Why did Hylissang play on Mikyx account for this game? Only Hyli would int that much

[@Kotnika]

No, just Hyli just lot better than Miky. Hyli is playmaker support

[@StevenBerg123]

i dont understand @10:00 how can wunder dash over the wall and use chains when he is only level 1?!?

[@astrozsfe9672]

sylas e1 is the dash e2 the chains?

[@bcoyne12345]

the champions name is sylas, the ability is called abscond/abduct (dash/chains)

[@zulchemical]

You never played Sylas?

36:53 the Rell just absolutely deleted that giant shield from Karma and Leona with her Q. That was awesome lol. Wasn't Carzzy breaking that down that fast.

[@patrycjasikora6536]

caps is truly master of this game, last action before he die, the clicking show was amazing

[@nenadmiljkovic4645]

Dude i watched that last fight like a hundred times, it was absolute perfection by Caps. Gives me chills every time. The man is a monster. Claps is activated, we just need Wunder and arguably Jankos to wake up.

[@muhfreebrums5445]

Jinx didn’t build runnans, why though? They were clumped almost every team fight, the runnans would of been a better purchase than phantom dancer imo. I’m not the best player so maybe kiting was the better choice.

[@shun8104]

Caps was scripting last fight. His movements were super clean

LEC: Crown

What happened to the music?

[@joneszim680]

I want the damn pick phase background song!!!

[@JgHaverty]

Here you go dude; has EVERY song they use in all phases. Some are placed/used in different spots though; so might have to look around. The "easiest" way to go about it is look at the album as well; this "rock song" isnt going to be on the album "EDM INSPIRATIONS" or "CLUBLAND 09" for instance lol. lol.fandom.com/wiki/Broadcast_Music/LEC

if wunder early item is zhonya's instead of muramana it would be very helpful in a teamfight

[@shyvasilverlake6023]

i love how the commentator saying all of those good comment about G2 leading the game, that they will win the game, but G2 flopped. too bad.

These games are uploaded so late. They are currently on game 3 and this channel just uploaded game 1. Don’t restrict other channels from uploading games if you can’t do it on time

[@ratatatom2272]

Woah dude why so toxic if u want the vod so bad why don’t just wacht life ?

[@areebjunaid1505]

Never understood this, i get not being able to watch it live but if you are late a game or two you can easily go to live stream on youtube and go back to the first game. Their upload speed is perfectly fine

[@impunny7338]

ratatatom idk how it’s toxic. The lec restricts everyone from uploading vids when they are late. They just uploaded post game interviews before game 4. I don’t get how it doesn’t annoy you

[@areebjunaid1505]

@@impunny7338 bcoz u can still rewind and watch the livestream by the time they start uploading.So you do have an another option. There is literally usually no situation in which you can't watch the games

[@niccolopael5760]

good macro by mad lions in the late game

[@MrMCKlebeband]

caps (or grabbz) needs to chill, pick ori mid or something and not load all the carry potential on caps alone. they really need to change up their drafting style.

[@JgHaverty]

While Im not pleased with their showing today; this is fundamentally "what they do" and very likely intentional. Game 1? Ass beat by gnar. Game 2? Ass beat by gnar. Game 3? Ass beat by gnar... Game 4? "guys? We're banning gnar right?" :) Also, I watched an interview from Grabbz just a day or so ago; he was voicing his direct concerns about his "irritation" that were they to win spring split and go to msi, they have NO practice time in between; they leave the studio and basically would fly to greenland. What better way to test things than against a competent team in a Bo5 scenario that has basically no real implications on your standings? Think about it... Karma ADC? TWICE? Akali is pretty regarded as "horrible" in pro play; but how "bad" is it? How does Jayce and Viktor combine in a team fight? Is nautilus really not priority right now? Im obviously speculating; but when you think of the events, the drafts, the absolutely bizarre lack of focus bans, the circumstances, and nature of everything... it more and more paints a picture of G2 not "throwing" or "memeing" (ok, game 3 against S04 was garbage lol) but more towards "getting more play time" and "testing comp ideas". Wunder on sion for 4 games in a row? Thats literally his worst champ lol. I just have a really hard time believing G2 would think an AP carry top lane, with an AP carry midlane, with an AP carry bot, a support that does primarily magic damage, and a jungler that primarily does no damage being anything close to something resembling a "good draft". Im not thrilled with the results of today, but Im also more raising an eyebrow than flipping tables lol.

[@bcoyne12345]

@@JgHaverty i thought along similar lines when i saw the tweet about this being a 0-3 week. They are obviously practicing difficult team comps because grabbz made them and it will pay off. If you look at the players cams at the start of game two vs near the end, at first they are like "grabbz griefed us with this draft" but as the game goes on they get used to their comp and actually execute on their win conditions pretty well despite losing. They could easily play meta and stomp mad imo as you saw in game 3 but this is, as you said, practice for msi

[@MrMCKlebeband]

i don't know... this just sounds like the usual "they're just trolling/practicing" maybe 2021 Eu is closer then you think?

[@bcoyne12345]

@@MrMCKlebeband we will see come next week, my belief is still that they are saving their strength for more important matches, double elimination gives them more room to find their footing in the meta, still confident in their stacked roster to perform when it matters. Also, EU>NA ;)

[@Airsicktitan]

Casters are very G2 biased, oof.... I mean, I like both teams, lol. But dang, anytime G2 does ANYTHING, "CAPPS CAAAAPPPS?????!!!" He presses right click, lol
