Added: 2026-05-31

[00:00:00]that we were talking about for JDG coming through here with that ambassador for Xiaohu. See if he can earn that second all pro nomination here. And it just means that they're going to be able to take this with Junhao claiming it way ahead of the grub spawn.

[00:00:14]TP coming in but he should just be going back to lane. Might want to push over here. You can see Junja trying to get over as well. They're going to move into the river but the dragon's already gone, Quacks. I don't think you can do anything about it. The smite comes through. Dragon one for ThunderTalk.

[00:00:28]Gets free range on the grubs.

[00:00:31]>> Yeah, looks like Keshi is just kind of jailed under his turret. Doesn't have a lot of opportunities to move as >> That's the breath of life. Yeah.

[00:00:40]Got the 90 caliber net and the the light binding into the trap. And here comes the destiny gate. He's going to go straight into CC here. They need to find the kills. Gala dashing forward is going to get it but it goes one back. Junhao finds the kill. Don't tell me Junhao's about to get two delivered right to him.

[00:00:55]Wait, no. It's on a silver platter for Haru as he picks one up and that mid jungle duo is starting to run.

[00:01:01]>> And that is absolutely worth it for ThunderTalk right there. On gets taken down but the mid jungle duo of ThunderTalk that we have hyped up so much in this series, Mizelle, get the gold for themselves. JDG will get the grubs.

[00:01:15]>> Moving.

[00:01:16]>> bot lane but they're just going to go straight onto the dragon again.

[00:01:19]>> Pressure is just too much. They had push in mid. They had some push in bot and now they just all collapse for a four-man dragon. This would be second dragon coming through. TP coming out from JDG. Junja goes over the wall. He wants the 50/50. He gets it. Junja gets the better of the smite but the season assist, the combo, everything, the final spark thrown at him. Junja finally dashing out away. He is fine with the safeguard and now he is able to put a little bit pressure back. Not able to connect with Haru as they are trying to take the other side of the fight now.

[00:01:47]Honqiu trying to get some influence in here. Keshi is able to lock down Xiaohu for the moment. The flame spitter is breathing flames down JDG's neck now.

[00:01:55]Keshi coming in join. An ace in the hole to follow through on a Hong Q and it is chaos that we wanted and it's JDG dying.

[00:02:04]A full ace coming through at 11 and a half minutes.

[00:02:07]>> Well, the positioning from ThunderTalk was better in this fight and it allows them to have a massive gold lead. Back to live though Hong Q's in top lane.

[00:02:14]>> This is the side lane play that we wanted to see from JDG. He will get the wave mostly with equalizer should burn them down.

[00:02:22]>> They can't even get this CS that's about to crash, Mazel.

[00:02:25]>> Yeah, I mean they might just be able to finish off this turret here after that one and that was just a threaten of the lean from Haru. He disappeared down towards bot side, pings came out and they immediately pulled off and that's first turret going down at 14 minutes or just before and what a moment for TT to extend this lead.

[00:02:44]>> And to the team that doesn't have grubs either, right?

[00:02:46]>> Moving forward, there's the rift herald up on the board now as well as dragon in 50 seconds, Quaxes. Rift herald already started up by JDG.

[00:02:55]>> Yeah, I'm kind of wondering what JDG are hoping to do here. They can go for the herald but it's going to be spotted out by ThunderTalk. They know Junja is in that area so now they're actually going to channel for it. They don't want to give this up at all. They want to fight for every neutral.

[00:03:09]>> That's crazy. They're a scaling comp, they say we want to push the advantage now. Season assist coming through and that's fully focused on Junja. Three man dragon rage kick there as the rift herald gets secured by Junhao. Junhao going to continue the fight as Junja has extended himself and On takes him down.

[00:03:23]Junja can't do anything while he watches his team being picked apart by the wolves of ThunderTalk.

[00:03:28]>> getting picked off one by one, Mazel.

[00:03:31]Now back to live, dragon is up and this is a right of passage for ThunderTalk.

[00:03:37]>> I mean I I was just sitting there focusing on on being at a amusement park. It felt like he was just sitting at one of those stands where you just get the stationary gun that just keeps shooting over and over. He was untouched, he was just sitting there hitting head shots left and right. We're going to see if he can come online. Maybe these are some of the changes they've been working on. That mid to late game decision-making. But their draft is going to be fighting against them. Rift Herald play in the mid lane. Junhao was thinking about going back in the yellow card went down for Hongque. That was almost a re-engage by TT as they fully crashed five members in the mid lane.

[00:04:10]>> Should be able >> The light binding The light binding the breath of life barely saving out Hongque. Junja is now the target. He's going to flash but he's burning. It's vampire going through the burn. IT'S IT'S HERU TAKING HIM DOWN. That's the DFT, baby. Welcome to the league and welcome to playoffs, says TT as they move a realm warp over to try to move out of the base of JDG. Play coming in from TT. Keshi is going to come. He does have the equalizer ready to go if they want to find the engage here. It's going to be the entire camp actually secured by Junja. But it's so much set up ahead of this dragon. Maybe JDG just want to give it up.

[00:04:47]>> Yeah, I feel like that might be the proper option here. Hongque doesn't have ultimate. You don't have the cheat division tool that Destiny provides and I just feel getting into the river is going to be a tall task for Junja. He does have the wall to get over. He could look for another steal but Heru is here to make sure that doesn't happen. So TT >> Oh, he's on this position.

[00:05:10]>> Yeah.

[00:05:11]>> They can just burn him down. Junja literally cannot play the game. Heru just said no as he stands as that is Junja almost getting aced the whole but the fight beside him is now kicking off.

[00:05:21]Gaohla is just ABOUT TO DIE.

[00:05:23]GAOHLA JUST GETS TAKEN DOWN. Heru is running rampant over here over JDG's dead bodies.

[00:05:29]>> And Heru trying to one-up Junhao in the X Games mode fearless factor that ThunderTalk have been putting on display here in game number one. Realm warp into three, it does not matter. Keshi now being aggressed onto by Siatu. He's trying to look for a desperation play but does get out. Baron going to be secured here for ThunderTalk. Two members down for JDG. AND MAZEL, ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED, my friend?

[00:05:54]>> Hell yes, the TT story continues to thrive.

[00:05:59]>> splits I feel have really come into their own, and we saw that come to fruition in the play-ins. We have seen it come through in this game. The performance from these two has been amazing to see, but Haru really has been the standout for the squad.

[00:06:13]>> Second seed Group Nirvana, second seed Group Ascend, maybe not so different as we take a look at a steaming TT. Now looking to take down Jinja down a peg again. They're in the side lane with the Baron buff, still have a minute and 30 with that buff up. Can really do some permanent damage here as Haru tries to go for the bounce with the Breath of Life to get them away, but that is some serious damage on And this comp is so deadly in a siege.

[00:06:39]>> They are Xiao Shu looking for an ultimate there to start something up.

[00:06:42]>> just can't do anything.

[00:06:44]>> Yeah, you're too short-ranged. I'm sorry. And I mean, look at mid lane as well. Keshi is pushing onto the tier two in mid, so it's not going to be just one turret claimed. It's going to likely be two as well. JDG are being pulled apart, split from one another, and ThunderTalk now have found the opening.

[00:07:02]>> everyone from JDG left Hong Q on an island, and that island has been sunk to the bottom of the ocean by TT as they look to pound in this inhib turret and take down the inhib potentially as well.

[00:07:13]Still 45 seconds on this. It feels like this buff is lasting a lifetime for the JDG members.

[00:07:20]>> A lifetime and more for JDG, for sure.

[00:07:22]They're trying to fell against the siege of ThunderTalk, but TT with a 45 They want to end it now.

