***Spoiler*** Absolutely brilliant pick and ban strategy by EDG. They saved their ace up their sleeve for the last game vs skt. They baited faker into picking lb and they had a plan for that by picking morg and sivir. Lb's strength comes from popping squishys and that is pretty much impossible with that edg team. 3 tanks and the 2 squishys have spell shield. Faker tried is best, but it's simply impossible because he got countered so hard. EDG coach was the real mvp.
What i dont get from skt is if they gonna pick lb why not first pick maokai? And if ur gonna pick nunu why not pick a good dps source instead of urgot? And why do they let faker play 2 out of 3 games while he has waaay more experience internationalpy and high pressure circumstances? Too many questions... i think skt outclassed edg.. but the coach of edg gave his player better cards while skt was playing with worse...
bf3awesome1 that is because faker is so confident with his lb,since lb was opened. he wanted to prove himself and carried the team and prevented pawn picking lb, and i think he did his best in the final game,the most mistakes is their ad and support,they two were tied by pawn so many times and the equipment of pawn and deft has added so much.
Faker actually played better thsn i expected with LB against this team comp ...its kinda sad his team giving out kills after kills until he couldn't do shit cz they are so fed and still did so good
2:52 After Faker picked LeBlanc, Deft's face just told us everything. Also, being an AP carry or AD carry doesn't mean you are literally "carrying" the game, Clearlove, Koro and Meiko performed insanely well during game 5, especially Meiko.
Damn. Skt feeding early when Faker was in no position to help. EDGs whole team setup centered around countering LeBlanc. If only SKT last picked LeBlanc.
***** Lol dude im a master tier player and skt outclassed edg so hard from my analysis. But they always had a bad pick and ban phase and the lvl 1 blunders ohh gawdd.. but if they improve pick and bans skt will win worlds cuz damn they outclassed em hard.
bf3awesome1 No skt lost a lot of pointless fights they made mistakes in game and out. EDG did also play better. No pro team loses just on the pick and bans. If they are that bad at pick amnd bans that a team that got outclassed really hard in multiple games still wins then they shouldn't be pros. Picks matter but are not the only thing and a better team will still come out on top.
When I watched it live I thought to myself whoever pulled a greater hidden card in pick & ban would win. At the fifth game of the series each team just know the other better than their scrim partners. Great job EDG!
GG FAKER STILL THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD AND SKT THE MOST INFLUENTIAL TEAM IN THE WORLD. BUT GG EDG YALL DID GREAT DEFINITELY DESERVED CHAMPIONS IN MSI :)

SKT NEEDS to adapt. Other teams have found that SKT can crack under pressure if they apply it early. I saw in many of this tournament's matches that they get ganked really easily in the early game. The early ganks snowball into a huge lead against them. This happened a lot in the FNC and AHQ matches. It is only a miracle that they won those 2 in the group stage. They NEED to play more conservatively in the early game so that they can enter the mid game with a good chance of winning, since that's where they really shine.
Patricio Ramos Negrete Crack under pressure? By what you are saying they actually get stronger under pressure being able to defeat AHQ/FNC while 10K gold behind. Also the 2-0 fight near the end of the game was epic. No one is able to halt EDGs advance once they start gaining control of the map. I think their main problem is the inconsistency on the side of Bang and Wolf. They tilt between godlike and below par so often it is impossible to predict how the SKT early game will go. Bang seems lost without his support and Wolf goes aggressive without proper warding/backup. Also I agree MaRin's blind aggressiveness sometimes leads them into trouble.
Patricio Ramos Negrete This leads me to thinking that if SSW never disbanded, would SKT still have won the LCK? SSW was so dominant during their run and they have the best jungler and best support in the world.
Patricio Ramos Negrete Ill defend SKT a bit here, we have to remember that they had like less than a week to prepare for this tournament, they had the least time compared to the other regions since their playoffs ended later than everyone elses
42:18 Faker got evaporated like his opponent when he played Leblanc before... EDG, such teamwork. Every time I saw them take those super risky team fights, like doing Baron and Dragon with 60% hp or sth I thought they went too far and will get picked off by Faker; but clearly their team fight is just next level and beyond my comprehension. No team could do this to SKT for the past split. Fnatic was so amazing early game, but coming into the mid game they got those 7k ~ 10k gold lead and still got beaten by SKT in team fight sometimes, and even got defeated by SKT's comback. However, it never happened to EDG in the finals. In fact for all 3 games that EDG won, once they got a lead 10 mins in, they never let go and this lead was only growing after that. I'm so hyped for the S5 world championships now, since I'm pretty sure this time, it won't be a Korean stomp. AHQ, Fnatic, and of course EDG will very likely to put up a good fight, and even win the world champion from Korean teams this time.
China looks so strong now, not dropping games to anyone other then Korea right now. Even back in the LPL considering OMG is like 6th place right now...man, the amount of talent is insane. And Korea just looks a pretty vulnerable at the moment. Dropping games and even entire series on the international stage, both at MSI and at IEM. I'm really looking forward to seeing more LPL action when the next season starts!!! LMS would also be fun to watch too see the top four teams battle it out. Also credit to Clearlove on bringing out Eve in the final game. Risky and out of meta pick but it worked out perfectly.
