FNC vs. PSG | Worlds Group Stage Day 6 | Fnatic vs. PSG Talon (2021)

[Music] welcome back to worlds 2021 i am still freak that is lyric and we have two games left to play today our first one up is fnatic vs psg talon a battle for pride and a battle for third place in the group the game after that one is the tiebreaker for first between a royal never give up and han wildlife esports stick around for both of those lyric though we have to take care of business sadly these are gonna be the last games we see from these two teams there are no tiebreakers played in a tie for third if fnatic win it's two and four you officially tie for third for the group stage and that is the end if psja talent win it is sadly yet another three and three exit for maple at worlds yeah i think it's quite disappointing for psg where they could have broken a long trend of again before the lms now the pcs not making it two quarter finals it hasn't been since 2015 when both flash wolves and hq made it out and yup freak we all know you're dying to talk a little bit more about fanatic like you said earlier look the stories have to be said so yeah you mentioned it with maple this is his sixth world championship only once did he make it out of the group stage there's the auto season 2013 that's not making out of groups that's a seed he has made it out of groups sadly only once this is going to be his next failure sadly on the daca msi has gone bad over him for fnatic in their 11th international appearance sadly the second time ever first time in seven years that they have fallen in the group stage it is not what they wanted i know upset being uh out of the picture obviously hurts them but listen as someone who watched under thieves play yesterday there is a little bit of solace you get for ending your week two and one for at least punching up taking down rng taking down psg and saying you know on a different day this could have been just that a little bit better right a little bit better on day one in week one and it could have been a different story and know that you were close it feels better than getting blown out so yeah i know the players will hold their heads up high it will give some solace to the fans and they're gonna push for that win it definitely goes to show of like hey you know how do we maybe prepare differently or come into this day better we could have done it which is always nice to see and we're seeing very serious straps you know no team saying hey even though we're eliminated we're going to take it a bit looser with jarvan mf on one side the combo the cataclysm into the bullet time we're on the other side we just keep seeing it for they love this viego pic and i mean it just pops off and skirmishes you get these souls and you keep going and fort fanatic overall hilly once again going towards his patented recon so fnatic keeping it on comfort this is fun i mean they love the pick i love the pick whipple's vigo is great so that'll be fun to watch for uh obviously the side psu talent hoping to make that three and three run again that also gives them that same solace of like well you know we went equal in the group just really unlucky that you know the games went the way they did uh and and sadly three and three is not enough to get out trust me i felt that one a lot going three and three and not getting out of the group uh we'll see which one can pull up the win here in this game nautilus locked in onto the second phase of bands yeah i'm curious to see where psg are gonna go towards the top lane you do expect that hanabi will be laning up against the graves and i've been talking to a lot of teams about their opinions on graves and a lot of them just think it's it's too strong it doesn't really have any bad matchups you can play it as a weak side champion that can absorb pressure because you can run fleet footwork you have your e to escape or you can just set up waves and look for dives so i wonder if they will go for maybe more of a weak side top laner like something like a tank themselves because the nice thing i like about tanks up against things that don't really have strong lane fighter counters is you can always just buy bramble and plated steel caps and your champion can pretty much play against anything that's fun it's always good to play that safe side and then just win somewhere else as we get the ezreal gone the kennen is off indeed uh gray's always can go mid we don't i don't think we've seen it a single time at worlds but gracehood is i think actually quite viable um you often hurt for match damage if that's the case obviously vega is already locked in no one really plays ziggs right now although he's also viable kais off the table uh as we uh saw the ezreal already gone earlier yeah the nice thing is you know they didn't hover the zigs earlier they did show that something like that is possible yeah so it is always there and now i want to say okay so they do ban away the gwen so two champions that would give their composition nice magic damage and overall this is a conversation a lot of us uh casters have been having the past two days about kennen in general about how strong he has looked and it seems like gwen must be making a reappearance in scrims with how much we are seeing her but psg are just keeping it stock and standard and going towards the jace for themselves a lot of it seems to be just wanting meta damage in the comp obviously a.d junglers with most common uh you know ripped for for a rogue the fiddlesticks has looked pretty good but there aren't a ton of mage junglers right now that are getting commonly played uh and and a lot of mid laners aren't high damage obviously ttf is banned certainly rises out there as well but uh we're just kind of not seeing unless you're trophy uh uh a ton of damage to the mid i like this zaya rakan is in uh or will note by the way because uh zaira can obviously a well-known duo um the like win rate gain on being paired actually not that high anymore this energy uh like buffs got nerfed so heavily that they're not even each other's best duo anymore that honestly just sounds so strange but i mean we're gonna see if bean and hilly can make it work it is cool seeing uh these come out for the first time as nisky takes away the zoe for himself they were hovering the south squad they didn't go that one because zoe would have been a really nice answer and for the side of psg you're playing a lot with range right now if they do opt in to go in the orianna they do have a lot of ball delivery set up in their composition but i like the idea of playing with more range you have the bullet time you have to make it rain you have the accelerated shot glass i think just lock in the syndra it is a bit of a skill match up that i'd say in the past is always favored syndra just a little bit very easy to try to look for those scout of the weeks when zoe goes through the portal jump but syndra's also taking a lot of hits over i just say over the years in general it looks like she's six and one at worlds 86 win rate that's probably a seven game sample six and one what else is top line from xiaohu but it still counts maple gonna pile this champion here up against nisky's zoe a battle for pride and the battle for third place