[00:07:29]>> I mean, they didn't even need to. They were a scaling comp we said. We love their comp as time goes on. They say, "No, I don't care about that." What is JDG to a ThunderTalk in night as the last turret finally falls? Four members collapse on the Nexus and TT strike first in the playoffs going 1-0 lead in this >> All of the members of JDG have the ability to, if they get the ball, deliver a slam dunk, but Thunder Talk crucially did get counter picked in both solo lanes. Renekton is countered heavily. Find an angle onto Kashi.

[00:08:03]Both top laners do have flash as well, so is he going to fall for it?

[00:08:10]>> I think he will. He's going to take the bait. Hey, all you got to do is hold out a piece of meat on a string. He will hit the Dominus, but is it enough? A nice little bounce and a skip will get TT another first blood.

[00:08:22]>> Uh fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, Honqiu goes for the kill.

[00:08:29]>> Yep, and I mean Junja just looking for these angles to to try and get accelerated on this Nefferi, but it's not really working out. He looks for a raptor is invading. Nefferi is here.

[00:08:40]>> Oh, that was a nice audacious charge back and he's got that level six. He's not able to survive for very much longer though and Junja cleans him up. That's some of the skirmish power of this Nefferi.

[00:08:49]>> Prior going to be given over to JDG in mid. Doesn't look like they're interested in moving toward that top side. Instead, maybe just looking to trade for that dragon.

[00:08:58]>> Yeah, I do like the objective start here and I do really like him for the Nefferi to finish that one up. Meanwhile, we're getting an exhaust in bot side is on.

[00:09:06]Able to use that one, but now he's in some trouble. Going to use the Coco to heal up and get a little bit of movement speed. Big damage coming through from Honqiu, but the heal comes out from Feather and saves his life game where that is so heavily prevalent.

[00:09:19]>> Vampire crucially though falling behind pretty noticeably in experience as >> god, he's just dived out like the flash.

[00:09:26]DUDE, HOW WHAT ARE THOSE MOVES? My goodness, dude. He just broke ankles.

[00:09:32]>> Likely will give a play it over to Gala some more income to the Kaisa.

[00:09:37]He has mini Gnar, so could be dove, but they are just face checking around that corner.

[00:09:42]>> Oh my god, he goes around the corner and it's a he was invisible and he's the one that got scared. As Gala now getting ran down by Keshi. Keshi just chasing him, dude. It's the mega Gnar ult into the wall up into the [screaming] wall and into the slam. Keshi finds the kill there and he does have the tempered faith there, but it's going to miss by a feather. But the rest of TT coming in full force. Here comes the hounds pursuit. Here comes the >> Kuju gets stopped mid-air by the three talon strike of Junhao. Junhao trying to go for more kills, trying to go for more damage and he finds one. He's going to find Junjao, which means Xiaohu has to back away. Heru fighting Honqiu in the mid lane in a one V one. Honqiu almost taking him down.

[00:10:19]>> To here, it is the dragon.

[00:10:21]Right now being started up by Junjao and co.

[00:10:25]>> No mega Gnar crucially. He does have it right now, which means if he teleports he's going to go back to mini and I think that thunder talk with no real pre-engage. They're going to go for a fight though.

[00:10:34]>> They lose the dragon. Really nice set up by Junjao to get away. Xiaohu is the one that gets engaged on. He goes with the play though as the shockwave comes through. He lived for so long and now Gala has a chance to do his Kaisa magic.

[00:10:46]Junjao goes for the fight and Junjao goes for the kill. It's going to be on that find it found Viper and Honqiu that found Junhao. Keshi tries to go for the mega Gnar play on Honqiu, but it's still TT who are picking up the scraps here.

[00:10:58]Gala on his Kaisa will side step and put down Heru.

[00:11:02]>> That's that's what you you're stepping to a legend right there, buddy.

[00:11:07]>> Kind of a little too big for your britches, huh? Is what Gala says as Vampire unfortunately just taking out a guy. Oh man, the tempered faith. Honqiu just instantly double CC'd both of the members of JDG who just died did not get to play their champions for that last 5 seconds.

[00:11:24]>> And I don't know if the Pike experimental pick is working out here, Mizzel. O for and two.

[00:11:31]>> like old Vampire. Huge.

[00:11:33]>> Yeah, I mean they were able to break down mid lane pretty quickly there and now just scooping up more and more gold.

[00:11:40]Is this the beginning of belief for TT?

[00:11:44]It's the craziest statement we can think about right now because this team is putting it together.

[00:11:50]>> on to ThunderTalk and make something work with rookie solo laners just speaks to the caliber and the ceiling that this guy can hit and we had questions on whether or not he could find that same level that he did against way.

[00:12:04]>> Getting close to full stacks at least four on on his Miramana. At least trying to get to that one and unfortunately Gala just behind the precipice there is out for suit double engage. There's a shockwave delivery but it's going to be Junja that ends up giving his life reset city for Haru as he loses a huge chunk of health there but he is fine and dandy. They're going to try to burn it down Quacks.

[00:12:28]Meganar's there. You have to be so careful. They are putting themselves between a rock and the death wall to their right. Meganar ready to go for Keshi. He's waiting for the engage potentially feather holding over the wall. No tempered fate for 8 seconds.

[00:12:42]Keshi trying to go for the Meganar play.

[00:12:44]Shoushou going for the counter engage here as over the wall comes feather.

[00:12:47]That's the going to be one down. JDG feeling good. Junja trying to get resets here. Trying to get something going with the hounds pursuit. He wants to go forward here but now it's Haru that goes forward with his ulti which means JDG move back in after everything utilized by TT to take the dragon for soul point.

[00:13:04]>> thoughts and Keshi now the subject of another pick on the opposite side of the map potentially.

[00:13:10]>> The big advantages are in top and jungle for TT so JDG trying to wiggle their way around that. Another charm goes wide from Haru. Try to get the counter engage on to Junja. Junja takes the red buff there. Jun Hao is going to have to pop the crescent guard. Here comes Shoushou over the wall. He was thinking about it.

[00:13:26]Bones gear connects. The charm misses again. Heru can't hit one for his life and his life is forfeit now. Wave goes through. Keshi having to double jump away. Dragon is the focus now. Heru's in the backline here. Gets locked down.

[00:13:38]He's going to have to flash and uses his Spirit Rush away. A lot of defensive tools used so far. Tempered Fate could set the difference in this fight. This feather going forward. There's the Spirit Rush as well. Moving in for the 50/50. Jun Hao goes for the Crescent Guard. The Dragon still 5,000 health.

[00:13:53]Tempered Fate goes wide again. It's a lot of misses from TT and that might put them on the back end. 50/50 finally goes the way of Junja. That's the soul completed and TT now with the white flag up. That white flag will be tattered red as JDG ripped them a new one and it's going to be Gala moving forward on his patented Kaisa. The killer instinct truly living within him as they move over to the Baron.

[00:14:15]>> And neither of them can stop this Baron.

[00:14:17]JDG found their moment and they took it and now they're in control of this game, Mazel.

[00:14:23]>> that you go for. And so, now if it gets them a win, ties up this series, I feel they will be feeling pretty good about themselves for the future of this best of five.

[00:14:33]>> Early advantages. We highlighted that so well and that sometimes in the mid game they get a little bit lost in the sauce.

[00:14:38]>> minutes from now, we could see another dance around the bot side river, but JDG with Baron should at least be able to buy enough space to get vision around that area and set up better than Thunder Talk.

[00:14:50]>> JDG have pushed the tempo of this game.

[00:14:54]>> You can see Keshi is off to the side trying to stack the Narvar, but TT, the rest of them want to just fight now.

[00:14:58]>> Jun Hao goes for a secondary engage there as he looped back around. He's going to have to flash away defensively.

