2026 LCK Game VOD

Cut by [music] >> tomorrow. >> Wait, did maybe he forgot that he has a job. [laughter] >> Well, maybe he was too busy doing his job somewhere else. That might have been it. Sorry, Valdez. I'm sure you're in the chat, right? You're you're in the chat hanging out with all of us while we uh are enjoying some KT versus Bro. That's what I would assume as Let's get into the draft here for game number two. KT very good at winning game number ones where they pick up Noctturn and Rise not going to be able to do that again and let's see what they are going to put together for themselves as Hanjin Bion find themselves in possession of first pick this time yeah was KT with that last time uh and I think honestly Han Bon's bands were pretty limited as a result you know they ban Casio Pierre Oriana and Vi which are just like the most standard bands that we have right now whereas a bit more flexibility offered to KT when they had the first pick position. We've kind of seen the reverse of that now. A lot of homework have to be done by second pick and this is not something unique to this meta. We've seen that a lot in the LCK. Oh yeah. Uh haven't seen Valdez though in chat, so that's a bit of a shame. Um but maybe I missed it. You never know. Uh Casio, [music] let's see whether the Oriana will be banned next. I assume Casio ori Vi will be our blue side bands or our uh second pick bands uh that are going to be coming on in here as the Ezreal is going to be taken away one more time. Ezreal, Lein, and Syndra were banned by KT when they had first pick. Uh similar look here, but the Pantheon has already taken the place of one of those as Caitlyn will be taken away now. Yeah, Hamway has some of the options there for Teddy. We've seen a lot of priority on these bot lane pairings. Lucian Millio, Kalembbard, Ezil, Karma, and I think denying uh access to them is pretty big. The thing was interesting to me is the Ezil ban from Bro, I feel like they maybe could have pri prioritized that as a first pick for Teddy. We've seen it having a lot of priority recently. So, definitely an interesting one. Bay Oriana still open and available. >> Yeah. >> And they're going to ban Gallo instead here. We've seen Gallo generally be be successful, but also have a lot of priority into lock specifically. >> Okay. And see what wants to go with this. I >> don't think it's necessarily going to be a first pick lock, but maybe setting up for that. We know the build uh with the MI into mandate very strong, but uh with Oriana being banned by KT V is just pretty obvious here. Yep, pretty comfortable first pick here for the Bros. as Yunar Lulu likely to be the answer here for Ju and effort. >> Big confidence pick up here and specifically into Vi. This is a pick that we often saw band away when you wanted to prioritize Yinara because it does a good job of holding her accountable. So, we'll see what Hanjin Brio want to combo with this Rumble Arri. This is a trio that we've seen be more popular uh a bit more popular recently in the LCK, but also very popular in the LPL is like V Rumble Ari. So if they want to go for that, I think it makes complete sense in terms of shutting down a hyper carry. We'll see if we get the coming in here from Roma. >> Yeah, could certainly do that. Synra also works in a very similar way except you have a little bit less mobility. Uh but [music] I do like the keep away that you can play there as well. Instead, he is going to be heading your direction so that Ahri will be locked in. >> Now the question is what are you going to pick here from KT Fury? That is definitely an option you can go for. But maybe if you want to match mid now, >> yeah, >> take the opportunity to do so. You know, the Syndra was hovered. There's [music] also things like the Aurora Annie is an option, too. >> And we'll see what [music] they go for. But it is just going to be that Nefury. You mentioned one of the matchups because originally a counter to Vi. We saw Nefury coming into the meta in that way. Y >> and then uh now it's just picked generally, but still has that good matchup be able to dodge away from so much [music] of what Gideon wants to do. And now the bands come in. So >> double bot lane bands under Teddy and Nam going is a little bit scary here. I think if you are a bro fan, they have locked down a very strong top side of the map, but someone has to pay the price. So Teddy's very powerful. Corki is going to be [music] taken away. I think it's he's still undefeated on this like six and zero so far this season, which is kind of unheard of. The Casante going to be taken away here as they can protect [music] this Rumble pick towards the top side. I like Kaiser could go well with this bro composition. [music] I feel like we've seen, you know, Teddy Zia be fantastic. Saraphene as might be a bit risky with Nefar Bount. You don't know the solo laners, but I think there's just a lot of options still for Teddy and Nangu. I don't think they have to be too worried and they will take away Teddy's Zia. just feels like there are so many options