#Caedrel #Rox #SKT - Hry
I remember 16 years old me staying up until 6 am to finish this series and how mindblown i was when they picked mf support. If you would ask me in a few years what my favourite pro play moment was, then it would propably still be this series.
The years when the game is still playable.
@Fan Fan item rework achieved none of its goal and just made building more boring
@@Tom-jy3in nah you're trippin. Like i get the nostalgia but they wanted more item build diversity and they definitely got it. Like yes there are always moments when one mythic is op but thats normal and back then we also had whole metas build around one item. Just think about ardent or tank meta.
@Fan Fan yeah, but people complain about everything like if we get ardent meta now or tank meta it will only be entertaining for 3 months and then maybe just to watch worlds but thats it. It's a basic power creep problem, to solve it they would have to reset almost every dmg stat and that would only happen in off-season.
After many many years, i still think this is the best series. And Also i still considering Team - Smeb, Peanut, Kuro, PraY, Gorila as the best team ever. I know they lost but i liked the way how they played.
Best professional series of all time without a doubt, from the suprise mf support, the game 2 arrow, the faker highlight reel and the bengi redemption storyline having to first pick nidalee because kkoma forgot to ban it and him carrying. I remember watching this entire series live and it was peak league.
G2 vs RNG IMO
Makes you miss the crowd too
EDG vs DWG
Fr
@@ipogoz2166 That's for G2 fans only, that series wasn't even the best series at Worlds that year - KT vs IG was. Although I do have to admit, watching the RNG players die under their mid inhib turret for the first time was a cathartic experience.
Seeing Peanut having that much fun just makes me smile. The fact that he is flashing in and dieing on Lee Sin and than laughing like he made an insane outplay. Sometimes I miss this kind of joy the players have these days
Shame he inted the series
They were the jolly have fun playul we are friends team. I remember hating them so much because I was an akt fan lol
@@magnusballard512 he literally was a big part of the rox early game power, in this series when rox won their games he was everywhere on the map.
They still have this sort of fun. Not all, but watch more games, you’ll see it
that MF pick was one of the most legendary picks ever, it tore skt up so hard they had to ban it. absolutely crazy series
They banned ashe. Not mf. Mf sp was useless without ashe
With prays ashe, it's a mix of both
In today's (Spring 23) meta, I can only say, GorillA walked so Keria can run.
As MF support main since preseason 4, I was glad that it was shown to not be a troll pick on worlds stage, but that also ruined support MF over the seasons since riot didnt like it.
I remember I was at the 2015 finals live in Berlin when ROX was KOO tigers, SKT was crazy good that year and if i remember correctly the only game they dropped was against KOO in the finals. Really hope another worlds will be in europe as the athmosphere was crazy.
Also was at that event, the emotions were crazy. Nice to see someone else, who experienced that :)
Okay but let’s be real you can’t really be mad cause bengi really just gapped peanut
15 Worlds SKT 15-1
14 Worlds SSW 14-2(15-2)
@@jeancarlosgonzales988 in 2015?
There was no Peanut yet
Next year, they'll be back to EU hopefully.
MSI is in Busan, SK.
Worlds is in the US, iirc.
this is still my favorite Bo5 to date
what an awesome series
high level gameplay, hype crowd, interesting picks great shoutcasting
love this semis
the fact that this is a semi too. love this series
2022 Worlds finals is on par with this Bo5
@@eyouukun1211 i agree
@@eyouukun1211I disagree. Drx win was hype as a underdog story and meaningful for deft , but the Rox vs SKT was a back n forth rivalry for the past 2 years culminating to this final bo5.
I remember this, I was there at the semi finals. It was held in NYC at Madison Square Garden crowd was insane the energy there was definitely an experience 😁
I rmb this series way to well. As a rox fan, I was so happy to see them leading 2 1 against the unstoppable Skt, only for them to lose in the end. It was so heartbreaking. But I will still have great memories of this series like the Ashe Miss fortune pick, and the 2 v 4 fight in game 3 of the series. Truly one of the gems of lol esports
Man yea i remember watching it live as a 15 year old rox fan, loved it so much, still have the platinum ROX worlds icon on my league client
100% The run Rox Tigers had world was crazy! I'm not completely sure, but as I remember it Rox were def not favorites coming in, basically underdogs. But they showed up big time and were a joy to watch. In hindsight with that roster ofc they'd be good, Kuro got me into playing Viktor back in the day, he was a fucking beast (though he was mostly on Karma duty this series, and who can blame a coach for wanting to play it safe against Faker). Regardless, Smeb, Peanut, Pray and Gorilla on that team too, SHEEEEEESH such a banger roster. Watching them lose to SKT again is a bit heart breaking, but eh if they had to lose to someone it should be SKT i suppose.
