"The greatest team of the history of League of Legends, taken down by the greatest team Europe has ever produced" my heart beats faster every time i hear this.
2019 was sauced with incredible calls. This one is the best, but when so many cool calls -> quickshot pulls "FOR THE DOUBLE, FOR THE ACE, FOR THE BARON AND THE BASE!" Just cold cocked raw talent.
A few things I spotted in the final teamfight. 1) There are still 20 seconds on Perkz' death timer when Wunder channels Ornn ult, one of G2's primary engage tools. 2) G2 win the 4v5 before Perkz enters the fight when Wunder kills Clid 3) Mikyx's bodyslam onto Faker is semi-blind. Faker could use the blast plant before bodyslam connects if he didn't want to jump the wall towards red buff. 4) Perkz ults Faker SIX FRAMES after he's airborne from the bodyslam 5) While 3-4 are happening, Caps has already left Jankos alone in a 2v1 6) Within one second of Faker dying, there are pings on the botlane wave at inhib, and Caps is already channeling TP. It's like one brain controlling 10 hands at that point, unreal sequence of events.
Fun fact. If you watched proview from Perkz. He has *1900G* extra BEFORE the teamfight at the end. Don't know why he didn't spend it but after he scored the quarters, he ended the game with 3800G.
I feel like the decisive moments often involved Miky. He sidestepped and avoided so many possible deaths these games that result from his forward plays, stepping up hugely from some of his past performances. These, I feel, made a huge difference this game at the very least.
Whenever I feel like crying, I come here to reminisce how the cup was almost ours. Watching the 2019 finals hurts knowing how well G2 played this series. I will never forget 😢
it's definitely not the 1/10 power spike we were looking for but the upgraded infinity edge really pushes yasuo into STRONGK territory a little earlier
Feels so good watching this series after reading all the "EU is trash and SKT and Faker are going to stomp you guys" comments last week. Hope they are dehydrated from all the salt.
@@cezarlauran12 We will see. I think FPX is pretty strong as well, but first time at Worlds often choke. G2 did choke last year too. There is no exception.
Perhaps the most technical series i have ever seen in LOL and im watching since s2. Two technicaly equal teams, fighting neck to neck in 4 games for every small advantage on the map, not even an inch given without sweat, elegant brilliance. 4 matches that could be won by any of these 2 teams, however at the end of the say G2 proved to be mentally stronger and earned them. SKT proved once more why they are at the top, with FAKER not being in top shape, they lost in the details against the best team EU has seen since many years. Glorious performances by all 4 teams and unforgetable matches that will be talked for years to come, in perhaps best worlds semifinals in this game's history.
As a season two jungler, and someone who played Olaf a lot, Jankos did an amazing job on zoning out Faker on a lot of those fights, leading to miscommunication from SkT at many points in time. The only thing I couldn’t tell was if Faker had ult up in the left quadrant of the map where they where G2 were hugging the back rock face of blue buff. Amazing games to watch either way!
@@idorkurogami7535 27:00 of the game: 5.3k gold lead, 6 turrets to 2, 4 dragons vs none and a baron for SKT. Yet, G2 managed to find a window against the greatest of all time in League. This was championship worth material. I doubt FPX will manage to match that.
We need more comments like this, at the end of the day these are the best teams and better team won. Blaming a player for the series is just dogshit stupid. Wunder inted early game with camille but they still won as a team. Everyone sees the bad things and forget that is a team game.
@@khalilzouhir5862 nah, even in LEC they show their strong mental. You can watch their POV on their YT channel. They are calm and colected no matter what to the point they are joking that being down 1-2 is Lukas' (Perks) comfort zone :D They simply dont break no matter what.
@@toxicfrog6943 Yeah, im watching 4th game right now. Same story happends. SKT gets ahead, G2 wins teamfights from the backfoot, SKT breaks under the pressure.
I lowkey messed up my pickems saying IG and SKT are going to finals. But in my heart I was like it would be so sick if we got Samurai skin or Phoenix skins
Love how Griffin kneecapped the entire LCK, by becoming first in their group they sentenced DamWon and SKT to face G2. And then they lost against IG anyway, what a tilter that must be for the Korean fans.
