RGE vs. G2 | 2021 LEC Spring Week 4 Day 2

[Music] and welcome back to the lec i didn't hit a single one you didn't hit a single one wait but i was crazy how long are we gonna keep us going do we get to see me throw the boro because i was criticized very heavily for the posture but i didn't watch the clip i don't know if i throw poorly we'll find out about that later and ultimately it's honestly not that important right now i'm dracos this is cadrell we're gonna be guiding you through well the formerly fifth and now fourth game of the day and of course the remate game coming up later um excited to be here excited to keep you guys entertained trust in excel and fnatic to get their boys ready and trust in us to keep you going we'll take care of you through match of the week you know it's going to be a very exciting one rogue versus g2 currently rogue at the top of the standings contested now by g2 a win here for rogue cements them as the number one team as we head into the second round robin whereas g2 can tie own the head-to-head and uh overall be in a pretty good position if they take this win the growth of rogue has been insane through last year finishing first in the regular split lot in summer and now sitting first top of the table in spring 2021 and i feel like rogue's evolution has been like from baby g2 to teenage g2 and now and g2 version two i feel like for the first time in a long time if you followed the broadcast they've gone through cases they're calling on baby g2 we called them baby origin rogue have gone through so many iterations where they've felt like the budget version or the baby version of another team and it feels like this is the year where we're finally seeing rogue come into their own coming to their own identity where we no longer have to say oh this is baby x or this is baby y or this is budget this is rogue it changes the words wrong it's rogue baby let's go there you go and i think on the opposite side for g2s we do just have a minute until we get to champion select i think that this is a team that we've seen rogue experimenting and it feels like very deliberate experimentation we heard um in multiple interviews whether it be you know behind the scenes or from from ashley kang over there horizon talking with larson about how this is deliberate experimentation they don't want to be the one trick scaling whatever kind of team and on the opposite side for g2 definitely experimentation a little bit less deliberate but still absolutely a powerhouse team that has to be respected yeah i spoke to one of their coaches i mean he said that rogue are looking at worlds but looking at doing more at worlds and just getting there and i think that executing these hard-to-play perfect play comps in the spring to summer it's going to help rogue especially when they get to the world to stage the international stage so they can actually show up there rather than just arrive so i'm really going to see how rogue developed throughout the split i think these hard to execute comps although they're eight and one or seven and one have been working for them i just feel like they're one loss was because of these comps but if they can perfect this gameplay perfect their drafts then going into international looking having their eyes on international events is a lot bigger picture for rogue it absolutely is and i think worlds is definitely a far far away or is far far away but development week to week is is hugely important and the fact that rogue no longer have to worry about being top three you know this is somewhere they're sitting quite comfortably the fact that they no longer have to worry about just winning games week to week is a big step the fact that they can even be like we're the team thinking about how far we can go at worlds is fantastic this is it how hyped you want to get this is what i've been waiting for if you wanted to it's been a long pause this is everything match of the week this is what we need two best teams left two one let's go go [Applause] [Music] [Music] this is it getting into the draft i'll be the two best teams in europe facing off against each other it must feels like a long time and of course the senate immediately banned away do not want to see what they saw from g2 yesterday with mickey x farming up and reckless having well just about a million range and of course as we get into draft it's important to know there are so many stakes in this game and we're going to get to talk about them once we are actually on to the rift but for now we'll focus on the compositions and the strategies that both teams are going to be bringing to the table thresh banned away the sena banned away udyr and kaiser on the opposite side a lot more bot lane focused than i expected initially coming out in this draft lots of bot lane bans the thresh meaning ophelia's off the table kaisen senna the fasting center has gone away as well so lots of 80 bands like you said rail still open would your band away rise by the way interestingly against caps which is actually something only larson and captain played i believe to success although the yesterday's game for g2 was very sloppy um the tf is banned away against larson as well so i think looking at champions like rel and olaf right now and this is one of those rare games where we can look across all lanes and expect even match-ups and that means that counterpicks and favorable lane matches that you can build in draft are even more important for now it's the lilia locked in early do we just see the graves coming here from jankos obviously the previous game self-made was popping off on this alley wonder if we could see the same thing from inspired you heard from the desk earlier you were there as well inspired contesting number one if not number one right now in terms of european junglers yeah and jankos is definitely someone he has to match or overtake if he wants to prove that point but the royal gets picked up the lilia first picks fighting string i think this champ has risen to priority because of the fall of the 80 junglers in a sense graves is still up there uh we have terms like the nidalee and the olaf which are kind of like the top tier jungles night right now alongside lilia but jin being picked up from g2 is a good early pickup especially with this many ad bands so rogue they want to pick something like the psyop do they want to go something like the mf they need to pick up a suboptimal led with these ads taken away but i think xayah has been working for rogue really well as long as hans doesn't flash over walls 1v3 hey to be fair once or twice that has worked out very positively for him so you can see why he might have taken the risk in the first place that's why i like the rally like the gin they don't synergize super well in the same way that a rel kaiser might now so i want to see other tools put together on this g2 composition that'll enable the rel with that cc with that bind to find these big long range engages and rogue i actually really like what they're doing here yeah they are smurfing this draft by looks very i mean i like the gragas remington rennington top is obviously going to be set in stone but the gragas is going to go into support it looks like because the lily has already been picked up so i'm guessing that roger looking at things like the kalista things like the mf so i'm the only problem with what they've done here is the g2 can ban away more ads against them so does g2 want to match top here into the rennington not only have they picked up their rents and greg as flex they've also denied greg as top from g2 into the rennington so their only option is volleyball and they're forced to pick their jungler so that's something they could decide to ban away against wunder and give rennington free reign in the top side so dragon support g2 probably going to target these here memes aside this is not a pick that yanks has played yet this season a lot of people like to give him crap for his nidalee spears i don't think that that necessarily is going to be an issue a game it's something we can track but i think in general nidalee has been very underwhelming so far in the lec you're seeing much more consistent results from junglers like lilia in the ap category and now see what g2e sports can get done here in the early game certainly a lot of poke tools certainly a lot of early skirmish tools on their composition but going up against the lethal threats of the gragas they're enacted will be difficult see what uh reckless and mickey x can do in that bot lane and how rogue want to pair that gragas sport with something that han sama can bring to the table zalista has been banned and i imagine we'll see maybe another aggressive support taken off the board yeah and you can see rogue banning away top laner so both these teams have an advantage in draft in the sense that g2 can ban away the carries or rock have to go through some optimal ad and row can keep investing in top bands to force them onto a swap on top laner because they've also taken away the gragas so i'm interested to see what rogue want to pick up through here for ads i think draven is a handsomer classic especially when it gets down lower in the tier list but jin it's actually good in draven so i don't expect something like that to come out unless he's really really feeling it lucian band that's targeting larsen i think that's actually a really good band something i shouldn't think of myself because you have the ap jungle and you have the 80 top so having an ad mid as well really benefits that lilia so she's the only ap damage and magic damage on your team so good notice from g2 they'll have to see a rogue one to find a way on the last pan we'll have something like the volleyball or they want to find a way like a mid laner from caps perhaps like the azir or things along these lines taking their time debating on the options here right now we have very beefy front lines of sustained damage on the side of the road waiting to see kind of what carry components get added here to make this really come together the vola bear taking off the board such a smart draft from rogue the greg has rented in two three to ban away more tops to force g2 to pick their jungler otherwise that's getting bent out as well so they kind of put g2 in a bit of a corner there but g2 also have their own little trap card with the ad band so what's wrong going to pick up mf is something that's actually fine for them it's not like a sub-optimal pick in general but the quinn top into the renekton is something that rogue might have expected or gone on the radar because wunder's already played this into the ranks i think this is the notorious running encounter right and renekton tries to dash in and just knock him back and then you chase him down so wunder definitely flex on his quinn here it's one of his most comfortable champions i think in this rendington matchup because we've seen him play it so many times but the really important thing to