MAD vs. GEN | Worlds Group Stage Day 2 | MAD Lions vs. Gen.G (2021)

[Music] welcome back everyone to the state farm analyst desk cars giving us a little look we've got two games left welcome car see and we are jumping in to a groupie with genji matt lng and team liquid and after a disappointing performance on day one from karzi and the mad lions they now find their next foe in genji both squads are on the hunt for a win to put them ahead in an incredibly close group d let's start by talking about what we saw from the lec champions mad lions yesterday versus team liquid um well they lost to zale and as you are the proponent of the team that they lost against in team liquid what was your read on what they did wrong uh i mean i i think that draft didn't really work for them that well i think jarvan just in general hasn't really been working it only works in very specific situations um i also just think arma didn't look very comfortable on the jacks like he has his champions you know when you think of like things like the wukong the specific picks that he's so comfortable at he is amazing on those and i think i would like to see him back on comfort allow humanoid to do what he does on that talking point we also have uh the tweet from mac after that just said this one is on me i also feel like as a coach you you know you're inclined to do that but i do want to offer kind of like a counter argument in that when i was watching that game even though the draft wasn't perfect there were a lot of times in that they also just overstepped and when plays lyric that they try to make and that maybe they think would work did not work out either yeah and i think it also goes to a level that you know a lot of people have been talking about things like comfort when it comes to mad lions and i mean armor armor pulling out jacks for the full first time this year like like azeal said jarvan coming back and i don't think eliot looked all too comfortable on him either and i really feel like for mad lions their biggest struggles are just on the top side i don't feel like humanoid or the bottom lane played too bad i think that's a great point and also we're looking at el yoya here who's smiling on the camera but is of course a very new player to the international stage so you know you don't have that many games in groups so you can't drop too many so we'll have to see what mad lions can do here versus gen g and i wanted to take a look specifically at the mid lane matchup humanoid versus bdd uh humanoid has really worked himself up to many say the best mid in europe but i think you definitely have to say that after summer but bdd opened up yesterday with a monster performance versus icon yeah i mean it was just insane to watch solo killing him left and right have the tp play top is all to start opening up the map and i think bdd is someone you can really rely on and that we've seen especially clinton a lot of gen g games he'll like invest a lot of ganks quite heavily into him so i'm really curious to see how he'll do today going up against humanoid who has been the standout for mad lions yeah i mean it's going to be really interesting you know coming into worlds like people are always putting out their tier lists humanoid is the european guy that was up high on those lists that everyone was looking at as the best european player at this tournament he really can do it all he roams incredibly well i think that's what genji are going to have to watch out for most is the map movement that's going to come out inevitably from humanoid because he's not only great at the roams but he stays ahead in lane while doing it which is what i think makes it so impressive if you look at yesterday of course um bdd asset on that so we had a great performance and then it's very easy to roam of course when you get the advantage but i think in pickup men we're probably also all going to see something like that we just know that the global mids have been super super prevalent so far but would that be something you're looking to target out from the from either side maybe yeah i mean i definitely think so because humanity is known as such a heavy roam style player like i do think things like tf things like ryze could easily get targeted those are some of his best champions he obviously played the tf yesterday i think you want to try to put that down and i expect that genji may focus a little bit towards top try to punish our mutt though they normally do want to play more towards the bot side yeah and i think the only other difference for me is the fact that i do feel like bdd plays more for his lane than humanoid does so i feel like that could really be the distinction if bdd can find solo kills like he did yesterday i think jen jean are in a good spot final note maybe about the top lane uh we have rascal up there versus armored and i think um armour is someone who has steadily been improving but i think not everyone is completely convinced about yet especially i think after that game yesterday which yes could have also came down to the pick but it just didn't look good yeah i mean i i think there's some mis-execution for sure to me the questions about ahmed are more about his leading phase and less about his team fighting right so get him comfort so he can get through the laning phase matter incredible team fighters and i think that is where they can really take down genji we'll see though if it all aligns today everyone matters in this incredibly competitive group it's time to find out who will claim that win and come ever closer to the quarterfinals as we get into champ select thank you so much sharks i think excellent breakdown by the desk there so much to look at in terms of mad lyons kind of coming back and turning things around today again you're going to hear me say this a lot in the next few days until you know lpl teams inevitably prove me wrong but i hate jarvan i despise him i want to tell you on a playmaker and while that is technically a playmaker it's not the playmaker i'm used to seeing them i've noticed something about eu casters and you all have an intense hatred for at least one specific champion it's true it's fetish venus is a flaming tryndamere astronomer is dying he's like you can't die i see duck dice dude you're just blaming jarvan as like jarvis is like winning games i hate yeah i mean look i have strong strong opinions yeah you know you all choose a nemesis basically at the beginning you're like you are my evil opponent yes you you figured it out thank you kobe for saying it so succinctly yes will my nemesis rear his ugly head his big flag in this game we'll find out maybe in the hands of click lid does certainly love the champion i have something we're going to have to keep track of and in general i kind of had high expectations for lng engine uh genji were very easily able to dismantle them mostly on the back of bdd but across the board once they got that lead they snowballed it very successfully can matt fight back a little bit more or are we going to see some of the same messy mistakes that we saw yesterday i'm sorry i just can't get over that face i want to hear the calms going on there during the big bears you know there's some really tough choices you have to make sometimes turns out the answer was rise yeah we're banning rise i want to hear what the what the discussion was but they're they're focusing humanoid i think that is a good choice here from genji we've heard that talk about how big of a win condition humanoid is for mad lions and played right into their team fighting so with bdd success yesterday focusing humanoid banning the twisted bait to disallow him from roaming around banning away the rise to get some of these play-making champions out of his hands where he can affect the map can be very very big because when you think of bdd his giant carry most successful influential champions have been yes to zoe yesterday but things like the azir as well absolutely that don't want to have to deal with so much roaming around the map that plus ruler this is the the big carry of the team usually and he wants his time in the sun so you're also looking at early picks for bottom lane miss fortune was banned away guess what uh yumi's picked up instantly another b one pick for yumi will they go uh an aphelios combination here for ruler i've always loved him with it you have the opening um but a lot of people have been throwing kill lanes in quote at umi lanes and being unsuccessful with it i think she's just such a difficult champion to shut down and again doing very well so far in the tournament have to see how they adapt and instant focus on the bot lane does free up some of the more premier jungle picks notorious for having uh i'd say a small champion effective champion pool he has a couple picks that he generally really likes to go to zinn very much in the wheel uh wheelhouse is kind of what we expect from him see again as interesting as the violin it is i'm keep looking back to mid-jungle because of something alfari said in his winner's interview