FNC vs. MSF - Playoffs Round 2 | LEC Summer Split | Fnatic vs. Misfits Gaming | Game 5 (2021)

[Music] welcome back to berlin for game five of fanatic versus misfits it has been a hell of a journey but it has been an entertaining one we are still averaging one kill per minute across every single one of these games and i expect nothing less for the fifth and final game i definitely agree everyone has been insanely trick or happy sometimes to the point well it's too much but we don't talk about that we're here for the action trevor and i think specifically fnatic has done a very good job at being the one pulling that trigger they have most of the time unfortunately the trigger in the top lane in game four is what allowed me to build up that gigantic lead now for the first time in playoffs this summer misfits will be on the blue side as fnatic lost game four they elected red side and this opens up so many possibilities we don't know what misfits preferences are on blue side because they didn't play a single game against rogue and this will be the first one today it definitely and it also does so much with the bands what happens now to that blue sights in saurban or v8 or the ability that misfits now actually get to first pick one of these champions is there any takeaway that they're suddenly looking for for them from the side of flattick that's all these questions that we just can't answer because as you set yourself very unknown territory and of course what we've seen from both teams today is also an adaptation to the performances and the expectations that we had kobe and vanda have been playing significantly well adaptations in the draft as well as some support from resort is not something you see very often adam has been the recipient of several gangs and a lot of support as well so what direction do fnatic and misfits want to take and also how will they handle depression now both of these teams are in game five last weekend fnatic won theirs misfits lost both of these teams with one more win are looking down a series against g2 on sunday but for one of these teams the expectation is significantly higher fnatic where expected are anticipated are fundamentally european and they might drop out right now it's crazy to think about honestly just standing here studio light flashing game five trevor this is why it's all happening this is where the best moments are built all the biggest regrets best moments biggest regrets what will misfits be able to do now as they will have the first band as well as the first pick viego zinzao um two of the things that are playing on my mind fanatica band jace varys and zim every single game on blue side will they maintain that on the flip kalista and thresh have been misfits priority and so far no change on the first band i still think you can go down this path i still think you can go through the bands that misfits has gone for i think the ability of them being blue side now just opens up a first big takeaway and now they're going in with the rakan ban as a secondary so they're threatening that we might not ban thresh we might leave it open and there you go it's gonna be the brawn ban so all of a sudden diego thresh ferris the champion we haven't seen all series is suddenly up they are indeed and what will misfits want to pick of course that viego does not seem to have the same level of influence in resorts hands as it does in whippo's faris will be the third and final banner with thresh available it will be locked in for vanda has been the 100 presence throughout playoffs upset will so steal away one of those hyper carriers that does tend to get paired with thresh in this video especially because varys has already taken off the table so one of these immobile carries he can facilitate uh super important that your failures is just taken away but then morgana now from hilly-sang as well i checked the other day um just because i was very curious about it um and i don't think you might have to check me on that trevor that he's actually won on morgana yet this season let me open this up for you as you mentioned this season morgana plays four hillasang zero percent wins with three games played resort will lock in the lease in kobe goes back to the ash which has won two games for him so far and nisky this time around with twisted fate in the first phase locked in and all of a sudden the side lanes are gonna be a huge problem it's already something that misfits they struggle a bit to deal with once we ended up in the mid game in a 131 split map what do you want to call it open map sorter and now with twisted fade to come through that's going to be even more volatile so they're taking away the silas they don't want it to be answered but that also means now the junglers they can start trimming them down themselves they opted in for the lee sin over the diego and now they can try and diminish with host champions of course with the fact that since our band out as well there's two priority champion picks that we've seen throughout summer playoffs unavailable tube whippo what direction do they want to prioritize their bands for now as it will be that rise removed from fnatic this time around ensuring that vto cannot get his hands i'm gonna pick that nisky has really had a fantastic performances on throughout the course of the games today misfits one band left and then fnatic need to look for either their top laner or their jungler i think fnatic they just need to look for their jungler here and you can just get counter pick for adam you already know what the enemy jungler is playing themselves so i think a champion like volleyball after the champions uh set since now or not set but but the trundle has come through it's just like the go-to now with the volleyball and the skirmish you can have with this champion the tower dives you can set up unless they're thinking about something else here well we'll find out in just a moment or two which direction they're gonna go and we'll be locking in the graves this will be the first time graves for uh whippo all summer long and in conjunction with the twisted fates the affiliates the morgana it is a very very different look composition what on earth do misfits want to do to answer this yeah that's the thing you want to go for the blank now that you know it's twisted faith and yes that is what you're going for i think it's because twisted fate does so well into control mages because they don't get to do a lot in the early game where twisted faith can influence the map there so they're trying to shut it down with the blank and speaking of opening the map gangplank comes through now from herod and the counterpick is on fnatic now now this gangplank is going to be able to influence that bottom lane with the canon barrage this will be the first time we've seen it this summer four for herod and his gangplank all time seven games played five wins the answer from adam is the cho'gath so let's zoom out and what are these two compositions want to do before we do that do you know the last time i saw adam play cho'gath do you know when that was please tell me it was in the european masters final that adam was weak side against a romaine a familiar name for a long time he was out there as well and he won the entire thing so this is definitely a champion he's been on before and he's gonna have the weak side duty now that you have the twisted faith now that you have a graves to play for as well as a carry and of course what does the rest of the composition