I think you got it in you. 45:41.540 --> 45:44.540 You guys have a lot of practice lately. You're more accustomed to it. 45:44.540 --> 45:46.540 I suppose you've been running it more than you've been swimming it. 45:46.540 --> 45:48.540 That would be exciting. 45:48.540 --> 45:51.540 Okay, buddy, let's just tip it for now, okay? 45:51.540 --> 45:56.540 Tip it for now, but no, I want to refresh our memory on how our teams made it here. 45:56.540 --> 45:59.540 Lion on one side, G2 on the other. 45:59.540 --> 46:03.780 Just to check the reactions we got from the streamers and how people sit and rated that 46:03.780 --> 46:05.780 amazing win. 46:05.780 --> 46:06.780 That was great. 46:06.780 --> 46:10.420 I am shocked that I did not get to know his complaints in the hotel because I was hooking 46:10.420 --> 46:16.220 my pillow, slamming it against the band, just delighted with BV that he managed to pip 46:16.220 --> 46:18.900 it right at the end. 46:18.900 --> 46:22.860 That was an insane series and broken blade in this final game. 46:22.860 --> 46:27.060 I feel like that's one of the best individual performances from a Wester top leader ever 46:27.060 --> 46:28.060 point blank period. 46:28.060 --> 46:31.740 That is a game that people will be remembering for a long, long time. 46:31.740 --> 46:33.740 Yeah, amazing day. 46:33.740 --> 46:35.740 It felt, you know what? 46:35.740 --> 46:40.380 I'm happy that we got to the 51 before this and now that it's getting to ANA versus EAR 46:40.380 --> 46:45.380 because you know that you're going to be here for a banger and it's been a rivalry that we 46:45.380 --> 46:46.380 had for years. 46:46.380 --> 46:47.380 Now, let's make it fun. 46:47.380 --> 46:49.180 Let's start making it funny, actually. 46:49.180 --> 46:52.700 That's what I want to see because we had a lot of funny moments between these two regions 46:52.700 --> 46:53.700 for years. 46:53.700 --> 46:57.580 I feel like it originated in 2013, but we're going to bring you back in the present a 46:57.580 --> 47:01.180 bit more here with 2018 Worlds. 47:01.180 --> 47:02.860 This is history. No! 47:02.860 --> 47:04.220 No one cares about this. 47:04.220 --> 47:06.580 I do. I went to this event. 47:06.580 --> 47:09.220 I sat as a Korean watching this. 47:09.220 --> 47:09.580 Yeah. 47:09.580 --> 47:12.100 With them absolutely performing out of their minds. 47:12.100 --> 47:14.380 Fanatic, mind you, take down C9. 47:14.380 --> 47:16.220 Get all the way to the finals. 47:16.220 --> 47:18.380 It was such a good role by us. 47:18.380 --> 47:19.420 Yes, it was. 47:19.420 --> 47:21.740 15 years ago at this point. 47:21.740 --> 47:24.020 That's when you get to start stealing players from us 47:24.020 --> 47:26.220 and thinking you would get away with it. 47:26.220 --> 47:28.220 And then 2019 hits. 47:28.220 --> 47:30.220 Who's feeling the moon now? 47:30.220 --> 47:32.220 Time to change, or? 47:32.220 --> 47:38.220 I feel like this one was peak though, because Liquid thought they were doing well, and then they realized what peak European legends was about. 47:38.220 --> 47:42.220 Yeah, this is where it really solidifies. Korean killers, cops, clops. 47:42.220 --> 47:47.220 It was nearly the golden road for the squad one series away. 47:47.220 --> 47:51.220 It felt like this was the moment where the hope for Europe really solidified for us. 47:51.220 --> 47:54.220 But what about this? Welcome to the modern era, buddy. 47:54.220 --> 48:00.740 NRG beating G2 this team was running it down in scrims. I had no faith in them whatsoever 48:00.740 --> 48:07.240 And then they just removed G2 easy to oh there and then oh last year just last year 48:07.240 --> 48:09.660 What tournament was that? It was a recent MSI 48:10.620 --> 48:13.880 G2 we had to swap it up a little bit. How many games did they get? 48:14.740 --> 48:16.740 Doesn't matter 48:18.700 --> 48:23.700 I think it was zero games money memories a bit hazy from this one. He doesn't matter. We got you when it mattered 48:23.700 --> 48:27.100 Okay, so my finals and MSI finals and that's what matters here today 48:27.100 --> 48:34.940 We're aiming for top three and if you look at the all-time score line between NA and you actually does in our 48:41.500 --> 48:48.260 Pretty far back to find some relevant wins for you. It's interesting, you know back in the stone ages 48:48.260 --> 48:52.420 They were painting on the walls of caves and fanatic had caps 48:53.700 --> 48:59.540 Yeah, like it's weird because in my mind because I'm old I've been watching League of Legends for so long 48:59.540 --> 49:05.260 I just automatically think it's you favor. Yeah, it's usually because we get further in the tournament 49:05.260 --> 49:10.260 It really hasn't been and this I expected this used to be so so one-sided 49:10.660 --> 49:12.660 But that's interesting 49:13.380 --> 49:17.900 Bigger number better team, you know, so it's still there. I still see you bigger number, you know 49:18.620 --> 49:23.140 Numbers it's more about the quality like nine and one at MSI over the last couple years 49:23.140 --> 49:25.300 Yeah, that's just that is good. I like 66 49:28.900 --> 49:31.700 This time around it's feel like I like a different history though 49:31.700 --> 49:36.960 But I do feel like over the years when you get had a chance to do something in the end 49:37.040 --> 49:43.020 You were like stumbling on the finish. What is that about? Well, I mean it depends on your point of view 49:43.020 --> 49:46.420 It matters because you know beating you that's easy 49:46.420 --> 49:51.220 We don't really consider that to be a big accomplishment. And so some of these other times 49:51.220 --> 49:57.600 Yeah, when we take down the world champs IG when we take down the Titans of Frica 49:57.600 --> 50:01.480 We did immediately get stopped by EU and our accomplishments were wiped off the board 50:01.480 --> 50:08.440 The IG one really really annoys me because that IG team was just coming off a world championship 50:08.440 --> 50:15.720 They were poised to take the tournament. They just stopped the group stage. Yeah, they just flattened T1 in their match again in them and 50:16.440 --> 50:18.360 and then 50:18.360 --> 50:23.340 Yeah, yeah, I don't remember I remember thinking about the later games where we made the finals 50:27.240 --> 50:31.240 They team beat the world champions, and they thought that was the end of the tournament they thought 50:33.920 --> 50:35.920 No today 50:42.360 --> 50:45.800 One thing that I will give you though because we have to give you freebies 50:45.800 --> 50:49.200 that's all you're gonna get today is the fact that over the years I feel like yeah 50:49.200 --> 50:54.680 freebies. I feel like G2 were the ones bringing it to the finish line when you 50:54.680 --> 50:58.520 guys had more diversity when it comes to teams that stepped up in the right 50:58.520 --> 51:04.200 occasion you had the NRG you had C9 you had team Liquid so proud of your region 51:04.200 --> 51:08.040 in that sense. Yeah I forget about PlayQuest but of course. Yeah it's been 51:08.040 --> 51:11.120 fun to see I mean and inspired has been a big part of that right you know changing 51:11.120 --> 51:13.920 through different rosters and he's joining a bunch of rosters and not 51:13.920 --> 51:17.280 always joining teams that are already winning championships. He is making them into championship 51:17.280 --> 51:21.840 contenders. He did it with EG. He did it with FlyQuest. He did it with Lyon. All orgs that 51:21.840 --> 51:26.400 did not have an LCS title, brought an LCS title after Inspired joined. You know, he has been 51:26.400 --> 51:30.480 someone who has really been leveling up his teams and I think as a result leveling up the region too. 51:30.480 --> 51:35.600 Talking about Inspired and Lyon and what we have today, how do we feel like Lyon evolved 51:35.600 --> 51:41.120 throughout the tournament so far? I mean, I'm gonna, I just want to take, it's not about how 51:41.120 --> 51:46.160 they evolved, but it's about how they continue to play their style against Team Secret Welles. 51:46.160 --> 51:51.840 So I want to take a look at some of their Herald and just overall how they seed objectives 51:51.840 --> 51:56.560 on purpose, right? So if you look at where we're at, Lion do have a slight gold lead, 51:56.560 --> 52:03.600 but both early Drake's are to TSW and they are immediately on this Herald at spawn. However, 52:03.600 --> 52:07.920 Lion are just like, we're not going to contest this at all. We're just going to push in mid. 52:07.920 --> 52:16.520 Dokla has already been pushing in bot, and this is something that we see Lyon do so frequently back home in the LCS, 52:16.520 --> 52:24.920 is they know when it's much better to take objectives on the map as opposed to contesting either a Herald or a Drake. 52:24.920 --> 52:31.720 So once we get to the point where TSW are using the Herald, Lyon has actually already increased their plate goal lead, 52:31.720 --> 52:36.720 and this is only going to get one play-it off this mid turn. 52:36.720 --> 52:46.420 So, what ends up happening is TSW get one plate to Lyon's two plates and a top tier two in this entire run of play. 52:46.420 --> 52:51.920 So, Lyon ends up coming ridiculously ahead despite the fact that they didn't even contest the objective at all. 52:51.920 --> 53:00.220 Now here, we're going to have a soft contest where Lyon are going to kind of act like they're going to contest TSW at this Herald. 53:00.220 --> 53:03.220 We get the TP coming in from D.R.A. 53:03.220 --> 53:11.500 And then additionally again look at the map Berserker Berserker has key it Berserker is keeping it in here 53:11.500 --> 53:17.540 Which means he's gonna be able to easily rotate and take this tier one when they're only doing a soft contest 53:17.780 --> 53:22.780 And again my boy Doka is already pushing in the bot lane 53:22.900 --> 53:26.900 So as we play this through again, it is kind of a soft contest here 53:26.900 --> 53:30.980 They get the TP Doka is still pushing on this bot side 53:30.980 --> 53:37.980 and at the end of this run of play again, TSW are not going to get much off of this 53:37.980 --> 53:43.980 because they, even though they stun up Berserker here with the Bardalt, the Rift Herald is going to get two plays here 53:43.980 --> 53:50.980 so a little bit better, but the entire end of this run of play, it's two plays to TSW for two tier ones 53:50.980 --> 53:56.980 and plays off tier two bot for Lyon, they end up with a 4k gold lead after this 53:56.980 --> 54:03.440 And something we see this is like classic lion on the international stage absolutely and and regionally as well 54:03.440 --> 54:08.280 It has been one of their big strengths being able to play the map knowing when they are strong when they are not and 54:08.860 --> 54:12.640 Avoiding taking fights that they're no are going to be losing fights playing the map and playing for that goal 54:12.640 --> 54:15.360 So they can be strong later and it's something that 54:15.600 --> 54:17.180 That docla was telling me as well 54:17.180 --> 54:23.220 Especially after that BOG series the fact that they need to preplan a bit more and be more conscious of where and how they want to 54:23.220 --> 54:28.660 on the map. On the side of G2 though, I feel like what we were looking at came down to preparation, 54:28.660 --> 54:33.780 how they managed to bounce back after this horrendous HLE series and what they showcased 54:33.780 --> 54:38.820 against T1. Yeah, I honor my boy, BB, take notes here folks, all right? What we're seeing is that 54:38.820 --> 54:45.300 coming into the series against T1, game four, down to the wire, 2K gold behind, dragon soul on the 54:45.300 --> 54:49.780 cards, it was the objective setup from G2 that made the difference. So, coming into this, I want 54:49.780 --> 54:51.100 I want to highlight two things. 54:51.100 --> 54:53.820 What we've got is BB who's been spot on the ward just here. 54:53.820 --> 54:55.860 And then just the moment you're going to see that Doran 54:55.860 --> 54:58.580 ends up running up into position to try and get a flank 54:58.580 --> 55:00.500 on towards G2 as well. 55:00.500 --> 55:03.060 But the way G2 played this out is spectacular. 55:03.060 --> 55:05.020 Because what's happening as we start to go through this 55:05.020 --> 55:07.940 is Doran steps up and is essentially trying to use 55:07.940 --> 55:10.140 this trap line to keep him safe, 55:10.140 --> 55:12.780 where he's safe so he can always look for a flank. 55:12.780 --> 55:15.280 G2 decided, okay, if that's going to be the case, 55:15.280 --> 55:17.580 we're going to shift up into this position. 55:17.580 --> 55:24.140 Q-mon is going to hold the fort here to make sure that both owner and Doran are kept out of the fight and there's also the 55:24.260 --> 55:30.260 constant threat here of BB because T1 no the main person in this fight is going to be paged 55:30.260 --> 55:34.140 Yep, if Paze stays alive they can win if Paze goes down 55:34.260 --> 55:37.940 They're in a whole heap of trouble and BB is constantly threatening this flank 55:37.980 --> 55:42.780 But it's the patience that pays off dividends because as they turn on towards faker 55:42.900 --> 55:46.460 What we see is that T1 go right. We need to deal with BB 55:46.460 --> 55:51.540 BB, BB, get the hell out of the touch, you have nothing to do with this, he hides and 55:51.540 --> 55:55.420 seeks so well, whereas it's Doran who ends up getting caught. 55:55.420 --> 56:01.220 The reason is, these two traps, Pays reposition that trap line which got rid of the gateway 56:01.220 --> 56:06.380 and immediately G2 go hang on a second, this Olaf is no longer safe, they turn tail onto 56:06.380 --> 56:11.260 Doran, he's forced to run and it's from this position now where Cap stays here to make 56:11.260 --> 56:15.900 sure that he can continue to mark Doran and it's the rest of this play where BB hides 56:15.900 --> 56:19.820 This bait from Skumon, sidestepping Faker's engage, 56:19.820 --> 56:22.380 enables G2 to turn on towards Faker. 56:22.380 --> 56:24.780 They finish him off and then, 56:24.780 --> 56:26.300 I don't know if this is a reposition 56:26.300 --> 56:28.060 or if it's maybe a misclick from BB, 56:28.060 --> 56:31.740 but either way, BB kind of has to get into position for this fight 56:31.740 --> 56:34.860 and it's here where we get the plate from Skumon. 56:34.860 --> 56:37.260 Pays, connected with wind becomes lightning 56:37.260 --> 56:38.780 and Skumon full sends. 56:38.780 --> 56:40.780 He knows he doesn't have to kill Pays, 56:40.780 --> 56:42.460 he just needs to get that flash 56:42.460 --> 56:44.140 because when Skumon goes down, 56:44.140 --> 56:52.460 We get caps repositioning up into this area because he can then threaten on towards carrying pays and I keep your eyes on broken blade 56:52.460 --> 56:57.220 He dives in on to pay the flash the e the bear trap on the rope 56:57.220 --> 57:01.780 It's man down for t1 and g2 know from this position 57:01.780 --> 57:06.940 They stop the soul they turn the game and it's that fight right there that wins it for g2 57:06.940 --> 57:08.980 I think it was one of the best Western performances 57:08.980 --> 57:11.580 We've had from any top laner ever from Broken Blade. 57:11.580 --> 57:13.460 This guy was an absolute monster. 57:13.460 --> 57:15.780 And G2, you have to give them their flowers. 57:15.780 --> 57:17.740 I think a lot of teams throughout this event 57:17.740 --> 57:19.620 have felt like they're in there with a chance 57:19.620 --> 57:21.140 at the team fight, but they can't execute 57:21.140 --> 57:22.220 against the best teams in the world 57:22.220 --> 57:23.860 when it actually comes to the 5v5. 57:23.860 --> 57:26.740 G2 was able to do it three times against T1 57:26.740 --> 57:27.860 and get it across the finish line. 57:27.860 --> 57:29.660 And what's amazing is when you think of G2 57:29.660 --> 57:30.900 and when you think of their peak 57:30.900 --> 57:32.260 at international tournaments, 57:32.260 --> 57:34.340 it was that element of surprise. 57:34.340 --> 57:36.260 The fact that they were bringing stuff onto the table 57:36.260 --> 57:37.980 that no other team could plan. 57:37.980 --> 57:40.220 They went back to this with the counter picks that they had, 57:40.220 --> 57:42.940 but also the discipline that they had on the Rift for me 57:42.940 --> 57:45.260 is what created the surprise against T1. 57:45.260 --> 57:47.300 And you know what else was surprised here? 57:47.300 --> 57:48.260 Inspired. 57:48.260 --> 57:52.100 Never would he ever have hoped that G2 would make it here. 57:52.100 --> 57:54.460 So it turns out maybe he thinks 57:54.460 --> 57:56.580 he's getting an easier opponent here today. 57:56.580 --> 57:58.220 That's the worst prediction I've seen. 57:58.220 --> 58:00.020 I mean, definitely he was surprised. 58:00.020 --> 58:00.860 So was Zeca. 58:00.860 --> 58:03.460 We had multiple interviews from pro players saying, 58:03.460 --> 58:05.820 yeah, we're expecting it to be T1 coming through 58:05.820 --> 58:09.700 because it had been seven years since G2 took down T1 58:09.700 --> 58:10.940 in a best of five. 58:10.940 --> 58:12.700 So I think it is a reasonable expectation, 58:12.700 --> 58:14.260 but that is the beauty of G2, 58:14.260 --> 58:16.180 is that they have been able to step up historically 58:16.180 --> 58:17.340 in these big moments. 58:17.340 --> 58:20.140 And this year, three best of five wins against CLCK 58:20.140 --> 58:20.980 is incredible. 58:20.980 --> 58:21.820 Yeah. 58:21.820 --> 58:24.220 And here he is on today's match facing G2. 58:24.220 --> 58:25.540 It'll be a really fun game. 58:25.540 --> 58:27.780 Just an ego battle for both teams. 58:27.780 --> 58:30.500 I want to like, I wish I could underline that 58:30.500 --> 58:33.020 with the yellow marker we have, 58:33.020 --> 58:36.740 because I ran up when we had caps on the desk. 58:36.740 --> 58:38.020 I wanted to ask him, okay, 58:38.020 --> 58:40.140 how did those G2 Lions scrims go? 58:40.140 --> 58:42.300 And he's like, oh man, there are a lot of remakes. 58:42.300 --> 58:43.900 They're kind of crazy. 58:43.900 --> 58:46.940 So I feel like it is absolutely an ego battle. 58:46.940 --> 58:49.700 And we could see a world where both of these teams 58:49.700 --> 58:53.060 are just constantly just bashing their heads 58:53.060 --> 58:53.900 against each other. 58:53.900 --> 58:55.380 It's just entertaining to me. 58:55.380 --> 58:56.220 I love that. 58:56.220 --> 58:58.700 That's the thing, preparation is one thing. 58:58.700 --> 59:00.140 For me, when I think about these two teams 59:00.140 --> 59:05.980 How much ego is gonna come in the way and how is that gonna manifest onto the rift it's gonna be fun 59:05.980 --> 59:07.980 Everybody has a plan to get punched in the face 59:08.740 --> 59:11.340 I mean, I'm excited to see that matchup between his heart is given 59:11.340 --> 59:12.980 I think that's gonna be such a focus 59:12.980 --> 59:17.820 But you've got matchups across the board that look up to you say that seems like everyone like top to bottom 59:17.820 --> 59:20.700 What's the trying to ego here? We heard it from inspired 59:20.700 --> 59:26.820 I want to check it with the class thought about the matchup against you to he's giving us daily vlogs here in Korea 59:26.820 --> 59:28.820 So let's check it out. That's my go 59:28.820 --> 59:32.820 Hello, I'm Yogi Koku. 59:32.820 --> 59:35.820 Today is the day, ladies and gentlemen. 59:35.820 --> 59:38.820 Your full-time vlogger has a big matchday. 59:38.820 --> 59:42.820 NA versus EU, top three at MSI. 59:42.820 --> 59:45.820 The right to get the Honolulu F2 sports. 59:45.820 --> 59:48.820 More prize pool on the line here. 59:48.820 --> 59:51.820 So huge, huge implications. 59:51.820 --> 59:54.820 And the toxicity is going to be off the charts after this match. 59:54.820 --> 59:57.820 I can just feel it. 59:57.820 --> 01:00:01.420 I feel like he hit everything there. First of all, this Korean is improving. 01:00:01.420 --> 01:00:05.180 Second of all, the... 01:00:05.180 --> 01:00:08.020 No, don't just land her on this test. You wonder why he had no shirt? 01:00:08.020 --> 01:00:10.420 He finds an orphan every day and gives it to them. 01:00:10.420 --> 01:00:12.020 That's my boy! 01:00:12.020 --> 01:00:14.620 How do you feel now, Rob? 01:00:14.620 --> 01:00:18.420 Also, the toxicity will be off the charts. I think it's accurate. 01:00:18.420 --> 01:00:22.420 Yeah, we know it. The last two games, actually, at the end of the line. 01:00:22.420 --> 01:00:24.220 I got you. That's my boy. 01:00:24.220 --> 01:00:32.420 We've heard it from Lyon and Inspired. I want to know what our boys think, actually, as we've heard from Skimon and Caps in the Verizon Game Day interview. 01:00:32.420 --> 01:00:33.420 Let's take a look. 01:00:36.220 --> 01:00:49.420 Now going up against your next opponent, and that is Lyon. And of course, I know that there's been formidable opponents in the past, but this one has a special flair because of the Evers and a matchup and Inspired waiting there. What are your thoughts? 01:00:49.420 --> 01:00:56.420 Yeah, I mean definitely going to be like a super high matchup as you mentioned, I mean last time I've actually faced Inspired, we got 2-0 in the MSI 01:00:56.420 --> 01:01:00.420 And I do believe even though like people might see us as like the favorites because we're going against T1 01:01:00.420 --> 01:01:07.420 I think this match is going to be like really contested as well, I think they are like a really strong team so we'll have to do our best to just like keep winning obviously 01:01:07.420 --> 01:01:10.420 And yeah, I mean for me it's like going to be a good time to take my revenge from the SMS 01:01:10.420 --> 01:01:18.420 Okay, can you give some more hope to the EU fans? They're waiting, it would be such a G2 thing to beat T1 and the Lions 01:01:18.420 --> 01:01:22.900 I mean I mean for sure like I agree with you so I mean I for sure like we'll do our best to just keep 01:01:23.460 --> 01:01:25.460 being I guess having a good format and uh 01:01:26.260 --> 01:01:30.260 Yeah, I just hope that we'll go as fast as possible because I do believe you have a good chance at this MSI 01:01:30.340 --> 01:01:36.580 I mean you've already shown it, but the goal is to like stay consistent and yeah do our best. Yeah, best of luck. Thank you very much 01:01:38.820 --> 01:01:40.900 Do you have any strong feelings about going up against inspired? 01:01:40.900 --> 01:01:44.580 He's kind of become I think one of the 400s one of the poster kiles for like na as a whole 01:01:44.580 --> 01:01:47.780 Do you have any special feelings on on that matchup and going kind of against him? 01:01:47.780 --> 01:01:51.920 I might not sound a direct role, but I'm curious if you give any special thought to going up against him. 01:01:51.920 --> 01:01:55.700 I'm for sure, yeah. I mean, I think we obviously went up against FlyQuest a lot with Inspire as well. 01:01:55.700 --> 01:02:00.780 And I think now going up against Lion with Inspire, it's definitely very exciting because we're doing it like year after year after year. 01:02:00.780 --> 01:02:07.780 I remember in the past we were playing a lot against Team Liquid, but now with Lion coming in, it feels like the Dragon meme, 01:02:07.780 --> 01:02:11.780 where there's like C1, BLG, and then there's Lion, you know what I'm saying? 01:02:11.780 --> 01:02:15.780 That's the only thing I'll go with. 01:02:17.780 --> 01:02:23.380 You know, that Capz is feeling it usually when he ventures like this because that is very unlike him. 01:02:23.380 --> 01:02:31.380 You know what reminds me of a little match between G2 and Energy where they were counting their chickens before they hatched? 01:02:31.380 --> 01:02:34.180 They were looking past the NA representative. 01:02:34.180 --> 01:02:38.180 Now, we don't care about this. The past is the past. It's ancient E3. It was also... 01:02:38.180 --> 01:02:39.980 Come on, from the region of 2019. 01:02:39.980 --> 01:02:43.380 Yeah, that's probably from a roster that they didn't believe in anymore. 01:02:43.380 --> 01:02:46.320 And after that G2 rebuilt, trusted in new players. 01:02:46.320 --> 01:02:48.900 It took a while before it came into fruition, 01:02:48.900 --> 01:02:52.020 but I felt like this year especially they decided to stick together, 01:02:52.020 --> 01:02:56.860 trusting LeBrov, trusting Skimon, had an amazing journey at first hand. 01:02:56.860 --> 01:03:01.400 And I felt like for once they're back, the bet is finally paying off. 01:03:01.400 --> 01:03:02.980 Other stars aligned for G2. 01:03:02.980 --> 01:03:08.140 I think they are. Like you talked about 2019, it's time to feel a little 2019 in here. 01:03:08.140 --> 01:03:11.580 We're seeing the Korean Killers back with BNK gone. 01:03:11.580 --> 01:03:14.480 We got Gen.G, no T when we've taken off. 01:03:14.480 --> 01:03:17.180 Hanwha Life could be next after this one, 01:03:17.180 --> 01:03:21.080 and it feels like we're getting that magic back for the squads. 01:03:21.080 --> 01:03:25.980 Yeah, and the thing that I want to shout out is just the fact that G2, 01:03:25.980 --> 01:03:28.580 after getting stomped by Hanwha Life, 01:03:28.580 --> 01:03:30.980 again, with this roster that you already talked about, 01:03:30.980 --> 01:03:34.380 Rob, where they stuck with LeBrov, they stuck with Skumon, 01:03:34.380 --> 01:03:36.180 they gave them time to grow as a team, 01:03:36.180 --> 01:03:38.780 and then they were able to recover from what was, I think, 01:03:38.780 --> 01:03:45.740 a very shocking and demoralizing loss for them like credit to the players and G2 coaching staff 01:03:45.740 --> 01:03:51.180 for the mental preparation and the actual like in-game preparation they had for T1. 01:03:51.180 --> 01:03:54.780 I know you're real what Emily. I absolutely agree but I think this draft you know it's 01:03:54.780 --> 01:03:59.100 going to be so big you know the series the draft is going to be so important. BV one of the big 01:03:59.100 --> 01:04:02.780 parts of them winning that series was his counter picks and I think sometimes T1 were looking 01:04:02.780 --> 01:04:06.620 past that they weren't respecting the counter picks they were blinding Doran constantly 01:04:06.620 --> 01:04:10.820 They, it seems maybe even kind of looked past the potential of that cleft coming out. 01:04:10.820 --> 01:04:13.340 And that's not something that I do expect Lyon to do. 01:04:13.340 --> 01:04:17.420 Their preparation, even in the series lost against BLG, I thought was really, really good. 01:04:17.420 --> 01:04:21.020 I think they are definitely respecting G2 as an opponent. 01:04:21.020 --> 01:04:26.220 And I don't expect BB to be set up as sick, for success, as much as he was in that last series. 01:04:26.220 --> 01:04:30.300 Yeah, and I think I do want to give Doka another small shout out as well, 01:04:30.300 --> 01:04:35.500 because it was thanks to his willingness to play these ranged counter picks top, 01:04:35.500 --> 01:04:40.540 that kind of changed and transformed Lyon throughout the split one playoffs. 01:04:40.540 --> 01:04:45.260 He's been playing more weak sides lately, but he does have a lot of interesting counterpicks 01:04:45.260 --> 01:04:47.340 that he is also willing to pull out with himself. 01:04:47.340 --> 01:04:52.060 The question I have here though for these counter picks, because it came down to counter picks, 01:04:52.060 --> 01:04:57.580 flexes as well between ADC and mid lane. I was talking to Zeus yesterday about this 01:04:57.580 --> 01:04:59.660 top lane matchup that we're going to have today and he was saying, 01:04:59.660 --> 01:05:03.900 I don't think they have more in the tank. I think when it comes to top lane, when it comes to BB 01:05:03.900 --> 01:05:07.180 And he did not even mention the club, but that's a lot of hobby. 01:05:07.180 --> 01:05:09.420 But he doesn't think that they can bring more to the ref. 01:05:09.420 --> 01:05:10.100 You agree on this? 01:05:10.100 --> 01:05:11.300 No, I don't agree at all. 01:05:11.300 --> 01:05:14.380 I mean, just look at the list of champions that they have actually played, right? 01:05:14.380 --> 01:05:18.140 And I think that these are players that are always going to have more in the bag. 01:05:18.220 --> 01:05:21.020 They're players that our veterans have been around for a long time 01:05:21.020 --> 01:05:22.340 through many different metas. 01:05:22.340 --> 01:05:24.740 So I think if they think it is the right opportunity for it, 01:05:24.740 --> 01:05:26.420 they're always going to have something else to reach them. 01:05:26.420 --> 01:05:28.020 I mean, even the show got the other day, right? 01:05:28.020 --> 01:05:31.260 Broken Blade said in interviews, hey, this wasn't actually something we prepared. 01:05:31.420 --> 01:05:33.620 I just saw there was a really good show that I can go on. 01:05:33.620 --> 01:05:34.920 and I was willing to take it. 01:05:34.920 --> 01:05:36.680 And I think that's what shows more, 01:05:36.680 --> 01:05:40.400 is that they have a depth when it comes to these champion picks. 01:05:40.400 --> 01:05:42.720 They're willing to bring it out at any point in time, 01:05:42.720 --> 01:05:45.120 and we're getting to see it on the main stage. 01:05:45.120 --> 01:05:46.960 What do you think is gonna come down to, 01:05:46.960 --> 01:05:48.240 because preparation is one thing, 01:05:48.240 --> 01:05:49.720 you cannot reinvent the wheel. 01:05:49.720 --> 01:05:51.680 When it comes to these stages of the competitions, 01:05:51.680 --> 01:05:53.160 where you have three days left, 01:05:53.160 --> 01:05:55.320 when you don't have a lot of time to improve, 01:05:55.320 --> 01:05:57.680 maybe scrims are getting a bit repetitive, 01:05:57.680 --> 01:05:58.520 what are we feeling here? 01:05:58.520 --> 01:06:00.520 I mean, for me, I think it's jungle and support, right? 01:06:00.520 --> 01:06:03.200 I think inspired versus Q-mon is the big focus. 01:06:03.200 --> 01:06:06.000 I think, honestly, I wanted to give it to Inspired a little bit. 01:06:06.000 --> 01:06:09.480 I think Inspired has been absolutely spectacular at this tournament, 01:06:09.480 --> 01:06:12.600 willing to bring out the Lee Sin, willing to play for those early games. 01:06:12.600 --> 01:06:17.000 But when I look at that support matchup, LeBrov has been everywhere. 01:06:17.000 --> 01:06:22.080 He has been the key focus, the mainstay for G2, the most consistent player. 01:06:22.080 --> 01:06:24.880 And if he can control the early game like he did against T1, 01:06:24.880 --> 01:06:26.240 I think that's where we have this. 01:06:26.240 --> 01:06:28.000 Yeah, I mean, for me, I'm just looking at execution. 01:06:28.000 --> 01:06:29.480 I think it's who shows up on the day. 01:06:29.480 --> 01:06:31.080 All right. You know what I want to know? 01:06:31.080 --> 01:06:33.120 I want to bring another EU resident. 01:06:33.120 --> 01:06:35.520 I want to bring another EU defector! 01:06:35.520 --> 01:06:37.520 I'm not allowed to do that! 01:06:37.520 --> 01:06:38.520 Wait a second, buddy. 01:06:38.520 --> 01:06:39.520 The Rat King, Janey! 01:06:39.520 --> 01:06:40.520 You can't do that here! 01:06:40.520 --> 01:06:42.520 You can't do that here! 01:06:42.520 --> 01:06:45.520 You can't be looking so handsome on the analyst desk like that! 01:06:45.520 --> 01:06:46.520 You're looking good as well. 01:06:46.520 --> 01:06:47.520 Everyone's super daffod up. 01:06:47.520 --> 01:06:48.520 It's great to be back. 01:06:48.520 --> 01:06:49.520 God, it's been forever. 01:06:49.520 --> 01:06:50.520 I think the last time I was here was a couple of years ago, maybe. 01:06:50.520 --> 01:06:51.520 Yeah. 01:06:51.520 --> 01:06:52.520 How are you doing, man? 01:06:52.520 --> 01:06:53.520 I'm doing good. 01:06:53.520 --> 01:06:56.520 I'm obviously being very biased to G2, so I predicted my 3.0 scoreline. 01:06:56.520 --> 01:06:57.520 I don't know if you... 3.0? 01:06:57.520 --> 01:06:58.520 Yeah. 01:06:58.520 --> 01:06:59.520 Yeah, quick. 01:06:59.520 --> 01:07:00.520 What did you do last year? 01:07:00.520 --> 01:07:01.520 Between G2 and FlyQuest? 01:07:01.520 --> 01:07:02.520 I don't remember, actually. 01:07:02.520 --> 01:07:07.660 Like I've looked up like recent memory loss, but I do know that the game is starting Korea at 5 p.m. 01:07:07.660 --> 01:07:09.660 I booked a dinner reservation for 8 01:07:12.660 --> 01:07:15.780 Yeah, no, maybe I'll see them drive together 01:07:17.920 --> 01:07:23.560 They're swimming home, that's all we know. I also want to know what the fans think here in the massacre it's fun prediction 01:07:23.560 --> 01:07:28.880 I hope I hope is what I think is going to be in the very EU favorite here. Yeah 01:07:28.880 --> 01:07:30.880 20% 01:07:30.880 --> 01:07:32.880 Well well well well 01:07:32.880 --> 01:07:34.880 Another EU 01:07:34.880 --> 01:07:36.880 Timezone diff 01:07:36.880 --> 01:07:38.880 It's 4 am on the east coast 01:07:38.880 --> 01:07:40.880 I'm up before him getting my ice bath 01:07:40.880 --> 01:07:42.880 I'm like reading my dreams 01:07:42.880 --> 01:07:44.880 4 am getting my ice bath 01:07:44.880 --> 01:07:46.880 Yeah, James is locked in today 01:07:46.880 --> 01:07:48.880 Have you talked about James a little bit? 01:07:48.880 --> 01:07:50.880 Yeah, he's been going crazy 01:07:50.880 --> 01:07:52.880 James, I'm a big fan of the recent games 01:07:52.880 --> 01:07:54.880 If I was on the Camille and Pike 01:07:54.880 --> 01:07:56.880 I know where the game is going 01:07:56.880 --> 01:08:03.040 James is gonna have his number. I hope so. Wait, I hear we have more? Wait, we have more predictions coming? 01:08:03.740 --> 01:08:10.180 Okay predictions just yeah, let's get it here. Oh, oh wait, Draco's predicted 5-0.

This is the defining series of who's better. 01:08:56.560 --> 01:09:04.080 Oh, unless we lose, then she too chose. If she too lose, they're gonna give me a real 01:09:04.080 --> 01:09:06.240 prediction. They had bad drafts and they choked a little bit. 01:09:06.240 --> 01:09:11.680 Okay, I'm just gonna go through mine because I feel like Isaac's gonna call me traitor. 01:09:11.680 --> 01:09:16.560 However, this is an analytical prediction. I think this has potential to be an absolute 01:09:16.560 --> 01:09:20.440 bloodbath because these two teams are demons against each other. And that's why I said 01:09:20.440 --> 01:09:24.440 But I do give the edge to G2 in team fights and team fights. 01:09:24.440 --> 01:09:25.440 It's despicable. I'm surrounded. 01:09:25.440 --> 01:09:26.440 She doesn't even believe in you. 01:09:26.440 --> 01:09:28.440 Why are the P2 members? 01:09:28.440 --> 01:09:30.440 Well, the thing is, I wanted to bring maths into mind. 01:09:30.440 --> 01:09:32.440 I wanted to bring some algorithms into mind. 01:09:32.440 --> 01:09:35.440 So I was looking to sport it at the Global Pararankings, 01:09:35.440 --> 01:09:37.440 ParabayAWS this morning. 01:09:37.440 --> 01:09:39.440 Guess who's number two in the world? 01:09:39.440 --> 01:09:41.440 G2! 01:09:41.440 --> 01:09:44.440 Overtaking Honwells to get top two. 01:09:44.440 --> 01:09:46.440 They're not even top ten. 01:09:46.440 --> 01:09:49.440 Wait, is that the second seed from Europe? 01:09:49.440 --> 01:09:52.800 Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was the one that got three out by TL. Yeah, but 01:09:58.040 --> 01:10:02.480 There's no line there's no way I don't just speak up in the top ten in the world 01:10:02.480 --> 01:10:06.840 So I don't know. I should be trio by a bunch of ridiculous 01:10:06.840 --> 01:10:11.760 This you guys are just predicting purely off emotion, right? It's clear to see there's no analysis going on 01:10:11.760 --> 01:10:17.840 What we're gonna have to bring some facts into it. Yeah, you have this thing out. This is ridiculous bring it up 01:10:17.840 --> 01:10:20.960 I want the first flight, so I'm just gonna give you some facts 01:10:20.960 --> 01:10:26.720 I'm just gonna lay it out g2 0 3 versus fly quest last year at MSI who's on that team inspired 01:10:26.720 --> 01:10:31.960 He three out them and it was easy to and this guy watched and he probably cried a little bit afterwards 01:10:31.960 --> 01:10:36.340 Let's bring up the next point here some more facts for you if that wasn't enough 01:10:39.680 --> 01:10:41.520 Completely 01:10:41.520 --> 01:10:43.520 4. Lyon, extremely hard. 01:10:43.520 --> 01:10:45.520 What are you on that? 01:10:45.520 --> 01:10:46.520 Let's expand on that. 01:10:46.520 --> 01:10:48.520 Actually, I suppose it won't be hard for you. 01:10:48.520 --> 01:10:49.520 Like G2 tied that back. 01:10:49.520 --> 01:10:52.520 Zero wins versus number one seeds. 01:10:52.520 --> 01:10:55.520 Interesting how they just slipped by in the bracket. 01:10:55.520 --> 01:10:56.520 Very, very curious. 01:10:56.520 --> 01:11:00.520 Lyon, six wins versus number one seeds. 01:11:00.520 --> 01:11:03.520 G2 barely squeaked by top. 01:11:03.520 --> 01:11:04.520 They needed five games right? 01:11:04.520 --> 01:11:07.520 We three owed the team that three won top. 01:11:07.520 --> 01:11:08.520 Nope. Transit problems. 01:11:08.520 --> 01:11:10.520 It was really easy. 01:11:10.520 --> 01:11:12.360 We didn't even have to try. 01:11:12.360 --> 01:11:14.860 G2, they call it G2 because they can only scrape up 01:11:14.860 --> 01:11:17.240 two LCS titles from their entire roster. 01:11:17.240 --> 01:11:18.580 Are you kidding me, man?

01:12:05.620 --> 01:12:06.580 The most delicious cherries. 01:12:06.580 --> 01:12:09.920 I can't tell if I'm being gaslit or lied to, I don't know what's happening anymore. 01:12:09.920 --> 01:12:11.320 I believe this is amazing. 01:12:11.320 --> 01:12:12.020 Roll the clip. 01:12:13.360 --> 01:12:14.160 Wait, he brought footage?

