are all on the same page you're not gonna get another combination like this put together this g2 eSports team was not built to win it was built to conquer this brothers not this like no man is left behind the team that is greater than the sum of its parts si que el que algo en casa da da da nasha el que de nani AO Kentucky through Paloma St George's knock on window hi esteban esquivel

stand at the end of it all thank you again to all of the artists up there on that stage and MasterCard for another killer opening ceremony how do they keep doing this every time every time I can't help but get emotional because last year when I had the opportunity to see fnatic on that world final stage I thought that this was a one-off but we're seeing it again and now no one can say that Europe doesn't produce this level of town there are players at home right now that are looking at this opening ceremony they're seeing those European players and they're believing that they can do it too putting aside a better myself so now there's nothing left to do but narrow in on this series let's get into all of those little bits that might sway it one way or another that might allow European Europe to walk away with their very first world title I want to know what you think ultimately will tip the scales in this series Jack I'm coming to you first so there's a lot of things that could tip it but one thing that I feel like will be more influential than others is the draft but more so how it plays out in game because we know that going B is going to have slightly different picks than we're used to it could be rumble min it could be Nautilus how do you deal with banning out the meta champions and letting them have those or countering his pocket picks and I think that's what I'll do it is how will caps counter the stuff that go and be pulls out because if he's unsuccessful it could be a series for fbx when it comes to trying to control going B it's not a matter of if you can do it it's for how long can you do it because he will eventually unlock himself but I agree with you jet the draft is so crucial because teams have to pick their poison do they try to narrow down these champion pool because you just can't deal with how weird these picks are you don't want to face it in the lane or do you try to pinch in other positions do you look at trying to abuse a support pool or a jungle pool and that's why join me yes he's the Shocker but he's also just kind of the heart and soul of the team because he tanks so much for them in draft and Vettius we didn't get to talk about this in the semi final but how many draft bugs do you decide to use on the big champions like do you want to spend too draft buck bills on rise or do you have to spend all of them because that's whether these drafts down to you must have a price I was gonna say those are looking less like draft bugs and more like bucks draft buck is to the baby the euro to Schrute bucks to one when it comes to this draft here against doing B I think yes you can remove maybe the Nautilus take away the one but you can't spend all your pants on him because there's so many other key picks for this team TN heart carried on Keanu in that semi fine you have to respect these kind of things and I think as you highlight it there what does caps pick that's the important thing if you find a pick 42 where you can constantly keep doing being chick then you're win the series I do want to put a quick point on that Nautilus pick because I agree with you I hope they pinched the Nautilus just because then Chris has shown that either goes Nautilus or he goes Kench and one of the greatest is the pike and that's what I want to see I want to see a baited varus Kench and then G to just start dunking with the pike and I'm happy that you mentioned that Frost because Jack I love that you're talking about how can they control join these champion pool wonder played Yorick we have Orianna in the bot lane how can you control the creativity that g2 brings let's not forget that it was Pike that shut down SKT at the MSI semi-finals this team is full of creativity and flexibility while so many people looking at the mid lane you've got a look at this whole g2 roster and question what have they come prepared with today guy see crabs looking all inconspicuous that guy's a killer like he chops a wild shots of g2 backstage as they get ready but it appears all confidence as they're not necessarily running over any last-minute game plans they're just getting in the zone ready now I found it very interesting earlier jack when you had said in looking at that 99 champion present statistic yeah that you believe before to hit 100 it will actually come from the g2 camp in response to these doing V picks just look at CAPTCHAs history came in but everything that you can imagine min so who better to know something strange that could beat model snitch the champions that are normally middling have unexplored counter picks and caps has the brain to figure out what those are but let's also remember you don't have to counter the rear picks specifically in a 1v1 you can just pick something super storm for yourself and your team that can actually do some what to say and then maybe Lake a you become the main character Nautilus never becomes the main carry late cabs can do that in some of his champions his syndra in teamfights SKT was perfect in the end you saw the team bite break down off that fight where he's just dancing around catching people out he's kind of picks can go in t2 his favor then later we go into the Gator no Ted did you see that teamfight break down I'm not sure if not you go back and watch that I would say it was wonderful that's what Jack was looking at specifically in this series matroska I want to come to you next so I think as you kind of go pound-for-pound talent-wise it can kind of go back and forth we just talked about how Draft is important how it'll come down to execution for me the one place that I don't think there is any argument that it is just definitive is actually in the ADC position I think that perks will be the difference-maker today I think if it goes the distance if it comes down to the clutch moments perks is the bet a DC when it comes down to lwx and kicks like to rely on kind of traditional 5 e 5 traditional teamfights they can play front to back but this guy will bring things like for syndra the Orianna that yeah so he can mix it up and draft and I think that he is the more consistent higher performing member if they do go to the 5v5 late-game and at the start of the year when he just rolls swamped people are a lot of questions about his marksman specifically the majors we knew we could play hundred-percent but how good would he be on a late-game ad carry when there are four players on the other side who is diving at you specifically one misstep you're dead you might lose the fight for a team he has shown during the shave gotten better and better and better and in that semi-final people talk about Teddy you know he can be a better late game team fighter no he wasn't Perks was able in those late-game team fights to win it for his team on Yahoo or on traditional ad carries so I think he can do everything right now and that's why I agree with frost he's the better player Perks is the best saya and the world don't even at me don't disagree with me that is how it is leaves I up I dare you I think that's the consensus I don't think perks gets saya this series so when I'm gonna be interested in forest perks is it see the best Caixa in the world is he the best Ezreal in the world right like because really it's G chill has so many draft reps that perks has been able to get sion once every time but if that gets attacked yes he's a mid laner yes he should have a big champion pool but the act of practice champion pool he has looked best on Zion Kaiser after that his mages haven't looked that good this world championship but how about that Yasuo if all else fails we come back to odds and I like to say 12th official we got a little bit of a focus on the bot lane ad carry's specifically what about you focusing on the same length well yeah I'm looking at the supports I think both supports are huge playmakers I think the way the game is played right now the optimal way to play game is having active support who are able to either set up a play in their own lane when multiple people are coming down or able to leave the lane at the right times and go especially towards the mid lane we will see it from both teams and I think Chris and Mickey they've ended up being super saw players in this role especially crisp he's been the best performing support all tournament so I'm looking at that matchup specifically because these two guys will be involved in everything I mean that's very nice and you've all contributed a lot win condition will be we have to look at the early game I believe that both of these teams know what to do with the lead domestically this is what they were famous for taking a 1k gold lead and ballooning it into a 5k gold lead in the space of five minutes if either these teams is able to even find a tiny advantage in the early game I am confident that it will be fast it will be efficient and it will be deadly well so fpx demonstrated a clear ability to do that against IG in the semi final but it was a bit rougher of a go 42 yeah that's the thing that seriously late game for g2 was they didn't win early game that's why we gave you two if the exes were in the scorecard they came back late game teamfights used to come for a walk there is a chance this game will go towards that who asked the best late game team fighters I do think that those that those stats are a little bit skewed toward that px yes it is kind of their bread and butter anyway but ultimately they went through the group of life they had a much easier side of the bracket they faced an opponent in IG that they were