[00:15:04]Keshi needs to get Mega Nar, but they pounce. Satsu finds the CC chain there as the ruthless predator came through on a Heru and Honqiu will be the predator here taking him down. Gala gets the outplay in the solo against Keshi and now Keshi will flash away trying to go for Honqiu. Honqiu makes it out for now.

[00:15:19]TT surrounded. Bone Skewer will not connect. Xiaohu very tanky, very hefty in the side right now. Elder Dragon still looming here as Junja starts it up.

[00:15:31]>> Junja's going to start it up, but there's blinking health bars on JDG.

[00:15:34]They've got to be careful how they approach this fight, but Keshi clearly >> Vampire Vampire tries to go for a wild Bone Skewer, doesn't find it. Junja now trying to move forward here, too. On is going to get away for now. Still having the flash available, still having the exhaust available.

[00:15:50]>> Oh, Feather Feather gets ported out of the Magical Journey on the wrong side that he didn't want. Xiaohu just takes him down. TT are losing health bars and losing hope in this game number two.

[00:16:00]Keshi's about to go down. The solo advantage to the second team all pro top laner Xiaohu with a triple kill already.

[00:16:09]And give the other two to Junja. Elder Dragon for JDG, and they might just finish the game.

[00:16:15]>> It's an ace for them. It's an elder for them. No Wave, I think, is in a position where they can end the game, Mazel, but they can certainly get Baron and the trifecta of objectives to show that you are in control of this game. And we really were questioning the efficiency of a champion like Pyke in today's meta.

[00:16:34]As Gromp is uh going to help JDG out get the ace. Just a little bit of a What What does he shoot? Like poison? Toxin?

[00:16:42]>> Yeah.

[00:16:43]>> Sludge?

[00:16:43]>> I don't know.

[00:16:44]>> Sludge?

[00:16:45]Uh and I mean, Baron up, Elder enabled, and soul acquired. JDG with a rough early game are looking to tie this series up, and they've got all the tools to do so, Mazel.

[00:16:59]>> Rough game number one, too, but it does seem like JDG have knocked off some of that rust and are feeling much more like a second seed coming into the LPL 2026 split two playoffs. They're looking to barrel down the base now. 10,000 gold up, 35 minutes in. Bone Skewer will go a little bit wide, but the hounds pursue of the unleashed. He does have the GA, so he can play a little bit safely with that one. Call of the pack also utilized. He doesn't really have any of those in untargetables ready at the go, but the elder dragon still is ticking and they've got a heck of a ton of barren up cannon minions here. As one tower falls, Galla tries to go for the play and uh that was cheeky. And now they're moving forward. They still have this elder dragon buff for just a second longer. Vampire's going to go down, but Galla is still firing. Now Galla is looking to finish it and >> It's going to get short here.

[00:17:58]And Jun Hao who has been their most important member, I think.

[00:18:02]>> I'm probably right.

[00:18:04]>> Galla looking for an arrow. There it goes. Does it go over vision? Did they spot it? I don't think they did. Where is it going? It's going to go to Feds but maybe no, it's going to go to Jun Hao instead. I don't think they even followed that. If it was on to Feds they could. Can't go there. So we're going to miss top lane.

[00:18:17]Kashi doesn't have ultimate to immediately cancel Shen. Wants to stay with the >> Raimus dragon, no. This is really dangerous. Maybe you could steal an Ash arrow or a Lulu the Lulu was the big one actually cuz he's low HP. Why not actually? Walking over trying to look for this. Going in for the cyclone.

[00:18:30]Smite comes through. Junja has the flash. Has the Shen ultimate coming through as well. There comes the encore but here comes Shaui. It was a poor fight from TT to choose. The Ash arrow comes through. Haru is too low. The center ultimate doesn't matter. TT, what are you doing choosing that fight?

[00:18:47]>> Junja had a Shen ultimate had a Lulu behind him. Clearly a dangerous fight to take.

[00:18:53]>> It's difficult to watch chat cuz I actually think TT have been picking some good fights across this series. They are floating these fights more. I think that Honkey and Galla got too much damage now though. I think that Jun Hao when he's this far behind, I think he'll just die before he can make the big play. Honkey coming around from the flank. That might be a bit too far from actually. A little bit scared from that. There goes. Oh my god, that's a lot of damage coming through. Santa burning down, he will die. Cyclops not enough either. Victor just walks around on the flank and shreds them.

[00:19:19]Honky gives him a taste of hex tech, a great taunt flash there from Xiaohu and Harry will die, too. But really this game is about Honky, much like the last one. Honky, incredible play from him.

[00:19:31]On this on the Victor.

[00:19:33]And TT, they just they just can't get it done now. Triple kill for Honky as he walks away with all three kills from the fight.

[00:19:42]I think JDG have woken up now. I think TT on the other side, I think they did have an opportunity in this game. I think they had some great ability to really cause JDG some heartache.

[00:19:51]It's a real saddening thing for me now to watch TT.

[00:19:55]>> Not really verbal things out of control.

[00:19:58]>> And a reminder that Harry did have a very good game one. It's not all Oh, no.

[00:20:02]Walks into the top. Great damage coming through from Xiaohu. Puts down the ultimate to the stolen Shen ultimate he used to save his life. Oh, he's going to get flashed into the ultimate. And then Junja takes it down as well. He'll want to forget that one.

[00:20:15]Flashes into the ash ultimate. Junja follows him. Shunhao goes down. Great triple taunt there for Jesus Christ, the Shen damage. Triple taunt for him. He might die under the turret, but his job is done.

[00:20:28]What an insane play from Xiaohu.

[00:20:32]Sometimes you forget that Shen is also a ninja and is also allowed to do damage.

[00:20:36]Sometimes you forget these things.

[00:20:40]Oh, TT, I think their spirit's a bit broken now. It's sad to see. TT came in with a very strong statement. And his whole game plan for many games, even without the ultimate, is I'm going to get ahead in the jungle matchup. And he do things like this. Here comes the submarine.

[00:20:57]Oh, it's like a battleship. Honky comes through, but I don't think they want anything more. I think they want to leave the stage VERY QUICKLY. EXIT stage right, pursued by a Nocturne.

[00:21:07]Keshi round the back. He's going to go in for Unstoppable Force, but it feels like it's a little bit little a little bit late. I say that, Gala does go down.

[00:21:14]That's two kills to them now. That's not bad from the solo lane as the Thunder Talk, and they walk onto HonQ. He does have Flash. Doesn't have the Chaos Storm. Keshi getting himself into good position here. HonQ rightfully ignores him though. He says, "I got to kill the Silas. He's the one that will actually cause some damage here." Not bad there from TT. Pick up two kills in the back end of it. Two for two actually with that in mind. Not bad. Not bad.

[00:21:37]They They all were doing >> Okay. I think they were doing fine in the early TV, too. But yeah, once it gets through into mid game, how do you expect to get souls when every lane has to play so respectfully of the Shen Nocturne. Could double it up from Gala.

[00:21:49]Gala walking up uh quite far. Flash in. That's indeed damage onto the Nocturne who's getting CC'd an awful lot, but he might just use the Wukong as a way out. Oh, misses the queue because no one can give him the right angle. Flash forward, and I think Xiaohu will just finish him off now.

[00:22:05]Chaos Storm feels very orderly for JDG as everything is going as a plan.

[00:22:10]JDG will lose Xundra at the back end of the fight, but it just won't matter.

[00:22:16]Xiaohu a great set of disruptions plays there to JDG. Hold the line. TT just don't have the swing behind the back.

[00:22:27]And that'll be a bit of a dodge. TT I mean, credit for them for looking for the play, but they are wiped off the rift five for one.

[00:22:35]>> Bouncing if they look for a Baron steal, you know, that would be fantastic for them.

