00:00Alice are going to be really good.
00:02Oh, they go for the Bruno.
00:03Okay, they get the glue.
00:04So Bruno counters Claude in lane.
00:06Olay.
00:07While glue is just the tempo breaker
00:11that OnyxPH needed a little bit more of in their team fight.
00:14Glue's enough to be a distraction too in that front line.
00:17Go ahead and soak up if they need to.
00:20But also the Bruno tends to be what we've talked about a lot,
00:23being that counter pick into the Claude.
00:25We saw that work wonders in the regular season
00:27for the teams that decided to go for it.
00:29So they have a ton of damage for Onyx.
00:33And oh, there's the answer.
00:34Edward, he's going to pull out the Benedetta.
00:39I like that we get to see all this on the global level,
00:42but now let's focus in on this
00:44as we jump into Land of Dawn
00:46and our battle, the international rivalry,
00:49the last one we'll see of Season 17.
00:52Day one already feels like a grand of finals.
00:55Of course, Super Friends would want to get pulled yourself together
00:57as the Gord needs faster access to that flicker.
01:00Aggressive trades in the mid,
01:02as expected, the Khalid and Valentina together.
01:05Mid-brio is going to determine a lot of the early wins.
01:08River control, very important for these two.
01:10Now with Glue going to Onyx,
01:13they have a slightly slower lineup.
01:15That's Aurora's invading.
01:16Oh, forcing a flicker out of Brusco.
01:19And Onyx Philippines are on the receiving end
01:22of an Orange Gambit themselves.
01:24That projectile saved a life right there.
01:26That little stun kept them alive, but good thing.
01:30But they're showing aggression here in the early game already.
01:32Who is this game?
01:33What a jump by Light and Demon Kite.
01:37They draw first blood.
01:38He just paid for it.
01:39A lot of growth by Aurora here.
01:40They know their Benedetta is faster than this Glue.
01:43Again, that's why they invaded Orange.
01:44They continue to invade.
01:45Brusco running through three,
01:47stopping the invasion.
01:49But Demon Kite wants it.
01:50He's hungry.
01:51Do you want it?
01:52Do you want it?
01:52And he gets it.
01:53Oh, and they jump him.
01:55King Kong punishes the Celebrity.
01:58And Light eats up one.
02:01Oh, fair enough.
02:02King Kong actually secured.
02:03Without a retribution?
02:04Yeah, he secured his own purple buff.
02:06He went in there with the space escape.
02:08Demon Kite falls.
02:09So Onyx gets to defend the aggression of Rora early.
02:12They lost their Orange.
02:13But in the long run,
02:14Onyx actually won that long sequence.
02:17Yeah.
02:18You know, it's Rora doing things differently.
02:21It's not how you start, it's how you end.
02:23Yes.
02:23And that early sequence,
02:25as Remar said,
02:25goes to the Super Fam.
02:27First turtle, though.
02:28Who's going to take it?
02:29First turtle being up here.
02:31Both teams have some crucial level 4s.
02:34That was U.A. taking the missing gush.
02:36So he's got that for this fight.
02:37They're going to go ahead and start this turtle up.
02:38But Brusco will hold it here.
02:40Onyx can't rush it right now.
02:42Brusco doesn't have Golden Hour.
02:43Light not get level 4 just yet.
02:44Kirk does have his mount if he wants it.
02:49Get half health on the turtle.
02:51They're going to go for this.
02:51Holding it.
02:52They take light down.
02:53Getting the mount and everything thrown at him.
02:56King Kong looking for that angle.
02:58But DK will secure turtle 1.
03:00Goes to the Northern Lights.
03:01Worthy sacrifice by Light.
03:03I'm sure he just wanted to get vision.
03:05But with him going down and Ony committing a lot of their abilities.
03:08Dominikite up top.
03:10He's feeling himself.
03:11Forcing Severo back.
03:12Multiple times in the season.
03:14Severo has had Dominikite's number in the gold lane.
03:17With their little duos.
03:18But with the very first big trade.
03:20It's Dominikite who goes out on top.
03:22But for long time fans of Dominik del Mundo.
03:25A.K.A. Dominikite.
03:26They know that the strength of this jungler.
03:28Rather this gold laner.
03:30Is in the laning phase.
03:31So if there's any time Dominikite will win against Evero.
03:34It's in the first five minutes.
03:35It's going to be a great series.
03:37Just already with these first three minutes of game one.
