## Summary

This video follows a League of Legends player, Xaryu, through two ranked games as he climbs from Silver 3 to Silver 2. The transcript captures his live commentary, strategic decisions, and reflections on playing mid-lane, emphasizing the importance of objective control and team coordination.

### Key Points

- **Starting the Climb** [00:02] — Xaryu begins his ranked session, noting he is a Silver 3 peak mid laner on day seven of his climb, and sets up a prediction for the next game.
- **Facing Azir** [00:15] — He encounters an Azir in the enemy mid lane, recalling a previous matchup from last year, and discusses the champion's wave-pushing ability.
- **Dragon Control** [05:14] — After losing the last dragon, Xaryu emphasizes the need to secure the next one, identifying it as a key way to avoid losing the game.
- **Baron Call** [07:04] — He suggests a 'baron then end' strategy, but acknowledges the risk and later admits to a misplay with his ultimate, calling it 'limit testing'.
- **Clutch Victory** [12:25] — Despite being ahead, the team throws multiple times, but Ziggs makes a game-winning play, securing the win and highlighting the importance of not giving up.
- **Singed Matchup** [13:34] — Xaryu faces a Singed for the first time, learning about the champion's proxy farming and gas mechanics, and how to counter him by not chasing.
- **Singed's Impact** [22:14] — He observes that Singed players often die a lot but can still be effective, noting the champion's unique playstyle and potential to take towers.
- **Gold Chart Analysis** [26:30] — After the game, he reviews the gold charts, noting the team was ahead for most of the game but lost the lead, and that their damage was poor.
- **New Game, New Matchup** [27:02] — He starts a new game against a Katarina, planning to bully her early but acknowledging her power spike at level six.
- **Objective Focus** [33:19] — Xaryu emphasizes the importance of securing objectives as a mid laner, stating he'll 'pull it myself if no one else is going to', a mindset he learned from jungle.
- **Bard the Hero** [35:03] — He praises an enemy Bard for a helpful play, calling him a 'champion' and a 'homie', showing sportsmanship.
- **Reaching Silver 2** [43:19] — After a close game, Xaryu achieves Silver 2, celebrating his climb from Bronze 4 and reflecting on his improved mindset.
- **Key Takeaway** [44:02] — He concludes that his success comes from prioritizing objectives and team fights, a mindset he applied from jungle to mid, leading to a 70% win rate.

### Conclusion

Xaryu's climb to Silver 2 is a testament to the power of focusing on objectives and team play, rather than just individual mechanics, a lesson he applies from his jungle experience to mid lane.

