Hey when this is over, I think getting to Masters in a different role would be pretty sick.

I get that game 2 wasn't very flashy, but it was pretty cool seeing you creating advantages for your team by dueling Darius. Must have been a little frustrating, but you did what was needed.

Lots of people talking about wanting to see this series continue and I agree! Specifically because I’d be really interested in seeing how a player like yourself tackles high elo games against seasoned players. Videos like that (and all of yours tbh) have helped me a lot when it comes to understanding the meta and I’d love to see the mindset that goes into masters/gm /challenger games from your perspective >:)

I can definitely understand not wanting to post games where it wasn't necessarily a great game statistic wise and although I am one of the many, I will usually watch whatever you put out because I just like how you do your content and the person you seem to be.

Surely all the way to challenger Pekin. GOATED series

Watched both videos; second game was EPIC, with 5 barons and 2 elders taken. But I really liked your Game 1 explanation of laning into Warwick. It helped me understand why high deaths are acceptable on Warwick as long as you're getting something in return.

Both games felt pretty intense but honestly I loved it, especially the second one, it was so interesting to see how you could use your influence in the game in ways other than kills and actually seeing it work out. Definitely relies on teammates but when it works it works it seems.

Tentacle slapping your way to Masters, way to go!

I gotta say the match up was rough for you at the beginning, but seeing you overcome and explain how to get through the lane phase in that match-up was worth every second of it.

I love your channel not just because of the positivity and skill, but because you also explain yourself and it's a great learning tool. I understand not wanting to post games that are bad games (we all have them), you go 1/20 or something, and nothing happens, but even if you have a game where you are not doing so hot but somehow still affect the game in a positive manner to help your team would be great to see. We all have bad games and me being a bronze player, I really struggle with what to do if I get behind and how to still be helpful. It's great to see stuff like that and being a mid main, it's very helpful watching your videos!

This was my suggestion since the first episode of this series! The most fun off meta mid lane imo.

Please continue this series! It’s awesome, and I look forward to it every day. Uploading two games at once is also much appreciated!

"Warwick feels really bad to play I probably wont ever play him mid" *Procedes to love warwick mid and pick him almost every game*

Please dont end the series. Make it an off-meta to gm series.

Dude that second game was amazing. Really fun to see you get right into the strategy on a slightly baackfoot.

As an Illaoi player I really appreciated these vdeos!! Long games or farmibg games are also enjouable as your insightful and wise commentory is the most enjoyable part of your vids for me. So I would really enjoy slow roll games like these ^^ Thanks for your hardwork and effort!!

What a nail-biter. Such intense games, honestly this off meta climb has so many interesting moments. Seeing that inbred Darius drown in his own tears was hilarious as well. Keep up the good work

Man your videos are entertaining but also makes me want to play whatever champ it is your playing. I learn really well from watching others and watching you makes me feel like i know exactly how to play the champion and now I think I wanna start leaning Illaoi

That second game was amazing! Love watching long and difficult games like that. I also second what some other comments said and it’d be cool to see you play other roles

Love how in the first game you spoke about how "boring" games are not good for the algorithm, just to follow up with a BANGER second game

I really enjoy ur full length video commentarys! Keep up the good work👌🏽✨

Don't stop at masters! Keep going and see how high you can get. I love this series!

I love this series. And id love to see one of these for jungle. You have been auto filled a few times and it is pretty damn entertaining!!!

That second game felt like an action movie lmao and the casual racism by Viego and Darius at the end too of course

Sure hope so Mr. Pekin. Look forward to finding out

Been stuck in silver for ten years now. You are insanely good this game. You make this look almost easy.

"No one would want to see me just farm and die" I beg to differ. Bausffs is my favorite league streamer. There's going 1/8, and there's being boring. They are not always the same.

Hi Pekin! This road to master's has been extremely fun to watch, and I think it's been good for your channel overall. Would really hate to see it go, so how about a series where you try to reach Masters in other roles using off-meta picks? Should be fun!

What a video! Couldn't even watch it in one go before sleeping xD

Never knew how utterly insane Warvick was, that first fight by your tower was crazy!

