[08:19] abilities. It's like you want to run towards me. All right. Well, you're going to pay for it. >> Uh, does Lux like fall off late game? That must be the case cuz she feels like pretty strong like early mid if she just
[08:31] No. So, like what's the down like why don't I see more Lux then? Like what's the downside? >> Just like super squishy or something. >> Just like super squishy or something. Shoot. Dude, I wish I had for this.

[10:54] Okay. Oh my god. Oh my god. Okay. Nice guys. Nice. Lux is just like Okay. Nice guys. Nice. Lux is just like Yeah. Oh no, they surrendered.
[11:07] What is that jail? What? Okay. I mean, that felt like disgusting. Let's play Lux till we lose. Unless it's just a complete stupid loss. Like, let's play Lux till it's like like I I want to
[11:21] I want to I want to play a game of Lux into an actual player. Like, that guy, right? Like, so let's let's play locks into an actual player and then we'll play Cra cuz I do want to play Cra. I almost want to lose this game in the
[11:34] say here? Like I want like that that that that that other game went like too well. It's like I need to like get I need to get ego checked here. You know what I'm saying? I almost want the ego check so I can be like okay that's you
[11:48] >> I have bright ones. >> I don't have dark secrets. I have bright >> I don't have dark secrets. I have bright ones.
[12:04] >> level two charm. Wasn't expecting that. >> I don't even know if that's good for her. She couldn't really do anything with it.
[12:37] think it was good. We did land it, but I had no E followup, right? So, I just an auto attack for the passive, but I have to get ready to like instantly pop have to get ready to like instantly pop the uh
[12:52] there. use my second pot. So, I need to poke with E maybe a tad more, but versus that last game. This This is kind of what I wanted. It's like more of a of what I wanted. It's like more of a real test.
[13:17] I almost let myself die. Uh I I mean I don't think I played that very well. I was that was on the VGO, right? need to like even get close. I could have just Wed a lot sooner, but we'll
[13:31] take it. Okay, so this is kind of troll now. So she has I have no flash. >> I again [laughter] I don't have enough mana really to do my full combo.
[13:57] >> I probably shouldn't have busted the crust. Should have just left, I think. I I don't know. Like now I'm in this awkward spot where like I kind of need to leave, but ultes one-shot it. Oh, I didn't even think of
[14:10] Yeah, good coms, guys. ulting the wave. I didn't think of that. So, that's kind back, you could just send the ult on the wave cuz it's like what? Like what? Like what else are you saving it for? >> Pushing my limits.
[14:25] >> Pushing my limits. >> An ally has been slain. [screaming] Yikes.
[14:39] >> Limit testing, guys. I'm limiting. That was a That actually was a limit test. [laughter] >> So, she's pretty dead if I can land a Q.
[15:03] This is not proving my point. The point was supposed to be I get owned and then like I'm like, "Okay, so Lux isn't that good after all." Venmo received. I don't received, bro. I mean, it's a silver Ahri. What are you trying to say about
[15:17] us silver players, man? That's kind of messed up, to be honest. Got the Drake. messed up, to be honest. Got the Drake. Poke down Ari.
[15:39] that champ is kind of disgusting, guys. What the heck is that about?
[16:15] probably easier. Yeah. Like maybe that's just it. It's just simple. Like I logged in and I was all very intuitive. Oh, I should actually send the alult." Huh.
[16:29] actually send the alult." Huh. [screaming]
[16:49] >> Nah, could have killed the Ari too, right? Like pretty easily. I think >> The superior never give up.
[17:26] Say it guys. Say it. Say it. Say it. Say minus one.
[17:46] okay. That was so close. >> That W I was I was like old W and then like Kane dies and I W my whole team and close to being great. >> Throw it to zone/ slow or shift them to
[18:01] >> Throw it to zone/ slow or shift them to a spot where Q is easier to land. Using a spot where Q is easier to land. Using will change your game.
[18:29] there. Oh, I thought I killed both. The Kane Oh, I thought I killed both. The Kane jumped on me. I was like, bro, what? jumped on me. I was like, bro, what? Still still one shot him though.
[18:46] vision. So it's like I get like free wards. Need to remember that. So if I but I can E from way further. So I can but I can E from way further. So I can just E the bush.
[19:00] So I did it too slow, right? Like the old just literally just waited a second for no reason. Like he shouldn't be able to dodge it in other words.
[19:12] >> Yeah. Okay. I'm trying to learn as much as I can after this one game.
[19:35] >> I am everywhere. [screaming]
[20:19] >> shine bright. >> What? >> shut down. >> Yeah, maybe I should have tped into
[20:34] >> Yeah, maybe I should have tped into that. Ah, I thought I was a little longer. I need a keybind to like check the length.
[21:19] little bit. Okay,
[21:31] >> I'm your biggest fan. >> How am I alive? I'm just like kind of in here for no reason. The 1v2 is possible. The 1v2 is
[21:45] possible, right? Like we're strong enough to 1v2 that
[22:14] >> An enemy is unstoppable. >> Okay, we did the whole running one by >> Okay, we did the whole running one by one thing. probably a little ahead now, but we were like massive ahead.
