WEBVTT

03:00.000 --> 03:01.600
They know we're all dead

03:01.600 --> 03:03.580
No one can beat you off so we gonna die

03:03.580 --> 03:04.980
Gonna be a nightmare

03:04.980 --> 03:06.580
No one can catch me

03:06.580 --> 03:08.180
Now you're the one you'll see

03:08.180 --> 03:09.580
Got you, you have no one

03:09.580 --> 03:11.180
Girl, just got you, what's the got?

03:11.180 --> 03:12.820
You know I'll go

03:12.820 --> 03:14.860
No, no, get you, there's another

03:15.820 --> 03:17.660
No more, you can't move about

03:17.660 --> 03:20.960
I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not

03:20.960 --> 03:22.760
Don't tell them, focus on me

03:23.560 --> 03:25.200
If I like it

03:25.200 --> 03:26.400
I'm gonna get it

03:26.400 --> 03:28.360
No, you can't be like me

03:28.360 --> 03:30.360
I wonder if I'm still hiding

03:30.360 --> 03:32.760
What I'm holding

03:32.760 --> 03:36.360
I can't even look at the moon

03:36.360 --> 03:42.360
Right now, standing in front of me

03:42.360 --> 03:45.960
I don't even think about it

03:45.960 --> 03:49.960
I know, I'm crazy

03:49.960 --> 03:53.160
I'm not strong enough, I'm different from you

03:53.160 --> 03:54.760
I give up, you can't do that

03:54.760 --> 03:56.360
I'm going this far

04:26.360 --> 04:28.360
I don't mind

04:29.360 --> 04:31.360
I'm a feeling in my mind

04:32.360 --> 04:34.360
Come on, what do you want from me?

04:35.360 --> 04:37.360
I know my power

04:38.360 --> 04:40.360
It's a top of the world

04:41.360 --> 04:43.360
Follow me, I'll follow you

04:44.360 --> 04:46.360
I can't do anything

04:47.360 --> 04:49.360
I'm a feeling in my mind

04:50.360 --> 04:52.360
I'm a feeling in my mind

04:53.360 --> 04:55.360
I'm a feeling in my mind

04:56.360 --> 04:59.160
Can't lie like me, I don't know what to do

04:59.160 --> 05:02.480
I'm still waiting for you

05:02.480 --> 05:06.080
I can't look back, I can't do anything

05:06.080 --> 05:09.320
I want it, my mental world are mine

05:09.320 --> 05:11.520
I don't know what to do, I just don't know

05:11.520 --> 05:15.160
Follow me like it, I can't leave you

05:15.160 --> 05:18.880
I can't look back, I can't do anything

06:18.880 --> 06:20.880
I

08:18.880 --> 08:20.280
You're right

08:20.280 --> 08:22.280
Flipping through in the morning

08:22.280 --> 08:24.280
When I was down in the night

08:24.280 --> 08:26.280
When you were the one

08:26.280 --> 08:28.280
I was down in the sun alive

08:28.280 --> 08:30.280
We gon' sleep through the nights

08:30.280 --> 08:32.280
Then we'll take you on for a ride

08:32.280 --> 08:34.280
Get high, get wild, get wild

08:34.280 --> 08:36.280
Shut up and drive

08:36.280 --> 08:38.280
Can we just shut up and drive

08:38.280 --> 08:40.280
I'm running but the fuck is that

08:40.280 --> 08:42.280
Is on the new heat from

08:42.280 --> 08:44.280
We can jump for the night

08:44.280 --> 08:46.280
Can we something to maybe

08:46.280 --> 08:49.480
I'll leave it on the high, the high

08:50.980 --> 08:54.080
I'm just a fight, one that's running out

08:54.780 --> 08:57.580
Don't touch me, touch me, don't let go

08:58.180 --> 09:00.880
I'll wait, don't let go, don't let go

09:00.880 --> 09:02.780
I'll leave it on the high, the high

09:02.780 --> 09:04.680
All the bad things can't just stay

09:05.780 --> 09:08.980
I'm a new guy, one of the stars

09:09.480 --> 09:11.980
I'm a new guy, one like

09:12.280 --> 09:15.580
We may be one, no one can hurt

09:46.280 --> 09:48.280
We lost, it doesn't matter where we go

09:50.280 --> 09:52.280
I expect you for the one that's runnin' down

09:53.280 --> 09:56.280
Don't touch me, don't touch me, don't touch me

09:57.280 --> 09:59.280
Don't let me fall, don't touch me, don't touch me

10:00.280 --> 10:03.280
Don't let it get to shit

10:04.280 --> 10:07.280
What's the guy, what's the guy

10:08.280 --> 10:10.280
What's the guy, what's the guy

10:11.280 --> 10:14.280
We like that man, no one can hurt

10:44.280 --> 10:48.280
Oh, come on, what a night

10:48.280 --> 10:52.280
Oh, come on, what a cold sky

10:52.280 --> 10:55.280
Oh, come on, what a night

10:55.280 --> 10:59.280
We'll remember no one can

10:59.280 --> 11:03.280
Oh, come on, what a night

15:44.280 --> 15:46.280
I

19:44.280 --> 19:46.280
I

20:14.280 --> 20:17.480
Shut up and drive, get me to shut up and drive

20:17.480 --> 20:21.480
I'm going to fuck the fucking drivers on a new day at night

20:22.280 --> 20:29.080
We can talk for the night, give me something to make me leave it all behind

20:30.680 --> 20:33.480
Honey, it's crazy for you, my next world

20:34.280 --> 20:37.080
Oh, I'm trying to catch up with you

20:37.880 --> 20:40.280
Oh, if you don't show me that, I'm going to kill you

20:40.280 --> 20:42.280
I'm not a fan of you, I'm not a fan of you.

20:42.280 --> 20:44.280
Nobody can change.

20:46.280 --> 20:48.280
Oh my God, you don't wanna go to the sky.

20:48.280 --> 20:50.280
Oh my God, you don't wanna lie.

20:52.280 --> 20:54.280
We ain't no li'lies, no one ever.

20:56.280 --> 20:58.280
Oh my God, you don't wanna get what I like.

20:58.280 --> 21:00.280
You're just a little demon lies.

21:00.280 --> 21:02.280
Yeah, it cuts through.

21:02.280 --> 21:04.280
Everyone's having a hell.

21:04.280 --> 21:06.280
Yeah, this our life.

21:06.280 --> 21:09.280
I hate doing it on your side.

21:10.280 --> 21:14.780
Saga-jiri, Asima, License, K-pop, L.A.X.

21:14.780 --> 21:18.480
To Asi-in, back in July, the country sounds

21:18.480 --> 21:21.180
I don't go back, no rewind

21:21.180 --> 21:23.780
Na na na, I'm going up to the middle to be a lifelike

21:23.780 --> 21:26.880
Learn through time, and it doesn't matter where we go

21:26.880 --> 21:28.380
It doesn't matter where we go

21:29.580 --> 21:32.880
The high and the spacious, flying world is round and round

21:33.380 --> 21:36.380
The thorns of the world, the thorns of the world

21:36.880 --> 21:39.680
The thorns of the world, the thorns of the world

21:39.680 --> 21:41.680
I

22:39.680 --> 22:42.940
I told you I was done with basic browsers

22:48.560 --> 22:53.520
Your setup wants opera GX and you're holding it back

23:01.960 --> 23:03.960
Upgrade to the game browser

23:03.960 --> 23:13.400
When I was a player, if I was to make a misplay, maybe it's my mouse, maybe it's my armrest,

23:13.400 --> 23:15.040
something feels wrong.

23:15.040 --> 23:17.120
If you were at home, you wouldn't do that.

23:17.120 --> 23:21.920
The Infinite Precision Armrest is part of the largest ukulele on-stage standard initiative

23:21.920 --> 23:26.000
aimed to bring your home or training room settings to the tournament stage.

23:26.000 --> 23:31.000
Not only that, but other players will also make the team more aggressive.

23:31.000 --> 23:35.000
The most comfortable play would be that of course.

24:26.000 --> 24:40.680
Tired of the off-season blues once Worlds is over?

24:40.680 --> 24:45.900
Fear not, because League of Legends is coming to the very first Esports Nations Cup, where

24:45.900 --> 24:50.480
players split from their clubs and compete for national pride.

24:50.480 --> 24:53.000
Will China test every limit imaginable?

24:53.000 --> 24:57.000
Will South Korea turn every game into a macro masterclass?

24:57.000 --> 25:00.500
Will EU and NA actually play in the correct lengths?

25:00.500 --> 25:03.500
The final event of the year is not to be missed.

25:03.500 --> 25:06.000
Esports Nation's Cup 2026.

25:06.000 --> 25:07.500
See you in Riyadh.

25:09.000 --> 25:12.000
With my new phone company, Menace Mobile,

25:12.000 --> 25:14.500
our pricing structure will be so confusing.

25:14.500 --> 25:17.000
It could already be described as evil.

25:17.000 --> 25:20.000
That isn't evil. It's just typical phone company stuff.

25:20.000 --> 25:22.000
Besides, people would just switch to Verizon.

25:22.000 --> 25:25.600
With their new simplicity plan, there's just one plan and one price.

25:25.600 --> 25:26.100
What now?

25:26.100 --> 25:28.100
And it's only $30 for a single line.

25:28.100 --> 25:29.600
$30!

25:29.600 --> 25:31.600
So you're all choosing Verizon?

25:31.600 --> 25:32.800
Treaters!

25:32.800 --> 25:36.400
Introducing the simplicity plan, $30 for a single line.

25:36.400 --> 25:37.800
Can you hear me now?

25:37.800 --> 25:38.800
Ha ha ha!

25:38.800 --> 25:43.400
Ha ha ha!

25:43.400 --> 25:46.200
Red Bull gives you wings.

25:46.200 --> 25:51.100
Times like this, a where star players shine,

25:51.100 --> 26:00.100
And new legends step up, where legacies are built and dreams are either realized or ripped apart.

26:00.100 --> 26:02.100
He still doesn't die!

26:02.100 --> 26:04.100
He cannot stand the break-up!

26:04.100 --> 26:08.100
And especially the quackers at the top of the world!

26:08.100 --> 26:13.100
He flies around with the audience on, doing so much more than he can dream!

26:13.100 --> 26:16.100
The legend is going to ease them!

26:16.100 --> 26:21.700
In eSports, legendary moments demand speed, scale, and soul.

26:21.700 --> 26:23.900
Players and fans bring the heart.

26:23.900 --> 26:26.200
Technology gains it to life.

26:26.200 --> 26:30.500
Every frame, every stat, every decisive play.

26:30.500 --> 26:33.300
In partnership with League of Legends eSports,

26:33.300 --> 26:38.500
we're driving digital innovation that empowers the eSports ecosystem to keep expanding.

26:39.500 --> 26:43.700
So players can focus on the game, and fans can focus on the moment.

28:16.100 --> 28:18.100
I can't do it anymore

28:18.100 --> 28:21.100
I don't care, I'm just a banana

28:21.100 --> 28:23.100
I'm not a banana, yeah

28:23.100 --> 28:26.100
I'm still a princess on me

28:26.100 --> 28:29.100
Guess I like it, I'm a girl

28:29.100 --> 28:31.100
Oh you can't like me

28:31.100 --> 28:32.100
I don't know yet

28:32.100 --> 28:35.100
I'm still looking at you

28:35.100 --> 28:39.100
I can't do it anymore

28:39.100 --> 28:42.100
I'm standing in front of you

28:42.100 --> 28:45.100
I think it's time

28:45.100 --> 28:48.100
I don't have to think about it

28:48.100 --> 28:52.100
I know it, I'm not done yet

28:52.100 --> 28:54.100
I keep feeling it, I'm just here

28:54.100 --> 28:56.100
I'm different from you

28:56.100 --> 28:58.100
I can't look at you, I'm just here

28:58.100 --> 29:01.100
I can't go, I'm going to be special

29:01.100 --> 29:03.100
Now, come in

29:03.100 --> 29:05.100
Focus on me

29:05.100 --> 29:09.100
Look at me, you're all I see

29:39.100 --> 29:41.100
I

30:09.100 --> 30:34.300
It is HLE vs BLG for a spot in the grand finals of MSI 2026.

30:34.300 --> 30:39.820
is what is on the line today as we see them both with their signature moments to make sure that we

30:39.820 --> 30:43.980
know what's coming on the Rift. Welcome, my name is Shox, and I'm joined by the analyst with the

30:43.980 --> 30:48.860
most spreadsheet in the world, Emily, a literal world champion in a Zale and a professional

30:48.860 --> 30:55.420
rage baiter in Joshua. That's what it's become. Do you like it? I used to be the stats guy,

30:55.420 --> 31:02.620
now she's the spreadsheet girl. I watched a podcast, what can I say? She's staying with the current

31:02.620 --> 31:05.620
I was a Gilgore's World Champion. Nobody talks about that.

31:05.620 --> 31:06.620
Okay, next time. I got you.

31:06.620 --> 31:07.620
No, it's fine. It's fine.

31:07.620 --> 31:08.620
It's fine.

31:08.620 --> 31:09.620
It's fine.

31:09.620 --> 31:10.620
It's fine.

31:10.620 --> 31:13.620
It works. 1-0 for Shot.

31:13.620 --> 31:20.620
Hey, let's take a look at what happened yesterday because it was a wonderful day to be an NA-NAU fanazale.

31:20.620 --> 31:26.620
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, a lot of people are saying, oh, it's this expected result for Lyon, but TSW,

31:26.620 --> 31:30.620
I was not looking at that as a guaranteed win after they did take down Top,

31:30.620 --> 31:35.340
top and we know how good CFO has been so I was a little bit nervous but I was proud of our boys

31:35.340 --> 31:40.380
they got the job done and they did it very convincing and I'm proud of my boys let me tell

31:40.380 --> 31:45.100
you that I haven't had as good as the day that I had yesterday in seven years shot. Is it this

31:45.100 --> 31:51.980
something that is so MSI like NA does something good and it's just immediately forgotten. Oh my

31:51.980 --> 31:57.340
god. Last time we did something good the next day it was forgotten within four hours this one

31:57.340 --> 32:02.940
was forgotten. We're top four guarantee. Don't worry tomorrow you can make sure to prove to everyone

32:02.940 --> 32:08.060
that you are the better team. But I think the really cool thing here is for the first time in a

32:08.060 --> 32:13.660
long time the top four is a different top number one team from each region right. So we have NAEU,

32:13.660 --> 32:19.180
LCK, LPL all represented which is amazing. Absolutely and since the format changed since

32:19.180 --> 32:24.780
there have been two LPL and LCK seats at MSI the number two seats of those regions have always been

32:24.780 --> 32:29.300
in top four. So the fact that they weren't this year, I'm not going to say that the gap

32:29.300 --> 32:34.340
is closing because we know how that goes. Oh my gosh. I am not going to say it because

32:34.340 --> 32:37.780
it's not, but I'm still very excited about the prospects of G2M line. It's awesome.

32:37.780 --> 32:42.340
I wonder how many people remember the original meme watching now. Not many, but I'm going

32:42.340 --> 32:48.540
to skip across that because I'm super hyped for this matchup HLE versus BLG because these

32:48.540 --> 32:54.580
are the two tournament favorites that everyone kind of identified going into this series.

32:54.580 --> 32:58.740
They play a bit similarly, which is kind of why everyone pegged them as favorites, and

32:58.740 --> 33:00.460
I'm so excited to see them face off today.

33:00.460 --> 33:04.340
And we've got to talk about the greater context here, which is the biggest, the biggest running

33:04.340 --> 33:07.860
story in global loli sports, LPL versus LCK.

33:07.860 --> 33:08.860
Absolutely.

33:08.860 --> 33:11.820
And if you look at the overall trend, it's going to be LCK favorite, but let's cherry

33:11.820 --> 33:12.820
pick.

33:12.820 --> 33:14.580
Let's look at just MSI.

33:14.580 --> 33:20.060
Total MSI titles, the LPL has more, more than the LCK.

33:20.060 --> 33:21.900
They won the first MSI.

33:21.900 --> 33:26.420
They have not won the most recent MSI, but they still have more titles, 5 to 4.

33:26.420 --> 33:30.420
But if you zoom out as well, look at every single game they played against each other,

33:30.420 --> 33:32.860
the LPL has that edge as well.

33:32.860 --> 33:37.180
I believe they have 46 game wins to the LCK's 42 game wins.

33:37.180 --> 33:40.420
And this is kind of representative of how I feel the strength of the regions are.

33:40.420 --> 33:43.340
And it's just Worlds T1 that ends up messing this up.

33:43.340 --> 33:46.100
But in terms of MSI, it's a very even playing field.

33:46.100 --> 33:47.100
It is.

33:47.100 --> 33:49.100
I will say though, don't despair because T1 is out.

33:49.100 --> 33:54.380
You know HLE still has a really good shot and historically even you know if you discount T1

33:54.380 --> 33:59.460
The LCK does have a winning record in best of lives against the LPL even at MSI

33:59.580 --> 34:05.340
So people who are just saying oh, there's no T1. There's no chance. That is absolutely not the case

34:05.940 --> 34:07.540
This is a very cool graphic

34:07.540 --> 34:11.100
So top is first stand middle as MSI bottom is worlds

34:11.100 --> 34:16.020
You can see the LPL had that amazing three-year streak at MSI and also had a world's title

34:16.020 --> 34:22.340
But the despair was pretty large going into 2026 for the LPL because of all those consecutive LCK victories

34:22.340 --> 34:28.620
Four worlds to MSI's and the inaugural first in but BLG has broken the streak and are looking to make some special happen

34:28.620 --> 34:30.620
Where's the color code for LCS?

34:31.580 --> 34:34.740
Where's the cover code your face

34:39.740 --> 34:42.060
My foundation match is excellent

34:46.020 --> 34:47.020
What's going on?

34:47.020 --> 34:48.020
That's what we're talking about!

34:48.020 --> 34:50.020
It's about BLG and HLE!

34:50.020 --> 34:51.020
Let's go!

34:51.020 --> 34:52.020
Ah!

34:52.020 --> 34:54.020
But it's also, well, it is about the greater context, right, Emily?

34:54.020 --> 34:58.020
Because now, um, BLG, of course, is sole LPL representative here

34:58.020 --> 35:02.020
in HLE after T1 being out, now carrying all of that burden.

35:02.020 --> 35:07.020
Yeah, and I mean, I think HLE and BLG, again, as I identified,

35:07.020 --> 35:11.020
since they play really similarly, since I think they had such a good read

35:11.020 --> 35:14.020
on the meta, even going into this tournament,

35:14.020 --> 35:20.840
I I think it's no surprise that they're facing each other in the upper bracket and with their first stand wind

35:20.840 --> 35:26.800
I thought that was really crucial to helping define the global meta that we've been seeing it absolutely was

35:26.800 --> 35:28.380
I mean we heard it from teams in LCS

35:28.380 --> 35:34.500
We've heard it all around the world when BLG dominated at first and it became the discussion

35:34.500 --> 35:35.500
We need to play faster

35:35.500 --> 35:42.820
We need to actually reshape how we are playing league how we define the best league as being played because it had traditionally been about

35:42.820 --> 35:49.700
control from Korea about playing methodically and the LPL brought some chaos at BLG specifically brought that chaos

35:49.840 --> 35:57.360
playing aggressively forcing skirmishes non-stop fights and skill-checking you at every stage throughout the game and

35:57.500 --> 36:01.020
Teams have adapted to that. We've seen that here at MSI

36:01.020 --> 36:04.720
We definitely haven't to bring HLE into that conversation jet, right?

36:04.720 --> 36:06.760
They didn't start the year off phenomenally

36:06.760 --> 36:12.760
but with bringing in Kanavi and making sure that that playstyle was adapted into being more proactive from HLE,

36:12.760 --> 36:15.960
we're seeing a direct connection to that BLG influence.

36:15.960 --> 36:19.360
We really are, and I think the other small thing about this is,

36:19.360 --> 36:22.560
I remember our discussions about the meta going into first stand.

36:22.560 --> 36:27.160
We were thinking that it was going to be all about lane-locked 2v2s,

36:27.160 --> 36:31.160
and so many readings were playing around bot priority and range supports,

36:31.160 --> 36:33.560
and then BLG really de-prioritized that,

36:33.560 --> 36:35.160
And look at the teams that are playing here.

36:35.160 --> 36:37.460
We've got a couple of mage bot lane players

36:37.460 --> 36:39.200
that almost never see their support.

36:39.200 --> 36:41.460
So a big part of how these teams get on the map

36:41.460 --> 36:44.240
is they just unleash their supports from their AD carries

36:44.240 --> 36:47.240
and it helps in that fast play style, which is really cool.

36:47.240 --> 36:49.640
Yeah, that's why I think I know I keep hammering home

36:49.640 --> 36:52.100
every desk I'm on, but jungle support duo

36:52.100 --> 36:54.440
is just super, super important.

36:54.440 --> 36:59.240
And both of these teams have very formidable jungle support duos

36:59.240 --> 37:02.480
and you can kind of see other teams really trying

37:02.480 --> 37:07.200
to adapt to that. If we look at the combined kills per minute just from yesterday's series,

37:07.200 --> 37:11.040
I actually thought Schumann and LeBrov were working super well together, especially in

37:11.040 --> 37:15.680
a lot of their team fight setups. And the combined kills per minute in that series,

37:15.680 --> 37:19.520
I think it's 1.13. It'll show up in a minute. It wasn't insane.

37:19.520 --> 37:23.520
Look at just the last game. We have like a Kled and a Katelyn, both with 15 kills.

37:24.560 --> 37:28.480
Absolutely insane. I think there were kill records for both of their champions respectively.

37:28.480 --> 37:30.080
Yeah. So, Broken Blade. Ridiculous.

37:30.080 --> 37:36.780
Rookimbley set an MSI record for all top laners and tied the international game record for top laner kills with season 2 Mac Noon

37:36.780 --> 37:37.280
Yep

37:37.280 --> 37:42.720
And then Paze, not only did he have kills from Kaelin, he had the second most damage per minute in a game

37:43.400 --> 37:46.640
In international history. He did almost a hundred thousand damage in that game. Yeah

37:46.640 --> 37:50.880
Yeah, so Sneaky did the most on Kaelin, also lost. Paze did the second most, also lost

37:52.160 --> 37:54.160
Something about Kaelin. Hello, Hell.

37:54.160 --> 37:55.440
It's crazy, he really is.

37:55.440 --> 37:57.800
We do have a little bit more time here, I just heard.

37:57.800 --> 38:01.020
So I did want to talk a little bit about that because just a couple of days ago

38:01.020 --> 38:07.360
We were talking so much about the mages in the bot lane absolutely dominating thinking if you cannot play that card yourself

38:07.360 --> 38:10.680
You will be in trouble then yesterday in the G2t1 series

38:10.680 --> 38:16.360
We saw that oh no we can also go to different route and have the classic ADC matchups and lane prowess right?

38:16.360 --> 38:18.280
How is that? What is the meta gonna look like today?

38:18.280 --> 38:20.040
I mean, I think we're gonna see a mix right?

38:20.040 --> 38:22.780
I still think it is extremely advantageous to be able to play those picks

38:22.780 --> 38:27.940
Otherwise, you can be stuck in a situation where you're having to spend a lot of bands throughout the series on champions like Sigs like

38:27.940 --> 38:32.500
Mel and Camille and Pike are much better pairings with mages than they are with traditional ADCs as well

38:32.500 --> 38:34.500
So I do think it is still extremely advantageous

38:34.820 --> 38:42.020
But I've always been such a supporter of playing your style playing what you are best at and I think that is why you know

38:42.020 --> 38:45.840
I've always been such a big fan of broken blade and his ability to play the game because

38:46.460 --> 38:51.580
He brings out such unique picks and even if that is not the strongest pick in the meta

38:51.580 --> 38:55.340
It is the strongest pick for him and gives him the best chance of winning. Yeah

38:55.340 --> 38:57.380
One of the draft things that G2 did yesterday

38:57.380 --> 38:58.980
So you had the same three bands in all four games

38:58.980 --> 39:01.580
So they banned Jace, Vi, and Orianna

39:01.580 --> 39:06.500
And I think specifically Jace and the Vi were really core in the way that not only they could enable the major bot lanes

39:06.500 --> 39:09.300
But they could also do snap engages if the games weren't going well

39:10.100 --> 39:15.300
However, I would say with the way BLG and HLE have been approaching this series

39:15.300 --> 39:18.540
Like we're gonna see Jace picked most likely in the first game

39:18.540 --> 39:25.040
no matter what, and there'll be some type of skill matchup, and it's not going to be a big difficulty to like get AD top jungle

39:25.300 --> 39:29.180
because like both teams want to play like that, so they're going to exhaust their fearless cards and then go to the next one.

39:29.180 --> 39:35.160
Yeah, it's not necessarily that something has been trending that the teams who have been strong will go for that, and in this case obviously is Ale.

39:35.160 --> 39:39.780
The top laners will be top of mind, Bin versus Zayus, water matchup.

39:39.780 --> 39:46.260
I mean it is, it is just such a treat to watch players that are arguably the two best in the entire world going head to head.

39:46.260 --> 39:49.020
There are great team fighters here there people to bring out cool picks

39:49.180 --> 39:53.880
But we want to see the two man with the best hands and these are down going at it in the top lane

39:54.000 --> 39:57.440
Both of them are just so aggressive in lane

39:57.440 --> 40:04.280
They squeeze you for every little advantage every CS you're getting punished on and that is what makes it so exciting to watch

40:04.280 --> 40:08.580
Because you know either one with a misstep the other can completely take over the game

40:09.020 --> 40:15.200
Completely take over the series. Yeah, I love seeing both of their forward percentage, especially been up past 40 percent

40:15.200 --> 40:17.200
I will be cooking for him.

40:17.200 --> 40:23.460
You know he's going to be pushing that lane and sometimes can get collapsed on and punished because of it, right?

40:23.460 --> 40:28.280
I will actually say, I hope I don't speak out of turn, but you've actually not been

40:29.240 --> 40:31.080
incidentally impressed with Bin so far.

40:31.080 --> 40:36.420
I think he's Bin shaker than I expected at this tournament. If I have to compare the way these two top laners are playing,

40:36.420 --> 40:40.960
I just think Zayas has been a lot more solid and steady, right?

40:40.960 --> 40:47.040
where Ben has been a little bit more volatile which is kind of of his nature as well in the way he likes to play the game

40:47.040 --> 40:49.560
So I'm super excited to see them go up against each other

40:49.560 --> 40:53.200
And I also just love the four percentage combined with this quote

40:53.200 --> 41:00.400
Where Ben is talking some trash as he loves to do and he's yeah, I'm the person who's always at the enemy tower

41:00.400 --> 41:04.320
And he's saying just don't call your jungler. Let's make it a lucky one. Come on, bro

41:04.320 --> 41:08.320
I mean, I'm just gonna have last pick make sure you don't call your jungler. It's chill

41:08.320 --> 41:14.320
I'm gonna be in a counter matchup, and I think that's the other small thing I'm looking for like these guys are so good and can get

41:14.320 --> 41:18.560
All the small advantages that have any matchup. I really need to see like

41:19.160 --> 41:24.960
How many games they're gonna save top lane for last bit? Yeah, depending on fearless like okay if they can blind pick Jason

41:24.960 --> 41:27.960
I can do it, but after that I feel like we're gonna be seeing

41:28.640 --> 41:33.840
Second pick be a very important thing in this series. Absolutely, especially knowing that like the bot lanes

41:33.840 --> 41:35.840
the game. They're going to be

41:35.840 --> 41:37.840
playing the game. They're going

41:37.840 --> 41:39.840
to be playing the games, you

41:39.840 --> 41:41.840
know, kind of on their own,

41:41.840 --> 41:43.840
especially to AD carry, so

41:43.840 --> 41:44.840
maybe it will all be about

41:44.840 --> 41:45.840
top. But of course, we cannot

41:45.840 --> 41:46.840
speak about this matchup

41:46.840 --> 41:49.840
without specifically for BLG

41:49.840 --> 41:51.840
also talking about night in

41:51.840 --> 41:52.840
the mid lane. Yeah, absolutely.

41:52.840 --> 41:53.840
Night has just been stellar to

41:53.840 --> 41:54.840
me. He is the de facto best

41:54.840 --> 41:55.840
player in the world right now.

41:55.840 --> 41:57.840
I think most people are looking

41:57.840 --> 41:58.840
at him and Kariah Kariah did

41:58.840 --> 41:59.840
not play to the same level. I

41:59.840 --> 42:01.840
think that night has shown us

42:01.840 --> 42:02.840
so far in this event. Night has

42:02.840 --> 42:08.840
win and against Lyon. He was the one breaking our hearts. It felt like every single time in the team fighting.

42:08.840 --> 42:12.840
This guy is so around it. He can go late game. He can play melee. He can play control mages.

42:12.840 --> 42:18.840
He can run over you in lane. He can dominate you in a 5v5. He's as close as you can get to the perfect league player today.

42:18.840 --> 42:25.840
Yeah, and that's why I really want to point to his kill participation because especially in these T1 and Lyon series,

42:25.840 --> 42:30.840
there were games where he would just have 100% kill participation, right?

42:30.840 --> 42:33.680
And a lot of the champion picks they did save for him.

42:33.680 --> 42:36.360
Swain in particular, I know the Swain highlight

42:36.360 --> 42:38.000
is in this highlight reel.

42:38.000 --> 42:38.840
Somewhere here it is.

42:38.840 --> 42:39.880
Here it is.

42:39.880 --> 42:42.400
Was just absolutely insane.

42:42.400 --> 42:45.920
Whenever it seems like BLG is in trouble

42:45.920 --> 42:49.200
and something is going wrong, I heard that.

42:49.200 --> 42:50.600
And left.

42:50.600 --> 42:54.520
If Knight Ken is one of those players who just is so good,

42:54.520 --> 42:56.720
he can bail you out in these team fights.

42:56.720 --> 42:59.360
And he did it so often throughout the LPL season.

42:59.360 --> 43:03.460
You and I were looking at some stats a couple weeks back and like he was

43:04.400 --> 43:08.760
60 kills above the next closest player in the LPL his kills per game

43:08.760 --> 43:14.280
I couldn't check everything because I'm not actually that great at like pulling databases sheets. I know I know I'm just

43:17.840 --> 43:23.780
His kills per game was higher than I could find that's all the way going back to like season 3 League of Legends

43:23.780 --> 43:29.740
The split that he had was so statistically exceptional like double-digit kills

43:29.940 --> 43:35.980
He seemed to have more often than not and you almost never see double-digit kills in professional League of Legends games

43:35.980 --> 43:39.980
That's why it's so funny when people talk about night like how'd you let us Ari through it's 100% wait

43:39.980 --> 43:42.920
Well, how do you like my syndrome? You can't learn how that what do you do? You're gonna get my rise

43:42.920 --> 43:47.700
You're gonna give him Orianna. Yeah, you can't give him anything. Oh, you're gonna get him swaying. You fool

43:48.380 --> 43:50.900
Everything let's talk about his lane opponent then and for me

43:50.900 --> 43:58.260
the story of Zeka is one of the most interesting stories for a mid laner if in all of League

43:58.260 --> 44:03.580
Esports history. I think unfortunately he shares the mid lane with Faker, with Jovey,

44:03.580 --> 44:07.580
with Knight so that we don't talk about it that often. But let's take a closer look

44:07.580 --> 44:13.420
at Zeka and his career, right? Because in terms of like, peaks and drops, it's insane.

44:13.420 --> 44:20.500
Yeah, and I mean when we first saw him in the LPL, he was not doing as well. 2022 was

44:20.500 --> 44:26.080
kind of his oh okay he's doing a lot better but only on his pics and after

44:26.080 --> 44:30.700
that world to kind of unlock something in him where he just became so

44:30.700 --> 44:35.560
proficient on stuff including the melee carries he was known for but vastly

44:35.560 --> 44:39.140
outside of it as well. Well that's what I really love about Zekka is there are

44:39.140 --> 44:42.260
players who peek in the right meta at the right time and then they kind of

44:42.260 --> 44:45.360
just fall off the bat. Yeah. You know people said that about Crown people say

44:45.360 --> 44:48.100
oh you're just right place right time and people are making those arguments

44:48.100 --> 44:52.100
about Zekka when he won Worlds. He's just the melee guy in the melee meta, but he's

44:52.100 --> 44:57.020
been able to completely redefine himself as a player and become so much more of a complete

44:57.020 --> 45:01.660
player to be able to succeed in so many different metas now. And I think that is such a hard

45:01.660 --> 45:02.660
thing to do at the highest level.

45:02.660 --> 45:07.140
Absolutely so. And we'll enter the next graphic because this is one that you requested. But

45:07.140 --> 45:10.780
for Zekka, it's also about, you know, he had fearless thrown his way too, right? And if

45:10.780 --> 45:14.780
you can imagine if someone's already struggling with a champion pool, so what did he do to

45:14.780 --> 45:20.380
with that. So you see this and you think, oh wait, he played way more champions in 2022,

45:20.380 --> 45:26.380
right? But I do want to talk about some of the win rates on those champions because in 2022,

45:26.380 --> 45:32.860
if you look at stuff like the Akali or the Silas, okay, he's 72% win rate, 76% win rate,

45:32.860 --> 45:36.220
those are the kind of things these melee carries you don't want to let him have.

45:36.220 --> 45:42.220
But then on, especially on standard mages, Orianna, 0 and 2, 0% win rate, RISE,

45:42.220 --> 45:48.860
0-3, 0% win rate. LeBlanc, 2-5, 28% win rate. There was a reason why Oxnard were like,

45:49.580 --> 45:52.380
even with how much he's improved, they were like, I don't know about LeBlanc.

45:52.380 --> 46:00.620
In 2026, Ori, 75% win rate. Ryze, 66.7% win rate. And LeBlanc, actually 100% win rate,

46:00.620 --> 46:01.820
because that was the only time he's played it this year.

46:01.820 --> 46:02.540
That's not bad.

46:02.540 --> 46:05.180
No. It looks smaller, but it's actually better.

46:05.180 --> 46:06.060
Yeah, exactly.

46:06.700 --> 46:10.700
I mean, it's about not just the amount of champions, it's proficiency with them.

46:10.700 --> 46:14.300
Right, and it's the breadth of champions that he can bring out now, the breadth of styles.

46:14.300 --> 46:16.200
And he does still have all of those pocket picks.

46:16.200 --> 46:20.200
We haven't seen Akali get banned out much more than we've actually been getting it see played.

46:20.200 --> 46:24.500
But if you get deep and fearless, do you want to maintain a ban like that the entire series long?

46:24.500 --> 46:28.500
It'll be really interesting to see what these teams decide to let through,

46:28.500 --> 46:33.400
where they're going to try to lay traps, because it is not easy when there are so many threats on the map.

46:33.400 --> 46:35.300
You can't give anyone their picks, it feels like.

46:35.300 --> 46:38.800
It's true. Let's hear from the man himself, because the Lord did have a chance to speak to Zeca

46:38.800 --> 46:40.800
and our Verizon Game Day interview.

46:43.800 --> 46:47.800
Zac, thank you so much for joining me ahead of the next round.

46:47.800 --> 46:49.800
First things first, congrats for making it thus far.

46:49.800 --> 46:52.800
Next opponent on the line is going to be BLG.

46:52.800 --> 46:56.800
What do you think of this team after watching them play against T1?

46:57.800 --> 47:00.800
BLG, you know, they're the best team from LPL.

47:00.800 --> 47:03.800
They just won, you know, their most recent internationals,

47:03.800 --> 47:07.800
and they just beat T1, so their form is really good.

47:07.800 --> 47:11.080
So I think field is for sure the toughest opponent possible.

47:11.080 --> 47:15.040
So I think we have to really lock in and prepare as early as possible.

47:17.400 --> 47:19.840
What do you think makes them that strong as a team?

47:21.440 --> 47:25.440
Both of the players spend time together for a long time, so great teamwork

47:25.440 --> 47:27.040
and also the all of the individual players.

47:27.040 --> 47:29.560
I think they're like the strongest from the LPL.

47:29.560 --> 47:33.120
So by having the strong individual players, they're naturally really strong.

47:33.120 --> 47:46.120
Looking at individual players, someone that we highlighted during the Siwon series last night, of course, that you're going to be facing off against, what is something that you have to be careful about specifically when you play against nights?

47:46.120 --> 47:49.940
night his landing phase is really strong but also his skirt mischief and team

47:49.940 --> 47:54.440
fighting is really on point as well so I gotta trust myself and you know put out

47:54.440 --> 47:58.620
the best performance I've got as well I think the key point on the matchup will

47:58.620 --> 48:02.120
be the mid jungle fight so I think we should be really flexible and also

48:02.120 --> 48:06.200
ahead of them standing on the side of BLG is someone who used to wear your

48:06.200 --> 48:09.840
colors last year as Viper will be playing alongside him do you have a

48:09.840 --> 48:15.000
message for him yeah I really wanted to have a matchup with him Viper this year

48:15.000 --> 48:21.000
at some point, and he barely made it to this round by beating T1, I'm going to send him back down.

48:21.000 --> 48:25.000
Alright, time for revenge then.

48:25.000 --> 48:29.000
Thank you so much, NG-san. Thank you so much for the help.

48:31.000 --> 48:35.000
They're good. I'm going to look out for everything.

48:35.000 --> 48:41.000
I want to pose a question to my panel that Nymira actually sent out into the world, a BLG stand.

48:41.000 --> 48:48.900
And his pieces is basically that there is no team in the world that can answer the bin and knight question at the same time.

48:49.300 --> 48:52.200
Basically, that it's just too powerful.

48:52.200 --> 48:59.100
So I actually don't agree because I think that right now Zaeus to me is one of the guys who actually I would favor over bin into 1v1.

48:59.200 --> 49:02.800
And I think there's only a couple players in the entire world that you can even say that about.

49:02.800 --> 49:05.800
For me, it would maybe be Keen and Zaeus, that is opinion based.

49:05.800 --> 49:10.700
But I think if you can answer one of them in the 1v1, then you can answer the other one with support roams,

49:10.700 --> 49:13.540
with jungle attention, with coordinated play,

49:13.540 --> 49:15.700
and that is so much of what the game is about today.

49:15.700 --> 49:17.780
It is super interesting with Knight.

49:17.780 --> 49:20.740
I feel like I'm not going to favor Zeka against Knight,

49:20.740 --> 49:23.460
but I'm not going to say that Zeka can't beat Knight, right?

49:23.460 --> 49:25.700
And the jungler ganks, he was like, the only thing

49:25.700 --> 49:26.780
we got to watch him with jungle.

49:26.780 --> 49:28.900
But no, because we know how high Zeka's peeps can be.

49:28.900 --> 49:30.900
But I also think it's credit to Knight how good he is,

49:30.900 --> 49:33.140
because I remember we were saying the same thing

49:33.140 --> 49:35.300
about JDG back in 2023.

49:35.300 --> 49:38.180
Like, oh, no one can answer the Knight and ruler problem,

49:38.180 --> 49:40.020
because they both just be in their lane,

49:40.020 --> 49:41.660
get an advantage, and then when team fights,

49:41.660 --> 49:43.780
we're saying the same thing about BOT now,

49:43.780 --> 49:44.860
kind of, was been a nightmare.

49:44.860 --> 49:46.140
I love that callback.

49:46.140 --> 49:47.340
I love that callback.

49:47.340 --> 49:48.980
That's really, really cool.

49:48.980 --> 49:51.500
Moving on with Zeca and Viper, though, as well.

49:51.500 --> 49:52.780
He had a message there.

49:52.780 --> 49:53.820
He had more messages.

49:53.820 --> 49:56.100
We're going to throw it up on screen, as well, of course.

49:56.100 --> 49:58.220
They used to be teammates, but it does lead us

49:58.220 --> 50:00.900
into a little bit about a bot lane discussion as well.

50:00.900 --> 50:02.820
But yeah, he's a T1 BOT.

50:02.820 --> 50:03.940
Zeca didn't believe in you, guys.

50:03.940 --> 50:04.780
No, he didn't.

50:04.780 --> 50:05.340
Chucks.

50:05.340 --> 50:06.260
That's how it went.

50:06.260 --> 50:08.340
But that speaks to expectations, right?

50:08.340 --> 50:09.820
You know, this was a couple days ago.

50:09.820 --> 50:12.340
It's not like he forgot who won or anything like that.

50:12.340 --> 50:14.260
It didn't happen after the series.

50:14.260 --> 50:15.940
But the expectation, of course, is

50:15.940 --> 50:17.860
the back to back to back world champions

50:17.860 --> 50:20.260
are going to make it past the Western teams in the lower

50:20.260 --> 50:21.740
bracket, you would think.

50:21.740 --> 50:24.300
That is not how it actually ended up, though.

50:24.300 --> 50:25.780
And it is going to be interesting to see

50:25.780 --> 50:28.380
how this bot lane will match up, because they

50:28.380 --> 50:30.460
are very similar in the kind of expectations

50:30.460 --> 50:33.060
that teams put upon them and in the playstyle, right?

50:33.060 --> 50:34.660
There are two of these bot laners

50:34.660 --> 50:36.780
that you're generally not playing towards them.

50:36.780 --> 50:41.580
We talked so much about how it was about Paze and Karrie at Dominant in 2v2

50:41.580 --> 50:43.080
playing towards that side of the map.

50:43.080 --> 50:47.080
These other top teams are playing it a completely different way.

50:47.080 --> 50:52.580
Yeah, and I mean that is where I'm super curious to see the jungle support

50:52.580 --> 50:56.580
because that's where I personally answer the night bin question, right?

50:56.580 --> 51:03.380
It's like, okay, obviously, I don't think bin is playing up to his best level at this tournament thus far.

51:03.380 --> 51:07.580
Um, but I do think the difference makers are going to be how

51:07.720 --> 51:10.820
Canavi and Delight are working together to affect that top side

51:11.020 --> 51:13.880
and how shown and on are working together to affect the top side.

51:14.020 --> 51:17.260
Because like Isaac said, these are two teams that are going to play

51:17.260 --> 51:20.860
way more towards their top side of the map and leave their botlaners

51:20.860 --> 51:22.580
Viper and Gumiushi kind of on their own.

51:22.580 --> 51:24.580
Poor botlaners Gumi and Viper, right?

51:24.580 --> 51:26.180
They can never show what they really want to.

51:26.180 --> 51:29.660
And Lord did also catch up with Viper in another Horizon game they interviewed.

51:29.660 --> 51:35.900
Thank you so much for joining me, next opponent is going to be Homo Life Sports.

51:35.900 --> 51:39.140
You know them pretty well, but first things first, I do want to know, do you think it's

51:39.140 --> 51:43.860
going to be easier or harder than beating T1?

51:43.860 --> 51:50.700
I think Panna Life Match will be a little bit more trickier, but we went all the way

51:50.700 --> 51:55.460
to getting 5 up against T1 and I'm expecting something similar this time around.

51:55.460 --> 51:59.740
I do want to know, what do you think about the evolution of the team, since Gunma Yushi

51:59.740 --> 52:05.140
arrived instead of you in the bot lane, how are they playing around the bot lane now?

52:05.140 --> 52:11.080
The biggest change is that they are now playing a lot more aggressively, according to the

52:11.080 --> 52:17.820
meta, and also they have a jungler as well, and now they are, I think, playing a lot more

52:17.820 --> 52:18.820
topside games.

52:18.820 --> 52:25.820
Yeah, a lot of people say that the addition of Kanavi, who played so long in the LPL,

52:25.820 --> 52:30.820
actually makes Hanwha Life the most LPL LCK team ever.

52:30.820 --> 52:35.820
Do you agree on this and how much impact he had with the style he has in the jungle?

52:35.820 --> 52:37.820
I kind of disagree.

52:37.820 --> 52:43.820
At first, during the LCK Cup, we were able to kind of see those LPL moments,

52:43.820 --> 52:47.820
but right now, it's really adapted to the LCK style.

52:47.820 --> 52:51.820
I don't think there's any LCK team that is actually having an LPL style.

52:51.820 --> 52:55.820
I've talked to Zeca yesterday about you being his former teammate

52:55.820 --> 52:58.820
and he said that you barely made it out against T1 though

52:58.820 --> 53:01.820
so he's gonna make sure that you send your guys back to the lower bracket.

53:01.820 --> 53:03.820
Is there anything that you would like to tell him?

53:03.820 --> 53:06.820
First of all, I think his manners got really bad because, you know,

53:06.820 --> 53:09.820
well, I'm still older but I'm just home and he should have just said,

53:09.820 --> 53:12.820
like, okay, game, fight, you know, you worked so hard

53:12.820 --> 53:15.820
but, you know, he didn't say anything like that so his manners are really bad

53:15.820 --> 53:21.820
And then, well, I guess he saw the 2-1 series us up against T1,

53:21.820 --> 53:26.320
and he will realize that we are really strong into LCK teams as well.

53:26.320 --> 53:27.820
Ooh, yeah, teaching some manners.

53:27.820 --> 53:29.320
Thank you so much for the interview.

53:29.320 --> 53:30.320
Thank you.

53:31.820 --> 53:32.820
Oh, I dare you.

53:32.820 --> 53:34.320
Yeah, that's so funny.

53:34.320 --> 53:36.820
It's like, oh, I think you're a really bad manager now.

53:36.820 --> 53:40.320
I was happy to hear him mention Kenavi, though, right?

53:40.320 --> 53:47.520
because I think for this HLE team, one of the things that makes them so like snap, like the snap

53:47.520 --> 53:53.200
engages that we see from them, is from Kanavi. And even though I think the, oh, they finished in 10th

53:53.200 --> 53:59.600
place, so it's a little specious. However, this team has improved significantly with, specifically

53:59.600 --> 54:04.880
with their synergy with how aggressive Kanavi is willing to be now with the entire team backing

54:04.880 --> 54:09.440
up. I just found it really interesting that he said that both HLE is playing more aggressive

54:09.440 --> 54:12.600
to the meta, but also that they're not playing as an LPL style.

54:12.600 --> 54:15.000
So I'm really curious on what his distinction is,

54:15.000 --> 54:17.840
because most people, at least in our world,

54:17.840 --> 54:20.400
think about LPL style, meaning skirmish heavy,

54:20.400 --> 54:22.040
meaning aggressive, and that's kind of the thing

54:22.040 --> 54:23.600
that they're doing, but I guess he's seeing

54:23.600 --> 54:24.800
some sort of other distinction.

54:24.800 --> 54:27.400
I feel like he feels like it's more supported

54:27.400 --> 54:30.400
by other things in HLE, because we, I think,

54:30.400 --> 54:32.400
we are guilty of being very reductive,

54:32.400 --> 54:34.720
sometimes towards painting the LPL

54:34.720 --> 54:36.760
as aggressive and nothing else.

54:36.760 --> 54:37.960
And maybe perhaps he's like,

54:37.960 --> 54:42.660
Like well we have all these other things that we can also build on that's possible. I also kind of think he's trolling

54:43.300 --> 54:46.440
I think he's saying yeah, they're not LPL style. They're not in the LPL like that's the

54:47.100 --> 54:49.100
stupid analyst

54:49.600 --> 54:53.940
That's the thing I mean I'm I'm looking forward to this because of the rivalry between him and his former teams

54:53.940 --> 54:55.420
but also because of the

54:55.420 --> 55:02.100
fact that HLE's pressure has actually increased quite a lot the fact that he won God eliminated the fact this is an MSI on

55:02.220 --> 55:05.260
Home soil and they kind of have to win now

55:05.260 --> 55:08.500
I mean Gen G's one back-to-back MSIs. They're not here.

55:08.500 --> 55:12.420
HLE has something to do with that for sure, even though T1's the one that actually knocked them out of the best of fives.

55:12.420 --> 55:17.920
So, you know, pressure is on and they're also trying to forge their own legacy, especially when I look at the former T1 players.

55:17.920 --> 55:25.820
Yeah, absolutely so. There is a lower bracket, of course, but it still feels like there's more riding on this best of fives than usual because of everything we laid out before.

55:25.820 --> 55:33.120
We can never get enough of Bin talking about everything, and I believe we have a special video from Bin with his predictions about this matchup.

55:35.260 --> 55:41.020
After the next game, we won the final. I think everything is in my hands now.

55:41.020 --> 55:47.380
I think HLE is a strong team. But I think they are not as strong as we are.

55:47.380 --> 55:50.740
So we will fight them. I think this is a big advantage.

55:50.740 --> 55:55.300
I think the best way to defeat a stronger opponent is to prove yourself.

55:55.300 --> 55:57.900
I think I can just play as much as I want.

56:05.260 --> 56:17.260
Danger does taunt Upshun as now the route down onto Inspired, he's in a little bit of danger here by firing back Inspired looks for a little bit more, but he's going to be knocked out of the Guardian Angel, now the dive right back onto the same Isles, and same in some danger, been gripping the kill on the Isles.

56:17.260 --> 56:24.260
BLG! They're so damn good! Lion are eviscerated!

56:24.260 --> 56:29.260
I think it's a pretty normal thing to win a game.

56:29.260 --> 56:32.260
Because our strength is the most important thing.

56:32.260 --> 56:34.260
This is hard to say, I think.

56:34.260 --> 56:37.260
I think the standard of this year is very strong.

56:37.260 --> 56:40.260
If we can win the MSI championship and the World Championship,

56:40.260 --> 56:43.260
then we are going to be very competitive in the LPL game.

56:43.260 --> 56:47.260
I think it's a very practical thing.

56:54.260 --> 56:56.620
want to touch on that we haven't before we head into prediction.

56:56.620 --> 56:59.140
I just think we should talk a little bit about play style of the bot lane

56:59.140 --> 57:03.140
specifically, you know, they both are two similar styles, right?

57:03.140 --> 57:05.940
They have very low support procs and very low jungle procs.

57:06.100 --> 57:09.420
These guys are your prototypical weak side AD carry.

57:09.420 --> 57:11.620
If you want to put it like that, they're going to play mages.

57:11.620 --> 57:14.500
They're going to play things that are self sufficient so that their

57:14.500 --> 57:16.620
supports can get out of the map and make things happen.

57:16.900 --> 57:20.860
I think it's an incredible indication of what's been driving the meta.

57:20.860 --> 57:29.860
So many teams we felt like were playing outside of their comfort zone and it's likely because they were getting slammed in scrims by these guys because they're so effective at this style.

57:29.860 --> 57:37.860
I love that. Okay, let's take a look at the MasterCard fan predictions of the day to see which side they are taking before we dive into our own predictions.

57:37.860 --> 57:42.860
We'll see who was up to vote and who was on the platform. 70% HLE.

57:42.860 --> 57:43.860
I did not expect that.

57:43.860 --> 57:44.860
I suspect that.

57:44.860 --> 57:45.860
Yeah.

57:45.860 --> 57:49.060
CK fans may be more voting on the platform than the LPL fans, who knows.

57:49.060 --> 57:50.060
But still.

57:50.060 --> 57:51.060
But still.

57:51.060 --> 57:52.060
Representative?

57:52.060 --> 57:53.060
70-30?

57:53.060 --> 57:54.060
No, I don't think so.

57:54.060 --> 57:55.060
I think it's, personally, I see this a lot closer.

57:55.060 --> 57:58.380
Well, let's head into our predictions then, maybe right after this, as we do think that

57:58.380 --> 58:00.740
this is a little bit egregious.

58:00.740 --> 58:04.500
I can kick us off if you want to, I think HLE is going to take this, and I think they're

58:04.500 --> 58:06.660
going to take it quite convincingly with the 3-1.

58:06.660 --> 58:11.460
I think the classic strong points of BLG are going to be strong, but HLE just has the

58:11.460 --> 58:13.380
best points against them.

58:13.380 --> 58:19.540
Hey, I see 75, 35, or 75, 25 in these predictions actually, so the fan prediction was somewhat on point.

