Bro, what is my Trundle doing? Bro, what is going on today? What is going on today, chat? What is going on today? I can't, I can't, bro. I got, I got my shit kicked in so hard by Khan yesterday, and then I queue up instantly next day, and these are my games. But I'm not gonna lie, bro. Like they're different, man. Bro Zeka solo killing my mid laner two minutes into the game—that was a different experience, bro. Bro was fucking locked in, dude. I wonder how the Viet does anyone have Disney Plus? Chat, do any of you guys have Disney Plus? Can any of you guys check to see how Vietnam is doing its career right now? Or has it not started? Nope, too poor?
Nope.
Alright, you're good. So I gotta watch it on Disney Plus? We already got our shit kicked in, bro. There's nothing to watch. If you follow my YouTube, you'll see a recap. I'll have a recap soon. I'll be able to recap the experience. Wow, it's a pretty psycho flash, but we traded flash at least. Bro, what does Sion's W cooldown? That shit's way too short, actually. No way he W's over to fuck with me, right? I'd be so surprised. Okay. God, I'd be so surprised, bro. I'm just keeping it. Don't do it. Don't fall into the trap of ganking top. Don't do it. It's solo queue. It's different than comp. But like, honestly, I just need to stick to my roots, stick to what I know. Like, I know, like, my eyes were open from what Canyon did to me, but like, I should just stick to what I know. I think that's my— that's the best thing that I learned after losing 3 games in a row last 2 hours. How much time do I have? Okay, I have 1 hour. I have to pay for some more time then. It's so loud around you. Yeah, there's something I can do though. It is loud. It's loud as fuck. PC bang or what? Yeah, I'm at the T— is it the T1 facility PC bang? Exactly. Is this any better? You have to flash, bro. You have to flash, bro. Beautiful. Top crab spawning? Not yet. This guy's 1v2ing. That's fucked up. We should play for this camp at least though. This round isn't even bad. Okay, some people are just bitching and moaning. Awesome, bro. What are you guys doing, bro? What are you guys doing? Kiana's like, please, please, please defend my camp, bro. Please.
Please.
Great, bro, let's do that again. Let's do that one more time. You're dead as fuck, bro. You have a girlfriend, Canyon doesn't? Thank you, Sanji. I need— I needed to hear that, bro. Gragas has no flash. I believe in your Trundle. Oh wow, he dodged. He's too good at the game. I'm godlike?
Holy—
I need to retake one time just, just because she— if she's dumb, she might be doing this. Nope. Yo, I should probably play for her Raptor respawn, huh? I should have been there right the moment it spawned.
Okay.
Bro, I should have been dead there, 1,000%. I'm 1,000% sure I should be dead here. Oh my god, I didn't Q myself. Fuck.
It's fine.
Now this Viktor is so disrespectful. Bro, if my Ornn is not gonna participate, then I will fucking take your wave, bro. Gladly.
Oh, he's so weak.
I should have killed someone and then lived. What the fuck? How did that happen? Okay, high chance the Senna is coming for wards. Nope. Okay, we should probably just go for a Shieldbow. We need to kill this Twitch. We need to breathe on Twitch. She'll die. I'm gonna call it a day. Oh my god, staying in my invis there was the fucking best idea ever. I'm not gonna lie though, that Twitch is looking mad scary. Okay, there's like a world where this is possible. It shouldn't be, but my champion is a bit strong. He's kind of low actually. Kog'Maw probably wants this wave, right? So recall, buy our item. Kill Twitch, use Twitch to kill everyone? Yeah, that's the next plan. Yo, Trundle, Trundle, what you up to, Trundle? Trundle's just, just the GOAT, I guess. He just does not die. Uh-oh. But like, as much of a problem as this Qiyana is, the real problem is that Twitch. Bro, that one auto attack didn't kill him. That is just the saddest thing I've ever fucking experienced, bro. All right, kill the Twitch, win the game. Kill the Twitch, win the game. Repeat after me, chat. Kill the Twitch, win the game. Their Kog'Maw is a fucking Nuclear bomb though. I don't like that, bro. I don't like the fact that that Kog'Maw is genuinely a nuclear bomb.