+Howard Chow Old comment but, LPL's number 1 team LGD, even lost to a team like TSM(both in Worlds and IEM San Jose)...not to mention MaRin is leaving SKT and joins LGD.
MSI is the perfect stage to show the real strength of the region and teams after a full seasons split. Gambit won IEM Cologne but they now are in 6th place in EU lcs. TSM won IEM katowice and rekd NA lcs but they went 1-5 in MSI. This proves that the real strength of the region is determined after they play a whole split. This again proves that EDG and LPL are strongest region while LCK and EU lcs are fighting for second spot. LMS is third strengthwise with yoe fw and ahq rising and finally TSM and NA teams are fighting for fourth spot with oceania and brazilian teams.
This is a well-deserved win for EDG. Made all the sweeter by beating the undefeated Faker's Le Blanc. If I have one serious question though, it's probably picking Le Blanc so early. If it's any other mid laner, I might think it's doable, but this is PAWN. Pawn probably have a pocket pick just for Faker all this time.
xelasneko IMO, the key pick of this game is Maokai. It pretty much shut down faker lb. And I believe Koroi is unbeaten on that champ while Marin maokai record is something like 20-1. Cant think of any reason why they dont put more priority on it. The other pick is Alistar. Wolf is kinda underwhelming without alistar lately.
Hwk Max Maokai, morgana, sivir, evelyn are great against leblanc. Early magic resist, and a quick silver. SKT lost in the picks, and Pawn's morgana was too good.
Hwk Max Yeah, in this case, EDG is picking with the expectation of Faker playing Le Blanc, and possibly Bang playing Urgot. Also, nice work picking up Evelynn, not expecting her to be in this season of tanky junglers.
Santiago Ley agree dude. When u watch the game, u can almost feel Faker's frustration in team fight. Koroi sure as hell is good enough to be able to tag Faker if he dare to w into the mix. To be fair, EDG is a bit stronger, so I would give EDG 55% SKT 45%. But after the ban pick, it is kinda 70 30
it's so entertaining to watch the 2 drag fights from EDG, both times they went right in after faker used w qr to poke meiko. it give a small window for them to blow someone up before lb can have a second round of spells to give threat to deft. Awesome teamfight by EDG, cracking the smallest window and snowball again and again. SKT wasnt prepared for that kind of engage.
Also....I don't know about Wolf. He made some nice plays with Thersh but I miss Poohmandu. His performance was dysmal in this last game. How many times did he get caught out? It's like he doesn't know he's a support.
i renember.. i was so sad when skt lost. but edg played so good! specially pawn and koro1. miss those league days. now we are in 2019 worlds and skt won the first game. go skt!
Death Kid or....easyhoon could have lost the 4th game, like he did in the 2nd and 3rd. But that's just me, it's all what if's at this point. Bottom line is, EDG won and massive props to them.
Death Kid easyhoon has small champ pool if they ban cassio he will suck! Cant olay other Champs professionally so id go with him if only faker played from the beginning
!spoiler! well heres how it went down through my eyes. EDG won picks and bans, After Faker bought a mejais he couldnt follow up with it especially after he had just bought it. he also misses out on a teamfight letting his team get 5v4 , WHICH was the start of the snowball, everyone knows in league how easy games start to snowball. so EDG had the lead, and they had some good map strategies baiting SKT out of base and into dragon and baron territory, (this was important to me because SKT were profiting kills off teamfights in their base despite their deficit, EDG was able to adapt and decided to use their map strategies. very good plays by EDG and on some of the teamfights you can see some really nice communication on what EDG is trying to do. i will agree to an extent that EDG did outclass SKT but it was their map game and team game more then anything , not really individual skill. mvp for this game? imo i gotta give it to Koro, he played great through the teamfights always occupied with an important position , made some plays for kills and closes the game well at 42:15
Seriously no comments about bang's position in the team fights? He just ultied into 4 person for no blady reason and started throwing at the early game. In all the fights bang was the first few to die immediately
Yeah that was rough. If he hadn't failed that W and had hit EDG with a combo they may not have been able to take the baron and it might have been a different game. No one can be expected to be perfect, but this was a game that his team really needed him to be.
all the "Notice me senpai" kids must be crying right now lol. i said it at the season beginning and i say it again: china strongest region this season. looking forward to see them win worlds. but hey dont fuck with eu and na. tsm looked awful this time true but i know they are an amazing team. fnc on the other hand was the team that everyone thought they would lose. but they looked incredible! if those teams (and uol and c9) are staying at it, we might see an eu/na season 5 champ!
Kai tri Not only that but origen in the eu lcs. Peke one of the all time greats will take another shot at worlds this year. And for me Peke is a top 5 midlaner worldwide he can even play at faker lvl.
***** No body feeds in professional gaming. They get outplayed it is nowhere close to the things that happen in solo que. Those guys that you say feed can decimate all those who call them feeders without even giving 50% of what they can. Also you said played like shit? Reach korean challanger enter the lck in one of the best teams in the world (former world championship winners) then speak trash about them after they got outplayed. Wolf was performing amazing this entire tournament doing play after play. He got outclassed in 1 game and everyone say he is trash he should get out of skt. Solo que logic does not count here where 1 bad game means you are the worst player ever.
