FNC vs. AST - Week 6 Day 1 | LEC Summer Split | Fnatic vs. Astralis (2021)

[Music] welcome back to the caster desk for australia's first fanatic i'm dracos joining me is kadril and our very special guest for the day none other than the boss himself yeah normally we tricast with ender he was where champ now we've got pogo yeah that's me guys guys the boss is going to be bringing his special brand of analysis and humor to the desk for this one uh of course it is a game that is very much favored towards fnatic we'll see what astralis can do after a miraculous comeback in their game versus misfits all eyes on these lineups to see what they will bring to the table this week we saw spicy picks in earlier games today i hope we get some more yeah i think the biggest question for me is australis in the early stage of the game right they need to start bringing it in they need to start being able to match these teams in the early to mid game if they want to start contesting to playoffs because i think these miraculous comebacks won't last forever and it's not something you can really rely on uh the longer the split goes especially when teams get better at closing out and they make less mistakes we are now just going to get to the start of things and see what fnatic wants to bring to the table now after the mundo jungle performance we got in the previous game i would not mind seeing more mundo jungle boss how has the solo q experience been against that champion i actually never played against him jungle but i have played against a bunch of times top lane and dasham probably the strongest tank in the game right now in my opinion has a lot of good kids kind of stick on any carry if you can land the slows and uh has the healing of course as well so quite beefy indeed doesn't have as much engage we'll have to keep our eyes onto it because wipo is no not a shy person when it comes to innovation when it comes to new champions new stuff patch changes yeah he's always the first one to pick it up so maybe we'll see a first big mundo and it probably will go towards the jungle i'd say what is this trundle band is that targeted towards san soro what are we thinking that is targeted towards zanzar he's a very notorious trundle player in the lec i think sansa are kind of a player that struggles a little bit i think in the current meta but he's found his way he's more of like a scanner tank trundle player and in a carry jungle meta doesn't fit in but he's found his style yeah he draws look if you're drawing bands you must be doing something right and at the end of the day even if i'm not the biggest fan of trundle jungle he's always the guy that makes it work that said it is a viego locked in traded for a zinzow and a tristana fnatic taking their time debating what the option should be here for their second pick yes it's a very powerful jungler and obviously this viego can kind of flex the three roles i'd say more towards top jungle so they still have the option to just keep that flex alive until four or five and pick full bot lane here if they want to alternatively can go for something like a soleil there's an alistar lock in immediately for hillasang blind pikala starring with santa maybe we'll see a braum on three here to match it if they go for the kaiser alastar a little bit dangerous especially since you can get counterpick in the support but does give you that solidified engage and it's a hilly sign classic and certainly if anyone is going to understand a good death boss it is going to be hila sang man is the mid max king more often better than worse this split something we do have to give him credit for he has been having a phenomenal split so far silas now that makes a lot of sense right you can take away the alistar ultra silas with analysis is very very scary running into your team with a huge damage reduction while also one shot in your backline so can remove cc a big pick up there for magi felix who actually back thought misfits with it so no stranger to that champion at all and now he'll have mid bands to invest already now that israel has taken off the board now what are we thinking here for middling for nisky it's a hard option i mean you're up against the silas there's a lot of potential things to come in nisky himself has been playing pretty well recently so normally i would be like hey something a little bit more defensive but i feel like this man if anyone's gonna pop off in this game i feel like nisky has been mr reliable for the side of fnatic yeah definitely i think things like 80 minutes do really well in silence you know something like a lucian could do perfectly fine maybe astralis want to ban that away and then for fnatic i think taking away brown makes a lot of sense um i think the bot match up kaisen dallas alastair would you stand up from it's pretty a bit struggling i'd say but no they're just gonna opt out of it they're gonna take away the renekton when they have seen so yeah the rennington band is just interesting i wonder if they're just trying to shut down some kind of combo from the side of fnatic but now astralis do you pick your support here and save count to pick for top i think that's probably what you're gonna go for and it's going to be a taric for promiscuous so not going to go for the brown for lane going to go for more of a team fight orientate the champion in terms of just when the amazing team engages you just press r and hilusang was the same man to do that i believe he's the only target player we have in the league tarik so rising in popularity overall a champion that in general would keep our eyes on three games before this game so has been picked up a few times not very successful hill saying the only successful tarik so far and we'll see if that changes today with promise q getting his hands on the champion but we wanted to know what nisky was going to bring to the table and cassio is the answer that's one i have not seen in a long time my personal take cassio the hardest champion in league of legends to to play to learn and master you need mechanics of a god to play the champion there's there's a lot of min maxing on cassio you know you have to hit q's to get the e damage you miss the q you have no kids and you also have to dodge away from spells because you're