I’ve Never Seen a Play like This! Rank 1 CN Is Next Level - In Too Deep with Frodan

[@MrDankid]

it blew my mind the last play how he decided to tank a back liner, that was insane, great video and great analysis as always

[@lvke7]

27:01 this udyr healing at the end :0

[@DMsCloud7]

Half of it is coming from the off-side Rakan + trickshot's bounced-healing.

[@GioCarter]

This game was an insane display of skill, thank you! And really good commentary as always, very helpful!

[@basicnerd1347]

I really love these "In Too Deep" vids as someone who's been somewhat casually interested in TFT since Set 1! Feels like the perfect level of explanation of the strategy. Would love to see more!

[@ZakuRX82]

Such high quality editing and content selection, how you only have 48k subs is beyond me.

[@FrodanTV]

43k for now but we'll get to 48k eventually! (i hope)

[@Grymreaper]

@@FrodanTV dont get too popular! i need this information for myself and dont wanna share XD

[@jole5468]

@@FrodanTV wtf only 43k? i remember seeing you casting hearthstone way back in the day, assumed you had way more subs just based on having been around for so long

[@jasperforslund8224]

[@bigfloppa7760]

because tft is a dead game, low player base = low viewership

[@Nodiano]

Well, hullcrusher not only gives him defensive stats but also +30% as for every crusher, so it was also buffing xayah's offensive abilities

[@FrodanTV]

Yeah totally, just something you wouldn't consider unless you're thinking on a much deeper level!

[@pokemahan]

Equally incredible game and commentary! This game helped me realize I am not actually good at this game at all 😅

[@xXlizamaXx]

im like an ultra noob so a lot of these things are beyond my comprehension, so I am extremely grateful for all those breakdowns of the augments, they are so informative!

[@guy.8258]

Does re-rolling effect anything ? It looks free to me

[@TiagoLoww]

That last fight play was just wow.. just a question: my problem is not perform well while been contested.. either if i just powerlvl to bleed less or just try to hit the board contested, its just a bot4 most of games (for the other guy too anyway) not specifically talking about kaisa comps, but in general, what to do in those contest situations?

[@FrodanTV]

You have the right idea. Push levels and try to maintain higher health/stronger board and wait for the other player to bleed out. Try not to pivot unless you absolutely need to. The other option is to roll like a madman all the way down early

[@psychoedge]

If you're contested you have to evaluate whether you have the option to hit a 2*/3* earlier than your contestant. If it's unlikely plan ahead and keep the option open to rush and find the next higher vertical (e.g. they're rerolling 5 fated 3* but you rush and get 7 fated compensating for 2* aphelios/thresh). You can also stay open to pivoting into something yet uncontested. Sometimes a lower winrate comp might be open (currently for example duelists, arcanists, mythic, ghostly) but has a decent mid to late game and it lets you push toward legendary comps as an out. Generally if you are contested aim to have the strongest board possible at all times so you don't lose too much HP in the shaky phase by slamming items or buying additional 2* tanks or damage dealers to both keep you afloat and thin the pool.

[@TiagoLoww]

@@FrodanTV got it.. sometimes its just scary to roll down, hit nothing, and now youre doomed no strenght and no econ.. but if i do nothing im gonna bleed anyways. ty for the feedback u vids are super helpfull

[@TiagoLoww]

@@psychoedge i see, my mind is in the right place then, but im realizing now that i sacrifice too much hp for the sake of econ, like not rolling down when i clearly need to strengthen my board and estabilize, just to hit econ thresholds faster and sorta.. gotta pay attention to that. ty for the toughts

[@CringeMagnet]

That Galio sell to put double hull-crusher on Xayah was clutch AF … def impressed by that play

[@buscodolol]

frodan, maybe you could do a guide on the best 4/5 cost holders for ornn's artifacts?? since we are getting some new artifacts on may 1st if im not mistaken, it would be great to have a guide about the best users of each one of them! love your guides and your in depth analysis btw

[@FrodanTV]

Be on the lookout for the 14.9 patch 😉

[@buscodolol]

@@FrodanTV thank you so much!!

[@greent26tube]

Very cool analysis thanks man.

[@itskmillz]

wow learned a lot in this one.