for the bot lane that like let's specifically [music] target Teddy's top picks right now which I feel like are that Corki and Zia taking [music] off the cards but still a lot of options available for him. >> Yeah, Kalista Renado is still up as well. We've seen that combo find a bit of success here asandra >> I think that's a good ban actually you know a good [music] match up into Ahri and something with the mandate rush the two item spike is so quick and so powerful. horn. All right, bit of a classic and will give this KT composition so much longevity. Playing for the late game looks to be the aim of the game here for the roller coasters as there is that Kalista that I was talking about before likely to just be slammed here as Kalista Renard would give them a lot of power where they want it. Right. >> Obviously, if they're not able to win the game, uh then it's likely that KT will be able to find a lot of options. But there is that Ranata lock in Nong just teasing us with a potential Camille, but they do decide to head over towards the Ranata afterwards. And so now what is BDD going to be playing and how can they sort of bridge this composition into a late game and the Syndra might be able to do that? I think Cyn makes sense. BDD is phenomenal on this pick. It makes Teddy's life really difficult. Especially like you may think, oh well, he can be bail out. You can use the bailout on him, but if you get scatter of the weekend into alted, you're not going to have any opportunity to really get a reset. I think KT have a lot of tools to make Teddy's life difficult and a lot of scaling elements in the composition. The one makes sense as well as a momentum killer. This composition for Hanjin Bion is all about momentum. A lot of these picks quite feast of famine. You want to crush the bot lane 2v2 in a fight. You want that initial momentum where you can get the resets from the AI and just push forward in the fight. I think it's a good comp from Hanjin Bion, but we saw last game even though they made some good decisions, the team fighting just wasn't quite there. And it was because Teddy was on a short range pick and there were a lot of challenges for it, which I think is still true here. But at least there's I feel like more offered by his [music] teammates with the AI in the Rumble here. >> Not to mention, I think Ror is going to be punished less for his team by positioning on the AI. you can sort of just skirt around, try and get yourself those resets and get yourself into the game. So, I think that this composition looks pretty robust for the bros, but I love it when teams pick comps that have very different like uh win conditions and win windows here in this game, right? KT want to be playing for that late game fronttoback team fights utilizing their very strong front line in the and the Lulu there with that wild growth in order to create havoc in these team fights. Polymorph can be very very dangerous as well. Meanwhile, this comp from the bros just does so much damage in the mid game. It might be just too much for KT to deal with. Let's get into it. All right, here we are, ladies and gentlemen, on the rift for game number two. Seeing whether the Bros can even out the series, whether KT are going to find a win as the Bros do not find the on. He decides to go back home. Perfect is going to be meandering up towards that top lane, try and catch up to these minions. He's casting already there deciding to make a bit of money off this on here in the laning phase. that first strike. I think for me, this has been the best strategy for Rumble is the first strike into the tanks and you just generate a ton of gold. You're ahead of the curve, you can get your high value items. We've also seen the death fire uh touch and it's just I feel like a lot of times just you don't get enough pressure for it to be really worth it. >> Yeah, I would agree. Just find yourself a few extra items and get the extra power that way might be the way to make it work as G1 effort able to step up in this lane. I feel like Yara really has just been laning better here in the LCK more recently. >> Honestly, there were some moments as well, even early when Yinara came out, that teams disrespected her and ended up paying for it. It's so much about that passive, having that stacked up, having wave access. So now they've got control and G keeps the passive stacked up. It's actually really hard, especially with a Lulu as well. Ranata is so often that that auto attack trader who has the passive, you both auto summon, there's a burst of damage. Lulu doesn't even need that. She just autos you and throws a middle. She's going to bully you out of the lane. >> That's exactly what's happening right now. See already Teddy and Nom going on the back back foot well and truly. >> I think honestly if they shove this wave in, they could go for a reset maybe to buy a cull and feel really good about the position of the wave. >> It is looking likely this point in the game as Roma taking a lot of damage. Great charm is going to connect onto BD who does take a turret