Tactical Teamwork

[@is626]

Nearly cried. This guy shows great enthusiasm for the game and is a great team player and is good at it. This guy is someone i respect and wana play like him

[@jaywong2218]

this actually brought tears to my eyes, i'm not even exaggerating. great video and i hope to be able to have games like these when i play...

[@OliveEaters]

I love it so much when I do this, there is some games where I say the game isn't over but my team quits anyway. But when I say it and at least one person denies the surrender with me oh god it feels so good to come back for a close win or a close lost either way.

[@lagerbaer]

Nice. Speaking of teamwork, I think I have won more 4v5 games than I lost, for precisely that reason: The 4-man team feels that they have to work extra hard to win, whereas the 5-man team splits up, looking for the easy kills. And of course, starts raging at each other once the 4-man team takes one objective after another.

[@EduPotato]

so true.. I won a 3 v 5 once because of this

[@Varmint111]

Eduardo Dias same 3v5 from the start we just went watevs 2 ez and won rofl

[@takeabreak7179]

true I won 2 vs 5 once

[@king1thorp]

By far Ciderhelm one of my favorite videos for league. It was really inspiring and did exactly what you set out too do. Very very well done.

[@algaebruh1475]

It is hard to have teamwork on solo rank or even solo normal game, people get trash once they died,and this negative attitude would just made the whole team lose, Btw nice video it concludes the essence of LOL

[@LostsGames]

i have similar game, we played 4v5 our tristana have problems with connection, but no one on our team was angry at her, we just played the game and we won :) TEAMWORK OP!!!

[@cheesecakecaboose9572]

This was way more about them throwing than you guys fixing it.

[@IAmJeenyuss]

I love those comeback matches. Falling behind and looking to see what seems like a lost match, then securing the win through team coordination makes the best matches.

[@williamthetard]

Your down-to-earth ability to accept your teams and personal mistakes, whilst attributing to the enemy their worthy skill is commendable. Down-to-earth, realistic strategists win games based on what they believe the enemy is capable of (gold and skill wise), as well as accurately assessing your team's abilities to react. Great video.

[@wabaki4]

i like how you talked about the mistakes both teams did and said what should of been done. Please do more of these

[@AugustoXRock]

Good god Cider, thank you for sharing this with us, a TON of League players lacks the will to keep trying and not giving up, while still listening to each other to make coordinated plays. Thanks for setting a great example for the community.

[@nightmare564]

This stuff is so inspirational... I've been so negative in games before, saying we can never come back with my best buddies in real life, and nearly every time we somehow come back and they barrage me(in a friendly way) for being so negative. These kind of videos make me feel like I can make comebacks even in the slightest of chances.

[@ChazDemon]

Okay so I just started watching your videos because they we advertised on leagues login. All I have to say is that they're fantastic, a real help to me as a player, I'm not level 30 yet, but i think understanding these deeper tactics and teamwork mechanics, will really give our team the edge when we get into ranked games eventually :)

[@stiefmegan]

I've had games like this. Down all inhibs and turrets and then come back to win. Games like that are so fun, and seeing other people say they've had epic comebacks because of teamwork is really inspiring. This video almost makes me cry, because of how awesome it is.

[@Alninio]

Ciderhelm nailed it to the ground. The basics of any gameplay.

[@UncleSky]

This guy needs a lot more subs and views. Hes just epic, he nails every sepc of gameplay. Awesome work dude keep it up.

[@JohnCachero]

That was an awesome game commentary. Message heard loud and clear. Thank you for posting this. I'll be sharing this with all my LoL friends.

[@heliowolf5042]

These teamwork tactical videos are just great, do more please.

[@MaebyBaeby]

I still use the term, but yeah, it has the connotation that one team previously playing better and making better decisions stopped playing as well, while the previously losing team started trying harder and did better. I agree with you completely.

[@skyyward111]

I think this is the best video I've ever seen. This basically sums up all my thoughts about League.

[@Ghostlamp33]

I love teams like this. Very rare, but going in and saying a couple positive things before a game can really create the attitudes necessary for working together, and not just giving up if the other team is a little fed

[@Phoenix3566]

Just discovered your Tactical Series. I'm in love. Gimme some more of that football-style recap.

[@funkyjammies5374]

Amazing, reminds me of a 4v5 where our wukong trolled and fed J4 6 kills! I was playing Jax, and after Wukong afk'd, I was able to turn around the game by subduing and not dying to J4 until 11, where I started winning lane. Their whole team was super cocky, not pushing their advantages. Bot turtled long enough to where we were able to contest dragon every time I teleported down, and we won every teamfight until we pushed to their nexus. My favorite match I'd ever played!