[22:54] Shine, right? >> [ __ ] If I landed any of these cues.
[23:17] >> Oh my gosh. >> An enemy has been slain. >> An enemy has been slain. >> Double kill.
[23:34] foolish. So >> Did he not get hit by my Q? I mean, he was in front of it and I queued and he
[23:50] didn't move. He did move right out of it. He dodged it. Did he actually dodged it? So, what's interesting with Lux is how slippery I feel. For some reason, I feel like I just like I mean, I'm dead right
[24:04] now, so it's ironic to say, but I feel like I'm just like not dying. Like in times I feel like I would have died on Cra. And I'm just kind of like not dying. Like right there. Just kind of like, okay, we have 4
[24:18] seconds left. We just kind of walked away. Glad we got the third tra will maybe >> put it back in our favor.
[24:30] Think I have to TP into this. I would like this cannon, but they can see my TP though. Should have tpd sooner. They got Baron, but
[24:57] call that a W limit test. Okay, now I would say we're behind. Man, we had we would say we're behind. Man, we had we had a pretty crazy lead, but now it now. Okay, I think I I contributed to that though, right? That's my fault. I should
[25:10] have tpd sooner or or not at all. Do you guys TP sooner or no TP at all? What do you guys like better there? Maybe no TP at all and we actually just get this. Yeah, maybe no TP and we just grab the tower. No TP at all. Push bot sooner. I
[25:24] mean, it was one or the other. Sooner TP or don't TP, but the the timing I did was was real real bad. This needs to be like an insane fight This needs to be like an insane fight for us.
[26:20] We need it. We need it. We need it. We need it. We need it.
[26:34] was that? What? [laughter] HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? WHAT HAPPENED?
[26:50] So, Jinx was dead. I was just holding vision so they could get this. In my head, I'm just going to hold the bush >> so they get the free tra and if anyone pushes, we just one shot him with our ult.
[27:07] H. Is holding vision there not to play? >> Your turret has destroyed. Uh, there would be sick, not the play. Yeah, maybe we just actually just fight there drake. Minus one. It felt like it was going to be super sick. I actually did
[27:24] going to be super sick. I actually did get a kill, too.
[27:53] insane. Uh, we we we we really threw this one. I will say it was one of my best lanes in a long time. We I think I think this one's pretty done cuz I don't think we can Oh, one tower's back up. Maybe it's
[28:06] not over. This Jinx is powerful. I'm powerful. Diego's powerful. Morai is powerful. Everyone's powerful. There's Shin doing stuff here. Be nice if we Shin doing stuff here. Be nice if we could pick the trend.
[28:36] assist or what? Cuz like we we just assisted Quadra twice, bro.
[28:49] minus one. They don't res for another 10. If we can kill Ari before they res, it's insane, right? insane, right? Okay, they res now.
[29:07] need to quadrickill them again. Have TP for this. They have two top Have TP for this. They have two top lane.
[29:20] This is soul. We have soul plus baron now. That would have been a sick pick. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I like that.
[29:38] They're trying to end top. Dang it. like these guys are dead if we can pick a fight. Pretty sure.
[29:58] should be our fight. This should be our fight.
[30:16] He's trying to end the game top here. Who's going back for him? Is it me or Who's going back for him? Is it me or Viego?
[30:48] >> maybe not. Maybe not Zyra. >> Oh, Zyra. Oh, Cyra
[31:03] >> Retreat. Yeah, I think we chill out here. Yeah, I think we chill out here. Hey, our Morichiser's up.
[31:42] >> Yeah, now we end. End through mid, I think.
[31:54] Enter through mid. End through mid. End through mid. >> Trend is up. Moriciser, they're sending Okay, maybe not then. Maybe not. All right.
[32:10] Looked it looked endable to me. to me. But what do I know? >> Your team has destroyed a turret. >> Did they get trimmed? No.
[32:28] Was that not over right there? Am I crazy? then the superior tactic is to never give up. give up. >> Sonia last item.
[32:49] everyone else is just kind of dying. Oh, the Kaisa is pretty strong, too. >> I don't have dark secrets. I have bright lights. I have bright ones.
[33:39] what a weird game. What a weird game, man. What a weird game. So, I feel like Lux is a weird champion, guys.
[33:54] Weird champ. You had many game-winning Q's. I mean, You had many game-winning Q's. I mean, we also just like like the ult is short. I feel like you can really throw his Lux. Like, if I don't hit my Q's or my
[34:06] ult or my E, I'm just kind of literally useless. I don't even know. I I don't even know, bro. That Jinx had two quadra kills that game, too. And we had two quadra assists. That was a weird game, guys. What even was this game? Like we
[34:20] guys. What even was this game? Like we were so ahead and then we were so behind were so ahead and then we were so behind and then we won. [laughter]
