WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:28.660
Music

00:58.660 --> 01:00.660
That's it, guys!

01:00.660 --> 01:02.660
But this is a concert?

01:02.660 --> 01:04.660
Oh, wait...

01:04.660 --> 01:06.660
This is a concert!

01:06.660 --> 01:08.660
That's it, right?

01:08.660 --> 01:10.660
Yeah, right!

01:10.660 --> 01:12.660
You know what?

01:12.660 --> 01:14.660
This is a concert!

01:14.660 --> 01:16.660
You know what?

01:16.660 --> 01:18.660
This is a concert!

01:18.660 --> 01:20.660
Yeah, right!

01:20.660 --> 01:22.660
But if you're not gonna get it,

01:22.660 --> 01:24.660
I'll get it!

01:24.660 --> 01:26.660
You know what?

01:26.660 --> 01:28.660
This is what we call a good song!

01:29.660 --> 01:31.660
Let's go!

01:32.660 --> 01:36.660
He's going, he's going, he's going, he's going

01:37.660 --> 01:41.660
But if I hit the chest, he's going to break the hand's leg

01:42.660 --> 01:44.660
He's going, he's going, he's going, he's going

01:45.660 --> 01:48.660
But if I hit the chest, he's going to break the hand's leg

01:49.660 --> 01:53.660
It's fried with the same fish oil, look at the f**king face, right?

01:53.660 --> 01:55.660
I'm dancing to the chorus

01:55.660 --> 01:57.660
Tell me if that's what you want

01:57.660 --> 01:59.660
To fly from the sky and have to swear

01:59.660 --> 02:01.660
I'm asking you to come to me

02:01.660 --> 02:03.660
Screaming the confusion

02:03.660 --> 02:04.660
Screaming the confusion

02:04.660 --> 02:06.660
Because if he goes

02:06.660 --> 02:08.660
You'll see if he doesn't go

02:08.660 --> 02:09.660
You'll see

02:09.660 --> 02:11.660
But if he goes

02:11.660 --> 02:13.660
You'll see if he goes

02:13.660 --> 02:14.660
You'll see

02:14.660 --> 02:15.660
But if he goes

02:15.660 --> 02:17.660
You'll see

02:17.660 --> 02:18.660
But if he goes

02:18.660 --> 02:19.660
You'll see

02:19.660 --> 02:21.660
But if he goes

02:21.660 --> 02:23.660
Red and blue in the same eye

02:23.660 --> 02:25.660
Without entering, only the tail, right?

02:25.660 --> 02:27.660
A vision of the longitude

02:27.660 --> 02:29.660
That confusion doesn't want anymore

02:29.660 --> 02:31.160
This is for the dignity, rest

02:31.160 --> 02:33.160
Scratching but the heart is missing here

02:33.160 --> 02:35.160
Grow and making the protection

02:35.160 --> 02:37.160
This is rare, but of course it's happening

02:37.160 --> 02:39.160
He goes, the abyss

02:39.160 --> 02:41.160
He goes, the abyss

02:41.160 --> 02:43.160
But who's saving the abyss

02:43.160 --> 02:45.160
Equipment in the abyss of the palm of his hand

02:45.160 --> 02:47.160
He goes, the abyss

02:47.160 --> 02:49.160
He goes, the abyss

02:49.160 --> 02:51.160
But what's the point of this?

02:51.160 --> 02:53.160
It's that under the verse of the Lord God

02:53.160 --> 02:56.160
But the contrary is irony

02:56.160 --> 02:58.160
And these sarcastrums are contradiction

02:58.160 --> 03:00.160
This might of everything is done

03:00.160 --> 03:02.160
The will of the verse of the no

03:02.160 --> 03:04.160
But the contrary is irony

03:04.160 --> 03:06.160
And these sarcastrums are contradiction

03:06.160 --> 03:08.160
This might of everything is done

03:08.160 --> 03:10.160
The will of the verse of the no

03:12.160 --> 03:16.160
Leave me, it's time to wrap up

04:46.160 --> 04:50.160
It's wonderful, guys!

04:50.160 --> 04:54.160
The whole business is at the corner, after all the work, after the director!

04:54.160 --> 04:57.160
This is pure jazzy soccer!

04:57.160 --> 05:01.160
It's wonderful!

05:46.160 --> 05:48.160
I see your face on the street

05:48.160 --> 05:50.160
In the coffee shop where I met you

05:50.160 --> 05:52.160
I ask you to come back to me

05:52.160 --> 05:54.160
I don't want to retire

05:54.160 --> 05:56.160
Mina

05:56.160 --> 05:58.160
Our love is worth it

05:58.160 --> 06:00.160
Mina

06:02.160 --> 06:04.160
Mina

06:04.160 --> 06:06.160
I will never give you

06:06.160 --> 06:08.160
Mina

06:08.160 --> 06:10.160
Mina

06:10.160 --> 06:12.160
Our love is worth it

06:12.160 --> 06:14.160
Mina

06:16.160 --> 06:21.160
Mena, mi amor caliente es tu hundera

06:21.160 --> 06:24.160
Oh, yeah

06:38.160 --> 06:41.160
Yo sé que hay tiempo para construir

06:41.160 --> 06:45.160
Lo que hemos soñado, yo lo veo venir

06:45.160 --> 06:48.780
Mira que tu ausencia me hizo comprender

06:48.780 --> 06:52.420
Y ordeno, juro, no te voy a perder

06:52.420 --> 06:56.300
Veo tu rostro en la calle, en el café donde te conocí

06:56.300 --> 06:59.580
Le pido a Dios que regreses a mí, ya no me quiero rendir

06:59.580 --> 07:03.680
Eh, veo tu rostro en la calle, en el café donde te conocí

07:03.680 --> 07:06.980
Le pido a Dios que regreses a mí, ya no me quiero rendir

07:06.980 --> 07:12.740
Nena, nuestro amor vale la pena

07:12.740 --> 07:15.140
Fira, Fira, Fira

07:15.140 --> 07:20.220
Nena, el amor caliente es tu convena

07:20.220 --> 07:22.420
Y veo, Tiro, Tiro

07:22.420 --> 07:24.780
Cuando llego a la casa todo se desplaza el amor

07:24.780 --> 07:26.300
Nos abraza una piña cola

07:26.300 --> 07:28.100
La playa la brisa caribe el amor

07:28.100 --> 07:29.980
Bailando sintiendo todo nuestro amor

07:29.980 --> 07:31.820
Junto aquí estamos desde Venezuela

07:31.820 --> 07:34.500
Es inevitable el amor que nos quema

07:34.500 --> 07:35.540
Me derrito por ti

07:35.540 --> 07:37.540
Now I want to be inside you

08:05.540 --> 08:09.540
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

08:35.540 --> 08:37.540
I

12:05.540 --> 12:09.540
The beauty is natural

12:10.540 --> 12:15.540
The joy that today is Carnaval

12:17.540 --> 12:24.540
I'm going to Rio with the panda and the tambourine

12:25.540 --> 12:32.540
I saw the fantasy, I was going to live in it

12:32.540 --> 12:40.540
Result for life, for love, and for peace.

12:40.540 --> 12:47.540
Today is a lively party, never again.

12:47.540 --> 12:54.540
Wake up and run to see, the human color.

12:54.540 --> 12:58.540
The sun is shining on you.

12:58.540 --> 13:02.540
It's going to shine.

13:02.540 --> 13:06.540
Wake up and run to see.

13:06.540 --> 13:10.540
Wake up with the sea.

13:10.540 --> 13:14.540
The sun is shining on you.

13:14.540 --> 13:17.540
It's going to shine.

13:17.540 --> 13:22.540
Let's go to the sea.

13:52.540 --> 13:54.540
The color of the sea

13:56.540 --> 13:59.540
The sun is about to rise

14:00.540 --> 14:02.540
It's going to shine

14:04.540 --> 14:06.540
The color is running to see

14:08.540 --> 14:10.540
The color of the sea

14:12.540 --> 14:14.540
The sun is about to rise

14:15.540 --> 14:17.540
It's going to shine

14:17.540 --> 14:22.540
Come on, Samar!

14:26.540 --> 14:29.540
Come on, Samar!

14:34.540 --> 14:38.540
Come on, Samar!

14:42.540 --> 14:45.540
Come on, Samar!

17:47.540 --> 17:49.540
I

18:47.540 --> 18:52.540
You can tell anyone for singing

18:52.540 --> 18:56.540
All in our food and ourselves

18:56.540 --> 19:01.540
You can tell anyone for singing

19:01.540 --> 19:07.540
You can tell anyone for singing

19:07.540 --> 19:09.540
So I'm gonna go

19:20.540 --> 19:22.540
I'm stuck

19:31.540 --> 19:33.540
I'm gonna go

19:33.540 --> 19:35.540
I'm stuck

19:37.540 --> 19:39.540
I

20:37.540 --> 20:39.540
I

24:07.540 --> 24:31.300
We don't play no games right here We ain't never slipping right here

24:31.300 --> 24:34.300
This another level, this one over here is Ray Ray

24:34.300 --> 24:37.300
We don't do no talking right

24:37.300 --> 24:40.300
We don't play no games right

24:40.300 --> 24:42.300
We ain't never sticking around, yeah

24:42.300 --> 24:45.300
This another level, this one over here is Ray Ray

24:47.300 --> 24:50.300
Riding on this gang can have me feeding like I'm Fred Astaire

24:50.300 --> 24:53.300
Bruh, I was kinda sure but I was smelling like a millionaire

24:53.300 --> 24:56.300
Claim that opposition will be stepping, they were running scared

24:56.300 --> 24:58.300
Man, we're loud enough that I was scared

24:58.300 --> 25:00.900
It's fair to us trying, trying, hitting us, can't you, can't you?

25:00.900 --> 25:04.300
I just let a fan in, he came in canny, I'm up in the air

25:04.300 --> 25:07.300
I was in the clouds, I don't ever take the stairs

25:07.300 --> 25:10.300
We don't do no talking round here

25:10.300 --> 25:13.300
We don't play no games round here

25:13.300 --> 25:15.300
We ain't never sleeping round here

25:15.300 --> 25:18.300
This another level, this one over here is very rare

25:18.300 --> 25:21.300
We don't do no talking round here

25:21.300 --> 25:24.300
We don't play no games round here

25:24.300 --> 25:26.300
We ain't never sleeping round here

25:26.300 --> 25:29.300
It's another level, this one over here is red and red

25:31.800 --> 25:34.800
It's another level, this one over here is red and red

25:42.800 --> 25:45.800
It's another level, this one over here is red and red

25:56.300 --> 26:15.820
I was in the corner sweating till the lights came

26:15.820 --> 26:19.100
I don't ever see you step out on this nitrene ride brim

26:19.100 --> 26:21.340
I will blow your mind like I'm migraine

26:21.340 --> 26:24.220
I was bossing out these spots pulling something out my socks

26:24.220 --> 26:26.940
I was huffing out of blocks on the vibrate

26:26.940 --> 26:29.660
I don't need to talk to Frank, I did it my way

26:29.660 --> 26:32.380
Never sleepin', never trippin', never violate it

26:32.380 --> 26:35.420
We don't gas around here, we on the higher eight

26:35.420 --> 26:38.220
We don't do no talkin' round here

26:38.220 --> 26:40.940
We don't play no games round here

26:40.940 --> 26:43.020
We ain't never sleepin' round here

26:43.020 --> 26:46.460
This another level, this one over here is red red

26:46.460 --> 26:49.180
We don't do no talkin' round here

26:49.180 --> 26:51.980
We don't play no games round here

26:51.980 --> 26:53.980
We ain't never sleepin' round here

26:53.980 --> 26:56.980
This another level, this one over here is really rare

27:53.980 --> 27:55.980
I

28:23.980 --> 28:25.980
I

30:53.980 --> 31:00.980
Rafa, really making history. Absolutely phenomenal.

31:00.980 --> 31:06.980
The NA's is the champion of the NFL extreme map world finals.

31:06.980 --> 31:08.980
Still not quite done yet.

31:08.980 --> 31:11.980
Z is gonna take this fight though. Three seconds left.

31:11.980 --> 31:15.980
Oh, that's too wrapped up. It's gonna start it, but I'm free to say.

31:15.980 --> 31:17.980
Well, this is a massive move for Z.

31:17.980 --> 31:20.980
But he's gonna put tech with just the nexus kill.

31:20.980 --> 31:24.060
He was the captain of the G-Team!

31:24.060 --> 31:25.220
And it's all done!

31:25.220 --> 31:26.700
I'm truly blessed!

31:27.820 --> 31:29.500
Unbelievable love,

31:29.500 --> 31:33.140
when they force your victory over classes.

31:33.140 --> 31:34.500
And they did it again!

31:34.500 --> 31:36.380
In the last battle,

31:36.380 --> 31:38.380
it's time for you!

31:41.100 --> 31:42.820
Give it up for your angel,

31:42.820 --> 31:44.540
Extreme Masters,

31:44.540 --> 31:47.540
World Champion!

31:50.980 --> 32:10.500
The Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2026 is brought to you by ESL and partnership with Intel,

32:10.500 --> 32:11.500
Acer Predator,

32:13.940 --> 32:14.940
Jax,

32:17.740 --> 32:18.740
and DHL.

32:23.660 --> 32:24.780
Good afternoon, gamers.

32:24.780 --> 32:27.340
We have one more day of the B stream

32:27.340 --> 32:29.300
at Intel Extreme Masters Rear.

32:29.300 --> 32:31.260
Maybe more standoffs like that

32:31.260 --> 32:33.740
to come later on in the broadcasts.

32:33.740 --> 32:36.140
The fight for the FAMASI arena is on.

32:36.140 --> 32:38.340
We've already got four teams confirmed,

32:38.340 --> 32:40.540
and this little bracket is about to eliminate a few more.

32:42.140 --> 32:43.340
It's been a gruelling run.

32:43.340 --> 32:45.940
We've had a couple teams already exit the competition

32:45.940 --> 32:49.140
and we will bid farewell to a few more here today.

32:49.140 --> 32:52.740
Maybe some surprises that have caught us off guard a little bit.

32:52.740 --> 32:55.740
We've got some fantastic games lined up here

32:55.740 --> 32:58.740
to round out the B-stream for IEM Rio.

32:58.740 --> 32:59.740
Yes, super excited.

32:59.740 --> 33:02.540
I mean, some players that we've followed for a very, very long time

33:02.540 --> 33:04.140
in Red Cannes, of course,

33:04.140 --> 33:06.340
and then some of the players on Spirit

33:06.340 --> 33:10.580
We've known for a long time from their very first forays into professional counter strike

33:11.140 --> 33:17.300
In their academy roster, but now of course they are world superstars of counter strike. So we're looking forward to it

33:17.300 --> 33:22.980
But red canids. I mean I feel for them. They will have played both vitality and spirit at this tournament. How about that?

33:23.860 --> 33:30.100
Yeah, welcome to the big leagues, Mr. Rents, who of course, this is his first S tier event only his second land throughout his entire

33:30.420 --> 33:36.100
Infant career and he really has been thrown straight into the furnace. So, uh, yeah, we'll see if he's fine

33:36.340 --> 33:40.020
able to find a way to make it work. But ultimately, I mean, it's all about the experience, right?

33:40.020 --> 33:42.500
And this is hope that they don't go out with the wimper.

33:42.500 --> 33:46.580
Yeah, indeed. We come look at the brackets and see exactly where we are at at the moment. Of

33:46.580 --> 33:51.940
course, it's the group A upper bracket. We saw the obvious win for Vitality, but then the real tough

33:51.940 --> 33:57.860
test for Vitality against a hunterless G2, who would have thought that that particular edition

33:57.860 --> 34:03.700
of G2 with tax standing in from their Academy would have pushed Vitality that damn hard all the way

34:03.700 --> 34:07.860
to the end of regulation on map 3. Incredibly impressive.

34:07.860 --> 34:10.820
And then Spirit, who we're about to see coming in here,

34:10.820 --> 34:13.940
got getting absolutely obliterated by Falcons.

34:13.940 --> 34:15.700
So we've got two teams already confirmed

34:15.700 --> 34:18.540
for the Final Fantasy Arena in the upper bracket.

34:18.540 --> 34:21.700
And now, Spirit has to fight for their life.

34:21.700 --> 34:26.620
Falcons continue to own Spirit, so long as it's not at the major,

34:26.620 --> 34:29.620
which was like the most important of all the series.

34:29.620 --> 34:32.060
They played against each other, and that was the one where Team Spirit,

34:32.060 --> 34:38.340
or, shall I say, Zwei was really able to upheaval of Falcons on that occasion. But, yeah, that

34:38.340 --> 34:43.140
game yesterday was just a really good look for Falcons. Since they got that one over

34:43.140 --> 34:46.740
3D Max, they came back on map one, they just haven't looked back since.

34:46.740 --> 34:50.380
I mean, yeah, they've been lost any rounds, right? It was nine rounds in that series.

34:50.380 --> 34:51.380
Exactly.

34:51.380 --> 34:55.940
And it's that nine-three deficit to 3D Max. It's been an absolute destruction for them.

34:55.940 --> 34:59.900
And everyone is standing in their path at all. Here is Group B, which of course we focused

34:59.900 --> 35:02.100
I'm glad that they're here.

35:02.100 --> 35:03.000
They're here. So we're going to

35:03.000 --> 35:04.900
play with them. We've been

35:04.900 --> 35:06.900
focused on a lot on this be

35:06.900 --> 35:08.900
stream over the course of the

35:08.900 --> 35:09.900
event so far, Aurora having a

35:09.900 --> 35:11.900
little bit of a test against

35:11.900 --> 35:13.900
hard to on map to not looking

35:13.900 --> 35:15.900
entirely clean. And that is why.

