concept is right but isnt jackies legit gifting them the early game? why would you push 2nd wave so fast that you cant contest wave3 and then also ward topside instead of warding bot and hovering botside, so markoon loses tempo over peach? also idk why peach isnt resetting into crab -> markoon raptors (markoon/larssen got base and will win) or reset into hovering mid/ raptors from markoon?? i think its more about GX making mistakes and not RGE playing their strong mid/jgl
You make some good points here, let me adress them one by one 1. So from what I can see Jackies is aiming for a 3wave crash into cheater which is imo what he should go for to avoid getting poked out of lane by Larssen. 2. You can argue the topside ward to be bad, I'd argue that the timing is more the issue. If he puts the ward instantly after 2nd wave or even 1st he will spot Markoon in time consistently, and having precise info on him would let Jackies actively waste Markoons time because he can pretend like he's gankable. If he wards + hovers bot instead, Markoon will just not bother and keep clearing, which is also good for GX but not as good as actively wasting Markoons time. 3. This one I agree, Peach should always drop Raptors and reset since he can't contest. 4. So technically no matter which play you look at, you can always argue that the losing side "just made a mistake". To me, every play that is positive for one side involves one side being bad enough to missplay, and the other side to be good enough to abuse it. And for the educational purpose of this video, I think it's better to focus more on the part that RGE did well than the parts that GX screwed up. But you definitely have a point that I should bring that up aswell. Lastly, thank you for taking the time to post such a thoughtful comment! I really like these kinds of discussions and honestly wish people did this more.
