G2 vs. FNC - Semifinals | LEC Summer Split | G2 Esports vs. Fnatic | Game 5 (2021)

[Music] and here we are here we are versus g2 game five one shot for these teams to make their way to worlds and of course to finals weekend next week where they face off against rogue for a chance to face mad for the title medic yeah i think this is to me the most important g2 fnatic best of one i've ever seen it feels like it so many stakes are on the line like this time it's not a title but it's worlds and it's keeping the run of worlds alive for both these teams over so many years i mean reckless said it earlier today he said this is all that matters to me if you don't make worlds your season is unsuccessful you have not had a good year even if you win titles even if you place well in spring even if you have a good performance all around if you don't make worlds your season is not worth it and you can see on the looks on their face you can see reckless there you can see the players on fanatic side as well this is everything to them reckless was laser focused if any of these players are going to have the game of their life oh boy it better be this one fnatic have looked dominant in the early game g2 look like they can bring it back in fights and that's where they're focusing in draft specifically my biggest question coming into pick and ban is twisted fates oh boy this song it's scripted i mean the thing is as well wreck was left fnatic before he went to elements and they crashed and burned and fnatic claimed title after title and reactors had to work his way back towards them and then now he's left the fnatic and he's gone to g2 and it looks like fanatic could be the team that deny him a spot at worlds you can see adam there taking a deep breath i mean with pressure on adam renekton targeted at him after solo killing wunder it's just about a year this man has been playing competitive wippo must be so proud that adam coming in is taking out wunder in his best of five especially in lane phase itself tristana first pick for g2 they want to be the ones playing this ad carry and fnatic have been denied it that's the important thing g2 moved over to blue side here they locked in blue side they decided they wanted they locked the tristana first but khan banned away so far we've seen zinzel twisted fate high priority the question is there it is twisted fate immediately here for fnatic caps must have an answer they let this champ go through pick and ban they picture santa away they have to have preferred something into it trundle's going to get taken from whippo too yankos diego since our leasing has a lot of options caps could go syndra could go orianna the orienta hasn't been working out i think it's not really been having the push to stop nisky from being able to roam around maybe he wants to go for a silence but the thing with g2 is they played for this later game composition for these team fights and it works out it's worked out for them a couple of times but they don't have an early game right now fnatic consistently are getting early game leads two three four thousand gold and you have to see some changes from g2 if they're going to manage to get towards that mid game here the ryze can follow the twisted fate a lot more i like the swap up i like the rise into tf you out scale him you push him in and you win the 1v1 tf just has a bigger global but ryze can deal with him on side lane so what they're going to round out here we've seen a lot of brown blind picks are they going to pick support i think matching jungle makes sense here rise lee sin is a good combo rise inside a good combo gp blind pig could be good but it's going to be a camille insta lock so rice camille for the side lanes nisky has a tf they have counterpick top what is adam going to pick into camille he could go for things like the olaf could go for a mordekaiser as well yeah we saw mundo against it in game one but of course the camille was picked into the mundo there no one could of course take the trundle into the top lane or even put trundler's support okay instead ezreal will be locked in here for upset in the bottom lane okay so g2 can ban away top laners the blind pick camille the stare down worked out i think because now they can ban away tops if they want to and fnatic still want to pick up their support and their top laner so expecting top lane on four support on five but again jungle not picked for g2 lease in viego expected to do underway and which trundle picked already all four of the strongest s-tier kind of junglers which have been prioritized with your ad will be taken away and it's up to yankos what do you want to go for we've seen olaf's we've seen graves being played by wipo and those champions all are very bad into trundle i have to say graves not too not too bad there's a lot of options here for both sides you see fnatic banning out the junglers there's the pike so much respect to hillasang haven't seen it at all this year pretty much and just off the back of two incredibly strong games the pike has to be banned away by g2 so many bot lane bands throughout this whole series you expect viego to perhaps be taken away here unless they want to pivot and look for something to target yankos their banning away counts big supports makes sense to ben brown because they've been picking brown and pike's been the answer all the time leona's still up alistar still up nautilus still up i think that's might be where we're trending towards fnatic can obviously flex his trundle support if they want to definitely g2 of course could look towards something like that lulu as well we've seen lulu tristana have a great game earlier there's the set taken away from the top side of the map and now fnatic have to either blind pick their support or blind pick their top lane here no i think picking top makes sense right they're showing camille oh yeah looks like they're gonna run the mundo the only worry i have for fnatic is if you go a tank top into camille you're also playing an escrow lane in susana so pressuring sides becomes a lot harder with the tf and oh it's the item special it's adam's darius we talked about something to play for in top lane oh baby that's something you can get ahead i mean the weight of the world on this guy's shoulders as well his rookie season in the lec one game away for worlds one game away from finals weekend and you're locking darius what a decision here from fnatic