Decided to post game 3 first as I felt this was the game most fans were interested in being reviewed. One mistake from Fnatic led to another and G2 could mount the comeback. Pretty great game imo!

Two things immediately:

  1. Wasn't a mistake from Fnatic, just poorly executed. Broxah and Bwipo shouldn't have been behind G2's turret. Why is FNC positioned like this when their only goal should be to pressure the turret and dance back to Baron? Rekless moving towards G2 even before the charm hit was also horrible.

  2. Flash from Perkz wasn't blind. He's reacting to the auto + q from Nemesis, dodging ult was lucky.

I hate how doing VOD reviews are the thing to do now even though most of them know hardly any more than the average person. I think they take themselves a little too seriously. Yes, Papa included. It sucks that these are the people voting for MVP.

LCS / LEC "analysts": basically anybody with a youtube channel d4+

LCK analysts:

  • Madlife (retired pro - legend)

  • CptJack (retired pro)

  • Bitdory (12 years experience of breaking down MOBA gameplay starting with Chaos)

  • CloudTemplar (retired pro - World's semi-finalist)

  • MC (retired SC2 pro, former LCK coach, current Gen G academy director)

  • LS (former coach)

So you decided to listen to a tiny part of what was a 6 hour VOD review, decided that you didn't agree with 2 things that I said and are now using this as evidence to say I don't know what I'm talking about.

  1. For the most part, you are right. Calling it a mistake was probably the wrong choice of words and execution could have been better. I still, however, believe going for the baron was the safer and better play. They already had all of the vision set up and given G2 were starved of vision, they would have been forced into an extremely unfavourable fight. Instead, they chose a path that gave G2 the best opportunity to come back into the game because they could attack from the flank. At the end of the day, this is why I call it a mistake, but as I mentioned maybe that was the wrong word, it's pretty open to interpretation.

  2. I'm extremely confident he was planning on flashing the ult, however neither you or I can say for sure. I thought the flash was cool, you didn't. This statement actually has nothing to do with the quality of my analysis though, so I'm not sure why you're using it as one.

I'm not sure why you seem to dislike the LCS/LEC casters and feel the need to try and belittle them, but they definitely have a lot of time and experience that make them good at their jobs. As great as I'm sure these people are, consider quoting their actual analysis rather than their qualifications.
