WHY KELRA is the GOLD STANDARD: 3 Game-Changing Traits in TLPH vs FNOP Game 3 | MPL PH S14 | MLBB — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00"The GOLD STANDARD." One of the most iconic titles that a player can receive. It's not just a title
2. 0:07But it speaks how decorated Kelra is as a Gold laner. That almost all players even coaches wanted him to be their gold lane
3. 0:16That's why watch this until the very end, so I can show you the 3 Game-Changing traits
4. 0:22That I think became the reason why Kelra was monikered "The Gold Standard."
5. 0:28#1 Trade, or the trading of skills. This isn't being emphasized enough how crucial especially for a Gold laner
6. 0:37that he knows how to trade skills, and his aware that he can gain an advantage during that process.
7. 0:43For example here, range wise clint has the upper hand. And if you aren't comfortable with karrie, you might become passive
8. 0:50But Kelra, knowing the skillset of Clint, he knows that at some point he can win.
9. 0:56Here, if you can observe they are the same level 2. So technically, the marksman only has 2 skills.
10. 1:02So the clint will unleashed his 1st skill. And instead of going back, Kelra will release his basic attack + 2nd skill
11. 1:09Then Benny will let loose his 2nd skill then activate his passive. So, if you know how to trade
12. 1:14we are not sure but with those movements, Kelra is aware that with the level 2 Clint,
13. 1:20He no longer has any skills to activate. And because his 2nd skill has a shorter cooldown, he didn't think twice
14. 1:26To move forward and release his 2nd skill to hit the clint. You see?
15. 1:30So with that one extra movement, Kelra equalizes the trading of skills which if you can see
16. 1:37they're not far ahead in damage taken. Think about if Kelra didn't activate his 2nd skill here, maybe in the trading he's at a disadvantage.
17. 1:44But the best example that will show that Kelra mastered the art of trading is in this scenario.
18. 1:51If you'll observe the 2 wagon cart, you can see that Bennyqt's cart has more hp and on Kelra's side, his gold cart has a lower hp
19. 2:00What does that mean? Kelra's cart will die first before Benny's, thus
20. 2:05This is where the concept of Denying minions from the enemy comes into picture. Because Kelra's wagon will be the first to die
21. 2:12He will find ways, applying the art of trading to deny from the Benny this wagon cart. And it starts
22. 2:18When he have the vision that the clint is rotating in this particular side bush. So when his cart is at low hp
23. 2:24that's the time he move in that side bush. Maybe in Benny's mind, Kelra isn't aware that his in this bush
24. 2:30which is why he'll go for the trade. However, Kelra knowing the skillset of Karrie and Clint
25. 2:36he's aware that he can gain the upper hand. And because Benny isn't aware that he will lose this trade
26. 2:41Look at his cart? Did Benny got it? No! You See?
27. 2:45The simple trading transitioned into a denial of one minion. It may seem insignificant
28. 2:50but one wagon that you didn't get in the pro scene. Your already ahead as the Gold Laner.
29. 2:55#2 Scale or scaling. Simply, you should be getting stronger when your the gold lane
30. 3:01because your the GOLD LANE, so you should be the most farm of all the roles for the reason that your lane designates the highest gold.
31. 3:08However to further escalate your farm is by joining in TEAMFIGHT, because this is where you will get your kills and objectives.
32. 3:16Especially if the turtle is on your side, which you can see Kelra, he's joining the teamfight here.
33. 3:23Though his teammates already did the job for him and his enemies are retreating, why will I still help if it's over?
34. 3:29Nope, if you can observe, Team Liquid is retreating
35. 3:32thus, what was left unattended? The midlane tower, hence, you can maximize your scaling by taking towers.
36. 3:39You see? The bottom line is the Gold lane is present whenever there's a clash. Because that's where he will obtain kills and objectives.
37. 3:48What's the point of buying damage items so you will hurt but you won't use it in heroes and objectives? It's a waste of farm right?
38. 3:57That's why if you can see whenever there's a teamfight, Kelra is there to dish the damage.
39. 4:03Thus, his farm will drastically increase because his utilizing his damage items towards the hero.
40. 4:08And with those 3 kills, it's enough for Kelra to be ahead of 1 item from Benny. Where heptasis is his main item that he currently has.
41. 4:17While for Kelra, he already have 2 core items. That only happened because Kelra let his hero scale by joining in teamfights and the taking of objectives
42. 4:26But with everything I've said, I believe #3 is the very most important, which is #3 POSITIONING.
43. 4:34I can't emphasize this enough, you can forget about trading and scaling as long as your position is on point as a gold laner, I am telling you
44. 4:41You'll be in front of all the Gold laners that doesn't know the proper positioning.
45. 4:46So, what's the ideal position of a Gold Laner? Simply, in the BACK and that's it.
46. 4:51Don't you, like don't ever be in the front when your the Gold lane, for goodness sake, your not the TANK or XP
47. 4:58Please, just stay in the back. I've seen a lot of Gold laners that are always in front and 9/10 times, they always end up dead.
48. 5:06For example here, look at whose at the forefront: Core, mage, and tank. But where's the gold lane? At the BACK
49. 5:13So because the gold lane is at the back, even if a set came out of nowhere that Onic doesn't know
50. 5:18But because someone is on front and not the Gold lane he won't be the one to receive the set. That's one
51. 5:24And since the Aurora flickered in, we know that he'll unleash his ult.
52. 5:28However, a side step of Kelra and he avoided the disaster. And with that, the Karrie is free to hit anybody
53. 5:35that no matter what play that Team Liquid do, they can't do anything because the Karrie is on the run
54. 5:41since he knows the proper positioning. Now, this is a bonus, but this is one of the examples that goes against everything that I talk about before.
55. 5:50But the Pros can do it because of #4 TRUST (TIWALA).
56. 5:54In this scenario, this situation is one of the worst possible ways that a Gold lane will experience.
57. 6:00Your at front, and you don't have any vision who will set you.
58. 6:04Basically, don't do this if you do not trust the map awareness of your teammates.
59. 6:09Because here, if Brusko didn't activate his ultimate, the Karrie's dead. Or even if the Tigreal had ult
60. 6:14If there was no reinforcement from his team, he's dead nevertheless. But because of that TRUST that he has from his team,
61. 6:22They eventually turn this around. Is the analysis on point? Mostly, the things that I said that Kelra's doing
62. 6:28it's also being done by other proficient gold laners. But because Kelra possess these three, not only he acquired them
63. 6:35but he's applying it in the game itself speaks levels why he's called the Gold Standard.
64. 6:41Because he is putting into practice what should a Gold Laner must do
65. 6:46Check out this video, because Roger Gold lane became a Meta. There are certain conditions that must be met if you'll attempt to use it in the Gold lane.
