Now that I think about it, would of been cool to have commissioned Skarner artwork just for the thumbnail Edit: I was going to ask Riot if they would allow me to playtest reworked Skarner and make a video on him before anyone else (I have no idea if they are even set on a kit yet) as an idea for a video. I really doubt they would of said yes, but who knows what could have been (The video would probably of not happened for another 6 months to a year depending on how fast they even rework him)
Ok, this might be the best possible way to end the series. As sad as it is to see the climb end, Garrett can now finally rest knowing Skarner is officially a pekin-approved mid-laner. Edit: Finished, and now ik it's still going. Yippeeee
If you do get to masters, it would be really cool to see a follow up video explaining your thoughts on what Off-Meta picks you used that felt good and what ones didn't, if any. You could make it a tier list even, lol
I want to see the legend himself, Garret where are you mang. We need the see how you felt watching Pekin finally got to your request for a special moment.
This video is incredible. Please continue this series or create another like it with off-meta champions, I've never been so entertained by a league of legends channel before. Great work!!
Its actualy quite opposite, someone needs to begg him for 571days its an insult..and to brag about it..fan begged me for 571 days.. human trash nothing nice here
That was super fun to watch, thank you so much Pekin for this video and for the series. I'd love to keep watching you climb, whether off meta or not and no matter which lane. Really appreciate the time and effort that goes into series like these. 🎉❤
I really appreciate how many things you tried to make work while climbing during this series. All those games that didn't get posted. Thank you for your dedication to high quality uploads!
1:26:15 Pekin thought Viktor was very important, not only Zeri, as the toxic Lulu said. Than in the middle of the 5v5 chaos, as soon as he got a sample of Viktor dmg, he changed his mind -> flash ulted Zeri The only thing that seems to correlate to rank in LoL is cognitive flexibility. The ability to change your mind with new info. ... tldr: that play was kinda nice
Pekin i love your videos, i watch em over and over and i’m never tired of ‘em!! If they are longer (1or 2 games together) it’s even better😂 keep up the good work ❤️
2:24 I’m watching you not the champion or the win/lose games, dw about it. Your commentary is soothing, helps me sleep. I like when you play high elo, the video becomes exciting and the match looks so fun to watch.
I'm literally so proud of this guy's dedication and Pekin's ultimate follow through. This is the only side of the league community I'll ever exist on (even though I quit the game long ago).
The Lee Sin was obviously cracked but honestly, I think the big play of that game was the Wukong double killing Glasc and Zeri while your bot laners were busy bickering, thus forcing them to shut up and play the game. Godly. Edit: seriously though that Lee Sin was like an actual monk in a kung fu movie. Didn't say a word all game, only used pings, ignored the flame, secured every objective, slaughtered the enemy team, and then danced on the victory screen. Legend.
Just gotta say, this recent content is my favourite so far. I LOVE the off-meta picks. I play aram mostly so it's nice to get some info on these other champs you don't normally play. I hope you keep doing stuff like this in the future. (=
Gg. I watched it all! This series has been really fun! Wp! I think the Blitz jungle, Ivern mid and Illaoi mid were my favourites. Hehe I'm glad this man got his Skarner mid. I wonder how grandmaster is gonna be. Ty for the content!
Congrats on a successful off-meta climb! I really, really loved this series not only for how fun it was to see random stuff, but how educational it is on seeing champs from a different perspective from where they're normally played. Would love more climb stuff like this in the future if possible~ On another note: God the Lulu in the 3rd game was obnoxious. Imagine if they used all that typing energy to actually shot-call instead of throwing a tantrum anytime anyone does anything remotely different than what they're thinking. True manchild energy.
@@unchiez1722 Clearly they do something at least half decent to be able to get to Masters at all. Support doesn't = free wins. Let's not pretend logic doesn't exist just because the player is obnoxious haha.
super fun series!!! sad the gwen vids never saw the light of day because i’ve been asking for that since the start LOL excited for the climb to continue!!!
This was the perfect way to end the series to Masters and even if you extend it further good for you. Congrats to Garrett for getting the vid at long last! GG
Dude you are amazing, I really just love every single video you post on youtube (including your second channel of course). Please let me know, if you‘re ever coming to Switzerland, would be fun to have a quick chat face to face with you ✌🏼
THAT was a great series! This video is a great example you like your fans, guy asks forever for a pretty ridiculous pick and you reward him with not one BUT three games IN PROMOS. Gotta love PEKIN!
Pekin, you Legend. I'd almost believe you planned this for the last year. :D This is the perfect 'ending', though I hope you keep playing off-meta and see how high it climbs. Personally I'd rather you keep playing the weird stuff rather than a limited champion pool, even if that stays Master.
When you get to GM and you are searching for what to do next, instead of finding a new role you could keep up the off meta mid climb but only play champions from one different lane. Like "Oops All Junglers" in the mid lane to GM, and then you got 4 full series setup and ready to go. I'm loving the stuff!
was fun to watch the off meta picks! congrats to master :) I would still love to see you pick a pool of champs and play them off meta style. also the "good losses" of it
Did Pekin get First Blood? Jeez this is a long video First game: nope. Enemy Tryndamere got it around 4:35 Second game: nope. Enemy Zeri got it around 29:52 Third game: nope. Enemy Zeri (again) got it around 58:14 Win Streak: 0 Highest Streak: 3 Total games registered: 11
We do love this series, we do love longer videos. im almost a little bit disappointed when i see 20ish minutes on your videos, just saying. So now that "climb to the masters"has ended, My favorite was Hecarim mid as i was the one suggested it and you did GREAT with it-as expected. then Fiddle...then Ahrii... then.... actually, nevermind. i just love them all! and im so happy that your videos doing well and that you will continue to climb! Thank you!
This has been a great series to watch, happy to see it continuing. Don't think shotgun sona would work for the grandmaster climb but I am still holding out hope
I actually run ap skarner, I go roa abyssal mask hourglass as core, sunfire demonic etc to finish build. Catalyst of aeons is good lane item for his passive hunting playstyle, and roa gives nothing but stats that let you spam huge shields with w. For runes I go grasp page with shield bash to help with drain tanking and flat damage to squishies
The bit at the very end just shows how fucking hard it is to get out of gold. Even a challenger can't carry their asses if they dont wanna win lol. Pekin climbed out eventually but jesus christ those lost streaks in gold were horrid.
that wukong is the same one that clutched out that illaoi mid game iirc just keeping his head down and performing while teammates are mental booming ig
You can instatly tell a better skarner player by their ult movement. 8:30 already tells me you have an idea how to play this guy 9:40 when you hit your E, attack the marked minion first to get movespeed and shorten the cd The E -> R -> E combo was ruined by the new items sadly It’s better to go for E max (i don’t have statistics for that, but feels better) - does suprsingly a lot of damage and is a much better clear and cc tool On trinity + manamune (with E max) you oneshot most people
Did Pekin play Skarner mid? Yes.
Win Streak: 1!
My life is complete. I can die with no regrets. It's been an honor soldiers.

