This video will be HD when TH-cam finishes processing which usually takes ~30-40 min or so! MSI 2016 in China Full Playlist: bit.ly/MSI-2016-CHINA MSI 2015 in Florida Full Playlist: bit.ly/MSI2015Florida
+Bryant Smith boring as in clean and flawless league of legends, honestly this skt on msi is not the skt that won worlds and lck, they're definitely not playing like they usually do.
+bantan Anonymeboys No kidding, his teamfighting is nut, and pretty good tp too. He almost ruined Faker's day, lol. Ryze dude got amazing mechanic on assassin but seems clueless on how to use tp in the late game, otherwise RNG might won.
SKT composition was super easy to play and execute while RNG comp required much more skills to get on the same level. Full respect for MLXG for playing Lee Sin on such level in this meta against SKT.
this second half of group stage is really showing to what the tournament is going to look like excited to see skt playing the game their way again, too bad clg is gonna win still ;)
+Jaysmusic i think its gonna be a good set but yes I am, I think it will end as a 2-3 clg win, the clg bot lane and clg jungle outclass skt in my opinion
Although RNG has a damage/gold advantage and that I think RNG has better composition, I think SKT won because their teamwork and strategy are far better
RNG got out-scaled, this showed clearly when SKT consistently won the last few fights, even when they were down in gold and kills . There doesn't seem to be much that RNG could have done better this game, however, except for perhaps choosing a better siege comp to finish the game earlier. Good game regardless, this game could have gone either other way if some skillshots were hit or missed, Especially, Faker not dying in the last 2 fights as well as the wolf camp juke, if those events happened slightly differently, RNG could have won.
+Huraken No, RNG's comp scales horribly and got out-scaled really hard. Especially Ryze, Lee sin( you can check their win rate by game length on champion.gg). People tends to have the misconception that Ryze is a hyper carry because the casters often wrongly said so, he is not, Ryze is a mid game power, whose power peaked at around 30-35 mins, and falls off gradually when there is not thing left to buy, RNG started to lose several teamfights after Xiaohu got his last item(~42 mins). Leesin, not having reliable CC, or innate tankiness, or late game DPS is usually useless in late game teamfights. Even Ekko got outscaled by Maokai when he couldn't land his CC or assassinate the carries( Maokai's skills are, on the other hand, reliable to hit and his job is simply to pin targets down or peel for the carries, doesn't need to assassinate anyone). Sivir could potentially outscaled Lucian, alone, but not the Lulu+Lucian combo, Ryze + Sivir or Sivir + Bard doesn't provide much additional value, especially when the speed up
+Tu Tran Peaked at Diamond 4, not that high but should generally considered as "understand the game". If you have time, read my explanation above, don't forget to check champion.gg as well.
Thành Đỗ Hữu I think you're mixing up some concepts but by no way lulu whose damage is known to fall off horribly at late will outscale ryze, a champ meant to be a late game monster, and a continuous ap spammer, much like cassio but with tankiness and an on-target root. Also lee sin's only use is that of play-maker, so his problem is that he couldnt find a way to insec lucian/lulu into their team, obviously graves outscales lee hard af in the late game but noone counted on that. I think maokai and ekko are even, with mao being tankier and ekko having the kill potential. Main problem with rng's comp is their only engage was lee insec'ing lulu or lucian into the team, but they couldnt execute it and got kited to hell because of lucian+lulu mobility.
Imagine those saying Mata is washed up before. Even with this loss, RNG is still on fire. Before MSI, SKT were presumptive favorites, now especially with their home advantage and SKT's 4 game slide, RNG is looking pretty strong. Faker's a god yeah, but Mata is a god too. And, I'm 50-50 on these two teams in the playoffs, they're pretty even, even if SKT looking so strong on paper, RNG is insanely skilled on their playstyle.
+Mark Nicole Guilalas Mata is the only player that can be even considered in contention with Faker as the best player at league. He's been my favorite korean player since he awed me in season 4.
Whiskiz Yo The dominance of SSW is undeniable, and so much of that stands on the shoulders of Mata. No support player have ever been so pivotal on the success of a team, as Mata was. Mata was the best player of SSW which arguably was the best team to have ever played league of legends.
Remember how boring Workds 2015 was the constant farming and stalling. What are we learning from MSI, being proactive and aggressive will yield results, high risk high rewards as CLG proved.
holy crap, i was gonna leave a comment saying yeah, you dont* take down a late game ryze with GA, specially when 3 members on their team have GA, yet the extra output of AoE dmg of ryze and sivir to make up for it. It looked like RNG messed up the second last team fight, left faker and i think bang? sitting in the back lines, and focused the front line for once which got most of them killed. but then SKT beat RNG again that last fight. Gaddamn.
+Whiskiz Yo You have to keep in mind, RNG's composition really has no way to get into the back-line besides a Lee-Sin Kick. They won every other fight as a result of SKT's back-line being caught in a Tempered Fate + Parallel Convergence combo. That's why you see them looking for Flanks from multiple angles, unfortunately they weren't able to do that in the last team-fight which won SKT the game. The biggest factor is the incredibly mobile Lucian from Whimsy, Lulu's superior range with Glitterlance, Graves who is a tank-assassin in the late game controlling the middle-line while Maokai and Trundle controls the front-line. Think of it as American Football positions; Maokai - Center/Linebacker (front-line controller) Graves - Tackle (looking to maneuver around the front-line to destroy carries) Lulu - Quarterback (setting up the plays) Lucian - Runningback (aggressively looking for opportunities without taking damage) Trundle - Guard (peeling for allies as well as creating zones) While RNG had; Ekko - Tight End (does everything) Lee Sin - Tackle (looking to maneuver around the front-line to destroy carries) Ryze - Tackle (looking to maneuver around the front-line to destroy carries) Sivir - Wide Receiver (looking for opportunities without taking damage) Bard - Quarterback (setting up the plays) The entirety of RNG's team can have the qualities of a runningback while maintaining their own only during Sivir's On the Hunt. If you look at that list, Ekko has to do a lot of work (and he did step up this game), however there is a big difference between a Mid-lane quarterback and a Support quarterback, Sivir also can't as aggressive because she does not have a solid front-line/guard.
+SSkurai your putting too much into the lineup the reason rng lost the last team fight because of how hood skt played the bait game. rng lost a lot of skills with the fake bluffs skt made
+Josh Arnold you're talking about 1 of the stuns he landed in game. Mata landed multiple stuns all game with a bard.. do you know how hard it is to constantly keep getting stuns with a bard especially in team fights? no? i don't think so. appreciate the fact you're watching a god tier support play multiple supports at the highest level you can watch right now.
Jee Vang like what? i belive RNG came out as number 1 in groups... mind you i dont know how thats going to be in a best of 5 but chinese teams are very good and youre a fool to think they are only good at team fighting.... although they are exeptionally good at team fighting
Mata is the key to win for skt , skt kill mata and win so easy the tf... uffffff so dificult to see that , this is the most dificult match for skt ever
You are a god dude, we appreciate your fast uploads
+Pandadri thanks for the kind words, appreciate a lot :)
best match we have seen at MSI so far. That Faker and Duke recall was too good lol
This is a preview of next week's matches. I'm preparing for major heart pounding moments, because THIS MATCH OMG.
This hurt to watch... But because how hard my jaw just hit the floor! What a game!
Y’all are targeted hackers? Lol. Gtfoh

