G2 vs. FNC - Week 6 Day 2 | LEC Summer Split | G2 Esports vs. Fnatic (2021)

[Music] i mean i already know i'm getting a lot of flack for whatever is going on in g2 he will try to farm and he won't be the reason his team loses but he will neither be the reason that his team wins and i think that's one of the big questions on a lot of fans minds is reckless doing enough for this g2 lineup in these big games for sure also my spot wouldn't be guaranteed by any means if i'm failing this summer i wouldn't be surprised if g2 considers having someone else in my place and i know for sure if it'll make worlds that's gonna be even worse there's a lot of things on the line it feels like g2 is not very used to losing you have two choices to come back stronger out of it and learn a lot or to crumble as a team and i've experienced both i hope they can turn it around so we will have a good match the times when you come together as a team is when you're losing i think when you're winning it's easy to forget why you're winning in the first place paranoia is absolutely you have the touch to go wherever you please it's gonna be made and it's gonna be met indeed good knocker by some time it feels like we are really a team right now and everyone is doing their part we have a lot of creativity in our place you know they're starting the bar and they're so fast they can actually deny vision with the nocturne and they're doing this right now it's gone we had a new rising star in the top lane adam the thing with adam is his willingness to die is what i love about this guy the showstopper is still available he gets the dunk down adam is finally taken out as now the rest of fnatic have arrived the knocker from hillesack sends vitality to the fountain i just really like the way that fanatic is playing recently whatever chooses to do the whole fanatic will pile up and go with the same coal and that's probably what g2 is going to have to work around because whip is also very aggressive and that can be heavily punished by caliber of players in d2 that are so quick to punish mistakes he alongside g2 can find their form again as he now finds the 1v1 against han summer and a classic happy bee this reckless jumps towards larson that's a lot of damage reckless is dominating you've been here for so long and you are still you know performing at such a high level that's got to feel good yeah i think i still got it big arrows coming in arrows finding kills would you two taking the fight they take out jessica white knight steals a form but it's not enough wonder and reckless versus the world g2 have now gone two and zero the um stories of their demise were greatly overblown it was a long time ago since i felt so happy in a team setting here in g2 it feels like the losses are kind of like pulling us together which is a very different feeling after losing spring split we were very desperate to prove ourselves but that desperation kind of showed in our gameplay and that's just not who we are that's not who g2 is i mean that's always the goal of course to become the fanatic of all that was dominating the league but it's still a long way ahead it would feel good for sure to kind of push the two out of playoffs i think g2 is one of the teams that can probably beat us on our way to winter to win lc and it would be really good to get them just off no matter what form either of these teams are in it is always a thrill to watch g2 and fnatic go toe to toe and welcome back to the lec g2 fanatic a song as old as time really here in the lec fifteen titles out of the 17 ever earned in europe between the two of them eight on one side seven on the other and currently for the first time in a long time i think favors swing towards fnatic as they seem to be the dominant of the two teams the names on the rosters may be different but a battle of kings it's oh no he said it already forever b i promise only to say it once but still here in europe how can you not be excited to watch these two titans clash whenever they match on the rift both look pretty good after yesterday's performance and we're not going to waste any more time we're going to be jumping straight into a boogie where we will then come back to me as we look at yamato i got baited a little bit by the music um but yes we will have uh g2 on the blue side fanatic on the reds the last time that they matched up it was fanatic that got the better of g2 and very rarely do we ever see fnatic two zeroing g2 during the regular season often it is g2 gets the better of them they often get the better of them in playoffs and their recent history over the last two years has been g2 favored but with the way that fnatic are looking with the changes that they have made with the introduction of adam to the top lane bowipo in the jungle this team has been incredible over the last few weeks over only one loss in their last eight to nine games it's been incredible to watch this fanatic rise and we will see how they'll match up against the g2 that perhaps is rising to form once again let's get on into the draft as you said betty fnatic went 0-2 5-0 0-1 and now are 4-0 they've only lost to schalke since week one here in the lec and we're all our way through to week six g2 on the other hand have had their ups and downs but in the last two weeks they have looked like a team perhaps not quite reborn perhaps not quite back at the g2s of old but a team that looks a lot more renewed than it did in the middle of the season on the blue side though they will ban out the zinzow no real surprises there yeah they're gonna remove this in the varus is gonna be taken away from reckless we know that he is an avid tristana play yesterday we got to see him play kalista but that's going to be banned away removed from upset we know how dominant upset hillary can beat when given the callista plus anything combo because it gives hillary a new way to fight and he loves to fight cap's not going to get his hands on the leblanc and the viego now gonna be removed from whippo in the jungle and we'll see what fnatic decide to finally round out their bands with of course camps and reckless staring across at their couple of their former teammates at their former team at least as nisky and upset have replaced them gwen the final ban and what's left up on the cards here well thresh has to be at the key point that you look at banned pretty much every single game and picked first whenever he is not well we do know that naulist is a pretty strong answer to it wouldn't surprise me to see that come out for hillary but we also know that he is no stranger to things like the pike not that i'm saying that that is going to be locked in but i do know that he does quite like this matchup as well still many options left for them to go towards see what direction they do still take the tristana is actually going to be denied away from reckless so already trying to get themselves a pretty strong bot side of the map i don't think that in the current meta with things like varys band away and callister taking off the board as well there are that many great matchups into the tristana i'm curious as to what direction reckless will take oh okay i'm gonna say it's jungle mundo jungle that's what i think immediately has a sly look on his face would it be wide mundo in the jungle adam does like a little bit more aggression and immediately g2 esports ready and raring to go with epics diana lucian are locked in for g2 nothing too crazy uh very common mid lane pick for caps he's very confident on it and you have the apad jungle ad split as well lucian often able to give you a lot of priority in the lane too i'm curious as to what nisky will answer with if you even will just yet oh i think that is an irelia for nisky level three level six both big eyed or level break points rather that i think can be very difficult for the lucian but of course with his mobility the way for him to navigate and dance around that stun can be very difficult so a very interesting matchup in the mid lane caps versus nisky it's it's definitely going to be a fun one whichever gets an early lead is going to very heavily dictate how that 1v1 plays out and i'm already loving the small mind games the small bits of inventiveness in this draft have to remember last time they played against each other it was really the taric pick for hillar sang that totally changed the draft on its head g2 esports just couldn't find a way through the wall that was hillasang and now fnatic banning out their fellows getting rid of some of those ad carries of course as much as g2 have a marksman on their team in the lucian that will be going either mid or top that's what we expect we'll see g2 esports pick something else for reckless in the bottom end usually with a thresh team him up with a hyper carry the felios one of those key ones jinx also an option i think the fellow spam was really good especially when you're looking at both emundo and aurelia wanting to dive in your face uh having the aphallos it would have been very obnoxious for them and as you really said it pairs up so well with the thresh too i was thinking ash i was literally thinking ash this morning i think is underplayed uh i think that she is still a very strong ad carrying the current meta and i know it's something the reckless uh does have a lot of experience on so i also like this band coming