very immobile the ultimate's like a mind game of dodging away on the enemy team side so making sure you time that perfectly is great or it's very important at least but we are going to see the viego jungle set's going to go top lane here and that's going to be our last pick mundo four wide nine in the top side matching it into the set so we've got a bit of a sort of wet noodle fight there in the top side said obviously should have the push but both these teams a lot of team fights a lot of engage on the side of fanatic and dps follow-up and then a lot of counter-engage and things like the silas taking the alaska rule to zinza jumping in on the side of astralis and frankly that's exactly what you want to see from fnatic when they've been winning they've been so incredibly scrappy in the early game that said boss i'd love to get your take on the top lane matchup we're it's the boss literally in this case versus dr muno how do you feel about this matchup in general who do you think should have the edge right right i saw i saw the wonder game when wunder played the mundo and i don't remember who played the set but basically wunder wunder embarrassed his opponent and started laughing in the middle of the game just because he gapped so hard so i don't know if that's like a winning matchup or but i do believe white knight has the upper edge but then adam has been proven again and again that he can do stuff so yeah items like that reliable engagement we'll have to keep our eyes on the top match up i think that set very difficult into a full tank obviously because you don't have that percent hp damage unless you opt in for an itemization to do so and then you lose the kind of tankiness that you need for the fight so your kaiser can follow up but a lot of scrappiness on these champions we've got a lot of mini champions it's a it's a meta classic and it's time for fnatic versus astralis game four of the day let's get it [Music] started [Music] and on to the rift we go zoom zoom is the corporate mundo and all four of his friends 30 seconds got a little bit of a level one here just trying to control the bot lane brush obviously that second brush gives the meal if you have a mini spot match up or a range into media sport that second brush can be really important when it comes to the lane phase itself but astralis i'm not going to stop there jessica jumping in there's no ward but they don't know that so they're just going to assume that it's water because no one's standing there would make sense it's not very very good idea to go for that risk when the enemy team has things like you know an alistar you could face check and we heard earlier today boss you were talking about it when you're the team that's not necessarily favorited in the games a lot of times these more creative level ones can do a lot to get early advantages to throw the opposing team off yeah yeah i mean i think something more interesting is mr yesgla and promise q have matching color on their skin both went for green chroma that's pretty cute okay yeah i like that i think zanzer and maggie felix have purple matching as well when that kind of synergy is important and i don't want to say you know that we have a conclusive answer as to why jessica's dpm is so high now but matching skin schedule could be a part of the equation that allows this man to top the charts when he and his support are so perfectly in sync could be it could be you know it could give a little bit of a hidden damage buff you never know but i think jessica has been one of the standout performances in astralis not so much in lane phase or anything like this but just in pure team fights the damage is obviously inflated by playing poke champions like ezreal but if you look at the context of their games itself jessica's the one dishing out the most damage in the fights his positioning has been pretty good athelios you know things like sana and as well specifically great team fighting and i think that's what you need just reliable team fighting especially when your team's losing the game the fact that you can win these fights it's just impressive in itself and regardless of the raw damage numbers the damage share showing us that he is often the biggest carry threat on this team at least when it comes to team fighting it makes sense has the opportunity potentially to do so in this matchup on the tristana that said checking in on the top side adam seems to be pretty comfortable in this lane matchup given that uh he started coal cool the start yeah so what do you think of that cool stuff just to help him with the scaling because maybe he knows he's going to win the lane phase anyway yeah apparently like that is very brave it's going to have an earlier i guess gold spike in the mid game which might come in handy yeah definitely we'll have to keep our eyes on that but for now it looks like the mundo concrete trade with the set as expected i mean set in the early stages and immediate match up is pretty much you know untradeable into unless you're something like a few or level three maybe you can w some kind of spell and then the pronoun but for now set has to push and that should help out fnatic with in terms of information and i'm gonna go for actually a cheater equal here on the third way but i think white knight with the watch should be able to stop him and both junglers interesting patting wall towards the bot side so this boss crab is going to be the next point of contest we're both going to be there first and he has smite zanza is not too far behind there but it looks like from the mini map the fnatic have the push in mid and bolt so they should be able to be first to answer priority in lanes a little bit of trade there it's not going to be fired back full stacks knocked people from rock by hillside would have loved to land that empowered auto but finag now backing away priority in the bot lane does mean as called out there uh that whipple's gonna be able to grab that scrap on uh scratch grab that's the scrap the crab that's the one i was looking at the double scrub here looks like it it's gonna be a double scrap holding it big flash good reaction speed there promised q trying to land up the timing perfectly but hillary was ready with the flash with the pull back good