Literally all 10 members on the field that day were pretty much performing in their peak form against each other's team. It's honestly impossible to point out a player who performed in a lackluster way, only those who managed to outplay another.
@@jacobaaandersen They were the favorites to win over skt and the worlds on 2016, peanut was so good at that time and smeb was being branded the best lol player in lck, also pray gorilla being the best duo.
@@deecee7073 You're def right, looked it up. I'm not sure where that memory came from, but i def remember wrong. But yeah the roster was goated
This Caedre; guy seems good.
He should try his hand in casting.
The fact that Rox didn't win this series makes me sad to this day, the team was just so much fun to watch and all the players just genuinely seemed to love playing together. Sadge
the superman bengi series save was insane to watch too though, at least they didnt lose to themselves
This series is what humbled Peanut. I hated ROX Peanut, even though this was his most dominant form. I will never like that cocky version of Peanut.
Same :/
@@roswellrovillos8272 cringe, cocky peanut is the best. Showing his prowress and his skill. I wish he could go back to his glory days
@@jup2up311 Hence why I hated him because he was so cocky and he could actually back it up with his play. But it was so satisfying seeing him lose during that semis.
Man I love my favorite caster whomst I also watch on youtube known as Caedre;
Whomst?
Is that a meme--
Banger to watch live in between a banger DWG GenG series. I wish Caed did the entire thing tbh. T1 vs Rox and T1 vs SSG retrospective casts with Drakos in the off season, maybe?
SKT WBG
Underrated hype moment for me was Bengi busting out the Nidalee and balling after everyone said he was washed/didn't play it.
More old school series reviews!
The cool thing about that story is that it was actually very true, he didnt play nidalee, hell its basically the reason SKT picked up Blank. Bengi has exactly 1 professional game on her and its in game 4 of this series.
If you watch the comms for that draft, they were supposed to ban nidalee. But faker said to kkoma that they can leave nidalee open for a free ban, so rox need to ban nidalee. Kkoma asked bengi if he was okay with playing nida for the team if it wasn't banned, and he said yes. Rox think that they can just not ban nidalee and pick it since bengi barely ever played nidalee, and they were punished by bengi, what a legend.
League in 2016 was so much better, I remember when I was watching the Worlds live, and the arrow from PraY canceled Duke's tp, it was epic but a shock for an SKT fan.
No stopwatch, no objective bounty, no crazy damage...
Good times, good times...
This is probably my favorite series of all time. I got to see group stages this year live and I’ll always remember that. Was fun going down memory lane. People tend to forget that the finals were pretty good to this year. SKT almost got reverse swept by Corejj and SSG. Would love to see you do other iconic series like this!
I was in MSG for this series. The only series I've watched live and oh boy...was that a banger. I remember screaming like a groupie on Pray's arrow! I was 25 lol
Same, but I was a bit younger- just turned 18 and my first long distance trip without family was out to NYC for the weekend with a friend for this series... so worth it.
Clearly the difference of a game with rune pages from 2016 from 2022 it's night and day. You wouldn't have to worry with easy snowballs, as long you wouldn't do crucial mistakes and keep farming; And above all, all champs had a certain balance in it.
Was at this series at MSG. I'd never watched something that long in one sitting before. But was on the edge of my seat the whole time. These teams were so evenly matched... great series man. Would love to see more retroactive content like this.
i remember i first started to follow the pro matches in season 6, i really liked the LCK because of the cast and the time they streamed. It was Peanut's first season as a starter on a roster, and the casters said that he was probably the most aggressive jungler at the time. Always picking Lee, Elise and Graves. He steamrolled every jungler in the LCK, always hard carrying on his picks (getting 10+ kills etc). He was the reason i got into the jungle role, and seeing him still play on GenG makes me excited for what he can bring in the future. Peanut fighting!
I'm so lucky to have watched this series live. It was my first year getting into league and couldn't have been better timing
I watch this series at least once every year. worlds back then was the shit, so much hype, and this series especially is legendary
This series was so hype! Everyone loved Peanut, although sadly he peaked at that tournament and was never quite able to recapture the magic after, a bit like Broxah in 2018 worlds.