psu town obviously hard claim it if they go three and three fnatic will tie for a third if they can claim this one and that's just gonna be a tie for third to end the group which will salvage some pickums since either uh either will get full points that have saved me in pickups before uh in other years of worlds this time around though i am not close to accurate in any of my groups somehow in group a i got a ton of points because i messed up by pickups freak so thank god for that one but that's good we're gonna be looking at the drafts and the thing i'm most interested in is seeing the mid jungle 2v2s right when you have something like syndra coming out onto the rift especially when paired with the jarvan you just have so much kill pressure coming through whether it's fighting a nice scout of the week to set up for the eq combo to land or vice versa even on the opposite side i mean one of zoe's big strengths right is getting into those early river skirmishes where summoners are blown and then you just gain so much power through your w so i definitely expect both teams to play a lot of attention to mid lane and i mean historically we know both teams have always loved to do so yes i mean maple the team comes to him uh is how the data works out like his uh jungle sorry his support mid duo proximity is very very high his lane percent is also very very high just coming shows up and they're like i'm in mid bud what what do we got are we killing a zoe great let's do it that's that's the play style here for psja talon nisky obviously again a focal point here as well but he is a man who gets to his teammates adam's gonna come down to level three exactly nisk is going down a bot lane at level four they're moving around the map speaking of moving around the map we have bean up towards the top lane right now trying to catch hanabi off honey guard believe will not spot anyone adam turns the corner now they know okay i'm gonna 1v2 got it okay information gathered if you want to overload bot side you can do it you're in a guaranteed 4v3 oh so it looks like what they were trying to do was bait them into pushing ps yeah push them on the bot side because that's freaking what happens right when when you go for the top play and you like to be catching the brush do we get a top laner it's like okay well we run down to grab raptors i feel like the biggest tell to me there though would be the fact that it's only 80 carrying top showing right no other real like cc or lockdown members rook on supposed to lead when that happens so it's like yeah it's like huh and it's good in intuition right because obviously no one else was seen like oh there's always a chance they like maybe went bottom side through try like towards red like it's a possibility yeah but good read no deep ward okay fine a defensive board comes down in the top side river brush for psg talon river takes the recall gets his sweeper and he's going to be soloing red buff so information will not be given fnatic do not get a single deep board and they will not know where the jarvan started make sure to see what river will do he's obviously passing towards the bottom side right now curious if he would want to look for some type of early gank on either soul lane i do believe graves is quite well in this matchup you obviously have the smoke screen which works quite well when you are facing another champion who can rely on auto attacks in these short trades jay's definitely a lot more of kind of play it back you can look for the poke though adam of course running the flower whole work is written they don't know where he is they don't know which side he went nisky is intuitively guessing to play bottom side maple has a stun though is it gonna force the flash flag and drag he is gonna be forced to flash away nisky now going to be down to summit for this laning phase like you said it was almost pretty nice right nisky intuitively playing towards that bottom side still scout of the week by maple able to land secure that flash coming out river not really having enough time i think to look for any type of reactive flash probably wouldn't be able to secure the kill regardless but now maple can have a ton of pressure in this mid lane as we do see here and they'll be able to pretty much consistently have river hover towards the mid lane unlock maple and start roaming down but as he already pointed out maple doesn't leave lane all too much so i think it's a lot more likely for river to just look for a repeat gank and try to find some type of kill in the mid lane well they want to point out by the way um i want to be there first before people really you know it's like with vedius with his knock turn and if he was right that lane nocturne is just like busted and that's why he's even diamond two because he played an overpowered champion shout out vedius um i also play nocturne i don't see what it's like it's a great champ but um the real tech for zaya is actually halo blades that is actually the zayatech and one day we'll see it because things with lethal tempo you like throw cues out and then you just like it's on cooldown for any fight ever possible because it's like it procs you hit some minions who cares but if you got halo blades in any fight you are guaranteed a root with just w auto auto auto it's so free and you win every short trade really reliably and it makes her actually very very good in lane you know my biggest takeaway other than following the fact that we're gonna we're gonna see if this becomes better freak is the fact that you are just absolutely ruthless today as whitbows trying to be ruthless as well yeah whippo finds uh i mean they're gonna get oh that stun is huge that stunt is so big and river is here out of it into the mid lane instead what the flash adam is there to save the man's life though and no kill on the board yeah just amazing scout of the week coming out from maple to set all of that up sadly adam is another jungler on the side of fanatic so he does consistently look for these realms and plays down towards the mid lane yeah still though i mean the fact that maple's able to get away scott frame potentially even set up that play gonna get more damage here as well okay it was gonna go ahead and find the first little bit on unified as coming takes a bit of damage but goes right back in helpful your health bar is low but they know the e is uncool that nisky thankfully has a stolen flash to stay alive i mean psg just being ruthless with targeting this lane over and over again a lot of pressure come in on this ski so maple has been able to build himself up a bit of a cs lead as we do c has opted into the tier as well so should have a pretty easy lane with the amount of resources he's getting to stack that one up the damage coming out from zyracon and bottom lane a bit surprising haven't seen this duo all too much lately but still psg able to turn it around they did have to get a bit of an awkward recall i don't i don't think they did get the wave into turret but looks like psg now want to pivot up towards top side at least they got the noon quiver though like that's really important to hit that that break point on the recall that you know you're under five minutes in and because you had a long