The Superteam that Broke the Rules and Changed League Forever 

second to none

plus "for the double, for the ace, for the baron, and the base"

I know I m a year late, but honestly from whatever sports/ esports I' ve followed, Quickshot is by far my favourite caster ever. He always has sharp comments and makes everything that is worth it completely epic. I always felt like he was completely underrated.

As someone who comes from watching CS esports, I never even knew casters and commentators could drop banger lines like these. League's storylines, teasers for matches, and the casting itself is on a different level from the esports I've followed

@@Pyxyty idk, i think cs hype moments are just very different and imo theres a lot of caster moments on the same level as these just in their own way

that's one of those great calls in a sporting event that will probably live on forever

Anyone know what the commentators name is? Fantastic line

Captain Flowers

Quickshot and Captain flowers are the best lolesport casters, change my mind

“Haters be silenced, expectations be damned” “Champions can fall, gods can bleed, where were you when the west rose up to conquer champions” “This is what peak LoL looks like, and it comes from Europe” so many iconic lines from this MSI we probably won’t forget in the near future

Those casters are rap gods. i saw one actually saying a full on freestyle in the semi-final

Did you even watch the video..? It's at 15:09...

@@MadRobloxMan did you? They clearly cut the end of the line out

^this. the best part is missing smh. watched it live and that moment sent shivers down my spine.

@@MadRobloxMan rekt

Ahh but you know why the video didn't explain that? Because they didn't brake anything, it's clickbait to hype the EU crowd, no more no less.

​@@FoxGHosen26 xd just the rest of the world playing after G2 and their playstyle now. You salty NA cringelord

@@lovewavy1080 See, that's the problem with you fanbois everywhere. You assume too much. I can't give two shits about NA or EU for that matter. I'm not a fanboy from anywhere, so go back down to your level and pick a fight with your own ilk and let objectivity prevail. Go on, shoo.

@@FoxGHosen26 i think they 'broke' league not in the sense that now teams try to copy their styles but in the sense that they were one of the firsts to disregard what was going on in the LPL and in the LCK (Korea pretty much dictated every meta since they got their own server) and played what they wanted, the last time something like this really happened and it was successful was back in the days of Moscow5 if there are even people out there who remember those days. Its not entirely true that the world follows G2s playstyle now, both Korea and China differ from the LEC at some points while they are the same elsewhere. One final and a single title is not enough to break the Asian dominance, only if the West can replicate these kind of finishes consistently. The West now holds 2 official international titles (Season 1 Worlds and MSI 2019) while Asia got everything else, its waaaay too early to talk about a western or a staright up european dominance. However I do agree with the original comment: I thought this video was going to explain why and how G2 was able to e.g. play mages bot consistently, flex Pyke into every position and make it work and how you can play funnel in your regions final and still dominate. Instead, we got a glorified montage with a clickbait title so EU fanboys click to celebrate and talk shit about other regions and NA fanboys click to critique and talk shit about EU. Yay.

@Anson Zhao The reason why I count it is because Fnatic is engraved on the Summoner's Cup since the trophy was made in 2012, TPA being the second to be engraved, which means that Riot has always regarded Season 1 as a real Worlds even if Fnatic got their skins later (2015 or 2016 I'm not quite sure) and even if the official name was Season One Championship without the actual word "world" in it.

Well, IG won worlds 2018 with 2 Korean players on their team.

@@JuanDimitry Mark my words, as soon as Jensen gets NA residency, TL will replace Xmithie with some import jungler and thus making TL a team with only one single NA Player and 4 imports.

Those 2 were the best on the team as well, everyone be like "what happen to korea" they simply left lck

@@JuanDimitry rookie spent hell of a lot of years in China, you can't even call him a Korean talent anymore, hes been born and bred Chinese

And a Danish midlaner.

@@ClickHere4Naruto yes we know but this was not even really talked about in the video lmao

or was it to do with overcoming korean and chinese teams to become the best?

@@maxaks2594 they managed to beat skt but havent even played IG and got stomped by fpx, china is stronger than Korea rn imo

@@notdeku9197 And China got boned by Korea too., pretty fun worlds we had in 2020. Honestly it doesn't matter who is ontop, the fact people praise G2 for being....better than average at worlds doesn't really... you know look good, if this is EU's super-team then. . . . rip

They didn't break the rules persay, but rather broke the normal conventions of the game and changed how teams approach recruitment and other aspects

Changing Role is the “Broke the Rules and Changed League Forever”

exactly what I thought the video was going to be about when I read the title

They already have a video about them

If you listined to locodoco's podcast about g2 he was talking about how g2 is the new and better m5.