out from fnatic as well can i in the back of my mind i'm thinking vayne for g2 only because rekkles has played like 34 solo queue games on it recently and into a mundo it will shred through the mundo the issue is of course you lose lane into a tristana and the irelia can just jump on but i'm just going to put it out there because if it gets better argument i sound really smart it is i understand where the logic comes from i get it i would just be surprised if if he picked vayne i feel like that he's not the type of player to do it i think that he's gonna pick something a little bit more well-rounded for his team but he is very limited in his options like what does he really have left to go for a lot of the main meta 80 carries have been removed oh he does it come on [Laughter] i might have been a bit loud there i saw mickey and yankos both look over towards me oh baby all right we're gonna get reckless vape i hope you've got the stats prepped i hope you're getting them i'm getting them because we need to know the last time rekkles had a vaingame on stage i want to say it was a while ago i mean i have seen him play it a lot on stream he is a very very good vain player but i was not expecting him to bring it out against these champions a hyper carry against mundo i think is very very strong pair that up with the front line of the gragas it also gives g2 a little bit more of an engage are we going to see a lilia lock in from no way is that top lane lilia we've been talking about it whippo karthus jungle instead i think the mundo is going to be flex the top karthus goes into the jungles irelia top carthage mid i mean that could also work but i think carthage jungle makes the most sense all right okay it looks like the whippo is gonna try and outscale the hypercarry and go for a karthus jungle he wants to try and match the farming presence of yankos and this is the power of the mundo right it is a flex pick this is what fnatic was saving it for adapting depending on what the draft came out wonder decided to go for a tank adam knew that he could match it up towards the top side nisky and caps a bit of a skill match up in the mid lane early prior should definitely go in favor of caps and you have these two hyper carriers in the bot lane vane is gonna be so difficult for this comp to deal with but perhaps the karthus could be the thing that swings it in fnatic's favor that karthus ultimate can swing a fight single-handedly diana wanting to dive into this team composition wanting to execute these champions could that be g2's own undoing we have very interesting comps we're going to have purple on his karthus we're going to have reckless on his vein what better way for the rematch of summer in 2021 g2 esports versus fnatic our final game of week six you know it's gonna be a banger we're here waiting for it to be a banger so without further ado let's jump into the rift problem always is when you say without further ado without further ado fnatic versus g2 let's get on into the rift [Music] and on to summoners if we go adam on the mundo looks like they're going to try and catch out mickey here vayne all time 12 and 2 here for rekkles but mickey is the focus flash in by hillasang mickey has nowhere to go one more auto attack from upstate will be enough first blood fanatic well not the start the g2 was looking for but upsets quite happily going to take that one in a two versus two that already for the tristana should be very comfortable now one of the big things about this two versus two matchup in the bot lane is of course you know the supports alistair not that great getting prior in the early laning phase thresh can really assist especially a champion like vayne being able to control we often see whenever uh reckless streams the vein that he likes the hail of blades uh the the ability to very quickly proc the silver bolts passive especially in lane gives you a lot of power uh and it's something that we're likely going to see leveraged a lot in the 2v2 very early on but once the sun gets a couple levels especially once upset gets a couple levels and given that he has an item advantage wouldn't be surprised to see this fnatic bot lane look to get aggressive against the g2 one i do really love seeing reckless on an 80 carrier that can just purely hypercarry like the vane because he and upset have always had this back and forth upset when he joined the league said i'm reckless just more handsome and less passive in lane it's constantly being this argument of can upset actually ever rise to reckless level because reckless is the best adk we've ever had in europe if you just look at his record and you look at what he's been able to achieve in this split he continues to impress however upset does challenge him and right now fnatic are in a much better position than g2 i also think the upset needs to be in the conversation for mvp he has been so solid for fnatic this split and has been a consistent reliable factor whenever it comes to fanatic wins um but a lot of mvp performances and how could we talk about that without talking about the two junglers for both sides yankos and whippo yesterday they had incredible performances yankos really popping off on his lease in and wipo doing the same on his viego both going for more of the farming style junglers where they're trying to get to six as quickly as possible and you can see that they're doing a full clear from top through to both i'm curious as to how bripo is going to adapt his path because you can see that he does not have prior maid he does not have prio in bot so how will this battle for the scuttle crab result a big thing about yesterday's gameplay from both these junglers is how much time they spent around their teammates as well you can see both of them above 50 jungle proximity the average is around 44 to 45 that shows how much time those junglers spend near their teammates between the two and the 15 minute mark and it shows if these junglers can get towards their team they can get ahead expectations are that both of them will want to farm just a little bit more in this game you can already see jankos going for this bot side scuttle crab whippoo is on the bottom side as well and you'll wonder if uh mickey will escort jankos up here to look for the double scuttle denying grippo one of those camps well we uh sorry i'm like we know that uh whippo where he was g2 also know where buppo just was because they dropped that ward and spotting him out on the grom which means that that gives the anchors plenty of time to be able to move up towards the top scuttle and get the double scuttle crab which is great for these farming junglers jankos using his prior in mid and bot to be able to get this early advantage and that means that whipple will be a little bit behind in the farm department it looks like that he's going to pass towards top see if there is an option for him to secure that grab but there will not be so yankos now likely looking to get a reset in and in that window whipple is then going to try and steal the respawn of the gromp he's going to drop this ward yank is going to have that information and it's mainly just a trade and battle of information coming back and forth right now between the two junglers and for the moment for now just keeping about 400 gold lead from that first blood and from some cs in the bottom lane upset managing to farm relatively well there's about five minions pushing in here so rekkles will be able to catch some back but of course vayne not the longest range ad carry in the world can struggle on wave player early on all of her damage is single target and so reckless will just try and farm this one up underneath the tower very true so you can see that he is about wave down so he has fallen a little bit behind upset but it looks like that uh rekkles did go for a very early reset which is likely where upset was able to gain that small advantage upside now going back to base gonna get himself the moon quiver so this early game has stayed relatively even outside of course the first blood which upset was able to get onto mickey i think that's kind of the expectation you you talked about the junglers wanting to get to that level six diana is so much stronger when she has the moonfall of course karthus requiem we've all seen the power lasers from the sky and how much damage they can do and that's really what whipple will be looking for both the mid laners have been left a little bit on an island as well and caps has been able to get himself a sizeable about three wave cs lead here over nisky he has had to burn his teleport to do so though uh yeah i think nisky did a similar thing where he went for an early reset got himself the uh doran's blade and then came back to lane with the sustain now he's likely to use the tp they could be looking for a play bot oh nice interrupt there from caps uh just gonna buy a little bit more time he does have the culling if he really wants to be super obnoxious but i think misky wants to basically can look for a tp play but they have one ward sitting in the tribe adam doesn't really have anywhere to go but the sadism he leveled up from the minions that died as he was flying through the air adam gets the sadism just in time to survive upset has to burn the cleanse as the hook landed in the mid lane niski burnt his tp as well just to farm up this