The legacy of lg phones as the leading gaming smartphones with exceptional performance displays audio control and battery life.

So without further ado, let's meet the lg phone 5. It takes a top-notch team and partners to create top-notch innovations like the lg phone 5 series, with the world's leading Qualcomm snapdragon a8 5g mobile platform, the lg phone 5 series delivers mobile gaming performance like never before. To share more about it. I would like to welcome our longtime partner Chris Patrick SVP, of engineering of Qualcomm hi Chris hello, SY and everyone I'm Chris Patrick SVP, and gm of handsets at Qualcomm technologies incorporated. I am delighted to be part of the ROG 405 announcement today on behalf of Qualcomm.

Furthermore, I want to congratulate the kg team for building such an impressive mobile gaming device using our industry-leading Qualcomm snapdragon 888 5g mobile platform. The iconic ROG mobile gaming smartphone continues to impress the entire industry every aspect of the design is intended to push the boundaries of mobile gaming built from the ground up to take advantage of the Qualcomm snapdragon elite gaming feature set. The kg 405 is engineered to deliver up to 144 frames per second with flawless quality and super smooth performance. You know true. Satisfaction in gaming comes from total immersion and being lost in the experience.

The kg iPhone 5 utilizes, the Qualcomm arena GPU for the smoothest gaming experience and the highest graphical quality possible. Meanwhile, the gaming network, latency manager, optimizes network settings for more efficient and fluid online gaming, thanks again to the ROG team, for the amazing job that you have done on the kg phone five, making it a true showcase for snapdragon elite gaming, congratulations and best wishes on a great launch. Thank you, Chris and Qualcomm for this incredible partnership. I'm sure you cannot wait to hear more about our new lg phone file series. So let's welcome Sasha director of technical marketing at ASUS kg to introduce it to you.

Thank you, SY all right. Let me talk you through the key specs and features of this mobile powerhouse and, let's start with the obvious part. First, the looks just like the current ROG phone. We stuck to a very classy and subtle design. So from the front, it's a clean black slab of glass, with subtle red accents on the side and on the rear.

You'll find a cyberpunk retro, 8-bit pixel, dot, design that matches our 2021 ROG products. The ROG RGB logo has two lighting zones now for even more customizations, and it's not just for looks. You can define colors and different animations for different app notifications as well and surprise. There is a white version too, so you can now choose between a black or a white kg phone and now, with the design out of the way, let's dig a bit deeper and talk about specs and features. Kg phones are built from the ground up for gamers they're, not just a rehash of another device, but what makes a phone a gaming phone SY already hinted at it.

The five key points that we focus on with our kg phone series. These are points that, through surveys, customers tell us matter the most to them, that is performance, display, audio control and battery life performance is the most obvious and Chris made clear. Qualcomm has been back there. Customers want PC and console level graphics and the highest possible fps, and thanks to Qualcomm's 5 nanometer snapdragon 888 5g mobile platform, the kg phone 5 delivers exceptional performance and impressive visuals to truly unleash the full potential and keep the fps up, not just until the end of the benchmark run. But through the entire game session, we developed an impressive cooling system for our gaming phones, with an ultra slim vapor chamber and a graphite sheet to optimize cooling and performance.

Further, we completely changed the layout of the ROG phone 5. The soc now sits right smack in the middle of the phone, which allows us to dissipate heat faster and more evenly, not extreme enough for you. You want active cooling, whether you really want to push your kg phone 5 to the limit and get some extra fps or keep your phone super cool. We got. You covered our revamped proactive cooler 5, now blows fresh air straight onto the center of the ROG phone 5 right above the soc.

This drops the surface temperature by up to 15 degrees Celsius and the soc temperature by up to 10 degrees Celsius. The fan is surprisingly quiet. I can't hear it at all, even when holding it straight to my ears pair the best parts with the best cooling, and you get record setting performance. As you can see, the ROG phone 5 is a true portable powerhouse. Alright, those specs and benchmark scores sound impressive, but let's look at what this is all about.

Having a blast, you might be surprised. We picked this particular game title and not a shooter, but gang shin impact features complex and beautiful environments that are actually very demanding and can really push phones to their limit and, as you can see, we're able to run this demanding title at a stable, high fps for a smooth, immersive experience without any lag or stutter, and these stats are from a long session showing that kg phone 5 can deliver impressive performance for hours on end. But what good would all this performance be with a small bleak display from a gaming phone? Our customers expect the largest possible display, with vibrant colors and d blacks running at the highest possible refresh rate, and thanks to our close partnership with Samsung display the ROG phone five comes with the latest and greatest in OLED. Goodness this year we were able to squeeze an even larger display into our g phone 5, going from 6.6 to 6.8 inches and that's with an almost identical chassis. The kg phone five is only two millimeters longer and one millimeter wider than the current model.

