WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:04.000 Oh, oh, get to me 00:04.000 --> 00:07.000 I'm gonna say goodbye, get real 00:07.000 --> 00:10.000 Oh, oh, keep it movin' 00:10.000 --> 00:12.000 Side of my body up 01:30.000 --> 01:41.000 I throw what they say in this room 01:41.000 --> 01:47.000 There's a girl for your eyes, tell me can you see right through 01:47.000 --> 01:54.000 I think, I think, I think, why is he not that blind 04:54.000 --> 04:56.000 Rocking experience 04:58.960 --> 05:01.040 Welcome OC to the Jason Rogan experience 05:01.320 --> 05:05.080 You're the long line of you're the next in a long line of North American 05:05.200 --> 05:07.840 Oppers and marksmen coming on to the show 05:08.280 --> 05:12.320 I'm I guess I'm just looking if you look back in the history of North American Counter-Strike 05:12.320 --> 05:15.680 What are your big op influences is there anyone that's really piqued your interest? 05:16.080 --> 05:21.120 No, no, no, no, really. Yeah, there hasn't been a whole lot of good oppers coming out of the region 05:21.680 --> 05:23.680 Yeah, I mean kind of suck 05:24.000 --> 05:29.000 What is it about you that makes you such an intriguing cypher for the team? 05:29.000 --> 05:32.000 Like what was it about the weapon that first got you interested? 05:32.000 --> 05:36.000 Nothing, it was actually just no one else wanted it. 05:36.000 --> 05:41.000 And when I first joined my team, or first open team, they were like, yeah, I don't want to op. 05:41.000 --> 05:43.000 No one else wanted to op, so I was like, alright, I'll try it out. 05:43.000 --> 05:48.000 Yeah, that's fair. You know, I'm back in the day, way back in the day. 05:48.000 --> 05:50.000 I was somewhat of a marksman myself. 05:50.000 --> 05:53.000 I quite enjoyed picking up the big green, running around the map. 05:53.000 --> 05:57.800 I had great form. I was shoulder straight back, you know, perfect posture. Yeah, perfect. 05:57.800 --> 06:00.680 But can you show me what you look like when you're? Oh, man. I don't know. What have you got? 06:02.520 --> 06:07.640 Yeah, like a little bit of a lean to it. Yeah. So your shots probably flicked to the left a little 06:07.640 --> 06:16.200 bit more. Yeah. I mean, my back has definitely been feeling the past few years playing. So, yeah. 06:16.200 --> 06:19.480 I think that's one of the things most North American operators doing over to Europe where 06:19.480 --> 06:23.240 where they have that perfect posture is like that, that little lean that you've got going 06:23.240 --> 06:26.600 on that throws you off quite a bit. If your fundamentals are off, once you get to the 06:26.600 --> 06:28.000 big leagues, it's going to be tough. 06:28.000 --> 06:29.000 Oh yeah. 06:29.000 --> 06:31.640 What do you think about the problem? Like, what do you think if Valve actually brought 06:31.640 --> 06:35.720 a bow and arrow into the game with Counter-Strike, especially for North Americans? I could feel 06:35.720 --> 06:37.840 it can be, it could be a huge benefit. 06:37.840 --> 06:46.040 Yeah. I mean, it seems like us being on the same playing field or level of with the Europeans, 06:46.040 --> 06:48.520 It doesn't help, so we need some sort of advantage over them, you know? 06:48.520 --> 06:51.200 So maybe a bow would help us. 06:51.200 --> 06:52.400 Right, we know how to handle a bow. 06:52.400 --> 06:53.600 Yeah, we got some experience with that. 06:53.600 --> 06:55.440 Yeah, I think that could actually be the move that makes 06:55.440 --> 06:57.800 North American Counter-Strike come right back into the map. 06:57.800 --> 07:00.160 Yeah, I mean, it would be exciting to try out a new gun. 07:00.160 --> 07:02.480 I mean, not even a gun, just a bow and arrow, yeah. 07:02.480 --> 07:03.600 Yeah, pin people to the wall. 07:03.600 --> 07:04.080 It'd be great. 07:04.080 --> 07:07.600 Jason Brogan, podcast, check it out. 07:07.600 --> 07:10.360 Hey, Jason, rocking, experience. 07:10.360 --> 07:11.640 Count us like my days. 07:11.640 --> 07:13.880 Jason Brogan, podcast, by night. 07:13.880 --> 07:14.920 This is an interesting one. 07:14.920 --> 07:19.160 How easy is it to tell something is off with your team? 07:19.160 --> 07:22.840 Because I was talking earlier about how it's such an intimate thing 07:22.840 --> 07:26.200 with the five players plus the coach when it's live. 07:26.200 --> 07:31.560 But you can tell with a player's tone of voice or lack of communication 07:31.560 --> 07:35.960 or something that something is wrong with an individual or the team. 07:35.960 --> 07:40.320 How quick into a game can you be like, oh, shit, they're not in it today. 07:40.320 --> 07:43.920 Or this guy, he's not, something's not clicking. 07:43.920 --> 07:45.920 For you, that probably doesn't happen too often at the moment. 07:45.920 --> 07:47.920 Ah, it happens, no? 07:47.920 --> 07:55.920 Yeah, even another time, I guess, Parry vision, some maps at PGL Cluj overall. 07:55.920 --> 07:59.920 Even though we did the comeback, but we found a solution to the bounce back as a clip. 07:59.920 --> 08:00.920 But it happens, yeah. 08:00.920 --> 08:05.920 Like, I remember at the end of the quarterfinal, for example, against Aurora, 08:05.920 --> 08:09.920 and Cluj, okay, we won 2-0, but we felt something was wrong. 08:09.920 --> 08:16.920 We won't Inferno, but it was not that close, but it should have been closer than that. 08:16.920 --> 08:21.920 And we had to talk between maps, like guys, we are not the best right now, we are not playing super well. 08:21.920 --> 08:25.920 It's just a bad day, or what are you chalk those things up to? 08:25.920 --> 08:33.920 There is stuff, like I don't know, maybe it was also after four or five days I think, for the quarter final. 08:33.920 --> 08:42.120 And we needed to eye-pitch, basically, because it's still a cry of final, and you have to 08:42.120 --> 08:47.080 make sure you have to close the game, and it was a bit special, and we want some stupid 08:47.080 --> 08:49.920 ones, to be honest. 08:49.920 --> 08:52.400 And yeah, you can feel it, basically. 08:52.400 --> 08:55.760 We have a team, when you have a game leader like Dan, he wants energy, he wants to feed 08:55.760 --> 08:56.760 the guys. 08:56.760 --> 08:59.880 And after one to buy one, I can feel it, it's something is wrong. 08:59.880 --> 09:00.880 With the energy, especially. 09:00.880 --> 09:02.480 Does his energy ever dip? 09:02.480 --> 09:05.280 Like, sometimes, especially the second half of last year, 09:05.280 --> 09:06.920 his individual form dipped a little bit, 09:06.920 --> 09:10.080 and then he was taking more risks to try and like, 09:10.080 --> 09:11.600 it looked like he was trying to force things, right? 09:11.600 --> 09:13.280 Because maybe the team wasn't doing what he wanted them 09:13.280 --> 09:14.120 to do or something like that, 09:14.120 --> 09:15.680 but is his energy ever different? 09:15.680 --> 09:18.000 Yeah, he also felt something was wrong, you know? 09:18.000 --> 09:21.680 Some of his players' energy was different or less confidence. 09:21.680 --> 09:24.080 We had one or two maps. 09:24.080 --> 09:26.200 We didn't feel comfortable individually, 09:26.200 --> 09:27.760 like train, for example. 09:27.760 --> 09:29.680 And those maps, I don't remember those maps. 09:29.680 --> 09:31.680 Maybe it was an infernal bit this time. 09:31.680 --> 09:33.680 What about now? 09:33.680 --> 09:37.680 No, I cannot say anything. 09:37.680 --> 09:41.680 So yeah, you can feel it. 09:41.680 --> 09:47.680 The problem you can have done sometimes is yes, when you feel something is wrong, 09:47.680 --> 09:50.680 you will try to force move a bit more, a bit more, a bit more. 09:50.680 --> 09:54.680 We have to do something, so it's the moment you need as a coach to write, 09:54.680 --> 09:56.680 and now we need to be something together. 09:56.680 --> 10:03.180 Because the problem with players, when they lack of confidence, they will try to do a hero play, but individually. 10:03.180 --> 10:12.180 And not a good timing, etc. So it means they are losing the confidence of their feelings, so you need to adapt instantly and try to do something together. 10:12.180 --> 10:13.180 I let him. 10:26.680 --> 10:27.680 Get on y'all! 10:44.680 --> 10:48.680 Mr. Sorrentus, the rumours I've heard in the community are all true. 10:48.680 --> 10:51.680 Your knife is a beautiful float. 10:51.680 --> 10:54.680 And each of your skins is more lovely than the last. 10:54.680 --> 10:58.680 Can I interest you in some coffee or a beverage? 10:58.680 --> 11:01.680 Thank you, Mr. Saranthus, but no coffee. 11:01.680 --> 11:06.680 You being a North American eSports enjoyer with ties to many a Valorant Pro, 11:06.680 --> 11:10.680 one would be safe in assuming you have some soy milk? 11:10.680 --> 11:11.680 I may. 11:11.680 --> 11:15.680 Then it is only right that I indulge in your soy. 11:24.680 --> 11:34.080 Mr. Sarantis, before we begin, I must admit my conventional English is a little out of 11:34.080 --> 11:35.080 practice. 11:35.080 --> 11:38.920 However, I've been led to believe that you speak Zuma quite well. 11:38.920 --> 11:39.920 I do. 11:39.920 --> 11:44.800 Well, I kindly ask your permission that I may conduct this interview in Zuma. 11:44.800 --> 11:45.800 By all means. 11:45.800 --> 11:46.800 Okay, Ankh. 11:46.800 --> 11:52.560 Obviously, you're washed, but am I relevant or irrelevant to you?

Let's just let the kid have some fun. 19:28.340 --> 19:33.340 Officer down, I repeat, officer down. 19:33.340 --> 19:42.220 He just said that simple is like an energy you have to just kind of direct as opposed 19:42.220 --> 19:43.740 to change. 19:43.740 --> 19:49.540 Zawu's obviously a comparison to a simple and you both coach Zawu. 19:49.540 --> 19:50.660 Is it the same? 19:50.660 --> 19:53.540 Is he more coachable? 19:53.540 --> 19:54.980 Can you change his energy? 19:54.980 --> 19:55.980 What's the go with Matthew? 19:55.980 --> 19:56.980 Who wants to go first? 19:56.980 --> 20:00.700 I mean, I can go first because I had him a little bit earlier. 20:00.700 --> 20:05.860 I think he has also developed a little bit since, but for me, 20:06.660 --> 20:12.820 Matou Saibou, in terms of how great he is, it's easy to coach. 20:12.820 --> 20:16.340 But then, but, but he is also extremely stubborn. 20:16.620 --> 20:18.380 Okay. And he has his opinions. 20:18.420 --> 20:19.620 It's tough to change it. 20:20.380 --> 20:26.100 Um, I, when I had him in, in, in 22, I got a bit frustrated with him 20:26.220 --> 20:28.500 because we were not doing that well. 20:28.860 --> 20:30.100 I mean, it was the first time. 20:30.100 --> 20:34.740 any of us tried an international roster and I will have to also say when I joined Vitality, 20:35.620 --> 20:40.420 this is probably one of the best decisions I've ever done as a coach. I was told before, 20:41.220 --> 20:47.060 do you want to keep the assistant coach Matt? And I said yes, because I wanted someone on the 20:47.060 --> 20:51.060 French side, because now we're going to be Danes in French. I needed to understand the culture, 20:51.060 --> 20:56.900 the way do they respond and I kept Matt. But going back to Saewoo in 22, 20:56.900 --> 21:04.900 I felt that he was the only one, obviously with Apex as well, who really put in the hours. 21:04.900 --> 21:10.900 Every time we lost, he was sitting in the practice room, playing. This is fine. 21:10.900 --> 21:15.900 But every time we lost, he was, it's fine guys, we're going to win the next time. 21:15.900 --> 21:19.900 And then I was complaining to, for example, a match against an entrepreneur saying, 21:19.900 --> 21:24.900 we have to play more. And they were like, yeah, you've been our coach for six years. 21:24.900 --> 21:28.500 We'll be playing fine, we don't have to do that. 21:28.500 --> 21:31.420 And I knew that as soon as Saewoo would go out and say, 21:31.420 --> 21:35.540 guys, come on, I'm wasting the best years of my career, step up. 21:35.540 --> 21:40.300 Then that would be challenging, like that would be challenging the other players 21:40.300 --> 21:43.340 and they would instantly listen to him. 21:43.340 --> 21:49.220 So I remember at the end of 22 we had a meeting where I told him that you're wasting your 21:49.220 --> 21:50.220 career. 21:50.220 --> 21:51.220 I need you to be harsher. 21:51.220 --> 22:04.820 be a little bit more like Sascha. I wanted him to have that if I asked him about the 22:04.820 --> 22:12.460 competition with him and Sascha. He was like, I don't care. I wanted that individual mindset 22:12.460 --> 22:17.180 of, hey, I'm going to beat this guy. I'm going to be the best player of all time. So I needed 22:17.180 --> 22:23.860 that, you know, he was a little bit, not lazy, but he just, he was just, he reminds me a 22:23.860 --> 22:28.300 bit about, I don't know if you follow soccer, but Ronaldinho in football, he was just enjoying 22:28.300 --> 22:31.820 the game, smiling all the time. If he lost, it's fine, it's fine, you're all good, we're 22:31.820 --> 22:39.140 gonna win next time. No, I wanted more passion from him. And so yes, I think he's easier 22:39.140 --> 22:43.820 than some of the other star players out there, but he don't underestimate his, he could be 22:43.820 --> 22:44.820 stubborn enough. 22:44.820 --> 22:45.320 Okay, all right. 22:47.180 --> 23:01.940 Oh, special day. We don't get many guests like you in this studio. Hank Hollywood, agent 23:01.940 --> 23:05.860 of the stars. It's good to see you. Good to see you. I see you've got a new studio as 23:05.860 --> 23:10.020 well. Loving what you've done with the place. Thank you. I was in the bathroom earlier and 23:10.020 --> 23:15.140 I noticed you had that iconic photo of Guardian and Semla together. Yes. The duo that never 23:15.140 --> 23:18.740 came together they never did and you know it might have been too strong i 23:18.740 --> 23:21.700 decided to put that in the bathroom because people were so excited about 23:21.700 --> 23:24.180 those two guys casting together just literally ship themselves so it just 23:24.180 --> 23:27.460 felt like a great place to get people in the mood now listen i'm a talent agent 23:27.460 --> 23:30.980 and when i wanted to sign those two guys i realized that these guys this is the 23:30.980 --> 23:33.620 the prospect of the future this is my golden goose 23:33.620 --> 23:37.780 sure as it were but yeah creative differences egos clashing never happened 23:37.780 --> 23:40.660 but man they would have set the bottom fire you've actually done a really good 23:40.660 --> 23:43.220 job getting involved in esports you've been part of some of the most well 23:43.220 --> 23:47.300 managed organizations over the past few years. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've kind of bring the 23:47.300 --> 23:51.700 kind of the Hollywood culture to eSports as it were. So I've been running the seed agency 23:51.700 --> 23:56.740 now for maybe two or three years. We started off with the influencer marketing and now we 23:56.740 --> 24:03.140 realize there's a bit of a gap in the market to maybe siphon some of that lovely money from eSports. 24:03.140 --> 24:06.980 So we're trying to do that. And yeah, we've been working with different organizations, 24:06.980 --> 24:11.540 different players, and so-called talent as well. Yeah, your philosophy is that great work at EG 24:11.540 --> 24:13.020 as well. Evil geniuses. 24:13.020 --> 24:14.860 I heard about your work over at Astralis as well. 24:14.860 --> 24:18.140 I've been there for three years now. I've been in their public relations. 24:18.140 --> 24:19.140 Kill them. 24:19.140 --> 24:22.380 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And of course the Falcons as well, just kind of managing their spendings 24:22.380 --> 24:26.180 and making sure they make the best possible decisions in all of their moves across eSports. 24:26.180 --> 24:27.700 They've had incredible players coming through there. 24:27.700 --> 24:28.700 They have. 24:28.700 --> 24:32.180 They have. It's been a great time. A lot of money involved there, Jason. A lot of cash 24:32.180 --> 24:33.180 available. 24:33.180 --> 24:36.540 And you're very, like, you're very holistic with your approach to the A-hole agency thing. 24:36.540 --> 24:40.060 Like you said, you do everything. You have PR, marketing, you sign the players, you do 24:40.060 --> 24:41.060 all the negotiating. 24:41.060 --> 24:43.380 It's an all-in-one solution, I like to say. 24:43.380 --> 24:46.340 I handle every aspect of the professional players, 24:46.340 --> 24:48.300 the organization, the talent, 24:48.300 --> 24:49.940 everyone involved in esports. 24:49.940 --> 24:52.220 They don't have to worry about anything. 24:52.220 --> 24:54.260 Have you got an age in yourself? 24:54.260 --> 24:57.420 I don't, you know, I've spoken to a couple over the years 24:57.420 --> 24:59.300 and I always just felt like I never found the one 24:59.300 --> 25:01.540 that I really connected with, you know? 25:01.540 --> 25:03.700 So I've mostly just kind of been going on my own, 25:03.700 --> 25:05.300 just kind of doing it by the seat of my pants 25:05.300 --> 25:06.740 and learning a few things along the way. 25:06.740 --> 25:07.900 That's where you've been going wrong. 25:07.900 --> 25:09.420 I can see you've done okay for yourself. 25:09.420 --> 25:13.740 all right but let me ask you this one thing yeah what's the most important thing in the world 25:15.020 --> 25:20.140 uh well i mean obviously this is things i got i've got a daughter back at home i've got a wife 25:20.140 --> 25:24.780 two dogs so my relationship with them uh spending time with them i'm gonna stop you right there that 25:24.780 --> 25:29.420 that's all wrong most important thing in the world is money and that's the kind of business i'm in 25:29.420 --> 25:35.340 and generating it money is an energy and it's always flowed very strongly in my direction so um 25:35.340 --> 25:39.180 maybe to give you a bit of insight i can show you one of the contracts i'm working on right now 25:39.180 --> 25:42.940 the kind of what we actually okay yeah I actually brought some like documents I 25:42.940 --> 25:46.940 thought I could show you like what we're all about um this is like our standard 25:46.940 --> 25:51.100 contracts for the industry this is what I offer my professional players and okay 25:51.100 --> 25:54.460 if you're interested I could probably bring you in some of the sort of deal 25:54.460 --> 25:57.660 let's check out a couple of you can see this is pages two pages that's all it 25:57.660 --> 26:01.180 needs if you do more than two pages you're fucking idiot is what I say so 26:01.180 --> 26:04.780 two pages of our philosophy at the esports talent management of 26:04.780 --> 26:10.460 Hollywood eSports. Hollywood eSports Talent Management LLC. Oh yes, we're a registered company. Yeah, yeah. 26:10.460 --> 26:14.860 Okay, so this is a five-year contract. Starting from five years. Like a long-term deal, we want to 26:14.860 --> 26:20.700 make sure that you're in here for the long haul duration. Yeah. Okay, and renews automatically 26:20.700 --> 26:25.340 every year. That seems pretty standard as well. Absolutely. Yeah. Okay, and unless you decide to 26:25.340 --> 26:30.300 cut me loose, which obviously wouldn't be happening. Why would I do that? So the players that you sign 26:30.300 --> 26:35.160 obligated to play Counter-Strike professionally for a minimum of 16 hours a day, time off 26:35.160 --> 26:37.240 is considered a breach of contract. 26:37.240 --> 26:41.040 Look, there's a lot of legal mumbo jumbo in there. 26:41.040 --> 26:42.040 Sure. 26:42.040 --> 26:43.040 Stuff that would probably go way over your head. 26:43.040 --> 26:47.840 But yes, I expect my players to turn up, grind and stream as soon as they finish their 26:47.840 --> 26:52.400 professional shift, they want to be online, generating clicks, generating views and making 26:52.400 --> 26:55.520 sure that this whole movement comes together. 26:55.520 --> 26:59.160 You can see with our payment structure, it's very different than the other agencies. 26:59.160 --> 27:03.780 I like I said, I handle all the finance adjacent. I'm there. They don't have to worry about a damn thing 27:03.780 --> 27:05.980 I will be there to handle their finances 27:05.980 --> 27:12.300 I take all of the money and I distribute it amongst the players amongst the organizations salary players received 25 27:12.300 --> 27:19.420 25% of total earnings from tournaments and sponsorships remaining 75% paid to Hollywood talent management for administrative 27:20.340 --> 27:26.780 Yeah, so as I stated a lot of legal stuff in here essentially we pull all the money together 27:26.780 --> 27:32.300 Okay, imagine a club where you could join and it's free money for everyone involved 27:32.300 --> 27:35.220 who the more people that join the more money we generate and 27:35.500 --> 27:37.020 That's what we're trying to do right now 27:37.020 --> 27:42.860 We've actually created a structure called Hollywood coin where sure you don't have to like I've got a document here actually 27:42.860 --> 27:45.660 So you have a look at that you can see 27:46.820 --> 27:49.580 At the top of the structure as myself that's Hank 27:50.060 --> 27:51.340 Hank Hollywood at this stage 27:51.340 --> 27:56.740 Then we have the influences the professional gamers and the e-sports talent everyone working together to generate as much 27:56.780 --> 28:02.500 as much money as possible to then put into the pool and essentially everyone gets rich. 28:02.500 --> 28:05.740 Can I just, just a, probably a minor red flag? 28:05.740 --> 28:06.740 Oh yeah, sure. 28:06.740 --> 28:11.060 Well, if you look at this diagram, I would say the shape of this is a... 28:11.060 --> 28:12.060 Right, it's a strong shape. 28:12.060 --> 28:13.060 Relative to the lid structure. 28:13.060 --> 28:17.820 Yeah, like this whole, you know, that concerns me. 28:17.820 --> 28:21.140 It looks relatively, dare I say, like a pyramid? 28:21.140 --> 28:23.180 I can see where you're coming from. 28:23.180 --> 28:24.180 It's not a pyramid. 28:24.180 --> 28:26.660 That's a triangle, famously one of the strongest shapes on the planet. 28:26.660 --> 28:27.660 Yeah, that's true. 28:27.660 --> 28:30.060 Structurally integral to the backbone of the industry. 28:30.060 --> 28:31.300 Near the grass Tyson told me that. 28:31.300 --> 28:32.740 Stronger shape of nature is the triangle. 28:32.740 --> 28:33.260 Exactly. 28:33.260 --> 28:34.260 That's what we're basing this on. 28:34.260 --> 28:36.660 That's the philosophy here at Hollywood Industries. 28:36.660 --> 28:39.060 We want to make sure that everyone gets a fair slice of the pie, 28:39.060 --> 28:41.060 especially the people near the top. 28:41.060 --> 28:44.060 The influencers are number one priority, professional gamers, 28:44.060 --> 28:46.860 then the eSports talent beneath that, and it's... 28:46.860 --> 28:49.460 Oh, sure. 28:49.460 --> 28:51.660 Hello. 28:51.660 --> 28:52.460 Hello. 28:52.460 --> 28:55.340 Hugo, how are you doing? 28:55.340 --> 29:01.180 Right?