[00:22:39]>> That's pretty much their only way back into this objective steal. It might just be a bait. Here comes the submarine again trying to go out of vision with the center E. It's not bad. Actually, this is pretty good. They go untargetable with the center E to stop the Nocturne getting into the back line.

[00:22:50]It's not bad at all. Here he goes in again. He's really driving SOMETHING ONTO GALA, AND HE'LL GET HIMSELF A BIT of redemption play. The Chaos Storm is wreaking havoc on the back line, and HonQ is still alive using the queue for the moves he needs one over the wall. he had said he'll get the kill. Flashes to make sure there's no chance of an escape there. It's not bad from TT. They just don't have the stats.

[00:23:12]Three for three and in that >> Aw, that's sad to see.

[00:23:18]Kasha trying to jump onto Honky now. He doesn't have a flash. Can they really get enough damage onto him? They have the wild growth. That's a lot of damage.

[00:23:25]First death of the game. A thousand gold shut down. Jumping in now is Junja. They get themselves a bit of enchanting from that bot lane even with the mountain soul. He'll live that. Kasha goes down. Still a one fight I I guess for the side of JDG but the thousand gold shut down is scary. Gives some gold in pocket for Junja. Again, you can see how if TT had survived to the point where they can peel back around the Wukong ulting and then the Senna Seraphine, it's really not bad. I don't think they can steal this. They don't have a smite, of course. They look for any kind of fight here.

[00:23:57]Maybe.

[00:23:59]Senna getting a queue on target Harry.

[00:24:00]Does he have an ult to steal? Does he steal the Ashe ultimate, maybe? That'd be pretty big.

[00:24:06]Harry got to be careful there. Steals the wild growth instead. A little bit afraid. Oncore coming through. The Shen ult now being used. And that's a great play from Xiaohu. Kills off Harry who can't get out in time. Nor can he cast himself a wild growth. Great play from the top laner. Xiaohu is in with a shout for MVP himself. That's bundle pipes thirds, by the way. Really really wants to Didn't uh Honky live because of the mischain from Harry meant that he fell behind and now he's kind of become the butt of every joke in the team fight now.

[00:24:30]Very very hard to play out this game.

[00:24:38]Turret goes down. The mid lane, the bot lane inner.

[00:24:47]Remember when Ashe had bonus gold here on hawkshot passive? Yeah, remember people maxing hawkshot and going um what's it called? Um avarice blade?

[00:24:57]To try and like fold go like bank Ash, very funny.

[00:25:03]Is tank Shen with a sheen? You do get some AP. You get a decent amount of AP though from the last couple of matchups.

[00:25:07]They're flashing force forcing the flash out of Gala. Going in for the shy cyclone hit with the arrow midway through the dash though. I think that'll be the end of the fight. The chaos storm starts ticking ticking burning. Shau Chi misses the uh, torment. Oh, well, it doesn't matter. Got himself a bit of extra sheen damage after that. Sue, the chaos storm goes into the hurricane.

[00:25:24]That's it. Shau Chi will walk forwards and Harry not much he can do about that.

[00:25:28]A very clean game from JDG. They saw off the early assault from Junhao and Harry onto Hongque. After that, it just felt as though the game fell away from ThunderTalk.

[00:25:39]JDG have suffered a blow in this series, but they have rallied very admirably. They go two on up in this series and will have themselves two match points to go into round two in the upper bracket.

[00:25:53]>> Okay, are there any pocket picks?

[00:25:55]Anything crazy that they can put on display in a best-of-five? And they absolutely do. Camille Fiora just pulls so much attention.

[00:26:06]>> As they have very much these last two games loved to keep pressure on those stacking objectives. Speaking of keeping pressure.

[00:26:15]Haru going to get caught here. The flash play from Junhao with the bramble smash back and now it's Hongque's dinner that is awaiting him. A couple more hits and one more mat smack from Junhao will get him first blood. Give me that gold, he says as he first strikes Shau Chi and trying to set up the inevitable dive. And we might be seeing another accelerated shock blast maybe at the ready. They're going to go in first.

[00:26:37]Keshi is going to get the CC chain here.

[00:26:39]It's going to be everything used and the fadeaway shock blast from Junhao that was set up from the beginning.

[00:26:45]>> Renata is in the area ready to respond.

[00:26:48]Now Kai'sa >> Junhao doesn't know. He's split from the rest of the team. And >> He's going to try to get an engage there on a Jun Hao. Flashes over the wall really nicely done. Beautiful Dredge Line. That's a huge lollipop for Vampire. Now Jun Hao's in trouble, too.

[00:27:01]Gala is trying to chase him down, but takes a huge hit. He's going to flash forward for the kill. On is going to cleanse instantly and take down Gala as a trade, but his life will be forfeit to the duo of Jun Hao and Vampire.

[00:27:13]>> And Vampire is going to take the last kill there, and he absolutely deserves some of that gold. Maybe not as much as he got, >> but in favor of TT. And it looked like it was, but then Jun Hao with a good flash.

[00:27:25]>> Insane Dredge Line. My lord.

[00:27:28]>> [groaning] >> Two for two in Dredge Lines in that play, as well. I think he goes into being three for three here, but uh >> remembers?

[00:27:35]And that is not worth it when Varus on the other side is getting solo gold, as well as the just general objectives going over to JDG, too.

[00:27:46]>> They get the first turret, so at least it's some boon for them in a collapse play there.

[00:27:51]>> This has been the bread and butter of JDG's game plans throughout this series and the main proponent to their wins.

[00:27:57]Dragons really have been Jindaong Gaming's >> Yeah, you know, maybe trying to keep with a percentage, yeah. He's going to keep [laughter] keep that one alive for themselves. As Jun Hao actually going for a roundabout play into Xiaoxu. They do see Jun Hao who's going to use the Nature's Grasp in. Let's see if they can get this combo off, though. Jun Hao is down. TP coming in now. Hong Xiu joining, but he's not going to have too much. That's a nice little double hit from him and Xiaoxu gets a double knock up, as well. It's going to be On taking down. No, he gets taken down, and Gala has now showed up, and Hong Xiu with another master class start here in game four.

[00:28:31]>> 3-0 on his Aurora.

[00:28:34]>> It's a triple to the Aurora, and it's so much gold over to JDG. Thunder Talk thought they had an angle to look onto Xiaoxu, but the rest of Jindaong Gaming respond.

[00:28:45]>> season. And now here in the playoffs, that's a massive TP flank. He'll have a huge shield, too. TT need to move in.

[00:28:53]>> Doing Keshi is here on the back line, but he's completely alone.

[00:28:56]>> out of it. Vampire really nicely side stepped there. Now he's locked down.

[00:28:59]Keshi doesn't even get a chance to play the video game.

[00:29:03]>> It's going to be the back line engaged from Han Kyu who does not survive. He will go down in the dirt. That is huge picks though from JDG. They also take the dragon. Now on getting pushed on by South Zoo. And that's going to be your second team all pro top laner for LPL English almost taking down the enemy 80s.

[00:29:21]>> Only for it to get CC'd and whittled down and completely left alone by its teammates. Keshi falls before he can even step foot or lay a morsel of damage onto the JDG members. Harold secured and now Ginger might be in trouble.

[00:29:37]>> Really good bramble smash, but he's still going to be dead to rights. Haru finally takes him out.

[00:29:43]>> Briefly have a moment where they could try and leverage especially has teleport.

[00:29:47]>> Oof.

[00:29:49]Sadly not actually going to connect there, but this is what I want to see TT doing. They are winning some of the side lane pressure. They are putting pressure on the other members of JDG and Feather's waiting for a big engage. TP's going to come in. Double TPs from the top laners. We are kicking the fight off now. JDG, it's going to be their infernal soul. They take him down and now the explosion start to rain down.