shot. It's going to somewhat even out this trade, but Ror is well and truly taking the pressure here in this lane. >> Tough going up against BDD on this Cindra. He's so good on this pick and he can often just bully out the R if you're connecting all the skill shots and casting hanging out here towards his top side just dealing with Perfect who has pushed this lane in so far. >> I think KT pretty happy with how things are playing out in these early levels. See a few first picks here as Teddy and Namong haven't actually played this combo just yet in the LCK. Of course, if you've been a Teddy fan for a while, you know that he is wellversed on the Kalista, but you really do need to see whether he's found uh some positive performances more recently. I can say that uh his last solo Q game was on Kalista and he lost. >> Oh. >> Um so there's that. >> Well, hoping to redeem himself. [laughter] >> Yeah. um you know never end the night on a loss. So maybe this counts as last night which is I think when his last solo Q game was uh on that particular account as we don't necessarily know how many accounts these guys are playing on. That is just the only known one that I have access to. Good trades again from KT and I feel like Teddy and N really want to push this wave in and get a restart off themselves. They're just kind of being pressured out. effort with the glitterances just making Teddy really pay for this. >> Yeah, this is getting real difficult as Teddy is just going to leave. Going to make his way back in again. A little bit more power. Might be able to find himself some shoes or something like that. But I don't think Berserkers are coming in just yet. It's a little bit too early for that one. >> So the important thing for KT is that you just be really cautious about investing into skirmishes in the bot side specifically because that's really where Cluster Rata shines. Yes, the laning is very strong. Yes, you can pull out a lane. That's not obviously happening so far this game, but if you get into a fight in the jungle, so easily could see Bro just taking over the game from there. So, your lane's doing well. Isn't any huge pressure on KT to speed things up. >> Yep. Just uh cool, calm, collected is going to be the aim of the game. And sometimes that has been where KT have struggled um which is saying no to the voices. Uh so far definitely so good though here in this series as BDD sets up that scatter to uh deny the back from Roma. Looks like he's just going to be able to take this wave and look to head on home. Still taking so much damage here. Good charm actually manages to get the CS and I think that Roma is just going to try and channel that back once again. And as we can see here he does. >> So do get the pickaxe picked up by Teddy. Not going for the early boots that we often see. Yeah, it's just probably the amount of money that he had and does feel a little bit better to have that bit of extra AD as Ju taking some damage here. Finally, Ro finding themselves some okay trades here in this lane as equalizer just going to wipe out the wave, give Casting that very comfortable reset. It's definitely been a slower jungle series so far. Uh Gideon C kind of just prioritizing farm in the early levels, not actively looking for too much. which obviously game one there was a knockturn. There's a Javan on the other side here as well. I think it makes sense for KT to slow the pace of the game down and we all know bro and brew is a classic. >> Oh going to be taking a bit of damage here but no vault breaker to connect as Gideon is going to get poisoned. Looks like he will be able to get control of this Rift Scutler though. I >> think it's just so hard to really hold an Afury accountable. The the leap is so large so many so much terrain that you can get over. Bro though almost kind of asking uh KT to challenge them. Big thing is because Gideon picked up the scuttle. He's now hit level six. Has that alult available cuz is not there. >> Yeah, >> does match the upgraded smite. Importantly though, he can try and go for a steal here. >> Not going to be able to get good moves from bro. And I think that the confidence to go for the dragon and they would have been ready to take a fight. As I said, Cluster and super good in their skirmishes. The fact that Gideon got the level six first, everything was stacked in Bro's favor. So I think the right read from KT to kind of just maybe fish for a steal but not really commit to anything. >> Not doing it just yet as we have a slight gold lead for G but that is just because he picked up a cult and that is giving him a bit of extra money as perfect taking a lot here from Casting who just silences himself and goes to town on this on very nicely done so far from this Rumble player and moves up to about a 300 gold lead. the only lead for the Bros on the map, but it has been able to equalize the gold between the two teams quite comfortably as we can see here. I do feel a little bit worried though uh if the game is just this even and this comfortable then KT are just going to be very very