wave he's gonna force caps away but the flawless duet can be dodged away from lucky stuff there for adam wonder knew that he had the level advantage and with the hp that adam had he saw an opportunity to get a solo kill but just as the ultimate comes through adam gets himself level six as able to survive the encounter meanwhile on the bot side upset forced to use the cleanse after a good hook comes out from mickey and once they saw the diana they knew that they were in some danger but no blood will continue to be drawn the kill score still remains with fnatic slightly favored bripo knows that this gromp is here remember jankus didn't do it earlier but now the junglers will meet adam's on his way as well has the flash remember wonder doesn't have ultimate with bow and yankos trading in smite goes down jankos gets it wonder trying to trade onto whitbow adam flashes across the wall and jankos will be killed off whippo will fall as well he flashes caps has a flash to follow up wonder takes a dark harvest caps goes in caps now needs to get away from adam but adam can just chase him down another briefcase connects around the minions adam bending the bullets two kills to mundo great punish here from fnatic and great awareness they knew that yankos had not cleared that gromp from the red ward that was dropped so much earlier in the game uh and then once jankos came back to it he wasn't expecting the fanatic top jungle to be there they end up collapsing on them they get the damage out because jankos was forced to flash and adam could chase him and that meant that they were able to get that killed jankos now respawned adam knows that he's here he's just going to act as spoiler of course with the smite's still up very likely that it's not going to result on anything we're going to have a quick look back at this so yankers puts himself in a very awkward position we're both just standing here dealing a bunch of damage adam it's like he's locked on with these briefcases landing every single hit jankos knows that he can't commit to the fight but then the moment that the flash comes through wonders like okay i've got to trade kills at this point he decides to try and give the kill over the caps and whippo uses that window really good q on to wonder means that he can't rejoin the fight caps has to flash over as well which cost him his life as well another good uh briefcase landed by adam to secure themselves another kill so now fnatic put themselves in a 1k gold advantage cg2 trying to isolate adam by himself whipple has the requiem now adam no flash has already used to say there isn't a hillary behind the wall here gonna get condemned into the war but mickey and reckless don't want to go in because they don't know where the jungler is adam though dived on by yankos and adam will be shut down caps gets the kill okay so a lot of the action happening as a result of the junglers somewhat as we expected fnatic very aggressive in the early game often looking for skirmishes and fights but when we see them playing this karthus they're a little bit more reserved they're quite happy to allow whipper to scale up and then use their often lane dominant individuals to combine with the karthus ultimate you can see that football already has a level advantage knowing where jankos was he started on the bot side gank goes up towards the top reckless and mickey playing very defensive knowing that they don't really have that much uh support from the rest of the team and rekkles is actually going to take the red buff because they know the risk of this being stolen given that yankers is securing the herald right now i love the fact that we talked about getting to level six starting to see plays and immediately when both these teams get there they know where their power is they try and play around it wipo only with two assists but adam with two kills in his back pocket is having a storm of a time against wonder i saw a tweet from him earlier was in french so i apologize if i butchered the translation but he was talking about how it's about proving that he can play against g2 on the stage he's very hyped for today and that he wanted to show that he isn't just a good player but he's a player that can really challenge g2 on the lec stage at the moment he's definitely doing that two one and one on this mundo i mean we talked about it right different names but the orgs are still the same uh whenever you watch fanatic and g2 play regardless of the rosters it's always going to be an exciting one that's for sure and adam has fit very well into this fanatic roster i like your statement that his willingness to die that the player is full of confidence right now a big conversation for rookie of the split for adam and uh yeah a lot of question marks around his addition to the roster but i think that he's proven his value time and time again especially with some of his unique picks like the olaf as well i don't think i'm trying to prove his value in the mid lane here but wonder already on his way down hillerson's gonna head butt away to a minion and we'll manage to escape okay ten minutes in betty have a quick look at where we are in terms of state of the game 500 gold between the two teams the dragon in fnatic's back pocket but the rift has already been picked up by yank and i'm curious as to where he chooses to use that right now two plates have been dropped top side but you don't really want to funnel that gold into wonder one option the g2 could have is swapping their bot line up towards top and then the cross mat play could happen from the side of fnatic with a trade bot tower in exchange for the top one alternatively yank us could look to pass towards bots and then try and drop this herald there to invest more uh money into the vein i think that one strong play they could do is unlock the lucian though get him opened up on the map a little bit more get caps roaming around and try and funnel more resources into the mid laner who's already quite strong and build this advantage over the irelia so that she doesn't have the same threat in a side lane as she often can have for the moment who's just trying to the chase is coming on his way adam is on his way doesn't have the flash but nisky does the van goghs coming out there's a moonfall as well hitler saint john's afraid but jacob's able to get away with the lantern and caps somehow still alive here's the requiem is it going to be enough it's cancelled wonder comes in with a cask from the gods to stop whippo bringing down the lasers so much just happened in that sequence of events and i i don't wanna break it down now i want the replay because like there were so many individual things that resulted in nothing really happening uh but such great awareness from both teams no major gold gains are going to be swung either side caps is going to be forced to reset jankos now in some serious trouble but he's not going to get collapsed on hillary he's he's going to do the collapsing because captain's just tp'ed in mickey's on his way reckless has the lantern as well perhaps gale force available culling available miniski there to block it hillary flashes away how is everyone getting out on such low hp whipper with the flash as well and now you have to think that calls for a reptile here from jankos they'll clear out the wave and there goes the rift i very much agree with the medic this is the play because now they've delayed fnatic's backs by so much caps could very well get the entire turret right now he wants to make sure but the tp's gonna come through so that's gonna mitigate any real push that likely will be another plate for both jungle and mid for g2 oh my word let's have a look back at essential play so jankos a little overstepped here but he does have the support from the lucian he didn't expect this slow to be able to connect and watch here so the thing to pay attention to is nisky he knows that he can flash all and look at how the alistar is being kept at bay by mickey they're just trying to zone each other off then the lantern comes through to take ganks just barely to safety then the initial engage from hillary taking up this damage then this guy gets very low do you think they can go for the reengage and then wonder ease over the wall into ultimates to interrupt the play just so many individually uh great stuff from both sides the flash ult from nisky that should have been a kill if it weren't for mickey's positioning there hillasang delaying the collapse from the rest of g2 great stuff early on in the game low kills but you can see still a lot of action uh and we're only 13 minutes in i mean you always promised an incredible game when you see g2 and fnatic upset was waiting here hilasang still has the unbreakable will mickey and reckless will just chunk him out just you're guaranteed action let's have a look at where we are in terms of relative gold a thousand gold difference between upset and reckless that's plates in the bottom lane and ate the kill of course in the mid lane though 700 gold in favor of caps as well he already has that gale force complete he is a level down on niskanen a level usually about 600 gold worth of stats overall we're reaching first items for both sides i'm really curious as to what reckless will go for usually he does take the kraken slayer for like maximum damage but i have seen many veins like the