35:15.900 --> 35:16.900
For me, miles managed to take

35:16.900 --> 35:19.900
them down so comfortably late

35:19.900 --> 35:20.900
last night. Furia guaranteed to

35:20.900 --> 35:22.900
play in the arena. They all do

35:22.900 --> 35:23.900
battle with mouths later on to

35:23.900 --> 35:24.900
find out who goes through the

35:24.900 --> 35:26.900
semis and who has to make do

35:26.900 --> 35:27.900
with the quarter finals. I'm

35:27.900 --> 35:28.900
really excited to see how

35:28.900 --> 35:34.580
to them playing from the home crowd. And it always seems like they ramp up when Rio comes around.

35:35.220 --> 35:39.540
I mean, as we even saw in that interview from Kcerata, how he mentioned that a Brazilian team

35:39.540 --> 35:44.020
has never won at a Rio event either, right? And they're hoping that maybe they can be the team

35:44.020 --> 35:49.540
to buck that trend legacy out of contention. Red Cannons need to beat spirit here today and then

35:49.540 --> 35:54.580
try and win another game later on down the line to get there. So at least Furia, the most expected

35:54.580 --> 35:57.780
team to actually make a run have gotten themselves into the arena already.

35:57.780 --> 35:59.780
I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

35:59.880 --> 36:02.680
Here's our schedule for the

36:02.780 --> 36:03.680
afternoon on our big stream.

36:03.780 --> 36:05.680
Red cannons versus spirit to

36:05.780 --> 36:06.680
come. Now you think that would

36:06.780 --> 36:07.680
be a stomp, but you never know.

36:07.780 --> 36:09.680
Langton can't strike can

36:09.780 --> 36:10.680
provide some crazy. We know

36:10.780 --> 36:12.680
surely know surely we know, but

36:12.780 --> 36:13.680
it's applying at home hometown

36:13.780 --> 36:15.680
buff. I'm kidding. It should be

36:15.780 --> 36:17.680
a stomp Aurora versus bait to

36:17.780 --> 36:18.680
come after that. That one could

36:18.780 --> 36:20.680
be a little bit more shaky for

36:20.780 --> 36:21.680
Aurora because they're not

36:21.780 --> 36:22.680
really been the Aurora we kind

36:22.780 --> 36:24.680
of know at this event. Of

36:24.780 --> 36:25.680
course, we know Zantara's is

36:25.780 --> 36:26.680
being troubled by that hand

36:26.680 --> 36:30.620
the team. They're going to be

36:30.620 --> 36:32.620
on the ground. They're going to

36:32.620 --> 36:33.620
get hamperd by that. Um and

36:33.620 --> 36:35.620
baked have the ability to punch

36:35.620 --> 36:36.620
up to some of these teams at

36:36.620 --> 36:37.620
this level when they're when

36:37.620 --> 36:38.620
they're feeling it, right? So

36:38.620 --> 36:40.660
up to see how that goes. Also

36:40.660 --> 36:42.660
have nothing to lose. Do bait

36:42.660 --> 36:44.660
there. The big underdogs either

36:44.660 --> 36:45.660
way more on that later. That

36:45.660 --> 36:46.660
will be the next game we cover

36:46.660 --> 36:48.660
here on this stream. It is, of

36:48.660 --> 36:50.660
course, Spirit versus red can as

36:50.660 --> 36:52.660
we can zero in our focus on

36:52.660 --> 36:54.660
that particular game. Spirit

36:54.660 --> 36:55.660
find themselves in the lower

36:55.660 --> 36:57.760
what a transpired yesterday with him

36:57.760 --> 37:01.560
posting his lowest rating of his career so far.

37:01.560 --> 37:03.560
And that's a really scary prospect for Red Cannons

37:03.560 --> 37:06.260
that he's going to be taking his anger out on them.

37:06.260 --> 37:07.560
Absolutely, right?

37:07.560 --> 37:09.460
It's a weird state for spirit.

37:09.460 --> 37:13.660
It goes without saying they house one of the most naturally gifted players of all time.

37:13.660 --> 37:15.760
If it's not a team effort, it doesn't work, right?

37:15.760 --> 37:19.360
And very clearly, things aren't really working all too well for them right now.

37:19.360 --> 37:22.760
I thought at the time that getting Zontik's back and moving Teneir around

37:22.760 --> 37:27.320
putting magic system game leader wasn't something I was against of what whatsoever, but they

37:27.320 --> 37:31.000
just haven't been ready yet and they've been really, really inconsistent and even Donk

37:31.000 --> 37:35.920
has been inconsistent as well. That 0.3 rating, as you say, is the lowest of his career. And

37:35.920 --> 37:42.600
look, every great player has an off day. Recently, the entirety of Spirit are having more off

37:42.600 --> 37:44.120
days than they would want.

37:44.120 --> 37:48.120
I mean, it's just proof that it's taken us a long time, but it's proof that Donk is

37:48.120 --> 37:52.920
also human. We first thought it was this lab specimen that could never actually fail and

37:52.920 --> 37:57.880
have an off day. But finally, with the sample size of a year and a half at the highest level

37:57.880 --> 38:02.680
of the game, we now do get to see even longer than that, two years at the highest level.

38:02.680 --> 38:08.000
We get to see that, yeah, okay. Donk can also have a game where he disappears and obviously

38:08.000 --> 38:12.600
like you kind of highlight, maybe it's a systemic issue, you know, broader problem than just

38:12.600 --> 38:13.600
Donk himself.

38:13.600 --> 38:17.720
Yeah, and Ren too, of course. We'll have a quick conversation about him yesterday. We've

38:17.720 --> 38:18.720
have had two great interviews

38:18.720 --> 38:21.420
with him at this event, one with us and one with Harry.

38:21.420 --> 38:25.920
I mean, it's actually crazy that he made his HLTV debut

38:25.920 --> 38:28.320
in 2026 at the beginning of the year.

38:28.320 --> 38:30.660
He only played CCT with a mixed team.

38:30.660 --> 38:32.360
He played a couple of those smaller events

38:32.360 --> 38:33.960
with Red Cannons Academy.

38:33.960 --> 38:35.640
All of a sudden, he's on the main team

38:35.640 --> 38:38.640
and he's debuted at his first S tier tournament

38:38.640 --> 38:41.400
playing both Zai Wu and Donk.

38:41.400 --> 38:43.240
Incredible.

38:43.240 --> 38:45.800
I mean, that's one way to rack them up, right?

38:45.800 --> 38:49.340
some big names that he gets to go against on the server.

38:49.340 --> 38:51.200
As we get a look at the veto here, Trav,

38:51.200 --> 38:53.160
it's going to be Mirage picked by Red Cannons.

38:53.160 --> 38:56.400
It's the map we saw them pick yesterday against Gentlemates.

38:56.400 --> 38:59.840
It's the map we saw Don struggle on against Falcons.

38:59.840 --> 39:03.040
It seems picking Mirage into Spurt quite consistently now.

39:03.040 --> 39:05.840
I don't think that's because they think there's a weakness there for Spurt.

39:05.840 --> 39:08.920
I think it's more down to the fact that it just so happens to be a coincidence

39:08.920 --> 39:12.400
that those are good maps for the teams that have played against Spurt.

39:12.400 --> 39:14.280
It's ancient for the favourites.

39:14.280 --> 39:20.000
and then if, which we certainly shouldn't require a decider, we will go to Overpass.

39:20.000 --> 39:27.800
Yeah, and if Red Cannings do get to Overpass, you remember what Shay was able to do to Gentlemakes yesterday,

39:27.800 --> 39:32.760
but as you say, it would be a massive surprise if this series goes three.

39:32.760 --> 39:36.800
This is a chance for Spirit to warm up into the tournament, feel a little bit better about themselves

39:36.800 --> 39:39.640
after what Falcons did to them yesterday.

39:39.640 --> 39:49.640
Absolutely. Try and regain some confidence. There's going to be an exec into the safe

39:49.640 --> 39:54.120
bomb site. Red canids keeping things extremely simple in the pistol here trying to minimise

39:54.120 --> 39:57.720
the variance and what could then go wrong and it's going to be Ren too to draw first

39:57.720 --> 40:01.600
blood. It's a near pressure and the back lines here and towards CT's got some support coming

40:01.600 --> 40:05.400
through there that's actually going to enable him to keep his life intact and Zontics will

40:05.400 --> 40:10.160
get a multi as red cannons run into a brick wall. Oh, that's a shame because it was such

40:10.160 --> 40:14.240
a good start. Hang on a second. Drop has an opportunity. Slow one versus two. You know,

40:14.240 --> 40:18.760
so both these players are but the mid range dualies from magics will close it out. And

40:18.760 --> 40:23.280
yet that was actually not a bad call. I do say it was simple for red cannons. They delayed

40:23.280 --> 40:27.920
those flashes pretty well, really blinding up the bulk player terribly. But in the they

40:27.920 --> 40:33.720
broke through, Teneir was able to survive just about long enough to get his on ticks

40:33.720 --> 40:39.660
in to help. Yeah, exactly. That's the key detail, right? As it was a matter of seconds

40:39.660 --> 40:44.260
at that point. I think it's actually a really rough round for Red Cannons to lose because

40:44.260 --> 40:48.700
when you're such a massive underdog as they are in the series against Spirit, pistol rounds

40:48.700 --> 40:54.780
become insurmountably more important because pistol rounds are so variable, volatile that

40:54.780 --> 41:00.860
this it closes the gap between teams at that point because of like I say how much variance

41:00.860 --> 41:05.500
there is two pistol rounds and that's where you got to try and capitalize as the underdog because

41:05.500 --> 41:10.380
you're gonna have a far more difficult time in the gun rounds obviously and then of course when

41:10.380 --> 41:15.260
you're eco-ing as well so I feel like if there ever was going to be a world in which there'd be any

41:15.260 --> 41:19.820
chance for red cannons to do some damage pistol rounds were a requirement from the word go.

41:20.620 --> 41:25.500
Exactly and now unfortunately they're going to go for the full eco to play for the guns in the

41:25.500 --> 41:30.180
third, just waiting for Spirit to use some of their utility so they have to

41:30.180 --> 41:33.300
repurchase it. So I'll take this opportunity to maybe tell you guys a

41:33.300 --> 41:36.420
little bit more about Red Canards. I'm sure there are many Spirit fans tuning

41:36.420 --> 41:40.540
in here. Maybe you've never seen a Red Canards match ever. You've got Cowards

41:40.540 --> 41:43.940
of course, who used to play for Payne. He's currently on loan from Payne at Red

41:43.940 --> 41:47.660
Canards. You've got Shea, loaned from Imperial, who is brilliant in that third

41:47.660 --> 41:52.180
map against Gentlemakes yesterday. We already touched on Rento a little bit,

41:52.180 --> 41:58.620
So worth mentioning drop is the in-game leader of course formally from fury and MIBI was part of that fury a team that made the plows

41:58.620 --> 42:00.620
The Rio major back in 2022

42:01.460 --> 42:05.620
Magic since on six and be holding in bet very easily here and there we go

42:05.620 --> 42:08.900
They only lose one player no worries against the full eco

42:09.100 --> 42:16.180
So yeah, I mean red can is as a reminder as well came all the way from the open qualifier through the closed qualifier

42:16.180 --> 42:20.740
They qualified with history by the way didn't even qualify with rent to on the team

42:20.740 --> 42:24.340
But yeah, it's been a long journey for them to get here and I'm sure they,

42:24.340 --> 42:29.140
least thing they were, last thing they were expecting was to play both Vitality and Spirit at this event.

42:29.140 --> 42:33.460
Well, there was a game that I found where Drop did play against Spirit back in

42:33.460 --> 42:39.380
2024 at ESL Pro League and it was MIBR who beat Spirit 2 once so maybe some

42:39.380 --> 42:43.220
Spirit enjoyers have seen Drop before. It was a big game there where like I said

42:43.220 --> 42:47.700
they eliminated Spirit from Pro League. Now, obviously, yeah, long time ago, sure,

42:47.700 --> 42:55.060
Maybe a stronger team even with guys like Insani in the mix as well, but hey, they have been on the receiving end of

42:56.020 --> 43:00.780
Drops devastation before do I expect it to happen again? Yeah, absolutely not but

43:02.860 --> 43:04.740
Indeed

43:04.740 --> 43:13.700
Let's go around for red cannons. How do they begin their series and why is there a crazy test for them rent to glass cannon on the off to begin?

43:13.700 --> 43:15.700
begin.

43:15.700 --> 43:17.700
Trinity is starting to dwindle a little bit.

43:17.700 --> 43:21.700
Shea will use one of the final smokes they have

43:21.700 --> 43:23.700
for a window position.

43:23.700 --> 43:27.700
Does it look like they're preparing for some kind of a B split

43:27.700 --> 43:30.700
because of the positioning of these underpass players,

43:30.700 --> 43:34.700
but they could still make their way into connector.

43:34.700 --> 43:39.700
Of course, they know that will be donk territory.

43:39.700 --> 43:44.080
Yeah, probably avoid that at all costs. I imagine would be part of the game plan

43:44.460 --> 43:49.080
They've checked their boxes really nicely so far with how they've progressed through the round efficient utility usage

43:49.080 --> 43:51.580
Obviously not much of a contest in towards middle here from spur

43:51.580 --> 43:55.260
It is gonna be magics and zon'tix you get tested over towards this B bombsite

43:55.260 --> 43:58.260
There goes your lurker drop a roof in your cage and that they've advanced really far forward

43:58.260 --> 44:00.740
Magics boosted up on the box will be the one to receive contact

44:00.740 --> 44:05.100
There's a hell of a lot of damage and a kill in that combination as well don't tries to force the issue

44:05.100 --> 44:09.180
He wants to get ahead of this team there because he recognizes there's that window of opportunity

44:09.180 --> 44:10.500
but he'll lose his life.

44:10.500 --> 44:12.700
Archiro's taking a lot of damage as he's burned to the flames.

44:12.700 --> 44:15.060
Cowers will turn in time to tear his head off,

44:15.060 --> 44:16.940
and it's Tania left in the clutch.

44:16.940 --> 44:18.660
Huge round from Cowers.

44:18.660 --> 44:21.380
Wow. As you say, Donk really forcing the issue early.

44:21.380 --> 44:23.500
He wants to get into the game early about how,

44:23.500 --> 44:26.020
after how he got obliterated against Falcons yesterday,

44:26.020 --> 44:27.380
and I don't blame him,

44:27.380 --> 44:29.460
but now Tania has got no kit in this clutch.

44:29.460 --> 44:31.380
Cowers will give up his life for information,

44:31.380 --> 44:33.740
but now Dada Dez is set up on bench headshot,

44:33.740 --> 44:35.500
angle headshot taken.

44:35.500 --> 44:37.140
First gun round for the Brazilians,

44:37.140 --> 44:38.980
and it's a Chilean to close it.

44:38.980 --> 44:45.480
Ah, very good work coming through there from Red Cannons and maybe just too much space and respect being given up here by Spirit.

44:45.480 --> 44:50.980
I mean the first time they actually kind of clock what's going on is when Magix takes contact and he's boosted up on the box

44:50.980 --> 44:54.980
and when you're in that position you're not normally the guy who's supposed to be taking first contact.

44:54.980 --> 45:01.980
So I feel like Red Cannons have done a really good job of getting super far forward before Spirit had even kind of realized what was going on.

45:01.980 --> 45:04.980
That kill on Donk there was certainly a key frag.

45:04.980 --> 45:08.260
long really trying to force the issue and it ends up costing his team quite a lot

45:09.540 --> 45:12.260
One of the main things that we haven't had a chance to touch on yet

45:12.260 --> 45:15.940
Is the fact that Halley is not with spirit at Rio

45:15.940 --> 45:21.020
I have some health issues that he needs to sort himself out with so we hope he feels and gets better

45:21.220 --> 45:26.180
But Sopfic is with them and of course Sopfic has so much experience playing with both donk and

45:26.820 --> 45:30.260
Zontics and up for us at the time on that spirit Academy team

45:30.260 --> 45:39.260
He's also been the main coach and often player when he had to stand in for the Kiyosuke version of Spirit Academy as well.

45:39.260 --> 45:45.260
So, you know, if there's one person that knows these players incredibly well that isn't Halley, it would be him.

45:45.260 --> 45:47.260
So it's good for Spirit to have him around.

45:47.260 --> 45:55.260
But of course, we know that Halley was one of the main pieces of the spirit organization that we put in a lot of work for the calling.

45:55.260 --> 45:58.860
I mean this is his team right and it kind of feels like at the moment

45:58.860 --> 46:03.000
Magix is more just a conduit for Halley and what's going on in the server and I

46:03.000 --> 46:07.380
don't expect Magix to really be taking a huge amount of space in terms of

46:07.380 --> 46:11.140
dictating how the team is going to be playing until he's really been able to

46:11.140 --> 46:13.900
come into his own as a captain I mean obviously there was that interview from

46:13.900 --> 46:17.100
Overdrive where he said it could take up to two years and I think that was maybe

46:17.100 --> 46:20.020
a little bit misconstrued by the community that he's not saying we'll

46:20.020 --> 46:24.100
start winning in two years back to that point because there's a big moment here

46:24.100 --> 46:28.100
Ashira on the open he's gonna get destroyed by dropping the first responder is on six

46:28.100 --> 46:30.660
He's not much he can do about it nothing's going to be ready except that they think

46:31.220 --> 46:36.180
Magics is jumping and hoping that don't can come through and bail them out and while don't does get the kill magic shows down

46:36.860 --> 46:39.940
That is gonna be red cannons doubling up their own countertrap

46:39.940 --> 46:42.980
Just a while it you jump back in just to finish off the points. I was making there

46:42.980 --> 46:48.940
I think it was misconstrued with what overdrive said when he said that it's gonna be two years for magics to be a cat good captain

46:48.940 --> 46:54.700
It doesn't mean that it gets a two-year runway, and that's when they can start to expect results from Spirit.

46:54.700 --> 47:01.200
It means that for now, it is just going to be Halley's team and Halley's vision that Magix is then implementing in the server.

