@IWDominate love this content, looking forward for probably last for season? Are you planning to keep doing shorter episodes during off season and will you keep making these in S10?
So I started watching those Facecheck episodes since Worlds started and I gotta say, I'm fairly surprised and admirative of IWD's analysis and objective point of view. He's probably one of the least subjective guys out there and it's quite enjoyable.
He actually knows the game really well. When watching worlds he basically knew what G2 would draft against SKT and vice versa. He’s very knowledgeable with the games.
I've had his commentary on over riots broadcast for every match I've watched live. I think he's the best since they kicked Monte to the curb. He just doesn't sugar coat or fake hype which I appreciate a lot.
As someone from EU and not beeing a fan of Doms ingame persona, i must admit that i realy enjoy this League Podcast the most.Listen Loco goes up and down depending on which Guest is there and Travis thing is just meh beside MarkZ.
OG facecheck is too good, I remember there was an episode where they didn't believe that someone who is attending Harvard would watch their podcast and I always wondered if they knew that medical students and future doctors watched their shit as well lol.
43:30 TLDR; -Most mid laners play the lane -DoinB plays the map Nemesis lookin like the guy who is telling the victorious enemy mid "1v1 me bro" in post game lobby
They booted his ass for being non-committal. He was being the kid that puts his name on the group project when all he did was talk about where the group is going to meet one time.
Captain RGB Damn when thehsy and jackey got caught in g4 and lost ig the series the twitter person shouldve gone to rookie and said to him that was the normal summoners rift experience
The big question is how good is fpxs akali? Because they banned it themselves 80% of the time and so did g2. And gimgoon has 1 game of her all year and doinb has 0. So g2 should be able to ban ryze+quiyana + x on blue and ofc panth+those 2 on purple. And ryze and quiyana seem like biggest carry threats. And on blue im pretty sure ryze would be last ban because g2 showed they think he is 1st pickable.
It was so good that they discussed the SKT press conference. As someone who watches major sport conferences like basketball or football, that was so bad from the way the journalist conducted the interviews and the questions being asked. I was surprised that SKT did not complain to Riot about how that was conducted. The way that was conducted made esports journalism look like a complete joke ran by a bunch of school kids.
And the counter to Nautilus mid I think is the best one is probably just morgana. her dmg falls off quite a bit but if you have 3 or 4 other guys on dmg champs it shouldnt be a problem. Also on redside she still answers the naut mid support flex, which fpx obviously uses since crisp played a ton of naut. And since the main think naut mid does imo is was setup ganks and push and roam early and give a unique cc (q making you out of position and r being guaranteed knockup on non zhonya target). And morg denies all of that for the whole game and ap naut might break shield but can't really, the e usually won't be enough or in range. Also donger can work (likes zhonya, great but risky push, can block q which is a large portion of the naut dmg) but even if caps plays everything I wouldn't expect that one. But still I think he will have a counter and morg might be it, it is an awful matchup and a flex pick.
I would enjoy you guys to review teamfights. I know most of you probably do it on your own channel but it would help supporting your claims and I think could make the show even more interesting to watch.
G2 is so good because their carries always get gold. Like they position their macro so well that either perkz or caps will always catch side waves so they get farm and scale. It is awesome. They are awesome. Go G2 from NA!
The thing i find really interessting about Perkz's playstyle on Xayah is the confidence in himself to properly abuse the cooldown windows, where he can free autos off and lay feathers. It's like taunting a Malphite, with ult up: "i know you can ult me, but i have the reaction to (flash or R), so good luck"
At a high level it becomes a almost one combo pick. Hook into elise E is a nearly guaranteed killed which makes it super strong in pro play when a numbers advantage can be exploited. Also its a nearly unbeatable dive mechanism between elise repel and thresh lantern. The comp excels at laning phase, diving and split push comps.
lol I think it's a bit weird to assume that League is such a complex game that coaches, who coaches professionally, is not able to know/understand the intricacies of the game. Maybe temporarily on some matchups at the start of a patch, but other than that they're not beneath the players imo
Just a guess: Spotify pays alot less per play than TH-cam (no adds on Spotify) and it being on Spotify probably directly impacts how many views they get on here.
@@emer7802 well true but being on mobile its easier to still have access to my phone and play other games while listening to and almost 3 hour podcast. If it wasnt because I like doms content I wouldn't even click on the video. Especially with the runtime on mobile.
Every time I watch Dom stream, I’m like “damn this guy is a toxic tilter.” But every time I watch his analysis I agree with almost everything. Reddit etc. can say what they want about the guy, but he’s so fucking smart about the game.