Naturally, we didn't compromise on anything with a 144hz refresh rate, one millisecond grade to gray response time and a delta e below one. All of this premium display goodness comes protected by the toughest ever gorilla glass Invictus, but even the best display can only look as good as the content you feed it. So we added a pixel works i6 visual processor to the ROG phone 5 to supercharge. Videos and games make them even more vibrant minimize, color, banding and black crush and essentially turn SDR content into HDR content. While purists will probably want to turn it off, it really does make videos and games look even better higher.

Refresh rates really help a lot in making games, look and feel more smooth and immersive as well you're watching a 60 hertz video here. So this is just an example of the benefits, but for any of you who aren't convinced and can't tell the difference between 60hz and 120hz right away, you can give it a try for just a single match on a friend's phone and trust. Me once you get used to 120hz and above its painful, to go back to 60 hertz and on phones displays aren't just for viewing they're, also the primary input method. We developed our own custom, supercharged touchscreen system that clocks at an insane 300 hertz for super low input latency. This allows tabs to be recognized almost instantly, which can really give you a competitive advantage in fast-paced multiplayer games.

Another common input, mechanic in mobile games are sliding motions and swipes in games like lol rift rivals, for example, being able to swipe faster and more precisely, can really turn a match around, and here too, the supercharged 300hz touch input system on the ROG phone 5 is notably more responsive. People often underestimate how much more immersive an experience is with good audio the game. FX sound system on the ROG phone 5 comes with dual 7 magnet speakers for nicely balanced, stereo, audio, and you'll find that compared to other phones, the kg phone 5 is notably louder has a wider, sound stage and great sound quality and surprise based on popular demand, and thanks to the now fully integrated 5g modem, which saves space and a complete relay out of the PCB. We were able to bring back the 3.5 millimeter audio jack, and since we knew right from the beginning, we were bringing it back. We decided to go all out.

The ROG phone 5 comes with a top of the line. Es's headphone deck audio is very subjective, though, and every headset sounds slightly different. That's why we provide our own audio wizard, app with four professionally tuned profiles by direct along with a fully customizable equalizer control deck. The next part that really sets gaming phones apart from regular phones, is input. You want full control over your games, low latency, high precision and ideally keep as little of the display as possible, blocked by your hands.

Our latest air trigger 5 control system combines several input and control methods to achieve just that. Our ultrasonic air trigger buttons on the top corners of the phone come in really handy here, and we greatly expanded the motion control system on the ROG phone 5. We can now detect several distinct movements, which you can then map to different button presses. Some of this is surprisingly intuitive. I'm sure we've all seen somebody play a jump and run game and pull up the game pad when jumping and flicking controllers up or down to reload is a very common mechanic in arcades and with VR controllers.

You can now do this with your kg phone. Five, too. Haptic feedback really adds a lot of immersion as well with our brand-new haptic audio feature. You can now add tactile feedback to shooters. So when you shoot your gun, you not only hear it, but you feel each shot.

It's only a hint of a recoil or a game pad rumble, but it really adds to the immersion and the last, but arguably most important point that separates regular phones from gaming phones battery size. Our kg phones have a reputation for incredible stamina and the six thousand million per hour 22 watt hour monster battery in the ROG phone 5 continues this tradition. There are tablets with smaller battery packs. What's new is that we split the battery into two parts. This allows us to center the soc, but also improves battery thermals.

Thanks to a new cell design. We can now also safely charge faster with up to 65 watt hypercharge. While on the previous gen, we could already charge from zero to 50 in only 30 minutes. We can now do this in under 15. , so yeah record setting performance.

A top of the line.144 is OLED, display, impressive audio and plenty of low latency input methods. But what good is all of this? If you run out of battery in the heat of the mesh, as you can see, the ROG phone 5 is able to game for hours on end, notably longer than other phones on the market. We were the first to bring a side charging port to phones and naturally, the kg phone 5 keeps it. We offer you two type c ports to charge and connect accessory to so whether you watch movies or play games in landscape mode or use your phone in portrait mode. You always have a perfectly placed port.

Armory crate is our one-stop control center for all features and games on your phone. You can set up and customize scenario profiles for each app, not just games and individually tuned performance settings and more. We offer you several operating modes to balance battery performance and temperatures. While x-mode boosts your gaming performance by pushing the soc to the max. We now have something even more extreme.