sword start you're able to get a really early noon quiver that is such an important power spike it matters so much uh for last hitting but oh adam adam you have a flash but it will not matter first blood in for hanabi i mean he didn't get a chance right kai wing was just so decisive with that one flash immediately into the hook chained right into the eq combo coming out from river now we're gonna see hanabi be able to push this wave in no tp up for adam so he is gonna lose out just in general on gold and exp and set hanabi up in a good spot here we go watch it again kai wing taught everything he knows by lyric himself quote me on that one flash auto oh actually flash q no way out yeah how's the aftershock i mean i guess that doesn't even really matter right he's just instantly dead we even see the ignite going down just to make sure where they didn't really need it but yeah i mean unified and kai wing having been around for such a long time as get a bit of verizon 5g all chat freak yes and i agree thank you one i'm hoping for banger as well bangers are fun to cast honestly you know the the brits have it right you know give me some of that give me some mash good games and i think the fact that both of these teams have shown they're willing to be scrappy they're willing to be brawley it's like a ufc fight you walk them in the octagon they're going to go it's super cool have not seen that yet thus far but yeah they are one to go for it but yeah unified kai we've been around for such a long time i remember working with these guys for a brief period back in the day when i was coaching in the lms kai wing always a bit of a leader always a bit of a shock caller unified on the opposite side uh i was around him maybe for like six months i think i heard him talk once not a very talkative guy at all very much just plays league of legends fair enough at least pretty good on it yeah it works i mean you know been on top of the region for quite a long time now so yeah and re-titled you got kyling to talk for you that's all you need that's true you know 80 carries uh you can just shut up and last hit minions that flag is well signed we're going to spot the fact that whippo's up a level and going for his red buff smite available for both vision can be claimed though and this could be a real fight naples on the way level six hitler song nearby stunned not gonna land here comes the anchor here comes the flash flame by blippo the maple finds the kill in the hillsong sleep coming in he's not enough damage river only partially oh no you are getting thinned out he thought he'd be able to find the the damage to be able to get the soul and keep going in the fight but not sure if that was the right call coming out from whippo overall psg just having numbers advantage he think he might have not he might have not had vision on the fact that river blocked it but now this makes sense because zoe would have art over so oh [Music] solo killing each other that was raleigh hey hey it goes back to the analogy i made about the ufc earlier it pretty much works out perfectly yeah these guys being locked in the cage being extremely crappy and yeah i mean psg so far coming out ahead about a 1k gold lead is we go back into the replay look at the mini map so far both adam and nisky not here surprise fanatic would have to go for this very easy for hanabi and maple to both wrap around despite being pushed in we see the cue hit like oh he blast planted in the blast plant missed he went into the pit so he's like i can ult out maybe but he just ulted in to try to find a kill yeah i don't know if he actually meant to go when he's like yeah he's always gonna hit we're gonna do it like that could have been the play obviously goodbye river to tank the the paddle star big damage loss because he tanked it i i can see going either way right because it was reliable to be like oh yeah hiskey hits because he's sleeping we go for the kill and other members there you can look for the turn yeah i i can i can see how you could potentially justify it but in the end psg pick up the kills now we're gonna see them start making the roam towards top side hilly's still on the bot lane so i don't expect fnatic to look for a contest but i feel like if fnatic aren't going to test right you have to send whippo down towards bottom lane now try and force unified off of turret start taking away some of these bot side jungle camps and look for the cross map gold trade i'm looking for now one plate about to be down i believe there's just a shy of that little plate and then bullet time not the absolute best and unified indeed has to walk away football's there for the 3v1 this will be plate 2 just barely taken no not even the waves too shy river is able to take top lane harold or top 12 hero's always top side uh but you know as this wave is getting taken away proxied they do need to be careful though because maples tp actually just came back up so fnatic over aggress once again psg can find a fight with numbers advantage so they went for the play on bot side right they went for a kill they didn't find it hillasang wants in they're going to open the slow that means the knockout could land but hold on sindra zin hilasong dangerously low but enough mr to survive second bit of damage comes across though will they find the kill no rivers got a tank at all so no kill to be found in fnatic in their attempt to cross map they get half a plate they deny a wave and they get nothing else yeah sadly not able to get anything i mean unified respected there like you said ultimate was able to get some of the minions down starts backing off and ps2 with a really fast rotation down back towards that bottom side maple also crucially recalled at a very impactful timing to where as fanatic can't exactly know where he is fnatic now still going to be able to give this dragon on the bottom half of the map psg hovering up towards top allowing for hanabi to get all these plates they also do have the rift herald in their inventory and psg know that fnatic are going to be looking for the response that's why maple is stacking up these orbs and looking to fight this fnatic might not know he's here as river looks to play the hillside for the knockout instead will be that himself down to 300 nearly dies as adam fires out but doesn't find that kill either stunned mabel not quite going to go for the ulti it's on cooldown the long-range anchor lands a heal is not going to be enough one for nothing so far kyogen gonna take a quick nap will it be a dirt nap whiskey wants to get around but can't find his way across hilasang tries to find one as well nice shot on a hanubi but ultimately the toppling turret dies all five plates taken and first turret goes to psg town three thousand gold lead psja is doing a really nice job so far it all started where we expected right cementing their lead through their mid jungle 2v2 and ever since then it's been about bringing river and maple up towards that top side and really just impacting this this top lane matchup which you're playing two i'd say more volatile champions jay stepley uh graves as well has been able to find his mythic actually both now with the back coming out from hanabi so still top side skirmishing