I think that G2 would have put Yasuo Gragas mid if Thresh was open because putting Thresh with Syndra eliminates Syndra's weakness in mobility when the Thresh positions well. They did it in Game 5 vs FNC in finals and worked wonders
The biggest problem with ALL sports is when journalists ask athletes this simple question: "What did you do wrong that made you lose?". The answer is pretty goddamn obvious, and any interviewer will know the answer before asking it. There's no need for that.
Fionn explained the faker shaking question, they only accept english, mandarin and korean questions. So media from south america have to ask their questions in english, so their questions come out blunt from lack of experience with the english language. I dont think their intention was to be rude.
And to fpx win conditions: Promisq gets a skin game Fpx gets ryze G2 tries to leave pantheon open And maybe doinb 1v9s on ryze but I really doubt it since I expect g2 to permaban quiyana but ban ryze only on purple and 1st pick it if it's up.
A good pick against GP top is Ryze. GP can't do anything vs Ryze wave clear and forcing him under turret, ryze can then pressure top side jungle with Jankos or they can combine with Caps.
The question I whish they would have asked is: "how much, if at all, did the extremely loud crowd influence or hinder your ability to make good decision on the fly"
It's funny listening to this after worlds has completed. Nautilus mid had almost more CS than their enemy mid. Not a fair assessment. Nautilus mid farmed jungle on the way :D
One thing that didnt get mentioned: perkzs yasou in game 4 got shut down, but how fucking amazing was his reaction speed with a few of those windwalls. The reaction to the elise snare and countering fakers utlts were on point and great playing from behind.
On the topic of Qiyana having a no-counterplay kill-pattern, her kit is basically like if Zed's ult stunned you when he cast it so you couldn't zhonyas it/flash away the Q's afterwards. It's just so stupid I can't believe she was allowed to be released.
It's amazing how Loco doesn't seem to understand the people watching the series don't care about macro and perfect play. The reason they love watching FPX is because it's high kills high action. That's why they love it. That's why they say it's great. It's not a difficult concept to understand.
Yeah those questions during the SKT press con were soooo awful. I think there needs to be huge steps to make for journalysts to make up for such a thing like a press conference. don't seem like the scene is ready for it now.
I think what dom said at 10:20 was the exact reason Huni failed on SKT in s6. He was so afraid to play his style or the odd champs he was know for that he under performed due to pressure.
Huni was overhyped player anyway. Don't why EU picked him. We don't need Korean imports in order to perform at international stage. Only NA does, Ops where is NA at the moment???
@@martintsanov4341 are you dumb? When fnatic had huni they were the most dominant EU team at the time? Korean imports absoutely carried them hard that year. Just because EU did well this year because of only ONE TEAM you think EU is insane
@@Ryutjie FNC vs Skt1 went 1-1? I mean in the group stage. Please stop glorifing Korean. EU is one of the regions that does not use import anymore. Huni was a mistake.
Griffin is an example of a non-conservative innovative team like G2 or IG. It’s not because all of Korea is stubborn that they’re not in the finals but because LEC and LPL have grown so much as a region.
IG actually had a genius draft game 4, their coach, or whoever does pick/bans on their team, should get a fuckin medal for that game 4 draft. FPX had 0 ways of winning that game besides IG inting the game away and loan behold TheShy decided that he didn't want to win and inted the game away. The Nautilus was not the reason FPX won the series, it was the IG players thinking that they are so mechanically talented that they threw away the series in game 4.
G2 winning a grand slam might make them a top 3 lineup of all time, if u told anyone in 2017 that in 2 years a european team with 0 imports is 1 best of 5 away from being the first ever to win a grand slam they’d call you crazy, this roster is insane!
I think, im a real fnc fan since i started playing lol in season 3, the grand slam makes g2 the greates team we have ever seen. Like the competition internationally is ever been this high.
Ehh i think that's quite a bold statement, is G2 good yes, but they're no where near the level of domination that 2014 SSW or 2015 SKT or for the most part 2013 SKT were in their time. SSW dropped 3 games at worlds in 2014 and absolutely demolished any team that stepped in front of them, 2015 SKT didn't lose a game until the finals of that world championship and no one could match them or came anywhere near close to even showing that teams flaws, 2013 SKT was just a machine (as evident by the OMG game where they simply marched down mid and could just not be stopped from taking an inhib at 20 mins). Is this G2 roster a good one, yes, but teams have been able to push them and show their cracks and their flaws very significantly (Griffin completely smashed them in back to back games) whereas the aforementioned teams had no one come anywhere near close to exposing the flaws that they had while they were on top of the world stage.