58:19.540 --> 58:26.500
For the BLG argument, Nymeria's point about Knight and Bin is a bit of the difference.

58:26.500 --> 58:31.460
I think they have a slight edge on HLE in this, and if you just look at who's looked better,

58:31.460 --> 58:34.740
HLE's looked better, but I think it's because their opponents have been marginally worse.

58:34.740 --> 58:41.860
So I'm gonna go with the first-stand champions, current Golden Road possibility, BLG team.

58:41.860 --> 58:43.860
They played lie and empty one.

58:43.860 --> 58:46.860
Um, and you have lost the G3.

58:46.860 --> 58:48.860
Are you on your own?

58:48.860 --> 58:49.860
Gotcha.

58:49.860 --> 58:54.860
I mean, um, I was just going to say the way I see it is my prediction is base.

58:54.860 --> 58:59.860
Not on what these teams are capable of, but how they performed at this tournament.

58:59.860 --> 59:00.860
Right.

59:00.860 --> 59:03.860
So I think if you're talking about both of these teams, their skill ceilings are like

59:03.860 --> 59:04.860
way up there.

59:04.860 --> 59:08.860
Like these each of these teams could be the best team in the world.

59:08.860 --> 59:12.380
However, right now, there's skill floors that I think they've shown at this tournament.

59:12.380 --> 59:17.740
HLE is about here and BLG is here, so BLG is going to have to play a lot better,

59:17.740 --> 59:21.100
in my opinion, when they play against Lyon to be able to take on HLE.

59:21.100 --> 59:24.860
I mean, I can easily see a world in which BLG's soul laners went out,

59:24.860 --> 59:28.140
but I think that HLE is the more complete team as a whole.

59:28.140 --> 59:31.340
And I think as a result, they will make the difference in the soul lanes.

59:31.340 --> 59:33.500
It's not going to be a 1v1 that decides the game.

59:33.500 --> 59:35.980
It's going to be the 5v5s. It's going to be the skirmishes.

59:35.980 --> 59:37.740
And I think we are in for such a treat.

59:37.740 --> 59:43.420
We are about to watch the number one team from the LCK versus the number one team from the LPL.

59:43.420 --> 59:46.700
The pinnacle of League of Legends as it is today.

59:46.700 --> 59:50.860
Absolutely. We should be in for the best best of five we've seen so far at MSI.

59:50.860 --> 59:55.020
And that's saying something with the quality of the games and with the incredible back and forth

59:55.020 --> 01:00:03.100
about for the ages HLE versus BLG for regional pride at a spot at the grand final of MSI 2026.

01:00:05.980 --> 01:00:15.980
The second round of the match, with a total of 2 people fighting, is over.

01:00:15.980 --> 01:00:23.980
The first match is over.

01:00:23.980 --> 01:00:30.980
The second match is over.

01:00:30.980 --> 01:00:36.980
The top laner of the best team is definitely the top laner of the best team, but the winner is only one.

01:00:37.980 --> 01:00:46.980
The Super Team, which has been created to conquer each region of the world, is about to conquer the global stage.

01:00:46.980 --> 01:00:54.980
One of the best top laners in the history of LCK, Zeus, and one of the best top laners in the LPL, Bin.

01:01:24.980 --> 01:01:53.980
It is PLG finding the fight.

01:01:53.980 --> 01:01:55.980
The end for nothing!

01:02:04.500 --> 01:02:06.500
Yes, an A. Spray shall be...

01:02:23.980 --> 01:02:30.980
I'm going to put my life in a tight spot and then go to the final.

01:02:53.980 --> 01:03:01.680
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen to MSI 2026.

01:03:01.680 --> 01:03:08.500
We have four regions, four first seed, and two of them are doing battle here today.

01:03:08.500 --> 01:03:13.780
First seed from the LCK versus first seed from the LPL, the Golden Road on the table

01:03:13.780 --> 01:03:14.780
here for BLG.

01:03:14.780 --> 01:03:19.660
They can lose a cheeky one like they did to WE here, they like to, and then they can

01:03:19.660 --> 01:03:20.660
have another one.

01:03:20.660 --> 01:03:24.100
This is all just to get the feelers out to see which team is better today.

01:03:24.100 --> 01:03:25.600
Yeah, we have do-overs.

01:03:25.600 --> 01:03:26.600
We do!

01:03:26.600 --> 01:03:27.600
The beauty of the upper bracket.

01:03:27.600 --> 01:03:30.600
What a lovely entire time to be alive.

01:03:30.600 --> 01:03:36.760
But, I'm Atlas, I'm joined by Kobe and Dagger here to bring you into this one as HLE make

01:03:36.760 --> 01:03:38.920
their way to their computers.

01:03:38.920 --> 01:03:41.400
I think this is set to be an absolute banger.

01:03:41.400 --> 01:03:48.320
So much history between the teams, the players, the regions, everything coming to a culmination

01:03:48.320 --> 01:03:49.320
now.

01:03:49.320 --> 01:03:54.040
you get another fighting chance, but I think both these teams want to stop their mark today.

01:03:55.080 --> 01:04:01.880
They definitely do. Every single matchup is an absolute banger here across the rift,

01:04:01.880 --> 01:04:05.880
and we'll have to see what the draft priorities are because as you say, Atlas,

01:04:05.880 --> 01:04:11.080
this is the upper bracket finals. So even if you lose, and of course, then you're going to have

01:04:11.080 --> 01:04:16.040
to challenge either Europe or North America, but you could earn yourself a rematch.

01:04:16.040 --> 01:04:21.080
And the problem is, I think showing things in this tournament is so much more meaningful.

01:04:21.080 --> 01:04:25.240
We saw already the information advantage that a lot of teams have taken advantage of

01:04:25.240 --> 01:04:32.840
in order to get victories and the information disadvantage when those things are out in the open.

01:04:33.320 --> 01:04:40.040
For example, Jitsu and the Seraphim, things like this that have come through the forefront.

01:04:40.040 --> 01:04:44.680
So I'm very much looking forward to seeing who's going to be able to pick up a victory here today

01:04:44.680 --> 01:04:48.360
and can then keep things close to the chest,

01:04:48.360 --> 01:04:50.520
moving towards the final.

01:04:50.520 --> 01:04:52.960
Yeah, I mean, especially for HLE,

01:04:52.960 --> 01:04:56.600
they have not had to show much at all at this tournament.

01:04:56.600 --> 01:04:59.480
I mean, they're on the 6-0,

01:04:59.480 --> 01:05:00.960
dealt with their series very quickly.

01:05:00.960 --> 01:05:02.120
Minimum game!

01:05:02.120 --> 01:05:04.520
They dealt with their series so quickly, Rob.

01:05:04.520 --> 01:05:07.280
And even time-wise, a lot of the games are very quick for them, too,

01:05:07.280 --> 01:05:09.200
so really not showing too much.

01:05:09.200 --> 01:05:10.640
Whereas in the opposite side for BLG,

01:05:10.640 --> 01:05:12.760
we've seen some creativity and some craftiness

01:05:12.760 --> 01:05:13.680
coming out from them,

01:05:13.680 --> 01:05:17.040
like the bell cars in the bottom lane, the swain mid for night.

01:05:17.040 --> 01:05:21.600
Like it feels like these drafts still have a lot to show on either side.

01:05:21.600 --> 01:05:24.480
And I'm just curious how deep does that pool go?

01:05:24.480 --> 01:05:27.360
Yeah, especially for those mages that you mentioned.

01:05:27.360 --> 01:05:29.360
Yeah. I mean, spying at the solo queue.

01:05:29.360 --> 01:05:33.040
I'm seeing some Cintra bottom, some Xerath bottom.

01:05:33.040 --> 01:05:34.640
There's definitely some people to go to.

01:05:34.640 --> 01:05:36.960
I mean, this is like, but he played Teemo on purpose.

01:05:36.960 --> 01:05:39.280
Like, this is the thing that he has done in the past.

01:05:39.280 --> 01:05:42.320
But here we are into champion select,

01:05:42.320 --> 01:05:46.920
by HyperX and the Vi is already taken away. Certainly a big one for both Shun and

01:05:46.920 --> 01:05:51.360
Kanavi, man. This matchup is so weird. I feel like we're in the LPL. The Bard

01:05:51.360 --> 01:05:54.480
gonna be taken away there alongside the Poppy as well. The Poppy's kind of

01:05:54.480 --> 01:05:57.960
curious. One of the picks that Shun hasn't found a victory on just yet, but

01:05:57.960 --> 01:06:02.600
can really shut down a lot of strategies and HLAA are a team that like to go

01:06:02.600 --> 01:06:06.320
forward quite quickly. And Poppy can certainly disrupt that.

01:06:06.320 --> 01:06:09.840
Definitely. And along those lines with the Bard too, as far as affecting the

01:06:09.840 --> 01:06:16.340
side lanes, Nocturne is another high-priority jungle champion that has had a huge influence

01:06:16.340 --> 01:06:20.020
on some of these team comps, especially when we have solo laners that are this powerful.

01:06:20.020 --> 01:06:23.100
Yeah, and especially if you want to try and get the support to work with something like

01:06:23.100 --> 01:06:26.980
a Nocturne, the bar being gone is kind of the answer we've seen to the Camille in a lot

01:06:26.980 --> 01:06:32.140
of situations as well. So, maybe HLE trying to fish for that Camille pick themselves alongside

01:06:32.140 --> 01:06:35.140
something like the Ziggs, he'll be able to actually ban it themselves.

01:06:35.140 --> 01:06:39.300
Damn, so on getting a whole lot of focus here in Piri, the Poppy could be going into that

01:06:39.300 --> 01:06:44.980
support position as well. Wanting to limit On's ability to get around the map. And Dagger,

01:06:44.980 --> 01:06:48.620
you were talking to me about this earlier on today, the difference between Delight and

01:06:48.620 --> 01:06:51.860
On's play styles. I think HLAA have been reading into that one as well.

01:06:51.860 --> 01:06:55.700
Yeah, because I think a lot of people were expecting with HLAA coming into this that

01:06:55.700 --> 01:06:59.420
Delight would be unlocked. It's gone towards that engage better again. He's going to be

01:06:59.420 --> 01:07:03.660
really strong, but he's very good when it comes to a team fight where it's On, who is

01:07:03.660 --> 01:07:09.140
very active on the map, loves picks like the Shen and the Camille. And with that now limited,

01:07:09.140 --> 01:07:12.600
He's going to be answered because the theory first pick was not on my bingo card. Yeah

01:07:12.600 --> 01:07:17.080
And the theory is something that both these junglers have been able to use really effectively for invades

01:07:17.280 --> 01:07:21.780
You know both of them had a decent amount of success, and it makes you think

01:07:22.280 --> 01:07:27.320
Hmm, are we then gonna get those supports that are still gonna roam around and follow with that jungler because the theory

01:07:27.480 --> 01:07:32.040
Loves having a support that's gonna bring CC with them on those roads

01:07:32.040 --> 01:07:35.740
And the theory is the only champion that should has played both series as well

01:07:35.740 --> 01:07:37.740
So getting rid of I guess

01:07:37.740 --> 01:07:41.740
Theoretically his most gone-through option there as well could be an interesting one

01:07:41.740 --> 01:07:47.240
But the Casio for Knight is a huge pick up especially since this was his bread and butter when he started a career

01:07:47.240 --> 01:07:52.260
Was a Casio be a one trick now bring it it out at MSI as well as the meta shift to that direction

01:07:52.260 --> 01:07:54.480
Plus you set up an option for the nocturne

01:07:54.480 --> 01:07:58.640
I think that's probably what the nefiri was we see nefiri is an answer to the nocturne in a lot of situations

01:07:58.640 --> 01:08:02.220
So maybe try to limit that pull so should instead we'll go over towards the jar

01:08:02.220 --> 01:08:07.620
with rumble still on the table as well they they could do double AP solo laners

01:08:07.620 --> 01:08:14.060
and try and build off that cataclysm. But the other side here I mean Ziggs and

01:08:14.060 --> 01:08:18.660
Ezreal are the two most picked bottom laners of this tournament because safety

01:08:18.660 --> 01:08:22.940
for your bottom laners and being able to leave them alone is such a high

01:08:22.940 --> 01:08:28.100
priority. Not to mention Gumiishi is never gonna pick Ezreal so obviously the

01:08:28.100 --> 01:08:33.900
Ziggs is going to be the choice here as a blind gnaw with two bands to protect it here from bin

01:08:33.900 --> 01:08:36.340
But man this top side of the map is absolutely

01:08:36.980 --> 01:08:42.240
Terrifying H. You're legally gonna have to find some counterpicks after those two pants two bands have come in

01:08:42.240 --> 01:08:46.540
I do like the strategy for BLG when the enemy team picks no solo laners

01:08:46.540 --> 01:08:50.480
You just slam both of them you get your protection bands and you know

01:08:50.480 --> 01:08:53.680
They're not gonna be able to counter both of them. They have to kind of choose here

01:08:53.680 --> 01:08:58.700
So we did end up getting that rel by the way, which is a good roaming partner for the

01:08:59.320 --> 01:09:03.920
You know nefiri here as well. So it's gonna be interesting as far as the push on the bottom

01:09:03.920 --> 01:09:08.320
I also shut down some of the things you've seen from our on like the shed right the shadow striker

01:09:08.320 --> 01:09:11.000
And to lose them the shield is gonna be excellent against the picks

01:09:11.000 --> 01:09:18.200
So I do think the HLE have come in with a very clear game plan of trying to shut down down in this trap and setting

01:09:18.200 --> 01:09:20.640
Themselves up to enable delight on his playstyle

01:09:20.640 --> 01:09:24.960
And I still think that there is definitely some options for some majors for Viper here as well.

01:09:24.960 --> 01:09:31.120
Cassiopeia, even though she does magic damage, very consistent damage out of this champion against shorter range picks.

01:09:31.120 --> 01:09:37.280
Not necessarily the Ziggs, but you can still make things work, especially with Ana on your squad as well.

01:09:37.280 --> 01:09:41.040
It's also, we have seen the Cassiopeia swap to bot lane into Ziggs.

01:09:41.040 --> 01:09:44.640
I haven't liked this, but we have seen it as well.

01:09:44.640 --> 01:09:48.160
That's true. In theory, Ana could be the AD carry.

01:09:48.160 --> 01:09:53.160
If we're playing that game, I'm looking forward to the Jarvan support coming out again.

01:09:53.160 --> 01:09:56.160
It's been a while, I remember when Spirit played that back in the day.

01:09:56.160 --> 01:10:00.160
He was playing support, I know Spirit was a jungle a bit, things got weird.

01:10:00.160 --> 01:10:04.160
Mesa going to be taken away from Zayac here, definitely one of his favorite picks alongside that lane,

01:10:04.160 --> 01:10:09.160
protecting the Nara as best they can as the Lucian going to be taken away from Viper as well,

01:10:09.160 --> 01:10:12.160
pushing him even closer towards some of these mage pickups.

01:10:12.160 --> 01:10:16.680
So, yeah, are we just gonna have another mage into the zigz?

01:10:16.680 --> 01:10:22.000
Because zigz does everything that you want from this style, you know, from the bottom lane,

01:10:22.000 --> 01:10:24.920
but Viper has been practicing so many different angles.

01:10:24.920 --> 01:10:29.640
Yeah, I'm not really sure, because could end up going towards like some of the, like a virus

01:10:29.640 --> 01:10:33.680
if you want to just try and push out the lanes with a poke style, or if you do want to try

01:10:33.680 --> 01:10:36.800
and match these mages in the bottom lane, it doesn't mean a lot of your damage is quite

01:10:36.800 --> 01:10:41.280
AP focused though, which isn't ideal for BLG, but there we go, he talks with the Shen.

01:10:41.280 --> 01:10:43.980
Honestly, I think the rail decent into it. Thanks to a sherry strike

01:10:44.080 --> 01:10:47.720
But on still valuing that pick for that level six mobility around the map

01:10:47.720 --> 01:10:49.120
Yeah, I've been able to help out on place

01:10:49.120 --> 01:10:54.480
I think it's more just about on's playstyle right utilizing the chance something that he will be able to exhibit incredibly

01:10:54.880 --> 01:10:58.880
Effectively, that's an echo. Oh, but crazy happening here in this series

01:10:59.760 --> 01:11:02.640
Just pays live on because there was a lot of talk of the effort

01:11:03.720 --> 01:11:05.720
Existing but may not be the case here

01:11:05.720 --> 01:11:10.720
Imagine if they picked Enivia, Yone, and then you had no idea where they're going.

01:11:10.720 --> 01:11:15.720
The Rumble though is going to be a little bit more clear cut, but there is the Yone we were talking about!

01:11:15.720 --> 01:11:19.720
Into the hands of Zaka here, jumping straight on to comfort.

01:11:19.720 --> 01:11:25.720
I mean, yeah, he has played so many of his iconic champions at this tournament already, slamming them all.

01:11:25.720 --> 01:11:26.720
Speaking of which...

01:11:26.720 --> 01:11:28.720
He ain't gonna be playing that one though, it's 9-kick!

01:11:28.720 --> 01:11:29.720
Wait, wait, wait, wait!

01:11:29.720 --> 01:11:30.720
The Cassiopeia!

01:11:30.720 --> 01:11:31.720
It's the Cassiopeia!

01:11:31.720 --> 01:11:34.920
Cassiopeia, but that's what I thought it was good,

01:11:34.920 --> 01:11:38.560
but maybe it will be today as Knight is gonna be fighting

01:11:38.560 --> 01:11:41.640
Fyre with Fyre as the Akali was locked in.

01:11:41.640 --> 01:11:44.760
I got excited before I realized what was happening.

01:11:44.760 --> 01:11:46.160
But it sets up nicely, right?

01:11:46.160 --> 01:11:47.840
Like in here, you've seen the Cassiopeia

01:11:47.840 --> 01:11:50.320
does get pushed in, but the influx of gold

01:11:50.320 --> 01:11:52.880
to this champion makes her devastated

01:11:52.880 --> 01:11:54.200
in those later team fights.

01:11:54.200 --> 01:11:56.400
And especially when you've got some of the support there

01:11:56.400 --> 01:11:59.160
with the Shen to try and give you that shield

01:11:59.160 --> 01:12:01.560
on the ultimate, super nice for the Cassiopeia.

01:12:01.560 --> 01:12:04.480
Also, now, because of the roll quest,

01:12:04.480 --> 01:12:06.760
Cassiope, even though she has to buy boots now,

01:12:06.760 --> 01:12:08.480
she gets her extra items back!

01:12:08.480 --> 01:12:09.320
Yeah, exactly!

01:12:09.320 --> 01:12:10.160
There you go!

01:12:10.160 --> 01:12:12.080
She gets to hide the boots, which is,

01:12:12.080 --> 01:12:15.360
I think, more thematically correct, to be perfectly honest.

01:12:15.360 --> 01:12:17.840
I do think that that bottom lane's gonna be very weird, though,

01:12:17.840 --> 01:12:19.840
because I don't know how Cassiope is ever supposed

01:12:19.840 --> 01:12:22.160
to hit six with a button ever,

01:12:22.160 --> 01:12:25.200
because she spits things from a little bit too close to range.

01:12:25.200 --> 01:12:26.760
So that might be a little bit of a difficulty,

01:12:26.760 --> 01:12:29.440
but I assume, Koumura and Viper are just gonna be

01:12:29.440 --> 01:12:30.280
catching waves.

01:12:30.280 --> 01:12:31.960
Like that's just how these two teams play.

01:12:31.960 --> 01:12:34.240
And you have to be worried about the long chase down

01:12:34.240 --> 01:12:37.600
in that lane, because Casio triggers machine gun fire,

01:12:37.600 --> 01:12:38.520
chase you down.

01:12:38.520 --> 01:12:40.640
If she gets the poison on, especially

01:12:40.640 --> 01:12:42.920
if it's in the right spot, that satchel will not work.

01:12:42.920 --> 01:12:46.160
Especially if it's double melee support snow going at it.

01:12:46.160 --> 01:12:48.320
And you know on is going to throw hands, right?

01:12:48.320 --> 01:12:51.640
But on picks Shen support, he throws hands.

01:12:51.640 --> 01:12:54.200
And so maybe they look for the chase down kill,

01:12:54.200 --> 01:12:56.240
whereas it's the fit more cooldown reliant.

01:12:56.240 --> 01:12:59.120
It's also on who looks to get them up level two on the Shen.

01:12:59.120 --> 01:13:02.720
So we'll have to see if he can have an impact to the mid-lanning of two of these melee champions,

01:13:02.720 --> 01:13:06.120
but we're already on to Summoner's Rift for this best of play.

01:13:07.420 --> 01:13:14.620
Alright, we get the Jio's versus the, uh, the Hanadru sets, which I think is very, very cool.

01:13:17.820 --> 01:13:21.120
And we have a packed house today, ladies and gentlemen, to this up-bracket final.

01:13:21.120 --> 01:13:25.820
Already, the fighting has begun. Delight gonna have to crash his way out of there.

01:13:25.820 --> 01:13:31.540
Sviper still sinking the fangs in. There's the conqueror. Heal has to be popped here by Delight.

01:13:31.540 --> 01:13:35.620
Yeah, that's that chase down. He popped the ghost immediately there to get the health trade.

01:13:36.180 --> 01:13:40.860
So Viper getting a decent amount of damage, but he used a lot of mana in doing that at level one as well.

01:13:41.460 --> 01:13:47.940
Gumiishi will have, I guess, some of the spell advantage, but not really because it's teleport. As now on looking for a bit of an angle once again.

01:13:48.420 --> 01:13:55.100
Playing very aggressively here. Misses the torp, misses the crash down on the other side. Good footwork here by these AP carries.

01:13:55.100 --> 01:14:00.740
Gumiishi doesn't get the bouncing bomb just goes straight over the head of the Shen and in the end pretty even trade

01:14:00.740 --> 01:14:06.520
Yeah, I mean the fact that you manage to dodge away from that Shen top though and still take the worst for where trade isn't

01:14:06.660 --> 01:14:12.460
Exactly what you want and Sean already invading onto this bottom side means he has an opportunity to try and look for a play in the bottom lane

01:14:12.460 --> 01:14:18.160
But that Ward and try brush will probably spot him as just as he tries to move in yeah the double Ward here

01:14:18.160 --> 01:14:20.480
And they're gonna push into the tower as well

01:14:20.480 --> 01:14:25.900
I also just love over analyzing the early movements on skillshot dodges, you know

01:14:25.940 --> 01:14:32.020
You're always trying to get in the head of your opponent and Guma on his first dodge moves forward in the aggressive dodge

01:14:32.020 --> 01:14:32.940
but

01:14:32.940 --> 01:14:39.340
Not gonna reveal himself at the moment over these wards that they did place and so it's just gonna go for the recall here

01:14:39.340 --> 01:14:46.080
So that means that nefiri is gonna walk over the extra vision and they're going to go try and counter

01:14:46.080 --> 01:14:50.820
Yeah, some pings out so they know exactly where he is. You can see pings all over the place here by BLG

01:14:51.120 --> 01:14:54.960
This must talk about these level two roams that on consistently does on the shen

01:14:54.960 --> 01:14:56.460
Just trying to cover the jungle though

01:14:56.460 --> 01:15:00.780
It looks like because they weren't sure where the Jarvis gonna be a word died on the blue buff on top side

01:15:00.780 --> 01:15:01.800
But no mid lane yeah

01:15:01.800 --> 01:15:05.700
In goes Kenavi looks for the angle and they thought that he'd already gone into the jungle instead

01:15:05.700 --> 01:15:10.880
He just pokes his head in looks to try and get some damage on tonight is able to do so but Zeca already had a health disadvantage

01:15:11.120 --> 01:15:13.740
It's not gonna be the end of the world for the mid laner of BLG

01:15:13.740 --> 01:15:18.900
That's why it's so important these words that you leave behind in the jungle and going for those this might be though

01:15:18.900 --> 01:15:24.380
But the snapback does have to come through here for Zekker what goes out must come back and can I be on the blue buff here

01:15:24.380 --> 01:15:26.380
Shouldn't have even got the on vision right now

01:15:26.940 --> 01:15:32.020
That's the war down there is the blue taken by Kenavi and now he looks to try and turn this fight

01:15:32.460 --> 01:15:36.300
In comes on looking for the angle but Zayas is going to get hit first like you were saying nice moving over

01:15:36.540 --> 01:15:40.780
Blast cone is there he gets himself into the battle but Zayas has the flame spit around the flash

01:15:40.780 --> 01:15:46.220
I'm moving the jump back from Kanabi the flash towards to come in on first blood over tonight

01:15:46.220 --> 01:15:48.000
Shun gets out of there

01:15:48.000 --> 01:15:52.940
Zayas is overheating on is still trying to fight as bin makes his way in the hop-com

01:15:52.940 --> 01:15:59.020
Servant Delight is looking to try and keep them away from his teammate still he's going to go down to nothing for BLG

01:15:59.020 --> 01:16:04.580
BLG strike first in the series with the invade covered with

01:16:04.580 --> 01:16:08.500
with all of Maas, four members from every team showing up.

01:16:08.500 --> 01:16:09.900
Even with Rumble heading first,

01:16:09.900 --> 01:16:11.700
Knight also collapses from mid lane

01:16:11.700 --> 01:16:13.220
and he gets in there first.

01:16:13.220 --> 01:16:15.020
They get the first blood.

01:16:15.020 --> 01:16:15.960
Let's take a look at it

01:16:15.960 --> 01:16:17.540
because they're trying to trap them to Fury.

01:16:17.540 --> 01:16:19.620
And even though Shen does not have his smite,

01:16:19.620 --> 01:16:21.780
he immediately goes for the attack here.

01:16:21.780 --> 01:16:23.900
EQ's in, gets his passive auto,

01:16:23.900 --> 01:16:25.720
so nice little bit of damage to start it out.

01:16:25.720 --> 01:16:27.340
And then here come the roams.

01:16:27.340 --> 01:16:29.580
On and Knight are gonna get there first.

01:16:29.580 --> 01:16:31.260
Zave's flash is trying to get there,

01:16:31.260 --> 01:16:33.540
but Shen immediately evades into the wolf pit.

01:16:33.540 --> 01:16:39.540
And it's a blast coming the positions on to actually keep Zekka at bay, the flash with the time to come in, the heal to keep people topped up as well.

01:16:39.540 --> 01:16:43.540
Shun flagging dragging over the wall using that mobility.

01:16:43.540 --> 01:16:50.540
And with the three-man boomerang off the back of this from Bin, it's through Light who has to give his life so the rest can escape.

01:16:50.540 --> 01:16:55.540
Really good, a basic maneuvers by Shun. The flash, the avoidance over the wall with the EQ as well.

01:16:55.540 --> 01:16:57.540
And the early collapse.

01:16:57.540 --> 01:17:03.540
This meta, so many teams have said is jungle led, and we're back into the jungle scraps.

01:17:03.540 --> 01:17:11.540
Yep, Delight makes his way back from the death chamber immediately into another battle here, but not too much is going to come of it, unless On has anything to say about it.

01:17:11.540 --> 01:17:23.540
Not certain what happened to the bot lane, but both flashes burnt on Viper and Goomayushi, so there was some action that happened in that bottom side as well, which is why BLG, now sitting in the tri-brush, considering going for Goomayushi, but this is his comfort zone.

01:17:23.540 --> 01:17:24.540
Yeah.

01:17:24.540 --> 01:17:25.540
He just lives under his turret.

01:17:25.540 --> 01:17:30.540
Exactly, any teleported back so obviously lost a bit of a health trade there after the flash as well

01:17:30.540 --> 01:17:35.540
Gets back to lane, but now the Ghost is up for Viper so I don't think this 1v1 is going to necessarily work

01:17:35.540 --> 01:17:39.540
Yeah, you can see though on the side of your screens, this is BLG trying to see if they can move themselves to finals

01:17:39.540 --> 01:17:46.540
And start that Golden Road out strong because it was kind of the last time we saw this potential for Golden Road was 2023 JDG

01:17:46.540 --> 01:17:51.540
Where it was nice and Kanavi working together to make that happen, but it was the same as...

01:17:51.540 --> 01:17:55.820
Beautiful Tony is going to come through that shirking backflip comes down second so close to dead

01:17:55.820 --> 01:18:03.440
But he's gonna be able to make it out and holds the flash and so critical to be able to keep this pathway

01:18:03.540 --> 01:18:09.700
From mid to bottom clear a vision because you know on wants to make many more visits

01:18:10.220 --> 01:18:14.140
Over towards that lane of course the light trying to keep up as well

01:18:14.140 --> 01:18:18.820
But BLG with the early moves the early priority here in addition to that thousand gold leaf

01:18:18.820 --> 01:18:23.420
They're going to be able to stack up the dragon and can Cannabi even do anything in the meantime

01:18:23.420 --> 01:18:25.340
You so you see I'm kind of hovering around mid

01:18:25.340 --> 01:18:29.880
But they are so low from Zeka right there that he doesn't have options in the theory

01:18:29.880 --> 01:18:32.900
It's just losing time losing efficiency here

01:18:33.060 --> 01:18:38.260
He wants to try and go in towards mid lane but Knight not really given that opportunity even with delight there

01:18:38.260 --> 01:18:43.500
So they back away. He's not just going back in towards his top side. It's dragon taken you've got been under tower

01:18:43.500 --> 01:18:50.280
Bogey are controlling this early game so well at the highest level jungle is just the role that you can just snowball so

01:18:50.640 --> 01:18:56.980
Effectively early on in the game these incremental advantages single camps can really mean the difference and when you have an explosive

01:18:57.380 --> 01:18:59.380
Invade like that that involved eight people

01:18:59.700 --> 01:19:04.840
They're gonna be huge ramifications and shouldn't will be set up for success the light here though

01:19:04.840 --> 01:19:09.680
Trying to get something back on the top side as shouldn't is in his re-clear at the moment on gromp

01:19:09.680 --> 01:19:13.160
and the light kind of spying but pops out of the brush can I be trying to move

01:19:13.160 --> 01:19:16.640
over though just finished his croaks trying to recruit second even moving

01:19:16.640 --> 01:19:20.480
across maybe it's just a okay just a vision play I wasn't sure if they wanted

01:19:20.480 --> 01:19:24.000
to try and make a plate towards the wolves there but unfortunately for HLE

01:19:24.000 --> 01:19:28.400
it amounts to nothing for them with all the moves as is going so well for BLG

01:19:28.400 --> 01:19:33.040
remaining incredibly efficient with their moves right into the next clear and

01:19:33.040 --> 01:19:37.760
look at on already gonna move in to get bot side vision for his team thank you

01:19:37.760 --> 01:19:39.560
for the toggle observers.

01:19:39.560 --> 01:19:42.240
Shun's level six now, so he can go back up on as well.

01:19:42.240 --> 01:19:44.360
They can go for the aggressive play.

01:19:44.360 --> 01:19:46.520
They've got Knight, post-level six,

01:19:46.520 --> 01:19:48.200
with his Darkseal ready.

01:19:48.200 --> 01:19:49.400
Oh, yeah.

01:19:49.400 --> 01:19:52.440
And Delight just, it feels like on is always there,

01:19:52.440 --> 01:19:54.120
ready to come out of that banana brush

01:19:54.120 --> 01:19:55.400
as they're looking for this.

01:19:55.400 --> 01:19:58.200
Blue buff as well, can obviously go into fight for it

01:19:58.200 --> 01:19:59.360
as they dive over Shatter.

01:19:59.360 --> 01:20:00.760
Strength is gonna connect on to on,

01:20:00.760 --> 01:20:02.240
but Shun is gonna secure.

01:20:02.240 --> 01:20:04.160
That blue buff, there's a taunt flash!

01:20:04.160 --> 01:20:05.800
Oh, Fypher fights a Pitchify,

01:20:05.800 --> 01:20:07.560
and Gaze immediately cuts down!

01:20:07.560 --> 01:20:14.460
And BLG moves to 4-0! It's insane! The synergy here! They instantly engage!

01:20:14.460 --> 01:20:20.000
Awn doesn't miss a beat. Shun takes the blue buff, then Awn goes for the top flash right here

01:20:20.000 --> 01:20:25.120
to be able to follow up with a miasma. Viper already ghosting over to beat in position.

01:20:25.120 --> 01:20:29.580
That BLG are hitting the ground running here.

01:20:29.580 --> 01:20:32.380
But it did a different style from what we saw from them domestically.

01:20:32.380 --> 01:20:35.380
It was Shun playing for lanes when they won the LPL.

01:20:35.380 --> 01:20:41.140
Now at MSI, it's BLG running around this jargon, playing for these invades.

01:20:41.140 --> 01:20:44.260
And BLG are looking slick off the back of this.

01:20:44.260 --> 01:20:47.060
Yeah, and winning the jungle is a team event.

01:20:47.060 --> 01:20:49.780
And that's exactly what BLG are making happen here.

01:20:49.780 --> 01:20:55.620
Honda seems to always be there, ready to poke his nose in, make things frustrating.

01:20:55.620 --> 01:20:58.260
And as BLG looking to come over and grab these grubs,

01:20:58.260 --> 01:21:00.820
Kanavi in the area to light up here towards this topside as well.

01:21:00.820 --> 01:21:02.020
Looks like HLE.

01:21:02.020 --> 01:21:02.980
Do you want to go for a fight?

01:21:02.980 --> 01:21:04.580
They're down 2,000 gold though.

01:21:05.380 --> 01:21:07.220
The first grub is going to fall.

01:21:07.220 --> 01:21:08.660
Gumiushi gets the minefield down,

01:21:08.660 --> 01:21:11.260
but I don't think they're going to be able to do anything about this.

01:21:11.260 --> 01:21:12.260
The first couple of grubs go,

01:21:12.260 --> 01:21:15.340
and there is the third BLG going to be able to pick this up without a fight.

01:21:15.340 --> 01:21:16.700
They're not excited to move up mid,

01:21:16.700 --> 01:21:18.540
so BLG were ready to fight all five,

01:21:18.540 --> 01:21:20.820
but instead, it's this fight that really earned us,

01:21:20.820 --> 01:21:23.820
because you can see here on is incredibly patient with the taunt.

01:21:23.820 --> 01:21:25.940
Kind of playing this gimme game with Kanaki,

01:21:25.940 --> 01:21:28.900
but instead turns on towards Gumiushi,

01:21:28.900 --> 01:21:33.340
and it's a miasma, it's a petrifying gaze, it's the cataclysm,

01:21:33.340 --> 01:21:36.660
It's an all-out nuke for BLG.

01:21:36.660 --> 01:21:39.060
Yeah, Kuma literally 100 to 0 right there.

01:21:39.060 --> 01:21:41.380
You know, he got taunted into my asthma, as you say,

01:21:41.380 --> 01:21:44.060
into the ultimate as well from Viper.

01:21:44.060 --> 01:21:47.100
He didn't get to move, and he got slam dunked.

01:21:47.100 --> 01:21:49.900
Yeah, he was lucky to actually be able to press R

01:21:49.900 --> 01:21:51.660
in amongst all of that.

01:21:51.660 --> 01:21:54.660
Did manage to get the ult off, but it didn't do nearly enough

01:21:54.660 --> 01:21:56.300
to make any difference in that fight.

01:21:56.300 --> 01:21:58.700
And now, 1-0-1 on the Cassiopeia.

01:21:58.700 --> 01:22:00.500
HLE are looking to try and get an in-road here

01:22:00.500 --> 01:22:02.580
towards this top side of the map.

01:22:02.580 --> 01:22:04.980
But even Bin has completely evened out this matchup.

01:22:04.980 --> 01:22:08.140
It was something that Zayas was getting a little bit further ahead in,

01:22:08.140 --> 01:22:09.860
that's not to be the case anymore.

01:22:09.860 --> 01:22:14.300
I gotta say, if you poll a jungler who your favorite support is,

01:22:14.300 --> 01:22:16.180
I feel like 10 out of 10 gonna say on.

01:22:16.180 --> 01:22:19.380
This brother is a jungler's support,

01:22:19.380 --> 01:22:22.260
and now he's gonna look for bottom lane for Guma again.

01:22:22.260 --> 01:22:24.020
Well, he's actually gonna be supporting Viper here

01:22:24.020 --> 01:22:25.980
for what feels like the first time this game.

01:22:25.980 --> 01:22:30.660
There's another petrifying game, and man, is it scary!

01:22:30.660 --> 01:22:32.180
Is Orchid the goat, okay?

01:22:32.180 --> 01:22:35.460
I mean, this Shen support is insane.

01:22:35.460 --> 01:22:38.060
River Shen, it's a tower diving Shen.

01:22:38.060 --> 01:22:39.540
Can HLE answer?

01:22:39.540 --> 01:22:40.540
Shun here.

01:22:40.540 --> 01:22:41.700
Looking for a bit of an angle, Shun.

01:22:41.700 --> 01:22:42.700
Here for the defense.

01:22:42.700 --> 01:22:43.900
They do get the knockup on his hand.

01:22:43.900 --> 01:22:46.500
Everyone in the cataclysm, the equalizer goes down,

01:22:46.500 --> 01:22:48.100
though the Flames 2 to come through, they do.

01:22:48.100 --> 01:22:49.420
Knock down the Jarvan.

01:22:49.420 --> 01:22:51.940
Bin trying to find a target to crash down there

01:22:51.940 --> 01:22:53.220
to stop any sort of re-engage.

01:22:53.220 --> 01:22:56.260
But Bin gets the flash knock, finds the rail,

01:22:56.260 --> 01:22:58.820
as Kanabi needs to jump over this wall.

01:22:58.820 --> 01:22:59.660
He will do so.

01:22:59.660 --> 01:23:01.460
The house is not going to quite connect.

01:23:01.460 --> 01:23:02.820
and they go one for one.

01:23:02.820 --> 01:23:03.980
One for one?

01:23:03.980 --> 01:23:06.380
I mean, you still might get a lot of those minions

01:23:06.380 --> 01:23:08.820
under the tower as well, but Knight and On here,

01:23:08.820 --> 01:23:09.820
On's to level five.

01:23:09.820 --> 01:23:11.820
I don't think you can go for this, can you?

01:23:11.820 --> 01:23:14.580
Double with a five-point strike.

01:23:14.580 --> 01:23:16.020
He only needed two points.

01:23:16.020 --> 01:23:17.660
His nine will be able to take him down.

01:23:17.660 --> 01:23:18.780
It's now eight and one,

01:23:18.780 --> 01:23:21.140
and he's moved to three nothing in the mid lane.

01:23:21.140 --> 01:23:22.340
All right, that was nasty.

01:23:22.340 --> 01:23:23.180
Honestly.

01:23:23.180 --> 01:23:25.620
That was absolutely nasty.

01:23:25.620 --> 01:23:27.620
The instant double kill,

01:23:27.620 --> 01:23:29.820
and On just happened to take up the tower there.

01:23:29.820 --> 01:23:31.180
All right, that's my job.

01:23:31.180 --> 01:23:33.180
Yeah, I mean, doesn't get this... Oh, hang on.

01:23:33.180 --> 01:23:38.780
Yeah, he's teleported back in with a gunblade at the ready, throws it out just there, and the flash has to be used from Zeca.

01:23:38.780 --> 01:23:40.780
He's like, what the heck happened to that guy?

01:23:40.780 --> 01:23:45.480
He didn't even have the ultimate! That was just nice, kind of putting his foot down on our first item.

01:23:45.480 --> 01:23:49.780
You might be another kill on the board, but this was insane underneath the tower.

01:23:49.780 --> 01:23:53.980
Okay, so, BLG. They're trying to set up here to counter this dive.

01:23:53.980 --> 01:23:59.380
Shun is here and ready, and they started out going on today into the big cataclysm.

01:23:59.380 --> 01:24:02.580
And it's the light who's just barely had to get out a range of the turret there.

01:24:02.580 --> 01:24:07.880
But as Kanavi tries to set this one up, the jump away means he takes so much damage off the tower.

01:24:07.880 --> 01:24:13.780
Luckily having the invulnerability to dodge away from that flash, good reactions from the HLE jungler.

01:24:13.780 --> 01:24:18.980
But unfortunately for them, Knight was already on the move, and this play is sick.

01:24:18.980 --> 01:24:23.580
Yeah, it goes in with the flash to make sure there's no reaction.

01:24:23.580 --> 01:24:26.580
Flash ulted to Q for the double.

01:24:26.580 --> 01:24:30.740
Doesn't even, doesn't even subred, drop is not done, stop is not done.

01:24:30.740 --> 01:24:37.140
You know what the job is too, because Knight gave an interview just the other day with LPL English talking to Alk and he said,

01:24:37.140 --> 01:24:44.580
I'm here to prove that the LPL is going to be able to take down LCK and he did that tower dive at least.

01:24:45.540 --> 01:24:51.780
Well, still early days like you were saying, but it's a 3.8k gold lead and both of these compositions are very explosive.

01:24:51.780 --> 01:24:56.780
Viper going to give us a little bit of a taste of that as he says hello to his former support.

01:24:56.780 --> 01:24:59.580
Yeah, I do just think BLG has been playing so well off their lane stage.

01:24:59.580 --> 01:25:02.880
Like, shifting Viper made consistently to match when Knightroam's top,

01:25:02.880 --> 01:25:05.080
having Shun in position to cover some of these top plays.

01:25:05.080 --> 01:25:07.880
Like, they've been playing the map in these early stages so well,

01:25:07.880 --> 01:25:11.880
and obviously on helping out massively with that with just the presence he's had

01:25:11.880 --> 01:25:13.880
in keeping HLE in their own jungle.

01:25:13.880 --> 01:25:16.480
Shun wants a piece. He wants another blue buff here.

01:25:16.880 --> 01:25:20.680
Oh, Kenavi may not be out of play for this one, but he still gets knocked up!

01:25:20.680 --> 01:25:26.400
There's the taunted knight on a rampage, absolutely perfect execution.

01:25:26.400 --> 01:25:30.040
And BLG will be able to steal away the rest of the jungle.

01:25:30.040 --> 01:25:31.960
That was just a little bit of a bridge too far.

01:25:31.960 --> 01:25:35.040
It looks like an instruction video of how to play the game.

01:25:35.040 --> 01:25:39.200
Like, BLG are just so clean on every single one of them and look fed up.

01:25:39.200 --> 01:25:42.200
But now Zeke might be the next one.

01:25:42.200 --> 01:25:44.760
Yes, the soul may be unbound in more ways than one.

01:25:44.760 --> 01:25:46.640
However, he does go back.

01:25:46.640 --> 01:25:48.920
That turret is theirs for the taking though.

01:25:48.920 --> 01:25:55.300
Zas and then facing off underneath Zas's turret here towards his top side and HLE desperately need to be able to slow this game down

01:25:55.300 --> 01:26:01.700
I just don't know whether it's ever going to be possible with just the speed that BLG are playing with

01:26:01.700 --> 01:26:06.580
I mean this is BLG's comfort zone right the ability to very quickly get out of the map and start to play and now

01:26:06.740 --> 01:26:12.040
Even if you start to look for a side lane players HLE that becomes more difficult on his ticked over to level 6

01:26:12.040 --> 01:26:18.520
So he can make a play top still protect Viper on the bottom side and keep control of these side lanes so well for BLG

01:26:18.520 --> 01:26:24.920
Yeah, and it's night's comfort zone as you said B.O.G. They operate best when night is very bad that happens a lot

01:26:24.920 --> 01:26:31.980
Yeah, and it is true this game in addition to all of these kills and being the richest one in the map on the map

01:26:32.020 --> 01:26:34.020
Yeah, claim base gold grind letting us know

01:26:34.480 --> 01:26:42.280
2000 gold in advantage for the Sakali as on obviously is just always ready for a battle anywhere on the rift is gonna

01:26:42.280 --> 01:26:44.780
Take that mega cone into the baron pit

01:26:44.780 --> 01:26:50.620
And two drinks already on the board here for BLG looking for a chem tech soul here this game

01:26:50.620 --> 01:26:54.260
And one of the big discussions coming into this international tournament

01:26:54.260 --> 01:27:03.660
You know I love the different leagues comparing themselves against each other and all LPL talking about night is the greatest in the world right now and

01:27:04.140 --> 01:27:05.780
People said well

01:27:05.780 --> 01:27:09.380
Okay, but a lot of a lot of really good midlaners are playing the LCK

01:27:09.380 --> 01:27:16.120
So let's see how he does up against the LCK big laners and he hasn't missed the beat.

01:27:16.120 --> 01:27:21.220
It's not even like you can kind of say oh well you know Zeke is on a weird like this is Zeke down to the T right?

01:27:21.220 --> 01:27:26.800
Like his comfort zone and it's not been able to play outplay him on this Akali pick up some of these early kills.

01:27:26.800 --> 01:27:33.720
Like there's a reason this man was averaging seven kills on average coming in to this tournament and he wants to ask maybe another one.

01:27:33.720 --> 01:27:37.720
Yeah, this could be number five as the equalizer goes down from Zanzi. He doesn't have his teammates coming

01:27:37.720 --> 01:27:40.420
But they're not gonna be there soon enough the Magnus storm is going to come down

01:27:40.420 --> 01:27:44.640
But not get some self out of there can I be almost dies before he even gets in

01:27:44.640 --> 01:27:50.840
Is they do get the shut down but at what cost ladies and gentlemen been says everything?

01:27:51.160 --> 01:27:53.920
It is a massacre

01:27:54.760 --> 01:27:57.560
BLG delete a jelly from the map

01:27:58.120 --> 01:28:04.040
It does start around night and it ends down here as well dACDA and eats the immediate oath from on as well

01:28:04.040 --> 01:28:07.100
They know that there's going to be a huge amount of pressure down in this bottom lane.

01:28:07.100 --> 01:28:09.080
Zayac gets the kill on TP Zayac.

01:28:09.080 --> 01:28:11.880
Shun is here to support, but Naito buys for so long.

01:28:11.880 --> 01:28:14.040
Because even though you get the immediate crash down,

01:28:14.040 --> 01:28:15.800
Kanabi tries to get the ulti.

01:28:15.800 --> 01:28:18.800
Naito never steps away from the sweet spot of the ult from Fumayushi.

01:28:18.800 --> 01:28:20.800
And this is when the cavalry arrives.

01:28:21.560 --> 01:28:23.800
The name of the game is Team Play.

01:28:23.800 --> 01:28:26.480
BLG have been so cohesive.

01:28:26.480 --> 01:28:30.400
From the very first play of the game, going for the invade,

01:28:30.400 --> 01:28:33.080
Shun steals away their bottom side of the map.

01:28:33.080 --> 01:28:39.840
Then on the response, BLG defend better, on and night with that early collapse, and since then, every player has been BLG.

01:28:39.840 --> 01:28:43.480
Yep, the Mazma just stopping Delight from being able to press any button at all.

01:28:43.480 --> 01:28:49.080
Really? He does have Ghost, but that's not gonna help him here, as he is likely to go down, gets the heal.

01:28:49.080 --> 01:28:55.440
Nice statue, but it's not gonna be enough. Down he will go, and Shun, he's the one to now pick up his fifth kill of the game.

01:28:55.440 --> 01:28:59.240
Yeah, Kanami's just trying to hold on to it, and he's not going for the 1v1 behind it.

01:28:59.240 --> 01:29:03.700
I don't envy the observers here. How are you supposed to keep up with this?

01:29:03.700 --> 01:29:06.500
Well, I mean, they're doing a pretty good job as Kanabi's going to go down as well.

01:29:06.500 --> 01:29:10.940
They knew he was about to bounce over that wall. He is going to stay alive, at least

01:29:10.940 --> 01:29:16.860
for the next couple of moments, as we toggle the vision on his obviously hunting, and it

01:29:16.860 --> 01:29:19.580
looks like the Dugger is going to slink away for now.

01:29:19.580 --> 01:29:24.940
So it turns out BLG can also snowball very effectively against the number one LCK team.

01:29:24.940 --> 01:29:28.020
Oh, and it's also, you were talking about Alk doing an interview for LPL England. She

01:29:28.020 --> 01:29:29.540
She did one with Kanavi as well.

01:29:29.540 --> 01:29:34.340
And Kanavi was talking about how he needed to be aware of how quickly LPL junglers can't play the game.

01:29:34.340 --> 01:29:38.260
Like, he hasn't had that same level since coming over to the LCK.

01:29:38.260 --> 01:29:42.100
And you're kind of seeing, you know, maybe he's slightly rusty coming into this one.

01:29:42.100 --> 01:29:45.220
Yeah, might have slowed down just a little bit.

01:29:45.220 --> 01:29:48.020
It's not really being what we've assumed in the LCK.

01:29:48.020 --> 01:29:54.020
We felt like the rest of HLE kind of caught up to Kanavi, but we're starting to see that perhaps that was not true.

01:29:54.020 --> 01:30:00.100
And I just love that it is all about the team play and everyone of one mind here on BOG.

01:30:00.100 --> 01:30:04.360
They're not hesitating at all. Every single play, you know, so well coordinated.

01:30:04.360 --> 01:30:10.640
The follow-up in CC between on and literally everyone else, especially Viper with these key roams.

01:30:10.640 --> 01:30:16.200
We were going to be a little bit skeptical of this Cassio bot, but he has been so good, Dagda,

01:30:16.200 --> 01:30:20.320
with his early ghost popping so he can be in position for a lot of these plays.

01:30:20.320 --> 01:30:24.320
They're going for a little bit of a check, you know, that's kind of a see if they flinched when you

01:30:25.320 --> 01:30:29.360
Throw my flask, but maybe I can get something but that's why I think this meta suits on down to a T

01:30:29.360 --> 01:30:35.280
Right like this guy has always been so good up faking our sorry cheating tempo faking the map movements that he's gonna play

01:30:35.280 --> 01:30:40.920
And should be able to step away from this plus it's also as you say like just there trying to see if you maybe blow

01:30:40.920 --> 01:30:43.040
So or some other spell just kind of be a bit cheeky

01:30:43.040 --> 01:30:48.160
I know this growing style meta where he's able to be out on the map is perfect for him

01:30:48.160 --> 01:30:53.320
I think that's why BLG could thrive just off the back of him alone. He's also immune to castor curses

01:30:55.920 --> 01:30:59.160
Well, I was gonna say like even that is maybe an extra layer

01:30:59.920 --> 01:31:05.400
Yeah, it was kind of beautiful. That's all right. Zeck are gonna be out of grab himself a plate takes him back crystalline overgrowth off

01:31:05.400 --> 01:31:08.920
But the BLG I mean they just kind of look at the river and take full control

01:31:09.720 --> 01:31:14.920
HLA down 7.5 K gold pre 20 minutes. I mean this is an absolute

01:31:14.920 --> 01:31:22.680
Massacre at this stage. Yeah, I mean BLG are just such an insane team at snowballing so good at snowballing

01:31:22.680 --> 01:31:27.420
And they've done it yet again here. So I think this one is just

01:31:28.120 --> 01:31:31.800
Incredibly hard to stop obviously because I'm not only gold balls for the dragon

01:31:31.800 --> 01:31:36.620
So I mean HLE they might already be thinking about like draft for the next game

01:31:37.480 --> 01:31:39.480
Because right now they can even get their red buff

01:31:39.800 --> 01:31:40.800
Yeah

01:31:40.800 --> 01:31:43.100
He's also got the smite dialed in the heartless.

01:31:43.100 --> 01:31:44.700
This is the problem though as well.

01:31:44.700 --> 01:31:45.800
If you're looking at the next game,

01:31:45.800 --> 01:31:47.800
if you're looking like the feelest value,

01:31:47.800 --> 01:31:50.900
I guess you could say Kanavi took away the nefiri.

01:31:50.900 --> 01:31:53.100
HLE fans probably not too excited about that,

01:31:53.100 --> 01:31:54.700
but in goes Knight,

01:31:54.700 --> 01:31:56.900
and he could have used Zekka's skim,

01:31:56.900 --> 01:31:59.300
if he would like to on this champion.