***** what the fuck are you talking lol. i even said china>korea and you answer like i said "korea best region ever" learn to read before you make an idiot out of yourself
I can't watch most of the videos on this channel anymore, I don't know why, my laptop won't play them properly, even if I turn off HTML5 it lags up and the videos become unwatchable, such a shame, this is my fav league channel... sigh...
LOL I'm so surprised that someone beat SKT and ppl are not happy about it. It's a matter of Korean team kept winning all the major tournaments for these 2 years (except the last IEM), or finally a team from different region wins something. I'd think ppl would rather side with the underdog here and support EDG to challenge the Korean overlords... I know a lot of ppl are just envy because it's a Chinese team that did the impossible thing instead of a team from their region. But wouldn't it be stupid to envy the region that finally wins one tournament, instead of envy the region that has been stomping the entire world for couple years now? I certainly hope not all of you have gotten used to getting stomped by Koreans...
Ray Lee I can think of a reason or two why ppl dont like Chinese in general. Well, in the end, what matter is that we had a great bo5. My only regret is that DoA didnt cast the grand final XD
Ray Lee If you don't want a korean team to win, you shouldn't root for EDG... They literally just bought two of the best korean players with huge contracts and suddenly they're able to compete with Korea XD
Hapad Yamatt Well that's 3 Chinese + 2 Korean > 6 Korean, and personal skill wise, Pawn + Deft is pretty equal to Faker/Eazyhoon + Bang. Also, what else would you root for? TSM and AHQ are decades behind EDG, and FNC also has two Koreans plus their macro and decision making is just painful to watch. They didn't "suddenly able to compete with Korea". They were the last two World Champions' 2nd place and they defeated everyone else except Korean. The player mechanics have been very close, they just finally got the strategic and teamwork to get it done.
Hwk Max LOL if you are referring to politics (I certainly hope you're not, especially since we are discussing gaming), all other regions have the same thing. For example US has been invading (under the name of "peace", ironically) all across globe for the last 30 years, that didn't stop me and a lot others supporting TSM. I guess at this point I'm just bored to see Koreans, especially after they gave up the aggressive assassin champions. If Chinese dominate the next 2 seasons I'll probably get tired of them as well; but for now seeing a new, super aggressive king of LOL is awesome.
Meiko is a godlistar. I had to watch that faker kill at the end a couple times. It's easy for Koro because it's just a click but an Alistar combo immediately into a lb distortion? Gaawwdd
EDG really did a great a job dominating the entire tournament except the weird loss. Faker, come on, please dun hit the wall. That hit is really heart-breaking. :(
Harold Pineiro Oh yeah? It seem like every team has to get Korean on their team to even make it to MSI. Huni is ex-samsung sub. TSM didnt even win any thing until they had Lustboy. EDG even lost to AHQ before deft and pawn joined. Korean still dominate this game, only in different jerseys
well, I mentioned tsm just cuz they also need Korean import to be successful, like every1 else. I didnt deny the role of Koro and Clearlove in EDG success. But just look at LPL, how many team make it to playoff without Korean imports? Only Snake and OMG if im not mistaken. One more thing, the last international competition that Clearlove won was in season2, Clearlove maybe the best jg right now, but I doubt he can win without Pawn and Deft (being the best mid and adc in the world respectively)
ShowTime4232 i blame SKT coach, both game 3 and game 5 were horriblee B/P. game 3 EDG got the almost 100% win rate combo in LPL. Game 5 simply just got outpicked.
ShowTime4232 honestly i blame the team except for faker and possibly the coach, this game the team fed early and consistently starting with teamfight top lane without faker against entire enemy team, and a few other times, while faker himself didnt die once, got a ocuple kills, and was ahead in lane. they also didnt learn from the fact that EDG liked to roll around as adeath squad in first 5min ganking every lane every game, so they still sent ppl to lane at start that again got face rolled, poor teamplay and poor coaching, which in the end means poor faker....
mathew mclaren You have to understand that it's not the other members of SKT underperforming like TSM, SKT picks and bans phases are horrible and it's impossoble to make them play well.
EDG managing to safe that very important ace in their sleeves till when it mattered the most. That morgana pick came out HUGE for pawn. Also imagine if fnatic beat skt, because they did have that chance lets be honest. Fnatic would probably lose to edg but man full aggression team vs another full aggression team. We would have at least 3 insanely bloody games.
Why is everyone hating on the Leblanc pick? Morgana is a counter for Leblanc but didn't you watch the game? how Faker was able to DENIED Pawns cs that easy? but wait remember Morgana is one of the best lane clearer & plus Morgana had so many help from all his team mates they even tried to gank him 4v1 (or was it 3 I don't remember) butit failed. Morgana got fed because of Bengi & Wolfs getting caught out everytime (like mosltly why they lose the other games) the LB you guys are talking shit about was the one carrying the game. Even in game 2&3 they lost because of Wolf.
Lol I love how a bunch of people are like "go China!!" In the comments Because edg won, when in actuality, 2 members of edg are actually Korean, including pawn.
1) I don't think this is the last we will see of SKT, now you don' gone pissed em' off China! 2) They may have said it and I missed it but- warrior enchantment on Eve, I personally like bork as well but its probably a little trolly.
Basically, Korea won actually not China. Skt t1 won 2nd place which gives a good reputation towards korea, But not only that but EDG has PaWn and Deft(koreans). So if those two weren't in EDG, SKT t1 surely won.
