I NEVER DOUBTED THEM I NEEEEEEEVEEEERRRR DOUBTED THEM

[@zerofire66]

One of the most adrenaline pumping games i've seen in a while, loved that game!

[@Censtudios]

52:40 after that last teamfight kobe going bananas. never heard him so excited that CLG won against RNG

[@QQRUMBLE101]

+Censtudios afterall he used to be an ex CLG jungler

[@kevincano9164]

+Sho Takahashi really?

[@savion8149]

+Kevin Cano yeah

[@crabs632]

+Kevin Cano yup

[@kevincano9164]

Which one is kobe? Sorry if its a stupid question to you guys i don't keep up with them

[@jrsilva8241]

"Look at Huhi, he still has brown bags on his feet! THEY'RE POOR! CLG are just poor little peasants here trying to get back into the game." - Kobe

[@jayvais]

Kobe's commentary at the end was epic

[@ahmethasantutun402]

Rip Kobe:(

[@brayanhenao]

Picks & Bans: 5:24 Game: 11:21

[@OmniMoto298]

+Brayan Henao I love you

[@stilker4975]

I may be european and tsm fan but this tournament made me to cheer for clg

[@lahhtoota]

+LearnerGamer I'm SKT fan and i have to give CLG a credit for their play. Well play CLG, they deserved the win.

[@JimMansonLovesParty]

Same

[@SNOWSOS]

Kobe was the best part

[@bigsweet6472]

Watching this 5 years later. Brings goosebumps, man. Hoping NA can make a good showing at MSI in 2021.

[@michi8050]

NA will never have team like a CLG never

[@EventH0riz0n]

Yeah.... i hate to tell you.... but this year is looking pretty....

[@Evan-rc2lq]

As a CLG player, how can you not turn to the crowd and shout "Are you not entertained!?" Gladiator style

[@Pavi132]

+Evan Hollnagel Well they're in China. On top of the crowd not understanding what they're saying or what they're referencing, they just beat the home team haha. Don't think the crowd would be very pleased with them!

[@lucasm.3864]

Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

[@crabs632]

lol you messed that up

[@lucasm.3864]

+A Smart Ghost I meant it as a play on the traditional phrase.

[@hashurhahi2829]

You misspelled jews

[@daringducky5337]

+Hashur Hahi it's funny you say that because when I read his comment I had to read it twice because I thought it said Jews

[@hashurhahi2829]

Daring Ducky that was the point of my comment :)

[@catcyc]

OMG, I was screaming and crying at the end, I mean watching CLG going this far, they learn from the mistake, they keep the faith. It's so hard not to cry a team used to become a legend in s1 and drawn so bad after so, now coming back to become the king.

[@yurille]

46:54 BEST ROCK NA, CLG MALPHITE SKIN CONFIRMED PogChamp

[@dragonforcecanada]

Picks / Bans : 6:25 Game start: 11:50

[@DannySullivanMusic]

That was insane

[@MsRandomPro]

"The silence in the crowd" - Kobe, May 7th 2016. Say's it all. and this my fellow LoL nerds, this, is how you make an incredible comeback, Pro...fessionally. and just for of the record, this is probably THE best comebacks I've ever witnessed, and from this day forward, i will respect the NA League more than i actually did before this, but don't get me wrong here, i mean, sure i respected them but this game, was truly truly a very huge eye opener for me, so ya if you wondered, I'm more of an Eu type of guy because love their style of play and alos im born ans raised here, but this comeback, was truly a special treat for my eyes. If there isn't a Team representing one of the EU regions, playing for either Worlds, Invitational etc i do usually go for the either NA or LCK.

[@arturobantugan1907]

Everyone from CLG played that last fight perfectly, Xmithie zoning off the Ekko, Aphromoo binding Wuxx and making him unable to contribute to the fight, Huhi positioning near the wall so that after zed ults Darshan can stun him, and of course Stixxay with the amazing DPS. Congrats CLG on the win.

