I love how MiddleBeast has something to say about every big player on the Korean and the Super Server as if they have been buddies for years. Actual Mr. Worldwide

That hunk of a man, Midbeast, is an E-sports athlete? Unbelievable. He could be a Calvin Klein model. Or a pro footballer with a ripped physique like that. That is by far the hottest Cyber sportsman to ever grace the esports industry. I'd let him beast his way through my mid any day.

“We have to kill the Zeri guys” “We have flash!” Midbeast really making us feel like we are part of high Korean elo

WP to this Riven, she played safe during laning phase, minimized deaths and yea she let some cs go but now she's scaled and is working with her team to win the game! Well played to this Riven.

Small justification for the riven boot swap :) The riven lucidity boots buy was deliberate, it lets her get the cdr she needs in order to surivive lane, jax outscales so she swaps later on. Also the gold value of lucidity boots is higher early game, as it has deminishing returns. So later when the cdr becomes less valuable he switches to tabis, which also have increased in value as the dps from autoattacks has become insane playing against zeri jax and camille.

Not mentioning Adrian when asking who high elo rivens are is disrespect to the goat

That was such a sick game man, that early trading in laning phase was so crisp, loved it, absolute gem of a game!

This has always been an interesting matchup. Even though I stopped maining Riven a while ago I always would love watching high elo riven vs jax. It's really weird - Jax wins level 1-3 Riven wins level 4-10 and on 1 item Then Jax wins after 11. Lol.

Midbeans is the most humble person alive in the planet not just because he beats the gods also he's giving us tips to improve

Midbeast is an absolute unit of a gamer with these detailed and well explained commentary vids and insane gamplay mechanics, this man is peek human gaming prformance.

havent played this game for 5 years, yet this vid still made me watch it all. Good job and nice commentary on the players decision!

Dude whoever makes the cover photos deserves a massive raise. These things are looking hella good

I love how midbeast coments this matches, so professional, so educational, it feels like a conference. For sure one of the best channels to improve your gameplay.

not only midbeast is giving us free improvement tips but he is improving himself watching those vod reviewss may allah bless midbeast

An absolutely classic match up. What a treat to see in 2022

Man champs like Yasuo and Riven are o entertaining to watch, especially when piloted by these onetricks. As a 31 year old who gets bored of stuff really quickly I’ll never ever be remotely close to playing these champs properly, but merely watching this gameplay is quite the satisfaction already.

1:13 You have to show aggression. Babus said that most Korean toplaners will lose their minds if you just play safe, since they're used to aggressive toplaners. Two very different views but very good players!

The wave states told the whole story of the first 6 minutes. Love when players are humans.

6:24 Omg what is this Soloq server bro... They read the map so well. Both supps went top and did their job, plus that Nida fixing the wave, those fundamentals and macro are chains to prevent these insanely skilled players of snowballing even more, cuz otherwise your top or mid ends up being 0/4

it is so exciting to watch these high skill games with permanent jungle and support roams!

Inhib can sometimes be a bad call unless you can monopolize on the super minions keeping their midlane pressured. If you can't, then it's just more gold and xp for the enemy team

Built is currently rank #1 on EUW with 1734 LP as a riven one trick maybe you should make a video about him? :D has something like 64% winrate

Glad to see another Huge minimap enjoyer. 👀

I like my minimap max size as well, it's easier to notice things and having it smaller really doesn't have any advantages.

Worth watching Azhy if you have any interest in Riven, Jayce or Fiora. He’s known for his Riven but he’s also very strong on the other 2

I think that at 19:49 it was better to keep pushing to get another tower, seen that they could not contest baron anyways

I FUCKING LOVE the Riven content man! AZHY is a DEMON!!!

Damn this game was INTENSE! I love Riven as a champion, man.

At around 1:30 are you saying Koreans consider Blade a crazy carry top laner or just Jax?

Hey Drew (or editor if you're reading this), if its not too much work, I think your videos would improve a lot if you switch between POVs, it would stop us from watching parts where nothing happens (for example if the Riven dies we are stuck looking at a grey screen for 40 seconds) and I find that the ending of the game is somewhat spoiled since the POV is usually from the winner. Of course these videos are still great to watch, but it definitely would be more fun to see both perspectives

I v never seen you do vod on vlad otp on korea or chinaSv, can you do it pls ?

Midbeast please do a review of Psychedelic 1 (EUW). He's the first person since Jebsu to hit Challenger with triforce on-hit Twisted Fate. He plays with either glacial augment or lethal tempo.