note here is that this matchup is very volatile if clint gets ahead it's essentially unplayable for renekton he has to be willing to flash done to get anything done we expect uh wonder most likely to take cleanse this match up to mitigate that potential threat but if you do die if you do fall behind renekton gets ahead of you it still is very very difficult and with the way wunder was playing yesterday he can't afford to make a lot of those same mistakes that said azir the premier hyper scaling ap threat in the mid lane is going into the hands of larsen in this one and that's going to be a threat that has to be paid attention to from the side of g2 look at the difference in clumps rogue have so much team fight so much zone control so much engage whereas g2 have so much single target damage winning lanes focus much on early game and getting advantages individually or in the 2v2 so that's available to a full squishy team of g2 that's surprising normally we see vayne against things like olaf volleyball rennington things running out to you but this g2 comp is very single target damage very low hp so that's quite a confusing pick from the side of hands i was expecting something like desire but the vein has been locked in draco's one it's only hans on my second game in lec history he won his one other game in 2019 spring but gonna have to see if he can double down on that now we've got the echo and cadre when we came into this draft i said you know what look i expect rogue to be able to match the g2 laners but g2 have drafted to prove me wrong because if g2 pop off in this early game there is no room for rogue to play their composition yeah although the mid lane is not winning in the early stages because there's a range champ look at g2's comp it's an early game farming power farming jungler with two huge solo laners which are side laners there are one through one it's easy to spot it's a full one through one comp get gold on the solar laners jin's the wave clear rail's the form of engaging team fights if they need but rogue on the other hand if you need scaling rogue's got a baby azir vane what more do you want the problem i see with this vein pick is there's no frontline on g2 but yes he can shred the whole members of g2 but the problem is that he's running into a lot of damage threats so if he gets dope and he does get killed in this early to mid game stage i'm not sure how this vein can ever really come online but g2 have definitely drafted a harder composition and we're gonna have to find out who can come out on top it is time for rogue versus g2 in our match of the [Music] week here we are onto the rift and the thing about these kind of games g2 games and most certainly road games recently is that no matter what you think is going to happen for both these competitions no matter what the scaling looks like no matter what you think the optimal choices are this is not a game you get to predict easily this is a game that can have unexpected twists and turns where small openings or small windows can be blown wide open to massive leads and it's something that has to be respected and larson didn't take his hands off the keyboard and that is uh certainly going to matter in the early game yeah you're so right with that point g2 there's a lot of variable change in their games they have the clutch factor although their draft might be weak their gameplay might not be that clean in the early stages their g2 at the end of the day so rogue although i think their comps a lot better scales better more teamfight a lot clearer win conditions g2s is very single target damage win lane win game kind of s comp so g2 is definitely they're the ones in the driving seat here they want to have to push the game forward and start snowballing this game whereas rogue are a lot more chillaxed with this draft they're a lot more it's quite surprising because rogue like the lucian made they like the zyra kind they like this all in kind of play style but their scaling is incredible so i'm excited to see how this 131 comb of g2 plays out as am i and frankly i'm always excited to see the wonder versus otawom name match up in the top side at this one expected to be quite wonder favored but the thing that always comes to mind when i look back at these players is back when odawamne played for h2k and wonder played for splice in 2016 they played a full best of five where they played gnar gp back to back five games in a row and it's stuff like that that i think rivalries are built on look what inspired us did he just did red raptors now he's running to jankos raptors perhaps he knew he started on red and he's just gonna take them away in his face which means jankos can't get level three as easily inspired might get level three off this raptor take if he did get some xp in mid but jankos now has to pass towards the bot side of the map with no raptors so inspired playing pretty well there just identifying the fact that he's faster than nidalee with these clears he has the mid priority and wunder is not high enough level to actually collapse and punish this jankos did know because of the award earlier of course but uh yeah raptors taken away and it's something that is so good to see because when lilia first came out basically the general consensus was you never take raptors against this champion and it's a part of our kit that we don't always see abused in the early game but inspired sees that wind of opportunity takes that camp away puts jankos a little bit behind and you can see without that red buff the ankles was already getting low in his regular clear whereas inspired is just zooming through no problem at all yeah good notes from inspire that gets one camp up but the lanes are playing out as we expected right when they're pushing in top punishing autoimmune every cs he goes for it because of the range advantage and larson doing the opposite in mid where he's pushing caps in making sure he tries to punish him on the last hits but g2 has the only ball prior gin into vayne gin can push these waves in but like i said this mid match up is definitely gonna get in favor of caps on this one item spike trying to trade on that fourth shot see what the setup looks like for mickey can at any moment leap in some room to interrupt from trimby though he's gonna make this lane a little bit more difficult for now honestly calm across the rift well hold that thought so you may be able to fight over the scuttle crab here yeah inspired one level up young because he's getting hit by the spell so you might have to jump away here mid prior in favor of rogue so yanko's gonna have to give this one up now inspired could actually take this crab and run towards the top side and try to go for a double crab here not only does he take his raptors as you can see in the siesta 24-20 one camp up you'll also get this crap by luke smith but mid as larson moved so this could turn on inspire its head he has the world spot out caps though can't step forward just trying to buy space honestly for jankos bot lane is going to be will come down before ice on all comes down to bottling rogue do move first though oh and this is so good hot sam and trump be getting the push early on so nice early wave clear not quite there for the g2 side yet this is one of the big strengths of gragas in general even a level one q fully charged on a wave can give you a lot of pressure yeah and the angles actually abandoned ship and went towards the top crab which i think is a good idea because if it's inspired what to get this crap and then run through mid to top side and contest again causes respawn raptors he might face a problem so jankos smart decision making there he's just going to trade the crab and get his raptor top camp's respawn otherwise if inspired on the same side of the map as him and rogue have the mid prior might be a bit difficult for him certified especially when odin has tp wunder running the cleanse of course into the rennington just in case he gets stunned up he can dash away with the cleanse with the e now and of course top prior we expect to continue to go in the favor of g2 at the stage of the game wonder very easy for him to push in level six for an action things get a bit easier for the renekton but still will be a very difficult laning phase what the itemization looks like wouldn't be surprised to see an immortal shield though here but now rogue setting up just to zone off just to deny creeps inspired there's not really anything for him to farm right now so he's just using his time to put his bot lane further out capsaicin is a world behind rogue have no tp so if rogue go too deep here there could be a tv behind but smart decision making from rogue try and push rekkles away as the wave collapse collides the tower but didn't deny too much reckless does pick it up in the end caps does tp back to mid so all tp's blown on the side of it both teams there's no tps in the game now so now every single fight is isolated on that side of the map unless someone decides to move we'll keep our eyes on the junglers both reset at relatively the same time and you can see the double ap mid jungle combo of g2 is going to get punished by the side of rogue inspired already optimizing for some early magic resistance of course there's an item that was just buffed on the patch and overall i think can be quite strong when you look at it yeah and cap's doing the exact same thing right both these mid jungles are ap caps picks up the merc treads which can be really good he gets knocked in looks like it's just gonna be an ultimate trade there that's rogue trying to freeze this wave mickey's going in up ignite kicking trippy potentially in trouble mickey now needs to back up as well gets a little bit of a heel handle leaping forward but the immediate stun the turn first blood han sama will get traded back reckless still alive though to crash this wave trimby cannot walk up a small positive trade for g2 this is a huge positive trade draco look at the wave not only do they get the kill they deny pants this whole wave and rekkles can farm the next one so rekkles gets an extra wave that's essentially three three waves down the drain for hansa look at the cs difference 20 cs lead and the kill went to reckless as well so although hans got first blood not only does he lose out on gold on the wave he loses out on xp you can see mickey they're trying to freeze the wave here trimby thinks that they have enough to push them away i think he uses a cookie that perhaps gets more mana for his e coming off cooldown soon but mickey with the double engage you would think that mickey's gonna die here but his flash stun that he pulls off buys enough time so rekkles gets the fourth shot out and bang look at that wave not only is it this way that he loses but look on the map there's another wave coming so reckless 20 cs up it's not just that wave it's canon it's a double wave already and that's the third wave as you said that's a massive difference you can