happy scaling on up over and over again and the Bros, they're the ones that are going to have to put their feet on the accelerator a little bit earlier. I will say maybe I'm getting nervous because it's just not quite at that time yet and I shouldn't be nervous. I think it's okay. I think Bro have a lot of team fighting power. So, as long as they're not behind, I think it's still fine uh when we get to those bigger team fights. And I think a big thing is cuz they got the early dragon very early, it pushes it puts pressure on KT. Um if the soul definitely is impactful one, it'll force KT to fight sooner rather than later for that third dragon. >> We get a swap coming in from KT. last game it was Teddy who made the swap to to kind of great effect picking up some farm here. I think that's one thing with the uh roll quests is that obviously swapping like this is going to take a dent on the bot lane roll quest, but you don't actually get that much gold extra from minions. So, if you're a little late on it, it's not a huge deal. The main thing is that you don't have access to that big chunk of gold you get immediately. But as long as you don't fight when Teddy has that gold and complete an item, it's not too much of an issue. So I think making this swap here to get some pressure down in the top lane does allow Bro here to get some damage in the towers. But it's three grubs for cause Gideon zero grubs in this series. >> At least the bros managed to take the first dragon this time. So they equalized the neutral objectives. But like you were saying, Gideon very upset about that. He's Gideon Grubs for a reason. Still two plates do go over to the bros here towards his bottom side. And that has largely equalized the gold advantage that Gio had picked up earlier on. This huge stack of minions. They might even be able to get to a third one, but not going to happen. And Ju is able to pick up a lot of these. Will be able to reclaim that CS lead as N going to get discovered here by Ju. for his circle in just to make sure that he knows what's going on. >> Both junglers around the bot side of the map if anything's going to break out, but definitely a different vibe than last game, but there was a Noctturn who's that console looming threat. Roma is would you believe roaming. >> Oh, has found Cuz though, and probably does not want to tango with the Nefari >> and we've got another Rome as well as there's a great knock up onto Casting. The ram comes down, grabs the knockup onto the uh Rumble again as now Casting realizes that he's very very dead. First blood goes over to BDD and he's going to immediately teleport back to this mid lane to pick up the wave. >> Crazy BDD is laning against a guy called Roma and he has been the one making the moves in the laning phase. Both games so far making a massive impact in the side lanes. >> And I think I would say that it's more difficult to roam on a Synra than it is on the AI. >> Absolutely. You know, post six, Arift often fishing, and we even saw Roma trying to make a move down towards bot lane, but BDD is the one who finds the perfect timing, able to pick up his kill on the Rumble. >> I see what you mean there about perfect timing cuz Perfect was there in the top lane and it was his timing to go up and assist Perfect. Thus, perfect timing. That's beautiful. >> You know what that is? That's perfect casting. >> Oh, perfect casting indeed. Ox, that's the top lane. And you all right, let's have a look at it again. The perfect casting of the perfect timing from BDD. >> Yeah, I mean Cassing just knows he's dead as a fact. Perfect gets behind him and even like bumps him back a little bit. He was dead dead. So doesn't anything apart from trying to clear the wave out, uses equalizer, saves his flash. >> And in terms of his lane matchup doesn't really make that much of a difference, but giving gold over to BDD is going to feel b. Yes, I think that is certainly uh not a good time as Teddy just seeing where Gio and Effort are going and the Bros really struggling to find some momentum. I think it's the tempo vibes that they've just not been able to claim and I think they're what the Broax really pays for. >> Yes, I was going to say if we can always find a culprit and it is Broax. >> Yeah. Uh if it's not sufficient, they are going to struggle. >> Look at this. You can tell Cuz to leave by leaving enough Broax in the chat and then he'll back away right now. I'm seeing that uh this this Doggo is still hungry for some mechal as BDD does get this wave shoved in. And man, it really just feels like KT have more members on the map right now. It's a good time to cross. You look at Teddy already picked up the bot lane roll quest. He has that static shiv completed. Equalizer came down to try and catch the wave, but it didn't even really hit. >> Yeah. So, Grubs in pocket. Ju has three stacks left on the call. Doesn't have an item completed. Doesn't have his roll quest completed. This is a great time for a swap. And even though you do lose that first tower, not having to play into the cla with the static shiv