Well, let me ask you one thing. 29:15.940 --> 29:20.580 Do you want to be rich and famous or do you want to have respect amongst your peers and colleagues? 29:22.500 --> 29:25.020 Hugo, there's only a few people in this world that have both. 29:25.340 --> 29:28.700 And let me tell you, my friend, you will never be one of them, except the fucking dollar 29:28.700 --> 29:31.220 and deal or expect to never work again. 29:31.220 --> 29:32.220 Yep. 29:32.220 --> 29:33.220 Okay. 29:33.220 --> 29:34.220 Goodbye. 29:34.220 --> 29:35.220 Sorry about that. 29:35.220 --> 29:37.220 I like how you handled it. 29:37.220 --> 29:38.220 I like how you handled that. 29:38.220 --> 29:40.940 I mean, some people just need to have a little stern talking to someone. 29:40.940 --> 29:44.020 Some people just need to be have reality spelled out to this guy. 29:44.020 --> 29:45.340 He thinks like he's hot shit. 29:45.340 --> 29:49.020 He's done a couple of big events and now all of a sudden he feels like he has to be working 29:49.020 --> 29:50.020 every month. 29:50.020 --> 29:51.520 Not really my problem. 29:51.520 --> 29:54.940 No, I got him there and got his foot in the door and he will do what he's told, like 29:54.940 --> 29:58.620 good little boy he is otherwise he's gonna be in a lot of trouble financially if you know what i'm 29:58.620 --> 30:02.620 saying i control the money i'm pulling the strings and if he wants to actually make it in this world 30:02.620 --> 30:07.100 he's gonna have to do what he says but he's happy you know he's doing well from the contract he's 30:07.100 --> 30:15.420 gotta be happy he's gonna be happy for five more years jason pro game experience 30:15.420 --> 30:30.100 And it's here in Georgia. I am Atlanta 2025 is here and we're having semifinals four teams 30:30.100 --> 30:35.260 left in contention. But when I look at this bracket, I see no vitality. Where's the best 30:35.260 --> 30:38.860 team in the world? Michael? Well, that's the thing. We start off our quarterfinals with 30:38.860 --> 30:44.500 a absolute headliner. I mean, Navi versus Vitality. That's a team that Navi have not 30:44.500 --> 30:50.260 been able to beat in coming up on three years. So for them, facing them in that quarterfinal, 30:50.260 --> 30:54.660 they had both the crowd on their side and a world class wonderful to boot. 30:54.660 --> 30:58.740 Yeah, and absolutely it makes sense what Blade said after the game, that it is, 30:58.740 --> 31:03.140 it doesn't matter what circumstances we beat Vitality in, we need to beat them. It's good for 31:03.140 --> 31:06.100 the confidence, it's good for the storyline and of the major. 31:06.100 --> 31:10.900 But they know that there's no cakewalk now that they're the favorites to win the tournament. I mean, 31:10.900 --> 31:15.780 I mean, in the other side of the quarterfinals, we had Gamer Legion that had a very powered up squad as a whole. 31:15.780 --> 31:18.100 Snack seems to be leading that team quite well. 31:18.100 --> 31:24.660 And they're on a collision course towards Legacy, the team that actually pushed Na'Vi into that quarterfinals game from the groups. 31:24.660 --> 31:37.060 And we have to highlight a couple of names here, because when I look at Gamer Legion, I see individual trio of Hypex, PR, and the rest all carrying really, really good numbers and, you know, kind of like stomping their way through this bracket. 31:37.060 --> 31:42.060 because it didn't start that well, determined for them, lost to Senors, and then lost to Navi overall. 31:42.060 --> 31:48.060 You know, it's really nice to see these resurgence in game religion, and I think they can push it really deep here in Atlanta. 31:48.060 --> 31:53.060 Yeah, I mean, there are no guarantees here in Atlanta just yet. This is Navi's tournament to lose, 31:53.060 --> 31:59.060 but they'll have to face a Betboom later on today. But before we start getting into all those games, 31:59.060 --> 32:04.060 let's hear what Yanko, Jason, and Chad have to say, because they love talking counter. 32:37.060 --> 32:40.060 C is going to take this fight for a three second flip. 32:40.060 --> 32:44.060 Last two rounds, our match is going to start as you all three are safe. 32:44.060 --> 32:46.060 And this is the last you've ever seen. 32:46.060 --> 32:49.060 And he's not content with just the Nexus kill. 32:49.060 --> 32:50.060 He's going to get back down. 32:50.060 --> 32:52.060 GD! 32:52.060 --> 32:53.060 And it's all done! 32:53.060 --> 32:55.060 I'm going to play! 32:55.060 --> 33:01.060 Unbelievable move, winning four in a row victory over Classic. 33:01.060 --> 33:04.060 And they didn't get in the blackout. 33:04.060 --> 33:32.380 The Intel Extreme Masters Atlanta 2026 is brought to you by ESL in partnership with Intel. 33:34.060 --> 33:47.060 Acer Predator, DHL, Chex, and Zoe. 33:53.060 --> 33:57.060 Alright, welcome back everybody to the Intel Extreme Masters. We're over here once again on the DreamHack floor. 33:57.060 --> 34:00.060 We're at the Intel booth. Plenty of counter strike going on. Everyone's here playing. 34:00.060 --> 34:04.440 Let's hear playing we've got a little bit of a situation here. This is me showing up for the BYOC event 34:04.960 --> 34:11.040 What are you here for? I'm not quite sure but I want to impress nice as much as you anchor and you really want to impress 34:11.040 --> 34:15.480 I'm trying to oversell my company to a venture capital firm. Okay, perfect. That's what we like to hear 34:16.000 --> 34:18.060 plenty of countersweep obviously the semifinals today 34:18.060 --> 34:23.060 But we wanted to talk a little bit because we were gonna talk about this before the vitality lost yesterday bit now that we have 34:23.660 --> 34:25.300 Established that vitality is in this era 34:25.300 --> 34:28.780 We wanted to touch on the fact that so many errors over the years have come and gone 34:28.780 --> 34:34.200 But very few of them have actually been beaten like no crown has been taken from anyone right most of these era teams the 34:34.540 --> 34:37.460 IP87 and L roster changes caused them to fade away 34:37.900 --> 34:40.180 Fanatic the Olafmeister injury they faded away 34:40.180 --> 34:45.220 No one took those crowns and I have same with the straw list as well with covert kind of break and see I thought we're gonna come in here 34:45.220 --> 34:48.500 Hard we're gonna do the hot taste and come in the vitality era. It's over 34:50.260 --> 34:54.660 No more vitality may cross the changes number you bang on right we've always had these dominant teams 34:54.660 --> 35:00.240 Well, not always. We've had a patch of dominant teams over the years and when eventually it all ends you sit there 35:00.360 --> 35:05.600 It's always in the post-mortem, right? Well, we're living in it. It's a bit hard to judge and see how things are going to unfold 35:05.600 --> 35:11.080 It's just from a day to day, you know, I've been facetious about the vitality side. I don't think this is the end of their reign 35:11.080 --> 35:14.300 I think they're gonna win more titles. They're still my favorite for the major don't worry about that 35:14.380 --> 35:19.160 But the fact that they have had a loss, right and it is to Navi and there is that confidence 35:19.160 --> 35:22.240 You have to start asking the questions. What does this mean for the future? 35:22.240 --> 35:27.440 And maybe we're living in what could be the changing of the tide. Maybe not, but it's always a tough one to gauge 35:27.440 --> 35:33.000 Well, I guess right now would be the time if anyone thinks that they like saw something or if anyone thinks the vitalities are gonna fade away 35:33.000 --> 35:35.360 Now's the time to say that you believe that this was some kind of 35:35.800 --> 35:41.320 Defining loss not to say that to you guys just anyone in the public if you truly think this loss has some detrimental effect 35:41.320 --> 35:44.880 Like now's the time to say you believe vitalities done. Yeah, I think it's more that 35:45.400 --> 35:51.000 The added confidence for Navi now we have Navi and Falcons as the two teams that were able to beat that 35:51.000 --> 35:55.840 Maybe Spirit, or Bat Boom, because they beat them. 35:55.840 --> 35:59.720 But that makes it more interesting in the major conversation, because next time they 35:59.720 --> 36:04.360 play Navi, we'll have the experience, alright, we've done it. 36:04.360 --> 36:07.240 We've beaten them in the quarters, we've beaten them in an important game. 36:07.240 --> 36:11.320 So we'll see, I think for some of those early teams, when you go back, that mental aspect 36:11.320 --> 36:17.120 really matters because NIP for all their dominance lost the first three or four major finals that 36:17.120 --> 36:18.120 they were in. 36:18.120 --> 36:20.760 only when they were actually at their weakest is a team where they managed to 36:20.760 --> 36:25.140 lift the one major and even no matter how dominant you are maintaining that 36:25.140 --> 36:29.760 mental edge is super important. So I guess that brings us to now talking about 36:29.760 --> 36:33.680 is there a way to do this? Is there a way to age out of an era gracefully without 36:33.680 --> 36:36.560 kind of hitting rock bottom? Like I said we wanted to talk about this before 36:36.560 --> 36:40.400 Vitality lost last night. This is a good plan. But now that they have lost, I guess the 36:40.400 --> 36:44.000 conversation is if it keeps going south, where do you take it so that you don't 36:44.000 --> 36:46.880 just descend into rock bottom? How do you make the switch? I think the thing is 36:46.880 --> 36:52.400 right there. Their only comparison in my mind is Australis. And Australis, if you take a look at 36:52.400 --> 36:57.280 the end of 2019, they won the last event. It was like a blast event, like global final. I don't 36:57.280 --> 37:03.200 know the naming back then. But then they go into 2020. It's the, well, I don't even remember what it 37:03.200 --> 37:07.040 was called back then for blast. But it was their studio event in London. They didn't win that one, 37:07.040 --> 37:12.400 right? And then they go into Katowice and they get eliminated by Na'vi with simple electronic 37:12.400 --> 37:16.160 that team and then the pandemic happens and we never know what was going to 37:16.160 --> 37:19.200 happen for Astralis in that point onwards. Online Counter Strike we all know 37:19.200 --> 37:21.800 the players don't want to get out of bed for it the fact that the world was 37:21.800 --> 37:26.200 thrown upside down and then Astralis slowly piece by piece disintegrated and 37:26.200 --> 37:29.960 that was the end right yeah we didn't really get them oh okay now they've 37:29.960 --> 37:33.800 been conquered now yeah it wasn't that type of an ending for them so with 37:33.800 --> 37:38.640 vitality unless the world decides to shut down again 37:38.640 --> 37:44.140 Everyone praying for Hunter virus to be a real thing, so we see vitality is downfall. 37:44.140 --> 37:47.340 But this is it, right? I kind of asked myself the question, 37:47.340 --> 37:52.140 if I was the management of vitality, who's already been very aggressive with their changes of players, 37:52.140 --> 37:54.940 obviously Flamety is one of them right there. 37:54.940 --> 38:04.340 At what point do you as an org see a downturn of results and then make the decision we're going to change? 38:04.340 --> 38:07.540 Because this is arguably the greatest Counter-Strike team of all time. 38:07.540 --> 38:14.820 But that's the question. You half activated my trap card, because do you think if 38:16.180 --> 38:22.420 Donk was on the team instead of Flimsy, they win as much or even more? Or do they win less? 38:23.220 --> 38:26.420 What a question, Hades. What a wild trap card you just brought out. 38:29.620 --> 38:33.620 Because the premise is, it's not just obviously they have skill, they have plenty of skill to go 38:33.620 --> 38:36.100 go around, but it's how they mash his personality, 38:36.100 --> 38:36.940 the players. 38:36.940 --> 38:39.820 Yeah, you can argue there's a better anchor out there 38:39.820 --> 38:42.140 than Messi, there's a more skilled, you know, 38:42.140 --> 38:44.460 entry aggressive rifleman than Flamesey, 38:44.460 --> 38:46.940 but how will they mash for the rest of the teams? 38:46.940 --> 38:48.460 They have the same type of personality, 38:48.460 --> 38:50.420 they have the selflessness that's needed, 38:50.420 --> 38:52.300 like the dynamic that they've been able to achieve 38:52.300 --> 38:55.900 in vitality is very unique, and it's very dangerous 38:55.900 --> 38:58.900 to try and mess with that, exactly. 38:58.900 --> 39:00.660 When Donks never had to play in that situation, 39:00.660 --> 39:03.180 where he's not the guy getting everything needed, right? 39:03.180 --> 39:06.920 he plays pretty hardcore of I'm the one going out first I'm the one with the 39:06.920 --> 39:10.140 resources so that would be an interesting person I guess my angle to 39:10.140 --> 39:13.660 your question would have been from like the reverse side which is how much time 39:13.660 --> 39:17.060 do you give a team to refine itself if you do see the downturn you know how 39:17.060 --> 39:22.020 much time has this team earned now yeah exactly and I think if it was me this 39:22.020 --> 39:25.820 is my opinion it's not even what I think that Vitality would do I just think 39:25.820 --> 39:30.060 that I would let this team write it out yeah and again we're not talking about 39:30.060 --> 39:31.700 about because of the result here. 39:31.700 --> 39:33.900 We're talking about results in the future. 39:33.900 --> 39:36.140 I don't expect them to disappear anytime soon. 39:36.140 --> 39:37.620 This event, we know they didn't practice. 39:37.620 --> 39:38.900 We know they're not in their best form. 39:38.900 --> 39:40.060 They didn't look themselves. 39:40.060 --> 39:41.180 Everybody knows that. 39:41.180 --> 39:42.340 And if people are not bringing that 39:42.340 --> 39:43.900 into the elite's qualifiers 39:43.900 --> 39:46.460 for how they're passing this event, 39:46.460 --> 39:48.020 then I don't think they're doing themselves 39:48.020 --> 39:49.500 or the counter-tracks basically service. 39:49.500 --> 39:52.500 But at one point, they won't be winning everything. 39:52.500 --> 39:54.140 And then when that happens, 39:54.140 --> 39:56.500 I think let the team run its course 39:56.500 --> 39:58.660 until someone goes, now I'm out, right? 39:58.660 --> 39:59.500 Let it run its course. 39:59.500 --> 40:00.340 Let us see what happens. 40:00.340 --> 40:01.980 They've earned themselves the good graces. 40:01.980 --> 40:05.020 Or someone on another team pops off to a degree 40:05.020 --> 40:08.300 where you're like, we have to look at this guy. 40:08.300 --> 40:10.020 Like this is a player we have to look at. 40:10.020 --> 40:12.460 Close off, has huge impact in a specific role? 40:12.460 --> 40:14.380 Maybe someone is having a downturn of vitality. 40:14.380 --> 40:16.940 You say, well, this guy might be worth the conversation 40:16.940 --> 40:19.060 or the glance of what's possible to bring him in. 40:19.060 --> 40:21.060 So I mean, there's that angle to it as well. 40:21.060 --> 40:22.380 Or do you try and keep it running, right? 40:22.380 --> 40:23.580 Because we know that they've now started 40:23.580 --> 40:25.100 this academy team. 40:25.100 --> 40:27.220 So do you wanna try and take players from there? 40:27.220 --> 40:28.340 Do you wanna, like you're saying, 40:28.340 --> 40:31.900 You want to grab someone else's on the market and then at what point you made that choice, right? 40:31.900 --> 40:36.540 We're living in a land right now with this conversation where there's so many variables and choices that you could make but 40:36.700 --> 40:40.260 Vitality because we've seen them be aggressive before with roster changes 40:40.260 --> 40:42.940 It wouldn't surprise me if the management does the same thing 40:42.940 --> 40:48.660 But how long of a period of time is a bad period of time in modern counter strike six months a year two years 40:48.660 --> 40:51.180 I guess it'd be a major cycle right which is about five six months 40:51.180 --> 40:55.260 I guess now because the VRS if you're starting to fall out of contention you have to make changes 40:55.260 --> 40:59.300 the results would have to be worse than what they were the second half of last year, because 40:59.300 --> 41:03.940 they were still making top fours, so you would have to sort of start not making the playoffs. 41:03.940 --> 41:07.300 Or start losing to some teams you're not really supposed to be losing, right? 41:07.300 --> 41:11.020 It would have to be a significant fall-off, which first of all at the moment you have 41:11.020 --> 41:15.460 a hard time seeing happening, even if they don't win everything anymore. 41:15.460 --> 41:21.060 So yeah, I think it's still going to be a while away solely based off the fact that there's 41:21.060 --> 41:24.740 not really outside of Apex anyone obvious to replace to make the team younger, which 41:24.740 --> 41:29.460 is what they did with the free change and then there's no one who's unhappy on the team like it 41:29.460 --> 41:35.860 was with Spinks that you needed to make that change was almost forced on you so yeah I think 41:35.860 --> 41:40.100 they'll be writing it out for a while yeah I think so too I mean this has been the most I mean I 41:40.100 --> 41:43.540 don't know if I've ever seen a team win as much as they have in the past year and a half even the 41:43.540 --> 41:48.100 Astralis team didn't win this much you know like the amount of trophies that Vitality's wrapped up 41:48.100 --> 41:54.180 is just crazy it all gets tough out there right with this conversation because the Counter Strike 41:54.180 --> 41:59.780 world and has a short memory. It's one of you on for us lately, right? And okay, they 41:59.780 --> 42:03.060 lose their top four streak in this event, right? There were 21 consecutive there. I 42:03.060 --> 42:08.100 hate them for 22 if they won that series yesterday. The concerns I had about yesterday's game, 42:08.100 --> 42:12.740 I can just wash away. But in the context of the match, you could see that they weren't 42:12.740 --> 42:16.980 as ahead of the players they normally are, right? Like their rotations were a little 42:16.980 --> 42:20.740 bit slow, although a gamble sacking incorrectly. And they, they, you could, it didn't like the 42:20.740 --> 42:23.740 You've been able to tell for two weeks they haven't been practicing. 42:23.740 --> 42:24.740 You didn't even see it. 42:24.740 --> 42:28.740 That's why I think it was also a really smart veto from Navi at the very end 42:28.740 --> 42:32.740 because it came down to Mirage Inferno, right as the final map. 42:32.740 --> 42:34.740 Navi had the last ban. 42:34.740 --> 42:37.740 And you know, historically Navi Mirage is their playground. 42:37.740 --> 42:43.740 It's the worst map statistically for Vitality this year, but they went with Inferno. 42:43.740 --> 42:46.740 Vitality hasn't played it since Rio, they only played it once. 42:46.740 --> 42:48.740 We haven't played it at all in the US. 42:48.740 --> 42:53.740 You have no practice, you want to lose for Apex, you want to lose the field a little bit for... 42:53.740 --> 42:55.740 How does this map work in the college? 42:55.740 --> 43:00.740 They were just a little bit behind it in some of these rounds and now it took full advantage. 43:00.740 --> 43:04.740 Okay, well let's take that perspective too because that's obviously a rough win for Vitality, 43:04.740 --> 43:06.740 but not going to be too much of a dent in themselves. 43:06.740 --> 43:08.740 But I think for Navi, this is a massive win. 43:08.740 --> 43:11.740 For guys who are giving interviews saying Vitality's not our biggest competition, 43:11.740 --> 43:14.740 we are, ourselves are our biggest opponent that we have inside the server. 43:14.740 --> 43:18.860 This is a huge mental hurdle get over first win in what like two years against this team 43:18.860 --> 43:23.380 And only one like one map in the last year and a half like it was a crazy one-sided rivalry 43:23.380 --> 43:28.340 So for now be just going into the major. This is massive, right? It opens the conversation 43:28.340 --> 43:32.140 I think brought a yank obviously talking about the Falcons earlier in the year 43:32.500 --> 43:36.300 We're gonna have to I think they will need to train 43:37.580 --> 43:39.580 I've tried to see that fury 43:39.580 --> 43:43.700 Yeah, but that's the only match of theirs I've seen at the event so far right the time zones 43:43.700 --> 43:45.900 I haven't been friendly to us. They're in the grand final tomorrow 43:45.980 --> 43:51.740 But I think my point being the contenders it used to be vitality here and then again and then everyone else now 43:51.740 --> 43:52.860 I think it's vitality here 43:52.860 --> 43:58.020 And there's like three teams that I'm hoping that we can have a conversation about now the falcons and spirit and 43:58.460 --> 44:00.920 The mental edge for Navi by winning that match 44:01.380 --> 44:08.060 They understand if people read the blade interview they understand that they weren't practicing they know that but it's the fact that they can prove to 44:08.060 --> 44:12.140 themselves, we can do it. And even when they were practicing, now we were slowly getting 44:12.140 --> 44:16.300 closer and closer. And they were the only team who were saying the entire time, we want 44:16.300 --> 44:20.300 to play Vitality, right? Like we want that test, we want that challenge. If you win a 44:20.300 --> 44:25.140 tournament in Vitality's in there, it doesn't matter, right? So like they had a very good 44:25.140 --> 44:29.420 mindset about it. And like you mentioned, like regardless of the state, it's a huge event 44:29.420 --> 44:34.420 for them, huge confidence boost. And yeah, maybe it does something really significant 44:34.420 --> 44:35.820 for them going into the mage. 44:35.820 --> 44:37.940 What if they lose to Betboom today? 44:37.940 --> 44:40.140 If Navi loses to Betboom, it's all the positive 44:40.140 --> 44:41.300 they just can't go away. 44:41.300 --> 44:42.860 Boom, it's just a green reaper, 44:42.860 --> 44:44.860 and I take everyone down. 44:44.860 --> 44:46.380 If you're Navi and you're right in the side, 44:46.380 --> 44:47.500 finally beating Vitality, 44:47.500 --> 44:49.580 and then you just get trucked by Betboom today. 44:49.580 --> 44:50.780 It's a very mouse move. 44:52.060 --> 44:53.180 It's very mouse kind of thing. 44:53.180 --> 44:54.820 I don't know, I don't know how you recover 44:54.820 --> 44:56.540 in the post-game time for the team. 44:56.540 --> 44:59.340 Here's the thing, the reason why Navi was able 44:59.340 --> 45:01.780 to beat Vitality was their guys stepping up, 45:01.780 --> 45:04.060 like, wonderful, I don't know how he was in series. 45:04.060 --> 45:09.380 And being more consistent because to be the best like your ceiling is determined by the players your players need to do well 45:09.380 --> 45:15.540 Macaasic has been having a great year wonderful being more consistent and then you have this usually as a third guy 45:15.540 --> 45:21.020 You know finding impact being the veteran presence, but also those players are known to be inconsistent 45:21.020 --> 45:26.280 So if all of a sudden now because you're riding that high of the vitality of interest like mouse did in Cologne last year 45:26.940 --> 45:31.100 And you fall into that trap and you start having a bad game and it pops up like there 45:31.100 --> 45:36.300 definitely is a possibility for them to lose. Yeah, I think that's gonna be a 45:36.300 --> 45:40.540 very fun game to be honest with you. I hope Naby continues it. If we switch to the 45:40.540 --> 45:45.380 other side of the bracket, Gamer Legion taking on Legacy now. It's a brawl. 45:45.380 --> 45:48.860 You know watching the Gamer Legion game yesterday gets pain. Both those teams were 45:48.860 --> 45:51.820 so content to just like play default Counter-Strike and just play everything 45:51.820 --> 45:55.180 stand. There wasn't a whole lot of like, there were some aggressive plays but not a 45:55.180 --> 45:57.980 whole lot of like Chaos and a whole lot of teams try to do something creative or 45:57.980 --> 46:01.420 change the map. It was just default standard counter strike. Legacy doesn't play that. 46:01.420 --> 46:05.100 Yeah, I will change that today. I'm just not going to get to sit back and just play standard 46:05.100 --> 46:08.300 counter strike. So how they handle that is going to be everything in today's game. 46:08.300 --> 46:11.420 I think it's fun though for some of the individuals like your PRs and your resists. 46:11.420 --> 46:15.020 Highbacks have been very clutched. You get to play heads up counter strike in that fashion. 46:15.020 --> 46:21.420 Should be good fun. So look, I think on paper that series has more excitement than the second one. 46:21.420 --> 46:25.580 The name value is in the Navi game, but the expectation is also in the Navi game, right? 46:25.580 --> 46:31.580 So look, I'm hoping that we get a three map up and I'm hoping that the counter strike isn't as odd 46:31.580 --> 46:39.260 I want to I know we're pivoting back for a second but that vitality Navi game the first two maps the pace of that was so strange 46:39.980 --> 46:43.760 Did you feel that it wasn't mega entertaining? No, but it was very 46:44.340 --> 46:50.100 Tactical and it was gritty and it wasn't sexy but most importantly for Navi 46:50.100 --> 46:53.900 They were able to get it done right and I even said this on the desk 46:53.900 --> 47:00.220 It's like I know it wasn't mega fun to watch but actually winning in that manner for Navi is even better 47:00.380 --> 47:05.180 That is you know, it was some highlight moments. I don't know. They just outplayed them 47:05.740 --> 47:12.540 But my my with it with the legacy game the game is gamey talking about my thought process changes from okay 47:12.540 --> 47:16.860 Whatever happens at this event, you know, that's the easy side of the bracket one of them will make the grand final one of them 47:16.860 --> 47:21.580 Will play in the third place decided that's gonna happen no matter what it's does this prime those teams 47:21.580 --> 47:26.300 For us to consider once we get to the major which is only two weeks away that they become 47:27.100 --> 47:30.920 Conversation for a stage three team but playoffs seems out of the breach 47:30.920 --> 47:36.000 But do they become a top 16 team of the major now game legionary in stage one if you look at the field 47:36.180 --> 47:40.940 They have to be a top three team in stage one if looking at the field stage two 47:40.940 --> 47:42.900 That's where legacy is spirits there as well 47:42.900 --> 47:47.780 Right you need eight names to make it into stage three of the major has that has their performance here 47:48.100 --> 47:50.860 Elevated them enough to put them in stage three contention 47:51.580 --> 47:56.580 For me it has from the eye test because they've been real solid right and most importantly yesterday 47:56.580 --> 48:02.900 They were able to win a game on the stage, which is where they struggled even though usually they meet better teams than pain 48:02.900 --> 48:07.180 The snacks effect they met falcons a bunch that yeah, it doesn't hurt man 48:07.180 --> 48:14.460 Like the veteran presence let us it's the same thing getting art in who's a veteran player did it before for a long time with fear like it helps 48:14.460 --> 48:17.880 Probably some of these younger players just leading them guiding them 48:17.880 --> 48:24.320 Even Kyosuke is talking about Carrington and like what it means, you know, so like you never underestimate the impact an IGL can have 48:24.320 --> 48:29.160 And I think that was big for them to sort of unlock some of the individuals a little bit on game religion 48:29.160 --> 48:33.760 And that's why having two more games here no matter what it's huge for them going into the major 48:33.760 --> 48:39.200 And I think the legacy performing well also because they hit that slump like after kind of the run in Austin and some good events towards 48:39.200 --> 48:42.400 The end of last year like they've been very quiet. They're very momentum based that team 48:42.400 --> 48:45.400 Yeah, it's the silent counter strike they play right always pushing in your face 48:45.400 --> 48:50.140 Tom looks like they play two T side sometimes. So yeah, it is gonna feel momentum base, but when they get it 48:50.140 --> 48:52.260 Damn, it looks fun. It looks good. That's the thing, right? 48:52.260 --> 48:56.820 I mean what teams are playing out of the box or like off-matter. I think it's probably the better brand for it is 48:57.580 --> 49:02.560 It's fun, but it's not consistent. So you kind of have to wait out where it's not via gone the route up 49:02.560 --> 49:06.200 Let's make sure we're consistent and then we can have fun. Yeah, and they're getting to have fun now 49:06.200 --> 49:08.260 So it's quite a contrast, you know yesterday 49:08.260 --> 49:12.300 We were talking about how there's these two tournaments on at the same time and having to measure it 49:12.300 --> 49:14.540 then how do we read it and what does it mean? 49:14.540 --> 49:17.100 But it's just good to see teams getting in these reps 49:17.100 --> 49:18.580 before the major to kind of just, 49:18.580 --> 49:20.380 even just for an individual perspective, 49:20.380 --> 49:22.180 to see who's looking good, who's looking sharp, 49:22.180 --> 49:23.400 because I don't imagine that's gonna change 49:23.400 --> 49:24.500 too much in two weeks. 49:24.500 --> 49:25.940 No, but it's like, it's like, 49:25.940 --> 49:27.260 it's like, it's your exact question of like, 49:27.260 --> 49:29.300 are these guys, did we ought to open up the conversation 49:29.300 --> 49:30.460 about them being a stage three team? 49:30.460 --> 49:32.740 Well, we've opened up a conversation on two teams 49:32.740 --> 49:34.100 who weren't talking about a month ago, you know? 49:34.100 --> 49:35.780 So like, there's the first step for them. 49:35.780 --> 49:37.220 And how many times do we go to a major 49:37.220 --> 49:40.480 and see a team, team play themselves through the stages 49:40.480 --> 49:41.820 and get better as they go, right? 49:41.820 --> 49:48.300 So that's the kind of potential you're hoping for and for those momentum off meta counter strike teams if they catch the momentum in the right event 49:48.300 --> 49:52.040 They're really scary for that one event. Yeah might not be consistent event to event 49:52.040 --> 49:55.660 But if you catch that fire in that one isolated week two weeks in play 49:55.980 --> 49:59.420 Like you can do some real damage in that tournament. The one about is the most of the major 49:59.420 --> 50:02.820 I don't think everybody knows that so it's about peaking at the right time 50:02.820 --> 50:05.060 It's a perfect time to start that peak for these teams too 50:05.060 --> 50:11.520 Yeah, and we're still trying to navigate this whole VRS situation the way that the TO's are planning the events and the run up and 50:11.820 --> 50:14.820 I think at the moment, obviously we've seen Vitality with a good balance. 50:14.820 --> 50:16.820 The only one you'd say is a question mark is this one, 50:16.820 --> 50:18.820 but we all know why they signed up for it, right? 50:18.820 --> 50:20.820 In case you didn't win the grand slam. 50:20.820 --> 50:22.820 Yeah, that was a vacation. 50:22.820 --> 50:27.820 No, I'm sure that they, I'm sure that them having a loss here is a great little kick in the pants 50:27.820 --> 50:30.820 to be like, that's that horrible feeling that we haven't had in a long time. 50:30.820 --> 50:33.820 You know, let's make sure that that doesn't happen to the major. 50:33.820 --> 50:36.820 I mean, that's obviously never a goal, but I guess if it's going to happen, 50:36.820 --> 50:40.820 this isn't the worst thing in the world for Vitality to just have that bucket of water splash on their face. 50:40.820 --> 50:44.260 saying into the lead into Austin last year they were like yeah it'd be good to 50:44.260 --> 50:48.820 get a loss right yeah and I think it was Dallas was it that I think it's also you 50:48.820 --> 50:52.620 know they wouldn't have taken the major for granted if they won the trophy here 50:52.620 --> 50:56.660 but in the back of your head you know it's just gonna creep in it's like what 50:56.660 --> 51:00.620 will it take for us to lose like we're showing up to tournaments with no 51:00.620 --> 51:05.840 practice rusty you know and still swelling to a trophy and beating the 51:05.840 --> 51:09.380 second team in the world on the way to it so I think it's good just to not get 51:09.380 --> 51:15.140 too complacent right like just realized all right you can't just expect on its own we're going to 51:15.140 --> 51:18.900 keep winning no matter what well they gotta wake up call yesterday against knobby knobby taking 51:18.900 --> 51:23.540 on bet boom in the semi-finals legacy taking on game religion our first semi-final of the day 51:23.540 --> 51:39.220 we're out of here pre-match start now and we'll see you in the games 51:39.380 --> 51:49.540 Hey man, hey welcome to the seven finals. You get a taste of audience yesterday. Are 51:49.540 --> 51:52.500 you surprised how many people are here? They're actually cheering for you? 51:52.500 --> 51:56.620 Honestly, yes. There was much more people than I thought and I also think they were 51:56.620 --> 51:59.620 louder than I thought as well, so it's really nice to see. 51:59.620 --> 52:06.620 There's something in the water for you here in N.A. The MVP of IMO Clan 1985. How's the 52:06.620 --> 52:10.620 Snacks actually mentioned yesterday that you were a little bit sick under the weather. Is the game better? 52:10.620 --> 52:16.620 I mean, yeah, maybe a little bit. I think we all were sick at some point this event, so I think it's just been spreading to every player. 52:16.620 --> 52:26.620 And I'm the last one now, I think. But yeah, I feel like I'm going to get a little bit better. I'm not 100%, but I will, I for sure give 100% of the 10% I have, you know. 52:26.620 --> 52:31.620 Another Brazilian team on the menu. What is the vibe ahead of this game? 52:31.620 --> 52:36.260 of this game, because it was messy yesterday, you can, I think, admit it, and do you expect 52:36.260 --> 52:40.300 somewhat of a close brawl today as well against, against Brazilians? 52:40.300 --> 52:45.500 Yeah, I think, like I say, it's a, I mean, it's a team that is difficult to play on stages, 52:45.500 --> 52:49.740 I think, because they're making all these, like, smoke plays and, like, risky plays and, 52:49.740 --> 52:52.740 like, they're taking time, you say, everywhere, and, like, they're playing with the sound, 52:52.740 --> 52:57.580 and I think that's going to be the hard part today, and we just need to be aware of, like, 52:57.580 --> 53:00.900 every possibility on the map, and I think that's the way we're going to be done. 53:00.900 --> 53:03.820 The way you're talking about the game I can see you're locked in already, I love it, and 53:03.820 --> 53:04.820 good luck, see you on the serving. 54:00.900 --> 54:02.900 We gotta get some! 54:02.900 --> 54:04.900 We are back! 54:09.900 --> 54:13.900 Are you tired of overpriced, underwhelming, un-American produce? 54:13.900 --> 54:15.900 Why shop abroad for household items? 54:15.900 --> 54:18.900 When at NRG, we've got them right here at home. 54:18.900 --> 54:24.900 You can buy our second-hand washing machine or this discounted Prime Nafla. 54:24.900 --> 54:26.900 No grand slam price tag on this one. 54:26.900 --> 54:28.900 In your grandma, she won't even notice the difference. 54:28.900 --> 54:35.340 Who needs liquid nitro when we've got this freshly washed alternative for a fraction of the price and this is smooth 54:38.100 --> 54:45.660 Pick control of your organization purchase our budget twist and win a chance at court side tickets for you two of your friends 54:46.340 --> 54:48.340 How about this multi-purpose? 54:48.500 --> 54:51.780 Jks buy one and get a free blazing appliance 54:53.580 --> 54:55.580 For no extra cost 54:55.580 --> 55:00.580 Why invest in another op-frodge when we've got Coosta at home? 55:00.580 --> 55:01.580 Dude, really? 55:01.580 --> 55:02.580 Coosta? 55:02.580 --> 55:06.580 Oh, Coosta mentioned 2025, that's my boy! 55:06.580 --> 55:10.580 So, come on down to NRG, for Team Liquid. 55:10.580 --> 55:11.580 Bump for your home. 55:11.580 --> 55:13.580 Binding 4 items will give you free copy of Counter-Strike at home. 55:13.580 --> 55:14.580 Off available for unlimited time only. 55:14.580 --> 55:16.580 These title and application processing fee not included. 55:16.580 --> 55:18.580 It choking is experienced, please consult your nearest eSports agent. 55:18.580 --> 55:21.580 Energy is not affiliated with Team Liquid and orcs of subsidiaries and vice versa. 55:21.580 --> 55:23.580 The likeness and the sabotage when it's trade by paid efforts. 55:23.580 --> 55:26.380 Taxes in applicable North American diabetes are the responsibility of the person. 55:53.580 --> 55:58.540 Cloud Nine and Liquid featuring American Maid, Canadian Supplemented Iron. 55:58.540 --> 56:04.780 Resilient Counter Strike was already in full swing and Scream found himself playing alongside the French. 56:06.120 --> 56:10.940 It was the dawn, the early embers of the looming Astralis Era, 56:10.940 --> 56:16.740 that in the small manufacturing town of Oakland, a new miracle was about to take shape. 56:16.740 --> 56:23.740 NIP signed newcomer Reds in the hopes that he could take the disgraced Nip Squad to new heights. 56:23.740 --> 56:30.740 The only title that once a lustrous squad could still defend was in Oakland, the final bastion of a bygone age. 56:30.740 --> 56:34.740 Expectations were low, but morale could not have been higher. 56:34.740 --> 56:41.740 The old kings of forest get right and exist had a point to prove, but not even they could have expected what happened next. 56:41.740 --> 56:47.420 Redbrick Sterner came into the event with bookies baffled as to the young Swedes' inclusions. 56:47.420 --> 56:52.060 Groud looked on, unprepared to put their fate in someone so unproven, 56:52.060 --> 56:55.580 unknowing and uncertain. These were the times. 56:56.300 --> 57:00.460 He exploded into the event, turning heads every step of the way. 57:00.460 --> 57:06.060 It might have been the swinging 60s, but all anyone was talking about was the new hot up-and-comer. 57:06.060 --> 57:11.260 An MVP performance like no other, finishing as the top-rated player in the event who made 57:11.260 --> 57:17.660 the playoffs. No one could keep up with him as Karrigan, Niko, Brain, and Guardian alongside 57:17.660 --> 57:23.820 Olaf Meister would learn in the Grand Finals. Boris felt inspired by these performances and so 57:23.820 --> 57:29.900 in the final put forward his best performance yet. The ragtag team of Rez and Forrest evoking 57:29.900 --> 57:35.340 memories of better, brighter times in NIP's past. In what was described as the greatest 57:35.340 --> 57:41.100 best of five final of all time, NIP battled back against FaZe Clan in the grand finals. 57:41.260 --> 57:46.500 a lesson they would surely remember, an experience they would never want to repeat. 57:46.500 --> 57:50.660 Rez ended the event giving an IP their last ever trophy win, 57:50.660 --> 57:56.660 a true visionary, a true believer, and a new golden age for Swedish Counter-Strike. 57:56.660 --> 58:14.660 Hey Lato, what's up? You're having a lot of laughs here. What's happening with the team right now? 58:14.660 --> 58:19.660 Bro, I think we are in good shape in this tournament. Everybody is playing so well. 58:19.660 --> 58:28.660 And yeah, I think we do some damage here and let's go if we can do in the Grand Finals as well, in the same finals, sorry. 58:28.660 --> 58:35.660 I mean, this is wild contrast to you compared to I am real, right? What's been happening this past two weeks? This was like a completely different team. 58:35.660 --> 58:46.660 Yeah, I think we do some changes inside the team. We changed our coach and our analyst and we changed our mindset as well. 58:46.660 --> 58:53.660 And I think it's the most difference between the teams. 58:53.660 --> 58:59.660 And also, your win against Navi, who took down Vitality, obviously yesterday, there was a big talking point. 58:59.660 --> 59:03.660 I want to ask you, this feels like you are the next big threat to put them down. 59:03.660 --> 59:08.660 Do you feel the same? What does this do to your mindset? You just mentioned it, so I'm curious. 59:08.660 --> 59:23.660 Bro, I don't know. I think we only go step by step. We don't think about the teams and we only want to show our game and show we are growing up in the game. 59:23.660 --> 59:28.660 And I think that's it. It's step by step for us and let's see if we can do it. 59:28.660 --> 59:37.660 Gamer Legion, we're actually taking down your Brazilian fellows yesterday. Pain. Is it time for revenge? For pain as well? 59:37.660 --> 59:45.300 as well? Of course, we need to revenge our friends from Ben and let's go. 59:45.300 --> 59:47.260 Yeah, vamos, see you on the server. 59:49.260 --> 59:51.740 Legacy, take that fast pass to the playoffs. 59:51.740 --> 59:54.580 And today they get to make their Atlanta Sage debut. 59:54.580 --> 59:58.860 We welcome you to the arena for the Intel Extreme Masters Atlanta 2026 by we, 59:58.860 --> 01:00:01.740 I mean myself first beers, Yumi and YNK. 01:00:01.740 --> 01:00:03.700 Yumi, we had a great time yesterday. 01:00:03.700 --> 01:00:05.260 The crowd was certainly showing up. 01:00:05.260 --> 01:00:06.900 I'm so excited to get stuck in today. 01:00:06.900 --> 01:00:10.700 One thing I know about Atlanta is that they cheer for good counter-strike. 01:00:10.700 --> 01:00:14.500 You can win them over so long as you win the game as well. 01:00:14.500 --> 01:00:18.700 It doesn't matter what part of the world you're from, they can rally behind you. 01:00:19.500 --> 01:00:24.500 Also, talking about that, the good games that are happening, 01:00:24.500 --> 01:00:27.900 I'll say for a game agent, they've had a great tournament so far, right? 01:00:27.900 --> 01:00:28.700 Like they've stepped up. 01:00:28.700 --> 01:00:31.900 I think winning a game in the playoffs with the crowd is super important 01:00:31.900 --> 01:00:33.100 with the young players that they have. 01:00:33.100 --> 01:00:36.100 They struggled to do that last year when they would make the playoffs 01:00:36.100 --> 01:00:39.940 at some of these events and yeah legacy absolutely there's a reason why they're 01:00:39.940 --> 01:00:45.100 straight in the semi-final taking down Navi in a 2-1 affair and we'll be 01:00:45.100 --> 01:00:48.780 looking to sort of go even deeper here in Atlanta. Yeah before we kind of recap the 01:00:48.780 --> 01:00:52.300 brief history of legacy I think we should take a look at their results so far at 01:00:52.300 --> 01:00:54.820 this tournament because I think you're totally right Yanko that was a very 01:00:54.820 --> 01:00:58.060 impressive showing versus Navi either way they were guaranteed to make it into 01:00:58.060 --> 01:01:01.540 the arena but that's no small team to be taken down even in that situation. Yeah 01:01:01.540 --> 01:01:05.540 also considering the context right the loser of that game was going to go and 01:01:05.540 --> 01:01:09.700 play vitality. So you really didn't want to lose that series. It's not like maybe some 01:01:09.700 --> 01:01:15.540 of these other seeding games where, you know, there's not as much on the line. So yeah, 01:01:15.540 --> 01:01:18.420 I think they've done a great job here in Atlanta so far. 01:01:18.420 --> 01:01:21.620 Yeah, but they've had some struggles, right? They've definitely had to go through the 01:01:21.620 --> 01:01:25.860 ringer and put themselves through the paces because adding art is not something that was 01:01:25.860 --> 01:01:29.900 super easy for them. You know, they started off with Krakow at the start of the year and 01:01:29.900 --> 01:01:34.340 they didn't do great there. And that just immediately after that, they kick him and 01:01:34.340 --> 01:01:56.820 they move in with our and pearly and it made top eight. And so that's like kind of a very promising start. They have to continue building. But from event to event, it felt like they were limit testing what the capabilities of the roster were going to be. And as you could see, the things get things out of a little turbulent with them. But they saw the downtrend starting with that that Lux in game leading swap over to art. It has recovered the roster. 01:01:56.820 --> 01:02:01.940 When we talk about, I guess, the lackluster results of legacy so far, you're totally right. 01:02:01.940 --> 01:02:02.940 You made that switch up. 01:02:02.940 --> 01:02:06.540 It's always going to be tricky when you're bringing in a new IGL, but Rio as well. 01:02:06.540 --> 01:02:10.900 That was why I'm so surprised to see this other side of legacy, because, I mean, Brazilian 01:02:10.900 --> 01:02:15.900 teams on Brazilian home soil, it just never seems to go well, but theirs was exceptionally 01:02:15.900 --> 01:02:16.900 bad. 01:02:16.900 --> 01:02:18.380 Listen, Fran, there's too many distractions. 01:02:18.380 --> 01:02:19.940 I'll tell you that. 01:02:19.940 --> 01:02:24.900 As someone who coached Brazilians on a Brazilian team in Brazil, there's so much going on 01:02:24.900 --> 01:02:26.420 when these guys go back there. 01:02:26.420 --> 01:02:31.140 spent so much time abroad so all your families are there all the media is there you do a hundred 01:02:31.140 --> 01:02:36.260 interviews every day right like there's it's very difficult to just focus on the counter 01:02:36.260 --> 01:02:40.580 striking then also we heard from Lotto a little bit you know they didn't have the best mindset 01:02:40.580 --> 01:02:45.300 that makes a changes to the coaching staff and I mean it's been a resounding success from that point 01:02:45.300 --> 01:02:50.980 on yeah no I mean there's been a lot of compliments I think we can offer up to legacy in terms of how 01:02:50.980 --> 01:02:56.260 they've adapted their game plan there was a time where it was very pain-eskin a way when they had 01:02:56.260 --> 01:03:01.180 Lux, who served on that roster before. It felt like he was walking in his footsteps, 01:03:01.180 --> 01:03:05.140 but now there's tactical versatility, there's pace changes. You still have hard getting 01:03:05.140 --> 01:03:09.180 up to his shenanigans, but they're actually more calculated than I think they ever were 01:03:09.180 --> 01:03:13.420 before. Can you give me an example of something that you've seen that has been most impressive 01:03:13.420 --> 01:03:17.060 to you about this switch up? Because I think we used to tell Art as maybe a little bit 01:03:17.060 --> 01:03:21.060 overactive, you know, over those to be getting into. Crazy, you can say it. He was crazy. 01:03:21.060 --> 01:03:24.900 I think I can just say it like that. And I feel like he's tempered himself a little 01:03:24.900 --> 01:03:28.660 that where is this kind of works out in legacy? I mean, the maturity, I think, started from 01:03:28.660 --> 01:03:33.780 flux. So he's working with younger pieces in some respects, but then he moves into a legacy 01:03:33.780 --> 01:03:38.660 that actually had once some events moving out of last year. So for him, a lot of that success in 01:03:38.660 --> 01:03:43.140 terms of his individual impact has been on that CT side where he can still be quite aggressive. 01:03:43.140 --> 01:03:48.100 He's still trying to set up his teammates, but he's become less self-sacrificial than I think he 01:03:48.100 --> 01:03:53.860 once was once upon a time on that T side where, yeah, you would see him just running through 01:03:53.860 --> 01:03:58.660 smokes and sending it down mid with an SMG and hoping that their his team could 01:03:58.660 --> 01:04:02.880 sort of bring him out of a bad situation. I think he just got humbled with this 01:04:02.880 --> 01:04:06.340 time in fluxo right like he went from playing with K Serato and Eurion being 01:04:06.340 --> 01:04:09.300 on the best Brazilian team and always playing these tier one tournaments to 01:04:09.300 --> 01:04:14.340 failing to qualify for them you know and having to play Brazil lands or online 01:04:14.340 --> 01:04:17.820 counter strike right it's not as fun so getting this opportunity in legacy which 01:04:17.820 --> 01:04:22.220 also by the way came out of nowhere I mean it was a shocking move in a way and 01:04:22.220 --> 01:04:25.660 especially a shocking addition, right? I think he understands like this is a 01:04:25.660 --> 01:04:29.620 massive opportunity for him and you need to be able to change some things, change 01:04:29.620 --> 01:04:32.420 your philosophy a little bit. Of course he's always going to be an aggressive 01:04:32.420 --> 01:04:35.820 player, but you don't have to be crazy. You can just be an aggressive player. 01:04:35.820 --> 01:04:39.740 You don't have to live and die by the sword because you're 24-7, right? I don't know whether we can bring that graphic up 01:04:39.740 --> 01:04:43.500 once more because it was an interesting numbers between CT side art versus T side art. 01:04:43.500 --> 01:04:46.780 What are you reading into with those? Yeah, I think that's where you know it's 01:04:46.780 --> 01:04:50.260 going to be more difficult obviously on the T side, right? Like you sometimes 01:04:50.260 --> 01:04:54.460 going into the unknown your goal is only to create space for yourself to get 01:04:54.460 --> 01:04:58.780 traded for your team to be able to get into the bomb site and then city side it 01:04:58.780 --> 01:05:01.860 can be a little bit different you can catch opponents of guard you get some 01:05:01.860 --> 01:05:06.460 more support and we've seen in some of the games some of these new games that 01:05:06.460 --> 01:05:09.780 they've played on city side like they don't give their opponents any space 01:05:09.780 --> 01:05:13.740 like what you're not gonna get to secret even if you try to we're gonna get 01:05:13.740 --> 01:05:17.420 lobby in exchange right and then you you can never sort of go through your 01:05:17.420 --> 01:05:22.140 motions on the T side when you go up against legacy because their whole plan is just to 01:05:22.140 --> 01:05:23.300 disrupt you the entire time. 01:05:23.300 --> 01:05:28.300 I think from the CT numbers though, let's temper our own expectations. 01:05:28.300 --> 01:05:31.540 The type of impact he's had so far in this tournament has been substantial. 01:05:31.540 --> 01:05:32.540 He's getting a lot of success. 01:05:32.540 --> 01:05:38.260 80% in that CT side opening gunfights is not something that is sustainable, surely. 01:05:38.260 --> 01:05:42.460 He's got other pieces on this roster that have been able to step up to that plate before, 01:05:42.460 --> 01:05:46.220 and I believe that's where most of the heavy hitters should be coming into action. 01:05:46.220 --> 01:05:50.060 If Archand finds those crazy impacts, then power to him, I guess. 01:05:50.060 --> 01:05:55.260 He's done it again somehow, for the first he had Keisaratu and Nuri, now he has Dumao and Lato. 01:05:55.260 --> 01:06:00.700 You know, I'm flying the flag for these boys, but it's going to be five years now, so hopefully they can start, you know, 01:06:02.300 --> 01:06:06.060 achieving their potential in a way, because you know, there's only so much you can talk about. 01:06:06.060 --> 01:06:07.260 That's a few things, get some medals to them. 01:06:07.260 --> 01:06:08.220 Potential, right? 01:06:08.220 --> 01:06:08.720 Right. 01:06:08.720 --> 01:06:15.500 Maybe this is the way, but we'll see, you know, I think it's always been, can't ever build the right roster. 01:06:15.500 --> 01:06:20.620 It's always all one or two pieces are sort of falling a little bit behind or you're struggling to find the proper 01:06:20.620 --> 01:06:24.740 IGL and and all of this that's probably held them back a little bit 01:06:24.740 --> 01:06:28.300 So you're really hoping like the this roster they can unlock that 01:06:28.940 --> 01:06:34.300 Potential and then and make some deeper on it does feel like the South American region is slowly like a lot of these moves 01:06:34.300 --> 01:06:36.980 You would have anticipated to happen to maybe three years ago 01:06:36.980 --> 01:06:41.540 But it feels like there's this been this exodus of players that actually are sort of 01:06:41.540 --> 01:06:46.540 that's a good thing. I mean, 01:06:46.540 --> 01:06:47.540 it's building big teams within 01:06:47.540 --> 01:06:49.540 the South American region right 01:06:49.540 --> 01:06:51.540 now, whether that's a nine Z a 01:06:51.540 --> 01:06:53.540 legacy, a pain. I feel like 01:06:53.540 --> 01:06:55.540 they've gotten high prospects 01:06:55.540 --> 01:06:57.540 acquisitions that should make 01:06:57.540 --> 01:06:58.540 these teams better. Speaking of 01:06:58.540 --> 01:07:13.900 Art, welcome to the semi-finals. I want to ask you what is happening with legacy? Because 01:07:13.900 --> 01:07:20.220 from struggling earlier in the season, you are on a pretty decent run. Eight match, win streak, 01:07:20.220 --> 01:07:25.740 what's happening? Bro, you just fixed the group, fixed your playing for each other, 01:07:25.740 --> 01:07:31.260 and also the individuals are shining a lot, the chemistry is good, so we have been a good run. 01:07:31.260 --> 01:07:35.740 What about the coach though? Because you promoted your assistant coach, right? Like three weeks ago. 01:07:36.700 --> 01:07:40.780 I want to ask if he is playing a certain role in this kind of like 01:07:40.780 --> 01:07:43.180 uptick of performance that you're having so far? 01:07:43.180 --> 01:07:48.300 Yeah, they are definitely helpless, he's been with the team for I think five years with the guys, 01:07:48.300 --> 01:07:54.460 so he's he knows the way we like to play as well, the way I like to call, so he helps me a lot. 01:07:54.460 --> 01:08:00.460 You had a luxury of a day off. What were you doing? Were you watching the games? 01:08:00.460 --> 01:08:05.460 Because obviously there was this Vitality Navi game and everything. I wanted to ask if it's your advantage. 01:08:05.460 --> 01:08:07.460 Because you're playing in this game region, they already play quarter-finals. 01:08:07.460 --> 01:08:12.460 Sometimes it's good for them to have this momentum coming into the semifinals. 01:08:12.460 --> 01:08:14.460 Do you think this is advantage as well? 01:08:14.460 --> 01:08:20.460 A little bit. It's a trade-off. We could not focus on threatening because we want to watch the games. 01:08:20.460 --> 01:08:25.960 So the football game was insane and also the title game was very crazy, so we lost some time there watching the games. 01:08:25.960 --> 01:08:31.460 But after that we just prepped and I think that's a trade-off. They warm up a lot more and we prepped a lot more. 01:08:31.460 --> 01:08:35.960 This is the beauty of Intercontinental CS, right? You have to watch every single tournament. 01:08:35.960 --> 01:08:42.960 There is not even the one you're playing, but I have to say, in this matchup, I feel like this is true 50-50, kind of like a coin flip game. 01:08:42.960 --> 01:08:48.460 It's so close. If you would have to make fans cheer for you in the arena today, what would you say to them? 01:08:48.460 --> 01:08:55.660 them why would they cheer for you? They like CS, they like the way you play, they want you for us, 01:08:55.660 --> 01:08:58.940 otherwise you go for a game of legion, hopefully for us because we love to have the crowd on our 01:08:58.940 --> 01:09:04.380 side so hopefully we can get some good clutches so we can, you know, get the crowd up, yeah, yeah. 01:09:04.380 --> 01:09:06.780 All right. Thank you and good luck and see you in the semifinals. 01:09:09.500 --> 01:09:12.860 I think I'll have to figure that out, that's certainly the key to winning the fans' hearts here 01:09:12.860 --> 01:09:17.660 in Atlanta. I do just want to touch upon the fact that as Nico obviously said, no official match 01:09:17.660 --> 01:09:22.460 yesterday, just from your experience and perspective, Janko, how would you typically spend that day? 01:09:22.460 --> 01:09:26.220 Like, are you watching your potential opponent play live? Is that something you go back and review 01:09:26.220 --> 01:09:28.380 in a demo? Like, what's the most efficient way to do that? 01:09:28.380 --> 01:09:33.260 I think it depends very rat as a team. If you feel like you need more practice on some apps, 01:09:33.260 --> 01:09:37.420 you probably try to get some scrims in there. You're not going to have a complete day off. 01:09:37.420 --> 01:09:41.180 There's no point in doing that. You don't want to lose the edge that you have and then the momentum 01:09:41.180 --> 01:09:46.380 that you had, right? So, whether you end up watching the game live, you know, or you just go 01:09:46.380 --> 01:09:50.480 go back and rewatch it and do your prep like you do for any other game that depends. 01:09:50.480 --> 01:09:54.560 It allows you, if you want to throw some curveball in the Vito, you have that extra game, let's 01:09:54.560 --> 01:09:58.600 say one of your weaker maps is also a really weak map for them, and you can get two, three 01:09:58.600 --> 01:10:03.640 scrims in, add a couple of things for your opponent and maybe surprise them in the Vito. 01:10:03.640 --> 01:10:08.200 Yeah, I mean, the best case scenario is you're saving yourself a night of prep when you get 01:10:08.200 --> 01:10:11.040 that extra day off, because you don't know who you're going to be facing in the next 01:10:11.040 --> 01:10:12.520 round anyway, I'd imagine, right? 01:10:12.520 --> 01:10:17.200 So, yeah, I mean, I think everybody understands that there are, this is a fairly open tournament 01:10:17.200 --> 01:10:18.200 as well. 01:10:18.200 --> 01:10:22.440 So, especially with Vitality out of the equation, everybody should be working extra hard to 01:10:22.440 --> 01:10:27.720 get the extra bragging rights of attending a tournament with Vitality at it and still 01:10:27.720 --> 01:10:28.720 being able to take the trophy. 01:10:28.720 --> 01:10:32.400 Particularly when you look at that game, Legion vs. Pain series yesterday, full three map 01:10:32.400 --> 01:10:36.240 affair with Pain actually started off by taking Game Religion's map pick. 01:10:36.240 --> 01:10:38.840 Just some initial takeaways from reviewing that game. 01:10:38.840 --> 01:10:40.400 What are we looking at for Game Religion in that? 01:10:40.400 --> 01:10:45.360 a real live game. I think that was the difference on that first map, you know, 01:10:45.360 --> 01:10:49.880 putting like his first stage game with an ace. What more could you wish for? 01:10:49.880 --> 01:10:54.120 But I think the quality from game religion shown through in the end. And I 01:10:54.120 --> 01:10:58.320 think it's even more impressive for them the fact that they came back in the 01:10:58.320 --> 01:11:02.080 series and were able to close it out. Like I was really impressed with them 01:11:02.080 --> 01:11:06.680 this tournament because the ITES, you know, seeing how they play very good on 01:11:06.680 --> 01:11:10.920 the T side, they have different ways to attack you, sometimes with set rounds and 01:11:10.920 --> 01:11:15.200 faster pace, sometimes even with defaults and just playing slower and they 01:11:15.200 --> 01:11:20.240 just make less mistakes than they used to, less self-inflicted injuries and 01:11:20.240 --> 01:11:23.840 that's been the reason, the main reason why they made it all the way to the 01:11:23.840 --> 01:11:26.960 semi-final here. And they've got an AWPer. I mean, game religion for the longest 01:11:26.960 --> 01:11:30.800 amount of time had struggles finding an AWPer that worked with them and worked 01:11:30.800 --> 01:11:34.440 with the system and this high-packs that we're getting coming into the playoffs, 01:11:34.440 --> 01:11:41.000 loss this guy I mean I might be the best opera in the tournament if maybe not for also incredible 01:11:41.000 --> 01:11:46.760 wonderful on the other side of the bracket and this guy called I will but dead now he's 01:11:46.760 --> 01:11:52.320 gone he's gone in terms of a high back to what we've seen from him so far and see as 01:11:52.320 --> 01:11:55.720 you me said some beautiful cultures coming out and really important moments would you 01:11:55.720 --> 01:12:00.400 compare him to any kind of all those gone by and yes you have a particular signature 01:12:00.400 --> 01:12:02.840 to start at the moment or is he still figuring that out? 01:12:02.840 --> 01:12:04.200 Yeah, I don't know. 01:12:04.200 --> 01:12:06.000 I think a lot of these new uppers, 01:12:06.000 --> 01:12:07.720 like they're just very versatile, you know, 01:12:07.720 --> 01:12:08.680 because you have to be. 01:12:08.680 --> 01:12:09.960 In order to be good, you have to be, 01:12:09.960 --> 01:12:13.320 you have to be able to have impact 01:12:13.320 --> 01:12:15.120 by being aggressive, finding opening, 01:12:15.120 --> 01:12:18.120 just understanding where the opportunities are, 01:12:18.120 --> 01:12:19.680 where the advantages are in the round. 01:12:19.680 --> 01:12:21.360 You have to be great at positioning. 01:12:21.360 --> 01:12:23.720 And also sometimes, actually most of the times 01:12:23.720 --> 01:12:25.940 you have to be calculated and not get carried away 01:12:25.940 --> 01:12:27.640 and be overly aggressive, 01:12:27.640 --> 01:12:30.120 which is something we see with a lot of these uppers, 01:12:30.120 --> 01:12:34.320 But the young AWPers are sometimes repeating too much, like you already gained an advantage 01:12:34.320 --> 01:12:38.240 for your team, you can just chill and let the round develop, but they keep going for 01:12:38.240 --> 01:12:39.240 more. 01:12:39.240 --> 01:12:42.600 So I think I've fallen into that category, as you're even seeing from this reel, you 01:12:42.600 --> 01:12:46.800 see some of the aggressive moves that you also will see sometimes in just sitting-ticket 01:12:46.800 --> 01:12:47.800 with the AWP, right? 01:12:47.800 --> 01:12:51.480 Like, because that's what you have to do, and in order to be a great AWPer in today's 01:12:51.480 --> 01:12:54.520 game, you need to be able to do it all really in a way. 01:12:54.520 --> 01:12:58.360 Especially when everybody thought that the AWP was just not as strong as it once was 01:12:58.360 --> 01:13:02.920 outside of the top four AWPers we had in the circuit, everybody was struggling. So it's not 01:13:02.920 --> 01:13:07.240 just being about being versatile. They also have to be capable on rifles and be able to read the 01:13:07.240 --> 01:13:11.000 game and play pasty in some of these clutch moments that HyperX actually delivered. 01:13:11.000 --> 01:13:15.480 A small part of it is the AnimGraph update. I mean, we talked to Malbz the other day on the 01:13:15.480 --> 01:13:19.320 podcast and he said something interesting, which is like, it's not so much as you can predict and 01:13:19.320 --> 01:13:23.720 see how people are moving. It's like you can better predict where they'll stop, where the model 01:13:23.720 --> 01:13:27.480 will stop. So like for AWPers, like, you know, and you're just holding an angle where someone is 01:13:27.480 --> 01:13:32.840 going to swing at you like it helps a lot having that and you know sometimes it's also just a mental 01:13:32.840 --> 01:13:36.360 game you know just placebo and you're like oh yeah this is going to make it so much easier for me 01:13:36.360 --> 01:13:40.680 to play the game and then you just do it just magically happens um in terms of high-packs and 01:13:40.680 --> 01:13:45.320 his kind of tenure on our game of legion as well only a second stage in the game of legion jersey 01:13:45.320 --> 01:13:49.320 as well and he was laughing up the crowd he was making him hype for some of his glitches as well so 01:13:49.320 --> 01:13:53.880 i'm so excited to see what he delivers today i just love how much energy the game of legion players 01:13:53.880 --> 01:13:58.680 in general do seem to absorb. Sure, there's some conduit players like Hypex or, you know, 01:13:58.680 --> 01:14:03.080 we even saw Reds sort of basking in the moment, I think, when they came out on stage the first 01:14:03.080 --> 01:14:07.080 time, because they understand they need to be able to win a tournament. It's not something 01:14:07.080 --> 01:14:11.480 that Gamelit should have actually been ever really been able to properly threaten because 01:14:11.480 --> 01:14:17.000 of some of the other teams at the event. And with the more recent rise from 2025 into 2026, 01:14:17.000 --> 01:14:23.560 everybody's living in the shadow of mouths, falcons, and obviously vitality. So this is, 01:14:23.560 --> 01:14:28.200 I mean, a really good opportunity for those guys to not only build that extra confidence, 01:14:28.200 --> 01:14:31.240 but show that they have a winning formula in moving into that major. 01:14:31.240 --> 01:14:35.560 I think it's important, like, the mix that they have now of experience and youth, right? 01:14:35.560 --> 01:14:38.840 Something, something, it's the big peach and sex is hungry. 01:14:38.840 --> 01:14:42.120 Like, he's back on a 2-1 team and, you know, like, he is... 01:14:42.120 --> 01:14:46.600 feels like there seems like the perfect fit for this lineup, because he has a calming presence. 01:14:46.600 --> 01:14:50.440 He's obviously a veteran player, he's won it all in his career. 01:14:50.440 --> 01:14:56.360 and when you look back to last year and when Game of Legion did fall apart at times or especially in the playoffs against these better teams 01:14:56.360 --> 01:15:03.720 Like there's just too much an inexperience. It was only res right and then everyone else is sort of young and and then doesn't have the 01:15:03.840 --> 01:15:09.780 Same level of experience so getting snacks in there, especially as the IGL because he gets to control everything in a way 01:15:09.780 --> 01:15:12.620 Right like he's the one who's gonna tell you in the middle. Hey, I want you to do that 01:15:12.620 --> 01:15:14.620 And then the player doesn't need to 01:15:14.620 --> 01:15:19.140 worry about always coming up with a play on his own and making decisions all the 01:15:19.140 --> 01:15:22.360 time on his own like sometimes you get guided a little bit by your captain and 01:15:22.360 --> 01:15:26.860 that can really help alleviate some of the stress and you can play with more 01:15:26.860 --> 01:15:32.620 freedom. Yeah I guess the problem we've had is that as we've started to pick up 01:15:32.620 --> 01:15:35.740 more and more young players because it was a while in Counter-Strike Global 01:15:35.740 --> 01:15:39.420 Offensive where that just didn't happen we wanted to recycle older players 01:15:39.420 --> 01:15:42.820 because they didn't want to have them crumble on stage and as we've adopted 01:15:42.820 --> 01:15:48.320 new, uh, new rookies. Some of them have been exceptional, but others, yeah, they need time 01:15:48.320 --> 01:15:55.080 to build into those tournament wins. And yeah, it feels like right now I would agree. Snacks 01:15:55.080 --> 01:15:59.940 is able to stabilize the ship of what had been a very turbulent time for, for game 01:15:59.940 --> 01:16:00.940 legionnel, all those rookies. 01:16:00.940 --> 01:16:04.340 And they've had to battle through some, uh, I guess, lower tier events in the process 01:16:04.340 --> 01:16:07.980 as well, which is why it's such a relief to see them finally managing to make a big stage 01:16:07.980 --> 01:16:11.340 and take down some of those big names in terms of the other individuals that are helping 01:16:11.340 --> 01:16:16.140 out though. Have to give it to Pierre and Talzin as well for showing up incredibly consistently here. 01:16:16.140 --> 01:16:20.380 Yeah, I think Talzin especially because it was sort of at the midpoint of last year where 01:16:21.180 --> 01:16:25.660 some small role changes happened and he just took over. Like he sort of became the 01:16:25.660 --> 01:16:29.420 highest rated rifle, the best rifleman on the team when they were struggling through some 01:16:29.420 --> 01:16:35.020 different periods and PR. Yeah, I mean ever since he came on to the tier one scene came over from 01:16:35.020 --> 01:16:40.620 the mouse academy roster, like, he has been incredible for them as a player, 01:16:40.620 --> 01:16:44.220 a bit disappointed in the transfer period, perhaps giving in to the... 01:16:44.220 --> 01:16:47.820 I thought maybe something would happen, but I guess I'm sticking around. 01:16:47.820 --> 01:16:51.340 But obviously with the addition of snacks and them playing their Counter-Strike, 01:16:51.340 --> 01:16:54.860 you know, as a team, it allows for himself to shine a little bit. 01:16:54.860 --> 01:16:58.140 It's also just a positive influence when you're thinking about those CT sides, 01:16:58.140 --> 01:17:01.580 there are anchors on separate bomb sites, and both of them have usually been able to find a 01:17:01.580 --> 01:17:06.300 a lot of success across their map pools so it's I think reinforced the capabilities of players 01:17:06.300 --> 01:17:11.500 like snacks to be a little bit more tricky and get some advantages or fighting for aggressive 01:17:11.500 --> 01:17:16.060 mid-controls a lot of the times on these maps as well. I'm just thinking about that you know 01:17:16.060 --> 01:17:20.140 graphic with you know splinter and the ninja turtles but I don't know what res is in that 01:17:20.140 --> 01:17:24.140 like if if snacks is splinter what is res for you. There can't be two. I was gonna say the older 01:17:24.140 --> 01:17:28.460 one but no snacks are old. Yeah they're old bruh. Well let's cook on that once we hear from PR 01:17:28.460 --> 01:17:30.460 Oh, that's your sticker. 01:17:30.460 --> 01:17:32.460 Save. 01:17:32.460 --> 01:17:34.460 PR is here with me, ahead of this semi-final. 01:17:34.460 --> 01:17:36.460 I have a question, because this is another tournament, 01:17:36.460 --> 01:17:38.460 another deep run for game religion, 01:17:38.460 --> 01:17:41.460 and you are at just 18 years old, 01:17:41.460 --> 01:17:43.460 gathering all these valuable experiences. 01:17:43.460 --> 01:17:45.460 Can you talk us a little bit through the emotions, 01:17:45.460 --> 01:17:47.460 what you're feeling, a little bit nervousness, 01:17:47.460 --> 01:17:49.460 maybe a little bit of jitters? 01:17:49.460 --> 01:17:52.460 I mean, I would say the nervousness 01:17:52.460 --> 01:17:55.460 got better, like it's getting better. 01:17:55.460 --> 01:17:57.460 Like, especially on the stage, I can feel it, 01:17:57.460 --> 01:18:05.580 the difference last year and if I have to compare it with now, it's way better and I'm 01:18:05.580 --> 01:18:11.220 just happy that I can feel the experience this young and it's going to help me. 01:18:11.220 --> 01:18:15.020 I mean I don't remember what I was doing when I was 18, I was probably playing some CS but 01:18:15.020 --> 01:18:16.900 not at the level that you are obviously. 01:18:16.900 --> 01:18:22.340 Legacy should be a little bit of a way more dangerous than pain, at least on the paper. 01:18:22.340 --> 01:18:24.620 When did you do prep against them? 01:18:24.620 --> 01:18:28.300 Is there something that there's some strong side? 01:18:28.300 --> 01:18:32.180 Rez mentioned actually in the Vibecheck before that there are smoke pushes playing this annoying 01:18:32.180 --> 01:18:33.180 kind of CS. 01:18:33.180 --> 01:18:34.680 Do you feel this that way as well? 01:18:34.680 --> 01:18:35.680 Are you ready for it? 01:18:35.680 --> 01:18:36.680 I'm ready. 01:18:36.680 --> 01:18:40.940 I was watching yesterday and we can smell a little bit the Brazil Vibe. 01:18:40.940 --> 01:18:46.460 I love Brazil but they have a kind of specific playstyle so we saw it. 01:18:46.460 --> 01:18:54.580 I think Paine is the only team that are playing different than Brazil Vibe. 01:18:54.580 --> 01:18:55.580 on Team South. 01:18:55.580 --> 01:18:59.420 Alright, the tournament itself, it didn't start that well, obviously you lost the map 01:18:59.420 --> 01:19:03.940 in Senors, which was your opening map, then you lost to Navi, but in lower bracket you 01:19:03.940 --> 01:19:08.020 were pretty much stomping everyone besides that overpass game where Piriah had like a 01:19:08.020 --> 01:19:12.060 life game against you guys yesterday, so how are you growing into this? 01:19:12.060 --> 01:19:16.100 Is this something that you feel stronger and stronger with every game that you play? 01:19:16.100 --> 01:19:18.620 Uh, I was not, sorry. 01:19:18.620 --> 01:19:22.460 Well, like the overall start of the tournament was pretty slow, but now you're like growing 01:19:22.460 --> 01:19:24.660 into it and you're just stomping everyone? 01:19:24.660 --> 01:19:32.660 I mean, me individually, I have always like a hard start on events. 01:19:32.660 --> 01:19:33.660 I noticed that actually. 01:19:33.660 --> 01:19:40.540 Yeah, I'm trying to figure out why, why is that, but yeah, after the first map usually 01:19:40.540 --> 01:19:47.340 I get into the zone and I feel way better, so game by game I feel more comfortable and 01:19:47.340 --> 01:19:48.660 it's better, yeah. 01:19:48.660 --> 01:19:49.660 Any words to the crowd? 01:19:49.660 --> 01:19:50.660 I think they're on your side actually. 01:19:50.660 --> 01:19:52.160 Is this Snaks effect? 01:19:52.160 --> 01:19:54.880 I think it's a snack's effect and it's insane. 01:19:54.880 --> 01:19:56.560 Thank you guys for sharing for us. 01:19:56.560 --> 01:19:58.160 Thank you and good luck seeing the semifinals. 01:19:58.160 --> 01:19:59.000 Great work, Sampia. 01:19:59.000 --> 01:20:01.040 As always, we did get to see the map. 01:20:01.040 --> 01:20:03.640 Puto flying on in at Ancient, Mirage, Inferno, 01:20:03.640 --> 01:20:06.080 if we do so require it, makes sense, Janko? 01:20:06.080 --> 01:20:08.360 Yeah, for the most part, I think game religion, 01:20:08.360 --> 01:20:11.800 it was between Overpass and Ancient in that case, 01:20:11.800 --> 01:20:14.000 but their Ancient has been really strong at this tournament. 01:20:14.000 --> 01:20:17.120 Obviously, the 13-1 win over Navi happened. 01:20:17.120 --> 01:20:19.120 And for legacy, like if you look at the stats, 01:20:19.120 --> 01:20:20.200 it doesn't look too bad, 01:20:20.200 --> 01:20:26.640 But all the wins are against Brazilian teams and mostly at their regional lands and they're lost to any European team that they played. 01:20:26.640 --> 01:20:30.800 So I think they just see that as an opportunity to play more towards their strength, 01:20:30.800 --> 01:20:34.080 game religion than try and go and punish, especially how overpass went yesterday. 01:20:34.080 --> 01:20:38.840 Unfortunately for Legacy, their best international results map is Dust 2. 01:20:38.840 --> 01:20:44.720 I mean, if they haven't actually allowed teams to get more than 10 rounds on that map when they've been able to play it. 01:20:44.720 --> 01:20:48.960 for, you know, it just feels like a bad matchup, unfortunately, against Gamer Legion, just because 01:20:48.960 --> 01:20:52.640 I'm Gamer Legion's perma-band, so it's a tough veto, I think, for them. 01:20:52.640 --> 01:20:55.360 Obviously, you get to see Gamer Legion, well, they have to start on the T side, 01:20:55.360 --> 01:20:58.320 eventually, but that didn't seem to be a problem for them. They actually chose to do that versus 01:20:58.320 --> 01:21:02.720 Navi. Yeah, absolutely. They've been really strong on the map, coming out with a lot of pace at some 01:21:02.720 --> 01:21:08.640 of these maps. It works in their favor, so I don't think they'll have any problems with starting 01:21:08.640 --> 01:21:13.920 T side, eventually. Yeah, I love the explosiveness. I love the firepower that they often bring 01:21:13.920 --> 01:21:18.260 forward on these types of maps, and there's a lot of open opportunity for playmaking on 01:21:18.260 --> 01:21:26.140 ancient. I've been able to catch the flair of someone like PR or Dumau on this map before. 01:21:26.140 --> 01:21:30.340 It's going to be a brawl though. I'm expecting these guys to try and go band for band. 01:21:30.340 --> 01:21:34.100 Well, we've got game legion and legacy ready to take to the stage. So there's only one 01:21:34.100 --> 01:21:37.660 Let's do it. It's time to officially open a semi-final Saturday 01:21:56.780 --> 01:21:59.600 Hello Georgia, how are we doing this evening? 01:22:04.100 --> 01:22:06.740 Oh, we've got some great counter strike for everybody today. 01:22:06.740 --> 01:22:09.020 This crowd definitely knows greatness. 01:22:09.020 --> 01:22:13.060 And while North America might not be in the server, 01:22:13.060 --> 01:22:15.420 we are definitely in this crowd. 01:22:15.420 --> 01:22:16.780 This place is loud. 01:22:16.780 --> 01:22:18.380 And you guys are doing an awesome job. 01:22:18.380 --> 01:22:19.540 Give yourselves a high five. 01:22:19.540 --> 01:22:24.980 All right, so here's the nitty-gritty. 01:22:24.980 --> 01:22:28.060 Yesterday, we got rid of Apex and Vitality. 01:22:28.060 --> 01:22:29.460 Can I get a hell of you out here? 01:22:29.460 --> 01:22:37.740 Well, if the players in the server feel the pressure, you are most definitely doing it 01:22:37.740 --> 01:22:38.740 right Atlanta. 01:22:38.740 --> 01:22:39.740 Who gets from the northeast? 01:22:39.740 --> 01:22:40.740 That was alright. 01:22:40.740 --> 01:22:41.740 It's kind of mid. 01:22:41.740 --> 01:22:42.740 Northwest. 01:22:42.740 --> 01:22:43.740 Anybody from the Pacific Northwest? 01:22:43.740 --> 01:22:44.740 And the Southwest? 01:22:44.740 --> 01:22:45.740 What about the Southeast? 01:22:45.740 --> 01:22:46.740 Yeah. 01:22:46.740 --> 01:22:47.740 Yeah. 01:22:47.740 --> 01:22:48.740 Yeah. 01:22:48.740 --> 01:22:49.740 Yeah. 01:22:49.740 --> 01:22:50.740 Yeah. 01:22:50.740 --> 01:22:51.740 Yeah. 01:22:51.740 --> 01:22:52.740 Yeah. 01:22:52.740 --> 01:22:53.740 Yeah. 01:22:53.740 --> 01:22:54.740 Yeah. 01:22:54.740 --> 01:22:56.740 What about the Southeast? 01:22:59.080 --> 01:23:05.740 That's what I'm talking about right there ladies and gentlemen boys and girls it's semi-final day. Let's go live 01:23:54.740 --> 01:24:04.740 Atlanta, Georgia! Welcome to this stage! Your semi-finalists, Gamer Legion! 01:24:04.740 --> 01:24:23.740 I think legacy, they're a solid team. Of course, they're really strong hitters. They're very good individually. They shoot really hard. 01:24:23.740 --> 01:24:29.740 Maybe they don't have as much experience as other teams here, but still they should never underestimate a team like that. 01:24:29.740 --> 01:24:33.740 They can destroy you from nowhere, like you would have expected. 01:24:34.740 --> 01:24:41.740 They are particularly different teams as in the way they play. They have very good and different strats. 01:24:41.740 --> 01:24:47.740 I see them bring random things, like gimmicks. That's the thing that takes them apart from other teams 01:24:47.740 --> 01:24:53.740 and maybe that's the reason they're the playoffs. So they're a good team, but they have a lot of resources. 01:25:04.740 --> 01:25:06.740 There's no time for it, it has to be elimination! 01:25:06.740 --> 01:25:07.740 Oh! 01:25:08.740 --> 01:25:09.740 That's incredible! 01:25:09.740 --> 01:25:13.740 We are playing really, really good Counter-Strike, and that's when we can beat teams. 01:25:14.740 --> 01:25:17.740 Stand goes down, perfectly played, perfectly played! 01:25:17.740 --> 01:25:18.740 Try it. 01:25:18.740 --> 01:25:19.740 Come on, about two! 01:25:19.740 --> 01:25:20.740 We do mouse, pull it! 01:25:20.740 --> 01:25:21.740 Son of a gun! 01:25:21.740 --> 01:25:22.740 Wow! 01:25:22.740 --> 01:25:23.740 Do you know how it is? 01:25:23.740 --> 01:25:25.740 Time is light, he's one, no kick! 01:25:25.740 --> 01:25:26.740 Do you know how it is? 01:25:26.740 --> 01:25:27.740 He's touched! 01:25:27.740 --> 01:25:29.740 I'm going to pick him up on the ground! 01:25:34.740 --> 01:25:38.180 Atlanta, Georgia. Snacks is back! 01:26:34.740 --> 01:26:41.740 Now joining us on the stage representing Brazil, it's legacy! 01:28:04.740 --> 01:28:08.320 But they finally provide the keys to unlock a trophy. 01:28:08.320 --> 01:28:11.600 Janko, do you think there is a clear favorite coming into this one? 01:28:11.600 --> 01:28:12.800 I don't think there is, Freya. 01:28:12.800 --> 01:28:14.960 I'm expecting a very exciting matchup here. 01:28:14.960 --> 01:28:18.440 These are two teams that are on the rise, and there's a lot on the line for them. 01:28:18.440 --> 01:28:22.700 Not only the grand final of this tournament, but the VRS points that are up for grabs, 01:28:22.700 --> 01:28:23.700 right? 01:28:23.700 --> 01:28:28.180 Moving forward so they can have more of these two-bond invites, more opportunities, and 01:28:28.180 --> 01:28:32.680 I think legacy with their aggressive style, they're going to make some fireworks today. 01:28:32.680 --> 01:28:37.320 the game religion have such a deep set of fraggers on this squad and with how good 01:28:37.320 --> 01:28:41.520 high pecs has been how clutch he's been so far in this tournament already it's 01:28:41.520 --> 01:28:47.040 hard not to think that they might rally with that crowd as well in terms of that 01:28:47.040 --> 01:28:50.440 aggression that you feel like legacy are going to be putting on the server young 01:28:50.440 --> 01:28:54.040 here how is that going to be translating into that first map of ancient I think 01:28:54.040 --> 01:28:57.400 they're just going to be super paroling right even if you don't see them go for 01:28:57.400 --> 01:29:00.440 that mid-fight if they see that they're losing space they're always going to 01:29:00.440 --> 01:29:03.340 try to take real estate from you somewhere else right like they're very 01:29:03.340 --> 01:29:08.100 dynamic very active on the CC side when you have guys like Art and Dumau on your 01:29:08.100 --> 01:29:13.020 lineup those guys can't sit still so for gamer legion if they don't play a lot of 01:29:13.020 --> 01:29:17.220 sad fast paced rounds like it's gonna come down to a lot of being able to react 01:29:17.220 --> 01:29:21.300 on the fly in the middle understand where aggression is coming for where 01:29:21.300 --> 01:29:25.100 there's space to be taken in return I'm fully expecting a star in this game for 01:29:25.100 --> 01:29:28.500 there to be a lot of pace from both squads whether they're on defense or 01:29:28.500 --> 01:29:33.140 offense there's really going to be an assertion that's made that whatever plans you come into 01:29:33.140 --> 01:29:38.180 this game with they're going to try to actively disrupt that 100% I mean if we're looking at the 01:29:38.180 --> 01:29:42.260 side of game religion and considering their reputation on ancient as a play any particular 01:29:42.260 --> 01:29:48.740 individual that you look into have a really lightning hot start I need it to be high facts 01:29:49.300 --> 01:29:54.260 I need this guy to continue to bask in the moment and absorb that energy that the crowd 01:29:54.260 --> 01:30:00.100 just keeps on bringing over to Gamer Legion. They love Oakland, they love snacks, they just wish 01:30:00.100 --> 01:30:04.340 for snacks, but was hungrier all the time here in the Georgia Peach State. 01:30:04.340 --> 01:30:10.180 Poland hasn't had an upper world class on the big stage since Asher Bicep's friend. That's a long 01:30:10.180 --> 01:30:15.380 time ago. They've tried, they've had Hungary's second best hopper, they've had a French hopper, 01:30:15.380 --> 01:30:20.340 not named Zybel, but Hypex is the one. It's time to officially get this semi-final stars. 01:30:24.260 --> 01:30:29.260 Game Religion vs. Legacy. 01:30:29.260 --> 01:30:35.260 An opportunity presents itself here in Atlanta for two teams trying to get back into the conversation. 01:30:35.260 --> 01:30:38.260 Two players trying to re-enter the conversation. 01:30:38.260 --> 01:30:39.260 Legacy have art. 01:30:39.260 --> 01:30:44.260 A Ling game leader who took a hiatus away from top-level play but has come back reinvented 01:30:44.260 --> 01:30:47.260 and with Legacy looking better than a long time ago. 01:30:47.260 --> 01:30:53.260 We've now got a Game Religion who has snacked suddenly back from his G2 tenure with a second crack at Game Religion 01:30:53.260 --> 01:30:55.260 and a chance to get into a grand final. 01:30:55.260 --> 01:30:57.260 Big names at the helm for both squads, 01:30:57.260 --> 01:31:00.260 but it's the supporting cast that's blowing things up on both sides 01:31:00.260 --> 01:31:02.260 in the map, two-mout, and Lotto. 01:31:02.260 --> 01:31:05.260 Every single event seems like they're building towards that potential 01:31:05.260 --> 01:31:06.260 we know they've had. 01:31:06.260 --> 01:31:08.260 Taliesin, PR, 01:31:08.260 --> 01:31:09.260 Hypex, big mention. 01:31:09.260 --> 01:31:12.260 Rez having a resurgent year in his career. 01:31:12.260 --> 01:31:14.260 Firepower on both sides. 01:31:14.260 --> 01:31:19.260 And in these semifinals, we're going to find our first grand finalist tomorrow. 01:31:19.260 --> 01:31:22.260 No vitality, the best chance you've got. 01:31:22.260 --> 01:31:29.260 This is for the Grand Finals, semi-finals, the Intel Stream Masters at Lanta, kicking off here on ancient. 01:31:36.260 --> 01:31:41.260 This round goes live, we've got legacy defending on the CT side. We've got Gamer Legion attacking into them. 01:31:41.260 --> 01:31:47.260 Hypeback, Smoke, Flash, Flash, and Molotov on Taliesin, and a lot of bodies headed towards that B bomb site. 01:31:47.260 --> 01:31:50.740 Rez crossing middle sees nothing and there's going to be a timing on this 01:31:50.740 --> 01:31:57.060 hit. Lato and Art going to be defending cave. So the bomb site is open and Rez 01:31:57.060 --> 01:32:02.100 going to take his first steps in. Crossfire with Doolies to deal with. Yeah 01:32:02.100 --> 01:32:05.180 this is going to be tough to break apart. Lato and Art both position with 01:32:05.180 --> 01:32:08.420 Churpo Reddies and their safety they can hold this position. They don't have to 01:32:08.420 --> 01:32:11.900 worry about the B bomb site. You can just hold on to cave, hold on to Jaguar and 01:32:11.900 --> 01:32:13.380 and set things up for the retake. 01:32:14.380 --> 01:32:15.420 All right. 01:32:15.420 --> 01:32:16.740 Triple run is unleashed. 01:32:16.740 --> 01:32:18.100 First, it's Ark with the first two. 01:32:18.100 --> 01:32:19.940 Lato, picking up Rize. 01:32:19.940 --> 01:32:21.180 That's the bomb dropped as well. 01:32:21.180 --> 01:32:22.020 It's over. 01:32:22.020 --> 01:32:24.380 Yeah, that's the last pitch effort here from Towson. 01:32:24.380 --> 01:32:26.500 Coming up the ramp, he does drop Ark. 01:32:26.500 --> 01:32:27.580 And Lato now moving out, 01:32:27.580 --> 01:32:29.460 trying to make sure that this is over. 01:32:29.460 --> 01:32:31.140 Allowing a single chance for Gamelision 01:32:31.140 --> 01:32:32.540 to fight their way back into it. 01:32:32.540 --> 01:32:34.780 Oh, that would be a really, really tough loss 01:32:34.780 --> 01:32:35.780 if you drop this. 01:32:35.780 --> 01:32:36.820 Okay, there's one mistake. 01:32:36.820 --> 01:32:38.220 Dumal goes down on the flight. 01:32:38.220 --> 01:32:39.860 And I just want to try to press in, 01:32:39.860 --> 01:32:41.820 and Lato, he recovers nicely. 01:32:41.820 --> 01:32:45.060 You know, if Lato goes down there, you got a 2v2 with a player in cave, 01:32:45.060 --> 01:32:48.300 Hypex trying to clutch up, it's sad to prevent it. 01:32:48.300 --> 01:32:51.260 And that will be legacy to take the pistol round. 01:32:51.260 --> 01:32:54.980 Such a strong starting cave, it was so difficult to flip that back, 01:32:54.980 --> 01:32:56.780 despite a good effort from Gamer Legion. 01:32:56.780 --> 01:32:58.220 I just kind of a blind loss, right? 01:32:58.220 --> 01:33:02.180 The tactic you call out a spawn is just countered completely by what they called out a spawn. 01:33:02.180 --> 01:33:04.180 No real movement by Gamer Legion. 01:33:04.180 --> 01:33:07.380 This round of trying to figure out and probe the defense before committing to it. 01:33:07.380 --> 01:33:11.220 And yeah, the bomb being lost in that scenario makes the round so, so difficult. 01:33:11.220 --> 01:33:20.220 So Legacy get a start on the positive note, gain a little bit of momentum, get that economy established and without a bomb plant, without even really any kills. 01:33:20.220 --> 01:33:26.220 GameElegion sit back with no upgrades to the pistol, it's unarmored Glock, so an easy time for Legacy's defense. 01:33:28.220 --> 01:33:36.220 We got Dumao, who's moved through elbow. Like Yankee was just saying before this game went live, if you've got Dumao, you've got already two players, can't sit still. 01:33:36.220 --> 01:33:39.720 We're going to be getting aggressive even in rounds where it's ill advised, right? 01:33:39.720 --> 01:33:42.720 You shouldn't really be pushing blocks as heavily as this, 01:33:42.720 --> 01:33:46.720 but Doomow wants to bring some attitudes, some confidence in the early rounds, 01:33:46.720 --> 01:33:48.720 trying to farm away. 01:33:48.720 --> 01:33:49.720 There's blocks. 01:33:49.720 --> 01:33:52.720 There's like a mentality thing to it, like push down and let them know right out of the gate 01:33:52.720 --> 01:33:54.720 that they're just not going to get a whole lot of room to work with. 01:33:54.720 --> 01:33:57.720 That's kind of my thought process coming into this match was 01:33:57.720 --> 01:34:02.220 Gamer Legion yesterday played a very chill, very slow, kind of defaulty style around the map, 01:34:02.220 --> 01:34:04.720 not doing anything super crazy, a couple pieces mixed in there, 01:34:04.720 --> 01:34:08.400 in there but legacy is not going to let you have that comfort and both sides of 01:34:08.400 --> 01:34:10.960 the map they like being aggressive they want to disrupt what you want to do they 01:34:10.960 --> 01:34:14.800 want to take away your first option so my first test for game of legion on this 01:34:14.800 --> 01:34:17.480 series and this map is going to be can they actually stop that aggression can 01:34:17.480 --> 01:34:21.240 they negate it and put it back so that legacy maybe loses motivation to be like 01:34:21.240 --> 01:34:24.880 that to play in that style 01:34:24.880 --> 01:34:29.880 Well, this is Tate Talcinoite, and now the final player of the R1. 01:34:29.880 --> 01:34:33.880 Who has picked up the MP9 earlier and has dished out a little bit more damage than they would like. 01:34:34.880 --> 01:34:40.880 Send the rifle in, the replacement of the reinforcements, and that will be a 2-0 lead for Legacy. 01:34:40.880 --> 01:34:44.880 Yeah, really clean start here. Plenty of money built up for the Legacy side. 01:34:44.880 --> 01:34:48.880 AK-47s and weapons coming for Gamer Legion, the first gun round. 01:34:48.880 --> 01:34:52.880 We'll see how Snax wants to play this one and how they want to address the mid situation. 01:34:54.880 --> 01:35:01.880 When we heard Freya sort of highlighted the fact that Game Illegion have quite the reputation 01:35:01.880 --> 01:35:07.880 here on Ancient, getting it in the first map of the semi-finals, so definitely a plus 01:35:07.880 --> 01:35:08.880 from the squad. 01:35:08.880 --> 01:35:10.880 But going down 2-0, at least Legacy have a decent style. 01:35:10.880 --> 01:35:14.880 Let's see if they can continue it as the rifles do come out here for Game Illegion. 01:35:14.880 --> 01:35:18.880 Ooh, Snacks found a little sneaky path to dodge all the flames, so no sound cue to let Legacy 01:35:18.880 --> 01:35:20.880 know that he's actually moved into this position. 01:35:20.880 --> 01:35:24.840 He himself listening for footsteps to start piecing together what the map looks like 01:35:28.360 --> 01:35:31.160 No one attacking or regressing in middle really from either side 01:35:31.480 --> 01:35:36.020 Legacy not even really having any eyes on it whatsoever a very passive set up there with sadzen tucked in 01:35:38.320 --> 01:35:41.000 As all the defensive emphasis that's a great shot 01:35:41.000 --> 01:35:46.160 Nice and goes down just jump spotting. He lost to take early a five on four and that's a weakened defense 01:35:46.160 --> 01:35:53.160 I think I got Dumal moving out through a main. Rez was watching this, but the timing to look away. 01:35:53.160 --> 01:35:59.160 He comes right back, but this time, surprise, Dumal's in his face, and a 4v4 as Dumal hunts it back. 01:35:59.160 --> 01:36:03.160 And now you can see Legacy's defense thinks that's going to force Gamer Legion into make their move, 01:36:03.160 --> 01:36:08.160 so defensive smoke deployed to disjoint the attack. Right as that kill comes out with Dumal's aggression. 01:36:08.160 --> 01:36:12.160 There's a strong setup here for the defense, and Legacy, three players at the B-bomb site. 01:36:12.160 --> 01:36:15.660 Art of the Cubby snacks trying to get out of game the smokes are up 01:36:15.660 --> 01:36:18.300 They're gonna step in front of them sats and trying to help his teammate 01:36:18.300 --> 01:36:22.420 But now art is completely isolated from his teammates. He severed off from the support 01:36:22.420 --> 01:36:27.640 But so what is that inside of the site and no longer is they set up super strong for legacy 01:36:27.640 --> 01:36:33.000 They've lost a member. They're now down a player for the retake. It's his heart to see how legacy are gonna pull this off 01:36:33.000 --> 01:36:35.440 You don't get a kill pretty quickly as these three legacy players 01:36:35.440 --> 01:36:38.460 You might want to start thinking about saving you've only got one kid as well on Lotto 01:36:38.460 --> 01:36:41.560 So if he falls that diffuses gonna be really really tough without a smoke 01:36:41.560 --> 01:36:43.560 I don't see how they get into this 01:36:44.080 --> 01:36:48.480 I don't just waiting the snacks peeking into the open Lato to die. Now you've got sads in a doom out 01:36:49.080 --> 01:36:54.280 Just having a filter away save these weapons and game religion to fight forward for their first round way 01:36:54.280 --> 01:36:58.140 Yeah, that's I mean all off the back of PR. That's a really dirty shot 01:36:58.880 --> 01:37:04.520 To hit on a Nissen who's just jump spotting for information down B ramp and catches a straight bullet to the dome lovely work 01:37:05.720 --> 01:37:11.400 Not gonna get that kind of opening each and every time but well done from gamer Legion recovering the situation after res go down 01:37:11.560 --> 01:37:15.940 Res goes down the map shrinks you're running out of options and PR gives you the escape valve 01:37:17.980 --> 01:37:19.980 So first round for gamer legion 01:37:21.300 --> 01:37:25.720 And that'll put the money in legacy in a very weak position nasty 01:37:27.640 --> 01:37:30.540 Shorts men this I'm gonna be disappointed about that 01:37:31.140 --> 01:37:32.540 It's up for art as well 01:37:32.540 --> 01:37:37.900 You can see him I mean between two minds especially when those smokes come up really good job game religion was good with utility 01:37:37.900 --> 01:37:40.420 yesterday in the quarterfinals big reason why they were able to overtake 01:37:40.420 --> 01:37:44.220 pain and win that series to earn themselves a semi-final birth now 01:37:44.220 --> 01:37:47.820 there's set pieces are very strong when they decided to go for them got Nades 01:37:47.820 --> 01:37:51.220 coming in from missing just trying to catch snacks that's a little bit of 01:37:51.220 --> 01:37:53.860 damage to it but here comes some aggression from like you see flash 01:37:53.860 --> 01:37:57.940 play trying to be disruptive and that's gonna be missing with the first snacks 01:37:57.940 --> 01:38:01.800 to train it out with a wall bang feel very happy with that coming away with the 01:38:01.800 --> 01:38:05.020 advantage without even having to see his opponent yeah there's not just reaction 01:38:05.020 --> 01:38:07.780 from rice that's there's that disruption we talked about with the defense from 01:38:07.780 --> 01:38:12.780 They're not going to sit back on their heels, so Reds has a little bit of a play, but a gap in that smoke, sadds it all year, and real trouble. 01:38:12.780 --> 01:38:14.780 I can't believe he's gotten away with it all. 01:38:14.780 --> 01:38:16.780 I cannot believe he got away with that one. 01:38:16.780 --> 01:38:25.780 That's ridiculous. Well, Legacy, a good job of being disruptive. You're completely breaking apart a plan A here for GamerLegion, forcing them to try and find solutions. 01:38:25.780 --> 01:38:31.780 And you know, if we talk about GamerLegion being a set-piece heavy team, loving those executions, relying upon the utility, 01:38:31.780 --> 01:38:37.540 You need to be in the position to be able to throw that utility and be able to move in as a team and as a unit 01:38:37.540 --> 01:38:42.780 If legacy or just pushing you down the ramp killing you you miss a crucial piece of utility for execution 01:38:42.780 --> 01:38:47.660 Then you've got to react on the fly and that's why that's what I brought up kind of at the start is if you can't handle what 01:38:47.660 --> 01:38:48.940 What legacy is going to bring to the table? 01:38:48.940 --> 01:38:53.180 I don't think game allegiance going to get options to run their playbook all that frequently since Allison 01:38:53.300 --> 01:38:58.620 It's able to cleave one off still has three to find and then caught from behind do now with another lovely push 01:38:58.620 --> 01:39:04.620 You know, you know, like, it's not going to bring that style of your game, but how do you combat that? 01:39:04.620 --> 01:39:10.620 Like, how do they, how do you force them to respect you so that you can get that space to play your game and set up your execution? 01:39:10.620 --> 01:39:14.620 Well, they might be able to negate some of it. Again, yesterday they played kind of slow, far back in the openings. 01:39:14.620 --> 01:39:16.620 They didn't really do much on the maps for 30 seconds. 01:39:16.620 --> 01:39:20.620 The hard thing is you want to gain control of certain portions of ancients, so you're kind of forced into this. 01:39:20.620 --> 01:39:24.620 They knew aggression was coming, right, with that smoke down towards double doors. 01:39:24.620 --> 01:39:26.620 That's kind of the giveaway, especially how shallow it was. 01:39:26.620 --> 01:39:30.640 was just a nice timing to find a little bit delayed from legacy before they pop 01:39:30.640 --> 01:39:37.120 through smoke down towards elbow though open trying to give some vision here to 01:39:37.120 --> 01:39:40.400 high packs are prevented from moving forward beyond Jag 01:39:40.400 --> 01:39:44.240 we'll have to sit behind the fire for just a couple of seconds but you know he's gonna 01:39:44.240 --> 01:39:47.760 start moving as soon as that fades away 01:39:47.760 --> 01:39:51.560 legacy is also a very momentum based team when they start having these 01:39:51.560 --> 01:39:54.840 successful fast aggressive plays they just keep going back to it and they keep 01:39:54.840 --> 01:39:59.620 getting stronger. Good spot for Mark. Sees a little bit of information, a little bit of 01:39:59.620 --> 01:40:05.380 damage on the res with the spam. And GamerLegit just now, a minute and 12 seconds on the clock 01:40:05.380 --> 01:40:08.800 starting to make their first move out middle. Bomb is on its own in aim aim on the back 01:40:08.800 --> 01:40:13.920 of Towson. So they're going to try and meet up through Donut. Sads in and two mouths to 01:40:13.920 --> 01:40:16.680 defend and they haven't had a whole lot of attention, a whole lot of love sent their 01:40:16.680 --> 01:40:21.920 way yet in this map. First real test. 01:40:21.920 --> 01:40:27.920 Fax missing the opportunity, and then Dumal peeks up. He gets away with two. 01:40:27.920 --> 01:40:32.920 That's huge with Dumal at the red room. Now PR at least sending one shot back, but here comes the next move. 01:40:32.920 --> 01:40:35.920 It's R walking out, back turn to Snack. That's a free kill on the Deagle. 01:40:35.920 --> 01:40:40.920 And luckily there was a secondary player behind him in Lato to make sure Snacks can't get more. 01:40:40.920 --> 01:40:48.920 So Towson 1v3, first is gone, second batter, and all of a sudden a chance, because he's got the info in Lato. 01:40:48.920 --> 01:40:53.760 Exactly where he last spotted and so he's gonna move over towards this a site that's up for a lot 01:40:53.760 --> 01:40:58.200 Oh, he's gonna take his time over towards mid sprinting towards doughnut now. We're gonna catch in it's all on Towson 01:40:58.400 --> 01:41:00.920 Going for the reload crossing into the open 01:41:01.320 --> 01:41:04.080 Now where does he think lactose gonna come from? 01:41:04.400 --> 01:41:09.880 He's got the read. He's looking towards donut. He's got the right idea. Lado coming in slowly 01:41:11.160 --> 01:41:13.880 Comes down to timing will Towson look at the right spot 01:41:13.880 --> 01:41:16.640 But in time, you better believe it, Will! 01:41:16.640 --> 01:41:21.000 Towson steps up with a stellar 3K. 01:41:21.000 --> 01:41:24.080 And that can get Gamer Legion going in this first half. 01:41:24.080 --> 01:41:25.040 Oh, they needed it. 01:41:25.040 --> 01:41:26.040 And we saw it yesterday. 01:41:26.040 --> 01:41:27.840 That was what kept Gamer Legion in the games, 01:41:27.840 --> 01:41:29.720 was the clutches from Hypex. 01:41:29.720 --> 01:41:32.480 Now you've got Towson delivering the goods. 01:41:32.480 --> 01:41:34.080 And this round was so perfect. 01:41:34.080 --> 01:41:36.520 Everything looked so good for Legacy. 01:41:36.520 --> 01:41:38.880 Up until this moment, the double swing 01:41:38.880 --> 01:41:41.200 feels like textbooks should have been great, 01:41:41.200 --> 01:41:42.760 but a three-on-one dropped. 01:41:42.760 --> 01:41:45.400 and Taliesin gets game a legion fired up. 01:41:45.400 --> 01:41:47.400 That's what Janko was saying before this game. 01:41:47.400 --> 01:41:50.040 You know, talking about how Taliesin showed glimpses last year 01:41:50.040 --> 01:41:52.840 of him starting to step up and hit another level. 01:41:52.840 --> 01:41:55.240 Getting a C Taliesin shot, but an important game like this 01:41:55.240 --> 01:41:57.880 is going to make game a legion so much more deadly. 01:41:57.880 --> 01:41:59.560 Oh, just those, these clutches and these moments 01:41:59.560 --> 01:42:01.200 while Snack starts getting this offense up 01:42:01.200 --> 01:42:02.120 and running it online. 01:42:02.120 --> 01:42:04.040 It's such a nice luxury to have. 01:42:04.040 --> 01:42:05.720 And look at what it's done to the money of legacy. 01:42:05.720 --> 01:42:07.000 Now it's not all the M4s. 01:42:07.000 --> 01:42:08.480 Now it's not all the pop flash peeks 01:42:08.480 --> 01:42:10.880 and the aggressive smokes for pushes. 01:42:10.880 --> 01:42:13.880 He played with MP9's epistole, very light on maids. 01:42:13.880 --> 01:42:16.880 Gonna be a tough round for Legacy's start to finish. 01:42:16.880 --> 01:42:21.880 Tough start here for Ruzz, who's down to 39 HP, getting spammed down. 01:42:21.880 --> 01:42:23.880 Here comes a reaction from Legacy. 01:42:23.880 --> 01:42:27.880 He's gonna be going aggressive towards A-Man, coming towards Talston again. 01:42:30.880 --> 01:42:32.880 AK out, do mouth, close slides. 01:42:32.880 --> 01:42:34.880 MP9 in close quarters, combat. 01:42:34.880 --> 01:42:36.880 Talston doesn't want to get involved in that fight. 01:42:36.880 --> 01:42:38.880 He's letting Hypex come beside him. 01:42:38.880 --> 01:42:43.200 It's interesting, Satsun isn't coming back at all from the A-bomb side to help out, despite the fact that Dumau's been spotted. 01:42:43.200 --> 01:42:46.780 Molotov takes away the fight he was looking for, but good negation with that smoke. 01:42:46.780 --> 01:42:51.920 Dumau's controlling this situation very well, along with an MP9 against two AKs, and he's winning it out. 01:42:51.920 --> 01:42:53.880 Excuse me, two rifles, an AK and a Galil? 01:42:53.880 --> 01:42:57.800 A lot of that's happening, we're seeing more players in Gamelidge and getting positioned towards Donut, right? 01:42:57.800 --> 01:43:02.920 So Dumau's gonna start dropping back, but Gamelidge gonna put three players in Donut, ready for this ace play. 01:43:02.920 --> 01:43:05.640 First contact coming through Donut, they're blocking each other! 01:43:05.640 --> 01:43:11.040 Satsun and Dumal, a little bit of confusion and they're both gonna die and that's the A-Side wide open. 01:43:11.040 --> 01:43:14.740 Yeah, that's a huge mistake. I think Dumal's thinking that they're gonna stand and fight. 01:43:14.740 --> 01:43:19.440 Satsun wanted to back away, but they had to make a decision on either Donut or A-Main. 01:43:19.440 --> 01:43:23.240 Dumal had controlled the situation, but with an MP9 he can't stop everything. 01:43:23.240 --> 01:43:25.340 They just get stuck between two decisions. 01:43:25.840 --> 01:43:27.840 And this round looks real rough. 01:43:27.840 --> 01:43:32.340 A great composure from Game Illusion, soon right for those A-Main players to keep Dumal distracted. 01:43:32.340 --> 01:43:34.640 Keep him pinned, but don't offer up your life. 01:43:34.640 --> 01:43:40.360 Let the doughnut players get in position and let them take first cartel. You see how confusing it was for the defending players 01:43:40.360 --> 01:43:45.300 Yeah, no one took it and no one to control the situation from the legacy side, but so in sadson and do now nobody made the call 01:43:46.320 --> 01:43:48.320 So tied up at three 01:43:48.440 --> 01:43:53.200 Money's gonna be gone for legacy. They'll bring this m4 mp9 and 5 7 into the next round 01:43:53.200 --> 01:43:57.440 But that's basically gonna be all they got sadson and do now they'll have to figure out if they want to invest afterwards 01:43:58.080 --> 01:44:03.480 mentioned legacy being a momentum team with the last two rounds of surely taking that momentum completely away from them 01:44:04.640 --> 01:44:08.640 And scoopy the point where GamerLegion starts to turn up the heat on the T side. 01:44:09.640 --> 01:44:16.640 And all of this ignited by Towson's 1v3, forcing a timeout now out of the defense, burn one early to talk things over. 01:44:18.640 --> 01:44:24.640 First conversation with the coach, trying to figure out how exactly they want to work out of this scenario. 01:44:24.640 --> 01:44:31.640 Not a whole lot to play with in this round, I think they'll have to sit it out, they'll have to look like GamerLegion is going to take a small lead before they can fight back. 01:44:31.640 --> 01:44:37.160 I haven't seen the op-out on the CT side for Legacy quite yet either. 01:44:37.160 --> 01:44:41.560 So we'll see how that changes the defense or changes the way Gamer Legion moves around 01:44:41.560 --> 01:44:42.560 the map. 01:44:42.560 --> 01:44:46.960 But really, this slow style from Gamer Legion is going to be really, really effective as 01:44:46.960 --> 01:44:51.600 long as they have control of the economy, because Legacy will be forced to play a passive 01:44:51.600 --> 01:44:55.680 without a whole lot of resources to execute any of their ideas. 01:44:55.680 --> 01:44:59.440 Let's put them in the driver's seat now. 01:44:59.440 --> 01:45:01.440 7 01:45:01.440 --> 01:45:06.480 Look what you've got if your legacy you got sands in our usp two miles on a p250 01:45:06.880 --> 01:45:11.520 At least you've got them for here for missing but that's gonna be the winning piece and they're on the right side of the map 01:45:11.520 --> 01:45:14.600 They stack P and here comes tells you're charging it trying to open up 01:45:14.600 --> 01:45:18.680 That's the right foot going down first trying to get their hands on it is black so he's picked it up 01:45:18.680 --> 01:45:22.840 He goes into the open but he's out of bullets and now out of life the snacks takes two 01:45:22.840 --> 01:45:27.960 That's the site overwhelm the gamer leech it's a little scary for a second because they're running into the stack 01:45:27.960 --> 01:45:31.680 This design to deal with them, but they batter through it. That's a nice change of page 01:45:31.680 --> 01:45:36.200 That's just a vibe call from snacks feeling like out of the time out take away whatever they're discussing 01:45:36.200 --> 01:45:42.280 We do it felt like with the way that they were positioned and stacking they were gonna move into some kind of a play to be aggressive towards length or Jaguar 01:45:42.600 --> 01:45:45.280 Obviously with the B rush, you don't get execute that idea 01:45:45.920 --> 01:45:50.040 So sad to the hustle in with the USP the last one to fall and he will 01:45:50.840 --> 01:45:55.820 Game religion take a four to three lead here on ancients opening map of these semi finals in Atlanta 01:45:57.960 --> 01:46:10.680 What are we working with here, that's rock and roll. 01:46:10.680 --> 01:46:15.960 It's having a lot of troubles, it's having a lot of issues, I don't tech. 01:46:15.960 --> 01:46:18.480 Oh, it's a scout, okay. 01:46:18.480 --> 01:46:19.980 Didn't miss much. 01:46:19.980 --> 01:46:23.240 Oh, I'd like to see, they've got their play back out, and look how quick Gamelizion are 01:46:23.240 --> 01:46:24.240 about this now. 01:46:24.240 --> 01:46:26.040 They've got to pep in their step as they move out middle. 01:46:26.040 --> 01:46:31.640 Actually really cool to see only M4's Lotto's got pepper this step to here's one of those aggressive plays 01:46:32.840 --> 01:46:37.340 Snacks already get a push for take a risk. He heard the footsteps pull back a little bit of action 01:46:39.000 --> 01:46:42.700 He's in a backstab position now. This could get even worse for legacy 01:46:45.120 --> 01:46:51.140 Where does he decide to go all snacks you got runs who's just looked away at the wrong time art steps out into doughnut 01:46:51.140 --> 01:46:55.480 look at this position from snacks and anybody decides to rotate back to the ace 01:46:55.480 --> 01:46:58.060 I wish they will do because the bombs coming over here and 01:46:58.460 --> 01:47:04.000 Snacks is in the perfect spot now arts about to walk right into him that snacks taking the frag and now 01:47:04.180 --> 01:47:07.740 No shot whatsoever for legacy to do anything in this round 01:47:07.740 --> 01:47:12.840 Yeah, that's I think snacks calling the opening there and kind of taking some intuition when he sees those kills cannot towards the 01:47:12.840 --> 01:47:17.180 B bombsite isn't why don't I just walk through this smoke someone's gonna have to rotate and it's usually the mid guy 01:47:17.180 --> 01:47:21.720 Who's the first to go takes a risk and gets the reward eventually bomb goes down and 01:47:22.780 --> 01:47:26.840 Nothing legacy can do about it. So out of the time out two straight round losses 01:47:28.040 --> 01:47:34.860 No, game religion plate this map twice so far that I am Atlanta 13 one win versus Navina 13 8 versus trawlers 01:47:35.300 --> 01:47:40.420 Both good ancient teams right so very impressive results at the moment from game religion on this map 01:47:40.420 --> 01:47:45.860 Yeah, legacy planted once in Atlanta against Navi taking an 8 to 13 loss in a series that they ended up winning 01:47:45.860 --> 01:47:47.860 But this was the map they dropped in it 01:47:49.900 --> 01:47:56.340 Snacks looking to take some guns away right at the end sadzen tucked into the corner good shot from snacks slides into the angle ruthless 01:47:57.380 --> 01:47:59.480 From the in-game leader of gamer legion 01:47:59.900 --> 01:48:03.580 Yeah, that house and clutch just put this completely right here 01:48:03.580 --> 01:48:07.300 It felt like legacy with a bit more confidence very disruptive 01:48:07.940 --> 01:48:13.580 Suffocating game religion almost off that clutch four rounds in a row. Yeah, you can just see the attitude 01:48:13.580 --> 01:48:19.580 Every early kill is going their way. They're just charging out with confidence and decisiveness. 01:48:19.580 --> 01:48:23.580 Well now that also the game religion has control of the map floor in a row, 01:48:23.580 --> 01:48:26.580 have control of the money, advantage in weaponry pretty much every round, 01:48:26.580 --> 01:48:31.580 those kind of like fast aggressive natures of legacy we've seen at backfire now twice, 01:48:31.580 --> 01:48:35.580 game religion is going to be much more comfortable handling that now that the M4s and all the utility, 01:48:35.580 --> 01:48:38.580 all the Molotovs and Nades raining in are always there. 01:48:38.580 --> 01:48:45.900 Reza has the angle, almost doubles up, Dumao's got a back away, recovers the M4 but nothing 01:48:45.900 --> 01:48:47.900 you can do. 01:48:47.900 --> 01:48:50.940 Legacy brings a little bit of investment and danger into this round just to see if they 01:48:50.940 --> 01:48:55.100 can pull off a miracle and already on the back foot with the player down. 01:48:55.100 --> 01:49:00.300 You could just slow things down if you want, Gabriel, you've got Talisman such a good spot 01:49:00.300 --> 01:49:03.460 up in the red room. 01:49:03.460 --> 01:49:07.460 He can cut off rotations, he can start a flanklet into the round. 01:49:07.460 --> 01:49:10.820 so many options now available true to his position. 01:49:10.820 --> 01:49:13.980 PR walking up to the top of the ramp, spotting on Sazik. 01:49:13.980 --> 01:49:17.220 He rising PR taking the two kills in the B site. 01:49:17.220 --> 01:49:21.700 And that's the site wide open as they move through. 01:49:21.700 --> 01:49:25.500 Again, they're around, but really had nothing in it for legacy. 01:49:25.500 --> 01:49:27.420 It seemed like there was, I mean, there was an idea, right? 01:49:27.420 --> 01:49:30.260 Dumau had the double swing with an M4 on the first player. 01:49:30.260 --> 01:49:32.180 Dumau had to recover after he goes down. 01:49:32.180 --> 01:49:34.420 The big thing was they were kind of delaying it with a pop flash 01:49:34.420 --> 01:49:40.360 Resid already gotten into the corner tucked in safely and things are just rough at the moment in every sense for legacy 01:49:41.820 --> 01:49:48.060 Game religion so in some peer superiority on the map early on doubled up the scoreboard and it's six to three 01:49:55.380 --> 01:50:00.920 You mentioned as both teams trying to re-enter the conversation and both teams that have had some slumps that have had some lineup 01:50:00.920 --> 01:50:04.220 changes that have had some periods where they've struggled and it feels like at 01:50:04.220 --> 01:50:07.760 this event yeah that is the kind of the goal re-enter the conversation and they 01:50:07.760 --> 01:50:11.540 have both interesting teams are playing very well having legacy playing very well 01:50:11.540 --> 01:50:16.520 up to this up to this matchup they haven't dropped a series here in Atlanta 01:50:16.520 --> 01:50:21.900 at all wins over M80 Astralis and Navi came religion as well snacks has this 01:50:21.900 --> 01:50:26.140 team turning around they've shot up the rankings throughout his tenure here losing 01:50:26.140 --> 01:50:29.620 to Navi early on but liquid Astralis and Payne have been their victims on this 01:50:29.620 --> 01:50:35.140 path, pain in the quarterfinals, eliminating them and now meeting their fellow countryman 01:50:35.140 --> 01:50:37.780 legacy in this battle. 01:50:37.780 --> 01:50:41.300 Second time out used by legacy to discuss things because it's going horribly wrong, but for 01:50:41.300 --> 01:50:44.760 the first time we're going to get the op of sadzen in play. 01:50:44.760 --> 01:50:47.060 And we'll see if that can change the way this map goes. 01:50:47.060 --> 01:50:50.580 We'll see if he can have influence and slow down gamer legion because this onslaught right 01:50:50.580 --> 01:50:54.020 Now, Snacks feels like he can do whatever he wants on the map. 01:51:02.900 --> 01:51:05.860 Let's see what legacy he can do, what they can change up. 01:51:07.060 --> 01:51:09.860 They're trying to give themselves a little bit more life in this first half. 01:51:09.860 --> 01:51:13.460 Out of the last time out, Snacks called that very, very fast B rush. 01:51:14.580 --> 01:51:16.500 This time taking a different approach. 01:51:16.860 --> 01:51:18.580 Gonna try and activate resin middle. 01:51:20.580 --> 01:51:25.580 Smoke breaks open, Satsons up, not spawning any targets. 01:51:25.580 --> 01:51:32.580 Yeah, I think this is Russ crossing yet again, so gotta be careful of how wide you swing that in the middle when that smoke blows open, but Russ now making his move. 01:51:32.580 --> 01:51:38.580 Moving ever closer to red and it's gonna be snatched, just annihilating Art on the other side. 01:51:38.580 --> 01:51:43.580 And that opens up the avenue for Russ, he was already making his move, he gets to keep going, this is a really nasty timing to hit. 01:51:43.580 --> 01:51:47.580 Lato and Nissan coming over to control the situation, but they can't. 01:51:47.580 --> 01:51:51.580 It's so quick, and also a thousand spin back, no chance! 01:51:51.580 --> 01:51:53.580 Absolutely none. 01:51:53.580 --> 01:52:00.580 Legacy getting destroyed on ancient, and Gamer Legion showing us why they like to go to this map time and time again. 01:52:02.580 --> 01:52:04.580 They're not even in it at all here, Legacy. 01:52:04.580 --> 01:52:06.580 I mean, this is surgical. 01:52:06.580 --> 01:52:10.580 This is Gamer Legion using a scalpel and just finding everything they want. 01:52:10.580 --> 01:52:13.580 Just exact moves, perfect moves at the perfect time. 01:52:13.580 --> 01:52:15.580 And... 01:52:15.580 --> 01:52:18.580 And Sansen hasn't even been able to fire this op yet. 01:52:20.580 --> 01:52:22.580 Hasn't seen anyone for the first time he's got it in the field. 01:52:22.580 --> 01:52:24.580 I mean, Gamer Legion have the opportunity to be ruthless. 01:52:24.580 --> 01:52:28.580 Still plenty of time in this bomb tunnel, and you can see him sliding across the map. 01:52:28.580 --> 01:52:30.580 They know it's the op, and they want to take this gun away. 01:52:30.580 --> 01:52:32.580 And now they've located it. 01:52:33.580 --> 01:52:35.580 And now they've got it. 01:52:35.580 --> 01:52:37.580 Nothing for legacy in the next round. 01:52:37.580 --> 01:52:42.580 Gamer Legion has just been absolutely, comprehensively dominant. 01:52:42.580 --> 01:52:44.580 6th round straight. 01:52:50.580 --> 01:52:54.580 You know, we're asking who needs to step up for game leaching coming into today's game, and 01:52:54.580 --> 01:52:57.580 Hypex was the name that you made throughout that, but 01:52:57.580 --> 01:53:00.580 just the rightfulers right now that are doing the work. 01:53:00.580 --> 01:53:04.580 They're not needed on the T side of HNT at all, that AWP, and 01:53:04.580 --> 01:53:08.580 when you get to see the strength of game leaching, they do have a great 01:53:08.580 --> 01:53:11.580 core of rightfuling abilities, and here's Rice just charging out Elbow. 01:53:11.580 --> 01:53:15.580 elbow. Arch gonna die first and all that space in mid is given over it. 01:53:15.580 --> 01:53:19.060 Dumont doesn't want to let it go for free. He's challenging, he's trying to get 01:53:19.060 --> 01:53:22.700 involved in the fight. He will beat out Towson, will do damage on the high pegs, 01:53:22.700 --> 01:53:27.420 but Rez again coming out of elbow with a headshot the result. Yeah, Dumont never 01:53:27.420 --> 01:53:30.220 knew he was in the corner, thought the second player was in the smoke. Look at 01:53:30.220 --> 01:53:33.220 this smoke fade. Okay, right next to Snats, he spots the shoulder. 01:53:33.220 --> 01:53:37.140 This one tries to slide through and starting to feel real desperate for 01:53:37.140 --> 01:53:44.140 legacy. This half is completely unraveled for them. 3 out of 4 to start, but now 6 in 01:53:44.380 --> 01:53:48.660 a row and looking like it's going to be 7 in a row. Snacks going to hold on for this 01:53:48.660 --> 01:53:53.540 push, finds Lotto, and B bombsite is open for them to waltz into. 01:53:53.540 --> 01:54:00.340 That sads in to come in right back over the 5-7, but it's going to get a perfect scenario 01:54:00.340 --> 01:54:04.580 to play out in front of him. At least they're kind of low, so I guess 1v1 fights, but it 01:54:04.580 --> 01:54:13.580 It doesn't matter even with that 1v1, Stax comes out on top of it, it's a 3k from Snax, 11-6 at the moment as we head into the last round of the first half. 01:54:15.580 --> 01:54:17.580 I think NAF went home, dude. 01:54:21.580 --> 01:54:28.580 Five round lead. I think at this point of your legacy, you've tried so much, so many different looks with kind of the pushes and aggressive natures. 01:54:28.580 --> 01:54:30.580 I think you almost just sit back and play this one static. 01:54:30.580 --> 01:54:36.080 Just play a standard round, see if the game religion can actually push up and beat you. 01:54:36.080 --> 01:54:40.180 You probably feel like it at the moment, but the aggressive stuff certainly ain't working. 01:54:40.180 --> 01:54:43.020 Satsunite is up yet again in support over in middle. 01:54:43.020 --> 01:54:47.020 Alright, this is Al-Elbo again. 01:54:47.020 --> 01:54:50.020 Here's the swing. 01:54:50.020 --> 01:54:51.520 Rez gets one. 01:54:51.520 --> 01:54:54.020 Art and Latto's aggression this time, panning out. 01:54:54.020 --> 01:54:57.140 He gets two kills, open things up for legacy. 01:54:57.140 --> 01:54:59.140 4v3 to try and convert upon him. 01:54:59.140 --> 01:55:02.740 damage as well but here's Talcun. Yeah, this is the move. You know there's so much attention over 01:55:02.740 --> 01:55:06.020 middle. Hypex is there, he's saying they're throwing nades. There's at least two in middle. 01:55:06.020 --> 01:55:10.340 You've seen a player pop out of cave as well. You have this map kind of a little bit of a vision 01:55:10.340 --> 01:55:14.820 of what it is and sliding into the A bomb site. The defense is extremely weak. It's going to be 01:55:14.820 --> 01:55:18.100 Lato who's got to come over as the first defender to check out what's happening. 01:55:20.980 --> 01:55:27.140 The open art. Pick up Talcun, so preventing fail safe. Now we got Hypex stepping out under the 01:55:27.140 --> 01:55:29.420 the open 50 health because of the grenades. 01:55:29.420 --> 01:55:32.300 Latto seems to be arriving at the perfect time to catch him up. 01:55:32.300 --> 01:55:34.420 And even then, Hypex wins that headshot. 01:55:34.420 --> 01:55:37.460 So it's still doable here for game elites and somehow, 01:55:37.460 --> 01:55:39.220 especially with PR coming over through middle. 01:55:39.220 --> 01:55:39.700 I like this. 01:55:39.700 --> 01:55:41.780 There's time for Hypex to just back out of this bomb site 01:55:41.780 --> 01:55:43.740 completely and let PR play next. 01:55:43.740 --> 01:55:45.260 Oh, art has been spotted. 01:55:45.260 --> 01:55:46.860 PR, can you move up on this? 01:55:48.860 --> 01:55:49.980 This is a shame. 01:55:49.980 --> 01:55:51.980 He gets to it. 01:55:51.980 --> 01:55:54.020 Oh, you can't let this one go like you see. 01:55:54.020 --> 01:55:55.420 This would be back breaking. 01:55:55.420 --> 01:55:56.740 Spine shattering. 01:55:56.740 --> 01:55:58.740 Finally, Sadzen gets a chance though. 01:55:58.740 --> 01:56:00.740 He comes over, but he's blocked by the smoke. 01:56:00.740 --> 01:56:02.740 And just at the perfect time as well, 01:56:02.740 --> 01:56:05.740 as Gamer Legion starts to arrive towards the bomb site. 01:56:05.740 --> 01:56:07.740 I feel like that was risky, but it's a play with it. 01:56:07.740 --> 01:56:08.740 Sadzen going over towards Temple. 01:56:08.740 --> 01:56:10.740 Nissen crawling in as well. 01:56:10.740 --> 01:56:11.740 No kit. 01:56:11.740 --> 01:56:13.740 Bomb planted, Hypex and PR both get a backup 01:56:13.740 --> 01:56:15.740 and play doubled up in donut. 01:56:16.740 --> 01:56:18.740 Only flashbangs for Hypex. 01:56:18.740 --> 01:56:20.740 The only utility in play in this clutch. 01:56:20.740 --> 01:56:23.740 If Gamer Legion win this, it tells you exactly how this half has gone. 01:56:23.740 --> 01:56:25.740 This should have been a legacies round all day long, 01:56:25.740 --> 01:56:29.120 day long but somehow a 2v2 a winnable situation. 01:56:29.120 --> 01:56:33.900 Gamer Legion going into the openness and wins the draw so it's got to be Hypex, he's been 01:56:33.900 --> 01:56:37.900 clutch all tournament long, he has to get to the defusing player but he's got that headshot, 01:56:37.900 --> 01:56:42.900 he's pulled Zapsen off, he gets to the kill but the time is the question, the Hype 5s 01:56:42.900 --> 01:56:46.900 are coming in, they believe there's time for this, they're going to hold it all the way 01:56:46.900 --> 01:56:52.660 and it's down to the wire but pulled off as Legacy secure a fourth round right at the 01:56:52.660 --> 01:56:57.660 end of the half for Gamer Legion are in control. 01:57:52.660 --> 01:57:54.660 I 01:58:22.660 --> 01:58:24.660 I 01:58:52.660 --> 01:58:54.660 I 01:59:22.660 --> 01:59:24.660 I 02:00:22.660 --> 02:00:29.860 Well gamer legion put legacy on the back foot put them in their back pocket even they were dominant in that first half ran over 02:00:29.860 --> 02:00:34.240 Them anywhere they wanted on the map we switch sides and legacies got a recovery mission 02:00:34.240 --> 02:00:39.420 We mentioned they were an aggressive momentum-based team gamer legion never let them build up any of that 02:00:39.420 --> 02:00:45.680 So it's got to start here on the T side on the offense where they get to dictate the pace and they get to dictate the action 02:00:45.860 --> 02:00:48.660 What is our haven store for us pistol round is live 02:00:48.660 --> 02:00:52.660 Tilly's on Hypex, Nate Flash on Telsen and Snacks. 02:00:52.660 --> 02:00:57.660 Sands in with the full kit of utility, and Legacy's heading towards middle in the A-bomb site. 02:00:59.660 --> 02:01:04.660 And they're coming out towards Donut where you got PR and Rez and Snacks to be the early warning system. 02:01:04.660 --> 02:01:08.660 So now they know Rez turns to fight, but he takes 99 damage on board. 02:01:08.660 --> 02:01:12.660 He's a 1HP and then Art and Dumal send kills across the server, 02:01:12.660 --> 02:01:14.660 and there's another one picked up here for Legacy. 02:01:14.660 --> 02:01:18.980 for legacy. This is crazy. This Pissarum is actually really weird. I don't even play in 02:01:18.980 --> 02:01:23.540 Gamer Legion for getting absolutely deleted. I don't know if that was all by design or if 02:01:23.540 --> 02:01:28.020 it just worked out so nice. Throw in the utility at the A bomb site. You kind of fake that you're 02:01:28.020 --> 02:01:32.660 going to come out A main. Donut defenders kind of turn their gaze for just a moment. But then 02:01:32.660 --> 02:01:36.580 legacy sinks back as if they just wanted to sense it like it was going to be a hit. Everyone got 02:01:36.580 --> 02:01:41.140 pulled out of their positions from Gamer Legion and just picked apart. That's actually really disgusting. 02:01:44.660 --> 02:01:51.660 One tries to swing out out of Jaguar and gets eliminated. One in Red Room gets eliminated and Donuts wide open. 02:01:54.660 --> 02:02:00.660 We got Art already out, Max-Man's swinging. It's going to be Ryze who ties, they pull off his down as well. 02:02:00.660 --> 02:02:07.660 And a good start here. I think initially in the first half the game plan seemed to be looking like it had legs to it for legacy. 02:02:07.660 --> 02:02:10.800 for Legacy, right? Getting in Gamer Legion's face, the first few rounds didn't feel like 02:02:10.800 --> 02:02:15.180 even there was still a chance that Towson just takes it away as it was starting to get going. 02:02:15.180 --> 02:02:18.380 Yeah, they never recovered from that, which is unfortunate. I don't know if you guys can 02:02:18.380 --> 02:02:21.060 tell from this round, but it's going to be a little bit of a different flavor in this 02:02:21.060 --> 02:02:25.340 half. We're going to see a lot faster pace at the openings for Legacy than Gamer Legion 02:02:25.340 --> 02:02:29.900 had in their own offense. Arc just running out mid with the Mach 10, now taking their 02:02:29.900 --> 02:02:32.860 time with the two-man advantage knowing they don't have to press the issue anywhere. They've 02:02:32.860 --> 02:02:34.860 They've got all the advantages in the world. 02:02:41.300 --> 02:02:43.300 Ooh, a shot from Snaks. 02:02:44.620 --> 02:02:48.620 Dropping back into the cave in behind the smoke for the time being, but PR is coming up next! 02:02:48.620 --> 02:02:55.120 Ooh, he had a chance, but one second longer and he had a really good opportunity to take another kill after Game of Legend. 02:02:55.120 --> 02:03:00.520 Yeah, Lada wasn't even considering it, but Dumalad is out on a swivel. He swung for that as if he knew someone was going to be there. 02:03:00.520 --> 02:03:05.800 Everyone coming up the ramp now snacks that decals got to do way more. There's one. Okay snacks 02:03:06.480 --> 02:03:08.480 Finally getting taken down by the Maxine 02:03:09.080 --> 02:03:12.520 Some stylish shots, but this isn't gonna unravel the round completely here 02:03:12.520 --> 02:03:16.560 So like you see that's back to back halfs where they've won both the first rounds unless 02:03:17.240 --> 02:03:20.240 Towson once again can steal this away from them. It's not over yet 02:03:20.240 --> 02:03:23.440 Yeah, flash goes out Towson on the 570 got 1v1 fight 02:03:23.440 --> 02:03:29.280 But do mal confident steps into the opening and let's out of yell as like you see have a good start in both of these halves 02:03:29.280 --> 02:03:31.120 Now the gap is just two rounds. 02:03:31.120 --> 02:03:32.960 Doomow and Art are gonna have a lot to say 02:03:32.960 --> 02:03:35.240 in terms of how this half goes for Legacy. 02:03:35.240 --> 02:03:37.360 Both of those guys are the top performers for their team. 02:03:37.360 --> 02:03:40.040 Doomow 12 kills, Art 11 kills in this map so far, 02:03:40.040 --> 02:03:42.160 but the kind of plays they decide to make, 02:03:42.160 --> 02:03:43.720 especially with Art kind of moving quickly, 02:03:43.720 --> 02:03:44.960 the kind of space they take, 02:03:44.960 --> 02:03:46.000 I think is gonna give a signal 02:03:46.000 --> 02:03:47.200 of how this Legacy team is playing 02:03:47.200 --> 02:03:49.720 and how confident the squad feels inside the server. 02:03:51.880 --> 02:03:54.840 One more round of a little bit of an easier competition. 02:03:54.840 --> 02:03:56.560 It's unarmored pistols for Game of Lugia. 02:03:56.560 --> 02:03:58.160 Do buy up the three Deagles. 02:03:58.160 --> 02:04:03.960 giving themselves a chance. PR heard the footsteps of a lot of legacy players 02:04:03.960 --> 02:04:06.560 coming over to the A bomb site so there's gonna be four defenders here but 02:04:06.560 --> 02:04:10.280 again it's only the pistols. He's got some great shots immediately in the bomb. 02:04:10.280 --> 02:04:13.720 Unfortunately for Gamelige, there's ART who has the great shot immediately. It's 02:04:13.720 --> 02:04:18.040 snacks getting taken down at the temple. Apex trying to find its eagle on the ground 02:04:18.040 --> 02:04:26.840 there. They want to pick it up. The damage is good from the ranks. In fact, he gets the kill and then suddenly Gamelige erupts with three frags. ART having to fight on. 02:04:26.840 --> 02:04:30.280 takes another bit of damage, but Ark is doing everything! 02:04:30.280 --> 02:04:32.240 Four kills, finally dead! 02:04:32.240 --> 02:04:35.800 And Telsen again, stopped so close, 02:04:35.800 --> 02:04:37.480 but not enough for Dameron Leachon, 02:04:37.480 --> 02:04:41.240 but all these rounds looking very difficult for Legacy. 02:04:41.240 --> 02:04:42.200 Yeah, that's a message. 02:04:42.200 --> 02:04:44.720 GameReligion has stepped ahead a little bit of information, 02:04:44.720 --> 02:04:46.040 and they get a lot out of it. 02:04:46.040 --> 02:04:48.240 Great shooting from PR. 02:04:48.240 --> 02:04:51.200 Done incredible damage to Legacy. 02:04:51.200 --> 02:04:52.920 Forces plenty of rebys. 02:04:52.920 --> 02:04:54.720 They're going into the first gun round. 02:04:54.720 --> 02:04:59.720 Legacy's money is on an edge. Res gets that first kill, but the Deagle's from PR. 02:05:02.220 --> 02:05:07.720 So, so nice. Everyone's springing. That's a beautiful shot for Art. Even the jump, giving away the information. 02:05:07.720 --> 02:05:12.720 But it gets so much more tense now. Legacy felt like they were starting to cruise and build up. 02:05:14.220 --> 02:05:16.220 Slows him down at the very least. 02:05:16.220 --> 02:05:21.720 And now you get the AWP out if you're game-leaching. You get the AWP for Hypex on the CT side. 02:05:21.720 --> 02:05:27.580 No challenge over on the T side in that department. All rifles AK-47s out for legacy 02:05:33.360 --> 02:05:37.400 That one hurts my man that one hurts all your friends saw it 02:05:42.320 --> 02:05:46.480 A little bit quicker again here from legacy got missing just trying to get out towards elbow 02:05:46.480 --> 02:05:52.060 You told us through and they're out they use a lot of utility to get out through elbow big part of their game plan 02:05:52.060 --> 02:05:57.600 And they still take a death. Yeah, it's what the smokes up tons of chip damage and reges. That's it snatches one away 02:05:57.960 --> 02:06:03.000 All right four versus five who's gonna be the one to recover at Satsen creeping a little bit close towards red room behind the mall 02:06:03.000 --> 02:06:05.000 It's off 02:06:06.920 --> 02:06:09.800 Smokes fading in mid Satsen does find safety 02:06:10.880 --> 02:06:14.280 It's an op on the other side of this peak and an easy kill for height backs 02:06:16.480 --> 02:06:20.960 Quickly once again legacy playing with two men down 02:06:24.680 --> 02:06:30.700 Bombers dropped all the way back at elbow so at the moment they're looking to find some success something with the space they've taken 02:06:30.700 --> 02:06:32.700 But they're always gonna have to go back and get the ball 02:06:33.400 --> 02:06:35.760 That's a tough part in the Lato being blocked 02:06:37.040 --> 02:06:43.240 Stacks is falling back trying to draw attention and set up Towson for this kill hoping that if Lato is to stroll into the 02:06:43.240 --> 02:06:45.960 Jack he's not gonna check Towson's position 02:06:46.480 --> 02:06:50.980 I'm going to be preoccupied about snacks just on that right side. 02:06:50.980 --> 02:06:53.980 I think he actually does get past. 02:06:53.980 --> 02:06:57.180 I think it's his idea to go get the bomb so he sees no reason to be the aggressor. 02:06:57.180 --> 02:06:58.180 35 seconds. 02:06:58.180 --> 02:06:59.180 I don't know. 02:06:59.180 --> 02:07:00.180 Okay. 02:07:00.180 --> 02:07:01.180 They don't realize. 02:07:01.180 --> 02:07:03.780 They didn't realize that mid was this open. 02:07:03.780 --> 02:07:05.180 Res standing back turned. 02:07:05.180 --> 02:07:10.140 Well is that the first little hole opened up with 25 seconds left to maybe try and get 02:07:10.140 --> 02:07:12.820 through this window of opportunity but it's still going to be tough. 02:07:12.820 --> 02:07:15.100 You've got two defenders on both sides of the map still. 02:07:15.100 --> 02:07:16.700 The bomb is going for an A finish. 02:07:16.700 --> 02:07:19.620 It's Nissen next because they doubled up and Dona noting Satsun can wrap in. 02:07:19.620 --> 02:07:21.420 12 seconds now on the clock. 02:07:21.420 --> 02:07:24.620 Smoke is going to fade soon and Nissen's behind it. 02:07:24.620 --> 02:07:27.100 Janna's ready for the fade. 02:07:27.100 --> 02:07:31.180 Now Hypex going in to address the issue of the sighting overtake him and he gets spammed 02:07:31.180 --> 02:07:34.380 out by Satsun, spraying away, trying to get a second. 02:07:34.380 --> 02:07:38.780 He's taking some damage on board but that fight is all important for PR, putting Satsun 02:07:38.780 --> 02:07:43.380 in a 1v3 with 21 HP. 02:07:43.380 --> 02:07:44.380 Steps out of the smoke. 02:07:44.380 --> 02:07:47.860 kill is good on PR. Now they know where he was last spotted but he could go 02:07:47.860 --> 02:07:50.980 anywhere into the donut. Bombs not plated for donut he's got to be careful 02:07:50.980 --> 02:07:53.780 he doesn't have an angle flip and now he's got a Molotov. They don't have smokes here 02:07:53.780 --> 02:07:57.420 at least for GamerLegion and into the opening go for the peek and he's dropped 02:07:57.420 --> 02:08:01.360 out by snacks so GamerLegion recovered around PR with an all-important 02:08:01.360 --> 02:08:05.780 fry against R to that site and it'll be GamerLegion confirming the round victory. 02:08:05.780 --> 02:08:08.860 And the real nightmare is now due to the damage in the previous round with the 02:08:08.860 --> 02:08:12.340 P250s with the Deagles at the A bombsite the stack that GamerLegion was able to 02:08:12.340 --> 02:08:16.340 put in place the four kills they were able to get. There's no money for Legacy to 02:08:16.340 --> 02:08:22.100 continue their effort to continue this campaign. Three in a row and you're kind 02:08:22.100 --> 02:08:25.580 of in a situation where you have to save or go for a really really rough force 02:08:25.580 --> 02:08:31.720 buy. Tough decision for Legacy to make. It is their third and final time out. No 02:08:31.720 --> 02:08:37.380 chance for them to stop the action and take a breather later on. And they are 02:08:37.380 --> 02:08:41.020 gonna shove all in. They are gonna buy up here. Tech nines, full utility, Nissan 02:08:41.020 --> 02:08:48.020 goes for the Khalil, one rifle for legacy in this round 17. 02:08:48.020 --> 02:09:06.020 And a win here for Gamer Legion gives them a stranglehold on this opening map of the semifinals. 02:09:06.020 --> 02:09:07.020 Off they go. 02:09:07.020 --> 02:09:10.020 Straight up into the B lane, you've got Lato trying to get in behind the flames. 02:09:10.020 --> 02:09:17.020 behind the flames, the smoke used, so he can get towards Jaguar early and throw down the Molotov to prevent some aggression from the CT side, 02:09:17.020 --> 02:09:24.020 but Talcin, gotta be careful, pulls out utility, now gets the right fall, and then run them down, he sprays away and he only gets the 1 kill, 02:09:24.020 --> 02:09:29.020 but stepping in his rest, he gets traded as well, and like I see was some success getting into the B bomb site. 02:09:29.020 --> 02:09:35.020 Those are some critical trades that Dumau gets, really nicely done, otherwise they're stuck behind the smoke and getting mowed down. 02:09:35.020 --> 02:09:36.240 is going to try and get a wider angle. 02:09:36.240 --> 02:09:39.880 Dumau has fallen low HP, Molotov forces him into the open. 02:09:39.880 --> 02:09:41.840 Snacks gets him all. 02:09:41.840 --> 02:09:43.680 No need for a retake. 02:09:43.680 --> 02:09:44.960 Oh, Snacks got away with that. 02:09:44.960 --> 02:09:46.600 Like, one player came in through a jagged. 02:09:46.600 --> 02:09:48.280 It looked like he was dead to rights, right? 02:09:48.280 --> 02:09:50.120 He's focused on the site players. 02:09:50.120 --> 02:09:52.680 Snacks is able to not only react to that player coming forward 02:09:52.680 --> 02:09:54.800 into the cave, but also the other two in the site. 02:09:54.800 --> 02:09:55.640 Yeah, great awareness. 02:09:55.640 --> 02:09:56.960 All that experience as well. 02:09:56.960 --> 02:09:58.120 Snacks is very comfortable. 02:09:58.120 --> 02:09:58.720 Smoke pops. 02:09:58.720 --> 02:09:59.680 If Dumau doesn't get that trade, 02:09:59.680 --> 02:10:00.960 the round's pretty much done. 02:10:00.960 --> 02:10:03.680 This one's a thing of beauty as well before Res can survive. 02:10:03.680 --> 02:10:05.720 opens up the opportunity for danger. 02:10:05.720 --> 02:10:08.600 And Snacks just understood the situation the whole time. 02:10:08.600 --> 02:10:11.760 No one had shown from Cave, no one had shown from Jaguar, 02:10:11.760 --> 02:10:13.680 so he knew there was going to be at least one. 02:10:17.840 --> 02:10:19.120 And much like the first half, 02:10:19.120 --> 02:10:21.480 Legacy just so quickly run out of resources 02:10:21.480 --> 02:10:22.920 after a couple of losses. 02:10:24.640 --> 02:10:27.120 Oh, desperate, faster play from two now, 02:10:27.120 --> 02:10:30.080 charging out of oboe, and dying at Thodun. 02:10:30.920 --> 02:10:32.520 We got Snacks getting aggressive as well 02:10:32.520 --> 02:10:34.920 to try to slow down this Keysight attack through me. 02:10:36.120 --> 02:10:38.920 And really stole it out now, but Art trying to get it going again. 02:10:38.920 --> 02:10:42.120 He's found a headshot on PR through that smoke break at Donut. 02:10:42.120 --> 02:10:44.280 Hey, Medumal both died for 16 kills. 02:10:44.280 --> 02:10:45.880 Hypex can't hit the flick. 02:10:45.880 --> 02:10:47.880 Not too concerned at the moment, they just saw one, 02:10:47.880 --> 02:10:49.520 but Donut was pressured. 02:10:49.520 --> 02:10:51.280 So Talcin's gonna feel a little uncomfortable 02:10:51.280 --> 02:10:52.520 as he pushes in towards Donut, 02:10:52.520 --> 02:10:54.440 and now the defense, or the offense, excuse me, 02:10:54.440 --> 02:10:55.280 wraps around the map. 02:10:55.280 --> 02:10:57.080 Snacks is gonna push up and meet them. 02:10:57.920 --> 02:10:59.040 Bitch, spray away. 02:10:59.040 --> 02:11:00.520 It's gonna be one from Snacks. 02:11:00.520 --> 02:11:02.120 Art to trade it. 02:11:02.120 --> 02:11:07.620 And only 2v3 as somehow legacy have got the advantage in this situation, but he don't have the best of weapons. 02:11:07.620 --> 02:11:08.820 He's still got a lot of time though. 02:11:08.820 --> 02:11:13.720 No, but this is perfect. You have to slow it down because the strength of this round right now is the positioning of Nyssen. 02:11:13.720 --> 02:11:18.020 He can gather information for you, he can backstab, he can cut off someone just kind of wandering through, 02:11:18.020 --> 02:11:20.720 not realizing that he's made it, that he slipped past the defense. 02:11:20.720 --> 02:11:23.420 Only issue is, he's only got a glock. 02:11:23.420 --> 02:11:26.220 So he better be damn good when he gets his opportunity. 02:11:26.220 --> 02:11:29.620 And it's gonna be Taliesin stepping forward first. He clears it though. 02:11:29.620 --> 02:11:31.220 Nicely done, Taliesin. 02:11:31.220 --> 02:11:33.300 Right, clear. Now, into the site. 02:11:33.300 --> 02:11:35.660 Art has given them a chance with a 2K in this round. 02:11:35.660 --> 02:11:38.620 Maybe he can get even more, but only on 5 HP. 02:11:38.620 --> 02:11:40.220 It's unlikely. 02:11:40.220 --> 02:11:43.060 He steps into the open, but he actually makes it back around the corner 02:11:43.060 --> 02:11:44.980 and gets information on Towson. 02:11:44.980 --> 02:11:48.420 There's some utility available here for Game Illusion and two kits. 02:11:48.420 --> 02:11:50.540 We're going to start tossing out that U-Till. 02:11:50.540 --> 02:11:52.180 Art's going a long way around. 02:11:52.180 --> 02:11:53.660 He's hoping they take a few seconds, 02:11:53.660 --> 02:11:55.540 but they're getting into position immediately. 02:11:55.540 --> 02:11:58.940 That defuse is tapped, not being committed to until this point. 02:11:58.940 --> 02:12:04.180 Smoky's up, Cloud covered down, sticking it all the way, Art is arrived, but he won't peak out in time. 02:12:04.180 --> 02:12:07.740 He won't chase the outcome of this round, despite a decent effort. 02:12:07.740 --> 02:12:13.020 And it won't be another one through GamerLegion, pushing them closer and closer to Rounding Outmap 1. 02:12:13.020 --> 02:12:17.020 Yeah, GamerLegion just handled every single situation that's been thrown at them. 02:12:17.020 --> 02:12:22.780 Any little piece of trickery, any great sequence from a legacy player, they've been able to recover and respond to all of it. 02:12:22.780 --> 02:12:24.860 Again, good starts in both halves for legacy. 02:12:24.860 --> 02:12:28.540 Three out of four to start the first half, three straight to start the second half. 02:12:28.540 --> 02:12:33.540 But from that point, it's all Gamer Legion. Guns come out and they're just the superior squad. 02:12:33.540 --> 02:12:36.540 And that's all there really is to say here on Ancient Sofar. 02:12:37.540 --> 02:12:45.540 Drew Mal. This is trying to get out through elbow, but GameBlock, so great utility here from Gamer Legion to just slow them down to the choke points. 02:12:45.540 --> 02:12:54.540 Flash is coming through, really trying to combat this, but I guess he's not able to get any situation where they're able to drop a member of Gamer Legion's defense. 02:12:54.540 --> 02:13:01.140 Right through the snark, Snax just continues, smoke fades in red room, there's two defenders here to challenge, Dumao steps up to the plate. 02:13:01.140 --> 02:13:07.540 He's gonna give it a good go here towards Red, but Rez is in a good spot in that corner, peeking out, good reaction from Dumao. 02:13:07.540 --> 02:13:11.540 He was anticipating a swing from the potential player at Red as well. 02:13:12.540 --> 02:13:15.540 He's gonna back off, 30 HP left to his knee. 02:13:15.540 --> 02:13:22.340 Then at 5 on the clock, Snax is just having a masterful game right now. 02:13:22.340 --> 02:13:28.140 He's just moving forward, 20th kill picked up, Towson at PR at Tandem, and that's it, cleaned up. 02:13:28.140 --> 02:13:33.140 Gamelidge in a rich map point, and despite legacy winning both pistol rounds, 02:13:33.140 --> 02:13:37.540 it's not enough to keep them competitive for any real structure this game. 02:13:37.540 --> 02:13:41.740 Gamelidge has been so good, even if legacy gets some kills and you create an opening, 02:13:41.740 --> 02:13:44.540 I mean, Gamelidge has been so good at dropping a smoke, dropping a Molotov, 02:13:44.540 --> 02:13:52.540 Molotov comes in, holds him at bay, so at that point you're not getting a whole lot off of the frags that you're gaining. 02:13:52.540 --> 02:13:55.540 And then Gamer Legion is just kind of stepping forward in themselves, you know, taking the fights. 02:13:55.540 --> 02:13:58.540 They're taking the initiative. Wild Legacy is frozen on the map. 02:13:58.540 --> 02:14:02.540 Five chances for Gamer Legion to win the opening map of this semi-finals. 02:14:04.540 --> 02:14:10.540 Hypex scope is out and ready. Art gonna get boosted up and quicker shot from Art. 02:14:10.540 --> 02:14:13.540 Hypex nearly got to the angle but couldn't quite. 02:14:13.540 --> 02:14:18.040 And now they're sending utility over towards the site, that NAVE is going to land right on top of PR. 02:14:18.040 --> 02:14:20.040 Half his health gone over half. 02:14:20.040 --> 02:14:26.040 In fact, but the bomb is ready for what is going to be a B-plight, which means pressure to Snacks has been fantastic. 02:14:26.040 --> 02:14:30.540 Old map long. Now, if he has a big performance here, it'll close the map out. 02:14:30.540 --> 02:14:34.540 Yeah, and they can't go through that smoke. It's too deep. It's too hard to find a clean fight on the other side of that one. 02:14:34.540 --> 02:14:36.040 So I think they're going to be held at bay. 02:14:36.040 --> 02:14:40.040 Meanwhile, this is giving time for Gamer Legion to figure things out. Start pushing towards middle. 02:14:40.040 --> 02:14:43.760 middle, orchestrate how you want to play the mid-round, going to shrink the map a little 02:14:43.760 --> 02:14:47.040 bit and they're going to understand when any utility flies into the B bomb site, Snax 02:14:47.040 --> 02:14:50.080 is now playing retake to survive. 02:14:50.080 --> 02:14:56.040 Talcid and Rez will be really tough to deal with on the flanks. 02:14:56.040 --> 02:15:02.320 Rez fighting Dumao range but not able to connect the shot so it is like you see to pick up the 02:15:02.320 --> 02:15:04.720 advantages required to try and get into the site. 02:15:04.720 --> 02:15:05.720 Can Snax step up? 02:15:05.720 --> 02:15:06.720 No. 02:15:06.720 --> 02:15:11.720 The answer is he gets taken down, and PR doing what he can through the smoke, at least one frag. 02:15:11.720 --> 02:15:14.720 But there's no way a legacy can see this. 02:15:14.720 --> 02:15:16.720 You get a prolonged play. 02:15:18.720 --> 02:15:22.720 Great fight win from Dumau. He's the one that puts a stop to Res on the flank. 02:15:22.720 --> 02:15:26.720 And Talc's not even motivated to step forward and test it. They've got money behind them, 02:15:26.720 --> 02:15:30.720 but it's going to start running low, so prioritizing the weapons and the economy, 02:15:30.720 --> 02:15:42.000 legacy stay alive by themselves another round of play 12 to 8 02:15:49.720 --> 02:15:53.360 and some of this is legacy kind of playing themselves into the game art has 02:15:53.360 --> 02:15:56.840 19 kills do mouth has 18 those guys have been stellar starts to finish everyone 02:15:56.840 --> 02:15:59.640 else has been a little bit quiet kind of like we saw it when we saw the game 02:15:59.640 --> 02:16:03.120 yesterday where hypex was carrying them through some tough stretches legacy 02:16:03.120 --> 02:16:06.080 right now it's art and do now trying to keep them alive in this and hoping your 02:16:06.080 --> 02:16:10.040 off of sadson can wake up hoping Lato can wake up your top performer of this 02:16:10.040 --> 02:16:13.400 event so far if you're on the legacy side you're looking for them to start 02:16:13.400 --> 02:16:18.600 having impact if you want to tie things up and force it over time and time I'll 02:16:18.600 --> 02:16:23.280 take in from gamer legion their final buy before money is really in a weird 02:16:23.280 --> 02:16:28.420 place so a conversation how they want to play this how this is gonna be set up 02:16:28.420 --> 02:16:34.420 And probably emphasizing the idea of saving a couple weapons if the opportunity is there. 02:16:34.420 --> 02:16:37.420 Don't let everything get taken away. 02:16:44.420 --> 02:16:48.420 Legacy's taken the first of five steps. 02:16:48.420 --> 02:16:52.420 Coming back here on Ancient, their map pick is up next. 02:16:52.420 --> 02:16:55.420 That would be Mirage. 02:16:55.420 --> 02:16:58.420 But at the moment, not done fighting on Ancient. 02:17:05.420 --> 02:17:11.420 The problem is, to Legacy, even after winning a round, we've still got a mountain of cash to fight against. 02:17:11.420 --> 02:17:15.420 So Gamelige has to purchase up, and it's a good buy, but there's snacks going down first. 02:17:15.420 --> 02:17:18.420 Much better here from Legacy. Fantastic openings. 02:17:18.420 --> 02:17:21.420 And now Pjarnjil are getting caught in the open. 02:17:21.420 --> 02:17:25.420 They're hunting there, but they're walking right into the AWP, so the trap was laid, 02:17:25.420 --> 02:17:29.420 but that's information, two players towards Gona, and how do they react to that? 02:17:29.420 --> 02:17:34.420 I'm surprised you mouse swung so aggressively on that end of 5-on-3, especially with no one else at elbow following it up. 02:17:34.420 --> 02:17:39.420 He didn't have a single teammate there to attempt to trade any of those kills, so Gibbs won back, and Lato has softened up. 02:17:39.420 --> 02:17:43.420 Game religion not out of this fight just yet, but like I said, because their money is gone now, 02:17:43.420 --> 02:17:45.420 this had to have been the conversation in the timeout. 02:17:45.420 --> 02:17:49.420 If we get beat up on the entries, if we find ourselves in a disadvantaged situation, 02:17:49.420 --> 02:17:51.860 Set up one of the bomb sites so that we can just save there. 02:17:51.860 --> 02:17:54.460 You see Hypex and Towson doubling up over towards B. 02:17:55.740 --> 02:17:58.500 If PR senses the chance, he's going to slide over as well, 02:17:58.500 --> 02:18:00.580 and they'll just say, if you finish here, that's great. 02:18:00.580 --> 02:18:01.740 We have a chance at winning the round. 02:18:01.740 --> 02:18:04.140 If not, we save, and we have another buy moving forward. 02:18:07.740 --> 02:18:09.860 So if Art and Legacy don't change their mind, 02:18:09.860 --> 02:18:13.140 they're going to waltz in for another free round, a ninth round. 02:18:17.420 --> 02:18:18.500 And I let, I apologize. 02:18:18.500 --> 02:18:20.860 I never checked with you guys before this all got started. 02:18:20.860 --> 02:18:22.740 Can I just get a sense of this? 02:18:22.740 --> 02:18:24.580 Is the crowd out there rooting for Gamer Legion? 02:18:24.580 --> 02:18:26.380 Is that who you guys want to win this one? 02:18:26.380 --> 02:18:27.380 Yeah! 02:18:27.380 --> 02:18:28.380 Yeah! 02:18:28.380 --> 02:18:29.380 Yeah! 02:18:29.380 --> 02:18:30.380 Yeah! 02:18:30.380 --> 02:18:31.380 Yeah! 02:18:31.380 --> 02:18:32.380 Yeah! 02:18:32.380 --> 02:18:33.380 Yeah! 02:18:33.380 --> 02:18:34.380 Yeah! 02:18:34.380 --> 02:18:35.380 Yeah! 02:18:35.380 --> 02:18:36.380 Yeah! 02:18:36.380 --> 02:18:37.380 Yeah! 02:18:37.380 --> 02:18:38.380 Yeah! 02:18:38.380 --> 02:18:39.380 Yeah! 02:18:39.380 --> 02:18:40.380 Yeah! 02:18:40.380 --> 02:18:41.380 Yeah! 02:18:41.380 --> 02:18:42.380 Yeah! 02:18:42.380 --> 02:18:43.380 Yeah! 02:18:43.380 --> 02:18:44.380 Yeah! 02:18:44.380 --> 02:18:45.380 Yeah! 02:18:45.380 --> 02:18:46.380 Yeah! 02:18:46.380 --> 02:18:51.380 Yeah, they get it very clear. 02:18:51.380 --> 02:18:54.380 Oh, Cameron Legion, definitely looking like they're eventually going to round this out. 02:18:54.380 --> 02:18:57.380 But great to see Legacy finding some life yet. 02:18:57.380 --> 02:19:00.380 I'm just rolling over and letting this one close. 02:19:00.380 --> 02:19:02.380 Mirage is up next. 02:19:02.380 --> 02:19:08.380 So, Legacy, if he can play themselves into this, obviously expecting to be a lot more competitive on that second map. 02:19:08.380 --> 02:19:12.380 You know, it's great to see Art committed this team and actually performed with Legacy. 02:19:12.380 --> 02:19:15.380 It was a huge question mark, right? Like, how was he going to change? 02:19:15.380 --> 02:19:19.220 is this place are going to change. It was interesting from both sides too because legacy, 02:19:19.220 --> 02:19:23.220 their initial rise was like marks by Lux joining that team and taking up the in-game leader 02:19:23.220 --> 02:19:26.820 duty so it was kind of surprising to see that change happen. It kind of came out of left 02:19:26.820 --> 02:19:28.020 field that felt from the outside. 02:19:28.020 --> 02:19:32.140 In 1CAC, they got through another final group arrest where they nearly were able to take 02:19:32.140 --> 02:19:35.780 down Aurora. So there was a lot of positive signs about this legacy squad. Obviously, it 02:19:35.780 --> 02:19:40.100 went downhill towards the end of the season and starting off 2026. But, you know, for 02:19:40.100 --> 02:19:44.860 legacy, I thought this might be a move that would just be a sideways move. It's actually 02:19:44.860 --> 02:19:48.240 somehow kept him competitive if not better so at least got him back to this 02:19:48.240 --> 02:19:51.500 competitive nature yeah so it's great to see that and we'll see if they can 02:19:51.500 --> 02:19:55.940 continue it here in this series 12 to 9 not done yet but here come game of 02:19:55.940 --> 02:20:00.420 leech and still able to scrap together a good buy here I guess he's gonna be 02:20:00.420 --> 02:20:04.660 challenging out mid do now charging out fearless as he gets towards the bottom 02:20:04.660 --> 02:20:11.460 boxes okay who step over the smoke this is a good shot for a kill he are a little 02:20:11.460 --> 02:20:13.460 It's a little bit cheesy, but he's got Doom out down. 02:20:13.460 --> 02:20:16.460 That's the main instigator for Legacy. 02:20:16.460 --> 02:20:18.460 18 kills, no longer in play. 02:20:20.460 --> 02:20:23.460 And neither is Nism. Snacks again through the smoke. 02:20:23.460 --> 02:20:25.460 Had a lot of those in this half, hasn't he, Snacks? 02:20:25.460 --> 02:20:27.460 A wall bang, a smoke kill. 02:20:27.460 --> 02:20:30.460 And now Legacy fighting for the light here on this map. 02:20:30.460 --> 02:20:32.460 They're trying to come back into it. 02:20:32.460 --> 02:20:35.460 Artin's adding a decent job, but they've got a deal with Bres. 02:20:35.460 --> 02:20:37.460 And Bres is still standing, looking to round this map out. 02:20:37.460 --> 02:20:41.460 This map out in favor of Gamerly's race, and he fought both of them! 02:20:41.460 --> 02:20:50.460 So easy for Rez, a 13-9 win for Gamerly on this first map, and she continues to beat her strikes. 02:21:37.460 --> 02:22:00.260 I 02:22:00.260 --> 02:22:06.580 welcome to the Jason Rogan experience as a man obviously who's very obsessed with what 02:22:06.580 --> 02:22:10.100 he puts into his body being that my body is a temple. I'm excited to have you here because 02:22:10.100 --> 02:22:15.540 we obviously get to talk to someone who's been so good in terms of not aging. How have 02:22:15.540 --> 02:22:18.020 you managed to stay so long as the young veteran? 02:22:18.020 --> 02:22:23.620 I mean, I think I put a lot of effort in my health and keep my face really young as it 02:22:23.620 --> 02:22:24.620 is. 02:22:24.620 --> 02:22:25.620 I can tell. 02:22:25.620 --> 02:22:32.300 Yeah. So I think a big part of it is probably my resident here in Sweden, living in Sweden, 02:22:32.300 --> 02:22:37.900 to stay away from the sunlight as much as possible, staying indoors, playing a lot online tournaments, 02:22:37.900 --> 02:22:43.340 like I don't try to go out ever, almost. I stay inside, keep away from the sun to keep myself 02:22:43.340 --> 02:22:47.420 young. It's an interesting strategy too, because a lot of people try and qualify to stay in more 02:22:47.420 --> 02:22:51.260 events and go deeper in tournaments, but you're sitting there like you can you can lengthen your 02:22:51.260 --> 02:22:56.140 career if you just don't go deep into the playoffs. Yeah, I don't understand why people don't focus 02:22:56.140 --> 02:23:00.060 more on this. This is like the most important thing in life, I think, is looking young. And 02:23:00.060 --> 02:23:01.640 and they're putting a lot of mileage on their bodies. 02:23:01.640 --> 02:23:03.380 A mileage you obviously don't have to carry with you, 02:23:03.380 --> 02:23:04.220 which is great. 02:23:04.220 --> 02:23:06.580 Yeah, I think this is the most important part of me. 02:23:06.580 --> 02:23:07.860 Like this is what defines me. 02:23:07.860 --> 02:23:09.220 Can we talk about diet a little bit? 02:23:09.220 --> 02:23:11.380 Cause out here in Sweden, obviously you guys have, 02:23:11.380 --> 02:23:12.780 you guys have this beautiful land 02:23:12.780 --> 02:23:15.700 and known for your most meat. 02:23:15.700 --> 02:23:17.500 That's an important point actually. 02:23:17.500 --> 02:23:19.940 I think I usually go on weekends 02:23:19.940 --> 02:23:21.900 for after we play our online qualifiers. 02:23:21.900 --> 02:23:24.140 I used to go out hunting with my friends. 02:23:24.140 --> 02:23:27.540 That's a big part of like keeping my body as it is. 02:23:27.540 --> 02:23:28.380 Right. 02:23:28.380 --> 02:23:29.660 Now talk to me a little bit about the whole, 02:23:29.660 --> 02:23:33.920 the whole fish thing. You guys have this fermented fish. I imagine that has to do something 02:23:33.920 --> 02:23:37.160 with keeping the skin clear all that fish oil. You don't even take the supplement. You just 02:23:37.160 --> 02:23:42.560 get it right from the can. No, I go to the sea. Really? Yes. I fish straight from the 02:23:42.560 --> 02:23:48.040 source and I eat it raw. That's beautiful. That's perfect. Okay. I like it. Now, I would 02:23:48.040 --> 02:23:51.480 say like for me, have you ever looked into like stem cells? For me, like I'm really 02:23:51.480 --> 02:23:55.560 a big fan, a big proponent of stem cells and big proponent of the ice bath in the morning. 02:23:55.560 --> 02:23:58.940 You're talking about the moose meat. I've had that as well. All of this seems to just 02:23:58.940 --> 02:24:02.180 do great stuff for for keeping the longevity of what you're of how you're 02:24:02.180 --> 02:24:05.180 looking young which is something that you've been able to accomplish stem cells 02:24:05.180 --> 02:24:10.140 I don't believe in that that much I would say I would say it's probably just 02:24:10.140 --> 02:24:14.480 the the Sweden Swedish atmosphere is all you need now one thing one thing that 02:24:14.480 --> 02:24:17.140 I've heard that this is this has been a little bit of a conspiracy but one of 02:24:17.140 --> 02:24:20.220 the I wanted to talk to you about it you've you've been and you were in the 02:24:20.220 --> 02:24:23.980 NIP roster for so long while Swedish Counter-Strike was struggling to bring 02:24:23.980 --> 02:24:28.140 in new players and new people now I've heard that there's that you have some 02:24:28.140 --> 02:24:33.500 kind of a thing going on where you actually kind of take the the power the life force of the younger 02:24:33.500 --> 02:24:39.180 Swedish players coming up to the scene to make yourself a little bit more powerful and longevity. 02:24:40.860 --> 02:24:46.540 Like I when I play with young players I try to always the first thing I look at when I get a new 02:24:46.540 --> 02:24:51.740 young projie in my team is like how do they keep themselves young. And if you take that away from 02:24:51.740 --> 02:24:55.820 them then all of a sudden you will get to reap all the rewards. Yeah of course that's the I think 02:24:55.820 --> 02:24:58.140 I think that's the point of everything and for my cure. 02:24:58.140 --> 02:24:59.420 Well, that's beautiful. 02:24:59.420 --> 02:25:00.380 I think you've done a great job. 02:25:00.380 --> 02:25:01.260 Thank you. Keep going. 02:25:01.260 --> 02:25:02.780 Keep it up. Stay young. 02:25:02.780 --> 02:25:03.180 I will. 02:25:22.220 --> 02:25:25.260 Legacy with a valiant effort to be opening up this series, 02:25:25.260 --> 02:25:32.120 but the solid results for game religion on ancient just keep on coming snacks and towels and they were truly coming alive during the game 02:25:32.120 --> 02:25:35.620 But who else could it be Yanco other than res to close this one out? 02:25:35.780 --> 02:25:43.600 Yeah, definitely so and I think even the game was more dominant in game religions favorite than the store showed right legacy winning both pistols 02:25:43.600 --> 02:25:46.500 That's the only reason why they were and they were close 02:25:46.900 --> 02:25:51.080 In this game and when it came to the gun rounds game religion just much much better 02:25:51.080 --> 02:25:55.740 They were very well prepared. We talked about the aggression that was going to come in from legacy 02:25:55.740 --> 02:26:02.380 and you could tell they knew how to counter it and weren't caught by surprise by any of the moves the legacy was going. 02:26:02.380 --> 02:26:07.880 You also just saw the contrast in how things were going for them on that CT side. Sure, Gamer Legion were losing rounds. 02:26:07.880 --> 02:26:16.380 Legacy were coming back into the game, but when Gamer Legion were on that attack, they did such a good job of actually shutting those rounds out before Legacy could even really properly consider retakes. 02:26:16.380 --> 02:26:19.400 They're either getting gunned down on the roadside or they just felt like they had no 02:26:19.720 --> 02:26:22.380 Assets really to get a foothold back onto those bomb sites 02:26:22.380 --> 02:26:25.740 Game Legion on CT almost always had a way back into round 02:26:25.740 --> 02:26:28.460 And when we look at the team side to begin with the game Legion as well 02:26:28.620 --> 02:26:31.220 Seven in a row totally to eight to close things out 02:26:31.220 --> 02:26:34.020 You mean you kind of in for a bad time if you like I see off to that 02:26:34.020 --> 02:26:39.640 I mean this it was just there were a lot of these high impact moments that occurred through the game that you know 02:26:39.640 --> 02:26:43.540 Have they gone the other way maybe legacy would have been more convincing on their gun rounds 02:26:43.540 --> 02:26:46.340 but they just seemed a little discombobulated. 02:26:46.340 --> 02:26:49.940 They didn't seem as though they wanted to actually actively fight for mid 02:26:49.940 --> 02:26:54.020 as much as Gamer Legion did in so many of their defensive rounds 02:26:54.020 --> 02:26:58.660 that it did sometimes feel as though Gamer Legion had their way with the rest of the map. 02:26:59.220 --> 02:27:01.540 They're playing with a lot of swagger right now, Gamer Legion. 02:27:01.540 --> 02:27:03.300 I think they have a ton of confidence, right? 02:27:03.300 --> 02:27:06.340 Like that even if things go wrong, they're off to a slow start. 02:27:06.340 --> 02:27:09.700 Like the playbook is there, the answers are there for them to come up with. 02:27:09.700 --> 02:27:14.420 and also the players just individually, you know, going for plays, taking initiative, 02:27:15.140 --> 02:27:18.180 not being scared, and they're delivering in crunch time. 02:27:18.180 --> 02:27:22.260 Should we go back to the moment where they kind of began that streak of two side rounds? 02:27:22.260 --> 02:27:23.780 We've got round five, what are you looking at here? 02:27:23.780 --> 02:27:27.460 Yeah, I think it was huge, because as we said, legacy one, pistol, right, 02:27:27.460 --> 02:27:30.900 they lose the first gun round, but then they get the reset on game religion, 02:27:30.900 --> 02:27:36.100 and this is their final buy, highbacks with the AWP, Dumau finds two kills here, gets traded, 02:27:36.100 --> 02:27:40.680 So still a 4v3 for legacy in good position. You can see snacks in Taosun only have pistols. 02:27:40.680 --> 02:27:45.180 Snacks doesn't even have armor and now after these trades it's just a 1v3 02:27:45.820 --> 02:27:49.280 4 Taosun, right? It looks like okay, they have it unlocked. He does have the bomb 02:27:50.000 --> 02:27:56.280 Here you can see him get rid of Nismd and Sazin unable to get the trade and now it's a lot of in a 1v1 02:27:56.280 --> 02:28:00.140 A really tough one because he's so out of position and he does have a smoke in a kit 02:28:00.140 --> 02:28:02.140 But Taosun isn't gonna let him 02:28:02.140 --> 02:28:08.140 use that right and wins the round in a huge moment which flips the half and the economy on its head. 02:28:08.140 --> 02:28:18.140 You've got such an audacious position in that spot as well, in the 1v1 open to everything but also wanted to cover everything and just knew as well that he could have nestled himself away into a corner 02:28:18.140 --> 02:28:20.140 and Lato is going to have to consider that as an option too. 02:28:20.140 --> 02:28:27.140 You know the casters were talking about the two for the side of legacy. I mean Art and Duma are a great job but where was everyone else? 02:28:27.140 --> 02:28:33.540 And when you see, you know, Sazin and Lato or Nisman Lato in that round, you know, you're thinking, 02:28:33.540 --> 02:28:36.140 man, you just have to get that trade, you just have to do better. 02:28:36.140 --> 02:28:39.940 Even the final round, how is he alive? How is he not dead? 02:28:39.940 --> 02:28:46.740 How is Lato just getting him, you know, on the AK and you can talk about tactics and everything a lot, 02:28:46.740 --> 02:28:53.340 but if you're that much off in your aim and just your individual level, like, you're gonna have a rough day. 02:28:53.340 --> 02:28:56.740 It's also just totally different to the win conditions from Legacy before. 02:28:56.740 --> 02:29:00.500 I mean coming out of the group stage, you know, you didn't see the missile on those trades. You wouldn't see 02:29:00.900 --> 02:29:07.380 Those failed opportunities in the same way. I I do think that that 3v1 rattled legacy in a way that 02:29:07.940 --> 02:29:12.340 We didn't get to see that type of I guess underperformance from them so far this tournament 02:29:12.340 --> 02:29:16.340 I mean, I kind of don't blame them right because you miss that trading opportunity in mid and they say okay 02:29:16.340 --> 02:29:20.660 It comes down to a 1v1 that arguably should have never been like that's enough to kind of tilt you 02:29:20.660 --> 02:29:25.220 But if you're talking about legacy you would expect them to have somewhat of a bounce back in that first half 02:29:25.220 --> 02:29:26.420 and it was just nothing. 02:29:26.420 --> 02:29:29.860 Well, I think we also free-faced it before the series, right? 02:29:29.860 --> 02:29:31.220 Like, their ancient stats are... 02:29:31.220 --> 02:29:32.980 It's worse than the stats show, right? 02:29:32.980 --> 02:29:35.860 The wins come against lower tier opposition in Brazil. 02:29:35.860 --> 02:29:38.580 Like, they struggled against teams in Europe. 02:29:38.580 --> 02:29:41.460 And I think this is the benefit of being the high seed, right? 02:29:41.460 --> 02:29:44.180 Like, you get your opponents map first, 02:29:45.060 --> 02:29:47.140 the ancients was always going to be tough for them to win, 02:29:47.140 --> 02:29:48.660 and they get to warm up a little bit. 02:29:48.660 --> 02:29:52.260 Like, if Saad's in, Nissen continue to play on this level, 02:29:52.260 --> 02:29:54.420 you know, on Mirage, I mean, legacy are done. 02:29:54.420 --> 02:30:00.080 But hopefully this was enough of a warm-up, maybe get some of the nerves we're playing on the stage out of their system, right? 02:30:00.080 --> 02:30:04.880 It's been a while for them where now they can go into Mirage with more confidence to sort of show us 02:30:05.160 --> 02:30:07.760 some of the level that we've seen from them in the group. 02:30:07.760 --> 02:30:12.240 In some senses as well, you could give them a bit of a pass because this is also the map they've 13-1 Navi on, 02:30:12.240 --> 02:30:13.160 you brought that up before. 02:30:13.160 --> 02:30:17.680 It was, you know, we might actually have to start respecting the game of Legion ancient as, you know, 02:30:17.680 --> 02:30:21.360 one of these pocket picks that they can go to when they really need it in this deepened series. 02:30:21.360 --> 02:30:25.860 And it feels like every time we're bringing up Gamer Legion, it's always a different individual to be popping off this time. 02:30:25.860 --> 02:30:32.060 Obviously, Snacks was having a share in numbers as well, but Tausen as well, obviously, in this clutch moment that really turned the tide of a game. 02:30:32.060 --> 02:30:33.860 He was just firing off this map. 02:30:33.860 --> 02:30:40.860 That 1v3 was worth its weight in gold, right, because in these moments on stage, like, it's very important to stabilize. 02:30:40.860 --> 02:30:44.360 It also gives everyone something to cheer for and be hyped about on the team, right? 02:30:44.360 --> 02:30:51.360 It's just such a momentum changer around like that and it really added fuel to the fire for Gamer League. 02:30:51.360 --> 02:30:59.360 He was also getting so many of these kills supplementary to retakes, to the executions, whether or not it was the actual entry or not. 02:30:59.360 --> 02:31:05.360 His impact was felt and kind of reverberated in these rounds far more than some of the kills that Snax got. 02:31:05.360 --> 02:31:10.360 I think he had a few more empty calories, but Snax is always going to demand a certain level of respect. 02:31:10.360 --> 02:31:14.500 respect and he actually coming with some big rounds individually just towards 02:31:14.500 --> 02:31:19.120 the end of the game. It's not an empty calories name a better deal. 02:31:19.120 --> 02:31:23.180 He's still out there, he's still doing it at a great CT side as well with some 02:31:23.180 --> 02:31:27.860 multi-kills you know from cave dancing around it, right a huge uptick in 02:31:27.860 --> 02:31:32.500 performance on this map compared to how he was doing at the Holy Land. Well hopefully 02:31:32.500 --> 02:31:36.620 a better duo if you're just a fan of you know Marathon series could be legacy 02:31:36.620 --> 02:31:39.980 and Noraj. What's the story of these guys on this particular map why have they 02:31:39.980 --> 02:31:44.540 voted into the series. I think it just suits their players more, right? Like there's more 02:31:44.540 --> 02:31:50.300 opportunity for playmaking. It isn't as constrained as ancient where you know there's a lot going 02:31:50.300 --> 02:31:55.180 on in terms of these early smoke fights, fighting for mid, you know just reactionary plays. Here 02:31:55.180 --> 02:32:00.300 you can take your time a little bit more, take away space from your opponents and then also change 02:32:00.300 --> 02:32:05.580 the momentum, right? With some hits that are for sure going to come in from the side of legacy. 02:32:05.580 --> 02:32:09.900 There's also the perspective of as they've built into the season, this is a map that they 02:32:09.900 --> 02:32:14.300 They have heavily tested Na'Vi on it pro league, they, I think, re-encountered them at Bucharest 02:32:14.300 --> 02:32:15.300 as well. 02:32:15.300 --> 02:32:18.900 They beat Paravision at Bucharest, rather, as well, on this map. 02:32:18.900 --> 02:32:24.420 So, in terms of reputation and their ability to punch up into international competition, 02:32:24.420 --> 02:32:28.580 Dust2 is definitely their best at that, but Mirage is not too far just in a second. 02:32:28.580 --> 02:32:31.900 Okay, so you're telling me that there is hope that this could still be a competitive series. 02:32:31.900 --> 02:32:33.580 T side start, though, for legacy. 02:32:33.580 --> 02:32:35.900 What do you want to see right out the gate? 02:32:35.900 --> 02:32:39.580 I just, sometimes they would get away on anxious, like they would start to play two 02:32:39.580 --> 02:32:45.500 individualistic, like in some of these 3v3s, 4v4s, right, go for gaps individually instead of trying 02:32:45.500 --> 02:32:50.140 to play a little bit more like a team, or at least, you know, use some utility to draw attention 02:32:50.140 --> 02:32:55.820 to a certain part of the map, create a gap for a player to utilize. So I want to see them play a 02:32:55.820 --> 02:33:00.300 little bit more as a team, and also I want to see the individuals step up. I mean, the way Nysim and 02:33:00.300 --> 02:33:05.980 Zadzin were doing, like they have to step it up. I want that slower tempo, some more executions. 02:33:05.980 --> 02:33:09.500 That's what Art was supposed to have brought to the table with this legacy roster. So how we 02:33:09.500 --> 02:33:15.100 seen the team morph and bend when they are playing these pressure positions. You can't always rely on 02:33:15.100 --> 02:33:20.940 your rookies and even if these guys are stars, this type of stage is not a familiar environment 02:33:20.940 --> 02:33:25.180 from them.