@@Commievn Amazing how things turned out to be. Griffin were entitled to be the dark horse of the LCK, the cinderella story, but now they're looked to as the largest scandal LoL Esports has ever faced, and like an earlier reply said, even LCK's handicap.
It is insane reaction speed, but he was also half expecting it. Look at how he walked up cautiously to the pink ward and walked back after the first auto, he felt like it was a bait and he knew Elise had the opportunity to be there.
I just watched it back hyping up for the rematch this year, I think that show of brilliance can actually demoralize so much I think it set the pace for this epic game.
Leo Guo yeah its really funny. FPX were destroying G2 in scrims, but they themselves were getting manhandled by SKT. I think Tian himself said that they were surprised G2 managed to beat SKT.
The problem with SKT is they lack teamwork compared to G2. SKT dominates G2 in mechanics but tournaments depend on how good macro gaming is not just mechanics.
@@thanhdohuu9473 "Favors" , they've been steadily building up the team since 4 yrs ago. what favors g2 is g2. They've been always the only team that performed well to get to Semis.
@@Jaime_Protein_Cannister LPL also have several super teams that has been slowly building up over the past 5 years but you don't see them doing that well since about 2 seasons ago when RIOT just slowly removing early vision control, safe picks and pump dmg into the game so much that the teams in world stage literally playing carry in every position, even jungle and sometimes support, as well as newly released champions and reworks that once they got fed, it's so hard for anyone to do anything about. Rewarding the aggressive, risk taking, fight-centric play style of LPL. G2's greatest strength is their flexibility, the other teams don't know which pick goes where until the last seconds, making it hard to counter them or attack their weaknesses, SKT has talented players, but their flexibility is not great, Teddy don't do well on mages, Faker and Khan don't share champions, like Faker doesn't do well on Vlad, Jayce, Quinn, Khan doesn't play Neeko, Ryze and Clid hasn't play Qiyana and default to standard jg picks, if it's Yasuo picks, it's pretty much going to be Teddy. Flexibility wasn't that important when there was safe picks and a lead from solo lanes wasn't snowballing so hard so quickly that no one else can do anything about. 2 seasons ago, playing safe early was an option, now you can't, "play safe and others will carry" hardly work anymore with one carry easily run everyone over with how much dmg they can do, and you have nothing to do except flaming the snowballed lane. Which leads to the prevalence of super star solo laners who often have inconsistent performances, high high and low low, like TheShy and theShyte, the recent serious vs FPX is a good example, claps and craps, Perkz from super carry mode in game 3 to 1/6 yas in game 4 before the quadra and got carried by Caps, and faker who is adjusting to the high risk style that had super carry performance to straight up looking like he's inting the next game. The reason is because they often have to take risks, be it staying longer with limited vision to get more CS, more level, split pushing, also with limited vision to have pressure and more cs, exp or going deep in teamfights to try to get kills. Sometimes the risk pay off and they run away with it, looking like absolute gods, sometimes it doesn't and they ended up looking like garbage. Such coin flip gameplay also leads to the 3-1 score line in bo5 that the team that won the first game pretty much won the whole series. All games are risky coin flips that heavily rely on executions, one team win the first, the other get one back, then the first team gets the next, now it's 2-1 match point, the trailing team is immediately at immense pressure and has much higher chance to messed up their execution in coin flip teamfights and lose the game. Despite the close first 3 games, no trailing team has been able to win the 4th game this world. This series, SKT wasn't able to attack any position on G2 consistently thanks to G2's flexibility. I think RIOT has been specifically adjusting to meta to benefit LPL, well, they're owned by Tencent, a Chinese company, so I won't blame them for that, it's still a fair game for everyone, but it's gonna take long for other regions to adjust to new metas. G2 just happens to have the right fit to benefit from the current meta. Europe as a whole isn't actually doing much better than they were before. EU has always been good at adapting to the meta with large player pool and they have reached the Semi consistently before, now with Korean teams still far behind the meta, other regions got a bit further. Though, if LPL doesn't win this world, you can be sure that the meta will be adjusted again, like the ADC meta in season 8 that made RNG with Uzi an unstoppable monster during the year before world. If you don't notice those changes, you probably haven't play for long enough or not at all observant.