yesterday which he said most teams that he's seen playing against matt just disrespect their mid jungle and the reason that tl was able to find success is they gave that mid jungle respect and when you're prioritizing these early jungle picks i'm starting to feel like bd or bdd and the side of gen g may already know that recipe for success well they certainly did give them the respect and focus them here with the double bands on mid plus the the prior on jungle pick you know lee sin is already banned out that would be the premier one and it might even be a blind here from mad if they go with this early graves definitely flexible as we keep on repeating but generally especially if you lock in zinzal it's either top or mid so it's gonna be a solo engrave yeah the question of course for me now is we've seen in the lpl incredibly consistently lisandra is the counter pick for the leblanc easy point-and-click lockup and you have burst damage to follow it up as well from both the zen and the graves feels like it could be a strong pick but is that something that bdd wants to go for plus with all of these players picking leblanc so early do we get to see something like a lisandra lock into it something like the malzahar locking into it uh to just point click shut her down or do you just go with comfort and that's the reason matt blind they're flying there leblanc because they know all right he's just gonna go back to his champions he has almost double of any other champion azir plays over his career bdd on his ear it got them here to worlds let's see if it can get them a win over mad in the group and get them to remain undefeated that means that they can then focus on the jungle bands here ban away el yoja this this man has been so incredible for mad lions he transformed the team when he joined the team he actually skyrocketed them to success so with them focusing two more bands on him and the early pickup there for klid with the zin i really like the attention uh to the jungle mid that you mentioned yeah and oh yeah a long time a student of international junglers has always looked up to the big names like canyon see how he will stack up against players like klid a guy who's had it the trundle to me is one of the most successful into zen so seeing an early zinn pick but not protecting it with a trundle band here i think is a bit erroneous yeah you're bending out the gwen for the late game scaling for for the matchup into graves is is is not a a great one but trundle makes so much sense here for format lions for el joya because you can either go with the old way that trundle used to fight olaf which is red smite conqueror you just ultim and you stat check him or it's so effective to just pillars in in so many situations if there's no minion no offensive thing around to w you can get a lot of picks on his end you can force his ultimate out a lot of times just with pillars yeah and at this point you've now locked in the calista you've taken away really the only ap top we've seen in the hands of armas you're very likely going to see double ad topside coming in which is going to make the graves life incredibly easy and i love what we're seeing from genji in the draft so far now the composition normally i'd say it might be a little bit ad heavy but at the end of the day wukong you know you got double a d on the top side already committed for gen g maybe it's just double a d on both sides you got two top laners who are just going to get a lot of free armor from passives and slowly but surely kill each other i see your armor passive and raise you an armored passive dracos all right moment of truth what's it going to be el yo ya i wanna see the jungle we can leave a point zero one percent chance of a wukong jungle open uh for a short amount of time please don't because please [Laughter] that would be so egregious on your team and you're just like yeah here so kiana burst damage not gonna be the trundle um but uh you know kiana especially if you do get set up for it and you have your ultimate you can definitely burst combo the zin so we shall see if el yo-yo is able to get into these positions the early stages have a lot of very good setups for for zinn possible ganks you know lucian yumi on the bottom side of the map when you're facing kalista nautilus kill lame plus a zin zhao jungle into kiana early should be genji trying to make bottom side of the map plays early on and and generally for genji what you expect from this team despite what you've seen earlier is a more bottom triangle of the matte focus focusing on bdd and ruler trying to get them into a very strong position to team fight towards the mid and late stages of the game and with him getting his hands on his calista i mean it was all bdd yesterday but i am i am very excited to see the ruler kalista i am as well and i think the big question is can they can they break this bottom lane of course in eu domestically i was always always a big fan of kaiser on engaged champions i think it was one of his big strengths he's incredible at team fighting but the umi is so powerful in the meta right now i respect the pickup but how is it going to match up to such an incredibly aggressive and oppressive lane like callisto nautilus you got a zins out jungle two and there's just so much setup across the board in this early game for gen g backed up by this incredible scaling option of of the azir in the hands of bdd and yeah you always lock in your pocket bdd azir for later like all right we're good to go for those team fights later on uh everything else is invested in control basically to get them there we'll see if matt lyons maybe can disrupt that as early as minute one if they want to go for level one but it looks like a pretty split map so far just a five point across karzian kaiser staying relatively safe early vision has been big of course verizon 5g all chat share your opinions cheers well wishes using the verizon 5g all chat let us know how you feel about yumi let us know how you feel about jarvan and any other champion that lec casters may have really strong opinions will psychoanalyze you if you feel like that's necessary for this time in your life as well look man therapy's expensive i gotta get it from twitch chat so be it yeah give it to you live here at worlds defensive ward opening from both sides though um i want to point out that the one on top side behind the red buff they're looking for those possible sneaky plays over to get that topside vision while simultaneously setting up with the sweeper in nautilus inventory for a delayed invade anytime you see that that sweeper early on from the support yeah it signals a delayed invade they get their award kill they also get their zombie ward up and they as soon as they get the sweeper reveal and go forward crash play comes out immediately flash out two flashes this early game in the game is big now if they had a man advantage they have a zens out they have a nautilus they have a kalista they absolutely win in an even exchange but mad lions had more members and that's what matters it is at the cost of a tp but two flashes in that early lane are gonna make it so hard for ruler in life and the best part daniel two important flashes for the bottom side where they want to play aggressive they want to try and get these kills punish karzi and kaiser with their double exhaust laying down there with with yumi lucian no flashes on nautilus by the way i don't know why i keep calling you daniel there's nobody else does that do you right no no but i appreciate it it's like it's what makes our cast you're so personal i know where you live uh regardless now i'm gonna need that twitch chat therapy where's i'm moving on quickly here we're going to gloss over that one the bottom line though it takes away a lot of that possible aggressiveness out of the nautilus callisto you know with no flashes it's a lot more difficult to follow up on some of that early game plan as far as setup that we talked about the the umi lanes generally you know early on if you can take little chip trades it's perfect because everybody that wants to play against you me wants to all in burn your cooldowns and then go for kills but if you just get the chip away and then yumi heal right back up that's how you scale up with this champion that's how you know you want the early game to go and with klid starting on red into raptors as expected passing down to the bottom side maybe they still go for this opportunity it's a little bit difficult for him to find a pathway down there since they they early warded for themselves you see uh looks like it was uh karzi's war there through the river uh seize the pathway they will even see him if he chases the scuttle crab down but klid hopping backwards so he's going to reverse to scuttle crab on top side instead interesting we'll see if alyo is going to go for the contest here he will be a little bit behind on the initial scuttle crabs i think humanoid got a peek of him maybe in the right beginning of it but it looks like it should be yeah both