see backed by boots boots two and pickaxes oh on the opposite side it's boots two and a single long sword hansa suffering early on in the game yeah and g2 although they got that good play there they're still a little bit down in gold so we'll have to see how this game pans out but look at the amount of magic resist on rogan on g2 mid jungle there yeah double burton barrier coming in if you're not familiar with the item if you haven't seen it yet because for whatever reason you haven't opted to build a banshee's veil it is just basically ap seekers um you get a little bit less flat mr but still a very significant amount all things considered on mr in general stab it's harder to get more of me holding mid wave there so caps has the ulti coming up soon i don't think he'll struggle to push out that wave because he can just throw his cues at max distance to crash the wave so small advantage there trimmy loves to freeze these waves in the other game it seems so caps we'll trade aggressively now to make sure that crashes has to do so and this mid matchup is an interesting one and it's two very different champions obviously going toe to toe glad it's not control majors control major we'd honestly have no reason to talk about it but when you look at larson versus cap well when you mis-click the graphic when you look at larson versus caps excuse me i'll excuse you um this is a big matchup because you heard from larson what's ambitions are his ambitions are to be the team that can take down g2 that can stop these endless g2 fnatic finals that could be the one that finally in the era of lec 2019 2020 now 2021 take a title away from g2 in order to do that in order to do that as any team but certainly in order to do that as a mid laner you have to go through caps which so far has been a just about impossible task yeah definitely caps kind of dominating europe is the best mid laner so far and larson said the caps the beats a beast but he's a beast as well so let's see how this mid matchup plays out as larson goes to base to pick up some items he's running back here captures the level up but i think that's when the wave comes in and larson collects it'll be even again so quite a quiet game despite these trades involved when they're slowly getting a cs lead and forcing on this tp which you would expect in this matchup but in terms of play-making and unlocking the game neither team has really pulled the trigger here with a drake start or the herald start but inspiring the sports side river might look to start that up now see what the bigger focuses are gonna be especially as first items get closer and closer only 16 stacks up on the coal for wonder as well inspired ready to contest though oh yeah ankle smites it away when caps was about to finish it and i think he was scared that inspired was gonna smite it away so it might be a bit of a kick w there from jankos stealing away the blue from caps but i think he was a bit worried that inspired could walk up smite that away and run away as the old comes in on the reckless trimby proxy aftershock but the knockback wasn't enough to start an engage record gonna trade with the fourth shot here cats getting some good damage down to larson larsen dashing in trying to extend this trade has to respect the potential for caps to alt back but a nice side step to avoid any potential damage there works out and now road we're gonna be able to take this dragon just about completely uncontested yanko's gonna walk in just in time to see it take it away from him early cloud drake guarantees that that will not be the soul at this point just about guaranteed to have an impactful soul it'll either be the infernal or the mountain yeah picking on that first strike super important now the rogue want to kind of swap and get this herald going which we've seen them do so many times throughout their games on the ac trying to push out both use their bot lane tempo on a base to just run top inside the herald but the wave pushing into them makes a lot harder for them to do that and giving plates over to the gin and the rail with a crashing wave is not the thing that you want to do when you want to move to a lane swap so they want to make sure they push us out to not lose as much as possible so don't miss trading aggressively really good really really good he's the first part of the dash to leap in wonder knocked back use the second part of the dash to extend to get the stun odawamne just made an advantage out of nothing wonder disrespecting playing a little bit too far forward and that's going to be a big deal for the next five minutes or at least until that cleanses back up this is oda's lane yeah definitely curious to see why odometer didn't actually chase further there maybe he was scared of jankos collapsing on him but he had tier two boots versus tier one on wonder so he could have chasing onto the flash q in three seconds but respecting enemy jungle there making it sure that he has a losing matchup but now he's forced both summoners out of wonder he's a level up wonder and he's getting a plate so really well played monoamine they're punishing the over aggression from wunder on the last hits and we sort of want to get the top played caps gets a mid played and that all comes down to base timings and trades yeah and again just really floored by how well oduwoman played that wonder very much caught off guard as we now see a bit of an exchange here in the mid lane larson not gonna get stunned up though not gonna get caught sleeping here in the mid lane but across the board obviously a little bit of action there on top side but all things considered very quiet game remember rogue has been playing very early game aggressive focused team compositions and g2 are always aggressive no matter what they play so surprised not to see more kills on the board look at both supports they're moving towards the top side of the map the herald is to be contested now it's the biggest objective in the game wonder how some top priority so i think rogues have to give this up for now let's see if they want to try and confess this because rekkles is moving up and hands has to catch both waves so it's a 5v4 on the top side of that trying to get the tempo advantage on he said catching and in vain obviously not going to really have a lot of that wave clear because we're going to be able to push back yeah it looks like g2 are going to get this herald uncontested i don't think row can walk in the thing they want to do now is try and cross map as hard as possible run to both sides get some vision on their outside jungle try and get handsome plates try to trade anything they can for this herald because this heralds could go made it could go top and this i think that's where g2 wanna invest their resources because with this one three one come trey cost i think the way the game's gonna progress but i think there's not enough numbers here for him to contest this he has the flash too so pull back yeah mickey just pushing him away and like i was going to say i think this game evolves we'll see wondering caps on the side lanes pushing them in trying to get advantage on the sideline towers and rogue want to group up and fight drake's his caps gets ultimately pushed back flawless cc but he's still ignited he's trying to run for the hills maybe a little bit more the knock back can they finish the job no cavs making that was just a sliver of life trimming still hunting but he needs to back away swirl seed rolling through kind of comically as it was slowly lose to the top side of the map and no to woman now potentially in trouble but he's just deleting the wave this dash is gonna be very difficult but here comes the curtain call or the woman sidesteps only been hit by one shot dodges the speed four people here i think i think it's gonna get taken down they're gonna use the herald to tank the tower second spear misses four shot he's running it reckless sees an opportunity to get the kill with mickey lane's assisi it should be easy the herald's here as well the boatline man collapse there's no way out of this one for ottawa he gets locked up he gets taken down and now g2 are set to take the tower as well meanwhile on the bottom side han sama already pushing in yeah hans is getting plating solo here solo gold solo xp and this all comes down to the mid lane players larsen and trimby use their rules to use the summoner spells try and get caps but caps packs off so the other four members of g2 are top side but that's a tower trade essentially g2 get the advantage because of its first tower and uh yeah i think g2 executing on that play perfectly although i didn't really have a way out you could see he tried to go into reckless to get his way to escape but i think if he ended up doing that the ankles would jump over the wall and just join reckless there but i'm not having the damage take him down so very interesting game so far g2 slightly ahead but rogue's comp scale super well so this game this game is very very close most certainly is gale force now coming in for wonder makes the matchup even easier as odawamney looks like he's gonna be going forward to the core drinker should went out on sustained fights but honestly if you're in melee range of quinn you've pretty much already won so kfor should come out on top and up next the remake of fnatic versus x there's something about the fact that it just says all caps the remake that makes it feel like fanatic versus xl2 the the 2021 version of fnatic vs xl yeah the remake as we see the game progress it's to be a dragon contest hands in the pits with no flash windows that's a sick combo there's no room for hans on the move he's going to be forced to flash over the wall wonder dashing in to set up the stun for mickey i don't know how did he get there into the pit because i think both teams wanted to contest both side rivervision and you can see although i'm just hitting top tower and then rexx is going to hit fault tower so it looked like they were going to trade off but rogue kind of they misstep they wanted to go into bolt river to contest the drake but gt was there first so as hans blast comes over i think his tempo meter was a bit off there and then he gets collapsed on force to flash out and now hans was one who at the base so it's quite an awkward situation here because inspires catching both waves that means wondering ankles can collapse on another one on the way in and yeah his spear landing max range certainly looks good underwater in trouble now wonder comes in he gets the dash down now a good bit of cc but not nearly enough to keep him alive jankos grabs that kill and across the map g2 are making plays g2 just funneling gold here they don't care about the dragon they don't care about the vision they've punished hansem's flash and they just base straight away and run towards the top side the snapback on it he is going to get out caps making good work at that time wander to find the kill g2 punishing mistakes from the individual