[@eesamees]

[@Ffoo_ffighter]

And talking fast to get it under 30 min.

[@EVAN-dl6ef]

bro the analyses made me realize how crazy some plays actually are and helped me understand what was going on.

[@denden6316]

It's interesting too on how some people interpret certain plays For example the faker chasedown on ELK in game 4 was shown as a gamble here but another video highlights pings that gave faker the info that it was safe to engage

[@Ben_Poi]

Fav moment has to be noticing Ahri's icon fly backwards in the minimap during the last match. I was so engaged with the fight and thought the ahri TP was gonna seal the deal, but it stopped short, and i immediately turned to see the minimap and a lil rrat of a poppy scurry away from mid. The absolute game sense and presence of mind for Keria to stay mid just a lil bit longer won them the game.

[@RollaRSPS]

I 100% think keria was robbed of MVP, yes faker played insane in 2 games but keria played nearly perfect in all 5.

[@window9213]

@@RollaRSPS Faker was quite literally the entire reason they won games 4 and 5 securing their worlds victory. Yes Keria played really well but nowhere near Fakers play making and decision making.

[@RollaRSPS]

@ eh idk about all that tbh, he made the huge flashy plays that the low elo players can understand sure, but Keria silently won the series. Every game

[@RollaRSPS]

@@window9213 Biggest example is literally game 5, if keria doesn't chase and cancel ahri tp in, she literally gets a triple kill and HARD wins that fight.

[@RollaRSPS]

The issue is we over glaze faker's plays. Like tell me him chasing down ziggs in a long lane as sylas and everyone freaking out wasn't COMPLET glaze. Ziggs wasted satchel charge a silver player will run down a ziggs in the long lane.

[@plebbutter3811]

I still find it crazy how well BLG played out the second last teamfight: - They make their two least important members push up to contest for vision, making Gumayusi walk towards them. - Jarvin gets a last second ult on Gumayusi, who has to Xayah ult to prevent a cc chain follow-up - Knight waits for the ult and charms on the descent to also force out the flash - Knight then ults to bait Zeus into committing on him but uses Zhonya's to prevent any follow up - Bin flashes the Poppy R, jumps over the Poppy E and manages to get cc onto Gumayusi despite the entire team comp being designed to protect him, while Elk dives in at the same time past all the peel. But all of that and it only took the four seconds of the teleport for T1 to completely turn the fight around.

[@mattheww1930]

I think everyone thought in that moment that it was a T1 loss the moment Gumayushi went down. It's I think however the moment Knight missed his charm that T1 saw the opening and went for it, if they were even a second or two more patient, that would've ended very differently. Luckily for T1 they weren't and of course the Goat resurged.

[@tb4076]

@@mattheww1930 Yup. I feel like if knight hadn't stepped up too far in midlane there, then they were in the driver's seat for the next engagement. The game was far from won, but they had the lead then. They could've just backed off or continued chasing after bin's TP was over. But that split second mistake from knight was enough of an opening for a cracked out faker to turn it around. Absolute cinema

[@imhereforyoulord3538]

Everybody knows T1 is the come back king their coordination and team fight prowess makes them win unwinnable fights survive sealed deal deaths and out drafted and resourced they find a way always. That's why the term "Worlds Buff" is existing just get these fuckers to worlds the game is over. That's why other regions even their own regions pay millions to D-Dos them the entire year so they wouldn't be able to practice but it didn't matter.

[@shadowmark2224]

I just wanted to point out something from the Bin Jax Guma kill. When Poppy E'd into him he timed his stun release right just when the poppy was gonna push him back, which let him not get cc'd.

[@crimsonphoenix8907]

all that just for Faker to just say “Fuck you, we win this”

[@SpecialJeffX]

Also gotta point out Oner stacking his passive before going in for the counter engage by Faker. His knockup made it possible for everything else to be layered perfectly. The presence of mind pro players have in tense moments like that is absolutely insane

[@fivefive8192]

After I saw Oner played Viego into perfection in a match vs G2. I'm without a doubt know that Oner can pull it off.

[@giangdang2755]

I broke up with my girlfriend that day, going home feeling depressed as hell. Still, I managed to scramble some of my remaining energy to watch T1 and BLG, and it did not disappoint.