pushing lane able to secure top side scuttle crab for him no problem he shouldn't have to smite it either okay does use his smite anyway i was wondering okay second one is actually pretty close for cool down hook is gonna go in that's gonna be the auto coming out as well cars are getting locked up exhausts and ignites now being traded but ruler has to run for his life they're so powerful they're gonna grab one cars he's still living guys are trying to body block as much humanly possible but the big anchor is gonna get it done cat versus nautilus they're just gonna walk away round two el yoja in the top lane water played in hand this could get messy humanoid there's no mana on bdd he's moving and he's taking a tower shot one more outplayed oh one more the action does not stop armand now stepping forward he's got a lot of armor because it's stacking up as instantly mad lions just like that i love it it's a rumble in every single lane here this is what you want to see at worlds group stage baby mad lions are throwing down this is such an important game for them versus genji in this group after taking that first loss to team liquid they need to grab the win here they are setting themselves up for so much success the double exhaust lane down there karzi and kaiser getting that kill first but then a little bit of a blooper afterwards when uh the flash is still dying at the end does mean an extra summoner spell in addition to going down yeah still the money went to the supports though so it's gonna be killer uh yumi and killer nautilus meanwhile the other two lanes getting their kills and burning the flashes is just as important bdd now on this azir into the leblanc win where usually he's very confident to pick it no flash completely changes it because humanoid can play very aggressively even if jungler's not there he has to he has to respect it and bdd he slides himself into turret range trying to go aggressive to get the shield uh even though the route is on him and so chain procted perfect timing um you know from humanoid to lock him up for those extra extra tower shots there but bdd is the one that slid into place there just inside turret range so another bit of a blooper from him meanwhile the top side was straightforward good job by el yoya pathing up there chasing him down top lane was a gank mid lane was certainly an outplay and bottom lane is the product of that level one where they were able to take away those big flashes from the side of life and ruler certainly that 2v2 would have been significantly easier if they had those cooldowns up and available but the downside is once you start losing to leblanc you generally keep losing to leblanc now the good news is bdd does have a cs lead the bad news is el yo-yo is right about to enter his lane and you'll see good lublon players as soon as they get any sort of lead like this they just can keep bluffing and so sometimes you saw your jungler sometimes you're just bluffing but every single one has to be respected so humanoid does a very good job keeps up aggressive play goes for trade after trade after trade yes bdd is sustaining ncs and it's last hitting extremely well some of them being dropped by humanoid to go for a super aggressive trade there and also when they did the uh earlier one the minion wave was pushing so lost a couple there but if they can get more kills and get more mid prio out of it that's where they'll find their rewards bdd has so many games on this champion as we mentioned though he he basically specializes in in a lot of these more difficult you know kill pressure match-ups and us and trying to out-cs and scale for later yeah and we talked a lot about the bat line and right now genji spotlight is clear and controlled their flashes are up the summer spells inside of mad lions are there but i think it is important that we highlight because yesterday was a very different kind of bdd game it was the zoe and yes that's a pic we know him for but it's easy to get comfortable thinking of him as this big scaling threat on the ezir but he did monster that individual mid lane matchup which is part of the reason why i think that outplay obviously bdd is going to hang his head in shame after something like that but in general it's just so good because you're shutting down what was supposed to be the reliable late game insurance for gen g pretty early on in the game yeah we'll see if they can actually play off it um you know is now level six so his kill pressure a chain on bdd means death there's no flash there so he has to play very respectfully and uh you know humanoid can again try and force over and over but they've got no vision around top or around mid and they're actually hovering bottom instead of stepping forward doesn't look like he was spotted now going to leap in go for the wall stun but it's not gonna work out it's a bit of a yikes there that cool down early on for kian is quite large so ultimate being expended that is big thumbs up for the bottom lane of gen g ruler no flash difficult uh situation now for for matt because they were already getting pushed out in that lane now you're gonna have the recall as close as gonna come back with boots tier two as well ninja tabby on top of that so that much more tankiness that much more survivability but klid i like this dashing into the pit here dvd just continuing to trade back and forth if they can sneak away this herald it's very big yeah at least it to the top side do you know you can actually sneak around the vision of uh the top skuttle crab by the way if you hug that wall i actually didn't i thought they changed it so that it was like you could yeah it's it's one of the funniest ones uh they do get the rift herald can they escape with it though arma can use the first stack here instantly fully charging up that conqueror oh yo you're going to deliver kaiser to the miss everybody click getting lower and lower human right now stepping forward perfect ulti from bdd to keep the team alive taking out the trash sweep them all in back into the river uh basically just disengaging for the team though but it's double neutral objective wins for gen g so while mad lyons so much early success getting these kills all three lanes action action action all simultaneously and getting themselves some gold the neutrals going over to gen g might become problematic dragon stacking when you're the ones with the kalista nautilus now reaching your level six that all-in becomes so much more dangerous has to be worked around and some of the turret plates being picked up in the aftermath as well yes but have you considered as raymond has highlighted here that the mad lions have picked yumi a fellow feline to give themselves the cat buff and therefore the game is over okay checkmate because i know i so i don't have a cat for uh you know travis reasons but i know that there's always this issue when you get a new cat and sometimes they don't like the cat that you already have and they have a hard time you know working together yumi is not a mad sort of feline yet no no no the lions are quite you know angry so maybe different disposition we'll see if it works out the scaling is definitely going to be there and and we've seen so much success my personal favorite is when you have teams where you meet scaling doesn't have to be you me on your ad adcarry later in the game yumi can go on these assassins the best biggest plays are yumi jumping on leblanc on kiana and actually 1v9 picking up those quadras picking up those pentas because you get the extra stats you get the extra heel speed to go chase everyone down and it really turns assassins and carries like this into carries that you don't normally see in league of legends where they're not usually 1v9s they're not usually true hyper carries that life steal through and heal up and you know actually 1v9 but if you attach a um to him you get to live that dream certainly do see how mad lions want to set up for that dream if it's gonna be humanoid or yo yeah maybe even arma who's going to carry the umi through in these fights but for now genji moving in taking control of the bottom side of the map mid lane control is even we got four members strong now on the bottom side from gen g and karzi and uh kaiser they've got the ulti to clear away if it comes to it but a lot of threat there humanoid though just continuing to uh train aggressively bdd firing back though respect to him not walking away scared from this leblanc knows that if he wants to come out in the trades he needs to fire back with some damage yep not backing down you just go with the defensive build path he went with the merc treads as necessary his flash came back up now a rulers is still down from that bottom lane play that that we mentioned but it's going to come up pretty shortly here too and then they can go super aggressively life is ready point click nautilus ultimate into knock-up into passive auto for snare somebody's gonna sit in the same place for a while and while you already have invested your gold into grievous wounds down there