Bob Kim They may be Korean but they're playing for a Chinese team. It's still a win for China despite the ethnicity of its players. Stop being racist. It's blatantly rude.
Bob Kim it's just like soccer teams have players all around the world, it's a club thing. also EDG won despite the language difference, it was a well-deserved win for EDG.
Tear Fully stacked.Well played game. What a way to win the decisive game as well. I would say Faker played well and SKT overall performed decently this match, they just lost the game at champion select. The evelynn pick is suck a marvelous chess move, edg knew that they just needed to pick a tanky comp, and destroy the adc to win, as leblanc doesn't have the consistant dps to carry. Eve didn't actually have to do anything special,she just had to be eve, which make it either that faker has to play defensively or his teammates have to ward deep very early to allow faker to use his W offensively, wolf did that at level 1, as nunu needed time to farm, and lost his flash, edg then simply camp bot repeatedly to keep urgot down, which they succeeded, it took urgot 33 minutes into the game for him to finish his last whisper, faker couldn't assassinate anyone, nor he could do enough consistant dmg compare to a morgana. The urgot first pick was heavily attacked and punished by EDG, leading Bang to be massively behind, not being able to do much at any point during the game. The Nunu pick, therefore, became useless as what would there be for nunu to protect? EDG prepared specifically for this match, the sivir, morgana and alista picks leaving Faker no option to make picks, whatsoever, when i see the desperate plays that Faker had to make, when SKT keep losing fights after fights,i know that there isn't a hope to win anymore, as everything were calculated from the start. If i'm Faker, i would be devastated right now, and i would also certainly not be able to play league for weeks, but i'm also not Faker. SKT as a whole is known for their strong mentality and the ability to comeback, even when the odds are stacked against them. Nothing last forever they said, but ones can certainly comeback from a defeat. Let's hope to see the rematch in season 5 world. I still have faith in SKT.
I'm guessing all ppl here being salty are probably TSM fans who are rooting for SKT.. I mean sure they were the strongest team back then.. but now meta is changing and roster as well. In this sereis they did poorly against team like Fnatics and AHQ and bengi is really their main problem. As for EDG they really showed that every member are having impact in every match. Clearlove is certainly the best jungler atm and showing that he's capable every kind of jungler. As for Koro1 his teleports were on point helping other lane initiating team fight. Basically they are outperforming in every lane.. give me a reason why they wouldnt beat SKT.. and also shoutout to EDG's coach he is basically the one manoeuvring all the strategies.
***Spoiler***
Absolutely brilliant pick and ban strategy by EDG. They saved their ace up their sleeve for the last game vs skt. They baited faker into picking lb and they had a plan for that by picking morg and sivir.

FeelinGood good insight man. you could be a coach
What i dont get from skt is if they gonna pick lb why not first pick maokai? And if ur gonna pick nunu why not pick a good dps source instead of urgot? And why do they let faker play 2 out of 3 games while he has waaay more experience internationalpy and high pressure circumstances? Too many questions... i think skt outclassed edg.. but the coach of edg gave his player better cards while skt was playing with worse...
bf3awesome1 that is because faker is so confident with his lb,since lb was opened. he wanted to prove himself and carried the team and prevented pawn picking lb, and i think he did his best in the final game,the most mistakes is their ad and support,they two were tied by pawn so many times and the equipment of pawn and deft has added so much.

The moment when your unbeatable champ gets a defeat

Seeing Faker lose with Leblanc First Time, is Heart breaking.
Treecake1 im so sad..
Treecake1 You have to lose one day, and still he played great so it was a humble defeat.
Treecake1 Is all about sending the msg there
***** tbh idk why they didn't fcking pick maokai first. when now Marin has a 20-1 record all time on the champ.
Treecake1 I'm just happy someone managed to beat him on lb
Who's here after EDG win worlds?
Meiko
Who’s here after Deft win worlds?
@@LHM1226 You mean faker?
crazy how meiko still w/ EDG and are now the 2021 world champs
And deft a world champ 1 year later 2022
And Faker 😂
Faker actually played better thsn i expected with LB against this team comp ...its kinda sad his team giving out kills after kills until he couldn't do shit cz they are so fed and still did so good
2:52 After Faker picked LeBlanc, Deft's face just told us everything.
Also, being an AP carry or AD carry doesn't mean you are literally "carrying" the game, Clearlove, Koro and Meiko performed insanely well during game 5, especially Meiko.
Awwww....so this is Faker's first loss on leblanc?...... D:
Yes, 12-1
Damn. Skt feeding early when Faker was in no position to help. EDGs whole team setup centered around countering LeBlanc. If only SKT last picked LeBlanc.
***** its not just morg lol remember they also have maokai and allistar picked
GET BACK FROM WORK, MISS FINALS BUT NO PROBLEM, CAUSE BOSS ASS MOFOS UPLOADED EVERY GAME. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!
Quite frankly, Wolf underperformed the HELL out of this game. I'm disappointed in Wolf especially.
ljaquos He thrash talks more than plays.
***** Lol dude im a master tier player and skt outclassed edg so hard from my analysis. But they always had a bad pick and ban phase and the lvl 1 blunders ohh gawdd.. but if they improve pick and bans skt will win worlds cuz damn they outclassed em hard.
