Shoutout to Cancel Caedrel (4th verse- Harry Potter). This was his first time rapping and doing an LEC rap battle. And he smashed it. If there was a finals series for rap battles Caedrel would make the playoffs.

The Hikaru line from Rustage I'm pretty sure is not a leagye reference but a Chess reference. Hikaru is one of the best chess players and the game is all about predicting 5 moves ahead.

The Vedi verse is great, and to top it off he wrote it in a night. They made a behind the scenes video and the way it shook out there were three teams close to making playoffs (there ended up being tiebreakers) so Vedi wrote a verse based on the team expected to make it in, then when they didn't he had to write a new verse for the team that did instead (the one in this video) and he banged it out that night.

This is why i love watching your reviews on their stuff man. Youre respectful towards them, not shitting on the nature of the rap but looking at it for what it is :) bravo dear sir

Not a miss more a correction or interpretation, on the Zanzarah bar one of his infamous champions is Skarner, which usually forces the enemy team to "pay the tax" of buying an item, if you dont pay the tax you get punished by dying to the champion

Actually zanzarah make 'em pay taxes is not about taxing the wave, it's about enemy team having to pay QSS tax when they play against his infamous skarner. Just to add more: "Like a spreadsheet I'll beat you on a cellular level" making fun of the name Excel which is also a Microsoft Spreadsheet program. Each box being a cell. "Now mad they think they earned a crown, they ain't earn shit just be put down" MAD lions won back to back titles in the LEC but then failed to make spring playoffs "G2, you're just a name on a list" reference to one of the best rap sequences Vedius has ever made in 2020 mediocre rap battle "You're aced, don't resist, your legacy ends here" reference to when a team gets aced, it means the whole team died, also legacy G2 narrative "Humanoid loves to die, he's just a freebee" humanoid dies has been a meme for about 2 years, even when he was still on MAD lions, he tends to overextend and die a lot. "Keep it up and my next monologue will be a eulogy" reference to worlds 2020 when Fnatic played TOP esports in Quaterfinals and went 2-0 up, Sjokz did a monologue before game 3 which in case of a FNC win would sent them to semi's. After the monologue FNC lost 3 in a row, got knocked out and so it's a meme that Sjokz monologues always curse FNC. She's saying the next one might be a more permanent type of curse. Shurima shuffle is specifically used in conjunction with RGE Larssen since it's his most infamous and comfortable champion by far. Odoamne this split has been the best Gankplank player by far, that's why Gankplank is the character of choice here "Jabbing and Maddening you until you're imagining dragons" Imagine dragons have been heavily involved in making music for league of legends. (Enemy and Warriors). Also, they have a a controlling interest in the organisation Rogue.

It's a little sad that you need to really do need to be deep into League and the LEC to understand a the references, because Caedrel's had a whole character arc over the past four years. I'm glad you enjoyed the writing and the performances! Vedius definitely snapped, and it was dope to see Rustage up there, but I knew from minute one that Dan was gonna come over the top and slam. I'm glad they put him last on the track because it would've made anyone who came after him sound worse. He's been writing and rapping for so long, he was already dope when I discovered him in college nearly 16 years ago.

I have to watch this daily now bruh. I gotta sub too. Your vids are legit. Great insights. MUCH LOVE

Sjokz has a behind the scenes that I would recommend checking out. It was pretty kool. I don't know anything about LEC but but all the verses were good

what i like about this format with experienced rappers versus the lec staff is u kinda get a contrast of styles. The casters have a lot of deeper cuts they can work with, but obviously not the same technical skill as a dan bull, compared to the featured rappers who obviously have more skill but more basic material to work with. So as a fan it kinda balances out to where all them have something interesting going for them. Even caedral who has never rapped before is entertaining to watch cause of his more goofy approach.

AP means Ability Power. Usually scales up with mages, basically the more of that you have, the more your abilities (and auto attacks if they are AP) will hit for. Therefore, Rusty had a dope af line there.

Hikaru is a famous chess grandmaster, one of the best of his time and he is known to play online a lot and very fast so that's why he says "predict your moves". Hikaru signed with Misfits as a streamer like 1-2 months ago

Vedius is Fanatic. 4. Harry Potter guys is Ceadrel, he represents Excel, he used to play for that team, now he is their social media manager or smthng like that (also makes reference to himself and how when he was on XL they didn't make playoffs). 5. Sjoks represents MAD Lions, they didn't make playoffs in spring. 6. Dan Bull is Rogue, team that often is first in regular season but never finish first in playoffs.

In fact the first time the team made playoffs was this spring season.

The references about NA (North America) and Americans aren't a jab at the US in general, but the league scene in the US. Europe and NA have a long rivarly where Europe almost always comes on top, hence Americans being free to beat etc.