into the umi kind of like to see that the executioner's one was one of the first pickups there for ruler he knows he's going to be putting a lot of work into targets receiving healing and wants to be able to get to those those rent kills yeah i i think it's really good to point out because sadly it's while we talk about healing reduction a lot there have been so many games where one team has fallen behind and we just do not see healing reduction until fourth items in the super super late game and just denying that effectiveness early on having that option now for the entire game feels like a good pickup denying the shield bow early on or delaying the shield bow early on not the biggest deal as uh life and ruler have kind of held on to control of this lane with all the kill front that they do have and the big question the dragon control you can have bottom lane control for days that rip trail was about to time out so glid pops at bottom go over and use it as a little bit of distraction rotation down here from el yoyo with the umi on top of them they get the turret plate charge before transitioning important a little bit more pressure here on the bottom side cards yellow you're waiting oh it's hand fish for an engage oh yeah hesitating though doesn't want to over commit here zin's ultimate of course makes it very difficult if that is the priority target that they try to access will deny most of the range damage from lucian they have a reset from humanoid who looks like he's looking for a teleport any time you see mini map them just staying in fountain he's got to be looking for his teleport there it is how do you fight for the objective do not want to give up the second drake el yo waiting in stealth pushing forward a big alt is going to be crucial is finding the snare in the river you meet all now coming out but they're throwing the knight right back to the midst of the team that's gonna be one squishy kiana instantly deleted rascal throwing the alt across the bat side cards he firing back in the meantime human leaping in trying to lock down clip armor in the midst of every team the clone as well as him just spinning now gonna get dropped carson flashing out to safety absolute messy fight but humanoid going into the backside trying to finish off rule he's gonna grab one but no the spear is coming out finds the kill on life the ruler fires right back and they do split kills but really the biggest exchange dragon number two going over to genji they can keep stacking it this is how you want to play uh you know this set from from gen g force on that possible dragon soul as early as possible into the game so number two critical pivot point there they do come out exchanging the kills with you know humanoid flashing in to go get another one and exchanging his life there to finish off the support but mounting pressure now as bdd has been fending off the leblanc pressure mid lane they never actually blot uh brought the kiana to combine with humanoid as actually something i was kind of looking for as far as the opening you know the flash was blown keep up that pressure you know try and kiana burst him and really keep down this azir but since they did not spend resources into it he just kept farming he's up to a very suitable pace here's another look at how they finish it off of course they're the ones with the kalista they have the ren they have the extra saxon dragon uh does get the rivers done there but immediately kalista holds into nautilus forward this is why that bottom duo is so important it was actually rascal got um the big burst damage there at the end as well to finish off that first kill then trying to repeat here klid can't get out karzi good job here by him getting the last auto before flashing out you know what's exciting at the end you know getting a bit of gold for himself while exchanging and giving over the kill is is a bit of a risky maneuver because it also costs him a summer spell in flash so not quite worth it there no armada getting aggressive on the top side knowing that he has jungle and support in the area rascal gonna be forced to back away as they get a little more tower damage but it's 15 minutes not nearly as important as the early game and breaking down those plates for now genji holding on to the gold lead and i think important thing in that fight oh your second adult again very ineffective only hitting the snare on the nautilus not finding the stun on anybody else and credit to gen g for splitting up and not letting that cool down be impactful in the fight that's going to be huge as we move forward because alliance really need that cc if they want to win these team fights this is hard to fight against this natalis callista yeah they have to have a good ultimate but they also have to have dps to follow up on it so that that one kind of hadn't yeah it turns out if you don't hit people it's not cc or damage they uh the the good exchange though there is kind of old for all you're you're forcing the the knowledge or the kalista ultimate to get the nautilus but then he he has a way in and it's good fall up there from gen g this roof rail being started out though uh they do have their cooldowns back so mad lions should probably be able to finish it before the rotation comes through especially with humanoid playing body blocker oh the eyeball back is there they smite it they get it but they can't pick up the rewards hatch that eyeball sit on it like an egg the warmth of the nautilus yeah go squat on it there you go rascal it's your job you're a bouncer now nobody touches this eye oh yeah he's on watch grave is a good bouncer dude he's got the mafia skin it's perfectly thematic that's what we're waiting for is the thematic champion in skin kicks you know the the rift herald is actually quite evil too it's like uh it's a scuttle crab that got corrupted by the the evil presence of the baron pit oh wow and then turns out oh it's actually just the the progeny of graves uh didn't know that twitter he's coming he uh not a mammal he lays eggs who knew give him back a cigar get us out of here luna zecko now finished for humanoid very crucial item at this stage of the game of course bddr has his on the opposite side and you're now seeing the shield boat come in for ruler alongside the rage knife so the calista very big powerful threat bdd already kicked off to the sideline but naturally i do think we need to keep an eye on humanoid and el yo specifically the big mid jungle threat the power in theory to delete anyone on the map but can they make good on him i agree i want to live that dream too anytime i see you me in the game and you know a lot of people recoil but i look for who's going to be the star that gets the attachment buffs up your stats you get to chase people down get your kills well humanoid is level 11 and he finished his luden's echo so he's a good candidate as you mentioned soon to follow will also be oyoyo maybe they with this with the slow that yumi can get and the ultimate maybe they can set him up for a better one of his own going in immediately getting the kalista all in exchange life's still living though big major team fight all gone maybe mad want to use a little bit of the pressure they built up now to go for something the dragons spawning in 15 seconds they are the ones with priority access to the pit but they will not have the kiana alt for the fight so that one was actually a much better trade for mad of ultra even as though it's the same two because they also chunked out life and there was no engage follow up with the second half of the kalista ultimate so now no kalista ultimate nokiano ultimate not quite as much pressure there crucially no yumi ultimate either though now we can see yumi attached to armat here double wukong huge potential impact genji very much grouped up but obviously armageddon very telegraphed on the entrance you can see now he's fishing for the flank he has the flash have they spotted him on the wrap around however if you play the poke game versus mad you're going to lose they have a yumi on their team so poke from leblanc goes unanswered dragons started up leblanc showing in the lane though this might be the move pushing has bought prior for now cars the sidestep is clean alti coming out but there's no falls immediately it's armored on the back side he's gonna find one knock up ruler now getting out to safety clinton in the midst of everybody but matt lyons they started the fight and they're starting to take it rascal bdd still stepping forward life and ruler alive on the back side but they have to be careful humanoid another round of cooldowns might be able to end it who is going to get the drink oh yo in the pit but the dragon might kill if they can't end this one quickly now the fight kicking in again bdd from the backside instant double kill you mean can they get it kaiser wants a way out but he cannot find it yes they get the dragon but at what cost bdd was a monster in that fight the cost is a quadra four deaths on the side of mad lions and b d d once again on one