one of the best games so far in the tournament, if not the best, such a close match...
Winner Interview + Analyst desk here: th-cam.com/video/Ol9kxmNZ3O0/w-d-xo.html
best game i have ever watched yet.Bang was massive in that last team fight!!
thx so much for fast uploads :)
such a good game. and people say watching skt is boring. who are they kidding.
No one said that wtf
Not in the comment section the analyst always say it tho
I have never heard anyone saying that.
+Bryant Smith boring as in clean and flawless league of legends, honestly this skt on msi is not the skt that won worlds and lck, they're definitely not playing like they usually do.
+Haru yea skt always play a slow game the kick up tempo late I font have a problem with that lol but the analyst don't seem to like it.
wow the best of the best they give skt the team fight they want! 🙌🙌🙌
Looper is amazing, such an exciting game !
+bantan Anonymeboys No kidding, his teamfighting is nut, and pretty good tp too. He almost ruined Faker's day, lol. Ryze dude got amazing mechanic on assassin but seems clueless on how to use tp in the late game, otherwise RNG might won.
return of ssw
"stunned by ryze" - EU caster
Mata so good tho
and the faithful are rewarded! Let's Go SKT!
SKT composition was super easy to play and execute while RNG comp required much more skills to get on the same level. Full respect for MLXG for playing Lee Sin on such level in this meta against SKT.
Ryze and sivir enough said
RNG played better throughout most of the match. skt is improving though.
Skts faker lulu and bangs Lucian was amazing.
+Pixel Gunner what? fakers lulu was shut down multiple team fights. One fight he didnt even ulti....
Hopefully RNG doesn't go through the same thing EDG went through. Winning MSI and then losing prior to worlds
Does anyone notice blank reaction after winning? 1:01:15
+Sokty Neang he almost spilled water on the keyboard lOL. Exhausted i gueess :> Well play from him tho
Hahahha yeah!! Is looking forward for a great match this Friday!!! I would love to watch 60 minutes 5 games hahhah
this second half of group stage is really showing to what the tournament is going to look like excited to see skt playing the game their way again, too bad clg is gonna win still ;)
Are you really betting against skt ? In a best of 5 ?
+Jaysmusic i think its gonna be a good set but yes I am, I think it will end as a 2-3 clg win, the clg bot lane and clg jungle outclass skt in my opinion
John M in my opinion only the jungle
I mean wolf and afromoo are pretty even but if stixxay continues this play streak he is outclassing bang
Rng Champion composition is quite similar to skts, in their game against g2 lol
Epic match ever!!
Why are teams leaving Maokai up
+Gebril Bastiaan you cant ban all the champions
kinda is much more important for ban then maokai for exemple
the twitch ban is really unnecessary. RNG played twitch kindred. they should have prioritized on kindred.
Gebril Bastiaan twitch ban really unnecessary, twitch if you play him right is deadly.
Awesome game
semis are gonna be awesome
Although RNG has a damage/gold advantage and that I think RNG has better composition, I think SKT won because their teamwork and strategy are far better
Far far better!!!!!!!
Mata is so incredibly good, unbelievable.
Mata was part of the ssw if i remember correctly
+Jaysmusic yeah he was and looper was from ssb if im not wrong
+Brandon Jacobo both ssw
That is why he was worlds 2014 mvp
my heart can't stop beating
RNG got out-scaled, this showed clearly when SKT consistently won the last few fights, even when they were down in gold and kills .