want to do with this i think on the side of misfits it's relatively you know familiar things we've seen before the ability to find picks the ability to put pressure but when you look at the uh team fighting or front lines it does get a little bit scary for them it does so for misfits win lane win game that's what we're looking for here with the leblanc in the mid lane thresh obviously a champion that isn't the biggest engage you just let um you've repositioned specifically with the ash as well but as you said yourself in a broad team fight scenario it can get tricky for misfits so it's about being ahead of the curb having these pocket of visions that we saw fnatic in game four utilize so well that's on misfit to try and replicate that now oh pockets of vision making sure the setups are done correctly misfits haven't done that all series long but we're open to game five of fanatic versus misfits and welcome to summoners rift for the final time tonight and see who will be able to pick up the advantages because this series has been chaotic has been a brawl heavy and frankly has also been punishing both teams have committed to engages and movements around the map that their opponents have been able to benefit from so if you're a fan here of misfits you want to ensure that resort does not necessarily uh blindly face check again and of course for fnatic gotta temper that aggression a little bit they played with a lot of restraint up until game four where they pushed past that uh top lane and got punished very heavily no level one shenanigans no pressure just yet so it's been a while since we've seen the graves in the jungle and graves is different from a few other junglers due to the fact that he's not really there to play for the lanes the lane are theirs to play for for the graves rather instead so whenever you can get some priority or whenever there is a twisted fade ultimate hopefully you can use that to skirmish around with brepo because that is where this strength lies in this champion and of course on misfits their response or they're hopeful um additional tool will be that cannon brush from herritz once he does gain access to it we know that fnatic like to invest a lot of resources and time into the bottom lane and when you see the felios definite options for them as nisky and vto just trade blows as they clear out that ward inside the river so race to power for those level six and uh the very first time you see nisky activate that destiny you really want it to be impactful the cooldown is very very long at that first level so we'll be tracking their decision making both jungles in the top half of the map there's upset and hillary will be caught by the double flay forced to flash already copy steps forward below 100 hit points takes a turret shots and now hilly trying to get the kill to copy no heel available for him flashing claims was already used fighting into the minions and hell is saying an upset escape with their lives for now i'm not sure what caused him to live there if there's was the order that got cancelled what happened there with the last one but upset forced to use all summoners so his copy and this bot lane for once of misfits is having so much pressure hobby and vanda are stepping up today making sure they have an influence upset decided to stick around in lane still using those uh regenerative biscuits and there's no support just yet from the rest of fnatic the minion wave is being pushed forward and resort is stepping into the darkness of fnatic's jungle yeah he is and right now prepper is moving down towards the wolves i don't know if he's going to be able to check on towards the blue buff but even if he does vanderville have the first move due to him having crashed the waves right now so resort did well past that ward information is available blue buff is stolen away now resort and vanda in a position to cause trouble for fnatic this is a a good start for misfits who i think have been on the receiving end of more invades uh and more sort of counter jungling moves from fnatic throughout the course of this series and being able to not only get upsets flash and heal but also steal away that blue buff from whippo is a good start for razor on this lee sin it definitely is and rashok is moving off towards the top side of the map while the bot lane is trying to get vision off the bottom side scottsdale to make sure that whippo he's not getting any leverage in this game so as he's clearing out the gromp misfits bot lane there are going to be taking care of this got hole it's going to quick draw over the wall no champions to fight in lane but what does he do this could be scary if they walk down and get checked by fnatic as well before he's gonna be behind them well teleports are available here for misfits this thing gets caught by the volley teleport is being channeled that's the flash forward into the dark binding panda does have the flash available and he has used it four members of fnatic off ford the death player sentence pulls one back founder gets taken out first blood for upset can copy again another return no not yet but gets the level up and there's no reply yet razor makes his way into the bottom lane and fnatic find first bloods they do in a very creative version as well where misfit they anticipated whippo would already have backed up but he went in and tried to counter jungle and as soon as they were spotted on division you called the trevor the teleport it came through and they picked up the first plot there's of course no level six for hear it no teleport replies from misfits and a cheeky cheeky play from bupo allows a fanatic to secure the kill and so important landing in upsets pockets definitely so walk in through the of war the members of misfits not anticipating that a tp should be discarded so hilly just flashes forward immediately to catch out on the binding and the gold card from nisky it's just enough to pick up the first block from the last sniper off offset there oh i held my breath once that death sentence connected whipper was just far enough away to quick draw to safety so this gives fnatic a minor 600 gold lead and as in that mid lane nisky is continually shoving forward into vto no huge surprises still farm fest in the top lane as you would expect but uh herod making his way towards that level six and then we need to see how the misfits want to make use of their composition nisky as well almost at level six and you know for a fact that fnatic are going to look to force the hand try to force misfits especially with no flashes in the bottom lane yeah definitely i think you arrived what you said in the beginning top side action probably not something we're gonna be seeing anything off um except out of a herald play later into the game and right now both junglers they are puffing down back towards this pat but side of the map on this next minion wave nisky he should be hitting level six as well so either it's just going to continue to stay at stake scale onto one of them once to go for one of these objectives or something is going to happen very soon as soon as nisky hits that level six yeah definitely that's definitely that's what's happened this entire series right on average one kill per minute but in game four and now in game five the opening laning phase is a little bit more measured as the stakes have risen and as the tension has uh started to set in razor trying to fish for opportunities here no camps available to him or straight over a