Emerald City CS where is that video?

wiktoria kłos every team's strategy is influenced by m5. Even g2 uses m5's core strategy. They just do minimal tweaks and that's it. Luckily IG got eliminated or this video won't be made and g2 won't trend at all

Step 4: get 3 0 by lpl and cry on the floor

I’m from the future and step 3 needs to be changed to “Get stomped by a Chinese team again”

@@midorimochi61 you cried? Sad. Its just a game bro.

a year late, but moving a Mid to adc is still relatively bad move on their side, Perkz as a player is always a midlaner, even when it comes to his plays, compared to dedicated ADC players of this generation (like Jackylove of IG back in the day, LWX, who schooled him in the finals of 2019, or a better example the Adc he most recently lost the semis to, Ghost). Perkz Plays like a midlaner regardless of where he is, and it's not like Mikyx is doing anything to Reign him in too, if anything Miky facilitates most of Perkz more aggressive playstyles. if Perkz gets a better support, Maybe he'll be a better ADC. but as it stands he's just an assassin that borrowed a longbow from an archer and thanks to his skill is able to hit a few things, but compared to an actual archer would still look relatively child like. (as what happened when he met Dedicated ADCs that were actually better than him.)

@@harutothefriendlyodst7639 I wouldn’t say he plays as a midlaner but rather that he’s overly aggressive like he always is. You saw him struggle in the exact same way when playing against midlaners that were better than him. He doesn’t have an off switch. It would definitely have been good for him to have a support that kept the aggression in check.

That line was straight heat

Let's look at those irl stats. Oh, hey, London is beating New York in murders now, and is now 45% native white English. Must just be white people oppressing colored people by calling the police after people are -stabbed- culturally enriched multiple times.

flexing on *the world*

They did, now G2 is doing it again. There are plenty of similarities between these two teams.

Moscow five more like Moscow no longer alive. Hehexd FBI gotem good

@yGLeviathan Through their picks, how they play the jungle and especially how they play their bottom-lane. Griffin, TL, SK-T and many more have all gone on record and said G2 influenced them in how they're practicing team-comps and play-styles. It's the same reason why LCK for so many years set the meta. The succesful play-style will be analyzed and understood, and then you will either play towards countering or mastering it.

Every team that wins the most recent international title changes how the game is played. Going into Worlds last year, everyone wanted to be like RNG. Going into MSI 2019, everyone wanted to play like IG. It's just a cycle and will be the same for G2.

Tuffie Tuna pretty sure whoever adopts Nubrak Teemo support middle is going to change how league is played. Kappa

Yeah, and it makes it seem historic despite the fact that it was only like a month ago.

Noah Lee it WAS historic. This is probably the best MSI in League’s history. We saw the defending world champions and the greatest team in history get beat by two teams from the West. Doesn’t get much better than that from a viewer standpoint.

@@jacobwilske5665 You're right, maybe "seem historic" wasn't the right phrase since it really was historic... I think I meant more along the lines of "so epic that it seems like a legend from a long time ago" -esque vibe despite only being a month back?? IDK, kinda hard to describe

and they are incorrect to give na even a 1% chance to beat eu internationally na has never beaten eu or even done better than eu

It really should have been "Superteams"

@@RiotBrosGaming No "superteams broke the rules" its only 1 superteam that flex picked and changed LoL in MSI 2019. That is G2. TL had no answer in the drafts.

@@lukemifsud7219 Okay, did you watch the same video as me. Because as far as the title and content of the video, I assume the rule broken was that western teams dont beat eastern teams. Also, G2 isnt the only team flexing picks, they are just doing it to a higher degree (and arguably to a dumber degree).

@@lukemifsud7219 ig did it first..... TL just played worst against g2.

Or the 2012 Moscow Five?

Hell nah bruh, noone can best the US in sports. We may not be the smartest nation, but we have the best bred athletes. I guess interbreeding works!

Exactly

In bird culture we call this: a clickbait

Thats the thing they didn't change the way the game is played its still played the same way but when g2 plays they force the enemy to play their game they did make pyke top meta tho and TL did that ith lux

@@isaiahmorris9197 tl didnt to it with lux lol. Kr made lux support a thing, and even lux mid wasn't jensen's idea but froggen's. The game did change. A lot.

@@DerpSenpai bruh i mean it is an amazing feat to beat what seemed to be the unbeatable IG(world reigning champions that 2-0 G2 in groups) That deserves a lot of credit as the best upset in league.