Beautiful.
All the invading you did on me earlier, Qiyana? Fuck you. 'Cause all your shit is mine, bruh.
See ya.
He exhausted and flashed, by the way. Bro, my teammate also deals damage, bro. Bro, I think there's a sneaky Kog'Maw. What is this sneaky Kog'Maw doing, bro? I have one more Q. Q in one. Bonk! You can never hit that on me. I'm playing Diego, bro. Bro, the thing is Twitch has no sums now. This game is just won.
The Bluetooth device that's connected.
Okay, that did look like— that did look a bit Bluetooth, I'm gonna be honest. Fuck, bro upgraded my sh— this dude, this is the shittiest item to upgrade. No, I should have put in position. I think Collector is the best one. Whatever, bro, I'm over it. This is cool skin. It's the Viego skin, bro. It's hard, hard for me to just jump in there. I will just get insta one-shot.
Fuck, fuck, I walked in just like—
I walked in a little too much there. Fuck, bro, that Twitch was actually mine to kill. My little, little guy.
No way, no way, bro. How does Gragas not die there? Bro, that Twitch just has a fucking missile, bro. Missile, bro. I'm not gonna lie, they have, they have all the fucking missile launchers in the world, bro. They have an AK-47, bro. They have Kog'Maw missile launcher. They have Qiyana, this fucking sniper, bro.
I need a Death's Dance. If I Death's Dance there, I can mog. Death's Dance this game is super good because they have so much burst.
Okay, honestly, if I charged my W there, like, I'm a noob.
If I charged my W, the Gragas dies. Because I'm charging my W, Gragas face checks, bang, he's fucked. But I didn't charge my W because I'm just stupid. Like, I think I'm actually stupid. Even if you're dirty in turn, you're like, been like useless all game, once you get items, like, you're lowkey useful. Like, you will be useful. You will deal damage in fights. I mean, this guy's dancing, but like He's useful. I don't think we can, bro. That's the fucked up part. Bro, the Twitch just fucking wanted to kill me so badly. Bro's like, you know, I'm interested in losing the game. Seems like not a bad deal for me, bro. Fuck you. Fuck you as well. I mean, honestly, if we all group together, could we end? Gragas wave clear is too powerful. Nah. We don't have— ahh! Nah, I'm too far away because I went to kill Kog'Maw. Twitch should be up in time. We can go for the dragon after this shit.
I'm coming.
I need Twitch to do whatever Twitch just did there, bro. Just do it again. Just do that shit again, bro. That was great. Just fucking flash in, try to kill me. Do it again, bro. You're going for 125% crit strike? I don't know about that one, bro. I don't know how I feel about that one. Don't think that's the best. Bro, I'm not the only one who's strong nowadays, guys. I hope y'all realize. I mean, like, can we end the game? We can fucking send it, bro. Their Kog'Maw has a lot of waveclear though. Just like fucking hit this shit, bro. All right, pussy out. But get— let's get out of here. Let's get out of here, team. You're crafting right here, bro? He's crafting a recipe right here, man. Shit, shit. 2 hours excessive gaming?
Yeah, they give that update every hour in Korea.
Dude, they're different over here, man. They grind over here, bro. Dude, League of Legends is a fucking Olympic game over here, bro. Like, they're not playing around, man. They gotta give out these warnings, bro.
I'm gonna go back to my base.
Brother hunting me? Shit, bro. What in tarnation is that? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. Anything but that, bro, like, please. What the hell was that ulti?
Okay.
I mean, my Corki is 3, 4, 4 items. Jeez, Corki's fed as fuck, so we can just, can just do that. That's a lot of damage, bro. GG. Their Twitch wasn't able to hit anything. I couldn't drop 20 kills this game.