ward that was placed there by nisky and nisky able to back away so fanatical start off the first dragon very very early on the clock here as well yeah once again early on the clock and with the bot lane priority they should be able to go for it but cross map could come through here adam is very healthy but he barely has any mana so he's going to be forced to back off he does still have this tp if he wants to go back so i think what misfits are going to be looking for here is just some counter jungling potentially that will be yet another for resort step forwards here from carby and vanda the destiny is being channeled niski arrives gold corner to copy instantly cleans the way his flash is available once more teleport from bto copy gets the kill onto nisky and there's the fanatic start to back away canon barrage committed as well it happens again quite sure the overflows from fnatic that came through with that one ultimate from nisky just caught it too long and he scattered from the rest of the members black shield not enough and i think that uh cleanse being available for copy was so so important gold card did not hold him in place long enough now canon barrage and teleport used from both kirits and vto upset continues to wail away on that turret but misfits they they bite back the kill is secured one for cobby one for upset in the bottom lane yeah definitely but that's also the twisted fate ultimate down for long times without potential that scare you might have in the back of your mind no longer needs to be there and with potentially small 10 seconds off for the rift held to spawn you can start looking for this as misfits because if you can get priority against him then you can start all objectives and i think that's very important i'm going to go back to draft something you said uh that really stuck with me good borg win lane win game uh one of the most important things here for this misfits composition i think you can see how difficult it can be into the cho'gath into the felios once they do get multiple items under their belt and hear it we'll be the recipient of some attention with both steps forward he's going to clear up the ward for now that's a side step from the rupture adam and herod continue to trade blows back and forth the feast is available for adam and bripo will get more support from hillary as well yeah look at the move already vander is on the way up here as well definitely this rift towel is the line of sight for a lot of them and now vanda is spotted out on a wall so the rest of fnatic will have this information now to work with all right upset backed away picked himself up the noon quiver returning to lane where hobby is standing and will catch most of those minions util steps forward still gets caught by the dark binding lantern is available to him and he escapes four members of fnatic starting to surround the herald they're in the river with a better position yeah they are but right now opposite has made his way up towards it but as soon as he sees the fnatic or misfits rather is backing off he's making his way down back towards this bottom side so he won't miss the wave again that coffee is pushing in the rest of the team members starting to group up harold's still being focused by boipo that's a dash in from resort just taunting members of fnatic dark binding catches instantly and that's vto down so many ultimates blown but they get the kill now here it's the next target flashes away eats and orange and it's okay the herald's still alive and will be secured unless resort can do something magical and just to land the sonic wave and will not follow two quick kills there correction one quick kill for fnatic it increases their total to two but it's just it's it's scary it's risky for both teams it definitely is and while copper was down in the bottom lane and the plate has fallen he actually wasn't around to pick it up he tried moving off and the minions took down the plate so yes two have fallen he only collected gold off one will be able to be equalized out there as fanatic secure themselves a plate in the top lane we're both going to linger for now three members of misfits making their way up no teleport for vto and uh nisky will not have any support for him so fanatic a thousand gold lead an ocean drake and a kill in the advantage plus the fact that they can use that rift herald wherever they want to the the potential to increase that gold difference is very very high for fnatic it's a minute and a half until the next dragon as well so a lot of options for fnatic especially because that destiny is up again for nisky so they can actually just cut a wave or cut a lane completely if they want to but the rest of misfits they're looking for adam who's a bit overextended his feast will be available relatively shortly feral schlem will slow things down for now teleport being channeled nisky will arrive to support adam not enough damage from resort convicio the rest of fnatic five members strong pushing into the bottom lane dark finding is held for now but the canon barrage used by her to clear out the minion wave the rift held will be summoned mr fennec start to back out while that's going on here it was hammering away in the top lane he gets himself a couple of plates copies in the mid lane this is just a battle on every single front it is but they still should be able to pick up the most gold here from fnatic nisky picked up a huge amount then while you are getting plates of the rest of the map it still feels like classic they're driving this one around and that's extend the gold lead further they get the tower first blood bonus here it gets himself a couple of plates in the top lane and it is fnatic dictating the tempo you know the ones making misfits respond to them and for the time being it is working out in their favor also 10 seconds to dragon vision from misfits relatively defensive for the first time in a little while um fnatic this time around don't have that pre-set up for the vision as the dragon spawns so they invested a lot of their vision off towards the top side of the map you can already see the pink waters that sitting one in the try one in the pixel and one towards the mid lane as well but with the resets now coming through i think that's when they're first gonna be starting to pick them up but you look at the items and eclipse hash just come through from the side of whippo while i think from the rest of the members we're still missing a little bit it just picked up gore drinker divine sandra there for heritage a question in my mind right now how will misfits deal with this cho'gath um you know how on earth will they get through him if this game gets to those team fights that we've seen so frequently adam already survived the 2v1 right now uh it's just going to continue stacking up that feast stacking up the hp the armor and there's no real like true ten killer on the side of misfits i mean that's the thing but at the same time they deal um really well with a mobile champion like choker due to the fact of slopes they have on the teams the chain the repositioning with the lantern as well so he's gonna be annoying as a front frontliner but not so much in your face as you would would think usually all right and of course then can fnatic make sure that uh they start the team fights to use him effectively right now no towers picked up by misfits they're still just uh camping cobby in the middle lane 123 cs to the 109 of upset copy's been left alone for a very