47:01.200 --> 47:03.800
Yeah, I mean, I don't think that's a bad way of looking at it at all.

47:03.800 --> 47:07.840
Good damage here by Tanea, by the way. Him and Donk, both actually...

47:07.840 --> 47:10.200
...a little limit drop.

47:10.200 --> 47:14.800
So being the only man alive, Red Cannons after that gun round win.

47:14.800 --> 47:19.800
will keep his galile. Yeah,

47:19.800 --> 47:20.800
fighting come was very awkward.

47:20.800 --> 47:21.800
Mostly for shade, to be honest

47:21.800 --> 47:23.800
with you when he had such little

47:23.800 --> 47:25.800
ammunition remaining, the magics

47:25.800 --> 47:27.800
is hopping around like a kangaroo,

47:27.800 --> 47:29.800
inadvertently baiting perfectly

47:29.800 --> 47:31.800
for Donk, probably enough.

47:31.800 --> 47:34.800
But there we are.

47:34.800 --> 47:36.800
It's dark when the first gun round

47:36.800 --> 47:38.800
convert against the force by type

47:38.800 --> 47:40.800
the scoreline opportunity now

47:40.800 --> 47:42.800
against the eco.

47:42.800 --> 47:44.800
I called early here by spirit

47:45.820 --> 47:50.620
Notice that there was a lot of talking from magics in the tack time arts last time not so much from Sotfic

47:50.620 --> 47:53.760
And it doesn't look like Sotfic is chiming in a whole lot

47:53.760 --> 47:57.220
Maybe a couple words coming through from him. That's a listening going on

47:57.920 --> 48:02.140
For red canards extremely important that they come out the gate swinging here

48:02.140 --> 48:04.800
They're not gonna be making a comeback against road if they start like

48:05.600 --> 48:07.960
Eight one down or something like that

48:07.960 --> 48:13.940
It's gonna have to be them from the word go putting pressure here on spirit if there's gonna be any chance for them

48:14.520 --> 48:17.860
Of course on tix as I said did keep the galil

48:18.580 --> 48:21.280
And as you'd expect he drops over to donk

48:21.280 --> 48:26.380
Let's see what if I didn't do with the galil as an AK then you know what's gonna be happening, but

48:26.960 --> 48:28.960
You know the glil is excellent

48:29.920 --> 48:37.580
See if donk can prove it to be so flashing toward wrap maybe trying to get these pistols into position to go for a push

48:37.960 --> 48:43.380
Donk's got the wider angle with the 5-7 close, but there's no one there to receive it at the moment.

48:44.380 --> 48:51.420
Cannons are taking their time, and going about this early stage of Mirage, very calmly against Spirit,

48:51.420 --> 48:57.380
not getting ahead of themselves, not going for anything too crazy on these anti-Ecos and anti-forces.

48:59.220 --> 48:59.980
They've got space here.

48:59.980 --> 49:01.780
A little fake thrown into the mix here.

49:01.780 --> 49:04.820
Spirit have peeked behind the curtain and kind of realized what's going on.

49:04.820 --> 49:09.620
The problem is that Donk's hero Galil is on the polar opposite side of the maps where the action is going to go down now.

49:09.620 --> 49:13.520
There's a lot of time between this fake that's been thrown here by Red Cannons,

49:13.520 --> 49:16.520
and them actually pulling the trigger on the execute into the speed bomb site.

49:16.520 --> 49:20.320
And that window of opportunity now starts to close because Donk is charging in this direction.

49:20.320 --> 49:22.920
There's already three players in position here for Spurt.

49:22.920 --> 49:26.720
Donk is going to arrive on the scene soon enough, not when the execute gets going,

49:26.720 --> 49:29.120
but he will be here to try and help his teammates out.

49:29.120 --> 49:30.920
Great first frag found from Davidea.

49:30.920 --> 49:32.420
Zontex's Deagle's got to connect.

49:32.420 --> 49:33.120
There's Donk.

49:33.120 --> 49:34.620
He's now nestled into the bomb site.

49:34.620 --> 49:37.340
He can be a really big problem for them to have to deal with now.

49:37.340 --> 49:41.900
It is all of a sudden the only problem that they have to deal with and they'll make it happen.

49:42.700 --> 49:45.500
Oh big damage again. Three players tagged up

49:46.300 --> 49:52.220
to less so than drop but Teneir cannot work his way in with the 5-7 and red canids have the lead.

49:52.220 --> 49:57.260
You joked with me before we went live over under on red canids getting more than 10 rounds in the

49:57.260 --> 50:04.460
entire series. I definitely thought over and you agreed with me um but you know I think

50:04.460 --> 50:08.940
Spirits at the moment as we saw against Harkins yesterday, sure they've already beaten Liquid in this tournament

50:08.940 --> 50:12.460
But every bloody team's beaten Liquid at the moment. That's not really a very impressive result

50:12.940 --> 50:19.100
They just don't look like themselves the entire collective recently. They've been so inconsistent with their results

50:20.940 --> 50:24.580
Absolutely, I mean there's a lot of things that's further trying to figure out at the moment

50:24.580 --> 50:30.980
Apparently there's a lot of players just on different wavelength and trying to get balanced within the team is something Donk spoke about that

50:30.980 --> 50:33.580
They're struggling with a lot of different ideas swirling around

50:34.460 --> 50:45.820
And it means that there's a big disconnect within the squad at the moment, which means if there ever was, like, the slightest slimmest of chances for Red Cannons to push Spurt, it would be today.

50:45.820 --> 50:58.960
It would be here on this occasion. They're going to leave their hearts on the server here at their home event, and they're going to have to overcome one of the best teams in the world, though, even on their off-day, and they still got Donk.

50:58.960 --> 51:06.600
But red cannons might have Davideus we all you know we as a duo have covered over death

51:06.600 --> 51:12.100
a lot of the years in tier 2 Brazilian can strike and lots in South American ESL challenger

51:12.100 --> 51:17.160
league for example we know of course he's a he's a major playoff player now with pain

51:17.160 --> 51:21.800
but now he's back on red cannons he's fragging a lot better than he ever did on pain obviously

51:21.800 --> 51:24.720
playing lower tier South American opposition but he's looking at the Davideus we know and

51:24.720 --> 51:30.800
love. Flash through that short smoke and shaggle entry zontics perfectly. Donk on the rotation

51:30.800 --> 51:36.320
straight away. Magic's under pressure playing Jail on the B bomb side. They saw that lurk

51:36.320 --> 51:42.000
up top connector and they could go back and they are going to I think. Donk could cut

51:42.000 --> 51:45.720
this round down at the leg though. Yeah he's dropped the bomb carrier and oh Chiro excuse

51:45.720 --> 51:49.480
me not Donk. I just saw the EM4 Donk was in that position earlier. Chiro making a really

51:49.480 --> 51:52.160
good play there to actually get the kill and then he's going to be able to get the Yorpe

51:52.160 --> 51:56.240
as well. And if the job wasn't done initially, it should be now. Is there enough time? I think

51:56.240 --> 51:59.680
there's just enough time here. Donk is going to realize that he maybe has an opportunity

51:59.680 --> 52:03.120
to catch this player on the crosscours. Not going to be able to get across. And now it's

52:03.120 --> 52:08.000
just about prioritizing his life. And Donk will survive long enough yet to get his team across

52:08.000 --> 52:11.120
the line and tie up the scoreboard here for Spirits.

52:11.120 --> 52:16.320
Cavadirus does actually get the kill, which means no one on Spirits survives winning that round.

52:16.320 --> 52:21.760
So thereby will not be good. And Redcans will be the first people to realize that and recognize

52:21.760 --> 52:25.760
that they'll know they've got a good opportunity here and they're actually going to call a timeout to

52:25.760 --> 52:30.560
discuss it as you can see on your left of your screen the buyer is not going to be good at three

52:30.560 --> 52:37.040
mp9s in this gun round for spirit you've seen jane call a call a half buy on rounds like this before

52:38.240 --> 52:45.040
yeah i mean it is obviously very unauthentic box oh he's doing the challenge trav he's doing the

52:45.040 --> 52:50.240
stream of challenge try to see how many he can get in in 20 seconds or so probably not to top

52:50.240 --> 52:56.480
only his numbers but you're right that this is unorthodox to to kind of half buy after winning

52:56.480 --> 53:02.960
around that is very James-esque but um yeah you've just heard and you're such massive favorites you're

53:02.960 --> 53:07.840
probably not going to be giving up that sort of ground here against Redcats. Yeah just don't treat

53:07.840 --> 53:12.080
them too much respect or otherwise you could easily get caught and they might still who knows

53:12.080 --> 53:18.080
it's not over until it's over. A little bit unsure Redcam is about how to go about this purchase

53:18.080 --> 53:24.360
one of the main reasons why they called that half-bite, or called the tack pole, sorry,

53:24.360 --> 53:31.920
to go for this force-bite with the Eagle, Tech 9, Glill and a couple of AKs.

53:31.920 --> 53:36.040
So it was a really good play from Shira in that previous round, really taking the initiative

53:36.040 --> 53:40.480
there, getting the bomb dropped in underpass and then immediately dropping down, picking

53:40.480 --> 53:42.560
up the op, getting the second kill.

53:42.560 --> 53:49.480
excellent trading but by cowers but no time to cross and don't put a stop what

53:49.480 --> 53:53.640
red cannons wanted to try and do and one of those rounds where you take a

53:53.640 --> 53:58.160
oh yeah sorry man go on I was gonna say that I mentioned the lack of quality

53:58.160 --> 54:05.560
weaponry for spirit they're already out of util mr. Windows I was gonna say

54:05.560 --> 54:09.560
let's play the game of guessing who won the previous round based on the buy for

54:09.560 --> 54:12.960
both these teams because this is like difficulty level impossible.

54:14.760 --> 54:16.860
Red Cannons have gone B a lot.

54:16.860 --> 54:19.860
In fact, they've looked to go B every single round, bar the pistol,

54:19.860 --> 54:24.260
and then obviously in the previous, they try to pivot away from B late in the round.

54:24.260 --> 54:26.360
Now they're going to explore into this A site.

54:26.560 --> 54:29.160
Tenier goes through that A ramp smoke.

54:29.160 --> 54:30.560
He's got Shiro in tow.

54:30.860 --> 54:33.960
In the meantime, Red Cannons have just slowly cracked their way down the ladder

54:33.960 --> 54:37.960
into this A bomb site, and it's going to be Zontik who pays with his life for that information.

54:37.960 --> 54:42.760
You're not going to expect Sheer again. Maybe they do. You're definitely not going to expect T'Nia as well, but T'Nia's gone down.

54:42.760 --> 54:47.720
That puts Sheer in a bit of a pickle stack between a rock and a hard place, and he will battle back for two.

54:47.720 --> 54:55.440
Pretty good, but Cow has a low HP, will immediately destroy Magix, and that leaves Donk last alive again.

54:55.440 --> 54:57.820
I'm afraid he will not be winning this one.

54:57.820 --> 55:02.960
Incredible work from Red Cannon is really well-pathed through Palace there.

55:02.960 --> 55:07.800
Walking down the ladder silently, which is what Heavy God did yesterday for G2.

55:07.800 --> 55:11.140
and get a really clean quad kill.

55:12.040 --> 55:14.260
This time, it's a double from Cowards

55:14.260 --> 55:16.840
and a double from Drop that will secure

55:16.840 --> 55:19.440
a four or three lead to Red Cannards.

55:19.440 --> 55:21.740
And again, just the lack of utility for the Spirit

55:21.740 --> 55:24.800
and just plain weaponry really coming back to fight them there.

55:24.800 --> 55:25.840
That's the open kill from Cowards.

55:25.840 --> 55:28.400
If he actually goes down to that CT position,

55:28.400 --> 55:30.000
that would actually make a big difference

55:30.000 --> 55:33.120
for the mid-port portion of that take.

55:33.120 --> 55:33.960
Yeah, I think you're right.

55:33.960 --> 55:35.760
That's probably the lunge pin in the round there.

55:35.760 --> 55:37.680
That kill going Red Cannards' way

55:37.680 --> 55:40.960
was maybe one of the main determining outcomes of the round, even though it was one of the

55:40.960 --> 55:44.920
first kills in the round. And then I like that late activation on the player coming

55:44.920 --> 55:48.880
through from ramps, so red cannons prioritized the hit through Palace, and because they've

55:48.880 --> 55:52.640
got that extra man who comes late through ramp, he gets the intel, as we do follow the

55:52.640 --> 55:56.120
smoke all the way through to make sure they landed this time, which they do. Thank you,

55:56.120 --> 56:01.160
Mr. Shev, and join us, our observers. But, yeah, that that late activation through ramp

56:01.160 --> 56:04.640
was also a key detail to make sure that red cannons had the intel, that there was already

56:04.640 --> 56:10.640
one player advanced and ramp and then a second in the corner there as well. So neither of those players able to catch red cannons off guard

56:10.640 --> 56:17.020
as Donkel used the near as bait on the end of his fishing rod there to enable him to get an open and kill with the Sura rifle.

56:18.920 --> 56:23.280
SM4 that was kept over is gonna try and be the main

56:24.480 --> 56:29.920
thing to get spirit back in this and Magix actually has made quite a bit of noise pushing forward to grab that AK

56:29.920 --> 56:33.880
and Shay you can tell by his facial expression on that push forward

56:34.640 --> 56:40.060
It's been taken and they know Magix is there and that is why Davidus creeps out ramp on a timing

56:40.420 --> 56:47.260
Good job. Now don't think stairs already will pre made it though and destroy it. Shea good job. Oh

56:48.020 --> 56:50.020
And that's five three

56:50.260 --> 56:56.260
Indeed it is and it's about trying to prioritize keeping the rest of these players alive before red cannons that they can build up their bank

56:56.580 --> 57:01.980
One of the main struggles for spirits on the city side of mirage has been trying to figure out their best way of going up

57:01.980 --> 57:06.820
upset setting themselves up because Tania has always been a catwalk player

57:06.820 --> 57:08.580
He was the catwalk player on gun 5

57:08.580 --> 57:14.740
He was a catwalk player for heroic on the CT side of this map and then when he came into the team to replace

57:14.860 --> 57:21.440
Zontics he was the catwalk player as well when he joined the team and then his way became the a anchor right now

57:22.100 --> 57:27.120
They continue to juggle these roles around where Tania is now the a anchor here

57:27.120 --> 57:31.760
Mirage and Zontics has returned back to his position on top, which is where he

57:31.760 --> 57:35.600
has always played. I feel like Taneer has certainly been struggling in that A

57:35.600 --> 57:43.600
anchor role here on Mirage in particular. I mean getting Taneer in particular into

57:43.600 --> 57:47.720
this spirit team felt like a slam dunk at the time. We covered him so much in gun

57:47.720 --> 57:52.200
five. I mean we remember that gun five team with him and Yellow, who's obviously now

57:52.200 --> 57:57.040
on paravision, was slapping people about in tier two. Taneer was incredible. He

57:57.040 --> 58:01.640
He carried that over to Heroic when it was kind of a temporary move to begin with and

58:01.640 --> 58:04.120
he was so damn good, Heroic kept him.

58:04.120 --> 58:09.480
But yeah, it's just not the Teneir we remember from those days, even against this really

58:09.480 --> 58:12.920
good tier 1.5, tier 1 opposition in Heroic.

58:12.920 --> 58:15.720
And it's a shame because we know what Teneir has got in his locker.

58:15.720 --> 58:18.840
Let's see if we can show a little bit of it today.

58:18.840 --> 58:22.000
Even you're thinking it's Red Canne as you could see a very good level from him, but

58:22.000 --> 58:23.560
Kawa is waiting on ramp.

58:23.560 --> 58:31.860
Tamago's looking, will get deleted, eventually Zontix gets his kill from short, a rare headshot on Davideus, 4v4 but look at the damage.

58:33.560 --> 58:38.160
Feels like they're lacking the AWP on Shiro as well, again they're not gonna have it here.

58:39.660 --> 58:49.260
Fundamental part of their defense is Shiro with that sniper rifle on the CT side and the CT sides have been in a big portion of where Spurred of Axiopin struggling, their T sides have been alright.

58:49.260 --> 58:53.500
And again, the defensive half proving to be a problem here against Red Cannards.

58:54.500 --> 58:56.820
We've got a game in our hands, 4v4.

58:57.220 --> 59:03.060
Damage done, like you say, to both Donk and Zontics as Red Cannards zero their sights in on the speed bomb site.

59:08.020 --> 59:09.980
We smoke from Magix on a good timing.

59:10.500 --> 59:12.100
Four players walking in.

59:12.540 --> 59:13.540
Four Red Cannards.

59:13.580 --> 59:17.860
45 seconds left in the round, they've got plenty of utility, not just for the take,

59:17.860 --> 59:19.460
but for the after plant as well.

59:21.460 --> 59:21.960
Magic.

59:21.960 --> 59:24.020
Magic will switch hands there,

59:24.020 --> 59:25.420
maybe to make it feel a bit more comfortable

59:25.420 --> 59:26.360
on that sort of angle.

59:27.020 --> 59:28.660
Now, Zontics will shift back to help.

59:28.960 --> 59:31.160
Magic will once again put himself in jail.

59:31.460 --> 59:32.560
It's my favourite position,

59:32.560 --> 59:34.760
but it's usually only good for a one-for-one.

59:35.260 --> 59:36.260
Only in van.

59:36.560 --> 59:37.960
And they will try and make the push now.

59:37.960 --> 59:39.160
Zontics is here on time,

59:39.160 --> 59:41.160
but they need to get at least a killer piece here.

59:41.460 --> 59:43.560
That molotov spread on bench, I don't think it will,

59:43.560 --> 59:45.560
but it's a brilliant clear from Shea.

59:45.660 --> 59:47.360
Goodness gracious me, Zontics.