01:12:56.300 --> 01:12:57.300 The weather in LA is beautiful this time of year. 01:12:57.300 --> 01:12:58.300 What can I say? 01:12:58.300 --> 01:13:00.300 Take the three odds, man. 01:13:00.300 --> 01:13:02.500 The weather in LA is beautiful this time of year. 01:13:02.500 --> 01:13:04.220 What can I say? 01:13:04.220 --> 01:13:06.380 Three of us, and you can stick together as a team. 01:13:06.380 --> 01:13:07.420 I'll take you around. 01:13:07.420 --> 01:13:08.740 We'll go to the beach. 01:13:08.740 --> 01:13:11.060 We'll be taking more of your NA players, buddy. 01:13:11.060 --> 01:13:14.700 If Toka pops off today, well, welcome to the NEC. 01:13:14.700 --> 01:13:16.380 I like that you guys are realizing 01:13:16.380 --> 01:13:18.020 where the real talent is. 01:13:18.020 --> 01:13:20.700 Your top three teams all led by NA. 01:13:20.700 --> 01:13:21.740 Where are they? 01:13:21.740 --> 01:13:24.500 We got JoJo Pien, the true star. 01:13:24.500 --> 01:13:25.340 Is he in this game? 01:13:25.340 --> 01:13:27.340 We got Buzio, the true star. 01:13:27.340 --> 01:13:29.980 And we got the mastermind, the one leader. 01:13:29.980 --> 01:13:36.340 Dylan Fongo, the king who famously told Caps, we have to go Vayne here. 01:13:36.340 --> 01:13:42.060 And then he told us to broken blade, we just didn't play this concept, but he was the one 01:13:42.060 --> 01:13:43.220 who called for the Kled pick. 01:13:43.220 --> 01:13:44.220 This is going to be everything. 01:13:44.220 --> 01:13:48.300 To me, I really feel like my main just viewing point is Caps, like, I feel like you get a 01:13:48.300 --> 01:13:50.500 feel for Caps in the first couple minutes of the game. 01:13:50.500 --> 01:13:51.500 Yeah. 01:13:51.500 --> 01:13:53.700 Against Hammerlife, you could see something was off, but I think what he, when you can 01:13:53.700 --> 01:13:56.540 see he's like really on against T1 in the first game. 01:13:56.540 --> 01:13:59.840 I think the belief comes in caps. How's it gonna do in the first game in the first ten minutes? 01:13:59.840 --> 01:14:04.440 Where does the belief come in for you? The belief comes from the fact that we're gonna 3-0! Bro, it's gone! 01:14:04.440 --> 01:14:08.640 I don't need belief. I know we're gonna win 3-0. 01:14:08.640 --> 01:14:14.200 I know we got a 3-0. I think the only people who need belief here are gonna be the NA fans. 01:14:14.200 --> 01:14:19.320 If they're even up, it's the middle of the night for you guys. I think you're not gonna even gonna be watching this. 01:14:19.320 --> 01:14:23.980 You're gonna wake up. It's gonna be over EU. It is your time to shine. 01:14:23.980 --> 01:14:29.520 It's the best of five to settle it all here get your means ready get your t-shirts ready 01:14:29.520 --> 01:14:31.940 Get whatever social media is gonna be an absolute 01:14:32.460 --> 01:14:38.320 Fire here at the end of today because it is one best of five to prove it all one 01:14:38.820 --> 01:14:46.160 Best of five for either regions you gain bragging rights until the end of time the biggest ego battle in the West 01:14:46.180 --> 01:14:53.700 It's go big or swim home here is that it is time for the lower bracket semi finals with lion gaming versus G2 01:14:53.700 --> 01:14:55.700 Let's hit it! 01:15:23.700 --> 01:15:30.700 It's been a bumpy road to get to this point. 01:15:30.700 --> 01:15:34.700 I wasn't able to find a competitive team where we can compete internationally. 01:15:34.700 --> 01:15:37.700 It's very difficult to go through those stretches of time. 01:15:37.700 --> 01:15:39.700 You don't see the light at the end of the tunnel. 01:15:39.700 --> 01:15:45.700 Now, with a new team, the plan was to make everyone feel uncomfortable. 01:15:45.700 --> 01:15:52.700 For the first time in four years, North America makes top four internationally. 01:15:52.700 --> 01:16:01.700 When you dedicate so much of your life to just a single aspect of it and you want to do well in it and you want to be his best in the world, this is what you expect. 01:16:01.700 --> 01:16:04.700 Come on, you need one more hand. Don't look! Flash is in the get-it! 01:16:04.700 --> 01:16:13.700 Doklai has a chance to go further to a higher place. However, it's been a long time since Doklai stopped him from going to the front. 01:16:13.700 --> 01:16:19.700 I think that Doklai has caught up with many haters, just the same as I did. I have nothing but respect for him. 01:16:19.700 --> 01:16:26.700 I really enjoy every time I come internationally to see Brooklyn. We were teammates at one point, and GSM went back to the new point point. 01:16:26.700 --> 01:16:28.700 I'm really proud of how far he's come. 01:16:29.700 --> 01:16:33.700 We don't play as an opponent that we'll find the hardest against because that's the only thing we deserve. 01:16:36.700 --> 01:16:42.700 Meanwhile, two players from the same team are going down the history of the MSI. 01:16:43.700 --> 01:16:46.700 If you had a really good year so far, they're going to be a really tough opponent. 01:16:46.700 --> 01:16:49.700 When we're in the game, it feels like family, you know? 01:16:49.700 --> 01:16:51.700 We move together, there's no one left behind. 01:16:51.700 --> 01:16:54.700 So I have full trust in my teammates when they want to take a fight, 01:16:54.700 --> 01:16:55.700 then we're gonna win the fight. 01:16:55.700 --> 01:16:59.700 G2 of the 7 years! 01:16:59.700 --> 01:17:02.700 Manage to Top of G1! 01:17:02.700 --> 01:17:06.700 He's a friend outside of the T-shirt, but he's the enemy inside the T-shirt. 01:17:06.700 --> 01:17:10.700 Only the three of them can be in the team. 01:17:22.700 --> 01:17:24.700 The game is over. 01:17:24.700 --> 01:17:27.700 The two teams, NA, KONG, UR, SHARP. 01:17:32.700 --> 01:17:59.220 Welcome everyone to the Caster Desk with this EU vs NA class G2 taking to the stage, Lyon 01:17:59.220 --> 01:18:05.540 now far behind them. I'm Draco joined by Kobe and Jack for what will no doubt be the greatest 01:18:05.540 --> 01:18:12.580 and most anxiety inducing best of five in the history of the sport. Every North America 01:18:12.580 --> 01:18:18.820 versus Europe match that we ever get Draco's at the time is the most important matchup ever. 01:18:19.700 --> 01:18:24.260 I don't want to discuss the finals but this is our final. Someone makes it to the finals. 01:18:24.260 --> 01:18:25.260 This is our finals. 01:18:25.260 --> 01:18:30.260 It's so rare that we get the number one seed from the LCS and the LEC 01:18:30.260 --> 01:18:32.260 with the chance to eliminate each other. 01:18:32.260 --> 01:18:35.260 Last year, yes, FiveQuest did beat G2. 01:18:35.260 --> 01:18:36.260 That was the number two seed. 01:18:36.260 --> 01:18:38.260 So we're being a little technical here, 01:18:38.260 --> 01:18:41.260 but the last time this step was 2019, time before that was 2013. 01:18:41.260 --> 01:18:43.260 This is only the third time in history 01:18:43.260 --> 01:18:46.260 the number one seed of each region has played in the elimination series against each other. 01:18:46.260 --> 01:18:52.260 It's so rare, but it also reminds us why so often we have to resort to the little technicalities 01:18:52.260 --> 01:18:53.700 to talk about this rivalry. 01:18:53.700 --> 01:18:56.220 Who beat who in the best of one here or best of one there? 01:18:56.220 --> 01:18:58.100 But for the first time in a very long time, 01:18:58.100 --> 01:18:59.980 this is the definitive series. 01:18:59.980 --> 01:19:02.140 You heard it from K. to hear it from just about everyone. 01:19:02.140 --> 01:19:03.180 Do or die. 01:19:03.180 --> 01:19:04.300 This is the series. 01:19:04.300 --> 01:19:07.460 No excuses what came before seizes to have relevance. 01:19:07.460 --> 01:19:12.300 So I see how you're already looking past KC losing to TRT0. 01:19:12.300 --> 01:19:13.980 I understand why you want to do that. 01:19:13.980 --> 01:19:14.480 Second seed. 01:19:14.480 --> 01:19:15.060 Doesn't matter. 01:19:15.060 --> 01:19:15.740 Doesn't matter. 01:19:15.740 --> 01:19:18.220 He's like, this is the one that matters because we lost 01:19:18.220 --> 01:19:20.100 the one earlier in the tournament already. 01:19:20.100 --> 01:19:21.780 Yeah, for sure. 01:19:21.780 --> 01:19:25.980 Okay, fair. But you haven't played T1, like, do we want, we can start slinging mine. 01:19:25.980 --> 01:19:29.580 Now, what's your record against T1? Should we check? Do we want to look into that? 01:19:29.580 --> 01:19:32.480 You know, honestly, I'm very nervous about this. 01:19:32.480 --> 01:19:36.280 So, I'm hoping that we have a good clean game out there on the Rift. 01:19:36.280 --> 01:19:42.280 This is actually anxiety inducing, so what I'm going to do is just talk about how great G2 is. 01:19:42.280 --> 01:19:48.980 Because, Treykos, they are exceptional. I mean, Brebe actually said they're like an Eastern team, and I tend to agree. 01:19:48.980 --> 01:19:56.780 I feel like if this Lyon team can take down a top Eastern team, a number two team in the world, in fact, they will deserve all the credit. 01:19:57.280 --> 01:19:58.680 True. It's a long shot. 01:19:58.680 --> 01:20:02.880 Okay, but you're not going to brug pull me and say the Eastern team is top Esports when you're talking about G2, right? 01:20:02.880 --> 01:20:04.380 Why are we even talking about the East? 01:20:04.380 --> 01:20:09.380 G2 are the greatest Western team of all time in League of Legends. 01:20:09.380 --> 01:20:10.680 It's like, no, stop. 01:20:10.680 --> 01:20:11.880 They're literally the best. 01:20:11.880 --> 01:20:13.780 Guys, this is something that all starts with success. 01:20:13.780 --> 01:20:14.280 Who do? 01:20:14.280 --> 01:20:14.780 Oh, god. 01:20:14.780 --> 01:20:15.780 You need to take it down or not. 01:20:15.780 --> 01:20:16.980 Lyon are also a good team. 01:20:16.980 --> 01:20:17.780 Let's not count the... 01:20:17.780 --> 01:20:18.380 Tell me more. 01:20:18.380 --> 01:20:19.660 the chickens before they hatch. 01:20:19.660 --> 01:20:20.660 Tell me what line is good. 01:20:20.660 --> 01:20:22.840 It's going to be a banger, St. Mary good mechanically, 01:20:22.840 --> 01:20:24.260 as is Berserker. 01:20:24.260 --> 01:20:26.740 Inspired, look, top-down skewmont. 01:20:26.740 --> 01:20:29.060 Well, at MSI last year, Worlds, we kind of glossed over, 01:20:29.060 --> 01:20:30.900 given that FlyQuest was falling apart. 01:20:30.900 --> 01:20:32.940 But that's a different story for a different time. 01:20:32.940 --> 01:20:34.820 As we get into picks and bans, big eyes 01:20:34.820 --> 01:20:36.500 are naturally going to be shifting towards the top side 01:20:36.500 --> 01:20:38.580 of the map, because Broken Blade and his counterpicks 01:20:38.580 --> 01:20:41.820 were the center of the story around G2 upsetting 01:20:41.820 --> 01:20:42.860 T1 in that series. 01:20:42.860 --> 01:20:44.660 And their draft plan in the T1 series, 01:20:44.660 --> 01:20:45.620 I think, was exceptional. 01:20:45.620 --> 01:20:46.620 It was also consistent. 01:20:46.620 --> 01:20:49.960 They kept the same three bands in all four games of that series. 01:20:49.960 --> 01:20:51.820 It was Jace, Vi, and Orianna. 01:20:51.820 --> 01:20:54.240 They keep the Jace ban for Jopla, who's good at Jace, 01:20:54.240 --> 01:20:57.360 but I will be curious to see how that stays consistent 01:20:57.360 --> 01:20:58.700 throughout the match. 01:20:58.700 --> 01:21:01.000 Are they going to leave Orianna up with just banning 01:21:01.000 --> 01:21:04.040 the Fury and Nocturne off the table? 01:21:04.040 --> 01:21:08.080 I mean, they're hesitating quite a while on this last ban. 01:21:08.080 --> 01:21:10.980 And Orianna has been devastating at the tournament, 01:21:10.980 --> 01:21:14.480 still very early on in the series as well, so. 01:21:14.480 --> 01:21:20.280 I'll say that if they leave it up, I think Saint just goes Casio. 01:21:20.280 --> 01:21:23.920 It's a matchup that they've been pretty willing to take against other teams. 01:21:23.920 --> 01:21:27.080 Now that was, I remember that back from NA finals when they did that against 01:21:27.080 --> 01:21:28.360 Quinn, who's not the strongest Orianna. 01:21:28.360 --> 01:21:32.880 Caps is one of the best Orianas ever, and it's actually ignored for now. 01:21:32.880 --> 01:21:36.160 And that would be an exceptional Orianna combo, and it's a good pick into Orianna. 01:21:36.160 --> 01:21:37.440 So they're an interesting first player team. 01:21:37.440 --> 01:21:39.560 They're putting the pressure back online now. 01:21:39.560 --> 01:21:42.600 Now they're like, OK, if you want to pick the Orianna, 01:21:42.600 --> 01:22:10.600 We have one of the champions that is best at punishing low mobility carries or Jarvan perfect Cataclysm options there and if you don't pick it as you said very good synergy with the champion as well so nice little move here from G2 to get a pivot point with the Jarvan kind of avoiding the issue by just saying hey we're going to slam Ezreal and perhaps a jungler as well let the mid pick go later and later prioritizing mobility to get around the Jarvan rather than worrying about securing a very contested mid lane champ. 01:22:10.600 --> 01:22:13.640 And we'll see how traditional the bot lane picks day in the series. 01:22:13.640 --> 01:22:17.400 I know this has been a very made heavy MSI meta, 01:22:17.400 --> 01:22:20.520 but Han Sama, not a great mage player historically. 01:22:20.520 --> 01:22:23.320 Berserker has looked good on Ziggs, but otherwise great on AD carries. 01:22:23.320 --> 01:22:25.400 And Lyon stays very standard here. 01:22:25.400 --> 01:22:28.040 The Ezreal good into Jarvan is in a standard counter matchup, 01:22:28.040 --> 01:22:30.360 and the Orianna game of chicken continues. 01:22:30.360 --> 01:22:31.320 Yeah, let's see. 01:22:31.320 --> 01:22:35.640 It's same thinking, oh, I'm going to play Ari or Yone or something else into it. 01:22:36.200 --> 01:22:38.040 With the Kali band, like that's the go-to one 01:22:38.040 --> 01:22:40.040 where you put lots of pressure after the Orianna, 01:22:40.040 --> 01:22:44.360 but there are other possible options for him in his pool 01:22:44.360 --> 01:22:48.160 and inspired with the Zen is going to look for the early scrap. 01:22:48.160 --> 01:22:52.040 So the early Anivia pick here, OK, it's still flexible. 01:22:52.040 --> 01:22:53.000 It doesn't tell you anything. 01:22:53.000 --> 01:22:54.280 That cap is very good at it. 01:22:54.280 --> 01:22:55.320 They could put it top. 01:22:55.320 --> 01:22:57.520 They could still put it bottom even though we hadn't 01:22:57.520 --> 01:22:59.800 done supported Anivia in a while. 01:22:59.800 --> 01:23:02.560 And so now we're looking at top for a job. 01:23:02.560 --> 01:23:03.920 That tells us a little bit more. 01:23:03.920 --> 01:23:06.080 So it could still technically be supported Anivia 01:23:06.080 --> 01:23:07.240 if they really want to get spicy, 01:23:07.240 --> 01:23:09.520 but it's probably Anivia top and Orianna mid. 01:23:09.520 --> 01:23:13.020 That's too spicy. I would just like to say as the G2 representative of this cast, that's too spicy. 01:23:13.020 --> 01:23:16.520 No one would give you. Keep the indivisible. No point. No point. No. 01:23:16.520 --> 01:23:20.520 Another thing I care about more is how are they going to punish this Orianna that they have left up 01:23:20.520 --> 01:23:23.020 and let paired with a Jarvan here. 01:23:23.020 --> 01:23:23.520 Yeah. 01:23:23.520 --> 01:23:27.520 So, number one, they're going to pick up the Bard here before we're... Oh. 01:23:27.520 --> 01:23:28.020 Okay. 01:23:28.020 --> 01:23:32.020 I don't know, the Bard would be quite good at trying to get through Orianna Flash and put Kill Pressure on her, 01:23:32.020 --> 01:23:35.520 but they want the strong poke lane here with the Karma Ezreal. 01:23:35.520 --> 01:23:40.520 And really what Lioner's saying is, hey, we're going to set up our 2v2 so well, we can ban away anything else that can stop us. 01:23:40.520 --> 01:23:45.020 And the cost is, you now have this Orianna that's going to be tough to contend with in terms of composition, 01:23:45.020 --> 01:23:49.520 and some of the options that D.O.C.L.M. might have into this Inivia, which is expected to go top, 01:23:49.520 --> 01:23:52.520 may get whittled away by G2, making his job that much harder. 01:23:52.520 --> 01:23:57.020 And they're kind of daring G2 to play a mage bottom lane because it doesn't fit within the current composition. 01:23:57.020 --> 01:24:00.520 Like, Inivia, Orianna is already automatic damage, they have to play an AD bot lane. 01:24:00.520 --> 01:24:07.140 Back when we were in the kind of 2v2 range support meta, I'd say in split wonder and first-hand Ezreal karma 01:24:07.520 --> 01:24:12.940 That was the king combo of that bot lane meta and Iles karma. He was on the train before others 01:24:12.940 --> 01:24:16.660 So this is a very very comfortable first three picks for lying here in this game 01:24:16.660 --> 01:24:22.460 Oh, and I am definitely not expecting G2 to do any mages bottom land. They already have so much a piece 01:24:22.460 --> 01:24:26.480 It is can't do there's a 0% chance that happens plus on some it has also not 01:24:26.480 --> 01:24:34.880 You know invested very heavily in those types of champions. So I do like the bar band and trying to take away from possible bar Caitlyn 01:24:35.880 --> 01:24:37.880 combination yeah 01:24:38.040 --> 01:24:42.800 Limiting the potential to have a champion like bar do can kind of match some of karma's early levels 01:24:42.800 --> 01:24:48.880 But also can just get really active on the map a comfortable pick for the broad to do G2 want to match the range support option 01:24:48.880 --> 01:24:54.000 Are they willing to concede the bot lane 2v2 just a bit LeBron can maybe play something with a bit more engage? 01:24:54.000 --> 01:24:59.900 Not always going to get taken away again. I think the most standard most reliable engage support pretty much 01:24:59.900 --> 01:25:01.480 It feels like forever 01:25:01.480 --> 01:25:03.280 Maybe dropped out of the meadow once or twice 01:25:03.280 --> 01:25:09.240 But that's the priority gt now get one final ban here to maybe limit what go click bring out up against broken blood 01:25:09.240 --> 01:25:13.440 They already took the Nara way which was one of his best individual performers in their previous series 01:25:13.440 --> 01:25:18.340 Yeah, and a lot of the top laners, you know have been so frustrated with a maybe a top because they're not they're like 01:25:18.340 --> 01:25:19.360 Well, what is that? 01:25:19.360 --> 01:25:22.160 There's not really something where you're gonna pick and you're going to win 01:25:22.160 --> 01:25:27.900 So you pick and you have these other options like the nar and like the casante where you're still gonna be useful to your team 01:25:28.200 --> 01:25:34.120 And not lose too much is kind of the goal there. So let's see what line decide to reveal first here 01:25:34.120 --> 01:25:38.640 I mean, I'm still on the edge of my seat for this answer into the Orianna from Saint again 01:25:38.640 --> 01:25:46.000 He has all these options for looking for pressure. They had the Zen early so they want to see if they can add on one of these 01:25:46.000 --> 01:25:50.260 state specialist he is very good Draco this is a very very good champion for 01:25:50.260 --> 01:25:54.140 states he has had some all-star plays with it and it got buffed since he had 01:25:54.140 --> 01:25:58.460 some really big carry performances in the LCS with it. Agreed but the ego here 01:25:58.460 --> 01:26:02.780 is insane like to just to give over Ori and game one say we don't care what you 01:26:02.780 --> 01:26:06.680 ban in phase two they end up not throwing any bans because G2 is so comfortable with 01:26:06.680 --> 01:26:10.660 the Ori on a matchup and he picks it with like not even incredible ult so far 01:26:10.660 --> 01:26:13.940 they'll probably go to Ash Seraphino which will be good ult. Yeah I mean it's 01:26:13.940 --> 01:26:17.360 It's gonna depend a lot around how much pressure they can have mid. 01:26:17.360 --> 01:26:20.940 I mean that's interesting because I know Percercar and I was very comfortable in the Ezreal 01:26:20.940 --> 01:26:24.180 combat matchup into Ash Seraphine specifically. 01:26:24.180 --> 01:26:28.820 And they've been able to get the push, land all their poke and try and get that advantage 01:26:28.820 --> 01:26:31.380 early on over the Ash Seraphine. 01:26:31.380 --> 01:26:36.740 But the G2 comp scales like an absolute freaking monster death ball. 01:26:36.740 --> 01:26:39.900 This is a crazy death ball team. 01:26:39.900 --> 01:26:45.460 It's going to depend a lot on can lion get their pressure points on these lanes mid and bottom 01:26:45.940 --> 01:26:47.940 Specifically, I want to see how inspired 01:26:48.500 --> 01:26:52.220 Controls the jungle to be able to affect the mid and the bottom lane 01:26:52.820 --> 01:26:57.260 Because if not, I am very very scared of the g2 ball comp 01:26:57.260 --> 01:27:01.100 My skepticism is high at the moment because I don't see the Silas or the renecting 01:27:01.380 --> 01:27:03.460 Getting pushing either of those soul lanes 01:27:03.460 --> 01:27:09.680 So everything will fall on that bottom lane and inspired is gonna have to find some way to get his soul lanes out of jail 01:27:09.900 --> 01:27:11.700 in an early scrimmage. 01:27:11.700 --> 01:27:14.220 But the story of the tournament, thus far, for Lyon, 01:27:14.220 --> 01:27:15.820 the last series felt like a team effort, 01:27:15.820 --> 01:27:16.980 but a lot of series before that. 01:27:16.980 --> 01:27:19.100 It was inspired and berserker, back to back, 01:27:19.100 --> 01:27:22.100 holding the line, making those wins come together. 01:27:22.100 --> 01:27:23.820 But as you've highlighted, the good news 01:27:23.820 --> 01:27:27.260 is that early Sylas pick, or that late Sylas 4, 01:27:27.260 --> 01:27:29.780 did set up to punish some of these alties from G2. 01:27:29.780 --> 01:27:31.540 There are some decent options for St. 01:27:31.540 --> 01:27:32.940 But the early stages are going to be tough. 01:27:32.940 --> 01:27:34.620 If you get ahead with this Lyon comp, 01:27:34.620 --> 01:27:36.100 you can no doubt take over the map. 01:27:36.100 --> 01:27:37.700 You highlighted it so well, Kobe. 01:27:37.700 --> 01:27:44.500 If we go late, if G2 get to scale, if you have to fight into them, God forbid, it feels like impossible task. 01:27:44.500 --> 01:27:50.060 And the early jungle passes around mid lane can affect it so heavily, because even if you don't kill the Silas, 01:27:50.060 --> 01:27:56.620 if you pass through and you chunk him or you get a summoner spell, Silas has to lane by trading his health at all times, 01:27:56.620 --> 01:28:00.940 and so it makes it very difficult then to continue to keep your CS up and continue to be able to lane. 01:28:00.940 --> 01:28:07.020 So we'll see if there are early jungle presence near the bottom triangle of the map, 01:28:07.020 --> 01:28:11.260 And if there are early jungle focus on the bottom half, 01:28:11.260 --> 01:28:13.940 that leaves Nivia alone versus Renekton, chat. 01:28:13.940 --> 01:28:16.460 I mean, it's not great, Kobe. 01:28:16.460 --> 01:28:17.300 We'll see, we'll see, we'll see. 01:28:17.300 --> 01:28:21.580 My anxiety is high, but my hope is also medium. 01:28:21.580 --> 01:28:22.940 There goes how are you feeling? 01:28:22.940 --> 01:28:24.740 My anxiety is also incredibly high, 01:28:24.740 --> 01:28:25.820 and my hope is also medium. 01:28:25.820 --> 01:28:28.220 I predicted 5-0 in anticipation of any bugs 01:28:28.220 --> 01:28:31.940 or potential remakes, but at the same time, you know, 01:28:31.940 --> 01:28:34.420 there was one day, it was HLE versus BLG, 01:28:34.420 --> 01:28:36.020 or HLE versus G2, it looked bad. 01:28:36.020 --> 01:28:37.640 There's one day that was really good, 01:28:37.640 --> 01:28:39.060 but those were both just single days. 01:28:39.060 --> 01:28:41.340 There's not an overall consistent trend of dominance, 01:28:41.340 --> 01:28:42.180 and I wish there was. 01:28:42.180 --> 01:28:43.020 First damage? 01:28:43.020 --> 01:28:45.140 Just secure comfort, but I'm gonna take this for now. 01:28:45.140 --> 01:28:46.740 First blood, first little bit of trade, 01:28:46.740 --> 01:28:48.380 technically not first blood, just first little hit. 01:28:48.380 --> 01:28:49.220 First damage. 01:28:49.220 --> 01:28:51.660 First damage, first damage and bot traded back, 01:28:51.660 --> 01:28:52.500 it's an even game. 01:28:52.500 --> 01:28:54.100 And that was a big chunk out of Douglas Hellfire. 01:28:54.100 --> 01:28:55.860 I mean, honestly, the full electric trade 01:28:55.860 --> 01:28:58.660 from Broken Blade, really nicely done from him 01:28:58.660 --> 01:29:01.140 in the brush, so already getting, you know, 01:29:01.140 --> 01:29:02.940 health advantage here over Renekton. 01:29:02.940 --> 01:29:05.260 And Renekton wants to try and build up some fury 01:29:05.260 --> 01:29:07.060 off of that wave too to be able to operate. 01:29:07.060 --> 01:29:09.140 But we'll see how they go, 01:29:09.140 --> 01:29:11.180 because bottom lane is supposed to be our pushing lane, 01:29:11.180 --> 01:29:14.060 and it depends a lot on do you land your skill shots 01:29:14.060 --> 01:29:16.180 against the Ash and Serafine. 01:29:16.180 --> 01:29:19.060 And currently both junglers are pathing top to bot lane 01:29:19.060 --> 01:29:22.900 to see if either side can get a really big amount 01:29:22.900 --> 01:29:24.100 of chunk damage. 01:29:24.100 --> 01:29:27.300 Dokla is gonna be in pain for a lot of this lane phase. 01:29:27.300 --> 01:29:30.500 You almost need to find a window to gank 01:29:30.500 --> 01:29:31.620 to make that lane better. 01:29:31.620 --> 01:29:34.060 Otherwise, Dokla's gonna have a really tough time. 01:29:34.060 --> 01:29:35.980 The thing is, I think you have to tell him, 01:29:35.980 --> 01:29:38.660 Dokla, you're going to have a tough time. 01:29:38.660 --> 01:29:40.620 I mean, is he already dead? 01:29:40.620 --> 01:29:42.780 He's getting walked down now, went in for a bit of extra healing 01:29:42.780 --> 01:29:44.540 off the cold of me, slicing dice already used, 01:29:44.540 --> 01:29:46.020 but broken blade. 01:29:46.020 --> 01:29:47.660 Long cooldowns, but a lot of auto attacks 01:29:47.660 --> 01:29:49.860 for free when the Renekton is forced to block back away. 01:29:49.860 --> 01:29:52.300 Because at least for me, the vision to win the game for line 01:29:52.300 --> 01:29:54.700 is around the mid lane and the bottom lane. 01:29:54.700 --> 01:29:56.820 And so sometimes you just have to tell Dokla, 01:29:56.820 --> 01:29:58.660 hey, it's going to be a tough time. 01:29:58.660 --> 01:30:03.100 But we'll see if they actually invest because it's 01:30:03.100 --> 01:30:03.980 a tough time already. 01:30:03.980 --> 01:30:08.540 Level 3 does make things a bit better, but obviously, there's a reason we're so excited about this matchup. 01:30:08.540 --> 01:30:15.100 It is not only natural regional rivalries over the years, but the constant back-and-forths, 01:30:15.100 --> 01:30:18.100 the absolute destruction of hope for one region or another. 01:30:18.100 --> 01:30:22.860 We're always fighting to take down the LCK or LPL, and pursuit of that, we're usually knocking each other out of the corner. 01:30:22.860 --> 01:30:24.540 Why are we only encoding them? 01:30:24.540 --> 01:30:25.300 You win. 01:30:25.300 --> 01:30:27.980 These are painful years. The early years were very bad for us. 01:30:27.980 --> 01:30:28.900 Hey, we found one! 01:30:28.900 --> 01:30:29.340 We found one. 01:30:29.340 --> 01:30:29.540 Yeah. 01:30:29.540 --> 01:30:30.300 We found one. 01:30:30.300 --> 01:30:31.780 The early years were bad, Jeff. 01:30:31.780 --> 01:30:33.860 There's not good tape from the early years, my god. 01:30:33.860 --> 01:30:34.700 I'm so happy to say. 01:30:34.700 --> 01:30:35.540 He has some trending upwards. 01:30:35.540 --> 01:30:36.380 Another one! 01:30:36.380 --> 01:30:37.300 Look at this! 01:30:37.300 --> 01:30:38.700 Oh my god, the memory lane here. 01:30:38.700 --> 01:30:41.700 On Independence Day, the graphics are easiest. 01:30:41.700 --> 01:30:43.020 That is... 01:30:43.020 --> 01:30:45.380 Dude, we even skipped a lot of the number two seed stuff 01:30:45.380 --> 01:30:46.900 that was happening, even the world's playing. 01:30:46.900 --> 01:30:48.900 But there were so many giant moments back then. 01:30:48.900 --> 01:30:52.580 I mean, even the first one, Han Sama on that Misfits team 01:30:52.580 --> 01:30:56.740 were considered such underdogs against that 2017 TSM team. 01:30:56.740 --> 01:30:58.980 And that's when TSM decided they had to go all in 01:30:58.980 --> 01:31:00.020 on Sven and Mithy. 01:31:00.020 --> 01:31:06.340 I mean it changed that outlook of all eSports history actually the beginning of these rivalries. So the course of our lives 01:31:07.980 --> 01:31:13.540 It goes even further back like my first naEU memory. I mean Colby beat EU at WCG 01:31:16.100 --> 01:31:21.380 That was 16 years ago, so I think start good they skip that you did you guys did I mean, you know 01:31:21.380 --> 01:31:24.140 I don't remember any of that, but you know good for you guys 01:31:24.140 --> 01:31:27.540 Staying strong. Who wants to see the light worlds by the way? I can't remember. 01:31:27.540 --> 01:31:32.200 I do want to focus on the game because we're gonna get a first gank and their pings in mid and they're gonna go mid. 01:31:32.200 --> 01:31:34.700 Uh-oh. Already used deep scon. Q flash. 01:31:35.740 --> 01:31:37.900 Schumann thought he had the angle just to finish him off. 01:31:37.900 --> 01:31:41.620 But a nice response comes out from saying a bit of an overestimation of his individual damage. 01:31:41.620 --> 01:31:45.020 Yeah, I mean big mind game there, right? Because Schumann could have EQ'd and flash followed, 01:31:45.020 --> 01:31:51.060 but he was trying to not commit to the turret completely. St. able to get his life out of there. 01:31:51.060 --> 01:31:54.100 I mean, Sam had actually died to an early gank 01:31:54.100 --> 01:31:55.660 in multiple games last series, 01:31:55.660 --> 01:31:57.500 so I think really fortunate he's able to survive that one. 01:31:57.500 --> 01:31:59.140 And that was one of the early steps 01:31:59.140 --> 01:32:00.980 that we brought up from Champion Select. 01:32:00.980 --> 01:32:03.540 Can you get an early gank passed through mid 01:32:03.540 --> 01:32:06.060 to take away some cooldowns from Silas? 01:32:06.060 --> 01:32:07.340 And they do trade their flash. 01:32:07.340 --> 01:32:09.300 It is worth for jungler to trade their flash 01:32:09.300 --> 01:32:10.500 with the Silas mid, 01:32:10.500 --> 01:32:13.060 because now Silas is gonna have to call for jungle support 01:32:13.060 --> 01:32:15.060 to get vision around his lane. 01:32:15.060 --> 01:32:18.940 Playing into the Orianna without vision around you 01:32:18.940 --> 01:32:20.420 would be very, very difficult. 01:32:20.420 --> 01:32:23.700 And so I do like that. Iles on his first reset there for the karma 01:32:23.700 --> 01:32:26.260 went immediately get the control ward and get the vision through river. 01:32:26.580 --> 01:32:29.420 An opportunity now for the next few minutes to maybe capitalize on 01:32:29.420 --> 01:32:32.500 that missing summoner spell in the mid lane, especially as cats could closer to 01:32:32.500 --> 01:32:36.540 level six. Kuman, as well as inspired both really just taking over to level five. 01:32:36.540 --> 01:32:39.260 So it's going to be a bit more time before we get those jungler alties online 01:32:39.260 --> 01:32:42.660 and available. Similar story for top though, where Doku has done pretty well for 01:32:42.660 --> 01:32:45.940 himself. Probably trying to set up a bit of a freeze here, but once you get past 01:32:45.940 --> 01:32:49.500 those first three, four levels, you're not winning the lane, but at least you can 01:32:49.500 --> 01:32:53.060 step up, get some CS and threaten a little bit. We're getting stuck there in the 01:32:53.060 --> 01:32:56.340 electrocute means that level six the dominance is gonna do some work getting 01:32:56.340 --> 01:32:59.220 it ahead of schedule ahead of broken blade is very big but not enough to 01:32:59.220 --> 01:33:02.100 immediately shift the lane. The second rune in the Doran's shield have done 01:33:02.100 --> 01:33:05.940 massive work for Doku up there and I'd say Saint spent a lot of his health and 01:33:05.940 --> 01:33:09.900 his flash to stay even in CS with Kat. This feels like a bit of an early 01:33:09.900 --> 01:33:13.540 Drake start at the time but it's a great timing because Saint had already 01:33:13.540 --> 01:33:17.300 teleported back to have the initial mid push and the bot lane because they 01:33:17.300 --> 01:33:21.940 prioritize this Ezra Karma so much. That's exceptional, Kobe, to be able to get this first drake. 01:33:21.940 --> 01:33:27.620 Yeah, our bottom triangle is going pretty well. We do have to still be cautious around this 01:33:27.620 --> 01:33:33.460 flash timer from Saint. That is an area to punish, and Skumon is making another visit from his side, 01:33:33.460 --> 01:33:38.820 where he is a control ward. But honestly, with Skodal Crab spawning on that top side too, 01:33:38.820 --> 01:33:44.100 I think he maybe does a little wrap around here. Now they're going to test Dokla. Looks like he 01:33:44.100 --> 01:33:49.140 actually cancels it and they're gonna secure the crab first. Get that level six for the Jarvan. 01:33:49.140 --> 01:33:54.340 When you have Cataclysm, then you for sure return to that mid lane and see if you can get some more out of Silas. 01:33:55.380 --> 01:33:56.100 Root Connecting. 01:33:56.820 --> 01:34:02.580 Exchange for Root as Ash already had propped the slow onto Isles, but neither side able to find 100-0 all in. 01:34:02.580 --> 01:34:08.260 Of course Berserker packing the cleanse means it's gonna be tough to find kill pressure in the isolated 2v2 here in bottom lane. 01:34:08.260 --> 01:34:12.420 This is a pace of game that Lion is very comfortable with. 01:34:12.420 --> 01:34:19.540 I'd say when they were at their best in the LCS, they had the types of games where they just make sure their farm stays up, they keep the gold close. 01:34:19.540 --> 01:34:25.620 There'd actually be a bunch of games, even against the mid-tier competition, where they would give over early dricks just to keep the gold even, 01:34:25.620 --> 01:34:29.700 because by far and away the strength of this line team is their late-game team fighting. 01:34:29.700 --> 01:34:32.100 So they're probably quite happy with how these first six minutes of time. 01:34:32.100 --> 01:34:35.700 Dominus burned top lane, Ruthless Predator to keep the stun going, Brocablad 01:34:36.700 --> 01:34:39.700 F***ing Altie finds the slow, trying to keep Doka in that trade 01:34:39.700 --> 01:34:43.700 but a very positive trade to Doka as we see a potential 2v2 breaking out in the bottom lane 01:34:43.700 --> 01:34:47.700 So, a lot of posturing, a lot of cooldowns traded for lane priority 01:34:47.700 --> 01:34:52.700 but nobody has died yet, it was importantly the fastest first break of MSI 26 so far 01:34:52.700 --> 01:34:55.200 So, very important, really good, I like that side 01:34:55.200 --> 01:34:56.500 Nice stat, appreciate it 01:34:56.500 --> 01:35:01.900 We had Caps on the desk after his T1 series and they'd actually, he talked a bit about the scrims that they played against Line 01:35:01.900 --> 01:35:05.240 He said that was extremely bloody, a bunch of remakes, the opposite of what we're seeing here. 01:35:05.240 --> 01:35:05.740 Rome from Saint. 01:35:05.740 --> 01:35:06.240 Rome D. 01:35:06.240 --> 01:35:09.740 Nice angle to connect to LeBron, once I'm gonna need the body block a bit here, but Saint's already on the way. 01:35:09.740 --> 01:35:11.460 Good side step on the Nisconde of Dux. 01:35:11.460 --> 01:35:12.900 Flash out from LeBron. 01:35:12.900 --> 01:35:15.260 Arrow body block by Berserker. 01:35:15.260 --> 01:35:17.820 Both sides somehow walking away. 01:35:17.820 --> 01:35:23.180 Okay, so it is Clemson heal for Flash and heal off of LeBron, and with the Rome timer there from Saint, 01:35:23.180 --> 01:35:25.500 used to get the extra summoner spell. 01:35:25.500 --> 01:35:31.300 See about that dragon, because the summoners for LeBron, at least the Flash, 01:35:31.300 --> 01:35:38.100 Won't be up for that big big team fight and we have seen seraphine all flashes have been crazy 01:35:38.820 --> 01:35:40.740 And turning some of these dragon fights 01:35:40.740 --> 01:35:44.820 So maybe line will get to keep their dragon stacking going and we do see 01:35:45.300 --> 01:35:49.260 The grubs about to spawn already reset potentially a look towards the top side of the map 01:35:49.500 --> 01:35:53.860 Zercher is still going to go bop and Isle's leaves posturing up there and crucially Isle's level six not big for karma 01:35:53.860 --> 01:35:56.460 But what is important is that LeBrop is not level six 01:35:56.460 --> 01:36:00.380 We'll make it that much harder if they want to try and contest and LeBrop even without his flash 01:36:00.380 --> 01:36:04.540 feels confident to go up to the Raptor pit to get that you know ward and they're 01:36:04.540 --> 01:36:07.420 pinging they're they're tracking because of the camps that they saw down 01:36:07.420 --> 01:36:11.060 already that inspired is on the bottom side of the map so they feel confident 01:36:11.060 --> 01:36:15.500 he's re clearing and they can get this setup for themselves on to grub so I 01:36:15.500 --> 01:36:19.700 think that is g2's they're gonna secure that one for sure yeah giving it away and 01:36:19.700 --> 01:36:22.220 inspired gonna try and take a little bit of pressure on the bottom side here so 01:36:22.220 --> 01:36:27.340 using this timer to maybe try and cut the brawl off or at the very least clear 01:36:27.340 --> 01:36:32.780 this vision. Han's trying to backstep. Gets away from the wind becomes lightning. What? Does not hit. 01:36:33.580 --> 01:36:38.860 Han's side. He did use his barrier there. Han's side on the line. No arrow. They're immediately 01:36:38.860 --> 01:36:41.740 just going to follow him. Instantaneous Crescent Guard. The ulti comes in from the front. It's just 01:36:41.740 --> 01:36:46.540 a little bit short. Lion clean. Effortless dive. Follow up ulti coming in for berserker. Just a 01:36:46.540 --> 01:36:51.820 bit of chip damage, but ultimately first blood to Lion. The calculation from Lion. You go for 01:36:51.820 --> 01:36:56.380 Grubbs. We go for cross map play. Now Douglas under attack though. He shouldn't know his weak side. 01:36:57.340 --> 01:37:02.040 Wall coming in behind. No way to escape, no slice of dice, but still chasing down Broken Blade. 