01:31:59.300 --> 01:32:02.400
And that is another denial from HLE.

01:32:02.400 --> 01:32:03.800
I think BLG get a lot out of this,

01:32:03.800 --> 01:32:05.400
even as far as feelest is concerned,

01:32:05.400 --> 01:32:07.400
moving into game number two.

01:32:07.400 --> 01:32:08.600
This is just insane.

01:32:08.600 --> 01:32:10.300
Like BLG are trying so hard,

01:32:10.300 --> 01:32:12.400
just continues to keep this pressure up.

01:32:12.400 --> 01:32:14.680
And even now, like with that push away,

01:32:14.680 --> 01:32:16.200
you still have Shun covering for Knight.

01:32:16.200 --> 01:32:17.780
He's starting to get more turrets placed.

01:32:17.780 --> 01:32:18.760
Kanabi.

01:32:18.760 --> 01:32:20.280
Yeah, I don't know what Kanabi's supposed to be

01:32:20.280 --> 01:32:21.400
able to do here as he does.

01:32:21.400 --> 01:32:23.920
The bounce is way out, but he's still just dead.

01:32:23.920 --> 01:32:25.840
That's a solo kill here for Shun.

01:32:25.840 --> 01:32:26.840
Absolutely absurd.

01:32:26.840 --> 01:32:29.000
Let's show this just living in his jungle.

01:32:29.000 --> 01:32:31.720
And it's so incredibly difficult for Kanabi.

01:32:31.720 --> 01:32:32.760
Like, what?

01:32:32.760 --> 01:32:35.960
You're a Baltic Cycle Sword and a dream here?

01:32:35.960 --> 01:32:37.360
Hoping that you can hold onto things?

01:32:37.360 --> 01:32:39.000
I think it's a Cycle Sword and a Knight, man.

01:32:39.000 --> 01:32:45.200
Dexter, that's what it's feeling like for me as the Rift Herald will be thrown down here in this mid lane.

01:32:45.200 --> 01:32:51.260
That is going to get a very comfortable kill on this out of turret that's lasted a much longer time than I was expecting.

01:32:51.260 --> 01:32:57.100
Shun driving forward, a beautiful tour, they catch Grimm, huge hit! Just the edge of the petrifying gaze!

01:32:57.100 --> 01:33:02.500
And I think that Gumi was scared at the beginning of that play, definitely was at the end after Viper got in there.

01:33:02.500 --> 01:33:08.100
And the read from on right there, and the thaw, but he's like, you know what, I'm going to play out the Rift Herald as well.

01:33:08.100 --> 01:33:21.160
I'm not faking this time. We're gonna full send the combo again and get another kill. I mean, there are the memes the only thing you know for as me

01:33:21.160 --> 01:33:23.160
Oh, yeah, I see night to lead another

01:33:23.700 --> 01:33:31.140
Is gonna try and exhaust him but even tie it night is very capable of just murdering canadi so there are the memes of

01:33:31.620 --> 01:33:33.620
BLG bad late game, but I

01:33:34.200 --> 01:33:36.200
Think the chance what late game

01:33:36.200 --> 01:33:40.200
Yeah, I think the chances of that showing up are literally zero this game.

01:33:40.200 --> 01:33:42.200
I think it's actually, we never get there.

01:33:42.200 --> 01:33:45.200
I think it's also when you don't really have to play macro.

01:33:45.200 --> 01:33:48.200
You just send Nite into a position, potentially it might be.

01:33:48.200 --> 01:33:51.200
I think it becomes a lot easier to try and do that, you know?

01:33:51.200 --> 01:33:54.200
Yeah, I think being able to attack move is all you really need at this point in time.

01:33:54.200 --> 01:33:59.200
It's also like, I do think BLG have this insane ability to just lock the hell in.

01:33:59.200 --> 01:34:01.200
Whatever they are up against, some of these really top teams.

01:34:01.200 --> 01:34:04.200
And especially when you're playing against some of the guys that, you know, for Nite,

01:34:04.200 --> 01:34:06.440
for night, I've denied you that golden roadblock in the day,

01:34:06.440 --> 01:34:08.240
like it gets personal for these laps.

01:34:08.240 --> 01:34:09.400
Oh, it does.

01:34:09.400 --> 01:34:12.180
I mean, the idea of like play to the level of your opponents

01:34:12.180 --> 01:34:16.560
or ideally just above the level of your opponents.

01:34:16.560 --> 01:34:18.440
And here they certainly are.

01:34:18.440 --> 01:34:20.840
So game number one, of course, you know,

01:34:20.840 --> 01:34:24.160
this is an absolute blowout from BLG,

01:34:24.160 --> 01:34:25.960
but we have seen teams, you know,

01:34:25.960 --> 01:34:27.840
bounce back with In-Dest of Five series.

01:34:27.840 --> 01:34:30.120
We had a very rare, even reverse sweep

01:34:30.120 --> 01:34:31.600
already at this tournament.

01:34:31.600 --> 01:34:35.160
And so even when an individual team is a blowout like this,

01:34:35.160 --> 01:34:37.600
it does not mean the rest of the series

01:34:37.600 --> 01:34:40.200
necessarily is gonna go in the same favor.

01:34:40.200 --> 01:34:42.460
You could definitely see a world where HLE

01:34:42.460 --> 01:34:45.800
are also able to do a very massive snowball game

01:34:45.800 --> 01:34:48.280
within this series a little bit later on.

01:34:48.280 --> 01:34:49.120
Not this one.

01:34:49.120 --> 01:34:51.520
And also shellackings are much easier to bounce back from

01:34:51.520 --> 01:34:54.480
than very close long games.

01:34:54.480 --> 01:34:58.680
Because that is very strenuous, incredibly stressful.

01:34:58.680 --> 01:35:01.040
And then the whole time you felt like you could do it

01:35:01.040 --> 01:35:03.400
and then you're one game further away.

01:35:03.400 --> 01:35:05.240
So, right, this game they're like, ah.

01:35:05.240 --> 01:35:06.080
This game, I think-

01:35:06.080 --> 01:35:06.920
And the point that I feel like-

01:35:06.920 --> 01:35:08.360
Based on what I've seen Kanavi doing,

01:35:08.360 --> 01:35:10.360
he's already thinking about what to play in games with.

01:35:10.360 --> 01:35:12.040
Yeah, I mean, the mascot prices moment there

01:35:12.040 --> 01:35:13.400
coming up with the, uh, soul,

01:35:13.400 --> 01:35:14.760
but I didn't want to just highlight,

01:35:14.760 --> 01:35:16.480
like the hunt for the golden road for BLG

01:35:16.480 --> 01:35:17.320
is massive for them.

01:35:17.320 --> 01:35:18.440
Like, this was the night,

01:35:18.440 --> 01:35:21.960
but from night in Kanavi on JDG back in 2023,

01:35:21.960 --> 01:35:24.280
by Gumiuchi and Zeyas,

01:35:24.280 --> 01:35:25.880
but now they want to get a little bit more.

01:35:25.880 --> 01:35:27.600
Yeah, cataclysm onto only Kanavi,

01:35:27.600 --> 01:35:29.400
he's not exactly the target they're looking for,

01:35:29.400 --> 01:35:32.040
Delight is just kind of dead as an afterthought.

01:35:32.040 --> 01:35:33.760
Cannabi gonna have to run the head out of there

01:35:33.760 --> 01:35:37.040
as the Twin Fangs are being sunk in.

01:35:37.040 --> 01:35:40.440
And BLG now just knocking on the door of HLE.

01:35:40.440 --> 01:35:42.680
And HLE, I just don't think they're gonna be able to.

01:35:42.680 --> 01:35:43.520
Don't answer.

01:35:43.520 --> 01:35:45.520
They're hiding in the attic at this point in time.

01:35:45.520 --> 01:35:46.880
They're like, you can take all the stuff.

01:35:46.880 --> 01:35:47.640
Take all the stuff.

01:35:47.640 --> 01:35:50.360
Well, we'll just hang out here.

01:35:50.360 --> 01:35:51.480
Please.

01:35:51.480 --> 01:35:52.360
Don't answer that door.

01:35:52.360 --> 01:35:54.480
You're not gonna like what's on the other side.

01:35:54.480 --> 01:35:56.400
It's also when they just don't reset.

01:35:56.400 --> 01:35:58.760
They just go and they go and they go and they go.

01:35:58.760 --> 01:36:02.120
Like, it's the same, B.O.G. really just kicking up the pace here.

01:36:02.640 --> 01:36:05.560
And we haven't even had time to really talk about items or anything like that,

01:36:05.560 --> 01:36:09.600
but Knight does have a very cool book that he's put together already.

01:36:09.600 --> 01:36:10.360
You know what I like?

01:36:10.360 --> 01:36:12.560
A few pages in there as well.

01:36:12.960 --> 01:36:16.000
And Shun getting closer and closer to his Guardian Angel,

01:36:16.000 --> 01:36:17.480
not to mention Bin with a couple of items.

01:36:17.480 --> 01:36:19.600
I mean, man, this is just...

01:36:20.360 --> 01:36:21.840
It's just over, isn't it?

01:36:21.840 --> 01:36:23.560
It is Knight. The most...

01:36:23.560 --> 01:36:25.760
Okay, we got another on. Oh, no, they're gonna kill someone.

01:36:25.760 --> 01:36:27.240
Kanabi is dead, ladies and gentlemen.

01:36:27.240 --> 01:36:28.560
Now, he's got Flash first,

01:36:28.560 --> 01:36:30.400
But then he is indeed going to go down.

01:36:30.400 --> 01:36:31.400
It is night.

01:36:31.400 --> 01:36:34.480
The most prolific writer of all league pros,

01:36:34.480 --> 01:36:35.960
because he buys Metas.

01:36:35.960 --> 01:36:36.460
Every year.

01:36:36.460 --> 01:36:39.240
The most of any girl for international's guarantee.

01:36:39.240 --> 01:36:40.320
It's nearly every game, guarantee.

01:36:40.320 --> 01:36:41.520
Every single game he picks it up.

01:36:41.520 --> 01:36:43.640
It's like no one in China has night's murder book.

01:36:43.640 --> 01:36:45.720
He's got, like, it is, that is his thing.

01:36:45.720 --> 01:36:47.200
It's a shtick, you know?

01:36:47.200 --> 01:36:50.120
He does have the death note.

01:36:50.120 --> 01:36:51.760
Well, Zekker is going to look for a bit of an angle.

01:36:51.760 --> 01:36:53.280
He does manage to buffer the ulti,

01:36:53.280 --> 01:36:54.400
but still gets knocked up.

01:36:54.400 --> 01:36:55.360
Nothing he could do.

01:36:55.360 --> 01:36:56.720
Shun, able to walk down.

01:36:56.720 --> 01:37:06.720
Now KillisNight gets into the back line, that is an electrocution onto Gume Yushi and an execution onto HLE here in game number one.

01:37:06.720 --> 01:37:14.720
My god, it was not close as BLG just paving this road right over the top of Homolife Esports.

01:37:14.720 --> 01:37:21.720
BLG just not giving Homolight a chance. Kanavi sent Paken as nice, looking for one more.

01:37:21.720 --> 01:37:24.720
Yep, he may as well see whether he dives the fountain.

01:37:24.720 --> 01:37:26.720
Off going to be the case just yet.

01:37:26.720 --> 01:37:28.720
This Kanabi is trying to tempt them into it,

01:37:28.720 --> 01:37:30.720
but the next is going to be the focus here.

01:37:30.720 --> 01:37:35.720
BLG, all business, as they will be able to take game number one

01:37:35.720 --> 01:37:37.720
onto demolition.

01:37:37.720 --> 01:37:40.720
I want to know what BLG did to warm up for this series,

01:37:40.720 --> 01:37:43.720
because it looked really good, Analyst!

01:37:43.720 --> 01:37:46.720
Did I don't know HLB?

01:37:46.720 --> 01:37:48.720
I thought that meant compressing the bus again.

01:37:48.720 --> 01:37:49.720
Did you?

01:37:49.720 --> 01:37:55.040
Hey, I just got a statue to be by a producer saying this is the 22nd time in

01:37:55.840 --> 01:38:01.020
2026 that night has had 10 kills or more in a game

01:38:01.020 --> 01:38:05.340
Yeah, he's been doing my walk this year. Not too bad. Yeah. No average night game

01:38:05.340 --> 01:38:11.840
Yeah, what is this? You did not predict BLG to win. What do you have to say for yourself? What do you have to say?

01:38:11.840 --> 01:38:14.920
I was wrong. I'm so sorry night

01:38:14.920 --> 01:38:22.280
I like I like I write on him, but don't but I also say he's the best player in the world true. I got some things right

01:38:22.280 --> 01:38:31.320
It's true and thanks to the reliable Cisco network. We saw that crisp double kill top lane as one of the many highlights

01:38:31.320 --> 01:38:36.600
That BLG show up. They make this collapse. It started with his initial dive. I was most happened on bin

01:38:36.600 --> 01:38:38.440
He gets one kill

01:38:38.440 --> 01:38:44.880
Everyone is moving instantly on the map from BLG on takes the tower night goes in picks up an

01:38:44.920 --> 01:38:51.560
easy double and this is the last man you want to see get ahead of the pace of the game because

01:38:51.560 --> 01:38:59.080
he just runs the game over. Oh yeah he completely takes over this game and as we're going to see

01:38:59.080 --> 01:39:07.000
a lot more Akali highlights from this I do want to call out again the boys shun and on setting up

01:39:07.000 --> 01:39:14.840
this early game this was so classically BLG in terms of how they played right that early invade

01:39:14.840 --> 01:39:19.800
down on the bot side this where I believe he just hits out though that was another play

01:39:19.800 --> 01:39:24.360
But the play on bot side where he hits level six immediately Jarvan ults

01:39:24.360 --> 01:39:30.500
I love the way that these two played in tandem and then night just yeah absolutely popped off

01:39:30.500 --> 01:39:34.600
I mean the solo kill on Zekka the solo kill on Kenavi through exhaust

01:39:34.600 --> 01:39:42.160
He's just walking anywhere killing anyone early beige eyes getting all the stacks in the book wiping them off the map

01:39:42.160 --> 01:39:44.160
That is a melee champion

01:39:44.840 --> 01:39:47.840
20,000 damage, decadent 5k!

01:39:47.840 --> 01:39:49.120
He did four times!

01:39:49.120 --> 01:39:50.400
In Paris, he's crazy.

01:39:50.400 --> 01:39:52.280
On did more damage than second.

01:39:52.280 --> 01:39:53.440
I mean, this is crazy.

01:39:53.440 --> 01:39:55.720
You know, I came into this, yes, I did predict HLE.

01:39:55.720 --> 01:39:57.960
I thought it was going to be more about HLE

01:39:57.960 --> 01:39:59.760
being that more complete team, but how they actually

01:39:59.760 --> 01:40:01.880
functioned as a unit.

01:40:01.880 --> 01:40:03.720
This felt like it was more about individuals,

01:40:03.720 --> 01:40:05.320
more about individual outplays.

01:40:05.320 --> 01:40:07.560
That early skirmish that we did watch

01:40:07.560 --> 01:40:10.360
decided a lot of the game, and there's individual outplays.

01:40:10.360 --> 01:40:12.880
There's little moments where it could have gone the way of HLE,

01:40:12.880 --> 01:40:19.080
But BLG it felt like got the better of them in every little fight and then it's got further and further and further away from them

01:40:19.080 --> 01:40:20.600
To the point where each other could do nothing

01:40:20.600 --> 01:40:27.280
Yeah, and this is BLG at their best because I also like you predicted HLE and the reason why I did is I was like, okay

01:40:27.280 --> 01:40:34.440
I feel like we haven't seen that level of play from BLG yet at this tournament. Well, here it is guys

01:40:34.440 --> 01:40:40.080
I hope you enjoyed because it's very very entertaining. I love watching BLG when they are on

01:40:40.080 --> 01:40:46.080
Yeah, it brings me back to that Viper quote about LPL style and this and that.

01:40:46.080 --> 01:40:49.080
It's like, yeah, we're gonna show you. We're gonna show you what LPL style is.

01:40:49.080 --> 01:40:52.080
LPL style is a 24 minute win with 100 kills.

01:40:52.080 --> 01:40:56.080
25 to 2 kills.

01:40:56.080 --> 01:40:59.080
Crazy. We're about to go out to game 2 after the break.

01:40:59.080 --> 01:41:02.080
So the pointers for HLE, Austria all said they were gonna win.

01:41:02.080 --> 01:41:04.080
I mean, I think you just have to wipe that one out of your memory.

01:41:04.080 --> 01:41:06.080
This one was decided in early skirmishes.

01:41:06.080 --> 01:41:08.080
I think if a couple little things went the other way,

01:41:08.080 --> 01:41:12.080
could have been HLE snowballing

01:41:12.080 --> 01:41:14.080
the game. Yeah, and I mean, I

01:41:14.080 --> 01:41:16.080
do think HLE absolutely have the

01:41:16.080 --> 01:41:18.080
players to be able to contend.

01:41:18.080 --> 01:41:20.080
So it's about tracking, especially

01:41:20.080 --> 01:41:22.080
shown it on in the early game,

01:41:22.080 --> 01:41:24.080
not allowing them to set up for

01:41:24.080 --> 01:41:26.080
the BLG carries. Yeah, we'll see.

01:41:26.080 --> 01:41:28.080
There's a lot to review and not a

01:41:28.080 --> 01:41:30.080
lot of time. We're going to kick

01:41:30.080 --> 01:41:32.080
it over to break and we'll come

01:41:32.080 --> 01:41:34.080
right back to see if HLE can

01:42:04.080 --> 01:42:11.080
The game is over.

01:42:11.080 --> 01:42:15.720
Tired of the off-season blues once Worlds is over?

01:42:15.720 --> 01:42:20.800
Fear not, because League of Legends is coming to the very first eSports Nations Cup, where

01:42:20.800 --> 01:42:25.360
players split from their clubs and compete for national pride.

01:42:25.360 --> 01:42:28.440
Will China test every limit imaginable?

01:42:28.440 --> 01:42:31.640
Will South Korea turn every game into a macro masterclass?

01:42:31.640 --> 01:42:35.640
Will EU and NA actually play in the correct lengths?

01:42:35.640 --> 01:42:38.640
The final event of the year is not to be missed.

01:42:38.640 --> 01:42:40.640
Esports Nations Cup 2026.

01:42:40.640 --> 01:42:42.640
See you in Riyadh.

01:43:31.640 --> 01:43:50.400
In Esports, legendary moments demand speed, scale, and soul.

01:43:50.400 --> 01:43:53.000
Players and fans bring the heart.

01:43:53.000 --> 01:43:54.760
Technology brings it to life.

01:43:54.760 --> 01:43:58.480
Every frame, every stat, every decisive play.

01:43:58.480 --> 01:44:06.480
In partnership with League of Legends Esports, we're driving digital innovation that empowers the Esports ecosystem to keep expanding.

01:44:07.480 --> 01:44:11.480
So players can focus on the game, and fans can focus on the moment.

01:44:14.480 --> 01:44:27.480
Times like this are where star players shine, and new legends step up, where legacies are built, and dreams will be realized on rates apart.

01:44:28.480 --> 01:44:30.480
He still doesn't die!

01:44:30.480 --> 01:44:34.480
He can't accept the failure we had expected!

01:44:34.480 --> 01:44:36.480
Just one more time!

01:44:36.480 --> 01:44:38.480
He doesn't know if he's wrong!

01:44:38.480 --> 01:44:40.480
Doing so much work in Gigi!

01:44:40.480 --> 01:44:43.480
He's just trying to hate them!

01:44:44.480 --> 01:44:47.480
When I was a player, if I was to make a misplay,

01:44:47.480 --> 01:44:50.480
maybe it's my mouse, maybe it's my armrest,

01:44:50.480 --> 01:44:51.480
something feels wrong.

01:44:51.480 --> 01:44:53.480
If you were at home, you wouldn't do that.

01:44:53.480 --> 01:44:56.480
The Infinite Precision Armrest is part of the largest

01:44:56.480 --> 01:45:01.040
to collect on-stage standard initiative aimed to bring your home or training

01:45:01.040 --> 01:45:03.200
room settings to the tournament stage.

01:45:26.480 --> 01:45:28.480
I can't believe it.

01:45:34.480 --> 01:45:36.480
Red Bull gives you wings.

01:46:26.480 --> 01:46:29.480
I feel, feel like living in the mad trap

01:46:29.480 --> 01:46:32.480
I don't mind just taking you to the jack-o'-lantern

01:46:38.480 --> 01:46:39.480
What's up, Paul?

01:46:39.480 --> 01:46:42.480
Think I figured it out, Andre

01:46:42.480 --> 01:46:43.480
Figure what out?

01:46:44.480 --> 01:46:47.480
A way to go back

01:46:47.480 --> 01:46:48.480
Back where?

01:46:48.480 --> 01:46:50.480
It's not where

01:46:50.480 --> 01:46:52.480
It's when!

01:46:52.480 --> 01:46:53.480
It's all right here

01:46:53.480 --> 01:46:54.480
I mean, figure out

01:46:54.480 --> 01:47:02.320
when when is it you know let me ask you this Andre what is lead to you season

01:47:02.320 --> 01:47:07.160
one season four could have been season two when we started having with jungle

01:47:07.160 --> 01:47:11.640
pathing could it be when we had hard of gold it was a shell why was it named

01:47:11.640 --> 01:47:16.080
hard of gold it could be anything that we want I get a pull but I read this thing

01:47:16.080 --> 01:47:21.720
two shens in the game is it season is it OG beta when there was 40 champions look

01:47:21.720 --> 01:47:23.720
Look at the way she used to look.

01:47:23.720 --> 01:47:27.720
It could be any of these things, Andre.

01:47:27.720 --> 01:47:30.720
I mean, we'd kind of like to play all Graves again.

01:47:30.720 --> 01:47:31.720
Pretty good.

01:47:31.720 --> 01:47:33.720
But if we went back to that time,

01:47:33.720 --> 01:47:35.720
it could be any of those times.

01:47:35.720 --> 01:47:36.720
It'd be a lot of fun.

01:47:36.720 --> 01:47:38.720
What would you call this thing if we did it, though?

01:47:38.720 --> 01:47:39.720
Clash Fates.

01:47:39.720 --> 01:47:40.720
No, we're done with that.

01:47:40.720 --> 01:47:41.720
All right, okay.

01:47:41.720 --> 01:47:42.720
Old League.

01:47:42.720 --> 01:47:44.720
Who's that even for?

01:47:44.720 --> 01:47:45.720
Uh...

01:47:45.720 --> 01:47:46.720
Your...

01:47:46.720 --> 01:47:48.720
Favorite League.

01:47:48.720 --> 01:47:53.320
Okay, I think I got it.

01:47:53.320 --> 01:47:56.320
League Classic.

01:48:18.720 --> 01:48:45.960
Well, Sector is going to look for a bit of an angle, he does manage to buff in the ulti,

01:48:45.960 --> 01:48:48.480
still gets knocked up. Nothing he could do. He's done it.

01:48:48.480 --> 01:48:51.120
He's able to lock down that kill as he gets into the back line.

01:48:51.120 --> 01:48:59.200
That is an electrocution on Takumi Yushi and an execution onto HLE here in game number one.

01:48:59.200 --> 01:49:02.200
My God, it was not close.

01:49:06.040 --> 01:49:09.120
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. MSI 2026.

01:49:09.120 --> 01:49:15.920
Man, that first game was pretty quick, but I am woken up by the speed at which BLG played it.

01:49:15.920 --> 01:49:21.480
Atlas has been warmed up, BLG they've warmed up a long time ago, they came in hot and ready.

01:49:21.480 --> 01:49:24.320
HLE needs to do the same thing at least.

01:49:24.320 --> 01:49:29.680
We need to check on them real quick after that, but a lot has been said about how much

01:49:29.680 --> 01:49:32.280
HLE improved when everybody got on board.

01:49:32.280 --> 01:49:37.000
Play around Konami's game plan, down sync for jungle timers, play for all this aggressive

01:49:37.000 --> 01:49:41.500
style, but BLG just beat them to the punch and then snowballed so effectively after defending

01:49:41.500 --> 01:49:43.440
that first invade.

01:49:43.440 --> 01:49:47.400
This is why I think a lot of people kind of were surprised when, or at least coming into

01:49:47.400 --> 01:49:50.360
the tournament, were surprised when people were saying BLG could win the tournament,

01:49:50.360 --> 01:49:51.360
right?

01:49:51.360 --> 01:49:52.800
Because I think a lot of people are like, hey, how's Jalee?

01:49:52.800 --> 01:49:53.800
Have the advantage?

01:49:53.800 --> 01:49:57.960
There are better all arounds, but BLG have these moments where they can just wake up,

01:49:57.960 --> 01:50:02.840
they turn it on, and they go, no, we are just going to outperform you in every way, shape,

01:50:02.840 --> 01:50:05.200
and form, and we kind of got to see it in game one.

01:50:05.200 --> 01:50:06.960
But game one does not define a series.

01:50:06.960 --> 01:50:11.560
You still have to get yourself across the finish line, and as we get into our champ select

01:50:11.560 --> 01:50:15.480
presented by HyperX, we're going to have to see exactly what that game plan is going to be.

01:50:15.480 --> 01:50:19.880
Yeah, and I think Rises are now sort of on the mind. With the Casio,

01:50:19.880 --> 01:50:22.520
if you're already taken away and used in the bottom lane in game number one,

01:50:22.520 --> 01:50:27.480
maybe the blue man is going to be a thought. But HL League has been in the same champions here,

01:50:27.480 --> 01:50:32.440
they are on the blue side this time around, that was their decision, and it was second pick chosen

01:50:32.440 --> 01:50:39.640
here by Danny and BLG. Yeah, I 100% agree as far as Rise priority right now, skyrocketing.

01:50:39.640 --> 01:50:46.000
It's another like side effect or bot lane mages being so prevalent. It's the only game to it fearless. Yeah, still my pig stay

01:50:46.240 --> 01:50:53.200
But also yeah, we'll just leave blocking out the gasio down there and Orianna gonna remain banned cuz she's been so high

01:50:53.200 --> 01:50:57.120
You're not turned still open available though. Oh, yeah, that is gonna be the focus the singra

01:50:57.600 --> 01:50:59.600
way as well by HLE because

01:50:59.880 --> 01:51:02.760
You were seen a bit of funny business with the syndrome being swapped around as well

01:51:02.760 --> 01:51:05.840
So I'm curious what this first pick is gonna be in that mid lane

01:51:05.840 --> 01:51:11.660
I think the the rise gets even a bump from that as well with the ginger band and respect to yes

01:51:11.660 --> 01:51:13.660
It is night syndrome of my purse also

01:51:19.880 --> 01:51:25.600
But yeah, I think that one also puts even more but of course you can still play to lia and stuff it into the rise

01:51:25.600 --> 01:51:27.600
If you do give it up, it's not the end of the world

01:51:27.600 --> 01:51:33.540
There are still plenty of other possible answers BLG could go for well also another option if you want to go for

01:51:33.540 --> 01:51:36.220
But they're gonna take the other side of the coin and go for this Camille

01:51:36.220 --> 01:51:41.740
So trying to take that one away for deluxe. You know what? I also agree game one had a pretty big support difference

01:51:41.740 --> 01:51:43.900
It did on was insane

01:51:43.900 --> 01:51:49.660
So they prioritized that roaming supports and they are gonna have to give up the rise in order to do it though

01:51:49.660 --> 01:51:54.980
And also taking away the Camille from on for the rest of the series sounds like a really good idea

01:51:55.140 --> 01:52:00.180
When he had a game like he just did but it gives away the rise like we were saying incredibly high priority

01:52:00.180 --> 01:52:04.260
The Anivia as far as an answer to the rise is concerned is going to be there

01:52:04.260 --> 01:52:07.260
You're mentioning the Taliyah already so there are some options

01:52:07.260 --> 01:52:09.980
But it doesn't feel like a lot of them are all that good at the moment

01:52:09.980 --> 01:52:15.140
Yeah, we are gonna see you can also take the nocturne here for a show and have a great time like the not to be able to

01:52:15.340 --> 01:52:20.540
Support this rise in the silent is an option for going for the Lee sin wanting that early aggression

01:52:20.580 --> 01:52:24.600
So do Hali now Mel is that the option here to try to try this?

01:52:25.060 --> 01:52:27.900
Yeah, maybe and the jungle there for can Abbey

01:52:27.900 --> 01:52:34.900
And Abbey has played it already in this tournament. As has shown in fact, but we'll see what they do decide to go with.

01:52:34.900 --> 01:52:38.900
The Wukong going to be the option instead, or at least considered for now.

01:52:38.900 --> 01:52:44.900
Yeah, some AoE to go with your Camille here. I mean, it can build an Annie Wukong combination.

01:52:44.900 --> 01:52:45.900
It's this energy like...

01:52:45.900 --> 01:52:49.900
We love it. Keep it simple, Ryze Group. It's a Kiz and Joe. We're loving it.

01:52:49.900 --> 01:52:55.900
All we need is a Recon from Delight, his signature pick, and this is perfect. Back to basics.

01:52:55.900 --> 01:53:01.200
The most common pairing here and it's like okay. We'll get some extra aoe with our aoe

01:53:01.440 --> 01:53:05.680
problem is that rise has pretty good options for splitting and

01:53:06.580 --> 01:53:10.740
Leason is very mobile as well if you add on another

01:53:11.160 --> 01:53:15.020
Ambessa here, you know another solo lane that can gain priority towards sides

01:53:15.520 --> 01:53:20.020
You could put a lot of pressure to spread and Camille can only she can force a fight

01:53:20.860 --> 01:53:23.900
You know you're gonna have to still group and force only one area

01:53:23.900 --> 01:53:26.300
So you still can get picked apart across the map.

01:53:26.300 --> 01:53:29.420
I'm curious what Fyper and I want to opt into to this Camille though,

01:53:29.420 --> 01:53:30.780
because you couldn't have found him in the middle here,

01:53:30.780 --> 01:53:32.860
just trying to limit that pool for BLG.

01:53:32.860 --> 01:53:34.140
But we've seen things like, you know,

01:53:34.140 --> 01:53:36.660
the Caitlyn and Elise attempt to be an answer in towards this

01:53:36.660 --> 01:53:38.300
Mel bot lane, if you want to,

01:53:38.300 --> 01:53:40.540
on very capable of picking up that champion,

01:53:40.540 --> 01:53:43.820
but then you're kind of in this situation where it is a bit more difficult

01:53:43.820 --> 01:53:45.100
with trying to land the cocoons,

01:53:45.100 --> 01:53:46.620
and it hasn't quite worked out, I think,

01:53:46.620 --> 01:53:47.740
because a lot of teams have plans.

01:53:47.740 --> 01:53:50.380
So options for BLG, sure,

01:53:50.380 --> 01:53:52.620
but I think if I'm HLE, I'm trying to limit that

01:53:52.620 --> 01:53:55.160
with things like that, Caitlin Barnard, a lot of late.

01:53:55.160 --> 01:53:56.360
I do like the protection though,

01:53:56.360 --> 01:53:58.260
this Renekton ban coming on through making sure

01:53:58.260 --> 01:54:00.360
that Bin's life is as good as possible

01:54:00.360 --> 01:54:01.960
towards that top side of the map on the end.

01:54:01.960 --> 01:54:03.600
That's a, speaking of on,

01:54:03.600 --> 01:54:05.840
that is going to be the Alistar taken away,

01:54:05.840 --> 01:54:08.940
not necessarily speaking of, I just said the word on.

01:54:08.940 --> 01:54:10.400
So it's not necessarily that.

01:54:10.400 --> 01:54:12.340
I say just keep going with it.

01:54:12.340 --> 01:54:13.740
No one's gonna question you.

01:54:13.740 --> 01:54:15.080
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:54:15.080 --> 01:54:17.280
I hope not because we're gonna make that mistake a lot

01:54:17.280 --> 01:54:18.440
throughout this series.

01:54:18.440 --> 01:54:21.520
Okay, so something has been pretty fun this tournament,

01:54:21.520 --> 01:54:23.880
But it hasn't popped up quite yet.

01:54:23.880 --> 01:54:25.560
Everyone loves talking about the solo queue picks

01:54:25.560 --> 01:54:28.000
and the jack support into the meal.

01:54:28.000 --> 01:54:30.760
Hey, the dog zone of the Shen was already used.

01:54:30.760 --> 01:54:32.160
So you can't use that.

01:54:32.160 --> 01:54:33.920
But you could use another dog zone

01:54:33.920 --> 01:54:35.360
if you want to get spicy and make

01:54:35.360 --> 01:54:39.160
it keep our insane battlefield of supports going.

01:54:39.160 --> 01:54:40.200
Move the run out there.

01:54:40.200 --> 01:54:42.640
The likelihood is still probably not that high,

01:54:42.640 --> 01:54:43.400
because you don't have to play that.

01:54:43.400 --> 01:54:44.800
Auto list is being banned, though.

01:54:44.800 --> 01:54:46.160
The bot's already banned it.

01:54:46.160 --> 01:54:47.600
Then in the pool, there are at least.

01:54:47.600 --> 01:54:48.480
That certainly is.

01:54:48.480 --> 01:54:49.800
I don't know whether it's actually

01:54:49.800 --> 01:54:51.480
going to be the choice there are still other champions.

01:54:51.480 --> 01:54:56.760
up and available. I will also say on an exceptionally good record. So maybe that's the option for

01:54:56.760 --> 01:55:01.520
like a Zyra kind of bottom lane to try and take the obesity. But it's like you can't

01:55:01.520 --> 01:55:06.880
play the record because we're just going to play Leona instead. I mean could be the case.

01:55:06.880 --> 01:55:12.200
This is it's all yesterday at least from LeBrov could be a decent play here to just try and

01:55:12.200 --> 01:55:15.720
have solid CC the ability to start roaming around and try and match some of that Camille

01:55:15.720 --> 01:55:20.800
in the early stages. Yeah Leona very sturdy that you know they do need some you know help

01:55:20.800 --> 01:55:25.800
for face checking here so I was weirdly assuming Camille is going to play but never mind I

01:55:25.800 --> 01:55:32.120
mean yeah I mean the flexibility options Alice yeah I got blinded by the Wukong Annie

01:55:32.120 --> 01:55:40.680
Rickon. The flexibility options are limitless. Wait a second they're picking both of them.

01:55:40.680 --> 01:55:46.560
You could literally get away with saying anything is flexed here we go baby. Alright so we are

01:55:46.560 --> 01:55:51.200
They're still assuming the normal of the Camille Bottom Lane support, but uh, you know, we'll

01:55:51.200 --> 01:55:52.200
see here.

01:55:52.200 --> 01:55:56.700
Back to the Leona though, I really do think this is such a good pairing with Lee Sin,

01:55:56.700 --> 01:56:01.400
because you can have priority on the Wukong, like this duo, Shen and On, already, their

01:56:01.400 --> 01:56:06.360
synergy and their roam jammers are really good, helping Shen defend jungle and go for

01:56:06.360 --> 01:56:07.360
invades.

01:56:07.360 --> 01:56:12.840
When you have a Leona at your back as Lee Sin, you feel like you can literally do everything.

01:56:12.840 --> 01:56:19.240
your engage range is insanely long and you can really hold it all Viper okay the

01:56:19.240 --> 01:56:25.320
Taliyah bottom lane I remember this and I'm sad that I do yeah the Taliyah Pantheon

01:56:25.320 --> 01:56:28.800
back before feel as they played it three times in a row the series went three

01:56:28.800 --> 01:56:34.040
games and they did not pick up a trophy but this is with a Leona a different

01:56:34.040 --> 01:56:38.040
story those are against the Camille that hook shot not gonna look so fancy if

01:56:38.040 --> 01:56:40.560
you're just jumping over a pile of stones that are walking you in the

01:56:40.560 --> 01:56:42.560
He's sort of like tripping over the stairs.

01:56:42.560 --> 01:56:43.560
When you turn up, I'm here, guys.

01:56:43.560 --> 01:56:44.560
I think it works out pretty well.

01:56:44.560 --> 01:56:47.560
And you've already got so much set up there as well.

01:56:47.560 --> 01:56:49.560
The Leona working with the Taliyah, the Ambassador,

01:56:49.560 --> 01:56:52.560
leaving the Lee Sin in like, I think BLG have the opportunity

01:56:52.560 --> 01:56:55.560
to start playing off with a lot of these synergies in the kits.

01:56:55.560 --> 01:56:57.560
Yeah, I mean, Camille tries to go for the engage,

01:56:57.560 --> 01:57:00.560
and Leona just stands there and stat checks you,

01:57:00.560 --> 01:57:03.560
hits it you with the stun into the Taliyah combo.

01:57:03.560 --> 01:57:07.560
Just try and fight him front to back and delete that Camille.

01:57:07.560 --> 01:57:11.600
And somewhere CV max is sitting down going I had this idea first

01:57:12.720 --> 01:57:14.720
2019

01:57:20.360 --> 01:57:25.320
That's that's getting into tomorrow territory. I will I will not burden you guys are thinking about that one

01:57:25.320 --> 01:57:27.320
I do not want infighting

01:57:27.320 --> 01:57:29.760
It's gonna be more of like a 2023 vibe

01:57:29.760 --> 01:57:31.760
Oh, my God.

01:57:31.760 --> 01:57:33.760
Oh, my God.

01:57:33.760 --> 01:57:35.760
This is what I didn't want to happen.

01:57:35.760 --> 01:57:37.760
All right, here we are, ladies and gentlemen,

01:57:37.760 --> 01:57:39.760
under the riff for game number two.

01:57:39.760 --> 01:57:42.760
BLG already leading the score line there

01:57:42.760 --> 01:57:44.760
with one and nothing. HLE probably

01:57:44.760 --> 01:57:47.760
still a bit dazed for that first one.

01:57:47.760 --> 01:57:50.760
Well, let's see if they get stunned

01:57:50.760 --> 01:57:53.760
early on in this one, because I am rocked up,

01:57:53.760 --> 01:57:56.760
and that combo...

01:57:56.760 --> 01:58:01.760
for anything here. Hovering and trying to use on us a little bit a little bit big.

01:58:01.760 --> 01:58:03.760
Nobody's going to walk in and face check though.

01:58:03.760 --> 01:58:07.760
Zekka will hold his anti stun on Will just hold his skills too.

01:58:07.760 --> 01:58:11.760
Yeah, it looks like they were waiting to see if HLE took some space in the enemy jungle

01:58:11.760 --> 01:58:13.760
and were like, oh, we're going to place a ward, maybe catch them out.

01:58:13.760 --> 01:58:17.760
But it does mean there is a ward already down at the Raptors for Shun.

01:58:17.760 --> 01:58:20.760
So can I have you having a bit of information as to what this Lee sins up to?

01:58:20.760 --> 01:58:23.760
Alright, having a look first here towards his bottom side.

01:58:23.760 --> 01:58:28.240
What is your guys experience with the Taliyah-Leona bottom lane?

01:58:28.240 --> 01:58:37.840
My experience is it's going to be Leona stun into EW combo from the Taliyah and that's about it.

01:58:37.840 --> 01:58:39.440
Well, I mean that sounds pretty good.

01:58:39.440 --> 01:58:42.480
Yeah, and I mean you've got decent wave clear on the Taliyah, right?

01:58:42.480 --> 01:58:50.000
Like the only thing is the Taliyah I kind of want in like a side lane so that you can kind of play off of the fact she's the Weaver's wall.

01:58:50.000 --> 01:58:55.000
But honestly, Weaver's wall out two side lanes to support the Investor is going to be pretty good.

01:58:55.000 --> 01:58:57.600
There's a hook shot in, Viper taking a lot of damage already.

01:58:57.600 --> 01:58:59.600
Force shot picked up there by Guma.

01:58:59.600 --> 01:59:01.200
He's out of walkie's way back.

01:59:01.200 --> 01:59:02.200
Threads the needle right there.

01:59:02.200 --> 01:59:06.200
They'll be able to get back onto Viper and get a round on here for the engage.

01:59:06.200 --> 01:59:10.200
And naturally did a good job getting their bush presence first here.

01:59:10.200 --> 01:59:12.600
So they get to control the push on in.

01:59:12.600 --> 01:59:14.200
Yeah, extra bit of vision here.

01:59:14.200 --> 01:59:15.200
Remove.

01:59:16.800 --> 01:59:19.000
I mean the burst damage and the value out of Halo Blades.

01:59:19.000 --> 01:59:23.480
level one. Shun is avoiding the ward though, cleared out towards the top side now, moving

01:59:23.480 --> 01:59:30.240
in towards mid lane. Zeca? Yeah, used his ward hop. Zeca is feeling safe. Shun is out

01:59:30.240 --> 01:59:35.200
of the brush for the moment. Nice pin. He's going to be out of moving down. Yeah, the

01:59:35.200 --> 01:59:40.080
blue pin there as well. Shun is wasting a lot of time here though, so yeah, but I'm not

01:59:40.080 --> 01:59:43.740
going to be spotted just walking across. So for Kenavi, you know you're very far ahead

01:59:43.740 --> 01:59:48.040
of the clear. Is that on? Yeah. Takes a little bit of a lot of time from the light. A nice

01:59:48.040 --> 01:59:51.100
use of the true damage there as well but does get thrown back by that seismic

01:59:51.100 --> 01:59:55.240
shelf and so Delight gonna have that trade completely equalized by the Taliyah.

01:59:56.620 --> 02:00:02.320
Okay so this time around you know gonna be a bit delayed for Shun. We'll see if

02:00:02.320 --> 02:00:05.980
that ends up mattering you know Knavi on Wukong obviously is gonna look for the

02:00:05.980 --> 02:00:10.060
power clear really wants to get to the level six so just get back into the

02:00:10.060 --> 02:00:13.340
re-clears but finishing up towards the top side. Yeah here's what Knavi doesn't

02:00:13.340 --> 02:00:17.460
like the respawn of the timers here for BLG right because an opportunity to go

02:00:17.460 --> 02:00:21.860
back, spend your gold, then try and look for the raptor camp that's respawning or even avoid

02:00:21.860 --> 02:00:25.940
the Greek college is immediately trying to make you know, shouldn't be spending a lot of time

02:00:25.940 --> 02:00:30.180
there's bottom side missing, not the quickest of clears in that regard. Having a look here,

02:00:30.180 --> 02:00:36.420
the matchup between Zekker and Knight, things pretty Knight favored, historically, and the history

02:00:36.420 --> 02:00:42.420
is recently as last game is certainly going the same way. See whether Zekker can figure it out

02:00:42.420 --> 02:00:46.740
here is right now with the way he pushed up is actually in a very good spot on the ante, but

02:00:46.740 --> 02:00:48.460
It's still very early days.

02:00:48.460 --> 02:00:49.980
Yeah, it is also going to be a little blessed,

02:00:49.980 --> 02:00:52.220
like, you had second in the LPL number best teams,

02:00:52.220 --> 02:00:53.020
but there we go.

02:00:53.020 --> 02:00:55.140
This is the invade we were talking about.

02:00:55.140 --> 02:00:56.580
Apshan going to make his way over.

02:00:56.580 --> 02:00:57.460
It's going to be a smart fight.

02:00:57.460 --> 02:00:59.860
Secured here by Shen.

02:00:59.860 --> 02:01:02.020
Few popcorn chickens going to be picked up here by Kanabi,

02:01:02.020 --> 02:01:03.380
though, as they make their way out.

02:01:03.380 --> 02:01:05.180
Shen's still on the aggression, though,

02:01:05.180 --> 02:01:08.420
as on moving over a ward.

02:01:08.420 --> 02:01:10.460
Naturally, he's able to back away safely.

02:01:10.460 --> 02:01:13.380
Yeah, I mean, Shen, at least he does it as East right here.

02:01:13.380 --> 02:01:16.340
So he scares the big rafter, but still

02:01:16.340 --> 02:01:18.340
taking some of the babies there for

02:01:18.340 --> 02:01:20.340
Kenavian. Delight was there, you know, very

02:01:20.340 --> 02:01:22.340
early with the cameo, so

02:01:22.340 --> 02:01:24.340
they can force that play onto the

02:01:24.340 --> 02:01:26.340
second respawn of Raptors. Yeah, he's

02:01:26.340 --> 02:01:28.340
going to go back over towards his wolves, which he didn't pick up

02:01:28.340 --> 02:01:30.340
on his first clear, so then going to move up

02:01:30.340 --> 02:01:32.340
towards his croaks, so it's kind of

02:01:32.340 --> 02:01:34.340
in an awkward spot now for him, where he still hasn't got

02:01:34.340 --> 02:01:36.340
this reset, which is giving Kenavi a lot

02:01:36.340 --> 02:01:38.340
of time in the map, where he's not there. Yeah,

02:01:38.340 --> 02:01:40.340
and it makes your next reset

02:01:40.340 --> 02:01:42.340
really awkward as well, because it's

02:01:42.340 --> 02:01:44.340
ping-ponging all across both sides.

02:01:44.340 --> 02:01:50.420
So it definitely incentivizes you to look for ganks or look for invades on your opponent as well

02:01:50.940 --> 02:01:59.140
When your respawns are kind of so out of sync like that, but controlling again the vision and the loams around mid has been so critical

02:01:59.780 --> 02:02:06.940
And BLG had done a pretty good job of that the light of course trying to get some early moves on the Camille and

02:02:07.660 --> 02:02:13.080
Even up that difference as it's actually spidey sender's senses tingling here towards the top side is

02:02:13.080 --> 02:02:16.920
is not going to be walking up towards BIM.

02:02:16.920 --> 02:02:19.380
And you're not going to be able to find any gank angle there either.

02:02:19.380 --> 02:02:21.060
I was actually thinking about saying it, you know,

02:02:21.060 --> 02:02:23.720
when in doubt, just try and kill someone.

02:02:23.720 --> 02:02:25.320
But that wasn't even really an option there

02:02:25.320 --> 02:02:26.720
on that top side of the map, Dragon.

02:02:26.720 --> 02:02:29.720
Now coming up as we will start with the cloud.

02:02:29.720 --> 02:02:31.360
As the bear comes down from the sky,

02:02:31.360 --> 02:02:33.600
and there is a nice zenith plate here from on,

02:02:33.600 --> 02:02:35.680
gets the cleanse already out of Grumman's issue.

02:02:35.680 --> 02:02:37.960
He just had the Unraveled Earth used by Viper though,

02:02:37.960 --> 02:02:39.240
so there's no real follow-up.

02:02:39.240 --> 02:02:41.280
To me, this speaks more about, I think, Viper and I

02:02:41.280 --> 02:02:44.720
trying to get some sort of push on the bottom side so they could look for dragon, especially

02:02:44.720 --> 02:02:48.520
off the back of this Krugtec, I'm sorry, Gromptec coming through from Sean, but we'll

02:02:48.520 --> 02:02:52.760
have to see if that is the case because you can see there's just no real camps up, apart

02:02:52.760 --> 02:02:54.720
from the Raptors that are just a bit to respawn.

02:02:54.720 --> 02:02:59.600
All right, having a battle with Tibbers right now, Zeca feeling all right at the moment

02:02:59.600 --> 02:03:04.160
in the lane, but on and Sean are going to move up just to make sure that Knight is okay.

02:03:04.160 --> 02:03:07.040
Zeca will lose his bare 50 gold over to the Lee Sin.

02:03:07.040 --> 02:03:10.880
And this is some of that kind of downtime on his own camps for Sean, so, you know, he's

02:03:10.880 --> 02:03:14.900
looking to scrap instead looking to create some action. Good job pushing this

02:03:14.900 --> 02:03:18.200
go-to-crap top. Yeah I don't know about Zeke's positioning here as he's in amongst

02:03:18.200 --> 02:03:23.160
three people. Tempest goes down and so does the Annie. First blood over to

02:03:23.160 --> 02:03:27.180
Shun. Shun found that scrap, Colby. Managed to take that kill in the mid lane.

02:03:27.180 --> 02:03:31.820
Kamavi does guess that crab on the top side pushing him to level six. So a

02:03:31.820 --> 02:03:35.560
little bit of tension in this mid lane. He'll even send him by barring just to

02:03:35.560 --> 02:03:38.520
cover in case something went to wrong. It's always the fallback. Alright I don't

02:03:38.520 --> 02:03:43.160
have camps to farm. Let's do something. And I think it might have been some

02:03:43.160 --> 02:03:47.200
calms about the crab, because Kenobi was pushing crab up to the top. And so Knight

02:03:47.200 --> 02:03:51.160
was kind of leaning into the river. But if you're getting that close as any and

02:03:51.160 --> 02:03:55.080
check like that, didn't I see them all on the control ward? I'm pretty sure. Yeah,

02:03:55.080 --> 02:03:58.280
that's what I thought as well. So Zekker thought that maybe he could sneak his

02:03:58.280 --> 02:04:02.320
way in there, but I think was seen. But a bit of an error there from the mid lane.

02:04:02.320 --> 02:04:07.680
It's also going to miss a cannon. Oh, it's a cablecade. There is here on the

02:04:07.680 --> 02:04:12.700
map at this point in time. But Delight going to be going back. It is nowhere near any sort

02:04:12.700 --> 02:04:17.280
of insurmountable lead at this point in time. Very different to what we saw with those couple

02:04:17.280 --> 02:04:22.120
of kills picked up in game number one, but still a decent start here to bail Shun out

02:04:22.120 --> 02:04:25.200
from a difficult early path in this game.

02:04:25.200 --> 02:04:28.480
Just a little imporatious for Delight that he didn't actually have any words that he

02:04:28.480 --> 02:04:31.080
could have placed a little bit deeper into the jungle there. He spotted exactly where

02:04:31.080 --> 02:04:35.080
Shun was. So at least for the moment, Shun going to stay hidden as he was back towards

02:04:35.080 --> 02:04:38.760
topside and Zez doesn't actually have any words at the moment and you've got

02:04:38.760 --> 02:04:41.920
night with the Realm Warp moving so you can see Zez immediately starting to

02:04:41.920 --> 02:04:46.240
back off that top looks and while we have seen a lot more roaming out of

02:04:46.240 --> 02:04:50.960
the light early on and it seems like oh where you know where it's on he hasn't

02:04:50.960 --> 02:04:54.720
been doing as much this time you know he has been getting an extra level in the

02:04:54.720 --> 02:04:58.360
bottom side so he does have that full-level lead over the light with the

02:04:58.360 --> 02:05:04.420
Leona even though not as quick as the Camille is gonna be very scary when you

02:05:04.420 --> 02:05:11.920
You get your ultimates first because that is a very long range and if they can blow some flashes, it is going to spell death.

02:05:11.920 --> 02:05:15.560
You can see though the pressure that you have with the Camille and the Jhin on the bottom side

02:05:15.560 --> 02:05:19.420
has not at least a nice gold lead for Gumi-Yushi on the Jhin as we had to push in.

02:05:19.420 --> 02:05:23.720
Now opening up on the mid lane as well as there is some trading from BOG going on.

02:05:23.720 --> 02:05:26.420
I don't think they've spotted that Gumi-Yushi could be here, yes.

02:05:26.420 --> 02:05:27.620
Just going to tear it away.

02:05:27.620 --> 02:05:30.120
Some grubs going over to HLE in the meantime.

02:05:30.120 --> 02:05:34.760
Canavi able to at least grab those still with a bit of a camp lead as he takes the first one

02:05:34.760 --> 02:05:36.320
It looks like there's going to be no contest

02:05:36.320 --> 02:05:40.440
but but I piss here towards this bottom side grabbing some crockery out of this turret and

02:05:41.440 --> 02:05:47.280
That should be unanswered at the moment this shun clearing out this control ward the dragon has been begun as well

02:05:47.280 --> 02:05:50.600
So even though the grubs will go over to this wukong

02:05:50.640 --> 02:05:56.080
It's not without a cast as Zekker does find another bear towards night might seems not too perturbed

02:05:56.320 --> 02:05:59.400
They're still taking some damage. I mean honestly a pretty hefty cast

02:05:59.400 --> 02:06:02.240
going really nice for BLG here.