long period of time and he's building up his arsenal should have enough to pick up his mythic and i just think one brief moment to just look at copy this series 676 damage per minute 30 damage share i think very very importantly rising to the challenge of upset a fanatic definitely so while fnatic is starting up this straight as their second drake and objective the rest of misfits they are moving up towards the top side to try and threaten a potential turret here so they are getting it they're just going through with the cross maps while broker is a bit low misfit so vto might find him but there's no backup and destiny is up for nisky well he holds the trigger for now the rest of misfits making their way towards that middle lane vanda was caught up by the dark binding and pto will be able to find the chains onto puerto he uses the collateral damage backwards and flash plus the quick draw to safety destiny was triggered by niski he's not going to use the gate to do anything but continue staying in lane and this game is much wider multiple lanes multiple cross maps a different vibe to the rest of the series how many kills per minute or did you say we had before it was one kill per minute for the four previous games okay this this is definitely not it i can tell you that much you can clearly see that this game has the highest stakes so far and no team is willing to pull the trigger without having any reason to do so flattick they tried to do it at the bottom side they gave over a kill to misfits and at the same time for misfits they're not looking for too much just yet it seems like they want their items down before they really start up these fights i mean crucially misfits have been able to secure plates and farm whenever fnatic are initiating plays the gold difference of 800 really does not mean a lot however two dragons at 15 minutes is a concern so misfits will need to fight either the third or the fourth dragon vito will step into adam who manages to get the rupture and feral scream chunks him down to 50 percent hp already and uh it's it's been fanatics let's say pace right because fanatics are the one fanatic is the team that's making the first moves and forcing misfits around the map yeah definitely but i also think as fanatic right now they can take it slowly just because you said it before themselves the straight stacking is already there misfit not really looking to contest anything so if fnatic wants something so far they go and get it and that's the pace that's set but it's on misfit at some point with either the thresh or the ash to find one of these picks and once again as i created as we said in the draft as well trevor to find these wish and vision pockets where you can set up the cc and pick one member of a fnatic if you see misfits trying to set one of those up definitely call it out but fnatic they've got themselves four mythics in the inventory already and they are poised to defend this mid turret ashara once again and a miss no targets available to them cobby's just uh going fishing for the time being hasn't been able to find an ultimate to impact the game just yet yeah definitely but now with them moving off towards the top side of the map i wonder if nadine wants to attack the red side because all the camps in rashaw's jungle is up so they can just clear out so much of experience and gold so while you are getting the thrift held it looks like whippo wants to get in clear his raptors clear his red buff and take away all that standard gold there is for the map to collect also can leave some wards as we are getting ready for the next dragon to spawn oppo steals away bramble back um not many wards actually no wards in the inventory so unable to do that while the red buff was stolen resort picks up the second rift herald that could be used to unlock either that mid or that bottom turret and uh very very different game this time around but i have to ask you at 17 minutes with misfits technically being behind are you starting to get nervous for their composition as we're scaling to one and two and three items i mean the more i think about it there's it's not really like they're unrivaled in a side lane or it feels like they can be the only problem is of course the twisted faith that can disrupt this but if you get out on the sideline later the gangplank can be a massive influence for you just due to the short range there actually is some fanatic i mean they do have ranged champions but the amount of that range is actually not that that much so one barrel in a team fight or a group member suddenly taking so much damage can mean a lot later and can be a win condition for misfits as well and everybody hoping for misfits to pick up a win here is sincerely praying that we get a lck or korean gangplank performance maybe accepting an lpl gangplank performance as well don't see that many of them no you don't see too many of them but uh of course because of the impact those barrels can have you really need hear it to perform fnatic once again looking to initiate the play gold card goes out does manage to catch out kobe as does the wild cards and the ever frost nothing more yet from fnatic don't want to over commit vto making his way down from the top lane and this is just a dance for control 30 seconds to dragon they're fighting for priority this is a game of catch just due to the fact that oh there we go the ashara connects on to adam blackshield comes out just a little bit late the box was thrown down by vanda that is a very important cooldown that is definitely a very important cooldown but the thing is there's no instant engage on either team comp and that's why it's so stale as well trevor because no one has the tools to just immediately pull the trigger well the gold card was eaten away by the parlay from here it's gangplank stepping forward once again vto trying to find a flank gold card will connect but no further follow up and the rift here will be taken out before the charge can complete dragon is open and in the pits and we've got a 5b5 i love the call out about the initiation tools that's the gold card on to vander and no further follow-up or damage from fnatic in fact they are the ones losing this chunk and chip and poke war misfits concede mid lane and make their way to the pits yeah definitely nisky pinging on the way up towards the top side map there's a wave that needs to be collected and at that same time misfit they should just be able to go to pick up the drake so finally we start to see some light sights off live from the side of misfits and i think we need to talk about how these teams want to either start their fights or how they just play for the objectives because as you rightly called out the lack of sort of hard engage could be problematic teleport committed by adam's smoke screen from whippo will force the flash from vto this top turret is now under threat while that's going on here it with a 40 cs advantage is pushing that bottom turret and will secure it definitely i like adam he's a bit cheeky he's letting the minions tied to the turret before he takes it off just so there's not much let's go for misfit to actually pick up and right now i think i think we're just going back to a bit of a stale game where once again trevor it is gonna come down to this vision pocket this of all it's gonna be a bit of a cold war because there is not that instantaneous engage and we need to see that picked up from the pressure you get of the waves we need to see you be a bit more