[@mmm1826]

i remember watching this game and i legit jumped up and clapped and cheered, one of the best games to have watched live

[@Mmv1327]

can not stop watch this

[@manuelalfonso6774]

Amazing game, was worth to see it. Nobody trust NA players, but today, a little spot of light was seen.

[@kombatjenning]

COMEBACK OF THE YEAR!!! Plus Spawn's face and Jatt's jubilation at 56:10 !!!!

[@texasallstar6969]

I have not seen a game this good since.

[@MrKingleo11]

52:50 Lol Kobe... :o

[@zerch-box]

Came just to remember this game, this made me fan of esports

[@CrimsonSlug]

Picks and Bans: 5:24 Game start: 11:20

[@eagleman983]

This is the game that got me into League, and CLG

[@Bedardo12]

This is so crazy! I had to head out of the house after that Ekko wombo combo, and was so tilted once they were 8K behind that I didn't bother to watch the rest of the game when I got home. I went to look at the schedule for today and saw the article lolesports had posted and was like "wtf!?" So friggin hype!!! :O

[@ItsTheBibby]

It's that final teamfight that locked in my full support for CLG during this tournament. Normally as a TSM fan I am encouraged to dislike them but due to them performing so well, unlike the traitors known as G2, I really want them to go the distance.

[@bunsbunnybuns3728]

Can someone make a montage of all of Kobe screams from all the games he's cast?

[@XxILikePie03]

Those last teamfights; CLG are the record killers

[@malcovich_games]

The game after this, Kobe's voice was audibly destroyed...

[@iPlayChessAndStratego]

lmao the commentary after the last won team fight had me dying

[@lyrrr.8059]

holy moly, who wouldve thought kicking DL off the team would pay off this big? Stixxay is playing godlike

[@ji2661]

Nah it would have been exactly the same. Maybe even better for clg if he stayed

[@volcanox3390]

+BOB MASTER Not true.

[@eyesofthefox]

I saw the spoiler on the website before watching this game. Holy jeez what a comeback.Kobe's reaction is priceless.

[@user-ey4ut9uc8w]

Anybody remember the salty freesm fans talking about how clg was gonna make NA look bad? I'm glad clg is going to shut them up lol

[@kitten1591]

+Bebop Team Salty Mid

[@UnisusMC]

True, Tsm would've done worse than G2 top kek

[@zactown3736]

I NEVER DOUBTED THEM!!!!!

[@jonathanluk4858]

I love Kobe's shoutcasting

[@sgmetalify]

And they won 4x5 (Huhi is bad at Azir, period), stixxay is indeed a beast, and xmithie is the most underrated NA jungler, always knows how to be useful to his team regardless, not super flashy (like Dardoch, Reignover and Rush) but he always shows up strong and smart.

[@choihyena3119]

yeah lourlo

[@sgmetalify]

+Dashmin Ignacio oops, my bad... Wrote lourlo thinking of dardoch, corrected now

[@Pavi132]

+Marcus Vinicius Xsmithie has been a god during MSI for sure. 2 of their wins were off the back of him securing dragon over the enemy jungler, turning the game around for CLG.

[@Daedalus33]

I just noticed but xmithie kept ekko off stixxay's booty for so long in that last fight that it gave them enough time to focus the carries

[@Shingeki__]

OMG KOBE PLZZZZZZ LOLOLOL Bet Aphro would say that game was Ez kappa

[@daringducky5337]

FreeNG

[@ShadyOzo]

Stixxay mvp of msi. he saved clg so dam much tbh. Everyone in clg had clutch moments, but stixxay was just crazy in team fights.

[@honchogang996]

what a game clg really got a break and they took it hardtcore back at the ch team waow

[@joemcfly34]

+Honcho Gang uw0tm8

[@honchogang996]

?

[@TeQuiiLaSHoTZz]

NEVER SURRENDER BOYS!!

