WEBVTT

01:00.000 --> 01:02.000
I

02:30.000 --> 02:32.000
I

13:00.000 --> 13:02.200
Push it, push it, push it

13:09.200 --> 13:10.800
Okay, you're the talk of the town

13:13.600 --> 13:15.800
Push it, push it, push it

13:20.200 --> 13:22.400
Push it, push it, push it

13:24.400 --> 13:26.600
Living my life inside my mind

13:26.800 --> 13:29.200
Push it, push it, push it

14:30.000 --> 14:32.000
I

17:30.000 --> 17:33.000
I can't get you out of my way

17:33.000 --> 17:37.000
I'm a banana, a banana bean

17:37.000 --> 17:41.000
That's me, I can't help but feel sorry

17:41.000 --> 17:44.000
That's so like it, I'm a cat

17:44.000 --> 17:46.000
And you can't be like me

17:46.000 --> 17:48.000
I'm so much bigger than you

17:48.000 --> 17:51.000
My body is still growing

17:51.000 --> 17:54.000
I can't run like this, I can't run like this

17:54.000 --> 18:00.000
I can't believe I'm standing in front of you

18:00.000 --> 18:07.000
I don't even know if I'm going to cry

18:07.000 --> 18:08.000
I'm going to go

18:08.000 --> 18:10.000
I keep on feeling like I'm on fire

18:10.000 --> 18:11.000
I'm different from you

18:11.000 --> 18:13.000
I'm so embarrassed, you're the only one

18:13.000 --> 18:14.000
I'm going to end here

18:14.000 --> 18:17.000
I'm going to make a special decision

18:17.000 --> 18:19.000
Now, come and take me

18:19.000 --> 18:20.000
Open up on me

18:20.000 --> 18:24.480
My heart, I live alone in the water

18:24.480 --> 18:29.920
I ask without tears, I'm alone in the sea

18:29.920 --> 18:34.080
I'm alone in the water, it's like that

18:34.080 --> 18:37.200
I'm the girl in the water, you can't like me

18:37.200 --> 18:41.840
I'm so far away, I can't see you

18:41.840 --> 18:45.600
I can't even look at you

18:45.600 --> 18:49.600
I'm feeling in my mind

18:49.600 --> 18:50.780
I'm my mind, yeah

18:50.780 --> 18:52.820
You're my melody

18:53.940 --> 18:55.940
You're my power

18:55.940 --> 18:58.940
I can't stop, I'm at the top of the world

18:59.580 --> 19:02.580
Follow me, follow me, follow me

19:02.580 --> 19:05.580
I'm not a fool, I'm not a fool

19:05.580 --> 19:09.080
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

19:09.080 --> 19:11.080
Oh, oh, oh, oh

19:11.080 --> 19:14.080
I feel like it, I'm the get it

19:14.080 --> 19:16.080
Oh, you keep me like me

19:16.080 --> 19:18.080
It's too late to say it's too late

19:18.080 --> 19:20.080
I'm just standing still

19:20.080 --> 19:22.080
I'm running too fast

19:22.080 --> 19:24.080
I can't do anything

19:24.080 --> 19:25.080
I got it

19:25.080 --> 19:27.080
It's my picture world all night

19:27.080 --> 19:28.080
I got it

19:28.080 --> 19:30.080
Can you just come by

19:30.080 --> 19:32.080
Follow me I like it

19:32.080 --> 19:34.080
I can't stop

19:34.080 --> 19:36.080
I can't control my thoughts

19:36.080 --> 19:37.080
I don't need

37:16.080 --> 37:43.080
I told you I was done with basic browsers

37:43.080 --> 38:12.700
When I was a player, if I was to like make a misplay, maybe it's my mouse, maybe it's

38:12.700 --> 38:17.260
my armrest, something feels wrong. If you were at home, you wouldn't do that.

38:17.260 --> 38:21.860
The Infinite Position Armrest is part of the largest ukulele on-stage standard initiative.

38:21.860 --> 38:26.100
Aim to bring your home or training room settings to the tournament stage.

38:26.100 --> 38:31.060
Not only that, other players will also set up more evenly.

38:31.060 --> 38:35.060
When you are at the most comfortable position, the more powerful play comes out naturally.

39:12.700 --> 39:40.800
I'm tired of the off-season blues once Worlds is over.

39:40.800 --> 39:46.080
Fear not, because League of Legends is coming to the very first eSports Nations Cup, where

39:46.080 --> 39:50.600
players split from their clubs and compete for national pride.

39:50.600 --> 39:53.680
Will China test every limit imaginable?

39:53.680 --> 39:56.920
Will South Korea turn every game into a macro masterclass?

39:56.920 --> 40:00.920
Will EU and NA actually play in the correct ways?

40:00.920 --> 40:03.880
The final event of the year is not to be missed.

40:03.880 --> 40:06.520
eSports Nations Cup 2026.

40:06.520 --> 40:09.320
See you in Riyadh.

40:09.320 --> 40:14.840
With my new phone company, Menace Mobile, our pricing structure will be so confusing.

40:14.840 --> 40:17.420
It could already be described as evil.

40:17.420 --> 40:18.580
That isn't evil.

40:18.580 --> 40:20.540
It's just typical phone company stuff.

40:20.540 --> 40:24.020
Besides, people would just switch to Verizon with their new Simplicity plan.

40:24.020 --> 40:26.140
There's just one plan and one price.

40:26.140 --> 40:27.140
What now?

40:27.140 --> 40:28.820
And it's only $30 for a single line.

40:28.820 --> 40:29.820
$30!

40:29.820 --> 40:32.220
So, you're all choosing Verizon?

40:32.220 --> 40:33.220
Treaters!

40:33.220 --> 40:36.740
Introducing the Simplicity plan, $30 for a single line.

40:36.740 --> 40:38.740
Can you hear me now?

40:43.740 --> 40:45.740
Red Bull gives you wings.

41:06.740 --> 41:08.740
Take the gun, take the gun!

41:08.740 --> 41:10.740
We must get rid of the enemy's soul!

41:10.740 --> 41:12.740
We're doing so much work, we can't breathe!

41:12.740 --> 41:15.740
We're just going to Easter!

41:36.740 --> 41:43.620
ecosystem to keep expanding so players can focus on the game and fans can focus on the moment

45:06.740 --> 45:13.740
the next MSI title, but first,

45:13.740 --> 45:16.740
we have a show match for the

45:16.740 --> 45:18.740
first time ever featuring the

45:18.740 --> 45:20.740
brand new game with league

45:20.740 --> 45:22.740
classic and I'm here with Kobe

45:22.740 --> 45:24.740
the fish show and freak all

45:24.740 --> 45:26.740
the time. Welcome everyone to

45:26.740 --> 45:28.740
the 2026 MSI Grand Finals

45:28.740 --> 45:30.740
later today. BLG and Honolive

45:30.740 --> 45:32.740
will face off for the last MSI

45:32.740 --> 45:34.740
title, but for the next MSI

45:34.740 --> 45:37.140
The fish show and the freak, oh my god.

45:37.140 --> 45:38.340
Hey, good to be back.

45:38.340 --> 45:39.020
You've been on a long time.

45:39.020 --> 45:39.680
Yes.

45:39.680 --> 45:41.180
You've been on tons of damage.

45:41.180 --> 45:41.680
Come on.

45:41.680 --> 45:42.180
Yeah.

45:42.180 --> 45:43.060
Of course, we've got a safe one.

45:43.060 --> 45:43.560
OK.

45:43.560 --> 45:44.860
We've got 15 minutes, so we can go.

45:44.860 --> 45:46.220
You've been on that thing already.

45:46.220 --> 45:47.220
I want it!

45:47.220 --> 45:47.720
Yeah!

45:47.720 --> 45:49.660
You're the best!

45:49.660 --> 45:51.540
What is it like being back at the desk, guys?

45:51.540 --> 45:52.140
It's great.

45:52.140 --> 45:53.740
I flew in a little early, so I've

45:53.740 --> 45:55.380
spent the last couple of days hanging out with you guys.

45:55.380 --> 45:57.140
And every single time I see someone like,

45:57.140 --> 45:59.420
Deficio, it's been so long!

45:59.420 --> 46:00.460
What's up, dude?

46:00.460 --> 46:01.700
And then you'll come back tomorrow.

46:01.700 --> 46:03.620
Deficio, it's been so long!

46:03.620 --> 46:04.620
It's like the test time.

46:04.620 --> 46:05.420
Yeah, it's great.

46:05.420 --> 46:06.140
I had a great time.

46:06.140 --> 46:06.780
I love it.

46:06.780 --> 46:07.380
I'm just nervous.

46:07.380 --> 46:09.380
I love that nobody has changed at all.

46:09.380 --> 46:10.780
No, we look the same.

46:10.780 --> 46:11.940
That's true.

46:11.940 --> 46:14.660
I noticed when I came back, it's all the same names.

46:14.660 --> 46:15.160
Yeah.

46:15.160 --> 46:16.020
Like nobody's new.

46:16.020 --> 46:17.940
No, I think how people act, too.

46:17.940 --> 46:18.940
Oh, yeah.

46:18.940 --> 46:20.500
All the reflections of the same.

46:20.500 --> 46:22.660
We haven't grown up, and Lee keeps you young.

46:22.660 --> 46:23.740
Yeah, that's what it is.

46:23.740 --> 46:24.340
Perfect.

46:24.340 --> 46:25.540
Let's start by taking a look back

46:25.540 --> 46:26.860
at a lot of these old moments.

46:26.860 --> 46:27.740
There's a lot of memories.

46:27.740 --> 46:29.580
I don't know where we want to start, right?

46:29.580 --> 46:32.060
But it's kind of crazy to think about a lot of us

46:32.060 --> 46:35.660
that we're there from the very start and also so much has changed like look at

46:35.660 --> 46:39.700
this first thing that comes to mind he stole my spot they kicked me off COG

46:39.700 --> 46:43.660
for him stole your name is the guy who misses all the smites yeah it used to be

46:43.660 --> 46:48.820
24 and now it's st. Vishen now with Bjergsen baby Bjergsen I like that

46:48.820 --> 46:55.060
Ash don't I rash me I do have a picture with faker it was from 2013 yes from

46:55.060 --> 46:59.300
all stars Paris I remember tonight we have one this is in I don't know what

46:59.300 --> 47:06.300
this is. That's in Korea. Yeah. Look at Rift. Oh my God. Wow. What a great selfie. That's

47:06.300 --> 47:10.300
the one where we were on the broadcast so we were in the stands. So you were making like

47:10.300 --> 47:14.300
a, they brought it. We're not on the show. Here's the stuff. I think we're going to get

47:14.300 --> 47:23.300
both of us. Look at Rift. Oh. Rift before he went great like me. True. That's me. That's

47:23.300 --> 47:28.300
me. And Joe's called me Joe Miller. Tell me how far have we come since the basement?

47:28.300 --> 47:37.300
You know, a little bit, it is actually truly incredible how much things have changed over the last, what, 16, 15 years of Lawley's courts?

47:37.300 --> 47:42.300
I mean, I also still can't be happy to be here, like, whatever that man said, I still do.

47:42.300 --> 47:50.300
You look great. This to me was like the event that made pretty much myself and everyone around me want to go all in on E-Sports.

47:50.300 --> 47:51.300
Yeah.

47:51.300 --> 47:54.300
Like, literally it's what season 1 worlds and like, we're talking about it and we're like, this is serious.

47:54.300 --> 47:55.300
Was it for you?

47:55.300 --> 48:00.300
Was it also for your combination because I fell in love with Lee and then I fell in love with Tyrone.

48:00.300 --> 48:01.300
Oh my God!

48:04.300 --> 48:05.300
Oh!

48:05.300 --> 48:06.300
I'm gonna cry.

48:07.300 --> 48:09.300
You know how much I struggled with that teleprompter?

48:09.300 --> 48:10.300
I had to get in.

48:10.300 --> 48:11.300
You look so relaxed.

48:11.300 --> 48:12.300
She looks so relaxed.

48:12.300 --> 48:14.300
Yeah, this is pretty wooden, I think.

48:14.300 --> 48:15.300
I agree.

48:15.300 --> 48:16.300
Definitely.

48:16.300 --> 48:19.300
But do you remember that the first years, like your playing League, falling in love with League,

48:19.300 --> 48:23.300
and then it coincided with the start of Esports, all those streamers,

48:23.300 --> 48:28.420
those streamers the early co-streamers actually TSM I mean honestly when I

48:28.420 --> 48:31.660
started I never thought it was gonna get this big yeah sure no I was in

48:31.660 --> 48:35.580
college you know play with my friends I was like oh well gradually now okay time

48:35.580 --> 48:41.140
to do something else get a real job by the way didn't you win something true

48:41.140 --> 48:50.260
we won the only gold medal for North America WCG 2010

48:50.260 --> 48:56.260
Yeah, no big deal. I mean we won the grand prize to beating Europe 3-0, we did. SK!

48:56.260 --> 49:00.260
Wow, I told you. I was on stage with D-Man. I was there.

49:00.260 --> 49:04.260
Do you remember? Oh, that's a special one.

49:04.260 --> 49:06.260
We missed him though.

49:06.260 --> 49:08.260
We got here this one.

49:08.260 --> 49:11.260
From our games all the games were really good.

49:11.260 --> 49:15.260
I cannot choose one, so I think the best for me was to just come here and meet all the fans

49:15.260 --> 49:19.260
and obviously see her pretty face every morning.

49:19.260 --> 49:22.620
Maybe think there was gonna be a joke here. What yeah, what we do you're like everyone

49:36.540 --> 49:40.540
I mean this this game literally laughs it like was it like crazy long and there was

49:40.540 --> 49:49.540
And then they just came back into the game, literally just doing this for the first time ever, and everyone coined it the Xpeke Backdoor.

49:49.540 --> 49:50.540
Yes.

49:50.540 --> 49:54.540
So I was just on that team and he was like, yeah, it's crazy.

49:54.540 --> 50:00.540
I think so many early memes got made that are still alive now, but a lot of people might actually not realize what they mean.

50:00.540 --> 50:05.540
What do people know where Kim from? They've just heard the name, right? Xpeke and so on when it's a backdoor.

50:05.540 --> 50:07.540
Oh no!

50:07.540 --> 50:09.540
Oh no!

50:09.540 --> 50:14.540
We've been practicing in a lot of scrims and we just prepared for this.

50:14.540 --> 50:17.540
We already knew that.

50:17.540 --> 50:19.540
You already knew?

50:19.540 --> 50:21.540
Yeah, we just knew.

50:21.540 --> 50:23.540
This is not more intense than the LCS will be.

50:23.540 --> 50:25.540
I love more.

50:25.540 --> 50:27.540
Oh my god!

50:27.540 --> 50:29.540
That's a sad flip as well.

50:29.540 --> 50:31.540
So many memories.

50:31.540 --> 50:33.540
That's a sad one.

50:33.540 --> 50:36.540
Really early, really early memory, I'm not sure.

50:36.540 --> 50:39.540
What are some of your favorite memories from early?

50:39.540 --> 50:41.540
Be it the game, be it on there?

50:41.540 --> 50:44.540
I mean, they actually showed some of the pictures from some of the old, you know,

50:44.540 --> 50:49.540
one of us in the streets in Korea for the World Championships was definitely one of the best.

50:49.540 --> 50:53.540
I think qualifying for the first E-Wales, yes.

50:53.540 --> 50:56.540
You know, like in Warsaw, we didn't know who we were playing for.

50:56.540 --> 50:59.540
We just randomly won something and then they came up to it and said,

50:59.540 --> 51:05.420
said congrats here's a contract you're now pro player see and cologne next week

51:05.420 --> 51:10.840
yeah that was basically it like the support is so easy dude wow that was

51:10.840 --> 51:19.220
also your role just like noona and stuff yeah for me was 2010 playing a

51:19.220 --> 51:22.840
bunch of five tech pre-nates play like buying all the art is playing all the

51:22.840 --> 51:26.160
aura champions we brush dragon at level one it started the game yeah just want

51:26.160 --> 51:28.400
at the start, we tried to do eight minute barons.

51:28.400 --> 51:29.920
It was just like, it was so wild,

51:29.920 --> 51:31.440
but you kind of play whatever.

51:31.440 --> 51:33.280
You kind of like found a bunch of stuff,

51:33.280 --> 51:34.880
you kind of invented it.

51:34.880 --> 51:35.720
It was kind of great.

51:35.720 --> 51:36.560
It was so amazing.

51:36.560 --> 51:39.600
I think that the playing with your four friends,

51:39.600 --> 51:40.960
those games, those early games,

51:40.960 --> 51:42.960
it's some of the best gaming memories I've ever had.

51:42.960 --> 51:43.800
I remember.

51:43.800 --> 51:44.960
You guys had four friends?

51:44.960 --> 51:45.800
Yeah, we did.

51:45.800 --> 51:46.640
I played solo.

51:46.640 --> 51:47.720
I don't know.

51:47.720 --> 51:50.640
No, I remember that someone who I used to play

51:50.640 --> 51:52.640
on real tournament with, they hit me up like 10 years later

51:52.640 --> 51:54.520
and was like, we're playing this thing called League of Legends.

51:54.520 --> 51:56.160
and I was like, um, MOBA?

51:56.160 --> 51:57.960
Uh, and then I played MOBA.

51:57.960 --> 51:58.840
I played shooters, I know.

51:58.840 --> 52:01.080
And yeah, I played a lot of Vayne actually,

52:01.080 --> 52:02.600
and then I looked up to Uzi Vayne,

52:02.600 --> 52:04.560
and it was, oh my god, it was a wonderful time.

52:04.560 --> 52:06.360
By the way, this is a,

52:06.360 --> 52:09.120
do you remember how Silver Scrapes got created?

52:09.120 --> 52:10.080
Tell us the story.

52:10.080 --> 52:12.240
Well, so Silver Scrapes is what plays all the time

52:12.240 --> 52:13.400
before the game five,

52:13.400 --> 52:15.360
and you might wonder, why do we play that song

52:15.360 --> 52:16.760
and not any other song?

52:16.760 --> 52:20.480
Well, at the World Championship in 2012, right?

52:20.480 --> 52:21.320
Correct?

52:21.320 --> 52:22.880
There was a technical issue.

52:22.880 --> 52:24.200
Yep, during semis, I think.

52:24.200 --> 52:26.320
And that technical issue,

52:26.320 --> 52:30.160
Hembert the show for eight hours, maybe nine hours.

52:30.160 --> 52:31.760
And this isn't like now where we're like,

52:31.760 --> 52:33.440
as competent to bring stuff up.

52:33.440 --> 52:36.160
But yeah, on this moment, oh my gosh.

52:36.160 --> 52:38.600
Yeah, and they kept looping silver scrapes

52:38.600 --> 52:41.240
during that time, the eight hours, so.

52:41.240 --> 52:43.240
God, we're talking and now we're missing these moments.

52:43.240 --> 52:44.080
I know, I know.

52:44.080 --> 52:44.920
That's fine, they can see them.

52:44.920 --> 52:46.160
The fish show, you've barely spoken.

52:46.160 --> 52:47.000
What's wrong with you?

52:47.000 --> 52:47.840
No, I'm fine.

52:47.840 --> 52:49.720
Yeah, jobable colors, they can see this,

52:49.720 --> 52:50.800
calling you out.

52:50.800 --> 52:52.640
Straight on there, welcome back.

52:52.640 --> 52:56.480
He has a lot of good memories. His best player got post by TSM after a year, so...

52:56.480 --> 53:00.440
It is true, actually. We did randomly get invited to Worlds, a bunch of us.

53:00.440 --> 53:02.680
Season 3, we didn't qualify, but we got invited.

53:02.680 --> 53:07.200
And suddenly, my mid laner went to Disneyland with another team, and then he came back,

53:07.200 --> 53:09.840
and he was like, I want to go North America. That was it.

53:09.840 --> 53:13.520
And we sold him for, I think, $20,000. That was a good deal.

53:13.520 --> 53:15.160
That's one of the best deals you've ever made.

53:15.160 --> 53:16.680
Oh, yeah.

53:16.680 --> 53:19.280
Bjorksson was our best deal you ever made.

53:19.280 --> 53:21.360
Oh, this moment!

53:21.360 --> 53:23.360
A yellow star!

53:23.360 --> 53:25.360
Here we go!

53:25.360 --> 53:27.360
Yeah!

53:27.360 --> 53:31.360
Why you guys gotta do it like that? He's sitting right over there!

53:31.360 --> 53:33.360
To get him motivated, I guess.

53:33.360 --> 53:35.360
I love how you get famous for all kinds of plays. This is his place.

53:35.360 --> 53:41.360
I mean, they show the captain Jack into the cleanse, and then they show this right next to each other.

53:41.360 --> 53:45.360
I wonder if we have the X-Pekka and Sivir 500 APM fight?

53:45.360 --> 53:47.360
Yeah, much later.

53:47.360 --> 53:49.360
This is the source classic.

53:49.360 --> 53:53.880
Yeah, we will see this today, brother. You think that's now does he live?

53:55.120 --> 53:57.120
Always

53:58.120 --> 54:03.760
Dude, he was in season one world championship finals with yellow star. Is that insane to think about?

54:03.760 --> 54:07.000
Yeah, that was he playing it today for they've been in the scene for so long

54:07.760 --> 54:09.760
TPO

54:11.520 --> 54:13.520
Let's go

54:14.120 --> 54:15.640
What a good play

54:15.640 --> 54:19.300
What a good player, and he's playing again today. He's playing again today

54:19.300 --> 54:23.040
Maybe we can take a look at a couple of rosters in a second because we can keep looking at those

54:25.840 --> 54:30.840
Yeah, he's also playing is this good or bad double it's not the victim play

54:35.080 --> 54:39.520
Let's go this is the one where he takes over it's clean. Yeah, thanks for game

54:39.520 --> 54:44.240
Yeah, look at all these kills for Shen.

54:44.240 --> 54:46.760
Pocket pick by the way, the Lucian at the time.

54:46.760 --> 54:50.040
Yeah, but it was just like the most meta AD carry.

54:50.040 --> 54:51.040
Yeah.

54:51.040 --> 54:52.040
It's true.

54:52.040 --> 54:53.040
I actually asked him like two weeks ago.

54:53.040 --> 54:54.540
He's like, no, it's actually still like my favorite AD carry to play.

54:54.540 --> 54:55.540
Yeah, I'm always just meaming.

54:55.540 --> 54:56.540
I'm like, okay, fine.

54:56.540 --> 54:58.320
Yeah, but it's not in Classic, right?

54:58.320 --> 54:59.320
I don't remember.

54:59.320 --> 55:00.320
Oh, yeah.

55:00.320 --> 55:01.320
It's not supposed to say.

55:01.320 --> 55:02.320
He's not a launch roster.

55:02.320 --> 55:03.320
You may.

55:03.320 --> 55:04.320
Yeah, I was largely not in charge of champion.

55:04.320 --> 55:05.320
Okay, okay, okay.

55:05.320 --> 55:08.440
Let's take a look at the rosters than what we have for our showmatch because we could

55:08.440 --> 55:12.480
Reminisce forever, but we can also reminisce by by looking at some of these players

55:12.480 --> 55:18.160
It's just an all-star lineup. Yeah, and we had a lot of them showing some of the plays we had

55:18.160 --> 55:22.200
You know so as right there double if right there as well. Yola star all playing today

55:22.200 --> 55:27.400
I mean half of them are famous for like a specific play not always the greatest right scour award

55:27.400 --> 55:31.600
Maybe not the greatest player that was that he tries to walk over the dragon

55:33.200 --> 55:35.200
Missing it and he just gives up and walks away

55:38.440 --> 55:45.060
We got way shall which I it's probably name most people don't remember but season 2 is the best AD carry in the world

55:45.060 --> 55:49.100
Yeah, he was basically like China everybody was looking up to him everyone left way down

55:49.100 --> 55:53.640
I know he's playing support today for some reason. Yeah, well, he's with double if the greatest AD carry of all time

55:55.560 --> 56:00.160
Who to be bad play bitch Frank today. Yeah, I know now double who's DMA on

56:01.120 --> 56:04.880
Nocturne and we could get leave on Nocturne. I don't think that one's in

56:08.440 --> 56:14.520
The gameplay supposed to be a secret. Yeah, we got the AP master. He is in there

56:15.560 --> 56:18.640
Yeah, scar can play as master. He has to play Katarina

56:24.520 --> 56:28.440
Yeah, double those DMM. He's like, hey, who's the best champ in the game? I'm like bro play something

56:28.440 --> 56:33.520
That's like different. He's like I want to play like Corky or Vayne. I'm like, no, those are the same champion, bro

56:33.520 --> 56:37.200
What are you doing? I want to win. I'm like let people see something cool

56:37.200 --> 56:40.120
I love how they're all turbo sweats still even

56:41.360 --> 56:47.880
Retired for years and years the competitive drive never goes away. So as a yellow star we're sitting in the practice room yesterday

56:48.400 --> 56:50.400
Just like figuring out what to play

56:50.400 --> 56:55.880
I'm trying different things. So I think it will be fairly serious show match. Yeah, I think so

56:55.880 --> 56:59.760
I don't like when people take it too serious. I mean, this is really worlds for classic

57:01.680 --> 57:04.080
This is as important as Kobe's gold medal

57:04.080 --> 57:08.580
Yes, thank you. Finally someone's back to me.

57:08.580 --> 57:12.080
That's okay, at least he mentioned my gold medal. Thank you.

57:12.080 --> 57:15.580
Oh my goodness, yeah. I mean, it should be really fun.

57:15.580 --> 57:18.580
I mean, sometimes they go into it and they're all serious

57:18.580 --> 57:20.580
and then when one team starts losing, they're like,

57:20.580 --> 57:23.580
okay, just kidding, that's all for fun.

57:23.580 --> 57:26.580
All right, we have two minutes 40 left.

57:26.580 --> 57:29.580
Tell me why you fell in love with League of Legends.

57:29.580 --> 57:32.580
I was playing a bunch of Warcraft 3 mod,

57:32.580 --> 57:34.940
3 mod defense of the ancients the original one for

57:34.940 --> 57:37.220
Rite of Chaos I even played a on a strike back at

57:37.220 --> 57:39.260
Starcraft but no one remembers that one that's okay.

57:39.260 --> 57:40.780
And it was like man I really want to play something

57:40.780 --> 57:43.620
with like matchmaking and some actual developer support.

57:43.620 --> 57:46.020
So I got in a league immediately loved it played it

57:46.020 --> 57:49.260
nonstop throughout the rest of college applied to

57:49.260 --> 57:51.100
GoTro and Rikes I really wanted to get into gaming and

57:51.100 --> 57:53.980
it was like this game is amazing and just kept playing

57:53.980 --> 57:55.180
it 17 years later.

57:55.180 --> 57:57.380
So I thought the game was a scam because back then

57:57.380 --> 58:00.500
free to play games were sort of like you didn't

58:00.500 --> 58:02.500
You had to download it and everything.

58:02.500 --> 58:04.500
I was like, this might arrive.

58:04.500 --> 58:10.500
This could be really terrible, but I downloaded it, started playing, and then shortly after Pantheon got released, I picked it in a game.

58:10.500 --> 58:14.500
I went like 10-0, and my entire team basically said, wow, you're amazing. You're so good.

58:14.500 --> 58:16.500
And I was immediately addicted.

58:16.500 --> 58:20.500
I just needed positive feedback from my team, and literally stomping someone.

58:20.500 --> 58:21.500
Positive feedback in a week?

58:21.500 --> 58:24.500
I know, it happened back then. I did carry the game 2v2.

58:24.500 --> 58:28.500
I fell in love when I saw the first champion spotlight.

58:28.500 --> 58:36.740
like this beautiful man delivering some quality information to us in an echoly conference room

58:36.740 --> 58:38.740
on an electric microphone.

58:38.740 --> 58:41.460
Yeah, the high production quality for sure.

58:41.460 --> 58:44.620
Yeah, nothing beats playing in the early days with your friends.

58:44.620 --> 58:47.940
You know, everyone's like, get on, you know, we're going to play some League right now.

58:47.940 --> 58:50.860
And it also, it took our group away from Dota as well.

58:50.860 --> 58:52.260
So it's kind of a similar thing.

58:52.260 --> 58:54.140
Yeah, some of the best memories in the world.

58:54.140 --> 58:57.380
I still remember like waking up early hearing Monty and Doha cast.

58:57.380 --> 59:03.380
It's like ingrained into my brain, but yeah, we're almost at the show match.

59:03.380 --> 59:06.380
How do you two feel about casting again together?

59:06.380 --> 59:11.380
It's been a good long time. We cast together, I don't know, at least eight years ago or something.

59:11.380 --> 59:14.380
Probably eight years ago, yeah. I might be a little rusty, but we'll see.

59:14.380 --> 59:16.380
He's going to be great. He's going to be great.

59:16.380 --> 59:19.380
And he literally made this game, so he knows everything.

59:19.380 --> 59:20.380
He's going to show you up.

59:20.380 --> 59:22.380
Nobody can call me out for mistakes.

59:22.380 --> 59:23.380
Why not?

59:23.380 --> 59:25.380
It's 13 years ago. How can I remember anything?

59:25.380 --> 59:27.380
He was prepping by watching Old Copa Nigg and Wolvesloch.

59:27.380 --> 59:31.380
I did actually do that. I didn't watch some old games.

59:31.380 --> 59:35.380
I got the Pentacle from Berks and then there, got to watch it. I almost stole it.

59:35.380 --> 59:36.380
Pentacle?

59:36.380 --> 59:38.380
I was literally one second away from stealing it.

59:38.380 --> 59:39.380
We got that on the way now that we know now.

59:39.380 --> 59:41.380
Would have ruined the whole story.

59:41.380 --> 59:44.380
But no, I watched some old games. I did watch some old games.

59:44.380 --> 59:45.380
We're ready, we're ready.

59:45.380 --> 59:46.380
Yeah, you ready?

59:46.380 --> 59:49.380
Yeah, I'm prepping. We'll see what the players play. Hopefully it's exciting.

59:49.380 --> 59:53.380
Because obviously some champions haven't changed in 16 years, so fingers crossed that's different.

59:53.380 --> 59:59.880
My very first champ that I played was Shaco, and I love that the cooldown didn't start when you casted it

59:59.880 --> 01:00:03.380
And so you could be like permanently invisible with your Q. Yeah, that got nerfed.

01:00:03.380 --> 01:00:07.880
With that question it's now time for our league classic show match. Let's go!

01:00:15.380 --> 01:00:16.880
What is League of Legends to you?

01:00:23.380 --> 01:00:30.860
My first game of League Legends, I remember it fondly because there was just a little bit

01:00:30.860 --> 01:00:44.180
of magic in how the game played and I couldn't stop.

01:00:44.180 --> 01:00:51.260
The first memory I had in my pro career was when I attended the first World Championship.

01:00:51.260 --> 01:00:56.700
I was very impressed of being able to attend such a big tournament.

01:00:56.700 --> 01:01:01.980
I really like to practice for 16 hours or 18 hours every day.

01:01:01.980 --> 01:01:06.060
Because I think that in that kind of state,

01:01:06.060 --> 01:01:08.700
that kind of activity is the real thing.

01:01:08.700 --> 01:01:09.700
He's going to go all the way.

01:01:09.700 --> 01:01:12.060
He's going to be side, and I've got that ball.

01:01:12.060 --> 01:01:15.900
He's going to pick up one, then he's going to get the second.

01:01:15.900 --> 01:01:17.180
Oh, no, he's going to double it.

01:01:17.180 --> 01:01:21.180
He's going to prepare second.

01:01:21.180 --> 01:01:25.260
And now I'm thinking of being something that I don't deserve.

01:01:25.260 --> 01:01:28.420
To me, League is my whole life.

01:01:28.420 --> 01:01:29.380
I was homeless.

01:01:29.380 --> 01:01:31.020
Playing League in the League community.

01:01:31.020 --> 01:01:35.060
I got to get off the streets and live on Travis's couch.

01:01:35.060 --> 01:01:38.940
Solo kill, Pantheon, Ace.

01:01:38.940 --> 01:01:41.700
No one knows when you'll find the moment

01:01:41.700 --> 01:01:44.380
when you'll make your heart beat.

01:01:44.380 --> 01:01:46.900
League of Legends used to just be about all the fun we had.

01:01:46.900 --> 01:01:48.540
I think the early days of League

01:01:48.540 --> 01:01:50.540
was defined by certain players.

01:01:50.540 --> 01:01:56.140
When I got my name to play for the first time, I used the last game to win.

01:01:59.740 --> 01:02:02.540
I think the time was very early.

01:02:02.540 --> 01:02:05.940
I can feel that the Chinese players,

01:02:05.940 --> 01:02:09.140
they were very enthusiastic and enthusiastic about that game.

01:02:09.140 --> 01:02:14.340
And today, when I saw the game, I was very nervous because there was no time.

01:02:20.540 --> 01:02:27.340
of legends back where anything was possible when even in a to win world we still care to feel the

01:02:27.340 --> 01:02:32.300
magic of these moments again is something we all pray faith back to the classics

01:02:37.180 --> 01:02:39.180
Kim baron day Kim dragon

01:02:50.540 --> 01:02:54.540
The whole world's League of Legends fans,

01:02:54.540 --> 01:02:58.540
we are going to travel with you today,

01:02:58.540 --> 01:03:01.540
the time we thought was impossible.

01:03:01.540 --> 01:03:03.540
We were able to do anything,

01:03:03.540 --> 01:03:07.540
and we were able to do what the fans wanted to do,

01:03:07.540 --> 01:03:12.540
and we were able to do what our imagination wanted to do.

01:03:12.540 --> 01:03:18.540
Now, it's time to meet the League of Legends Classic for the first time.

01:03:18.540 --> 01:03:29.540
Let's welcome the legendary fighter, Shibin!

01:03:34.540 --> 01:03:37.540
Please welcome all the families!

01:03:37.540 --> 01:03:42.540
Team Parole Top 10!

01:04:18.540 --> 01:04:28.540
I'm going to show you my team.

01:04:28.540 --> 01:04:33.540
Team Dragon.

01:04:33.540 --> 01:04:40.540
I'm going to introduce you to Team Dragon.

01:05:40.540 --> 01:06:10.060
Hello everyone, and welcome to the League of Legends Classic show match.

01:06:10.060 --> 01:06:15.340
It is my great honor to be here with the fish yo and chat and the cast a fearless best of one

01:06:15.580 --> 01:06:18.080
full e-pedition, of course between

01:06:18.620 --> 01:06:22.140
Honestly ten legendary players playing a legendary game

01:06:22.780 --> 01:06:27.500
Back to a form that they basically all were in their prime steering. I can't wait dude

01:06:27.540 --> 01:06:32.380
Just so much nostalgia watching them walk out, but so much nostalgia for me

01:06:33.580 --> 01:06:35.580
casting with freak and

01:06:35.580 --> 01:06:39.600
Deficio I still remember my name. Thank you. I said a second ago. So we got it back

01:06:39.600 --> 01:06:43.540
I'm I know we probably cast together at I don't know 2018 or 2017

01:06:43.540 --> 01:06:45.540
But I remember I think it was the 2015

01:06:45.540 --> 01:06:50.500
World final that we cast together we did it was actually really that was 11 years ago dude

01:06:50.500 --> 01:06:52.500
I know it feels kind of weird

01:06:52.500 --> 01:06:59.220
But it's the same also with just league classic right now like I keep rewatching old games and just realizing it was not 10 years ago

01:06:59.220 --> 01:07:01.220
Yeah, it's like 13 14

01:07:01.220 --> 01:07:07.180
15 years ago that we were watching season one two and three and it's kind of crazy just to go back in time

01:07:07.180 --> 01:07:10.960
And I still love how the game looks back then. I will definitely love how it looks today

01:07:11.220 --> 01:07:17.100
Sure. Yeah, and so we're gonna see here. You'll hopefully be flashbang by some very fun and interesting icons

01:07:17.980 --> 01:07:23.140
We are gonna do basically no bands. There was some talk. They were gonna gentlemen's band Braggis

01:07:23.140 --> 01:07:26.660
They're saying it was to yes, how sure it's actually gonna happen

01:07:26.660 --> 01:07:31.700
happen. Look at that. So how is the band phase working now? Because this is different than

01:07:31.700 --> 01:07:35.980
what I remember. So the way the band phase is going to sort of work, 4th and 5th picks

01:07:35.980 --> 01:07:40.420
get banned. There's only 60 champions in the launch roster, so only 2 bands per team. So

01:07:40.420 --> 01:07:46.780
they banned Kragas and Master Yi. They did. AP Gragas is gone. Now it's good. You don't

01:07:46.780 --> 01:07:51.980
want to watch Master Yi right now. We need Katerina for Stara. So are you. OG Ari Band

01:07:51.980 --> 01:07:55.320
before the alt had resets, but still very strong.

01:07:55.320 --> 01:07:58.060
Yeah, we have to teach everyone who didn't play back then.

01:07:58.060 --> 01:08:00.540
When you go into Tram Select, when you play yourself,

01:08:00.540 --> 01:08:02.780
it's about typing as fast as possible.

01:08:02.780 --> 01:08:05.660
True, pre-mit, or whatever role you want.

01:08:05.660 --> 01:08:06.160
Jungle.

01:08:06.160 --> 01:08:09.340
There's no other way of getting it, because if we didn't,

01:08:09.340 --> 01:08:11.500
if there was streamer mode back then,

01:08:11.500 --> 01:08:13.500
I never would have gotten jungle, because like,

01:08:13.500 --> 01:08:16.660
you could use your reputation to get your role back in the game.

01:08:16.660 --> 01:08:18.140
Yo, we get old Skarders!

01:08:18.140 --> 01:08:19.100
OK, good.

01:08:19.100 --> 01:08:21.180
Least thing of the course is Skarders is this is

01:08:21.180 --> 01:08:23.660
the very first version of Skarner.

01:08:23.660 --> 01:08:25.640
Flowers himself is over the moon.

01:08:25.640 --> 01:08:27.260
This is his favorite version of Skarner.

01:08:27.260 --> 01:08:28.660
So this is pre-spires.

01:08:28.660 --> 01:08:29.500
Pre-spires.

01:08:29.500 --> 01:08:30.700
W gives you move speed.

01:08:30.700 --> 01:08:31.820
And attack speed.

01:08:31.820 --> 01:08:34.300
Q just, it's a spam ability.

01:08:34.300 --> 01:08:35.580
What was the E?

01:08:35.580 --> 01:08:37.940
The E is I mark people, but I hit them, I get a heal.

01:08:37.940 --> 01:08:38.940
Yeah, right, right.

01:08:38.940 --> 01:08:39.860
It's like a skill shot.

01:08:39.860 --> 01:08:41.260
It's like a traveling skill shot.

01:08:41.260 --> 01:08:43.340
You don't max because it's kind of boring.

01:08:43.340 --> 01:08:46.580
Alistar top lane, we did actually talk to Source yesterday.

01:08:46.580 --> 01:08:49.500
And Source was basically saying, guys,

01:08:49.500 --> 01:08:52.580
old Alistar is back, which means you can headbutt auto-attack.

01:08:52.580 --> 01:08:53.740
You can get the auto-attack, yeah.

01:08:53.740 --> 01:08:54.620
You can get the auto-attack.

01:08:54.620 --> 01:08:56.620
Sheen Alistar, and he's going to auto-attack.

01:08:56.620 --> 01:08:59.020
Oh, and we get the Carthus.

01:08:59.020 --> 01:09:00.140
And Casadin.

01:09:00.140 --> 01:09:01.020
Old Casidus.

01:09:01.020 --> 01:09:01.660
We get Carthus.

01:09:01.660 --> 01:09:04.220
So this is Casadin with the long alt-range.

01:09:04.220 --> 01:09:05.740
It's 700 range Riftwalk.

01:09:05.740 --> 01:09:06.580
And then it's Carthus.

01:09:06.580 --> 01:09:07.940
And the silence on his Q.

01:09:07.940 --> 01:09:10.900
It's Carthus who will have TP revive most likely.

01:09:10.900 --> 01:09:11.500
Yeah.

01:09:11.500 --> 01:09:13.100
So that's what Scar is going to be doing.

01:09:13.100 --> 01:09:13.580
TP revive.

01:09:13.580 --> 01:09:14.740
How long he was in mid laner.

01:09:14.740 --> 01:09:15.380
Pervin Carthus.

01:09:15.380 --> 01:09:17.100
Not sure if it's a meme or not.

01:09:17.100 --> 01:09:18.060
They look at it.

01:09:18.060 --> 01:09:20.700
Corki's gonna try hard. We have to say Corki's trying hard.

01:09:20.700 --> 01:09:22.380
They're probably slamming us.

01:09:22.380 --> 01:09:25.260
Yeah, but it's not as tight. Corki's super broken on this patch.

01:09:25.260 --> 01:09:27.260
Like, particularly this patch.

01:09:27.260 --> 01:09:28.780
Yeah. Just highlighting that.

01:09:28.780 --> 01:09:30.940
Yeah. Yeah, this is Corki before the key was a missile,

01:09:30.940 --> 01:09:32.940
so it just kind of hits the ground, it does reveal.

01:09:32.940 --> 01:09:35.180
And, okay, Corki-Jan is really sweat.

01:09:35.180 --> 01:09:37.980
Yeah. And this is also O'Janna, her passive.

01:09:37.980 --> 01:09:39.980
Global movespeed to your team.

01:09:39.980 --> 01:09:41.340
Yeah, that's why.

01:09:41.340 --> 01:09:42.780
That is a very strong.

01:09:42.780 --> 01:09:46.700
Also, the eag is 50 attack damage for like 10 seconds.

01:09:46.700 --> 01:09:52.040
Yeah, which you probably highlight for anyone who's confused like the champions are not all locked from one patch

01:09:52.040 --> 01:09:56.660
Like this is a boss like different early seasons. Yeah, so you have different version of the champions

01:09:56.660 --> 01:10:01.980
So the way I'll kind of phrase it is like it's like kind of vaguely season 3, but not exactly

01:10:01.980 --> 01:10:07.380
It's more if there was a different kit. We tried to take it. So yes, the very first version of

01:10:08.420 --> 01:10:13.140
For example, Spawners that's period after it already not a big deal for some like twisted fate

01:10:13.140 --> 01:10:19.800
He was already on his modern kit by 2013 so we went farther back we went like 2010 was it fate gate is on his e

01:10:19.860 --> 01:10:24.220
Yes, global teleport at level one those the kind of kits we went for so

01:10:24.940 --> 01:10:29.460
Hopefully it's gonna be a very fun experience if you have played since beta you'd be like I remember that kid

01:10:29.460 --> 01:10:30.980
I played with that stuff

01:10:30.980 --> 01:10:34.220
Understanding that it's not like you know, it's not December 2009 everyone

01:10:34.220 --> 01:10:37.700
It's it's certainly mixed of years, but trying to go for as much novelty as possible

01:10:37.700 --> 01:10:50.700
I just wanted this memory again, right? It's been so long since we've been able to do this together in front of a live crowd with Doublelift and Scar at an international tournament.

01:10:50.700 --> 01:10:51.700
Yeah!

01:10:51.700 --> 01:10:53.700
I think we're still as a Yellow Star.

01:10:53.700 --> 01:10:54.700
Absolutely!

01:10:54.700 --> 01:10:55.700
That was a tie.

01:10:55.700 --> 01:10:56.700
The way Shao...

01:10:56.700 --> 01:10:57.700
Yeah?

01:10:57.700 --> 01:10:58.700
Oh my God.

01:10:58.700 --> 01:11:02.700
Yeah, almost all of them acted at about the same time. Levi, a slight more newcomer.

01:11:02.700 --> 01:11:03.700
Levi's a bit later, yeah.

01:11:03.700 --> 01:11:06.700
But, I mean, still, this is going to be an incredible match. It's going to be a whole lot of fun to watch.

01:11:06.700 --> 01:11:14.340
And I love the mix of world champions. Yes, Kara and double and yes the game looks like this

01:11:15.020 --> 01:11:22.540
Welcome to summoners free on league classic. It is TP revive car this okay got a hundred machete

01:11:22.540 --> 01:11:27.860
Is that a man up? Oh, that's what I look at right? Hold on. We got the what's the name of this one?

01:11:28.660 --> 01:11:30.180
crystalline flask

01:11:30.180 --> 01:11:32.180
Total biscuits of rejuvenation

01:11:32.180 --> 01:11:37.480
mana potion with fairy charm and rejuvenate. We have teleport revive on

01:11:37.480 --> 01:11:44.360
Carthus as well. Red elixir start leasing. So these are the season three

01:11:44.360 --> 01:11:49.180
jungle items. What's the name of it? You can go into madrid's razors. You can go

01:11:49.180 --> 01:11:53.600
into spirit stone. Spirit stone. Spirit of the elder lizard, ancient golem, etc.

01:11:53.600 --> 01:12:00.520
The three blue. So I think we're gonna see the AD item here. Probably the

01:12:00.520 --> 01:12:05.680
tank item here yeah probably go probably but you could go go AP if you

01:12:05.680 --> 01:12:09.640
want real season 3 they're both willing oh we got a real extra start yeah yeah

01:12:09.640 --> 01:12:14.680
oh my god on the Lee sin yep and ignite top lane not TP of course not why

01:12:14.680 --> 01:12:18.760
would you be a coward like that this version of ignite you get five attack

01:12:18.760 --> 01:12:22.960
damage in AP when it's on cooldown because yes we have season 3 masteries I

01:12:22.960 --> 01:12:27.960
also just have to say looking at this map like it's so beautiful all right it's

01:12:27.960 --> 01:12:32.520
Like as beautiful as the day you lost it, right? I'm just so happy to see it back. Yep

01:12:32.520 --> 01:12:35.680
I just want simple ways to get into lane so I know how to work

01:12:35.680 --> 01:12:40.160
I don't want all this like four different entries like in modern League of Legends based on my memory

01:12:40.160 --> 01:12:45.360
Yeah, I feel like the red pot Lee Sin is actually a good counter pick into the BS

01:12:45.360 --> 01:12:50.640
Sheen Alistair because he has massive sustained. I always use the go and then trying to talk about like counter picks

01:12:50.640 --> 01:12:55.800
Well, I think so because in 2014 worlds Alistair was a hundred percent banned

01:12:55.800 --> 01:12:59.320
Because she and auto attack Alistar was so so OP

01:12:59.320 --> 01:13:01.120
Yeah, we're like two or three games above Alistar top

01:13:01.360 --> 01:13:06.680
Yeah, back in the day the solo queue strat was Trinity Force and Shove, but in pro is only Trinity Force in a tank

01:13:06.920 --> 01:13:08.920
It is relevant though like

01:13:08.920 --> 01:13:10.920
original Alistar

01:13:10.920 --> 01:13:12.920
Was obviously sort of popularized by Shusha

01:13:13.440 --> 01:13:15.440
Yeah, original Alistar, yeah

01:13:16.320 --> 01:13:22.140
And he just roam from mid lane and murdered everyone and then people start playing it later on the version we have here

01:13:22.140 --> 01:13:24.140
people learned you could do the auto attack.

01:13:24.140 --> 01:13:27.140
So it's probably Lich Band, but you could also go shift

01:13:27.140 --> 01:13:28.140
and do like the clock hit.

01:13:28.140 --> 01:13:29.140
He could.

01:13:30.140 --> 01:13:31.140
Oh my goodness.

01:13:31.140 --> 01:13:32.140
Look how serious they are playing.

01:13:32.140 --> 01:13:34.140
Like, again, this is the world championship,

01:13:34.140 --> 01:13:35.140
off League of Legends Classic.

01:13:36.140 --> 01:13:37.140
They're actually tryharding.

01:13:37.140 --> 01:13:39.140
I also feel like the style here is like,

01:13:40.140 --> 01:13:43.140
I feel like even the observers are trying to make it 2013,

01:13:43.140 --> 01:13:44.140
they're not, okay, now they're zooming out again.

01:13:44.140 --> 01:13:46.140
We didn't actually have the ability to zoom out in pro

01:13:46.140 --> 01:13:48.140
for like five years.

01:13:48.140 --> 01:13:50.140
We didn't even have an observer client for like so many years.

01:13:50.140 --> 01:13:51.140
Here's the first game, go!

01:13:51.140 --> 01:13:54.740
the first game go there we go I'm up behind him we're gonna do his best he's

01:13:54.740 --> 01:13:58.380
getting slowed down second keep me from a slow and that is first blood to the

01:13:58.380 --> 01:14:03.380
scarter beautiful love it leave I of course probably the best player in this

01:14:03.380 --> 01:14:10.100
match the most recent pro going straight to the bot lane securing a kill I got

01:14:10.100 --> 01:14:14.060
push early corki prior double for through the vest of farm but he's farming

01:14:14.060 --> 01:14:17.940
okay nice slow channing tornadoes the old missile speed I forgot that's a ten

01:14:17.940 --> 01:14:22.500
time VCS champion right there. This is the corgi where you have two damage obviously from your passive,

01:14:22.500 --> 01:14:26.740
your Q which you maxed, it's just the instant bomb you can't actually dodge it. Does it still

01:14:26.740 --> 01:14:32.660
reveal stealth and wards? I don't think it reveals wards anymore. I honestly forgot I haven't played

01:14:32.660 --> 01:14:39.940
a corgi in this yet. And there's no package. No package. Just raw power all the time. This is a

01:14:39.940 --> 01:14:45.060
silence of course on passive and Q. Oh the full duration silence, oh my goodness. But if Scar turns

01:14:45.060 --> 01:14:48.100
He on you can still just go right through it. Yeah. Yeah, you can still hit him back

01:14:48.100 --> 01:14:50.700
I mean level six stars come back. He has

01:14:51.740 --> 01:14:54.900
And then he's gonna revive and you can't revive and run back to die again

01:14:55.700 --> 01:14:59.940
I will say remember reflock has like a much longer cool in this version of the game or yeah

01:14:59.940 --> 01:15:02.540
When you know Riot nerf the reins they also made a cool to much shorter

01:15:02.540 --> 01:15:08.300
So like even with max CDR of 45% if you have the mastery like if you still ain't for a little while

01:15:08.300 --> 01:15:14.420
It's probably also worth highlighting so like a big difference in laning phase in classic preventive modern

01:15:14.420 --> 01:15:18.260
is things tend to cost more mana and you have less mana reach out

01:15:18.260 --> 01:15:19.040
Oh, that's cute.

01:15:19.040 --> 01:15:21.860
And but into the turret range, Levi's on it, man.

01:15:21.860 --> 01:15:23.660
He read Elixirs, gonna heal as much as he can,

01:15:23.660 --> 01:15:25.260
but he's gonna get up on the Skarner, Permislow is on,

01:15:25.260 --> 01:15:27.860
he's not gonna survive this one, Levi's on for two.

01:15:27.860 --> 01:15:29.140
I gotta go play Skarner, dude.

01:15:29.140 --> 01:15:32.060
He's like the closest I can get to Udyr and Lee Classic

01:15:32.060 --> 01:15:34.900
because he's a fast clearing jungle who just bams buttons,

01:15:34.900 --> 01:15:37.140
but Ambish is finally trying to make his gank.

01:15:37.140 --> 01:15:39.100
It's on a ward, it's on a ward.

01:15:39.100 --> 01:15:41.780
Yep, you can buy wards in this game.

01:15:41.780 --> 01:15:44.480
You can spend some of that gold for a regular screen ward.

01:15:44.480 --> 01:15:47.340
The sweeper doesn't follow you either, it's just a slot sweep.

01:15:47.340 --> 01:15:48.080
Yep.

01:15:48.080 --> 01:15:49.940
Yes, you did actually add in sweepers.

01:15:49.940 --> 01:15:52.040
As sort of like one of the latest additions.

01:15:52.040 --> 01:15:55.480
Yeah, so basically I implemented Trinket.

01:15:55.480 --> 01:15:57.180
Basically we realized that players didn't want to buy wards,

01:15:57.180 --> 01:15:58.980
so we gave them really, really, really weak Trinkets.

01:15:58.980 --> 01:16:00.640
They had something to do with their time.

01:16:00.640 --> 01:16:03.380
But Oracles, which is in the game, so Red Trinket,

01:16:03.380 --> 01:16:05.380
just not going to be Oracles elixir.

01:16:05.380 --> 01:16:07.180
You've got to go buy wards or a Sightstone,

01:16:07.180 --> 01:16:08.980
so the yellow Trinket has to be a lot weaker than that one as well.

01:16:08.980 --> 01:16:10.980
So it is the weakest Trinkets I've ever been,

01:16:10.980 --> 01:16:12.980
But we wanted to give some players a little bit of free vision

01:16:13.860 --> 01:16:17.940
Look at those philosopher stones by the supports. Yeah old pretend

01:16:18.180 --> 01:16:23.940
Generation because they don't get free support items. So because they have to train that they can do this if we talk in real old school

01:16:23.940 --> 01:16:27.540
There's actually the wrong bill. There's supposed to rush. I don't yeah

01:16:27.540 --> 01:16:30.720
Just want to highlight that but obviously now that you have to drink it you can

01:16:30.900 --> 01:16:36.100
Add that in probably good for supports because some of the games I rewatched from back then at like 45 minutes

01:16:36.100 --> 01:16:38.100
You don't have any items as supports

01:16:38.100 --> 01:16:42.260
So I like the fact you can get early gold from this. Are they buffed as well?

01:16:43.340 --> 01:16:44.340
Which ones?

01:16:44.340 --> 01:16:45.340
They're good for 10 items.

01:16:45.340 --> 01:16:48.340
They're pretty much the last version you saw of them when they were in the game.

01:16:48.340 --> 01:16:50.540
So Phosphor Stone, pretty much a straight rip from the end of season 3.

01:16:50.540 --> 01:16:52.540
Because they got deleted in season 4.

01:16:52.540 --> 01:16:55.040
Part of gold is a straight rip from the end of season 2 when it got deleted.

01:16:55.040 --> 01:16:58.540
So yeah, they're basically the versions you last saw when you played with them.

01:16:59.620 --> 01:17:01.620
Nice trade down there, good shield from Wei Xiaow.

01:17:01.880 --> 01:17:04.880
Do we have comeback mechanics? How are bound to them?

01:17:04.880 --> 01:17:12.000
Oh, good yet point and click starter oldy. Good luck buddy down you go three zero for Levi. He's carrying this game

01:17:13.280 --> 01:17:18.400
Again, he's the best player on this art. It's instant. You can just flash pull back. It's incredible

01:17:18.400 --> 01:17:22.680
He is the best play on the map. Well, he has he does have a bounty that's visible on the scoreboard though

01:17:22.680 --> 01:17:26.840
Yeah, so champion bodies are in the game ambition ambition. Yeah, can we get this done? It's a single cue

01:17:26.840 --> 01:17:28.840
There's a silence gonna buy him quite a lot of time

01:17:28.840 --> 01:17:31.520
It's over the ult! It jumped over the ult!

01:17:31.520 --> 01:17:33.680
Oh, it's a heartbreak, double-lift.

01:17:33.680 --> 01:17:36.800
Try to push one back. It's knocked up though. He's not going to live.

01:17:36.800 --> 01:17:38.920
It's four in a row for Levi.

01:17:38.920 --> 01:17:40.520
Top lane, wait a minute.

01:17:40.520 --> 01:17:42.200
He might have the damage. One more.

01:17:42.200 --> 01:17:43.600
Thank you, Red Elixir.

01:17:43.600 --> 01:17:46.040
The tie gets won for the team. Finally.

01:17:46.040 --> 01:17:48.160
We've ignited Lee Sin's top lane.

01:17:48.160 --> 01:17:50.360
So as the triple Doran's ring builds.

01:17:50.360 --> 01:17:51.520
Yep, that's in the game.

01:17:51.520 --> 01:17:52.600
Still couldn't get it done.

01:17:52.600 --> 01:17:53.800
It was mostly sac.

01:17:53.800 --> 01:17:56.400
Okay, Levi's taking over this game though, for sure.

01:17:56.400 --> 01:17:57.600
He's going to build tank.

01:17:57.600 --> 01:17:59.400
So hopefully he can't carry late game.

01:17:59.400 --> 01:18:02.000
Like, you know, you're not gonna grab Karsus or anything

01:18:02.000 --> 01:18:03.320
and like just pull him into a team.

01:18:03.320 --> 01:18:04.720
So it might get a bit harder for him.

01:18:04.720 --> 01:18:05.560
True, true.

01:18:05.560 --> 01:18:06.400
Early game, yes.

01:18:06.400 --> 01:18:07.800
Vayne is a hyperscaler as well.

01:18:07.800 --> 01:18:09.720
Hyperscaler, if we get there for sure.

01:18:09.720 --> 01:18:11.560
I think Vayne always had that issue back then

01:18:11.560 --> 01:18:13.680
that her laning phase still kind of sucked.

01:18:13.680 --> 01:18:16.680
And you can see that Skara is crushing in farm right now.

01:18:16.680 --> 01:18:17.520
One thing to point out

01:18:17.520 --> 01:18:19.480
about League of Legends back at this point in time

01:18:19.480 --> 01:18:20.960
is mana costs are very real.

01:18:20.960 --> 01:18:22.520
What we saw people start with mana votes,

01:18:22.520 --> 01:18:24.080
they've got some regen items in their build.

01:18:24.080 --> 01:18:24.920
So you can last hit well

01:18:24.920 --> 01:18:27.280
and of course, Karsus gets mana back for last hit.

01:18:27.280 --> 01:18:29.920
So, like, you can see, like, Pawn's kind of out of mana.

01:18:29.920 --> 01:18:31.120
He's getting pushed around a little bit here.

01:18:31.120 --> 01:18:32.120
And so Scarra's farming up.

01:18:32.120 --> 01:18:33.000
He's going to do plenty.

01:18:33.000 --> 01:18:34.360
Yeah, Scarra's going to be strong also.

01:18:34.360 --> 01:18:36.440
Got to call it the old boots of mobility.

01:18:36.440 --> 01:18:36.760
Love it.

01:18:36.760 --> 01:18:40.600
You were so fast when you're out of combat with these things.

01:18:40.600 --> 01:18:43.200
Just to get in range for that Skarner pull.

01:18:43.200 --> 01:18:43.480
Yep.

01:18:43.480 --> 01:18:44.960
Oh, man, so awesome.

01:18:44.960 --> 01:18:46.840
But I think also, like, generally, mobility

01:18:46.840 --> 01:18:49.000
was obviously sort of harder to get by

01:18:49.000 --> 01:18:50.560
if you look at a lot of the older champions.

01:18:50.560 --> 01:18:52.480
And you don't have like, dragons giving you

01:18:52.480 --> 01:18:53.560
out of combat movement speed.

01:18:53.560 --> 01:18:56.840
Like, the dragon will just give you flat gold, basically,

01:18:56.840 --> 01:19:01.480
for the entire team so any item you could get that just gave you a little bit of mobility

01:19:01.480 --> 01:19:06.640
was huge and you needed your jungler basically to be super proactive because otherwise not

01:19:06.640 --> 01:19:09.320
much happened in the leading face outside of the ganks.

01:19:09.320 --> 01:19:10.320
It's top of bot lane.

01:19:10.320 --> 01:19:13.320
W for the new speed, gets pushed back so we can't ult just yet.

01:19:13.320 --> 01:19:17.640
If he has flash it might get more, almost a range of ways now, exhaust gets pulled,

01:19:17.640 --> 01:19:20.320
oh actually the flash might get enough space to get away.

01:19:20.320 --> 01:19:24.200
Should have done the bot will go right at the end, pull him back a little bit extra, shout

01:19:24.200 --> 01:19:25.480
out captain flowers on the ult.

01:19:25.480 --> 01:19:29.480
Look at him fly away, though, with his boots and mobility back to coming.

01:19:29.480 --> 01:19:32.480
So I feel like he should go hard of gold as well.

01:19:32.480 --> 01:19:34.480
Like, I think he should go stone and hard of gold.

01:19:34.480 --> 01:19:35.480
He's not good at doing it, yeah.

01:19:35.480 --> 01:19:36.480
I think he should go double.

01:19:36.480 --> 01:19:38.480
He's not going ancient golem, but who knows, he's going to go on there.

01:19:38.480 --> 01:19:40.480
And yes, you want to hand off your blue to your mid laner?

01:19:40.480 --> 01:19:42.480
Cast him? Doesn't have a ton of mana right now?

01:19:42.480 --> 01:19:43.480
True, true.

01:19:43.480 --> 01:19:45.480
The blue hands it off, what a hook.

01:19:45.480 --> 01:19:46.480
Oh my god.

01:19:46.480 --> 01:19:48.480
And Bishop took blue from Scarra on Karthus.

01:19:48.480 --> 01:19:50.480
That's crazy disrespect.

01:19:50.480 --> 01:19:53.480
Now Scarra, take me. You should go back and base in AFK.

01:19:53.480 --> 01:19:54.480
Yeah, yeah.

01:19:54.480 --> 01:19:55.480
Basically.

01:19:55.480 --> 01:20:00.680
My recollection is his second blue was actually contentious between Jungle and Midlaner.

01:20:00.680 --> 01:20:05.240
Obviously, both of them wanted it, but it was reasonable to go either way with it.

01:20:05.240 --> 01:20:09.400
Whoever was ahead could usually, you could make an argument that they take it, and then

01:20:09.400 --> 01:20:11.160
it would also just depend on the Midlaner.

01:20:11.160 --> 01:20:12.160
Yeah, hands them.

01:20:12.160 --> 01:20:15.160
If you're going to spam a bunch of Maladoms on Karthus and you're going to be dying all

01:20:15.160 --> 01:20:17.400
the time, you don't need the blue.

01:20:17.400 --> 01:20:21.720
Scar would disagree, but as a jungler I would say that it's okay.

01:20:21.720 --> 01:20:22.720
Sure.

01:20:22.720 --> 01:20:27.720
He's so fast. No ulti. And this Conner has no hard crowd control. It's your second Q is a permanent low.

01:20:27.720 --> 01:20:29.720
Just recall mate, why are you standing here alone?

01:20:29.720 --> 01:20:33.720
He wants to be an XP range. He's gonna die though.

01:20:33.720 --> 01:20:39.720
There's no CC on this Conner, so the ult. And he's just like, he's chilling. I think he's actually chilling.

01:20:39.720 --> 01:20:43.720
Yeah! Back when the Conner was a fighter. The Splash Hire was a 3.

01:20:44.720 --> 01:20:47.720
What up? I was thinking if that bitch was gonna go in for a 1v3 right there.

01:20:47.720 --> 01:20:55.720
This is the single Q of Moomoo, which you miss it and done for. There's no charges, so that's why my strategy was always flash ult, then Q.

01:20:55.720 --> 01:20:58.720
Because you don't get those extra chances on Q charges.

01:20:58.720 --> 01:21:05.720
Yeah, stakes are generally a lot higher in this version of League of Legends. It's in a lot of ways sort of more strategic because once you commit, that's kind of the fight.

01:21:05.720 --> 01:21:09.720
It's more of a brain game, less of a hands game for all people like me.

01:21:09.720 --> 01:21:12.720
Exactly. Also less combat mechanics.

01:21:12.720 --> 01:21:13.720
In some ways, yeah.

01:21:13.720 --> 01:21:15.720
If you make mistakes, it does hurt a lot.

01:21:15.720 --> 01:21:19.720
Okay, going for the flash into the pole, and a hole back.

01:21:19.720 --> 01:21:23.720
The tie kick damage almost enough, but so as gets the kill.

01:21:23.720 --> 01:21:26.720
Love it. Levi just going every once.

01:21:26.720 --> 01:21:32.720
Sos really needed this by the way, because he's actually not doing that well top lane by play,

01:21:32.720 --> 01:21:35.720
but it will become sort of a gimmick Alistar.

01:21:35.720 --> 01:21:39.720
It's still fairly weak before any sheen or ship pull.

01:21:39.720 --> 01:21:40.720
I mean he's going to lose play in this game.

01:21:40.720 --> 01:21:44.720
Great counter pick by the tie with the high sustain on the loose end.

01:21:44.720 --> 01:21:50.440
It's probably W Maxley saying posh lots. He's silenced. He can't easy get away. He's gonna survive for now

01:21:50.440 --> 01:21:55.760
Well, he's how I look at the range on that one and with the heal from Jana. It might be enough to survive through requiem

01:21:55.760 --> 01:21:57.200
It's gonna be close

01:21:57.200 --> 01:22:00.720
Paul is gonna survive it. All right. Here's revived. I'm back in there

01:22:00.720 --> 01:22:05.640
He might be saving it for later when it matters. I mean there we go. He's back revive TP

01:22:05.640 --> 01:22:11.120
Let's go half the people watching out just basically type GG because Castle didn't got his first kill in the early game

01:22:11.120 --> 01:22:17.720
And he's now gonna snowball look at the laser fire. He wants a lot of ages upgrades to change the seraphs

01:22:17.720 --> 01:22:23.800
And then he basically can't go home. There's Archangel staff. I don't think it will never transform into seraphs

01:22:23.800 --> 01:22:25.800
Or is that version in here?

01:22:25.800 --> 01:22:29.720
You're right. I think it stays at full stack archaic. I'm trying to remember actually it might still change name

01:22:30.080 --> 01:22:34.240
Thank you for the reminder of nothing any name. Yeah, because it has a shield on the active

01:22:34.240 --> 01:22:37.720
Oh, are we calling armor boots and ninja tabi or are they plated steel caps?

01:22:37.720 --> 01:22:39.360
I think they're still called ninja tabi nice

01:22:39.360 --> 01:22:46.160
They have a... there's no random dodge. This is without random dodge in the game, so Jacks has a modern E for example as well.

01:22:47.040 --> 01:22:50.760
If you want that to change, let us know. This is a game that we can patch.

01:22:50.760 --> 01:22:53.560
If you want random dodge, that is a possibility for the future.

01:22:53.560 --> 01:22:55.560
But you're not shipping with random dodge.

01:22:55.560 --> 01:23:00.360
So mid lane now, basically, everyone who's ever played against Castle in fact, then will have these memories.

01:23:00.360 --> 01:23:06.860
You're just at risk of dying 24-7. Yes, you have revive. You can just go back and feed faster and tie again.

01:23:06.860 --> 01:23:08.180
Tublin source.

01:23:08.180 --> 01:23:09.620
It gives him bonus AD, by the way,

01:23:09.620 --> 01:23:10.700
so so else could really scrap.

01:23:10.700 --> 01:23:12.500
Bear is a Bluetooth Sheen proc.

01:23:12.500 --> 01:23:14.900
You saw that W Auto chunked like a third of his health.

01:23:14.900 --> 01:23:17.100
Fighting in mid-scarer does not have for a five.

01:23:17.100 --> 01:23:19.020
He's not going to have an easy time for this one.

01:23:19.020 --> 01:23:21.460
Pawn doing his best, jumps in, gets the kill.

01:23:21.460 --> 01:23:22.860
Ambition, finally here.

01:23:22.860 --> 01:23:24.220
Big fight in the bottom side, though.

01:23:24.220 --> 01:23:26.500
Yellowstone's going to drop double, if thou on the board.

01:23:26.500 --> 01:23:27.700
What a great gank.

01:23:27.700 --> 01:23:29.700
Double wants to carry in this one.

01:23:29.700 --> 01:23:33.020
There's also, I mean, Team Baron has a drake,

01:23:33.020 --> 01:23:35.500
but that is just like a for fun counter, right?

01:23:35.500 --> 01:23:40.740
There's no it's just gold and XP that's it. You kill the next one and it's more gold and more XP

01:23:40.740 --> 01:23:46.580
Exactly another dragon. It's more gold and more. This is before any of the like three dragons and the five dragon stack

01:23:46.580 --> 01:23:51.940
And definitely before elemental dragons, but you did add in that you get more gold and later you go into the game, right?

01:23:51.940 --> 01:23:55.340
Yeah, so it's all big stuns done the polymorph at a good time as well

01:23:55.340 --> 01:24:00.940
I'm up to kill Captain Jack the Valkyrie bought the silver bulk land dude. He actually can't carry this game

01:24:00.940 --> 01:24:06.340
Yeah, like he can the only jam you want fed on this team is vain to just take down the front line like this

01:24:06.340 --> 01:24:10.700
Alice stars world can't use all against him. Yeah, I'm thinking ambition flash alts

01:24:11.020 --> 01:24:15.500
Carthus dies in alts and that'll get everybody low enough for double it to try and carry the fight

01:24:15.500 --> 01:24:17.000
That's got to be their strategy

01:24:17.000 --> 01:24:22.380
He's gonna be Rylize on Scarra something so he slows everyone again. He can still build the QSS as well eventually

01:24:22.380 --> 01:24:27.400
He's got to pay the QS X-Tex at some point. Otherwise, I suppose flash all thing in and if he's not in some clicking it

01:24:27.400 --> 01:24:30.400
It's really, really embarrassing against Captain Jeff.

01:24:30.400 --> 01:24:31.400
True!

01:24:31.400 --> 01:24:32.400
You had better.

01:24:33.400 --> 01:24:35.400
Oh yeah, Blue buff has friends, if you forgot.

01:24:35.400 --> 01:24:37.400
Blue and Red buff has friends in the camp.

01:24:37.400 --> 01:24:38.400
It's a nice stuff there.

01:24:38.400 --> 01:24:39.400
Oh, that's true.

01:24:39.400 --> 01:24:42.400
And actually that's quite relevant, because now when you counter jungle...

01:24:42.400 --> 01:24:43.400
You can leave one.

01:24:43.400 --> 01:24:46.400
You leave the small one, and it doesn't actually respawn.

01:24:46.400 --> 01:24:47.400
Correct.

01:24:47.400 --> 01:24:48.400
So just remember that.

01:24:48.400 --> 01:24:49.400
Yeah.

01:24:49.400 --> 01:24:50.400
The baseline camp has spawn timers.

01:24:50.400 --> 01:24:51.400
Are they Raptors, or are they...

01:24:51.400 --> 01:24:52.400
Rates.

01:24:52.400 --> 01:24:53.400
Oh, they're Rates.

01:24:53.400 --> 01:24:54.400
Okay.

01:24:54.400 --> 01:24:55.400
Yes.

01:24:55.400 --> 01:24:58.760
from season four we just saw ambition just go fight there. This jungle by the

01:24:58.760 --> 01:25:02.840
way has a 75 second respawn timer so if you want to be the CEO full clear. Oh

01:25:02.840 --> 01:25:08.240
jeez. There is a lot of full clear available for you. Are there gonna be

01:25:08.240 --> 01:25:11.640
any jungle timers on the map or are those taken away? We're doing something

01:25:11.640 --> 01:25:15.980
not quite as aggressive as modern. Yeah. Hand find them on the mini map. We're

01:25:15.980 --> 01:25:18.920
trying to be too spammy with the visuals but a lot of the modern UI tools are

01:25:18.920 --> 01:25:23.000
there. Both junglers coming but lane. Carthus ult is ready. Maybe three. Yeah

01:25:23.000 --> 01:25:25.240
Cardwell's gonna be a big deal here. He's just hit level 11, too, for Scarra.

01:25:26.680 --> 01:25:29.520
Jump on in. Wimsy, the flash, all the movers there.

01:25:29.520 --> 01:25:33.360
He's pushed around. Karthus does hit it. Ambition, waiting, pops it.

01:25:33.360 --> 01:25:36.880
But then Guthrie and Pale, it's gonna be enough. Captain Jack kills Doublelift,

01:25:36.880 --> 01:25:39.600
and there's no damage left. Two for nothing.

01:25:39.600 --> 01:25:42.560
Levi got to get in range for another Q. Just a two for nothing.

01:25:42.560 --> 01:25:47.040
Dude, Yellowstar's Janna is so broken right now, like the shield for the AD.

01:25:47.040 --> 01:25:51.560
And then just the Janna ultimate basically immune the Karthus ult.

01:25:51.560 --> 01:25:56.160
The level 11 Carthassault that came from mid lane didn't matter at all!

01:25:56.160 --> 01:26:00.080
Oh? So as far as the mid lane, goodbye!

01:26:00.080 --> 01:26:01.400
Pawn takes him down!

01:26:01.400 --> 01:26:03.000
Oh, what a beautiful roam.

01:26:03.000 --> 01:26:04.880
He used to do this all the time.

01:26:04.880 --> 01:26:09.680
So what was the most annoying top lane to play against in Europe for years?

01:26:09.680 --> 01:26:15.400
Because he actually understood how to leave his lane and just go gank mid or bot lane.

01:26:15.400 --> 01:26:17.000
It was insane back then.

01:26:17.000 --> 01:26:21.240
These types of roams were even freezing waves for legendary.

01:26:21.240 --> 01:26:26.240
So look at this, the Lulu CC's them, but look at this, like everyone is literally full health

01:26:26.240 --> 01:26:35.240
by the time Doublelift dies, the Carthassault does a little bit of damage, Doublelift can't hit anyone through the Skarner Ultimate, and they just run him down.

01:26:35.240 --> 01:26:40.240
And, nicely done, this gen also slows in the area, so you can channel it, they really can't get around.

01:26:40.240 --> 01:26:44.240
Yeah, and so once they realize he missed the Flash Q, he's like, well I can still headbutt, it's fine.

01:26:46.240 --> 01:26:48.240
Well, I'm glad to see Yellowstar back.

01:26:48.240 --> 01:26:50.240
Gotta get the auto attack.

01:26:50.240 --> 01:26:54.360
As I was told me yesterday the rehearsal he is going to go for Lich Bane on the champion

01:26:54.360 --> 01:27:00.840
So it's going to be AP plus W auto Alistar big damage there. Oh, he gets to press his E for the here

01:27:00.840 --> 01:27:04.120
Yeah, the easy he also the passive and you have kind of swapped essentially in that

01:27:04.280 --> 01:27:07.100
Anything versus any spell you trample for three seconds and deal damage around you

01:27:07.160 --> 01:27:12.200
There's bonus to minions and monsters you can lay in you can jungle just to help anyone who's going to play Alistar

01:27:12.200 --> 01:27:15.280
Yeah, when the game is live. Yeah, so what did actually explained to us?

01:27:15.280 --> 01:27:20.940
You got a max range W. Otherwise you don't have time to get the order off. We had that in the very end here

01:27:20.940 --> 01:27:25.700
We actually just were too close and I'll leave anything to order attack. Just so you don't look like a fool when you pick it

01:27:25.700 --> 01:27:28.540
Yeah, yeah, yeah, stop feeding your lane because you're actually not that good in lane

01:27:28.700 --> 01:27:33.780
So the pick isn't necessarily completely OP even though it's a bit of a fun gimmick

01:27:34.100 --> 01:27:39.100
Be by also over here buying arguably, you know the best item in the game ages of the Legion, baby

01:27:39.220 --> 01:27:44.060
Yeah, our items are here. They are back. They are amazing and armor MR to your team

01:27:44.060 --> 01:27:48.500
Will he go to the runic bulwark as well as his another fight and it'll be by so fast.

01:27:48.500 --> 01:27:51.300
Yeah, pretty well. 4,500 gold to the lead right now.

01:27:51.300 --> 01:27:54.900
Of course, as you mentioned earlier, there are champion bounties. There are no objective bounties.

01:27:54.900 --> 01:27:57.900
So those are not on the map. Just a simple look for killing objectives.

01:27:57.900 --> 01:28:02.060
Of course, stakes rise over time. Right champs with more XP. Minions are with more gold.

01:28:02.060 --> 01:28:04.500
And more XP as time goes on.

01:28:04.500 --> 01:28:07.100
Double push them back for stay alive. We'll do so.

01:28:07.100 --> 01:28:10.300
Pawn, you see 700 in drift lock. Scary spell.

01:28:10.300 --> 01:28:17.300
Now one of the issues for Vayne, also back then, obviously you can't really kill the waves, so you're super slow and always at risk of dying.

01:28:17.300 --> 01:28:19.300
Look at how chatty the dragon help us.

01:28:19.300 --> 01:28:20.300
Yeah, it looks so funny.

01:28:20.300 --> 01:28:25.300
He's trying for the play against Pawn, big damage for auto attack, he's been pretty well, jumps into the brush, but this is a long corner.

01:28:25.300 --> 01:28:26.300
He's got to flash if he wants to live.

01:28:26.300 --> 01:28:27.300
No, he's got the shield.

01:28:27.300 --> 01:28:28.300
Will it be enough?

01:28:28.300 --> 01:28:29.300
Karthus isn't going to try.

01:28:29.300 --> 01:28:30.300
Deals again.

01:28:30.300 --> 01:28:31.300
Not enough just yet.

01:28:31.300 --> 01:28:36.300
He's got to be careful on Neva, he's going to be in range, flash ult, and so is here for more than flash gets away.

01:28:36.300 --> 01:28:37.300
He's going to be okay for a second ambition.