59:47.360 --> 59:52.080
now having to sand tall. He gets one but he needs more and he can't grab it. Drop will push him out

59:52.080 --> 59:55.840
of the round. 10 seconds for the plant. They're going to be okay. Venting's got the line. He'll

59:55.840 --> 01:00:02.000
miss and Shiro will get that kill with the M4. As unfortunately, one of the kind of patterns we've

01:00:02.000 --> 01:00:07.520
noticed with Rento under pressure as the newbie to the team is a bit prone to the odd miss. Now

01:00:07.520 --> 01:00:11.840
Donk and Shiro in the retake. The two best players on Spirit to try and make it happen.

01:00:11.840 --> 01:00:15.460
They might have to be Shiro, but Drop is going to stand tall.

01:00:15.460 --> 01:00:20.540
9 HP to spare, and Red Cannons right now are in full control.

01:00:21.180 --> 01:00:23.840
Getting loud in and out of the server as well.

01:00:23.840 --> 01:00:26.140
They're trying to add insult to injury right now,

01:00:26.140 --> 01:00:27.840
and pile that pressure onto Spurt,

01:00:27.840 --> 01:00:32.940
who should never have had any serious problems coming into the series here against Red Cannons.

01:00:32.940 --> 01:00:36.140
But all of a sudden, they're under the cross, they're under the pump,

01:00:36.140 --> 01:00:38.340
and they're feeling the heat here in Rio.

01:00:38.340 --> 01:00:49.660
Shae is trying to show us, not just on the flare camera reactions, but what he was able

01:00:49.660 --> 01:00:52.500
to do against gentlemates on Overpass yesterday.

01:00:52.500 --> 01:01:01.060
He was the key factor to eliminating the Spaniards from Rio and keeping their home event alive.

01:01:01.060 --> 01:01:05.180
It's crazy.

01:01:05.180 --> 01:01:07.500
Is that bloody orphan Shiro's hands man?

01:01:07.500 --> 01:01:10.340
I know, it's crazy how much work he's been doing with the M4!

01:01:11.860 --> 01:01:13.300
Has he even had an AWP once?

01:01:13.300 --> 01:01:15.620
I mean, I know he picked up an AWP and he got that kill in Lowers,

01:01:15.620 --> 01:01:17.940
but that was picked up off of a red cannon's body!

01:01:18.300 --> 01:01:20.620
I'm not sure if he's actually started around with the sniper yet,

01:01:20.620 --> 01:01:22.580
yet we're already nine deeper Mirage!

01:01:24.260 --> 01:01:24.980
Oh, dear!

01:01:27.140 --> 01:01:27.900
Spirit!

01:01:29.020 --> 01:01:30.900
Someone send out a search warrant!

01:01:37.500 --> 01:01:45.100
Also does deserve to be said that red cannons players are looking exceptionally sharp here in the server today, man

01:01:45.740 --> 01:01:49.100
We took the name plates off. I think that was red cannons

01:01:49.820 --> 01:01:55.340
Excuse me spurt on the T side. How sharp they've been looking with their first bullet accuracy their sprays

01:01:55.340 --> 01:02:00.180
And this is all while rent to is yet to really come online you with his AWP

01:02:00.180 --> 01:02:05.860
Yeah, going to slow things down here, our red cannons. Look to see if there's anything

01:02:05.860 --> 01:02:10.420
untoward here in the round, recognizing that Sprit will be on the low buy and maybe expecting

01:02:10.420 --> 01:02:12.180
them to make some sort of a play.

01:02:12.180 --> 01:02:17.900
Something I mentioned to you yesterday as well that I know that Drop has got plenty of experience

01:02:17.900 --> 01:02:24.500
playing on Fury and MIBR. One of the things that he really struggled with on both of those

01:02:24.500 --> 01:02:31.380
Those two terms was big pressure moments in big games and he used to really fall off individually

01:02:31.380 --> 01:02:34.780
as the in-game leader or not.

01:02:34.780 --> 01:02:39.140
He's the in-game leader here and he's playing really, really well in a big game against

01:02:39.140 --> 01:02:40.140
Spirit.

01:02:40.140 --> 01:02:45.580
11-5, powers and nose is a bit of default presence there from Magix and we're trying

01:02:45.580 --> 01:02:46.580
to bait for Tanea.

01:02:46.580 --> 01:02:50.700
We're going to clear it properly, pretty good drop coming through and there we go.

01:02:50.700 --> 01:02:54.220
Clean as you like and this half-buy is going nowhere.

01:02:54.220 --> 01:02:58.220
2 will get a second kill for his confidence and it's 7-3.

01:03:00.720 --> 01:03:05.220
A win in the half now guaranteed for Red Cannons on the T side of Mirage sure it's their map pick,

01:03:05.220 --> 01:03:09.220
but they could have picked any map in the world and I wouldn't have expected this to happen against Spurot

01:03:09.220 --> 01:03:13.220
who are looking a little bit shell-shocked right now because not only are they behind,

01:03:13.220 --> 01:03:18.220
I mean sure it's still map 1 and we're still in the first half, but that pressure of them just having been such

01:03:18.220 --> 01:03:23.220
overwhelming favourites coming into the series, as soon as you check the scoreline and you're down 7-3,

01:03:23.220 --> 01:03:28.580
down 7-3 that expectation means that the pressure builds exponentially at that point.

01:03:30.340 --> 01:03:33.780
Yeah red canvass will have come into this game with nothing to lose and sure they did that against

01:03:33.780 --> 01:03:40.900
Vitality but we know Vitality are pretty impenetrable. Spirit, not so. Oh great, flash in middle,

01:03:40.900 --> 01:03:46.100
the delayed one from drop at 1 minute 30, take the headshot on Zontix, carers will entry to

01:03:46.100 --> 01:03:49.460
Tenea on A and Donk only just gets there in time.

01:03:49.460 --> 01:03:52.620
Ren 2, spotted on ramp.

01:03:52.620 --> 01:03:55.820
Not used to fight that and nor will Donk to be fair.

01:03:55.820 --> 01:03:57.540
So 4B3 to work with.

01:04:04.180 --> 01:04:06.380
And again, going back to their good old faithful here.

01:04:06.380 --> 01:04:09.540
It's only Magix on this half of the map right now.

01:04:11.380 --> 01:04:13.540
Do they get a read on this to start to rotate anybody

01:04:13.540 --> 01:04:14.380
across the map?

01:04:14.380 --> 01:04:18.820
even and magics is even focusing on middle right now and so there's nobody

01:04:18.820 --> 01:04:22.340
home this is probably gonna be a situation where once they realize that

01:04:22.340 --> 01:04:26.020
they end up just committing to the save unless magics can find a quick fire

01:04:26.020 --> 01:04:29.100
double I don't see any way back into this when they start residual neutral to

01:04:29.100 --> 01:04:33.540
deploy in the post glance as well magics plays cat not by choice

01:04:33.540 --> 01:04:40.300
forced backwards by the nade and this is round over 8 out of 11 now going red

01:04:40.300 --> 01:04:45.740
canids his way when do we start to panic do we hit that button already this is

01:04:45.740 --> 01:04:52.620
crazy my words red canids maybe keeping an eye on what falcons did to the

01:04:52.620 --> 01:04:57.820
did to spirit yesterday and trying to take a few leaves out of that book

01:04:57.820 --> 01:05:02.060
shiro has an AWP but guess what it's only an exit kill I think one of the main

01:05:02.060 --> 01:05:05.180
things I want to pray to a canids for which you know a separate thing from

01:05:05.180 --> 01:05:09.420
what you already have is the fact that they kept this extra utility once they

01:05:09.420 --> 01:05:15.020
taken a bombsite. You can afford to throw all their players in here by the way. There's no problem with

01:05:15.020 --> 01:05:18.460
everyone going down because they've got all the money in the world for the final round of the half.

01:05:18.460 --> 01:05:24.300
They will give that hunt to go. Only a couple of kills for Spirit as consolation.

01:05:26.700 --> 01:05:33.180
And say what you want about them not having Halley here, about Magix being a new IGL in the infancy

01:05:33.180 --> 01:05:38.460
of that domain. This is the CT side boys. This is where you're supposed to just have your individuals

01:05:38.460 --> 01:05:43.020
winning their duels, making good individual decisions based on their own game sense and

01:05:43.020 --> 01:05:47.740
their own situation as well, and then kind of coming together as a unit in that regard.

01:05:48.460 --> 01:05:52.140
It's anything but that, quite the contrary. It's Donk to fall first here.

01:05:52.780 --> 01:05:57.180
Red Cannons on course for nine. They've been really good at converting his opening kills

01:05:57.180 --> 01:06:03.420
into round wins. Can they do it again here to really ramp this half home?

01:06:03.420 --> 01:06:07.420
Unshiro knows he has to stick around. He needs to try and find something to answer back,

01:06:07.420 --> 01:06:11.660
but that made almost expose him in that pick toward under.

01:06:14.140 --> 01:06:18.220
Now again, it's a round where Spirits have lost their opening kill and they're scrambling in the

01:06:18.220 --> 01:06:22.540
rotations. They might just get caught in transition again. Wouldn't be the first time. We've got three

01:06:22.540 --> 01:06:27.420
over toward A at the moment. Lontek's holding on to short, having to worry about both middle and B.

01:06:29.820 --> 01:06:33.980
To near now, close wrap. Flash will come through to give him a look. He needs to live from it.

01:06:33.980 --> 01:06:40.980
Thankfully Karras is full blind from it and he will be able to upgrade to the AK. But now Renty can set himself up from the catwalk position.

01:06:40.980 --> 01:06:50.980
Shiro picks it, it could be in trouble, Renty will take it. On his S2 event debuts, he's killed both dog and shiro in a singular round beyond his wildest dreams.

01:06:50.980 --> 01:06:58.980
Now Magix, drop. Will drop, but Magix might need one more, but Davidesk is in no time whatsoever. Ridiculous swing.

01:06:58.980 --> 01:07:01.980
to make it a quad kill. It's

01:07:02.080 --> 01:07:04.980
nine three, but not to spirit

01:07:05.080 --> 01:07:06.980
to red can it's not even be

01:07:07.080 --> 01:07:07.980
called into action from short

01:07:08.080 --> 01:07:09.980
here. They're going through C

01:07:10.080 --> 01:07:11.980
T to a it's going to be onto

01:07:12.080 --> 01:07:12.980
here. I think. Sucking

01:07:13.080 --> 01:07:14.980
sandwich, but it's going to be

01:07:15.080 --> 01:07:16.980
cleared by the rent to tech

01:07:17.080 --> 01:07:18.980
nine. I can't believe what I'm

01:07:19.080 --> 01:07:20.980
witnessing at the moment.

01:07:21.080 --> 01:07:22.980
Zontix one V three. And all

01:07:23.080 --> 01:07:24.980
three angles are well set up

01:07:25.080 --> 01:07:26.980
for the crossfire. Utility

01:07:26.980 --> 01:07:28.980
a spirit to Red Canids!

01:10:26.980 --> 01:10:50.020
Do not rub your eyes, you are really witnessing Red Canis up 9-3 on Team Spirits, the lowest

01:10:50.020 --> 01:10:54.460
ranked team in the tournament that came all the way from the open qualifier is troubling

01:10:54.460 --> 01:10:56.460
some of the best players in the world.

01:10:56.460 --> 01:11:02.420
A big time, there are a real fallen in spirit side right now, it was a three-all scoreline

01:11:02.420 --> 01:11:07.140
at one point on Mirage and then it was just a hot six-run streak coming through from Red

01:11:07.140 --> 01:11:12.900
Cannards, putting spirit on the back foot, proving already that they can bleed here in

01:11:12.900 --> 01:11:14.420
the series against Red Cannards.

01:11:14.420 --> 01:11:18.740
I can't believe I'm saying this, I'm going to give you the old cast a cliche, they need

01:11:18.740 --> 01:11:24.340
the pistol spirit, not Red Cannards, it's Spirit who need the pistol three, nine behind, and

01:11:24.340 --> 01:11:25.660
walking in through Palace.

01:11:25.660 --> 01:11:27.780
A radio reach coming through there at a really good time.

01:11:27.780 --> 01:11:30.260
Unfortunately for Drop though, he'll get destroyed by Donk.

01:11:30.260 --> 01:11:31.980
Then comes the entry man himself,

01:11:31.980 --> 01:11:33.500
gets himself two off the bat.

01:11:33.500 --> 01:11:35.420
Rento will put him down though.

01:11:35.420 --> 01:11:37.380
Great confidence for Rento after that quad kill

01:11:37.380 --> 01:11:40.500
to end the half after he had a very slow half overall.

01:11:40.500 --> 01:11:42.540
He'll be now feeling it a little bit more.

01:11:42.540 --> 01:11:44.980
There's actually some monotones and some extra flashes

01:11:44.980 --> 01:11:45.820
to work with here.

01:11:45.820 --> 01:11:47.820
It looks like Spirit want to try and attack Jungle.

01:11:47.820 --> 01:11:49.620
Cowice knows it though, playing safe.

01:11:49.620 --> 01:11:50.580
Great tap on Magix.

01:11:50.580 --> 01:11:52.580
Cowice has been so clean so far

01:11:52.580 --> 01:11:54.740
And there's two more to add to the tally.

01:11:54.740 --> 01:11:56.420
Teneir will find Renty on the trade though,

01:11:56.420 --> 01:12:00.020
and Davides is circling on the spot trying to find Shiro,

01:12:00.020 --> 01:12:01.260
and he can't.

01:12:01.260 --> 01:12:04.300
He's now all down two cowards in the 1v2.

01:12:04.300 --> 01:12:07.860
I think Teneir and Shiro have got this one under lock and key,

01:12:07.860 --> 01:12:09.500
and that's a great head shot from Teneir.

01:12:09.500 --> 01:12:12.300
So the must win pistol does go their way.

01:12:13.940 --> 01:12:15.100
Yeah, really well done there.

01:12:15.100 --> 01:12:17.380
I mean, Donk with an explosive open and kill there

01:12:17.380 --> 01:12:19.220
through the smoke to set the round in motion,

01:12:19.220 --> 01:12:21.940
then he combines that with the second important frag as well.

01:12:21.940 --> 01:12:26.820
Spirit then feel like they can't really commit to the original plan of taking deep CT control

01:12:26.820 --> 01:12:29.260
so they instead re-route and try and go towards Jungle.

01:12:29.260 --> 01:12:33.820
That gets emphatically shut down by Cowe's with a phenomenal double kill.

01:12:33.820 --> 01:12:36.140
There's some really clean shots coming through from him.

01:12:36.140 --> 01:12:40.380
It starts to get quite concerning at that point there for Spirit but they regain control

01:12:40.380 --> 01:12:44.460
and they get it across the line to set this second half in motion.

01:12:44.460 --> 01:12:48.380
Long road back for them here on Mirage but they've got to keep that belief.

01:12:48.380 --> 01:12:49.460
Look at this.

01:12:49.460 --> 01:12:50.620
Fadabadass.

01:12:50.620 --> 01:12:55.380
Not really a boost you see all too often, and these are the rounds you're really going to be careful.

01:12:56.500 --> 01:13:04.340
With if you are Spirit and all the hard work and don't throw it away against the Famas, MP9s, 5-7 and Scouts,

01:13:05.620 --> 01:13:09.500
Chase even got immediate counter utility if Dabba dare sees anything.

01:13:10.460 --> 01:13:13.940
But the bomb's going back toward middle, it's only Tenea lurking here at the moment.

01:13:13.940 --> 01:13:22.340
Spirit just trying to get an idea of what's going on in the round as they start to take

01:13:22.340 --> 01:13:23.540
some shape themselves.

01:13:23.540 --> 01:13:29.540
One-three, one-split, keeping their options available here in Palace, Player in Apartments.

01:13:29.540 --> 01:13:34.100
Both extremities covered and it looks like they're just going to root their way up catwalking

01:13:34.100 --> 01:13:35.100
to be.

01:13:35.100 --> 01:13:39.180
Now how do red cannons respond to this considering there are two players in this corner?

01:13:39.180 --> 01:13:43.860
Not going to be spotted initially by Donk, but it's really awkward to try and take fights

01:13:43.860 --> 01:13:49.580
in towards Catwalk from these positions, and Donk will come through just in time as he cuts the scaffolding down from

01:13:49.580 --> 01:13:55.100
underneath Davideus. That is going to enable the apartment player, and it's now impossible for Rinto on Scout.

01:13:55.100 --> 01:14:00.460
There's one, but yeah, it was only ever going to be one, to be fair, he's done very well to get that one.

01:14:00.940 --> 01:14:08.340
Magix will find drop, and that means Kha'ez has nothing to do, and ideally, you probably try and keep the famas, even though it's only a famas,

01:14:08.340 --> 01:14:12.540
and he will fall away. So well done, Spirit there, they parve it well.

01:14:12.540 --> 01:14:18.100
And, yeah, unfortunately for Davidas, that tree trunk, as you say, did get cut down.

01:14:18.100 --> 01:14:20.660
So, no impact to be had from that position.

01:14:20.660 --> 01:14:22.660
It was probably...

01:14:22.660 --> 01:14:26.060
I reckon he was licking his lips because he hears those footsteps and he realizes,

01:14:26.060 --> 01:14:28.260
I'm about to get this jewel here on T'Nia.

01:14:28.260 --> 01:14:30.260
Look at how long T'Nia was in position.

01:14:30.260 --> 01:14:32.500
And then Davidas hears him and starting to advance.

01:14:32.500 --> 01:14:36.660
Then just as T'Nia shows up, was about to show up in Davidas' cross.

01:14:36.660 --> 01:14:38.820
That's where Don crowns the corner and gets the kill.

01:14:38.820 --> 01:14:40.860
And Davidas, all of a sudden, is like, mate, why did you...

01:14:40.860 --> 01:14:43.340
Oh, you didn't run away, you died.