Euw has a few Ricen OTPs as well, they are not really known tho. For example „Built Riven“ or „RippedIrl“ also there is Rueven but he‘s taking a break atm.

Even in gold junglers put up freezes to lanes and help push etc...

I swear the E spam Sound on this skin is triggering maybe just me. But very good video! Great insight.

I have minimap that bit too, I'm only plat 2 but I think it's clear from this that I have challenger level game knowledge.

I'm just glad we didn't have to hear TF blade's screaming and FF shouting during this vod review :)

more tf blade plz this psycho is damn fun and intersting to watch

Riven is like Yasuo, it's not that the mechanics of the champ are that difficult, it's the fact that you have to absolutely know when (and who) you can and can't fight. It's not that people don't have the mechanics to play those champs, it's that they can't recognize how to play the champs around a fight. If that makes any sense.

I understand it for top laners, but it always bothers me as a jng main how I don't see more jungler playing with a maxed size mini map. It can kinda get in the way but so much of jungle is just staring at the mini map 24/7 while clearing your camps.

I think the people who say "Riven is easy" is regarding her fairly simple gameplan. Someone like Kled or Ryze or surprisingly enough Teemo top have more complicated general gameplan pans than the "win lane, splitpush, join teamfights later" from Riven. Idea is that league mechanics, even with someone like Riven are really easy compared to other games in mechanics. This game really can never compare to a Street Fighter or Guilty Gear or Osu or Dark Souls, and if you have a background in any one of these more mechanically intense games league is a walk in the park. Big-picture gameplan, wave management, roaming, positioning, personal resource management, cooldown awareness are much more difficult skills in that case. And Riven with her no-mana good escape mobility super low cooldowns never really has to worry about this stuff more than the norm.

That fight at 16:50 is so unlucky for Blade, Riven dies there 100% if that support doesn't roam all the way to top tribush. Just a great heads up play by blue team.

you should do review of built's riven he is rank 2 euw currently

Jax is a monster specially on late games, in this game with sunderer not yet nerfed. The good play is, he baited the Jax R when team collapsed on mid, the outbreak happened without Jax R is so huge thus they won the fight. If Jax didnt ult on the solo fight at bot lane, this could be a different turnover specially when LS isolate that Jax also Soraka caught thus Zeri can't do anything at that point.

Love that Midbeast, such a handsome bloke.

26:40 that last teamfight tho

LOL the riven was so annoyed at how much the nid camped the jax. Said he wanted to type something in all chat when they won the game because nid was sitting by jax too much in his mind.

Feel like the riven played slightly better considering nidalee was sitting top much more than the riven team

you're telling me a shrimp fried that rice? unbelievable

Been watching TFBlade stream for awhile and every Nautilus game either roams and makes so many plays that they get a massive lead or runs it down till 15mins LOL 😂Korean Nautilus are really next level big brain players.

i love how you're low-key against tfblade on this one lmao

18:56 "They reckon Riven's not that hard." Why you can't trust Twitch chat.

5:15 I do that in plat elo euw and honestly that might be the reason why I cant climb , instead of getting stronger I dont want my teammates to get behind

how do you even enlarge the minimap to that scale

best thing ever when KatEvolved, Midbeans, Nemesis, Yamato, TFblade or Baus face each other

Imagine if Midbeast learned Korean and could tel us what they’re saying

It was so funny when Nidalee froze the wave early game, he was like "damn, isn't she the toplaner's dog at this point..." xD

every time i see a tfblade vod hes getting baby sat.

13:25 there’s a lot in CN tho there are 3 1500+ lp challenger riven in Superserver. CN definitely produce best carry toplaners.