plays from rogue here so so well he think most teams would have just stayed around the dragon to set it up but no g2 wait otherwise pushing on top with no tier one let's base run there collapse on him before inspire can get there because he's catching bot wave so super intelligent play from g2 here their comp is really hard to execute and we said that they have to get an advantage in early game but that's exactly what they're doing costs 3 000 gold for g2 but they are down two dragons but it's a mountain soul not the end of the world but i think this is where the 131 will come into action we look back at this play overall pretty clean from caps i think the the reckless gin w here is what saves the player caps flash in and the stun from mickey landed up with the chain cc from the gin so mickey and reckless playing that fantastically so that caps can get the kill and i really like what this composition does especially for the rel it feels very similar to having a torque support where you just get to mount a stun onto a very mobile champion like the echo or the quinn and g2 making good work of that little bit of synergy is now got double knight harvesters double gale forces due to have a lot of burst damage i think the problem rogue have now is who goes side on the sideline yes automaking match either wunder or caps but who matches the other right those hands go on a side lane with vayne really low wave clear and he's really weak at the stage game or does lasting go on a side wave and risk getting dove by this duo mid jungle of caps and jankos or wunder perhaps just pushing out top and basing going behind cap so roger in a bit of a problem here they do have the two dragon advantage and they do have the scaling advantage they just need to put the brakes on and slow g2 down as much as possible and stop g2 from pushing this advantage so g2 they want to get some vision around mid they want to get some reason around bots and then stop playing for this tier one boss listen mickey keeping the mid lane pressure up his caps just waits in the darkness maybe hoping to find a play and honestly cadre when you look the way g2 are playing right now reminds me so much of 2019 g2 as we see potentially the collapse from wander on the top side yeah i'm curious to see what larson's vision is on this bot side all he has is a ward in the bot lane try bush you can't actually see anything so capps can in him whenever he wants and if they don't spot out yankos or wunder or or reckless or mickey on the top side of the map then larson just kind of has to walk away watch what g2 is doing they're hovering towards bot side so larson might have to end up backing up but yankos is focusing towards his top side and this is where the 131 comes online g2 can choose either side and they want to pressure oh and you can already see it's so hard for omni to get anything back wonder just essentially gets to take that trade for free anytime his ultimate is up and the potential follow-up here from yankos means that if odwami missteps he could just get one shot and 131 is one of the most powerful comes in league of legends the problem is you need to have both side liners ahead and you need to have mid prior if you have all three of these things then 131 is super hard to beat it's also it's all just a mistake that makes it collapse essentially whether they overstep mid or they get caught on the side however if it's executed perfectly it makes it so the enemy team kind of bleeds out on resources because they have to group up and match with the three in mid or the one on the side lane to try and put numbers advantage so g2 are in the one three one somewhat they've kind of adapted out of it now because they need to keep this mid power up to keep their vision and dragon spawning in two minutes dirty makes me think that this bot side is gonna be the the place to control for both teams the thing that's really rough for the side of rogue is that when it comes to one three ones we often look at the three-man core of support jungle and uh a.d in the mid lane and vayne is awful as that 80 mid lane it is not an ash it is not a boris it is not a senna she is not the 80 carry that you want in your mid lane catching waves or dealing with the three-man core of g2 yeah completely right vayne's wave clear is very very bad compared to champions like jin who can just fast push the wave kaiser can just kill the wave and get it in so g2 should be able to maintain his mid power because of this vein pick not being ahead and the 131 will slowly start to bleed out rogue take their towers push into tier one take the tier one push into tier two and rogue need to find some kind of way out of it or just hold on until the dragon spawns hold on until g2 might try and start a baron and defend the play and scale up as much as they can keep in mind it's only 18 minutes and 30 seconds into the game second harold still being taken here g2 gonna try to rush it down for uh baron comes in and eats it up shouldn't be too hard for them to do is rogue are just going to be resigning themselves to catching waves picking up buffs and taking what they can and what little of the map they control when you look at that mini map see all of that vision in the favor of g2 and even though rogue have a few wards in the river they have no room to respond that's the key thing when these waves are pushed in it's really hard for you to contest vision when g2 pushing the wave look at reckless they move into the top side river look at mickey they move into your jungle and when they do that they put down the wall they take away yours so that when these waves come into your towers you're completely blind you don't know if they're on herald you don't know if how many people are there and g2 can just play the information game and bait out rogan thinking they have numbers advantages or they're starting something and rogue have to panic or try to do something to figure out what jesus is up to and it's just honestly so difficult to play against 131 because you think there are opportunities to group up to collapse on one of the side lanes to collapse on the one to collapse on the three but if your enemy team plays flawlessly they have more information than you because they have more vision than you they are more set up to push waves faster which means for you to try anything always comes at a cost exactly so if let's say larson inspired go towards the bot side to try and catch out caps that means wunder jankos reckless mickey can push in mid and top and they're getting two lanes advantage hitting the towers while you're only hitting one so no matter what happens it's a losing situation for you but when it comes to team fights that's when roe can start to push and prod and try to find something but i think larson might just go for this top tower get as much golden resource on him hit the top tier one drop the drake just try and get as much gold onto this comp of rogue so they can scale as fast as possible you can see right now so a 3k difference road with two dragons balances that out to a certain degree two towers to two as well but rogue still a lot of power in the team fights to come yes odumna individually against wunder is probably always going to struggle in a side lane but as we move later in later the game the renekton can be a very big threat to a player like reckless to caps even or jankos in some of these extended trades though larson for now free hitting on this top side tower trading a little bit of damage on that tier two in exchange for the drake to g2 yeah g2 picking up the ball tier one as well finally so when they're on the side lane caps on the sideline again and rogue are committing resources to this top side i wonder if this will kind of bite them in the butt here if they go for a mid push on g2 but it looks like rogan's gonna show so caps won't actually have the information to play with looks like they're gonna back off and g2 could have collapsed really really quickly if they did try to do something baron being up no tier ones they're going to chase you to the end of the end of the map maybe they'll pick up a kill and then they can set up the barons so g2 controlling the whole map here hands has flash we can look for some flash as well valor to me the immediate stun the flash out from han sama will keep him safe just a barely a tiny fraction of a second for him to flash out there before getting cc'd yeah the one two one taking effect there wunder coming to mid because he has the side lane pushing this is what you'll see g2 have all the game they'll have the sideline push and they'll move mid first the only problem g2 have is they don't have a tank for the baron so if they do have so much temp on the map they have so much control it's just hard for them to just start up the baron because no one can really tank it barring mickey x but g2 will just keep it up rinse and repeat push in these sides take objectives kind of take jungle camps take all the vision and then rogue or just sat there trying to scale as much as they can yeah very difficult game for rogue not a lot of room for them to maneuver absolutely g2 and the drivers heat this game but a single misstep from g2 can result in a massive shift back in the favor of rogue because you said there's no tanky front line for for g2 it's very hard for them to take a baron without a massive kill advantage and multiple members dead on the side of rogue but it's pretty easy for rogue they have to want me they have tribby they've got han sama basically a champion made to shred that baron yeah and like i mentioned with the bleed out on the 131 g2 almost up 4 000 gold now it was 3 000 around five minutes ago and that's how one two one work it slowly pushes the advantage but although i'm gonna go aggressive on windows dashback now used he'd have to commit his flash to get anything else so he's just gonna walk away so that's why they match up so hard winner can just disengage whatever he wants hans has no flash caps is looking for it knocked back interrupted there the buffalo he's coming through han someone goes invisible but it's not enough is still alive he pulls cash back over the wall inspired now trying to find something back but boss is just going on an absolute rampage by god mickey x the support from over the wall making everything work caps still in trouble is gonna dash out won't get put back will go down at the end big shutdown for larson yeah caps almost almost picked up inspired there as well i think the stopwatch kind of saved him there larson coming in with the flash with the knockback saves him too but the herald the amount of pressure the g2 announcer in every lane even though rogue do pick up a shot down they're gonna lose mid-tier too and this g2 comp is proving to be very difficult for rogue to kind of dissect so hard for them to find room to play and again the power of this row we've seen so much what she can do in a team fight but what she can do with these