With our aero active cooler 5, you can now unlock x-mode, plus for even higher clocks than fps under advanced settings. There are dozens of detailed android and soc tuning options to squeeze out every drop of performance. Remember that two zone ROG RGB logo I mentioned earlier, like I said it's not just cosmetic but actually functional in armory crate. You can define color combination or animations to be tied to system events and app notifications. You can have it flash wide and teal for email notifications, for example, or set it to glow in a color wave pattern.

When you have an incoming call, don't fix what isn't broken. We left the impressive camera module largely untouched in the ROG phone 5. It uses the same main sensor as the before 7 pro, which famously won the MHD blind camera competition. Where the audience voted on pictures without knowing which phone they were actually taken with the camera on the ROG phone 5, definitely won't hold you back all right, good people that sums up everything about the kg phone 5. Next up.

Let's look at our accessory lineup. Remember the aero active cooler, 5, there's even more to it. Besides improved cooling and performance, it also comes with a bottom facing 3.5 millimeter audio jack and a set of very nice click trigger buttons and a kickstand too. On top of that, we fine-tuned our popular kg lunar game pad. You can use it as a super compact, Bluetooth, controller or split it up and attach it to either side of the ROG phone 5.

Either way it adds plenty of physical buttons for low latency tactile input and keeps the entire display free of your fingers in some games. Doubling the effective screen size. If you want more RGB hey, we got you covered too. Our brand-new lighting armor case super sizes, the RGB kg logo. On the back of the phone, the kg phone 5 already delivers impressive built-in audio.

But if you want better immersion, especially in noisy environments, we got several headsets option for you. First up, our ROG center 2 active noise, cancelling in-ear headphones. I really like this cool lightweight case they come with, which help to keep them clean and tidy. We have new SSR drivers for better audio softer and more comfy silicon, rubber tips and fins, and the mics are in each earbud now. So, instead of talking into the inline remote, you can speak freely and naturally there's a convenient ANC ambient mode for when you do want to hear other people for a quick chat without having to pull the earbuds out of your ears.

The setup 2 come with USB type-c and aura sync compatible RGB lighting and there's a 3.5 millimeter core version as well. I actually just bought a wireless ROG strip code 2.4, but I can't believe right now, there's a Bluetooth version. I'm really excited about this one with a battery life of up to 45 hours, you'll make it through several days, if not an entire week before having to charge it up. It has three active noise, cancelling modes plus our AI noise, cancelling mic tech. So it's perfect for calls as well.

It also works with 3.5 millimeter cable, so you can use it with consoles and pretty much any device making it very versatile. I said we were done talking about the ROG phone five. Well, I light there's another surprise we have for you today meet the ROG phone five pro the ROG phone. Five pro comes with our kg vision. Second display this 64 by 256 color pm OLED display is really eye-catching and fun to play around with the kg vision.

Display is fully customizable and can show a number of animations based on system events. For example, if your ROG phone 5 pro is charging there's an incoming call, x mode is enabled, and so on. You can even create your own custom animations to personalize your phone. It only takes a few seconds. You download an image or snap a picture, select it in the ROG vision, app choose an animation filter and that's it.

The kg phone 5 pro also comes with two extra buttons on the lower back of the phone together with the two trigger buttons on the top and the two buttons on the aero active cooler.5 you get up to 6 buttons total. It's a bit tricky to balance the phone trying to use all of these at the same time, but hey better too many buttons than not enough, and I'm sure some games definitely benefit a lot from having extra buttons, and it's worth it to take some time to get used to them. We know a lot of you love to customize your phones and environments and immerse yourself in your favorite game, with stickers, wallpapers, figurines and posters of your favorite characters. That's why we're working with dozens of publishers to bring as much as possible of this to the ROG phone five at launch, we're going to have various theme packs for the ROG phone 5 series with more coming in the future. Each of those theme packs consists of an animated wallpaper, an incoming call animation and a kg vision animation.

The lg phone 5 all-star show match is about to begin stay tuned, and I hope you enjoy the show hello. Welcome to the ROG phone 5 all-star show match we're here. As part of the ROG phone 5 launch events- and my name is elfish guy I'll be your host for today, I'm joined by Roku as always looking fantastic Roku.