01:14:43.340 --> 01:14:45.420
That means the stack is no longer assembled

01:14:45.420 --> 01:14:47.260
for the boost at least,

01:14:47.260 --> 01:14:51.220
and that will be Spirit at least closing the gap.

01:14:51.220 --> 01:14:53.780
And often in these sort of games,

01:14:53.780 --> 01:14:56.260
it is a little bit harder for the underdog

01:14:56.260 --> 01:14:57.860
to hold on on CT side,

01:14:57.860 --> 01:14:59.600
because realistically,

01:14:59.600 --> 01:15:01.900
Spirit do have way more advanced tactics

01:15:01.900 --> 01:15:03.900
than red cannons probably have, right?

01:15:05.100 --> 01:15:07.860
And it's a very common pattern

01:15:07.860 --> 01:15:10.400
that a favorite does make a T side come back,

01:15:10.400 --> 01:15:12.400
even if it's the un-favorite side of the map.

01:15:14.900 --> 01:15:17.400
Absolutely key points in Ale, there, Trav.

01:15:17.400 --> 01:15:20.900
Especially when you combine that with the fact that it's going to be Donk in this T-side,

01:15:20.900 --> 01:15:23.900
he's going to be exceptionally difficult, Geoff or Red Cannons to contain,

01:15:23.900 --> 01:15:29.400
and to try and win these isolated jewels where they can't always be the one that are calling the shots in the round,

01:15:29.400 --> 01:15:31.900
playing at their own pace, dictating where they go on the map,

01:15:31.900 --> 01:15:35.900
instead having to receive Spirit and try and deal with what's being thrown at them,

01:15:35.900 --> 01:15:38.400
that can be insurmountably more difficult as the end of Dog.

01:15:38.400 --> 01:15:42.920
And another factor to consider is of course red cannons would have had some hope coming into this one

01:15:42.920 --> 01:15:48.900
But they probably also did consign themselves to the fact that this wasn't gonna go their way when they realized that they drew spirit

01:15:49.080 --> 01:15:54.000
Then they get themselves 9 3 up on the half and all of a sudden in that great between halves

01:15:54.360 --> 01:15:56.520
It's like guys, we're in control

01:15:56.520 --> 01:16:01.360
This this is actually like our game to lose all of a sudden and then reality can start to set in like oh

01:16:01.760 --> 01:16:07.200
Damn this game to lose and and all of a sudden it's like we never expected to be here. How are we here?

01:16:07.200 --> 01:16:11.280
What's going on and that can start to overwhelm you a little bit back calm down?

01:16:11.280 --> 01:16:15.360
You're not the one being overwhelmed. It's red can is being overwhelmed right now. I am a little bit right

01:16:16.080 --> 01:16:18.080
Well, spirit are two

01:16:18.080 --> 01:16:24.000
Oh dear, I'm a very empathetic person Trav. I'm feeling their emotions very valid very valid

01:16:25.280 --> 01:16:28.520
Cow is will do well to get the kill on zonetix. Well, unfortunately

01:16:29.440 --> 01:16:33.840
It's gonna be very difficult for these two digs to hold on drop dancing around on the bench

01:16:33.840 --> 01:16:39.800
He's got davidas on default with him, but they should be cleared and even though drop does actually dig donk out of the round

01:16:40.600 --> 01:16:47.880
Have space and I say they have space. I mean Taneer's 6 HP. Magix is 22. This was not easy by any stretch and

01:16:48.880 --> 01:16:52.780
Recony's can still lock them in with some aggressive exit positions here.

01:16:56.680 --> 01:17:02.080
I mean any damage or any further damage would certainly be welcomed already two kills in the round Taneer is low

01:17:02.080 --> 01:17:05.980
They could get one more frag. That would be fantastic here. Just a force for it to

01:17:05.980 --> 01:17:10.060
rebuy a lot of their weaponry. I mean, Shea says, mate, it's all new because I'd like

01:17:10.060 --> 01:17:14.240
to keep this AK in play. And Kha'Z will find the timing. And like I said, it's an

01:17:14.240 --> 01:17:17.880
era of magic. They're both low. Kha'Z is not at all kind of win this round right now.

01:17:17.880 --> 01:17:22.960
It's just about trying to keep the T's in and around this bomb. And yeah, good.

01:17:22.960 --> 01:17:26.760
There's no way T'Nia's gonna get far away enough, right? Not on 6 health. Maybe.

01:17:26.760 --> 01:17:30.960
Maybe. In fact, yeah, only just. Oh, nope, not even.

01:17:30.960 --> 01:17:37.460
Okay, four kills in the year, not bad, really not bad. Keeps the spirit a little bit more honest.

01:17:40.160 --> 01:17:44.760
Yeah, I mean, we know that some of these Red Canis players do have big event experience.

01:17:44.760 --> 01:17:48.660
I mentioned Drop earlier, obviously we know Coway has played big events with Payne.

01:17:48.660 --> 01:17:52.660
He's not even permanently signed to Red Canis, he's only on loan from Payne.

01:17:52.660 --> 01:17:54.660
He shares on loan from Imperial.

01:17:55.660 --> 01:17:58.660
He'd argue that Red Canis doesn't even have a full team, in that sense.

01:17:58.660 --> 01:18:05.700
But yeah, they are proving that there are no pushovers whatsoever.

01:18:05.700 --> 01:18:09.320
But now real difficulties will begin on the CT side.

01:18:09.320 --> 01:18:10.820
Renzi has got his AWP out.

01:18:10.820 --> 01:18:15.020
He's had one very, very good round in this series, that was at the end of that first

01:18:15.020 --> 01:18:16.020
half.

01:18:16.020 --> 01:18:19.820
But it can't just be the one.

01:18:19.820 --> 01:18:22.100
For me it's this gun round.

01:18:22.100 --> 01:18:25.580
It's this gun round for Spirit where they'll settle back into the map if they can make

01:18:25.580 --> 01:18:28.260
it work.

01:18:28.260 --> 01:18:44.260
We've seen this picture, we've seen the story already before here on the B stream between 3D Max and Falkens, where 3D Max went up 9-1, and then on the T side of Inferno, we had that masterful comeback from Falkens, where they went onto on the map 13-10.

01:18:44.260 --> 01:18:50.260
Can Spirit replicate that here against Red Cannons to dodge this bullet?

01:18:50.260 --> 01:18:54.540
Yeah, I'm feeling a lot less concerned for spirit now. I'm feeling more concerned for red cannons

01:18:54.540 --> 01:18:59.420
I'd love to see a crazy upset, but it's gonna be difficult from here even with a 9-6 lead

01:18:59.660 --> 01:19:05.460
Sure will entry drop they go to have a desk magics will find him and now all of a sudden shea alone on

01:19:06.100 --> 01:19:11.660
B doesn't have any help here whatsoever as they're gonna close in on him from short and apartments

01:19:11.740 --> 01:19:17.100
This split is gonna make him feel a lot of pain. I'm afraid needs to get the kill immediately on to near

01:19:17.100 --> 01:19:20.640
but Teneir does not allow it and Renjun needs to get out of their ASAP

01:19:21.060 --> 01:19:26.540
Now there's as well to find that killer magix, but even he might be able to save Donk almost catches him

01:19:27.100 --> 01:19:28.260
but

01:19:28.260 --> 01:19:31.220
The gap the gap is two and they will be hunting as you say

01:19:34.620 --> 01:19:41.260
All right everybody with me now let's have a nice deep breath because this has been a ridiculous map so far

01:19:41.260 --> 01:19:47.700
Okay, cool. Listen, Spirit are back. They've drawn with them too. They're gonna be feeling

01:19:47.700 --> 01:19:56.180
a whole lot better about this than they were five, ten minutes ago. Really good for their

01:19:56.180 --> 01:20:00.700
confidence as well to battle back on this T side, go flawless so far with four consecutive

01:20:00.700 --> 01:20:05.460
rounds and build themselves into this T side.

01:20:05.460 --> 01:20:15.060
And whatever happens from here, Red Canis can say, look guys, well, we made them sweat.

01:20:15.060 --> 01:20:16.660
So we should be proud of ourselves.

01:20:16.660 --> 01:20:21.500
But of course, still in the league, they'll still believe that they have a way to win

01:20:21.500 --> 01:20:22.500
the map.

01:20:22.500 --> 01:20:28.140
But let's say we've got that REN2 AWP coming in in this round, even though they don't have

01:20:28.140 --> 01:20:30.820
much around it.

01:20:30.820 --> 01:20:32.740
Three deagles and an MP9.

01:20:32.740 --> 01:20:37.720
utility isn't that bad considering it's a half-investment. Sure, looking for the

01:20:37.720 --> 01:20:41.280
jump spot. I mean, he's gonna need some kills here. Always gonna have to save the

01:20:41.280 --> 01:20:45.560
AWP because they get 3400. That means he will be up to enough money to afford an

01:20:45.560 --> 01:20:50.720
AWP, but only just in the next round. A couple kills will push him over the edge

01:20:50.720 --> 01:20:54.080
to get that Kevlar and some extra utility, but it's a bit of a gamble here

01:20:54.080 --> 01:21:00.320
from Ren too.

01:21:00.320 --> 01:21:05.120
Much prefer the angle on top of the pot in ramp from Kha'ez.

01:21:05.120 --> 01:21:09.600
This one's a little bit easier to prefire I feel like, but Shiro's creeping in, and

01:21:09.600 --> 01:21:11.640
maybe that shadow advantage will help out Kha'ez.

01:21:11.640 --> 01:21:14.040
Looking for one more, and don't fall, jump as well.

01:21:14.040 --> 01:21:17.880
That's the bomb, but he sees the orb on the ground and he's like, ooh, shiny, and goes

01:21:17.880 --> 01:21:19.680
a bit too deep for it.

01:21:19.680 --> 01:21:22.480
Hehehehe, but the round's on.

01:21:22.480 --> 01:21:28.760
Poison Chalice in a way, but you're right, he's done the damage and given his team a chance here in the light investment with those two kills.

01:21:28.760 --> 01:21:34.420
Cowars has been a monster here on the server. 21 frags. 17 rounds deep.

01:21:36.380 --> 01:21:38.880
Can his team finish off what he has started?

01:21:40.160 --> 01:21:46.320
Spurs to slow things down. They pump the brakes because they're gonna try and keep the CT side guessing as to where they're gonna go.

01:21:46.320 --> 01:21:49.180
That's a big list from RainTube. Extremely costly.

01:21:49.180 --> 01:21:55.780
Magics has heard the reposition coming through from Connect, he's going to look to close the door in on that player, but it doesn't matter, because T'Niwa holds his own to get both those frags.

01:21:55.780 --> 01:22:00.180
Can Davideus deny the plant? Absolutely. Now with only 18 seconds left, this could port cause a problem.

01:22:00.180 --> 01:22:00.680
Oh!

01:22:00.680 --> 01:22:03.680
He's up as well, and he's going to connect on the shot to finish off the top.

01:22:03.680 --> 01:22:08.980
Oh, Davideus, there's the individual ability from one of the best Chilean players we've ever seen.

01:22:08.980 --> 01:22:11.880
Maybe the best Chilean player we've ever seen.

01:22:11.880 --> 01:22:18.780
That is what we want to see, and that is the kind of round which could get red canners closer to that finish line.

01:22:18.780 --> 01:22:24.180
Oh my goodness, Tonea did so much work, even on low HP to get that second killing connector.

01:22:24.180 --> 01:22:29.020
It felt like they were under complete control for the majority of it until that bomb plant was denied.

01:22:30.700 --> 01:22:33.580
Yeah, what's up with that positioning on the bomb bow, Triv?

01:22:33.580 --> 01:22:36.540
I mean, why hasn't he actually just tucked himself in behind the box completely?

01:22:36.540 --> 01:22:41.580
Because he actually did reposition initially, but he didn't go far away around enough the box

01:22:41.580 --> 01:22:47.260
to actually completely cover himself from CT. Extremely costly mistake there from Tonea.

01:22:47.260 --> 01:22:54.140
Yeah, almost like he was a little bit flustered after those two kills he got and with how low HP he was, he was really panicking to get that plant as ASAP.

01:22:54.140 --> 01:23:00.380
He didn't need to rush it. I thought for sure, Rento missing that shot on Ramp was the round ending mistake.

01:23:01.100 --> 01:23:07.580
But now all of a sudden, with the damage that's been done to Spirit in a couple of these previous rounds, if Red Canis win this one,

01:23:08.460 --> 01:23:11.940
Spirit have no money at 11-7 down. Nightmare!

01:23:11.940 --> 01:23:19.380
Oh man, all of a sudden, and they were kind of coasting back into the game, but losing

01:23:19.380 --> 01:23:23.420
that round throws a big spanner in the works.

01:23:23.420 --> 01:23:27.420
Some questionable decisions made, some mistakes made.

01:23:27.420 --> 01:23:30.860
Red cannons will open up their account during the second half as a result, and like you

01:23:30.860 --> 01:23:36.380
said, when this 11-7 probably becomes 12-7, then Spurt need 5 in a row to force overtime.

01:23:36.380 --> 01:23:42.380
Yeah, it's been a pretty quiet game by the standards of Davideus, but impact kills are

01:23:42.380 --> 01:23:45.020
what matters if they win a single round.

01:23:45.020 --> 01:23:46.980
You've made up for it.

01:23:46.980 --> 01:23:47.980
He's done it.

01:23:47.980 --> 01:23:51.900
And now on B, drop is holding on, Donka's going to go down already, Davideus is there

01:23:51.900 --> 01:23:52.900
to help.

01:23:52.900 --> 01:23:56.180
He knows it's a short play coming through, but he's out of bullets on that M4, now Shade's

01:23:56.180 --> 01:23:57.180
stuck.

01:23:57.180 --> 01:23:58.180
Zontics is looking for him.

01:23:58.180 --> 01:23:59.980
He's the bomb carrier, and he's going to get caught.

01:23:59.980 --> 01:24:02.180
Bomb dropped in apartments, 20 seconds left.

01:24:02.180 --> 01:24:05.100
It's a great kill from Shira, but rotations are in.

01:24:05.100 --> 01:24:08.440
The magic still only has that Mach 10, he can't do anything about it.

01:24:08.440 --> 01:24:10.620
Chiro, can he even get away and save?

01:24:10.620 --> 01:24:13.860
Renji will miss another sitter, he's missed so many shots in this game which really makes

01:24:13.860 --> 01:24:15.380
it even more impressive.

01:24:15.380 --> 01:24:20.860
The red cannons are winning 11-7, they're two away from winning map one.

01:24:20.860 --> 01:24:21.860
After time...

01:24:21.860 --> 01:24:26.100
Oh Chiro could after time, but he will, he's gone and yet he can connect on that shot which

01:24:26.100 --> 01:24:32.820
he doesn't, maximising the pain right now in Onspirit and you can see some serious concern

01:24:32.820 --> 01:24:38.980
looked on their faces, donk head in hands as they're on the brink of this first map getting away from them.

01:24:38.980 --> 01:24:44.900
What a kill to take. Good call by red cannons to rotate into B as they did. They had players in

01:24:44.900 --> 01:24:50.740
insurance policy positions. Again, drop getting very important kills in pressure moments and

01:24:50.740 --> 01:24:58.660
look at the money for Shiro. $350. He can get a smoke and a decoy if he wants. What's that gonna do you? Nothing.

01:24:58.660 --> 01:25:06.060
with only 2400 round loss bonus behind them it's not like it gets much better

01:25:06.060 --> 01:25:09.620
for him in the next spirit don't really have any option but to play for overtime

01:25:09.620 --> 01:25:15.620
from here red cannons have come alive on the CT side super impressive that

01:25:15.620 --> 01:25:18.460
they've been able to jumpstart their campaign after having lost the first

01:25:18.460 --> 01:25:23.180
four rounds with a half by one that brain fade there from Taneer has really

01:25:23.180 --> 01:25:27.020
He caused some havoc now for spirit.

01:25:27.020 --> 01:25:28.300
My word.

01:25:28.300 --> 01:25:33.000
Red Cannons are on the brink of winning this first map in this low bracket affair against

01:25:33.000 --> 01:25:34.000
spirit.

01:25:34.000 --> 01:25:42.860
Ronk is 11 and 14, Trav.

01:25:42.860 --> 01:25:45.420
Not numbers synonymous with him even on his bad days.

01:25:45.420 --> 01:25:50.180
When you combine that with the fact that it's against Red Cannons, it looks even worse.

01:25:50.180 --> 01:25:57.860
they're going with here is the smoke and double flash. A bomb plant will be the goal to get

01:25:57.860 --> 01:26:00.260
any extra money for Shiro.

01:26:00.260 --> 01:26:08.100
I kind of know they have an incredible opportunity here to confirm at least overtime and have

01:26:08.100 --> 01:26:13.580
many opportunities, five opportunities to win map one. As long as it will give that

01:26:13.580 --> 01:26:17.820
one a little bit of a cheeky glance but nothing doing, drop hole in the angle, they've got

01:26:17.820 --> 01:26:23.180
full mid control with short being covered by Navaders, drop covering the underpush.

01:26:26.060 --> 01:26:29.180
This plant is getting less and less likely by the second.

01:26:35.260 --> 01:26:39.020
All signs point from the direction of red cannons getting themselves up to map point

01:26:39.020 --> 01:26:45.500
to mirage their map pick. Five of them to be precise if they can get it done here in round 19.