hyper mobile split pushers to find these kind of picks is we see caps just ruthlessly targeting out han samuel here and this is the problem with vayne if the enemy team has too many carries it's really hard for you to play you know caps can dive onto him gang kos wonder whoever it is can dive onto him and caps the stun comes in the spear almost hit but cap's flashing over gets the kill the ult and then i think the stopwatch is what's crucially saves inspired here goes back in use the old pops a stopwatch just about in time and then as larson comes in he gets the flash knock back to make sure caps can't get the jump cap stashed away from me in the end but if he didn't you'd be knocked back anyway and he won't be able to get onto inspired so one for one trade overall and although rogue is behind they're on three and a half thousand gold here the items aren't so bad if you look across the board you know hence two and a half items larson building two and a half items as well so the more this game goes on the more chances rook have and to be completely honest with you katrina i think the only reason that play worked out as well as it did is because caps is caps because he input buffered echo e at the exact right time to deal with vayne knockback yeah he should have by all means been stunned to that wall and i don't know that timing i don't play a lot of echo but i know that it is tight i know that that is a difficult thing to do on the fly so this is again why we talk about caps as such a massive massive threat that needs to be dealt with because sometimes he can just houdini an advantage out of nowhere sometimes it doesn't seem like there's any way he finds a kill or any way he makes out alive and he does anyway yeah cap's showing why he's been one well the best mid in europe for the last couple of years as they look on the automotive hero has the old heads of flash nothing much can happen here that's the one two one is still in effect for g2 but rogue if g2 make a mistake rogue can turn and burn this baron so quick and if g2 lose baron with a one comb if you're against baroness one three one it's so hard for you to play the game this caps keep sort of on this tower because again we talk about han sama as lacking wave player now it's a bit problematic for rogue g2's entire composition is a bunch of han samples when the enemy team has baron yes jin has a little bit but nidalee quinn echo these champions have to get so close to the wave to even try to contest it so little actual aoe in any of these kits it is going to be a nightmare if rogue get a single baron the game might just end yeah i think the same works for g2 but g2 have a lot of hard attacks to get the baron they need to get like a good team fight they need to pick off a couple members of rope for like inside of caps using his bot power here jankos is behind they're looking to contest his midway look at wonder as well inspired has no flash card out does he have to design his cooldown back up he does he buys his three few brief moments trippy needs to get a little bit more space but he can't save his junk where there mickey x is now going to be in trouble to warming off to the back side interrupting reckless trying desperately to find an 80 carry that's a massive stun that's massive damage always been locked in that million days all game and he wants to turn it reckless are you getting me recklessly makes it out alive hans sama wants to come back in but there's no rumor you can't reckless how are you alive but dracos that's a two for two and roger down so much gold this is the problem with one three one if you get into team fights if you overextend rogue's comps will bite you in the butt and they're gonna go for the third dragon here jankos looking for a spare onto trimby hanzama chasing potentially on the hunt reckless living with six hp it's a three b3 hp six hp yeah man if reckless died there i think rogue would have 100 got this dragon they would have full baron control so the game of inch is coming in here but wunder coming back from base means that rogue are gonna have to give up this dragon and that's that's just two dragons for either side so this dragon soul points won't come in for at least 10 more minutes so both these teams facing down baron and uh looking at team fights here i think draco's yeah let's let's talk about team fights cato this is gonna be wild i mean we saw already that the renekton despite being now zero three zero can almost one shot reckless if he's ever allowed to get into melee range and larson was in the fight but i think that if lars and hands have got to the fight slightly earlier and been able to more than i think the g2 would have lost a lot more i think g2 has come so much single target damage not that much wave clear and there's a teepee coming behind mickey he has no flash larson's teeping in all of roger here i think mickey's gonna get collapsed on here captures on his way but i think mickey needs to find a way out but there's a ward where he's running there's a blast code if he can get that he can get out of that and keep out oh they send him back now cap's locked in the middle of the team he has to snap back he has to run mickey in trouble he has no chance to remount maybe he has enough abilities to try to get out of this one yes it looks like he maybe just maybe can't trippy chasing larson chasing but the knockback is there a clutch cast from trimbling i think i don't know he was fighting window trying to force some summoners perhaps but wow larson knocking mickey back into his team stopping him from escaping on the blast comb was almost a millisecond away from hitting that very close very clutch what does it mean though what does it mean that mickey drops there's not really a lot for them to get on the map we can take a look back at how this play unfolded yeah inspired has no flash so g2 one claps on him but the problem is like i said single target damage no frontline look at larson look at hands if they can join this fight look at how fast g2 start to melt and watch out in reckless this was the fight we were looking at as he follows the flash of reckless records heals and now reckless can't really escape but this last q for modern it doesn't finish him off and he can't get the auto attack because he doesn't have enough movement speed to catch up doesn't have the e reckless just about lives on 6 hp like you said but imagine if rogue were quicker to the play quicker to react to this team fight i think g2 could have lost a lot more imagine if fleet footwork is another 10th of a second delayed how different how different does that exchange look i mean and he used everything he used gale force he used flash there's he i mean everything just barely able to make it out and of course renekton is gonna get stronger he's getting more damage in the kit reckless maybe get some more tanky stats but you have to imagine he's going to keep just building damage so i can't imagine that 1v1 shifts too much so we get later unless they are willing to use resources to protect him but i think the crucial thing is look at han someone's items he's sitting on three items on this vein he's been scaling on other reckless history items too i think vayne's impact later on the game is a lot higher because jin struggles against frontline and that's exactly what rogue have in this greg ass and in this rennington so hans larson getting knocked down so incredibly low look at the flash look at the auto the shutdown larson caught sleeping the immediate start to the fight caps now looking for the re-engaged inspired gonna try to make him go sleepy he's gonna catch two but the stunt still comes through the input buffer from mickey x's flawless the double kill now from wonder rogue on the retreat g2 finally found their opening they found their opportunity they could set their sights on the baron the mid jungle of rogue is down that's so crucial for g2 this is the time that they need this is the window that they need to start the baron no mid no jungle i don't think rogue can contest this they just have to push out the waves get as much gold as they can but g2 after this piranha looking at like a six seven thousand gold lead with a one through one comp and the individual plays from g2 coming out wunder catching out larson larson was blinded he thought i'll have to flash away but he was one second too late and g2 pick up two kills in the barn and this is massive okay joel for so long it's been this close back and forth where anyone can take these skirmishes but we see here this pick from wonder this damage coming in from quinn finding this assassination onto larsen just instantly wins them the fight yeah larson couldn't see anything there he just had to reactivate flash away but it was too late to get taken down by wonder and look at trimby just about survives on the shot from reckless and then inspired going down it blocks the final shot in g2 find two kills and they're doing it so well you should have seen how the team fight did you see how that team was set up you know g2 they get all the vision and then they wait for rogue to walk into them and then they just catch them off which is one huge bite get two kills they get the baron now one three one comp is online and we saw we talked about han sam as being this potential avenue for rogue to come back to the game to win these fights to shred through the lineup of g2 to out you know out damaged out match reckless in these fights we'll hold that thought as well we have another one on our hands caps goes in snare goes wide but what you saw in that fight was hans just eat that was about all he could do maybe one auto maybe two but he did not have the room to work against the likes of this echo this quinn this nidalee who are just diving straight at him at every opportunity and right when i say it here we see it again larson running out to safety all of g2 collapsing in the mid lane and roger late to the play wonders just harassing knowing that you need to just push this wave in rogue need to take a fighter they're going to lose so much exactly captain wunder just buying time so the wave can crash rogue are going to get there in time are they going to be able to clear the wave because g2 can hit this tower they have a lot of pressure when it comes to sieging they're grouping up and they're so so strong they have so much individual prowess so much damage on each of these champions so if anything hits rogue just have to back off straight away rogue have to find some kind of engage that their carriers can walk forwards that's an inhibitor taken uncontested and keep in mind wonder is squishy yes he has the cleanse but if he missed steps even a single time in this game he will get one shot by the lineup of rogue so to see him playing so far forward he's incredibly brave but incredibly risky now bro trying to regroup trying to stay strong he's wondering on the flank he does not have a flash the dive coming in from quinn can't get him over