looks like the name of the game for both teams i don't think that surprises anyone right we've been seeing 80 carries left alone on an island all tournament long and just looking to stack up their farm as we go straight into the replay psg doing a nice job they tempo advantage from the play on bot side that fnatic really overstayed for maple already here stacking up all these orbs hits the scout of the league didn't look like they expected to be able to have enough damage with maple not having ultimate but after the accelerated shot class the nautilus queue they are able to guarantee that killing adam and now we're back in the map and we're looking for that to find themselves the comeback or psg talent to just close it out as they've got control pretty much everywhere the only one who's going to be down in gold realistically is unified you know not a lot of gold not a lot to say and that's all right the rest of team is doing pretty nice and that means they can win with the four is unified just going to hold the line on mf part of the reason you pick her right you can leave her alone you sometimes hold a wave to make sure you don't lose plates like that's obviously a strength uh we know we saw a lot of ziggs at the end of this split because he wanted something that could be left alone and just okay they're going to overload lane ah we just hold the wave was no problem but now fnatic are gonna find that kill oughta be gonna flash back to his team be careful though you're still in a 1v3 to the skies and to the ground wifo claims his first kill of the game really strange coming out for penabi because both teams were cross mapping ryan both teams had vision of the other team going for the cross map taking away each other's raptors hanabi just poking his head in maybe seeing if you try to steal away their red buff or just get a bit of damage down while while he's hovering under inner turret does walk too far forward even expends the flash to try to get away isn't able to in the end and looks like it should just be a bit of a trade some plates on both unified and adam yep oh tp coming out though and they land a stun in time yes they will but there's reinforcements will it be in time they want to be just barely staying alive but not for long nisky gets one and niski's gonna get two fnatic we're there for the 4v2 and they get both kills really nice read coming out from fnatic is unified i think just trying to force being off being should be able to get so oh nisty wing not quite gonna take the dirt now and yeah able to walk out unified i don't believe can oh okay now beans got to be careful bean is very nearly in lethal range yes old he has heal he has flash that's true but yeah the truth this low like he's gonna walk up on you and attack the turret and then just take the fight and you just can't really doing about that one keep in mind mythic difference is in uh kraken slayer versus the boots one yeah that is gonna be a diff and it means unified looking pretty good down there being just playing very very much on the weak side yeah it's price doesn't go for the recall right now but even going back further i think the hanabi tp was oh okay we're going to stop talking with the knobby db it looks like bean might be in for a bad time still has all the same tools that we talked about heal alton flashback oh no no you can't recall here you can't recall you have no vision river eq yeah okay he has all and river's unwilling to go for the ulti i mean he would alt and then bean would just flash and he wouldn't get any damage so i understand it but you can just walk back out give it a vision that he's not getting supported yeah you still could potentially follow up then with your own flashlight for the kill would be completely meaningless though so glad he didn't but this was a bit surprising coming out from hanabi sure you do have double tp coming in but again you were just cross mapping you still don't see them on the bottom side of the map where you have your vision completely littered so you know that they still should be up around that side doesn't matter if you bring maple in as well you will be outnumbered and they just get taken down so psg giving some opportunities over to fnatic to get back into the game true and i mean i think maple slash is pretty silly as well you're flashing over the champions in a 1v4 like they're still in range of you bud so some mistakes uh unfortunate but it is still ps2 talent up 18 are gold medic closing the gap somewhat up a dragon next one spawning in about seven seconds adam is top lane he has teleport and how to be not having one has to choose do i help top lane turret or do i play for dragon maybe they get anyway river gonna start this dragon on spawn uh river looks like he's questioning it i like that fnatic making their way towards tom's side because again when we get into the question of like mid contest and going into river the side of psg's cop has more long range tools available with things like the make it rain the jace and especially the scout of the week i feel like syndra is so good when you're looking to contest over midway for who can walk into river first fnatic don't want to walk into their bottom side of the map with the fact they already have adam top and again we're just getting this consistent cross map and trade of objectives which is keeping the gold lead relatively close and even as we get further on in the game i don't feel like scaling is heavily like outweighs one side or the other both definitely have tools is psg trying to play lipo is going to get spotted there we go just stand in the brush he's going to hold back to safety but nearly kills comedy of errors a little bit in this game yeah tywin yeah just for the auto get the passive root chain that into your hook uh that's not what we saw i mean he pressed q before he saw him so it was already too late by the time he was in vision but i mean obviously yes it's a mistake okay move on a little bit here looking now at a bit of bot side pressure they know what this song is he's going to land this anchor now the roots there as well good damage half hp his fortune nearly finds the kill but has to go to sleep first now we've got the rest of it adam nowhere to go but the try brush and die into the one before it tries to tpin to save hilly you would have been able to get away anyway sleep though sticky lips though flag and drag away it's not a follow through of whippo not in range no ulti it doesn't really matter anymore nisky gonna keep trying good damage on a maple miniski really trying his best to keep the team alive wippo yeah gets a stab but not much more i mean especially in this position right here is where zoe drives right you have such like a big like terrain to use to find those massive bubbles chain them into the battle star but still so they're not able to do it they will be able to break open a turret so gold once again getting a little bit closer we're nowhere close to another dragon spawning still a few minutes away from a baron i thought the question on my side is if psg are gonna going to aggressively look for picks because again they're the ones coming off resets they will have tempo coming off onto the map look to push waves out