T1 VS KC ON THE INTERNATIONAL STAGE - KR VS EU - MSI 2026

I'll make this real quick.Make sure you subscribe if you're not already and I hope you enjoy the video.I think KC can really cook today.I will be...I guess the best way to describe this is I will be disappointed in KC if they don't take a game.I think they really should.

The signs are there.G2 6 -0s LCK.KC was super competitive against G2 all year.The signs are there for them to get a couple games here.I'm cycling my way home from work while watching this.Yo, yo, yo.

Make sure you're looking at the road.Make sure you're looking at the road.We're straight into draft.Let's boot it up.

Let's boot it up.

Okay, Varus ban, Bard ban from KC.KC have first pick, so they can definitely take away Orianna if they want to.Yehu Orianna was good, Faker's Orianna is good.The Vi ban is pretty good, Lee Sin ban is good for Jarvan, Cryo.Okay, they ban the Jarvan with the Lee Sin ban, so Orianna's open.So Faker really likes Akali and Orianna.

He likes that.And Lee Sin's out, which is pretty good.because that is annoying for Akali.Wow, Jayce 1 -2 for Doran.Jayce Nocturne denial from the Orianna, makes sense, makes sense.Neferi Orianna is pretty good, but his Nocturne is not the best, but it works pretty well here.

Could go Neferi and Sion.It's a good answer.Yorick is a good answer.Sion, Yorick, Kassante, these are just answers to Jayce.Wow, Donor's playing for Donor.I think Sion, Yorick, Kassante with a Neferi is not bad, or with a Xin Zhao, it's a good denial pick in the series.

They're gonna go Ashe, Seraphine, really?Really?I mean they could pick Akali here.They could pick Nautilus here.They could pick Lulu here and drop.They could pick Cassio, but I don't really like Cassio into Ashe, Orianna, or Seraphine.

It's too outranged, I think.You could go Mel AD carry here, to be honest.Viktor is also good.That's a Showmaker classic.Could also go Galio, to be honest.There's the Mel, yeah.

Mel into Ashe, Seraphine, Mama.Okay, well I think Camille ban is good.I think Pyke ban is good.There's also Akali which is still up and a little bit dangerous and it's brewing.For T1 bans, I mean junglers are good.Xin, Nefiri, Sion top, Yorick top.

These are the guys.for Jayce.The Camille.I like that, the Camille.The Wukong, yeah, good.

It's Jayce jungle, Jax not from top.

Yeah.Surely they target Kariya here a bit, right?Camille, nice.It's game one, so there's a lot of options.

They won't be able to, like, pinch the draft super hard.

Sinzao, yeah, good ban.I think Pyke is a good ban.It is.Pyke, Nocturne, Jayce, Mel sounds scary for Ashe, Seraphine to play against.The problem is, Nautilus is still open.So they can just put a Naut on 4 if Pyke's banned.

They're really fine here, T1.So Pyke is open.I think Pyke, Akali are pretty good for T1 right now.And for KC, I think Sion, Neferi are pretty good.It's Mel, Pyke!Oh my god, that's scary, man.

It's scary to play against.T1 has their best champs right now.They can also go Shyvana top.Yeah, you're right.They could play Shyvana top into Jayce.That's a Mirrorwind classic.

I don't know if Kanna plays Shyvana though.Oh, I think, you know, I think Galio is really good here.Galio and Akali are both great last picks here.There's the Sion into Jayce.And I think it's just, it's just Nefiri last surely.

What else is there?

Nefiri.Nasus isn't the best.Sylas jungle is pretty fun here though.

Sylas, Pantheon are other options.

Yeah, I think Galio or Akali.I think actually Galio is better than Akali maybe.So KC have drafted full teamfight.Full teamfight, good scaling, good laning.Good clear very standard comp very standard.It's not bad.

It's pretty solid pretty reliable But like T1 is just fist fight to fucking death push lanes roam around poke them Find angles that T1 are very good with they have very creative champs to be very creative with If I'm yikes this game, I'm pathing bot and I'm covering bot maybe level 6 with Sion ult and Aphelios ult they can target Doran

I think T1 needs to be around bot, KC needs to be around bot.

I also need to be on the right side.I got told I need to be on the right side now.Ooh, is that T1 Pyke?

Finally we're here.

This has been a matchup that people have wanted to see for a long time.T1 versus KC.

Oh boy.

I wish I could hear the crowd.I can hear the KC fans going.

Feeling pretty confident in this matchup going crazy absolutely should be I mean This is the the matchup that we actually saw quid pick into faker wakali getting an extra proc on the first wave is actually not the best Callee players really do like and the question you know is kind of like can you find the angles to make the big plays because otherwise Oriana Slowly builds a leech.He's not attacking you down in lane slowly kind of whittling you out and can create a pretty big CS advantage So you have to be willing and able to go for those aggressive plays?

Nice trading in bot.

Very nice trading in bot.Nice chunk.Ooh, Faker needs to pop a pot here.This is tough.

He's taking a lot of damage in this lane.Yike is doing three camps into invade.He has pushing mid, pushing bot.It's a good invade.It's a very...Hook onto Bussin.

No tower aggro though.Bucio's gonna lean into the red buff.Invade from Yike onto Oner.Can jump on him here.Doesn't get a lot of damage down though.Faker's roaming down, but Faker's quite low here.

It's a 4v4, but I think KC's slightly favored unless they get a pretty good hook into an E. Rooted.Yikes.

Oner got it!

Ooh, that's bad for KC.This whole play is for the red buff, and they didn't even get it.And now, flash out.Kalista's dead.here, he can cook a bit.Oh, he has to react to that, but he missed.

Flash forwards from Oner, Kalista's dead.Pace might die as well though, it's one for one.No, it's not!Okay, it's one for two.Shibao for KC.Great play by T1.

They can't lose this early fight.Their champs need to win this fight.They need to get the red, but they lost it.And now it's a 1k gold lead to T1.They had to win that there, KC.That was a really important sequence.

They dropped the ball.Lost the smite, lost the 3v3.Former and current T1 top players.Oh, Buseyo rooted, no flash.

Stunned, gets sidestepped.Buseyo, great sidestep there, but he's still very, very dead.

That's going to be the order to come through.Oh god, this game is full chop for KC.Ooh, this game's really chopped.The worst part about this game right now for KC is Owner is going to get level 6 in one more level and there's no Flashes bot and they have Pyke.So the amount of pressure KC bot lane is going to be under for the next three minutes is actually disturbing.Their comp is really good at punishing Flashes on immobile champs.

Oh, well, he's level 5 and he's clicking bot.Ah, he clicked it.It's feeding bot.It's time to feed bot.So the way, I guess the best way to describe the game is like, Ashe, Seraphine, Neferi, it doesn't have that much CC early, but it has a lot of poke.So they want to keep T1 on the tower, keep them poked, keep them at range, and never give them a window to go in.

But now, they have no sums, and T1 can just run at them.They can't just poke them on the tower anymore, like level 1 -3 -4.It's gone.That window's gone.So they can't do anything.They are gonna be paper, he's right.

Every hook is a kill, it's ridiculous, look at this.Every hook is just a kill.Oh my god, Faker is chilling so hard.They're just gonna fight Yike.Is he trying to steal the drum?

Oh, they almost got it.Oh my god, that E -hit, he could die.And he lost.So maybe there's something there, ulti to come through.

Go base, go base.Nocturne 6 on crab.Go base now.That's a level 6 Nocturne.Run for your life.They could dive the Seraphine here, but they're not going to do it.

Karia is in between their towers, standing there, menacingly.

So it wasn't the worst possible thing to happen.But now Busio, unfortunately, he is probably gonna get dove here.