01:28:37.300 --> 01:28:41.700
ambition in the middle of the team, ult's on the 3, 2 damage, try to cut through onto the Alistar,

01:28:41.700 --> 01:28:45.140
Lee Sin 2 not quick in the land but they knock off 1, Captain Jack on the way out,

01:28:45.780 --> 01:28:49.780
the tie gonna try for what he can, cannot stay in range, Q's gonna land, does not have anything else

01:28:49.780 --> 01:28:53.700
though, doesn't want to go for the kick flash. Could have gone for the insect in the spot of

01:28:53.700 --> 01:28:59.460
the map where the original insect happened, wouldn't have actually worked but. Gotta be careful though,

01:28:59.460 --> 01:29:05.060
this is gonna be big damage at the rest of the team, nice long range safe guard. He's still fighting,

01:29:05.060 --> 01:29:07.900
Double if getting a couple of hits off scar is Sony. Oh

01:29:08.660 --> 01:29:10.780
That get casted and go to shoot in. Yeah

01:29:10.780 --> 01:29:14.420
And about four things on that first walk exhaust is on but yeah, he doesn't have damage yet

01:29:14.420 --> 01:29:19.140
There we go. Let's put it across they get one the kick a little bit too late as already crosses his drop

01:29:19.340 --> 01:29:24.380
He just keeps coming official pod. We have blue buff. Let's look at the man. I'm gonna just keep doing it

01:29:25.260 --> 01:29:29.420
In range for the slow and it's that silence as well finally gonna time out there

01:29:29.420 --> 01:29:33.340
Yellow star wants to be in range for a bit. He wants fun. He's close. I'll be another one here

01:29:33.340 --> 01:29:39.340
It's mana per autotech on the W, passively, activist damage every auto,

01:29:39.340 --> 01:29:42.340
double fronk for trade on the E, but it doesn't do a whole lot, but it hits turret.

01:29:42.340 --> 01:29:45.340
Turrets are pretty frail in this version of League of Legends,

01:29:45.340 --> 01:29:49.340
because the siege is pretty effective without that much considered effort.

01:29:49.340 --> 01:29:52.340
That's true. I mean, most of the strategies back then actually involved around

01:29:52.340 --> 01:29:55.340
just how do we kill turrets as fast as possible.

01:29:55.340 --> 01:29:58.340
Like how do we get as many people together with a minion wave,

01:29:58.340 --> 01:30:02.340
and just destroy the turret especially if they pick champions like Vayne and so on

01:30:02.340 --> 01:30:05.700
who couldn't actually kill the wave, and once you've taken down a couple of turrets,

01:30:05.700 --> 01:30:10.980
it was really easy to just get access to it and be jungle, and as a support, because you barely got any gold,

01:30:10.980 --> 01:30:16.100
well, you got turret gold, and then you could buy an oracle when the other guy couldn't, and then you just took over the map.

01:30:16.100 --> 01:30:16.740
Let's see the fight.

01:30:16.740 --> 01:30:21.380
We call it like a siege comp, and you can see double of trying to chase down Pawn. Pawn still had flash though,

01:30:21.380 --> 01:30:29.340
and the chase initially is actually pretty good from Team Baron. The sustained damage of the Vayne Levi goes kind of too deep here, right?

01:30:29.340 --> 01:30:38.220
No one can follow up on his scarner all but then as everybody arrives and cast them bases to come back is when the fight eventually turn

01:30:39.100 --> 01:30:41.100
Sadly for Cittite

01:30:42.420 --> 01:30:44.860
Can't land he does land the Q doesn't decide to take it

01:30:44.980 --> 01:30:47.980
Okay, not only does a moon we don't have to cut the Q his oldest not a stun

01:30:47.980 --> 01:30:50.940
It is a root and disarm you can cast spells

01:30:50.940 --> 01:30:55.660
I did not remember yeah, but it's the range of it really is it bigger because at one point

01:30:55.660 --> 01:31:01.620
I went from 600 to 550 like it it should be I gotta do every champion so I don't have like every number memorized

01:31:01.620 --> 01:31:06.040
Oh, look at the arch angle staff. Look at that amazing icon from yeah, that looks that's the tier upgrade

01:31:06.040 --> 01:31:11.280
I was one what is that they're running away? There's so many people having nightmares of playing as castled and right now watching this

01:31:11.540 --> 01:31:16.220
That's there's your damage from AP Alice or something AP you scara. Yeah, I've been a danger here

01:31:17.220 --> 01:31:20.460
Kill kill just a punch, but next spell down he goes

01:31:20.460 --> 01:31:26.460
And the damage reduction does it still got a 70% to rank 6 ultimate?

01:31:26.460 --> 01:31:30.460
Yeah, it's what he's going for there. They give him an ambition and shield buys him bit of time.

01:31:30.460 --> 01:31:32.460
Their Q's not going to lie from the same ticker of the wall.

01:31:32.460 --> 01:31:34.460
They kill Captain...

01:31:34.460 --> 01:31:39.460
Gara has revived TP, but can he kill backland? They're going to try and they'll get him with health.

01:31:39.460 --> 01:31:42.460
Ambition on one health. Levi cannot stay in range.

01:31:42.460 --> 01:31:44.460
Double it with a 700 gold shutdown.

01:31:44.460 --> 01:31:48.460
I mean all these fights are fairly close and I keep feeling like we're getting close to our comeback

01:31:48.460 --> 01:31:53.100
Because we getting kills on the vein 5 for double if right here scurrow of course a 0 5

01:31:53.100 --> 01:31:56.220
But still his job is learning how to just go in and die in the fight

01:31:56.420 --> 01:32:00.660
Yeah, he gave them tempo there with the death. He died on one side

01:32:00.820 --> 01:32:04.800
But so has burned everything and it created a 4v5 on the other side

01:32:04.800 --> 01:32:09.180
We're gonna be a Baron there's Baron there's Baron. They don't see that. They don't see that word

01:32:09.180 --> 01:32:16.300
I don't think it's a bit of a division more invisible boards, but is invisible so they don't know what they're known

01:32:16.300 --> 01:32:20.860
known unless you buy another vision ward yeah or red sweeper there you go

01:32:20.860 --> 01:32:23.740
vision work comes down they can now see the ward or like quirky queue reveals

01:32:23.740 --> 01:32:26.580
it still I don't remember this version of poor to reveal stealth didn't you ask

01:32:26.580 --> 01:32:33.100
that already far enough back in the day but thank you yeah I pretty sure it

01:32:33.100 --> 01:32:37.980
doesn't do it I think by this point in time like in history it hadn't anymore

01:32:37.980 --> 01:32:41.420
but I don't remember like every single change on our ship this is coming back

01:32:41.420 --> 01:32:50.080
Like the 16 years of patch notes that I read are simultaneously paying off and cursing me to not know what version of league we're in.

01:32:50.080 --> 01:32:51.080
I don't know.

01:32:51.080 --> 01:32:53.640
And the thing is, it's not even just one version of League exactly, right?

01:32:53.640 --> 01:32:59.040
It's like Heart of Gold and like Ruby Sightstone, I think we're never in the game at the same time, like actually.

01:32:59.040 --> 01:33:01.700
True. And then Doublelift with the red Phantom Dancer.

01:33:01.700 --> 01:33:02.400
Oh, true.

01:33:02.400 --> 01:33:03.400
The best Color of Phantom Dancer.

01:33:03.400 --> 01:33:04.400
Yep, yep.

01:33:06.400 --> 01:33:07.960
What were the stats on that Phantom Dancer?

01:33:07.960 --> 01:33:09.040
Didn't it do something funny?

01:33:09.040 --> 01:33:13.200
Um, I think it's just I think it's sort of the tax beating crit. Um, if you went far enough back, it was random dodge

01:33:13.200 --> 01:33:17.040
But yeah, yeah, yeah, this is post random dodging. Nice coming. Yep. There we go flash

01:33:17.040 --> 01:33:19.280
It's gonna land a lot of follow-up here

01:33:19.280 --> 01:33:22.560
Lulu helps a little bit that we're gonna try to sell it away, but they're gonna be back in pretty soon

01:33:23.120 --> 01:33:27.040
Fat shield with barrier they're gonna try to do everything they can with ambition around here as well trying to kill Levi

01:33:27.360 --> 01:33:32.480
Decent damage Lee sin's gonna get in there and they find the first kill. So as old as gone pond shows back up

01:33:32.480 --> 01:33:34.480
They'll be careful because that is

01:33:34.480 --> 01:33:37.320
Cassadin, and he meets business.

01:33:37.320 --> 01:33:39.080
Captain Jack takes down Scarra.

01:33:39.080 --> 01:33:42.080
Rida comes in the back line, but Pawn already takes down one.

01:33:42.080 --> 01:33:44.080
He's gonna look for more, waits out the exhaust.

01:33:44.080 --> 01:33:46.280
The Tide's gonna try to find his way out, jumps over.

01:33:46.280 --> 01:33:48.680
Pawn wanna chase, he good, but he's a 15.

01:33:48.680 --> 01:33:50.080
I mean, Tide's a dragon.

01:33:50.080 --> 01:33:52.080
They're just waiting for Cassadin to jump in

01:33:52.080 --> 01:33:54.480
and kill someone in the back line, and then he kite back,

01:33:54.480 --> 01:33:56.280
and then he jumps in again, tries to kill someone,

01:33:56.280 --> 01:33:58.680
but double lift, once again.

01:33:58.680 --> 01:34:01.080
Actually stayed alive, got another kill.

01:34:01.080 --> 01:34:03.480
He will have QSS probably on next back,

01:34:03.480 --> 01:34:05.480
It's matter with him. I forget to put some build path.

01:34:05.480 --> 01:34:07.480
I could actually make a build magic mantle, so this wouldn't be wits.

01:34:07.480 --> 01:34:11.480
But yeah, he's got Blade of the King. By the way, with the active attached, it's the active max health flow.

01:34:11.480 --> 01:34:12.480
You have to press it.

01:34:12.480 --> 01:34:17.480
If you press the button, he did do it when he dual pawn and bottom river, so I know he knows. I've seen him use it.

01:34:17.480 --> 01:34:20.480
Also, old Black Thief was a tie built at a Brutalizer.

01:34:20.480 --> 01:34:26.480
Yeah, that's incredible. Double of close to the QSS tax. Pawns, Archangels just transforms.

01:34:26.480 --> 01:34:28.480
Active Seraph. So you have to press the button to get the shield.

01:34:28.480 --> 01:34:33.840
shield. This is also Seekers with the stacking AP and armor per last hit, still

01:34:33.840 --> 01:34:37.260
of course Trins and Azonias. How does Levi have five stacks on his Ruby

01:34:37.260 --> 01:34:41.200
Seidstone? Yeah, Ruby Seidstone can have five charges. It went to five? Yeah. That's crazy.

01:34:41.200 --> 01:34:44.920
It was pretty expensive though, right, to upgrade it. I feel like oftentimes we just

01:34:44.920 --> 01:34:48.280
left it on the original one because it actually cost a lot and you wanted Oracle.

01:34:48.280 --> 01:34:51.960
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Seidstone let you have two Seidstone wards out, Ruby let you have

01:34:51.960 --> 01:34:56.200
three Seidstone wards out. And you get more charges and cost more gold as well.

01:34:56.200 --> 01:34:59.540
But those were not unique to the words you bought.

01:34:59.540 --> 01:35:01.840
You can have a Recyestone and still buy a bunch of wards.

01:35:01.840 --> 01:35:05.600
Also got Aegis as mentioned, has left that as basic Aegis for now.

01:35:05.600 --> 01:35:07.200
Double Exibit is a carry now.

01:35:07.200 --> 01:35:11.200
Weshaw is going to shield him, he's going to ult him, he's going to

01:35:11.200 --> 01:35:13.700
pull him off whoever gets close to him.

01:35:13.700 --> 01:35:18.900
So as his damage, just to highlight, it's really just like one combo.

01:35:18.900 --> 01:35:22.700
And then he doesn't really do anything while he waits for his cooldowns.

01:35:22.700 --> 01:35:24.700
So he's not the most scary top laner.

01:35:24.700 --> 01:35:28.540
Oracles by the way, so you can walk around and reveal all the rewards, but if he dies he loses the four

01:35:28.540 --> 01:35:32.740
This is the version where it's a four minute duration and not okay. Okay. That was earlier

01:35:34.100 --> 01:35:36.100
Kick flash, but yep

01:35:36.660 --> 01:35:42.180
Jump over the altar pond. He is in fact cast it in level 16 cast it in but

01:35:42.580 --> 01:35:45.500
They got the gen ultimate which is decent for an extended team fight

01:35:45.820 --> 01:35:49.540
Jumps in nice slow something to land waiting there. We go get the oath. They have enough to kill them off

01:35:49.540 --> 01:35:52.140
The Polypropies, they have it, but can they chase down?

01:35:52.140 --> 01:35:53.800
Support's already dead, one for one so far.

01:35:53.800 --> 01:35:55.580
Shields coming across, Captain Jack running away.

01:35:55.580 --> 01:35:57.980
Double-lip flashes in, is it enough?

01:35:57.980 --> 01:35:59.380
Can he fight?

01:35:59.380 --> 01:36:00.680
Looking for Yellow Star now.

01:36:00.680 --> 01:36:02.280
That's gonna be a kill from Wekriam.

01:36:02.280 --> 01:36:04.520
As Down goes, the Bloodthirster stacks,

01:36:04.520 --> 01:36:07.980
they're gone off a Gorky, and so has Mytrop as well.

01:36:07.980 --> 01:36:10.060
Lands a Pulverize, but surely they got enough damage

01:36:10.060 --> 01:36:12.200
and enough people to get that kill and go for Baron.

01:36:12.200 --> 01:36:14.540
And that's the comeback, right there.

01:36:14.540 --> 01:36:16.100
They win another fight.

01:36:16.100 --> 01:36:17.900
There's literally not enough damage

01:36:17.900 --> 01:36:21.480
on Team Dragon side at the moment it can't kill the back line.

01:36:21.480 --> 01:36:23.740
Skara he wants to die anyway, he does not care.

01:36:23.740 --> 01:36:25.660
He just goes straight into the team

01:36:25.660 --> 01:36:26.980
and deals a ton of damage.

01:36:26.980 --> 01:36:27.980
Absolutely right.

01:36:27.980 --> 01:36:30.740
Double if can just flash forward in these team fights

01:36:30.740 --> 01:36:33.100
as well, gonna use this shred to take down again.

01:36:33.100 --> 01:36:35.100
That incredibly small Baron health bar.

01:36:35.100 --> 01:36:35.940
Yes, almost.

01:36:35.940 --> 01:36:37.460
It has a lot of health, but this health bar

01:36:37.460 --> 01:36:38.460
is just not that big.

01:36:38.460 --> 01:36:41.380
And 300 gold for every individual,

01:36:41.380 --> 01:36:43.580
plus the active Baron buff with three,

01:36:43.580 --> 01:36:44.940
correct me if I'm wrong.

01:36:44.940 --> 01:36:49.220
Big AD AP, every stat or, Nanary, Gen, Haltry, Gen.

01:36:49.220 --> 01:36:51.220
Yeah, we're gonna fight this castle real quick,

01:36:51.220 --> 01:36:52.340
look good and get knocked down,

01:36:52.340 --> 01:36:53.340
and just as you mentioned,

01:36:53.340 --> 01:36:55.540
made up a couple support, but not much else.

01:36:55.540 --> 01:36:57.940
Captain Jax is not able to do too much in this,

01:36:57.940 --> 01:36:59.140
and obviously Yellowstar is playing Janna,

01:36:59.140 --> 01:37:02.380
so like once he's done like one round of shields

01:37:02.380 --> 01:37:06.460
and ult, then he's really not offering anything either.

01:37:06.460 --> 01:37:08.020
And so as we talked about,

01:37:08.020 --> 01:37:09.020
you love the initial combo.

01:37:09.020 --> 01:37:11.060
Got one combo, good combo.

01:37:11.060 --> 01:37:13.020
When she tied, he, dude, they're all in.

01:37:13.020 --> 01:37:14.100
They're actually full.

01:37:14.100 --> 01:37:16.340
Cautious, dead, do your job, press R.

01:37:16.340 --> 01:37:19.340
I love that.

01:37:19.340 --> 01:37:22.340
I love that cutaway, that was great.

01:37:22.340 --> 01:37:26.340
This is this version of Bluthorst by the way, stacking AD and lifesteal on kill.

01:37:26.340 --> 01:37:28.220
You lose stacks on death.

01:37:28.220 --> 01:37:33.500
You often win BT first spot Holy Champions, Corky of course wants dry force.

01:37:33.500 --> 01:37:38.340
The Banshee's veil on ambition as well, no aura item on him, but it's going to help a

01:37:38.340 --> 01:37:40.940
little bit against Skarner if you can avoid poke.

01:37:40.940 --> 01:37:43.780
I mean this is my MSI final, by the way.

01:37:43.780 --> 01:37:47.340
Yeah, this is what I care about good. This is what the game looked like exactly

01:37:48.820 --> 01:37:55.440
That's quite a compliment. I'll take that one qualified for the LCS back when I got carried you still manage to not work your way on the

01:37:55.440 --> 01:37:58.120
Beards team and it's all done without him. So well done

01:37:58.740 --> 01:38:04.160
What version of art and sensor is this that we shout is complete very very early. It's not life on hit

01:38:04.160 --> 01:38:08.620
It's basically AP or it's it's a tax feed and on hit damage to your target. Nice

01:38:09.020 --> 01:38:12.220
Yeah, this is before the overbuff in 2016 where it was like completely shattered

01:38:13.780 --> 01:38:18.740
131 on Team Dragon's side, and you're obviously just losing your mid-turn.

01:38:18.740 --> 01:38:21.100
You can't really defend against the Baron buff anyway.

01:38:22.220 --> 01:38:24.300
Okay, I'm glad this game is actually so close.

01:38:24.300 --> 01:38:26.580
Because I remember some of the OG games that we could beat,

01:38:26.580 --> 01:38:29.940
giga snowballed and go super fast, but this is a battle.

01:38:29.940 --> 01:38:31.700
Yeah, I rewatched quite a lot of games,

01:38:31.700 --> 01:38:34.620
and it's either you basically stomped them in 20 minutes,

01:38:34.620 --> 01:38:36.180
or it's 45 plus.

01:38:36.180 --> 01:38:36.660
Yeah.

01:38:36.660 --> 01:38:40.380
Guaranteed where you just keep losing and winning teamfights back and forth,

01:38:40.380 --> 01:38:42.140
nobody can really finish the game.

01:38:42.140 --> 01:38:47.240
Yeah, this is the version of the game where Waveclear is definitely very real also, as you mentioned, you know, Turret's a bit squishy here,

01:38:47.240 --> 01:38:49.940
but you kind of saw how, like, slowly caskets through the wave.

01:38:50.340 --> 01:38:54.140
Play's got a lot better in the last 13 years, where it's like everyone has like a part of their Golden CS.

01:38:54.540 --> 01:38:55.540
You know, generally how?

01:38:55.640 --> 01:38:57.640
Dude, actually it's slightly buffs of the PvE stuff.

01:38:57.640 --> 01:39:01.240
Like, they need to get a bit more stat scaling, because everyone just has, like, literally more Golden XB,

01:39:01.240 --> 01:39:02.340
because they're better at the game.

01:39:02.740 --> 01:39:05.640
So, some things are, like, you know, a little bit different to keep up.

01:39:06.240 --> 01:39:07.040
There's the jump in.

01:39:07.140 --> 01:39:10.340
That, however, basically no different!

01:39:10.340 --> 01:39:11.100
He's back.

01:39:11.100 --> 01:39:12.660
Man, this champion!

01:39:12.660 --> 01:39:13.660
Pawn!

01:39:14.940 --> 01:39:16.940
But he can run TP back!

01:39:16.940 --> 01:39:19.300
Okay, he's gonna move ulti, he's applying the backline.

01:39:19.300 --> 01:39:21.300
Good ult out of the janna, but Double is here.

01:39:21.300 --> 01:39:23.300
Can he do enough damage? He's fighting Captain Katz.

01:39:23.300 --> 01:39:25.860
Come around, barrier pop, getting the shields.

01:39:25.860 --> 01:39:27.580
He's still surviving!

01:39:27.580 --> 01:39:30.860
They're trying to kill Double, but he stays alive!

01:39:30.860 --> 01:39:36.140
The revived TP from Scarra gives him the numbers advantage at the end

01:39:36.140 --> 01:39:39.060
and Double lift continues to scale.

01:39:39.060 --> 01:39:47.060
Imagine playing Kassadin knowing I will kill everyone 1v1, I just did it and then the rest of my team runs into teamfights and just died.

01:39:47.060 --> 01:39:53.060
Please just let me solo win the game in the side lane. Oh my god.

01:39:53.060 --> 01:39:57.060
Black Beaver and Last Whisperer, yes they stacked, yes you can buy those, have fun with that one.

01:39:57.060 --> 01:40:01.060
I do want to be clear, this is a version of League that has unique passives, you cannot.

01:40:01.060 --> 01:40:05.060
I mean you technically can but they're not good to buy 6 Sunfire Capes, they are unique.

01:40:05.060 --> 01:40:07.760
Neeks want to make sure you're aware of that one before you get any ideas

01:40:08.060 --> 01:40:13.480
Well, I'm gonna do some jump around goes to keep a light on wrist lock, but the tie just takes him down

01:40:14.660 --> 01:40:20.940
Nicely played by the tie 8 and 2 now on this Lee Sin. Yeah, and he got like first blooded early, right?

01:40:20.940 --> 01:40:27.520
Like he got ganked this one out at 4 to the most of with league classic right seeing great players now come back and try

01:40:27.700 --> 01:40:33.820
Different versions of how you built these champions pro play Lee sin and like season 3 you just built tank

01:40:33.820 --> 01:40:40.380
Yeah, yeah did nothing in late game like you wouldn't just basically walking around trying to kick someone away from your carry

01:40:40.720 --> 01:40:46.320
Now we have someone just building full-on damage armor pen everything and he's destroying people

01:40:46.320 --> 01:40:49.720
That's the solo queue though slow comes out of yellow so the whole team is here have a full version

01:40:49.720 --> 01:40:54.040
There's a lot of damage and ambitions already quite low couple of shields come out doubles already on the fight as well

01:40:54.040 --> 01:40:57.740
She's got to his ass. He feels comfortable stars are on the backside as well

01:40:57.740 --> 01:41:00.880
Levi's that half double is still on the chase almost gets around the tornado

01:41:00.880 --> 01:41:05.200
But that from Yellowstar means it is engages in yeah, that's all burned from double lift as well

01:41:05.200 --> 01:41:07.960
But it's not like we're waiting on some dragon soul or some elbow

01:41:08.600 --> 01:41:10.720
We got away for a big team fight to happen

01:41:10.720 --> 01:41:17.000
There's no permanent game accelerator other than the other than the players just getting stronger and to your point officially

01:41:17.000 --> 01:41:19.200
I can't wait to see like modern

01:41:19.840 --> 01:41:21.680
split push or

01:41:21.680 --> 01:41:24.560
freezing understanding or a seeding understanding

01:41:25.240 --> 01:41:26.840
With the old game

01:41:26.840 --> 01:41:31.600
It's going to be fascinating to watch some of the top players on stream and nobody can actually predict the matter

01:41:31.600 --> 01:41:35.120
Like I saw a lot of comments where all these champions going to be so OP. I don't want to play against this again

01:41:35.120 --> 01:41:36.480
And so it's all a little bit different

01:41:36.480 --> 01:41:37.400
It's all different right

01:41:37.400 --> 01:41:43.240
There's different versions of the champions and again people are going to learn how to play against them in ways that we maybe didn't think about

01:41:44.040 --> 01:41:48.840
Back then like oh and 13 years ago. Have you oh? Yeah, by the way, you get full cool down

01:41:48.840 --> 01:41:54.160
W into a minion. There's no there's no penalty. It is W. Wherever you want you get the shield you get the normal cool down

01:41:54.160 --> 01:41:57.160
Full power and Lisa NW.

01:41:57.160 --> 01:41:59.160
We're correct by the way. Levi building full tank.

01:41:59.160 --> 01:42:02.160
So he actually can't carry this game. Even though he got all the kills.

01:42:02.160 --> 01:42:05.160
This is a really good AD ratio. This version of Starner can build AD.

01:42:05.160 --> 01:42:06.160
The shakes were made by Levi.

01:42:06.160 --> 01:42:08.160
They're gonna try to go for this height? Should be able to get it?

01:42:08.160 --> 01:42:10.160
Yes they do. Claimed under the Baron buff.

01:42:10.160 --> 01:42:13.160
AD, AP, Regen. Oh they're gonna pop the Shirelli.

01:42:13.160 --> 01:42:15.160
See what they can to kill. Levi pulling them around.

01:42:15.160 --> 01:42:17.160
But they can't efficient with the Flash ulti.

01:42:17.160 --> 01:42:20.160
The Zonius repond keeps them alive for now. Wei Xia wants to live.

01:42:20.160 --> 01:42:22.160
Big knock from the backhand side. Pawn knocks down one.

01:42:22.160 --> 01:42:25.920
Can they get the rest yellow star gonna fall double of still around look over captain jack

01:42:25.920 --> 01:42:28.760
I think he felt free forward that's not gonna go well for you

01:42:28.840 --> 01:42:34.080
So as impond those still alive Q's gonna land the tie-tock takes him down double of yeah

01:42:34.240 --> 01:42:37.200
Pawn is gone bro that riff lock is not fair

01:42:37.200 --> 01:42:42.100
But those are long death timers and they got three people trying to push mid with the Baron buff

01:42:42.480 --> 01:42:46.840
And they're gonna try inhibitors gonna certainly fall the questions will they have enough once that happens

01:42:46.840 --> 01:42:49.200
You can see the respawn timers around 20 seconds a piece

01:42:49.200 --> 01:42:52.880
It's only one minion wave, so maybe Castle Link could jump in and actually get rid of it?

01:42:53.280 --> 01:42:57.600
It is a fairly modern Baron though. It does give, resists to the minions around, makes him harder to kill.

01:42:57.600 --> 01:43:01.460
And if it drops, he's gonna try for the siege right now. Just 32 minutes in, onto the Nexus turrets, they go.

01:43:01.460 --> 01:43:04.680
Maybe one, just in. Some damage, locked up, kicked.

01:43:05.100 --> 01:43:09.640
Active Shurelia's gonna dodge the first Q, but he needs to heal. And there's no home guard regen,

01:43:09.640 --> 01:43:13.960
but he's gonna sit there on the fountain. Nexus taking the damage, interrupted by the Janna,

01:43:13.960 --> 01:43:18.800
but it's not enough double! It last hits the Nexus and takes the match!

01:43:19.200 --> 01:43:23.700
First international title for Doublelift.

01:43:23.700 --> 01:43:27.700
Closes it out here for Team Baron.

01:43:27.700 --> 01:43:29.700
What a match.

01:43:29.700 --> 01:43:31.200
I love the comeback.

01:43:31.200 --> 01:43:34.200
Literally, what a team getting super far ahead early,

01:43:34.200 --> 01:43:36.200
trying to just pick them up left and right.

01:43:36.200 --> 01:43:37.700
Doublelift just telling his team,

01:43:37.700 --> 01:43:39.700
guys, just please team fight.

01:43:39.700 --> 01:43:42.700
Around me, I will actually carry this game.

01:43:42.700 --> 01:43:43.700
He did.

01:43:43.700 --> 01:43:44.700
He did?

01:43:44.700 --> 01:43:46.200
My teleporter said to say that was fun.

01:43:46.200 --> 01:43:47.200
And it was!

01:43:47.200 --> 01:43:49.200
That's a really fun match!

01:43:49.200 --> 01:43:52.200
I want to take a small part of this one.

01:43:52.200 --> 01:43:54.200
I told Double Oak you should probably play Vayne.

01:43:54.200 --> 01:43:56.200
It's a very new champion.

01:43:56.200 --> 01:43:58.200
Partially, I was like, look, you can play Ezreal.

01:43:58.200 --> 01:44:00.200
It's Ezreal with a W that heals teammates.

01:44:00.200 --> 01:44:02.200
That's a new champion. You can play Sivir.

01:44:02.200 --> 01:44:06.200
It's Toggle W, Sivir with the ult that gives allies attack speed.

01:44:06.200 --> 01:44:07.200
You can play some new stuff.

01:44:07.200 --> 01:44:09.200
But if you want to play a Double Ops signature,

01:44:09.200 --> 01:44:12.200
it is Vayne with active port, and he went for it.

01:44:12.200 --> 01:44:13.200
The mechanics are amazing.

01:44:13.200 --> 01:44:14.200
Yeah.

01:44:14.200 --> 01:44:16.200
Oh my...

01:44:16.200 --> 01:44:20.300
These guys are back in. Look at how much fun they had getting to play on stage again

01:44:20.300 --> 01:44:24.920
I feel like all these guys are re-hooked and they're just gonna be trying to play more games in class

01:44:24.920 --> 01:44:26.920
They're right now discussing starting a new war

01:44:28.400 --> 01:44:30.400
Basically, there's like who can be screened?

01:44:32.400 --> 01:44:38.200
Yeah, who knows see what people want to do and we'll go rock the grass with probably and we're not starting the LCS

01:44:40.200 --> 01:44:42.280
He'll Ezreal now man. Yeah. Oh, yeah

01:44:42.280 --> 01:44:46.280
Yeah, APS Real with Hewlett is in the game when it goes live in the state.

01:44:47.280 --> 01:44:54.280
Yeah, I mean, if that wasn't enough, we've got more show matches for you to enjoy in the lead up to the release of the classic NALCS.

01:44:54.280 --> 01:45:05.280
It has a classic show match Friday the 24th of July and EULCS has a legend show match on Saturday the 25th of June.

01:45:05.280 --> 01:45:12.520
So check out the LEC and LCS official on Twitter or LLEs first calm for more information later this week

01:45:12.720 --> 01:45:16.360
That's it for us. Thank you both very much for joining me. I hope you have a fun as I did

01:45:16.360 --> 01:45:20.840
I'm so happy you'll get to see we've been working on for the last several several months

01:45:20.840 --> 01:45:24.520
Let's throw it over to shock for the special guest to tell us even more about the classic

01:45:26.120 --> 01:45:30.240
You so much I was such a throwback listening to you three on the cast

01:45:30.240 --> 01:45:35.240
Oh my gosh, what a great first look at the classic and we have a special three as well

01:45:35.240 --> 01:45:40.320
To tell us a little bit more Paul Baleza the executive producer of league of legends. What did you think?

01:45:40.320 --> 01:45:44.120
I don't know so much fun. I mean see I'm like my voice is cracking now

01:45:44.120 --> 01:45:49.840
Like you've seen little Baron just seeing like everyone's pics, you know seeing double up do what he does like it was

01:45:49.840 --> 01:45:53.520
Insta-logic was really cool. Yeah, very nice to have you at MSI as well

01:45:53.600 --> 01:45:54.640
It's awesome

01:45:54.640 --> 01:45:57.840
Could you tell us a little bit more about this project because obviously it's super special

01:45:57.840 --> 01:46:01.280
So we only got a small taste today, but what can you tell us?

01:46:01.280 --> 01:46:03.960
Well, I can tell you, we've been wanting to do something like this for a long time.

01:46:03.960 --> 01:46:05.800
The community has been asking for it.

01:46:05.800 --> 01:46:10.280
And it really was a group of rioters who did something in our ThunderDome, it's like a

01:46:10.280 --> 01:46:11.800
hackathon that we do.

01:46:11.800 --> 01:46:14.240
And they decided to like, let's give this a try.

01:46:14.240 --> 01:46:18.400
So they made a prototype, kind of based around season three, and we all played it.

01:46:18.400 --> 01:46:19.400
And it was such a blast.

01:46:19.400 --> 01:46:21.200
We're like, we got to do this.

01:46:21.200 --> 01:46:22.440
Okay, I see.

01:46:22.440 --> 01:46:26.320
Is there anything that you can tell us a little bit more about what the players can expect

01:46:26.320 --> 01:46:27.760
than we'll be expecting from it?

01:46:27.760 --> 01:46:28.400
Yeah, yeah.

01:46:28.400 --> 01:46:33.560
So it's going to be kind of a mix of experiences,

01:46:33.560 --> 01:46:35.040
kind of like a greatest hits of League.

01:46:35.040 --> 01:46:36.880
It's going to be starting around season 3

01:46:36.880 --> 01:46:39.360
as a starting point, but a little bit before and after.

01:46:39.360 --> 01:46:42.240
But you'll be able to expect 60 champions to start,

01:46:42.240 --> 01:46:45.640
including the original 40, some will unlock over time,

01:46:45.640 --> 01:46:48.080
old items, runes and masteries will be there.

01:46:48.080 --> 01:46:50.240
So like a lot of things to remember.

01:46:50.240 --> 01:46:51.520
Yeah, it feels like it's something

01:46:51.520 --> 01:46:54.360
that people have requested for a very, very long time.

01:46:54.360 --> 01:46:56.640
And from watching this show much now,

01:46:56.640 --> 01:46:58.680
it isn't quite an exact copy, right?

01:46:58.680 --> 01:47:00.200
From League back in the day.

01:47:00.200 --> 01:47:03.160
Yeah, so it's more like we've taken some of the,

01:47:03.160 --> 01:47:05.760
some of the more fun character designs

01:47:05.760 --> 01:47:07.520
and some of the less creative ones.

01:47:07.520 --> 01:47:08.360
Okay.

01:47:08.360 --> 01:47:09.400
Like what?

01:47:09.400 --> 01:47:12.360
More like, ones we knew were not that great.

01:47:12.360 --> 01:47:13.200
I see.

01:47:13.200 --> 01:47:14.040
We've kind of excluded some.

01:47:14.040 --> 01:47:15.160
But for the most part, like,

01:47:15.160 --> 01:47:17.480
it should feel like the way it did then.

01:47:17.480 --> 01:47:19.120
And, but yeah.

01:47:20.120 --> 01:47:22.800
Yeah, so based on what we just saw,

01:47:22.800 --> 01:47:25.320
It's not going to be exactly like League back in the day.

01:47:25.320 --> 01:47:27.760
But what can you tell us about the development of League Classic

01:47:27.760 --> 01:47:28.800
itself?

01:47:28.800 --> 01:47:30.800
Where did the team pull the idea from?

01:47:30.800 --> 01:47:31.520
How did this?

01:47:31.520 --> 01:47:33.000
You talked about this a little, but it just

01:47:33.000 --> 01:47:36.960
seems like such an incredibly big ask and such a big project

01:47:36.960 --> 01:47:37.680
to dive into.

01:47:37.680 --> 01:47:40.120
Yeah, I think the team in that Thunder and Project

01:47:40.120 --> 01:47:41.440
proved that we could do it.

01:47:41.440 --> 01:47:43.800
And part of it was recreating some of the things

01:47:43.800 --> 01:47:45.160
that were lost from time.

01:47:45.160 --> 01:47:48.040
And some of that was just pulling some of the old art assets

01:47:48.040 --> 01:47:49.880
and polishing it off and just making it

01:47:49.880 --> 01:47:52.240
presentable in a way that felt like a fun package.

01:47:52.240 --> 01:47:55.440
But it really was a passion project that proved it can be done.

01:47:55.440 --> 01:47:58.160
And testing it out with some players, they really responded well.

01:47:58.160 --> 01:47:59.960
So we knew we had to commit and bring in.

01:47:59.960 --> 01:48:03.520
And the big question, when will players be able to dive into League Classic themselves?

01:48:03.520 --> 01:48:07.200
We're just going to be in 26.15, which is on July 29th.

01:48:07.200 --> 01:48:08.720
So it's coming really soon.

01:48:08.720 --> 01:48:09.840
OK, awesome.

01:48:09.840 --> 01:48:10.800
Thank you so much.

01:48:10.800 --> 01:48:12.920
And enjoy the finals, HLE and BLG.

01:48:12.920 --> 01:48:14.440
Hopefully we get five games.

01:48:14.440 --> 01:48:17.560
Thank you so much, Paul, for bringing this back to us with you and the team.

01:48:17.560 --> 01:48:20.880
It's really for us as the ancient players, almost.

01:48:20.880 --> 01:48:22.360
It's an absolute pleasure.

01:48:22.360 --> 01:48:23.520
So thank you for that.

01:48:23.520 --> 01:48:25.080
And now we will kick it over to a quick break.

01:48:25.080 --> 01:48:28.240
But one week, come back to the MSI 2026 Grand Finals

01:48:28.240 --> 01:48:29.760
between HLE and BLG.

01:48:29.760 --> 01:48:31.080
We'll be right back.

01:48:31.080 --> 01:48:32.080
Bye-bye.

01:48:32.080 --> 01:48:46.080
This is your plan. This is your home. This is your fight. Fight it.

01:50:32.080 --> 01:50:34.080
I

01:51:02.080 --> 01:51:30.680
Hello, I'm Deijon from MSI 2026 Grand Finals.

01:51:30.680 --> 01:51:35.960
been a grueling MSI. It started off really one-sided, only 3-0s, and then you got really

01:51:35.960 --> 01:51:37.760
interesting trial of the ends. Welcome, guys.

01:51:37.760 --> 01:51:41.320
Yeah, oh my god. Bleak Classic straight into this, so let's think about...

01:51:41.320 --> 01:51:43.560
Yeah, jumping back into the future. Straight up.

01:51:43.560 --> 01:51:47.000
What's good now? There's no side stone or there is side stone?

01:51:47.000 --> 01:51:49.760
Korean China are good now. As they always have been.

01:51:49.760 --> 01:51:54.280
They still are. They still are. So it's all coming back together, yes. We're bad again. We're bad again.

01:51:54.280 --> 01:52:00.040
So MSI, let's look at it. LPL have five MSI titles all time.

01:52:00.040 --> 01:52:02.880
LCK has four MSI titles all the time.

01:52:02.880 --> 01:52:04.440
That's the majority of the MSI titles.

01:52:04.440 --> 01:52:05.720
LEC does have one.

01:52:05.720 --> 01:52:07.680
That was a great moment, but they're gone.

01:52:07.680 --> 01:52:11.280
So the total game score between LPL and LCK

01:52:11.280 --> 01:52:15.200
is also extremely close at 49 to 43.

01:52:15.200 --> 01:52:19.080
And here's the history of international titles

01:52:19.080 --> 01:52:20.920
for everyone that's pulled up from.

01:52:20.920 --> 01:52:23.960
Yeah, I mean, look, for a long, long L while it was the LPL,

01:52:23.960 --> 01:52:26.600
it was able to control the majority of this in the MSI.

01:52:26.600 --> 01:52:28.360
But eventually it kind of got to the point

01:52:28.360 --> 01:52:30.460
where you look at 2023,

01:52:30.460 --> 01:52:33.100
T1 with those double AD carry bot lanes

01:52:33.100 --> 01:52:35.140
kind of broke the spirit of the LPL.

01:52:35.140 --> 01:52:39.840
And since then, it has been a very dominated LCK tournament.

01:52:39.840 --> 01:52:42.100
And it's now to see if BLG can try

01:52:42.100 --> 01:52:44.140
and keep this streak alive coming out for first.

01:52:44.140 --> 01:52:48.020
Yeah, it was six international titles in a row for the LCK.

01:52:48.020 --> 01:52:50.220
So the first stand win was great,

01:52:50.220 --> 01:52:52.560
but it's a newer tournament early in the year.

01:52:52.560 --> 01:52:54.500
It doesn't carry the same significance

01:52:54.500 --> 01:52:57.660
as if BLG is able to knock out HLE today.

01:52:57.660 --> 01:52:59.460
but for BLG specifically for Knight,

01:52:59.460 --> 01:53:01.300
this matchup is always gonna carry significance.

01:53:01.300 --> 01:53:03.060
Because remember, they were the team that was so close

01:53:03.060 --> 01:53:04.460
on JDG to that Golden Road.

01:53:04.460 --> 01:53:05.300
Who took away?

01:53:05.300 --> 01:53:07.340
Well, it's T1, and there are a lot of T1s

01:53:07.340 --> 01:53:09.540
in the history of Lolli Sports, no doubt.

01:53:09.540 --> 01:53:11.220
They've stopped a lot of dreams,

01:53:11.220 --> 01:53:12.540
but when you see Guma and Zeyu

01:53:12.540 --> 01:53:13.980
slowing in on the other team,

01:53:13.980 --> 01:53:15.540
you gotta know that the doubt is kind of

01:53:15.540 --> 01:53:16.700
peeking up in the back of your head.

01:53:16.700 --> 01:53:18.260
You're walking the Golden Road once again,

01:53:18.260 --> 01:53:19.580
and it's like, ah, of course.

01:53:19.580 --> 01:53:21.660
Who is here standing in my way?

01:53:21.660 --> 01:53:23.220
But with some former T1 members,

01:53:23.220 --> 01:53:24.700
with some new muscle back in them up.

01:53:24.700 --> 01:53:25.740
But they broke them so hard,

01:53:25.740 --> 01:53:26.940
Canabi swaps sides.

01:53:26.940 --> 01:53:28.860
Canabi was like, you know what?

01:53:28.860 --> 01:53:29.700
I'm out of nowhere.

01:53:29.700 --> 01:53:31.140
I need to get over this way, yeah?

01:53:31.140 --> 01:53:32.340
One of them will get it in the end,

01:53:32.340 --> 01:53:34.220
but also we always talk about the Golden Road,

01:53:34.220 --> 01:53:36.380
but there's something else on the line here.

01:53:36.380 --> 01:53:40.500
The very first Grand Slam for three of the 10 players

01:53:40.500 --> 01:53:43.300
that we have on the Rift, Zeus, Zika, and Viper.

01:53:43.300 --> 01:53:47.100
Going to that MSI, it is the only missing title for them.

01:53:47.100 --> 01:53:48.620
And you talk about switching sides.

01:53:48.620 --> 01:53:50.780
Viper was there with their Kaleed.

01:53:50.780 --> 01:53:52.660
This is all from 2025 first hand, right?

01:53:52.660 --> 01:53:53.820
We've only had two so far,

01:53:53.820 --> 01:53:55.700
so he's the only one in contention here.

01:53:55.700 --> 01:53:58.660
really just coming down and Viper looking like a demon.

01:53:58.660 --> 01:54:00.500
And I think it's cool that we have something new

01:54:00.500 --> 01:54:01.700
for the individual players.

01:54:01.700 --> 01:54:03.620
We talk about the regions, we talk about the teams,

01:54:03.620 --> 01:54:04.820
the clubs that they play for,

01:54:04.820 --> 01:54:06.180
but the fact that these individual players

01:54:06.180 --> 01:54:07.180
could walk away with something

01:54:07.180 --> 01:54:09.620
that no one else will be able to take away from them.

01:54:09.620 --> 01:54:12.380
The first player to get all three international titles,

01:54:12.380 --> 01:54:13.780
I think that's super cool.

01:54:13.780 --> 01:54:15.100
Yeah, I think it's gonna be incredible to see,

01:54:15.100 --> 01:54:16.780
especially because either way,

01:54:16.780 --> 01:54:18.460
you do it in front of your home team crowd.

01:54:18.460 --> 01:54:20.740
Either you got the OCK players who are doing it,

01:54:20.740 --> 01:54:23.860
or Viper gets to do it in the city he grew up in.

01:54:23.860 --> 01:54:25.460
Like what an incredible moment for him

01:54:25.460 --> 01:54:28.340
and achievement it could be if he's able to do it here with BLG.

01:54:28.340 --> 01:54:33.540
We've been allowed for him but extra for Viper here in front of his audience in his hometown.

01:54:33.540 --> 01:54:35.140
We'll see if he can make it.

01:54:35.780 --> 01:54:40.420
I don't know what we're looking at today because we've seen this matchup a few days ago.

01:54:41.060 --> 01:54:44.820
It was a big one-sided. I want to say favoring BLG here.

01:54:44.820 --> 01:54:49.540
How much can things change within such a short time? Jack, what are we looking at here?

01:54:49.540 --> 01:54:53.940
Yeah, it's good that you called Jack because the rest of us seem pretty convinced that things are not going to change.

01:54:53.940 --> 01:54:57.500
So that's a lot of confidence, Mr. Leeds, when you got to explain yourself.

01:54:57.500 --> 01:55:01.020
I did say before the tournament that MSI has only been one from the upper back.

01:55:01.020 --> 01:55:03.220
Yeah, yeah, that's a good bet.

01:55:03.220 --> 01:55:04.860
That supports BLG.

01:55:04.860 --> 01:55:05.860
So what happened to you?

01:55:05.860 --> 01:55:07.300
It would. I think it's a coincidence.

01:55:07.300 --> 01:55:09.300
I think I brought it up because it was fun.

01:55:09.300 --> 01:55:10.220
I don't think it matters.

01:55:10.220 --> 01:55:14.500
What I think matters is how the teams adapt throughout the tournament.

01:55:14.500 --> 01:55:17.820
And for me, Zeyouz has adapted the best.

01:55:17.820 --> 01:55:20.660
We've seen these made-bought snowball compositions.

01:55:20.660 --> 01:55:26.260
And what Zeus has done with his last four wins is he's been on these raid boss picks,

01:55:26.260 --> 01:55:30.500
like his Mundo became unkillable and allowed him to run through the game.

01:55:30.500 --> 01:55:34.020
His Scion into a Jhin became unkillable.

01:55:34.020 --> 01:55:38.980
His Swain that was into a Mal became unkillable.

01:55:38.980 --> 01:55:43.140
And he's just been able to take over the game from top lane.

01:55:43.140 --> 01:55:49.220
And I want to see if he can continue to do that because I think it's so core in how HLE could win MSI.

01:55:49.220 --> 01:56:01.520
But the thing for me is, I agree those were some incredible performances, but the situation, how he gets those options, how he gets those picks, it's all draft dependent, it's team dependent, it is contingent on having that R5, it's up to very heads up for the enemy team.

01:56:01.520 --> 01:56:16.400
Will BLG walk into it? Okay, maybe once, like look, everyone's gonna walk into it, maybe we might see a Mundo, we might see a Swain game, but those are really, really difficult situations to replicate, because you're right, Swain, Mundo, they can look incredible, but in the drafts where they're not good, they're useless.

01:56:16.400 --> 01:56:18.800
In the drafts where they're good though, they are that raid possible.

01:56:18.800 --> 01:56:23.800
Also, not to rub salt in the wound, I think if you give Jace to Bin and you pick Swain,

01:56:23.800 --> 01:56:27.300
I think we're getting a very different looking Swain coming into that game.

01:56:27.300 --> 01:56:28.700
I don't know what's going to be raid boss.

01:56:28.700 --> 01:56:32.700
Don't play as Bin, we can make the comparison, Rob, I don't know why we're doing this, you know?

01:56:32.700 --> 01:56:37.700
Looking at the stage of the competition, you know that gameplay and synergy is not something that you're going to be able to refine,

01:56:37.700 --> 01:56:42.700
so we really want to be looking at those drafts and how much you can implement, especially looking at these finals.

01:56:42.700 --> 01:56:45.860
And in the rematch against BLG, it's personal for Xeus.

01:56:45.860 --> 01:56:47.940
We know it, especially facing up against Bin.

01:56:47.940 --> 01:56:50.340
And he explained in the Verizon Game Day interview

01:56:50.340 --> 01:56:52.340
what they can make better about the draft.

01:56:54.100 --> 01:56:55.700
Xeus, thank you so much for joining me.

01:56:55.700 --> 01:56:58.380
Heading into finals, rematch against BLG.

01:56:58.380 --> 01:57:00.220
Let's talk about what went wrong last time.

01:57:00.220 --> 01:57:01.580
How do you reflect on the series

01:57:01.580 --> 01:57:04.420
that makes you think that tomorrow is going to be different?

01:57:09.100 --> 01:57:12.500
The more I realized these days is that Drafting

01:57:12.500 --> 01:57:16.180
has a huge influence of the series in the current meta.

01:57:16.180 --> 01:57:19.860
Blossom and BLG, they managed to prepare a really good draft

01:57:19.860 --> 01:57:22.740
by having a really good understanding of our tendency

01:57:22.740 --> 01:57:24.140
and our play style.

01:57:24.140 --> 01:57:26.540
That made the series really difficult to us.

01:57:26.540 --> 01:57:29.380
But now, we also have a great understanding of BLG,

01:57:29.380 --> 01:57:31.340
so we're not going to repeat the same defeats.

01:57:39.260 --> 01:57:41.980
Do you have any message for being ahead of tomorrow's series

01:57:41.980 --> 01:57:43.740
in the revenge matchup against him.

01:57:43.740 --> 01:57:46.300
Let's play one on one without the jungler support.

01:57:48.500 --> 01:57:49.620
Geek at Shattered once again,

01:57:49.620 --> 01:57:52.140
we know how it went last time though,

01:57:52.140 --> 01:57:53.140
bringing in the jungler,

01:57:53.140 --> 01:57:54.700
but we know that we're gonna be looking

01:57:54.700 --> 01:57:55.820
at this top lane matchup.

01:57:55.820 --> 01:57:58.020
It has been mostly about this throughout

01:57:58.020 --> 01:57:59.660
the entire tournament.

01:57:59.660 --> 01:58:01.060
How are we looking at this here?

01:58:01.060 --> 01:58:03.340
I mean, both of these guys won't be able to keep it up

01:58:03.340 --> 01:58:05.380
because they can't both pretend CSF 14.

01:58:05.380 --> 01:58:07.860
They've just, they've been dominating everybody else.

01:58:07.860 --> 01:58:09.900
The fact that they've actually played against each other

01:58:09.900 --> 01:58:11.580
and then it's still this high,

01:58:11.580 --> 01:58:13.580
How much they've been stomping on everybody else?

01:58:13.580 --> 01:58:15.580
Sometimes yet, we do cherry pick the stats.

01:58:15.580 --> 01:58:17.580
I know you said you did it a little bit.

01:58:17.580 --> 01:58:18.580
You said it might be a question.

01:58:18.580 --> 01:58:20.580
Here, we didn't put their stats against each other.

01:58:20.580 --> 01:58:22.580
Those numbers would be impossible.

01:58:22.580 --> 01:58:23.580
All these cherries.

01:58:23.580 --> 01:58:26.580
Well, the last of the face-up, they did lose 2% off of 4% each.

01:58:26.580 --> 01:58:29.580
So, you know, big swing, big swing when they face up against each other.

01:58:29.580 --> 01:58:32.580
That sounds like cowardice to me is what it sounds like.

01:58:32.580 --> 01:58:36.580
But I do find it really interesting what he also said about last time they had the edge in picks and bands.

01:58:36.580 --> 01:58:37.580
I mean, these teams are smart.

01:58:37.580 --> 01:58:43.380
These teams are smart. I don't think they got the edge because they exposed some unfixable flaw in HLE's champion pool.

01:58:43.380 --> 01:58:47.780
So I feel like they're actually going to be able to adapt and not get out drafted as hard as they did the last time.

01:58:47.780 --> 01:58:51.380
And looking at this, we know that it's a matchup specifically important for Bin.

01:58:51.380 --> 01:58:58.880
He's been stating it time and time again how he wants to prove that he is the best top laner in the world, especially coming in here against Zeus.

01:58:58.880 --> 01:59:02.680
And I'm just wondering, is it finally the time for him to prove it?

01:59:02.680 --> 01:59:08.360
It is his seventh international final, two and five score lines for him.

01:59:08.360 --> 01:59:11.240
Can Bin prevail finally with everything he said like that?

01:59:11.240 --> 01:59:13.960
I mean, especially when he's up against Seyes, this would be the moment to do it, right?

01:59:13.960 --> 01:59:18.760
Like, so often a husband Seyes, who stood in his way when he wants to try and get that world championship,

01:59:18.760 --> 01:59:22.760
there he could end up getting his second MSI title here today against them, but at least then

01:59:22.760 --> 01:59:27.160
he would be another notch in Bin's belt to make sure, hey, I'm able to put this guy on the ground.

01:59:27.160 --> 01:59:31.080
Yeah, and I think having that title for the LPL for Bin personally, especially up against Seyes,

01:59:31.080 --> 01:59:36.600
given all the history that they have is a big big deal, but we're really excited about top lane.

01:59:36.600 --> 01:59:42.200
A lot of the map fell apart before we got the honorable 1v1. So I kind of know what I'm feeling.

01:59:42.200 --> 01:59:48.680
I feel what you're getting on HLE. You're the LPL guy. Like I'm gonna default to you. Like all of my

01:59:48.680 --> 01:59:54.200
opinions, not matter because we got the Mr. LPL over here. Like for me, this feels like the perfect

01:59:54.200 --> 01:59:58.280
meta for BLG and especially when I look at the way the jungler and support have been playing,

01:59:58.280 --> 02:00:02.560
That's the deal breaker for me and it's what we saw that made the difference against Hanwa as well.

02:00:02.560 --> 02:00:04.980
Sean and On working together.

02:00:04.980 --> 02:00:08.040
On does not go down to Viper at any point in time.

02:00:08.040 --> 02:00:10.440
He's immediately moving around the map with Sean.

02:00:10.440 --> 02:00:14.040
He's making plays towards the mid lane for Nite to make sure that he has a comfortable lane.

02:00:14.040 --> 02:00:20.140
And as soon as they are able to get control against Kanavi, the entire map disintegrates for Hanwa.

02:00:20.140 --> 02:00:22.880
And I expect them to go towards a very similar style heal.

02:00:22.880 --> 02:00:26.880
Here, go for the Camils, the Shens, the counter picks with the Leona.

02:00:26.880 --> 02:00:31.400
Having an answer to Delight seems to be the focal point here for that man on your screen

02:00:31.400 --> 02:00:34.400
Yeah, and look Delight, Knavi are good at this as well

02:00:34.400 --> 02:00:40.160
But I think that PLG have been spent so much more successful in getting out of lane and a lot of that comes down to Viper

02:00:40.560 --> 02:00:41.560
Also

02:00:41.560 --> 02:00:45.560
Just, I mean let's be honest, we all know it's the thing that every AD carry hates

02:00:45.560 --> 02:00:52.120
But Viper is the king of the mage bot lane. Look, he brought it out 2018 cast lookup 2019 LCK spring

02:00:52.120 --> 02:00:56.760
Casio Vladimir he was cooking when no one else was cooking and winning with it

02:00:56.760 --> 02:01:03.160
So it's no surprise to see that that is finally paid off for him and we've chatted about this with him actually a couple days ago

02:01:03.160 --> 02:01:09.000
We remember the Griffin days. We remember what he was able to do with the hands in the bot lane for him

02:01:09.920 --> 02:01:12.180
Super easy to pick up this kind of champions again

02:01:12.180 --> 02:01:16.480
So let's check out what Viper had to say in the Verizon game day interview about this major

02:01:16.480 --> 02:01:18.920
Just look at it.

02:01:18.920 --> 02:01:21.720
Thinking about you and your early days at Griffin,

02:01:21.720 --> 02:01:24.640
you were already picking up on the AP Mages bot lane,

02:01:24.640 --> 02:01:26.840
and that's the kind of champions that you were playing back

02:01:26.840 --> 02:01:27.880
then when you were with Lehan.

02:01:27.880 --> 02:01:30.760
So how easy was it for you to pick up this champion,

02:01:30.760 --> 02:01:34.960
this Mera, and how much did that help this MSI?

02:01:34.960 --> 02:01:38.080
Honestly, it didn't even require me any kind of adaptation,

02:01:38.080 --> 02:01:40.360
because I played those picks so many times.

02:01:40.360 --> 02:01:42.240
It's almost like a muscle memory,

02:01:42.240 --> 02:01:44.320
and the champion pulled back then and right now

02:01:44.320 --> 02:01:46.680
about the mage bot lane overlaps a lot.

02:01:46.680 --> 02:01:48.840
So I was able to kind of lock in those picks

02:01:48.840 --> 02:01:51.240
with a lot of confidence in the current meta.

02:01:51.240 --> 02:01:52.680
And with me and Leehands,

02:01:52.680 --> 02:01:55.200
we were able to cook up so many different crazy stuff.

02:01:55.200 --> 02:01:57.840
And we know the strength and weaknesses of each comp.

02:01:57.840 --> 02:02:00.920
So we know how to play out the game based on the champions

02:02:00.920 --> 02:02:03.040
and we know how the games will unfold.

02:02:03.040 --> 02:02:06.800
So it was like so natural as if I was grieving.

02:02:09.280 --> 02:02:11.200
And that's where it makes the difference for him.

02:02:11.200 --> 02:02:12.720
It was, he said it himself,

02:02:12.720 --> 02:02:18.860
Muscle memory where other players here at MSI had to adapt onto this meta. We can see him innovate

02:02:18.860 --> 02:02:21.920
And where people had to pick up some champions

02:02:21.920 --> 02:02:25.120
I wouldn't be surprised that Viper has more under his belt coming here today

02:02:25.120 --> 02:02:28.920
I mean, I just love when 80 carries rose to prominence

02:02:29.280 --> 02:02:33.980
Dictates how good they are at mages. So let's look at the champions they've played so far at the world championship

02:02:33.980 --> 02:02:39.640
But specifically because of the Griffin era when Riot was actually trying to make beta's bot lane optimal

02:02:39.640 --> 02:02:46.600
He could just play all of them and he continues to have that muscle memory to this day where he can go back

02:02:46.760 --> 02:02:53.100
Turn back the clock to seven eight years ago and play all these picks that Guma just won't have the same number of reps on

02:02:53.100 --> 02:02:57.360
But it's also the fact that like he's able to take things like the Cassiopeia like nice

02:02:57.360 --> 02:03:01.160
It's considered one of the best if not the best player at the moment in the world

02:03:01.360 --> 02:03:06.160
And he's considered one of the best Cassiopeia's and he may not even be the best Cassiopeia on the team

02:03:06.160 --> 02:03:08.560
Like, they've taken that to give it to Viper in the bot lane.

02:03:08.560 --> 02:03:10.640
The flexibility has been incredible.

02:03:10.640 --> 02:03:14.200
And the fact that, again, this style enables on to start moving out of lane,

02:03:14.200 --> 02:03:18.160
enables to play for those solo laners that can't be so oppressive.

02:03:18.160 --> 02:03:21.400
It is the fact that Viper has said, hey, I will take a step back.

02:03:21.400 --> 02:03:24.440
And this was something that Dany had mentioned in interviews, saying,

02:03:24.440 --> 02:03:27.200
look, not everyone on this team can be a superstar.

02:03:27.200 --> 02:03:29.560
Someone is going to have to take this back seat.

02:03:29.560 --> 02:03:34.000
And it was Viper who said he'd step back and actually do that instead of forward, yeah.

02:03:34.000 --> 02:03:39.280
And this is where it's interesting because you know that you're not gonna be able to contest Viper on this type of ground

02:03:39.280 --> 02:03:42.240
So I'm wondering when you look at Guma your shift for me

02:03:42.240 --> 02:03:49.060
He embodies the weak side AD carry for what he can do in lane so can he take Viper out of his

02:03:49.760 --> 02:03:54.940
Out of this ground here and actually challenge him and bring him back to standard AD carries because he knows

02:03:54.940 --> 02:03:58.360
He's not gonna be able to challenge Viper on 80 mages. Look when we came into the tournament

02:03:58.360 --> 02:04:00.280
I was actually pretty confident that was gonna be the big edge

02:04:00.280 --> 02:04:04.360
It felt like HLE were much more comfortable with Guma on the bottom side when you look at the start of the year

02:04:04.360 --> 02:04:07.120
Viper didn't really fit in got a ton a ton of criticism

02:04:07.120 --> 02:04:11.560
But in this tournament as much as I thought Viper might be a liability might not be as comfortable in that role

02:04:11.560 --> 02:04:15.760
The mages bot lane and just his comfort playing 1v2 in a lot of situations

02:04:15.760 --> 02:04:20.840
I think has given him a massive edge that I did not initially expect to be there and to get into some of the specifics

02:04:20.840 --> 02:04:27.240
Even if Guma doesn't like playing mages. He's great at six so and in terms of like Zayu's playing raid boss champions

02:04:27.240 --> 02:04:31.520
J-Sigs, if it's left unbanned, that's going to be the Game 1 comp and how you match that.

02:04:31.520 --> 02:04:34.920
So I think Game 1 is potential. We see two mages in the bot lane and a bunch in the ADs.

02:04:34.920 --> 02:04:41.400
As the series progresses, the question is like, how do the scaling AD carry weak side picks that Guma plays

02:04:41.400 --> 02:04:45.760
compare to the fringe mages that Viper is going to be able to play?

02:04:45.760 --> 02:04:50.480
And I think if Zeyu is then able to be on the tankier picks, that's their answer.

02:04:50.480 --> 02:04:53.240
So I think he's going to be able to go even as to how the rest of the comp fits in

02:04:53.240 --> 02:04:56.480
around punishing BLG for having too much magic damage.

02:04:56.480 --> 02:05:03.080
And Bumak, he has some strong words about these mages and how much he dislikes them, I want to say.

02:05:03.080 --> 02:05:05.880
He was on Gage's stream yesterday, so let's check out what he said.

02:05:05.880 --> 02:05:07.380
He's back right now.

02:05:07.380 --> 02:05:09.380
Mage is bot, does he like them or does he dislike them?

02:05:09.380 --> 02:05:11.880
Do you like the one-deal AP bottom?

02:05:11.880 --> 02:05:13.880
No, I hate it.

02:05:13.880 --> 02:05:14.880
You hate it?

02:05:14.880 --> 02:05:15.380
Yeah.

02:05:15.380 --> 02:05:16.880
Okay, no more mage.

02:05:16.880 --> 02:05:17.780
Yeah, yeah.

02:05:17.780 --> 02:05:18.380
Okay.

02:05:18.380 --> 02:05:19.380
Too many.

02:05:19.380 --> 02:05:22.380
Took Melzix, Velkoz, all that stuff, crazy.

02:05:23.880 --> 02:05:25.080
Let's go, I hate it.

02:05:25.080 --> 02:05:31.080
And I will say this is absolute 80 carry privilege because no top laner in the history of the game has said I love

02:05:35.240 --> 02:05:39.920
Like all right guys time to rework top lane so they don't have to play tanks, but 80 carries like Ryan

02:05:39.920 --> 02:05:43.800
We need it. Have you heard top lanes with 80 carries in the top lane?

02:05:43.800 --> 02:05:48.360
I've not heard top laners shut up about that. If 80 carries are just a menace anywhere they go

02:05:48.360 --> 02:05:52.240
I feel you ban all 80 carries anywhere if you really want to get rid of it

02:05:52.240 --> 02:05:56.320
He can pull a 2018 reckless and retire and then right will be forced to act

02:05:56.720 --> 02:06:03.800
They will be forced to act. I don't know if that's what happened, but this is I this version of history is pretty hilarious

02:06:05.120 --> 02:06:10.040
We've heard it from the two of you. I haven't heard your prediction. So I I'm on the side of BLG

02:06:10.040 --> 02:06:14.200
I think for a lot of the reasons that Rob highlighted. I like what Jack brought up about those top lane picks

02:06:14.200 --> 02:06:16.160
I'm just not convinced that the edges gonna be there

02:06:16.160 --> 02:06:22.160
I think draft edge reliably going to be in more games favoring BLG and it comes to execution

02:06:22.240 --> 02:06:27.680
Canavi was really struggling against Shun and so while I believe the teams can

02:06:27.680 --> 02:06:31.520
reset I got the tape I have already seen them win once I think they're doing it

02:06:31.520 --> 02:06:35.960
again but there is always an option when BLG are just arrogant they can throw it

02:06:35.960 --> 02:06:39.440
on away like I know these guys so I'm kind of curious like what the fans are

02:06:39.440 --> 02:06:43.320
going to say because I don't know which way this one's gonna go and it's finals

02:06:43.320 --> 02:06:46.920
anything can happen and I want to hear it from the fans with the MasterCard

02:06:46.920 --> 02:06:48.920
Whoa

02:06:49.800 --> 02:06:51.800
Usually western fans are

02:06:52.800 --> 02:06:57.720
Heavily leaning towards the LCK. I was not expecting this. All right guys

02:06:57.720 --> 02:07:03.120
I'll just say that fan prediction rates the lowest I've seen so I don't trust y'all anymore. I'm gonna go with HLE

02:07:03.120 --> 02:07:07.880
I like to look at long-term trends. The LCK has won six of seven international titles

02:07:07.880 --> 02:07:10.900
I think that wins seven of eight. All right. What do we think is gonna come down to?

02:07:11.400 --> 02:07:13.400
Indians

02:07:13.400 --> 02:07:17.960
I think it's all about the bot lane, who gets to leave it the most, I think that's really

02:07:17.960 --> 02:07:18.960
the core of it.

02:07:18.960 --> 02:07:21.160
Xeus vs Ben in the late game.

02:07:21.160 --> 02:07:26.040
Xeus vs Ben in the late game, no junglers involved this time around, that's the only

02:07:26.040 --> 02:07:32.160
thing we want to see, things can change within a few days, last time BLG had the edge, but

02:07:32.160 --> 02:07:37.280
maybe, maybe H&D with the run they had, they can make it happen because all it takes is

02:07:37.280 --> 02:07:43.360
one day to write your name in history, one day to reap the rewards of years of hard

02:07:43.360 --> 02:07:51.360
one day to make it count, to get your revenge and cement yourself as the very best, to be your hometown hero.

02:07:51.360 --> 02:07:55.360
Or one of the very few who actually won it all.

02:07:55.360 --> 02:08:05.360
One day for BLG to get a step closer to that long-awaited Golden Road, or for HLE to finally prove that MSI belongs to the LCK here in Dejon.

02:08:05.360 --> 02:08:11.360
Both teams have called their shots, but only one can be victorious and it is time for your MSI 2026 Grand Finals.

02:08:11.360 --> 02:08:15.360
So let's meet the team in our player introduction presented by MasterCard.

02:08:41.360 --> 02:08:44.960
This performance, I don't know whether anyone wants to face BLEG.

02:08:44.960 --> 02:08:52.960
HLE will rise to the occasion, and they are in their place in the final.

02:08:52.960 --> 02:09:01.460
The LPL giants will take on the LCK first seed and show Gaeja what their worth.

02:09:11.360 --> 02:09:21.360
The two teams, BLG, HANA, and APL and SKL, have been fighting for a long time.

02:09:21.360 --> 02:09:27.360
One team has a long-term goal to complete the game.

02:09:27.360 --> 02:09:33.360
Another team has a chance to write a new story.

02:09:33.360 --> 02:09:39.360
I think everyone is still in the same team as the other team.

02:09:39.360 --> 02:09:43.360
Personally, I've been to the MSI once in my life,

02:09:43.360 --> 02:09:45.360
but I've been to the other place called the LCK,

02:09:45.360 --> 02:09:48.360
so it was a place that I've been to before.

02:09:51.360 --> 02:09:52.360
Life.

02:09:52.360 --> 02:09:53.360
One.

02:09:53.360 --> 02:09:54.360
Three years ago,

02:09:54.360 --> 02:09:59.360
two people walked towards the Golden Road.

02:09:59.360 --> 02:10:02.360
I've been to the Golden Road for three years.

02:10:02.360 --> 02:10:05.360
I've been to the Golden Road for three years.

02:10:05.360 --> 02:10:09.360
But I wish you could come to MSI when you show up and have a good time.

02:10:09.360 --> 02:10:13.360
At the time we were together with the Knights, we did well.

02:10:13.360 --> 02:10:15.360
And I think we did well.

02:10:15.360 --> 02:10:17.360
I think it was a good plan.

02:10:17.360 --> 02:10:21.360
In 2013, we won the LPL Spring and Summer.

02:10:21.360 --> 02:10:25.360
MSI was the last in the world.

02:10:25.360 --> 02:10:30.360
Their journey to the Golden Road was blocked by the last moment.

02:10:30.360 --> 02:10:32.240
80G, a solemn bow.

02:10:32.240 --> 02:10:33.720
Is their golden road is denied?

02:10:35.400 --> 02:10:39.000
Now, the two players face each other again.

02:10:39.000 --> 02:10:42.600
But this time, they have to overcome each other.

02:10:44.480 --> 02:10:46.000
I was in the graphine seven years ago,

02:10:46.000 --> 02:10:48.680
and I was a member of the Chinese PL team.

02:10:48.680 --> 02:10:50.040
When I first went to the PL team,

02:10:50.040 --> 02:10:52.560
the people around me helped me so much.

02:10:52.560 --> 02:10:53.640
I was really happy.

02:10:55.320 --> 02:10:56.280
When I was in the Stubborn,

02:10:56.280 --> 02:10:59.560
they gave me a good sign in the blue light.

02:10:59.560 --> 02:11:03.560
I decided to be a foreign member of the Korean War.

02:11:03.560 --> 02:11:05.560
I was a member of the Korean War.

02:11:05.560 --> 02:11:07.560
I was completely different from the Korean War.

02:11:07.560 --> 02:11:09.560
I wanted to be a foreign member of the Korean War.

02:11:09.560 --> 02:11:11.560
I wanted to be a foreign member of the Korean War.

02:11:11.560 --> 02:11:15.560
No.1 and no.2 are in one place.

02:11:15.560 --> 02:11:21.560
It is a great honor and a great honor to be a part of the Korean War.

02:11:21.560 --> 02:11:24.560
I have always been abroad.

02:11:24.560 --> 02:11:29.560
It was a big performance in Korea.

02:11:29.560 --> 02:11:32.560
I hope the performance will be successful

02:11:32.560 --> 02:11:34.560
when the finals are over.

02:11:36.560 --> 02:11:38.560
I'm very proud of you.

02:11:38.560 --> 02:11:40.560
I'm very proud of you.

02:11:40.560 --> 02:11:41.560
I'm very happy.

02:11:41.560 --> 02:11:47.560
I'm very proud of you.

02:12:47.560 --> 02:12:54.560
Now, only two teams will have the chance to challenge the top team.

02:12:58.560 --> 02:13:03.560
Now, I will introduce the two teams to you.

02:13:03.560 --> 02:13:08.560
First, this team came all the way to the top team without any chance.

02:13:08.560 --> 02:13:13.560
And the only Golden Road Gover in the world.

02:13:13.560 --> 02:13:17.560
from LPL!

02:13:17.560 --> 02:13:23.560
B-A-L-C-E!

02:13:28.560 --> 02:13:31.560
Ta-B-E!

02:13:38.560 --> 02:13:41.560
Tzang-Gae-C-E!

02:14:13.560 --> 02:14:23.560
And now, I'd like to introduce you to the 2nd half of the team.

02:14:23.560 --> 02:14:26.560
This is the home ground of this team.

02:14:26.560 --> 02:14:32.560
And this team has a lot to offer to BLG.

02:15:32.560 --> 02:15:34.560
Ta-da!

02:15:34.560 --> 02:15:37.560
Chaewon Show!

02:15:37.560 --> 02:15:39.560
Wow!

02:15:45.560 --> 02:15:50.560
Now, let's say a few words for the last two teams.

02:15:50.560 --> 02:15:55.560
First, from LPLP!

02:15:55.560 --> 02:16:01.560
L...Ch...

02:16:02.560 --> 02:16:16.560
Next is the MCK's Han Hwa Sae!

02:16:20.560 --> 02:16:23.560
Let's start with the final.

02:16:32.560 --> 02:16:35.560
Yo! Red!

02:16:36.560 --> 02:16:39.560
Okay! Let the finals begin!

02:16:39.560 --> 02:16:41.560
The winner of the Ego-Kiromu Game is...

02:16:41.560 --> 02:16:44.560
...Kadun-Meyon!

02:16:44.560 --> 02:16:45.560
Red!

02:16:45.560 --> 02:16:46.560
Red!

02:16:46.560 --> 02:16:47.560
Red!

02:16:47.560 --> 02:16:48.560
Red!

02:16:48.560 --> 02:16:49.560
Red!

02:16:49.560 --> 02:16:50.560
Red!

02:16:50.560 --> 02:16:51.560
Red!

02:16:51.560 --> 02:16:52.560
Red!

02:16:52.560 --> 02:16:53.560
Red!

02:16:53.560 --> 02:16:54.560
Red!

02:16:54.560 --> 02:16:55.560
Red!

02:16:55.560 --> 02:16:56.560
Red!

02:16:56.560 --> 02:16:57.560
Red!

02:16:57.560 --> 02:16:58.560
Red!

02:16:58.560 --> 02:16:59.560
Red!

02:16:59.560 --> 02:17:00.560
Red!

02:17:00.560 --> 02:17:11.920
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen to the MSI 2026 grand final.

02:17:11.920 --> 02:17:15.200
Firstly, just have to say a huge thank you to Castor Jun.

02:17:15.200 --> 02:17:19.240
It does not feel the same if we don't get the shite kage sumida.

02:17:19.240 --> 02:17:21.680
I just got to say, man, we see the player's trophy.

02:17:21.680 --> 02:17:23.680
Where's Castor Jun's trophy after that performance?

02:17:23.680 --> 02:17:24.680
Exactly.

02:17:24.680 --> 02:17:27.000
Someone needs to put a metal on his shoulders or something.

02:17:27.000 --> 02:17:29.120
I think he's got a few so far.

02:17:29.120 --> 02:17:34.260
The man has been around for quite some time and is incredibly good at what he does.

02:17:34.260 --> 02:17:38.420
And speaking of people that are pretty good at what they do, we have two teams that have

02:17:38.420 --> 02:17:43.620
faced off against one another only a few days prior, looking to see whether there can be

02:17:43.620 --> 02:17:46.740
a different result here today.

02:17:46.740 --> 02:17:48.940
And it's gonna have to start with support.

02:17:48.940 --> 02:17:54.020
I mean the support difference was huge simply because On was immaculate.

02:17:54.020 --> 02:17:58.060
He was so good, incredible, and he started the series with that Shen game.

02:17:58.060 --> 02:18:01.360
I feel like that is like perfect support play, man.

02:18:01.360 --> 02:18:02.400
He was everywhere.

02:18:02.400 --> 02:18:04.600
They defended the jungle, invaded.

02:18:04.600 --> 02:18:07.920
He got his jungler going, kept up the pace of the game.

02:18:07.920 --> 02:18:10.600
He even then made stand United plays later in sidelines

02:18:10.600 --> 02:18:13.680
with Knight as well, and completely accelerated

02:18:13.680 --> 02:18:14.800
and controlled the game.

02:18:14.800 --> 02:18:18.320
So, B.O.G., they just did such a good job

02:18:18.320 --> 02:18:20.640
attacking the game plan of HLE

02:18:20.640 --> 02:18:22.600
and defending against their win conditions.

02:18:22.600 --> 02:18:23.440
Absolutely agree.

02:18:23.440 --> 02:18:28.000
And I just felt like Knight as well was unreal in that series.

02:18:28.000 --> 02:18:30.700
I came into the tournament thinking he was the best mid laner in the world.

02:18:30.700 --> 02:18:32.760
I'm now thinking he's the best player in the world.

02:18:32.760 --> 02:18:38.840
This guy is in unreal form and Zeca is going to have to play a great series to keep him

02:18:38.840 --> 02:18:41.040
contained because Knight is so flexible.

02:18:41.040 --> 02:18:44.080
You can dominate lane, you can dominate the teamfights, you can move around the map, you

02:18:44.080 --> 02:18:48.040
can play melee, you can play control mages, you really can do it all.

02:18:48.040 --> 02:18:49.040
Yeah.

02:18:49.040 --> 02:18:54.040
And I think that for me, the most impressive thing the last time these two teams met was

02:18:54.040 --> 02:19:06.040
And how incredibly well he navigated each draft, getting the Shen, for example, finding the Akali counter pick to make sure that Zeku was entirely nullified in one of his most famous picks.

02:19:06.040 --> 02:19:16.040
And if you're an LCK fan, a T1 fan, especially, you might be thinking that Danny is maybe not the greatest coach. However, he has been absolutely phenomenal here at the BLG.

02:19:16.040 --> 02:19:21.880
I 100% agree. I did think you're gonna say the most impressive thing about him though was his jump kick

02:19:25.160 --> 02:19:29.260
Because that was clean too right when they smashed them

02:19:29.960 --> 02:19:36.800
All right, we are getting ready for champions like to if a game number one of the MSI grand final and here it is

02:19:37.040 --> 02:19:39.040
presented by HyperX

02:19:39.040 --> 02:19:44.120
BLG will be on our blue side to start this one off because HLE have elected to go for the first pick

02:19:44.120 --> 02:19:49.280
So there has been a lot of discussion about the mages and of course the mages bottom lane

02:19:49.640 --> 02:19:54.120
There's such a big difference between viper and a lot of carry players here

02:19:54.120 --> 02:19:57.440
Guma, you know on record for sure now saying he hates that

02:19:57.440 --> 02:20:01.960
You know please get the out of there, but what a chilly did focus last time in game number one

02:20:01.960 --> 02:20:04.880
They picked the ziggs that is his make that he'll play in the bottom lane

02:20:05.160 --> 02:20:09.040
The ziggs plus rail combination they can do other combinations with it

02:20:09.040 --> 02:20:12.280
But I want to see if they actually choose a different strategy now

02:20:12.280 --> 02:20:17.480
Or if they still want to get at least one of the primary mages out in fearless early on

02:20:17.920 --> 02:20:23.960
Yeah, it's gonna be really interesting to see you know how they want to approach here because vapor is just so flexible like this is his

02:20:23.960 --> 02:20:28.040
Meta yeah all the mages he said yeah, he could play everything and when this guy was coming up

02:20:28.040 --> 02:20:33.600
I was I was blown away by like this yasuo. You can I remember watching highlights from solo queue visit ribbon and like

02:20:34.120 --> 02:20:38.120
Wait a second you can just play every champion in the game like yeah, you can do that

02:20:42.280 --> 02:20:44.520
It's just kind of ridiculous.