you'd probably expect them to start walking down in towards that bottom side jungle because that's where the wave is trying to use scout of the week catch someone off guard scene just gonna go ahead and collect waves the mid lane keeping up and farm keeping his gold up but we can watch this axe effect replay again in the bot lane works pretty well for psu talent yeah find the hook on the hilly he has to instantly run away i mean for adam he thought he was keeping in to cover his teammates potentially they could take the fight bean was making his way down but sadly left in the middle of all the other members of psg who do not only have great burst but also a ton of lockdown so the secondary teepees in he is just instantly gone yeah that was a good play by river to make sure his body was over the top of the teleport as he showed up it was no chance for adam to take counter play uh stun was then layered by maple really well so you know execution was was mint from psg talon but obviously again a mistake of a teleport and it means the gold lead remains over 2 000. he is talen's favor afraid of getting ganked i'm gonna have to burn the teleport that'll be down yet again for the next dragon yeah for psg they're opting into the play that we were just sitting on of looking towards the spot half of the map and playing around the syndra to look for pigs they don't have all to have aggressive vision coming out yet but the fact that baron is coming up before dragon maybe for psg now you hover both mid and jungle towards the mid lane and look to try and push your way in brute force into that top 10 get some of your own vision down worth noting though that we are going for i believe a wits end out of whippo here with the no magic mantle in the dagger uh he is itemide specifically for maple trying to one-shot him if that doesn't happen then he's going to be fine able to go for the resets just find it kind of interesting he's going for this build here and not the very standard sterics gauge for so many of these melee bruisers mid lane turret going to fall though goldie going to grow for ps2 talon top lane though pushed in and adam will deny a wave and maybe even two as now honeybees now on the way over can claim the dregs of that one and the rest of the other so i will keep up there muramana all the way transformed and collector just now completely unified yeah big item power strikes coming out on both sides same for adam being on two and a half items now no one else really even close maybe fanatic should be sitting on some standing gold does nisky oh it's a nice bit of damage down on to maple gonna once again make their way up towards that top side dragon will be up in 40 seconds neither team really having vision control down there just yet but psg being that wants to come back off on the map only one control award in inventory so it would have been nice to see a little bit more sure but not gonna happen here and it's gonna be walking out a teleport in a mid lane for tempo maples you know what i'm not going for anything else for a while so let's just make sure i'm in the mid lane let's make sure we actually completely own this wave fight for the next one and then walk the dragon right as it spawns is probably the play neither team though has work patrol over the bot river right now uh three awards in inventory for kai wing but sitting in mid right now uh not again lighting up this bottom side a similar uh situation here for fnatic finally the words are coming down this is what we're hitting on earlier about how psg's comp works in these situations right accelerate shock blast hill the song wow honey just barely flashing all the way over it in the pic not going to be found with that gone it seems very likely fnatic will not find their way into this fight they can maybe put a credible threat towards baron but that's not really going to happen there is words come down and one of the world's gonna spot actually a walk with baron actually gets replaced as a result not gonna matter though flag gets division okay no one's going for the steal second dragon goes to psg talon they are 10 minutes away from the cloud soul and they are not cross mapped no we see right there right fanatics really only only real opening if i can say my words you're fine try and find some kind of bubble if hilly can get someone who's stepping you can look for the engage but you don't have too many engage tools you don't have anyone who could just blindly walk into areas where psg control because you don't have a frontliner and we saw there accelerated shock blast uh the scout of the week the threats of the bullet time psg just have so much poke that it feels like they have more engaged in you they've more of a front line and are also putting out more poke so for fnatic it's really about trying to control vision where psg aren't and finding picks well i'm going to try the midline nearly actually hit on a unified wouldn't have killed because it wasn't the bubble that was just a paddle star and maple grabbing the blue buff though and adam collecting a wave in the bottom lane 2.2 000 remains the gold difference i believe and i got the first dragon of the game uh which means psg have gotten too straight uh actually i'm very confident that's true because dragon was traded for second rift herald and that was the pacing of this one so psg though the gold has flattened they have been still getting neutrals to their side uh turret score is still three to two not a huge difference there and we are playing a fairly slow one waiting to see then as we crest towards the late game who's gonna make the big play now fnatic now just overloading bottom side of the map they have five members down there first so they're going to be able to control vision seems like both teams kind of comfortable playing the stack the dragon game i still think psg are the team who should be playing more proactively and trying to push into enemy jungle get their own vision down look for these picks oh billy though oh he's recon he's completely fine yeah he's got a teammate okay there's a root but the dash is back but now river is in and hillasang just gets w back ignite is on but river flash q with his namesake and he knocks down illusion i mean fanatic thought hey this is recon he's fine going in looking for this vision alone looked like he was at first but people they know they know they saw him go through a war do they find the second knock up there's nowhere to go old flash mikey to the safety there's the flash there's the alt the lance is going to miss and he will survive yeah psg though oh the prediction the hook before the flash do they have the damage you're down right they do there's one and there's two summoners yeah this is a baron angle for psg adam was on the opposite side of the map split pushing that whole time we were talking about psg should be the ones to be the aggressors but this whole sequence started off with fnatic being the ones to walk into psg's top side jungle now psg gonna be able to pivot towards the baron i expect fnatic to look for a contest even though they realistically shouldn't but there's really no trade angle on the map either no halo's not going to be zoned out even if you wanted to try