01:37:02.040 --> 01:37:08.040 Broken Blade has to be careful here. Doku hoping he can flash out to save to get him a little bit closer, but Broken Blade takes him down. 01:37:08.840 --> 01:37:13.640 Good cross map by Skumon. You could see Doku couldn't quite get the wave all the way in, 01:37:13.640 --> 01:37:18.440 and it was really good timing for Skumon to trap Doku before he could get back to his turret. 01:37:18.440 --> 01:37:24.140 Yeah, Doku on the weak side up there. When Lion had made all these calculations in these calls, hey, they're doing grubs. 01:37:24.140 --> 01:37:27.360 So, let's go dive bottom side, you know, let's punish there and then 01:37:27.360 --> 01:37:31.400 successfully pull off the play, but Dokla at the same time wanted to 01:37:31.400 --> 01:37:35.780 egg Broken Blade, and so he ends up trading flashes there, does not get the 01:37:35.780 --> 01:37:40.080 egg because, you know, Skuman had extra stuff to do it, just taking grubs up there. 01:37:40.080 --> 01:37:42.520 There's got to be an element of baiting there for Broken Blade, right? 01:37:42.520 --> 01:37:46.680 Dokla's been in this difficult lane this entire time, he finally sees a window to 01:37:46.680 --> 01:37:50.320 like get a really good trade and maybe get a bit of an upper hand in the lane 01:37:50.320 --> 01:37:56.880 It ends up backfiring and honestly since we are coming out of such good series from both these top laners 01:37:56.880 --> 01:38:02.420 Look at how big dokes was in the previous series and how big broken blade was 01:38:03.080 --> 01:38:06.840 Especially with the Gled game, but truly the entire series the top lane 01:38:07.420 --> 01:38:11.540 The top lane matchup here. They are coming off of such good series for both of them 01:38:11.540 --> 01:38:17.380 I mean that Gled game was just legendary. He had 15 kills against actual legacy 01:38:17.380 --> 01:38:23.660 It's the most kills a top laner's ever had in the game at MSI it ties the international record for 01:38:24.340 --> 01:38:26.020 Kills in a game for top laner 01:38:26.020 --> 01:38:29.860 There's one of the best top lane games someone has ever had and he could have had 16 kills 01:38:29.860 --> 01:38:33.700 But this is the nexus instead like I would say you take it 01:38:33.700 --> 01:38:37.280 He could be so he could be in sole possession of that record, but instead happy to 01:38:38.020 --> 01:38:39.220 Make a big trick right here 01:38:39.220 --> 01:38:45.460 The first time is captain setting up currently just set to be a 50-50 the liner stepping forward threatening for more 01:38:45.460 --> 01:38:49.260 W Flash, I'm inspired a bit awkward finds the initial knockup on this few moments 01:38:49.260 --> 01:38:50.460 don't have enough away 01:38:50.460 --> 01:38:55.920 They can get the uncontested smite shockwave onto only Isles. It's a bit of an awkward star for G2 01:38:55.920 --> 01:38:56.220 St 01:38:56.220 --> 01:39:00.540 We're gonna find some impact with this arrow good size up from caps uses the movement speed from the heel 01:39:00.900 --> 01:39:04.380 But as much as we wanted the blood bath as much as that's what we heard happened in scrims 01:39:04.900 --> 01:39:10.940 There's not a lot of blood or bathing happening on the roof right now top play at least giving us a little bit of action here 01:39:10.940 --> 01:39:12.760 as the Dominus is forced out. 01:39:12.760 --> 01:39:14.780 Yeah, very necessary all right there from Dirkley 01:39:14.780 --> 01:39:16.980 to get the extra health to survive the electrocute proc 01:39:16.980 --> 01:39:18.180 from Broken Blade. 01:39:18.180 --> 01:39:21.520 On bottom side too, you know, Ile's soaks up 01:39:21.520 --> 01:39:25.180 that the shockwave from Caps, he does not flinch, 01:39:25.180 --> 01:39:26.240 he does not flash out of it. 01:39:26.240 --> 01:39:28.020 He's like, yeah, I'm fine with just the heal. 01:39:28.020 --> 01:39:30.700 He soaks it and then Berserker after the shockwave is used, 01:39:30.700 --> 01:39:32.820 can go in and they push their way right back out 01:39:32.820 --> 01:39:34.380 after taking the dragon. 01:39:34.380 --> 01:39:38.060 So Lyon, everything is still going according to plan. 01:39:38.060 --> 01:39:40.460 You know, they're trying to play off the bottom triangle, 01:39:40.460 --> 01:39:43.720 As we said, keep those dragons stacking, play towards their soul. 01:39:43.720 --> 01:39:48.460 But I think the good news for Lion is, oftentimes when you see top side objectives like the Grubs traded for dragons, 01:39:48.460 --> 01:39:50.800 usually the top side objectives also come with a gold leaf. 01:39:50.800 --> 01:39:57.800 It's a preserved 20 CS up over Haun, single-handedly ensuring that they not only have started to stack the drakes on a Hextech soul nonetheless, 01:39:57.800 --> 01:40:03.360 but they've also got this gold leaf, which while small is significant because it's the difference of having this Trinity Force as real, 01:40:03.360 --> 01:40:06.320 a very expensive first spike in the next fight and not having it. 01:40:06.320 --> 01:40:11.120 I mean, we look at the gold, not only does it line up with who we think the top performers on line are, 01:40:11.120 --> 01:40:12.920 it also lines up with what should be happening. 01:40:12.920 --> 01:40:15.920 Like, these are tough-solving matchups that Joklund and Saint are playing. 01:40:15.920 --> 01:40:19.720 And look at the map right now. So, they've got the extra teleport for Lyon, 01:40:19.720 --> 01:40:23.720 so they're keeping the split push on bottom side while G2 are overloading top. 01:40:23.720 --> 01:40:27.620 And Lyon have their choice. All right, are we just gonna trade and keep Saint on bottom side? 01:40:27.620 --> 01:40:31.320 It looks like that's the call, and G2 will make the push for the first turret bonus. 01:40:31.320 --> 01:40:35.520 So, here's the question. We know that Lyon likes generally slower games, 01:40:35.520 --> 01:40:39.120 But I also don't feel like this G2 composition loves to play fast. 01:40:39.120 --> 01:40:42.840 Like the Orianna, Jarvan, Anivia, and the Death Ball that we talked about in draft, 01:40:42.840 --> 01:40:45.240 they should also be comfortable in a solo pace again. 01:40:45.240 --> 01:40:49.080 And I think Lyon really prefer, if they, if it inspires, like, you know what? 01:40:49.080 --> 01:40:54.800 Our approach to this fight has, uh, you know, like a 5% chance lower success rate than like a normal fight. 01:40:54.800 --> 01:40:55.520 Take the next fight. 01:40:55.520 --> 01:40:57.440 Let's not do it. Yeah. And so like, you know what? 01:40:57.440 --> 01:41:00.600 Let's just keep on focusing bottom of the map. 01:41:00.600 --> 01:41:02.720 The dragons, the dragons, the dragons. 01:41:02.720 --> 01:41:08.880 And so they do trade, yes, first turret bonus for, you know, for G2, and they do increase that lead. 01:41:08.880 --> 01:41:14.000 Broken Blade is the highest gold difference, of course, with his Adivia matchup. Very nice for him, 01:41:14.000 --> 01:41:20.000 of course, with the extra, you know, kill to his name. And we did say how Broken Blade is coming 01:41:20.000 --> 01:41:26.880 into this match as the literal hero of Europe with their previous series. Usually it's CAPS, 01:41:26.880 --> 01:41:32.640 said you like international caps, but broken blade really shining through and in this game on the 01:41:32.640 --> 01:41:36.560 Anivia he could be a menace. Yeah, but it's not enough to have that gold advantage, right? We see 01:41:36.560 --> 01:41:40.800 this so often in top lane. 600, 700 gold. If you can't turn it into a greater advantage for the team, 01:41:40.800 --> 01:41:45.040 it might not matter much. And the Anivia is not the Kled. It can't single-handedly start fights. 01:41:45.040 --> 01:41:49.360 It needs that setup. It needs to have the team around often times. So G2, a lot of pressure on 01:41:49.360 --> 01:41:53.200 them for the next strike. Two minutes before they're going to have to fight for that. One minute 01:41:53.200 --> 01:41:56.720 until the Herald spawns and we'll see if that's the kind of fight that Lyon are looking for. 01:41:56.720 --> 01:42:02.720 Yeah, it's going to be quite interesting because G2's comp is very well set up to handle a lot of the melees on Lion 01:42:02.720 --> 01:42:10.320 But Lion also have the Ezreal and Karma poke. So, yes, the Ash and Seraphine and Amivia are very very difficult for like 01:42:10.320 --> 01:42:19.320 Xen, Silas and Renekton to have a, you know, fun teamfight in, but they also have some some poke there with Berserker and I also try and work off beforehand 01:42:19.320 --> 01:42:25.320 And if they can get a flank, it can be devastating. Saint here, if he steals away one of those big CC ults, but... 01:42:25.320 --> 01:42:27.320 Slow on a berserker. Stumont. 01:42:27.520 --> 01:42:31.620 Waiting in the side brush. Hoping to just fight for the Scuttle Crab. 20 seconds again until the Herald spawns. 01:42:31.620 --> 01:42:35.520 Lions sizing up their options. The battle for mid-pile pretty even so far now. 01:42:35.520 --> 01:42:39.720 Caps has been sent bottom lane to respond to that wave pressure, but still has TP. 01:42:39.720 --> 01:42:41.220 So can join the fight if needed. 01:42:41.220 --> 01:42:46.320 Very respectful from both teams. Just trying to stack up these small advantages as Stumont is on the way. 01:42:46.320 --> 01:42:47.720 Jokla has Flash and R. 01:42:47.720 --> 01:42:50.220 Wall is there. Only gonna get the slice. 01:42:50.220 --> 01:42:52.720 He's trying to have the dice. Now has to turn back with the diamonds. 01:42:52.720 --> 01:42:56.320 Hoping to find Broke of Light. Immediate TP and TP response coming in from G2, but Dokela 01:42:56.320 --> 01:42:58.080 just gonna back away. 01:42:58.080 --> 01:43:02.320 We're set up for a 5v5 on the top side of the map. It's only 1-1. 15 minutes in. 01:43:02.320 --> 01:43:05.280 Will we finally see a fight? It's G2 are a bit split. 01:43:05.280 --> 01:43:07.920 Might have all five members together. Caps flash away from Inspire. 01:43:07.920 --> 01:43:09.840 Inspire locked up, but it's Broken Blade isolated. 01:43:09.840 --> 01:43:12.400 Forced to flash as well. All D again from the Bravo. 01:43:12.400 --> 01:43:14.240 We're gonna hit one. Immediate Mikhail's going in. 01:43:14.240 --> 01:43:16.160 The Broad down from the midst of the entire team. 01:43:16.160 --> 01:43:18.400 They get a decent combo on the side of G2. 01:43:18.400 --> 01:43:22.640 But it's that Scumon now caught in Sait who steals away the Cataclysm. 01:43:22.640 --> 01:43:26.360 Takes the double. He's just using G2's alties better. 01:43:26.360 --> 01:43:29.040 Sait goes in huge at the end of that fight. 01:43:29.040 --> 01:43:33.160 You could see Inspire calculated that he wanted that fight. 01:43:33.160 --> 01:43:35.640 He kept it going on this end, and it's a two for one. 01:43:35.640 --> 01:43:41.200 And it's about the team getting together, connected in the river first. 01:43:41.200 --> 01:43:43.800 Look at the early move from the bottom lane. 01:43:43.800 --> 01:43:45.760 The Ezreal Karma moving up first, though. 01:43:45.760 --> 01:43:47.840 Dopla creates a space. He flashes an Umbroke Blade 01:43:47.840 --> 01:43:49.680 to create the time for the arrival of the TP. 01:43:49.680 --> 01:43:52.000 And they are inspired, runs towards this bottom lane. 01:43:52.000 --> 01:43:54.340 So they're chased from camps, and the rest of them get pincered. 01:43:54.340 --> 01:43:57.420 And the new Berserkernals were stronger, so they're the ones that are actually going this fight. 01:43:57.420 --> 01:43:59.920 First, Hans-Saman LaGroff can't really become involved in this fight. 01:43:59.920 --> 01:44:04.060 And then when Inspired flies over the wall, he's really forcing this fight to happen, 01:44:04.060 --> 01:44:08.100 which keeps G2 engagement since St. had the cataclysm at the end. He can end it. 01:44:08.100 --> 01:44:11.860 Yeah, I swear, it's just such a big difference of impact from the bottom lanes, 01:44:11.860 --> 01:44:15.000 with the Ash arrow hitting nobody, Draco's going wide, 01:44:15.000 --> 01:44:19.300 and the Seraphine ult only connecting on one, and immediately getting cleaned off. 01:44:19.300 --> 01:44:27.960 I mean, that was immediate reactions there from Lyon and from the rest of the team, they're going to pick up the dragon after that. 01:44:27.960 --> 01:44:31.880 It is a huge, huge fight, the domino effect for the rest of the game. 01:44:31.880 --> 01:44:36.020 Soul point now for Lyon with a gold lead, a good start. 01:44:36.020 --> 01:44:39.160 And I've got to say, I love the smile I see out of St. 01:44:39.160 --> 01:44:43.960 The big story going into this year for Lyon was how were St. inspired going to be as a duo. 01:44:43.960 --> 01:44:49.360 It's going better than anyone expected in their wildest dreams, and Saint is performing in this game. 01:44:49.360 --> 01:44:55.360 Yeah, perfect territory for the fight for them too, with Silas having that mobility in the scrap over the wall here. 01:44:55.360 --> 01:45:01.460 Nice little move from him, and Silas had the quick reaction with the Mikaels, the cleanse off from Dokla, 01:45:01.460 --> 01:45:07.160 the single hit on the Seraphine ult, so now we're already looking five minutes again in the future. 01:45:07.160 --> 01:45:11.360 Yeah, I feel like this game is the history channel meme of dragons! 01:45:11.360 --> 01:45:15.960 It's just a dragon soul, a Hextech soul on Ezreal Karma to take. 01:45:15.960 --> 01:45:17.960 They're rolling. Ash Arrow connects. 01:45:18.460 --> 01:45:21.060 Skumon takes, initial knock-up there, stuns CC Paul. 01:45:21.060 --> 01:45:25.060 Finally LeBron gets a good ult, but it doesn't matter because his jungler is already dead. 01:45:25.460 --> 01:45:28.760 Getting massive value from the Silas here, Kobe. 01:45:28.760 --> 01:45:30.960 Yeah, he steals another great ult. 01:45:30.960 --> 01:45:34.460 He uses it to headshot Skumon. 01:45:34.560 --> 01:45:39.060 The EQ in line with the trajectory of the Ash Arrow, 01:45:39.060 --> 01:45:41.640 and they find the kill anyway. 01:45:41.640 --> 01:45:45.140 This game could definitely change off of one great shockwave or one great wall, 01:45:45.140 --> 01:45:47.520 but it is a little bit difficult for T2 to force fights, 01:45:47.520 --> 01:45:49.780 in part because of Lion's itemization here. 01:45:49.780 --> 01:45:53.340 Look at this. Three pairs of merc treads on the top side of the map, 01:45:53.340 --> 01:45:55.540 and then also a Mikael's from the Karma, 01:45:55.540 --> 01:45:59.540 so their triple bruisers are very difficult to hold in place, 01:45:59.540 --> 01:46:02.340 and then you have a cleanse Ezreal and a Mikael's support, 01:46:02.340 --> 01:46:04.860 a very elusive team that Lion's become here. 01:46:04.860 --> 01:46:08.340 Very true, and of course the difficulty now is with Lion having three drakes already. 01:46:08.340 --> 01:46:13.140 They're very likely to get first set up on the fourth strike and you can see the picture perfect team fight for G2 01:46:13.140 --> 01:46:16.980 But you can see the bad version is the version we saw before when they're not grouped up when they can't get all of those 01:46:16.980 --> 01:46:22.580 Alties together hitting multiple members whereas lion they can play from multiple angles. They want those little flanks 01:46:22.580 --> 01:46:27.540 They want to split G2 up. They already did it once and if they do it one more time it means soul for them 01:46:28.020 --> 01:46:31.860 Because the next team fight carries so much 01:46:31.860 --> 01:46:38.960 much weight in this game. Yes, yes it does. G2, can they get their dream set up? 01:46:38.960 --> 01:46:43.420 The previous fight is anything but that. Their split on the inside route for the 01:46:43.420 --> 01:46:47.500 Ezreal Karma means everything and it was the perfect scenario for Lion to come 01:46:47.500 --> 01:46:51.820 out ahead. But as you say, if G2 can utilize their vision gaining tools to 01:46:51.820 --> 01:46:56.340 hotshot and approach how they want to actually construct their team fight, I 01:46:56.340 --> 01:47:00.700 think it could be a completely different story and me and Jack may end up crying. 01:47:00.700 --> 01:47:05.560 I mean it could happen you never know how these games are gonna end I'd say the game plan going in though 01:47:05.560 --> 01:47:11.600 Lion had to survive the top lane early and not give G2 advantages G2 didn't get the advantages from the mid and top 01:47:11.600 --> 01:47:14.680 But lion did get their damage from their bottom lane 01:47:14.680 --> 01:47:20.360 So in terms of like rich bets paid off for them lion won the bot lane bet and the Anivia 01:47:20.720 --> 01:47:24.680 Other an 11 CS lead and the one gank kill probably not the edge 01:47:24.680 --> 01:47:30.640 They wanted and really lion betting on themselves giving up meta power picks like the Orianna to prioritize their two 01:47:30.640 --> 01:47:34.640 2v2 winning bot, and it has paid off. Again, the Goldy just shrank a bit. It was 1k earlier 01:47:34.640 --> 01:47:38.080 on, but we're coming into this next drake. If anyone wants to go for early Baron, although 01:47:38.080 --> 01:47:41.240 I doubt that's going to happen. Next drake, two item powers fight for the Ezreal. You've 01:47:41.240 --> 01:47:45.520 heard us talk about this for like a gazillion years of League of Legends, but in this game, 01:47:45.520 --> 01:47:49.640 this is the strongest point for Berserker. He already had one good fight. So, as you 01:47:49.640 --> 01:47:53.960 highlighted, if G2 can get that perfect Wombo combo setup, they haven't imagined the fight. 01:47:53.960 --> 01:47:57.320 They get this vision, if they can fight for it. But if not, it's easy to see how it could 01:47:57.320 --> 01:47:58.320 all fall apart. 01:47:58.320 --> 01:48:02.420 Absolutely. As G2 has the item power spikes right now, though, two full items for Broken Blade, 01:48:02.420 --> 01:48:05.220 perhaps just completing his second item as well. 01:48:05.220 --> 01:48:08.020 So they are definitely stronger in terms of taking this vision, 01:48:08.020 --> 01:48:12.220 and Lion has to seed control, which is going to make it pretty difficult to get back. 01:48:12.220 --> 01:48:16.420 The strengths of these Ash Seraphine comps when they were really in vogue 01:48:16.420 --> 01:48:22.720 was, if they're first to a spot, it's really hard to walk in through the Seraphine poke and the Ash follows. 01:48:22.720 --> 01:48:23.420 Yep. 01:48:23.420 --> 01:48:28.380 Sink and collect the rest of the gold off the top side of the map pushing while G2 get this setup 01:48:28.380 --> 01:48:34.300 that you're looking at on your screen right there around the dragon and that is key as we said the setup for this fight 01:48:34.300 --> 01:48:38.500 Now that everybody is very very very close in power pretty 01:48:39.380 --> 01:48:43.140 Even if Sink he finishes second item after getting the rest of the gold from top 01:48:43.140 --> 01:48:45.700 Which I assume he's doing right now then there we go 01:48:45.700 --> 01:48:51.100 We're gonna be even Stevens basically going into this team fight and it is a lot about the setup 01:48:51.100 --> 01:48:55.560 So, now though with the reset from G2, they just invested all these control wards and 01:48:55.560 --> 01:48:59.020 looks very easy for Lyon to move in and just clean them out, just like that. 01:48:59.020 --> 01:49:02.520 Yeah, very nice of them, and then we had to go catch top, like pet peeve of mine. 01:49:02.520 --> 01:49:06.520 St. always builds this item on Silas, even when he's solo AP. 01:49:06.520 --> 01:49:09.520 He doesn't have the team benefit from Shred, but I just, I had to point it out, 01:49:09.520 --> 01:49:11.520 I don't think it's optimal, it is the same special. 01:49:11.520 --> 01:49:14.520 Good news for him is he gets a lot of other things from his team compositions. 01:49:14.520 --> 01:49:16.520 Now we're setting up for a trap in the jungle, LePros. 01:49:16.520 --> 01:49:20.020 Ooh, just barely, getting away from the wind becomes lightning. 01:49:20.020 --> 01:49:26.580 So we've opted for G2 probably on bot side to enter, but the crocodile and the brush here, I mean so far away 01:49:26.580 --> 01:49:29.780 I don't know if that matters. He could at least pressure someone 01:49:30.420 --> 01:49:35.940 If G2 decides to engage. He doesn't really do anything with these walking straight up. So Dope has to hold the flank 01:49:35.940 --> 01:49:40.820 Oh, man. He's got a good flank though battle herald. Oh, especially with scheme on running away 01:49:41.060 --> 01:49:41.860 Where's it going to go? 01:49:41.860 --> 01:49:45.060 Saint ready to come over the wall. Dope already to go from behind the seraphine being pinged out already 01:49:45.060 --> 01:49:47.060 He's just taking it for a lap baby 01:49:47.060 --> 01:49:56.060 Flap 2 perhaps? 3 gauge? Nope, gonna crash into the wall. Wall set up though, Crystalized a lot of ranks there already, but they spot Dokla on the side. They're trying to isolate him, trying to fight instantaneously. 01:49:56.060 --> 01:50:04.060 Fighting back to the choke point on the lion side of the river. Flaps from the brawl. Treasure looks like it's going to matter. Inspired, looking for far too long, but Skumont manages to peel off Dokla. 01:50:04.060 --> 01:50:14.060 4v4, support down for a top laner. Pokerblade stepping up. The flip going in favor of Skumont, safe burning down. Just barely able to escape through defiance from Isles, keeping him standing. 01:50:14.060 --> 01:50:18.620 Standing to circle on the front line but caps the one to walk forward the Orianna that they gave him 01:50:19.100 --> 01:50:26.340 Delivering kills for G2 absolutely clutched team fight by G2 and an even clutcher smite by 01:50:26.580 --> 01:50:29.340 Sku Maund if they give over the Hextech soldier 01:50:29.340 --> 01:50:35.400 They probably lose the fight on the back end, but they definitely went out there Kobe G2 01:50:35.900 --> 01:50:38.260 Defendant the critical moment of this game 01:50:38.260 --> 01:50:47.540 What could be the turning point of the entire game right there and LeBron with his dying breath even with this huge flank from Renekton 01:50:47.540 --> 01:50:54.540 He does get off his flash ulti and it buys a tiny bit of time then they focused on the Renekton 01:50:54.540 --> 01:50:56.260 They're able to turn the fight 01:50:56.260 --> 01:51:03.580 Berserker really wanted to a caps and he he swore they brought it to a caps that gives over an extra kill Draco's and your death ball 01:51:03.580 --> 01:51:06.640 Comp just bought a lot more time to scale 01:51:06.640 --> 01:51:07.820 It's looking nice 01:51:07.820 --> 01:51:11.180 And I think a big part of that is the gold lead in toppling does actually end up mattering 01:51:11.180 --> 01:51:14.460 Don't look doesn't have a second item completed if he has sterics in that fight 01:51:14.460 --> 01:51:22.120 It looks very different the additional tenacity that master shield this game really the tightest margin the littlest differences the R flash here 01:51:22.620 --> 01:51:24.840 That's on the plank, but let's see how it plays out 01:51:24.840 --> 01:51:26.380 I can see stage over on the left 01:51:26.380 --> 01:51:30.100 He's a little late to enter this fight, but it's really about whether or not they get the one shot off 01:51:30.100 --> 01:51:33.860 He lands it three man charm that buys crucial seconds 01:51:33.860 --> 01:51:40.040 Then they're able to focus out Doka and inspired the one criticism has been his sprites. Let's watch this one Kobe 01:51:40.180 --> 01:51:43.100 No, but you hear and yeah, and then it's just a fair smite 01:51:43.700 --> 01:51:48.200 To be able to try and finish it with all the extra damage thinking for sir guys 01:51:48.200 --> 01:51:54.340 We said you wanted to go for the egg you walked very aggressively towards Orianna zone right there and caps punishes nicely 01:51:54.340 --> 01:51:59.020 St. Couldn't re-enter the fight inspired had no ultimate everyone had to retreat berserker needed to let that one go 01:51:59.020 --> 01:52:05.620 And of course we did see the stolen Orianna ultimate immediately flashed away from it does mean that Han Sama is also going to be down a flash in the next fight 01:52:05.620 --> 01:52:10.820 We'll see how quickly these teams want to potentially contest a Baron is it's four members on the top side from lion 01:52:10.820 --> 01:52:14.180 Anyway, it talks about nights being a night being undefeated on Orianna 01:52:14.740 --> 01:52:18.780 Caps as well with a good record on Orianna right there. They did get his egg played 01:52:19.100 --> 01:52:24.760 Hey, go already gone. Yeah, they're looking for a full breakfast here on the top side down goes the bird for fried chicken for lion 01:52:24.760 --> 01:52:35.760 Let's see how aggressive they want to get here. They don't have an extremely fast Baron here, and Sink doesn't have a great ultimate yet, but Lion, if they start this, would likely look to turn to create a fight. Watch the Doku on the flank. 01:52:35.760 --> 01:52:43.760 Doku on the flank, hoping to bait G2 in. Knowing their man advantage should mean a net win, but again, the AOE alties from G2. Count how many members they hit, and you will know the fate of the fight. 01:52:43.760 --> 01:52:49.760 Their Baron is just so slow. This is so obviously a bait from them. Let's see if G2 is waiting for the fight. 01:52:49.760 --> 01:52:55.080 Okay, inspired is same movie and a little bit lower same on the flank should have access to the cataclysm if you wanted 01:52:55.080 --> 01:52:57.080 But taking his time to pick an option 01:52:57.920 --> 01:53:02.620 Does now grab a cap solo zoning go club the Baron is very very slow 01:53:02.620 --> 01:53:05.080 Yeah, they can't do this health bar is also just getting chipped away 01:53:05.080 --> 01:53:08.840 So G2 buying a lot of time very well not over playing into their hands is now 01:53:08.840 --> 01:53:12.680 Don't who's been caught on dominance on the side line looking for better re-engage on this Q month 01:53:12.680 --> 01:53:15.160 Hoping to split this fight is the 10 years a gauge from safe 01:53:15.160 --> 01:53:16.520 But now, we're probably holding that open. 01:53:16.520 --> 01:53:17.600 Hussama already definitely right now. 01:53:17.600 --> 01:53:19.200 Matter of fact, because the ball was there. 01:53:19.200 --> 01:53:21.480 Just in time, passed to Skumon, but Lyon, 01:53:21.480 --> 01:53:22.320 they don't hesitate. 01:53:22.320 --> 01:53:23.560 Isles on the chase for Skumon. 01:53:23.560 --> 01:53:25.880 Perhaps Lyon can turn back to the Baron. 01:53:25.880 --> 01:53:26.760 It's a scrappy exchange. 01:53:26.760 --> 01:53:27.760 Caps is still there. 01:53:27.760 --> 01:53:30.160 Hackskate keeping Skumon alive. 01:53:30.160 --> 01:53:31.600 Means there's no play left for Lyon. 01:53:31.600 --> 01:53:32.800 They're forced to back away. 01:53:32.800 --> 01:53:34.080 What an escape from Skumon. 01:53:34.080 --> 01:53:35.920 He flashes to break the tether, 01:53:35.920 --> 01:53:38.440 then goes all the way around to the Hackskate. 01:53:38.440 --> 01:53:39.400 Crazy fight. 01:53:39.400 --> 01:53:40.440 I need a shout out to Caps, though, 01:53:40.440 --> 01:53:41.480 because in the previous fight, 01:53:41.480 --> 01:53:44.200 he also zoned off the Silas in the flank. 01:53:44.200 --> 01:53:47.540 and this time around he found Oko for the flank, but here goes the big engage. 01:53:47.540 --> 01:53:51.300 Again, Seraphine Ultimate over two, but he got the immediate cleanse on the berserker from Isles, 01:53:51.300 --> 01:53:52.000 using the chaos. 01:53:52.000 --> 01:53:55.200 Skuman deletes him though, going in and assisting with the shockwave. 01:53:55.200 --> 01:53:58.200 And punishing the cooldowns from the last fight. 01:53:58.200 --> 01:54:02.000 Line doesn't win big, but you can see why there are such respected team fighters. 01:54:02.000 --> 01:54:06.400 No Aegon, Broken Blade at the start, no Flash on Han Sama when Sankos in to finish it, 01:54:06.400 --> 01:54:08.800 but I also want to shout out Skuman's team fighting. 01:54:08.800 --> 01:54:10.400 He's been exceptional this game. 01:54:11.360 --> 01:54:18.280 Certainly has and making the nice escape there using his flash to get around back to the hex gate 01:54:19.160 --> 01:54:22.880 Have to say giving over the Orianna to caps, you know a lot of people flamed 01:54:23.280 --> 01:54:25.080 Giving over the Orianna to night 01:54:25.080 --> 01:54:31.160 But caps the little things that he did again counting and marking those flankers the last time you saw 01:54:31.160 --> 01:54:37.200 I'm spacing saint and see not being able to get good old and being able to connect at the same time as dope was flanked was 01:54:37.200 --> 01:54:43.160 critical and then this time being able to start it out as well through the lane also very nice for where they started it 01:54:43.160 --> 01:54:46.920 But 30 seconds until the next Drake three full items for berserker 01:54:46.920 --> 01:54:53.560 He is at a massive power spike here, but G2 have the inside track to the river no flash quite yet 01:54:54.200 --> 01:54:57.120 One I'm cleansing the fight either so needs to play flawlessly 01:54:57.120 --> 01:55:02.120 Then the tails will be up shortly as well giving it a little bit more leeway to get aggressive to get up in the faces of G2 01:55:02.120 --> 01:55:07.120 But we've highlighted it so well. If you're to fight into this G2 competition, you see why this is a nightmare. 01:55:07.120 --> 01:55:10.120 Inspired, force to pull the trigger. Recognizing he has to go now. 01:55:10.120 --> 01:55:12.120 All of the isolating broken blades locked up by the Cataclysm. 01:55:12.120 --> 01:55:16.120 It's a flight from St. Flashaway's Miro, though it's Han Sama and Cap. 01:55:16.120 --> 01:55:18.120 Retreating, point away. Doke landed their backline though. 01:55:18.120 --> 01:55:21.120 He's gone! He's got! The follow-up is there! Cap's isolating the load. 01:55:21.120 --> 01:55:24.120 Hoping to find the command attack, but he times it wrong. 01:55:24.120 --> 01:55:27.120 He doesn't have the space, so St. Survives! 01:55:27.120 --> 01:55:30.120 And in the meantime, Preserker is dishing out damage! 01:55:30.120 --> 01:55:33.060 G2 on the rope, three members still standing though. 01:55:33.060 --> 01:55:34.160 It's an extended fight. 01:55:34.160 --> 01:55:36.000 St. Low has access to the healing, 01:55:36.000 --> 01:55:37.360 but he has to go in to get it. 01:55:37.360 --> 01:55:39.360 So instead, opting to recall. 01:55:39.360 --> 01:55:42.160 No TP available, means G2 desperate 01:55:42.160 --> 01:55:43.760 to get the Drake in the meantime. 01:55:43.760 --> 01:55:44.960 Flag over the wall. 01:55:44.960 --> 01:55:47.160 Don't look there, command protect. 01:55:47.160 --> 01:55:49.880 The dissonance to back up the additional movement speed. 01:55:49.880 --> 01:55:51.840 Both sides blinking health bars. 01:55:51.840 --> 01:55:53.960 St. doesn't have teleport, but it does have hex gates 01:55:53.960 --> 01:55:55.120 to try and return to the fight. 01:55:55.120 --> 01:55:58.240 If they keep the scramble going, what a scramble there. 01:55:58.240 --> 01:55:59.960 They found the engage onto Inspire, 01:55:59.960 --> 01:56:05.080 He says full set now and all of line attack to defend. It's pretty even for the setup 01:56:05.080 --> 01:56:08.020 And how long was that fight inspired died at the start? 01:56:08.020 --> 01:56:11.040 He's back taking the gates out again 01:56:11.260 --> 01:56:17.000 Who can remember the summer spells haunts no flash the broad no flash berserker no summers Drake started again 01:56:17.000 --> 01:56:17.900 Secret down for st 01:56:17.900 --> 01:56:22.920 As well buying our first to the play caps walking in but he's exposing himself vulnerability immediate control where to spot out 01:56:22.920 --> 01:56:27.000 Isles trying to get ready for the old coming in from safe, but there's no follow-up 01:56:27.000 --> 01:56:28.840 He's going to try to solo make the play happen. 01:56:28.840 --> 01:56:30.760 Steve Monk isolated the pit, forced to get out. 01:56:30.760 --> 01:56:31.700 They just want the soul. 01:56:31.700 --> 01:56:32.920 Instantaneous turn. 01:56:32.920 --> 01:56:33.720 They have to get it. 01:56:33.720 --> 01:56:34.920 Lion can take the fight. 01:56:34.920 --> 01:56:36.520 They most certainly get the soul. 01:56:36.520 --> 01:56:40.680 And now they're going to set the barge into the lion. 01:56:40.680 --> 01:56:42.480 Tearing them to pieces. 01:56:42.480 --> 01:56:45.640 Zay Zyliss is crazy with it. 01:56:45.640 --> 01:56:48.400 He goes in, he makes the play out of a profit lion. 01:56:48.400 --> 01:56:49.760 They're going to take the soul. 01:56:49.760 --> 01:56:52.280 They're going to take the Baron as well. 01:56:52.280 --> 01:56:54.840 Stacking advantages throughout the game. 01:56:54.840 --> 01:56:56.120 Picking a game one, Kobe. 01:56:56.120 --> 01:57:02.160 This is insane this team fighting from lion. Oh my goodness. It was so close to g2 01:57:02.720 --> 01:57:08.100 Constant fights back and forth pushing them the previous one was so even we're just a two kills each 01:57:08.420 --> 01:57:13.300 But this one critically means everything with the soul with the Baron with the map control 01:57:13.720 --> 01:57:17.220 G2 they need to go into damage control now 01:57:17.240 --> 01:57:23.200 They have to defend very safely your jungle income and at your towers 01:57:23.200 --> 01:57:27.720 I mean, this was crazy how much time Saint bought he gets the charm on the hodge 01:57:27.720 --> 01:57:32.000 But crucially pushes everyone on the fight to the left so the dope that is fired can push 01:57:32.000 --> 01:57:37.840 Schumann out of the pit and buy them time and then the craziest thing is they still have to re-engage after it 01:57:39.280 --> 01:57:45.420 Incredible stuff coming from the side of Lyon again the recognition to back away realizing Saint has bought you the space you need to 01:57:45.420 --> 01:57:47.420 Secure that objective uncontested 01:57:47.560 --> 01:57:50.960 Instantaneously turning on Schumann to make sure there is no chance for a 50-50 01:57:50.960 --> 01:57:55.340 It doesn't matter if Inspire's missed a few if the enemy jungler cannot participate in 01:57:55.340 --> 01:57:57.140 trying to take that objective. 01:57:57.140 --> 01:58:02.200 A massive fight from Doko as well, well highlighted, Jack, and the damage numbers are only going 01:58:02.200 --> 01:58:04.540 up for the side of Lyon now that they have the soul. 01:58:04.540 --> 01:58:09.620 Yeah, the fact that Saint escaped back to the dragon afterwards too was crazy after that 01:58:09.620 --> 01:58:10.620 commitment in. 01:58:10.620 --> 01:58:15.140 Yeah, because that was the ending fight, the beginning fight, like Saint basically won 01:58:15.140 --> 01:58:19.420 the two-ing to Kill Han's Sama, getting out of that initial fight with like 10% health, 01:58:19.420 --> 01:58:21.260 So he could base and take the hex gates out. 01:58:21.260 --> 01:58:22.020 It's all connected. 01:58:22.020 --> 01:58:24.100 I mean, look at the game this guy's been having. 01:58:24.100 --> 01:58:25.660 Lanes into capses. 01:58:25.660 --> 01:58:29.500 Undefeated in 2026, Orianna stays close enough, 01:58:29.500 --> 01:58:34.260 finds the skirmishes, is currently sitting 5-0-4 in this game one. 01:58:34.260 --> 01:58:36.060 Really good understanding of his own strength. 01:58:36.060 --> 01:58:37.340 The power of the upgraded kart track 01:58:37.340 --> 01:58:38.620 is well-buying him so much space. 01:58:38.620 --> 01:58:40.180 Remember, he didn't have seekers in the previous fight. 01:58:40.180 --> 01:58:40.700 He didn't have the money. 01:58:40.700 --> 01:58:42.180 Had to use it in the previous play. 01:58:42.180 --> 01:58:42.980 But now he does. 01:58:42.980 --> 01:58:44.900 Now he has the full hourglass available 01:58:44.900 --> 01:58:46.780 to try to threaten G2, to try to split them up 01:58:46.780 --> 01:58:49.180 so they can't get that perfect wombo combo that 01:58:49.180 --> 01:58:51.420 Now, it used to be a little optional. 01:58:51.420 --> 01:58:53.760 Now it is mandatory that these key ults connect 01:58:53.760 --> 01:58:55.900 on multiple members each and every single fight. 01:58:55.900 --> 01:58:58.580 Yeah, G2 now, again, going to damage control. 01:58:58.580 --> 01:59:01.100 Try and farm safely, keep your income up, 01:59:01.100 --> 01:59:03.620 try and play off a grouped team fight 01:59:03.620 --> 01:59:05.060 up front to back here, 01:59:05.060 --> 01:59:07.940 and make some use out of these key ultimates. 01:59:07.940 --> 01:59:11.060 If St. is gonna steal your Seraphine ult 01:59:11.060 --> 01:59:13.180 and then make the engage and make that much space 01:59:13.180 --> 01:59:15.140 before you're able to use your Ash 01:59:15.140 --> 01:59:18.180 and your Seraphine and your Jarvan and your frontline, 01:59:18.180 --> 01:59:21.440 then it completely defeats the purpose, all together. 01:59:21.440 --> 01:59:24.480 For Zerker, just completes Endless Hunger as well, 01:59:24.480 --> 01:59:27.440 so four full items on this Ezreal. 01:59:27.440 --> 01:59:29.880 313 CS, 10 CS per minute, 01:59:29.880 --> 01:59:31.480 one and a half thousand, Goldy over Hansama, 01:59:31.480 --> 01:59:34.720 and the Hextech Soul Ezreal poke is just absurd. 01:59:34.720 --> 01:59:36.360 Lion, especially with the Karma 01:59:36.360 --> 01:59:38.120 and the three pairs of Murk Dredgs, 01:59:38.120 --> 01:59:40.400 I don't feel like they're gonna go for a hard engage. 