[00:30:08]Keshi has joined the back line fight, but I don't think he's going to be nearly enough. Vampire doesn't even connect the dredge line and it doesn't even matter.

[00:30:15]>> The answers for TT are running thin and TT is running out of time in this series. JDG wiped the floor with them again and this is back-to-back games that JDG have just out muscled their opponent.

[00:30:28]>> JDG put a stop to the story of Thunder Talk's miracle run before it even begins. Lennon, we were thinking after the IG series >> lose the map in a meaningful way.

[00:30:41]And it's just not working for Keshi.

[00:30:43]He's trying to look for these flank angles. He's trying to look for these side lane plays. The side lane plays are somewhat working.

[00:30:49]>> Oh, hang on. Oh my god.

[00:30:50]HonQ does so much damage, but he gets it returned right to him. He makes it out alive after killing Feather, and he's still pumping. JunJia's the next target now for TT though. TT trying to collapse on He's trying to get the kill and HonQ gets the shot after the flash, and that's it.

[00:31:07]>> Should be enough to force JDG to back off. They've actually started hitting the Baron here.

[00:31:13]>> JunHao is gone, so there's no jungle, there's no smite for ThunderTalk.

[00:31:17]Entering into this top side river, they have to be careful, but they also want to try and fight for this Baron. It's whittling down so fast though.

[00:31:24]>> Keshi's moving in. TT going to try to move in, but they cannot get there in time. I think the call is to move away, but it might be too late. Yeah, they're losing Bonnie's anyways. The Nature's Grasp and Came the Cross as well, and HonQ is just assassinating people. The Tibbers not going to get the CC and a HonQ that he wanted there, and he will escape. Curtain Call had gotten used, but Vampire's going to expertly block that one, and the four shot does go a bit wide. A return from TT to defend their blue side, but still does feel like JDG much more favored moving forward in this game, and we have an Elder Dragon in 2 minutes. Keshi's going to try to take down JunJia here.

[00:32:00]He does have some teammates around, but not much help coming his way, and a nice deadly flourish from distance. That's going to be the Chains of Corruption used too, but a big pick coming through, and JunHao's the one that picks up the kill.

[00:32:12]>> First kill shut down there for the Jace.

[00:32:13]Should get him enough >> feeling pretty good about JunJia's chances here.

[00:32:18]>> Look at the amount of control that JDG have over this part of the map. They're not even just sitting in the river, they are literally pushing up this line on ThunderTalk saying, "You will not enter into this area."

[00:32:29]>> I got to give it to Shadow Shoe who's having an impeccable series, impeccable game, as well as the longest standing member of the current JDG lineup. It's going to be Curtain Call Unleashed here trying to get some damage out. TP on the back line from Heru, but he's so far away. Feather just gets caught. It's going to be a late TP as well hit by the Nature's Grasp by Keshi and Heru is on the wrong side of the tracks here.

[00:32:50]Junhao, yeah, I don't even think he could get into 50/50. Heru's going to go for the double flamethrower play on a Gallop. But Gallop gets out alive for now. Honqiu is the one that gets the kill on a Junhao. It is going to be as well Junja claiming the Elder Dragon which just starts flapping its angry wings and taking down TT one by little pesky one.

[00:33:10]>> JDG in about 30 seconds for them to try and end this game. We had some interesting thoughts after game number one Lennon, but JDG have snuffed those out and have cleared the skies that they are the second seed and they have aspirations beyond losing to ThunderTalk.

[00:33:30]>> He's still pushing out top lane as an answer here, but I think JDG are going to do much more permanent damage to TT's home. They're going to move into the inhib turret down here as Keshi getting chased over by Xiaohu Xiu.

[00:33:45]4 v 4 and I think JDG like those odds.

[00:33:48]If Keshi can get back, that does make a big difference.

[00:33:51]As I don't think Xiaohu Xiu is going to be able to stop him this time around.

[00:33:54]He's going to have to start walking here. Doesn't have the TP himself, but the siege is continuing as Gallop takes a chunk of damage from that accelerated shock blast. The deadly flourish connects as well, but now vampire is going to be dodging and blocking. It's going to be Keshi that's the focus.

[00:34:08]Elder Dragon still up for another 15 seconds and it might just reap the sowing damage here on a TT. That's not enough deep defense. They're just going to start losing the turrets. JDG, they gave us a little bit of a scare in game number one, but they are now the ones scaring the LPL. A great start for them in these playoffs and so far a dominant one in games two, three, and four. The final piece to fall will be on and the Nexus goes down 3-1. Jake >> Specifically, what I think this does against Miss Fortune Nautilus is take away a lot of Corki's lane pressure, which can be a little bit scary. Now, obviously, Nocturne Ryze is a massive threat in the mid game and if you can get Corki unlocked >> ton of early game value out of this Nautilus. Feels like we're back in 2025 how quickly we get those supports out of their lane.

[00:34:58]>> Fongyway has won two lanes already with the way that he's played Nautilus.

[00:35:02]Respecting the fact that Rell is here, doesn't want to overextend, but Tian's making his way up.

[00:35:06]>> He is indeed here. 2v2 being battled. Oh my god, this is classic LPL. We're throwing early levels, everyone up into the river. The pillar is going to slow down Hung. Spell shield not going to matter. DOUBLE FLASHES, FLASHES GALORE COMING OUT WITH IT'S TOP ESPORTS THAT ARE JUST WAY STRONGER and better positioned. Just like that. But, two kills picked up for TES and they're right where they want them. Cream and JackeyLove already on the board.

[00:35:30]>> Even Tian getting two assists there is really big and Fongyway's not even done.

[00:35:35]>> Not even done indeed. He is just everywhere on the map right now, Hung.

[00:35:39]He gets that crab, but he's going to eat a Dredge line. A perfect pillar placement comes out from Tian. AND NOW IT'S ZOE on that is here to get in on the action. Tian grabs a kill as well.

[00:35:49]Where at? It's just really going to slow down that mid game power we were talking about. Is Cream going to punish HUNG WITHOUT FLASH?

[00:35:57]THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL flash shockwave shockwave with Tian again.

[00:36:01]>> Looking to push that advantage through those neutrals. Love to see that right on time. He is going after this first dragon of the game. It's kind of what we talked about with that blue side advantage, right? Something I wanted to see them go for with the power of Miss Fortune old over this wall. A Rumble Orianna old coming from that fog on their side of the map. Good to see them prioritizing the scaling threat of these dragons as Tian picks up the first strike here for TES.

[00:36:24]>> Yeah, it is going to be a trade, which is something Top Esports is typically not super interested in doing. Trading objectives not really their thing, but because of all that aggression in the early game, it stalls out enough for both objectives to be on the map at the same time.

[00:36:36]>> Nothing.

[00:36:37]>> You know, maybe take a look at how he's What his stats look like when it comes to his most recent playoff run. So, for JackeyLove, I I believe we have a little something special to talk about. Hold on. We're going to Oh god, did we cast a curse on him? Ys is going to flash magnet storm to pull him right back under turret. The heal from Fanguwei is not even going to save him.

[00:36:54]>> Still in a pretty good spot. About 600 gold up. Just a little bit more over to Xiaohu than maybe he wanted.

[00:37:00]>> Just a bit. Yeah, helps him, you know, complete that Triforce. At least be able to be on tote with one-to-one items as Fanguwei hits another Dredge Line and there's the Shockwave with the Trundle combo you were talking about. Ys is down on a simple warding mission and that means that TES get another quick dragon towards their cause. They're going to get onto that close to soul point here.

[00:37:25]Easy.

[00:37:27]>> Yeah, and they're not even done Tong Yu Win on the bot lane here.

[00:37:30]>> Yeah, the Dredge Line is being held.