02:06:02.240 --> 02:06:04.040
Her plate money, getting the dragon as well,

02:06:04.040 --> 02:06:05.800
and straight for those grubs.

02:06:05.800 --> 02:06:07.360
Yeah, that's why I'm keeping my eyes on the bot lane,

02:06:07.360 --> 02:06:10.080
because I'm still seeing some of those cheeky HLE wards

02:06:10.080 --> 02:06:12.080
in behind, bi-praise-y goes for those pushes.

02:06:12.080 --> 02:06:14.120
Like, they've been so good at TP'ing's ace

02:06:14.120 --> 02:06:15.360
into some of these traps,

02:06:15.360 --> 02:06:17.360
almost having that TP available for Zekka as well.

02:06:17.360 --> 02:06:20.120
So it may be a case of HLE trying to blow open

02:06:20.120 --> 02:06:21.520
something through this bottom side.

02:06:21.520 --> 02:06:24.120
I really, really, really want to see

02:06:24.120 --> 02:06:25.720
if On can coordinate something

02:06:25.720 --> 02:06:28.840
to play off his earlier level six as well.

02:06:28.840 --> 02:06:31.340
I mean, he gets it now and they did see him get it.

02:06:31.340 --> 02:06:33.680
So maybe nothing too sneaky.

02:06:33.680 --> 02:06:36.340
But again, that experience difference for supports

02:06:36.340 --> 02:06:39.480
is so huge in this mid stage of the game

02:06:39.480 --> 02:06:42.820
when Leona's roam now can be devastating.

02:06:42.820 --> 02:06:45.860
Yeah, I think lucky for HLE that it's four minutes

02:06:45.860 --> 02:06:48.160
until anything is going to be up and available

02:06:48.160 --> 02:06:50.440
as far as those neutral objectives are concerned.

02:06:50.440 --> 02:06:53.040
But maybe something that they could fight around as BLG

02:06:53.040 --> 02:06:55.780
had been very good at just creating things to fight around

02:06:55.780 --> 02:07:00.300
like a blue buff, or a red, or maybe even a ward.

02:07:00.300 --> 02:07:02.740
There have been certainly ways to accelerate the game

02:07:02.740 --> 02:07:06.060
for the team demonstrating exactly the crubs.

02:07:06.060 --> 02:07:08.980
Crubs have been started here by Sean.

02:07:08.980 --> 02:07:10.500
Navian Delight moved their way up,

02:07:10.500 --> 02:07:12.620
Ben is just going to move back towards his turret

02:07:12.620 --> 02:07:15.660
and the defense is just too good here by BLG.

02:07:15.660 --> 02:07:17.980
They're doing a nice job of just shifting across them up,

02:07:17.980 --> 02:07:19.460
covering the plays and honestly,

02:07:19.460 --> 02:07:22.340
this was the thing that I expected to see more from HLE.

02:07:22.340 --> 02:07:24.420
Like I thought they did this fantastically

02:07:24.420 --> 02:07:25.940
in the series against G2.

02:07:25.940 --> 02:07:28.180
Always catching where Skumon was,

02:07:28.180 --> 02:07:30.780
making sure you're in position to cover for some of these plays.

02:07:30.780 --> 02:07:32.740
But at least in game one, they couldn't keep pace.

02:07:32.740 --> 02:07:34.860
This, to game, it feels G, who are actually

02:07:34.860 --> 02:07:36.820
managing to keep up some of the pressure here,

02:07:36.820 --> 02:07:39.820
has been a good trade against Zayas.

02:07:39.820 --> 02:07:41.580
With the public execution, though,

02:07:41.580 --> 02:07:43.700
a little more difficult to hit on towards the Jax,

02:07:43.700 --> 02:07:44.980
who can just leap-strike away.

02:07:44.980 --> 02:07:46.260
Yeah, soul play going to Connector.

02:07:46.260 --> 02:07:48.780
That is an extremely dead delight.

02:07:48.780 --> 02:07:50.100
And was level five?

02:07:50.100 --> 02:07:51.860
I don't think the ult would have helped.

02:07:51.860 --> 02:07:53.460
Yeah.

02:07:53.460 --> 02:07:54.960
in the dirt instantly.

02:07:54.960 --> 02:07:58.120
I was a really good pick there right over the wall.

02:07:58.120 --> 02:07:59.760
It was with a solar flare.

02:07:59.760 --> 02:08:01.480
They found it.

02:08:01.480 --> 02:08:04.040
I mean, it's just so it's so hard to deal with, right?

02:08:04.040 --> 02:08:05.480
It's a lot more simple.

02:08:05.480 --> 02:08:07.600
Oh, now the everybody's worried tricks to decently.

02:08:07.600 --> 02:08:10.480
That still has to flash away, holds onto the cyclone

02:08:10.480 --> 02:08:13.040
and elects to use the flash instead,

02:08:13.040 --> 02:08:15.280
maybe feeling like you'd have to use it anyway.

02:08:15.280 --> 02:08:18.040
I mean, it's like you got a lot more roams earlier

02:08:18.040 --> 02:08:20.960
for the communal, but he didn't get, you know,

02:08:20.960 --> 02:08:22.720
kills or assists on them.

02:08:22.720 --> 02:08:26.760
And so on just kind of played the more stable game and then once you've got the bigger firepower

02:08:27.360 --> 02:08:28.800
It's gonna be a big difference

02:08:28.800 --> 02:08:34.800
It's also just the how deep the ward coverage has end up being for BLG versus HLE right like we've seen those rooms

02:08:34.800 --> 02:08:36.320
But actually the war is just died on top side

02:08:36.320 --> 02:08:38.840
But quite shallow in the BLG jungle

02:08:38.840 --> 02:08:45.280
Whereas you've got now very deep wards that are littering the bottom side of the HLE jungle and it gives so much more information over

02:08:45.280 --> 02:08:50.920
So as you say like the roams are there, but I think the the capitalization what you can do with those rooms hasn't quite happened for tonight

02:08:50.920 --> 02:08:55.620
Here towards the topside's airs continuing to take a little bit of a battering.

02:08:55.620 --> 02:08:58.760
That is the Eclipse spike here from Bin in full effect.

02:08:58.760 --> 02:09:03.600
The ambassador is just way stronger at this point in time as we do see some pings towards

02:09:03.600 --> 02:09:05.600
the bottom side of the map.

02:09:05.600 --> 02:09:07.200
And four people going top at Bin.

02:09:07.200 --> 02:09:08.840
Yep, there is the deadly flourish as well.

02:09:08.840 --> 02:09:09.840
The curtains are being called.

02:09:09.840 --> 02:09:10.840
He's looking for sand.

02:09:10.840 --> 02:09:11.840
He flashes out of the way.

02:09:11.840 --> 02:09:12.840
The public execution.

02:09:12.840 --> 02:09:13.840
Delight gets in.

02:09:13.840 --> 02:09:14.840
They have second ultimatum to take the kill.

02:09:14.840 --> 02:09:16.840
An HL leader on the board.

02:09:16.840 --> 02:09:19.560
The flash forward to make sure that he covered the distance on towards Bin.

02:09:19.560 --> 02:09:21.200
Who's doing his best to get out of there.

02:09:21.200 --> 02:09:23.240
That was a kill for HLE.

02:09:24.240 --> 02:09:26.800
As BLG looked to grab some plates here in this mid lane.

02:09:26.800 --> 02:09:30.920
Zeca, moving over just to try and clear these last few minions.

02:09:30.920 --> 02:09:33.200
We'll be able to do so before too many plates fall.

02:09:33.200 --> 02:09:36.960
I will say one of the very common fallback patterns against BLG.

02:09:36.960 --> 02:09:39.400
When teams start losing versus BLG.

02:09:39.400 --> 02:09:42.920
I mean, we did this, Lyon did this when we were losing a lot early on.

02:09:42.920 --> 02:09:44.800
To get back in the game, they were just like,

02:09:44.800 --> 02:09:46.640
alright, let's look for bin in a side lane.

02:09:46.640 --> 02:09:51.440
Try and pick up bin a couple times and add to those isolated deaths.

02:09:51.440 --> 02:09:55.600
This one is like, okay, you cannot do much to get away from this.

02:09:55.600 --> 02:10:00.880
Camille with ultimately a flash on you, the Jinn is walking up lane, hitting the W on you.

02:10:00.880 --> 02:10:04.080
They're sending four people straight to your lane and it's still...

02:10:04.080 --> 02:10:04.640
Towers are still there.

02:10:04.640 --> 02:10:06.720
Being asked them really nicely to let them know.

02:10:06.720 --> 02:10:08.320
Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

02:10:08.320 --> 02:10:10.080
It's pretty poor form, isn't it?

02:10:10.720 --> 02:10:12.240
He made a formal request.

02:10:12.240 --> 02:10:14.000
That's one view on don't call the jungler.

02:10:14.000 --> 02:10:17.440
Can he call you ready to carry and support though?

02:10:17.440 --> 02:10:21.580
I think he specified the one thing.

02:10:21.580 --> 02:10:25.680
Did he also do a little trash talking beforehand or?

02:10:25.680 --> 02:10:31.080
Before he was very nice and kind of got it, it's subjective you know?

02:10:31.080 --> 02:10:33.360
It's open to interpretation.

02:10:33.360 --> 02:10:37.760
Alright, well Knight here towards his bottom side of the map, Zekka is staying away from

02:10:37.760 --> 02:10:38.760
this.

02:10:38.760 --> 02:10:41.360
Ryze will be out of catch that way before it gets towards his outer turret.

02:10:41.360 --> 02:10:43.760
Still it's a 1.3k gold advantage for BLG.

02:10:43.760 --> 02:10:47.720
They have been able to snowball that small lead that they picked up with the first blood.

02:10:47.720 --> 02:10:51.840
I don't think like for HLE though, like you're too stressed about this.

02:10:51.840 --> 02:10:55.480
You still got the Camille who's now roaming towards bin again who doesn't have flash.

02:10:55.480 --> 02:10:57.480
And you still have an insane wombo.

02:10:57.480 --> 02:11:00.160
And you managed to pick up Void Grubbs which is great for Zayas if you're going to get

02:11:00.160 --> 02:11:01.160
this Jax Fenn, right?

02:11:01.160 --> 02:11:07.480
So it does seem to be that HLE have just adapted the game plan to, as you said, call me Killbin.

02:11:07.480 --> 02:11:10.280
Well they're now looking to try and kill him underneath this turret here.

02:11:10.280 --> 02:11:12.120
Or maybe catch on on rotation.

02:11:12.120 --> 02:11:13.120
There it is.

02:11:13.120 --> 02:11:19.120
A whole lot of value though as he does flash his way up, the teleport to come through as well as Zekar is joining this play.

02:11:19.120 --> 02:11:27.120
They are truly overloading this top side of the map as now looking for a turn on Tezeus perhaps, the rest of HLE trying to now get themselves into position.

02:11:27.120 --> 02:11:33.120
It's taking them some time as the dragon's already gone down on the other side of the map and there is the kick flash out of Sean.

02:11:33.120 --> 02:11:37.120
Gooma taken down and on the other side of the map he's left hanging.

02:11:37.120 --> 02:11:44.080
It's so good for BLG. They defend while they're taking dragon. They defend the weak side. They are on slips in

02:11:44.080 --> 02:11:46.880
He's happy to tank the engage. Wait a second

02:11:48.080 --> 02:11:54.440
At least they got the crab you can say for HLE, but BLG do so good taking the objective bot and then defending the other side

02:11:54.440 --> 02:11:59.560
Oh July making his way in does hextech ultimatum on to Vipers. Canavi wanting to make his way in

02:11:59.560 --> 02:12:03.800
He will be able to get there although never mind let's not to go for it

02:12:03.800 --> 02:12:10.840
Now Ankhavien a little bit of trouble does have that eclipse to make him so durable as Kanabi gets the next cyclone to take down the support

02:12:10.840 --> 02:12:14.320
But the monkey will be traded for it and bin picks up the kill

02:12:14.320 --> 02:12:19.040
But it's BLG you've just been using these globals so well you get the realm warp to pick off

02:12:19.040 --> 02:12:23.400
Goomayushi then as you get that TP from this to the bottom lane you end up with knight

02:12:23.800 --> 02:12:29.260
Teleporting down to match that play and this then jungle for support as shown able to cover on the mid lane as well as this

02:12:29.260 --> 02:12:32.300
constant rotation to keep pace with HLE.

02:12:32.300 --> 02:12:34.580
I mean, BLG, yes, they are setting the pace.

02:12:34.580 --> 02:12:35.660
They are on fire here.

02:12:35.660 --> 02:12:37.540
They're the ones calling these plays,

02:12:37.540 --> 02:12:38.740
and it's two dragons.

02:12:38.740 --> 02:12:39.780
Not as early as last game,

02:12:39.780 --> 02:12:42.300
and last game was an insanely early dragon soul,

02:12:42.300 --> 02:12:45.140
but still fairly a quick pace for them.

02:12:45.140 --> 02:12:46.300
Well, this is the ridiculous thing,

02:12:46.300 --> 02:12:51.300
is the fact that I haven't seen HLE get this out tempered at all,

02:12:52.020 --> 02:12:53.860
apart from maybe the LCK Cup,

02:12:53.860 --> 02:12:55.380
but they were barely even in that tournament.

02:12:55.380 --> 02:12:57.380
To be fair, they have two of the midlaners

02:12:57.380 --> 02:13:01.740
that are the most mobile when it comes to map, which is definitely helping out a

02:13:01.740 --> 02:13:05.960
smidge because even as HLE went for that top play Viper was made and just started

02:13:05.960 --> 02:13:10.460
walking top lane which meant they had to cut it off. Now you get Kuma Yushi

02:13:10.460 --> 02:13:15.260
who's realm warped on and shown excellent flash kick to set up the kill there.

02:13:15.260 --> 02:13:19.860
Beautiful stuff there, this synergy on display they get the realm warp pick and

02:13:19.860 --> 02:13:23.740
then they're defending Viper here soon as on award so you know he's sitting in

02:13:23.740 --> 02:13:26.060
sitting there, depending on how it's going to go.

02:13:26.060 --> 02:13:28.580
Yep, Zayac's going to try and leap his way away.

02:13:28.580 --> 02:13:30.940
Can Abi for the defense, DeLite going to be showing up as well.

02:13:30.940 --> 02:13:32.940
On obviously is right here as well,

02:13:32.940 --> 02:13:34.780
as the Rift Herald will be given on over,

02:13:34.780 --> 02:13:37.060
or at least forced to reset.

02:13:37.060 --> 02:13:38.700
HLE, they need to say goodbye to Zayac,

02:13:38.700 --> 02:13:39.860
but there's a deadly flourish!

02:13:39.860 --> 02:13:41.100
That's the pickoff!

02:13:41.100 --> 02:13:43.060
On to Omni by so much time!

02:13:43.060 --> 02:13:44.260
The curtains have been called!

02:13:44.260 --> 02:13:45.900
Now is the bullets fly!

02:13:45.900 --> 02:13:47.180
DeLite should be answered, though,

02:13:47.180 --> 02:13:50.060
and Sean, so incredibly low, but is going to survive.

02:13:50.060 --> 02:13:52.900
Public execution is a little private this time,

02:13:52.900 --> 02:13:57.860
as HLE will back away, but BLG once again, it's them on the objective!

02:13:57.860 --> 02:14:03.460
It's the TP from Bane that gets the members from BLG into position to cover for the play,

02:14:03.460 --> 02:14:07.300
support for support, but objective control for BLG.

02:14:07.300 --> 02:14:09.780
Yeah, they pick up the extra one. BLG had the option, they're like,

02:14:09.780 --> 02:14:15.460
okay, we could just keep Bane split pushing, or we can start this playoff on as well,

02:14:15.460 --> 02:14:18.820
and they just see it, they get the extra objective on top of it,

02:14:18.820 --> 02:14:23.580
and the Rift Herald will allow them to crack the rest of this outer turrets.

02:14:23.580 --> 02:14:27.180
I mean, it's two turret plates on top and mid and only one on bottom.

02:14:27.180 --> 02:14:29.260
So they can one shot that mid turret.

02:14:29.260 --> 02:14:31.380
Bin's going to take care of the top turret here.

02:14:31.380 --> 02:14:35.460
The outer ring of defenses for HLE will fall very soon.

02:14:35.460 --> 02:14:37.260
HLE want to try and make a play though.

02:14:37.260 --> 02:14:39.340
Shun trying to cover, but there's so many members.

02:14:39.340 --> 02:14:40.620
Zace has to back away.

02:14:40.620 --> 02:14:42.060
Canavi's going hard.

02:14:42.060 --> 02:14:43.180
Canavi does not want to.

02:14:43.180 --> 02:14:44.620
Oh, he got spotted.

02:14:44.620 --> 02:14:46.700
Yeah, spotted on the Skryas bloom.

02:14:46.700 --> 02:14:48.360
Now, looking to try and get himself out.

02:14:48.360 --> 02:14:49.660
Warrior Tricks to come through.

02:14:49.660 --> 02:14:51.360
Delight is going to try and defend.

02:14:51.360 --> 02:14:53.660
They want to save the monkey, and it looks like maybe

02:14:53.660 --> 02:14:54.660
they'll be successful.

02:14:54.660 --> 02:14:56.660
Flash out of the way. The solo player is there

02:14:56.660 --> 02:14:58.360
with the Counter Strike and the Leap Strike

02:14:58.360 --> 02:14:59.160
trying to get himself out.

02:14:59.160 --> 02:15:01.960
But now, Hechtek ultimating to cut off Nite

02:15:01.960 --> 02:15:03.860
and harness the one that they turn onto.

02:15:03.860 --> 02:15:05.500
He incinerate, helps grab that one,

02:15:05.500 --> 02:15:07.860
and Kanabi's even able to get out of there.

02:15:07.860 --> 02:15:10.400
Sean kicked to try and save Nite,

02:15:10.400 --> 02:15:13.560
but end up saving Delight in the long run.

02:15:13.560 --> 02:15:14.900
It's a kill back.

02:15:14.900 --> 02:15:19.060
A Viper and I were low mana, needs to be careful, but Bin doing some damage in the top lane.

02:15:19.060 --> 02:15:21.860
Yeah, it was a 4v5 play on the other side of the map.

02:15:21.860 --> 02:15:24.580
You're right, I mean, the instincts are there, here we go.

02:15:24.580 --> 02:15:28.740
Oh dear, more fighting is now going to be down very, very low, still able to walk it off.

02:15:28.740 --> 02:15:32.740
Didn't have his flash up just yet, but when the realm warp comes through,

02:15:32.740 --> 02:15:34.580
BLG always making those plays.

02:15:34.580 --> 02:15:37.540
The instincts are there, and you don't really blame Shrynk, because you're like,

02:15:37.540 --> 02:15:41.060
okay, you're always thinking, I'm going to kick this Camille out of her ultimate to,

02:15:41.060 --> 02:15:44.660
as the counter play, and then they didn't really count, they had that much damage,

02:15:44.660 --> 02:15:49.560
They could have just almost finished and burst instead, but they thought defensively first

02:15:49.560 --> 02:15:54.660
But now is dragging in 30 seconds and flash down flash down flash down flash down

02:15:54.660 --> 02:16:01.100
It is going to be a difficult fight for HLE if they try and take us and it's BLG who are already out on the map first to try and look for us

02:16:01.100 --> 02:16:05.340
Yep, and Vypher's flash will be available for the infernal that is coming up

02:16:05.500 --> 02:16:09.500
That is going to be infernal soul point for BLG if they're able to lock that one down now

02:16:09.500 --> 02:16:11.540
Zayas could be in a little bit of trouble here and by a little bit

02:16:11.540 --> 02:16:12.620
I mean, a lot.

02:16:12.620 --> 02:16:13.660
SolarBlet comes through.

02:16:13.660 --> 02:16:16.540
The layering of CC is perfect.

02:16:16.540 --> 02:16:19.340
And Knight is going to grab his second.

02:16:19.340 --> 02:16:21.420
Just going to keep up this pressure on the topside.

02:16:21.420 --> 02:16:22.740
Delight trying to move in towards mid.

02:16:22.740 --> 02:16:23.420
Viper to cover.

02:16:23.420 --> 02:16:25.380
He's spotted, though, crucially.

02:16:25.380 --> 02:16:27.140
And again, BLG make a topside play,

02:16:27.140 --> 02:16:28.300
but they're coming over.

02:16:28.300 --> 02:16:31.500
They're transitioning to defend the opposite side.

02:16:31.500 --> 02:16:33.420
Every time they're going to make a play

02:16:33.420 --> 02:16:36.020
and then still defend the cross-map,

02:16:36.020 --> 02:16:39.780
they're not letting HLE make any of these trades.

02:16:39.780 --> 02:16:43.160
Yeah, and Knight is even able to catch the wave in the bottom lane as well.

02:16:43.160 --> 02:16:45.520
Kanavi, I mean, the best you can hope for is a steal,

02:16:45.520 --> 02:16:47.500
but don't think he's coming back from it.

02:16:47.500 --> 02:16:51.000
And that is going to be that soul point picked up for BLG,

02:16:51.000 --> 02:16:55.000
a clean sweep for Dragons and HLE are just behind the play

02:16:55.000 --> 02:16:56.300
and they have been all day.

02:16:56.300 --> 02:16:58.340
Yeah, no trades allowed.

02:16:58.340 --> 02:17:01.840
They're going to keep them on the back foot and make them watch.

02:17:01.840 --> 02:17:06.480
Whole top side of the map for BLG accelerated and ahead.

02:17:06.480 --> 02:17:07.940
And that's just where you want it.

02:17:07.940 --> 02:17:11.380
want those solo lanes on their two item power spikes

02:17:11.380 --> 02:17:12.980
and they're going to be hitting Dagger.

02:17:12.980 --> 02:17:15.220
And it's so hard to try and match now on the side lanes

02:17:15.220 --> 02:17:17.820
because you have a Taliyah mid.

02:17:17.820 --> 02:17:19.900
Like the ability for this Taliyah to now influence

02:17:19.900 --> 02:17:21.900
on these side lanes is basically like she never

02:17:21.900 --> 02:17:22.940
left the leading phase.

02:17:22.940 --> 02:17:25.700
So for a BLG, they just want to keep up this pressure

02:17:25.700 --> 02:17:27.980
and delight has to run for the hills as a result.

02:17:27.980 --> 02:17:31.420
So there's strengths we were talking about from champion select

02:17:31.420 --> 02:17:33.340
with those side lanes being able to play the map.

02:17:33.340 --> 02:17:35.940
But it's also the gold lead in the jungle Atlas.

02:17:35.940 --> 02:17:38.580
Yep, Coinbase gold grind coming on through for Shun.

02:17:38.580 --> 02:17:44.180
After that first blood, he's been able to make playoff to play on a killing spree right now on this Lee Sin.

02:17:44.180 --> 02:17:48.180
And it feels like such a lovely game to play Lee Sin, doesn't it?

02:17:48.180 --> 02:17:55.940
You've got rune prison, soul of flesh, shield of daybreak, even the seismic shove to move them into the right position.

02:17:55.940 --> 02:17:56.740
Oh man.

02:17:56.740 --> 02:18:01.380
And you've got your mid-laner realm warping you on their AD carry over and over.

02:18:01.380 --> 02:18:04.420
It's like a delivery service right to Goomayushi's face.

02:18:04.420 --> 02:18:08.420
The amount of convenience that BLG have had in this game has just been glorious.

02:18:08.420 --> 02:18:10.920
It's very nice to just bring their own barrels to put the fish in.

02:18:10.920 --> 02:18:12.920
You know, just constantly over and over.

02:18:12.920 --> 02:18:16.120
For Shun. And I think this is where, again, now you have this pressure of,

02:18:16.120 --> 02:18:20.120
hey, we're going to push mid, Shun's there, now we start to roam over towards the side lanes,

02:18:20.120 --> 02:18:22.620
and there's one turret plate on the tier two.

02:18:22.620 --> 02:18:26.120
You have this Rift Herald to take the tier one in the mid lane,

02:18:26.120 --> 02:18:29.220
and now HLE trying to congregate on mass to mid,

02:18:29.220 --> 02:18:32.720
and it should sound the potential for the 2v1, they were looking for a bot lane.

02:18:32.720 --> 02:18:36.160
Exactly, and a bit of a herald right here that it's going to be a very short one.

02:18:36.160 --> 02:18:38.680
As Gumiuchi is able to help Kanabi take that one down.

02:18:38.680 --> 02:18:42.880
Now, Zeca moving towards his topside throws the bear down, but Knight is so tanky.

02:18:42.880 --> 02:18:44.480
Those first two items have been put together.

02:18:44.480 --> 02:18:48.880
He is still going to respect the Annie as he does realm walk away in possibility interrupt

02:18:48.880 --> 02:18:50.520
without that passage stacked up.

02:18:50.520 --> 02:18:54.280
Zeca will hit level 13 at least, but he is still pretty far behind.

02:18:54.280 --> 02:18:56.920
Yeah, the 1-3-1 is great from BLG.

02:18:56.920 --> 02:19:01.760
They keep up enough pressure towards mid and topside to get both towers.

02:19:01.760 --> 02:19:08.120
using the riff held here, making the escape, and I mean, I'm just thinking back to what you're talking about is

02:19:08.840 --> 02:19:13.400
you know, Guma's like, well, I might as well die. It's like that SpongeBob meme where he jumps in the grave.

02:19:14.760 --> 02:19:18.120
Realm Warp is at least hit onto my face. All right, great. Well, time to jump into the grave,

02:19:18.120 --> 02:19:22.000
but at least he was able to walk to his minion wave the second time around.

02:19:22.000 --> 02:19:28.840
We'll see if he is able to survive the next one as the play topside from BLG is looking pretty good.

02:19:28.840 --> 02:19:31.840
Yeah, we was all available here as well. There's the kickback on to Kanavi

02:19:31.840 --> 02:19:35.840
Solar play going to connect on to second but only for the slow. Kanavi's still gonna die though as Shun

02:19:35.840 --> 02:19:42.840
locks that one down a second, flashes over the top, sidesteps and very nicely, but he's still dead ladies and gentlemen

02:19:42.840 --> 02:19:48.840
Bin locks it down, BLG are just so mobile and now they're able to move over to the Baron if they'd like it

02:19:48.840 --> 02:19:58.840
BLG are just everywhere in this game and the big purple worm is only going to make things worse for HLE and keeping these terrorists safe.

02:19:58.840 --> 02:20:07.840
I mean we were saying during game number one, alright getting smashed in the first game doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to continue in the series and you're going to get smashed again.

02:20:07.840 --> 02:20:16.840
Well you might not get smashed in the same way, but BLG still are just looking so much better.

02:20:16.840 --> 02:20:19.320
And the guy who's pretty similar to be honest

02:20:20.520 --> 02:20:24.080
The guy you tried to shoot down has nearly a 2000 gold lead

02:20:24.080 --> 02:20:28.260
Now what's the pick up delight to really make it that much worse like in a flash away

02:20:28.260 --> 02:20:34.380
But this may not be as lucky as been moving towards the minion waves is fighting against on feeling better about that one

02:20:34.380 --> 02:20:37.300
Is that cooking it towards this bottom side throws down the bad

02:20:37.300 --> 02:20:40.240
It shouldn't get on in there to like finds a hex deck ultimatum

02:20:41.320 --> 02:20:44.860
Everything to take down been and they're still not able to get it finally

02:20:44.860 --> 02:20:50.420
He goes down, but at what cost ladies and gentlemen as Knights able to kill Zares as a response

02:20:50.620 --> 02:20:54.420
Another realm warp gets in there. Kumiishi playing defense

02:20:54.420 --> 02:20:59.660
He might be out of keep him alive for a little bit longer as the threaded Bully from Viper not able to do too much

02:20:59.660 --> 02:21:03.580
And they're flicked back onto his former mid laner. Oh

02:21:04.620 --> 02:21:10.020
Dear HLE I think it's all about whether they can also get themselves a reverse sweep

02:21:10.020 --> 02:21:17.020
It is not over just yet, it's going to have to flash and use everything to get out of the way that we've as well.

02:21:17.020 --> 02:21:21.020
Viper wanted to add one to himself there, but not quite able to do so.

02:21:21.020 --> 02:21:28.020
As BLG, I mean this is so impressive. This is the BLG that we got to see domestically.

02:21:28.020 --> 02:21:33.020
That people were questioning and playoffs, but it has finally made it to Deja.

02:21:33.020 --> 02:21:36.020
Alright, let's take a look at this one. They attack the side lanes first.

02:21:36.020 --> 02:21:40.840
Lane's first on and been are here early and then the teleport at the arrival of

02:21:40.840 --> 02:21:45.920
Chun goes for the kickback play on this day's been survived for a long time is

02:21:45.920 --> 02:21:50.360
important out that the even inside the Hexic ultimatum that they overreach for

02:21:50.360 --> 02:21:53.200
him and they can't get back after extending this deep and there's a

02:21:53.200 --> 02:21:59.000
realm war to help just jump on to Zach his head this rise is so tanky Viper on

02:21:59.000 --> 02:22:04.760
the side and even though it may be in Korea by presentation he's got the

02:22:04.760 --> 02:22:07.080
I'm quite advantage still there for him.

02:22:07.080 --> 02:22:11.280
Oh, yeah, there is the Dragon Soul as well.

02:22:11.280 --> 02:22:14.640
Infernal Soul picked up for BLG 8,000.

02:22:14.640 --> 02:22:17.080
I mean, it's the same game as Game 1.

02:22:17.080 --> 02:22:20.240
I mean, the coaching staff celebrating early,

02:22:20.240 --> 02:22:21.880
but I would say actually it's not even early.

02:22:21.880 --> 02:22:23.000
It's not right on time.

02:22:23.000 --> 02:22:25.360
Yeah, I think they need to do the celebrating now

02:22:25.360 --> 02:22:27.920
because they might just plan on how to do this

02:22:27.920 --> 02:22:30.000
in the next game very soon as well.

02:22:30.000 --> 02:22:32.360
As Viper getting out of the way, Xana is the best he can.

02:22:32.360 --> 02:22:34.680
Kanavi trying to cycle in his way to safety.

02:22:34.680 --> 02:22:39.400
But everyone is getting attacked from every angle possible.

02:22:39.400 --> 02:22:42.040
And Zez is just like, well, get me the heck out of here.

02:22:42.040 --> 02:22:45.120
Viper knows exactly where he is, throws him towards Nite.

02:22:45.120 --> 02:22:48.560
But Giff, that keeps on giving is BLG.

02:22:48.560 --> 02:22:50.720
Did a Harlem Globetrotter's today.

02:22:50.720 --> 02:22:52.880
It's absolutely insane.

02:22:52.880 --> 02:22:56.520
There is no keeping up with this team right now for a Hall of War

02:22:56.520 --> 02:22:57.600
life.

02:22:57.600 --> 02:23:00.400
And honestly, like, this is Viper is everywhere.

02:23:00.400 --> 02:23:01.800
Like, wasn't he just top lane?

02:23:01.800 --> 02:23:03.000
What was he doing down here?

02:23:03.000 --> 02:23:07.800
You've got creeps catching in between the turrets in the mid lane.

02:23:07.800 --> 02:23:10.800
Zephyr gonna get thrown back to Livid to bin.

02:23:11.500 --> 02:23:15.000
Oh my goodness, that looks like a strategy people using Killed for SAI.

02:23:15.000 --> 02:23:16.900
I mean, this is crazy, Atlas.

02:23:16.900 --> 02:23:22.400
The BLG are making the number one LCK team actually look like bots.

02:23:22.400 --> 02:23:25.200
Yeah, like they just cannot respond in time.

02:23:25.200 --> 02:23:28.600
This is unbelievable from BLG.

02:23:28.600 --> 02:23:31.500
They're now looking for this inhibitor in the mid lane.

02:23:31.500 --> 02:23:36.700
They're rail-wapping to the top lane, they are attacking every single front,

02:23:36.700 --> 02:23:40.700
and HLE just don't even really know where they're getting hit anymore.

02:23:40.700 --> 02:23:44.900
The Solar Flare going to connect onto Gumi-Yushi, he's backing away.

02:23:44.900 --> 02:23:48.100
And at least they know that when the Nexus Terrets are under fire,

02:23:48.100 --> 02:23:53.900
that is all the BLG are going to be hitting, and so they can be in the area for it.

02:23:53.900 --> 02:23:58.100
But you've got Zonyus, Seekers Armguard, GA for BLG.

02:23:58.100 --> 02:24:03.100
You don't have to do it once, you got to do it twice to find the magic for HLE of being in this vision.

02:24:03.100 --> 02:24:10.100
Well, Zayas looking to see whether he can at least stay alive against this, but on his moving over there's the counter strike, Viper in a little bit of trouble.

02:24:10.100 --> 02:24:17.100
Zayas trying to keep himself alive, Canadi is going to be able to get out of there. The question is can anyone else's delight is basically dead to stop this one off.

02:24:17.100 --> 02:24:22.100
He does manage to get Viper in the back line, but that is all he's going to be able to claim.

02:24:22.100 --> 02:24:34.100
The last shot from Gruma doesn't do anything at all, and he's desperately trying to defend two inhibitors down at 27 minutes, and BLG, they'll just go back and spend their hordes of gold.

02:24:34.100 --> 02:24:38.100
And HLE, they're probably already, wait a second.

02:24:38.100 --> 02:24:47.100
Yeah, Knight in a little bit of trouble, perhaps, as Kanabi gets over there, doesn't waste any time, uses the Cyclone immediately, there's the double knockup to come on through, but Knight just kills him.

02:24:47.100 --> 02:24:53.020
Yeah, nice never alone. It seems like this game. He is forever having someone there to help him

02:24:53.020 --> 02:24:59.740
I think even if he was alone, I mean, he said he was a 606. Yeah, 17 big big shield big damage

02:24:59.740 --> 02:25:05.100
Yeah, ready to actualize fellas. It's start talking about the conspiracy theories

02:25:07.820 --> 02:25:12.180
Because HLE this whole tournament, you know, they've been focused on three O's

02:25:13.020 --> 02:25:15.980
Going as little as possible in their stage time. Yes

02:25:17.100 --> 02:25:20.580
double elimination, you know, tournament. So got it. Got it.

02:25:20.780 --> 02:25:23.340
They're looking to get out of this series as quickly as possible.

02:25:23.340 --> 02:25:28.740
Question mark, like what in the heck do they know that they will have to then

02:25:28.740 --> 02:25:31.260
do this again. Yeah. Yeah.

02:25:31.260 --> 02:25:34.100
They do manage to get round through the also.

02:25:34.340 --> 02:25:36.940
Sure. BLG have shown a loss, but like

02:25:37.700 --> 02:25:40.860
so much shown. I don't even think about it.

02:25:40.860 --> 02:25:42.100
I think it's makes it worse.

02:25:42.100 --> 02:25:44.660
They've just waited for everything.

02:25:44.660 --> 02:25:51.660
This is actually insane that it is stopping this heavily, two games in a row.

02:25:51.660 --> 02:25:55.660
I mean we can say don't be a Game 1 Andy as much as we want.

02:25:55.660 --> 02:25:59.660
Don't be a Game 2 Billy.

02:25:59.660 --> 02:26:02.660
What happens with Game 3?

02:26:02.660 --> 02:26:04.660
Game 3 Stuart.

02:26:04.660 --> 02:26:10.660
Okay well BLG are looking for an angle and B and B will find one gets into the back line, eliminates.

02:26:10.660 --> 02:26:18.160
Gumiushi there, Zeku died at some point in that play, but I didn't quite see it, and there is going to be the Cyclone on tonight.

02:26:18.160 --> 02:26:22.660
He's going for it. If at first you don't succeed, you're not going to succeed in this series.

02:26:22.660 --> 02:26:33.660
His BLG will wipe them from the rip, and it feels like mercy here in game number two, as Viper just teleports in, looks to get rid of this last Nexus turret.

02:26:33.660 --> 02:26:40.700
And gentlemen, I think this is the quickest we've made it to a match point so far here at MSI, and it's in the winners final

02:26:40.700 --> 02:26:48.080
I mean the question is what's the quickest EO we've had at this event because BLG are looking like they're one of breakers

02:26:48.540 --> 02:26:54.740
My goodness. I am I've got some whiplash. I'm gonna solve that as we throw it over the analysts

02:26:54.740 --> 02:27:03.140
2. The most unlikely candidates for the biggest shillacking at MSI so far had to be this one,

02:27:03.140 --> 02:27:09.180
Jatt. But it is BLG that is calling it into existence. I do not know what's happening

02:27:09.180 --> 02:27:11.580
here. I mean, they're slowing down. Game 1, they

02:27:11.580 --> 02:27:18.460
got 25 kills in 25 minutes. Now it's 24 kills in 29. Can they keep it? What is happening

02:27:18.460 --> 02:27:22.900
right now? 7 more games. It's just behemoth. This isn't even close.

02:27:22.900 --> 02:27:24.240
Well, you called it!

02:27:24.240 --> 02:27:26.240
I called the 3-2 that was close.

02:27:26.240 --> 02:27:28.740
That's just as wrong as everybody else with how this is going.

02:27:28.740 --> 02:27:31.240
Okay, where are the big differences here?

02:27:31.240 --> 02:27:34.660
You know what? I'm just going to start immediately by something that Emily has been talking about.

02:27:34.660 --> 02:27:37.740
Non-stop in our HyperX Reflex Replay.

02:27:37.740 --> 02:27:38.900
Shun and On.

02:27:38.900 --> 02:27:43.700
Yeah, I mean these two are going to be the two that set the early tempo.

02:27:43.700 --> 02:27:48.160
As soon as Zeca face checks this brush, Shun and On are just already there.

02:27:48.160 --> 02:27:50.160
I didn't actually notice that.

02:27:50.160 --> 02:27:54.640
The crazy thing though, was he literally just saw them mid lane kill his timbers and then face check them.

02:27:54.640 --> 02:27:59.000
I think the big thing is, even with like, okay, that was a play with Knight, right?

02:27:59.000 --> 02:28:00.520
We saw the Taliyah flick back.

02:28:00.520 --> 02:28:06.840
But Shun and On are always, at least one of them, if not both of them, are always at the scene of the crime.

02:28:06.840 --> 02:28:11.800
And this is why when we talked about Night Mirror's question of like, okay, how do you deal with Knight?

02:28:11.800 --> 02:28:15.000
How do you deal with Ben, these two strong solo laners?

02:28:15.000 --> 02:28:19.960
My question is always, how do you deal with Shun and On setting these two up?

02:28:19.960 --> 02:28:24.920
Because when they are roaming the map together, BLG is at its best.

02:28:24.920 --> 02:28:26.120
And how do you deal with Viper?

02:28:26.120 --> 02:28:29.880
I want to take a look at the draft because I thought that they had some really clever drafting here.

02:28:29.880 --> 02:28:34.840
Honestly, it didn't really become that relevant because the game was such a stump,

02:28:34.840 --> 02:28:37.320
but Camille has been kind of the support of the tournament.

02:28:37.320 --> 02:28:40.440
And I thought what they did in draft was actually so clever.

02:28:40.440 --> 02:28:42.920
So obviously they're hiding, you know, what is going to be their bot lane.

02:28:42.920 --> 02:28:47.240
We're kind of expecting. Hey, it's maybe just mages versus mages bot. The Camille gets early picked

02:28:47.240 --> 02:28:51.160
I was thinking that they might have been gonna be banning Mel or something along those lines

02:28:51.160 --> 02:28:52.480
Didn't matter comes out with a gin

02:28:52.480 --> 02:28:56.120
But instead of picking to actually kill you to carry they're picking to kill the support you go

02:28:56.120 --> 02:29:01.520
Leona one of the tankiest early game supports in the entire game and you're combining it with the Taliyah has not only

02:29:01.600 --> 02:29:03.160
The size makes up out of the stun

02:29:03.160 --> 02:29:07.280
But if you ever hook shot in aggressively unwrappled earth comes out you're gonna be stunned

02:29:07.280 --> 02:29:12.720
You're gonna be killed and it's so easy to focus down this Camille who's so reliant on having gold and levels

02:29:12.720 --> 02:29:17.360
to be survivable. Something he can't get in a lane where you can't be active. And we

02:29:17.360 --> 02:29:20.720
can run through a couple of these kills. I mean, again, it's not exactly illustrating

02:29:20.720 --> 02:29:25.280
the point because the game got super out of hand, but it is really something that was

02:29:25.280 --> 02:29:30.320
just a denial play. He can never actually get aggressive. He could never find windows

02:29:30.320 --> 02:29:35.200
to actually look and start fights as he wanted to. Because as soon as the Camille goes in,

02:29:35.200 --> 02:29:39.920
Seismic, Shove, stunned up, burst down, they are focusing the Camille in so many of these

02:29:39.920 --> 02:29:44.420
skirmishes and we saw Delight was only ever even looking for something with

02:29:44.420 --> 02:29:48.880
Flash because the only way in his Flash ultimatum he could not really go for

02:29:48.880 --> 02:29:53.120
any hook shots to start plays. And the big thing to me is that Viper is one of

02:29:53.120 --> 02:29:57.080
the few AD carry players or bot lane players we should say that you can do

02:29:57.080 --> 02:30:01.120
this with right that's why I made the meme sign the return of the awesome dude

02:30:01.120 --> 02:30:05.160
meta because he is willing to play anything in this bot lane. And it's so

02:30:05.160 --> 02:30:08.800
interesting because you look at what he's played so far at MSI and it's that's

02:30:08.800 --> 02:30:10.360
That's his fourth or fifth different mage.

02:30:10.360 --> 02:30:14.800
We have Cassiopeia, Ziggs, Vel'Koz, Taliyah.

02:30:14.800 --> 02:30:16.640
But the game's really not about him.

02:30:16.640 --> 02:30:19.320
It's about the top side and how everyone else can support

02:30:19.320 --> 02:30:20.160
the top side.

02:30:20.160 --> 02:30:23.080
And then when they have these 15-minute skirmishes,

02:30:23.080 --> 02:30:25.440
he's just stronger than whatever the other AD carry is,

02:30:25.440 --> 02:30:28.440
because his items are cheaper than the other AD carry.

02:30:28.440 --> 02:30:30.800
And they're so good at accelerating these games.

02:30:30.800 --> 02:30:34.320
We're never seeing what the potential downsides would be.

02:30:34.320 --> 02:30:37.620
So I'm incredibly impressed with how they've come out today.

02:30:37.620 --> 02:30:43.220
I'm pretty disappointed in what we've seen from HLE and Zeca specifically so far today,

02:30:43.220 --> 02:30:46.460
but the games have kind of felt like they've been over within the first eight minutes

02:30:46.460 --> 02:30:47.660
without good BLG's from Snowball.

02:30:47.660 --> 02:30:49.660
I agree, HLE in this tournament so far.

02:30:49.660 --> 02:30:52.020
They steamrolled everyone they were up against,

02:30:52.020 --> 02:30:55.020
and I think this is something we'll have to carry into game three as well.

02:30:55.020 --> 02:30:56.100
Coaching staff, right?

02:30:56.100 --> 02:31:01.420
BLG just feel like a bit of a more of a complete team than we've seen of them in the past.

02:31:01.420 --> 02:31:04.500
Shout out to Denny, for instance, because of these draft adaptations.

02:31:04.500 --> 02:31:07.880
If this is thrown into the mix as well, the Spiders will be a sweep.

02:31:07.880 --> 02:31:10.880
HLE has to reverse sweep, which they have never done,

02:31:10.880 --> 02:31:14.100
and BLG has never been reversed swept before.

02:31:14.100 --> 02:31:18.740
So two things that we have never seen happen will have to happen

02:31:18.740 --> 02:31:20.500
if this is not going to be a BLG win.

02:31:20.500 --> 02:31:23.460
We had a couple of crazy moments here at MSI so far.

02:31:23.460 --> 02:31:27.740
Let's see if this is another one, or if BLG closed the door in game three.

02:32:04.500 --> 02:32:17.500
The human body was built to move, not trapped at a desk in one singular posture for 12 hours

02:32:17.500 --> 02:32:18.500
a day.

02:32:18.500 --> 02:32:22.500
It's time your chair evolved.

02:32:22.500 --> 02:32:26.500
This is Secret Lab Titan Evo.

02:32:26.500 --> 02:32:33.500
Ergonomically engineered for you, gamers, hybrid workers, artists,

02:32:33.500 --> 02:32:36.500
that in your every move.

02:32:39.500 --> 02:32:44.500
Times like this are where star players shine,

02:32:44.500 --> 02:32:48.500
and new legends step up, where legacies are built,

02:32:48.500 --> 02:32:53.500
and dreams are realized, are ripped apart.

02:32:53.500 --> 02:32:55.500
A shell doesn't die!

02:32:55.500 --> 02:32:59.500
You cannot stand the fact that God will be an expert in this!

02:32:59.500 --> 02:33:01.500
You can't get away!

02:33:01.500 --> 02:33:03.500
Because he knows that he's gone!

02:33:03.500 --> 02:33:06.500
You deserve what you've been doing to me!

02:33:06.500 --> 02:33:08.500
That's just going to end soon!

02:33:14.500 --> 02:33:17.500
Red Bull gives you wings!

02:33:53.500 --> 02:33:55.500
Wings.

02:34:23.500 --> 02:34:25.500
See you in Riyadh

02:35:23.500 --> 02:35:28.500
This time, we have prepared a game for the fans.

02:35:28.500 --> 02:35:33.500
Now, when BLG is in front of 2-0,

02:35:33.500 --> 02:35:38.500
we will have 4 BLG fans and 4 Hanaseng fans.

02:35:38.500 --> 02:35:40.500
Are you confident, Hanaseng fans?

02:35:42.500 --> 02:35:43.500
Are you confident, BLG?

02:35:45.500 --> 02:35:47.500
Okay, let's do rock-paper-scissors.

02:35:47.500 --> 02:35:50.500
First, please say rock-paper-scissors for the two who are in front of you.

02:35:50.500 --> 02:35:52.500
Let's go!

02:35:52.500 --> 02:35:54.500
1, 2, 3!

02:35:54.500 --> 02:35:56.500
Rock, paper, scissors!

02:35:58.500 --> 02:36:00.500
We won one by one!

02:36:00.500 --> 02:36:02.500
Rock, paper, scissors!

02:36:04.500 --> 02:36:06.500
We're winning by 2-0!

02:36:06.500 --> 02:36:08.500
Let's go!

02:36:08.500 --> 02:36:10.500
Rock, paper, scissors!

02:36:14.500 --> 02:36:16.500
Let's go rock, paper, scissors!

02:36:16.500 --> 02:36:18.500
Rock, paper, scissors!

02:36:20.500 --> 02:36:25.500
Congratulations to each one of you for winning the T-shirt!

02:36:25.500 --> 02:36:26.500
Congratulations to you!

02:36:26.500 --> 02:36:29.500
Let's scream!

02:36:30.500 --> 02:36:34.500
And now, please check under the seat of your fans.

02:36:34.500 --> 02:36:36.500
There is a lucky seat.

02:36:36.500 --> 02:36:40.500
There is a special gift for someone.

02:36:40.500 --> 02:36:44.500
Please check under the seat.

02:36:46.500 --> 02:36:48.500
B.O.G!

02:36:48.500 --> 02:36:50.500
It's a real DLG!

02:36:50.500 --> 02:36:53.500
There are fans who cheer for DLG.

02:36:53.500 --> 02:36:55.500
Are you happy now?

02:36:55.500 --> 02:36:57.500
Please check your left hand.

02:36:57.500 --> 02:36:59.500
Congratulations!

02:36:59.500 --> 02:37:02.500
There is a gift for fans.

02:37:02.500 --> 02:37:05.500
Please check it out.

02:37:05.500 --> 02:37:09.500
Let's cheer for DLG.

02:37:09.500 --> 02:37:11.500
Let's cheer for DLG first.

02:37:11.500 --> 02:37:13.500
DLG!

02:37:13.500 --> 02:37:14.500
Good.

02:37:14.500 --> 02:37:16.500
Let's cheer for DLG.

02:37:16.500 --> 02:37:19.500
1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, Byeong!

02:37:19.500 --> 02:37:21.500
Fighting!

02:37:21.500 --> 02:37:23.500
3 sets, run!

02:37:46.500 --> 02:37:49.500
And that's just make up. Yeah.

02:37:49.500 --> 02:37:52.500
Yeah.

02:37:52.500 --> 02:37:55.500
You kind of just scraped HLE off their boot twice in a row.

02:37:55.500 --> 02:37:58.500
And now we're here at match point.

02:37:58.500 --> 02:38:02.500
And I don't know, man, it feels like this Golden Road will not

02:38:02.500 --> 02:38:05.500
stop here from what we have seen thus far.

02:38:05.500 --> 02:38:09.500
Obviously, it is not the final of MSI just yet, but it might be

02:38:09.500 --> 02:38:14.500
a sneak preview of what we could be seeing there as BLG

02:38:14.500 --> 02:38:21.500
me just looking so dominant. Yeah, the problem is though, like if I'm actually slightly worried

02:38:21.500 --> 02:38:25.900
that a BLG dujos, Harith Freel, this that's going to get way too much confidence like

02:38:25.900 --> 02:38:32.100
they did against the way we domestically complacent. Yeah. Yeah, I was a little nervous with this

02:38:32.100 --> 02:38:39.060
team. Our conspiracy theories. It's all part of this. I feel like Tommy sports may have

02:38:39.060 --> 02:38:42.740
hurt you Rob, it's okay, it's okay, they cannot hurt you anymore.

02:38:42.740 --> 02:38:43.740
No they will.

02:38:43.740 --> 02:38:49.540
I know, this is my image, you cut me off, you know, I couldn't finish the sentence.

02:38:49.540 --> 02:38:53.580
HLE though very capable of hurting me further.

02:38:53.580 --> 02:38:58.780
And there is one more game to do so, this has just been, I mean I was kind of expecting

02:38:58.780 --> 02:39:02.580
that if HLE were going to win this series, it would look similar to this.

02:39:02.580 --> 02:39:07.020
Unfortunately on the other side for them, and it is just not being the way they need

02:39:07.020 --> 02:39:08.020
to wake up.

02:39:08.020 --> 02:39:10.740
Yeah, I mean, at least for them, always a second chance, right?

02:39:10.740 --> 02:39:13.860
This is not the elimination series, this is the upper bracket final, so

02:39:13.860 --> 02:39:18.820
they will end up dropping down facing the winner of G2R Line, whoever comes out of that tomorrow.

02:39:18.820 --> 02:39:24.500
But for them, I think they would like to do a lot of the legwork today if they could manage it,

02:39:24.500 --> 02:39:28.020
but there's still a lot to do as you're down 2-0 in this series.

02:39:28.020 --> 02:39:33.220
Yeah, I think HLE would like to play a little bit more League of Legends than

02:39:33.220 --> 02:39:40.700
And the short games that they've had already available to them, let's see if BLG let them.

02:39:40.700 --> 02:39:45.780
Because it does feel like it is up to BLG whether HLE are going to be able to enter

02:39:45.780 --> 02:39:47.620
this series or not.

02:39:47.620 --> 02:39:53.340
And it's once again a blue side pick here for HLE, even in the very final game potentially

02:39:53.340 --> 02:39:54.340
of this series.

02:39:54.340 --> 02:39:55.580
They need to make it work.

02:39:55.580 --> 02:39:58.500
Coach Owen, let's see whether he's actually got a plan here.

02:39:58.500 --> 02:40:01.580
Of course, spent an incredibly long time in the LPL.