02:20:44.520 --> 02:20:46.720
Viper has really flourished

02:20:46.720 --> 02:20:48.320
when there are different champions

02:20:48.320 --> 02:20:49.400
to play towards the bottom side.

02:20:49.400 --> 02:20:51.120
He was also in the middle when people were playing

02:20:51.120 --> 02:20:53.280
bottom lane Darius and Gangplank

02:20:53.280 --> 02:20:54.800
and all sorts of weird things.

02:20:54.800 --> 02:20:58.640
It was a strange time to exist there towards the bottom side.

02:20:58.640 --> 02:21:00.040
First pick though, is it the Ziggs?

02:21:00.040 --> 02:21:02.000
Do we actually need to lock it in first?

02:21:02.000 --> 02:21:04.000
Yeah, I don't know if it's gonna have to be locked in first.

02:21:04.000 --> 02:21:05.920
I did wanna point out that Syndra banned though.

02:21:05.920 --> 02:21:07.040
It is a double ban, you know,

02:21:07.040 --> 02:21:09.400
Fleshy talked about Viper playing a lot.

02:21:09.400 --> 02:21:11.480
But the Syndra, yeah, the Syndra has been played

02:21:11.480 --> 02:21:15.080
into the Ori and the Ryze with a 2-prime man 1, so that's why I definitely drew my eye.

02:21:15.080 --> 02:21:18.280
I'm really interested because we actually saw this from Lyon where they, we thought,

02:21:18.280 --> 02:21:21.000
okay, they're going to split it up, but then they let both through and they went least

02:21:21.000 --> 02:21:25.440
into Kali, and we know Knight has a dangerous Akali that he could bring out, so it might

02:21:25.440 --> 02:21:26.440
be a similar draft.

02:21:26.440 --> 02:21:31.400
Yeah, they've got a lot of things that can attack an Ori on, and Nocturne is also available.

02:21:31.400 --> 02:21:34.960
The idea usually, when you give over this champion, is that you're going to put pressure

02:21:34.960 --> 02:21:37.880
and burn her flash a lot and try and get kill pressure.

02:21:37.880 --> 02:21:39.360
And it did work, oh, it's actually...

02:21:39.360 --> 02:21:45.500
Yeah, Bart definitely does and of course we could still see Akali on two or three if they do want to go towards it

02:21:45.500 --> 02:21:49.200
They don't need to lucky Akali here, right? It's not likely that Zayac is gonna play that in the top lane

02:21:49.280 --> 02:21:54.440
So this is interesting to me and again the idea of Fearless always gets into it in the first game

02:21:54.560 --> 02:21:58.280
Do you think that oh because we have Viper's deep deep mage pool?

02:21:58.280 --> 02:22:03.680
Let's take away some of the safe AD carry picks. Well taking Ezreal away from Grumiyushi doesn't really do that

02:22:03.680 --> 02:22:09.080
He's not the biggest Ezreal player, but Bard Ezreal does give them that safety.

02:22:09.080 --> 02:22:12.580
It's a simple idea, you have safety form and let the Bard roam.

02:22:12.580 --> 02:22:19.580
There's the Relfar Delight, certainly one of his favorite champions, does care pretty nicely along with the Sigs if they do decide to go that way.

02:22:19.580 --> 02:22:27.080
Very interesting that this time they're not going for the knock turn, but didn't necessarily work the greatest when we saw it yesterday.

02:22:27.080 --> 02:22:33.080
So instead it is, whoa, okay, I thought it was actually if you were going to get locked, but they are going to take the Lee Sin away here.

02:22:33.080 --> 02:22:38.880
Something that has become very high prio amongst these top junglers in the world people have really been liking it

02:22:39.000 --> 02:22:43.960
We've been seeing a lot more variants when leesin comes through as well three can't face for a long sword look for early

02:22:43.960 --> 02:22:48.720
Gangs look for early skirmishes and try to push the pace and if you're expecting them to attack your Orianna

02:22:48.720 --> 02:22:53.600
Then this can be a good champion to play through mid lane and try to cover as actively after their

02:22:53.600 --> 02:23:09.600
The Ambeza-Fazayas as well. This is a powerful top side of the map, but still a whole lot of counterpicking can be done, and here's the first one with the Renekton potential answer, the Akali, another one into the Orianna.

02:23:09.600 --> 02:23:18.600
Yeah, it makes them choose, right? Which solo lane do you want to counterpick? I think this is the correct choice, by the way, even though Ben clearly does want the Renekton answer into it.

02:23:18.600 --> 02:23:29.600
Personally, I would prefer the Akali, get Knight on that Akali. He was nasty with it and if the Orianna definitely would be good, but of course the other counter-pick is also very good.

02:23:29.600 --> 02:23:36.600
Zayas, I feel like has been the best player on HLE if you take all of the games into account.

02:23:36.600 --> 02:23:45.600
Yeah, I mean he has been really, really strong and it's interesting, right? Because deciding between the Akali and the Reactor, I was kind of thinking the same as you that I would prefer the Akali, but at the same time, maybe Knight is saying,

02:23:45.600 --> 02:23:52.680
is saying hey there's gonna be good angles for Akali in later games and this is a really good angle for Ben on the renekton

02:23:52.680 --> 02:23:55.240
Be able to shut down Zayas on this ambassador

02:23:55.240 --> 02:23:59.440
This is one of those traditional difficult matchups that usually is banned out when you want to pick the ambassador

02:23:59.560 --> 02:24:02.760
And so they are gonna have that advantage in the top lane one-by-one

02:24:03.280 --> 02:24:08.880
Lushen gonna be taken away here from Grumichi certainly one of his favorite champions there towards the bottom side of the map

02:24:08.880 --> 02:24:15.040
especially for playing around that mid game and I think that HLE are gonna have to ban an Akali and then do they take away

02:24:15.040 --> 02:24:18.560
something like the Scana, but you have seen fun success in the things like the Lee Sin.

02:24:20.560 --> 02:24:25.760
Yeah, gonna be interesting here because you don't have some some extra way. They're okay,

02:24:25.760 --> 02:24:29.600
so they're going to ban the Poppy first. I still like you think they're also going to ban

02:24:29.600 --> 02:24:35.360
the Akali as well, but Poppy first because of the dashes of Lee Sin and Ambesa also makes a lot of

02:24:35.360 --> 02:24:39.600
sense. Yeah, it does and I mean if you are considering an aggressive page by, you know,

02:24:39.600 --> 02:24:44.000
if you're considering playing something like the pike even, then you know, that would be difficult

02:24:44.000 --> 02:24:48.080
to play against as well. Ziggs is going to be denied though, so I mean with Lucian you're kind of

02:24:48.080 --> 02:24:54.720
banning Lucian Milio, you're obviously stopping those Ziggs lanes very easily. We did see MF come out

02:24:55.280 --> 02:25:00.000
from Guma yesterday in their series when Berserker did go to the Ezreal, it was very effective both

02:25:00.000 --> 02:25:04.240
in the early lane as well as in the mid lane. Once he got the BT he could really kind of shrug that

02:25:04.240 --> 02:25:08.560
off and it can be difficult for Ezreal there, so it is an option that Guma could go back to,

02:25:09.120 --> 02:25:12.240
but we're expecting the Akali to get banned out here. I think it would be a big surprise and it's

02:25:12.240 --> 02:25:16.620
Well, they do take all of the time out of to do it and it will not be banned away

02:25:17.340 --> 02:25:23.800
The job to be denied from shown instead so maybe groomer and delight thinking about something like Sarah being something

02:25:23.800 --> 02:25:25.960
It's a little bit more susceptible to that cataclysm

02:25:26.040 --> 02:25:28.040
But I do still think that like

02:25:29.680 --> 02:25:33.160
I mean so are PLG that's that's what they're thinking about. Yeah, what?

02:25:34.320 --> 02:25:35.640
What's the trick here?

02:25:35.640 --> 02:25:39.560
I wonder if it's something they're thinking about like an angle with like granada or something that could shut it down

02:25:39.560 --> 02:25:41.640
Or like a Lulu that's gonna be good into it

02:25:41.640 --> 02:25:46.280
I'm trying to think about like what support picks to shut it down because it's not really about 80 carries shutting it down

02:25:46.280 --> 02:25:50.220
So that's kind of the only angle that I have is that they are worried that oh well

02:25:50.220 --> 02:25:53.760
What if what's the light goes X that can make it difficult in the 5e5s

02:25:53.760 --> 02:25:59.240
But I said so much fake and nice ability to pilot a colleague in these fights and give them a good matchup that

02:25:59.760 --> 02:26:02.400
I would be surprised to not see it. It might just be

02:26:02.960 --> 02:26:07.000
Caitlyn okay, so they're just debating between two different lanes here

02:26:07.000 --> 02:26:13.000
It could be Caitlyn Karma, it could be Caitlyn Lux, we've seen Caitlyn Elise, so it's really just, you know, kind of the dealer's choice on what they want to go.

02:26:13.000 --> 02:26:22.000
Yeah, the light might be on that relative considering earlier on that I would like them to play a little bit more lane-focused, and this is exactly that, as the comma will be locked in here for the light.

02:26:22.000 --> 02:26:29.000
The only thing for me with this HLE comp is that Ambesa's ult is harder to hit now, and you don't have great setup for it.

02:26:29.000 --> 02:26:33.000
You don't have really easy CC to be able to land some of these things.

02:26:33.000 --> 02:26:36.840
of these things. This is obviously very good with Mbessa and you can like hide in fog of

02:26:36.840 --> 02:26:42.800
war sometimes or get good angle sometimes or even sometimes just use slows maybe to be

02:26:42.800 --> 02:26:47.680
able to set it up and guaranteed hit those. But not the easiest.

02:26:47.680 --> 02:26:52.880
And it will be the Vick to lock in. So Noah Cowley hit the 9 point for a little bit more

02:26:52.880 --> 02:26:58.440
of that scaling damage. We've seen Vick to find a bit of success so far this MSI. But

02:26:58.440 --> 02:27:02.800
it's not really the direction that I was expecting this draft to take. However, if it wasn't

02:27:02.800 --> 02:27:06.200
and Kali there, maybe it feels a little bit too haphazard.

02:27:06.200 --> 02:27:08.520
Maybe the teamfight isn't as powerful as VLG wants it.

02:27:08.520 --> 02:27:09.920
Yeah, it could be a little bit more difficult.

02:27:09.920 --> 02:27:12.160
My kind of thought process is maybe they think top lane's

02:27:12.160 --> 02:27:13.520
just going to be a battleground because they

02:27:13.520 --> 02:27:15.400
went for that early Lee Sin because they have the best

02:27:15.400 --> 02:27:16.840
that they want to protect, and maybe they're saying,

02:27:16.840 --> 02:27:18.480
OK, we can't be in both lanes at once.

02:27:18.480 --> 02:27:20.320
Let's focus on playing through top.

02:27:20.320 --> 02:27:22.600
I also do think Karma is pretty annoying.

02:27:22.600 --> 02:27:25.520
The tether for Kali reveal is pretty annoying,

02:27:25.520 --> 02:27:28.840
and then the Macho Shield is always decent as well.

02:27:28.840 --> 02:27:31.160
But we'll see how it turns out here.

02:27:31.160 --> 02:27:36.440
going with the victory going with the scaling for mid lane and it also is

02:27:36.440 --> 02:27:41.600
going to mean the police in not going to be able to find that value into the

02:27:41.600 --> 02:27:45.920
the Akali that he would have otherwise as well and it's a little bit later in

02:27:45.920 --> 02:27:50.200
the game in the series where you may not have to deal with either the karma or

02:27:50.200 --> 02:27:53.200
the least in and I could find out

02:27:53.200 --> 02:27:57.800
And here he's got a skimmed champion, and he is pretty good at that one as well.

02:27:57.800 --> 02:28:02.200
The only time we'll tell, game number one is upon us last time around.

02:28:02.200 --> 02:28:05.600
BLG had this one extraordinarily quick.

02:28:05.600 --> 02:28:10.900
I remember there was a Kobe complaining about the series not quite being as competitive as we wanted.

02:28:10.900 --> 02:28:14.500
This is the grand final at MSI for 2026 though,

02:28:14.500 --> 02:28:19.200
and hopefully we'll get a good one this time around as already here under the Rift.

02:28:19.200 --> 02:28:23.200
So you have aggressive decent jugglers, D, want to be.

02:28:23.200 --> 02:28:26.200
Kenavi was such a big part of that kind of game series,

02:28:26.200 --> 02:28:31.200
when overlying, I thought he was straddling across a lot of different games.

02:28:31.200 --> 02:28:33.200
When this guy gets ahead, he has such a problem,

02:28:33.200 --> 02:28:36.200
because he pushes the pace in such an incredible way,

02:28:36.200 --> 02:28:39.200
constantly invading, forcing fights from that advantageous position,

02:28:39.200 --> 02:28:42.200
and putting inspired, at least in that one game,

02:28:42.200 --> 02:28:45.200
that scarter game, down three levels at one point.

02:28:45.200 --> 02:28:48.200
Yeah, and then BLG showed when they played against Kenavi,

02:28:48.200 --> 02:28:54.200
It could also be a problem if Knavi gets behind and the problem for HLE because of the counter

02:28:54.200 --> 02:28:56.200
and what they were able to do in game number one.

02:28:56.200 --> 02:29:02.200
So they did get the vision of him on the raptor pit and they're going to know that it is going to be topside down clear for him.

02:29:02.200 --> 02:29:08.200
So opposite clears here for our junglers and shouldn't be going to be playing up towards that bin matchup.

02:29:08.200 --> 02:29:12.200
Again, the renekton into Ambesa is very nice, especially early on.

02:29:12.200 --> 02:29:17.200
So we'll see how much bin can actually pressure because he's been very good at getting the maximum

02:29:17.200 --> 02:29:20.080
the maximum out of, especially his Renekton matchups.

02:29:20.080 --> 02:29:23.600
Yeah, I completely agree, and with this Nafiri coming in also,

02:29:23.600 --> 02:29:27.680
post-level six, it's not going to be easy because lane ganks are so easy to set up for.

02:29:27.680 --> 02:29:31.680
Nafiri doesn't always have to have a creative angle. She can't find them jumping over walls,

02:29:31.680 --> 02:29:35.120
but sometimes just the lane gank and the sun is enough, and Kanavi's looking for a level three top.

02:29:35.120 --> 02:29:39.680
Yeah, he's already here. Zayas is going to dive in. Is bin too far up? Will he have to flash?

02:29:39.680 --> 02:29:42.080
That is going to be the question here as the ward hop comes on over.

02:29:42.080 --> 02:29:44.800
The Tempest, Cripple will come down here from Kanavi.

02:29:44.800 --> 02:29:47.500
It's the Flash forward from Xeus, they won this first blood!

02:29:47.500 --> 02:29:52.220
It is the rabbit of the Rook of Terror that comes through and that is going to be first blood!

02:29:52.220 --> 02:29:53.720
Over to...

02:29:54.100 --> 02:29:59.760
Kenavi here, coming out of the jungle, and HLE off to a much better start already.

02:29:59.760 --> 02:30:03.260
Yeah, he does end up having a Flash forward, but that is still well worth.

02:30:03.260 --> 02:30:07.660
And they do it pretty quickly so he can recall and immediately go to his bot side camps.

02:30:07.660 --> 02:30:10.660
Now you know that Shun is going to have a little bit of extra time after he's clear.

02:30:10.660 --> 02:30:12.660
He's actually not finishing as clear.

02:30:12.660 --> 02:30:17.140
Look at him, he wants to go into the kill because Zaeus not recalling no flash.

02:30:17.140 --> 02:30:21.620
Oh, Jean actually not going to show himself here as he does back away.

02:30:21.620 --> 02:30:26.740
If that ward down, that is going to be the ambassador going home with that advantage.

02:30:26.740 --> 02:30:30.340
Yeah, Zaeus was trying to get that wave in, but realized it would be not safe.

02:30:30.340 --> 02:30:31.940
Ward hop, Tempest cripple.

02:30:31.940 --> 02:30:35.060
There's just not really any way out for Ben in this spot.

02:30:35.060 --> 02:30:36.980
I feel he played it about as well as he could.

02:30:36.980 --> 02:30:41.140
Throws the stun down onto Zaeus, tries to kite it out.

02:30:41.140 --> 02:30:44.740
Canceled auto it looked like there from Kanabi forces him to use the flash

02:30:44.740 --> 02:30:46.540
But then he can safeguard out to safety

02:30:46.540 --> 02:30:53.220
It's a nice little early gank here at least in one of those champions that we have been seeing utilize those quite a lot at MSI

02:30:53.460 --> 02:30:55.580
And he's got two quick longswords as well

02:30:55.580 --> 02:30:55.860
Yeah

02:30:55.860 --> 02:31:01.780
I want to see what happens over the the raptor response too because they do have vision on it and shun is definitely one to punish

02:31:01.780 --> 02:31:09.000
So I shouldn't got the full clear done meanwhile Kanabi finishing up with this crab and support difference as well in the room for those

02:31:09.000 --> 02:31:14.000
We can see the LPL and LCK MSI finals head-to-head there.

02:31:14.000 --> 02:31:17.000
So maybe another gank here, TP coming in aggressively.

02:31:17.000 --> 02:31:19.000
Yep, Kanavi's trying to get into position here.

02:31:19.000 --> 02:31:22.000
Zeca immediately has to flash to get himself out of the way.

02:31:22.000 --> 02:31:25.000
And it's Kanavi safeguarding himself to safety.

02:31:25.000 --> 02:31:27.000
Good cover there from Kanavi.

02:31:27.000 --> 02:31:30.000
Zeca with the aggressive TP does get punished loses his flash,

02:31:30.000 --> 02:31:34.000
but because the Leason is there, he will not lose anything more.

02:31:34.000 --> 02:31:39.000
And as you were saying, Isaac, this is the LPL tournament.

02:31:39.000 --> 02:31:45.000
It is. It has been, you know, in the finals, you know, versus the LCK, especially in the past, I will say.

02:31:45.000 --> 02:31:50.000
We have been having Gen G do very well in more recent years here at MSI.

02:31:50.000 --> 02:31:55.000
So LCK has been kind of running things internationally, it feels like, for that last couple of years.

02:31:55.000 --> 02:32:02.000
It was starting to feel like, hey, we're moving back into this previous LCK era, where it's just a matter of which LCK team wins.

02:32:02.000 --> 02:32:09.280
Then we come to first stand and all of a sudden both LCK teams out before the finals BLG win then here

02:32:09.280 --> 02:32:16.600
T1 out earlier than expected BLG in the finals after taking down HLE and HLE is now fighting for that LCK pride trying to

02:32:16.760 --> 02:32:20.960
Reestablish themselves as the best team in the world exactly it feels like BLG fighting here

02:32:20.960 --> 02:32:25.200
And they've got the year that looks like the revenge of LPL. They are

02:32:25.800 --> 02:32:27.600
Constructing the Golden Road

02:32:27.600 --> 02:32:31.280
At the moment with the first stand win and looking

02:32:32.000 --> 02:32:38.020
To repeat what they did in the winners brackets final here versus HLE and if they're to do so

02:32:38.020 --> 02:32:42.060
I mean it would be a quite a big global shift here

02:32:42.360 --> 02:32:46.500
It really would right and that's obviously so far off in this series

02:32:46.500 --> 02:32:50.440
But you know it has been also gay running things it has been them playing so well

02:32:50.440 --> 02:32:53.260
Of course, you know, this is where they are in the Golden Road thus far

02:32:53.260 --> 02:32:57.360
You know, they did win split one they went to first stand they won there and were quite dominant

02:32:57.360 --> 02:33:04.580
Honestly in that run then split to they went as well and now here they are in the MSI finals all the way through the upper bracket

02:33:04.580 --> 02:33:08.320
Halfway done. Of course the second half of it is a little bit more difficult

02:33:11.320 --> 02:33:13.560
Experience, you know, it's a bit happier to place

02:33:14.880 --> 02:33:19.740
Okay, a little bit of damage here on to delight but leason is the closer jungler as well

02:33:19.740 --> 02:33:23.900
So I was just gonna slip out. Yeah, man to W as well that from the lights help get

02:33:23.900 --> 02:33:27.580
good of that health bar back, one of the handy things here for the karma.

02:33:27.580 --> 02:33:32.460
One thing that will be fun about HLE if they are able to get over this hurdle this time around

02:33:32.460 --> 02:33:38.140
is that we will have a third organization here from the LCK being able to grab a trophy here at

02:33:38.140 --> 02:33:43.500
MSI really maybe giving themselves an opportunity to start another dynasty here because Genji and

02:33:43.500 --> 02:33:48.460
T1 really just have had a monopoly over these international tournaments outside of the weird

02:33:48.460 --> 02:33:51.380
the DRX split and the Dom1 era.

02:33:51.380 --> 02:33:52.500
I mean, they really have.

02:33:52.500 --> 02:33:54.980
And it's very cool to see ZAIS and Gumiuchi

02:33:54.980 --> 02:33:57.300
establishing themselves now on HLE, obviously.

02:33:57.300 --> 02:33:59.780
Tremendous to sex with T1,

02:33:59.780 --> 02:34:01.340
but weren't able to actually win that MSI.

02:34:01.340 --> 02:34:04.700
And now here on HLE with an opportunity to win a tournament

02:34:04.700 --> 02:34:07.100
that they weren't able to on T1.

02:34:07.100 --> 02:34:09.820
And really, you know, just showing that it is not just

02:34:09.820 --> 02:34:12.500
about that T1 org that they can have that success

02:34:12.500 --> 02:34:14.260
independent of that organization

02:34:14.260 --> 02:34:18.300
and have built an incredibly strong team here with HLE

02:34:18.300 --> 02:34:21.500
that did not immediately get the success they wanted.

02:34:21.500 --> 02:34:23.540
You think back to split one, they actually finished 10th,

02:34:23.540 --> 02:34:25.740
which is more of a format thing than an honest thing,

02:34:25.740 --> 02:34:26.820
to be honest.

02:34:26.820 --> 02:34:30.100
But still, Kanavi was not gelling immediately with the team

02:34:30.100 --> 02:34:31.700
and watching through split two,

02:34:31.700 --> 02:34:34.020
it was a night and day difference with this team

02:34:34.020 --> 02:34:35.420
on the same page as Kanavi.

02:34:35.420 --> 02:34:36.900
They have looked brilliant.

02:34:36.900 --> 02:34:37.980
I certainly have.

02:34:37.980 --> 02:34:40.980
Let's see if they can actually challenge

02:34:40.980 --> 02:34:44.940
and put the extra pressure here onto HLE,

02:34:44.940 --> 02:34:48.140
or onto BLG, because currently the early game is going well.

02:34:48.140 --> 02:34:51.840
You know, Kanavi had a successful move, they controlled the neutral objectives.

02:34:52.740 --> 02:34:55.440
Does feel a whole lot slower than what we were seeing before though,

02:34:55.440 --> 02:34:57.740
and I feel like this does benefit HLE.

02:34:58.040 --> 02:35:01.440
I feel like at this point, they were just running around their own jungle,

02:35:01.440 --> 02:35:05.040
trying to get as much as they possibly could, because things had already gone wrong.

02:35:05.440 --> 02:35:08.440
You can see these are the three times that Zeus and Gooma play down the side together.

02:35:08.440 --> 02:35:11.340
They were runner-up and then two third-place finishes.

02:35:11.640 --> 02:35:14.840
Both of those third-place finishes had the hands of BLG,

02:35:14.840 --> 02:35:16.540
so it's not just revenge for the upper bracket.

02:35:16.540 --> 02:35:24.860
They are looking for revenge against BLG here, who has stifled them a couple times at MSI.

02:35:24.860 --> 02:35:26.580
Just I remember it like it's yesterday.

02:35:26.580 --> 02:35:28.860
That depression really has not gone away.

02:35:28.860 --> 02:35:30.860
It's been a difficult cost.

02:35:30.860 --> 02:35:31.860
I never feel bad for you.

02:35:31.860 --> 02:35:32.860
I know.

02:35:32.860 --> 02:35:33.860
I know you do.

02:35:33.860 --> 02:35:34.860
It's so hard.

02:35:34.860 --> 02:35:39.140
I just won the last four world titles, but there was this one time where I got second

02:35:39.140 --> 02:35:40.140
at a tournament.

02:35:40.140 --> 02:35:42.300
It was so tough for me.

02:35:42.300 --> 02:35:43.300
I paid my dues.

02:35:43.300 --> 02:35:44.300
It's not on the OPL.

02:35:44.300 --> 02:35:45.300
The OPL, right?

02:35:45.300 --> 02:35:46.300
Yeah.

02:35:46.300 --> 02:35:47.300
They were a lot of winning it all.

02:35:47.300 --> 02:35:48.300
I'm staying in the LCS.

02:35:48.300 --> 02:35:54.860
That was the place to be initially though, and I'm glad that we've got league classic

02:35:54.860 --> 02:35:59.520
to see incredible plays like Doublelift being able to completely smurf it here on the stage

02:35:59.520 --> 02:36:00.520
once again.

02:36:00.520 --> 02:36:02.020
Back to our prime, eh?

02:36:02.020 --> 02:36:03.020
Yeah, exactly.

02:36:03.020 --> 02:36:04.020
Back to the good old days, right, Cody?

02:36:04.020 --> 02:36:05.020
Good old days are now, buddy.

02:36:05.020 --> 02:36:08.620
That's what five games against HLE.

02:36:08.620 --> 02:36:14.060
The present really isn't that bad with the top three for North America recently, but

02:36:14.060 --> 02:36:15.860
back to this game.

02:36:15.860 --> 02:36:19.680
It is really fun because there are so many titles between the different players on these

02:36:19.680 --> 02:36:22.860
teams and we're talking about all these different combinations.

02:36:22.860 --> 02:36:29.120
Also you know the coveted beat of getting one each of first stand MSI and Worlds is

02:36:29.120 --> 02:36:35.580
up for grabs here because of the earlier HLE where they won the first first stand.

02:36:35.580 --> 02:36:40.220
Zayas, Zeka and Viper all on that team so both teams here have the opportunity which

02:36:40.220 --> 02:36:45.180
means somebody's going to do it and collect all three even though it's not in the same

02:36:45.180 --> 02:36:52.780
year. Infinity Stones will be complete. Indeed. It could be double the amount of Infinity Stones completed if it is

02:36:53.740 --> 02:37:00.860
HL8 that managed to take that one over the line. But Viper being able to do it whilst also continuing down the Golden Road

02:37:00.860 --> 02:37:05.780
and ticking over that 50% mark towards getting everything for the year.

02:37:05.940 --> 02:37:13.780
It's kind of crazy like we've had League of Legends eSports for so long, but a team has never been dominant enough to win the entire year long.

02:37:13.780 --> 02:37:16.540
I mean, it speaks to how ridiculously difficult it is.

02:37:16.540 --> 02:37:18.160
The game is shifting all the time.

02:37:18.160 --> 02:37:19.680
There's multiple metas throughout the year,

02:37:19.680 --> 02:37:20.840
just because you're the best in one,

02:37:20.840 --> 02:37:23.640
does not guarantee that you will be the best in another.

02:37:23.640 --> 02:37:25.280
And even if you're looking that way,

02:37:25.280 --> 02:37:27.720
there's just so many tough teams to get past.

02:37:27.720 --> 02:37:30.640
And the more recent one where we did have

02:37:30.640 --> 02:37:34.320
pretty close Golden Road was that JDG team

02:37:34.320 --> 02:37:36.640
that had Kanavi and Knight on it.

02:37:36.640 --> 02:37:39.040
And now Kanavi's on the other side,

02:37:39.040 --> 02:37:42.080
trying to stop Knight in his endeavors.

02:37:42.080 --> 02:37:44.800
And last time around, Zaeus and Guma were there,

02:37:44.800 --> 02:37:48.520
and T1 were the ones to put a stop to it at Worlds.

02:37:48.520 --> 02:37:50.760
The large brick at the end of the road

02:37:50.760 --> 02:37:52.200
was definitely a heavy one.

02:37:52.200 --> 02:37:53.720
And it's a tough one to remove.

02:37:55.000 --> 02:37:56.320
It's also kind of interesting,

02:37:56.320 --> 02:37:59.440
talking about Viper in his road a little bit.

02:37:59.440 --> 02:38:01.320
Oh, Kanavi, maybe gonna look here.

02:38:01.320 --> 02:38:03.240
Yeah, he's gonna look to get himself out of the way.

02:38:03.240 --> 02:38:05.680
Public execution is going to pick up the crocodile.

02:38:05.680 --> 02:38:07.720
Dominus is running, but there is a kick back.

02:38:07.720 --> 02:38:10.280
The flash out, though, Zaeus follows him up,

02:38:10.280 --> 02:38:11.920
and Kanavi gets another.

02:38:11.920 --> 02:38:19.420
Canavi is having a good game and you know what that means. HLE are on fire, goes to Zaeus' lane.

02:38:19.420 --> 02:38:23.920
They hit the ultimate and that's all you need to guarantee the gap close there.

02:38:23.920 --> 02:38:29.920
Zaeus and Canavi are able to combine for another Canavi kill. Getting Lee Sin fed early, we have seen this before.

02:38:29.920 --> 02:38:36.920
We absolutely have and I just love this from Canavi. As soon as he completed the Eclipse, just goes straight up towards top with that Eclipse reveal.

02:38:36.920 --> 02:38:41.420
Ben needed to flash that but he thought he had the ability to sidestep and just couldn't quite get out.

02:38:41.420 --> 02:38:46.340
Yeah, I like the way he plays it. He goes point blank onto you. You know double dashes and slows band

02:38:46.340 --> 02:38:48.340
He's like, I am right on your face

02:38:48.860 --> 02:38:53.940
Now we're gonna be able to hit this and they set it up and then Konami can close and Konami still has his flash

02:38:53.940 --> 02:38:55.900
Well, both top laners exchange theirs

02:38:55.900 --> 02:38:59.580
And it's always just difficult when you are playing one of these early game bully matchups

02:38:59.580 --> 02:39:05.180
And you're getting preyed on by the enemy jungler because your time of power kind of gets whittled away

02:39:05.180 --> 02:39:09.860
I'm very very quickly and now you know we're 11 minutes in he does have that little CS advantage

02:39:09.860 --> 02:39:16.500
but the couple assists for Zayas have kept them basically dead even in gold in this matchup where Zayas will outscale and

02:39:16.940 --> 02:39:19.860
In theory should be more valuable in the 5v5

02:39:20.300 --> 02:39:25.800
Not to mention the fact that shun is getting less and less valuable right like being these more damaged focused junglers can make

02:39:25.800 --> 02:39:30.100
Things difficult he is up towards his top side of the map and he's got friends as you say Kobe

02:39:30.100 --> 02:39:33.860
Let's see where the Zayas can survive this one doesn't have the public execution

02:39:33.860 --> 02:39:38.680
But he doesn't want this to be public that is going to be the first kill for BLG and it goes tonight

02:39:38.680 --> 02:39:43.500
The cost is going to be hefty on the bottom side. You know the Caitlyn karma had already been doing a lot of work on

02:39:43.500 --> 02:39:50.580
Turflades pushing in using that range using the double poke and so they're gonna get quite close to the first turret bonus gold

02:39:50.580 --> 02:39:54.680
But BLG make the call. Hey, yeah, we are also worried about and that's a getting out of control

02:39:54.680 --> 02:40:01.020
So try and get that extra kill. Yep gonna be able to get up there and get that gooma getting a lot of gold though here

02:40:01.320 --> 02:40:07.260
800 gold ahead of viper who did slow down the push a little bit with that cross map as real all to clear out the way

02:40:07.260 --> 02:40:10.940
but Goomba is already on his first completed item, has the hex optics done,

02:40:10.940 --> 02:40:13.820
and you can see some of these first items really coming in across the board.

02:40:13.820 --> 02:40:16.100
You know, we have double Eclipse on the top side for HLE,

02:40:16.100 --> 02:40:20.480
we've got the Cyclosaur in the Eclipse, and first item also done now for Knight.

02:40:20.480 --> 02:40:25.180
Hasn't been too much talk about dragons, but it is HLE with the first two,

02:40:25.180 --> 02:40:26.420
even though they weren't contested.

02:40:26.420 --> 02:40:30.300
Also, big bonus when you make big plays like that up to this side of the map is,

02:40:30.300 --> 02:40:34.380
they leave behind extra vision because they just overloaded with four people,

02:40:34.380 --> 02:40:41.100
And so then when you're retaking there as on is under attack, then it gives up your next jungle clear

02:40:41.100 --> 02:40:44.700
And so they have really good timing estimations now on Kenavi

02:40:45.000 --> 02:40:53.660
So BLG do also have the extra information after the play HLE though continue to stack their dragons continue to execute their game

02:40:53.660 --> 02:40:58.100
Play nicely yep three and a half minutes, and then we have sole point on the cards here for HLE

02:40:58.500 --> 02:41:01.940
1000 gold lead. He's not the end of the world not to mention the fact that

02:41:01.940 --> 02:41:14.940
that BLG are getting towards the two items back for Viper right wanting to play around I think probably closer to two items here in this game rather than anything else so the mid game could be very, very scary from this squad.

02:41:14.940 --> 02:41:27.940
And HLE gonna have to stay on their toes if they want to make this one work so far so good and definitely much better than before as Kenavi possibly jumped on here is on takes a very short magical journey and gets a flash out of Kenavi.

02:41:27.940 --> 02:41:32.640
So the pressure taking the flash off Lee Sin, the fed member here on HLE is going to be

02:41:32.640 --> 02:41:36.140
pretty valuable, but on just trying to harass him as much as he can, seeing if there's a

02:41:36.140 --> 02:41:42.020
way to actually stop that recall and Zayas just barely gets out on that recall.

02:41:42.020 --> 02:41:49.460
Yeah, the Q actually tags him momentarily that he is able to get back home once again.

02:41:49.460 --> 02:41:53.660
25 CS is going to be the lead here, a little bit above that here for Bin.

02:41:53.660 --> 02:41:58.940
So, actually despite the fact that he died a couple of times in lane hasn't really changed

02:41:58.940 --> 02:42:01.140
how this matchup has been going in the 1v1.

02:42:01.140 --> 02:42:05.540
Yeah, not too much and I think one of the critical things about it is that he was always

02:42:05.540 --> 02:42:09.140
pushing so it's not as though he lost a big wave at his tower on any of these deaths,

02:42:09.140 --> 02:42:10.140
right?

02:42:10.140 --> 02:42:13.180
He had actually already cleaned the CS, pushed it up and then Wednesday has died, it was

02:42:13.180 --> 02:42:14.180
at his tower.

02:42:14.180 --> 02:42:17.420
He was 4 man dove so lost some CS there, Ben was able to get some play gold and that

02:42:17.420 --> 02:42:22.540
has kept him in a pretty comfortable spot thus far in the 1v1 but still I think all

02:42:22.540 --> 02:42:26.280
All things considered, HLE super happy with how this game is going.

02:42:26.280 --> 02:42:30.920
Guumann-Kannabi, super accelerated, you use that bot pressure to get the early dragons.

02:42:30.920 --> 02:42:35.620
It's an infernal soul that will be available this game and they would love to continue stacking.

02:42:35.620 --> 02:42:38.780
Oh, Kannabi has found his old friend here, is Knight Blascoons his way up.

02:42:38.780 --> 02:42:43.920
There's the resonating strike to follow from the Lee Sin, kicks him into the wall and he'll just find the kill!

02:42:43.920 --> 02:42:48.180
Second grabs and assists with a command protect, but that was all Kannabi.

02:42:48.180 --> 02:42:51.900
Everything done so well from Kannabi there, you know, dashed out of the gravity field,

02:42:51.900 --> 02:42:55.900
lands a cue, Autos are prompt to get his energy back, takes it over the wall after the last

02:42:55.900 --> 02:42:56.900
cone.

02:42:56.900 --> 02:42:59.500
And then Miyoshi, he can have to get out of the way, and Shrenhand will see whether that

02:42:59.500 --> 02:43:01.700
flash is going to be enough here as they turn it.

02:43:01.700 --> 02:43:05.700
He's on a trap, and Shrenhand is able to flip his way out, but Kanabi is going to get there.

02:43:05.700 --> 02:43:08.340
And it's actually Zekka that locks up the kill.

02:43:08.340 --> 02:43:12.300
Tower goes down in the bottom lane, and HL here up to the racist in mid.

02:43:12.300 --> 02:43:16.580
They absolutely are, and they're going to go for the Herald cue as well, with already

02:43:16.580 --> 02:43:20.220
so much damage dealt to these towers from this Caitlyn, but they don't want to get this

02:43:20.220 --> 02:43:21.220
up.

02:43:21.220 --> 02:43:26.020
back in, they do have double TP available, been not coming just yet. Knight is there though.

02:43:26.020 --> 02:43:29.540
Yep, Kanavi gonna see whether he can get this smite down, is going to be out of land at there,

02:43:29.540 --> 02:43:34.100
as the gravity well has been able to hold him in somewhat position. Saitha gets him over the

02:43:34.100 --> 02:43:38.980
wall, tempered fate holds him in place, but he's got the ball, it's actually going to be the death

02:43:38.980 --> 02:43:44.100
ray that does it from Knight, so they do manage to get that shut down. Kanavi's still incredibly

02:43:44.100 --> 02:43:49.140
far ahead. That's a big one to get though, and I believe that went to the hands of Knight, correct?

02:43:49.140 --> 02:43:52.820
So that is exactly where they want their money.

02:43:52.820 --> 02:43:55.460
You know, BLG, so many of their games.

02:43:55.460 --> 02:43:58.380
It's always when night is fed, when night is fed,

02:43:58.380 --> 02:44:00.740
they are able to retake control.

02:44:00.740 --> 02:44:02.620
But let's take a look at how it happened.

02:44:02.620 --> 02:44:04.820
Yeah, Guma, just 90 caliber nets in aggressively

02:44:04.820 --> 02:44:06.900
for the trade, has to flash out when he sees Shun

02:44:06.900 --> 02:44:09.060
and then Shun flashes, goes in with the AWP

02:44:09.060 --> 02:44:11.540
with the early tether from the light, roots him up.

02:44:11.540 --> 02:44:13.980
Kanabi arrives very quickly.

02:44:13.980 --> 02:44:16.460
Zeka TP's in, they get that kill.

02:44:16.460 --> 02:44:17.900
And then this is afterwards.

02:44:17.900 --> 02:44:22.020
You can see Bin had his TP but decides, you know what, the Dragon or rather the Herald is already going to be gone.

02:44:22.020 --> 02:44:23.260
I'm just going to walk bot.

02:44:23.260 --> 02:44:28.420
Knight TP's up, but him and on are able to actually combine to take down the Lee Sin.

02:44:28.420 --> 02:44:33.540
The Karma Shield expired during that bar at all, so they're able to burst him right when he comes out of it.

02:44:33.540 --> 02:44:35.940
Looks like the Ezreal got the shut down there.

02:44:35.940 --> 02:44:38.340
I believe from the kill call at.

02:44:38.340 --> 02:44:45.060
Oh, Kanabi is a little bit upset about that last death, and he is just going to come out of a replay and absolutely destroy Shun.

02:44:45.060 --> 02:44:48.980
Now, Shelly's getting to work in this out of turret, and this snowball is starting to roll.

02:44:48.980 --> 02:44:53.780
Still only about a thousand gold, given the fact that that tower fell down towards the bottom side.

02:44:53.780 --> 02:44:57.860
But that's Kanavi on the dragon immediately afterwards. That's sole point.

02:44:57.860 --> 02:45:04.100
And HLE will definitely be able to make use of this infernal soul as Zes goes in with the public execution.

02:45:04.100 --> 02:45:07.340
Bin taking a fair bit of damage here, but it doesn't look too perturbed.

02:45:07.340 --> 02:45:11.740
Jekka's rotating over as well as the bottom lane, so Bin's gonna have some visitors soon.

02:45:11.740 --> 02:45:14.700
Yeah, the orb is now on him. Shockwave picks up the crocodile.

02:45:14.700 --> 02:45:16.340
He doesn't really know who he wants to fight.

02:45:16.340 --> 02:45:18.700
And the answer is there's no good choice.

02:45:18.700 --> 02:45:21.420
He is going to be taken down here once again in the top lane.

02:45:21.420 --> 02:45:24.500
HLE have set the pace for this game.

02:45:24.500 --> 02:45:26.460
All game long.

02:45:26.460 --> 02:45:30.180
Kanabi, three-camp gank onto the top side,

02:45:30.180 --> 02:45:31.580
and then consecutive plays here.

02:45:31.580 --> 02:45:33.940
Even after he gave up the shutdown,

02:45:33.940 --> 02:45:35.740
and Viper's able to cash in on that,

02:45:35.740 --> 02:45:38.660
they made the Herald play while taking Dragon

02:45:38.660 --> 02:45:40.580
and catch BLG a little bit off guard.

02:45:40.580 --> 02:45:42.300
And then after that, the domino effect.

02:45:42.300 --> 02:45:48.400
You can transition your pressure from the mid lane up to Bin's lane and get another kill.

02:45:48.400 --> 02:45:51.200
And I just love how this is buying time for Guma as well, right?

02:45:51.200 --> 02:45:55.300
Caitlyn very strong at the early levels, then kind of needs some time to get some items completed.

02:45:55.300 --> 02:46:00.400
Guma has all of the parts for the IE. He is rushing in towards that two item, Power Spike.

02:46:00.400 --> 02:46:05.000
And he's going to have a very expensive two items here done pretty soon.

02:46:05.000 --> 02:46:08.700
And then once he hits three, four, five, you know, it just kind of goes up into the right.

02:46:08.700 --> 02:46:11.500
Caitlyn becomes such a beast in the later stages.

02:46:11.500 --> 02:46:13.620
Well, there are two more beasts on the map right now.

02:46:13.620 --> 02:46:16.820
Thanks to our Coinbase Goldgrind for highlighting Kanavi and Shen.

02:46:16.820 --> 02:46:21.380
And this is the biggest difference from the last time these two teams faced off.

02:46:21.380 --> 02:46:26.420
I felt like Shen was everywhere, suffocating HLE in that first game.

02:46:26.420 --> 02:46:29.780
Last time, this time, it is show on the other foot.

02:46:29.780 --> 02:46:33.420
As Kanavi going to demonstrate it right now gets the magical journey out of on

02:46:33.420 --> 02:46:34.860
and Knight is able to walk it off.

02:46:34.860 --> 02:46:36.820
Yeah, I mean, two full completed items.

02:46:36.820 --> 02:46:39.860
This is definitely a very big difference at the moment with the extra sunner

02:46:39.860 --> 02:46:46.120
Sky 2 and the Steelcaps being completed. It's just so much tankiness. You know this early on into the game

02:46:46.600 --> 02:46:50.960
Into a nefiri renektan and Ezreal here very very high value out of those

02:46:51.040 --> 02:46:52.140
Yeah, they're super strong

02:46:52.140 --> 02:46:56.640
And I mean you talked about the difference between last series of this series between these two junglers a lot of it is

02:46:56.640 --> 02:46:59.640
You know we saw on and how he was able to get out on the map this time

02:46:59.640 --> 02:47:04.640
It was hard because Guma into light were perma pushing a bot side a lot of them the stack dragon put that pressure on

02:47:04.640 --> 02:47:09.580
Oh, Zeca finds the shockwave tries to dash cannon out of the temperate, but he is held into position

02:47:09.860 --> 02:47:15.300
Cosmic Binding doesn't quite do it, but there's the arcane storm, and the shutdown goes over to Viper yet again!

02:47:15.300 --> 02:47:19.180
Pin now trying to get on top of Canavi, who does get himself out of the way.

02:47:19.180 --> 02:47:23.980
And H.H. Lee without their midlaner now, facing down a four versus, I'm sorry, a clear.

02:47:23.980 --> 02:47:29.420
Three versus three here towards this topside, but there are five people from BLG that can arrive at a moment's notice.

02:47:29.420 --> 02:47:31.940
Pin being one of them, but he does back away.

02:47:31.940 --> 02:47:34.900
And meanwhile, they've got Caitlyn just pushing on bottom side there.

02:47:34.900 --> 02:47:39.340
Gumi Ushi playing PVE out in the mid lane. He's going to get the rest of that turret too.

02:47:39.340 --> 02:47:39.840
Hang on.

02:47:40.460 --> 02:47:42.920
Okay, well, can BLG actually find something out of this?

02:47:42.920 --> 02:47:44.440
It's Shun looking for an angle here.

02:47:44.440 --> 02:47:48.520
Doesn't get the Darkened Daggers in as they're trying to soften them up as they go for the dive.

02:47:48.520 --> 02:47:49.680
Yarkane's zone goes down.

02:47:49.680 --> 02:47:51.520
Yet again, Public Execution comes in.

02:47:51.520 --> 02:47:52.020
It's Shun.

02:47:52.020 --> 02:47:55.180
It may be a little bit of trouble, but they haven't been able to lock down the kills just yet.

02:47:55.180 --> 02:47:56.940
True Shopper Arch comes in!

02:47:56.940 --> 02:48:00.080
And Viper locks down two Nightcrabbing killcredits.

02:48:00.080 --> 02:48:05.200
Zekka will finally come back from the death chamber and grabs the shutdown onto Bin.

02:48:05.200 --> 02:48:08.120
Now he's dashing forward, looking for Shun.

02:48:08.120 --> 02:48:10.580
And Gimera is looking to just maybe win the game.

02:48:10.580 --> 02:48:14.740
You're talking about PBD, he's forgotten that there are other people on the map

02:48:14.740 --> 02:48:16.580
and he is just killing those structures.

02:48:16.580 --> 02:48:20.380
I mean this is fantastic for HLE. There was five members from BLG.

02:48:20.380 --> 02:48:22.740
Yes, they killed the tower, yes they got a couple kills,

02:48:22.740 --> 02:48:25.740
but HLE got one back and they were in a 3v5.

02:48:25.740 --> 02:48:30.220
Now the IE is complete. Goumage is farming plates across the map here

02:48:30.220 --> 02:48:32.540
and BLG just committed so heavily here.

02:48:32.540 --> 02:48:34.980
They knew they had to make something happen.

02:48:34.980 --> 02:48:39.860
bin comes back he pops the all they go in but look at Zayas chunking down Viper

02:48:39.860 --> 02:48:45.220
taking down on getting those minions low making it difficult they do try to lay

02:48:45.220 --> 02:48:47.860
try and make it difficult you can tell from the beginning this replay the

02:48:47.860 --> 02:48:53.060
tower was full health in mid lane Viper is continually cashing in though oh yeah

02:48:53.060 --> 02:48:57.980
shut down and then this as well much more money to this Ezreal and they're on

02:48:57.980 --> 02:49:02.660
the baron they are it's down to 50% health so far on just playing some defense

02:49:02.660 --> 02:49:04.900
and Sierra's Delight trying to get some vision down,

02:49:04.900 --> 02:49:05.660
but he is spotted.

02:49:05.660 --> 02:49:07.020
They know exactly what's going on,

02:49:07.020 --> 02:49:08.260
but can they do anything about it?

02:49:08.260 --> 02:49:10.740
The answer is absolutely not.

02:49:10.740 --> 02:49:13.620
And HLE's gold lead is starting to dwindle now,

02:49:13.620 --> 02:49:16.260
and it might be even more at risk

02:49:16.260 --> 02:49:18.020
as this baron buff plays out.

02:49:18.020 --> 02:49:20.420
Yeah, that's a pretty big play there from BLG.

02:49:20.420 --> 02:49:22.980
I will say they're not that strong this season,

02:49:22.980 --> 02:49:25.740
but still it is a big deal, big injection of gold.

02:49:25.740 --> 02:49:28.160
We'll see if they can actually use some of this baron power

02:49:28.160 --> 02:49:29.540
to maybe set up for this next dragon,

02:49:29.540 --> 02:49:31.700
because that is where it feels like things will be decided.

02:49:31.700 --> 02:49:33.360
The HL League gets the Infernal Soul.

02:49:33.360 --> 02:49:35.660
I feel like they have a stranglehold on this game.

02:49:35.660 --> 02:49:36.920
It is critical to me, though.

02:49:36.920 --> 02:49:41.200
BLG with no flash on that victor for Knight.

02:49:41.200 --> 02:49:42.040
Could be critical.

02:49:42.040 --> 02:49:43.840
No flash on him or Viper.

02:49:43.840 --> 02:49:46.240
So there is going to be a difference in safety

02:49:46.240 --> 02:49:48.120
for the back line carries here.

02:49:48.120 --> 02:49:49.600
Yeah, it's going to be so much harder again in Goumins.

02:49:49.600 --> 02:49:51.760
That guy, as you're saying, they both have their flash.

02:49:51.760 --> 02:49:54.640
So a lot of those key playmaking abilities.

02:49:54.640 --> 02:49:56.040
Kanabi's going in.

02:49:56.040 --> 02:49:58.300
Wow, half of his health bow with a dissonance resonating

02:49:58.300 --> 02:50:00.440
strike.

02:50:00.440 --> 02:50:01.400
And that's the jungle.

02:50:01.400 --> 02:50:05.960
They're going to require him in 6 seconds time when this dragon does spawn.

02:50:05.960 --> 02:50:09.880
Control vision does go over, Zayas does find Shurn one more time.

02:50:09.880 --> 02:50:13.040
He's got the defense of his bottom lane alongside him.

02:50:13.040 --> 02:50:15.240
We're still waiting for Knight to make his way over,

02:50:15.240 --> 02:50:16.800
and each of these started off his tricks.

02:50:16.800 --> 02:50:20.080
Zayas now slips off into the Vagabour and there is the trap line.

02:50:20.080 --> 02:50:23.720
Bin going to have to try and break it open, but he's taking so much damage.

02:50:23.720 --> 02:50:25.840
It's going to be 5, but it takes it!

02:50:25.840 --> 02:50:27.160
He's taking everything so far.

02:50:27.160 --> 02:50:30.360
This game as Bin goes in, looks for the angles, Zayas does the same thing.

02:50:30.360 --> 02:50:35.240
public execution and they take down Viper. Their former AD carry now lying on the floor,

02:50:35.240 --> 02:50:40.120
Shun going on target hole and they do get rid of Zayas. Now Kanavi gets the kick back on their

02:50:40.120 --> 02:50:46.840
Shun and now he is in a long step and HLE wipe them off the rift. It's a triple for Mula.

02:50:46.840 --> 02:50:51.160
That is massive. Remember the mid lane is so soft enough so Knight actually has to try to clear

02:50:51.160 --> 02:50:57.880
up these waves as fast as he can. Kanavi with a huge kick there on Shun out of his alt in onto

02:50:57.880 --> 02:51:01.880
Guma when Guma was low, he kicked him out of the air, protected his AD carry.

02:51:01.880 --> 02:51:05.880
Yeah, BLG, they're looking into that as Seoul first thing here, and so they go for

02:51:05.880 --> 02:51:09.880
on trying to barred off the large clump of champions up at the top side

02:51:09.880 --> 02:51:14.880
so they can get the dragon to combo with Viper and Shun to get that, but then look at the fight as they turn.

02:51:14.880 --> 02:51:18.880
Exactly, Guma was very well protected, and Zayas created so much space here

02:51:18.880 --> 02:51:23.880
for the team, gets in, the Shockwind connects as well onto Viper, they delete him, then

02:51:23.880 --> 02:51:26.880
you can see Shun goes back over the wall, but Bin is getting in on Guma,

02:51:26.880 --> 02:51:32.560
This is where the kick comes in, goes for the off-in on to him, Kanabi says you shall not pass buddy.

02:51:32.560 --> 02:51:37.800
Guma stays safe, kicks him away from his AD carry and Guma cleans up.

02:51:38.460 --> 02:51:47.960
A much better looking fight this time around for HLE here in game number one. 11 to 6 is the kill score and only one Baron remains.

02:51:47.960 --> 02:51:53.460
The Rebel Baron power plate not exactly looking fantastic is my goodness, those damage numbers for Gumiichi.

02:51:53.460 --> 02:51:59.460
There's a reason why Caitlyn has been feared all these years, and he's now got three items put together

02:51:59.460 --> 02:52:05.460
just looking for some armor penetration to finish off the fourth, and he is just gonna be a raid boss.

02:52:05.460 --> 02:52:11.460
This has been insane for HLE, and his targeting and their team's targeting on Viper.

02:52:11.460 --> 02:52:16.460
Having said, oh Viper had just gotten two shutdowns and a bunch of extra kills on the Ezreal,

02:52:16.460 --> 02:52:22.460
and so they just annihilate him at the beginning of the fight. That was extremely well done on the turn from HLE.

02:52:22.460 --> 02:52:29.180
and they had the luxury of being able to have more chances at Dragon souls in just under three minutes

02:52:29.180 --> 02:52:33.520
Yeah, I mean I completely agree because the beginning of the fight was looking like BLG might have had the better positioning

02:52:33.520 --> 02:52:36.360
But say it's just gets in the backline with that shockwave two over the top and

02:52:36.980 --> 02:52:43.040
Viper who had been running this game and having a great tournament just gets deleted and it flips the fight on its head

02:52:43.140 --> 02:52:48.280
Bit of a flank angle here potentially for Ben is that it net gets Gumiuchi out of the tempered fade

02:52:48.640 --> 02:52:51.340
See where this crocodile is lurking though. That's the question is

02:52:52.460 --> 02:52:53.820
He gets Zayac into the backline again.

02:52:53.820 --> 02:52:55.060
Ben might be too late this time,

02:52:55.060 --> 02:52:57.500
but Viper does create some distance

02:52:57.500 --> 02:52:58.620
and takes down Zayac.

02:52:58.620 --> 02:53:00.340
Gumiishi pushed out of the fight,

02:53:00.340 --> 02:53:02.780
though, as Ben is massive looking for the angle.

02:53:02.780 --> 02:53:04.580
But Kenobi's another carry,

02:53:04.580 --> 02:53:06.780
and he's just wiping him out where they stand.

02:53:06.780 --> 02:53:07.860
Ben clutches in.

02:53:07.860 --> 02:53:11.220
He'll find the cold amic to take out the Katelyn,

02:53:11.220 --> 02:53:13.340
but the rest of his teammates are dead.

02:53:13.340 --> 02:53:15.140
Dude, they nerfed their best results

02:53:15.140 --> 02:53:17.700
to make it harder to hit on people.

02:53:17.700 --> 02:53:20.500
You can nerf the chip, but you can't nerf the player.

02:53:20.500 --> 02:53:22.500
Xeus is going crazy!

02:53:22.500 --> 02:53:24.500
Finds Viper again!

02:53:24.500 --> 02:53:29.000
It is so worth. I mean, even though he's the first one to go down on this side of the map,

02:53:29.000 --> 02:53:33.000
you'll see the rest of the team winning the teamfight because of all this pressure.

02:53:33.000 --> 02:53:36.500
Look, both carries are running from Xeus here away.

02:53:36.500 --> 02:53:40.500
He flashes into so much damage with so much pressure, the rest of the team just believes should.

02:53:40.500 --> 02:53:42.500
Exactly. Look how low Guma was.

02:53:42.500 --> 02:53:44.500
Imagine if he's not putting that pressure on the backline.

02:53:44.500 --> 02:53:48.500
Any damage from Night, any damage from Viper, Guma would have been dead so early.

02:53:48.500 --> 02:53:56.220
And look how much health Ben loses there tether into trap into the reset with that that easy to get even more headshots

02:53:56.220 --> 02:54:02.820
And they almost got one shot, but at least got one kill back HLE though on so point five K Lee taking away camps

02:54:03.260 --> 02:54:06.900
HLE started to run away with this one and Guma very close to the LDR

02:54:06.940 --> 02:54:12.740
That's gonna mean a hundred percent crit for this K Lee who's already been so hard to deal with I don't think Ben is gonna

02:54:12.740 --> 02:54:18.020
lost that long next time around. I think you're exactly right there, Zale. It's going to be

02:54:18.020 --> 02:54:24.580
a tough one for BLG to come back in, but man, if they manage to do so, this series could really

02:54:24.580 --> 02:54:30.660
get difficult for HLE. It's mentally rebounding for a series like that. Can be tough.

02:54:30.660 --> 02:54:36.020
I like it, Alice. You're covering your bases. You're like, preemptively, you know, already prepping.

02:54:36.020 --> 02:54:38.660
Don't cast the curses for me today, Kermit.

02:54:38.660 --> 02:54:39.980
All right, Frank.

02:54:39.980 --> 02:54:43.140
And I feel like this is such a necessary first game, too,

02:54:43.140 --> 02:54:45.620
with how the upper bracket finals went,

02:54:45.620 --> 02:54:48.660
and how handily BOG were able to take it,

02:54:48.660 --> 02:54:51.860
and how good they looked in their first game versus them.

02:54:51.860 --> 02:54:55.820
So really nice resurgence here, and strong look in game number

02:54:55.820 --> 02:54:57.100
one for HLE.

02:54:57.100 --> 02:54:58.700
And I'll be going for the endless hunger,

02:54:58.700 --> 02:55:00.340
trying to snowball a little bit here,

02:55:00.340 --> 02:55:01.820
so he's not going to go, gee.

02:55:01.820 --> 02:55:02.500
Oh, he's hungry.

02:55:02.500 --> 02:55:03.300
Oh my god.

02:55:03.300 --> 02:55:05.060
He is looking to just kill everybody.

02:55:05.060 --> 02:55:06.780
He already went first item Eclipse,

02:55:06.780 --> 02:55:08.740
which is not necessarily the most normal.

02:55:08.740 --> 02:55:10.180
This is kind of crazy.

02:55:10.180 --> 02:55:12.300
Tempest fate connects onto two

02:55:12.300 --> 02:55:14.220
as the gravity well goes down at the same time.

02:55:14.220 --> 02:55:16.260
Kenavi not taking too much damage just yet

02:55:16.260 --> 02:55:18.100
and now Zess has made his way in

02:55:18.100 --> 02:55:21.540
that big shield from the teleport on him now

02:55:21.540 --> 02:55:23.460
it's one second until that dragon does come up

02:55:23.460 --> 02:55:26.020
and Kenavi is already there

02:55:26.020 --> 02:55:27.940
and he's looking to try and take that one down

02:55:27.940 --> 02:55:30.060
while everybody else is fighting over the mid lane.

02:55:30.060 --> 02:55:31.580
We do have been making his way in

02:55:31.580 --> 02:55:35.020
looking for an angle towards that dragon pit

02:55:35.020 --> 02:55:36.420
and BLG should be able to get over here

02:55:36.420 --> 02:55:39.060
But there is the Q landing, Kenobi obviously is going in.

02:55:39.060 --> 02:55:41.700
Asaius holds the dragon aggro.

02:55:41.700 --> 02:55:43.940
And as we can see, that dragon's so incredibly low.

02:55:43.940 --> 02:55:45.460
He's stolen by Shun!

02:55:45.460 --> 02:55:48.540
He just bounces in immediately to try and take it down

02:55:48.540 --> 02:55:50.100
and then gets the cooldown.

02:55:50.100 --> 02:55:51.820
Back and he's over once more.

02:55:51.820 --> 02:55:54.700
Oh, Shun, that is insane, brother.

02:55:54.700 --> 02:55:57.020
The steal, it's perfect because the observers

02:55:57.020 --> 02:55:58.140
had the vision toggled.

02:55:58.140 --> 02:55:59.900
You could tell, he didn't have vision until like,

02:55:59.900 --> 02:56:01.300
it was like 1700 health and he was like,

02:56:01.300 --> 02:56:03.860
oh, I have to jump in now and just full send.

02:56:03.860 --> 02:56:05.860
I think I saw it down to 1390.

02:56:05.860 --> 02:56:07.300
He just hops over and instantly takes it.

02:56:07.300 --> 02:56:08.500
That's a pretty good smite.

02:56:08.500 --> 02:56:09.180
So let's see this.

02:56:09.180 --> 02:56:10.460
I think it was 1390.

02:56:10.460 --> 02:56:12.460
Yeah, 1390 goes over.

02:56:12.460 --> 02:56:13.460
Perfect smite.

02:56:13.460 --> 02:56:14.740
Instantly there from Shun.

02:56:14.740 --> 02:56:16.340
HLE could have played a little bit slower,

02:56:16.340 --> 02:56:18.300
tried to keep it higher health, see if they could beat him

02:56:18.300 --> 02:56:19.660
and then push him back out.

02:56:19.660 --> 02:56:21.140
Instead, HLE just made the call.

02:56:21.140 --> 02:56:22.380
We're just going to burn it down.

02:56:22.380 --> 02:56:23.900
We'll finish it before he gets here.

02:56:23.900 --> 02:56:25.940
They are not successful in that.

02:56:25.940 --> 02:56:27.420
Bybert took the last one.

02:56:27.420 --> 02:56:28.660
Shun takes this one.

02:56:28.660 --> 02:56:29.540
Back to back.

02:56:29.540 --> 02:56:31.860
Sol denials by BLG.

02:56:31.860 --> 02:56:33.060
Keep their hopes alive.

02:56:33.060 --> 02:56:38.620
Okay, not to be that guy, but if you're looking back and you're like the damage lost by Konami taking the Q

02:56:38.820 --> 02:56:43.540
outside the pit onto bin when they're coming over to that guy, but I'm about to be that guy.

02:56:44.460 --> 02:56:51.080
Did that damage lost mean the timing that should be to get in there because it was so close at the end regardless though?

02:56:51.500 --> 02:56:56.520
It makes the game so much more exciting that they don't have the Dragon Soul yet and BLG

02:56:56.660 --> 02:57:00.700
They keep them in this. I mean, Chun keeps them in this with that smite.

02:57:00.700 --> 02:57:07.360
Well, the Baron up and available, maybe something that HLE could look for for their next sort

02:57:07.360 --> 02:57:10.840
of objective to go for, but it looks like they're not all that interested.

02:57:10.840 --> 02:57:14.340
Maybe they're on your side of the fence there as they are saying that it's not exactly all

02:57:14.340 --> 02:57:19.340
that important to pick up the Baron and maybe starting it and tempting them to go for a

02:57:19.340 --> 02:57:21.780
contest is what HLE have on the mind.

02:57:21.780 --> 02:57:22.780
Yeah, they're going to look for the turn.

02:57:22.780 --> 02:57:24.860
I mean, just committing to Baron is so dangerous.

02:57:24.860 --> 02:57:26.920
The risk versus ward can be quite difficult.

02:57:26.920 --> 02:57:28.420
They will be spotted in Guma.

02:57:28.420 --> 02:57:30.460
Took a pretty good chunk from that ult.

02:57:30.460 --> 02:57:32.080
Yeah, hit three people, actually.

02:57:32.080 --> 02:57:34.120
High value on the true shot barrage,

02:57:34.120 --> 02:57:36.160
as BLG are in position.

02:57:36.160 --> 02:57:38.120
Ace in the hole just going to be thrown over to Viper

02:57:38.120 --> 02:57:41.120
as he makes his way in as Guma finding these headshots and on.

02:57:41.120 --> 02:57:43.240
He really cannot be tanking those.

02:57:43.240 --> 02:57:44.800
HLE have backed away now, though,

02:57:44.800 --> 02:57:46.120
and BLG going to do the same thing

02:57:46.120 --> 02:57:48.880
as they slink into the fog of war on their side of the map.

02:57:48.880 --> 02:57:50.520
And the thing is, Kanabi has so much to stay,

02:57:50.520 --> 02:57:52.200
and they can just do that, and then they get the inside route

02:57:52.200 --> 02:57:52.360
here.

02:57:52.360 --> 02:57:54.200
It's a really good rotation from HLE.

02:57:54.200 --> 02:57:57.040
They draw you out of your base, so now your inhibitor

02:57:57.040 --> 02:57:57.920
is defenseless.

02:57:57.920 --> 02:58:00.440
They just pull off the Baron, and then go take it.

02:58:00.440 --> 02:58:07.260
Really nicely done from them because they know that be able to you're gonna have to take the safe route over to approach that Baron from the top

02:58:07.260 --> 02:58:12.760
Side and then it is run straight through mid really intelligent call. Yeah, really just nice macro plays right?

02:58:12.760 --> 02:58:14.800
They're not gonna commit to the Baron they're not doing anything crazy

02:58:14.800 --> 02:58:20.760
There's no opportunity in turn, but they get the edge on mid lane the earlier pushing from Guma paying off there and

02:58:21.560 --> 02:58:27.200
Viper going for the serpents fang tech here against the karma. There's obviously safeguard shields. There's Orianna shields

02:58:27.200 --> 02:58:33.400
there's shields as well to break out and step from impasse so is going to get some value on this but it's interesting that the Ezreal

02:58:33.400 --> 02:58:37.680
Does it instead of shown you know because you do get less from a rain champion on the shield reduction

02:58:37.680 --> 02:58:43.600
Yeah, and then you look over at the mobile turret that is Guma with the four item Caitlyn here

02:58:43.680 --> 02:58:49.120
Those ahead shots are certainly going to leave a mark. Yeah, he is definitely not

02:58:49.720 --> 02:58:53.960
Leaving anything out when it comes to damage. It's just building as much of it as he possibly can

02:58:53.960 --> 02:58:59.420
might be stopping by for like a guardian angel for his next one or maybe he just

02:58:59.420 --> 02:59:03.240
goes BT or something like that and just tries to keep up the pace. Is it Kanavi

02:59:03.240 --> 02:59:06.280
once again looking to try and be frustrating here in the enemy jungle

02:59:06.280 --> 02:59:11.120
denying yet another blue buff could become an enemy decides against it? I will

02:59:11.120 --> 02:59:16.180
say as good of a position as HLE are in if they cannot get soul it's not a

02:59:16.180 --> 02:59:19.760
dominating position. Kanavi does have this big lead but he is not on a

02:59:19.760 --> 02:59:23.080
guardian angel if he makes a misstep if he gets caught and he could get burst

02:59:23.080 --> 02:59:27.480
down right you know this is not that more standard defensive build that he is

02:59:27.480 --> 02:59:31.080
playing and you look over at Viper he's on four items to you look at night

02:59:31.080 --> 02:59:37.320
he's relatively strong here three items on the victor yeah I mean we'll see

02:59:37.320 --> 02:59:43.000
because Kenobi is also level 17 and so you get a lot of health from base stats

02:59:43.000 --> 02:59:49.180
to especially the later levels have more packed so level 17 Lee sin here is the

02:59:49.180 --> 02:59:54.500
same level as both solo laners on his team and the extra shield you know with

02:59:54.500 --> 02:59:58.460
the hex drinker. I mean he's strong don't get me wrong I'm just saying I'd be a

02:59:58.460 --> 03:00:03.540
lot more scared if Zayas had that goal. Lee Sin with that goal very powerful

03:00:03.540 --> 03:00:07.580
but Lee Sin is not the same kind of scaling champion that some of these

03:00:07.580 --> 03:00:11.380
other ones on the map are so you know if there was a place you'd want that goal

03:00:11.380 --> 03:00:16.260
to be in your BLG well it's probably there. Well HLA now just gonna push out

03:00:16.260 --> 03:00:22.180
mid lane, they've got Supers moving their way down and at this point you've got Zayas in the top lane trying to get that wave

03:00:22.260 --> 03:00:27.260
pushed in at the same time and HLE just trying to get them away from this Baron pit once again.

03:00:27.260 --> 03:00:32.260
But with this game slowing down, like you guys are talking about, it's giving time for Knight to get more and more damage

03:00:32.260 --> 03:00:37.260
and HLE are thinking they're gonna have to try and find an angle for a battle here. Eight seconds on the dragon,

03:00:37.260 --> 03:00:42.260
there's a teleport in from Zayas looking for an angle towards Knight as Kanabi doesn't get the Q.

03:00:42.260 --> 03:00:45.380
That's a blast car, though, as public execution is not going to land this time.

03:00:45.380 --> 03:00:48.380
Knight takes the ace in the hole, though, and there's a cue from Kenabe!

03:00:48.380 --> 03:00:53.500
Knight going to get pushed away, but the stun comes in from the gravity well, and Knight will survive.

03:00:53.500 --> 03:00:57.620
DLG now just trying to rush down this dragon, and it is going to be secured.

03:00:57.620 --> 03:01:04.380
Both teams now with three dragons, as HLE just didn't quite have a plan for taking the buff.

03:01:04.380 --> 03:01:06.620
It's a complete heist, Atlas!

03:01:06.620 --> 03:01:11.580
I mean, Knight barely lives, this finally doesn't hit an Ambassador ultimate,

03:01:11.580 --> 03:01:14.380
And BLG, they stop another soul.

03:01:14.380 --> 03:01:16.420
I mean, Knight played that very well to get out.

03:01:16.420 --> 03:01:19.020
And also, Chris on had to run over to the wall

03:01:19.020 --> 03:01:20.740
to get in range for that heal.

03:01:20.740 --> 03:01:24.820
Otherwise, he is dead against the heal, barely is in range.

03:01:24.820 --> 03:01:25.860
Zayas trying to force here.

03:01:25.860 --> 03:01:26.660
Yeah, they're going in.

03:01:26.660 --> 03:01:29.100
On takes a magical journey to get himself out.

03:01:29.100 --> 03:01:33.620
As my goodness, that was an orbital strike landing

03:01:33.620 --> 03:01:35.180
onto Shun there in the jungle.

03:01:35.180 --> 03:01:36.620
But he does survive for the moment

03:01:36.620 --> 03:01:37.660
and is looking to go back.

03:01:37.660 --> 03:01:41.100
But this might be HLE's chance to grab themselves a Baron.

03:01:41.100 --> 03:01:42.100
What do you do about this?

03:01:42.100 --> 03:01:43.900
Caitlyn, it does so much damage.

03:01:43.900 --> 03:01:46.900
Guma now on the Baron currently and been looking,

03:01:46.900 --> 03:01:47.900
but they can't get in.

03:01:47.900 --> 03:01:49.600
Is that the Zoting them here?

03:01:49.600 --> 03:01:51.100
The Orianna doing so much.

03:01:51.100 --> 03:01:52.600
She didn't even need to use the Shockwave

03:01:52.600 --> 03:01:54.100
in order to do all of that damage

03:01:54.100 --> 03:01:56.400
with the command attack dissonance combo.

03:01:56.400 --> 03:01:59.300
So the Baron will be taken here by HLA.

03:01:59.300 --> 03:02:01.900
Finally, actually getting themselves an objective here

03:02:01.900 --> 03:02:02.500
on this map.

03:02:02.500 --> 03:02:04.300
I feel like it's been about 15 minutes

03:02:04.300 --> 03:02:06.100
since we've seen them really take anything

03:02:06.100 --> 03:02:07.300
outside of that inhibitor.

03:02:07.300 --> 03:02:09.500
And we'll have to see how much they can get done with it.

03:02:09.500 --> 03:02:13.700
obviously great sieging power here with the Orianna zoning with the ball with

03:02:13.700 --> 03:02:17.300
Caitlin pushing forward but there's also powerful wave clear on the other side

03:02:17.300 --> 03:02:20.900
with Knight so you know Ben is going mid trying to push this out before they

03:02:20.900 --> 03:02:24.780
bare and buff up those super minions and Viper kind of just threatening with

03:02:24.780 --> 03:02:28.580
poke on the side while Knight is just trying to thin that wave as best as he

03:02:28.580 --> 03:02:31.420
can. Yeah Ben doing what he can in the mid lane as well dealing with those

03:02:31.420 --> 03:02:34.420
super minions that are making their way down. Gumi gets a shield from Delight.

03:02:34.420 --> 03:02:39.060
Teleport for the shield? Yeah Ben looking to make his way level 19 on the

03:02:39.060 --> 03:02:43.860
Crocodiles here, it's gonna be in so much trouble, the ulti comes down, he flashes, but it shun the locks it up!

03:02:43.860 --> 03:02:48.420
And now the tempered fate going to be avoided here for the Ness now on cooldown, Gumiishi in so much trouble,

03:02:48.420 --> 03:02:51.540
Bin gets on top of him, Sekiro's taken out as well!

03:02:51.540 --> 03:02:56.180
As they do kill on, but they don't really care about it, now Gumiishi, he's gonna have to be the one to make this one work,

03:02:56.180 --> 03:02:59.540
gets the flash taken out, and he's taken down!

03:02:59.540 --> 03:03:06.340
Delight is now trying to keep them at bay, but he is just a support with only a hope and a prayer, and a least PLG.

03:03:06.340 --> 03:03:09.600
Can't get a Baron or a Dragon because they're not on the map anymore.

03:03:09.600 --> 03:03:14.260
We've had our Zayas highlights so far this game, and it's time for some bin highlights.

03:03:14.260 --> 03:03:19.620
He teleports a short distance, but for the shield and for the boost, and he gets the flank off.

03:03:19.620 --> 03:03:28.260
They burst down Zayas, they make the flank, they make the collapse just when then they need it to crush the Siege of HLE.

03:03:28.260 --> 03:03:33.720
And it was such a good team play, because it was set up earlier by Viper, getting poke on Zayas who was on that side.

03:03:33.720 --> 03:03:36.020
Viper was playing the angle so intelligently.

03:03:36.020 --> 03:03:37.940
Not just playing from the base, playing on the side,

03:03:37.940 --> 03:03:41.240
landing Q after Q, getting poked down time and time again,

03:03:41.240 --> 03:03:43.520
softening up some of these members,

03:03:43.520 --> 03:03:47.080
and then it's Viper flashing away from Kanavi as he goes in.

03:03:47.080 --> 03:03:50.720
Zeca Shockwave only connected onto the barred as well,

03:03:50.720 --> 03:03:52.520
and here is that TP you're talking about, Kobe.

03:03:52.520 --> 03:03:56.840
Here he comes. He's boosted up, coming in, Renekton,

03:03:56.840 --> 03:03:58.440
finds Zayas, and there's the combo.

03:03:58.440 --> 03:03:59.680
You're talking about so much damage.

03:03:59.680 --> 03:04:02.840
They instantly delete him. Viper and Shun follow him,

03:04:02.840 --> 03:04:04.280
and then finishes behind you.

03:04:04.280 --> 03:04:06.280
the giant crocodile flashes on your carries.

03:04:06.280 --> 03:04:07.400
He goes for Guma first.

03:04:07.400 --> 03:04:09.520
I was like, what are they going to do about this Caitlyn?

03:04:09.520 --> 03:04:11.280
He creates so much space, and then Ben,

03:04:11.280 --> 03:04:12.600
the follow here as well.

03:04:12.600 --> 03:04:14.000
He's got the minions to work with.

03:04:14.000 --> 03:04:17.280
Slice, dice, finds another stun onto him.

03:04:17.280 --> 03:04:22.040
Just engage after engage after engage from the crocodile,

03:04:22.040 --> 03:04:23.960
and he's able to pull it off and set up the team

03:04:23.960 --> 03:04:24.920
to take all these kills.

03:04:24.920 --> 03:04:27.440
It's just so well played there from Ben,

03:04:27.440 --> 03:04:32.080
and now Ben has a GA, and that is a big problem.

03:04:32.080 --> 03:04:36.920
This guy is going to be tough to deal with. He's level 20 at this point in the game and

03:04:37.520 --> 03:04:40.200
that gold lead for Kanabi feeling like it means less and less.

03:04:40.200 --> 03:04:44.640
I mean, Vin has been the lone gold lead on his team for the majority of this game.

03:04:44.640 --> 03:04:45.120
Yeah.

03:04:45.120 --> 03:04:49.240
And we'll see if BLG can utilize it for the next dragon so far.

03:04:49.240 --> 03:04:52.040
If BLG end up getting dragon slow in this game, it's actually going to be crazy.

03:04:52.400 --> 03:04:56.240
Denied so many here from HLE and you'd be thinking about all of them.

03:04:56.240 --> 03:05:00.720
The smite that came through, the steal, the sneak that BLG were able to have.

03:05:00.720 --> 03:05:09.200
If they can complete this comeback to Atlas's earlier attempt at anti-Caster cursing, it would be nice, everybody.

03:05:09.200 --> 03:05:12.480
Yeah, maybe it was a prediction. I'm getting a little bit worried now.

03:05:12.480 --> 03:05:14.560
It was the reverse anti-Caster curse.

03:05:14.560 --> 03:05:15.840
Oh, no!

03:05:15.840 --> 03:05:21.520
And it would also be Infernal Soul if you take it, but four Infernal Dragon, Infernal Soul,

03:05:21.520 --> 03:05:29.120
which is so much additional damage coming out from a team that is already really difficult to deal with here.

03:05:29.120 --> 03:05:32.160
And now the pressure feels like it is on HLE.

03:05:32.160 --> 03:05:34.920
This dragon needs soul for either side, but...