Big nostalgia trip though, holy shit. Those runes! This was a really good meta, aside from tank Ekko top. It's kind of a shame that this chad 2016 meta, and the 2018 solo lane dominance meta are sandwiching the awful, awful 2017 Ardent Censer meta. Though my favourite was 2019's meta, where the top 2 teams were those who actively rejected the meta and won with creative picks.
Season 3 with zed and jayce as flex picks was probably my highlight meta :D
2018 was the best league meta ever.
Peanut peaked at 2017 MSI IMO. After the censer meta came he was never the same
@@nathanhosea489
He just choked in every single playoffs he ever did
Still one of my most favourite matches in history. 2016 LoL had a lot of really amazing series
I watched this match live in the stadium, I thank my lucky stars everyday that my dad stayed through all 5 games. He wanted to leave after game 1. Thanks dad
2016 worlds is one of the best worlds to date. from the giants of lck/lpl to the underdog like ANX! that worlds is full of surprises
Only 2018 LPL are top. But starting from season 3 in 2013 until 2017 LPl is look like NA or EU. For 5 years straight LCK rule the world. Even semis and finals LCK vs LCK.
Can we agree that Esports has awesome story arcs.
I mean look at last years story of
T1 v DRX
That entire series was a movie script
SKT v SSG replay watch would be so sick. Two of the best finals ever!
No mythics, no 100 to 0 on 8 minutes, actual vision on the map, no plates, no obj bounties, damn... I prefer S4 Worlds meta over this one but the game would be in a much better state if it came back to S6. Call me old-fashioned, but actual Team Fights that are more than "dive ADC, press W, Q, dead" are so fun to watch.
2016 was truly the golden year for League of Legends.
The game was so good. Fuck seein this just make me hate the game nowadays.
man the damage creep. How many times I went "damn he's dead" watching these games and they end up with over 50% hp...
I miss this so much... they havent made a single good decision after zoe's release
The only ever LoL pro match I watched in person, and I believe I somehow managed to choose the best one of all.
What a great casting for a great game. No bullshit ads. No statistics just for show. No forced narratives. Just describing and hyping the game.
Another banger would be SKT vs Misfits worlds, i will always remember these games.
Dude I love this Cadre; dude. He seems like he can carry XL to playoffs
ah the tank ekko days, love it! This was a fire series! Also PRAY ARROW WAS GODLIKE
And SKT as per usual just the best team around!
it's amazing how in s12, the towers would be instantly gone even without the minions just the buff
Man watching the old items and how it wasn't all about 'who gets goredrinker first' but utility. Both junglers going for the trackers, karma building athenes, mf support building support instead of being a second midlaner. No rumble ult burning 4 people to death from full, no Lee Sin Q-R-Q killing somebody in the lategame. Genuinely makes me sad how much better the game was and what it is now.
Even back then people shit on the meta. Every meta always has people complaining about it.
Man... so fun re-living this series. Watching adc literally survive more than .5 seconds makes my heart burst lol
A year before the "adc in 2k17" meme, what went wrong? :(
man this roster of rox tiger was my fav team, really takes me back
Such a great video And "series" Idea i hope you could do this with 2018 ig vs kt as well it's one of my favourite matches of all time!
Love the nostalgia here, hopefully MSF vs SKT with gigachad IgNar on Blitzcrank game 2 rewatch soon
The best series ever!! Every game was spectacular on its own, 1st game was very tight, 2nd game ROX picked MF support back in the days where something like that was an ABSOLUTE SUPRISE because weird flex pick were super rare, the ARROW, 3rd game also super tight, subbing Bengi and Blank,Bengi first time Nidalee on the brink of defeat, Faker dodging everything in game 5. Cant get better than this.
Watching this series made me remember how much I miss this version of league
That PraY ashe arrow has to be one of the best plays in League history
was lucky enbough to see this series live and it remains one of my favorite sporting events
No one would think that Bengi was on a slump in 2016 regular season when you watch this series. Was the unused jungle in MSI and IEM 2016 also.
Me watching when I started playing in season 7 "man the game was just better" I wish I could experienced everyone not oneshotting or getting one-shot
This video made me so nostalgic im tearing up
Koo/Rox Tigers are my fav team ever. They always just had so much fun playing and would do the craziest stuff
Was at this game and the crowd was so loud. What you hear on the replay just imagine that times like 10
I adopted ekko on his release, and the moment i learned of ekko tank top i queued up to play it. Thats actually how i became a toplaner
And people were talking how Bengi was carried to 3 world's titles and washed... truly sad how people want to rewrite history, because they don't like the player.