03:41They have some time to go ahead and settle in.
03:43And now with a heck of a start.
03:45For Aurora being on the more aggressive side.
03:47You know that could be enough to go ahead and start to set things in their favor.
03:51But one thing they do have to go ahead and take note of is.
03:54Again King Kong despite all the pressure.
03:56It's pretty much fine.
03:57You know he's and that's going to be the case with a Harley like this.
03:59So and I'm wondering where do they find these little openings.
04:02Where do they find these little windows of opportunity for them.
04:05Also because you have Brusco on the Marcel.
04:08So when you think you want to start with tempo.
04:10Marcel can be enough to kind of stop that from happening.
04:14So Aurora have information that Severo is close to a minute away from getting his flicker back.
04:19He's at 50 and counting less than.
04:21And so that's why Aurora would commit a rotation from light to go goldcrab.
04:25So that Dominikyte would be able to take it.
04:27Because they know that Severo cannot play risky and try to take it away.
04:30There's a cut by DemonKind behind Severo.
04:32Oh.
04:32The Severo know the pressure.
04:34Ill intent from the northern lights.
04:36For now.
04:37DemonGuyte with a beating duet.
04:39And here comes the save.
04:40Goldenauer.
04:41Stolen gun.
04:42Where does it go?
04:43And it seems like they flopped it.
04:45They jumped the flicker.
04:46The dive.
04:48Salvero lives.
04:50Oh my god.
04:51Light.
04:52He's going to be the one to get punished.
04:54What a counterplay from Onix.
04:56They went too deep.
04:57They went too deep.
04:58Brusco with the save.
05:01Aurora tried to take a page from Onix's book with all this aggression.
05:05But it takes just a nice little platinum snap to snap Aurora out of their comfort.
05:12Oh man.
05:12That's exactly what I was saying.
05:14You know, you want to set the tempo.
05:15Well, there's a Marcel across from you.
05:18And you saw how much value a perfectly timed golden hour can give to your team.
05:23And look at this though.
05:25There is going to be a bit of a trade.
05:26Edward will grab some extra gold.
05:28Oh.
05:28Off that bottom side.
05:29I want to do it again.
05:30Dominikite, BMI through.
05:32Brusco again to the rescue.
05:34Forcing a defensive rampaging sandstorm.
05:36Oh my lord.
05:38The long con by Onix.
05:39When everyone thought they were experimenting with an import.
05:42Here they were using it as bait.
05:44Oh!
05:45Gosh on the light.
05:46He might fall.
05:47What's more balls in his face?
05:48Salvero.
05:49Can't finish the job.
05:50Aurora will be able to get away.
05:52But Onix, this is why they like the glue.
05:54It loses in the big overall rotations compared to the Benedetta.
05:57But when you see when it comes to the fighting.
05:59It's kind of awkward for the Gwyn.
06:00Kind of awkward for the Claude.
06:02Even for the Benedetta.
06:03Because of all that tempo breaking.
06:05And that's just the Marcel we've seen most of it.
06:07We haven't seen Kirk for a lot of these big sequences.
06:09When it gets to that.
06:11Aurora might have some difficulty.
06:13Yeah.
06:14They're already having a little bit of difficulty.
06:15And trying to deal with focusing on Salvero.
06:19Because Brusco has just been so well protecting him.
06:22And staying on that side of the map if he has to.
06:24And that's one of the benefits of being able to travel fast as well.
06:27Again, that's just Marcel.
06:29Marcel.
06:30Oh.
06:32Another one.
06:33Demon Kai barely gets away by the skin of his teeth.
06:38Okay.
06:39He stays alive.
06:41Surprised at how many beams we're seeing not convert into kills.
06:44But they are knocking down turrets.
06:46That's what they're going for.
06:46Hey.
06:47Technical knockouts are still knockouts.
06:49It leads to Demon Kai not being present.
06:51And the only real place that Aurora can breathe is where Edward is.
06:56Yeah.
06:56He has to open up the map here.
06:58That allows a few more avenues for Aurora.
07:01But until Aurora gets the tower in mid.
07:03All the side lane pushes might not be that beneficial to them.
07:08Onyx handles the long lanes and far lanes very well.
07:12They have had fantastic macro this season.
07:15And they're willing to give it up if they know they get a big objective.
07:17If they go, if they know they get Turtle 3, if they know they get Lord 1.
07:21Yeah.
07:21This Turtle is going to be up.
07:22Last one in the game here.