aggressive find some of these warts to try and put into a position where people are not expecting it to finally catch them off guard and i think as well some of the flashes and the cleanse from cobby it's going to be so very important there's no cleanses on the side of fnatic so if a ash arrow does connect into a death sentence into leblanc chains there are ways to pick off targets but if both teams are grouped up as a 5v5 it is so incredibly risky to jump into the opposing forces and that's what we saw on that previous dragon fight just that uh concern waiting for someone to be out of position yeah definitely we even saw it with the vto getting caught off guard by it but now mid lane priority on bot lane priority s has been picked up by nisky he can move out towards the mid lane but they're just there for wave clear and there's just no nothing to fight on right now the map there's camps that's going to be spawning but it's just them pushing in the wave the opponent grabbing them and then pushing in the wave again trying to wait for someone to make a mistake trying to find that potential pig don't forget that upset who's on your screen right now the ultimate with graviton can be a very powerful engage but my my word is it a a bold move if you commit that right now the recall is just about to finish resort cancels his recall three members a piece once again in this mid lane reminder do or die lose this game you're done for 2021 if you win you would want to face g2 on sunday so almost almost is a scary prospect right congratulations you won you still have to do this all over again for a shot at the finals for a shot at the title and of course for shots at the world championship i think going back to the scaling point of view this gangplank is actually just genuinely loving this the more you just have time to not think about doing anything actually just sit back just clean waves you're actually having a genuinely good time on the side of fnatic though he does have that failures that can be quite scary we've seen the amount of ultimates and different damages you can get out of it from either the white or of course the blue gun with infernum's just completely blowing teams off but right now ophelia is usually a champion that likes to kite back and right now for misfits they want to deal with you and poke they want to deal with you and pick and that's why this is such an untraditional game right now trevor yeah of course if you are just joining us the four previous games we're all about team fights and skirmishes at a kill a minute across them this time around a much more tempered approach and it feels like it'll come down to who can play the lanes better nisky is trying to run down vto support from misfits will come out in a moment or two another gold card connects and nisky will just about do it fantastically played vto had no options at all what the okay this rarely it's it's quite rare you see a twisted fate just decide to run down on the blank on the sideline but i guess nisky just completely found the play for it there the everfrost plus the rapid fire cannon out playing vto completely that will be the third kill secured for fnatic and we're one minute away from the dragon so where are the vision pockets goldberg is anything available here to misfits because it just looks to me like they've invested in and around the mid lane yeah it it genuinely does but i think there is the potential for them to get that bot type priority once again we just saw what nisky was able to do and with this they can decide to push themselves a bit further out on the map and when you do that that's when you can start to look for it but once again it goes down to that mid lane the fact that mid lane is still standing is stopping you for getting that aggressive vision it's stopping you for finding that correct pocket you're looking for i mean the fact that towers are still up and upset and kobe just forming up 252-243 now members of fnatic are going to apply pressure the dark binding will not find its target and vito hops over the wall the canon barrage thrown as well death sentence will connect onto hitter saying as well as the player the box is dropped out barrels being placed by herod but not enough damage just yet all of a sudden the dissuasion everyone backs away they cannot stick on targets long enough here it is gonna be able to escape that gold card their sentence won't find a target five seconds to the dragon and just like that it's the same exact situation we had before on only this time around it's fanatic they get the benefit of the little skirmish or fight whatever you want to call it in that mid lane where they just exchange blows and the thing is this puts fnatic onto dragon soul point the third of the game and we are still dead even as far as the gold and the towers are concerned we are going to have interesting team fights around the objectives and here it may be the the hero for misfits as he has been all summer long he's got himself the serpent's fang to compliment sterx as well as that divine sunderer but he needs to ensure that there is some time and some vision to set up those barrels and try to hit that back line yes i know but 25 minutes into the game and mid lanes are still standing third item has been picked up which rarely happens it only happens towards the end of the game and this is just a tell of this story where bo he flashes away to safety nisky where does he want to go stepping outside of base for now destiny and flash used just to threaten vanda the rest of the members of misfits now make their way back to that middle lane niski jumped to the top with the gate herod is pushing the bottom lane and this may come down to who can play the map better black shield will buy some time and kobe holds on to that enchanted crystal arrow for now we're setting ourselves up for wave management here that the team that can uh uh unlock an advantage while holding their opponents down is who's gonna be able to pull ahead definitely but it's also some simple because it's it's not really like there's a lot of poke again um you do have a few things to play around with like the rapid fire cannon that can come out from this key to create any long engaged pick um and also the sniper to come through from offset every now and then but that that's that's kind of it when you're speaking of poke at least from the side of fnatic and the same thing can be said from misfits you have the arrows you have v2 dashing forward every once in a while and obviously the barrels but in a long range scenario it's super hard for them to connect and that's kind of just what's happening now but with misfits now finally putting them still forward here in fnatic going back a little bit we may see a middle injury be picked up here a lot of damage has come down the moonlight vigil was committed sonic wave into the resonating strike but look at how much burst resort took the tower was secured advantage to misfits three towers to two and hillesang was forced to flash defensively but with both of these compositions lacking i think sort of clear engage tools we are going to keep going into these dances around objectives and small stalemates for the time being misfits two and a half minutes until that dragon salt i think they'll be relatively happy maybe that it's a mountain instead of something a little bit more uh beneficial on the side of fnatic but now they are looking to hunt down here to level 16 by the way doing a fantastic job 