very familiar with defending world champions no well as you can tell by the images on your screen and the cheers from around this stadium the players have made their way to the stage so it is that time my favorite time where we reveal what my analysts believe will be the world champion here in 2019 so let's throw it up on the screen so do you believe is walking away with the title of 2019 world champion this is an incredibly difficult prediction I feel like these teams are very evenly matched you can look over at the LPL broadcast you'll see a lot of fbx predictions you can look here and I think we're gonna see a lot of g2 predictions because they do play similar ways they have had different strengthened schedules it's gonna be about who performs slightly better on the day no 42 we got for Katie - all right explain yourselves why so much confidence I mean I believe that g2 is the better version of fpx I believe that their styles are very similar and even though g2 did not showcase a strong early game you only have to look at their dom 1 series to recognize what they're capable of they have way more flexibility in draft they have the individual pound-for-pound stronger talent and i believe that they should be able to come out on top again Stephanie X in convincing fashion I want to jump straight to what he just said here about individually the talent is better especially in the carry position in a world final in this kind of arena what you need are clutch players especially in those key carriers position late-game team fighting all of the g2 members can find the right target and pull the trigger that last team fight against SKT where multiple fights happening both all five players having to perform at the highest level that's why I think in the end g2 will take it and it will go all the way to 5 but they are just a better team it's it's very close and g2 has taught me a lot throughout this ro championship you need to be flexible you need to make split-second decisions and you need to be risk tolerant okay when I find myself on a desk with three European cashiers predicting g2 I have a flex prediction this is the case port and it's flexing to an FP x31 the risk is high being the only person to call though correct world-champion would be very high since this is a toss-up I'm leaning into Flex mix and being risk tolerance Jack pulls a cheat - let's do it in G - territory how many bucks to that like while we talked about you know harder side a bracket weaker side of the bracket everything like that the fact of the matter is is that g2 went through the three Korean teams again here Griffin down one and SKT but frankly history has shown us that Korea is no longer the strongest region that title actually belongs to the LPL right now g2 have an opportunity to take it away but they haven't beaten a Chinese team yet this is the true test who really is the strongest region in the world and I think that is kind of the the bigger storyline overshadowing this are you really better than China or you simply third place with the lck well this year this g2 Ross that has not lost a best-of-five and I see no reason for them to start today no reason alright well let me throw something out there we got a little bit more time so I'm gonna try and poke a few hope we don't have more time the teams are ready so it's time to kick off the 2019 World Final let's hand it over to quick shot Kobe and Papa smithy for Game one thank you so much to the analyst disc and welcome to the cost of this we are moments away from game 1 of the World Championship final and I'm gonna pick it up with Betty and set it off g2 eSports r1 best-of-five victory away which meant that leader RNG no s can see were able to do and this crowd is literally deafening of them want to see it happen it is amazing in here quick shot this is my favorite feeling in the world passion and this arena is overflowing right now when I heard that the world final will be in Paris after experience in this crowd last year at MSI I had goosebumps at the idea of having a world final here at the reality it's matching so let's turn our attention to drop I can see the player starting to filter into the lobby let's talk about some of the the pics that we want to see the analyst disk has spent a long that time talking about the styles of these teams which will expand on but what are the unique picks that we want to see I believe F kicks at site selection and picked a blue if article correctly and there are a couple of differences the LSS is alluding to is different values placed on some of the key champions for both of these teams right if you take the SIA for example lwx performance would indicate a lower preference for this champion as well as lower proficiency meanwhile the keanu is a similar counterpart if you're looking at from G to side because of my closest performances although it's still flex pick and caps and you have to wonder first question I have first pick on blue side because I actually expect both teams to pick blue side the entire series through yeah rise with the Caracas Yasuo combo visa things are going to be either prized or picked away while we're in to draft everybody and straight out of the gate from west Phoenix have eliminated syndra immediately following with Canfield and that will surprise some people but we know that captures a strong syndra play and it's a champion that bullies Mele mid laners with big CC totals so I don't hate the man at all and there's a Gragas fan here so no red side Gragas Yasuo first round available petit soon yeah fpx banning some of the key flexible picks here as everybody knows the bottom later for g2 used to be a mid laner perks also can play this syndra and gragas right now Str jungler but also as you talked about great synergies and setting up champions like yah so but this is a bit of a wild card acai Seban here even though it is a premier pick I guess they don't want to first pick it but don't want to hand it over to perks either the SIA priority for fun plus Phoenix is lower than most teams it'll draw about notably doin B's famous Ryze is available and that should be a lock in because this is such a powerful pick in the current meta it's flexible in both lanes setup as well as later on into the game however they're gonna prize the flats Nautilus overran the bread-and-butter champion mid lane notice is synonymous with doing me and fun plus Phoenix and we should get into why it is for a lot of viewers that haven't grown accustomed to FX's style yet doom B is much more about pushing the wave and shoving into finding picks or team fights for his team and he uses the utility of Nautilus especially that low cooldown on the ultimate - for summoner spells elsewhere and open up areas of the map for his team to target and varus tahm Kench priority with Caixa and zion surely is higher than ever now we haven't sinned it married to the tahm Kench every time but it's something that's definitely to consider that rise doesn't look like it's going to be left available for fpx to pick up and I like your point on the tahm Kench because you always look in the pick and ban phase to shore up the weaknesses of your earlier picks with your later picks tahm Kench very unique support provides a disengage for varus which is a very offensive carry here doesn't have any mobility for himself but does allow G to crowd control and set up take the bottom half of the map here we go simmer actually being locked in very much been a peripheral matey carried over the course of summer 2019 another team fighting choice though and the utility to help the Nautilus close the gap and two major strengths of Sivir the spell shield to deny that possible CC and set up in the bottom lane we just talked about as well as Silver's renowned waves clear we can see if FBX can actually try and control bottom lane waves in order to open up 30 second windows for both crisp to Rome as well as doing beat now here's a small question I want to it's an actually crisp most-played support over in the LPL was the locksmith as love support was a big champion in Korea we talked about how Lux paper it over the weaknesses in early laning phase of a Sivir and actually made it a lane dominant duo head of binding that even had a boomerang and you get big burst damage totals here it'll be a surprise to see it brought back and yeah it's a consideration it's not quite the same Pike proficiency as our g2 brother I'm excited to see where it lands and obviously with that Nautilus expected to go in do in B's hands the g2 first ban is that blitzcrank as well as the Brahms og to thinking on these same lies Funplex Phoenix are starting to remove some of those junglers from the pool Gragas reksai Leeson's picked away Elise is still available and one of yank officers go to picks with Olaf removed from the pool let's see where he lands Kobe and the reason that you can see front west Phoenix trying to funnel them into that pick is because they want heavy ap because rise was early picked they're banning away to ad junglers the wreck site in the Olaf even though eyes are mentioning quick shot the lease is higher on the tearless for junglers it being AP weakens your top side of the map then because only the solo laners and the jungler have one damage titan and g2 were basically on a bound take jungle at pick here not just because red side counter pick but because rise beats GP and that's Kim goon signature champion so it's a great top lane matchup and they potentially have a fiery double counter pick scenario going on and now for G to seeing this gangplank I would predict an attack damage champion looking to kill the game plank early no give me a things like the cled can pair with Elise to go for those dives no cled if you get shot it will take you off of the mount reset and die very easily with at least we can also reset and of course the gang of plank are locked in with that