01:26:45.500 --> 01:26:50.700
They've kind of realized what's going on here ahead of time. They've rotated some players across

01:26:50.700 --> 01:26:54.220
They've got a really good crossfire set up two pairs on the bombsite one on cat

01:26:54.220 --> 01:26:56.900
This should be impossible for spirit to penetrate

01:26:57.620 --> 01:27:01.980
There we go. Just dropping left right and center. It is gonna be spirit

01:27:02.020 --> 01:27:06.820
You're gonna have to win five rounds in a row to force us into all over this is not clean at all

01:27:07.220 --> 01:27:12.980
You can immediately tell even though playing against mostly glocks in this round red can is are so nervous

01:27:12.980 --> 01:27:17.060
there's barely any headshots hitting that round and lots of whiffs they are

01:27:17.060 --> 01:27:21.300
feeling it right now because they know the position they are in their home

01:27:21.300 --> 01:27:29.020
event a chance to pick up a map against the top side what an opportunity

01:27:29.020 --> 01:27:45.260
All right, spirit. Your life here a mirage now hinges by a thread.

01:27:45.260 --> 01:27:48.940
Red cannons on the brink of doing the unthinkable.

01:27:48.940 --> 01:27:52.540
Winning the series? Impossible coming into this game.

01:27:52.540 --> 01:27:56.540
Winning a map? Extremely unlikely.

01:27:56.540 --> 01:27:59.420
But now we have to question everything we know.

01:27:59.420 --> 01:28:06.820
Because red cannons have completely shape-shifted here the entire fabric of this series.

01:28:06.820 --> 01:28:14.380
Rentoo now would be a lovely time to hit some shots, to relieve the pressure on your riflers.

01:28:14.380 --> 01:28:18.340
That one stunning quad kill he got at the end of the first half, got them that 9-3, which

01:28:18.340 --> 01:28:19.740
has been absent since.

01:28:19.740 --> 01:28:23.300
Dong, the magicians have a gap, they're going to work their up connector and that's a lovely

01:28:23.300 --> 01:28:24.300
opening on drop.

01:28:24.300 --> 01:28:29.900
Kowhez is under some pressure. He'll get deleted immediately. And the under-balk player in Davidesch, surely.

01:28:31.100 --> 01:28:34.900
There's nothing we can do with this one. And there we go. A double peek will come through and donk.

01:28:35.500 --> 01:28:40.200
We'll get a double. So, step one of five complete.

01:28:42.500 --> 01:28:47.600
And made to look easy as well as they go through the motions and processes without much of a complication.

01:28:47.600 --> 01:28:53.000
checks and balances all intact four spurred in that round not much of a

01:28:53.000 --> 01:28:56.120
contest in middle able to get a lot further forward than what red cannons

01:28:56.120 --> 01:28:59.840
would have been comfortable with and then just that explosion up connector two

01:28:59.840 --> 01:29:03.400
kills in quick succession then that third added to the tidy soon afterwards

01:29:03.400 --> 01:29:08.440
rent to and shade looking to save their weapons to me

01:29:08.440 --> 01:29:15.160
oh a fat frag found from him and he's got the position now on lock yet or rent

01:29:15.160 --> 01:29:19.780
to a porrento getting destroyed from every witch angle.

01:29:19.780 --> 01:29:24.460
So, I say a lie for one round longer.

01:29:24.460 --> 01:29:25.820
How much longer will it be?

01:29:25.820 --> 01:29:29.640
Red Cannons are gonna use their final timeout of this game.

01:29:30.740 --> 01:29:33.140
They get to overtime, they will be given one more.

01:29:35.060 --> 01:29:36.620
Both teams will obviously.

01:29:36.620 --> 01:29:39.780
And this is what I was talking about earlier,

01:29:39.780 --> 01:29:43.260
where Red Cannons may even be in disbelief

01:29:43.260 --> 01:29:46.620
because obviously there wouldn't have been any pressure coming into the series for them

01:29:46.620 --> 01:29:49.860
knowing they're playing against Spirit, there was no expectation whatsoever.

01:29:49.860 --> 01:29:52.780
All of a sudden, they're on map points of map 1.

01:29:52.780 --> 01:29:56.380
Like you say, they're probably feeling pretty damn nervy right now.

01:29:56.380 --> 01:30:00.320
They've got to continue to do what's worked for them up until this point.

01:30:00.320 --> 01:30:06.260
One moment is all they need to conclude proceedings here on Mirage and get that job done.

01:30:06.260 --> 01:30:13.860
And obviously for those of you who maybe aren't aware, Spirit are playing without Hallie at this event.

01:30:13.860 --> 01:30:18.660
Hallie, the coach, is having some health issues, but we hope he gets better soon.

01:30:18.660 --> 01:30:25.460
Sothick, the academy coach standing in, but Sothick has all the experience in the world.

01:30:25.460 --> 01:30:32.660
With bringing up Donk and Zontex and Artfrost, it would have been at the time the main core of that academy roster.

01:30:32.660 --> 01:30:39.300
I've got to get down to dares do they pulled up the secondary orp and it's a great kill on shiro

01:30:39.860 --> 01:30:46.020
Step one in this gun round to MP 9s on Shane cow as a little bit of a concern

01:30:46.020 --> 01:30:52.860
But drop has an M4 and already with that opening kill spirits are leaving the A bomb site entirely

01:30:55.000 --> 01:31:01.660
Great time to bring the double orps the table here a bit of a gimmick for red canards that normally can at least get you one round in the half

01:31:02.660 --> 01:31:06.460
by virtue of catching your opponent's off guard with that second sniper rifle.

01:31:07.060 --> 01:31:09.660
It has spilled the blood of Shiro already.

01:31:11.060 --> 01:31:13.060
Spirit now clustered together into Ward's middle,

01:31:13.060 --> 01:31:15.660
and Davideus continues to plague them with the second orb.

01:31:15.660 --> 01:31:19.060
Magix has been felled, but now he's going to have to call this round from the sidelines.

01:31:20.460 --> 01:31:24.260
Isn't it crazy that they pull out that secondary orb and immediately it finds impact?

01:31:24.260 --> 01:31:26.260
Oh, it's going to find a third as well.

01:31:26.260 --> 01:31:29.660
Davideus looking to try and end Spirit here once and for all,

01:31:29.660 --> 01:31:32.260
but he does go a little bit overpeaky.

01:31:32.660 --> 01:31:37.660
That is a free beat for Donk on the trade, but there's still two more CTs on this A bomb site.

01:31:37.660 --> 01:31:42.660
Nade into a jungle, they're going to try and cross through, there's still like Kowers MP9,

01:31:42.660 --> 01:31:46.660
and there it is, Zontik's removed, Donk is all alone, 1 vs 4.

01:31:46.660 --> 01:31:52.660
In other situations, I would say absolutely, he wins this one, but there's no time, still finds two,

01:31:52.660 --> 01:31:58.660
three total, an incredible headshot on drop, surely. Not a clutch from Donk at the very last gasp.

01:31:58.660 --> 01:32:07.660
Look where Shea is. He's playing time in Palace. Now he knows he's coming. Oh, it's so nervy jumping at Donk. Who's winning it? It's Shea!

01:32:07.660 --> 01:32:16.660
They made it difficult for themselves, but there's nothing candid about that performance from Red Cannons. That was impressive. Spirit are in trouble.

01:32:17.660 --> 01:32:22.660
Oh, we nearly get that Donk moment that we so desperately desired and you can see the look on his face.

01:32:22.660 --> 01:32:26.660
the look on his face that just believe he cannot fathom the fact that they've lost the map here,

01:32:26.660 --> 01:32:33.700
the first map of the series in this lower bracket. My god, Donk nearly saves the day for Spurt with

01:32:33.700 --> 01:32:40.660
an unbelievable 1v4 attempt, but his efforts go in vain and with that red can it, I've gone up 1-0

01:32:41.220 --> 01:32:45.780
here in this lower bracket second round. It's incredible that Ren 2 was struggling on the

01:32:45.780 --> 01:32:50.920
off for so long in that game. I had one incredible round sure but it's Dada Darius

01:32:50.920 --> 01:32:56.100
picking up that secondary off. Here we go, we see it on the replay. Unbelievable

01:32:56.100 --> 01:33:01.020
multi just when it was required and Red Cannons are in an incredible position.

01:33:01.020 --> 01:33:07.460
Spirit looking like they are nowhere at the moment. 13-8 win for Red Cannons.

01:33:07.460 --> 01:33:10.460
It's Arna O'Reil. We'll see you in a minute.

01:33:37.460 --> 01:34:05.180
Place a match at such a starting point, face it raiding measures your impact as you climb.

01:34:05.180 --> 01:34:09.300
The Soft ELO reset narrows the gap between the highest ELO players and the rest of level

01:34:09.300 --> 01:34:10.300
10.

01:34:10.300 --> 01:34:12.380
Your starting point will be based on your recent ELO inactivity.

01:34:12.380 --> 01:34:16.780
We're introducing Facet Rating so you can see exactly how much you stack up against

01:34:16.780 --> 01:34:18.500
others at your level.

01:34:18.500 --> 01:34:22.140
Facet Rating measures how much your actions have increased your team's chances of winning

01:34:22.140 --> 01:34:26.300
the match, taking into account the whole situation.

01:34:26.300 --> 01:34:28.380
Season 8 launches April 22nd.

01:34:28.380 --> 01:34:29.660
Good luck and have fun!

01:34:35.180 --> 01:35:02.180
I feel that there's no one but I know, those of myself

01:35:02.180 --> 01:35:04.180
I

01:36:02.180 --> 01:36:13.180
I feel the light again

01:36:13.180 --> 01:36:19.180
Tell me myself, so I'll try

01:36:19.180 --> 01:36:21.180
I

01:37:49.180 --> 01:37:51.180
To make a fool out of me

01:37:51.180 --> 01:37:55.180
I was lost in the idea of it all

01:37:55.180 --> 01:37:59.180
Too many years, I'll be sore for it here

01:37:59.180 --> 01:38:02.180
But in power, I'll know

01:38:03.180 --> 01:38:05.180
And I don't know where to run to

01:38:05.180 --> 01:38:07.180
But it could be oblivion

01:38:07.180 --> 01:38:11.180
I dream I was making love to a whole new life

01:38:11.180 --> 01:38:14.180
Now my lesson was I'll skip the reminder

01:38:14.180 --> 01:38:16.180
I would've left for now

01:38:16.180 --> 01:38:18.180
If I turn around

01:38:18.180 --> 01:38:21.180
Let me go

01:38:33.180 --> 01:38:37.180
I need you for the dance and I'm here to give myself

01:38:37.180 --> 01:38:41.180
Picking up the pieces of the puzzle you put up

01:38:41.180 --> 01:38:44.180
Wondering if I could change the thing to make it work

01:38:44.180 --> 01:38:48.180
But I won't be surface-dissurring

01:41:14.180 --> 01:41:28.560
one. And swan did it. Where's

01:41:28.760 --> 01:41:32.160
chopper now, huh? Probably

01:41:32.260 --> 01:41:34.020
streaming. They're throwing

01:41:34.120 --> 01:41:35.260
that fast cross smoke, so

01:41:35.360 --> 01:41:37.560
XSE takes a pot shot. Tuck

01:41:37.660 --> 01:41:39.260
some car and is noted. Oh,

01:41:39.360 --> 01:41:41.260
peaks in clean head shot. It's

01:41:41.360 --> 01:41:42.260
what you want to see. He's got

01:41:42.260 --> 01:41:45.760
Yeah, full blind headshot.

01:41:45.760 --> 01:41:47.360
They're crossing very loud about this.

01:41:47.360 --> 01:41:49.260
Masuta's going to have that first tack.

01:41:49.260 --> 01:41:51.360
Tap, a nice headshot from Masuta.

01:41:51.360 --> 01:41:53.560
He's done very well here.

01:41:53.560 --> 01:41:55.160
Solid as a rock.

01:41:55.160 --> 01:41:57.960
Triple kill from Masuta, starting as they mean to go on.

01:41:57.960 --> 01:42:01.560
OK, well, tempering the pace of G2 with that one.

01:42:01.560 --> 01:42:03.060
Tack very fortunate to get that kill

01:42:03.060 --> 01:42:05.360
while completely blind until that XCC is getting the openings,

01:42:05.360 --> 01:42:07.960
slowing them down, playing towards cart.

01:42:07.960 --> 01:42:08.420
Here it is.

01:42:08.420 --> 01:42:09.120
Bosh.

01:42:09.120 --> 01:42:10.560
Yeah, had a pack to choose from.

01:42:10.560 --> 01:42:17.200
2 there. That second tap. Not too far off. And then Masuda just unleashes. Wiking his

01:42:17.200 --> 01:42:24.780
addition to the team. And in with a force. Sampias boosts it up, gets a tag. Gravity

01:42:24.780 --> 01:42:28.180
brought low. Might want to get out of lower tunnels if he can. That's a Famous that he

01:42:28.180 --> 01:42:37.240
could give over for free. As much as you can, your own peril, Marcus Scout, was surveying.

01:42:37.240 --> 01:42:49.180
I think it was interesting that with that interview as well, Freya touching upon a saying you're playing with less pressure and rather than matters getting into, yeah, well, we had very limited time with TAC, right?

01:42:49.180 --> 01:42:52.400
That just reinforces what I'm talking about in terms of the thin strap book.

01:42:54.160 --> 01:43:02.060
That's what makes it so admirable how competitive they have been, not only against vitality, but the fact that they've got to take this one.

01:43:02.060 --> 01:43:02.560
If hip.

01:43:02.560 --> 01:43:12.560
three. Three. Nuts. Flatten

01:43:12.560 --> 01:43:14.560
the Maca four star fan. The

01:43:14.560 --> 01:43:16.560
A site is just a scout. Looking

01:43:16.560 --> 01:43:18.560
like a second round conversion

01:43:18.560 --> 01:43:20.560
coming to G two's way. 3D Max

01:43:20.560 --> 01:43:25.560
a fumble. Oh, it's me. They tried

01:43:25.560 --> 01:43:27.560
to bring the fight. Just

01:43:27.560 --> 01:43:29.560
flattened by the tech nine of

01:43:29.560 --> 01:43:30.560
nerds. We saw a lot of this as

01:43:30.560 --> 01:43:31.560
well. Pack roll stuff from G

01:43:31.560 --> 01:43:34.520
this one wasn't immediate, but still with that group players,

01:43:35.120 --> 01:43:37.360
tack has been let off the leash to try and hunt gravity down.

01:43:37.360 --> 01:43:39.400
And he's not too far away.

01:43:39.400 --> 01:43:41.360
The low HP on gravity after that scout town.

01:43:41.360 --> 01:43:42.760
He's been noted towards suicide.

01:43:42.760 --> 01:43:45.700
Everyone else will spring to action to remove this and try and wipe the board.

01:43:46.200 --> 01:43:48.160
So gravity is going to do his very best to hold on to this.

01:43:48.160 --> 01:43:51.060
But I think Mattis with this flank should have him dead to rights.

01:43:51.300 --> 01:43:52.460
I'm going to hit the shift key.

01:43:52.600 --> 01:43:53.560
Keep running, gravity.

01:43:53.560 --> 01:43:54.260
You're right where I want.

01:43:54.260 --> 01:43:54.600
Yeah.

01:43:55.500 --> 01:43:57.060
Oh, a moment.

01:43:57.060 --> 01:44:00.060
I thought he was going to try and go for an outlandish knife attempt.

01:44:00.060 --> 01:44:04.060
I mean, it makes sense financially, you know, it would be nice to get the extra injection

01:44:04.060 --> 01:44:08.100
of cash gets and pies on an early AWP presence. But regardless, I mean, winning the second

01:44:08.100 --> 01:44:12.020
round, it's going to kind of redeem the lost pistol. Let's see it from nurses, POV. The

01:44:12.020 --> 01:44:17.420
first couple of clicks just really too easy. I think that's a great way to summarize it.

01:44:17.420 --> 01:44:28.140
Well, the layer of the land is this, you just got owned on your map choice. You've gone

01:44:28.140 --> 01:44:32.180
I had a team hard he said boys. It's fine dust up next we can pull it back. You know, let's bring some energy

01:44:32.180 --> 01:44:35.300
We don't want to get eliminated here. We don't want this to be and you come in you win the pistol and

01:44:36.780 --> 01:44:42.560
Then you just get stripped by a force by so the high that you were just riding from doing the hard work

01:44:42.560 --> 01:44:49.580
Everything you just talked about outside immediately you get reset to the feeling you had on inferno. Yeah, they're very familiar feeling

01:44:49.580 --> 01:45:05.580
to block that either. Cosmo glands. There's a variation that you can throw that is much

01:45:05.580 --> 01:45:17.100
harder to block. Well, clearing out cars. I can't think of the last time I saw the T-side

01:45:17.100 --> 01:45:24.180
with three Famisans, but here we are. How far do they get them? Gravity chips away at

01:45:24.180 --> 01:45:28.420
Mattis gets across the ramp. Another body shot from Lucky's D. Macca will finish off

01:45:28.420 --> 01:45:34.900
the job with his USP. The else really for 3D Max in this one. Gravity, they know he's

01:45:34.900 --> 01:45:40.100
around the smoke somewhere. Wow, uses his D. Well, nails a headshot onto some pious

01:45:40.100 --> 01:45:43.740
before the round. It comes to its foregone conclusion. Yeah, and usually that wasn't

01:45:43.740 --> 01:45:47.620
of force back from 3D Max. That was just a couple of pistols invested. So I guess they're

01:45:47.620 --> 01:45:51.340
going to take another round right now, which is the same, and then go full guns into the

01:45:51.340 --> 01:45:57.660
follow up. I don't see them buying right now with macro at 4K, Masuda at 3.7. This is going

01:45:57.660 --> 01:46:01.260
to be another round that's essentially the same thing. And it's not the most glamorous

01:46:01.260 --> 01:46:04.780
approach. It's also not the most competitive approach, but it does mean that their first

01:46:04.780 --> 01:46:09.100
gun rounds will have an AWP for Macca, all the bells and whistles. You won't be playing

01:46:09.100 --> 01:46:18.100
from behind, being more limited, but also needs to you give G2 a 3-1 lead in the early stages of their map choice, the confidence brewing.

01:46:24.100 --> 01:46:28.100
Mattis, tests the mid hold and the Masuta will fall.