shield uh in the event of the fear that you're going to get dived you know if you want a little bit more survivability and she really does take a lot of value from the um lifesteal as well i'm also thinking requiem is just so powerful in that sort of situation a shield bow can give you that bit of extra protection hex drink and not as strong as it used to be cab scale forcing it looking for whipper but somehow once again he's out alive jankus look for him there's wonder with the cask they'll take one and now g2 really want this fight requiem coming out that's beyond the grave and there's a pause i think it's a fanatic pause i see the referees talking to them but what a moment to pause the game oh my words the aggression coming out from g2 there the collapse i believe they were fighting over the blue buff as well but the immediate tp from wonder you can see that both teams are just on form for this match-up but this could be a huge team fight depending on what the cause of the pause was oh goodness my words yes so like usually when we talk to players like you can pause but try not to do it right in the middle of a team fight because like if something has happened obviously it's something urgent that has happened there's gonna be a situation where nisky like couldn't move yeah that's that's that's my point right otherwise usually you will say you know pause when's action isn't happening if you need it but this is obviously something that is urgent for hillary saying it looks like does fnatic have paused the game but like you can just see how on top of that game these guys are right like we've seen a few missteps we've seen a few blunders but most of the time it's been outplay after outplay rather than miss play after miss play here between fnatic and g2 it certainly has just i really loved what both junglers were doing in the early game the way in which jankus uses prior to be able to get the early double scuttle then buppo knowing that jankos needed to reset drop the ward onto the gromp then both him and adam contested that gromp which is where they got those initial two kills from and then the way in which g2 made sure that they were able to then cross map back they immediately went back to top lane adam had no flash so they looked to try and punish it converted that into a rift herald which then after finding a crazy fight in mid converted into the mid tier one the gold has stayed so even because while all this top side action has happened upset has just been using the range advantage in the matchup advantage to build cs leads and gold leads over reckless he's sitting with a one well a little less than that now mainly because reckless literally just got a kill but assuming that um we go back a little bit upset had such a huge plate advantage over reckless that he was just getting more and more gold so like advantages were trading across the board the game was staying very even and it really was about when was going when were we going to see that fight that broke open the game when were we going to get that moment that really swung the game in a certain direction and this very well could have been that moment so do you think that if the game swings here the compositions are such that one team should just be able to take control of it say either team gets like an ace so either team gets four or five kills out of this do they then just have a total hold on the game or do you see those avenues back for their opposition it's a hard question well i think uh it's because the comps are quite comparable in my opinion so like when i look at finance comp they have a very solid front line in the form of adam and hilla sang with aleister and dr mundo you then put a tristana on top of that tristana's long range especially in the late game what is really threatening the tristana or what a diana maybe um and then maybe if a gragas can flash on top the tristana has like a good front line and can buffer her jump to escape right and then there's a karthus on top of that yeah so like yeah there's an irelia there who's mainly going to be the person that you have to focus at the beginning of the fight because she's going to be diving in so like on paper you kind of look at it and you sit there and go okay well sure i can see that from fanatic but the moment you put a vein into the equation and then you add a lotion on top of that well no longer is this about diving the back line it's a front to back cop now what your goal is to just basically kill whatever comes towards you um and if they don't come towards you you have a lot of tools to actually force picks yourself the uh the thresh and the grag ass are both excellent at creating disruption chaos within a team fight because the hook lands mickey goes in his alt comes down and all immediately fnatic could be split up a gragas ultimate immediately fanatic could be split up and then you just focus the target that is straight in front of you and then you get that initial kill so that's why i think like almost like domino's cascading effect for g2 if they can find those single pages right and so what i would say is like initially on paper it kind of looks like fnatic maybe have a slight scaling advantage but i don't think it's as straightforward as that and i think that mainly because of the addition of this vein there's also a diana the double lady carry like i think that g2 have very good scaling and they have a lot of tools to combat what fnatic have which is why i think a lot of this will come down to um a lot of this will come down to execution uh and uh why this game is so exciting it's never simple when it's fnatic or g2 playing fnatic hillary though has reported a potential bug league officials are currently investigating it now as we wait for updates updates we're gonna send it over to the analyst desk thank you abdutz medic thank you very much unfortunately we have a pause here in this game it is always unfortunate when it happens but we do want to confirm that everything can go and continue as well as possible for this game so let's talk about it let's get the draft up on the screen uh laura what jumped out to you about the draft that we saw of both teams i mean it looks like fletic did their research first taking tristana taking mondo but also we've been looking at reckless solo queue tracking he's been playing vain for 30 games straight so i feel like fnatic knew it and they gave him the vein even though they knew he would play it do you feel like they obviously banned out the marksman so he would play it and do you think that their comp adequately is fit to fight against the vein or to keep vein from fighting against them i should say uh i think there's still an issue because they play i mean they play mondo and we know how vayne is good against mandela and vedio said also earlier that they have thresh they have gragas which is perfect to split fnatic's team fight potential so we'll see how it happens i think kind of the one thing that they did that made it very clear that they were very prepared for this pick is they opted to bring the karthus in here and they swapped the mundo back at the top side there was kind of some speculation that it could going to be going jungle to the hands of whippo but by putting it top side against double ap and diane and gragas you've made the itemization path very very easy um for adam on top side and he's been having a successful game so far but ultimately it's the karthus that really stands out to me as a tool to shut down a lot of the very squishy champions on the side of g2 esports if you go late enough karthus kind of just outscales every champion in the game but more importantly pass just directly in which everyone is going to look at the wall of pain is a huge huge tool in these fights because if evolution goes through it if vayne goes through it it becomes nigh impossible for them to play against a mundo to play against aurelia yes if they're given the space to work they can absolutely demolish both these champions when your resistances are taken down and you're slowed by such a huge amount it's very hard for them to play these fights it's so obnoxious to play against if it gets rolling of course um i want to talk also a bit about the mid lane specifically caps versus nisky is a huge matchup i also think that nisky is someone who's been performing phenomenally but i think a lot of the attention has gone towards whipple because he has been adjusting to the jungle roll lore what can you tell me about nisky and how he's feeling about his performance so far and what do you think about him pulling out the irelia in such an important match i'm so happy to see how nisky evolved especially in summer because historically he's been known to play to be this control mage player he plays a lot of zoe has a good syndra also and i feel like he reinvated himself in summer here with the irelia peak as we see now all these melee champions that we haven't been used to seeing him on and i feel like niski right now is a very complete player and as you said ripo doesn't give him so much attention compared to the bot lane maybe but he came from being a supportive mid laner to being this very complete mid laner who can play pretty much everything and also carry for his team and i just feel like there's so many stories on fnatic that nisky is often kind of the unsung hero