35:53 Quickshot casting the rhymes:
"For the double" for the ace, For the baron, and the base!

[albeerola]

"Champions can fall, gods can bleed.
Where were you when the West rose up to conquer champions?
G2 Esports eliminates SK Telecom."

I still watch this game when i'm sad to feel the hype i felt with it, what a legendary moment.

"It took Doublelift 8 years, and Steve had to spend a bazillion dollars and steal half of Cloud9." -Frosk
Lol true.

53:25 Sjokz: Nice and respectfull
*the next day* Wunder tweets "ready for the fastest bo5 ever"?

[swx]

For the double, for the ace, for the baron and the base!

[카미사토아야토-in]

Still here witnessing the greatest roster Europe has ever produced after Carlos said only Caps and Jankos will stay in g2 for 2022.

[cutebeloved]

there has never been a team with as insane of a peak as G2 had im hoping people understand that G2 through these months was the strongest team we have ever seen which is why it was so absurd they came from europe. no other team was this disturbingly well balanced and innovative its crazy even looking back how they even made worlds finals like being the BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD for 12 months has never been done before and they were a single series off of it. Incredible

And here I am rewatching classics just like my father used to watch football classics on VHS

[declanellery]

As an EU fan, I'm glad G2 won, I'm also glad that we have a long thought impossible EU vs NA international Final as proof that the gap has closed.


But I think this series and this MSI has shown us that while the gap has closed, Korea is still a very competitive region, and I'm glad that Faker especially is still able to impress with huge plays on the international stage, especially after last year. Looking forwards to seeing SKT at worlds.

“Champions can fall, Gods can bleed. Where were you when the West stood tall?” Goosebumps man. Goosebumps.

"The gap be damned"
TY QUICKSHOT

[callumanon]

man 2019 really was such an insane year for western esports

[MrNuggin]

Felt like a final. Especially after such meager performance by NA in finals.

[burnbobquist]

Caps Dad and the G2 Army cheering for G2 is always great to see. <3

[thecurdy]

Quickshot was such a legendary caster. He will always be missed. Thanks, Trevor!

[jah]

Holy the salts gonna be real G2’s vs TL I would of never expected for this outcome I hope it’s a close b05 game

[trulydumb]

Congrats EU, we’re happy for you, see you in the finals.

Either way a trophy is going home to the west - let’s be proud boys.

[jasondouchet]

Hats off to SKT for putting one hell of a fight against G2, Korea is still resilient as ever. The gap between the West end the East has definitely closed and I really hope to see an instant classic tomorrow ! EU VS NA, let's go !

[Dapperbutfrail]

honestly for a 5 game series this was pretty insane. so few blunders like im used to seeing.
teddy tping was painful but he made up for it with an insane performance in g5.
also jankos and co going over that wall into 4 people in g5 was a big yikes. hard to tell if thats on jankos or wunder not sure on the cooldowns there.

regardless compare these games to NA's finals where doublelift and xmithie made it look like they were trying to make it a 3-2 series and its just a whole different level.

i can only hope that TL doesnt panic and continues to do what they do best tomorrow

[TheCurse.]

i rewatch this series before g2 plays at international tournaments like worlds and msi trying to rekindle the fire that this g2 roster had.