01:59:40.400 --> 01:59:42.760 They just need to bait and poke G2 01:59:42.760 --> 01:59:44.640 and then take the fight of G2, bring them. 01:59:44.640 --> 01:59:46.680 Exactly, it's the dream soul 01:59:46.680 --> 01:59:49.340 for this lion composition. 01:59:49.340 --> 01:59:51.740 They rolled quite nicely on that one. 01:59:51.740 --> 01:59:55.020 And so they're going to do the 3-1-1 split push here, 01:59:55.020 --> 01:59:56.540 just a slight variation, 01:59:56.540 --> 01:59:59.020 and keep St. on the bomb side with his teleport. 01:59:59.020 --> 02:00:01.900 Again, he's a level 16 stylist with his zoneas, 02:00:01.900 --> 02:00:04.780 huge playmaking potential, even without his flash. 02:00:04.780 --> 02:00:07.820 I mean, 1-3-1 or 3-1-1 is a little bit risky. 02:00:07.820 --> 02:00:09.820 A lot of teams, if you're up against a Nash, 02:00:09.820 --> 02:00:12.020 you'd want a more 4-1, but they're getting away with it 02:00:12.020 --> 02:00:14.380 for now, St. able to get the solo gold 02:00:14.380 --> 02:00:19.380 pretty much the entire turret. And now you can see Inspire joining the other four. 02:00:19.380 --> 02:00:20.380 I like this. 02:00:20.380 --> 02:00:24.380 4,000 gold demands on top of the soul as she too are of course back here 02:00:24.380 --> 02:00:26.380 shockwave on the Dope. I hope they can get a pick, but it's them 02:00:26.380 --> 02:00:29.380 they're kicking off a fight. Kat's isolated, ulti from LeBrav, good, 02:00:29.380 --> 02:00:31.380 but an immediate cleanse comes out from the Zercher. 02:00:31.380 --> 02:00:33.380 Dope will still have it walk away. Wins become enlightened, 02:00:33.380 --> 02:00:36.380 Skumann's in trouble. Just barely able to walk that one off. 02:00:36.380 --> 02:00:39.380 No true shot for Rage there, but now it's LeBrav getting sacrificed to the lands lion 02:00:39.380 --> 02:00:43.380 going for the throat, finding that single kill. Still a pressure on the bottom lane. 02:00:43.380 --> 02:00:45.900 broken blade trying again to make the difference Tp into the bottom lane as 02:00:45.900 --> 02:00:48.720 well but it's gonna cost them the inhibitor just to go for this play 02:00:48.720 --> 02:00:53.040 Saint looking to find a way out healing their extra 400 caps forced to flash 02:00:53.040 --> 02:00:56.160 back Saint two and a half seconds get space for his team to get out in the 02:00:56.160 --> 02:00:59.420 other play walks to go in nice side step from caps means a thousand gold 02:00:59.420 --> 02:01:06.160 shutdown that is a huge shutdown for the hope of Europe caps Orianna does get 02:01:06.160 --> 02:01:10.200 paid for the loss of their inhibitor and the only one they lost at that 02:01:10.200 --> 02:01:12.080 that inhibitor was LeBrov-Serafie. 02:01:12.080 --> 02:01:13.240 Yeah. 02:01:13.240 --> 02:01:16.080 That's a really good play by G2 to be able to have the one 02:01:16.080 --> 02:01:16.580 for one. 02:01:16.580 --> 02:01:18.520 I actually credit most of that to Brokenblade 02:01:18.520 --> 02:01:21.360 for trading so aggressively on the one for one 02:01:21.360 --> 02:01:23.200 as they're losing the fight on the other side, 02:01:23.200 --> 02:01:25.280 because that 1,100 gold is going to be 02:01:25.280 --> 02:01:26.560 usable at this elder fight. 02:01:26.560 --> 02:01:28.400 It's the window back into the game there. 02:01:28.400 --> 02:01:31.240 With the Anivia, they can likely push that wave out far enough 02:01:31.240 --> 02:01:33.720 to give them an opportunity to 5v5 at the elder. 02:01:33.720 --> 02:01:36.000 Skumog and Paps has a duo. 02:01:36.000 --> 02:01:38.120 The synergy when delivering shock waves 02:01:38.120 --> 02:01:41.460 have been incredible with it, in key moments. 02:01:41.460 --> 02:01:44.360 Let's see if they can fight their way out of a Hextech soul 02:01:44.360 --> 02:01:46.680 because even with that Hextech soul 02:01:46.680 --> 02:01:49.880 at the last inhibitor, he saw them trying to chase them down, 02:01:49.880 --> 02:01:52.960 not able to just finish off a few of those kills. 02:01:52.960 --> 02:01:55.000 Some fairly important cooldowns burned as well. 02:01:55.000 --> 02:01:58.280 No cleanse on Berserker, no flash on Inspired, 02:01:58.280 --> 02:02:00.480 although he does still sit on that GA. 02:02:00.480 --> 02:02:03.080 If Caps could somehow get to his death cap before that fight, 02:02:03.080 --> 02:02:04.760 it would be huge, but I don't know if he'll have the time. 02:02:04.760 --> 02:02:05.600 But it goes both ways. 02:02:05.600 --> 02:02:07.280 No flash for Caps, no flash for Han, 02:02:07.280 --> 02:02:10.840 Sama, Cap's having to respect even a low health St potential for him to re-engage 02:02:10.840 --> 02:02:14.320 He'll right back up with that W. So did flash in that previous play G2 02:02:15.200 --> 02:02:18.440 potentially gonna be forced into approaching from this choke point now 02:02:18.440 --> 02:02:23.360 It's gonna take a long time for lion even as strong as they are to kill an elder dragon with this mini 02:02:23.800 --> 02:02:27.520 Stacks in terms of drake's overall is now G2 ready for the 5v5 02:02:27.520 --> 02:02:30.320 Yeah, and lion's objective damage is not that fast if they get it low 02:02:30.320 --> 02:02:31.360 They're at risk of a steal 02:02:31.360 --> 02:02:35.720 So I think it's gonna be this coke war and I think it's very unlikely we get to a quick situation 02:02:35.720 --> 02:02:37.720 Who can fight who? 02:02:39.720 --> 02:02:43.720 Shift backwards, two shopperage across the team, ball holding to the back of the flanker, 02:02:43.720 --> 02:02:44.720 Sate instantly from behind. 02:02:44.720 --> 02:02:50.720 Shockwave to pull in two, continuing to dashboard, dismantling the backline of G2. 02:02:50.720 --> 02:02:52.720 And it's Big Dokes leading the charge. 02:02:52.720 --> 02:02:56.720 G2 wanted to contest the elder, and now they're getting knocked out of the game. 02:02:56.720 --> 02:03:03.720 Again, it's the Sate of North America, he finds the Flake and he shockwaves both G2 carries. 02:03:03.720 --> 02:03:09.960 State has played incredibly lion is gonna push it in for a game one win capsus 02:03:09.960 --> 02:03:14.880 Orianna we thought they might have doubted it but he dismantled it lion 02:03:14.880 --> 02:03:22.120 better in the fights better in the early game G2 sent reeling in game one is 02:03:22.120 --> 02:03:27.720 lion to strike the first blow in this best of five for the LCS and North 02:03:27.720 --> 02:03:33.920 America and all business for Lyon after game one that is a calm cool and 02:03:33.920 --> 02:03:36.680 collected team here to try and take care of business 02:03:36.680 --> 02:03:38.920 Yo Azeel! 02:03:38.920 --> 02:03:40.920 Lyon has your back buddy! 02:03:40.920 --> 02:03:47.400 No I can't say it was unexpected it was the result we all knew what was gonna 02:03:47.400 --> 02:03:52.640 happen I called it from the start I laid out the facts no one would listen to me 02:03:52.640 --> 02:03:56.440 though. Let's go. He was listening. He's pointing at me. 02:03:56.440 --> 02:04:01.840 Check us through the record show. I don't know the entire time, but I should not have 02:04:01.840 --> 02:04:08.680 because St. Silas is absolutely crack. Look at this Silas. Doctor, I'm going to have nightmares 02:04:08.680 --> 02:04:14.000 about this. Yeah, it's like the shot. And that was a saint as well. Like that was an 02:04:14.000 --> 02:04:19.760 insane combo. This might play out of his mind this game. And right off the bat, you said 02:04:19.760 --> 02:04:23.200 The same Silas is something to be feared here in this game. 02:04:23.200 --> 02:04:24.680 He popped up so much. 02:04:24.680 --> 02:04:28.280 As soon as he locked it in and draft, I was like, OK, first of all, 02:04:28.280 --> 02:04:30.080 it's just a good Silas angle. 02:04:30.080 --> 02:04:33.800 Second of all, he's 4-1 on this champion. 02:04:33.800 --> 02:04:37.760 He has a second most played all time in his career. 02:04:37.760 --> 02:04:41.280 He's so good on this pick. 02:04:41.280 --> 02:04:42.800 And I think it speaks volumes to him 02:04:42.800 --> 02:04:45.200 that he's winning to lock it in against Caps Orianna as well. 02:04:45.200 --> 02:04:48.640 Caps undefeated this year, 7-0 on the Orianna. 02:04:48.640 --> 02:04:54.380 There was a risk by Lion to leave it open, but that man in the mid lane played it so well to shut it down. 02:04:54.380 --> 02:04:59.640 Yeah, I would honestly say both the Lion and Soul lenders deserve a lot of credit for kind of withstanding these matchups. 02:04:59.640 --> 02:05:02.400 These melee versus ranged matchups, not getting that far behind. 02:05:02.640 --> 02:05:06.940 I was really questioning this Renekton pick because it was a last pitch. 02:05:06.940 --> 02:05:09.040 I think he was putting himself in a difficult matchup. 02:05:09.040 --> 02:05:12.740 BV got a really good level one and I was like, oh my god, this is about to get ugly. 02:05:12.740 --> 02:05:17.440 But he held him for such a long time, got BV out of mana, kept it in parody until he got ganked and killed. 02:05:17.440 --> 02:05:21.080 And I was kind of still wondering like is this even worth it if you're even you know there 02:05:21.080 --> 02:05:23.640 We thought maybe they were a gank it but they didn't but then in the team fights 02:05:23.880 --> 02:05:26.120 Dokla's positioning was really really good 02:05:26.120 --> 02:05:30.080 He was always pressuring the carries inspired and saying we're there to follow up 02:05:30.080 --> 02:05:33.640 But I feel like berserker was really showcasing some of his skills 02:05:33.640 --> 02:05:37.880 We've had a lot of questions about Isles on pike and Camille and this but I have no questions about this man 02:05:37.880 --> 02:05:40.680 If he's gonna be playing in Channiers and he played a very clean game 02:05:40.680 --> 02:05:44.560 And honestly, that's what made the difference here the fact that I was always let's spot the renekton 02:05:44.560 --> 02:05:59.560 Let's be careful about those lion team fight set up and Emily you are the ones highlighting them when they played against team secret wells the fact that they play methodical that they play super well around those objectives and they do it once again in our hyperX reflex replay. 02:05:59.560 --> 02:06:13.560 Yeah, I mean this is they were so patient and constantly stacking drakes right so they weren't seeding objectives this time they were controlling them and this was safe with the stolen seraphine ultimate. 02:06:13.560 --> 02:06:19.960 immediately get it then getting on to LeBron and I actually thought things were gonna get a little dicey here 02:06:19.960 --> 02:06:24.880 But it's Joklah who really really steps up and gets into the back line 02:06:24.880 --> 02:06:31.800 Yeah, I mean doclah really well and I have to say where zerk are popping off and far as far as the damage is concerned and aisles 02:06:32.640 --> 02:06:36.500 People always like to be one karma. All you're doing is shielding this guy was positioning so far forward 02:06:36.500 --> 02:06:42.300 He was always there with the mcales always there threatening with the tethers and people step too far forward to set up for berserker and 02:06:42.300 --> 02:06:45.420 and I was really, really impressed by their play. 02:06:45.420 --> 02:06:47.620 LeBron credit to him in that last fight. 02:06:47.620 --> 02:06:50.220 The R Flash that stolen Seraphino did catch Hans. 02:06:50.220 --> 02:06:52.180 And so he's got down, Mr. President. 02:06:52.180 --> 02:06:54.500 He actually blocks the absconded drop to save Hans. 02:06:54.500 --> 02:06:57.380 Otherwise, I think that fight is more one-sided. 02:06:57.380 --> 02:07:00.740 But Lyon definitely going to be feeling good about this first game. 02:07:00.740 --> 02:07:02.140 Dagdag, give me hopes here. 02:07:02.140 --> 02:07:04.620 If you're back stage, what are you looking at? 02:07:04.620 --> 02:07:06.980 Because looking at these drafts and the setup that they had, 02:07:06.980 --> 02:07:09.660 I thought they had easy buttons they could press. 02:07:09.660 --> 02:07:11.660 I felt the nerve in this game one. 02:07:11.660 --> 02:07:13.660 But what are we looking at here? 02:07:13.660 --> 02:07:15.660 Don't give us one minute! 02:07:15.660 --> 02:07:19.160 I don't! To be honest, look, I've seen Brooklyn Blade with you maybe before. 02:07:19.160 --> 02:07:22.660 I think it's been a bit scrappy. We saw it against Enpoys, where he kind of had a similar game. 02:07:22.660 --> 02:07:27.160 I think coming back into it, he seems moving away from the Silas, which is one of his best picks. 02:07:27.160 --> 02:07:31.160 I think we can still open up more, and if we can start to shift away from these enchantments in the bot lane, 02:07:31.160 --> 02:07:33.160 that's where you get the edge to the broad. 02:07:33.160 --> 02:07:37.160 I think there's a little bit of first game nerves. I think we'll be able to bring it back from here. 02:07:37.160 --> 02:07:40.160 You're not even saying anything, you're just going fast! 02:07:40.160 --> 02:07:44.920 The boys they proved it with the action space 02:07:48.120 --> 02:07:54.400 30 it's already wrong we don't talk about it what matters is the destination of the journey whatever the lion doesn't sleep tonight 02:07:54.400 --> 02:07:56.400 That's all I know 02:07:58.520 --> 02:08:01.400 They take it won't let's see what happens like I'm gonna find 02:09:10.160 --> 02:09:17.160 play in the correct lengths. The final event of the year is not to be missed. Esports Nations Cup 2026. 02:09:17.160 --> 02:09:20.160 See you in Riyadh. 02:10:10.160 --> 02:10:20.160 in 02:10:20.160 --> 02:10:27.440 in eSports legendary moments demand speed scale and soul players and fans 02:10:27.440 --> 02:10:33.520 bring the heart technology brings it to life every frame every stat every 02:10:33.520 --> 02:10:38.960 decisive play in partnership with League of Legends eSports we're driving 02:10:38.960 --> 02:10:44.560 digital innovation that empowers the eSports ecosystem to keep expanding so 02:10:44.560 --> 02:10:50.120 players can focus on the game and fans can focus on the moment 02:10:50.720 --> 02:10:58.360 Times like this are where star players shine and new legends step up where 02:10:58.360 --> 02:11:04.760 The legacies of built and dreams be the realized or ripped apart. 02:11:04.760 --> 02:11:06.760 He shall not die! 02:11:06.760 --> 02:11:10.760 You cannot stand the pain of a woman expected to win! 02:11:10.760 --> 02:11:12.760 You can't go back to the world! 02:11:12.760 --> 02:11:14.760 You can't get rid of your peace zone! 02:11:14.760 --> 02:11:16.760 You can't do yourself what you're going to do! 02:11:16.760 --> 02:11:18.760 You can't leave! 02:11:18.760 --> 02:11:20.760 You can't just destroy the Easter! 02:11:20.760 --> 02:11:22.760 When I was a player, 02:11:22.760 --> 02:11:24.760 if I was to make a misplay, 02:11:24.760 --> 02:11:26.760 maybe it's my mouse, 02:11:26.760 --> 02:11:29.760 If you were at home, you wouldn't do that. 02:11:29.760 --> 02:11:31.760 The Infinite Precision Armrest is part of the largest 02:11:31.760 --> 02:11:33.760 Euclid Lab on-stage standard initiative 02:11:33.760 --> 02:11:36.760 aimed to bring your home or training settings 02:11:36.760 --> 02:11:38.760 to the tournament stage. 02:11:38.760 --> 02:11:41.760 I think other players would want to set up more 02:11:41.760 --> 02:11:43.760 and play more comfortably. 02:11:43.760 --> 02:11:44.760 When you're comfortable, 02:11:44.760 --> 02:11:47.760 you get more powerful plays naturally. 02:11:56.760 --> 02:11:58.760 My God! 02:11:58.760 --> 02:12:00.760 Sanford State! 02:12:00.760 --> 02:12:02.760 My God! 02:12:02.760 --> 02:12:04.760 My God! 02:12:04.760 --> 02:12:06.760 My God! 02:12:10.760 --> 02:12:13.760 Red Bull gives you wings! 02:12:56.760 --> 02:12:58.760 I 02:13:06.320 --> 02:13:14.920 What's up, Paul think I figured it out Andre a way to go back 02:13:15.720 --> 02:13:17.720 Back where it's not where? 02:13:19.000 --> 02:13:24.760 It's when it's all right here.

This game one was well and truly insane, especially the around the mid lane. And now we're going to see if lion can replicate that success as we get ready for a game two and head into champion select powered by HyperX. Gentlemen, the nerves are out with the fear. The fear is alive and well for the European fans because that was an incredible game one from lion. 02:16:17.560 --> 02:16:24.640 Game 1 Andy Draco. I've been there as well. You know G2 they've already reversed swept at this very tournament 02:16:24.640 --> 02:16:31.600 And they're not even that far into this series anyway, so I expect some alterations from G2 especially for bottom lane 02:16:31.920 --> 02:16:35.640 It was a bit surprising to pick the asterifing into the Ezreal 02:16:36.240 --> 02:16:42.560 Karma and it certainly did not perform. I think you fans will probably already at this tournament start to have some seraphine 02:16:42.560 --> 02:16:48.240 Trauma whether it is Hans piloting it or whether it is LeBrov highlighting it 02:16:48.240 --> 02:16:51.480 So I do expect them to take some more proactive approach to this draft 02:16:51.480 --> 02:16:54.120 And I'll say I'm just never been more happy to see fearless. They can't pick it 02:16:54.120 --> 02:16:57.640 Yeah, we can move on we can pass that portion of this best of five 02:16:57.640 --> 02:17:05.680 I think there's a strong desire to see LeBrov on a playmaking champion that last game really was a slow bleed through the bottom lane and 02:17:05.680 --> 02:17:09.760 Then Saint and Doka found angles in teamfights 02:17:09.760 --> 02:17:12.780 So we'll see what direction they take here as it appears 02:17:13.340 --> 02:17:19.920 It's lying with the first ball bars of course a flex nice to have into broken blade and Han Sama 02:17:20.080 --> 02:17:23.040 Generically strong 2v2 bottom laner even after the hits 02:17:23.040 --> 02:17:25.600 But also has some really strong topside matchup 02:17:25.600 --> 02:17:30.600 So that's something that g2 are going to have to get ten with as they debate what their options are in this first rotation 02:17:30.600 --> 02:17:36.280 Do they want to prioritize that bot lane 2v2 more or will we see a continued priority on the topside picks? 02:17:36.280 --> 02:17:52.280 Yeah, and G2, like they can hold their counter pick really long here. Broken Blade has a lot of specialty stuff like Yasuo and such, so we'll see where the flexibility ends up on that Varus, and what sort of counter pick is going for, but we are going to get the Ziggs, the mage bottom lane now. 02:17:52.280 --> 02:17:54.280 Drake has hands on his head already. 02:17:54.280 --> 02:18:05.280 Look, there's been a lot of times since I've seen Hans play a mage, you know, I remember the Vladimir in 2018, I'm very nervous about the Ziggs, especially against Beserker, who's had some all-star performances on this pick. 02:18:05.280 --> 02:18:09.640 on this pick. That said, Zig's very powerful in the meta. 02:18:09.640 --> 02:18:11.440 On paper, if I turn the nameplate off, 02:18:11.440 --> 02:18:13.080 this is a fine first pick. 02:18:13.080 --> 02:18:16.000 I'm just nervous to see if the execution is going to be there 02:18:16.000 --> 02:18:17.400 for Hansama and LeBrov. 02:18:17.400 --> 02:18:19.680 And one of the biggest things about Mages to me 02:18:19.680 --> 02:18:21.080 is that they give your support, 02:18:21.080 --> 02:18:23.440 that playmaking opportunity that people are looking for 02:18:23.440 --> 02:18:24.680 for LeBrov. 02:18:24.680 --> 02:18:27.720 LeBrov, if you're looking at the entire tournament overall, 02:18:27.720 --> 02:18:29.640 has definitely outclassed Isles. 02:18:29.640 --> 02:18:33.040 And so him getting more time to roam with Anodilus here, 02:18:33.040 --> 02:18:35.120 you know, whatever Schumann decides to pick, 02:18:35.120 --> 02:18:40.680 pair with the Nautilus there could be just what G2 needed to get back into the series. 02:18:40.680 --> 02:18:45.560 And we need to remember that this is also G2, so they might flex that six to the mid. 02:18:45.560 --> 02:18:49.800 It was originally a mid lane champion. It's not guaranteed that this is Han's Sama. I 02:18:49.800 --> 02:18:53.720 think Lyon wouldn't be surprised by that either. They're the team that flex picks like crazy. 02:18:53.720 --> 02:18:56.880 We know for sure that that Ferris is top or bot. We know it's a flex pick. 02:18:56.880 --> 02:19:01.120 I will have to say, saying after every single G2 pick that it might be a flex pick qualifies 02:19:01.120 --> 02:19:04.160 you to be an LEC caster. It's like the number one thing that you have to hit every time 02:19:04.160 --> 02:19:05.760 Is it the Nautilus jungle? 02:19:05.760 --> 02:19:10.760 Nautilus made me shout out, Dwayne B, shout out whatever MSI it was that we all did that for a little while. 02:19:10.760 --> 02:19:16.460 But we send the debate here. We've already seen Lyona Vars, which if it is the QB2, is pretty powerful in the early lane. 02:19:16.460 --> 02:19:19.060 But the Lee Sin, a big, big playmaker for Inspire. 02:19:19.060 --> 02:19:26.860 It's a big power pick this tournament, but it's also a pick that I'd say fans of both of these teams don't love seeing their jungle run. 02:19:26.860 --> 02:19:29.560 Inspired, loves to be cool and calculated. 02:19:29.560 --> 02:19:34.720 I feel like Lee Sin is a champ that just has to take 50-50 skirmishes and outplay you 02:19:34.720 --> 02:19:37.240 in order to get into the band, and that's usually not an inspired game. 02:19:37.240 --> 02:19:41.440 Sku-Mun had a similar game on it as well, so we'll see what happens here. 02:19:41.440 --> 02:19:46.360 They also take the Casio, which was the mage counter that other people have been taking 02:19:46.360 --> 02:19:47.360 into the Ziggs. 02:19:47.360 --> 02:19:51.120 So those are technically two flexible champions, but it's very unlikely we see an AD bot outplay. 02:19:51.120 --> 02:19:54.200 Yeah, with two protection bans for the Casio as well. 02:19:54.200 --> 02:19:59.520 So they can just ban away the Syndra and follow up caps with extra protection here for the 02:19:59.520 --> 02:20:00.520 mid lane. 02:20:00.520 --> 02:20:01.520 Right now? 02:20:01.520 --> 02:20:05.440 Getting those extra mid lane man's out and I will say, the stats team was quick to correct 02:20:05.440 --> 02:20:06.440 me. 02:20:06.440 --> 02:20:10.300 I might be a doubter of the mages but on Ziggs at least, Hansama is 3-0, played it back 02:20:10.300 --> 02:20:12.640 in sometime in the early 2020s. 02:20:12.640 --> 02:20:17.160 It's not the 2018 Vladimir that I'm lamenting and looking at a stats page now about so a 02:20:17.160 --> 02:20:20.880 little bit more comfort there but with double AP as you've highlighted, we are looking to 02:20:20.880 --> 02:20:24.040 see a little bit more physical damage in the top lane setting us up for a potentially 02:20:24.040 --> 02:20:26.720 more volatile top lane 1v1. 02:20:26.720 --> 02:20:34.720 Alright, you get the Vayne out. That kind of opens it up for some other options of some blind picks as well. 02:20:34.720 --> 02:20:41.720 So definitely kind of hinting at the possibility of the bottom lane Verus getting a little stronger. 02:20:41.720 --> 02:20:49.720 Yeah, they need to find good AD damage in top jungle. Broken Blade has a lot of quirky picks here because the Vayne would have been more of the obvious ones. 02:20:49.720 --> 02:20:53.720 The Jace would have been more of an obvious one. Those are obviously banned away. 02:20:53.720 --> 02:20:57.400 And we still know that that bear is as a flex although seeing with what is available 02:20:57.400 --> 02:21:02.740 I'm expecting that bear is to go bottom lane into the ziggs. We'll just have to see how it plays out getting some 02:21:04.000 --> 02:21:06.440 Stressful hovers here that I think are entirely fake 02:21:06.880 --> 02:21:12.440 The poppy band away. I do like to see that does make a lot of sense up against the least in in Leona really shoots down their ability to 02:21:12.440 --> 02:21:20.200 Make anything happen. Should be an easy lock this in in this nonalysis of flex. No, no, it's an 80 jungle pick right here 02:21:20.200 --> 02:21:22.200 Sure, almost fast to go. 02:21:22.200 --> 02:21:24.200 Sure, sure, sure. 02:21:24.200 --> 02:21:26.200 It is, uh-oh. Yes, okay. 02:21:26.200 --> 02:21:29.200 Pantheon's a great pick. I mean, the Jarvan, the Xen are already gone, 02:21:29.200 --> 02:21:32.200 the Vy's band out, Kalisen's there. It's just another one of the Sundersky Jumbres. 02:21:32.200 --> 02:21:35.200 And it's not Camille, but it does give you a lot of the same immediate CC setup 02:21:35.200 --> 02:21:40.200 if Ziggs is in the proximity in the area, and it gives you another kind of semi-global long-range ability 02:21:40.200 --> 02:21:44.200 to maybe punish whatever side laners do come out from the side of Lyon. 02:21:44.200 --> 02:21:48.200 Exactly. You already have Ziggs, so you can join fights from pretty far away, 02:21:48.200 --> 02:21:56.460 Pantheon Ultimate as well, so lots of potential there for affecting side lanes very quickly and you already have very good wave clear as well 02:21:56.460 --> 02:22:02.120 If this Nars locked, I think Broken Blades Yasuo is an inevitability. That's just they're just okay with that matchup 02:22:02.120 --> 02:22:04.360 It feels like unless Broken Blade has something else called it 02:22:04.360 --> 02:22:11.020 It does point towards that direction and they were more worried about the vein as we were talking about so 02:22:11.280 --> 02:22:17.540 Let's see what they're gonna follow it up with some engage. They definitely do want some sort of playmaking here from Saint 02:22:17.540 --> 02:22:22.040 He definitely performs very well on champions with mobility, with dashes. 02:22:22.040 --> 02:22:25.840 Arya is one of his favorites, but he's also quite good on the control mages. 02:22:25.840 --> 02:22:28.840 And Victor vs. Casio, you have the laser range. 02:22:28.840 --> 02:22:33.540 You just want to farm it out and scale up to be a big powerhouse in the teamfights. 02:22:33.540 --> 02:22:36.240 And we have some flexibility here from the lion team comp overall. 02:22:36.240 --> 02:22:39.840 Varus can be powerful like in Victor that power, but still a lot of playmaking. 02:22:39.840 --> 02:22:46.540 Now, Yasuo, if it is locked in, a strong lane matchup, and we've seen BB get Dominic Doran, 02:22:46.540 --> 02:22:50.800 But if all of the potential counter picks Yasuo is a very sharp champion 02:22:50.800 --> 02:22:54.020 He does some things really well and some things really poorly so if anything goes wrong in this top side 02:22:54.140 --> 02:22:58.780 You're stuck with the Yasuo on the top lane, which is not a good vibe. It's not a good feeling 02:22:58.780 --> 02:23:00.780 He has to dominate high risk 02:23:00.900 --> 02:23:06.820 That's never stopped you two in the past Han saw my mages broken blade Yasuo, but they're ready to throw down 02:23:06.820 --> 02:23:11.580 I mean the most comfortable picks I see in this comp for G2 is the skumon pantheon and the LeBrov 02:23:12.340 --> 02:23:14.660 Nautilus they have very strong mid jungle 02:23:14.660 --> 02:23:17.060 They have a lot of playmaking from their support jungle, 02:23:17.060 --> 02:23:19.180 and I think that's how they're going to try and play this game. 02:23:19.180 --> 02:23:21.460 They do have some good knockups for a broken blade 02:23:21.460 --> 02:23:23.260 from the bottom lane, not just the Nautilus, 02:23:23.260 --> 02:23:25.420 but also the satchel charge. 02:23:25.420 --> 02:23:27.780 Deceptively good opportunities for them 02:23:27.780 --> 02:23:29.940 to set up broken blade later into the game too. 02:23:29.940 --> 02:23:32.740 And this counter pick is a good counter pick for a reason. 02:23:32.740 --> 02:23:35.140 You get to run down the minion line basically 02:23:35.140 --> 02:23:37.940 onto the mininar and try and force those plays, 02:23:37.940 --> 02:23:41.420 and you have a Pantheon jungle drake goes. 02:23:41.420 --> 02:23:43.260 Level six, he can ult in there. 02:23:43.260 --> 02:23:46.260 They can make that game guaranteed to happen. 02:23:46.260 --> 02:23:49.540 So, Dokla has to play very safe on that NAR. 02:23:49.540 --> 02:23:51.380 Luckily for Dokla, he's coming up a series. 02:23:51.380 --> 02:23:54.260 We had a huge Mega NAR game, 02:23:54.260 --> 02:23:57.140 and we'll see if he can stand up to the counter pick 02:23:57.140 --> 02:23:59.300 that they must have been looking at 02:23:59.300 --> 02:24:00.540 and knowing is coming, 02:24:00.540 --> 02:24:03.580 especially seeing so much of he already on G2, 02:24:03.580 --> 02:24:06.140 just playing right into this Yasuo. 02:24:06.140 --> 02:24:08.380 And he did in game one crucially. 02:24:08.380 --> 02:24:09.340 Now we head into game two, 02:24:09.340 --> 02:24:11.700 see if he can weather the storm once again. 02:24:11.700 --> 02:24:13.660 course, Renekton wasn't a counter pick, 02:24:13.660 --> 02:24:14.660 or was kind of a counter pick, 02:24:14.660 --> 02:24:15.660 but he was just supposed to survive. 02:24:15.660 --> 02:24:17.340 This time around, it's more of the hard counter, 02:24:17.340 --> 02:24:19.140 the Yasuo that comes out against the NAR, 02:24:19.140 --> 02:24:20.860 but if Doku can survive once more, 02:24:20.860 --> 02:24:22.660 doing something that Doran could not, 02:24:22.660 --> 02:24:24.980 it's an impressive feat and gives a ton of confidence 02:24:24.980 --> 02:24:25.940 for Lyon in this series. 02:24:25.940 --> 02:24:28.540 Yeah, you always honor your top laners 02:24:28.540 --> 02:24:31.700 that are going into an annoying range matchup. 02:24:31.700 --> 02:24:32.940 He didn't go that far down, 02:24:32.940 --> 02:24:35.740 and then he saw a big impact in those team fights 02:24:35.740 --> 02:24:38.100 at those dragons, getting into the mix of it. 02:24:38.100 --> 02:24:41.940 So, let's see, can G2 bounce back here? 02:24:41.940 --> 02:24:44.100 They have been rewarded previously here 02:24:44.100 --> 02:24:46.420 with the counter picks from Broken Blade, 02:24:46.420 --> 02:24:50.100 and Schumann on his Pantheon, could be huge. 02:24:50.100 --> 02:24:51.620 Another quick point I have on Dokla 02:24:51.620 --> 02:24:53.660 is he's almost the opposite archetype of player 02:24:53.660 --> 02:24:55.300 that usually get prioritized, 02:24:55.300 --> 02:24:57.420 like so many players that come in nowadays 02:24:57.420 --> 02:24:59.620 are just these incredible laners 02:24:59.620 --> 02:25:03.220 who then struggle to side lane and team fight effectively. 02:25:03.220 --> 02:25:05.340 But Dokla, to his own admission, 02:25:05.340 --> 02:25:07.380 is a very average laner in most situations, 02:25:07.380 --> 02:25:09.980 but he knows how to win the game. 02:25:09.980 --> 02:25:12.940 He plays side lanes well, he recovers in game well, 02:25:12.940 --> 02:25:13.980 and he team fights great. 02:25:13.980 --> 02:25:16.780 So I think that's why Lyon is okay saying, 02:25:16.780 --> 02:25:18.540 okay, we're gonna blind pick you, the NAR, 02:25:18.540 --> 02:25:19.740 we know the Yasuo is coming, 02:25:19.740 --> 02:25:21.220 even if you fall behind, you trust me. 02:25:21.220 --> 02:25:22.340 Yeah, and so you see there, 02:25:22.340 --> 02:25:24.340 Inspired is splitting the map because of the counter pick. 02:25:24.340 --> 02:25:28.300 So this is their choice to deal with the Yasuo counter pick. 02:25:28.300 --> 02:25:29.620 BB has information though, 02:25:29.620 --> 02:25:33.940 you saw that the ward from G2 was placed after the Lyon ward. 02:25:33.940 --> 02:25:37.300 So they saw it, plus they know that the ward, 02:25:37.300 --> 02:25:42.660 The other ward is there, and Broken Blade off that push, he is kind of hovering back. 02:25:42.660 --> 02:25:44.700 He kind of knows this is happening. 02:25:44.700 --> 02:25:45.700 He's a nervous man. 02:25:45.700 --> 02:25:48.660 And look, we saw the head-to-head between Inspired and Caps, a ton of history, domestically, 02:25:48.660 --> 02:25:49.660 a lot of best of ones. 02:25:49.660 --> 02:25:53.460 But in the best of fives, Inspired has the edge, courtesy of that 3-0 that we saw at 02:25:53.460 --> 02:25:55.220 MSI last year. 02:25:55.220 --> 02:25:58.140 And now Ile's getting things kicked off, extending the trade just a little bit. 02:25:58.140 --> 02:26:00.580 It's common for Berserker, so we know we will be seeing a bit more poke. 02:26:00.580 --> 02:26:02.580 Skimoan on the way, and Aegis is all for movement speed. 02:26:02.580 --> 02:26:03.580 Looking to lock up Berserker. 02:26:03.580 --> 02:26:04.580 Berserker, no cleanse. 02:26:04.580 --> 02:26:06.940 Importantly, Ile's trying to stop anything else from going down. 02:26:06.940 --> 02:26:09.980 The Flash isn't even going to save him. First blood for G2 Esport. 02:26:09.980 --> 02:26:13.540 Beautiful gank for G2 for Skumon with perfect information. 02:26:13.540 --> 02:26:16.540 They knew Inspire was up on the topside. Counter-jundling. 02:26:16.540 --> 02:26:18.540 So they had way to second out of it. 02:26:18.540 --> 02:26:21.040 3-0 tiles. TP back in. They're hoping to get a bit more. 02:26:21.040 --> 02:26:23.140 That's a slow TP. Empowered Spear is going to be there. 02:26:23.140 --> 02:26:26.140 That's a very slow TP. But now Inspire is hoping to find the double. 02:26:26.140 --> 02:26:29.440 Berserker on the way and they'll at least get one. Flash out from Skumon. 02:26:29.440 --> 02:26:30.940 Mind field to slow them down. 02:26:30.940 --> 02:26:33.040 If Skumon gets out, it's still a good trade. 02:26:33.040 --> 02:26:34.540 But if he doesn't, they're in trouble. 02:26:34.540 --> 02:26:36.640 Han's on the body blocking the Q. Going in. 02:26:36.640 --> 02:26:41.240 Skumann getting lower, the acres of salt up in the nick of time just barely makes it out. 02:26:41.240 --> 02:26:46.160 That's so huge for G2 right there. Hansama still has his TP as well. 02:26:46.160 --> 02:26:50.240 Almost a disaster for Lyme there as they attempt to extend the play 02:26:50.240 --> 02:26:52.640 because the beginning of that play was pretty poor. 02:26:52.640 --> 02:26:56.640 They know they're getting map split on and they take very aggressive 2v2 trades 02:26:56.640 --> 02:27:01.360 without combat summoner spells, so a good start for that G2 bot lane and Skumann. 02:27:01.360 --> 02:27:03.760 Hansama sent bot lane to catch the wave. Now it's the broad wandering in the mid, 02:27:03.760 --> 02:27:07.440 but inspired to your first 3v2 in the Gavir line. 02:27:07.440 --> 02:27:09.840 Does have the flash, wants to hook to the wall to escape, 02:27:09.840 --> 02:27:11.520 but Lyon are just going to respect it. 02:27:11.520 --> 02:27:13.720 Good read from Isles to be exactly where Labrov 02:27:13.720 --> 02:27:16.040 was setting up St. Now to push out this wave 02:27:16.040 --> 02:27:17.760 and an excellent sidestep on the hook. 02:27:17.760 --> 02:27:18.880 Yeah, so nice. 02:27:18.880 --> 02:27:20.800 Okay, so Scumont has a lot of options now, 02:27:20.800 --> 02:27:22.680 especially with Labrov still mid. 02:27:22.680 --> 02:27:25.520 I mean, it's only Isles giving St. the confidence here 02:27:25.520 --> 02:27:26.480 to stay in the mid. 02:27:26.480 --> 02:27:27.320 Inspired waiting over the wall, 02:27:27.320 --> 02:27:28.160 starting to walk towards red, 02:27:28.160 --> 02:27:29.640 immediately turns his attention elsewhere, 02:27:29.640 --> 02:27:30.720 trying to cover his mid laner, 02:27:30.720 --> 02:27:31.560 St. Getting lower and lower. 02:27:31.560 --> 02:27:32.400 Catches to be careful. 02:27:32.400 --> 02:27:33.240 Nice back step. 02:27:33.240 --> 02:27:35.240 I'm not sure if he spotted Inspire, but the man just hold on, 02:27:35.240 --> 02:27:37.240 forces the Flash out from Isles to a stake. 02:27:37.240 --> 02:27:39.240 G2 getting the better of Lyon in that brief exchange. 02:27:39.240 --> 02:27:41.240 And Inspire was finishing up the Raptors there, 02:27:41.240 --> 02:27:44.240 so he's in the area to save the play as well. 02:27:44.240 --> 02:27:46.240 And they get the Flashes out though. 02:27:46.240 --> 02:27:48.240 So both supports with no Flashes. 02:27:48.240 --> 02:27:50.240 Now, definitely very vulnerable, 02:27:50.240 --> 02:27:53.240 but we have to look at Scumon and how he continues this game. 02:27:53.240 --> 02:27:54.240 I do like that call. 02:27:54.240 --> 02:27:56.240 Go for the first blood on bottom side. 02:27:56.240 --> 02:27:58.240 Really get them snowballing. 02:27:58.240 --> 02:28:00.240 And it was just after the Braven Hunts, 02:28:00.240 --> 02:28:02.240 I'ma have gotten a great trade. 02:28:02.240 --> 02:28:08.160 hook combination into satchel charge combo into explosive bomb there from Hans and that 02:28:08.160 --> 02:28:09.760 is definitely what they want to see. 02:28:09.760 --> 02:28:11.520 And really accelerating the pace of this game. 02:28:11.520 --> 02:28:16.000 I mean at the time of that mid game, Schumann was at 12 CS, but he clearly impacted the map. 02:28:16.000 --> 02:28:20.560 He'd helped win the bot lane and didn't quite get St. Splash, but still managed to draw 02:28:20.560 --> 02:28:22.560 them a lot of pressure there. 02:28:22.560 --> 02:28:23.920 She too, doing what they can of course. 02:28:23.920 --> 02:28:28.200 Both supports leaving so much means a lot of solo XP for Berserker and Hansama. 02:28:28.200 --> 02:28:33.780 One of the nice things about the lethality varus is he uses level ups and skill points almost as well as mages do 02:28:33.780 --> 02:28:37.980 So normally we'd see a big discrepancy level 3 and Q for Han Samas a big damage bike 02:28:37.980 --> 02:28:40.120 It's not a big damage bike for a lot of 80 carries 02:28:40.120 --> 02:28:43.680 But it is for the varus with help which helps keep this push battle pretty close 02:28:44.760 --> 02:28:48.360 Yeah, as we see it directly in the middle of the lane and both 02:28:48.880 --> 02:28:53.960 Supports hovering on their brush because they know the jungler was gonna have a he got a shot on 02:28:53.960 --> 02:28:57.000 He's in the mega still though, it's fired on the way up. 02:28:57.000 --> 02:28:58.960 Skumon though, such a low health bar. 02:28:58.960 --> 02:29:00.440 And this means Lyon are taking the fight. 