Thresh a very quick hover on the Nocturne from Mickey this is a brief shout out not only to do and be who's played at mid to various who was also trying to persuade them that Nocturne was the way to go we are looking for that solo Lane pick in the top okay this bike could commit could go top could go anyway t2 is one of the unique teams in that every single player has played pike even the jungler Kobe and this is a champion pick that will be reverberating around the world packs losing their mind and I said attacked ever it's purpose-built all right that is it active it's for you looks like at the last second you have to wait till 20 seconds actually for the last swath to come through but it could be either at the solo laners here expecting it to be atop a mid lane choice as rise beats gangplank waiting for we get the confirmation will be pike mid lane against noise final Plaza Phoenix versus g2 eSports the team compositions all locked in caps is running it in the mid lane in game number one now we have to go over some of the unique things about pike because it was even nerfed since g2 last use it in a prolific manner among all these lames the AoE is much less oh this bike is not about winning lanes by the way this is about the road game caps and Dorothy setting up teammates sharing goal and creating plays crazy thing is even though it's been dominant the Nautilus is too [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] championships coming into this game we anticipated some differences in decision-making in game and we'll get a moment to discuss how each of these two styles has been demonstrated at world how they want to win this opening gambit and style Trevor is a key word I am so excited to see that both teams that have made it to the top of the world competition here have embraced the avant-garde both of these mid laners heavy roamers we've had cats highest percentage of all mid laners thrown away middling Mickey roaming away from the bottom lane partner doing beef on these champions that push in Rome to create plays for the rest of the team now even as you can see in game this is a predator Pike to further enhance this style and this quick speed that we've become accustomed to in the current state of pro play because the 3v3 is what we so often come to when we talk about fun plus Phoenix we talked about how the support and the jungler will often row mid to help and to aid this ICC mid lane champion usually rise or Nautilus in terms of the World Championship and from there if the Nautilus has first run they're going bot lanes getting held up your wife's an advantage g2 are aware of this we knew what FBX would play amazingly this aggressive team that took the world by storm at MSI g2 is now very much the chameleon that looks at what the enemy's tendencies are and tries to counter it we saw from their first game at Worlds they fought Griffin they went scaling and they out scaled a great team fighting team in Griffin it's one of the reasons the analyst desk was leaning towards g2 to win this series the ability to adapt your play style now I'm getting an update that the pause is on g2 side wonder reported a peripheral issue which League officials are investigating and working with him I'm not sure if you noticed it's the same stage where the opening ceremony took part they physically had to move everything back onstage so hopefully we can work our way through this but I am glad that we get a couple of extra minutes to set some expectations for fans and viewers at home as we've alluded to on that funk west side we even saw the gang play you guys jokingly or fair said to me once do and B pushes mid your robot and maybe if Kim goons lucky he'll throw a cannon barrage yeah that's literally what we can see come true and I'm then want to see what you choose answer is because if we know it they know it and that's the thing is they've actually left open almost all the strong tendency champions that FBX have gone to this is very much a bread-and-butter draft for FBX and you think about the mind game here because they knew what was coming they opted into it anyway and suddenly the band flexibility guys the band flexibility you get if you beat their best is that suddenly that boxing with shadows and you're sick into every drop as FBX and this really highlights that there is a nother game on top of game number one in best of five series and that is the draft game you're playing for mental edge if you are able to beat the key style of the opponents it forces them to reach outside their comfort zone and play less tested opportunities and of course we're very focused on the gameplay aspects of it imagine sitting on like stage at least tens of thousands of fans listening to the cheers obviously it is g2 favored it's both a blessing and a curse and fun plus they said it in Madrid they wanted to make Paris cheer their name and we'll see if they can do today and the resilience factor is something that I think both teams are so sued but g2 especially about all those five game series with fnatic domestically of course and I definitely bring all their experience they do have a resilience edge but how much of does of that does it transfer to a world final because they've been in big stains before in Europe but the world final is a unique beast and there's a reason why so many world finals have been three zeros Kobe you and I were there last we remember what they like we definitely do and you can feel the excitement building up in this crowd Trevor you've mentioned something before about being glad that we have some extra time now because you're not going to get it in game coming to Worlds these two teams were both first place in summer for the respective leads in combined kills per minute in gold leads at 15 minutes the early game is expected to be action heavy for both of them I mean g2 Everage game time was something like 26 to 28 minutes the shores I believe worldwide at least in the major regions they play one style that's why there's snow bowling stats if this is how much lead they have and then five minutes later they tripled it is just the g2 way a g2 victory always happens even faster than you can really process it as the enemy when you look at the team composition that they've drafted today gentlemen if they were win more buttons I think a Ralph walk as well as everything in pike skit is definitely the tools to do so so who on the team that would get a pike skin what if they did five Pike's kids per sheet and always a little bit different well if I recall correctly during the build-up in the press conference fbx said they were asked a question what skills would you want there because I know g2 love it and I want to take it away from them I love the banter that both of these teams are willing to throw down in building anticipation for this man speaking of a takeaway of European viewers if you follow g2 on their social media it doesn't quite fit their play shall I say I mean that's been beefed between their coach and support right about actually playing the pick I think the LPL shown what this pick is it's no longer the save button that we saw the lck teams for years persist in doing I think that the prey gorilla days and the perennial tahm Kench picks is very much a WoW resetting turret aggro when you're diving is a pretty good aggressive use of the tank engine you mentioned the realm walk they've got an abyssal voyage to and then predator Pike shows up and is there a bigger win more button in the mid game than a overleveled pike a given gold to his allies of course let's turn our attention to FBX a little bit as you can still see leave officials working with Wanda on the G to cyanide to apologize about the delay before we get into this opening match bet the nautilus this Sivir the gangplank there is a are we've four days on this side of the roof as well as real strong CC and initiation and since we have the time I'd like to go a bit deeper on the strategy behind both of these team comps right if you have the lands like Trevor's talking about on FB X's side they have more limited options in the early game because of the matchup in top lane where gangplank to play defensively versus the rise past a couple of levels here it is going to be a lot about where these junglers decide to unlock their lanes and get the roaming down because Citroen and Thresh especially a zipper taking TP here is much more about wave control and about setting it up then being a creationary tool here so if TN can get doing be control of the Midway against the pike who we talked about not having the AoE as before that unlocks need to actually be proactive otherwise we're looking at the g2 side with more proactive options early on and I love that you're going on the matchups that's what you usually do when you have this overlay up rise beats GP yep there's Tom against server yep imagine considering the organic pike versus Nautilus mid laner that is what we have to talk about that is not only the middle a matchup but both of them to some degree our setup champions but kind of in different way and I love the differences because with your eon nautilus the big advantage it has you know Nautilus can shove the minion wave so so many so many people looking at champions here but most people should be looking at minions because minions is the first step to actually creating these plays I believe taps spends the most time out of lane of any mid laner and you don't have the ability to push with your a anymore you have no heya we really own the kid at all so it's gonna be who dodges out there's many ways and actually gets successful roams off this at this point he's gonna be down and CS one way or the other it's gonna be really about the play making that I think we judge both mid laner zone and the beautiful thing is both of these teams have demonstrated multiple times this world championship that they are capable of