How are you feeling today absolutely excited today? As again, we've seen a lot of amazing features coming from again the newest ROG phone, which is the ROG phone five yeah? Obviously it would be remiss of us not to mention uh the ROG phone five and the ROG phone five ultimate, which are being used by some of our players today, uh, of course you know some cool features. We've we've been sort of discussing off-air. I've been quite interested in the 144 monitor or the display for the phone, which is something that you normally see when you're coming to PC gaming. I myself have 144hz monitors, and I've got a phone which has something like a 60hz monitor. So you know, I think, when you put those two and two together, you probably want to be going for the phone with the 144hz uh display that will give you a bit of a benefit when you're playing games on your mobile yeah.

Definitely it's going to give you a huge boost in advantage and for sure also we have the ROG phone 5 ultimate that has 18 gigs of ram. That's absolutely insane. Even my PC doesn't have that much of a ram actually and of course, if you avail for the BMG phone five ultimate, you get a fan gift collection, it is limited quantity, and it comes with a kg mask cover a baseball cap, towels and so much more freebies. It's amazing plenty of goodies involved and speaking of goodies by the way, it's not just the players and us that get to have a good time here today. You yourself at home, can actually win a little of swag some stuff here and there from ROG they've got some giveaways lined up for you, so uh.

If you're interested in winning something here or there should be able to put a little of a message down in the live stream, and you'll, be able to potentially win something use the hashtag ROG phone5 hashtag for those who dare- and you can obviously pick yourself up something pretty cool uh. You know there's any number of things that you can grab Roku, but winning a phone certainly wouldn't be too shabby at all. Yeah, absolutely don't forget the hashtags uh and as well as five lucky winners will be drawn and announced on kg social media. So don't forget to follow those ROG channels to get updated. Yeah, remember it is just a comment in the live stream chat.

That's all you need to do and use those hashtags as well. That would be pretty important. I would imagine anyway, look what's also pretty important is going to be the teams that we're going to get to watch today, Roku, so let's go ahead and introduce our influencers and our teams, so all right. Well, those are our team, star guardians and shadow order, Roku. Obviously a couple of uh fairly known quantities within those rosters.

You yourself are from the Philippines, so you must know a little about a couple of those players. I know we've gathered, you know your favorite content creators and streamers across Southeast Asia, and if we're talking about maybe players to watch out for star guardians, I have to say DEX. Cd's definitely has a bit of experience in the local scene when it comes to tournaments, also, definitely looking forward to again deny from the Philippines and on the other side of the spectrum, we've got shadow order, which I think solos could really be that scary opponent on this team. That's the reason why I'm looking forward to his performance, especially he has represented Malaysia countless times yeah. I think that's a good point as well that you bring up about the experience of all of these players as well.

You know, I'm not sure how much you've had when it comes to playing in competitive environments and that kind of thing, and even though this is a show match, it still brings a level of pressure that you might not expect if you've never been involved in something like that. I myself have played in land caf? tournaments. That's like the peak of my gaming career and a land caf?. Tournament, isn't necessarily a big deal, but you'd be surprised by how much pressure, actually you feel on your shoulders when you're actually playing those games exactly there's still that competitive tag coming with it, even though it says show match you're still, you still got your competitive spirit going, so we'll have to see how this pans out yeah. You know people are going to be watching.

You know that there's a little of uh something on the line when it does come to winning or losing in front of all those eyes. So there is a lot to talk about in that respect, but what we do have to do is move into our draft and get to have a look at what our teams and what our players are going to be selecting. I wonder if they're going for this really fun draft, I mean they're, star guardians. Why not pick a lock? Wear that star guardian skin, maybe even pick that dink uh, but look at the composition so far, uh we've got a moo moo. At least you have the jungle already intact out and if I am guessing correctly, we'll have to see it whether this area is actually for sure going to be in the mid-lane.

I actually tried a bit of ARI support. Please don't do that in reg. It's a little effective uh, depending on how you use it, but lulu and Wayne actually a very, very strong uh combo in the bottom side of the map, but I guess they're still picking what they need to pick yeah yeah. I guess we do have to wait and see whether those are going to get locked in. I think the graves match up into alum, obviously having a look at that towards the jungle.

More so than anything else is going to be a difficult one for alum. We know graves is quite a strong early game. Jungle he's going to be looking for those and get invades those early engages especially around the scuttles uh, and for he takes a little longer to scale so that that could be a difficult point. Uh already that I can see here for the star guardians and having locked in the vein again, another late game carry expecting maybe to see a little of a slower start here for star guardians, looking more towards the late game rather than the early game. Skirmishes yeah for sure star guardians are just forming a combo combo, heavy team fight composition and meanwhile, just as you mentioned shadow order hoping to see if they can get the early game if they can get ahead and crush them early to deny any sort of movement conditions that star guardians has.