[00:37:31]He's trying to get close up. He gets the root first. The root prison is going to buy Tong Yu Win enough space to get back out. TP going to come down. This is Burn Oil all the way from the top side.

[00:37:39]Lights go out. Realm Warp down. LGD throwing everything but the kitchen sink to find this kill onto Fanguwei. There's the first paranoia kill uncontested back towards LGD.

[00:37:49]>> Really really nice punish there from LGD. They have not lost their spark just because they've lost in the early game.

[00:37:55]They need to be able to continue to make these plays to pull it back and they're looking for more on TN here, but I don't think they have the resources.

[00:38:01]>> Yeah, I mean, he's got the Triforce done. He's popping the subjugate. HE IS WALKING YS IS DOWN. Public execution is going to land as the fear is parried there with a knock down, but the TP back from Slayon does get the equalizer down.

[00:38:12]The bird isn't enough. It's a solo lane for Top Esports doing the heavy lifting right now. Burn Oil may have gotten a nice ambuscade, but he's going to follow his jungle and support back to the gray screen. This time it's Top Esports with the nice TP play to cover.

[00:38:26]>> That certainly does not make the play as good [laughter] as maybe it was originally. Tony Wynn is also in big danger here.

[00:38:34]>> Oh, there's the slow coming across. THE OVER HERE FLASH FOR FLASH AND SWAYAN GETS THE SOLO BALL ON THE TONG GUAN Y CX cannot cover for his mid laner. SWAYAN SHOWING WHY HE was on the all pro ballot list.

[00:38:46]>> drives. It's it's free real estate, we'll just say and then, you know, the Ryze definitely overstaying his welcome giving another kill over. It's a 4K gold lead for Top Esports and so much of that is now on the solo laner. He's almost >> as for using Top Esports, but some people, including myself, were worried if this team was going to have enough with the departure not having 369 here.

[00:39:05]So, that soul point will be available in, you know, at the 19 and a half minute mark here for Top Esports. Who's going to try to dust off the last tier one turret to get even more pressure on the map, even more power in those vision lines that lead towards the setups. And of course, right after that infernal soul drake that I don't even or soul point drake that I don't even know if it'll be contested by LGD.

[00:39:24]>> ish. There's nothing to go for on the map right now other than this top lane tier one. Well, more objectives just get taken for free by TES and they put themselves on soul point.

[00:39:33]>> It was something we were a bit worried about, right? That the way LGD could overload size no matter how much gold they're down. Our soul lanes had to show some serious respect. So, we're seeing Cream now all the way back towards his base because he doesn't even want to give a morsel of hope that he's going to give over this shutdown. A fish out of water competing against one item gap.

[00:39:51]So, this could be a spot like you talk about where they've been able to catch up a decent amount in that regard. But, TES are starting to get hungry. SwaYan is going to get caught here. Y CX in the bush camp. There's the paranoia down.

[00:40:01]SwaYan's going to flash, but there's public execution step well by the fear.

[00:40:04]How quickly can he get rid of this rubble? BUT, SWAYAN IS NOT DROPPING. HE WILL NOT FALL AND THE CAVALRY HAS ARRIVED. TES CRACKED DOWN ON THE BOT SIDE PLAY AND IT'S GOING TO BE a complete mercy kill coming down FROM TOP ESPORTS. COUPLE SWINGS OF THE CLUB gets rid of one. BIRDAL DROPS TO JACKEYLOVE.

[00:40:23]IT'S ALL TOP ESPORTS.

[00:40:25]>> WALK into the scary fog. Can they even try and stop this? But Hung is onto his Krugs. YCX can't even get past Cream.

[00:40:33]>> And the Baron is down. Top Esports got the purple banner on to five. And now the assault on the LGD's base is is going to happen shortly.

[00:40:44]>> It's also an infernal soul locked up here as well for Top Esports. They're getting everything, kit and caboodle.

[00:40:49]Lights going to go out here as the equalizer comes down onto Hung and Birdal. And the flame spinner is just going to burn through and INCINERATE THE AMBUSHER. DOWN GOES YCX AS WELL. THUG ONE THOUGHT HE COULD RUN BUT WARPED OUT TO SAFETY. BUT ALL HE FINDS IS TWO DAMN big pistols FROM JACKEYLOVE TO SEND HIM PACKING TOWARDS the fountain. TES are unrelenting and they may just LOOK FOR A DOMINATED GAME ONE WIN right now.

[00:41:14]>> They have everything. They have infernal soul. They have Baron. There's no reason they can't continue to push. Xiaohu and Hung are trying their best to survive on the top side of the map but it might not be enough. TES came out for blood and they've certainly found it here in game one.

[00:41:28]>> Shockwave back up. Bullet time available for JackeyLove. Only thing stopping them from the game one win in their hands immediately is that shortwave. But here comes the next one. Top Esports are not looking to mess around. They're onto the Nexus turrets and Xiaohu nearly drops himself to a double tap from JackeyLove. The Baron minions doing all the heavy lifting but LGD have respawned. They're getting their timers back up. Five strongs Thug one is going to come out of the base. Top Esports they're a little bit indecisive. They want to go after this last Nexus turret. Respecting LGD a bit is the fear will land on Tian but he's taking what feels like negative damage three levels up onto Hung.

[00:42:05]>> Birdal looking for a flank angle to equalize it does finally come down.

[00:42:08]There's a big magnet storm. Birdal in with THE PUBLIC EXECUTION BUT THERE'S JUST NOT ENOUGH DAMAGE. IT'S A STRAIGHT WALLET DIFF HERE FOR TOP ESPORTS. NO ENGAGE WILL WORK. NO HOPE LEFT FOR LGD.

[00:42:20]WHAT A START FOR TOP ESPORTS. ONE OF THE MOST ONE-SIDED WINS IN THE POST-SEASON SO FAR.

[00:42:25]>> ANYWAY. HUH? He played this in game five versus Weibo, but that was because he thought he was countering a top lane matchup, I thought. Maybe he's just playing it playing it straight up now.

[00:42:35]>> I mean, you could >> um an advantage over each other. They try and get into the enemy jungle as early as possible, as impactful as as possible. Make a difference. Goes for the repel. Takes a lot of damage. And there are Ys X goes down. Jacklove Meiko on the other side does have the lethal tempo. Fanguae does he have any more abilities to cast? No, he doesn't. It means that the lethal tempo from Xiaohu is going to be the difference-maker. He needs one more auto attack. Not quite enough. So close. Surviving on under 20 HP. Tian flashing has the warrior tricks is >> get him about back into the game. But there are so many games here. You always have something more to learn, always something more to do.

[00:43:09]>> It's about as much effort as you can do.

[00:43:10]This is a very good route. Very good route from Fanguae. Hung won't die. And it will be the one for >> is coming out of this wave, I think actually. Dragon stolen by Tian and finished by >> LGD Top Esports. You know, both these teams have been legendary at different points in their uh LPL uh careers. But he'll pop in the also. And does have the ultimate as well. Where's the sound going? Going towards bot lane actually.

[00:43:30]So Ys he just gets run down here. Oh, very close. Ys ult for ult.

[00:43:34]Tian going towards bot side. Jacklove having to flash. Tian not a bad roam there.

[00:43:41]I think Top Esports were um you know, a little bit worried about the sound going top lane as well actually cuz if they'd gone up towards the Sa Hen problems would definitely come through.

[00:43:50]There. And that's going to be a great gank onto bot lane. No flash. Doesn't have the ultimate anymore either. Tian gets the kill.

[00:43:57]Teleport coming through from Annie. This actually might be a bit far from LGD.

[00:44:01]Fanguae flashing over. It means that the dog can't get out. Hung goes too far.