[@Pokerpro92]

look at this dragon fight at 48:30 .... holy moly that bronze lucian. he just went in like if he had an dc xD

[@Gymliftpeep]

Tsms msi performance got me so depressed im rewatching clgs msi

[@meamme99]

1:03:10 Shout out to solo queue for teaching LCS strats to pros

[@texasallstar6969]

WE LIVE ANOTHER DAY

[@youngbloodph4558]

Who was screaming at the end!??? RIP Headphones

[@Censtudios]

+George Obusan kobe

[@harshjoshi6570]

4

[@nasekiller]

i think huhi kept failing his ult on purpose, just to bait them in, finally worked in the decisive fight^^

[@binmalik58]

Huhi again acting like he is all bad early and mid and then rek em all late wow... And xmithie dafuq man i just remember his sej plays and now he is rly steppk g up his play

[@MattLeveck1421]

All game these casters were doughting CLG and acting like they were doing the wrong thing, when I knew they were playing great, playing the favorite with RNG while I knew CLG would win. They played beautifully.

[@texasallstar6969]

Probably the greatest comeback in esports history.

[@russellcatt8250]

What a game!

[@rtnoobify]

all the regions look good this season, cool to see clg won with all losing lanes. Darshan has been relevant in fights despite being behind last few games "Dat team fight" -HotshotGG probably

[@miikee97]

+rtnoobify all regions look good? including turkey and europe? xd

[@rtnoobify]

***** on the season they look better eu will catch up kids these days just want conflict...

[@miikee97]

+rtnoobify of course they looked good in the season, if they didn't they wouldn't be in msi in the first place.. god you're dumb :/

[@miikee97]

+rtnoobify aiight man have a good day

[@mrsuperbigmac]

Yo my bad but im a lil dumb, whats that number next to the baron, it varies up and down like +1800 - +2000

[@goatman1390]

Watch clg vs M5, one of the greatest comeback too!

[@cr3hat3]

At the end we see Aphromoo giving an interview to the Chinese (?) caster. Anyone have a link to the interview?

[@babaspector]

im here from the future after kobe made a reference to this game when EG danny got his baron + penta vs TL

[@0Al7zin0]

11:11

[@uzernam303]

And so it was written in legends, that RNG threw so hard the game landed on the moon. (Wux getting pinned on that rock by Poppy on what should have been the last fight of the game to end in RNG's favor. WP in the end by CLG, but he never should have given them that chance to come back).

[@arturobantugan1907]

Yeah, but that's what happens when you have such a huge lead in early-mid game. You kind of start to slack off in late game and just let the other fed members of your team do all the work. I'm not saying that they played bad or they got cocky, just that RNG's concentration kind of fell off. Like someone said in the comments, if you look at the last dragon fight, Wuxx just dashed in and suicided. RNG still played amazing though.

[@syezar]

they did the same with immortals, clg is so fun

[@0968090]

MVP Kobe in the end xD

[@JayFiCPA]

Good casting man too bad we don't get these kinda games anymore

[@polishguy8495]

Im from europe, usually cheering for them but now with G2 being losers and not preping for MSI I guess NA>rest of the world>AFK soloQ nabs> EU

[@Ditrixz]

53:43 Aphromoo friendly hugs Mata

[@billphobos9634]

Has it been poppy vs ekko in every top lane match up?

[@nevergonnafindme5778]

No

[@sirhelmsly]

+Billy Swoboda Yes

[@Baykko]

+JoelHelms Maokai and Trundle were in there, but as the tournament has progresed, Trundle fell off, its only Poppy Ekko and Maokai now.

[@Baykko]

+Billy Swoboda Maokai and Trundle were in there, but as the tournament has progresed, Trundle fell off, its only Poppy Ekko and Maokai now.

[@Juejuek92]

Question: Why is Ekko able to ignore the Azir ultimate at 42:17?

[@OneLastWo]

+Juejuek92 I think it is because of the morgana bind.

[@12thLONG]

*voice cracks* I NEVER DOUBTED THEM

[@Reydotcom]

Ah. Im so sad. Hopefully CLG becomes a top contender again

[@nickblindly9474]

no

[@MageB0nkPwn]

Im in love with the chick interviewer at the end *JP robot voice* "Please sit on my.. faaaaace"

[@lihanliong7381]

CLG amazing !!!!