But it's no role-playing here does shadow order, star guardians, they're fine, they're, aiming to win yeah. It's a strange bot lane selection here as well from shadow water. Isn't it if you know if you're used to traditional League of Legends, what you would normally see is an 80 carry in the bot lane. That would be like a vein, for example, what the star guardians have selected, but for shadow water they don't actually have an 80 carry their line up there. So I'm assuming it's probably going to be lux Riggs down in the bot lane.

It's going to be a lot of waves, clear, you're going to be shoving that wave in, and I actually think that could work for shadow water here to be honest, star guardians don't have a great way of clearing the wave they're going to get shoved into that tower and uh. Well, it's just going to be vain and warm trying to cs under the turret, which is never going to be a fun time at all. I think so too. I think what the shadow order has I've been thinking? Okay, we have a bridge. Let's just put him in that air quote: 80 carry position in the jungle, and we still have a solid comp, but we'll have to see how shadow order executes their very strong and aggressive early composition.

Well, yeah I mean what I'm seeing obviously is that the Carl is taking to smite here. So it's going to have to be a Carly jungle for shallow order, and presumably graves is going to go down into the bot lane, which yeah we can see again a little. Uh non-traditional, I suppose, but sometimes when it does come to non-traditional off-meta picks even talking about that uh right as we started the show you know you were saying you were taking HRI support, sometimes in ranked, and it might not be meta, but I've been seeing it pop up a little here and there, and it seems to have its place yeah. Absolutely it still. Uh works it.

It is a little similar. I guess you do have some sort of cc at least to start and engage the fight, and the same goes for uh the locks in the grave spot lane here, which is just to have that queue, and I will actually, I think the Spain is gonna- have a really, really hard time here. Well, particularly if you get caught by one of the bindings from lux, that's going to make life quite difficult from sawyer, you know tumbling forward, looking to get a little aggressive, maybe trying to get some poke down. But, as you mentioned, destroyer on the vein doesn't have a lot of range, so really just going to have to be sitting behind that turret. Trying to farm up as much as possible, it's the opposite up in the top lane, though you know you look in the top lane 99 on canon he's going to have the advantage in terms of being able to get that poke down, whereas for garden that champion he doesn't really have too much uh range at all.

You know, so he's just going to have to charge forward running, try and get those silences, but obviously, at that point he's already taking a bit of poke damage so top lane. You know it feels like the table's turn for star values. There that's true uh, it has to be. The garden has to be very careful, especially once he reaches level six, especially if he's poked down into a very awkward hp house, but you're combining yeah the binding connects onto Braun, but from generally a fairly tank champion, so we'll be able to just touch shield up walk his way out of there relatively okay and seems to have some spots available to get back on up with so should be okay in the bot lane. Looking at the gold lead, I mean it's just a little more favorable for star guardians, but we haven't seen first blood yet, so I think things can change quite quickly.

Yeah, things can still be. I bet once it reaches. Everybody else reaches level five. I think that's the point for a lot of these teams, especially shadow order, will be a little more aggressive uh. They have to take note and have to be careful once the rule comes in uh reaches level five, as that is the key level where they can actually be a little more aggressive yeah.

I mean, I think, that's a good point right. We haven't really seen the jungles getting involved all that much just yet. We've got wards down throughout the river, so it's going to be obviously a bit difficult for them to be doing a lot, but sooner or later those jugglers are going to start to work their way into mid, I mean even now, you can see canon actually, all the way from the top lane.99 has come down into mid. Try to put some pressure on to that. Riggs hasn't resulted in a kill, but pressure is pressure right and that continues to force the issue a little.

Oh, but there's another reply on that pressure, as Lulu actually forced to use a flash bend your heart on the alum jumping straight in, but able to lock down the shadow order hot lane long enough for his teammates to come and help out yeah. It's its the point where there is uh the timing of having to remove at least burn a bit of the summoner spells. I mean the ARI already has burned her flash, and therefore I guess it's the prime opportunity for the Riggs and as well as the holly, to do something in the mid-lane as going to be a little more vulnerable. Now yeah I mean, unfortunately, I guess when it comes to trying to find picks on to an ARI. The ultimate is another hindrance and both the mid layers have just hit level.