10:31 Literally thought I lagged

from playing riven myself back in the day when i actually played this game, even the best riven players struggle with map awareness just because the champ is so mechanically intensive, 1 missed auto and its the difference between getting a kill or dying yourself and the difference between getting a kill and snowballing or dying and being snowballed on is .. i dont even need to explain to anyone i think how big that is on this champion. no surprise his map is that big. i did the same thing when i played and it was still hard to watch other lanes/the minimap. compared to literally any other champion i d play or when i d play mid and . its night and day. couple things: he went tabi cause he has resolve 2nd - assuming unflinching and its pretty standard to go legend tenacity on riven. attack speed feels good early but its irrelevant pretty soon into games. riven into jax in the pure 1v1 after the first couple levels - basically 3 onwards - is riven favoured. elite riven players win this matchup cause worst case scenario you kite the jax with e-w and can even cancel his jump with Q3 if you re really really good and in the right situation where you stacked your Qs correctly expecting jax q to come through. best case scenario you kill him and snowball and he has to get something at 6 or because irrelevant till 2 items. the 1v1 botlane when riven had gore cleaver and blade had just sunderer looked closer than it would be. he knew nidalee was close and it affected the way he played it. if he had the full freedom to play it like he wanted in a straight 1v1, blade would still lose although midbeast is right. jax is a disgusting champ. at any point in league history once he finishes his first item and gets closer and closer to 11 he s a disgusting champ. thats why you see this champ so often in soloq if you play toplane even when its not a good meta pick cause.. the pressre is on the enemy team/laner. the jax can afford to go 0-4 and eventually, no matter what he ll become a monster anyway. whereas someone like riven - yes current itemization works really well in her favour - if she falls behind she s nothing.

Early game trades were 🔥

They had to babysit tfblade cuz they knew that riven would own him.

LordKebab7000 and built on EUW are both insane 1kLP+ riven players. Lordkebab streams too at ripped_lol he's a norwegian pro

It was a top gap. Such refined plays. Riven played the game perfectly.

very entertaining game, thanks Mr. Beast

About high elo riven otps we have Built on the euw server currently rank 3 this guy is crazy good should check him out once he reach rank 1

21:57 riven bug love it

Blade was babysit whole early

That diss on Adrian

the jungler fixing lanes wave state is even a common thing in diamond on euw. good video still.

riven has the match up jax can't win a single trade

Brings back the concept that na challenger is masters korea or diamond korea at its best when people like viper, pobelter, tfblade and so on go to reach high ranks in korea.

Hey Midbeast if u can could u find a cn super server akali or kr akali id love 2 see a video on it

dopaslayer95 is back in

Riven is what you called easy to learn but hard to master

Built in euw was rank 2 (now rank 4) and is riven otp

the thing that i noticed that this riven does compared to the other ones you'll see in like. NA or rarely in EU (and a lot in CN as well, although maybe not as many as NA there either) is A: koreans definitely punish the smaller cooldown windows the riven has to cc her down in that duration if there is no flash up B: this riven played it more like an assassin in teamfights, going in to clean up kills or push the zeri out of the fight as opposed to diving in 1 v 5 and just being more mechanically talented than the other 5 people (like it is in NA with the 1 v 5 riven montages) C: Extremely patient instead of overly aggressive, which is definitely something you dont see as often in top lane in korea from what ive seen. smart quick trades where riven excels over extended trades where jax definitely wins it. this is just my opinion ofc, but all in all it was a good matchup to watch, it definitely coulda gone either way cuz TF was playing super well and drawing so much pressure for his team in the split push

This Riven is a menace lmao.

Do the tf blade vs canyon too

Fascinating game

nice vod

Man, at 16:00, the way he auto cancels on the ranged minions... riven is barely starting the swing. I've never seen someone cancel with such a small margin like that, holy cow.

I think riven mechanically in a 1v1 isn't too difficult to pick up, but having the mechanics and micro knowledge in team fights is what sets apart the okay rivers from the box box rivens.

What was the guy saying in Korean at the end

Midbeast check out this insane Riven one trick named “Built”. He’s like top 4 in EUW right now

I still think blade is a psychopath and he didn't even know his jungler is coming 🤣😂

TFBlade be pulling mid and winning 75 percent of his Garen games, hope we get a nice breakdown, he’s ripping over 9 cs/minute on him too

Do video on "Built" EUW Riven main Rank 4 atm.

I really hate playing riven vs jax . He always gets me after completing sunderer or bork even if i have 6 items

That was midgap. Camille didn’t have presence in the fights

Let’s be honest any game júnglers aren’t blowing tf blade’s ass he loses lane

the tp doesnt matter on riven, statistically the champ has no late game 25-30minutes games are about its best results but at full build its too vulnerable to point and click cc and has no base ad so you have to build almost all damage to get any kind of damage late game that you die instantly if you cant e

Blade got gapped, but having Ruler on Zeri is too much for every team, even a fed Riven.

that's all cool and stuff... but did you know that the chad of a man midbeast beat dopa in a game called league of legends

I was waiting for more thebausffs :(

2:22 lol there is no visual queue that he stepped on the Nidalee trap - this is BS Riot!

How does that guy extend his minimap so hard?

Perfect Riven game

Uhh I thought this was MIDbeast :p xD