Hey great video! just wanted to point one final play from the GOAT Faker you seem to have missed: After winning the last game Faker gets up from his chair and immediately turns to Oner and Zeus to get a hug in at optimal speed, having learned from past worlds wins that the botlane couple always focus on each other first and therefore turning to them is suboptimal

In 2023, T1 played BLG in Swiss. BO3. They did end up playing all four LPL teams.

[@DarkCyberElf]

They did not, however, ELIMINATE all four LPL teams (as this was impossible in the format unless both they and BLG were 2-2). BLG was the last team they didn't eliminate, and at both 2023 and 2024 MSI were the team they simply couldn't overcome in a Bo5, and unlike JDG had yet to beat in a Bo5 internationally, as they beat BLG in a Bo3 earlier during the EWC this year. As of this year's World Finals, this roster has now personally eliminated 5 different LPL teams on their way to a Championship.

[@jalanit]

What I like about this series was that it was like a UFC Championship Fight by which BLG knocked down T1 to take round 1. T1 then retaliated by knocking down BLG and took round 2. BLG Scoring a takedown on T1 in round 3 and put the ground and pound until the bell rings. Game 4 and both fighters are exhausted, it's a toe-to-toe standup fight leaving both bloodied after the round but T1 edging BLG just a little bit. Round 5 and it all comes to down to pure grit. T1 knocks down BLG in the final seconds and lays down a hammer fist for the finishing strike before the referee stops the fight. T1 defends their title.

[@wanghyeonwoo6191]

Even as a Korean and a hardcore T1 fan, I couldn't help myself but be impressed at how well BLG prepared for the finals. Very happy that T1 and Faker won, but even if BLG won I would have said "well deserved". Very excited to see how far BLG can go next year if they keep the same roster!

[@sebastianodeangelis6558]

I mean... not only you are an awesome strategical player but also an incredible person: the details, the similarities with past games. you really bring passion in this game

[@DarkCyberElf]

11:19 - The reason Guma/Keria decide to go back bot is two-fold. One, they may be trying to mindgame BLG's tempo yet again by guessing that Elk/On are returning top themselves expecting GuKe to laneswap immediately to top after Zeus clears the wave and they lose vision. The other reason could be simpler still: they think that from Level 3 they can play the 2v2 lane out now with access to all three skills now that Kalista's Level 1/2 advantage over Xayah/Renata isn't as prominent. Also, if they do end up matching 2v2 bot, this is better to defend Oner from invades based on where the Kindred mark spawns are likely to be, and this is better to defend Faker from roams because the jungle roam path for Blitzcrank is stronger coming from Blue-Side bot. 17:50 - ON doesn't "perfectly block" anything here, T1 are attempting to zero out the Rakan before Bin can get involved but their CC chain timing is slightly off with Gumayusi' Arrow being late. However, as Keria had just used his Q to soft-trade on Rakan, it's on cooldown during this attempted CC chain so it's unlikely it would have worked anyhow. 20:42 - "I honestly can't tell which is objectively better." Watching this game live, my assessment was that BLG's comp would live and die by whether they could quickly perform a "shock-and-awe" snap-engages on T1, either instantly killing their target or chunking them out before T1's reply. Jarvan was drafted to double-down on locking down Xayah (as he was the only remaining viable jungler who can this, with Vi not doing well into T1's comp) and guaranteeing a forced-Flash if done quickly before T1 can get into position. I thought Jarvan in particular is very risky here because his Cataclysm feeds into the CC chains of Galio/Poppy, and the projectile protection from Xin Zhao ult can also be tricky to play around for Knight/Elk. While there is also entirely too much AP damage on BLG's comp to deal with the Galio pick in an even gamestate, and while Knight would have liked to go Sylas to gain access to T1's strong ults, there is too much disruption on T1's comp so BLG opted to provide their comp with more pick-potential, a drafting decision T1 made during the TES series which was used to safely punish their frontline repeatedly. T1's comp is perhaps objectively better because it likely for BLG to overextend in teamfights trying to kill the Xayah as they lack the tankiness to absorb the AoE from T1 even if they succeed. In an even gamestate, it comes down to exploiting vision pockets to achieve numbers or HP advantages before objective fights for BLG, and for T1 it comes down to their choice whether to defend Xayah at all costs or counter-dive BLG and use their superior topside champion matchups to punish clumping. The reason why T1's 3v4 turnaround on BLG works is because 23:44 Knight's Charm-Flash is pixels away from hitting Oner and despite it not hitting BLG decide to continue chasing in order to strafe through mid to Baron. Faker takes advantage of the smallest window of a Flashless Knight overextending before Bin's arrival. Each of Faker's subsequent Galio E's hit Elk, the last at max range at the exact moment Elk tries to fit in an orbwalked auto. Friendly PSA: The word "doven" in English is not any existing conjugated form of the word "dove", so the context in which you're using it makes it grammatically incorrect.