02:29:00.440 --> 02:29:02.360 Level six for Broca Blade hoping to get something back. 02:29:02.360 --> 02:29:04.600 Stacking the Q3 up, needs to lock up Dokla. 02:29:04.600 --> 02:29:05.640 He flies backwards. 02:29:05.640 --> 02:29:07.240 Broca Blade is nasty with it. 02:29:07.240 --> 02:29:08.240 Are you kidding me? 02:29:08.240 --> 02:29:11.040 Dokla though wants to turn it back, has the advantage. 02:29:11.040 --> 02:29:12.040 Broca Blade running for his life. 02:29:12.040 --> 02:29:13.840 He just can't dance around those autos. 02:29:13.840 --> 02:29:15.840 And it's Dokla who strikes back. 02:29:15.840 --> 02:29:18.240 The teleport was a bait. 02:29:18.240 --> 02:29:21.640 Dokla had just a bit of range left on the way. 02:29:21.640 --> 02:29:28.640 So, Tokla had just a bit of rage left on that Meganar that landed the CC to set up Inspired. 02:29:28.640 --> 02:29:34.640 That is one hell of a wallop on the arrival of the teleport, just the remnants of the Meganar coming in. 02:29:34.640 --> 02:29:39.640 And that surprised him a bit. Plus, the timing of Inspired was right there at the arrival. 02:29:39.640 --> 02:29:43.640 So, Tokla goes back as he's about to transform into Mega. 02:29:43.640 --> 02:29:48.640 And then look at the bar as it's ticking down, ticking down, coming back from the fountain. 02:29:48.640 --> 02:29:50.640 He still barely has the Mega. 02:29:50.640 --> 02:29:54.960 Look at the vision as well like now inspires and vision as they're already stunned 02:29:54.960 --> 02:29:58.880 So they're completely committed to the play they managed to shut him down early 02:29:58.880 --> 02:30:01.960 But credit to broken blade for turning this back into a one-for-one 02:30:01.960 --> 02:30:09.560 Yeah, clean from broken blade gets a combination onto inspired he went for the level six focus on the minions gets it gets the 02:30:10.560 --> 02:30:17.000 Another keep it at the wall is there though. Don't couldn't use all the previous fight broken. What's again? He has been broken 02:30:17.000 --> 02:30:24.800 Big dokes with the gnar, building on the gnar game that he had a couple of games ago. 02:30:24.800 --> 02:30:31.360 He was already down, broken blade had the kill from the last fight, now 2-0-1, no TP 02:30:31.360 --> 02:30:33.960 on the yaw so he's going to be able to shove that in and he's going to lose a whole another 02:30:33.960 --> 02:30:36.200 wave and try and snowball this gnar game. 02:30:36.200 --> 02:30:39.600 And for the second game in a row it's the counter pick, it's supposed to be the strong 02:30:39.600 --> 02:30:44.520 lane for broken blade and initially it looked alright but it is so quickly falling apart. 02:30:44.520 --> 02:30:49.320 Look at that XP chart, pulling further and further ahead, almost a full-level overbroken 02:30:49.320 --> 02:30:51.040 blade in that top lane 1v1. 02:30:51.040 --> 02:30:57.240 It is a bloodbath, North America versus Europe here, and they are throwing hands. 02:30:57.240 --> 02:31:01.480 Both junglers getting very active, and now you have Schumann level 6. 02:31:01.480 --> 02:31:03.600 Where is this Pantheon ult going to go? 02:31:03.600 --> 02:31:07.900 Everybody still has flashes basically online, safe for their support, of course, and mid 02:31:07.900 --> 02:31:08.900 lane is the battlefield. 02:31:08.900 --> 02:31:12.040 On that thought, I'm watching the replay, there's two fights happening at the same time, 02:31:12.040 --> 02:31:15.160 You can see the 1v1, but LeBron, now with backup from this jungler, wants to make this happen. 02:31:15.160 --> 02:31:17.920 Nice flyback coming from the same. Excellent mechanics from his pie against LeBron. 02:31:17.920 --> 02:31:20.420 Low, Ile's also on the way in, and now it's G2 on the retreat. 02:31:20.420 --> 02:31:22.560 TP coming in, Dokla on the side. 02:31:22.560 --> 02:31:27.800 All five of Lyon have arrived to the play, and G2 forced to run back to their own jungle. 02:31:27.800 --> 02:31:32.300 Nowhere left to go, it's the forest! Out of nowhere with the Steel Chair! 02:31:32.300 --> 02:31:38.000 Yeah, and even Berserker teleports mid and uses the flash with the ulti 02:31:38.000 --> 02:31:41.300 to help secure the extra kill lying in snowballing. 02:31:41.300 --> 02:31:49.560 Everyone on Lyon assembles in mid lane to make that happen 1.3 K is the advantage now 02:31:49.760 --> 02:31:56.260 All broken blade can get back is a single plate as inspired turns his sights on the grubs 02:31:57.060 --> 02:32:03.260 Everything going in the favor of Lyon broken blade has to be careful about stepping forward uncertain about how many members are still lurking on the top side of the map 02:32:03.260 --> 02:32:07.760 Isles starting and stopping that recall. We look back at this play g2 02:32:07.760 --> 02:32:12.600 over committing we're not ready for the response I mean this Victor all into the 02:32:12.600 --> 02:32:16.720 inspired kick just chunks them and buys enough time for the rest of wine to 02:32:16.720 --> 02:32:20.360 arrive yeah I was looking for a good angle for the caps ulti but inspired to 02:32:20.360 --> 02:32:24.440 the early kick and so that's it never really got a good you know angle for his 02:32:24.440 --> 02:32:27.920 old early on and then at this point it's just way too late because yeah they've 02:32:27.920 --> 02:32:33.320 already chased him down and so with the pantheon ultimate being used that we 02:32:33.320 --> 02:32:41.800 we were looking for, it is again going the way of Lyon with the early pressure. Dragon 02:32:41.800 --> 02:32:44.640 though for G2, they're going to be able to claim it this time around. 02:32:44.640 --> 02:32:50.240 Should be theirs as inspired, had to buy items, go back through his jungle and the lanes reset. 02:32:50.240 --> 02:32:55.880 So good job by G2 to still read the tempo of the game and know what they can take. 02:32:55.880 --> 02:32:59.240 This Lyon, building that gold advantage, something we've seen them do before, willing 02:32:59.240 --> 02:33:02.640 to sacrifice drakes, willing to sacrifice a lot of objectives just to get the gold in 02:33:02.640 --> 02:33:04.960 in their favor, often amounts in a lot of these stronger team 02:33:04.960 --> 02:33:05.160 bites. 02:33:05.160 --> 02:33:07.280 And you can see G2 have the idea of how they 02:33:07.280 --> 02:33:09.400 want to play their composition, but can't get all those cool 02:33:09.400 --> 02:33:10.200 downs synced. 02:33:10.200 --> 02:33:11.360 And if one of them goes around, they 02:33:11.360 --> 02:33:13.280 don't really have the damage to burst out that member. 02:33:13.280 --> 02:33:16.440 The extended plays is still very heavily favoring Lyon, 02:33:16.440 --> 02:33:18.840 especially until Cap gets that first item completed. 02:33:18.840 --> 02:33:21.200 The Casio damage just really not there. 02:33:21.200 --> 02:33:22.840 Yeah, everyone on Lyon does need 02:33:22.840 --> 02:33:26.280 to make sure to stay calm and play on the right timers. 02:33:26.280 --> 02:33:27.720 Just because a few fights went their way, 02:33:27.720 --> 02:33:30.040 it can just snap back, especially now 02:33:30.040 --> 02:33:32.040 that Doka has this 250 gold bounty. 02:33:32.040 --> 02:33:35.200 If he gets a little bit crazy, he can get shot down right away 02:33:35.200 --> 02:33:36.880 when he's in the middle, and you can even 02:33:36.880 --> 02:33:39.640 see that LeBron is right up there looking for a fight. 02:33:39.640 --> 02:33:40.600 No club out to go, Maga. 02:33:40.600 --> 02:33:42.960 Isles in the area though, inspired is also on the way. 02:33:42.960 --> 02:33:45.200 It's a disaster for G2. 02:33:45.200 --> 02:33:50.040 Everybody from Lyon is once again right where they need to be. 02:33:50.040 --> 02:33:53.160 Team play for Lyon and a Maga NAR. 02:33:53.160 --> 02:33:55.640 Drake goes, Maga NAR again. 02:33:55.640 --> 02:33:57.040 G2 decide to engage on it. 02:33:57.040 --> 02:33:58.760 Now Lyon following the play. 02:33:58.760 --> 02:33:59.840 What's done? 02:33:59.840 --> 02:34:03.800 Inspired to keep on take the same angle on the blast con scheme on still gonna throw a spear on the way out 02:34:03.800 --> 02:34:08.020 But it is a 2.5k gold lead game one felt bloodless until the late game 02:34:08.020 --> 02:34:09.380 There was not a lot of action 02:34:09.380 --> 02:34:14.000 But lion have upped the pace of this game and are looking even more dominant absolutely 02:34:14.000 --> 02:34:18.520 I feel like g2 are the first ones to go for that early gank and then since then lion has just been 02:34:19.020 --> 02:34:24.580 Matching the pace that g2 had early inspired now trying to get some of that experience back while pushing 02:34:24.580 --> 02:34:31.340 You went up the jungle to steal his red and the lion map play has just been exceptional with the way they've been moving around 02:34:32.380 --> 02:34:38.340 G2 I will say I do like zig scaling more than lethality Paris 02:34:38.340 --> 02:34:42.240 Yeah, now I have to leave that a virus has been nerfed just so many times 02:34:42.820 --> 02:34:48.020 We'll see if on some now getting his blackfire torch, you know on his first item here 02:34:48.260 --> 02:34:52.460 Can this zig's damage make one of those long follow-up plays and coin based gold grind? 02:34:52.460 --> 02:35:00.460 You can see 700 more gold just from kills for Doku with that 303 score already, 900 gold lead overall. 02:35:00.460 --> 02:35:03.460 Sometimes comfort is better than counterpicks again. 02:35:03.460 --> 02:35:06.460 G2 hopefully still have their head in this game. 02:35:06.460 --> 02:35:08.460 If not, they'll be thinking about that first play that went awry. 02:35:08.460 --> 02:35:10.460 The moment that that counterpick fell apart. 02:35:10.460 --> 02:35:13.460 They're still trying to get active on the map, but as they fall further and further behind in gold, 02:35:13.460 --> 02:35:16.460 the angles, the options get more and more limited. 02:35:16.460 --> 02:35:18.460 And their angles are looking towards mid right now. 02:35:18.460 --> 02:35:21.460 Everybody from G2 was hovering triple control wards from them. 02:35:21.460 --> 02:35:26.020 from them and St. smells it so much he's all the way back to the secondary 02:35:26.020 --> 02:35:29.980 tower until Isles gets here to help defend him on the timer there. 02:35:29.980 --> 02:35:35.740 Remaining control, I think Inspired's timing has been quite good this this game as 02:35:35.740 --> 02:35:40.600 well you know him going to follow up on these plays. Talk about timing as well 02:35:40.600 --> 02:35:44.380 like every second counting on that topside play when Megan are from Dohkla 02:35:44.380 --> 02:35:49.620 had just barely you know the last second of it expiring just as Inspired also 02:35:49.620 --> 02:35:51.900 to get there for that teleport return play. 02:35:51.900 --> 02:35:54.260 These small timings have really made big differences. 02:35:54.260 --> 02:35:56.540 I mean, there's so much trust involved in that play, right? 02:35:56.540 --> 02:35:58.500 That Dokla is very confident he'll go in on Mega 02:35:58.500 --> 02:36:00.540 because Inspired is spending all that time, 02:36:00.540 --> 02:36:01.980 and we know how much he cares about efficiency. 02:36:01.980 --> 02:36:03.180 I thought it was really interesting. 02:36:03.180 --> 02:36:06.780 We heard Inspired say that he really trusts his laners 02:36:06.780 --> 02:36:07.940 at this international event. 02:36:07.940 --> 02:36:09.500 He said last year on FlyQuest there were times, 02:36:09.500 --> 02:36:11.620 especially the team was kind of falling apart at Worlds, 02:36:11.620 --> 02:36:12.820 that every lane was on fire 02:36:12.820 --> 02:36:14.020 and he felt like he had to flip the game. 02:36:14.020 --> 02:36:16.900 But here, he feels like he can just make the right play. 02:36:16.900 --> 02:36:21.900 And we're seeing that calm play and that trust prove itself so far in this G2 series. 02:36:21.900 --> 02:36:24.900 That trust really paying off, because remember it was difficult for these laners 02:36:24.900 --> 02:36:26.900 at a lot of the earlier stages of this tournament. 02:36:26.900 --> 02:36:30.900 A lot of those early bestifies, but now they're sitting pretty incredibly comfortable in this game. 02:36:30.900 --> 02:36:32.900 Two, two level damage. A lot of play is going to contest. 02:36:32.900 --> 02:36:36.900 G3 ready to go for broken blade. Not going to get the angle! 02:36:36.900 --> 02:36:38.900 He's dizzy! He can do nothing! 02:36:38.900 --> 02:36:41.900 Big Dokes dunks him down once again! 02:36:41.900 --> 02:36:43.900 That's beautiful. That was perfect. 02:36:43.900 --> 02:36:49.820 perfect. Doka and inspired. Who cares about the wind wall? Another one for Dokes. 02:36:49.820 --> 02:36:57.500 Nice shoot there from inspired going in and broken blade down on this pick that has been focused so heavily. 02:36:58.140 --> 02:37:00.220 Another counter pick foiled. 02:37:01.980 --> 02:37:05.340 He's too big guys please. Take it please. Make it smaller. 02:37:06.380 --> 02:37:09.100 Dokes is too big. Please have mercy. 02:37:09.100 --> 02:37:14.100 It's because Broken Blade gains so much size from the T1 series, that Docla is just able to... 02:37:14.100 --> 02:37:16.600 It's an infinitely stacking buff, right? 02:37:16.600 --> 02:37:21.300 Yes, they're just going back, like Heartsteel, Mundo, Tank, Mk. Whatever. 02:37:21.300 --> 02:37:23.400 They both just keep getting larger. 02:37:23.400 --> 02:37:28.800 But unfortunately, Docla, very far ahead, looking like the much bigger Dokes on this particular one, 02:37:28.800 --> 02:37:31.000 is G2 still setting up these picks, looking for these angles. 02:37:31.000 --> 02:37:32.200 You guys highlighted it well in tracks. 02:37:32.200 --> 02:37:34.900 You have the Pantheon, you have LeBrav on the Nautilus. 02:37:34.900 --> 02:37:37.100 There is a world where you can find these quick picks, 02:37:37.100 --> 02:37:40.700 but it's really a credit to Lyon that they haven't given any of those angles to G2. 02:37:40.700 --> 02:37:43.660 Yeah, and I think if we think about the way this game will scale, 02:37:43.660 --> 02:37:49.100 Saints is actually a very important player in this game because it's very heavy physical damage for Lyon. 02:37:49.100 --> 02:37:55.260 So if we just forecast it out to late game, having strong AP damage would be very important 02:37:55.260 --> 02:37:59.820 in how G2 will able to kill him. But also, Lyon with this 3000 gold lead, 02:37:59.820 --> 02:38:02.140 I don't love that they're just giving over the second drake. 02:38:02.140 --> 02:38:05.180 They clearly have a lot of confidence in their ability to play with the gold lead, 02:38:05.180 --> 02:38:08.420 But G2, you should take those two drinks for sure. 02:38:08.420 --> 02:38:09.180 Happy to fight for it. 02:38:09.180 --> 02:38:11.300 I imagine the third drinks will receive a little bit more 02:38:11.300 --> 02:38:12.020 of a contest. 02:38:12.020 --> 02:38:12.520 Yep. 02:38:12.520 --> 02:38:13.900 And to your point earlier with Mountain Soul 02:38:13.900 --> 02:38:16.260 potentially on the board, even if G2 don't have a true tank, 02:38:16.260 --> 02:38:18.500 it will still be really valuable against that single AP 02:38:18.500 --> 02:38:21.020 threat, just to up those baseline resistances. 02:38:21.020 --> 02:38:23.500 Caps playing with a lot of respect to it. 02:38:23.500 --> 02:38:25.140 There's no semi-globles on the side of Lyon, 02:38:25.140 --> 02:38:27.020 but they've been so diligent in finding these moments, 02:38:27.020 --> 02:38:28.220 these opportunities that he's still just 02:38:28.220 --> 02:38:29.580 going to back away on the top side. 02:38:29.580 --> 02:38:32.140 I think it's just a hover play because they don't have eyes 02:38:32.140 --> 02:38:34.460 on the Pantheon, so they don't know if that's going to come in. 02:38:34.460 --> 02:38:37.480 So ensure that this Victor that you said is going to be so 02:38:37.480 --> 02:38:40.640 critical and 100% agree is going to be able to safely take 02:38:40.640 --> 02:38:43.360 the side. But I also really love what they did. They're giving 02:38:43.360 --> 02:38:46.040 the gold to Saints Victor like Doku was far enough ahead. He 02:38:46.040 --> 02:38:48.440 could have taken the first turn and continue to snowball, but 02:38:48.440 --> 02:38:51.280 they know like OK, the Victor is going to use the gold better 02:38:51.280 --> 02:38:54.200 than the NAR. So if they have the choice, let's give it to 02:38:54.200 --> 02:38:55.520 Saint and they did so. 02:38:56.760 --> 02:38:59.480 Really comfortable position for lion again. The third Drake really 02:38:59.480 --> 02:39:02.280 the only thing that feels like they have to contest everything 02:39:02.280 --> 02:39:07.080 Everything else they can take their time there in such a comfortable spot the plays that they've made on their own have been good the plays 02:39:07.080 --> 02:39:10.840 That they have punished for g2 when they've been overeager have also turned in their favor 02:39:10.840 --> 02:39:13.360 So with a 4k gold advantage with the Herald falling 02:39:13.880 --> 02:39:21.180 Uncontested lion setup to dominate in this midgame. It's on g2 to look for those little angles those tiny moments where they can pick off a key 02:39:21.180 --> 02:39:22.640 member on the side of lion 02:39:22.640 --> 02:39:28.580 Doka inspired saint all rocking those bounties on their heads potential targets for g2 to try and take down 02:39:28.580 --> 02:39:33.340 Yeah, I think they really should try and focus on a way to inhibit the income from 02:39:33.340 --> 02:39:37.820 St. Like if especially if they can if they can take him down take away his flash or 02:39:37.820 --> 02:39:41.580 something make it harder for him to farm. The victor the victor scaling 02:39:41.580 --> 02:39:47.380 definitely is paramount. Yeah, they're also not even pushing that aggressively yet. 02:39:47.380 --> 02:39:51.740 Lyon really just trying to play on the right timers. Jogla knows he can kind of 02:39:51.740 --> 02:39:55.860 zone broken blade off and even in the LCS Lyon would freeze more waves and kind of 02:39:55.860 --> 02:39:59.460 any other team. There'd be a lot of games where they would just intentionally 02:39:59.460 --> 02:40:03.820 slow the pace of the game down even if they had a goal to damage. So like you 02:40:03.820 --> 02:40:06.740 said earlier, Dracos, I really expect them to fight that third Drake, but they 02:40:06.740 --> 02:40:09.620 don't need to continue to make crazy plays because they're confident in their 02:40:09.620 --> 02:40:14.060 ability to win two fights. I'm happy to potentially expose G2 to risk by forcing 02:40:14.060 --> 02:40:16.380 them to come up and respond to these waves. You see Isle's already on the way 02:40:16.380 --> 02:40:20.460 down. If they can chip away at a few of those key cooldowns from G2, leverage 02:40:20.460 --> 02:40:22.860 some of the advantage they have to take a bit more space as they're doing now. 02:40:22.860 --> 02:40:26.060 Zenith player ready to go. Q flash forward. Inspired, looking for a bit of setup. 02:40:26.060 --> 02:40:29.060 Broken blade has to flash over the wall. Go broad, not able to do anything. 02:40:29.060 --> 02:40:34.060 It's the R-flash from Inspired! Again, the mechanics are too damn clean! 02:40:34.060 --> 02:40:38.060 I guess they can also just do that. So they're confident in that play, Inspired. 02:40:38.060 --> 02:40:41.560 I'm sorry, I wasn't familiar with your Lee Sin game. 02:40:41.560 --> 02:40:44.560 Where's the apology form, Chad? 02:40:44.560 --> 02:40:48.060 Ripped it out, I'll sign it, I'll give it my Social Security number, credit card number. 02:40:48.060 --> 02:40:52.060 Take what you want. I'll accept the fine. Inspired, you're popping off. 02:40:52.060 --> 02:40:59.020 Completely dominant that topside top jungle not often the story of Lyon we talked so much about berserker and inspired it was saint in the 02:40:59.020 --> 02:41:04.500 Previous game Bulkla credit for weathering the storm, but really it is the inspired and doklah show now here in game two 02:41:05.660 --> 02:41:11.100 For a big performance to take us to match point and so often we look back at these matches broken blade on the way 02:41:11.100 --> 02:41:14.580 And look at the stack to Q3 steam on ready to get kicked off of it was in response TP 02:41:14.580 --> 02:41:18.780 They get doklah's flash and I think that's the most they can hope for g2 just gonna back away 02:41:18.780 --> 02:41:24.840 Yeah, they really wanted that big bounty. That's 525 gold. So don't go just flashed away made sure that wasn't a disaster now 02:41:24.840 --> 02:41:27.340 They're trying to report you can hold this turret either. So g2 02:41:28.060 --> 02:41:29.220 tpn 02:41:29.220 --> 02:41:32.100 line commit their resources in response and now the tier one falls 02:41:33.780 --> 02:41:38.660 Sonic wave not going to turn into a resonating strike mind and body saying no on that one. I 02:41:39.300 --> 02:41:41.940 Will say at the very least as we have another game 02:41:41.940 --> 02:41:44.940 Meaning you have Altie to get the Flash out of Han's 2. 02:41:44.940 --> 02:41:46.940 Everything is going in the favor of Lyon. 02:41:46.940 --> 02:41:50.940 I just don't know if G2 are going to be able to contest with all these summoners and Alties just getting chipped away at. 02:41:50.940 --> 02:41:52.940 Both teams have the same idea. 02:41:52.940 --> 02:41:55.940 With the Dragon, you know, it was about a minute and 20 seconds away at the time. 02:41:55.940 --> 02:41:58.940 G2 say, hey, we're going to go for the Flash off of Dokla. 02:41:58.940 --> 02:42:02.940 We need to get this Flash away from Meganar so he doesn't destroy us in the fight. 02:42:02.940 --> 02:42:06.940 They do that, but then Isle's also finding the Flash here now off of Han's Sama. 02:42:06.940 --> 02:42:12.700 and the approach for Lyon to this Drake is already lit up with that vision. 02:42:12.700 --> 02:42:18.100 It's so important for G2 to be mentally strong in this situation. 02:42:18.100 --> 02:42:22.180 This has to be so frustrating. All the early plays you tried to make did not work out. 02:42:22.180 --> 02:42:27.380 Your counter pick is not working out and we've seen so many NA versus EU 3-0s. 02:42:27.380 --> 02:42:30.180 G2 do not want to add their name to that list any further. 02:42:30.180 --> 02:42:34.180 It happened once with FlyQuest and the momentum in favor of Lyon right now 02:42:34.180 --> 02:42:36.680 seems just a little unstoppable. 02:42:36.680 --> 02:42:39.980 Kobe, would there be a reason that the Rob is just sitting on an 02:42:39.980 --> 02:42:41.880 unupgraded support world atlas? 02:42:41.880 --> 02:42:43.380 Because he's had it for a while. 02:42:44.380 --> 02:42:45.680 There's not some tech. 02:42:46.180 --> 02:42:49.980 Because, so this happened, like sometimes when you're really locked into something 02:42:49.980 --> 02:42:52.580 or maybe you're a little tilted, you'll forget to do something like this. 02:42:52.580 --> 02:42:53.780 But okay, he finally upgraded it. 02:42:53.780 --> 02:42:55.980 He sat on it for about a minute, 02:42:55.980 --> 02:42:58.880 which was just a little peculiar, but it's completed now, no worries. 02:42:58.880 --> 02:43:01.580 Alright, he is going to have that blood song. 02:43:01.580 --> 02:43:03.980 is going to add that little bit of extra burst image. 02:43:03.980 --> 02:43:05.420 And maybe that does make the difference, 02:43:05.420 --> 02:43:06.980 because Draco, as we keep on, we've 02:43:06.980 --> 02:43:09.140 been looking from the very beginning with this comp. 02:43:09.140 --> 02:43:11.460 Are they going to get one of these bursty plays? 02:43:11.460 --> 02:43:13.820 And they are congregating around the top side of the map. 02:43:13.820 --> 02:43:15.740 So they're thinking that Lion is taking dragon, 02:43:15.740 --> 02:43:19.060 but Lion actually up here kind of answering it. 02:43:19.060 --> 02:43:22.060 Saint does not have teleports, though, 02:43:22.060 --> 02:43:24.340 and he is showing bottom lane. 02:43:24.340 --> 02:43:25.620 She too. 02:43:25.620 --> 02:43:28.020 Ready to potentially commit more members to the play, 02:43:28.020 --> 02:43:30.780 but Doku not stepping up, not taking any trades, 02:43:30.780 --> 02:43:33.380 even if he's ahead of caps in terms of gold doesn't want to take the risk and 02:43:33.380 --> 02:43:35.240 now lion instead turning towards the mid lane. 02:43:35.240 --> 02:43:38.580 Yeah lion is trying to make sure that their efficiency stays high don't want 02:43:38.580 --> 02:43:43.480 to give an easy crop cross map play to g2 so saint ends up pushing that wave 02:43:43.480 --> 02:43:47.380 out basing once again and now they will go to take this. 02:43:49.380 --> 02:43:53.680 Fired already starting it Baron has spawned as well lion with a 6k gold lead 02:43:53.680 --> 02:43:58.080 taking their sweet time this is the lion comfort zone no pressure on them to do 02:43:58.080 --> 02:44:04.000 Anything on the map looking for little advantages chipping away slowly at g2 in this game 02:44:04.360 --> 02:44:10.560 Continuing to extend that goal leads now denying sole point from g2 is Hans does what he can to use that ulti and just clear out 02:44:10.560 --> 02:44:14.360 Some of these waves stop some of the pressure coming out of this lion lineup 02:44:14.520 --> 02:44:21.100 Yeah, even invading the jungle lion now trying to take over the safe pathways of rotation between objectives 02:44:21.880 --> 02:44:23.880 dragon taken away and 02:44:24.240 --> 02:44:25.320 mid lane 02:44:25.320 --> 02:44:31.640 Looks like it's gonna be the next target here. It's already so low that it's a pretty much one shot 02:44:31.640 --> 02:44:37.320 And that's the last of your outer defenses now down for G2. Good spike. 02:44:43.320 --> 02:44:47.320 The solar flare doesn't bit of work, but now it's Doku's locked up about to turn mini caps on the chase 02:44:47.320 --> 02:44:50.320 Do you know this is their window to try to force a greater advantage? 02:44:50.320 --> 02:44:54.160 Broke a blade on the side, but there's no one there to alley you but no one there to set up the knockup 02:44:54.160 --> 02:44:59.920 So they're forced to back away happy to have that shutdown really smart smite there by skumon 02:45:00.120 --> 02:45:06.000 Trapping the least in under the turret does not let inspired even flash away. They'll get that bouncy a straight one for me 02:45:06.000 --> 02:45:11.240 That's way more gold in the favor of G2 and they try they were looking to make more out of it 02:45:11.240 --> 02:45:13.720 You know rotating broken blade over trying to get the chase down 02:45:14.040 --> 02:45:19.260 But they will be happy at the very least to get this shutdown. So here it is going in there are only a 02:45:19.260 --> 02:45:27.520 756 health so scum on one shot there out and then they go into the CC chain to take down inspired and get the shut down 02:45:28.060 --> 02:45:33.260 Onto that ziggs which does scale well and continues to be able to clear waves 02:45:33.260 --> 02:45:38.940 It's always difficult to end the games into a zig so even if we may not be super confident in Hans Thomas mage play 02:45:38.940 --> 02:45:43.700 He can definitely make this game last a while bot lane ziggs the other thing about mage's bottom lane 02:45:43.700 --> 02:45:48.380 You get more gold and you get an extra item space in that death cap being so close 02:45:48.380 --> 02:45:55.460 does spell a comeback avenue and that multiplier on the AP means that extra 02:45:55.460 --> 02:45:59.380 item means even more than it might for an AD carry IE the equivalent multiplier 02:45:59.380 --> 02:46:03.700 but you get capped at 100% crit right so need to see if Hans-Ama can get there 02:46:03.700 --> 02:46:07.340 it's a tall task but hey if you have to stall a game you highlighted it well 02:46:07.340 --> 02:46:11.300 yet a control mage is pretty much the best way to do it they'll still have the 02:46:11.300 --> 02:46:17.300 pick potential from the Pantheon Yasuo and Nautilus but line is still gonna be 02:46:17.300 --> 02:46:21.000 pretty comfortable with their position in the game. We just got to see if they're able to close it. 02:46:21.000 --> 02:46:27.300 The early drakes that G2 was able to secure, just make sure that the game can go quite late. 02:46:27.300 --> 02:46:31.300 They have the wave clear, and then they're also greatly delaying the potential soul from Lyon. 02:46:31.300 --> 02:46:33.800 So Lyon's going to have to play very well because this went out. 02:46:33.800 --> 02:46:40.300 Yeah, and I think their biggest tool is going to be these side lanes with Dokuha having this nice advantage over Broken Blade. 02:46:40.300 --> 02:46:49.180 Of course, with all the focus that inspired and the rest of Lion have taken towards this Yasuo counterpicking, keeping Broken Blade down, 02:46:49.180 --> 02:46:52.900 does make those side lanes for G2 a lot more difficult to play. 02:46:52.900 --> 02:46:53.500 Tokla. 02:46:54.700 --> 02:46:55.300 Look through. 02:46:55.300 --> 02:46:56.100 On the wall up, yeah. 02:46:56.700 --> 02:46:57.700 All pop there. 02:46:58.700 --> 02:47:02.100 Now he's going to get some plates, Wave immediately going to get deleted, that's the Solar Flare. 02:47:02.100 --> 02:47:07.100 Skiumon waiting for a bit more time, hasn't been able to pop the Aegis Assault, can block some of the fall off damage now, the wind wall there as well. 02:47:07.100 --> 02:47:12.400 So this is all during the swoop was for caps. Caps is getting gold for G2 on the other side of the map. 02:47:12.400 --> 02:47:16.660 They're playing three lanes at this time while Lion only playing the two. 02:47:18.180 --> 02:47:23.440 Rob fishing. They'd be hoping to catch someone on a sloppy recall again. Lion very much grouped up. 02:47:23.440 --> 02:47:29.720 You highlighted it well. Mid lane the main focus moving up now towards caps or at least maybe just trying to control Baron vision. 02:47:29.720 --> 02:47:33.960 With a cast here on the enemy team, a rapid Baron always has to be taken into account. 02:47:33.960 --> 02:47:49.960 And I really like the way G2 has been able to stall this game out, and you know, even if the gold has stayed at 4,000, the percentage of the gold difference decreases as every CS is acquired by G2, so they're not that far behind in items when we do see a fight. 02:47:49.960 --> 02:47:58.960 I mean, looking at Cap's completed Saras, the upgraded Mercury treads, he's going to be able to pump out a good amount of sustained damage if G2 decides to find a fight. 02:47:58.960 --> 02:48:03.400 Again, the Ziggs with the multiplier with the death cap done, you take that any day over 02:48:03.400 --> 02:48:08.600 these nerfed Varus, you know, damage here that you do have as a comparison, even with 02:48:08.600 --> 02:48:11.440 the spell shield here picked up for berserker. 02:48:11.440 --> 02:48:15.640 You can also say if you find really good value out of the CC of the Varus ultimate, sometimes 02:48:15.640 --> 02:48:18.440 that can really change teamfights there too. 02:48:18.440 --> 02:48:23.640 So it's not a one to one as far as just comparing the damages, but we'll see at the approach 02:48:23.640 --> 02:48:27.400 to the next fight if they're able to get some poke damage done as well. 02:48:27.400 --> 02:48:32.280 Of course, max rank, you know, face damage, still okay on that Varus Q, but as you get 02:48:32.280 --> 02:48:34.840 later it is the bonus AD scaling that was hit. 02:48:34.840 --> 02:48:39.600 Full charge used to be 150% of that bonus AD, now it's only 120. 02:48:39.600 --> 02:48:41.740 And those numbers start to add up an extended fight. 02:48:41.740 --> 02:48:45.760 So often without, Varus is kind of determined if you can hit those abilities or not. 02:48:45.760 --> 02:48:50.160 Handguk coming down under Berserker, immediate ghostblade to take him away. 02:48:50.160 --> 02:48:53.080 Saint now following, they're looking for a disengagement, Ios is recommitted to the 02:48:53.080 --> 02:48:54.080 fight. 02:48:54.080 --> 02:48:55.080 My eyes are there to stop him getting out. 02:48:55.080 --> 02:48:56.760 Broken blade up on the side, trying to make a difference. 02:48:56.760 --> 02:48:58.160 to stop any potential follow-up. 02:48:58.160 --> 02:48:59.320 Now he will retreat as well. 02:48:59.320 --> 02:49:00.800 An excellent pick for G2. 02:49:00.800 --> 02:49:02.080 Down goes Isles. 02:49:02.080 --> 02:49:03.160 The broken blade injured. 02:49:03.160 --> 02:49:04.480 And that's what the Drake up right now. 02:49:04.480 --> 02:49:05.800 So I feel like Lyon is potentially 02:49:05.800 --> 02:49:06.720 going to have to concede this. 02:49:06.720 --> 02:49:09.520 St. Anne Berserker could teleport back in. 02:49:09.520 --> 02:49:11.160 Now the Inspired is here. 02:49:11.160 --> 02:49:12.480 And Doku about to hit Mega. 02:49:12.480 --> 02:49:13.880 Doku about to hit Mega. 02:49:13.880 --> 02:49:14.720 Pooked in. 02:49:14.720 --> 02:49:15.560 Wall up there. 02:49:15.560 --> 02:49:16.560 He's trying to make his way out. 02:49:16.560 --> 02:49:18.960 They're trying to burn him down so he can't get the ulti. 02:49:18.960 --> 02:49:19.720 Doku being low. 02:49:19.720 --> 02:49:21.120 The Mega going to fade away. 02:49:21.120 --> 02:49:22.880 Lyon, it looks like going to back off of this one. 02:49:22.880 --> 02:49:23.600 Willing to concede. 02:49:23.600 --> 02:49:25.400 Soulpoint, they don't want to risk the fight. 02:49:25.400 --> 02:49:28.440 G2, huge fast play for them. 02:49:28.440 --> 02:49:30.720 They get the pick, they see them in the river, 02:49:30.720 --> 02:49:33.160 they do not hesitate, 02:49:33.160 --> 02:49:35.640 and they get themselves a dragon soul point 02:49:35.640 --> 02:49:39.800 that Mountain Soul, Dracos, is ever so close. 02:49:39.800 --> 02:49:41.920 This is just so well done by G2 02:49:41.920 --> 02:49:45.240 using the Pantheon Ultimate to create the numbers advantage. 02:49:45.240 --> 02:49:48.600 And after St. Flash, the way that means Ios is trapped in here, 02:49:48.600 --> 02:49:51.200 does decide to go back in potentially, 02:49:51.200 --> 02:49:52.040 should have flashed away, 02:49:52.040 --> 02:49:54.600 because this is the numbers advantage the entire time for G2. 02:49:54.600 --> 02:49:59.480 Exactly, it's all because Inspired was up on the top side of the map for the Leafs in there, so he was never there in G2. 02:49:59.480 --> 02:50:04.360 They choose their moments. They're teleporting in at the same time as the Pantheon Ultimate. 02:50:04.360 --> 02:50:10.600 They go for the lockup and calmly get themselves to their wink on here. 02:50:10.600 --> 02:50:13.320 Mountain Soul on the table, getting tense. 02:50:13.320 --> 02:50:18.880 That should give G2 a lot of confidence with Soulpoint, and just the way that extended fight went. 02:50:18.880 --> 02:50:23.160 They got the Flash out of Dekla, they got the Flash out of Saint, they got the Flash out of Isle. 02:50:23.160 --> 02:50:27.160 So now if they land another hook or if Scumon uses his next ult and a timer, 02:50:27.160 --> 02:50:30.960 maybe they can get that one shot on an important player. 02:50:30.960 --> 02:50:35.160 And as we said before, the item gap is kind of non-existent in this game. 02:50:35.160 --> 02:50:37.660 Yeah, and I think their dream is to one shot same. 02:50:37.660 --> 02:50:42.460 The victor here with no flash or the flash out of the river in the previous one. 02:50:42.460 --> 02:50:46.860 And with a lot of the flash advantages to the side of G2, 02:50:46.860 --> 02:50:51.260 they have a lot of playmaking, but there's still a decent amount of time till that dragon. 02:50:51.260 --> 02:50:59.780 So there is time to work with to try and make side lane picks and try and use a pantheon ultimate and see if you can fish around for a little bit more before the full commit. 02:51:01.460 --> 02:51:09.900 Very playable situation now for G2B sports again, respect still has to be paid to inspired in Doku finishing up that third item that G4 inspired. 02:51:09.900 --> 02:51:19.380 The previous play you highlighted it well right the reason it works out is Doku doesn't get to have that dream gnar moment where you're knocking four people into the wall and that's what can happen if G2 get to start a fight on their terms. 02:51:19.380 --> 02:51:27.380 But again, with a lot of these side lane threats, with how powerful Dokla is now, it's difficult for G2 to find those angles without use of that Pantheon Ultimate. 02:51:27.380 --> 02:51:35.380 Yeah, it's very scary as far as the pick potential. And when you position your zigs in mid lane here for Hansama, he's level 16 now, 02:51:35.380 --> 02:51:42.380 and the ultimate is all that you need to add on top of any of the CC from the Nautilus from the Pantheon. 02:51:42.380 --> 02:51:47.380 So you can see Lyon are grouping together, trying to move cautiously around that mid lane. 02:51:47.380 --> 02:51:53.220 They know the potential with all that vision control set up for G2. It is very dangerous 02:51:53.220 --> 02:51:58.500 I mean line has to overload the mid lane just to make something happen to be able to move into the jungle right now 02:51:58.500 --> 02:52:02.140 So they've even lost vision on the baron area. This game is feeling more and more 02:52:02.820 --> 02:52:07.660 Like an even game just by the way the map is moving and kind of ignoring what we see on the goal 02:52:08.940 --> 02:52:12.900 I'm doing what they can to hold on to mid-prior but again just the two minutes and tell this 02:52:12.900 --> 02:52:16.740 Soul potential soul for G2 will spawn. 02:52:16.740 --> 02:52:19.060 Detention continues to grow as neither team feels like they're in a good spot. 02:52:19.060 --> 02:52:21.580 Forced to baron, but now Pantheon heading bot, and Dokla running for his life. 02:52:21.580 --> 02:52:22.940 Inspired, just reset. 02:52:22.940 --> 02:52:25.900 A tiny window now for G2 as the Mega Inferno bomb is laid down on top. 02:52:25.900 --> 02:52:26.860 Dokla running for his life. 02:52:26.860 --> 02:52:29.700 Slazbo there, now wants to turn it with the Mega Knar, hits the wall up on the one. 02:52:29.700 --> 02:52:33.300 Hoping to find the Knar, but only connects onto two, and down goes Dokla. 