doing so just an update for everybody at home that after getting onto the rift g2 wonder paused the game reporting that peripheral issue his keyboard was not responding and after installing his backup keyboard the issue is resolved we are back on summoners rift for the 2019 World Final Kobe and Papas may be thank you so much for setting up those expectations on both team Cobbs Papa can I ask for a quick refresher it was about five minutes ago that we lost heard from the team absolutely with FBX it is very much a mid to late game teamfight comp but it's at the price of early laning phase I think there's a lot of inroads that can be made in top and bot lane here 42s king goon finds wander down backing him up okay sonic wave wolf finds him down flashy is available he's not gonna be able to get away just yet they're not needed and it should take some time to give the mini-map no responses yet now it's a fairly important to look at the aftermath of this invade it is a split map here fbx trying to invade on the top side and to take away red buff your g2 doing the same on bottom side defensive vision has been in place very often that will see FBX code for these lane splitting strategies at the cost of their bot Lane but with CIPA thresh you weren't expecting Lane dominance anyway they seem to be wanting to give breathing room to the gangplank prize can take aggressive trades with no jungler topside it's exactly as we mentioned in champion select the gangplank is very vulnerable to dives early on Ryze can use the range advantage to go for that but bottom side of the map fpxr trying to defend against the even split map usually you'll have red traded for red side but crisp denies the Krug camp the one with the most experience and gold on it in the entire map actually in the g2 Griffin series and group saw how a delay in snow is that this can have huge cascading effects on lanes as the jungler isn't there at level 3 at the same time back in bot Lane elder Batson Christus being super respect for zombies already walking while there be respectful in-game perks was not too respectful out-of-game do and be waited to be the second best mid in the final Carlos reiterated that but if you look at the mini-map Doonby has already grown very looking at the minions poby and one is still under pressure Theon's will only apply but Toby's come back to land it's really worth highlighting how top planners play when they do not have pressure when their jungler is the opposite side of that even go forward for the chase Shion is still nearby and it's highlighted because wonder knows that this is a split map and as a possible dive being set up also as you can see in the mini-map Doran B has started to move alright CN has pulled the wave he's got him stopped the red buff there's the oracle i teleport eyes to come in but this is a three versus one Phoenix are looking for the double cap she's trying to swim to safety teleport begins the channel in the top lane Wonder joins but fpxr on the ball and two things to look in the aftermath two teleports both use their but the big minion wave also forces Wonder to teleport back you can see caps actually now rotating around for a possible answer here looking to interrupt aback if he can but for now it will be a blue buff steel potential three buff here the yang I really want to highlight how do and be had started to roam up and walk his way there but because they needed the extra second starts teleporting on the minion under Tower even though you had made it halfway up the map it you could see now he's almost there already but they know that because caps is going to answer they need the extra second flashes in then you can have the W from chanted guarantee he executes damage they're just really nicely for it and it coordinated here by Fe X but a very extended set up that cfb X way they don't mind to surround you put up the spears and say you're in trouble just give me a second to fully set this up due to are usually more instant about their place but this time was in position the Elise to punish it's to the profit of an extra blue buff little bit of damage and do and be the first to move now wonder flash the sonic wave it's a resonating strike is trying to us he's going down Yankel arrives it's too little it's too late and the top difference from pressure is fantastic for a PA and it's a different look they haven't gone mid lane to try to work with the Nautilus it's been T on setting up a cab he's back again he absolutely is remember we said fpxr great to diving boss now they show again he's gonna get squashed like a bug underneath FB X's boot because what goes up must come down but the flash gets into safety yang comes with a big fingers I was convinced he was taped and he survives for now and look at the pace that FBX are setting here they're not letting G to reset from the loss of pressure that they've accrued on top side they keep chaining play after play into g2 s weakness this is something that both of these teams have been so good at once they get an early lead an FBX my knee that topside advantage so heavily and it means that the kill involvements for G Peden puts them in basically parity maybe a small lead over the rice here trades are still gonna be very one-sided to wonder but it's definitely been a lot of top lane focus from the split mat level one on the side of FBX I like the attitude from FBX they're not trying to defend to where they are weak they are attacking g-tube to force them to change their game plan one does putting so much pressure individually here on to Gambian despite 0 to 0 yang cost waiting in the wings as a potential dive comes out off the roof prison as well that's a lot of minions denied +10 CS for now and as it stands even on levels beyond cos is looking for the cocoon into the bush and he won't find it so g2 will be content with pushing back the pressure they are still down 700 gold but Papa smithy they could seed the trach so great heads-up play from FPS both teams kind of ahead of plays here good map route from map not read sorry from Jim doing that is definitely his trademark often playing on the weak side hasn't been that way so far this game but they're reading the change in tempo the way the wind is blowing when it comes to the aggression they'll take the Drake at Chris Jent sentence comes down as does the boomerang blade Mickey's waiting by with the Devourer piercing arrow tags Chris I'm keeping my eyes on TN to see if he wants to go on to the tower flashes available for both bot laners on G two sides yeah I mean one of the nurse to Thompkins was it the the cooldown on the Devourer there so it does open up a bigger window early game but as you can see we're highlighting now back to champions like where we talk about the varus and Thompkins synergy you know shoring up that weakness of the varus if you get caught like that can come through and save a disastrous play what's still waiting on the FBX stand in play but which can still be re-entered this games usually boots of mobility first back from Lane the crisp where we do see that trio mid lane might be a duo castillon's level 6 exactly you have to keep tracking the junglers this game is so much about playing where you have the numbers advantage and the one that moves first is able to open up that opportunity of chaining across the map take a look at how they can change things across the map on the g2 side because Papa smithy if you remember back at em inside g2 started to fall behind SKT know was the pike mid gameplays that brought them back into it right now caps is not activated the first one to leave MIT is doing B again with that superior push he's come up with the help of T on and this plates being taken down and we're seeing the exact opposite play here it is push up through a big minion wave seeing that wonder backs off there's a roam up through the jungle from both doing V as well as TN that means G to know on the bottom side yes they did lose a minion wave on top side but they're gonna try and deny that same minion wave on bottom and you notice perks actually has a back timing here rather than trying to cash in plates so plate gold is certainly not gonna be equalized I actually don't want the minions to push down this plate otherwise probes would not get involvement all the gold goes to tahm Kench knee backs now this game is really highlighting that Evan flow of pressure once again the flow now on the side of FBX that they have overloaded topside I was a huge fan of some of the missing pings there from G to Kobe you talked about overloading topside G to aware of it missing pings as TN was sitting in the try bush - and B could have roam doing B by the way plus 15 CS mobi boots just completed so I'm expecting more running to the side Lane and that's when you stop clicking your fingers to suit you to mention that with the TMF hike can actually push out doesn't just fall into a huge CS hole like has been so far about 20 CS and match because the Nautilus having the ability of the earlier roam on the movie boots rush means that predator Pike has actually been caught farming in mid lane a lot yeah this is so exciting to me because we're seeing the the peak of fluid League of Legends where it's all in on roaming around no first couple of item purchases for caps do highlight that strategy now bottom will they go for the ghaib on perks there's no top cash there's no time kids right now perks has done some work to clear the minion wave out I think the piercing arrow did its job he held on to the hail of arrows dredge line will catch out Mickey Blass code says didn't happen to on the boy FEX disconnected that trying to make plays in two areas while the normal list was a config anomalous the cocoon lands on to their target abyssal voyage is going to be canceled Micky was looking for their dive did he catch a quick glimpse on how team was caught on and so crucially for g2 