Well, there's a fight going on elsewhere as well as Yike looking for Faker.He goes into the shroud though.And just ults away.That is going to be...Pays on a killing spree.

It's gonna be...Game 1 is gonna be a humiliation ritual, okay?This is not gonna get any better for a long time for KC.This is gonna be fucking brutal.This is gonna be brutal.

EU fans who have stayed awake for this, wake up for game two maybe, because oh my god this is going to be rough.I just feel like giving T1..

.I wouldn't say KC's draft is bad, it's just they are playing a draft against T1's best champs, and the champs that T1 have are so good at dealing with KC's comp.

If they get a lead.The fear is not quite going to work out too much but now Doran just dives in goes actually to the skies into the middle of three people and then wanders away.The arrow is gonna sail by and T1 now realizing that they can go back looking for the two -for -one grub straight and Jajk has to get out of their pace looking for Kalista as well who's just not allowed to lane.

Kalista can't enter the lane.This is the thing though like when you're playing Ashe Seraphine 2 -3 which is I think the realpoint of Kayce's draft, if they pick Melon 3, they have Camille, Pyke and Nautilus.They have three champs so you can't ban out support.So you're always in this game of you can get one shot at any point.Another smite from Owner, but wins.

Faker just flashed in.

Oh, and lucked out.Nice jump from Yike.Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, chat.I will say one thing though in their defense.Don't be Game 1 Endies.If you're an OG Watcher, you know by now to not be a Game 1 Endie.

This game is unplayable.

Oh my god.Oh my god.He's gonna die.It's a kill for Seraphine I guess.

That's a kill.For Pace.

Okay, Doran no flash.Doran will die here.He's dead.There is a kill for KC here.God bless.

Will it go to Kalist?

Alright, Kalist gets a kill.I put Ashe most kills in the tournament.He's not doing me a favor here, but he got one, so I'll take it.Okay, I think KC have found a game plan.Right -click Doran.

Oh god, Karius is gonna hook him, auto him and ult him.

Okay, Kalist.What?That hit?

That didn't look very fair.

You can stop it now.

We get it.

He's trying to fuck it up.him.Back up.Ah, mid laner's in bot, checks out.

Oh my.

Bro, game one looks like a fucking charity match, I'm not even kidding.If KC ever click into River.Oh my god, this is embarrassing, bro.What the fuck are we doing?Please log in, KC, next game.Don't be a Game 1 Andy.

I'm sorry, I will not get sucked into this.Okay, Game 1, Game 1's rough, okay?It's rough, it's rough, it's rough.Okay, we go next game.Sometimes you gotta go next.It do be like that, it do be like that.

Listen, I've seen DK up against KT 2 -0 stomping them 10k gold each soul and they lost the series 3 -2.I won't get sucked into this.

first games I won't do it or second games whatever you do don't look at the CS in jungle okay that's the one point that I'll say is best to not look at that is fucking absurd that's a kill that's a kill That's a kill.

Yo, T1's getting a little...Yo, don't get too cocky, T1, yo.No circus, right?Or maybe a circus.Yo, Pace, why did I pick you for KDA in Pick 'ems?Like, you were 6 -1.

It was looking great.But of course, you're gonna start dying.Don't forget, if KC do lose this series and go to the lower bracket, they will play T1 again, likely, if they get through Team Liquid.But at this point, I'm not sure if we're gonna get through Team Liquid.Let's see.Another kill!

Another kill!KC are starting to get some back.Faker is like laughing, okay.He's like smiling, okay.Yehu has a gold lead, right?That's pretty good.

Listen, I saw Carrier Pyke do something very similar to this, but even dirtier in the LCK and he lost the game.If you know, you know.

Aware.If you know, you know.

How is Oner 10 CS per minute in jungle?Has Oner just been practicing smite fights or some shit?How do you even practice smite fights?How is he 7 -0 in smite flips in 2 series so far?Like 7 -0 on coinflip smites.Is it time to buy a lottery ticket?

Or is he just that good?The fuck is this?

Doran just said, fuck this shit, I'm out.

Don't look at mid and bot, oh my god.

The fuck?

Rift Herald just drifted.

Karia can solo kill Kalista.He doesn't know Buseo's here.

Oh my god, he's holding them top.What's the play for KC?The play for KC is to sit there and find Doran apparently.

Operation kill Doran is in full swing here for KC.

Oh god.Help.

Oh, what?He got his flash.Oh, God.Oh, fuck off.Just predict some...Oh, God.

It's...What the...I don't know, man.It's not like...They're just getting...Doran!

No, he's a tanky Jayce.What the...

What the?!

Look at Faker's score, by the way.Look at Faker's score.He's just like...A free win.Okay.I mean, I'll keep farming, but...

This is fucking easy.Me and Faker just co -streaming this one.

Yike is going to get paranoid and I do not blame him.

How many solo kills does Owner have this game?Did T1, like, book a dinner?Like a lunch?No, like an early lunch?Did they have a reservation or some shit?

How many solo kills does T1 have this game?

Tell me!How many solo kills do they have?I feel like everyone's getting solo killed.He can just base and TP back here, Pace.

Oh, god.

Like, T1, you could do Baron.You don't have to kill KC anymore.You could do Baron.

Huh?Huh?You know?Turtle for Elder at 22 minutes in.My region.

KC fans, we gotta stop bullying T1.And the reason is because once upon a time, there was an LPL player who didn't shake Faker's hand after they beat him in a best of 5.And from that disrespect point onwards, the rest is history.If you know, you know.The LPL, bro, that's where it started.

Wait, Oner, no flash.What the?What the?Oh, two kills!Faker!Flip back to the drake, do it.

No.to get this teleport out.Faker knows that he is going to be able to escape.

Bro, they were pinging the Nexus towers before he showed flying.Did they see he was TPing to the Nexus towers?Did you see that?Did they like see it in fog or what?

Did someone check the Nexus towers?There was three pings here on that tower before he left the bush.

Someone must have put their camera on the fog.FaZe, no deaths this game, okay?No more.You got a good scoreline.

Keep the kills up.KC, what if we, like, go somewhere else?I guess there's nowhere to go.

Guys, they're on Baron.

Aha, we're 4v5 on the map, we will do Baron.

And then we will go in 4v5.

Woah, oh no, I might die here.

Damage on the cliffs is massive owner will be taking a little kill for you will also be secured yike doing a whole bunch of work here as Oh my never mind fake is going to show up canna looking to be taken down here is better He got out here about with a bit of drama beat, but maybe you can't go into quite work Yeah, who here as well doesn't have his ultimate for the next little while, but a couple of seconds again in t1 That was a little bit of a bridge too far.Yeah, they decided to go for that fight as well

Now PAAAACE!

What the - Right, we gotta do something about mage spots.

We gotta do something, right?

Somehow, we gotta do something.Surely.Oh, fucking hell.As Oner is going to get a secure rampage from FaZe 10, 2, and 7 now on the line.

Oner is just, yeah, making good money.

Leave some gold for the other people.Or maybe just kill the Nexus, and then you don't need to really worry about it.Oner, just prove that you are the carry.

Which team has the best win rate against T1?Lost for Tones, 2 -0. Technically at international events, because it was international.

Pays bought Mejai's.

Nice, that's good because basically when he buys Mejai's, his brain will tell him that he shouldn't die.So flashing forwards, he won't do that.

Which is good for the Pick 'ems.My favorite thing about this whole game is Faker's scoreline.

He's just watching his, like, he's just watching his fucking kids just body the shit out of KC.3kp and 23 kills.

He's just fucking... 20 to come bot?Nah, we're gonna kill them.

You need me top?Nah.You need me top?Nah.Okay.