02:52:33.300 --> 02:52:34.900 The shutdown for Caps. 02:52:34.900 --> 02:52:36.700 The side lane pick that they were looking for. 02:52:36.700 --> 02:52:39.780 The Pantheon ult comes in, and Dokla, no flash. 02:52:39.780 --> 02:52:42.340 There's no way he can get out of this one. 02:52:42.340 --> 02:52:44.940 Caps uses his advantage to make sure of it. 02:52:44.940 --> 02:52:47.580 He flashes forward to make sure they get my asthma 02:52:47.580 --> 02:52:49.580 and they get the kill ahead of time. 02:52:49.580 --> 02:52:51.420 Saints has gone to split pusher in that time though. 02:52:51.420 --> 02:52:52.680 They tried to get something cross map. 02:52:52.680 --> 02:52:54.080 He gets the minion wave at the very least 02:52:54.080 --> 02:52:55.120 up to the top tower. 02:52:55.120 --> 02:52:57.080 G2 though gonna take control of this Baron area. 02:52:57.080 --> 02:52:59.700 Joklis still dead for another 30 seconds 02:52:59.700 --> 02:53:02.900 and Cassio if he kills Baron so fast. 02:53:02.900 --> 02:53:03.860 G2 hiding in the darkness. 02:53:03.860 --> 02:53:05.700 You can see Lyon don't have the best vision set up. 02:53:05.700 --> 02:53:06.600 You highlighted it well. 02:53:06.600 --> 02:53:09.040 The Cassio tearing through the Baron but inspired. 02:53:09.040 --> 02:53:13.040 Can he take the 50-50? Will G2 take the risk? 02:53:13.040 --> 02:53:15.040 More importantly, Berserker, ulti connecting under LeBrov. 02:53:15.040 --> 02:53:17.040 The follow-up, not quite going to connect to the Hunts on LeBrov. 02:53:17.040 --> 02:53:19.040 Getting lower, sonic wave connecting. 02:53:19.040 --> 02:53:20.040 Resonates, working the way up. The flash! 02:53:20.040 --> 02:53:23.040 His butt is safe! The instantaneous on is the seeker, keeping him standing! 02:53:23.040 --> 02:53:25.040 Hunts on was blinking out far, being zoned away now! 02:53:25.040 --> 02:53:27.040 Inspired, looking for the follow-up. 02:53:27.040 --> 02:53:28.040 Ready to ward off over the stall. 02:53:28.040 --> 02:53:31.040 Ready to turn it back! But Hunts on must still live for an extra moment. 02:53:31.040 --> 02:53:33.040 Porting down Isles, not quite able to finish it. 02:53:33.040 --> 02:53:36.040 Let the saster of a sapsle charge! 02:53:36.040 --> 02:53:38.040 Turns into two for Lyon! 02:53:38.040 --> 02:53:43.040 Skulmont and Cap, the last ones left standing, but this fight is all Lyon! 02:53:43.040 --> 02:53:45.040 The triple for Saints! 02:53:45.040 --> 02:53:49.040 Saints and Inspire come up clutch! 02:53:49.040 --> 02:53:55.040 The victor gets the early kills, teleports in behind him, but it is inspired with his fearlessness chasing them down. 02:53:55.040 --> 02:53:58.040 I think that is just so well communicated from Lyon. 02:53:58.040 --> 02:54:03.040 They call for the Varus into the Leona to buy time for Saints to get there. 02:54:03.040 --> 02:54:11.040 They CC chain the Nautilus and delay until they can get their over-the-wall the victor ultimate and he was ready with his 02:54:11.040 --> 02:54:11.540 Zonjas. 02:54:11.540 --> 02:54:16.040 Lion looking to finish it here. Don't want to give any more time to G2 Esports. 02:54:17.040 --> 02:54:26.040 G2 might have taken down the back-to-back World Champions, but they're on the cusp of losing back-to-back games against the best in the LC-S. 02:54:26.040 --> 02:54:33.000 We've already seen under reverse sweep here from G2. They'll have to do it again 02:54:34.040 --> 02:54:36.040 Azale when you're up you're up though, right? 02:54:36.520 --> 02:54:41.600 When you're right, you're right. You know last year I called the 3-0 this year. I called the 3-0 02:54:42.320 --> 02:54:47.960 What can you say it gets a little sad at a certain point, you know, you should rip me apart for being a no-one believer 02:54:48.880 --> 02:54:51.320 Watch you down. Where are you now? 02:54:51.760 --> 02:54:53.760 In the ground six feet under 02:54:53.760 --> 02:55:01.040 under 12 because it's been doubly bad to be honest it is not look good for g2 now it's been a 02:55:03.760 --> 02:55:05.760 Give it again 02:55:08.560 --> 02:55:14.640 I just love the fact that it's docla showing up right because we talked so much about broken blades 02:55:14.640 --> 02:55:21.120 counterpicks and how important they were against g2 and this gnar we saw him have a really big game 02:55:21.120 --> 02:55:26.800 on it already at this tournament, but it's I mean, I just love Douglas so so much. His 02:55:26.800 --> 02:55:32.120 story is so interesting where he keeps kind of getting benched or like kicked off. Yeah, 02:55:32.120 --> 02:55:39.520 needs to find another home. The rest of the castle was brought in right like and he showed 02:55:39.520 --> 02:55:46.240 the f up in this game. Always the bridesmaid never the black. But he is showing up here, 02:55:46.240 --> 02:55:52.400 especially in this game too and I'm mad because during the series against T1 he was 02:55:52.400 --> 02:55:58.800 Rocketblade leading the show against Doran and here I feel like he doesn't even exist man in his match-up he's so sad. 02:55:58.800 --> 02:56:02.640 That's the thing like it's sure inspired was up there a little bit but Doku was a little bit. 02:56:02.640 --> 02:56:08.160 But before that Doku was killing BB in the Wombie one like Doku is outperforming on the 02:56:08.160 --> 02:56:12.960 NAR and outperforming honestly in both game one and game two like he played well in the 02:56:12.960 --> 02:56:17.560 their next impresses and if you really didn't like maybe get a lead there and now coming into this game as well 02:56:17.560 --> 02:56:19.560 He just blew broken bit out of water 02:56:19.800 --> 02:56:25.920 Counterpicker Noss and this is this is why I talked so much about prep and we even got to see the prep in game in every second 02:56:25.920 --> 02:56:31.240 Counts and thanks to the libel Cisco network the top lane just goes and goes and goes 02:56:31.320 --> 02:56:37.760 And the beautiful thing about this is he teeped so aggressively because inspired was behind him and because he still had mega 02:56:37.760 --> 02:56:43.040 So the fact that he arrives in Mega, throws down the Wallop, Schumann had used the Aegis 02:56:43.040 --> 02:56:49.320 Assault offensively, which meant he had no recourse in that fight, and then the 1v1, 02:56:49.320 --> 02:56:53.000 the solo Bolo, Dokiwara, giving him the business. 02:56:53.000 --> 02:56:57.640 Yeah, the fact that you didn't even have the last breath there really set it up perfectly, 02:56:57.640 --> 02:56:58.640 Dokiwara. 02:56:58.640 --> 02:56:59.640 Understanding? 02:56:59.640 --> 02:57:00.640 Here, what? 02:57:00.640 --> 02:57:01.640 I was so confused. 02:57:01.640 --> 02:57:05.200 Like, we know that line of left mids, and we're like, we can 2v2 this, like, nothing 02:57:05.200 --> 02:57:07.520 can go wrong against the Femnir. 02:57:07.520 --> 02:57:14.120 I was just about to hit mega to right like that was the thing that I really loved as they played 02:57:14.440 --> 02:57:16.240 So well around 02:57:16.240 --> 02:57:24.280 Dokla's mega usage and that's a team thing as well right like that's not only Dokla playing really well individually 02:57:24.280 --> 02:57:25.880 But it's the team 02:57:25.880 --> 02:57:33.440 Tracking and making sure and this is consistent from his previous nar performance as well where I also thought they used his rage bar 02:57:33.440 --> 02:57:37.480 really well. Also Shadow to inspired in so many of these clips. This man was everywhere 02:57:37.480 --> 02:57:42.580 supporting Dokla and styling on it. This looked like a leasing montage like we're literally 02:57:42.580 --> 02:57:46.500 getting ticked off right now. And we know that. And we had the ass on. We know that 02:57:46.500 --> 02:57:51.600 Insider is deadly on Leasing but he's been deadly when it comes to smashing Europeans 02:57:51.600 --> 02:57:56.600 hope time and time again as well. We were talking about it last year with FlyQuest. 02:57:56.600 --> 02:58:01.320 He's doing it again this time around with a different team with Lion. He's he and Dokla 02:58:01.320 --> 02:58:05.560 are running the show right now. This is not the first time that EU is let down by some kind of 02:58:05.560 --> 02:58:10.760 Lions, but I feel like it's just gonna get worse and worse G2 turning into a punk in this time 02:58:10.760 --> 02:58:15.400 around. I will say though, you know, take my bias hat off. I think G2 is a team that is extremely 02:58:15.400 --> 02:58:19.480 mentally strong. We saw them actually reverse sweep against top. We've seen them pull off, 02:58:19.480 --> 02:58:25.640 here's some crazy upsets, some crazy, you know, momentum shifts. And I do think if I am G2, 02:58:25.640 --> 02:58:31.000 I'm betting it all on caps. Give him the matchup, send everything mid lane and get this man to take 02:58:31.000 --> 02:58:36.840 you to the promised land. I actually have some real time footage of how it feels to be a European 02:58:36.840 --> 02:58:44.840 fan right now if we can check it out. Jokes aside, G2, you need to reset. This is how they're doing 02:58:44.840 --> 02:58:51.160 it backstage with DAGDA. Give us some hopes. Once again, if there's any, G2 reverse swept four 02:58:51.160 --> 02:58:56.200 times in their history, two of them were this year. Do we think they can do it again here? I 02:58:56.200 --> 02:58:59.480 mean, there has to be the one thing that you hold on to, but it doesn't really feel like we're seeing 02:58:59.480 --> 02:59:04.440 the same G2 that we got to see against like the top eSports or the T1s. Like we're not getting 02:59:04.440 --> 02:59:09.160 LeBron out on the map. Skimond isn't thinking of putting him as well as he could. Bibi's been 02:59:09.160 --> 02:59:14.200 found out in the top lane. It is looking dire. I think we have to try and find some sort of 02:59:14.200 --> 02:59:18.920 stability there. Easy matchup for Bibi in the top lane, try and get caps going, but try and get 02:59:18.920 --> 02:59:23.400 LeBron out of the bottom lane. Like he has been so good when he's on the barred, when he's on these 02:59:23.400 --> 02:59:28.040 roam picks, we just haven't seen it this year. You know, a wise lady once said that it starts 02:59:28.040 --> 02:59:33.400 with success. It starts with overcoming your failure and nothing represents more this than 02:59:33.400 --> 02:59:39.560 Lion right now. There are two and they only need one more time to make it happen. 03:00:28.040 --> 03:00:32.440 Trapped at a desk in one singular posture for 12 hours a day. 03:00:34.680 --> 03:00:37.080 It's time your chair evolved. 03:00:37.560 --> 03:00:40.280 This is Secret Lab Titan Evo. 03:00:41.880 --> 03:00:47.720 Ergonomically engineered for youth, gamers, hybrid workers, artists. 03:00:48.520 --> 03:00:50.520 Back in your every move. 03:01:20.520 --> 03:01:22.520 I'm just gonna tell you daddy's son. 03:01:28.520 --> 03:01:30.520 Red Bull gives you wings. 03:01:50.520 --> 03:02:09.480 Red Bull givess you wings. 03:02:09.480 --> 03:02:13.160 Tired of the off-season blues once WorldTas over? 03:02:13.160 --> 03:02:18.460 Fear not, because League of Legends is coming the very first eSports Nations Cup, where 03:02:18.460 --> 03:02:22.820 players split from their clubs and compete for national pride. 03:02:22.820 --> 03:02:25.900 Will China test every limit imaginable? 03:02:25.900 --> 03:02:29.580 Will South Korea turn every game into a macro masterclass? 03:02:29.580 --> 03:02:33.220 Will EU and NA actually play in the correct lengths? 03:02:33.220 --> 03:02:36.180 The final event of the year is not to be missed. 03:02:36.180 --> 03:02:38.660 Esports Nation's Cup 2026. 03:02:38.660 --> 03:02:39.660 See you in Riyadh. 03:03:18.460 --> 03:03:30.300 I mean, the second match was really intense. It was 2-0. 03:03:30.300 --> 03:03:32.380 What happened, Sean? 03:03:32.380 --> 03:03:34.840 I don't know! I'm so sad! 03:03:34.840 --> 03:03:37.640 I won the second match. 03:03:37.640 --> 03:03:42.800 It wasn't good, but G2 reversed WAPTES. 03:03:42.800 --> 03:03:45.880 So, don't make me laugh. 03:03:45.880 --> 03:03:47.520 This, this, we're moving. 03:03:47.520 --> 03:03:49.200 Yeah! Oh my god. 03:03:49.200 --> 03:03:50.800 They're going to do a competition. 03:03:50.800 --> 03:03:56.080 So, we have a G2 fan and a Ryan fan. 03:03:56.080 --> 03:03:59.120 So, we're going to do a rock, paper, scissors. 03:03:59.120 --> 03:04:00.680 Are you ready? 03:04:00.680 --> 03:04:01.440 Huh? 03:04:01.440 --> 03:04:02.200 Are you ready? 03:04:02.200 --> 03:04:03.280 Yes. 03:04:03.280 --> 03:04:04.200 Are you ready? 03:04:04.200 --> 03:04:04.880 Yes. 03:04:04.880 --> 03:04:06.520 Let's go. 03:04:06.520 --> 03:04:08.760 Rock, paper, scissors! 03:04:08.760 --> 03:04:10.040 Wow! 03:04:10.040 --> 03:04:11.440 G2 wins! 03:04:11.440 --> 03:04:13.280 Rock, paper, scissors! 03:04:13.280 --> 03:04:14.920 Rock, paper, scissors! 03:04:14.920 --> 03:04:18.920 Brown paper scissor! 03:04:18.920 --> 03:04:20.920 Wow! 03:04:20.920 --> 03:04:22.920 Brown paper scissor! 03:04:22.920 --> 03:04:24.920 Brown paper scissor! 03:04:24.920 --> 03:04:26.920 Wow! 03:04:26.920 --> 03:04:29.920 G2 fans showed their power and won rock, paper, scissors. 03:04:29.920 --> 03:04:31.920 G2 fans are so strong! 03:04:31.920 --> 03:04:33.920 Congratulations! 03:04:33.920 --> 03:04:37.920 Luckily the fans are doing better than the team. 03:04:37.920 --> 03:04:40.920 Let's cheer for Lion and G2. 03:04:40.920 --> 03:04:42.920 Lion fighting! 03:04:42.920 --> 03:04:44.920 GTZU FIGHTING! 03:06:12.920 --> 03:06:14.920 What's up? What's up? What's up? 03:06:14.920 --> 03:06:17.920 G2 might have taken down the back-to-back world champions, 03:06:17.920 --> 03:06:20.920 but they're on the cusp of losing back-to-back games 03:06:20.920 --> 03:06:23.920 against the best in the LCS. 03:06:26.920 --> 03:06:28.920 Welcome back to MSI 2026, 03:06:28.920 --> 03:06:31.920 where the mood is at an all-time high in the G2 camp, 03:06:31.920 --> 03:06:33.920 because they've reversed swap before, 03:06:33.920 --> 03:06:36.920 and they're certainly going to do it again. 03:06:36.920 --> 03:06:38.920 Listen, certainly. 03:06:38.920 --> 03:06:40.920 Of teams that reverse sweep, G2 doesn't do it more often. 03:06:40.920 --> 03:06:43.320 and they have four reverse reaps in their organization's history. 03:06:43.320 --> 03:06:45.360 They have two in the last month. 03:06:45.360 --> 03:06:46.640 They did it in the LEC playoffs. 03:06:46.640 --> 03:06:48.640 They've done it at this MSI. 03:06:48.640 --> 03:06:51.160 So this is not a place of comfort for Lyon to be like, 03:06:51.160 --> 03:06:53.160 oh, we're two up, surely we close them out. 03:06:53.160 --> 03:06:54.440 They have to continue to play well. 03:06:54.440 --> 03:06:55.840 It's extreme nerves, Draco. 03:06:55.840 --> 03:06:57.640 Yeah, it's extreme nerves. 03:06:57.640 --> 03:06:59.440 There's a mental fortitude that has to happen. 03:06:59.440 --> 03:07:02.080 Because remember, we've never had in right international history 03:07:02.080 --> 03:07:04.680 a fifth game in an EU versus NA Best of Five. 03:07:04.680 --> 03:07:05.440 We've gotten close. 03:07:05.440 --> 03:07:06.040 That's crazy. 03:07:06.040 --> 03:07:08.960 It was TL versus Fanatic, although the series was 03:07:08.960 --> 03:07:10.040 horrendously not close. 03:07:10.040 --> 03:07:11.560 That was four games at the very least. 03:07:11.560 --> 03:07:12.720 There's a lot of 3-0s. 03:07:12.720 --> 03:07:13.880 But four is close to five. 03:07:13.880 --> 03:07:14.800 Four is close to five. 03:07:14.800 --> 03:07:18.320 So Jason Thumbers, which will take is coming into this game. 03:07:18.320 --> 03:07:21.080 G2 choosing blue side, line changing second pick, 03:07:21.080 --> 03:07:23.040 wanting that counter pick for the top side. 03:07:23.040 --> 03:07:25.440 And every counter pick that G2 have been able to grab 03:07:25.440 --> 03:07:27.640 really has not worked out for them thus far. 03:07:27.640 --> 03:07:29.640 And G2 has buried their bans a little bit 03:07:29.640 --> 03:07:30.480 throughout this series. 03:07:30.480 --> 03:07:32.760 They've been Jason every game and not turning every game 03:07:32.760 --> 03:07:34.360 and crucially have left it open this time. 03:07:34.360 --> 03:07:36.080 They were giving respect to Dope as Jason. 03:07:36.080 --> 03:07:37.800 But this is actually the pick that I'd identified, 03:07:37.800 --> 03:07:43.600 Dracos between games of I think g2 should let dope the play it because they might be able to neutralize it 03:07:43.600 --> 03:07:45.600 I think that's the gambit they're taking and 03:07:46.240 --> 03:07:48.240 G2 03:07:48.800 --> 03:07:55.660 This counterfeit thing you know Ryan is gonna have to counterfeit this time around so we'll see what don't go does because don't 03:07:55.660 --> 03:08:04.100 Let's done such a good job without it in the top lane thus far and now g2 are going to have the first pick 03:08:04.520 --> 03:08:06.520 instead 03:08:07.800 --> 03:08:14.360 BBJs or CapsJs or SkuMonJs, I don't see a Jace this... 03:08:14.360 --> 03:08:17.040 I mean they could, they could, they're all viable. 03:08:17.040 --> 03:08:19.160 One of the biggest criticisms. 03:08:19.160 --> 03:08:24.400 Levied against G2 in Meta's past has been that Broken Blade does not play Rumble, 03:08:24.400 --> 03:08:25.840 and that he does not play Jace. 03:08:25.840 --> 03:08:29.280 While he has littered some games in there to kind of contest that narrative, 03:08:29.280 --> 03:08:34.200 it is not considered one of his strong picks, his signature picks, or even one of his good picks. 03:08:34.200 --> 03:08:36.700 So to bet it on a potential top-land race 03:08:36.700 --> 03:08:38.540 is a hugely ballsy move for G2. 03:08:38.540 --> 03:08:41.260 But remember, after the disaster versus HLE, 03:08:41.260 --> 03:08:44.800 they bet on BB against T1, and it absolutely paid off. 03:08:44.800 --> 03:08:46.140 They might be doing the same here. 03:08:46.140 --> 03:08:48.480 And my favorite iteration of G2, 03:08:48.480 --> 03:08:49.940 the most successful iteration, 03:08:49.940 --> 03:08:52.420 was when they were a flexing pike in all five roles, 03:08:52.420 --> 03:08:54.380 and even the coaches were playing. 03:08:54.380 --> 03:08:59.220 And so we'll see as they keep it very flexible early on. 03:08:59.220 --> 03:09:02.420 But still, the payment for that chase is quite big. 03:09:02.420 --> 03:09:09.480 RISE here is looking very good with the current champions out of Fearless and they also are 03:09:09.480 --> 03:09:12.880 going to get extra side lane pressure with a bar. 03:09:12.880 --> 03:09:17.880 So it's kind of a classic combo having the RISE and the bar really early on does make 03:09:17.880 --> 03:09:18.880 your mid game. 03:09:18.880 --> 03:09:21.200 You have a lot of leeway inside lanes. 03:09:21.200 --> 03:09:22.200 I'm just... 03:09:22.200 --> 03:09:25.160 Well, it's not a jungle, Chase. 03:09:25.160 --> 03:09:26.640 I'm still surprised that... 03:09:26.640 --> 03:09:28.640 And it's not a mid lane, Chase. 03:09:28.640 --> 03:09:30.800 That's probably a play, Chase, guaranteed. 03:09:30.800 --> 03:09:35.400 If this wasn't MSI where teams look at Scion's win rate and see that it's 0-9, 03:09:35.400 --> 03:09:40.400 Doku would lock Scion right here because it's double AD top jungle 03:09:40.400 --> 03:09:44.000 and he would just play to neutralize it, but they might just drop him to 4-5 03:09:44.000 --> 03:09:47.200 to secure the bottom lane, which as, again, we were discussing, Dracos, 03:09:48.200 --> 03:09:53.000 the bot lane for Lyon has kind of taken Han's Sama and the Braw out of this series 03:09:53.000 --> 03:09:55.800 and the Braw has been such a big playmaker when G2 is at their best 03:09:55.800 --> 03:09:59.800 is because Han's and the Braw are like pushing the tempo truly to getting things to happen 03:09:59.800 --> 03:10:03.960 and they haven't been in yet this series so again high party by Lyon on their bot 2v2. 03:10:04.920 --> 03:10:08.840 I do want to point out Caps is a pentakill already at this tournament on this champion, 03:10:08.840 --> 03:10:12.360 Tracos. I appreciate you guys. That's gotta give you something. To give me a lot of the silver 03:10:12.360 --> 03:10:15.720 linings, there might even be some gold linings on this particular cloud and Caps on this 03:10:15.720 --> 03:10:20.520 Indra is one of them. Now with the Caitlyn locked in, I'm curious if Lyon will even spend a ban on 03:10:20.520 --> 03:10:24.360 the mel, right? Not something again that we associate Hans Samuels, but has been a very 03:10:24.360 --> 03:10:27.880 conventional and very powerful answer. This card would work really well with Mel Bon. 03:10:27.880 --> 03:10:30.520 But, that's a good call out. 03:10:30.520 --> 03:10:35.380 They have exactly the topside that you would want to have WAP mid bot. 03:10:35.380 --> 03:10:40.980 The problem is, we know these teams have scrims, and if Haunts didn't pick Mel and those scrims, 03:10:40.980 --> 03:10:45.180 I think Lion are willing to take the gamble that he's not about to pick it on stage. 03:10:45.180 --> 03:10:51.020 I mean, Delusion ban already blocks Delusion Helio, Varus is already gone, he'd have like 03:10:51.020 --> 03:10:52.020 Jin left. 03:10:52.020 --> 03:10:53.020 I kind of like the Mel ban. 03:10:53.020 --> 03:10:56.980 Just to be safe, just because compositionally, like even if G2 is not their strength, it's 03:10:56.980 --> 03:10:59.340 It's scary for Lyme. 03:10:59.340 --> 03:11:01.980 Their Mal can be vulnerable to the Bard instead of Kiana. 03:11:01.980 --> 03:11:02.980 They're not scared at all. 03:11:02.980 --> 03:11:04.980 They're not scared at all. 03:11:04.980 --> 03:11:09.980 Not scared after the previous mage game they face down. 03:11:09.980 --> 03:11:14.980 And they feel it's more adequate to take away playmaking from LeBrav, you know? 03:11:14.980 --> 03:11:16.980 That Rakan into the Bard option. 03:11:16.980 --> 03:11:19.980 So is it another good denial? 03:11:19.980 --> 03:11:21.980 Really don't want to give inspired to Kiana. 03:11:21.980 --> 03:11:23.980 A champion who can really pull off along those early ganks. 03:11:23.980 --> 03:11:27.980 made a contest at a time where Scumon would still really prefer to farm until 6. 03:11:28.980 --> 03:11:32.980 They're baiting out from Lyon, where they want to lock in. Pretty comfortable with their bot lane 2v2. 03:11:32.980 --> 03:11:36.980 And the topside wide open for them. They know what they're playing against in that regard. 03:11:37.980 --> 03:11:42.980 Trundle against the double immobile champions of the Syntra and the Jayce. 03:11:42.980 --> 03:11:44.980 They get a lot of value out of the pillar. 03:11:44.980 --> 03:11:49.540 I pillar value. It's an okay pick into the Wukong. Not incredible, but 03:11:50.740 --> 03:11:57.140 They're just they're just going okay with hyper scaling bot lane. Okay. Yeah, no majors. No, but they don't want to see majors again 03:11:57.140 --> 03:12:00.060 They're not gonna go out of this tournament playing Ziggs now. That's for sure 03:12:00.060 --> 03:12:07.380 You know, Lulu the lock in for Hansen LeBrov at match point and pre six 03:12:07.780 --> 03:12:11.620 They have to be careful because it post six you know, I have some play against the Thunder pillar 03:12:11.620 --> 03:12:15.540 but pre-six it can be really tricky. If Inspire gets active early on, that said, 03:12:15.540 --> 03:12:18.460 the Rob looks fantastic on this lube the last time we saw it. 03:12:18.460 --> 03:12:21.020 York would be an angle if he wants to. 03:12:21.020 --> 03:12:24.380 Dokla has played York in the past, but Olaf hover is... 03:12:24.380 --> 03:12:26.140 It's just in! It's Olaf! 03:12:26.140 --> 03:12:30.900 Olaf does so well into all the CC. The Lulu polymorph don't care. 03:12:30.900 --> 03:12:34.020 The spinning Lukong gonna run right past them. 03:12:34.020 --> 03:12:37.500 Dokla, they're putting all their faith in big dokes. 03:12:37.500 --> 03:12:40.100 He has had the advantage in the top lane matchup. 03:12:40.100 --> 03:12:44.020 This series and they're going to say it will continue 03:12:45.300 --> 03:12:49.220 This year for docla one Olaf game in his 03:12:49.860 --> 03:12:53.260 480 career games we have on record so it he's definitely poor for this 03:12:53.260 --> 03:12:58.760 But he will have definitely played it in solo queue be comfortable with the pick and it fits the comp and what line has done this year with 03:12:58.760 --> 03:13:00.260 Docla in 03:13:00.260 --> 03:13:02.980 Split one playoffs for LCS walking and a split two 03:13:02.980 --> 03:13:09.220 They're very comfortable throwing him on any counter pick and they trust him to execute and inspired is on trundle a 03:13:09.220 --> 03:13:11.900 a very strong duelist. 03:13:11.900 --> 03:13:13.740 Before Wukong gets to level six, 03:13:13.740 --> 03:13:15.500 I wanna see where Inspired goes, 03:13:15.500 --> 03:13:17.340 how he wants to put some pressure here, 03:13:17.340 --> 03:13:19.860 because jungle can really make the difference 03:13:19.860 --> 03:13:21.420 in these match-up, you know, 03:13:21.420 --> 03:13:23.140 picking the whole off into the chase. 03:13:23.140 --> 03:13:25.460 If your jungle is constantly invading, 03:13:25.460 --> 03:13:28.500 marking this Wukong, chasing this Wukong away, 03:13:28.500 --> 03:13:30.140 then you can have a lot more pressure 03:13:30.140 --> 03:13:32.340 and threaten all ins yourself. 03:13:32.340 --> 03:13:34.500 Game one, a slow pace, relatively. 03:13:34.500 --> 03:13:36.020 Game two was getting faster and faster, 03:13:36.020 --> 03:13:37.220 more in favor of Lyon. 03:13:37.220 --> 03:13:41.220 Game three with this trundle early on potentially this Olaf looking towards topside 03:13:41.660 --> 03:13:46.820 Like it even faster our G2 ready for that pace of play. We talked about the scaling of the unara is there 03:13:46.820 --> 03:13:50.860 Sinja strong early has good setup, but you got a loop on who wants to farm 03:13:51.420 --> 03:13:57.020 G2 can have a tough time and navigating this early game as we load into game three lying up to zero 03:13:57.420 --> 03:14:01.580 Looking for the clean sweep against the G2 who just took down T1 03:14:01.580 --> 03:14:06.960 And if I think about the way that G2 could win this game, it would be Caps getting mid 03:14:06.960 --> 03:14:11.500 Pryo over St with the rage advantage, but more importantly, it's Han Sama getting fed. 03:14:11.500 --> 03:14:15.820 If they can just corner this bot lane through mid Pryo, jungle, and permanent push and Han 03:14:15.820 --> 03:14:18.380 Sama gets strong enough, he could shred through the front. 03:14:18.380 --> 03:14:19.380 Have some St trading. 03:14:19.380 --> 03:14:22.540 The media goes coming out from St, looking to extend his advantage. 03:14:22.540 --> 03:14:23.540 Nice ward placed. 03:14:23.540 --> 03:14:25.820 Giving information and we'll just back away. 03:14:25.820 --> 03:14:30.420 Happy to potentially chip away at those pots or maybe get even an early TP. 03:14:30.420 --> 03:14:34.780 those spots, humance, so much information in favor of Lyon. 03:14:34.780 --> 03:14:36.220 That's because there's for the minions though. 03:14:36.220 --> 03:14:38.700 He gets back for all three melees. 03:14:38.700 --> 03:14:40.860 So even though he gets chased around, 03:14:40.860 --> 03:14:42.100 the timing is OK for him. 03:14:42.100 --> 03:14:43.700 Meanwhile, bottom line, all in all in. 03:14:43.700 --> 03:14:45.980 Hanson, the full stack on the Q, nice. 03:14:45.980 --> 03:14:47.780 Now we're up coming in for the cosmic binding on Isles. 03:14:47.780 --> 03:14:49.300 Really saves that exchange. 03:14:49.300 --> 03:14:53.300 Extremely important stun and lethal tempo on both 80 carries. 03:14:53.300 --> 03:14:56.580 So these extended trades can be very powerful. 03:14:56.580 --> 03:14:57.060 Exactly. 03:14:57.060 --> 03:14:59.780 The level one of Unara is where you really have to worry about. 03:14:59.780 --> 03:15:07.780 When everybody's on one ability and she can stack her Q, the chase down is terrifying, so inspired we were looking at what you're going to do with this early trundle. 03:15:07.780 --> 03:15:09.780 And the answer is bot. 03:15:09.780 --> 03:15:14.780 Level 1. Just now I'm going to take over to level 2. They're going to notice it, but it might be too late. 03:15:14.780 --> 03:15:20.780 Q flash goes completely wide. LeBron still has access to the flash. They're trying to finish him out. First blood is there! 03:15:20.780 --> 03:15:24.780 It's okay, Isles. They still got that kill. Even with the attempt. 03:15:24.780 --> 03:15:31.240 Zoning Q, if he didn't sidestep, he's gonna die anyway. Totally fine. It goes over to Isle's unfortunate though 03:15:31.240 --> 03:15:33.180 You'd love to have that kill on a berserker. 03:15:33.180 --> 03:15:35.580 And Jack, what was it who said just a minute ago? 03:15:35.580 --> 03:15:38.620 Was it that if G2 wanted to win this game they had to get their bot lane ahead? 03:15:38.620 --> 03:15:44.260 Unfortunately, that is the exact opposite of what has happened. Inspired a level 2 gank on this trundle, 03:15:44.560 --> 03:15:48.220 recognizing that window, recognizing what G2 might want to play for and shutting it down. 03:15:48.220 --> 03:15:53.340 And this is one of the reasons that inspired his own to the region, whether he's on EG, FlyQuest, or Lion. 03:15:53.340 --> 03:15:59.820 He identifies the wing condition of the game faster than anybody else and he will change his game for that in regular season 03:15:59.820 --> 03:16:04.180 He's just the full clear guy not really letting you know his plans, but when it matters 03:16:04.180 --> 03:16:09.980 That's when he's gonna pull off the two-camp gank right? That's not even a three-camp gank. That's way faster than anyone expected 03:16:09.980 --> 03:16:12.060 He's probably never done that gank all year 03:16:12.060 --> 03:16:15.820 But he pulls it out in this moment because he knows that's what the game requires 03:16:15.820 --> 03:16:18.980 So the first time the series not playing towards the top side of the map not worried about it saying 03:16:18.980 --> 03:16:25.380 We expect you to lose this one, but it's fine because it's been fine in every game prior to this one six one versus five one seven a 03:16:25.700 --> 03:16:27.700 massive discrepancy and 03:16:27.860 --> 03:16:30.060 Okay, all right, but we're already scared 03:16:31.420 --> 03:16:35.620 That is definitely a large bicep on your screen right there 03:16:36.660 --> 03:16:40.380 Doku has been massive bot side though. I'm talking about still trying to fight here 03:16:41.460 --> 03:16:48.340 Build it more probably low man. Oh, is it a curse humon on the way up? Has it been the caster curse humon? 03:16:48.980 --> 03:16:54.880 No in for a little bit more, a bit more poke damage, but Doklam managing to live conceives both sums, but happy to walk away with his life. 03:16:54.880 --> 03:17:02.480 No TP though, so he's definitely going to lose a significant portion from that, and now be kind of stuck under his turret for quite a while, so doesn't get the kill, but a nice game cry Skiumon. 03:17:02.480 --> 03:17:13.680 Yeah, large value there for Skiumon. The answer, the question is going to be then, what is Inspire going to do after crab? Can he actually get there to contest the raptors? Because the raptor, they have mid lane move. 03:17:13.680 --> 03:17:14.800 It's actually going to push in bot again. 03:17:14.800 --> 03:17:15.600 That's the portal. 03:17:15.600 --> 03:17:16.800 LeBron and Hunts, I'm going to be in trouble again. 03:17:16.800 --> 03:17:18.300 LeBron still has Flash from the previous play. 03:17:18.300 --> 03:17:18.800 Azta's haunt. 03:17:18.800 --> 03:17:20.100 He's going to be forced to burn it now, 03:17:20.100 --> 03:17:21.300 and the damage is still coming in. 03:17:21.300 --> 03:17:22.500 And it's going to be enough. 03:17:22.500 --> 03:17:23.840 Isle's taking the kills. 03:17:23.840 --> 03:17:24.440 Inspired. 03:17:24.440 --> 03:17:26.680 Flash is forward. 03:17:26.680 --> 03:17:28.400 I'll put the hook in. 03:17:28.400 --> 03:17:30.520 Yeah, you kind of want to get a little bit like. 03:17:30.520 --> 03:17:32.560 Guys, this is a mistake. 03:17:32.560 --> 03:17:33.480 Two buttery, my walk. 03:17:33.480 --> 03:17:33.920 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 03:17:33.920 --> 03:17:35.040 This is going to be fine. 03:17:35.040 --> 03:17:35.560 It's fine. 03:17:35.560 --> 03:17:36.360 They need this one. 03:17:36.360 --> 03:17:37.560 They need to get the kill. 03:17:37.560 --> 03:17:41.160 Undertower, Flash from Inspired goes back in. 03:17:41.160 --> 03:17:44.320 We'll see about the ramifications of that as well, though, 03:17:44.320 --> 03:17:47.920 because Caitlyn bar constant pushing, constant pressure. 03:17:47.920 --> 03:17:51.520 Now, into the Yunara Lulu, we'll keep them down for the mid game. 03:17:51.520 --> 03:17:54.640 Yeah, the kills would be better on Berserker, 03:17:54.640 --> 03:17:58.200 but Han Sama being on 25 CS, no flash, 03:17:59.080 --> 03:18:00.680 four and a half minutes into this game 03:18:00.680 --> 03:18:03.000 is the point of those ganks by Inspire. 03:18:03.000 --> 03:18:04.960 And I'd even rather have them on Inspire too, 03:18:04.960 --> 03:18:07.720 because he is sacrificing camps to do these. 03:18:07.720 --> 03:18:09.520 You know, he's investing in bot lane, 03:18:09.520 --> 03:18:14.200 And he invested his flash there as well to go back under tower to get the job done. 03:18:14.640 --> 03:18:20.080 And you know the Trundle, they do want him to have a good economy still in this game. 03:18:20.360 --> 03:18:24.240 Yes, a lot of it is, hey, we're going to focus our Caitlyn Bard, get them to have some very 03:18:24.240 --> 03:18:27.520 oppressive pushing and open up some roam timers for the Bard. 03:18:28.160 --> 03:18:31.520 But you still also as Trundle, you always got to keep your own economy good as well. 03:18:32.280 --> 03:18:35.080 Gentlemen, one of the lanes that's looking good in terms of trade is mid lane. 03:18:35.080 --> 03:18:39.280 But unfortunately, because bot lane is going so well for Lyon, it means Isles has this extra 03:18:39.280 --> 03:18:41.740 free time to roam in here and disrupt this PowerPoint. 03:18:41.740 --> 03:18:43.620 We talked about the pen to kill for caps. 03:18:43.620 --> 03:18:47.860 No doubt the most clutch player on this G2 lineup 03:18:47.860 --> 03:18:51.100 might not matter if he's not able to find that 1v1 in lane. 03:18:51.100 --> 03:18:52.900 Dope clip just now taking over to level six. 03:18:52.900 --> 03:18:54.860 The traits thus far have been favoring Broken Blade, 03:18:54.860 --> 03:18:56.660 but now that he can't use the Thundering Smash 03:18:56.660 --> 03:18:58.180 to knock back the Olaf, it's going 03:18:58.180 --> 03:18:59.460 to get a lot more difficult. 03:18:59.460 --> 03:19:01.100 Yeah, still waiting on that flashing ghost 03:19:01.100 --> 03:19:03.820 to come back up to be able to show real threat 03:19:03.820 --> 03:19:05.300 towards Broken Blade's base. 03:19:05.300 --> 03:19:06.620 Also a much different game that we're 03:19:06.620 --> 03:19:08.700 going to be seeing here in terms of overall map plays. 03:19:08.700 --> 03:19:13.460 Zero TPs from anybody online last game we had three so they were really flying all over the place now 03:19:13.460 --> 03:19:17.540 They're gonna be a lot more isolated in their own ways back to the top lane now fired 03:19:19.100 --> 03:19:21.820 Walking up definitely wants that one auto on the plate 03:19:22.900 --> 03:19:24.340 So look at wukong as well 03:19:24.340 --> 03:19:29.960 So yeah, this is interesting because he's wrapping around and is gonna place the deep control where they go for the ping here 03:19:29.960 --> 03:19:35.000 Yes, thank you very much observers to try and get that information on inspires route 03:19:35.000 --> 03:19:37.000 out. 03:19:37.000 --> 03:19:39.000 Rapper on the mid, St. First on the push. 03:19:39.000 --> 03:19:42.000 Rise waker at this point is still quite good. 03:19:42.000 --> 03:19:44.000 See if we're going to have a hard time. 03:19:44.000 --> 03:19:46.000 The first thing out of the rise, especially as he gets closer and closer 03:19:46.000 --> 03:19:49.000 to competing that mid lane quest and the tier three boots, 03:19:49.000 --> 03:19:51.000 to make sure she can make a big difference. 03:19:51.000 --> 03:19:53.000 Trying to keep info on what skumon has taken, 03:19:53.000 --> 03:19:56.000 is he the overload, just to poke at the rapper camp 03:19:56.000 --> 03:19:58.000 but it doesn't connect to skumon's time. 03:19:58.000 --> 03:20:00.000 Yeah, St. Even though he's down a little bit and CS, 03:20:00.000 --> 03:20:03.000 still able to keep the pressure up in this lane. 03:20:03.000 --> 03:20:07.000 tries to get a little bit of information for Inspire who's on his blue. 03:20:09.000 --> 03:20:13.000 Bot lane, Berserker and Isle continuing to push up and to seal the tension in this game. 03:20:13.000 --> 03:20:19.000 The explosion of early action in the favor of Lyon has slowed down a bit as they continue to build up these gold leads for Berserker. 03:20:19.000 --> 03:20:26.000 Yeah, and a lot of the point that we were making about Inspire's early jungle power on the trundle over the Wukong. 03:20:26.000 --> 03:20:27.000 Great. 03:20:27.000 --> 03:20:30.400 Journey coming through. Heal for additional movements. He's walking up on someone. 03:20:30.400 --> 03:20:33.200 Alteon through him as well. Stumon on the way in. Wants to start spinning. 03:20:33.200 --> 03:20:36.600 Has to body block the shot. Inclusively does so. The play stops. 