it perks that picks it up gap beautiful chain of corruption there from perks to lock him down that was a big difference in power to because it's completed jungle item for TN while only pieces for Yanko said perks makes a big play for G - alright we need to find the cocoon from yang cos Chris is aware of the situation and he plays the defensive Thresh more than his screen away throwing down that lantern to safety gem goon takes a good trade in favor of wonder and now all of a sudden T on again present on the map he has been everywhere this game yep looks like he's headed top again with two and B here as they push mid and look for another opportunity here you go Trevor asking you shall receive hurts able to land the corrupting change right on the crop and then of course caps is there to ensure that they get it and this is a tendency that I'm sure g2s coaching staff have noted it is that when they go for these players where they threaten the dives they tend to stay around for a long time and check a second time a third time did definitely this ought to check the weather report multiple times before planning an outing this time caught a little bit there and that Pitt does reset some of the good work by FBX my yang cos waiting in the bushes yeah the gold is just about even three under the difference anchors will get caught out that cocoon into the Tang lash but he's caught by the dredge line Chris goes over the death sentence fantastic stopwatch fpx escape we are gonna have some of the best team fights this planet and game has ever seen as both of these teams are trading blow for blow a lot of tools used by both teams we have to remember so very opportunistic but T on to start up the rift Herald that's not gonna be a goer for now on FBX back off yeah that was very close to death for Chris you mentioned quick shot the stopwatch I had to use and then immediately he had to flash coming out of it because perks almost time a cue from ver has to be able to finish a mob afterwards now though as you're talking about full resets are coming out oh look at the mini-map one two three members if I count correctly in the top lane for MPX cheat series books are pushing for it's here and it's still stuck in the bush he's got the Dragons range available if he does may have just saved Mickey's life doing B continues to change he treads lines a little spiraling and now all of a sudden Capps is waiting in the wings level 9 to level 9 and he's gonna get spotted out here as he steps forward now all of a sudden Yonkers is the one caught by the Q those spiderlings doing some work that fortuyn be bow and skewer pulls him backwards but I don't think there's enough damage just yet FBX a thousand gold up three kills to 1 and they reclaim the lead GN here is the highlight getting credit here for the brush attempt from him Chris actually able to land the hook and set the whole thing up but because Jen is there he safeguards in dragon kickback getting the kill and also chasing down the rest of G 2 members thus not letting them get to play on the map here we go they're all headed mid oh very cheeky played from caps for the mini wave to go down but he's already caught out and slashes the way to safety the Riptide don't get to see when you've got weed now Mickey continues to chase for bro what the wonder the dredge like to safety but the car gets away the rice cute yeah good guys are bang goes down perps has rejoined the fray G to get their second kill of the game and they will get some chip damage onto this mid out to tart keep your eyes in the mini-map Kim goon is uncontested in the bot lane and pushing forwards we're always a jump-scare around every corner in this game always the backup the grouping based out about 8 minutes into game number 1 and the darkness in this game we don't need a Nocturne for it to be just so scared you have to consistently move your eyes forcing next objective Chris right now is setting up the vision game for the setup here on ocean Drake fpxr on attack once again take a look at the CS differences by the way 123 in the mid lane for doing B that superior push early has accrued of a 40 CS advantage g2 will be taking the rift Herald in the top lane while another dragon is secured by MPX in the bottom and Wonder and caps under some pressure info MPX decides to push some heralds secure it's left the housing ball game Coby and the second dragon picked up my FPS I like this move from g2 because they're trying to get the ripped out on topside in exchange for the dragon and get some value out of the extra teleport but wonder now stuck under the tower wide ruby for all right let's see what he can do rune prison into or below gets pulled off by the death sentence and that was flawless from fpx they pick up an easy kill they'll be able to pick up the tower but the tower first blood bonus goes to g2 eSports with the health of the rift Herald keep in mind it's still a 14 hour goal difference Papa smithy gold in different corners but remember this is a very health healthy riptile could be two turrets here an advantage that is going to be felt and a GPO is drawn already you can see FBX trying to rotate we Sivir into mid lane to hold this wave and allow the rest of the team to push on the mini-map you cannot race with a rip tail purchases assuring the ripped out trip to the inhibitor before FBX had even broken the second errant turret and it's even more big than that they've been behind this entire game behind the skirmish behind the eight-ball and they are losing the turret tempo Rayford getting it slower as this rip arrow draws a huge track a few cheer from the crowd Harris are loving it it's five kills titute but make no mistake MPX are currently in control as we now transition into the the mid game phase were a lot of skirmishes and and fights can break out Kobe I have to ask MPX you said they were a mid to late game teamfight team they have to feel happy with the lead they've generated already fpxr very happy right now because they have trinity force on gangplank level 11 for the level 2 ultimate that can come through so all they have to do is give that Sivir speed boost to the Nautilus thrash and look for those two hooks on to g2 g2 has a harder deal but they found a pick at their own that will be secured by hooks and arrives just in the nick of time now this will keep some pressure to the mid lane we've talked about the importance of timing Trevor every pick is another 20 seconds of extra pressure and g2 will use that to try and get a Pavitt turret maybe even the full thing the dredge line doesn't find the target and Doonby maybe wants to be happy death from below so that frog cat and that's the now in favorite teach you the cold lead as well and one simple ward one simple pic gives you two control of the mid lane and that's the thing that cheats you have regardless of gold laid as a bone screw as they're just two showed OMB that catches around is they have an insane pit company ever shrouded in darkness they get those picks and they subvert teamfights here we go the absolute dude revels coming up with an interrupted that's already a killer to wonder lwx threw down the ultimate six kills two three two dragons up with the gold is irrelevant right now Kim goon however will equalize the towers and if you look at the mini-map there's a lot of wards in the northern quadrant in favor of LPS and look at these two teams going blow for blow quick shot one pick into a turret answer here from FBX as soon as they see wonder in the river the flash no hesitation from crisp to answer it and get exact same back now t2 power play on bottom half and look there's just not much gold to separate even though you'd love it as an FBX fan it's only about a thousand gold between the two teams we see where it's centered a lot of that rift Howard play has reset what was just a growing snowballing lead terms of map play and also just gold leading from the side of FPS now I'm very interested to see how these next five to ten minutes play out because when g2 eSports fell behind SKT and the semi-finals they found crucial teamfights to bring themselves back into the game I feel like at this tournament MPX is a different beast and it will be a more difficult challenge for g2 exactly you have to play to the champions that your enemy has drafted here and g2 have a lot to highlight because they've got rise for side Lane they've got D predator boots plus the ghost played for caps so if they can rotate varus over to hold the mid lane then they start to look for those picks to get back into it one of the unique things to look for for the fans at home is we don't have waveclear mid laners do they have teleport they have hard CC they don't want to be caught in a side lane at all so that means we're gonna see a lot more fighting as often we'll be playing around one or two lanes maximum rather than the three fan out you often see in games like this and is a very very big difference between having your ad carry in mid lane clearing waves with the mid turret and without now cats going for a play under Tower it takes so much damage when you miss the skill shot you can't go for those dyes and caps walks away with his tail between his legs all right here we are our power play on the blue buff side of the map but there is a war to scout it out all right so fpx have got some sort of a numbers advantage G to sniff it out look volatile spiderling I think that just spotted I chambers of G to crisp is now making his way forward teleport coming from one on the tower at the boats to catch as g2 will even that go but what can they take they can start up the Drake here and stop the snowballing g2 are so smart at sussing out these combat puzzles that often games and league of legends in this meta turn into the moment they got an inkling of their being members on the flank they took them out of spy and once again vision will be so important