it's not going to happen baron has been claimed hold on there's a fight to be had this is not a fight fnatic could win it's 3v5 how would you ever get anything out of this one hillsong dives in and now it's time to start dying oh adam he came so close he got so far he tried so hard but in the end one in five and it just does not matter look freak you could see that that wasn't gonna be a winning fight for the side of fnatic but we've award for that in the lpl that's called mojo adam had a lot of mojo in that moment went in thought he could do it could make the hero play can go for the hail mary uh didn't work out but again in the lpl we have respect for plays like that yeah it was sadly a bit reckless even without him on the roster now whip without wants that i made i like that they are trying can it be stunned no he used the minion successfully puts the ulti in and whippo is he gonna make it happen they get one and now he is the syndra but he is squishy olson runs away tries to stay alive his minions shoot him and if the other teammate dies two for one so far and river eq's back up soon and he's got a dunk but cloud ripped means a lot of movement it means whippo is safe i'm still just too caught up in the reckless comment all of that really cool nice to see you throw that one in psg they have there and they're going to be able to force their way in to bottom side jungle they have a siege comp they have so much range they can just look to force fnatic off and keep going they even have tools to engage if a member fnatic oversteps or if they had a bigger wave could we potentially look for something that could dive not the situation here dragons up in 36 seconds so psg gonna be playing towards that one can't even look to like hide in in a brush right now look for one of those plays because they've complete wards in phonetics bottom side jungle it depends how aggressive fanatic wants to play is gonna save breakfast it's not worth it um let's move on to a different term uh ultimately they are not playing too aggressively pse town are holding the brush but like oh they're going mid okay uh assuming they were gonna kind of trade for uh bottom river control but now this means that a river are behind them bullet time a knock up and oh it's almost beautiful health bars are low but only for a one for one nisky drops though unified trades it it's now a three v three points fight hanabi can't make it happen but adam gets one as well despite the deficit fanatic make the fight close only down one in that battle still psg almost found the big combo they were just off sync a little bit with the way uh the bullet time was facing right had it been slightly to the right all the members of fnatic would have been gone so i like the idea coming out from psg it was a bit of a oh no shot in the dark oh no i love sad b sad b is maybe the single best emote i know top laners use camp nah that's not the meta that's that's so overused and i like that honeybee his former team teammates with maple on flashflows back when has that for the ace and now should be able to head to dragon get that one scott free i mean they have gotten almost 3k with this baron but still for psg think it would have been nice look at a little bit more did get a little bit scrappy as we go straight into the replay again really cool idea coming out from them they know they're pivoting down fnatic doing a nice job not to walk through the jungle old kids but all the members of fnatic are able to get forward still the old does get a little bit more damage onto bean and wimbo could have been really nice as freak we got another one we got some fights we're ending this one with a bang as river wants in puts the dunk on in b is ultilis and flashes of safety though damage in for kai wing trying to take the 1v1 and nautilus is successful two and three kills picked up now nisky and adam are on the way out and there's not a lot left to do here psg they claim their third dragon and they're looking for fnatic space that's the thing right psg have the waves set up to even look for the pushes to be able to take inhibitors not sure if they go for the end 20 second death timers i think fnatic should be in time to respond but at least psg have waves set up to be able to take some structures big wave on top side as we are seeing now and it looks like hanabi and river will be able to get this bottom lane turret still though with how much action this game has had in the past few minutes yeah it's kind of surprising that of how steady it still feels i don't know like it still feels like both teams kind of playing out for the next dragon timers and things like this then randomly out of nowhere freak big action yeah here comes the tp play fnatic are trying their hardest to find a comeback playing absolutely all out but adam doesn't have crowd control that man is graves and that man's about to land in one as hanabi is godliness that was a rub okay river is taken for a while steroids pop he's got a syndra nearby goes for the dunk gets pushed back nisky gets a single kill but the support is dead now as well with bow trying his best cosplay to get a kill but won't have that one happen either turrets falling out of the map as you've just got unified pushing it down they can just buy time wipo and nisky niski anahanabee thousand gold shut down that is a very wide wippo but they are losing nexus turrets trying to get his damage he can dunk he's out on jace and there's the kill he's getting bigger and bigger but again the nexus turrets are still dying and they gotta get back there that was something i'm not quite sure what entertaining i was gonna say enter tayden you can understand the idea of what fnatic and animals going for that situation again it's when you are being forced in your base on multiple fronts you have to give up one side of the map and overload somewhere else so they go for this play on the bottom side you are hitting on it graves not the champion that's going to lock anyone down psg are also decently far ahead and knobby bursts him out immediately river keeps following up to go in and four ps oh my god there's more he's dead so listen if death is the best crowd control kills the second best because they stand still to kill you so he tried really hard look he's standing still he's sitting all his buttons i've pulled him in it's like he's blitzcrank it just ends with 400 gold being handed over i just can't freak that's that's the graves crowd control that's true that i'll give you that yeah he's got a collector um i got nothing i don't know i was trying to go somewhere but i'm on two hours sleep so i've got no connection i was gonna say the best thing this week guys is seeing how freak is with no sleep which is still trying to make puns and jokes and i'd say a solid 90 percent of them miss the mark which makes them even better which by the way but is my normal hit rate but 90 percent of them not landing is just like yeah that's just how it goes i was going to say msi you were pretty impressive well honeybee yep that hit rate's pretty high he's landed a lot of these ones 25 to 11 and kills dragon stolen a minute and a half whippo around out of the fog okay old follows knocked into the air this will be a kill