damage good follow-up and there he goes huge play from fnatic knowledge in mechanics but it's the punish as well hilasang predicts promiscuous flash flashes away from the stun and then adam's already taping in the second the flash is committed really good execution there i don't think adam will lose too much in the top lane but there's gonna be a two two in mid i don't feel like it's done it's not gonna come over the wall and this game is gonna try and turn this one easy quick kill pick up fnatic already off to an incredible start the leap in from wipo he's got the second e cast if he wants it the minions tries to get tricky with the smite to land it but zanzaro with the clean side observers if we could look towards top wave now i think it's just crashing white knight should be able to catch it but he's actually going to tp behind them so there could be another fight it's going to be a 3v3 ripple has no flash it's double tp gets taken out oh the viega is going to be powerful in this one if he can keep getting resets he's going to start to take off but wiffo's going to get burned down right back on the way in whipple will not die my god it's an absolute slaughter no flash on promiscu i think it's going to be a quadra kill he should have to e up soon the q misses can he get him nisky picks him up with the q six kills in five minutes four fnatic astralis 3000 gold behind wow wow all right boss you got to break this one down yeah this is a disaster what happened here it's just a slap in the face really from promiscu here he died twice within one minute and then of course unfortunately for for maddie felix he barely got to kill him and once we get the first kill he he keeps getting resets and that that's a game changer yeah and i think if you just watch that there again i think zanzar is just commuting way too early um he's flashing in when his team is just finishing the tps they're a little bit away i think waiting two or three seconds there could have changed the entire fight because him going in early means he dies means whippo gets the actual zinzow and then he manages to just survive through the damage and gets a second reset onto the silas so miss play there from zanza i have to say but really good capitalization there from fnatic to punish them oh that's so cute yeah the only person that buppo is not beating right now is is that dog okay he is an absolute monster on the rift magic felix is living a nightmare uh i'm going to be honest um i'm not as good at solo queue as the two of you are but this is where i would normally say it to myself and not type it in all chat because i'm a good person it's doomed it's doomed that's a classic but now mighty felix has no flash adam does if he wants the gap close that he can nisky has the flash to follow up zanzar is behind it but whippo's also there magi feels just going to dash away and adam he's losing a lot of creeps for this i think he lost a lot of creeps for the tp down towards bot but he's just roaming around to try and get his team ahead now and right now fnatic absolutely taking off remember fnatic right now tied in first neck and neck now we're tied in first to the start today i should say rogue are now technically ahead of them but if they win here they will tie it up again and you can see why fnatic's incredibly dominant early game slightly different than the kind of early game that rogue brings the table but certainly just as explosive this is the first time i've seen a 700 gold shut down in seven minutes true four zero one on the viego level six he's just so far ahead compared to zanza and now you have to just kind of wonder for australis what's the play i mean the enemy jungle so far ahead he can match every single lane mid lanes just pushing non-stop magic felix has no flash to respond bot lane keeps pushing and moving towards mid everything's kind of falling apart for them at this point and there's really not much they can do other than go towards the top lane match felix hovering around can try to take an ultimate away it's gonna be difficult but as mentioned going towards the top side of the map white knight slowly but surely running adam down by a bit more time with the shield if he wants to but adam waiting on all those cooldowns good side step on the wind becomes lightning means he can walk away from that one i'm not actually zoning away magic felix from his tier one he's just pulls back to tier two already so good play from astralis to get the flash out why adam's gonna have the base sorry and maybe using white knight's pressure top to translate into mid can help out the map but still fnatic so far ahead in early stages and i think that if you look at astralis their early games are poor i have to say and you can see that they're struggling in these early games but look i mean this is a small exception away because it's seven minutes in and you're already like three or four thousand gold down but just in essence the fact they managed to win a game against misfits when they get aced in bot lane at minute five or minute six and now in this game again here they're getting aced in mid lane minute five minute six there's a possibility they could still turn it around but it's really hard and there's one thing that i will say magic felix notorious solo queue god played every role has climbed his way up he was known for never giving up i have heard many pro players tell me stories of games they wish magic felix had surrendered but that man never gives up the fact that he managed to get a backdoor last week is such an iconic moment for him as adam not going to step a little bit before bubble leaping in the damage gonna be blocked there initially by the zinzal ultimate zanzar running for the hills white knight might be in trouble can block the first form of cc though so it doesn't have to be too stared now whipple gonna find that one can get the reset once he gets out of tower range meanwhile on the bottom side of the map oh it's a two-for-one special helisag now going in promised you the sidestep no one's gonna get stunned he just can't land anything kaiser grabs a kill fnatic absolutely massacring astralis across the map yeah pueblo does end up falling in that so it's a trade-off at least for astralis but almost 4 000 gold now pushing