because people want to look at blippo people want to look at adam because the offseason because the roster change was so controversial we've talked about it we'll probably talk about it again but nisky has been kind of the silent but very very reliable player on the side of fnatic where he's been having very very good performances but again you get distracted by the shining light of the fifth you know viego game coming out for whippo because that is the kind of the hot button story that's the thing that people are really psyched for and in the meantime nisky has been racking up wins his numbers have been getting better and better and he's honestly just in general looked fantastic this split and if this was week three caps i would say no problem but caps has been getting better and better and you can see while this this matchup is obviously going to favor allusion just due to the range of ng has caps is clearly very comfortable in this matchup is not getting letting nisky hit him with the stuns is not letting any ultimate connects either and he's been able to kind of sail through this early game very easily yeah we're gonna get a replay package up because we've got all kills that happen so that can help us tell the story of the game so far a very early first blood by fnatic who is waiting for mickey to come down the river and just take his life which of course means a lot but how much does it mean exactly for the lane dracos i think overall the big thing here is going to be mostly the it's hard for me to remember the exact time stamp if you're close enough to the laning phase which i believe that they were it is going to be um advantage push advantage immediately for sauna naturally she should get this anyway in just the 80 carry matchup but having the range advantage on the thresh normally would mean that the uh g2 can test that no longer the case we look here on the top side and this is adam making good on the mundo pick i mean that's just classic add-on here playing uh playing aggressive and i never saw him on this champion actually i thought he would play more of the carry maybe but yeah he yeah just bringing in the suitcases i mean that was a big point of contention also which kind of matchup are we going to see in the top lane yesterday wonder coming out with the said juwani this time we see the ap gragas coming out or the gragas coming out rather and then um yeah the mundo it's not necessarily an adam pick but we know that it can be incredibly strong yeah and actually wonder has been so successful on the champion i think it's mostly about not giving in to wonder yeah and i think we've just seen that the champion's been incredibly powerful i like it overall we heard the boss at the start of the day say that he really wanted to see one of these more bruisery matchups and while adam is not in that bruisery matchup he's showing us that champion pool is expanding that was one of the big questions when he entered the league we knew his olaf was good we knew his darius is good we knew his renekton was good what else was he going to add to the tool kit mundo being there is a very big deal when it's quite frankly just probably a little too strong in the correct manner yeah but it fits with the way fnatic wants to play i mean i talking to bipol yesterday he admitted that he doesn't give so much attention to adam because he focuses on the butt side of the mat especially and i like that adam has been able to adapt accordingly and play this more laid-back play style i want to say even though he commits sometimes a bit too much into plays but yeah this is just a champion that fits his playstyle on the way fnatic wants to play around him we're still waiting for an update in terms of what's happening in terms of the game and of course we apologize that we're not pure blood analysts or color casters here so i want to dive a bit deeper into the stories of the teams as we fill this time and i don't think it's weird that we've not talked a lot about g2 i think coming into today we had a whippo segment in readycheck we had the euphoria uh check in with upset but i think it speaks to kind of how fnatic has been on a roll but we can never discredit g2 or forget g2 i want to ask in the same vein really no pun intended it just came out that way we talk about the scaling for the side of fnatic but there is always that thought of the x factor for rekkles if he does get a couple of kills and if he gets going how much trust do we have that he can bring this game into a victory for g2 well i think it is a big question i think 30 solo queue games is not enough to answer can you beat fnatic probably like seven thousand games yeah seven it's actually 75 exactly i just pick a number um i think the big thing here for me that i really like about this game regardless the result is that rekkles is kind of putting his money where his mouth is when it comes to playing new champions there was a lot of questions hey comfort picks things like the gin kind of when the pressure was on falling back to these picks but in a big game like fnatic g2 and in the game yesterday as well he bust out closer for the first time in four years today he's busting out the vein and i think that the commitment to playing new picks even in high stakes games is exactly what g2 fans should be looking to see from reckless to show that like hey this team is progressing it's not just a bald caps meme and two good games on stage they are like really committed to making the most out of this yeah and even when g2 look i don't want to say bad but not at their best a couple weeks back it was always reckless especially in these high-stakes games who was showing up for the team absolutely and to me it's also this is a big indicator of where these two teams at uh are at versus each other because the expectation is that they are going to make it both to playoffs and that we will see them fighting in those best of fives and uh i don't know how it is for others but with fnatic i always have this question mark of how long is it gonna last because i feel inherently inherently the way they like to play the game seems risky right but if it works it is so beautiful to watch it's often been this high risk high reward style for fatigue and uh that's also something i brought up with repo yesterday poorly worded i know but i feel like this may become maybe the strongest iteration of fnatic i mean when i see them play especially with a rookie player that they just brought in and how they click i don't know i'm just looking forward to seeing this team in playoffs and best of five keep forgetting at him as a rookie to be honest yeah and i think that over the years of fnatic we've had you know we've always had a very successful fanatic for the most part there's been one or two splits tough 2016 of course this spring split as well but fnatic has always been a team that's been while successful it's been a team very much just they get the wins and that's pretty much it and every time it's some worlds drama or some player drama or some roster drama and i don't want to hold that against them it's hard playing top level competitive league of legends but to me this feels like the first time that we have five fanatic players where you know the band of brothers narratives we've used it for splice we used it for g2 esports 2019 and now i think it fits for fnatic too in the sense that when you see these players when you see them interacting as we now get to do in the studio all of these guys are getting along all of them are on the same page and it's just a pleasure to watch yeah and that's when g2 beat them and get back on that and then they hate i do have an update as well at 14 minutes 13 seconds into the game fnatic paused the game to report two separate potential bugs to league officials after investigation the league officials have determined that all interactions were working as intended and reviewed the footage with fnatic to confirm we will resume the game as it was at the time of the pause and with that let's get back over to our casters thank you very much shocks great stuff all of you uh we'll drop in quite hot here 14 and a half minutes into the game or there abouts fnatic and ju2 are fighting in the bot side bot side jungle around fanatics blue buff now bripo died out early um nisky has just died as well i believe the requiem is falling adam is in the middle of four g2 members uh upset and hillar sang are sitting in the tri-bush right next to the bottom tower so we are still in the middle of a fight so the moment we come back in which is going to be shoot soon medic's going to pick a straight here we go straight back on into the action let's get on into this game of league of legends as we jump right on in g2 versus fanatic always a fight for the aegis hit us hang on the front line here with the unbreakable will he's gonna get locked up wonder knocked back though wonders taking ticking taking the ignite will get him down and upset gets a reset from that now g2 actually start up the dragon straight away upset is he gonna go in lots of wards here mickey misses the hook adam still very healthy upset dives forward mickey next on the menu the explosive trust gonna take him down and now upset diving in jankos manages to get across the wall hillasang knocks him over the wall okay but fanatic end up trading evening kills they're