Six charm actually connects great timing for backpack to come in as well to support, but he's in mid and that's first blood for star guardians. A nice little rose coming through from our bot. Layers our guardians coming away with first person yeah, that's the beautiful first blood they're, pretty patient batman actually going around to the opposite side of the river, so that he gets that you know, surprise tactic of not being on the quad side, riverside um, so yeah Steinhardt is rewarded for that patience. In that role, yeah I mean you are going to be giving up a little of control in the bot lane when you do roam up like that as a support but end of the day, king sawyer is stuck underneath the turret farming anyway, and so I don't really think that there's a huge necessity for the problem to be in the background right now, when you look at it braves lux they're, not exactly the kind of champions that are going to be able to tower dive, even if it is a 2d one. So I like that roman becomes another little of uh engagement, the alum.

The stun connects ultimate as well. Here's a chance for king sawyer to get involved and does manage to grab one kill, but things have not gone well for star guardians in that engagement. There's a counter game that comes through from shadow orders and all of a sudden, the tables turn back on their heads and, unfortunately, for shadow order. This is not all rather for star guardians that did not go the way they wanted it to not at all. They were outnumbered, and this example order.

We saw just saw that gang coming, and I can tell you know: solo zombie Apollo is really, really wanting to dive in, especially with an easy way out, but you know, patience is also going to be very rewarding, and they're happy to just take that first blood towel yeah, it's a little unfortunate as well there for uh staff guardians that Wayne wasn't actually able to pick up the kill he's got the assist. I think that could actually go over onto the moon. So look you always want to be getting. Those kills onto your carry champions. Vane certainly is one of them.

Dragon attempts and the steel attempt as well, but uh hasn't gone too far. No, in the end, shadow order do take away the dragon bank 10 tries to get in there and cause a bit of a ruckus. So too does Zulu, but uh neither being able to connect their skill shots and so shadow order will get out of there relatively safely yeah. I think that was a little too close, but I think the rest of the star guardians were just coming out of their base, so it was still a nice attempt here taking a lot of objectives already from the first tower and as well as the first dragon of the game was drag, always useful, not the strongest of uh dragons to pick up, but does give you a bit of ability, haste for the ultimate and for a team composition that is uh quite ultimate centric in staff guardians. I think it's actually quite uh quite useful to deny that away from them as shadow order.

You know you think about alum, being very old-centric, kennel being very old-centric. HRI has a lot of usage out of her ultimate as well, so just to take that power away from star guardians is quite good, even despite the fact that maybe shadow water won't use it as well with their champions. Yep. Absolutely and that's the reason why uh that's still a pretty good move. Meanwhile, uh ARI everyone else, actually from the star guardians hoping to get control over this red herald as actually the whole gang is out top side already, with the support from shadow order already moving towards that side.

So, if Steinhardt is deciding to try and fight this they're going to be in the disadvantage in the number section, it's going to be a 45. Again. This is kind of what I was talking about in the camp select where star guardians they don't exactly have that early game composition that wants to go for fights around the scuttled around the rift herald around the first second or maybe even third rate, depending on how the game is going. They want to give time for that vein to scale. They want to give time for even the cannon.

You know these three champions really take a little of time to get involved in the game once they do. Things are going to get a little more difficult for shadow order, but in the early stages of the game I like that most in China want to try to push the issue and force these earlier fights now star guardians are starting to the roof. Terrell so see how shadow order is going to move their way in that direction. I think it's a pretty good call. I think they've spotted the alkali roaming in the opposite portion of the map.

Okay, that is our thing for that rift herald, but that means they've given up the bot side of the map and look at that. The graves are completely pushing towards that second tier tower. They yeah towers, obviously a fairly important objective to be grabbing. You know, I think it's even more important at times earlier than the dragons, and there is a defense this time from star guardians. Kingston gets jumped upon Roblox, but the ignite tick is going to be just a little too much, so it ends up being a one for one with another kill going over to the ARI Zulu, getting a little fed now for star guardians yeah.

I think since they're still waiting for the vein to sort of ramp up, I think most of the waves will be on irony at this point of the game from until later on, rather uh, and she's doing a pretty great job here, helping to balance it out and slow down the piece of the shadow order ram going on shadow, they decided that that's the kind of game that they want to play and to be fair with the compositions they've got. I don't actually think that that's a terrible choice at all they've got a Riggs. They've got a lux, that's a lot of poke! You talked about that even in the bot lane earlier on, so they're going to be able to seize these towers quite nicely, the star guardians they are going to need to try to find a way to retaliate to that, hopefully find a peak in some part of the map and that may actually be top, which is where they're headed right now yeah but Bianca cake here on the uh on the garden, a speedy, speedy, garden uh not able to get yeah, sometimes just a case of timing, and I've had that happen to me, you go down you try and put a ward and then the enemy team collapses upon you and all of a sudden. You need to try and turn the fight around um, who ultimately goes through cursing sad mummy it connects onto over cop, but here Kylie able to get out of their fine same cool position, shadow water, don't lose anything further from that lux peak, so they've actually done a great job of just slowing that game down a little and giving themselves time to reset here. That was insane.

