How To Play Mid Competitively | DUS Tournament NNO Series

[@Nemesis_lol]

note: This is not finals, this was played a day before "semifinals"

[@qeekmje6299]

so there's gonna be more like this? this is great content

[@kiwilealfraire1127]

Can we talk about Kesha btw ?? He is so humble and willing to listen i find that absolutely gorgeous to watch. He almost gets shout at and the man just says "yeah u'r right m'y Bad", keeps asking for input etc. Imo my fav underdog in the tournament

[@ItsJustLaurence]

Trueeee because he knows he has Neme that knows how to play pro-wise so he is willing to learn and listen in order to play as a team 🙏

[@SquallBerserk]

Kesha screaming "GAMING GAMING" in the middle of the fight when everybody is calling is funny as hell. So much pressure and yet he managed to keep his cool. Also, Nemesis hardcarrying every match. Great content.

[@jonathanwedler7051]

I know that jungle and support will get a lot of negativity but I just want to highlight that they asked for help and actually wanted to improve. They are streamers who performed first time in a competitive setting and they let go off their ego. Even if they didn't win the tournament it's still really respectable

[@tomwanders6022]

Honestly a really nice comment to read. I think Kesha did ok. It can also be really annoying for some people to follow calls, and they handled that pretty well.

[@echotheredeemer]

Neme, I was absolutely impressed with your ability to gap mid almost every single game, making early-mid-late game calls and navigate your team on the map at the same time. I mean, this tournament has showed to everyone that you are way more than an average high elo soloq player. You are a beast, bro, well played!

[@dominicluck97]

He is rank 1 euw, and was rank 10 korea. I think that this alone makes him more than average player

[@trooperscientists2000]

​@@dominicluck97I think the comment refers to the bad perception people had/have on him. Especially regarding pro play, where rumors about him being toxic/ difficult to play with started spreading.

[@izjgxj4275]

​@@trooperscientists2000i mean from these games i could see where that comes from. He gets really competitive and invested resulting in some passive aggressive comments throughout. I won't blame him, really something i could see myself doing a lot just not in league because i'm shit at the game. Being really competitive is good but it seems like he might let a bit too much of that emotion out during the game sometimes. Nonetheless, incredible performance.

[@NDREI3000]

​@@izjgxj4275he wasn't passive aggressive tho, he tells his team straight up what they did wrong after the games so they know what mistakes they can avoid next time. he's a very "tough leader" kind of guy

[@roachdoggjr4648]

He has definitely improved all around since his days on Fnatic

[@SaikoSlime55]

this tournament was such a blast to watch

[@dsdsd9955]

Bruh you really shined this tourney. It was fun watching you play.

[@bryanluis6868]

The competitiveness is my favorite part of league of legends thb, I'd like to see more videos like this, keep going Neme

[@eltata6911]

Competitive LoL just hits different compared to soloQ. Watching players POV regularly communicating and scanning the map for potential plays is also way more interesting to listen/watch rather than having some platinum level caster screaming his lungs off to induce some excitement. Overall pretty cool event not gonna lie.

[@tostupidforname]

I really hate when people have like "how to play" and "guide" in their title but in this case its actually useful to watch(i watched it live) and yeah this is how mid should be played

[@d1vinejudgement]

An actual video of how to play mid. Crazy to imagine but literally there are levels to this game.Nemesis was levels above everyone here ,now imagine players at worlds might be levels ahead of him. Was really fun to watch and you earned my respect Nemesis GGWP

[@crimsonxii9361]

I don't think many players are "levels ahead of him". We have no concrete way of knowing, but I think that if he were to return to the pro scene, it would be something comparable to Caps prime.

[@Cainny]

@@crimsonxii9361 I'm sorry homie but regardless of individual skill level and how insane nemesis is. People *actively* in a team environment, playing at the highest level, getting coached regularly etc are probably quite a bit better than him in current state.

[@luminous3558]

@@Cainny clueless

[@tomwanders6022]

@@Cainnymost teamcoaches have barely if any knowledge of the game, it’s nonexpert organizations trying to hire experts. There is a reason why pro drafts look so incredibly boring and non changing. Because they don’t know how to actually counter enemy teams in draft. Other wise we would see a lot more champion diversity by having people not yolo lock them self into one theme right at the start of draft, like vi, who is neither strong enough to be a build around champ, nor flexible enough to be picked in much different than hard engage or catch comps.

[@crim1188]

@@tomwanders6022 It's not just that. Drafts look the way they look because of job security. Making daring picks in draft and losing afterwards, regardless of whether it was your fault or not, will result in corpo lizards blaming it on you. This toxic bullshit is present in both champ picks as well as builds

[@Tychaios0]

Makes me feel a lot better about my play when they are teaching the support macro concepts that I already know

[@tomwanders6022]

I honestly thought that was basic too, as a midlaner. But I theorycraft, about league all the time, running math, wondering what items to use and when and ofc when to send who.

[@ethosterros9430]

Makes me low key salty when ls is telling people to do things I do intuitively but I dont have the hands for pro play cuz I got into the game as an adult. It's actually disturbing that there are challenger player supports who dont understand to ward before they back then reset to get the wards back to sit on.