João Cardoso they defeated ig they should atleast be given credit?

@@shinjimirou928 The channel considered the two teams as superteams. The changed the game forever one, I don't understand that one.

Maybe we didn't watch the same video, because I definitely saw G2 in this one, being depicted as a "superteam".

Not really. What is more important is that the "control meta" that dominated professional League has been evened out. This MSI G2 was able to play weird picks like Pyke top and simply win despite heavier scaling on SKT's side. But don't forget SKT still pushed it to game 5. With an entire season to figure things out, Worlds 2019 will be the true test to see if Western teams can close the gap. I blame Invictus losing to TL squarely on a lack of preparation. They completely looked past TL, and basically spent all their time preparing for G2 and SKT. TL for their part was focused entirely on beating Invictus. Which translated into the shortest series ever in international tournament when G2 3-0'd them. NA has performed so poorly historically that I think people forgot they are still a major region. I doubt the same mistake will happen at worlds.

@@jyashin If there is no tank meta korea and china blows and i say it here and after worlds end come back here to like this comment if this will happen. G2 and second slot EU team with probably Kikis on their jungle role will play the final at the worlds 2019. xd

@@jyashin actually TL just plays way to basic and there championpool isn't even so big. And then you have g2 who just plays picks that you didn't go against before.

@TheWeeaboo lmao

He said it in 2016 with CLG at MSI & 2018 when C9 took Korea out of worlds

cringe

bO1...

It's not that being second is bad, it's more how they lost against IG to be honest(fastest final in a World championship and they didn't play as well as group stage-quarters-semis Fnatic, as Fnatic took a game off from IG at Group Stage and they were first in their group If I remember well).

Its the same like Liquid in Final its nice they get there but they lost the hunger to win after semifinal and you can see it. Im self european fan but i expected a better figth from fnc at worlds as also from liquid at msi.

@@CanalAleblasco77 They just weren't the same class as IG, they didn't play worse. They had a free pass all the way to finals, with 100T, Grex, EDG, and C9.

@@esportsbulgaria6263 They were 2-1 against them in groups..

Thats what ig did to win haha

IG is looking bad in LPL they might now make worlds

Except they're actually good at the game and yoy are garbage.

Matthew Marshall you*

@@ezrealmain1227 correct, he is garbage

i think that's the big bluff put up by G2 - they look like they're just blokes messing around; but they actually have a really deep grasp of the game and an almost perfect read on the current meta. they also dare to try unconventional strats, bolstered by a confidence in their self-evident mechanical skills. this allows them to get insanely favourable drafts, since opponents can't predict their unconventional picks and can never ban them out; while G2 are free to flex any of the top meta solo lanes around since their laners are all capable of carrying with multiple champs.

G2 didnt play well, TL just played bad.

The thing is, people praise Khan so much but all he plays is toplane bullies like kennen and jayce. pyke is a counter to that cus he just soaks up all the poke and stays healthy, basically making pyke a counter to khan. Literally any pro top laner can win toplane matchups by picking kennen or jayce into melee's. Did Khan even play anything else other than those 2 and maybe neeko?

@@neeko708 yeah, basically evrything from Hashinshin hate list is in his champ pool xd

@@neeko708 agreed. Skt's coach really needs to step up because almost all their drafts are really bad and skt's macro in the early game is horrendous which is what all the teams that've won against them so far capitalise on and snowball the game such that skt cant win anymore without their occasional game changing teamfight. But besides that theres also the fact that khan is pretty subpar as far as a Korean player goes. The only games he has done very well so far are mostly when hes on either riven and fiora, much like all the soloq one tricks u see all over. He also doesn't even really synergize well with the team honestly. I've always thought that they should really swap him out for another top laner and skt might see a comeback as one of the top teams.

UMA JAN Late game starts at level 1

@@Roflmao6173 i rly want Duke to be SKT T1 Top laner. His flex picks were awsome and he was beast on Tankko

Well not really rules... more like trends (rules sound catchier though). First of, every time you had a "super" team anywhere it turned out to fail horribly. Second, that is arguably more of a rule, but they do not play standard meta, they play Pyke ADC with mage toplane and assassin mid, while having some obscure off meta jungler and it just works for them.

basically its not a rule as it means, it's the rule about asia always win international events, they explained it onto the video.

Allan Patrick Murmann Knebel still technically true since worlds is basically lol’s TI

EU and NA is just dead their top seats cant even beat 2nd or third seat of lpl and lck its just LPL VS LCK now