adam has five games of darius this year including you know the eu masters run 80 win rate he's only lost one game but there's the viego coming out for jankos and that's going to be support for g2 now alistar can't be picked into gragas so he expects something like leona to be picked up here unless they want to flex the trundle but i think trumbull going jungle makes the most sense it's on hilasang he has counterpick he sees the entire comp of g2 and he can pick his support leona makes the most sense and there it is so now i think everyone knows which lane needs to be looked at here it's it's top lane darius into camille it's gonna be so volatile whichever one of these champions is ahead it's gonna dictate the game because the darius has a tf behind him and the camille has a rise behind her [Music] everything all your eggs in that top lane basket here alongside that upset playing the ezreal he's currently undefeated on it in playoffs unkilled on it in the two games he's played 14-0-12 on that champion this is the 15th game fanatics played in how many weeks won two weeks yep i've just strayed best of fives you have to remember like fernando played five games against misfits only two days ago they they are more practice than g2 when it comes to stage games in this playoffs but they also have to deal with the exhaustion of playing 15 games in such a short space of time we talked about putting all your cards on the table and that's exactly what fnatic have done adam's darius for game five oh it's all on the line medic let's do a die between these two teams 15 lec titles between them worlds after worlds afterworlds two worlds finals they have been the name on everyone's lips when it comes to european league of legends they have been the names that you talk about when you talk about the best in eu now they have fallen down from that pedestal and only one can make it to worlds g2 versus fnatic best of one starting now [Music] and right out of the gates fnatic looking for a level one they're looking for mickey maybe he's been standing in that bush the whole series long they're gonna see him but i think he's gonna be absolutely fine so fnatic i think that ward it's gonna be good for the bot lane lane phase but now yankos and caps can move into the top side of their jungle and place downwards i think fnatic gonna have to base and pick up a sweeper here okay guys take a break take a second sweepers picked up there on bripo hilasang has one as well we didn't really talk about the gragas pick it's a mickey special young support obviously we do see it around the world but make you very practiced on it was one of the best gragas's on the server for a very long time obviously good into the leona as well because if she's then if blades forward you can body slam her out of the connection make sure she doesn't get in range for her follow-up stun they're gonna get the ward as well so three champions getting the ward gives both solar liners level two on the first wave so after six creeps they'll level up because of the ward xp on both top and mid so g2 should know that and they should be very careful on this first wave especially in top lane both junglers starting leashless as well on the top side of the map in the last few games it's been whippo who's been getting the advantage early on a lot of it due to the pressure that the rest of his team is putting down the priority they have had in lanes but uh whipper has had jankos number at least since game two yeah like you said full clearing bot is all gonna come down to bot priority then you can see wunder has that ward in tribush to cover off any maybe level two shenanigans adam like i said we'll get level two off the wave they have to be careful for it lots of trading in mid this is why the rise picks notorious into the tf kind of outscale you win 1v1 and you can get the push and caps is forcing that already i'm going to level up from that creep but maybe wonder won't expect it but he doesn't go for it wonder giving the respect that's due to adam's darius that's the devil played in the bottom lane mickey going forward as well his song with the aftershock will be tanky enough and rekkles takes the bad end of that trade he has got three pots and a long sword here so expecting to trade quite regularly with upset and hilasang a little bit of trading in all these lanes those junglers still patting down both hitting level three and roughly the same time crab spawning around 45 seconds and notice have the pushing bolts for now but again g2 have the pushing mid very very similar to game one man it's so it's like such a knife i'm just imagining the tension that must be in these players minds as well we talked about it a little bit earlier but upset has been denied worlds in four separate best of fives he's lost four separate best of fives meaning that he hasn't made it to worlds this would be the first time a player of his caliber widely seen as one of the best ad carriers at least top three top four ad carries in europe for a very long time it will be the first time he's ever made worlds if he's able to close this game out of course adam in his rookie season would be going to worlds for the first time as well and i think whatever happens and as i say that adam's roaming mid he has flash caps is getting pinched from both sides i think he might be dead here he has nowhere to run i think maddox can get first blood yeah caps shouldn't burn the flash here he's going to try and trade back onto nisky but there's nowhere for cabs to go no mana for him to kill off this guy the first blood goes over to fnatic yeah so bripo ignored the bot crab jankos thought that he'd see him there but whipple snuck past him and went for the mid gank instead giving up the crab and adam collapsed from top as well so caps really had nowhere to run running back to the lane he would get chased down on flash by so yeah just dice gonna tip you back they lose nothing in the end just a tp on caps i think nisky might have to tv back as well but first blood straight fanatic i wonder holding the wave in the top lane may cause adam to lose out on a little bit of cs but the assist will more than make up for that the wave only just about collapsing in top lane so adam's actually gonna be able to get all of this as well and be equal in cs stun goes down in the bot lane as reckless is forced away by hillary but another strong early start here for fnatic is looking