02:40:01.580 --> 02:40:08.580
There in the LPL as well. I mean, there is a lot of experience understanding how this league works on this HLE roster

02:40:08.580 --> 02:40:15.580
and a lot of experience with a lot of the players that are on BLG as well. They just have not been able to keep up the pace.

02:40:15.580 --> 02:40:20.580
I think there's some sort of whiplash here between these two squads where HLE are like,

02:40:20.580 --> 02:40:25.580
oh wait, this is what it's like in the LPL actually where a lot of these players do have a lot of that experience.

02:40:25.580 --> 02:40:32.880
Yeah, it could not be spent like six years in the LPL and he has a very you know good winning record versus shun individually

02:40:33.380 --> 02:40:35.380
from his time there, but

02:40:35.380 --> 02:40:38.820
Not on his time here in Dajon

02:40:39.020 --> 02:40:43.100
Yeah, and I'd like shun had to try and fill cannavi shoes by cannavi left JDG

02:40:43.140 --> 02:40:48.500
Then ended up coming over towards BLG after all the shenanigans that last year with their jungler

02:40:48.500 --> 02:40:52.140
Well, it's shun selling it nicely being able to support the solo lanes

02:40:52.140 --> 02:40:59.120
But that has not been the story of today. It has been more about BLG specifically on working with Sean on the invades

02:40:59.380 --> 02:41:03.240
Shooting down can avi and making sure can avi cannot play his game

02:41:03.320 --> 02:41:09.340
Yeah, I mean the best thing that I've loved so much about the how BLG have looked this series

02:41:09.360 --> 02:41:15.540
Is how in sync they are yeah the layering of CC everybody being there on really good timers for the scrimmars is

02:41:15.660 --> 02:41:18.280
Everyone on the same plan as far as defending the plays

02:41:18.280 --> 02:41:26.280
Crossback plays, not letting your opponent get anything while you have to lead, but they have to lead, they know they have to lead, and they will not let you get a trade.

02:41:26.280 --> 02:41:30.280
So, back to the draft though, and our love of flex picks.

02:41:30.280 --> 02:41:34.280
The starter of flex pick is alive and well too, that's what that is.

02:41:34.280 --> 02:41:38.280
It's really alive and well, this is another flex pick, this could be the bottom lane.

02:41:38.280 --> 02:41:41.280
They very well could.

02:41:41.280 --> 02:41:48.280
Okay, well the Lucian is going to be locked in. This is when Gumi is she's like no guys. I want to win the game

02:41:48.280 --> 02:41:52.960
I don't know whether he's going to be allowed to delight is now on the Milio Judy as well

02:41:52.960 --> 02:41:57.380
Not necessarily his wheelhouse although he has had some good games on the champion

02:41:58.320 --> 02:42:02.740
And I have liked the games where we've seen Lucian Milio to try and punish the male lanes

02:42:02.740 --> 02:42:07.680
You know what regardless of what male does get put with so if you're going to do that though

02:42:07.680 --> 02:42:11.360
So you have to play to that lane, play to the bottom lane so that Lucian can do those

02:42:11.360 --> 02:42:17.720
trades on the mel, can continually dash in and keep that passive uptime and I want to

02:42:17.720 --> 02:42:21.980
see if they can actually get jungle under control, control the jungle towards bottom

02:42:21.980 --> 02:42:23.880
side and play to the Lucian Milio.

02:42:23.880 --> 02:42:27.640
I don't think it's going to be used into the Lucian Milio but just put it out there on

02:42:27.640 --> 02:42:28.880
those base corner.

02:42:28.880 --> 02:42:31.840
So it could also be the flex and scarner down into that bottom side as well.

02:42:31.840 --> 02:42:37.640
So options here still for BLG and I do think you kind of want something though that can

02:42:37.640 --> 02:42:43.040
and still get out onto the map, because that's mostly where BLG have been able to find the success here.

02:42:43.040 --> 02:42:46.540
And Scott are definitely one of those champions who can come in from multiple different angles

02:42:46.540 --> 02:42:49.840
and make things very uncomfortable for the likes of a victory in that mid lane.

02:42:49.840 --> 02:42:53.240
Yeah, and I'm kind of assuming that maybe the renecing can be played by Viper as well.

02:42:53.240 --> 02:42:55.540
Like at this point, everything is on the table.

02:42:55.540 --> 02:42:57.140
The Caitlyn is going to be taken away though.

02:42:57.140 --> 02:43:01.740
They do not believe that this Mel is definitely going into the bottom lane.

02:43:01.740 --> 02:43:03.840
Knight could obviously be playing that.

02:43:03.840 --> 02:43:08.120
But we do expect that the Mel is likely to be used there towards that bottom side, but

02:43:08.120 --> 02:43:12.280
to pivot away from the matchup could be a good idea, so eliminating some of those better

02:43:12.280 --> 02:43:13.280
options.

02:43:13.280 --> 02:43:17.240
Yeah, I mean with the prevalence of flexing everything around, you don't want to get hit

02:43:17.240 --> 02:43:21.880
all of a sudden with a Caitlyn, you know, Elise combination or something from Viper

02:43:21.880 --> 02:43:22.880
on.

02:43:22.880 --> 02:43:25.680
And that would just be brutal.

02:43:25.680 --> 02:43:30.840
Let's take a look though, what else they're worried about to cover on their side?

02:43:30.840 --> 02:43:37.160
I mean, the Mel is pretty good for mid lane too, uh, in the victor, so that's why they're

02:43:37.160 --> 02:43:41.240
really covering bottom lane, they don't want to deal with a, you know, hyper scale combination

02:43:41.240 --> 02:43:42.240
either.

02:43:42.240 --> 02:43:49.640
Uh, you know, the Zerry Lulu has been on display already, but it pays quite heavily at this

02:43:49.640 --> 02:43:54.880
tournament, and so take out the Lulu half of it where she pairs with just so many, uh,

02:43:54.880 --> 02:43:56.520
other better AD carries here.

02:43:56.520 --> 02:44:04.280
We've seen like called Lulu sometimes as an answer into the Lucian and Milio and he had a great performance on that action domestically in the playoffs as well

02:44:04.280 --> 02:44:05.520
so

02:44:05.520 --> 02:44:08.000
Looks like on gonna get his hands in her console

02:44:08.400 --> 02:44:11.480
Literally called the handsome support because of how good he looks on this pic

02:44:11.480 --> 02:44:16.480
So definitely a massive pick for on I love to see if he's gonna be able to find that same kind of roam timers

02:44:16.480 --> 02:44:21.840
I'll be talked about for can be a difficult thing to make work into something like a victim with so much a we damage going around

02:44:21.840 --> 02:44:26.480
We'll have to see how this one is going to be evened out as the atrox is an interesting one

02:44:26.480 --> 02:44:29.080
I had that Kenobi game in my head

02:44:29.400 --> 02:44:34.400
Seeing whether they could find a way to springboard themselves back into this series with a good performance

02:44:34.600 --> 02:44:40.240
The scannado is going to be the lock in here for Kenobi. I mean we saw T1 do exactly

02:44:40.240 --> 02:44:41.320
Did I say scannado?

02:44:41.320 --> 02:44:48.520
Because I mean Shun is a kindra player and we already just said hey we've already got that scannado potential flex

02:44:48.520 --> 02:44:54.520
This is what happened with T1 where they got cut out before. So where are they flexing it though? That's the question.

02:44:54.520 --> 02:44:59.520
So the the desire is coming in. I was thinking maybe Viper's gonna play Skarner this time.

02:44:59.520 --> 02:45:02.520
Yeah, so I was right there with you. I was right there with you.

02:45:02.520 --> 02:45:07.520
But no, not gonna be the case. We are gonna have the Lovers' Jewel there towards the bottom side of the map.

02:45:07.520 --> 02:45:13.520
And that with the Mundo lock in, I mean, there's solo kill pun with this matchup.

02:45:13.520 --> 02:45:17.760
with the Mundo into the Renekton with the surprise reset on him.

02:45:17.760 --> 02:45:20.720
And Bud was pretty good this turn of his.

02:45:20.720 --> 02:45:21.720
So we'll see.

02:45:21.720 --> 02:45:24.360
Bindo, a different monster.

02:45:24.360 --> 02:45:30.640
And I have to say, I think that Ben, with pushing priority on that lane,

02:45:30.640 --> 02:45:34.320
with Mel gonna have priority early on in that lane as well,

02:45:34.320 --> 02:45:38.720
I think this is another pretty good setup for BLG.

02:45:38.720 --> 02:45:41.200
I think if Hallmark can't slow the game down, though,

02:45:41.200 --> 02:45:46.000
There is so much scaling on their side, like with the Mundo, with the Victor in the mid lane,

02:45:46.000 --> 02:45:49.920
that Toronto going to be able to steal away a ton of stats from the Skarner, so I think for Hanwha,

02:45:49.920 --> 02:45:53.360
it is once more going to be a case of can you shut down the early game?

02:45:53.360 --> 02:45:58.720
Yeah, we'll see whether they can actually make that happen. I think if HLE can find a way to keep up

02:45:58.720 --> 02:46:05.760
with BLG, that might allow them to stay alive in this series. And honestly, with the amount of picks

02:46:05.760 --> 02:46:09.520
that have been feellessly taken away that are so high on the tier list.

02:46:09.520 --> 02:46:14.240
I am very interested in what these drafts are going to look like moving further forward.

02:46:14.240 --> 02:46:19.280
That being said, getting way ahead of myself because they actually need to wake up and actually

02:46:19.280 --> 02:46:25.280
start dictating the pace in some of these games when we get onto the ref for potentially the final

02:46:25.280 --> 02:46:26.320
time this series.

02:46:30.160 --> 02:46:32.160
A crowd doing their best to wake them up, Alice.

02:46:32.160 --> 02:46:34.640
Yeah, and they've been yelling even throughout the entire break.

02:46:34.640 --> 02:46:38.240
We saw HLG there as well, trying to wow them up.

02:46:39.440 --> 02:46:41.440
Fadaios coming through as well.

02:46:41.640 --> 02:46:42.640
HLG...

02:46:43.840 --> 02:46:48.440
Let's see whether they've finally had enough time to get into gear here.

02:46:49.440 --> 02:46:53.240
And the Toronto Pekingabi is something that he's found a lot of success on in the LCK as well.

02:46:53.240 --> 02:46:55.640
So something that he might be able to find some advantages on,

02:46:55.640 --> 02:46:59.840
especially with Shun, on something that is a little bit more on the back foot, at least very early on.

02:47:00.240 --> 02:47:04.040
Yeah, and we have exhaust on the dye here for Viper too.

02:47:04.040 --> 02:47:05.480
Try and deal with this move, Millie.

02:47:05.480 --> 02:47:08.480
That's immediate exhaust here in this bottom lane.

02:47:08.480 --> 02:47:10.480
I don't know whether it was the right move,

02:47:10.480 --> 02:47:13.080
but it's more valuable to put things on cooldown

02:47:13.080 --> 02:47:15.080
as quickly as possible so that you can potentially

02:47:15.080 --> 02:47:17.120
use them more per game.

02:47:17.120 --> 02:47:20.120
Yeah.

02:47:20.120 --> 02:47:23.680
I see what you're selling.

02:47:23.680 --> 02:47:25.120
I was just going to let that one sit.

02:47:25.120 --> 02:47:27.640
The trade didn't really look that great anyway,

02:47:27.640 --> 02:47:30.840
but I like the salesman.

02:47:30.840 --> 02:47:36.840
here as uh facing his team getting to fall. I flash out of fountain by the way.

02:47:36.840 --> 02:47:43.840
Yeah, I love that. Hey, any plastic is coming back. You can get your extra 5 AD with your ignite early.

02:47:43.840 --> 02:47:47.840
Oh, exactly. I'm lighting the Wraith on fire my way through.

02:47:47.840 --> 02:47:50.840
Precisely what's going to be happening.

02:47:50.840 --> 02:47:55.840
Hell yeah. Wraith is still going to be a man. Do you remember that camp? The Grump of Pogrom.

02:47:55.840 --> 02:48:03.840
Okay, ah well we do have a invade we got an invade buddy Trundle gonna go try and use the early dueling power

02:48:03.840 --> 02:48:07.900
He does start up the blue early here, and they see the ward go down so here comes the chase

02:48:07.900 --> 02:48:13.880
Yeah, level three for both of these junglers. There is the kennel thrown down and Kenavi gets the chomp onto the scana

02:48:14.760 --> 02:48:18.280
And be a battle for these wolves, and it's won by Kenavi this time

02:48:18.280 --> 02:48:23.160
Can I be didn't even have this mice shouldn't just miss time in that so can I be able to get the majority of the

02:48:23.160 --> 02:48:26.540
Camp which is very nice for the jungle the defense as well from HLE

02:48:26.540 --> 02:48:31.620
This is it feels like the first time that they were ahead of the play and what what were we asking for in champs?

02:48:31.620 --> 02:48:35.220
So that's Alice it is to get jungle play for bottom side. They do that

02:48:35.220 --> 02:48:42.480
They get winning jungle they play for bottom side. It's a much better different story for HLE for can I be and

02:48:43.000 --> 02:48:46.340
on the opposite side of course, you know shouldn't goes into

02:48:46.340 --> 02:48:51.940
countermeasures there and he at least is going to be able to take away the enemy

02:48:51.940 --> 02:48:55.780
blue quadrant. I'm taking a lot of damage on the bot side though. The feather

02:48:55.780 --> 02:48:59.660
pull from Viper not actually connected on to Gumi Ushi so now on when he just

02:48:59.660 --> 02:49:02.660
taking over to level three I have to play a little bit more defensive on this

02:49:02.660 --> 02:49:07.060
model I'm especially with Kanavi there. I'm a little nervous but looks like Kanavi

02:49:07.060 --> 02:49:10.940
just gonna walk his way through mid lane and see if he can match this garner on

02:49:10.940 --> 02:49:15.540
this topside crab. Yeah 22 minutes and five seconds the time to beat here for

02:49:15.540 --> 02:49:20.540
to enter the top five fastest best of fives of all time.

02:49:21.180 --> 02:49:22.860
Okay, that would be insanely fast.

02:49:22.860 --> 02:49:25.700
Yeah, 16-19, oh wow, that number,

02:49:25.700 --> 02:49:27.020
that really does not make me happy.

02:49:27.020 --> 02:49:28.780
It's never mind, you're usually gonna be out of dash

02:49:28.780 --> 02:49:30.700
out of the way of the grand entrance, nicely played here.

02:49:30.700 --> 02:49:34.100
It looks like his Lucian is still pretty dominant.

02:49:35.060 --> 02:49:36.100
See whether it's going to continue

02:49:36.100 --> 02:49:37.420
as it's still very early days.

02:49:37.420 --> 02:49:40.820
And I wanna highlight how good of a defense there it was

02:49:40.820 --> 02:49:41.900
from Kanabi.

02:49:41.900 --> 02:49:43.580
He crossed back to the other side,

02:49:43.580 --> 02:49:49.740
Chases a way shun who is still only on 20 CS but now yeah, can I be my being a little bit of trouble?

02:49:49.740 --> 02:49:54.220
Never mind night could be in a bit of trouble because he's forced to flash out of the way of that kennel

02:49:54.220 --> 02:49:57.380
Zeca putting down a great gravity field to force it. Yeah, I still hate you

02:49:57.380 --> 02:50:02.180
He put a lot of pressure down. I don't know what's happening here in bot lane. You're usually taking a lot of damage that girl

02:50:02.180 --> 02:50:05.020
That's what's happening as my first also gonna follow suit

02:50:05.500 --> 02:50:09.500
Intelligent trying to get this minion wave shoved in and they will do so and go for reset

02:50:09.500 --> 02:50:15.320
Yeah, I mean BLG struggling now when it gets back towards the 80 carries like we've seen build BLG really cooking

02:50:15.320 --> 02:50:20.560
You've got to see that on the side of your screens with like the swing the Velcro the Taliyah in the last game

02:50:20.680 --> 02:50:22.680
But now with this Lucian Milio

02:50:22.800 --> 02:50:27.540
Viber and I'm not looking so hot when it comes towards the 2v2 as soon as it's a normal lane

02:50:27.540 --> 02:50:32.940
Yeah, they don't know what they're doing. Well, I do think that I do think that like the

02:50:33.180 --> 02:50:36.780
Speciality of all has been getting out of the lane and interacting in the map, right?

02:50:36.780 --> 02:50:50.780
And we've seen in years past when it comes to 2v2, I'm still very good, but like when it came towards matching like Gumiushin Carrier, now matching up with Gumiushin Delight, like it is not as simple as a time from, especially given the map up match up.

02:50:50.780 --> 02:50:55.780
So I do think for HLE, this is where they can find that success by putting that pressure on.

02:50:55.780 --> 02:50:59.780
Yeah, and I think a lot of people would have been confused by the Victor first because why we didn't really go into it.

02:50:59.780 --> 02:51:03.380
But Zeka has been really, really good on this champion.

02:51:03.380 --> 02:51:06.820
It's something that I think Showmaker really started to make look kind of broken in the

02:51:06.820 --> 02:51:09.300
LCK earlier on this year.

02:51:09.300 --> 02:51:12.540
And Zeka did manage to find some great angles with it as well.

02:51:12.540 --> 02:51:16.540
So you might be looking at it going, that's not a Sylas or a N'Kali, but he has been doing

02:51:16.540 --> 02:51:17.540
well on this pick.

02:51:17.540 --> 02:51:18.540
Yeah.

02:51:18.540 --> 02:51:22.980
I like how he's like fully assimilated to the control mate to have the options.

02:51:22.980 --> 02:51:23.980
And it's so nice.

02:51:23.980 --> 02:51:27.300
You've got pushing mid and pushing bottom this time for Kanavi.

02:51:27.300 --> 02:51:32.900
I am very jungle paled, yes I know, but this is so good for Trundle.

02:51:32.900 --> 02:51:36.400
And it's quick at the bottom lane as well, forcing that vertical jungle lane is gorgeous.

02:51:36.400 --> 02:51:43.600
Exactly, it's so so good, and it should lead, wait a second, the collapse coming from BLG, they want to scrap this one out.

02:51:43.600 --> 02:51:54.700
Yep, the flash over from Kanavi is not trying to get out of there, does find the solo snare, as Gumiishi, he wants to turn his attention to the mid laner of BLG first blood as the chop comes down.

02:51:54.700 --> 02:51:57.040
And BLG just have to get out of there.

02:51:57.040 --> 02:52:00.160
This is the pace we were hoping to see from HLE.

02:52:00.160 --> 02:52:02.280
And I guess it's better late than never.

02:52:02.280 --> 02:52:04.740
And this is the kanami you wanted to see.

02:52:04.740 --> 02:52:06.880
It gets even better for him.

02:52:06.880 --> 02:52:08.700
They are expecting it.

02:52:08.700 --> 02:52:10.700
He flashes immediately over.

02:52:10.700 --> 02:52:13.820
They take him down, and it might not even be done yet.

02:52:13.820 --> 02:52:15.580
They got Scuttlecrab as well.

02:52:15.580 --> 02:52:17.620
Full Dragon control is theirs.

02:52:17.620 --> 02:52:19.980
The Ward seeing everything.

02:52:19.980 --> 02:52:22.540
HLE retaking control.

02:52:22.540 --> 02:52:24.540
Well, actually, just taking control for the first time

02:52:24.540 --> 02:52:28.060
the series. Yeah, I've been out in a little bit of trouble here as well towards this bottom side

02:52:28.060 --> 02:52:33.020
taking 50% of his health bar on as well. I'll utilize the gleaming quilt for some extra healing,

02:52:33.020 --> 02:52:36.860
but Kanabi just comes on over, takes some Kings tribute as well there towards the bottom side and

02:52:36.860 --> 02:52:40.620
is now looking to start the drape. He's burning some of those files in the bottom side punishing

02:52:40.620 --> 02:52:45.020
the fact that Knight didn't have that flash and now starting up the dragon. It looks like

02:52:45.020 --> 02:52:48.620
shouldn't going to try and trade this for presents on that top half of the map instead because

02:52:48.620 --> 02:52:53.820
he is hurting for some gold right now. Yeah, 55 to 36 in the jungle is kind of ridiculous.

02:52:53.820 --> 02:52:58.060
is going to get a push on away so that will be what feels like the first

02:52:58.060 --> 02:53:03.340
drape for HLE this series isn't I think they did just sweet souls in both of the

02:53:03.340 --> 02:53:07.580
first two games so there's their first one HLE have realized that there are

02:53:07.580 --> 02:53:10.900
mutual objectives on the bottom side of the map. Definitely worth being said

02:53:10.900 --> 02:53:15.420
though of course been performing really well on the renekt in here or has the

02:53:15.420 --> 02:53:21.300
lone lead for BLG has the push consistently into that top matchup as

02:53:21.300 --> 02:53:23.300
should be and

02:53:23.420 --> 02:53:27.860
Provides a little bit of space that calling going to be thrown out towards viper there on with the battle dance

02:53:28.260 --> 02:53:32.380
Going to join in takes a little bit like a not looking too worried about the situation

02:53:32.620 --> 02:53:33.820
You can see though again

02:53:33.820 --> 02:53:40.220
Can I be taking this jungle can't parade on the bottom side and move over towards pros and then potentially cover this bot lane as well?

02:53:40.500 --> 02:53:44.360
Which you've already got second moving to I think HLE one more

02:53:44.980 --> 02:53:47.620
Well, there's the exhaust under grooming issue at the beginning of this one

02:53:47.620 --> 02:53:51.380
They spot second moving down great ward in the pixel brush has got them a lot of

02:53:51.900 --> 02:53:56.300
Information so far this game, but the fact that second can finally leave the lane

02:53:56.940 --> 02:53:59.600
This is a very different game from the first two

02:54:00.420 --> 02:54:02.700
It certainly is I mean we're I

02:54:03.060 --> 02:54:07.020
We're gonna go way out there and say this game could be the longest one of the series so far

02:54:07.020 --> 02:54:11.980
Well, you are so out there for Kobe stop it with the

02:54:11.980 --> 02:54:13.980
the blazing predictions.

02:54:13.980 --> 02:54:17.980
BLG, you know, they still have plenty of options to themselves,

02:54:17.980 --> 02:54:24.980
but as you were highlighting earlier, this is much more of a focused area for HLE to be able to play off.

02:54:24.980 --> 02:54:30.980
Zayas here is just scaling on Mundo, trying not to give up too much on the top side of the map.

02:54:30.980 --> 02:54:37.980
Kanabi actually does have delight trailing, so he can start these up, and since he's so far ahead of Shun,

02:54:37.980 --> 02:54:40.980
he can just force objective after objective.

02:54:41.980 --> 02:54:45.120
Yeah, we'll be able to take that first little rub.

02:54:45.120 --> 02:54:47.920
Zeca moving over here as well as Delight in position.

02:54:47.920 --> 02:54:50.320
He's on the melee and not necessarily going to be starting off any fights.

02:54:50.320 --> 02:54:52.020
They do get control of the banana brush though,

02:54:52.020 --> 02:54:53.980
but now Bin is moving in Grand Entrance.

02:54:53.980 --> 02:54:56.660
He's going to come down, his on is in a lot of trouble,

02:54:56.660 --> 02:54:59.320
but the Mundo is able to get on top of Shearn.

02:54:59.320 --> 02:55:02.220
The Kennel goes down, Shearn just having to get himself out of his ass.

02:55:02.220 --> 02:55:04.320
Dealing with the rest of the quickness, come circuit on.

02:55:04.320 --> 02:55:06.560
Make something happen here, the answers no with Zeca.

02:55:06.560 --> 02:55:10.260
Locks down the Scorpion, the Crocodile running for the hills.

02:55:10.260 --> 02:55:14.420
And another briefcase will come on down, Kanabi distracted by a camp in the meantime.

02:55:14.420 --> 02:55:19.060
Viper is fighting Goomer and he sweeps him up with the feather recall.

02:55:19.060 --> 02:55:21.300
And it's a solo for Viper in the bottom lane.

02:55:21.300 --> 02:55:24.340
HLE are able to make the play happen on the top side,

02:55:24.340 --> 02:55:28.340
but Viper, punishing the fact that Goomer couldn't get his reset

02:55:28.340 --> 02:55:32.020
on the bottom side of the map, managed to answer one back.

02:55:32.020 --> 02:55:35.700
The playcaller flash reposition to finish it off.

02:55:35.700 --> 02:55:42.720
I just say that they did receive some defeats on the top side shouldn't here use the ultimon scarner with that one

02:55:42.720 --> 02:55:50.340
Not able to get anybody and drops immediately. So take a look at they're respecting bins move down from the top side

02:55:50.340 --> 02:55:53.940
So they pull back off and then there's just moved right up into the team

02:55:54.060 --> 02:55:58.920
To their sitting duck even though he tries to flash out just gets walked down by the trundle

02:55:58.920 --> 02:56:04.140
I was having a yield from delight to speed up on trying to move towards me to get that ultimate

02:56:04.140 --> 02:56:14.140
so that he can help out but still HLE very strong but Viper here. So Guma Yushi, when we had Zeka move down towards that bottom side, Guma Yushi wanted to look for the reset.

02:56:14.140 --> 02:56:28.140
He couldn't actually get it off because he was trying to help out with Zeka, which means that Viper punished incredibly well, flashing to connect with the feathers, getting some plates, and suddenly what was a CES and a gold lead for Guma Yushi, Viper now has access to it.

02:56:28.140 --> 02:56:32.740
really nice geometry performance there as well to make sure that Heather did manage to pick him up.

02:56:32.740 --> 02:56:36.340
It's now Zayas, hits towards the topside, just going to be eating his potions.

02:56:37.540 --> 02:56:39.740
And we'll be able to push bin away.

02:56:39.740 --> 02:56:43.240
And I feel like this is one of these matchups, it just gets more and more annoying for the Renekton.

02:56:43.240 --> 02:56:45.640
At the beginning, you're like, yeah, I'm winning, it's great, it's great, it's great.

02:56:45.640 --> 02:56:47.340
And then I'm winning less, I'm winning less, I'm winning less.

02:56:47.340 --> 02:56:49.240
Why is he taking damage? This is annoying.

02:56:49.240 --> 02:56:52.240
And then the Mundo just does anything he wants.

02:56:52.240 --> 02:56:53.140
He pushes.

02:56:53.140 --> 02:56:53.540
He does.

02:56:53.540 --> 02:56:55.740
He pushes, and he continues.

02:56:55.740 --> 02:56:57.740
He throws paperwork at you and you're like,

02:56:57.740 --> 02:56:59.740
I don't want to do more paperwork, boss!

02:57:01.740 --> 02:57:05.740
Alright, well, Delight and on to some support of combat here, but not exactly the end of the world.

02:57:05.740 --> 02:57:11.740
And as far as damage potential, it's not quite Camille versus Pike or anything like that.

02:57:11.740 --> 02:57:15.740
So, Gumiushi parking himself up here, and Kanabi.

02:57:15.740 --> 02:57:17.740
He's got a little bit of damage himself.

02:57:17.740 --> 02:57:21.740
Another exhaust comes down, feather storm for the damage, Gumiushi tries to get himself alive,

02:57:21.740 --> 02:57:25.740
and fails at the task, and Viper will kill him a second time!

02:57:25.740 --> 02:57:32.320
Even with Delight's heal and Ultimus, Viper punishing with that one item spike beautifully there.

02:57:32.320 --> 02:57:34.480
Exactly. He already had the Essence Reaver.

02:57:34.480 --> 02:57:39.320
Guma gets to buy his while he's dead back in base now, but that is too late.

02:57:39.320 --> 02:57:47.000
Aun and Viper have already done the deed, another kill for Viper Zyah.

02:57:47.000 --> 02:57:48.900
And he's now 800 gold ahead.

02:57:48.900 --> 02:57:51.300
Kanabi was leading by 1.1k. Still is, right?

02:57:51.300 --> 02:57:54.900
He is a huge advantage here for HLE.

02:57:54.900 --> 02:57:57.700
The desires carry potential later on in the game

02:57:57.700 --> 02:57:59.540
is kind of absurd.

02:57:59.540 --> 02:58:01.180
It will be a different look for BLG though.

02:58:01.180 --> 02:58:03.460
They've been traditionally about night and been.

02:58:03.460 --> 02:58:05.620
And even Danny said in some of those chats

02:58:05.620 --> 02:58:08.700
behind the scenes, look, you can't all be superstars

02:58:08.700 --> 02:58:09.540
on this team.

02:58:09.540 --> 02:58:10.620
Someone has to take a step back.

02:58:10.620 --> 02:58:13.860
And for most of the split, it was Viper who did us.

02:58:13.860 --> 02:58:15.740
Now it's the Viper who steps up.

02:58:15.740 --> 02:58:17.660
Well, I think you can.

02:58:17.660 --> 02:58:20.020
Having watched Viper previously.

02:58:20.020 --> 02:58:20.860
Yeah, he's pretty good.

02:58:20.860 --> 02:58:23.140
I think he's capable of making that happen,

02:58:23.140 --> 02:58:25.580
and has been on some teams with a lot of chefs.

02:58:25.580 --> 02:58:27.060
Guma flanking from bottom side.

02:58:27.060 --> 02:58:30.460
Lucian down here is disconnected from the rest of HLE.

02:58:30.460 --> 02:58:32.820
He's gonna take a while to walk over.

02:58:32.820 --> 02:58:33.860
Death Ray comes down,

02:58:33.860 --> 02:58:35.180
Knight able to avoid that.

02:58:35.180 --> 02:58:38.140
This mountain drape taken down to 50%, pretty durable.

02:58:38.140 --> 02:58:39.420
As far as the dragon is concerned,

02:58:39.420 --> 02:58:43.540
this ward down to 50%, but spots Guma on his way over.

02:58:43.540 --> 02:58:45.780
And now might be HLE's turn to make something happen.

02:58:45.780 --> 02:58:46.940
Nevermind, might come search,

02:58:46.940 --> 02:58:47.980
turn able to lock that one down,

02:58:47.980 --> 02:58:48.980
let me even out the drakes.

02:58:48.980 --> 02:58:53.020
Chemtech again, but God, there's a Mundo on this team and a trundle.

02:58:53.460 --> 02:58:57.500
OK, it's a Chemtech day for the HLE roster.

02:58:58.420 --> 02:59:01.020
Yeah, and I mean, they're going to stand him down as.

02:59:02.620 --> 02:59:05.300
Little bit early on the impact there for Sean.

02:59:05.580 --> 02:59:08.260
It's a little kind of stand him down, but it's so hard to steal against

02:59:08.260 --> 02:59:10.740
Garner, especially when it has the inside route on you like that,

02:59:10.740 --> 02:59:12.580
because you just throw out the ultimate.

02:59:12.580 --> 02:59:17.580
And so they're respecting on and at night's presence there, not walking up.

02:59:17.580 --> 02:59:22.340
Nobody actually going to fall in the play and just see the extra dragon

02:59:23.300 --> 02:59:28.520
All right says chasing up them or has been chasing up to say I think it says chasing up the better than when it can Abbie's moving up

02:59:29.580 --> 02:59:34.940
Dominus is there, but I don't know whether Ben's gonna be out of spite this one slices in Dice's creates some space and in comes the

02:59:36.380 --> 02:59:42.740
Flashers on top of the crocodile can Abbie held in position and taken out as night looking to try and answer the play as well on

02:59:42.740 --> 02:59:48.180
gets over here. Xes doesn't look too worried about it just yet. Zeca's moved up and Delight is now

02:59:48.180 --> 02:59:52.980
over the wall able to support his Mundo. He just wanders his way down on hard the quickness but

02:59:52.980 --> 02:59:57.380
didn't want to pop us until he knew but Viper stepping some back ropes off of Gumiushi but

02:59:57.380 --> 03:00:01.540
yeah the quickness they didn't want to use it until they had members from BLG in position.

03:00:01.540 --> 03:00:06.500
Still Xes able to step away from that top side after the kill. Very good for that Mundo.

03:00:07.300 --> 03:00:12.580
Those AD carry combat summoners are fairly closely synced. Gumi's barrier is going to come off

03:00:12.580 --> 03:00:14.980
cool down a little bit earlier as they go for a second.

03:00:14.980 --> 03:00:19.380
A really nice sidestep there is now on having to battle dance his way away and Zekker is not afraid.

03:00:19.380 --> 03:00:24.980
The sidesteps on this man are looking fantastic. Arcane Storm, he's ignoring the Rakan completely,

03:00:25.620 --> 03:00:30.180
throws circles down. He's doing some Venn diagrams, but there is no Rakan included in that as Delight

03:00:30.180 --> 03:00:33.780
moves up and HLA gonna look to grab some plates. And this has got to be the biggest difference

03:00:33.780 --> 03:00:38.500
in this game. Zekka here, he had been getting gapped by Knight in the previous games,

03:00:38.500 --> 03:00:41.540
But this game has been all Zekka.

03:00:41.540 --> 03:00:44.100
And the victor is going to be able to get the push.

03:00:44.100 --> 03:00:47.140
They're going to be able to get this second tower, actually,

03:00:47.140 --> 03:00:50.340
for themselves because they already took mid lane one down

03:00:50.340 --> 03:00:52.980
and add another one to their collection.

03:00:52.980 --> 03:00:55.300
And now it's almost like two and a half K gold.

03:00:55.300 --> 03:00:58.740
The advantage for HLE, they are doing their very best

03:00:58.740 --> 03:01:00.500
to perform the same kind of snowball

03:01:00.500 --> 03:01:02.980
that BLG been doing to them all day long.

03:01:02.980 --> 03:01:04.980
And this is what we talked about for HLE as well.

03:01:04.980 --> 03:01:08.260
Like, they have a composition that scales incredibly

03:01:08.260 --> 03:01:09.740
into the later portion of the game.

03:01:09.740 --> 03:01:12.180
Say, with a very early heart steal,

03:01:12.180 --> 03:01:14.020
they even try and stack it on Viper here.

03:01:14.020 --> 03:01:15.420
Yeah, he doesn't have Penta Storm available.

03:01:15.420 --> 03:01:18.180
He does have the exhaust, but Mundo is not tired.

03:01:18.180 --> 03:01:20.780
Zayas is just walking him down.

03:01:20.780 --> 03:01:23.580
And you're going to see him in the backhand

03:01:23.580 --> 03:01:27.980
on the back briefcase, if you will, as he takes him out.

03:01:27.980 --> 03:01:32.500
He just slowly walked up and down smashed Viper.

03:01:32.500 --> 03:01:35.060
It looked so gentle in the way as well when he did it.

03:01:35.060 --> 03:01:36.300
Just along it through the air.

03:01:36.300 --> 03:01:36.980
It's OK.

03:01:36.980 --> 03:01:37.980
There's the grand entrance.

03:01:37.980 --> 03:01:41.300
The quickness comes down as well in pale as this has he noticed yet?

03:01:41.300 --> 03:01:44.300
That's my question on now looking to fight to light because he knows

03:01:46.980 --> 03:01:53.140
He's got his special brew running does now wear off at least but PLG have pushed away from the turret

03:01:53.500 --> 03:01:58.260
Well, maybe we're gonna have to like take a poll or something. What is actually the biggest difference this game?

03:01:58.260 --> 03:02:01.100
Is it the Navi having the better jungle early on?

03:02:01.100 --> 03:02:06.540
Is it Zeka actually not getting gas by night or is it say you saw this boom though?

03:02:06.540 --> 03:02:11.040
Well, there's a teleport in. The Mundo is up here one more time as Kenavi.

03:02:11.040 --> 03:02:14.040
He is not going down to this one. The Slice, the Dice.

03:02:14.040 --> 03:02:16.540
Is the Kennel going to be available? The Flash comes through.

03:02:16.540 --> 03:02:19.040
There's no turret here though, Bin. Where are you going?

03:02:19.040 --> 03:02:23.540
Kenavi eats him. And BLG are going to have to run away from the bottom turret as well.

03:02:23.540 --> 03:02:25.540
HLE are turning their tempo all the way around.

03:02:25.540 --> 03:02:30.540
HLE, their G3 reports are going to be all profits.

03:02:30.540 --> 03:02:33.540
It looks like it is one. I'm getting a flashbang.

03:02:33.540 --> 03:02:39.400
I have I have the plan I understand their biggest problem around this time of year was

03:02:39.660 --> 03:02:45.200
Getting reverse swept and they're not being able to play the game. They realize wait

03:02:45.200 --> 03:02:47.000
We have to lose the first couple of games

03:02:47.000 --> 03:02:54.000
We're gonna be sorted out if we managed to figure it out after that and they are making it work at least here in game

03:02:54.000 --> 03:03:00.060
Number three very informed them that you only need to lose one in order to not get reverse swept next time

03:03:00.060 --> 03:03:02.940
And also they could have just won the series in a normal way.

03:03:02.940 --> 03:03:04.440
Yeah, you're exactly right.

03:03:06.440 --> 03:03:12.240
But, I mean, yeah, the precedence has been set at this tournament for reverse sweep.

03:03:12.240 --> 03:03:14.840
So we will wait and see.

03:03:14.840 --> 03:03:18.320
It's also just shows how terrified it is giving either of these teams a lead.

03:03:18.320 --> 03:03:21.180
Yeah, like, hey, Chely, I'm not taking their foot off the gas pedal.

03:03:21.180 --> 03:03:26.360
Since they got that early control with Kenavi and then gave it a lot more gold over towards Zekka.

03:03:26.360 --> 03:03:28.800
And now you're looking at Turds being taken across the board.

03:03:28.800 --> 03:03:33.180
the bot lane one, it's just about to fall. And Zayus, like when he finishes this war

03:03:33.180 --> 03:03:38.520
mod, I think basically completes everything he needs at this stage. So for HLE, they're

03:03:38.520 --> 03:03:41.320
now baiting Shun, he doesn't get to enjoy his jungle anymore.

03:03:41.320 --> 03:03:46.360
No, Kanabi gets to enjoy his jungle instead, comes on over and bites the grump and will

03:03:46.360 --> 03:03:52.360
be able to take that one down. 150 to 117, but 1.6k the advantage, because HLE looking

03:03:52.360 --> 03:03:58.320
for double dragon. And as these Chemtech drakes get stacked up, the closer to immortality,

03:03:58.320 --> 03:04:02.800
and Konavi get if they're not there already it's gonna get kind of ridiculous

03:04:02.800 --> 03:04:07.120
yeah honestly I kind of feel bad for Viper this game because you know he's

03:04:07.120 --> 03:04:10.800
got some you know 1v1s and 2v2 kills

03:04:10.800 --> 03:04:13.800
It's your turn to carry Viper! Let's see how you do it!

03:04:13.800 --> 03:04:15.800
If you do this we'll let you do it again!

03:04:15.800 --> 03:04:19.560
Yeah I mean giving you it a mobile wall and a mobile wall to get through

03:04:19.560 --> 03:04:26.200
Oh dear well at least he does have the option of going over it you know doesn't

03:04:26.200 --> 03:04:30.360
have to necessarily go through everything, because he does have that feather storm available,

03:04:30.360 --> 03:04:32.240
does have two items complete.

03:04:32.240 --> 03:04:36.000
If you can see who's right there with him, as we have a look at the Kleinbase gold grind,

03:04:36.000 --> 03:04:38.000
Knavi is very far ahead.

03:04:38.000 --> 03:04:39.560
That is basically what it's saying.

03:04:39.560 --> 03:04:44.920
He's been clearing out so many more camps, being able to really punish Shun on the Skarner

03:04:44.920 --> 03:04:46.920
that was picked blind this time.

03:04:46.920 --> 03:04:51.680
And I think that's the big story for me, is that HLE actually had answers to what were

03:04:51.680 --> 03:04:54.600
being presented by BLG in this game.

03:04:54.600 --> 03:05:02.240
Yeah, even with the flexible possibility they really called it as soon as they saw them especially with their cover bands and

03:05:03.600 --> 03:05:07.920
Pushing pushing pushing will continue for Zayas. I actually just

03:05:08.440 --> 03:05:13.340
Alright, well the invades will also continue. Yeah, can I be just going to fight down onto on?

03:05:14.160 --> 03:05:18.200
The light is moving up here as well. Let's go that fire kick is now can I be with Shelley over the wall?

03:05:18.200 --> 03:05:22.520
They're gonna look to knock down this in a turret. They are keeping up the pace in this game

03:05:22.520 --> 03:05:26.520
And then let's see whether he can keep this turret alive and charge is going to come through

03:05:26.520 --> 03:05:30.520
He definitely cannot now will the Dominus actually keep him alive?

03:05:30.520 --> 03:05:32.520
The second question is, Canabi's just beating him with a club

03:05:32.520 --> 03:05:37.520
Swice and Dice will get him out of there as Canabi is going to take the shellfish exit

03:05:37.520 --> 03:05:41.520
Viper is able to flash his way out, that is the smite to come through from Shun

03:05:41.520 --> 03:05:45.520
gets the impale over the base game and Canabi will finally be shut down

03:05:45.520 --> 03:05:48.520
Canabi was having a little bit too much fun

03:05:48.520 --> 03:05:53.680
They believe for him his team still got two extra turrets while this is all happening

03:05:53.920 --> 03:05:59.060
But yeah, he was having a lot of fun there. He was looking at using this for if down for the escape

03:05:59.060 --> 03:06:02.780
He was like wow, actually, I'm very close to killing Ben

03:06:02.780 --> 03:06:06.340
Yeah, I'm very close to killing anyone that's near me in the end

03:06:06.340 --> 03:06:10.640
They smite him out of the Herald to kill him and it's nice for Viper to pick up another kill

03:06:10.640 --> 03:06:14.520
But honestly, I don't think this really changes the game for HLE

03:06:14.520 --> 03:06:19.500
Like you just have those two out of them for days. You're able to just continue with this control on the top side

03:06:19.500 --> 03:06:23.840
And it's not like there was any objectives here for BLG to pick up off the back of us

03:06:23.840 --> 03:06:27.120
Hey, Charlie in fact are the ones that are sitting around looking for pics

03:06:27.320 --> 03:06:33.440
Well on is now potentially in some trouble but does grand exit the situation here second without the mobility of the Rakan is not

03:06:33.440 --> 03:06:34.560
Going to be out of chase after him

03:06:34.560 --> 03:06:40.640
However, he does and just walks around the red pit in order to get on top of him make a cone available

03:06:40.640 --> 03:06:46.480
So he feels very very safe and look at how far forward HLE a position. It is kind of absurd making sure

03:06:46.760 --> 03:06:49.200
BLG has no access to their own jungle. I

03:06:51.840 --> 03:06:56.440
Mean should we do like time trial comparisons because BLG one really quick

03:06:56.440 --> 03:07:00.640
But what was it 22 minutes and five seconds? That's that's what we're looking to beat

03:07:00.640 --> 03:07:05.760
That's probably not happening. HLE also let them have a dragon. Yeah

03:07:05.760 --> 03:07:10.020
But now that they've got a taste for dragons, they're doing much better.

03:07:10.020 --> 03:07:12.360
Is that why we ask all the players our favorite music?

03:07:12.360 --> 03:07:14.240
Because you need the music for the time trials.

03:07:14.240 --> 03:07:17.760
You know, if you know about the racing game, it just doesn't quite go as hard.

03:07:17.760 --> 03:07:19.560
So that is a good point.

03:07:20.760 --> 03:07:22.760
All right, death rays blowing on over.

03:07:23.860 --> 03:07:27.160
As the fire kick going to be able to delay shun here, they are on the Baron,

03:07:27.160 --> 03:07:30.360
as we can see, you're usually taking a lot of damage from it as well.

03:07:30.360 --> 03:07:33.360
Relentlessly, relentlessly, pursuing away.

03:07:33.360 --> 03:07:38.440
It's not necessarily how pursuing works, but it is going to have to go back as he has this. It's just in the bottom lane

03:07:39.480 --> 03:07:44.760
PLG are trying to ignore it and hoping that the problem goes away. I think we've all had that

03:07:45.360 --> 03:07:49.760
Sort of take was he Zayas did ignore the problem who was nice and he did go away

03:07:49.760 --> 03:07:54.280
So I think yeah, it is kind of working the other way around that's for everyone's doing the same thing

03:07:54.280 --> 03:08:00.440
Yeah, yeah, I mean this is at the big powers fight down you when you get that warm-ups on top of your heart still

03:08:00.440 --> 03:08:07.240
It's it gets really difficult to do anything on the map now for BLG because the the Mundo is going to be

03:08:08.000 --> 03:08:15.520
Relentless pressure and so HLE can return to this Baron because Mundo just goes straight on back

03:08:16.520 --> 03:08:23.920
Pushing pushing and meanwhile the rest of the team will control all this vision around the Baron and if you step in

03:08:23.920 --> 03:08:26.480
then they will punish you.

03:08:26.480 --> 03:08:29.120
But it's also because Zaze just gets the step up,

03:08:29.120 --> 03:08:31.680
tank all the damage from Nite and the tower,

03:08:31.680 --> 03:08:34.480
step away for a couple seconds and heal it all back up

03:08:34.480 --> 03:08:36.320
as the wave comes and then do it again.

03:08:36.320 --> 03:08:37.720
And then gets to buy Warden's mail

03:08:37.720 --> 03:08:39.800
so that he can be more durable in the teamfights

03:08:39.800 --> 03:08:41.640
because it's by-fit that has the task

03:08:41.640 --> 03:08:44.200
of trying to kill Demundo.

03:08:44.200 --> 03:08:46.640
Zeca, we'll take some damage from Nite here.

03:08:46.640 --> 03:08:49.640
This mail, two items have been completed.

03:08:49.640 --> 03:08:50.920
Nite is still somewhat strong,

03:08:50.920 --> 03:08:52.840
but I mean the same two items have been done for Zeca.

03:08:52.840 --> 03:08:54.640
He's got a cute pink rod as well.

03:08:54.640 --> 03:08:58.320
And he is doing a bit of extra damage.

03:08:58.320 --> 03:09:00.160
Has been able to keep up in level somewhat.

03:09:00.160 --> 03:09:04.120
Here hasn't been as much of the experience advantages

03:09:04.120 --> 03:09:05.880
that we've seen in the previous games

03:09:05.880 --> 03:09:09.040
outside of Kanavi here over Shun perhaps.

03:09:09.040 --> 03:09:11.880
But let's see, this game has slowed down.

03:09:11.880 --> 03:09:14.240
And I feel like that definitely benefits BLG.

03:09:14.240 --> 03:09:17.880
Even if HLE have a composition that scales beautifully,

03:09:17.880 --> 03:09:20.120
I think BLG needs some time to breathe in this one.

03:09:20.120 --> 03:09:24.680
says does about a trillion damage to the inhibitor and now let's wait for the

03:09:24.680 --> 03:09:30.520
warm-ups to kick in as well and he doesn't care anymore yeah I don't think

03:09:30.520 --> 03:09:38.040
he can't to begin all right he's gonna be channeling the back I he's not doing

03:09:38.040 --> 03:09:41.960
that to heal I think he's doing that to purchase as you know we're gonna try and

03:09:41.960 --> 03:09:45.280
get some damage on the shun on comes over here and the kennel is gonna make

03:09:45.280 --> 03:09:49.200
it's gonna kind of do anything about the red buff.

03:09:49.200 --> 03:09:52.160
Yeah, I mean, I guess BLG are just gonna full send it

03:09:52.160 --> 03:09:54.380
for the dragon soul fight,

03:09:54.380 --> 03:09:56.920
but HLE don't even have to full commit to that.

03:09:56.920 --> 03:09:59.000
They can just take the Baron if you commit your resources

03:09:59.000 --> 03:10:00.760
to go in and try and contest that.

03:10:00.760 --> 03:10:03.640
It's just, the options are really off the table now

03:10:03.640 --> 03:10:04.480
for BLG.

03:10:04.480 --> 03:10:07.220
The spirit visage is gonna coincide with

03:10:07.220 --> 03:10:09.080
Chemtech's soul as well.

03:10:09.080 --> 03:10:11.720
I don't wanna, I don't wanna even come around

03:10:11.720 --> 03:10:13.720
with this Hundo's gonna be crazy.

03:10:13.720 --> 03:10:18.160
Oh, it's over under on this never die in this game

03:10:20.280 --> 03:10:24.880
It's it's it's gonna die one time. I don't think so under one time

03:10:24.880 --> 03:10:29.680
I was about to say well if he dives the fountain and then I'm like hang on would that even be enough?

03:10:29.680 --> 03:10:34.520
No, cuz I don't think like Viper has three items. I still don't think he kills him

03:10:34.520 --> 03:10:38.640
He does have one of the good items that is yes now. Let's see. He's level

03:10:38.640 --> 03:10:43.780
Five Mundo's of BLG go kill that Mundo, sacrifice the Baron, don't care about it.

03:10:43.780 --> 03:10:45.220
Nexus from Mundo trade!

03:10:45.220 --> 03:10:45.720
Get him.

03:10:46.220 --> 03:10:47.920
That's gonna ruin our overruns though.

03:10:48.320 --> 03:10:50.860
Alright, HLE now clearing out vision once again.

03:10:51.420 --> 03:10:54.160
I think Kenavi will be able to grab this ward towards the back of this pit.

03:10:54.160 --> 03:10:57.000
Shen getting control vision down,

03:10:57.500 --> 03:11:01.000
but HLE just kinda making the map so incredibly dark,

03:11:01.000 --> 03:11:05.400
and Kenavi sprinting around on, not able to get on top of him whatsoever.

03:11:05.400 --> 03:11:11.320
And all right, HLE, still playing it relatively slow, trying to hold this game in a position

03:11:11.320 --> 03:11:15.620
that they like, and obviously based on their composition, they can do this pretty comfortably.

03:11:15.620 --> 03:11:17.200
Three minutes on that ChemTek Soul.

03:11:17.200 --> 03:11:19.200
Here's what you do.

03:11:19.200 --> 03:11:24.960
You hold them in this game for as long as they held you in the first two games.

03:11:24.960 --> 03:11:29.760
So that you, out of, after this game, then you've been winning for as much time.

03:11:29.760 --> 03:11:30.760
How about that?

03:11:30.760 --> 03:11:32.600
Oh, you're a genius.

03:11:32.600 --> 03:11:35.600
Did that even get to the longest game here at MSI?

03:11:35.600 --> 03:11:39.600
The first two are so quick!

03:11:39.600 --> 03:11:41.600
It's a very doable, is what we're saying.

03:11:41.600 --> 03:11:44.600
Alright, let's find out. The Impale is going to go wide.

03:11:44.600 --> 03:11:49.600
And yeah, just walks to the back and eats a wood.

03:11:49.600 --> 03:11:51.600
Yeah, I mean, they can just hold them here.

03:11:51.600 --> 03:11:54.600
As we've gone over, the scaling is so good for HLE.

03:11:54.600 --> 03:11:57.600
Oh dear, well, the snare is going to connect.

03:11:57.600 --> 03:12:00.600
The Chun is just taking so much damage.

03:12:00.600 --> 03:12:04.280
the pillar finally coming down on the arcade storm, chasing, chasing, chasing,

03:12:04.280 --> 03:12:09.000
but Shun still needs to go back and HLE should be able to just take this baron.

03:12:09.000 --> 03:12:11.320
It's even a teleport from Zass there committing to this one.

03:12:11.320 --> 03:12:13.640
Yeah, the silver line name was that Guma Yushi wasn't there.

03:12:13.640 --> 03:12:15.400
The big massive storm cloud.

03:12:15.400 --> 03:12:16.200
Oh god.

03:12:16.200 --> 03:12:17.800
Everyone in HLE is on baron.

03:12:17.800 --> 03:12:19.240
Look at Zass's health bar.

03:12:19.960 --> 03:12:22.120
That's too many health bars.

03:12:22.120 --> 03:12:23.400
Count those bars.

03:12:24.600 --> 03:12:28.360
That looks like a meat-along ruler.

