Don't think the dude cares. He has "Chill with the subscriptions can't handle it" plastered on the top left of his stream and there's donos saying he's streaming for the first time in like a month. Looks like he just sometimes streams while playing for fun rather than actually taking it seriously.
@@kalai3924 Midbeast could pick someone else to highlight. The dude cannot pick to be highlighted. The league highlight channels generally feature already popular streamers, not no-name challengers (regardless of how good they are), so if it wasn't for people like midbeast, they would never blow up in the west.

no hate on Midbeast but I think there is a lot of hate for league and like a lot of people are quitting the game; is it profitable for him to still be doing this?
judging on first game he probably plays so fucking passive tbh he did nothing this first game if you're gonna play like this then just picking orianna or something makes much more sense to me
And remember, Korean masters are full of pros already, normal NA challs cant even reach there. Korean Plat 2-1 are equal NA masters already. Just look at the gap that we see how insane it is.
Wow this guy is a genius. During that first dual he sent the zoe-bubble under turret on purpose to force Viego to fight. He intentionally missed in order to force Viego into a corner. I never would have thought of that lol. His ability to whittle down his opponents escape options is probably why his early game is so strong.
First game he was chatting how rakan was throwing which basically almost led the game to 15 gg. Also, Kaisa was played by a pro player Prince from Liiv sandbox
i don't play league anymore. i rarely watch pro play. i've watched every midbeast main channel vid in the last 6 months and I wasn't trying to keep up or anything. In his own words: "This man is just a pleasure to watch."
Love the videos, been watching them for a while now. I will say it has helped me learn a lot. Maybe move the rune page off mini map after like 3 minutes or you go over them? Much love
@@jaqui7046 akali is literaly a pocket pick for me nothing else her shroud yes is unbalanced but at least she doesent have rng summoner 3km ranged auto attack and needs to get close and combo you not auto attack you to death
Had to rewatch the first 2:15 minutes like 3 times.... So he literally only Q's the wave and kills Veigo with straight Auto attacks and W. No E no Q. So thats why I lose as Zoe, I'm trying to land skill shots instead of just landing 10 empowered autos. The 10 empowered Autos will probably happen before the 1st Q lands.
Zoe is my favorite to play because of her early sustain and damage. With corrupting pots you can outtrade any champ level 1-2. You should almost always get first blood as a Zoe. Plus her movespeed is insane. Couple with the fact that Zoe W is the best ability in the game IMO, with infinite summoners and punishing your opponent for using theirs. I prefer to take nimbus cloak for the extra move speed over more biscuits though.
Midbeast if you look at his most played he also plays a LOT of Leblanc he had 300-400 games on it this season. He's more like a 2 or 3 trick which is the craziest part. Maybe a Leblanc review next from this guy?
Imo, Zoes power grows with your teams skill. The better your team is in general, the stronger zoe gets, exponentially. You can see them, the moment zoes bubble hits and they have an opening, they go in. STOP ATTACKING to wait for zoes Q to clap the champ and keep engaging. Same for alot of other situations in that first game. It really feels like, zoe knowledge + teams understanding on how she exactly works bumps up zoes power by 10 fold.
Drew has said "I myself have over a thousand games on X champion" for almost every single champ in the game, some of them upwards of 4000. Like dude...
the first kill represents what I hate about zoe. When playing a squishy mage like anivia she can kill you with basically just auto attacks (post 6 with a lost chapter at the latest). If you can't kill her first you get destroyed and using summoners only empowers her.
@@zac1443 Apart from the fact that at any point in the lategame a sleep bubble on a squishy means death. Not gonna argue that she is op, she can easily get abused by the jungler or by picking tanks/assassins. But when playing a mage, which would be my preferred mid pick, she can be supremely annoying.
i can assure you that low Master and Challenger 1750 LP is a muuuuch bigger difference than silver 3 and plat 4. Much more like silver 3 and High Diamond. Because as a former silver 3 player myself (not anymore, thanks drew!), i sometimes played against platin players because my MMR was high and there is no difference. Only a bit better decision making maybe.
im a lowly gold player and his awareness to not chase viego into the river brush is mind boggling, it's that kind of hesitation i need to just int one less death.
Hello middle beast, what would be really interesting I think is if you did kind of a double review for some of these matchups - talked about what both players were doing well instead of just one and how they're trying to play into each other. Just a thought:)
39:30 that shot at scarra hahaha, a lot of common game knowledge nowadays were developed during those days though, so it’s hard to say how these mid laners would do back then
"Mages have horrible items" yeah there's totally nothing wrong with ludends, sorcs, void staff putting mr in the negatives and doing beyond true damage. Or ever frost being the only HARD CC ITEM IN THE GAME. The closest then ad has is seryldas.....which is just rylais. And wheres the AD Zhonyas? The closest thing is GA and that's nowhere near as strong
They are crying on reddit that mages are weak meanwhile mr is useless when they buy the magical40%mr mr ludens gives pen from items cdr and mana totaly not overtuned
Honestly I think they need to look at reworking her W. She isn't necessarily OP, but being able to get mythic actives at lvl 2, for something as easy as killing minions is kind of ridiculous. Before the mythic items, the actives weren't as strong so it was a bit more balanced. Getting spooky ghosts is not quite as good as getting a protobelt lvl 2.Maybe decrease the time she can hold the active by a bit, or have it be harder than last hitting a minion to get the active.
can anyone explain to me why the zoe player pushes the first two waves instead of cheater-recalling? if the viego didnt get so low the wave setup would have done nothing right? viego pushes out and gets to move to scuddle (i dont know if junglers meet) Is the poke under the turret worth sacrificing cheater recall or first move for scuddle?
spamming Fkeys is overrated imo, people who did that seasons ago just stuck with it but for someone who never used they dont do it. I just hover my map and I can do it very fast and very aware of the map and players as I look at hp often. Great player that zoe tbh
I dislike saying this but the amount of skill actually required to make yourself truly feared on Zoe especially against better players is nothing short of insane because Zoe isn't even as strong as she once was so you basically have to land everything to pull it off correctly most of the time.
With zoe when you're starting there are players who have a great gasp on her in your face brawling and other players who are skilled with her sniping. She's so hard to play well cause nobody starts off skilled with her in both areas. I always get off great e's and q's through the walls but totally crumble under pressure when people are close up to me. Always really incredible to see the zoe's that can achieve both. Something to note is he never uses E long range.
Thanks for your commentary man! really helpfull. Based on your comments about item builds etc, I think that might be your weak-point. His item choices aren't weird at all to me, that might suggest that you can still improve your own choices too. Rabadon is almost never better before voidstaff.

Good catch. You can see his quick redirect when aiming the e.