[00:44:07]>> series I thought left a lot to be desired. Z Han walk over the wall. They spot him heading that Smite's coming through and it does land in favor of the Wukong. Now, in theory, very, very low again. Very good Q accuracy from Azir. I think you so much for the sub there, Stoner. Appreciate you.

[00:44:28]And thank you everyone for for turning back up again and going first day of LPL playoffs proper. Caitlyn has done okay in terms of pushing bot lane, but nothing crazy, you know. Top lane quest is now being quite tested. Z Han needs to be careful and he's not careful enough. Walks in, uses that ultimate. I think he just dies anyway, though. Not enough healing. Goes down very easily. A face check leads to the death of the Z Han.

[00:44:50]Peril will be finished on the other side. That's probably going to be full tower to Peril, though.

[00:44:55]And now suddenly you start thinking, "Okay, well, you know, now it's the 700 gold lead. It was about 300 before. We don't care about that." This little stretch is over 1,000 now.

[00:45:06]1.2 K.

[00:45:08]Z Han and Cream taking things on the other side. Triforce makes you a very good tower killing jungle. Wukong is actually very, very good at killing towers.

[00:45:13]>> Yeah, for the >> Mhm.

[00:45:18]Tip Hang on, jumping forward again.

[00:45:19]Flashing forward, catching out the dog.

[00:45:21]The dirty comes through. Azir lock tip Just gets him and it's a great Q flash from top. He spots Z Han and Carry. The all-star JackeyLove >> a lot more damage before he can start to kill the Sion.

[00:45:32]>> Cloud Dragon has started. LGD, they kind of lost around of two >> axes in last game if anything else.

[00:45:37]Well, they lost it for for a lot of reasons, but big problems that we've had today have been with the Invictus Gaming teams just not able to contest the objectives the way that they wanted to. Walking over the traps there, Z Han into the back line.

[00:45:48]Sion pops the ultimate trying to buy some space for that Q channel. Gets a decent amount. Peril gets very, very low, though, and it feels like the Vayne has kind of been shut out of the fight.

[00:45:55]Z Han jumping forward trying to stack that passive. Gets a cocoon onto him. We follow CC with a Q afterwards. Funky Way tanking up the ultimate from the Caitlyn. No one's died yet. The HP if anything is slightly in favor of LGD, but they have position on the dragon.

[00:46:08]Hunt does have ultimates.

[00:46:10]But with Tibbers and the cyclone still available, that gets quite scary.

[00:46:16]Dragon taken by Top Esports.

[00:46:23]Well, Suyan put out on both sides now.

[00:46:25]There is an ultimate available on him and I think he's just going to die here.

[00:46:28]The eclipse is too much damage. Two more CC. Suyan, not a bad team fight beforehand despite the fact there wasn't really kills for him to benefit from that. Goes down again.

[00:46:37]Feeling not great there. The clone comes out. Xiaohu way out of position. You can't position like that.

[00:46:44]So, loser of this will face against TT.

[00:46:48]Then on the other side of the bracket, we've got Anyone's Legend EDG tomorrow and BLG WE, but Bdd0l pops the ultimate.

[00:46:53]Suyan, not that happy here. He's just going to get run down.

[00:46:57]Stormrazor, ultimate buffed up by the Hexplate. Suyan, now it might come down to a smite fight.

[00:47:03]Suyan does have ultimate again. Does have flash. He must be careful though. Wei Xiaobei spots him out. Now, the problem is if Wei Xiaobei is spotting him there, it means he's not throwing cocoons anywhere else in the fight, which is actually a bit of an issue for LGD. Q's coming through. Gets taken by Caitlyn.

[00:47:18]Good burst there from LGD. Flandre goes in, gets the CC down. It's not bad from the cyclone either. Bdd0l goes down. So, the Vayne is out of the picture. Cream is quite low. Oh, Wei Xiaobei and Cream do a bit of an alley-oop. One flash is one way, one flash is the other. I think the fight is just very clearly going in Top Esports' favor. They don't get the dragon, but they'll get almost everything else. It's a triple kill for Suyan. He's been getting a bit of the butt of the joke this game. He's not really been able to play out the champion the way he wanted to. A quadra kill for Suyan. He might chase down for the penta. Suyan coming onto Top Esports this year to replace 369 is looking for a penta kill versus LGD. Won't quite be able to get it.

[00:47:55]Shield goes on though. Suyan actually might be able to chase him down. The slow lands though from the roll of the sleigh. It's still very, very close.

[00:48:01]He's toying with him. Looks like >> Sorry, it wasn't the debut roster of Vampire, but he was on the same game.

[00:48:06]So, flip it one way or the other.

[00:48:09]>> Come forward onto Tian there. Well, this is maybe not so great onto him. Goes forward to that cyclone. I think he's just going to die here. Too far forwards. Good pick off by LGD on 400 APM, which it could be in Starcraft.

[00:48:21]>> You're still in your 30s. Yes, you are.

[00:48:23]You are not in a professional I'm I'm hitting 30 at the end of the month, which is, you know, questions about my immortality, I guess.

[00:48:29]XTM just gets hit by the Caitlyn up by doubling it the wrong way.

[00:48:32]>> Flash forward. Oh my god, the damage to Burtle. Almost one shot. Very nearly burned burning down. Swean gets himself that passive up and active. They'll kill Sion and very, very nearly one shot the next target in as well. It's another kill onto Shaya. Toppish has also decided this game is somewhat over.

[00:48:49]Walking forward one more kill. They're double kill to Tian, but Swean pulls the trigger mighty fine in that.

[00:48:55]>> Toppish what's >> Just jump forward and slaughter the first two targets. Burtle might look for the condemn. Jack and Swean need to be careful a little bit jumping or walking too far backwards towards that wall.

[00:49:07]Inhib turret goes down. I don't think they'll even look for the soul. They might just look for the game here. We've got three dead. 15 seconds left on YCX.

[00:49:13]Jumping forward Burtle gets stunned up and he'll die. Great burst coming through from Toppish. What's tower shot?

[00:49:18]I think they'll kill Jack. No, can't quite get enough of the skill shot out in time. Toppish what's 28 minutes was the timer of that last game. It's not too much longer in game two. Just under 31 minutes. Toppish what's last their way to an early start. Two and nil up in the series. Very confident here.

[00:49:39]We did see this in the LPL, but are you in LCK? But are you kidding me?

[00:49:46]Is that legitimately that is a Skarner support? So, the attack speed is still there, but it's less attack speed than it was.

[00:49:53]Oh. Well, Y C X might have just found out the >> chunk of damage out of Tang Yuan.

[00:49:58]Potential triple play here onto mid lane. Hung is spotted now. There's that W coming through. Good flash away from Creams. Tied in the top side. Yark needs another Q. I don't think he's going to get to it. And the counter match up goes wrong.

[00:50:10]Swean with a >> Chase jungle is going to come out of the woodwork again and for LP out.

[00:50:13]>> Even though the Q lost something like 30 damage on every monster bonus damage.

[00:50:24]So, the Q on both sides of >> Tang Yuan eating forwards for a Q.

[00:50:29]>> You know, that's a lot of Akali players want to do that. Ghost pops there. Not bad damage on the battle. Flashing forwards again. But, he doesn't have to flash himself for a few seconds. The Q healing is pretty good. It will end up being a one for one.

[00:50:40]Swean committing the summoners. One for one.

[00:50:43]>> Who is that worth? Well, teleport back up from from uh this actually from Shaya teleporting towards top lane actually.

[00:50:48]It's catch that wave.

[00:51:23]>> And see feet from Swean.

[00:51:26]I very much try not to do that. I thought, "Oh, surely nothing will happen there." Clearly, I was wrong.

[00:51:31]>> Dark procession there.