01:46:29.100 --> 01:46:38.100
I think with what we're seeing from G2 and regardless of what happens in that other series, you might even say that G2 are the favorite now.

01:46:39.100 --> 01:46:53.780
We know one sunny day doesn't make a summer, but Red Cannons are feeling hot at the moment.

01:46:53.780 --> 01:46:59.180
They've just taken a map against Spirit and I tell you what, now all the pressure is on

01:46:59.180 --> 01:47:03.060
the favourites shoulders.

01:47:03.060 --> 01:47:04.780
I mean, yeah, it does feel that way.

01:47:04.780 --> 01:47:11.700
I feel like this break would have served them extremely well to try and reset between maps because they've just suffered an anomaly.

01:47:11.700 --> 01:47:16.340
Nobody ever would have expected Spirit to have lost a map against Red Cannons.

01:47:16.340 --> 01:47:23.060
Now the conversation shifts to are they actually going to lose the entire series and get eliminated by Red Cannons?

01:47:23.060 --> 01:47:25.060
Because that would just completely unthink.

01:47:25.060 --> 01:47:29.140
I mean, especially when you look at the Red Cannons team as it stands, right?

01:47:29.140 --> 01:47:33.460
I mean, there haven't even been that great in regional South American tournaments.

01:47:33.460 --> 01:47:36.540
That's something I really want to bring up here going into map two, right?

01:47:36.540 --> 01:47:40.300
Because Ancient coming in here, Red Cannards, they have a 50% win rate on it

01:47:40.300 --> 01:47:41.340
with 20 games played.

01:47:41.340 --> 01:47:43.380
It's way more than Spirit Play Ancient,

01:47:43.380 --> 01:47:46.740
because in general, Red Cannards play more matches than Spirit do.

01:47:46.740 --> 01:47:48.540
They're grinders, of course.

01:47:48.540 --> 01:47:50.780
But they've lost to a team called Dash,

01:47:50.780 --> 01:47:52.860
which aren't a very good team in South America,

01:47:52.860 --> 01:47:54.420
a local LAN in Brazil.

01:47:54.420 --> 01:47:57.580
And they've also lost to teams like Marsbourne and 9Z,

01:47:57.580 --> 01:48:00.380
and Audic as well in ESL Challenger League.

01:48:00.380 --> 01:48:03.660
So they haven't really got much form on this map.

01:48:03.660 --> 01:48:07.780
If Spirit want to answer back, well, if they want to, they have to.

01:48:07.900 --> 01:48:08.780
It should be here.

01:48:10.620 --> 01:48:14.780
I mean, Red Canna's even got hammered by Gentlemates on this very map yesterday.

01:48:14.780 --> 01:48:18.100
A 13-4 loss was what they suffered against the Spaniards.

01:48:18.500 --> 01:48:24.500
So surely, surely this will not be done into Spirit looking to try and turn up the paces.

01:48:24.500 --> 01:48:26.300
They charge through Donut and towards the same bombsite

01:48:26.300 --> 01:48:28.260
and they're just going to thrust themselves straight through that smoke.

01:48:28.260 --> 01:48:31.980
The game plan was always to get the trade and they've managed that successfully.

01:48:31.980 --> 01:48:35.580
There's a lot of pressure here from Red Cannons, they're looking to try and unsettle Spurt

01:48:35.580 --> 01:48:38.260
before they actually get the bomb done, but Spurt will hold their own.

01:48:38.260 --> 01:48:40.100
And they just want to continue to force these fights.

01:48:40.100 --> 01:48:43.500
They're really looking to kickstart their campaign here on the second map.

01:48:43.500 --> 01:48:47.980
So 2v2 temporarily on the A bomb site, but Magix won't activate.

01:48:47.980 --> 01:48:51.140
They know where he is, so they might try and force the issue a bit quicker

01:48:51.140 --> 01:48:54.620
on the A site to anywhere near that bomb.

01:48:54.620 --> 01:48:57.740
But I think they now realise they're pinched it and they're just looking for the kills.

01:48:57.740 --> 01:49:02.240
And if that option being taken, it's not going to work out all too well.

01:49:02.240 --> 01:49:04.140
Spirit are going to hold on, so on six we'll get the kill.

01:49:04.140 --> 01:49:06.340
And today, we'll finish it off with a triple.

01:49:06.340 --> 01:49:08.640
And Spirit will start well on ancients.

01:49:10.740 --> 01:49:13.040
As they did on Mirage, they're three for three in pistols,

01:49:13.040 --> 01:49:14.340
if you can even believe it.

01:49:14.340 --> 01:49:19.240
They lost map 113-8 after having won both pistol rounds on Mirage.

01:49:19.240 --> 01:49:21.440
They even converted their pistol rounds as well, Triumph.

01:49:21.440 --> 01:49:22.840
It's not like, okay, they won the pistol,

01:49:22.840 --> 01:49:24.540
but then they lost to the four straight afterwards.

01:49:24.540 --> 01:49:34.540
Haha! On both halves they won the second round which makes it even more catastrophic and unbelievable that they got that map got away from them.

01:49:38.540 --> 01:49:40.540
The natural force.

01:49:40.540 --> 01:49:44.540
This is history in the making and Spirit do not want to be on the wrong side of this history.

01:49:44.540 --> 01:49:47.540
Fun enough where it can't even have history on the team anymore.

01:49:47.540 --> 01:49:54.260
True, good attempt from Kalez, but Donk is always going to get the frag and there we

01:49:54.260 --> 01:49:55.260
go.

01:49:55.260 --> 01:49:56.260
Drops in with the MP9.

01:49:56.260 --> 01:50:03.060
Will manage to get Donk out of the round, but the force won't pay off and Spirit Forcing

01:50:03.060 --> 01:50:04.900
their way into B will pay off.

01:50:04.900 --> 01:50:08.660
It'll be a 2-0 start and have a day or two until we'll try and keep what they've got

01:50:08.660 --> 01:50:15.660
to have something to use in round three.

01:50:15.660 --> 01:50:22.660
This is good for Spurge to settle themselves into the game here because those cracks from

01:50:22.660 --> 01:50:28.580
Mirage would very quickly start to creep into here on Ancient if they got off to a poor

01:50:28.580 --> 01:50:33.140
start as well. Instead, with the strong start, they can paper over those cracks and start

01:50:33.140 --> 01:50:35.260
to build themselves into the second map.

01:50:35.260 --> 01:50:43.920
And yes, for those of you who are just joining the broadcast, that dot at white square on

01:50:43.920 --> 01:50:48.160
your screen at the top of the scoreboard, that's on a bug, really is one map to Red

01:50:48.160 --> 01:50:51.160
Cannons.

01:50:51.160 --> 01:50:58.060
13-8 as well, like I said, it was dominant.

01:50:58.060 --> 01:51:00.000
Gun rounds looked so good.

01:51:00.000 --> 01:51:05.680
were extremely sharp for red cannons as well, which is very impressive.

01:51:05.680 --> 01:51:10.440
Outgunning, Spirit was not a sin since I expected to say coming into this broadcast, but that

01:51:10.440 --> 01:51:13.320
absolutely was the case on the previous map.

01:51:13.320 --> 01:51:22.040
I feel like there's going to be an element of Spirit, just like I said, looking to kick

01:51:22.040 --> 01:51:25.860
start their campaign here on Ancient by brute forcing their way through these first couple

01:51:25.860 --> 01:51:31.660
of rounds and just trying to boss red candidates to remind them who the real boss is on the

01:51:31.660 --> 01:51:32.660
server.

01:51:32.660 --> 01:51:35.780
Yeah, there's that sort of thought process to it, I think.

01:51:35.780 --> 01:51:41.140
I think there were certain moments on Mirage where Spirit tried to play like the dominant

01:51:41.140 --> 01:51:42.140
team.

01:51:42.140 --> 01:51:46.300
They tried to play assertive and played like they're the favourites, which obviously they

01:51:46.300 --> 01:51:47.300
are.

01:51:47.300 --> 01:51:52.700
Without Halley on the team in the coach slot for this event.

01:51:52.700 --> 01:51:58.220
Yeah, we can has had a couple of individual moments. I mean rent to getting that crazy quad killer the end of the first half

01:51:58.220 --> 01:52:00.740
Which is one impactful round of the game

01:52:02.180 --> 01:52:06.180
That was superb and then dada desk decides well and to you're missing a few shots

01:52:06.180 --> 01:52:10.140
I'm gonna take matters into my own hands. He grabs a secondary or but then gets a crazy triple

01:52:10.620 --> 01:52:13.340
To help assist that final round

01:52:13.940 --> 01:52:20.660
It's an absolutely incredible that donk attempt went down to that closer clutch with Shea in Palace

01:52:20.660 --> 01:52:25.540
some baffled that it got that far, but Shay got it done jumping around with that MP9 using

01:52:25.540 --> 01:52:29.620
that movement accuracy. You know, that wasn't there for the MP9 relatively recently.

01:52:29.620 --> 01:52:36.180
Yeah. I mean, one versus four in like 20 seconds was what Doggunk had to try and deal with and

01:52:36.180 --> 01:52:40.100
he got extremely close to making it happen. And it was actually really good to see that

01:52:40.100 --> 01:52:45.060
Shay didn't choke that one out because I feel like most players in that situation just almost

01:52:45.060 --> 01:52:48.420
like a deer in the headlights get completely shell shocked and have no idea what to do.

01:52:48.420 --> 01:52:51.860
But he didn't give himself any time to actually think about it, right?

01:52:51.860 --> 01:52:56.900
Because like you say, he just kept jumping around and then she was able to finish off the job

01:52:56.900 --> 01:53:00.900
and complete the map for his team and make good of that ridiculous multi-alert dava.

01:53:00.900 --> 01:53:06.180
There's the second AWP as we now sink our teeth into the first gun round here on Ancient.

01:53:14.020 --> 01:53:18.180
It's funny, I mean, I mentioned that Red Canyon's play a lot more than Spirits

01:53:18.180 --> 01:53:22.980
because they grind out those local lands in South America to try and make the

01:53:22.980 --> 01:53:26.580
major and try and get better as a team, try and get Ren to a little bit more

01:53:26.580 --> 01:53:32.260
experience. The reminder it says HLTV debut at the beginning of the year, this is

01:53:32.260 --> 01:53:37.220
big event debut, S tier debut, whatever you want to call it, and now he's played

01:53:37.220 --> 01:53:41.300
both Xayu and Donk at his first event. That is not something most players can talk about.

01:53:43.140 --> 01:53:46.980
Yeah what a sculpt this would be as well and then there'd be one best to three

01:53:46.980 --> 01:53:51.160
away from getting themselves in the arena. And if you beat Spirit, the lot would give

01:53:51.160 --> 01:53:56.000
you all the belief in the world that you could get the job done. Simple and direct is the

01:53:56.000 --> 01:53:59.440
name of the game. You're from Spirit, just surging their way in towards this beat bombsite.

01:53:59.440 --> 01:54:04.160
I suspected this would be the game plan from them. Brilliant utility usage there. Shea and

01:54:04.160 --> 01:54:05.760
Drop never stood a chance.

01:54:05.760 --> 01:54:12.680
This is a little bit more like it. 4-0 will be the score and Red Cannons might not even

01:54:12.680 --> 01:54:16.920
be able to save here because I think the hunt will already begin in a matter of moments

01:54:16.920 --> 01:54:19.720
Shiro still has that Mach 10, there's no reason for him to keep hold of it.

01:54:19.720 --> 01:54:27.040
He should be pressing W and looking for the exiting Davadas, Rento or Kawa as ASAP.

01:54:29.200 --> 01:54:31.320
There we go, they've all left the bomb now.

01:54:31.320 --> 01:54:36.000
Made sure they've come at this saving attempt from Red Canis from three different angles too,

01:54:36.000 --> 01:54:39.680
so they know that there's been no one to slip a gap and get a crazy ninja or something like that.

01:54:39.680 --> 01:54:40.880
All angles have been cleared.

01:54:40.880 --> 01:54:48.000
Yeah, these kills would go a long way as well, so they can pry at least two of these three

01:54:48.000 --> 01:54:50.360
guns out of the hands of these red cannons players.

01:54:50.360 --> 01:54:54.180
It means that they actually won't have enough money to justify the buy in the next.

01:54:54.180 --> 01:54:58.600
And there are those two kills I was talking about in a whole no way!

01:54:58.600 --> 01:55:04.440
In the last tick of the round, Donk is gonna round the corner, demolish Rento, send him

01:55:04.440 --> 01:55:05.440
packing.

01:55:05.440 --> 01:55:07.080
No survivors for red cannons.

01:55:07.080 --> 01:55:09.880
A spirit of coming to map two with the bang.

01:55:09.880 --> 01:55:11.880
Yeah, not much you can do about that

01:55:17.040 --> 01:55:21.800
Look at the buy they had on the half back down to the five sevens and deagles and MP9's I

01:55:23.400 --> 01:55:27.580
Would like to see red can his play. Oh, there we go. That's classic dog

01:55:28.360 --> 01:55:34.500
The D transfer that was his signature on this map for many a moon and still kind of is in a way

01:55:34.500 --> 01:55:41.940
I think so. I don't know if he's being pressured from Jaguar, but poor drop. Oh, that's a check.

01:55:41.940 --> 01:55:48.780
Check and play. So well done from him. I mean, shows us against the half by, but really just

01:55:48.780 --> 01:55:54.420
flexing his muscles right now is Mr. Don can maybe that little 1v4 attempt at the end of

01:55:54.420 --> 01:55:59.100
Mirage kind of brought him back into the fray here to a degree because obviously he was nowhere

01:55:59.100 --> 01:56:04.380
to be found throughout the rest of the map. Completely unlike what we're expected to

01:56:04.380 --> 01:56:11.660
see from him. And yeah, you're right, yesterday as well was unheard of from the young destroyer.

01:56:14.780 --> 01:56:19.980
But now, five kills and we're in the fifth round, therefore red canids across the board.

01:56:19.980 --> 01:56:22.780
There's a sixth at least as the ragdoll goes flying.

01:56:24.220 --> 01:56:27.260
I have a dare, so do you got a big moment here with the stairs and eagles on the right side

01:56:27.260 --> 01:56:29.260
He's got the pillar to play

01:56:29.260 --> 01:56:31.260
around, but he can't connect on

01:56:31.260 --> 01:56:33.260
that first shot. A little bit

01:56:33.260 --> 01:56:35.260
more invigorating hand slacks

01:56:35.260 --> 01:56:37.260
from Donk as well. You can tell

01:56:37.260 --> 01:56:39.260
that the motivation never wanes.

01:56:39.260 --> 01:56:41.260
He's always been very matter of

01:56:41.260 --> 01:56:43.260
fact in every interview he's

01:56:43.260 --> 01:56:45.260
ever done and anything he's

01:56:45.260 --> 01:56:47.260
ever said to anyone, really

01:56:47.260 --> 01:56:49.260
teammates or talent or any

01:56:49.260 --> 01:56:51.260
publication. He just wants to win

01:56:51.260 --> 01:56:53.260
whatever it takes and

01:56:53.260 --> 01:56:55.260
replace badly or not.

01:56:57.260 --> 01:57:02.820
So, not nearly as stoic as someone like Sonic's in terms of what sort of emotions he's feeling.

01:57:02.820 --> 01:57:08.700
It's always very easy to get a read on the state of mind of Mr. Dong based on his player cam.

01:57:08.700 --> 01:57:11.780
That's for sure. He doesn't shy away from showing his emotions.

01:57:11.780 --> 01:57:16.020
As we see red cannons looking to try and take initiative around Six trying to open up their accounts.

01:57:16.020 --> 01:57:19.660
It's going to be DongToe who opens up the speed bomb site with a great opening kill on Rain 2.

01:57:19.660 --> 01:57:21.820
And that's going to allow for his teammates to come through straight afterwards.

01:57:21.820 --> 01:57:24.180
A brilliant flash from the Shea who's chased back in the corner.

01:57:24.180 --> 01:57:26.020
A hunter down by Dong himself again.

01:57:26.020 --> 01:57:30.020
I think it's fair to say that normal services has resumed already.

01:57:30.020 --> 01:57:33.020
Paul Rento is having a bit of a shocker.

01:57:33.020 --> 01:57:36.020
I mean, they had plenty of time to get that kill on ramp,

01:57:36.020 --> 01:57:38.020
but just whiffed pretty much everything,

01:57:38.020 --> 01:57:40.020
and that is probably what comes with the nerves

01:57:40.020 --> 01:57:44.020
and the hype of winning that opening map

01:57:44.020 --> 01:57:47.020
and just it being your first big event in general.

01:57:47.020 --> 01:57:51.020
Sure, it's now vague comfort that your first big STLan

01:57:51.020 --> 01:57:53.020
is one in your home country.

01:57:53.020 --> 01:57:59.740
like he's had to travel into Europe for the first time to play this event but yeah he's um

01:58:01.420 --> 01:58:03.580
kindly put he's being outclassed at the moment

01:58:07.980 --> 01:58:12.700
yeah i mean you would have expected anything less of this level of the game to be completely real

01:58:17.260 --> 01:58:21.260
i hope you say return to schedule program and coming through here with the series between

01:58:21.260 --> 01:58:26.220
spirit and red canids. Fantastic start here for the favourites to try and look to bed what

01:58:26.220 --> 01:58:35.340
a transpired on that previous map. Bit of a rude awakening for red canids.