because both of these teams for why are the pics chain of corruption will tag do and be dredge line pulls into safety secure the kill it will not secure another it's 20 minutes on the map these is such a tense game that cheats you they continue trading blow for blow and I want to highlight what's not on your screen is the mini-map both side lanes pushing and opposite directions here for g2 as well of FBX we mentioned these teams have a lot of similar strengths so while the mid core of both teams are looking for the pics with the atleast width of Eros there with the tahm Kench they are also trying to get the side lane pushing in their advantage to get the extra standing gold and I love that you pointed out with the arrow that justice or thing that's lost cuz people say oh it's a deathmatch oh that is fighting all the time but it's the setup and the silence allows it to happen - speaking of silence at a fantastic setup pompous MIDI teleport comes in effective so good numbers advantage crisp will arrive and captured in so much trouble he's going to get taken up but now they're not done just yet all this come down ignite goes down wonders running for his life tn gets the sonic wave does not follow the resident psychic cat tries to escape goes for a swim and does so for now G to get up but fpx is play to save it up managed to avoid defeat this is definitely a world championship game quick shot so close the margin of error here caps able to just utilize the full mobility of pike to get into the edge of the realm or as it was about to disappear now it's a reset if they're trying to hold lane though I'll take a look at the mini-map they're a lot of members all put in px sitting in the northern quadrant ASCAP's catches the top lane wave he sees MPX on top of that control ward and algae - looking for a hunt baron won't get tagged by the skew and nor will another Champion the volatile spiderling goes why timing is in the favor of FBX because they're the ones that have the split push going for them they've got him goon on the gangplank in the bottom Lane you can see on your mini-map so g2 trying to force them off of Aaron but fpx gaining one extra Lane of momentum and you look at the wards here you can see the g2 are leaving the vision behind as they fish to face reload a bot Lane here the flash was super necessary because the moment this run/walk pasand I didn't think caps could even get in yeah exactly because he got slowed down there even with the mobility of flank barely flashes to the edge the large in there of air is so incredibly small one this screaming I'm helping I'm helping and caps manages to make it out he by the way one one and three just sitting on one and a half items for now but G to have sneakily picked up a thousand gold leaf I think it's gonna be the least important stat in this game because setup and execution of these teamfights as we have already seen is what's gonna dictate who comes out on top but Trevor I thought the eye test you'd be surprised by right back way it feels like FBX been on top where this gold lead come from those were the fundamentals that allowed them to stay competitive against SKT in the first game of the semi-final they are so smart about always playing the sidelines and keeping competitive in CS numbers which keeps them competitive in golf and remember people should not just look at gold because there are other things gank blinkx as your dog pikes shares extra gold with the ultimate here is a set up though what's very important is the control of that set of vision around barren terrain of corruption tags of target there's no follow up remember if g to pick a fight in the Baron pit against Nautilus Sivir gangplank that's not really a place you want to be cannon barrage is available in chain of corruption was just used so give you steps up to the plate does not find a fight yet but one of the things and we are seeing is MPX need to find an answer when g to put pressure down they are gaining a few more benefits outside of just the dragons but it's fpx with control the power picks and while these teams are very similar there are some key differences where g to have very good burst damage more for single target fbx have a lot of AOE that they can try and bring to front this is what you want to do if you can funnel the enemy team into a small or corridor but they can actually get more value there another difference is the fact the rise will just out match any opponent in the side lane as this scaling comes up another six minutes on the rod of Ages to complete that so even with some magic resist incrementally put in they're gonna have to try to force those fights and maybe over force as otherwise wonder will take side lane objectives well at this point because if you can open up the map Papa smithy one of my favorite strategies that has evolved over the years is the trailing split pusher and caps is able it is on a perfect champion to play that role if you hover behind the split pushing rise and the an opponent sent to people you surprised you go for the burst kill we have to align on the language I call it piggyback ganks while you're gonna TP to pick you back over let me on top light side here we go I'm a fan of the piggyback gang game and that's the third dragon secured by FBX double clouds is dancing and a benefit them as they want to continue to move around this map caps does get spotted up by an FBX Ward but important to note the synchronize recalls on the side of g2 allows them to read group up on the map push back for some control around that Baron pit and now wish moving into this barren phase of the game and for chaotic teamfights one thing you should look for is a g2 fan is the fact that we have a rageblade build here coming through from Perks he actually needs to warm up on a minion wave or targets before he actually gets that double hit passive and gets going in a teamfight and this is a sort of game with as many threats there are that you actually need a certain type of terrain to fight around to get that amount of time and also when you're thinking through these possible picks and these possible teamfights you actually have to opt in to who is going to burn cooldowns from your opponent because there are so many critical ones and squishy members on the team if you are g2 you're looking at yang COEs he's got the fully completed zhonya's and Elise also has repelled pool built in so while not a tank you do want the Elise to bait out some of those big cooldowns if you repeal a nautilus hold yeah it changes the game for your team they also have to talk about the positioning of Mickey with the rest so continually press tab look for these stopwatch just look for these Anya's completions but also the positioning on the members with that stasis and when it comes to these vision wars where someone puts down their wards they have to back away and reset the wards and go and buy on the enemy can then take over vision I actually think FBX will struggle to reclaim vision against a g2 camp because even the lantern control ward down you're gonna be caught going for a phase check and you already mentioned cheats you have multiple ways to make them on target about like the repel and like the tahm Kench to valve now there is one thing that is always a huge benefit on the side of their px out just do it be setting up a fantastic play the throat about into the hook and Mickey gets chunked out while that's going on give you enormous picks up a sonic kill in the bottom Lane fbx have found themselves a gigantic advantage are two sides of the map also important to note rapid firecannon picked up a lwx the 600 CS civil wind condition is always a possibility brick shot the rewards for that kick are enormous mid tower the last of the outer defences going down 40 to make it incredibly more difficult to try and defend in the vision wars around baron that was doing be using the proto belt to get into range to try and land the hook on to Mickey what a big critical play from the star player of FPS and a 27 minute mid lane tart doesn't sound like a big thing but Kobe you're right on the money look at this siege comp they've got almost no range on the side of FX they needed a pick like that to ever actually get the turret that's core to Baron defenses that mid lane out all right Kim goon will now run into one to both of them level 15 wonder got the first trade but doesn't follow up with anymore and outside of just clearing out the vision if px weren't able to get more than the tower it is a huge win for them doing be making the move that counts yeah I feel what I've criticized the champion pool for so long you know some people advocates and want to seed won't be on the world stage proving his style you see proof right there in that play this is why he plays these types of champions to create openings for his team in this case now fbx have to look to the next step for themselves they want to use that speed advantage from Sivir ultimate whenever it is up to enable those two champions to try and find that hook caps by the way level 13 as matching adieu and be top laners have got most of the experience this game wonder is up 80 CS / kim goeun and still playing that side Lane but we haven't had that huge explosive teamfight it feels like if one team is able to win it they could either take it in him or a baron and get huge control in this game and it's getting much more difficult now for g2 to play - they're champions because fpx have such a good possible teamfight here silver as you mentioned quick shot extremely good and well protected damage output for that horse it's gonna be very hard for G to actually find that kill onto the backline and remove those AoE crits and that's the really important point is that in the open just can't women's teaches comp and a5 b5 where everyone ups into it it's not gonna work but they always have that big CC opportunity if they get