All right, boys. Silver three peak mid laner currently peaking ranked day seven continues. Um, guys, let's get a prediction rolling. Do we win the next game? Yes or no. Good luck. Have fun. So, we have a gold four. Gold four. Oh,
>> All right, guys. We have a gold lobby here. I'm fighting against an Azir. He does that thing that like pushes you. It's like a wave that pushes. He has >> I fought an Azir once last year. I haven't fought one this year.
I long for the day when this is all over. >> No way. >> Slain an enemy.
An >> enemy has been slain. the play and it worked. Huh. What a shocker. It's like first time that's shocker. It's like first time that's ever happened.
I I guess he's helping me with the wave. how that works. Do I get CS for support players?
Does that land? It does. I'm in. I'm in with you, brother.
been slain. An enemy. >> Probably should have saved my flash and just ghosted. just ghosted. >> All that bind
can ult in. Atrox is back. Brier's close. Brier's kind of like doing a great job at landing his olds, too. >> I work alone. company weighs me down. >> I work alone. company weighs me down. >> An enemy has been slain.
>> Every our whole team's here for grubs. All right.
An >> enemy has been slain. Cool. >> None are worth. >> I guess that kind of works out for us.
Some stones are best left on >> shoot. >> shoot. >> I took two tower hits there.
>> Killing spree. >> Won't be the last.
Dude, I've just had a support this whole game. >> I think they just I mean Atrox could go help them, but I think
brother. >> Your team has destroyed.
>> We actually lost the last dragon. Hm. Let's really try to get this next one. I think that's one of the only ways we can actually lose here.
Learn from your mistakes. >> Actualize her if we can get in the base.
>> Um, okay. It's a Baron fight and we end the game. I think Baron then end I think
>> killing spree. >> I think it's just a quick Baron. >> Yeah, it's got to be quick Baron for sure, right?
>> We can twoman this, I think. Can we >> guys? I don't know if we can. >> Killing spree.
I think the right call is baron baron end. Am I tripping? Am I bad here? That seemed kind of like a good call to me.
Oh my gosh. If I had actualizer. Oh my gosh, I do have actualizer.
>> That's on me. >> Dude, they were all low and I actualizer. We got the flank. I had to, guys. Oh my gosh. >> I I totally had to. That we'll call that one limit testing. No, that's on me. I
one limit testing. No, that's on me. I had to go back in earlier. Wow. What? A You're too nice. Okay. No, we're just going to leave it at that. I think we go end the game before we don't have a chance to end.
worked out. I meant to just ghost. Dang. It probably could have got all three inhib there.
like a 2v5, 3v5. ghost >> or flash. Uh, one 5v5 and it's over. We
have this. Just need to need a team fight. We've been very ahead for a very long time, but we haven't actually fought them. And Aatrox is top. We just need to We just need to 5v5 one time.
need to 5v5 one time. All that binds this will.
kind of worked, but it was like a 3v5 and it still kind of worked and we're down soul. Man, if we did this minutes ago. Oh, I kind of want to collect that bot wave, but I think there's a fight about to
break out. Yeah, looks like they're going Baron. No room for every mile I run, I'd be dumb. this is
this is we should contest this.
If I have another second to EQ, it's just a triple quadra, man. Oh,
tanks there to kind of get in. We had a nice flank. We actualized.
>> Zia is very online now. Okay, that's kind of good to know. >> Okay, >> you can keep up with me.
>> Okay, we have to we have to >> inhibitor has destroyed. >> inhibitor has destroyed. >> We have to clutch this one, guys. >> We have to clutch this one, guys. Let's go.
Where did Azio come from? Oh, he must have tpd. Oh no. have tpd. Oh no. >> Oh, Ziggs has destroyed >> as tped behind me. Oh, wow. Ziggs. Nice.
Thanks for the dance. >> Nice. Huge. Maybe he holds. >> Briar's here, too. And Atrox. >> Oh my gosh. We held W team. Holy crap.
>> Oh my gosh. Ziggs is going for the game-winning play. No way. game-winning play. No way. >> Your team has destroyed anestroyed way. >> No way.
Your team has destroyed a turret. >> Where's Gangplank? >> Your team has destroyed a turret. >> ZIGGS,
ZIGGS. LET'S GO. [laughter] [laughter] Oh my gosh, bro. That game was we were so ahead it felt unlosable and then we just threw over and over and over and
over and over and over and over and then Ziggs clutched it up for us. Holy crap. Wow. This dude this was the graph and we almost threw by the way. We almost threw that right. We almost threw this. Like this was our team. Like we smoked them
the whole game and then we almost just lost. We almost lost this game. Is that insane? Holy crap. Like I think at any point from here to here, if we
just 5v5 them, we just steamroll, but we just kept going in one at a time and dying consistently, but we just never actually fought them. And then we fought them once like here, 3v5 and died. And then fought them again and died. Cannot
believe we almost lost that. New prediction. Do we win this game? Yes or no? Good luck. Have fun on your channel points, my friends. We have a Shico on our team, an orbana. Singra. Oh, I'm top again.
I'm fighting against a Singed. Um, I've never laned against a Singed before. All I know about Singed is he puts gas behind him and throws me behind his back so that I'm in the gas. I can't really chase him. If I chase him, I I just kind
of get owned. You counter him. Like, can I can I poke him out early? He's a melee early, but then he once he gets like a sprint, he's going to like run at me, chuck me behind the back, and then run away over and over and over and over and
over. Don't let him proxy. He's going to proxy. What does that mean? Go behind make him like really susceptible to just getting ganked? Like if he does that, couldn't we just like kill him? Oh, he could just run out the way he came cuz
he's good at running. Oh. Oh, okay. Okay. So Singed, a good Singed could telling me about this. So, I need to actually clear quick so that if he tries him down. Don't chase him unless jungler's there. Okay, so worst case
up. I mean, this isn't going to happen, guys, but say he actually gets that good positioning on me. What What's the play? Do I just completely ignore him and farm where I'm supposed to and just let him
proxy me? Just leave him. Just let him do it un Oh my gosh. right? You guys just told me not to do anything about it.
one. >> The fires that forged this world. >> Oh wait. Oh crap. I should blast it on tower. Huh?
>> Crap. I need two attacks. Forgot about that. about it and everything. I didn't think it would happen at level one.
thing. Wait, can I really not just kill him here?
Q. >> That seemed kind of doable, though. If I If I was level three, I'd have my W as well. Wait, why are you guys laughing? I little funny, I guess, but like it almost worked.
>> Oh, wait. What the heck? Terrible. Terrible. >> I missed my whole wave.