two for two they lose the drake and i thought that that fight was gonna go much worse for them so let's look back at this thank you very much observers caps dives in straight into the face of wippo and nisky immediately has to flash out takes the lantern to safety but now you can see fnatic is split when wunder tvs in he uses the alt flash e combo off the back of the condemn and you can see here the hex flash is going to be interrupted as a result of the ever frost that uh the uh stops the channel of the hexagon stops the channel of the hex flash now the rest of g2 decides to over commit here and this is where the follow-up cc comes through from hillside good ultimate they're from upset combined with the ignite gets them the kill and then it's a bit of an overstep here from mickey he's trying to zone adam away look for a potential hook he does have vision but then upset goes straight in nice side step of the damage flashes gets the initial kill looking for a potential reset and then the knockout comes through hook once again thanks flash hook yanko's jumping forward double bass on hitler saying but here comes britton here comes upside hitler's hang down jankos gets it there's the land to try and get him out cats now diving forward onto purple as well doesn't have the mana his buffs were stolen his life was stolen it's a double for yankos exactly that medic g2 after losing a fight immediately back out onto the map and they decide violence is the answer 65 is now the kill score for both sides only 400 gold separates the two teams 16 minutes in and we are right back into the thicker thing okay couple of things we're going to do a recap of where we are totally in a second here vedius but i do want to celebrate something look in the top lane his name is wonder he is wonderful often playing wow sometimes playing league of legends but he has just achieved his thousandth ever lec career kill congratulations wonder congratulations to wonder he has been one kill off well actually he's been four kills off for like quite a while but he just doesn't get kills but that was in fact his 1000th kill of lec careers so impressive stuff from one day he will take a turret in the top sides and he will get g2 now a 1k gold lead yeah so let's talk about where we are in terms of the game 17 minutes in or there abouts g2 have that thousand gold lead adam's going to answer with some gold in this tower in the bottom lane items across the board have been picked up you can see jankos and wonder working together here to try and catch up with not having a good game upset diving onto reckless though and reckless can just condemn him away you can see that top side of the map 4g2 is having a barnstormer of a game two one three two one three two one three all three of those potential fakers that upset talked about on euphoria are really performing well the thing about karthus is the moment you fall behind uh it becomes very hard to get back into the game oh they know nisky's in there and nisky knows he should have retreated heals up a little bit but rekkles will take the kill g2 playing a four-man stack on the top side while caps is by himself on the bottom g2 are relentless with their regression and so much credit needs to go to yankos and wonder they are continuing to be proactive on the map the second yanko's got a slight lead in this jungle matchup he has not slowed down with it constantly looking for plays looking for picks and caps forced to catch the bot wave but he was able to disengage so fnatic losing a little bit of control bripo being put very far behind niski on this irelia we talked about it in draft in this 1v1 matchup whoever gets ahead is uh has a big swing in terms of control over the side lane and for the time being caps is going to be so much further ahead football needs to be careful no flash or maybe it's tankers that needs to be careful the lantern is such a get out of jail free card though we have seen thresh banned every single game and then you let it through and this is what it can do it doesn't matter if you catch someone out if they can just click that lantern to escape fnatic though still trying to make plays they've controlled this bottom side jungle caps hasn't got the flash doesn't have the gale force either an upset knows it upset goes in gets the shutdown that was a pure 1v1 upset really putting fnatic on his back right now he was able to get that first blood in lane and now he's continuing to find pick after pick after pick his aggression is just it's just so evident you can see that he is not afraid of g2 as nisky now going for the 1v1 yeah wonder doesn't have the body slam oh it's not 1v1 for long my friend reckless and mickey were behind enemy lines nisky now spots the fact that jankos is waiting for him as well the rocket belt will get jankos in range for the moon ball and there is the hook nisky tries to dodge away with a blade surge but jankos is on the chase the killing spree for the diana meanwhile though fnatic are playing the other side of the map and even though it seems like g2 you know they're picking up these kills they're picking up the pace fnatic are still well within touching distance of gold and this is going to be another 600 gold fed into upset he's going to be at 9 000 gold when no one on g2 has even crest the 8 000 mark yes while g2 do have advantages over many of their lane counterparts you know yanko's getting us a little bit ahead of whippo caps getting ahead of nisky upset has just been farming away plates in the early game towers in the mid game and finding every or most of the kills for fnatic it really will be upset versus the world as this game progresses remember the whipple will continue to scale all upset really needs is a front line to play around and then there's a very realistic world where he can win the game for fnatic right now though controlling the top side continues to swing in g2's favor i think it's fair to say that right now it's just a battle of the cross map whatever g2 takes in top fnatic is taking in bots and it's just a matter of cylinders doing what they can to try and catch what farm they can hilla sang looking to collapse onto wonder lantern there just for safety i mean it does give away the fact that wonders in that bush as well so if fnatic had been a little bit quicker to pull the trigger after that lantern disappeared perhaps they could have found something however what do we have on the menu well baron's on the cards both teams would do it pretty quickly of course mcarthur's can burn through it very rapidly as can a vain double ad carry on the side of g2 will manage to burn it down we're chasing yankos out of the jungle hitler flashing away from it there's a thousand seven hundred gold between the two teams and right now a lot of that you have to look at lying on the top side of the map for g2 it's a thousand four hundred gold lead for caps in the mid lane a thousand one hundred fijankos in the jungle so we have a little bit of time now because both these teams are you know setting up the next objective isn't gonna be spawning for a while a lot of the outer towers have been gone so let's talk a little bit about the historic record between these two teams because every time they match up we have to bring up the rivalry that does exist and why this is such an exciting matchup eight lec titles 4g two seven four fnatic only recently did g2 thwart fnatic in the number of titles that they actually had the head-to-head you can see is quite clearly in the favor of g2 and a lot of that is in the recent history too since 2020 g2 lead with 13 wins to five losses it's been a while since fnatic really had the upper hand in this and perhaps people were thinking this season might have been the time even rekkles was saying he thinks fnatic are probably the best team in the lec at the moment and you can see even though g2 have had their foot on the accelerator even though they've been trying to up the tempo of the game fnatic has still been finding things on the other side of the map the question is can this new fanatic line up with whippoo in the jungle with adam in the top lane with upset as their ad carry continue to develop and really challenge as the rest of the season goes on good damage coming out from reckless hook goes a little wide there for mickey could have been a big pick but doesn't end up finding anything and again i think a lot of it comes off of rekkles replacement upset this man is having a fantastic game i think he's how overall had a fantastic but last split he was the most aggressive alongside hillar sang and while they don't have as many 2v2 kills that aggression hasn't really changed he jumps in yeah wonder doesn't really have anywhere to go here tries to flash away but hitler hangs on the chase they lock him up under will of ball and once again is upset who gets the kill and gets the bounty 150 extra gold from that kill for him are fnatic going to look for more here mickey and reckless waiting around the corner good stun came out from nisky to set up for the dive we're gonna have another very quick pause we will inform you when we have a little bit more information as to what is going on but we've had a very exciting game nine to seven is the kill score the gold is only 1.6 k apart and it has been a very bloody back and forth between the two teams very exciting