07:24Pulled through.
07:24Edward is going to join this one.
07:25It looks like after he clears mid.
07:27He's got a blade at Hepzies too.
07:29So depending on where he puts his Petrify, I like the final blow.
07:31He's going to be pumping out damage.
07:32And there they come.
07:33Golden Hour stopping the action.
07:35And a stolen one by Yui.
07:37The fight is broken out all the way back.
07:39And Bruce Defoe's Requiem by Demokite finding Kirk.
07:43And this has split up the Super Fam.
07:46And just like that, Rora.
07:48Gather back.
07:49And King Kong running away.
07:50You went.
07:51Oh, bang.
07:52Go, go, King Kong.
07:54They go for the Turtle.
07:55Rora scores the final one.
07:57Terrific counter by Aurora.
07:59Onyx tried to salvage that by sending Severo and Super Prince in the mid.
08:04But since Edward was there, they couldn't cover.
08:06I was a little bit wary of that fight for Onyx heading into that.
08:09Because Kirk was in the mid trying to clear lane.
08:12It seems like they weren't talking with each other.
08:14If Brusco and Kirk were a little bit more connected and you had the glue
08:17messing up the back line of Rora, it wouldn't have gone that way.
08:20Since the glue was slightly out of position and out of time,
08:24Onyx just got run over by Rora.
08:26Great Golden Hour as well by Yui.
08:28Benefited the doubt.
08:29I, myself, am an advocate of Kirk.
08:31Maybe he was playing man-to-man defense with Edward.
08:33Maybe that was the wrong call.
08:35Maybe you shouldn't have done that.
08:36Yeah, because Edward's going to be hard to man-to-man defense against,
08:40you know, just because of how much he can maneuver around the fight.
08:42Best case scenario, what do you get?
08:43You mount the Benedetta.
08:44Yeah.
08:44And then what?
08:45The Benedetta takes you for a ride away from your team.
08:47Yeah, Rora gets to do whatever they want anyways.
08:49Yeah.
08:50I know, Onyx, we're thinking about the chance of Rora getting a big team fight win
08:54and then getting their tower pushed in mid.
08:56But at that point, with Super Prince and Severo able to get away from that,
08:59they were all right.
09:00Oh, look at the damage being burnt down onto Severo.
09:04Onyx, just like that, suddenly struggle to play proactively against Aurora.
09:10They're up 2,000 gold.
09:11Domenkite getting this push up top, and the map suddenly turns red.
09:15Oh, he's got an easy push on that tier 2 top turret.
09:19Domenkite bringing that down, and, you know, you're thinking here for Onyx.
09:22Oh, oh.
09:23Oh, Requiem.
09:24Beautiful catch.
09:26This is a defensive use.
09:27Alpha goes an hour of the answer as well.
09:30Now, stopping them from pushing forward.
09:31Light, barely a lot, gets taken down by a rolled projection coming from Prince.
09:37The World D came out in time as well.
09:41Super Prince's first initial mystic gush was actually diminished by Uwe.
09:45But the golden hour by Brusco to follow up after Uwe's golden hour
09:49is what put Aurora in a better spot for Onyx to at least get a kill onto Light.
09:54River control and mid control, still for Onyx, heading into Lord 1.
09:59Edward will push the side lanes, while Onyx will have to manage that one up top.
10:03In terms of the gold, big lead for Domenkite compared to Severo.
10:07But Severo isn't that poor in terms of the resources.
10:11He's getting his items on the way to a Malefic gun.
10:14Yeah, he's got that.
10:15Not only that, but he's also got a situation where, you know, he's got his two items.
10:20They're going to have to fight for this Lord here.
10:21It's at half health on this point.
10:23It looks like they're blitzing it.
10:25Yeah, because Brusco has no golden hour.
10:28Super Pham, respawn, Aurora jumping in.
10:31Domenkite with a blazing to it.
10:33And the golden hour stopping it all.
10:35And they do find the Lord.
10:37Domenkite was working hard on it.
10:39Mr. Consistent finds one.
10:41Down goes the pressure.
10:42And they get Kirk.
10:43Kirk, Kirk very low.
10:44Kirk surviving, but just barely.
10:46As Aurora takes everything.
10:49Requiem knockup just in time by Aurora.
10:53And Onix, since they picked up the Marcel and gave away the Valentina.
10:58The snapshot, the golden hours have been better for Aurora.
11:03Yep, they've been really great.