of his singer champ singers or champions sweeps right in flash azir ultimate secures the extra kills good evasive maneuvers there from ruler because the flank from arma i thought i was going to set them up for a huge team fight there gets behind on the back line but immediate exhaust and flash come out and they're able to evade it for long enough to buy them time dragon dps actually was meaningful too yoyo the slow attack from uh ocean drake is so annoying uh big damage you'll see him right now he starts at full with the uh with the umi heal but ax effect replay will just show how long and how much dps the dragon does get out on him there's the first one sweeps right in um we actually have counterintuitive set up on top of your screen there with the triple uh slips back in dragon is just beating him down in the in the spoiler he gets his revenge he gets the kill on the dragon but bdd takes his whole team out for it uh kaiser wants to slip onto him and yoyo said there's not enough time friends sorry see you later sometimes you're so focused on getting revenge on the dragon that you hang your entire team out to dry now there's nothing you could have done probably to save that team fight well played by bdd and now genji very much in control 3k gold advantage azir scaling up at two items we got double triple healing reduction they are not gonna let this yumi be impactful whatsoever graves looking stronger calista looking terrifying it's gonna be hard for mad lions in the minutes to come and some of the the properties for yumi can still be super annoying because you do give your passive you know increase your stats whoever you're on and you get your your cues and your slows and you set them up but that's generally more when you're on somebody who's super far ahead and then you wouldn't care about the heel as much in this case they actually need both properties of the champion to to sustain through the later stages because genji um you know set themselves up so well here with the secure setup three you know two shield bows plus the gore drinker uh lots of steel caps down here four steel caps on the side of gen g so if it's not humanoid bursting somebody down takes a lot more time and effort for any of the other mad lines options that's why i would prophesize that you'll have kaiser more often on humanoid and come up with that kind of game saving leblanc pick because there's so much armor there is not magic resistance to have to deal with and he's gonna try and pierce it and that's even more amplified by the fact that we do see moonstone come out on you me now super standard but we have seen a lot of luden's echoes interestingly enough now admittedly there's been a lot of games where yumi's gotten that gigafed i guess would be the official term so i'm not sure if this is more standard it's just a product that yumi's being fed but the downside of course is while you might have more sustain you are packing less magic damage and again you highlighted it ninja tabbies alone are gonna do so much work as we get later in the game plus as much as mad lions are such a good team fighting team and it got them back into so many games inside the lec guess what gen g did and they're not gonna split up and give a lot of opportunities you see 4-1 here from them teleport should be answered by graves quickly if he doesn't start channeling he won't be there this is going to be big though bdd already has the tower set up genji can just reteach the tower and fight on their own territory humor are getting incredibly incredibly low he's running for the hills they've already taken down the clone but bdd essentially training his passive for that tp on the opposite side radical of course was forced to respond but now genji can just push forward with confidence into this mad lion's tier two arm and off on the flank clip looking to look to get something started here now the colon coming out life getting lower and lower clint forced to use the ultimate instantly into the wall that's gonna hit four that's massive that's what matt are waiting for clint now going down armored into the backside oh and there goes the yumi on that's a double looking for a triple manages to take down ruler as well he might even want the quadra bdd is going back under the tower but he held on to the alt this long will walk away that's it bad lights find their team fight as much doubt is about to set up here huge huge flank and there it is el yoya yeah your first kiana ultimate kind of a whiff second one and the river kind of a whiff but this one big comeback so much gold needed here by that lions huge and then the follow from armad as well big big use of these team fighting ultimates this is what they're known for these sorts of comebacks you see the flank lined up all along that wall and uh guess what that's all you have to do that's what you get that's all you get to see before they kill you slapped and not safe for work tag on that bad boy that was the last thing gen g saw before they woke up in the fountain boom [Laughter] got him now perfect replay there you go genji is still a small lead still powerful but you can see how in the context of a big team fight if madd can hit that massive cooldown key on alt especially alongside the wukong alt the fights get much easier and can't even be mad favored genji still getting stronger bdd is still very scary ruler's still a big threat a hard champion to lock down we'll see how this one works out armour stepping forward his ultimate's not available yet so perfect timing for gen g matt just did not have the tools to even remotely contest that yeah no no early push to try and uh push out mid wave and move through there no push on bottom either to gain access and so it makes it kind of hard yeah matt you know had a bit of a pincer going but just a little bit slower than genji genji's have been so good at setting up the objective first very secure too since maybe you get a flank and you have two assassins but they easily have two points they can use as their front lines so since they're all still grouped up it doesn't really give you a great opportunity like that flank did up on the top side of the map where you're coming from the side of the wall and you have really great access there for huge wrap-around kiana ultimate so this one since you're not there quick enough for matt i like the call not to commit to it it's kind of afforded to them by the earlier dragon number three that they they actually paid a a huge price to get that bought them this time around uh to delay that sole but next one gonna be very difficult set up here ocean soul would be big for gen g maybe it gives them that extra edge to sustain through some of the bursts from these assassins no if you can get that extra life coming back for for everybody along with some of the defenses they've been able to stack and certainly as well for the azir getting there first getting the vision first being able to set up forcing mad lions to come into you rather than you having to go into mad lions is a massive difference for a champion like to see here for the victors the oriannas of the world these control mages love it if you have to walk into them it's so good for you you get so much free damage but have to see genji can fight for that mid lane control if they can find that avenue for now very close in the gold but seoul also a big thing three and a half minutes so genji can potentially just take that soul and massively change what these fights can look like as that healing will be big against the assassins taking a bit of poke here now backing off again top side control the name of the game dragon still very far away so baron really the only major objective on the map that has to be concerned about humanoid trying to push out the sideline before moving up to potentially join the team like it try and set up the pressure first that bottom tower is about to fall over uh fall over and that'd be a great place to put that gold if they could get it uh get the tower kill to humanoid problem is because genji have done such a good job you see taking away any vision from the side of mad lions and pushing out their mid wave your mid prio plus your vision control means split pushing is so difficult they can roam down with numbers they can you know push you out of any of this this territory here so good defense there by genji not letting any of this gold go over before the next team fight and a lot of this leblanc build is around cooldown reduction so it's not it's not quite as bursty as trying to find that really nice satisfying pop onto the back side he's about to hit level 16 though so the extra level in your ultimate puts through a lot more success as far as trying to actually you know kill bdd or ruler problem is shield bow on both of the 80 carry members and then zhonya's now being just completed by bdd he can zonia's through uh one of the chains and block one of your combos next time he sees the ultimate q come out or something like that you can avoid so much damage plus we'd love to see those bdd