They want to attempt to split this people on site 02:39:51.820 --> 02:39:55.060 Smoking con smoking window room so the avenue is available to them 02:39:56.020 --> 02:40:03.420 They're taking it slow in case there's any kind of aggression. 02:40:03.420 --> 02:40:06.020 Here's the utility to show that they want to have some deep push. 02:40:06.020 --> 02:40:08.180 Actually this is all going to be a fake. 02:40:08.180 --> 02:40:11.460 It's going to pull the defense back in middle and Saks steps through the smoke and this 02:40:11.460 --> 02:40:12.460 one's got that kill. 02:40:12.460 --> 02:40:16.260 Yeah, Saks checked, but we've got Resnick sort of the site here doing what he can. 02:40:16.260 --> 02:40:17.260 He's got a second elevator. 02:40:17.260 --> 02:40:21.700 His team is also stepping up and Miss Charleston Ward eventually bringing Resnick down and 02:40:21.700 --> 02:40:25.700 and long range with those triple runners, PR comes out on top. 02:40:25.700 --> 02:40:27.700 So leaves Art in the clutch. 02:40:27.700 --> 02:40:29.700 He'll be a 4K if he's able to pull this one off. 02:40:29.700 --> 02:40:30.700 He's got over a minute to play with. 02:40:30.700 --> 02:40:32.700 Yeah, 1v2, he's got all the HP. 02:40:32.700 --> 02:40:35.700 The issue is no armor, so once he gets into these engagements, 02:40:35.700 --> 02:40:36.700 it's going to be really rough. 02:40:36.700 --> 02:40:39.700 You can see PR finds himself a safe position over towards ramp. 02:40:39.700 --> 02:40:40.700 No way for Art to spot it out. 02:40:40.700 --> 02:40:42.700 He's just got to take a risk, plant the bomb. 02:40:42.700 --> 02:40:45.700 Actually, PR even pushing towards CT spawn, 02:40:45.700 --> 02:40:47.700 so it may feel like it's going to be a finish at the B bomb site, 02:40:47.700 --> 02:40:48.700 but he'll be wrong. 02:40:48.700 --> 02:40:54.440 Well at least securing at a minimum the four-spot in the next round but Art getting flanked out from the ramp at the moment 02:40:54.440 --> 02:41:00.300 Look at the amount of positions. He has to worry about and PR now coming out of the ramp. Art has actually tucked himself away 02:41:00.300 --> 02:41:03.740 He's safely hitting. He might think he's being sneaky, but PR knows he's not ramp 02:41:04.180 --> 02:41:09.460 And he's clearing he's getting closer now considers what might be and season just poking around that corner 02:41:09.460 --> 02:41:14.020 So Art no chance to win out the clutch and I'll be game-religion picking up the pistol 02:41:14.020 --> 02:41:16.380 It's a little bit different from the first map as well 02:41:16.380 --> 02:41:19.380 We see legacy when both pistol rounds, when both second rounds. 02:41:19.980 --> 02:41:21.680 This time they're going to start on the back foot, 02:41:21.680 --> 02:41:24.580 but at least with that bomb plant, Art's able to secure them the fourth spot. 02:41:24.580 --> 02:41:25.580 Yeah, scary prospect. 02:41:25.580 --> 02:41:28.180 You got ran over when you had hot starts and growth halves on ancient. 02:41:28.180 --> 02:41:31.180 Now you don't have one here on Mirage, so you're going to have to grind it back. 02:41:31.680 --> 02:41:32.580 Interesting idea. 02:41:32.580 --> 02:41:36.380 They're the kind of like fake execute in the B halls to let the short players play first, 02:41:36.380 --> 02:41:39.880 but those USPs at a range, Res does an awesome job of getting kills. 02:41:40.280 --> 02:41:42.680 Legacy could never actually scale into the bomb site. 02:41:42.680 --> 02:41:48.680 I think running that's the late smokes and mid faded as well. There was a crossfire at distance into the bomb site at 8 02:41:48.680 --> 02:41:52.120 So they'll try again with the bomb plant scout in the hands of heart 02:41:52.120 --> 02:41:55.480 He's got a tag taking damage himself, but brought snacks down to 39 02:42:01.320 --> 02:42:04.200 This is moving up to the window for naked to land upon it 02:42:05.640 --> 02:42:08.600 Advantage siding with game of legend and damage done to art 02:42:08.600 --> 02:42:12.520 That's a really risky way to try and find an opening and a round that you're not 02:42:12.520 --> 02:42:17.760 bringing a whole lot to the party. That's one of the rifles you brought in 02:42:17.760 --> 02:42:22.640 lost in fact. Oh Towson gets greedy that's one back and they're gonna go with 02:42:22.640 --> 02:42:27.160 it right through the smoke. Trying to get out towards Reds who keeps his head 02:42:27.160 --> 02:42:30.200 tucked away. The flash is coming through, dodges most of them, but he can't dodge 02:42:30.200 --> 02:42:36.080 Dumau. Who just goes again at this time on snacks? Great second kill from Dumau. 02:42:36.080 --> 02:42:41.480 That opens up the bomb site and suddenly the round is wide open for legacy and shut for game 02:42:41.480 --> 02:42:46.380 Allegiant and they have to back away and save their weapons exactly what do now is doing on ancients 02:42:46.380 --> 02:42:48.580 And he's brought it back here into the second map 02:42:48.580 --> 02:42:53.940 That's a disgusting second kill to secure the ground three kills for do now overall and 02:42:54.420 --> 02:42:56.620 Legacy after losing the pistol get it right back 02:42:56.620 --> 02:42:58.340 And we know do miles are great player 02:42:58.340 --> 02:43:04.320 But the reason that we talk about him being so deadly is because he usually comes as a package deal with Lato, right? 02:43:04.320 --> 02:43:09.200 It's that duo that you always talk about with legacy that keeps them competitive that keeps them a threat 02:43:09.720 --> 02:43:11.480 Lato was missing on that first map 02:43:11.480 --> 02:43:17.520 So you'd love to see Lato get into form here in Mirage and you have that one-to-punch of do now Lato 02:43:17.520 --> 02:43:21.920 Popping off there for legacy is going to be a very different story especially because you've had Lato throughout this entire 02:43:21.920 --> 02:43:24.640 That he's the third highest rated player statistically 02:43:24.640 --> 02:43:29.000 I got such a taste type for second with Kevin and Zai Wu 1.27 rating 02:43:29.000 --> 02:43:30.960 So yeah missing a piece of the puzzle 02:43:30.960 --> 02:43:34.200 that's been there for you every step of the way up to this point. 02:43:35.920 --> 02:43:38.080 We'll see if Lado can find his way into the game. 02:43:38.080 --> 02:43:39.600 This is an opening provided by Talston 02:43:39.600 --> 02:43:40.560 just being a little bit greedy. 02:43:40.560 --> 02:43:43.040 Really wanted that AK-47, thought they'd fallen back, 02:43:43.040 --> 02:43:44.760 thought they were done with the spanning. 02:43:44.760 --> 02:43:47.000 That angle for Rez is just way too hard to deal with, 02:43:47.000 --> 02:43:48.880 but that's the thing at beauty. 02:43:48.880 --> 02:43:51.360 Duma ready for every fight. 02:43:51.360 --> 02:43:53.400 But not even the classic Duma yell. 02:43:53.400 --> 02:43:55.800 He realizes so much work need to be done here. 02:43:58.600 --> 02:44:00.880 He's gonna go down into the underpass. 02:44:00.880 --> 02:44:02.880 You see the damage he's inflicted single-handedly. 02:44:02.880 --> 02:44:04.880 You've got snacks on a D-Gall. 02:44:04.880 --> 02:44:06.880 Towson on the same with a 5-7 out for Ryze. 02:44:06.880 --> 02:44:09.880 Yeah, but that buys a little bit busted for Gamer Legion. 02:44:10.880 --> 02:44:13.880 A little bit of a trap set though at the top of Khan. 02:44:13.880 --> 02:44:14.880 Four players for Gamer Legion. 02:44:14.880 --> 02:44:16.880 It snacks alone at the B-Bombside playing short. 02:44:16.880 --> 02:44:18.880 Headbacks PR and Towson. 02:44:18.880 --> 02:44:21.880 Right at the top of Khan and res in the window smoke. 02:44:24.880 --> 02:44:26.880 PR is coming down. 02:44:26.880 --> 02:44:29.880 So Dan, Art and Sadzi, we're going to get a couple between them. 02:44:29.880 --> 02:44:33.320 And finally, it's legacy makeover. Clean up time doesn't go against them. 02:44:33.320 --> 02:44:36.680 Now you've got a turn towards connector and they do. They deal with it. 02:44:36.680 --> 02:44:38.280 Now they know what Towson is. 02:44:38.280 --> 02:44:41.560 Miss him, slips down into the site. He's got some cover and some time 02:44:41.560 --> 02:44:43.800 to let his teammates come and split on Towson, 02:44:43.800 --> 02:44:46.880 making this almost impossible for the Dane and he will drop. 02:44:46.880 --> 02:44:50.440 So two to one lead here for legacy, despite losing the pistol. 02:44:50.440 --> 02:44:53.560 That four-spy works out perfectly in the second 02:44:53.560 --> 02:44:56.480 and they're able to follow up with another win. 02:44:56.480 --> 02:44:59.360 So two rounds in a row and game religion out of money to fight here. 02:44:59.360 --> 02:45:03.360 Nice thing for them, Hypex sitting at 3400, so he'll have the AWP in the next round. 02:45:05.360 --> 02:45:09.360 Give Dumao a couple more sequences like that, you'll start here Dumao, look out to you. 02:45:11.360 --> 02:45:15.360 I mean you can just see the importance of that ball and plant from Art in the pistol round as well. 02:45:16.360 --> 02:45:19.360 The fact that he's able to get that, that's why I like to see him out 2-1 up. 02:45:19.360 --> 02:45:21.360 You get enough money to get Dumao on a Khalil. 02:45:21.360 --> 02:45:24.360 Yeah, it's a huge change isn't it? It's a nice extra tool to have. 02:45:24.360 --> 02:45:25.360 to have. 02:45:25.360 --> 02:45:29.760 You know, you're just going to take a 3-1 lead because 2 SPs and 1 Beagle. 02:45:29.760 --> 02:45:33.800 Yeah, I got another trap set up by Gamer Legion over off to the B bomb site. 02:45:33.800 --> 02:45:36.760 Four players are here, a little bit of a boost up. 02:45:36.760 --> 02:45:41.960 The rifles will just end up being too strong when they get into this. 02:45:41.960 --> 02:45:46.720 So, I mean, it's a weird situation now with the way that this is played out, with the 02:45:46.720 --> 02:45:51.240 Pistor on 1 by Gamer Legion, like, Lexi doesn't get it, but now you can say after converting 02:45:51.240 --> 02:45:54.080 the second themselves, they go back to getting that start that they had. 02:45:54.080 --> 02:45:55.800 the good start that they had on Ancient. 02:45:56.980 --> 02:45:58.200 It's not better, right? 02:45:58.200 --> 02:46:01.080 They can get themselves that nice 3-1 lead 02:46:01.080 --> 02:46:03.200 a full eco here on this side of things. 02:46:03.200 --> 02:46:05.120 Good turn from Art. 02:46:05.120 --> 02:46:07.480 Trapper's late, but there's still plenty of players here, 02:46:07.480 --> 02:46:08.800 so a better weapon available. 02:46:08.800 --> 02:46:10.760 And Kimmel is gonna be happy to pick that up. 02:46:10.760 --> 02:46:11.600 Art's fine with that though. 02:46:11.600 --> 02:46:12.800 I mean, you spotted two more players, 02:46:12.800 --> 02:46:14.440 you get two kills and you spot two more players. 02:46:14.440 --> 02:46:16.440 So you know, at most there's one defender here. 02:46:16.440 --> 02:46:18.160 Now everyone's hustling over. 02:46:18.160 --> 02:46:20.160 The M4 is gonna be a little bit late to join in 02:46:20.160 --> 02:46:22.280 and Snax will want to prioritize keeping that. 02:46:22.280 --> 02:46:28.280 Yeah, the Paulson Connector is actually giving time to the game of League of Legends to start rotating a couple of these pistols over. 02:46:28.280 --> 02:46:32.280 Deagle hasn't been able to do much. The USP desperately trying to upgrade. 02:46:32.280 --> 02:46:36.280 And as they step into the open, Snacks actually gets a kill with that picked up rifle. 02:46:36.280 --> 02:46:38.280 Yeah, now it's time to just back off and let Hypex do his own thing. 02:46:38.280 --> 02:46:41.280 If you want to fight more with the Deagle, go for it. Try and shave off one more kill. 02:46:41.280 --> 02:46:44.280 If you want to try and recover that weapon, it's all you. 02:46:45.280 --> 02:46:50.280 Snacks actually shifting over towards Short to maybe grab one more kill down the stretch. 02:46:50.280 --> 02:46:53.840 But it will be a third round for Legacy regardless of what happens. 02:46:53.840 --> 02:46:56.800 Hypeback's gonna rely I think on the bomb to blow a gun into his direction. 02:47:03.520 --> 02:47:05.840 Koken and Brody is gonna hop into the window actually. 02:47:05.840 --> 02:47:08.960 Kosen goes forward and realizes that's the move he's trying to make. 02:47:08.960 --> 02:47:12.440 Defense that weapon from Koken in the hands of Gamelige and Satsen. 02:47:12.440 --> 02:47:15.680 Successful on the hindstop snacks from getting his free gun as well. 02:47:15.680 --> 02:47:18.280 So that's a three to one lead for Legacy. 02:47:18.280 --> 02:47:20.280 We'll see immediately coming into the next round. 02:47:20.280 --> 02:47:22.280 Highpacks is invested into the AWP. 02:47:22.280 --> 02:47:24.280 So that's going to be coming out with rifles around it. 02:47:24.280 --> 02:47:25.280 And remember back to the first map. 02:47:25.280 --> 02:47:27.280 It took like eight, nine rounds before we saw 02:47:27.280 --> 02:47:28.280 Sadsen with an AWP. 02:47:28.280 --> 02:47:30.280 It was deep into the first half before he was able to pull it out. 02:47:30.280 --> 02:47:32.280 He's got that out right at the start. 02:47:32.280 --> 02:47:35.280 So both sides playing with the sniper. 02:47:35.280 --> 02:47:37.280 Round five begins. 02:47:37.280 --> 02:47:39.280 Everyone's got the buy they want. 02:47:39.280 --> 02:47:41.280 Sadsen with the AWP is going to head over to the 8-Bomb. 02:47:41.280 --> 02:47:44.280 So he wants to pick towards the ramp and drops the bomb. 02:47:44.280 --> 02:47:47.280 Maybe misses the timing as Snacks has already crossed over. 02:47:48.280 --> 02:48:03.280 So Lado in a prime position, this is him getting towards the end of Palace, Sads and Covey with the AWP, lovely pick, do they want to build off it? 02:48:03.280 --> 02:48:10.280 Legacy happy to stay composed and Paul's in their positions looking for the reaction. 02:48:10.280 --> 02:48:15.280 And I got so much time and a luxury of a man advantage. 02:48:18.280 --> 02:48:22.280 No legacy, a lot more comfortable, playing out these mid rounds of mirage as well. 02:48:23.280 --> 02:48:26.280 Smoke up to the window, blocking the vision of Rize. 02:48:26.280 --> 02:48:29.280 I mean, legacy hasn't budged towards the same bomb site. 02:48:29.280 --> 02:48:33.280 It feels like this round is always designed and destined at the moment to finish here. 02:48:33.280 --> 02:48:37.280 to the right. To now, now, 02:48:37.280 --> 02:48:38.280 working through the underpass 02:48:38.280 --> 02:48:39.280 Art at top middle is going to 02:48:39.280 --> 02:48:41.280 swing out and slowly start his 02:48:41.280 --> 02:48:43.280 crawl up short. There's a trap 02:48:43.280 --> 02:48:45.280 here. Legacy could lose a lot. 02:48:45.280 --> 02:48:47.280 Art moving up high packs going 02:48:47.280 --> 02:48:49.280 to catch him. So they have lost 02:48:49.280 --> 02:48:51.280 the advantage for the time being, 02:48:51.280 --> 02:48:53.280 but do now might just be behind 02:48:53.280 --> 02:48:55.280 them. Great quick headshot on 02:48:55.280 --> 02:48:57.280 Tolstin. This is the Molotov 02:48:57.280 --> 02:48:59.280 backs away into the underpass. Now 02:48:59.280 --> 02:49:00.280 you need to rely upon the hit 02:49:00.280 --> 02:49:02.280 towards this A site 30 seconds 02:49:02.280 --> 02:49:05.480 They're kind of continuing this attack actually with do not being locked out the way he was 02:49:10.200 --> 02:49:16.160 Combining together breaking apart the defenses and res can do nothing about changing the outcome of this role 02:49:16.160 --> 02:49:20.640 So it's gonna be a full one lead for legacy find a way to make it work those are solutions 02:49:20.640 --> 02:49:26.480 They didn't have on ancient they were struggling to find them good flashbang good aggression as the smoke breaks and res backs away 02:49:26.840 --> 02:49:29.400 Now plenty of money for legacy to go hunt this down 02:49:29.400 --> 02:49:32.900 and you can see them on the minimap, all those yellow dots moving to the other side. 02:49:33.700 --> 02:49:36.700 So Rez is gonna have a fight just to keep this gun in his hand. 02:49:47.900 --> 02:49:49.200 Now starting to push in. 02:49:49.400 --> 02:49:52.400 Legacy want everything to be as easy as humanly possible. 02:49:54.100 --> 02:49:58.200 Taking the gun away, force the rebuy, force the money even lower, break it entirely. 02:49:59.400 --> 02:50:04.400 I'll get caught at the end. Res 1 kill traded. 02:50:04.400 --> 02:50:07.400 They're doing such a good job at hunting these rifles down as well. 02:50:07.400 --> 02:50:10.400 Not letting anything go for free here. 02:50:10.400 --> 02:50:14.400 Legacy have really made this such a difficult start to the half for Gamelidge 02:50:14.400 --> 02:50:17.400 and who don't have a lot of money here. They don't have enough to get a full buyout 02:50:17.400 --> 02:50:20.400 and it's Doomow again. Griff for shot, misses the Molotov here 02:50:20.400 --> 02:50:24.400 and obviously makes it a little bit awkward but he combines with Lato. 02:50:24.400 --> 02:50:27.400 That's the combo you mentioned just at the start of this map 02:50:27.400 --> 02:50:34.360 That starts to get going that one-two punch. This makes a very scary half start to look very real for legacy 02:50:34.360 --> 02:50:36.880 Let's see if they have that legacy they're doing exactly the game 02:50:36.880 --> 02:50:41.040 We should do to them which is just kind of outplay them and pick them apart make this defense move make this defense 02:50:41.040 --> 02:50:44.480 Never know what's coming and look at the change of pace again. Now. We just have a contact slide up 02:50:44.480 --> 02:50:46.480 I spotted one and he's got both 02:50:47.080 --> 02:50:50.520 The recoil gives him a gift a great workout for art 02:50:51.040 --> 02:50:57.000 That's the site completely taken yeah bombs drop back in T spawn still so it'll be a little bit of time meanwhile legacy 02:50:57.000 --> 02:51:00.280 Happy to keep being aggressive, making sure they can control this side of the map. 02:51:05.080 --> 02:51:10.600 They could pick from Art again, moving forward a third of the round and taking any damage on board either, 02:51:10.600 --> 02:51:15.560 which usually is making this economy look very pretty for legacy. They've got so much cash left over. 02:51:16.120 --> 02:51:20.360 It's going to be a very tough half for the remainder of this for Gangrelige, just to get into it. 02:51:20.360 --> 02:51:24.520 And Art is fourth. Why not go for the ace? 02:51:24.520 --> 02:51:32.520 It just looks so much more comfortable on this map, sliding into map control, gaining a little bit of space and then being able to kind of hold on to it knowing where the next rotation is coming. 02:51:32.520 --> 02:51:36.520 This T-side is looking real nice so far. 02:51:36.520 --> 02:51:39.520 Archie goes for a snack, said Art's going to take everything away. 02:51:39.520 --> 02:51:44.520 That's an ace, well, yeah, the anti-eco ace, well done from Art. 02:51:44.520 --> 02:51:49.520 It takes every single frag in towards the site and 10-4 start from Art. 02:51:49.520 --> 02:51:52.520 I mean, continuing this good performance, you had a great first map even in the loss, right? 02:51:52.520 --> 02:51:54.840 Yeah, you've mentioned a lot of being absent on that first map. 02:51:54.840 --> 02:51:57.840 Always the one who picked up the pieces there. Him and Junal were in the two-man army. 02:51:57.840 --> 02:51:59.840 Just not enough to make that competitive in any sense. 02:51:59.840 --> 02:52:02.360 But here, doing a good job of being the engine. 02:52:02.360 --> 02:52:06.240 Five kills in this round. Just picking them one by one. 02:52:09.240 --> 02:52:12.880 And a timeout is called from Gamer Legion there first, because obviously they're stumped. 02:52:13.480 --> 02:52:15.360 AWP is going to come back out from Hypex. 02:52:16.840 --> 02:52:19.120 I will see what Art wants to do with this lead in a timeout. 02:52:19.120 --> 02:52:20.720 Right, we saw Gamer Legion on map one. 02:52:20.720 --> 02:52:24.840 Every time legacy called the timeout a little bit of a change of pace and uppercut rush towards the deep bomb site 02:52:24.840 --> 02:52:29.560 Does legacy want to do something similar? Are they just saying game of League just to figure out how to beat us here? 02:52:33.160 --> 02:52:35.160 Congratulations 02:52:37.800 --> 02:52:43.440 See pipex is all construct to make the difference for me. We talked about it really being required over an ancient 02:52:44.720 --> 02:52:47.960 This is where you do want some CT side off barrage 02:52:47.960 --> 02:52:55.400 It takes the first bit of damage as well from the utility down to 73 HP, but we're going to see a quicker pop perhaps from legacy towards B 02:52:56.000 --> 02:52:58.600 Two players in middle three towards the apartments 02:53:02.480 --> 02:53:04.480 Smoke takes away the vision 02:53:10.400 --> 02:53:12.320 Con smoke not breaking completely 02:53:12.320 --> 02:53:15.080 but now it will and Hypeback, so we cannot adjust in time, 02:53:15.080 --> 02:53:16.760 sads in an awkward position. 02:53:16.760 --> 02:53:18.200 And he doesn't like the danger he's feeling, 02:53:18.200 --> 02:53:19.840 the sense of danger in this position, 02:53:19.840 --> 02:53:21.320 so Art slides in instead. 02:53:25.360 --> 02:53:26.920 Taliesin steps out in behind Art, 02:53:26.920 --> 02:53:28.240 whose head is turned, 02:53:28.240 --> 02:53:30.120 but the B push has come in a do-mal, 02:53:30.120 --> 02:53:31.880 rapidly chasing that trade kill. 02:53:31.880 --> 02:53:33.280 He's got it on Taliesin. 02:53:33.280 --> 02:53:34.840 Hypeback stepping out, he's got the angle, 02:53:34.840 --> 02:53:37.280 but he's about to be blocked out by Smoke. 02:53:37.280 --> 02:53:39.280 You start to feel helpless here if you're game of legend. 02:53:39.280 --> 02:53:40.760 You can't hold onto the B site. 02:53:40.760 --> 02:53:45.760 and you can't just see a world and once you get back into it and now Doomow has pushed again 02:53:45.760 --> 02:53:50.760 taking the all-poor way and it's now in a position where you don't feel comfortable to go out and go and get it back. 02:53:50.760 --> 02:53:54.760 Yeah, Saxon Resid already called for the save when all that went down. Legacy just doing a great job. 02:53:54.760 --> 02:53:59.760 This is Art pulling everyone towards short, opening up the B-Bombside Avenue. 02:53:59.760 --> 02:54:05.760 Gamer Legion looking flustered here. They don't know what a position. Players, they're three steps behind now. 02:54:05.760 --> 02:54:11.760 I've come in with a great 02:54:11.760 --> 02:54:15.760 mirage here like you see a really strong T side. They've lost the 02:54:15.760 --> 02:54:20.760 pace on, nothing else. 02:54:20.760 --> 02:54:25.760 You can see why they brought it here, obviously very comfortable. 02:54:25.760 --> 02:54:31.760 Haven't seen Gamer Legion mixing any kind of aggression towards 02:54:31.760 --> 02:54:33.760 I haven't seen any pushes up mid. 02:54:33.760 --> 02:54:36.760 Haven't seen any pushes through underpass, palace pushes. 02:54:36.760 --> 02:54:46.760 Might be time for them to mix some things up and see if you can create a play that slows legacy down, slows this attack down, or at least get yourself to play around with an advantage. 02:54:48.760 --> 02:54:50.760 Haven't had many of those here on Mirage. 02:54:50.760 --> 02:54:56.480 Oh, quick utility in the middle here for Legacy. 02:54:56.480 --> 02:55:00.560 Hot mid smoke, window smoke, all put in place, and they're going to start sprinting into the 02:55:00.560 --> 02:55:01.560 connector. 02:55:01.560 --> 02:55:02.560 Look at him out already here, PR. 02:55:02.560 --> 02:55:05.560 Handles that pressure, Les won't go. 02:55:05.560 --> 02:55:09.080 Argo that second layer, and now that he's trying to get it through short to the B-ball 02:55:09.080 --> 02:55:13.360 side, the smokes are breaking open, revealing kills for Legacy. 02:55:13.360 --> 02:55:14.360 Spraying away, Snacks staying. 02:55:14.360 --> 02:55:15.360 Oh my god. 02:55:15.360 --> 02:55:18.080 Snacks out the window, they're trying to position, Snacks gets into it. 02:55:18.080 --> 02:55:20.640 It's absolute chaos to kick off this round. 02:55:20.640 --> 02:55:24.540 Snax is doing what he can, but he's barmed out of the window and forced into the underpass. 02:55:24.540 --> 02:55:26.440 I almost can't believe that he's alive. 02:55:26.440 --> 02:55:30.440 Only Snax could do that and still come out on the other side with a chance to fight. 02:55:30.440 --> 02:55:34.140 Towson, everything's new in the open. No trade. No trade! 02:55:34.140 --> 02:55:35.440 Towson with the double! 02:55:35.440 --> 02:55:39.140 Now, flashed to the skies while Towson trying to save his team. It's gotta be Lato. 02:55:39.140 --> 02:55:44.140 He's been quiet the whole time in the semi-final, but this would be a great time to get loud. 02:55:44.140 --> 02:55:46.840 And he's got himself a second chance to reach Snax! 02:55:46.840 --> 02:55:49.840 And now suddenly a 1v1 for Lato. 02:55:49.840 --> 02:55:53.280 He's got time to stay composed, to take a breather, but he's trying to fight. 02:55:53.280 --> 02:55:54.640 He's looking for it. 02:55:54.640 --> 02:55:56.480 And going for the reload. 02:55:56.480 --> 02:55:59.920 PR in the open, and Lato stuns! 02:56:01.360 --> 02:56:05.680 Legacy can do no wrong, and finally Lato with some impact. 02:56:06.240 --> 02:56:09.200 Putting his name on the semi-finals, it was a little bit haggard. 02:56:09.200 --> 02:56:10.320 Rough around the edges. 02:56:10.320 --> 02:56:13.680 Snacks causes a lot of issues in that round for Legacy, 02:56:13.680 --> 02:56:15.520 but they still managed to come out on top. 02:56:16.400 --> 02:56:18.160 A huge clutch for Lato. 02:56:18.160 --> 02:56:20.160 The read on the flank. 02:56:21.960 --> 02:56:26.160 It was a 1v3 for Telsen that ignited Gamerlutian on ancient the first map. 02:56:26.160 --> 02:56:31.160 Now a 1v3 from Lato is going to let Legacy continue to dominate. 02:56:33.960 --> 02:56:38.560 From the Gamerlutian perspective, you got to feel like you can't catch a break on this ET side now. 02:56:38.560 --> 02:56:42.560 Hit the fight so hard to remain competitive in this round that Telsen steps up. 02:56:42.560 --> 02:56:51.560 This side of the people, this side of Lato just rips it out of your hands, you think snacks is the insurance policy coming through the apartments as well, but Lato reads it. 02:56:54.560 --> 02:57:03.560 Well, legacy and the traversy completely. I don't mean the change of pace is now they're throwing into the mix. It's going to be much more difficult, it still gets harder for Gamer Legion. 02:57:03.560 --> 02:57:07.060 Satsen, light shot on the highpacks a little bit quicker. 02:57:07.060 --> 02:57:08.560 Gonna double up on the T side. 02:57:10.060 --> 02:57:12.560 They've taken out for a spin and Satsen are not having to go. 02:57:12.560 --> 02:57:17.560 I think they're hoping the upshot in the middle would maybe make some of the A bomb side kind of peek out and slide into Satsen's ult. 02:57:20.560 --> 02:57:23.560 The Latos slid out towards Ketris. 02:57:23.560 --> 02:57:27.560 He got Ryze waiting under the wood. He's about to get mollied out here by Nissen. 02:57:27.560 --> 02:57:30.440 And that just forces Ryzen to the peak. 02:57:30.440 --> 02:57:31.640 He gets traded by Dumal. 02:57:31.640 --> 02:57:34.280 Here's PR stepping out into the open. 02:57:34.280 --> 02:57:35.480 Climbing behind triple. 02:57:35.480 --> 02:57:36.960 Hypex coming over to try and help him. 02:57:36.960 --> 02:57:38.560 But PR was so committed to trying 02:57:38.560 --> 02:57:40.080 to win the fight against Dumal. 02:57:40.080 --> 02:57:42.400 But he's just so razor sharp right now. 02:57:42.400 --> 02:57:43.840 As Dumal wins that fight, too. 02:57:43.840 --> 02:57:44.640 And credit to Nissen. 02:57:44.640 --> 02:57:46.160 The support flash is coming out of Palace. 02:57:46.160 --> 02:57:47.280 He's been excellent miss shot. 02:57:47.280 --> 02:57:48.360 He nails it. 02:57:48.360 --> 02:57:49.640 Sadzen takes one down. 02:57:49.640 --> 02:57:51.000 And OK, that's close. 02:57:51.000 --> 02:57:51.880 Art hunkers down. 02:57:51.880 --> 02:57:54.160 Molotov towards CT. 02:57:54.160 --> 02:57:56.520 Hypex and Taliesin now 2v4. 02:57:56.520 --> 02:58:00.680 bomb yet to get planted, but it just feels like this round is 02:58:00.680 --> 02:58:05.520 unusable for Legacy, especially with Satsun landing shots and now looking for 02:58:05.520 --> 02:58:10.840 the follow-up. He knows exactly what Satsun is, it just tosses out a smoke and 02:58:10.840 --> 02:58:15.880 starts to back away. Already, Legacy are out, they're trying to hunt him down, 02:58:15.880 --> 02:58:19.040 Dumail sprinting to the other side of the map to try and cut him off and it's 02:58:19.040 --> 02:58:22.680 Satsun that moves forward, switches out to the right for to take the kill and a 02:58:22.680 --> 02:58:24.680 3k out of Satsun 02:58:24.680 --> 02:58:30.920 Finished by the right fuel who'll go back to the AWP and now game religion in a really tough spot because they don't even have 02:58:30.920 --> 02:58:33.740 Money to get a full buy out here. No, this is this is terrifying 02:58:34.200 --> 02:58:39.800 Legacy is just having their way with you at the moment another brilliant trade from do Malzies steps in good job making himself a tough target 02:58:39.800 --> 02:58:46.420 Here's the supportive flash from Nissan coming out of Palace saves the day allows do not have that extra kill and really opens up the bomb site 02:58:47.240 --> 02:58:49.240 And right now legacy is just flowing 02:58:49.240 --> 02:58:53.240 Game Religion can do nothing to stop this. 02:59:00.240 --> 02:59:05.240 Good start. The eagle of Hypex rings out onto Art at Palace. 02:59:05.240 --> 02:59:10.240 Okay, that'll put you on notice. That'll slow down the pacing. That'll slow things down and make Legacy reconsider. 02:59:10.240 --> 02:59:17.240 There's going to be no intentions of going fast considering where the bomb is. 02:59:17.240 --> 02:59:20.240 It's a very good shot from high-packs. 02:59:20.240 --> 02:59:23.240 The bomb's still all the way back in T spawn. 02:59:23.240 --> 02:59:28.240 Dumal plants his feet on the snacks trying to peek him and challenge. 02:59:28.240 --> 02:59:32.240 Dumal has done so much damage eventually finishing off snacks. 02:59:32.240 --> 02:59:38.240 So that advantage no longer with the team legacy starts to move up through mid. 02:59:38.240 --> 02:59:41.840 Well, I'm still dropped in T spawn. It looks like that'll be Lato's responsibility. 02:59:41.840 --> 02:59:43.840 And at the moment, they're not concerned whatsoever. 02:59:43.840 --> 02:59:47.340 Still just looking for a few kills before they decide where they want to finish things up. 02:59:48.340 --> 02:59:50.840 Well, sad scene. He's heading out towards spawn now. 02:59:50.840 --> 02:59:52.640 He'll back all the way. Towson's moved forward. 02:59:52.640 --> 02:59:54.840 This is a play he likes to make on the CT side. 02:59:55.440 --> 02:59:58.040 Let's see if he can get past the gaze of Dumau. 02:59:58.040 --> 03:00:00.940 Oh, Dumau spotted him. He's holding for it. 03:00:01.340 --> 03:00:03.840 And nothing going the way of game religion at all. 03:00:03.840 --> 03:00:05.740 Dumau is so locked in. 03:00:05.740 --> 03:00:07.340 I like the way he's not afraid of flights either. 03:00:07.340 --> 03:00:12.500 He keeps spotting it and like just stepping into the next fight as well not concerned. He's very very confident at the moment 03:00:13.100 --> 03:00:15.100 My pecs misses a chance 03:00:15.380 --> 03:00:21.860 These Deagles shouldn't really have a whole lot to say in this moment turn of the corner one kill. Lato's gonna spray him down a 03:00:22.380 --> 03:00:24.380 Ninth round now for legacy 03:00:24.700 --> 03:00:28.840 One more remaining in this fur to be two more remaining in the second and this first half 03:00:29.620 --> 03:00:32.920 9 to 1 lead for legacy. I mean the timeout coming through and 03:00:32.920 --> 03:00:39.660 It's actually like you see it called this time. I'll chase it. They want to make sure they get everything remaining round available in this half 03:00:39.660 --> 03:00:44.560 I'm not against it at all. I mean again your semi-finals you're looking you're looking to force that third map 03:00:44.560 --> 03:00:47.400 It would be inferno as a decider. It looks like we're gonna get there 03:00:47.800 --> 03:00:52.560 But yeah, hit this pause button make sure your boys aren't feeling too confident still a very critical round 03:00:52.560 --> 03:00:56.760 You don't want to lose these last two in some silly fashion then start seeing them claw themselves back in 03:00:58.520 --> 03:01:00.960 Keep them in their place keep them beneath your boot 03:01:00.960 --> 03:01:06.460 legacy up by eight as the timeout concludes all for hypex 03:01:09.460 --> 03:01:14.300 4 and 4s around it, but nothing has been effective for this game religion defense 03:01:18.060 --> 03:01:25.180 It was a pistol round victory for game religion it feels so long ago and nine straight rattled off by legacy 03:01:30.960 --> 03:01:38.600 Well, Ryze, Lumblyz with a flash coming in towards Ramp, he can't win the fight. 03:01:38.600 --> 03:01:39.760 This is how his head turned. 03:01:39.760 --> 03:01:43.600 So the flash ineffective towards him and Hamplow's business against Ryze. 03:01:43.600 --> 03:01:46.480 He's going for another one here too. 03:01:46.480 --> 03:01:49.600 Even the aggressive plays forward here from Game of Legends aren't all that successful. 03:01:49.600 --> 03:01:51.800 At least the grenade from PR will get the trade. 03:01:51.800 --> 03:01:56.400 Yeah, they've done a lot of utility to find that kill, but at least he got it. 03:01:56.400 --> 03:01:59.240 So the AWP has left today, Ramp. 03:01:59.240 --> 03:02:02.040 Badzen swaps out to an AK, Art has his over in Palace. 03:02:02.040 --> 03:02:05.140 Just look at the off-fanger looking for someone to rotate into the crosshair. 03:02:13.840 --> 03:02:15.540 And Legacy changed their position of attack. 03:02:15.540 --> 03:02:17.140 So much attention towards a rep. 03:02:17.140 --> 03:02:18.340 Bomb is picked up now. 03:02:18.940 --> 03:02:22.340 DuMal going to start sliding into the underpass to join up with Lotto, who's going con. 03:02:23.040 --> 03:02:26.040 The real issue is the bomb isolated and alone. 03:02:26.040 --> 03:02:29.040 If you can't get past PR, it's a huge issue for Legacy. 03:02:29.240 --> 03:02:35.340 PR goes into the open, sats in, has fallen, so yep, it's looking open here for 03:02:35.340 --> 03:02:39.140 Gamelidge. If you don't win this one, what round are you going to win? 03:02:39.140 --> 03:02:44.660 R goes down at Palace, leaving two now on his lonesome. Only coming through 03:02:44.660 --> 03:02:48.320 connector now. All of his teammates gone under 30 seconds left to play with. 03:02:48.320 --> 03:02:52.340 Look at how much slower this round is compared to most of the legacy rounds 03:02:52.340 --> 03:02:56.180 when they lose that first player, right? Oh, okay, there's a tap. I don't think 03:02:56.180 --> 03:02:58.940 there's enough time for this, but let's give them some chance. The style points 03:02:58.940 --> 03:03:03.580 maybe. High tech shuts it down before it can even begin. Double kill for the 03:03:03.580 --> 03:03:06.380 Gamer legion AWPer. TR with a triple in the rounds. 03:03:06.380 --> 03:03:09.980 Two now, I guess one more kill there. It can really affect the buy here in the 03:03:09.980 --> 03:03:13.780 next round of Gamer legion, but they do have enough just to scrap out a really 03:03:13.780 --> 03:03:18.380 strong buy. But last round of the half coming up, Gamer legion, three rounds is 03:03:18.380 --> 03:03:21.340 the best they can hope for. It's still gonna be so tough to see them come back 03:03:21.340 --> 03:03:25.780 and have to be strong enough T side, but I'll not put it past them. We'll not count 03:03:25.780 --> 03:03:30.620 out yet. That's one legacy called the timeout in the previous round to try to secure all 03:03:30.620 --> 03:03:37.940 the rounds available in this first half to maximize their chances of seeing Inferno. 03:03:37.940 --> 03:03:41.180 Heavy towards middle. Four players coming out through top mid for legacy. 03:03:41.180 --> 03:03:46.260 Could be a little bit of a fight here. I don't think Rez has seen these numbers too much. 03:03:46.260 --> 03:03:49.740 Might get surprised. Smoke not broken open. That's too mild. Just stepping around the 03:03:49.740 --> 03:03:52.740 the other side of the smoke, the rest falls with ease. 03:03:55.580 --> 03:03:58.020 Window smoke to completely control the middle of the map 03:03:58.020 --> 03:03:59.660 it forces high-packs to be aggressive 03:03:59.660 --> 03:04:01.980 to clear out this point of attack. 03:04:01.980 --> 03:04:03.780 PR has slid over towards ticket. 03:04:06.340 --> 03:04:10.500 Flaps out, collapse in for Talcyon. 03:04:10.500 --> 03:04:13.420 And 5v3, a great start to this round for Legacy. 03:04:13.420 --> 03:04:16.220 Nice shot from Sadzane. 03:04:16.220 --> 03:04:19.140 The flick up, PR stood no chance. 03:04:19.140 --> 03:04:23.140 He stands no longer. The only player that can do anything about this round now is Snacks. 03:04:24.140 --> 03:04:25.140 He's hitting away. 03:04:26.140 --> 03:04:27.140 And behind the bench. 03:04:28.140 --> 03:04:34.140 Highpacks at least getting one kill. He can make his way over, but it's gotta be Snacks that deliver if there's any shot at this third round. 03:04:34.140 --> 03:04:36.140 They know where he is. He only manages one. 03:04:37.140 --> 03:04:40.140 So Highpacks will be on his merry way over through CT spawn. 03:04:41.140 --> 03:04:43.140 Arriving now at the market. 03:04:43.140 --> 03:04:50.140 The legacy getting defeated 13-9. It was a comprehensive victory over on ancient for Gamer Legion. 03:04:50.140 --> 03:04:55.140 We said legacy would be more comfortable here on Mirage, but this is on another level. 03:04:55.140 --> 03:04:59.140 We'd love to secure double figures in the first half of play. 03:04:59.140 --> 03:05:06.140 We're starting to get ready to load up Inferno. It's that third and final match because legacy are going to leave this half with a huge advantage. 03:05:06.140 --> 03:05:11.140 The Brazilians are back and they're playing the carousel. We've seen for them all event long. 03:08:43.140 --> 03:08:47.300 pretty much from that point onwards, it was Legacy dominating the first half of 03:08:47.300 --> 03:08:50.820 Counter-Strike Cura Mirage. It's great to see them show up, it's great to see them 03:08:50.820 --> 03:08:54.820 actually play the way we've seen them all event long, and now the difficult 03:08:54.820 --> 03:08:57.900 challenge for game releases is trying to come back into this game somehow, and 03:08:57.900 --> 03:09:01.420 they've got to do it on the T side. And they put Legacy in the same position on 03:09:01.420 --> 03:09:04.260 the first map so you can't really complain. Maybe not quite this bad but a 03:09:04.260 --> 03:09:07.580 similar kind of, oh we have to come back and we're out of class. 03:09:07.580 --> 03:09:10.020 Atlanta, are you still with us here for the second half? 03:09:10.020 --> 03:09:16.860 Alright, let's see if Gabriel Lidget can come back into this, or if Legacy send us to a 03:09:16.860 --> 03:09:18.860 third map in this semifinal. 03:09:18.860 --> 03:09:23.060 We've got some utility here for Satsun and R, and this one's got the kit, so keep eyes 03:09:23.060 --> 03:09:25.060 on that on the mini-map. 03:09:25.060 --> 03:09:28.540 Well, a heavy lean towards the B-bombs there for the defense at the start. 03:09:28.540 --> 03:09:30.460 Three players are here to handle any kind of a rush. 03:09:30.460 --> 03:09:33.420 There's two players coming fast, but it doesn't look like it'll be any kind of a commitment. 03:09:33.420 --> 03:09:34.420 There's the flash play. 03:09:34.420 --> 03:09:37.700 Newsome doesn't want to commit to the fight and okay, he's gonna get one regardless 03:09:38.820 --> 03:09:44.420 Talisman goes down five on four and there's nothing game. Allegiant can really do they're spread around the map at the moment 03:09:51.940 --> 03:09:56.740 Really tough loss to take in a situation they were just kind of looking to force a rotation for some movement 03:09:56.740 --> 03:09:58.740 Maybe force a reaction 03:09:58.820 --> 03:10:03.060 Bit off more than they could chew. Mama's gonna have to be recovered at the tail end of the halls 03:10:04.420 --> 03:10:13.620 and I guess at the moment it looks like game religion the idea is to try and 03:10:13.620 --> 03:10:18.660 execute kind of an improvised mid-round split through middle to short and into 03:10:18.660 --> 03:10:23.860 the B bomb site resin PR and halls hypex and snacks in middle 03:10:26.500 --> 03:10:32.460 smoke fades away at the window R receives some multiple actions towards his feet 03:10:32.460 --> 03:10:34.460 He's got high-packs going into the ladder room, but they don't see him. 03:10:34.460 --> 03:10:37.460 They don't check to Mal because of the distraction set up from his teammates. 03:10:37.460 --> 03:10:40.460 And now PR and Ryze are also falling towards the apartments. 03:10:40.460 --> 03:10:44.460 It's not only a pistol win for Legacy, but it's a dominant pistol win. 03:10:44.460 --> 03:10:47.460 They do not lose a single player at 11-2. 03:10:47.460 --> 03:10:50.460 And we might as well start loading up in Forno. 03:10:50.460 --> 03:10:54.460 Yeah, the legend of DuMal. Triple kill in this pistol, 17-8. 03:10:54.460 --> 03:10:56.460 He showed up to play today. 03:10:56.460 --> 03:10:58.460 Excellent on the first map and a loss. 03:10:58.460 --> 03:11:00.460 Excellent here in the second map. 03:11:00.460 --> 03:11:04.500 It looks like it's gonna end up being a dominant victory. There's no chance in this pistol round 03:11:04.940 --> 03:11:08.380 It's zero chance of getting anything done. Two miles just nasty 03:11:13.780 --> 03:11:16.380 Well no bomb planted off a game of leeching 03:11:17.180 --> 03:11:19.180 So no force by available here 03:11:19.900 --> 03:11:22.740 They can save their money and give it one last good go in the next 03:11:22.740 --> 03:11:25.980 But this is going to result in legacy heading up to map point on Mirage 03:11:25.980 --> 03:11:26.980 Watch. 03:11:26.980 --> 03:11:30.980 Do it now. 03:11:30.980 --> 03:11:32.980 First bludgeon on. 03:11:32.980 --> 03:11:33.980 Stats in. 03:11:33.980 --> 03:11:34.980 Up next. 03:11:34.980 --> 03:11:37.980 All the legacy players just rushing to the kills. 03:11:37.980 --> 03:11:40.980 Wanting to get this one over and done with. 03:11:40.980 --> 03:11:44.980 And settle things on map three. 03:11:44.980 --> 03:11:52.980 For Gaming Legion, it's the last pie here. 03:11:52.980 --> 03:11:53.980 Well, 10 round lead. 03:11:53.980 --> 03:11:54.980 I don't really know what to say. 03:11:54.980 --> 03:12:00.740 Nothing to sell you for here. Let's see if game religion can maybe wake up and give themselves something positive to talk about between the maps 03:12:00.740 --> 03:12:03.620 Otherwise, it'll just have to be a complete reset of the mental game 03:12:05.420 --> 03:12:09.280 Smokes around potentially the only chance with guns on this second half 03:12:18.740 --> 03:12:22.060 Those snacks good start opening kill on sadsy 03:12:24.980 --> 03:12:38.340 He's under a lot of pressure, Snax has got another one, PR filtering in, just two players 03:12:38.340 --> 03:12:40.220 left here for legacy. 03:12:40.220 --> 03:12:44.740 Lato doing what he can, back from CT spawn, but bomb now being picked up from Telsen, 03:12:44.740 --> 03:12:49.220 a lot of it's worth the A site, Lato being dived, getting spammed and finished off by 03:12:49.220 --> 03:12:50.220 Hypex. 03:12:50.220 --> 03:12:52.940 Yeah, they would never let him get out of that situation alive, it was really aggressive 03:12:52.940 --> 03:12:57.180 and poor Nism, nothing to do over at this B-bomb site, MP9 on hand, crossing his fingers, 03:12:57.180 --> 03:12:59.980 hoping they end up here, but that ain't the case. 03:12:59.980 --> 03:13:04.580 So bomb planted, Gamer Legion, get another crack at it. 03:13:04.580 --> 03:13:12.140 It's really just scraping together this third round, but a nice one there, picking up art 03:13:12.140 --> 03:13:20.940 in the window and just scaling with ease. 03:13:20.940 --> 03:13:24.300 on today we have the other semi-final in action we're looking for our first grand 03:13:24.300 --> 03:13:28.780 finalist here in this one Navi and Betboom gonna grace the stage this 03:13:28.780 --> 03:13:35.180 afternoon I get a feeling you guys are really happy that Navi made it there 03:13:35.180 --> 03:13:39.140 I think they're more happy they beat Vitality to be honest are you more happy 03:13:39.140 --> 03:13:49.260 that okay well let's try this are you more happy that apex lost that sounds 03:13:49.260 --> 03:13:56.260 about right? Yeah. Apart for the course here in America. Nine round lead for legacy. The 03:13:56.260 --> 03:14:00.260 question is what are you going to chant now? That's the question, right? We'll find something. 03:14:00.260 --> 03:14:02.260 There's some creative people out there. 03:14:07.260 --> 03:14:11.260 I guess you could just do that one too. The old classic. 03:14:11.260 --> 03:14:14.260 3, 2, 1, go! 03:14:16.260 --> 03:14:19.260 Now it's a slow way, but you're coming there, you see? 03:14:19.260 --> 03:14:20.260 Yes. 03:14:20.260 --> 03:14:21.260 One step at a time. 03:14:21.260 --> 03:14:23.260 Alright, we're at 12-4, so let's do 12-2, yeah? 03:14:25.260 --> 03:14:27.260 Alright, one step at a time, they're saying. 03:14:27.260 --> 03:14:29.260 Ryan's gonna turn the corner on contact. Good kill from Dumali. 03:14:29.260 --> 03:14:33.260 Doubles are somehow, but no one else is available. Lotto picks up the pieces. 03:14:33.260 --> 03:14:37.260 3 on 2, very quickly to the round. It's Snaks left alone with the bomb. 03:14:37.260 --> 03:14:40.260 Quickly, Hypex is shifting over, but Snaks doesn't want to dedicate himself to this. 03:14:40.260 --> 03:14:44.260 Oh, it's going to be very tough to win this 2v3. 03:14:44.260 --> 03:14:47.260 Snacks coming out of the ramp, now needs this headshot. 03:14:47.260 --> 03:14:50.260 He does pick it up, takes a lot of damage on board, but Snacks is gone. 03:14:50.260 --> 03:14:53.260 So it's got to be Hypex. 03:14:54.260 --> 03:14:57.260 Haven't really seen him have that big clutch moment today. 03:14:57.260 --> 03:14:59.260 We won't see him here on Mirage. 03:14:59.260 --> 03:15:01.260 A great performance from Dumau. 03:15:01.260 --> 03:15:04.260 His delivered legacy, a dominant Mirage victory. 03:15:04.260 --> 03:15:08.260 A 13-3 as they send this semi-final to map 3. 03:15:08.260 --> 03:15:12.260 Inferno decides who's going into the Grand Finals in Atlanta. 03:16:08.260 --> 03:16:19.380 It doesn't matter what day you're joining us. 03:16:19.380 --> 03:16:26.940 This is the Intellect Tree Masters in Atlanta, Georgia, 2026. 03:16:26.940 --> 03:16:31.380 Mike Chegg, one, two, one, two, you play video games, man? 03:16:31.380 --> 03:16:33.380 So violent for no reason. 03:16:33.380 --> 03:16:34.380 Hey, yo, what's up? 03:16:34.380 --> 03:16:36.020 Y'all anything about counter-tracking video games? 03:16:36.020 --> 03:16:37.020 You know about counter-tracking? 03:16:37.020 --> 03:16:38.020 Yeah. 03:16:38.020 --> 03:16:43.300 Tech fencing team. Tell me what crossroads there might be between counter strike and fencing. 03:16:43.300 --> 03:16:48.980 You know, a counter striker in a clutch situation was kind of the one-to-one situation of you and your opponent fencing. 03:16:48.980 --> 03:16:52.500 Just going in for the last stab or that last quick-skill up. 03:16:53.380 --> 03:16:55.940 Alright, bet. That was good. 03:16:55.940 --> 03:16:58.980 What do y'all think about people playing video games against each other competitively? 03:16:58.980 --> 03:17:01.460 Oh, I love it. I like the smack-talking they do. 03:17:01.460 --> 03:17:02.900 They're not the hot-gonna-dumb men! 03:17:02.900 --> 03:17:04.260 Who are your favorite Counter Strike players? 03:17:04.260 --> 03:17:06.020 I gotta go with an OG Kenny S. 03:17:06.020 --> 03:17:08.340 What would you say to Kenny S if he was watching right now? 03:17:08.340 --> 03:17:09.460 You're my inspiration. 03:17:09.460 --> 03:17:11.540 I think about you every match, but I'm fencing. 03:17:11.540 --> 03:17:12.660 What do you think about that? 03:17:12.660 --> 03:17:15.140 Kenny S was never my favorite, if that's what you're thinking. 03:17:16.100 --> 03:17:17.620 Y'all play video games, buddy? Chance? 03:17:20.580 --> 03:17:22.740 Oh, he didn't even realize it. 03:17:22.740 --> 03:17:25.540 I mean, Jacob, when you rolled up here and you saw this mic, 03:17:25.540 --> 03:17:27.780 you said, oh, I'm gonna bike a little bit faster now. 03:17:27.780 --> 03:17:28.500 What do you think? 03:17:28.500 --> 03:17:32.100 I thought I might as well get as far as where it's possible from you. 03:17:32.100 --> 03:17:33.220 As fast as I can. 03:17:33.220 --> 03:17:34.420 Do you have fun with me today? 03:17:34.420 --> 03:17:38.820 I had a blast in media days. You did what? You had blasted media day? 03:17:40.260 --> 03:17:50.340 Just kidding. No, no, all right. Bye. 03:17:56.420 --> 03:18:01.860 No question who was in the driver's seat in this one. We wanted that signature Brazilian pace and 03:18:01.860 --> 03:18:05.300 And that is exactly what was delivered here on Mirage. 03:18:05.300 --> 03:18:07.780 Exactly what we wanted to see from Legacy as well. 03:18:07.780 --> 03:18:09.980 And on the inverse, it made Game of Legion and Co. 03:18:09.980 --> 03:18:12.340 feel a little bit flat on the second map. 03:18:12.340 --> 03:18:13.340 Yeah, definitely so. 03:18:13.340 --> 03:18:15.100 I mean, they did look in the pistol 03:18:15.100 --> 03:18:16.940 even to kick off the game. 03:18:16.940 --> 03:18:19.220 But that was it, really, for them. 03:18:19.220 --> 03:18:21.340 On Mirage, it feels like Legacy was 03:18:21.340 --> 03:18:23.540 able to turn it around immediately, 03:18:23.540 --> 03:18:25.500 played with more pace, individuals stepped up. 03:18:25.500 --> 03:18:28.500 Everything we asked for after Ancient, it happened. 03:18:28.500 --> 03:18:31.780 And Game of Legion now will have to do some soul searching 03:18:31.780 --> 03:18:36.660 their own. Yeah, those anchors, I wanted to praise so much coming into this matchup. They 03:18:36.660 --> 03:18:42.980 struggled to find the right position to sit in to alleviate any building pressure on these 03:18:42.980 --> 03:18:47.460 bomb sites. You can get those pop possible even in that second half pistol that's showing on screen. 03:18:47.460 --> 03:18:52.020 You know, they just lack said they sickle clears are not clearing angles properly. See head in 03:18:52.020 --> 03:18:55.860 hands after that pistol as well because I know they're the ones that made the mistake there. 03:18:55.860 --> 03:19:00.500 It did seem like they understood as soon as that happened. Game was over. And that's the thing. It 03:19:00.500 --> 03:19:06.500 It feels so tough after coming off of what was another impressive show on HMW, felt like they had all of the correct reads. 03:19:06.500 --> 03:19:12.300 I thought, I guess you're so impressive from the side of legacy, if you come out this hot, this fast, game leaders couldn't handle it. 03:19:12.300 --> 03:19:19.100 Well, one of the things, Fred, that differentiates, you know, elite teams for good teams, is the map pool, is the depth of your map pool, right? 03:19:19.100 --> 03:19:24.100 Like, there's a lot of teams out there that can be incredibly strong on one or two maps, right? 03:19:24.100 --> 03:19:27.200 And if you play them on those maps, like, they can challenge almost anyone in the world. 03:19:27.200 --> 03:19:31.000 But what happens, how good are you on your fourth best map in the pool? 03:19:31.120 --> 03:19:34.200 The fifth best map, because you're going to have to play those at some point, 03:19:34.320 --> 03:19:35.960 depending on matchups and what's not. 03:19:36.080 --> 03:19:38.600 And I think you're seeing, when we have these teams, 03:19:38.720 --> 03:19:42.240 they're outside the top 10, and I know it's a semi-final of a big tournament, 03:19:42.360 --> 03:19:45.640 but still this is where you see why they are outside the top 10. 03:19:45.760 --> 03:19:48.880 If you go on a map that you're not super confident on, 03:19:49.000 --> 03:19:51.160 Omuraj is one of the most played ones per game of Legion, 03:19:51.280 --> 03:19:53.360 but with varying degrees of success, 03:19:53.480 --> 03:19:55.480 and then legacy for them, it's a very strong map. 03:19:55.480 --> 03:19:59.240 Like things like this can happen. We're just get blown out of the server 03:19:59.240 --> 03:20:04.360 It's also game religion just didn't ever find the conduit that actually found them a win on ancient as well 03:20:04.360 --> 03:20:06.360 You know stacks was doing a great job on that map 03:20:07.100 --> 03:20:10.360 We had Talisman doing great things as well. Everybody was pretty 03:20:10.840 --> 03:20:16.560 Pretty poor in fact on the map and I think you know especially with how much praise we were giving him coming into this series 03:20:16.560 --> 03:20:21.640 Where where is the high-packs that actually stole the the hearts of I think a lot of people in the audience here? 03:20:21.640 --> 03:20:24.040 because we're not really getting that same impact on stage. 03:20:24.040 --> 03:20:24.840 It's a very good question. 03:20:24.840 --> 03:20:26.740 Maybe he gets to show up on that side of Inferno. 03:20:26.740 --> 03:20:27.240 Maybe. 03:20:27.240 --> 03:20:30.240 But we're getting hype from Dumau, right? 03:20:30.240 --> 03:20:31.940 He kept it going. 03:20:31.940 --> 03:20:35.540 And early on, right, he was the deciding factor, really, 03:20:35.540 --> 03:20:37.140 to give momentum to his team. 03:20:37.140 --> 03:20:39.040 We can jump into some of these rounds. 03:20:39.040 --> 03:20:41.540 And I know Gordon Gekko said greed is good, 03:20:41.540 --> 03:20:42.740 but not in Counter-Strike. 03:20:42.740 --> 03:20:45.740 And you'll see gamer Legion pay for that fully. 03:20:45.740 --> 03:20:48.340 Towson is actually going to do a good job of battling 03:20:48.340 --> 03:20:50.340 with this early aggression, him and Rez. 03:20:50.340 --> 03:20:51.940 You know, they get the kill. 03:20:51.940 --> 03:20:53.940 Dumau now, Lurg Stausen. 03:20:53.940 --> 03:20:56.820 Mmm, I hate this from us. 03:20:56.820 --> 03:20:58.500 What's over there? 03:20:58.500 --> 03:20:59.540 What's this? 03:20:59.540 --> 03:21:00.380 Ah, I'm dead. 03:21:00.380 --> 03:21:01.860 And Dumau just bounces immediately. 03:21:01.860 --> 03:21:02.980 Like, they just capitalize that. 03:21:02.980 --> 03:21:04.500 They're 45, they have no control. 03:21:04.500 --> 03:21:05.820 This is their best bet. 03:21:05.820 --> 03:21:07.380 Some nice flashes here. 03:21:07.380 --> 03:21:09.100 He gets the better of Rez. 03:21:09.100 --> 03:21:10.060 That's the second entry. 03:21:10.060 --> 03:21:11.180 Boom, snacks. 03:21:11.180 --> 03:21:12.020 See ya later. 03:21:12.020 --> 03:21:13.700 Third entry, and that's the round. 03:21:13.700 --> 03:21:15.340 Dunlin' Dusted, really, from this point. 03:21:15.340 --> 03:21:16.700 Like I said, that was huge, right? 03:21:16.700 --> 03:21:18.140 Because they were struggling. 03:21:18.140 --> 03:21:19.860 You know, even on Asia, they struggled in gun rounds. 03:21:19.860 --> 03:21:23.820 They won both pistols, so here to be able to get another strong start 03:21:23.820 --> 03:21:27.060 I think was crucial for this T side that they had. 03:21:27.060 --> 03:21:30.900 Yeah, it wasn't as though game religion didn't get into some winning positions within this game 03:21:30.900 --> 03:21:34.020 But there was always someone that responded as well 03:21:34.100 --> 03:21:39.260 There was I mean not as many kills or not much impact from Doom out there or rather from lasso 03:21:40.100 --> 03:21:44.820 Compared to Doom out but Lato had a very big moment as well on that T side that could have 03:21:45.060 --> 03:21:48.380 Potentially been the way back into the game for game. That's the thing, right? 03:21:48.380 --> 03:21:51.740 And when you're looking at the hesitation time, I guess from legacy in this one 03:21:51.740 --> 03:21:56.300 It felt second to none, right? They made a decision and then they went full force for and I paid off so many times 03:21:56.460 --> 03:22:00.180 Yes, certainly, you know that it's really important as well in counter strike 03:22:00.180 --> 03:22:04.740 You know a great call can turn into a terrible call if it's executed two seconds too late 03:22:04.740 --> 03:22:09.180 Or if you hesitate, right? Like you have to be decisive. You have to trust the call 03:22:09.180 --> 03:22:11.660 You have to you know trust your instincts as well 03:22:11.660 --> 03:22:14.300 You're not always going to be right, but it's much better 03:22:14.300 --> 03:22:19.140 You know if you have a bad read, but you still go for the round, you know with the decisive list 03:22:19.140 --> 03:22:23.560 It has a much higher chance of success than you have the best read but people are doubting 03:22:23.560 --> 03:22:27.260 They're a little bit slow. They don't trust it's a hundred percent like it can go horribly wrong 03:22:27.260 --> 03:22:29.600 Let's look at our trusting an instinct in this one as well 03:22:29.600 --> 03:22:34.020 Yeah, this was also just indicative of the field that legacy had for the rounds 03:22:34.020 --> 03:22:35.380 I mean, this is against an eco 03:22:35.380 --> 03:22:35.820 It's true 03:22:35.820 --> 03:22:42.120 But the fact they're taking a risk by fully contacting out ramp where there could be a deagle there could be a scout or something 03:22:42.120 --> 03:22:47.040 posted on this angle and for art he gets away with absolutely bloody murder here 03:22:47.040 --> 03:22:50.700 because he finds a little ahead of one accidentally kills the second guy as well 03:22:50.700 --> 03:22:54.600 from the spray and he just instinctively knew that he could continue to press the 03:22:54.600 --> 03:22:57.920 attack he understood game religion wanted to make something happen in around 03:22:57.920 --> 03:23:01.160 like this where you have so little and he called them before they could even get 03:23:01.160 --> 03:23:06.040 started this is just art relapsing a little bit for you know it happens like 03:23:06.040 --> 03:23:10.040 he's different now but every now and again you know the old habits they 03:23:10.040 --> 03:23:13.600 start pooling on you right like could have been a scout in ticket could have 03:23:13.600 --> 03:23:17.000 been so many different things he just decides to contact walk out ramp against 03:23:17.000 --> 03:23:21.960 pistols but this time he gets an ace. Old habits very hard I guess Jason will also 03:23:21.960 --> 03:23:25.800 assess to that one as well let's move on to a moment where game of legion felt 03:23:25.800 --> 03:23:30.720 like they might have had an advantage and then a 1v3 comes in. This was sort of 03:23:30.720 --> 03:23:35.000 the final nail in the coffin even though it was early you know but but exactly 03:23:35.000 --> 03:23:37.440 because of the fashion in which they lost like when you're losing these sort of 03:23:37.440 --> 03:23:39.440 It doesn't matter which map it is, right? 03:23:39.440 --> 03:23:42.440 When you lose 5-4 against pistols in the second round. 03:23:42.440 --> 03:23:45.440 When you're losing 3v1s that, you know, you need to close out. 03:23:45.440 --> 03:23:47.440 Like the game is getting out of hand at this point. 03:23:47.440 --> 03:23:51.440 And a bit more pace from Legacy with this mid-control, mid-fight, 03:23:51.440 --> 03:23:54.440 turning into a B-split, flashing through the smoke. 03:23:54.440 --> 03:23:56.440 PR still gets the kill. 03:23:56.440 --> 03:23:59.440 You know, a lot of chaos going on, smokes being broken. 03:23:59.440 --> 03:24:01.440 Fights taking place back and forth. 03:24:01.440 --> 03:24:03.440 Flyable's a nasty shot from Nysim. 03:24:03.440 --> 03:24:08.400 then snacks, rolling back big ears, just playing around the smoke, staying alive, 03:24:08.400 --> 03:24:13.280 finding a kill, what is our doing, get used to it, just another day in the office for him, 03:24:13.280 --> 03:24:18.960 but actually, Towson in this whole chaos, once they actually go his way towards the B bomb site, 03:24:18.960 --> 03:24:25.280 he's going to do a great job of finding two kills, staying alive a little bit up until the very end, 03:24:25.280 --> 03:24:31.280 where he oversteps slightly, but it's difficult from his position, he's unsure where Lato can move 03:24:31.280 --> 03:24:36.560 and Lato just does a brilliant job here at managing the angles, his awareness is also incredibly high 03:24:36.560 --> 03:24:42.160 after having contact, waits for this push from Snacks, gets rid of Irm and then against PR 03:24:42.160 --> 03:24:47.680 it's a bit more brawly, it's not as pretty, but he kept his composure and closed out the one with him. 03:24:47.680 --> 03:24:52.080 How much is that game of legion misplaying this situation as opposed to Lato doing amazingly, 03:24:52.080 --> 03:24:54.800 not taking anything away from his reads on that, what would you say? 03:24:54.800 --> 03:24:59.280 I think if you're going to nitpick, like Taosan just should shoulder peek, he's 03:24:59.280 --> 03:25:05.400 He's peaked too wide, you know, being behind the wall, you never want to get crept on as 03:25:05.400 --> 03:25:08.720 your shoulder peaking and die like in a food that makes you feel silly. 03:25:08.720 --> 03:25:12.640 But seeing how it's a 3v1 and Snax is on the flank, he just needed to stay alive. 03:25:12.640 --> 03:25:16.360 So even if he dies like that, he's bought enough time because Lato had to push up, creep 03:25:16.360 --> 03:25:21.920 up, then probably Snax is in a much better position to trade him, or at least to close 03:25:21.920 --> 03:25:22.920 out the round for Gamelidge. 03:25:22.920 --> 03:25:26.920 That was probably that temptation because he caught Lato actually at first, and before 03:25:26.920 --> 03:25:27.920 the one B three even got started 03:25:27.920 --> 03:25:31.920 did like half of his health and damage and then just thought well, there should be an easier fight now, but 03:25:31.920 --> 03:25:37.920 Then the one B three happens. I mean if you're game a legion all that you can do really is move swiftly on because you have one more opportunity 03:25:37.920 --> 03:25:42.920 That is inferno, which is going to be a really interesting one if you want to look from the legacy side first of all 03:25:42.920 --> 03:25:46.920 This was a map that by the skin of their teeth. They managed to take down Navi, right? 03:25:46.920 --> 03:25:48.920 What did you maybe take away from what we saw there? 03:25:48.920 --> 03:25:52.920 Yeah, I mean the big thing for legacy in that game was that they were trailing towards the end of that in 03:25:52.920 --> 03:25:57.640 that in inferno and actually were able to string five rounds together and a lot of that came off of 03:25:57.640 --> 03:26:02.280 individuals locking down bombsites because Navi do a really good job of pulling you the wrong 03:26:02.280 --> 03:26:08.360 direction during misdirection at you that's the the blade in Alexi effect really but I'm not sure 03:26:08.360 --> 03:26:13.640 that Gamer Legion are going to have as much of that sort of push pull dynamic and when the if 03:26:13.640 --> 03:26:19.160 artens his his coach are able to sort of get a better read on on what's happening here for for 03:26:19.160 --> 03:26:22.600 Gamer Legion I do think that they are going to out muscle them but when it comes to defending 03:26:22.600 --> 03:26:29.000 those bombsites. I figured it out Freya. It's gonna blow your mind. Camelige need better starts. 03:26:30.040 --> 03:26:35.400 They lost three out of the four pistols and the one time they won pistol they lost the second round. 03:26:35.400 --> 03:26:39.480 So it's just been really hard. Always had to play from behind in that sense. 03:26:39.480 --> 03:26:43.560 On ancient yeah they did a great job and they were very dominant in gun rounds and Mirage 03:26:43.560 --> 03:26:48.280 okay it was a struggle they got stomped but in inferno it's going to be a bit more of an 03:26:48.280 --> 03:26:53.080 even playing field, right? So if you end up in another situation where you're giving this momentum 03:26:53.080 --> 03:26:56.920 to legacy, and for legacy especially, there are teams that likes to be aggressive, you know, 03:26:56.920 --> 03:27:01.240 likes to get in your face. Well, that's much easier to do when you have 4 or 5k in the bank, 03:27:01.240 --> 03:27:05.240 and you know that even if this round that you're going for some aggressive play doesn't work out, 03:27:05.240 --> 03:27:10.440 you can still buy. Inferno, you need the utility, right, to be able to do really anything on the 03:27:10.440 --> 03:27:15.640 map. So the economy plays an even bigger part on this map. I think it will be difficult for 03:27:15.640 --> 03:27:18.200 the game. This is a very 03:27:18.200 --> 03:27:19.000 very, very important point for 03:27:19.000 --> 03:27:19.800 game religion coming in is that 03:27:19.800 --> 03:27:21.240 they're very prep heavy. We've 03:27:21.240 --> 03:27:22.680 seen how they benefited from 03:27:22.680 --> 03:27:24.540 that from in their previous 03:27:24.540 --> 03:27:25.580 series, But I think legacy of 03:27:25.580 --> 03:27:27.140 actually been doing a good job 03:27:27.140 --> 03:27:27.940 from map to map, changing the 03:27:27.940 --> 03:27:29.180 way that they're attacking. You 03:27:29.180 --> 03:27:31.120 know, in one game, I'll watch 03:27:31.120 --> 03:27:32.860 their heavy, heavy be attacks, 03:27:32.860 --> 03:27:34.360 rushes, heavy util sets, but 03:27:34.360 --> 03:27:35.920 against not be. They really 03:27:35.920 --> 03:27:37.360 tried to put pressure on that 03:27:37.360 --> 03:27:39.320 long side and forced some kind 03:27:39.320 --> 03:27:40.920 of overreactions from Navi in 03:27:40.920 --> 03:27:42.320 that game as well. So I'm not 03:27:42.320 --> 03:27:43.220 sure if there's going to be 03:27:43.220 --> 03:27:44.200 something special cooked up 03:27:44.200 --> 03:27:45.360 given it's the decider map in 03:27:45.360 --> 03:27:50.280 was rolling back the years, you know, on this map yesterday, he was absolutely 03:27:50.280 --> 03:27:54.640 lights out and I think at the end of the day it does come down to the players in 03:27:54.640 --> 03:27:58.120 some of these clutch situations to deliver, right? It's going to be hard 03:27:58.120 --> 03:28:02.840 to out call completely your opponent.