03:12:28.360 --> 03:12:31.640
You know, it's like that's too many of the little parts.

03:12:31.640 --> 03:12:33.840
That's actually the barcode for apple juice in the shop.

03:12:33.840 --> 03:12:36.240
Oh, that's a thing.

03:12:36.240 --> 03:12:37.080
Oh, OK.

03:12:37.080 --> 03:12:40.400
Well, maybe someone try scanning it and seeing what comes up.

03:12:40.400 --> 03:12:41.920
You never know.

03:12:41.920 --> 03:12:42.440
All right.

03:12:42.440 --> 03:12:46.440
Canavi is going to get back on over as they get themselves a baron.

03:12:46.440 --> 03:12:50.240
They can then use the baron to make sure that they claim the soul.

03:12:50.520 --> 03:12:53.600
Yeah, or possibly even just win the game.

03:12:53.600 --> 03:12:55.680
Honestly, they OK.

03:12:55.680 --> 03:12:57.000
Should have been back again.

03:12:57.000 --> 03:12:58.560
Yeah, putting the kennel one more time.

03:12:58.560 --> 03:13:01.840
That is not where scorpions like to go as delight.

03:13:01.840 --> 03:13:04.240
Yeah, I will be out of help holding it in place.

03:13:04.240 --> 03:13:05.160
There is the Firekicks.

03:13:05.160 --> 03:13:06.800
Zeyas grabs it with a briefcase.

03:13:06.800 --> 03:13:08.600
And the scone on you, there was nowhere to go.

03:13:08.600 --> 03:13:10.320
LPL junglers are dying for crab.

03:13:10.320 --> 03:13:13.840
What a beautiful thing to say is BLG give everything

03:13:13.840 --> 03:13:16.360
to get that little spot of vision in the river.

03:13:16.360 --> 03:13:19.560
But it does mean that HLE just immediately moved to bot side.

03:13:19.560 --> 03:13:20.760
The wave is coming.

03:13:20.760 --> 03:13:25.120
Mundo exists in the mid lane, so BLG are petrified.

03:13:25.120 --> 03:13:27.260
And, uh, Cannabi exists on this bottom lane as well.

03:13:27.260 --> 03:13:30.260
I mean, he took the first two games personally, and I do not blame him.

03:13:30.420 --> 03:13:34.820
It was a monstrous performance from BLG, and this must feel very cathartic

03:13:35.120 --> 03:13:37.120
to be able to finally get some revenge.

03:13:37.660 --> 03:13:39.760
As he is just taking a lot of damage here.

03:13:39.760 --> 03:13:41.860
Can take some tribute to try and get that health bar back again.

03:13:41.860 --> 03:13:43.860
And speaking of health bars, here comes Zayas.

03:13:44.360 --> 03:13:46.260
And this is going to be the base broken.

03:13:46.260 --> 03:13:48.620
Gumiuchi able to freely hit this turn.

03:13:48.620 --> 03:13:51.220
The arcane storm is chasing down BLG.

03:13:52.060 --> 03:13:54.160
Gumiuchi's so incredibly far up here.

03:13:54.160 --> 03:13:55.960
He's got a lot of front-liners to stand behind.

03:13:55.960 --> 03:13:59.240
He's decided not to, as two inhibitor turrets are gonna fall.

03:13:59.240 --> 03:14:02.080
Two inhibitors probably to fall at the same time.

03:14:02.080 --> 03:14:05.120
BLG haven't been able to take a turret so far this game.

03:14:05.120 --> 03:14:07.400
As HLE moved to an 8,000 gold lead,

03:14:07.400 --> 03:14:09.080
13 seconds on the dragon,

03:14:09.080 --> 03:14:10.840
and HLE can just move back and grab it

03:14:10.840 --> 03:14:12.600
before spending their mountains of gold.

03:14:12.600 --> 03:14:14.720
Yeah, BLG's only hope to have to make this play now

03:14:14.720 --> 03:14:17.280
before the dragon gets here, before that soul comes in.

03:14:17.280 --> 03:14:19.920
Otherwise, HLE will just complete.

03:14:19.920 --> 03:14:20.760
Oh, sure.

03:14:20.760 --> 03:14:22.920
Oh, no, the Kennel is so perfectly placed.

03:14:22.920 --> 03:14:26.360
He does manage to drive through it, is on with the quickness, not able to do anything,

03:14:26.360 --> 03:14:27.840
as Delight just blocks it.

03:14:27.840 --> 03:14:31.680
Bin looking for a flank angle, but HLE, they pick that one up as well,

03:14:31.680 --> 03:14:34.720
and Guru Yushi's just been a typewriter over BLG.

03:14:34.720 --> 03:14:39.400
Bin has to flash to get over the canal, and now Zayus, where did he come from?

03:14:39.400 --> 03:14:41.720
Well, it is going to be Bin locking down the kill on the Kanavi.

03:14:41.720 --> 03:14:45.320
That is the smite now dead, but the top laner is also down.

03:14:45.320 --> 03:14:47.800
HLE, I don't think they're actually able to lead though,

03:14:47.800 --> 03:14:50.080
because that will mean sacrificing the dragon.

03:14:50.080 --> 03:14:53.520
Yeah, I'm pretty sure HLE can just move over and pick it up anyway.

03:14:53.520 --> 03:14:57.360
Shun, it feels very difficult to enter with half HP.

03:14:57.360 --> 03:14:58.960
Things are quite dark, are they not?

03:14:58.960 --> 03:15:00.640
Yeah, and Zeke has kind of hit me in the face.

03:15:00.640 --> 03:15:02.880
Oh, Zeke did not go to the dragon.

03:15:02.880 --> 03:15:04.440
Ha ha ha.

03:15:05.080 --> 03:15:08.000
All right, well, that is another arcane storm,

03:15:08.000 --> 03:15:11.480
as Zeke is still just chasing down three people.

03:15:11.480 --> 03:15:15.360
Zeke will move in, night over here as well as the briefcase is going to land.

03:15:15.360 --> 03:15:18.040
And Gumiishi, he is the one that's now jungling,

03:15:18.040 --> 03:15:21.320
as Kanabi is dead for another 11 seconds as well.

03:15:21.320 --> 03:15:23.840
He's got a randuance when he does come back,

03:15:23.840 --> 03:15:26.320
and HLE just feeling phenomenal.

03:15:26.320 --> 03:15:27.720
The Spirit Visage was completed.

03:15:27.720 --> 03:15:32.480
Zekker just bounces on top of Shun with that blast cone,

03:15:32.480 --> 03:15:34.640
and that is going to be the soul picked up,

03:15:34.640 --> 03:15:39.240
and Zekker removing the soul of Shun here in his jungle.

03:15:39.240 --> 03:15:41.600
Yeah, Shun wanted to eat a little bit.

03:15:41.600 --> 03:15:43.520
Just a little jungle camp, please.

03:15:43.520 --> 03:15:45.800
And Knight slaps his hand away.

03:15:45.800 --> 03:15:50.320
The million was dead. The light is just going to be caught backing in a place where he's not really allowed to

03:15:51.320 --> 03:15:56.760
Yeah, I forget some more gold. That's he's probably not really gonna

03:15:57.520 --> 03:15:59.520
appreciate that much

03:15:59.920 --> 03:16:05.640
You're always happy to get it. It does like he won't get to use it for very odd if you can keep making pics

03:16:07.840 --> 03:16:09.840
Something happen I

03:16:09.840 --> 03:16:16.400
I like that I could see your brain trying to figure it out and as I went down every road there was an yeah

03:16:16.520 --> 03:16:20.680
Yeah, it was just actually turning in real time. Yeah, and I saw them book

03:16:22.640 --> 03:16:25.500
My watch is broken. Well H. Lee

03:16:26.640 --> 03:16:32.720
Back to it once again after they've spent that money is going to usually on three and a half items right now the quickness friend

03:16:32.720 --> 03:16:38.040
whole canadian position and he's wondering why, as okay looking for Zas as

03:16:38.040 --> 03:16:41.960
Ingo's been trying to find a flank angle, gets a mega going to get himself a heck

03:16:41.960 --> 03:16:45.640
out of there. The question is, is he out? The subjugator is now running on at the

03:16:45.640 --> 03:16:49.480
Renekton, his own speaking of which is going to take a full culling to the face

03:16:49.480 --> 03:16:54.360
and the arcane storm is just terrifying, completely blocks them off and Zas just

03:16:54.360 --> 03:17:00.920
walks in to four people and selects Viper as his target. He'll kill everyone!

03:17:00.920 --> 03:17:03.960
Gumi-Yushi thought that he might have been able to take down the Scarner there.

03:17:03.960 --> 03:17:06.920
Say it's Delphi. Does not move.

03:17:06.920 --> 03:17:12.920
He teleports underneath the turret and will be able to take these Nexus turrets as well.

03:17:12.920 --> 03:17:18.920
Look at that, Delphi. If you can, we need better resolution to see how much Healths Airs has.

03:17:18.920 --> 03:17:22.920
And HLLE come alive finally here in Dage Art.

03:17:22.920 --> 03:17:29.920
Hey, HLLE are not done. Yes, unlist desk. Break it down.

03:17:29.920 --> 03:17:33.920
What is there to break down this? Mundo was huge!

03:17:33.920 --> 03:17:40.420
Absolutely insane. Talk about taking over the game from start to finish.

03:17:40.420 --> 03:17:44.420
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, the Zayas pick of the Mundo, I thought was really, really smart.

03:17:44.420 --> 03:17:46.920
Mundo and Trundle on the 4-5, I thought were brilliant.

03:17:46.920 --> 03:17:50.920
I thought that BLG did have a good response by moving the mel towards midlanes.

03:17:50.920 --> 03:17:56.920
You have enough consistent damage with this guy to, in theory, kill them, but they got so far ahead.

03:17:56.920 --> 03:18:01.800
They were just destroying them even early on with the comp that I thought outscaled heavily.

03:18:01.800 --> 03:18:04.000
Yeah, and they set it up super well, right?

03:18:04.000 --> 03:18:10.000
They were like, look, we've been getting crushed in by this jungle support duo.

03:18:10.000 --> 03:18:15.480
So they did set up for an early invade on the bot side, off of their pushing pressure,

03:18:15.480 --> 03:18:17.760
and then spread that across the map.

03:18:18.320 --> 03:18:21.800
I really just think that they wanted to slow the game down here,

03:18:21.800 --> 03:18:26.160
and once Kanabi was able to get some early counter-jungling off,

03:18:26.160 --> 03:18:28.760
They really just controlled the game.

03:18:28.760 --> 03:18:31.720
Yes, they outscaled, but the total kills and pace of game

03:18:31.720 --> 03:18:33.640
was so much slower here in game three

03:18:33.640 --> 03:18:35.000
than it was in the first two-in.

03:18:35.000 --> 03:18:35.920
Yeah, absolutely.

03:18:35.920 --> 03:18:37.000
Zeyu's in the end.

03:18:37.000 --> 03:18:40.760
The Mundo pick was giga, even with BLG flexing the Mel

03:18:40.760 --> 03:18:41.760
to the top lane.

03:18:41.760 --> 03:18:44.600
I think the draft was kind of already cooked.

03:18:44.600 --> 03:18:46.200
Yeah, flexing the Mel from the bot lane.

03:18:46.200 --> 03:18:47.880
Maybe it would have been better.

03:18:47.880 --> 03:18:50.720
So I think they would have been extra screwed

03:18:50.720 --> 03:18:54.520
if they had double AP Skarner into that Mundo.

03:18:54.520 --> 03:18:55.720
Skarner went back into that Mundo.

03:18:55.720 --> 03:18:58.520
You want something to say about the three Giants belt?

03:18:58.520 --> 03:19:21.720
I was just excited because I thought, oh my god, he's actually going to do the Warmogs rush and play Sidelane because if you go triple Giants belt, when you complete your Warmogs thereafter, you immediately activate the Warmogs and you're basically unstoppable in a 1v1, you just take infinite trades, you lose 70% of your health, they lose half, you win that trade because you're full health on the next wave and you just force it, and if you go unstoppable on Sidelane, he goes triple Giants a lot, I'm like, oh my god, this is happening, I don't even have a hard skill.

03:19:21.720 --> 03:19:24.720
Which he could have just bought before doing the triple Giants.

03:19:24.720 --> 03:19:26.960
What's going on? He's baiting you on purpose.

03:19:26.960 --> 03:19:31.560
It was interesting also in this matchup because we did have a quote from Bin at the beginning of the day.

03:19:31.560 --> 03:19:36.620
I don't want no jungle intervention. I want to I want to face you head on. You think he's gonna change his words?

03:19:37.520 --> 03:19:39.520
Definitely not.

03:19:39.520 --> 03:19:42.660
Bin lives and dies by whatever he says. He doesn't take these things back.

03:19:42.660 --> 03:19:47.320
Also, I think like the greater game state was a bigger problem, which enabled Zayus to be honest,

03:19:47.320 --> 03:19:49.760
but like it wasn't just about that at that one if you want to answer it.

03:19:49.760 --> 03:19:52.960
Yeah, I mean, I thought the Mundo was a great pick. I agree with that.

03:19:52.960 --> 03:19:58.240
I also thought they spread their map pressure really well the biggest difference to me again with just it shun and on

03:19:58.240 --> 03:20:03.080
We're not able to really take over the game early partially due draft partially due to prep

03:20:03.080 --> 03:20:08.360
I want to point out the early objectives in this game to their prior games because in this game

03:20:08.360 --> 03:20:11.360
It's only took their first dragon of the series

03:20:12.120 --> 03:20:14.320
And you can see in games one

03:20:18.320 --> 03:20:19.920
Yeah

03:20:19.920 --> 03:20:21.920
So, you know, it's a very

03:20:23.480 --> 03:20:28.080
Yeah, it's a it's a very stark difference from this game, right?

03:20:28.080 --> 03:20:32.480
And that was the big difference maker to me because you shut down this kind of engine of shenan on

03:20:32.920 --> 03:20:37.240
Night was pinned to his turret that also makes a huge difference if he doesn't have mid Pryo

03:20:37.240 --> 03:20:40.520
And then you just have this unkillable Mundo in the top lane

03:20:40.520 --> 03:20:41.280
I mean, it was great

03:20:41.280 --> 03:20:45.480
You have Kanabi on trunble which starters can never win one you want and you have two pushing lanes, right?

03:20:45.480 --> 03:20:46.560
You know Mundo is gonna lose early

03:20:46.560 --> 03:20:50.600
You're gonna be getting pushed in but they had the melee illusion pushing in and bought their pushing in mid

03:20:50.600 --> 03:20:54.780
And that allowed them to constantly invade that allowed them to always be on the front foot

03:20:54.780 --> 03:20:59.200
And I felt like it was a super smart draft. It was really well played. I want some close games

03:20:59.200 --> 03:21:04.880
Where the I was expecting because we have had three games now. It is not a 30 it went the other way

03:21:04.880 --> 03:21:08.160
But it is three stumps. I totally agree with you

03:21:08.160 --> 03:21:12.800
I don't want to walk away from here and having seen five games and none of them were close in the game, right?

03:21:12.800 --> 03:21:15.200
That's like monkeys paw is curling.

03:21:15.200 --> 03:21:18.040
I do want to call out HLE's mental, Emily.

03:21:18.040 --> 03:21:20.200
This is something that we talked about a little bit

03:21:20.200 --> 03:21:21.840
that we were worried about, right?

03:21:21.840 --> 03:21:25.200
You brought up the example of Road to MSI last year.

03:21:25.200 --> 03:21:28.040
So it's just, and obviously a few pieces have changed, right?

03:21:28.040 --> 03:21:31.240
But I think the big thing for me is last year,

03:21:31.240 --> 03:21:35.000
Road to MSI, we did see this team get reversed up by Genji

03:21:35.000 --> 03:21:38.160
and then immediately lose to T103.

03:21:38.160 --> 03:21:40.480
And it's been something that has been talked about

03:21:40.480 --> 03:21:46.080
in the community about this HLE team, so if they were able to pull off the reverse sweep here,

03:21:46.080 --> 03:21:49.440
we already talked about how it would be historic because they haven't been able to do it,

03:21:49.440 --> 03:21:55.520
and BLG haven't been reverse swept, but it would be a massive step forward for this team's mental

03:21:55.520 --> 03:22:00.880
compared to prior best of fives where they have been in danger of getting swept.

03:22:00.880 --> 03:22:05.280
And seeing the player cams behind the scenes there for HLE, they look pretty calm. I don't

03:22:05.280 --> 03:22:09.440
feel like they were that flustered, which after, it's obviously easier to look that way after

03:22:09.440 --> 03:22:15.760
win, but after the way the first two games went to then have this very slow steady methodical win

03:22:15.760 --> 03:22:21.840
is quite encouraging. The players on this team, Zeyu and Guma, have multiple world championships

03:22:21.840 --> 03:22:27.680
each, so they should be able to kind of pull anybody else through any type of nerves. I mean,

03:22:27.680 --> 03:22:31.200
even Zeca with the world championship, they have the experience to be able to do it. They just have

03:22:31.200 --> 03:22:36.160
to do it here in front of their home crowd. So much was started by just the early pressure,

03:22:36.160 --> 03:22:40.880
right? We saw Shen and on running the early game, the very, very early game in those first

03:22:40.880 --> 03:22:46.080
two games, Kanavi really showing more of his signature style. I'm seeing all the building blocks,

03:22:46.080 --> 03:22:53.520
but give me the exact recipe for an HLE win in game four. I mean, good drafts and continue to,

03:22:53.520 --> 03:22:58.400
like, when you look at, I think WE did have a really good comparison, the poor beating BLG,

03:22:58.400 --> 03:23:03.280
right? Where you do kind of funnel gold into your jungle, you do destabilize the mid lane,

03:23:03.280 --> 03:23:08.780
You make it so that Shenanon can't take over the map and you make it so that Knight doesn't constantly have mid pressure

03:23:08.780 --> 03:23:14.700
I think you can do that during draft. This was a really excellent draft for HLE, especially on the 4-5

03:23:14.700 --> 03:23:19.840
This draft was luxury because you got pushing lanes, you got winning jungle, and you got outscaling

03:23:19.840 --> 03:23:22.480
I don't think you can always get that. That is a huge draft gap

03:23:22.480 --> 03:23:27.960
But I do think you can draft for winning jungle matchup and pushing lanes in bot to play around to allow

03:23:27.960 --> 03:23:29.360
Kanavi to be the one on the front foot

03:23:29.360 --> 03:23:32.080
So that is what I would be focusing on if I was the HLE coach

03:23:32.080 --> 03:23:36.580
I love it BLG selects first pick HLE pick blue side any surprises. Nope

03:23:36.580 --> 03:23:40.900
I feel like those are the two best choices it generally speaking in the top lane counterfeit hasn't mattered that much

03:23:40.900 --> 03:23:44.580
It's more about trying to secure bought power which you can do oftentimes with early power

03:23:45.260 --> 03:23:51.120
When no matter no little I mean ludo did matter, but I don't necessarily feel like that was a fifth pick

03:23:51.120 --> 03:23:56.000
Yeah, we're gonna concrush you with the final counterfeit strategy. It's true. They crushed him nonetheless

03:23:56.000 --> 03:24:03.620
We're back in it. No clean sweep for BLG a reverse sweep perhaps on the horizon. We'll see what happens in game four

03:24:26.000 --> 03:24:28.000
You're a

03:24:46.000 --> 03:24:48.000
Alright, it's your funeral

03:24:51.000 --> 03:24:54.500
Hey kid, your bear's got better instincts than most parents

03:24:56.000 --> 03:25:03.000
This is salvation.

03:25:03.000 --> 03:25:14.000
A moment of silence for the recently departed.

03:25:14.000 --> 03:25:16.000
Welcome to Argyne.

03:25:16.000 --> 03:25:18.000
Now live in Shanghai.

03:25:18.000 --> 03:25:23.000
It's your time to step into the rare Argyne world.

03:25:23.000 --> 03:25:27.320
It's absolutely the wildest Argin Carnivore you will ever experience.

03:25:27.320 --> 03:25:32.000
Follow an immersive Argin on Axe for the latest show update.

03:27:53.000 --> 03:28:12.720
Welcome back ladies and gentlemen MSI 2026 is finally there is a series slowly starting

03:28:12.720 --> 03:28:14.400
to appear on our hands.

03:28:14.400 --> 03:28:19.680
However, what we want is a back and forth, a little bit of a slug fest and maybe not

03:28:19.680 --> 03:28:21.000
just stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp

03:28:21.000 --> 03:28:22.000
stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp

03:28:22.000 --> 03:28:26.240
back-and-forth series we need to lower it to back-and-forth game, it's the Melbourne

03:28:26.240 --> 03:28:30.000
Glacier that we don't have right. Got it okay okay someone forward that to the

03:28:30.000 --> 03:28:35.840
teams it's not just yeah just cloverings on both sides because that's what it's

03:28:35.840 --> 03:28:39.560
been so far I think you know BLG having a little bit of some whoopsies in the

03:28:39.560 --> 03:28:43.560
draft like blind pick Renekton often punishable especially by a player like

03:28:43.560 --> 03:28:47.040
Zayas I don't think they were expecting HLE to be able to wake up that quickly

03:28:47.040 --> 03:28:51.880
though. I'm gonna be kind of mad if it just is another start like if BLG then

03:28:51.880 --> 03:28:57.080
stop this game and then we're just done here. Yeah. Oh no. That would feel so empty. Yeah.

03:28:57.080 --> 03:29:01.400
Oh please. Don't throw that into existence. Now that you've said it, maybe it's not going to happen.

03:29:01.400 --> 03:29:04.760
You know, sometimes when you think about something, you're like, this is exactly what's

03:29:04.760 --> 03:29:08.920
going to happen. Hopefully that's how it's going to work because I'm also hoping for either

03:29:08.920 --> 03:29:13.240
some silver scrapes like HLE. They're allowed one more stomp as long as that gives us the close

03:29:13.240 --> 03:29:18.520
game game five. I'd rather have just two bangers back to that. I mean, yeah, obviously that would

03:29:18.520 --> 03:29:24.280
would be the best. But I mean, the step below that is at least HLE wins and brings us to

03:29:24.280 --> 03:29:29.360
the five games. But if BLG just smashed this one, like Toby said, that is that is definitely

03:29:29.360 --> 03:29:34.600
not what we're looking for. But that is what BLG want to get themselves a position in the

03:29:34.600 --> 03:29:39.480
final and then just get to watch a couple more best of fives and see who is going to

03:29:39.480 --> 03:29:40.480
become in their way.

03:29:40.480 --> 03:29:47.080
And that was really nicely done from HLE, you know, investing early, grabbing the

03:29:47.080 --> 03:29:54.480
victor, and being able to utilize their scaling very effectively. Plus, it never

03:29:54.480 --> 03:29:57.480
really was answered. So let's get into the draft for the next one.

03:29:57.480 --> 03:30:00.200
Yeah, I also think they caught BLG with the pan stand a little bit. I think they

03:30:00.200 --> 03:30:03.440
wanted to flex that scarner, potentially, to this board roll. But you can't really

03:30:03.440 --> 03:30:06.640
play it into the Lucian Milio, and then you just stuck with it now in the jungle,

03:30:06.640 --> 03:30:10.000
and they go, go! Jungle looks right here. Mundo looks right here. We're in a great

03:30:10.000 --> 03:30:19.000
spot. So now coming into this, do HLE kind of find BLG in that half point four or is it going to be BLG who are able to wiggle themselves out of that?

03:30:19.000 --> 03:30:25.000
Well, we'll just have to find out as the bands have started to come through. Very similar ones on the side of HLE.

03:30:25.000 --> 03:30:32.000
Assuming this is going to be finished up with a buy band, the Nocturne going to be taken away and the Poppy is gone once again.

03:30:32.000 --> 03:30:38.000
Still focus from HLE on towards on though and I think that's where my focus is going to be moving through this draft phase.

03:30:38.000 --> 03:30:41.280
BLG have looked best when he can leave lane and play elsewhere.

03:30:41.280 --> 03:30:44.580
Get his recon is now gone, the bar is consistently taken away,

03:30:44.580 --> 03:30:47.580
you've gotten rid of Rel, Camille, Chen,

03:30:47.580 --> 03:30:50.380
so many of these picks that he's been phenomenal on,

03:30:50.380 --> 03:30:53.120
and moving around the map, do not exist anymore.

03:30:53.120 --> 03:30:56.680
So for BLG, how do they try to lean into that playstyle,

03:30:56.680 --> 03:30:59.600
and do we get more of those mages to support that playstyle?

03:30:59.600 --> 03:31:03.040
What I want to see are some mages that look for kills,

03:31:03.040 --> 03:31:08.040
like Ari, Aurora, Silas mid, maybe come out.

03:31:08.440 --> 03:31:12.120
You know, the blocky, but I want them to really get in there

03:31:12.120 --> 03:31:13.600
and get their hands dirty.

03:31:15.200 --> 03:31:17.000
So let's see what we actually get to.

03:31:17.000 --> 03:31:19.160
I feel like now is about the time in Fearless

03:31:19.160 --> 03:31:20.840
where we start to get in there.

03:31:20.840 --> 03:31:23.480
It's also about the time where we're going to have

03:31:23.480 --> 03:31:25.120
a little bit of an issue with the draft.

03:31:25.120 --> 03:31:26.560
That's why we jumped out of it.

03:31:26.560 --> 03:31:28.160
I like how you were talking about on,

03:31:28.160 --> 03:31:30.560
while the game was talking about off.

03:31:30.560 --> 03:31:32.000
We do have, yeah, a little bit of an issue,

03:31:32.000 --> 03:31:39.000
But a couple of minutes is probably how long it's gonna take, and we'll just get back straight into the draft and see what these final bands are going to be.

03:31:39.000 --> 03:31:47.300
I don't think we see by this whole series, ah, the Yashun and Kanavia both too good at it, so that one was a guarantee for one of the final bands.

03:31:47.300 --> 03:32:00.900
And so that does give us a bit of a look as to what the first pick might be, but because we're so deep in Fearless and so many of the top tier picks have gone, especially a lot of the blind picks, are we at, like, what territory are we at for first picks?

03:32:00.900 --> 03:32:03.420
Well, the one that interests me is the top lane picks.

03:32:03.420 --> 03:32:05.580
Because honestly, we haven't seen a huge amount of this battle

03:32:05.580 --> 03:32:06.940
back and forth between Ben and Zeiss.

03:32:06.940 --> 03:32:10.260
Like, the Mundo kind of got the better of it thanks to the craft.

03:32:10.260 --> 03:32:13.220
And we've seen like some focus from HLH in the soft side.

03:32:13.220 --> 03:32:14.940
But the game has already been decided

03:32:14.940 --> 03:32:18.020
before these two Titans of the top lane have managed to tussle it out.

03:32:18.020 --> 03:32:23.020
And I want to see them finally have that 1v1 that we've been promised.

03:32:23.020 --> 03:32:24.700
Yeah, keep everybody out of it.

03:32:24.700 --> 03:32:28.580
Honestly, though, with the ways that these games have been going,

03:32:28.580 --> 03:32:30.920
I think we're gonna get a lot of extra visitors.

03:32:30.920 --> 03:32:34.500
We've had a lot of jungle and support

03:32:34.500 --> 03:32:35.940
has determined so much.

03:32:35.940 --> 03:32:38.180
I mean, this previous game,

03:32:38.180 --> 03:32:40.900
getting the early invade there for Kenobi

03:32:40.900 --> 03:32:43.020
and then the flash at the dragon fight

03:32:43.020 --> 03:32:45.620
and they never let control back.

03:32:45.620 --> 03:32:47.500
Having pushing lanes to do that with,

03:32:47.500 --> 03:32:50.420
you know, pushing mid lane and pushing bottom lane

03:32:50.420 --> 03:32:51.700
utilize so effectively.

03:32:51.700 --> 03:32:55.540
So let's, I mean, we're gonna have to wait

03:32:55.540 --> 03:32:56.700
until it gets right back up

03:32:56.700 --> 03:32:58.220
because like you're saying Atlas,

03:32:58.220 --> 03:33:02.480
getting down into these roles, this kind of middle ground

03:33:02.480 --> 03:33:04.980
for Fearless, is into the like, ooh,

03:33:04.980 --> 03:33:06.980
we're gonna have a lot more skirmish heavy stuff,

03:33:06.980 --> 03:33:09.860
I feel like, you know, Zin, pretty high priority

03:33:09.860 --> 03:33:12.180
at this stage, and then you can get like, Pantheon,

03:33:12.180 --> 03:33:13.660
and then if you're in this Zin territory,

03:33:13.660 --> 03:33:16.020
do they wanna pull out Kozaks as answers?

03:33:16.020 --> 03:33:18.100
Cause both of these players have had some of these

03:33:18.100 --> 03:33:21.780
assassin opportunities, so I feel like there's a lot

03:33:21.780 --> 03:33:23.820
of fun in each of the roles at the moment

03:33:23.820 --> 03:33:27.500
where you can still kind of flex into individual flavor.

03:33:27.500 --> 03:33:33.140
Yeah, that's where we're going to be getting to some of the more cool, interesting tight picks,

03:33:33.140 --> 03:33:38.340
even though we've had quite a few of them already, the Mundo coming out from Zayas is definitely a great example of that.

03:33:39.100 --> 03:33:44.780
I'm hoping that maybe we'll get something brand, brand new, like not just a Vel'Koz again, even though the skin is fantastic.

03:33:45.980 --> 03:33:48.500
Yes, I do just won 5-pit of play T-Mail again.

03:33:49.500 --> 03:33:51.340
That is basically where I'm at.

03:33:51.340 --> 03:34:09.340
for the jungle though. I think things like the zin, the qiana, the poppy, all super high priority, like especially for shun. You're looking at the mid lane, we already kind of touched on things like the arii that I think can set up quite well. And I do think like coming back into that mid jungle duo can lend a lot of credence to HLE.

03:34:09.340 --> 03:34:14.300
Like this was their stock standard play like how well second can I be we're working in tandem together

03:34:14.420 --> 03:34:17.280
It has been a little bit disrupted by BLG

03:34:17.280 --> 03:34:21.100
But if HLE want to push us that game number five, I feel like that

03:34:21.460 --> 03:34:28.400
Duo lane that combo is going to be so crucial to winning here and it sort of has been all tournament long as well

03:34:28.400 --> 03:34:34.460
It's been very interesting seeing how things have developed and I feel like it's developed into let's not play any carries anymore

03:34:34.460 --> 03:34:40.780
That is not all that interesting and it's so cool that we then get to go back to what was Viper's bread and butter

03:34:40.780 --> 03:34:48.180
Like that was what Griffin really put themselves on the map as being able to do it was play everything in sort of every role

03:34:48.180 --> 03:34:52.040
Chovy was great at playing top lane champions in the mid lane in the meantime

03:34:52.040 --> 03:34:56.440
You've got mid jungles being picked as Juelanes in the bottom side and BLG

03:34:56.660 --> 03:35:01.380
Able to leverage that power that Viper has in order to unleash bin and knight

03:35:01.380 --> 03:35:08.240
I just really does remind me of that sort of era of League of Legends and Viper really has had goombas number

03:35:08.580 --> 03:35:13.780
So far in this series, so we'll see if it does continue even in Alaska where they're losing

03:35:13.860 --> 03:35:19.340
He was the lone member on PLG, you know making some positive plays for them getting that money

03:35:19.580 --> 03:35:23.060
Getting solo kill plus then the duo kills that they were able to pick up

03:35:24.220 --> 03:35:30.300
Don't worry about the fact that it's you down and then you had a 10 billion health moondo to get through later, but

03:35:30.300 --> 03:35:33.300
the next one. Well, speaking

03:35:33.300 --> 03:35:34.300
of to the next one, let's throw

03:35:34.300 --> 03:35:35.300
it over to the analysts to see

03:35:35.300 --> 03:35:37.300
what they've made of a few bands

03:35:37.300 --> 03:35:39.300
that have come through so far.

03:35:39.300 --> 03:35:41.300
Thank you very much. We are back

03:35:41.300 --> 03:35:43.300
to chat a bit about the series

03:35:43.300 --> 03:35:45.300
while things get figured out on

03:35:45.300 --> 03:35:47.300
stage. And we're hoping for a

03:35:47.300 --> 03:35:49.300
competitive game for here. We

03:35:49.300 --> 03:35:51.300
have had three stops. We're

03:35:51.300 --> 03:35:52.300
hoping that we're going to get

03:35:52.300 --> 03:35:54.300
one of those back and forth

03:35:54.300 --> 03:35:55.300
kind of team fight exhibitions

03:35:55.300 --> 03:35:56.300
that I think everyone was

03:35:56.300 --> 03:35:57.300
expecting coming into the series.

03:35:57.300 --> 03:35:59.300
Well, and that we want, right?

03:35:59.300 --> 03:36:02.060
Right? Like, these are the best players in the world.

03:36:02.060 --> 03:36:05.620
Like, these are two teams that really,

03:36:05.620 --> 03:36:08.480
we were talking about how strong their top sides are

03:36:08.480 --> 03:36:10.020
when they work together.

03:36:10.020 --> 03:36:11.900
And I want to see it,

03:36:11.900 --> 03:36:13.860
because every other game has been a song.

03:36:13.860 --> 03:36:15.820
So tournament officials were informed by BLG

03:36:15.820 --> 03:36:18.420
that Caitlyn was an accidental ban.

03:36:18.420 --> 03:36:19.860
Tournament officials are determining

03:36:19.860 --> 03:36:22.420
whether the team raised the objection before

03:36:22.420 --> 03:36:25.220
or after HLE ban Bard.

03:36:25.220 --> 03:36:27.300
If they objected before the Bard ban,

03:36:27.300 --> 03:36:31.140
they can remake the pick and ban and ban the correct champion.

03:36:31.140 --> 03:36:33.060
If the barred ban came first,

03:36:33.060 --> 03:36:35.260
then the erroneous ban is locked in.

03:36:35.260 --> 03:36:38.180
Obviously, you cannot give an advantage to a team of

03:36:38.180 --> 03:36:41.100
that extra knowledge and then run back a ban.

03:36:41.100 --> 03:36:44.820
So they're determining when exactly this complaint was filed,

03:36:44.820 --> 03:36:48.140
and if it was before or after the subsequent ban.

03:36:48.140 --> 03:36:50.100
Yeah. This is always how this rules work, by the way.

03:36:50.100 --> 03:36:51.940
This isn't specific to this MSI or anything.

03:36:51.940 --> 03:36:55.060
If you mess up in draft and you immediately say,

03:36:55.060 --> 03:36:56.580
hey, that wasn't meant to be,

03:36:56.580 --> 03:37:02.120
Generally speaking, they're not going to punish you for the misclick. It's only if the other team then revealed information

03:37:02.120 --> 03:37:06.420
Do you get locked in? So that's why they're taking some time to go through this one to get this right?

03:37:07.020 --> 03:37:11.100
So tournament officials have determined that BLG did object in time

03:37:11.100 --> 03:37:17.500
So they will remake pick some bands up until BLG's second band which they can choose the right band and with that

03:37:17.500 --> 03:37:19.500
We'll be heading back to the casters have fun guys

03:37:20.300 --> 03:37:22.300
I guess I guess

03:37:26.580 --> 03:37:27.300
Yeah.

03:37:27.300 --> 03:37:30.420
So there we go.

03:37:30.420 --> 03:37:31.420
I'm confused.

03:37:31.420 --> 03:37:32.340
That's fine.

03:37:32.340 --> 03:37:35.140
We're back in to champ select, and we're

03:37:35.140 --> 03:37:37.820
having a look at what is going to be banned next.

03:37:37.820 --> 03:37:39.900
Yeah, did he not just say that that was the ban?

03:37:39.900 --> 03:37:40.620
Yeah.

03:37:40.620 --> 03:37:42.620
So maybe that wasn't the erroneous ban.

03:37:42.620 --> 03:37:44.020
That was actually the ban that they

03:37:44.020 --> 03:37:45.620
were supposed to do when they banned something.

03:37:45.620 --> 03:37:47.780
It was Nocturne that they banned last time.

03:37:47.780 --> 03:37:49.500
So it's supposed to be Caitlyn.

03:37:49.500 --> 03:37:53.540
And so it was just a brain rewiring.

03:37:53.540 --> 03:37:54.060
That's OK.

03:37:54.060 --> 03:37:56.100
I did the cogs problem again.

03:37:56.100 --> 03:38:03.300
I don't know. Okay, one more band come through here on HLE side before we get into the picks.

03:38:03.300 --> 03:38:06.980
We'll see what Bin is going to be locking down to their first one.

03:38:06.980 --> 03:38:10.900
The Orianna band thus far, is that going to be the last one for HLE?

03:38:10.900 --> 03:38:15.700
There's actually the knockdown to Orianna, open available for NICE.

03:38:15.700 --> 03:38:21.980
These blue teams out of the water in the LPL, we saw what you could do at MSI as well.

03:38:21.980 --> 03:38:24.820
I would not be surprised if that's the immediate lock here.

03:38:24.820 --> 03:38:26.540
I mean, Zeke needs an answer to this.

03:38:26.540 --> 03:38:30.220
They have to have understood that this is exactly what they're walking into.

03:38:30.220 --> 03:38:32.740
But this is such a risk with match point on the table.

03:38:32.740 --> 03:38:35.580
And the Cali gone, what has been with the answers to it already.

03:38:35.580 --> 03:38:39.220
Leone taking away like, Zeke, I'm not sure what he has in the tank.

03:38:39.220 --> 03:38:43.100
And I think that's why BLG trying to think this one through, run down the clock,

03:38:43.100 --> 03:38:45.100
to try and figure out what are the potential answers.

03:38:45.100 --> 03:38:46.660
Yeah, you're kind of like, okay.

03:38:46.660 --> 03:38:48.620
Yeah, what is this a beta?

03:38:48.620 --> 03:38:49.620
Because I'm going to do it.

03:38:49.620 --> 03:38:53.640
Let's see what the answer ends up because you're also banned away the

03:38:54.520 --> 03:38:59.560
Even if bending away the nocturne and the fearlessly used up nefiri, you don't have like the most

03:39:00.320 --> 03:39:03.740
Aggressive ball delivery systems Jarvan also off the table from Fearless

03:39:04.180 --> 03:39:08.760
But there's so many other ways and we've also seen people will just flash in with it

03:39:08.760 --> 03:39:14.980
So are gonna have to at least deny the Vi and then maybe we do get our like Vi Ari or spy something

03:39:14.980 --> 03:39:20.160
with some kill pressure to try and get say a jungle mid kill pressure on that

03:39:20.160 --> 03:39:22.200
Orianna and punish the low mobility.

03:39:22.200 --> 03:39:24.640
I wonder if Shun is going to end up in the middle of the battlefield there.

03:39:24.640 --> 03:39:28.660
Like try and have when the Orianna is on a side lane the ability to try and protect her

03:39:28.660 --> 03:39:31.960
because that's the main focus oftentimes when you take something like the fire is

03:39:31.960 --> 03:39:36.720
attack this Orianna as she set up in the side lane also having the virus there

03:39:36.720 --> 03:39:40.140
to clear out some of these waves open up to light to try and play for those side

03:39:40.140 --> 03:39:41.180
lanes as well.

03:39:41.180 --> 03:39:47.080
A huge roar from the crowd as one of Grumiushi's most famous champions is locked in.

03:39:47.080 --> 03:39:50.580
Obviously flexible, could be going to Zestor as that top side of the map.

03:39:50.580 --> 03:39:55.980
But you imagine everyone here in Dejon is hoping that that goes over to Guma.

03:39:55.980 --> 03:40:01.380
As now, Shun and Knight round out what we're going to see from BLG before we get into some more bands.

03:40:01.380 --> 03:40:04.980
And there is that Pantheon that you were talking about.

03:40:04.980 --> 03:40:08.080
Will it then just be a bin pick for the top side of the map?

03:40:08.080 --> 03:40:14.680
Or what is it going to be? That is sort of my question here, is the Ezreal for Viper will be the answer.

03:40:14.680 --> 03:40:17.680
The extra safety in the poke.

03:40:17.680 --> 03:40:19.680
Yeah, that's the main one that they're trying to focus on.

03:40:19.680 --> 03:40:27.680
And some of the Viper has been very strong on as well, being able to keep themselves in check and really power through these teamfights when he gets an advantage.

03:40:27.680 --> 03:40:33.180
And I think that's where, again, you're going to be looking now at a carry answer for some of these picks.

03:40:33.180 --> 03:40:40.180
Because BLG want to keep that counter pick for Bin, so he can be a threat on sides and kind of open up for Pantheon if he has an option.

03:40:40.180 --> 03:40:49.180
And Angelic just double down. An important click dive here. Nautilus and Vi to really put pressure onto this Orianna.

03:40:49.180 --> 03:40:57.180
I mean yeah Viper locks in a little bit of safety there with the Israel, but Arcane shift away, but they're going to put as much pressure as they possibly can on tonight.

03:40:57.180 --> 03:41:03.380
This is going to be a very mobile Balancing Castle, but it's going to be chasing Viper wherever he wants to hook a shift.

03:41:03.380 --> 03:41:07.180
So, Ben going to be coming in finally here for HLE.

03:41:07.180 --> 03:41:11.180
See where they're going to be focusing. I imagine Topside of the map is probably what they're going to be looking at,

03:41:11.180 --> 03:41:15.680
but still a fair bit of flexibility, and instead it's going to be the Alistar taken away.

03:41:15.680 --> 03:41:20.180
So still the focus on towards on trying to limit his champion pool, but it doesn't mean that Ben,

03:41:20.180 --> 03:41:23.180
if he really wants to, could still opt in towards something like the Sion.

03:41:23.180 --> 03:41:26.740
is one of his most played champions coming in from the LPL.

03:41:26.740 --> 03:41:30.580
My biggest worry for them is that while he has a good win

03:41:30.580 --> 03:41:33.140
rate on the champion, sometimes he kind of overextends

03:41:33.140 --> 03:41:34.980
in teamfights and doesn't play the first to back

03:41:34.980 --> 03:41:36.700
as much as you'd want from a science.

03:41:36.700 --> 03:41:38.820
But I think with this sort of composition,

03:41:38.820 --> 03:41:42.340
it would then deviate the virus into this on-hit build,

03:41:42.340 --> 03:41:44.020
which then opens up kind of him playing

03:41:44.020 --> 03:41:45.140
in range of this Orianna.

03:41:45.140 --> 03:41:48.340
So maybe it's an option that BLG want to go for.

03:41:48.340 --> 03:41:53.340
And since Agile are showing so much commitment to the dive,

03:41:53.620 --> 03:41:55.500
I mean, you're thinking about the other

03:41:55.500 --> 03:41:57.280
like possible counter dive things

03:41:57.280 --> 03:42:00.180
that we have available still to be selected.

03:42:00.180 --> 03:42:02.020
What do you think about pivots to like brawl

03:42:02.020 --> 03:42:04.220
and stuff like that and just look to be able

03:42:04.220 --> 03:42:07.540
to have team fight presence when you know

03:42:07.540 --> 03:42:09.460
they're gonna be able to come in for the commitment?

03:42:09.460 --> 03:42:13.020
Like regardless whether the Varus is bottom or top side,

03:42:13.020 --> 03:42:17.260
they're gonna be looking to follow up on a Vi or Nautilus

03:42:17.260 --> 03:42:20.700
and use that chain of corruptions to spread through your team.

03:42:20.700 --> 03:42:24.620
So try to get some kind of counter or blocker.

03:42:24.620 --> 03:42:27.540
Okay, so the Vayne is going to be the ban away here.

03:42:27.540 --> 03:42:30.580
Probably know what HLE we're gonna lock in right now

03:42:30.580 --> 03:42:31.420
because they're gonna be looking

03:42:31.420 --> 03:42:34.900
for Zeca's answer to the Orianna at this stage.

03:42:34.900 --> 03:42:37.900
With the Ari banned away, it's a little bit more

03:42:37.900 --> 03:42:39.780
up in the air, the Aurora is an option,

03:42:39.780 --> 03:42:41.900
the Gallio definitely an option,

03:42:41.900 --> 03:42:44.020
although damage will be problematic.

03:42:44.020 --> 03:42:46.020
That's a dragon.

03:42:46.020 --> 03:42:49.820
Oh my goodness, this was one of his favorites.

03:42:49.820 --> 03:42:53.300
I would have loved it, but instead, it's going to be the Aurora.

03:42:53.300 --> 03:42:58.420
The Fizz was an answer to the TF, that used to be the hard counter

03:42:58.420 --> 03:43:01.620
all those years ago, that he did play a little bit earlier on

03:43:01.620 --> 03:43:04.580
in a different tournament, but that is the Aurora one thing.

03:43:04.580 --> 03:43:07.700
And the Aurora is one of the ones that we were mentioning early on

03:43:07.700 --> 03:43:10.500
with the combos, with the buy to look for some burst damage

03:43:10.500 --> 03:43:12.380
and try and get that pressure.

03:43:12.380 --> 03:43:19.220
But regardless, BLG, looks like they are going to still have a very stable fight for themselves,

03:43:19.220 --> 03:43:21.140
lock in the Niko with the Ezreal.

03:43:21.140 --> 03:43:28.180
Yep, more roaming potential here from on as the Cassante blind is looking to be the option.

03:43:28.180 --> 03:43:29.420
That's an Olaf.

03:43:30.420 --> 03:43:34.460
We did see that yesterday, and I prefer not to think about it, so thankfully the Cassante is coming back.

03:43:34.460 --> 03:43:35.740
But there is what we were talking about, right?

03:43:35.740 --> 03:43:38.300
Potential to go for the tank and then just go for the front to back.

03:43:38.300 --> 03:43:43.740
I love that flash man, I love that, putting a bit of fear into Zaeus.

03:43:44.240 --> 03:43:46.240
Well he's also like, I dare you.

03:43:46.240 --> 03:43:48.740
He's like, do it, do it!

03:43:50.240 --> 03:43:55.400
Honestly, WAP doesn't look too bad when you've got a potential lethality varus from the bottom lane.

03:43:56.840 --> 03:44:01.380
Also, like, I don't hate if he wants to go towards him like the Olaf,

03:44:01.380 --> 03:44:03.500
especially when you've got so much setup there as well.

03:44:04.000 --> 03:44:06.240
And the ability to chase him in the Ezreal might be a bit of a problem,

03:44:06.240 --> 03:44:09.240
But Orianna, I'm gonna be too happy if there's an Olaf chasing her down.

03:44:10.580 --> 03:44:17.240
I mean, very clearly, Bealgero, like, please, all right, which kind of picks are gonna be, you know, we're expecting a carry from you.

03:44:17.240 --> 03:44:18.780
Is it the Olaf? Is it the Gwen?

03:44:19.740 --> 03:44:23.180
Hmm, I'm seeing Delight not doing very much right now.

03:44:24.180 --> 03:44:30.080
We'll see what is actually finally going to be locked in, hopefully very soon as we are.

03:44:30.080 --> 03:44:32.080
Yeah, let's see him going to put us.

03:44:32.080 --> 03:44:33.880
I was sitting there and I'm like, I don't see it.

03:44:33.880 --> 03:44:36.380
Time are ticking down and the light's supposed to be doing stuff

03:44:36.380 --> 03:44:37.380
and he's not really doing stuff.

03:44:37.380 --> 03:44:41.780
So we are going to pop out once again from the draft.

03:44:41.780 --> 03:44:45.180
We'll get you an update on exactly what did happen there.

03:44:45.180 --> 03:44:48.880
And I'm assuming that the Cassante pick was real.

03:44:48.880 --> 03:44:49.980
Yeah.

03:44:49.980 --> 03:44:52.180
Whatever popped out, Alice, pop it back in.

03:44:52.180 --> 03:44:53.080
Yeah, exactly.

03:44:53.080 --> 03:44:55.080
Let's get this guy to show off the road.

03:44:55.080 --> 03:44:56.080
Have you tried to?

03:44:56.080 --> 03:44:57.280
No, no, no.

03:44:57.280 --> 03:44:59.080
This is the only way we can extend the series.

03:44:59.080 --> 03:45:01.380
The game's going to be too fast, Kobe, okay?

03:45:01.380 --> 03:45:04.460
I'm gonna make sure that we just have as much time here as possible.

03:45:04.460 --> 03:45:05.460
Dejohn's beautiful.

03:45:05.460 --> 03:45:10.340
If this is the price to pay for a close game, I'm down to pay it.

03:45:10.340 --> 03:45:11.340
Let's all sit and wait.

03:45:11.340 --> 03:45:12.340
Heck yeah.

03:45:12.340 --> 03:45:14.580
Let's get a close scrappy game.

03:45:14.580 --> 03:45:16.780
Actually, let's all meditate.

03:45:16.780 --> 03:45:18.500
I'm right there with ya.

03:45:18.500 --> 03:45:20.700
Yeah, Faker's really started something.

03:45:20.700 --> 03:45:26.380
Just going for the reboot for our mid laners here, because I could be doing the same thing.

03:45:26.380 --> 03:45:28.940
And so I think we're just gonna be quickly running through this draft to get back to

03:45:28.940 --> 03:45:29.940
where we were.

03:45:29.940 --> 03:45:33.860
feel like a scrappy draft though. When I see the champions that are there, I'm kind of like,

03:45:33.860 --> 03:45:38.060
you know what, we've got this strong mid-jungle that we wanted for HLE, trying to play against

03:45:38.060 --> 03:45:43.380
Nidus on his Orianna, one of his strongest picks, and you get this like front to back

03:45:43.380 --> 03:45:48.260
teamfight that looks like, if that Cassante was real, like this to me feels like we're

03:45:48.260 --> 03:45:50.660
going to have an absolute brawl in this game.

03:45:50.660 --> 03:45:56.620
I hope so. The Orianna does really terrify me. I don't know whether the Aurora is going

03:45:56.620 --> 03:46:01.220
to be enough of an answer. I think if she doesn't really start to accelerate, can really

03:46:01.220 --> 03:46:08.060
not do very much on the Rift. But the tools that HLE has this time around to lock down

03:46:08.060 --> 03:46:14.420
especially a single target is absolutely ridiculous. So mid game power for this composition is

03:46:14.420 --> 03:46:18.340
going to be through the roof, not to mention it's Kanavi on Vi. Like he just makes magic

03:46:18.340 --> 03:46:22.660
happen on this champion. So does Shun, right? Like this is why this champion has been banned

03:46:22.660 --> 03:46:23.660
all series long.

03:46:23.660 --> 03:46:27.940
The most frustrating part of playing with Kanavi on Vi is that he would just sit in a bush.

03:46:27.940 --> 03:46:31.580
And you're like, oh no, he's definitely gone now, and then he just murders you in the top lane.

03:46:31.580 --> 03:46:37.940
Like this guy is so patient, and is so good at finding those moments that dictate the pace of the game on the Vi.

03:46:37.940 --> 03:46:42.380
So I think this is where Kanavi can look to just try and take over in the early game.

03:46:42.380 --> 03:46:49.380
Yeah, and one thing is certain for me at least, is that HLE have to get active with this team comp.

03:46:49.380 --> 03:46:54.300
You cannot sit back and let BLG to scale and win.

03:46:54.300 --> 03:46:55.300
You have to get active.

03:46:55.300 --> 03:46:58.660
You have Aurora, you have Vi, you have Nautilus.

03:46:58.660 --> 03:47:02.980
Get in there, make it happen if you want to extend this series.

03:47:03.940 --> 03:47:06.500
And I'm really interested because we haven't seen

03:47:06.500 --> 03:47:08.100
Zeyas' top pick just yet,

03:47:08.100 --> 03:47:10.580
and whether he is going to be going into that one as well.

03:47:10.580 --> 03:47:11.980
But ladies and gentlemen,

03:47:11.980 --> 03:47:14.580
some players have disconnected from the champion select,

03:47:14.580 --> 03:47:17.220
and so tournament officials are gonna be investigating

03:47:17.220 --> 03:47:19.620
and making sure that we know exactly what has gone wrong.