is a definite boon. Uh, so second dragon does get picked up from bro. They are continuing the pace on those, but I think KT making the right reads in this game in terms of where they want to be. >> Yeah, still the Bros are able to put themselves together a bit of an advantage. And it's another infernal soul. Uh with the Bros now having a couple picked up already for some angles here, but I I just I'm not going to trust anything until we see our first team fight. And KT were team fighting beautifully in game number one. If that continues with a composition like this, could be very very difficult for the Bros. Unless the bros have put the time and effort into figuring out how this comp is going to work. And it's about now that they're starting to get very very powerful as the ram just going to try and clear out this wave. Teddy just bouncing on over towards perfect here. Nice knock up. >> Yeah, good work there. >> It's such a satisfying noise when the he just brittleles all of the minions and you see that constantly. >> What is the most satisfying noise in League of Legend? >> Hard still. >> Do you think so? Yeah, I still feel like it's probably Jack hitting a turret. >> That's pretty good, too. But just hard steel so much when you hear it like ticking off and then you get the big >> Oh, it's beautiful. One item. >> You have been a bit of a hard steel enjoyer for many many years. Have you not? >> Yeah. Just I remember when it first came out and before it got nerfed in a obviously that was before Aam Mayhem and it was just it just ran every game. Everyone had one. you'd have like 3,000 stacks a better time in >> Yeah, it's beautiful. Maybe hard steel will make its way over to classic soon in its uh unnerfed form. >> That's the thing. Are we just adding more items a lot in classic? >> You just basically find anything that was ever broken at some point. You just put it in classic. I think that's just that's got to be the way to do it. >> I think the point to add things like Gorrinker or Gale Force in the classic. I'm like, okay, this this this is feeling like last week. >> Yeah. If Gale Force makes it in, I'm going to have a big problem with that. That's a new That's still a new item even if it has been discontinued. >> Twin shadows though. That is >> hard come out after Gale Force. >> I think it might have been a similar time. You might be right though actually. H well. >> Uh we get the malignance coming in for Roma. Big spike for the Ahri. Definitely a lot of power there. Yeah, >> trying to set up on this mid tower and it's only Teddy to defend which is a bit uncomfortable. Supports moving in, but a lot of plates get taken down. Cuz is in a little bit of trouble here, but they will be able to take those plates off the table and KT really making use of these three grubs. Feel like that has been uh certainly capitalized on here, you could say by KT. >> Yeah, I'd agree. Dragon in a minute 45 and it's third potentially for Bro. Remember KT were the ones who got soul last game and it was also an infernal soul. So thinking about how to approach this fight. I think a big factor is Roma with the malignance. If you can get resets, a lot of power. What's really nice this game is that perfect having the uh what's it called again? Kuken. That's the one. Huge value into Roma and casting. The only thing he has to really be concerned about is if Teddy starts freehitting him. So, looks like we're getting started a little bit early before that dragon's up as KT looked for this Herald. >> Oh, Roma is roaming. Looking for a bit of an angle here. He's on a pretty good flank, but the scatter catches him. Has to get himself out of their great charm. HE'S GOING TO CATCH CAR AS THEY just take the Rift Herald from under the noses of KT and Perfect is just backing away. The Sentinel just gets thrown at Roma. Um, but KT are not going to be able to continue this fight. And now the Bros have a Rift Herald to help them get this dragon. Really well played there by Roma. Even after he gets hit with the stun, able to disengage. The one concern though is his ult is now down. It's ticking fastly. He has level 11 already passed. He has malignance, but they do need that alt available for the dragon and it's 30 seconds away, but it looks like the setup's not coming through yet from KT. They went for resets. I think he's going to be fine on that account. And they kind of get away free, but BDD is fishing. Oh, if Roma dies, then that'll be worse than the alult being on cool down. I think it's okay. Just the the M treads. Um, even with the nerves they caught recently, minus 5 magic resist, the shield plus the tnasty just makes it a bit hard for BD to really threaten them all in there. Now, the contest comes in for Mid Pryo. TP in from both solo laners of KT trying to respond and stop them from getting a chance to throw down the Herald mid that is still in the pocket of Gideon. And now it's KT with control of the area. and Bro who have to push in. >> 3 seconds on Roma's ulti as well. That spirit rush will be up and available now as Slurals come