I mean you'd think that they were able to make it a one-on-one exchange for star guardians jungle for jungle, but you know the valley too slippery, but this could be a potential tower dive, so kennel he wants to respect. I don't know, don't know if the respect is there, the ultimate does come down from nine. I's just enough to keep them at bay, but it's not enough to keep the tower up so shadow order. They've grabbed themselves, another turret, it's two toes to one now: favoring shadow water, they've lost their top power. They've got the spot and the top coat as well, and that second uh turret down in the bot lane, as well as something about half hp.

So things are going pretty well I'd, say: shadow order, yeah shadow order, getting a lot of objectives, and it creates this domino effect and, as you can see, alkali already making his way towards this dragon as the rest of the squad from star guardians are still at the opposite side of the river um. So I guess this is an already uh, a giveaway, maybe not they're, going in they're going to try and contest, but they might be here too late. Smite comes through. It's actually guaranteed to secure the mount dragon for shadow order, but the fight is what really matters right here has, but in the end the dragon was slain by shadow water, and now they're up two dragons to zero yep, the Guarani's fight that has to secure the dragon secondary, interesting fight, but as we can see, alkali getting another kill off of that. You know the aftermath of all that fight in the river yeah.

That alkali is going to be very difficult to deal with five one and three starting to look a little scary waiting for that scaling to come and sort of kick in with the star guardians. They're, really, I think, relying on their HRI a lot in these fights, because that's the champion that has got a lot of the goals right now for star guardian. But when does nine, I start to have an impact on that count. When does the mum start to have a big impact? You know, when does the alum start to become killable? That's the point where star guardian is gonna, be able to start turning this game back on instead, exactly where is the Walmart combo, the 5v5 fights that we mentioned in the draft? But you know shadow horn has been splitting star guardians at the beginning, yeah and a lot of damage comes through early in the fight as well star guardians not looking to crash hot wow Darren another execute. This is going to be the end of the cannon as well as soon as that Sonja's tips over and another couple of peaks for shadow order up to 45k gold and as we're speaking that boldly just seems to increase an increase in increase.

You know two or three minutes ago it was a 2k gold discrepancy, and now it's glued out to 89k, exactly shadow order is just really giving star guardians a hard time, especially they've managed to take control over the most of the parts in the map already and when we looked at the fight earlier. That was the best set uh from the canon, but unfortunately no follow-up means not a lot to get out of that beautiful setup. Yeah, I mean it can be quite difficult when you are a canon that has fallen behind because by nature that champion needs to be in close range and if you don't have the damage- and you are in close range trying to use your abilities, things can go pretty wrong. There's a catch here onto the Carly, and it's actually a cc chain as well. I did wonder maybe overwatch would have gotten away, as you mentioned earlier, very slippery, but not this time with cc change from star guardians.

They look to try and push the issue, but the brawl ultimate does not connect so now to be able to get back to the safety of the turret. For now, for now I I I felt the uh. I felt their blood. They wanted the tower dive there as name as the graves was all alone, and they probably had the capability of doing so. Everyone had their flashes up, except for king sawyer, but I guess they had to be patient as again.

They were rewarded with that tip earlier, and they had a bit of time to push the waves at least to have a comfortable. You know map situation yeah. You know I was just taking a look at the gold there for each of the champions and actually shadow water. Their graves is their strongest champion right now, even despite the Carly having you know, five kills look at the gold. The crazy pickup he's got three items completed there as well.

So, even though he hasn't been picking up, the kills he's just been farming this whole time and has picked up a lot of cash off the back of that yeah. They managed to uh sort of half the map and what the the jungle of star guardians has been dominated by the graves. But here comes the tower guys yeah. I don't know that king saw is gonna, be able to get out of this one alive, certainly not when nobody cop connects the ultimate they're gonna. Look for some more! That's a good combo.

Finally, it's here for star guardians. We spoke about it, we asked for it, and that is exactly what they were looking for. ARI arrives as well late in the fight, and that should be enough for the cleanup shadow order. They should not be getting out of here alive at all. And finally, the guardians have put that composition to work.

It was beautiful. That was a beautiful set. We were just as you mentioned. We were looking for it, the normal old over the cannon and vice versa, and they're rewarded shadow order. At this point, they have to be careful, even though, let's just say, they're ahead.