[@armaniac661]

great video, Ciderhelm! I hope people will finally start to realize that teamplay is indeed the most important component in LoL, not an early death or misplay, cause that happens to everybody

[@jasonmarcellis3672]

Absolutely a great video. This should be a STICKY on the main page of league of legends website as well as the HUD. If everyone watched this and listened to what was being said... the Lower ELO's would be SO much more fun.

[@armaniac661]

that's true, but it's important to show politeness in the very beginning, even in champion select, cause then you increase your chances. It happened to me yesterday: I am normally a great TF mid, but I had a terrible start against a Fizz and fed him 5 kills. Overall we started off bad as a team, but won at the end, cause we stuck together. Usually I don't listen to loading screen tips, but the "A little politeness goes a long way" thing really helps when you play with people you don't know

[@zwaard13]

Wow, very impressive video. I loved the way you've put this together and made it constantly both interessting and fun to watch.

[@TechContraps]

His voice with the music just is amazing to listen to.

[@SwiftVagabond]

Finally a well known person is mentioning something I've been trying to inform players about for most of my LoL games... Teamwork is what makes League fun, I'm honestly sick of seeing people trying the 1 Man Army strategy and blaming their team when they fail... mainly due to team gold starvation.

[@TheSnakeEater]

I played a game like this literally 2 hours ago and I shouted out in joy and triumph. Seriously, I used every thing you said in this video, and you have no idea how great this video is. Thank you, so much Ciderhelm, because you were exactly right about teamwork. Seriously, everyone, go share this video with people that play league. Thank you. @Ciderhelm

[@YamchaBro]

thats why you make the calls and share the positivity, and of course, play the best to your ability

[@PentagonFish]

"This is what league of legends is all about" I got goosebumps from that

[@maCAWfactory]

your last few sentences all most drew a tear, great vid sir

[@Dinakol]

Man, you just inspired me to try and lead my team even in bad situations! Thank you, Ciderhelm :3

[@Selcatys]

Omfg you won a subscriber, really well explained, i had goosebumps while looking at this video... Continue like that your voice is exaclty the kind of voice i love in Lolreplay commentaries!

[@ottis679]

i love hearing you talk. it makes me love league of legends just tthat much more. ive been playing since 1 month after beta and i love this game in its entirety.

[@smexyapman]

Probably the best league video ive seen yet. Amazing

[@NANIKANSEIDORIFTO]

Teamwork really makes the difference. I still remember one ranked where my team was losing in towers, kills, barons and drakes and hold off with just nexus for over 40 mins of the 80 mins of match and we managed to win for reasons u mentioned. So to all LoL players out there remeber teamwork is the key :D

[@TheJokerscene]

I learned this back in Twisted Treeline Vanilla. Enemy was at the final inhibitor so we opted for a two man distraction while I, playing Varus, pushed top by myself. They had a four tower advantage but we still got off the win.

[@Redlinelol]

one of the best videos i've seen recently

[@dimibet]

This commentary change me... this video has everything that the EU server must learn! This music gave me shiv with this voice on top of it! This was A GAME!

[@ecoharbor1558]

Not even the basics, he goes far beyond that and for that, i respect this guy. cieerhelm is awesome (FACT)!!!!!!

[@HeliGubben]

"Covering the teams weaknesses" Was a point he brought up, you can probably manage to change that. If you make your teammates feel comfortable enough that they believe in themselves, they can probably overcome their bad decision makeing.

[@uhavemooface]

I think that teamwork is the best thing in the game. Getting kills are great but team work helps you win the game. Working together is the best in this situation. And its the best in all games. But people love doing their own things and that is the reason why we all lose in a game like this. Great video by the way keep them coming. I know I am late on this post.

[@nerdherd101100]

that is very inspirational Ciderhelm! loved the team play your team did :D

[@Freedan14go]

Nothing has gotten me this inspired to play since the "I am support" video... Ciderhelm i love you :D

[@N3LLIntrepid]

Really nice game and i love your message. I too try to give the same message to my friends and who i play with. IT truly is what league of legends is all about.

[@pokeness686]

Quite possibly Ciderhelm's best video.

[@Wolfgaros]

Ciderhelm is right in everything. Teamwork is the most important thing in the game. Individual skill is also important, but that does not mean we can not play as a team better than the individual with tremendous potential. Everyone can make mistakes, but leave game when somebody make mistake? That is a low morale. And the worst thing is when somebody use offensive language... Anyway I wish you success and good mates in the game. All of you guys!