***** Quite frankly, Wolf is not a bad player. He's actually a great Thresh but he didn't play NEARLY as well as he could have here. It's a shame.
*****
Basically if Bengi doesn't get Lee Sin he can't do anything. Or at least that's how it was for ages.
bf3awesome1 No skt lost a lot of pointless fights they made mistakes in game and out. EDG did also play better. No pro team loses just on the pick and bans. If they are that bad at pick amnd bans that a team that got outclassed really hard in multiple games still wins then they shouldn't be pros.

Dang, EDG too good. It was a close series and fun to watch.
When I watched it live I thought to myself whoever pulled a greater hidden card in pick & ban would win. At the fifth game of the series each team just know the other better than their scrim partners. Great job EDG!

Patricio Ramos Negrete This leads me to thinking that if SSW never disbanded, would SKT still have won the LCK? SSW was so dominant during their run and they have the best jungler and best support in the world.
lel then would EDG win this tournament? Or even the LPL. LGD and Team WE game them a hard time.
Patricio Ramos Negrete Ill defend SKT a bit here, we have to remember that they had like less than a week to prepare for this tournament, they had the least time compared to the other regions since their playoffs ended later than everyone elses
42:18 Faker got evaporated like his opponent when he played Leblanc before...
EDG, such teamwork. Every time I saw them take those super risky team fights, like doing Baron and Dragon with 60% hp or sth I thought they went too far and will get picked off by Faker; but clearly their team fight is just next level and beyond my comprehension.
No team could do this to SKT for the past split. Fnatic was so amazing early game, but coming into the mid game they got those 7k ~ 10k gold lead and still got beaten by SKT in team fight sometimes, and even got defeated by SKT's comback.

Well. This comment didn't age well back then
Omega LUL
China looks so strong now, not dropping games to anyone other then Korea right now. Even back in the LPL considering OMG is like 6th place right now...man, the amount of talent is insane.
And Korea just looks a pretty vulnerable at the moment. Dropping games and even entire series on the international stage, both at MSI and at IEM.
I'm really looking forward to seeing more LPL action when the next season starts!!! LMS would also be fun to watch too see the top four teams battle it out.
Also credit to Clearlove on bringing out Eve in the final game. Risky and out of meta pick but it worked out perfectly.
Yeah, a chinese team with 2 really really good korean players. ;)
+Howard Chow Old comment but, LPL's number 1 team LGD, even lost to a team like TSM(both in Worlds and IEM San Jose)...not to mention MaRin is leaving SKT and joins LGD.
Now 2023 pawn meiko and deft are those both have msi and worlds
Faker vs Deft, once again in the final, I hope there will be no regrets this time
MSI is the perfect stage to show the real strength of the region and teams after a full seasons split. Gambit won IEM Cologne but they now are in 6th place in EU lcs. TSM won IEM katowice and rekd NA lcs but they went 1-5 in MSI. This proves that the real strength of the region is determined after they play a whole split. This again proves that EDG and LPL are strongest region while LCK and EU lcs are fighting for second spot.

If I have one serious question though, it's probably picking Le Blanc so early. If it's any other mid laner, I might think it's doable, but this is PAWN. Pawn probably have a pocket pick just for Faker all this time.
But if faker didn't pick leblanc, pawn might just dominated skt with leblanc like what febiven did. We all saw how that game ended.
xelasneko IMO, the key pick of this game is Maokai. It pretty much shut down faker lb. And I believe Koroi is unbeaten on that champ while Marin maokai record is something like 20-1. Cant think of any reason why they dont put more priority on it.
The other pick is Alistar. Wolf is kinda underwhelming without alistar lately.
Hwk Max Maokai, morgana, sivir, evelyn are great against leblanc. Early magic resist, and a quick silver. SKT lost in the picks, and Pawn's morgana was too good.
Hwk Max Yeah, in this case, EDG is picking with the expectation of Faker playing Le Blanc, and possibly Bang playing Urgot. Also, nice work picking up Evelynn, not expecting her to be in this season of tanky junglers.
Santiago Ley agree dude. When u watch the game, u can almost feel Faker's frustration in team fight. Koroi sure as hell is good enough to be able to tag Faker if he dare to w into the mix.
To be fair, EDG is a bit stronger, so I would give EDG 55% SKT 45%. But after the ban pick, it is kinda 70 30
JUST AWESOME!
Ty for the video, I really apreciatte it
Fakers leblanc was bound to lose eventually. Massive respect to EDG. Great job this series!
+Kai Hamasaki faker is garbage anyways...
+TurnUp Faker is a 2 x world champion.
+TurnUp look at your face in mirror before throwing some scrap shit out of your mouth
Ravitheja Reddy Why
TurnUp i think he wants you bro
搜今年夏季赛无意搜到了 又看了一遍 还是这么让人热血 EDG！
5:00 I can't stop laughing from this, so energetic lol
it's so entertaining to watch the 2 drag fights from EDG, both times they went right in after faker used w qr to poke meiko. it give a small window for them to blow someone up before lb can have a second round of spells to give threat to deft. Awesome teamfight by EDG, cracking the smallest window and snowball again and again. SKT wasnt prepared for that kind of engage.