a wall that size comes through for more caps looking for trim beach shouldn't be incredibly incredibly squishy you can see the combo of echo rail there mickey and cap's communication so good caps jumps in mickey pops the stun as caps hits on the trimby caps does decide to alt away because his old cooldown is so short in this later stage of the game the amount of ability hey city does have but you can see these fights g2 they don't have the one two one they can just group up pushing the mid wave deny all vision of rogue and if you have no vision and no wave to work with it's so hard to find and engage on this backline of g2 because they have so many damage threats and let's remember cadrell the ambition of rogue coming into this game we heard from larson in an interview with chris and we heard in the match of the week he wants to be the one to take down g2 g2 coming out swinging reminding him that maybe he's not there yet because since the mid game since that single fight now with this baron g2 have exploded onto the map they are in absolute control of this game and hope for rogue is running out very quickly the windows of opportunity for them to actually come into this game come back into this game are getting smaller and smaller they are indeed the only thing that they have going for them is the scaling and is the team fight but g2 playing this super hard to execute comb but if it's played perfectly he'll play dash and strike breaker i was looking for the engage but the gale force from necklace gets him out i'm going to use the old so down ultimate there as caps might look to dive in again he's been diving in so many times because he can just chunk someone else all the way in 30 seconds results up again so doesn't really have to worry about it because if one chunk is one power trimming he gets the lock back knock back wonder knocking through the wall oh still going to be able to find a kill but here comes larson in the midst of everything and pushing the back of the wall this is massive for larson cap snaps back but not where he needs to go big fight for g2 curtain call coming in the leap out to safety rogue oh but the snipe are you kidding me inspired reckless threading the needle to take down the enemy jungler this could have been the play the road needed to defend but that one bullet kills down inspired and now it's a 3v3 for g2 i think g2 can push for this inhibitor do they want to push for more rogues carries are alive omni is alive as well they have the flashes but i think g2 might just want to back off after this bottling inhibitor broke could look for more on thomas stepping forward low mana for caps and jankos stridebreaker goes in slowing down caps quantum has to backstep though if the snare lands he knows he's dead oh lost once more arson pushing the red buff ticking but he doesn't get arranged to use his own autos he has to use the soldier instead han stomach is still chasing but he has to be careful there's a fourth shot there's in italy he goes golden the dashboard from if he hits one he can double dash into the second that's going to be going through stride breaker first dash he's set up for the second now dash through again trying to get the follow han zama flashing in g2 have they been off more than they can do caps running for his life he can snap back if he needs to with the ultimate but it's not going to be enough that's enemy jungler down dracos this is huge larson got so many shutdowns in these engages three kills for the side of rogue and now they're scaling so well and i think g2 just went in way way too deep you could see they went all the way into the base gates when the rest of g2 we're at the tower of the tier 2 tower and it's all because winder gets to kill and stream me but look at this knock back from larson gets two people on top of wonder dying from the actual push back itself so not only does larson get the shot down on wonder which was 700 he got the shot down on inspired as well so this is here it's getting so strong and that last shot had no right connecting but i guess lily has got four legs so maybe a little bigger a little bit easier to hit but now we see i mean that's a death cast that's a void staff that that is the two items you do not want to see on the enemy hyper carry yeah we're looking at a point in the game where gold is not a huge deal right now i mean yes g2 has up 8 000 gold by looks of it but it doesn't feel like it because rogue vein larson they have so many items four items on each of them guardian angel on hands these diving threats of g2 are getting weaker and weaker and the amount of flashes blown in that engage is crazy you know the ankles and caps have no flash now caps can't play as aggressive so can g2 push for these vision advantages that they've been keeping or a rogue to be able to make a comeback here just based on their composition alone 30 seconds to bear end two minutes now to a mountain soul for g2 if they can take that dragon now it is double moonstone for the side of rogue so maybe they don't have quite as much damage in their utility positions but they have a lot more healing which means that if g2 cannot find these single picks cannot find these single kills if they have to extend a fight they will surely go in the favor of rogue this healing will matter so incredibly much it will indeed especially for the likes of larsen and hands on these carriers who do so much damage compared to the likes of g2 and enhances at that point in the game where the vayne becomes an outplay machine he can dodge all of these skill shots from g2 and maybe pick up lots of kills in the fights but i don't know flash windows looking for him he was an award so what am i smartly backing off but wonder might still go for it anyway knows that he's done at this point he has to leap in there's a teepee now coming in but i think it's too little too late he's going towards the burn either they can pressure they can threaten the sidewalk they have super creeps the rest of g2 now starting the baron cavs moving in up against larsen against teleport back at any point and he is going to go in larson though throwing down the damage caps locking up but he's buying time for the rest of his team to do with the baron that's gonna be one picked up by the side of broke they taking down caps but at what cost baron getting lower no one in the area to contest that is most certainly an uncontested baron now in favor of g2 this is such a smart play from g2 they they use their 131 they use both their solenoids to go to the same lane to try and catch out on omni rogue have to respond with numbers and when they do that the three men of g2 turn towards the baron they get that and now there's one two one of g2 although caps doesn't have the buff the rest of the four have the baron buff so rogue might look to try and find some engages try and get these baron buffs off the likes of g2 but both hovering around trimbling has the flashing gauge on the side that's going to be huge now wonder take it out that's a big shot down for rogue that's still alive that's that's insane both these solos don't have baron for this 131 larson predicts the flash from wonder neither caps or when they have baron so now the rest of g2 have to back off 15 seconds on this mountain soul is crucial still too dead for g2 caps has tp if he wants to join the fight it's gonna be a five before dracos three baron buffs still alive excuse me that's what i meant to say baron buff is baron is most certainly dead but now mountain's gonna be the big deal three seconds miracle steel could just immediately put that soul buff in the favor of g2 but rogue should be uncontested and taking this but g2 meanwhile rtp they're saying if you want to try to take this we are ready to end the game caps immediately down to the bottom side of the map just mid pushing in doesn't get the in here by looks with the caps might get this tower but i think that's all he's going to get he's going to have to alt out back away otherwise there larson's there and good response from rogue get the dragon larson you go base while we're doing this we're going to win the 3v2 so you go defend the base and g2 trying to find holes in rogue gameplay with rogue answering back the scaling comp is coming online yes they're down 10 000 gold but dracos it doesn't feel like it because the scaling is coming in for rogue this is absolutely massive g2 most certainly favored to end the game but i gotta know if you're at home right now it says take the trophy but pretend it's take the game can rogue take this game from g2 that's what i want you to vote it says naru i'll leave that down marcus throw up the right one when you get a chance rogue rge or g2 in chat let us know vote yes or no can rogue there you go vote yes yes would be rogue no would be g2 in this case let us know what you think at home we've got a few seconds before the next fight kicks off it most certainly feels like it's going to be the last one in the game whoever gets an advantage here could just try to take this right back to their own control and end it dracus i feel like g2 are slowly running out of time they need to find pigs and prods and rogue there's no towers on these inhibitors the mid and the bots one so rogue a g2 need to keep trying to push rogue with numbers advantage trying to get botany names like backdoors pushing rogue to actually answer make them base because i think that the longer this game goes on like we said 20 minutes ago it's gonna get better and better for rogue but g2 have full control still the only way that roe can come back in this game is if they break this control find some kind of team fights or find the baron but g2 as long as they don't make mistakes they have the control for now but one mistake could be huge inspired has to be very careful because it doesn't take much for it to be a mistake and echo leaps over mounted up with the rel getting that stun from long range could be an instant death han samba though caught in the stun not quite no gen w follow no rel stun either but caps you can see he's he's been looking the whole game to try and blow some of the spells trade these things for his ultimate because his ultimate such low cooldown so three minutes on this dragon soul for either team and g2 know if they overstep too far and rogue get some kills and get full control over the river then g2 are gonna face a really tough task of retaking it so look at the vision for rogue trying to group up trying to clear these waves trying to make it so g2 can't sneak into their base in any way all it takes is a single big stun coming in from caps a single flank found out from wonder to really just blow this game wide open keep in mind that's two exposed inhibitors on the side of rogue rope being very cautious about how they push forward you can see backstepping even when they're not past their too much past their tier two yeah hence going to base i'm curious to see what he picks up does he have a sixth item