down. Namong gets caught by the scatter. The bros still in a lot of control. The Rift Herald going to come on through here. And now KT going to have to come back and try and defend mid as Perfect just trying to be that front line. It's working out so far, but he's just getting slammed into the walls over and over again. And look at this. Their front line is a front line no more. Yeah, remember they TPD perfect into this fight. So he can't recall, heal up, and come back again. Teddy getting some good damage down there. And honestly, his pierces, the QES have been connecting on a good target. >> Chunking out Ju before as well. Now, if we get the Ren stacked up on the dragon, it's almost impossible to steal. >> Well, now the ram is going to come through. There is that secured by Teddy. They take down the jungler, BUT HE'S ALREADY DONE HIS JOB. EQUALIZER FANTASTIC, BUT PERFECT. MANAGES TO FLASH HIS WAY OUT. GREAT SCATTER HERE FROM BDD AS CASTING GETS THE POWER UNLEASHED UPON HIM. C'S IN A LITTLE BIT OF TROUBLE. BUT THERE IS TEDDY WITH THAT BAILOUT. CAN HE LOCK DOWN JU? HE DOES MANAGE TO GET HIM, BUT HE'S ELIMINATED IMMEDIATELY. AND KT, THEY STILL HAVE THEIR MAIN CARRY AS BDD. He gets charmed. HE IS CHARMING, BUT HE'S got Cuz there with the daggers to take down the Ahri. And that's the ace for KT. >> Ro get the dragon, but the target selection is so good from KT. Gideon just doesn't get to play the game. He dashes forward to help secure the dragon. The CC from Perfect is layered. Vi is out the fight. Even though we get this massive combo of ults, perfect is the one soaking the damage. And now there's the freedom to move forward. Casting with no heat is not a threat. This dive in into Wild Shots down Teddy. And even though he trades his life for Jiru also, one more moment. I think Roma auto attacks the dog instead of the blast CONE HERE. OH NO, HE DOES. So he wasn't able to escape cone. Very unfortunate, but I think just beautiful execution from KT. The usage of Perfect health bar as a resource, the setup on a Gideon, the re-engage. G was aggression. Even though he traded one for one, he shut down Teddy, which was key in allowing them to push forward. And now Gro may have three dragons, but it's not four. And they're 2,500 gold down against a team with an on and a Yara Lulu. >> Yeah, this is the problem. these ornaments are going to start coming in and that is going to mean that that gold lead actually means a whole lot more than what we're seeing represented. And it's kind of crazy that perfect went down so incredibly low. Took so much abuse in that fight. Didn't actually die. Is ahead in farm and ahead in money by just a little bit. And that's crazy because there's a first strike on Casting. The whole sort of uh point was to make money and unfortunately hasn't been able to do do so. sitting at 020 on this Rumble yet to really find value here in this game. >> I mean, that's the thing when you play Rumble into a tank, you need to get ahead of the curve. You need to get more items. You need to be ahead in gold and then just be that super strong Rumble. The benefit you get is you're getting a free lane. You can farm fair strike off. And then you come into this point of the game and you hopefully get two items and really strong. Instead, you're on par with the orn, but the has upgraded that Kane and has better economy items, cheap items that give a lot of power. And so, you're just not going to feel as useful from this point onwards. The or is going to continue to add value to KT for the rest of the game. And speaking of value, BD 30 and three now has his dash cannon and blackfire torch completed. And K is actually in a bit of trouble here. Not actually going to press the unarget ability button. does finally do so. But the Wild Growth comes in. Charm is fantastic and Ror is able to shut down the jungler. This could be a big deal as Baron did just come onto the map. It looks like the bros going to look for some more picks before they do anything else. The equalizer goes down with perfect dead. They might be able to find an angle as the ram is going to get called, but he is still going to get taken out. Another Chandelier on top and the bro pick machine has finally come online as Oh dear, that's a lot of damage onto Gideon. does get shielded up. >> Oh my lord. >> Yeah, BD just does so much damage. There's the handshake from Nam going. I don't know whether anyone is brave enough to do anything about this. THERE WAS ANOTHER SCATTER IS FANTASTIC. G DIVES IN BUT IMMEDIATELY TAKES DOWN THE HOSTILE TAKEOVER IS SO INCREDIBLY GOOD. AND THAT IS GOING TO BE THE ACE BECAUSE K HAS ONLY JUST RESPAWNED. >> Beautiful play from bro. Just pick after pick and then an overstep from KT cost them. They disrespect Namun and he makes them pay for it now. Looking for the Baron. The TP comes in from the Ari just to zone C away. Soul is nearly up as well. They can reset off this baron and set up for that. A devastating mistake for KT. >> Absolutely incredible stuff for the Bros though being able to find it right on the tail end of this