[@BettySmite]

just wanted to say a massive thank you for 4,000 subscribers - you guys are insane, and i'm so excited for you to see what's coming up in future. and i know i'm a day late and in the wrong continent but happy thanksgiving to those celebrating!

[@paulybmn6145]

Cheers bro. I really enjoy all of your content!

[@arceo2539]

Its no prob man, watching trough the best and funniest moments in Smite history is amazing! love the content and cant wait for more

[@dairtobefalco52]

Yea man I’m a old school player, it’s awesome seeing all these clips. I was hoping you’d do a video on the launch tournament

[@capurera2]

I don't know why you do it, but damn do i appreciate the work you put in. Makes my day every time

[@BettySmite]

I already have! Search the history of the launch tournament :)

Seeing adapting with hair again is a trip

[@yameteoni-chan2815]

I'm seeing it again

[@tylermalovich4875]

Imagine if THIS Luminosity team had Baskin in mid, it wouldve been over. ScaryD and Masked may be the most underrated solo/jungle duo in SPL history and showed up this LAN, and barra/jeff of course. Someone with immense game knowledge and technical skills like Baskin (who played mid for LG in a later season) it wouldve been a wrap

[@Mathewrath]

Ah! Yes! The season that got me into the SPL

[@painfullyavarage4316]

Could you do a video about all the spl skins and the moments that inspired them? I.e. 1v4 Cu Chulainn

[@dthlight]

This is a great idea

[@kj500]

Yes

[@Stampee23]

The only problem with that idea is the splyce jorm skin cause it wasn't even a thing at worlds

Love the series, keep it up man!

[@aesirshero2490]

This was one of the best sets I have ever watched.

[@Shenmoki]

Season 3 had easily the best storyline. Hindu really killed it.

[@BiggDaddysCheese]

Gotta love seeing incon on the desk

[@AndrewSmith-nu9kj]

I was in the audience for this. It really was amazing. And then that iza pick. You felt it. You could feel the energy drain from that room. Still an amazing set.

[@Ceris2]

This was such a wild set to watch. I remember being so bummed out by the izanami pick when it went through. I know they were going for a funnel strategy now, but at the time it felt horrible as a viewer

[@ruifernandes6808]

Probably would have steam rolled any other team too

[@drumline17]

Funnel strategy?

[@oodlesofnoodles23]

@@drumline17 yeah, its actually supposed to be fun L strategy. As in, youre gonna take the L, but youre gonna have fun doing it. Jk i have no idea what it means either

[@drumline17]

@@oodlesofnoodles23 Lol...I do remember after it happened Xeno changed his twitter bio to something like "that idiot that picked Iza mid". Shit definitely works in ranked, interested to hear what a "funnel strat" is though

[@zachnewton9165]

@@drumline17 I imagine it's works around directing team fights into a tight corridor with Izanami at the back where she just holds left click and crits the enemy team to shit. But that is just a guess because I honestly have never hard of it before.

[@MrGillElstree]

Such a great set - proper heart-racing stuff! I honestly have never seen a player so pumped. It clearly meant a lot to Kennet.

[@camerongill1905]

Anyone else notice how few of the pro's are still in the scene and the ones that were noticed all the interactions back I. The day or in SCC but recently challenged SPL like masked knowing even back then to ult for knockup immunity Vs geb and very small minute plays which turned fights back in the day which back then even high level ranked players didn't think about. Shows how much the entire smite scene has evolved to the point even ranked players are expected to understand even situational advantages and if they don't they aren't even considered average. It's absurd how far smite has come in terms of just the ranked scene let alone the pro scene

[@rotn2013]

BTW, pet like NuWa's soldiers used to remove backdoor protection on structure

[@adrianbailey2794]

This set, was the one that got me hooked.

[@xenico8233]

Great videos!!!

[@Wampuscat6970]

Miss these old days of smite

[@ZMemme]

HughZ was a great caster damn 1:05:29 you just know Adapting was screaming at the biased crowd

[@diegochavez2012]

of course it was biases, the tournament is held in Atlanta, US

[@7PlayingWithFire7]

​@diegochavez2012 It's just biased cause of american exceptionalism and extreme nationalism

[@Chernobog34]

I will never stop being dumbfounded when ScaryD managed to escape that near deicide in Game 4.

[@TheCsquared08]

I've never been as deflated as I was when they picked Izanami mid. The most depressing pick I've ever seen in competitive Smite. I still can't believe it.