good for them they can keep this momentum going and caps throws mid lane but niski saving his tp for his team so he wants to make sure he can use this global to prevent any kind of plays happening on the sidelines again this tf pick will pay its dividends once again he has to the tps and have ulta again soon two or three minutes when he hits level six and breakfast has no cleanse so if they can get the setup with leona tf having no cleanse i think he's dead i have to see if they're able to do it as you say now cap's going to shove out this wave after freezing at that previous one you can see nisski a little bit behind in terms of csnsky once again just trying to get vision around that mid lane to make sure that he couldn't be caught out by jankos on a gank and the question is now said it in draft top lane has to be a focus here for g2 caps is working his way up here and jankos is in the vicinity getting a little bit of information here caps trying to spot out the raptors we'll put a wall down in the end sees they respawn so he knows whippo's respawn camps for top side and he knows that he'll be there soon mickey's pincering on mid doesn't have a lot of mana but has enough mana for the combo is actually just ignoring that and going towards top so g2 doing the classic picture towards mid while wunder is alone in top he has flash so he should be okay i think wimpo is just covering this wave for crash adam building up that passive as well we'll pull one to back we'll wonder waiting on his all right adam goes in underneath the tower he's gonna die wonder owl trades him in the 1v1 football here as well with the wave and wonder is very low wonder can go back and then tp back in yankos could catch this but he's in the vicinity so wunder should be able to walk back towards this wave under tower adam thought he had the damage with the q flash auto turns out he unfortunately didn't he's going to tp back here to force wonder off another wave maybe he can get the kill wonders being really greedy here wonder going in with hexagonal domain what was that adam he just taped he's back in and wonder dies for him adam fails the first kill but then wonder kind of gives it back to him wunder's gonna have to tp back here now as well whip us around nisky just hit level six if jankos looks for this top play there will be a collapse but look at mickey he's top side as well everyone knows the top side is everything and right now it's gone back into adam's favor after that play from wonder adam now sitting on the iron spike whip getting that kill as well but we're having to flash away here cavs coming in with the real wolf whiskey there with stun card we'll lock up caps and it means that whippo does not get caught with the room prison yeah if you got hit by that w from caps he would have died mickey can flash flash after him so realm warps down adams move down here as well now time for the destiny global's coming in but adam doesn't have flash to get over that wall the queue was zoning him away so that won't turn into anything a lot of contests on this top side adam has to catch the top wave both 80 carries handshaking and farming bots once again so fnatic still with the early lead here about 800 gold ahead but it's been back and forth so far uh looking to see if he can get these early advantages but it's actually behind in cs over yankos because he decided to look for fights instead of looking for those early camps mickey and hillary trading over a control ward but nothing too much going to come out of that importantly for fnatic and for adam no tps on the side of g2 no realm warp available for caps either so it makes it a bit harder for them to really focus down adam in the top lane jankos got a lot of information there he knows wipo is on crux but they don't have camille ultimate so they're not going to commit foreign as well oh a lot of contests around the top side but only three kills this time around normally we see a killer minute both these teams paying respect mostly in this top side is where we've seen the kills and adam going on to wonder once again just a bit short on the decimate there can still trade in of course the passer gives you a lot he's going to pull him back to the outbreak adam brings down the axe adam is taking over the top lane it's his rookie year in the lec against the most achieved top laner we have in europe and adam is smashing him for the second game in a row in terms of lane phase this darius pick is huge into the camille what a way to make a name for yourself from lfl to eu masters champion and now to taking it down a wonder in a pure 1v1 not one not two but three times so far this series adam is on an absolute stormer a thousand one hundred gold ahead here okay yeah 20 cs lead has two plates as well two kills it's stacking up and g2 are gonna have to find a way to bail wunder out of top lane adam is having a fantastic game so far he really is of course dallas can be tricky to play later on you can just get kited depending on how well the enemy team plays it but for the moment adam is fanatic's lead yankross off towards the top side is going to start up this rift held meanwhile the rest of fnatic are pushing in this bottom side you can see reckless and mickey having to give respect to the fact that they are on the weak side of the map adam now finishes stride breaker mythic complete at eight minutes 40. yeah look at the vision g to have towards the top side look how many members they're committing to try and dive at him on this way but look at where adam is he ran to mid he knows something's up on top side because his team's all bottling they're getting three plates on this bot tower and he knows that they're here because the herald fell they're bailing wunder out of this lane phase but they're losing a lot of the cost of it reckless is owned away from the tower he doesn't know where hillasang is two plates over to upset nisky can push in mid upset keeps the push in both and as long as adam's safe they're not gonna lose too much i don't know if they should fight it would be four v three but i don't know if they know caps is based and all the memories of g2 have backed away one is gonna have to go away as well yeah no rift output down but wonder does manage to get a plate so we'll get himself a little bit more gold however adam's still very much in control of that lane important thing is jankos has herald so if you can use that