bot pushing top the only person who's relieved from this players magic felix can finally push out mid i mean i'm gonna be real like the only one with the kill on astralis is mundo right so that that that's their strong point but then you look at the enemy team we have the vines in there viego basically a tank killer cassiopeia always been the tank killer and then set and kaiser also has like percent health damage in their kit how's the tank gonna carry this yeah you're completely right i mean having the resource on the front line is not good when the enemy team has an anti-frontline comp maybe it's not something they specifically opted into in the draft but it just works for lanes but flashing mid niski flash out the stolen ultimate not going to work this game to try to turn but he's going to get the double stun but it's not going to work on the moon though he still might be able to get one back under magic felix it's a one for one but oh he's ready to kill some tanks i think you can see it it's the blade of the rune king but business mundo is not about his business just melts through white knight and astralis props to them you have to use your winning lane to translate it into mid white knight tried to do so but in the end they lost fight involved clean head but back to pillow saying finds a bit more space for upset to work with he's walking forward now the invulnerability about fate that's the stun no room for jessica to maneuver and again fnatic just absolutely massacring astral as promised be forced to back away as buppo take in the form of jessica normally drake also we have games where it's a killer minute but at this point tonic have themselves more than a killer minute up until this game the record for kills at 15 minutes was five it was held by blippo the new record is six also held by blippo might get some more here though but it's past ten all right going forward it was for being 15 by the way so it's got a lot of time it's 12 to two it's a massive gold lead this is a massacre yeah uh i think magic phoenix mental definitely needs to come in here they need to stay strong and weather the storm of fnatic but it's almost a 6 000 gold deficit in 10 minutes zero four zero for promiscu is that a slap in the face it's it's it's it's it's rough it's really rough it is most certainly wrong it's definitely um it all came from that level three all in and bought yes goes for the play gets tipped on behind and then everything just kind of fell apart well yeah and i think gentlemen the difficulty of casting a game like this is on the one hand we have a funeral sadly right now that funerals are astralis on the other side we have a party and the man leading that party is boopo but one big piece of that party let's say the guy who brought the cake okay none other than nisky this man has been having an incredible split he was i think he had an okay spring he had some standout moments but it wasn't the you know maybe was the best split but this season he has been absolutely taking off on one of the most mechanically demanding champions or at least in this game yeah and i think if you think of nisky in seasons past he's more of a supportive player right he plays things like galio tf you know side laners if he needs to we never really thought of him as a carry but this split looks a whole lot different on things like the silas adam though he's in a 1v2 duplex back as the haymaker could do good damage on his hands are tries to sidestep on that one adam should take it down but adam's still rocking just barely healing up there triumph clutch for zanzara almost turned around and got the soda boto boss yeah but i mean they keep they keep going on adam right but it's so close every time yeah they end up getting it now yeah and then look at the other side of the map right mids pushed in bots pushed in you're losing resources across the map so investing resource into white knight makes sense because it's your only winning lane but look at jessica he's your carry he can't even enter his own blue side jungle and he can't even farm under his own bot tower so yes your tank's a little slightly ahead he's a level up he's 30 cess up he's got a kill he might get a few plates but the tank shredders are getting fed yep yeah dragon oh man again the phrase that keeps coming to mind is insult to injury here double dragon 5k gold lead 12 minutes into the game nisky very strong magic felix barely can step into lane here they're playing a herald here but i think snyder can be there in time to contest for straws like i guess they just got a fish for something gotta look for something it's whippo steps forward it might just take it as a leash here to try to grab the objective for himself if he grabs it fast enough he can grab a few tower plates and just further extend to this gold lead in the early game it's a complete slaughter really how do you come back from this well you're gonna have to get a miracle i think astralis had one before with the back door but i think there might be a 15 played game a 14 played game here there's only a minute left but midtower should fall they have harold for top if they want to use it in the sex contesting right saying one level behind zanzar right now rushing into the enemy jungle and as predicted carol just gonna crash mid lane break down that last play magic fios gonna grab what he can here in terms of farm but whoops hardy in the enemy jungle taking camps away massive individual lead for him even before you take into account the six kills okay promiscuous hiding in the alcove doing a little bit of alcove gaming but his team is nowhere to be what is he gonna do let's cancel the recall now maybe he's calling his team to come maggie phoenix has tp to join just only him in the white knights he's only him and white knight adam has flash and old he won't be spotted though maybe they can make a play here but the rest of the members are flying quite close coming out of the bush the second he attaches to white knight he'll reveal himself he's taking his time it's the long con yeah i think you have to go for basil you have to make some kind of clutch plate they're gonna find that him now stun gonna connect adam he's going to be in big trouble here could try to suplex promise q back now a big stun