How they comment: 0-10min: Hahaha G2 is lost cause of their draft, it is sad to look at 10- to the end: I've believed that they have the ability to win whatever the draft. :)
I think that the comeback was much more due to SKT misplays instead of G2 being good. Khan died the exact same way twice and then the whole team died trying to go after a kench. If G2 got that far behind vs IG the game would have been over.
@@lucillebaker-stahl6400 They disrespected Pyke and his ability to channel more gold to his other laners (and, tbh, most people do forget about that passive from the ult when you're on the opposite side) and Wunder managed to roam well and punish SKT. Every team misplays, even IG (i.e. vs. PVB), winners are the ones who can convert caught-out foes into objectives (i.e. IG overall, and that's why PVB are losing over and over against the other teams, they suck really hard at managing their map pressure). G2 are just more accustomed to playing shit-laning but team-wrecking drafts and SKT fell victim 3 times to this non-accustomation. And they won against PVB because, as I said, they convert kills much better.
@@lucillebaker-stahl6400 Maybe, but I believe that playing this level of LOL in these circumstances, rules out the "mistake" to rather strategy. U do not pick Pyke cause of its lane dominance. U pick it to have other skills and strategy advantages - what in my humble opinion, happened :)
Yeah, basically the comment section in most of this League videos, since the average IQ of the viewers is double digits. No wonder people still believe Faker is the best.
Oh yehmagerd ah, of course Faker gets a free pass, right? Everyone else is bad, but Faker is god. He did nothing. He was a non factor. If he was still the best or one of the best, SKT might play around him for a change, but they don't. And of course, if SKT doesn't fall behind enough for Faker to get to 4-5 items as Azir, he is gonna carry and then everyone will be like "erghmagerd Faker 1v9 pog". How about we start criticizing Faker for one? 2018, you blamed Untara, you blamed Blossom, Blank etc for being bad, Bang for being washed up, Effort / Wolf same. You now have Khan top lane, one of the most impressive Korean tops, Clid who is supposed to be exactly what SKT wanted in a jungler, Teddy, the best ADC in LCK and probably in the world and Mata, and greatest support of all time, and SKT still struggles to do anything, and even get extremely exposed by IG in 16 minutes! When do we finally start criticizing Faker for being average as of late? In the IG game, he started with an advantage and still managed to give up 3 kills mid lane to get that Camille ahead. In this game, he literally did nothing, Caps clapped Faker, even with the big advantage his team had. If this video was popular, I'd expect to get flamed hard because "how can I talk about Faker like this". Fanboys will never stop, they will just chug down anything the "analysts" say about "Faker is the best blah blah". Blamed everyone else last year for SKT's failure. Who are you gonna blame this year, fanboys?
@@ArcaneTricksterRS you are aware that after last year, this SKT is built around and for the purpose of supporting faker right? Their best chance at defeating these top teams is to give him the opportunity to snowball and carry. In their first game against IG, camille camped and shut him down pretty hard so there was obviously nothing he could do. Hell, the fact that Teddy and Mata picked Sona/Taric showed that they weren't taking that particular match seriously as they were just trolling or trying out different comps (which didn't turn out well). Look at SKT's second match against IG and how cleanly they played. They got faker's ryze a couple of kills which allowed him to get ahead even though Khan was struggling against TheShy (granted, Khan still did well and didn't allow TheShy to snowball too hard) and eventually faker became huge and too much of a monster in teamfights for IG to handle.
@@ArcaneTricksterRS lol okay there bud. More like your only argument is "you're a faker fanboy". Obviously faker has bad games like everyone else but that has not been the case recently. Take two seconds to look up what's been going on in SKT the past year and sources will say this new team was rebuilt around faker. Pay closer attention to, or maybe ACTUALLY watch the recent SKT vs IG game and see how well Clid and Faker did against them. Get your information correct and actually build an argument or get outta fucktown with this "you're a faker fanboy so you won't understand my non-exsistent argument" bullshit.
@@PekingPsyduck Alright then, Clid said that "I hope Faker can follow up on my aggressive play and keep up", which, even though it might seem kind of a joke, it has a lot of truth in it. The guy does his thing and expects his laners (primarily mid, since it's MID LANE) to follow up. Khan is a player that doesn't play supportive to someone else. Teddy is a 1v9 player. Did you watch LCK this year? Faker was on Urgot - Lissandra duty most of the split, which means he was playing supportive champions so that Khan (on Irelia mostly) can carry, or so that Clid can get support and Teddy to carry.