Damn man, felt bad for Faker when he died the time before last, and his hand was all shaking and sh*t, you know what it means to him. He shouldn't be down though, that was the real final, and this is G2's year, simple.
I HATE seeing shit like that and especially on someone like Faker. I empathize, I really do. Hope he doesn't blame himself too much after this. and I agree, 100% real final, incredible games.
Faker takes it seriosly, but the reality is it's a team game, and one player doesn't matter anymore because of stopwatches, burst and lanes not being able to 1v5 anymore. The game isn't as individual as it used to be.
You can't honestly compare this series to IG vs FPX can you? Sure, it was good. But SKT made so many mistakes in this series, while in IG vs FPX, FPX didn't win because IG played garbage, then won because they played better
The day faker...became shaker...in the face of G2 caps. Man what a time :) im sooo happy i was part of that. And saw it...imagine missing out on THIS as EU fan...youll never get that back. Only ONE thing worse to miss and that the MSI semi and final.
That year was when i started watching worlds, I started at msi actually, it was so amazing, and it seems i should have stoped right after this game because this was peak and it never got back to this
44:44 If Faker aimed the "Supreme Display of Talent" properly towards that rock, he would've stunned at least 2 G2 players, possibly 3, and that alone would have won them the fight. RIP Faker
@@SirNikurasu lmao facts!! (I misread your comment the first time my bad) SKT fans always find a way to make SKT the "better" team even though their not.
Makes you sad? That thing was the most satisfying after S7 final. I hate that person. I know he is one of the very best (if not the very best), but that doesn't mean his ego needs to be as big as mother Earth, and it doesn't mean he needs to refuse showing respect to others or being humble. He deserved what he get in S7 and S9 Worlds.
With all the mistakes SKT did? Individually and as a team? No team coordination from part of SKT. You think it's that, just because the team from the region you support won and because of the legacy of SKT.
Damn all this semifinals are crazy good!! Congrats to G2 tho! Can clearly see Caps still shaking and rubbing his arm out of all that excitement during the interview.. Can't even imagine how all these 10 beast players felt during the match going back and forth like that.. Hopefully the final will also be this exciting!
27:00 of the game: 5.3k gold lead, 6 turrets to 2, 4 dragons vs none and baron for SKT. Yet, G2 managed to find a window against the greatest of all time in League. Congratulations! This was championship material. I doubt FPX will manage to match that.
2019 was the year that for the first time since Korea exists as a region, a team that didn't come from there was called "the best team in the world" i hope the can do that again this year, but this time, you go all in #G2ARMY

This was peak G2 and it never was and never will be the same, it's over, they getting stomped by NA now. The only hope for eu is a completely new team comprised of great players and great bros as these once were😢😊
Dont get it twisted. G2 with these comps are about at the same level (figurstively in power) at 25 to 30 mins to skt in all these games, even in a 3k defecit. Even 4 to 5k. Easily. They drafted for that.
tbh the quiana pick was awkward cause ive never seen a good quiana after release(not even faker is good with her). that syndra had so much more impact than faker. its sad that he didnt make it but he will become stronger after that.
European teams has the most carismatic players, and most entertaining teams to watch. Don't get me wrong, I like the computer like performance of Asian teams, but European teams makes you feel.
That title goes to the team that won it, so, it'll always be SKT 2013, 2015, 2016, in this case, it's only a brand rename, unlike what happened to Samsung Galaxy and Taipei Assassins which were bought out by other organizations, GenG and J Team respectivaly, but, only way it'll be T1, it's if they win a world championship with that name.

Faker takes it seriosly, but the reality is it's a team game, and one player doesn't matter anymore because of stopwatches, burst and lanes not being able to 1v5 anymore. The game isn't as individual as it used to be.
You can't honestly compare this series to IG vs FPX can you? Sure, it was good. But SKT made so many mistakes in this series, while in IG vs FPX, FPX didn't win because IG played garbage, then won because they played better
@@coolmanray7397 I'm confused, why are you talking about IG and FPX, none of us said anything about that
This is one of the greatest esports matches of all time
Faker doomed them by getting caught time after time.
is SKT out :CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
to be honest it was g2 making very smart calls, not only fakers mistake, ( i mean not every team would be able to use his mistakes, some really small)
@@michalo456 His positioning at 47:35 was soooo terrible and basically caused them to lose the game and subsequently the series.