i was here o7
Time to winstreak to 571

Your win is our win.
GG WP SIR!

No, we did it.
But you didn't do anything 😮
what did he do, pheasant bird. we did it. congrats to us. *pats back. good job us

It’s peak storytelling that Garett’s request was made for the final video to masters. What a climax 😢
as the vi mid person, congrats to the skarner mid person

Vi mid player 💀 you have candy.
Now we are waiting for another hero
as the kindred mid person, congrats to us all
@@Alim-tx5vc it's a videogame
"When the world needed him the most, he vanished"
GARRET MAN WHERE ARE YOU?? THIS IS YOUR MOMENT
Im so proud of this dudes dedication
I am too, but to need for 571 days just tell us who this man is...a trash a pekintrash
I always see his comments, this got me teary eyed when I saw the title. He made it man.
what did he do, pheasant bird. we did it. congrats to us. *pats back. good job us..
Meanwhile Rito -"A fans asked for Skarner Rework for 4271 days, its time to delay it again."
Gratulations for the guy who always asked for the Skarner Midlane ! :)
If you do get to masters, it would be really cool to see a follow up video explaining your thoughts on what Off-Meta picks you used that felt good and what ones didn't, if any. You could make it a tier list even, lol

What, why are you surprised we'd watch the whole video? :0
Anyways i watched the whole video and can confirm its a certified Pekin Classic.
this is such a feelgood story, also shows how much of a good guy Pekin is
so sweet!
Its actualy quite opposite, someone needs to begg him for 571days its an insult..and to brag about it..fan begged me for 571 days.. human trash nothing nice here
@@georgi1905u good chief? 💀
Can you just uhhh...do this all again 😅
I love this series so much!
I'm so glad he went into his promos with 69 wins
I'm so glad you finally did this, I been wanting to see this for ages.
NO FUCKING WAY YOU MUSTVE MADE THAT GUYS WEEK DAMN, that’s such a good opportunity to make the Skarner vid omg you’re amazing
Yes! Thank you so much Pekin! And many thanks to the fan who didn't give up!
That was super fun to watch, thank you so much Pekin for this video and for the series. I'd love to keep watching you climb, whether off meta or not and no matter which lane.

that lulu in game 3 couldn't absolutely shut up at all jesus christ.

i really appreciate that you did this! congrats to that skarner fan!
was so anxious to know that watched it a x2 speed xD didnt want to spoil by just looking at the end of the video.
great series, favorite so far.
No way he finally did it 😮
Took you long enough damn he isnt the only one whos been asking to see it this is literally a dream come true
I'm literally so proud of this guy's dedication and Pekin's ultimate follow through. This is the only side of the league community I'll ever exist on (even though I quit the game long ago).
I'm really glad it helped your channel. It's been super interesting climb!
1:08:05 The lulu writing in chat right after you saying the same thing was so funny
This is probably the best video you ever made. The promo games, finale to this series and SKAR SKAR SKARNER MID!
The Lee Sin was obviously cracked but honestly, I think the big play of that game was the Wukong double killing Glasc and Zeri while your bot laners were busy bickering, thus forcing them to shut up and play the game. Godly.