[@bx9559]

This video describes a dreamland of league of legends. I loved this video and its message, but with 4 other crazed kill-hungry newbie on the team it's hard not to get lost in the fray.

[@Wiiranger87]

agreed. I had my fair share of comebacks which made me extremely reluctant in surrendering every match especially in ranked. Best fight to the end on the hope of winning than give up and regret on your mistakes. I had a match as adc and loss my lane horribly. our team was really down and about to give up, even I, however there was a Jarvan who kept on being optimistic and basically took leadership. Every death he still kept his head high which helped raise our spirits. We won the match :)

[@oOSvalbardOo]

Words to play by ... thank you Ciderhelm.

[@CidHighwindRocks]

Great video, this should be mandatory for ANYONE playing League to see. Quitters can ruin any game with their negativity and League is such a game that comebacks are rarely impossible to achieve. Granted it can be frustrating when you're getting constantly wrecked but if you group up properly and work together most problems go away.

[@delanolouis7349]

I hope alot of league players see this video and see how much team work can save a match. i say teamwork and good luck before every game,but no one says it bac which makes ppl feel good to see tht they want to really participate in a match; and when all the opposing side is killed i say push middle, but everyone is going solo and gives the opposing team time to respond. u show tru teamwork and how its done!

[@WailandVic]

I remember a game that was similar to this. We got slaughtered at the beginning but when the team fights broke out we stayed together as a team and won our way up and in the end took the victory. Ah.. I miss those matches..

[@heliowolf5042]

This video series is amazing!!! Please do more Tactical!

[@FunnehBunnehBob]

This is incredibly well said. I even find myself giving up sometimes but after hearing this, I may try to fight it out with teamwork a bit more :)

[@xzeptMTM]

The last sentence gave me goose bumps.

[@TSkillzX]

Teamwork is about responding to your team, enhancing the team's strengths and covering the team weaknesses- Ciderhelm 2013

[@87raiden]

CIDERHELM Where are You??? I missing your videos so much. You made great videos. What happened to you?

[@andreiroid4357]

They key to succes stands in one word: confidence Knowing that you have such a great lead makes you feel indestructible, but one single mistake will destroy your confidence. Like a lost teamfight after you won 10 or maybe more. So if you want to win more and more games, destroy the enemy`s confidence, make them belive they don`t have any chance to win. Theyr cooperation will drop, they will start loosing theyr focus and eventually they will so mad that they won`t be able to make any comeback

[@JimmyNahlousVisuals]

I love these kinda matches.

[@randomlycarrot]

to me it feels like every 4th game or so has pretty decent teamwork. Believe it or not, but random people on the internet would much rather work together than not. All it takes is for someone to start it up and most people are more than happy to join in. As long as you communicate with your team (without swearing or being negative) other people will join in. Doing something as simple as timing dragons, reminding people it will spawn in x seconds and even trying to coordinate picks in champselect

[@stickman752]

aw i was hopeing he was going to give advice on how to help coordinate with our teammates affectively but this is still good to

[@Exiledtweaker]

This video should go on the league site. motivation overload

[@foxhoundknight]

This is one of the closest games ever! These are the kind of games a summoner only dreams about!

[@poppanaattori89]

The video is just an example of how important teamwork is. A game doesn't have to happen just like in the video for the lesson to apply.

[@Mr3eemo]

hi i'm a diamond player and finely a voice of true has came to notify people about what is right and not to quit after losing first blood or losing baron or something stupid + blaming other if u stick with ur team and hear them out [ swallowing a bit or your pride for ur team ] and have the courtesy to say that u made a mistake not blaming others i guess that is all i want to say love this stuff keep it up !

[@TheJokerscene]

True enough. but in ranked matches, as you progress, you'll meet new people and be able to make friends with them. Eventually you'll find yourself in a custom group where you'll always have the strategy advantage. Ranked matches also provide some of the better players who know these rules, so your 'luck' of getting a good team goes from about 30% to 70%

[@Drazorka]

Can't wait for more tactical episodes

[@TheDiegold]

that ks triple kill in the last fight xD, nice plays dude

[@Quasartist]

Most inspirational thing I've seen in a long time. :') Another good way to improve your games is to use RaidCall. Its Skype, except its built around gaming, and you use an online persona instead of giving strangers access to your personal info. My friends and I have been using it for 2 or 3 weeks now and it is sooooo much better than having to type messages in-game. And its made to not take very high comp specs to run it so even most laptops that can run LoL can run RaidCall at the same time.