Nikidein It’s very difficult to compare since the meta is so different every season but if we’re talking about how much 1 team was dominating the worlds at their time then SSW 2014 and SKT 2015 outclassed G2 by far.
the press-conference topic is really interesting. Personally I think the conferences for lol currently are completely obsolete. The interviewers don't seem to know what to ask and do a light version of the football/sport interviews where everyone knows beforehand what the answer will be (more or less). On the other side the interviewees also seem pretty uninterested and hardly say anything. Also the job of a journalist is not to be the friend of the player. He is supposed to ask also hard questions but how they are delivered and what exactly you are asking is very important. The way the conferences are now I wouldn't mind them vanishing but I do believe that the people who ask the questions could do a better job of getting actually interesting information which the audience did not know beforehand. For example instead of asking "how do you feel now after losing?" you could maybe ask "hey it was your first worlds, despite the sadness do you take anything positive out from your time here?" or other things that a normal viewer will not know just from watching the game
the problem with the skt's questions is exactly what loco says. they don't know shit about the game. sjokz and lauree legit knows 10 times more stuff than the people in that room and they are not even analysts as main part of their job.
42:25 LMAO Nemesis doesn"t have the right to say doinb is bad right after getting rekt by him 4 games straight in quarters especially after that Cassiopea vs Ryze matchup, where he counterpicked him and still lost lol gtfo nemesis, u just got outclassed, stay salty.
@@AdRian-gz9lw Why not? If u got in a fight and got punched in the face and you got a black eye, would you say "oh it didn't hurt at all, ur such a weakling" that's what nemesis did. Also y would I be salty, I was just pointing out how much of a ego that guy has and should humble himself in defeat.
@@joaquinchua3348 u can lose to someone and thing this person isnt good... And that dont mean this pesron isnt good. Its only his opinion... Better shoudl lie he think he good only because he lose to him... IG lose to TL at MSI and saw how they all joke at conference after question about TL... Or G2 dont have right say PVB are bad coz they have against them negativ score...
It isnt only jackeylove, across the board, Chinese players where inting. As a german viewer, i have the luck of seeing a lot of entertaining high challenger euw content(noway4u_sir, scarface, gilius, agurin,.. ) and there you could see, even while worlds groups stage, that chinese players where behaving like ****. Inting, rq and stuff. And of course 0 consequences.
Because someone has to play devils advocate. Also at times they can get carried away and tunnel vision on their perspective without considering the other reasons for Riot does what it does. It’s just to keep the show fair and balanced as possible. Also I’m pretty sure he doesn’t work for riot
Thank god they are talking about how dog shit the questions that were asked during worlds were. Even during the fking group stage after a team won the game they asked questions about the other fking team’s feelings when it’s suppose to be about the winner of the match.
Not that I think Jankos played very well but just look at the junglers Tian had to play against and what Jankos had to face (Tian - versed 2 wild card junglers, xerxe, bad undeperforming broxah, and the most coin flip jungler in the world) whereas Jankos played against Tarzan, Svenskeren, Canyon, Clid. There is a big difference between these junglers imo
Why don’t they get the teams that won or lost on the after-show of the worlds board cast and have the casters and analysts ask them questions? You would clearly get a better understanding on the insight to what their strategies and communication was like. Like if you want to throw a press conference review the questions that being asked in respect for the teams. Like is this just to create more drama and more bad content for the league community to flame the player?? If I was SKT or any of the players I wouldn’t do another press conference or interview again. Just watch Travis’s interview with Doublelift’s when they bombed out of groups for good journalism.
Poor Hauntzer dog, I think that must’ve been rough af between a guy who just got kicked from tsm to golden guardians. His ego must have been through the fucking roof lol

The interviewers don't seem to know what to ask and do a light version of the football/sport interviews where everyone knows beforehand what the answer will be (more or less). On the other side the interviewees also seem pretty uninterested and hardly say anything. Also the job of a journalist is not to be the friend of the player. He is supposed to ask also hard questions but how they are delivered and what exactly you are asking is very important. The way the conferences are now I wouldn't mind them vanishing but I do believe that the people who ask the questions could do a better job of getting actually interesting information which the audience did not know beforehand.
For example instead of asking "how do you feel now after losing?" you could maybe ask "hey it was your first worlds, despite the sadness do you take anything positive out from your time here?" or other things that a normal viewer will not know just from watching the game
To be fair jensen was a known ddoser, which is an actual crime.
the problem with the skt's questions is exactly what loco says. they don't know shit about the game. sjokz and lauree legit knows 10 times more stuff than the people in that room and they are not even analysts as main part of their job.
It's just dom correcting locos the entire time.
Loco: I dont see how FPX can win
Doinb: Have you seen my wife? I already won
Great show, as always. Keep it up boyZzzz!😁
Dom going off on JackeyLove was hilarious
Yea pretty much why i dont watch press conference after the games and go straight to Travis
42:25 LMAO Nemesis doesn"t have the right to say doinb is bad right after getting rekt by him 4 games straight in quarters especially after that Cassiopea vs Ryze matchup, where he counterpicked him and still lost lol gtfo nemesis, u just got outclassed, stay salty.