+Thành Đỗ Hữu RNG's comp actually scales better than SKT's. Not much to say, if anything they got outplayed hard.
+Huraken No, RNG's comp scales horribly and got out-scaled really hard. Especially Ryze, Lee sin( you can check their win rate by game length on champion.gg).

the game was so intense.. both team WP
A nice game mode would be letting players pick 6 items from the start and then just letting them fight from there.
Imagine those saying Mata is washed up before. Even with this loss, RNG is still on fire. Before MSI, SKT were presumptive favorites, now especially with their home advantage and SKT's 4 game slide, RNG is looking pretty strong. Faker's a god yeah, but Mata is a god too.

+Mark Nicole Guilalas Mata is the only player that can be even considered in contention with Faker as the best player at league. He's been my favorite korean player since he awed me in season 4.
+Snobby Gamer matas a beast support, but compare to faker? think of as the best player in the world? LOL
Whiskiz Yo The dominance of SSW is undeniable, and so much of that stands on the shoulders of Mata. No support player have ever been so pivotal on the success of a team, as Mata was. Mata was the best player of SSW which arguably was the best team to have ever played league of legends.
+Snobby Gamer no, skt is the best team of league of legends 2 times worlds champion, 5 lck, 1 allstar, 1 Iem.
Raul Olmos The number of titles, doesn't tell what was the best team to have existed. SKT didn't beat SSW to achieve their success in S5.
Goddamn such a close game!
WHAT A GAME!!!
Epic Skillshot: the one EU who never disappoints
Epic game
What a game!
Semis might be really good.
that lack of double tp in the last fight really fucked rng over. gg
50 minutes of dominance, not like the other team deserved to win or anything, it has to come down to the dice roll, odds for RNG, evens for SKT
Remember how boring Workds 2015 was the constant farming and stalling. What are we learning from MSI, being proactive and aggressive will yield results, high risk high rewards as CLG proved.
2015 worlds was 3 good teams (skt, kt and get) vs all "bad" teams
damn, that tension
Damn right SKT better than RNG. Got no counters this time to rely on eh RNG?
Is that LPL caster?
+Hi Z3ro Atlus, yes
He's also an OCE caster
Even though they won blank still shit in my eyes
same
+locomotion LOL he is good. I wish they showed dmg done. This graves does a lot of dmg. bengi is really bad in carry junglers..
Better than Trick 😂😂
+horaty he did ok in my opinion, could have been better tho. still alot of mistakes by him
yass SKT

+SSkurai nice analogy
I don't get that freak out because Mata q stunned the moaki coming in? Like a silver player could hit that stun, not that hard
+Josh Arnold you're talking about 1 of the stuns he landed in game. Mata landed multiple stuns all game with a bard.. do you know how hard it is to constantly keep getting stuns with a bard especially in team fights? no? i don't think so. appreciate the fact you're watching a god tier support play multiple supports at the highest level you can watch right now.
hooly fuck one of the most intense fking game
RNG is a scary team.
Jee Vang like what? i belive RNG came out as number 1 in groups... mind you i dont know how thats going to be in a best of 5 but chinese teams are very good and youre a fool to think they are only good at team fighting.... although they are exeptionally good at team fighting
