How Rank 1 Reached 1000LP with "Fast 9" Strategy | In Too Deep with Frodan

Useless vids bro, don't take a clutter mind to illustrate how to fast nine ... Who cares who he is, clutter make the fast nine by itself

Very luck at the end, hitting a 5 cost headliner in lv9 IS soooo higroll. Excelent vid explaining all

I can play AD Flex too.... But really this video is not about skill, but insane luck. If he didn't hit that Lucian with the last reroll, it was over.

NA and China play so differently and I love it!

Where dies the bench gun come from? Don't think I've seen it before

This was an amazing video. Thank you for the in-depth breakdown of Setsuko's decisions and the little tips on how to get a better board and econ! Subbed

Roll 8 to get 4 gold 2 star to def
Risk : low health due to save econ then players seem lucky at some round
Go 9 to get Lucian 5 gold 2 star and Jhin 5 gold 2 star, tank 5 gold 2 star
Tips : get every augment to maximize you econ to fast level
Game sensing on positioning
Item : shojin to Jhin
End game

I started emphasizing econ and started winning.🎉

All I learned from this game is Get Cluttered Mind

I've got ADHD I already have that irl

38% is almost twice as much as 20%, so he is winning 100% (90 something) more games, not 50.

(or you can say that the second place wins 50% less times than the first place)

who miss think fast augment :D

These explanations are so damn good, it's ridiculous. I've been playing TFT almost constantly since Set1 and I have hit some pretty High Elo in most Sets (hitting Master most sets, usually Top100 in Hyperroll as well), but some strategies between Master and Challenger are still worlds apart, and then between "bottom Challenger" and Top 10 players is a huge gap again. I guess maybe players in like Silver/Gold Elo are still missing some basics to directly jump to this strategy, but for players who are already "pretty good" at the game, this was a great explanation to improve with this strategy. I usually play around a decent starting board and then pivot to 4cost HL and then if i get a good board and have enough HP to go for a relatively early 9, I try to get a 5cost HL that fits my comp (swaping Ez for Jhin, swapping poppy for yorik, etc.). But just starting out with the preparation to go to 9 from the very first turn usually seems too unreliable. If you are low, swap your board, then run into an executioner or a decent Jazz board you're just out of the game. I like to play for LP and try reliable comps that give me top4 a lot more than the risky comps to go for the win. But in this video he just had so many outs, almost any 5 cost HL could have given him the win at the end. Hitting some great augments for early levels + trait-indipendent bonuses was part lucky, but also great decision-making. I rarely see an Illaoi or Yorik survive that long with just 1 item. I had Illaoi HL with 3 tanks items die a lot faster, because I had damage augements.

"he wins 50% more games than the second best" two plus two is four minus one that's three quick maths lmao

I kinda needed this breakdown tbh, would love to see you analyze more fast 9 games. I think in set 10 analyzing more and more fast 9 games will not be repetitive or boring, because the sheer flexibility involved is going to mean that every game's journey looks different even when the final capped board looks the same.

Why are you not pointing out his luck when getting lucian headiner jazz which is the main reason he won?

Meh. Yeah the "fast nine" strat sure is strong currently, but let's be honest: in his current spot, the only way he managed to pull that first place off is by getting lucky and hitting jazz. Any other 5 cost legendray headliner would not have made his board strong enough to avoid going 8. Jazz is just too strong currently and is the only reason he managed that game. He went for a gamble that would get you 8th like 9 times out of ten.

Would’ve been better if it wasn’t a cluttered mind start

on 4-6 i could hear a voice in the back of my head "fuck it IM MAD im not rollin"

This man was two rolls away from going 8th if he didn't hit the lucian headliner

sadfsafddsaf

And this is why Ramblinnn gets 30% 2nd places lol

Really digging the in depth educational content.

Not completely sure on how good this game is as an example. Setsuko played well but was basically gifted an illaoi, jhin, Kayn on 8 without rolling.

Love watching games where the difference between going 8th and 1st is so clear. Awesome commentary too

I'm new to this game and it's hard for me so thanks for explaining everything!! I learned a lot.