[@Spungizzle]

Listening to Trixtank use Danish figures of speech, translated to English will never not make me chuckle... "Knows it out and in..." Bruh, you were the best man :)

[@ggmalaka]

Man I miss Dimi so much Probably the best the best solo laner to play the game in terms of team fights

[@xmelseru]

nah thats gotta be variety

[@7PlayingWithFire7]

​@@xmelseru That final Tyr game by Dimi would make Variety blush

[@Funnyclips0231]

​@@xmelseruvariety wasn't that good in teamfights pushed way to much forward while nrg teamfights were alot better and changed targets when variety just tunnelvisionrd

[@lukedonley274]

NRG deserves a whole video dedicated to them. They made smite the competitive game that it is now.

[@Lovegluv]

They played so wreckless back in the day

[@OreoNebulaz]

Could you do Rival vs NRG season 4 one of the greatest sets of all time in my opinion.

[@davidwilliamson8502]

Love seeing Incon commentating.

[@kylecrutchfield5632]

So hard between this set n obey vs nrg season 3 finals. Season 3 was definitely the better swc.

[@MarkieBee]

Hell the world champs were crazy

[@necroLAN]

Ah one of the classics.......

[@samjgollings8664]

[@andrewthao3518]

Ahh I remember watching this Worlds it was so hype until Xeno chose Izanami haha

[@tylermalovich4875]

yea that kinda ruined what was the perfect set

[@bryandlc]

This series was fucking crazy man.

[@natelamping2125]

Man I miss jeff hindla, he may be done playing at the top tier but I think it would be cool to have him doing commentary

[@Wanzemaljac994]

[@hoxyheart5479]

I came here to say one thing and one thing only; "FINALS ON THE YOU DONTT WANNA FINAL GRAB YOUR SHIT BABY IT'S NEMESIS JUNGLE!!!" this was such a fun set to watch.

[@MrJackholles]

EVEN FURTHER BEYOND! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[@CapNapier]

IMO the greatest SPL set of all time

[@ScrollWasTaken]

It wasnt an SPL set tho...

[@everythingbanana1237]

I’d take Epsilon vs Cloud 9. I think the story was better and also watching how good epsilon was.

I wish Incon was a caster he has such a bright personality.

[@kieranpearson5096]

No

[@stubbsie1038]

People forget that adapting had to build tanky or he would be targeted his damage wasn’t important compared to his utility on fenrir he had yamam and emil to do damage from his CC

[@samjgollings8664]

Masked’s Mercury in this set giving off serious “KanyeLife Ares” vibes. That was what flipped the games in LG’s favour. He had nowhere near the same impact playing Rat or Awilix

[@fin3662]

i didnt play smite at this time at all, can someone explain what's so bad about iza mid?

[@BettySmite]

It wasn't a horrendous pick, but just a bit of a "gimmicky" one... She provides an absolute ton of pressure from the midlane, which is helpful but she's extremely bad at escaping when junglers/solos jump on her, and she can't provide nearly as much as a mage can in a teamfight, which is where xeno had been standing out in that set. Historically, she was one of those picks that got tried out a few times per season, it inevitably went terribly, and everyone stopped picking her again. Very high risk high reward, but the risk didn't pay off here at all...

[@MajinBuusha]

I know Adanas and Trix are casting but who is the third?

[@BettySmite]

HughZ, a caster from Australia!

[@MajinBuusha]

@@BettySmite Oh yeah! I recognized them but the name kept leaving me! Thanks!

[@edwinmora7034]

I think people are forgetting the most important thing here. LG needed Soar to lose there next game to make it here. Then after that they made the defending champs sweat so damn hard that it just made this set an unbelievably amazing moment in smite history.

[@7PlayingWithFire7]

Funballer sent LG into worlds with his hard carry Freya. Qvo, funball, xaliea, trix and lawbster played better than the rest of the tournament, once the pressure was off of them

[@anthonylluberes4338]

I miss this map tbh

[@ttzzttzctzz847]

32:53 did he say Masked fucked up?

[@Mathewrath]

In 19:08 they could had a better result from this engament. Bellona w/o ult has very low escape potential, so he most likely would have died anyway. ScaryD was very low, could be a easy pick for Janus. Dimi should turned and used his 1 to box, bait the enemy damage, and Yammyn could secured a kill, bc ScaryD had no def, and he had a lot of flat pen, afterwards Dimi would died, and Janus would have fled. If Jing Wei stayed in the fight, she should've been the focus, since Baellona is a hard counter to her, probably would have been a relatively easy pick

[@kieranpearson5096]

That's literally how she is now lmao. The pros say she's bad, she's bottom of most tier lists etc. She needs a rework

[@FJTCZ]

I am tired of this game, every time I try to play its a literal lagfest I go on to anything else and it's just fine. Years have passed and the servers have not gotten any better at all.

It's not always the servers lol. You said always lag so it's definitely your internet aswell