I don't know how to play against this man. letting my team down here, but I just wanted my CS.
>> You like that, guys? You like that? This is hard to watch. What do you mean? We just got the kill. That was sick. What do you mean hard to watch? Oh, are you watching the Sing's stream? you were typing in my chat, the Ris's chat. I'm
so glad you guys told me about this though, versus me just going into this happen. Like I I at least like have some type of It's like, okay, see what's happening here. He's like super low again. I need to hit six and ult on top
of him. Maybe everyone is doomed to repeat history. That's where I come in.
>> They know so little of the world they truly keeps dying. I was just not expecting this kind of a lane. This is super
this kind of a lane. This is super interesting.
to be honest. Probably not. Although I'm kind of
>> You know what? I could use an hail. [snorts] CS, but we've killed him twice. He's running boots of Swifties. Man, what an running boots of Swifties. Man, what an interesting champion.
[laughter] Has >> been slain.
>> Way too late for refillables, but bottom anyway. >> dude. I pressed back. You guys said back worked. It's my first time trying it.
My whole plan was to use it as like bait, you know?
keep them at arms length. Oh my gosh, I messed my uh Oh my gosh, I messed my uh messed up this
>> Yeah, I know how she killed me. I know exactly how she killed me. I I played Cra this morning. Um >> Okay, can we talk about the back thing? >> Okay, can we talk about the back thing? So, I I used it to I exeend. [laughter]
>> That's hilarious. So I I I like dead zoned him here and pressed B. I still got ported. You guys like did they hot fix it? B to stop bolt doesn't work. Pelter told me. You guys told me.
>> So it doesn't work now or something, huh? I can TP into this if I need. It the replay on that. Okay, nice. We got the Drake there. Is he level 15? Oh, 13.
Okay. I was like, how do you get three levels? Oh crap. >> Always learning, always seeking.
That Sra could have definitely killed me there. I think
>> Dude, I feel like this Singedestroyed. >> Do you guys think this guy's team is flaming him? It's like he keeps trying to do stuff and it just like it's almost working and then like he just keeps dying. It's like almost working every
time. No, it's just the champ. Man, I feel like this is a crazy champ. If this is Is is this just like a normal Singed game? If this is a normal Singed game, this is hilarious. >> They die. They just die a lot. That's
just what they do. [laughter] >> That's so good. All right, so 1 minute >> Okay, so we're actually a level up on Singed now, and our CS is almost caught up. I mean, not quite, I guess. Yeah, I think I just keep farming and
Yeah, I think I just keep farming and then we TP in if we need then we TP in if we need >> C.
good collapse on them. I think this might be okay. Just a one for one rip lantern. Oh, shoot. I don't know what a lantern is, guys. Do you know how Thresh lantern works? No, but now that you say that, you pro it's probably a teleport
this thing. Okay, a two for one. I mean, they I I kind of felt like we like baited them in. I feel like we should have been able to get more than those two kills to be honest, though. Like this. It needs to
be like a nice fight here. Sire's already here. team, team, team. Was that the or the uh central alt? Are
might have been the first. >> Oh, no. Our base needs defended. I think I Oh, they're just buying time,
>> Nice, nice, nice. I did a lot of damage, I think. No, not really. Dang it. >> Do we defend this? Yeah, we defend that. No one got the Drake at least. Uh, Cetraani >> is going to be able to solo it.
>> Your turret has destroyed, >> dude. Sing. What a what a funny champ. They're supposed to go like 1 and eight >> with like a billion CS and then just like get all the towers. That's super super funny. So, we actually do lose
that Drake. >> Oh, dude. That was so close from me just melting their whole team and then I got knocked up into a knockup into a knockup knocked up into a knockup into a knockup into a knockup into a knockup and died.
That's my ghost actualizer. That's pretty rough.
>> THEY'RE LIKE ALL DEAD, MAN. GOODNESS GRACIOUS. I should have zonas. Shoot.
League of Legends I've ever played. What the heck was that? >> I feel like we were so ahead. Dang it. under our belt. I have to say that was
hilarious. That is insane. And that Siner kind of crushed it, too. Our Thresh addict some good hooks. good hooks. Um, I want to take a look at this game
in terms of the gold charts cuz it felt like we were ahead almost the entire game. Our damage was just bad. Our damage was just bad. Oh my Synra. Oh my Synra. Oh my gosh.
Okay, so we were ahead for a while, but we we we did lose the lead at some point. So, we have a gold four on our team and a bronze one. This might be the promo game of Caitlyn, but we also have they have two golds on their team. And
then I would assume this is bronze, too. Man, it looks so similar. Am I color blind or does this look very similar? All right. What level does Katarina nuke? Like level six, right? >> Minions have spawned.
>> Can I Can I bully Cat like 1 to six or one to five? And then at six, we're just like AFK. So now that cat's two, I'm kind of scared. Cat's three now. So I'm super scared. >> First blood.
>> come for the scroll. >> An enemy has been slain. Dang it. Minus two CS there. >> Executed.
You have an enemy. >> I don't even >> So I leave the wave like >> let's make it
spree. An enemy has been slain. An enemy has been slain. You have slain an enemy. Just going to back there. Okay, now we get our catalyst.
>> Use double summoners for that. >> Provisions purchased. The Udier is three in one. Drakes are uncontested. Okay, I'm was just going to
go here in case they tried to pull something. >> So, I hope we don't lose much CS there. We lost one CS for that. But I think hovering is kind of nice >> in case that jungler
would have shown up, we would have been there. So Cat still kind of owns me, there. So Cat still kind of owns me, right? In a one v one, like with ult even though I'm pretty ahead. No, no, no, no. Oh, really?
No, no, no, no. Oh, really? >> An enemy has been slain. >> Definitely not now. >> Give a
has been slain. Okay, Okay, Drake's up in a minute.
>> Here the runes decide my path. Wow. Okay. I actually wasn't that scared, but he just Okay. Nice.
So that must have been the ult of Udier, which I don't even know what that does. >> He kind of always has his ultage. >> Okay. I don't really know what that guy does, but I I wasn't that scared. I He fl I flashed but he flashed and I just
fl I flashed but he flashed and I just Eweed and ran. But
>> they have forgotten the fires that forged this world. I'm such a noob. I didn't even realize that was happening.
honest. We should have been there. We had the map presence. We're like ahead had the map presence. We're like ahead in every way. Um, I mean I it's kind of in every way. Um, I mean I it's kind of on me and our jungler

