i really love these draft videos, there are not a lot of videos that explain how drafting works this well, thanks a lot cathedral

[@nelmvn]

Better than LS.

[@blitzcrank4840]

T1 is the hardest team to draft against after the meta shift. JDG literally had to draft against the person with more than 80 unique champs and the pioneer of the current meta.

[@trithientran7146]

And T1 is very unpredictable. Who knew that Jhin and Yone will be played in the Semifinals?

[@oscarmundele1626]

You literally do not want to play blueside against T1 now

[@azurial2016]

T1 did shifted the quarter and semi meta into their favor.

[@thestoebz]

@@oscarmundele1626you don’t want to play any side against T1 😂

[@steamedbunnft4477]

like what keria said in the post match interview team with most flexibility wins the game

[@tillb287]

man we are blessed to have you. the amount of context you can add to these draft decisions is insane. every time a team loses at worlds they get blasted for their drafts/gameplay. you really manage to convey how difficult it is to get your preparations right.

[@snakeking5009]

I find this stuff really helpful and useful because it explains stuff that made no sense to me while watching the game. Like seeing crisp running around as a lvl 4 heimer dying to everything had me wondering if I had entered an alternate dimension but when you explain how bard was roaming and they couldn't punish aphelios because jungle was top forcing crisp to roam it makes a lot more sense and is super informative.

[@hachiko2692]

This is why Caedrel is massively ahead of LS and IWD. LS would probably bitch about some laner buying antiheal, while IWD would say that the Heimer is washed with no explanation.

[@hyunjaycho9004]

Game knowledge and understanding is what puts Caedrel above all those NA shitters doing nothing but reaction bait. Caedrel has good reactions + smart AF.

[@drkhrp]

@@hachiko2692 so true. lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@m4ng4n]

@@hachiko2692 to be fair, I'd point out that at least LS knows about everything ratking's talking about and probably more. His problem is that despite knowing more he goes the full circle to bitch about shit that's just not that relevant/useful for viewers.

[@arturoflash]

​@@m4ng4n The problem LS has is he's extremely knowledgeable but he finds all these concepts so simple that he doesn't seem to find the point of explaining it. This is my opinion on the matter

[@samuraii21]

Other streamers getting a real knowledge check after Caedrel. "Oh Heimerdinger is trash" gives no explanation why he's trash. Meanwhile Caedrel out here with paint and shit lol

[@gabsterrivera5674]

Totally agree 100%. Most streaming ex-pro players would just sh*t on that pick and just say from the get-go "I dunno, I just feel this pick is bad KEKW". Totally shows why they keep on getting gapped by better players, like they can't just admit that they don't know much about what's happening and just try to briefly explain what they see based on their own understanding rather than sh*t on those same players like they think they can do better

[@nitramx1470]

LCK coming out to help them out is so great! Getting the trophy for the boys.

[@chrischeng9145]

It's kinda wild how quickly it turned from individual teams competing to be the best into the best of lck vs lpl both sides working together to eliminate the enemy through scrims

[@hghAl0n3_]

@@chrischeng9145 I think it also has to do with the massive overhaul the LCK is going to go through next season and all the teams will likely split up meaning they don't care if they show T1 all their cards as most teams if not all teams will not be the same next season. I could see multiple teams not wanting to help because of the fact that they will reveal their cards for next season but because their most likely won't be a next season they just want the LCK to win.

[@giovanidejesus9100]

i believe T1 will have a hard time with scrims now, DRX and Weibo are "brothers", i do not know if any other LCK team may leak information of T1. Lets be honest how do you think DK, GenG and KT look now? do you really believe all of them want to see Faker lift a trophy the year they choked

[@aileene-ez9gx]

@@giovanidejesus9100 lol what a nasty take. They are helping because all LCK reps are eliminated very early. All of the players despite not being teammates are actually friends outside the competition. Many of them said in interviews that they respect and look-up to Faker too. This is sports after all - sportsmanship is key. It's the first step to greatness, if you don't have that and only wants to wish your rivals bad luck - don't play e-Sports or any sports at all. Plus, it's not like they won't benefit from playing against a good team like T1. They will help with their scrims and they will learn from some of the best in their region too for next season. Although maybe not DRX... last year DRX was their scrim partner so...

[@giovanidejesus9100]

@@aileene-ez9gxyou are talking like underhanded tactics are a myth, just look at Chinese teams, everyone knows they have been leaking scrims strats, is that sportsmanship for you?

[@SoulsOnly]

This T1 champ pool reminds me of the year Wings Gaming won the International in DotA2. Literally impossible to draft against, there's a famous meme image of PPD, the captain of the opposing team in the finals holding up a bunch of papers trying to analyse Wings' Champion pool, and then putting his head in his hands in despair when he realises it's impossible. Wings played 20 unique champs in their series. Edit: it was 22 Unique Champs in a 5 game series.

[@nathanhosea489]

Ppd finished in 3rd place, it was Wings vs DC in the final, agree with ur take

[@RayJay29]

Caedrel is such a great analyst and does a great job making sure many players that aren’t too in the loop of metas or how pro players will manage lanes, camps, ganks, etc. can learn it at a relatively easy pace!