I got to see this live. What a great series holy shit.
My favourite is still KT Arrows Vs SSB in Korean finals. This is with my own bias as a Kakao fan and rookie fan.
I loved that whole series so much.
I was there for this game in New York and was the greatest thing I ever witnessed in live sports.
Man this was peak League of Legends, Caedrel's nostalgia is resonating.
Bengis Lee Sin is sooo underrated. He rarely gets mentioned, when we talk about legendary Lee Sins, but he actually should have 2 Skins on this champ. One for season 3, and another one for this beauty...
Old games' reviews are soo cool. More!
low damage was so much better, every single game ive played and was into the pvp had the same problem, powercreep
This is peak League of Legends and it comes from the SKT/ROX 2016 series.
Pretty sure I stayed up all night for this series. Still worth it.
this was my first season playing lol and watching worlds that time didn't disappoint one bit
This is the start of Keria's story (wherever he was at the time watching this match), who would have guessed that in 2023/2024 we'd be playing all manners of weird botlanes for the sole intention of securing early push etc.
I was at this series in chicago everyone stood up and screamed at the Pray arrow that stopped Duke's recall this will always be my favorite series
This series was played at the staples Center in NYC
i was at MSG live for this, freaking epic
fun fact this was the first pro league match i have ever watched
You know what would be crazy? A bunch of friends goofing around going pro and ensuing chaos on the world stage.
Smeb, Peanut, Kuro, Pray and Gorilla: And we took that personally.
Was at this game live, was a Banger!! The Ashe arrow had the place going wild
trackers knife and the time when Insect flash was still a godlike play, good old days mann.
Can we please get more content like this? The Nostalga is real!
Making me cry about the past
This series showed how just beyond god lvl skt was and that this was the best roster lol ever saw and will ever have seen. They get beaten by an mf support pick twice and they say you know what let's uno reverse them and use their own strat against them and they just obliterate them with a strat they never even trained while Rox's been training that comp for a while.
more content like this please
Remember watching this livestream when I was 13. Now I'm a College Freshman. Nostalgia
was on the first level for this... found someone's ticket and tried to return it to the people at the entrance to seating and they told me i could sit there and bring whomever i wanted
sick series sick everything
35:40 still give me chills
You can see all the players smiling. Now noone smiles in the LCK... Such good times.
This was such a good series. I miss that Rox team, so much fun to watch
I kept saying 2016 season was the best I played, but watching it back... Makes me even more convinced. Goat meta.
Peak of League of Legends everybody! I miss so much this runes men..
The fact that the caster actually say ashe supp is shit and for a few patches this season she was giga op XDDD
I remember watching that crazy ashe arrow from the first game.... it was sooo insane
"Support Ashe sucks" Keria has been offended.
from all of those player, only Faker and Peanut left.
and faker still made to semifinals/finals at worlds, crazy.
After the disappointing finals watching this feels like a drug
Ah yes, Caedre;
my favourite caster
this made me realize how much the game has changed over all those years..
I like how people aren’t dying in 2 seconds
what live stream is this i wanna watch the full stream.
I was at this match in person and I can promise you, if you think Pray’s arrow was hype online you should’ve heard it in person. My brother and I were on our feet freaking tf out.
“RUMBLE WORLDS 2022!!!”
My favorite series of all time.
Peanut is one of my favorite players and seeing him broken like that at the end just hurts.
I really enjoy your videos, and it‘ll be a blast if you find the time to upload more of the reviews and costream highlights.
While changing things is important for the game to not stagnate, RIOT really hasn't always done the best changes...
Many weren't horrible as well, but the insane difference from 6 years ago and how many good things were taken is just insane.
This was the top tank meta between Tank Ekko, Poppy, and I can't recall the last one but it was always a 3 way triangle between the 3 tank champs. I just remember Ekko and Poppy being HUGE top lane meta picks. Maybe it was Shen that was the 3rd tank top laner that was OP.
League was so much better back then man, id give so much to be able to play this season again
The arrow gives me chills honestly
As an Eu Fan my favorite is G2 vs RNG all time series but man I almost cry when I watch this one to ... So god damn good so different I have to say . This looks like nothing we have today . Today everything is so flashy no controlled plays no time to outplay the enemy many times cuz you get 30% HP down from a Maokai E randomly... Fuck man I miss old league
Fpx Ig 2019 worlds for me is the best series ever, so much fighting and mechanical plays.