Also....I don't know about Wolf. He made some nice plays with Thersh but I miss Poohmandu. His performance was dysmal in this last game. How many times did he get caught out? It's like he doesn't know he's a support.
talk about thresh wolf actually countered a thresh lantern save attemp
Will be more fun, if 5th game is played with random picks.
what's the song at 45:17?
i renember.. i was so sad when skt lost. but edg played so good! specially pawn and koro1. miss those league days. now we are in 2019 worlds and skt won the first game. go skt!
G2 yayyyyy!
@@mlgbblade5221 FPX yayyyyyy!
This video made me cry :(
Faker's Leblanc is now no longer undefeated...
If Faker played the other games instead..
Easy hoon is better
Death Kid or....easyhoon could have lost the 4th game, like he did in the 2nd and 3rd. But that's just me, it's all what if's at this point. Bottom line is, EDG won and massive props to them.
Death Kid easyhoon has small champ pool if they ban cassio he will suck! Cant olay other Champs professionally so id go with him if only faker played from the beginning
Edg won straight up. Even if faker was playing the first 3 games they still would've won. Give credit where it is due.
Kai Hamasaki nah if faker played all games they would of won, even monte and other analysts agree that it makes 0 sense to play ezhoon,
!spoiler!
well heres how it went down through my eyes.
EDG won picks and bans,
After Faker bought a mejais he couldnt follow up with it especially after he had just bought it. he also misses out on a teamfight letting his team get 5v4 , WHICH was the start of the snowball, everyone knows in league how easy games start to snowball. so EDG had the lead, and they had some good map strategies baiting SKT out of base and into dragon and baron territory, (this was important to me because SKT were profiting kills off teamfights in their base despite their deficit, EDG was able to adapt and decided to use their map strategies. very good plays by EDG and on some of the teamfights you can see some really nice communication on what EDG is trying to do. i will agree to an extent that EDG did outclass SKT but it was their map game and team game more then anything , not really individual skill. mvp for this game? imo i gotta give it to Koro, he played great through the teamfights always occupied with an important position , made some plays for kills and closes the game well at 42:15
I have a question, can players hear the commentary? if yes i think its an adventage for both teams saying what the other team is doing
why there are no adr in team skt1
Does someone know what's the name of the music during picks & bans ?
Neelahn Niernen Network Music Ensemble - Born a Champion - Big Beat Orchestra
Neelahn Niernen i just wrote league of legends pick/bann music and there is a playlist of 10 i think and it is the last song.
thx for the upload really appreciate !
anyone knows the song during the champ select?
Seriously no comments about bang's position in the team fights? He just ultied into 4 person for no blady reason and started throwing at the early game. In all the fights bang was the first few to die immediately
33:40, Faker fails a distortion - he's human after all!
Yeah that was rough. If he hadn't failed that W and had hit EDG with a combo they may not have been able to take the baron and it might have been a different game. No one can be expected to be perfect, but this was a game that his team really needed him to be.
Meiko is the real mvp on this game, he totally owned wolf .
EDG is china right? Pawn went to china?
kinoshkiwa yes EDG is from LPL in China
The evelynn pick was beautiful, glad it worked out
EDG really surprised me indeed as I am actually not thinking about the winner could be EDG as 3:2...
13 is unlucky even for a god
What is the theme the select champions?
so do we get edg skins now
Not for mid season, they've got to win worlds
who all will be in worlds
Baconofthe Ark stop talking bullshits man
Baconofthe Ark LOL. 3/10 made me chuckle kiddo.
Colin Park Too bad no matter how strong Korean and Chinese are, some regions can only keep salty and watch.
what is the BGM?
Something different, something new.
When did PawN leave Samsung for EDG. :(
Aram Hong When EDG got money, duh.
all the "Notice me senpai" kids must be crying right now lol.
i said it at the season beginning and i say it again: china strongest region this season. looking forward to see them win worlds. but hey dont fuck with eu and na.
tsm looked awful this time true but i know they are an amazing team.
fnc on the other hand was the team that everyone thought they would lose. but they looked incredible! if those teams (and uol and c9) are staying at it, we might see an eu/na season 5 champ!
Kai tri Not only that but origen in the eu lcs. Peke one of the all time greats will take another shot at worlds this year. And for me Peke is a top 5 midlaner worldwide he can even play at faker lvl.
***** No body feeds in professional gaming. They get outplayed it is nowhere close to the things that happen in solo que. Those guys that you say feed can decimate all those who call them feeders without even giving 50% of what they can. Also you said played like shit? Reach korean challanger enter the lck in one of the best teams in the world (former world championship winners) then speak trash about them after they got outplayed. Wolf was performing amazing this entire tournament doing play after play. He got outclassed in 1 game and everyone say he is trash he should get out of skt. Solo que logic does not count here where 1 bad game means you are the worst player ever.
*****
what the fuck are you talking lol. i even said china>korea and you answer like i said "korea best region ever" learn to read before you make an idiot out of yourself
Kai tri yeah chinas looking pretty strong but koreans are in the lpl now though
Great analysis about c9 mate. They are actually going to the worlds now after having unreal comebacks!
That big boy at 5:13 doing the egg beater! I feel the excitement!
Lol Faker missed that cs at 7:42 ;D
Okay?
I can't watch most of the videos on this channel anymore, I don't know why, my laptop won't play them properly, even if I turn off HTML5 it lags up and the videos become unwatchable, such a shame, this is my fav league channel... sigh...