They can beat whoever comes out. 03:33:38.900 --> 03:33:43.900 Taliesin with... Oh my God, that's quick. That's so fast. One tap. Barely saw it. 03:33:43.900 --> 03:33:46.900 I made a great start from Taliesin. Can't be bad to that if you're game a legion. 03:33:46.900 --> 03:33:49.620 game. Allegiant know and you love seeing that aggressive from a team who's been a 03:33:49.620 --> 03:33:52.420 little bit more calculated and feels throughout this throughout the series so 03:33:52.420 --> 03:33:57.300 far a great effect on the first map not so much the second on the CT pistol 03:33:57.300 --> 03:34:00.700 Mirage game. Allegiant lost the force by the next and from that point onwards it 03:34:00.700 --> 03:34:05.260 became a dominant T side from legacy still a 4v5 it's 03:34:05.260 --> 03:34:08.780 recoverable here for legacy as they head towards an A site with a passive setup 03:34:08.780 --> 03:34:11.660 yeah especially because they're going to the weaker bomb site right I mean this 03:34:11.660 --> 03:34:14.020 is this is kind of game religion expecting with the man down you're 03:34:14.020 --> 03:34:15.120 going to finish at the B site. 03:34:15.120 --> 03:34:17.440 Reza's going to start moving now with the information. 03:34:17.440 --> 03:34:19.880 Doubled up in pit, and if the Molotov lands 03:34:19.880 --> 03:34:21.480 in the right place, they're in trouble. 03:34:21.480 --> 03:34:22.960 Same with the bullets. 03:34:22.960 --> 03:34:24.680 Well, high-pack speaking out into the open. 03:34:24.680 --> 03:34:25.920 He's got himself a good head shot, 03:34:25.920 --> 03:34:27.880 but sad's in to make quick work of it. 03:34:27.880 --> 03:34:31.280 A 3B3, as legacy of Flether, way back into the round again. 03:34:31.280 --> 03:34:32.400 Yeah, and there's some time still left 03:34:32.400 --> 03:34:33.640 on this smoke going up. 03:34:33.640 --> 03:34:34.880 Bomb planted. 03:34:34.880 --> 03:34:37.040 Art takes a ton of damage from that HG grenade, 03:34:37.040 --> 03:34:38.840 but the retake is going to come around through lane. 03:34:38.840 --> 03:34:41.360 Well, time is an important word, a key word, in fact, 03:34:41.360 --> 03:34:43.120 in this retake, because there's no kit available 03:34:43.120 --> 03:34:48.080 the three remaining players nor any utility is gonna be so difficult to flush out the 03:34:48.080 --> 03:34:51.520 T's in time but Doom out, caught inside of the site, they know what the other one is 03:34:51.520 --> 03:34:55.520 too, inside of the bomb site, Satsen has to hide in pit and buy time and pull attention, 03:34:55.520 --> 03:35:01.800 Orn is so low but he still gets a head shot, and Satsen, that is stylish in the pit, that 03:35:01.800 --> 03:35:05.200 has fired him off, the Brazilians break through and win the pistol. 03:35:05.200 --> 03:35:09.520 They should be fired up, you notice how important that kill is, that's huge, they actually got 03:35:09.520 --> 03:35:13.520 put in a disadvantage on that retake. Everyone kind of looked elsewhere. It didn't look comfortable. 03:35:13.520 --> 03:35:15.520 This is how it started. 03:35:15.520 --> 03:35:18.520 This hits the dirt like that and you get a little bit worried. 03:35:18.520 --> 03:35:21.520 But a gleam take on this double performance and pit. 03:35:21.520 --> 03:35:24.520 Two for one trades for Legacy and then Sadson closes it out. 03:35:27.520 --> 03:35:30.520 Alright, another good start for Legacy. 03:35:30.520 --> 03:35:33.520 What can they do with it on the T side of Inferno? 03:35:33.520 --> 03:35:35.520 That's going to pile on the frustration, right? 03:35:35.520 --> 03:35:38.520 You never seen game of legend get into map 2, right? 03:35:38.520 --> 03:35:42.400 They've never seen them play themselves into Mirage, so you come in, you get the advantage 03:35:42.400 --> 03:35:45.960 early here on the pistol, you start to feel like maybe you can climb out of the hole straight 03:35:45.960 --> 03:35:48.480 away, and then this happens to you. 03:35:48.480 --> 03:35:51.480 Setting up a little bit of a trap. 03:35:51.480 --> 03:35:54.760 Art talked about this in the pre-game interview, he's noticed they like a few gimmicky things, 03:35:54.760 --> 03:35:57.760 they like to do little tricks, throw those into the mix, and now there's going to be 03:35:57.760 --> 03:36:01.760 another one, but he spots it early enough, they can actually call this off. 03:36:01.760 --> 03:36:06.800 They have the advantage of weaponry, so Sylda's going to press forward, who cares? 03:36:06.800 --> 03:36:08.800 They swatter them all! 03:36:08.800 --> 03:36:11.800 Well, that's the confidence that Legacy have right now. 03:36:11.800 --> 03:36:14.800 It's okay, right? There's a stack here, we're aware of it. 03:36:14.800 --> 03:36:17.800 We do have the better guns, and let's just go in and kill them. 03:36:17.800 --> 03:36:20.800 They had no option to go into the archway because they have their own smoke up, 03:36:20.800 --> 03:36:23.800 so piloting through that, they don't know if they're going to get caught on the other side. 03:36:23.800 --> 03:36:27.800 Two-zero lead for Legacy, game religion getting into the Byrons, now straight away. 03:36:29.800 --> 03:36:32.800 No wallpout yet for Hypex, of course, it's just going to be rifles. 03:36:32.800 --> 03:36:37.480 First look at how legacy is going to approach the banana portion of this map is going to be really interesting 03:36:37.480 --> 03:36:41.940 How aggressive do they want to be in terms of taking it pain yesterday preferred to be a bit more passive at the opening 03:36:42.040 --> 03:36:45.400 Sitting far back kind of letting game religion just kind of play a standard setup 03:36:45.840 --> 03:36:51.160 After you feel like at some point legacy is going to change that you're going to see that aggression focus on that part of the map for now 03:36:51.160 --> 03:36:53.600 With these map 10s, it's up middle and through the smoke 03:36:57.040 --> 03:37:00.200 They just gonna come charging through okay, right is that the ready though 03:37:00.200 --> 03:37:02.200 Two skills in the sweet, not bad at all. 03:37:02.200 --> 03:37:05.200 High-packs over run over well, but the right-force just keeps coming, 03:37:05.200 --> 03:37:07.200 player after player, available for Gamer Legion. 03:37:07.200 --> 03:37:10.200 And another one there, just not ready for it. 03:37:10.200 --> 03:37:12.200 Snacks is out with a big two-row, is good, 03:37:12.200 --> 03:37:16.200 in strength of numbers for Gamer Legion to get their first round win. 03:37:16.200 --> 03:37:19.200 To read of the situation for Gamer Legion, probably did a little bit of prep. 03:37:19.200 --> 03:37:21.200 Legacy's been running things like that for a while now, 03:37:21.200 --> 03:37:24.200 and knowing it's a little by, knowing there's still Mac 10s in play, 03:37:24.200 --> 03:37:27.200 Gamer Legion was set up to make sure there's no room to operate with. 03:37:27.200 --> 03:37:29.200 I think for Legacy though, 03:37:29.200 --> 03:37:34.120 I think they're still feeling like that's a win coming out of this round right part of that round is meant to take kills 03:37:34.120 --> 03:37:38.720 Keep the money low put it and really tenuous position, which they've accomplished with three frags in the round 03:37:40.080 --> 03:37:43.140 So you set it up to be even more punishing if you can win this one 03:37:43.140 --> 03:38:00.840 Sats in all the way up towards top middle searching for this pick. 03:38:00.840 --> 03:38:05.900 It's a cross five between Rez and Hypex and Hypex taking first contact and also taking 03:38:05.900 --> 03:38:08.740 the first kill. 03:38:08.740 --> 03:38:10.580 Senses pressure with utility coming towards him. 03:38:10.580 --> 03:38:13.040 This does make Rez a lot weaker when he doesn't have his teammate. 03:38:13.040 --> 03:38:16.380 He goes too far into the open, extends and allows Sads and that kill in the off. 03:38:16.380 --> 03:38:18.180 Yeah, there's a tantalizing crossback. 03:38:18.180 --> 03:38:21.480 I think this is some spot of a gun barrel, so he's going to call one in pit, one in the bomb site. 03:38:21.480 --> 03:38:25.180 Legacy, although it's covering the off-air, Sads and Lucky to be alive. 03:38:25.180 --> 03:38:26.780 Snacks didn't want to commit to the fight. 03:38:26.780 --> 03:38:28.380 Yeah, just go for a minute on this clock. 03:38:28.380 --> 03:38:30.480 His legacy now around the corner at long. 03:38:30.980 --> 03:38:33.880 Smokers down from Moto and Library for the time being. 03:38:34.580 --> 03:38:35.980 Lato getting closer to him. 03:38:35.980 --> 03:38:39.980 He's spouting back at Hypex, giving the information over how close Legacy really are. 03:38:39.980 --> 03:38:45.040 But all that's going to do is make cameo legend feel more suffocated as Lato moves towards the archway 03:38:45.200 --> 03:38:48.380 PR tentative and speedway the timing for him to peek out as good 03:38:48.380 --> 03:38:52.820 He catches Lato, snacks he's out helping him from library, and snacks takes two headshots 03:38:53.020 --> 03:38:58.360 Slopping the bomb and winning the trail for game religion. I think legacy just got caught there with no options 03:38:58.360 --> 03:39:01.500 They kind of got trapped on wrap side not wanting to push forward into the smokes 03:39:01.500 --> 03:39:06.540 I don't think they had a plan from that point on and just trying to improvise the walk in towards CT spawn 03:39:06.540 --> 03:39:11.380 But there's been so much pressure on that part of the map for so long that gamer legion just sets up for it 03:39:11.380 --> 03:39:15.280 They're just well prepared for it and legacy do exactly what they expect exactly what they want 03:39:18.620 --> 03:39:23.740 Great kill as red slides out for the fight free firing for an offer, but this is just better from PR and snacks 03:39:27.340 --> 03:39:31.220 Trap later traps prong sadson gonna save the all for the next rounds 03:39:32.460 --> 03:39:35.180 At least getting that luxury to carry that over but 03:39:36.540 --> 03:39:40.300 At this point, Gamelige would be happy to actually start getting into the game. 03:39:40.300 --> 03:39:42.300 I mean, it's been a while since we've seen that. 03:39:42.300 --> 03:39:46.620 And that's then outlasting the kind of early, like that tug of war that they want to... 03:39:46.620 --> 03:39:48.620 Oh, okay, hello. 03:39:49.340 --> 03:39:51.340 Well done. Congratulations. 03:39:53.260 --> 03:39:58.220 But yeah, it's definitely a hotly contested over the first couple of rounds here in Gamelige. 03:39:58.220 --> 03:40:00.860 And even in those rounds, it looks touch and go for a bit. 03:40:00.860 --> 03:40:04.220 But they come out on top. Like, legacy half that hole put their economy at a weak point. 03:40:04.220 --> 03:40:05.660 But with that loss, theirs was as well. 03:40:05.660 --> 03:40:09.700 So they're the ones who get broken first really in this round all you have is satsons off the player rounds 03:40:10.900 --> 03:40:16.900 And we saw an ancient what happened when game religion had the advantage of a comedy when they had the weapons and utility constantly 03:40:17.140 --> 03:40:23.180 Well, I can see couldn't figure out a breakthrough an ancient should be much better gear to do it here on a funnel 03:40:24.740 --> 03:40:30.860 Satsons on the 78 HP. I'm sure the only play that can do anything in this round is Satsons 03:40:30.860 --> 03:40:35.860 No secret about where it was all paced. 03:40:35.860 --> 03:40:37.860 It's going to have to be a slower round too. 03:40:37.860 --> 03:40:39.860 It's just the glocks and only two smokes to work with. 03:40:39.860 --> 03:40:41.860 They want those smokes eventually for an executive. 03:40:41.860 --> 03:40:44.860 Sadzen can help lead them close to a bomb site. 03:40:44.860 --> 03:40:49.860 So waiting out the CT utility of the choke points until they get some clear pathing. 03:40:53.860 --> 03:40:56.860 PR commits himself on top of the half wall. 03:40:56.860 --> 03:40:59.860 Oh, it's a perfect nade. Great damage onto Sadzen. 03:41:00.860 --> 03:41:09.020 It's the Flick up, but PR to drop the AWPer with the AK, so Art gets to go with it, but 03:41:09.020 --> 03:41:10.520 PR is starting to bottom him. 03:41:10.520 --> 03:41:14.140 I'm going to kill this time on this, and he'll retreat back around the half wall. 03:41:14.140 --> 03:41:16.740 And you've been waiting this whole round for that smoke at the bottom of Banana to fade. 03:41:16.740 --> 03:41:19.940 You lose your AWPer, you lose a second player, and even though it's recovered, another smoke 03:41:19.940 --> 03:41:24.940 replenishes the choke point, so not even able to find any good looks with the AWP. 03:41:24.940 --> 03:41:32.940 We're talking about all the time. Inferno, the AWP on wheelie except in support of fashion. 03:41:32.940 --> 03:41:36.940 So enough of the rifles to create the space for it. This is kind of what you see. 03:41:36.940 --> 03:41:41.940 Yeah, just completely stalled out. Trying to get through the fire, wanting to die before the time here. 03:41:41.940 --> 03:41:45.940 Final 10 seconds that the launch charge in, wanting extra money to play with in the next round. 03:41:45.940 --> 03:41:50.940 And PR will provide them with that. That's a 4k from PR in this round. He's up to 5 and 2. 03:41:50.940 --> 03:41:56.380 You do want to see the rifling engine come on line of game religion. We see now in a big way for legacy, right? 03:41:56.380 --> 03:41:58.860 We started up Mirage saying all right do not art 03:41:58.860 --> 03:42:02.740 We're good on the first map with even spot a loss got to see a little bit more from the others 03:42:02.740 --> 03:42:08.300 Especially Lato and we did we got to see that from legacy and we also see them out continue the strong performance 03:42:08.300 --> 03:42:15.100 But for game a legion who disappeared on map to you want to see that form return from the likes of Talisman PR and Reds 03:42:15.100 --> 03:42:18.060 Well, someone's name we haven't had to say a lot throughout this throughout the series 03:42:18.060 --> 03:42:27.060 He wasn't necessarily needed too much on Ancient, the Alt didn't have to have impact, so here on Inferno, when he gets that, I don't know if he can get it rolling, can dictate a lot from the CT side of the map. 03:42:27.060 --> 03:42:33.060 Now we're seeing a bit more aggression towards Banana for Legacy to open up these rounds, too. Mal hiding inside the smoke. 03:42:48.060 --> 03:42:51.960 Some retake utility to slow this down, change the timing. 03:42:51.960 --> 03:42:55.560 DuMile steps through looking for the counter push. 03:42:55.560 --> 03:42:56.960 Oh, it's a beautiful swing. 03:42:56.960 --> 03:42:58.680 Yeah, DuMile's not going to slow down either. 03:42:58.680 --> 03:43:01.040 Once he smells blood, he's going for it all. 03:43:01.040 --> 03:43:02.360 High packs though. 03:43:02.360 --> 03:43:03.360 He mentioned everything. 03:43:03.360 --> 03:43:06.120 Comes out with a big double here and P.R. at the back of the site 03:43:06.120 --> 03:43:08.680 because a lot more comfortable knowing that his teammate is 03:43:08.680 --> 03:43:10.440 just thinned out the herd like that. 03:43:10.440 --> 03:43:11.720 Art is gone. 03:43:11.720 --> 03:43:14.120 Satsun and Nissen, the last two remaining members here 03:43:14.120 --> 03:43:16.520 of Legacy, and they're held at the door of the people. 03:43:16.520 --> 03:43:23.020 here not getting through high-packs is shut them down in this one and Satsen has to march away once again around that legacy 03:43:23.020 --> 03:43:26.320 Just don't get into and I think this is this is the rough side of 03:43:27.600 --> 03:43:31.160 Legacy style is when you have this kind of momentum base swing 03:43:31.160 --> 03:43:34.760 They're super aggressive. They're looking for fights constantly do now gets that kill 03:43:34.760 --> 03:43:39.880 And I mean you have the option of just kind of backing out hitting the pause button spreading out across the map and playing the mid-round 03:43:40.800 --> 03:43:44.960 But they sense that weakness they sense that kill and say okay. We've just taken one of the defenders away 03:43:44.960 --> 03:43:50.680 Let's all continue pushing just get annihilated not expecting that third player of high-packs to be here already 03:43:51.120 --> 03:43:55.800 He's swinging out. You can't stop him to malcant react in time and PR still ready and waiting 03:43:58.920 --> 03:44:04.720 Honest stylistically in this round and as the timer comes to a close sadden once again will have this off 03:44:04.720 --> 03:44:09.240 It's been brought forward in a save about three rounds straight legacy. Just cannot find the winning recipe 03:44:12.560 --> 03:44:14.560 For a row for gamer legion 03:44:14.960 --> 03:44:18.400 Yeah, look at that money. 03:44:18.400 --> 03:44:20.080 It's a wall for game religion. 03:44:20.080 --> 03:44:21.880 So much cash being built up. 03:44:21.880 --> 03:44:23.000 So even if you win this round, 03:44:23.000 --> 03:44:24.520 if you do the hard part, 03:44:24.520 --> 03:44:25.640 you pick up around victory, 03:44:25.640 --> 03:44:26.520 you're still going to have to deal 03:44:26.520 --> 03:44:27.840 with a strong buy in the next round. 03:44:27.840 --> 03:44:30.200 So it's an uphill battle for legacy 03:44:30.200 --> 03:44:33.880 for the first quarter of this game. 03:44:33.880 --> 03:44:35.280 It's not like they have all the weapons 03:44:35.280 --> 03:44:35.960 to play with either. 03:44:35.960 --> 03:44:37.600 Right, look, they've got Tech 9s at the Eagle, 03:44:37.600 --> 03:44:40.520 P250, and that same AWP that's been 03:44:40.520 --> 03:44:43.400 unable to get into the game at all. 03:44:43.400 --> 03:44:46.400 All right, well, here we go. Shots in! Okay, both offers miss. 03:44:48.400 --> 03:44:50.400 Neither one wanting to follow that up with another peach. 03:44:55.400 --> 03:44:58.400 Nades around the corner over the half-hold they go, and they do land towards PR. 03:44:58.400 --> 03:45:03.400 They'll soften them up a little bit, making more susceptible to being dropped by these pistols. 03:45:03.400 --> 03:45:06.400 But PR, he's still carpeting. 03:45:06.400 --> 03:45:08.400 He's still balled as he goes in for the fight. 03:45:08.400 --> 03:45:11.400 Snacks take it a think off, going down to 9 HP. 03:45:11.400 --> 03:45:13.400 No kill, though, for Legacy. 03:45:15.400 --> 03:45:20.400 That should be it, I think. I mean, that was the powerful thrust. That was the initial play that Legacy wanted to make. 03:45:20.400 --> 03:45:25.400 Now that they don't get any success off of no kills, they haven't opened up any avenues by spreading the defense out. 03:45:25.400 --> 03:45:29.400 So, should be a relatively textbook clean finish for Gamer Legion. 03:45:29.400 --> 03:45:40.960 I mean they have three smokes left so you can get an execution of some time, but the 03:45:40.960 --> 03:45:45.840 lack of flashes should make this quite easy for game agent to hold on to, especially with 03:45:45.840 --> 03:45:47.680 a delaying smoke of their own coming in. 03:45:47.680 --> 03:45:49.600 You're going to have to go through that, I think. 03:45:49.600 --> 03:45:52.600 You just use your own utility. 03:45:52.600 --> 03:45:53.840 I think you just have to pop through. 03:45:53.840 --> 03:45:57.120 Going to go quietly step into the smoke, drop one on the front of the bomb site, and here 03:45:57.120 --> 03:45:58.120 we go. 03:45:58.120 --> 03:46:02.120 one smoke left on R to try and close the space down a little bit, but it's still 03:46:02.120 --> 03:46:05.120 going to be tough to get onto the site because Russell just spammed down and 03:46:05.120 --> 03:46:08.620 says that ballpoint sound comes out and then P.R. moves into the open, 03:46:08.620 --> 03:46:12.920 snacks as within, and once again Satsen trying to save the AWP. He does get a 03:46:12.920 --> 03:46:16.620 shot this time, and he'll drop all the way down banana, but Towson is there to 03:46:16.620 --> 03:46:20.720 try and prevent the save from happening. So Satsen readys himself, Towson 03:46:20.720 --> 03:46:25.480 waiting in middle, and Satsen showing a little bit too much, he does get past the 03:46:25.480 --> 03:46:26.480 angle. 03:46:26.480 --> 03:46:28.760 Well get away as well. 03:46:28.760 --> 03:46:31.160 Towson now is his chance and he doesn't want to repeat in anything. 03:46:31.160 --> 03:46:35.480 So the offense brought forward yet again and even though it's been here time after time 03:46:35.480 --> 03:46:38.040 round after round it hasn't found anything for legacy. 03:46:38.040 --> 03:46:41.560 He hasn't given them any chances. 03:46:41.560 --> 03:46:46.080 But at least he's still got it. 03:46:46.080 --> 03:46:47.560 AK-47's coming out. 03:46:47.560 --> 03:46:55.000 Dumau, Nissemin Lotto, Galil on art and utility but now lost five rounds in a row. 03:46:55.000 --> 03:47:02.000 And they need somebody, they need something like Dumau. Now also the issue is you're not getting that Dumau performance that you had on the first two maps. 03:47:02.000 --> 03:47:07.000 Even in a loss on Ancient, he was really really strong having good impact, finding you kills, laboring at the moment. 03:47:07.000 --> 03:47:13.000 They don't have that momentum you mentioned from that first map, right? You said that they were a momentum based team. They definitely had a mirage. 03:47:13.000 --> 03:47:20.000 They do not have it at all here on Inferno. Someone has to deliver it. And Dumau all the way towards top of that. 03:47:20.000 --> 03:47:22.000 He's got some space to play with already. 03:47:22.000 --> 03:47:31.000 Yeah, he's forced a lot of counter utility out, early Molotov to be dropping, Smokes as well coming in, so he's at least chewed up some of the utility at this B bomb site if they want to re-aggress it later. 03:47:34.000 --> 03:47:42.000 Last couple times they've come to this site, they've been stalled out and had to execute through Smoke or wait for Smoke to fade, forcing one out early like this might change that fact. 03:47:42.000 --> 03:47:54.000 Flash is out there ready to be thrown into this B bomb site. 03:47:54.000 --> 03:47:56.000 You got to deal with that PR, Snacks Convert. 03:47:56.000 --> 03:47:57.000 It's been so strong. 03:47:57.000 --> 03:48:00.000 It's just a molotov that Snacks can deploy to delay things. 03:48:00.000 --> 03:48:02.000 And while Flash goes up, will that be effective? 03:48:02.000 --> 03:48:05.000 Snacks not peeking out just yet. 03:48:05.000 --> 03:48:06.000 Hiding away. 03:48:06.000 --> 03:48:10.000 The second Oranges goes into the peek eventually, just the one. 03:48:10.000 --> 03:48:15.000 The rotation now arriving, Ryzen, Highpacks getting over to a CT spawn, but they're already in the site. 03:48:15.000 --> 03:48:17.000 Fall Planket to be coming through. 03:48:18.000 --> 03:48:23.000 A retake required of Gamer Legion with one piece of utility left, a single flashbang. 03:48:23.000 --> 03:48:26.000 Yeah, but because of the utility, Legacy could never get comfortable in their positions. 03:48:26.000 --> 03:48:30.000 Now, good kill from PR. That's the advance he's now picked up for Gamer Legion. 03:48:30.000 --> 03:48:35.000 Sanzin now looking down towards Highpacks, waiting for that overextension of the flash. Effective. 03:48:35.000 --> 03:48:38.000 Lotto takes the headshot and Ryzen, Gamer Legion has to get a move on, 03:48:38.000 --> 03:48:41.000 but they're losing members every time they step forward. 03:48:41.000 --> 03:48:45.000 And so it's really difficult to see how Legacy are going to let this one go. 03:48:45.000 --> 03:48:48.000 Lacto with a great headshot down towards CT spawn, 03:48:48.000 --> 03:48:50.000 and Hypex committed into church. 03:48:50.000 --> 03:48:52.000 There's no falling back from this one. 03:48:52.000 --> 03:48:56.000 Nissan's at the ready, and Legacy finally getting themselves another round victory. 03:48:56.000 --> 03:48:58.000 Much, much needed, and this one is just... 03:48:58.000 --> 03:49:01.000 I mean, they got in before Snaps could even drop the Molotov as well, 03:49:01.000 --> 03:49:03.000 starting to get way more aggressive at the B-bombs. 03:49:03.000 --> 03:49:06.000 Like, Dumas had a couple of those cheeky kills with the Tech 9, 03:49:06.000 --> 03:49:09.000 and then the AK-47 later on where he caught a few players off guard, 03:49:09.000 --> 03:49:11.300 I think he's feeling that that's a position he can flex. 03:49:11.300 --> 03:49:12.800 And even though he doesn't get kills, 03:49:12.800 --> 03:49:15.000 just supplying the pressure still has impact. 03:49:15.500 --> 03:49:17.500 But a lovely round from Lotto with the triple kill, 03:49:17.500 --> 03:49:20.300 he gets up to four frags total in the first eight rounds of play. 03:49:22.300 --> 03:49:25.000 And game religion, even though things have been going pretty good, 03:49:26.300 --> 03:49:27.800 five rounds straight, not even losing, 03:49:27.800 --> 03:49:30.100 only losing three players during that stretch. 03:49:31.100 --> 03:49:32.100 Plenty of money. 03:49:32.100 --> 03:49:40.500 Winning that last round for legacy at least keeps the dream of the competitive first half going right it felt like if they lost that 03:49:40.580 --> 03:49:44.460 It could have just been a super one-sided half coming in from game of leeching 03:49:44.460 --> 03:49:49.500 And we haven't seen that yet in this series both teams have been so comfortable and dominant on their own map picks that we haven't seen 03:49:49.500 --> 03:49:55.180 Any kind of back-and-forth affair we haven't had to see these teams kind of deal with the pressure of a map slipping away or a team coming back 03:49:56.940 --> 03:49:59.380 Or just a team keeping it close even 03:50:02.100 --> 03:50:08.100 Razz, 66 HP, all he's got left here. 03:50:08.100 --> 03:50:11.100 He's now trying to backtrack you, we're all in. 03:50:11.100 --> 03:50:13.100 Plans a shot, stretch with that smoke. 03:50:13.100 --> 03:50:14.100 So it's PR, come on. 03:50:14.100 --> 03:50:16.100 Now he's done well to get the opening, and then it's not for free. 03:50:16.100 --> 03:50:18.100 He does take damage from the utility. 03:50:18.100 --> 03:50:22.100 Yeah, but it's a sketchy play when you're trying to dodge Molotov's and HE grenades. 03:50:22.100 --> 03:50:23.100 They're going to hit him to get back. 03:50:23.100 --> 03:50:24.100 A little bit of aggression from Razz. 03:50:24.100 --> 03:50:26.100 He wants to swing Molotov out. 03:50:26.100 --> 03:50:29.100 Okay, defense in, getting harassed, and backing away behind the sandbags. 03:50:29.100 --> 03:50:36.220 sandbags aren't still here and Hypex has shifted over as well. The unexpected third player arrives. 03:50:37.580 --> 03:50:43.100 Oh, Art in the open. Dead at the hand of Hypex. Now Snacks goes. The Dumao ready even for that. 03:50:43.100 --> 03:50:47.180 Down to 30 HP. Finally someone dealing with Dumao, but the bomb's gone towards top mid. 03:50:47.180 --> 03:50:50.700 They have to go now. That's everyone except for Taliesin. They know all their locations. 03:50:50.700 --> 03:50:55.500 Might be missing the window of opportunity. They needed that kill. Hypex arrives. They turn it into 03:50:55.500 --> 03:50:57.900 2-1-2, but Lotto's still here. 03:50:57.900 --> 03:50:59.260 Yeah, so Rez, it is. 03:50:59.260 --> 03:51:00.820 Last through top mid. 03:51:00.820 --> 03:51:02.700 Satsen reads it. 03:51:02.700 --> 03:51:04.300 Ready for Rez. 03:51:04.300 --> 03:51:07.500 Stepping into the open, a quick shot. 03:51:07.500 --> 03:51:09.820 A slight gap through that boiler door, 03:51:09.820 --> 03:51:12.140 and Rez taken down. 03:51:12.140 --> 03:51:14.780 Legacy, still in this. 03:51:14.780 --> 03:51:16.540 Getting into Inferno finally. 03:51:16.540 --> 03:51:18.820 Yeah, this T-side building up to a nice place. 03:51:18.820 --> 03:51:21.020 I mean, they've got the jump task as well of grinding up 03:51:21.020 --> 03:51:24.220 an economy of game religion that just seemed insurmountable. 03:51:24.220 --> 03:51:28.220 But finally they forced them to buy everything. All the money they have to spend. 03:51:28.220 --> 03:51:31.220 Gamer Legion's gonna be at a breaking point. 03:51:33.220 --> 03:51:37.220 If Legacy can win this round, they might just leave this half with a lead. 03:51:43.220 --> 03:51:48.220 Oh, it seemed unthinkable that they'd be able to get themselves into this position. 03:51:48.220 --> 03:51:52.220 And Legacy arriving at just the right time in this first half. 03:51:54.220 --> 03:52:05.060 All that attention towards B for a number of rounds. Now, legacy switches things up. 03:52:05.060 --> 03:52:09.180 All five players are here. Four players in game, a legion in position as well. It's about 03:52:09.180 --> 03:52:16.140 to be a bloodbath over on this A site. Who's blood will spill first? 03:52:16.140 --> 03:52:21.340 Snacks waits in the cubby. Kronik goes in, dropping him down to 46 HP. Utility has made 03:52:21.340 --> 03:52:26.060 that Hypex cannot help him out. Snacks is gonna die here. Surely not gonna be able to do much at all 03:52:26.060 --> 03:52:31.420 because the grenades are coming for him. It takes a while, but they get rid of Snacks. Hypex avenges him. 03:52:33.820 --> 03:52:36.780 But he can't get a multi-kill because he's held back behind utility. 03:52:36.780 --> 03:52:41.420 This is awkward from Legacy. A very slow hit. Oh, they could find it. That was a great look for Dumau. 03:52:42.140 --> 03:52:45.900 And now Legacy wants to back away to the other side of the map, and they got a hustle before. 03:52:45.900 --> 03:52:47.340 Gamer Legion figured it out. 03:52:47.340 --> 03:52:52.340 It's a very quiet map from Towson, but that's a very important kill to keep the numbers ahead here for Gavieli, June. 03:52:52.340 --> 03:52:57.340 He got the rotation for PR, having to come back to this B site, but will he get there in time to do anything about this? 03:52:57.340 --> 03:52:59.340 There's one smoke on missing for the cross. 03:52:59.340 --> 03:53:06.340 Flash comes in, it's a desperate attempt to try and slow them down because he realizes he's out of position, now spamming just a little bit too early. 03:53:06.340 --> 03:53:11.340 So he's not going to be able to connect to anybody as they move away into the site, and the fire will make things uncomfortable. 03:53:11.340 --> 03:53:12.340 Oh my god. 03:53:12.340 --> 03:53:15.040 in the open, will PR step in for a goal. 03:53:15.040 --> 03:53:18.040 Just misses out on the chance, but now he needs to stay alive. 03:53:18.040 --> 03:53:20.740 He needs to play his life because his teammates are rotating over. 03:53:20.740 --> 03:53:24.940 Game of the Legion have the player advantage, but they've got no utility for this. 03:53:24.940 --> 03:53:27.940 One kick. 03:53:27.940 --> 03:53:30.240 Like you see, playing for the tied game. 03:53:30.240 --> 03:53:32.640 Satsang, always get a stat bar. 03:53:32.640 --> 03:53:36.540 Two towards CT, spot a third from Satsang. 03:53:36.540 --> 03:53:40.140 And he stands up because there's so many frustrating rounds for that orb. 03:53:40.140 --> 03:53:45.940 Couldn't get into the game, but if there's crucial points towards the end of the first half, it's sad same with a 3-chain. 03:53:45.940 --> 03:53:52.140 So patient, bringing that up forward and forward and always getting stalled out. What a good return on your investment. 03:53:54.640 --> 03:54:01.340 This game has changed entirely. Legacy now demolishes the economy, takes the money away from Gamer Legion. Why does they tie things up? 03:54:02.040 --> 03:54:03.940 Two rounds remaining in this first half. 03:54:06.740 --> 03:54:09.340 And Legacy have battled back three rounds in a row. 03:54:10.140 --> 03:54:16.140 They have the advantages now. Looking to leave this half with a lead on the scoreboard. 03:54:17.140 --> 03:54:23.140 So patient, the double-nade as well. Knowing Snaps was there, not panicking, not trying to swing, not being overly aggressive. 03:54:25.140 --> 03:54:28.140 And Sadson just punishes them on the retake. 03:54:29.140 --> 03:54:33.140 Yeah, 10-2, he really has started to commit to his own here on the third and final map. 03:54:33.140 --> 03:54:35.140 Great to see this from Sadson. 03:54:35.140 --> 03:54:36.440 That's it. 03:54:36.440 --> 03:54:39.600 For so many rounds, we just felt like he couldn't get involved. 03:54:39.600 --> 03:54:42.160 He bided his time, and that all does enter the feed. 03:54:42.160 --> 03:54:44.400 All right, stacked to the B bomb site for Gamer Legion 03:54:44.400 --> 03:54:45.600 around that bring only pistols. 03:54:45.600 --> 03:54:47.280 They're trying to scrape together everything 03:54:47.280 --> 03:54:49.080 they can for the final round of the half. 03:54:51.680 --> 03:54:53.440 Three in a row so far from legacy. 03:54:54.560 --> 03:54:56.120 It's been half of streaks. 03:54:58.120 --> 03:54:59.160 And you know, they did a good job. 03:54:59.160 --> 03:55:01.040 It's done a good job of hitting both bomb sites. 03:55:01.040 --> 03:55:02.960 So, I mean, it's not easy for Gamer Legion 03:55:02.960 --> 03:55:05.120 in a round like this to pick which site you want to stack. 03:55:05.120 --> 03:55:08.400 Maybe you think it would be great early on because you've had some of that deep 03:55:08.400 --> 03:55:14.680 pressure we've seen the aggression pick up as this half is worn on from Legacy. 03:55:15.040 --> 03:55:19.920 At the moment on the wrong side of the map. Yeah the Nades starting to come 03:55:19.920 --> 03:55:24.560 through as well. The only player here for Game of Legend is Towson with a P250. 03:55:24.560 --> 03:55:30.920 So the third time Legacy has run this kind of rap tactic around the A bomb site. 03:55:30.920 --> 03:55:34.280 But they're not gonna commit. They're actually gonna wrap through CT spawn. 03:55:34.280 --> 03:55:38.280 This is what game religion wants, right? They want you to try to come up with this B site. 03:55:38.280 --> 03:55:42.280 They just don't want you coming through CT spawn. The edge of the AK-47s in this wraparound 03:55:42.280 --> 03:55:44.280 is going to be really, really strong into the bomb site. 03:55:44.280 --> 03:55:48.280 At least you've got the numbers here. Will it be enough? Try to block them, slow them down. 03:55:48.280 --> 03:55:50.280 The stack is here on the B site. 03:55:50.280 --> 03:55:52.280 Can you bail out? Yeah, you can throw this off. 03:55:52.280 --> 03:55:57.280 You can send two Mal forward, but he gets taken down by Ruzz, and now you really have to go back to this A site. 03:55:57.280 --> 03:56:00.280 30 seconds left. What can Towson do? 03:56:00.280 --> 03:56:06.220 I mean one kill would be something special if you just pick up and find art for some reason smoke is gonna block his vision 03:56:06.300 --> 03:56:10.800 So he's buying his time staying patient and maybe they'll expect that all five were at the B bombs 03:56:10.800 --> 03:56:15.320 So this like is coming quick though. They need to handle this situation right now while they spotted Towson's head 03:56:15.320 --> 03:56:20.520 It wasn't down so the clock just gets rid of him without issue now saddening pit once he buried himself in here 03:56:20.520 --> 03:56:22.200 It's gonna be so tough to get him out of there 03:56:22.200 --> 03:56:26.560 You all got the ready the right falls in the site and there's just no way you're letting this way go 03:56:26.560 --> 03:56:30.720 Okay, Legacy, High Pass also falls short, and it's 6-5. 03:56:30.720 --> 03:56:33.920 It is Legacy in the lead of a game. 03:56:33.920 --> 03:56:35.920 Yeah, a few stumbling blocks there and that round, 03:56:35.920 --> 03:56:38.200 but Legacy works their way around all of them. 03:56:41.200 --> 03:56:46.200 And one chance for Legacy to extend this to 7-5. 03:56:46.240 --> 03:56:48.400 And Gamer Legion looking to tie things up. 03:56:49.640 --> 03:56:51.440 Looking to recover that staunch defense 03:56:51.440 --> 03:56:54.040 that had for five, they had for five rounds straight. 03:56:54.040 --> 03:56:59.200 Three men start at the B bomb site for gamer Legion. 03:56:59.200 --> 03:57:03.200 Hypeback's gonna peek down middle and nobody's swinging wide on his position. 03:57:03.200 --> 03:57:05.440 The clash is in Banana and it's Sanzin again. 03:57:05.440 --> 03:57:06.840 That great turn for Sanzin. 03:57:06.840 --> 03:57:08.640 Snacks dropped a core early on. 03:57:08.640 --> 03:57:13.720 Again, this all provided impact, a 13-2 half so far, and it could get even better for Sanzin. 03:57:13.720 --> 03:57:16.560 Oh, I think they're just gonna find the timing to go back to the A bomb site, hit an uppercut. 03:57:16.560 --> 03:57:18.240 Well, Towson's had a really tough half. 03:57:18.240 --> 03:57:20.040 Hasn't been able to deliver the usual impact. 03:57:20.040 --> 03:57:21.440 Here he is now, though. 03:57:21.440 --> 03:57:26.440 That's too much better from Towson on the line up. 03:57:26.440 --> 03:57:31.440 That's unfortunate because Legacy gave up Alder standing at the B-Bombside to come back to join up with that attack. 03:57:31.440 --> 03:57:38.440 It goes a little bit early and they have no chance of combining with it. 03:57:38.440 --> 03:57:44.440 Three players defending A. One inside of the site in high packs. 03:57:44.440 --> 03:57:49.440 Rise at library and in the pit, Towson stands. 03:57:49.440 --> 03:57:58.440 Legacy will put some utility in place, smoking out the library, flashed to force Rez back, giving some space for Legacy to play with at the 52nd mark in the round. 03:57:59.440 --> 03:58:02.440 A pursuit of 5 rounds in a row here, Legacy. 03:58:05.440 --> 03:58:11.440 Oh, they're gonna boost up, but Rez is wrapping around from spot. Oh, that's a good find. That's a really good find, but can Orc get away? He's got the bomb. 03:58:11.440 --> 03:58:14.860 Well, Ryze just nips out at the perfect time to make sure the trait comes in. 03:58:14.860 --> 03:58:18.900 Art in a tough spot if they can find Hypex, then it's back all over the bomb coast. 03:58:18.900 --> 03:58:22.200 And it's got to be Satsun 1v3, 25 seconds. 03:58:22.200 --> 03:58:26.340 Satsun dropping Hypex. Smoke up, has to get to the bomb. 03:58:26.340 --> 03:58:27.900 He can. He's recovered it. 03:58:27.900 --> 03:58:31.340 Satsun's had a stellar half, but this would be a superstar clutch. 03:58:31.340 --> 03:58:33.180 Satsun waiting in the site. 03:58:33.180 --> 03:58:37.300 Not going to go for it straight away. He fakes it, he pulls them into the open. 03:58:38.300 --> 03:58:39.740 No way, Satsun. 03:58:39.740 --> 03:58:40.740 Seven seconds. 03:58:43.500 --> 03:58:44.420 Comes for the commitment. 03:58:44.420 --> 03:58:45.700 Saps in, off it is! 03:58:45.700 --> 03:58:48.340 To the right, by P.O. Wands the head shot. 03:58:48.820 --> 03:58:52.020 An extra round, grabbed by Gamerley, can run at the end. 03:58:52.020 --> 03:58:54.060 A tie half here in Inferno. 03:58:54.060 --> 03:58:57.460 It's still up for Grapp, for both teams, heading to the Grand Final. 04:02:09.740 --> 04:02:27.660 Both these teams with surprising runs into the playoffs into the semi-finals here at 04:02:27.660 --> 04:02:31.780 the Intel Extreme Masters Atlanta and both of those runs could just fall by the wayside 04:02:31.780 --> 04:02:33.580 with a loss here. 04:02:33.580 --> 04:02:37.620 Impressive from both these teams popping off here at Atlanta but one final half of 04:02:37.620 --> 04:02:42.820 Counter strike one of these teams goes to the grand final one of these two teams goes home neither of them wants to be that guy 04:02:43.580 --> 04:02:50.420 So let's get it on inferno this last half to decide our first grand finalists and legacy has switched over to the defects 04:02:51.860 --> 04:02:55.820 Almost a decade ago snacks got into the grand final in Atlanta 04:02:56.620 --> 04:02:59.900 He's looking to do it again this time calling his way to it 04:03:00.300 --> 04:03:05.580 Game religion now on the T side and going quite quickly up through the middle all the way to the archway wrapping around long 04:03:05.580 --> 04:03:08.020 Long, Satsen detecting them early on. 04:03:08.020 --> 04:03:09.460 Can he connect any shots though? 04:03:09.460 --> 04:03:10.580 That's the different question. 04:03:10.580 --> 04:03:12.300 And he hasn't been able to do anything just yet 04:03:12.300 --> 04:03:13.220 until now. 04:03:13.220 --> 04:03:15.540 Headshot land, Dumau getting involved this wall. 04:03:15.540 --> 04:03:18.220 But eventually Gamer Legion will overwhelm the site 04:03:18.220 --> 04:03:19.620 and the bomb will be planted. 04:03:19.620 --> 04:03:21.060 They're really strong positions as well. 04:03:21.060 --> 04:03:22.340 Hypex has just got up in the halls, 04:03:22.340 --> 04:03:23.900 PR over in the pit at the broken wall, 04:03:23.900 --> 04:03:25.060 and snacks inside the bomb site. 04:03:25.060 --> 04:03:28.460 Really hard to clear up all three of these positions. 04:03:28.460 --> 04:03:30.540 But it's Dumau and Lato. 04:03:30.540 --> 04:03:32.660 It's the duo, the pairing on legacy, 04:03:32.660 --> 04:03:35.060 that they lean on to bring them through these moments. 04:03:37.420 --> 04:03:38.260 Stepping in. 04:03:39.860 --> 04:03:41.580 Chulparod is not finding their target yet. 04:03:41.580 --> 04:03:43.820 She has to look how close Dumau is getting to the pit. 04:03:43.820 --> 04:03:44.940 P.O.R. there's a surprise. 04:03:44.940 --> 04:03:46.260 Dumau's right in front of him. 04:03:46.260 --> 04:03:48.020 Now moving in, Lato's got the head shot, 04:03:48.020 --> 04:03:50.260 all of a sudden it's Hypex having to win it here 04:03:50.260 --> 04:03:52.740 for David Lee Chit that defuses happening. 04:03:52.740 --> 04:03:55.380 Hypex has got to get to it, it's not planted for it 04:03:55.380 --> 04:03:59.060 and the pistol's out, goes down and just about. 04:03:59.060 --> 04:04:03.060 Oh, it's done! They got it! They go off! 04:04:03.060 --> 04:04:06.060 And Hypex won't go down, so there we go. 04:04:06.060 --> 04:04:08.060 The ball blasts off. 04:04:08.060 --> 04:04:12.060 Arell picked up the pistol, won, and Game of Legion in the last second. 04:04:12.060 --> 04:04:15.060 That was so close through the hot swap. 04:04:15.060 --> 04:04:19.060 As he runs out of bullets with the Glock, what great finds from Dumal and Lotto. 04:04:19.060 --> 04:04:22.060 This running out of bullets, one left, swaps out to the USP 04:04:22.060 --> 04:04:25.060 and manages to find it right at the end. 04:04:25.060 --> 04:04:28.060 Yeah, just a relief on his face as he leaves back in that chair. 04:04:28.060 --> 04:04:31.840 being able to pick up that clutch last second because that suddenly became 04:04:31.840 --> 04:04:34.460 around that legacy had no shot at winning and then they were on the 04:04:34.460 --> 04:04:37.620 defuse of getting all the essential kills. He had that last second clutch 04:04:37.620 --> 04:04:40.460 yesterday as well in the quarterfinal he's just been clutching hell on these 04:04:40.460 --> 04:04:45.900 playoffs. Right out of the wire as well. Incredible stuff from highpacks again. 04:04:45.900 --> 04:04:49.140 Alright investment in the second round though for legacy so they're not done 04:04:49.140 --> 04:04:51.460 fighting they don't want to just relinquish the momentum and control 04:04:51.460 --> 04:04:59.700 early on. When I wrestle that back, I'm now trying to pop off his chest with 04:04:59.700 --> 04:05:03.340 retake mana utility. They're showing that smoke as if they want to play behind it, 04:05:03.340 --> 04:05:06.380 trying to keep them away from the B-POMP site as long as possible. Funnel them 04:05:06.380 --> 04:05:09.100 towards the stack. 04:05:09.100 --> 04:05:26.180 Yeah, frustrating for legacy to come so close to that. 04:05:26.180 --> 04:05:28.300 No one's shifting yet and no one making a move. 04:05:28.300 --> 04:05:32.700 Now they realize as Dumao goes down, the bomb set is compromised. 04:05:32.700 --> 04:05:34.700 Oh no, not a trade. 04:05:34.700 --> 04:05:35.700 What a spin from Rez. 04:05:35.700 --> 04:05:39.700 Lack of head armor undoing art and now we just walk into the B-Bomb site. 04:05:39.700 --> 04:05:46.700 Yeah, Lato trying to do something about it with a 5-7, but it's not going to be enough to do anything worth talking about. 04:05:47.700 --> 04:05:50.700 Spam back, damage done towards Lato. 04:05:50.700 --> 04:05:55.700 Yeah, and if you're legacy, you just save these pistols and armor, the MP9 on Sadzen, and you just call it. 04:05:55.700 --> 04:05:58.700 Look at Sadzen, he's 17 at 4 on this third and deciding map. 04:05:58.700 --> 04:06:03.700 Unfortunately for him, this is the map where Doomow has been a little bit more quiet, a little bit more contained. 04:06:03.700 --> 04:06:06.280 Nobody else in double digits for the Lucky's legacy side 04:06:12.500 --> 04:06:17.160 So they regain the lead legacy right at the end of the first half aren't able to extend it and 04:06:18.500 --> 04:06:21.640 Game religion grab it right back a couple rounds later in the pistol 04:06:29.140 --> 04:06:31.140 Eight to six 04:06:33.700 --> 04:06:43.300 I can't understand what they're looking for here, game allusion. 04:06:43.300 --> 04:06:48.940 I guess they're going to have some belief in themselves, obviously, with the way they 04:06:48.940 --> 04:06:50.740 were able to come back in that first half. 04:06:50.740 --> 04:06:53.380 It's like you had to give a second swipe with a hand as well. 04:06:53.380 --> 04:06:57.620 It's like you could stop at the edge of the mousepad. 04:06:57.620 --> 04:07:00.060 Here we go, round 15. 04:07:00.060 --> 04:07:04.060 Mp9 and Mk10 on the rest and 5-7 is coming out. 04:07:04.060 --> 04:07:08.060 So, you know, there's definitely a chance in this round for legacy to be disruptive, 04:07:08.060 --> 04:07:12.060 or game you're leeching, very likely they head up to 9-6. 04:07:12.060 --> 04:07:16.060 These are the kind of buys that get Art in some hot water on the outside, criticizing, you know, 04:07:16.060 --> 04:07:20.060 you can make the argument that buying here while the rest of your team has some money built up, 04:07:20.060 --> 04:07:24.060 you're going to be missing a weapon in the next round, and is it really worth it to spend the cash? 04:07:24.060 --> 04:07:28.060 What next round is the bigger priority? 04:07:28.060 --> 04:07:30.560 Let's see if we can do it on the main side. 04:07:30.560 --> 04:07:33.560 We go to the jump shot, Taliesin ready for that kind of play, 04:07:33.560 --> 04:07:35.560 so let us the head shot no issue against Art 04:07:35.560 --> 04:07:38.560 and they'll drop back here, like you see with the player deficit. 04:07:38.560 --> 04:07:40.560 Yeah, not worth it. 04:07:40.560 --> 04:07:42.560 We figured that one out quick. 04:07:44.060 --> 04:07:47.560 And still no slide to the B bomb site going to trust in the utility of Dumau 04:07:47.560 --> 04:07:49.560 to hold these guys back as long as possible. 04:07:51.560 --> 04:07:53.560 Now we're starting to see it on that final smoke. 04:07:53.560 --> 04:07:56.060 All the pressure behind it that Dumau senses 04:07:56.060 --> 04:07:59.060 Miss Amato and Sadsen are rotating over. 04:07:59.060 --> 04:08:01.020 Game Religion at the moment feels pretty committed, 04:08:01.020 --> 04:08:02.860 but there's 50 seconds on the clock. 04:08:02.860 --> 04:08:04.420 They don't have to move forward. 04:08:15.660 --> 04:08:16.980 And Game Religion will stick to this, 04:08:16.980 --> 04:08:18.220 so it's gonna be a clash. 04:08:18.220 --> 04:08:21.100 Four defenders, five attackers with advantage 04:08:21.100 --> 04:08:22.780 of weaponry and utility. 04:08:22.780 --> 04:08:23.620 Yeah. 04:08:23.620 --> 04:08:25.140 But surprises on the side of legacy. 04:08:25.140 --> 04:08:27.800 Exactly, a chance for legacy to win a round here. 04:08:28.800 --> 04:08:30.300 This could be a difficult round. 04:08:31.100 --> 04:08:34.100 Snacks going in with a Mactan, time's starting to become very limited. 04:08:34.100 --> 04:08:37.200 It's getting spammed out through CT and the site, even numbers. 04:08:37.200 --> 04:08:40.440 But in the end, Game of Legends finding the important frags. 04:08:40.440 --> 04:08:44.100 10 seconds left and the cover of the fountain will make sure that ballpoint comes in. 04:08:44.300 --> 04:08:47.000 Lato now steps into an impossible 1v3. 04:08:48.000 --> 04:08:50.240 They know where he is, just behind the coffin. 04:08:50.240 --> 04:08:52.400 So it's PR to attack him with a headshot. 04:08:52.400 --> 04:08:55.080 And another round collected here, four game in a lead, 04:08:55.080 --> 04:08:57.520 two nine to six into the lead. 04:08:57.520 --> 04:08:59.880 We'll see legacy start to bring together that by. 04:08:59.880 --> 04:09:01.960 So, Sadson's going to get you all up out. 04:09:01.960 --> 04:09:04.160 The damage to arts economy, you can see that. 04:09:04.160 --> 04:09:05.760 He's going to have to play with an MP9, 04:09:05.760 --> 04:09:08.480 but the rest of the players will get the rifles they're looking for, 04:09:08.480 --> 04:09:10.360 and plenty of utility here for legacy. 04:09:10.360 --> 04:09:13.360 I'm glad that we see legacy kind of forcing and prioritizing 04:09:13.360 --> 04:09:15.640 Sadson getting that all thought because, I mean, let's be real, 04:09:15.640 --> 04:09:16.480 you lose this one. 04:09:16.480 --> 04:09:17.960 You don't really have a whole lot of opportunities 04:09:17.960 --> 04:09:19.720 to get back into the map. 04:09:19.720 --> 04:09:21.520 So, very important gun round for legacy. 04:09:21.520 --> 04:09:27.020 Sazen's AWP is going to be at the A bomb site, joined up by Nissemin Art and Defense, Jumao and Lato to defend the B bomb site. 04:09:32.520 --> 04:09:35.520 Alright, so Gamelidge is going to get a couple of players into the bedroom. 04:09:37.020 --> 04:09:38.520 Bro, he's hopping up there with PR. 04:09:41.520 --> 04:09:46.020 And Jumao wasting no time being aggressive on the CT side. Sazen misses the timing because get away! 04:09:46.020 --> 04:09:51.020 They're a great flashbang to get Satsun off the angle, giving some space on over here for Gamelige. 04:09:51.020 --> 04:09:55.020 It was a one for one as Nism does walk to get at least one pick, but look at this. 04:09:55.020 --> 04:10:00.020 High-packs, filter it through the backlights, or if not ready, uncomfortable, it goes down. 04:10:00.020 --> 04:10:04.020 You need Satsun and Grinch shot! Fantastic flick up on the balcony. 04:10:04.020 --> 04:10:05.020 How much could you ask of him though? 04:10:05.020 --> 04:10:07.020 You have to ask everything, and you just can't deliver that. 04:10:07.020 --> 04:10:12.020 So Tau-Sun with a follow-up headshot, Gamelige in again with the advantage, and this time they're in the A-bomb site. 04:10:12.020 --> 04:10:16.460 Yeah, it's I mean you see the op and the op is the problem but instead of attacking it directly 04:10:16.460 --> 04:10:21.780 A gamer legion is able to find the kills of all of his supporting elements all of the teammates that are meant to keep him safe 04:10:21.780 --> 04:10:26.180 And keep some space between him and the rifles they go down and there's nothing for him to do a 04:10:27.020 --> 04:10:29.020 10th round for gamer legion 04:10:30.180 --> 04:10:32.180 Marching towards those grand finals 04:10:34.980 --> 04:10:39.620 Yeah, I'm not counting legacy out just yet just for the way that they were able to flip it in that first half 04:10:39.620 --> 04:10:42.620 I look like they were down and out through the starting of that game 04:10:42.620 --> 04:10:47.540 We had five rounds in a row picked up from game religion in that first half and then let you seek all the strength of the road 04:10:47.780 --> 04:10:52.500 To become competitive again. We're gonna have to try to dig deep and find that resolve once more 04:10:53.740 --> 04:10:57.780 And I mean the issue is you just don't have you're in a position where you won't have the resources 04:10:57.780 --> 04:11:01.060 You'd want to get this started these two M4s are nice to have I 04:11:03.780 --> 04:11:07.700 Think we'll see a time out of the legacy to talk over the money because that's probably the biggest issue 04:11:07.700 --> 04:11:11.740 That's probably the biggest obstacle they have if they want to keep fighting back first time out called by legacy 04:11:11.740 --> 04:11:15.720 So plenty to burn if they can make this comeback happen if they can get it started 04:11:16.820 --> 04:11:20.900 But you're right on the edge and if you can force a buy out here with some dropped weapons over and 04:11:22.380 --> 04:11:24.740 Legacy is just gonna go for it six to ten 04:11:27.020 --> 04:11:31.620 They will not have the AWP but they've got four M4s in the MP9 on art 04:11:37.700 --> 04:11:42.980 If you're Gamer Legion, you're loving this at the moment because you've got your whole 04:11:42.980 --> 04:11:49.460 team firing all cylinders, res delivering for you, Towson as well, Hypex and PR, Snacks 04:11:49.460 --> 04:11:54.060 as the caller has done a phenomenal job in this second half. 04:11:54.060 --> 04:11:58.020 Yet to lose a round, four straight to open it up. 04:11:58.020 --> 04:12:01.700 So Gamer Legion is here and three rounds away from the Grand Finals. 04:12:01.700 --> 04:12:06.720 Yeah, we know they're strikes on the T side of Inferno, and there's some great set pieces 04:12:06.720 --> 04:12:11.760 here as well. It's going to be so tough for Legacy, but see if they can find it in them. 04:12:11.760 --> 04:12:19.520 Good damage here towards Highpacks. 25 HP left on the AWP. And the round has just started. 04:12:19.520 --> 04:12:27.680 I'm going to tell us a new banana. I don't see anything else. Not seeing any further 04:12:27.680 --> 04:12:32.920 utility or any challenges coming in from Legacy, which is quite often the style that we see 04:12:32.920 --> 04:12:36.600 from them once they get going on the CT side, right? We'll see if you now get aggressive. We'll see 04:12:36.600 --> 04:12:40.280 them really challenged, but they don't really have that luxury at the moment to play their usual 04:12:40.280 --> 04:12:44.040 style. You also have the weight of the moment on your shoulders, and no one wants to be that guy 04:12:44.040 --> 04:12:48.680 who makes a silly play through smoke to die when you're down by four on the verge of being eliminated 04:12:48.680 --> 04:12:52.280 from the semifinals. Obviously in this round specifically, they've got one player on the 04:12:52.280 --> 04:12:56.760 B-ball, so that's Dumal alone, which is freeing up the four remaining defenders to play in towards 04:12:56.760 --> 04:13:01.400 the A-bombs side, hoping Gamerlutian come to A, and that's exactly what's happening right now. 04:13:01.400 --> 04:13:03.400 You've got this crossfire. 04:13:03.400 --> 04:13:07.400 Sands in with two teammates on the opposite side, but it doesn't matter. 04:13:07.400 --> 04:13:11.400 Game religion coming through, charges through middle, and they've got the three first kills. 04:13:11.400 --> 04:13:13.400 This impact, deliver anything. 04:13:13.400 --> 04:13:16.400 And the stack of the A-bomb site is gone. 04:13:16.400 --> 04:13:22.400 Game religion in, 11 rounds to six, and surely a huge step closer to that grand final. 04:13:22.400 --> 04:13:24.400 And you had everything there. 04:13:24.400 --> 04:13:28.400 That's the exact fight you wanted, the exact rounds you wanted, if you're legacy. 04:13:28.400 --> 04:13:32.320 And that's got to be a terrible feeling, a sinking feeling in your gut. 04:13:32.320 --> 04:13:36.960 That even when you have everything you want, you still can't win a round. 04:13:36.960 --> 04:13:41.040 And Towson eliminates two Mal to take everything away. 04:13:41.040 --> 04:13:43.680 Oh, there's no money as well here for legacy. 04:13:43.680 --> 04:13:47.280 They don't have the resources to compete against game religion right now. 04:13:47.280 --> 04:13:50.560 I think they're going to buy. I think they're going to go for it once again. 04:13:50.560 --> 04:13:54.240 They have two more timeouts if they want to use them, just perfectly played. 04:13:54.240 --> 04:14:00.940 Satsun spotted out by Res Molotov to force him into the open, make it a clean shot, and there's no way Nissan's recovering gap. 04:14:00.940 --> 04:14:04.940 Well they have invested not everything, they've left somebody over but not a great amount. 04:14:04.940 --> 04:14:11.440 They've got the AWP after Satsun, a Max 7 for our MP9, 5-7, and one single M4 here for Legacy. 04:14:11.440 --> 04:14:15.040 It's been a great event from them, but this might be the end of it. 04:14:15.040 --> 04:14:18.040 Game of Legion in search of series points. 04:14:24.240 --> 04:14:30.240 Nismans adds an aggressive in a holes on the defense just peering down deep 04:14:30.240 --> 04:14:34.240 Nism can have a fast like all the attention at the moment towards banana 04:14:34.240 --> 04:14:42.240 double made on the position of snacks so an advantage found and with a bit more 04:14:42.240 --> 04:14:45.240 presence deep down banana from legacy game religion might be forced to 04:14:45.240 --> 04:14:47.240 address to the A-bomb site. 04:14:59.640 --> 04:15:04.440 Taking the time moving through top mid. This time a lot less resistance than in the previous round for game 04:15:04.440 --> 04:15:09.640 Malaysian to deal with. They've got Lado now stepping out of the archway taking damage down to 19 04:15:10.280 --> 04:15:12.280 and he'll fall away behind smoke cover. 04:15:12.280 --> 04:15:16.660 The aggression for R jumping around the corner you need to train and do mouse got it 04:15:17.180 --> 04:15:21.880 Okay, well here's Lotto waiting for this play through smoke PR is gonna give it to him easy kill with the 5-7 04:15:21.880 --> 04:15:23.360 Yeah, they've been whittled down 04:15:23.360 --> 04:15:27.800 Real miss shot from sadson, but he recovers the situation now. It's right 04:15:28.640 --> 04:15:30.640 Miss shots going past him 04:15:30.680 --> 04:15:32.680 As the grenade on in 04:15:32.760 --> 04:15:35.600 Well, we've been talking a lot about rice haven't we about how 04:15:35.600 --> 04:15:41.600 Oh, this would be a big moment for him to prove it, to take that step to series point. 04:15:41.600 --> 04:15:43.600 Rez looking for the clutch. 04:15:44.600 --> 04:15:47.600 They're coming at him, but Rez, that first head shot, so good. 04:15:47.600 --> 04:15:52.600 It's now just two now, and Rez back in America, playing the best counter strike he can, 04:15:52.600 --> 04:15:57.600 and Rez has taken game religion to a map point in the semifinals. 04:15:57.600 --> 04:16:02.600 That is the kind of clutch that makes you believe that it's over. 04:16:02.600 --> 04:16:10.600 Best start to the year Rez has had in his long long career and still delivering now that we're in the playoffs. 04:16:10.600 --> 04:16:17.600 So comfortable looking for the confidence he is just jumping into the fight not slowing down whatsoever. 04:16:17.600 --> 04:16:25.600 Once he gets back please that shot out long and he has all the time to compose himself for that final kill against Dumau. 04:16:25.600 --> 04:16:29.600 There's never a doubt Rez is going to go off to win that one. 04:16:32.600 --> 04:16:36.940 It's all gone wrong for legacy here in this second half 04:16:38.840 --> 04:16:41.660 Their defense has not been able to stop anything 04:16:44.860 --> 04:16:49.860 They shall move back to the first map in this series where gamer Legion just picked them apart piece by piece 04:16:50.900 --> 04:16:51.820 and 04:16:51.820 --> 04:16:53.820 One final desperate switch 04:16:54.900 --> 04:16:58.940 Legacy's defense the double-up setup coming out art with one sadson with the other 04:16:58.940 --> 04:17:03.940 trying desperately to find that spark to reignite him. 04:17:03.940 --> 04:17:06.940 He needs to be perfect just to force overtime. 04:17:06.940 --> 04:17:08.940 Satsang, dead first. 04:17:08.940 --> 04:17:13.940 Snacks with the opening kill. 04:17:13.940 --> 04:17:17.940 One step towards victory. 04:17:17.940 --> 04:17:21.940 One step towards the grand final. 04:17:21.940 --> 04:17:25.940 Two-mile dead in smoke. 04:17:25.940 --> 04:17:32.940 Against Legacy, it is the Legacy players of Gamer Legion finding the impact to open up this final round. 04:17:32.940 --> 04:17:37.940 Res and Snacks into a 5v3. 04:17:41.940 --> 04:17:44.940 And they've got all the time in the world. 04:17:46.940 --> 04:17:51.940 Legacy is going to have to get aggressive at some point to figure out what's going on in the map. 04:17:51.940 --> 04:17:54.060 Nissen doing everything he can to find something. 04:17:56.820 --> 04:17:58.500 Art just lies in wait. 04:17:59.420 --> 04:18:01.500 He goes into the open, he's going aggressive, 04:18:01.500 --> 04:18:03.700 living and dying by the sword. 04:18:03.700 --> 04:18:06.660 Art going for the aggressive play that he hopes can pull it back. 04:18:06.660 --> 04:18:08.340 But it won't, he'll make it alive. 04:18:08.340 --> 04:18:11.700 A-Telson have delivered and it's just Nissen left. 04:18:12.500 --> 04:18:15.860 Snacks on low HP, just about getting away from that grenade, 04:18:15.860 --> 04:18:16.980 but it doesn't matter. 04:18:17.620 --> 04:18:20.020 Game of League, Jinko through the formalities. 04:18:20.020 --> 04:18:29.380 But they know, they know they're in the Grand Finals of the Intox-Tree Masters Atlanta. 04:18:29.380 --> 04:18:33.220 Almost a decade on from Snacks playing in the major final in Atlanta. 04:18:33.220 --> 04:18:36.500 He will be there again. 04:18:36.500 --> 04:18:41.500 first Grand Final of this quality as tiered Grand Final all year long. 04:18:41.500 --> 04:18:44.500 Everything is worked out, bringing snacks back. 04:18:44.500 --> 04:18:50.500 Hypex has stepped up for this team and they look scary in it in the Grand Finals. 04:18:50.500 --> 04:18:53.500 It's been a great run in the USA. 04:18:53.500 --> 04:18:56.500 First in Texas, that's where they first surprised us out in Fort Worth. 04:18:56.500 --> 04:18:58.500 They've kept that momentum up. 04:18:58.500 --> 04:19:01.500 They came in with a positive attitude, new confidence found for their offer. 04:19:01.500 --> 04:19:05.500 A spot they couldn't fill for a long time, but Hypex has been clutched. 04:19:05.500 --> 04:19:10.200 He's won them so many important rounds in the playoffs so far, and now they go all the way 04:19:10.200 --> 04:19:13.800 It looks even more confident than they did yesterday in the quarterfinals 04:19:13.800 --> 04:19:15.800 That team is building up into a new strength 04:19:15.800 --> 04:19:17.200 Harg's on the legacy side 04:19:17.200 --> 04:19:20.200 You can see it doesn't look like they're too broken down 2-4 Morn 04:19:20.200 --> 04:19:21.700 A tough loss to take 04:19:21.700 --> 04:19:27.700 Stylistically speaking, but it seems like they're going to be content and happy with the progress and the danger that they've shown here 04:19:27.700 --> 04:19:32.200 And now it's about finding ways to activate that more and more as the major looms around the corner 04:19:32.200 --> 04:19:35.760 I think coming into 2026 we started to forget about game religion 04:19:35.760 --> 04:19:40.080 We were positive about them last year and 2025 especially at the start of the year 04:19:40.080 --> 04:19:42.360 But they fizzled out with results dropping off 04:19:42.400 --> 04:19:48.920 But they've come to the US and they've come to Atlanta and they have reminded us why we should get excited about the future of these 04:19:48.920 --> 04:19:54.080 Young players there's so much rightful in talent and now they've got an experienced in game leader 04:19:54.280 --> 04:20:00.640 Who is leading them all the way to a grand final of an ST event and how much experience he's got he's gonna be so good 04:20:00.640 --> 04:20:01.720 It's so strong, DiMala. 04:20:01.720 --> 04:20:02.720 I take my words back. 04:20:02.720 --> 04:20:03.640 A little bit broken up. 04:20:03.640 --> 04:20:06.160 The nature of that loss had a very quiet third map 04:20:06.160 --> 04:20:08.560 after the first two, so dominant. 04:20:08.560 --> 04:20:10.720 Another chance that he slips out of his fingers 04:20:10.720 --> 04:20:11.680 to lift the trophy. 04:20:15.040 --> 04:20:17.040 For Game of Leisure at Grand Final, 04:20:17.040 --> 04:20:19.480 we'll see who their opponent will be in a little bit later on. 04:20:19.480 --> 04:20:21.120 But for now, it's time to celebrate. 04:20:21.120 --> 04:20:25.040 They're down on the stage after the win. 04:20:25.040 --> 04:20:27.480 Back and forth across ancient mirage, 04:20:27.480 --> 04:20:28.760 non-starter for Game of Leisure. 04:20:28.760 --> 04:20:29.560 We can't lie. 04:20:29.560 --> 04:20:30.920 That wasn't there. 04:20:30.920 --> 04:20:33.800 Stressful map 3 of Inferno, no doubt. 04:20:33.800 --> 04:20:35.840 Let's talk about that second pistol. 04:20:35.840 --> 04:20:37.560 How stressful? 04:20:37.560 --> 04:20:38.720 Very fucking stressful, bro. 04:20:38.720 --> 04:20:39.640 Are you crazy, man? 04:20:39.640 --> 04:20:41.080 Come on. 04:20:41.080 --> 04:20:42.360 Yeah, I am a little crazy. 04:20:42.360 --> 04:20:43.480 Sazen's on a tear. 04:20:43.480 --> 04:20:44.520 How did you guys respond? 04:20:44.520 --> 04:20:46.360 You obviously had to come together to make this work, 04:20:46.360 --> 04:20:48.400 so talk to me about how it went in the server. 04:20:48.400 --> 04:20:49.880 Yeah, I was a bit worried, like, when 04:20:49.880 --> 04:20:52.440 we hit the T side of Federal, because normally our CT side 04:20:52.440 --> 04:20:56.080 is stronger, but we managed to close it pretty perfectly. 04:20:56.080 --> 04:20:59.120 This, I think, is fair to say is a gamer-legion crowd today. 04:20:59.120 --> 04:21:01.840 Would you agree I will fucking agree I love you Atlanta 04:21:06.680 --> 04:21:08.680 You've got snacks you've got res 04:21:08.960 --> 04:21:13.640 You've got the game religion that's quote-unquote firing on all cylinders as people like to say 04:21:14.080 --> 04:21:18.760 Is there anything you want to say before we get you out of here? I just love you guys you amazing 04:21:22.360 --> 04:21:27.200 Thank you very much. Oh, yeah one last thing bedroom or not. I don't care 04:21:29.120 --> 04:21:33.260 All right, fair enough. Hey, let me go ahead and let me get you to sign right here, but 04:21:43.720 --> 04:21:46.320 Game religion with their eyes on the prizes 04:21:46.320 --> 04:21:52.280 They are the first team to be locked and loaded into the grand finals and they will help that on getting there as quickly as possible 04:21:52.400 --> 04:21:54.420 On that two-side of inferno 04:21:54.420 --> 04:21:59.520 We do indeed have one of the heroes of one of the last rounds. It's Reds joining us here up on the desk 04:22:00.160 --> 04:22:02.660 Congratulations, tell me what's going through your head right now. Thank you. I 04:22:03.500 --> 04:22:08.240 Can't remember last time I was in a grand final. I guess it's a great feeling also happy 04:22:09.380 --> 04:22:13.180 Yeah, you had a I mean you have really big impact players on your team 04:22:13.180 --> 04:22:16.540 You know you have a PR that can lock down bombsites tiles it as well 04:22:16.700 --> 04:22:22.100 Hipex has been the best player until maybe this game actually struggled to get off the ground 04:22:22.100 --> 04:22:29.780 Do you think that there's like a responsibility from you and snacks to step in those moments because you frequently do when they have their struggles? 04:22:29.780 --> 04:22:34.620 Hmm, I didn't feel that animal struggle to balance this game or this event at all 04:22:34.620 --> 04:22:37.940 I can feel like everyone has been stepping up and in every match we play 04:22:37.940 --> 04:22:42.340 I feel like everyone has their moments like maybe Milan has some rough game 04:22:42.340 --> 04:22:46.580 But I still feel like he had a lot of impact in the rounds like you can as long as you contribute in 04:22:46.740 --> 04:22:49.540 Like in the team playing all this it's that's matters, right? 04:22:49.540 --> 04:22:51.040 I think he really did that. 04:22:51.040 --> 04:22:55.540 I think for Gamer Legion last year, when you guys made playoffs or had some good runs, 04:22:55.540 --> 04:22:58.040 things would maybe fall apart a little bit. 04:22:58.040 --> 04:22:59.540 There were some mistakes. 04:22:59.540 --> 04:23:02.540 It felt like you guys were losing games more than the teams were beating you. 04:23:02.540 --> 04:23:04.040 It looks a lot different now. 04:23:04.040 --> 04:23:06.040 You look way better in the mid-round. 04:23:06.040 --> 04:23:09.040 You look more composed, better organized. 04:23:09.040 --> 04:23:16.040 What is it that's changed this year with the addition of snacks that's causing this? 04:23:16.040 --> 04:23:19.640 Honestly, I think it's the experience that we've got so far. 04:23:19.640 --> 04:23:23.840 I think going this deep into tournaments has given all of us more experience, 04:23:23.840 --> 04:23:27.640 like Hypex and PR, like they're getting more time on stage in all this, 04:23:27.640 --> 04:23:31.840 and I think it's really important when we go up against good tier 1 teams, 04:23:31.840 --> 04:23:37.640 and I think everyone is starting to be able to control their emotions more now, 04:23:37.640 --> 04:23:41.440 and I think it shows in the game that we're more disciplined than before, 04:23:41.440 --> 04:23:43.640 like when we're starting to choke a lot on stages, 04:23:43.640 --> 04:23:48.640 I feel like we have a composure now and we understand what we need to do in crucial moments. 04:23:48.640 --> 04:23:53.640 But yeah, of course, I think Snack's a big factor to all this. 04:23:53.640 --> 04:23:59.640 He brings a lot of calmness and experience, of course, and he helps us keep in check at all moments. 04:23:59.640 --> 04:24:02.640 Just as you know, can you talk to me about the season as a whole? 04:24:02.640 --> 04:24:06.640 Because you guys, I mean, start of the year are playing frag Miami. 04:24:06.640 --> 04:24:12.640 There's a lot of smaller LAN events we're attending and you're not always beating the teams that feel like 04:24:12.640 --> 04:24:18.620 like they should be beneath you in the rankings. Was there a fear making it to the tier one 04:24:18.620 --> 04:24:23.080 events again or making it to Cologne for you guys because of the travel schedule you had 04:24:23.080 --> 04:24:24.080 to go through? 04:24:24.080 --> 04:24:28.520 Yeah, honestly, we are exhausted. We need a long break after this and then we have the 04:24:28.520 --> 04:24:33.080 major of course. But yeah, like when Snags joined us, we won like Park and Wright. That's 04:24:33.080 --> 04:24:38.800 the reason we got and that gave us a lot of confidence of course. And yeah, I mean, I 04:24:38.800 --> 04:24:43.800 I think in recent games, we only lose to Na'Vi and Vitality and those guys, right? 04:24:43.800 --> 04:24:48.800 And obviously that boom back in rivals as well, like those are the teams that we are struggling against, 04:24:48.800 --> 04:24:52.800 and I think it's fair to say that, I mean, we're not really there yet to beat those teams, 04:24:52.800 --> 04:24:57.800 like we're still lacking a lot of experience, and like the overall identity of game religion, 04:24:57.800 --> 04:25:00.800 like full gameplay, like team structure and all. 04:25:00.800 --> 04:25:05.800 So I think going to like the Vitality level and Na'Vi level, it's going to take time, of course. 04:25:05.800 --> 04:25:10.200 more time together and like that's why this is so important for us because it's going to help us a lot to 04:25:10.920 --> 04:25:15.240 get to that goal faster I think. We're not going to talk about Mirage but on the maps that you did 04:25:15.240 --> 04:25:21.080 end up winning right you had really good t-sides and it seemed like you were just very well prepared 04:25:21.080 --> 04:25:27.640 for the aggression and the moves that legacy likes to do on the ct side was that the case from your 04:25:27.640 --> 04:25:34.200 period? On Mirage? No on ancient and infernal. I mean that's the main topic maybe it was in the 04:25:34.200 --> 04:25:37.660 prep against them like these are the guys that they're gonna push the smokes when 04:25:37.660 --> 04:25:40.560 you least expect it they're gonna just swing you or like be behind you and 04:25:40.560 --> 04:25:46.160 never like anytime on the map but we were expecting that and I think that's 04:25:46.160 --> 04:25:49.620 why we lost Mirage as well I think we struggled really hard to like get 04:25:49.620 --> 04:25:53.200 control of the map and like figuring out what they are and where they are because 04:25:53.200 --> 04:25:57.520 I feel like that is a map where they can really like take advantage of this 04:25:57.520 --> 04:26:01.680 place but yeah going into your farm I think it was much easier like if I think 04:26:01.680 --> 04:26:06.880 I think it's an easier map to like shut down this place and like it's very much, yeah. 04:26:06.880 --> 04:26:08.280 That's why I think we've gone so easy, boss. 04:26:08.280 --> 04:26:10.280 I mean you were making things look incredibly easy. 04:26:10.280 --> 04:26:13.080 I think we should dive into your clutch at the tail end of the inferno. 04:26:13.080 --> 04:26:15.880 We'll get up on the screen and you can kind of walk us through this because this was a, 04:26:15.880 --> 04:26:17.980 this is just sublime from you. 04:26:17.980 --> 04:26:20.080 How are you making these, how are you making these reads? 04:26:20.080 --> 04:26:21.880 I mean, I didn't hear them too long. 04:26:21.880 --> 04:26:23.380 That was my team is calling it out. 04:26:23.380 --> 04:26:28.180 I used to make some career, like I wanted to create some chaos with my smoke so they can have to figure out where I am. 04:26:28.180 --> 04:26:30.180 So I can isolate that one-on-one duo. 04:26:30.180 --> 04:26:34.180 And the last clutch, like I know this position is really hard for CTs to like... 04:26:34.180 --> 04:26:38.180 PQ on, because you have the headshot angle, you have left side swing, right side swing, 04:26:38.180 --> 04:26:42.180 and they have to just like walk up and PQ, and it's really, really hard for CTs. 04:26:42.180 --> 04:26:47.180 So I just did a full surprise middle, used a bit of wide swing, and I think it's kind of a free kill from there. 04:26:47.180 --> 04:26:50.180 It worked beautifully. Final question from my side. 04:26:50.180 --> 04:26:53.180 Towson said he doesn't care if it's Nabi or Betvin, Samore. 04:26:53.180 --> 04:26:55.180 Do you have a preference if you'd like to face? 04:26:55.180 --> 04:27:00.820 You said both these teams have beat you recently anybody you want to get revenge on I want to go on channeling the most 04:27:00.820 --> 04:27:05.140 I think we've been we've been close to beating them and I think this is time we can do it 04:27:05.660 --> 04:27:10.300 Lovely stuff for us. Congratulations. We'll let you get anywhere and get the preparations underway for that grand final tomorrow 04:27:10.300 --> 04:27:13.380 Thank you. Congratulations once again. You can maybe head to on the desk 04:27:13.380 --> 04:27:19.180 Anywhere beautiful stuff coming out from game allegiance amending themselves in that grand final as Rick said 04:27:19.460 --> 04:27:22.620 In a while since we've seen them in a grand final as well 04:27:22.620 --> 04:27:27.380 Well, I'm so excited no matter which opponent they're going to be facing because they've been putting up some stellar counter strike 04:27:27.380 --> 04:27:31.300 I mean you just talked about it right working on those two sides making sure it's more cohesive 04:27:31.300 --> 04:27:33.940 And we so saw that at the tail end of it for no 04:27:33.940 --> 04:27:39.000 Yeah, like we said the eye test is there for gamer legion right and it's not gimmicky. It's not cheesy 04:27:39.000 --> 04:27:42.860 It's not all we have all these like fast rounds and if we do that it's great 04:27:42.860 --> 04:27:50.940 And we have this one-dimensional style like they were great at the more slow measured approach on T side too 04:27:50.940 --> 04:27:57.920 I mean they really controlled T side on both the ancient and inferno especially 04:27:57.920 --> 04:28:01.640 like punishing as we're pointed out some of those moves that Legacy likes to do 04:28:01.640 --> 04:28:05.400 being able to close out rounds and you can tell that the players are just a 04:28:05.400 --> 04:28:08.400 bit more confident at the state of the tournament. 04:28:08.400 --> 04:28:11.360 Yeah there's a tactical versatility to them you know there was a time where they 04:28:11.360 --> 04:28:14.720 were just seen as the anti-strat team. When you looked at the the previous 04:28:14.720 --> 04:28:18.800 version with Ash it felt like there was a lot of restrictions on the squad to 04:28:18.800 --> 04:28:23.600 some of those individual plays and right now I feel like those players are flourishing under that a 04:28:23.600 --> 04:28:28.800 little bit of extra freedom. They're not, they're still on a leash I think in a few of those moments 04:28:28.800 --> 04:28:33.280 you know but snacks is trying to play a kind of a hybridized style between what we see sometimes 04:28:33.280 --> 04:28:37.200 from legacy for example but then also what we used to see from old game religion. And I guess that's 04:28:37.200 --> 04:28:40.080 where you put the shoe on the other foot if you're looking at legacy and going okay game 04:28:40.080 --> 04:28:45.120 lesion come up with an amazing game plan to count your CT side and you don't really have any more 04:28:45.120 --> 04:28:48.720 answers to give to you, right? That's what you were a little bit worried about coming 04:28:48.720 --> 04:28:52.960 on to this when you're not exactly playing your best map, you don't have tons of things 04:28:52.960 --> 04:28:58.080 to be working with, kind of showed the legacy. Yeah, the moment still lacking some depth, 04:28:58.080 --> 04:29:03.600 right? Obviously Mirage was great and then they were able to dominate, but on Inferno, 04:29:03.600 --> 04:29:10.160 on Ancient, in some of these moments, you're relying a bit too much on individual plays, 04:29:10.160 --> 04:29:15.040 right? And you're guys stepping up and delivering hero moments or clutches, right? You just 04:29:15.040 --> 04:29:21.160 need to have some more layers to your game, right? Like put your players in more advantageous 04:29:21.160 --> 04:29:27.800 positions where they don't need to always sort of claw for these rounds and also just 04:29:27.800 --> 04:29:31.320 try to develop a little bit more on the CT side, like figure out how to play when you're 04:29:31.320 --> 04:29:36.080 not mega aggressive or mega gambling with some set ups, right? Because you could tell 04:29:36.080 --> 04:29:39.120 how easy it was for game religion to deal with them in this series. 04:29:39.120 --> 04:29:43.600 And you had Art as such an engine from the group stage to the start of the series really, 04:29:43.600 --> 04:29:47.260 for him to actually peter out towards this inferno. 04:29:47.260 --> 04:29:48.880 It showed that there were limitations 04:29:48.880 --> 04:29:51.780 in the amount of options that they could pull together. 04:29:51.780 --> 04:29:53.860 They couldn't find clean opening advantages. 04:29:53.860 --> 04:29:56.220 They were walking or running through smokes actually 04:29:56.220 --> 04:29:58.260 and just getting chewed up when they went for attacks. 04:29:58.260 --> 04:30:00.500 So yeah, no, there's definitely room to grow 04:30:00.500 --> 04:30:02.460 for this legacy, but I also think 04:30:02.460 --> 04:30:05.180 if they got a home crowd advantage, 04:30:05.180 --> 04:30:06.980 this is the type of squad that do feel like 04:30:06.980 --> 04:30:08.660 they would ride with that energy. 04:30:08.660 --> 04:30:09.780 You know, when they're in the group stage, 04:30:09.780 --> 04:30:13.420 they hear Doomow screaming his lungs out every single round. 04:30:13.420 --> 04:30:18.860 You don't get to hear that quite as much, it doesn't have the same effect when there's an audience also cheering against you. 04:30:18.860 --> 04:30:23.420 Well, speaking of the individuals, it is indeed time to check in with our DHL MVP. 04:30:24.300 --> 04:30:27.180 Who will be the DHL MVP? 04:30:27.180 --> 04:30:28.700 You decide. 04:30:28.700 --> 04:30:32.460 You can participate in the DHL MVP vote as it happens. 04:30:33.980 --> 04:30:37.660 Make sure to be tuned into the Twitch stream and be ready to have your say. 04:30:37.660 --> 04:30:46.660 Yes, indeed, it is time to be having your say over in the Twitch chat, because you get 04:30:46.660 --> 04:30:51.900 to decide who potentially may be taking home the DHL MVP at the end of the tournament. 04:30:51.900 --> 04:30:55.900 From this particular series though, Taosan definitely a name on the radio anchor. 04:30:55.900 --> 04:31:01.940 Oh, for sure. He had a lot of moments at different times. It felt like a true team effort from 04:31:01.940 --> 04:31:08.180 game allusion on this one right this one v3 on the first map absolutely monumental right to deny 04:31:08.820 --> 04:31:14.260 that the early advantage for the side of legacy has been really rock solid for game allusion 04:31:15.300 --> 04:31:22.260 over the course of the last year or so yeah i mean it's a pretty well i guess recorded sentiment 04:31:22.260 --> 04:31:26.580 as well that a lot of people would have rated the move initially but he's flourished under the 04:31:26.580 --> 04:31:31.700 sort of versatility that he offers up shuts down bomb sites and also clutches out rounds 04:31:31.700 --> 04:31:37.140 the man that we just had up on the desk, Rez, is your second option for your DHL MVP vote. 04:31:37.140 --> 04:31:41.540 I think, after seeing that beautiful clutch coming up, he might just have my vote, Yumi. 04:31:41.540 --> 04:31:43.060 He loves America, clearly. 04:31:43.060 --> 04:31:44.100 He does. 04:31:44.100 --> 04:31:50.420 Whether or not we're referencing the legendary Oakland or not, he seems to really ride the momentum. 04:31:50.420 --> 04:31:55.860 And he even, I mean, he very plainly breaks down the way he wins a clutch like this, but 04:31:55.860 --> 04:32:00.100 he comes up with some of the most important rounds for game evolution when it comes to these 04:32:00.100 --> 04:32:05.300 later and later playoff games. Yeah, and especially on a map like Inferno, he's had a lot of impact 04:32:05.300 --> 04:32:10.340 for them yesterday, today as well, and one of the main reasons why Game Religion is doing better, 04:32:10.340 --> 04:32:17.140 like you guys pointed out, they have an offer, can play, right? Like they haven't had that for years 04:32:17.140 --> 04:32:23.380 at this point, and Hypex did some work on the rifle as well, and had a quiet series, honestly, 04:32:23.380 --> 04:32:28.420 up until Inferno, but picked a great time to step back up and deliver a good game. Oh yeah, 04:32:28.420 --> 04:32:32.900 Yeah, I mean the clutch on the pistol round as well in the second half was really no bird 04:32:33.700 --> 04:32:36.500 He did get there in the end. So I mean it's good for him 04:32:36.500 --> 04:32:39.940 I mean he's been coming up with so many clutches for this team just throughout this entire tournament 04:32:40.020 --> 04:32:44.980 Hey in the one time the Emile Luton had a good start. It was the final half of the series 04:32:46.020 --> 04:32:50.420 They waited they waited and then they bounced and then they literally won every single round after that 04:32:50.420 --> 04:32:53.940 So all they got to do is just win the pistol and convert Yanko. That is the key 04:32:53.940 --> 04:32:57.380 So they're moving forwards, though. Obviously, Ryze was saying about it. 04:32:57.380 --> 04:33:00.500 Navi, Betbun, a lot of history between both of these teams. 04:33:00.500 --> 04:33:04.660 I mean, I think it's fair to say that they've probably done a bit more of a chance versus Betbun. 04:33:04.660 --> 04:33:08.900 That might be a bit more of an even affair, but I'd be really excited to see them tested, 04:33:08.900 --> 04:33:12.580 even just in terms of the map versus Navi as well. That would be a really interesting one. 04:33:12.580 --> 04:33:16.900 Yeah, and also, Ryze was talking about getting experience on stage and playing against tier 04:33:16.900 --> 04:33:22.340 one teams. Grand Final is sort of the next level, right? Like, when it comes to that, 04:33:22.340 --> 04:33:28.500 it's a different sort of playground and obviously Nabi is a team that has a 04:33:28.500 --> 04:33:32.540 lot more experience than them at that stage but it will be a great test and 04:33:32.540 --> 04:33:35.380 they would be an absolute underdog no pressure on them which is a great 04:33:35.380 --> 04:33:39.380 position to be in and whether they've been or lose I think it will definitely 04:33:39.380 --> 04:33:43.060 it will be a great learning experience for the future. I just want to see if they 04:33:43.060 --> 04:33:47.220 can play spoiler to Nabi that our favorites pegged to win this 04:33:47.220 --> 04:33:50.420 tournament. If they can beat Vitality, if they can beat one of the demons in the 04:33:50.420 --> 04:33:56.580 closet, lifting a trophy where that is such a massive flex with that vitality was in attendance. 04:33:56.580 --> 04:34:01.860 If there is any disruption in the storyline, I mean, the game of Legion 13.1 on Ancient, 04:34:01.860 --> 04:34:06.860 if they can get anything close to that, I mean, that's definitely a level up that they're 04:34:06.860 --> 04:34:07.860 looking for. 04:34:07.860 --> 04:34:10.560 So that would be quite something on this very stage, while with game of Legion being the 04:34:10.560 --> 04:34:14.420 likes of Legacy, that does mean the end of the road for the Brazilians here in Atlanta. 04:34:14.420 --> 04:34:17.580 So let's get a few closing thoughts courtesy of Dumau. 04:34:17.580 --> 04:34:24.140 Tumal here with me after the loss. Obviously I love doing interviews with you, but not 04:34:24.140 --> 04:34:28.700 after a loss like this. Can you share a little bit what happened on the server today? 04:34:28.700 --> 04:34:35.740 Today I think we have to work more on ancients. It's bad when you have a bad start like this. 04:34:35.740 --> 04:34:42.700 I think in an arena it takes a bit of your momentum. But after we just lost, guys, never 04:34:42.700 --> 04:34:47.340 mind, we've got the experience now, we can just go and have fun. We did a good map but I think 04:34:47.900 --> 04:34:52.380 when it comes to iron it's always the tales, it's always about a queue and a trading and going 04:34:52.380 --> 04:34:57.740 forward some bad decisions can affect all the team and I think we just have to work on that and 04:34:58.300 --> 04:35:05.020 economy, it's not the economy you know, in those moments the economy makes you worse but yeah 04:35:05.020 --> 04:35:10.220 I think that's it but it's not that complicated for us I think. It seems like from the vibe I'm 04:35:10.220 --> 04:35:15.140 I'm getting is that you're not putting too much, you know, like thoughts on the loss 04:35:15.140 --> 04:35:18.500 because obviously you're not out of the tournament, you're out of the contention for the trophy 04:35:18.500 --> 04:35:23.580 but you still have a third place decider tomorrow, so does this change the mentality within the team 04:35:23.580 --> 04:35:27.820 that you have to not actually think about the loss but refocus for the next game, which is tomorrow? 04:35:27.820 --> 04:35:31.820 Yes, I think that's the most important because we have more tournaments, we have a game tomorrow, 04:35:31.820 --> 04:35:38.220 even losing and it's a great opportunity to play for the people and get experience for major 04:35:38.220 --> 04:35:43.620 and maybe CEC now, and I think we just have to keep improving and not head down because 04:35:43.620 --> 04:35:48.340 of the loss, because it's a true one, it's not that hard, you know. 04:35:48.340 --> 04:35:52.940 And I mean, size M-real, when I talk to you, it's very better now, it's all there. 04:35:52.940 --> 04:35:57.660 I actually remember when we spoke after your I-M-real exit, you told me that you have so 04:35:57.660 --> 04:36:00.260 much more potential and you don't know how to unlock it. 04:36:00.260 --> 04:36:05.020 Is this the event where this was legacy much closer to the A-game that you know from the 04:36:05.020 --> 04:36:06.020 practice, for example? 04:36:06.020 --> 04:36:08.660 Yeah, but I think there is more room yet for a game. 04:36:08.660 --> 04:36:10.180 I don't think we are rich. 04:36:10.180 --> 04:36:12.740 We read sometimes, then we go down to see a game, 04:36:12.740 --> 04:36:14.100 and we're not reaching to the game. 04:36:14.100 --> 04:36:17.060 I think because of the emotions, sometimes we go too aggressive, 04:36:17.060 --> 04:36:18.980 and we lose focus and momentum, 04:36:18.980 --> 04:36:22.740 but I think since we had the conversations after losing our winning, 04:36:22.740 --> 04:36:27.220 we can receive this information and do better after, you know? 04:36:27.220 --> 04:36:29.220 So I think that it's just about time. 04:36:29.220 --> 04:36:30.580 There's nothing to do. 04:36:30.580 --> 04:36:33.620 Thank you for all the answers and save that A game for tomorrow, okay? 04:36:33.620 --> 04:36:34.260 Thank you. 04:36:34.260 --> 04:36:34.900 Thank you. 04:36:34.900 --> 04:36:35.540 Thank you. 04:36:35.540 --> 04:36:41.060 Yeah, lots of insight coming out from Gmail. I would echo that sentiment of a definite improvement post 04:36:41.060 --> 04:36:47.140 IEM Rio, but perhaps not the A game of legacy reach just yet. Yeah, that's always the key for some of these lower tier teams, right? 04:36:47.140 --> 04:36:51.380 Like finding the consistency, like how can you raise your floor, right? 04:36:51.380 --> 04:36:57.300 So you're more consistent and then hopefully pop off here and there, right? To have some of these deep rounds. 04:36:57.300 --> 04:37:01.700 And sometimes all it takes is one tournament where a player has a good pop off, you know? 04:37:01.700 --> 04:37:09.400 It's not too long ago Nyssen looked like the worst player on this team and then started to grow into his own sort of clutch player in some respects 04:37:09.400 --> 04:37:12.300 You know, he has individual rounds and when they won CACs 04:37:12.300 --> 04:37:18.420 He was the MVP by far and just how much impact he provided, but it does take a bit of a ramping up 04:37:18.420 --> 04:37:20.740 It's clear that confidence in the massive thing for these guys 04:37:20.740 --> 04:37:23.060 And it's good to see that at least in that interview 04:37:23.060 --> 04:37:26.060 Dumail seems to be taking it in stride and noting that improvement 04:37:26.060 --> 04:37:30.700 And so it's not a deterrent as such and the third place decided it will call a lot of weight 04:37:30.700 --> 04:37:37.700 For these teams, obviously the points are still hugely important, getting another win under their belt, 04:37:37.700 --> 04:37:43.700 whether that's going to be a bad one or hopefully not a Na'Vi, because that would be a tougher not to crack, 04:37:43.700 --> 04:37:51.700 but you have to be able to just refocus, because unlike other teams who would be super disappointed by not being in the final, 04:37:51.700 --> 04:37:54.700 for them it's still an important game that they need to try and win. 04:37:54.700 --> 04:37:55.700 to try and win. 04:37:55.700 --> 04:37:58.780 And I'm glad that he's saying that they want to get as much on stage experience as possible 04:37:58.780 --> 04:38:02.420 because obviously that third, fourth, 30th side of tomorrow, you mentioned CAC as another 04:38:02.420 --> 04:38:05.780 iteration of that coming up, then they begin at stage two of the major. 04:38:05.780 --> 04:38:08.780 If they make it to stage two, there'll be more stage experience there. 04:38:08.780 --> 04:38:12.380 So they've got a lot coming up considering the major starts in a couple of weeks. 04:38:12.380 --> 04:38:14.940 I hope they're not going to meet you fatigue coming into it. 04:38:14.940 --> 04:38:20.700 Yeah, but there's a debate around this at the moment because what is legacy ceiling 04:38:20.700 --> 04:38:21.700 of the major? 04:38:21.700 --> 04:38:22.700 Right? 04:38:22.700 --> 04:38:27.700 Realistically say stage 3 like anything about that would be a huge surprise. There's a chance they don't make it into stage 04:38:27.700 --> 04:38:34.700 Street so long term for legacy as a team like CAC is important like to go to and to have a deep run like they can accrue a 04:38:34.700 --> 04:38:39.260 Lot of points there as well. So they're now in the invite bubble for next season, right? 04:38:39.260 --> 04:38:43.980 There's this tournament that will see which teams decide to attend in China is doing the player great, right? 04:38:43.980 --> 04:38:47.420 But that that's also like something that can determine. So yeah, we'll 04:38:47.420 --> 04:38:52.420 So would it be better if they could just rest and then have a long bootcamp and go into 04:38:52.420 --> 04:38:53.420 the major? 04:38:53.420 --> 04:38:54.420 Sure. 04:38:54.420 --> 04:38:57.420 But even with that, what would their result be? 04:38:57.420 --> 04:38:58.420 Exactly. 04:38:58.420 --> 04:38:59.420 What do they actually need? 04:38:59.420 --> 04:39:03.020 They're probably benefiting more from going to CAC, playing that as well, hopefully having 04:39:03.020 --> 04:39:04.020 a good run. 04:39:04.020 --> 04:39:05.900 And then at the major, you know, who knows? 04:39:05.900 --> 04:39:06.900 I was just taking a look at the bracket. 04:39:06.900 --> 04:39:09.300 They've got NRG, as their first opponent at CAC. 04:39:09.300 --> 04:39:10.300 That's doable. 04:39:10.300 --> 04:39:12.940 Then probably Maus and that's Tyloo make a crazy upset. 04:39:12.940 --> 04:39:16.060 It does seem like liable for them to make a dent in that tournament. 04:39:16.060 --> 04:39:21.260 I will say just in general, the stage one teams do feel like quite a few of them are 04:39:21.260 --> 04:39:24.980 actually ramping up towards that major in a way that I probably wouldn't have expected. 04:39:24.980 --> 04:39:29.020 You know, there are some teams that probably sit on the bottom end of that table that you 04:39:29.020 --> 04:39:33.260 just think, you know, maybe a month ago, there's a good way that they could have just been 04:39:33.260 --> 04:39:37.300 winning tier three lands and that's about all that we could really talk about, but we 04:39:37.300 --> 04:39:42.060 are seeing a bit of development across the circuit, whether that's either here or, uh, 04:39:42.060 --> 04:39:47.060 that they can be. Failed by so 04:39:47.060 --> 04:39:49.060 many of these teams beneath 04:39:49.060 --> 04:39:50.060 them as well. So yeah, there 04:39:50.060 --> 04:39:51.060 there's it's going to be 04:39:51.060 --> 04:39:52.060 stressful on their calendar, 04:39:52.060 --> 04:39:53.060 but they're not the only ones 04:39:53.060 --> 04:39:54.060 it's quite a few teams that are 04:39:54.060 --> 04:39:55.060 also trying to just get extra 04:39:55.060 --> 04:39:56.060 reps in out of the main on the 04:39:56.060 --> 04:39:58.060 other side game. Allegiant. They 04:39:58.060 --> 04:39:59.060 won't be falling to the likes 04:39:59.060 --> 04:40:01.060 of legacy and will indeed be 04:40:01.060 --> 04:40:02.060 locking in a spot in that 04:40:02.060 --> 04:40:03.060 best of five Grand Final, but 04:40:03.060 --> 04:40:05.060 I think it's time we find them 04:40:05.060 --> 04:40:07.060 and opponents coming up next. 04:40:07.060 --> 04:40:08.060 It's going to be Navi taken on 04:40:08.060 --> 04:40:10.060 coming up next it's going to be 04:40:10.060 --> 04:40:14.060 Navi taking on Betboom. A lot of history between a couple of the players on each 04:40:14.060 --> 04:40:17.060 respects in roster. It's going to be going down after this. 04:40:32.060 --> 04:40:34.060 Hey Flamos, can I catch you for a word? 04:40:34.060 --> 04:40:40.500 What's up, man? You are in the first big playoffs like this, but it's special for you because 04:40:40.500 --> 04:40:44.100 this is the first time with the audience, actually, right? It happens as a standing, 04:40:44.100 --> 04:40:45.460 kind of crazy timeline for you. 04:40:45.460 --> 04:40:49.820 Yes, I mean, completely agree. I'm happy that this is happening, that I got a chance to 04:40:49.820 --> 04:40:54.900 play in front of the crowd, and I hope the game is going to be amazing. 04:40:54.900 --> 04:40:57.620 This is a little bit special tournament for you because you're trying to show yourself. 04:40:57.620 --> 04:41:02.220 You mentioned this. This is your big test before the transfer window, which you're hopefully 04:41:02.220 --> 04:41:04.220 they couldn't get to some different team. 04:41:04.220 --> 04:41:08.620 So there's this line between team play and individual play. 04:41:08.620 --> 04:41:10.940 Are you happy with where you're currently standing 04:41:10.940 --> 04:41:12.220 with the current form? 04:41:13.540 --> 04:41:17.060 I mean, you always can be better, but yeah, 04:41:17.060 --> 04:41:19.300 I wouldn't say I'm sad about my form. 04:41:19.300 --> 04:41:22.700 I was playing not the best CS on this tournament 04:41:22.700 --> 04:41:26.140 in terms of team play and my individual form, 04:41:26.140 --> 04:41:28.020 so all good, yeah. 04:41:28.020 --> 04:41:30.300 Any preference if it will be the next endeavor? 04:41:30.300 --> 04:41:33.380 English speaking team, Russian speaking team, any preference? 04:41:33.380 --> 04:41:37.060 I have no idea to be honest, I don't care, I just wanted to be a good team. 04:41:37.060 --> 04:41:39.100 That makes complete sense, I'm just poking fun at you. 04:41:39.100 --> 04:41:44.300 I have one last question, which is when you were watching the game between Vitality and Navi yesterday, 04:41:44.300 --> 04:41:46.580 what was going on in your head when you were watching it? 04:41:46.580 --> 04:41:51.980 Everyone was talking about it, did you secretly cheer for one team that you maybe want to play against someone? 04:41:51.980 --> 04:41:55.220 I didn't care at all, and I still do not. 04:41:55.220 --> 04:41:57.220 This is perfect mindset actually. 04:41:57.220 --> 04:42:01.700 I mean, it doesn't matter who you want to play, it's just our work to play the game. 04:42:01.700 --> 04:42:07.780 If we play good, we can win both teams, if we play bad, we can lose to both teams, so it doesn't matter, to be honest. 04:42:07.780 --> 04:42:16.500 And, I mean, maybe it's just better in a way that it's just like more interesting to play, not against Vitality again, 04:42:16.500 --> 04:42:24.060 it's just we play against Vitality, now we'll play against Na'Vi, it's just like more experience, more fun to play, yep. 04:42:24.060 --> 04:42:27.060 I'm really feeling the energy coming out of here. 04:42:27.060 --> 04:42:30.060 We're excited to play this semi-final and I wish you good luck. 04:43:24.060 --> 04:43:26.380 Deco, let's do what happens! 04:43:26.380 --> 04:43:27.460 Got a mixer! 04:43:28.260 --> 04:43:29.780 We are back! 04:43:36.740 --> 04:43:38.340 Come on, come on! 04:43:43.020 --> 04:43:45.940 Look, Alex, I've reviewed your department financials. 04:43:46.300 --> 04:43:47.340 It's a disaster. 04:43:47.340 --> 04:43:50.060 I'm sending someone to conduct an in-person audit. 04:43:50.340 --> 04:43:51.580 Dora-ha-ha-ha! 04:43:51.580 --> 04:43:52.660 Meltdown! 04:43:52.660 --> 04:43:56.660 Alex!