Congratz! While I'm happy for you to achieve it so quickly, I'm also a little sad to see this series end 😄
I loved the theme behind this video. Very entertaining, thanks.
Just gotta say, this recent content is my favourite so far. I LOVE the off-meta picks. I play aram mostly so it's nice to get some info on these other champs you don't normally play. I hope you keep doing stuff like this in the future. (=
What a beautiful way to end the run!
Pekin couldn't have done it better in any other way. Congrats to both him and Garett. Well deserved!
i love playing and watching off-meta picks, so this is my jam. Thanks Mr Woof
Gg. I watched it all! This series has been really fun! Wp! I think the Blitz jungle, Ivern mid and Illaoi mid were my favourites. Hehe I'm glad this man got his Skarner mid.

This is a momentous occasion 👏 Congrats man, the hero we didn't know we needed
It feels like yesterday when you played Skarner last. Damn time flies
You did it! Congratz @Gareth Hafeli! BIG
Also please sing my petition down below.
We want you Pekin to continue the climb up to challenger!
I've been really enjoying this series, but I especially love that you saved a long-time fan request for a promo game. 🤓
AND HE PREVAILS! SKARNER MID POGGERS
Dude, I feel so happy for him. :D
I know the GM and Challenger grind isn’t the most fun, but i love this series, I hope you can atleast keep a off meta video out once a week
THAT was a great series! This video is a great example you like your fans, guy asks forever for a pretty ridiculous pick and you reward him with not one BUT three games IN PROMOS. Gotta love PEKIN!
I watched the whole thing Pekin. Excellent series!
Congrats dude! And finish with scarner mid was just the icing on the cake😊
Pekin, you Legend. I'd almost believe you planned this for the last year. :D
This is the perfect 'ending', though I hope you keep playing off-meta and see how high it climbs.

The finale to the series we needed. Love it Peck!
Pekin, you’re too good for this world ❤
Did Pekin get First Blood? Jeez this is a long video
First game: nope.
Enemy Tryndamere got it around 4:35
Second game: nope.
Enemy Zeri got it around 29:52
Third game: nope.
Enemy Zeri (again) got it around 58:14
Win Streak: 0
Highest Streak: 3
Total games registered: 11
what did he do, pheasant bird. we did it. congrats to us. *pats back. good job us!!

First skin I ever bought in League was Sandscourge Skarner, the nostalgia and excitement is PEAK!
Pekin loves his community and it shows! Best league youtuber and streamer
This has been a great series to watch, happy to see it continuing. Don't think shotgun sona would work for the grandmaster climb but I am still holding out hope
pekin - just keep going. Off-meta to Challenger. I'm here for the full ride bb!
That Lulu-Aphelios Drama at around 1:22:00 was something else xD
Im not done watching pekin, its just late and i have to work early but ill watch the second two games tomorrow.
Pekin: Thats where my spires are.
My brain: SLAY THE SPIRE!
I actually run ap skarner, I go roa abyssal mask hourglass as core, sunfire demonic etc to finish build.

Enjoyed the climb, looking forward to more !
Good job, Garrett!
Wow I’m so happy for this guy
The Milio clutch at 15:59 was SPICY, goddamn
When you’ve been challenger so long you didnt know it was 3 promos instead of 5
The bit at the very end just shows how fucking hard it is to get out of gold. Even a challenger can't carry their asses if they dont wanna win lol. Pekin climbed out eventually but jesus christ those lost streaks in gold were horrid.
One for the history books. Thanks Pekin!
Remember guys not played doesbt equal bad. Skarner is a decent champ.
Aww, this is such a cute way to end the series
This is the biggest skarner news since skarner came out
Awesome video. Interesting to see how you play a weak pick in an unfavourable matchup
Also, congrats on reaching masters. On top of being such a great guy, ur pretty cracked. ^^
7:06 Not getting that cannon hurt my soul
Great series Pekin!
that wukong is the same one that clutched out that illaoi mid game iirc
just keeping his head down and performing while teammates are mental booming ig
man you're very underrated. idk why
Aww, Pekin told me good job for watching the whole video :3
i was worried garrett missed day 332 so i commented it for him once and i see it here lmaoooo
What a plot twist, almost like the Vi mid guy. What a way to end the series and his quest for Skarner mid
You can instatly tell a better skarner player by their ult movement. 8:30 already tells me you have an idea how to play this guy
9:40 when you hit your E, attack the marked minion first to get movespeed and shorten the cd
The E -> R -> E combo was ruined by the new items sadly
It’s better to go for E max (i don’t have statistics for that, but feels better) - does suprsingly a lot of damage and is a much better clear and cc tool
On trinity + manamune (with E max) you oneshot most people
This is the biggest day in skarner history
