I don’t understand why teams keep prioritizing or even picking Serquet. There hasn’t been a single game this season where she has looked valuable beyond the 15 minute mark.
So proud of ssg. I want them to be a top team like they were last season. I think raffer should stay on the more passive aggressive supp like geb, khepri and nika should stay on the hyper aggressive solos. Gg
Thor lost in game 3 though. Teams just need to learn to play around the threat of his dunk exactly like ssg did. He’s not a must ban if you know how to play around it.
@@Weckmon I thought i included fineokay in that last my bad, but in the spl the solo laners that look good with Arthur are in the minority. The god has a high skill ceiling just a low skill floor
I still love my Rival bois but they really gotta stop throwing. Game 2 should've been done and wrapped up. That call to stay and lurk around fury re spawn was just so questionable. Especially because, like the casters said, there was no vision on the retreat after the siege. Hera, of all Gods just consistently wrapped around these team fights and Dardez just put in so much work especially late game where he can just press 4 and essentially turn the game into a 6v5. The sad thing for me as a Rival fan was that there really wasnt much adjustment at all in game 3 after the game 2 lost. While I think the Tyr wasnt so bad I feel like putting him on something like a Cama wouldve been great with more burst and chase potential but with way more safety using Bat out of Hell. Just made more sense to me. Feels kinda rough for PBM in a way since a large portion of the bans were some of the Gods he absolutely destroys on like the Herc. And though he's more of an agressive Frontline (and love his showing of that) he couldve easily taken away the Khepri for himself since it was looking so Good on iraffer ORRR he couldve gone for something like the XIng or even Horus. Such great CC and set up where Cherry wouldnt be able to just blink past and ignore you blowing up your backline for free because you can peel for your team. Thats what SSG was doing tfor the most part. And also like the desk briefly mentioned, why are they prioritizing the Hou Yi? Yes it could be since it makes the matchup a little better in the laning phase but at the end of this entire set, there was absolutely nothing coming out if the Hou Yi pick at all. Give someone else the pick. Not that I wanna bash on Pandacat at all but he wasnt doing much at all this set, while we have vote on this ullr who not only keeps Panda in check but also rotates so well to fight with his team. All in all, it was a very great set. The first set with Knights and EU was also great. And not to take anything away from SSG at all. They had a plan and they played it so well. Gotta give em props for it. Its like PBM said, theyre a strong team with veteran players so you can never fully count em out. And i personally think this time SSG just straight up won in picks and bans. Still though, gotta love my Rival Bois.
Hou Yi and Serqet are being heavily overrated. Especially since one of Hou Yi's strengths is his passive, which was useless in these matchups against Ullr. Far better to go for the Jing Wei there and try to hyper-carry in the late game, but he didn't even change it up at all. And yeah, I'm a big Rival fan, but they make it hard sometimes because they have absolutely no consistency. They seem so stubborn in their picks/bans, and none of their players have looked particuarly outstanding this year, except for Sam4Soccer2. FineOkay especially is just not the monster he was last year.
Sirius Wantland They choked. All because they couldn’t wait for their frontline to get in position for that Gold Fury in Game 2. I’m not sure if it was Pandacat or CaptainTwig who made that call, but it was unnecessarily stupid. Then, they proceeded to lose every team fight after that point. Unbelievable. Maybe they now know how Sanguine felt when they choked Game 1 against Team Rival. Hopefully, this screws their heads on straight. Also, please get Twig off Raijin. He is so incredibly inconsistent when it comes to him.
@@twoface9959 Yes, CaptainTwig can be a little inconsistent, but he isn't the problem with these games. PandaCat hasn't looked particularly great since going back to ADC, FineOkay has been quiet the whole season and PBM has been lacklustre now that invading isn't a thing.
@@pepeesq.7966 u do realise rival is the top 2 ranked in the spl? How can u say panda hasn't looked particularly great or fineokay quiet when they're literally on top lol
Imagine if Panda went randomly mid again with neith and twig went long lane with uurl (mage like adc with a dash/jump lmao) like tbh they'd be unstoppable
u say that but u wouldn't be able to play Arthur at this level. I've seen arthurs feed A LOT. Arthur does take skill whether or not the community realizes. Even within the SPL u can tell the really good Arthurs (like fineokay and nika and benji) from others that aren't as good
Argus holds W key more than a jungler seeing someone at 1 hp
Hinduman: This league is anyone’s right now, anyone’s.... maybe not Obey but anyone’s!
Me: Savage af
Dardez: *gets Hera*
Rival: Why is there boss music playing that isn't ours?
dardaz's support instinct saving cherryo from fine's execute first game was legit
Ssg is so hot and cold I never know if to vote for them. I hope they stay in top form.
John finch needs to be payed more

BabyYeti yeah it’s weird I don’t think she’s bad but she seems overrated
She did a lot in the Renegades v Rival set

It's so frustrating that no team in the SPL can throw like Rival.
obey
i love the first person view, pls more of it, i dont mind the top view bu the first person view is more fun
love to see my two favorite teams go at it, what a great match
Is Dolson's girl/man just a total freak? Why does his neck have finger print bruises all over it😂
I doubt raffer "accidentally" grabbed Sam, very naive from the commentators
Rybosome u never know. If it was an accident then u just sound naive
Damn Hinduman.. How many "Wivals" are we going to get this year?
Now we cant say that this is a twig problem, sure he is not the best altough is not only his fault
i wonder why no one pick heim or perse, feel like they fit in every comp :/
They are perma-banned for the current phase.
Yeah they are banned because they have certain bugs that need to be fixed first
xNOlZE The Morrigan as well
@@twoface9959 Morri was brought back
Just Vee Yea, but she did have bugs that pushed back her appearance in the SPL this season.
Leeets GOOOO baaybeeeh
Ban Dardez
Only dardez has the power to ban dardez
Call me crazy but I think at this point Thor should be banned immediately by every team because he seems to be always winning.
Thor lost in game 3 though. Teams just need to learn to play around the threat of his dunk exactly like ssg did. He’s not a must ban if you know how to play around it.
Kepri ult won so many engagements.
Why does ssg keep getting first pick?
I don't think Nika gets enough credit from the casters.
That start definitely screwed them game one
Spacestation is again forcing me to write my obligatory “Arthur is a stupid character that shouldn’t exist in smite” comment
the thing is no other solo laner looks as good on Arthur than nika, and perhaps Benji. When other players play him in the spl it looks average
Muzaka nah, every SPL player uses Arthur well, most of them just don’t like to play him
Muzaka have you heard of fineokay? Ever seen him play King Arthur? Check the recent matches he hard carries with king
@@babyyeti2540 spl does not work on the basis of if u want to play a god or not. If a pick is good u play it regardless