stuff to watch the towers are even now after fanatics secured that top one four to four of the towers across the board and overall things are looking very very close next straight should be spawning relatively soon in about two minutes time fanatic right now leading drakes um and yeah it's it's as we said it's a very close game between the two teams is bripper who's paused to work out exactly what's happened as soon as we can there's this strange tense tension with pauses and games like this because the game is incredibly tense as it is right and then you get this pause and you kind of take a quick sigh of relief but you're also frustrated because you just wanted the game to keep going and it's kind of like you're standing at the like the edge of a precipice at the corner of this like gaping abyss of brilliant league of legends in front of you you're like please let me jump in please let me take a dive for now we have to wait we have to be on the edges of our seats once again as we wait for the game to resume both teams playing very specific styles of league of legends you can see how much fnatic are investing into upset yes and it's important to note the reckless isn't that dramatically behind because reckless right now is one of the highest earning players in the game he has 9 000 gold he's a little bit behind caps and wonder um but they also have a lot more assists than he does but he's also at 234 cs he is maintaining the average he's very far ahead the problem is upset's just gotten more gold so it's not the reckless is like behind it's just the upset is really really far ahead and i'm just gonna have a quick look at the gold he doesn't quite have enough for infinity sitting on 1200 right now he already has the bf he's going to get the pickaxe and then uh very soon he's going to convert that into infinity when he has that that is when you sit there as fernando can be like all right let's go we're ready to fight alrighty carrie has three items he's got the infinity edge he's primed and ready to like dish out the damage um but jankos a player that you know has well i think overall had a very solid split sure he's been very reliable there have been a couple moments i remember one time on a diana he flashed into a wall perhaps to the best of us you know what i mean um but overall i think that uh jankos has had a very solid split and he in this game is really strong he has rushed the morello to try and mitigate some of the life regeneration that they do have on things like the mundo specifically i think um but he also has the rocket belt completed and he also has the 10 stacks on his dark seal he is so strong level 13 on the diana he is someone that you really have to respect in these fights especially with how well he has been playing but fortunately he won't have to listen to his talk much longer because we're getting right back into the game let's jump on back into the action oh hook immediately on blippi he's gonna pop the top watch g2 looking to retreat away from this one stopwatch used as well by jankos as nisky dives underneath the tower yankers has already used the move board here and he can't get away upset with another bounty another shutdown has fallen i believe as adam tps into this fight g2 at a numbers disadvantage the culling from caps finds its mark two for two so far on the trade reckless and mickey looking for a flank position here mickey's gonna eat and infected chase is still on wonder has the teepee as you say reckless gets them the uh scuttle crab condemned into the wall mickey low though upset could be his third kill of this fight nikki's still alive wonder and reckless trying to do what they can obsess in the pit by himself nisky here's the flawless duet and there goes reckless now niska gets a double and just like that is turned on his head once again but now to get two upset looking for more of his one to t beat in perhaps to his death caps getting chased away by adam in a pure 1v1 the cleaver adam surgical precision from the doctor in the house fanatic clean up the fight and they're going for the baron and fnatic will look to reclaim control over this game it looked like a big fight for g2 but they were able to turn it around after some beautiful execution coming out from this now yankos near the pit can he get the steal no flash no oh either jankos now has his ultimate you going for this mate you got to go in now you got the smite equals smite's but hitler sang once again a great distraction forces jankos away and now yankos is dead there's nothing you can do in this situation adam will take the killer fnatic now 2 000 gold ahead and it flicked like a switch so at the beginning of the pause this was the situation that we found ourselves in now fnatic had their eyes set on trying to get a pick onto yankos so nisky flashes over the wall and follows up with upset immediately into finding a kill meanwhile whippo wasn't expecting these two members of g2 to be sitting in this brush so rekkles gets himself a kill so it ends up being a trade of junglers on both sides tp then comes in from caps as the ultimate comes through gets heavily mitigated by uh the aegis from mickey then with the tp from adam late tp coming out from wonder but it doesn't matter because they realize that they get that initial kill the members are now even on both sides and at this point we're thinking okay well where's the tp from wonder but caps actually goes back to top lane they are in a two versus three here rectus doing what he can to keep mickey alive and it's looking pretty promising but then the slow connects on to reckless and it doesn't matter we don't have time because we're back into the enemy on the cab says the lantern there for him but cap's been knocked away from it and there's a ward on top of it but here comes yankos the shutdown onto upset that's all your goldnisky has to do so much in this fight your purpose is he trying to dive on to reckless but he's been knocked back as well the flawless duet does not quite connect the lantern gets them out whipper still gets a double the hook coming out as well in a 3v3 now adam tanking up the tower for days adam does not care another fight kicks off fnatic didn't even have a wave i don't even understand how they got there because the last fight was just so long i think that g2 oh we're immediately going to get a replay to exactly what happened so they did have a pushing wave hillasang controlling a little bit of vision caps is trying to get a bit of poke damage and then he thinks because he has the lantern he's in safe quarters but then the knock-up comes through the knock back into the control ward caps there's no way for him to get the last hit then look at this engage from wonder the all the damage and the ultimate from yankos as well locks them up as reckless is just free firing on the back line but then with a tp from nisky reckless realizes he can no longer commit to the fight so wunder now has to disengage he then loses his life ends up being a two for two and now quick observers get us back into the fight oh whippo looking very happy with his performance so far as he should be a thousand five hundred goal between these two teams you can see ripper died relatively early on in that fight but a requiem a wall of pain a few little skittles on the ground can do a lot of work fnatic with this baron buff haven't broken an inhibitor line yet though they are very strong right now upset three items complete infinity edge crack and slayer and the rapid fire cannon reckless still waiting for the guinsoos has a rage knife in his inventory adam as well this guy a rookie four one and six against wonder against g2 he is having a stellar performance so far he continues to be the front line that fanatic needs showing us that he is not just you know the carry player the olaf the darius he's also someone that can flex his style for his team's requirements and now he is by himself in a side lane his g2 lose another two towers but continue to hold on to their base look at the damage that g2 now have infinity edge completed for caps reckless completing the rage blades the question is is it going to be enough to melt through the front line the fanatic have level 16 on adam hillesang has the abyssal mask giving that oh jumps away oh messes up the combo there he even had flash and upset did not big blunder there from yankos i really think that could have been a massive pick for him and g2 it's a pixels thing though right like because the jumper already happened the moonfall was just at the edge of pulling him out of it it wasn't even like upset buffered to jump afterwards just yankos not quite connecting on it vedion this game is it's giving me that that feeling that you get when you watch fanatic g2 games that feeling when remember summer 2019 in athens with all the crowd behind you remember reckless and hindustan backdooring on rakhan and lucian remember all the times we've seen these two titans these goliaths face off against each other it's giving me that feeling once again 2 000 gold between the two of them it feels like it's on a knife edge and once again it's pixel perfect precision there from hilasang steps away from the hook wow right now though it feels like fnatic is quite firmly in control their gold lead is about 2.5 k their front line is incredibly strong adam is an absolute titan and