03:05:35.320 --> 03:05:40.360
Oh, the shockwave doesn't actually connect, but there's a kickflash into the public execution!

03:05:40.360 --> 03:05:43.000
Viper should be taken out, it takes a little bit of time!

03:05:43.000 --> 03:05:45.480
Kanavi's traded, but he's just holding them in position!

03:05:45.480 --> 03:05:46.840
His knife flashes over the wall.

03:05:46.840 --> 03:05:49.920
Bin just wasn't there, he finally shows up!

03:05:49.920 --> 03:05:51.640
But, uh, the party's over!

03:05:51.640 --> 03:05:54.480
Yeah, he wasn't there because Kanavi started the party.

03:05:54.480 --> 03:05:56.480
He hosted the party in mid-lane.

03:05:56.480 --> 03:05:59.880
He saw Viper, he went before BLG can react.

03:05:59.880 --> 03:06:01.880
HLE, they take the fight to them.

03:06:01.880 --> 03:06:03.880
But the question is, can they even get the dragon?

03:06:03.880 --> 03:06:06.880
Because they have no jungler, Shun is still alive here,

03:06:06.880 --> 03:06:08.380
and they're gonna try to fight this.

03:06:08.380 --> 03:06:11.880
A little bit early into the pit here, Shun is not alive anymore.

03:06:11.880 --> 03:06:13.680
Bin is now gonna get himself in there,

03:06:13.680 --> 03:06:16.480
Slyce it and Dyson Demir should try to get these owners down,

03:06:16.480 --> 03:06:18.980
and there's the GA proc'd from their Nectin.

03:06:18.980 --> 03:06:21.380
Zayas and Zekka still with a lot of damage available,

03:06:21.380 --> 03:06:23.780
and Bin, not with a whole lot when he makes his way back,

03:06:23.780 --> 03:06:24.680
gets this gun,

03:06:24.680 --> 03:06:32.060
He then gets taken down by this Orianna, and Knight just gonna have to get out of there as HLE will finally get a soul!

03:06:32.060 --> 03:06:39.180
That trap from Gumo is game-changing. He had traps along the edge of the wall predicting where Shun would go over.

03:06:39.180 --> 03:06:49.780
And it looked to me like Shun just hopped straight into one of those traps, lost all his health, could not do anything in that moment, and finally, as you say, they claim the Infernal Soul.

03:06:49.780 --> 03:06:53.860
Ho ho ho ho! They're making them work for it though.

03:06:53.860 --> 03:06:57.940
HLE, they finally claim it, the last dragon they do pick up.

03:06:57.940 --> 03:06:59.900
Here's another look at Konami starting it though.

03:06:59.900 --> 03:07:01.820
He sees Viper, he hits the Q and he's like,

03:07:01.820 --> 03:07:04.220
we are full sending, they're going with the shock wave here.

03:07:04.220 --> 03:07:05.740
Viper is going to be able to get away from it,

03:07:05.740 --> 03:07:09.300
but Konami just follows, uses the ward hop into kickflash

03:07:09.300 --> 03:07:13.380
in Tuseius, and even with the attempted denial on the Bard ult,

03:07:13.380 --> 03:07:15.180
they just kill him as soon as they get out.

03:07:15.180 --> 03:07:17.540
But buying that little bit of time was pretty critical

03:07:17.540 --> 03:07:18.940
because allowed them to kill the jungle back,

03:07:18.940 --> 03:07:22.380
allowed them to get into a spot where you thought maybe they could actually contest this.

03:07:22.380 --> 03:07:25.720
They had that jungle advantage, even though they worked down a man,

03:07:25.720 --> 03:07:31.720
but HLE played it well, played it smart, killed Offshun, and took that dragon.

03:07:31.720 --> 03:07:34.080
That's why these games are so fun to watch.

03:07:34.080 --> 03:07:37.620
Both these teams, with that killer instinct, though, just full send it.

03:07:37.620 --> 03:07:41.320
They see the opportunity, they strike, and it is game changing.

03:07:41.320 --> 03:07:43.620
Dragon's soul now for HLE.

03:07:43.620 --> 03:07:47.280
And guess what? Guma's almost full seven items here.

03:07:47.280 --> 03:07:51.280
They're seeing to upgrade one more, assuming it's the GA,

03:07:51.280 --> 03:07:58.360
Instead of the best dance and look at them pick up the QSS. So really worried about that potential tether about the traps

03:07:58.360 --> 03:08:04.080
There's not that much cc, but delight in kuma have been making his life very very difficult

03:08:04.760 --> 03:08:09.240
Always delight is in position lands the tether he gets trapped he loses all his health in that combo

03:08:09.240 --> 03:08:14.240
So it's decided to go for that QSS and we'll see if it makes a difference in these upcoming fights

03:08:14.240 --> 03:08:19.520
Yeah, it feels like a lot just for traps basically just for the traps other things adjust holds

03:08:19.520 --> 03:08:25.060
Yeah, exactly. The tether to come through as well from the karma. So bin knows his job. He needs to kill the bottom lane

03:08:25.060 --> 03:08:29.580
What tools does the bottom lane have? They've got a trap and a tether and I need to deal with it

03:08:29.580 --> 03:08:33.180
He's at least able to do that problem is things are getting more and more difficult

03:08:33.180 --> 03:08:39.800
The GA has just come in that is full build. Gumiishi at least the BLG fans. He is not gonna get stronger than this

03:08:40.420 --> 03:08:45.860
However, he is exceptionally strong. Yeah, the problem is he probably don't need to be stronger than this

03:08:45.860 --> 03:08:50.860
Alright, well Barron back up and available once again.

03:08:50.860 --> 03:08:54.860
It's Kanavi and Shun just playing with one another Knight trying to find these get-raises.

03:08:54.860 --> 03:08:56.860
Of course Kanavi goes in but out again once more.

03:08:56.860 --> 03:08:58.860
Oh my god!

03:08:58.860 --> 03:09:00.860
On basically takes his whole health bar and damage.

03:09:00.860 --> 03:09:03.860
There's HLE just fishing to angles.

03:09:03.860 --> 03:09:06.860
And yeah, they're looking to take another inhibitor.

03:09:06.860 --> 03:09:09.860
Remember there is only a naked inhibitor in the mid lane.

03:09:09.860 --> 03:09:13.860
They could take all three while HLE also takes the Baron.

03:09:13.860 --> 03:09:17.540
BLG are sending three for Zayas, they're gonna lose the Baron, they have to get this kill.

03:09:17.540 --> 03:09:21.460
Well, can they actually do it as the public execution gets Zayas in there?

03:09:21.460 --> 03:09:28.420
He is likely to fall down, but they take the Baron as a response, and now BLG need to buy as much time as they can.

03:09:28.420 --> 03:09:33.860
The inhibitors are exposed and HLE want to come abuse that fact.

03:09:33.860 --> 03:09:39.780
BLG with the extra person here, they're trying to bend Bin coming over. As he said, his job last time,

03:09:39.780 --> 03:09:48.080
All he had to do was flank, kill multiple people, and burn Goomba's summoner spells, and then flash on him and kill him as well.

03:09:48.080 --> 03:09:53.380
I wonder if BLG are going to try to wait for the GA on Bin. Will they decide to send it without it?

03:09:53.380 --> 03:10:00.280
HLE are just forcing the issue. They are taking all of these inhibitors. They're not allowing them that luxury of waiting for the GA.

03:10:00.280 --> 03:10:02.380
Zeus is going to have his tough war when he revives.

03:10:02.380 --> 03:10:06.980
Every auto attack for Grimaishi is hurting so much, has now been on that flank angle once again.

03:10:06.980 --> 03:10:14.380
And Gruma playing so far up, as Bing gets in there, Gruma gets a huge shield, the Flash is flashed, by Gruma, and he now shoots in trouble!

03:10:14.380 --> 03:10:17.380
And maybe that man advantage doesn't need too much at all!

03:10:17.380 --> 03:10:22.980
As Gruma is just finding headshot after headshot, and I am now getting involved, as I get him down to the GA, Kanavi still at full health,

03:10:22.980 --> 03:10:28.380
wants to take down this Ezreal, the net to get Gruma out, and he pops like a balloon!

03:10:28.380 --> 03:10:34.280
Kanavi trying to bounce around, if I need some other cooldown, as Viper tries to find the Q and doesn't like it there,

03:10:34.280 --> 03:10:41.160
Second puts him down and now Knight is running away from the battlefield because Zayas has teleported in!

03:10:41.160 --> 03:10:45.480
And he will not connect that public execution, but Knight is not there to defend the base.

03:10:45.480 --> 03:10:53.480
The Nexus is exposed and HLE will not let the past repeat itself. They take down BLG in Game 1.

03:10:53.480 --> 03:10:59.560
What a start to the MSI finals. That game was incredible, Desk. What do you got?

03:10:59.560 --> 03:11:02.680
I got an HLE 3-1 on the books right here.

03:11:02.680 --> 03:11:12.120
What has started his final completely controlled early game from HLE and then things go completely off the rails with BLG going back in?

03:11:12.120 --> 03:11:13.120
What do we think?

03:11:13.120 --> 03:11:18.620
Kanabi! Is that God? What the hell did this mind just do?

03:11:18.620 --> 03:11:22.320
That Lee Sin just tore BLG apart!

03:11:22.320 --> 03:11:31.040
Not only did he run the early game, he then failed to secure three drinks in a row, but then he absolutely won the game with this pick.

03:11:31.040 --> 03:11:33.500
I mean, just such an incredible play to find this in the clutch moment.

03:11:33.500 --> 03:11:36.900
Remember that BLG managed to fight their way, scrap their way back into this game.

03:11:36.900 --> 03:11:38.800
But Fyper was such a key part of that.

03:11:38.800 --> 03:11:41.700
Even after a difficult early game, he was always just throwing down damage,

03:11:41.700 --> 03:11:43.700
gives his own life to make this play happen.

03:11:43.700 --> 03:11:46.600
And it feels like this play is the final moment

03:11:46.600 --> 03:11:51.300
where finally HLE seeded or took full control of this game.

03:11:51.300 --> 03:11:56.200
You said, Kenavi, look, this was the dominant early game we wanted to see from this player,

03:11:56.200 --> 03:11:57.900
but it goes all the way back into draft.

03:11:57.900 --> 03:12:02.140
the trust of him. You saw the Huber on the Nefiri, we're all like, uh-oh, we're not so sure about this one.

03:12:02.140 --> 03:12:06.860
The Lee Sin, a huge confidence pick, and he absolutely delivered.

03:12:06.860 --> 03:12:11.260
And you saw it in her HyperX Reflex replay, how strong he was on that Lee Sin.

03:12:11.260 --> 03:12:17.820
And look at the difference it made when this man isn't under pressure from showing an on what he's able to achieve.

03:12:17.820 --> 03:12:24.540
Gank after gank in the top lane, play after play to kill the back line of BLG.

03:12:24.540 --> 03:12:28.780
This man has just put nightmares into the LPL fan.

03:12:28.780 --> 03:12:32.300
He completely broke the gentleman agreement that was set on the top lane,

03:12:32.300 --> 03:12:37.100
one V1 here stepping in, helping Zayas as much as he can.

03:12:37.100 --> 03:12:40.060
But I do want to praise the improvements on the side of HLE

03:12:40.060 --> 03:12:43.740
because Zayas was talking about the fact that what didn't work out last time

03:12:43.740 --> 03:12:46.860
were the drafts, the fact that they couldn't read BLG.

03:12:46.860 --> 03:12:49.820
I love the way they stepped in here and adapted onto this one.

03:12:49.820 --> 03:12:52.860
And I thought the drafts were such an interesting mind game

03:12:52.860 --> 03:12:56.860
because we were trying to predict these picks coming through based off of the previous series

03:12:56.860 --> 03:13:00.200
and we're like, this is a Ziggs angle, or this is a Mel angle, and they kept going back

03:13:00.200 --> 03:13:05.580
so like the early Ezreal pick was potentially a denial from Guma trying to neutralize Mage

03:13:05.580 --> 03:13:12.060
bots, but no Mage bots, scaling mid lanes, meta top lane picks, it was a very two months

03:13:12.060 --> 03:13:13.060
ago draft.

03:13:13.060 --> 03:13:16.180
This to me felt very arrogant from BLG.

03:13:16.180 --> 03:13:19.580
This is not what they won within the last time these two teams faced up against each

03:13:19.580 --> 03:13:20.580
other.

03:13:20.580 --> 03:13:25.580
They didn't have the matchup that they wanted against the Orianna in the mid lane trying to go for this 1-3-1.

03:13:25.580 --> 03:13:30.580
I think they have to go back to that style of that work that you were just talking about with those mages in the bottom lane.

03:13:30.580 --> 03:13:36.580
I completely agree. I don't think they gave themselves enough agency. When you look at that mid lane pick for night, Victor Orianna, you're just trading waves back and forth.

03:13:36.580 --> 03:13:43.580
And bot lane again, we have to talk about the bot lane of Asia League. We thought that this might be where we see the big difference, but they do exactly what you need to do with Caitlyn Karma.

03:13:43.580 --> 03:13:45.180
It was textbook League of Legends.

03:13:45.180 --> 03:13:48.860
The Spice was Kanavi coming in, making those plays on the top side,

03:13:48.860 --> 03:13:51.500
but they get pushed, they get drinked, they move topside,

03:13:51.500 --> 03:13:55.660
they get heralded, they take every little early advantage away from BLT

03:13:55.660 --> 03:13:58.300
and stop any of these plays from ever happening.

03:13:58.300 --> 03:14:01.260
He aren't just wandering around the map doing nothing for 12 minutes!

03:14:01.260 --> 03:14:03.020
Guma Yushi was the egg in the ramen.

03:14:03.020 --> 03:14:04.940
He really wants for this one, you know?

03:14:05.500 --> 03:14:07.980
We wanted to see adaptation on the side of Hacheli

03:14:07.980 --> 03:14:11.420
and it's amazing to see the difference that a couple days can make here

03:14:11.420 --> 03:14:20.420
and that crowd cheering and roaring, but then here in Daejeon, HLE is at 1-0 against BLG in our MSI Grand Finals.

03:14:20.420 --> 03:14:22.420
Let's see what happens next.

03:14:41.420 --> 03:15:09.280
The TFT Open is coming back to Vegas. I just hope there's no conflicts.

03:15:09.280 --> 03:15:10.720
Why wouldn't there be?

03:15:10.720 --> 03:15:13.240
Bring the first-methe American Regional Championship to Vegas.

03:15:13.240 --> 03:15:14.440
So excited.

03:15:14.440 --> 03:15:15.280
Cool model.

03:15:15.280 --> 03:15:15.640
Thanks.

03:15:15.640 --> 03:15:16.680
It's extremely fragile.

03:15:35.680 --> 03:15:37.000
Where's my TFT open?

03:15:37.000 --> 03:15:39.500
and my first ever NA Regional Championship.

03:15:41.900 --> 03:15:45.600
They've combined into some sort of...

03:15:45.600 --> 03:15:47.340
Convergence Fest.

03:15:47.340 --> 03:15:50.540
Two games in one place at the same time.

03:15:50.540 --> 03:15:51.380
Can we do it?

03:15:51.380 --> 03:15:52.480
We have to.

03:15:52.480 --> 03:15:54.540
Convergence Fest, TFT Vegas Open

03:15:54.540 --> 03:15:56.980
and the Riftbound North America Regional Championship,

03:15:56.980 --> 03:15:59.620
December 11th through December 13th, 2026.

03:15:59.620 --> 03:16:01.620
then

03:16:01.620 --> 03:16:03.620
it's a

03:16:03.620 --> 03:16:05.620
time to

03:16:05.620 --> 03:16:07.620
publish

03:16:07.620 --> 03:16:09.620
a

03:16:09.620 --> 03:16:11.620
game

03:16:11.620 --> 03:16:13.620
of

03:16:13.620 --> 03:16:15.620
a

03:16:15.620 --> 03:16:17.620
game

03:16:17.620 --> 03:16:19.620
of a

03:16:19.620 --> 03:16:21.620
game

03:16:21.620 --> 03:16:23.620
of a game

03:16:23.620 --> 03:16:25.620
of a game

03:16:25.620 --> 03:16:27.620
of a game

03:16:27.620 --> 03:16:33.020
Cup, where players split from their clubs and compete for national pride.

03:16:33.020 --> 03:16:36.100
Will China test every limit imaginable?

03:16:36.100 --> 03:16:39.300
Will South Korea turn every game into a macro masterclass?

03:16:39.300 --> 03:16:43.340
Will EU and NA actually play in the correct lengths?

03:16:43.340 --> 03:16:46.340
The final event of the year is not to be missed.

03:16:46.340 --> 03:16:50.340
SportsNationSkup 2026. See you in Riyadh.

03:17:46.340 --> 03:17:58.060
In eSports, legendary moments demand speed, scale, and soul.

03:17:58.060 --> 03:18:00.620
Players and fans bring to heart.

03:18:00.620 --> 03:18:02.420
Technology brings it to life.

03:18:02.420 --> 03:18:06.140
Every frame, every stat, every decisive play.

03:18:06.140 --> 03:18:11.740
In partnership with League of Legends eSports, we're driving digital innovation that empowers

03:18:11.740 --> 03:18:15.660
the eSports ecosystem to keep expanding.

03:18:15.660 --> 03:18:19.660
The players can focus on the game and fans can focus on the moment.

03:18:45.660 --> 03:19:06.660
The infinite precision armrest is part of the largest you collect on stage standard initiative,

03:19:06.660 --> 03:19:10.660
aimed to bring your home or training settings to the tournament stage.

03:19:10.660 --> 03:19:15.660
I think other players will set up their playstyle more naturally, not just a little bit.

03:19:15.660 --> 03:19:19.660
The most comfortable play is when you play more naturally.

03:19:40.660 --> 03:19:44.660
Red Bull gives you wings.

03:20:10.660 --> 03:20:12.660
Let's go!

03:20:40.660 --> 03:21:05.060
on the 2nd half of the season, there are no throughout the season.

03:21:05.060 --> 03:21:10.060
Let's go to the very special N.F.I.

03:21:10.060 --> 03:21:11.060
Shall we go one by one?

03:21:11.060 --> 03:21:12.060
Are you ready?

03:21:12.060 --> 03:21:13.060
Yes, I am.

03:21:13.060 --> 03:21:14.060
Let's go.

03:21:14.060 --> 03:21:16.060
Are you ready, Orang?

03:21:16.060 --> 03:21:20.060
Let's cheer for Orang!

03:21:21.060 --> 03:21:24.060
Okay, give us a second.

03:21:24.060 --> 03:21:26.060
Lυ~~~

03:21:30.280 --> 03:21:32.440
a shadow

03:21:33.520 --> 03:21:35.600
Ah

03:21:39.900 --> 03:21:41.900
2

03:21:41.960 --> 03:21:43.960
You

03:21:43.960 --> 03:21:46.960
Congratulations!

03:21:46.960 --> 03:21:47.960
Great!

03:21:47.960 --> 03:21:50.960
Now, we'll wrap up the first set fan event.

03:21:50.960 --> 03:21:54.960
We'll come back with a more fun event for the second set.

03:21:54.960 --> 03:21:56.960
See you later!

03:22:43.960 --> 03:22:51.600
Now slips off into the Pog of War and there's the trap line.

03:22:51.600 --> 03:23:07.200
Ben gonna have to try and break it open, but he's taking so much damage, it's going to be Viper that takes it, he's taking everything so far this game as Ben goes in, looks for the angles, Zayas does the same thing, the Republic gets snitching and they take down Viper, their former AD carry now lying on the floor,

03:23:07.200 --> 03:23:10.280
Shun going on target hole, and they do get rid of Zayas.

03:23:10.280 --> 03:23:12.360
Now Kanavi gets the kickback on to Shun,

03:23:12.360 --> 03:23:14.040
and now he is in amongst it.

03:23:14.040 --> 03:23:17.200
And HLE wiped them off the roof.

03:23:17.200 --> 03:23:21.280
And HLE will not let the pass repeat itself.

03:23:21.280 --> 03:23:23.320
They take down BLG and get one.

03:23:23.320 --> 03:23:26.200
What a start to the MSI finals.

03:23:26.200 --> 03:23:28.120
That game was incredible.

03:23:30.120 --> 03:23:31.760
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen,

03:23:31.760 --> 03:23:34.960
to the MSI 2026 Grand Final,

03:23:34.960 --> 03:23:40.800
where we do have a different team up 1 and 0 this time around in this matchup between

03:23:40.800 --> 03:23:43.020
MLIP Sports and BLG.

03:23:43.020 --> 03:23:47.880
The BLG seeing whether they can pick themselves back up and bring this to Vyper.

03:23:47.880 --> 03:23:52.240
So Atlas, are you on the team of it's time for mages for Vyper?

03:23:52.240 --> 03:23:56.900
You know, was him getting hit with all the Ambassador ultimates, Zeyas is so good?

03:23:56.900 --> 03:23:59.640
Or Vyper, you need to be able to dodge those.

03:23:59.640 --> 03:24:03.000
I think if he was on a mage, he would get hit by them more.

03:24:03.000 --> 03:24:05.880
because he was on Ezreal, and you shouldn't get hit by them as much.

03:24:05.880 --> 03:24:10.520
I feel like Ezreal was really nice too, and I will say as much as if they are down a game,

03:24:10.520 --> 03:24:14.840
they were coming back pretty hard multiple times. That looked like it was going to be a stomp, right?

03:24:14.840 --> 03:24:19.400
Yeah, I mean, there were at one point three dragons on HLE and zero on the other teams.

03:24:19.400 --> 03:24:26.680
We got down to maximum elemental drakes as we get into pick and ban here for game number two.

03:24:26.680 --> 03:24:32.680
Last time, the games were much shorter though, much more one-sided and much more decisive,

03:24:32.680 --> 03:24:36.580
But I felt like when HLE were able to win, it did take that extra time.

03:24:36.580 --> 03:24:42.680
I feel like BLG's ability to ride a snowball is the difference between these two squads.

03:24:42.680 --> 03:24:47.480
And if they can get off to a good start once again, then this could be the difference maker.

03:24:47.480 --> 03:24:51.280
I do think that's why it's so important that HLE actually did get it across the finish line.

03:24:51.280 --> 03:24:53.580
One, that game was able to secure a soul.

03:24:53.580 --> 03:24:59.780
Because if you lose a game like that, when you are that far ahead, that is a tilter for sure.

03:24:59.780 --> 03:25:05.620
Now we are seeing early Vayne ban, Poppy ban, Jace ban, no Camille ban just yet.

03:25:05.620 --> 03:25:09.340
I always think, oh they want to pick Nara or something if they ban the Vayne.

03:25:09.340 --> 03:25:10.620
Yeah, because we have the-

03:25:10.620 --> 03:25:11.620
Nara tanks both.

03:25:11.620 --> 03:25:13.500
Yeah, Jace and Vayne both out.

03:25:13.500 --> 03:25:21.540
Yeah, the Jace feels like a pretty understandable ban, just into Zayas, but it's actually, yeah,

03:25:21.540 --> 03:25:25.620
HL8 the dude ban against Ginn this time around as HL8 will be on our blue side just out of

03:25:25.620 --> 03:25:29.180
this one off as Divide has been a bit of a obligatory ban.

03:25:29.180 --> 03:25:32.180
We did see it come through the last time these two teams met.

03:25:32.180 --> 03:25:34.860
And even though HLE didn't quite find the victory,

03:25:34.860 --> 03:25:37.060
the vibe was a problem.

03:25:37.060 --> 03:25:38.660
So Camille is still up and available.

03:25:38.660 --> 03:25:40.340
We'll see if they do want to ban it out.

03:25:40.340 --> 03:25:42.180
Has been getting banned quite a lot.

03:25:42.180 --> 03:25:44.900
It would open up for that possibility of the Camille

03:25:44.900 --> 03:25:48.820
bot lane if it does, in fact, not get banned here.

03:25:48.820 --> 03:25:50.300
They're taking a lot of time, HLE,

03:25:50.300 --> 03:25:52.220
trying to decide what they want to take out.

03:25:52.220 --> 03:25:55.180
They have the same read you did, Kobe, of the vain ban

03:25:55.180 --> 03:25:58.580
is indicating that they are going to be trying to go for an R.

03:25:58.580 --> 03:26:00.060
So instead they leave up Camille,

03:26:00.060 --> 03:26:01.860
they do take away that gnar.

03:26:01.860 --> 03:26:04.260
Have you guys been fans of the Cassiopeia

03:26:04.260 --> 03:26:07.820
and trying to combo it with other AOSP stuff

03:26:07.820 --> 03:26:11.580
like Jarvan, where you cataclysm and miasma in there?

03:26:11.580 --> 03:26:13.860
Or have you been worried about mid laners

03:26:13.860 --> 03:26:16.300
that don't have their own safety of dashes and stuff?

03:26:16.300 --> 03:26:17.500
I personally really like it,

03:26:17.500 --> 03:26:19.580
but I do think it's also based on

03:26:19.580 --> 03:26:21.220
how safe the other team is, right?

03:26:21.220 --> 03:26:23.140
If they have low mobility carries

03:26:23.140 --> 03:26:26.140
and you throw in a Jarvan and then miasma comes over the top,

03:26:26.140 --> 03:26:27.860
then this usually just lights out, right?

03:26:27.860 --> 03:26:34.380
So I think I don't love it just as like slamming it down, but I do really think it is quite powerful based on what your opponents have

03:26:34.380 --> 03:26:38.120
I love picking it away from Viper so he doesn't pull those shenanigans again

03:26:38.620 --> 03:26:44.700
And so maybe Zekker could consider it for that reason but picking it into a Jarvan doesn't feel fantastic

03:26:44.700 --> 03:26:48.460
I think the Camille's got to be the forefront of HLE's minds right now

03:26:48.460 --> 03:26:52.260
But what I was gonna say is that Viper brought out the Taliyah as the answer

03:26:52.260 --> 03:26:57.220
I've been loving the bot lanes that attack the Camille and not the Camille pairing, right?

03:26:57.220 --> 03:27:03.580
So if you do go Camille, you can go things like Taliyah and Leona that we have seen before and really just attack that Camille

03:27:03.580 --> 03:27:08.380
Anytime she hook shots unraveled earth you get send up by the Leona Leona much more tanky than the Camille

03:27:08.380 --> 03:27:11.100
And you can just kind of focus on making delights

03:27:11.580 --> 03:27:18.340
Life really really difficult and so that's kind of what I'm expecting again because Michael was fantastic on the Taliyah

03:27:18.340 --> 03:27:22.220
When he part of that last time and I just felt like delight never really got to play

03:27:22.980 --> 03:27:26.180
My favorite thing to do then you know if you're the Camille support

03:27:26.180 --> 03:27:31.640
We leave bottom lane, you know, if they pick the Leah and they put to Lee in bottom lane. All right, I'm out

03:27:31.640 --> 03:27:35.820
I'm gonna go play with Kenobi. So that's that's what I will expect

03:27:35.820 --> 03:27:38.220
You know depending on what Kenobi's champion is. I'm pretty sure we'll

03:27:38.860 --> 03:27:40.720
See it imminently here

03:27:40.720 --> 03:27:45.220
But if you get Kenobi good pairing with the Camille that is that is the way to take over games right now

03:27:45.220 --> 03:27:50.300
Is jungle support and that's that Casio Pia with Jarvan Cataclysm. I was talking about is a really good combo

03:27:50.300 --> 03:27:52.500
And it could be bought or me, right? That's the thing because

03:27:52.500 --> 03:27:57.360
This is another champion that is fantastic into the Camille.

03:27:57.360 --> 03:27:59.520
Shen support also very good into the Camille.

03:27:59.520 --> 03:28:03.060
I love these drafts that are attacking the Camille exactly.

03:28:03.060 --> 03:28:04.720
Taunt, and then also, yeah,

03:28:04.720 --> 03:28:06.800
my asthma comes down and you have the parry zone

03:28:06.800 --> 03:28:08.840
during hail of blades and also the empowered Q

03:28:08.840 --> 03:28:10.000
that comes out from Camille.

03:28:10.000 --> 03:28:12.400
Shen can answer so much of what you could do.

03:28:12.400 --> 03:28:14.480
And like you said, people's answer is then gonna be,

03:28:14.480 --> 03:28:15.560
all right, well, I'm just gonna roam.

03:28:15.560 --> 03:28:16.400
Well, guess what?

03:28:16.400 --> 03:28:17.240
Shen has stand united.

03:28:17.240 --> 03:28:19.280
Shen can match that pressure on the map.

03:28:19.280 --> 03:28:21.960
So I feel like when the tournament started,

03:28:21.960 --> 03:28:29.160
I was thinking Camille is insanely OB, but as the tournament has evolved and people have drafted better and better answers, I'm less on the side of Camille.

03:28:29.160 --> 03:28:34.960
There's also so much flexibility from BLG. So we're looking at this, the Castile Fission could just be a bottom lane.

03:28:34.960 --> 03:28:43.360
It could also be mid lane, top lane. There could be a jungle for Shun there as well, although the Jarvan support hasn't come out for a while.

03:28:43.360 --> 03:28:50.960
I just think that having that level of flexibility in draft really does make things so difficult for your opposition.

03:28:50.960 --> 03:29:00.960
making it difficult. And I was talking about parrys of jungle with a support. The Qiyana, I always like it into Jarvan, you have so much mobility and you have so much burst damage to play into it.

03:29:00.960 --> 03:29:14.960
Qiyana and Camille, that is a recipe for death. They will delete someone instantly, so we'll see. Yep, be very quick when they stand united to protect that person if they do find them, but adding the Camille onto the realms early with the Qiyana,

03:29:14.960 --> 03:29:19.280
I do like the game plan again from HLE and so I have to look at you know

03:29:19.280 --> 03:29:22.280
What are they going to be able to get for their mid lane?

03:29:22.280 --> 03:29:28.320
They are currently respecting the super flexibility of mages that does exist as well

03:29:28.640 --> 03:29:33.960
For Viper and tonight and so also banning the Syndra again this time around last time

03:29:33.960 --> 03:29:36.960
It was been in the first three, but they're gonna still gonna answer it here

03:29:36.960 --> 03:29:42.280
And the other thing is you know if they are gonna go pass the old bot then BLG needs to get AD somewhere, right?

03:29:42.280 --> 03:29:48.280
And Jason's band, Nara's band, Renekton was played, and Bessa was played, Bane is banned.

03:29:48.280 --> 03:29:55.280
A lot of the meta AD tops are already out. There are always angles to go like Yone and things along those lines.

03:29:55.280 --> 03:30:01.280
You can get AD elsewhere, but it is getting a lot harder as we go further into the draft to find AD pairings elsewhere.

03:30:01.280 --> 03:30:04.280
Yeah, that Tristana is an option, I guess.

03:30:04.280 --> 03:30:16.280
Yeah, they feel like that Cassiopeia should be going towards the bottom side of the map is one more down here from Danny as the mid lane is getting very thin.

03:30:16.280 --> 03:30:26.280
That being said, you know, if you're going to spend all these mid lane bands for HLE, Knight could just play the Cassio mid and that's not really a problem and you could just play an AD carry.

03:30:26.280 --> 03:30:36.740
But, of course, you know, that Cassio-Chen combo really built to make the Camille's life very difficult, so it could be a little bit tougher in that one game on the left side, but clearly,

03:30:36.740 --> 03:30:39.480
I would say that he could be a third for HLE.

03:30:39.480 --> 03:30:48.620
If the Ari gets locked in, you have Ari Camille, you have the Qiyana, you have so much mobility, and you have that follow-up from the Ziggs throwing that mega inferno bomb into the backline.

03:30:48.620 --> 03:30:51.860
Guma was devastating on this pick against Lyon yesterday,

03:30:51.860 --> 03:30:54.340
was just killing it, got very far ahead,

03:30:54.340 --> 03:30:57.340
and his ult were doing 50, 60, 70% of people's health.

03:30:57.340 --> 03:30:59.460
Yeah, the HLE plan here, again,

03:30:59.460 --> 03:31:01.460
lots of playmaking to Procressor,

03:31:01.460 --> 03:31:03.460
unbobobility champions,

03:31:03.460 --> 03:31:08.060
so the Cassiopeia may be under attack fairly early on.

03:31:08.060 --> 03:31:10.500
Definitely expect the early support roams there,

03:31:10.500 --> 03:31:12.580
level three from bottom lane.

03:31:12.580 --> 03:31:15.500
Jarvan with Rumble, the classic combination there,

03:31:15.500 --> 03:31:18.500
and so they're just gonna pick that up for Big.

03:31:18.500 --> 03:31:23.180
Well, that'd be an interesting one, as they are considering some AD carry options for Viper.

03:31:23.180 --> 03:31:25.740
Try and get some of that AD damage like you were talking about.

03:31:25.740 --> 03:31:27.820
As soon as the Rumble was hovered, it's gone.

03:31:27.820 --> 03:31:30.500
Yeah, it's got to be something to do some AD.

03:31:30.500 --> 03:31:31.860
There's your Tristana, Atlas.

03:31:31.860 --> 03:31:33.020
Yeah, well, there's that one.

03:31:33.020 --> 03:31:34.820
That means that things could get weird,

03:31:34.820 --> 03:31:37.380
but I don't know whether we're playing Rumble Shen in the bottom lane.

03:31:37.380 --> 03:31:38.260
That would be strange.

03:31:38.260 --> 03:31:41.860
So there is a Lucian to be locked in, so Lucian Shen down there on the bottom side.

03:31:41.860 --> 03:31:44.300
Yeah, I think they were kind of forced into it by the fact

03:31:44.300 --> 03:31:47.180
that there were some of these AD top laners that are already banned out.

03:31:47.180 --> 03:31:50.180
I don't really have as many good options up there for Bin.

03:31:50.180 --> 03:31:53.420
So it is going to be Luci Chen and Eric as the answer.

03:31:53.420 --> 03:31:57.780
Fantastic into that rumble allows you to play towards sidelines

03:31:57.780 --> 03:32:01.940
where you have great ability to roam as the light, as Zeka

03:32:01.940 --> 03:32:03.460
and Kanabi to move around the map

03:32:03.460 --> 03:32:04.900
and try to play through those sides

03:32:04.900 --> 03:32:08.660
because there's not necessarily a great 1v1 answer

03:32:08.660 --> 03:32:11.020
to the York split push if he gets accelerated.

03:32:11.020 --> 03:32:14.060
And speaking of accelerated, I think if this game is going

03:32:14.060 --> 03:32:16.380
to move in HLE's direction, I'm going

03:32:16.380 --> 03:32:21.120
request that team fights are actually slowed down to half speed because I

03:32:21.120 --> 03:32:23.980
have a feeling they're gonna be over extraordinarily quickly there is so much

03:32:23.980 --> 03:32:27.600
burst damage out of this squad and if they don't manage to kill a reposition

03:32:27.600 --> 03:32:31.860
they basically die immediately which could be a little bit of a frightening

03:32:31.860 --> 03:32:36.540
prospect here bit of an all-or-nothing draft coming out to HLE and honestly I

03:32:36.540 --> 03:32:41.060
really am gonna have such a huge magic magnifying glass on these supports I

03:32:41.060 --> 03:32:44.580
feel like this game is gonna be similar to the first game of the series that we

03:32:44.580 --> 03:32:50.260
saw in the upper bracket finals, whichever support does have the bigger effect early

03:32:50.260 --> 03:32:55.220
on on the map is just going to fully accelerate their team and boost them to success.

03:32:55.220 --> 03:32:59.260
It's going to be interesting, you know, and it's also one of these things where HLE, when

03:32:59.260 --> 03:33:03.220
you direct her for these types of compositions that are so good with that one punch, just

03:33:03.220 --> 03:33:07.820
deleting someone from Niolal, Keanuall, Ziggsall, everything through under the back line, they

03:33:07.820 --> 03:33:12.260
really do excel around a couple items, but when you get to later and later stages and

03:33:12.260 --> 03:33:27.260
Luxury items are coming through and all of a sudden there's Azonius on Castle, there's Azonius on Rumble, there's, you know, G.A. on Lucian, there's all of these additional tools, it can become really, really difficult to actually find that correct target and still be able to win out on the fights of B.L.G.

03:33:27.260 --> 03:33:37.940
There is not an empty seat here in the Gantan Convention Center.

03:33:37.940 --> 03:33:43.860
As the Hightings and the Gyos go at it once again, HLE seeing whether they can get to

03:33:43.860 --> 03:33:50.300
match point, BLG wanting to settle in and stretch this series to be only a best of three from

03:33:50.300 --> 03:33:54.020
here could be their opportunity to do so.

03:33:54.020 --> 03:33:55.820
This knight is now moving over.

03:33:55.820 --> 03:33:57.500
I could deal him with some of that bone plating.

03:33:57.500 --> 03:34:00.880
Those have the foxfire there, so he evens out the trade.

03:34:01.940 --> 03:34:04.220
Yeah, nice use of his deathfire touch

03:34:04.220 --> 03:34:05.940
and his bone plating there to go in,

03:34:05.940 --> 03:34:09.100
get the extra tick damage onto Zeka.

03:34:10.100 --> 03:34:12.060
But another foxfire trade, as you say,

03:34:12.060 --> 03:34:14.740
and we're gonna have opposite starts for the jungles again.

03:34:14.740 --> 03:34:16.260
So, gonna be very interesting

03:34:16.260 --> 03:34:18.260
because the Yorick and the Rumble matchup,

03:34:18.260 --> 03:34:22.420
if they do have Kenavi applying extra pressure up there

03:34:22.420 --> 03:34:26.420
and get Ziggs into a very good spot for his split pushing later on.

03:34:26.420 --> 03:34:30.620
Then that could be another avenue to try and pull them across the map.

03:34:30.620 --> 03:34:34.720
You want to open up the map here, and then it gives you all these chances

03:34:34.720 --> 03:34:39.020
for Camille to just jump out of Faga War and have Ari and Keanu burst damage

03:34:39.020 --> 03:34:41.720
and get those picks that you're looking for on HLE.

03:34:41.720 --> 03:34:43.420
I completely agree.

03:34:43.420 --> 03:34:44.620
It's just such a good match.

03:34:44.620 --> 03:34:48.420
If Yorick into Rumble really does favor Yorick into 1v1 pretty heavily,

03:34:48.420 --> 03:34:50.620
then you have all these great Naplers, people who can attack,

03:34:50.620 --> 03:34:52.120
and you have Ziggs who can hold.

03:34:52.120 --> 03:34:56.600
A three-camp gank again, topside, and this time it's Shun going to disrupt the top matchup.

03:34:56.600 --> 03:35:00.920
Yep, the enemy's taking a fair bit of damage, but Zayus now gets the bad news that there is a job in up here.

03:35:00.920 --> 03:35:04.440
The Flash trying to get him out, but he still gets tagged by the knock-up.

03:35:04.440 --> 03:35:07.000
He's gonna need a big old army of ghouls to make this happen.

03:35:07.000 --> 03:35:10.440
And he finds it! First point goes to Zayus!

03:35:10.440 --> 03:35:14.760
Shun will be able to get the revenge, but that is not what BLG wanted.

03:35:14.760 --> 03:35:19.480
That is not what they wanted at all, but imagine if he actually flashed through that flag and drag.

03:35:19.480 --> 03:35:21.000
He could have had the 1v2, I think.

03:35:21.000 --> 03:35:23.400
I mean, all the minion damage, look how many minions there is.

03:35:23.400 --> 03:35:26.600
This is the massive, massive minion wave here.

03:35:26.600 --> 03:35:30.200
And so, yes, he does try and go over the EQ here

03:35:30.200 --> 03:35:33.840
and gets it with the knockup, but still is able to turn it.

03:35:33.840 --> 03:35:36.880
All the minion damage and those ghouls onto Ben.

03:35:36.880 --> 03:35:39.520
Yeah, and Ben was not able to flash the Moring Mist.

03:35:39.520 --> 03:35:41.760
He flashed after he was hit by that E,

03:35:41.760 --> 03:35:44.680
and once that it tags you, all the ghouls are going on you.

03:35:44.680 --> 03:35:45.880
He had a bunch some end up.

03:35:45.880 --> 03:35:48.520
All of the minion damage he talked about as well, Kobe.

03:35:48.520 --> 03:35:50.680
You know, not a good flash from either top laner,

03:35:50.680 --> 03:35:57.960
But they are fighting in those minions gets first blood in the 1v2 and the bonus money from a first blood here

03:35:57.960 --> 03:36:00.460
Makes it super super not worth more than

03:36:01.800 --> 03:36:06.900
This is the hunt for the Grand Slam we were talking about last game these three players are that one

03:36:10.680 --> 03:36:14.940
I love the acting there too, it's gonna obviously just passing through here

03:36:14.940 --> 03:36:19.420
You know don't might need jungle on the way to the scuttle crab remember when I used to do this

03:36:20.680 --> 03:36:26.120
Well, there's a torn flash from on. They do manage to get the knockup on the Konami is the yeah

03:36:26.120 --> 03:36:29.500
The favor is returned as the teleport comes in from Knight makes his way back

03:36:29.740 --> 03:36:36.680
It's so fun to watch punch right back here another flash invested on is able to sit him down

03:36:36.680 --> 03:36:38.680
So during the celebration

03:36:38.680 --> 03:36:45.760
Immediately gets a counter kill on the Konami which results in counter juggling on top of it and does mean that shouldn't himself

03:36:45.760 --> 03:36:50.380
himself is going to have a big advantage, two kills, plus the extra little steal away

03:36:50.380 --> 03:36:54.460
here on Raptors and he should be able to secure his. And you see, walking back out

03:36:54.460 --> 03:36:59.660
onto the Rift now, Kanavi, his jungle is very light on camp, so has to get this gull

03:36:59.660 --> 03:37:00.660
crab.

03:37:00.660 --> 03:37:04.180
Yeah, absolutely. It's just such a good punish from on. You see this brilliant play from

03:37:04.180 --> 03:37:08.780
HLE, but double flash were committed and they instantly punish it here. And on now hanging

03:37:08.780 --> 03:37:12.340
around knowing there could be a possibility of a die, three members from both teams moving

03:37:12.340 --> 03:37:13.340
up.

03:37:13.340 --> 03:37:16.380
doesn't quite know, does now find out that Delight is in the area.

03:37:16.380 --> 03:37:21.580
Canavi, spotted moving towards that topside there as the flag and drag and the taunt as Delight keeps himself alive for now.

03:37:21.580 --> 03:37:25.020
Hookshot comes out, Delight doesn't quite find the angle.

03:37:25.020 --> 03:37:28.860
There's now On just looking for his target. The Morning Mist will connect once again with Bin,

03:37:28.860 --> 03:37:33.260
has eyes only for Zayas. He's looking to lock him down, he silences himself, the drill goes in,

03:37:33.260 --> 03:37:36.140
and they lock off the kill. Canavi's dead at the same time.

03:37:36.140 --> 03:37:39.340
But now it's Delight and Zekker trying to get this fight to work,

03:37:39.340 --> 03:37:42.380
as Delight has to flash to get himself out of the way as Knight turns up.

03:37:42.380 --> 03:37:44.680
Yeah, Bid says, you're not getting out of this one.

03:37:44.680 --> 03:37:47.520
I don't care if you have Zeke roaming up first.

03:37:47.520 --> 03:37:48.520
He forces the play.

03:37:48.520 --> 03:37:52.080
They get the extra kill on BLG, and they push them off the tower.

03:37:52.080 --> 03:37:52.580
Exactly.

03:37:52.580 --> 03:37:55.720
They get those extra rewards because not only do they get the kills,

03:37:55.720 --> 03:37:56.680
they deny the wave.

03:37:56.680 --> 03:37:58.380
The wave is going to push away from the Orc.

03:37:58.380 --> 03:37:59.380
They get a play.

03:37:59.380 --> 03:38:01.780
They push them out of their own jungle here.

03:38:01.780 --> 03:38:06.280
And that is fantastic for BLG.

03:38:06.280 --> 03:38:08.780
That's a slight advantage on money, but let's have a look at this again.

03:38:08.780 --> 03:38:11.980
And again, you're going to see the cancel on recall here on the minimap.

03:38:11.980 --> 03:38:14.060
So R is going to be the first one to roam up.

03:38:14.060 --> 03:38:16.220
So they make the call here for HLE.

03:38:16.220 --> 03:38:17.820
They're like, yeah, we're going to scrap it out,

03:38:17.820 --> 03:38:20.020
even though BLG got the early damage on us.

03:38:20.020 --> 03:38:23.060
But then Finn has this over here, just goes in on to Zez.

03:38:23.060 --> 03:38:24.580
Could not be clearly trying to help him out,

03:38:24.580 --> 03:38:27.300
but can obviously getting focused down by, on, and Shun.

03:38:27.300 --> 03:38:29.100
And I thought for a second with the scrap shield,

03:38:29.100 --> 03:38:32.020
that Zezka might not even be able to finish off Finn.

03:38:32.020 --> 03:38:34.420
And when Knight arrives, another flash has to be forced.

03:38:34.420 --> 03:38:37.580
They push it in, they deny it, and that man is locked in.

03:38:37.580 --> 03:38:38.140
Yeah, he is.

03:38:38.140 --> 03:38:38.780
He does that.

03:38:38.780 --> 03:38:40.100
You know you're in trouble.

03:38:40.100 --> 03:38:42.260
when Bin starts vibrating.

03:38:42.260 --> 03:38:44.100
Oh, on, speaking of which,

03:38:44.100 --> 03:38:46.140
is just gonna be backing away Hextech's sweep,

03:38:46.140 --> 03:38:48.180
just to try and soften him up there as men.

03:38:48.180 --> 03:38:50.260
Speaking of armies, there are a lot of things here

03:38:50.260 --> 03:38:52.340
in this top lane as Zeca is gonna show up as well.

03:38:52.340 --> 03:38:53.860
They're looking for the rumble

03:38:53.860 --> 03:38:54.980
and they will be able to grab the kill.

03:38:54.980 --> 03:38:56.940
Zayas walks it off at the same time,

03:38:56.940 --> 03:38:59.300
the rest of BLG looking to turn up.

03:38:59.300 --> 03:39:00.820
Zayas gonna have to employ his maiden

03:39:00.820 --> 03:39:02.220
to try and help out his teammates.

03:39:02.220 --> 03:39:04.780
He is going home looking a little worse for wear.

03:39:04.780 --> 03:39:07.940
Atlas, if you lose round one to the top lane fight,

03:39:07.940 --> 03:39:11.220
You just enact round two, they go right back there.

03:39:11.220 --> 03:39:14.740
They started themselves again first of the play this time

03:39:14.740 --> 03:39:16.980
and HLE do get the kill unanswered.

03:39:16.980 --> 03:39:18.220
And it was so costly because

03:39:18.220 --> 03:39:20.220
Bin wasn't able to actually fight that wave

03:39:20.220 --> 03:39:21.060
thinned it out at all.

03:39:21.060 --> 03:39:22.420
He couldn't get six, right?

03:39:22.420 --> 03:39:25.340
So the earlier six there from Zeus, he has the push.

03:39:25.340 --> 03:39:26.580
Bin had to wait at his tower.

03:39:26.580 --> 03:39:29.140
The fact that you could go with a fat wave at your tower,

03:39:29.140 --> 03:39:32.420
he's 27 CS at six and a half minutes.

03:39:32.420 --> 03:39:34.260
Oh man, yeah, and all of those minions

03:39:34.260 --> 03:39:35.420
got wiped out so there's no way

03:39:35.420 --> 03:39:37.220
that he can really get himself back.

03:39:37.220 --> 03:39:39.980
It's not like, oh, I'll pick up this fat wave that's coming up.

03:39:39.980 --> 03:39:43.140
No, well, that's all you're really getting, as we see right here.

03:39:43.140 --> 03:39:45.500
As Zeke sidesteps the flag and drag nicely done.

03:39:45.500 --> 03:39:48.420
Doesn't quite find the charm there, but getting yourself out of danger

03:39:48.420 --> 03:39:49.700
is the most important thing.

03:39:49.700 --> 03:39:53.220
And the amount that HLE have done prior to Stand United,

03:39:53.220 --> 03:39:56.980
prior to the equalizer in these ways to manipulate sidelines

03:39:56.980 --> 03:39:59.940
and create advantages for yourself has been very important

03:39:59.940 --> 03:40:03.180
because it's from now on that things get more difficult

03:40:03.180 --> 03:40:05.100
when that level six comes in from on

03:40:05.100 --> 03:40:07.820
and when Ben is able to just wipe out waves with the equalizer.

03:40:07.820 --> 03:40:11.980
And it's just funny to see how much of a battleground Top lane has become.

03:40:11.980 --> 03:40:14.300
It is bot lane that is the island this game.

03:40:14.300 --> 03:40:16.940
They're peacefully farming, chilling out down there,

03:40:16.940 --> 03:40:20.300
because both teams know how critical this Top lane matchup is.

03:40:20.300 --> 03:40:22.700
If Zayas gets ahead, it's so problematic for Ben.

03:40:23.420 --> 03:40:26.460
Oh, Grimisha just going to push by for back and get some self over the wall.

03:40:26.460 --> 03:40:28.460
That is going to be first straight going over to BLG though.

03:40:29.100 --> 03:40:33.180
Plus, we've had this discussion too and I really like talking about the

03:40:33.180 --> 03:40:37.820
the reason why we have so much support roaming now.

03:40:37.820 --> 03:40:39.540
And we saw it again, so.

03:40:39.540 --> 03:40:40.420
Howling gets the flash,

03:40:40.420 --> 03:40:43.020
Gumiishi struggling a little bit here in this 1v1.

03:40:43.020 --> 03:40:44.700
You get it super early on, of course, you know,

03:40:44.700 --> 03:40:46.840
cause the mages could be so sufficient on the bottom lane,

03:40:46.840 --> 03:40:49.740
but also I feel like the support roll quest

03:40:49.740 --> 03:40:51.460
is the fakest of quests.

03:40:51.460 --> 03:40:52.820
Literally at three minutes,

03:40:52.820 --> 03:40:56.460
it turns off the minus 25% golden experience

03:40:56.460 --> 03:40:57.660
from minions and other lanes.

03:40:57.660 --> 03:40:59.160
And so at level three, you're like,

03:40:59.160 --> 03:41:01.660
great, I've got my ticket, let's go on the map,

03:41:01.660 --> 03:41:03.740
you know, let's go top lane, let's make these plays.

03:41:03.740 --> 03:41:06.420
And then it's also the role that is best suited

03:41:06.420 --> 03:41:08.020
to abuse comeback experience.

03:41:08.020 --> 03:41:10.500
You know, look, the light end on our level four right now,

03:41:10.500 --> 03:41:13.460
but as soon as the average levels of the minions

03:41:13.460 --> 03:41:15.420
of your opponents hit level six,

03:41:15.420 --> 03:41:17.700
you start getting big comeback experience

03:41:17.700 --> 03:41:20.660
since you're the lowest level and so far behind.

03:41:20.660 --> 03:41:21.780
Well, now looking for some angles here.

03:41:21.780 --> 03:41:23.820
It's a screen display, talent finds nothing at all on.

03:41:23.820 --> 03:41:25.500
He's going to get that follow up.

03:41:25.500 --> 03:41:29.340
It's Knight, petrifying A's, but it's not quite doing enough

03:41:29.340 --> 03:41:32.420
Rezekah just gets himself out with that spear rush.

03:41:32.420 --> 03:41:33.680
Shun getting a nice knock up there.

03:41:33.680 --> 03:41:36.580
Rezeus running out of buttons and Bin turns up.

03:41:36.580 --> 03:41:39.580
That Flames spinner is hitting everything, but he goes down.

03:41:39.580 --> 03:41:42.020
Knight finds the twin bang to answer it,

03:41:42.020 --> 03:41:44.340
but it's rumbled for Camille so far.

03:41:44.340 --> 03:41:45.820
Shun looking a little worse for wear.

03:41:45.820 --> 03:41:48.860
And Grumi Ishii is now here to throw these bouncing bombs forward.

03:41:48.860 --> 03:41:51.580
The Grubbs should be taken here as on is the one that actually

03:41:51.580 --> 03:41:53.060
finishes off that second one.

03:41:53.060 --> 03:41:53.980
It's huge for BOG.

03:41:53.980 --> 03:41:56.380
I mean, they've got an unanswered Lucian on bottom side,

03:41:56.380 --> 03:41:57.460
still pushing.

03:41:57.460 --> 03:42:01.220
Viper got another minion wave there and almost was able to get the second turret plate.

03:42:01.220 --> 03:42:06.680
Exactly. Being able to just soak up that golden experience on that bottom side is going to be able to base here.

03:42:07.160 --> 03:42:12.300
PLG had so many members of HLE low, but not the damage to finish them off.

03:42:12.300 --> 03:42:16.060
It didn't feel like the damage was coming in at the same time, largely because Lucian is bot.

03:42:16.060 --> 03:42:20.220
This petrified gaze looked like it was going to be so impactful that a multi-man stun.

03:42:20.220 --> 03:42:25.340
But bin is very weak. Viper is not there, and they just didn't really have anything behind it.

03:42:25.340 --> 03:42:29.180
Yeah, they don't get their Qiyana, you know, ult to the land there, so

03:42:29.180 --> 03:42:32.180
goes down immediately afterwards, but then

03:42:32.180 --> 03:42:37.220
fighting right back out here in BLG, shouldn't with the EQ back inside.

03:42:37.220 --> 03:42:40.180
And I gotta say, Bin's equalizer basically did nothing.

03:42:40.180 --> 03:42:44.820
He used it after the Petch-Flying Gaze ended, and put it in between everyone there.

03:42:44.820 --> 03:42:49.180
So if he had the equalizer then flashed in, I think he could get two, three kills potentially.

03:42:49.180 --> 03:42:52.780
If he had been a little bit closer to the fight, obviously he had to move down from top lane

03:42:52.780 --> 03:42:54.780
and could have had that equalizer during the pinch-firing base.

03:42:54.780 --> 03:42:56.780
Also could have been a couple more kills,

03:42:56.780 --> 03:42:59.280
but just not there, right place, right time.

03:42:59.280 --> 03:43:02.080
Could have even got it in that corridor as they were trying to escape as well.

03:43:02.080 --> 03:43:05.280
And I was expecting Bind to just kind of kill everyone in that moment.

03:43:05.280 --> 03:43:08.280
Wasn't quite able to do so, it was just a delight that did fall down.

03:43:08.280 --> 03:43:13.080
But three deaths for Kenavi. It's not the same game as we saw in the last one.

03:43:13.080 --> 03:43:16.880
He's going to have to try and get himself back out onto a good position on this rip.

03:43:16.880 --> 03:43:20.980
Maybe this is an opportunity to do so as he blasts cones over looking for Shen,

03:43:20.980 --> 03:43:27.140
who's 3-0-3, 100% kill contribution, and has been everywhere here in this game.

03:43:27.140 --> 03:43:31.140
This is a really impressive bounce back here for the BLG jungler.

03:43:31.140 --> 03:43:34.260
This shows that that first game didn't really tell the whole story.

03:43:34.260 --> 03:43:38.500
And while Shun is, you know, 3-0-3, you look over on the other side, 0-3-2 in jungler,

03:43:38.500 --> 03:43:42.420
they have basically the same XP and the same gold, so Bid in trouble again.

03:43:42.420 --> 03:43:47.460
Yep, put into that goalie wall as the equalizer goes down and Kanabi does not care this,

03:43:47.460 --> 03:43:51.220
Tanks up the turret just enough once again that Shun looks to get in there.

03:43:51.220 --> 03:43:55.220
The capitalism goes down and does shut down Zas once again.

03:43:55.220 --> 03:43:57.860
How many times have we seen you dying for a turret plate, Muddy?

03:43:57.860 --> 03:44:01.860
There you go. Shun's able to get in range for the dunk.

03:44:01.860 --> 03:44:03.860
Wait a second. Another colon comes out.

03:44:03.860 --> 03:44:06.820
Viper trying to keep that pressure on the bottom side.

03:44:06.820 --> 03:44:08.900
Yeah, Zaka looking for an angle towards on here.

03:44:08.900 --> 03:44:12.660
Or is maybe on looking for an angle towards him as the charm goes wide.

03:44:12.660 --> 03:44:15.380
Nicely played by this Shun actually as Yop Shuk does get propped.

03:44:15.380 --> 03:44:22.160
Nice stun coming out from Kanabi, defensively as we look here towards this bottom side things still remaining difficult for Gumiishi

03:44:22.360 --> 03:44:26.560
Does not quite have his first item completed just yet, Shun getting himself out of the way

03:44:27.200 --> 03:44:30.560
And BLG might actually get some free time with this out of turret in mid lane

03:44:30.560 --> 03:44:33.020
Look at all that crystalline overgrowth that has already built up

03:44:33.020 --> 03:44:35.120
Yeah, I can get a little bit of gold there

03:44:35.120 --> 03:44:39.520
But now the item completion looking pretty grim before being up on the top lane

03:44:39.520 --> 03:44:40.980
and he rushed the steel caps.

03:44:40.980 --> 03:44:42.920
Triforce is now done for York,

03:44:42.920 --> 03:44:45.480
and this is such a huge spike for this champion

03:44:45.480 --> 03:44:46.320
in the 1v1.

03:44:46.320 --> 03:44:49.000
It's already been very, very difficult for Ben.

03:44:49.000 --> 03:44:51.040
At the very least, the main is on cooldown for a while

03:44:51.040 --> 03:44:52.000
because he did die,

03:44:52.000 --> 03:44:54.120
so that's a little relief of pressure.

03:44:54.120 --> 03:44:55.920
Yeah, I mean, when you're looking at

03:44:55.920 --> 03:44:59.920
what is still going well for HLE, it is the solo lanes.

03:44:59.920 --> 03:45:01.840
It is Zayas and it's also Zeca,

03:45:01.840 --> 03:45:04.440
because Zeca with the early dark seal

03:45:04.440 --> 03:45:07.320
and now completing malignance here on Ari,

03:45:07.320 --> 03:45:09.280
that could be the hope for them is the solo lanes,

03:45:09.280 --> 03:45:18.280
They've got their gold lead, they have their first dragon, and it feels quite strong for them, but we'll see what Zaeus and Zeca have to say about it this time around.

03:45:18.280 --> 03:45:26.280
And Kanabi's going for an interesting build to start this one off as well, not too perturbed for about the 0-3 start that he did have.

03:45:26.280 --> 03:45:33.280
No, not at all. I mean, you are going this item, it's kind of the same thing as Viper. It's almost like they're expecting it to be, you know, a really aggressive game.

03:45:33.280 --> 03:45:34.920
the goodness greaves coming through for Viper,

03:45:34.920 --> 03:45:37.640
but they have just been peacefully farming in the bot lane.

03:45:37.640 --> 03:45:40.360
This item is very good if you can get all the stacks,

03:45:40.360 --> 03:45:42.600
but in pro games, in my experience,

03:45:42.600 --> 03:45:44.480
almost always when the pivotal fight happens,

03:45:44.480 --> 03:45:46.080
they have like no stacks,

03:45:46.080 --> 03:45:47.800
and I just feel like in those cases,

03:45:47.800 --> 03:45:49.400
it's not very valuable,

03:45:49.400 --> 03:45:52.120
whereas there's tons of offensive pressure,

03:45:52.120 --> 03:45:55.040
you might need something like Steelcaps to survive.

03:45:55.040 --> 03:45:57.160
Our second drake now being taken here by BLT

03:45:57.160 --> 03:45:58.400
is delight, looking for a bit of an angle.

03:45:58.400 --> 03:45:59.760
My asthma now on cooldown here,

03:45:59.760 --> 03:46:01.120
as Nite gets back to his teammates,

03:46:01.120 --> 03:46:03.000
they look for Kanabi, Supreme Dislike talent,

03:46:03.000 --> 03:46:07.560
onto Shenmueger in front of him, finds absolutely nothing and Shen locks down that second dragon.

03:46:08.280 --> 03:46:14.200
It's an ocean soul this game, BLG still thinking about trying to find an angle here as HLE, pretty healthy

03:46:14.600 --> 03:46:19.840
as they look to try and respond, but Gumiishi moving on over should be able to get some damage on this turret at least.

03:46:20.080 --> 03:46:22.680
So it's interesting, they're going to trade mid-friar for bot-friar.

03:46:23.040 --> 03:46:26.600
Viper's like, fine, I will just go push bottom lane down here and over the wall.

03:46:26.600 --> 03:46:31.480
Oh, Petch Frank is going to connect onto the Camille, the charm lands on on there, he'll be going down first.

03:46:31.480 --> 03:46:33.280
That's now Shun's in trouble.

03:46:33.280 --> 03:46:36.680
Kenavi trying to find that stun, but doesn't quite get there.

03:46:36.680 --> 03:46:40.280
I believe had the water picked up.

03:46:40.280 --> 03:46:42.180
It's now Zayus, morning mist.

03:46:42.180 --> 03:46:45.680
He seemed to be magnetized to be in so far in this lane.

03:46:45.680 --> 03:46:46.480
Absolutely has.

03:46:46.480 --> 03:46:48.180
I mean, it's just that one for one at the end of the day.

03:46:48.180 --> 03:46:50.680
Knight definitely hoping to get more members

03:46:50.680 --> 03:46:52.680
and that ends up being that trade.

03:46:52.680 --> 03:46:54.280
The protocol hasn't rushed.

03:46:54.280 --> 03:46:55.180
It's like a runaway.

03:46:55.180 --> 03:46:55.680
Should be okay.

03:46:55.680 --> 03:46:56.680
The protocol hasn't rushed there.

03:46:56.680 --> 03:46:59.680
Is now complete for on which obviously is a very effective item.

03:46:59.680 --> 03:47:00.680
But against these kind of teams,

03:47:00.680 --> 03:47:02.880
I always really think you should be going to lock it.

03:47:03.880 --> 03:47:07.680
Oh, Kanavi can have to flash it out of the way of being and Sean

03:47:07.680 --> 03:47:10.780
does quite find a stun, but it's not quite going to work as they're stench

03:47:10.780 --> 03:47:15.180
united from on as he joins the party flash out of the way of the taunt there from Zayas

03:47:15.480 --> 03:47:18.780
and has to use that and loses his jungler a fourth death here for Kanavi.

03:47:18.880 --> 03:47:23.080
Yeah, Kanavi down here talking about, well, he can definitely get punished and

03:47:23.180 --> 03:47:27.480
very, very squishy does have to burn the flash and still dies

03:47:27.480 --> 03:47:33.660
is very devastating for their playmaking ability and they invest a lot of people on topside to do it though BLG

03:47:34.080 --> 03:47:38.360
You know saying multiple people up on the topside and there's actually no response though

03:47:38.360 --> 03:47:44.240
So it's very nicely done because night can just soak up the minion wave in the bottom lane BLG for that play

03:47:44.320 --> 03:47:46.320
They don't lose anything

03:47:47.080 --> 03:47:51.200
Night getting gold is just so problematic this champion Casio

03:47:51.880 --> 03:47:56.960
Can get so damn tanky when you get a lot of early items you get accelerated the early Roa

03:47:57.480 --> 03:48:00.360
can build defensive items very, very easily and...

03:48:00.360 --> 03:48:02.120
Shunz, got to be careful.

03:48:02.120 --> 03:48:05.560
Yeah, there's the flash in, it's Shunz put inside the Hextech Ultimatum.

03:48:05.560 --> 03:48:09.320
Supreme Splatal comes down there as well, but Gamushi, the first one to die,

03:48:09.320 --> 03:48:14.040
on might be picked up as well, but even here is able to get so far away from this fight.

03:48:14.040 --> 03:48:16.520
Knight gets in there, and now the grounding's on Kanabe.

03:48:16.520 --> 03:48:19.640
He tries to escape, bounces over the wall, but it does not matter.

03:48:19.640 --> 03:48:24.040
HLE running for the hills as they are trying to turn it towards Viper here.

03:48:24.040 --> 03:48:28.640
The dash over the wall, he's into the Gully wall as well as Shelley gets involved.

03:48:28.640 --> 03:48:36.240
Piper will survive this one and now Knight making his way over and a teleport out from this Lucian to make sure that he's alright.

03:48:36.240 --> 03:48:42.040
Teyus, lasting a long time but I believe he's dead as well as Viper gets in there and helps Bin take the kill.

03:48:42.040 --> 03:48:48.640
Yeah Viper, I think he was just going for a little bit of a TP flank there as HLE committed in but Viper had such a good angle still leading.

03:48:48.640 --> 03:48:54.200
Ok, just bois him out, Petrifying Ace is gonna connect, gets a stun on to Delight as now the

03:48:54.200 --> 03:48:58.880
poison is ticking down and Knight having to avoid that bouncing bomb, grooming his sheet,

03:48:58.880 --> 03:48:59.880
finds a third.

03:48:59.880 --> 03:49:05.280
The teleport right back to mid lane and then against the wall, you can't dodge that, Guma

03:49:05.280 --> 03:49:09.240
blows him up, does that have to flash away though because Knight was waiting in the brush

03:49:09.240 --> 03:49:13.400
on the control ward as well and the action just continues here.

03:49:13.400 --> 03:49:18.600
Guma quietly now is 1.6k up, this guy is getting so fed, he's done his Shadowflame, his Luz

03:49:18.600 --> 03:49:24.600
And just kind of sitting on that tier as Ziggs players love to do is going to be pumping out so much damage

03:49:24.600 --> 03:49:29.600
He's been going for these fully offensive builds. I'm assuming he's going to be going straight in towards the death cap once again

03:49:29.600 --> 03:49:35.600
And that is so frightening. We can see this fight the initial engage from HLE looks pretty good

03:49:35.600 --> 03:49:42.600
But look at Viper on the side. This calling just destroyed Guma. He basically soloed Guma down, knocks him out of the air

03:49:42.600 --> 03:49:45.600
Yeah, Guma down, so they get the shut down there.

03:49:45.600 --> 03:49:49.340
Traded for the Jarvan, but I mean, the Shen is honestly fairly

03:49:49.340 --> 03:49:52.600
taking there with the Protoplasm, and so BLG are able to run them down

03:49:52.600 --> 03:49:57.600
with the Cassio DPS just continual uptime, and now we're right back at the scene of the crime.

03:49:57.600 --> 03:50:02.600
Yeah, you got the Hextech minefield down here from Gumi Ishii just to try and make sure it's as difficult as possible to get in.

03:50:02.600 --> 03:50:07.600
You can see it's pretty difficult, these bouncing bombs hitting two people every single time.

03:50:07.600 --> 03:50:10.600
And BLG have had enough, they're getting out of here. Shelly is theirs.

03:50:10.600 --> 03:50:14.260
I mean, that's just one by Guma. Guma hits three bombs in a row on On.

03:50:14.260 --> 03:50:16.740
On goes down to 20, 30 percent. He's just going to leave.

03:50:16.740 --> 03:50:22.180
Yeah, the poke damage, I mean, the extra range of the poke damage here is what's going to be very dangerous.

03:50:22.180 --> 03:50:27.100
If they, if they can't get like a good Lucian culling or something from the side of BLG,

03:50:27.100 --> 03:50:29.980
then Guma is able to get a couple of those to land.

03:50:30.380 --> 03:50:32.060
That is going to be free objectives.

03:50:32.060 --> 03:50:36.380
And so push on the top side here from ZS. He wants to get in for their turret plating again.

03:50:37.020 --> 03:50:38.700
See where the On actually decides to go for anything.

03:50:38.700 --> 03:50:46.000
You can see in our Coinbase gold grind, Gumiishi incredibly far ahead of Viper here, who was actually doing a lot of work in the laning phase.

03:50:46.500 --> 03:50:49.300
It's just a couple of these fights that have gone the Ziggs way.

03:50:49.500 --> 03:50:54.500
And I just worry with on not going for, you know, this more supportive itemization, not going lock it.

03:50:54.700 --> 03:51:00.400
Champions like Viper, like Knight, there's so much AoE coming through, you know, from Kanavi, from Guma.

03:51:00.600 --> 03:51:04.800
And I feel like you need every tool possible to keep Viper alive if he's the one getting Dovon.

03:51:04.900 --> 03:51:08.400
Yeah. Guma literally told Kajal, I hate Mage's bottom.

03:51:08.400 --> 03:51:15.400
But, Ziggs is the mage that he smashes with, and we'll see how much of an effect this damage is going to have,

03:51:15.400 --> 03:51:17.400
because Dragon started up and they're pulling him over.

03:51:17.400 --> 03:51:19.400
Sketch 22. He hits mages, but he loves winning.

03:51:19.400 --> 03:51:22.400
Yeah, and he also, like, the AD carries it, he's best at.

03:51:22.400 --> 03:51:24.400
Kind of like mages, as well.

03:51:24.400 --> 03:51:26.400
Like Jhin and Varus, right?

03:51:26.400 --> 03:51:29.400
Like, he's mainly doing skill shots and all that business.

03:51:29.400 --> 03:51:33.400
So, I think it's somewhat strange that he's so good at it,

03:51:33.400 --> 03:51:36.400
even if he may not necessarily like it, is okay.

03:51:36.400 --> 03:51:43.320
Zeke getting culled momentarily down to almost 50% here as this would be sole point for BLG if they're able to get this dragon.

03:51:43.640 --> 03:51:48.240
Minefield does go down it's in an annoying position, but BLG haven't taken damage just yet.

03:51:48.240 --> 03:51:54.880
And yeah, Shelly is just getting some work done here in this mid lane, and the poke damage on the shun is starting to add up.

03:51:54.880 --> 03:52:00.640
It's going to be the dragon secured by BLG, but they cannot keep shun alive and now the rest of BLG are running for the health.

03:52:00.640 --> 03:52:06.800
Xeas just flashes on top of Nite, puts him into the Gully Wall, and the noxious blasts are coming down,

03:52:06.800 --> 03:52:10.560
but Xeas looks to be ignoring it completely. The taunt does come down as finally.

03:52:10.560 --> 03:52:15.360
Some damage is coming in. Finn gets in there with a flash, and the Q comes out from Xeas, and he's alive.

03:52:15.360 --> 03:52:22.320
They take out this Rumble yet again as Kanabi over extends a little, and now on taking a fair bit of damage to Bouncing Bombs,

03:52:22.320 --> 03:52:25.200
and now the Ghouls to chase him down.

03:52:25.200 --> 03:52:28.960
Not going to be enough to take down the Shen here as the Bouncing Bombs will be avoided.

03:52:28.960 --> 03:52:34.060
It's a bloodbath, and in the end, HLE are able to chase them down afterwards.

03:52:34.060 --> 03:52:37.560
BLG got to Dragon's Soul point, but at what cost?

03:52:37.560 --> 03:52:40.560
Yeah, cost them a lot here, as they do focus us down.

03:52:40.560 --> 03:52:43.560
They were going for this mid lane play with the Herald, they got multiple charges.

03:52:43.560 --> 03:52:46.260
Should goes in, but didn't have his flag and drag to get back out,

03:52:46.260 --> 03:52:48.460
and then Zaeus knows he has the TP shield.

03:52:48.460 --> 03:52:54.360
He just full sends it, creates space for his team to be able to move forward constantly throughout these bombs.

03:52:54.360 --> 03:52:58.360
Yeah, I mean, it's a good coordination for BLG to get Knight out of the cage very quickly.

03:52:58.360 --> 03:53:03.560
That's been actually full sending in here and can't finish off this and been tp'd in the middle of that

03:53:03.560 --> 03:53:07.080
I think an accidental press and maybe he was trying to go for the tp shield, but

03:53:07.720 --> 03:53:12.360
Hey look rough, but there copy also tries to go in and he's not able to land his cue

03:53:12.360 --> 03:53:14.520
So he doesn't get the damage and he goes down too

03:53:14.920 --> 03:53:20.920
So players on both teams feeling the bloodlust and trying to chase for those kills and in the end

03:53:21.240 --> 03:53:24.600
It's the safe people like guma with the bombs that do the most damage

03:53:24.600 --> 03:53:31.600
Exactly, everyone's just fighting like crazy people and Gumi's just sitting there just lobbing over and over again getting all this damage down.

03:53:31.600 --> 03:53:32.600
Yeah, he's right here.

03:53:32.600 --> 03:53:40.600
Alright, Delight now moving in towards the mid lane and I feel like this game it's just all about Zayus and Gumiishi and what they can do.

03:53:40.600 --> 03:53:48.600
Zayus just a brick wall in this frontline flashing on top of people and there just doesn't seem to be enough of an answer when this Yorick gets this far ahead.

03:53:48.600 --> 03:53:50.600
And he did this in the LCK.

03:53:50.600 --> 03:53:55.400
It's one of these players that makes the Yorick look completely broken

03:53:55.400 --> 03:53:58.480
if he gets any sort of lead like this.

03:53:58.480 --> 03:54:02.520
Yeah, when he is teleported in, he has created a lot of space for them

03:54:02.520 --> 03:54:03.920
and presence here with the Yorick.

03:54:03.920 --> 03:54:07.680
But they actually didn't even finish the recall from Zeke.

03:54:07.680 --> 03:54:08.880
Oh, shun.

03:54:08.880 --> 03:54:12.080
And after flash, the flag and drag was interrupted as Zeke looking for an angle.

03:54:12.080 --> 03:54:13.080
He doesn't find it.

03:54:13.080 --> 03:54:14.520
I couldn't be able to find too much there.

03:54:14.520 --> 03:54:15.560
HLE in control.

03:54:15.560 --> 03:54:17.920
They do have this 3K lead, and they have a super fed Zeke

03:54:17.920 --> 03:54:22.400
who almost has a death gap, but BLG are on soul point and ocean soul.

03:54:22.800 --> 03:54:26.080
Some people love it, some people hate it, but it is still a lot of value here,

03:54:26.080 --> 03:54:29.040
especially against the poke that's going to be coming out from Guma.

03:54:29.480 --> 03:54:31.880
And we can see Viper now on four stacks of the Gutton's Screeze.

03:54:31.880 --> 03:54:35.200
If you get an ocean soul too, maybe you can start to shrug off more of this poke.

03:54:35.640 --> 03:54:40.800
And so that is kind of the goal here for BLG is just continue playing for the

03:54:40.800 --> 03:54:45.120
dragons, playing for the soul, and it's going to be up to HLE to try to deny it.

03:54:45.120 --> 03:54:47.560
Because last time they were trying to do kind of both, right?

03:54:47.560 --> 03:54:50.920
they had the double charge at the Herald. ZS was farming plates mid. They weren't really

03:54:50.920 --> 03:54:54.840
set up early enough to contest the dragon itself. They were playing for the towers and

03:54:54.840 --> 03:54:55.840
the fight after.

03:54:55.840 --> 03:55:00.520
Alright now, Delight just getting a little bit of homework done, getting some vision around

03:55:00.520 --> 03:55:05.200
that Baron pit that has now spawned. It's been up for a couple of minutes time here,

03:55:05.200 --> 03:55:09.400
is on taking a lot of damage. The Shen, you're talking like Pratapalas Mahannas is really

03:55:09.400 --> 03:55:14.040
good for like efficient stats, but he's still a support. So he's not as tanky as Shen's

03:55:14.040 --> 03:55:18.180
can be and that poke damage coming on through from this area as he looks for a

03:55:18.180 --> 03:55:20.740
bit of an angle from the fog of war is pretty scary.

03:55:20.740 --> 03:55:22.240
Yeah, all the lethality.

03:55:22.240 --> 03:55:26.300
Oh dear, the charming Zekka is going to land on the 98.

03:55:26.300 --> 03:55:32.440
He does find Petra, I guess, so that's Kenobi taking out once again and both of you just fall down on.

03:55:32.440 --> 03:55:35.740
I mean he might be a bit squishy but he's got an arm on him.

03:55:35.740 --> 03:55:37.740
Beautiful, stead, united.

03:55:37.740 --> 03:55:39.140
It makes the difference Alice.

03:55:39.140 --> 03:55:41.840
They don't have enough damage to get through it to kill Knight.

03:55:41.840 --> 03:55:46.320
Knight survives, he flashes, and he returns the favor with damage.

03:55:46.320 --> 03:55:51.680
Very fast stand united, and the heal coming through, and Knight is building quite a bit of HP,

03:55:51.680 --> 03:55:55.440
has the upgraded Merc treads, he is not easy to knock down.

03:55:55.440 --> 03:56:00.000
BLG, we're thinking about it going towards Baron, and then he realizes, all right, well Kuma is still alive,

03:56:00.000 --> 03:56:02.400
this is going to be very difficult to do it in his face.

03:56:03.520 --> 03:56:07.280
Yeah, I mean, I kind of see their thing though, for HLE, they're like, all right, both of us,

03:56:07.280 --> 03:56:15.280
perfect position here to get the jump with a Qiyana and an Ari onto him, but the save comes in for BLG.

03:56:17.280 --> 03:56:21.840
HLE starting this up and York can actually do Baron quite quickly because of the additional minions.