An enemy has been slain. >> Okay, Cat decided to flash in a little. could kill me there. >> Shut down.
>> You have slain an enemy. Your team has destroyed a turret. >> Learn from your >> Oh crap, it's just the Urgot.
as nice. So I feel like that is what I need to do right as a mid laner. I need to be like, "Look, we are getting these objectives. Just I I'll pull it myself if no one else is going to. We're going
I do on jungle. And that's why jungle worked for me. >> And I think as a mid laner, I see you did the same thing.
>> Okay. I actually think he could have maybe been in that bush. Quickly, but carefully. I thought I busted the grass there. I thought I busted the grass there. Guess not.

That's got to be our best rise game yet, man. Jeez Louise. So, I'm figuring it out, guys. I think
it's really about we just need to actually as a mid laner like So, okay, so the reason I did so well on jungle last that, we were getting farmed in bronze. I swapped to jungle. We went 70% win
rate straight to silver from iron. And I was like, "Wow, jungle's easier." But the mindset I had on jungle was let's just make sure we get every dragon and be there for every dragon and play the objectives. I think what I'm realizing
player. Maybe [clears throat] not quite as well, but I can kind of do the same thing as rise. Like I pulled a dragon or two this game. I was just kind of like there saying like we're doing this and like it actually happens.
You know what I mean? So playing jungle. We just prioritize the dragons, the objectives, the team fights and kind of kind of works out.