[@manace]

YOU CAN CHANGE THE GAME BUT THE FAITH REMAINS!!!! #CLGWIN

[@teemo2114]

I NEED THE MUSIC FROM THE PICK & BANS :((((( I CANT FIND IT WHYY

[@BadMontageGuy]

Such a classic. Them also beating SKT. The first NA team to ever to beat them, T1, and it was CLG.

[@matthewlu3266]

Now aphromoo will say: yeah they're ez af.

[@konraddobrzynski7675]

52:45

[@itsJets]

CLG probably would have lost if that game was on a newer patch with the azir ult changes still well played though

[@r.7442]

look what wuxx is doing @ 48:35

[@emilkorac2037]

Wtf Kobe? Those Screams lol

[@lahhtoota]

+Emil Korac I'm actually screaming just like him during the live. I was like, CLGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG YESHHHHHHHHHHHH

[@a3wagner]

52:46 "STIXXAY IS GOIN' OFF AGAIN!"

[@Sp3ctre18Gaming]

52:49: "SEE E@#$LL GEE ARE GONNA WIN!!" Learning from the Phreak.

[@germanverner6501]

I feel like RNG just stopped playing at the end. Like 'ahhh lets give it to them'.

[@sergioblack1]

Name of the song of the champion select?

[@iansarsenal]

Spoilers** Im 42 mins in (the video) and It's incredible that RNG were able to throw this game.

[@Maxi_94]

I don't understand it. Huhi is the worst Azir player I ever saw in a professional game - xPeke close second - and yet they win with it against the undefeated Chinese champion. True Counter Logic.

[@CSXWuYu]

+Bumaye HGW adc wins

[@Baykko]

AkatsukiSasuke923 There certainly are a couple pocket picks for specific individuals. Fakers Zilean, Stixxay's Caitlyn, Wuxx Twitch and such, but the meta is still like 20 champions out if like 130

[@joemcfly34]

+Bumaye HGW boo hoo

[@texasallstar6969]

i never doubted them? umm at the start of the base defence he goes. this will be a god like fight for RNG ?

[@mush9966]

48:40 lucian??????

[@pingouinpingouin3444]

THEY DID IT !!!! hahahaha KOBE GOIN CRAZY!!!

[@vladimirmikhayleleonhart4889]

They Won because " HE NEVER DOUBTED THEM " !

[@xthelone]

so epic

[@SharoozI]

RIP to my goats

[@lulish1]

I want a ful match Kobe cam

[@raiss4679]

how do people look at all those characters at once!?

[@JerryReyes]

that arena is so badass

[@the1ucidone]

Kobe is the greatest caster of all time.

[@binmalik58]

I just cried at 38:36

[@drumsticks5880]

Stixxay you are officially a pro carry, that was all you and aphromoo. just amazing, p.s CLG you need to start searching for a new jungler, xmithie is a weak jungler.

[@MrToLIL]

+haunted chickens Xmithie saved that game, he prevented RNG from getting 5th dragon with lamb's respite. And look at his Dmg. PS. Get a clue

[@xXPaperXNovaXx]

After that clutch dragon play?

[@zactown3736]

Xmithie is clutch. Underrated to be honest. Of course he does have his weak games but it hasnt happen in this tournament yet (except that 1st SUP game everyone was tilted)

[@briangale1748]

clg kobe

[@DaNiEl313132]

If CLG will have Bjergsen they will get World Championship really easy, or maybe make a lane - mid game perfect. anyways huhi do it well in the last two fights

[@xPLCxTempest]

Huhi is better than Bjerg. Idc what anyone says.

[@DaNiEl313132]

👍

[@Arguing101]

+xPLCxTempest He hit like one ult haha. And I'm pretty sure Bjerg knows how to pin a dragon wall

[@MONKEMAN2000]

+Arguing101 huhi is complete trash on azir. Try to forgive him for that.

[@valkyries0]

goodbye CLG 😭

[@that408]

day did dit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Last_Sherlock]

anyone here after tactical's kalista vs flyquest ?