03:56:21.840 --> 03:56:26.400
They are going to have to pull off though. Guma now completes his death cap and I will say

03:56:26.400 --> 03:56:31.120
it does get a little concerning if in a pretty ideal situation like that you still can't kill Knight

03:56:31.120 --> 03:56:35.120
because Knight is going to keep building more defensively, in comes the Seekers now,

03:56:35.120 --> 03:56:38.880
which is going to make things that much more difficult and on now finally has his locket.

03:56:38.880 --> 03:56:43.120
One thing is though also you know kills are one thing and getting the gold if you don't have to

03:56:43.120 --> 03:56:48.240
flash on Cassiopeia and it actually is punished now then maybe you stills call worth right.

03:56:48.240 --> 03:56:52.800
If you actually can kill knight this time around in the team fight and deny a dragon soul.

03:56:53.520 --> 03:56:57.520
Well I'm taking a bit of damage here stand united we are still waiting a little while

03:56:57.520 --> 03:57:00.560
for it as he's down to 50 percent. Fish in the barrel.

03:57:00.560 --> 03:57:03.160
Goomba's BC he's scripting for sure. Yeah, he is

03:57:13.760 --> 03:57:19.780
Restive HLE not starting the fight just yet the poke damage needs to rain in at first before they do commit to anything

03:57:19.780 --> 03:57:21.200
There's Viper in the back of the pit

03:57:21.200 --> 03:57:26.200
Not exactly where he wants to be as a sprint split talent goes over Zeca finds the charm on the Viper

03:57:26.200 --> 03:57:29.920
and we'll be able to take him down and now the soul still on the table nigger

03:57:29.920 --> 03:57:34.400
in front of him comes in and it is going to be Kanabi falling down the soul is

03:57:34.400 --> 03:57:38.520
picked up as on let's see whether he can find it the taunt connects on the

03:57:38.520 --> 03:57:42.320
second but he will go down Gumiushi still at full health here as Knight is

03:57:42.320 --> 03:57:46.640
trying to get out of there should as well down very very low finds a knockup

03:57:46.640 --> 03:57:51.560
onto the Camille but he does go into the sky finds his way out utilizing the

03:57:51.560 --> 03:57:56.080
ultimate bin is gonna die those Gumiushi just needs another short fuse but the

03:57:56.080 --> 03:58:00.080
The Flash gets out, the Flaskone's there as well, and Bin is going to survive.

03:58:00.080 --> 03:58:02.380
BLG, the Heist is successful.

03:58:02.380 --> 03:58:04.880
Yeah, Zeca's hunting for him, but it looks like he is going to get out.

03:58:04.880 --> 03:58:05.980
They got the Dragon.

03:58:05.980 --> 03:58:08.180
I love how Kanavi played in this moment.

03:58:08.180 --> 03:58:12.680
He's so calm in these really panicky situations, and probably was trying to get in there.

03:58:12.680 --> 03:58:15.480
But Shun is back, and he's going for this.

03:58:15.480 --> 03:58:18.880
Alright, do you, uh, yeah, they definitely need more than two people to teleport.

03:58:18.880 --> 03:58:20.780
He's going to bring Grimuse over here at the same time.

03:58:20.780 --> 03:58:22.280
Is these Ghouls onto Shun?

03:58:22.280 --> 03:58:23.380
Almost taking him down.

03:58:23.380 --> 03:58:27.800
Now Knight in that Gully wall, but goes Golden utilizing that arm guard that he did have.

03:58:27.800 --> 03:58:31.900
Another mine would have been enough to take down Knight there, but he's able to get himself

03:58:31.900 --> 03:58:32.900
out.

03:58:32.900 --> 03:58:34.740
And that is just the Ark falling down.

03:58:34.740 --> 03:58:39.140
Oh, the healing, the value of his arm guard there too.

03:58:39.140 --> 03:58:43.060
Knight able to slither away from it in the end.

03:58:43.060 --> 03:58:46.700
And while HLE, they take the fight to Viper, and they jump over the back of the wall, and

03:58:46.700 --> 03:58:48.700
they kill Delusion.

03:58:48.700 --> 03:58:52.460
That gives the opening there, and BLG do get that Ocean Drake, and now with all of this

03:58:52.460 --> 03:58:57.300
healing it is gonna help so much so look at them all jumping over the pack of the

03:58:57.300 --> 03:59:01.500
pit to go for Viper but then look at the focus on dragon. Exactly they commit to

03:59:01.500 --> 03:59:05.300
that I like that decisiveness but then on and shun turning here onto Kanavi

03:59:05.300 --> 03:59:10.100
end of miasma he's grounded he can't get out of there at all so they have full

03:59:10.100 --> 03:59:13.820
eyes on the objective HLE started the fight off well they killed it off that

03:59:13.820 --> 03:59:19.460
carry but it is so going to BLG and even though HLE are picking up some kills

03:59:19.460 --> 03:59:26.260
BLG are able to kite out enough of them survive, they keep that soul, and they're gonna be feeling so good about that fight.

03:59:26.420 --> 03:59:31.100
Yeah, incredible work in the priceless moment of the game here for BLG.

03:59:31.220 --> 03:59:37.060
They locked themselves down the soul, and now Elder is gonna be sporting so incredibly quickly in this game,

03:59:37.380 --> 03:59:42.220
as it was only about at minute 25 that we got our fourth and final elemental drake.

03:59:42.220 --> 03:59:44.380
So we could have some very interesting fights.

03:59:44.380 --> 03:59:49.380
Goomus did damage him as much as BLG combined on the Ziggs. 8k in one fight.

03:59:49.380 --> 03:59:54.380
That is one fight. That is insane, but Knight just completed his Zonius now.

03:59:54.380 --> 03:59:59.380
So he used the Seekers, immediately has enough gold to get the Zonius, which is such a big purchase.

03:59:59.380 --> 04:00:03.380
And that Flash you talked about earlier, Kobe, it's almost back up as well.

04:00:03.380 --> 04:00:09.380
Important item though, Oblivion Orb is done for the Ziggs as well, and he's the one that's been landing everything.

04:00:09.380 --> 04:00:13.380
And he's going to need to keep doing so if they want to fight against this Ocean Soul.

04:00:13.380 --> 04:00:18.860
If you can 100 to zero someone then the ocean so yeah, it's not gonna have a lot of time to take over

04:00:18.860 --> 04:00:24.680
So yeah, I do like that angle you're talking about the thing is with the stand United to maybe that buys enough time for them

04:00:24.740 --> 04:00:28.460
So it really is kind of close there. Yeah, I mean now they have this game united

04:00:28.460 --> 04:00:32.700
They have a heel on on they have the lock it if Viper went cleaver for a little bit HP

04:00:32.700 --> 04:00:37.460
They have zonias done on night you can see the shred has been purchased up for bin with a double AP so lanes

04:00:37.460 --> 04:00:40.020
He's gonna be going zonias next and things are gonna get more difficult

04:00:40.020 --> 04:00:46.400
So HLE trying to see if there's an angle on this there and the BLG are aware of it nice keeping and they're gonna contest

04:00:46.640 --> 04:00:48.640
All right, they get another control ward over

04:00:49.360 --> 04:00:52.000
She has to flash the flag and drag comes in from Shum

04:00:52.000 --> 04:00:53.140
They're not out of the woods just yet

04:00:53.140 --> 04:00:58.340
It's a coolie wall actually is set up to make sure that they're unable to get into the river

04:00:58.780 --> 04:01:02.820
Is the trade of flashes there Jarvan did go for that EQ flash but do the flash early

04:01:02.820 --> 04:01:07.920
Yeah, no flash on the digs. Maybe that is the maybe that is the hope here for BLG

04:01:07.920 --> 04:01:13.880
It's not a massive gold advantage though for HLE and as you guys were talking about,

04:01:13.880 --> 04:01:19.100
this is about BLG building up the tools to make the late game incredibly difficult for

04:01:19.100 --> 04:01:23.240
Hummellife Esports and maybe in two minutes time, they will have enough of them to make

04:01:23.240 --> 04:01:24.920
sure that this elder goes their way.

04:01:24.920 --> 04:01:28.680
So much is going to depend on if the pick is successful, you know, if this big burst

04:01:28.680 --> 04:01:33.720
damage comp from HLE is going to be able to successfully execute their kill.

04:01:33.720 --> 04:01:40.720
Shun here with his Guardian Angel, feels very secure, so secure in fact that they are going to start up this Baron with their vision control

04:01:40.720 --> 04:01:44.720
and they've got the spellcraft to pop here too to make sure they have full coverage.

04:01:44.720 --> 04:01:48.720
And with Ocean Soul, so they're going to stay high on HP, but they're looking to turn on this TP maybe.

04:01:48.720 --> 04:01:53.720
Yeah, Teleport comes in from Xeas as well to join this fight as Shun is over the other side of it.

04:01:53.720 --> 04:01:57.720
The Maiden getting involved as well as Bin gets into the fog of war.

04:01:57.720 --> 04:02:03.120
Viper, oh, Zackev finds an angle here towards his topside of Shun, waiting in that brush.

04:02:03.120 --> 04:02:08.220
And to Light, wanting to get on top of him, Shun down to 50%, looking to try and turn it.

04:02:08.220 --> 04:02:10.320
There's group issues and trouble, Sprint's spray talent.

04:02:10.320 --> 04:02:12.820
He at least gets the ulti, but he's gonna go down.

04:02:12.820 --> 04:02:19.620
Viper finds the angle under his form and support, and Seius trying to deal with four people here in this top lane is on his marking.

04:02:19.620 --> 04:02:25.320
The rest of the targets, it's a double for Viper, and BLG have found their moment.

04:02:25.320 --> 04:02:28.260
They found the team fight and now they can grab a Baron.

04:02:28.260 --> 04:02:31.680
Shun traded flashes with Gooma earlier and then it's on.

04:02:31.680 --> 04:02:33.640
The taunt flash onto the Ziggs.

04:02:33.640 --> 04:02:34.800
Knight there to follow it up.

04:02:34.800 --> 04:02:37.400
They take him out and in these extended fights,

04:02:37.400 --> 04:02:39.440
Oceans all so powerful.

04:02:39.440 --> 04:02:41.000
They are still incredibly healthy.

04:02:41.000 --> 04:02:42.680
Right back to the Baron.

04:02:42.680 --> 04:02:44.280
That is gonna be theirs.

04:02:44.280 --> 04:02:47.960
And they're gonna have this Baron during the Elder spawn

04:02:47.960 --> 04:02:51.080
to try to take full control over this.

04:02:51.080 --> 04:02:52.760
Gooma's gotta go into overtime now.

04:02:52.760 --> 04:02:54.280
Trying to clear all these minion waves

04:02:54.280 --> 04:02:57.560
into a Baron-empowered minion, so here's a look at it.

04:02:57.560 --> 04:03:00.620
With the Shen standing at it, as you stay on the bottom side,

04:03:00.620 --> 04:03:03.280
boom, they instantly kill off the Ziggs.

04:03:03.280 --> 04:03:06.340
So much of the damage of HLE is lost,

04:03:06.340 --> 04:03:08.600
and the teamfight is instantly lost.

04:03:08.600 --> 04:03:10.140
And I just love the communication there.

04:03:10.140 --> 04:03:13.200
You know, Shun, using the Cataclysm to slow the gap, uh-oh.

04:03:13.200 --> 04:03:15.800
Oh, dear. He's grounded. He is very, very dead.

04:03:15.800 --> 04:03:17.480
Shun gonna be the one to lock down that kill,

04:03:17.480 --> 04:03:20.760
and Kanavi, his ninth death of the game.

04:03:20.760 --> 04:03:23.520
A little bit of a difference from what we saw in game number one

04:03:23.520 --> 04:03:27.760
here is this one has not been his favorite. And that is elder gone now. You have no jungler

04:03:27.760 --> 04:03:33.520
unless there's heroics to be played by Guma. Maybe some sort of a try at an alt steel or

04:03:33.520 --> 04:03:39.200
something. But this is Ocean Soul. This is now a Goldy for BLG. The Goldy completely gone.

04:03:39.200 --> 04:03:44.000
And it is elder. See if Guma can maybe make some magic happen, but doesn't feel like he's

04:03:44.000 --> 04:03:49.720
even in range. I mean, this is Ektodia. They've got absolutely everything right now as the

04:03:49.720 --> 04:03:54.720
the teleports brings Zeca over there, but he is just going to watch as this elder is going to die.

04:03:54.720 --> 04:03:55.720
Go for Cassio!

04:03:55.720 --> 04:03:59.080
Yep, looking for a bit of an angle here, as Gumiishi underneath this turret,

04:03:59.080 --> 04:04:01.640
Knight is just fine though, is Viper looking for a flank.

04:04:01.640 --> 04:04:05.560
No charm comes in, he knows that that's his angle, his opportunity to get on forward.

04:04:05.560 --> 04:04:11.280
The Cataclysm goes down, the Dragon's wrath will be wrought all over HLE!

04:04:11.280 --> 04:04:16.240
And that is two kills, a double for Viper, and they will just proceed with these minions

04:04:16.240 --> 04:04:19.320
towards this bottom lane and destroy the base.

04:04:19.320 --> 04:04:26.240
BLG strike back in game number two. They're inside the base and I don't think there's a lot that HLE can do to stop them.

04:04:27.000 --> 04:04:30.960
He's empowered minions. There is no gourmet issue to get through them.

04:04:31.520 --> 04:04:36.760
And yes, Neus had a decent start to this game, but I don't think he can do anything. There is Elba, there is Baron.

04:04:36.800 --> 04:04:42.640
His Maiden is going to be taken down here as well as BLG with this army of siege minions from this bottom lane.

04:04:43.520 --> 04:04:45.720
Now playing it pretty slowly here is night.

04:04:45.720 --> 04:04:49.080
Looking for some of these noxious glasses equalizer will finally be thrown down

04:04:49.080 --> 04:04:52.560
Nezas being eaten by a dragon Kanabi with the world's smallest

04:04:52.560 --> 04:04:56.080
Sprint display of talent and Ben is just gonna burn into the ground

04:04:56.080 --> 04:05:00.680
Delight taken out and second the last man standing but not standing for long as

04:05:00.680 --> 04:05:06.120
Gumiuchi gets back up again just to watch his Nexus be destroyed and the

04:05:06.120 --> 04:05:11.920
series is evened out and it's a best of three from here. All tied up back and forth

04:05:11.920 --> 04:05:16.480
Just how you'd want it at the MSI finals who's got the edge desk

04:05:18.080 --> 04:05:20.780
It's hard to tell honestly after this

04:05:21.560 --> 04:05:27.600
Second game here because a completely different look on the side of HLE a completely different look on the side of the jungler

04:05:27.600 --> 04:05:30.000
Of HLE as well, but we're gonna come back to that a bit later

04:05:30.600 --> 04:05:35.960
BLG fights back the only thing that I want to state here is the fact that both the planners lied

04:05:35.960 --> 04:05:43.960
We promised 1v1. It turned it to an open house on the top lane where the only ones not invited are the AD carries.

04:05:43.960 --> 04:05:49.960
That's true. They were left alone on their devices. They might have been sad to miss out, but watching that top site, my God.

04:05:49.960 --> 04:05:53.960
The absolute disrespect. Does their word mean nothing?

04:05:53.960 --> 04:05:59.960
It does mean absolutely nothing. In game one, Knavite at a three-man, or three-camp, and into gank top.

04:05:59.960 --> 04:06:06.800
this game we saw a three I can't get into top after three camps and my god

04:06:06.800 --> 04:06:11.560
after that they just kept bringing more and more people but it became an arms

04:06:11.560 --> 04:06:15.360
race in that top lane it was in the game one okay can Abbie's up there a few

04:06:15.360 --> 04:06:19.400
times then it kind of moves on to all right you know I'm gonna bring my support

04:06:19.400 --> 04:06:22.880
okay well I'm gonna bring my mid laner okay we're bringing the AD carries

04:06:22.880 --> 04:06:27.400
everyone was moving up that top lane and it was actually the fact that Zayas

04:06:27.400 --> 04:06:32.880
Who's that to turn around this kill in the 2v1 that really started everyone moving okay?

04:06:32.880 --> 04:06:39.760
And I got to throw some shade because game one been enemy jungler comes up been dies get to ally jungler comes up

04:06:40.880 --> 04:06:44.140
Dies this man needs to chill out now this play

04:06:44.200 --> 04:06:45.720
There's nothing that can be done

04:06:45.720 --> 04:06:53.040
But there were a number of bad deaths and my man was feeling himself, but he needs to calm down

04:06:53.040 --> 04:06:55.040
He needs to chill out.

04:06:55.040 --> 04:06:57.040
It's a rivalry for Lisa, you know?

04:06:57.040 --> 04:06:59.040
Four out of five on both sides

04:06:59.040 --> 04:07:01.040
felt like calm, cool, collected.

04:07:01.040 --> 04:07:03.040
Then you've got Konami and Ben just like,

04:07:03.040 --> 04:07:05.040
Ahh!

04:07:05.040 --> 04:07:07.040
Konami literally built hubris!

04:07:07.040 --> 04:07:09.040
Exactly!

04:07:09.040 --> 04:07:11.040
You cannot write this down, you have to show people a clip.

04:07:11.040 --> 04:07:13.040
They won't believe you that the greedy feeding jungler

04:07:13.040 --> 04:07:15.040
built hubris.

04:07:15.040 --> 04:07:17.040
There's a lot of takedowns in the early game.

04:07:17.040 --> 04:07:19.040
Maybe it'll stay

04:07:19.040 --> 04:07:21.040
bloody, maybe it's the way back in.

04:07:21.040 --> 04:07:24.280
And it did, it did, to be fair, stay incredibly plump.

04:07:24.280 --> 04:07:25.720
It was a pretty bloody game!

04:07:25.720 --> 04:07:28.200
You know what, solo later did let us down though.

04:07:28.200 --> 04:07:29.760
It was nice!

04:07:29.760 --> 04:07:31.880
This man was absolutely insane,

04:07:31.880 --> 04:07:33.160
and he's in every second,

04:07:33.160 --> 04:07:36.160
Ken Stankson Riles, reliable sister of Network Replay.

04:07:36.160 --> 04:07:38.740
Cause holy moly, he was absolutely insane.

04:07:38.740 --> 04:07:42.200
This guy was a beast, his KDA, the goal difference.

04:07:42.200 --> 04:07:44.160
This was the matchup that you expect.

04:07:44.160 --> 04:07:48.640
Nice, one he started his career was a Cassiopeia one trick.

04:07:48.640 --> 04:07:50.960
This guy has had Zek his number,

04:07:50.960 --> 04:07:55.240
And in this play, he does so well alongside his team to keep himself alive.

04:07:55.240 --> 04:08:01.320
Really crucially, the Keanu ultimate actually moved him out of the REQ return,

04:08:01.320 --> 04:08:06.040
and that bought time for the cavalry to arrive.

04:08:06.040 --> 04:08:09.440
The Shennault, the Jarvan flying over the wall, and the double kill.

04:08:09.440 --> 04:08:11.280
Keep flaming Kanavi, that's Steve.

04:08:11.280 --> 04:08:13.080
No, it was a really rough game.

04:08:13.080 --> 04:08:15.880
Other than the hubris, I think there are good deaths mixed in.

04:08:15.880 --> 04:08:19.240
But this is like, okay, back to the drawing board, let's calm down a little bit.

04:08:19.240 --> 04:08:25.840
And the thing is we finally got to see Mages bot lane and we got to see the value of Viper's champion pool, because it's what set Nite up.

04:08:25.840 --> 04:08:32.040
He got double mid lane bans because they weren't anticipating the Casio to be flexed back into the mid lane.

04:08:32.040 --> 04:08:35.640
That is the value of that additional champion pit, really setting you up for success.

04:08:35.640 --> 04:08:41.540
And with Delusion also doing well, it's feeling like BLG are one step ahead in draft as we initially expected.

04:08:41.540 --> 04:08:47.240
Well, it's interesting, right? Because they played zero mage bots and that was kind of their calling card going into this.

04:08:47.240 --> 04:08:52.800
But I do feel like Danny is just continuing to try and stay unpredictable earlier on in the tournament

04:08:52.800 --> 04:08:55.240
It was unpredictable to throw made his bot lane now

04:08:55.240 --> 04:09:00.700
He's getting it the unpredictable way of flexing the bot mage back to mid to get the advantage matches

04:09:00.700 --> 04:09:05.920
I find really fascinating. It's also taking a lot of those 80 carries answers out of the pool right like Lucian

04:09:05.920 --> 04:09:07.760
We've seen as an answer into the mages

04:09:07.760 --> 04:09:13.700
So if we are now going to pushing for a game for a game 5 you don't have those picks left for Gumiuchi

04:09:13.700 --> 04:09:15.440
So unless he's been able to pick up a few more

04:09:15.440 --> 04:09:17.800
I think he's in a little bit of trouble and that's the issue

04:09:17.800 --> 04:09:25.440
Are they gonna be able to bring the attention back to 80 carries or can they find solution in game because they add the upper hand in game one?

04:09:25.440 --> 04:09:29.680
I'm just wondering if they have it in the tank to bring it back here now that the LG is fighting back

04:09:30.040 --> 04:09:33.960
I'm a little bit nervous for them. I think draft is also incredibly important after you lose

04:09:33.960 --> 04:09:37.360
You obviously get right up for a selection you can opt optimize your draft a little bit

04:09:37.360 --> 04:09:41.360
But it is only getting trickier as we get deeper it that's the one major we expect from Guma right now

04:09:41.360 --> 04:09:44.340
Now it's kind of liability-sensual.

04:09:44.340 --> 04:09:46.380
Based off what I've seen, it's 1-1.

04:09:46.380 --> 04:09:48.560
I'm going to still favor HLA in this series.

04:09:48.560 --> 04:09:50.040
I feel like they're looking much better

04:09:50.040 --> 04:09:51.120
than they did the first time around.

04:09:51.120 --> 04:09:53.060
I don't feel like they're going to draft it the same way

04:09:53.060 --> 04:09:54.040
they were in the first series.

04:09:54.040 --> 04:09:55.760
And I do feel like Xeus versus Bin

04:09:55.760 --> 04:09:58.280
is going in the favor of Xeus in these games.

04:09:58.280 --> 04:10:00.200
And I'm just hoping that Kenavi continues

04:10:00.200 --> 04:10:01.880
to flip a coin and land head more often.

04:10:01.880 --> 04:10:03.920
Yeah, because it was just Grand Slam,

04:10:03.920 --> 04:10:06.920
Inglis seeing Ins completely in game two.

04:10:06.920 --> 04:10:09.120
The good news is that he cannot play Qiyana anymore,

04:10:09.120 --> 04:10:10.560
and Bin cannot play Rumble.

04:10:10.560 --> 04:10:12.560
So, they should get better, right?

04:10:12.560 --> 04:10:15.560
Shout out to Fjallus, big up Riot Games and all these boys.

04:10:15.560 --> 04:10:19.560
I'm really keeping the LPL strong by stopping Bin from playing Rumble again.

04:10:19.560 --> 04:10:20.560
We love to see it.

04:10:20.560 --> 04:10:24.560
Shout out to the meta that we have had so far as it gives everything open.

04:10:24.560 --> 04:10:28.560
BLG fights back, let's see if H.H.E.L.Y. can find an answer in game 3.

04:11:10.560 --> 04:11:18.560
The body was built to move, not trapped at a desk in one singular posture for 12 hours a day.

04:11:20.560 --> 04:11:26.560
It's time your chair evolved. This is Secret Lab Titan Evo.

04:11:27.560 --> 04:11:36.560
Ergonomically engineered for you, gamers, hybrid workers, artists, back in your every move.

04:11:40.560 --> 04:11:48.480
like this where star players shy and new legends step up where legacies of

04:11:48.480 --> 04:11:53.480
built and dreams he realized are risk-a-part.

04:11:53.480 --> 04:11:55.480
He shall not die!

04:11:55.480 --> 04:11:59.480
He shall not stand the plague of his bed-gullet!

04:11:59.480 --> 04:12:01.480
He shall not die!

04:12:01.480 --> 04:12:05.480
He shall not get real without his own doing so much work

04:12:05.480 --> 04:12:09.480
in every way that he's going to Easter!

04:12:48.480 --> 04:12:50.480
Let's go!

04:13:18.480 --> 04:13:18.980
Set!

04:13:18.980 --> 04:13:20.740
Send me hot water!

04:13:20.740 --> 04:13:21.640
Need this game!

04:13:21.640 --> 04:13:22.620
Chisoon!

04:13:28.260 --> 04:13:29.540
What is this?

04:13:29.540 --> 04:13:32.440
Shun, shun, shun, shun, shun, shun, shun, shun!

04:13:32.440 --> 04:13:33.680
Ahhhhh!

04:13:33.680 --> 04:13:37.600
Shun, shun, shun, shun, shun, shun, shun!

04:13:37.600 --> 04:13:39.300
Wooohooo!

04:13:40.020 --> 04:13:43.040
Shun, shun, shun, shun, shun, shun!

04:13:43.040 --> 04:13:45.220
Wooohooo!

04:13:45.220 --> 04:13:50.220
Now, we will give you a gift for the fans. Please give us a big hand!

04:13:50.220 --> 04:13:51.720
Woo!

04:13:51.720 --> 04:13:54.220
Now, let's meet again. Are you ready?

04:13:54.220 --> 04:13:54.720
Yes.

04:13:54.720 --> 04:13:56.220
Are you ready, BNG?

04:13:56.220 --> 04:13:57.220
Okay!

04:13:57.220 --> 04:13:58.720
Now, let's go.

04:13:58.720 --> 04:13:59.720
Give us the question.

04:14:07.220 --> 04:14:10.220
Lion, lion, lion, lion, lion, lion, lion, lion, lion!

04:14:10.220 --> 04:14:11.700
it ...

04:14:11.880 --> 04:14:13.000
WOW!!!

04:14:23.680 --> 04:14:25.200
This trick is exhausted !

04:14:25.200 --> 04:14:26.660
Please end it !

04:14:28.180 --> 04:14:30.160
Let me try againик

04:14:30.520 --> 04:14:31.120
Are you ready ?

04:14:31.420 --> 04:14:31.720
Yes !

04:14:31.720 --> 04:14:32.900
Ok, Let's go !

04:14:33.480 --> 04:14:34.480
I'll try

04:14:34.540 --> 04:14:35.980
Give me Tesla dude !

04:14:36.920 --> 04:14:37.720
What to do ?

04:14:38.360 --> 04:14:39.780
it's very intense..

04:14:39.780 --> 04:14:41.780
We won!

04:14:41.780 --> 04:14:43.780
Cheers! Cheers! Cheers!

04:14:43.780 --> 04:14:45.780
Chaka! Chaka! Chaka!

04:14:45.780 --> 04:14:47.780
What's up!

04:14:47.780 --> 04:14:49.780
Cheers! Cheers! Cheers!

04:14:49.780 --> 04:14:51.780
Chaka! Chaka! Chaka!

04:14:51.780 --> 04:14:53.780
Chaka! Chaka!

04:14:53.780 --> 04:14:55.780
Cheers! Chaka!

04:14:55.780 --> 04:14:57.780
So hard!

04:14:57.780 --> 04:14:59.780
Well done!

04:14:59.780 --> 04:15:01.780
Congratulations!

04:15:01.780 --> 04:15:05.780
Now we will go back to the 30th set!

04:15:05.780 --> 04:15:06.780
Help!

04:15:06.780 --> 04:15:07.780
The Lord of the World!

04:15:07.780 --> 04:15:08.780
Put it to sale!

04:15:08.780 --> 04:15:09.780
Oh!

04:15:09.780 --> 04:15:10.780
Second!

04:15:10.780 --> 04:15:35.580
Finds an angle here towards this topside of Shun, waiting in that brush.

04:15:35.580 --> 04:15:40.580
And Delight, wanting to get on top of him, churned down to 50% looking for a turn-in.

04:15:40.580 --> 04:15:45.080
His conditions in trouble, Spritz plays down. He at least gets the ulti off, but he's gonna go down.

04:15:45.080 --> 04:15:51.880
Viper finds the angle under his form and support, and Sayas trying to deal with four people here in this top lane is on his marking.

04:15:51.880 --> 04:15:59.280
The rest of the targets, it's a double for Viper, and BLG have found their moment. They found the team fight.

04:15:59.280 --> 04:16:04.880
All tied up back and forth just how you'd want it at the MSI finals.

04:16:05.580 --> 04:16:15.580
of the game. Welcome back,

04:16:15.580 --> 04:16:17.580
ladies and gentlemen is a tied

04:16:17.580 --> 04:16:19.580
up series here for the MSI

04:16:19.580 --> 04:16:21.580
finals for 2026, and we'll see

04:16:21.580 --> 04:16:23.580
who can reach match point after

04:16:23.580 --> 04:16:26.580
this game three. I mean, with

04:16:26.580 --> 04:16:28.580
the last one, too, we had a lot

04:16:28.580 --> 04:16:31.580
of variants. I would say so.

04:16:31.580 --> 04:16:33.580
Individual players. I mean,

04:16:33.580 --> 04:16:35.500
where we are off the screen and you're like,

04:16:35.500 --> 04:16:39.780
well, do you lose your Keanu card when you leave the LPL?

04:16:39.780 --> 04:16:41.100
Yes, you definitely do.

04:16:41.100 --> 04:16:42.100
It kind of looked like it.

04:16:42.100 --> 04:16:44.500
Unfortunately, you get the LCK Keanu card,

04:16:44.500 --> 04:16:48.060
which has not ever been all that good.

04:16:48.060 --> 04:16:48.340
It's OK.

04:16:48.340 --> 04:16:49.380
We're going to give him a pass.

04:16:49.380 --> 04:16:50.740
He's had some really good games.

04:16:50.740 --> 04:16:51.260
Yep.

04:16:51.260 --> 04:16:51.620
You know what?

04:16:51.620 --> 04:16:53.700
We're never going to see him play it again this series.

04:16:53.700 --> 04:16:54.300
That's beautiful.

04:16:54.300 --> 04:16:55.660
That is the case.

04:16:55.660 --> 04:16:57.740
So at least there is that.

04:16:57.740 --> 04:16:58.940
But I think that that was definitely

04:16:58.940 --> 04:17:00.140
a bit of a thorn in their side.

04:17:00.140 --> 04:17:03.340
I think he may have had a little too much hubris in that game.

04:17:03.340 --> 04:17:07.020
And once again, I always liked Sean on the Shen.

04:17:07.020 --> 04:17:09.220
I thought he had a really good performance again,

04:17:09.220 --> 04:17:13.220
you know, having a big effect as far as the support comparisons

04:17:13.220 --> 04:17:14.820
that we have had in controlling the map

04:17:14.820 --> 04:17:16.260
and controlling the other lanes.

04:17:16.260 --> 04:17:18.780
And they kept the knight in a very good position

04:17:18.780 --> 04:17:21.020
until knight was able to take over again.

04:17:21.020 --> 04:17:22.700
And I really like their draft just in general.

04:17:22.700 --> 04:17:25.900
I just think, yes, he had some OOBSs,

04:17:25.900 --> 04:17:28.100
but at the same time, I feel like compositionally,

04:17:28.100 --> 04:17:29.780
it was very, very difficult with Niasmo,

04:17:29.780 --> 04:17:31.700
with Shen Ta, with the CC from the Jarvan.

04:17:31.700 --> 04:17:33.060
You're playing a very squishy character.

04:17:33.060 --> 04:17:35.820
if you get caught at all, you just die.

04:17:35.820 --> 04:17:37.620
And so I feel like they thought,

04:17:37.620 --> 04:17:39.060
hey, we're probably gonna get outscaled.

04:17:39.060 --> 04:17:40.900
So you kind of just keep sending them, right?

04:17:40.900 --> 04:17:42.620
You know, you don't like have much recourse.

04:17:42.620 --> 04:17:43.700
They were losing all the dragon.

04:17:43.700 --> 04:17:46.080
They had to just try to fight their way out.

04:17:46.080 --> 04:17:47.020
It did not work.

04:17:47.020 --> 04:17:50.340
BLG looked more cohesive for sure.

04:17:50.340 --> 04:17:53.180
Vayne remaining on the bands and an early Syndra band

04:17:53.180 --> 04:17:55.140
with that gnar are gonna give you the response

04:17:55.140 --> 04:17:57.180
as soon as that Vayne was down.

04:17:57.180 --> 04:17:59.420
So I feel like I at least personally have a lot,

04:17:59.420 --> 04:18:02.260
a pretty high rise priority, especially with the Syndra band.

04:18:02.260 --> 04:18:04.780
A lot of people have been playing it into it.

04:18:04.780 --> 04:18:06.220
I mean, it's a very good, you know,

04:18:06.220 --> 04:18:07.860
flex band versus DOG in general.

04:18:07.860 --> 04:18:09.220
That's why they keep on doing it,

04:18:09.220 --> 04:18:12.060
but it also does even raise more priority on the rise.

04:18:12.060 --> 04:18:13.420
Yeah, I think rise can be really good.

04:18:13.420 --> 04:18:14.900
You know, we'll see what else gets banned out,

04:18:14.900 --> 04:18:16.300
but if someone does go rise,

04:18:16.300 --> 04:18:19.140
I do always like any Wukong or any Pantheon,

04:18:19.140 --> 04:18:20.300
kind of like aggressive answers

04:18:20.300 --> 04:18:21.460
allow you to really, you know,

04:18:21.460 --> 04:18:24.140
start fights attack pretty heavily in that region too.

04:18:24.140 --> 04:18:26.580
Yeah, you can go with any route or the Taliyah route.

04:18:26.580 --> 04:18:28.460
I feel like the other two good answers

04:18:28.460 --> 04:18:29.700
into it still up right now.

04:18:29.700 --> 04:18:31.900
Yeah, I feel like the Taliyah has started

04:18:31.900 --> 04:18:38.300
becoming a popular option into it. I feel like Annie has found not all that much success so far this MSI.

04:18:38.300 --> 04:18:43.900
This last ban, I think, should go over to the Vibe because then you'd be contesting Vi or Rise for that first pick.

04:18:43.900 --> 04:18:52.100
But the Pantheon will be taken away instead, and will PLG just leave both of them up and take whatever is not taken here by HLE?

04:18:52.100 --> 04:18:56.900
Yeah, exactly. You could go for a trade, and I mean, there is still Nocturne up and available as well.

04:18:56.900 --> 04:19:01.300
If you want to use that to kind of counter-place, I'm looking at having that pressure as well.

04:19:01.900 --> 04:19:05.740
Yeah, let's see cuz then I guess yeah if you go over the rise and you go like to lia and vi

04:19:06.160 --> 04:19:08.160
Combination and you have one click set up to

04:19:09.500 --> 04:19:12.540
A lot of discussion though. Yeah, let's air it out

04:19:12.540 --> 04:19:17.820
Okay, but I just gonna be banned away that I want to take that risk and obviously was pretty powerful on that champion last time

04:19:17.820 --> 04:19:23.300
And so the rise is going to be freely picked up the anivia still up and available, but no Cassiopeia for the counter

04:19:23.300 --> 04:19:29.240
Hey, you can go report the anivia you can go any answer that some players do really enjoy

04:19:29.240 --> 04:19:37.240
There is also some players are really a fan of Nocturne plus Aurora and those types of kind of like aggressive angles

04:19:37.240 --> 04:19:41.240
because Nocturne obviously is still up and available even though Ori is gone.

04:19:41.240 --> 04:19:47.240
Varus the champion that has been receiving a lot of bans can still work as poke Varus can work pretty well as on hit

04:19:47.240 --> 04:19:52.240
and does have a possibility to be flexed up to the top lane but we haven't really been seeing much of them as I.

04:19:52.240 --> 04:19:57.240
Not so much anymore. One more pick to come through from Shun and the Nocturne going to be picked up.

04:19:57.240 --> 04:20:03.840
you were talking about the aria on the aurora nocturne and you don't need to worry about aurora being picked in theory unless

04:20:03.840 --> 04:20:05.040
They're just gonna play that top lane

04:20:05.040 --> 04:20:10.760
And I just also like nocturne in general for later in the game to versus rise because rise is always looking to get some

04:20:10.760 --> 04:20:15.320
Spliplish advantage link and realm warp first and stuff that nocturne's always gonna keep them in check of it

04:20:15.680 --> 04:20:19.360
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised at all if they decide to go for that aurora

04:20:20.120 --> 04:20:25.120
Can be a little bit tougher in that 1v1, but they're just expecting dive right you're seeing nocturne

04:20:25.120 --> 04:20:30.580
You're expecting there to be dive drafter alongside it if you are gonna see Zyra come on then maybe that just waits them a

04:20:30.580 --> 04:20:35.120
Little bit, but the thing is nocturne doesn't really have a backup plan like you know you you all to go in

04:20:35.120 --> 04:20:37.120
That's really all there is to it. So

04:20:37.800 --> 04:20:42.960
Any another option we discussed about you know any wukong any pantheon those kind of angles

04:20:43.480 --> 04:20:47.600
And they might just go any nocturne as well. It's a similar principle to the aurora

04:20:47.600 --> 04:20:49.960
I think it is a bit better in the one you want to get to the rise

04:20:49.960 --> 04:20:53.840
But you turn off the lights you come from a surprising angle all of a sudden timbers on your head

04:20:53.840 --> 04:20:56.840
Exactly. It has effectiveness in these team fights, you know.

04:20:56.840 --> 04:21:02.840
You can get into a very good position there for a split second, and sometimes you can just beat out the Zaya,

04:21:02.840 --> 04:21:05.840
and, you know, burst her before she has a chance to react.

04:21:05.840 --> 04:21:08.840
Yeah, now, it's one thing that I kind of forgot about, Annie. This is also Knight's, Annie.

04:21:08.840 --> 04:21:12.840
This guy has been ridiculous on this champion throughout his entire career,

04:21:12.840 --> 04:21:17.840
and so maybe he is going to be the difference maker. It didn't work for Zeko when he was facing off against him,

04:21:17.840 --> 04:21:20.840
but Knight, he's going to be the one piloting her this time.

04:21:20.840 --> 04:21:26.220
That was his most played in the uphill. I don't think he's played yet at MSI, so he's going to be bringing that out.

04:21:26.220 --> 04:21:30.840
The other thing you always have to remember with Nocturne vs. Zaya, obviously Zaya great at absorbing the dive,

04:21:30.840 --> 04:21:34.640
but when the fear tether is on you and you go up in the air, the fear tether does not break.

04:21:34.640 --> 04:21:40.840
You get feared as you come down, which can make things pretty difficult thereafter for the rest of the fight.

04:21:41.840 --> 04:21:43.440
Not having to worry about it, yeah.

04:21:43.440 --> 04:21:45.040
Because they don't want to get poked out.

04:21:45.040 --> 04:21:49.840
Yeah, and also not having to worry about the cataclysm is going to be a good thing here as well for Zaya.

04:21:49.840 --> 04:21:53.280
Gumiichi has been pretty phenomenal on this champion.

04:21:53.280 --> 04:21:54.640
I think if you're going to be banning Xervenin,

04:21:54.640 --> 04:21:56.080
then you also kind of have to ban Niko.

04:21:56.080 --> 04:21:58.240
I feel like Niko does kind of fit the theme of what

04:21:58.240 --> 04:21:59.640
BLG is going for in your life.

04:21:59.640 --> 04:22:00.360
Niko not to end pretty strong?

04:22:00.360 --> 04:22:01.120
Yeah, exactly.

04:22:01.120 --> 04:22:03.520
And Niko plus Ferris is a strong 2v2.

04:22:03.520 --> 04:22:05.400
So that would kind of be my expected ban.

04:22:05.400 --> 04:22:08.200
The Trundle does make me think that ban is considering

04:22:08.200 --> 04:22:10.200
the top lane tank to go alongside this.

04:22:10.200 --> 04:22:12.520
And instead, they're going to ban the Lulu.

04:22:12.520 --> 04:22:15.760
So I would expect that we would get a Niko.

04:22:15.760 --> 04:22:18.360
It's interesting that they are more worried about those potential

04:22:18.360 --> 04:22:27.360
Maybe they're readers that it's going to be on hit there, and that sort of style, but I feel like there's not really anyone tanky on the other side yet, so you could just play that safer.

04:22:27.360 --> 04:22:35.360
Pope Ferris with Nico, play for the 2v2 dominance, Nico plus Nocturne plus Annie, very, very good engage, very good burst.

04:22:35.360 --> 04:22:43.360
Alright, and maybe Zess is thinking that he wants to play a melee carry too, and they don't want to do a little polymorph either for some of these teamfights.

04:22:43.360 --> 04:22:44.360
Okay.

04:22:44.360 --> 04:22:48.120
That's just going to be an Alistar locked in here for An, a lot more playmaking available

04:22:48.120 --> 04:22:49.120
to him as well.

04:22:49.120 --> 04:22:53.120
How's the blind Silas top?

04:22:53.120 --> 04:22:56.720
I think for Samus, it could be an angle.

04:22:56.720 --> 04:23:01.320
Every time I see the Alistar, I just assume that we're looking for a Silas angle.

04:23:01.320 --> 04:23:03.760
But the Olaf is a consideration here.

04:23:03.760 --> 04:23:07.560
Yeah, Olaf when you're looking over at what they have, you know, could be potentially

04:23:07.560 --> 04:23:13.340
strong but of course a lot more risk associated with it since Alistar often available.

04:23:13.340 --> 04:23:17.020
good at absorbing a lot of this engage with the pressing guard, making it difficult to actually

04:23:17.020 --> 04:23:22.460
fight through him to reach that backline as they are obviously going to be trying to dive in on to

04:23:23.660 --> 04:23:29.420
Is it just a Sion? That's what I'm trying to figure out. I think it's possible. I think that

04:23:29.420 --> 04:23:35.820
Bindethly is considering going towards tank with the Trumbleman. Well, finding our time here,

04:23:35.820 --> 04:23:40.780
waiting to see what's Ace is going to play and that Olaf comes back once again and will be locked

04:23:40.780 --> 04:23:45.260
Alright, what has been have for us as an answer to the Viking?

04:23:47.300 --> 04:23:52.820
They like you just pop with a counter strike and you're able to absorb so much of that right you just leave the counter strike running full

04:23:52.900 --> 04:23:59.460
Also, I think the jacks is better versus the Zinn too. You know if jungles gonna be up there and ganking you

04:23:59.460 --> 04:24:07.580
It is very very good. You know obviously the dodging auto attacks and you're always thinking about the top and jungle duo

04:24:07.580 --> 04:24:11.340
because they're probably going to force force up there when you do pick the

04:24:11.340 --> 04:24:15.060
Olaf and you want the Olaf carry Jackson not that meta these days but we

04:24:15.060 --> 04:24:21.260
think of Ben you pick a Jack I also think of when but that's from small

04:24:21.260 --> 04:24:25.100
wounds but might come back sometime in this series as well we have seen

04:24:25.100 --> 04:24:30.200
sprinklings of Gwen so far some people think the game playing you know

04:24:30.200 --> 04:24:32.200
Some people might have a job, but...

04:24:33.200 --> 04:24:38.200
Bin has definitely done some stuff throughout his career so far, but those are your drafts.

04:24:38.200 --> 04:24:44.200
A blind Olaf from Zaeus, going to be punished by the Jax here towards this top side of the map.

04:24:44.200 --> 04:24:47.200
And Bin so far hasn't necessarily had the most fun in lane.

04:24:47.200 --> 04:24:52.200
I think the Renekton did a pretty good job, but outside of that, Zaeus did manage to get the upper hand.

04:24:52.200 --> 04:24:54.200
This time, it might be the Bin show.

04:24:54.200 --> 04:24:57.200
It is so interesting that the blind Olaf has come in a couple of times now.

04:24:57.200 --> 04:25:00.560
and also played it in their series against G2.

04:25:00.560 --> 04:25:03.680
Not a pick that you pretty much ever see blinded in pro play,

04:25:03.680 --> 04:25:06.640
but it has now come out twice from the LCK teams.

04:25:06.640 --> 04:25:09.240
And I do think when you are going up against this Jax,

04:25:09.240 --> 04:25:12.080
as the Olaf pressure is on you to make things happen early,

04:25:12.080 --> 04:25:14.280
the counter strike obviously is a fantastic tool

04:25:14.280 --> 04:25:15.120
to deal with it.

04:25:15.120 --> 04:25:16.960
But if you can force that counter strike out,

04:25:16.960 --> 04:25:19.160
there are opportunities to potentially look for that all

04:25:19.160 --> 04:25:19.800
in.

04:25:19.800 --> 04:25:22.040
But if you do not make that happen,

04:25:22.040 --> 04:25:24.280
Jax is going to become very difficult to deal with.

04:25:24.280 --> 04:25:25.800
And Ben, it's even going at night.

04:25:25.800 --> 04:25:27.600
So this is going to be a spicy topping.

04:25:27.600 --> 04:25:29.200
And Tennis is not playing flash.

04:25:29.200 --> 04:25:32.080
So it's actually been with the WCMX on their advantage.

04:25:32.080 --> 04:25:34.280
It is just those two people here from Zayas.

04:25:34.280 --> 04:25:36.600
So a much more conservative approach

04:25:36.600 --> 04:25:38.960
where Ben is going to be looking to actually just try

04:25:38.960 --> 04:25:41.360
to dominate that 1v1.

04:25:41.360 --> 04:25:43.680
That is very frightening here for Zayas.

04:25:43.680 --> 04:25:45.560
See whether he can actually play defensively

04:25:45.560 --> 04:25:48.360
as the rest of BLG, wondering when they can go in

04:25:48.360 --> 04:25:49.400
to clear out this vision.

04:25:49.400 --> 04:25:52.520
HLE do get information about the three people moving over.

04:25:52.520 --> 04:25:54.680
And again, if you're looking to dominate the top lane,

04:25:54.680 --> 04:25:56.000
We need to dominate Jungle.

04:25:56.000 --> 04:25:58.520
Yeah, Zeca waiting for his moment to make his way in,

04:25:58.520 --> 04:26:00.880
as Kanavi still wants to get back through.

04:26:00.880 --> 04:26:03.680
There's the flash out of the counter strike.

04:26:03.680 --> 04:26:07.160
And already, things not going HLE's way.

04:26:07.160 --> 04:26:09.760
Jungle dominated Atlas.

04:26:09.760 --> 04:26:12.920
They push him out on the Raptors, not going to so good

04:26:12.920 --> 04:26:13.760
at doing that.

04:26:13.760 --> 04:26:17.520
And the full support of BLG in their efforts

04:26:17.520 --> 04:26:21.680
splits the map for the Flash Ignite Jax here,

04:26:21.680 --> 04:26:24.680
really trying to get advantage after advantage

04:26:24.680 --> 04:26:28.520
and keep the Olaf on low economy in this game.

04:26:28.520 --> 04:26:30.120
And honestly, I'm kind of surprised that HLE

04:26:30.120 --> 04:26:31.120
even tried to contest it.

04:26:31.120 --> 04:26:33.280
When Amy walks in with a prep stun,

04:26:33.280 --> 04:26:35.200
Nocturne is incredible on the Raptors,

04:26:35.200 --> 04:26:37.160
and you have a Knight Jax that has Counter Strike

04:26:37.160 --> 04:26:38.000
at level one.

04:26:38.000 --> 04:26:41.400
That is just a tough 3v3 to actually ever win out it.

04:26:41.400 --> 04:26:43.040
And, you know, as good as Zin is,

04:26:43.040 --> 04:26:45.400
you know, in kind of like fair duels with people,

04:26:45.400 --> 04:26:46.440
when you don't have Flash,

04:26:46.440 --> 04:26:48.040
it is easy to pick that champion.

04:26:48.040 --> 04:26:49.640
It's hard to make escapes.

04:26:49.640 --> 04:26:55.800
You have to have like enemy minions or jungle camps or something around to be able to dash to so you have to be a little bit careful

04:26:55.800 --> 04:27:02.060
If your opponent's trying to close some traps on you and on is kind of watching at the moments and maybe one of those traps

04:27:03.780 --> 04:27:08.680
Should making his way in the dust bringers going to connect as cannot he doesn't have flash remember from the earlier play

04:27:08.880 --> 04:27:11.680
And he'll be taken down the umbral blades

04:27:12.240 --> 04:27:15.880
Will take him out and the red buff going to be claimed there as well

04:27:15.880 --> 04:27:21.280
So it's camps on top of everything this nocturne is gonna be so big it is beautiful atlas

04:27:21.280 --> 04:27:26.640
I love the jungle game of chess and the trap snaps shut on

04:27:27.360 --> 04:27:34.000
Canavi they kill them they know with no flash I can easily come defend my bottom quadrant and

04:27:34.680 --> 04:27:39.080
On it makes the difference look at this. They've got vision

04:27:39.080 --> 04:27:43.800
They have everything you're playing right into their hands and shun took an early baseball boots

04:27:43.800 --> 04:27:47.760
So he could get out there even faster. So he's coming out of base with the boots

04:27:48.120 --> 04:27:52.240
Arrives through this fight and on like you said just sets it up beautifully

04:27:52.240 --> 04:27:56.720
Can obviously still level two against the level three Nocturne with boots with an Alistar no way out

04:27:56.720 --> 04:28:03.960
I'm telling you man on is my favorite support in the world. He plays so well for jungle and

04:28:05.000 --> 04:28:08.320
Feel it she they're gonna reap the rewards now you talk about shouldn't be in a head

04:28:08.320 --> 04:28:14.800
Nocturne a full level ahead and Nocturne stop side. Oh dear Zayasin a lot of trouble gets stunned up by the counter strike

04:28:14.800 --> 04:28:20.140
And in goes an Octane getting very scared as his Viking and then taken out

04:28:20.140 --> 04:28:25.680
And that is the danger of playing ghost TP. Yes, Ben did have to give up a big wave though for that

04:28:25.680 --> 04:28:28.400
He lost a lot of minions at that tower

04:28:29.080 --> 04:28:34.800
But they didn't even need the ignite to kill Zayasin Zayas realize this is not going to break the fear tether. Camp him! Camp him!

04:28:34.800 --> 04:28:39.920
Well, that's exactly what they're doing has been just gets back to work once again

04:28:40.560 --> 04:28:47.240
And this not gonna be able to get out of this one the ignite ticking down the fear tethers once more and the alcove

04:28:47.240 --> 04:28:51.360
Will not save you there as he falls a second time in a row

04:28:52.440 --> 04:28:58.080
Okay jungle diff. How do we measure the jungle difference in this game atlas?

04:28:58.080 --> 04:29:03.420
I don't think we have anything very long in the area 14 hour flight

04:29:04.800 --> 04:29:07.280
We'll use kilometers and miles.

04:29:07.280 --> 04:29:11.160
Man, that is tough. That is so tough.

04:29:11.160 --> 04:29:14.720
Oh, look at this minion wave just going by the wayside as well.

04:29:14.720 --> 04:29:18.720
I just love it. I mean, Ghost scales better for Olaf later on into the game.

04:29:18.720 --> 04:29:20.920
It is really, really valuable if you're going to go one or the other.

04:29:20.920 --> 04:29:24.400
You love having Ghost when you pop the Ragnarok, you're sprinting in.

04:29:24.400 --> 04:29:27.760
But if you do not have Flash, it is so hard to get away from these ganks.

04:29:27.760 --> 04:29:32.240
He can't break any of the fear tethers, and they just held the ignite for the repeat gank.

04:29:32.240 --> 04:29:34.200
Now, Ben already has his steel caps.

04:29:34.200 --> 04:29:36.360
He is off to the races in his physical damage.

04:29:36.360 --> 04:29:39.760
Auto attackers, both of those top-siders that could attack him.

04:29:39.760 --> 04:29:42.400
And Ben is just going to be in a dream scenario.

04:29:42.400 --> 04:29:46.280
I really want to compliment BLG for their game plans

04:29:46.280 --> 04:29:47.120
that they have shown.

04:29:47.120 --> 04:29:49.520
Because we always compliment them for their mechanics.

04:29:49.520 --> 04:29:51.840
And they're insane solo laners.

04:29:51.840 --> 04:29:54.040
But they have had really good game plans

04:29:54.040 --> 04:29:56.520
and executed on them very effectively

04:29:56.520 --> 04:29:58.400
to get a lot of their leads.

04:29:58.400 --> 04:30:00.480
And this is another very nice case of it.

04:30:00.480 --> 04:30:01.680
Mid lane is a scrap.

04:30:01.680 --> 04:30:06.680
Yeah, head up, Holmarize does come in, there's a double knockup from Delight though on this Rakan, gets the flash out of on

04:30:06.680 --> 04:30:12.180
and will be able to make his way out. And one thing does need to be mentioned, this is Delight signature champion, right?

04:30:12.180 --> 04:30:16.680
This Rakan is something he's really made magic on, even when he was on pro.

04:30:16.680 --> 04:30:22.180
This guy has been a phenomenal Rakan player. The problem is, he has to dig them out of this massive hole.

04:30:22.180 --> 04:30:24.680
Yeah, I mean, he can be an absolute game changer.

04:30:24.680 --> 04:30:31.180
Watching him on the Bloodscrank break the hearts of the LCS yesterday in that federal game five.

04:30:31.180 --> 04:30:45.180
This guy is crazy good on anything that can engage, anything that can go, he will find the angle, he will be able to turn around a fight, and he's going to have to in a game like this, as this is looking for a proxy angle.

04:30:45.180 --> 04:30:50.180
Yeah, he's just going to walk past the turret, doesn't take a turret shot, which is going to be very, very handy.

04:30:50.180 --> 04:30:53.620
and on making their way in to try and take Miss Dragon and they just steal it.

04:30:53.620 --> 04:30:58.740
The paranoia comes in, it's level 4 to level 6 in the jungle

04:30:58.740 --> 04:31:01.620
and Shun is going to chase the Rakan out of there.

04:31:01.620 --> 04:31:05.380
The Hail of Arrows will pierce Kenavi

04:31:05.380 --> 04:31:07.780
and Viper will just wander back to lane.

04:31:07.780 --> 04:31:12.980
Yep, and I'll have to check but I'm pretty sure it's also a smite upgrade difference.

04:31:12.980 --> 04:31:16.420
When you've got that much experience played and you've been countered,

04:31:16.420 --> 04:31:19.700
it is brutal man, jungle diff all the way.

04:31:19.700 --> 04:31:23.860
Oh, James Corruption just barely. Just need a little bit of an extra link in there.

04:31:23.860 --> 04:31:29.300
He would have been out of the lockdown, Gumiishi, before he gets that Feather Storm, but not to be this time around.

04:31:29.300 --> 04:31:35.220
And Zekar and Knight are fighting. Zekar dealing with a bear as well as the Annie, is that Pyroblast doing a lot of work.

04:31:35.220 --> 04:31:37.700
But no kills to happen just yet.

04:31:37.700 --> 04:31:41.540
I mean, that is just so devastating there, you know, for HLE.

04:31:41.540 --> 04:31:48.180
You're already behind, and then your way down experience, way down camps, you spend so much time trying to kill off this dragon.

04:31:48.180 --> 04:31:52.660
He comes in and it is that upgraded Swipe Diff that you're pulling out from 755.

04:31:52.660 --> 04:31:54.980
It's still that 600 Swipe over on the other side.

04:31:54.980 --> 04:31:57.780
He can't even contest it. It's not a 50-50.

04:31:57.780 --> 04:32:00.900
And then you waste all your time doing the Dragon.

04:32:00.900 --> 04:32:03.540
Lose your Flash. Don't get the Dragon. Die after.

04:32:03.540 --> 04:32:06.420
And you are just so far behind.

04:32:06.420 --> 04:32:11.060
This game is literally the poster for why the meta is jungle support, man.

04:32:11.060 --> 04:32:15.620
And you can really leverage so many advantages out of playing for jungle.

04:32:15.620 --> 04:32:36.060
These incremental breakpoints, smite upgrades, big levels, I mean, obviously a level 6 versus level 4 is just like, oh yeah, he's gonna beat two people over the head, but also, as you said, you invested all your work taking this dragon to low health and then he beats you up and takes your lunch money and they kill you too?

04:32:36.060 --> 04:32:41.540
Yeah, it could not get very much worse. It could not get very much worse. You saw there in our whole list of

04:32:42.340 --> 04:32:43.540
experience

04:32:43.540 --> 04:32:50.220
That was not a very fun one and having a look here the first time canadi has ever gone at 10 deaths in a game

04:32:50.380 --> 04:32:55.940
Yeah, that was previous game. So this game was what we'll see whether he can break the record

04:32:57.140 --> 04:33:00.740
Currently on the tube, but it is still very early days

04:33:00.740 --> 04:33:07.140
still I mean 1.7 K it's very early in the game so that is a large lead but as

04:33:07.140 --> 04:33:10.780
this game gets later it's going to mean less and there are late game win

04:33:10.780 --> 04:33:14.540
conditions here for HLE this time around I feel like as far as the draft is

04:33:14.540 --> 04:33:19.140
concerned it's not the same as game number two however BLG didn't get off to

04:33:19.140 --> 04:33:23.860
this kind of lead in game number two either so headbutt gets Kanabi out of

04:33:23.860 --> 04:33:26.620
there he's back over once again as a chance of corruption are going to come

04:33:26.620 --> 04:33:29.340
down by but they're not going to be able to hit him as Kanabi did manage to hit

04:33:29.340 --> 04:33:30.340
level 6.

04:33:30.340 --> 04:33:33.060
That guy's moving down so they're threatening to dive here.

04:33:33.060 --> 04:33:34.060
Yep.

04:33:34.060 --> 04:33:35.060
Delight.

04:33:35.060 --> 04:33:36.220
Only level 5 here, but should be able to get the knockup.

04:33:36.220 --> 04:33:38.020
Let's find it there onto the cow.

04:33:38.020 --> 04:33:41.380
They should be able to get this kill for the first one of the game and Gumiishi is the one

04:33:41.380 --> 04:33:42.380
to claim it.

04:33:42.380 --> 04:33:46.180
Kanami's definitely dead, but he's used to that so far this game.

04:33:46.180 --> 04:33:49.660
And so BLG, a 1 for 1 in that bottom lane, but plates to go over to Gumi could be a big

04:33:49.660 --> 04:33:50.660
deal.

04:33:50.660 --> 04:33:52.260
Honestly, I like the call from Mon.

04:33:52.260 --> 04:33:57.220
He's like, okay, yes, you guys do have the extra power here, but I will sacrifice myself

04:33:57.220 --> 04:34:00.660
under tower to make sure it's going to delay Kanabi even more.

04:34:00.660 --> 04:34:01.260
Viper?

04:34:01.260 --> 04:34:03.500
Yeah, there is the quickness towards that bottom side

04:34:03.500 --> 04:34:05.420
of the map as Delight gets himself out of there.

04:34:05.420 --> 04:34:08.500
Grimmy Ishii, he needs to finish this one up and he does too so.

04:34:08.500 --> 04:34:11.700
A one for one under the turret as a teleport gets Nidin,

04:34:11.700 --> 04:34:12.660
but a little bit late.

04:34:12.660 --> 04:34:15.020
Yeah, Goomit just never used his ult, so I was kind of surprised.

04:34:15.020 --> 04:34:17.780
Maybe he made the read that I'm dead no matter what,

04:34:17.780 --> 04:34:20.340
but it wasn't the read that I had from that position.

04:34:20.340 --> 04:34:23.140
I felt like he could have used the ult a little bit earlier

04:34:23.140 --> 04:34:25.620
and maybe being able to actually pull off an escape there

04:34:25.620 --> 04:34:30.680
After at the end of the day it is that one for one and Guma does create a nice little lead for himself

04:34:30.680 --> 04:34:34.920
But play forgot two kills in this series of plays as well. So even though he lost a lot of farm

04:34:34.920 --> 04:34:36.920
He's not as far down as you think should have

04:34:37.640 --> 04:34:44.320
He's got a blast going to work with oh dear. Can I beat this time is going to back away and the Sentinel loses his patience

04:34:45.320 --> 04:34:49.160
Let's see whether this rise can make a difference up there is in the meantime. We've got another battle

04:34:49.800 --> 04:34:52.960
And that is just going to be the secure by shun

04:34:52.960 --> 04:34:59.240
dominating in this jungle match-up still as Zekka makes his way back towards this mid lane, not going to find an angle towards

04:34:59.240 --> 04:35:06.680
Bin on the top side of the map. One good bit of information here is that Zayas is really being able to close the gap towards that top side as far as farm.

04:35:06.680 --> 04:35:10.820
It is still a thousand gold, but the early lap hasn't been zoned away from everything.

04:35:10.820 --> 04:35:16.960
That is one good bit of information, but if you're a BLG fan, there's a lot of bits of good information, you know?

04:35:16.960 --> 04:35:23.680
There's an entire bunch of good information. Take your choice. You can look here. Oh, that's nice. Oh, that looks pretty good over there.

04:35:24.120 --> 04:35:27.160
Yeah, personally, I'll start with the title page.

04:35:27.400 --> 04:35:34.480
That is our nocturne that has a 1.5k gold lead and look at that. The Hextech plate right there.

04:35:34.480 --> 04:35:39.080
So those nocturne ultimates are gonna be fired off very very quickly.

04:35:39.080 --> 04:35:42.520
Canavi's got a tunnel, huh? Yeah, and now a little hammer as well.

04:35:42.520 --> 04:35:44.520
He definitely can.

04:35:44.520 --> 04:35:46.520
Putt all into the ground and hide.

04:35:46.520 --> 04:35:51.520
The Coinbase gold grind comes in. That is going to be the cleanse to get out of the chains of corruption as Nites moving in.

04:35:51.520 --> 04:35:54.520
Bear lands on top of Deli, but he's not dead just yet.

04:35:54.520 --> 04:35:57.520
Just barely even getting himself out of the way as a teleport.

04:35:57.520 --> 04:36:04.520
Flies on through, Zayas turns up, takes the 50 golds, he kills the bear, and it will just wander up the river.

04:36:04.520 --> 04:36:08.520
I thought he was dead to right, so I think he could have finished him with an auto attack maybe even,

04:36:08.520 --> 04:36:10.720
but thought he was dead for sure to the tippers.

04:36:10.720 --> 04:36:13.400
Does not finish him off, so Delight does escape,

04:36:13.400 --> 04:36:16.080
but this means free time for Ben on the top side.

04:36:16.080 --> 04:36:17.880
You can see Zeke is moving up there to try to answer,

04:36:17.880 --> 04:36:19.240
but Ben is farming plates.

04:36:19.240 --> 04:36:20.640
Not going to hold for Dragon maybe?

04:36:20.640 --> 04:36:21.880
Do they see them?

04:36:21.880 --> 04:36:25.040
Oh, they're not going to contest the Dragon right now.

04:36:25.040 --> 04:36:27.400
Oh, he's going to be secured.

04:36:27.400 --> 04:36:29.080
All right, so HLE on the board,

04:36:29.080 --> 04:36:30.280
as far as the Drake's are concerned,

04:36:30.280 --> 04:36:35.240
a second Ocean Soul this series, back to back here.

04:36:35.240 --> 04:36:37.400
But it was pretty important in the last game,

04:36:37.400 --> 04:36:41.400
So I hope that HLE are able to give it a little bit more priority this time around.

04:36:41.400 --> 04:36:46.400
Well, they got one of the early dragons, so they're in a much better spot already for delaying that soul.

04:36:46.400 --> 04:36:48.400
But the triple grubs we never really talked about.

04:36:48.400 --> 04:36:52.400
Shun was able to trade a play on topside when they were going for all those bot lane shenanigans looking for those dives.

04:36:52.400 --> 04:36:53.400
So he got all three grubs.

04:36:53.400 --> 04:36:55.400
Ben has a winning sideline.

04:36:55.400 --> 04:37:00.400
You have this Jax who is going to be set up for success in the 1v1 later on in the game anyway,

04:37:00.400 --> 04:37:01.400
now enabled by those grubs.

04:37:01.400 --> 04:37:04.400
And that is just going to make things even more difficult.

04:37:04.400 --> 04:37:06.400
But Guma and Delight feel like the hope right now.

04:37:06.400 --> 04:37:12.400
Oh, no, only level 5 here for Oniz. He has to flash to get out of the way with the grand entrance, and that is going to be a dead cow.

04:37:12.400 --> 04:37:19.400
Mincemeat on the ref, because HLE will try and get another play, but they run out of minions, and behind the turret goes Gumiishi.

04:37:19.400 --> 04:37:23.400
At least the bottom side is going well here for Hummellife Esports.

04:37:23.400 --> 04:37:31.400
Yeah, Atlas, some support experience difference there. Having the ult there, the charm from Delight, it's easy to pick up the killer and they're on,

04:37:31.400 --> 04:37:37.000
on and they also get his flash and a bunch of extra money in the Gumbaz, Zyra.

04:37:37.000 --> 04:37:42.440
Okay, so Ulti's traded here towards the topside but Ghost's gonna be used from Zas as well.

04:37:42.440 --> 04:37:44.720
Flash ignite still up for Bin as Shun.

04:37:44.720 --> 04:37:45.720
They wanna fight this.

04:37:45.720 --> 04:37:47.220
Yeah, he's on this red buff.

04:37:47.220 --> 04:37:52.720
Not be kind of sick of giving these away but he's nowhere near and Zas gonna have to wander

04:37:52.720 --> 04:37:56.120
on over, eat some honey fruit before he gets there as the turret is taken towards his bottom

04:37:56.120 --> 04:37:57.120
side.

04:37:57.120 --> 04:38:01.840
And it is once again, in Gumi-Yushi, we trust on the HLE side.

04:38:01.840 --> 04:38:03.320
I feel like it's a good place to trust.

04:38:03.320 --> 04:38:04.760
I thought he had a really good zigz game,

04:38:04.760 --> 04:38:06.040
and now he is so far ahead.

04:38:06.040 --> 04:38:08.360
Headbutt back under the lamp and battle dance towards ZAIS

04:38:08.360 --> 04:38:10.360
will be able to nullify all of that.

04:38:10.360 --> 04:38:13.000
I mean, holy, he's got two items at 13 minutes.

04:38:13.000 --> 04:38:15.800
Gumi is ridiculously fed, and Viper has been getting starred

04:38:15.800 --> 04:38:18.320
because Viper, you know, to no real fault of his own,

04:38:18.320 --> 04:38:20.640
has just been getting zoned off the tower constantly

04:38:20.640 --> 04:38:22.480
by good play from HLEs.

04:38:22.480 --> 04:38:24.200
Zecca threatening Roams cannot be realizing,

04:38:24.200 --> 04:38:25.680
all right, the game's not about me.

04:38:25.680 --> 04:38:26.840
I'm not going to go to the farm.

04:38:26.840 --> 04:38:31.440
I'm going bot, I'm playing for Gooma, and that is the right choice in a game like this.

04:38:31.440 --> 04:38:34.640
You can't just sit back and try to farm, because Shun is going to push you off everything.

04:38:34.640 --> 04:38:40.840
You have to find a win condition, and HLE have done that now, with Gooma being hugely fed.

04:38:40.840 --> 04:38:45.340
Ah, so his bin's really frightening as well, though. He's moved up to a 1.3k gold advantage.

04:38:45.340 --> 04:38:50.840
It's pretty close to what Gooma has on the other side, but they also have an extraordinarily fair jungler.

04:38:50.840 --> 04:38:56.540
And the BLG gold lead has fallen down to about 700, but I do feel like that game plan that you guys are talking about,

04:38:56.540 --> 04:39:01.420
what they've been playing around so so well so far this MSI to be perfectly

04:39:01.420 --> 04:39:06.780
honest is still well and truly moving towards later in the game yeah we need

04:39:06.780 --> 04:39:11.300
to see if shun can actually like really win these sidelines even more you know if

04:39:11.300 --> 04:39:14.540
they're able to get to the next stage of the game which is when outer towers

04:39:14.540 --> 04:39:17.900
start dropping they're fairly low right now in the sidelines and the first one

04:39:17.900 --> 04:39:22.260
already taken on the bottom side but when you start to open up that map if the

04:39:22.260 --> 04:39:27.980
Nocturne does not put the influence of this lead into effect in the midgame.

04:39:27.980 --> 04:39:32.600
Then you give a lot of room for HLE and Guma to retake control.

04:39:32.600 --> 04:39:33.800
Yeah, I completely agree.

04:39:33.800 --> 04:39:36.020
I mean, they really want to get those outer towers down

04:39:36.020 --> 04:39:38.380
because you make it a long lane for Xeas or Zekka,

04:39:38.380 --> 04:39:42.260
and you're up against the strong Zaks and the threat of that Nocturne,

04:39:42.260 --> 04:39:44.420
and all of a sudden it becomes pretty easy to chase you down.

04:39:44.420 --> 04:39:47.780
With that tower behind them, these aren't easy characters to actually kill off.

04:39:47.780 --> 04:39:48.860
They're relatively tanky.

04:39:48.860 --> 04:39:50.660
They have the ability to survive and escape,

04:39:50.660 --> 04:39:56.540
They are playing it defensively because they know the game is not about us right now. It is about Guma

04:39:56.540 --> 04:40:04.020
That's where the action is going to be for HLE and if you are Zayas or Zeca your job is survive farm clear waves and scale

04:40:04.020 --> 04:40:04.460
Yep

04:40:04.460 --> 04:40:06.300
Zayas does have a strike breaker as well

04:40:06.300 --> 04:40:12.020
Which as we just saw in that last exchange use it when he leaps onto you and then you can walk out of the counter strike a little bit

04:40:12.020 --> 04:40:14.140
More effectively you mentioned Isaac that

04:40:14.700 --> 04:40:18.860
Making sure you keep up the counter strike is very important into the Olaf

04:40:18.860 --> 04:40:21.860
So if he ends it early, that's also a good thing.

04:40:21.860 --> 04:40:24.900
And so this try-breaker going to be very, very helpful here

04:40:24.900 --> 04:40:27.620
for Zess in this matchup.

04:40:27.620 --> 04:40:29.980
The stun's obviously always great from the counter strike.

04:40:29.980 --> 04:40:32.780
But in these auto-attack-based matchups,

04:40:32.780 --> 04:40:34.740
just letting it run full against champions

04:40:34.740 --> 04:40:39.260
like Xin Zhao and Olaf, it just cuts their damage down so heavily.

04:40:39.260 --> 04:40:40.620
It makes it very, very difficult.

04:40:40.620 --> 04:40:43.100
BLG trying to force around this Herald here.

04:40:43.100 --> 04:40:45.300
Kuma though, as we said, has these two items.

04:40:45.300 --> 04:40:47.660
And Delight has exhaust ready, has a locket ready.

04:40:47.660 --> 04:40:53.260
they have tools to keep Gumo protected that he has been poked a bit by Piper and I think that's going to make them just give it up

04:40:53.580 --> 04:40:58.340
Yeah, Zeckler was thinking about moving from that top side of the map. They are just going to give it up

04:40:59.060 --> 04:41:05.440
And a bit of a fadeaway arrow there to help shine out as he picks up the eye this nocturne still running the rift right now

04:41:06.140 --> 04:41:13.820
with one of the largest individual leads on it and in fact his individual lead is actually the BLG advantage as

04:41:13.820 --> 04:41:18.660
as Ben and Grumiusia kind of canceling each other out right now.

04:41:18.660 --> 04:41:20.540
Yeah, we got a comparison.

04:41:20.540 --> 04:41:23.420
Top side of the map versus bottom side of the map.

04:41:23.420 --> 04:41:26.660
And if you can land some poke image ahead of time onto Guma,

04:41:26.660 --> 04:41:28.940
then they can really put the pressure to him.

04:41:28.940 --> 04:41:30.900
He is running, of course, to cleanse with his flash

04:41:30.900 --> 04:41:34.820
and his ultimate, so it has a lot of buttons still too pressed.

04:41:34.820 --> 04:41:38.380
But even if one spell lands, it gets kind of dangerous.

04:41:38.380 --> 04:41:42.060
Well, the Rift Herald, bit of a battle herald here for BLG.

04:41:42.060 --> 04:41:48.420
They'd like to grab this second dragon for themselves as in goes on could be a knock-up into a pulverize

04:41:49.260 --> 04:41:51.200
Shelly is avoided quite well

04:41:51.200 --> 04:41:53.940
It's only Zayas that gets put up towards the sky

04:41:53.940 --> 04:41:59.000
But in that it is going to be the great secure by shown immediately though Viper just dies the quickness

04:41:59.220 --> 04:42:03.660
To grab should at the same time as he has to flash to get out of the way the LG

04:42:03.660 --> 04:42:09.120
They only sacrificed one though and getting that second Drake a pretty big deal. Yeah, there's a big deal grabbing that second Drake

04:42:09.120 --> 04:42:13.620
Oh, oh, Kanavi, trying to get a little bit scared here in this brush, but no,

04:42:13.620 --> 04:42:16.120
he's able to break the Tether just in time.

04:42:16.620 --> 04:42:20.620
Shunned down a 50% commuter, she may be in a little bit of trouble as the bear drops from the sky.

04:42:20.620 --> 04:42:24.620
There's an Australian quite aware of that, as now Kanavi moving on over, the bear falls down,

04:42:24.620 --> 04:42:28.620
and BLG do back away for defense finishes.

04:42:28.620 --> 04:42:30.620
Ben does get that tower down on the bot side.

04:42:30.620 --> 04:42:33.120
I was pretty surprised by where Knight actually TP'd.

04:42:33.120 --> 04:42:36.620
He TP'd straight to the mid lane tower when they were already on the dragon.

04:42:36.620 --> 04:42:43.440
So he teeped so far away from the team and that is kind of what allowed HLE to go for the flight after the dragon was taken

04:42:43.440 --> 04:42:47.080
Is that Knight wasn't really with his team whatsoever until much later

04:42:47.080 --> 04:42:51.400
You know he had been up on that top side with Zeka and I thought he was gonna use the TP

04:42:51.400 --> 04:42:54.320
There was a deep ward over you know by that side lane

04:42:54.320 --> 04:42:58.400
And I thought he was gonna maybe be looking for something like that looking for an angle

04:42:58.400 --> 04:43:00.400
But instead he beat very conservatively

04:43:00.400 --> 04:43:08.400
Oh, Delight gonna get combo'd here, but he'll be able to make his way out to relative safety, get to a ward down, spots Shun, it's Kanabi.

04:43:08.400 --> 04:43:13.400
Finally getting where the wind comes lightning there as well as they didn't quite factor in Bin Bin here.

04:43:13.400 --> 04:43:18.400
There's a knockup from the three-tile instructor that saves Delight as he carries the ignite with him.

04:43:18.400 --> 04:43:24.400
Blasco is to get back in, eats some honey fruit to get that health bar back again, and that's actually with a successful defense.

04:43:24.400 --> 04:43:28.360
defense and that's a necessary defense here on the red buff they got to keep

04:43:28.360 --> 04:43:33.440
this economy up for Konami I mean the danger of the jacks in the brush is

04:43:33.440 --> 04:43:37.120
very real I thought that was actually going to explode in a fight but they

04:43:37.120 --> 04:43:40.480
haven't left the area and BLG still forcing for the top power

04:43:40.480 --> 04:43:44.360
there's the paranoia coming down as the crescent god comes in users should as a

04:43:44.360 --> 04:43:47.960
taxi to get up towards that topside the grand entrance doesn't do it and down

04:43:47.960 --> 04:43:52.040
goes Konami, Gumiuchi now to show off his pin just immediately jumps on top of him

04:43:52.040 --> 04:43:54.640
Zayas into that backline. Can he actually get a target though?

04:43:54.640 --> 04:43:57.840
Stribreaker helps him out and he takes down the jungler

04:43:57.840 --> 04:44:01.640
to light trying to get in there, but the quickness is denied entirely.

04:44:01.640 --> 04:44:04.640
And Guma's still alive, but it's not quite working.

04:44:04.640 --> 04:44:07.240
Featherstomp comes down, down goes Neolab as well,

04:44:07.240 --> 04:44:10.640
as Arn is going to get swept up by the razor sharp feathers,

04:44:10.640 --> 04:44:12.640
but it's still a BLG teamfight.

04:44:12.640 --> 04:44:14.640
And Ben came up huge in that fight.

04:44:14.640 --> 04:44:17.040
Massive chunk on the Guma, pushed him back,

04:44:17.040 --> 04:44:19.040
and then they just sacrificed Shun.

04:44:19.040 --> 04:44:21.040
They wait out Zayas' ult.

04:44:21.040 --> 04:44:27.640
when that expired as they can go back in for the re-engaged look at this full send as on flashes in they land the fear

04:44:27.880 --> 04:44:33.220
Chun is just chasing down this jungler and then night arrived flashes and gets the kill

04:44:33.220 --> 04:44:37.920
They know shun is dead so the rest of them just kind of back off as the Olaf pops his ult

04:44:38.480 --> 04:44:43.180
Sacrifice their jungler kite it out and as that ulti does eventually expire

04:44:43.180 --> 04:44:47.400
You can see Viper hitting a chain to corruption over on a delight Zayas has no ult they re-engage

04:44:47.400 --> 04:44:54.180
Exactly and then on is going to create the space there. He goes on the backside carries while the rest of DOG take down Olaf

04:44:54.180 --> 04:44:56.320
He thought he was going to be able to survive there

04:44:56.320 --> 04:45:01.040
But the blade collar enough little bit of extra damage with the tower shot to take him down

04:45:01.040 --> 04:45:05.400
And so it actually only ended up being plus one kills for them in the end

04:45:05.400 --> 04:45:09.240
Of course, they also bulldozed over the top tower. Yeah, exactly

04:45:09.240 --> 04:45:11.920
They get that tower and you can see how much damage it's been got down

04:45:11.920 --> 04:45:18.260
It really is just a battle of these two carries. It's going to be Guma versus Ben who can get the most value

04:45:18.520 --> 04:45:24.380
Guma working in towards that infinity edge. Ben has his Thunder at Sky. He's on two items. Both these guys are

04:45:24.880 --> 04:45:26.140
monstrously strong.