Cool.

Alright, come on T1.Wrap up game1. Come on.The worst thing you can do against three inhibitors is try and end the game when Elder is spawning.Because if you actually fuck it up somehow, and they get Elder with three inhibs down, they will get so much gold.

All right, yike in a lot of trouble here pays looks for the ulti.That was an ambitious one is there's a paranoia Never mind, not ambitious at all.Now.They're gonna look to just try and kill them all boneskewer connect That is three on the floor.You just don't fuck it up is Incredible and then this carrier goes down, but he's the only one to fall as the immediate revenge for t1 does come downOh my god, I got GA.

Well...I'm not even playing and that hurts.

Oh my god.

That was fucking...Yeah.Faker's sipping his drink after the game.

Oh, it's cooked.All right, similar bans.A bit easier draft now for KC, because a lot of OPs are out.They obviously want to look for Jarvan with these bans, I would say.I mean, Jarvan is really strong right now.Poppy's out, Lee Sin's out, Akali's out, which is annoying for Jarvan.

Nefiri's annoying for Jarvan.But there is a Bard open.The problem is for Bard is Naut is in.They banned Ziggs.Do you take Bard or Jarvan?Because you've got to take one.

Okay, they take the Bard, okay.Yeah, I think giving him Pike game one, Bard game two is probably trolled.

What?

What?Are we trolling?Bro, I would much rather play like Viktor mid into Cassio than play versus Bard as Cassio.Unless they have a trap for the Bard.I'm not sure what the trap is though.They take Wukong instead.

Like, Nautilus is the only real... trapped for Bard.Unless they're playing like Jhin, Naut.Camille support into Bard is their answer.And just eat through Karrie's shampoo.Bro, it's already game two.I don't know if that's gonna...

Oh my god, I picked Camille for highest win rate.Bro, people are gonna ruin it.Okay, Camille what though?Because this Ziggs ban was crazy by T1 then surely.Ziggs Camille would have been sick here.This would have been such a good pick.

Nice bans.Ezreal, Camille.Yeah, I mean, Pace has a lot of champs here.He can go Jhin.He could go...bar, Jhin bar.

They could go fucking...MF, Caitlyn.They could just drop here and pick Faker.They could pick Viktor.Faker's doing his thinking pose where he bites his finger.What's he thinking?

I mean Viktor is pretty safe.Galio is pretty good.They go for the Caitlyn.Okay.So they're not gonna drop him.I mean Akali's out, which is Faker's favorite counter into Cassiopeia.

Talking to Kanna, I wonder if they're gonna ban Topps.I mean, what mids would you realistically ban?I mean, for Cassio, Viktor is annoying, Syndra can be annoying.Maybe, I mean, Galio can be okay, but I think maybe you just play the game.There's the Jarvan ban.I wonder what Yike's playing this game.

What is Yike playing this game?Pantheon doesn't sound...I mean, it sounds not bad, but they might ban it.I think he might have to play Sejuani this game, unironically, with Camille support and a melee top into Wukong.I think Sej could be an answer.There's Galio ban.

Faker's fucking tired.Gnar ban.Taking away a blind top.Yeah, blind tops right now are not the best.There's like Ambessa, I guess, but it might need a cover ban.There's Renekton, but that might need a Vayne ban.

Actually, I think it's okay if you give Doran Vayne, to be honest.With their draft, they're quite squishy, just play.Okay, they banned the Vayne.Okay, so they really wanted Renekton.

Yeah, he is.

Do you take away Renekton here?What is he gonna pick here?Oh, Syndra!It's so good into Cassio, and it's been buffed.Syndra into Cassio.Like I said, Syndra, Viktor are the two biggest counters to Cassio.

Outside of like a Galio answer.I mean, KC, what are they gonna do?Renekton, Sejuani here?Renekton, Maokai?Renekton, Nidalee?This is like, probably their best option, to be honest.

And I think Doran can just go...Qiyana!

I think Doran just goes Gragas on 5 here into Renekton on 5.

Surely.

Qiyana got buffed, but I'm not sure if it's like...There's the Renekton.

I think Doran -Gragas is amazing here.Doran -Gragas just goes crazy.Surely he goes Gragas here, right?Qiyana -Renekton?What else is there?Do you have any Quinn or what?

You're gonna go Quinn?You're not gonna go Quinn.Trundle into Renekton?Yeah, Doran, Gragas is crazy.All right, well, the Qiyana is kind of risky.I mean, the problem you had here is, I guess they thought they needed an AD jungler, but every AD jungler's out.

Nocturne, Nefiri's out, Poppy's out, Lee Sin's out, Vi's out, Jarvan's out, they picked Wukong.Your options then are Pantheon, Xin Zhao, or, I don't know, but the problem you have is Wukong is good against AD junglers because he's passive, he gets armor.So normally into Wukong you play Nidalee, Sejuani, Maokai.I think maybe Sejuani could have worked there, but it looks like Yike wants to play Qiyana.He wants to run around and fight.He wants to run around and he wants to fist fight people.

Which is, I mean, it's nice, but it just doesn't work because Qiyana -Renekton is heavy AD.Explain how Syndra counters Cassio.It's just range.Syndra just outranges.Anytime Cassio hits a Q, Syndra can just Q E. And if he doesn't hit a Q, Syndra just slowly pokes her down.It's quite frustrating.

Yeah, okay.No heal bot is pretty big.So in terms of win conditions, the game is pretty heavy through bot again for KC I would say.Camille wants to perma fight.Top is kind of neutral again.Top is whatever this game I would say.

It's path bot, fight bot, all in bot.

Did he sneak into the...

Oh my god, this is..for KC.The reason this is awful, KC, is I think KC three men invaded here, and Oner snuck up here.And he's put a ward for when Qiyana crosses, and he took her camps.And now Camille has no flash.Wukong's not that good at ganking early, but if Oner sees an angle where Camille uses E, he can just do Gromp and gank bot.

This is going to be awful for KC maybe.But, but, but, but, I think Yike will know in 3, 2, 1.Wukong took my bot side.Back up bot care.They're going to start clicking back now.

Good timing.

Saved.Right.Oh no?Are you fucking me?Oh my god, the Flash E!Yike is coming though.

Two kills for Yike, two for two.How's the wave in bot?Yeah, Kalista did go a little quick, but it's okay, it's two for two.Also very nice that Owner died, because then Yike can take bot camps, right?Very nice for Yike.He lost his whole camps, but now he's got some kills.

Ah, it's not that big of a deal, I think.It's not that big of a deal.The wave is good for Kalista, right?Which is the most important part.And Pays is level 2 and a half, Kalista level 3, and the wave is good for Kalista.So in XP, he's actually fine.

I'm surprised Yike's not just going for a double crab here.He's going for a bot gank.

Is this gonna work?This could work, but Oner's here.Maybe he can run actually.He's dead to Bard, Bard has passive.

Yeah, well it was good for about a minute.I think Qiyana should have just taken the Raptors, taken bot crab, crossed the top crab and then taken Gromp base and then just recleared back down.

I don't like that pathing from Yike, it's quite greedy, he has so much gold.Yeah, Kalis went way too early.

I think they can get like one or two for free there because they're no flash Caitlyn, right?

They're expecting them to be able to win this.

Oh my god, Busio is clicking way too far forward.

Oh god, we can't actually keep going forward.

Now he's on the Gromp invade top side, but he could have been here way earlier.He got blue.Yike just stole Owner's blue, I think.They didn't show it.But he just outsmited Owner for the first time this tournament.Owner just got outsmited.

Offscreen doesn't count.

What?Really?You're gonna do us like that?Give us one.