effectively adam has no flash for a little bit longer if they can get towards top you know kill adam get the shot down to wonder and herald top tower then top lane will be stabilized but for now adam taking over the game for fnatic stepping up in the in the fifth game for worlds what a moment to do it the rookie player the 19 year old frenchman really showing up on stage here and this is an announcement card caps was just greedy there shielded drake is going to start him up as well mickey coming in flashes past him and with the igniter with the auto that's enough caps are way too greedy in the mid lane the solar play coming up means mickey has to flash as well and fnatic four kills on the board now hilly playing again with absolutely no fear caps tries to cancel niski's base or hit a tank's base story then he just commits to it levels up off the kill toss out the ultimate instantly to get mickey's flash gets everything out of that play possible adam forcing wonder back once again you have to think if you can stack up the hemorrhage and get a gear team once again it's going to be a french revolution in the top lane as adam continues to force a wonder back for the moment though g2 have been able to stabilize just a little bit however fernan still 2 000 gold ahead the ocean drake in their back pocket as well three minutes on a mountain for them yeah fnatic are winning out on these solo lanes but g2 have all the vision to work with in the top side it feels like g2 have had pinks towards the top side you can see in the mini map right now these pinks have been here for so long on the top side of the map but it just feels like g2 is just losing the lanes in general cap's getting greedy by trying to cancel hillary's base wunder getting greedy trying to kill adam after he tipi's back now it's all slowly backfiring rekkles has even left bot lane at this point maybe they just want to put three members top herald this top tower change up the win condition from wonder to reckless it would make sense as reckless now works his way towards the top side you can see wonder going down towards bottom lane upset will get the push in there uses the true shot prior to clear out the way but upset uh reckless on this top side we've seen what a tristana can do when he's ahead in games so far this series the question is will g2 invest that rift out into him looks like not for the moment cadre fenic have two choices right now defend top keep adam there and just try to manage the weather the storm you know of reckless being top or nisky could look to ult bot and dive wunder with upset looks like for now after pushing up top g2 is going to move their bottle now towards mid maybe they want to just force something in mid and herald it i think team fights could be the way to go and just get out of laning phase as soon as possible oh reckless mickey and yankees have kind of just gone walk about for the last couple of moments playing being around the roses as they walk up and down this river but for the moment rekkles will just jump across the wall and catch this wave as it pushes in could actually let the minions kill off a plate here which he does no one will have got any gold from that plate tillerson has been leaning mid this whole game making sure nisky can keep this push and he's absolutely fine on every single wave mickey has been running up and down the river with the ankles looking for pigs and with this mid push he done unlocks the map for a frenetic on his bot side upset can keep pressuring bots and they can keep this vision around mid that they have now cured rift i would about to time out here on jankos you can see g2 have been a little bit circumspect about where they wanted to put it not quite sure we're now on the top side but you have to feel yankers just going to run up towards top lane chuck this down in the tribush and try and get some gold out of it rekkles is here as well he's actually going to back so janko running out yeah you've got like two seconds to put down this rifle it looks like they're going to go mid instead hillary going in with hex flash mickey is here as well how can they go mid though they don't have a wave fnatic might be able to kill off the herald he's trying to get as close as possible to the tower he's going to place it he'll stay in the trouble doesn't have flash doesn't have anywhere to go tries to get out with the solar flare but rex is going to jump across the wall there's the kill in the sand will fall britto and niska here to defend adam does have tp if he wants to join upset his force underneath his tower in the bottom lane and that with total charging gold goes over the records look at g2 sprinting top they have to deal with adam they have to stop him taking the first tower of the game they get the crab as well and that pick will help you to salvage the map put it in an even state where now mid lane is being pushed back into fnatic nisky is not unlocked on the map and adam can't start pressuring the side lane i think praise the g2 for kind of killing the lane phase you know this camille darius matchup was absolutely doomed after the second kill but they found a way to kind of juggle the map and keep wunder against upset for the last five minutes reckless running up and down the river fnatic yet to respond in the gold pretty much even right now i mean fnatic do still have a thousand gold leads so not quite as even as i thought it was when i first did my math but they are still a lot closer than it was a moment ago destiny coming out that's just being used to look to see if they can catch our wonder on the bot side adam here as well one is going to go in with hexagonal maintenance dodge away from the gold card then flashes away good escape here from wonder nisky looking for another gold card but you can't lock it in time any superb escape from wonder tb from caps to the top lane as well as they look to get him some plates absolutely clean play from one they use the old to count the gold card of course and then uses the queue for move speed flashes away gets the e up in time g2 instantly respond by t being top the dragon's gonna get taken by fnatic and they're gonna match the plates taken top with bot side so it's a win for fnatic because they get the dragon but they lose adam's tp and they lose the destiny it's a complete split map right now dennis played going in there looking for reckless he's gonna be able to jump away