syndra puts it in and onaby knocks it down the man just gets killed after kill psja talon ah they could go baron and they will yeah psg i guess uh not wanting to force this one too hard they do have supers going to the top lane look for them right now you can start pushing in this mid wave you don't even really need to reset off this so just start funneling down through mid look to go for the end but no they do want to go for resets and they actually do want to play for seoul a bit surprise oh well we are seeing that so much this game he found the best crowd control he upgraded 40 seconds still he's in the fountain the grave cc has arrived yeah this you know it's kind of sad that this game doesn't mean something because if the if the game played out like this and this was you know maybe decide or something that honestly would have actually been a banger it's like game one of a b05 this this is like the entire quarterfinal series oh in every every time downgraded back yeah we just downgraded again psg playing for this i don't psg can just push for the base they can yeah they don't need to play this out too methodically go for soul they have baron they have minions on top side damage on a river but he is tanky enough because the man actually built some durability okay hold on honeybee eleven and four but in a one versus three means he will in oh my gosh kills hillasong still goes down dragon will be claimed in time cloud soul in for psg talon their gold lead is still 11 000. you know it looks like they're going for the end finally but i don't care about damage or mac or anything like that the longer this goes the more it benefits fnatic just because of how much clown car nonsense keeps happening and psg going again uh-oh we've fleet he's trying to run oh the flash is in time to get away from cataclysm so they have no nexus turrets but they have a nexus and that means they have not trusted the game yet yes please i'm gonna say fnatic can pick up another win against sadly i'm not going to rehash what freak has been saying all day about that oh i think they uh haven't failed in groups uh before like okay we're gonna hold on for the fight we have to do we have to do the real the real casting when there's a battle now there's not okay there's no battle all right did you know fnatic have only failed in groups once before across worlds and msi across 11 showings this is their second sadly this is the second time they have failed in groups unfortunate 0-3 run in the first week and they were given hope when they won their very first game today but sadly could not string the wins together so we're gonna get a replay of something okay we're gonna get a replay of this kanabi making it around his actually does make a decent distance away he all things considered with flash had just so big at this point not quite sure how many items he's at he would expect probably five yep oh yes um we'll build one kills the man is big you know we've just had so many shenanigans it's been really hard to follow who has again especially when it feels like psg could have been making more aggressive moves for uh oh they're embracing it yeah quite a little bit looks like they are enjoying trying to find some kills onto fnatic stolo does give fnatic the chance only only 11k gold down yeah they're hoping that if you get enough kills the win counts as two and they can enter the tiebreaker you know go up to four wins if somehow it's like yeah 60 kills you unlock the double win bonus could be game time as well right maybe if you go up to like a 120 minute game it actually counts as two if you win the first hour and the second hour you know like there's a lot of ways to think about this one uh sadly none of them are in the rules so uh it won't matter now we're gonna see psg they do have two inhibitors down they could be looking to push top if they do want to take it more methodically get a third inhibitor down and then just look to use the fact that they have three and hips down with super minions to just siege at the nexus like you said freak they don't have nexus turrets they do still have a nexus but okay they're going to try he's going to get himself a nautilus coming first to stop watching whiffo oltzen just dies unified gets the final shot and it's going to change the fight before nisky's trying to get away unified puts him low dunk in forever heals up pretty aggressively as jace knocks down graves honeybee wants in and hanumi gets it double kill in for the chase open nexus and the game shall end psg talon will end worlds 2021 with three wins a third place finish in the group fnatic sadly only good for one and they're playing it as slow as possible the sixth man is in the mini wait for the nexus psu talent they want to take that hour-long win they want us to have time to remind everyone that there's an awesome tiebreaker for first place after this that's true life versus rng lck domination lpl failures or do rng find a way back that'll be fine at this point i'm not covering this on one life esports versus royal never give up is the next game today and the battle for the top spot out of the group congratulations on the three and three when sadly it is still only third place sadly for fnatic it is a one and five exit i am glad to see them at least fight and try in the last game but this year sadly they could not muster enough to get out of the group i think definitely today they looked better than they did in any game they did in the first week right obviously they picked the wins today so for fnatic it's just gonna always be a question of what if what if you you know had more time with being or been able to prepare differently or had you had upset but again in the end it's nice yamada walking over the smile looks like they understand hey with the circumstances we weren't expected to get out we did our best we're gonna get some experiences you can see smiles and laughter on the faces of several members of fnatic uh i know some eu players are not a fan of teams that smile and laugh when they get knocked out of groups at worlds um sadly that happened to him this world so odawamna sometimes you can be happy just by getting on stage and playing some games with some friends of yours the end of the day it is fnatic making the one and five exit the last hope of europe is mad lions the biggest hope of europe anyway they are the lec champions and we're gonna see them tomorrow it also goes to the fact that i think most pre-tournament tier lists your top five was dom juan fpx rng edg and mad lines like yeah whatever way to shake you out most people write dom juan f pixie g's your top and then like rng mad somewhere in there and a lot of those themes have not panned out uh to the misery of some sure and you know hopefully mad lions i do think that they're the team that i look at most who would be able to turn it around tomorrow so hopefully we get there he is adam joins in think about rookie split for adam honestly okay this game's kda was a little awkward but whippo roll swapped in the jungle adam steps in and it was an impressive team second place in the lec a last minute substitution i know hampered their shot at worlds i think with upset yes this team could have looked a little bit