azir sex going in for the big play so he can use it either way i think the later in the game you go though uh the harder the azir sec becomes because you are very much risking getting one shot the good news is of course you highlighted the item defensive itemization options are easy and you can always zonias but i think we've i've seen domestically at least i don't know if you've had the same experience in lcs but you see so many guys who they do these your second one item and they're like yes and then they get three items and they try to do a zero sec they get one shot they're like wait i'm not the azure set guy anymore i'm the team fight damage guy now i can't be taking risks like this hey man you gotta take me take some risks in your life uh spice it up a little you don't wanna do the same old every single time i mean zero's been alive for you know like more wise 10 000 years or whatever reincarnated emperor he gets bored you got to flip it every once in a while especially with guys like bdd who have literally been playing his entire career he's seen it all i remember when i got a knock-up and a shield on this e i remember when i only had one sand sorcerer i could put w on the tower to do bonus damage oh man if you've never experienced that his year you're lucky i envy you it's a darn it's a dark time in many league players mine but okay humanoid did get his level 16 and and genji solo laner is yet to acquire theirs so a little bit of an advantage trying to go in for the poke now and you highlighted earlier cooldown reduction just about that poke not about that big satisfying pop until maybe health bars are a little bit lower but can just keep spamming these cooldowns ton of ability hates at this point in the game yumi gonna back back that up a little bit as well again not the luden's build but still a decent amount of damage here with the chem tech pure uh putri fire and despite graves wounds items are being picked up all over the place on the side of gen g if you just continue to go in for this poke and you don't get locked in for the all-in from mad lions you slowly acquire that advantage giant staring contest here i'm not gonna burn that cool down now wukong uh relatively long cooldowns on the basic ability they're not gonna commit to this one but he's just gonna turn right back on top of them exhaust going down pulling over the wall now humanoid jumping onto the entire team not a lot of damage coming out but big goal from el yoja they stack up against the waba bdd again he wants to turn up a humanoid he's already found his priority target they're still living they're holding on they've got all those grievous wounds but they can't finish the kill it's a master class in 2v2 3v2 rather is the yumi's still part of the fight but cliff bdd holding on elio get ready to go over the wall but they're going to turn immediately oh man close fight at the end of the day matt take it and who's left standing it's the uv empowered leblanc gen g i think they made a large thunder right at the beginning of this fight chasing arma so far into the jungle in between these two walls in between this corridor you are just asking for the double ultimate arma turns it around on them good job by him to lure genji through this death corridor behind dragon pit he immediately then flashes on three members big knock up rascal takes 80 percent of his life and shields will pop just from the culling over the wall and armor on him so good flash here he sets it up you meet oh plus wukong el yoja keep your eyes top of the screen he comes around they're between the two walls multiple knock-ups he flashes in gets the big old then it's about to chase down on the outside though vdd even with exhaust on him walls over they get the kill onto kalista finishing him off humanoid tried to get the chain there through onto vdd locks up klid instead sonia's is used early and since eliot on the other side of the screen has yumi plus was able to get the honey fruit enough damage to finish off the azir and easily set up oyo um excuse me humanoid we own that one yeah the longer the fight goes the the more the team with yumi is happy as much work as bdd can put in on the azir we don't have numbers here for healing numbers so damage numbers are great but sustain also goes a long way it certainly does uh impressive team fight from the side of mad felt very closer when human first calling over the wall felt great humanoid jumping over the wall didn't do that much damage initially but then of course the follow up a clean alt from el yoja again the first three not good four and five great i mean that if you are going to request which alts are going to be good you would want a power curve that's better later into the game you know the more critical ones so let's take a look at this baron attempt from gen g over the back of the wall there's no vision they have no idea until they mouse over they see the teleport you can see teleport's in fog but it's too late getting lower oh yeah he can just off the wall maybe they can get something back is going in big damage clint now he has the pass to protect him but he's still gonna get locked up here there he's gonna take down the jungler life giving his life as well and gen g gonna retreat three strong they've still got baron but there's a brief window now for mad to punish and what it's about is that what you get after that because two kills if it's just that for baron is not too shabby of a trade but because you give over your two kills it's not just that kill gold it's your map pressure and there's so much here standing for mad lions to take mid tower evaporates and even with the baron buff here still 25 seconds left on 15 left there on life so they don't have the presence actually forced on either of these and mad lions taking the time to push out every single lane rasco fancies himself a 1v1 all right smoke screen already used i'll go gaming humanoid all right they are hurting humanoid very slowly but surely into the waiting arms of bdd he's going to dash through he's going to push back graves is now walking back to the clone spot but humanoid still manages to make it out well you always remember this day as the day you wasted time running after the leblanc thought we were going to go with the the classic captain there yeah i did i used it all it's been used too many times sir too many times genji though they still now will retain the the baron buff so see what they can actually do pushing out mad lions were pretty happy with being able to get mid turret push on bottom side there as well and humanoid buying them plenty of time uh avoiding both solar laners from the side of gen g gets pretty good gold outcome out of it minus over 1300 gold here for the side of gen g off of that baron so far and again waiting for that next big team fight seoul still on the table for gen g in a minute and 30 seconds and i think crucially earlier it was the ability haste built for leblanc but now that she's got the death cab we're back to full-on damage she can definitely pop somebody and as highlighted earlier mostly physical damage there's no mr and now the fight's kicking off oh yeah again to the back line they're trying to delete the entire team ruler now running for his life but he's holding on for now humanoid immediately leads to the back line trying to isolate the primary characters but elo is getting burned down the umi healing is still coming in clutch the grievous wounds are not enough humanoid is popping people left and right bdd rascal ruler standing strong with humanity flashing in alongside the w ruler blinking health bar no major objectives on the map right now but they're trying to take away these last barons and humanoid just leaping in leaping out healing up and doing it again it's beautiful to watch the the kite and poke play style here when you have yumi trying to make use of your annoying mobility with your leblanc's with your kiana poke them down then rely on that healing cooldown to go for round number two in the end though it only gets kind of a two for one as far as the kills go and and gen g able to fight their way out of the majority of this dangerous situation vdd remember was not there at the beginning of the fight and he's the one that does the most work for this team as far as dps output so teleport was used arrived a little bit late and mad lions now heart push up mid mad lions have mid prio but all the vision is still set up in the favor of gen g they need to move back to the subjective 11 seconds until it spawns has just respawned and will head to that one this could be the fight that decides the game oh yoga has his ultimate similar story outside ruler's still waiting on his that's gonna be big bdd does not have his ultimate potentially a small window where matt can force a fight oh he can blast cone into the brush inside dragon pit but it'll turn around and aggro him dragon can't be sold certainly will not be genji are giving up creeps just to be here it's a massive way of stacking not gonna be too impactful yet but again