big follow-up damage promise you may be in trouble here the dunk back down can he finish him off auto forward oh oh is that a solo polo that is a solo photo isn't it yep follow up now coming in wipo for a bit more and promise q i guess fishing for something looking for absolutely anything to find at this stage of the game but there was just nothing there for him sang now with the ball pops said immediately under the back line pretty easy for him to pick these ones up but kathy and rain raining down hal nisky going in magic field quick use the altar all maybe he can turn to get one back with whippo right back out turns right back into magic felix and makes it out to safety run white knight roll oh he's gonna get chased down what's the play here not the cannon minions is he gonna die he's gonna try and execute i think he's trying to wait and buy a little bit more time we'll see here man white knight oh i think he was around a second off there that's a bomber he was around a second off and just going back in time a little bit adam getting that 1v2 and getting promiscu that's all good and dandy and getting that solo bottle but you only got 140 gold for it promise q is obviously not worth that much but still worth the first trials but then the dive comes in and yeah there's really not much to say there's almost a 10 000 gold lead here at 15 minutes every single tower has fallen it's unbelievable it's a rough one i mean yeah we're it's it's a lipstick on a pig kind of angle we gotta coat it you've never heard that no putting lipstick on a pig in this case vehicles what do you do in your free time what do you want me to do dang i don't come down there's no follow-up jungle fight indeed tv coming in that's right for two and a half seconds now he's just gonna get shredded okay well how's australis getting out of this one then zanzara and maggie felix on the run follow up zanzar wind becomes lightning and zanzara is going to try to execute becomes dead it would appear he's going to get the execute oh man all right i figured out this is the kind of game where we cheer for executes which is definitely an indicator of how rough it is and again we showed the graphic once remember astralis had been in big deficits before now admittedly it was 4k at 15 minutes not 10k but yeah if they're going for the best comeback team in the else or the lec i almost said the lcs why why did that come close thinking a lot of a lot of slips today yes that's later fighting involved flash forward for magic felix nisky now trying to go for the side step his mechanics are clean but potentially not cleaning up adam trying to find somebody that he can suplex in the midst of the team he's going to now knock him back at him with a big haymaker upset now on the way and magic feels white not running for the hills and oh those tank shredder champions having some clean performances here red buff coming in magic wants to leap over the wall but that's a double for upset well what can you say really frank's first to every play with numbers advantage with insane gold leads with tank shredding damage jessica doesn't even have a mythic item at this point and upset almost has like three at this when he bases yes claw top turret he gonna krugs twice a bunch of waves look look at this recall he's gonna have three items this is called you're calling it already yeah yes place the carry well we'll see after this replay because this key does get a little bit cocky we'll say over pushing and bought but he has tp has upset around in the end it's a 3v1 and they do get the shutdown onto him 700 gold going on to magic felix but then everyone else on australis dies and as you can see in the bottom left your screen the dragon actually died so three dragons for a fanatic right now huge huge gold lead upset using the ultimate smart hero gap goes on to magic phoenix because he had to stack onto white knight and then it just means that he can finish him off three dragons for fnatic and it's gonna be four minutes 40 seconds until the soul but baron's up in two and i think that baron is pretty much one shot certainly should be with this amount of percentage house shred it was mostly really good against the mundo but now it's gonna look pretty good against everything when you have this big of a lead two items already for niski two items and a half there for upset so has the q evolve and life is hard for for a poor boy like jessica rest the team they got a lot of defensive tools he is gonna be a man all on his own in these fights trying to survive he is indeed and we'll see what happens i mean fanatics just going to put vision towards the top side pushing every lane astralis have to look for a miracle play so i think what you'll see astralis do and the only thing they can do is just kind of group up put numbers into one lane like they did on tunisia commit four numbers into mid four numbers at the top try to make a pick and then salvage the fight with just pure numbers advantage because you can't beat it you can't be snatched with just firepower in a sense so getting a bit desperate here niski has no tp tarik ult can be a game changer you know if you get if you get a big one upset ultim goes for the kill and then the tarakul comes in that could be a game changer you know could be i'll see how well promiscu times it yeah definitely a lot of pressure on him to kind of turn around what has been a difficult early game of course first few deaths maybe he can look back on after that year it's such a deficit that you can't blame him for trying for some of these more aggressive plays that said when they go wrong it puts you further in the hole again about 20 minutes into the game 10k gold difference three drakes we are minutes away from seoul this does feel pretty much done and dusted but maybe just maybe it's a tariq ultimate play maybe some kind of turnaround here but even with even with the talk ultimate two and a half seconds might not be enough time for astralis to take a fight if this was a solo good game muddy feel expresses no by the way yeah i yeah i agree i mean yeah is that as as as people who have played in that environment probably with him is this is this a characteristic you appreciate of his or is this something where you guys would be frustrated uh