hello and welcome back to the blame game the lcs has finally kicked off with the first week of lock in tournament which means we get some gameplay to dissect we're starting this episode off with abu dhabi versus flyquest as well as whippo's scion build so without much further ado let's get into it psych there is more ado a whopping NUMBER_TOKEN percent of you watch the first episode of the blame game unsubbed and there are only NUMBER_TOKEN new subs on that video i swear to god if this video doesn't get at least NUMBER_TOKEN new subs next week i will screech randomly during the video and try and blow out your ears okay also i record this live on my URL_TOKEN so if you want to see how these are made you can do that right now twitch chat's just uh spamming away trying to distract me but i'm i'm too focused our first topic this week is from one of the biggest upsets in lock in so far which is the zero two flyquest taking down NUMBER_TOKEN thieves abu dhabi in particular was criticized for being invisible most of the game more than anyone else on his team with this draft hundred thieves got counterpick for both of their solo lanes as well as securing closers viego this should translate to easy top side control in order to push in and get deep boards down to scout the xin out followed by heavy trading in your winning lanes for then viego to show up and pick up some cleanup kills however i have no other word to describe how hundred thieves approached this game than lazy it honestly felt like the stereotypical trap game in the first NUMBER_TOKEN minutes of gameplay hundred thieves never placed a deep ward the furthest they ever got was into the jungle entrances of their opponent as opposed to getting them on top of the actual clearing paths that the zin would take they also never worked in tandem to push in for deep vision together everyone was content to just sit in lane and jungle and afk farm even this wasn't handled particularly intelligently because on their first mountain drake force they did it on a mid reset from abu dhabi and closer showed on the ward afterwards meaning zinzal could trade that out for the rift herald on the strongest point of the map NUMBER_TOKEN thieves for free this combined with the second rift which was also dropped mid meant that flyquest took the hundred thieves mid lane turret pre-NUMBER_TOKEN minutes abu dhabi in particular was well targeted by flyquest's first usage of their packet de cooley uses it aggressively in lane to bait a counter attack from abu dhabi which is then punished because he had jose deodo in his back pocket to trade flashes out for the mid lane it's a good trade against syndra who wants to be the one dictating the lane and can now no longer play aggressive without her flash up he still gets priority but can't quite push the lead the way he wants to by NUMBER_TOKEN minutes into the game abu dhabi is effectively a non-factor the only big individual mistake abu dhabi makes this game is getting caught in his rotators after trying to cover a bot dive while his mid turret was down flyquest have complete control of the bottom jungle and after the bot dive has been fended