[@birdsareneat818]

I've legit just been econing to 6, level shenna to two stars for the big pieces and then just use that to Windstreak until you can level to 8. I know I'm not insanely high rank, but I am almost plat one, and I find that by using this I am able to top 4 almost every game unless the entire lobby is super high rolling.

[@gtguilty]

Tbh in Plat anything will work aren't so good too, we can't take that as a measure(i'm Plat 1 too)

[@psychoedge]

be wary that the skill curve gets extremely steep at higher elos, what works in plat might not work in master at all

[@thunderlight8yt]

@@psychoedge actually that start def works in master, ghostly with senna cait aatrox jax opener is extremely good

[@hueyyang10]

As you get to higher elo everyone plays the same way that's why this patch/meta is so trash. There is only a few viable comps and whoever can highroll first usually has the advantage of top 4. Of course there are always high elo plays like the last one but yea. High rolling is so strong because of the bag size changes at least that's what I've been experiencing. I've bot 4 many times because when I roll 20g to try to stabilize and don't hit its basically over.

[@trollow2497]

Thanks for the videos frodan very helpful

[@JamesDun-f3r]

They need to pay this man a bag to cast every tournament from here on out

[@sunnywongcs1]

honestly i rather play win streak into irelia carry or simply fated in this meta rather than kaisa. My fortune rolls are like 2/3 into 6 for like 70% of the time and that's basically a bot 4 in a high tempo game cuz that griefed my early tempo/hp and cashout timing/value. the kaisa comp also heavily rely on 2 star 4 cost frontline and if your first roll at 4-2or 4-5 dont hit at least 2 out of 3 it's just doomed

[@spec1al69]

Good video, but cmon. Using gameplay where he finds Kaisa on carousel early, hits galio in a 2% shop, and a double udyr in shop on level 7, follow by udyr on next carousel is just dumb. Everyone can have good games if they high-roll like that. Huge props for the last play tho! That’s why he is the number 1

[@FrodanTV]

This set is filled with constantly extreme high and low rolling. This is just standard set 11 game tbh

[@psychoedge]

would be nice if you moved the builds of tftacademy a bit to the left so your cam doesn't cover it, other than that great video, thanks a lot!

[@665-9]

Agree

[@maxcallebout8396]

do this talented dude have a youtube or twitch channel ?

[@FrodanTV]

He streams on a Chinese site, so no KZbin or Twitch. You can find him on Huya

[@XieQiu]

Not an official channel, but www.youtube.com/@TFT-HuanMie uploads some of his games. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmPGnoJjpM6Hp5Y also features a crazy last round play.

[@herdiansyahdody]

my slow hand is crying watching this

[@jole5468]

winstreak with fated. pivot into 5costs at 9 is my favourite way to play this set, got to diamond this way when my highest rank ever before was gold, fated just feels insanely strobg earlygame when you can play 5 for the whole board buff using ahri and yasuo or ahri and thresh depending on what i need, either burst defense or defense over time

[@BTLtrips]

Super good video, thx.

[@Impactframess]

Magnus carlsen of tft? You mean k3gm? That’s the lebron jamesu of tft!

[@lifedeathhappiness]

Infinity force actually isn’t great on Kaisa, it’s more a front-line bruiser (particularly Yone / Voli who can use every single stat) with how much defensive stats it gives that you’d sac on Kai’sa

[@josephdoan1355]

People will contest you from the start of the game all the way to the end of the game no matter their position.

[@dogfood142]

like putting dclaws on backline units and then putting them solo in corner to bait lux ults in previous sets

[@ChocoJoyish]

what skill, my man got a Kaisa and Galio on STAGE 2

[@FrodanTV]

you'd still go bot 4 from that spot don't lie

[@ChocoJoyish]

@@FrodanTV kinda hard to go bot 4 from that spot

[@LChanceF]

post edit, when you're watching foreign streamers, if you could add translated text for augments it would be super helpful for us less knowledgeable

[@FrodanTV]

It surprisingly adds several hours to the edit which we try to get out ASAP, but I'll see if we can find some alternative solutions

@FrodanTV completely understandable. I would rather the frequent videos over delayed videos for some minor editing.

That's because you used on an artifact or incompleted item. You need to use it com a completed item