i respect it obviously we'll talk about solo game context obviously because in competitive always keep playing in a sort of context yeah this game would look pretty done but i think having a positive mentality is very good and then that's why he's such a successful solo player and he's always everyone respects him everyone respects himself he has i think five or six accounts in the top 10 of solo queue that just shows how much he grinds and yeah every game is winnable it's not over till the nexus explodes straight okay all right okay all right let's see what astralis can do with that um that mentality i don't know if it's gonna outweigh ten thousand dollars but it's it's it's uh it's something but again uh baron gonna be the big objective that we keep our eyes on normally 20 minutes would be a bit hard to pressure but with the viego with a set of casio who is one of the og baron shredders kaiser as well fnatic are basically just built as a team to murder the big purple worm yeah i think all you'll see here is now that niski's base he's got his three items upsets probably clearing out grump and wolves um to get the gold for his third item he'll base and then i think fnatic are just gonna start forcing in the end though both tier twos are down top and mid which means you can push waves into tier three upset probably basically now to collect this third item and then they're just gonna probably set up on this baron and just start it uh astralis is gonna have to be forced to walk into them when they do fanatical turn and astralis need to pray good tara called maybe some kind of mistake from fnatic there's a world where they'll kill one person not sure about five so you you two is you saw the nisky bill right you've got to buy boots is that something you would recommend okay yeah sure twitch chad loves it yeah i wasn't sure how we were going to fit um the boss into the cast but it appears that baiting drills is the number one uh strategy shuttle boots hey look you got to get faster to these plays sometimes slash promiscu right zanzaro if he gets spotted out the whippo see him i think he did i'm gonna step forward zanzara trying to do the best he can the knock up now coming through maybe that's the follow people flashing out to safety they're not gonna try to turn but if they're gonna be empowered by the torque that's five members standing in the midst of hillary clinton also very tanky astralis it looks so good to start but they cannot find it upset upset might be able to though he's sleeping and he's leaping out that's the ulti from zanzar the rest of the team now buying space hello going over the wall it's an absolute fiesta in the jungle but magic felix holding his ground okay astralis no one dies in the end but a lot of summoners and ultimates used no one's too chunked out zanzara did heal up on the jungle camp so they're not gonna have to be forced to base which means fnatic can't force the baron but 20 seconds on the ocean dragon that's the ocean soul for fnatic i think astralis no they can't contest this maybe they just want to go for baron just five minutes and flip it sometimes you just gotta do it that's gonna be a dissolve you have to do it no i think they have to if you lose this dragon it's over you have to get a baron but it's just going to walk in oh no astralis this is going to backfire so hard promise q the stun not enough he wants the ulti too but he doesn't have time to get the cooldowns up magic fell down needs to back away but is the dunk back down to the backside adam coming in big massive haymaker across four members of the team now whipple coming in stolen tark and elephant gonna step forward on his anzara one member going down just promised you the rest of the straw is going to be able to escape but with those blinking health bars it means fanatic key access to the major objective here yeah why not no tp magic phoenix was chased away and he's gonna tp back himself though it's a 4b5 zanzara has smite if he can land w on the baron he should be able to eat it there's the w now fnatic have to wait out the e there's the ground as well i think he can't get in the pit now unless he wants over and he's on the hillside but his side can knock him away not able to take it that was close finding the kill right as whippo is going to secure the baron fanatic baron and seoul baron in seoul and it all comes off this fight adam i mean regardless of them being so far ahead great engage you have to say um we're zooming on hillasang just clearing out the pink man he knows the fights won he's just getting his vision score up respect respect it it looked a little bit shaky in the baron pit i have to say it looked like hillary wants to hex flash over but by the time he did zanzibar was already eating through the pit so there was a slight split second there where maybe zanzibar could have stole it but the baron wasn't low enough but look at the vision score number one number tied does upset have zombie ward i wonder because zombie ward boosts your vision score so high i mean it's possible i think that might be the reason i mean we talked to upset he does really love stats so if anyone was going to abuse a keystone for stats yeah but you know taste of blood is quite a nice ruin in lane but we'll see anyway we'll find out we'll keep we'll keep you updated on the roof does have zombie water i just hold in my ear there we go so that's how he keeps up with hillary do we do we have any stats highest amount of deaths in in nbc uh marcus the boss would like a stat please when you have a moment oh highest deaths in the lec this is the eyeball collection when i was talking about that oh you mentioned why not going to interrupt him promise you in the midst of the entire team but he's going golden he's holding on this time matt just trying to turn magic feels could try to turn he fires back it's a three-man ulti maybe just babies his arm it's the entire team now unstoppable goes down my goddess throw us if they found the fight upsets don't touch on the back side there's no way to come out on top but jessica also still standing upset going in it's a mad play but it just might work upset going in with the triple blood in the water and he makes it work i think that is going to be able to end and 30 seconds