It has been a long time since I complained about the casting in lol but for this game the casting was rly bad (especially the first 10-15 minutes). They talked over each other and rather than inform and engage they distracted me from what was going on a lot of the time. Would rather the casting to be more focused on what is going on on the screen.
38:53 look at caps moving toward faker with no vision on that side of the map. I wonder how he knew faker was backing at that spot. unless he's just throwing random skillshots for no reason whatsoever and faker just happened to be at that particular spot. Hmmmm what a coincidence(i dont believe in coincidences)
This was a good game by g2. But it feels like the hail marry pass in groups. I feel like they gave everything they had to place 3rd. I dont think they have any chance to win it all.
Holy shit. SKT got demolished by G2 and IG. Best of fives would end in 3 games for both IG and G2. Korea is really weak for 2 years now. Meta doesn't favor them at all. It's all about aggression. Korean players are way too passive to do anything right now. Unless they change their attitude there is no way in hell anything that comes from Korea stands a chance against the best teams. On the other hand GRF played really well at the start of the split and then they koreaned out to the state they are in now. Maybe it will change, and i do hope it does, because GRF was super fun to watch. Same with G2 and IG
@@MrNaevus19 Idk man I disagree with this. This game is the exact opposite of what you said Skt went with early comp Jayce and Elise early game champions (if they dont get ahead they will be behind in teamfights) they had this game locked sure win until they underestimated G2 so much that they went to a 3 v 4 fight in 25:17 in this video. Then Skt panicked lost the game pretty sure if this was 5 games Skt would be able to calm down next game and win against G2, the game against IG was also done in 5 minutes with the Sona Taric game (bad picks and bans) and we didnt see SKT vs IG real match.
@@Comelyman2 To be honest i was a little hyped up about the match and now that i am a little bit relaxed i realised that my reply was a little disrespectful. Sorry about that. However i stand by what i said. They may went with early comp, but their playstyle was still standard. They didn't take advantage of their comp and were pretty indecisive. Korea is on the backfoot for 2 seasons now. Where they were the innovators for 5 seasons before that. I like that the regions are much closer now than ever, but when you think about it it's just improbable that Korea stands any real chance against top teams. It's NA 2.0. And we don't need it like that. I want all 4 major regions to be contenders for the top. Maybe some day
@@MrNaevus19 you know what SKT strength is? Faker lol. I know its a team game, but it has always been faker. Yet they want to try and make him some kind of support for the past 2 years. It should be "play around faker, not faker play around the rest".
I do watch the games and you should know anything can happen. Nothing's guaranteed especially during the knockout stage. I'm not saying G2 will be out, I'm just saying they'll need to adapt to IG and SKT's play style ASAP if they don't wanna get stomped.
@ you are talking like you know all the ins and outs of the internal G2 strategies prepared. either you are an overly talkative G2 analyst or someone talking out of their arse
@@kooldudematt1 Without reading ur post, do you think that picking pyke top in this tournament doesn't require big balls, it is not risky to play stuff out of the META, trying them out at MSI against the best teams? I bet if they had lost, you'd think pyke sucks. Just like Vayne against akali didn't work at all, they are risking A LOT everytime they play out of meta shit and delve into the UNKNOWN.
@@antooozzz Are you referring to the game where G2's top talked that hot shit that he could 1v1 Khan and then his jungler camped for him the entire game?
@@kooldudematt1 oh so your jungler gankimg a strong lane and easy matchup is not team skill and great comunication? It's not g2's fault if in the first game skt jungler was afk while jankos did some great ganks on a lane with a winnable matchup. And Wunder did not talk shit he just said he wanted to 1v1, but you can never say how a game goes, there are players who actually talk more shit than him(see DoubleLift) he'd actually one of the most chill players ever. Also picking jayce wasn't broken at all? He has no counterplay atm what did you wanted g2 to do? Bend over and wait of the pounding? No they went for a creative pick that could still be useful and not lose lane as much as other champs would've(he could've went of a tank like ornn or sion and engage but he would've been 0-10 in lane), instead taking your own risk and findin new ways to counter your enemy is actually skill. Also it's not like pyke requires 0 skill to play and can always win, you need to know when to engqge play around your passive, land hooks and his E, the ult is one of the most easy to dodge ults unless youre cc'ed, passive or not he's still squishy af, just abit of fovus on him and he's dead, something skt didn't do, he could've made that comeback on other champs too but you're salty only cause it was on pyke.