Fuck. Bro, if I was Corki, I'd be freaking out at my Trundle too, bro.
I'm gonna be honest, man. If I was Corki, I'd be freaking out at this guy. Alright guys, this is gonna be my last game in Korea here. I wanna give you guys my overall thoughts on what's going on with Korean solo queue. Uh, what's the difference? And there's some Viego Viego gameplay over here. I would say one of the main things is everything in Korea is just faster. Everybody wants to fight, everybody wants to play, everybody wants to do things. It definitely is a lot more toxic. People get more frustrated, but overall it's a pretty interesting overall experience. I definitely will say that they're a lot better. They're a lot better over here than they are in NA. Yeah, the biggest difference though is like everybody's getting active, everybody's doing something, everybody Everybody just wants to fucking play the game. It feels good. It's really refreshing. I mean, like, you know, maybe it's not too good that there's 3 kills in 2 minutes. Oh, there's another kill down here. But pretty much, like, that's one of the biggest differences over here is like you're gonna get invaded, you're gonna be fighting. There's just so much chaos and it makes it more fun, but at the same time it makes it a little bit difficult to stay disciplined. And so that's been one of my biggest challenges, is just play a disciplined game and you can win. And so you'll see me, even though this game is gonna be chaotic, to be as disciplined as I can, possibly can. We're hitting the standard full clear. We're gonna do our bot camp here after, and then we're going to go for the crab, and we'll see what kind of lanes we can interact with. It's just standard gameplay. Okay, we'll finish this. Go play around my Thresh here. Oh my god, I missed. Do I have— or what?
She flashed.
I missed. Okay, let's just look for recall here probably in a sec. Maybe with Thresh we can look for a Hexflash play. I wanted that kill, but it's fine. Let's look for a recall here. Let's walk up towards our top side. We'll go play for our Collector, go all the way down towards the bot side. I only make that play because Thresh has his Hexflash, so I'm always looking for some activity there. Let's finish this here. Go do our raptor camp. And then we'll go back to our bot side camps here. LeBlanc has no flash now, we can always make a play down there. This Thresh seems to be really good at landing hooks and just playing. Like, that Thresh hook was pretty insane earlier. Okay, we're losing right now. It's fine, when Thresh comes back we'll make an active play. I will go down there, but— Okay, not warded there. Okay, we found ourselves a kill. I can't— I missed my W. If I land W there, I could kill him. Let's go look for this bot crab here. We have my bot control. I'm gonna go recall, go to my top camps. Let's go top here. I mean, this guy's probably dead. Oh, maybe not. Lillia's going to dip back down.
Yep.
This guy's one-shot, all good. Let's just full clear down towards the bot side again. Repeat, repeat the same thing. As you can see, like, there's just so much activity in this region. It's kind of like the same thing though, honestly, guys. Like, League is League at the end of the day, no matter where you are. Um, and so, like, don't worry about your region, don't worry about that. Just play a good game of League, like, you have a high chance of winning. Promise. Shoutout to all the people who are staying awake at this hour. There's one person that I know is staying awake at this hour to watch my games. Respect. It is like 8 PM Korean time, it's like 6 AM other people, other people like 4 AM. A lot of people are probably European and whatnot, but this is the last game of Korea for me, and we'll be going to the next chapters of stuff, focusing on coaching. When I get back, I'm gonna be coaching a lot. I have a new system, a new formula to coach a lot of people. This looks really good for us. Nice, bro. You're not getting both kills, you greedy ass motherfucker. He's greedy as shit. I'm gonna camp here and then let's just go for the grubs up there. That is my Discord, by the way. Just this, just let you guys know. Just go for the grubs. Fuck the bot crab. Party Panda's game's looking a lot better after your latest coaching. Amazing, huge. Oh fuck, I needed to check on her, but I forgot about Korea. Oh my god, my Mundo's about to get run the fuck down, bro. My Mundo's getting Olaf'd. Holy shit, that guy just got absolutely pummeled. He's a little bit too fast, honestly speaking. Why is that champ so fast? I have no clue. I actually have no idea why that guy's so fast. What the fuck? Let's clear down towards the bot side. Why is it not in Korean font? You can change it in the settings. You can change it in your settings like right now if you want to play in Korean font. But nah, I just changed it because it's harder to play. Harder to see what's going on. If someone pings like flashes, like you just can't tell. So it was like, it was pretty difficult for me to play.