a vision reset so actually look down the middle here look at the scoreboard see the control words put together it's gonna be could be caught alright who's catching who though because I think there's more support for FP X to respond escapes from the dredge line we are 30 minutes into Game one of the championship final and truthfully we still don't know who's going to come out on top FBX I've got Pryor in the mid lane they do not have control as they don't wanna face checks are getting this awkward setup all right here's the potential teamfight doing be stepping forward Zana takes some damage from that volatile spiderling or the banshees veil wonder feels more confident to step up a thirty-minute infernal it could be very valuable to trench line is tossed away from at the breaker secure Panaji to us split that's at least some CC to interrupt the chain of corruption we'll start to spray and it's Ricky that gets tagged he's locked down he's locked up his jet lwx is on a rampage the Sivir is terrifying there goes the teleport [Music] double kill for FPS a flash the gap close but time in my time here you might just indeed - what up what's going down realms coming out managed to escape that wandering captain run for their lives three members of g2 eSports our town death from below is available caps can he snipe the g2 solo leaders all that's left for them to tried to pay the Bear Creek shine there's a dance from below available to cast he manages to get the skewer one to take so much damage from the barrels go straight in but the ulti does nothing parents were enlisted to help g2 and finally wonder goes down given goodies low on HP eight seconds left of a perk survived but it's FBX second the barrel they will claim at their prize a ferret buff to empower the push all right Kim you will he find trouble from caps yes he does and not gonna go for the kill just yet caps not continues to chase abyssal voyage comes in from Mickey but the tongue lashes Sikeston Kingdom escapes 3:04 on that gangplank it started with him and it may end with him I just want to highlight how quickly the decisions have to be made after this play instantaneous from all teams and Colonel Drake picked up by - they go into evasive maneuvers trying to kite down towards the bottom half thematic but with the zipper ultimate and with Nautilus immense crowd control they are split apart pop up and then it becomes just a buddy story here trying to allow perks to escape the kick to interrupt with the knock up there beautifully done you see the cheering here from backstage yeah yeah guys wanted to get in between so that the queue wouldn't land but you just kick him right through still gonna get the doc up there and that led to what we're seeing on screen fair enough FBX coming for those inhibitor turrets it's unbelievable performance from fpx if you look down the kill scores three zero four three one six one two six four zero three of the team's 11 kills the kill participation is extremely high it's what we wanted to see from FBX push out Elaine Rome to a side Lane the difference is it was Kim goons can't blank with the caliber Raj that was the recipients at this game and he sets lwx for another kill 386 CS on that Sivir with the baron buff empowered the inhibitor is going low but wonder is a rattling across the damage onto FBX please port out the trench line into the flame wonders looking for the round wall and he won't escape 6:03 lwx is dominating g2 did so much damage but they couldn't finish it on FB acts are able to get what they came for as well quick shot inhibitor in the mid lane is down will be constant pressure for them to get off and getting the baron which was such a difficult ask for the team cop they had is the tonic to actually get those five B fives in open areas where we already outlined early there's just no response from teachers come the moment comes fishes for a hook his health bar is delete again so much of this game has been about finding picks hitting still shots and then using those openings immediately to get more from your opponent look out MPX do not hesitate to burn all their cooldowns to look for one more advantage this is the way that you can snowball one play into the next and to get the most out of it and you see how low and VXR had caps been alive with death from below in the melee in the AoE that ultimate reset could be a game-changer but he was not so the inhibitor goes down g2r 4,400 gold behind and you can see that gigantic swipe from the dragon fights to baron impart misma the MPX are in complete control of game number one and I think the one consistent through this topsy-turvy game of action has been that we felt the impact of Doom B's Nautilus above capsules Pike style pick at the end consistently you understand the theory behind the starting boots going predator and having the ability to roam but never getting the lane control to actually match join B who is 3/4 times ganking top and bar and this is don't B's most iconic champion for the mid lane because it is so abnormal because no other mid laners fully embrace it to this style and everyone has always posed questions and say ok but prove it on the world stage here you go Papa smithy I submit exhibit a and yet oh you see the old bone by several they want to catch anger soon to Yonkers flashes over the wall now look at the mini-map the rest of FBX were setting up for a potential alder Drake mercs gets caught by the nor less ultimate and while the cannon minion is still there chief the elta they're going for the inhale but the trench on tactile wonder he's in trouble to do he goes golden another test sentence comes out to file from the device enough time because desperate bomber kills down to visas the five they open up the base and just remember during SKT they conceded the Barons to get the in Hibbs this is a game about pressure and control of the man and this is why g2 is so beloved they never go quietly into the night they will always try to find a counterpunch they are impossible to care exactly Papa smithy they will always look to surprise you by remaining on the attack on the offensive and even if FBX closed this game that will still be lingering doubts not often the case when you win Game one of the world fine Nick he looks like he's going to get caught out by Kim drew once again 4:08 on that gangplank throws it down another stop watching what caps is arriving to see him go down that is a nother kill another death that is unneeded and unnecessary at this point FBX strike back again and guess what the Baron is soon to arrive in only 30 seconds with a elder dragon three elemental Drake buff FBX have full control over the area they're hunting indeed yang Casas got a banshees no flash available to him on the mini-map we've got no vision of the observers building the tension highlighting what g2 can see MPX are putting pressure in the top lane has what we could see quick shot they're moving to the bottom side of the map again trying to remain on the attack even though FBX have wards again with Baron coming over from that side they still want to make the offensive play they rush the minions ahead with the rise realm orb and they're going to race it look at the mini-map though the rest of MPX they peeled onto the Baron coming up for doing beat that's a three-man baron snap teleports are coming down now that's correction to the top lane perks manages to make his way up so baron will be conceded yeah and Wonder can sees the flash to run away him goon is chasing he's got inside the eye as the essence reaver the Baron is secured this is the second of the game in conjunction with elder FBX should be in control but g2 don't care about shoot and I love those conditional languages in a match like this where FBX has been packing the punch to have the scaling it's still conditional cuz g2 still gives you questions to answer and if you're too slow in this meta you can still lose gentlemen coming into this game we were discussing how Fe X and G 2 have redefined how League of Legends is played and we already see all of the arguments being made both of these teams continually shooting their shots taking their looks at px have got buckled under the pressure where a lot of teams get surprised by the constant offensive moves while g2 is down FBX have remained calm and this is the key to game number one now with the Baron and the elder dragon they're able to push on top side and they should be able to get the rest of rewards g2 though throw another counter punch on the bottom half of the map you can see in the mini-map I get a double TP down bot Lane but what has to shake up on the top side and canna TP flank undo this three-man push alright we're gonna have to find out do and B is able to defend for now teleport is coming up that's the recalls now coming up with g2 we support the top lane inhibitor is going to fall and the mid lane inhibitor is exposed as well FEX I've fused the teleport form to me they're gonna try and get two inhibitors here do you recall all rights in hip number one hasn't fallen just yet but it will in a moment there it does both of them fall down caps manages to find the bone skewer and g2 are looking for an initiation by the way Kim goon did not leave that bottom lane so - in hips secured in favor of FBX they still have a minute and a half on Baron and another three minutes - elder if g2 can survive hander in this awkward spot is G to where you want to walk up posture and draw a GP teleport so your piggyback down the box side you're pushing game can actually work they don't get that T peak and good holds on to it if old teepees are down there's still a split push scenario the g-tube fbx marching ahead here they have remained calm they still have a minute in twenty seconds to work with the Baron buff as well teleport available for lwx as well as goon and it looks like it would be a reset 40 minutes into the game and