on australis they have the baron buff 25 minutes in upset just alt into the back line they had nothing left it was a nice try by astralis to turn the game around magic felix three-man stun zanzara knocked away key members to make sure astralis could single out a target hillasang engaged a little bit too early but upset was there and ready with the killer instinct and i think that's going to be it's fnatic closing out the game in just over 25 minutes looking real clean right now absolutely are that's the biggest goal lead i've seen in a long time a very fast very controlled very confident game coming in from the side of fnatic now i'll be honest in those last few moments before upset alternated the back line and killed three people it looked really good for astralis i thought again maybe there was a chance that there was a miracle but fnatic still had a lot left in the tank still out of three item kaiser and that's all it takes to finish it out and now again fnatic tied for first with rogue standing at the top of the table after some crazy crazy off-season roster changes yeah you of course can let us know who you think had the biggest impact in that game kia play of the game wipo niski or upset those are your options and that's their ninth win out of the last 10 games for fnatic so pretty much looking unstoppable um that game you cannot attribute it to a snowball effect from mistakes from astralis but really good punish from fnatic boss whipponenski upset i don't want you to manipulate the boat too much i mean i'm surprised adam is not there i i thought adam played really well that pressure opposite candice took every kill on but i think brick was the obvious answer here he was watching his early game he did make viego's passive look questionably designed i'll give you that one very powerful once you find a kill i think that's something that we got to give him credit for but that said boss wants you to vote for him and laura's going to talk to him it's time for an interview with whippo thank you dracos and wieber thank you so much for joining me dominant win once again from fnatic and four wins in a row now uh last time we talked to you was in week three i think so i wanna know tell me about this new dynamic for fnatic because it feels like you clicked right away and i'm wondering if it's maybe one of the strongest iterations of fnatic you've been playing with i mean i don't know it'll all be made clear when we make playoffs of course for me i'd like to not get too far ahead of myself and ourselves so ultimately i think it's very important for us to make sure that we stay level headed we stay ahead of the competition i suppose because we're first place and i think all of us have some pretty bad memories from last split so we want to make sure that this one's a really good one so um it's hard to say whether we're the best or this is the best iteration i've played on or one of the best so far we're looking pretty hot and i'd like to carry that momentum into the playoffs for sure all right well how strong do you feel then compared maybe to spring uh when you were still playing top lane actually and yeah compared to the other teams in the lec maybe um i mean again i feel like we have a deserved spot at the top whether we're first second or third i think it's always uh you know in best of ones things can go your way they can go the opposite way um you know maybe we could had a little more wins we also could have lost some games to some small stuff going wrong or going right and i think that's the story of best of one and that's why you just try to be at the top of the ranking and that's what you try to you know focus on just try to get as many wins as you can and by the end of the split you get to see that said i feel like um i feel very confident in my team and i feel very confident that we can beat anyone in the lec and even contest for the title so um i would say yeah i mean it's better that i mean i guess my jungle career it's it's looking bright tell me more about this jungle career of repo because you got the kia player of the game here you got it many times this bit but yeah tell me how has it been playing in the jungle and do you actually prefer the jungle from the top lane um it has its ups and downs right i think that one thing i've learned is that i think i'm much smarter about the game now that i've played jungle i think that gaining perspective on other roles and understanding what's going on um in the game is really important and i think that like having a view that consists of like the whole game rather than just your lane or your situation in the jungle is really important and i'm very grateful that i got the opportunity to play jungle because i do think in the long run it has made me a much better player overall and much smarter when it comes to in-game decisions and that's it i mean it's nice to be player of the game but honestly i have some really talented players on my team and every single time this split so far at least i've never felt like i had to carry a game by myself like i've never had to like really put the team on my back and make shock like basically start to finish carry a game always i've had two or three pretty much the whole team always but the minimum three people on my team that were just carrying the game for me and all i had to do was make sure they were safe like for example this game adam gave up his early game completely to make sure that the rest of the team could just dominate the game and i think that that selflessness is something that everyone in our team has and everyone's willing to give themselves up to give the others a chance to carry and everyone that gets the chance to carry always delivers and i think that that's a beautiful thing and that's why i have so much confidence in our team right now and that is what makes a strong team in the end you mentioned adam so i have to follow up on this how has it been working with him what do you think about his progression in the luc and yeah tell me about how you're working together um adam's been great honestly like he's been very very aware of of his situation and very understanding like again when you're coming in as a rookie you're praised to be the best um at least like umass one of the best eu