So even if it's like I feel like you should always want to play like the max hurts or doesn't feel as good 04:45:10.700 --> 04:45:14.060 Okay, I don't know like the details, but I'm pretty sure that's what it is 04:45:15.020 --> 04:45:17.020 For black equalizer I do 12 04:45:17.260 --> 04:45:24.300 Color vibrance I do 8 because also everything is so colorful these days. Little blue light to 10. This is for eye health 04:45:24.780 --> 04:45:26.220 Just feels nicer 04:45:26.220 --> 04:45:32.940 Brightness I do like 65. Yeah, sometimes I mess with these aided settings just because like this is how you can like change the 04:45:32.940 --> 04:45:34.940 Yeah, because sometimes you actually 04:45:36.220 --> 04:45:41.420 There's like a bug in CS where they'll like the stretching is like off 04:45:41.780 --> 04:45:45.360 So you have to like change this and this can sometimes like fix it 04:45:45.980 --> 04:45:50.740 Where you like underclock it? Okay, but you shouldn't actually do that if you're not having that issue 04:45:50.740 --> 04:45:56.100 It's just like a specific issue. I like you have to you have to fix. What about dyakin stuff? 04:45:56.100 --> 04:46:00.900 I guess it's just whatever the default is on here. So it is on. I don't know if it's pre 04:46:00.900 --> 04:46:02.380 Yeah, so I have it on premium. 04:46:02.380 --> 04:46:02.880 Okay. 04:46:02.880 --> 04:46:04.940 I think that this feels good to me. 04:46:04.940 --> 04:46:05.440 Yeah. 04:46:05.440 --> 04:46:09.380 I never kind of mess with these because I think the FPS settings are perfect as they are. 04:46:09.380 --> 04:46:10.380 Oh, okay. 04:46:10.380 --> 04:46:12.380 So yeah, that's pretty much it for the review. 04:46:12.380 --> 04:46:13.380 Cool. 04:46:13.380 --> 04:46:19.180 Yeah, so I actually changed a lot. 04:46:19.180 --> 04:46:23.340 So always restore defaults just so you have everything normal. 04:46:23.340 --> 04:46:26.240 And then I always put the slider to performance. 04:46:26.240 --> 04:46:28.220 And I've actually learned about some new settings here. 04:46:28.220 --> 04:46:30.220 I have locked in. 04:46:30.220 --> 04:46:33.200 For ambient inclusion, you can do performance. 04:46:33.200 --> 04:46:34.760 So you probably should try to find all these things 04:46:34.760 --> 04:46:36.320 that you can do performance on. 04:46:36.320 --> 04:46:38.560 And sometimes I even forget exactly which they are. 04:46:38.560 --> 04:46:39.840 Yeah, so this one is in it. 04:46:39.840 --> 04:46:41.760 For this CUDA thing, I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be 04:46:41.760 --> 04:46:44.640 preferred no system fallback, and someone way smarter 04:46:44.640 --> 04:46:46.440 than me told me about what this does. 04:46:46.440 --> 04:46:50.080 So I just fall, I'm just like, okay, sounds good to me. 04:46:51.360 --> 04:46:52.800 Yeah, so you don't change that. 04:46:52.800 --> 04:46:54.560 OpenGL, so this is another thing you can put 04:46:54.560 --> 04:46:56.600 preferred performance on. 04:46:56.600 --> 04:46:58.480 And then for this, I mean, it's gonna be just 04:46:58.480 --> 04:47:00.720 graphics card, doesn't really matter. 04:47:00.720 --> 04:47:03.000 Power management mode, prefer max performance. 04:47:04.560 --> 04:47:05.720 This also doesn't matter, 04:47:05.720 --> 04:47:07.600 but I just like to put it there anyway. 04:47:07.600 --> 04:47:09.800 Sheer to cache size, you do unlimited. 04:47:09.800 --> 04:47:12.240 And again, a way smarter guy told me to do this. 04:47:12.240 --> 04:47:13.080 So that's what I'm doing. 04:47:13.080 --> 04:47:14.200 Okay. 04:47:14.200 --> 04:47:16.560 High performance, again here for this texture filter 04:47:16.560 --> 04:47:19.960 in quality, and I believe, yeah, that is it. 04:47:19.960 --> 04:47:23.480 I think they're, no, none of these other ones matter. 04:47:23.480 --> 04:47:26.120 So, and then here, I mean, actually on LAN, 04:47:26.120 --> 04:47:32.600 I'll put my actual resolution on the desktop, but at home I don't it looks a bit nicer when you leave it native 04:47:32.600 --> 04:47:37.740 Yeah, it does and I hear digital vibrance. I usually do around 65 to 70 04:47:38.520 --> 04:47:44.160 Because I mean, I don't really like when it's super super vibrance and then perform scaling on GPU 04:47:44.960 --> 04:47:46.960 And that is it. Okay, nice 04:47:49.520 --> 04:47:53.180 One thing you would change now in CS 2 one thing 04:47:53.180 --> 04:47:58.900 Mechanical or any you can change you can remove Mindo from Mirage 04:48:02.540 --> 04:48:04.900 I would remove or pass okay 04:48:06.060 --> 04:48:08.060 Like forever.