12 .6 on Bard?The problem is with T1.And I mean this seriously, you can kind of do this with every champ almost.Carry up Camille, carry up Pyke, carry up Bard.You can do like, I'm pretty sure he has a really good Alistar win rate.Like their win rates are just super high because they just win a lot.

Because they're just fucking insane.

It's going to be able to keep him alive though, as there is the kill on the carrier in the bottom lane.Oh, a kill bot.

It's a shame that Bucio got it.They should definitely push here and chase Pace.

Oh, Doran just E'd the minion.In the meantime, there is still more happening here in this top lane, as Oner does make his way out, and now Kanna gonna take that as an invitation just to kill Doran.

Nice.They got two kills bot here, KC.Great dive.Actually, an amazing dive.Yikes, but I think Oner's top gank, I don't know why he's donoring top.He's trying to kill a red.

Let's pretend owner killed top.I don't think it really matters for the game, you know.I think the Renekton Gragas is just two fucking noodles hitting each other for the next 20 minutes.Bot lane is everything.So now they've stabilized bot pretty well.Ooh, Doran's being quite greedy up here.

He has no flash as well.

If Kanna can just like...

Oh my god that was really well played by Kanna.He's dead though.I feel like that was really well played by Kanna.The rage banishment there was great.Yeah the Camille was super useless, but now she's gotten three kills.In the fight bot on the dive he had one longsword.

Now he has ruby longsword and a tunneler.

He's got so much items.Look at the gold lead though.KC, we're doing a little bit here.We're doing a little bit.

Yeah, KC is going to do the grubs.I think Faker knows that Busuio is behind him.But that's the Cassiopeia syndrome matchup right there.Just throwing spells at him.There's four people top.What the?

I mean it's quite a smart play by T1, they can't fight Drake.And if they stay bot and Oner goes to grubs, they'll just get Dove again.So they just go four man top and get grubs.Doesn't hit.No flash Cassio.No flash Syndra, they traded flashes.

Two play for the KC.No, just one play.Lucio not close to six yet.Carrier is.

One grub would be nice, but yeah, Oner has smite.That was a good swap by T1 actually.

The game could have looked pretty bad for them if they stayed.bot and got Dovin.Is T1 out if they lose this series?No.No one's out if they lose this series.Next series is elimination.

Team Liquid is maybe getting eliminated or DCG.I don't think putting Renekton and Murkthreads into Kayce and Bard is a good idea.They need to...Like Renekton just ran top and is recalling.I think the lane assignment is so weird.

Now Ezreal is running top.But T1 disagree.

And now Renekton's late to bot.The lane assignment was fagged by KC.They just lost pushing both sides because they didn't know where to go.

Faker has no flash here.

Another kill for Busio.He's finding a lot of kills here.

Okay, Yike.

Yes, flash.Oh, he tried to flash double stun.Good flash by Kanna, get the kill.Another kill for KC, 6 -7.Wow, so T1 are doing everything thing in their power.

A big trick here, especially with Camille hovering.

I think he can stay if he wants, but he's going to base and run top and put Kalista back into bot.But T1 can do the same thing again, they can just be rats, push bot here, take the plate if they want, press B, run top, press B on Doran, run bot, and they can just keep doing this mismatch permanently away from Kalista and Busio.And this basically means that the Cajun and Bard can scale for free.Busio is trying to cancel Pays, doesn't find him in time, and now Pays is gone.to push this bot wave as quick as possible, and then base and run top.And by the time

does that, they will push top and run bot, like...I think at one point, I think KC should now just say, fuck it, we can't get the top, they should just hit bot tower.It's impossible.Yeah, they're just gonna hit bot tower now, and leave Ezreal here, have Camille move up, and then just try and defend top.

But they have three grubs here, T1, so they might get first blood tower.

But Ezreal's getting a lot of time by himself, and he's not sharing gold or XP.Kalista gets first blood tower, that's massive for KC.Rapayze will get a tower, and a quest.I mean second Drake to KC.Yike and Kalista are pretty fed.Their comp scales well.

This is really, really, really comfortable.Also I think Camille with this is like the next two to three minutes of Camille is insane.She's so strong.Look at this.Just kills him.You see what I mean?

The Camille champ is insanely strong in support if he gets a little bit ahead.Great kill from Busio.I think Busio this game has been amazing.Purely because he's inted really hard in the first two minutes.In lane, he died twice 2v2.But he didn't stop going in, you know what I mean?

He didn't die twice in 2v2 and think, fuck, I'm inting.He just kept going in.And I think a lot of supports would be like, I'm inting versus T1 International, I should just play safe and stop inting.Nah, he just kept going.

I like that a lot, that's a lot of confidence.Yike's dead.Or!

Nice flash.Take the portal now.Oron took it first, that's kind of weird.Nice TP's, nice TP's.Faker has flash, Bucio vs Faker.There he is dead, two kills for KC, okay.

Cooking really hard.3 .7k up, two drakes, Bucio is running the map.It is an insane kill for KC.If KC win this game, this would be the first series that has more than three games in it so far at MSI.But it's only day two, I guess.The good thing for KC is like, it's okay if nothing happens for the next five minutes.

They have two drakes, and they scale well.That's fine.It's not like they have to, like, yesterday comp with DCG.Where they had like Lee Sin, Camille, Jhin and they had to full send it.KC don't have to send it.

Just get me that Mountain Soul.Always make sure against Cassio if you're in a lane, when you're checking bushes just backstep a lot.You get first strike from Herald?Really?

I guess it's damage.

You get first strike, you drive the Herald, you hit someone, you get gold?Yeah, well done.

Faker is getting a lot of space in bot here.He's getting a lot of space.He's getting XP, he's getting gold.Yeah, who's going to answer him?But to be honest, this Herald play didn't...

Faker has flash.Ezreal ult is going to kill Faker.

Oh my god.It's a horror.I just feel like what Yehu did, I see why he did it because Faker Q -E'd the wave which is Syndra's stun so Syndra had no CC so he could just flash on him.But I don't think you need to do that.I think you can just catch the wave, push and get ready for Jake.I think Casio R flash is amazing for a teamfight against their champs.

I don't think you need to do that.But Syndra no flash against Qiyana, Camille, Renekton, that's nice.But I really like Casio flash against Bard, Syndra.

Barrier for the ult, yeah, makes sense.What the fuck was that?Oh, it's Faker's stun.

Faker is quite strong now.Qiyana needs a better position.The Qiyana position is awful right now.TP from Kanna with the shield.Lucio flashes, they're focusing on the Faker.But Kanna has a big, big fight here.

Was that Casio ult?Nice flash, you can block him here.Can they chase?They should be able to.Doran's gonna have to defend, please.Double for KC!

Does Kanna live the triumph?No, he doesn't.Big shutdown onto Renekton, but the important thing here is KC will get the drake.That was much better from KC.The teamfight, that was great.They TP on the left, Yike comes from the right, and they sandwich a bit.

They had like, Busio, Yike, Kanna.This was a great setup.I liked what Yike did there.His position was not good.He's just standing on a ward in front of three people.So he goes like this, and he pulls them a bit.

And then in comes the back.And then they're getting hits from so many angles.

Oh, it's great.And then the Kennel just crazy.Boom!

Into a Cassi ult as well.

It hit the clone, so it only hit two, but...

I saw that W into the wall, Yike.I saw it, but I won't tell anyone.That Renekton teamfight is like Renekton's wedge dream.It really is.Just play the dragon.Yeah?

No tweaking.Make sure Baron's warded.

Make sure Baron's warded at all co - Teria, man.

Make sure the Baron's warded, please.