whippo even though he has six deaths he has a bounty on his head he is working towards the death camp just gonna have a quick look how far away he's quite far away from me he's quite about 2 000 um so g2 don't have to be too worried about that but when he gets it they definitely have to worry for now fnatic have just been setting up vision around the bot side of the map very deep vision so they can control the drake a cloud drake with this uh cloud soul with this team is pretty strong as well very strong a lot of high value ultimates here but this vision is very good from fnatic g2 trying to make a cross map play where they set up vision around the top side river hills i'm going to get a little bit of information face check that with adam they just don't care as they shouldn't because they're not gonna get one shots they want you to engage on them nisky they're right behind him level 16 now on the already come back into this game very nicely was a little bit behind early on zero two zero was the score line but now two three and three actually a higher level than that of caps upsets just got himself a guardian angel as well very oh makes it even trickier for g2 to isolate him because we've seen a couple of the fights that have been closer g2 have managed to come out of winning they've killed upset off right at the start now you kill upset he's coming back you killed whippo he'll stay around for a good five ten seconds to put down more dps and really the question is can g2 find fanatic caps on the front line here's the tp from adam hill straight up to caps caps is gone somehow surviving for the moment almost down it's worth the rep room coming out it's cancelled ripple on the front line reckless you've got to open up you've got to do the main things right now he's looking for this key there's a couple of kills three against three once again reckless flashing forward reckless dies flashbacks to double lift you can't do that on a vein reckless no matter what you do fanatic will find you reckless dies capstice ankles dies mickey dies g2 dies fanatic strike and with this amount of hp with adam on the front line with a wave fanatic could just very well end the game right here right now he doesn't care about these towers upset is still alive can wonder save the game he's pops his stopwatch but his nexus towers will go pop not much that one that can do in this situation fanatic claim a 2-0 versus g2 elation on the side of fnatic a very back and forth game that final team fight looked incredibly close yankos using his ultimate to just pull in the most crucial members there interrupting the karthus ultimate i thought that was going to be it g2 was going to be able to turn that fight in their favor but no fnatic shut them down and was the front line that he needed to be upset could not be touched and fnatic go 2-0 over g2 in the summer season what a game fanatic vs g2 never disappoints and once again fnatic showing us just how strong they are on the back of upset on the back of adam you have to say superb performances by both of them g2 though continue to improve continue to grow from where they were just a few weeks ago a loss like this shouldn't be something you look at and you start being dismayed or disarmed i mean jankos had an incredible game still like he was absolutely huge and uh see what it means to yamato see what it means to fnatic and it's a big win too especially in the fight for first remember that uh rogue they couldn't beat g2 no they're sitting at 0-2 against g2 in the regular season and now we get to see fnatic versus rogue next week that fight for first the battle for the top it's going to be a huge match i already set the stage for what europe's top teams look like right now fanatic finding form and getting a huge win over their big rivals in g2 was massive and huge props to adam a very solid game from him he did what he needed to you know a lot of people he did get that double kill early on that was pretty flashy but uh he had a very solid game he was a great front line for upset to deal the damage and the damage he doth dealt that he did you can vote for him in your play of the game votes at lec on twitter adam upset and hilasang are your options and we'll actually soon hear from upset with lore before zanzara and nisky join us in the lec post game lobby don't you go anywhere i love fnatic vs g2 [Music] [Music] uh [Music] the systems are overloading we can't risk another game we need to take a break and regroup we're starting to lose our mind captain we cannot go back to elo hell last time it took us months to get out of it initiate break protocol hurry up yes yes i did it i we did it we did it even the biggest champ needs a break so [Music] hmm [Music] mmm so [Music] [Music] hmm [Music] [Music] um [Music] [Music] [Music] welcome back to the elisa stage after this amazing match of the week fnatic takes down g2 and upsets congrats on winning against g2 twice this season actually how was the game uh yeah it was very chaotic and yeah stressful with the pauses because it's always hard to get back into like peak focus after pause so we had some shaky moments but overall the win always makes me very happy of course and i think we showed a lot of resilience as a team that even if things go wrong we can still come back and we showed that when we are grouped and we fight together we are very very good at executing them the fights so i'm over quite happy with the result of this yeah there was an amazing and strong performance from frenetic and i we talked about this on the desk but you did your research against g2 actually here to be ready taking tristana and mundo one and two red side tell me about the prep and the draft she decided to go against them today ah i mean basically i've been just picking tristan a lot because i like to play her a lot and i also know they like to play it so if i pick it and they can't play it and they don't really play like the good champs against tristana i think so once i had to sana i felt pretty comfortable that they will not have a good idea what to play into it and they ended up picking vayne which i think is actually quite good match up for tristana so i was a little bit surprised and yeah i felt pretty good playing to santa and yeah went where you have more uh on vayne actually because yeah he picked the champion into tristana and i thought he was a big good pick against mundo as well but it wasn't impactful that much in the game so your take on the peak as it is in the meta right now i i think the champ has some problems when it comes to wave clearing it's a very low tempo champ but it's also not very strong in lane and her scaling is good versus melee champs but they picked it they didn't last pick it so we ended up picking cartos and she like nearly gets uh one shot by the cartes alone so it's very hard for her to fight because i also have higher range and you could see in the last team that she tumbled forward that one mistake i hit her twice and she just dies so i was surprised that he picked wayne but i do understand it but usually when you play thresh you want to win your lane but with the vane pick it didn't really work out for them as well so yeah i was a little bit surprised he ended up picking event today yeah unlucky and yeah good draft preparation from you guys again and more about you upset i feel like you picked this season honestly in terms of level and also when i saw you in euphoria i i see you right and smile and really happy so yeah tell me about the split with fnatic and how everything's going with the team um i feel my individual level has always been pretty good but maybe sometimes it wasn't the easiest to build a lot of keem team chemistry with the members but right now it feels like we have very good synergy going and i'm so happy to play with my support i always knew he's a great support and if he plays with a very aggressive id i think his strength can even be amplified and our play styles match so much and i really love how he plays and i'm just so happy i get to play with him but also of course shout out to my top side even though they had a rough game today they stayed very strong mentally and did their part anyways even though they did some mistakes so yeah i'm just really happy that my team is doing so well and it really makes me feel comfortable as well to show my best performance i can imagine and the last good news for you you guys made playoffs actually with this game raw qualified two playoffs as well actually you what's next for fnatic knowing that well we are not really a team that wants to qualify for playoffs as our goal we want to reach the world championship and do well in playoffs but obviously qualifying is the first step so we are i guess uh happy with it but it was expected that we will at least make playoffs um but yeah we just want to keep working hard on our fundamentals and as a team and make sure that we will do well in playoffs because that's what's really important to us but it's a small relief yeah five more games maybe to go higher in the standings moves see how it goes for you but upset thanks again for this interview congrats on beating g2 twice this season the split even this bit three times yeah wow well we're going to take a break now and we'll be back in a couple minutes to know more about this game with sharks zanzara and nisky see you