[@hamzaghalel2044]

Nemisis the goat

[@jasiuo6794]

holy shit, the sheer clarity of your mental stack is wild.. being able to think on such a macro scale whilst still getting perfect resets, laning, trading patterns, spacing, etc is wild

[@krukis98]

This is really really impressive shotcalling

[@wingit9]

I think nemesis is becoming a hermit of league

[@franlonardi971]

LS and neme reunited? i love it

[@TopoTopaco]

why is LS talking in the comms? is he the coach of the team or playing?

[@mupfel-erino1848]

I mean people forget that Neme is prolly one of the best competetive Mid laners Europe has ever seen. His Enemy is a person that never had the chance to go to EULCS and retired from proplay 2019, tho noway has been chall every season its just not compareable to someone playing in the best leagues on the world at a high performance.

[@jonathanwedler7051]

Noway and Nemesis actually played against each other in EUM semis in 2018 btw

[@nemokukeptiblynu]

dude how happy was kesha playing nunu :D gg wp

[@Spacelul]

these are so cool to see

[@roachdoggjr4648]

Was hoping to see more of this tourney from your POV

[@koreanata6951]

MAD Lions NEED Neme and Dzu. Who wants to see them play with Hyli, Upset and Elyoya in this team? G2 fans shouldn't give oppinions here! Oh and guys why didn't you take Upset for adc? He's a streamer too now isn't he? Neme - such a good shot caller. It's insane.

[@MunkeyBrewster]

So excited to watch this Syndra Tech!! 41:50 Game 2 Start time

[@kianbongulan6785]

This is the video that I want. 1 hour and up! So fun to watch while eating. GG neme!

[@Sunxile]

hopefully you post all the series, what a shotcalling beast man

[@RenatoIRL]

this proves that Nemesis should be competing in a high tier team, you deserve to be world champion man

[@nathanl8769]

Does it? Lol

[@Aldossar8]

I like Nemesis and all but some of these fans are extremely delusional

[@SkiesWRLD]

delusional? he has the same accomplishments as Caps on the world stage if not better, the only reason he is not pro is cause his teammates didnt like his personality.@@Aldossar8

[@JoeMama-ik7qf]

think so losing to basically a retired regional team def showed his ability to play in lec, btw agurin was doing the same shotcalling shit as well so that argument also does not matter

[@SkiesWRLD]

I hate stories like Nemesis, the highest level of talent is not playing the game, yet he have bums on the world stage doing nothing for the region, nemesis aint even problematic he is a chill dude, he was super antisocial but he definilty improved, Korea really leveled his personality, and his gameplay has not become dull either, sign this guy before its too late.

[@magnusrasmussen7391]

This is awesome. Could watch this pov all day

[@TheIdeaTree]

Being the best player on the map and shot calling at the same time is INSANE.

Nemesis is just above their level (own teammates). Nice on keeping cool, kept cool and carried.

It must be very stressful to play with Nemisis. I swear he gets so passionate about comp that his voice starts to sound aggressive. I would crack like an egg.

tbh you almost lead your team to victory and do a good job in your laning phase carry, also big up to your team for their trust and listening, many other player can ego somehow on things, good games well played

Neme and Dzu - a team of 2 vs team of 8, especially with a bronze jg, supp and coach.. Absolutely hero mode. I DO wanna see Neme and Dzu play pro in a good LEC team. MAD lions need you guys. Go make them champions!

[@4seiken-594]

Is it just me who thinks this, or is it that everytime someone asks LS something, Nemesis is always first to answer and LS just repeats what Nemesis said but starting and ending with "yeah". Nemesis says "X champion is good here", LS follows with "Yeah X is good, yeah". Like, does LS even know anything or is he an incredibly good impostor that just fools everyone that he's knowledgable? This happens all the time I feel like

[@luminous3558]

Surely Nemesis was in every LS video/stream for the past year....

[@4seiken-594]

@luminous3558 That's not the point, just listen for it in the video. He repeats what other people say all the time. It's like he waits for someone else to say something so he doesn't say something stupid. Idk, just seems weird to me

[@taznx1509]

That’s just how LS speaks. Even if he disagrees, he’ll start off by saying “It’s fine” or something before offering other suggestions. You can watch his coaching of the Rank 1 Master Yi in the world to see great examples of this. Even in this video he’ll say things like “Yeah, Vayne is fine. Why don’t we just play Ashe and neutralize the bot lane though?” My guess is he’s just conflict-averse and doesn’t like to directly argue with people.

[@Tanitor]

​@@taznx1509 so imo there are 3 points to make here 1. Nemesis and LS both share a very similar believe on how LoL should be played and what champs are a good fit for/against comps 2. The pick/ban is not the place to open big discussions. Everyone knows LS as the guy that can discuss hours over hours about drafts and bis(best in slot) picks and i am sure that they discussed the possible drafts beforehand while, they were in voice before the series's and the day before DUS began (neme muted during it) As a coach it's also ur task to keep the players mental and when u have 30 sec per pick its better to just be agreeing 3. Its a For fun tournament where most of ppl have limited champ pool and no comp knowledge. LS knows this and because of this doesnt force himself too hard on the draft/team
