This is the most insightful video I've ever seen about how meta and matchups work. Covering everything from picks/counterpicks, jungle pathing, lane prio, invades, lane swaps and more. GIVE ME MORE OF THIS CONTENT!!!
this video encapsulates the beauty of league. its not the individual matchups or a champion or a role imo, its the fact that everyone is essentially playing 5d chess and the team that wins is the team that can function the best as a squad
This video gave me flashbacks of blonde caedrel from 2020 and 2021 back when i started watching him for his draft analysis. Feels nice to watch this type of content which feels like a Nostalgia of sorts for me personally because this type of content is there now also but compared to before its on the lesser side. This is what got me hooked to caedrel and his videos, hopefully we get lot more of these during worlds.
Crazy to think how more than a decade ago, players didn't have a coach on stage and had paper notes for all this stuff. I remember watching the lcs and meteos was considered quirky for having a big notebook for pick / bans.

It's crazy, I play this game for over 12 years and still, sometimes I can't follow what people like caedrel talk about. I still don't know what the perks of playing blue side or red side are etc. It's so fascinating to see how deep this game really goes.
I understand why you said "we say we want indepth analysis content but you really dont" since the majority dont spend time daily on the micro and macro elements of proplay or keep up with the updates and news and meta, but for people that do, these types of content always feed us on a silver platter. Thanks for content Sally 💯💯💯💯💯
I lilke how Caedrel describes what an idea of the draft entails for the team that is drafting. As what LS is also trying to say, there are themes that a team comp is trying to do, and if one pick misses the identity of the team comp, now counters open up as weaknesses for that team comp
As my opinion, this video is amazing and full of detail what we can apply to our games in league. I'm amaze by Caedrel for what he did and give to us about everything he knows. Thank you Pedro! It's very helpful for me❤
I don't care about a Syndra and LeBlanc meta with AP mage oneshots. I'm just so sick of seeing ADCs in Mid in pro, anything fresh is good. And Orianna is one of the most fun champs to watch in Pro, no competition.
@@Axusline27 fr ADCs mids were at least something new, and most mid pros enjoyed it for that reason. However I hope we get a melee mid meta. Let me see Yone Akali Sylas Yasuo. I'll hate it in solo q but fuck it
Tristana and Ezreal mid are fun to watch, change my mind. Corki was more fun when he dealt magic damage, but him and Smolder are both boring (now) I agree.
more like a Faker patch. when syndra came out Faker is the best syndra in the world and also a Leblanc legend- Faker's first penta is with leblanc. Dom already confirmed and agreed with this
It makes me kind of happy that when I heard him talk about the midlaners. I thought it would be showmakers meta and when he said he thought so too i felt so validated that the years of me playing league we got tot he same conclusion. This game is awesome except for solo q loll
Jarvan into Lee is eaaaseh. Early access to hard cc. Mid game is leveled but you can hit EQ through multiple players while Lee has to line R. A lot more utility the longer the game (perma vision without having to hit anything).
KT would have carried on this meta what a waste... It could have finally been BDD's year. He knew that as well he was the only one that cried when they lost Worlds qualifying match. Pyosik has na experience + worlds x1 + hes just a menace on ad junglers. Deft carried his lpl run + worlds x1. Beryl worlds x2 + experience/knowledge in general. Perfect is a rookie with low mental/confidence but is smart and can play high level. BDD's been playing for almost as long as Faker and Deft. Hes won lck twice before. He fkin SHINES in AP mid. he finally finds players he has synergy with. KT was super inconsistent and people may call his teammates frauds but... My man BDD... maybe next year king
My question watching this is: As a coach do you go through pairing matrixes of synergies when and match ups with your player that you can fill as well using proplayer matches. And then once you essentially have a knowledge graph of champion synergies and match ups have a programme run the graph and suggest optimal picks and bans ?
I’d been wondering if there would be any mid lane melee assassin champs if we’re getting a traditional mage meta. Zed, Fizz, Ekko, maybe even a real throw back to Kha’zix. Especially with the fleet footwork buff for melee.
not just Yone in 2023, he had the Gwen too. Remember Zeus was countering Aatrox since 2022 with Yone. But he had no answer for it if Yone was banned. Then 2023 Zeus was insanely good with Aatrox and had like 2 counter picks for it
I hate the meta we have had for so long this year, but I hate more that they completely change everything for the tournament that matters most. These teams didn't get here on these playstyles.
Worlds shouldn't be about who's been the best all year it should be who's the best at the moment scrambling the meta and making teams adapt makes it actually interesting. Especially with how boring adc mid meta has been.
the difference with this and drafting your champ in solo queue is pros have a whole coaching staff to help them with this information, and they only need to know how to play the match up
Also strategies too. Good luck telling your 4/0 botlanes to swap top and secure grubs. SoloQ is just a big cluster fuck while pro is much more controlled
faker hasnt played syndra for so long, but i still remember skt vs kt when nagne and score was on kt and nagne was playing leblanc that game and faker on syndra and he made a mega play from river to mid, this was literally years ago, doa and monte casting that game. hopefully its like riding a bike for faker and he can pick up syndra again if the worlds meta needs him to
If Syndra is countered by Ekko and Fizz for the reasons he stated then that means Akali is just as bad for her. Irelia is another off meta mid pick that can do very well into Syndra as well.
I dont like when the meta shifts pre worlds because are we even getting the best teams and players in that meta. Rookie for example is crazy good on the mages that will supposedly be meta, but was forced to play adc's all season
i like when caedrel says “this game is a good example” and then youtube searches the exact game from an obscure series from 6 years ago and then clicks the exact timestamp that the example happens. 8:10
ahh yes the 1000th orianna syndra mid meta. So exciting. Farming poke mages who just CS all game and decide game in late game 5v5. Fun to watch fun to play.
Even though you said Showmaker patch; this is pretty much faker's confort zone, isn't it? Ori, Taliya, Syndra, Azir (?) Dunno how Azir is doing, but I know it's playable vs immobile mages (premiere blind picks of the patch);
@@kubotite9168 I also think too but meta-wise, he's definitely bad. Laning phase is horribly hard and the new buffed one-shotters carry-mages are way better than him. Imo, Azir is likely not going to be picked at Worlds at all and it'll revolve around Syndra, Yasuo, Oriana and Leblanc.