03:47:19.620 --> 03:47:21.980
And then we can get in, everything can be stable,

03:47:21.980 --> 03:47:24.260
and then it's all gonna be okay

03:47:24.260 --> 03:47:26.860
as we get onto the Rift for this pivotal game four.

03:47:26.860 --> 03:47:30.100
And actually, like, interrupting some momentum here

03:47:30.100 --> 03:47:31.460
could be an important thing as well.

03:47:31.460 --> 03:47:33.580
It's one of the two.

03:47:33.580 --> 03:47:35.220
Yeah, well, I mean, for anyone,

03:47:35.220 --> 03:47:37.500
giving these players time to breathe.

03:47:37.500 --> 03:47:39.340
I'm getting dizzy up here now.

03:47:39.340 --> 03:47:41.900
I heard my, we'll pop it in and out of here.

03:47:41.900 --> 03:47:43.700
Maybe you should stop spinning around.

03:47:44.580 --> 03:47:46.220
That's my fault, what the heck?

03:47:47.220 --> 03:47:53.100
But I mean you know for both these teams like there's so much for the players that they want to try to achieve right like people are talking

03:47:53.100 --> 03:47:57.820
About BLG potentially trying to compete to go grow which hasn't been a thing that you look on the opposite side as well

03:47:57.820 --> 03:47:59.820
It's like trying to see if Zayas and

03:48:00.420 --> 03:48:02.780
Guru you she can stop it kind of be changing sides

03:48:02.780 --> 03:48:06.920
But we're gonna change it over to a different desk as analysts welcome back

03:48:11.220 --> 03:48:14.580
These casters ego they just want more and more and more time to

03:48:17.220 --> 03:48:19.220
You can just press the button at any time, Max.

03:48:19.220 --> 03:48:20.220
Yeah. Press the button.

03:48:20.220 --> 03:48:22.220
Yeah, you can. I know.

03:48:22.220 --> 03:48:26.220
I know. You guys can't hear him, but Max just looks so over it.

03:48:26.220 --> 03:48:27.220
He's screaming. What?

03:48:27.220 --> 03:48:30.220
He is yelling at us, and he is pressing buttons.

03:48:30.220 --> 03:48:31.220
I can't hear you.

03:48:31.220 --> 03:48:33.220
I cannot hear you.

03:48:33.220 --> 03:48:36.220
I will say, I'm really interested in what this final pick is going to be.

03:48:36.220 --> 03:48:38.220
You know, what kind of angle this is going to go for,

03:48:38.220 --> 03:48:42.220
if it's going to be something more, it's actually round out the draft.

03:48:42.220 --> 03:48:43.220
Or it's a fun game.

03:48:43.220 --> 03:48:45.220
Yeah, I mean, because you have a lot of options here.

03:48:45.220 --> 03:48:49.560
The other thing I will say that I don't know if the casters were talking about this because we had our headsets off

03:48:50.080 --> 03:48:55.640
But there's the possibility of Ferris always going top, right? And you can get different AD carry you try to play around that

03:48:55.720 --> 03:49:01.400
There's options that you know we saw on was hovering like the Gwen you can go for scaling matchups

03:49:01.400 --> 03:49:07.200
There's options like the Olaf which is up and available and can actually come out as a potential counter pick

03:49:07.200 --> 03:49:10.200
So there are a lot of angles, but I do agree

03:49:10.200 --> 03:49:14.620
regardless kind of what you go on on 5 here as Kobe was saying I do think they

03:49:14.620 --> 03:49:19.620
have to get really active because I do think it can be difficult later on this

03:49:19.620 --> 03:49:23.060
was the draft before everybody disconnected right and oh they're leaving

03:49:23.060 --> 03:49:29.660
so let's chat now I want here to pay in so to get to game 5 with the caveats or

03:49:29.660 --> 03:49:33.820
you haven't yet get active or what not what do each of you want to see as that

03:49:33.820 --> 03:49:39.140
last pic oh geez that's a good one there's so there's actually so I got

03:49:39.140 --> 03:49:46.860
So I'm trying to I was just trying to think if there's any mage pick that can survive against the Ezreal Niko because at the moment

03:49:46.860 --> 03:49:51.820
I kind of feel like they need the Varus bot lane just because Ezreal Niko is so strong

03:49:52.260 --> 03:49:55.620
And if they try to go to something like Kaiser they just get pushed in too quickly

03:49:55.940 --> 03:50:00.580
And I feel like I first and if like they're in a tough spot with the way they gave Orianna over

03:50:00.740 --> 03:50:07.100
With all the things that were already gone in Fearless so far with Cassio being gone with Akali being gone with Nocturne being banned

03:50:07.100 --> 03:50:11.180
I feel like it's going to be hard to like wrestle control away from Knights Orianna

03:50:12.460 --> 03:50:16.280
I would like to see Gwen honestly. I think Gwen works pretty well here

03:50:16.280 --> 03:50:18.980
I think you have more than enough physical damage with the Vi and the Varus

03:50:18.980 --> 03:50:22.440
Yeah, I think it's a really good 1v1 matchup into the Cassante

03:50:22.460 --> 03:50:25.660
But it's one that doesn't have to commit to split pushing the whole game

03:50:25.660 --> 03:50:30.220
You can actually team fight which is one of the things I've always really liked about Gwen is you can create side lane advantages

03:50:30.220 --> 03:50:35.380
Bring that to a 5v5 have success and it's also a champion that I think especially if you are not

03:50:35.380 --> 03:50:41.020
I don't want to see ignite plus TP. I think you need you know more defensive summoner given that there is a

03:50:41.140 --> 03:50:43.340
Pantheon in the game and you are going to be getting attacked

03:50:43.340 --> 03:50:48.820
It is someone that I think you know with flash or ghost and the end of shroud can absorb a lot of those ganks

03:50:48.820 --> 03:50:50.820
So I think something like that could be pretty cool

03:50:53.220 --> 03:50:55.220
Yeah, I mean

03:50:56.180 --> 03:51:04.200
No, no, I don't I was just thinking okay, I wonder if they just swap again because I wonder if they just swap the varus top

03:51:04.200 --> 03:51:15.200
But like Jatt already pointed out, I'm not sure that's a great idea just because of how hard this Ezreal and Niko lane can push in.

03:51:15.200 --> 03:51:25.200
One thing that casters were saying that I also agree with, kind of regardless of top lane pick, my opinion could change depending on what they pick,

03:51:25.200 --> 03:51:32.440
they pick, but I do want to see HLE get really active early on the map, because otherwise

03:51:32.440 --> 03:51:39.160
this is an insane scaling. Especially with the Orianna, just so much playmaking on the

03:51:39.160 --> 03:51:42.880
side of BLG in mid to late game teamfights.

03:51:42.880 --> 03:51:46.120
I mean, I think two options. I was trying to think, what would I want them to play if

03:51:46.120 --> 03:51:49.380
they actually want to move the various top? I was thinking about MF or potentially even

03:51:49.380 --> 03:51:53.160
Senna, and those would be two bad things that actually work pretty well. MF has a lot of

03:51:53.160 --> 03:51:56.560
the laning power center is more, you know, withstand the lane.

03:51:56.560 --> 03:51:58.660
And then you're playing more towards the other side.

03:51:58.660 --> 03:52:00.460
If you're assuming that you are going to be using the Vi,

03:52:00.460 --> 03:52:01.660
and you're playing towards your Ferris,

03:52:01.660 --> 03:52:03.260
you're kind of attacking in that way.

03:52:03.260 --> 03:52:04.760
I think MF definitely can work.

03:52:04.760 --> 03:52:06.060
To me, there's more than enough setup

03:52:06.060 --> 03:52:07.660
with the Vi and the Nautilus.

03:52:07.660 --> 03:52:10.060
I think it is more likely that Ferris is going bot, though.

03:52:10.060 --> 03:52:10.560
Yeah, it's him.

03:52:10.560 --> 03:52:12.460
And that we are going to see something else,

03:52:12.460 --> 03:52:14.360
which I personally would love seeing when.

03:52:14.360 --> 03:52:16.860
I think it actually rounds out the company well.

03:52:16.860 --> 03:52:19.160
Have we exhausted this topic?

03:52:19.160 --> 03:52:19.760
I think so.

03:52:19.760 --> 03:52:20.060
Oh, yeah.

03:52:20.060 --> 03:52:20.360
Okay.

03:52:20.360 --> 03:52:21.060
Yeah.

03:52:21.060 --> 03:52:21.560
Good.

03:52:21.560 --> 03:52:22.560
Let's see where we go then.

03:52:22.560 --> 03:52:26.880
said already getting active let's talk a little bit about as a you know former pro players right

03:52:26.880 --> 03:52:30.720
what this does to the psyche and what this does to the mental they have been allowed a bathroom

03:52:30.720 --> 03:52:34.480
break by the way that is why some of the players left the stage that you don't think that they're

03:52:34.480 --> 03:52:40.480
doing it in a clanson way. I think you definitely get up and walk around when they sit back down

03:52:40.480 --> 03:52:43.840
they're just going to be playing another game of League of Legends especially players experience

03:52:43.840 --> 03:52:50.320
to this. Tech pauses do happen in esports so I feel like with how veteran all these teams are

03:52:50.320 --> 03:52:52.680
They're going to be completely okay. I mean, I'm just you have a

03:52:52.680 --> 03:52:59.120
World Champion. Well, my my angle is whenever I lost and there was a delay. I was tilted

03:52:59.760 --> 03:53:05.280
like crazy because all you're thinking about is what you wanted to do different for this game.

03:53:05.280 --> 03:53:08.400
You talked about it. You went backstage. You discussed that you said this is what we're going

03:53:08.400 --> 03:53:11.680
to change. This is what we're going to change. Like great. We're on the same page. Let's get out

03:53:11.680 --> 03:53:17.920
there. Let's do it. Oh, wrong band. All right. Start over again. Disconnect. Okay. Start over.

03:53:17.920 --> 03:53:21.360
And I feel like coming off the wind, you're in such a better mindset.

03:53:21.360 --> 03:53:24.600
So, you know, for HLE, I think the pause isn't as disruptive.

03:53:24.600 --> 03:53:27.520
I know some people will always argue momentum, and maybe that gets in the way.

03:53:27.720 --> 03:53:31.600
But for my own personal experience, I know if I had just lost

03:53:31.600 --> 03:53:35.560
and then I'm forced to do on that for a long time in a delay,

03:53:35.560 --> 03:53:37.200
that is just blowing up my mental.

03:53:37.200 --> 03:53:38.800
That's fuming. Yeah.

03:53:38.800 --> 03:53:44.560
So it was BLG who was HLE who disconnected with the last pick

03:53:44.920 --> 03:53:46.920
and which team had the missed ban?

03:53:46.920 --> 03:53:53.300
I'm trying to remember this BLG who actually had accidentally locked in nocturne as yeah

03:53:53.300 --> 03:53:57.260
And then said it was Katelyn and now it's H. Lee's have the DC

03:53:57.260 --> 03:54:01.860
So I'd be more tilted if like both of them was the other team and it felt like they were delaying it

03:54:02.220 --> 03:54:06.080
But I was like one in one. Yeah, yeah, it's even more fair

03:54:06.820 --> 03:54:11.180
Apparently we're getting closer to them being back and I see that my casters are back there

03:54:12.620 --> 03:54:15.000
Back on they've had their snacks back to you

03:54:16.920 --> 03:54:21.920
It's a very nice book.

03:54:21.920 --> 03:54:24.160
Yeah, so it is right here, it's lit up.

03:54:24.160 --> 03:54:26.520
I think it's ready to go, but I'm getting a bit nervous.

03:54:26.520 --> 03:54:28.080
Like I don't know where like, let me do it.

03:54:28.080 --> 03:54:28.920
You want to do it?

03:54:28.920 --> 03:54:29.760
Kobe, you can do it.

03:54:29.760 --> 03:54:30.920
You were the birthday boy a few days ago.

03:54:30.920 --> 03:54:31.760
There it is.

03:54:31.760 --> 03:54:32.600
Wait, wait.

03:54:32.600 --> 03:54:34.400
Why isn't it working when I do it?

03:54:34.400 --> 03:54:36.760
But Kobe, it shuts off.

03:54:36.760 --> 03:54:38.400
It shuts off my voice though.

03:54:38.400 --> 03:54:39.600
It's not actually working.

03:54:39.600 --> 03:54:41.000
Oh, this is the wrong one.

03:54:41.000 --> 03:54:41.840
Hang on.

03:54:41.840 --> 03:54:43.520
No, no, no, it's this knob here.

03:54:43.520 --> 03:54:45.000
Wait, this is bad actually.

03:54:45.000 --> 03:54:51.600
No one can see that I'm trying to talk so it's really hard.

03:54:51.600 --> 03:54:53.240
Let me just talk and then nothing...

03:54:53.240 --> 03:54:55.040
No, it just doesn't really work.

03:54:55.040 --> 03:54:56.440
Also the start game button doesn't work.

03:54:56.440 --> 03:54:58.320
So sorry, Sharks.

03:54:58.320 --> 03:54:59.320
Just don't...

03:54:59.320 --> 03:55:00.320
I failed, I guess.

03:55:00.320 --> 03:55:01.320
Couldn't find the button.

03:55:01.320 --> 03:55:02.320
Sorry, not sorry.

03:55:02.320 --> 03:55:03.320
Yeah.

03:55:03.320 --> 03:55:04.320
Well, I mean, I am.

03:55:04.320 --> 03:55:05.320
I am actually...

03:55:05.320 --> 03:55:06.320
Here we go!

03:55:06.320 --> 03:55:07.320
I found it!

03:55:07.320 --> 03:55:08.320
I found it!

03:55:08.320 --> 03:55:09.320
I found it!

03:55:09.320 --> 03:55:10.320
I found it!

03:55:10.320 --> 03:55:11.320
I found it!

03:55:11.320 --> 03:55:12.320
I found it!

03:55:12.320 --> 03:55:13.320
I found it!

03:55:13.320 --> 03:55:14.320
I found it!

03:55:14.320 --> 03:55:16.320
Just kidding.

03:55:16.320 --> 03:55:18.320
I thought you were.

03:55:18.320 --> 03:55:20.320
They could do the draft we've already had to go.

03:55:20.320 --> 03:55:22.320
It's fine.

03:55:22.320 --> 03:55:26.320
Alright, so, who wants to be the prophet?

03:55:26.320 --> 03:55:28.320
Who wants to do the memory test?

03:55:28.320 --> 03:55:30.320
Oh, this one was picked.

03:55:30.320 --> 03:55:32.320
Yeah, I thought you were like...

03:55:32.320 --> 03:55:34.320
A royal that's real good here, guys.

03:55:34.320 --> 03:55:36.320
Okay, okay, okay.

03:55:36.320 --> 03:55:38.320
Zaka.

03:55:38.320 --> 03:55:40.320
Wait, did they have to...

03:55:40.320 --> 03:55:42.320
Pick a different champion though?

03:55:42.320 --> 03:55:47.800
I think they should ban Bane here, so there that is.

03:55:47.800 --> 03:55:50.120
Then the Aurora gets locked in.

03:55:50.120 --> 03:55:52.400
Yeah, so Aurora Vi.

03:55:52.400 --> 03:55:53.520
Yeah, yeah, very, very good.

03:55:53.520 --> 03:55:56.080
I think Nico is just brilliant in this position.

03:55:56.080 --> 03:55:58.080
I don't think there's any other choice.

03:55:58.080 --> 03:56:00.560
And then Cassante would annoy Showmaker and Wayne.

03:56:00.560 --> 03:56:02.600
He's country right now, so I think that's a good idea.

03:56:02.600 --> 03:56:03.800
OK, now do the last one.

03:56:03.800 --> 03:56:07.240
Where's the Zayas pick, huh?

03:56:07.240 --> 03:56:11.120
It's Kaiser for Gumiishi, no.

03:56:11.120 --> 03:56:13.240
We heard the test talking about flexing the bar of stuff.

03:56:13.240 --> 03:56:14.800
I hope that that doesn't happen.

03:56:14.800 --> 03:56:19.800
And if I've made that thing, then I apologize.

03:56:19.800 --> 03:56:21.040
But it could be the Glenn.

03:56:21.040 --> 03:56:21.600
Well, we've done.

03:56:21.600 --> 03:56:22.600
There's not going to lie, lad.

03:56:22.600 --> 03:56:23.800
You've had enough time to make this.

03:56:23.800 --> 03:56:25.040
But that would be cool.

03:56:25.040 --> 03:56:26.280
Yeah, there's a hen.

03:56:26.280 --> 03:56:26.780
OK.

03:56:26.780 --> 03:56:28.760
They've got to repossess.

03:56:28.760 --> 03:56:30.240
And he doesn't get punished in this lane.

03:56:30.240 --> 03:56:32.480
I actually really like this pick.

03:56:32.480 --> 03:56:33.760
Yeah, I think it sets up nicely.

03:56:33.760 --> 03:56:35.000
It works well with the dive, right?

03:56:35.000 --> 03:56:36.000
The grim deliverance.

03:56:36.000 --> 03:56:38.280
There's a huge amount of work, especially when you think

03:56:38.280 --> 03:56:41.920
of like Nico, Pantheon, Cassante, all kind of playing in that same line.

03:56:41.920 --> 03:56:45.120
So I think you get a lot of value out of just good side playing pressure.

03:56:45.720 --> 03:56:48.040
Seems like a decent spot here for HLE.

03:56:48.040 --> 03:56:50.640
Here's some team fighting as well.

03:56:50.640 --> 03:56:54.360
But we'll just have to see how it works as we get on to the Rift.

03:56:54.360 --> 03:56:58.400
Just to remind everyone, we are heading towards game number four.

03:56:58.440 --> 03:57:01.200
BLG dominated the first two games.

03:57:01.360 --> 03:57:03.560
We didn't even know where HLE were here.

03:57:03.640 --> 03:57:05.560
Then HLE came back.

03:57:05.560 --> 03:57:11.000
absolutely smashed them in the third one we have a series appearing on our hands

03:57:11.000 --> 03:57:15.640
it disappeared for a little while we had chats with the analyst desk now we're back here ready

03:57:15.640 --> 03:57:21.560
to get into game number four everything sorted out the picks are lined up and we'll just have to

03:57:21.560 --> 03:57:27.000
see whether HLE can line up some silver scrapes and don't go check the tapes on those first

03:57:27.000 --> 03:57:33.560
couple games they were super exciting back and forth just a league of legends gameplay and

03:57:33.560 --> 03:57:35.400
And this one is going to be the same.

03:57:35.400 --> 03:57:37.360
Yeah, just look at the timestamp.

03:57:37.360 --> 03:57:39.040
You know, it's been quite some time.

03:57:39.040 --> 03:57:42.200
Yeah, and so obviously they were long games.

03:57:42.200 --> 03:57:43.660
Don't jump too far ahead in the bar

03:57:43.660 --> 03:57:45.000
because you might skip over one of the games.

03:57:45.000 --> 03:57:46.200
That's a really sad one.

03:57:46.200 --> 03:57:48.440
Maybe just press the arrow key a few times.

03:57:48.440 --> 03:57:49.040
Not out there.

03:57:49.040 --> 03:57:50.760
Stage manager, Seb, they're good.

03:57:50.760 --> 03:57:52.080
Oh, what a hero.

03:57:52.080 --> 03:57:53.240
Oh, speaking of getting active,

03:57:53.240 --> 03:57:56.240
Seb definitely doing a lot of fat today.

03:57:56.240 --> 03:57:57.240
Ah!

03:57:57.240 --> 03:58:00.720
Let's hear from the fans.

03:58:00.720 --> 03:58:01.720
Beautiful noise.

03:58:01.720 --> 03:58:06.720
I just love it when it's the lightings on the end of time.

03:58:06.720 --> 03:58:08.720
The dueling time.

03:58:08.720 --> 03:58:14.720
Now, for the dueling number one seats,

03:58:14.720 --> 03:58:19.720
LCK versus LPL, and BLG still have the advantage.

03:58:19.720 --> 03:58:23.720
Had them on the ropes in the first couple games, as you said.

03:58:23.720 --> 03:58:27.720
And HLE bouncing back, but the momentum has quickly stopped,

03:58:27.720 --> 03:58:30.720
and we're going to split the map here very early on.

03:58:30.720 --> 03:58:38.360
early on I do like this for the Ezreal Niko lane. Try and take advantage of your range advantage.

03:58:38.360 --> 03:58:43.620
You get that poke to land with Ezreal Niko and it could be very very painful for that

03:58:43.620 --> 03:58:48.500
Nautilus lane and you take away the threat of enemy jungle coming to gank you early on

03:58:48.500 --> 03:58:52.600
and play off the Nautilus CC. But it's now over vision as the defensive

03:58:52.600 --> 03:58:56.480
ward there on red buff will alert them. Also the teleport on Duma, usually means he can

03:58:56.480 --> 03:59:00.440
be fairly vulnerable especially when the heal now burns if you can land that poke in the

03:59:00.440 --> 03:59:05.640
bottom lane for a potential dive, but Zeca trading well against Knight in this mid lane.

03:59:05.640 --> 03:59:10.520
Yeah, Zeca really has woken up this series, finding some angles in the previous game on

03:59:10.520 --> 03:59:14.060
the Victor, and now the Aurora looking good. This is a champion that he has found a lot

03:59:14.060 --> 03:59:20.180
of success on in the past. As each of these, just farming with piercing arrows here, understanding

03:59:20.180 --> 03:59:25.600
that this is not their strong side of the map. Canavi finishing off his blue side clear

03:59:25.600 --> 03:59:30.120
right now, but Shen right over there. Zeca continuing to lay down the hurt onto this

03:59:30.120 --> 03:59:33.560
Sorry on it in this early stage. Oh, so the reason actually coming through from shown

03:59:33.560 --> 03:59:36.500
So maybe trying to move up to protect his top side or at least look for the flies

03:59:36.980 --> 03:59:39.140
Here's to see now as he will pick up the longsword

03:59:40.060 --> 03:59:42.060
Take it to her here

03:59:42.380 --> 03:59:44.380
Interesting. Yeah, they do it

03:59:46.380 --> 03:59:53.020
Back to hit the button again. No, I didn't even I did that my voice would stop. It's not just like a normal button

03:59:53.020 --> 03:59:55.020
It's actually like a switch

03:59:55.020 --> 04:00:04.020
Well, we have absolutely no idea why this happened, so hopefully it's just someone needed to blow their nose and then we can get back to the game.

04:00:04.020 --> 04:00:05.020
I'm sorry.

04:00:05.020 --> 04:00:06.020
Yeah.

04:00:06.020 --> 04:00:08.020
Did you go out by pressing the button?

04:00:08.020 --> 04:00:09.020
It is.

04:00:09.020 --> 04:00:10.020
It would be a good idea.

04:00:10.020 --> 04:00:11.020
I didn't have to do it on my shirt.

04:00:11.020 --> 04:00:13.020
That was crazy.

04:00:13.020 --> 04:00:16.020
Man, I mean, if you don't have a tissue, I don't know.

04:00:16.020 --> 04:00:17.020
I mean, what am I supposed to do?

04:00:17.020 --> 04:00:19.020
I couldn't say anything because we were casting.

04:00:19.020 --> 04:00:20.020
Now you can.

04:00:20.020 --> 04:00:22.020
I'm in a white shirt.

04:00:22.020 --> 04:00:23.020
It doesn't show up on yours.

04:00:23.020 --> 04:00:26.340
Yeah, Atlas has my back. He saw this and he was like

04:00:28.180 --> 04:00:32.840
I pressed the button again my ruling from the officials a red card

04:00:42.980 --> 04:00:46.580
That's a red card for sure buddy you're out for the next game as well

04:00:47.700 --> 04:00:52.220
See look at that. Yeah provided tissue. Perfect. I got a new shirt

04:00:53.020 --> 04:00:55.020
You sure?

04:00:55.460 --> 04:01:02.020
Yeah, so each team got a pause and now the cast has got a pause on the English side. I think we need the Korean pause to come through.

04:01:02.020 --> 04:01:04.020
Yeah, that'll probably be the next one.

04:01:04.700 --> 04:01:10.780
We'll call Chips and Noisi whether they need a pause on the French side. We'll see. All right. So far though.

04:01:11.620 --> 04:01:15.220
We're just getting back into lane. It's still a complete mystery as to why that happened.

04:01:15.220 --> 04:01:19.420
Can Avi's in a bit of an awkward spot, right? Because he got the Raptor, sure, but his entire bot side was stolen.

04:01:19.420 --> 04:01:24.320
So now he's trying to go in and get the blue on the opposite end and it's Sean who's just trying to keep himself

04:01:25.160 --> 04:01:27.160
Keeping pace with Kenavi as well

04:01:27.160 --> 04:01:32.420
So Kenavi now going to be a little bit slower on his clear and you're also going to be looking to try to get this topside crab

04:01:32.620 --> 04:01:37.660
Maybe look to help that bit as well as that's a lot of damage. Yeah, I mean she takes the full blooming burst almost

04:01:38.260 --> 04:01:45.560
Interesting because he is out of potions, but as he said, you know, they're both running the teleports. They do have vision

04:01:45.560 --> 04:01:53.200
for a quick second there as the Niko walked up through the river so now we're

04:01:53.200 --> 04:01:56.920
gonna have an opportunity for Vi to come from tri-brush can they get a good

04:01:56.920 --> 04:02:00.840
angle on this Ezreal he's gonna go right into his hands yeah the flash does come

04:02:00.840 --> 04:02:05.640
forwards Kanabi just decides not to charge the vault breaker and look for the

04:02:05.640 --> 04:02:09.320
Viper angle might have had it on cooldown didn't quite see the Vi prior to

04:02:09.320 --> 04:02:14.120
that play I shouldn't gonna steal away some raptors that is gonna be that

04:02:14.120 --> 04:02:19.480
jungle still under control on VLG. Yeah, so Kanavi will be able to get the bot side scuttle,

04:02:19.480 --> 04:02:23.880
got the raptor e-spot, we have to pick up his wolves as well at some stage. So Kanavi definitely

04:02:23.880 --> 04:02:27.880
a little bit behind when it comes towards the pressure that's been put on to the early game.

04:02:27.880 --> 04:02:32.760
I know Sean knows that Delight has no flash, but e-spot it. Yeah, it's a nice little ward there.

04:02:33.400 --> 04:02:39.240
We made jelly. We'll be able to get this wave shoved on in, not pressing the dissonance button,

04:02:39.240 --> 04:02:42.200
but it looks like Zeke just wants to go back home. About a wave in the lead,

04:02:42.200 --> 04:02:47.160
that that should be somewhat evened out after this wave is taken down max range anchor to come through the nice buffer on the

04:02:47.160 --> 04:02:50.000
Arcane shift from Viper gets him out of the way

04:02:50.800 --> 04:02:53.620
Still the poke is now starting to rain true

04:02:54.760 --> 04:03:00.020
Yeah, Viper doing a pretty good job staying safe with all the early

04:03:02.400 --> 04:03:04.400
Zacharin a lot of trouble

04:03:04.400 --> 04:03:08.120
Minion getting a little bit faster as well. Oh man, though, so I think it's kind of a

04:03:08.120 --> 04:03:12.740
you know, hotel trying their best, but it's kind of just hitting each other, but

04:03:12.740 --> 04:03:16.400
cool noodles, you know. Yeah, yeah. And of course, let's look at the top lane.

04:03:16.400 --> 04:03:20.960
Yeah, well, I was also gonna say, you know, we also got the early look at Matt

04:03:20.960 --> 04:03:24.000
using his teleport to get back to lane super early on, because Zeka was poking

04:03:24.000 --> 04:03:28.120
him so hard, but Zeka still has his, so Zeka's gonna be able to use his to

04:03:28.120 --> 04:03:32.320
reset real quickly, and they do have a roam timer here, so Nautilus pushes mid

04:03:32.320 --> 04:03:36.760
with him while Kanavi's staring down these Raptors. Oh, Kanavi doesn't know that

04:03:36.760 --> 04:03:38.760
is there, does manage to catch him.

04:03:38.760 --> 04:03:41.760
Shun able to lock this one down nice anchor to connect.

04:03:41.760 --> 04:03:43.760
There is this cheap sweater there for Shun.

04:03:43.760 --> 04:03:45.760
Ah, sorry, four on.

04:03:45.760 --> 04:03:48.760
And we'll be able to at least distract the momentarily.

04:03:48.760 --> 04:03:50.760
Zeke now moving towards the top side,

04:03:50.760 --> 04:03:53.760
as Bin is fighting against Zeyas here in this top lane.

04:03:54.760 --> 04:03:55.760
And there's a Grim Deliverance.

04:03:55.760 --> 04:03:57.760
Bin gonna have to dash his way out of this one.

04:03:57.760 --> 04:03:58.760
The passive is stacked up.

04:03:58.760 --> 04:04:01.760
The Flash in, gets the meltup, and there is first blood.

04:04:01.760 --> 04:04:04.760
Over to Zeke, and anchor's gonna connect here as well.

04:04:04.760 --> 04:04:07.560
It's on taking the damage, but we'll be out of find the roots.

04:04:07.560 --> 04:04:10.320
I'm gonna have to walk out, but HLE with first blood

04:04:10.320 --> 04:04:12.000
and Zayas off to the races.

04:04:12.000 --> 04:04:15.040
HLE able to cover the rest of the members from BLG

04:04:15.040 --> 04:04:17.400
who are trying to get to that top lane.

04:04:17.400 --> 04:04:19.640
Beautiful play from HLE.

04:04:19.640 --> 04:04:21.720
The solo lanes working in tandem.

04:04:21.720 --> 04:04:25.600
It's not the counter pick that BLG were expecting in draft

04:04:25.600 --> 04:04:27.520
when they were flashing the Gwen,

04:04:27.520 --> 04:04:30.080
when they were flashing the other options.

04:04:30.080 --> 04:04:34.160
But it is the counter pick that Zayas will make work.

04:04:34.160 --> 04:04:37.480
And he gets in there, says, I am the top, playing God,

04:04:37.480 --> 04:04:41.080
as we have another invade over Raptors, who gets this one.

04:04:41.080 --> 04:04:43.400
And it's Knight, who gets this one.

04:04:43.400 --> 04:04:45.520
Yeah, Canavi decided Smite is not something

04:04:45.520 --> 04:04:47.200
that he needs when there's no jungler here,

04:04:47.200 --> 04:04:48.720
but he also doesn't have enough damage

04:04:48.720 --> 04:04:49.960
to kill it before Knight does.

04:04:49.960 --> 04:04:52.800
In this game, though, as opposed to the other game one,

04:04:52.800 --> 04:04:55.040
where BLG ribs get control as well.

04:04:55.040 --> 04:04:56.920
Like, the solo lanes are still working out

04:04:56.920 --> 04:04:57.960
super well, frankly.

04:04:57.960 --> 04:04:59.160
You've got a nice lead for yourself

04:04:59.160 --> 04:05:01.280
with the assist and a place for his ace.

04:05:01.280 --> 04:05:03.600
Zeca having that early kill is off to the races.

04:05:03.600 --> 04:05:06.260
So that's why we're seeing BLG now starting to move down to the bot lane

04:05:06.260 --> 04:05:08.640
in the hopes that they might be able to make something work.

04:05:08.640 --> 04:05:10.440
You do have the Pantheon in the jungle,

04:05:10.440 --> 04:05:12.640
but I don't think they're really going to be able to do too much.

04:05:13.640 --> 04:05:16.320
Viper is going to be pushing this on towards Gumiishi and Pillai.

04:05:16.320 --> 04:05:18.760
They're not looking for too much of an angle.

04:05:18.760 --> 04:05:20.200
There are a couple of Arianas on the map.

04:05:20.200 --> 04:05:21.920
I have a feeling the one in the bottom lane is no one.

04:05:21.920 --> 04:05:25.920
I got a little baited because in LEC, we have the name of Niko still there.

04:05:25.920 --> 04:05:27.600
Whereas in this, we don't, so...

04:05:27.600 --> 04:05:28.920
I got a little bit frightened.

04:05:28.920 --> 04:05:30.240
I did look at the mini-map and like,

04:05:30.240 --> 04:05:32.800
oh, so on his laning in the mid lane again, Sekka.

04:05:32.800 --> 04:05:35.800
I've got a solution guys. I have a solution. Let's pause.

04:05:37.800 --> 04:05:42.800
Chase, push the body. Push the body. I'm just kidding. I'll never speak of it again.

04:05:42.800 --> 04:05:46.800
No, but it does the edge. He doesn't have the little green glow as well.

04:05:46.800 --> 04:05:52.800
Okay, Skuttle Crab is up though. So, Nico and Pantheon here for the Skuttle Crab fight

04:05:52.800 --> 04:05:58.800
as Knight will also teleport back out now. They do have the early route for Konami to get the Crab,

04:05:58.800 --> 04:06:02.240
But going for a deeper play here,

04:06:02.240 --> 04:06:05.140
Shun does drop the ward which doesn't get swept.

04:06:05.140 --> 04:06:12.440
Alright, that is on that's going to deliver another Shun towards the jungle here.

04:06:12.440 --> 04:06:16.640
Zayas will be pushing Bin back as best he can.

04:06:16.640 --> 04:06:19.680
Zecker is actually losing out on some of these trades here in the mid lane.

04:06:19.680 --> 04:06:23.120
Knight with a lot of power now that the range has come on through level 7.

04:06:23.120 --> 04:06:26.560
Feeling a bit better here for the Orianna catalyst, it's going to be helping him a lot.

04:06:26.560 --> 04:06:31.040
BLG just moving on and shun up to make sure that he couldn't try and interact with Ben

04:06:31.040 --> 04:06:34.880
as he wanted to crash the wave so they're with the wave pushing back out in a much better

04:06:34.880 --> 04:06:35.880
spot.

04:06:35.880 --> 04:06:40.320
Void groups are up though and I think from this position with the early gold on Zeke

04:06:40.320 --> 04:06:44.560
I wouldn't be too surprised if HL are happy to take a fight here.

04:06:44.560 --> 04:06:49.360
Well Knight's moving over, Kanabi is going to pull off of these grubs as there is Zayas

04:06:49.360 --> 04:06:52.000
looking for some angles towards Ben but Ben went all out.

04:06:52.000 --> 04:06:54.760
Maybe he's going out of this top lane once again.

04:06:54.760 --> 04:06:57.760
Zayac's oversight step is going to mean that it's going to be alright.

04:06:57.760 --> 04:07:00.800
He didn't have the passive, so he's not going down just yet.

04:07:00.800 --> 04:07:04.760
And in fact, is able to walk it off for the moment.

04:07:04.760 --> 04:07:08.120
Yeah, now Delight looking to move his way in and the passive is gone.

04:07:08.120 --> 04:07:10.040
And so Zayac is just dead.

04:07:10.040 --> 04:07:12.720
Maybe he wanted to go for a little bit more of a fight there instead,

04:07:12.720 --> 04:07:14.240
but will be going down.

04:07:14.240 --> 04:07:16.320
That is a good answer and kill here from BLG.

04:07:16.320 --> 04:07:19.800
Yeah, he gets kited out in the roam over from the rest of BLG.

04:07:19.800 --> 04:07:20.880
They get the kill.

04:07:20.880 --> 04:07:23.680
They're also going to be able to get the grubs here at Delight.

04:07:23.680 --> 04:07:25.180
And Kanavi's still looking at them.

04:07:25.180 --> 04:07:26.780
He wants to seal away one.

04:07:26.780 --> 04:07:28.180
He's got a smite charge.

04:07:28.680 --> 04:07:30.680
Yeah, Anker going to connect somehow on tonight.

04:07:30.680 --> 04:07:32.080
That was a great thread of a needle.

04:07:32.080 --> 04:07:34.780
On the level 5 Delight, there was now on taking a lot of damage.

04:07:34.780 --> 04:07:35.780
There's the season assist.

04:07:35.780 --> 04:07:37.880
Trisha Paraj over the top of HLE's Kanavi.

04:07:37.880 --> 04:07:40.080
Trying to stay alive, but Vibe becomes on over

04:07:40.080 --> 04:07:40.980
to lock him down.

04:07:40.980 --> 04:07:42.380
The teleport in from Zayas.

04:07:42.380 --> 04:07:44.980
Now we know why they wanted to start this one is on.

04:07:44.980 --> 04:07:45.880
Having to get out of there.

04:07:45.880 --> 04:07:47.680
Guru Yushi moving up now as well.

04:07:47.680 --> 04:07:50.080
Has been in amongst the fight, but the chase of corruption

04:07:50.080 --> 04:07:53.360
Will hold him down, he tries to get away with the Grim Deliverance!

04:07:53.360 --> 04:07:57.320
He's going to come through for him's ass to block that one up, another anchor from Delight.

04:07:57.320 --> 04:08:01.000
He is threading the needle with a very large needle this game.

04:08:01.000 --> 04:08:05.000
As Knight will be interrupted momentarily, but HLE not going to go for too much more.

04:08:05.000 --> 04:08:07.680
Thought it might have been a bit more with that hook from Delight at the end,

04:08:07.680 --> 04:08:11.720
but everyone backs away, TP from Viper, back down to the bot lane,

04:08:11.720 --> 04:08:15.480
end up losing a wave to try and get to that top lane play,

04:08:15.480 --> 04:08:17.680
so he is going to be down a little bit on the CS,

04:08:17.680 --> 04:08:20.260
but still HLE, keeping that goal lead.

04:08:20.260 --> 04:08:22.160
Meanwhile, Gumi just walked mid

04:08:22.160 --> 04:08:23.760
and was able to push that wave in mid

04:08:23.760 --> 04:08:26.800
so it gets all the way to the tower, hits it as well.

04:08:26.800 --> 04:08:28.560
And he's gonna save his teleport.

04:08:28.560 --> 04:08:31.000
So let's take another look at the beginning.

04:08:31.000 --> 04:08:32.080
So it puts up his, you know,

04:08:32.080 --> 04:08:33.280
I've already from that side,

04:08:33.280 --> 04:08:35.200
but Flake went all the way through anyway

04:08:35.200 --> 04:08:37.480
and then should Flash is over to try and get the wrap round,

04:08:37.480 --> 04:08:40.680
but is still right next to Kanabi, ends up going down.

04:08:40.680 --> 04:08:43.440
And so it's a one-for-one as Viper has walked over

04:08:43.440 --> 04:08:44.720
and can help collect.

04:08:44.720 --> 04:08:46.960
Yeah, but it's again, the Flash burn by Delight,

04:08:46.960 --> 04:08:51.920
who nearly connects on towards the Hulk, but Binz in no man's land at this stage just trying to escape.

04:08:51.920 --> 04:08:58.000
Had the flash, but the amount of CC that comes through is just too much for him to try and get away from.

04:08:58.000 --> 04:09:01.040
In the meantime, we've got another battle as now Konami taking a lot of damage,

04:09:01.040 --> 04:09:05.600
Shun is walking on over, Bin going to come through, but Zes gets to the safety of his turret.

04:09:05.600 --> 04:09:10.400
Perhaps a little bit of an overextension on Konami's side is now looking for an answer here in the

04:09:10.400 --> 04:09:14.960
bottom lane. Gumiishi should be able to at least get a plate or two, but that is going to be it

04:09:14.960 --> 04:09:17.360
as the piercing arrow does come down as well.

04:09:17.360 --> 04:09:19.520
The never-ending grub fights.

04:09:19.520 --> 04:09:23.200
We've had more kills up there than the grubs have been taken.

04:09:23.200 --> 04:09:24.800
That's 1H, yeah.

04:09:24.800 --> 04:09:26.080
Still only 1H.

04:09:26.080 --> 04:09:27.760
Guma, meanwhile, again, he still

04:09:27.760 --> 04:09:29.280
was able to hold onto his teleport.

04:09:29.280 --> 04:09:32.520
So it's two teleport advantages to HLE

04:09:32.520 --> 04:09:34.120
with all this scramble going on.

04:09:34.120 --> 04:09:36.640
Both Second and Guma have theirs.

04:09:36.640 --> 04:09:38.800
But with the extra map pressure, this

04:09:38.800 --> 04:09:41.360
is going the way of BLG as Vin is up to the tower again,

04:09:41.360 --> 04:09:42.560
getting more turret plate money.

04:09:42.560 --> 04:09:43.680
But it's also look at Knight.

04:09:43.680 --> 04:09:50.480
he got those three kills, he's finished in front of Aegis, he had Darkseal, so we got six stacks of the Darkseal.

04:09:50.480 --> 04:09:57.480
Nice, very much accelerated in this game, whereas for HLE, it's kind of odds and ends across the board.

04:09:57.480 --> 04:10:04.580
Yeah, all of a sudden, Knight is an absolute monster. We did know that that is something to be feared as far as his pick is concerned.

04:10:04.580 --> 04:10:09.780
We didn't need to give him a killing spree at the beginning of this game on HLE's side.

04:10:09.780 --> 04:10:12.740
Still, Gumiishi getting kills. Always a great thing.

04:10:12.740 --> 04:10:17.300
Zaka also being able to get 100% kill contribution as well as kill himself.

04:10:17.300 --> 04:10:18.660
He's going to feel nice.

04:10:18.660 --> 04:10:22.340
He's on trying to get Delight out of his jungle, but that is not going to quite work.

04:10:22.340 --> 04:10:25.380
As they actually take the first straight, next one going to be a cloud.

04:10:25.380 --> 04:10:27.140
As Delight looking for a hook angle.

04:10:27.140 --> 04:10:28.580
See whether he can actually get in there.

04:10:28.580 --> 04:10:30.660
Does find it on to on.

04:10:30.660 --> 04:10:31.940
And there's the seasoned assist.

04:10:31.940 --> 04:10:33.540
They should be able to get the Nico here.

04:10:33.540 --> 04:10:36.340
Gap's charge is on to the Ezreal though.

04:10:36.340 --> 04:10:38.180
So on will be able to escape.

04:10:38.180 --> 04:10:44.260
bolt breaker gets Kanavi out. That felt like a free kill. Support honor? Yeah. It's like,

04:10:44.260 --> 04:10:48.260
you know, I mean, I was calling a panic if you want to go on. I didn't think that you could

04:10:48.260 --> 04:10:50.900
get a refund if you got something for free, but that's what they did.

04:10:52.580 --> 04:10:57.140
All right. Well, second now back in this mid lane against night and everything is just

04:10:57.140 --> 04:11:02.020
calmed down once again. Until we go back to boycubs. There's the local available. So

04:11:02.980 --> 04:11:06.500
and also I love the fact we're getting this heavy trading in the top side as well as they

04:11:06.500 --> 04:11:08.500
really wanted to push the advantage in the matchup.

04:11:08.500 --> 04:11:10.500
That would have been a good side step though.

04:11:10.500 --> 04:11:12.500
Yeah, great shockwave here from Knight to Holtecker in position.

04:11:12.500 --> 04:11:15.500
The dissonance comes down as they're the next part from Delight.

04:11:15.500 --> 04:11:19.500
Looks for the angle. Does not quite get it there on tonight.

04:11:19.500 --> 04:11:22.500
And I'm really glad that Delight is looking for these angles,

04:11:22.500 --> 04:11:26.500
looking for these plays on this Nautilus here in this game.

04:11:26.500 --> 04:11:28.500
Where's that pesky grove?

04:11:28.500 --> 04:11:31.500
Again, they really do have to be proactive with this comp here,

04:11:31.500 --> 04:11:35.500
trying to create some plays and getting the vision is the first step.

04:11:35.500 --> 04:11:41.140
first step. So uses his reset walkout mid and then look for another setup here. Again,

04:11:41.140 --> 04:11:46.020
Shun's Pantheon Ultimate though is going to be up very, very shortly so they can look

04:11:46.020 --> 04:11:52.140
to make one of these side plays with it and put a stop to the proactive HLE.

04:11:52.140 --> 04:11:56.100
So I got some great vision on that top side though. So if you want to try and notify that

04:11:56.100 --> 04:12:00.180
Pantheon ult, having an idea of where the camps are going to be spawning is the first

04:12:00.180 --> 04:12:04.340
stop of understanding where this Pantheon has access to. So with us, it is going to

04:12:04.340 --> 04:12:09.340
taking those Grubbs, you can expect that BLG's jungler is going to be on the bottom side.

04:12:09.340 --> 04:12:13.340
So the Aurora just going to back away for Zeke, not wanting to contest this Orianna.

04:12:13.340 --> 04:12:17.340
Yeah, the manager's clear out the wave as well, so no harm, no foul.

04:12:17.340 --> 04:12:20.340
And the Raptors are going to be the trade here for Shun.

04:12:20.340 --> 04:12:23.340
You can see in the jungle things very, very even.

04:12:23.340 --> 04:12:25.340
Same did he say, but the top side of the map.

04:12:25.340 --> 04:12:30.340
And you've got a 700 Gold lead for Knight with those three kills.

04:12:30.340 --> 04:12:35.300
still very even on farm but that rot of ages starting to stack up and you were talking about the

04:12:35.300 --> 04:12:40.980
dark seal very scary with all of those extra stats that you do get from those early stacks that

04:12:40.980 --> 04:12:47.060
he's picked up. Xehas here has the hard task of dealing with this Orianna who is now just eating

04:12:47.060 --> 04:12:52.180
plates. I will say though this is where knight is at his most vulnerable like if Delike can get in

04:12:52.180 --> 04:12:56.420
here which he's trying to or you get that point and click with the cease and assist in the buy

04:12:56.420 --> 04:13:01.720
Knight will go down to Azir, so you definitely want BLG to be able to protect him.

04:13:01.720 --> 04:13:07.420
And at the moment, you do have on here, but that's not a huge amount to try and help out with three members of HLE here.

04:13:07.420 --> 04:13:11.420
But think for HLE, as Konabi goes for it anyway.

04:13:11.420 --> 04:13:17.420
Yeah, on, taking a bit of damage. Konabi sidesteps on those Tanglebob, scants the ball, break a max range.

04:13:17.420 --> 04:13:21.420
Season assists, they hold him in position. The Shockwave's decent, but the hook is better.

04:13:21.420 --> 04:13:23.220
Shun's still gonna make his way down though.

04:13:23.220 --> 04:13:25.140
The grand start forward's going for the group deliverance.

04:13:25.140 --> 04:13:26.260
Looking to turn the play around.

04:13:26.260 --> 04:13:28.340
Got some knock-up on the map, but still, he dies.

04:13:28.340 --> 04:13:29.820
Couldn't stack it up.

04:13:29.820 --> 04:13:32.140
And now, Gumi-Yoshi turns up.

04:13:32.140 --> 04:13:34.500
Looks to get the snipe on Naito's nearly enough damage,

04:13:34.500 --> 04:13:36.460
and Shun picks up a double,

04:13:36.460 --> 04:13:39.380
and it's Blast Cones for the escape here for HLE.

04:13:39.380 --> 04:13:41.700
BLG protects the play.

04:13:41.700 --> 04:13:45.060
HLE knew to try and jump on Nait,

04:13:45.060 --> 04:13:48.660
but the backup is there, and BLG responds.

04:13:48.660 --> 04:13:49.980
Yeah, Shun had just reset.

04:13:49.980 --> 04:13:51.420
a good flash from him as well.

04:13:51.420 --> 04:13:53.980
Can I just not have ult so there's no real pressure here

04:13:53.980 --> 04:13:56.380
on Knight as he's going to be able to push in again.

04:13:56.380 --> 04:14:00.980
And Knight is so dangerous on this Orianna.

04:14:00.980 --> 04:14:02.820
Being protected, getting more money,

04:14:02.820 --> 04:14:06.420
1,000 now is the individual goal lead for him

04:14:06.420 --> 04:14:09.860
and up to eight stacks after the skirmish.

04:14:09.860 --> 04:14:11.580
And second must be feeling pretty annoyed

04:14:11.580 --> 04:14:15.780
that his lane opponent just keeps getting more and more money

04:14:15.780 --> 04:14:16.940
here in this game.

04:14:16.940 --> 04:14:19.220
Obviously not going to be matching up against him as much

04:14:19.220 --> 04:14:22.920
as this game continues, it's one of those interesting stories though as he's being the

04:14:22.920 --> 04:14:28.340
benefactor of just being in these fights at the right times and not accelerating himself

04:14:28.340 --> 04:14:33.300
to a brilliant position very early on in this game and it's exactly how an Orianna wants

04:14:33.300 --> 04:14:34.300
to be positioned.

04:14:34.300 --> 04:14:39.620
So, Konami here is going to force on, I was wondering if they were going to be more cautious

04:14:39.620 --> 04:14:44.420
in respect to Pantheon ult, Pantheon had just reset into the fountain but didn't have vision

04:14:44.420 --> 04:14:48.140
but they do get the kill, they actually click on on this time so they do finish them off

04:14:48.140 --> 04:14:52.800
but should arrives with Viper, look at how quickly they can actually kill Zayas here.

04:14:52.800 --> 04:14:56.560
Viper with his lethal tempo stacked up, and it should flash this here,

04:14:56.560 --> 04:14:59.440
the ultimate critical so that they can then follow.

04:14:59.440 --> 04:15:03.880
And also there's the fact that HLE went for this play as Goomayushi had reset in mid lane,

04:15:03.880 --> 04:15:09.080
so Viper was able to move down to the play without his counterpart on HLE being able to respond.

04:15:09.080 --> 04:15:13.080
Tonight now once more in this side lane, but much more attention to the top lane.

04:15:13.080 --> 04:15:19.000
Now, Kanavi, let's get onto his grump. He's got a few friends in the area, as Shun and

04:15:19.000 --> 04:15:23.480
An on both, moving up, looking for a bit of an angle. They're taking some damage here

04:15:23.480 --> 04:15:28.000
as well as, yeah, not having a great time in tonight right now. At least he has an old

04:15:28.000 --> 04:15:31.320
magic mantle. It just doesn't look like it's doing all that much, as the alternator has

04:15:31.320 --> 04:15:39.160
now been purchased by Knight. And Rift Herald, we're going to be started up. Piper moving

04:15:39.160 --> 04:15:44.760
over. And I think that they should be able to get this. Can I be not looking too interested

04:15:44.760 --> 04:15:48.500
maybe going for a trade, grabbing a double dragon if they could. They aren't be aligning

04:15:48.500 --> 04:15:52.480
in that direction. They have a lot of vision towards this bottom side.

04:15:52.480 --> 04:15:56.520
Hexac protobel is just completed for night though. Two items like kind of nice here for

04:15:56.520 --> 04:16:00.920
the Orianna if BLG want to contest. But honestly, I think with the position they're in, they're

04:16:00.920 --> 04:16:04.560
just going to be happy to take the plate for a bit in the top side, put a bit more pressure.

04:16:04.560 --> 04:16:07.600
But as I say that, they're moving in. I think this dragon is gone.

04:16:07.600 --> 04:16:10.820
Yeah, that's just going to be taken here by Kanabi.

04:16:10.820 --> 04:16:14.860
Yeah, I mean, good lead-up vision all around through the jungle of BLG.

04:16:14.860 --> 04:16:19.360
So we're able to slip in and take it, keep their dragon stacking going.

04:16:19.360 --> 04:16:22.160
They do still have to be fairly cautious.

04:16:22.160 --> 04:16:25.500
I mean, Knight still has that loss in spring on this champion.

04:16:25.500 --> 04:16:27.660
His KDA is 34.7.

04:16:27.660 --> 04:16:28.960
That's a big one.

04:16:28.960 --> 04:16:29.660
Currently on this one.

04:16:29.660 --> 04:16:32.160
Of course, you get to throw lots of Knights that's around.

04:16:32.160 --> 04:16:35.660
But from how dominant he has been.

04:16:35.660 --> 04:16:37.960
But it's always fun to throw him around anyway.