04:45:26.140 --> 04:45:30.600
Ben definitely can threaten Guma, but he's gonna have to play well because if you go too far you get charmed up,

04:45:30.600 --> 04:45:35.880
you get rooted up, you get blade collared. There's so many tools that they can have to lock him down and while

04:45:36.260 --> 04:45:37.440
the

04:45:37.440 --> 04:45:40.400
Counter-Strike is a window of safety. It doesn't last forever.

04:45:40.400 --> 04:45:48.440
Yeah, and I do think that if Viper just hits chains of corruption on Delight every single teamfight PLG will win every single one

04:45:48.440 --> 04:45:53.720
As the light goes in finds an angle towards on trying to use that ultimate effectively here as a chance of corruption

04:45:53.720 --> 04:45:59.680
Do come down once again Grimushi getting himself to relative safety as Zekka gets into trying to bend in that backline

04:46:00.080 --> 04:46:03.040
Grand exit here for Delight as he makes his way out

04:46:03.240 --> 04:46:08.160
No one dead just yet, but the Baron is up PLG's health bars are kind of looking okay

04:46:08.160 --> 04:46:14.840
that they aren't just going to back off and it looks like a reset. Yeah, they didn't quite get enough in cooldowns out of HLE.

04:46:14.840 --> 04:46:20.700
So HLE do defend the play for now. The vision is still in BLG's control though, so it gets dangerous.

04:46:20.700 --> 04:46:27.000
Oh dear, Zeca is just gonna coast away from BLG, but it's not gonna be enough. Just bumped on the head, little land post,

04:46:27.000 --> 04:46:32.460
and Ben is going to claim his fifth of the game. That's the first death there for Zeca, but it's a pretty big one.

04:46:32.460 --> 04:46:35.500
Didn't have his flash. They're gonna lose that tier 2 tower very likely.

04:46:35.500 --> 04:46:44.260
can not be in the area, but could be tough to fight this the constant pressure from BLG in this top quadrant of the map up here

04:46:44.260 --> 04:46:47.860
Has really rewarded them. You know the vision coverage

04:46:48.220 --> 04:46:53.420
Completely in their control again even after the fight and they're able to find the extra pick

04:46:53.860 --> 04:46:58.120
Dragon is available with still 12 seconds left on Zeka

04:46:58.580 --> 04:47:04.980
Yeah, sure making his way out of base seven seconds on the paranoia though. He can turn up in a moment's notice

04:47:05.500 --> 04:47:10.540
I'm breakable will not quite there for on as it looks like a chilly are gonna back away from this dragon pit

04:47:10.540 --> 04:47:14.380
The LG will say well, thank you very much for the leash. I know it's not a very big one

04:47:14.380 --> 04:47:18.300
But we're happy to do so that is gonna be soul point over to them if they're able to lock this one down

04:47:18.540 --> 04:47:22.020
And I think even though an ocean soul is good for anyone

04:47:22.380 --> 04:47:26.540
Denying it from a chilly is going to be the important point when you have the Pope Harris

04:47:26.540 --> 04:47:31.980
And they've been able to do that every single time and making been that much tankier if they do get the

04:47:31.980 --> 04:47:38.260
Oh, yeah, it's gonna be tough too. He's working towards that third item, Zonius, which bridges the gap between those counter strikes.

04:47:38.260 --> 04:47:43.300
That is why it is such a popular item. You jump in, leap strike onto Guma, you pop a counter strike,

04:47:43.300 --> 04:47:45.620
and then you're supposed to be in this danger zone,

04:47:45.620 --> 04:47:50.180
but you go to the Seekers, it resets the cooldowns, you get that counter strike coming back up,

04:47:50.180 --> 04:47:57.620
and that is where Jackson becomes so dangerous later on into the game, when you have all of these maxed rank abilities, such as our cooldowns.

04:47:57.620 --> 04:48:01.240
Well, I'm looking for an angle here as the Paranoia comes down once again.

04:48:01.240 --> 04:48:05.160
Let's see whether they can keep him as safe as the Blakefollower and Shun can have to flashing it out.

04:48:05.160 --> 04:48:07.220
But Kanabi's just dead in the blink of an eye.

04:48:07.220 --> 04:48:11.220
Xehanort's looking for an angle towards Bin, but On just throws him up into the air.

04:48:11.220 --> 04:48:15.220
Ragnarok still hasn't been propped just yet, so Xehanort's still pretty scary

04:48:15.220 --> 04:48:19.720
as Tibbers is going for a little bit of a scouting mission in the HLE jungle.

04:48:19.720 --> 04:48:24.020
But without their jungler, the LG might have an opportunity to go towards the Baron now.

04:48:24.020 --> 04:48:25.420
No smite to worry about.

04:48:25.420 --> 04:48:29.660
And Shin honestly set Kanabi's number on that front anyway throughout this series

04:48:29.660 --> 04:48:35.500
Yeah, these two-part engages with on on Alistar comboing the Zaya every time to get Guma an early ultimate

04:48:35.500 --> 04:48:39.220
And then Shin going in with the Nocturne is rewarding them

04:48:39.220 --> 04:48:46.340
But again, this one's still just gonna be one more kill not the actual objective that is fully going to claim the game for BOG

04:48:46.340 --> 04:48:49.480
So HLE they still hold on for now

04:48:49.580 --> 04:48:51.340
The next Dragon Soul

04:48:51.340 --> 04:48:55.340
is going to be three and a half minutes in the future.

04:48:55.340 --> 04:48:57.340
So they have something to look forward to.

04:48:57.340 --> 04:48:59.340
Absolutely do. I mean, Guma has the IE now.

04:48:59.340 --> 04:49:00.340
So he has the damage.

04:49:00.340 --> 04:49:02.340
He just needs the time to actually deal it.

04:49:02.340 --> 04:49:04.340
But that is going to be very, very difficult.

04:49:04.340 --> 04:49:06.340
Zeca onto items.

04:49:06.340 --> 04:49:09.340
He's not going to have actualizer by the time we get to that soul fight.

04:49:09.340 --> 04:49:11.340
You know, we might have Knight on his third item.

04:49:11.340 --> 04:49:13.340
Viper is working towards his third item.

04:49:13.340 --> 04:49:16.340
So BLG definitely going to be very, very strong.

04:49:16.340 --> 04:49:19.340
Well, on, I'm getting a little bit of trouble here.

04:49:19.340 --> 04:49:24.100
Five seconds on the ulti he's gonna have to use the flash to get out of there instead. So HLE

04:49:24.740 --> 04:49:30.260
Choosing their moment quite well. That's pretty big because that means no flash on on for this pivotal fight

04:49:30.260 --> 04:49:34.940
This dragon soul fight and that is gonna make it much more difficult for him to access Guma

04:49:34.940 --> 04:49:37.060
Obviously has spellbook. He can use something else

04:49:37.060 --> 04:49:42.540
But Guma has everything available on HLE want to keep it that way for the next couple minutes

04:49:42.980 --> 04:49:47.540
Dustbrain comes out here from shun gives away his position towards these buff gone chickens

04:49:47.540 --> 04:49:49.540
There is the paranoia. The Realm Warp!

04:49:49.540 --> 04:49:52.040
Gieta underneath the turret as Grover takes it down first!

04:49:52.040 --> 04:49:55.040
The feathers have been laid into the backline, goes Zez!

04:49:55.040 --> 04:49:57.540
And immediately he is taken down!

04:49:57.540 --> 04:50:00.540
And now it's BLG's turn to go on the offensive, Kanavi,

04:50:00.540 --> 04:50:03.540
using the Crescent Guard to try and create some space.

04:50:03.540 --> 04:50:06.540
But it is once again a pick here for BLG,

04:50:06.540 --> 04:50:09.040
and Summoner spells all over the place for Hanwha.

04:50:09.040 --> 04:50:13.540
Another rise. Realm Warp delivers their own team death atlas.

04:50:13.540 --> 04:50:16.540
It is a solo dive mission there from Zez on the other side.

04:50:16.540 --> 04:50:22.680
They were split directions, and he got bursted down by the Varus and the Nocturne, and now the Baron under attack.

04:50:22.680 --> 04:50:26.960
Yeah, 25 and a half minutes into the game, the Baron does do a favor to damage here as we can see.

04:50:26.960 --> 04:50:31.560
Shunned down a 50%, they are just going to be backing away, not wanting to risk it all on a Baron take.

04:50:31.560 --> 04:50:36.720
Exactly, they realize it's not worth sending it here, could still get taken away.

04:50:36.720 --> 04:50:42.940
The Dragon Soul available in 145, HLE, maybe feeling a bit of pressure, thought that they had it to go for it.

04:50:42.940 --> 04:50:44.940
You know, they do well more pin on the tower.

04:50:44.940 --> 04:50:47.540
The tower is very low, though, so went down quickly.

04:50:47.540 --> 04:50:49.660
What we saw is this went into that back line.

04:50:49.660 --> 04:50:52.340
He's got focused down in a hurry,

04:50:52.340 --> 04:50:54.020
burst through his cooldowns,

04:50:54.020 --> 04:50:56.060
and just wasn't able to take out Viper.

04:50:56.060 --> 04:50:58.420
Yeah, I mean, because BLG have constantly looked

04:50:58.420 --> 04:51:00.540
to pressure sideline and pressure top,

04:51:00.540 --> 04:51:02.180
it's not like he's a super fed Olaf

04:51:02.180 --> 04:51:05.460
that's going to be able to 1v9 on that side.

04:51:05.460 --> 04:51:09.300
And so good burst damage there on the side of BLG.

04:51:09.300 --> 04:51:11.700
The one question, though, is can they capitalize

04:51:11.700 --> 04:51:18.700
on the missing flash from Viper because he did have to use that and you look over at the light, you see flash available, you see Guma and Zeca have flash available,

04:51:18.700 --> 04:51:25.700
maybe they can try to catch Viper on this ferris, kill him off quick at the teamfight, that could be a window in,

04:51:25.700 --> 04:51:35.700
because HLE are going to have to try to get creative, find an angle to deny this soul, I just think from this far behind you cannot afford to give over an uncontested ocean soul.

04:51:35.700 --> 04:51:41.100
It's 50 seconds on the clock and HLA largely here towards the top side of the map teleporting hand here for night

04:51:41.100 --> 04:51:46.820
And he can just join any sort of fight in that river any time they would like as Kenabian's airs

04:51:47.140 --> 04:51:50.860
Are in position for now, but it looks like this just gonna back off clear out this wave

04:51:51.700 --> 04:51:55.620
You can see PLG are giving all their camps to Ben. So I think he's trying to rush towards zonius

04:51:55.620 --> 04:51:58.740
He's trying to get the last bit of gold. I have to assume for that zonius

04:51:58.740 --> 04:51:59.860
He's taking the Krugs right now

04:51:59.860 --> 04:52:03.780
They're taking those jungle camps and if he can get that would be huge

04:52:03.780 --> 04:52:05.580
But I don't know that he has time to base,

04:52:05.580 --> 04:52:07.420
so it looks like he won't be able to get there.

04:52:07.420 --> 04:52:09.540
Well, Kanabi with a cute little steal

04:52:09.540 --> 04:52:12.060
becomes lightning finally, something going his way.

04:52:12.060 --> 04:52:15.020
A couple of items being completed here for the Zinzao as well.

04:52:15.020 --> 04:52:17.140
I think he would love to get that level 16 too.

04:52:17.140 --> 04:52:18.860
He's so close to it there for Ben.

04:52:18.860 --> 04:52:20.700
If he could get some solo experience,

04:52:20.700 --> 04:52:26.460
we could just soak up level 16 for another rank in the ulti.

04:52:26.460 --> 04:52:28.100
Looking like it might be a little bit too late

04:52:28.100 --> 04:52:30.780
as far as that is concerned, but he is still extraordinarily

04:52:30.780 --> 04:52:31.780
strong here in this game.

04:52:31.780 --> 04:52:34.540
The second on a flank angle, Knight teleporting in.

04:52:34.540 --> 04:52:36.140
Will join the rest of his teammates.

04:52:36.140 --> 04:52:37.860
Five strong on BLG's side.

04:52:37.860 --> 04:52:40.380
The paranoia comes on through with Grimiyushi.

04:52:40.380 --> 04:52:42.620
Not going to be able to help take this one down.

04:52:42.620 --> 04:52:45.460
Asshun secures another soul.

04:52:45.460 --> 04:52:47.780
And Kanabi, he's trying to fight this one out,

04:52:47.780 --> 04:52:49.180
but he is just going to go down.

04:52:49.180 --> 04:52:52.740
Bin, in that backline, able to escape very comfortably.

04:52:52.740 --> 04:52:55.180
And once again, BLG taking the launch money.

04:52:55.180 --> 04:52:57.380
The feather storm has to be used by Grimiyushi,

04:52:57.380 --> 04:52:59.940
as they are going to try and take down this cow.

04:52:59.940 --> 04:53:03.100
But the bear comes from the sky, takes out the Rakan,

04:53:03.100 --> 04:53:05.780
and BLG will just cruise towards the Baron.

04:53:05.780 --> 04:53:07.780
BLG just played so beautifully.

04:53:07.780 --> 04:53:10.340
Bin on the side was threatening to flank the entire time,

04:53:10.340 --> 04:53:12.580
so Kuma could never step up, because he walks in.

04:53:12.580 --> 04:53:14.860
Bin will kill him, while the rest of the team

04:53:14.860 --> 04:53:18.100
just focused down Kanavi, and then on presses forward,

04:53:18.100 --> 04:53:19.860
forces out that ult.

04:53:19.860 --> 04:53:20.700
Just look at Bin.

04:53:20.700 --> 04:53:23.940
On the top of your screen, they're constantly threatening

04:53:23.940 --> 04:53:25.140
the ability to go in.

04:53:25.140 --> 04:53:27.740
They win this fight, and then it just eyes on the jungler,

04:53:27.740 --> 04:53:33.220
Fearing to change the corruption in the combo that kill them off bins or vines on the side and then they just chase forward

04:53:33.740 --> 04:53:40.220
Force out boom is all take out the light and the rewards are huge as you can see in the picture in picture

04:53:40.460 --> 04:53:44.380
They also got the bear and they also got some turret plate money

04:53:44.380 --> 04:53:49.840
And it is a huge huge swing here that is it gonna be what pushes BLG over the edge

04:53:50.740 --> 04:53:55.540
A five thousand gold lead now here for BLG as a result of that

04:53:55.540 --> 04:54:00.260
that priceless moment as Delight clears out the control wards.

04:54:00.260 --> 04:54:03.740
I just don't think it's going to be enough here from HLE's side.

04:54:03.740 --> 04:54:09.300
We've seen magic from Rekhans in the LCK and from Delight in particular that it is getting

04:54:09.300 --> 04:54:10.300
more and more difficult.

04:54:10.300 --> 04:54:15.300
Yes, there's four items on Grumini, but is that going to really make the difference here?

04:54:15.300 --> 04:54:20.780
Yeah, I mean, it's going to be extremely tough, you know, but there is always a chance.

04:54:20.780 --> 04:54:23.820
The problem is though, when you are the team behind and you look over and you see all these

04:54:23.820 --> 04:54:27.260
luxury items come through it gets so tough you realize fully completed donies

04:54:27.260 --> 04:54:31.980
after that fully completed GA after that night's now for on all of these tools to

04:54:31.980 --> 04:54:35.100
make the carries that much more difficult to take down and cannot be

04:54:35.100 --> 04:54:39.700
could be in a bit of trouble level 14 to level 16 here as shown with the last

04:54:39.700 --> 04:54:45.940
level in that paranoia it's feeling very very good on this nocturne it's a long

04:54:45.940 --> 04:54:50.780
solid in comparison to a guardian angel between the junglers there's a lot of

04:54:50.780 --> 04:54:55.020
extra money this nocturne does have is actually just trying to defend these

04:54:55.020 --> 04:54:58.540
barrened up minions on looking for an angle you can see it he was ready for a

04:54:58.540 --> 04:55:03.620
head-up over eyes but does not go in and the sidelines very dangerous bins got

04:55:03.620 --> 04:55:08.420
his level lead he's got his three item power spike in he's got a nocturne on

04:55:08.420 --> 04:55:11.900
his team who is also fed as you're highlighting with another three item

04:55:11.900 --> 04:55:17.500
power spike so BLG they play the four one split push and max range that is

04:55:17.500 --> 04:55:21.860
It's going to be the cleanse coming on through here, gets Gumiishi out of dodge,

04:55:21.860 --> 04:55:23.940
but that is still going to be this turret falling down.

04:55:23.940 --> 04:55:27.260
The out of turret is taking a long time to go, 30 minutes into the game,

04:55:27.260 --> 04:55:32.460
but still they managed to get through it and now been knocking on the back door here at the same time.

04:55:33.060 --> 04:55:35.540
Might get some stuff out of the way Gumiishi in a lot of trouble.

04:55:35.540 --> 04:55:38.260
He's just trying to get through these minions as in goes Kanami,

04:55:38.260 --> 04:55:43.980
but out he goes immediately with the headbutt and they dive on top of Zeyas and wipe him off the rift.

04:55:43.980 --> 04:55:47.420
PLG have found their opening and they're going to take even more after.

04:55:47.420 --> 04:55:50.700
Great call. On defense on the left with the headbutt

04:55:50.700 --> 04:55:54.540
and Shun attacks on the right with the ulti.

04:55:54.540 --> 04:55:56.580
PLG are just playing it so well, so patiently.

04:55:56.580 --> 04:55:58.620
Guma keeps getting poked. He went for the gun to screaves,

04:55:58.620 --> 04:56:01.580
but only two stacks and the game may be already over.

04:56:01.580 --> 04:56:04.940
He's not getting that much lifesteal from it.

04:56:04.940 --> 04:56:08.740
And Viper is just staying at range, constantly poking and prodding

04:56:08.740 --> 04:56:11.580
and targeting Guma, making his life difficult.

04:56:11.580 --> 04:56:14.380
And now it's a full core press, three waves being barren,

04:56:14.380 --> 04:56:17.060
buffed up, they already take out that mid and hip,

04:56:17.060 --> 04:56:19.060
they're on the towers in top,

04:56:19.060 --> 04:56:21.900
and Ben is gonna be threatening through bot lane as well.

04:56:21.900 --> 04:56:25.220
HLE have maybe got one more flight left in them,

04:56:25.220 --> 04:56:26.820
but they've got to wait for Zayacen,

04:56:26.820 --> 04:56:28.260
you're hoping for a miracle.

04:56:28.260 --> 04:56:29.580
I'll see whether they can make that one work.

04:56:29.580 --> 04:56:32.180
It's now Delight trying to get himself out of the way of on,

04:56:32.180 --> 04:56:33.740
Ben with that counter strike running,

04:56:33.740 --> 04:56:36.260
will be able to leap strike over the wall.

04:56:36.260 --> 04:56:38.500
As there's an exhaust, they really want to commit on this one,

04:56:38.500 --> 04:56:40.500
as the chain's corruption gonna be instantly cleansed.

04:56:40.500 --> 04:56:43.440
They might be able to get the jacks, but never mind, they will not!

04:56:43.440 --> 04:56:45.740
Down goes the Zyra Rakan!

04:56:45.740 --> 04:56:50.740
Into the backline they go, Pingo's golden though and now he's looking to escape from Zes.

04:56:50.740 --> 04:56:57.400
He does manage to get one of the kills on their Viper to light, tries to get in, and it does not work out.

04:56:57.400 --> 04:57:05.180
Bin survives and BLG will knock down these towers and move to match point in the MSI finals.

04:57:05.180 --> 04:57:09.940
Bin is dancing on of in and out with these leap strikes, man.

04:57:09.940 --> 04:57:16.660
What a game plan from BLG! Well crafted! They had the Nocturne early, Biff gets his Jax carry top,

04:57:16.660 --> 04:57:22.660
they split the jungle form, they split the map, and Shun is able to bring it home! Analysts!

04:57:22.660 --> 04:57:29.380
Are BLG gonna win again? Is the jungle gap gonna stay this big? Because I feel like that'll answer

04:57:29.380 --> 04:57:35.060
the question. Holy crap! Don't do him like this, you know what? We started at the beginning of the

04:57:35.060 --> 04:57:39.140
day that BLG had the upper hand and that they were favorites in this matchup. Turns out they were

04:57:39.140 --> 04:57:43.060
back to what made them good. Canavi aside, dude you have to step it up like come on you

04:57:43.060 --> 04:57:50.780
come to this your teammates. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, canavi aside. I thought canavi

04:57:50.780 --> 04:57:56.980
had switched to the LCK but clearly he's still playing for the LPL. So, okay. Everyone

04:57:56.980 --> 04:58:00.780
in Griffin is just playing the LPL. We got Fyper, we got Tarzan, we got Canavi. It all

04:58:00.780 --> 04:58:05.100
works out. Okay, I don't think I'm gonna go that far. Kind of a fair call out as savage

04:58:05.100 --> 04:58:10.100
that was, but I think like that early game was disgusting.

04:58:10.100 --> 04:58:12.740
And it's the same thing that happened last time with actually

04:58:12.740 --> 04:58:14.620
Cannavi Hello once again invading.

04:58:14.620 --> 04:58:18.180
It doesn't go well and it's that early game place that actually set

04:58:18.180 --> 04:58:19.820
up soon for the amazing early game that he got.

04:58:19.820 --> 04:58:22.580
Yeah, I wanted to go through it here so we can actually take a quick look at it

04:58:22.580 --> 04:58:25.140
because I want to pause it just here because basically there's a couple of

04:58:25.140 --> 04:58:27.300
things that Joe wants you to take note of.

04:58:27.300 --> 04:58:31.620
What we first off have is going to be, as I go one second, there we go.

04:58:31.620 --> 04:58:34.540
First off, we've got the sweeper that came through tonight to get rid of all

04:58:34.540 --> 04:58:38.260
vision is in this area. It's making it so much more difficult for Kenavi to actually

04:58:38.260 --> 04:58:41.700
try and contest this in any way, shape or form. The other thing that I want you to notice

04:58:41.700 --> 04:58:49.660
as well is going to be... not that one. But the word for it is just right the way down

04:58:49.660 --> 04:58:53.780
here. Just at the back of the red bull. Really small, really tiny, really good though. And

04:58:53.780 --> 04:58:56.980
basically now as we can start to play it out, you're going to get this invade that comes

04:58:56.980 --> 04:59:02.220
through. As BLG go for this, all they want to do is force Kenavi away. This is what we've

04:59:02.220 --> 04:59:05.580
seen traditionally from a lot of the top LPL teams, especially when they get knocked

04:59:05.580 --> 04:59:09.420
out. It's playing heavily for this invade star. We can speed this up a little bit now

04:59:09.420 --> 04:59:14.140
as soon as it's going to fully clear out these topside camps and then look to a reset.

04:59:14.940 --> 04:59:19.500
The crucial thing though that I want to point out is going to be how you end up catching

04:59:19.500 --> 04:59:24.460
Canavi on that ward because he's now, as you can see on the minimap, just moving across

04:59:24.460 --> 04:59:28.300
and I'm going to pause it now just as we start to go through this reset as well because there's

04:59:28.300 --> 04:59:29.460
There's going to be two things to notice.

04:59:29.460 --> 04:59:31.500
Obviously, Kanavi caught on the ward.

04:59:31.500 --> 04:59:34.700
The second thing is going to be the buy from Sean.

04:59:34.700 --> 04:59:37.300
As Sean spots Kanavi in his jungle,

04:59:37.300 --> 04:59:39.100
he doesn't go for the traditional longsword.

04:59:39.100 --> 04:59:40.340
He goes for boots.

04:59:40.340 --> 04:59:43.140
This man wants to get into his jungle as quick,

04:59:43.140 --> 04:59:46.260
as humanly possible to make sure that he can bully Kanavi

04:59:46.260 --> 04:59:47.220
once again.

04:59:47.220 --> 04:59:49.740
And also, you've already got this rotation

04:59:49.740 --> 04:59:51.380
that's coming through from on as well.

04:59:51.380 --> 04:59:54.220
He's going to start to shift over into this bottom side

04:59:54.220 --> 04:59:55.860
and just hide on this bush.

04:59:55.860 --> 05:00:01.220
because he ends up hiding in the bush there, the red buff aggro's to him in the bush. It

05:00:01.220 --> 05:00:06.100
looks like the red buff is aggroing as per usual, so as we play it out, Canavi doesn't

05:00:06.100 --> 05:00:09.820
suspect anything. Canavi thinks he's basically gotten away with this, and he's going to be

05:00:09.820 --> 05:00:14.340
able to get the right camp. Answer for some of the pressure that's already there, but

05:00:14.340 --> 05:00:19.340
here, Bouton Shun, he gets out fast enough, on is already in position to cover, and from

05:00:19.340 --> 05:00:23.380
this point as well, now Shun is thinking, okay, what's the only way that Canavi can

05:00:23.380 --> 05:00:27.340
trying to get back into this is trying to make some sort of play or by moving

05:00:27.340 --> 05:00:31.540
into his topside. But Shun and Seid just goes right. I'm gonna beeline it straight

05:00:31.540 --> 05:00:35.860
to the topside of the map and look to turn this top lane around. Ignore

05:00:35.860 --> 05:00:39.900
basically the camps that I could go for in the blue and the gromp and just get

05:00:39.900 --> 05:00:43.780
the kill top lane. It sets up Shun massively in the early stages to get

05:00:43.780 --> 05:00:49.020
this kill and set bin up and then win out completely in the jungle. There is

05:00:49.020 --> 05:00:52.660
zero that Kanagi can do from this position. And then the fact that Seid

05:00:52.660 --> 05:00:55.260
He was died, TP'd back, died again.

05:00:55.260 --> 05:00:57.940
Kanavi started Drake when his smite was on 600 damage,

05:00:57.940 --> 05:01:00.220
Shen was on 1,000, so we stole it.

05:01:00.220 --> 05:01:03.900
This is the type of game that 95% of pro teams

05:01:03.900 --> 05:01:06.460
ask for a remake, if it's a script.

05:01:06.460 --> 05:01:08.740
That's how disastrous that beginning was,

05:01:08.740 --> 05:01:11.620
because it just all went in the favor of BLG.

05:01:11.620 --> 05:01:14.060
Then it did kinda get close, just the cherry on top.

05:01:14.060 --> 05:01:17.300
Another smite win for BLG.

05:01:17.300 --> 05:01:19.940
It's been a mental breaker, I feel like, for HLE.

05:01:19.940 --> 05:01:23.940
They're back against the wall with BLG on the match points.

05:01:23.940 --> 05:01:26.640
Gigabit on Jax, impossible to stop them.

05:01:26.640 --> 05:01:29.740
They're really happy about this boys backstage,

05:01:29.740 --> 05:01:31.140
but they're making it happen again.

05:01:31.140 --> 05:01:34.240
They're making it happen the same way they did last time.

05:01:34.240 --> 05:01:37.140
Empowering Jungle, empowering Top Lane.

05:01:37.140 --> 05:01:40.440
I'm just wondering what can HLE fight here with

05:01:40.440 --> 05:01:41.940
because they only have one game to do it.

05:01:41.940 --> 05:01:43.940
Well, the only good news again is

05:01:43.940 --> 05:01:45.840
you're not going to have to handle this problem again.

05:01:45.840 --> 05:01:49.040
He has shot a game on Jax and then we can look ahead, right?

05:01:49.040 --> 05:01:52.040
It was the gigabit performance, but I don't think that that was the biggest issue, right?

05:01:52.040 --> 05:01:54.040
The Olaf going south was a lot of jungle intervention.

05:01:54.040 --> 05:01:58.040
It was a bit of disrespect to the potential Jax pick, but I want to highlight two things.

05:01:58.040 --> 05:02:01.040
One, the jungler. That's the elephant in the room, we'll acknowledge him.

05:02:01.040 --> 05:02:03.040
He's over there, his name is Kanabi, he's struggling to play League of Legends,

05:02:03.040 --> 05:02:06.040
probably because he doesn't have hands anymore, he has to close to whatever elephant has.

05:02:06.040 --> 05:02:08.040
But he's going to get his hands back, I believe that.

05:02:08.040 --> 05:02:10.040
The rest, it's the bottom side of the map.

05:02:10.040 --> 05:02:12.040
The light and Guma have been good.

05:02:12.040 --> 05:02:14.040
They've been trying so hard.

05:02:14.040 --> 05:02:18.040
The signature recon felt like it might be enough, but they really need to clean up the rest of the map.

05:02:18.040 --> 05:02:22.040
up the rest of the map. I believe Angelii have the tools but it's the jungle stuff.

05:02:22.040 --> 05:02:26.200
They have the tools but on the other side they have a player that used to stand alongside

05:02:26.200 --> 05:02:33.800
them once Viper with BLG. One game away from the very first career Grand Slam. One game

05:02:33.800 --> 05:02:40.120
away from doing it here in Dejon in his hometown in front of his audience. Bin wanted to prove

05:02:40.120 --> 05:02:44.040
that he can be better than this. He's doing it but for me here I'm looking at Viper and

05:02:44.040 --> 05:02:46.120
that man and what he's about to accomplish here today.

05:02:46.120 --> 05:02:48.760
And he's done it with everything he played made us to get here now

05:02:48.760 --> 05:02:55.840
He's played 380 carries so far in this tournament in this final for me if I'm looking about an HLE comeback

05:02:56.680 --> 05:03:00.940
Oh, just scroll through side selection. I needed to see if I'm HLE

05:03:01.080 --> 05:03:07.600
They are they have to give Zeyu's counter pick blind picking the all off there was so sketchy and the lady you get to fearless

05:03:07.600 --> 05:03:12.520
With how much these top laners want to throw down and how much the jungle has impacted early game

05:03:12.520 --> 05:03:15.240
You have to put that guy in a favorable position

05:03:15.500 --> 05:03:20.540
Yeah, I do think though I want to hit back enough my birthday piece because it is so important like the fact that he is

05:03:21.040 --> 05:03:28.340
Disappeared he went to the LPL got a world championship at EDG came back to home. Why it was by for life eSports for so much of that

05:03:28.340 --> 05:03:32.620
I know he's moved back over to the LPL playing against his former team of BLG

05:03:32.620 --> 05:03:35.080
He has to see if he can do it now in this game

05:03:35.080 --> 05:03:40.600
It might be an LCK crowd here in Dejon, but it's Viper the hometown boy and BLG

05:03:40.600 --> 05:03:45.040
who leave the charge and take us to match points in this grand final one

05:03:45.040 --> 05:03:49.640
game away from hosting the trophy. Let's see if they can do it.

05:04:10.600 --> 05:04:12.600
The

05:04:30.600 --> 05:04:32.600
All right, it's your funeral

05:04:36.380 --> 05:04:38.980
Your bears got better instincts from most parents

05:04:40.600 --> 05:05:07.400
Welcome to Argyne, now live in Shanghai, it's your time to step into the real Argyne world.

05:05:07.400 --> 05:05:12.000
This is absolutely the wildest Argin Carnival you will ever experience.

05:05:12.000 --> 05:05:16.400
Follow an immersive Argin on Axe for the latest show update.

05:05:37.400 --> 05:05:40.520
We'll China test every limit imaginable.

05:05:40.520 --> 05:05:43.760
Will South Korea turn every game into a macro masterclass?

05:05:43.760 --> 05:05:47.800
Will EU and NA actually play in the correct lengths?

05:05:47.800 --> 05:05:50.720
The final event of the year is not to be missed.

05:05:50.720 --> 05:05:53.160
Esports Nation's Cup 2026.

05:05:53.160 --> 05:05:54.520
See you in Riyadh.

05:06:24.520 --> 05:06:26.520
I

05:06:54.520 --> 05:07:02.640
I told you I was done with basic browsers

05:07:08.240 --> 05:07:13.240
Your setup wants opera GX and you're holding it back

05:07:21.680 --> 05:07:23.680
Upgrade to the gaming browser

05:07:24.520 --> 05:07:26.520
Download Opera GX.

05:07:31.520 --> 05:07:34.520
Red Bull gives you wings.

05:07:34.520 --> 05:07:37.520
With my new phone company, Menace Mobile,

05:07:37.520 --> 05:07:40.520
our pricing structure will be so confusing.

05:07:40.520 --> 05:07:42.520
It could already be described as evil.

05:07:42.520 --> 05:07:44.520
That isn't evil.

05:07:44.520 --> 05:07:46.520
It's just typical phone company stuff.

05:07:46.520 --> 05:07:48.520
Besides people who just switched to Verizon.

05:07:48.520 --> 05:07:51.520
With their new simplicity plan, there's just one plan and one price.

05:07:51.520 --> 05:07:52.520
What now?

05:07:52.520 --> 05:07:54.520
And it's only $30 for a single line.

05:07:54.520 --> 05:07:55.520
$30!

05:07:55.520 --> 05:07:57.520
So you're all choosing Verizon.

05:07:57.520 --> 05:07:58.520
Free this!

05:07:58.520 --> 05:08:00.520
Introducing the Simplicity Plan.

05:08:00.520 --> 05:08:02.520
$30 for a single line.

05:08:02.520 --> 05:08:04.520
Can you hear me now?

05:10:21.520 --> 05:10:47.980
Welcome back ladies and gentlemen to the MSI 2026 grand final BLG waiting to put that

05:10:47.980 --> 05:10:52.060
last brick in this part of the road.

05:10:52.060 --> 05:10:53.300
The middle of the golden road.

05:10:53.300 --> 05:10:54.140
Indeed.

05:10:54.140 --> 05:10:55.700
It's not just any road.

05:10:55.700 --> 05:10:57.500
It's a shiny golden road.

05:10:57.500 --> 05:10:58.220
Exactly.

05:10:58.220 --> 05:11:01.540
And if you're paving it once you get past the middle,

05:11:01.540 --> 05:11:03.460
you know, it feels like downhill from there, right?

05:11:03.460 --> 05:11:05.220
So this is going to be a tough one,

05:11:05.220 --> 05:11:07.740
but we'll see whether they can make it happen with a match

05:11:07.740 --> 05:11:09.100
point in the bag.

05:11:09.100 --> 05:11:11.780
We're seeing some bands come on through as we jump immediately

05:11:11.780 --> 05:11:12.860
into champion select.

05:11:12.860 --> 05:11:16.420
Benar and the Jace being taken away from Zayas.

05:11:16.420 --> 05:11:19.500
And the Pantheon remaining on the ban list as well as that ban in Syndra.

05:11:19.500 --> 05:11:25.720
Yeah, very very similar bans thus far, so I have to see where the teams want to go.

05:11:25.720 --> 05:11:29.820
It feels like HLE, I want to see them draft for bot lane prios,

05:11:29.820 --> 05:11:32.020
their delight can get out there, play with Kanavi.

05:11:32.020 --> 05:11:36.820
I feel like On and Shun have been such difference makers for this team.

05:11:36.820 --> 05:11:41.820
They have been dominating the last two games, putting Kanavi way far down.

05:11:41.820 --> 05:11:44.220
And it is going to be Ash Seraphim pretty much guaranteed,

05:11:44.220 --> 05:11:48.220
but you'll have the opportunity to split the duo if they want.

05:11:48.220 --> 05:11:51.720
I've actually seen Ash Lulu be pretty powerful.

05:11:51.720 --> 05:11:53.720
Lulu hasn't been banned or anything like that.

05:11:53.720 --> 05:11:55.220
They could go towards it if they'd like to,

05:11:55.220 --> 05:11:57.220
but instead a Mel bottom lane could be the option.

05:11:57.220 --> 05:11:59.220
Yeah, just go for killing it.

05:11:59.220 --> 05:12:01.220
And Viper has been quite good in so many mages,

05:12:01.220 --> 05:12:04.220
so you get on on some support that's going to have

05:12:04.220 --> 05:12:06.220
snapping gauges and try and punish.

05:12:06.220 --> 05:12:10.220
What you assume is going to be some low mobility bottom laners

05:12:10.220 --> 05:12:12.220
on the side of HLE.

05:12:12.220 --> 05:12:18.500
And we'll see if they want to go for the super aggressive option of the pike, or if they want to go, you know, something a bit more standard.

05:12:18.500 --> 05:12:21.780
You can still go Nautilus along that line as well.

05:12:21.780 --> 05:12:25.780
Well, interesting, interesting. Okay.

05:12:25.780 --> 05:12:32.660
Nautilus is the guarantee, right? Like, if you feel like you can play pike at the absolute highest level, I think it is incredibly strong.

05:12:32.660 --> 05:12:38.500
I think if you're not playing pike, like Karrie is playing pike, then it's just always better to play Nautilus or something like that.

05:12:38.500 --> 05:12:40.380
Yeah, or like I was playing pike.

05:12:40.380 --> 05:13:09.380
That's true. That's how we move to the game too. Not like game one. No, the most recent. Yeah, of course, of course. Okay, so they're going to keep us in anticipation though. They're going to keep us in wait here. They go for the Cassante blind instead anyway. I don't know about the Cassante blind because we're actually having a conversation off air about can I be needing something to, you know, get his mojo back and his trundle has given him that so far at this MSI. Yeah, that's one of the things that we were mentioning and we were talking about it.

05:13:10.380 --> 05:13:14.760
Canavi does get it. It's a good angle for it just because they've already got that tank top.

05:13:14.760 --> 05:13:23.020
So they complete the Ash and Serafine and so do we also complete the male pike looking for the kills playing on the edge?

05:13:23.420 --> 05:13:25.920
But this just makes games exciting.

05:13:25.920 --> 05:13:28.920
I think they're gonna go for it. I mean, it's not enough for so long, but...

05:13:28.920 --> 05:13:30.920
OH SHIT! You're getting the Trundle again!

05:13:30.920 --> 05:13:32.420
Oh, look at the Trundle again!

05:13:32.420 --> 05:13:36.660
Another angle to counter a Trundle! You can dance around him!

05:13:36.660 --> 05:13:39.460
Last time he did it, he controlled the game so well.

05:13:39.460 --> 05:13:46.700
He invaded poor bot side of the map they split the map for jungle and then he got jungle lead experience advantage over the

05:13:46.700 --> 05:13:52.380
Trindle and should just control the game and this series I had to say Atlas by

05:13:52.380 --> 05:13:58.380
Jota has controlled the jungle matchup. Kanavi has been limping through it and

05:13:58.880 --> 05:14:05.400
This is exactly what happened in game four last time and there was no way that HLE could actually get over the top

05:14:05.400 --> 05:14:07.400
So I'm a little bit frightened.

05:14:07.400 --> 05:14:11.400
Hopefully they've done their homework and they know what they need to do into this.

05:14:11.400 --> 05:14:14.400
But the Trundle's already been locked in.

05:14:14.400 --> 05:14:17.400
And so Kanavi gonna have to try and make this matchup work.

05:14:17.400 --> 05:14:20.400
Yeah, I mean it brings you an AD carry as well, right?

05:14:20.400 --> 05:14:21.400
Because you have that mage box.

05:14:21.400 --> 05:14:22.400
Yeah.

05:14:22.400 --> 05:14:25.400
You have consistent damage there, you know, with this show in Kindred.

05:14:25.400 --> 05:14:27.400
It is one of his most played champions all time.

05:14:27.400 --> 05:14:30.400
Fourth most played, 42 games, 69% win rate.

05:14:30.400 --> 05:14:33.400
This guy is a demon on the Kindred.

05:14:33.400 --> 05:14:38.360
And one of the earliest champions that he was known for and so cool to see these players

05:14:38.520 --> 05:14:43.800
You know stick with some iconic champions in big tournaments in big moments

05:14:44.240 --> 05:14:49.800
And it's just nice to see should back with bo g and this team is looking so good

05:14:49.800 --> 05:14:56.080
Can they complete it though because the pike has been banned in exchange you did not walk in the rest of your bottom lane

05:14:56.280 --> 05:14:58.920
They're gonna take away a couple of parts of it

05:14:58.920 --> 05:15:03.440
Yeah, and the stylus obviously is so effective when there is Seraphine as well as Ash, right?

05:15:03.440 --> 05:15:07.320
So they're gonna have to ban that away, but you can go Nonalice, you can go Brawl,

05:15:07.320 --> 05:15:12.580
you can go a lot of different parries with it, maybe not as explosive as something like the Pyke,

05:15:12.580 --> 05:15:14.440
but I do think it still works very well.

05:15:14.520 --> 05:15:18.560
There's also a chance that they can completely pivot and they can always move the mel towards.

05:15:18.560 --> 05:15:20.560
Ooh, the Skana support!

05:15:20.560 --> 05:15:25.480
Yeah, we've talked about it a lot this tournament. Let's see it.

05:15:25.480 --> 05:15:28.480
There it is. On-Gonna-Lock-That-One-Away.

05:15:28.480 --> 05:15:32.480
And so the Mel and Skarner. This is something we have seen here in Korea.

05:15:32.480 --> 05:15:35.480
But it hasn't been all that popular.

05:15:35.480 --> 05:15:38.480
We'll see what HLE got. And it's probably looking for a couple of small wins here.

05:15:38.480 --> 05:15:41.480
Yeah, I mean Skarner's support can be strong. It is a playmaker.

05:15:41.480 --> 05:15:44.480
But honestly, I kind of prefer the Nautilus because I feel like,

05:15:44.480 --> 05:15:47.480
unless you're going in with an instant flash,

05:15:47.480 --> 05:15:52.480
Seraphine and Ashe can disengage a Skarner way easier than they can disengage something like a Nautilus.

05:15:52.480 --> 05:15:54.160
like a Nautilus that is much more explosive.

05:15:54.160 --> 05:15:55.920
You can't do anything about the depth charge.

05:15:55.920 --> 05:15:56.640
Oh, the swing.

05:15:56.640 --> 05:15:59.080
Zeyas did say in an interview, he

05:15:59.080 --> 05:16:01.880
wanted to hide this for the finals.

05:16:01.880 --> 05:16:05.480
But Lyon pushed them, and he felt he had to bring it out.

05:16:05.480 --> 05:16:08.040
So he is moving back towards it.

05:16:08.040 --> 05:16:11.360
But I don't feel like it's as crazy of an angle at all

05:16:11.360 --> 05:16:14.320
compared to the game we had against them.

05:16:14.320 --> 05:16:17.440
It's at least good for into Cassante and into Skarner here.

05:16:17.440 --> 05:16:20.800
So we'll see if it ends up becoming a problem.

05:16:20.800 --> 05:16:23.640
if the Kinter is able to get a bunch of marks early

05:16:23.640 --> 05:16:24.720
and get the extra range.

05:16:24.720 --> 05:16:27.000
I'm also curious, will they flex the Mal mid

05:16:27.000 --> 05:16:28.400
and take another AD carry?

05:16:28.400 --> 05:16:31.120
Or are they going to go something here for a night?

05:16:31.120 --> 05:16:35.960
LeBlanc to answer the TF would be pretty spicy, but LeBlanc

05:16:35.960 --> 05:16:39.440
is a champion that is very bad into champions like Swain.

05:16:39.440 --> 05:16:42.200
So maybe looking for a bit more consistent DPS.

05:16:42.200 --> 05:16:43.880
I mean, if you go Zoe, you do set yourself up

05:16:43.880 --> 05:16:45.120
with a really nice poke comp.

05:16:45.120 --> 05:16:47.520
You can set up for some pretty powerful combos.

05:16:47.520 --> 05:16:49.640
If you hit a sleep, you can solar snare out of that.

05:16:49.640 --> 05:16:55.840
Humbo that burst but looks like it's the block and I think it's picking for we're trying to think what can we pick for

05:16:55.840 --> 05:17:02.640
This the kindred right now and have a really good mid and jungle synergy here interesting. They end up going for the Taliyah

05:17:03.640 --> 05:17:06.800
Oh, I'm gonna swap them back. Yeah, let's see where they end up

05:17:06.800 --> 05:17:14.320
Yeah, Vypo is pretty good on the Taliyah is something that he's practiced since 2019 although Griffin fans would prefer me to not talk about it

05:17:14.960 --> 05:17:17.600
Looks like it is going to be the Mel though towards that bottom side

05:17:17.600 --> 05:17:19.600
And this has been the very common pairing,

05:17:19.600 --> 05:17:23.600
the Mel and the Skarner down there as Knight will be able to augment.

05:17:23.600 --> 05:17:27.600
The rest of his lanes by being able to just build walls all the way over there.

05:17:27.600 --> 05:17:29.600
Exactly. You can kind of match the roams here from the TF,

05:17:29.600 --> 05:17:32.600
so it's less about lane domination, more about getting the push,

05:17:32.600 --> 05:17:35.600
matching the roam, and it's also a champion that brings some very solid,

05:17:35.600 --> 05:17:38.600
consistent damage to help deal with the Strundle that's going to be amped up

05:17:38.600 --> 05:17:40.600
from the stealing of these stats from Bin,

05:17:40.600 --> 05:17:43.600
as well as the Swain that's pretty difficult to actually punch through.

05:17:43.600 --> 05:17:46.600
So they have gotten themselves enough DPS to actually get through

05:17:46.600 --> 05:17:51.080
get through and this is supposed to be the the first ever scarner support

05:17:51.080 --> 05:17:54.840
internationally which is very cool to see that come out though we had been

05:17:54.840 --> 05:17:59.160
seeing it some around the world coming into this tournament and there had to be

05:17:59.160 --> 05:18:02.080
expectations that it would come out here but it had really only been getting

05:18:02.080 --> 05:18:10.280
played jungle so far at MSI. Yep LCP and LPL now at MSI all right I mean BOT

05:18:10.280 --> 05:18:16.360
they have HLE on the ropes right now can HLE revive this crowd here in Dajon

05:18:16.360 --> 05:18:21.360
Or are BLG gonna put another brick in their golden road?

05:18:21.360 --> 05:18:27.360
It's match point. BLG win this one. They win it all and we could get some silver scrapes here.

05:18:27.360 --> 05:18:33.360
We were talking about it yesterday with Zeca managing to win another game five.

05:18:33.360 --> 05:18:37.360
But we'll see whether he even has an opportunity to get there.

05:18:37.360 --> 05:18:41.360
As BLG, like you say, definitely have them on the ropes for now.

05:18:41.360 --> 05:18:46.560
for now. Zeca, maybe a little bit of trouble is there is on getting the flash out of this

05:18:46.560 --> 05:18:50.760
Twisted Fate already. That is really, really nice. They come from both sides on and shouldn't

05:18:50.760 --> 05:18:54.000
collapse and now they're trying to set up for a potential invade, but shouldn't see

05:18:54.000 --> 05:18:58.760
the trundle there. We'll back it up. Yeah, you can tell how worried HLE are about the

05:18:58.760 --> 05:19:03.600
invade again. They don't want to let this kindred, you know, get the invade going. So

05:19:03.600 --> 05:19:08.640
everybody was there to defend it and then defend it twice. So Kanabi will at least get

05:19:08.640 --> 05:19:10.680
to keep his own side of the map.

05:19:10.680 --> 05:19:12.040
That is pretty important.

05:19:12.040 --> 05:19:13.440
And Chun, you touched on it last time,

05:19:13.440 --> 05:19:15.720
he had already brought this out once in this matchup.

05:19:15.720 --> 05:19:19.360
But in that game, he got so many marks, it was absurd.

05:19:19.360 --> 05:19:21.840
He was on four marks by, I want to say, seven, eight minutes.

05:19:21.840 --> 05:19:24.560
I actually thought that the UI was broken.

05:19:24.560 --> 05:19:27.080
I was like, there's no way that's even possible.

05:19:27.080 --> 05:19:29.240
Maybe that's a different kind of mark.

05:19:29.240 --> 05:19:32.240
But nope, Chun was just that fed.

05:19:32.240 --> 05:19:35.680
Yeah, and it was very impressive to see.

05:19:35.680 --> 05:19:41.420
And you can see is that is going to be trying his best to get the push here with Kenavi.

05:19:41.420 --> 05:19:43.180
Obviously, a lot of the gangs are about the slows.

05:19:43.180 --> 05:19:44.680
The ash house slows as well.

05:19:44.680 --> 05:19:46.320
This is probably going to go right lies.

05:19:46.320 --> 05:19:47.120
So night has gone.

05:19:47.120 --> 05:19:50.600
Storm Raider Surge is a little bit of a tech to try to escape from those

05:19:50.600 --> 05:19:55.360
trendal pillars and the gangs and slows that are really coming in from pretty much all angles.

05:19:56.200 --> 05:20:01.040
Well, Hawkshaw gets them a bit of information here as we're having a look at the international

05:20:01.040 --> 05:20:03.360
finals between these two teams.

05:20:03.800 --> 05:20:04.880
It's quite a trophy case.

05:20:04.880 --> 05:20:08.480
Yeah, no kidding. I mean, seven international finals appearances.

05:20:08.480 --> 05:20:11.320
Therefore, Ben has the two trophies to his name.

05:20:11.320 --> 05:20:13.600
Guma as well on seven.

05:20:13.600 --> 05:20:17.840
So Ben could match his trophy case if he can win this one, though.

05:20:17.840 --> 05:20:20.560
Of course, Guma has all the world championships,

05:20:20.560 --> 05:20:22.680
which are the most prized by far.

05:20:22.680 --> 05:20:28.000
Yeah, Viper as well, looking pretty good with four in his.

05:20:28.000 --> 05:20:30.960
As it says, yeah, using those sift lightning hands

05:20:30.960 --> 05:20:32.920
pretty effectively here against Ben,

05:20:32.920 --> 05:20:35.880
who did take the short end of the stick this time around with the blind pick.

05:20:35.880 --> 05:20:38.680
Kassante not going to have a great time in the early stage.

05:20:38.680 --> 05:20:45.880
Okay, so it's been calm farming straight from top down to bottom this time around.

05:20:46.760 --> 05:20:53.240
Of course, Wenbyoji did it versus T1, kind of clutched it up. As you say, Shun got very ahead,

05:20:53.240 --> 05:20:58.920
very early on. He's going to cross back to the top side mark of the Scarlcrab up here.

05:20:58.920 --> 05:21:05.120
And that is actually such a big deal. The RNG on the first Scuttle spawn can really dictate sometimes the basic game.

05:21:05.120 --> 05:21:09.120
Sometimes it feels like you just keep getting bad RNG. It's always on the side of the map you can't go to.

05:21:09.120 --> 05:21:14.320
And if you look, HLE had bot lane push, so if that Scuttle mark spawned down there, they would not be able to do anything.

05:21:14.320 --> 05:21:16.320
Kanabi trying to turn this into a gank though.

05:21:16.320 --> 05:21:18.920
Yeah, Viper could be in a bit of trouble. It has to flash immediately.

05:21:18.920 --> 05:21:21.920
But is that actually going to get him to safety as the Frost Shop comes in?

05:21:21.920 --> 05:21:25.320
It's decent work as the beat drops and first blood to Guma.

05:21:25.320 --> 05:21:28.120
Immediately answered there as Kanabi goes down.

05:21:28.120 --> 05:21:32.840
But getting Kuma fed is being a pretty good thing if HLE so far this MSI.

05:21:32.840 --> 05:21:37.320
That was critical that they are able to clutch that and focus down Viper there.

05:21:37.320 --> 05:21:42.280
Because all on trapping Kenavi against the wall, he was definitely dead to rights.

05:21:42.280 --> 05:21:46.280
And it goes one for one with the first blood bonus to Kuma, to HLE.

05:21:46.280 --> 05:21:49.400
Really well played there by BLG, you know, that stun into the wall,

05:21:49.400 --> 05:21:51.480
the solar snare in the tower.

05:21:51.480 --> 05:21:56.600
And had Viper survive, that would have been a disaster for HLE.

05:21:56.600 --> 05:22:02.640
But as you say, Goma, I feel like he's been having a really good series, but it hasn't always resulted in wins, right?

05:22:02.640 --> 05:22:07.280
You know, in the Ziggs game. Whoa, flashing from Ben looking for an angle towards Zayas who flashes out of the way

05:22:07.600 --> 05:22:10.680
Vision of Empire comes down very short range that time

05:22:10.920 --> 05:22:16.600
And so now both of our top laners without a flash and Zayas especially without a lot of mobility

05:22:16.600 --> 05:22:18.040
Yeah, that was well played there by Ben

05:22:18.040 --> 05:22:23.240
He knew he had the pathmaker to actually immune that little root that was gonna be coming in but Konami is here

05:22:23.240 --> 05:22:29.680
Never move just barely dashed away from there by bin. I don't think the troll has

05:22:29.680 --> 05:22:34.520
been spotted just yet though. It's interesting because you look at the

05:22:34.520 --> 05:22:39.880
support room timer too. Skarner here for on is on the way up. I have a feeling

05:22:39.880 --> 05:22:44.620
there is a troll in that brush as he dashes forward. Kanavi pops his head out.

05:22:44.620 --> 05:22:47.920
Let's see where the Zayas can get himself alive and the answer is absolutely he

05:22:47.920 --> 05:22:51.920
can. Never move comes in. Vision of Empire for the kill and that is the second one

05:22:51.920 --> 05:22:58.920
That's some great patience here from Kanavi. Kanavi makes the early game happen on the bot side, then gets a gank on the top side.

05:22:58.920 --> 05:23:02.920
That is critical because he has been struggling here against Shun, these last couple of games.

05:23:02.920 --> 05:23:12.920
Oh no. Delight roaming down. He's going to spot on here as there's in position. There is Iqshtal and Delight in a lot of trouble.

05:23:12.920 --> 05:23:18.920
Vision of Empire is not going to help him and Shun is going to grab another mark here. Kanavi moving up, trying to defend Zas.

05:23:18.920 --> 05:23:23.600
Zayas, he might be in trouble as well as the nevermovie is going to catch on to Shun and

05:23:23.600 --> 05:23:28.600
Kanabi finds him. There is also the demonic ascension to keep Zayas alive. It's going

05:23:28.600 --> 05:23:33.000
to be another one of HLE and Zayas a 2-0-1.

05:23:33.000 --> 05:23:37.520
I thought they were going to back off when they saw Zayas get level 6. When he gets level

05:23:37.520 --> 05:23:42.080
6 he's two taking man. Aun thought he was going to have some burst damage with his hail

05:23:42.080 --> 05:23:48.080
of blades and drive him into Shun but Zayas is happy to take that ride.

05:23:48.080 --> 05:23:51.660
You can see this mark though, Shun just playing it so well places the mark and that's obviously

05:23:51.660 --> 05:23:54.960
going to tip the hand to Delight, but then he flashes in and watch how he delays the

05:23:54.960 --> 05:24:00.120
third hit until the mark has actually fully switched over, last second there, split second

05:24:00.120 --> 05:24:03.320
waited for the mark to establish, gets that mark, then they go in here, but let's see

05:24:03.320 --> 05:24:08.920
say Kobe, that is a swing that's level six and the never move was so critical because

05:24:08.920 --> 05:24:13.400
when you pull the soul you get a large heel coming in, that I think really did make the

05:24:13.400 --> 05:24:19.880
difference and it was just that unfortunate timing there for Shun as he goes forward gets hit by the never move on

05:24:19.880 --> 05:24:24.440
Is already going in with these shawls impact, but he gets that heel gets the ult off you're not killing him

05:24:24.440 --> 05:24:26.640
Yeah, that was a max range never move as well

05:24:26.640 --> 05:24:32.680
That one was quite ridiculous out of Zayas certainly showing that he's very practiced on this new tech

05:24:33.080 --> 05:24:38.200
Towards that top side that he did have to use against Lyon earlier on in the tournament

05:24:38.200 --> 05:24:40.200
Still, things pretty even between

05:24:40.200 --> 05:24:42.200
Bin and Zayas as far as farm is

05:24:42.200 --> 05:24:44.200
concerned towards that topside, but HLE

05:24:44.200 --> 05:24:46.200
should be able to take down this dragon

05:24:46.200 --> 05:24:48.200
and Kanavi claims his tribute

05:24:48.200 --> 05:24:50.200
as he gets that health bar filled up once again.

05:24:50.200 --> 05:24:52.200
It is so problematic though, having

05:24:52.200 --> 05:24:54.200
a swing get this accelerated, because

05:24:54.200 --> 05:24:56.200
Swain rushing the Swiftie boots, then

05:24:56.200 --> 05:24:58.200
going to go into the Rylai's, he goes faster,

05:24:58.200 --> 05:25:00.200
you go slower, you can't escape the

05:25:00.200 --> 05:25:02.200
demonic ascension, and as long as he is on top

05:25:02.200 --> 05:25:04.200
of someone, that thing does not expire.

05:25:04.200 --> 05:25:06.200
So Bin's lane is pretty

05:25:06.200 --> 05:25:08.540
Konami has had a really good early game.

05:25:08.540 --> 05:25:10.040
He's ahead of Shun,

05:25:10.040 --> 05:25:12.080
but Shun just did get another mark,

05:25:12.080 --> 05:25:13.480
I believe on that tops.

05:25:13.480 --> 05:25:14.620
Oh no, so just a second.

05:25:14.620 --> 05:25:16.480
So I'm too, but they do.

05:25:16.480 --> 05:25:18.180
But they are looking topside still for

05:25:18.180 --> 05:25:19.640
an actual play and actual kill,

05:25:19.640 --> 05:25:22.100
but Zayas he's going to back off.

05:25:22.100 --> 05:25:22.840
They make the call.

05:25:22.840 --> 05:25:24.120
Hey, Taliyah is missing.

05:25:24.120 --> 05:25:25.840
They're in fog of war right now,

05:25:25.840 --> 05:25:27.940
and Kindred has camps on the topside,

05:25:27.940 --> 05:25:29.720
so could be in the area as well.

05:25:29.720 --> 05:25:31.320
That's just good comms there,

05:25:31.320 --> 05:25:33.640
and they go for the swap bot lane here,

05:25:33.640 --> 05:25:36.000
recalling and going up top.

05:25:36.000 --> 05:25:39.320
Gumiishi galloping up towards that top side of the map.

05:25:39.320 --> 05:25:42.860
Now Xeus is going to be lumbering his way down towards that bottom side.

05:25:42.860 --> 05:25:48.060
Then should be able to clear out this wave before Gumi does get here and into position.

05:25:48.060 --> 05:25:50.420
So Bin should be able to answer towards that bottom side.

05:25:50.420 --> 05:25:52.860
Teleport at the ready. Hopefully he doesn't have to use it.

05:25:52.860 --> 05:25:56.940
If there is Viper down there actually going to be catching the wave of this swing.

05:25:56.940 --> 05:26:01.140
Exactly. I think they're just going to leave Bin top, but that's always that bad situation where you're a tank.

05:26:01.140 --> 05:26:06.540
You're playing against magic damage, you rush the negatron, and now you're playing against physical damage here.

05:26:06.540 --> 05:26:10.860
And so it is just going to be his job to try to defend this tower as best as he possibly can.

05:26:10.860 --> 05:26:14.300
Kuma was accelerated by that first blood, and now they're looking for Zaeus.

05:26:14.300 --> 05:26:18.660
Yeah, Wither's wall comes in, no flash available, the demonic ascension does bring him up, and let's see.

05:26:18.660 --> 05:26:24.860
Never move connects on tonight, and that wall did not last long enough, on finally makes his way in.

05:26:24.860 --> 05:26:30.980
Zaeus is still alive for a very long time, and will finally be taken down as the grubs are there in trade.

05:26:30.980 --> 05:26:35.980
They bring four people, and this time they can take him down.

05:26:35.980 --> 05:26:39.980
They do give up topside though. That is Grubbs and Kenavi wants more.

05:26:39.980 --> 05:26:42.280
Yeah, we'll see if he can actually pull off a dive. It's four top.

05:26:42.280 --> 05:26:45.980
Yeah, Destiny Gate brings Zeca into the party as well as

05:26:45.980 --> 05:26:48.980
Ben will at least try and pathmaker one of the positions.

05:26:48.980 --> 05:26:52.480
He goes all out, but goes all a little bit too far into the death chamber here,

05:26:52.480 --> 05:26:56.480
as HLLE looked for plates as well with this four stack top.

05:26:56.480 --> 05:26:58.980
Not much of a chance there for Ben in the 1v4,

05:26:58.980 --> 05:27:04.260
but shun got a mark off of the swing and now the mark spawns on the scuttle down on bot side here.

05:27:04.260 --> 05:27:09.860
That's four stacks already. Oh my goodness. Okay, that is going to be a very scary kindred.

05:27:09.860 --> 05:27:13.940
Still HLE in a good position. 1.5k going to be their advantage

05:27:13.940 --> 05:27:18.340
as on will let the trundle go home and there is that fourth mark that we were talking about.

05:27:18.340 --> 05:27:23.460
Yeah and four we talk about four because it is a significant increase in the range on kindred,

05:27:23.460 --> 05:27:27.780
which is why it is so important for the team fighting. And then after you get that first four,

05:27:27.780 --> 05:27:32.120
Every three thereafter do give you additional range, but it is less than that first

05:27:32.680 --> 05:27:38.180
Burst of range you get so shown going to be having a much better time in the team fight now

05:27:38.300 --> 05:27:45.620
Yeah, and we'll see if he can use his cue to dodge the never moves the critical ones and not get locked up because

05:27:46.340 --> 05:27:50.780
Chains you see from like gold card and never moves and ash and seraphine

05:27:51.260 --> 05:27:53.620
Sometimes if you don't get the hits or ultimate

05:27:53.620 --> 05:27:59.940
Before the CC lands, then you never get to hit it, and that can just make Kindred players look like fools.

05:27:59.940 --> 05:28:04.980
There is so much CC layering on HLE that he has to play into. It's not easy.

05:28:04.980 --> 05:28:07.620
No, it's not easy at all. That's exactly what I was going to touch on is.

05:28:07.620 --> 05:28:11.940
Oh, Kanavi puts on in the kennel here as a solosnand. Not quite going to connect onto Grimmie.

05:28:11.940 --> 05:28:15.540
Yashizaka's moving down to Lightseer as well. Everyone moves in.

05:28:15.540 --> 05:28:19.860
As Kanavi, he might be falling, but instead it's going to be ongoing down.

05:28:19.860 --> 05:28:24.360
No turret to be hitting this trundle as he turns his attention towards Viper to light.

05:28:24.360 --> 05:28:27.420
Just barely takes this one up, and Gumiishi is taken down.

05:28:27.420 --> 05:28:29.120
Knight standing his ground.

05:28:29.120 --> 05:28:33.260
Zeke able to sidestep a few of these abilities, but Knight is still very scary.

05:28:33.260 --> 05:28:36.860
And the threaded volley is flying in just barely out of range.

05:28:36.860 --> 05:28:40.060
Is Zeke on this twisted fate as to light with the surround sound,

05:28:40.060 --> 05:28:41.660
is able to get his teammates out of there.

05:28:41.660 --> 05:28:43.560
Wow, the slimmest of margins there.

05:28:43.560 --> 05:28:45.460
Viper decided to play that so aggressively.

05:28:45.460 --> 05:28:48.860
He flashed in to get a rebuttal down to try to turn around that play,

05:28:48.860 --> 05:28:55.340
to try to keep on the live on did go down though and Ben now has shown on this

05:28:55.340 --> 05:28:59.380
side of the map but shown looking for that recall likely has his first item

05:28:59.380 --> 05:29:03.460
completed and at the end of the day it is still a huge advantage for each of the

05:29:03.460 --> 05:29:09.500
gold advantages in every single role for now. Yeah well worth the play here they

05:29:09.500 --> 05:29:14.140
send everybody bottom twisted fate and Seraphine roaming over and with

05:29:14.140 --> 05:29:17.420
auto viper trying to slip into the tower and defend at tower with the

05:29:17.420 --> 05:29:21.180
actually damage here. They just kind of cut them off and they section them off.

05:29:21.180 --> 05:29:24.200
So once that gets here with the gold card to start it out, they go.

05:29:24.220 --> 05:29:27.260
Look at this flash though. Flash rebuttal on the route there.

05:29:27.260 --> 05:29:31.180
Fahe can turn around by getting that route and the wild card reflected there

05:29:31.180 --> 05:29:35.380
onto Zeca, but ends up going down very quickly. And then Guma does such a good

05:29:35.380 --> 05:29:38.820
job with the ghost of avoiding a lot of those threaded ball.

05:29:38.820 --> 05:29:42.100
Zeca came back in, but his gold card expired, which made you think,

05:29:42.100 --> 05:29:46.180
hey, maybe Knight could turn this round. And Gumi is both summoner spells there

05:29:46.180 --> 05:29:47.420
as well. Here we go back to life.

05:29:47.420 --> 05:29:49.580
Yeah, Knight, down here towards his bottom side,

05:29:49.580 --> 05:29:51.180
his A-Chili, grouped up as four.

05:29:51.180 --> 05:29:53.060
The Swain and Cassante are still towards that top side

05:29:53.060 --> 05:29:55.900
as the Weaver's wall doesn't do a whole lot.

05:29:55.900 --> 05:29:58.020
Shun, still looking for angles here

05:29:58.020 --> 05:30:00.660
as we're going to see where the double dragon can be collected.

05:30:00.660 --> 05:30:02.500
Here's the flash goal card is going to connect.

05:30:02.500 --> 05:30:05.060
The arrow lands on top as well.

05:30:05.060 --> 05:30:06.700
Lancer's fight is going to be there

05:30:06.700 --> 05:30:08.820
as the impale doesn't do that much.

05:30:08.820 --> 05:30:11.420
The Lancer's fight is late as Shun.

05:30:11.420 --> 05:30:13.540
I don't know whether it's going to save him here,

05:30:13.540 --> 05:30:17.740
And he's just eaten by the trundle revenge for Kenavi.

05:30:17.740 --> 05:30:20.780
That's going to be the dragon for HLE as well.

05:30:20.780 --> 05:30:23.700
They make the Engage flash gold card,

05:30:23.700 --> 05:30:25.900
and they're able to pull it off, even with Aun trying

05:30:25.900 --> 05:30:28.140
to peel for him and buy time.

05:30:28.140 --> 05:30:29.300
And that's the problem with Kindred.

05:30:29.300 --> 05:30:31.460
The alt is nice, but if you're losing the fight,

05:30:31.460 --> 05:30:32.780
it doesn't do anything, right?

05:30:32.780 --> 05:30:34.460
It doesn't actually just immune you.

05:30:34.460 --> 05:30:35.420
It amunes them too.

05:30:35.420 --> 05:30:37.660
So when you come out and everyone is there,

05:30:37.660 --> 05:30:38.500
he can do nothing.

05:30:38.500 --> 05:30:40.580
And that's why I think he tried to hold it for so long

05:30:40.580 --> 05:30:42.980
to see if they can turn around, burst someone down.

05:30:42.980 --> 05:30:45.580
But it's a CC chain you were talking about earlier, Kobe,

05:30:45.580 --> 05:30:48.220
and that is why you see Zeca flashing so aggressively,

05:30:48.220 --> 05:30:49.700
because he knows it's not just the gold card.

05:30:49.700 --> 05:30:50.860
It's everything coming after it.

05:30:50.860 --> 05:30:53.020
Yeah, they're spamming pings, and they're threatening it.

05:30:53.020 --> 05:30:54.780
And that's why it shouldn't flash as early here.

05:30:54.780 --> 05:30:56.260
And the arrow actually goes through.

05:30:56.260 --> 05:30:58.660
If not for on here trying to peel as well,

05:30:58.660 --> 05:31:01.100
then he would have had a quick death.

05:31:01.100 --> 05:31:02.940
He's still going to have a delayed death, though,

05:31:02.940 --> 05:31:06.180
as the old guys go down and they kill him after.

05:31:06.180 --> 05:31:09.020
And Ben turns up at the teleport, and he's like, well, no.

05:31:09.020 --> 05:31:11.220
It was a little bit of the Donald Glover scenario

05:31:11.220 --> 05:31:13.760
as the place was on fire.

05:31:13.760 --> 05:31:16.000
And so he is not going to commit to anything.

05:31:16.000 --> 05:31:18.960
Still things are somewhat even, at least in farm,

05:31:18.960 --> 05:31:20.040
towards that top side.

05:31:20.040 --> 05:31:23.000
But Gumiishi looking pretty good on this Ash.

05:31:23.000 --> 05:31:26.800
I do want to say a lot of his games on this champion,

05:31:26.800 --> 05:31:29.400
he's been playing painful weak side.

05:31:29.400 --> 05:31:31.760
I think one of the series that he won,

05:31:31.760 --> 05:31:35.480
he won as like 0-7 Ash in the bottom lane.

05:31:35.480 --> 05:31:37.560
They still won though because it creates space

05:31:37.560 --> 05:31:38.840
for the rest of the team.

05:31:38.840 --> 05:31:44.280
Zeca now gonna get caught up by this Scana thrown back by Knight as well as the arrow gets flashed just

05:31:44.280 --> 05:31:49.400
gorgeously. Zeca's got a gold guard though. There's nothing on Kandu about this as a Halon

05:31:49.400 --> 05:31:54.680
played Scana and he will be taken out. I mean it's so interesting right because Guma is always

05:31:54.680 --> 05:31:59.560
looked at as that weak side player but think about the Zaya game. It was non-stop gangsta down there.

05:31:59.560 --> 05:32:04.440
This game as well. Kanabi's down there early. They are seeing that Guma has been their best player

05:32:04.440 --> 05:32:08.040
I feel like today and they're trying to feed the hot hand. I mean after that Katelyn performance

05:32:08.040 --> 05:32:10.040
you would not blame them.

05:32:10.040 --> 05:32:14.040
Another play turned around by HLE and now they're the ones with the move.

05:32:14.040 --> 05:32:19.040
Kanavi here in with the extra ward and they're going to see Shun and back off.

05:32:19.040 --> 05:32:25.040
I feel like Kanavi is going to be such a problem. This Trundle is getting so accelerated and going to be even tankier.

05:32:25.040 --> 05:32:29.040
Speak of the devil, the Impale is going to come through. Shun will arrive.

05:32:29.040 --> 05:32:34.040
It isn't actually going to be enough as Kanavi just flashes on top of him, takes the King's tribute.

05:32:34.040 --> 05:32:38.540
die and the shutdown goes over to Shun. That could be very high value here as

05:32:38.540 --> 05:32:43.280
BLG will be relying on this kindred later on. I'm not gonna lie I think that

05:32:43.280 --> 05:32:46.740
was horrible for Kanavi. You're spending your flash your ult to kill

05:32:46.740 --> 05:32:52.720
support and give a shutdown to Shun and a mark as well. Shun is on six stacks now.

05:32:52.720 --> 05:32:57.000
Kanavi kind of lost his mind on that one. Also good reactions from Maun. Under

05:32:57.000 --> 05:33:00.560
pressure you know there's trouble is beating on you. He doesn't panic. He buys

05:33:00.560 --> 05:33:05.680
the time. Hits him with the ult, into the E, into the wall, around the corner here, so that he can

05:33:05.680 --> 05:33:10.640
get Shun, that counter kill angle, and using his flash to kind of force that full commitment.

05:33:11.600 --> 05:33:14.400
Yeah, and now they're going to get Herald off the back of this too, so the

05:33:15.200 --> 05:33:19.520
it's kind of keep on coming. Kanavi punished theory heavily for that, and I was really

05:33:19.520 --> 05:33:22.880
worried for BLG, and that Kanavi felt like he was running away with the game. He's getting

05:33:22.880 --> 05:33:26.560
ahead of the pace. You're going to be able to steal stats from Ben, and if he gets too strong,

05:33:26.560 --> 05:33:30.720
You just can't kill him, but now you give the shutdown to shun you give another mark to shun

05:33:30.720 --> 05:33:34.400
You give the herald to shun this guy's gonna be a problem. It's some tunnel vision

05:33:34.400 --> 05:33:36.200
You know sometimes you decide ahead of time alright

05:33:36.200 --> 05:33:43.600
I'm killing this scarner like I I can run him down and then the rest of the team collapsing here and picking up extra gold

05:33:43.600 --> 05:33:46.040
As he said, you know HLA are still definitely ahead

05:33:46.040 --> 05:33:50.560
But it is something to keep in mind if there's the comeback for BLG in this game

05:33:50.680 --> 05:33:55.000
It would be HL these last yeah a lot of plates available on the map as well

05:33:55.000 --> 05:34:01.000
So this Rift Herald could really do some damage to the gold lead that HLE put together and has stretched out to about

05:34:01.400 --> 05:34:05.180
3000 but one thing that BLG have been really impressive at is

05:34:05.880 --> 05:34:09.240
taking control of a losing game state and

05:34:09.960 --> 05:34:13.940
Slowly eking back those advantages and when you have this kindred

05:34:14.240 --> 05:34:19.840
It's going to be a great idea to do so because she will get so much more powerful as this game goes on HLE

05:34:20.200 --> 05:34:23.400
Trying to set up for a pick, but they're not gonna go for it just yet

05:34:23.400 --> 05:34:30.920
We had eight members here across the map for a fight over a potential Raptors take there both teams ready to go

05:34:30.920 --> 05:34:37.080
But BLG had a reddit they play defensively they get the continued farm here for shun and he has been emphasizing the farm

05:34:37.080 --> 05:34:41.680
Well, not he had taken some opportunities to skip camps to go for early Gangs and as a result

05:34:41.680 --> 05:34:46.360
He's done almost two full levels and he's lost the gold lead and the Herald is still in pocket

05:34:46.360 --> 05:34:52.160
So this has been a bad stretch of play for HLE, but their other members are still very strong

05:34:52.160 --> 05:34:57.720
Yeah, well, this is going to be a turret that should fall for Ben as never mind.

05:34:57.720 --> 05:35:01.400
It takes him a little while longer, finally does come on through the backdoor bonus, not

05:35:01.400 --> 05:35:03.480
going to quite be enough to keep that turret alive.

05:35:03.480 --> 05:35:07.360
The Rilise though you can see is becoming more and more annoying here in this lane as

05:35:07.360 --> 05:35:11.000
Ben is just desperately trying to keep being able to walk.

05:35:11.000 --> 05:35:16.680
Yeah, the team fights are going to make it hard for a lot of BLG to walk because with

05:35:16.680 --> 05:35:21.720
the Ash, with the Seraphine and the Swain here, so much to inhibit everyone.

05:35:21.720 --> 05:35:24.220
We'll see about the grouping as they approach the dragon though.

05:35:24.220 --> 05:35:26.420
That's going to be the thing that does cause it.

05:35:26.420 --> 05:35:31.120
This one approaching in 10 seconds and HLE already have control wards there.

05:35:31.120 --> 05:35:35.320
One of the really nice things for Swain in these melee matchups too is how many soul stacks you get.

05:35:35.320 --> 05:35:40.020
He has 24 stacks already. There's a ton of additional health here for that Swain.

05:35:40.020 --> 05:35:42.120
Yeah, he is going to be able to take this turret himself.

05:35:42.120 --> 05:35:45.520
So that minion wave is not going to go down this time around.

05:35:45.520 --> 05:35:49.920
Maybe in an awkward spot, but Kanabi is going to respect him this time.

05:35:49.920 --> 05:35:54.920
on thrown rocks around, and otherwise not too much going to come of it as Zekka towards the bottom side of this fight

05:35:55.120 --> 05:36:01.420
waiting on teleports, waiting on a reset here for Zayas as well. He might have Leandri's off this back, which would be absolutely massive.

05:36:01.620 --> 05:36:02.820
Guess that?

05:36:02.820 --> 05:36:09.820
Back interrupted though by Bin towards the top side of the map, and now BLG thinking that this might be an opportunity to go for some sort of fight.

05:36:10.320 --> 05:36:16.820
Rocks flying through, but the poke isn't necessarily landing as now the Rift Held is going to pop out a teleport in from the swain.

05:36:16.820 --> 05:36:19.900
as the weavers wall comes on through.

05:36:19.900 --> 05:36:22.400
Zayas just gets over the top of the wizard of Empire,

05:36:22.400 --> 05:36:23.560
they never move!

05:36:23.560 --> 05:36:25.400
My God, they're damaged!

05:36:25.400 --> 05:36:27.240
And everyone is gonna explode.

05:36:27.240 --> 05:36:29.400
Chun is in their lambs for a spider.

05:36:29.400 --> 05:36:31.900
Zon gets into the back line, they take down Grumiyushi,

05:36:31.900 --> 05:36:34.400
but it's this swaying that's the problem.

05:36:34.400 --> 05:36:37.280
Anyone never moving, it's Zayas has you in his sights.

05:36:37.280 --> 05:36:40.380
Now BLG trying to escape, and Sekou will just hold on.