[@steamedbunnft4477]

they tried wukong but keria is so clean with renata ult

[@matthewmoon6275]

wait it is so wholesome that KR teams are coming out to scrim T1, tells you a lot about the culture and how much this means to all of South Korea, not only the team that's still in it. I doubt we would see this kind of support from any other region.

[@TenjinZekken]

I mean it helps that the tourney is taking place in Korea. LPL teams would have to scrim from afar which wouldn't give you the best practice experience. I know the LEC and LCS woudln't do this, but I believe that if there were better circumstances, or if their entire region was out in quarters, they would do the same.

[@eugenewang4650]

It's simply more practice opportunities. Koreans dont take breaks if they can help it. Getting to play against the best team in your region with zero ping is still way more useful over solo queue on an individual level even if your team will go boom in off season.

[@xiraleighsaenz]

Nice draft analysis and explanation. But the repeating “wait, caedrel just cancelled it” in thr background is just hilarious I can’t focus lmao

[@bobbytaraantino]

[@Jack_Gibby]

In 10 mins of watching this video I understood more about draft and meta in pro play than all of LS’s streaming career. No shade to LS or anyone but Caedrel is a genius at communicating with just Paint and Liquidpedia 😂

[@Elainyan]

LS is too biased in drafting, he hates Renekton so much that he flames every team picking it. Last year he was so obsessed with Nasus support that he couldn’t shut up about it

[@Reia.P]

LS is like pure math, that he bases his thoughts on a perfect scenario and almost does things with name tag off. Caedrel is like statistic, that he is more on practical estimation and interpretation. Both sells to different target audience. I don't think no one will argue that the later is easier to understand tho.

[@racerkoala49123]

He’s like organic chemistry tutor

[@gabsterrivera5674]

Not taking away LS's skills as an analyst, LS does have some biased takes but it is with the intent that LS wants to show some ideas that may work on paper IF these ideas have the perfect conditions to allow it. Draft-wise and gameplay-wise, I think LS is okay. Caedrel, on the other hand, bases his takes on general pro-play knowledge and what he knows so far with the current game states that makes his predictions ever-so-slightly more accurate (if not straight out, because it's actually INSANE) than LS's. My point is, LS and Caedrel are both good analysts but both must be taken into the context they excel at, with Caedrel being slightly more well-rounded given that he has background at both being a pro-player and an actual analyst while LS has a good reputation of being an actual LCK coach (and an almost potential T1 coach) which is already impressive as LCK remains to be one of the strongest and most competitive LoL major regions in the world

[@lordheadass8310]

As you get further on into worlds I've noticed that early game domination comps become less strong compared to good teamfight comps.

yeah late game comps are op in knockouts. its just the nerves getting on the players so they prefer to play safe.

[@GCOSBenbow]

@@UnknownUser-xs7dg Scaling comps will always be OP in high level comp because people just make way less mistakes. Literally the only counter to that is bad balance/OP champs existing that are strong at minute 1 and don't fall off.

Think T1 currently is the closest we’ll get to the draft kingdom gods G2 2019 were. There’s all the double flex adc/supps and pocket picks from basically everyone, but the sheer amount of double and triple flexes G2 2019 had will never be topped imo.

[@blitzcrank4840]

2019 was the perfect meta for G2 to win and they didn't. To make matters worse, FPX beat them at their own game in front of their home crowd.

[@jimmyewald]

Close to what actually happened. Only thing he missed was T1 was happy to give over Ori because Azir does well into Ori. Therefore Neeko was the higher priority ban for T1. Things may have changed had JDG banned Azir.

[@Flexy59]

Funnily enough, faker's azir is the only one who plays well into ori, seeing as evrty single azir lost into ori at worlds while faker is undefeated in the same match up (or maybe 1 lose vs like 5 wins or sth)

​@@nathanhosea489Azir agreeably does not do well against Orianna, but JDG did overlook the fact that Faker's win rate with the Azir-Orianna match-up is surely damn good. Atleast Homme did acknowledge this but it's too late after the results, it may be inferred that Knight's potential is still not unlocked amidst everyone calling him "invisible" throughout the series but the consistent Neeko ban definitely showed his limits and the better midlaner actually came out on top in a laner-vs-laner scenario

It would be very hard to draft against T1 given all the information throughout the tournament. I may not be a very good draft analyst but I recommend WBG take Blue side as much as possible just so they can play their best style, no matter what T1 does. But then again, if T1 does take this as methodical and careful as possible, WBG might just play right into T1's hands and an inevitable 3-0 happens.

[@Pwassoncru]

5:40 I Think this is the problem with how people draft. This is extremely result oriented. If you watch the game, you realize that the range support is NOT the win condition at all, it's actually the opposite. The botlane is making them struggle, and the reason the support doesn't work out is both because the support players were not playing well AND because top/jgl of t1 have been destroying the tournament. We saw it during t1 jdg and t1 vs lng, ashe support either lost or almost lost. People need to stop being result oriented and watch the actual game The other problem with all you are saying is that it's focused like 90% on match ups. Lol is a game where if you're a tiny bit better than your opponent, it will impact greatly the game. The ban rakkan is a pure target ban against missing (90% winrate, 80% pick rate). Rumble on 269 was the same, forcing missing on alistar was the same: Not being result oriented but realizing that missing in LPL was super bad on alistar. He was also super bad during t1 jdg.