@@michalo456 that's why it's on Faker, he gave them the opportunity. Not just once too.
@@AlwaysRetr0 yeah i just want to justify him a little bit becouse it is little sad to see him going down like that.
The day faker...became shaker...in the face of G2 caps. Man what a time :) im sooo happy i was part of that. And saw it...imagine missing out on THIS as EU fan...youll never get that back. Only ONE thing worse to miss and that the MSI semi and final.
That year was when i started watching worlds, I started at msi actually, it was so amazing, and it seems i should have stoped right after this game because this was peak and it never got back to this
I am relatively new to esports, I basically started when it was already all online, and holy shit this is another world.
I like the fact that SKT only tactic is to farm infinitely and win then, but G2 completely ruins them with pressure
what a game, such a shame G2 got destroyed at the finals
G2 made SKT look silly. Truly a legendary team.
had to come watch this after jankos put his leaving g2 video, an era far gone
Samurai themed skins Pog
that my friend is a great idea, and it makes damn good sense that this wil happen xD
@@bamusalako samurai theme yasuo... yea...
A Single French Fry I wanted Fnatic ;-;
Samurai Yasuo sense xd
they havent even won yet
Worlds 2022, G2 eliminated in groups 1-5... look at that roster. I want to cry.
This was the game that g2 peaked and died
Flakked and targamas were rookies. It was Thier 1st worlds. They did well
53:25
back old urgot lmao
44:44 If Faker aimed the "Supreme Display of Talent" properly towards that rock, he would've stunned at least 2 G2 players, possibly 3, and that alone would have won them the fight. RIP Faker
19:45 this man just said ''nigga done''
After that game they gonna call faker baby caps
No, the delusional part of SKTs fanbase will always continue to rate the SKT that lost 2 Bo1s and 2 Bo5s as a better team for whatever reason.
@@SirNikurasu lmao facts!! (I misread your comment the first time my bad) SKT fans always find a way to make SKT the "better" team even though their not.
I want G2 to win worlds now even more, because of respect to SKT and to revenge fanatic.
respect my balls
Rip
I swear Mickyx made Gragas' hitbox look 2 dimensional at least 10 times this game
I'm still here 2019 will always be the greatest world to watch
좀 아쉽긴하다 결승전 이겼으면 역사에 남았을텐데
Prove yourself and RISE! RISE!
21:54 watch Jankos in the small screen :D He is like "all right, I messed up, lets take the hands of the keyboard and scretch my head little"
47:39 "Faker has left the game"
Head up King. Next year will be ours
How bad was Mata in this game? Did G2 slide him something for these teamfights?
Damn, seeing faker shaking... makes me sad actually(((
Time stamp to faker shaking?
i don't think he's shaking shit loads, probably just adrenaline
True, but in watching it again I am so impressed by his composure
Makes you sad? That thing was the most satisfying after S7 final. I hate that person. I know he is one of the very best (if not the very best), but that doesn't mean his ego needs to be as big as mother Earth, and it doesn't mean he needs to refuse showing respect to others or being humble. He deserved what he get in S7 and S9 Worlds.
@@staLkerhu What are you talking about? Faker seems like an introvert and humble guy to me, and i am not even a fan of him too btw.
Rekkles will never be able to replicate what this version of G2 has done internationally
Rekkles is dogshit compared to perkz. G2 made the worst decision ever
@@nikilauda3368 nice joke?
@@Eva_xoxo It all starts with success!
@@Eva_xoxo Not a joke bud
One of the single best games at worlds ever imo.
With all the mistakes SKT did? Individually and as a team? No team coordination from part of SKT.
You think it's that, just because the team from the region you support won and because of the legacy of SKT.
@@dazh686 bro, you don’t understand a single fuck of league, this game is god bcs the narratives and tha final it had
@@dazh686 Winning an important game like this, against SKT and reaching worlds final is enough reason for call it one of the best games.
@@TheRealSamardnot anymore.
Sadly.