looks like he's gonna cancel it nothing he does yet reckless he's the only person sitting on full six completed items here alongside wonder so these are definitely the huge carries with g2 now this caps is the one diving in trying to buy time with these onions and you can see g2 they are going to take it by the looks of it well earned in the vote obama leaping forward maybe hoping to turn that one around the stun is coming in odometer doing literally no damage to wonder just trading cooldowns for nothing look at g2 trying to pressure on so many lanes you can see caps just being super annoying for the side of rogue when they go towards bot cap just wants to hit top tower hit mid and hip rook have to answer on so many different fronts but the key thing here is drakos that hands is six items on vayne and g2 if if hands manages to get some free auto attacks in three auto attacks one passive proc i think one member of g2 is dead they are we've got double zanyas we got double gale forces a qss for reckless fully mercurial cemetery now rather and it's most this is just it's honestly capable it's so tense it doesn't again it doesn't feel like a 10k gold leaf do you look at this game on paper i show you the scoreboard you're like ah yeah this game is done but just i think just because of comp's difference one through one versus the full team fight comp the longer the game goes on the more team five companies benefited unless the 131 has something like camille or jax that can really pop off in fights i think the queen will struggle a little bit but he does have a lot of damage so if rogue drive too deep i think that g2 could definitely punish that but six items for larsen as well g2 have run out of time now drake goes one minute on the mountain soul i think the way you'll see this game played out this g2 will avoid fights at all costs keep using their control to get caps into the base wounded into the base and start back throwing these inhibs back during the nexus towers and force rogue to keep basing and then trying to get the neutral objective for it and by the time these dragon spawns it looks like we're gonna have all summoners up and available for both sides keep in mind there's no tp for wonder but he has well this form on the quinn so he can move quite quickly across the map and keep it also keep in mind that both the baron and the mountain soul will be on the table at the same time both objectives crucially important in this game yeah and g2 they know that if they kill either larson or hands they should have the team fight because the rest of the rogue don't really have the damage but taking down rogue and larson uh hanson larsen is gonna be a very very difficult task for them they don't have any pointing to click cc or an engage caps larso carson side stepping trading all for all overall should be positive for caps though yeah larson has a tp if g2 want to turn towards this dragon but if rogue commit too many numbers maybe captain wunder can stop pushing in these side lanes getting the bottom getting them topping it look at them on the sides you see rogue trying to push down me trying to get some control but look at the side lanes g2 caps already hitting his top tower windows gonna get to the bottom soon does rogers want to start burn stepping forward larson does so much damage to caps wonder on the bottom side though they're splitting their attention three members of rogue setting up they're prepared they're ready to take the bear just keeping to base he might be ulting back here i'm not sure what he's doing there he's in base he needs to get back to the sideline asap does he have enough time it looks like no he doesn't okay capstick with the base one doesn't have tbi though so this is essentially a 2v3 jankos isn't even there so they're trading mountain soul for baron here i think roger just favorite gen shot bro they're gonna grab it it's close but they do manage to make it in the end wonder's still set up in the mid lane mountain soul now for g2 as well big shields but maybe just maybe row can take a fight right now they're in the pitch though this is massive but larson is off to the side if they pick off larson that should be the end of the game any member going down could very well be the end of our match of the week smart decision from rogue just trade the mountain so we need baron we need to get some kind of control we need to push out waves short recall time is important but the winner might look for more there is mickey mickey it's a clutch engage but there's no follow-up there's no one there to do damage trimby gives his life to buy time for the rest of the team mickey goes golden watch then off to the side it's reckless going in versus the carry mickey goes down hot dogs that damage wonder now has to run out zombie goes over the wall he's alive just barely he's holding on reckless trying to back off yank trying to back off the spear will not connect caps goes in trying to blow up but he can't do it that's a double kill hot summer goes down but larson is still alive g2 they have to run rogue have advantage rogue have they done it at 10k gold deficit does it not matter have they turned it here dracos this game is crazy it's a three for two g2 is still alive and they have waves pushing in so rogue can't actually do anything for this but they do get the kills almost every summoner spell was blown and you can see rogues late game team fight comp is so strong hands essentially three shots wonder and then caps jumps in does manage to pick him off but larson rejoins the fight and this game continues as we see the huge superman is pushing down mid and rogue are going to keep this game alive dracos and look at this fight again mickey's engaged was crucial flash hold gets the stun onto trimby here as well so triple cc from mickey instantly takes out trimming look at the sleep it also buys time and reckless on the side against larson forces lars into base and that's the key thing because now it's a five before it's all on hands and look how fast takes down wonder two auto attacks this is the one time that flashing over the wall was good dracos flashes over ease procs to passive and then the ga buys enough time for larson to come all the way around the side get back into the fight and then eventually just take down caps who has no ultimate still to get the final hit there in the end and still all things considered a very close exchange if jankos had landed that spear maybe hansam doesn't get that kill trade back but 6k damage that's that's a late game vayne that is a late game game but hans has no ga now and rogue have some control of the game they have the baron they're pushing down this mid lane and they have the knowing hip on mid and bot but wonder and caps look at them you can see rex on the top side when they're pushing in the bot side so g2 needs to keep waves pushed in if g2 dropped the ball and they lose control on the map then i think rogue can just run away with this game with the amount of power that they've got on these late game carries because hans has sold the way this ga picked up a scimitar so now he is a six item vein and he is online six item again six item again he can sell again in five minutes to get the ga back passive fully reset as reckless is now off to the sidelines 1k gold he's a rich man yes he most certainly is it's important to know mickey burns both of his summoners i believe in that last change or at least the flash trimby still has his so there is a chance for the rookie on rogue to make america play to shift this game back in their favor if he can catch out reckless really the only priority target that he would want to or wonder actually to throw into the team things would certainly work out in their favor i like the adaptation pronoun he realizes he's not the carry he just builds full tank and you can see inspired has full support to build as well so so much pressure and larson and hands on these fights they have to be the ones picking up all of g2's members and trimby inspired not omni are either buying time or just protecting them as much as they can but g2 have maintained control they have the mountain souls that's a lot more effective than that baron that's worn off for rogue now and the waves are pushing in they're going five-man top dracos rogue needs to be ready to force tabs getting cc getting locked up they don't quite slay it perfectly he is able to get out the chrono break and this is the thing g2 can keep mid and bolting him down for the entire game captain wonder can always walk in through the sides together while rogue's trying to push out and get some kind of vision so essentially roger jailed to their base and g2 are playing so well around it making sure they keep top pushed keeping these inhibs down means it's a rogue or kind of handcuffed to their own base rate because they can't leave and again to add insult to injury the timers are synced there's an elder dragon at the same time there is a baron both of these could end the game in favor of g2 rogue cannot afford to just pick one han sama that's the side step here rogue need to be willing and ready to force a fight yeah i think at this stage of the game if g2 get elder dragon hands and larson they just don't have enough tools to survive that kind of burst coming out from all of these carriers from g2 so look at wondering captures holding hands keeping these lanes pushed in while the three of g2 this 121 has evolved to a point where captain wunder can stay together and keep pressuring these side lanes to make sure that rogue if they try to answer anything g2 throw at them they just lose inhibs and they lose out on every trade so i'm curious to see what kind of vision rogue have they they probably don't have any vision past their own nexus gates one sneaky wad up there and that's about it dracos and even the tp flying codawam from ottawa at this point just isn't that threatening to the side of g2 seeing what they can do mickey potentially caught out the body slam the knockback making now caught in the middle of team instant support death this is huge dracos now they can stop pushing out of their base mickey's down it's a 4v5 50 seconds on mickey now rogue look at them instantly reacting running down mid pushing the wave running into the bot side jungle they know that this elder drake is more important than this baron drakos right his bot hit and him is coming up mid and him shouldn't be too far off either taking away this elder is is huge is just about everything for this game baron matters as well though they cannot afford to split their attentions they have to stay focused now the key thing here is mickey will be up for the the assault yes that's correct for the elder dragon he will be alive but the problem is rogue are gonna lose control they have no wards on the side of g2 it's gonna be really difficult for them to face check so if roe can maintain this control get some kind of vision be able to leave their base it means