Do you feel the same way? 04:52:05.020 --> 04:52:12.020 I mean, always like every game that we play versus LAM it always make us stronger because always like we have a lot of points 04:52:12.020 --> 04:52:18.020 and we just cannot close versus LAM. I don't know how and we are happy that we closed this LAM. 04:52:18.020 --> 04:52:22.020 But this can be a trap as well, right? Maybe Ula, your performance coach gave you some words about this. 04:52:22.020 --> 04:52:27.780 about this being overconfident. Can you share a little bit what was thought in the team discussion? 04:52:27.780 --> 04:52:34.740 No, I'm not the hell, I mean I'm confident always. For myself I don't see that I'm sometimes over, 04:52:34.740 --> 04:52:40.260 but of course like people can see others because we cannot think everybody's same, 04:52:40.980 --> 04:52:48.740 but I mean we have two players and we beat them. I mean I'm not playing the best CS because of 04:52:48.740 --> 04:52:55.300 I would say but still no excuses. We are here to play and let's show what we are capable of. 04:52:55.300 --> 04:52:57.300 I'm gonna step right back since you said you're sick. 04:52:58.100 --> 04:53:03.220 It's fine. Last question is that maybe that legacy loss was actually a destiny, right? 04:53:03.220 --> 04:53:06.740 So you can meet Vitality in the quarter-finals and beat them in the best of three. 04:53:06.740 --> 04:53:12.100 Do you feel like this could be the way where you could finally lift the trophy like this? 04:53:12.100 --> 04:53:14.580 No, I think also in the final we had a good chance. 04:53:14.580 --> 04:53:15.060 Yes. 04:53:15.060 --> 04:53:24.060 Yes, because last time we were doing 11-0 nook, 11-1 after it was some bad situation from E and T side nook. 04:53:24.060 --> 04:53:29.060 They make comeback after on second map on Abyss, 11-8 winning, they make comeback. 04:53:29.060 --> 04:53:32.060 It's just, I don't know, it's just vitality things, I think. 04:53:32.060 --> 04:53:35.060 To other teams I don't think it can happen. 04:53:35.060 --> 04:53:38.060 Was it even possible to fall asleep with all the adrenaline after that game? 04:53:38.060 --> 04:53:43.060 I can tell as a player that it is impossible, so tell me, with the jet lag as well? 04:53:43.060 --> 04:53:49.060 Bro, to be honest it was hard to sleep but the most hard thing it was like after nook to go outside from PC. 04:53:49.060 --> 04:53:57.060 When I went outside I was like just smoking 3-4 cigars like no stuff you know like I was so fucking mad you cannot imagine. 04:53:57.060 --> 04:54:01.060 I can feel the energy coming out of you as well so good luck in this semifinal. 04:54:13.060 --> 04:54:16.340 The stands are getting packed out for our second semi-final. 04:54:16.340 --> 04:54:18.980 It's going to be Betboom taking on the likes of Navi, 04:54:18.980 --> 04:54:22.180 and it's going to be myself for her spears, YNK, and of course, Pymf, 04:54:22.180 --> 04:54:24.620 joining us for this second match of the day. 04:54:24.620 --> 04:54:28.620 And it's two teams that know what it takes to beat the world number one for Navi. 04:54:28.620 --> 04:54:32.820 It happened just yesterday as Mikaze was alluding to time and time again. 04:54:32.820 --> 04:54:36.540 They fall into the world's best, but yesterday was the exception to that rule. 04:54:36.540 --> 04:54:40.460 And Betboom on the other side of Team Shaker, managed to do it in the group stage, 04:54:40.460 --> 04:54:43.860 which set them up for what was a miraculous run his top four. 04:54:43.860 --> 04:54:46.300 Yeah, they've been easily to me the biggest surprise so far 04:54:46.300 --> 04:54:49.500 of the tournament, the fact that they find themselves directly into the semifinal. 04:54:49.500 --> 04:54:53.260 I don't think anyone had that on the bingo card for Betboom, not even themself. 04:54:53.260 --> 04:54:55.780 I would suspect they believed that would be possible, 04:54:55.780 --> 04:54:58.540 especially considering you're playing with a bit of a stand-in with Flemers coming in. 04:54:58.540 --> 04:55:02.060 But what we've seen so far for Betboom in this tournament has been very promising. 04:55:02.060 --> 04:55:06.020 They played good counter-strike, Flemers seems to be slotting in quite well within the team. 04:55:06.020 --> 04:55:08.580 So in terms of them showing into the semifinal 04:55:08.580 --> 04:55:12.580 and having hopes of remaining competitive against Na'Vi, I think that's more than realistic. 04:55:12.580 --> 04:55:15.580 Yeah, one of the most shocking, if not the most shocking result of the year. 04:55:15.580 --> 04:55:18.580 I mean, the bad boon being able to take down Vitality, 04:55:18.580 --> 04:55:21.580 ultimately, I think mostly it was because of the maps, right? 04:55:21.580 --> 04:55:23.580 The wins came on Anubis and Nuke. 04:55:23.580 --> 04:55:27.580 Anubis, something that Na'Vi was able to beat Vitality on 04:55:27.580 --> 04:55:30.580 and Nuke had heard it from the horse's mouth, you know, the struggles recently, 04:55:30.580 --> 04:55:34.580 especially on the T side, that's what we already had in the bad boon game too. 04:55:34.580 --> 04:55:38.700 game too so props to them for being able to get it done right one the seeding 04:55:38.700 --> 04:55:42.940 game against Kane as well and now they're in the semis going up against Navi 04:55:42.940 --> 04:55:47.100 and you know I love about the spet boom arc at the moment is the potential 04:55:47.100 --> 04:55:51.020 redemption story for boomage we've been kind of on the edge of it happening 04:55:51.020 --> 04:55:54.580 before but this is a guy with a hell of a lot of history and counter-strike and if 04:55:54.580 --> 04:55:57.200 you can do it again with the sport of young guns I mean I think it was you 04:55:57.200 --> 04:56:01.300 Jacob you put it in the way that this is a proven ground for him to show that he 04:56:01.300 --> 04:56:03.300 can get back and compete with the very best. 04:56:03.300 --> 04:56:05.500 Honomous in the approving ground for Bumich. 04:56:05.500 --> 04:56:08.300 Obviously, there's, as you said, a lot of history between him and Navi. 04:56:08.620 --> 04:56:10.780 I could be didn't end the way that they would have liked to. 04:56:10.980 --> 04:56:12.940 Neither of the two parts, so to speak, back then. 04:56:12.940 --> 04:56:16.300 But ever since, you know, Bumich has been on a bit of a glimpse in Agassi's set. 04:56:16.300 --> 04:56:18.620 He hasn't really had the full breakthrough just yet. 04:56:18.860 --> 04:56:22.060 Obviously, he had a bit of a stint in cloud nine, where he at certain times 04:56:22.060 --> 04:56:23.300 did a good job with the team. 04:56:23.300 --> 04:56:24.380 And it was a bit weird, though. 04:56:24.380 --> 04:56:27.540 It was a bit weird, you know, and that was never really worked out the way it was 04:56:27.540 --> 04:56:30.460 opposed to the name value at the very least looked to be very promising. 04:56:30.460 --> 04:56:34.460 But he has actually faced Navi twice with Cloud9 and he's won both times, you know 04:56:34.460 --> 04:56:37.700 So he's on a bit of a win streak, you know going up against his own organization now 04:56:37.900 --> 04:56:40.740 Obviously the Navi back then and the Navi today two different rosters 04:56:40.740 --> 04:56:44.660 But in terms of having the upper hand and in that hit to hit well, it's boomage right now 04:56:44.820 --> 04:56:50.220 He was the IGL when simple finally got his right finally got his major or in stock home 04:56:50.220 --> 04:56:53.140 That was bits breakout here too, right? So 04:56:53.900 --> 04:56:57.380 Familiarity with him and blade I think that's the most important one right because 04:56:57.380 --> 04:57:01.040 played of course the meta changes and we're in a different version of 04:57:01.040 --> 04:57:04.680 Counter-Strike now but his philosophy about the game does not change and 04:57:04.680 --> 04:57:07.960 there's a lot of similarities about how they're playing out or how they played 04:57:07.960 --> 04:57:11.920 five years ago when it comes to the main principles of the system right and 04:57:11.920 --> 04:57:15.600 perhaps that's something that Pumich can utilize that knowledge to translate to 04:57:15.600 --> 04:57:19.240 his players and sort of get them well prepared to understand what are the main 04:57:19.240 --> 04:57:22.440 triggers in this novice. That's not something I was going to ask you because it's always 04:57:22.440 --> 04:57:26.400 kind of a supportive that we use when you play it on a team, when you play 04:57:26.400 --> 04:57:29.720 in a game either when you play with the coach then you might have a upper hand a 04:57:29.720 --> 04:57:34.000 kind of anti-strattling versus them but how realistic is that considering a the 04:57:34.000 --> 04:57:38.400 amount of time that's being between when boomage is on Navi and right now and be 04:57:38.400 --> 04:57:42.480 it doesn't maybe risk you playing yourself into a hole if you're over 04:57:42.480 --> 04:57:45.240 anticipating what they're going to be doing it's true you have to be careful 04:57:45.240 --> 04:57:49.120 about not relying too much on any sort of anti-strat whether there's 04:57:49.120 --> 04:57:53.800 familiarity or not right but I think just from a broader standpoint of the 04:57:53.800 --> 04:57:59.420 macro game like he understands what it is and now he's trying to achieve in rounds and how they want to you know get 04:58:00.420 --> 04:58:05.260 To the end of rounds right and a lot of it is going to come down to timing and understand alright 04:58:05.260 --> 04:58:06.420 Like at this moment 04:58:06.420 --> 04:58:11.300 This is the moment for us to make a move and this is the moment for you guys to not do anything because right now 04:58:11.300 --> 04:58:17.080 They're just sitting there waiting for us to make a move to punish us right. That's what the whole round is about so not 04:58:17.720 --> 04:58:22.160 Play your entire hand based off of that, but you know sprinkle a little bit of something in there 04:58:22.160 --> 04:58:26.580 Yeah, I mean you can always have a bit of a tendency, you know, reading into it as well. 04:58:26.580 --> 04:58:31.280 The way Blade is conducting himself in timeouts, as you said, sure thing, over the years he's 04:58:31.280 --> 04:58:34.080 probably developed, you know, new things that he likes to do. 04:58:34.080 --> 04:58:38.040 I think he's also getting accustomed to a new version of Nami and dealing with different 04:58:38.040 --> 04:58:41.280 personalities than he dealt with back when he had Bumich on the team, but whenever you 04:58:41.280 --> 04:58:44.760 see the games, and if we ever were going to see a game that gets close, you know, you 04:58:44.760 --> 04:58:48.960 have a scoreline that is 11-11, you take a tactical timeout from Blade, you know, Bumich 04:58:48.960 --> 04:58:52.320 probably have a pretty good idea of what his tendency is to do after a time out 04:58:52.320 --> 04:58:57.080 like that. So it can be a favor but as Janko also said you know don't rely too 04:58:57.080 --> 04:59:00.720 much on it because it can also be the other way around. This is a big achievement 04:59:00.720 --> 04:59:04.920 for him as well. I mean just as an IGL you know it was weird because talking 04:59:04.920 --> 04:59:08.720 about spirit and some of the struggles in that department like you know Bumic 04:59:08.720 --> 04:59:12.160 was a name that was floated around is why don't they look at him. I mean the guy 04:59:12.160 --> 04:59:16.200 is a proven winner. He played with Navi during that run obviously went through 04:59:16.200 --> 04:59:18.560 some changes of his own, right? 04:59:18.560 --> 04:59:20.680 And he's now grinding it out with bad boom, 04:59:20.680 --> 04:59:22.760 like you're going, you're putting maggots 04:59:22.760 --> 04:59:24.760 in this completely new role and everything. 04:59:24.760 --> 04:59:26.040 So I don't know what's going on there, 04:59:26.040 --> 04:59:28.400 but if Boomage can continue to deliver with his team, 04:59:28.400 --> 04:59:30.520 let's not forget, they're playing with a stand-in. 04:59:30.520 --> 04:59:32.880 As well, actually two stand-ins really in a way, 04:59:32.880 --> 04:59:35.120 they've just had to commit to one because of the major 04:59:35.120 --> 04:59:37.760 and how their road to Cologne has looked like. 04:59:37.760 --> 04:59:40.520 That's pretty impressive to be able to put it all together. 04:59:40.520 --> 04:59:41.360 Well, speaking of Boomage, 04:59:41.360 --> 04:59:43.640 let's hear from him ahead of the semi-final. 04:59:43.640 --> 04:59:52.200 Get a chance to talk with Boomage ahead of your semi-finals against Navi and it's them. 04:59:52.200 --> 04:59:54.400 Is it kind of personal right now for you? 04:59:54.400 --> 04:59:56.560 Does it affect you because of you know, old steam? 04:59:56.560 --> 05:00:04.520 No, I'm already playing Cloud9 versus them and it's just very interesting to play versus 05:00:04.520 --> 05:00:06.520 Blade that's all. 05:00:06.520 --> 05:00:11.440 I mean, I found it interesting that you are on this tournament yet to win the opponent's 05:00:11.440 --> 05:00:12.440 map pick. 05:00:12.440 --> 05:00:18.440 How does the map pool is going on in bad boom right now? Is there a punish pick? 05:00:18.440 --> 05:00:23.440 Because it's pretty brutal to play every game where you kind of struggle on opponent's map. 05:00:23.440 --> 05:00:27.440 And I think actually they picked Ancient against you. Did you expect that? 05:00:27.440 --> 05:00:33.440 Yes, we expected that. You know we are mixed with Flammus, so we don't have a lot of days to practice. 05:00:33.440 --> 05:00:38.440 So every map can be shake here or can be picked for us, so we just don't care. 05:00:38.440 --> 05:00:41.840 You think generally your map pool is ready for Navi today? 05:00:42.240 --> 05:00:43.440 We will see. 05:00:43.440 --> 05:00:46.740 Okay, I like the answer and speaking about Flamos and the stand-in situation 05:00:46.740 --> 05:00:48.080 I spoke with you in Barcelona 05:00:48.080 --> 05:00:51.700 It was like a month ago at this point and you told me it's incredibly difficult to call 05:00:52.000 --> 05:00:55.400 In a mixed team like that with a little practice, but it's been some time 05:00:55.400 --> 05:01:02.340 So did you you know get into the gears and are the guys sorting in a little bit making it easier for you to also? 05:01:02.440 --> 05:01:04.440 Perform not to micromanage everything 05:01:04.440 --> 05:01:13.440 You know, it's a lot of space for creating some new calls because we are mixed and can do like every round, every map, script and script and script. 05:01:13.440 --> 05:01:21.440 So this is like a good opportunity to me to be the free caller, you know, and a lot of guys in our team like Magnus and Zord, 05:01:21.440 --> 05:01:28.440 they're trying to help me like what they can do and then like structure the call under his mousse, so everything is okay. 05:01:28.440 --> 05:01:37.440 It's okay, we already played three tournaments before and this tournament, so we're trying to be better, that's all. 05:01:37.440 --> 05:01:41.440 And weirdly, all of those tournaments that you played, you have pretty good results. 05:01:41.440 --> 05:01:46.440 Even now, Top 4 finished already and we're looking to get even better. 05:01:46.440 --> 05:01:49.440 Is this standing buff lasting for too long? 05:01:49.440 --> 05:01:53.440 Are you actually a generally better team with Zorte and Flamos on the team? 05:01:53.440 --> 05:01:59.040 It's really hurting because we're practicing with one roster and playing tournaments in the second roster. 05:01:59.040 --> 05:02:02.040 But we really don't understand what's happening. 05:02:02.040 --> 05:02:06.440 But we have the opportunity to win some tournaments and we're trying it. 05:02:06.440 --> 05:02:08.840 So that's it. Really. 05:02:08.840 --> 05:02:12.440 I love your honesty. Not understanding. Yet it works somehow. 05:02:12.440 --> 05:02:14.840 So good luck in this server. Let's see you on the server. 05:02:16.440 --> 05:02:22.040 Yeah, it probably helped out when you've got a man like Flamme spitting off numbers like he has been doing. 05:02:22.040 --> 05:02:25.620 I mean he's the fourth highest rated player so far in this tournament and has been playing 05:02:25.620 --> 05:02:30.520 lights out and finally starting to show some of that promise that we saw a couple of years 05:02:30.520 --> 05:02:32.480 ago when he was a sought after talent. 05:02:32.480 --> 05:02:35.340 You know, the room was about him potentially going to G2 when they were lacking a player 05:02:35.340 --> 05:02:39.720 and then for some reason they were really worked out in VP a little bit of a stint on 05:02:39.720 --> 05:02:40.720 Marie. 05:02:40.720 --> 05:02:41.720 Yeah, a lot of good reasons. 05:02:41.720 --> 05:02:42.720 I would not have known that he would see. 05:02:42.720 --> 05:02:46.240 Not a good reasons if I didn't work out in MVP shout out to James, but who G as well 05:02:46.240 --> 05:02:50.000 to some extent couldn't really find his footing and now he's coming into the team with seemingly 05:02:50.000 --> 05:02:54.240 he's not saying will and as said you know being the fourth highest ready player at IAM Atlanta 05:02:54.240 --> 05:02:57.840 whether you're standing or not that is super super impressive. Yeah for a lot of these young 05:02:57.840 --> 05:03:02.320 players it can be a matter of the right fit you know cut the veterans culturally whether it's just 05:03:02.320 --> 05:03:07.200 the style of the team whether it's who the captain is you know and I think Flanders has shown that 05:03:07.200 --> 05:03:12.000 he's talented right and that he has the potential but I think he's one of those guys that it needs 05:03:12.000 --> 05:03:16.000 to be the right fit for you to get the most out of that. Well when we're talking about their opponent 05:03:16.000 --> 05:03:21.520 on the other side of things. I just wanted to try and quantify Anko. What did that Navi victory 05:03:21.520 --> 05:03:25.840 over Vitality actually mean for these guys at this point in the season as well? 05:03:25.840 --> 05:03:30.480 Everything. It was proof of concept. It showed them that they can be the best team in the world. 05:03:30.480 --> 05:03:34.080 You know, they had some close games and you're like, you're already telling that to yourself, 05:03:34.080 --> 05:03:37.840 if only we didn't mess up this or didn't mess up that. But now you've done it. Like, 05:03:37.840 --> 05:03:41.760 and you were able to grind it out. And, you know, Blade was saying in an interview, like, 05:03:41.760 --> 05:03:46.400 in whichever condition Vitality is, it's a huge benefit for them, and I absolutely agree, 05:03:46.400 --> 05:03:50.240 because that flips the switch in the players' heads too. Like now, you're seeing it, 05:03:50.240 --> 05:03:54.240 you're seeing that you could get it done moving forward. Like obviously, the worst thing that 05:03:54.240 --> 05:03:58.240 could happen is for them to fumble now at this tournament, whether it's here or even in the 05:03:58.240 --> 05:04:02.560 final. Like they're a huge favorite against Gamer Legion, goes without a doubt. But if not, it 05:04:02.560 --> 05:04:06.720 takes care of business for the rest of the way. All of a sudden, you're going into the Cologne 05:04:06.720 --> 05:04:12.720 major with a lot more interesting story line when it comes to who can challenge right now. 05:04:12.720 --> 05:04:16.320 That's who I'm praying for. Please don't be a mouse, please don't be a mouse, please don't be a mouse. 05:04:16.320 --> 05:04:21.600 Back in Cologne, 20 to 25, because that was like, oh my god, you've overcome your final boss, 05:04:21.600 --> 05:04:25.920 it so it seems, then you just fall flat. Surely Navi don't do that today? 05:04:25.920 --> 05:04:30.640 I mean, never say never for you, to be completely honest. I expect Navi to always be a game too. 05:04:30.640 --> 05:04:34.480 Yeah, but to be completely honest, you know, they're going up against a bedroom who got nothing 05:04:34.480 --> 05:04:39.040 to lose and that is a dangerous prospect. And as I said, boomers have beaten Navi twice as well 05:04:39.040 --> 05:04:43.920 so they can also try to build up their own cases why they should be able to beat Navi. But as you 05:04:43.920 --> 05:04:47.360 said as well, it's super important for Navi to get the job done because at the end of the day, 05:04:47.360 --> 05:04:50.880 sure thing, you showed that you could beat Bartender in this current condition, but if it's 05:04:50.880 --> 05:04:54.560 not good enough to win the tournament, then it doesn't really change that much. I want to believe 05:04:54.560 --> 05:04:58.720 you, Jacob, with this bad boom thing. But when the guy is saying, I don't really know how we did it, 05:04:58.720 --> 05:05:03.520 but here we are, it's hard for me to feel confident that they can continue upsetting, right? I think 05:05:03.520 --> 05:05:10.240 This is just where, you know, the clock hits midnight and Cinderella turns into a pumpkin again or whatever goes on there 05:05:10.240 --> 05:05:15.600 I don't remember but you know that they've done an amazing job to be at this stage of the tournament, right? 05:05:15.600 --> 05:05:20.000 But like Wumich was saying with the stand-in and having to call and you know 05:05:20.000 --> 05:05:24.200 You're practicing with one lineup to go to a tournament with a different one like there's nothing worse 05:05:24.640 --> 05:05:29.540 That you need to do and the only way they can win this game is if they just 05:05:29.540 --> 05:05:34.420 just snowball maps and play from ahead the entire time because if plan a doesn't work 05:05:34.420 --> 05:05:40.020 there's maybe a plan b after that it's you know say a prayer and and free for all. Well maybe we 05:05:40.020 --> 05:05:46.900 should hear from the other side of the coin in that case it's Eme with Steco. Another interview 05:05:46.900 --> 05:05:52.740 now with Eme but this you know stage is kind of good for you right you lifted the curse yesterday 05:05:52.740 --> 05:05:57.860 can you turn it into blessing I feel like audience as well we're cheering for you or maybe against 05:05:57.860 --> 05:06:15.860 I'm not sure if it was for us or if it was against Vitality, because like sometimes we feel like, obviously there weren't everything so far and then people want to see someone else winning and then I think it was no matter us or someone else, they were chief for that team, right? 05:06:15.860 --> 05:06:23.620 but obviously we have a lot of fans and the crowd probably is going to be again towards us 05:06:23.620 --> 05:06:27.780 and I don't know, it feels amazing to have this crowd in back. 05:06:27.780 --> 05:06:33.780 Now BedBoom is against you and your coach played and also Bit, they have a history with their captain. 05:06:34.420 --> 05:06:39.540 Did they share anything with you and insights like how he likes to call for example, what are 05:06:39.540 --> 05:06:43.380 his tendencies, you don't need to overshare but obviously something that you have to be 05:06:43.380 --> 05:06:46.180 be really careful about when you play the game? 05:06:46.180 --> 05:06:54.780 It was a long time ago, let's make it three, but obviously we have some tells and we'll 05:06:54.780 --> 05:06:59.740 try to make it in our favor and then we'll play from there. 05:06:59.740 --> 05:07:04.260 I just spoke with Bedmume as well and they're like having this stand-in situation and playing 05:07:04.260 --> 05:07:05.260 really loose. 05:07:05.260 --> 05:07:09.020 Is this something that you're maybe more comfortable to play against or less comfortable? 05:07:09.020 --> 05:07:12.940 Personally, you don't need to talk about as a team but for you, Ima. 05:07:12.940 --> 05:07:13.940 What do you think? 05:07:13.940 --> 05:07:16.740 I don't think we or I care about this. 05:07:16.740 --> 05:07:22.660 We basically play, or what they played, obviously we beat Vitality, they beat Vitality and we 05:07:22.660 --> 05:07:27.900 should not underestimate them overall and then we should also not think that, okay, we beat 05:07:27.900 --> 05:07:32.580 Vitality, we won the trophy because we have one or two games ahead of us and then we just 05:07:32.580 --> 05:07:33.580 need to focus on those. 05:07:33.580 --> 05:07:36.940 That leads me nicely to the last question, which is you said in the interview that the 05:07:36.940 --> 05:07:39.340 biggest opponent for you is you. 05:07:39.340 --> 05:07:41.460 Can you elaborate a little bit on that? 05:07:41.460 --> 05:07:48.460 I mean, it's just the worst, like, obviously if we gonna fuck up our situation, we gonna lose more rounds. 05:07:48.460 --> 05:07:56.460 And if we gonna play how we play over goal, and then if we play how we know we can play, we have a better chance to win every time. 05:07:56.460 --> 05:08:03.460 Maybe that this winning against Vitality can lead to certain overconfidence, which is sometimes, by the way, as dangerous as not... 05:08:03.460 --> 05:08:06.460 Yeah, right? So, what do you think about that? 05:08:06.460 --> 05:08:14.160 I hope so, definitely, because it was our curse, our captain, I'd say, and we managed to beat them, 05:08:14.160 --> 05:08:19.960 and then probably we will have some confidence out of that, and we'll just have to see what happens. 05:08:19.960 --> 05:08:23.460 Let's ride the wave, let's ride the momentum, I will see you in the server. 05:08:23.460 --> 05:08:24.460 Okay. 05:08:24.460 --> 05:08:27.460 You got ready for this, Koto? 05:08:27.460 --> 05:08:33.460 Yeah, I love that, Peno on the question coming out of Siko there, because it's so true, right? 05:08:33.460 --> 05:08:36.980 Right, EMA probably feels like in a lot of those situations against Vitali, 05:08:36.980 --> 05:08:38.380 they were just losing to themselves. 05:08:38.380 --> 05:08:41.100 Yeah, and I think it's a statement that a lot of different players 05:08:41.100 --> 05:08:43.620 and a lot of different teams have used over the time, you know, 05:08:43.620 --> 05:08:46.300 that we are our own worst enemy to some degree. 05:08:46.300 --> 05:08:47.820 And there's always a bit of truth to it. 05:08:47.820 --> 05:08:50.580 But I think in Navi's case, it's very much the case, you know, 05:08:50.580 --> 05:08:52.860 especially when you consider who's left in the tournament. 05:08:52.860 --> 05:08:55.300 As Jango said, it's very hard to build a case of them not being 05:08:55.300 --> 05:08:57.180 the heavy favorite going into the semi-final. 05:08:57.180 --> 05:08:59.820 And if they were to play game or leave in the final as well, 05:08:59.820 --> 05:09:02.460 even more so when you consider the history of Navi as well, 05:09:02.460 --> 05:09:07.460 He's always been a team that is struggling with the body language, with sometimes losing control over the game. 05:09:07.460 --> 05:09:12.460 Seemingly, as of late, they've gotten control over it, so them being their own worst enemy, I definitely buy into that. 05:09:12.460 --> 05:09:22.460 Yeah, well, we'll have to see, right? I think they're just unlocks something with that win, because also it's important against a team that you figure out how you want to play against them. 05:09:22.460 --> 05:09:30.460 This is how we need to play. You still need to execute that to do it, but it's much easier than when you just lost and are unsure how to approach that. 05:09:30.460 --> 05:09:39.460 I don't think in the meto there's really any surprises for Batboom. It was either Nuke or Anubis. I guess they decided to go against Anubis in this one. 05:09:39.460 --> 05:09:47.460 Ancient for Navi makes sense. The high swing rate on that map last three months, right? It hasn't been the best for Batboom. 05:09:47.460 --> 05:09:52.940 In terms of which side you're going to have to start on ancient is one where it's not as bad starting on this side 05:09:52.940 --> 05:09:57.020 Quickly Jacob any surprises here for you in terms of maps or as expected as expected 05:09:57.020 --> 05:09:58.940 I'm just happy that now we didn't stay away from ancient 05:09:58.940 --> 05:10:02.660 Obviously they had their game against game or leaving where they got absolutely smacked to be completely honest 05:10:02.660 --> 05:10:05.540 But then the one against legacy and they very much trust in the agent 05:10:05.540 --> 05:10:09.060 You know, maybe there was a one game off where nothing really worked out against game or legion 05:10:09.060 --> 05:10:12.900 But in terms of bringing it into the semi-finals and for the rest of the tournament seemingly they have no problem 05:10:12.900 --> 05:10:18.460 Well, by the way, it is indeed time to get our second Sene final rolling. It's Navi taking on Batman 05:10:31.740 --> 05:10:38.520 Buddy how we doing out there Atlanta there we go Atlanta. Hello everybody. Good evening. How are we? 05:10:38.520 --> 05:10:45.440 You know, the Intel Extreme Master is one thing, right? 05:10:45.440 --> 05:10:47.280 It's one thing to do it in N.A. 05:10:47.280 --> 05:10:50.080 It's another thing to do it here in Atlanta with you all. 05:10:50.080 --> 05:10:51.800 It's a very, very special treat. 05:10:51.800 --> 05:10:53.200 So give yourselves a round of applause. 05:10:53.200 --> 05:10:56.920 You guys have been awesome throughout the duration here. 05:10:56.920 --> 05:11:04.440 One of our competitors in the semi has had their share of hardships, but as of yesterday, 05:11:04.440 --> 05:11:07.520 put one of those demons away. 05:11:07.520 --> 05:11:11.920 But both of these teams enter the stage today trying to look their best for that Cologne 05:11:11.920 --> 05:11:14.680 Major ahead. 05:11:14.680 --> 05:11:18.800 So is it going to be, is it going to be that boom? 05:11:18.800 --> 05:11:24.960 What about, is it going to be Navi? 05:11:24.960 --> 05:11:32.760 No, no, but surely somebody said that boom, right? 05:11:32.760 --> 05:11:33.760 Nobody, nobody. 05:11:33.760 --> 05:11:34.760 But Navi. 05:11:34.760 --> 05:11:42.400 Well, the tension in this building has certainly built up in Atlanta. 05:11:42.400 --> 05:11:43.400 You've been awesome. 05:11:43.400 --> 05:11:47.880 I need you on your baddest behavior because it's time for our next match. 05:12:34.760 --> 05:12:41.760 Atlanta, I need you to make some noise! 05:12:41.760 --> 05:12:50.760 Let's go, let's go, let's go! 05:12:50.760 --> 05:13:01.360 At this moment we took down the Vitalis, I think I was really shocked because we were 05:13:01.360 --> 05:13:04.360 We were playing with Stendin and we were practicing for four days. 05:13:06.360 --> 05:13:09.360 I'm just standing in, just trying to help the boys out. 05:13:09.360 --> 05:13:12.360 I'm here to show myself that I'm capable of playing on a good level. 05:13:13.360 --> 05:13:16.360 For the game, even against Vita, I was checking their map pools. 05:13:17.360 --> 05:13:20.360 It was thought that they can beat Vitality because Vita was not practicing. 05:13:21.360 --> 05:13:24.360 Of course, they did great job, they played well. It was not that surprise. 05:13:31.360 --> 05:13:36.360 I really want to face Navi. I think the community knows in the story. 05:13:40.360 --> 05:13:43.360 To face Navi? It means everything for me. 05:13:49.360 --> 05:13:55.360 Our first semi-finalist takes to the stage. Make some noise for Beth Boone! 05:14:31.360 --> 05:15:00.360 Atlanta, now joining us in the arena, your second semi-finalist, Navi! 05:16:00.360 --> 05:16:11.980 Well, the crowd clearly have their favorite, but can that translate into another victory 05:16:11.980 --> 05:16:12.980 today? 05:16:12.980 --> 05:16:18.300 For an arts man, you'd also be siding with Navi for a laundry list of reasons, but Jacob, 05:16:18.300 --> 05:16:23.260 sell me on the prospects that Betbun continue their underdog run here on the stage. 05:16:23.260 --> 05:16:26.060 That's a tough task to give me for her to be completely honest. 05:16:26.060 --> 05:16:29.500 There's not a lot of signs that is pointing in that direction, but if anything, it's 05:16:29.500 --> 05:16:32.700 It's the whole notion of going into this game with nothing to lose. 05:16:32.700 --> 05:16:33.760 You can play it freed up. 05:16:33.760 --> 05:16:36.180 You have had Flamme so far having a great tournament. 05:16:36.180 --> 05:16:38.740 You've had Magnus as well being the sixth highest rated player. 05:16:38.740 --> 05:16:42.140 So in terms of the individuals, in terms of the firepower, I think there's a world where 05:16:42.140 --> 05:16:46.860 BedBoom can in some occasion match Navi on the server, but I'll be completely honest 05:16:46.860 --> 05:16:47.860 for you. 05:16:47.860 --> 05:16:51.380 The best BedBoom ever winning this game is if Navi is not turning up today. 05:16:51.380 --> 05:16:53.780 So for me, it's kind of out of the outings. 05:16:53.780 --> 05:16:58.340 And the key is not only good starts, but also maintaining poise, right? 05:16:58.340 --> 05:17:03.300 They were very vocal about in the group stage, everyone was calm in that game against Vitality 05:17:03.300 --> 05:17:07.900 or Nuke, the decider, they didn't let the comeback happen, they always had faith that 05:17:07.900 --> 05:17:09.900 they were going to be able to close out the game. 05:17:09.900 --> 05:17:15.100 Now it's obviously a different environment, you absolutely need to maintain that point. 05:17:15.100 --> 05:17:18.260 If you're going to have any chance of challenging Navi here. 05:17:18.260 --> 05:17:21.580 And I don't have any doubts that Navi are able to do that, right? 05:17:21.580 --> 05:17:25.860 We heard all those words coming out of Mikado, which is rare in itself, Jacob, the fact that 05:17:25.860 --> 05:17:28.060 they finally managed two best Vitality. 05:17:28.060 --> 05:17:32.060 I don't have any concerns that they won't continue that momentum here today. 05:17:32.060 --> 05:17:35.060 They should be able to. They even get to start on their own map pickers. 05:17:35.060 --> 05:17:40.060 The ancient map they've been very strong of, you know, speaking of Mikasa as well, heading into Ancient, 05:17:40.060 --> 05:17:42.060 he is the catalyst behind this Na'Vi lineup. 05:17:42.060 --> 05:17:45.060 He's the guy that is always attempting the opening kills. 05:17:45.060 --> 05:17:47.060 He's the guy that is always at the center of attention. 05:17:47.060 --> 05:17:52.060 His T-side rating on Erich on this map is 1.50, which is outrageous for a player like Mikasa. 05:17:52.060 --> 05:17:57.060 So if you speak about, you know, certain individuals from Na'Vi that can really do the dirty stuff to bedroom, 05:17:57.060 --> 05:18:02.260 whom I would first and foremost look at Maccasio. And he did have a quieter game yesterday against 05:18:02.260 --> 05:18:07.700 Vitality but this is exactly the sort of an opponent where he can have a field day, right? 05:18:07.700 --> 05:18:13.940 And all eyes will be on him, bad-bombed, complex care, right? They have to try and take the game to 05:18:13.940 --> 05:18:20.260 Navi, be aggressive no matter how prepared Navi will be for that, like you can't go into a 05:18:20.260 --> 05:18:26.100 tactical back-and-forth with them. Bimic not only versus his former organization but versus the coach 05:18:26.100 --> 05:18:31.300 who led him to major glory, but this, this is going to be a tough battle in Atlanta tonight. 05:18:35.540 --> 05:18:43.540 A tough battle indeed. It's an unlikely matchup for a semi-final. Both teams defeating Vitality, 05:18:43.540 --> 05:18:49.060 the world number one, the one to beat, and one of them even sending them home yesterday. 05:18:49.060 --> 05:18:59.060 Na'Vi, clear favourites for the title and Na'Vi are aiming for a fourth final this year. 05:18:59.060 --> 05:19:03.060 The loss here could tarnish that victory yesterday. 05:19:03.060 --> 05:19:07.060 It needs a whole lot more if you go on to lift the trophy. 05:19:07.060 --> 05:19:11.060 Cat-Bet-Boom continues their giant killer run. 05:19:11.060 --> 05:19:17.060 The Rich wants more of that Navi jersey, he says it means everything. 05:19:17.060 --> 05:19:24.060 Now he's up against them on that playoff stage, an opportunity to continue his Grim Reaper, 05:19:24.060 --> 05:19:27.060 knocking on the world number one and two store. 05:19:27.060 --> 05:19:33.060 Is there something, are the legs to this semi-final, or is this just going to be a run to that final for Navi? 05:19:33.060 --> 05:19:35.060 We're going to find out. 05:19:35.060 --> 05:19:36.500 It starts on ancient. 05:19:36.500 --> 05:19:37.700 Navi's pick. 05:19:38.940 --> 05:19:40.620 Two star for Navi. 05:19:44.060 --> 05:19:47.580 Some of their worst ancient loss ever with this roster. 05:19:47.580 --> 05:19:48.580 Little bit over in the tournament. 05:19:48.580 --> 05:19:50.420 It's game of legend 13 to 1. 05:19:51.180 --> 05:19:52.860 We're now quick to this right out mid. 05:19:52.860 --> 05:19:53.740 Straight out mid. 05:19:53.740 --> 05:19:55.500 Oh, and the cut. 05:19:55.500 --> 05:19:56.900 He's caught a bullet. 05:19:58.140 --> 05:19:58.980 Big boom. 05:19:58.980 --> 05:20:22.180 That's what Yanko was looking for to take some chances, take some risks, the mid-reagress 05:20:22.180 --> 05:20:26.260 perfect and the shots even better. 05:20:26.260 --> 05:20:30.580 is Alexi in game leader left in 1v4. Not a lot he's going to be able to get away with in this 05:20:30.580 --> 05:20:36.500 one. So the bomb not going down. We'll talk about that when we get there. Can he kick up any fuss? 05:20:36.500 --> 05:20:41.540 Jill Brett is up close in siren. Doesn't see all the deal right there but that's the information. 05:20:45.300 --> 05:20:52.020 Can now be bringing the level of intensity required. Take on a team like this and that's 05:20:52.020 --> 05:20:55.940 the best way to kick things off isn't it? He's actually going to be playing middle on the CT 05:20:55.940 --> 05:21:00.180 side alongside of Siren or Zordy, depending on the setups. And that means he's going to have a tough task here. 05:21:00.180 --> 05:21:04.340 It is just peppering the smokes, couple of bullets, spammed on through him, Mikazi goes down, 05:21:04.340 --> 05:21:08.340 and that's going to be equal on the other side, which is strange. Right, an in-game leader taking on 05:21:08.900 --> 05:21:13.780 the space take up. Zordy with a couple of nice ones as well. Okay, eco to come in from Navi. 05:21:14.340 --> 05:21:19.140 Deagle for wonderful. The rest is just going to be, ah, and Emerc, excuse me, has to be on the blocks. 05:21:19.140 --> 05:21:26.140 I think it's interesting. This 05:21:26.240 --> 05:21:28.140 stand in conversation. 05:21:28.240 --> 05:21:30.140 Flamuses played 45 maps with the 05:21:30.240 --> 05:21:32.140 team, so it's not your standard 05:21:32.240 --> 05:21:35.140 standing. I've played an awful 05:21:35.240 --> 05:21:37.140 lot of maps together, right? That's 05:21:37.240 --> 05:21:41.140 all this year. It's that gone the 05:21:41.240 --> 05:21:43.140 way that we would have hoped with 05:21:43.240 --> 05:21:45.140 some of these visa issues, 05:21:45.140 --> 05:21:51.440 and he's the type of guy who in a stage game, I think he's expecting to do some of his best work, right? 05:21:51.440 --> 05:21:57.440 He's this extramotor personality. He gets fired up. He plays flurry counter-strike and in your face. 05:21:57.940 --> 05:21:58.940 I think this is the 05:21:59.940 --> 05:22:02.340 type of domain for him to do some of his best work. 05:22:02.340 --> 05:22:05.740 If you can get him and Magnet just firing all cylinders, that's a firepower right there. 05:22:05.940 --> 05:22:10.140 Here you go. Delwitt 2-0 stuff for Betberman. Now we can get into the guns. 05:22:45.140 --> 05:22:54.140 You wanted to see aggression, not playing scared, Magnajez using that MP9 bonus round with some aggression to immediately give his boys an open kill. 05:22:54.140 --> 05:22:55.140 There's a type of map for it, isn't there? 05:22:55.140 --> 05:22:58.140 Nature can be an absolute brawl around middle and lane. 05:22:58.140 --> 05:23:01.140 Count some more time for Magnajez to get him low, that might be enough to kind of humble him back to site. 05:23:01.140 --> 05:23:06.140 Look at the amount of nades that you have remaining here for now, B, we've got a minute and 20 left on the clock. 05:23:06.140 --> 05:23:13.140 A jump from B, nice fire, controls the strain onto the head of Zorty. 05:23:13.140 --> 05:23:16.260 It's been juggled. Matt has just been himself into a rifle. 05:23:16.260 --> 05:23:21.760 Playing Vite, B-Ranows, because he takes this space. Wonderful, and Birt are going to head back through spawn to join this. 05:23:21.760 --> 05:23:24.160 Now, I mentioned the U2, just to smoke in a molly. 05:23:24.160 --> 05:23:25.360 That could be easy. 05:23:25.360 --> 05:23:29.560 That's enough to smoke offshore and molly towards Long, then par them to the side, get the bomb down, 05:23:29.560 --> 05:23:35.960 and with that loss bonus building, that'd be enough to keep them in contention of at least a little bit more of an interesting purchase. 05:23:35.960 --> 05:23:41.600 I don't think that Ramsmoe's going to change the par-thing here. If anything, it's actually an invitation to start searching around it. 05:23:41.600 --> 05:23:45.600 Makase throws out that short smoke and they're into the site unannounced. 05:23:45.600 --> 05:23:49.600 3 CTs towards the back of Q, but Makase is going to flash him in. 05:23:49.600 --> 05:23:51.600 Nice deep molly, flamethrower. 05:23:51.600 --> 05:23:55.600 They get the space, they can even see by the plant, and wonderful falls away. 05:23:55.600 --> 05:23:57.600 They get them off the bomb and the frag comes in from Makase. 05:23:57.600 --> 05:23:59.600 So back to a 3 on 3. 05:23:59.600 --> 05:24:01.600 Nice headshot, Makase is not done. 05:24:01.600 --> 05:24:05.600 Two kills deep, and now that bomb planted courtesy of wonderful. 05:24:05.600 --> 05:24:08.600 Good play from Makase, he's allowing Pumich to flank. 05:24:08.600 --> 05:24:12.280 Yeah, he'll cut noise and just pause his boom, which starts to cook. 05:24:12.280 --> 05:24:16.760 Oh, HP on Wonderful, he's gonna have to hit the first headshot with that AK-47, or Booms got him. 05:24:17.960 --> 05:24:22.200 And he nails it! Clean for Wonderful, and that should be round! 05:24:27.560 --> 05:24:31.640 And they have been a bit of a crowd favourite here, happy to see them send home Apex. 05:24:38.600 --> 05:24:40.600 on will go off. 05:24:40.600 --> 05:24:42.600 Fanger, just will retain that 05:24:42.600 --> 05:24:44.600 AJ 47. Wonderful goes down with 05:24:44.600 --> 05:24:46.600 the ship. He's been in MVP level 05:24:46.600 --> 05:24:48.600 form. 05:24:48.600 --> 05:24:50.600 That's ready player of the tournament 05:24:50.600 --> 05:24:52.600 and looking to keep that up. He was 05:24:52.600 --> 05:24:54.600 masterful yesterday. 05:24:54.600 --> 05:24:56.600 So they're on the board now. 05:24:56.600 --> 05:24:58.600 Can it be consecutive? 05:24:58.600 --> 05:25:00.600 That bonus situation there is 05:25:00.600 --> 05:25:02.600 that. Yeah, it's huge, right? 05:25:02.600 --> 05:25:04.600 The fact he pivots into this in time. 05:25:04.600 --> 05:25:06.600 Very well done there from wonderful. 05:25:06.600 --> 05:25:10.600 I think. Alexiom with a Mac 10 05:25:10.600 --> 05:25:11.600 boomage and SMG. You don't 05:25:11.600 --> 05:25:12.600 remember. He's going to be 05:25:12.600 --> 05:25:14.600 tussling in middle.

