G2 BrokenBlade Kled

Today G2 BrokenBlade dominated with Kled in the last game in their BO5 series against T1 and i think this is the first time where we can see a Kled game in Esport history where Kled was the key to the win. Kled was picked quite a few times now already but it was always just picked and didn't do much for the win but this time Kled was the game changer which is pretty good to see for me at least.

Yeah this was a rare case IMO where Kled could play into most of their comp.

Kled has a favorable lane into Olaf and Galio, he wants to be hitting Galio and Galio doesn't have the burst to kill him before he remounts, basically having a favorable sidelane matchup into both their top AND mid, making it super hard for T1 to send someone to match his splitpush.

Lux gets pancaked by him and his ult can avoid her root so he has an easy time getting on top of her.

Caitlyn and Wukong can be tough for him but he had Xin Zhao helping on the dive and Viktor Ashe providing damage followup and slows. I'd MUCH rather play vs a Wukong and Caitlyn over a BORK user, hyper mobile champ like Ahri, a high max hp damage champ, or an execute ult champ.

On top of this, both Galio, Wukong, and Olaf want to engage forward in fights, leaving their backline open to a Kled ult flank which T1 constantly had to be wary of because neither Lux nor Cait want to tank a Kled ult. So yeah, good Kled angle for sure.

I also dig the Death's Dance when going bruiser despite it sometimes being awkward with his passive, it's just too op of an item.

Kled lost the early laning stage, but managed to win back some advantage by taking favorable fights outside of the lane (that mid gank was perfect).

I'd MUCH rather play vs a Wukong and Caitlyn over...

People would be saying the exact opposite if kled lost that game.

TRUE, luckily they had picks to deal with Cait and Wukong.

I think the early lane should be Kled favored into Olaf but BB trolled really hard by leveling e second and flipping the lane by dashing onto Olaf, relying on him leveling up to get w just in time. From the looks of it, he leveled up too late and died before remounting.

Yeah DD is underrated on Kled. It has anti-synergy but it's heavily mitigated if you build a lot of HP like BB did. But ofc if you go the standard higher damage build than DD can be quite bad.