[@PoshtaKaTaN]

one of the best videos i have ever seen, on youtube.. i wanna shake your hand.

[@B1SK0]

Give this guy a medal. The game would be a lot more fun with this video on log in screen, people would be reminded of team work. Thumb up from me :D

[@maceisgrace]

True. The mistery of OP-Champions only exists because there are a lot of not-ranked games where the right skills are on the wrong persons in the wrong situations. For examplte Katarina does a lot of dmg when her ultimate isnt stopped very soon. And if she fires it at a fed varus it can be a kill for Kata if every cc-teammate of varus tries to get the enemy adc... But only if u let her.

[@AtricosHU]

Oh my god, You are a genius, Ciderhelm. I noticce this every video you upload, but I'm still surprised how clever you are! :D I feel I must share this video with my friends to win our games much more effectively, because they always give up if we are a little bit behind. :)

[@Timon-IrishFolk]

We need this back... WE NEED IT

[@aljaz124]

you know... this is a realy cool game when u can see teamwork but that can be possible almost only in mid/high elo games... In silver/bronze games (i'm silver 2) most of the players rage, quit etc. but on about 500 games u get a team who cooporate with each other and they don't quit or surrender even if ur loosing very hard... I had one game where we played 4v5 from beginning of the game (Fizz left). We were loosing realy hard but than they started to do mistakes and in 50 min we won.It was cool

[@christophsuster8371]

An extraordinary example of species this vid has been made for!

[@ryanwalton1063]

this is why i always say we can win. its not that Ciderhelms team made game changing plays, (dont get me wrong though, there were some amazing ones in there) it was that the other team got cocky and threw it. No matter how fed the other teams carries are or how bad someone is doing there is always a chance to win. (I won a game where my team had 30 kills and the other team had 75)

[@sycops1]

I think that's pretty much what Cider said. The opposing team failed to work together and their indecisiveness leaves them stuck in bad positions. Meanwhile, Cider's team worked all together and went all in on their strategies. With five people committed they would have more pushing power than a team that is straddling the line on what they actually want to do.

[@TheAlcoholicPigeon]

Five players in one team who all communicate well, stay positive and have an acceptable amount of skill is a rare occurance. There's often 2 people mute the whole match, and a guy who picked ADC but doesn't build AD

[@MMOGood2Go]

Nicely done! I enjoy your videos and this left nothing to be wanted. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@briskmato]

Jarvan and Kassadin = Champions made for retreat and COMEBACKS ! ..and very nice vid dude

[@tuxedobob2]

I (probably) can't afford your book, but I really enjoy these videos.

[@AmzingRotmg]

I was playing with my cousins as a team and our asses were getting whooped and the enemy team got our nexus turret to about 50% hp but then we decided to make one finally push. With this push like you said they made the mistake of coming in alone. When they came alone to defend as when we were on their nexus turrets we manage to ace them because they would respawn at different times making them think they would have to defend alone. We ended up winning that game too. Teamwork is important

[@UberXchaos]

This was actually really inspiring, I could learn a lot from this.

[@kesharabandara4652]

This video gave a lot of confidence to me to do anything! Thank you!

[@LordKenjii]

Well said Ciderhelm. Im looking forward to your videos. Spreading the word of teamwork is the only way to rid ourselves of the divisionhell, (I still call it elohell).

[@bartoszligeza4803]

This was so inspiring :) It has really clear message: never surrender.

[@clarkcamba8163]

Thanks Ciderhelm this is one inspiring video i ever watch!

[@PKToysoldier]

5 People doing a wrong thing often turns out better than the team dividing to do each right option. When playing with random players you will do well to learn to read their intentions and even if it isn't the best call sometimes it will turn out better to make the mistake with them than to let them make it alone.

[@timothylolboy]

Teamwork - Engage - Comeback - Victory is forever.

[@andriuliok]

I love your videos and stuff Cider but i would like to see more of them. My only Complaint about you would be the lack of consistency, most of us don't care about the super top quality we just want a friendly youtuber who we can watch

[@iBeLickingYou]

Watched this vid and thought. "Hell yeah let's play some teamwork lol" Nope. You're sending an awesome message, just more people need to follow it. Keep it up man :)

[@KoopDeGrace]

I really enjoyed this video and I hope there are more like this to come.

[@dylonburton8002]

This was absolutley amazing well done and what a great comeback :)

[@UncleKris17]

This video should play during every pre-game's loading screen

[@BreakOfDawnRemixes]

i love these kind of games