Damn all this semifinals are crazy good!! Congrats to G2 tho! Can clearly see Caps still shaking and rubbing his arm out of all that excitement during the interview.. Can't even imagine how all these 10 beast players felt during the match going back and forth like that.. Hopefully the final will also be this exciting!
Kekw finals
Everyone is gone :(
27:00 of the game: 5.3k gold lead, 6 turrets to 2, 4 dragons vs none and baron for SKT. Yet, G2 managed to find a window against the greatest of all time in League. Congratulations! This was championship material. I doubt FPX will manage to match that.
The G2 Samurai Yasuo skin would be sick
G2 sejuani
@@alexanderxyz9572 did jankos play seju in worlds ?
Rush IV Malphte mid > g2 skins
PERKZ MAY BE THE 3RD BEST PLAYER OF ALL-TIME. Still behind Faker and Uzi at the moment.
How is he under uzi? Perkz gives his team so much more utility through his flexibility, has the better mental and performs the same mechanically
2019 was the year that for the first time since Korea exists as a region, a team that didn't come from there was called "the best team in the world"
i hope the can do that again this year, but this time, you go all in
#G2ARMY
2018 were the first year, not 2019. 2018 RNG was considered the No1 team in the world
wtf r u talking about, s2? s8?
Why never azir against syndra
Great game, G2 is too good.
*Insert Joker dancing on stairs meme*
Huge congrats - From NA

Who is here after G2 lost to FNC?
why SKT ARE separated
52:57 look how fucken disrespectful G2 members are when SKT congratulates then
41:45 Claps is coming
What a sick prediction
Just nice to see Ocelote finally happy.
My favorite player back in season 2 onward
Who's here before G2 vs DWG tomorrow, Worlds 2020?
졌지만 잘 싸웠다!!
진건 아무것도 아니다!! 다시 일어나면 돼~~!!!
화이팅~~!!!!
yes
53:31 what is music? tell me please:) thanks
Who is here after Wunder left
Same with Mikyx
Bro Mata hooked the wall on that last team fight... you telling me the greatest strategic mind saw an Ornn going in on his ADC and hooked a wall? W in T Fk was happening in this game?
Mikyx is literally god at dodging everything and providing such a good support.
this is by far my most favorite series of competitive League of Legends
Why does orrn never die??
Ornn tankiest tank
The game that transformed Faker into Shaker
Lmao

This was peak G2 and it never was and never will be the same, it's over, they getting stomped by NA now. The only hope for eu is a completely new team comprised of great players and great bros as these once were😢😊
they clearly choked, they are better than nrg
@@j4vii_c that's true but they been choking way too often
Khan got trolled by his team mates =( finally he delivered and they lost lul
Khan did not play well at all. He did nothing any other proplsyer wouldn't have been able to do on shojin Renek.
@@iwantlee9510 Faker did not also play well. Lulz
Pick and Ban begins at 7:20
Dont get it twisted. G2 with these comps are about at the same level (figurstively in power) at 25 to 30 mins to skt in all these games, even in a 3k defecit. Even 4 to 5k. Easily. They drafted for that.
the golden boys of europe
Perkz yasuo winning the game
tbh the quiana pick was awkward cause ive never seen a good quiana after release(not even faker is good with her). that syndra had so much more impact than faker. its sad that he didnt make it but he will become stronger after that.
Late but you should look at IG Rookie.
European teams has the most carismatic players, and most entertaining teams to watch. Don't get me wrong, I like the computer like performance of Asian teams, but European teams makes you feel.
Caps has 0 charisma. I would not follow him

I'm so ready for a/n Ornn/Kled skin!
I play kled and i really hope its him but ornn only has thunderlord so that is not bad either.
The real question my dudes is How will we get a skin for promisq now He needs to play a game. Put him in the finals
Will SKT have T1 next worlds on their display names, like T1 Faker, or will it be SKT Faker??
That title goes to the team that won it, so, it'll always be SKT 2013, 2015, 2016, in this case, it's only a brand rename, unlike what happened to Samsung Galaxy and Taipei Assassins which were bought out by other organizations, GenG and J Team respectivaly, but, only way it'll be T1, it's if they win a world championship with that name.
You are big international company with billion dollar budget how you cant show damage graph at the end of game3 and 4 but show at the end of 1 and 2 ? comeon man