I'm not fucking playing this game.
Okay, got LeBlanc to use flash there at the end. But we're gonna keep giving Lillia a hard time here. It's the best thing for me to do right now.
Can recall here at this point.
Go defend my Krug camp. Let's go for full damage. Let's go for IE. Lillia's only camp to invade is like my Krugs here. Then after, we'll go back to our bot side. This Olaf is gonna overstay for this wave, 1000%. Beautiful. We have to kite him out there. It's like Olaf, like you have to just kite. If you don't kite, you never know what can happen to you. And so here, it doesn't look too pretty for us, so instead of playing, I'm just gonna grab all my camps because my bot lane is also dead. And so everything looks pretty bad for my teammates, but this guy is not allowed to invade me here. Absolutely not.
Beautiful. Okay.
With the one crit there, we get the one-shot. That's perfect. Now my Jinx wants to play into the bot side. You guys can, but I don't necessarily want to. I want to keep making this Lillia's life impossible, which means playing into the top side by a bit here. At least grabbing this top crab. I don't have to go further than that to get the top crab. I see this. Beautiful. Caught ourselves another fish right there. Amazing. Let's go down for the red buff towards the bot side. We do have enough gold for item, so we should probably take these camps and then hit the B button. It's a little bit greedy to even take these, honestly. Like, I regret it. That's okay though, because this guy might do some stupid shit and try to pull the dragon or try to just, just be stupid, bro. And I— yeah, okay, at least Akshan stopped him. We're coming down for this, see if we can help at all. Doesn't look like much. Let's just keep farming here and let's go play for the objective after. Okay, we can just play for this, honestly speaking. It's right here, it's already been pulled. Like, let's just, let's just finish this shit. What I want to do is I want to fake upwards here and then go down towards the bot side. Oh, I don't know if I showed myself there though. Fuck. I hope not, but I've like successfully snuck into the bot lane. Alright, so the whole idea there was sneaking into the bot lane to get that one-shot off. This guy's probably gonna W over the wall here. Very confident about it.
Okay.
Looks like nothing there. We cleared that ward. I mean, like, what are the chances Unoro gets killed again here, right? So let's just wait. 2, 3. Or— oh, I think the ward in the bush spots me because of the phaelites. Yeah, the phaelites spot me, and Yone is mid lane anyway. We should just group for this turret. I don't mind. I deal so much damage. My main goal is to get into the top side anyway. So all of this is just like whatever, so we can play for the Herald. Okay, looks like nothing. Let's look for recall after this. I notice a lot of what I'm doing is not actually just like AFK farming. I'm often matching where the enemy jungler is, and I am fighting her because she's weaker than me, right? So if she's weaker than me, you should always try to fight. Now they have a lot of armor, so I'm definitely gonna go for this item here. Beautiful. I have my Akshan with me there too, so we can easily look for something there. Now I just wanted to push the wave in by a bit. Wait, I missed. Oh fuck. I thought that shit landed for sure. An ally has been slain. Okay, well, he's back up. Okay, I'm not a huge fan of this. Fuck, I should have went deeper. I would have always died after though. Honestly, it was a bait to go in. It's a big, big mistake. But at least we killed Lillia, so my— like, not all my camps are gonna be taken. We could go for the anti-heal one, but it's just for Olaf. Not enough reason for that. I would go pinks, but it's solo queue. I never buy pinks in solo queue. Let's just go play for the Drake here. It's our 3rd dragon. We still have a really good game here. We go blue buff, Gromp, crab, dragon. Their Olaf is Thanos though, like actually Thanos. Alright, it's fine then. I guess I just give this shit up, bro, because my Mundo is top lane. So what can we do? We're trading, so it's fine. No way, my Q gave her passive there. My Q gave her passive there, so she's She can like live. What is this moron doing? Still our control though. Somebody's got to face check me eventually. From what in the Fuck are you doing? Like, what are you guys doing, bro?