mid game. And I almost said a trademarked comment as well as it was a damn well hostile hostile takeover. This was just a great series of picks from the Bros. >> I feel like when you're playing picks like Nefiri or who are very tanky, has a dash, Nefairy very mobile, you have this presumed sense of safety. It's kind of like we've seen a lot of our Ezreals dying around mid lane and I think they just disrespect the opponents. The pick potential, the chase down potential for this comp is extreme. Able to get those two kills and then this is the big turning point. They try and commit on to Gideon. He just gets out. Teddy steps up, knows he has the safety at the RNA. And there's even this polymorph stun that looked like he could doom them, but the bailout's there. We see the VI come back in. Gideon choosing the perfect moment to punish. And Namun's hostile takeover finds everything it needs now though. The setup is here for this soul. KT trying to push in and get control. >> Control hanging around the edge. Feels like they're being pushed off a little bit, but auto brush control going over to Bro and it's them with the gold lead now. >> Hostile takeover is not quite available just yet. Namong still waiting for it. I think KT well aware they have all of their ultimates at the ready. All of their flashes also up and available. Roma doesn't have his. Gideon doesn't have his. Teddy thankfully has his flash up but not the barrier can actually do here. >> Take over in five and Teddy starting to stack the rens on the dragon. KT need to do something soon. >> Well, let's see what they're actually going to go for here as Perfect trying to stay in that front line. There's a great scatter onto Roma off to the side. There's the seasoned assist. THE EQUALIZER GOES DOWN THERE AS WELL AS GIDEON THIS TIME IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO MAKE HIS WAY OUT. G IS JUST FIGHTING SOMEBODY ELSE AS THE INFERNAL SOUL COMES IN FOR THE BROS. FREAKER ON PERFECT. THEY'LL TAKE DOWN THE TANK. AND THIS TIME THE BROS FIND THE TEAM FIGHT THEY'RE looking for. Oh, Gideon fishing. Won't find more. But he was the superhero in that fight. Did he get a kill? No, didn't need to. But he shot down Jiu and stopped him from being able to do anything. Just bought time. And then the back end they clear up perfect. But the soul is secured. That's the main thing here. >> Oh, and now Elder is on the map in 5 1/2 minutes. >> So, the ult comes out from Perfect. And basically at the same time, Gideon flies in, grabs Jiru. Ju has to flash away from the charm and Gideon just leaves. He's like, "Look, we got the dragon low enough. We can get the soul and leave." He does find his way to pick up Perfect on the back end. But the main thing was that he stopped the backline of KT from doing anything. He stopped Jiu from playing the game. BDD had to respond to the threat and he's able to disengage again. It didn't matter that he didn't kill Jiu. That Roma didn't wasn't able to finish him off. It bought time. They got the soul and they got out. Really nicely played by the Bros. And Gio almost like actually hard his health bar with just that hostile takeover that came in. So really nicely played by the Bros. It split up the team fight completely. And now with this infernal soul, Bros find themselves with a whole lot more power here in this game. It's going to be doing a lot of work as well as the fact that they have a lot of ability to make use of it with a composition like this that just does so much damage just in general >> and infernal will help them have some more longevity here in this game. >> Such an explosive composition and they've been pil piloting it really well. It's Elder in 4 minutes 20 baron in 2 minute 30. Big objectives that KT has to have in mind and I just feel like they're not in that great of a position right now. The ornaments have started to come out, but not that many so far. Gu's items looking a bit dismal. You have the core, but not the IE, the last visor item. Okay, IE picked up now, but still lacking that extra pen. Whereas Teddy, he's able to invest in tankiness. He's doing enough damage, the buff Terminus as well. Yeah, >> that was uh made stronger not too long ago in his hands. >> He's also almost got that jack show done as well. So, like you were saying, extra tankiness. I mean, when you have a Ranatada with you as well, that tankiness makes you so hard to deal with. And we've seen that when he just starts stacking up the Rens, it doesn't even take that many auto attacks before he's able to get the reset and bring him back after being taken down in the bailout. >> Yeah, not to mention if you fight anywhere near a minion wave. Uh it can just be really, really difficult to deal with this Kalista. >> And it's actually so annoying when a Kalista is sieging now with a static shift. >> They just chains through the minions. uh you end up getting stacks onto you as well and so Teddy can rend and even just damage you off the back of that. It's pretty obnoxious. Well, more of Mal Mortius even completed here for Gideon. Decides