When it comes to the competition as five-star guardians, they execute the ultimate well, they should win that scaling. That's really starting to come into effect, star guardians and that team find presence. Now they look to baron, and they should be able to secure this one pretty comfortably without a water only just now, starting to respawn and exit their base, so they won't be here in time and what a swing that is for the goal that was about an 8 or 9k deficit for staff guardians. Now it's down to about a 5k deficit, so they are slowly starting to come back into this game. I would say at this point, though they are still behind.

So it's an uphill battle for stark guardians, but at least there's some fight. Now, yeah there's a little of uh. I think sweat from shadow order after that fight, and they have to be careful and try to do what they did from the first part of the game, make sure to see if they can split the team in half or star guardians and that's the time they can take a pic because that's where their strength is at and never mind, maybe a little preemptive from a movement here, but the brawl follow-up wow. That's a lot of damage coming through from the Baum and again another advantage for star guardians. But can it turn back on its head? Certainly not shadow order? They don't have their team in the right positions, and now they've over committed as well.

It's just cake. That's left alive shadow order they trickled into that fight, and they were punished for it yeah. It was a very, very slow trickle. I believe, which you know props to a lump here for starting that fight and that's a lot of death. Timers 30 seconds 20 seconds tops they're, knocking on the base of shadow order already yeah.

This is going to be too good cake, still waiting for teammates to respawn 17 seconds for Obama 12 for the lux. I'm not sure if it's going to happen. That is the next stop star guardians, but the very good comeback have actually managed to win the game. I can't believe it from the start that they had. You would have thought they were done, but it just goes to show the power of having that late game composition, star guardians come away with the win, and they're quite pleased with that.

I absolutely agree. It was crazy because it was really throughout the whole game. From early to mid, it seemed like shadow order had that game in the back, but patience is key and waiting for that late game is what turned the tides of battle and star guardians won that match. Yeah, I mean we talked about that. While we were casting the game, didn't we and even in the draft, we thought that this was a bit more of a late game, oriented kind of a team composition, four-star guardians where shadow order would be quite happy to try and put in a bit of work early.

They tried to take some fights early on in the piece, and they did, and they won those fights, but the advantage and the lead that they got themselves wasn't quite enough. I thought there was a couple of defining moments that we saw throughout that game as well. That seemed to start turning things around for me: bang pen on the Baum, with the Rome's doing a really, really good job being able to open up a couple of early engagements for star guardians, but then for me, the MVP and I think, we'll probably see that when we do get to the uh stats at the end of the game as well, here was Dixie Diaz, uh, aka Zulu on the re. So let's have a look at the post game stats and see whether I'm going to be correct in that assumption. Have to imagine it can't go to anyone, but that HRI, and indeed the MVP, does go over six zero and six for that game.

I mean not really a foot wrong by uh Dixie, Diaz and great work for star guardians really carrying them through not only the late game but, most importantly, it felt like the early and the mid-game was where some of that re presence really did help them out yeah. Absolutely it's just one of those things where mid to early to mid, rather you've got Devi Diaz. Being that solid rock in the mid-lane, as you can see, with the stats got four deaths, four to three deaths and some members it just spells out how tough of the early game is for the star guardian shadow order, though the SVP there will be solos on the alkali, he did his absolute best. But again, the late game kept creeping in towards not in their favor. Yeah, certainly was quite uh an annoyance to deal with for star guardians I'll say that much at least.

I also thought that the graves in there as well name did a pretty reasonable job, seemed to be getting quite farmed up, but again just did get a little out scaled and when you're going up against a composition that has such strong team fighting like a mum cannon Baum, even you know your sort of layer, those ultimate son top of each other and then the damage follow up from the vein and the re. I think it's going to be difficult to deal with, regardless of how strong you really are and the further we got into that game. You saw sort of star guardians were able to really start to capitalize on that late game scaling once they got a few items under their belt. Things really started to look a little better for them and overall, very nicely played a game by star guardians. But of course congratulations to the MVP deny Diaz.

I thought she played a great game there and uh you'd be quite happy. Obviously she Haley's from the Philippines. So you know, as you said earlier, on uh, you were a fan of Dixie Diaz. Now you must be even more so yeah absolutely happy carrying that. You know pH flag and no dance in the game and able to again be that solid rock.

In the mid-lane able to, I can stabilize everything, even though the rest of the lanes were a little being ranked by uh the graves and as well as they'll call well, I think lucky for us as well. Roku we've got an interview, so why don't we jump straight into that? One hi Dixie, hey Dixie, hello! My first question is uh. What does it feel like to play wild rift on the new ROG 0.5?