PEKIN IT'S ALMOST DONE AND NO KAYN MID TO BE SEEN I'M DYING 😭😭 (Great vid as always)

9:20 when you ult on Illaoi you get an invulnerable frame where you cant be hit by the Rakan W.

Feels good that you are impressed with me for watching the whole thing

Illaoi is really good with Phase Rush in a more AD centric build with either Sunderer or Triforce, because it means you can chase down your opponent after pulling the spirit from them, or run away and just reposition. Illaoi E should be maxed first imo though. Your E is your only way of really winning a fight, chasing, or even healing reliably, so you need it to be up more often. I can understand taking 3 levels of Q like Vel'Koz with his W to help clear the wave if you just continuously get pushed in/can't defend tentacles, and won't land E anyway though. I really wish they would make the locked position of her E reduced, because you're effectively stunned for a second when you use it, and a half a second longer if you actually hit. Just compensate with a damage or cooldown nerf, and it'll make the champ actually feel good to play. Also, that second game you should've 100% went Swifties. Janna's Glacial Augment, and Anivia ult are brutal without Swifties. Highly underrated item against teams with slows, but you have to make sure to take at least 1 tenacity rune.

That was an insane second game. Well played

you should play first strike gwen mid for your next game!!

the second game was specially fun to watch, ur teammates were very coordinated, and i lost count of how many barons u guys got XD

Please continue climb to grand masters or even challenger Pekin!

8:42 Janna: "Die wolf!" Warwick: "I'm sorry, did you say something?"

over an hour of a video !!!! this is so awesome

That video was entertaining I'm glad you realesed it. And I just realized that there is a second game POG Edit: Damn that second game was really good, so close till the end

I'm always amazed at your champion knowledge! After this climb would you consider an A-Z challenge playing each champion in league? Genuinely great way for us to learn about each!

Let’s go Pekin! Off meta king!

51:15 I think by "so boring" he meant "it looks like Darius can't actually carry the rest of us, can we have the win anyway tho?" Loved the series, really hoping you decide to climb higher with it.

Clearly you should try Warwick mid soon for this series, after seeing how much work your opponent was able to do in that first game.

Did Pekin get first blood? First game: no, sadly First blood was by ally Tryndamere, around 1:39 Second game: nope, but he assisted with it First blood was by ally Rakan, around 26:36 Win Streak: 0 Highest streak: 3

Damn that was one of the most intense lane match ups i've seen in a while

thanks for uploading it regardless of you thinking it wasnt a good game

Made it through the end of the video, what a big one hahaha, loving the series so far, sad its almost over, make it more often, much love

Would love to see more off meta stuff regardless of how much longer this goes. Could even turn the series into something like "Off-Meta Masters" with you just using champs in unusual lanes. (Except maybe stuff like Yuumi since I can't see Yuumi working as anything but support at that level).

1 hour of pekin ill be eating well tonight

I'm sad to see the series potentially end. Myself and the other 20 Urgot enjoyers are disappointed that we will not see Urgot mid or Jungle (or ADC and support for some). But, Mr Pekin, that just means I will have to respond on any other videos to see you play Urgot and slurp your lane opponent into that urgussy.

I will miss this series if it ends, it's been very enjoyable. Would love to see shotgun sona mid sometime with the new items.

Noooo! This series can't end! Its soooo fun!

Over an hour of pekinwoof lets gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I actually like many builds on illaoi. Trinity works too, full ad also works. Duskblade is also rly fun. Heartsteel has the best lategame scaling. Heartsteel plus fimblewinter into titanic hurts.

congrats on reaching your masters promo off meta ! 🎉

Second game was intense, well played

Ww vs Illaoi early game was nuts! super sparky

this has been your best series so far. Could you try to keep going to grand master?

That team fight was insane and early

that second game was so sick yooo

a 50 minute illaoi game is always good

This is what we want pekin

I am all for continuing this series or maybe trying something like top lane would be really interesting.

that second gmae was so crazy and fun to watch

@PekinWoof the E keeps getting stronger as ur AD increases even though it's already out. The "calculation" is being done per dmg done by your character

Hi Pekin, love the climb and everything you do ❤ my idea for once climbing is over is the off mega Masters Plateau - how long can U stay in Masters playing janky builds 😇 Ty for the amazing and consistent content!!