03:20:36.600 --> 03:20:38.900 Stumon continuing to walk up. Realm warp on the way. 03:20:38.900 --> 03:20:41.600 It means Saints on the way too. That's going to be a kill back for Stumon, 03:20:41.600 --> 03:20:43.400 but he might just trade his life. Wants to take down his fire, 03:20:43.400 --> 03:20:46.100 but does not have the damage. Berserker to finish it. 03:20:46.100 --> 03:20:47.600 St. Hungry for more. 03:20:47.600 --> 03:20:49.900 Yeah, St. Ghost and Roms. Look at the mid lane too. 03:20:49.900 --> 03:20:52.400 They had Douglas walk down there. It's over vision. He lands the axe. 03:20:52.400 --> 03:20:55.400 He's going to run to Caps. Slowed him down. Caps has the flash, 03:20:55.400 --> 03:20:58.560 But I don't think there's really anywhere for him to go flashing finally away 03:20:58.560 --> 03:21:03.120 But say it over the wall as well locked up the tower shot will not get them one in return 03:21:03.240 --> 03:21:10.160 Saint making plays but lion shift everything down bottom lane to really overload and win those skirmishes 03:21:10.160 --> 03:21:12.160 They're all on board with the mat movements 03:21:12.160 --> 03:21:17.680 I mean they sent four people bottom to shift and then I was a berserker journey the cosmic binding connects 03:21:18.120 --> 03:21:21.760 This is devastating the trap there as well. This man can't move 03:21:21.760 --> 03:21:25.760 running back into the Tower of Lyon just to hit a plate, 03:21:25.760 --> 03:21:28.760 just to take time to contemplate what went wrong. 03:21:28.760 --> 03:21:30.760 He's as good as dead, but he's running for his life. 03:21:30.760 --> 03:21:32.760 He wants to go out on his terms. 03:21:32.760 --> 03:21:34.760 Broken blade falls. 03:21:34.760 --> 03:21:36.760 Trying to time out the execute, 03:21:36.760 --> 03:21:38.760 but the red buff definitely helping extend the damage. 03:21:38.760 --> 03:21:40.760 What a beautiful sequence there by Lyon, 03:21:40.760 --> 03:21:42.760 shifting all over the map. 03:21:42.760 --> 03:21:44.760 Yeah, it's just the rotations are so good. 03:21:44.760 --> 03:21:47.760 Everybody's on board as they make the play bottom. 03:21:47.760 --> 03:21:49.760 Then, eh, okay. 03:21:49.760 --> 03:21:53.200 Isles in trouble. Magical journey not enough. Quick kill for Caps. 03:21:53.200 --> 03:21:56.820 Some hope back for G2. Caps does get the execution. 03:21:56.820 --> 03:22:01.220 Lyon's still snowballing the map here, but that is some money where they want it. 03:22:01.220 --> 03:22:06.380 Let's see how the lanes shake out here because roll quests still aren't completed 03:22:06.380 --> 03:22:11.500 and they did a great shift but now can they make it back. Remember it's no TPs versus double TP 03:22:11.500 --> 03:22:14.800 so G2 should be able to play a little bit of catch-up as they're going to use 03:22:14.800 --> 03:22:18.060 that kill onto Isles to be able to secure these grubs. 03:22:18.060 --> 03:22:21.060 that they are the broken play losing out on that cannon. 03:22:21.060 --> 03:22:23.660 It's like one additional CES on the return to top side. 03:22:23.660 --> 03:22:25.160 The Grubbs though going to feel nice for G2. 03:22:25.160 --> 03:22:26.960 Neither side has taken a drake yet. 03:22:26.960 --> 03:22:28.460 So it's not this big pressure point 03:22:28.460 --> 03:22:29.660 that's going to force these fights 03:22:29.660 --> 03:22:31.460 as we saw in the first two games. 03:22:31.460 --> 03:22:32.960 But still the early game looking rough 03:22:32.960 --> 03:22:34.260 and Berserker is going to be the problem. 03:22:34.260 --> 03:22:35.860 You mentioned it. Once those roll quests are done, 03:22:35.860 --> 03:22:37.260 that Katelyn gets out of that lane. 03:22:37.260 --> 03:22:39.260 All your tier one towers are going to start to fall. 03:22:39.260 --> 03:22:41.560 And the roaming will continue for Lyon. 03:22:41.560 --> 03:22:44.060 You know, with Bard and Ryze especially, 03:22:44.060 --> 03:22:51.740 Both Isle and Saint are going to be making a lot of visits between bot lane and mid lane here. 03:22:53.900 --> 03:22:57.580 Alties gash to the side. Spawning with an Altie as well from Isle. 03:22:59.900 --> 03:23:04.220 Isle is doing stuff. I'm not trusting what he's doing. He's missed a couple of queues he's taken 03:23:04.220 --> 03:23:08.300 a few kills but still trying to provide the pressure. I will say getting that Unar ult down, 03:23:09.420 --> 03:23:13.180 you know maybe that is super valuable for this dragon. No Unar ultimate. 03:23:13.180 --> 03:23:16.180 And a lot of the power budget is in that thing. 03:23:16.180 --> 03:23:18.180 Nice time. 03:23:18.180 --> 03:23:21.180 I was able to magical journey out. 03:23:21.180 --> 03:23:23.180 Got to be careful about this drake though. 03:23:23.180 --> 03:23:25.180 Skumann would love to find another ultimate, 03:23:25.180 --> 03:23:28.180 especially on a flashless, altless bard. 03:23:28.180 --> 03:23:30.180 So, Lyon needs to make sure they don't rush this. 03:23:30.180 --> 03:23:32.180 Berserkers in a good state in the game, 03:23:32.180 --> 03:23:34.180 and I think they just want to really play around this Caitlyn 03:23:34.180 --> 03:23:36.180 and possibly the rise when he moves. 03:23:36.180 --> 03:23:39.180 New Isle is still a long time watching that temperate play. 03:23:39.180 --> 03:23:41.180 Upside play. Look at the rotation now. 03:23:41.180 --> 03:23:44.180 This guy from G2, they've got caps here. He wants a burst. 03:23:44.180 --> 03:23:48.180 Nobody is healthy here to defend for Dokla. 03:23:48.180 --> 03:23:51.180 Shockwave goes wide. There's not really much of a play there. 03:23:51.180 --> 03:23:55.180 Caps relatively low on mana as well. Definitely could have gotten the full combo, 03:23:55.180 --> 03:23:59.180 but hoping Dokla would overextend into the one from one and fight with his flash available. 03:23:59.180 --> 03:24:03.180 Big Dokes with the weak side play, not over committing, not face checking, 03:24:03.180 --> 03:24:09.180 managing to find caps, and then just kind of cheat this next wave as well in the top lane. 03:24:09.180 --> 03:24:11.540 Surviving this early laning phase against the Jays 03:24:11.540 --> 03:24:13.140 as he's trying to scale up on the Ola. 03:24:13.140 --> 03:24:14.780 That he is. Broke-and-Blade doing what he can 03:24:14.780 --> 03:24:15.780 to build up this gold lead. 03:24:15.780 --> 03:24:17.180 You can see the CS very much in his favor. 03:24:17.180 --> 03:24:19.420 The assist helping balance things out for Dopela. 03:24:19.420 --> 03:24:21.420 But we saw this in game one, too, with the Anivia. 03:24:21.420 --> 03:24:22.980 A little gold lead. 03:24:22.980 --> 03:24:26.320 Not enough when you have this really powerful topside matchup. 03:24:26.320 --> 03:24:27.480 You want to turn it into more. 03:24:27.480 --> 03:24:29.080 You see a potential play in the mid-lane. 03:24:29.080 --> 03:24:30.740 Yeah, G2 trying to get something because they know 03:24:30.740 --> 03:24:32.740 Lion are going to set up for the dragon. 03:24:32.740 --> 03:24:34.580 And now they're going to make their way over. 03:24:34.580 --> 03:24:37.540 The objectives should be burned down in time for Lion. 03:24:37.540 --> 03:24:41.060 But can G2 close the trap shut here? 03:24:41.060 --> 03:24:43.940 Doesn't look like they'll be able to cut off anyone from Lyon. 03:24:43.940 --> 03:24:46.420 LeBravinskoumant still hunting. 03:24:46.420 --> 03:24:49.020 Maybe Tire will overcommit for a jungle camp 03:24:49.020 --> 03:24:51.260 looking for an exit kill. 03:24:51.260 --> 03:24:52.700 Berserker under the tower here. 03:24:52.700 --> 03:24:54.460 Do they want to go for the dive? 03:24:54.460 --> 03:24:56.020 They don't have a way to do it, 03:24:56.020 --> 03:24:58.500 but they're still trying to jail Berserker under this tower. 03:24:58.500 --> 03:24:59.980 Likely inspired all camps to the recall. 03:24:59.980 --> 03:25:01.860 It's cute to do it in the end. 03:25:01.860 --> 03:25:03.980 Yeah, Isle's on the way to defend as well, 03:25:03.980 --> 03:25:05.180 making sure they keep vision on. 03:25:05.180 --> 03:25:07.300 Lockdown on the Sku-Mun connects. 03:25:07.300 --> 03:25:10.900 Force to move out with the playful trickster, and there's the ulti right when they need it. 03:25:10.900 --> 03:25:14.460 Stumeon gonna have to start spinning if he wants to get away from this one, trying to back up the two! 03:25:14.460 --> 03:25:21.460 Iles! Clutch in the moment, living for an extra second before inspired, bites down, takes a chunk out of the G2 jungler. 03:25:21.460 --> 03:25:28.300 The ace in the hole, saint on the way, LeBrov moving in a different direction just cause he knows he's a dead man walking. 03:25:28.300 --> 03:25:31.260 A beautiful play for Lyon and for Iles. 03:25:31.260 --> 03:25:38.460 Isles hits the cosmic binding to keep the play going and Lion strike again in the bottom lane 03:25:38.460 --> 03:25:44.540 They're gonna finish the first tower of the game on top of it. I'm just gonna fill out another apology form Isles your bar 03:25:44.540 --> 03:25:49.380 I wasn't familiar with your game, but I love just the patience from Lion right there 03:25:49.600 --> 03:25:55.840 Inspired staying extra just in case there was a dive then cautiously checking the bush to see if Scumont was still there 03:25:55.840 --> 03:26:06.840 So, Berserker goes for the Q off of that stun and they try and try to get the net over the wall here, but doesn't get it, so I was like, okay, maybe two can run away, but Bile of Bile says no way! 03:26:06.840 --> 03:26:11.340 He's going to be able to take them down, the immediate flash follow from Inspired and the chase down. 03:26:11.340 --> 03:26:14.040 Cap's trying to make a difference in the bottom lane, but that's most of his damage. 03:26:14.040 --> 03:26:19.140 Flashback from St. Respecting that there could be more members for G2 there, and indeed they are spots on Sama on the way. 03:26:19.140 --> 03:26:24.240 It feels like when a play goes good for Lyon, that's when we pan back to Cap's making a play. 03:26:24.240 --> 03:26:33.780 He can't quite get the kill there though, just gets the flash from Saint as Berserker is just moving around the map, trying to farm the plates. 03:26:33.780 --> 03:26:36.780 Skara, quick to get the tweets in! 03:26:36.780 --> 03:26:38.620 Ah buddy, fair enough, fair enough. 03:26:38.620 --> 03:26:42.300 2-0 up, Lyon looking very dominant and you highlighted it. 03:26:42.300 --> 03:26:47.900 Caps trying to hold the line, trying to do what he can, but his small gold lead in lane, the small trade advantage is really starting to fade away. 03:26:47.900 --> 03:26:49.060 Can the tier 3 boots are there? 03:26:49.060 --> 03:26:52.980 There's not even a row up and Saint is still surviving the full combo from Caps. 03:26:52.980 --> 03:26:59.380 So I'm looking for an angle here in the river, really trying to find that game or series changing fight. 03:26:59.380 --> 03:27:06.180 I remember G2 being down 0-2 to TES, and the game really turned on a scuttle crab chase into the turret. 03:27:06.180 --> 03:27:06.680 I hear you, I hear you. 03:27:06.680 --> 03:27:09.880 G2 looking for a similar type moment to pull things back. 03:27:09.880 --> 03:27:12.980 Inspired. Just walk into jungle. Go for that scuttle crab. 03:27:12.980 --> 03:27:17.680 But Rob, don't do that! Come on, Inspired. Tasty, tasty crab right in the river. 03:27:17.680 --> 03:27:19.980 Just walk in, don't auto attack, and then for some reason walk into a tier one. 03:27:19.980 --> 03:27:23.420 We can steal it. We had caps in the hook in that TES game. 03:27:23.420 --> 03:27:26.780 Well, uh, we'll fish it. I don't think you'll do it. 03:27:26.780 --> 03:27:29.500 Yeah, I think we got one of those in this tournament as a EU rep. 03:27:29.500 --> 03:27:31.580 But maybe we'll get two. 03:27:31.580 --> 03:27:34.860 The NA brain cannot resist a crab. 03:27:34.860 --> 03:27:39.580 True. It is our weakness. We love our crabs. 03:27:39.580 --> 03:27:43.820 Dokla has been very patient in this bush. 03:27:43.820 --> 03:27:46.060 I don't think it's... 03:27:46.060 --> 03:27:52.380 The bro law versus the broken blade is especially especially powerful to get that cannon. 03:27:53.100 --> 03:27:57.100 Okay, a bit of a poke. Yeah, just cheating some experience still in survival mode against this 03:27:57.100 --> 03:28:00.940 Jase. I mean broken blades. Jase has been able to accrue a 500 gold advantage for himself and 03:28:00.940 --> 03:28:05.900 that's after absorbing that one game. So really trying to just slowly chip away at this game 03:28:06.460 --> 03:28:12.860 before he arrives for the poke. Scumon here for the cover, but why am I bringing more members 03:28:12.860 --> 03:28:17.460 That they are, a few more opposition against the walls, so the Cosmic Binding won't do much here, but he's just getting poked. 03:28:17.860 --> 03:28:20.960 It's a bit of damage back on the Isle's quick magical journey, takes him out. 03:28:21.060 --> 03:28:26.560 There's this constant thorn in the side of G2 Esports. Isles has been playing this game very proactively. 03:28:26.560 --> 03:28:30.260 I know you guys are like, I don't know, we could have like, some kills to go here, we could have like, some other stuff to go here. 03:28:30.260 --> 03:28:33.260 But overall, his impact in this game, incredibly positive. 03:28:33.260 --> 03:28:37.760 And with those kills, you want all of the damage so that you get the kill for sure anyway. 03:28:37.760 --> 03:28:38.260 Yep, yep. 03:28:38.260 --> 03:28:44.400 We're close, yeah, if one of those kills does not get, you know, you actually secure it, then you're way more heartbroken, so 03:28:45.160 --> 03:28:48.120 Let's take a look because he's on us on a good power spike, too 03:28:48.120 --> 03:28:52.400 You know, it does get his once bloods on out for a bar even with a nurse for the damage apart 03:28:52.840 --> 03:28:57.080 Still very powerful there and this mccails at the ready 03:28:57.640 --> 03:29:02.640 To try and deal with that CC from G2 when they go for the big play 03:29:02.640 --> 03:29:08.680 It's so nice for Lyon to be able to have Mikael's for your trundle and Olaf having his own ultimate to go CC immune 03:29:08.680 --> 03:29:13.160 So their frontline can really really be difficult for G2 to solve 03:29:13.200 --> 03:29:18.080 Yeah, but Lyon's got to be really careful with how they approach the Lulu Yunnar with the current power spikes 03:29:18.080 --> 03:29:19.080 They can go beast mode 03:29:19.080 --> 03:29:23.560 They have the art and sensor the Yunnar art the Lulu alt and really try and run over fight 03:29:23.560 --> 03:29:28.140 Especially if Schumann finds a good engage and prioritizing the art and sensor means there's that much more pressure on Han 03:29:28.140 --> 03:29:31.080 So I'm gonna play incredibly clean if that bard binding lands 03:29:31.080 --> 03:29:33.080 There's no Mikaels to save him. 03:29:33.080 --> 03:29:34.660 Tower getting chunked out here. 03:29:34.660 --> 03:29:36.960 Four members of G2 committing. 03:29:36.960 --> 03:29:38.200 St. Pushing in the top lane. 03:29:38.200 --> 03:29:39.200 It's Jumon taking a tower shot. 03:29:39.200 --> 03:29:41.120 Now it's Dokla, who's gonna run in. 03:29:41.120 --> 03:29:42.160 And then immediately run back, 03:29:42.160 --> 03:29:43.240 opting out of the fight, 03:29:43.240 --> 03:29:45.540 but the tower still stands for an extra second 03:29:45.540 --> 03:29:47.200 as the wave will finally crash. 03:29:47.200 --> 03:29:48.880 So they are gonna continue their split push. 03:29:48.880 --> 03:29:51.800 It's topside for Lyon and mid lane. 03:29:51.800 --> 03:29:53.580 Four G2 has broken blade. 03:29:53.580 --> 03:29:55.380 Gets his way up to the tower as well. 03:29:55.380 --> 03:29:57.180 And I think that it's just gonna be Lyon 03:29:57.180 --> 03:29:59.380 sacrificing this dragon for sure. 03:29:59.380 --> 03:30:04.580 There's no way for Santa to get down there, so they want that side lane rise to become that priority 03:30:04.580 --> 03:30:07.540 They can open this map up get those outer towers down 03:30:07.540 --> 03:30:13.300 And I think that was a pretty big power spike for g2 to play off of with the unara and the Lulu 03:30:13.620 --> 03:30:18.740 Overloading that bot side so they get the turret they get the drake and it's just lion doing a pretty classic line play 03:30:19.140 --> 03:30:22.480 Cross-mapping to try and get sainting a little bit ahead so we can put push later in the game 03:30:22.480 --> 03:30:28.280 saying 202 not the biggest gold lead against Caps, but definitely going to be a terror, 03:30:28.280 --> 03:30:32.640 especially against so many short range champions on the top side of the map. 03:30:32.640 --> 03:30:35.120 See if Caps and the rest of YouTube can keep him at our side. 03:30:35.120 --> 03:30:38.320 Yeah, Caps is doing a trailing play at the moment. 03:30:38.320 --> 03:30:40.920 They're kind of expecting a move from Lyon. 03:30:40.920 --> 03:30:44.480 And so when you keep the center in the fog of war there waiting to see if you can get 03:30:44.480 --> 03:30:49.960 a stun from long range, if anybody went to attack broken blade there, they're covering 03:30:49.960 --> 03:30:51.400 their bases there. 03:30:51.400 --> 03:30:56.160 They're really trying to guess at Inspired's game planning, which has been very difficult 03:30:56.160 --> 03:30:57.920 for G2 this series. 03:30:57.920 --> 03:31:02.840 The Inspired had the two-camp gank bot, which really set the tone for this game, and has 03:31:02.840 --> 03:31:06.960 just been trying to keep Rzurka ahead the entire time afterwards. 03:31:06.960 --> 03:31:09.400 The Brav had to flash away from Isle's there. 03:31:09.400 --> 03:31:12.200 Brav losing that flash, pretty devastating. 03:31:12.200 --> 03:31:16.320 Again, the pillar from Inspired, excellent pick tool, especially because of that extra 03:31:16.320 --> 03:31:20.080 bit of movement speed from the Scuttle Crab from the Trundle W, running in to set that 03:31:20.080 --> 03:31:25.840 behind. Fallen could be there too. Have not really seen that whole 5v5 fight. Either side 03:31:25.840 --> 03:31:30.880 wanting to fully commit, but Lyon getting first setup means G2 very unlikely to contest. Again, 03:31:30.880 --> 03:31:35.360 a lot of range with the Syndra, Jace. When you have to move into that fog of war, you are incredibly 03:31:35.360 --> 03:31:38.400 vulnerable. Skumon the only one to get face checking. He's going to check with his face. 03:31:39.360 --> 03:31:44.160 And now he sees nothing as Lyon immediately back off. And I do think Lyon is not looking for fights 03:31:44.160 --> 03:31:48.720 at this particular stage of the game. I think you want two, two and a half items on Dokla if you're 03:31:48.720 --> 03:31:52.600 you're really gonna force, but you also want your Caitlyn to have an actual item advantage 03:31:52.600 --> 03:31:54.400 over the Unara to show the gold link. 03:31:54.400 --> 03:31:58.000 He's just sitting on collector end components, whereas Hansama is essentially as strong within 03:31:58.000 --> 03:32:02.040 stronger because of the Ardent Sensor Lulu, so this is a state of the game where G2 can 03:32:02.040 --> 03:32:05.440 actually look to make some practice plays because their items give him a lot of power. 03:32:05.440 --> 03:32:10.480 Yeah, I'm definitely looking at Scubant here on the Wukong with Flash and ult both available. 03:32:10.480 --> 03:32:17.800 Level 11 spike for him, let's see if they can find that pick because mid lane is definitely 03:32:17.800 --> 03:32:22.000 on everybody's radar over there as Isles does pass through the G2 vision. 03:32:22.000 --> 03:32:25.100 They're going to collapse and not open any opportunities. 03:32:25.100 --> 03:32:29.900 But you are looking at the flashless Lulu as a possible hit target. 03:32:29.900 --> 03:32:33.000 So have to remain very safe in this vision coverage. 03:32:33.200 --> 03:32:33.400 Yep. 03:32:33.600 --> 03:32:35.200 Flashes up across the board for Lyon. 03:32:35.600 --> 03:32:38.100 On the opposing side, we take a look at the coin base gold grind. 03:32:38.100 --> 03:32:40.000 Of course, Hans-Sammem pretty far Berserker. 03:32:40.000 --> 03:32:42.500 Keep in mind that's with the coal gold as well. 03:32:42.500 --> 03:32:44.400 So Berserker really had his number in the landing base. 03:32:44.400 --> 03:32:47.500 Hans-Sammem doing what he can to scrape together some gold to get to that second item. 03:32:47.500 --> 03:32:51.980 And that goal turns into meaningful power with the Infinity Edge being completed here forehand. 03:32:52.480 --> 03:32:57.520 So, sidelines being dealt with, Saint's able to get the topside as well. 03:32:57.520 --> 03:33:00.080 So that's objective number one for line with this comp. 03:33:00.080 --> 03:33:04.760 You know, get those sidelines nice and open and then they can return to the rift arrow here. 03:33:05.260 --> 03:33:06.920 Again, really good vision set up. 03:33:06.920 --> 03:33:11.920 They're doing their due diligence here, getting all of the information prepped 03:33:12.160 --> 03:33:15.200 and then securely go take the objective. 03:33:15.200 --> 03:33:20.080 They didn't have a reason to risk it earlier on, they back off, they give it the time. 03:33:20.080 --> 03:33:22.200 They had to take it though, it was about to de-spot. 03:33:22.200 --> 03:33:23.800 Yeah, they had to rush it. 03:33:23.800 --> 03:33:24.800 They're there! 03:33:24.800 --> 03:33:25.800 Oh, control. 03:33:25.800 --> 03:33:26.800 Control. 03:33:26.800 --> 03:33:27.800 Rushing the objective down. 03:33:27.800 --> 03:33:30.400 They're flying very much in their comfort zone here. 03:33:30.400 --> 03:33:35.400 Again, we highlighted how important Han Sama can be when we get to the later points of 03:33:35.400 --> 03:33:36.400 the game. 03:33:36.400 --> 03:33:37.400 Has the Fiend under multi-second item. 03:33:37.400 --> 03:33:41.840 Certainly not as powerful when you look at raw value as an IE, but when he ults, he is 03:33:41.840 --> 03:33:45.980 gonna get that immediate burst, that ability to potentially shred through a target. 03:33:45.980 --> 03:33:49.620 Doku the other person we have to keep our eye on because while he suffers in the 1v1, 03:33:49.620 --> 03:33:55.140 will eventually be a big problem for G2 Esports, especially as he can just build a lot of armor 03:33:55.140 --> 03:33:59.620 and if Cap's burns his cooldowns on the Olaf, it feels like a winning formula for Lion. 03:33:59.620 --> 03:34:05.060 It is gonna be interesting because G2, they're very fragile, but they have so much damage. 03:34:05.060 --> 03:34:08.420 I think the term glass cannon is applicable. 03:34:08.420 --> 03:34:12.700 If you just kill the Olaf, then you don't have to CC him. 03:34:12.700 --> 03:34:20.860 So if the timings aren't correct on the Engages, then you certainly could have a lot of damage. 03:34:20.860 --> 03:34:25.740 And especially if Jace does get some poke damage ahead of time, there definitely are 03:34:25.740 --> 03:34:27.260 some opportunities there. 03:34:27.260 --> 03:34:30.860 But again, I'm going to be pretty worried about what can Ialscrate with this Bard ahead 03:34:30.860 --> 03:34:31.860 of time. 03:34:31.860 --> 03:34:33.740 Maybe they burn some flashes or something, and then it's harder to operate. 03:34:33.740 --> 03:34:37.260 I do really feel like Lion has to flank for these teamfights. 03:34:37.260 --> 03:34:42.160 If it's Doklaid just trying to run through Jayce, Cinder, Yunar, Lulu, he's dead. 03:34:42.160 --> 03:34:43.480 I don't think that's the approach to Teamfight. 03:34:43.480 --> 03:34:47.560 But Lyon, historically, has been really good at finding flanks on Teamfight. 03:34:47.560 --> 03:34:51.720 So it's Saint finding an angle, most likely, and then once they distract them, 03:34:51.720 --> 03:34:53.000 that's when I feel like Doklaid was trying to win. 03:34:53.000 --> 03:34:54.520 Saint is on the flank now. 03:34:55.260 --> 03:34:56.860 Mid lane tower potentially in trouble. 03:34:56.860 --> 03:34:57.820 Saint coming around the corner. 03:34:57.820 --> 03:35:00.260 G2 realize they have to back away. 03:35:01.400 --> 03:35:04.860 The play from Lyon, breaking open mid lane tier one, opens up so much more. 03:35:04.860 --> 03:35:08.120 The map is too much is so quick to jump in and stop anyone providing on the Herald 03:35:08.120 --> 03:35:08.920 He smites it though 03:35:08.920 --> 03:35:12.480 So if lion tries to burst this dragon they might just go for it at the very least 03:35:12.920 --> 03:35:16.340 G2 would have to approach through these Caitlyn traps. They're not gonna rush it though 03:35:16.340 --> 03:35:21.220 They'd love to try and find a fight of G2 moves in G2 playing for mid prior. They've already lost bot cryo 03:35:22.560 --> 03:35:28.020 They're trying to get control of mid before they start to base jet ultimate gonna connect on the rock inspired moving in a nice 03:35:28.020 --> 03:35:30.980 Pillow to isolate cat don't play it's the Tana slash over the wall 03:35:30.980 --> 03:35:36.420 Ragnarok is in the back line, they can't quite pass the DPS check, and he manages to make it out. 03:35:36.420 --> 03:35:44.580 Saitin pursuit as is inspired. G2 being pushed back, four members still standing, support traded for Jungler, but it favors Lyon. 03:35:44.580 --> 03:35:52.260 Incredibly close there, just the one for one, with that starting with a rob, literally stepping on a trap. 03:35:52.260 --> 03:35:59.980 Eating, or excuse me, getting barred ultimate into a trap combination, and so if you get hit with a barred ultimate, it's guaranteed Kaila trap. 03:35:59.980 --> 03:36:02.580 Look, Preserker puts it down now, so there's going to be so much damage. 03:36:02.580 --> 03:36:05.580 Pillar to separate, Inspire's going to give him a bite, and they think, 03:36:05.580 --> 03:36:08.180 ah, probably going to be able to finish that kill, but he survives, 03:36:08.180 --> 03:36:10.380 and then the counter on the other side. 03:36:10.380 --> 03:36:12.580 I'm really shocked that LeBron was able to win, 03:36:12.580 --> 03:36:15.380 but it's because the counter engaged there by Stumon, 03:36:15.380 --> 03:36:20.580 who ends up giving his life, just pulled the attention of the fight to him. 03:36:20.580 --> 03:36:24.980 They end up with a one for one, Dracoast, the dragon taken before hand for Lyon. 03:36:24.980 --> 03:36:25.900 It's a good spot to be in. 03:36:25.900 --> 03:36:28.380 Rumble to the top side, not satisfied with a one for one. 03:36:28.380 --> 03:36:30.380 Caps now in trouble, tries to get away. 03:36:30.380 --> 03:36:31.380 The magical journey is there. 03:36:31.380 --> 03:36:33.380 Wants to get some damage down before he drops G2. 03:36:33.380 --> 03:36:35.380 Now I feel like they have to make this play happen. 03:36:35.380 --> 03:36:37.380 If you want things better, if it starts to back away. 03:36:37.380 --> 03:36:38.380 But it might be too late. 03:36:38.380 --> 03:36:40.380 Lyon pushing in this top wave. 03:36:40.380 --> 03:36:42.380 Poise to take down the tier 2 tower. 03:36:42.380 --> 03:36:44.380 Probably just the kill onto Caps. 03:36:44.380 --> 03:36:47.380 Lyon does have 5 people here, 03:36:47.380 --> 03:36:50.380 but they've used most of their crucial cooldowns. 03:36:50.380 --> 03:36:52.380 I wonder if they think about the bearing here. 03:36:52.380 --> 03:36:54.380 They have Ragnarok, they have tempered fate. 03:36:54.380 --> 03:36:56.380 Caitlyn is strong. 03:36:56.380 --> 03:36:59.620 might feel like too tall of a task but if LeBron gets caught it certainly won't 03:36:59.620 --> 03:37:02.260 lock down his air. Dope ready to go to the back line he's got the ragged rock 03:37:02.260 --> 03:37:05.460 ready to go and he's starting to run back to the remaining members of G2. 03:37:05.460 --> 03:37:09.580 Skumann down, jungler out of the equation but the low health bars likely mean 03:37:09.580 --> 03:37:13.940 Lyon cannot start the Baron. Another successful hit there for Lyon. They 03:37:13.940 --> 03:37:18.020 pick another kill. The first one on the caps he had to flash because Skumann 03:37:18.020 --> 03:37:21.060 in the fight had focused him, had trundle-pillared and got in the flash early. 03:37:21.060 --> 03:37:25.180 They get that pick, they turn to one more inside the jungle. Slowly but surely 03:37:25.180 --> 03:37:28.860 they're adding little bits of extra gold to their coffers. 03:37:28.860 --> 03:37:30.860 Yeah, Lyon throwing lots of jabs here. 03:37:30.860 --> 03:37:33.580 You can see knowing that he's flashed as they get LeBron. 03:37:33.580 --> 03:37:35.580 But, Steuman finds a good angle. 03:37:35.580 --> 03:37:37.180 It's just no one is there to follow up. 03:37:37.180 --> 03:37:40.460 Paps was dead, so they didn't have that last bit of damage 03:37:40.460 --> 03:37:42.860 to cut through either Isles or Dokla. 03:37:42.860 --> 03:37:44.220 Then they have to retreat afterwards. 03:37:44.220 --> 03:37:46.860 It's a- I'm still gonna say it's a very tense game, 03:37:46.860 --> 03:37:50.140 because if Lyon's getting these, like, single kill fights, 03:37:50.140 --> 03:37:51.980 but if the Unar-Lubu get going, 03:37:51.980 --> 03:37:54.700 they could run through a teamfight on the back end. 03:37:55.180 --> 03:37:57.420 Let's get a bit scary. Iles playing with fire. 03:37:57.420 --> 03:37:58.620 More damage on the opposing team. 03:37:58.620 --> 03:37:59.980 The more risky that kind of play gets. 03:37:59.980 --> 03:38:01.980 But I think what's going to make it so frustrating, Jack, 03:38:01.980 --> 03:38:04.540 is that we're probably going to see a rapid fire cannon. 03:38:04.540 --> 03:38:07.220 And a single Caitlyn auto, taking out half of Hans on his health 03:38:07.220 --> 03:38:09.940 before a fight even starts, just does not set up G2 for success, 03:38:09.940 --> 03:38:12.020 does not set them up on the right foot. 03:38:12.020 --> 03:38:14.940 And again, the Olaf only getting scarier. 03:38:14.940 --> 03:38:16.060 He's on one and a half items. 03:38:16.060 --> 03:38:19.500 And every time he flashes in, he demands the attention of G2. 03:38:19.500 --> 03:38:21.020 They have to try to burst him down. 03:38:21.020 --> 03:38:23.340 And it does feel like Lyon is currently 03:38:23.340 --> 03:38:24.700 playing with a sense of calm. 03:38:24.700 --> 03:38:30.220 So they're taking the small wins and they're just slowly accumulating them to Drake's right now next Drake in two minutes 03:38:30.220 --> 03:38:35.860 They have the three items on Caitlyn as you mentioned and they can kind of play around flash cooldowns from pillars 03:38:35.860 --> 03:38:39.820 Did they land a bard ultimate new trap and they're gonna take those small wins all day long? 03:38:39.820 --> 03:38:46.260 I want to see how G2 can solve their face checking issue because their comp is so fragile with so much damage 03:38:46.580 --> 03:38:49.100 Vision is such a premium resource 03:38:49.100 --> 03:38:55.060 We saw last time around you know with LeBrav trying to face check the bush and then getting barred ultied and being a 03:38:55.400 --> 03:38:58.340 Combo target. It's even hard for skuman 03:38:58.340 --> 03:39:04.340 You know when skuman is left alone there as the the point man getting burst down in a couple of these fights 03:39:04.340 --> 03:39:10.180 Yeah, they're gonna need to sync up and like rotate the cooldowns on their scryers from their trinkets 03:39:10.220 --> 03:39:13.980 You know use everything at their disposal and center combos with long 03:39:13.980 --> 03:39:20.180 Power, Nile's still living. Lock it there, cap's nice rock about to get out from the temperate fate. 03:39:20.940 --> 03:39:23.300 Nile, a very positive trade of cooldowns. 03:39:23.900 --> 03:39:29.220 Yeah, man, Lockett really eats up that Cinder Altem right there. It felt like he just stopped taking damage 03:39:29.600 --> 03:39:34.400 when he pressed it right there. And they're fighting over the Smith Lane and to your point, Kobe, like unless G2 is set up first, 03:39:34.400 --> 03:39:39.460 how do they really get through any of those tanks to trundle or roll off? The poke will kind of do nothing to that. 03:39:39.460 --> 03:39:43.940 Yeah, Vision is difficult to get, but they have long-range J-Spoke and 03:39:43.940 --> 03:39:49.500 Sinja stuns can set up big comebacks. Look at this, you've got the Olaf waiting in 03:39:49.500 --> 03:39:53.940 the wings there. Doku constantly looking for these flank angles. He's gonna back off. 03:39:53.940 --> 03:39:57.620 Oh good fair. You can see G2 playing towards the top side of the river because that is where they have Vision. 03:39:57.620 --> 03:40:00.220 That's where they can guarantee they won't get flanked from. Now trying to push in 03:40:00.220 --> 03:40:03.980 towards the bottom side river, but playing very cautiously. Knowing that 03:40:03.980 --> 03:40:07.580 someone could be lurking in the darkness, luckily they spot Doku. And now it's 03:40:07.580 --> 03:40:11.660 line who have to be a little bit careful on the approach caps once again tries to find this guy of the week 03:40:11.660 --> 03:40:16.260 But an excellent 90 caliber net from Berserker stops any potential play scary moment there 03:40:16.260 --> 03:40:18.480 G2 had a good position, but they've used their cooldowns and now 03:40:18.940 --> 03:40:24.400 Line is retake the river a bit this bottom is big. It's all they know they have to mark the flanker 03:40:24.400 --> 03:40:28.420 But can they kill him don't go waiting for broken play now all things looking for the right on broken play running for his life 03:40:28.420 --> 03:40:29.760 Is he gonna be fast enough? 03:40:29.760 --> 03:40:33.580 Do you want also backing away down a level don't look reading so much space? 03:40:33.580 --> 03:40:36.840 Yeah, and the rest of line you can see them leaking from the mid lane 03:40:36.840 --> 03:40:41.580 They're like we will support you and don't look keeps his ult up by continually auto attacking there 03:40:41.580 --> 03:40:44.460 He fights off scoom on as well got a decent amount of damage done 03:40:44.900 --> 03:40:50.800 Olaf ultimate will be down though, which is a big big tool. Let's see about this 03:40:50.880 --> 03:40:55.860 Yeah, I'm like you two are gonna seed the dragon. They have to give it 03:40:55.860 --> 03:40:57.740 You can see the poke that berserk if you get down 03:40:58.300 --> 03:41:01.940 They basically broken blade was completely chunked out and burned his flash 03:41:01.940 --> 03:41:08.920 so they have to concede the Drake after Dokla just takes on two such a good position for Lyon to be in only need inspired to 03:41:08.920 --> 03:41:11.640 Focus the Drake the rest of them can fight for space around the Baron and now it's LeBron who's 03:41:12.080 --> 03:41:15.120 Instantaneously forced to flash but now he's got nothing for the temperate fate 03:41:15.120 --> 03:41:19.200 She's you're gonna do with a cannon try to peel him away because her for his soul damn strong 03:41:19.820 --> 03:41:24.760 Bard old Indicate land trap in the headshots and that's another pit 03:41:24.760 --> 03:41:31.880 That's another kill G2. They constantly have to respect Bard old he's in realm warps and now the Baron Jesus gonna TP and I feel 03:41:31.880 --> 03:41:33.880 like you're gonna have to try and stop this. 03:41:33.880 --> 03:41:35.440 IE is doing ready, can you hit a potty block? 03:41:35.440 --> 03:41:36.280 Temper turning. 03:41:37.560 --> 03:41:39.000 Scumon ready to move in. 03:41:39.000 --> 03:41:40.000 Cyclone there. 03:41:40.000 --> 03:41:41.240 Can he win the 50-50? 03:41:41.240 --> 03:41:42.360 Lion aren't gonna give him the angle. 03:41:42.360 --> 03:41:43.960 Backing off at 3K. 03:41:45.640 --> 03:41:47.680 Lion holding the Baron. 03:41:47.680 --> 03:41:48.720 IE is getting lower. 03:41:48.720 --> 03:41:51.240 Berserker waiting over the wall, ready to go! 03:41:51.240 --> 03:41:52.800 And step forward, chunking out, Caps. 03:41:52.800 --> 03:41:53.960 Caps is about to die. 03:41:53.960 --> 03:41:55.880 Berserker solo killing Caps. 03:41:55.880 --> 03:41:58.000 A little support from IE's. 03:41:58.000 --> 03:42:00.720 Lion determined to take the objective. 03:42:00.720 --> 03:42:02.720 Joklah ready to fight. 03:42:03.720 --> 03:42:06.220 Pazerker, Hot Summer wants to make the differences, 03:42:06.220 --> 03:42:07.320 might not be enough. 03:42:07.320 --> 03:42:08.720 Locked down on the broken blade. 03:42:08.720 --> 03:42:10.620 Pazerker set to take over, 03:42:10.620 --> 03:42:13.120 sending G2 to Valhalla. 03:42:13.120 --> 03:42:16.720 Lyon get the Baron, and then get the fight. 03:42:16.720 --> 03:42:19.420 The patience from Lyon on that Baron, 03:42:19.420 --> 03:42:20.820 are you kidding me, Dracos? 03:42:20.820 --> 03:42:25.120 They keep it leashed at 3K for what seems like an eternity, 03:42:25.120 --> 03:42:28.120 and they're gonna make this series short. 03:42:28.120 --> 03:42:31.680 The trust that they have in each other to play that sequence out of it, 03:42:31.680 --> 03:42:33.120 and they land another Bartle! 03:42:33.120 --> 03:42:34.680 They're fate, Tentford. 03:42:34.680 --> 03:42:37.380 But all they can hope for is another two and a half seconds in this one. 03:42:37.380 --> 03:42:40.480 LeBron falls, Lyon dominating! 03:42:41.820 --> 03:42:47.560 Caps is going to respawn, so I don't think this is going to be the push for the Nexus just yet, 03:42:47.560 --> 03:42:50.920 but Lyon have taken a huge lead right here. 03:42:51.720 --> 03:42:54.420 Isles, my man! 03:42:54.420 --> 03:42:58.080 Pick after pick after pick after pick on this Bard. 03:42:58.080 --> 03:43:01.920 LeBron cannot avoid the tempered face from Isle. 03:43:01.920 --> 03:43:05.320 She's landing every single one, but the key point in this fight 03:43:05.320 --> 03:43:08.620 is Berserker on the side here into caps. 03:43:08.620 --> 03:43:12.020 The Caitlyn marks over, gets the headshot, lands the AWP, 03:43:12.020 --> 03:43:14.860 and they just hold this Baron at 3,000 the entire time! 03:43:14.860 --> 03:43:17.560 Yeah, they just let Berserker get to work while they're staring him down. 03:43:17.560 --> 03:43:20.400 They didn't care about the Baron damaging them inside the pit. 03:43:20.400 --> 03:43:23.640 And then once they know they have the advantage, 03:43:23.640 --> 03:43:26.440 once Caps is down, they go for the play, 03:43:26.440 --> 03:43:30.040 And even Doakla survives on the bottom side. 03:43:30.040 --> 03:43:34.520 Every member of Lion there to see the triumph. 03:43:34.520 --> 03:43:37.400 Man, the passive healing from Trundle there for Inspire 03:43:37.400 --> 03:43:42.200 allows him to take so much damage and heal up at every subsequent kill. 03:43:42.200 --> 03:43:48.120 Now, four full item, Caitlyn, with the Bloodthirster to immune the poke from Broken Blade. 03:43:48.120 --> 03:43:53.560 You hit him, maybe you get the shield.