11:05Uwe as well deciding on what ultimates to take here.
11:07He's been so good and efficient on the ultimate choice.
11:11But even just utilizing the terrify that comes with this.
11:14So the Valentina, man.
11:15I mean, there's so many ways for Aurora to go ahead and play around these teamfights.
11:19And that's what's happening here.
11:20So this Lord is up.
11:21They're going to go ahead and try to push into the base.
11:23Get some of these shields down.
11:25And then potentially the health of the turrets.
11:28Tier 2 in the mid will fall up to this point.
11:31Lord being worked on very quickly by Severo.
11:33He clears that out.
11:34But the mid shield will fall.
11:36Bottom lane.
11:37Edward has...
11:38Taking so much damage.
11:40Blasting him.
11:41Uwe from range.
11:43Super Prince defensive use of the gush.
11:45Pushing back the northern lights.
11:47Aurora are just all over them.
11:50Bottom lane.
11:51Taken down.
11:52All work from Edward.
11:54This is why we were posting the possibility of a surprise Valentina pick first for Onik.
11:59But they were willing to give the golden hour to Aurora.
12:02And they've made the most out of it.
12:04Even better because they have the utility jungler.
12:06And now Brusco forcing out a Requiem from Demonkite.
12:10Will not stop the rest of the waves though.
12:13Golden hour will at least keep that inhibitor alive.
12:17Onik are just keeping their heads barely above water.
12:20Yep.
12:20Flicker used as well by Demonkite.
12:21But so far Aurora in the driver's seat throughout this one for the past few minutes.
12:27You got to start to see what Onik can do here.
12:29Can they actually utilize this Bruno pick?
12:31You saw how fast he got blasted though.
12:33And that's a problem because when you don't have that range and it's that hard to get into a fight
12:37again.
12:38You don't have that many escapes to get away.
12:39That's why he does get the Malefic Gun.
12:42He's got a little bit more range to work with.
12:44But man, the positioning on Severo.
12:46If we talked about his mechanics, his micro skills throughout the season.
12:51Game 1 is a true test for them.
12:53Dominkite of course in that last few big team fights ago.
12:57Beautiful entry with a blazing duet.
12:59Has had a better time farming compared to Severo.
13:01So far the gold per minute for Severo is just floating around 580.
13:05Dominkite is at 710+.
13:07It's been a much better time for this Claude in terms of getting the resources.
13:10And it wasn't just because Aurora were also getting big wins as a team.
13:14Gotta acknowledge Dominkite beat Severo in lane for this game number 1.
13:18Yeah, even looking at this fight, providing so much information throughout this game.
13:23That's again why the Khalid is such a big top priority pick in the Rome right now.
13:28Not only that, but even if you take a couple shots, you can just heal back up.
13:31And so they kind of just take some time.
13:33Wait for this Lord coming up in a couple seconds here.
13:35Taking a last look at the items.
13:37Onik, if they want to, they can try to contest into this.
13:41But will they just get decimated through a team fight?
13:44Likely, yes.
13:46It hurts that they don't have an actual peel.
13:48Their lineup doesn't revel in, you know, free hits from Fringe, free hits from Severo.
13:52They have to get crafty with it.
13:54And Aurora, look at Edward.
13:56He's built three swords plus the wings.
13:59This is why the Benedetta pick was really good.
14:01If this was a different EXP laner, Kirk would be much happier here.
14:05But the Benedetta changes the big picture of teamfights for Onik.
14:09Again, they have a utility jungler.
14:11They have a Khalid.
14:12They have their own golden hour.
14:14Oh, they see that King Kong's down to the bottom side.
14:17They're going to blitz this Lord.
14:19Onik might have just decided, you know what, let's just give it up for that Lord secured here.
14:23For Aurora, they're better off defending in their base, it looks like.
14:26And that could just be the case here for Onik.
14:29If they really want to get this game under control, get it back in their favor,
14:32they've got to have a miracle defense.
14:35And that can happen, honestly, with a Marcel on your side, too.
14:38That can actually happen.
14:39Marcel, Gord can clear these waves pretty well.
14:42So this might not be a game-winning Lord push just yet for Aurora, despite being up this much.
14:47Playing the map, the pressure.
14:50I think Aurora, they can get the base balled here for Onik.
14:54Take away all the base turrets.
14:57Throw bodies.
14:58Dolminkite has to survive, though.
15:00Edward as well.
15:00Maybe Edward could be one of your sacrifices, but Dolminkite needs to survive this push.