T1's looking for Baron.

picks, they're looking for picks, but we're gonna push bot and base.Nice.We're gonna E backwards, we're gonna chill.Lovely.Solo kill?

It's a solo kill, he has no flash.

Solo kill for Yehu!Big pace in the game now for KC.Very big pace.Huge solo kill for Yehu.I'm not gonna lie, I was skeptical of Yehu coming into this MSI.I think he's been playing amazing so far against DCG and now against T1 so far.

I don't think that game one was his fault at all.I think he's been playing super well.He's very, very, very reliable so far.It's only the fifth game so far, but you can't fault anything so far.Two minutes on Drake.Look at the level in mid, because of ROA.

YeHu's gonna be 16, Faker's level 13.

Casio's almost basically 3 levels up.They saw him, they saw him, they saw him, they saw him.Ganelto's pretty good.What?

What?How do they do this?They bardled a Camille and TP on a half length and then they just get four?

How?Whose flash came out a split second too late to avoid that cask and then Faker and Pays are untouched.

Yehu arrives with a TP but his whole team is already dead.The angles that T1 find in the mid to late game for 5v5s or engages are ridiculous.They are absolutely ridiculous.I have to rewatch that fight but...How did Doran get Kalista?Oh my god.

How do they always do it?Kayce is still okay.It's a massive throw, but it's pretty doable still for Kayce.

Oh, that's a massive channel!

Oh, that's a massive channel!It's Giga losing for Kayce.Bucio went in way too fast.Oh god, they lost the game.It's over.They lost.

You're not serious!They lost this!You're not serious!They lost this!Goran can E -flash to Casio here.

It's just one of those things where, Casey, it's similar to yesterday with Team Liquid.The game states that they had in these game 2s are so winning.It's almost like a 75 -25 winning situation.And the lower odds that T1 have in the game when they're behind, the better the angles that they find sometimes to just come back.You can't just drop one minute.of game time and just stop thinking and think oh we just need to chill and like I'm fine here you always have to play defensive when they're behind still because they will just punish anything anything they will just find it this is all in from Casey this is it all in oh the Q missed that's one though I think the owner might die oh nice blast cone from Yehu it's worth it's worth to get the kill

Okay, we got a game here.

We got a game.T1 has a lead.It's a small lead, I would say in this position.KC still have sole point, but the fact that I said that T1 have a lead, even though it's small, when they were down 5k gold and 3 dragons, 3 minutes ago, that is f***ing mental.

The biggest problem KC have right now is...Pace is so strong.The Caitlyn have been getting so much gold.

When you see Caitlyn's items, you're gonna...You're gonna be worried if you're a EU fan.Because he's building towards a GA now, and if he gets GA against Qiyana, Renekton, Camille, then that's kind of fucked.Also Faker's champ Syndra is really good this game.Renekton, Qiyana, Camille, Syndra.One QE from Syndra, that champ is dead.

Tana has a lot of tenacity though.I'm surprised Faker didn't build Zhonya's this game.He went Rocketbelt, I guess, which makes him tanky.But he's going Crit Bloom now.

But surely, Zhonya's against those burst champs is good enough.Just full damage.More like full dash cannon, I guess.Big pick from KC.

That's a dead pick.Big shutdown to Kalista.That is money over to Kalista as well.They get to just set that one up.

Now, everything all evened out as far as the kill score is concerned.And the gold as well.It is 50 -60.

It's starting to fall behind a little bit.

He's had the endless hunger.

He's now working in towards his armor penetration.

He's spotted by the way, he's spotted.

He's recalling on vision.

I think Kalista might have Zedilda's in base, that's pretty massive if he has that.Because there's so much armor on T1.Pussy will be careful, he can get one -shot.Pussy will be careful.

Well, Baron's in 20 seconds and the support is dead, which means they have no wards and the enemy team is called T1, so I think I know where I'm going, guys.Can we ward Baron?Now?He refunded his GA and bought armor pen?!

Oh my fucking god.

He wants to ruin my KDA pick, and he really does.

I swear to God, he heard me say it or some shit, and now he's pissed.

The Baron's gone.It's gone.Unless Yike is a superhero.

Doran's just gonna ult them.I guess Doran ult is just to taunt three people.That is ult.This is fine for KC.Drake's up in 20.

4v5.Why?!It's 4v5 on the Drake and you can just base TP with a Giga Shield!

Run, rush, run, rush, run.R -U -N, R -U -N.

Oh, this is still a close game.

I don't know, man.They're overstaying bot for Faker.

Yeah, that's a kill.No shutdown though.That's a kill, right?But Pays is pushing top, hello.It's 20 to 20 in kills.

Soul for KC, Baron for T1.Oh, he tried to rocket bomb the stun.Flashes to slow.Jumps over, blast goes.Ults the wall, gets hit.Kill onto Carrier, Luciano ults, gets the W, slow onto Owner.

Has Flash.Bomba.Flanning.I think the Rebel Baron powerplay is not going to be done.

T1 had no shot at actually stopping the Soul, so this ends up being a horrible trade for T1.

Why would it have been a lot more than kind of safe at the end of the day?They're not able to do that because they lost Doran, and now T1 back into a tough spot.The gold lead is nothing, but it is that Mountain Soul.

Well, I'm gonna have to use a very early sidecar here as Yehu just does so much damage.The Elder is just gonna die like so incredibly quickly.So if Orman's T1, it's gonna be way better than what we saw previously.Otherwise, that's why I'm gonna just disappear.I think Zidoran's got time now.But, like, list on the other side, still very, very strong.

Can you get a Shojin?These are some big items.

Because they're double GA right now.Can Faker get Rabadons?I wonder.He's only 600 down and Casio has four items, he has three and a half.Does he get Rabadons?

67k gold per team.

Teamfights, well, T1 teamfight is just stay together and try and kill someone.And disengage.KC's teamfight is flank, flank, flank.

What an angle from Bucio.

Can they kill him though?

Because they're all going to peel now.

Bucio's dead, Yikes may be dead as well, but double GA proc.One down.GA from Kanna.

Nice flash from Kalista.

Nah, it's bad.They don't have the damage.

They don't have the damage.

Just don't die.Oh my god, they lose now.It's over.

I think if they just lived there and run, they got the GAs out, but now the game's over.

How did T1 win that fight?The Bartle defended so hard.

It's true.Yeah.

Yeah.Was a nice try by KC, but T1 is a bit too good in teamfights.

It's insane the comeback T1 did.

Another ridiculous comeback.Another one.How did Pace survive there?How did Pace survive?

We gotta vote review that.We gotta review that.How did Pace get out there?So, Busio goes over the wall.

E, stun, ult.

Alright, we know where we are.We're in a Camille ult with GA.Keria pops the Bard ult.All right, we're all frozen.Well, three of us are frozen.Wukong spinning to peel onto Kalista.

I'm going to go frame by frame here.So Yehu rocket belts on the side here.And what you're going to see from Yehu is he's going to rocket belt and he's going to Cassio W here.So there's no escape.So Paze is stuck.They're all stuck.

He's grounded.Massive QW from Faker on the side.Actually chunks Busio super hard.You'll see here from Faker.QWE does a lot of damage.Paze goes into GA.

Is that Cassiopeia that stunned Owner?I think it was.Then, Yike comes in with Hizzled, and he pushes the Wukong into the wall and gets his GA as well.But, Doran finds Yike.Doran's TPing in right now.Watch Doran for a second.

Comes in.Sees Yike.Boom.One -pops him.So now he's taken the Qiyana out.So even though the Qiyana ult lands, he's one -popped Qiyana.

And Bucio is also dead, don't forget.Because Bucio literally jumped in, got Bard ulted, got knocked up, and insta -died.Okay, so we know two people are already dead.Two people are dead, and two people are in GA.So technically it's...It's like a 3v3.