You're going to hold up a 05:25:15.600 --> 05:25:17.600 second. 05:25:17.600 --> 05:25:18.600 Coming over, but it's this A 05:25:18.600 --> 05:25:19.600 play from Alexiom because of 05:25:19.600 --> 05:25:20.600 the interest me.

They're gonna be found by big 05:51:54.680 --> 05:51:59.680 Now though, he should be tying up the game here. A, A, now a big good reaction from that boom right there 05:51:59.680 --> 05:52:00.680 that boom right there. Understand 05:52:00.680 --> 05:52:01.680 the mid aggression. They take the 05:52:01.680 --> 05:52:03.680 space on a they make it somewhat 05:52:03.680 --> 05:52:04.680 interesting, but it's aughty's 05:52:04.680 --> 05:52:05.680 death. It's a tough one. Here we 05:52:05.680 --> 05:52:07.680 go again. 05:52:13.680 --> 05:52:15.680 Tough luck luck out there today. 05:52:20.680 --> 05:52:22.680 Well, the purest of the goes up. 05:52:22.680 --> 05:52:23.680 Michael Jess is going to get a 05:52:23.680 --> 05:52:24.680 single flashback. At least there's 05:52:24.680 --> 05:52:25.680 something that's not towards 05:52:25.680 --> 05:52:27.680 game as well. So $500 worth of 05:52:27.680 --> 05:52:33.200 investment so much you can take with you 05:52:40.000 --> 05:52:43.400 here's the flash you wouldn't hell of a flash if you get a bomb plant out of this 05:52:43.400 --> 05:52:45.800 good luck 05:53:15.800 --> 05:53:21.720 I think that Navi will really start to stride into a bit of a lead. 05:53:21.720 --> 05:53:31.240 This should be their comfort zone CT side on their map choice. 05:53:31.240 --> 05:53:32.240 Certainly the expectation. 05:53:32.240 --> 05:53:34.240 We'll see if it's met. 05:53:34.240 --> 05:53:41.560 Kaze holding his mid space, flashes Kashin, Lexi, but he's got support, doesn't need much help. 05:53:41.560 --> 05:53:44.240 But Kaze and Lexi win it every two they take! 05:53:44.240 --> 05:53:50.000 Down goes Wonderful, nice one back from Zorty on the clawback. Siren does extend play by surviving. 05:53:50.000 --> 05:53:52.280 It's bit hiding out on site, he's going to be overlooked here. 05:53:52.280 --> 05:53:54.880 Zorty's got his back turned, perfect! 05:53:54.880 --> 05:54:05.880 Now just siren. Nice well placed deep smoke to completely nullify his venture towards Lane. 05:54:05.880 --> 05:54:09.880 I see some of the similar issues that Navi had in the first half when they were just saved 1-8. 05:54:09.880 --> 05:54:12.880 That's if he's allowed. Look at this. Mokazi and Ima both push through. Elbow to cut him off. 05:54:12.880 --> 05:54:18.880 Alexi and Bitter over towards the doors. They're even smoking and making sure that there is really no way out. 05:54:18.880 --> 05:54:34.880 He's going to try and contend for this if he can't soften them up, they've got 4 AKs right now, if you can make sure they can't carry all of these into the next, but you will be opting in with the partial. 05:54:34.880 --> 05:54:41.880 The shot sounds off, a bit looking firm, and RB in the lead. 05:54:49.880 --> 05:54:51.880 And there's a timeout. 05:54:51.880 --> 05:54:54.880 A little bit too late as this one will just have to be the light by. 05:54:54.880 --> 05:54:57.880 But Alexi, you can see just using their own smoke against them, 05:54:57.880 --> 05:54:59.880 aware of the flash opportunities. 05:54:59.880 --> 05:55:03.880 The fact that he's able to cover off Heaven means Mikazi gets to focus firing towards Elbow. 05:55:03.880 --> 05:55:06.380 and they make that look way too easy. 05:55:18.880 --> 05:55:23.180 It smokes and flashes with these tech nines being invested upon and you would love to get away with saying poppy, right? 05:55:23.180 --> 05:55:27.880 This is where if you're able to catch them off with the timing, you could swarm them with the tech nines, 05:55:27.880 --> 05:55:32.380 but Navira team who should have their anti-force protocols down, 05:55:33.880 --> 05:55:49.920 He's out in the middle, Mikase turns behind the Dono smoke, get to support it with his 05:55:49.920 --> 05:55:50.920 smoke break play. 05:55:50.920 --> 05:55:55.800 And he's found a headshot, completely obscured that. 05:55:55.800 --> 05:56:01.000 In the smoke was boom, doesn't stop it from delivering an opening kill. 05:56:01.000 --> 05:56:04.040 will start to fade shortly. 05:56:04.040 --> 05:56:05.040 He'll dip back. 05:56:05.040 --> 05:56:09.800 Because he actually elects him to block Donut, doesn't want to have to contend with multiple 05:56:09.800 --> 05:56:11.200 techneines running at him. 05:56:11.200 --> 05:56:13.600 They set up nicely for this down RV. 05:56:13.600 --> 05:56:14.600 Shave one off early. 05:56:14.600 --> 05:56:19.600 They use all their nades so they have a little bit of space, sure, but you don't need to 05:56:19.600 --> 05:56:20.600 squirm too much. 05:56:20.600 --> 05:56:23.360 It's not the same as if you're versing AKs on the lurk and crunching you in. 05:56:23.360 --> 05:56:27.120 This is just going to be the pistol, and that's going to be confirmed. 05:56:27.120 --> 05:56:29.960 Nice jumping from Magniges confirms the orbs. 05:56:29.960 --> 05:56:32.960 This could be a tough clear, Mikaze. 05:56:32.960 --> 05:56:35.960 Does that go all the way in? 05:56:35.960 --> 05:56:37.960 I could have gone down with that little move. 05:56:37.960 --> 05:56:39.960 They are starting to split today. 05:56:39.960 --> 05:56:42.960 Yeah, it's just Mikaze here. 05:56:42.960 --> 05:56:45.960 This grounds for excitement. 05:56:45.960 --> 05:56:48.960 If they can find Mikaze here. 05:56:48.960 --> 05:56:51.960 Drops here, finds Flamme, steps back, spots the advance of Siren, 05:56:51.960 --> 05:56:53.960 becomes a buy-in as well. 05:56:53.960 --> 05:56:54.960 It's clean. 05:57:24.960 --> 05:57:31.960 So, who does get out of his awp? 05:57:31.960 --> 05:57:34.960 Wouldn't that be a difference make-up? 05:57:34.960 --> 05:57:42.960 They're setting up sorts of without smoke break. 05:57:42.960 --> 05:57:46.960 At that first aid she came very, very early. 05:57:46.960 --> 05:57:48.960 Oh, lucky. 05:57:48.960 --> 05:57:52.960 Just trying his luck, because they bring some down with ease. 05:57:52.960 --> 05:57:58.960 Didn't even need him as help, half in that sportive flashbang, but a damage for Alexi off the cage, Nate. 05:57:58.960 --> 05:58:02.960 Another opening for Na'Vi, he's a blow nicely. 05:58:05.960 --> 05:58:07.960 Oppressive smoke spouts. 05:58:07.960 --> 05:58:11.960 That first half in terms of openings was very difficult for Na'Vi. 05:58:11.960 --> 05:58:13.960 10-2 in Betbombs' favour. 05:58:43.960 --> 05:58:52.080 a tiny bag could have been nine plus rounds. This one might be spotless. Emma might be able 05:58:52.080 --> 05:58:56.900 to join the boys with an AK going into the next as Zorty. Thirty seconds remain wanting 05:58:56.900 --> 05:59:01.440 to retain his AWP. Again, Max loss bonus for the rest of the team and that's where the 05:59:01.440 --> 05:59:06.280 plan in the previous really does help out Batboo for another five. We'll catch this 05:59:06.280 --> 05:59:13.720 again. So close wall player, the flashes come over, dodging him just spamming the corner. 05:59:13.720 --> 05:59:18.200 They want him and they're going to take him. 05:59:18.200 --> 05:59:20.800 Wonderful will remove the possibility of that save. 05:59:28.400 --> 05:59:30.600 New start playing with him now. 05:59:30.600 --> 05:59:32.320 Running out of opportunities damn quick. 05:59:43.720 --> 06:00:05.720 It is falling apart for background, the wheels have come off. 06:00:05.720 --> 06:00:09.200 Definition of insanity at this point, you keep trying to fight middle and every time 06:00:09.200 --> 06:00:13.800 It's the same result because they get to multi if he doesn't there's in there 06:00:14.720 --> 06:00:16.720 Silled into that red room 06:00:18.800 --> 06:00:20.800 Plamas wants him 06:00:22.240 --> 06:00:26.000 How good are his players here in a staying active on the line? 06:00:31.160 --> 06:00:33.720 Wonderful in tone up clean with it finding plan us 06:00:33.720 --> 06:00:38.720 And that's round, folks. This one is going one way and one way fast. 06:00:38.720 --> 06:00:41.720 That's nine kills in the last seven rounds of play. That's it. 06:00:41.720 --> 06:00:44.720 And they all have sin to come after the round was already done, right? 06:00:44.720 --> 06:00:46.720 It's all just consolation frags at this point. 06:00:48.720 --> 06:00:51.720 A real tone shift from that first half that felt competitive. 06:00:52.720 --> 06:00:56.720 Navi had to wake up and realize this one was going to be a battle. 06:00:56.720 --> 06:00:59.720 And now that they have, they're the beast that we knew they could be. 06:00:59.720 --> 06:01:05.720 But you're right about those clutches. Gave the the Navi boys the splash of water on the phase to poke them up. 06:01:05.720 --> 06:01:09.720 And the second half had to start with them with the force by wind. They even lost the pistol. 06:01:09.720 --> 06:01:13.720 It could have gone real wrong real quick, right? You lose that. You have to take the eco, the guns come out. 06:01:13.720 --> 06:01:18.720 It's not the best to buys. At that point, Betbum are in double digits. You're in strife. 06:01:18.720 --> 06:01:21.720 And right now you have a four-round lead, just one to the name, and it's done. 06:01:21.720 --> 06:01:27.720 It seems like somewhat of a platitude, but when you are a world beta, when you are a world number one, world number two in Navi's case, 06:01:27.720 --> 06:01:33.200 Winning those second-hand forces, winning those compromised buys, that's what defines and makes that team so great. 06:01:33.680 --> 06:01:35.680 You've got to be able to win the rounds you shouldn't. 06:01:38.040 --> 06:01:40.320 Now today just put him away here with a landslide. 06:01:40.480 --> 06:01:43.840 Yeah, is there anything else? Is there a twist or a turn to this story? 06:01:44.400 --> 06:01:46.800 Macalse catching early-nade damage is a good start. 06:01:49.160 --> 06:01:52.460 At least they're not just running out mid into him. Let's say their time on this one 06:01:52.460 --> 06:01:57.900 It's batted by Galil's mainly Mac 10 and an AK and they're just going to try and contact 06:01:57.900 --> 06:02:03.500 in towards A but couldn't be a better weapon for the job waiting on the side. 06:02:03.500 --> 06:02:06.740 Wonderful Zorb in temple. 06:02:06.740 --> 06:02:08.540 His support network is far away. 06:02:08.540 --> 06:02:09.540 Getting further. 06:02:09.540 --> 06:02:14.140 Yeah, if he misses that first shot and they scale in, this one could get a little bit 06:02:14.140 --> 06:02:15.140 tough. 06:02:15.140 --> 06:02:18.940 Might not be 8 straight to close. 06:02:18.940 --> 06:02:23.940 And Util will keep Mikaze's attention on middle. 06:02:23.940 --> 06:02:26.940 Deep donor smoke as well, wonderful. 06:02:26.940 --> 06:02:30.940 His reaction to that is actually to play within the donor. 06:02:30.940 --> 06:02:33.940 Interesting choice. 06:02:33.940 --> 06:02:36.940 Through the smoke and ready to fight. 06:02:36.940 --> 06:02:38.940 Nice fight! Couches magnetized! 06:02:38.940 --> 06:02:41.940 Oh, an important trade! Alexi right back there! 06:02:41.940 --> 06:02:43.940 Couches boon before he could find cover. 06:02:43.940 --> 06:02:46.940 They're into the ace side, but they're actually going to play for the fight here. 06:02:46.940 --> 06:02:50.280 Siren and Flamas on this fade. Can I have Mikaze to deal with? 06:02:51.020 --> 06:02:54.040 Barrel spotted. Oh, he lined up for him nearly. 06:02:54.820 --> 06:02:58.500 Trade from Siren, bomb ticking. Yeah, Bits could get the sound, he's over to Waz Dainot. 06:02:58.500 --> 06:03:03.580 They need a way for him to rotate into this. That smoke. Oh, it's bruising. All the chaos. There's no HE. 06:03:03.580 --> 06:03:06.580 Oh, you've got an incendiary. No, not like this. 06:03:07.460 --> 06:03:09.700 Horrible sinking feeling for Betbroom here. 06:03:10.860 --> 06:03:14.860 Already the Betfew is coming through and it's Navi's map after all. 06:03:14.860 --> 06:03:17.500 a very one-sided affair in our second half. 06:03:17.500 --> 06:03:19.020 Eight straight rounds to close, 06:03:19.020 --> 06:03:21.500 every single one of them with the opening kill, 06:03:21.500 --> 06:03:23.780 and that's how it's done from Na'Vi. 06:03:23.780 --> 06:03:27.540 Punch in their ticket, one that mapped close-up to the grand final. 06:03:44.860 --> 06:03:46.860 I 06:04:14.860 --> 06:04:24.860 Come on, come on. Show me red. 06:04:24.860 --> 06:04:34.860 One more. 06:04:34.860 --> 06:04:36.860 Big B. 06:04:36.860 --> 06:04:39.860 Franky! Hey! 06:04:39.860 --> 06:04:43.860 Great B.

Look Alex I reviewed your department's financials. Oh good! I'm sure 06:05:07.980 --> 06:05:12.140 everything's in order. Alex it's a disaster.

She's part of the team. 06:07:40.860 --> 06:07:44.860 And what does Mikaela exactly do? 06:07:44.860 --> 06:07:51.860 Mostly admin, bit of morale.