[00:51:32]>> Ooh, hang on. The axe is not landing.

[00:51:34]The maiden's back up against Swean.

[00:51:35]Really wants to take that trade before the maiden came back up. There's actually a bit of an issue here now. And consider the shock blast lands. That's a bit of a problem. He might still kill him anyway. So close. Can't quite get the kill. Hung saves his top lane his life.

[00:51:50]Wait, look at Xiaohu. I see he has a Wait, I didn't see Oh, I didn't see what Xiaohu did in the entirety of that play.

[00:51:55]Did you see that?

[00:51:56]>> This is mean. No, when he hits Xiaohu onto the wave, they just kill him now.

[00:52:01]Smeb doesn't have ult, does have ghost, he just dies though.

[00:52:05]>> Great double gank. Huni sticks around in top side and you know, >> like team WE and then LGD now as well.

[00:52:12]Oh, the old lands of the scorpions pulled out >> exit. Nope, you've got to stick around for one or two more songs. The encore has been called.

[00:52:20]He'll die to a last order attack. Great ult from Flandre and combo from >> jungler here, right?

[00:52:26]>> Like sticking around for the long term.

[00:52:28]Did take a >> No, LGD have They're like we said, they've been volatile, they've been up and down jumping forward. Cream looking for the kill. Very, very close. Flash away flying in with the E. The W stops him out the air. It's really hard. Getting the timing right is absurdly difficult.

[00:52:42]>> Jumping into top side now has flash and has >> ult, but has the Sundered Sky.

[00:52:47]What are we doing there?

[00:52:48]>> Yeah, Tian has ult. Might just burst out. Huni trying to get the kill here.

[00:52:52]Can maybe get the last order attack.

[00:52:53]Gets it. You know what? Credit to him.

[00:52:55]Not bad. Tian goes into the 1 v 3, forces a flash out of WE Xiye. Tian's Shinzo is pretty down a good amount of gold. JackeyLove is going to be very far ahead of Xiaohu who's struggled to get that much value.

[00:53:08]>> He's got some good taste.

[00:53:10]>> Herald charges onto mid lane. Ziggs will be able to kill that with the satchel now.

[00:53:16]Satchel there for the full turret kill.

[00:53:18]Ziggs a bit more gold in pocket for him now. Dragon now spawned.

[00:53:21]LGD Can they get themselves a good objective fight?

[00:53:26]Hard ask really. Straight breaker in from Smeb.

[00:53:28]Oh, it's Huni who has to force Oh my god, the damage. Where did all that come from?

[00:53:33]Flandre flashes away. That was an insane amount of damage. Very, very quickly in.

[00:53:39]Did not expect that at all. Not one bit.

[00:53:44]Good zone control from LGD. Flandre is going to have to recall on top as well.

[00:53:47]They're going to have to back off of two objective fights in a row, the herald and now the dragon. LGD win themselves two Need have it with some kind of CC jungler like the Maokai. Hung gets hit by the W. He has flash. He's waiting a little bit long to wait for it. Knock up comes through. Not even an ultimate or a flash needed.

[00:54:03]>> Watch the back action on my own replay here. See what happened. Bdd0l going to take bot lane turret. He This is a much better game for them LGD.

[00:54:09]>> Now they're actually getting some inroads in terms of golden. They're not getting completely blown out, but potential fight in the bot side, dragon now.

[00:54:16]Bot side jungle rather. Flandre is not getting it so lucky this time, soloed out. However, Hung is killed on the other side. Suyan takes the jungler out of the picture, uses the Yorick as a bit of an escape route.

[00:54:27]It'll be a one-for-one, not bad actually for top.

[00:54:30]>> [laughter] >> Uh, good stuff.

[00:54:35]Cream walking up to WhiteSnow's half the HP from the Skarner. He does have the Predator harness. That's the Conqueror stacked up. He's the old through. Bdd0l has flash. I don't think he's getting away from the Olaf though. Trying to walk him around. Healing's not bad.

[00:54:46]Flash away. I don't think he'll need the old summoner. It's close as hell and Ziggs goes whiffing on the old. E landed from Tangywen to Suyan. Trying to get some gap close gap making, not gap closing, opening it. Tangywen doesn't have the E now. Cream will fly back over it. Tangywen does have the old away, but that is the old down on the Akali. Bdd0l dies. Suyan gets the kill there.

[00:55:07]And the Akali ultimate is a big tool gone.

[00:55:11]Six no ultimate either. LGD have to give up this objective. I just don't get what Xiaohu is doing with these ults. Should have been able to get that kill onto Suyan.

[00:55:20]At the very least.

[00:55:22]And Suyan God, what a funny game. It's also like, you know, just ADHD brain which like remembers the most random things from across history. I can really tank it to support Skarner. Hung is going to have to get some great poke in.

[00:55:33]If Cream gets another good chunk like right there, it's not bad on Tangywen.

[00:55:37]It's a problem. Good chunk back onto Tung Yuan, takes the Ziggs ult.

[00:55:41]But that's a win for them. Tung Yuan starting to close the draw shut. Tung Yuan knows this, does have flash, does have heal. You can't walk into those Ziggs bombs though, Tian. Off the strike, flash forward. Tung Yuan kills him before he can get the encore off.

[00:55:51]They knew he was there and they couldn't do anything about it. Tian alone now in the river. WhitezZ gets himself the ultimate but not before he dies. Cream, can he save himself to play the Infernal Soul? Went over the top, Beast Mode.

[00:56:01]Burrito will go down and Top Beast Mode clutch it out. A Ragnarok rolls in the mid lane.

[00:56:07]I think Carlie is instead feeling the blues as LGD might just be getting swept here. In fact, I think they're very much getting swept. The Infernal Soul is going to lead through to that turret here as well. The Baron is likely started. Tung Yuan tried his best to kill the encore.

[00:56:22]Gave them something to work with.

[00:56:24]But Cream was the big difference maker there. Trumping away from the W, looking for the one shot. Won't quite get it.

[00:56:30]It's close though. The Seraph's Shield blown and that's another Ash arrow wide actually. Flashing forwards but the Q forces the flash out of Shalya. Tian now caught in river. He's trying to get some Thunder Sky healing. Will die for the quick enough. You just don't kill him quick enough. He heals through if he ever starts hitting you and you die.

[00:56:45]You die.

[00:56:52]Okay.

[00:56:54]Shockwave, not bad on Shalya. But reminder he does have a Bloodthirster so he can heal up a fair amount from that. Cream pushing to mid lane. Shalya very nearly dies to Cream in fact. He's had a very good Aurora game. He's one of the best Auroras on the in the planet right now. In the planet, in the world, on the planet, you know.

[00:57:11]Words.

[00:57:12]Hey Andre, how's it going? Yeah, this will be a 3-0. WhitezZ very nearly killed by the Infernal Soul. Tian turns his back onto Tung Yuan, goes into the enemy base. He might be rewarded for it.

[00:57:22]Ultimate comes out from Tung Yuan. Still has R2. He's getting a little bit scrappy on the other side as Tian chases down for another kill there. Not bad from Tung Yuan but he doesn't get enough done either. Goes into the 1v3. The uncle was looking perspectively into the shadows. Y C X misses and whips the alts. I think Top E Sports will lead us off to a very quick series. 28 minutes, about 30 minutes, and this one's going to be just over 32 minutes as well. Top E Sports very calm and collected here.

[00:57:50]Smash LGD down to the lower bracket and they will face JDG for the good old Top E Sports JDG rumble. One of the greatest matchups in terms of history here in the LPL in the net.

[00:58:00]>> One place that you're in the >> [music] >> wrong. Nidalee us highlights got them all every moment.

[00:58:07]>> [music] >> Every fight.

[00:58:10]Nidalee us highlights keep the fire alive.