It's Caria, Faker and Doran versus Kalista, Yehu and Kanna.But there's two people in GA, so it's a 5v3 in a couple seconds.So Caria used Locket already to keep Paze alive.He puts a portal right next to where the GAs are coming up.Paze instantly takes the GA, the thing.But the thing that you have to see here and the game winner of the fight is Caria's Mikael's.

That wins the game.You see it?Caria puts the portal down and he sees Kanna's ready with Rage.And as Pays comes back up, he frame perfectly Mikaelz's Kanna's empowered Renekton stun.He's literally standing there waiting for it.He instantly, you might see it in the frame, a stun.

Pays, you don't even see it because it's perfect.Captain Jack instant Mikaelz Pays from the Renekton W. You can see Renekton doing this right now.You can also hear the sound cue if you listen to it.Listen to the sound cue.

You'll hear, you saw it?

He gets Mikaelzed out to take the portal instantly.so that he can W the end of the portal to kill Kanna as he escapes.Ridiculous.It's ridiculous what Karrion does to them.That's the game winner for the fight, I think.You see Renekton, you'll see his animation for W. Nah, that's ridiculous.

That is fucking crazy.bro.That is insanity.That's how Pays survives.Because Pays is a passenger in this fight.He's stuck in a Camille ult.

He can only auto attack.Now he's stuck in a Bard ult.So he can't do anything.Now he's stuck in a Cassio W. Now he's stuck in GA.So for 5 seconds he can't do anything.6 seconds.

Now he can play.But as you can see the stun.You can actually see it.I've actually found the pause angle.Did you see the stun?It's gone.

Because if he gets stunned there and carry a dozen Mikaels, Renekton would go through the portal right now and probably kill him with auto Q, I would say.Because Renekton's pretty strong.Don't forget the Mikaels heal as well, right?He got in the portal before the stun.Yeah, but it doesn't matter.It doesn't matter.

Before the stun, after the stun, it doesn't matter.If he takes the portal stunned, he lands and he's still stunned because Renekton W stun is quite long with Rage.So even if he doesn't get Mikaelis, he's stunned here and Renekton would just portal through and auto Q E him and he's dead, right?He would be stunned here right now still and Renekton would be on top of him.And then I think, then I think it could get sketchy.Because not being stunned makes it so he can hit Renekton in the portal.

And he can EW here, you can see the animation, pays EW.And he can crit auto here, watch the HP.Boom, that was an auto attack from Caitlyn.Insta Sterak's proc.That's another auto attack from Caitlyn.This wouldn't happen, right?

I'm not saying KC would have won the fight.I think they would probably lose the fight.Mainly because Faker has ult, right?In my opinion, Faker has ult here.And regardless of what happens, Faker is gonna press QR on Renekton.So I think there's a world I would probably say in a simulation where the Mikhaels doesn't happen.

Kanna kills Pace.Faker kills the Renekton.Because...about this.Because if Karia doesn't instant Mikael's him.Karia, maybe he would get the Mikael.

Karia dies to Ezreal.Pays dies.Renekton dies.It's 2v3.Doran portals out.Now it's 3v2.

It would be a bit closer, you know.It would be a bit closer.It would be a bit closer.I think T1 would still win the fight.I think the main reason that T1 win this fight is because they have GA's.Playing Qiyana against Double G .

A.in late game is just fucking cringe.I'm not gonna lie, this teamfight from Kanna POV looks so sad to play.I think this looks like such a sad teamfight for Renekton.

Just watch Renekton's teamfight.

He rocks up.Gets some rage.Ults.He gets Caitlyn E'd so he slows.Then he's walking up.Gets knocked up by Wukong collateral.

Gets knocked back by Syndra.Still trying to get on someone.Then he gets knocked up by Wukong again.And now he E's but they're in GA.So now he has to wait for the GA.And then he stuns him and it insta -McCales.

So he thinks I'll chase him.And then he gets insta -popped here.And now he's trapped on his GA.Like this is the worst fight ever for Renekton.This is the most depressing fight I've ever seen on Renekton ever.I think the only way Gnar can play this better is if he just flash -stuns Faker now.

I think that's probably his best angle.And he has E up here, so he can probably E through the wall if he flashes.He needs to flash stun someone, like he just has to.And I think the best target is probably Faker.But I can see why he doesn't do it, because the prime target is Pays, and everyone's screaming, Caitlyn, Caitlyn, Caitlyn, Caitlyn, Caitlyn in his ears.

So he's probably like, where the fuck's Caitlyn?

So I don't blame him too much.Varus is open.Ryze is open with the Nivea ban.Gnar is open with Vayne ban.And Lulu is open with Nautilus ban.There's four OPs here.

Ryze, Varus, Gnar, and Lulu.First pick.

Varus.

They could go Jarvan.But Lee Sin's open.There's no way they gave Faker Ryze with the Nivia ban.Wait, this is fucking perfect, this pick.The draft will be a little bit weird here, because they need to match Ryze, and I think they also need to pick Gnar.So that means they have to drop Jungle.

They're gonna go Xin Zhao and not drop jungle, and they're gonna not pick Gnar either.They're gonna pick Annie.Wow, okay.Varus, Varus, Xin Zhao, Annie, it's pretty solid, but the setup for Gnar here was pretty good.

If I was Doran, I would take Gnar here on three.

The problem is, does T1 bot lane have champs into Varus?They should do.Normally into Varus you play Jhin, Ziggs, MF, Yorick, blind, with bans.Interesting.Well, T1's bot lane options are Sivir, Jhin, Ziggs, I would say.MF.

I wonder if KC can flex the Varus top into Yorick.And pick, like, a bot lane combo.into the Jarvan, like Zeri...Okay, I was gonna say Zeri Lulu.Zeri Yuumi is pretty bad with your comp, though.I think you need a melee support.

Xayah Rakan.Varus Sox versus Yorick.Ah, okay.Well, Yorick's good at the ranged tops, I guess, right?So they can't flex Varus top.

But T1 thinks that the Varus is going top, because why would you ban Lulu?Varus Lulu is in the lane.So T1 kind of thinks it's going top because they picked Yorick as well, which is good into Varus top.Unless they're banning Lulu to cover off one bot lane combo blind, and they're gonna ban a top laner now to cover off another top lane combo blind.No, they just ban Lulu right now.Wow, they think the Varus is going top.

Leziah Rakan was possible from KC.I wonder with these bans if they're taking Zerion for?Is that like the The play?Yeah, Ziggs, Jhin are good answers to Varus.So already I think this Varus is going bot.Ans to Varus like we said.

I mean, Melio is good against Annie.Neeko, nice.What do you pick into Yorick?Do you just go Jax here?I feel like Jax into Jarvan, Lucian, Yorick is pretty good.Kanna, Jax maybe?

Olaf?Nah, into Jarvan is bad.Yorick also.It's not that nice.

He's gonna go Gnar into Yorick.

Isn't that pretty good for Yorick?Alright, Melio on 5.Well, I would love from T1.I don't know if he will do it, but I think something I would be a bit careful of as KC this game is if Jarvan tries to split the map bot somehow.On red side, like blue into Raptors into red bot side invade or like level one walking.Yeah, I think Jax could have cooked there, but Gnar is okay.

I think top lane doesn't really matter too much this series.

in lane, you know.It's not like a huge top lane fighting top side lane.

Here it is.Some kind of split map bot would be nice for T1.Some kind of late invade or some kind of check on bot side.But it looks like he's just going to start top side.

Doran's Helm on Varus.With Bone Plating.