Shut down.
Oh my god, bro, I'm so triggered. So triggered that my whole team just question mark things me there as if I can do anything. I need to get a bush kill on somebody face checking. If I landed my W on Annie, Annie would have died too. So sad. I always undershoot my autos or my Ws, especially when the enemies are in fog. I undershoot it still. I mean, I'd love to be able to control that, but we don't have Rammundo with us. Bro, what? Is this allowed? This is just allowed? Okay, fuck, I shouldn't type FF, but like, whatever. I don't know, I'm getting tilted, I guess. I need to calm down. Fuck, my last game and I'm typing FF. Put that shit away. We can win. Mundo's landing good Qs. Bro, chill. All right, Annie, give it to me. I need this. I need this kill on you, Annie. If Annie gives me this kill, we can win the dragon fight.
I'm trying.
Annie has to face check me here. Bro, they're too good. This guy is too good, bro. My Jinx is AFK too. What the— bro, like, where is Annie? She's up there. There we go, bro. Why is my— why is she just AFKing?
What?
Perfect.
I have AIDS. I have AIDS. I've I actually just have AIDS, bro.
I actually hate myself as a Viego main, and I don't time that perfectly. Fuck off.
I should have chased the Olaf too. Olaf has a bigger bounty. I didn't even notice that, to be honest. Bro, you guys can't have that much anti-synergy. Also, my Jinx— my Jinx is tickling, bro. My Jinx is tickling them. She doesn't have fucking LDR, bro. I couldn't cast ulti. Okay, my Mundo's alive though. My Jinx will be coming up soon. That was Lillia's flash. That was just Lillia's flash. Okay, we have our LDRs though, me and Akshan. Akshan's not weak. Private Akshan is not weak. I'm weak, man. No, not me. I mean, like, my teammates, they feel kind of weak. What am I doing? What am I doing? What am I doing? Okay, it's a 4v5. Good luck, team. See you later, chef. Okay, my, my Jinx has an item now. Yo, okay, that's fine.
I keep on— Your engage power has increased.
I think we gotta buy GA here. One good team fight with GA, win the game. GA is a very powerful item in these fights. Their Lulu's gonna be level 18. Keep hitting the wave. Keep hitting the wave, bro. This position is really cheeks for us.
How did my Jinx die?
GG.
GG, bro. All AD comp is not gonna cut it. All AD comp's not gonna cut it, man. Nice try. Alright guys, I think that concludes the few—
the fucking 5-day Korea trip for me. I will be back in NA. I could have ended Korea 24-2 or something, but now my win rate is 28-9.
It's not bad. Anyway, point is, uh, or anyway, like The trip overall was great. Things felt good. Had a good time.
I gotta go say hi to Faker one more time, say hi to the boys, say thanks to them for everything that's happening. So we're gonna go probably meet Faker again, meet the Vietnam team, and then I'm going home in 12 hours, and then I'll be focused on coaching when I'm back home. Are the VODs of the Korean games gonna be available? It's gonna be put on my YouTube channels slowly, all my YouTube channels. So my editor is gonna cook on, on that. But yeah, you know, I appreciate you guys supporting, showing up at these demonic hours. But other than that, guys, I will see you all in the next stream. Peace, peace, everyone. Appreciate you all.