Cassio is not a counterpick to ryze
By this logic salty random guy from yt comment section cannot judge him :)
@@AdRian-gz9lw Why not? If u got in a fight and got punched in the face and you got a black eye, would you say "oh it didn't hurt at all, ur such a weakling" that's what nemesis did. Also y would I be salty, I was just pointing out how much of a ego that guy has and should humble himself in defeat.
Floris Kotterink Cassio is a counter cause she outranges ryze and deals a lot of damage just like him
@@joaquinchua3348 u can lose to someone and thing this person isnt good... And that dont mean this pesron isnt good. Its only his opinion... Better shoudl lie he think he good only because he lose to him... IG lose to TL at MSI and saw how they all joke at conference after question about TL... Or G2 dont have right say PVB are bad coz they have against them negativ score...
I’m waiting for a reddit thread on loco that he held g2’s worlds championship ransom for 1000 subs
Watch G2 getting crushed after this much hype
It isnt only jackeylove, across the board, Chinese players where inting. As a german viewer, i have the luck of seeing a lot of entertaining high challenger euw content(noway4u_sir, scarface, gilius, agurin,.. ) and there you could see, even while worlds groups stage, that chinese players where behaving like ****. Inting, rq and stuff. And of course 0 consequences.
Borgreth meanwhile shernfire gets banned and misses two games for speech in Korea
Yaaaaaay riot
wait what, loco picked fpx on summoning insight but on facecheck he cant think of a reason to pick fpx?
Great analyst/coach btw xD
Good job loco. Perfect 0% prediction rate for G2.
Loco is not allowed to go to anywhere in Europe.
Who’s here after loco predicted wrong
I would watch dom talking about riots bs for hours
Maybe a podcast with Thoorin and Monte
Nah rather not watch 2 boomers complaining on the internet
Already happened
Why does dgon always take the pro riot stance?
He works for riot.
Because someone has to play devils advocate. Also at times they can get carried away and tunnel vision on their perspective without considering the other reasons for Riot does what it does.
It’s just to keep the show fair and balanced as possible.
Also I’m pretty sure he doesn’t work for riot
China and FPX thanks LocoDoco for that Worlds Finals prediction
Amazing content
Thank god they are talking about how dog shit the questions that were asked during worlds were. Even during the fking group stage after a team won the game they asked questions about the other fking team’s feelings when it’s suppose to be about the winner of the match.
Not that I think Jankos played very well but just look at the junglers Tian had to play against and what Jankos had to face (Tian - versed 2 wild card junglers, xerxe, bad undeperforming broxah, and the most coin flip jungler in the world) whereas Jankos played against Tarzan, Svenskeren, Canyon, Clid. There is a big difference between these junglers imo
Why don’t they get the teams that won or lost on the after-show of the worlds board cast and have the casters and analysts ask them questions? You would clearly get a better understanding on the insight to what their strategies and communication was like.
Like if you want to throw a press conference review the questions that being asked in respect for the teams. Like is this just to create more drama and more bad content for the league community to flame the player?? If I was SKT or any of the players I wouldn’t do another press conference or interview again.
Just watch Travis’s interview with Doublelift’s when they bombed out of groups for good journalism.
Dgon 100% didn't watch G2vsSKT he has no clue what he's talking about haha
i have no idea why dgon is in this. like. has he ever said anything useful other than being a moderator ?
Dgon only truly cares about the minor regions lol
Lmao he is the host. He is there to guide the conversation with questions and stuff. Nobody called him an league analyst
he's just a deftly fanboy xD
@@joeybrez1 Arent we all?
1:22:10 is why i love Dom :')
where is doublelift?
Hanging out with Leena
In finals.
Watching them from crowd.
I think Kkoma will return the onstage draft.
I Swear Loco is one octave away from pulling a caitllyn jener lol.
Lmfao
Yikes
actually Jackeylove's Kog'Maw was not as different as this "negative gaming" experience.
Well Uzi and bunch of Chinese players got punished last year because they were toxic in Korea... Maybe policy has changed
Poor Hauntzer dog, I think that must’ve been rough af between a guy who just got kicked from tsm to golden guardians. His ego must have been through the fucking roof lol
2:25:10 squadW
Damn, now I want Dom to become a journalist
This creates the first eastern - western rivalry in league of legends, which is pretty interesting to me. Can't wait to see more SKT vs G2.
you are new to league then. m5, gambit had a positive record against koreans in b0 series.
That SKT conference was fu*king savage
jackeylove didnt int soaz, he just soft inted because hewas 04 and the game was over
Loco: G2 is secretly the best macro-team in the world
G2 in voicecoms: I don´t know what the fuck is going on
There needs to be someone to refute what doms saying. Not that he's incorrect but to go even deeper.
On what
R.I.P. Loco, too bad he couldnt get the 1k subs to predict an FPX win.