[@danielkang1560]

yeah game 5 blg comp is all trying to run into t1 and all of t1's champ WANT that to happen, blg is forced to engage onto xayah gragas galio where they can fully utilize their kits and punish them.

Just before the Sylas play with Rakan ult at 18:30 you can see first Faker starts recalling, then he stops, waits a while and then goes for the play. We will have to wait for the coms but just like his Azir engage vs JDG last year he calls the play 1 min before. Great analysis!

[@shanefoster2132]

My favorite moment was after the opening ceremony when they had the player cinematic. They talk about all those feelings and pressures of competing in the final, and they asked "Where do you go to find the light?" Then they played supportive messages from the competitor's family, friends, and fans. Perfection, right in the feels.

[@Proud-in-Ukrainian]

Knew that Elk sent in hawkshot but I thought it was after it had reached Faker he fired the arrow. The fact he not only hit it blind but also went for the "shadow shuriken jutsu" makes it so much better. Still, the most favorite play is nonetheless Faker's Rakan ultimate flank. Simply gorgeous. Unfortunately, I'mbad at League, so I would never get most of the macro decisions you so insightfully broke down here. I only wish I could watch these finals with your eyes.

[@PkDgShikamon]

14:01 likely story, keria

[@raphaelcheng2254]

Its interesting that you thought that the game 5 draft was even. I thought it was insanely T1 favored. BLG is all about engage and T1 is all about counter engage. First pick Jax getting countered by gragas galio, picking Ahri into a bunch of tanky champions, Rell having an awful time vs the T1 comp, Xayah being an insane pick because of her ult being so good as a safety tool. Like I think if you are building liandries on ahri, you probably picked the wrong champion. Imagine playing T1's draft into Hwei or Asol. It woud be so unplayable. I get they're picking comfort, but I still think you gotta make sure your team comp doesn't have an insane weakness to counter engage.

[@ethantenorio6014]

Fakers performances in games 4-5 was like Lebron in 2013 against Boston in Game 6 of the ECF down 3-2. He was not letting his team lose. That was the craziest stuff I've ever seen and we've seen alot of crazy Faker moments. He was playing like a man possessed.

[@velvet287]

24:02 I believe Knight doesn't have ult here. He used all the dashes on Guma, the ult icon is still lit up either because spectator error or because ult timer starts after ult period is over.

[@DarkCyberElf]

The ult timer icon is still lit up as well as the dash indicators are above his champion because it is still possible for him to gain charges during that time. But yes, you are correct, he has no charges to use.

[@Rayden440]

Yep, that was just very stupid positioning by knight after missing the flash+charm. No reason to be melee range with no movement or cc ability left

[@Tijmen90C]

16:48 It's not really that big a gamble - I think it's just a read off Elk's posturing. When Faker walked up while waiting in between last hitting under tower, Elk instantly Ws away. Every single move from that point onwards is body language that says 'I'm caught'. It COULD of course have been bait, but I think the body language is what motivates Faker to make his play

After watching both teams struggle throughout the year to get to this point I got to see them both playing at the highest level. There were so many moments of intelligence as well as mechanical brilliance it was an absolute treat to watch. One of my favourite points that Poly didn't touch on was the drafting. The way that BLG drafted was the best I've seen anyone ever draft against this version of T1. The only flex pick they walked into the entire series was a Poppy. Admittedly, they had to give Keria Renata every time he wanted it to make it possible but together with the Varus bans they managed to prevent Keria counterpicks from ever becoming an issue and at the same time outdrafting on top side in most games. Also none of Zeus' more unorthodox picks ever got an angle, unfortunately that's relatively easy to prevent in a laneswap meta. In another timeline we would have gotten a showdown for the ages between Bin and Zeus, who both played extraordinary but were held back by being on the receiving end of punishment resulting from laneswaps.