Will they try to extend the play? 03:45:18.360 --> 03:45:23.040 A broken blade does have Teleport caps and Teleport, but they've got nowhere to use them. 03:45:23.040 --> 03:45:26.600 No flank boards, Lyon are going to make their exit. 03:45:26.600 --> 03:45:27.920 No need to rush now. 03:45:27.920 --> 03:45:33.320 They're up 17 kills to 3, 9,000 gold, and two Nexus turrets. 03:45:33.320 --> 03:45:39.400 Saint gets dangerously low, but Berserker continues to be exceptional in this game. 03:45:39.400 --> 03:45:40.920 Headshot after headshot. 03:45:40.920 --> 03:45:43.820 I think it would have been pretty risky for them to finish the Nexus there with how low 03:45:43.820 --> 03:45:47.520 Saint was, so they're not trying to give T2 away back in this game with the Infernal 03:45:47.520 --> 03:45:49.480 soul coming up in 15 seconds. 03:45:49.480 --> 03:45:53.080 Exceptional bottom lane, you know, as does Iles. 03:45:53.080 --> 03:45:54.080 Iles, man. 03:45:54.080 --> 03:45:55.080 Iles. 03:45:55.080 --> 03:45:58.600 Your boy deserves that 2,000 gold lead that he has. 03:45:58.600 --> 03:46:03.400 Iles fell under so much criticism, spending a couple years on dignitas, losing a bunch 03:46:03.400 --> 03:46:05.560 of games when this roster got put together. 03:46:05.560 --> 03:46:09.320 People said, well, it's nice that they have inspired him, Rezurker, but Iles, and he's 03:46:09.320 --> 03:46:11.560 done nothing but improve. 03:46:11.560 --> 03:46:18.040 champion, spring split champion and potentially MSI lower bracket finalist. 03:46:18.040 --> 03:46:24.280 Yeah throughout the year in LCS improved so much. Stumbled at the beginning of 03:46:24.280 --> 03:46:29.800 this tournament but gets right back up there when it matters and now Lyon here 03:46:29.800 --> 03:46:34.200 trying to close the game. They have the infernal soul, the extra damage and 03:46:34.200 --> 03:46:36.740 We cast our cars down. He goes 03:46:37.680 --> 03:46:43.680 Well done gentlemen. Tell me more tell me more inspire incredible year incredible player. He's so good 03:46:43.880 --> 03:46:50.860 Okay, it's not gonna work. He runs our region does he triodes Q-bond last MSI. I don't know this is that was not great 03:46:51.040 --> 03:46:55.660 That's gonna go away this game for sure and we know G2. You got to remember 03:46:56.920 --> 03:47:02.840 They never give up they have two reverse sweeps one in the LEC playoffs one so far here at 03:47:02.840 --> 03:47:07.800 At MSI, they would need to pull a rabbit out of a hat, though, here at Great Ghosts. 03:47:07.800 --> 03:47:12.160 Beth, they would, and they would also need to keep their midlaner alive, as caps now being halted. 03:47:12.160 --> 03:47:16.200 The ace, oh my god, Berserker! Legendary! 03:47:16.200 --> 03:47:18.940 I think that more than makes up for a little fumble from Isles. 03:47:18.940 --> 03:47:24.700 Midlaner down, so much of the range, threat the range, engage now, removed as Lyon, set up in the bot lane. 03:47:24.700 --> 03:47:27.600 They look to be just taking the tower. 03:47:27.600 --> 03:47:31.560 Not gonna risk it, though, again. So calm, so controlled. 03:47:31.560 --> 03:47:33.960 do not want to risk anything against G2. 03:47:34.960 --> 03:47:37.760 Alright, here comes G2, the broken blade on the pulse. 03:47:37.760 --> 03:47:39.660 Where am I going in? Hansama chunked out. 03:47:39.660 --> 03:47:42.160 Has to stay out of range of Berserker, needs to continue to back step. 03:47:42.160 --> 03:47:43.260 Aldi there, but it's Sait! 03:47:43.260 --> 03:47:44.160 Into the back line! 03:47:44.160 --> 03:47:44.760 Spinning! 03:47:44.760 --> 03:47:45.660 Shuts down! 03:47:45.660 --> 03:47:46.760 A disaster from Sait! 03:47:46.760 --> 03:47:48.560 Lyon now might need to complete the play. 03:47:48.560 --> 03:47:49.960 Forced to greater advantage. 03:47:49.960 --> 03:47:51.260 Tempur-Fight does not connect. 03:47:51.260 --> 03:47:52.760 Hansama retreating. 03:47:52.760 --> 03:47:55.660 Lyon, do they want to go for the end here? 03:47:55.660 --> 03:47:56.360 I don't think so. 03:47:56.360 --> 03:48:00.260 It looked like I could see Inspire saying either calm down, calm down, fall back, fall back, 03:48:00.260 --> 03:48:03.020 because that was a very hyphy played by safe there. 03:48:03.020 --> 03:48:04.320 He saw the victory. 03:48:04.320 --> 03:48:05.300 Ryze ult's in. 03:48:05.300 --> 03:48:07.060 Doesn't get to press his zonias. 03:48:07.060 --> 03:48:10.500 He had an amazing zonias in the victor game last game. 03:48:10.500 --> 03:48:12.160 Doesn't, I think it was just a CC chain. 03:48:12.160 --> 03:48:13.000 Couldn't get it off. 03:48:13.000 --> 03:48:16.100 We have had many Ryze realm orbs at this tournament 03:48:16.100 --> 03:48:18.700 that have been delivering people to their deaths. 03:48:18.700 --> 03:48:21.540 If Han's on the steps up here, it gets one shot. 03:48:21.540 --> 03:48:22.480 I don't know if he's still lurking. 03:48:22.480 --> 03:48:23.480 Observers, dang you. 03:48:23.480 --> 03:48:25.140 You are so tricky. 03:48:25.140 --> 03:48:28.420 But there is a murder machine waiting in that brush. 03:48:28.420 --> 03:48:29.020 It's a risky play. 03:48:29.020 --> 03:48:33.480 He's probably recalling here. He's recall observers, please. No, he's in there, buddy 03:48:34.620 --> 03:48:39.480 They're both in there walking mid parents. I'm trying to force my kids who are gonna do it 03:48:40.360 --> 03:48:42.360 They're just wandered in 03:48:42.700 --> 03:48:45.020 objective bounty claims and I think 03:48:45.460 --> 03:48:48.700 You we take those look at what we can at this point 03:48:48.700 --> 03:48:58.500 You certainly do Draco's the hope the fuel for that possibility of another reverse sweep another comeback at MSI 03:48:59.020 --> 03:49:00.500 It's still very far away. 03:49:00.500 --> 03:49:03.300 We talked about the TES, Scuttle Crab and Midlane. 03:49:03.300 --> 03:49:06.300 It could be the St. Relmorph into the base. 03:49:06.300 --> 03:49:11.100 Those are the types of moments that can turn series around. 03:49:11.100 --> 03:49:12.860 Lyon still has Zoll. 03:49:12.860 --> 03:49:14.100 They still have the Goldy. 03:49:14.100 --> 03:49:16.900 They still have a problem in the bot lane with Preserker. 03:49:16.900 --> 03:49:18.940 But the hope is there. 03:49:18.940 --> 03:49:21.580 Giving them something at the very least time in this game. 03:49:21.580 --> 03:49:24.180 Two minutes where they can certainly hold their waves. 03:49:24.180 --> 03:49:27.420 Stalf of this inhibitor to respawn won't be up as the Baron fades, 03:49:27.420 --> 03:49:34.720 but gets them closer to potentially contesting the elder that's spawning in three minutes the difficulty of course lion still very far ahead 03:49:34.720 --> 03:49:40.400 You highlighted it so well the Zercher approaching that six-cytem boots are already there can sell his door and soon 03:49:40.400 --> 03:49:42.080 He's only getting scarier 03:49:42.080 --> 03:49:46.040 The Zercher is very strong that Hansama has four full items and a Lulu in his back pocket 03:49:46.040 --> 03:49:50.240 So Hansama very strong as well. Have to be careful. They're wandering around the traps. They will spot him out 03:49:50.880 --> 03:49:55.320 Inspired keep your eyes on that pillar. That'll be the go-side skumont enough armor not to just 03:49:55.320 --> 03:49:58.980 They're completely deleted best dance though. You can see stalls it a bit 03:49:58.980 --> 03:50:00.780 That's still so much damage from berserker 03:50:00.780 --> 03:50:06.380 I'm absolutely has to respect the team fighting here from the UNR if they stay as the unit doklah constant looking for that angle 03:50:06.380 --> 03:50:09.980 You see cats constantly back-cycling anticipating the doklah can come from the flank 03:50:09.980 --> 03:50:13.380 They know they can't step too far forward either because they don't have a tower there to defend them 03:50:13.660 --> 03:50:20.300 Okay, I mean Jason's poke is cool, but have you seen berserker with a rapid-fire proc? 03:50:20.300 --> 03:50:26.220 Holy, he walks up and he is doing like four, five hundred damage. 03:50:26.220 --> 03:50:30.860 Let's see it when he gets one of those with a headshot and walks up on somebody, it is 03:50:30.860 --> 03:50:33.940 devastating and G2 again, very fragile comp. 03:50:33.940 --> 03:50:36.740 So you can't take too many of those. 03:50:36.740 --> 03:50:38.620 No, you cannot. 03:50:38.620 --> 03:50:41.500 Puts pressure on their poke composition. 03:50:41.500 --> 03:50:45.180 If you can land one of those on a key target to immediately force the engage, which I think 03:50:45.180 --> 03:50:46.900 Lyon are more than comfortable with. 03:50:46.900 --> 03:50:53.900 even just onto Skumon there who is most likely to be the person at the front of the fight. 03:50:53.900 --> 03:50:56.760 We'll see how we're still alive. 03:50:56.760 --> 03:50:58.580 Caps now has his deathcap. 03:50:58.580 --> 03:51:02.300 Four items does not stop for any defensive itemization outside of the mobility the rocket 03:51:02.300 --> 03:51:03.300 belt provides. 03:51:03.300 --> 03:51:06.820 Neverkate once again connecting onto LeBrog. 03:51:06.820 --> 03:51:07.820 No follow up there. 03:51:07.820 --> 03:51:09.700 Caps poking over the wall, chunking out Isle. 03:51:09.700 --> 03:51:11.580 Stops the engage from Lyon critically. 03:51:11.580 --> 03:51:12.580 The damage. 03:51:12.580 --> 03:51:20.220 Lyon really careful not to overcommit like they did in the base earlier, so I mean the game is telling us objective boundings are still up 03:51:20.220 --> 03:51:26.460 So the Lyon is quite a head, but you can see G2 is playing extremely well around this midway to keep the pressure up. 03:51:26.460 --> 03:51:28.460 One more explosive fight. 03:51:28.880 --> 03:51:36.940 So just ended in Lyon's favor. G2 were gonna need multiple things to go their way. 40 seconds on elder playing towards the top side of that river. 03:51:36.940 --> 03:51:37.860 They'll spot out a lot. 03:51:37.860 --> 03:51:40.020 Don't lose a blue trinket, Berserker still standing, 03:51:40.020 --> 03:51:41.900 blasted from skewbond, aspired, still livin' 03:51:41.900 --> 03:51:44.500 in the back line of Stoka, rampaging through 03:51:44.500 --> 03:51:46.260 and getting right back out. 03:51:46.260 --> 03:51:47.660 G2 falling apart of the fight house. 03:51:47.660 --> 03:51:50.100 I haven't done enough of that auto from Berserker! 03:51:50.100 --> 03:51:51.460 It's disgusting! 03:51:51.460 --> 03:51:53.940 Realm War 4, doing sure Broken Blade has no room 03:51:53.940 --> 03:51:55.780 to return to his own base. 03:51:55.780 --> 03:52:00.420 Berserker is too damn good inspired, 03:52:00.420 --> 03:52:03.340 dancing on the graves of Europe. 03:52:03.340 --> 03:52:05.580 Top lane toppled. 03:52:05.580 --> 03:52:12.300 G2 have collapsed and Europe has been gaffed by North America. 03:52:12.300 --> 03:52:20.700 Lyon taking their time, making it look damn good as they sweep G2 out of this tournament. 03:52:20.700 --> 03:52:24.940 Inspired dancing and waving. 03:52:24.940 --> 03:52:30.060 Stepping Europe home. A lot of beef I think. 03:52:30.060 --> 03:52:34.700 Four inspired against G2 as talk openly about how he'd want to play against 03:52:34.700 --> 03:52:40.700 But sends him home from MSI two years in a row with two sweeps. 03:52:40.700 --> 03:52:44.700 And it's just a reminder that no matter how good or how bad the previous series 03:52:44.700 --> 03:52:48.700 either of these teams played, one team can just show up on the day and make all the difference. 03:52:48.700 --> 03:52:53.700 I think every single role, it felt like there was a tangible gap between these two teams, 03:52:53.700 --> 03:52:56.700 which after that Team 1 series, people may not have anticipated, 03:52:56.700 --> 03:53:01.700 but the NA faithful well and truly rewarded an incredible performance from Lyon. 03:53:01.700 --> 03:53:08.780 This team is playing with so much confidence and inspired has full swagger right now 03:53:08.780 --> 03:53:14.740 He is trying to turn himself into the biggest possible feeling, but he is just continuing to win 03:53:15.080 --> 03:53:17.080 He's hushing the crowd 03:53:17.220 --> 03:53:25.760 He's planning the games the well-laid plans here and the well-executed plans from lion on top of it 03:53:26.460 --> 03:53:28.460 G2 a 03:53:28.460 --> 03:53:34.460 A sad goodbye. We'll hold on to the series against T1, but this was not the exit that they were looking for. 03:53:34.460 --> 03:53:39.760 That's enough from us here at the catcher desk. Let's send it over to the analysts to talk about this clean 3-0 from Lyon. 03:53:39.760 --> 03:53:44.460 I've got two words! Let's go! 03:53:46.460 --> 03:53:53.460 Oh my god, they played so well today. It was really, really fun to watch. I mean, pass up to G2. 03:53:53.460 --> 03:53:57.960 They are a great opponent. Obviously today, not their day. I don't want to punch down, 03:53:57.960 --> 03:54:03.880 But oh you can I feel like lion just I'd rather celebrate lion. I feel like they play so well 03:54:04.200 --> 03:54:09.240 And I'm so impressed with the individual stepping up here at the big moments 03:54:09.560 --> 03:54:16.640 Isles had an incredible series, you know, I think that was one of the big shockers is coming into this people had said LeBrov myself included 03:54:16.640 --> 03:54:18.640 Played insane against T1 03:54:18.880 --> 03:54:24.040 But Isles was having more of an impact and lions preparation. I think was stellar 03:54:24.040 --> 03:54:30.120 They were able to set up matchups where Isles could really thrive in the bot lane Ezreal Karma, Caitlyn Bard, 03:54:30.120 --> 03:54:35.560 Doklau was such a big playmaker and that man on your screen. 03:54:35.560 --> 03:54:41.440 Once again he does it two years in a row against G2, two sweeps. 03:54:41.440 --> 03:54:47.880 It is inspired once again not the same teammate standing by his side but he keeps on beating us off. 03:54:47.880 --> 03:54:52.140 Yeah, I have no words for how good this guy is and for how good he is at 03:54:52.720 --> 03:54:59.720 Helping his team shine because I feel like every lion member today had something to show you've talked about aisles 03:55:00.120 --> 03:55:05.340 Honestly props to them because they kept on ramping up throughout the entire tournament short you too didn't show up 03:55:05.340 --> 03:55:12.640 But this lion team has been amazing. Yeah, and I think you saw what makes inspired so formidable in every single game 03:55:12.640 --> 03:55:17.400 Right like game one he played super patient. They dragged out the pace of the game 03:55:17.400 --> 03:55:24.900 He wasn't really on the map early next game adjusts is super super active on the map game three 03:55:25.000 --> 03:55:29.280 He's doing an insane wraparound gang super early bot lane 03:55:29.280 --> 03:55:36.600 He adjusted every single time based on where the lane state was where their compositions were and we see this all the time 03:55:36.600 --> 03:55:43.700 This happened every playoff run that he's in. He always adjusts so well to his opponents 03:55:43.700 --> 03:55:48.780 It does feel like every single member just outperform G2 though 03:55:48.780 --> 03:55:53.500 Like it did not matter what part of the map I looked at. Jokla was getting advantages in top lane 03:55:53.500 --> 03:55:57.320 Because Zercher's Ezreal and Caitlyn was popping off. Ile's was outperforming LeBrov 03:55:57.320 --> 03:56:03.760 And the mid jungle was just significantly stronger like even caps versus saint. Saint on that silencing game war 03:56:03.760 --> 03:56:09.660 Ripped through G2 and that was the focus here today like there is no excuse for G2 03:56:09.660 --> 03:56:11.960 They were outclassed at every single step 03:56:12.560 --> 03:56:16.120 Yeah, I mean got it to your hats right you know there's two parts to everything 03:56:16.120 --> 03:56:18.140 You know people talked about it in the G2 series 03:56:18.140 --> 03:56:21.220 Some people want to take away that series from G2 and say oh T1 just underperform 03:56:21.220 --> 03:56:24.000 You have to credit the team that plays well on the day 03:56:24.000 --> 03:56:31.200 It does take really good play to punish a team as good as G2 just as it took incredible plays from G2 03:56:31.200 --> 03:56:33.640 to punish a team as good as T1. 03:56:33.640 --> 03:56:36.260 So I think we have to credit the victors in both series. 03:56:36.260 --> 03:56:38.560 G2, yes, they're going to be disappointed here. 03:56:38.560 --> 03:56:39.960 Yes, they want it to go further. 03:56:39.960 --> 03:56:42.440 But they have beaten three LCK teams this year 03:56:42.440 --> 03:56:44.960 in best of fives, which is absolutely incredible. 03:56:44.960 --> 03:56:45.960 Thanks for making it better, buddy. 03:56:45.960 --> 03:56:46.800 I appreciate it. 03:56:46.800 --> 03:56:48.560 And I appreciate it. 03:56:48.560 --> 03:56:49.680 I am just so excited. 03:56:49.680 --> 03:56:53.080 I mean, it's maybe I am living in the moment, 03:56:53.080 --> 03:56:55.640 but I do think they should, including formats. 03:56:55.640 --> 03:56:58.640 I think this is one of the best in any performance ever. 03:56:58.640 --> 03:56:59.840 100%. 03:56:59.840 --> 03:57:01.960 Yeah, people can talk about who they played. 03:57:01.960 --> 03:57:05.480 We beat three number one seeds from regions to get here. 03:57:05.480 --> 03:57:08.160 They are now guaranteed top three at the tournament. 03:57:08.160 --> 03:57:09.720 It is all best of fives. 03:57:09.720 --> 03:57:14.040 It is three sweeps over three number one seeds here from Lyon. 03:57:14.040 --> 03:57:15.800 It was a competitive series against BLG. 03:57:15.800 --> 03:57:18.480 Yeah, we did lose, but wow. 03:57:18.480 --> 03:57:21.760 It's a great day for North America here today, 03:57:21.760 --> 03:57:24.000 as Lyon advances his top three. 03:57:24.000 --> 03:57:25.880 And we have Inspire on stage with Jason. 03:57:25.880 --> 03:57:27.920 Please welcome Ryzen, both given to you. 03:57:27.920 --> 03:57:30.920 Congratulations to Ryan, the winner of the match. 03:57:30.920 --> 03:57:31.920 Congratulations! 03:57:31.920 --> 03:57:32.920 Congratulations! 03:57:32.920 --> 03:57:33.420 Thank you. 03:57:33.420 --> 03:57:35.420 Let's give it up for Inspired! 03:57:39.420 --> 03:57:42.920 Today's match was really important to G2. 03:57:42.920 --> 03:57:46.920 We've won 3-0, and now we're going to move on to the next round. 03:57:46.920 --> 03:57:49.420 Let's see which one is better. 03:57:49.420 --> 03:57:51.920 Will G2 be able to continue their hope for the future? 03:57:51.920 --> 03:57:56.920 Or will they be able to send their hope to G2 in Europe? 03:57:56.920 --> 03:58:07.920 Congratulations on the huge win. Now I have to ask this question. Which one feels better, winning and keeping the NA's hope alive or sending the last hope of EU G2 back home? 03:58:07.920 --> 03:58:11.920 I think it's pretty obvious answer. I think sending G2 home feels way better. 03:58:56.920 --> 03:59:02.200 anything I expected them to kind of do nothing in the games and they were doing nothing so it was pretty easy. 03:59:26.920 --> 03:59:36.920 Today, many people are meeting the best jungler, Inspired and Scumund. 03:59:36.920 --> 03:59:39.920 What did you think was the most important thing? 03:59:56.920 --> 04:00:03.280 predict enemy plays. There wasn't many to predict. So I think they didn't really contest our game plan. It 04:00:03.280 --> 04:00:09.600 felt like from the beginning to the end of the game, we were one driving the game. I don't know. Easy 04:00:09.600 --> 04:00:12.520 than expected, but I didn't really do anything special outside. 04:00:12.520 --> 04:00:39.520 Who do you think is the best jungler in the world? 04:00:39.520 --> 04:00:43.520 Now, at this point, who do you think is the best jungler in the West now? 04:00:44.520 --> 04:00:47.520 I mean, for me it wasn't a debate for a long time. 04:00:47.520 --> 04:00:50.520 I think I'm the best since a few years already, 04:00:50.520 --> 04:00:54.520 but there's a lot of people thinking there is a competition. 04:00:54.520 --> 04:00:59.520 So yeah, I'm happy that I showed today that the competition is far away. 04:00:59.520 --> 04:01:02.520 Hopefully, we're going to meet again at some tournament 04:01:02.520 --> 04:01:04.520 where they will be able to try to get the revenge, 04:01:04.520 --> 04:01:06.520 because today it seemed easy. 04:01:06.520 --> 04:01:17.520 I've been thinking that I'm the best jungler in the world for the past few years. 04:01:17.520 --> 04:01:21.520 I'm happy to be able to prove that I'm the best jungler in the world again. 04:01:21.520 --> 04:01:27.520 I hope the next game and the next tournament will be another matchup. 04:01:27.520 --> 04:01:33.520 I'm looking forward to the next game, because it was too easy for me. 04:01:33.520 --> 04:01:36.520 Now, it's the last question for the final match. 04:01:36.520 --> 04:01:41.520 Will you compete in the 1st seed of the LCK next game? 04:01:41.520 --> 04:01:43.520 Let's hear your determination. 04:01:43.520 --> 04:01:46.520 Now, next up is the final gate to the finals, 04:01:46.520 --> 04:01:50.520 and you will be facing the number one seed from the LCK, HANA Life Esports. 04:01:50.520 --> 04:01:53.520 What is your mindset heading on to that match? 04:01:53.520 --> 04:01:56.520 Not sure. I mean, they are really good at fighting. 04:01:56.520 --> 04:02:00.520 They are very aggressive, so we definitely need to have good champions in their league 04:02:00.520 --> 04:02:04.320 them because if we don't do that then they'll probably run over us and I think 04:02:04.320 --> 04:02:07.760 just trying to force maybe some early game fights I think that's what they 04:02:07.760 --> 04:02:11.440 made mistakes against BLG I think they took some fights that were not that 04:02:11.440 --> 04:02:15.000 great for them but they they just like to fight everything so maybe we need to 04:02:15.000 --> 04:02:18.240 look for that because I think they're really good individuals so if we keep the 04:02:18.240 --> 04:02:22.640 game slow and let them just play laning phases out I feel like it's gonna be hard 04:02:22.640 --> 04:02:26.440 so maybe the game will be fast and we'll get some lead in the early game if they 04:02:26.440 --> 04:02:30.440 If I don't buy timers, I think that should be our best approach if we don't win. 04:02:56.440 --> 04:03:01.440 We have to play in a similar way, and keep playing in the early game. 04:03:01.440 --> 04:03:08.440 If we don't, the game will get better, and the game will get more unstable. 04:03:08.440 --> 04:03:12.440 So we will try to win the game in the early game. 04:03:12.440 --> 04:03:15.440 Thank you very much, Inspired, and wish you the best of luck. 04:03:15.440 --> 04:03:16.440 Thank you, thank you. 04:03:16.440 --> 04:03:19.440 This has been Inspired. Thank you. 04:03:19.440 --> 04:03:28.440 We can be proud and so does the rest of Lion here and we have big dogs joining us! 04:03:28.440 --> 04:03:29.440 Oh my god! 04:03:29.440 --> 04:03:30.440 Amazing victory! 04:03:30.440 --> 04:03:31.440 Get ready! 04:03:31.440 --> 04:03:32.440 Let's go! 04:03:32.440 --> 04:03:33.440 Let's go dude! 04:03:33.440 --> 04:03:34.440 Congrats man! 04:03:34.440 --> 04:03:40.440 Here, Jocelyne, I need you to accept my apology form for betting against you and predictions. 04:03:40.440 --> 04:03:41.440 Yeah, thank you, Jocelyne. 04:03:41.440 --> 04:03:42.440 My muscles. 04:03:42.440 --> 04:03:43.440 I am always jealous too. 04:03:43.440 --> 04:03:44.440 We'll take it. 04:03:44.440 --> 04:03:45.440 That can happen to any of us. 04:03:45.440 --> 04:03:47.440 Yeah, that can happen to any of us. 04:03:47.440 --> 04:03:53.460 Any immediate reactions after two days? I just want to say seven teams pass up on me in NA 04:03:53.840 --> 04:03:57.840 And I'll leave it that I mean it's true people people have got to stop overlooking you 04:03:57.840 --> 04:04:00.620 I think yeah, not only recently but internationally. I felt like 04:04:01.200 --> 04:04:05.120 Honesty's at Worlds you had a really good individual performance then you came back 04:04:05.120 --> 04:04:09.320 You didn't get the offers then you weren't even you know initially supposed to be online 04:04:09.320 --> 04:04:15.360 You get another opportunity here. You are you've taken down G2. Have you ever lost a game to G2? 04:04:15.360 --> 04:04:17.360 Think so 04:04:30.360 --> 04:04:34.920 Was I in you earlier? He was like, maybe we'll we'll get him over here. Yeah 04:04:35.640 --> 04:04:37.200 Talk to me about this series though 04:04:37.200 --> 04:04:43.140 Like how do they go on the real expectations versus reality because it felt very controlled for you guys 04:04:43.140 --> 04:04:52.740 Um, honestly, I don't even remember what I picked game one, so, uh, I mean, looking back 04:04:52.740 --> 04:04:58.060 into their T1 series, I thought they actually, the victory that they had, obviously they won, 04:04:58.060 --> 04:05:00.860 but like, I didn't think it was like, super dominant way that they won. 04:05:00.860 --> 04:05:04.180 I think it was mainly from drafts, so as long as we had a good draft, I thought we'd be 04:05:04.180 --> 04:05:06.200 playing better and, uh, kind of show today. 04:05:06.200 --> 04:05:09.800 So that was my expectation going in, and I don't think I was going to get like, counter 04:05:09.800 --> 04:05:15.880 pick and lane, like it by Kled, the Yasuo, nice try, you know, actually I had no time, so um yeah, that was pretty 04:05:15.880 --> 04:05:21.000 complicated going in. We were talking about how EU versus NA of course is always an ego matchup, 04:05:21.000 --> 04:05:25.560 especially when you look at the two Psycho Vassia guys having the jungle on your side and on G2's 04:05:25.560 --> 04:05:32.200 side. You played so methodical, controlled the entire series, how hard was it to like fight those 04:05:32.200 --> 04:05:37.400 urges maybe to prove a point, playing their face? I mean it was hard for Sane in that, 04:05:37.400 --> 04:05:40.040 And that makes me think like, what's that trying to do? 04:05:40.040 --> 04:05:40.960 Just roll more hate. 04:05:40.960 --> 04:05:42.400 And he wanted me to go into it as well. 04:05:42.400 --> 04:05:43.640 I'm like, I'm 1 HP. 04:05:43.640 --> 04:05:47.480 Anyway, it was a little hard once we felt the victory right 04:05:47.480 --> 04:05:48.280 there in game 3. 04:05:48.280 --> 04:05:50.440 But before that, I think we were pretty focused for the most 04:05:50.440 --> 04:05:50.940 part. 04:05:50.940 --> 04:05:52.040 I mean, that's just how we played. 04:05:52.040 --> 04:05:56.400 That's just the inspired CEO style of playing the game. 04:05:56.400 --> 04:05:58.800 Yeah, we all were really comfortable 04:05:58.800 --> 04:06:00.800 given just playing slow, trading objectives 04:06:00.800 --> 04:06:02.040 when we think we can't fight. 04:06:02.040 --> 04:06:04.760 So it was like a normal game for us. 04:06:04.760 --> 04:06:06.920 Yeah, it felt like the only two times watching you guys 04:06:06.920 --> 04:06:09.560 that you looked a little bit nervous was right before the series ended. 04:06:09.560 --> 04:06:12.160 And then at the start of game one, it felt like both teams looked a little bit 04:06:12.160 --> 04:06:13.240 nervous at the start of game one. 04:06:13.240 --> 04:06:15.440 I remember this first dragon flight where, you know, 04:06:15.440 --> 04:06:16.680 it's bar misses, W flash. 04:06:16.800 --> 04:06:18.320 Fonstrusion, astero, he misses. 04:06:18.440 --> 04:06:19.800 St. Steals that he misses. 04:06:19.800 --> 04:06:23.240 It was kind of like, okay, everyone's like, settle down. 04:06:23.760 --> 04:06:24.840 You can see the heart. 04:06:24.840 --> 04:06:25.520 The heart's pounding. 04:06:26.920 --> 04:06:28.960 How crazy was it though in those final moments? 04:06:28.960 --> 04:06:32.960 Cause you guys got this massively and you have soul and you're up six K and 04:06:32.960 --> 04:06:34.960 then okay, I was expecting that we have the run war. 04:06:34.960 --> 04:06:39.920 Yeah, what were you guys sweating a little bit? I mean not really because I felt like late game 04:06:39.920 --> 04:06:44.600 We just win okay, like we still have soul at that point our feelings just gonna slowly chip them over time 04:06:44.600 --> 04:06:48.780 So and we have trim the bullet against like relatively no mobility carries 04:06:48.780 --> 04:06:52.440 And we found a good angle on syndrome and after that the pilot just wrapped so it was mainly like yeah 04:06:52.440 --> 04:06:57.320 We threw but we were still confident that you know if we just fight how we want to and don't run up realm all 04:06:58.680 --> 04:07:02.360 Forward or really stupid then it should be fun for us 04:07:02.360 --> 04:07:07.880 We have inspired as the opal player of the series today. His listen was disgustingly good 04:07:07.880 --> 04:07:11.060 That was that was a Chinese tick-tock listen on the script the entire series 04:07:11.060 --> 04:07:15.020 I felt like he was pretty much in control and set you guys up as well for success 04:07:15.020 --> 04:07:20.700 What do you think of the way he performed today? I mean exceptional, you know, pretty much shock all everything 04:07:21.600 --> 04:07:27.000 Just gives really good vision on how we're gonna play the game which objectives we're gonna trade and all that 04:07:27.000 --> 04:07:31.960 So really just unifies us gets us all on the same page and games look relatively clean once we have control 04:07:32.360 --> 04:07:37.060 For what it's worth, I think if Inspire didn't play quite so well, I think you actually would have been playing this series. 04:07:37.060 --> 04:07:38.060 I thought you were going kind of crazy. 04:07:38.060 --> 04:07:39.760 Yeah, we had the two of you, honestly. 04:07:39.760 --> 04:07:40.260 Oh, nice. 04:07:40.260 --> 04:07:40.760 It was a close call. 04:07:40.760 --> 04:07:42.060 Yeah, it was between the two of you. 04:07:42.060 --> 04:07:43.060 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 04:07:43.060 --> 04:07:44.560 The whole team really stepped up, I felt like, today. 04:07:44.560 --> 04:07:45.060 Yeah. 04:07:45.060 --> 04:07:47.760 I also had a really good series, and I know, I don't know if this was your grasp perception, 04:07:47.760 --> 04:07:50.560 but I felt like LeBrov has been playing a really, really good tournament, 04:07:50.560 --> 04:07:55.460 and some people, like myself included, I guess, were less confident in Isles on some of the meta picks, 04:07:55.460 --> 04:07:59.060 like Pyke and Camille and stuff, but I felt like you guys did a good job of actually setting up situations. 04:07:59.060 --> 04:08:01.260 Yeah, we implemented a no-rule, no Pyke. 04:08:01.260 --> 04:08:11.260 I'm not going to say more, but we have a re-film for you, so yeah, there you go. 04:08:11.260 --> 04:08:12.260 Amazing. 04:08:12.260 --> 04:08:13.260 Go create what you want. 04:08:13.260 --> 04:08:15.260 I actually learned re-found the other day here. 04:08:15.260 --> 04:08:16.260 Oh, there you go. 04:08:16.260 --> 04:08:17.260 I was kidding. 04:08:17.260 --> 04:08:18.260 I was going to say that. 04:08:18.260 --> 04:08:19.260 I was going to say that. 04:08:19.260 --> 04:08:23.260 You brought up bot lane though, because I thought it was interesting that it almost, 04:08:23.260 --> 04:08:27.860 I mean, Hans Diego, the Ziggs, but it almost seemed like a gentleman's agreement where teams 04:08:27.860 --> 04:08:34.480 we're going to just focus on having more of like a 2v2 was that something that you thought about in your prep going up against 04:08:34.480 --> 04:08:36.480 G2 specifically or just something that happened? 04:08:36.480 --> 04:08:41.640 I just focused on my lane honestly like yeah balling whatever you want to draft just make sure you pick champs 04:08:41.640 --> 04:08:43.640 I can match your roam to top or something and 04:08:44.240 --> 04:08:50.560 Yeah, they did have a really good roam. They had a couple really good roam tops. Yeah, so um yeah, we did a good job 04:08:51.240 --> 04:08:57.400 Good job team. So congrats you smurfed it, but now you have HLE. Yeah, how are you feeling? 04:08:57.400 --> 04:09:01.400 Yeah, so we flew their way to top three. We played fraudulent teams the whole time. 04:09:01.400 --> 04:09:03.400 Sure, now we play the big boss. 04:09:03.400 --> 04:09:09.400 I mean, Honolive is obviously a very dominant team. They made G2 look extremely silly, so... 04:09:09.400 --> 04:09:11.400 Yeah, it's gonna be hard, and... 04:09:11.400 --> 04:09:13.400 What? We'll take the challenge, you know? 04:09:13.400 --> 04:09:15.400 Plus on Zeus, up there in the top lane. 04:09:15.400 --> 04:09:17.400 He's pretty good, you know. 04:09:17.400 --> 04:09:19.400 He's really good, even. 04:09:19.400 --> 04:09:21.400 So it's gonna be hard for sure. 04:09:21.400 --> 04:09:24.400 I don't think he's just gonna miss as many queues in lane. 04:09:24.400 --> 04:09:27.400 I don't think we're going to change, but I don't think so. 04:09:27.400 --> 04:09:31.400 What do you think is the hardest thing when facing up against a team like Honwa? 04:09:31.400 --> 04:09:33.400 What do you guys have to be careful about? 04:09:33.400 --> 04:09:35.400 I mean, their landing is just so oppressive, you know. 04:09:35.400 --> 04:09:39.400 They have really strong lanners and it's really easy for them to snowball 04:09:39.400 --> 04:09:41.400 instead of like a winning position in their lane. 04:09:41.400 --> 04:09:45.400 So just try to, you know, hold on for their life. 04:09:45.400 --> 04:09:49.400 And don't get gapped too much and then maybe we can make something happen. 04:09:49.400 --> 04:09:51.400 Well, don't go magic in the team fight. 04:09:51.400 --> 04:09:52.400 Yeah, yeah. 04:09:52.400 --> 04:09:54.400 Let's see. 04:09:54.400 --> 04:09:56.400 Buddy, you're gonna tell us. 04:09:56.400 --> 04:09:58.400 Delusion is the first step to believe me. 04:09:58.400 --> 04:10:00.400 Yeah, I have my time. 04:10:00.400 --> 04:10:02.400 This sounds too much like the vlog from this morning. 04:10:02.400 --> 04:10:04.400 I'm excited for tomorrow's vlog. 04:10:04.400 --> 04:10:07.400 The right to get expletive deleted by Hanmeh Leif. 04:10:07.400 --> 04:10:09.400 Yeah, exactly. 04:10:09.400 --> 04:10:11.400 Those are my thoughts going into it. 04:10:11.400 --> 04:10:13.400 No! 04:10:13.400 --> 04:10:14.400 Give us hope! 04:10:14.400 --> 04:10:16.400 It's a good opportunity, I will say, 04:10:16.400 --> 04:10:19.400 just to play against the best teams in the world on stage. 04:10:19.400 --> 04:10:21.400 And think how cool it would be. 04:10:21.400 --> 04:10:25.100 If we win it's only three games buddy. That's it 04:10:26.740 --> 04:10:31.020 One way or another yeah, there's three zero three zero one way or another yeah 04:10:31.020 --> 04:10:34.860 It's gonna be a banger either way hopefully it goes your way and you guys can get something out of this 04:10:34.860 --> 04:10:37.620 But for now, I'm gonna you know what I'm gonna let you think about this one 04:10:37.620 --> 04:10:43.780 That's the story for tomorrow, but for now lying qualifying means that we have to say goodbye to G2 and shocks is standing by backstage 04:10:43.780 --> 04:10:46.780 We've broken blade in the Verizon post game. I'm raw my dad 04:10:46.780 --> 04:10:57.780 Broken Blade, it's the end of the road here for G2 at MSI and I think not many European fans had seen it coming like this. So what went wrong? 04:10:57.780 --> 04:11:08.780 Today a lot of things went wrong. Obviously I think we played very unnatural League of Legends today. This was definitely not the G2 way and I think they definitely played the line way. 04:11:08.780 --> 04:11:13.420 There's nothing really I can say, I think they just played a lot better than us today 04:11:13.420 --> 04:11:18.860 and they earned the victory and for us we will have to go back and think what we can 04:11:18.860 --> 04:11:19.860 do better for next time. 04:11:19.860 --> 04:11:24.460 Yeah, you said it there, I feel like we didn't see the G2, that we've even seen this tournament, 04:11:24.460 --> 04:11:29.380 the amount of the resilience and the calm to come back in these games versus T1, in 04:11:29.380 --> 04:11:35.620 the series versus TES, so why do you think you couldn't activate that G2 today? 04:11:35.620 --> 04:11:42.220 I think it's something that we are working on, because it also does happen in the regular 04:11:42.220 --> 04:11:46.820 season where we drop our momentum a little bit. 04:11:46.820 --> 04:11:52.740 I think it's something I think we've gotten better at, our resilience in the team, and 04:11:52.740 --> 04:11:55.140 how we handle unpredictable games basically. 04:11:55.140 --> 04:12:00.500 I think it's something that we want to just get a lot better at, and I think today just 04:12:00.500 --> 04:12:02.100 was a challenge that we couldn't overcome. 04:12:02.100 --> 04:12:05.700 I think they played very good, very unpredictable. 04:12:05.700 --> 04:12:08.380 They did some weird stuff that we couldn't answer very well, 04:12:08.380 --> 04:12:11.620 and they seemed a lot better. 04:12:11.620 --> 04:12:14.660 And it was a very hard thing. 04:12:14.660 --> 04:12:15.780 Yeah. 04:12:15.780 --> 04:12:19.340 What do you take away from the totality of this tournament, 04:12:19.340 --> 04:12:21.980 and perhaps also the earlier part of the year, 04:12:21.980 --> 04:12:25.100 where you did get some results that you worked really hard for 04:12:25.100 --> 04:12:26.940 and that were really big for you guys as a team? 04:12:26.940 --> 04:12:28.420 How do you take the correct things from that, 04:12:28.420 --> 04:12:32.060 knowing that your schedule is going to be crazy from now on? 04:12:32.060 --> 04:12:39.060 For us, we know that our peak is very high, and we need to work on being more consistently 04:12:39.060 --> 04:12:43.060 getting those performances out of each other. 04:12:43.060 --> 04:12:47.060 We've shown a lot already that we can beat a lot of strong teams, 04:12:47.060 --> 04:12:50.060 but we can also lose to teams that are perceived weaker. 04:12:50.060 --> 04:12:55.060 So for us, again, we need to be a bit more consistent on the team play side. 04:12:55.060 --> 04:13:01.060 Other than that, I would say the tournament was a success in the grand scheme of things. 04:13:01.060 --> 04:13:05.140 obviously we wanted to push harder we wanted to obviously win and it was 04:13:05.140 --> 04:13:10.060 looking very winnable but from the last series they gave us a lot of hope and 04:13:10.060 --> 04:13:15.780 morale and obviously we are very upset and I mean we didn't want to go out this 04:13:15.780 --> 04:13:19.620 way at least we wanted to make it very competitive so I'm also sorry for every 04:13:19.620 --> 04:13:25.060 European fan who was watching and cheering for us which is definitely a bit 04:13:25.060 --> 04:13:29.340 devastating. Yeah we support you no matter what you all know that can I get a 04:13:29.340 --> 04:13:33.560 a word from you about line versus HLE tomorrow because as you said paying the 04:13:33.560 --> 04:13:38.500 respects to how well they have played today if they show up like this tomorrow 04:13:38.500 --> 04:13:42.980 right how competitive do you think that can be? For me I think it will depend on 04:13:42.980 --> 04:13:48.100 how HLE will perform on the day because I'm a bit biased here but they did 04:13:48.100 --> 04:13:52.980 sometimes very hard so they definitely have to perform very very well and I 04:13:52.980 --> 04:13:56.180 think actually we have to underperform because I think HLE is a very very strong 04:13:56.180 --> 04:14:01.580 team, especially on an individual level, I think all the laners and the jungler is very 04:14:01.580 --> 04:14:04.380 mechanically skilled and they will play to outplay you. 04:14:04.380 --> 04:14:07.700 So if they get that, they get leads through that basically and then they snowball that 04:14:07.700 --> 04:14:08.700 very well. 04:14:08.700 --> 04:14:11.900 As for Lyon, I do think they got leads even against the good teams. 04:14:11.900 --> 04:14:17.660 Yeah, I can't be salty because we lost to them. 04:14:17.660 --> 04:14:22.740 I mean, I would love for them to beat an Eastern team so they can talk back to us, you know. 04:14:22.740 --> 04:14:24.780 I would say, oh, I know they can talk back to us, we lost. 04:14:24.780 --> 04:14:27.600 Yeah, you're allowed to flame us, I guess. 04:14:27.600 --> 04:14:28.700 Until the next one. 04:14:28.700 --> 04:14:29.260 Until the next one. 04:14:29.260 --> 04:14:29.760 Yeah. 04:14:29.760 --> 04:14:30.660 Thank you, Vivi. 04:14:30.660 --> 04:14:31.660 Thank you very much. 04:14:35.580 --> 04:14:37.820 Very humble, very good matter. 04:14:37.820 --> 04:14:41.100 From the top batter here, obviously the road stops 04:14:41.100 --> 04:14:43.380 at top four here for G2. 04:14:43.380 --> 04:14:44.380 But we'll see them again. 04:14:44.380 --> 04:14:46.340 We'll see them again after first and after the performance 04:14:46.340 --> 04:14:48.700 they had this time around. 04:14:48.700 --> 04:14:49.980 Farewell. 04:14:49.980 --> 04:14:51.740 But well. 04:14:51.740 --> 04:14:52.220 Well, I'm perfect. 04:14:52.220 --> 04:14:54.460 I know your name is Sizz, but that's how it is. 04:14:54.460 --> 04:14:59.460 I'm not even gonna be fine man. 04:14:59.460 --> 04:15:01.460 Double one, I'm just gonna say that's a double one. 04:15:01.460 --> 04:15:04.460 Yeah, you win this one, you guys win this one. 04:15:04.460 --> 04:15:10.460 Shout out to Broken Blade for doing that interview, honestly. 04:15:10.460 --> 04:15:14.460 It's always really difficult to do those kind of interviews 04:15:14.460 --> 04:15:17.460 when you've just been really shell shocked, right? 04:15:17.460 --> 04:15:19.460 Because you heard it from him. 04:15:19.460 --> 04:15:22.460 He maybe also didn't expect to lose, 04:15:22.460 --> 04:15:25.340 I certainly didn't expect to lose in this fashion, right? 04:15:25.340 --> 04:15:31.300 Like I was thinking these two teams were a lot more evenly matched than people were saying going into this, 04:15:31.300 --> 04:15:38.580 but I did give the edge to G2, so I think regardless of the loss, this is such a stunning defeat. 04:15:38.580 --> 04:15:43.940 So for him to come out and actually talk and do an interview, like I always appreciate when players are willing to do that. 04:15:43.940 --> 04:15:45.940 He remains one of my favorite players in the world to watch. 04:15:45.940 --> 04:15:48.100 I think he's fantastic at interviews. 04:15:48.100 --> 04:15:49.420 I loved him when he was in an A. 04:15:49.420 --> 04:15:50.980 I was sad when he went back to U. 04:15:50.980 --> 04:15:57.440 And I think you know Brooklyn as best is definitely electric to watch so shout out to G2 still still a good performance though 04:15:57.440 --> 04:16:03.700 Obviously not the note they wanted any cozy thoughts on you guys tomorrow because today is a day for celebration tomorrow 04:16:03.700 --> 04:16:05.700 Is gonna be a day for the next celebration 04:16:06.340 --> 04:16:13.500 Obviously, I'm just so happy like I'm really happy like I'm just so happy for this team like yeah 04:16:13.740 --> 04:16:15.980 That's I'm surprised, but I'm 04:16:15.980 --> 04:16:17.460 I'm pleasantly surprised. 04:16:17.460 --> 04:16:20.580 I'm ecstatic, but I will say, like, obviously, I fully agree with BV. 04:16:20.580 --> 04:16:23.900 Everyone knows that HLE is a massive challenge to overcome, 04:16:23.900 --> 04:16:27.740 but Lyon did get it close in three games against BLG. 04:16:27.940 --> 04:16:30.580 Yes, they lost all three games, but they gave themselves real chances 04:16:30.580 --> 04:16:33.500 to win in these teamfights, and that is what I want to see from them. 04:16:33.500 --> 04:16:37.580 I want to see them play their best game, go out there and be able to win or lose, 04:16:37.580 --> 04:16:40.860 leave with no regrets and hopefully pull off some upsets. 04:16:40.860 --> 04:16:42.300 You know what?