it is a 7,000 gold lead for MPX lwx sold his boots is full Sivir build and 26 es shy of what is considered the win condition for sever 500 equals victory now it should be even more confident than that right now with a minute on barren ground ball comes out and wonders gonna get caught up in the net Center it's another kill it's another pick it's another moment where fpxr shining 60 seconds at time of Kobe with super minions in multiple lanes and Baron to defend that's probably gonna be game number one quick shock fbx with the five before advantage will march on the Nexus turrets chain of corruption is available in yang cos gets caught up with the powers buying some time then goes forward the K approaches like to sprinkle each acre buy some time with the Autobots in two amigos like lwx gets another that's a second the nexus town Folgers well @px only for one lost kill not gonna find it just yet and the Nexus get focused that just gets killed off to the ice first to the final [Applause] [Music] first blood first dragon first parent first Nexus and truthfully it does not play out that easily big smiles on the g2 phases but FBX open the finals with a statement and I think g2 can actually take from this they made the enemy fight and we talked about how they played a dangerous game they left open all of FX's classic polling cards and they knew if they took Game one the draft wins from this would be massive they're not gonna get those drop box they are taken down but damn if it wasn't a twisting curvy road over 40 minutes the play on summoners rift was exciting I'm also equally excited Papa smithy to head into what you're talking about the draft for game number two because blue side we talked about being so important for both of these teams because of the nuances here of those specific champions oh boy this is already setting up the way we want it we had the out plays the caps escape on to the realm war and now we have to just bring ourselves down and regroup freakin so hard with the energy and the screams in I feel like I'm attacking the game at all times and so do FBX so do g2 let's also talk about the fact that FBX I don't see surprised us but they were going top was something that we haven't seen them do a huge amount and they did it so well Kobe and again that element of surprise has improved for both of these teams throughout the entire tournament a lot of people dissected g2 s game for SKT as well and then making a lot of uncharacteristic surprise attacks moves FBX do the same thing they absolutely do and it ends up getting them a victory in game number one so obviously g2 are gonna get site selection fought for smithy this is something we've talked about a lot now Sun has been the preferred side of choice it's been more victorious multiple times we will get to talk about that in the next game for morn how it game 1 played out let's hear from safe all battles des thank you very much quick shot that game 1 had just about everything you could have asked for the kickoff a Finals best of 5 but it's FBX that strikes the first blow I mean that was wild we had the out plays it felt like we were gonna go to for late-game you didn't really know when you were gonna count g2 out it kept like they were in striking distance but I think I just closed the door that game was tense because both teams were giving so much respect to fog of war like they were playing actually in a very high level yes there are a few missteps here and there getting caught up but that's because that was the wind condition Jeju never wanted to teamfight they were always trying to spread up and the way that fpx gave a few minion waves to make sure they could find the fights like it was it was a beautiful game a few minion waves sometimes their support as well and that's the thing if you don't see anything who do you send in first your support this thresher doesn't add that much late-game value anyway that's why he got caught out a few times that's what we saw from Jeju and what they wanted to do but it wasn't enough because you've got never got rid of the wave clear let's take a moment to evaluate champions slight frost guy no 13 count down we talked about that you know the bait of the Bears Tom Kenz to maybe have the g2 response of the pike on the other side well they got all three the big question mark here is gonna be the pike great the casters did a wonderful job talking about an endgame but that's kind of where I felt everything started you see a draft like that and it's pretty clear-cut what g2r going to do they're going to roam a lot they're going to try to beat join me at his own game and specifically in the toppling Rhys versus gangplank is a great matchup for rise you have at least who's phenomenal at diving and then you throw a pike on top to have that mixed damage of the ad with the two AP carries and suddenly g2 for the first 15 minutes like this is all about blitzing top lane and diving with pike and we also get to see the power of the blue side for a fix and white is selected here in Game one there's not enough bands to get rid of everything if you also want to remove these key targets we talked about in the pregame during these champions do you ban them away or not in this case Keanu SIA and pandan are just power picks you gotta get rid of it's so typical to fpx and what we saw from them in the semi-final they came in with a plan and that's what I want to talk about the early passing by TM to disrupt the gameplan formulated by G - I think Tien and the whole of fpx played this properly and this is actually another reason while I don't think G - we'll go back to the pike as a Nautilus counter because the Nautilus gets too much freedom in the early game so a they let vertical on this side because they know that they would much rather dive the lane that doesn't have tahm Kench in it this isn't necessarily about having GP top or needing to get Jimmy boom Fett it's just the only thing they had to do and fpx have been masters at stacking waves and diving yeah it basically throws a wrench in G to s plans and gets read exactly what they wanted to do when you split the map like this g2 can no longer just start throwing everything talk Lane and even though they slowed wonder down they didn't shut him down but this event meant that the next time j2 could strike was waiting on that Tiamat power spike from the pike so they could compete with the waveclear and that happened eight minutes thirty seconds into the game and that's when fvx did slow down a little bit with all these place to watch topside wonder did start getting a lot stronger in the game as well despite him ending with a ones one and six score something like that he was still able to push later but that's why you normally don't attack the gangplank Lane if you have camping on your site but in this case it stopped Jeju from playing aggressive early I think I was a beautiful call and affixed they love invading with the jungler level one fpx gonna feel good about that one and while they got out to a small early advantage but this game was not without those moments for G to where you saw their comeback potential and when it comes to performing in front of this epic crowd here impairs some players they try and show up you know what I'm just gonna let quickshot take this one I love that you point it out with the arrow there cuz the sort thing that's lost cuz people say oh it's a deathmatch oh they're just fighting all the time but it's the setup and the silence allows it to happen a speaking of silence antastic set up Papa smithy teleport comes in effective so good numbers advantage good curse will arrive and captured in so much trouble he's going to get taken up the moment this run/walk is on I didn't think caps could even get in yeah exactly because you got slowed down there even with the mobility applying barely flashes to the edge the large in there of air is so incredibly small one this screaming I'm helping goodness said it better myself quick I love the hive around to play but I have to highlight that actually costs G to so much wonder sitting there getting caught out in Asia by doing B and then the forced TP to try and defend him that meant fall about five minutes g2 were not able to have pike roaming in the sidelines and it just meant that deceiver who was sitting on one item at that point got to farm and farm and farm and farmer from well did you could not split up the map due to lacking TP on that pike so this actually cost you two so much and a lot of picks to get to Lake oh this game was back and forth both teams having moments of pressure and pushing the aggression but I do want to take a look at where it all broke in favor of fpx let's go through one more fight and this was right I believe at the end the game after they'd been able to pick wonder and when fpx can get this type of situation they're gonna have a good time and I have to just say Chris played this game so well letting Capps get good pike resets off in teamfights they're actually a few very close moments in this fight but once they got this bush it was over him and T on the jungle support we gave it to a fix coming into this they showed up big time I mean I'm gonna add another day join me I thought he's a nautilus play when he was hard for us when he catches Mickey he did that blind and he just grabbed him in the bushes like I have a suspicion someone's gonna be standing here this goes to fun plus Phoenix game one that is but g2 definitely not out of it as they retool in there ready room but that's gonna do it for Game one fun plus they've stuck or rather struck the first blow here in the quest for the world title will see what T two could deliver after this commercial break [Music] [Music] crippled gives you wings [Music] [Music] against people our hands Korea have escaped in new relish on some jellybeans huh [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music]