That last game was nuts phew

Maaaaan..... That lane was so hard with the constant heal from ww and then the rotations turning mid into ARAM Just imagine that on any other low elo loool

I watched the entire vid. DAMN THAT 2nd GAME

51:48 ah so THAT'S why its called "test of spirit"! i get it now!

That 2nd game was so intense. So many barons lol and you're team still couldn't capitalize on the pushes fully. Solo queue is so frustrating lol.

hahaha when you brought up the poppy name I lost my mind

It was interesting to see how you played from behind.

It did go fast you are so talented😍

Thumbs up for winning lane as a melee into an anivia, its my worst nightmare

Another episode let's go!

That was an unfortunate teleport. 😂

"watching someone farm and die on repeat isnt something you wanna publish yk" baus: sweats

i watch these videos to learn how to play against these champs so thank you for that lol

1 Hr 15 Min, a better movie than the last Star Wars trilogy.

THE RAKANS NAME LMAOOOOO PEKINS REACTION

I keep forgetting to do this, rly hoping I can get smth in , I will post some absolutely degenerate builds for u to play! :D let's start with build 1: | ap jax: run (into squishies) electrocute, sudden impact, eyeball collector, relentless hunter or treasure hunter if u want to snowball a bit harder, triumph or presence of mind and coup de grace: build nashers into rocket belt, deathcap, lich bane or defensive with hourglass, then choice of shadowflame or voidstaff (into more tanky team) lethal tempo, triumph or presence, alacrity, last stand, free boots, biscuit with nashers into riftmaker, keep everything else similar, could go tank tho. Kindred mid| Lethal tempo, Triumph, alacrity, coup de grace or last stand, free boots biscuits, building trinity force into wits if ap mid, or brok if into less than 2 ap, bloodthirster, black cleaver, titanic. And lastly, Warwick mid| Lethal tempo, presence of mind, alacrity, last stand, second wind, revitalize. starting with tiamat for wave clear, into trinity, titanic, steraks gage, then situational tank items to finish off, and or bork is always a good option. Anyways, hope u see this and enjoy the builds if u try them :D

I think losses are not so entertaining but mabye if it happens you could point out the mistakes that were made. I still remember when u did the "coaching" or the roast from the darius it was a pretty good video in my opinion and sometimes i would love to get this done to me haha😂

The viego was loosing his mind and it was hilarious to watch

Omg it's my main champ and the best streamer in 1 video... bonkers ❤🎉🎉

the first game was, to my eyes, the best early game of the off-meta series. The darius though, had the best late game ever.

Would love to see rell mid or jungle, maybe build full ap if it feels viable

1:09:11 that was an art.. I'm amazed

great video, nail biter at the end

Thanks for playing illaoi mid bro!

49:53 "So, Darius has no flash btw" -> Darius has no teleport.

I hope this continues into Challenger, or at least like higher master. I'm sure you can pull it off, you have the skill!

Pretty sure they removed the interaction where fighting Illaoi reduces the spirit duration. You just have to let it time out now.

21:10 bro just roasted whole baus career

I really thought your team could have ended after the first time you got triple inhib. Here are the objective timestamps for everyone who's interested. 1st Baron: 44:01 2nd Baron: 50:29 3rd Baron: 56:45 (Enemy Darius: "I'm going to mass report you") Mountain Soul: 57:10 1:02:43 Yone's dying and Varus losing flash probably prevented your team from ending. 4th Baron: 103:31 1st Elder:103:45 Amazing fight 1:09:00-1:09:45 2nd Elder: 1:10:38 5th Baron: 1:11:13 1:13:00 "SHE HAS EGG!" Pekin's team manages to win the last fight at the nexus.

22:39 was glorious lmaoo

Just a side note, iceborn would help against Anivia since the passive gives you straight damage resist and I think it was either slow resist or tenacity, so even if the item stats don’t give mr the passive is still good against everyone

I think games where u don’t get an advantage early on are really interesting bc I think most of ur viewers aren’t challengers like urself and aren’t as skilled so it’s helpful to see how u get urself out of a bad situation