Skip him. 06:09:17.860 --> 06:09:32.580 Talk to me, Donna. After careful review, there's significant discrepancies in your accounts. 06:09:32.580 --> 06:09:36.300 Your department is operating at a massive deficit. 06:09:36.300 --> 06:09:41.620 Right. So, I mean, deficit, that's not normally problem. 06:09:41.620 --> 06:09:47.740 I'm sorry, Alex. Head office has instructed the immediate closure of the DHL Esports Logistics 06:09:47.740 --> 06:09:53.480 division. What? You've got to be kidding me. These are our jobs. Our livelihood is 06:09:53.480 --> 06:09:56.140 on the line. We're not going to be able to pay our bills. 06:09:56.140 --> 06:10:06.140 You are ruining lives right now. And this is not going to go down this way. You're not 06:10:06.140 --> 06:10:09.180 just shutting down the country. What are you doing? 06:10:09.180 --> 06:10:10.900 Let him go and get him like this! 06:10:10.900 --> 06:10:12.300 We're gonna fuck this up! 06:10:12.300 --> 06:10:14.300 Hey, you better be calling him! 06:10:21.740 --> 06:10:24.740 You're the first to take him. 06:10:24.740 --> 06:10:28.740 You have a face. 06:10:28.740 --> 06:10:30.740 Very nice. 06:11:00.740 --> 06:11:02.740 Oh 06:11:30.740 --> 06:11:37.740 This is it. I can feel it. It's that track! 06:11:38.740 --> 06:11:41.740 Someone once said, good luck, Mr. Richardson. 06:11:41.740 --> 06:11:46.740 It turns out, luck is the one thing I never run out. 06:11:46.740 --> 06:11:52.740 Oh. Yeah, we should, uh, we should totally stop doing this. 06:11:52.740 --> 06:11:56.740 Yeah, we should uh, we should totally stop doing this. 06:12:13.740 --> 06:12:18.740 Back and forth in the first half, but once we switched to the second it truly was all coming up Navi. 06:12:18.740 --> 06:12:21.140 It's not to say they didn't have to put in the work for it. 06:12:21.140 --> 06:12:24.900 It came down to some individual heroics that we will get into very shortly. 06:12:24.900 --> 06:12:28.260 But ultimately, Janko and Navi do stabilise on that city side. 06:12:28.260 --> 06:12:31.460 Yeah, it's after a rough start. It was a little bit dicey there. 06:12:31.460 --> 06:12:33.620 I mean, Betboum was taking all the boxes, 06:12:33.620 --> 06:12:35.700 winning pistol, getting the early reset, 06:12:35.700 --> 06:12:37.540 being really aggressive, playing in Navi's face, 06:12:37.540 --> 06:12:40.420 you know, not allowing them any room to breathe. 06:12:40.420 --> 06:12:43.700 But then, as you said, a couple of clutch rounds from Navi's players, 06:12:43.700 --> 06:12:45.780 they stepped up, were able to stabilise, 06:12:45.780 --> 06:12:47.380 and then you could tell in the second half 06:12:47.380 --> 06:12:51.380 and had to play from the T side is where they're going to start to struggle. 06:12:51.380 --> 06:12:54.380 Navi was struggling finding any openings in that first half whatsoever. 06:12:54.380 --> 06:12:57.380 She said it was Bedroom taking all the boxes, one thing is winning pistol converting, 06:12:57.380 --> 06:13:01.380 but even in the buy rounds, even in the gun rounds, it felt like they were one step ahead. 06:13:01.380 --> 06:13:04.380 A couple of rounds where Navi seemed a little disjointed, 06:13:04.380 --> 06:13:06.380 a couple of rounds as well where Navi would win a round, 06:13:06.380 --> 06:13:08.380 but they would do it only surviving one player. 06:13:08.380 --> 06:13:10.380 Next round they would have a weaker buy than Bedroom 06:13:10.380 --> 06:13:13.380 and be forced to walk out middle with no utility, etc. 06:13:13.380 --> 06:13:17.800 So it really did feel like Navi were playing on the back heel for the vast majority in that first half 06:13:17.800 --> 06:13:22.740 And I think if anything it was good that they got away with five rounds because that was probably a little bit more than you could have expected 06:13:22.740 --> 06:13:27.180 I totally agree with the openers. Yeah, Navi may not have had but closes. They definitely did, right Anko? 06:13:27.260 --> 06:13:33.100 Yeah, and I think some of the rounds that we have to showcase that it's also the sort of rounds that 06:13:33.300 --> 06:13:39.100 That won't really counter for it to lose. Yeah, this sort of a matchup and what sucks is they start off by doing really well 06:13:39.100 --> 06:13:41.900 Look at this aggression, this was looking incredible. 06:13:41.900 --> 06:13:44.500 Maybe they get somewhat unlucky on the timing, 06:13:44.500 --> 06:13:46.300 that they can't get more kills here. 06:13:46.300 --> 06:13:51.100 Siren, just one and done, then Zorty is close by as well. 06:13:51.100 --> 06:13:53.700 But this is what you wanted to see from badminton going into the game. 06:13:53.700 --> 06:13:55.500 You can see the money is tapped out from Navi. 06:13:55.500 --> 06:13:57.900 This is a reset round, so 4v3 here. 06:13:57.900 --> 06:14:02.500 Zorty a little bit overzealous, pushes too much, 3v3 now. 06:14:02.500 --> 06:14:06.500 They go for the B execute, some nice kills here through the smoke, 06:14:06.500 --> 06:14:09.500 Bit switching to the block like this was huge to get the kill 06:14:09.500 --> 06:14:14.300 Flamme to Flamme and Alexi in this one we won against Boomer 06:14:14.300 --> 06:14:18.000 just goes for a ballsy play through the smoke and is able to secure the clutch 06:14:18.000 --> 06:14:22.220 avoid the reset for Navi. It was so important you know such a key round as 06:14:22.220 --> 06:14:25.740 Janko said had they lost that one no money no nothing it would have been a 06:14:25.740 --> 06:14:29.500 bad situation fast forward to the next one as well around that where they 06:14:29.500 --> 06:14:32.780 trade pretty well bit comes up with a nice multi-kill then against Seren 06:14:32.780 --> 06:14:36.300 coming in and evening out the round and it felt like as I said Navi were playing 06:14:36.300 --> 06:14:39.140 on the back, you'll throw out the vaspiria of this game, can win these 06:14:39.140 --> 06:14:42.180 tools and then you find yourself in a 1v2 and then Mikasa stepped up, I 06:14:42.180 --> 06:14:45.820 spoke about him as an impact on the T side, this time around, not in the opening 06:14:45.820 --> 06:14:49.460 kill department but in the closer role, there was such a pivotal moment as well 06:14:49.460 --> 06:14:52.540 because yeah, you won round nine, but had you lost round ten right here, you 06:14:52.540 --> 06:14:55.580 would have been back to square one, no money whatsoever and Betboom would have 06:14:55.580 --> 06:14:58.300 run away with that first half. Do you want to speak of being screwed in the 06:14:58.300 --> 06:15:01.300 money because I think there's no better example when we go into the second and 06:15:01.300 --> 06:15:05.380 Betboom win that crucial pistol, but then what happens next? Yeah, they need to have 06:15:05.380 --> 06:15:08.780 that momentum right especially on the T side and here it was a little bit 06:15:08.780 --> 06:15:13.420 chaotically through a fake actually they end up going towards Ima who is on his 06:15:13.420 --> 06:15:17.460 own right Magna is cutting off the rotation but Ima does a great job of 06:15:17.460 --> 06:15:23.500 getting a kill buying time Magna doesn't end up doing too much on from that 06:15:23.500 --> 06:15:27.220 red room to cut off rotation he's still on for now we just ran past them and 06:15:27.220 --> 06:15:30.580 were able to overwhelm the bomb site and this was huge right because we were 06:15:30.580 --> 06:15:34.380 saying T side is gonna be rough for a bad one playing with a stand and practicing 06:15:34.380 --> 06:15:38.860 with a different player, you know, the playbook isn't going to be really deep, so you have 06:15:38.860 --> 06:15:40.980 to win these easy rounds. 06:15:40.980 --> 06:15:42.500 So how's it looking moving on to Nuke? 06:15:42.500 --> 06:15:45.780 This is Betboom's map pick, but do you think Navi can do it right here right now? 06:15:45.780 --> 06:15:49.260 I think the fashion, Navi ended up winning on Ancient where they run away with the game 06:15:49.260 --> 06:15:53.940 and BitBoom doesn't get anything done whatsoever for seven or eight rounds in a row, is not 06:15:53.940 --> 06:15:57.820 going to be a pretty look heading into Nuke, starting on the T side as well, against the 06:15:57.820 --> 06:16:01.220 Navi team who definitely knows how to play Nuke, who have been stepping up on the map 06:16:01.220 --> 06:16:02.620 as of late as well. 06:16:02.620 --> 06:16:06.340 I'm afraid that that's it for Bedboom, but I would love to see them come out swinging in. 06:16:06.340 --> 06:16:09.580 As you said, they were ticking all the boxes, win the pistol, convert. 06:16:09.580 --> 06:16:12.300 Don't make the same mistake you did here on ancient in the second half, 06:16:12.300 --> 06:16:16.100 and then maybe you can have another competitive map, because the scoreline doesn't do justice. 06:16:16.100 --> 06:16:21.020 I think that was a much, much closer game than 13-8, to be completely honest, but I'm afraid Nuke won't be. 06:16:21.020 --> 06:16:23.180 Everything is in Navi's hands, really. 06:16:23.180 --> 06:16:27.420 If they play just a standard game, I think they have enough to shut down Bedboom, 06:16:27.420 --> 06:16:29.300 but the approach needs to stay the same. 06:16:29.300 --> 06:16:35.300 You need to be aggressive, you need to get in their face and just hope that this time around you win some more of these crucial rounds. 06:16:35.300 --> 06:16:42.300 Navi, certainly the favourites coming into our second semi-final of the day, but can Betboom change that tune moving on to their map pick? 06:16:42.300 --> 06:16:46.300 They're going to need to do it fast. It's Nuke coming your way in just a few. 06:17:59.300 --> 06:18:01.300 Help me, help me! 06:18:16.300 --> 06:18:18.300 I'm on TP, come, come, come! 06:18:20.300 --> 06:18:21.300 I'm on TP! 06:18:21.300 --> 06:18:23.300 I'm on TP, I'm on Settler. 06:18:23.300 --> 06:18:24.300 I'm on C. 06:18:25.300 --> 06:18:26.300 I'm on C. 06:18:26.300 --> 06:18:27.300 I'm on TP. 06:18:27.300 --> 06:18:28.300 I'm on C. 06:18:28.300 --> 06:18:30.300 I'm going behind, I'm going behind. 06:18:30.300 --> 06:18:32.300 I'm going behind, I'm going behind. 06:18:32.300 --> 06:18:34.300 I'm going behind, I'm going behind. 06:18:34.300 --> 06:18:36.300 You can still go, wait. 06:18:36.300 --> 06:18:38.300 One more short. 06:18:38.300 --> 06:18:40.300 One more short. 06:18:44.300 --> 06:18:46.300 One more short. 06:18:46.300 --> 06:18:48.300 Three in, blyat. 06:18:48.300 --> 06:18:50.300 Coming out, I'm down. 06:18:50.300 --> 06:18:52.300 More. 06:18:52.300 --> 06:18:54.300 They're going to window. 06:18:54.300 --> 06:18:56.300 Window. 06:18:56.300 --> 06:18:58.300 I kill window 06:18:58.300 --> 06:19:00.300 Go go go 06:19:00.300 --> 06:19:02.300 I flash up 06:19:02.300 --> 06:19:04.300 I can take the smoke 06:19:04.300 --> 06:19:06.300 I'll help you 06:19:06.300 --> 06:19:08.300 Okay 06:19:08.300 --> 06:19:10.300 Two down up 06:19:10.300 --> 06:19:12.300 I'm defusing up 06:19:12.300 --> 06:19:14.300 On the box guys 06:19:18.300 --> 06:19:20.300 You're trying? 06:19:20.300 --> 06:19:22.300 Come on 06:19:22.300 --> 06:19:26.540 here on the floor at the Intellecture Masters Atlanta. We're here for the Colex fantasy team. 06:19:26.540 --> 06:19:32.220 Yesterday we met our team, Jason. How's your team doing, Nico? Well, just pretty, pretty crap, 06:19:32.220 --> 06:19:36.860 Jason. I'm not gonna lie. It's not great. I picked three Vitality players. Vitality went out yesterday. 06:19:36.860 --> 06:19:41.420 I picked two legacy players, but legacy went out today. So not doing great, Jason. You've got one 06:19:41.420 --> 06:19:45.580 player remaining. I got one player alive. I had three Vitality players and then I have Dimao. He's 06:19:45.580 --> 06:19:50.380 obviously gone, but I got Mikaza and he's still partying here in the 75. So I'm winning. That's 06:19:50.380 --> 06:19:51.300 That's all I'm taking away. 06:19:51.300 --> 06:19:53.900 By the skin of your T-Jays, you're winning one single player. 06:19:53.900 --> 06:19:55.620 But if you had to pick a game-relagian player, 06:19:55.620 --> 06:19:57.780 could go back in time, who would it have been? 06:19:57.780 --> 06:19:58.620 Raz. 06:19:58.620 --> 06:19:59.300 I would pick Raz. 06:19:59.300 --> 06:20:00.900 I would pick P.R. 06:20:00.900 --> 06:20:01.420 P.R.? 06:20:01.420 --> 06:20:01.820 Yeah. 06:20:01.820 --> 06:20:02.320 I like it. 06:20:02.320 --> 06:20:02.340 I like it. 06:20:02.340 --> 06:20:02.940 I like it. 06:20:02.940 --> 06:20:03.440 I like it. 06:20:03.440 --> 06:20:03.940 I like it. 06:20:03.940 --> 06:20:04.780 I want to go for a thousand. 06:20:04.780 --> 06:20:05.580 Red's a good shot, though. 06:20:05.580 --> 06:20:07.260 He had some sick games, and now the grand finals 06:20:07.260 --> 06:20:07.980 just up in the air. 06:20:07.980 --> 06:20:09.140 Yeah, well, there's also high-packs. 06:20:09.140 --> 06:20:09.820 He's been clutched. 06:20:09.820 --> 06:20:10.460 Yes. 06:20:10.460 --> 06:20:12.420 So let's see how it goes down. 06:20:12.420 --> 06:20:14.860 We don't have a spirit here, but let's go. 06:20:14.860 --> 06:20:16.860 We know we've picked on, but he's not here. 06:20:27.660 --> 06:20:31.500 Semi-final Saturday, we continue here live from Atlanta, Georgia. 06:20:31.500 --> 06:20:36.860 The crowd's been great. They've been enjoying Navi picking up the first map of this semi-final. 06:20:36.860 --> 06:20:39.740 Bet, boom, and Navi, both teams that managed to beat Vitality. 06:20:39.740 --> 06:20:43.340 No Vitality. You're going to be lifting that trophy. Navi made sure of that. 06:20:43.340 --> 06:20:48.340 that. Now for the path to 06:20:48.340 --> 06:20:51.340 converting it now the pursuit 06:20:51.340 --> 06:20:52.340 of getting another grand final. 06:20:52.340 --> 06:20:53.340 This would be their fourth 06:20:53.340 --> 06:20:55.340 grand final of the year. 06:20:55.340 --> 06:20:56.340 For that boom. They were 06:20:56.340 --> 06:20:58.340 outclassed by now the second 06:20:58.340 --> 06:21:00.340 half of ancient. You saw those 06:21:00.340 --> 06:21:01.340 clutches. The death saying 06:21:01.340 --> 06:21:03.340 perhaps a scoreline deceptive. 06:21:03.340 --> 06:21:04.340 It was, you know, a real 06:21:04.340 --> 06:21:05.340 opportunity for that boom to 06:21:05.340 --> 06:21:07.340 put the one foot forward 06:21:07.340 --> 06:21:08.340 coming into this semifinal. 06:21:08.340 --> 06:21:10.340 Good at a stronger first half. 06:21:10.340 --> 06:21:11.340 Could have a stronger second 06:21:11.340 --> 06:21:17.660 Number two and they were in with a shot, but now I couldn't imagine a worse side to find yourself. Sure. It's your map pick nuke 06:21:18.740 --> 06:21:23.540 And it could be overpass right these tea sides on these technical maps is a long way up 06:21:25.460 --> 06:21:29.580 And you've got to start the tea side of your pick nuke 06:21:31.460 --> 06:21:33.460 strategy heavy 06:21:34.940 --> 06:21:40.020 And this standing alleged standing and we you've highlighted flammers with a lot of reps with the bad boys 06:21:40.020 --> 06:21:42.180 He's been still lacking polish perhaps 06:21:49.220 --> 06:21:55.380 Will it be a once into the ground final for now? Is it going to be casual as ancient felt in that second half? 06:21:55.780 --> 06:22:02.020 Oh, but Boone got what it takes in order to make this competitive in the second map of our semi-final here 06:22:05.380 --> 06:22:09.540 Individuals are on, the form hasn't gone anywhere, a bit wonderful, Mikaze 06:22:10.020 --> 06:22:15.460 All firing. You need to match that up on the other side of the server. 06:22:15.460 --> 06:22:20.900 Ives on Zorty, been packed for all the mapper on the spot side, especially on that CT. 06:22:20.900 --> 06:22:24.980 Travis, though, on the team, he's going to have to find an impact. 06:22:24.980 --> 06:22:27.940 Try to put himself in that shot window. Let's get it on! 06:22:27.940 --> 06:22:29.940 CHEERING 06:22:33.940 --> 06:22:35.940 Love me, some Luke. 06:22:35.940 --> 06:22:47.080 don't play this full of times to mainly success the big one being that vitality result 06:22:47.080 --> 06:22:51.080 It's been a smoking habit with that one. 06:22:51.080 --> 06:22:53.080 He has. 06:22:53.080 --> 06:22:58.080 Karzai's got a 2-2 contender win and Inna is perfectly positioned. 06:22:58.080 --> 06:23:01.080 So casual with the clicks. 06:23:01.080 --> 06:23:03.080 Three headshots in. 06:23:03.080 --> 06:23:06.080 Run it out, yeah, you got nothing. 06:23:08.080 --> 06:23:09.080 Eight straights to close. 06:23:09.080 --> 06:23:12.080 Ancient will throw another one on the tally. 06:23:12.080 --> 06:23:16.080 Let's see how long it takes before Betfum are able to draw blood. 06:23:16.080 --> 06:23:27.080 No plan, yeah. This is the thing you're considering. Okay, well, we do have a stand in your map choice being new to technical map. 06:23:27.080 --> 06:23:35.080 It's always going to be tough, but Emma, clean clicks and Alexi just braves. He's meant to be making the space. 06:23:35.080 --> 06:23:42.080 We'll have them there as we get on the way with round number two. This one should be easy. 06:23:48.080 --> 06:23:52.080 Let's see what the Famous spots Magnetjez over towards red. 06:23:53.080 --> 06:23:59.080 It's already up on Sala, but without any digs it's very difficult to have any form of excitement in this one. 06:24:35.080 --> 06:24:41.160 That is the win. Extra 600 bucks for entry player. Well, you're going to take that, but 06:24:41.160 --> 06:24:47.160 you're unlikely to find a frag that refuses come through. That's the two zero stuff and 06:24:47.160 --> 06:24:51.520 RV. I think they'll be a little bit remiss that they gave that one away, but at the end 06:24:51.520 --> 06:24:55.480 of the day, it doesn't cost them too much. Just means that that boom are going to have 06:24:55.480 --> 06:25:00.400 a stronger buy. Everyone will have the AKs with the full sets in AIDS. So it gives boomage 06:25:00.400 --> 06:25:03.800 the option to call whatever he wants. The only thing lacking in this one would be Zorty 06:25:03.800 --> 06:25:05.800 with an AWP. 06:25:22.800 --> 06:25:24.800 This one looks to be yard centric. 06:25:24.800 --> 06:25:26.800 Finish up on silo. 06:25:26.800 --> 06:25:29.800 Three on the low ground, siren holding the lobby push. 06:25:29.800 --> 06:25:38.800 It's going to drop down. Has plenty of time to make it towards secret because they're just throwing the smokeball now. 06:25:38.800 --> 06:25:43.800 The fly. Looks like it's going to be... Magnet there's just off it. It's not wonderful. 06:25:43.800 --> 06:25:47.800 He's better. 06:25:47.800 --> 06:25:49.800 Masterful control of the M4A4. 06:25:49.800 --> 06:25:53.800 He saw the eruption there. Those smokes thrown relatively impromptu, right? Not set ones from spawn. 06:25:53.800 --> 06:25:57.800 They lobbed them out. Emma's just charging. Biggie, you might be able to catch the timing before they're crossing red. 06:25:57.800 --> 06:26:05.560 They're already in his face so they get the opportunity to get a kill but wonderful from the heavens delivers a beautiful double and now the man disadvantage 06:26:16.040 --> 06:26:20.080 This will not be easy because they cash out and look in the wrong way 06:26:20.680 --> 06:26:26.120 Very well timed and now with attention drawn wonderful drawn the line of the satellite is catched 06:26:26.120 --> 06:26:34.720 in the clutch. The one versus 06:26:35.020 --> 06:26:37.920 four certainly doesn't feel 06:26:37.920 --> 06:26:39.920 realistic. He tries to drop 06:26:39.920 --> 06:26:40.920 down towards be bits already 06:26:40.920 --> 06:26:42.920 there so boomage. I could 06:26:42.920 --> 06:26:46.020 squeaky. A bit of a timing is 06:26:46.020 --> 06:26:50.020 wonderful turns around on a 06:26:50.020 --> 06:26:52.020 second. I'll isolate because 06:26:52.020 --> 06:26:56.020 he's on a nose days at the 06:26:56.020 --> 06:26:57.220 It would be the end. 06:26:57.220 --> 06:26:59.620 Smoke on the side might open up an avenue for a plug, 06:26:59.620 --> 06:27:02.420 but McCarty could spam or he could fake. 06:27:02.420 --> 06:27:03.620 Time! 06:27:03.620 --> 06:27:05.380 Not enough surely. 06:27:05.380 --> 06:27:06.820 Boom in the clutch. 06:27:06.820 --> 06:27:08.740 Just enough time to get away. 06:27:08.740 --> 06:27:13.140 This would be one hell of a way to introduce that boom into Nuke 06:27:13.140 --> 06:27:16.020 and spam denies its bit. 06:27:16.020 --> 06:27:17.380 A valiant attempt. 06:27:17.380 --> 06:27:18.340 Fair play. 06:27:18.340 --> 06:27:21.220 Falls it into the 1v1. 06:27:21.220 --> 06:27:22.420 Bit ruined to the fun. 06:27:22.420 --> 06:27:23.620 Yeah, good effort there. 06:27:23.620 --> 06:27:24.420 Lots of damage done. 06:27:24.420 --> 06:27:28.420 down. The bomb goes down. 06:27:28.420 --> 06:27:29.420 2900 loss bonus into the next. 06:27:29.420 --> 06:27:30.420 They can get out another buyoff 06:27:30.420 --> 06:27:36.420 of this if they'd like. 06:27:36.420 --> 06:27:37.420 See you go for the clear trying 06:27:37.420 --> 06:27:38.420 to make sure he has that line 06:27:38.420 --> 06:27:42.420 aside, gets caught and bit. 06:27:42.420 --> 06:27:43.420 He's the man to catch him through 06:27:43.420 --> 06:27:44.420 the smoke. So around that gets 06:27:44.420 --> 06:27:46.420 tight. But it felt like they 06:27:46.420 --> 06:27:51.420 were in full control. So now 06:27:51.420 --> 06:27:53.420 11 straight 06:27:54.000 --> 06:27:58.920 Boom by back in couple of galils around the AK 47s. They got the utile again 06:27:59.820 --> 06:28:01.820 See what boomage obstacle this time around 06:28:05.460 --> 06:28:07.460 For all a difference maker 06:28:08.400 --> 06:28:10.400 The roadside I could find himself in 06:28:10.800 --> 06:28:16.040 All these key positions this time.

We'll be able to drop an M4. 06:35:45.280 --> 06:35:47.760 It's only 1400 into the next. It is going to mean that... 06:35:48.880 --> 06:35:51.360 Well, not the best device again, but it didn't seem to cost it last time 06:35:51.360 --> 06:35:53.560 and turn some aerobics or gymnastics or. 06:35:54.860 --> 06:35:55.860 Get your back broken. 06:35:56.360 --> 06:35:58.060 I think that's Pilates actually. 06:36:00.160 --> 06:36:01.160 He's reforming. 06:36:06.660 --> 06:36:10.960 Imagine Alexi to give the AK over to Makanzi outside or maybe even in towards main. 06:36:13.260 --> 06:36:16.560 It depends on what type of setup. Maybe they want to go for this yard boosts again to see if they can catch swords. 06:36:16.560 --> 06:36:18.860 He going for that same type of crawl that we saw him to. 06:36:18.860 --> 06:36:21.260 The elevation should give wonderful the line he's looking for. 06:36:22.460 --> 06:36:24.860 Second tactical timeout very early from Blade. 06:36:25.860 --> 06:36:27.460 Oh, he's talking to... 06:36:29.060 --> 06:36:30.960 No one there, and this is life, right? 06:36:30.960 --> 06:36:33.360 That was a reaction from Blade after that fell apart. 06:36:35.360 --> 06:36:36.560 Don't want to get complacent. 06:36:38.160 --> 06:36:39.860 Try and make light work of this CT half. 06:36:41.960 --> 06:36:45.160 I imagine it would be hard to grow complacent with Blade as a coach. 06:36:45.160 --> 06:36:48.660 I think he's going to constantly be there to remind them of what's at stake. 06:36:48.660 --> 06:36:50.660 Well, he's got one more of those opportunities, right? 06:36:50.660 --> 06:36:53.660 So, third two within the first seven rounds of play. 06:36:55.660 --> 06:36:59.660 And they are leading five to two. He knows what happens if they lose this next one. 06:37:00.660 --> 06:37:02.660 You've already managed to convert one of these. 06:37:03.660 --> 06:37:04.660 Stop for the break. 06:37:04.660 --> 06:37:06.660 This is actually a better bike. 06:37:06.660 --> 06:37:07.660 Yeah. 06:37:07.660 --> 06:37:10.660 AK-47, thanks to Alexi Scavenging. 06:37:12.660 --> 06:37:14.660 A couple of empty nights. 06:37:14.660 --> 06:37:21.660 Don't for an aggressive ornite sort of thing. Scoping up a flashbang and he blocks him. 06:37:21.660 --> 06:37:28.660 You might get another MagmaJazz Macaulay flash. 06:37:28.660 --> 06:37:35.660 A media smoke break. MagmaJazz not going to be revealed. Wonderful. Starting the orb towards 06:37:35.660 --> 06:37:40.660 secret.

Magnetges down to 32. 06:37:44.380 --> 06:37:46.620 What's the reaction from Beppum?

Bepp profits. 06:38:10.660 --> 06:38:14.420 Two-man advantage for Navi. Flammer's walking through the smoke. It's all too easy for him. 06:38:14.420 --> 06:38:16.420 He gets an upgrade delivered to his front door. 06:38:16.420 --> 06:38:18.660 And they have a pretty good idea where Magnetjes is. 06:38:18.660 --> 06:38:21.620 Yeah, but the bomb is in lobby on Siren with an orb. 06:38:21.620 --> 06:38:25.060 It's so uncomfortable now. He can just receive, tucks into the vent. 06:38:27.940 --> 06:38:31.220 Lexi do look like he's destined to collect this one just with that z-axis. 06:38:31.220 --> 06:38:34.020 The advantage he has on that... Oh, he just fell out. 06:38:34.020 --> 06:38:36.500 So another jump scare for Lexi on the repeat. 06:38:36.500 --> 06:38:41.500 He's going to be. So I'm 06:38:41.500 --> 06:38:42.500 unable to hit the quick scope. 06:38:42.500 --> 06:38:44.500 And yeah, what's Magna just 06:38:44.500 --> 06:38:45.500 supposed to do? He's round 06:38:45.500 --> 06:38:46.500 started by catching a bullet 06:38:46.500 --> 06:38:47.500 through the red container from 06:38:47.500 --> 06:38:52.500 wonderful Zorb. 06:38:55.500 --> 06:38:56.500 It's cool to see as well. Wonderful 06:38:56.500 --> 06:38:57.500 knowing the comms are going to 06:38:57.500 --> 06:38:58.500 flow as soon as he pulls the 06:38:58.500 --> 06:38:59.500 trigger. He was quick to run. 06:38:59.500 --> 06:39:00.500 This is it. You want your 06:39:00.500 --> 06:39:01.500 open been dynamic, right? You 06:39:01.500 --> 06:39:04.500 need him to keep moving. 06:39:04.500 --> 06:39:05.500 He's picked up that all. I'm not 06:39:05.500 --> 06:39:11.260 over towards ramp. So Magnet just saves. They get 2400 as the last for the rest of the team so they can buy again. 06:39:11.260 --> 06:39:13.260 So they have been able to stay threatening Beppu. 06:39:14.860 --> 06:39:17.500 They're not in this top position. They're having to get partial into full. 06:39:23.740 --> 06:39:28.860 And again confidence on display. The fact he's sweeping into the end, though, he's peeking after revealing his position 06:39:29.340 --> 06:39:31.580 and catching Zorty unprepared. 06:39:31.580 --> 06:39:33.860 Well, you should be after what he did yesterday. 06:39:33.860 --> 06:39:35.260 I understand it was the whole team from now on, 06:39:35.260 --> 06:39:37.260 but it felt like every time Wonderful was pulling the trigger, 06:39:37.260 --> 06:39:38.420 it was taking down Zaiwuk. 06:39:38.420 --> 06:39:40.980 I think it was like 14-7 in terms of head-to-head duels 06:39:40.980 --> 06:39:42.220 between the two of them. 06:39:46.980 --> 06:39:50.020 If you were drawing a line in the sand for T-side Nuke, 06:39:50.020 --> 06:39:51.860 what's Batboom's path of the course? 06:39:51.860 --> 06:39:54.220 This is it. If I was talking about taking the name plates away 06:39:54.220 --> 06:39:55.420 and I was going to do this traditionally, 06:39:55.420 --> 06:39:57.260 we're talking 9-3-8-4. 06:39:57.260 --> 06:39:59.420 But in Batboom's case, I'm probably looking for 5. 06:39:59.420 --> 06:40:02.620 Yeah. Okay, so it has to start here with what is compromised. 06:40:03.860 --> 06:40:05.540 Just running away from them very quickly. 06:40:06.900 --> 06:40:10.020 And that double up. Wonder if that's going to come into play here. 06:40:10.300 --> 06:40:13.220 I think they're fortunate that it is up against another, quote, unquote, gun round. 06:40:13.220 --> 06:40:15.820 But if this was against a lighter by the technology, you'd have some problems. 06:40:17.700 --> 06:40:21.220 One of the issues you will have, though, is if you lose some space, 06:40:21.220 --> 06:40:22.500 the retake is going to be tough. 06:40:22.500 --> 06:40:24.980 So you might want to play ahead of losing the sight. 06:40:24.980 --> 06:40:25.980 In a sense. 06:40:25.980 --> 06:40:30.980 McCarthy's got a lot of work to do on the gun position, stuff to spam from the main. 06:40:33.980 --> 06:40:35.980 Okay, Jess, audible. 06:40:36.980 --> 06:40:41.980 Attentual. McCarthy doesn't even take a lick. Oh, he gets the second on the swing. 06:40:42.980 --> 06:40:48.980 Flamme has gone, bit points to collect. Boom, peeks that in. It's leisurely. 06:40:48.980 --> 06:40:58.980 They keep five alive. Already so compromised, siren and sortie. 06:40:58.980 --> 06:41:17.980 Because it hasn't gone anywhere. And he's going to find another. 06:41:17.980 --> 06:41:21.180 of the last 17 rounds of play. 06:41:21.180 --> 06:41:22.460 Condemning statistic. 06:41:22.460 --> 06:41:23.660 Yeah, because he wants one more. 06:41:23.660 --> 06:41:26.300 He's going to take it. 06:41:26.300 --> 06:41:27.900 Slash out as well for him. 06:41:27.900 --> 06:41:29.740 That's cheeky. 06:41:29.740 --> 06:41:32.660 The little jiggle bait gets your eyes on the prize. 06:41:32.660 --> 06:41:34.540 And then your screen goes white. 06:41:34.540 --> 06:41:37.620 This is the time when Pepin are going to have to set that partial. 06:41:37.620 --> 06:41:41.540 And they've left that secondary AWP in the previous. 06:41:41.540 --> 06:41:43.940 So just running with the stand and set up on the CT side. 06:41:43.940 --> 06:41:46.260 But I don't even feel that bullying. 06:41:46.260 --> 06:41:50.460 I think this is just Navi being a cut above, and that's the expectation. 06:41:51.960 --> 06:41:55.760 I think we should be happy to see this level of Counter Strike on display. 06:41:56.560 --> 06:41:58.160 Amalige awake tomorrow. 06:41:58.260 --> 06:42:03.660 We've already seen them go toe-to-toe on the event so far, and that was an odd game, especially when you factor in Ancient. 06:42:03.660 --> 06:42:28.020 The site is there, bomb planted courtesy of Boomage, wonderful in heaven, and bit wrapping 06:42:28.020 --> 06:42:31.020 back around from the mini-access. 06:42:33.020 --> 06:42:34.020 Audible. 06:42:34.020 --> 06:42:36.020 He can smoke off door now. 06:42:36.020 --> 06:42:38.020 Kurt, he picked it up. 06:42:38.020 --> 06:42:40.020 He's gonna nullify MagnaJazz. 06:42:43.020 --> 06:42:44.020 Flash for Siren. 06:42:44.020 --> 06:42:45.020 Wonderful. 06:42:45.020 --> 06:42:46.020 Profits off the distraction. 06:42:46.020 --> 06:42:47.020 Gonna drop in. 06:42:47.020 --> 06:42:48.020 Big fries the headshot. 06:42:48.020 --> 06:42:49.020 This is winnable now. 06:42:49.020 --> 06:42:51.020 Doesn't have a kit though. 06:42:51.020 --> 06:42:52.020 Maybe I take that back. 06:42:52.020 --> 06:42:55.020 MagnaJazz all he has to do is hit the headshot. 06:42:55.020 --> 06:42:56.020 But it's got him. 06:42:56.020 --> 06:42:57.020 There's just simply no time. 06:42:57.020 --> 06:43:02.020 time. Yeah, that's a bit 06:43:02.020 --> 06:43:03.020 frustrating. Plenty of cash for 06:43:03.020 --> 06:43:05.020 a kid. Oh, you're right. So 06:43:05.020 --> 06:43:07.020 a lot of money on RV that made 06:43:07.020 --> 06:43:08.020 that a possibility, but that 06:43:08.020 --> 06:43:09.020 one, they got lost in the 06:43:09.020 --> 06:43:10.020 source. They get the opening 06:43:10.020 --> 06:43:11.020 kill on the spam. Alexi even 06:43:11.020 --> 06:43:12.020 grabs another towards the 06:43:12.020 --> 06:43:13.020 heart. It's the fact that a 06:43:13.020 --> 06:43:14.020 play out magnitude is able to 06:43:14.020 --> 06:43:15.020 get past Mikazi through that 06:43:15.020 --> 06:43:17.020 main smoke. So that one's a bit 06:43:17.020 --> 06:43:19.020 of a frustrating round, but it 06:43:19.020 --> 06:43:21.020 stops the rock and causes a 06:43:21.020 --> 06:43:22.020 bit of a ruckus. 06:43:22.020 --> 06:43:26.620 with the form you show, and I think that kill onto Mikaze just making sure he gets nothing 06:43:26.620 --> 06:43:29.820 is a big one. 06:43:29.820 --> 06:43:34.860 Well, Blade, if you don't laugh, you'll cry. 06:43:34.860 --> 06:43:36.980 Why is it more scary when he's playing? 06:43:36.980 --> 06:43:40.300 Whatever he's having fun with it, Flammus is out! 06:43:40.300 --> 06:43:41.300 Flammus! 06:43:41.300 --> 06:43:42.300 Straight out, Tuck's vent. 06:43:42.300 --> 06:43:47.140 It must have been religiously breaking this squeaky smoke, but it's not going to be exposed, 06:43:47.140 --> 06:43:49.140 and maybe going to catch a time off the flash. 06:43:49.140 --> 06:43:53.140 And this guy surely books him! Flamme a sentry frag, Boomitch on top! 06:43:53.940 --> 06:43:55.220 And topside's theirs! 06:43:55.740 --> 06:44:00.340 Macarze gets nothing on the smoke break, just sets himself up, exposes himself to Siren and... 06:44:01.040 --> 06:44:03.940 That's gonna be a comfortable clean round for that boom. 06:44:03.940 --> 06:44:07.840 Very important patch arounds. The five is still available, and now they know that they're saving. 06:44:07.840 --> 06:44:10.040 The hunt can be on, try and rip these guns away. 06:44:11.840 --> 06:44:13.740 Think Bit knows he's gonna have to fight for this. 06:44:15.340 --> 06:44:16.540 Protect the president. 06:44:16.540 --> 06:44:22.240 the first place. We're getting 06:44:22.240 --> 06:44:23.340 tacked up heavily from planers 06:44:23.340 --> 06:44:26.540 using that elevated position. 06:44:26.540 --> 06:44:28.540 Does very well. Taking all the 06:44:28.540 --> 06:44:30.540 guns away as well. Very important 06:44:30.540 --> 06:44:32.540 for the campaign here on new 06:44:32.540 --> 06:44:34.540 that before they will be able to 06:44:34.540 --> 06:44:36.540 buy again. And of course they're 06:44:36.540 --> 06:44:38.540 going to shove. It's going to be 06:44:38.540 --> 06:44:40.540 the final round of play coming up 06:44:40.540 --> 06:44:42.540 next, but it's not going to look as 06:44:42.540 --> 06:44:44.540 good as it could. So now we're 06:44:44.540 --> 06:44:48.540 I don't think played wants to take another time to go time out in this first half of play 06:44:48.540 --> 06:44:50.540 This is the CT side after all 06:44:50.540 --> 06:44:55.300 But a recovered half. Yeah, and look I think if now V you can see multiple moments 06:44:55.300 --> 06:44:58.540 They've titted and this will be the third time now. This isn't a money break situation 06:44:58.540 --> 06:45:01.140 Let's just put them in a tougher buy for the final round 06:45:01.140 --> 06:45:08.140 down the ramp. 06:45:08.140 --> 06:45:22.980 That's wonderful.

And this one 07:05:35.020 --> 07:05:37.020 How do you feel about that one? 07:05:37.020 --> 07:05:39.020 Thank you. It was convincing. 07:05:39.020 --> 07:05:42.020 But the start on Ancient, they really pushed us back. 07:05:42.020 --> 07:05:44.020 I'm just glad we won the Antiforce on the CT side, 07:05:44.020 --> 07:05:47.020 and after that I felt like we were in control of the whole game. 07:05:47.020 --> 07:05:51.020 You know, you switch over to Nuke, you pick up where you left off with CT dominance. 07:05:51.020 --> 07:05:57.020 Tell me, what is it about the Navi that showed up yesterday that needs the show tomorrow? 07:05:57.020 --> 07:05:59.020 I just think it's confidence. 07:05:59.020 --> 07:06:01.020 I think that all the individuals are feeling their moves. 07:06:01.020 --> 07:06:03.020 We have individuals playing great. 07:06:03.020 --> 07:06:09.220 And I think that we gained some valuable experience how to play on stage and we're playing some of the moments perfectly 07:06:09.620 --> 07:06:15.180 Now this Atlanta crowd may be just a little bit split tomorrow. It seemed like there were game religion fans. There are Navi fans 07:06:15.940 --> 07:06:18.140 How would you go about getting them on your side? 07:06:18.900 --> 07:06:23.820 Yeah, I think the game religion is there deserved. We practiced them even before the playoffs 07:06:24.500 --> 07:06:28.940 And now we're again playing against each other on finals. We played in two tournaments in a row 07:06:28.940 --> 07:06:33.940 They really want every bench, but I think we just we understand how good we are right now 07:06:33.940 --> 07:06:36.860 And we need to trust each other and trust ourselves and I think 07:06:37.420 --> 07:06:42.020 Tomorrow will be a good day. I'd like to be thank you very much. Can I get you to sign the camera? Thank you 07:06:42.020 --> 07:07:00.340 An emphatic end to this semifinal from Navi, and now their eyes locks firmly on that trophy. 07:07:00.340 --> 07:07:04.340 It's Alexei alluded to the individuals truly coming alive. It was a story of Makazi on 07:07:04.340 --> 07:07:08.940 ancient. It simply was wonderful doing work on Nuke as well, Janko. 07:07:08.940 --> 07:07:13.380 Yeah, definitely. So Navi, as we said, taking care of business, right? 07:07:13.380 --> 07:07:16.580 Like it was obvious they were the big favorite coming into this matchup 07:07:16.580 --> 07:07:21.660 having just taken down Vitality yesterday and, you know, Lexi obviously having a 07:07:21.660 --> 07:07:25.860 really clear picture of how the match went, right? Initially on ancient, 07:07:25.860 --> 07:07:30.340 got a little bit dicey, but it felt like from that second half they were just in 07:07:30.340 --> 07:07:35.180 control. If you tell Blade, didn't lose a step, right? Two timeouts in the first half, 07:07:35.180 --> 07:07:40.700 even though they had avoided being reset, had a great CT side and were able to 07:07:40.700 --> 07:07:44.460 close it out in the second half. Yeah, a very solid performance coming in from Nami, 07:07:44.460 --> 07:07:47.900 good for them to make sure that they wouldn't pull up a mouse, you know, who I 07:07:47.900 --> 07:07:51.220 guess were the one question we had whether or not, you know, beating Vitality 07:07:51.220 --> 07:07:54.540 would be a bit of a sleeping pillar for them. I think we got a clear answer today 07:07:54.540 --> 07:07:57.900 that Nami is here to win the trophy and Nami is here to continue down the great 07:07:57.900 --> 07:08:01.380 form they've been showing as of late. A team that's shown stability, a team that 07:08:01.380 --> 07:08:09.580 They've had an easy task almost, you know, beating teams beneath them, but have had that one issue, you know, about beating mentality, but seemingly that's not an issue anymore. 07:08:09.580 --> 07:08:12.020 Winning against a team like Bedroom, not an issue anymore. 07:08:12.020 --> 07:08:23.460 Sure thing, certain moments on Nugas' world, there was a couple of rounds that maybe could have swung away at Bedroom when it was 6-3, where you think, OK, we may have a game on our hand, but every single time it just got a bit dicey, they would shut them down. 07:08:23.460 --> 07:08:30.940 But you're really grasping at straws, as I just said, and there might have been a few opportunities occasionally that shows just how dominant Nabi was in the semi. 07:08:30.940 --> 07:08:37.820 Yeah, and the losses outside of seeding games, which was one loss to Legacy here and one to Furia, 07:08:37.820 --> 07:08:42.380 and outside of that, they only lost to Vitality in the last four tournaments, which is pretty 07:08:42.380 --> 07:08:47.260 impressive. All things considered, they got over that hump here and against BedBoom, especially 07:08:47.260 --> 07:08:53.260 considering the state of BedBoom, having Flamos as a stand-in, even Zorty for Artforce was only 07:08:53.260 --> 07:08:58.460 because that's how they qualified for the major and they can't change two players. So far removed 07:08:58.460 --> 07:09:03.740 for what their original roster is supposed to be and under the circumstances, I mean they performed 07:09:03.740 --> 07:09:09.420 admirably even in this series, right? Like it wasn't mega close but they've had their moments and 07:09:09.420 --> 07:09:14.860 unfortunately the form of Navi at the moment is going to be very challenging for any team to go up 07:09:14.860 --> 07:09:18.700 against them. It's also the individuals from Navi, right? Because I feel we've been having those 07:09:18.700 --> 07:09:23.020 conversations for a long time that no one is really questioning the system of Navi, the calling from 07:09:23.020 --> 07:09:26.860 from LXB as well, and how well they prepare for games, etc. 07:09:26.860 --> 07:09:30.260 The one big issue that I've had has been finding consistency with Wonderful 07:09:30.260 --> 07:09:33.060 and then activating Mikasa to a level that he's playing at now on. 07:09:33.060 --> 07:09:35.780 In this game, we've got Clemson's Lover as well, Mikasa on Ancient, 07:09:35.780 --> 07:09:37.740 you know, stepped up massively on that CT side. 07:09:37.740 --> 07:09:41.220 You mentioned yourself for your wonderful here on the second map as well, 07:09:41.220 --> 07:09:44.260 you know, being massive in opening duels and just getting the job done. 07:09:44.260 --> 07:09:47.340 So, not only do they have this structure, not only do they have Blade 07:09:47.340 --> 07:09:49.780 and a very clear way of approaching Counter-Strike games, 07:09:49.780 --> 07:09:52.780 but now they also have the individuals in order to 07:09:52.780 --> 07:09:56.620 Sometimes just brute force against opponents, which wasn't the case just half a year ago. 07:09:56.620 --> 07:10:01.540 Which surely makes them still a pretty heavy favourite, moving into the Grand Final tomorrow. 07:10:01.540 --> 07:10:05.020 Without a doubt, you know, we've heard both game a legion players, 07:10:05.020 --> 07:10:10.860 Navi players, all these teams talk about experience and experience of playing on the stage 07:10:10.860 --> 07:10:14.980 and everything and that's where Navi has a big advantage, right, going into tomorrow. 07:10:14.980 --> 07:10:18.460 Especially Grand Final, when we're talking about those. 07:10:18.460 --> 07:10:23.700 I have to remember, this is still four of the five players with the team of their year in 2024, right? 07:10:23.700 --> 07:10:32.220 That won the major in Copenhagen and had a lot of success, so really familiar with this sort of an environment. 07:10:32.620 --> 07:10:37.900 Yeah, I very much agree. It's hard to make a case right now, you know, as to why a game 07:10:37.900 --> 07:10:41.100 where you can shoot walk-ins at that game and expect to win it, but I think the way they've been playing 07:10:41.100 --> 07:10:45.700 so far in this tournament, also being battle-tessers now on the stage a couple of times, 07:10:45.700 --> 07:10:49.460 the way they came back against Legacy today as well and really got the job done in a convincing 07:10:49.460 --> 07:10:53.140 way on the third map as well. I think there's a case to be made for for game leading that 07:10:53.140 --> 07:10:56.340 they're playing the best player in the counter strike. They're having a very long time now. 07:10:56.340 --> 07:11:00.620 Whether that's enough to remain competitive against Navi, I think we have the same scenario 07:11:00.620 --> 07:11:04.020 as I kind of, you know, alluded to earlier today. That depends on Navi. That depends on 07:11:04.020 --> 07:11:07.660 what Navi shows up tomorrow. Because if they're playing like they did today, it's going to 07:11:07.660 --> 07:11:08.660 be incredible tough for game leading. 07:11:08.660 --> 07:11:12.220 And I think when we consider the fact that it's a best of five as well, like the map 07:11:12.220 --> 07:11:16.540 full depth for the game of legion. We've seen evidently that isn't there. That's not to say that 07:11:16.540 --> 07:11:20.780 they can't pull off an upset if they're preparing really hard tonight, but it's going to be a lot 07:11:20.780 --> 07:11:25.260 more leg work for them to be putting in, right? Yeah, but it's not going to be the worst in the 07:11:25.260 --> 07:11:29.900 sense of how they match up against Navi in the best of five, right? Like Navi will get through 07:11:29.900 --> 07:11:35.820 the overpass, which is not something game of legion loved necessarily, and then no dust too for 07:11:35.820 --> 07:11:39.980 game of legion. And then the one clear weakness is probably a newbis, like that's where you give 07:11:39.980 --> 07:11:43.580 a big edge over to the side of Na'Vi, but they will have their chances. 07:11:43.580 --> 07:11:47.140 Angels has been going great for game lead and obviously they beat Na'Vi 13-1 07:11:47.140 --> 07:11:52.700 in that series in the group stage, so we'll see. I think they can make it at least a 07:11:52.700 --> 07:11:55.900 little bit interesting. If we're going to talk about individuals on the side of 07:11:55.900 --> 07:11:58.660 Betboom, obviously we've been talking about the whole situation and the 07:11:58.660 --> 07:12:01.940 stand-ins, just to make the major even work as well. We will be seeing Flamme 07:12:01.940 --> 07:12:05.140 stepping in there. Just from a personal side, I was chatting to him on the media 07:12:05.140 --> 07:12:08.220 day and he was saying, I know that this is a platform obviously to get Betboom 07:12:08.220 --> 07:12:12.460 further and further, but this is also a platform for me to display that I'm still relevant, 07:12:12.460 --> 07:12:17.340 that I'm still incredibly hungry, which by the way he is. So it is a little bit of a shame to see him 07:12:17.340 --> 07:12:21.180 go out with, I guess, a little bit of a whimper, just in terms of that individual form. 07:12:21.180 --> 07:12:26.380 Yeah, it is disappointing also because people are always going to compare us, so in the play 07:12:26.380 --> 07:12:30.140 house is where you dropped off, right? And in the groups it was so strong, but that's also 07:12:30.140 --> 07:12:36.220 somewhat unfair, right? They're playing as a mixed team, more or less, and also you're going up against 07:12:36.220 --> 07:12:42.540 Na'Vi, right, like that it's just going to be more difficult to make plays against the team of that caliber. 07:12:42.540 --> 07:12:46.620 I think he did enough in the group stage to showcase to the rest of the team. 07:12:46.620 --> 07:12:51.340 He did a lot, you know, coming into this game. As I said, he was the fourth highest rated player in the tournament 07:12:51.340 --> 07:12:55.740 and there's no small feat when there's so many world class players showing up. 07:12:55.740 --> 07:13:00.060 So in that regard, sure, it's a bit of a stinger to go out on, but that was as a team, you know, 07:13:00.060 --> 07:13:04.060 that was as a bit boom squad that couldn't really go toe-to-toe with Na'Vi. 07:13:04.060 --> 07:13:07.060 I won't fault Flemish for not having a great show today. 07:13:07.060 --> 07:13:11.560 Well, speaking of the players that did end out on top in this series, it's time to check in with our DHL MVP. 07:13:13.560 --> 07:13:16.060 Who will be the DHL MVP? 07:13:16.060 --> 07:13:17.560 Viewed beside. 07:13:17.560 --> 07:13:22.060 You can participate in the DHL MVP vote as it happens. 07:13:23.060 --> 07:13:27.060 Make sure to be tuned into the Twitch stream and be ready to have your say. 07:13:27.060 --> 07:13:34.820 Yes, once again, an opportunity for you guys at home to have your say down on in the Twitch 07:13:34.820 --> 07:13:35.820 chat. 07:13:35.820 --> 07:13:39.020 We have three options for you to be choosing from right here, right now, and if you're a 07:13:39.020 --> 07:13:42.460 fan of Ancient, I feel like you're probably going to be going with MacArthur Jokin. 07:13:42.460 --> 07:13:47.020 Yeah, he really stepped it up in the second half and had a monstrous round, round 14 on 07:13:47.020 --> 07:13:50.540 Ancient who kind of kickstarted the entirety of Navi's game today. 07:13:50.540 --> 07:13:54.780 So for MacArthur to come in and have a great show on the stage in a semi-final of this 07:13:54.780 --> 07:13:56.460 significance is always going to be great. 07:13:56.460 --> 07:14:00.380 And he is without a doubt becoming more and more the heart and soul of this Na'Vi roster. 07:14:00.380 --> 07:14:03.820 When he's playing well, when he's fired up and when he's involved in a lot of stuff, 07:14:03.820 --> 07:14:05.460 Na'Vi is also a much, much better team. 07:14:05.460 --> 07:14:08.980 You also got another option coming your way, very shortly. 07:14:08.980 --> 07:14:11.780 And it won't be surprised to know that it's another play from Na'Vi. 07:14:11.780 --> 07:14:13.260 This time, it's a bit of it. 07:14:13.260 --> 07:14:15.220 Yeah, doing great work in the series. 07:14:15.220 --> 07:14:18.020 I think honestly you could pick whoever you want from Na'Vi. 07:14:18.020 --> 07:14:23.460 It's more of a flavour thing in the series, you know, it was just between 28 kills and 07:14:23.460 --> 07:14:30.040 33 kills between the lowest and the highest amount three of the players had 32 kills so talk about the team effort and everyone 07:14:30.700 --> 07:14:38.340 Delivering and then pulling their weight. This was a great example of exactly that and then bit had a couple really high impact rounds on you 07:14:38.340 --> 07:14:45.080 Love it when bit reaches this close day our final option for you the third and final that option is for a DHL MVP 07:14:45.080 --> 07:14:47.100 If you like a bit of warping we got wonderful for you 07:14:47.100 --> 07:14:53.080 It's becoming a bit of a trend for for wonderful to be in contention to be the match MVP every time he plays at the moment as we 07:14:53.080 --> 07:14:56.960 he's spoken about, he's found consistency, he's finding more and more impact as well 07:14:56.960 --> 07:14:59.560 and he's finally shown to be the player that we knew he could be. 07:14:59.560 --> 07:15:03.200 I feel like it all kick started during the Budapest Major where he had an amazing tournament 07:15:03.200 --> 07:15:06.880 and a couple of back and forth tournaments but as of late, you know, in particular at 07:15:06.880 --> 07:15:11.560 this very tournament, he's not only the DHL MVP lead candidate in this game but also for 07:15:11.560 --> 07:15:13.200 the MVP of the entire tournament. 07:15:13.200 --> 07:15:15.800 Would you agree with that sentiment Janko, he's leaving the charge right now? 07:15:15.800 --> 07:15:18.200 Yeah, I think so, you have to look at that. 07:15:18.200 --> 07:15:27.200 You almost want to weigh more the quarter-final than the final for that MVP because of how important it was for Navi to be able to beat Vitality. 07:15:27.200 --> 07:15:37.200 But we'll see. He's been having a great tournament and yeah, one of the reasons, like we said, that Navi has had this uptick in form in the last few months. 07:15:37.200 --> 07:15:41.200 Well, with Navi Poreling, that doesn't mean that Bermont do fall here in the semifinal. 07:15:41.200 --> 07:15:44.200 So let's get a few closing thoughts, Karzy Absorty. 07:15:44.200 --> 07:15:50.920 Thank you Zorta for the interview, I'm sorry about the loss obviously, but is it too hard 07:15:50.920 --> 07:15:51.920 to put into words what just happened? 07:15:51.920 --> 07:15:57.560 It feels like you got pretty outclassed by them, if I say so. 07:15:57.560 --> 07:16:03.000 Actually it's not a hard loss, I mean before the tournament we didn't have such high expectations, 07:16:03.000 --> 07:16:08.600 we just decided just to play the game, to try to have the best performance as much as 07:16:08.600 --> 07:16:09.600 we could. 07:16:09.600 --> 07:16:17.040 I think now I feel that we just have not enough experience, you know, like we're playing but 07:16:17.040 --> 07:16:21.680 some situations that just like we have a better communication in some round and the game just 07:16:21.680 --> 07:16:28.160 lost, for example in Ancient, there are lots of round here and actually it's not tough but 07:16:29.440 --> 07:16:34.800 before this game it's felt that we're capable to do that but in reality not. 07:16:34.800 --> 07:16:41.800 In some games you've shown A-game and you were kind of owning as well, whatever opponent you were facing. 07:16:41.800 --> 07:16:47.800 And Flamens actually told me before the match that if you're going to play that game, you can beat anyone. 07:16:47.800 --> 07:16:53.800 But I think it was pretty clear coming into the ancient as well after pretty good start, this is not your A-game. 07:16:53.800 --> 07:16:55.800 Is it correct assumption? 07:16:55.800 --> 07:16:59.800 Yeah, it's correct. I think we have enough individual level to compete. 07:16:59.800 --> 07:17:09.800 But I think we just have a lot of gaps in our strategies and how we understand the game and how we play under the pressure, you know? 07:17:09.800 --> 07:17:26.800 Because in some moments maybe it's just like we are mixed and we just lack of strat-book tactics and it's hard because we had to prepare something just like to, I don't know, mix our rounds. 07:17:26.800 --> 07:17:39.800 It's really hard because we just have some habits inside the game, we just have to do the straight line and actually I feel it because they did prepare it and I feel it. 07:17:39.800 --> 07:17:50.800 It's also hard to perform individually if you have this kind of a puggy style that you're going for and I can talk about you specifically, ancient, pretty good even though that's not known for all pink paradise. 07:17:50.800 --> 07:17:54.800 But then on Nuke you were struggling, so do you feel these kind of inconsistencies in your own game? 07:17:54.800 --> 07:18:03.400 I feel like it just depends on the map, because on Nuke I had one duel and that's it, one on nine. 07:18:03.400 --> 07:18:10.700 So basically it didn't disturb me in bothering, I just feel that we go to the city and if we had a good start, 07:18:10.700 --> 07:18:14.200 maybe we can snowballing them and maybe it will be good. 07:18:14.200 --> 07:18:17.600 But unfortunately it's not, but I don't know. 07:18:17.600 --> 07:18:22.400 I just feel that I have enough experience in the division level to compete. 07:18:22.400 --> 07:18:29.000 It's really important for me, because this tournament is important for Na'Vi too. 07:18:29.000 --> 07:18:36.200 I just played this game and I didn't feel that I had some experience or an individual. 07:18:36.200 --> 07:18:45.000 I clearly understand everything, but there are some moments in communication that just outplayed us as a team. 07:18:45.000 --> 07:18:48.800 Obviously, you're not out of the tournament, you're out of the contention for the trophy. 07:18:48.800 --> 07:18:52.240 Tomorrow is a third place decider. Excited for at least that one. 07:18:52.240 --> 07:18:56.000 How much does it affect you as a player that you still have to go for this third place decider? 07:18:56.880 --> 07:19:03.120 I don't know, third place. It's kind of awkward for me to be sure, but I think it's just important for 07:19:03.120 --> 07:19:08.720 Bad Boom because it's like points and everything and stuff. And I think it's just one more game for 07:19:09.280 --> 07:19:16.480 Flamos, for example. It was the first game in front of the crowd and it just 07:19:16.480 --> 07:19:20.480 I think it's a good experience and it will be fun. 07:19:20.480 --> 07:19:26.480 You need those experiences especially ahead of the Major, but thank you and good luck tomorrow in the third place this season. 07:19:27.480 --> 07:19:32.480 I very much appreciate Zulte's honesty in that one. I totally agree with his first answer as well. 07:19:32.480 --> 07:19:36.480 The fact that making it to top four is an achievement in itself, something they should be so proud of. 07:19:36.480 --> 07:19:40.480 And then you add on, it took Ambatali on the road here. 07:19:40.480 --> 07:19:43.480 That's also something that not many teams can say they've done this year. 07:19:43.480 --> 07:19:48.160 Now there's something they should be proud of and I think he's right when saying that it wasn't lack of experience today 07:19:48.160 --> 07:19:52.560 They just faced a much much better team and there's only so much you can do if you're if you're bedroom 07:19:52.960 --> 07:19:56.780 One thing is is beating vitality and I very much agree with that and people will say well 07:19:56.780 --> 07:19:59.480 It was a vitality without practice group stage game seeding game 07:19:59.480 --> 07:20:03.460 What not but at the end of the day the points don't lie in terms of the VIS ranking 07:20:03.460 --> 07:20:06.840 They're getting from beating vitality and from potentially beating legacy tomorrow as well 07:20:06.840 --> 07:20:09.560 Just looking at it right now if they stand to winning its legacy 07:20:09.560 --> 07:20:14.480 They get another 32 points to the name and we're talking about a bit boom that is desperately needing to get into more 07:20:14.480 --> 07:20:17.080 Tier 1 tournaments and get invited into more of the bigger ones 07:20:17.080 --> 07:20:21.120 So if anything sure playing a third place designer may not be the most sexy thing 07:20:21.120 --> 07:20:24.880 But there's a lot of points on the grasp and that could help them for the second part of the season 07:20:25.080 --> 07:20:26.440 You can put it this way 07:20:26.440 --> 07:20:29.960 Pat Koum had their full lineup and a month-long boot camp before this event 07:20:29.960 --> 07:20:33.720 You still wouldn't have to make top four so this event is a resounding success for them 07:20:33.720 --> 07:20:38.440 And regardless of what happens in the third place desire they can go back home with their heads held high 07:20:38.440 --> 07:20:42.160 100% and in Zorte also saying Flammeus not having that much experience playing on stage 07:20:42.160 --> 07:20:44.680 He's going to take these opportunities when you present them to themselves 07:20:44.920 --> 07:20:49.820 They're beginning in stage one at the major as well just in terms of some of the other teams that we're seeing them there 07:20:49.820 --> 07:20:53.480 Has this put them maybe up when your estimation moving into the major anchor? 07:20:53.480 --> 07:20:58.640 I think it's going to be a matter of sort of on the day which bad boom you get like on a good day 07:20:58.640 --> 07:21:00.640 They can definitely make it into stage two 07:21:00.680 --> 07:21:04.440 They played better counter strike here than some of the teams that are going to be there 07:21:04.440 --> 07:21:10.240 but also catch them on an off day, like we can see some of the lack of coordination that you get from being on 07:21:10.240 --> 07:21:14.720 They still don't know they're gonna have to play with flamos or dillard is like they're still waiting to see if he's gonna get a visa 07:21:14.720 --> 07:21:18.760 So all of that is going to make it sort of awkward for them going into the tournament 07:21:18.760 --> 07:21:21.840 What we do know is exactly what happens in the playoffs bracket 07:21:21.840 --> 07:21:25.840 We can check on in with that to see exactly what happened earlier on today if you missed out on that 07:21:25.840 --> 07:21:31.880 That was game legion versus legacy Pimp you weren't up here for that one any takeaways from I imagine watching that back at the hotel 07:21:31.880 --> 07:21:37.600 Yeah, I'm just just happy to turn your bike. Yeah, I'm just happy to see gamer Legion continue to play well 07:21:37.600 --> 07:21:41.080 I think they've had a great tournament so far. It was in a game. They played they've been competitive 07:21:41.080 --> 07:21:45.240 I know a lot of close games, you know the two one versus pain gaming the two one versus legacy 07:21:45.240 --> 07:21:49.000 The one lost the hand in this tournament was against Navi in a very competitive series as well 07:21:49.000 --> 07:21:54.000 So they get to produce a bad game of Counter-Strike and I hope they continue with that tomorrow to play well 07:21:54.000 --> 07:21:58.440 So we get a competitive final we can also bring up the schedule to see exactly what is on the cards for tomorrow 07:21:58.440 --> 07:22:02.040 going to be starting a little 07:22:02.040 --> 07:22:03.040 bit earlier than the usual 07:22:03.040 --> 07:22:04.540 playoffs matches for that third 07:22:04.540 --> 07:22:06.340 place decided between that boom 07:22:06.340 --> 07:22:07.540 and of course legacy and then 07:22:07.540 --> 07:22:08.940 beginning at quarter past two 07:22:08.940 --> 07:22:09.840 if you're joining us in the 07:22:09.840 --> 07:22:11.040 American time zone, that's going 07:22:11.040 --> 07:22:13.040 to be Navi versus game Legion in 07:22:13.040 --> 07:22:15.040 a best of five grand finals. I 07:22:15.040 --> 07:22:16.040 think all is left to do is say 07:22:16.040 --> 07:22:17.040 thank you gentlemen. Thank you 07:22:17.040 --> 07:22:18.540 to everybody who joined us at 07:22:18.540 --> 07:22:20.340 home and also in the venue will 07:22:20.340 --> 07:22:21.540 see you tomorrow for the 07:22:21.540 --> 07:22:23.540 of 2026. 07:22:51.540 --> 07:22:54.360 There's no stop at all 07:22:54.360 --> 07:22:57.360 I can't hold it down and dance 07:22:57.360 --> 07:23:00.240 It's no one better than 07:23:00.240 --> 07:23:01.240 It's no one better than 07:23:01.240 --> 07:23:04.240 Gonna be Lato in quiet the whole time in the semi-final 07:23:04.240 --> 07:23:06.740 But this would be a great time to get loud 07:23:06.740 --> 07:23:09.240 He's got himself a second chance, he reached next 07:23:09.240 --> 07:23:12.240 And now suddenly a 1v1 for Lato 07:23:12.240 --> 07:23:16.240 We are in the open and Lato's done it 07:23:16.240 --> 07:23:18.740 Gonna lie down in the sun and stay 07:23:18.740 --> 07:23:21.940 No, it's Rez, such a good man on end. 07:23:21.940 --> 07:23:24.780 Rez looking for the clutch. 07:23:24.780 --> 07:23:26.500 They're coming out of it, Rez. 07:23:26.500 --> 07:23:28.060 That first head shot's so good. 07:23:28.060 --> 07:23:30.900 It's now just two now, and Rez back in America, 07:23:30.900 --> 07:23:32.980 playing the best counter strike he can. 07:23:32.980 --> 07:23:36.380 And Rez has taken game religion to math point 07:23:36.380 --> 07:23:38.780 in the semifinal. 07:23:38.780 --> 07:23:39.980 Everything has worked out. 07:23:39.980 --> 07:23:44.980 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 07:23:44.980 --> 07:23:46.980 I can't wait to try to start this 07:23:47.980 --> 07:23:49.980 There's no one better 07:23:50.980 --> 07:23:52.980 Cause we live for the moment 07:23:53.980 --> 07:23:55.980 The smoke, the Majorna pole 07:23:55.980 --> 07:23:57.980 Picks him to a laxity, nails it 07:23:57.980 --> 07:23:59.980 Okay, and pull it from the captain 07:24:00.980 --> 07:24:02.980 No one ever pray 07:24:02.980 --> 07:24:04.980 Cause we live for the moment 07:24:05.980 --> 07:24:08.980 Making moves straight to the top 07:24:08.980 --> 07:24:10.980 Just getting started 07:24:10.980 --> 07:24:15.980 His undemolated trade does connect and the flag's been also been there like... 07:24:15.980 --> 07:24:16.980 I'm the Ice Age! 07:24:16.980 --> 07:24:17.980 Hey! 07:24:17.980 --> 07:24:19.980 I'm the Ice Age! 07:24:19.980 --> 07:24:21.980 I'm the Ice Age! 07:24:21.980 --> 07:24:23.980 I'm the Ice Age! 07:24:23.980 --> 07:24:25.980 I'm the Ice Age! 07:24:25.980 --> 07:24:29.980 It's perfectly precision, so casual with the brakes! 07:24:29.980 --> 07:24:31.980 I'm the Ice Age! 07:24:31.980 --> 07:24:32.980 I'm taking it all! 07:24:32.980 --> 07:24:36.980 13-6 and now they, they have taken care of business! 07:24:36.980 --> 07:24:39.980 We're going on the same! 07:24:39.980 --> 07:24:57.660 One, two, three, thank you. 07:24:57.660 --> 07:25:07.460 The Intel Extreme Masters Atlanta 2026 is brought to you by ESL in partnership with Intel. 07:25:07.460 --> 07:25:18.460 Acer Predator, DHL, Chex, and Zoe. 07:25:37.460 --> 07:25:47.460 Rafa, really making history.