300 cs at 27 minutes yeah it's definitely a good count to come through from that one uh but we're just back into this mid lane but i'm actually looking for it dragon's rage kick into the death sentence with the black shield by so much time razor uses the stopwatch and the crystal arrows will lock down upset that's one of the key members vto is looking for the chains and the gold card will connect but vito dashed away to safety death sentence goes up connects on to hillary he's not going to be the threat just yet as vito roots in place adam nisky rapid fire can available in just a moment looking for a target but this is the challenge these teams are facing they cannot start at proper engage unless someone is out of position fnatic are able to brute force their way into the middle turret three a piece in the barrel from here it does not find a target fnatic aren't done yet they're on the inner chart now yeah misfits they're caught up completely off guard they went down to one path of that mid lane and had to be forced off the main lane here and all of a sudden two turrets have been picked up by fnatic just due to the way you passed here from misfits that means that the advantage and that long lane will cause some complications fnatic still remain grouped up slowly backing away is in minutes until the mountain soul neither team has invested any time or resources into baron as of yet but fnatic marginally ahead in the fifth and final game and that's a pause [Laughter] it has been a very long and interesting day and the pressure will continue to grow it definitely will it's very tense and i i was actually just about to say that now when the mid lane have finally fallen now we should start seeing this aggressive vision and now we should start seeing them go for this fight that needs to happen because mountain soul is on the way i'm not a hundred percent sure that either team will throw themselves fully at a team fight unless that objective is the the focus so what i was thinking as well is that now you actually have that long lane where you suddenly can have the choker come in from a tp flank because you won't be disrupted by a tower or something to run through like that instead well just a very quick update from production it was a misfits pauses vanda wanted to take a look at some of his hardware and we will be resuming the action momentarily as we jump back into this game i mean it is just it is such a stark difference to everything else that we have seen and despite the fact that this gang plank and you know leblanc can you know have an impact it's starting to feel scary three items for upset ga hurricane shield bow as well three items for nisky with the hourglass and the rfc starting to stack up their mega eyes as well i feel like there's more tools for fnatic yes listen we're just it's just a quiet before the storm that we're witnessing right now because with these items being built up the team fights that's gonna happen if they finally happen when the team finally commits they're going to be absolutely insane that they are going to be what every minute of this game led up to because that that not a lot actually happened well adam is in the top lane starts to teleport that will complete and set us up for the 5v5 20 seconds until the dragon is alive gold card fired from misky upset starting to back away now there's a potential threat of baron as well rupture knocks razor into the air and all of a sudden fnatic have got the vision advantage it'll be up to misfits to step into the darkness fnatic pushing forward barrel is denied from hear it and the rupture won't find a target death sentence connects onto the cho'gath but so does niski get chunked out canon barrage comes down that's a four-man rupture adam knocks up all of misfits he's kicked backwards the resort goes forward as the resonating strike hear it he's trying to focus out purpose but misfits are falling misfits are split misfits are dying cobby and vander fall to fnatic and the dragon soul is going to be available to them a flash forward from nisky plus the other frost secures another kill for upset this will be the soul to fnatic that is finally actioning happy now in this game in fnatic for adam with that rupture absolutely insane i cannot believe he found a four-man rupture that was the single ability that allowed fnatic to pour forward and finish up the kills oh and it's starting pretty good from the side of misfits they find cece onto adam they find cece onto miss ornisky and all the members are locked in a cannon barrage but hear it he can't get onto the back line he's stalling with whipple and while he's doing that the rest of the members are piling down on the members of misfits that just got completely ruptured by adam allows fnatic to have a confirmed control of the game with the mountain soul with 2 000 gold lead and crucially after multiple stare downs in those five v5s it was adam that was the game changer multi-man knock-up six kills to two fnatic now looking to press this advantage further it's still gonna be slow going these compositions will take time destiny will arrive long range gold card thanks to vanda's thresh vto and results split off from the rest of the team goldberg yeah now baron could be on the table here this big shield that's coming through from this mountain soul and the choker almost unkillable with his items now at this point so fnatic they could start this up they could try and play around division here and it's not for misfits to try and face check it i'm so glad you talked about that shield the powder kegs from here it's gangplank significantly reduced in effect at least for the shields being up gold card will tag here it paulie gets him out fnatic continues to remain grouped up they need to stay grouped do not allow misfits to skirmish around them and copy chance of crystal hours available he needs to find a crucial target but innocent can always respond with that black shield definitely can and right now there's just not much vision you have the scouting hawk to check every now and then with the ash arrow but that's it once again flies out no further follow-up misfits cannot group up and allow another rupture to be game-changing four minutes until elder baron is still available and this game has reduced to just one lane has reduced to the 5v5 stare down and of course whoever loses is done with 2021 baron has now been started by fnatic he definitely has blue trinket one has come through there's another one as well on the side of misfits but they will need to put themselves into this one but fnatic as well they're backing off remember no immediate engaged trevor so it has to come through from one of these skill shots destiny is available for nisky where does he take it powder keg's flying out resort lands the sonic wave and doesn't follow it through fnatic are able to force misfits towards them but ultimately do not stick to the baron do not commit to the fight i think they may need to spend some of that gold we have been in the stair down for an extended period of time and we're starting to move towards four items being completed for our carries it is quite honestly insane to look at right now and four items as you said almost for the 80 carries coming through for this one nisky as well on the way towards his fourth item and adam just picked up the phone mail now so the itunes the inventory in general is almost at a max capacity and it just seems like everyone's with baron been up with no trace