Plus just the out of the match yapping just keeps u entertained whole series.
He made me enjoy league competitive play again ngl. Hope riot appreciates him as much as we do!
Remember the time 5 supp champs were banned against T1? Anything can happen. I wish to see a diverse meta at worlds, as well as some bonkers picks.
I started watching lck, msi and worlds livestream bc of him. I only watch replays on yt before bc of busy sched etc.

T1 meta is back. Especially for Faker where Syndra, Ryze, Ori, and Leblanc.
Faker hasn’t played the new Syndra on stage yet right?
Faker meta is azir ahri so not really
he hasnt play syndra ever since her rework tho
It seems more like faker is spamming asol, smolder and yone , looking at his match history for 2 weeks now. 🤔
Would love to see his Riven mid again.
Bro just randomly got a game more than 5 years ago in worlds where syndra vs ekko was played. 🔥🔥🔥
Not randomly, Shizuke (spelling?!) was famous for his Ekko
This man is a treasure
nocap if canyon was still on dwg they would clear this meta

And then once you essentially have a knowledge graph of champion synergies and match ups have a programme run the graph and suggest optimal picks and bans ?
You can't do that on stage so my guess would be that you'd do it yourself by head / using your notebook
I’d been wondering if there would be any mid lane melee assassin champs if we’re getting a traditional mage meta. Zed, Fizz, Ekko, maybe even a real throw back to Kha’zix. Especially with the fleet footwork buff for melee.
but these really depend on the lineup otherwise become utter useless in wrong lineup
@@johnlau6749 Oh I agree 100%. The composition has to complement.

professional yapper
That's literally what casting and streaming are.
The very best yapper, i could listen for hours
i hope he'll talk about worlds finals g5 draft, not banning & picking lux was one of the best plays ive ever seen lowkey
All this just to see Smolder, Corki, Tris whole tournament 😂😂😂😂
i pray to good Knight pops of in this meta. It is like perfectly made for him!
not just Yone in 2023, he had the Gwen too. Remember Zeus was countering Aatrox since 2022 with Yone. But he had no answer for it if Yone was banned.

Sett also counters yone and can be flexed, his items are pretty good rn
but don't pick like T1 sett last time tho. Remember T1 Sett lose the game so badly?
Looking positive for Knight allez

Syndra hasn't change much I'm sure he is still very good... So will be his Ryze and LB
Imagine if the all solo queue players in league have a 10% of Pedro's knowledge this game could be the absolute Cinema
wolf: mf no problem

I just know caedrels chat spamming ABOBA for 26 minutes straight
the laning phase for Syndra is not that fine into Fizz or Ekko actually, she basically can never use her E
kinda shocking that faker only has 10 syndra games, that's less than 1% of his games
Bro if homie was a coach mfs would be #1
Jiizuke ekko is dearly missed
Don't forget about the Yasuo counters into TF and Ahri.
Edit1: Also Yasuo can always be played with the right comps especially if J4 is Meta.
something similar to T1 vs TES in game 4 during EWC finals
Showmakers WR on TF is 85%
i mean there is a reason why he has a skin for him
That's pre rework Syndra, Showmaker thought the reworked one is weak