better not every game is perfect yes there are mistakes that you know it would happen regardless of lineup but they took a win at the very least and we will see them next year and and uh i mean i have seen a lot of of praise for being online again adam is a good player as well very good player one of my very favorite players in the world uh and and we'll see more than next year yeah and i mean especially for the bot lane you know highlighting bean and hilly being able to find 2v2 kills earlier in the day up against haunted life and this roster i think just has a ton of potential all around all five players yep and we'll see where they go in the future as uh maybe bean is you know find yourself at worlds on another team maybe against vatican quarterfinals who knows either way a win for psu talent means third place a three and three record and before we see that battle for the first seed out of this group we're checking out one of the best moments from this week when hunter thieves took down the titans of edward gaming and sounds the game presented by bose i'm watching flesh flashlight okay not bad great real oh actually there's not there's another way of dance i think we end no we end up there's another video right here yeah okay yeah stop watching flash and ulti okay let me flash on him give me give me the stop watching yeah yeah look here good job at least we went down like champions or something true brother superior number one seed i guess [Music] [Applause] look [Music] hey [Music] smell irresistible the new axe effect red bull gives you wings [Music] so keep talking [Music] if you're gonna hold me down [Music] none of you can't keep them is [Music] this is [Music] keep laughing [Music] none of you can't keep them [Music] break oh up [Music] is [Music] right now i'm taking my time with the matches [Music] it all leads to this make or break [Applause] [Applause] make it yours welcome back to world's 2021 group stage here in iceland weibo thank you so much for joining me after this game i know that's not the way you wanted things to end for fnatic but you managed to beat rng in a really good fashion and may i ask about the last game you were laughing the whole game during the game afterwards you were having fun in here right um yeah i mean we already qualified so no point in being depressed and well you know no point in bringing negative energy over something that wouldn't have changed anything anyway of course it would have been nice to win the last game we had every intention too but unfortunately we weren't able to and psg played a better game so better to be happy about uh what we're going to be happy about and depressed over uh yeah losing after already losing that's the spirit i like and in the end you may i do want to believe that you met the best out of a difficult situation throughout the entirety of group stage um what are the takeaways for you personally repo after this run when it comes to the mental everything you gained and things that are going to help you in the future um well i was thought that having the right mentality is most important trying to be a player that brings my team together rather than trying to figure out my own issues is something that i need to be in the future i think that this is what i struggled with the most is i let the situation get to me and i confided in my personal relationship rather than confiding in my teammates and trying to help them and um actually this is what i tried yesterday um you know i it felt so hopeless and i didn't know what to do and i was just told you should just talk to your teammates and try and figure it out and then we tried really hard you know like um i suggested uh i was suggested to try a-rams with them you know and we played tomay rams before and we just told each other let's just talk let's just play and communicate what happens on your screen and let's do the same tomorrow and i can say with confidence that it was a great idea and i'm incredibly grateful to the person that gave it to me because i actually could say i had fun today and i can't say the same for week one so having made the most out of it i have some regrets i think i could play it better of course but at least we made the most out of it then we actually all tried our best that is very nice to hear and especially since that you can you came together in the end right and that's what matters and maybe some mistakes people but i mean you roll swapped uh at the middle of the year from top lane to jungle playing your very first walls as a jungler successful role swap would you say you came clutch in this team fight man i don't know um you know for me i wanted to reach higher than i did as a top laner for it to be successful i wanted at least a quarter finals and uh i got my finals appearance so at least i had like the equalizer i was finals appearances in top lane mostly for the past two years uh of course i've had highers but or higher highs but this was the consistent make at finals and then i wanted a quarter finals because it was also what i accomplished as a top laner year after year so i'm a bit sad i didn't get the quarters um of course you know a bit disappointing for me especially but given the circumstances i roll swapped because i trusted hillasang and upset to carry us basically right after spring split we had a lot of conversations and we agreed that having a jungler that could play around them and try to make them work the best would be a very successful way of gaining results and i'm very happy that i got to show that in the lec and it's incredibly unfortunate for everyone involved including upset that he wasn't able to show what we would be able to have done huge props to bean i'm super proud of him i got put in the same spot as him back in back in spring 2018 it's not easy you know 16 hours before the game everything went like every everything went to like it hit us all really hard and we didn't know what to do but he stuck through and played every single game the best he could and nothing but respect to him nothing but respect to him and the fanatic team one last question there's one last wall standing it will be mad alliance tomorrow any hopes for this team and any words to them maybe honestly i just just have fun you know play your best enjoy the situation you're in enjoy the opportunity think about the themes that didn't make it here think about the fact that it's a privilege to play here because i think this is what really helped me get through it helped me understand like look in the end i'd rather be in a shitty situation in the world and not a world at all and even if you'd rather not be a world than any situation situation at worlds do the teams that didn't make it proud and at least go out with a bang that said i'm sure you guys can make it out of groups like come on look at your group you got this come on very powerful and very nice mission message from you people thank you very much for this interview thanks for this amazing year i'm looking forward to seeing you again in the lec next year and that's all for us here on this side of aslan we're going to take a break now and we'll be back for the tie breaker between hanwa live esports and rng right after the break see you soon you