being up for the taken it just keeps going i think this might come down to even elder if this is the pace the game is going to take well wouldn't it be a fantastic end to the misfit story one way or the other elder drake and fights around it define game number five live and die by the elder drake four misfits this composition did not manage to get ahead early we're hoping that uh four misfits win win lane win game would have been one of the most important ways because you can see how difficult it is to get around this cho'gath to deal with nisky on those gold cards he just keeps firing them out over and over and over eight stacks on that magis and then if all of that goes well you then somehow have to deal with the felios who's now moving towards four completed items it is it is a tough ask especially because you can front to back with the ash but the front you're trying to back is this cho'gath who's unkillable you need to get backline access if you want to blow someone up but there's the binding there's the black shield there's the defensive tools as well that's just gonna be coming through and it's making the game so hard and on the side of misfits they don't have that clear-cut tank they don't have the leverage of that do you believe in the gangplank because that is the question four items completed let's manage to add the sorel disgrudge to uh the inventory and i haven't seen or felt the impact just yet and it's going to be into the mountain it doesn't feel like i'm looking at a four item gangplank because when i see these these kecks finally connect onto radam for example it barely tickles him like that he's not even a quarter of your hp gone i mean he's got himself 10 stacks from feast already um as you mentioned in terms of the itemization starting to get even more beefy five members of fnatic are grouped up in the mid lane it's a minute until the elder drake heritage staring down the gigantic void monster destiny is now being channeled gold caught on to vto ever frost rooted in place the rupture not gonna land this time round that's a mimic as well flash forward for nisky that's a kill 44 seconds until elder and 50 second death timer for vtr you just have that tp though but yes you're completely right they can nuke that immediately but they're going off towards the barrier and then afterwards we should be looking at potentially elder orders fnatic trying to push down the lanes oh this is so close fnatic still need to secure the objectives they've been hesitant to commit to the fight and baron will allow them to pressure multiple lanes four members of misfits are grouped in the middle lane they're not looking to threaten the baron instead with 15 seconds on elder maybe setting themselves up for that baron will be secured by fnatic they extend that gold lead they add it to the mountain soul teleport comes in from here it and this is the final stand misfit stood on top of a war death sentence onto adam they commit the box as well barrels chucked out adam below thousand five voted hit points a flash forward that's a gold card canon bronze doing a lot of work but that's the stun the route until is saying that's down all of a sudden vco can't join the free of the teleport he's jumped into the back line nisky trying to find the wild cards misfits have bought themselves a small lifeline baron empowered members of fnatic can threaten the elder and misfits are inside the pit upset he's got himself the white and the purple guns teleporters he finds the barrels he finds that means there's no smite for the elder but adam rejoins the fight with full hp he managed to reach in underneath the tower and he picks up the kill onto russo neither jungler for either team but misfits are getting ruined and wrecked and destroyed by upsets of filials vitio is the lost man standing and fnatic can turn their attention to the elder drake they're not doing that just yet they're trying to make sure that the pit is clear there's no feast just yet for adam either and vito he might try and kill lobster opposition moments longer looking for the auto attacks not gonna knock you out they finally do upset secures the ace all of a sudden nisky turns his attention on the inhibitors pushing forward as baron empowered minions 20 seconds on resort and vanda nisky may be able to just finish this one out three minions in front of him throwing out the cards fnatic may have just eliminated misfits the minions push their way forward and after a five-game series fanatic end misfits 2021 season fanatic advance to face g2 oh my word and the word it was paved out in that last fight with whipple going down fnatic rejoining it and then nisky in this entire series to me has actually been doing a phenomenal job fantastic performance in the end of the day for fnatic [Music] wow a lot can be said about this series and a very interesting game five that eliminates misfits they force rove to five they force fnatic to five in the misfits journey the commitment to the same five players from spring to summer it ends today they're definitely not a best of one team because they are taking it to that game five every time but fnatic this time around so decisive when they're going for that productivity and it's working out for them an insanely scary team and if they know how to tread that fine line they're looking really good fnatic show in game five they can contain themselves they can show patience and diligence but also you see in the fanatic style their willingness to fight and dive it both is beneficial and detrimental treats for saying that on the endless desk all day long yeah but i mean they also apparently have the ability to completely slow down the game i think this game five was a very good example of that when both teams no immediate engage team comes that has to come down from the pick or the immediate fight and i actually think having that frontliner in that choke up without him was a big difference maker it really was it allowed nisky all the time in the world to make plays if you want to vote for your kia player of the series at lec on twitter adam upset and hilly are your nominees and it is going to be a very difficult vote and it was a very difficult day fnatic truly had to fight hard to pick up that series away yeah they definitely has nothing of this came easy and it's making me more excited for the matchup against g2 as well with matic it's coming it's coming back together trevor and what that means is only one of fnatic or g2 will advance to the world championship to represent europe it'll be very interesting to see who shows up on the day because we've seen very exploitable flaws from both fnatic and from g2 so that will be on sunday i think let's spread just another moment talk about misfits i think big surprises continually stepping up to the opponents in front of them and for 2021 while just put disappointing ends that can hang their heads high they definitely can because not only did they show that they have the strong move you want they also have the stronger adaptability but with that we are heading to a break so be sure to stay tuned for an interview with adam and pgl with yamato and nisky as we go let's also get a preview of tomorrow's series between rogue and mad lions wow it's been a long day thank you so much for watching don't go anywhere interviews in pgl we'll be right back dying dude [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] even though league of legends is not a physical sport there's the same eagerness