15:03Yep, Lord's going to push in and take down that mid-turret while they focus here on this bottom side.
15:08Oh, Edward.
15:10Oh, light.
15:10Looking for it.
15:11The deep cut by Mr. Consistent.
15:13Goldenhour.
15:15Stopping the exit, but really not much there.
15:17Another one helping delay the gush.
15:19Going through a lot of members of Aurora, but Kirk is falling.
15:22Light picks him up.
15:23King Kong goes for the trade.
15:24And I think Aurora are happy with the two-lane push, but it looks like top lane and bottom lane
15:30will get taken care of, too.
15:31Just mid-falls.
15:32Yeah.
15:32As I was saying, part of the key to this defense is that Gord and the Marcel.
15:36We'll see if they still hold on to the turret.
15:38It looks like Aurora.
15:40Pulls the trigger.
15:41But I think they know that this is a little too fishy.
15:44Yeah.
15:45That was actually a smart play by Dolminkite.
15:48I think his condition there was the moment he saw that deadly magic was used on the Valentina.
15:52That's why he decided to BMI in, because he knows he can afford to be a little bit aggressive and
15:56survive,
15:57because nothing's going to delete him instantly.
15:59He has his own way to lifesteal and spell vamp as well through the clods, the basic attacks, the blazing
16:05duets.
16:05So that was just a smart little decision and gave Aurora the space to actually get away from that.
16:11Yep.
16:12And looking at these, the itemization here, too, I think Kirk, big factor.
16:17Wait, Conceal is used.
16:18Light's just pushing Bruce go out, but I want to control this side of the map.
16:22Again, defensively, just needs a little bit more to be beefier.
16:25But even then, if Kirk has the items and he's beefy enough to withstand a lot of that front load
16:30of damage,
16:30the problem is still keeping tabs on Edward, keeping tabs on what Yue decides to do, and even Dolminkite.
16:37So Anic has so many boxes that they need to check to win, ultimately, a teamfight that turns it around
16:42in their favor.
16:43You know that the Northern Lights are feeling it, because they're starting to hunt.
16:46Yeah.
16:47They're looking for these brushes and flushing out rogue members of the Super Fam,
16:52which makes sense, because look, they're protecting Severo like it's the first two minutes again.
16:55Yeah, they have to, man.
16:57He is the key here for them to eventually...
17:02Again, it's pretty easy for Anic to pick off one or two members, but to entirely win a teamfight,
17:07that's where the work is going to come through, and where you really need Severo to stay alive for those.
17:12Yeah, and it's going to be easier said than done.
17:14Difficult because of the Benedetta that is packing hella damage items.
17:18I believe the first time we saw Benedetta this season was against Aurora versus Anic in week two.
17:25Yeah, we two.
17:26Edward did use a Benedetta then.
17:28It did not win, but it's a completely different picture.
17:32Oh, it's a blitz by Aurora.
17:33Oh, Anic are trying to respond.
17:35Brusco here.
17:36Golden Hour.
17:37Early.
17:38Delaying the Lord take.
17:39Stuck at about a tenth of its health.
17:40In comes Demon Kite.
17:41Looking for more.
17:43Dominic Kite forced to use the freeze on that Wintercraft.
17:45What's the blazing to it defensively?
17:46More will still be secured.
17:48They take out King Kong.
17:49And now the jump.
17:50The Requiem.
17:51The Clash.
17:52And Kirk falls.
17:54And they're not done.
17:55They're looking for more.
17:56Severo kicking balls.
17:57Trying to stop him.
17:58Another knockoff.
17:59Down goes Brusco.
18:00And Severo holding on.
18:01Maybe I can.
18:02Maybe I should.
18:03Maybe I shouldn't.
18:04It's just him and Severo left for defense.
18:06Early on the Golden Hour from Brusco.
18:08I think a little bit of a panic button.
18:10And then Aurora just decided to go for the jump.
18:13They saw King Kong first.
18:15Found his hat.
18:16Brusco got taken down.
18:17Or Kirk got taken down next.
18:18And then Brusco.
18:19Aurora looked to take game number one.
18:22Yep.
18:22They're going to be pushing in with this Lord.
18:24Little projectile thrown up.
18:26But it's only two guys of Onyx left.
18:27And in comes the Electo final blow.
18:29That's it.
18:30They escort the Lord out of the base.
18:32Aurora!
18:33Draw first blood in San Juan Arena.
