Oh, they get the hook on sirt.

There we go.

Look how quick he goes down.

One nexus turret goes down.

The second will follow.

And it's cloud9

to reach the semifinal.

- Not saying hi?

- Hey. Why not?

I think... I think I'm running

around with rekkles.

What's this?

It's not a good number.

I don't have my own shirt,

that's why.

Fair enough.

You transferred.

Go do your thing.

Go do what you need to do.

Good seeing you.

In alliance, we've recently

picked up rekkles, which is one

of the biggest talents

in the western world.

He just meshes really well

with the rest of our lineup.

And he has a very dedicated

mind-set to the game

that I really appreciate a lot.

He's a great addition

to our lineup.

That one point,

when you become as good

as you can,

the strategy is what decides who

wins and who will lose the game.

It's sort of like chess

in a way,

but you have a matter

of milliseconds

to make your decision.

Reaction time

is really important.

As you can see,

unicorns of love

moving very fast

through the bracket,

and we're gonna come up

to our first game of the day.

You can see it.

Alliance versus cloud9.

Before a match,

I'm completely focused

on trying to come in

with the best plan possible.

Lemonnation is famous

for his notebook.

It contains all

of his cloud9 secret strats.

What is in his book? This is

the tactics book we always see.

Tips of how to grow

a magnificent beard.

I need that book.

At the point

you go on the stage,

I'm really nervous.

There was a lot of controversy

around the rekkles changes,

and I think he's kind

of taking it to heart

is that it's on his shoulders

to make this work.

Slow start 11 minutes

into this game.

No first blood just yet.

Very much equal on gold.

Lemonnation getting focus on...

Could they get first blood?

And he gets away safe.

It's building up

so much tension for this game.

Here it comes.

It finally is.

Is it?

That's the question 'cause

the teleport goes down.

There's the root on Hai.

Cataclysm on froggen,

and everybody

from alliance backs away.

It's just they're taking

leisurely start to the day.

Definitely warming up the crowd,

i think it's safe to say.

Get him, hartman!

There's gonna be first blood!

Yes, it will!

- Yeah!

- Just go in. You ready?

- Wait, wait, wait.

- Go in!

They have flash this time

around, but Hai's locked up.

Lemonnation's gonna

get taken down.

Alliances are picking up

some kills.

Rekkles gets himself whupped.

They can clean up with this.

Oh, my god!

A.D. Carry versus a.D. Carry!

But rekkles comes out

victorious.

And it's the Ace for alliance!

That is why alliance

paid the money

to transfer this man

into their team.

Nice!

At the moment, cloud9 are

the ones feeling the pressure.

We're a lot stronger than them.

Got to not be afraid.

Froggen in trouble.

He's gonna get locked up

and dropped like a pancake.

Sneaky picks up two.

Chases on towards rekkles.

Rekkles has to get the hell

out of dodge right now.

Rekkles is in trouble.

Tries to clear it.

Oh! Dead!

And he goes down!

It's the Ace for cloud9

in game one of the series.

Oh, here we go,

ladies and gentlemen.

Game two underway.

Oh, he's gone for lemonnation.

Rekkles!

Ohh!

Completely paints him out.

Beautifully done!

And, wow, cloud9 are destroying

alliance in game two.

If I do a mistake,

I instantly recognize it,

then right to stop it before

it actually happens again.

Everyone stay and work

together. Just stay together.

They can't kill us

if we stay together.

They're not that damaged.

Rekkles comes around the side.

They can close him.

And rekkles picks up the kill.

And it's this time alliance

coming out 3-1 up.

That's upsetting.

I'm back in the game now,

so I'm good.

Alliance may well have just

won themselves a game.

They're just gonna run

straight for the nexus now.

This series ties up one-all.

We will have a winner

in the next match-up.

- Still in, man.

- Not a good game.

Still in.

We're still in it.

- Confirmed... we're blue?

- We're blue.

Okay.

Good?

Another thing

to keep an eye on this game

is that the recipient

of the first blood money...

Whoa!

Rekkles just destroying balls

in the top line.

Teleport coming straight out

from balls, of course.

Of course, death by hammers

are next to nothing.

But wickd is gonna t.P. It,

and they may lock up

for a second kill here.

Balls taken low once again,

and rekkles gets another!

Wow!

I don't think I've seen anyone

die twice so quick in my life.

He literally teleported

straight back to die again.

All right.

Yeah, that's a rough start.

Rekkles trying to bait out

here.

Rekkles gets himself

a very easy third kill.

All right, boys,

what do you want to do?

- Can you hook him?

- They need to focus in.

And there's a hook

from lemonnation.

Oh, shook in trouble!

Yeah, we got him.

We got him. We got him.

We can fight this.

Oh, another hook!

He's going down!

Cloud9 turned the game

on its head right now.

And rekkles is running away.

Cloud9 trying to finish the game

right here.

What is going on?!

Cloud9 will take the game

and go through to the finals

of the intel extreme masters

here in San Jose!

What did we practice?

Three weeks?

They've been playing together

for quite some time.

Yeah, they've been playing

for a long time.

Sure enough, lemonnation lands

two of the biggest hooks of the game.

We were way on top

until that happened.

I still think we put up a good fight,

to be honest.

Okay, let's take some dessert

to damp the bitterness.

I would love to see

the grand finals with tsm.

And I'd like to see it go to

the last game and us win.

That would be amazing.

I'd love that.

Unicorns of love versus

team solomid.

Tsm is the big favorite,

i think, for this tournament.

The build-up time

towards a match,

I actually get nervous...

Very nervous every single time.

I recognize it's a big match.

Honestly, I think playing

against international team

is my favorite thing

to do as a professional player

because this is where I get a

chance to see where I stack up.

I really want to prove myself.

Well, here we go, then.

I guess if there's a time

to prove yourself

on the big stage in semifinal,

it's probably here.

Playing in a big arena,

it definitely adds pressure

and adds to adrenaline.

Some people can go in,

and all the jitters...

It just gets to them,

and they can't perform

at the highest level.

He's taking,

and he does get first blood.

Bjergsen just needed

to show a little bit

more respect in that Lane.

Kikis turns around.

This could be really bad

for tsm.

They walk right into it.

Turtle doesn't get to do

anything in that fight.

You really care about the game,

so when you lose, it's like one

of the worst feelings ever.

The nexus turret

cannot be held.

The unicorns of love

are pushing at it.

The unicorns of love

move through!

I'm more surprised that tsm...