04:16:38.960 --> 04:16:41.760
Go on, does find a little bit of an angle here, doesn't have a lot of follow-up,

04:16:41.760 --> 04:16:43.460
but Gumiushi still takes some damage.

04:16:43.460 --> 04:16:45.860
Perdabelt is done for the Niko as well.

04:16:47.860 --> 04:16:52.060
Question will be, will they actually be able to get that kill on him?

04:16:52.060 --> 04:16:56.860
With their Vi, with their Nautilus, they have so much possibility of getting a good flank,

04:16:56.860 --> 04:17:02.460
but everybody's going bottom, so kind of hard to go attack knight and even get his flash

04:17:02.460 --> 04:17:08.460
when all of BLG consistently are leaning to that side of the map and playing around him when he's pushing up to a tower.

04:17:08.460 --> 04:17:13.460
So with Flash, with Proto Belt, you actually have quite a lot of mobility on this champion.

04:17:13.460 --> 04:17:19.460
And we'll see if HLE are able to get one of their flanks off with this team comp.

04:17:19.460 --> 04:17:26.460
This can be devastating, you know. What is the heading from one side, and then Aurora from the other, but top side, they're actually making a play now.

04:17:26.460 --> 04:17:30.620
going to jump on top of Zayas here is, for him, deliverance is an interesting choice.

04:17:30.620 --> 04:17:37.100
Zayas is just going to get the dash out of the Asante, so the Conbe's goal grind between

04:17:37.100 --> 04:17:45.220
Zeca and Knight, Knight still in a lot of control. 1500, the lead for him. And Zayas,

04:17:45.220 --> 04:17:48.580
now, I mean, now that he's landing against Bin, I think he's feeling a lot better.

04:17:48.580 --> 04:17:52.220
Yeah, I mean, you can see how passive Knight is playing once he doesn't have his jungler

04:17:52.220 --> 04:17:55.820
in spawn on that side of the map. He's like, look, I'm going to back away, even with starting

04:17:55.820 --> 04:18:01.100
of Warden Tribrush, which kind of just says he does not want to give this gold over.

04:18:01.100 --> 04:18:05.120
And as long as BLG, I have to keep him safe, play for these dragons.

04:18:05.120 --> 04:18:06.820
I think you're in an okay spot.

04:18:06.820 --> 04:18:12.300
But for HLE, it is kind of trying to find those moments where you get a play towards

04:18:12.300 --> 04:18:17.180
Viper or towards being, or if Knight is overextended to get this gold back in your favor.

04:18:17.180 --> 04:18:18.740
And this is a close game, guys.

04:18:18.740 --> 04:18:19.740
Yeah.

04:18:19.740 --> 04:18:20.740
700 gold.

04:18:20.740 --> 04:18:21.740
This is crap.

04:18:21.740 --> 04:18:22.740
That's 20 minutes.

04:18:22.740 --> 04:18:23.740
We did it.

04:18:23.740 --> 04:18:24.740
Finally.

04:18:24.740 --> 04:18:34.980
I really, really want to see if at the next, wait a second, there it is, Grastofl to come

04:18:34.980 --> 04:18:35.980
on through.

04:18:35.980 --> 04:18:40.980
Seuss, trying to get to the next brush, should move it over, and just wanders it off.

04:18:40.980 --> 04:18:45.980
Yeah, shouldn't kind of check a couple different angles here, but this is straight walked out.

04:18:45.980 --> 04:18:46.980
Yeah.

04:18:46.980 --> 04:18:47.980
Through the brush there, and now they get a pick of their own.

04:18:47.980 --> 04:18:51.980
Gank is going to miss with the change of corruption through land, and there is ongoing

04:18:51.980 --> 04:18:52.980
down.

04:18:52.980 --> 04:18:57.620
I'll take any pick that they can get as Knight was picking up that way towards the topside

04:18:57.620 --> 04:19:01.780
only a couple of plates left up there and HLE are able to now get some invading done.

04:19:01.780 --> 04:19:09.700
Beautiful, catch on in the rotation over, point and click, see him and kill him immediately. Nice

04:19:09.700 --> 04:19:14.180
follow up there with the lockdown but still we're looking at this next dragon. This next dragon,

04:19:14.180 --> 04:19:20.340
while it's not dragon soul, it is kind of a pivot point in the game and if HLE can get their vision

04:19:20.340 --> 04:19:26.500
set up leading up to the dragon, then it gives them way better area to create the dream team

04:19:26.500 --> 04:19:30.820
fight that they have with these champions that are trying to get the pincer, trying to get that dive.

04:19:30.820 --> 04:19:35.620
Oh, Stormstar is just completed on Zac as well off that reset. He's in a very good spot to follow

04:19:35.620 --> 04:19:40.980
up on the buying gage, find that burst. Even if you do have some of the mobility on picks like

04:19:40.980 --> 04:19:45.700
this Ezreal, you still have the opportunity to burst him out with just how much raw damage

04:19:45.700 --> 04:19:47.700
He's available for HLE right now.

04:19:47.700 --> 04:19:48.300
Poof.

04:19:48.300 --> 04:19:49.800
Knight with an armguard also though.

04:19:49.800 --> 04:19:52.500
Man, there's just more safety layers here.

04:19:52.500 --> 04:19:57.300
Proto belt with the armguard, with the flash as well.

04:19:57.300 --> 04:19:58.700
He is very scary.

04:19:58.700 --> 04:20:02.600
I think on BLG's side, they just need to trust in Knight.

04:20:02.600 --> 04:20:06.300
And that has been a pretty good strategy so far this year.

04:20:06.300 --> 04:20:09.500
Many years in the past as well.

04:20:09.500 --> 04:20:10.800
But Zecker is still strong.

04:20:10.800 --> 04:20:12.800
You mentioned the storm surge does have that one,

04:20:12.800 --> 04:20:15.760
so that the between worlds can certainly hurt.

04:20:15.760 --> 04:20:17.840
And each of these still have the composition

04:20:17.840 --> 04:20:20.280
that can select a target to die.

04:20:20.280 --> 04:20:21.920
As, all right, there's a little bit of a route

04:20:21.920 --> 04:20:24.040
onto Zekker is on taking a lot of damage here.

04:20:24.040 --> 04:20:25.000
We'll be able to back away.

04:20:25.000 --> 04:20:26.960
This night just deals with this top out of turret.

04:20:26.960 --> 04:20:29.240
Yeah, I feel to you basically get a note of free lane saying,

04:20:29.240 --> 04:20:31.120
hey, you go hit level 16, buddy.

04:20:31.120 --> 04:20:32.960
Next wave should give it to the Orianna.

04:20:32.960 --> 04:20:35.400
And that would be a devastating shockwave

04:20:35.400 --> 04:20:36.840
if it connects in a flight.

04:20:38.000 --> 04:20:40.120
Pharrell and Lord would be proud.

04:20:40.120 --> 04:20:40.960
It's okay.

04:20:40.960 --> 04:20:44.800
second now. That's a very old reference, I apologize. I think that one's going to

04:20:44.800 --> 04:20:49.360
reach for three thousand yellow shots. I got you buddy. Yeah, thankfully, I knew you

04:20:49.360 --> 04:20:50.960
were there, Kobi.

04:20:50.960 --> 04:20:56.800
There's a group of Cliz out this way, and the Cassante towards the bottom side is going

04:20:56.800 --> 04:21:00.800
to be getting that one pushed forward as well. HLE, still with a composition that can certainly

04:21:00.800 --> 04:21:05.280
tango later on into the game as well. The Rift Herald is going to come on down, and

04:21:05.280 --> 04:21:09.840
BLG, I'm just seeing like Viper on Ezreal. This guy's been a magician late game on

04:21:09.840 --> 04:21:15.760
this champion, and Orianna needs no introduction as far as value later on is concerned.

04:21:15.760 --> 04:21:19.520
The Rift Herald is not going to do very much of anything at all, as On goes maybe a little

04:21:19.520 --> 04:21:20.520
bit too deep.

04:21:20.520 --> 04:21:24.960
They do manage to take down a turret here as the dragon is going to be secured by Shun.

04:21:24.960 --> 04:21:28.520
But to try and turn it here onto the light, we need a depth charge to come through to

04:21:28.520 --> 04:21:29.520
get the knockup.

04:21:29.520 --> 04:21:33.760
On to Shun is now by for trying to play off to the side, and Zayus, can he stack up the

04:21:33.760 --> 04:21:34.760
passive this on the answers?

04:21:34.760 --> 04:21:38.680
Yes, Grim Deliverance is going to come in, but it's going to be a taxi out for Bin.

04:21:38.680 --> 04:21:43.960
They kill him though before he can escape, and on his turn through the wall as between worlds came on down.

04:21:43.960 --> 04:21:48.040
Viper playing his way out, go just leave the, yeah they ship the double kill!

04:21:48.040 --> 04:21:51.560
And there's the resurrection, but where is he being resurrected to?

04:21:51.560 --> 04:21:55.240
Asaius comes up and kind of wishes he had a stay down.

04:21:55.240 --> 04:22:01.240
BLG protect the president! Nice will not go down! On!

04:22:01.240 --> 04:22:06.040
What a massive pop blossom wins the fight for BLG!

04:22:06.040 --> 04:22:07.880
They do not hesitate.

04:22:07.880 --> 04:22:09.200
They force the light out of the fight,

04:22:09.200 --> 04:22:10.400
so much image in him.

04:22:10.400 --> 04:22:12.080
He does the ultimate flash away,

04:22:12.080 --> 04:22:14.240
and then look at the re-engage.

04:22:14.240 --> 04:22:18.240
They do get the passive stack up for Zeyas,

04:22:18.240 --> 04:22:19.600
and he gets his ultimate over,

04:22:19.600 --> 04:22:22.280
but everybody collapses back into the scoreboard.

04:22:22.280 --> 04:22:25.560
The shockwaves hit that on strikes.

04:22:25.560 --> 04:22:28.840
Huge shockwave, the pop plus of the follow.

04:22:28.840 --> 04:22:31.880
The snipe onto Guma Yushi with this fear.

04:22:31.880 --> 04:22:38.720
BLG may have just ripped the heart out of HLE with that play.

04:22:38.720 --> 04:22:42.960
And if you didn't think BLG champions did enough damage,

04:22:42.960 --> 04:22:45.040
did you see the coach replay?

04:22:45.040 --> 04:22:46.040
Oh!

04:22:46.040 --> 04:22:48.120
As well!

04:22:48.120 --> 04:22:52.840
Oh, man, Danny, absolutely popping off in the coaches' booth.

04:22:52.840 --> 04:22:55.040
And they pick up the Baron off the back of this as well.

04:22:55.040 --> 04:22:56.960
He can understand the celebration.

04:22:56.960 --> 04:22:58.880
700 gold on the Rebel Baron power play.

04:22:58.880 --> 04:23:01.480
But that will be extended, even if it is

04:23:01.480 --> 04:23:09.020
and early Baron, 3.4 thousand is the largest league we've had so far this game because it's been a flatline throughout it so far.

04:23:09.640 --> 04:23:17.220
And now after this, I mean 10 out of 10 for Knight. That's his kill participation as well as his performance so far in this game.

04:23:17.820 --> 04:23:19.220
Unbelievable stuff.

04:23:19.740 --> 04:23:25.540
And there's your Ezreal stats atlas for Viper, his most played champion and Knight's most played champion in the same game.

04:23:26.980 --> 04:23:29.920
And this is something that Viper got some notoriety on

04:23:29.920 --> 04:23:37.920
For quite some years, both in the LCK and the LPL, continuing to play fantastically.

04:23:37.920 --> 04:23:41.920
Let's see whether HLE have got a miracle in them.

04:23:41.920 --> 04:23:46.920
Obviously it's not the same kind of snowball that we saw in the first three games, but it's getting close.

04:23:46.920 --> 04:23:49.920
They're trying to leave Zayas in towards his mid lane.

04:23:49.920 --> 04:23:55.920
Taking the Raptors, thinking about a flank for BLG congregating on this bottom side as they get the wave pushed in.

04:23:55.920 --> 04:23:59.520
It is difficult to kill this bar and up creep without the virus.

04:23:59.520 --> 04:24:02.520
So you should take a pop shot to the tower and BLG happy to support it.

04:24:03.720 --> 04:24:05.920
And yeah, they just can't walk towards the orb.

04:24:05.920 --> 04:24:07.720
The orb is just too frightening.

04:24:07.720 --> 04:24:09.520
That's his onus fully completed here.

04:24:09.520 --> 04:24:14.320
10 stacks on the dark seal and Knight absolutely off to the races.

04:24:15.320 --> 04:24:19.120
And that stick on Zekka that we were talking about in the previous game,

04:24:19.120 --> 04:24:21.120
where it was like, that's the advantage that he has.

04:24:21.320 --> 04:24:24.920
It is now not looking very similar at all.

04:24:24.920 --> 04:24:28.920
as completed items are just coming through thick and fast here for night.

04:24:28.920 --> 04:24:30.920
Is that Kanavi looking for an angle though?

04:24:30.920 --> 04:24:34.920
He could go between the worlds as night taking some damage, piercing arrow, going to connect there as well.

04:24:34.920 --> 04:24:38.920
At least I think he did, as Kanavi going to eat some honey fruit.

04:24:38.920 --> 04:24:41.920
Doesn't want to take that risk as yeah, looking for Zayas here towards his topside.

04:24:41.920 --> 04:24:46.920
Brandstoffel does bring Shun up there as now Viper possibly caught out of position.

04:24:46.920 --> 04:24:53.920
Kanavi going to be dancing away from him though, and now we'll see whether Zayas can keep himself alive for long enough to get that passage back up again.

04:24:53.920 --> 04:24:59.060
The Grim Deliverance comes down, Poplos and Gainer connect, and they destroy Zayas!

04:24:59.060 --> 04:25:01.980
HLE did get one back on to Omnop.

04:25:01.980 --> 04:25:07.940
Yeah, Omnop was stuck inside the Baron pit, and they actually do pull one back for HLE.

04:25:07.940 --> 04:25:11.300
So a little bit of room to work with as they wrote to everyone mid, and we'll get the tower

04:25:11.300 --> 04:25:12.300
off at.

04:25:12.300 --> 04:25:16.480
So honestly, HLE, coming at the better for Weraff without sure you do lose Zayas, but

04:25:16.480 --> 04:25:20.700
you get a kill, you get the tower, you get so much needed gold, even having Zeck in this

04:25:20.700 --> 04:25:25.660
bottom side for the majority of that picking up some of the creep waves. I mean, those are the kind

04:25:25.660 --> 04:25:31.020
of mistakes that you want to see BLG make. And Gumiishi does have three items completed. We know

04:25:31.020 --> 04:25:36.940
that his Varus can be absolutely devastating. This is about the stage of the game where he is

04:25:36.940 --> 04:25:42.060
going to have maximum value because Bin is starting to get very, very large and Lothality Varus not

04:25:42.060 --> 04:25:48.300
as good at getting through these tanks. VaughnMail he's done, maybe it's uh it might be... I think it's

04:25:48.300 --> 04:25:53.460
just on this yeah but it'll be hard he could just steal two dragons how about

04:25:53.460 --> 04:25:59.420
that and a Baron it is gonna that's yeah that's that's move

04:25:59.420 --> 04:26:04.580
do you think it steals some objectives for HLE because BLG have the gold

04:26:04.580 --> 04:26:10.620
advantage and it's concentrated gold advantage you know a lot on tonight on

04:26:10.620 --> 04:26:15.660
to this Orianna champion with the Meta so it's incredibly efficient here for

04:26:15.660 --> 04:26:20.400
their team, and they do have a lot of ways to deliver this shockwave. With

04:26:20.400 --> 04:26:24.740
shouldn't having a guardian angel, the Pantheon could just flash stun right

04:26:24.740 --> 04:26:30.180
into their point click and try to be the delivery. So dragon will be avoided for

04:26:30.180 --> 04:26:36.180
now for HLE. Guma not in sight, so your smite is safe. Yep, and HLE probably pretty

04:26:36.180 --> 04:26:39.500
happy that it's an ocean soul this game as well. A couple of ocean dragons not

04:26:39.500 --> 04:26:43.740
gonna be end of the world for them to give up, but that will start to get more

04:26:43.740 --> 04:26:51.340
more dangerous as we look down the barrel of things like three and four of them, which can start to become a little bit of a problem.

04:26:51.340 --> 04:26:53.900
But buying themselves about five minutes of respite,

04:26:53.900 --> 04:26:57.180
Mr. Chopperage sailing down this mid lane one more time.

04:26:57.180 --> 04:27:00.940
This Goldlee hasn't extended past that 4,000 gold mark.

04:27:01.660 --> 04:27:05.500
As a clone gets broken like a vault with their own award though, they don't realize.

04:27:07.100 --> 04:27:09.580
Well, can I actually keep them interested though? That's the question.

04:27:09.580 --> 04:27:16.580
I do think though for BLG you are pretty reliant on having the Baron to try and get it through these other turrets, right?

04:27:16.580 --> 04:27:26.580
And I think this is kind of the thing we've seen a lot, is that especially when you're up against like the Pope Varys, the Quaid Clear from Zeke as well, that without us, I think it's a lot more difficult to push this game forward.

04:27:26.580 --> 04:27:31.460
you're up against like the Pope Varys, the Quaid clear from Zeke as well. That went out thus,

04:27:31.460 --> 04:27:36.180
I think it's a lot more difficult to push this game forward. Also, HLE just abandoned dragons and

04:27:36.180 --> 04:27:40.580
said, yeah, we're going to just play for sides. So that goalie is going to stagnate for a little

04:27:40.580 --> 04:27:46.340
bit, at least for 50 seconds. Yeah, it's just too dangerous. If you funnel in and you're trying to

04:27:46.340 --> 04:27:51.220
siege, then there's a lot of angles for HLE to get these engages off with their Nihilus Vi

04:27:51.220 --> 04:27:57.340
combinations and so stick to the safer game plan out in the neutral territory

04:27:57.340 --> 04:28:01.420
here and just look to the bar in 30 seconds and then you can try and draw

04:28:01.420 --> 04:28:06.780
HLE over to area that you already have controlled with vision and they're

04:28:06.780 --> 04:28:09.660
gonna find. Yep that's gonna be the grandstaff hole.

04:28:09.660 --> 04:28:13.380
Shun a little bit further away from Shun from Zayas that he wants to be and

04:28:13.380 --> 04:28:17.140
Delight is gonna be there for the defense. The anchor is going to land. Flash out

04:28:17.140 --> 04:28:20.380
though from Delight didn't really like that angle very much as he spots on

04:28:20.380 --> 04:28:26.740
coming out of the tri-brouch. Good control here for BLG. They look to just really isolate

04:28:26.740 --> 04:28:30.500
his baron, make sure there is no vision as Kanavi goes in. Not sure about that one.

04:28:30.500 --> 04:28:34.220
Zayas off to the other side is making that one work, but Zayas second goes between the

04:28:34.220 --> 04:28:38.500
world's viper. Off to the side is tagged by Delight. Shun now getting taken down to the

04:28:38.500 --> 04:28:43.740
GA and Kanavi just going to die because he doesn't have that item. Zayas should be able

04:28:43.740 --> 04:28:49.500
to use his passive to stay alive, but once again there are a few too many people in the

04:28:49.500 --> 04:28:55.260
vicinity. He does get the ulti, crashes down on top of Shonan. He's going to be executed as well,

04:28:55.260 --> 04:29:00.860
as Bin is looking for the angle. Sekiro and Gumiushi still alive to life, limping from the battle,

04:29:00.860 --> 04:29:06.700
and there is Bin taking him down. Gumi will be ushered towards his inhibitor, but is he even

04:29:06.700 --> 04:29:13.020
safe there? There's an orb on top of Bin making him nearly immortal, and Gumiushi will be obliterated

04:29:13.020 --> 04:29:19.660
by this Cassante second now with a couple of invaders in his house. We're gonna try and see

04:29:19.660 --> 04:29:23.820
whether he can get rid of them at BLG. They just want to head over towards maybe a baron,

04:29:23.820 --> 04:29:29.660
but they don't have a jungler. Yeah, BLG, they will chase Guma to the ends of the earth there

04:29:29.660 --> 04:29:35.420
inside your own base and they finish the kill. They'll finish the tower and they will turn

04:29:35.420 --> 04:29:40.780
to finish the job. They increase their gold lead and they still have the vision set up from the

04:29:40.780 --> 04:29:45.340
previous time so they can go reset and then return to Baron again. Yeah I think

04:29:45.340 --> 04:29:48.420
that might have been the best opportunity for HLE because there was a

04:29:48.420 --> 04:29:52.420
couple of whoopsies when it came towards the ultimates from BLG. But BLG

04:29:52.420 --> 04:29:57.220
still able to make it work. I was on 7th, 4th, what's up Kanavi but I don't think it

04:29:57.220 --> 04:30:01.220
would be much else. Just being in use since I was honest one to do, I will say.

04:30:01.220 --> 04:30:04.700
But yeah we'll see it in this fight right because you get this as Kanavi goes in

04:30:04.700 --> 04:30:08.020
the shockwave doesn't connect onto Kanavi and I think that's why HLE both

04:30:08.020 --> 04:30:12.500
to miss thinking maybe they've got a chance here but as they start to follow through so like it's

04:30:12.500 --> 04:30:16.660
first step by Viper they can't really get on towards nice they're just doing a good job of

04:30:16.660 --> 04:30:22.420
keeping Zeus out of the equation and even as they try to go in to help out Zeus on completely

04:30:22.420 --> 04:30:27.380
riffs on the pop blossom as well in just a moment as he tries to go forward into Zeka but still

04:30:27.380 --> 04:30:33.860
PLG just too much damage from Viper at night right now. Yeah I mean even with the flash into the pit

04:30:33.860 --> 04:30:38.900
and the whiff there. As you say, with the extra chase down here, they can follow them

04:30:38.900 --> 04:30:44.180
inside the base, get the extra kill, and then as we're looking at it, again, return to the Baron

04:30:44.180 --> 04:30:49.060
setup. You still have the vision work that you did last time around to play off of. They can just

04:30:49.060 --> 04:30:55.060
repeat the process. Well, they do get some information as to what's happening on this Baron,

04:30:55.620 --> 04:30:59.060
but the Nanna brush control is going to be there for BLG there, ready for the turn.

04:30:59.060 --> 04:31:03.540
Prop make it there from bin. The Baron down very, very low. Kanabi just not there in time. The pull

04:31:03.540 --> 04:31:06.500
Allback does come through to the fin may not be the target. They're looking for chains of corruption

04:31:06.540 --> 04:31:14.420
They do lay of his CC onto the Cassante, but he is an absolute brick wall and he just chopped it up

04:31:15.020 --> 04:31:19.540
Hey, Jalee still want to try and contest here though. They want to try and stop the LG for recently

04:31:19.540 --> 04:31:22.020
He gets in the bush, but now it's a 4v5. Hey, Jalee

04:31:22.500 --> 04:31:26.060
All right, I teleport though. Yep. This is down very very low

04:31:26.660 --> 04:31:32.860
Those mystic shots really starting to hurt here from by Petrushov Rage does come on through his pin makes his way back with a gigantic shield

04:31:32.860 --> 04:31:38.100
Gearsing arrows not piercing that one anytime soon as HLE will slink away

04:31:38.100 --> 04:31:42.860
That is going to be sole point available for both teams PLG in a much healthier position to go for it

04:31:42.860 --> 04:31:46.980
Yeah, HLE I think there's no way you want to throw the game at this dragon

04:31:46.980 --> 04:31:52.500
Even though you're down in gold even though they just got baron you still have to hope at a better setup

04:31:52.780 --> 04:31:55.580
Don't risk it over dragon number three

04:31:55.580 --> 04:32:00.180
I think Gumiuchi though with all these ocean dragons have had to become pretty useless

04:32:00.180 --> 04:32:06.700
Yeah poke far as that poke is not gonna stick around for very long and it feels more and more like BLG

04:32:06.700 --> 04:32:09.940
You're starting to punch their ticket to finals not to mention

04:32:09.940 --> 04:32:16.060
I mean even night feels too tanky for him to get through he's got health on the rod of ages health on the dash cannon and in his

04:32:16.060 --> 04:32:22.380
Onus, I mean, I don't think this is going to be a toss that the lethality Varus can really do by himself

04:32:22.780 --> 04:32:27.020
Even if he does you know land an arrow towards an Ezreal Ezreal other goalie those

04:32:27.020 --> 04:32:29.780
those ulti's raining on down,

04:32:29.780 --> 04:32:31.860
chains of corruption having to be used defensively here.

04:32:31.860 --> 04:32:34.940
Sean doesn't quite have the GA back available,

04:32:34.940 --> 04:32:36.540
but that will be up relatively soon

04:32:36.540 --> 04:32:38.660
as Bin was looking for an angle as well.

04:32:38.660 --> 04:32:40.380
Kanabi now finally with his GA,

04:32:40.380 --> 04:32:41.980
as there is one on Zayas as well,

04:32:41.980 --> 04:32:43.980
who does clear up this bottom out of turret

04:32:43.980 --> 04:32:46.180
to try and bring them back into touching distance

04:32:46.180 --> 04:32:47.100
with this gold,

04:32:47.100 --> 04:32:48.980
but it's the compositions that are starting

04:32:48.980 --> 04:32:51.020
to become a problem for HLE.

04:32:51.020 --> 04:32:53.980
Yeah, they're gonna have to find some crazy angle

04:32:53.980 --> 04:32:54.820
and they're going for it now,

04:32:54.820 --> 04:32:56.460
teleport with the flank from Delight.

04:32:56.460 --> 04:33:00.460
That is definitely an angle, depth charge comes in, and Zeca will find it!

04:33:00.460 --> 04:33:02.460
Takes down Viper!

04:33:03.460 --> 04:33:06.460
Okay, that is a big pick here for HLE.

04:33:06.460 --> 04:33:09.460
Still four minutes on a parent, there's four minutes on a drake.

04:33:09.460 --> 04:33:12.460
Not a whole lot to go for, but maybe they can take a turret or two.

04:33:12.460 --> 04:33:18.460
They buy their time, they give away the dragon, they split push, and they wait for an opportunity now, another.

04:33:18.460 --> 04:33:19.460
Yeah.

04:33:19.460 --> 04:33:23.460
Chocolate gonna connect on to Zess, gets the knockup on the night, pulls him back,

04:33:23.460 --> 04:33:25.660
Grim deliverance as Shun is now doing battle.

04:33:25.660 --> 04:33:28.060
Gumiishi does not want to want to be on the pantheon!

04:33:28.060 --> 04:33:29.860
And now he knows why!

04:33:29.860 --> 04:33:36.360
As Kanabi-doni get pulled away by Vin, put down to the GA, Shun gonna follow Suzeus' delwif!

04:33:36.360 --> 04:33:40.660
And Vin is now just going to destroy this guy with the help of Han,

04:33:40.660 --> 04:33:42.860
who actually takes the kill for himself.

04:33:42.860 --> 04:33:44.860
BLG, find the angle!

04:33:44.860 --> 04:33:49.560
And that is one step too far into BLG territory.

04:33:49.560 --> 04:33:53.560
They put it to HLE and they're gonna run it straight down mid.

04:33:53.560 --> 04:33:59.560
Azanya's burned, 3 GA's burned, but it's HLE who are actually burned in the end.

04:33:59.560 --> 04:34:02.560
Zekka and Elise have to hold on.

04:34:02.560 --> 04:34:05.560
Decent damage onto NICE, but can he do more?

04:34:05.560 --> 04:34:08.560
Oh, there's 25 stacks on that Magi's, man.

04:34:08.560 --> 04:34:12.560
If that orb comes in anywhere near any of these HLE members,

04:34:12.560 --> 04:34:16.560
it could just be lights out and that shockwave is just about back up again.

04:34:16.560 --> 04:34:25.560
Again, first inhibitor going to go down, but BLG, a lot of respect here as they will back away, look to spend some money and set up for the next objective.

04:34:27.560 --> 04:34:43.560
As he says, tries to go in, the damage comes out very, very quickly. The Shockwave doing good work, but they jump on towards NICE because he knows that he has that GA, but the Poploss and Vermont, absolutely huge to buy that space alongside his onions, can't be taken out by bin.

04:34:43.560 --> 04:34:51.640
And it's Pantheon happy to go into the GA just again to separate HLE and deny them any sort of follow-up on tonight

04:34:51.640 --> 04:34:53.680
Yeah, I mean Zez had his guardian angel

04:34:53.680 --> 04:34:56.760
So he really wanted to chase this play and make their comeback now

04:34:56.920 --> 04:34:59.720
But they still had Zeka so far away

04:34:59.720 --> 04:35:06.560
You can see on the mini map that Aurora walking the entire time and so they didn't have the necessary pieces to actually

04:35:06.720 --> 04:35:09.960
Finish that play and now POG on the offense

04:35:09.960 --> 04:35:13.960
Well, she's not gonna get knocked up, no GA this time around as he's caught by Saus!

04:35:13.960 --> 04:35:17.460
He gets into the backline, but he's just obliterated!

04:35:17.460 --> 04:35:21.460
My god, the damage out of my Petrucia Parage to sail on through!

04:35:21.460 --> 04:35:27.460
But Zekka did manage to get himself a kill, now looking to try and take down this Ezreal once again!

04:35:27.460 --> 04:35:32.960
As he's looking to do some funny business, does have to teleport, and not going to be able to use it!

04:35:32.960 --> 04:35:37.460
He'll be taken out, it's on the picks up back kill, and it's now only Guma left

04:35:37.460 --> 04:35:40.700
to try and pick up the pieces and I don't think it's going to be enough.

04:35:40.700 --> 04:35:48.960
It's a 1 for 4, Gumiishi has to clear the wave, but stepping up is so dangerous against BLG right now.

04:35:48.960 --> 04:35:54.260
Okay, will there be enough wave clear? That is the question. I do not think so.

04:35:54.260 --> 04:35:58.260
It's Ben also going to make sure that Gumiishi is not allowed to press any buttons.

04:35:58.260 --> 04:36:03.960
He can tank up two Nexus turrets and it looks to me like BLG has a date in the finals.

04:36:03.960 --> 04:36:10.460
HLE are going to have to go through another target if they want the rematch, and honestly with this performance,

04:36:10.460 --> 04:36:14.460
I don't know whether anyone wants to face off against BLG.

04:36:15.460 --> 04:36:20.460
And will they be able to even touch Knight if they do get a rematch?

04:36:20.960 --> 04:36:27.460
Here's Depless in this Orianna game, improves that KDA, analyst desk, what's your take away?

04:36:27.460 --> 04:36:31.460
We hated this build. We love this play.

04:36:31.460 --> 04:36:36.460
Gold spatter in Pro League of Legends. That's our take.

04:36:36.460 --> 04:36:39.460
Listen, he's the best. The best player in the world right now.

04:36:39.460 --> 04:36:42.460
He carried this game with the first pick Orianna.

04:36:42.460 --> 04:36:45.460
I'd say Viper had an amazing performance on the Ezreal.

04:36:45.460 --> 04:36:47.460
We're from the hub from Viper. Viper was insane this game.

04:36:47.460 --> 04:36:48.460
Orianna was 3-0.

04:36:48.460 --> 04:36:51.460
Their team is incredible, but throughout this series,

04:36:51.460 --> 04:36:54.460
Knight I think was the best performer on this POG team

04:36:54.460 --> 04:36:57.220
who are now in the grand finals of MSI.

04:36:57.220 --> 04:37:00.100
Our upper player of the series is Knight.

04:37:00.100 --> 04:37:04.340
I think we had it penciled down as they all ready after game one,

04:37:04.340 --> 04:37:07.100
and then it became ink early into this game.

04:37:07.100 --> 04:37:08.980
I mean, this guy is just a beast.

04:37:08.980 --> 04:37:12.700
He is just so crazy across so many different champions.

04:37:12.700 --> 04:37:14.740
He can play so many different styles,

04:37:14.740 --> 04:37:19.700
and he has been so on point 25, 3, and 29.

04:37:19.700 --> 04:37:22.460
Fantastic in the lanes, fantastic in the fights,

04:37:22.460 --> 04:37:30.660
Fantastic at basically everything night is the complete player. Yeah, it's amazing to see him have this kind of performance on

04:37:30.940 --> 04:37:36.580
The international stage because he has been pulling this kind of stuff all year

04:37:37.060 --> 04:37:44.300
Especially this past split in the LPL. What's insane is his kills per game in this series is actually slightly lower than a split average

04:37:44.300 --> 04:37:49.660
Yeah, so this is kind of just like an everyday night stat line. It feels like underperforming really

04:37:52.460 --> 04:37:58.220
I mean, it's just crazy to see him doing it against this level of competition, right?

04:37:58.220 --> 04:37:59.380
It's the LCK number one.

04:37:59.380 --> 04:38:02.180
And in a lot of these games, they made it look pretty easy.

04:38:02.180 --> 04:38:03.180
They sure did.

04:38:03.180 --> 04:38:05.380
And there was something you wanted to show us.

04:38:05.380 --> 04:38:06.380
Yes.

04:38:06.380 --> 04:38:09.940
There was a team fight that to me felt like the series clincher BLG went crazy in this.

04:38:09.940 --> 04:38:11.980
So we're just going to jump on into it.

04:38:11.980 --> 04:38:14.140
It was right around the third dragon fight.

04:38:14.140 --> 04:38:18.260
So we can bring this up and I can walk you through because this is pretty incredible.

04:38:18.260 --> 04:38:23.700
So, HLE do have mid-prior here, you can see that Viper is answering, and on the mini-map

04:38:23.700 --> 04:38:27.940
you're going to see, Zayas is in this flank position, BLG are going to be able to take

04:38:27.940 --> 04:38:30.020
this dragon and we're going to move on into the clip.

04:38:30.020 --> 04:38:34.340
So, as we see them moving forward, it looks like HLE has the superior position.

04:38:34.340 --> 04:38:38.140
Viper is stuck over here, split away from the team, Zayas again on that flank, and Delight

04:38:38.140 --> 04:38:42.180
is going to be threatening this engage, but what BLG is really going to do here is so smart,

04:38:42.180 --> 04:38:46.500
immediately, Shun turns on to Delight to get this chunk at the start of the fight.

04:38:46.500 --> 04:38:50.520
how much damage they get down onto him. They force out the flash as well as the ult. And

04:38:50.520 --> 04:38:55.980
Viper, most AD carries would have moved into this position. He stays on the side and decides

04:38:55.980 --> 04:39:02.620
to continue playing the fight from this angle. So BLG kiting back. Shun gets into a little

04:39:02.620 --> 04:39:06.980
trouble. Zayus is moving forward and is really strong at this part of the game. Zayus gets

04:39:06.980 --> 04:39:11.220
his fully stacked passive. He's going to go aggressive. Shun has to flash out. But right

04:39:11.220 --> 04:39:16.420
as Shun flashes out, you can see Bin moves in to control this space. Again, Viper still

04:39:16.420 --> 04:39:20.100
still threatening on the side here, making it difficult for them.

04:39:20.100 --> 04:39:26.420
Then, Zaeus ults in, the immediate turn from Ben onto him, ulting back, and then the turn

04:39:26.420 --> 04:39:32.900
right here from on goes in, and on the side, Viper gets a 3-man ult across, everyone wipes

04:39:32.900 --> 04:39:35.740
them from the map, wins the fight, wins the game.

04:39:35.740 --> 04:39:38.460
And speaking of, let's go to the stage to hear from the victorious...

04:39:38.460 --> 04:39:39.460
Ah, not yet!

04:39:39.460 --> 04:39:40.460
What?

04:39:40.460 --> 04:39:41.460
My bad.

04:39:41.460 --> 04:39:42.460
Oh no!

04:39:42.460 --> 04:39:44.460
for the Verizon post-game interview with Viper.

04:39:49.460 --> 04:39:51.460
You're trolling me.

04:39:51.460 --> 04:39:52.460
We have more time.

04:39:52.460 --> 04:39:55.460
We have more time to go deeper.

04:39:55.460 --> 04:39:59.460
I mean, I just think it was unreal teamfighting, because Viper,

04:39:59.460 --> 04:40:01.460
like, he played that in such a different way.

04:40:01.460 --> 04:40:03.460
And the way that they actually keep their battle lines

04:40:03.460 --> 04:40:06.460
shown moving forward as soon as his E is down, he's flashing back.

04:40:06.460 --> 04:40:10.460
Then we see Bin moving forward and taking that damage, soaking as much as he can,

04:40:10.460 --> 04:40:12.460
to be able to find this

04:40:12.460 --> 04:40:14.460
opportunity and on had so much

04:40:14.460 --> 04:40:16.460
patience with the flash pop blossom.

04:40:16.460 --> 04:40:18.460
It's just unreal seeing this level

04:40:18.460 --> 04:40:20.460
of team fighting and the confidence

04:40:20.460 --> 04:40:22.460
in which in which they just

04:40:22.460 --> 04:40:24.460
said that you're not a real team. Don't worry.

04:40:24.460 --> 04:40:26.460
I'm also just so happy to see this

04:40:26.460 --> 04:40:28.460
version of BLD show up because

04:40:28.460 --> 04:40:30.460
like I said at the beginning of the day

04:40:30.460 --> 04:40:32.460
the reason why I predicted HLE is

04:40:32.460 --> 04:40:34.460
because I felt like we hadn't seen

04:40:34.460 --> 04:40:36.460
peak BLG that we saw

04:40:36.460 --> 04:40:38.460
in the LPL show up

04:40:38.460 --> 04:40:40.700
up on the international stage.

04:40:40.700 --> 04:40:44.020
And not only did Knight have an insane performance, right?

04:40:44.020 --> 04:40:46.100
But then, again, the jungles support you.

04:40:46.100 --> 04:40:48.460
I'm going to say it until I die.

04:40:48.460 --> 04:40:51.460
Supporting the rest of the team, setting up.

04:40:51.460 --> 04:40:52.180
I don't plan on it.

04:40:52.180 --> 04:40:52.780
I love you.

04:40:52.780 --> 04:40:54.540
Setting up the map.

04:40:54.540 --> 04:40:55.540
Shut it on.

04:40:55.540 --> 04:40:56.740
Shut it on, guys.

04:40:56.740 --> 04:40:57.260
My last words.

04:40:57.260 --> 04:41:00.420
Shut it on.

04:41:00.420 --> 04:41:04.780
But yeah, I mean, this series from BLG

04:41:04.780 --> 04:41:07.660
was so much more of what we were used to seeing from them

04:41:07.660 --> 04:41:10.560
in the LPL, just not in just the team fights

04:41:10.560 --> 04:41:12.300
and how quickly they can engage,

04:41:12.300 --> 04:41:15.020
but in how they set up the map from their carries

04:41:15.020 --> 04:41:17.500
from minute one, especially in games one and two.

04:41:17.500 --> 04:41:20.660
Yeah, and luckily this was the closest game of the series.

04:41:20.660 --> 04:41:22.580
Games one and two, we can't forget,

04:41:22.580 --> 04:41:25.220
were so incredibly stompy.

04:41:25.220 --> 04:41:27.980
So it's a three-one series, very,

04:41:27.980 --> 04:41:29.580
like we were looking if it was gonna be the fastest series

04:41:29.580 --> 04:41:30.420
ever, but now we're gonna see the final.

04:41:30.420 --> 04:41:31.260
But we're gonna head over to the stage

04:41:31.260 --> 04:41:32.340
to hear from the victorious Vipers.

04:41:32.340 --> 04:41:33.180
For real?

04:41:33.180 --> 04:41:34.340
And the guys that posted it for you.

04:41:34.340 --> 04:41:44.340
The first team to advance to the finals.

04:41:44.340 --> 04:41:49.340
We are joined by B.O.D's Viper.

04:41:49.340 --> 04:41:52.340
Congratulations on the win.

04:41:52.340 --> 04:41:54.340
Thank you very much.

04:41:54.340 --> 04:42:00.340
Truly showing why you were ranked number one in the power ranking.

04:42:00.340 --> 04:42:07.340
You took a dominant win over one of the LCK's strongest teams, HANA Life Esports, and become

04:42:07.340 --> 04:42:10.340
the first team to lock in a spot in the finals.

04:42:10.340 --> 04:42:12.340
How do you feel?

04:42:12.340 --> 04:42:20.340
Before the start of the series, I came here to win, but once I got on the rift, playing

04:42:20.340 --> 04:42:25.340
up against my former teammates, it felt really different.

04:42:25.340 --> 04:42:32.940
So I hope they can step it up, take their themselves up together and have a rematch up against me.

04:42:35.240 --> 04:42:37.740
Were you expecting a 3-1 victory today?

04:42:37.740 --> 04:42:43.740
No, I came here to play five games, but everything went smoother than I expected.

04:42:47.140 --> 04:42:53.940
Just like you mentioned, today's match was you vs your former team, kind of like this sports.

04:42:53.940 --> 04:42:57.940
What is your focus on preparing up against a team that you know so well?

04:43:01.940 --> 04:43:07.940
In fact, I thought I was fully prepped for the mage-bot matchups on the bottom lane.

04:43:07.940 --> 04:43:17.940
So, I focused on kind of shutting down the in its jungler and how they kind of impact around the map.

04:43:17.940 --> 04:43:25.940
Back in 2019 LCK final, you had some hard time in Taliyah, but you finally got your redemption.

04:43:25.940 --> 04:43:27.940
How does that feel?

04:43:27.940 --> 04:43:30.940
I didn't play a lot of different champions and Taliyah was one of them.

04:43:30.940 --> 04:43:36.940
Although I lost the finals on Taliyah back then, but Taliyah was still one of my strong picks

04:43:36.940 --> 04:43:40.940
and I was pretty confident and it feels amazing that I come to get a win today.

04:43:40.940 --> 04:43:47.940
As expected your mage bot picks are incredible. Today you played Cassiopeia and Taliyah.

04:43:47.940 --> 04:43:53.940
How do you feel about the current bot lane meta? It seems like it would be a good fit for you.

04:43:53.940 --> 04:44:00.940
I was not expecting a meta like this, but I'm kind of happy with this.

04:44:00.940 --> 04:44:07.940
And I was surprised to find out that the enemies were down to go for this mage matchup on the bottom lane.

04:44:10.940 --> 04:44:15.940
From the outside, the team's synergy with Denny looks very strong.

04:44:17.940 --> 04:44:25.940
Yeah, in fact, Denny is the head coach that can kind of give us a lot of tips for gameplays,

04:44:25.940 --> 04:44:33.140
place and also about what kind of mindset we have to bring and that kind of helped us out a lot

04:44:33.140 --> 04:44:41.860
when it comes to developing ourselves. Now that you have gone straight to the finals,

04:44:41.860 --> 04:44:47.940
it is time to pour out everything you have prepared. What is your mindset for the upcoming

04:44:47.940 --> 04:44:56.140
finals for the first MSI title for BLG. They will be watching and waiting to find out to

04:44:56.140 --> 04:45:04.420
who our opponent for the final is. And we played them at least once this tournament and I wish

04:45:04.420 --> 04:45:11.140
it's gonna be Hanna's life that will be playing us in the finals. And that was Fyfer from BLG.

04:45:11.140 --> 04:45:14.980
And please give it up one more time. Thank you very much.

04:45:17.940 --> 04:45:21.900
I think it's just so nice to see Viper having such a strong series because throughout this year

04:45:21.900 --> 04:45:24.620
He has been the piece of BLG that was receiving a lot of criticism

04:45:24.820 --> 04:45:28.460
You know before first day and people were were really hard on his play

04:45:28.460 --> 04:45:32.580
I think he didn't play as well before that you know in that first split this split

04:45:32.580 --> 04:45:36.700
I felt like it was kind of over exaggerated. I know we have talked a bit about that. I feel like people were being

04:45:37.380 --> 04:45:40.580
Kind of like overly hard on him because I felt like he was playing okay

04:45:40.580 --> 04:45:45.860
But today I thought we got to actually see Viper at a Viper level even in the game

04:45:45.860 --> 04:45:50.920
They lost he had a significant advantage over Guma and the Zaya game this Ezreal game is some of the best teamfighting

04:45:50.920 --> 04:45:52.020
You will ever see on Ezreal

04:45:52.020 --> 04:45:55.460
He dominated on the mages and at this tournament thus far

04:45:55.460 --> 04:45:57.920
He is looking like the most complete ad carry

04:45:58.020 --> 04:46:03.260
Yeah, the fact that so many of these mages bot are coming back into fashion

04:46:03.340 --> 04:46:05.260
He was one of the huge

04:46:05.260 --> 04:46:09.620
Adopt like early adopters of this had no problem playing

04:46:09.620 --> 04:46:15.460
I mean people knew him initially as the Timo guy right that one guy who played bot lane Timo on Griffin

04:46:15.460 --> 04:46:20.200
So I think this is such the way that things have evolved throughout this tournament as well

04:46:20.200 --> 04:46:26.640
It's such a great meta shift for Viper specifically. Yeah, it almost seems like the roads are converging

04:46:26.640 --> 04:46:30.740
Yeah, we're happy to have the best performance in the final. It's true, but he's not gonna get his wish

04:46:31.020 --> 04:46:36.060
No, yeah, he said he wants to play HLE again in the final and lion's taking it. It's not gonna happen. We can check out the

04:46:38.220 --> 04:46:40.220
Versus NA coming up tomorrow

04:46:40.940 --> 04:46:44.820
That is who's going to be playing against HLE in the lower final

04:46:44.820 --> 04:46:52.800
You're scared of why no, I'm scared of the G2 special beat line beat HLE give the LPL another international

04:47:02.220 --> 04:47:04.680
Golden road is just a series of beating

04:47:10.120 --> 04:47:12.560
Though it would be really cool because that is the

04:47:12.560 --> 04:47:17.560
first-hand rematch right? First-hand finals rematch? Like that is a really neat narrative.

04:47:17.560 --> 04:47:23.560
And I mean if G2 got there it means that they beat HLE who completely obliterated them.

04:47:23.560 --> 04:47:28.560
That was the most one-sided series we've had between top teams by far.

04:47:28.560 --> 04:47:30.560
It's true. I mean I'm still lying G2 right now.

04:47:30.560 --> 04:47:31.560
There you go. Yeah.

04:47:31.560 --> 04:47:33.560
Because Lyon of course is going to keep going.

04:47:33.560 --> 04:47:36.560
I'm going to get started on this early.

04:47:36.560 --> 04:47:38.560
I'm going to break that far!

04:47:38.560 --> 04:47:41.560
No, she's not going to pick. Oh she is, isn't she?

04:47:41.560 --> 04:47:43.560
I'm gonna hide from all of you.

04:47:43.560 --> 04:47:44.560
Oh my god.

04:47:44.560 --> 04:47:45.560
You'll see tomorrow.

04:47:45.560 --> 04:47:46.560
You'll see tomorrow.

04:47:46.560 --> 04:47:47.560
That's first of them.

04:47:47.560 --> 04:47:48.560
Oh my god.

04:47:48.560 --> 04:47:50.560
Um, yeah, that is tomorrow.

04:47:50.560 --> 04:47:54.560
We actually can see we're already super, super excited to finally get that clash.

04:47:54.560 --> 04:47:59.560
I think actually in terms of like high importance clashes of Eversatnay,

04:47:59.560 --> 04:48:03.560
this rifle's like the NRG G2 one, which Doklo was on.

04:48:03.560 --> 04:48:04.560
So.

04:48:04.560 --> 04:48:06.560
Where they Dokbus from G2, by the way.

04:48:06.560 --> 04:48:07.560
Yes, I'm thinking about it.

04:48:07.560 --> 04:48:08.560
No, no, I think it's more.

04:48:08.560 --> 04:48:09.560
I mean, the last two.

04:48:09.560 --> 04:48:10.560
I'm thinking about it too.

04:48:10.560 --> 04:48:15.360
The last two world Swiss stages weren't even elimination series. They were advancement series

04:48:16.680 --> 04:48:21.380
Fly question then lost later the CFO and you two lost later the BOG the last time we've had a series like this was actually

04:48:21.840 --> 04:48:26.840
2019 MSI finals last time there was an elimination best of five between

04:48:28.000 --> 04:48:31.400
Time ever that's happened. I would also say you know cloud nine fanatic

04:48:31.400 --> 04:48:34.360
You remind me of that series as well in the world semi-finals, right?

04:48:34.360 --> 04:48:36.920
And those ones went very bad for us, you know

04:48:36.920 --> 04:48:42.880
It is you does have a habit of coming in when we have this big moment and then kind of one-offing us

04:48:42.880 --> 04:48:46.380
Like the bigger moment this time with G2 winning people are giving credit to the

04:48:47.040 --> 04:48:50.360
The team secret one so we can you serve them?

04:48:50.360 --> 04:48:55.080
Hey, I'm not on the best tomorrow, but do you remember what happened when we were on the best together for the

04:48:57.400 --> 04:48:59.400
I was there

04:49:06.920 --> 04:49:08.920
I don't know what you're talking about.

04:49:08.920 --> 04:49:11.920
I was a journalist, don't ask me. I wasn't even on the broadcast.

04:49:11.920 --> 04:49:13.920
I love this so much, I cannot wait for tomorrow.

04:49:13.920 --> 04:49:17.920
I remember your sassy look in the picture, you were like posed with your 3-0 presentation.

04:49:17.920 --> 04:49:19.920
Yeah, you know you do remember.

04:49:19.920 --> 04:49:20.920
You do remember.

04:49:20.920 --> 04:49:23.920
Of course, Sharks! You bully, I remember, okay?

04:49:23.920 --> 04:49:27.920
We lost 3-0! We got slammed!

04:49:27.920 --> 04:49:31.920
In fact, the record still stands for the fastest, best of five.

04:49:31.920 --> 04:49:35.920
But you know where I remember fondly? It's the last couple of years of MSI.

04:49:35.920 --> 04:49:43.920
I remember KC getting 3-0ed. I remember G2 getting 3-0ed by FlyQuest last year. I remember Fnatic losing 3-1 to TL.

04:49:43.920 --> 04:49:47.920
I remember those two. Those are good memories. And much more recent.

04:49:47.920 --> 04:49:58.920
And I'm not going to lie. I have been staying awake last night thinking of the possibility of beating TES, beating T1, just to lose to Lyon.

04:49:58.920 --> 04:50:02.600
I have but hey, we can talk about this forever as you can see we're very very

04:50:03.120 --> 04:50:05.060
Excited by the possibility of tomorrow

04:50:05.060 --> 04:50:11.480
But we will be back tomorrow if you're able to sleep at 10 a.m. CES T great time for Europeans 1 a.m.

04:50:12.000 --> 04:50:17.680
PST for G2 versus line. So if you're in America, you got to take a nap now. You got an all-nighter ahead of you

04:50:17.680 --> 04:50:19.880
Thank you so much for watching sleep. See you tomorrow

04:50:22.440 --> 04:50:27.200
So much history between the teams the players the regions

04:50:27.200 --> 04:50:30.200
everything coming to a culmination now.

04:50:30.200 --> 04:50:32.200
Okay, well, BLG are looking for an angle,

04:50:32.200 --> 04:50:35.200
and B and B will find what gets into the backlight,

04:50:35.200 --> 04:50:38.200
eliminates Kuma Yushi there.

04:50:38.200 --> 04:50:41.200
Zekka died at some point in that play, but I didn't quite see it.

04:50:41.200 --> 04:50:43.200
And there is going to be the Cyclone on tonight.

04:50:43.200 --> 04:50:45.200
He's going for it. If at first you don't succeed,

04:50:45.200 --> 04:50:47.200
you're not going to succeed in this series.

04:50:47.200 --> 04:50:52.200
As BLG will wipe them from the rift, and it feels like mercy.

04:50:52.200 --> 04:50:54.200
Honestly, with this performance,

04:50:54.200 --> 04:50:58.460
I don't know whether anyone wants to face off against BLG