05:36:40.380 --> 05:36:41.820
In position.

05:36:41.820 --> 05:36:43.920
Kanabi gonna hit him with a bat,

05:36:43.920 --> 05:36:46.060
and down goes the skarner again.

05:36:46.060 --> 05:36:53.020
and I have seen this game before back to back days down a game one two for HLE

05:36:53.020 --> 05:36:58.220
the swing comes out from Zayas and it is heroics from the top later against

05:36:58.220 --> 05:37:05.500
Lyon and again over here against BLG that never moved change the game gets

05:37:05.500 --> 05:37:10.060
them so pointed if you got a cloud soul on swing good luck ever getting away

05:37:10.060 --> 05:37:14.140
with this guy yeah BLG they're trying to keep the you know the mail in front of

05:37:14.140 --> 05:37:19.380
the Ash Serafine here looking for the Roboto, but the teleport from Zayas, you know that

05:37:19.380 --> 05:37:24.140
arrival is going to be devastating. So here's the look at it. And once he does it, it doesn't

05:37:24.140 --> 05:37:30.460
matter what else happened. Huge never move ultimate and nobody can get out.

05:37:30.460 --> 05:37:35.100
Just beautifully played. They get that pull onto Viper and Knight. Zaka chases down Knight.

05:37:35.100 --> 05:37:38.820
Even though Ben and on do a good job taking out the Ash, it just doesn't matter because

05:37:38.820 --> 05:37:42.620
you're never going to have enough damage to kill off Zayas. The pull is big for the

05:37:42.620 --> 05:37:47.820
CC and it's huge for the healing that comes through as well. They just can't take him out.

05:37:47.820 --> 05:37:53.260
Oh, Arrow connects on tonight! The vision of Empire is gonna do a fair bit of damage, but Kanabi turning up.

05:37:53.260 --> 05:38:00.060
That's going to be the biggest problem. Zayas with some lightning hands, takes out the Scanner, now the rest of HLE are moving forward.

05:38:00.060 --> 05:38:04.860
Kanabi is she gonna use the flip back in order to close distance? That's kind of funny.

05:38:04.860 --> 05:38:08.620
It's the light is gonna get taken down. Ulti from Viper, still doing a whole lot of work.

05:38:08.620 --> 05:38:14.040
That is knight at about 200 health, it's a double kill for Viper, the flick back comes in, and they've overextended!

05:38:14.040 --> 05:38:18.660
Xayah's still trying to chase them down because there's Zeca moving in,

05:38:18.660 --> 05:38:24.340
but HLE, I think they just need to, you know, cut their losses at this point as Zeca is gonna try and get on top of Knight.

05:38:24.340 --> 05:38:29.560
He finds it as there's a demonic ascension, but he ascends a little too far,

05:38:29.560 --> 05:38:36.000
and now Zeca needs to find this angle, Viper is for a bottom, but it's a double, the Wild Cards takes out Shun,

05:38:36.000 --> 05:38:38.760
But Viper is going to be there and he's going to take him out.

05:38:38.760 --> 05:38:43.040
It's a fight, shouldn't have to y'all, but didn't think he was going to get hit by the Wildcarts there.

05:38:43.040 --> 05:38:44.880
But it was the light who started the snowballs.

05:38:44.880 --> 05:38:49.640
He flashed forward with on the skills and allowed BLG to turn around.

05:38:49.640 --> 05:38:51.560
What was a fight that looked like it was HLEs?

05:38:51.560 --> 05:38:52.640
It was actually crazy.

05:38:52.640 --> 05:38:55.320
Yeah, because you see the Trunder walking down and you think immediately,

05:38:55.320 --> 05:38:57.560
alright, Zayus and Konami are going to be able to turn this.

05:38:57.560 --> 05:38:59.560
Guma and Delight have the inside route.

05:38:59.560 --> 05:39:01.960
The teleport from Viper though is huge.

05:39:01.960 --> 05:39:06.660
Look at Viper around the corner, on the Mel, is going to be pretty big.

05:39:06.660 --> 05:39:11.660
Yeah, that flash from Delight, he thought he had him, but he whiffs and then Shun just takes him down for free.

05:39:11.660 --> 05:39:14.460
And look at the Seraphine Ultimate cooldown, it was only a couple seconds away.

05:39:14.460 --> 05:39:18.160
If he just slow played, it would be such a different fight, such a different game.

05:39:18.160 --> 05:39:22.960
But he does not, he goes forward, and they have enough damage to get more and more kills.

05:39:22.960 --> 05:39:27.360
HLE lucky that Shun didn't get that ult off, or it would have been even worse,

05:39:27.360 --> 05:39:30.960
because he would have been able to survive without Zeka getting that kill.

05:39:30.960 --> 05:39:35.400
It looks kind of like Danny forgot which team he was coaching because I thought it went pretty well for BLG

05:39:35.400 --> 05:39:39.680
But he's not exactly psyched about it 3000 gold the advantage for HLE right now

05:39:39.760 --> 05:39:42.160
So we have a look at the coinbase gold grind

05:39:42.840 --> 05:39:49.040
Zekker doing a pretty decent job cheating money out of summoner's rift is on might be in trouble

05:39:49.040 --> 05:39:51.040
Zekker does have that gold card locked in

05:39:51.320 --> 05:39:55.960
The BLG I mean with Viper if he has rebuttal you cannot hit him with a gold card

05:39:55.960 --> 05:39:58.200
So that is not going to be an option here for HLE

05:39:58.200 --> 05:40:01.960
I think Black Pismell is going to be very important as this game goes on him and Shun

05:40:02.400 --> 05:40:07.460
Going to be pivotal. Yeah, I mean shouldn't he's definitely kicking himself for not dodging the wildcards

05:40:07.460 --> 05:40:13.820
There's so many ways you could dodge those walk dodging them cue a different angle dodging them or old evil you're talking about

05:40:13.820 --> 05:40:20.040
But maybe that that counter kill is going to be a big difference because dragon soul is coming up in just one minute again

05:40:20.040 --> 05:40:23.800
And we got a track summoners no flashes up for anyone right now

05:40:23.800 --> 05:40:29.400
And the summoners that do come back in time for this dragon are gonna be really big one just came back up for on

05:40:29.560 --> 05:40:32.760
They're gonna go straight on to the Baron. It does get spotted there

05:40:33.400 --> 05:40:37.120
BLG will have to pull off for now you think but they're right back on it

05:40:37.120 --> 05:40:42.440
All right, then I'll be clearing out vision where he can on his going down exceptionally low to this Baron

05:40:42.440 --> 05:40:48.520
He's gonna have to go for a reset as the Hawkshot does spot him out out of turret going to be taken here by HLE as

05:40:48.520 --> 05:40:50.940
as PLG, a little bit optimistic on the Baron call.

05:40:50.940 --> 05:40:54.400
Awn needs to sit by some minions that even get a catch up experience.

05:40:54.400 --> 05:40:56.800
He has so low level in this game,

05:40:56.800 --> 05:41:00.720
you need to abuse that catch up experience and just sit by minions that are dying.

05:41:00.720 --> 05:41:01.840
I mean, he's level seven.

05:41:01.840 --> 05:41:04.060
You're looking over at Zayac at 15.

05:41:04.060 --> 05:41:04.600
Oh my goodness.

05:41:04.600 --> 05:41:05.900
Zekka, 15.

05:41:05.900 --> 05:41:06.660
This guy is-

05:41:06.660 --> 05:41:07.720
Sit by some minions.

05:41:07.720 --> 05:41:08.160
Yeah.

05:41:08.160 --> 05:41:10.400
I agree. He needs to just start soaking some XP.

05:41:10.400 --> 05:41:11.400
They're going to go right back forward.

05:41:11.400 --> 05:41:14.240
This is warded out, but they just feel they don't have to set up at the dragons.

05:41:14.240 --> 05:41:16.160
They're trying to force HLE to come to them.

05:41:16.160 --> 05:41:18.700
Let's see where the HLE can actually get here in time.

05:41:18.700 --> 05:41:20.700
Azaz just moving into the pit.

05:41:20.700 --> 05:41:23.740
Can Abi going to join in the Weaver's Wall just to block them off as Zekka

05:41:23.740 --> 05:41:27.900
walking around the side on in a lot of trouble as he's pulled back by the Nevermovers.

05:41:27.900 --> 05:41:31.900
So like the grabs that one, the arrow straight into Ben is going to be raining down the arrows

05:41:31.900 --> 05:41:34.400
and the AoE is just revolting.

05:41:34.400 --> 05:41:41.560
HLE have a round of them and they'll take the free Baron and look to set up Silver Scrapes.

05:41:41.560 --> 05:41:45.160
They're going to take the Baron, they're going to take the fight, they're going to take the game.

05:41:45.160 --> 05:41:48.760
It feels like it is a game by Mendejon.

05:41:49.400 --> 05:41:55.000
The crowd erupts here as they know they're going to get some more entertainment.

05:41:55.000 --> 05:42:00.840
Zayze teleported to the bottom side to get more work done on the towers, but it's not over yet.

05:42:01.640 --> 05:42:07.000
Yeah, on shows up, thankfully level 7, so was able to get back out onto the map exceptionally quickly.

05:42:07.000 --> 05:42:11.400
And soaks up some minions that were joining the bottom lane by Azaz.

05:42:11.400 --> 05:42:15.400
But that is going to be Seoul as well for Hummer Live Esports.

05:42:15.400 --> 05:42:18.520
And this is a TF-Ash composition, right?

05:42:18.520 --> 05:42:20.760
You can never surprise them.

05:42:20.760 --> 05:42:22.160
They press Destiny.

05:42:22.160 --> 05:42:23.960
You know, you can see everyone on the map.

05:42:23.960 --> 05:42:25.720
Hawkshot just sails by.

05:42:25.720 --> 05:42:27.600
You can see everyone on the map.

05:42:27.600 --> 05:42:29.200
And the priceless moment of the game

05:42:29.200 --> 05:42:31.440
will be a free Cloud Drake setting up

05:42:31.440 --> 05:42:34.560
all of that movement speed for a Swain.

05:42:34.560 --> 05:42:36.960
And this Weaver's Wall, I mean, it's a block shot.

05:42:36.960 --> 05:42:39.840
I rather on on the other side, on tries to flash over,

05:42:39.840 --> 05:42:44.980
but he gets pillared out of his each balls in back he dies for three the anti synergy there and then look at that

05:42:44.980 --> 05:42:51.920
Seraphine all through the whole team exactly they bounce it off Swain's head and it hits everybody on BLG

05:42:52.040 --> 05:42:54.040
They crushed BLG

05:42:54.640 --> 05:43:02.520
Against the Baron wall there and that is going to be HLE taking the massive massive lead in this game

05:43:03.720 --> 05:43:09.600
Not over just yet, but certainly feeling like that was the masterstroke here by HLE

05:43:09.840 --> 05:43:13.760
using the Baron now. They'll see whether they can break open the base and one

05:43:13.760 --> 05:43:17.040
in the turret is up and available in that mid lane. Kanavi is now moving that

05:43:17.040 --> 05:43:21.340
one forward. The BLG, to say that they're on the ropes feels like a bit of an

05:43:21.340 --> 05:43:25.760
understatement here. As on, yeah he's just not gonna get over that wall

05:43:25.760 --> 05:43:30.140
unfortunately. At level nine now at least as Kanavi throws down the cannel. The

05:43:30.140 --> 05:43:34.000
arrow is gonna sail by. The flick back doesn't quite work now. Zayas just going

05:43:34.000 --> 05:43:38.160
gold and buying all of that space. But Ben throws him into the wall! The swing is

05:43:38.160 --> 05:43:42.600
taken down and Viper is able to grab that kill even on is able to survive that

05:43:42.600 --> 05:43:47.520
takes a Baron off the map and really slows down HLE. Very risky move but a

05:43:47.520 --> 05:43:50.700
good aggressive one there from BLG it looks like most of BLG were saying okay

05:43:50.700 --> 05:43:53.960
kite back let it inspire bin goes in though and helps them take him out

05:43:53.960 --> 05:43:57.600
Jun in trouble. Yeah Gumiuchi looking for an angle there but doesn't quite get it

05:43:57.600 --> 05:44:02.640
Solis now not going to quiet land either but BLG still has some fight left in them

05:44:02.640 --> 05:44:07.560
as the siege minion just kind of being baby baby sat and the Inatar will fall

05:44:07.560 --> 05:44:12.560
And Rebel Baron Powerplay does push above that 800 that you get from just killing it,

05:44:12.560 --> 05:44:16.560
but it is not the most impactful we've seen so far this tournament.

05:44:16.560 --> 05:44:18.560
Critical defense from BLG there.

05:44:18.560 --> 05:44:25.560
Being able to take down Zayas means you're able to stop this game ending possibility right in its tracks.

05:44:25.560 --> 05:44:29.560
Italy have to call it at just getting the outer towers there.

05:44:29.560 --> 05:44:31.560
And BLG by themselves some more time.

05:44:31.560 --> 05:44:41.560
The Viper just bought two large rods, so he just got paid and is going to be close to that death cap now is really the only one with a significant lead on his team.

05:44:41.560 --> 05:44:49.560
Overall down a massive amount of gold plus the cloud. So this game feels like it's it's 99% in HLE's hands.

05:44:49.560 --> 05:44:57.560
But BLG are searching for that 1% chance searching for that miracle and it's going to have to be a miracle.

05:44:57.560 --> 05:45:02.360
It's going to have to be a multi-man in pale, into a seismic shove, or a multi-man solar snare.

05:45:02.360 --> 05:45:05.260
It has to be something where you catch more than just one.

05:45:05.260 --> 05:45:10.960
And they have to avoid being picked off by twisted fate, with Ash Arrows flying down the map too.

05:45:10.960 --> 05:45:17.360
There's not a lot of safe territory for BOG to set up in, or create a surprise play from.

05:45:17.360 --> 05:45:22.760
Well, Kanabi is now just going to run towards the enemy jungle, as he does like to do.

05:45:22.760 --> 05:45:26.660
I do like Gamushi's build here as well. He's got so much damage.

05:45:26.660 --> 05:45:29.460
It's like he said, well, I'm basically playing Caitlyn.

05:45:29.460 --> 05:45:31.660
I'm going to build a Phantom Dancer instead of a Rapid Fire.

05:45:31.660 --> 05:45:34.160
It's not going to be the Kraken Slayers that we have seen.

05:45:34.160 --> 05:45:37.660
It's just going to be that big damage that comes through from this Ash.

05:45:37.660 --> 05:45:41.660
It's a coin-based gold grind. Once again, Delight, yeah,

05:45:41.660 --> 05:45:45.660
is very far ahead of Aon, who is still definitely on struggle streak.

05:45:45.660 --> 05:45:48.660
Yaro is not going to quite find the mark here. Neither does the Beat Drop.

05:45:48.660 --> 05:45:52.660
So HLE will have to back away, Shun just taking a little bit of poke damage.

05:45:52.660 --> 05:45:55.660
Yeah, going to take some poke damage. Can't really get access to his jungle at this point of the game.

05:45:55.660 --> 05:45:57.660
of the game. Look at all the

05:45:57.660 --> 05:45:59.660
wards from HLE on that topside here.

05:45:59.660 --> 05:46:01.660
Shun just trying to get whatever

05:46:01.660 --> 05:46:03.660
goals he can. They know they have to

05:46:03.660 --> 05:46:05.660
scrounge up as much golden experience

05:46:05.660 --> 05:46:07.660
as possible to have any chance

05:46:07.660 --> 05:46:09.660
in a game like this, but they want to

05:46:09.660 --> 05:46:11.660
make HLE work for it.

05:46:11.660 --> 05:46:13.660
Navi's just moving so incredibly quickly.

05:46:13.660 --> 05:46:15.660
Clouds all working out, not to mention

05:46:15.660 --> 05:46:17.660
the cloud drift there as well. So HLE

05:46:17.660 --> 05:46:19.660
overloading everywhere is what it feels

05:46:19.660 --> 05:46:21.660
like. IndividuTarget didn't get

05:46:21.660 --> 05:46:23.660
taken down relatively low, but BLG doing

05:46:23.660 --> 05:46:27.660
a decent job in defending for now.

05:46:27.660 --> 05:46:30.660
This inhibitor towards the bottom side has already been taken.

05:46:30.660 --> 05:46:33.660
Zeke just wanted to deal with this inhib if he can.

05:46:33.660 --> 05:46:38.660
Been still here on the defense as another wave is going to congoline in.

05:46:38.660 --> 05:46:43.660
HLE not wanting to take too many risks here as they look for the end of the game.

05:46:43.660 --> 05:46:50.660
Baron has worn off and the siege becomes a lot more difficult now with all of these minions basically dying as they turn up.

05:46:50.660 --> 05:46:54.260
That's on looking for an angle, but immediately turns that car around does not want anything

05:46:54.260 --> 05:46:58.820
to do with it as it as it turns out. Again, it's going to be difficult for them to move.

05:46:58.820 --> 05:47:03.180
The pressure from bottom side is relentless. You know, Zeca, they finish off, open up the

05:47:03.180 --> 05:47:08.700
inhibitor on bottom. So the super minions will be flooding in as the Baron is spawning.

05:47:08.700 --> 05:47:13.900
So good reset timer here from HLE. They can just use the super minion pressure bottom

05:47:13.900 --> 05:47:18.860
side, go set up around that Baron. And again, they've got Ash Hawk shot. They have twisted

05:47:18.860 --> 05:47:22.860
and many tools to turn off the Baron and make picks.

05:47:22.860 --> 05:47:23.860
I'll teleport in.

05:47:23.860 --> 05:47:25.860
Shun wanted to take down that Gromp,

05:47:25.860 --> 05:47:28.860
but immediately he's followed by everyone on HLE.

05:47:28.860 --> 05:47:30.860
The Lambser's fight comes in.

05:47:30.860 --> 05:47:32.860
The Nevermove connects.

05:47:32.860 --> 05:47:34.860
But Shun is going to live for the moment.

05:47:34.860 --> 05:47:36.860
No Lambser's fight though for the next fight,

05:47:36.860 --> 05:47:39.860
if it is going to be around this Baron in 17 seconds time.

05:47:39.860 --> 05:47:41.860
That is actually so critical that he survived though.

05:47:41.860 --> 05:47:44.860
Otherwise that would have been the Baron gone for sure.

05:47:44.860 --> 05:47:47.860
It's going to be a difficult fight though as he has lost his flash,

05:47:47.860 --> 05:47:52.460
Flash has lost his ult, and they were already in a really tough spot.

05:47:52.460 --> 05:47:56.060
Knight also used the Weavers' wall there, trying to help him out.

05:47:56.060 --> 05:47:59.060
Should be a little bit of an ult advantage though here for HLE.

05:47:59.060 --> 05:48:01.860
Can I begin to work on this Baron alongside Gumiishi?

05:48:01.860 --> 05:48:05.260
This will not last very long with BLG in position.

05:48:05.260 --> 05:48:11.260
Shun still making his way in, as Zekka could be in a little bit of trouble getting danced on by Shun right now.

05:48:11.260 --> 05:48:14.660
As the solos now only landing onto One's ass, happy to tank that one up.

05:48:14.660 --> 05:48:19.260
now BLG trying to walk the tightrope of this teamfight.

05:48:19.260 --> 05:48:22.380
And Zayas just walking forward into them.

05:48:22.380 --> 05:48:23.660
Still it's going to be the pushback.

05:48:23.660 --> 05:48:25.900
Gwad Pateks down, Vuma to stop this fight up.

05:48:25.900 --> 05:48:27.780
And Zayas goes golden.

05:48:27.780 --> 05:48:29.940
They've gotten rid of Shun who didn't have that last respite

05:48:29.940 --> 05:48:30.900
from before.

05:48:30.900 --> 05:48:33.180
And Jolite looks for the angle towards tonight.

05:48:33.180 --> 05:48:34.620
He's trying to dance away from them,

05:48:34.620 --> 05:48:36.060
and it's not going to work.

05:48:36.060 --> 05:48:36.860
Ben falls.

05:48:36.860 --> 05:48:38.820
Kenavi is going to aid him.

05:48:38.820 --> 05:48:41.420
And Zayas finds the angle on tonight.

05:48:41.420 --> 05:48:47.820
And on just fighting again, Zeca, but he will be going down and HLE, they're just looking to finish off the game now.

05:48:47.820 --> 05:48:54.220
It's Kanavi, complete CA's, and sets up Silver Scrapes here at the MSI final.

05:48:54.220 --> 05:48:59.620
HLE runs them over in the fight of fight, and take us to that game five.

05:48:59.620 --> 05:49:07.820
What an incredible performance, the bounce back from HLE, it is not going to be that 3-1 once again.

05:49:07.820 --> 05:49:14.060
as they will take down the Nexus and make us go the distance here in Dijon.

05:49:14.060 --> 05:49:18.460
We'll take a short break. When we get back, this one's gonna get broken down.

05:50:37.820 --> 05:50:39.820
I

05:52:07.820 --> 05:52:19.100
into the pit cannot be going to join in the weavers well just to block them off

05:52:19.100 --> 05:52:23.180
the Zekker walking round the side on in a lot of trouble as he's pulled back by

05:52:23.180 --> 05:52:26.180
the never-moving slide the grabs up on the arrow straight into the pin as the

05:52:26.180 --> 05:52:30.180
raining down the arrows and the ALE is just revolving!

05:52:30.180 --> 05:52:37.180
Hey, Chely! Have her out of there, but don't take the free Baron and look to set up Silver Scrapes!

05:52:37.180 --> 05:52:41.180
They're gonna take the Baron, they're gonna take the fight, they're gonna take the game!

05:52:41.180 --> 05:52:44.180
It feels like it is a game by Medellion!

05:52:47.180 --> 05:52:52.180
We're going all the way here in Phaedon one last time at Silver Scrapes,

05:52:52.180 --> 05:52:56.500
Silver Scribes, League Classic Silver Scribes, BLG actually, we're eating good!

05:52:56.500 --> 05:53:05.180
LCK vs LPL as well, Zeyu's Rade Boss Birdman gets paid, game 4 Swain, 2 days in a row to keep them alive.

05:53:05.180 --> 05:53:14.680
3 titles on the line, he's got back up 4% and Zayas W, she in, oh my word! The series keeps delivering!

05:53:14.680 --> 05:53:20.480
And how hard the BLG fights are trying to keep it, cause they are so right that Swain, I'm killable!

05:53:20.480 --> 05:53:24.700
They tried everything, they were bouncing around, pulling him in, knocking it back out again,

05:53:24.700 --> 05:53:28.200
hitting him with Sun, hitting him with Rocks, nothing could kill him.

05:53:28.200 --> 05:53:30.200
Did I say my unkillable top lane king?

05:53:30.200 --> 05:53:31.200
Yeah.

05:53:31.200 --> 05:53:34.600
Well, I said it's hard to find the drafts, but he found the drafts.

05:53:34.600 --> 05:53:39.760
They have said it, those drafts is what mattered here against BLG and they made it happen,

05:53:39.760 --> 05:53:44.040
they kept on fighting and they're taking us to game five here and Jad, I want to ask you,

05:53:44.040 --> 05:53:48.080
you work one of the first ones to believe in them, what are we looking at here on the

05:53:48.080 --> 05:53:49.080
side of HLE?

05:53:49.080 --> 05:53:53.520
Champion-wise, we know that when it comes to this game 5, this is what it comes down to.

05:53:53.520 --> 05:53:56.820
How much you're gonna be able to innovate here against Piers?

05:53:56.820 --> 05:53:59.380
I think it's fascinating what's happened so far in this series.

05:53:59.380 --> 05:54:02.080
So the reason we have so many top lane champions still available

05:54:02.080 --> 05:54:05.280
is Naur and Jace have basically been perma-ban along with the Vayne.

05:54:05.280 --> 05:54:08.180
But then at the same time, we thought we were gonna have a lot of mage bots,

05:54:08.180 --> 05:54:11.680
which we didn't end up getting, I think for reasons like we just saw.

05:54:11.680 --> 05:54:15.980
If there's not enough sustained damage to kill a hyper-scaler in the top lane,

05:54:15.980 --> 05:54:16.980
you end up losing the game.

05:54:16.980 --> 05:54:21.980
So, with that being said, that means this Game 5 draft can have a lot of familiar favourites.

05:54:21.980 --> 05:54:26.780
Jace and N'R I think are permanently gone, but Sion Mundo, you can't leave angles for that.

05:54:26.780 --> 05:54:30.660
You need to make sure you have enough damage in your team comp to prevent Zeus from doing that again.

05:54:30.660 --> 05:54:31.260
Zaeus.

05:54:31.260 --> 05:54:33.260
My biggest worry is that of Nidia for Zaeus.

05:54:33.260 --> 05:54:36.420
I think he's been absolutely fantastic on this entire tournament.

05:54:36.420 --> 05:54:41.060
And as well, we already had that ban going towards it in that second rotation of the last game.

05:54:41.060 --> 05:54:46.940
I think it's a very clear worry for BLG that this bird could be the word here for HLE.

05:54:46.940 --> 05:54:48.860
And we set it up at the beginning of the day.

05:54:48.860 --> 05:54:52.180
Whatever HL you can do, BLG can do better.

05:54:52.180 --> 05:54:54.300
Now, what else do they have, TD?

05:54:54.300 --> 05:54:55.460
I mean, I'm looking back at it.

05:54:55.460 --> 05:54:57.700
They got to worry about the Kog'Maw Lulu on the opposite side,

05:54:57.700 --> 05:54:59.860
but you still have so many of these proactive early supports.

05:54:59.860 --> 05:55:01.300
I didn't even know there was an interview support.

05:55:01.300 --> 05:55:02.580
I missed that one.

05:55:02.580 --> 05:55:04.740
I sincerely hope we do not see that.

05:55:04.740 --> 05:55:06.620
But look, I still think they have tons of playmaking tools.

05:55:06.620 --> 05:55:09.900
A lot of champions left to allow on to get out of lane.

05:55:09.900 --> 05:55:12.940
But that last game really can't afford to get Tilted

05:55:12.940 --> 05:55:13.780
after something like that.

05:55:13.780 --> 05:55:15.900
Have to stay composed because they fought so well

05:55:15.900 --> 05:55:21.180
to come back in it and really again the gigapix from Zayas. I wasn't a believer at the start of the day

05:55:21.180 --> 05:55:25.820
but setting Bin up feels like it's been so important partially because it's been a bit of a rough

05:55:25.820 --> 05:55:30.300
series for him overall. He's been super aggressive and if he's in another matchup that is so volatile

05:55:30.300 --> 05:55:34.620
where if he makes a single mistake I can see game five falling apart. The Night Staples are still

05:55:34.620 --> 05:55:39.740
up and available right. You look towards the LeBlanc, the Syndra, the Akali still there as well

05:55:39.740 --> 05:55:43.500
and it feels like he's been one of the players that we've been keeping around to make the difference

05:55:43.500 --> 05:55:45.260
across the course of this series,

05:55:45.260 --> 05:55:46.980
and I think this is where it's gonna come down to.

05:55:46.980 --> 05:55:49.180
Like, there's been several breaks on either side,

05:55:49.180 --> 05:55:50.660
it's been who has been stepping up,

05:55:50.660 --> 05:55:51.780
and now it's gonna come down to

05:55:51.780 --> 05:55:53.380
how do you enable them in that trap.

05:55:53.380 --> 05:55:55.180
And I wonder what Danny's cooking,

05:55:55.180 --> 05:55:58.120
because he really wants first pick in this game five,

05:55:58.120 --> 05:55:59.980
which also means he's gonna have

05:55:59.980 --> 05:56:01.980
to blind pick Bin's top layer.

05:56:01.980 --> 05:56:03.300
So they're putting a lot of eggs

05:56:03.300 --> 05:56:06.180
and being able to secure, like, strong early games,

05:56:06.180 --> 05:56:08.660
set up a power pick with their bands.

05:56:08.660 --> 05:56:11.900
He's been the best drafter average at this tournament,

05:56:11.900 --> 05:56:16.900
So I trust but I find that really fascinating that they're going to be setting up for a Zeyu's counter pick.

05:56:16.900 --> 05:56:21.900
When you look at Ben, you look at something volatile, potentially, especially when it's you that matchup against Zeyu's.

05:56:21.900 --> 05:56:27.900
But if you want to have stability on the side of BLG, you said it, Dagda, I'm looking at Knight and I'm looking at Shun as well.

05:56:27.900 --> 05:56:32.900
They're the two players who brought success, especially in those H&E matchups.

05:56:32.900 --> 05:56:35.900
Yeah, they have been the standouts for me a lot here today.

05:56:35.900 --> 05:56:40.860
on supporting Sean, but Sean has been doing so much work on the Jarvan, flashing away from some of

05:56:40.860 --> 05:56:46.140
these engages from the Qiyana, having these incredible performances. Unfortunately, his pocket pick

05:56:46.140 --> 05:56:50.700
of the Kindred did not work out from him in that last game, but when BLG have succeeded,

05:56:50.700 --> 05:56:56.060
and it's been off the back of him, finding success in the jungle, leading that code in towards Nite,

05:56:56.060 --> 05:57:00.860
and now he's been able to perform on these control mages. It has to happen here again

05:57:00.860 --> 05:57:02.700
if BLG want to try and pick up that win.

05:57:02.700 --> 05:57:04.740
Look, I just want some melee picks for the mid lane.

05:57:04.740 --> 05:57:08.140
Give me the Zacca Yone, give me the Akali's, give me the Silas's.

05:57:08.140 --> 05:57:12.460
I want to see these two duke it out, because again, all day we've been talking about where we thought we'd see the focus.

05:57:12.460 --> 05:57:14.580
Jungle has turned out to be the most pivotal role.

05:57:14.580 --> 05:57:18.900
Top lane remains that, but oftentimes you've just been looking time and time again at mid lane,

05:57:18.900 --> 05:57:23.020
coming back to it, coming back to Nite of the Taliyah, who was so desperately trying to bail the team out.

05:57:23.020 --> 05:57:27.140
And if he had had that champion with all that individual agency, he just might have been able to do it.

05:57:27.140 --> 05:57:30.380
And on the other side, you're going to have different strengths when it comes to H&E.

05:57:30.380 --> 05:57:32.180
And we've talked about it at the beginning of the day.

05:57:32.180 --> 05:57:36.020
The fact that you have Zeus and Gume Yoshi reunited together,

05:57:36.020 --> 05:57:38.780
trying to find that success that they had in other teams,

05:57:38.780 --> 05:57:42.620
trying to get this other international title together.

05:57:42.620 --> 05:57:46.380
They're still yet to get an MSI and the one game away

05:57:46.380 --> 05:57:48.380
from doing it together here in Dijon.

05:57:48.380 --> 05:57:50.700
It would be such a legendary moment for them

05:57:50.700 --> 05:57:52.820
if they come back and win Game 4 and 5

05:57:52.820 --> 05:57:54.700
in lower final and final.

05:57:54.700 --> 05:57:58.780
And those two, I think, have also been their top performers.

05:57:58.780 --> 05:58:01.540
I think Konami has been extremely inconsistent.

05:58:01.540 --> 05:58:04.500
It makes me really pay attention to the early game here

05:58:04.500 --> 05:58:06.460
because if the team's gonna blow it wide open,

05:58:06.460 --> 05:58:09.180
I do feel like it's going to be BLG.

05:58:09.180 --> 05:58:12.500
And look, it has to be HLE finding those

05:58:12.500 --> 05:58:13.660
individual performers again.

05:58:13.660 --> 05:58:15.660
Gumi Yushi has gotten the better of Viper

05:58:15.660 --> 05:58:17.460
every single game thus far.

05:58:17.460 --> 05:58:19.580
This is his fifth MSI in a row.

05:58:19.580 --> 05:58:21.180
If there was ever a moment to do it,

05:58:21.180 --> 05:58:22.780
this is his chance to step up.

05:58:22.780 --> 05:58:25.660
And Zayus has made Bin look like a fraud.

05:58:25.660 --> 05:58:28.220
Bin has not shown up today at all.

05:58:28.220 --> 05:58:29.840
He has bodied him!

05:58:29.840 --> 05:58:33.540
Bin has not matched Zayas at any point.

05:58:33.540 --> 05:58:38.900
And now it could be Zayas who marches forward to take that triple title you've been talking about.

05:58:38.900 --> 05:58:42.540
And this is where you see the impact of an ego matchup on the top lane.

05:58:42.540 --> 05:58:44.940
It was always Bin with the strong word saying,

05:58:44.940 --> 05:58:50.620
Zayas, he might have the titles, I have the strength on the rift, and I'm gonna show it again.

05:58:50.620 --> 05:58:51.740
And he did today.

05:58:51.740 --> 05:58:54.380
Zayas got the best of his matchup.

05:58:54.380 --> 05:58:59.680
I'm just wondering who has more fuel in the tank between these two teams because they kept on fighting

05:58:59.680 --> 05:59:05.320
BLG came in as the best team, but H&D showed us that especially in finals they had the strength to fight back

05:59:05.320 --> 05:59:07.000
I'm gonna keep it real simple

05:59:07.000 --> 05:59:08.800
The pot lane got mages

05:59:08.800 --> 05:59:11.120
Mid lane is completely cracked

05:59:11.120 --> 05:59:13.520
The golden road is alive

05:59:13.520 --> 05:59:20.040
It's Billy Billy in five, baby! It's not going any other way!

05:59:20.040 --> 05:59:26.840
It has been a banger rematch between these two teams and even if BLG came in as the favorite here today,

05:59:26.840 --> 05:59:33.160
HLE showed that here in Daejeon, with their crowd, with their audience, they had the strength to fight.

05:59:33.160 --> 05:59:38.520
They had the strength to put up a fight against the LPL and showcase in front of the LCK fans that

05:59:38.520 --> 05:59:46.120
they can be the team bringing back glory and making sure that MSI belongs to the LCK here today.

05:59:46.120 --> 05:59:54.360
Is it going to be the golden left hand on the side of BLG or can HLE actually make the best out of this situation?

05:59:54.360 --> 05:59:59.560
We have shops standing by in the Coaster Murphy's with K-Drawl, so let's send it over to her.

06:00:01.400 --> 06:00:06.240
Yeah, I'm here with Mark and I'm going to get his thoughts as well. Mark, K-Drawl, and I'm going to get his thoughts as well.

06:00:06.240 --> 06:00:07.280
Canavi woke up!

06:00:07.280 --> 06:00:12.000
Canavi really did woke up. Game 2 and 3 combined, he was 1-16, and now in this game 4.

06:00:12.000 --> 06:00:15.280
A couple mistakes, but I think he's back. This draft is going to be really everything.

06:00:15.280 --> 06:00:20.880
Animal Life has so many good champions open, PLG has good champions open, there's Yone Flex, Akali Sylas,

06:00:20.880 --> 06:00:26.280
he's got Zayus as a Nivea, he's got things like Pantheon which should maybe go through if it does, it's going to be OP.

06:00:26.280 --> 06:00:31.080
AD Jungle Pool is finished, Wukong is like a good champ, but I think Kanavi's not super comes from the Wukong.

06:00:31.080 --> 06:00:37.480
Bends has to be things like Bai, Jace, Gnar, Syndra, Vayne, and the last thing I've got down that I saw in solo queue,

06:00:37.480 --> 06:00:40.080
is Viper has been playing a lot of Seraph, Bot lane.

06:00:40.080 --> 06:00:44.580
So maybe we get that, Kuma still has things like a Mefto, but I think this is going to be anyone's game.

06:00:44.580 --> 06:00:49.300
Cannabis woke up early game plans top counter break and jungle matchups where my eyes are

06:00:49.380 --> 06:00:54.440
What an insane MSI final by the way like Korea first the LPL it always delivers

06:00:54.440 --> 06:00:59.000
What does your gut tell you who's taking a trophy? I think the LG's gonna finish it. I already do

06:00:59.000 --> 06:01:04.140
I think that fundamental gameplay the series is just a little bit better. Thank you so much. Let's go get five

06:01:07.660 --> 06:01:12.220
Thank you very much Kdral and shocks and here we are for game number five

06:01:12.220 --> 06:01:20.500
We have gone the distance here in Daejeon and let's see who has the energy left in the tank to lift this trophy

06:01:20.500 --> 06:01:26.380
It's uncharted territory gentlemen. You haven't seen a bit between these two squads so far

06:01:26.500 --> 06:01:31.740
It was almost history repeating itself in the last one with Shunan the kindred

06:01:31.740 --> 06:01:37.740
But this time HLE were able to get over the top and this draft as K-dral said really is going to mean so much

06:01:37.740 --> 06:01:47.740
It's perfect. Number one LCK versus number one LPL down to the fifth and final game here at MSI

06:01:47.740 --> 06:01:49.740
Everything on the line now

06:01:50.740 --> 06:01:53.740
Let's get into the draft. Let's see what is going to be banned away

06:01:53.740 --> 06:01:56.740
I imagine things are gonna look relatively similar as HLE

06:01:56.740 --> 06:02:01.740
Gonna choose the red side off the BLG chose first pick in the fifth game

06:02:01.740 --> 06:02:05.380
fifth game. Sometimes people will change up their bands though, leap multiple

06:02:05.380 --> 06:02:09.420
OP's, try to go for a trade so they can could be beneficial to them. When you

06:02:09.420 --> 06:02:12.820
think about the jungle pool though, I'm thinking about Wukong, I'm thinking about

06:02:12.820 --> 06:02:16.900
Pantheon which has been getting banned a lot. You know there are a lot less of

06:02:16.900 --> 06:02:21.740
these champions outside of that that you can really go towards as far as these

06:02:21.740 --> 06:02:26.100
kind of standard AD junglers that have just been dominating the meta. You can't get into

06:02:26.100 --> 06:02:30.860
the career stuff like 8 drops jungle or Zan jungle and those types of angles but

06:02:30.860 --> 06:02:36.620
But I feel like they are outclassed pretty hard by the Pantheon and Wukong type champs.

06:02:36.620 --> 06:02:41.580
Yeah, it's going to be interesting because you're going to have to think about the synergies

06:02:41.580 --> 06:02:46.260
with your mid lane or two, of course, with your jungle picks and so, like you're saying,

06:02:46.260 --> 06:02:50.980
if you go a little bit outside the standard AD ones and you want to dip into some of the

06:02:50.980 --> 06:02:55.860
tank ones that are still available, then you also have to adjust some of the rest of your

06:02:55.860 --> 06:02:56.860
draft.

06:02:56.860 --> 06:02:57.860
I think Vice donates to be bad though.

06:02:57.860 --> 06:03:02.660
I don't think they're gonna let Shun get his hands on that as far as the first pick is concerned

06:03:02.660 --> 06:03:07.540
And so is it doesn't have to be by Pantheon is like that's what you have to do in order to make sure that this

06:03:07.980 --> 06:03:12.340
Jungle matchup works instead the Stinger needs to be down right that's the thing like that's the other option

06:03:12.340 --> 06:03:14.660
Is if you think you can trade OB's you can do that

06:03:14.980 --> 06:03:21.380
But I think if it is by a Pantheon getting banned then Wukong becomes pretty high-file unless people want to you know

06:03:21.380 --> 06:03:23.380
Get a little bit more creative

06:03:23.380 --> 06:03:30.380
We haven't seen Toppy play yet, so you can go to where Frank angles like Toppy as well, which are great denial style champions.

06:03:30.380 --> 06:03:34.380
Also, Sylas and Akali both up for both these players.

06:03:34.380 --> 06:03:36.380
And Yone.

06:03:36.380 --> 06:03:39.380
The Nivian are not going to be played by Azaz here.

06:03:39.380 --> 06:03:49.380
So the junglers are up, right? So there is at least one of Pantheon or Vi are going to be up, and then even if you ban one of them, you can grab the other with something like a Wukong.

06:03:49.380 --> 06:03:54.220
Wukong, if we expect that Vi will be gandai, you can go Pantheon Wukong as potential trades.

06:03:54.220 --> 06:03:57.520
And thinking about bot lane, I think we're kind of at the point where we're looking at

06:03:57.520 --> 06:04:02.560
supportive AD carries, things like MF and Jin, or you're looking at hyper carries and enchanter pairings.

06:04:02.560 --> 06:04:06.120
And it's going to be interesting to see where the two teams want to take us.

06:04:06.120 --> 06:04:09.820
But Vi is up, so it feels like they're kind of asking you to take it,

06:04:09.820 --> 06:04:13.720
which makes me wonder if Kanami wants to go for something like a poppy answer,

06:04:13.720 --> 06:04:18.060
something that is more of a denial style pick to try to punish that,

06:04:18.060 --> 06:04:19.780
to try to answer the plays that we know

06:04:19.780 --> 06:04:20.780
Shen will be looking for.

06:04:20.780 --> 06:04:22.620
And this buy was a no-brainer.

06:04:22.620 --> 06:04:25.460
We aren't very much expecting that this will be the lock-in.

06:04:25.460 --> 06:04:26.460
And I'm very curious.

06:04:26.460 --> 06:04:28.820
HLE, they know that this is coming.

06:04:28.820 --> 06:04:31.780
So what is their plan to take this down?

06:04:31.780 --> 06:04:33.900
Nefiri is not available.

06:04:33.900 --> 06:04:36.780
And there are quite a few things that can do decently

06:04:36.780 --> 06:04:37.340
into the buy.

06:04:37.340 --> 06:04:39.700
But I feel like it has to be a team composition answer.

06:04:39.700 --> 06:04:40.340
Exactly.

06:04:40.340 --> 06:04:43.780
You can get counter-engaged from other roles as well.

06:04:43.780 --> 06:04:45.020
You can counter with support.

06:04:45.020 --> 06:04:47.720
You can count through a rooftop lane and stuff as well.

06:04:47.720 --> 06:04:50.300
There's Lulu, there's lots of them.

06:04:50.300 --> 06:04:51.660
I mean, I think for the junglers,

06:04:51.660 --> 06:04:52.980
it's gonna be Pantheon, Wukong,

06:04:52.980 --> 06:04:54.900
or maybe that can see Poppy angle, right?

06:04:54.900 --> 06:04:57.780
That's kind of my expectation based on where the pool is.

06:04:57.780 --> 06:04:59.340
You just don't really see AP junglers

06:04:59.340 --> 06:05:04.100
because the only AD champion mid is really the Yone.

06:05:04.100 --> 06:05:05.620
And so it is Lulu.

06:05:05.620 --> 06:05:08.300
Lulu, Yunar could be a pretty easy one to go towards.

06:05:08.300 --> 06:05:10.540
Like I said, it's really supportive style AD carries,

06:05:10.540 --> 06:05:13.020
or it is hyper carry within Shanner, right?

06:05:13.020 --> 06:05:14.740
So they're gonna go hyper carry within Shanner,

06:05:14.740 --> 06:05:21.740
They could go MF, they could go GIN, they could go hyper carries of their own as well if they want to try to go that route.

06:05:21.740 --> 06:05:29.740
Yeah, Abelios had done pretty well in the Unara even when she was at her peak, so they've got a couple more options there.

06:05:29.740 --> 06:05:35.740
And this is the Aurora that we've kind of been waiting for. See if they do. It's again, a lot of this dive.

06:05:35.740 --> 06:05:38.740
When you show the early Vi, you're going to need more dive on top of it.

06:05:38.740 --> 06:05:42.900
If they go Aurora and then another aggressive champion, Poppy goes crazy though.

06:05:42.900 --> 06:05:47.860
So I feel like that could be them trying to lay a trap a little bit here for BLG.

06:05:47.860 --> 06:05:52.980
If BLG over-invests in aggressive champions, three-dash champions that could be coming through,

06:05:52.980 --> 06:05:59.460
the Poppy plus the Lulu, that could shut down so much. And I would really like to see it coming

06:05:59.460 --> 06:06:04.180
out here. I think that Poppy could be fine both in top and in jungle, depending upon the match-up.

06:06:04.180 --> 06:06:09.320
So to me if you see the Nautilus come through on three it feels it feels like a go-bud

06:06:09.880 --> 06:06:13.680
Wow, he's blind would be kind of crazy here

06:06:13.680 --> 06:06:19.520
That will be locked in for bin on the top side of the map remembering what Zeus did to lion yesterday

06:06:19.560 --> 06:06:22.420
But that was an answer to the shed. Don't make me do that

06:06:22.420 --> 06:06:26.660
No, well like in that case it was an answer to the shed right it worked very well in that case this time

06:06:26.660 --> 06:06:32.380
It's blind and it's it's their idea of like keeping these fights with the engage get the hlocks in there

06:06:32.380 --> 06:06:35.380
They're not going to be able to escape.

06:06:35.380 --> 06:06:36.420
All right, let's see.

06:06:36.420 --> 06:06:38.460
HLE, I feel like the entire time,

06:06:38.460 --> 06:06:40.620
they're going to know you're going to first pick the Vi,

06:06:40.620 --> 06:06:43.060
so you're going to go hard, dive on us.

06:06:43.060 --> 06:06:46.100
And so they have to be sifting through some of these answers

06:06:46.100 --> 06:06:47.340
for the countering gates.

06:06:47.340 --> 06:06:49.820
And they end up with the global option here,

06:06:49.820 --> 06:06:51.100
with the Pantheon instead.

06:06:51.100 --> 06:06:53.140
This is so interesting now, because now you're

06:06:53.140 --> 06:06:57.700
seeing different paths as far as the picks have taken.

06:06:57.700 --> 06:07:00.500
So you can be seeing bot lane bans here.

06:07:00.500 --> 06:07:02.860
for HLE, they could be targeting support where you'd be carrying.

06:07:02.860 --> 06:07:05.460
And on the other side, I feel like it's protection bands for the Atrox, right?

06:07:05.460 --> 06:07:07.020
So Nautilus is going to get banned out.

06:07:07.020 --> 06:07:08.660
That will be dropped.

06:07:08.660 --> 06:07:11.620
Something like Leona, if they're worried about Harding Gage, could be another one.

06:07:11.620 --> 06:07:13.260
Blitzcrank is always a possibility.

06:07:13.260 --> 06:07:16.100
Fawn wants to pull a page out of the lights book.

06:07:16.100 --> 06:07:18.220
So there are those style of champs.

06:07:18.220 --> 06:07:23.260
And then it's probably about trying to get a more beneficial matchup here for Bin and Knight.

06:07:23.260 --> 06:07:26.700
Are you more concerned about the blind Atrox or the blind Aurora?

06:07:26.700 --> 06:07:29.020
Because that's what you're trying to throw protection bands for.

06:07:29.020 --> 06:07:32.480
We know that Zeca has all the melee champions up and available.

06:07:32.480 --> 06:07:34.940
He could go south, he could go farly, he could go Gownay.

06:07:34.940 --> 06:07:39.320
So he has all of those tools here, and they are going to start thinning the mid lane pool.

06:07:39.320 --> 06:07:44.220
So Gownay is going to be taken away here, so Zeca doesn't get that extra layer of comfort.

06:07:44.220 --> 06:07:46.580
One last ban here for HLE.

06:07:46.580 --> 06:07:49.180
We'll see whether they keep their eyes towards that bottom side,

06:07:49.180 --> 06:07:52.220
or whether it is going to, sorry, towards that support pool,

06:07:52.220 --> 06:07:55.280
or whether it's going to be an ADC taking away here.

06:07:55.280 --> 06:07:57.080
Yeah, keep bending away the hard engage,

06:07:57.080 --> 06:07:59.520
because you're already going to face it, you know, for sure.

06:07:59.520 --> 06:08:02.080
Maybe the Blitzcrank is actually going to happen.

06:08:02.080 --> 06:08:04.280
The thing is, it's like, can you thin the pool enough?

06:08:04.280 --> 06:08:07.360
Because I was going to say, there's Blitz, there's Rell, there's Leona,

06:08:07.360 --> 06:08:10.000
and there's, you know, there's a lot of different champions.

06:08:10.000 --> 06:08:12.320
So it's just kind of like, which are you most worried about?

06:08:12.320 --> 06:08:14.800
By banning the Rell, to me, that says they're expecting MF.

06:08:14.800 --> 06:08:17.320
And I feel like they ban the two past MF pairings

06:08:17.320 --> 06:08:19.880
that I see left in the pool right now.

06:08:19.880 --> 06:08:21.360
Because yeah, you could go Blitz MF,

06:08:21.360 --> 06:08:23.760
but it doesn't feel like as strong to me

06:08:23.760 --> 06:08:26.080
compared to Rell MF or Nautilus MF,

06:08:26.080 --> 06:08:32.440
which have such beautiful setup both for the Aurora as well as a possible bullet time obviously MF Aurora great combo there too

06:08:33.160 --> 06:08:35.160
So it is is gonna be interesting

06:08:35.160 --> 06:08:37.480
All right, and now a truck's gonna be banned away

06:08:37.480 --> 06:08:40.800
I also think though be by getting the eight rocks early

06:08:40.800 --> 06:08:46.360
We still have options to go deep into that viper pool that we've been talking about for so long

06:08:46.360 --> 06:08:52.260
If it's not now then when is it gonna be because the last game of it's team or time. This is the last game

06:08:52.260 --> 06:08:57.500
I mean Alice the doors wide open kitchen was talking about the Sarah bottom and so look you like that

06:08:57.500 --> 06:09:02.740
But his pool goes so deep and this is the literal last game of MSI

06:09:02.740 --> 06:09:07.020
So it has to be now blind. Oh, sorry. No the Silas into the

06:09:08.380 --> 06:09:11.820
Consideration here and that will be the lock-in for Zaka a difficult matchup though

06:09:11.820 --> 06:09:15.500
I mean he was the world champion during the Silas Akali meta

06:09:16.020 --> 06:09:21.940
Let's see it and not the best ultsless deal yet, right? You know, I don't think that there's anything super inspiring

06:09:22.260 --> 06:09:24.140
They're all fine and you can steal away the vial.

06:09:24.140 --> 06:09:26.740
You have to engage and steal away the atroxial.

06:09:26.740 --> 06:09:28.500
Have some additional sustain.

06:09:28.500 --> 06:09:30.500
It's not bad, but it is kind of the MF

06:09:30.500 --> 06:09:32.540
that I'm expecting to come through.

06:09:32.540 --> 06:09:34.780
And then I'm just wondering, is it Leona?

06:09:34.780 --> 06:09:37.940
Is it something spicy like a blitz?

06:09:37.940 --> 06:09:40.140
Where do you want to take us?

06:09:40.140 --> 06:09:42.980
But it's just both of us are really good for Silas.

06:09:42.980 --> 06:09:46.100
So is that what they're giving them pause to think about?

06:09:46.100 --> 06:09:46.860
Yeah, it's true.

06:09:46.860 --> 06:09:50.140
And I mean, then you can go kind of like more off meta

06:09:50.140 --> 06:09:54.420
If you really want to try to go in there and you're worried about going to work those angles

06:09:54.420 --> 06:09:56.420
I mean

06:10:00.340 --> 06:10:03.860
I was gonna more on the on the Leona strain or the Blitzcrank train

06:10:03.860 --> 06:10:09.220
But yeah, it's like you want a good engage old from your support, but no matter which one you get

06:10:09.940 --> 06:10:14.300
Silas is also going to get I mean, I guess blitz is probably the worst one to give us Alice

06:10:14.300 --> 06:10:17.180
So I definitely understand that it would be a super risky pick anyway

06:10:17.180 --> 06:10:23.180
Imagine if Zayas did this. Game 5 picking the Glen into Bin.

06:10:23.180 --> 06:10:27.680
The Atrox-Gwen matchup there towards the top side of the map.

06:10:27.680 --> 06:10:32.180
This is what I was going to ask about though. How is the Mundo matchup into the Atrox?

06:10:32.180 --> 06:10:37.180
Because Zayas has been impossible to deal with on this champion.

06:10:37.180 --> 06:10:43.680
I think it is quite bad, but I will say Mundo, unlike a lot of other champions in top lane when they have bad matchups,

06:10:43.680 --> 06:10:47.460
He can always find because you can always be with us very hard to deny him

06:10:47.960 --> 06:10:53.780
Experiences and I him CS you're not gonna be winning any of these early fights against him by any means

06:10:54.160 --> 06:10:59.640
But you can survive you can scale and you can become a menace in the late game

06:10:59.640 --> 06:11:03.360
So I don't think it's as easy as the renecd one which is still difficult to navigate in the early levels

06:11:03.360 --> 06:11:05.000
But I do like the angle here

06:11:05.000 --> 06:11:11.800
I also think you can kind of put a crack in BLG's comp if you mark this Nico and Mudo is great for that

06:11:11.800 --> 06:11:18.600
you just try and mark sides with either Mundo or Pantheon in a lot of cases too. If you can find that Niko,

06:11:18.600 --> 06:11:22.880
it completely dismantles a lot of the big Harden gauge.

06:11:22.880 --> 06:11:28.800
Absolutely agree, and I mean they have the Pantheon on their side, so while Mundo has some difficulties

06:11:28.800 --> 06:11:33.000
in their changing like 8 rocks, if the Pantheon gets up there and you kill this guy a couple times,

06:11:33.000 --> 06:11:38.320
we saw what happened when the swing got accelerated. Similar things can happen if the Mundo gets accelerated.

06:11:38.320 --> 06:11:42.220
The only percent HP damage really in the team is 5, right?

06:11:42.220 --> 06:11:45.180
You know, which isn't bad, but MF is not a great tank killer.

06:11:45.180 --> 06:11:49.960
She needs to plant and fire, and if Lundo gets too far ahead, he's gonna be coming for your head.

06:11:49.960 --> 06:11:55.380
I think it is a good pick for the team later on, you know, to be the point man, to mark these angles,

06:11:55.460 --> 06:11:58.260
mark the flanks, and try and stop the Engages.

06:11:58.260 --> 06:12:04.020
Yeah, not to mention, if you try to engage with just a pop blossom, the Mundo is just gonna keep on walking,

06:12:04.020 --> 06:12:08.460
And then start throwing briefcases at your carries ladies and gentlemen

06:12:08.460 --> 06:12:13.660
It is time to get on to the rift for game number five of the MSI grand final

06:12:15.540 --> 06:12:17.540
Golden road

06:12:17.700 --> 06:12:20.960
On the table here H. Lee trying to bulldoze

06:12:26.220 --> 06:12:31.080
They were hoping that they were gonna catch shun on rafters, but they had four members walking through that brush

06:12:31.080 --> 06:12:35.640
Yeah, face checking is on tries to get the blooming burst down the heel has to be used

06:12:35.640 --> 06:12:42.240
He's taking so much damage by but already having to use his barrier to summon a bit spells traded for two as

06:12:42.440 --> 06:12:44.660
Canavi dealing with my and shun together

06:12:44.660 --> 06:12:49.360
He doesn't even seem too frightened about it and that is going to be shun claiming his own jungle

06:12:49.360 --> 06:12:55.480
Yeah, can I be really wanted that steel sticking around but mid laner coming over means of difference and that is your mid laner

06:12:55.760 --> 06:13:00.300
Paying to come do that for you. There is a big payment in those minions lost mid

06:13:00.300 --> 06:13:06.680
So they do defend it for shun, but we'll see about night and they're falling really got hurt by that on actually took so much damage

06:13:06.680 --> 06:13:12.200
Used he'll end both pots at level one and this is supposed to be an advantageous MF Niko matchup

06:13:12.200 --> 06:13:17.680
And this is after on had a really rough game previously. He's coming off a rough scarner game

06:13:18.440 --> 06:13:25.280
And so we'll see you'll not in delight with the early level to off of their early health lead control of the minion wave

06:13:25.760 --> 06:13:29.360
Exactly what you know our wants easily stack up your Q and threaten

06:13:30.300 --> 06:13:33.740
Let's see how it does go right now, actually, with a lot of control around the map.

06:13:33.740 --> 06:13:37.340
It hasn't really translated into too much outside of that great trade.

06:13:37.340 --> 06:13:40.140
It's Viper having to take his potion as well.

06:13:40.140 --> 06:13:42.140
The Light is also being through both of his.

06:13:43.020 --> 06:13:46.620
And so, just a lot of fighting back and forth here towards this bottom side.

06:13:46.620 --> 06:13:48.860
But the main thing is that Unara has access to the wave,

06:13:48.860 --> 06:13:52.940
and that is going to feel a lot better for her as Knight trading really well here with Zeca.

06:13:52.940 --> 06:13:55.340
Trying to even things out. It looked like Zeca went in aggressively.

06:13:55.340 --> 06:13:56.940
The answer was available.

06:13:56.940 --> 06:14:07.940
They have a world trophy to have a first-hand trophy and we have Shun looking for Zekka.

06:14:07.940 --> 06:14:12.940
You're going to land the chains there as Knight now trying to push him away.

06:14:12.940 --> 06:14:14.940
That was how did Zekka manage to dodge that?

06:14:14.940 --> 06:14:19.940
I swear that was actually going to hit as now he's slinking towards this brush towards the bottom side.

06:14:19.940 --> 06:14:25.940
It's going to be Shun making his way over and there is the dash to allow Zekka to escape and he will be able to go back.

06:14:25.940 --> 06:14:29.980
to go back. It is at a critical point too because look at the minion wave there. And

06:14:29.980 --> 06:14:36.020
it's the jungle trying to pay the mid laner back for him protecting the Raptors. They

06:14:36.020 --> 06:14:40.060
wrap around. They don't get a summoner spell out of Zeka and he still has his teleport

06:14:40.060 --> 06:14:44.380
though. So he teleports right back and honestly he can just clean these back up.

06:14:44.380 --> 06:14:50.180
We talked about it before but Knight back in 2023 on JDG. One of the closest temps

06:14:50.180 --> 06:14:55.820
we've ever had to the golden road here T1. Stop them in their tracks at Worlds and Knight

06:14:55.820 --> 06:15:02.180
Again, trying to attempt the Golden Road here in 2026 with BLG in an era where

06:15:02.180 --> 06:15:04.580
LCK had been dominating these last couple of years.

06:15:04.580 --> 06:15:06.660
They've won four world championships in a row.

06:15:06.740 --> 06:15:08.180
They've won multiple MSIs.

06:15:08.380 --> 06:15:12.700
BLG wins first in and people are thinking, especially after the first couple

06:15:12.700 --> 06:15:15.260
of games this series, that they might be well on their way to winning this too.

06:15:15.340 --> 06:15:15.620
Yeah.

06:15:15.660 --> 06:15:20.860
So far this year has been LPL's year, you know, with LCK getting eliminated

06:15:20.860 --> 06:15:21.980
out of first stand so quickly.

06:15:21.980 --> 06:15:33.980
Five having to flash here towards his bottom side, meaning to interrupt, but it's getting a little dicey down here as the light also going lower, but it's Kanabi moving in, moves over a ward, and BLG to get the heads up and back away.

06:15:33.980 --> 06:15:40.980
Yeah, Viper playing very defensively, that was Flash and Bear used early, they have to evacuate because Kanabi could look for them.

06:15:40.980 --> 06:15:48.980
Yeah, Naked Rain is going to slow him down, the clone is going to stick under the turret, but that is going to mean that HLE get full control and this whole wave is just dead.

06:15:48.980 --> 06:15:53.240
It's insane already, the bottom difference is going to be huge.

06:15:53.240 --> 06:15:57.140
This Yunar Lulu is going to be devastating in these team fights.

06:15:57.140 --> 06:16:03.060
Kvipers zoned off more experience, more minions, and only now can he slink back in.

06:16:03.060 --> 06:16:07.820
Well, that's big though, on-stops the base from Guma, so he is going to have a little

06:16:07.820 --> 06:16:11.860
bit more of a difficulty utilizing that advantage, but I just think it's so interesting that

06:16:11.860 --> 06:16:15.740
the story for HLE all year long has been, yep, Guma's Mr. Weakside, he's going to play

06:16:15.740 --> 06:16:20.140
your ash or gin or your mages, he's going to chill. And in this series,

06:16:20.180 --> 06:16:24.260
Kenobi is down, but the zoning viper off the tower or diving him,

06:16:24.500 --> 06:16:27.780
it feels like almost every game. Yeah.

06:16:28.140 --> 06:16:33.140
And actually have the luxury of choosing which world's MVP they want to carry

06:16:33.380 --> 06:16:34.780
their games. That seems nice.

06:16:35.020 --> 06:16:38.220
There's a few of them that they have available in Gumiishi today.

06:16:38.460 --> 06:16:40.140
This feels like he's got his head screwed on right.

06:16:40.300 --> 06:16:44.220
He has been so stable in this series of Zekka.

06:16:44.220 --> 06:16:49.220
He's going to try and prove me wrong here as he goes in, but he's going to be on finding the snare.

06:16:49.220 --> 06:16:51.220
And maybe it's the other side of the coin.

06:16:51.220 --> 06:16:55.220
Zeke is just going to make a bit of a Venn diagram, but there's not a whole lot of shade in that one.

06:16:55.220 --> 06:17:00.220
Still very worth on that roam from on. They get the flash also in addition to those old straighted here.

06:17:00.220 --> 06:17:04.220
So the pressure applied to one of your world's MPPs.

06:17:04.220 --> 06:17:06.220
Yeah, that is very good there for Knight.

06:17:06.220 --> 06:17:11.220
Someone that they haven't, somebody's getting involved in these last couple of games by, remember, no flash.

06:17:11.220 --> 06:17:14.980
Taking a bit of damage here, but I'm usually not able to follow up on the circle. Just yeah

06:17:14.980 --> 06:17:18.020
I'm not gonna be able to go in but by for down a couple waves of course

06:17:18.020 --> 06:17:22.660
Then does have a finish on the top side has rushed the early executioner is very important

06:17:22.660 --> 06:17:26.940
Of course against Mundo Nali for the alt but also for that W healing and

06:17:28.060 --> 06:17:34.420
As expected then has the full push, but like I said, it's very hard to deny Mundo from CS entirely

06:17:34.420 --> 06:17:36.580
You have the e to help you last hit under tower

06:17:36.580 --> 06:17:42.500
You have the cues to form with cleavers and this is staying within striking distance in this one

06:17:42.500 --> 06:17:45.140
We want a topside which is really all you have to do as Mundo

06:17:45.880 --> 06:17:51.460
Every minute that passes is a blessing. Yeah, just getting better and better and better later you go

06:17:51.460 --> 06:17:54.300
Just needs to build as many belts as he possibly can

06:17:54.660 --> 06:18:01.780
The heart steel is now on the way infernal chains are going to miss as they are just happy to grab experience as we can see

06:18:01.780 --> 06:18:05.860
Pulling down about a wave right now, that was to be expected.

06:18:05.860 --> 06:18:11.140
Vision on this dragon does go over to BLG, and Shun is just going to vault break his way in there.

06:18:11.140 --> 06:18:12.820
Control vision going to be cleared out here.

06:18:12.820 --> 06:18:15.380
Yeah, Kanabi has spent a lot of time hovering on this bomb side.

06:18:15.380 --> 06:18:20.740
They defended the control ward once, but as soon as he recalls, and Shun has his level 6 already,

06:18:20.740 --> 06:18:22.420
he slips back into the dragon.

06:18:22.420 --> 06:18:25.860
So BLG are going to be able to take that one.

06:18:25.860 --> 06:18:29.700
Level 6 on the Vi, and Bot side going to be able to collect the wave as well.

06:18:29.700 --> 06:18:32.700
Well, Top lane has just been so interesting throughout this series for me.

06:18:32.700 --> 06:18:36.000
I felt like Ben played really well in the connecting game, had an incredible Jax game.

06:18:36.000 --> 06:18:43.200
But Teyus has been so critical in these last couple of wins, has been getting himself into these amazing spots now.

06:18:43.200 --> 06:18:46.900
And bringing out the Mundo here, these guys, they're head to head.

06:18:46.900 --> 06:18:50.200
It has been pretty incredible. We've seen them match up so many times. They're looking bot.

06:18:50.200 --> 06:18:54.700
Yeah, Shun, not going to quite find the Flash as there is the Flash escape from Gumiichi.

06:18:54.700 --> 06:18:59.980
Shun too far as the ulti does come down, but first blood goes over to Nidogumi and she's gonna be taken as well.

06:18:59.980 --> 06:19:04.420
It doesn't matter that it kinda went wrong at the start as BLG claimed to.

06:19:04.420 --> 06:19:09.900
Exactly, even though Shun doesn't connect immediately, he gets so low they try and damage him on the way out,

06:19:09.900 --> 06:19:16.040
and the follow up from BLG, it's Viper and on, with the double snare into the kill.

06:19:16.040 --> 06:19:20.300
I can't believe they all survived. I thought for sure that Halvis started.

06:19:20.300 --> 06:19:23.340
when the Q flash misses from Shun over the wall,

06:19:23.340 --> 06:19:25.180
I am thinking, this is bad.

06:19:25.180 --> 06:19:27.180
Guma gets the dash flash back into the tower.

06:19:27.180 --> 06:19:30.300
I thought Guma was gonna be able to take down Shun,

06:19:30.300 --> 06:19:32.460
but that double snare as he called out Kobe,

06:19:32.460 --> 06:19:34.060
setting up for both the spells,

06:19:34.060 --> 06:19:36.220
hitting from Knight on everyone.

06:19:36.220 --> 06:19:39.920
And the barrier saves Viper there at the very end.

06:19:39.920 --> 06:19:41.260
The timing, just gorgeous,

06:19:41.260 --> 06:19:42.580
because Delight, you can see,

06:19:42.580 --> 06:19:44.180
is just about to hit that level six,

06:19:44.180 --> 06:19:46.700
and that Wild Growth could have been pivotal.

06:19:46.700 --> 06:19:50.740
When off turns back to on and they get the bot lane lead.

06:19:50.740 --> 06:19:52.900
Okay, HLE, they're not going to take that lying down though.

06:19:52.900 --> 06:19:55.700
They swap back to the other side of the map on their revives,

06:19:55.700 --> 06:19:58.340
up to Grubbs, Kanabi gets one of them thus far,

06:19:58.340 --> 06:19:59.620
and they're chasing them back out.

06:19:59.620 --> 06:20:02.980
Delight now with the support ultimate advantage.

06:20:02.980 --> 06:20:04.500
Even though on made a big play,

06:20:04.500 --> 06:20:07.220
Delight with the experience advantage is them around

06:20:07.220 --> 06:20:08.940
and they're just going to bully them off.

06:20:08.940 --> 06:20:12.460
Exactly, you know, there is that cost to on making the roam

06:20:12.460 --> 06:20:13.300
towards mid lane.

06:20:13.300 --> 06:20:15.260
You know, he did attack second, he did force the flash,

06:20:15.260 --> 06:20:21.780
but he's down about a full level now, and he's gonna be missing that pop-wassum of Viper getting into a comfort zone now,

06:20:21.780 --> 06:20:23.140
and Kanabi looking for a knight.

06:20:23.140 --> 06:20:27.520
Yeah, looking for an angle here, his knight is gonna get stunned up, chains are going to land,

06:20:27.520 --> 06:20:30.300
but knight just down to 50%, and we'll be able to walk it off.

06:20:30.300 --> 06:20:34.700
No flash deployed just yet as the dash in from Gumi Nishi, they just want to kill on, and they are gonna do so.

06:20:34.700 --> 06:20:38.500
Viper immediately cancels the ulti as Kanabi falls down on top of him.

06:20:38.500 --> 06:20:41.740
He doesn't have support though, because on his being really annoying,

06:20:41.740 --> 06:20:46.480
Viper, sorry, Guma is going to finally pick up that kill, and HLE are on the bullet.

06:20:46.480 --> 06:20:54.260
Yep, on still level 5, HLE strike, and Guma getting richer, getting turret plate money on top of that.

06:20:54.260 --> 06:21:01.300
And again, that ultimate from Kanabi helping out the bot lane so big, because it meant Viper immediately had to cancel his ult,

06:21:01.300 --> 06:21:09.200
which may have pushed Guma back, which may have allowed on to survive, but instead, Pantheon arrives, cancels the ult, forces the flash,

06:21:09.200 --> 06:21:15.360
Guma gets a kill, Guma gets a plate, he is 600 gold ahead and he is 24 CS up right now.

06:21:15.360 --> 06:21:18.520
That cap is going to close a little bit with his wave coming in, but

06:21:18.520 --> 06:21:23.280
Leiper is just getting punished here by Kanavi time and time again.

06:21:23.280 --> 06:21:27.200
And this is an MF, right? You choose though so that she has that lane presence.

06:21:27.200 --> 06:21:31.080
They have the Nico alongside her to match the range of the Lulu.

06:21:31.080 --> 06:21:32.960
It hasn't necessarily worked so far.

06:21:32.960 --> 06:21:38.040
If you do find the Wombo combos later on in the game though, that ulti will tear people apart.

06:21:38.040 --> 06:21:43.820
It absolutely can and that's why the level one was so critical from Guma and delight right HLE clearly came in with the game plan

06:21:43.820 --> 06:21:47.720
They did this four man invade they tried to find shown on the rafters didn't work out for Kanabi

06:21:47.720 --> 06:21:53.960
But it did work out for Guma and delight who got this big chunk on the viper and on that kind of set the tone for the 2v2

06:21:53.960 --> 06:21:59.600
early yeah, and they continue to put a lot of focus down towards him a lot of these resources because

06:22:00.120 --> 06:22:04.680
Zayas could just scale on the other side Mundo as you say trying to safely see us just

06:22:04.680 --> 06:22:10.100
Just collecting while they spend all these resources towards the scaling, you know, Lulu.

06:22:10.100 --> 06:22:13.940
And now Zayas is on the triple belt. That is where you get to kind of choose,

06:22:13.940 --> 06:22:15.560
do you go in towards the warmogs?

06:22:15.560 --> 06:22:19.000
Because the terminal belt activates the warmogs immediately on that one item completion,

06:22:19.000 --> 06:22:23.400
which means now you cannot be pushed around in that 1v1 ever again.

06:22:23.400 --> 06:22:25.600
Oh, Zeffa doesn't quite find the chains.

06:22:25.600 --> 06:22:28.200
Knight able to just dash away from him.

06:22:28.700 --> 06:22:31.800
Last time Zayas did play this though, I thought he was going to do the warmogs rush

06:22:31.800 --> 06:22:33.040
because he went for a ball belt,

06:22:33.040 --> 06:22:35.240
but he still did end up going cart steel,

06:22:35.240 --> 06:22:37.720
which obviously more power in and all in,

06:22:37.720 --> 06:22:39.240
but the benefit of that warmogs is

06:22:39.240 --> 06:22:41.240
you just trade infinitely with Ben,

06:22:41.240 --> 06:22:43.560
and then you back it up, your full health every wave.

06:22:43.560 --> 06:22:46.680
And this is well set up for HLE to take that next dragon,

06:22:46.680 --> 06:22:48.680
because both top laners not having teleports

06:22:48.680 --> 06:22:50.080
is also good for him.

06:22:50.080 --> 06:22:52.320
Zayas could just stay up there, continue to farm,

06:22:52.320 --> 06:22:55.200
while the rest of HLE try and control bottom side.

06:22:55.200 --> 06:22:58.480
But BLG are the ones with the gold lead,

06:22:58.480 --> 06:23:00.200
and I want to draw your eyes to the completed

06:23:00.200 --> 06:23:05.900
under sky here for should hold between worlds here for zekker though as he is

06:23:05.900 --> 06:23:10.220
just going to clear out the wave and exit not able to do enough damage back

06:23:10.220 --> 06:23:14.980
really good at standing his ground in this lane even after zekker started to

06:23:14.980 --> 06:23:18.460
feel a lot stronger on this first item should because he has the first completed

06:23:18.460 --> 06:23:22.940
item he gets access to the setup for vision for the dragon and the vision

06:23:22.940 --> 06:23:26.900
could be critical and now shun looking oh he is on vision they do clear out the

06:23:26.900 --> 06:23:29.740
control ward here, it's Gumiushi just backs his way out.

06:23:29.740 --> 06:23:31.940
Lulu off a reset, delight making his way back down.

06:23:31.940 --> 06:23:34.380
The ardent sensor is done, but I don't think it's going to be there

06:23:34.380 --> 06:23:38.700
in time for this dragon to be taking doubles for BLG.

06:23:38.700 --> 06:23:41.700
As this, just standing under the turret with his ultimate running,

06:23:41.700 --> 06:23:44.380
as Kanabi's just walking in, finds his stun onto Han,

06:23:44.380 --> 06:23:46.140
he's taking so much damage.

06:23:46.140 --> 06:23:49.060
Kanabi down to 50% though, he does have that wild growth.

06:23:49.060 --> 06:23:51.860
Bullet time comes down, pop loss him onto two,

06:23:51.860 --> 06:23:53.260
but the bullet time doesn't quite do enough,

06:23:53.260 --> 06:23:55.660
Gumiushi takes down Han, Kanabi flashes out,

06:23:55.660 --> 06:24:05.660
The season assist will be acquiesced here by HLE as it's a double kill for Goomir Yushin and HLE will say thanks so much for the dragon.

06:24:05.660 --> 06:24:09.260
They take him again, thanks for the leash and they're not done.

06:24:09.260 --> 06:24:10.460
Hit the unknown for Nite.

06:24:10.460 --> 06:24:14.960
Of course, Konami's just going to dive underneath the turret. Doesn't quite find the damage with the Q.

06:24:14.960 --> 06:24:17.660
And it will just settle for some Krugs.

06:24:17.660 --> 06:24:21.560
His former teammate did not want to let him get away with that one.

06:24:21.560 --> 06:24:26.560
and he did not want to let them get away with this dragon, even though BLG had the early setup,

06:24:26.560 --> 06:24:28.860
Kanabi with no fear jumps in on to on.

06:24:28.860 --> 06:24:32.560
Exactly, he gets that huge chunk and he has the Lulu behind him.

06:24:32.560 --> 06:24:35.860
I didn't think they were going to be there in time, but he just charges on in,

06:24:35.860 --> 06:24:39.160
and even though on comes across with this ult,

06:24:39.160 --> 06:24:45.160
Viper runs out of mana, Shun runs out of health, and Knight has nothing to really offer in this fight.

06:24:45.160 --> 06:24:50.060
He's got no resources, and it's such slim margins here, all the low health bars,

06:24:50.060 --> 06:24:54.620
But with night in with my room, they can't finish anyone off and they had a storm of honey for it

06:24:54.620 --> 06:24:58.540
Blind them as well. So I was dipping out of the fight eating honey for it coming back

06:24:58.780 --> 06:25:03.740
Meanwhile, Beal dear taking this dragon. They're spending all these spells on the dragon during that time

06:25:05.180 --> 06:25:07.180
Was that gonna have to dash can in his way out

06:25:07.260 --> 06:25:11.900
He's going to be able to do so here as night and shouldn't unable to find him as kanavi thinking about coming on over

06:25:11.900 --> 06:25:13.900
But does back away

06:25:13.980 --> 06:25:19.340
Even with that win it is only 700 gold between the two teams. It is a dragon apiece

06:25:19.340 --> 06:25:26.420
We are basically dead even at this point, but it's where is that gold concentrated on the eunara

06:25:27.100 --> 06:25:32.620
Goomba yushi in game five here with a Lulu at his back

06:25:33.900 --> 06:25:39.020
The coin base cold grind showing us that you're me she is in a phenomenal spot this game

06:25:39.620 --> 06:25:46.780
1.5k we were talking about it before where do you put your eggs when you're HLE when the chips are down when you're in game number five

06:25:46.780 --> 06:25:48.780
It's their most recent Wells MVP.

06:25:48.780 --> 06:25:50.780
That's what they're going to put them in.

06:25:50.780 --> 06:25:51.780
It's a good place to put them,

06:25:51.780 --> 06:25:54.780
but I feel like we're getting a little bit of a repeat

06:25:54.780 --> 06:25:56.780
of that Jax game from Ben, right?

06:25:56.780 --> 06:25:57.780
Where it's two sides of the map.

06:25:57.780 --> 06:26:00.780
It's who's going to be able to utilize that advantage most.

06:26:00.780 --> 06:26:02.780
Ben has a large advantage on that top side.

06:26:02.780 --> 06:26:07.780
We have seen Atroc's break hearts time and time again internationally,

06:26:07.780 --> 06:26:09.780
including Zayas playing it yesterday.

06:26:09.780 --> 06:26:13.780
He was the one destroying Lyon, and now Ben, it's going to be up to him.

06:26:13.780 --> 06:26:20.300
And they have the tools to help bin a vi ultimate is just what you need if you want to shut down a hyper carry

06:26:20.420 --> 06:26:23.380
If you've got a unar jumping around with a big gold lead

06:26:23.900 --> 06:26:30.380
Then a well placed a vi ultimate can sit her down. Oh my goodness. I didn't realize until just now

06:26:30.380 --> 06:26:32.380
it's a chem tech soul this game and

06:26:32.980 --> 06:26:39.260
You might be thinking this is phenomenal from under but both sides of the rift are gonna benefit from this one so much

06:26:39.260 --> 06:26:41.100
I was thinking to myself like oh well

06:26:41.100 --> 06:26:47.620
Well, I guess Kentech is still available for one of those worst souls, but I actually think it's probably one of the best for both of these compositions.