masters players you come into the lec you get put on fnatic all of a sudden your job is to farm creeps under your tower because your jungler will run to upset's lane but despite that he's really owned it and you can really see how much he invests towards his key towards our bot lane he tp bought this game roamed mid several times and you can really see that he's he's finding his place in a working uh system he's not trying to pull me away from from what's working for us and he's really making sure that he's integrating himself in the team rather than forcing us to adjust to him and i think that's one of the most important skills for any pro player and it's very reassuring to see that adam has immediately managed to pull this off i'm very glad to hear that i'm very glad to hear that everything's going well for fnatic you will be playing much of the week tomorrow so that's a wrap for the moment in this interview but good luck against chitsu tomorrow thank you very much you're welcome and we're going to take one last break and we'll be back in a couple minutes with vitality and g2 playing on stage for the last game [Music] they are out there waiting to be discovered [Music] some of them are big and some of them are small but that's the thing with ideas they don't just come to you to find them you have to move kia movement that inspires [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] now being in the lec i feel like i've gotten a proper shot i always thought i was good enough when i started playing professionally then obviously it was my goal to play against the best always leader didn't stand by the tallest is gladified in 2019 spring split it was so supposed to happen so it was not like i was surprised or anything misfits showed up to play today there's a lot of pressure on this roster because of other big names on my team like three people that has to prove themselves i guess and i'm one of them the bigger goal is always to be the best that i'm undisputed the best honestly the goal feels closer than before that takes down caps there's a follow-up there as well as now jankos has dropped down vitality inside the pits is wonders running for his life the round warp will send two members of vitality and they represent to pick up a triple kill for leader right now i would like to achieve playoffs at least and then i want to go to worlds mentality have just dominated g2 always win the game is always winnable so it's not like it's hopeless or anything so i just see what i can improve on personally and try to make the most out of it and try to play better tomorrow hopes for leader and big pressure on his shoulders welcome back to week six of the lec where leader and vitality had a monstrous performance in week three when they faced g2 esports and tonight they looked to repeat that versus the eight time champions it was an absolute shocker there was only one death for vitality and on the side of lavrov but overall nobody expected them to come out as they did versus g2 in week three and they need to do it again they absolutely do the thing is between then and now the teams could not look any more different right vitality of the debut in week one of summer they popped off they showed exactly what we were expecting the self-made and leader show now week on week they have not been able to find the same level of impact and frankly speaking because it is a relatively telegraphed playstyle multiple teams have shown that they can't counter it but the thing that you have to respect is if self-made only get an advantage then you're good enough to close the game out and this game is a 28-minute victory they got sold they only consider one day it was really impressive outside of them and as you say it was one of those scenarios in which they got the plan that they liked and they were able to play to their strengths and play it out versus the top team that's great but you can't copy paste that every single no you cannot and also caps sucked that game like this there's no way to to to phrase that nicer his gwen performance was simply not up to par self-made and leader shut him down and punished every single mistake and i think it is fair to say that caps has had a difficult opening to some of the first three or four weeks now however especially with last week's performance he's hitting back he shaved their head and he's coming with a different approach absolutely and let's highlight a particular performance from last week being that game the match of the week versus rogue they had a 2-0 overall but it started in the bottom lane and it just bled into the entire map uh reckless over the whole weekend by the way not that i'm a kda lover but 17 1-5 i mean you can sometimes say the man's playing for kda but he absolutely carried g2 the rest of the the team also carried it was a great weekend it doesn't matter how many years if you you and i have had the pleasure of shoutcasting and commentating and interviewing reckless the narrative of kda player he won't cost you the game but maybe he won't win you the game well yes he bloody well can but you do need to enable him you do need to play around him or get him into a position where he's comfortable g2 last weekend looked absolutely terrifying and dominating i'm interested to see if it can continue because the thing is there's no margin for error against lead and against southmate these players have punished they're on the stage they've got something to prove they are on the stage indeed and i think it's important to state uh that for both teams there is so much on the line you may say g2 they always bounce back they have again two and zero but you want that number one or number two spot going into the playoffs and for vitality anyone you ask say if you have to pick someone in the bottom half of the middle of the table who will make it to playoffs vitality and it has to happen it absolutely does especially with the fact xl just dropped the game a little bit earlier mad lions just dropped the game a little bit earlier that bottom of the table the race for fourth fifth sixth is spicy right now in vitality all within touching distance they are g2 and vitality are closing out the day we'll be back with game five right after the [Music] break [Music] [Music] foreign