Why does frodan talk like the guy from the skibidi toilet videos, also why is frodan so bad at tft

Fast 9 is skilled but the odds on getting 5* headliner on 9 is low and that game was a high roll finding Jazz +1 on Lucian. At the end he managed to find the maximum level 9 4 jazz comp which is undoubted the strongest comp of the set. Key notes is preserving hp as much as possible and this playstyle is very augment and portal dependent. You cannot force fast 9 every lobby if augments are not favorable or if it's something like triple prismatic or early aggro lobbies caused by portals.

Frodan analysis is very educational and well explained. BUT… here’s a hot take - fast 9 isn’t really viable. The point of this video is how many tiny details keep setsuko alive every round. If he and lost by just one kore hit ok any single round before stage 4-6, he goes 8th. He rolls deep at level 8 to try and stabilize and he gets lucky he only hits a Caitlin then ezrael and poppy. He has an Econ augment with cluttered and barely barely gets to level 9 and stable. Once he’s there sure he wins. And the stats show it’s the best win rate, BUT… the stats should be interpreted as it’s the best end game comp. There’s tons of players trying to get to a legendary level 9 board that bust out in stage 4 and the stats don’t reflect in the fast 9 comp because they never get enough units in to count towards that comp. For most ranks I think tempo and playing around 2-3 cost headliners and avoiding bleeding mid game will more consistently provide top 4s for most players. Just my hot take the analysis in the video is solid but the title is misleading a bit. Setsuko wont have as much success with this once all the challenger elo players are playing their proper competition.

that lvl 9 roll down was really lucky, hit lucian headliner with 30 gold. how often does he just die?

Thanks for explaining it all and the breakdowns very thoughtful and educational unfortunately too much work for me so I'll be forcing jazz reroll every game :)

is it worth it for him to separate all the items? i know he had cyber augments but id be a bit stressed about not having atleast 2 tank items on my main tank all throughout the game, would adaptive been better on illaoi instead of ziggs two?

Edit: went back and watched how much dmg ziggs does, i kind of see how its worth it to itemize him so now i have another question, since he has the gem on mf isnt it better to make sure his frontline can survive untill it procs?

Really good guide for mid-rank players but would be really helpful to have another guide with how the top players manage their econ so well to consistently have the money to push 9 even without econ augments

Setsuko is 100x faster than I am on my mobile phone 😂 but at my rank, I'm still struggling to fast 9

Although this game is so educative, but if he didn't get Lucian its 90% a top 8 XD

Thx to this, I got Bronze 1 to Gold 2 today after watching this.

wait so if he didn’t hit the lucian on that roll down he was just dead right?

SETSY WETSYS A FUCKING BEAST!

Sure, he played for his outs, but was that not a literally just hit moment, contrary to what was said in the intro? :D He hit the chosen 5-cost Lucian in 7-8 rolls which is already a high roll given the 10% chance for legendary chosen. Also, if it was chosen Illaoi, Quiyana or Yorick was that not just eif given he had literally no backline other that shojin Jhin 1?

No way that this is a good example of analyzing Setsuko. His level 9 hits were unbelievably lucky. I've hit less legendary 2stars while rolling double or triple the gold.

Hey Frodan, always loved your energy since the Hearthstone days. Glad to see you're still around. Keep going!!

one key tech you didnt cover is why he choose not to tech in thresh guardian over apehl rapid? since he had as items on lucian is a stronger frontline not worth?

33 min?

tbh with how many punks showing up in his shop, if it were me i would've hard forced punk reroll, interesting to see how Setsuko plays it out and def very good job on Frodan to explain every little details.

Eh. Some smart stuff but really just lucked into Jazz Lucian. Not the best video I think. If he was not playing Jazz then it might be more unique

Nahh I would've accepted my faith and roll with that 40 gold 😂 but damn i would try that. Just scout and position your units and ofcourse pray that u win that round

Are you guys mad at me? Be honest. Are you guys mad?

Lucian chosen in 10% odds for headliner, PLAYER DIFF 👌

you havent tried the pre level for a 2 cost yet sheesh