and nerves before every single esports match than i had the same in swimming this was always about getting closer to a new high that you can reach an endless pursuit of perfection even though i've come so close i don't feel bad about it if i work harder it is going to happen kia movement that inspires [Music] [Music] you know [Music] do [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] um [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] no matter how much [Music] [Music] let me take this [Music] is [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] will fall and when we [Music] for him [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] welcome back to the lacy fnatic take down misfits in an epic fight in the lower bracket and adam you've been playing for six hours now yeah first impression on this series actually it was pretty exhausting would say it was pretty exhausting i would say uh if i wanted to sleep when actually we posed on game four um in game three i wanted to our team to sleep actually like but now i mean it's over so i'm really glad i just wanna go home now and sleep i i can imagine and relieved also because for the second time uh in two weeks you faced elimination here if the road stopped here you would be out how did you feel this week compared to the match against vitality um i was a bit afraid i would say because misfits is a better team than vitality of course and i will and my mindset was that if we were not improving this week before or before facing misfits i think that we would lose because misfits would punish our mistakes even more than vitality did and i mean i'm glad that we just came in the bo and we just uh how to say we didn't do as much mistakes as we did against vitality and i think that it helped us a lot because i was actually scared because i think my mindset before game one at least is i thought that we were going to lose anyways before the before the the best stuff even starts uh i was a bit scared to be honest yeah and first time i have this impression that uh doesn't matter maybe we will lose actually but uh i was forcing myself to maybe not believe in it even though i was believing still but uh i'm glad we still won what gave you this impression though because i don't often hear players say hey i thought i would lose before the series i think that uh because of the past lose streak that we had okay i think uh as a team we kind of lost our identity i would say and we were struggling so hard to find back our identity and strangely the the gameplay that we had today um we didn't even practice it on screen uh i think that we naturally found back our identity as a team and uh it feels really good now to play actually yeah it was very good i can't imagine and do you think playing on stage had an impact because obviously you were playing under difficult circumstances last week being in quarantine also but i mean you've been used to that playing with k-corps so yeah playing on stage today how was it um well we already played on singer against vitality but even again the best off against vitality like to be honest if we played at our peak level i think we would have actually three three zero vitality um but i was scared as i said because like uh before going to the best of adidas i didn't expect us to have the level to beat misfits at least if they were playing as good as they were in during the split um but somehow we managed to improve uh thanks to the stagewf i think so a lot a lot more pressure i would say and maybe that made us more focused and more realized like what's the what is really going to happen after yeah after we win there will be g2 and then wards so i think it made us realize that uh how important it was to to how to say to be the team that we used to be and i think that everyone can be pretty happy about our performance today how about you adam because you had a difficult week last week against vitality in the series today it felt like it went up and up and up throughout the games to finish on this amazing performance on show gap where you were actually the clutch player which leads you to be the kia player of the series today so explain to me the differences between last week and the impact you had on your team because you're the least experienced player after all and you had a lot of responsibilities i feel today i mean like to start where the season began uh basically i was uh i mean everyone knows that i was being uh not on an island but i was being weak side most of the time of course and um somehow i was managing to create an advantage tp bots help my team somehow and that they did lead us where we are now and um i feel like when we after the i think it was after the loss against mad lions and during the last week we we played for top side and it didn't work at all because we lost and we got uh pretty smashed so after that we decided that we should be actually only play for bot side because playing for top side doesn't work and after that i was the the gameplay that we how to say the gameplay that we the that we created i would say uh is i'm not i'm not weak side i'm being left uh berlin in an island as we could see there uh in the best of against vitality i was only three every game typically and um it was something that i could um how to feel again during scrims and uh that's that's why i was uh afraid to lose today because we didn't practice the gameplay that we had and maybe i was so scared to lose that i entered the bus stop with so much confidence that i was maybe a new player that i was like i wasn't the adam from the vitality best of um and now maybe it's a common mindset a global mindset in the team i think everyone wanted to win so badly and we managed to and that's what matters the most in the end it comes to who wants it the most in a way and you mentioned it previously the next step is going to be g2 for a spot at walt i love the drama i love the fact that the last part of the world is going to be decided between you and g2 fnatic and i feel like this is what fans wanted to see but you had to prepare for two best of fives in one week you know you knew you would have to face g2 at the end of the week so tell me about this opponent from what you've seen from them last week when you face wonder when you face this team how is it gonna go in the best of fives because that's usually when g2 rises up um to be honest i didn't watch the mad lanes against youtube okay okay so that i don't care but i was preferring playing solo queue um but i think that uh if we manage to improve i mean at not improv but at least to keep the performance that we had today um i think that we might be able to beat g2 at least i think that if everyone feels confident at least like today i was even though i was afraid i was feeling super confident like i was even surprised of myself and how confident i was feeling and i think that if everyone goes in the into the best of g2 in this in the same manner that i have today i don't think that we can lose actually and uh i think that we are better as a team and uh i'm really happy to play with mates because they are so kind i'm really glad uh to be part of this team and uh yeah i can't wait but i think that we can win i can imagine and we all can't wait about this i don't thank you so much for the interview for dimash and we're gonna take one last break now and we'll be back in a couple minutes for pgl and i'll see you tomorrow for the second series stay tuned [Music] [Music] [Music] you