Skill + Strategy = Win
selection of morgana was so good!
If I told you that in a International finals Game 5 pick and bann phase, Urgot would be the first pick - who would've muted/reported me for spamm?
wasnt 5th game blind?
unbelievable how much exp they lost at the beginning...they lvl 7 n naut still lvl 3
The wombo combos... that morg bind with Maokai and Alister cc
LOL I'm so surprised that someone beat SKT and ppl are not happy about it.
It's a matter of Korean team kept winning all the major tournaments for these 2 years (except the last IEM), or finally a team from different region wins something. I'd think ppl would rather side with the underdog here and support EDG to challenge the Korean overlords...
I know a lot of ppl are just envy because it's a Chinese team that did the impossible thing instead of a team from their region. But wouldn't it be stupid to envy the region that finally wins one tournament, instead of envy the region that has been stomping the entire world for couple years now?
I certainly hope not all of you have gotten used to getting stomped by Koreans...
Ray Lee I can think of a reason or two why ppl dont like Chinese in general.
Well, in the end, what matter is that we had a great bo5. My only regret is that DoA didnt cast the grand final XD
Ray Lee If you don't want a korean team to win, you shouldn't root for EDG... They literally just bought two of the best korean players with huge contracts and suddenly they're able to compete with Korea XD
Hapad Yamatt Well that's 3 Chinese + 2 Korean > 6 Korean, and personal skill wise, Pawn + Deft is pretty equal to Faker/Eazyhoon + Bang. Also, what else would you root for? TSM and AHQ are decades behind EDG, and FNC also has two Koreans plus their macro and decision making is just painful to watch.
They didn't "suddenly able to compete with Korea". They were the last two World Champions' 2nd place and they defeated everyone else except Korean. The player mechanics have been very close, they just finally got the strategic and teamwork to get it done.
Hwk Max
LOL if you are referring to politics (I certainly hope you're not, especially since we are discussing gaming), all other regions have the same thing. For example US has been invading (under the name of "peace", ironically) all across globe for the last 30 years, that didn't stop me and a lot others supporting TSM.
I guess at this point I'm just bored to see Koreans, especially after they gave up the aggressive assassin champions. If Chinese dominate the next 2 seasons I'll probably get tired of them as well; but for now seeing a new, super aggressive king of LOL is awesome.
EDG！ EDG！
Meiko is a godlistar. I had to watch that faker kill at the end a couple times. It's easy for Koro because it's just a click but an Alistar combo immediately into a lb distortion? Gaawwdd
Who's here when Faker used Leblanc on G5 on this year's MSI?
Long live the King!
EDG really did a great a job dominating the entire tournament except the weird loss. Faker, come on, please dun hit the wall. That hit is really heart-breaking. :(
Matthew Matthew Also, where was Faker in the top lane fight .......
the dyrus tp lmao
what if Faker heard the word ''fucker'' but didn't know how to spell it so it came out Faker?
Looks like 2015 worlds gona be a blast
GUYS! Be prepared for hundreds of Wood 5 EVEs next week
that's life... sometimes we lose, sometimes we win.
EDG will be a 2015 championship :D I believe
Sorry Jatt, it's not a Chinese win when both your carries are Korean.
god damn 360p. Well i'll watch it anyway
all regions getting stronger against koreans xept Na
Pawn and deft are koreans, pawn ia s4 champion and deft get to semis also pretty sure that another from edg is korean
Harold Pineiro Oh yeah? It seem like every team has to get Korean on their team to even make it to MSI. Huni is ex-samsung sub. TSM didnt even win any thing until they had Lustboy. EDG even lost to AHQ before deft and pawn joined. Korean still dominate this game, only in different jerseys
Josias but Koro and Clearlove are the key of EDG, carrying a lot of games through all MSI plus Clearlove also got the MVP ;
Hwk Max No one said anything about tsm lol.
well, I mentioned tsm just cuz they also need Korean import to be successful, like every1 else.
I didnt deny the role of Koro and Clearlove in EDG success. But just look at LPL, how many team make it to playoff without Korean imports? Only Snake and OMG if im not mistaken. One more thing, the last international competition that Clearlove won was in season2, Clearlove maybe the best jg right now, but I doubt he can win without Pawn and Deft (being the best mid and adc in the world respectively)
This made me want to be a morgana main. Such a good mid/ anti mage.
Late game Morgana is so depressing to play though. You’re still useful and do ok DPS in team fights but you’re basically just a Q E bot
SKT lose...I blamed Easyhoon.
ShowTime4232 i blame SKT coach, both game 3 and game 5 were horriblee B/P. game 3 EDG got the almost 100% win rate combo in LPL. Game 5 simply just got outpicked.
Lanjin Chen srsly just 1st pick the fcking maokai. that is marin's best champ.
Lanjin Chen Nautilus was very useful in that game against Morgana too, wtf Kkoma
ShowTime4232 honestly i blame the team except for faker and possibly the coach, this game the team fed early and consistently starting with teamfight top lane without faker against entire enemy team, and a few other times, while faker himself didnt die once, got a ocuple kills, and was ahead in lane. they also didnt learn from the fact that EDG liked to roll around as adeath squad in first 5min ganking every lane every game, so they still sent ppl to lane at start that again got face rolled, poor teamplay and poor coaching, which in the end means poor faker....
mathew mclaren You have to understand that it's not the other members of SKT underperforming like TSM, SKT picks and bans phases are horrible and it's impossoble to make them play well.