Ooh, they're getting a bit spaced here.Oh my god, they're getting spaced.There was an auto -cancel from Varus which kind of made Page want to go back in.Oh my god, a double W as well.She -Bal.

W hits again.Nice shield.Nice E back.They're going to get level 2 now.They could die here, by the way.

You could W -Flash -Auto -Auto.Oh my god, bot is over, by the way.

Bot is cooked.

No -Flash -Lucian against...No -Flash -Varus, rather, against Jarvan Ryze.

Could be bad.Okay, Kanna.

Wait, he has W in one second.Gets the stun, gets the rock.Gets the mini Gnar here.Oh, he tried to flash also.Nice try by Kanna.Yo, Yehu has a kill angle here on Faker.

If he levels up to 4.

Missed minion now.He actually doesn't have Electrocute, he has Aery.

Alright, the wave's bouncing bot and there's no Flash on Varus, so Yike's gonna lane gank bot to try and save him here.Nice counter gank by Yike, but I don't know if that's enough.He missed his W. Yike is gonna die and give double buffs to...Okay, they're lucky there, KC, because Owner got the kill as he died.If Lucian got double buffs here on a bouncing wave, I think the game would be unplayable.But now it's... still unplayable, but less.

Yeah, Yike missed his W. He missed his first W. I think if he hits his first W, because he's level 4 with 2 points in W, I think he won't have the flash and he'll probably be 1 for 1.Oh my god, the wave's bouncing and Faker's ganking bot.He's dead.He's dead as well.Faker's here.It's another game where the game's over to bot.

The game is just fucked in bot.Pays didn't have the barrier, he didn't have the flash.There's 0 -3 in bot in 4 minutes.4 kills to T1.Oh boy.It's just jungle bot, this is T1, they play bot 2 bot 4 bot.

If you watch the W from Yike here, it misses on Oner I think.

It hits Pace.I think Oner would die now if the W already hit, and Yike could maybe flash out instead of in.

Could be a bit less worse.

Wave's still bouncing.And Jarvan's getting bot crab, so he's quite close to six.If Oner does Gromp here, he could get six, but he wants to cover them.

Solo kill top.

Solo kill top, big solo kill.Oh, solo kill mid as well?No, close.Very close.Faker has Flash here, and he's only at level six in one minion.Well, Kanna is cooking.

Kanna is cooking really hard.He's using Zeus' skin as well.He's a level up in top.Don't look bot CS.Oh boy, I'm not looking at anything bot these days.The health bars, the CS, the KDA, I don't want to look at anything.

I don't want to look at any of it.

I feel like Kanna's had a decent series.Especially in lane phase.

I feel like he's done pretty well against Doran.Really well.Let's have a look at this little fight towards the top side though as the knob back another kills They're just gonna target or in this game, and he does have some goalies here But he is just going they're just gonna target door and beautiful Connor versus the world this game towards your winning lane and the world is great P1 bot lane He's gonna try to reset that wave because he needs to get sneaky owner sneaks around to do that because he has that power Yeah, who has no flash?Yeah, who's gonna?Maybe die here if you want to preserve your health He's checking with Tibbers, he sees Owner.Okay, nice play by Yeik.

Yeik will get the bot crab, god bless.He might get some bot camps as well.Owner is on top side and he saw him.Kariya is pulling the blue buff to slow him down.Yeik didn't see him.do the crab.

Oner just did one grub and crossed and he's gonna get crab and his bot camps.Oh god.No cleanse, don't forget, he has mini ult though.

Oh god, they're gonna 2v3 them.Oh god.

Pays and Carrier are literally 2v3ing them.There's no Varus ult, and now Oner's here.

Oner's here.

Okay, no heal.Everyone's a bit on edge here.Yike goes in.Oner Qs back, flashes out.Everyone's 1HP.Kanna's ran down here.

Oh no, is that f***ing Bucio being Kanna?But he's 1HP.There's Kanna.Nice flash over the combo.Oner will probably die.What?

Oh my god, the Melio Q. And the Varus Q didn't hit.And they're all out.What did Pace just do?I wanna see Pace's POV there.Now Doran's back in the game, kinda.Faker?

What the?Yo, the solo lanes of KC are cooking.Everywhere else is on fire.Faker thought he could EW the Annie there and kill Annie one for one trade.

Two grubs to KC.

Kanna's kind of sacrificed his whole game now.This is sad for Kanna.His bot lane needs to swap so he has to give all his waves to Kalista and let Kalista hit plates while he just zones away Doran.So he can't really play his lane anymore.This game is just...Stand there and hope his Varus can carry and get back in the game.

Oh my god, look at Lucian gold already.1 .9 is gonna be like 2 .5 or 2 .4 or something.shit.After the wave, this Lucian is out of control.He's not pushing the wave, he's scared of getting...Why didn't he push that?

He wants to get the top as quick as possible or what?

Oh, that hit!He's dead.

Three kills to Kana.297 gold is also not bad for the kill.And he gets the tower.Kanna is back.He was already still ahead, but his lead is back.

The KC fans are still chanting.Winnable.It's gonna be fucking impossible, but let's see.On -hit Varus does do damage.He just needs a bit more items.

Kanna is now hexgating bot behind the Yorick who has no flash, but Doran's pretty safe.The Doran dive may be possible, but owner is around is the only risk, but I think they have to dive Doran.Otherwise, they have no place on the map.They're bleeding top plates and their bot lane is getting absolutely bodied for some reason.I don't know how they're here, but they're here and dying.Like they killed Doran, but no one's laning top again.

There's no one laning mid now either.There is just two open lanes, and they killed Doran.Owner is playing a bit cocky here.He ulted the knock -up, but...Oh, that's unlucky they didn't go to Kanna.Owner just trolled.

Ow.

Ow.Ow.That's a two item Lucian in 15 minutes.

Wait.Wait.

Varus ult.Spreads onto Doran.That's another kill for KC.Yike dies, Buzio goes in, lands a root onto Pace, gets a bit of damage down.Ryze ult doesn't get him out.2 for 2.

Look at Kanna's score.

He's 6 -0.What happens if they click to the right here, Casey?No, they go on Faker.Yeah, he has Flash here, Pays.I think if they went to the right, it would be a nothing burger.So I think it's correct that they went on Faker.

There we go.

Now the Europeans can stay away from the jungler.

Much better.

They need to fight this drake here, KC.Busio doesn't have flash.Doran's pushing top with 3P.And for once, T1 will not fight the drake.They will just give it and play the map.They will get gold on Jark, they will Herald mid, they will lose bot tier 1, and they will play the map.

Of course, Pays is the one who gets in the Herald.Oh, nice ult timing from Kalista, but great ult by Kariya.Dorian just got four plates, but Kanna got bot tier one.

Dorian has flash, he has no MR though.

Pays hasn't died yet.

Which I think makes him a bit upset, so I think he's trying to die.

But Kariya's not allowing it.

He's trying to ruin everyone's pickings.Dying to Drake was good, but they lost a lot of gold to it obviously.Kanna's gonna have to carry so much weight on side lanes.He needs to like go, and he needs to fucking...One of these sides.he needs to do so much work on i put doran for highest kda oh there's no drake here but a bot crab is spawning hey that's pretty good though for kc that was a crazy rise He has ult here.

Meganar ult, no flash, Pace.Kanna's carrying the game.And they're gonna get Nash here, KC.Kanna is carrying the entire game.

He's legendary.3k up against T1 on match point.

They just Ryze ulted into a double Annie stun.Doran's just, he's just listening to music and pushing side waves.KC get a Baron.Okay, we won't talk about what Pusio did.

so nicely for T1.