importantly though for caps he was a thousand goal behind when that play started he's now been able to pick up at least one plate in the top side so he's closing that gap just a little bit here yeah look at the mini map uh medic you can see full vision towards the top side for g2 and full vision towards the bot side for fnatic just a trade off of tier ones and top and bottom doesn't have the flash remember zenith played went the wrong way there hillerson was expecting one to go one way tower goes down one for one traded so far i think first tower was taken there by upset second tower by capps in the top lane next objective for both these teams is the herald which has just spawned herald with unlock mid tower unlocking mid tower in the early to mid game is essential if you want to start playing for baron and getting the set up and pushing the enemy team back so both teams probably want to contest that adam level 11 now on this darius he hasn't found his way into fights just yet but he still has flash up of course so if he can get in there alongside hillary and get on to reckless and caps he is going to destroy them so g2 need to find a way to peel adam off of them they're starting this herald now there could be a fight around this nikki has tp see whipo has been around but not really involved in a lot of the early players here only 93 damage dealt to champions at the 15 minute mark about 2 000 below the average so struggling a little bit but that hasn't really been his fault as such it's just the way that the game has played out after those early kills from adam g2 have not wanted to take a fight so g2 have decided not to go for the herald in turn they're gonna lose it and top tier one so what they have to do is answer somehow with a bot tower or with a mid tower they need to pressure something because look at caps on the mini map right now he's almost at his nexus gates he has to run all the way around to his tower they're going to push in mid i think they're just going to be able to trade with a bot tower exact same situation as earlier finally get a bot tower and a drake g to get a top tower now dude to get a bot tower trying to get a top tower and a herald the game has settled into a little bit more of a quiet stage here as both teams perhaps a bit tentative about making big plays right now g2 obviously wanting to scale up as fnatic got out to this early lead fnatic now deciding it is time to do something lift comes down in the mid lane and that should be the tower gone niski stepping forward with the gold card locks on to mickey there's a knockback miniski not only the tower cap steps in and the boss goes wide rift head is going to get another charge out of this wonder does have the tp if he wants to join the fray but the sides against it withheld will charge in and be killed before it can find its mark yeah good smite from thank you just to make sure it can't chunk it down always buys you time and always makes it easier the later the game goes hilassang's looking for a pick here yeah he might be in trouble available he has got flash the rest of g2 have to collapse quickly but yankos is down before g2 can get in there and now the flank is on the realm we'll come back with the pillar stops g2's retrieve right in his tracks shutdown comes out for reckless speak he's going to get killed to the officer's side hillary kills off reckless and now fnatic found it they found the moment they were looking for quippo's pillar might have put the nail into g2s coffin it stopped the ultimate and got them three big kills adam died you can see his hands are off the table he's nodding to himself he knows they're in the lead here great play from fnatic they've not backed off after the tower they're making plays you can see reckless already jumping away on the side of your screen because adam's behind him cap stinks he's going to take them to safety but says no it's the pillar that could break g g2 the pillar felt around the world the pillar that could deny g2 their sick worlds in a row and even though reckless was able to pick up a kill fnatic cleaned it up you can see what it means to yamato you can see what it means to fnatic and you can see what it means to reckless once again he leaves his team to join a super team to become a champion and once again he is denied fnatic once again in the driving seats so far ahead right now just because of where the gold is the majority of the gold is on your side laners darius and twisted fate and who's behind on g2 their side laner so fanny can control the entire map and they're two dragons away from soul points one minute on that cloud soul oh that pillar that could be the end of g2 three thousand gold between the two teams we have seen of course even in the series juice will come back for more than this but it's about momentum it's about drive it's about how fnatic are playing together the fact that nisky once again on this twisted fate has two items complete and is a nuisance of terror around the map the fact that hillerson continues to find pick after pick after pick the fact that g2 don't seem to have an answer hillar sang hex flashes in that's not the best position to be in the other force is going to lock him up look at how tanky it is the solidfire going out with the zenith blade will not be enough to keep him alive jankos could look for the zenith player that he stole away but hitler sang will for wonder it's actually pushing in the sideline here looking for that tier two by himself dragging up in 20 seconds here okay drop that's a very big mistake there from hilasang because you're completely right the objective spawning in 15 and g2 upside pressure they're going to take a fight adam has to flash away mickey gets the knockback but only distracts adam and wippo for the moment 10 seconds on that cloud tier 2 in the bottom lane has fallen fanatic now only 2 000 gold ahead whipple trying to shove through this mid lane but that cloud drake will go over 2g to realm what is on the chase looking for bo his former top laner trying to catch him out the room prison should be available but he can't quite get arranged without too speedy the frozen domain will get him out destiny pop though are they looking for they're looking for they're going for regular as well they dive on to him the other fronts will look like him in places with the true shopper match object kills reckless upset kills reckless and you've got to say