EDG managing to safe that very important ace in their sleeves till when it mattered the most. That morgana pick came out HUGE for pawn. Also imagine if fnatic beat skt, because they did have that chance lets be honest. Fnatic would probably lose to edg but man full aggression team vs another full aggression team. We would have at least 3 insanely bloody games.
OFC deserved win for EDG！SKT had 3rd time on blue team!
Why is everyone hating on the Leblanc pick? Morgana is a counter for Leblanc but didn't you watch the game? how Faker was able to DENIED Pawns cs that easy? but wait remember Morgana is one of the best lane clearer & plus Morgana had so many help from all his team mates they even tried to gank him 4v1 (or was it 3 I don't remember) butit failed. Morgana got fed because of Bengi & Wolfs getting caught out everytime (like mosltly why they lose the other games) the LB you guys are talking shit about was the one carrying the game. Even in game 2&3 they lost because of Wolf.
Watching this after EDG made world finals
Alguém pelo kami?
maokai is so op. why they didn't ban it.
Pixelshard Pixel because EDG uses Hecarim better
got goosebumps at the last teamfight at the nexus turrets
I was there, and in the fan shot at the beggining :D
lol
hgahahah
You had to play Urgot and nautilus Bot -_-
Lol I love how a bunch of people are like "go China!!" In the comments Because edg won, when in actuality, 2 members of edg are actually Korean, including pawn.
RLY RLY Good games.EDG GJ!
1) I don't think this is the last we will see of SKT, now you don' gone pissed em' off China!
2) They may have said it and I missed it but- warrior enchantment on Eve, I personally like bork as well but its probably a little trolly.
13% EDG TO WIN
Morgana: *Hold my stuns*
Repeat of this year.
Basically, Korea won actually not China. Skt t1 won 2nd place which gives a good reputation towards korea, But not only that but EDG has PaWn and Deft(koreans). So if those two weren't in EDG, SKT t1 surely won.
Bob Kim They may be Korean but they're playing for a Chinese team. It's still a win for China despite the ethnicity of its players. Stop being racist. It's blatantly rude.
Bob Kim it's just like soccer teams have players all around the world, it's a club thing. also EDG won despite the language difference, it was a well-deserved win for EDG.
EDG is a Chinese team so China won.
..
Joshua Graves
Chinese are noobs, Koreans are best. Those noobs won because of their korean players
This loss change faker he became more strong and learned more control mage picks
thats true! Faker is the goat, because he learns from his mistakes and losses.
Tear Fully stacked.Well played game. What a way to win the decisive game as well.
I would say Faker played well and SKT overall performed decently this match, they just lost the game at champion select.
The evelynn pick is suck a marvelous chess move, edg knew that they just needed to pick a tanky comp, and destroy the adc to win, as leblanc doesn't have the consistant dps to carry. Eve didn't actually have to do anything special,she just had to be eve, which make it either that faker has to play defensively or his teammates have to ward deep very early to allow faker to use his W offensively, wolf did that at level 1, as nunu needed time to farm, and lost his flash, edg then simply camp bot repeatedly to keep urgot down, which they succeeded, it took urgot 33 minutes into the game for him to finish his last whisper, faker couldn't assassinate anyone, nor he could do enough consistant dmg compare to a morgana.
The urgot first pick was heavily attacked and punished by EDG, leading Bang to be massively behind, not being able to do much at any point during the game. The Nunu pick, therefore, became useless as what would there be for nunu to protect?
EDG prepared specifically for this match, the sivir, morgana and alista picks leaving Faker no option to make picks, whatsoever, when i see the desperate plays that Faker had to make, when SKT keep losing fights after fights,i know that there isn't a hope to win anymore, as everything were calculated from the start.
If i'm Faker, i would be devastated right now, and i would also certainly not be able to play league for weeks, but i'm also not Faker. SKT as a whole is known for their strong mentality and the ability to comeback, even when the odds are stacked against them. Nothing last forever they said, but ones can certainly comeback from a defeat.
Let's hope to see the rematch in season 5 world. I still have faith in SKT.
I'm guessing all ppl here being salty are probably TSM fans who are rooting for SKT.. I mean sure they were the strongest team back then.. but now meta is changing and roster as well. In this sereis they did poorly against team like Fnatics and AHQ and bengi is really their main problem. As for EDG they really showed that every member are having impact in every match. Clearlove is certainly the best jungler atm and showing that he's capable every kind of jungler. As for Koro1 his teleports were on point helping other lane initiating team fight. Basically they are outperforming in every lane.. give me a reason why they wouldnt beat SKT.. and also shoutout to EDG's coach he is basically the one manoeuvring all the strategies.
SKT are still the ones for me
Oh well that does not mean shit
Kid Pewdiepie e_e you have problems, i can tell.
+Ieevux Here's hoping for Season 5 World Champions!
Abraham M SKT ARE GODS
+Ieevux I was happy to see how they wiped out edg this time. Skt will always be my favourite team
wtf is wolf doing he's good but it looks like he is not good in nautillus
I would've banned Maokai in every match-up, especially if they SKT were going to use LeBlanc.
I cant stop thinking skt would win with easyhoon