Yeah, I mean, it was a good play here.Busu just gets locked into the cataclysm, tries to flash out late to try to get on pace, can't do it, and they're like, oh, we win.

Great timing by Yehuns.Great timing.

Great play by Kanna, seriously.Unreal.Kanna, KennyCarry.They have Baron here, KC.They want to play on two lanes.

They're going to drop top, give top tier two, and play hard for mid bot, trying to find a fight, get some towers.T1's wave clear is pretty shit.Unless Lucian can really start playing up.Kalista has flash as well.The gold is evening up.Faker is still pushing.

And he's in a base and catch.Tana's fighting FaZe.Jumps out.

Tana may be in trouble here.No flash, no jump.That's a kill.Flash ult from Kariya to make sure.Yehu chases Faker, looks for a solo kill.He can Ryze ult out maybe.

Wow, doesn't even flash, just Ryze ults out with the Seraph.

The Baron is kind of fumbled here from KC.Conor loses his life, not his flash.And Drake's up in 10, so I think Drake is free for T1.

And Annie also flashed and didn't get faker.

And he'll catch up with World of Ages.

Yeah, Conor too far up.He probably thought he was way stronger than he is.Like that Lucian is quite fucking OP.

He needs Randuin's I think.If he has Randuin's he's probably safe.Oner's here though.And Pays is moving up.No flash on Boosio.

They're greeting a bit for this tower.

Okay, Yike E'd the Krug there to get out of the Cataclysm, that was pretty good.This tower should die.And now there's no tower spots so they can catch bots really easily.Is AKC cooking a little bit?Oh my god.That Lucian is a fucking demon.

That Lucian is a demon.Can't un -need Randuin so badly, that Lucian is so fed.You know Doran, they kill the Gnar and he's like NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Interrupting it sounds like a pretty good idea as well, but there were no options.Like, Kanna needs more gold.He's got so much, but he needs Randuin's if he wants to stand any chance in these fights.Okay, back to targeting Doran, when in doubt.

Okay.Actually, Faker's even XP.He's slightly ahead.He must have just caught so many waves.Just Pave's items are ridiculous, man.This is gonna be destructive.

What the?The Crescent Guard comes in as they look to try and use Oner to peel and down he will go to the Jank.

Oh my god, Yehu got one shot.Paze reacted to the Bucio engage.It's a pentakill for Lucian at this point.Oh my god, Paze was ridiculous there.Paze's APM is insane.It's not fair.

This T1 bot lane is so imbalanced.It's crazy.A 3 -0 on KC, really?Man, jungle bot for KC got slammed this series.T1 is 6 -0 now against NA and EU.6 -0.

They had a dinner reservation and it looks like they're going to make it on time.Now they wait to see the bracket unfold because next up is TL versus DCG.Is NA going to get knocked out?Is LCP going to get knocked out with their second seed?

Fucking hell.

That was brutal.That was a brutal watch.

Pays was crazy that game, yeah.

And he didn't die as well, he died once, so the KDA pickups is doing good.

Yeah, KC need to re -watch those games and fix Jungle Bot.

They need to re -watch the games and fix Jungle Bot, because mama mia.the series, he did fantastic there in that last one, but also going back to the Bard game being given the best champions he delivered on every single one.

And he doesn't care if the fight didn't go, it felt like every game was him initiating the action, and I do think it was definitely difficult as one of those players, the games are likecan we share it?Can we like, could have a really cursed Photoshop of both bot laners like combined together?But no, because I do think a lot of what the early action was in the, especially in the Pyke game for me, it was him.But Planes is kind of going as expected.It was just so sick.

It's going to show up in the eventual highlight reel of his career, I feel like.

Yeah, I mean, he was just styling on them.Just some phenomenal play on the pike.What is the weakness to T1 bot lane?If you find out, let me know.Rock solid as a duo and so much trust in each other.Pays, he will dive forwards knowing he has the backing of his support there.

Challenging Kanna who is hyper fed at this point, but he knows Keria has his back.Okay.Hello.Okay.

Okay.

I think he was saying happy birthday Kobe.Well, that was a quick reality check for Europe.Oh my god.This was the bloodiest 3 -0 in international history.We are at the 11th MSI, 16th year of League LoL Esports, and we continue to make records.So many kills, and if you're a KC fan, the opportunity was there.

There were opportunities.I think there's two aspects where they've been the bloodiest series.One, KC put up a good fight despite the series score.

Like, Kana is KC's best player, but their bot lane, KC bot lane has been pretty decent this year.I didn't expect them to get this fucking bodied.

Jungle bot.Jesus.Lord have mercy for what he's just done to them.them.We're all in danger.I'm in danger.

Wait a second, we're still out there too.Everyone's still alive, and again, the fact that T1 do it in a 3 -0 fashion, saving strats not only for potentially later on in the tournament, but that qualifying play -in game, they are one best of five series away from making it into that main stage, and they just look like the best team here.

120 kills in a 3 -0?What?

Worlds last year, and they won Worlds.

I just think right now, with it only being one spot, it looks so tough for these other teams.The fact they still haven't dropped a game, it's messy, but the decisiveness in the team fights, it's just so hard to match.You know, we've seen even HLE in their series in Road to MSI had early leads, and there was that game where T1 just fought their way back from basically nothing, they are a team you cannot disrespect, you cannot give a single window to.

I will say, we're not focusing a lot on it because T1 keep winning, but top lane, maybe we'll focus on that later at some point.Raz, final thoughts?

Oh my god, I thought they needed to warm up a little bit in play.I think they're scorching red hot.They're warming up, that's what warming up looks like.Yeah, that Bunsen burner started immediately, so that's tough.

Yeah, going to be pretty difficult for anyone to stop them.One series away from making it into the main stage.We are seconds away from being joined on stage by that oppo player of the series in the Verizon post -game interview.We're joining Caria.Let's send it on over now.

NSI 2026 Plain Stage Round 2 Winners' Match.

T1 take a perfect 3 -0 victory over Karmine Corp and advance to the next round.Joining us now is team with support, Caria.

Congratulations on the win.Thank you very much.

Since we are in Daejeon, I have to ask you this too.

Caria, do you like bread?I love bread.My Korean.

Especially the recent trend, the trending bread right now is the 3 -0 bread, and I think we were able to bake that up.

Hey, Chef Caria.

And with yesterday's victory combined, how did that 6 -0 bagel you baked taste?

It was really good.I liked it.With this win, you guys moved one more step closer to the bracket stage.

How do you feel after taking down KC?

KC is one of the strong teams and they have a lot of experience.

So we were looking forward to the matchup and I think we were able to have a great game together.

And then in Game 2, KC let your bar through.

How did it feel from your side?Honestly, my recent Bart place was not up to the expectations, so I wish other teams also let it through so that I can practice Bart a little more.

Does anyone see it?I'm on this.

Let's compare the two.Compared to when you first stepped onto the MSI stage in 2022, what do you think has changed the most?

Back then, I really wanted to be the GOAT support, but right now, I can say I am the GOAT support itself.

You are the GOAT support.

Just one more win, you will be heading to the bracket stage.What kind of mindset and ambition will you bring to the next match?So far, it was a double elimination format, so I was not too scared, but next one, we have to lock in, you know?One loss and we're out, so we're gonna lock in.

That is the only that is the only disadvantage of winning too much It sounds very silly but the way the bracket is structured is it doesn't reward you It's just the way league brackets in general are structured, right?Like you can beat KC But then let's say in a random world KC win and then they play against each other and KC wins That's it doesn't matter if you beat KC before they're out.There's no like there's no like third best of five You know, I mean, that's the only like like KC losing the series doesn't matter at all If they just beat DCG or TL now, it only matters next series.This series doesn't really affect it