not to go for a third item. G just wants that extra magic resistance. Understands that Ju is mainly going to be held up in the sky by him during this game. >> Yeah. >> So, just needs to not die to BDD. doesn't want to get alted and just removed from the game by BDD, which is kind of understandable. >> Yep. I would also not like that to happen to me. There's Teddy taking out these waves, taking out these wards. Control of the Baron pit is what the Bros want. Their turn is so scary as well. If uh they ever do get the control that they're looking for, which they have now. It is the Honey Baron. So, little scary dangerous baron, >> but I think it it kind of testament to the level of control they are trying to establish over this area. Completely shutting out the vision from KT right now. The closest ward to the Baron is that control ward we can see on the left of the screen now. >> Oh man, that is uh quite a ways away from >> Yeah, bit more than a hop, skip, and a jump. >> Yeah, I would say so. Cuz is now going to go into the scary dark. The thing is Curs has a lot of tools to outplay engage, but we've seen before even if you have those tools, if you face check and get the CC layered, you will just die. He is pretty squishy. Yeah. And if you avoid one of them, there's so many others that are coming after you, right? Like vault breaker, cease and desist, charm, even the fates call uh is just so incredibly scary. And the handshake as well can be absolutely devastating. Namong has been playing a great game so far. 100% kill contribution on this. Ranatada and the bros now set up once again. Perfect wanting to face check, but it's getting more and more difficult as great charm connects onto K does go up into the sky eventually, but he is basically out of the fight before it's even begun. >> And there's no camps actually nearby from stay up. The fury can heal up really quickly if raptors or wolves are up, but they're down so he has to actually go for the recall. Oh, there are pings actually on where Gideon is here. Looking for a bit of a wrapound as BDD takes a cheeky little cinder. >> I think one problem though is that BD can chunk Gideon with a more not able to oneshot him. But if the rest of the move there, it's kind of going to give away. They know where Gideon is. >> Well, Gideon has been kind of scoped out though as the scribb does come on down the information. This hasn't been started yet. >> Still trying to fish from this position. Oh, if he actually starts off these raptors, it could be pretty scary as the bros just continue to wipe out these waves and then go back to the fog of war. They do not want to start this baron, though. >> Yeah, I think it's fine. You know, it's the Honey Baron. It's dangerous baron. You also have some item buys to come in before that elder spawns. Teddy's close to Jack Show. Roma's close to Void Staff. Gideon, I think, could pick up Merk Tread sort of back. So, if you get a chance to recall and reset before the Elder, it makes sense. But Gideon's actually sticking around here. He's being he keeps getting stopped by BDD. I think he scribes bloomed him. And now on the Elder. This is so dangerous like you're saying. >> Oh, he's not going to quite find the daggers and Gideon will be able to make his way out. But that was almost game losing. >> Yeah, able to navigate away. Teddy got the jack show and a red pot. This is a big buy. He is so strong. >> Well, now the elder even getting involved here as Perfect taking some damage I think. Um but not entirely sure. His health bar is pretty large >> and pressure is going to be on KT cuz again if Teddy stacks up the Rend on the dragon, this has been fatal for KT in two dragon fights before. They can't let him do it again cuz Elder would just be a game ender. >> Well, look at all the sticks that are already in this Elder as Teddy just happily tanking it up. Casting is on a ward as there's I'VE SEEN THIS FIGHT BEFORE. CASTING DASHES IN, FINDS THE CHARM. THE WILD GROWTH IS THERE ONTO G THOUGH, BUT LOOK AT THE AOE. THEY ALL JUST EXPLODE AND DOWN THEY WILL GO. THE BROS FINDING SUCH A HUGE FIGHT. THEY'LL BE ABLE TO GET THE ELDER HERE OFF THE BACK END AS WELL. AND WE HAVE AN EVEN SERIES, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AS KT CANNOT GET IT DONE IN GAME TWO. And the Bros will make it a best of three. They find the engage, they find Jiru, and the damage is there. Bro get the momentum and get a five for zero ace. Game one looked pretty one-sided, but Pro answer back and take us to the third game of the series. >> Oh, that is what we were LOOKING FOR. ALMOST A GUARANTEE THAT will make it to maximum games here in this series. Gorgeously played here by the Bros. And that is your Bro Tax at work, ladies and gentlemen. We called you out for it earlier on. You heard the call that we now don't have access to, right? Lucilio's gone. Gio uh the Lulu Yunara is gone and the Kalista have been taken away. I think Caitlyn Bard is the next huge one that's [music] to look out for and be very careful of having to draft Jin. Okay. Okay. Okay.