it twice because it's just that important brethren now on the phone like the hexagonal medium is available for wonder as they go back in caps trying to step in from the side but hillary has rejoined his team after dying earlier their expansion will distract caps can they chase him down flash red card card it's like watching reggie all over again but it's enough to slow down caps and it's enough to kill him up upset on a killing spree yeah the follow-up was enough hilasang might have died but g2 tried to make their own play by trying to catch up wipo they run way too far and they leave reckless all alone he gets picked off the fight ensues from there fnatic pick up more kills and a 4 000 3500 gold lead to boot 20 minutes in the fights are back and forth but fanatic keep getting the advantages look at the difference top lanes 800 gold lead for adam midlane 1 300 gold lead vornisky and bot lane upset picking up those kills puts him 800 gold ahead and medic there's a world here where fnatic win this game caps the world's finalists in 2018 2019 and the semi-finalists last year might not even show up at this tournament whippo was getting called out initially but then the destiny turn around alongside upset reckless has no jump because he tried to commit to the chase stun card connects upset lands the w lands the ultimate from there he's dead mickey has to run away he gets chased down caps thinks he can come and help out the play but he has no flash as well so they just commit on to him red card schmed card doesn't matter he's slowed he's dead you can see fnatic just so willing to continue this chase they get the flash red card they get enough and now they have complete control of this top side jungle dragon up in three minutes time but fanatic might be looking up towards the big purple worm the baron buff their target upset they're gonna start it and look for a turn g2 has to respond this team fight could decide everything one moment one breath one team fight perhaps to decide the series to decide if your season ends today cavs keep being in fnatic starts to turn off at 5 000 hp on the baron take a breath take a moment because hillary is looking for the hex flash has the solar player it misses it goes wide but mickey's still the target knocked back it's not going to be enough mickey's down already and now with the destiny you can see can continue to chase this reckless the target for him ever frost stun card reckless rooted pillar of phil brown walk coming out recklessly wow oh he have ran him out of the flipping realm and it works for fanatic adam once again with the clutch moment for his team fnatic are not gonna let you get away once you're in the jaws you're in the stomach flying get three members of g2 and they're gonna get the baron as well two times g2 try to run away two times for the next same no and adam once again in the moment his team needs him he steps up this guy's a flipping rookie is 19 years old and he is taking his team to worlds oh the turn was a little bit shaky at the start from fnatic because hillary misses the old but they managed to single out one target and it's mickey tries to use the alt to proc the aftershock to live and once he dies g2 once again have to run the destiny is popped nisky comes from behind uses the ever frost initially into the stun card cap stinks he can get him away this time but no says adam what a performance from fnatic so coordinated as well this mid game so strong from them g2 have not found an answer in the last three games now a 5 000 gold lead for fnatic two and a half minutes on at the baron for them as well and you can see g2 now looking for something they think perhaps they can catch adam off in a side lane no real warp available for caps though to re-establish map control because they took this baron g2 can get out onto the river first and they have control adam has no flash g2 are probably going to commit to this no looks like they're just going to take the pink and back away but now the know exactly where you are adam knocks across the wall counts with the other cross adam's gonna get put down at the destination on the front line now he's all on his loan some heartbreak to try and get away but whip us on the chase flash subjugate bring it down the hammer as there's another kill over to fnatic whippo chasing down yankos forward the pillar available cap slowed up caps hit with a mystic shot hit with the essence [ __ ] hit with the gold card and that's enough for fnatic two more kills for them and with the batman buff they can look to push in this bot way bot lane way g2's coaching staff shaking their heads they know this game is in such a bad situation caps one and six right now he can't find anything on the map and fnatic can find absolutely everything that's gonna be a mid-tier two caps is dead they're gonna get bot tier two as well this gold lead is just gonna keep escalating and getting worse and we're on the precipice of something incredible here g2 missing worlds getting knocked out from contention for the first time in the organization's history two years ago they were in finals last year they were in the semis they have been europe's hope for the last three four years or so and now fnatic are knocking on the door of knocking them out the inhibitor tower the target 24 minutes in fnatic have an 8 000 gold lead and g2 could do nothing about it adam at the helm at the helm fnatic at the helm as they break through they batter through the base of g2 what does g2 have left is the big question adam's going in just needs the guillotine brings it again and mickey's down and that wonder down towards the bottom so it's going to have to run away from him saying they could just win it here banana could just lock worlds here mad and rogue wait next week but we know it's all about rogue and oh what about worlds as fnatic decide to back away g2 still stepping forward but upset just has so much damage on this ezreal g2 backs against the wall reckless back against the wall fanatic push them to their nexus tower as they're going to take an inhibitor for now but boy are they not done just yet in this game almost just over an 8 000 gold lead now four fnatic dragons up that's gonna be the next objective for them it should be pretty free they have all the vision in the world to work with items being completed fnatic are ready to take it home it started with fnatic eu lcs champions year after year after