going in he's going to find three-man lock up the pullback is there ruler throwing them back in the midst of the team they've held the line they've held the front line genji standing strong but it's humanoid on the flank he's trying to burn down rascal but it's not enough bdd going forward bdd hungry for blood oh you're invisible for a moment leaping and dashing and trying to get the job done and he'll make it happen needs to wait a few seconds to get the grass played back up carson on the flank human right on the flank gen g are being picked apart they tried to fight front to humanoid locked up they want to finish the job he's invisible but not nearly enough they get no they do not get the soul card he takes it away but gen g they've taken the fight they can run butlin they can take even more see the thing with forcing on an objective gen g are the ones that want the all-in for the fight so matt chunking in they just continue it forced down the extra kills here on the carry so genji they acquired the kills they wanted except for the dragon karzi was able to steal it away no soul but the death timers are all they need draco's they're pushing in seven seconds on armour now gonna see the recall from el yo but breaking that bot lane inhibitor is massive now a point of pressure a minute and 20 seconds till the baron and those super minions are gonna be knocking on the bottom side of mad lion's base so the full commit here on on the opening gets a decent chunk onto raspberry not enough burst damage you see humanoid tries to flank around and pick him off but the flash from last goal saves his life so they don't get the triumphs the thought big damage now going in rascal isolated taken out no flash this time around he flashed in the last team fight to avoid the combo from humanoid and even though genji were to push them out of the river karzi with the last bit of damage on that lucian the big hero for them denies the soul gets themselves to seoul point three oceans in a row picked up there not in a row but nevertheless three that's all that matters three next one will be soul point for either side and again as we head into i keep saying this but what could be the final fight of the game remember the stakes of this group this is the group where everybody in the world feels like anybody can get out after yesterday matt were looking beatable and if genji took them down today they would have felt like the favorites to make it out of this group in first place but matt are now firing back we could be in a group at the end of this day with four teams at one and one pressure just continues to rise every single one of these best of ones matters so much certainly does and then the high pressure situations like baron spawning now the pressure mounts there's no vision and no attempt from gen g to even get to that side of the map they're making a play at a pick on this side they've completely given it up this will be mad lions baron massive for the mad lions see what they can do with it now genji's first band they had a lot of members picked off they didn't really get to use that pressure too much across the map mad lions all five members getting it is big the sacrifices mad lions made to get both the first dragon which remember cost them several deaths to delay the ocean soul points and then the sacrifices in the preceding ones and being able to pick up the last one paid off so big because now they've scaled guess what everyone always referring to the yumi scaling is dream situations like this where you've got multiple assassins for the yumi to jump on and in power becomes very difficult here for uh for gen g they can try and rely on bdd fight around him he has huge carry potential huge damage output but there are so many angles that they have to worry about and have to cover from mad they're just making the call to split baron empowered recalls means you can answer these calls very effectively but they're keeping no okay they even get leblanc back so they successfully forced all the recalls out of mad lions just with the bottom side push here uh baron empowered ones means it doesn't cost them anything good from gen g to recognize that that's one of the ways that they can force mad not to utilize that baron of course maybe flashbacks of the game we saw earlier today the big base race between fbx and c9 not wanting to take any of those risks even though they are the ones with the baron buff so wasting some of this time on the baron of course all the tier twos were essentially already gone so there's really not a lot to easily take with this baron but i love it a death bush from gen g is it gonna work out for them teleport is there for humanoid he's currently pushing up mid rascals is about to come up so i doubt they'll force the fight before rascal's cooldown comes up a couple more seconds there he goes should have it doesn't see anybody they might not even be there observers oh i mean well played but you're being now they're going to see it they can start to poke they can get genji out of the area a minute to that also crucial ocean soul will spawn whoever takes this dragon gets ocean soul i love the tension created they're building the thriller guesswork fog of war any second thank you i'm sorry are you scared it doesn't sound like you're scared that's not like scared there we go humanoid breaks down the midland tier uh blast tower there and is going to look to take this inhibitor pretty quickly of course has enough ap burns through this pretty rapidly remember madeline make a mistake though you know they rely on a lot of poke and then kite play pattern here to make useful use of the yumi so a lot of multiple directions you want to kind of split split your positioning but still focus fire so it creates kind of this dichotomy where you need the positioning early on with your wards they should be able to get this ocean that thing evaporates so they're the ones that finally went out the the long arduous war of the ocean drake of 2021 41 minutes into the game mad lions prevail this might be an eight drake game you know we're all oh teleport flake they're going for it that lion's pitcher that is a deep teleport they didn't see the channel recalls are staggered bdd's gonna have to tp into this one are they gonna jump right onto ruler waiting time kobe the call is coming from inside no it's not they're gonna back away don't matter they really got us with that one do they know the tp is gone that would be the question because that is a cooldown that could be like how did he get here i believe he teleported sir sneaky monkey all right they're back inside the base now i'm gonna step four are they gonna go for the engage well are they feeling confident in the meantime they can just like humiliate one or two autos at a time eventually break this down but i feel like we just keep getting more and more hyped we're in the filler arc of the anime it's time to fight boys let's go yeah i mean it's so difficult now for a gen g because you only cut so much healing um even at reduced properties here when you've got yumi on the team plus the ocean uh soul they can easily avoid a lot of these all-ins how hard is it you know life yeah you can throw out the hook but guess what wukong's got answers lucian's got answers everybody on this team has dashes has answers to try and avoid the win that's a scoop d he does manage to hit him but now he has to go gold in spite but more time like now going in there trying to lock up the carry but a massive ball now they're fighting into the pitch into the waiting arms of a wukong but life ruler maybe they can get this done ruler still barreling through this calista can they kill him she's just so strong but human right now and the flight ruler has to survive ruler has to make it through humanoids on slack can he do it can he finish the job that's the ga proct he's walking away but mad surely they've come out to win the day no life buying more time for rascal to now retreat rulers still standing it is an absolute blood bath at the end of the day matt lyons slightly advantaged you me chase down finds everyone except for rascal teleports out they can save the base and there's still a minute left on the baron so your death timers are not long enough that doesn't mean baron there is still more fight left in this game baby 43 and a half minutes in we still haven't even hit the peak ring the bell baby it's time for round two round three round four whatever you want to call it one more fight oh genji i feel like they backed themselves into the corner the good news is even in the ocean soul they have so much healing reduction on this composition but they can't afford to make another mistake elio gets another good alt this game is over it's so hard for them to chase down any of the stragglers out of these team fights though so even if you have a good opening oh my god they got him they pincer you know karzi's down flash exhaust down for the lucian it you can't pin down any of the other assassins and yumi actually gets to switch between them