they can buy more time before wunder and caps can get into their base so they have more time to react more time to play with and more time to fight 30 seconds excuse me and counting caps trying to find an avenue into the side look at them holding hands again they want to try and catch out odo try and force us first try and force and all because if they he dies then they're going to lose this dragon for sure double dash to safety the rest of rogues instantly collapsing on mid lane trippy here to try to fail odwami out while they all take running out but it looks like he will get dropped immediately launched it now keeping into the middle of two members of g2 still g2 we're going to back they don't want to pick them oh god that is zero damage he just won shots immediately all of roger ran towards the top side g2 opinion on this elder dragon spawns in five seconds hands is around the mid wave he would have to face check if he walks into this bot side jungle and larson catching top wave to stop caps being pushing in so caps can't he beat this dragon i think g2 might be able to pick this up rogue have to answer somehow if they lose his dragon they're losing baron too that's it's 9k getting lower oh inspire getting hit by the spear as well yanko's landing him when they matter most tp from behind that's exciting he's looking to start the fight because he has no flashlight curtain call inspired gonna be in trouble they're moving trippy maybe a miracle steal but it should just jump out should be impossible that's gonna be elder dragon taken down g2 now set up to win trippy no g2 just collapsing spotting the weaknesses in rogue and punishing so well baron their next objective the nexus the only thing we're gonna like be left to stand in front of them yeah mountain soul for the side of g2 elder dragon baron they're gonna have all the tools they need for this composition to push into the base and although hans has flash up and he has six items if he can't find the fight then there's nothing he can do so g2 just playing so well around the picks that they made and wondering caps definitely the mvps of this game making sure that rogue can't beat their base their base and when onward steps way too far forward he gets punished gets taken down good play from larson though does pick up wonder but this elder dragon does go across the g2 and cater i can't believe it's a 50 minute game it's just about it's the longest game of the split so far we'll see how long it goes at this point but it feels like g2 have all but won it it has been so back and forth even when it feels like g2 were in absolute control rogue have still found these opportunities and i mean what a game rogue holding on to to strands of hope at this point to try to come back yeah essentially everyone has six items now and hans has sold the scimitar re-picked up the ga because he knows he can snell the dragon and this elder dragon's gonna sit on a little longer and g2 want to make sure they abuse it pushing in every single wave making sure they can start a fight and if rogue want to try anything that del dragon is going to sway the fight so inhibit the focus here for g2 they have the baron buff as well if rogue look for a fight i don't think they can win it i think there's way too much damage on g2 they're pushing every wave broke what is what is their response here can they buy time can they defend the nexus give up three enemies but what happens in five minutes time you're just gonna lose the same buffs again so g2 pushing in okay leaping in instantly one shot the ga is going to come back up the reckless already laid the trap down one ready to go in a moment's notice mickey going in to finish the job g2 absolutely mass occurring rogue rogue held on they held on to hope but it was too little it was too late and now larson one last heroic stand will not be enough g2 absolutely obliterating rogue in these final moments in these final fights as wonder will find the shutdown g2 will find the game and tie up first place with rogue seven and two huge huge game from g2 they pulled off such a hard to execute comp yes they made mistakes yes the game went later on but they kept up their control they didn't make a grave mistake to the point where they lost full control of the map they made sure they kept it on either one lane or another when they got picked off but they do manage to pick up the elder the baron the mountain soul every single buff you need in the late game they do manage to close out the game and you can just see the power of the older dragon yeah and i mean as you can see the relief as they make it out of that one as they close it out because for so long it felt like they were in total control and for so long they could not end the game kia player of the game at least on twitter wonder yankos and reckless i was in it i was in the thrill of it you were in for it it was tense it was intense i was tripping over my own words trying to say so many there wasn't enough room to speak there was so much action on the screen it was it was it was a match of the week most certainly that was a match of the week i think wow g2 just showing up from yes a little bit of a shaky start losing games here and there i think that game kind of solidifies the g2 are still here to play they absolutely are well the final game of the day is going to be the remake remake wow between fnatic and excel i'm gonna get a red bull but don't you go anywhere we'll be right back for game four again after this lovely [Music] i consider fnatic being a little bit weaker than before i think reckless and healing has really strong synergy and i'm not sure if like upset and hustling will be able to build that so fast as soon as he tries to jump back in and now treats is on the front line jesus ripped through patrick is a stable player but he's not outstanding not a fight that g2 can afford to take whippo into the back line my god [Music] [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 [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] welcome back to the lec after this insane match of the week g2 take it in the end and they tie rogue for first place in the lec and jankos how do you feel about this insane game madness it was well um hello everyone i think the game was actually pretty stressful i suppose i think they made good plays good defensive plays which made the game very very hard for us to end and i think we played very well in the early game especially mickey and that kind of like smeared on hans one time which gave us a lot of bottom priority so i think the game was really really fun to play super stressful but super fun to play it was yeah it was really fun to watch at least uh there's been a lot of discussion around your composition and rogues first off why did you choose to go for 131 composition especially against this opponent um i mean we didn't really like choose to go 131 we just kind of figured out the draft right we okay i mean our game plan the draft would be dependent on their picks and since the peak they picked the way they did we chose to go with echo and quinn which made that draft of heavy one she won i think in a different world we could have uh you know a volleyball top lane and uh ariana mid lane and we'll just go for team fights so i think that since we are very talented players we can kind of play any style which allowed us to counter big lanes and snowball the game that way wow a lot of confidence and also adapting on the fly for the drafts i didn't know that was something that teams used to do so i mean we have grabs as our coach so it's like we can't really trust him you know so it's like we kind of have to figure it out ourselves because you know we know that our coach won't do anything so makes sense yeah i have to do the job yourself but i'm talking about grabs i want to bounce back on the nidalee pig because first off i would like to apologize for flaming you on the champion a couple weeks back but um what did you think about your performance on the champion today and what what is grabs going to say about this i mean i have been practicing a lot of new diet in my streams so i feel like a lot of my viewers would probably understand that i'm actually so good on the channel i mean i think that i can play in italy to a definitely higher level than i used at worlds i still think that there's room to improve i think some of my spears were like pretty cringe but some of them were pretty good and a lot of them were actually zoning spears that's why some of them didn't hit but they're just to make sure they don't work this way um but yeah i'm pretty satisfied with my own performance i think that if we would keep up this performance which i think was probably one of our better ones to split we'll play much better but this is no house not how screams look like i think this game was very slow faced and very calculated and normally in scrims there's like way more kills very early and there's a lot of madness going on so i think this was one of the better games as well this split so far i think for our team and for rock probably as well i mean i think they played pretty good too yeah i agree i agree uh keep on finding excuses about this peers that's not my problem actually focusing on the league on the game on the game and on the teams i can't help but notice that the g2 this year is less decisive than the previous years uh i assume that you still have some adjustments to make with rekkles joining in can you tell me a bit more about what's going on backstage and what's the difference between g2 last year and this year because it doesn't seem to be the same especially when we watch your games i mean i think the biggest difference is probably changing a player i think both reckless and parex are really great and i think that when we played with paddocks we kind of had the same roster for two years and that's why by the end of last year or even throughout last year we already all were on the same page and we kind of were you know all together um so to speak and then with directors joining we have to figure out the game in a different way it doesn't really mean we have to play in a different way it just means that we all have to be like again on the same page right he comes from a different team and a different environment and i think that all of us are trying to be the very best um and we want to be the best of fanatic that the reckless did bring and also the best of g2 that we had so that's why there's still a lot of growth to be done before playoffs and before competing at msi hopefully if we do make it to playoffs and when european split we will see about that a lot of games to go through before thinking about playoffs but still jankos thank you so much for this interview congrats on winning match of the week and i wish you a good day i'll see you next week and we're going to take a shower welcome back with the remake the big remake ah snatty vs xl in a short in the right time stay tuned [Music]