year only lost one of their first eight title contentions to alliance then g2 came in in 2016 and they took fnatic down a peg they became the kings of europe the team that everyone wanted to beat and then this year madd and rogue have risen up they are the new kids on the block and it's g2 and fnatic fighting over table scraps fighting over that single world position currently fnatic are in the advantage fnatic have control of the game the question is can g2 find anything any way to get back in and the trust fnatic had in putting whipple in the jungle and bringing adam in after the eu masters win and putting him in the top lane phenomenal showing by both of them specifically what can she do to to win i don't know the destinies pop the siege begins the dives coming in hot mickey's gonna get pulled back they're not seeing it he's gonna be enough to take the kill caps already pop the stopwatch upset just diving forward caps is down caps is dead and perhaps with it g2's hopes of any chance in the world spot second inhibitor is going to go down as fnatic look for the wind they have a bodyweight whiskey flashes in reckless has to flash away reckless trying to get away from his former team the team that he left to join g2 at fnatic they don't care that you're not with them anymore they will take you out they will lock you down yankoff's dead g2 dead wonder able to get one kill on the back line for fnatic still four members strong will rip it right back in and rip away any hope they had of making it to worlds fanatic will join man and rogue at worlds but europe and g2 are going home fnatic make it through the world oh they're all screaming they're all so happy what a moment of elation for fnatic the fan favorite was g2 but the winners are fanatic upset finally conquers the demons of worlds and he makes it there the fifth best of five and he puts in a statement series and now we won't see caps we won't see reckless we won't see g2 at worlds this year for europe we use it perhaps too much but it's the end of an era like the g2 here is dead and gone they don't even make it into finals weekend they have done that every single time and you can see the elation on fnatic space take a bow good men because what a performance after they started to fall behind in game three and lost that game i thought that was going to be the story of the series but they fought and they fought and they fought and they took it to g2 every single player stepped up upset had an amazing series niski stepping up showing that he's one of the best mid laners in europe especially on that twisted face pick whipple roll swapping his first split and he manages to take down g2 alongside adam in his rookie year his rookie split in the lec gets the better hand of wonder and the mad scientist of hillesan brings it all together he brought the pike out like they had to invest a ban on pike they had to invest more than one bad medic there was about four or five support ventures just absurd stuff from fnatic congratulations of course to them for the win kia play of the series votes at lec on twitter just give it to all five of them like come on let's be honest i mean adam nisky and upset are your options but give them each one i'll draw it on paint we could just award it to each of the players because they each had so many individual standout moments and when the pressure was on you can see just what it means to fnatic they're going to worlds yeah and the next week's best of five will decide whether they're going through planes or to groups but no matter what worlds is locked for now and the smiles on fnatic they're so relieved they're so happy it's great to see it really is of course commiserations to g2 you see you saw them leave the stage uh down harder there were some fist bumps around but no nowhere near the elation that we come to expect g2 the joviality that you come to expect from g2 fnatic were better on the day and they deserve their spot representing europe at worlds what man so like every time you get a series like this just done at the end of it we have we have two more we have two more we have two more that's not the finals oh that was just for a world spot fanuc still have two best of fives ahead of them if they want to win the entire thing adam didn't even know they could still win the nec a few days ago he thought they were in no they could best finish third place i did love that he tweeted he doesn't even know if they can win the lec thought they were out oh boy you're not out there's still a lot left to go man look at that upset four times one best of five away from worlds so often overlooked as one of europe's great 80 carries his name was always there but it was always like what accolades has he got he's never won a final he's never made it to worlds he's never represented europe in an international competition yeah everyone's like it's upset one of the best 80 carries in europe because he kept falling short they finished 10th place in origin one year later he's going to worlds one of the star players of fnatic and the trust of that academy of course the shoes he had to fill the amount he stepped up this year in this split is unreal to see the wife buff is real it really is yamato of course going back towards as well after his performance in 2018 with vitality one of the great european underdog stories that group with genji cloud9 and rng where they almost made it out well finally going to worlds they have whip on hillary very veteran players who have been to the finals but now you have adam rookie player he's going to worlds in his first blind the lec you love to see it upset's making it there niski's going back he went with c9 i believe yep um 2019 i think with uh the blabber lineup yep yep whoa that was an incredible performance the telestrator still says kia player of the game we did say that earlier but i'm going to say it again you keep playing the game uh play of the series votes at lec on twitter are adam niskin upset adam had a fantastic series they all had a fantastic series i already don't know which one to vote for you guys can decide i do think this ski's uh pressure that he had in the mid lane really accelerated the game for fnatic we have tons of more lxt conduct coming up as laura is checking in with upset and hillary and adam and eve will be joining us in the post-game lobby we'll see you guys then bye-bye next week we've got more oh yeah [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] even though league of legends is not a physical sport there's the same eagerness and nerves before every single esports match then i had the same in swimming it was always about getting closer to a new high that you can reach an endless pursuit of perfection even though i've come so close i don't feel bad about it if i work harder it is going to happen kia movement that inspires [Music] okay [Music] you know [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] welcome back to the lec fnetic will make it to worlds as they defeat g2 esports and we can watch the winning moments right now from the team a couple minutes ago and upset thank you so much for joining me how do you feel right now i feel really overwhelmed i honestly can't even describe it it doesn't even feel too real right now i've been trying for such a long time yeah to go to worlds and i always felt like i was good enough to be in a team that can make it there and something never really quite worked out for me even though i was close many times and this time in playoffs we had a talk and i said it's so important that we will be strong mentally and everyone really believed into the idea and even when we had difficult days we came into the match day and made sure that everyone was ready to go all the way and i'm so proud of my team that we managed to pull through in game five three times in a row it's honestly like a movie and i want to thank my team and also my wife of course she has been so supportive and i don't think i could have done it without her giving me the mental strength and also my family of course and i'm just very happy right now i still can't really believe it but yeah i'm just feeling very proud of my the people supporting me i can imagine and you've been working so hard for this and you you talk about the mental preparation and how to stay calm on the d-day i want to say and it went it went to five games here and i mean we knew what was at stake a waltz ticket but also fnatic facing jets will come on together like spot it's i think it's the best story we could have had but um i'm just wondering how how you guys managed to stay so calm and mentally reset after each game to come back creative and be even stronger because i feel like yeah you you got stronger throughout the series today upset uh well we felt like that times the enemy teams were winning in playoffs was when we grieved it really hard and the times where we would win it was when we didn't throw elite so it wasn't like we got stomped and we didn't know what happened we had a clear idea and we had very good ideas of how to approach next game mentally like if we get ahead we can chill a bit we don't need to run it down so hard and everyone took a lot of confidence in this i think once we got ahead even it looks like we need to lose two games first so people can like chill a bit but once we reach this point it feels like people are like playing for their life and this is when we shine and we come up huge and yeah my teammates showed up so big today so i'm just really proud of them tell me about the defining factor in game what made you the better team when you think about the teams the composition you had the way you guys played the way g2 played i felt like they were playing kind of desperate with their jungle to help their lanes a lot and i'm not sure why but the jungle was falling behind the lord trying to pressure lanes but the lanes didn't really crack i think everyone on our team played a super solid laning phase and ripper capitalized so well and then led the game a lot and everyone just felt like we knew what we want to do when we got ahead in the games that were really important let's say uh so yeah i think this gave us a lot of confidence throughout the game and made us the better team today tell me about the darius last week i picked during the last game i guess it was an add-on id yeah adam just wanted to play darius because it seemed like a good match up into camille so he just picked darius and yeah he really smiled today so i'm really happy about that of course and we'll see him in a couple minutes in pgl but before that upset you talked about this you you were so close to richwold a couple times 2018 2019 you missed out on waltz and now now it's finally here after four years of you playing on stage and you finally made it so what does it mean to you um it means everything to me because i've been waiting for this moment for so long like i said and i'm just happy to be in a group of people that shows up when it's important and we all support each other in the important moments we had so much trust in our team to first-time champs even today and just make sure we we believe in each other and that's more important than maybe picking the best champ in a moment or something and i think it really shows throughout the games that we stayed calm and we managed to pull through and yeah that's just a very fulfilling feeling because after all it's a team game you can think you're super good individually but you don't win games alone it's always the team and i'm just so happy i'm on the side of the better team today what are you looking forward to the the most when it comes to world championship of course you could still start from play-ins we don't know that we'll see about that next week in the playoffs but yeah any expectations so far given the teams that already qualified uh well i always felt very confident in my ability especially with silly so maybe i would like to get some reality check from maybe some from fbx or something if they qualify some chinese league of legends i would like to experience first hand and see how we stack up that would be fantastic but as i said before that you still have maybe a last step to climb last uh next week in playoffs you're still running for the first place we'll all see how about that but um given the the way you guys played lately the team's remaining rogue and mad lions how do you see next week developing for you uh well i think if it goes to five games we will win let's say that the five game above upset well for now congratulations on taking down g2 today thank you so much for the interview and your time and we'll see you next week and for now that's all on this side of this studio we're going to take a quick break and we'll be back in a couple minutes for the post game lobby stay tuned [Music] [Music] [Music] you