full value here with the sustain they draw it out they poke down they pick up another person they pick up another person and mad lions are able to slowly whittle down uh the members of genji finally picking them off and getting objective in the aftermath but this super minions up mid bear now on the map you can push out your side waves first you see quickly sending humanoid down the bottom side his teleport is ready and meanwhile genji no they're forced not too many options here have to group up try and get your mid prior back and then force oh a typical position to be in inelia again waiting in the darkness time is not in genji's favor so mad just need to play a little bit cautiously here you fraud and pro and poke but you don't fall victim to a brush game all you have to do is buy time slowly leblanc will win you the game at the inhibitor now chunking it down super minions will buff each other up there you go cautious play here for medlines to finish it out exactly as you should so hard for genji to find a way back in this game so hard for genji to even find a 5v5 if that's what they're looking for because as you highlighted humanoid already so so slippery so hard to lock down but when you've got a yumi on this team as well there's no reason for them to group mad lion so they're gonna force the baron again genji looks like they just have to concede this but if they can see this one if mad lions push in and take a third inhibitor then if that's not the game surely the elder dragon will be and at that point two three inhibitors down mad might not even need to force a 5v5 that objective you know what everybody's game plan at these late stages of the game when you're behind like this is your your game plan is i hope that they force a fight on elder dragon and we win a smite flip because elder dragon is the great is the great equalizer that would allow you to actually win the team fight to finish off people so if you can stall out until then and then win a flip on an elder dragon that would be your hope mad lions they don't have to give you the opportunity though with baron buff with two lines of super minions all you have to do is focus on top side and just pin down gen g wait for your minions to do some work for you see they're not committing just waiting for the extra reinforcements the sixth man on the field the super's coming in yep mad lyons obviously prays for their team fighting but knowing when not to fight also an important skill as humanly gonna go for a bit of poke here on the clip massive damage now frees up the mad bottom lane to move in on the top side and break down the third inhibitor gen g on life support just surviving as best as they can but if they lose a single member here the game will end they might not even need to lose anybody as matt just keep the siege going goes in fake wukong now locked up instantly the ulti on to the nexus and that's gonna do it genji they're hoping to find something back bdd firing trying to get anything done he's gonna push him away he's got big damage he's exhausted armor though still it's just not enough he goes golden he's got a stopwatch too but he just cannot make the play happen matt lyons close out with confidence and fans around the world rejoices yumi finds another successful victory at all seriously congrats to mad lions weathering that early deficit absolutely and i think very intelligently and very consciously trading out fairly fairly large prices at stalling out long enough to actually find that gun for the assassins with union attached to them you know poking and prodding stealing away some of these dragons yes costing you a lot of gold but they successfully delayed the game then controlled it late much much better yeah the patience that they played the end of the game with was was fantastic to watch didn't take any unnecessary fights waited for genji to be split waiting for genji to have to respond to super minions before they started their second parent of the game went and got that ocean soul now it was like it was not flaw it was sketchy when when carzi came in on lucian and had to steal that dragon i think mad fans were sweating it was not the cleanest victory of all time but once matt were in complete control once mad were fighting the team fights that they were winning they played it incredibly incredibly well certainly did and as you hoped inside the game this is now one one one one group uh supposed to be close to me one more time next game baby next game we figure it out which just means you just implied that tl are going to lose so i don't um we're going to 201 1102 potentially we'll find out like i said you know two hours of sleep 2-0 it's meant to be and we're just minutes away of course from team liquid versus lng we're getting a peek into the decisive moment from tl's great win yesterday and sounds of the game presented by bose just got first it wasn't even potential oh and before tonight they can't even affect it oh this is like that one was dude actually nice [Music] my [Music] a lion oh yes the king of the jungle dying for a quick red bull red bull but you still won't be quicker than the lion i don't have to be quicker than the lion just quicker than you red bull gives you wings [Music] [Music] now come and watch me [Music] let me show you what you've been missing the parties [Music] i [Music] [Music] 100 [Music] [Music] let me [Music] on your face [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] i just wanna be free [Music] no [Music] [Applause] it all leads to this make or break fatality [Applause] a new era is waiting [Applause] make it yours and welcome back to iceland for world's 2021 group stage mad lions pick up their first win here against genji and elliot seconds before this interview you were telling me what banger this game was but i mean there was a lot of back and forth but when you compare it to the game you had yesterday against team liquid it felt way more like an alliance game we've been used to seeing in the early so what was different for you in terms of draft and also decision making in-game in draft i felt way more comfortable i feel more comfortable with canada than with german as you could see also uh i think the first game of mad alliance is always disaster so we had to get away all the end we had yesterday so today we could play a bit better i still think that we had some shaky performance and in mid game we have to fix many things but we learned a lot from these official games and it's not mistakes that we are doing that much in scrims so i think it's still because we're still a bit uh not nervous but it's still like we're getting used to the stage and i think we're going to show a way better performance coming in exams next time to get used to it especially on the world stage we'll get back to the improvement a bit later um i want to have your take on the draft because you decided to let kalista and azir open when we know that there are very strong peaks for ruler and bdd why did you decide that we knew they they would go for those peaks and they would have a really strong early game comp but we were confident in being able to hold them and i think we had a really good early game but the transition from early to mid was a bit problematic so we were just confident that we would be able to hold them in early and meet game and then we would beat them in like team nice that you had this confidence i bet that you didn't go on twitter yet but everyone was really impressed with this kiana performance from you today with the clutch holds and the responsibilities you have for your team how would you rate this performance today i think it would be six or seven okay a bit more on that please like well what could have done better maybe i think uh i gave some bad calls that costed us some turrets and some gold also some fights i could have played a bit better with the grass like i remember one fight in which as it was super low hp and i took the blue instead of the green if i take green there i think i can hold more and probably kill him so i it was shaky but i think i also have some good team fights so yeah it would be six seven yeah really really good plays and really good alts also from this kiana you were talking about the improvements you will be looking at for the next games a bit more on that and what can we expect from that lions especially against orlando lng tomorrow i i think tomorrow's game is gonna be a banger i mean i'm really excited to play tarzan because he's the one that i've learned from the most so i wanna play him like i'm really excited to blame and i just hope it's fun i hope it's a banger of a match we are not going to make it either like i mean we might make it to once a day for us but like it will be for sure banger all right for sure we'll be looking at this game of course thank you so much for the interview looking forward to seeing you face against tarzan tomorrow and we're going to take a break now before hitting the last game of the day team liquid versus lng coming up right after this [Music] you