06:26:47.620 --> 06:26:51.100
And as Kanabi just gonna walk towards the river here, Rytel.

06:26:51.100 --> 06:26:52.100
They want to fight.

06:26:52.100 --> 06:26:59.100
Yep, that is going to be what's on their minds, as the Pop Blossom is going to connect onto Kanabi, season assist into the backline as they look to take down Grimushi.

06:26:59.100 --> 06:27:06.100
Knight is going to finish it, but now Viper is in trouble, Zeca dives forward, finds the chains to take out his former teammate.

06:27:06.100 --> 06:27:12.260
And there goes Kanabi as well, Sekiro trying to escape, but he have to take out, tank up the turret to get out of here.

06:27:12.260 --> 06:27:18.260
The abduct is going to come through the abscond, and the Kingslayer is going to be there, but it's Knight that takes him down.

06:27:18.260 --> 06:27:20.500
And they'll take a free Rift Herald as well.

06:27:20.500 --> 06:27:25.780
On starts out the play, and shoulds by ultimate since, Guma down!

06:27:25.780 --> 06:27:30.260
They put that gold lead in the dirt at the very beginning of the fight.

06:27:30.260 --> 06:27:32.180
What a flank from BLG.

06:27:32.180 --> 06:27:36.540
That was beautiful by BLG, night with the TP, on with the engage,

06:27:36.540 --> 06:27:40.900
Shun getting into the back line, everyone combining there perfectly.

06:27:40.900 --> 06:27:46.020
Viper gunning him down with a bullet time over the top, they needed it all,

06:27:46.020 --> 06:27:49.580
and they got it. They get the Herald as well, they get plates,

06:27:49.580 --> 06:27:52.100
they have nearly a thousand gold leads just like that.

06:27:52.100 --> 06:27:54.220
What more can you ask for?

06:27:54.220 --> 06:27:57.380
A game five back and forth.

06:27:57.380 --> 06:28:01.260
Just a thousand gold leads swinging back and forth, and we call it out,

06:28:01.260 --> 06:28:08.100
Looking for the UNR on gets the dash out of him. There's the old and then by ultimate into the ultimate over the top from

06:28:09.100 --> 06:28:15.900
misfortune and nice full combo the leading Guma. It's beautiful even though the top awesome does not hit Guma

06:28:15.920 --> 06:28:23.840
The roof does from on the vial does the full combo from night does and that is more than enough to take him down through

06:28:24.140 --> 06:28:25.420
everything here

06:28:25.420 --> 06:28:30.660
And then Zeko is trying to clean up some money there, but he has to go all the way under tower to get the

06:28:30.820 --> 06:28:36.660
Kill back on the other side needing to use that lost chain was so important because it meant he was out of the fight

06:28:36.820 --> 06:28:42.480
Completely and still our gold is so close in this game. Our dragons are so close in this game

06:28:42.900 --> 06:28:47.260
We did actually get the one box last year from say this which I think is so smart when you were behind on

06:28:47.620 --> 06:28:55.020
Mundo this means now bin can do nothing all you do is you step forward you tank up the atrox damage and the damage from the wave

06:28:55.020 --> 06:29:00.100
You don't allow him to ever get in range of the tower with a minion wave there even if you lose 70% of your health

06:29:00.100 --> 06:29:06.940
It does not matter you are full health after every single wave and that is one of the most powerful things about this bill

06:29:06.940 --> 06:29:12.740
So I love seeing this tech from Zeus. It's so smart when the powerful part of your team is the other side of the map

06:29:12.740 --> 06:29:16.420
You just have to hang on and don't let bin pushes the vintage

06:29:16.820 --> 06:29:22.360
But there is gonna be still advantage is pushed as the first heart is gonna be taken down by BLG towards the top side

06:29:22.360 --> 06:29:29.380
2,000 gold is approaching here for their advantage and the Mundo hasn't scaled just yet

06:29:30.280 --> 06:29:37.380
HLE I think think still feeling very comfortable moving into a late game with a composition like this if bin can be kept under control

06:29:37.560 --> 06:29:40.720
Yeah, I love it the tension is high because build you have the gold lead

06:29:40.720 --> 06:29:47.960
It is hard to get those dream flanks though. The last one was beautiful. It's perfect now on the dragon HLE

06:29:47.960 --> 06:29:53.480
immediately burning it down. I don't think you can contest this one. And honestly, there's not even

06:29:53.480 --> 06:29:59.320
a lot in the aftermath that BLG can get, but they can push bottom and Ben can get up to that tower.

06:29:59.320 --> 06:30:03.320
And Knight, you know, it's not just Ben now with the lead. It is Knight. He has this big advantage.

06:30:03.320 --> 06:30:09.080
And last time these two's met up. I mean, it was Knight who was getting the better of the matchup.

06:30:09.080 --> 06:30:12.600
It was Knight who got multiple solo kills, who was pumping out the damage, who was winning the

06:30:12.600 --> 06:30:18.120
the lanes. He went 25, 3 and 29 in that last series. He's not having that level of dominance

06:30:18.120 --> 06:30:24.560
here. Second HLE half stepped up, but Knight is 303. He is 1.4K ahead and he is going for

06:30:24.560 --> 06:30:30.040
a high damage build. It's looking like Shadowflame second. He's got the Sork boots and he is looking

06:30:30.040 --> 06:30:32.560
to one shot Guma.

06:30:32.560 --> 06:30:38.200
And it's 100% kill contribution for Shun, Knight and Viper in this game. They have made

06:30:38.200 --> 06:30:43.800
sure that they're setting up for skirmishes bringing everyone with them to make this one happen.

06:30:44.840 --> 06:30:50.360
And Zeca is looking to try and scale, trying to claim some of these ultimate, get pop blossoms,

06:30:50.360 --> 06:30:56.040
and make those huge plays. But Knight slowly but surely has just been doing way more damage in

06:30:56.040 --> 06:30:59.960
these teamfights. Yeah, I mean, BLG, they have a lot of burst damage, and they have a lot of

06:30:59.960 --> 06:31:06.280
opportunities now. But HLE, as you're talking about the scaling, they have a couple of avenues

06:31:06.280 --> 06:31:14.280
upscaling on their team. We're taking this and with DPS so BLG again the tension is high

06:31:14.280 --> 06:31:20.280
because the play that they just put off was beautiful but they're going to have to make some more of those.

06:31:21.320 --> 06:31:26.120
Zayas is just going to wander towards this turret here and claims two plates okay.

06:31:26.760 --> 06:31:32.280
Now he's out of 50% and wanders away from bin I would assume. Has his Swifties so he isn't too

06:31:32.280 --> 06:31:39.280
Exactly, that's the thing. If he can't 100-0 you, he cannot kill you. You will warm odds back up to full, and it's gonna kick in right now.

06:31:39.280 --> 06:31:47.280
And this is why you can play this style with this build. It is so powerful. You just ignore all trades. If he can't 100-0 you, he can do nothing.

06:31:47.280 --> 06:31:56.280
It's looking very, very frustrating. I have to admit, as Viper catches this wave in the mid lane, Gumiishi is still looking for item number three.

06:31:56.280 --> 06:31:59.160
It does have the first two completed.

06:31:59.160 --> 06:32:00.660
Xenarra's pretty scary as been.

06:32:00.660 --> 06:32:03.060
Look at him, pressing all of these buttons, having a good time.

06:32:03.060 --> 06:32:04.460
It's now Zeca looks for the chains.

06:32:04.460 --> 06:32:06.960
Doesn't find them there on to on.

06:32:06.960 --> 06:32:08.860
Will be able to at least hijack an ultimate,

06:32:08.860 --> 06:32:10.560
as now Kanavi moving over.

06:32:10.560 --> 06:32:13.640
Xenarra just takes down the turret right from underneath him,

06:32:13.640 --> 06:32:15.200
as the World Ender has to be used.

06:32:15.200 --> 06:32:17.400
Kanavi avoids the Infernal chains,

06:32:17.400 --> 06:32:20.200
as the rest of HLE are grouped up for a fight.

06:32:20.200 --> 06:32:21.540
They're pinging out the mid lane note,

06:32:21.540 --> 06:32:23.380
and there's not a whole lot to fight for at this point in time,

06:32:23.380 --> 06:32:24.640
with two and a half minutes on the drake.

06:32:24.640 --> 06:32:31.060
I mean this just pops the alt walks in and the demolish proc the e damage everything on the turret just explodes that thing

06:32:31.220 --> 06:32:35.440
Scales with your health. It's the Mundo theme song continue pushing

06:32:36.440 --> 06:32:43.020
All right speaking of pushing though the Herald does go through onto the mid turret here and is gonna get

06:32:43.540 --> 06:32:51.140
More map to play with for BLG as they finish off the mid turret and now that can give them some avenues

06:32:51.140 --> 06:32:58.060
more areas to flank from. They really do need to put that pressure again on to the Unara.

06:32:58.060 --> 06:33:02.320
It does have his heart steel now completed. Went for that as item number two. Probably

06:33:02.320 --> 06:33:07.280
one Spirit Visage before he can walk up tonight just comfortably. But just probably one Spirit

06:33:07.280 --> 06:33:11.520
Visage anyway because that item is broken on Mundo especially when there's a Kimtex

06:33:11.520 --> 06:33:16.480
Soul up and available. I feel like these dragons are going to be so important for HLE. They've

06:33:16.480 --> 06:33:21.160
They've got the Kingslayer, they've got Mundos, Existence, Wild Growth, things like this.

06:33:21.160 --> 06:33:23.680
It's just such high value here for this team.

06:33:23.680 --> 06:33:26.800
When Spirit of the Siege is crazy good, and I think it'll probably be his next complete item,

06:33:26.800 --> 06:33:30.760
but I wouldn't be surprised to see a Warden's Mail come in next, because there is a lot of physical damage.

06:33:30.760 --> 06:33:34.320
Atrox, MF, and ViR are the ones likely to kill you in the fight.

06:33:34.320 --> 06:33:38.720
The passive on Spirit of the Siege is always insanely valuable, even if it is against AD.

06:33:38.720 --> 06:33:42.240
But I think you need some armor, because that is one of the weaknesses of this style of build,

06:33:42.240 --> 06:33:45.400
is all you have is health. You have no armor whatsoever.

06:33:45.400 --> 06:33:48.420
And if MF hits three items and you still have no armor,

06:33:48.420 --> 06:33:51.000
yeah, you have a lot of health, but she hurts.

06:33:51.000 --> 06:33:52.680
100% agree there.

06:33:52.680 --> 06:33:57.480
So we'll continue to monitor as HLE are trying to keep it calm

06:33:57.480 --> 06:34:01.000
and not let BLG increase that gold lead.

06:34:01.000 --> 06:34:04.160
It does just barely crest 2000 now,

06:34:04.160 --> 06:34:07.040
but has been kept fairly stable.

06:34:07.040 --> 06:34:12.040
Again, it's also very important to continue to clean the wards.

06:34:12.040 --> 06:34:14.200
You cannot afford to get flanked again.

06:34:14.200 --> 06:34:16.740
You cannot afford for us fight to start

06:34:16.740 --> 06:34:18.560
with Guma instantly deleted.

06:34:18.560 --> 06:34:21.160
You need some damage out of that, Yunara.

06:34:21.160 --> 06:34:22.800
I think so much of this comes down to on.

06:34:22.800 --> 06:34:25.760
His positioning, utilizing his passive

06:34:25.760 --> 06:34:28.040
to be frustrating, confusing, annoying.

06:34:28.040 --> 06:34:31.200
And the Niko, if he finds his target,

06:34:31.200 --> 06:34:33.240
you were mentioning it, if Gumiishi goes down

06:34:33.240 --> 06:34:34.240
at the start of these fights,

06:34:34.240 --> 06:34:35.320
Mundo can go where he please,

06:34:35.320 --> 06:34:37.760
but it's probably gonna end up at the death chamber.

06:34:37.760 --> 06:34:39.280
I've gotta say, if I made you a lead,

06:34:39.280 --> 06:34:41.320
I feel like you should just give this next dragon.

06:34:41.320 --> 06:34:44.720
Mundo is 15, Bin is 16, just keep scaling.

06:34:44.720 --> 06:34:46.440
A lot of these extra items come through.

06:34:46.440 --> 06:34:48.640
I think the game gets better and better for you.

06:34:48.640 --> 06:34:51.600
And I feel like right now, Bin is kind of at his strongest.

06:34:51.600 --> 06:34:54.800
He just hit 16, he just completed another item.

06:34:54.800 --> 06:34:58.560
And Xehas has so much room to grow as does Guma.

06:34:58.560 --> 06:35:00.400
I mean, when he hits IE, for example,

06:35:00.400 --> 06:35:01.760
he gets way stronger.

06:35:01.760 --> 06:35:03.520
Yeah, it's dangerous for them right now

06:35:03.520 --> 06:35:05.920
because there's so many things they have to keep track of.

06:35:05.920 --> 06:35:08.080
You mentioned on and the creativity he could have

06:35:08.080 --> 06:35:13.200
than engage with protobelt and flash ready on the Niko and Knight has the burst damage.

06:35:13.200 --> 06:35:19.240
Knight right now is terrifying on the Aurora so if they do get that engage, he can convert

06:35:19.240 --> 06:35:20.680
the kill.

06:35:20.680 --> 06:35:25.680
The approach is dangerous but HLE have also done a fairly good job of keeping that vision

06:35:25.680 --> 06:35:32.520
covered so if they continue to check all of their flanks here, try and mark the engagers,

06:35:32.520 --> 06:35:34.120
they're going for the dragon again.

06:35:34.120 --> 06:35:37.960
While the Mundo is walking from the topside of the map, a face check here from Zechars.

06:35:37.960 --> 06:35:41.480
He gets himself out of the way. The between worlds comes down. Great Polybop comes in.

06:35:41.480 --> 06:35:47.000
Ceasar's assist and Shun! He is gonna have to do that as now Zayus makes his way in!

06:35:47.000 --> 06:35:53.080
Three people! I do not think he minds! As Kanavi not gonna be diving on top, but look at Zayus!

06:35:53.080 --> 06:35:56.360
He's just gonna buy the time for them to try and take down this dragon.

06:35:56.360 --> 06:36:01.160
It's only at 50%, but there is no smite to try and lock this up, so it should be

06:36:01.160 --> 06:36:03.460
a soul point going over to HLE.

06:36:03.460 --> 06:36:05.160
BLG not on the same page?

06:36:05.160 --> 06:36:06.200
Shouldn't want to be engaged.

06:36:06.200 --> 06:36:08.200
You wanted the burst image on the side list,

06:36:08.200 --> 06:36:09.800
but they're not there to convert,

06:36:09.800 --> 06:36:12.300
and he just goes down for free.

06:36:12.300 --> 06:36:14.660
Dragon's soul point for HLE.

06:36:14.660 --> 06:36:16.260
And Zekka's pretty tanky.

06:36:16.260 --> 06:36:18.560
It's just not a target that you can easily one-shot.

06:36:18.560 --> 06:36:19.760
The Lulu was there behind him,

06:36:19.760 --> 06:36:21.960
didn't even meet the wild growth.

06:36:21.960 --> 06:36:23.560
MF is not there.

06:36:23.560 --> 06:36:24.460
On is not there.

06:36:24.460 --> 06:36:25.660
Bin is not there.

06:36:25.660 --> 06:36:27.460
It's a confusing decision from Shun

06:36:27.460 --> 06:36:28.960
and one that costs a big time.

06:36:28.960 --> 06:36:30.360
Did he think?

06:36:30.360 --> 06:36:32.360
Yeah, I mean we're looking at it here.

06:36:32.360 --> 06:36:35.360
They're looking at them from the top. They knew that they were there.

06:36:35.360 --> 06:36:38.360
And he had died with them, but that is not going to be enough.

06:36:38.360 --> 06:36:40.360
Like, they're split and that is a one-way ticket.

06:36:40.360 --> 06:36:43.360
Yeah, I mean, sure. If Guma face checks you, you go with two.

06:36:43.360 --> 06:36:44.360
Yeah!

06:36:44.360 --> 06:36:46.360
If Zekka face checks you with the Lulu behind him,

06:36:46.360 --> 06:36:48.360
you have to get through the Merc Shield on the boots.

06:36:48.360 --> 06:36:50.360
You have to get through all those HP.

06:36:50.360 --> 06:36:53.360
This is not a zero health build.

06:36:53.360 --> 06:36:56.360
So, very surprising choice there from Shen

06:36:56.360 --> 06:36:58.360
and just gets easily Polymorph burst down.

06:36:58.360 --> 06:37:01.960
down they only got second to about half HP without the Wild Growth being used.

06:37:01.960 --> 06:37:07.640
And again it's a critical moment because you don't get a lot of time back with this comp for BLG.

06:37:09.160 --> 06:37:12.040
It's a difficulty especially when every one of these

06:37:12.840 --> 06:37:17.080
chemtech dragons that are stacked up just feels worse and worse when there's a Mundo

06:37:17.080 --> 06:37:22.040
that's just got regenning health over and over again. Zekka there as well without Kingslayer.

06:37:22.040 --> 06:37:25.720
Is this just walking up? Does it take a bit of damage here though as we can see?

06:37:25.720 --> 06:37:29.880
Guess the wild growth is there, the knock-ups are pop-lossing, doesn't quite work out, but

06:37:29.880 --> 06:37:34.840
Zayas wants decent as he dives on in the chain-lash, comes down, and Zayas takes out Finn!

06:37:34.840 --> 06:37:39.800
These heaven-fives are so reliable, he's taken out, but Zekka will fall as well!

06:37:39.800 --> 06:37:44.040
Most importantly, Gov'nish, he stays alive, and they'll take down the Auditaurant!

06:37:44.040 --> 06:37:48.440
And Zayas takes it all! He's still on the push, he's back to full ak!

06:37:48.440 --> 06:37:53.640
Wait, how do you stop this man? He's just walking towards them!

06:37:53.640 --> 06:38:02.460
Maybe there's a meeting behind their fountain that he's laid for. I don't know, but he has places to be and it requires going through BLG.

06:38:02.460 --> 06:38:05.900
Yep, that's not gonna kill him. He just keeps walking.

06:38:05.900 --> 06:38:14.500
Zayas has a meeting and it's feeling like it might be with the MSI trophy after that fight. He survives in the mid lane.

06:38:14.500 --> 06:38:20.600
BLG make the call that we can burst down the Mundo, full send everything on Zayas.

06:38:20.600 --> 06:38:24.440
and very narrowly they are not able to do it.

06:38:24.440 --> 06:38:26.440
Look how low they get him. They throw down the ult.

06:38:26.440 --> 06:38:29.560
But look at the heart sapper. He got it off before the file came through.

06:38:29.560 --> 06:38:30.760
It wasn't perfectly layered.

06:38:30.760 --> 06:38:33.400
He flashes out. He gets a wild growth. He survives.

06:38:33.400 --> 06:38:35.400
And then Guba has free reign.

06:38:35.400 --> 06:38:38.920
Exactly. He's hitting the entire time.

06:38:38.920 --> 06:38:43.000
Even though they lose the Pantheon, they lose the Silas,

06:38:43.000 --> 06:38:44.360
they continue to push.

06:38:44.360 --> 06:38:47.160
Zayn is back to full health and keeps the pressure off.

06:38:47.160 --> 06:38:50.160
And he can feel it, can't you?

06:38:50.160 --> 06:38:53.160
Once again, Zayas, he's used to this.

06:38:53.160 --> 06:38:56.160
He just says, Guru must stand behind me and shoot.

06:38:56.160 --> 06:38:58.160
And that absolutely happened.

06:38:58.160 --> 06:39:00.160
And BLG now really.

06:39:00.160 --> 06:39:02.160
Binsley just gone completely now.

06:39:02.160 --> 06:39:03.160
Zayas level 17.

06:39:03.160 --> 06:39:05.160
Spear of Ice is complete.

06:39:05.160 --> 06:39:08.160
Has the Claw Thumber building towards that fourth item.

06:39:08.160 --> 06:39:12.160
And I feel like BLG, losing that third dragon fight, was so critical.

06:39:12.160 --> 06:39:13.160
That was their moment.

06:39:13.160 --> 06:39:15.160
And Bin now spotted on a flank.

06:39:15.160 --> 06:39:21.160
Yeah, the World Ender is going to come on through. He gets polymorphed, is now Zeca finds a cease and assist towards Sean.

06:39:21.160 --> 06:39:25.160
Zeca is just wonders in tonight though, it's Ben getting chased out.

06:39:25.160 --> 06:39:30.160
Gumiishi following him, that's it, he locks it up, on-fights the air with his pop blossom.

06:39:30.160 --> 06:39:36.160
Zeca is going to actually back to Kickstarter to take out Sean, they'll lose their Lula,

06:39:36.160 --> 06:39:41.160
but Arn is not alone for the world and Knight is running the wrong direction.

06:39:41.160 --> 06:39:43.160
BLG have fallen apart.

06:39:43.160 --> 06:39:47.160
BLG's battle lines are completely scrambled

06:39:47.160 --> 06:39:50.160
and they're fed overrun.

06:39:50.160 --> 06:39:54.160
In a series that felt like it might just be BLG's,

06:39:54.160 --> 06:39:58.160
it is HLE battling back and back to back games.

06:39:58.160 --> 06:40:00.160
It is Zayas on the swing.

06:40:00.160 --> 06:40:03.160
It is Zayas on the moondo, a brick wall

06:40:03.160 --> 06:40:07.160
that BLG just have no answer to.

06:40:07.160 --> 06:40:10.160
And from a team that got knocked out of the LCK Cup

06:40:10.160 --> 06:40:17.460
LCK Cup so incredibly quickly to now be this close to hoisting the MSI trophy.

06:40:17.460 --> 06:40:20.360
Only two other LCK teams have been able to do that.

06:40:20.360 --> 06:40:26.360
Mama Life Esports will join that roster and that is going to be the Baron in their hands.

06:40:26.360 --> 06:40:28.260
Let's have a look at this one more time.

06:40:28.260 --> 06:40:29.960
BLG, Bin up here, it starts out.

06:40:29.960 --> 06:40:33.960
He's on the top side and so HLE are fighting two fights at once.

06:40:33.960 --> 06:40:39.660
Zeka down here with Shun versus everybody else taking all the HP away from Bin and

06:40:39.660 --> 06:40:43.380
pushing them out. It's almost like three fights.

06:40:43.380 --> 06:40:44.940
Zayas just can't be stopped right?

06:40:44.940 --> 06:40:47.620
Zayas was kind of like 1v3 holding back their carries

06:40:47.620 --> 06:40:49.340
in that moment.

06:40:49.340 --> 06:40:51.740
And even though the ball time comes down,

06:40:51.740 --> 06:40:53.380
Fyker is just out of range and grew up.

06:40:53.380 --> 06:40:54.460
The ball time was not hitting him.

06:40:54.460 --> 06:40:56.100
He was rooted up, but he was rooted up

06:40:56.100 --> 06:40:58.300
just a pixel or two away from it.

06:40:58.300 --> 06:41:00.620
Oh my goodness, the change gonna find nine.

06:41:00.620 --> 06:41:02.620
He's knocked up with a pop blossom from on.

06:41:02.620 --> 06:41:04.180
It is going to connect with Deli,

06:41:04.180 --> 06:41:05.340
who is taken out immediately.

06:41:05.340 --> 06:41:07.540
They want their mid-sheen and a bite into the pop blossom

06:41:07.540 --> 06:41:09.020
from Zekka is massive.

06:41:09.020 --> 06:41:13.540
Still, they get their target and Bin is gigantic in this frontline.

06:41:13.540 --> 06:41:17.460
That's the GA popped. Bin is still a problem, but so is Zayas.

06:41:17.460 --> 06:41:22.420
As both of these top laners feel unkillable, Zaka's still alive as he's now looking for Sean.

06:41:22.420 --> 06:41:26.540
He'll get in on top of him. Kanavi, taken out by the Atrox.

06:41:26.540 --> 06:41:34.380
Zayas seems impossible to move. Zaka might be an option here, but the chains go wide and Bin shuts him down.

06:41:34.380 --> 06:41:36.900
BLG still have a bit left in the tank.

06:41:36.900 --> 06:41:42.180
The sustained wars go the way of BLG at the critical moment! They'll deny the soul!

06:41:42.180 --> 06:41:49.740
That is insane! They found the angle, they're Viper fully committed, flashing in to get the kill and then Zeku with the stolen pop-offs.

06:41:49.740 --> 06:41:53.020
And I thought that would be enough. Zeus is coming back.

06:41:53.020 --> 06:41:58.660
Yeah, he's just gonna walk in to two people. They are going to leave because this Mundo is such a problem.

06:41:58.660 --> 06:42:03.300
But they have to ignore him if they are going to win these fights and that's exactly what they did.

06:42:03.300 --> 06:42:05.380
And BLG, they know they don't have a lot of time to work with.

06:42:05.380 --> 06:42:07.900
They have to fight their way back into this one.

06:42:07.900 --> 06:42:11.420
Zeka goes in to start it out on Knight, but look at the retaliation.

06:42:11.420 --> 06:42:15.060
And watch Viper, the pop wasm, and Shun going in on the Gooma.

06:42:15.060 --> 06:42:17.700
And Viper just instantly flashes in onto him.

06:42:17.700 --> 06:42:20.340
And then you think for a second, is Gooma going to survive

06:42:20.340 --> 06:42:22.620
with that pop wasm landing?

06:42:22.620 --> 06:42:24.140
But he does not.

06:42:24.140 --> 06:42:27.460
And Ben, that's so much work done here.

06:42:27.460 --> 06:42:28.260
He does.

06:42:28.260 --> 06:42:32.740
The Aatrox, the God of War, and actually on BLG's side.

06:42:32.740 --> 06:42:34.940
And they take them down.

06:42:34.940 --> 06:42:36.700
Konami gets chopped up.

06:42:36.700 --> 06:42:39.860
Should surviving versus Zucka up here as well,

06:42:39.860 --> 06:42:41.780
with his center and sky.

06:42:41.780 --> 06:42:46.060
And they're able to clutch it at the Dragon Soul denial.

06:42:46.060 --> 06:42:48.020
All right, still four minutes.

06:42:48.020 --> 06:42:50.220
And HLA have an opportunity to do that again.

06:42:50.220 --> 06:42:52.860
Azaius pushes this wave towards this turret.

06:42:52.860 --> 06:42:55.620
I have a feeling we are seconds away from another scrap.

06:42:55.620 --> 06:42:56.460
What a banger.

06:42:56.460 --> 06:42:57.220
Just might be.

06:42:57.220 --> 06:42:59.740
I mean, Gooma is now a full item ahead here.

06:42:59.740 --> 06:43:01.540
Has that 2.5K lead.

06:43:01.540 --> 06:43:06.100
almost getting one shot though but Viper also has his IE so there is going to be some real

06:43:06.100 --> 06:43:10.820
damage behind this bullet time but HLE pressing with the Baron. Yeah they will be able to take

06:43:10.820 --> 06:43:16.180
down this Inatarat, the dregs of this Baron, the Rebel Baron power play, basically neutral

06:43:16.180 --> 06:43:21.140
for now as it does finally dissipate and Shun just comes over and casually smites the big

06:43:21.140 --> 06:43:26.900
raptor and will be able to claim his for his own. Let's see what the second he's able to get himself

06:43:26.900 --> 06:43:31.740
out of here as he will be able to escape. So everything feels like it's been

06:43:31.740 --> 06:43:36.500
almost entirely evened out as a result to that answering play from BLG.

06:43:36.500 --> 06:43:42.140
It's huge. I mean can BLG continue to find these kills on Togumo Yushi? They

06:43:42.140 --> 06:43:48.420
have had so many good engages. The flank towards mid lane, the fight here towards

06:43:48.420 --> 06:43:52.540
dragon. If they can take him down at the beginning then they can scrap it out too.

06:43:52.540 --> 06:43:57.740
their bruisers with stacking conqueror and keeping it going they absolutely can

06:43:57.740 --> 06:44:02.260
but that's the big question can you do that every single time because it only

06:44:02.260 --> 06:44:06.700
takes once for Guma to escape for Guma to survive and you are gonna get wiped

06:44:06.700 --> 06:44:11.740
off the map yes the goal lead is largely minimized but the scaling is not

06:44:11.740 --> 06:44:15.780
Mundo still getting stronger he has a Randwins now Guma as we touched on half

06:44:15.780 --> 06:44:19.780
that IE has four items and he has the support behind him business is so

06:44:19.780 --> 06:44:24.980
critical. Here we go! Oh, that's Kanavi actually going up into the sky. He's away from the fight,

06:44:24.980 --> 06:44:29.620
the bullet-type by Skouma, and the pop lost him. He's not going to do too much here from Zekka.

06:44:29.620 --> 06:44:34.260
They try to dive into that backline. They'll take down Viper, but what else can they get?

06:44:34.260 --> 06:44:38.980
Zayus is able to get in there and find his angle. Delight should be taken out as the

06:44:38.980 --> 06:44:43.620
polymorph should not be quite enough, and it's a double kill for Shun. But now Zayus is just

06:44:43.620 --> 06:44:49.060
just a moveable, the stun onto Bin as it's jungler and top laner versus each other.

06:44:49.060 --> 06:44:57.620
Bin and Shen they take out Pinavi and Zayas he may just be mortal in the end and Shen will be out of putting him down.

06:44:57.620 --> 06:45:00.980
Bin at full health, he's gonna continue the push.

06:45:00.980 --> 06:45:04.580
It was both junglers looking for a play at the same time.

06:45:04.580 --> 06:45:10.660
Pantheon was ulting towards mid, Shen saw him leave, RZ Blast codes and he doesn't care.

06:45:10.660 --> 06:45:14.780
Straight for Gooma, and Gooma down again without any damage!

06:45:14.780 --> 06:45:17.100
BLG! They did it again!

06:45:17.100 --> 06:45:22.300
How do they keep finding these angles every single time?

06:45:22.300 --> 06:45:26.780
They are just straight onto Gooma, finding the perfect engage.

06:45:26.780 --> 06:45:29.140
Every single fight.

06:45:29.140 --> 06:45:32.940
Epic Game 5 here! It is incredible!

06:45:32.940 --> 06:45:34.580
There is no gold lead.

06:45:34.580 --> 06:45:38.220
At this point, it is 34 minutes into the game, and finally,

06:45:38.220 --> 06:45:40.520
BLG gets one to tick over.

06:45:40.840 --> 06:45:45.120
This is absolutely absurd how incredibly close it is and how impressive it is

06:45:45.120 --> 06:45:48.260
that BLG can make this teamfight look so good in these fights.

06:45:48.260 --> 06:45:51.760
And we started the replay right after the moment I was talking about

06:45:51.760 --> 06:45:55.220
and shouldn't Blast phones over to where Kanagi is leading from

06:45:55.220 --> 06:45:56.520
and they deleted Guma.

06:45:56.520 --> 06:46:00.060
And then it's just all about killing everyone around Zayas.

06:46:00.060 --> 06:46:03.120
You gotta kill the ad before you can take down the boss, man.

06:46:03.260 --> 06:46:07.960
Then you gotta get everyone out of here or he is just gonna run you down.

06:46:07.960 --> 06:46:13.560
They ignore him, they fight around him, and then there's Flash 2-3 from Ben, and he got the percentage HP.

06:46:14.360 --> 06:46:17.560
Absolutely massive, as Zayas head in hands here.

06:46:17.960 --> 06:46:24.460
It is not over yet, but it's feeling like BLG are winning fight after fight at this stage.

06:46:24.460 --> 06:46:27.560
Baron up and available once again, and Zayas is held far.

06:46:27.560 --> 06:46:29.260
Once more, looks like a barcode.

06:46:29.260 --> 06:46:32.760
Atlas, from Champions Select, we say you have to mic the flanks.

06:46:32.760 --> 06:46:35.660
You have to mark the flanks for HLE.

06:46:35.660 --> 06:46:39.020
You cannot allow these engages onto Guma again.

06:46:39.020 --> 06:46:42.500
I mean, Hexec, you know, Rift did help with the Super Blast Goal,

06:46:42.500 --> 06:46:46.820
but this time around, BLG is starting the Baron, trying to draw HLE in.

06:46:46.820 --> 06:46:48.420
Alzeaz can definitely facecheck.

06:46:48.420 --> 06:46:51.540
He is going to do that, as Knight takes a briefcase to the face.

06:46:51.540 --> 06:46:54.900
Can Adi has a megaphone in order to get himself in here as well,

06:46:54.900 --> 06:46:56.740
as Gumiishi is hunting.

06:46:56.740 --> 06:46:58.620
They know about his frontline position here as well,

06:46:58.620 --> 06:46:59.980
as Knight does get himself out of the way.

06:46:59.980 --> 06:47:01.940
The briefcase doesn't land onto Viper,

06:47:01.940 --> 06:47:03.300
and the pump lesson does come down,

06:47:03.300 --> 06:47:06.960
He's just falling, they get on top of him in his fortune, but at what cost?

06:47:06.960 --> 06:47:10.620
From Yushi trying to catch away from Ben, he is put down to the G.A.

06:47:10.620 --> 06:47:13.280
Shun pops back up, and Muguma flashes out.

06:47:13.280 --> 06:47:16.500
Now Ben looks to get on top of him, and he stashes out of the way.

06:47:16.500 --> 06:47:21.700
And this is what a team fight looks like when Yushi stays alive.

06:47:21.700 --> 06:47:28.200
HLE will look for even more as Kanabe celebrates early alts underneath this inner turret.

06:47:28.200 --> 06:47:30.080
And I think they may have done it.

06:47:30.080 --> 06:47:32.740
How will I be so it's made interesting at the Golden Road?

06:47:32.740 --> 06:47:40.740
Incredibly costly mistake from BLG! HLE will retake the game and the series back!

06:47:40.740 --> 06:47:48.240
And it looks like the orange tank is going to fold us! The Golden Road is in a move from Armando!

06:47:48.240 --> 06:47:53.740
We'll take down these Mexican turrets, pop lots of his celebration from Seca!

06:47:53.740 --> 06:47:59.740
As humble like these ones, they've already done first stand and they'll do MSI as well!

06:48:02.740 --> 06:48:21.920
in a back and for gay PLG every fight had their eyes on Gumi Ushi they set up the

06:48:21.920 --> 06:48:26.180
perfect fight for HLE by starting the baron by sticking on the baron by allowing

06:48:26.180 --> 06:48:29.980
driver to be chased out. Gumi cannot be accessed because Knight is not there

06:48:29.980 --> 06:48:37.500
On is not there they ended to the silver platter and HLE are all too happy to punish to take it

06:48:37.500 --> 06:48:40.380
And to play the LCRT NSI title

06:48:42.660 --> 06:48:46.260
They might be able to get that one as well. Yeah, we'll see about that

06:48:47.660 --> 06:48:48.860
My goodness though

06:48:48.860 --> 06:48:55.500
It is shocking such a shocking way for it to end after the previous fight where they had their eyes and their goal set on the

06:48:55.500 --> 06:49:02.340
flank and set to head on killing Gumiishi, but they'd get themselves inside a Baron and HLE said not on my watch

06:49:02.460 --> 06:49:08.420
Zeus is happy to run them out. Kanabi is happy to steal that Baron and HLE

06:49:08.460 --> 06:49:10.980
They will take away that trophy

06:49:11.580 --> 06:49:17.060
And HLE it looked almost hopeless the first time these two teams met in that upper bracket final

06:49:17.100 --> 06:49:22.980
You just felt like BLG had control of that series. They lose one game, but that was it

06:49:22.980 --> 06:49:31.780
they then come back so incredibly strong. HLE needed absolutely everything in order to clutch this out.

06:49:31.780 --> 06:49:38.420
As Zayas the immovable Mundo will hoist that trophy, the third Korean organization

06:49:39.220 --> 06:49:49.620
to be able to do so here as Kanavi, his first time back in Korea and already he's managed to win MSI.

06:49:49.620 --> 06:49:54.620
I'm still in shock over that day, but I can't believe it.

06:49:54.620 --> 06:49:56.620
I can't believe that I did like that.

06:49:56.620 --> 06:49:59.620
Congratulations, though, to HLE.

06:49:59.620 --> 06:50:01.620
They had a scale at this tournament.

06:50:01.620 --> 06:50:04.620
They lost to BLG in the upper finals,

06:50:04.620 --> 06:50:08.620
and they clutch it in game number five.

06:50:08.620 --> 06:50:11.620
Back-to-back series, they were down one-two,

06:50:11.620 --> 06:50:14.620
and back-to-back series, they stepped up in game four,

06:50:14.620 --> 06:50:17.620
in game five, knocking out Lyon,

06:50:17.620 --> 06:50:22.740
by a knocking out BLG, who was looking like the best team

06:50:22.740 --> 06:50:27.340
at the tournament, but seeing so critical on these picks,

06:50:27.340 --> 06:50:30.060
swaying and getting four back-to-back series massive,

06:50:30.060 --> 06:50:32.820
the Mundo massive in this one.

06:50:32.820 --> 06:50:35.500
HLE clutched up, would it matter most?

06:50:35.500 --> 06:50:38.460
And this is the crazy thing, it was around this time last year

06:50:38.460 --> 06:50:41.060
that this team fully collapsed.

06:50:41.060 --> 06:50:44.060
It was road to MSI, where they were up two games,

06:50:44.060 --> 06:50:47.060
they get reverse swept, and then just swept,

06:50:47.060 --> 06:50:49.660
And then their MSI dream had died.

06:50:49.660 --> 06:50:53.300
This time around, they did not lose hope.

06:50:53.300 --> 06:50:56.460
They actually managed to stick in it.

06:50:56.460 --> 06:51:00.580
And I think Coach O'Moghly there deserve a whole lot of props

06:51:00.580 --> 06:51:04.140
because the bounce back from that last loss against BLG,

06:51:04.140 --> 06:51:06.060
where honestly it looked like they were ploundering

06:51:06.060 --> 06:51:10.020
in the draft, this last game so much better

06:51:10.020 --> 06:51:12.340
out of Pumble like these was.

06:51:12.340 --> 06:51:16.380
And they get the extra seed for the LCK at Worlds,

06:51:16.380 --> 06:51:19.060
The rewards are huge here.

06:51:21.580 --> 06:51:24.140
Oh man, just really, I didn't think

06:51:24.140 --> 06:51:26.500
that this was going to be the outcome

06:51:26.500 --> 06:51:30.600
because BLG's Golden Road, it looked almost set in stone.

06:51:31.860 --> 06:51:35.100
Here in Daydream, there is now two people

06:51:35.100 --> 06:51:39.380
that have managed to hoist all of the Riot trophies now.

06:51:39.380 --> 06:51:42.740
And it is Zeca and Zaeus.

06:51:42.740 --> 06:51:49.980
And it's amazing to see these players establishing a new legacy here on honor life e-sports

06:51:50.540 --> 06:51:56.840
Two players from T1 establish themselves initially in their career there come to a new organization steaming up

06:51:57.220 --> 06:52:03.220
With Zeka with the light and they have created a new powerhouse in the world

06:52:03.780 --> 06:52:09.340
They are the best team in the world today taking down BLG a team that has looked unstoppable

06:52:09.740 --> 06:52:11.900
Not only here, but at first stand

06:52:11.900 --> 06:52:20.900
And we're heading to the stage for an interview.

06:52:20.900 --> 06:52:31.900
We have the winner for the 20-26 MSI and the winner is Hana Life Esports, congratulations.

06:52:31.900 --> 06:52:39.900
Now let's hear from Kuma Yushi and the light on the side of Hana Life Esports.

06:52:39.900 --> 06:52:43.900
Congratulations on the win. Thank you very much.

06:52:43.900 --> 06:52:48.900
First off, Kumayusi.

06:52:48.900 --> 06:52:53.900
You've completed a world's three-peat, but this is your first MSI title.

06:52:53.900 --> 06:52:56.900
How does it feel? Does it feel new?

06:53:09.900 --> 06:53:27.140
I want to thank my god for letting me achieve this huge accomplishment.

06:53:27.140 --> 06:53:34.380
And I won World 3 times IMDb but this is my first MSI title.

06:53:34.380 --> 06:53:39.380
And it brings me all the past MSI memories back.

06:53:39.380 --> 06:53:44.380
It makes me wonder why I couldn't win the past MSIs,

06:53:44.380 --> 06:53:49.380
but still, thankfully, with the new members of the Saipan Life Sports,

06:53:49.380 --> 06:53:55.380
and especially the Tels, who shared the same heartbreak

06:53:55.380 --> 06:53:59.380
by being the runner-up in the past MSI.

06:53:59.380 --> 06:54:03.380
I'm so happy that together we were able to pull this off.

06:54:03.380 --> 06:54:09.380
This is the first time in MSI history that the team from the host region has won the title.

06:54:09.380 --> 06:54:10.380
You have broken the curse.

06:54:10.380 --> 06:54:13.380
What do you thought of that?

06:54:13.380 --> 06:54:22.380
I think this title means so much in various aspects.

06:54:22.380 --> 06:54:26.380
It means so much to me as well.

06:54:26.380 --> 06:54:34.380
Fans here in Daejeon, and also all around the world, sent you so much passion and support.

06:54:34.380 --> 06:54:36.380
Could you say a few words to them as well?

06:54:42.380 --> 06:54:46.380
This is my first international title after finding a new team.

06:54:46.380 --> 06:54:55.460
And I left the message when I was leaving my previous team.

06:54:55.460 --> 06:55:01.020
I told my fans the KumaYoshi story never ends and I will be looking forward to the same

06:55:01.020 --> 06:55:07.900
support from the fans and I will keep the KumaYoshi story going so please keep on supporting

06:55:07.900 --> 06:55:08.900
me.

06:55:08.900 --> 06:55:09.900
Thank you very much.

06:55:09.900 --> 06:55:20.740
Now, Delight, huge congratulations on your first MSI title.

06:55:20.740 --> 06:55:21.740
How do you feel?

06:55:21.740 --> 06:55:30.620
I'm really happy that I won my first MSI title.

06:55:30.620 --> 06:55:37.740
Our final opponent was VLG and I've always lost to On on international stage and tonight

06:55:37.740 --> 06:55:39.740
I'm going to get a really good sleep.

06:55:39.740 --> 06:55:41.940
Finally, I got to win up against him.

06:55:45.940 --> 06:55:49.540
Now, you guys are playing back-to-back five gamers.

06:55:49.540 --> 06:55:54.140
What kind of mindset did you have coming into the series today?

06:55:54.140 --> 06:55:56.040
Not much pressure at the beginning,

06:55:56.040 --> 06:55:58.640
but when you were down to one and two,

06:55:58.640 --> 06:56:01.140
I was like, ah, I really don't want to lose here.

06:56:01.140 --> 06:56:06.140
So I came back on stage with a mindset that I'm going to win.

06:56:07.740 --> 06:56:10.740
Not that you have won the MSI. What's your next goal?

06:56:12.740 --> 06:56:15.740
The world is the next international.

06:56:15.740 --> 06:56:19.740
In the past, I've always could not make it to the finals.

06:56:19.740 --> 06:56:23.740
I got eliminated in the quarters. I was not never able to make it to the finals.

06:56:23.740 --> 06:56:29.740
So this time around, I wish I can make it to the finals and win the world title.

06:56:29.740 --> 06:56:46.140
Now, that was Kuma Yushi and Delight on the side of Honolive Esports.

06:56:46.140 --> 06:56:53.140
Now it is time to reveal the 2026 MSI Grand Final,

06:56:53.140 --> 06:56:55.140
Opho Final MVP.

06:57:04.140 --> 06:57:08.140
Let's get their votes from all around the world.

06:57:08.140 --> 06:57:11.140
And their Opho Final MVP is this.

06:57:11.140 --> 06:57:13.140
Congratulations.

06:57:16.140 --> 06:57:23.140
Congratulations, Jaws. Thank you very much.

06:57:23.140 --> 06:57:36.140
With this MSI title, you and Zeca have become the first players to complete the sweep of every brand international tournament.

06:57:36.140 --> 06:57:43.140
And now you've become the final MVP, how does it feel?

06:57:43.140 --> 06:57:48.140
First off, this tournament, this MSI, was really difficult.

06:57:48.140 --> 06:57:51.140
There were some moments where I really wanted to give up.

06:57:51.140 --> 06:57:59.140
However, after I joined HANA Live last year, there were some moments when I didn't have enough faith in myself.

06:57:59.140 --> 06:58:01.140
I was doubting myself.

06:58:01.140 --> 06:58:09.960
But I just kept on listening to support coming from the fans because the fans always kept

06:58:09.960 --> 06:58:11.200
on believing me.

06:58:11.200 --> 06:58:17.320
I was able to keep on grinding and after all that hard work, I got this opportunity and

06:58:17.320 --> 06:58:18.320
I'm so grateful.

06:58:18.320 --> 06:58:35.160
Congratulations to this and the fans are also absolutely happy to see you winning this

06:58:35.160 --> 06:58:40.080
OPPO finals MVP.

06:58:40.080 --> 06:58:43.920
We were able to see some of the special picks from you.

06:58:43.920 --> 06:58:48.920
Dr. Mundo and her, you played Swain for a long long time ago.

06:58:50.920 --> 06:58:56.920
I think I was in like a middle school and I won my first PC Bank tournament on top Swain.

06:58:56.920 --> 06:58:59.920
And that has become my favorite champion since then.

06:59:03.920 --> 06:59:06.920
You are truly the Korea's national top laner.

06:59:06.920 --> 06:59:15.920
Now that you have set the record of winning every international tournament, what is your new goal?

06:59:15.920 --> 06:59:29.920
Yeah, like you just told me, me and Zeka did want something something, but you know Zeka didn't actually win EWC, so next time with EWC, I'm going to help Zeka to win that title as well.

06:59:29.920 --> 06:59:31.920
That title as well.

06:59:35.920 --> 06:59:39.920
Thank you very much, Zeus. I wish you all the best of luck in the future.

06:59:39.920 --> 07:00:06.920
That was Zeus, the BOPL finals MVP of 2026 Miss Season Invitational, and it is time to close out the 2026 MSI.

07:00:06.920 --> 07:00:14.920
And before we do so, we would like to thank the city of K-Zone and all of you for being such incredible hosts over the past few weeks.

07:00:14.920 --> 07:00:20.920
And to all the fans who have been put us during this entire journey, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

07:00:20.920 --> 07:00:35.160
Thank you, Subin. Thank you, G-Sun. And thank you, Honwa Life Esports. On behalf of the

07:00:35.160 --> 07:00:42.320
LCK fans, it's a beautiful day for them here today in De Jong. What an amazing recovery.

07:00:42.320 --> 07:00:48.700
What an amazing comeback! After failing short against BLG earlier in the competition, they

07:00:48.700 --> 07:00:56.060
managed to do it. It took five games back to back here for them to finally do it but they did

07:00:56.060 --> 07:01:03.660
and even within that game five there was moments where BLG pushed them to the edge but when you

07:01:03.660 --> 07:01:11.260
have the caliber of players that home what does you don't blink you stand tall you fight back

07:01:11.260 --> 07:01:16.700
and you raise trophies and how important is it for the LCK to have another team that can be clutched

07:01:16.700 --> 07:01:23.060
It doesn't fall flat when things look hard or when a game looks a little bit dire something that we always associate with T1

07:01:23.060 --> 07:01:25.160
We've always wondered is it the org is that the players and right now

07:01:25.160 --> 07:01:30.140
It's feeling like the players because it was Zeus and Guma who were bringing it home in the final game

07:01:30.140 --> 07:01:33.220
Who were the difference maker in the key moments of the series?

07:01:33.300 --> 07:01:39.260
One of the craziest things about this series to me is last year when Viper was on HLE

07:01:39.260 --> 07:01:45.220
It was Viper Life Esports that played through him over and over again and people thought when Guma joins the team

07:01:45.220 --> 07:01:49.700
Oh, he can be this weak side teammate, but what did we see in the games today?

07:01:49.980 --> 07:01:57.540
We saw him accumulating massive leads over Viper in 2v2's and again

07:01:57.980 --> 07:01:59.980
hoisting an international trophy

07:02:00.300 --> 07:02:04.460
And we saw him get the best out of the matchup that didn't work the first time

07:02:04.460 --> 07:02:08.500
we saw him get the best against Viper against the guy who can do it all and

07:02:08.860 --> 07:02:14.940
In the end it is Honwa Life Esports prevailing and I do appreciate the fact that at the beginning of the year

07:02:14.940 --> 07:02:20.140
We were looking at Gen G. We were looking at C1, but Honwa life clutched in the end

07:02:20.140 --> 07:02:23.520
It's not gonna be the Golden Road this time around for BLG

07:02:23.680 --> 07:02:27.060
But this sense of distance amazing me for the rest of the season

07:02:27.060 --> 07:02:31.360
It's the time of promise and I gotta give credit to you Jack. You said rain boss picks

07:02:32.920 --> 07:02:38.560
But it was it was rain boss picks it was not majors of the ballet the exact opposite of what I said

07:02:38.560 --> 07:02:40.800
And I think that they're objectively op on papers

07:02:40.800 --> 07:02:44.080
So the fact that HLE found a way to get this win

07:02:44.080 --> 07:02:46.400
without needing to over rely on those picks

07:02:46.400 --> 07:02:48.680
just makes it even more impressive.

07:02:48.680 --> 07:02:52.560
Bot lane mages, Guma lost with Ziggs,

07:02:52.560 --> 07:02:55.960
Viper lost with Mel, they were 0-2.

07:02:55.960 --> 07:02:59.360
Zayus was able to withstand whatever pressure

07:02:59.360 --> 07:03:01.800
Bin would try to apply to him in the early game

07:03:01.800 --> 07:03:03.200
and then carry in the late game.

07:03:03.200 --> 07:03:07.160
And then also the meaningful win for HLE

07:03:07.160 --> 07:03:08.960
in front of this home crowd in what

07:03:08.960 --> 07:03:11.060
has been an elusive tournament.

07:03:11.060 --> 07:03:16.300
Only SKT and Gen.G have won MSI for the LC cable for this,

07:03:16.300 --> 07:03:18.580
and HLE put their names with them.

07:03:18.580 --> 07:03:21.260
And also such a meaningful tournament for that man

07:03:21.260 --> 07:03:22.460
in the mid lane for them.

07:03:22.460 --> 07:03:25.660
Zeke playing against his old organization,

07:03:25.660 --> 07:03:27.100
managing to take the win.

07:03:27.100 --> 07:03:29.820
First series win ever against Knight,

07:03:29.820 --> 07:03:33.380
a man who was doubted when Fearless came into the meta.

07:03:33.380 --> 07:03:35.780
They didn't think he'd be able to evolve

07:03:35.780 --> 07:03:37.620
to become the player he has,

07:03:37.620 --> 07:03:44.080
But it feels like every single time Zeke is doubted, he demolishes that wall.

07:03:44.080 --> 07:03:46.440
He won Worlds off the back of that.

07:03:46.440 --> 07:03:54.660
Now he stands tall with every title available to him in the Riot Circus, just resting in his hands.

07:03:54.660 --> 07:03:55.540
And what a glove.

07:03:55.540 --> 07:03:57.900
We talked about how much he's expanded that champion pool.

07:03:57.900 --> 07:04:00.100
Game 1, it was the stability of new champions.

07:04:00.100 --> 07:04:01.560
It was the Orianna.

07:04:01.560 --> 07:04:03.060
Game 5 in the clutch.

07:04:03.060 --> 07:04:04.540
It's back to comfort.

07:04:04.540 --> 07:04:07.460
It's the depth of the champion pool that he gets to save those picks for later.

07:04:07.460 --> 07:04:09.940
to use them when they're the most optimal

07:04:09.940 --> 07:04:12.020
to show up when it matters most.

07:04:12.020 --> 07:04:13.820
And again, that's the development you want to see,

07:04:13.820 --> 07:04:15.060
especially if you're an HLE fan.

07:04:15.060 --> 07:04:17.020
You can see on the faces how much this means.

07:04:17.020 --> 07:04:19.900
Seeing this globe, seeing the success of this team,

07:04:19.900 --> 07:04:24.100
knowing now that this team can be a contender at Worlds,

07:04:24.100 --> 07:04:26.380
a team that could go the distance

07:04:26.380 --> 07:04:27.540
at international competition.

07:04:27.540 --> 07:04:30.060
And I do want to highlight how impressive it is

07:04:30.060 --> 07:04:33.140
for a team that is regarded as one of the best in the world,

07:04:33.140 --> 07:04:36.140
a team that all their teams have their eyes on

07:04:36.140 --> 07:04:38.260
when it comes to clutch moments like they said

07:04:38.260 --> 07:04:39.220
at international tournaments,

07:04:39.220 --> 07:04:42.460
the fact that they can manage to make those small improvements

07:04:42.460 --> 07:04:44.380
with the little time that they have

07:04:44.380 --> 07:04:47.100
after failing against a team that they faced off

07:04:47.100 --> 07:04:50.260
against defeating them when it matters the most,

07:04:50.260 --> 07:04:52.780
they can stand proud today.

07:04:52.780 --> 07:04:54.900
For you guys, what do you think it came down to?

07:04:54.900 --> 07:04:56.020
We've talked about the draft,

07:04:56.020 --> 07:04:57.420
but surely it's more than this.

07:04:57.420 --> 07:04:59.420
I mean, part of it is they came prepared.

07:04:59.420 --> 07:05:02.140
Look at these, you don't print these in 25 seconds,

07:05:02.140 --> 07:05:04.500
like they were ready with these custom jerseys,

07:05:04.500 --> 07:05:07.100
five signatures, all the names on the back.

07:05:07.100 --> 07:05:08.420
I do think the drafts are important,

07:05:08.420 --> 07:05:11.940
but I think there is just a special quality about Guma.

07:05:11.940 --> 07:05:14.620
I feel like anytime the pressure is high,

07:05:14.620 --> 07:05:19.100
he stays so steady and really elevates his game

07:05:19.100 --> 07:05:20.620
in the most crucial moments.

07:05:20.620 --> 07:05:22.180
And it was the same case at Worlds

07:05:22.180 --> 07:05:23.860
like that people were doubting him.

07:05:23.860 --> 07:05:28.540
He ended up in the finals and he stands tall again here today,

07:05:28.540 --> 07:05:31.100
being a clutch factor of his team's victory.

07:05:31.100 --> 07:05:33.500
And I think it says a lot because I think it is

07:05:33.500 --> 07:05:36.420
the two XT1 members that are the standouts for me.

07:05:36.420 --> 07:05:39.500
The members that oftentimes kind of live in the shadow of Faker,

07:05:39.500 --> 07:05:42.620
but they don't have Faker to be clutch anymore.

07:05:42.620 --> 07:05:45.500
And it's their own merit that they relied on today.

07:05:45.500 --> 07:05:48.460
KumaYushi, incredible across the board.

07:05:48.460 --> 07:05:50.540
But for me, it was Zeyas.

07:05:50.540 --> 07:05:54.380
The rivalry with Bin, the nail is in the coffin,

07:05:54.380 --> 07:05:57.740
the coffin's in the ground, the dirt is on top of it.

07:05:57.740 --> 07:06:01.340
This man demolished Bin across the board

07:06:01.340 --> 07:06:06.340
with drafts, with the way he was playing, with the ability to control that lane.

07:06:06.340 --> 07:06:11.340
Ben had some good moments, but Zayas dictated the majority of this series.

07:06:11.340 --> 07:06:16.340
And you need a top laner who can do it all, which includes backing off, taking a step back,

07:06:16.340 --> 07:06:19.340
recognizing the games where you are not the center of attention.

07:06:19.340 --> 07:06:21.340
Game 4, game 5, it was the Zayas show.

07:06:21.340 --> 07:06:23.340
But when it wasn't, he was not a liability.

07:06:23.340 --> 07:06:27.340
He was a source of stability for the team, and that makes all the difference

07:06:27.340 --> 07:06:28.340
if you're going to go the full five.

07:06:28.340 --> 07:06:32.840
We've talked about all the players, but I still want to give an unhorrible mention to Kenavi.

07:06:32.840 --> 07:06:38.340
He had a rough series, but he managed to stay steady for his team, and in moments like this,

07:06:38.340 --> 07:06:44.340
it's the mental aspect also that matters. The fact that even if personally you're not performing that well,

07:06:44.340 --> 07:06:49.340
you're still going to be that strength for your team and someone that can rally around them

07:06:49.340 --> 07:06:53.840
and that can sublime them, and I feel like regardless of the ups and moments that he had,

07:06:53.840 --> 07:06:55.340
that's what he managed to do today.

07:06:55.340 --> 07:06:59.100
I do think that for Kanavi he has struggled in the past as well in some of these moments

07:06:59.100 --> 07:07:02.860
Like you've seen it at the international events against T1 when he was on JDG

07:07:02.860 --> 07:07:08.380
But I do think the it's more the case of he has the teammates to support him in this endeavor now

07:07:08.380 --> 07:07:12.220
It's not just him by himself where he hadn't got that support

07:07:12.220 --> 07:07:14.220
It feels like in previous teams now

07:07:14.220 --> 07:07:18.380
He's able to have the whoopsie and still have the teammates ready around him the guys to support the guys

07:07:18.380 --> 07:07:22.260
Who take over a game and I think that is such a big difference maker for him

07:07:22.260 --> 07:07:28.520
And also then must be a mental load off his mind as well because it means that there isn't that pressure to always have to perform

07:07:28.520 --> 07:07:31.460
I think when you think about these big international losses

07:07:31.460 --> 07:07:36.220
You have to remember that this is hugely traumatic when you go into a next series when you fumble a game like that

07:07:36.220 --> 07:07:42.460
It is so hard to bounce back one of the big things that I think makes it so much easier for gnaabi is the T1 players beside it

07:07:42.460 --> 07:07:46.180
When you look at a player next to you to go you've gone the distance you have been clutching these moments

07:07:46.180 --> 07:07:51.620
I believe that whatever happens with me as long as I don't mess it up that you will carry me across the finish line

07:07:51.620 --> 07:07:58.620
Having that comfort, that confidence, makes it so much easier in moments where so many players in the past have just completely collapsed.

07:07:58.620 --> 07:07:59.620
Kenavi included.

07:07:59.620 --> 07:08:06.620
I want to take some time to reflect on MSI as a whole because we started the tournament with very one sided games.

07:08:06.620 --> 07:08:07.620
That we did.

07:08:07.620 --> 07:08:08.620
That's the best. And then...

07:08:08.620 --> 07:08:09.620
There are a few 3Os.

07:08:09.620 --> 07:08:15.620
Huge ramp up throughout the tournament. We got the upset, we got the heartbreaks, we got the silver scrits until the end of time.

07:08:15.620 --> 07:08:23.500
And in here today with a banger final another LPL versus LCK matchup leading us to five games crowning a new champion

07:08:24.060 --> 07:08:27.100
What are we gonna know from this MSI guys? Don't forget

07:08:27.660 --> 07:08:30.180
When probably flaming been on social media

07:08:31.180 --> 07:08:33.980
NA did 6-0 EU and absolutely embarrassing

07:08:33.980 --> 07:08:37.860
Yeah, I would love to forget it, but I don't want all that play to go to pin

07:08:37.860 --> 07:08:42.700
So we'll be the lightning rod. Don't forget where we're bad now. It turns out. Let's go region by region weirdly half

07:08:42.700 --> 07:08:47.220
I feel like from free tournament expectations, how disappointed do you walk away from this event?

07:08:49.060 --> 07:08:54.260
Obviously, LCK is the happiest because they were able to lift the trophy T1 fell NA

07:08:54.260 --> 07:08:57.100
I feel like comes away really good

07:08:57.220 --> 07:09:03.700
They pushed HLE to a 2-1 deficit much like BLG and were as close to beating them as anybody else

07:09:03.700 --> 07:09:07.580
I'd also say G2. Yes, they lost to NA

07:09:07.580 --> 07:09:12.580
But they had two series wins against LPL and LCK teams.

07:09:12.580 --> 07:09:16.580
I think the further away we get from the Lion loss, the better that will feel.

07:09:16.580 --> 07:09:17.580
And, ultimately...

07:09:17.580 --> 07:09:18.580
I'm not even mad, Chad.

07:09:18.580 --> 07:09:19.580
You're not even mad?

07:09:19.580 --> 07:09:21.580
I'm not even mad losing to Lyon, honestly.

07:09:21.580 --> 07:09:25.580
The show they put up against the team that ended up winning the whole thing.

07:09:25.580 --> 07:09:30.580
I'm proud for Lyon, and honestly, I'm so excited for your region for the rest of the year.

07:09:30.580 --> 07:09:31.580
I would just like to say I'm back for you, fans.

07:09:31.580 --> 07:09:32.580
I'm still mad.

07:09:32.580 --> 07:09:34.580
Just, just, just, just, I'm still mad.

07:09:34.580 --> 07:09:35.580
I'm still mad.

07:09:35.580 --> 07:09:39.580
We didn't deserve to win. I'm still upset that we lost.

07:09:39.580 --> 07:09:43.580
We were the worst team. Absolutely deserved for Lyon. They're a fantastic team.

07:09:43.580 --> 07:09:46.580
I'm still sad about it. Just to mix it up.

07:09:46.580 --> 07:09:51.580
We're not all in the go-go-ryan-ay. I'm still hoping we can win.

07:09:51.580 --> 07:09:54.580
Inspired is the goats. Ducla showed up again.

07:09:54.580 --> 07:09:59.580
With Worlds at the end of the year being held in North America, I'm very excited for Lyon.

07:09:59.580 --> 07:10:03.580
Oh my god, the pressure's on! The expectations were so low. They were so low.

07:10:03.580 --> 07:10:05.580
solo now they're like

07:10:06.220 --> 07:10:09.220
But we don't have a fourth seed that is the true tragedy

07:10:10.540 --> 07:10:16.020
Yeah, but then we can see see my fifth just to miss another in this it's in the minds eye

07:10:16.780 --> 07:10:22.680
Thinking if lion had just done something a little bit different with the 4000 goldly before the red buffing game in the game for

07:10:22.980 --> 07:10:25.220
Do they come on the stage against PLG?

07:10:26.020 --> 07:10:32.580
Would they be able to lift the MSI trophy? We'd have the fourth all it it was it ah, but we still have zero wins against the LAC

07:10:32.580 --> 07:10:39.020
But this is the tournament that has blown all narratives out of the water like yeah

07:10:39.020 --> 07:10:40.940
G2 has beaten T1

07:10:40.940 --> 07:10:47.980
Lion has pushed the winner of MSI to five games and could have beaten them in that game for the LPL has gone

07:10:47.980 --> 07:10:52.340
The distance and is just as competitive against everyone else if I'm looking at worlds

07:10:52.340 --> 07:10:55.620
There is no longer. Oh, this is just dead set a win

07:10:55.620 --> 07:11:01.100
You have to fight every single time and I'm so excited for that international, but we're not looking at worlds

07:11:01.100 --> 07:11:06.100
We're looking at that man. We're looking at that man. We're looking at Hanwha Life Esports for a second.

07:11:06.100 --> 07:11:14.100
The victorious Hanwha Life Esports and Kuma Yushi about to join us here at the desk. Hello!

07:11:15.100 --> 07:11:17.100
Oh my god, Kuma.

07:11:20.100 --> 07:11:23.100
Fans are going wild behind me. So many fans supporting you.

07:11:24.100 --> 07:11:25.100
You can put on the headset.

07:11:25.100 --> 07:11:35.100
Congratulations, Booma. Congratulations. Thank you so much for joining us. Thank you for joining us as well here, JISUN.

07:11:35.100 --> 07:11:43.100
You're looking at those images right now. You're looking at this trophy lift. What is the first thing that crossed your mind when you finished that Game 5?

07:11:43.100 --> 07:11:52.100
When you came to that trophy knowing that you were finally going to taste that sweet, sweet taste of victory and having an MSI title under your belt?

07:11:52.100 --> 07:12:03.100
What was your first impression of the MSI Trophy after the last match?

07:12:03.100 --> 07:12:10.100
I've been to MSI a lot, but it was my first time winning.

07:12:10.100 --> 07:12:19.100
I didn't feel it at first, but I saw my team's happy moments and the MSI Trophy.

07:12:19.100 --> 07:12:28.100
I've been to so many MSIs, and finally I was able to win the title, at first it felt so real.

07:12:28.100 --> 07:12:33.100
I thought this was not real, and then looking at my teammates' happiness and then looking at trophy,

07:12:33.100 --> 07:12:36.100
realizing that it's mine, I almost cried.

07:12:36.100 --> 07:12:44.100
More than an MSI, I want to know how much does it mean to you knowing that you managed to do this with a different team?

07:12:44.100 --> 07:12:50.100
Taking a risk at the beginning of the year, going a different way, going a different direction, knowing that it's finally paid off,

07:12:50.100 --> 07:12:58.100
that you're reunited with Zeres, managed to do it alongside him one time again, but also knowing that you had it in you outside of T1.

07:12:58.100 --> 07:13:04.100
You've won the MSI title for the first time in a long time, right?

07:13:04.100 --> 07:13:08.100
You've found a new team, and you've finally won the MSI with that team.

07:13:08.100 --> 07:13:12.100
As Jaewoo said, you've won the MSI with Jaewoo.

07:13:12.100 --> 07:13:20.100
How did you feel when you felt that you were not alone in the T1, but you were alone?

07:13:20.100 --> 07:13:38.100
I've had a lot of emotions, but I think the first time I felt like I was going to win this award, I think it's time to start again.

07:13:38.100 --> 07:13:43.100
I think I'll be able to win a lot of awards with good players.

07:13:50.100 --> 07:13:58.100
But I think the mindset that I had when I decided to find a different team, I was hunting for more accomplishments.

07:13:58.100 --> 07:14:04.100
I was trying to get more achievements. So I think I can say this is also just the beginning for me.

07:14:04.100 --> 07:14:08.100
And I will keep on making more achievements with my teammates.

07:14:08.100 --> 07:14:14.100
That's amazing. I have to say, in high pressure moments, you seem so calm.

07:14:14.100 --> 07:14:22.100
Calm, not talking about the gameplay, what do you think you bring to a team that helps you win so much?

07:14:44.100 --> 07:14:49.100
I think it's helping the team to focus on the core.

07:14:49.100 --> 07:14:53.100
I think it's helping in that aspect.

07:15:14.100 --> 07:15:22.900
because Maid Bot lane seemed to be prioritized, and I saw Zeus was playing a lot of raid boss champions,

07:15:22.900 --> 07:15:30.340
like Mundo or Swain that become unkillable. Was that something that you guys saw before the series and planned to bring out?

07:16:14.100 --> 07:16:20.700
and also we figured out that if the enemy AD carry doesn't really have a high DPS champion,

07:16:20.700 --> 07:16:22.700
Swain, Mundo will be a huge problem.

07:16:22.700 --> 07:16:23.700
Thank you.

07:16:23.700 --> 07:16:28.200
You hate mage bot lanes, but in the end it doesn't matter.

07:16:28.200 --> 07:16:35.200
What I think is really funny is the fact that it's the second time that you defeat BLG in a finals, in five games,

07:16:35.200 --> 07:16:37.700
after receiving a stack on stage.

07:16:37.700 --> 07:16:39.700
Footbuff, OP.

07:16:39.700 --> 07:16:48.700
We have found a lot of comments, but it's already the second time we've caught B.L.G. at the final of the international competition.

07:16:48.700 --> 07:16:51.700
But we ate snacks before that.

07:16:51.700 --> 07:16:53.700
Is it a snack buff?

07:16:53.700 --> 07:17:01.700
I think there is a snack buff, so I hope you prepare it for the next important moment.

07:17:09.700 --> 07:17:13.700
Last question for you Grimizer, anything that you would like to share for your Western fans?

07:17:13.700 --> 07:17:18.700
Maybe MSI, Penbun Dolke, one word for you, please.

07:17:18.700 --> 07:17:29.700
My first win, champion in HLV.

07:17:29.700 --> 07:17:33.700
I keep going, champion.

07:17:33.700 --> 07:17:35.700
So many, so many champions.

07:17:35.700 --> 07:17:37.700
So many titles, Grimizer.

07:17:37.700 --> 07:17:40.700
Thank you so, so much for joining us today.

07:17:40.700 --> 07:17:45.700
Thank you so much for the help and the translation.

07:17:45.700 --> 07:17:48.700
Round of applause for Gunma Yershi, of course, here.

07:17:48.700 --> 07:17:53.700
And yeah, as we see the celebration, one more time.

07:17:53.700 --> 07:17:56.700
He deserves it time and time again.

07:17:56.700 --> 07:17:58.700
People keep on doubting him, Jat.

07:17:58.700 --> 07:18:00.700
But he keep on proving them wrong.

07:18:00.700 --> 07:18:03.700
And you could hear the pride of here.

07:18:03.700 --> 07:18:06.700
Him winning in another team, in another environment.

07:18:06.700 --> 07:18:09.620
When he says that it's not the last round, I can only believe him.

07:18:09.620 --> 07:18:11.900
Absolutely. They just proved it, right?

07:18:11.900 --> 07:18:13.500
Like, they took a massive risk.

07:18:13.500 --> 07:18:18.340
Zeyu's last year, one first-end, fell apart a little bit towards the end of the year.

07:18:18.340 --> 07:18:22.020
And then here, at this MSI, it wasn't easy.

07:18:22.020 --> 07:18:24.420
They were really pushed multiple times.

07:18:24.420 --> 07:18:28.020
But as he said, like, he's been to so many finals.

07:18:28.020 --> 07:18:29.460
He can be calm.

07:18:29.460 --> 07:18:32.260
He can be the pillar for the team in those big moments.

07:18:32.260 --> 07:18:33.460
And he proved it again.

07:18:33.460 --> 07:18:34.660
He's also really good at embarrassing me,

07:18:34.660 --> 07:18:37.660
I definitely just waved at him like this, but he was waving at the fans behind me.

07:18:37.660 --> 07:18:41.660
So I picked Mog, I think I got Mog, is that what that is?

07:18:41.660 --> 07:18:44.660
Not even embarrassed, embarrassed is the word that I would use.

07:18:44.660 --> 07:18:48.660
But yeah, I mean, class act, Gumi Ushin, he's like, it always is felt.

07:18:48.660 --> 07:18:51.660
The period where he felt like a young player, like a rookie,

07:18:51.660 --> 07:18:54.660
felt so short because of how confident he presented himself,

07:18:54.660 --> 07:18:57.660
and how quick he was to just lay down a lot of these all-star performances.

07:18:57.660 --> 07:19:00.660
And you can really see him coming to his own, taking a more veteran,

07:19:00.660 --> 07:19:02.660
more senior position in this lineup now.

07:19:02.660 --> 07:19:04.280
But it always kind of felt like he had that in him.

07:19:04.280 --> 07:19:06.820
Like, even when it was, hey, look, I can take a step back

07:19:06.820 --> 07:19:09.500
and let the rest of my team carry, give resources elsewhere,

07:19:09.500 --> 07:19:12.020
or it can be the one that's going to be able to gobble that up

07:19:12.020 --> 07:19:13.620
and perform when it matters.

07:19:13.620 --> 07:19:15.780
And I think that's what we got to see at the end of this series

07:19:15.780 --> 07:19:17.820
as well, which is what he can do when he's

07:19:17.820 --> 07:19:19.700
able to have the gold and the lead.

07:19:19.700 --> 07:19:23.100
So I do think he is an exceptional player.

07:19:23.100 --> 07:19:24.460
And I'm very excited to see.

07:19:24.460 --> 07:19:26.220
Like, it's mad to think that this only

07:19:26.220 --> 07:19:28.060
feels like almost like a midway point.

07:19:28.060 --> 07:19:31.020
If even of his career, there's so many more years ahead of him.

07:19:31.020 --> 07:19:36.600
Also, again, the Grand Slam is so cool and it's so hard for any other team to replicate because first-hand happens so early in the year.

07:19:36.600 --> 07:19:36.900
Yeah.

07:19:36.900 --> 07:19:42.440
If you don't keep the same roster, you only set one C4, it's really tough to actually, like, get in.

07:19:42.440 --> 07:19:47.860
And the tournament formats are scrappy, so while there are a lot of teams who've, you know, got maybe got an MSI,

07:19:47.860 --> 07:19:51.140
maybe come close to a World's, there's a lot of Korean teams, so you think maybe they could replicate this,

07:19:51.140 --> 07:19:55.500
it's gonna take a long time before anyone else actually matches that title specifically.

07:19:55.500 --> 07:19:58.780
It's just gonna be two people holding on to it for, I think, a pretty damn long time.

07:19:58.780 --> 07:20:00.980
Just because I like Golden Roads.

07:20:00.980 --> 07:20:02.820
I want to make up a new term.

07:20:02.820 --> 07:20:04.140
Will you let me?

07:20:04.140 --> 07:20:06.940
Can we get the time first?

07:20:06.940 --> 07:20:09.460
I want to call it a traditional golden road.

07:20:09.460 --> 07:20:12.220
Wind, spring, MSI, summer, and worlds.

07:20:12.220 --> 07:20:14.140
And I'll give you a traditional golden road,

07:20:14.140 --> 07:20:15.580
which they would still be eligible for.

07:20:15.580 --> 07:20:17.300
They were the number one seed, they won MSI,

07:20:17.300 --> 07:20:18.460
and they'd be going back.

07:20:18.460 --> 07:20:19.300
Let's see.

07:20:19.300 --> 07:20:20.140
We'll see.

07:20:20.140 --> 07:20:20.980
I don't want to catch on.

07:20:20.980 --> 07:20:22.940
The yellow road, the open road is not quite as

07:20:22.940 --> 07:20:24.540
impressive as the golden road.

07:20:24.540 --> 07:20:26.820
I like golden road, like a diamond road or something,

07:20:26.820 --> 07:20:30.820
just because we were ready to hand out the golden road.

07:20:30.820 --> 07:20:32.820
And then they extended the road.

07:20:32.820 --> 07:20:33.820
Yeah, exactly.

07:20:33.820 --> 07:20:37.220
We're talking about a Los Angeles level commute here at this point.

07:20:37.220 --> 07:20:39.820
It's tough to get to the end of the road.

07:20:39.820 --> 07:20:42.420
Well, Golden Road, not this year again.

07:20:42.420 --> 07:20:44.320
Better Grand Slam, that's for sure.

07:20:44.320 --> 07:20:48.220
We're halfway through the season here and a lot of amazing things to look forward to.

07:20:48.220 --> 07:20:52.820
Here, of course, we'll be back with the LCS and the LEC on July 20th.

07:20:52.820 --> 07:20:56.920
Until then, on behalf of the entire English Broadcasting,

07:20:56.920 --> 07:20:58.920
thank you all so much for watching.

07:20:58.920 --> 07:21:00.120
Thank you all.

07:21:00.120 --> 07:21:00.620
Thank you.

07:21:00.620 --> 07:21:03.620
You're here with me today, and be kind to each other, of course.

07:21:03.620 --> 07:21:05.620
Have a good night, and we'll see you next time.

07:21:05.620 --> 07:21:06.620
OK, bye-bye.

07:21:12.120 --> 07:21:15.120
We have gone the distance here in Dejon,

07:21:15.120 --> 07:21:18.120
and let's see who has the energy left in the tank

07:21:18.120 --> 07:21:21.620
to lift this trophy here as well as Knight.

07:21:21.620 --> 07:21:22.620
Does get himself out of the way.

07:21:22.620 --> 07:21:24.620
Briefcase of the land onto Viper.

07:21:24.620 --> 07:21:26.120
And the Pop Blossom does fall down.

07:21:26.120 --> 07:21:27.120
Season of Six is falling.

07:21:27.120 --> 07:21:28.620
They get on top of them as fortune.

07:21:28.620 --> 07:21:31.420
But at World Cup, Camille is trying to dash away from Ben.

07:21:31.420 --> 07:21:34.500
He's put down, do a she-h, she's put back up again.

07:21:34.500 --> 07:21:37.660
But Gumo flashes out, now Ben looks to get on top of him,

07:21:37.660 --> 07:21:39.260
and he dashes out of the way.

07:21:39.260 --> 07:21:42.260
And this is what a teamfight looks like when Camille

07:21:42.260 --> 07:21:44.500
stays alive.

07:21:44.500 --> 07:21:47.900
HLE will look for even more as Canavi

07:21:47.900 --> 07:21:51.020
celebrates early alts underneath this inner turret.

07:21:51.020 --> 07:21:52.900
And I think they may have done it.

07:21:52.900 --> 07:21:55.460
How will Ibe Sports manage his end of the Golden Roads?

07:21:55.460 --> 07:21:56.940
How will Ibe Sports?

07:21:56.940 --> 07:22:00.940
They've already done first and they'll do MSI as well!

07:22:56.940 --> 07:22:59.940
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

07:22:59.940 --> 07:23:01.940
Okay, you're the folk of the town.

07:23:03.940 --> 07:23:06.940
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

07:23:14.940 --> 07:23:16.940
Let me bite your tongue.

07:23:16.940 --> 07:23:19.940
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

07:23:22.940 --> 07:23:25.940
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

07:23:56.940 --> 07:23:58.940
You