[@TheTduabna]

The 3 v 4 turnaround onto Knight was my favorite play of Worlds. That saved the game for T1

20:38 Poppypuff confirmed?!?!?!

[@KagamineNachy]

I do sincerely believe that poppy ult last game was THE mvp of that game

[@Zelphyn]

Huge Respect to BLG though, they're not just all talk, they're a very formidable team and gave us an amazing finals.

[@sarmonnimuras4138]

tbh the fact that Guma died from the same cheese twice in a row actually surpised me and made me second guess myself

[@icanfinallychangemyname]

This is a long shot but in the T1 GenG game where they 3 man dove Zeus's Gragas with Skarner, ziggs, and leona, can someone explain how skarner took tower aggro? I don't see what he did to draw it

[@Polypuff]

I'm honestly not sure either, I was gonna make a video about that series so I'll look into it soon

[@Ffoo_ffighter]

Burn from red buff or something??

[@codino97]

good video, just a quick note, it was t1 vs the lpl not because of semis, but it was dubbed during quarters since t1 vs lng was the last game of quarters and at the time the 5 teams in the competition were t1 and the 4 lpl teams, eventually they beat lng and then it was t1 vs the 3 you mentioned. Also t1 beat blg in worlds 2023 in swiss 2-0 in a bo3

[@AuroraTheFirstLight]

When i saw Smolder I stopped believing for a second it took luck and all of Faker skill to win with thaf draft there was no engage in the side of T1

[@vinogr00nko93]

honestly BLG deserve a lot of credit for that Game 5 teamfight, they were HARD outdrafted and yet they managed to find the only possible angle on Guma and get him despite all odds T1's comp was all about Guma having 4 bodyguards and yet BLG managed to avoid all 4 of them they found a timing when Faker wasn't close enough to ult and had to TP, they all-inned Guma and forced his Ult+Flash leaving just cleanse left, Oner went on ON and with just Keria and Zeus left, Knight ulted in and instatnly Zhonyad, baiting in Zeus to engage on him leaving Guma alone, Bin perfectly flashed Keria's ult and jumped on Guma allowing Elk to go in genuinly impressive they managed to break through T1's defense, luckily for T1 they just had an amazing draft and Faker's engage on Knight was so clutch

[@CCLethe]

They drafted comfort but no early game dmg, Jax and Kaisa needed time to scale and Elk reaction was a little 💀 (he did very well series wise though)

[@tb4076]

@@CCLethe I think that was exactly what the jarvan was for (in theory) but it didn't look good at all.

[@crudojoshuaricofort8795]

​@@CCLethe t1 baited them to draft bin's jax, BLG thought T1 had no answer to it but t1 draft was a perfect neutralizer to that jax. Bin did nothing that game, and considering how overhyped his jax was, it did not deliver

[@heartshxn]

polypuff should be at the next worlds.

[@2REMO]

6:36 wasnt it more that he would have died if he canceled the tp?

[@braynergabriel6282]

This final was wild.

[@ramadumpy]

i love how u explained the macro like zeus faking to help bot dive and avoiding vision to go top lane

[@danielliang9266]

13:21 Faker limit testing even for 1 cs. Also, the timing has to be right after the E hits to get it. 16:58 Faker knows that they reset because Elk used his W the moment Faker walked up and faked pressure. It's just full on mindgames from Faker Just finished watching. Really love this type of content from you, your touch of editing tickles my brain just right

[@oliversotir3914]

Excellent analysis, I´ll go ahead and subscribe for more

[@raizors1331]

8:30 well, the only difference between a play and an int is whether or not you make the other team confused enough to not punish you immediately, and, as the consequence, whether or not you success.