01:58:35.340 --> 01:58:45.420
Yeah, and we came into the series saying we wanted to see Donk look like Donk again after

01:58:45.420 --> 01:58:53.700
what Falcons did to him yesterday. Magic's once again his comfort place on the team as

01:58:53.700 --> 01:59:06.940
we know. The troll right hand. And yeah, already he's trying to warm back in on ancient. Yeah,

01:59:06.940 --> 01:59:11.880
I mean, I think it's always been a thing that's been synonymous with some of the biggest talents

01:59:11.880 --> 01:59:17.480
in any world sport, they more often than not wear their heart on their shoulder and uh yeah as you mentioned Donk is

01:59:18.920 --> 01:59:23.960
exactly like that as well. At the moment Red Canis I'd love to see them throw a little bit more

01:59:23.960 --> 01:59:29.400
caution to the wind because nothing is going right right now and this is a free hit on ancients like

01:59:29.400 --> 01:59:33.000
you know you really shouldn't be a map up anyway even though you play so damn well just press

01:59:33.000 --> 01:59:37.800
a bit w a little bit try and get in the faces of spirit don't treat them with respect and see where

01:59:37.800 --> 01:59:40.880
it gets you. It has got them a kill back this time on Calvary.

01:59:40.880 --> 01:59:47.060
I feel like they have tried that a little bit already with their swinging in towards

01:59:47.060 --> 01:59:50.260
murder and some early jewels being taken, but you are right that I like the words you

01:59:50.260 --> 01:59:54.700
use there for your hit. I think that's a great way to describe what ancient is for them,

01:59:54.700 --> 01:59:59.020
but right now they're the ones who have been clapped in the server and it's a great read

01:59:59.020 --> 02:00:02.860
from Spirits after that early death goes down over towards the B bomb site and they get

02:00:02.860 --> 02:00:06.840
that kill on donut they just use that to ride their way into a vacant A site

02:00:06.840 --> 02:00:12.940
flawless here from a spurt as they assume full control

02:00:13.580 --> 02:00:19.780
there also was a life game from Kawa's Amaraj must be said a 2.01 rating from

02:00:19.780 --> 02:00:26.260
him by far his best performance against a tier 1 team in his career odds of that

02:00:26.260 --> 02:00:30.820
have happened the odds of that happening were extremely low odds of him

02:00:30.820 --> 02:00:33.280
Replicating that performance twice in one series?

02:00:34.000 --> 02:00:37.620
Surely zero. So we're gonna need to see the rest of the team trying to find

02:00:38.060 --> 02:00:42.900
Some sort of a semblance of that level here as well. There's gonna be any chance for red cannons

02:00:42.900 --> 02:00:46.840
Again, they're hunting the saving players of Shane Cowares. We're not one for this world

02:00:46.900 --> 02:00:53.460
There goes cowares and Shane now stuck in Jaguar, but he's to scarper in time. So he's done well

02:00:53.820 --> 02:00:58.780
But yeah, I mean again as I said before the map began not a good map really for red cannons at all

02:00:58.780 --> 02:01:03.380
They've managed to find a way to beat Sharks on the map by regional rival, but the only

02:01:03.380 --> 02:01:09.260
regional rival they've beaten recently is Galoreys at that Betboom Circuit X LAN.

02:01:09.260 --> 02:01:13.420
Previously they had lost to 9Z twice, Dash, which I mentioned at that Fergie in-house

02:01:13.420 --> 02:01:14.420
tournament.

02:01:14.420 --> 02:01:17.980
And they've also lost to Marsborne.

02:01:17.980 --> 02:01:21.940
And there's some North American fans in chat, Marsborne mentioned, that was an overtime

02:01:21.940 --> 02:01:24.660
loss against Marsborne, which was not a good look.

02:01:24.660 --> 02:01:28.140
And as you said earlier, I mean, Gentlemates destroyed them yesterday on 13-4.

02:01:28.140 --> 02:01:33.480
So, maybe this is to be expected, this probably is what Mirage would have looked like, but

02:01:33.480 --> 02:01:39.440
as I said, pre-hit, see what they can do, but at the moment, spirit, know what they

02:01:39.440 --> 02:01:41.640
can do, and they're in full control.

02:01:41.640 --> 02:01:47.940
It's also very good to see that they've been able to reset like this, even without Halley

02:01:47.940 --> 02:01:52.000
between maps, just try and pull the team back in line, give them some advice, just get them

02:01:52.000 --> 02:01:54.200
levelheaded once again.

02:01:54.200 --> 02:01:58.360
This is going to be a big test for Magix and the infancy of his IGL and career as well,

02:01:58.360 --> 02:02:03.080
suffering a map loss like that against Red Cannons and then being in a position where

02:02:03.080 --> 02:02:07.920
he has to like, regalvanize the team and get everybody with their heads back in the game

02:02:07.920 --> 02:02:12.200
and make sure he keeps his head in the game.

02:02:12.200 --> 02:02:13.680
So it's a challenge in that regard.

02:02:13.680 --> 02:02:17.680
A bit of a challenge here in the round for Red Cannons as they're able to make something

02:02:17.680 --> 02:02:22.560
work with these weaker weapons, couple pistol kills coming through for them all of a sudden

02:02:22.560 --> 02:02:26.120
to 5 vs 2. Look at that, they're such a play for that, and we even drop will get a kill

02:02:26.120 --> 02:02:32.280
through the wooden cave. So, all of a sudden, out of completely nowhere, they get a little

02:02:32.280 --> 02:02:38.120
bit more lackadaisical and get punished for it. That 5-7 stack gets all the damage, rifles

02:02:38.120 --> 02:02:42.840
can be picked up for free, with all five players alive, that'll do wonders for their money.

02:02:42.840 --> 02:02:48.480
Yeah, absolutely. I was just about to say, we have had a 13-0 on ancients already with

02:02:48.480 --> 02:02:51.400
and I'll be besting Bait on that map two days ago.

02:02:51.400 --> 02:02:53.320
And I'm glad I didn't say it before this round,

02:02:53.320 --> 02:02:55.840
because then I would have been accused of,

02:02:55.840 --> 02:02:57.440
obviously, tinkering it.

02:02:57.440 --> 02:02:59.680
However, it's gonna be a red cannon

02:02:59.680 --> 02:03:01.800
to get the round done and then make it look easy.

02:03:01.800 --> 02:03:05.080
Like you say, maybe Spirit just getting a little bit relaxed

02:03:05.080 --> 02:03:06.720
there in that round, a little bit complacent

02:03:06.720 --> 02:03:07.920
and it's gonna cost us a head-man.

02:03:07.920 --> 02:03:11.640
Whatever we say, we'll always be accused

02:03:11.640 --> 02:03:13.440
of cast the cursing things.

02:03:13.440 --> 02:03:17.320
I don't believe in it personally, but there we are.

02:03:17.320 --> 02:03:19.100
Watch this. Donk's gonna get a crazy entry.

02:03:19.100 --> 02:03:20.400
So he didn't curse that one.

02:03:20.400 --> 02:03:21.840
Davadayus will...

02:03:21.840 --> 02:03:24.340
Davadayus will go down immediately.

02:03:24.340 --> 02:03:26.920
And now he's trying to press the issues

02:03:26.920 --> 02:03:27.960
from further behind the smoke.

02:03:27.960 --> 02:03:30.580
And Shay has no idea how to make a novel renaissance.

02:03:30.580 --> 02:03:32.960
They're giving it cursory glances, but Donk's ready.

02:03:32.960 --> 02:03:34.980
More ready than ever before.

02:03:34.980 --> 02:03:36.620
And look at the third.

02:03:36.620 --> 02:03:38.480
A clean tap on Shay.

02:03:38.480 --> 02:03:41.280
And he'll say bye bye in this round.

02:03:41.280 --> 02:03:43.640
Donk's looking for them all pushing through red.

02:03:43.640 --> 02:03:45.140
Two players were siding here.

02:03:45.140 --> 02:03:50.020
to try and clear every single angle. ESE's drop. Oh, it was so close to the fourth and you could tell

02:03:50.020 --> 02:03:56.260
he really wanted that fourth on the possible ace, but in the end all that matters is that Spirit win

02:03:56.260 --> 02:04:02.500
another clean round. It's going to be 8-1 and Tanea is roundly on these two saving players as well.

02:04:02.500 --> 02:04:07.780
Karras is more stuck than the stuck thing in this corner. He's trying to brawl his way out,

02:04:07.780 --> 02:04:13.860
but he'll get traded by Tanea and now as you can see, Donk knows this is what it is more like for

02:04:13.860 --> 02:04:20.860
spirit. Yeah, brilliant round coming through from and bouncing back immediately after they

02:04:20.860 --> 02:04:24.540
lost to the half-buyer as well as a key win there for spirit just to make sure that there's

02:04:24.540 --> 02:04:30.020
no momentum whatsoever born off of that round when they're four red canards. You see that

02:04:30.020 --> 02:04:35.460
graph that came out from Luz Reposer recently about first bullet accuracy? I didn't, but

02:04:35.460 --> 02:04:40.980
I know he does good content. Educate me. So who's at the top? Have a guess. Is it Donk

02:04:40.980 --> 02:04:45.940
by chance. It's not Donk. It's not Donk, which was crazy. It's frozen. Frozen has got the

02:04:45.940 --> 02:04:51.620
first bullet act, the best first bullet accuracy out of any tier one player, which is just

02:04:51.620 --> 02:04:57.420
ridiculous. Donk is obviously right up there, but it's the top three frozen rops and Donk.

02:04:57.420 --> 02:05:05.180
There you go. Save Frozen. Any agreeers on that one? I'd imagine so. Just everybody watching

02:05:05.180 --> 02:05:13.620
the same. Good kill from Shay. Today we'll go down. Get a couple of consolation rounds

02:05:13.620 --> 02:05:18.020
at the end of this half, nine, three, eight, four. This will keep them in the conversation.

02:05:18.020 --> 02:05:24.220
If it's a 10, two, eleven, one, we know it's 100% cooked. It'll be a nicely cooked meal

02:05:24.220 --> 02:05:31.060
for Team Spirit to get to overpass ASAP. I said earlier, right? I mean, we were thinking

02:05:31.060 --> 02:05:36.660
that overpass would never be happening between these two, but Shay was brilliant against

02:05:36.660 --> 02:05:41.980
Gentlemates on overpass yesterday. If you can rekindle some of that, then you might still

02:05:41.980 --> 02:05:47.060
have a game rather than what we are expecting to be, a bit of a walkover in map 2 and 3.

02:05:47.060 --> 02:05:51.060
Got to holding on really well here though. Get some stuff for Double on Donk and Zontics.

02:05:51.060 --> 02:05:55.380
Now Kawerz knows what's going on. He might use to push ramp here, one of the more unexpected

02:05:55.380 --> 02:06:00.580
places to be at this stage of the round, but look where Magix is. And Ren too. And then

02:06:00.580 --> 02:06:05.580
Magic's lost alive. Oh, he's got a freebie, but I don't think it's going to have any impact in the round, thankfully.

02:06:05.580 --> 02:06:12.580
Never mind. Friend 2 reads it well, falls all the way back, even making noise with it, plays it a bit safer, and gets a nice kill.

02:06:12.580 --> 02:06:14.580
So that's two red cannons.

02:06:17.580 --> 02:06:24.580
Really well done coming through there to at least get themselves a second run and try and give themselves something to work with going into the second half.

02:06:24.580 --> 02:06:28.340
half mean obviously even if they win these last two to get eight four on the

02:06:28.340 --> 02:06:33.420
board that would be far from desirable but it means that on paper they haven't

02:06:33.420 --> 02:06:36.780
lost the map in the first half.

02:06:44.380 --> 02:06:48.180
I ain't about to be taken.

02:06:48.460 --> 02:06:52.820
Pretty fast opening to the map for Spirit with how they went about things and

02:06:52.820 --> 02:06:56.780
Looks like they're gonna run it back here and Karras was not ready. That's more of the

02:06:57.620 --> 02:07:00.440
Explosive teneer we saw from the gun five of heroic days

02:07:02.220 --> 02:07:04.980
No holds barred B Bumsite taken and

02:07:06.860 --> 02:07:11.500
Sure the red can rotation is multiple on shelf when we go for a flank

02:07:11.500 --> 02:07:15.920
But there's on ticks are still there to hold for that alongside shiro and that smoke is covering it off

02:07:16.220 --> 02:07:17.760
Make that retaking possible

02:07:17.760 --> 02:07:20.560
So even with the money in the bank they've got going to the far end of the half

02:07:20.560 --> 02:07:24.400
they're already committing to a save because they know they're probably going to be hunted anyway.

02:07:26.640 --> 02:07:30.800
Yeah, true. I mean, they have been already at once at one point in this half. It's

02:07:30.800 --> 02:07:34.240
spurred going back to their good old faithful that that's just been their default when they've

02:07:34.240 --> 02:07:38.480
lost around is all right. Let's just brute force our way back into B. As you say, they catch carways

02:07:38.480 --> 02:07:42.800
completely off guard by progressing forward before he's even been able to drop that smokes.

02:07:42.800 --> 02:07:46.800
They're already way advanced ahead of that smoke grenade. Get that kill on carways and with one

02:07:46.800 --> 02:07:51.840
frag that's already round over. And now, I mean, now it is map over in the first half,

02:07:51.840 --> 02:07:56.080
even though this is 9-3, there's no world in which Red Cannons are going to be able to come

02:07:56.080 --> 02:08:01.520
back from a 9-3 deficit on the T side of agents against this informed spirit. You have looked

02:08:01.520 --> 02:08:06.800
a hell of a lot better. The rest of the team doing their job to a really good level as well.

02:08:07.360 --> 02:08:08.480
Far more convincing.

02:08:08.480 --> 02:08:18.400
It is. And right now the focus is just getting themselves out of this small hole. They are

02:08:18.400 --> 02:08:22.960
dug for themselves, but they'll know it's only a very, very small step on where they

02:08:22.960 --> 02:08:28.600
want to be. I mentioned that their form, how inconsistent it's been since those changes

02:08:28.600 --> 02:08:33.880
that have come through to the team. I think I was pretty happy that they brought Zontox

02:08:33.880 --> 02:08:39.160
back and moved to near into something a bit more comfortable, but somebody found out that

02:08:39.160 --> 02:08:44.440
way to begin with and it's looked very uncomfortable overall for the entire team. At least this

02:08:44.440 --> 02:08:50.360
game which should have been way more comfortable than this is looking a bit more free for Spirit

02:08:50.360 --> 02:08:54.840
here. Davideus is going to try and make something happen with the M4 in middle this time, pushing

02:08:54.840 --> 02:08:59.480
around this smoke. Donk is a late entry on this occasion and there's nothing you can do sometimes

02:08:59.480 --> 02:09:05.700
when Donk is on the other side and then the example of it that last line up

02:09:05.700 --> 02:09:09.560
there from drop to actually take down his opposite number I gel versus I gel not

02:09:09.560 --> 02:09:13.760
really a duel more just a crowd coming through there from drop to bring it back

02:09:13.760 --> 02:09:19.320
into a four versus four as spirit will set their sights in on a donk left his

02:09:19.320 --> 02:09:24.360
own devices on middle he's gonna have to hold this ground here to and circumvent

02:09:24.360 --> 02:09:29.280
any rogues rotations try and keep this donut player focused in on middle as

02:09:29.280 --> 02:09:34.640
Well, I'm a Julie, taking Win-Gonks in this sort of form, but she says I don't care, destroys him

02:09:34.640 --> 02:09:39.080
And that's gonna allow for him to have his attention back into A, he's gonna drop this advance smoke to give himself a bit of room to work with

02:09:39.080 --> 02:09:41.640
But T'Nia will deny with a really well timed spray

02:09:42.120 --> 02:09:47.060
Smoke doesn't completely expose the planter and rents him with the no scope on the follow-up though

02:09:47.400 --> 02:09:51.800
Extremely unlikely on that second attempt, but he's actually gotten the frags. I need to make something happen

02:09:52.200 --> 02:09:57.400
From Temple, but it's a look away as soon as two players in clutch in his position and then just ignores it entirely

02:09:57.400 --> 02:10:02.400
OK, Zontics, but a miscommunication there maybe. What could Shirou do with the rifle?

02:10:02.400 --> 02:10:06.400
Behind default box, against Rento, Drop and Kara as there's one tap.

02:10:06.400 --> 02:10:09.400
Looking for a second, even getting encroached upon by Rento.

02:10:09.400 --> 02:10:11.400
Shots have been missed, but Drop will figure it out.

02:10:11.400 --> 02:10:16.400
The Red Canids do manage to scrounge a third round at the end of that half.

02:10:16.400 --> 02:10:19.400
They got a 9-3 on map 1, they won the map, but Spirits are 9-3 up here.

02:10:19.400 --> 02:10:22.400
They should win the map. Let's see if they can in a few minutes.

02:13:27.400 --> 02:13:40.480
Well, like the spirit we know and love, both in the server and out of the server, with

02:13:40.480 --> 02:13:45.640
the attitudes on the side of Donk and Magix, but the support between the two of them, they

02:13:45.640 --> 02:13:49.320
need it right now because they're still a map down, they haven't secured Ancient yet,

02:13:49.320 --> 02:13:54.840
but it should be done in a matter of minutes.

02:13:54.840 --> 02:13:59.400
the direction that the game is trending in right now spurts in complete control and there should

02:13:59.400 --> 02:14:04.600
be no world in which that wanes here on ancient completely destined to take this to the decider

02:14:04.600 --> 02:14:11.160
which would be overpass and will be overpass I say with all the confidence I have in spur

02:14:11.160 --> 02:14:15.400
finishing off the job and I mean they may be on the CT side but that's not going to stop them from

02:14:15.400 --> 02:14:18.680
attacking here in the pistol. Yeah ready I mean look in the middle to see if red cannons are

02:14:18.680 --> 02:14:24.420
are preparing for a shout, but they're going to see the Jaguar sapping stead. Now Shura

02:14:24.420 --> 02:14:29.480
with the Dually's immediate double kill. Two guns are better than one and maybe he's going

02:14:29.480 --> 02:14:36.340
to get three kills. Beautifully held. And now Ren2 and Shae are left a little bit confused

02:14:36.340 --> 02:14:41.460
about what to do next. Ren2 might be the player with the utility, but the unfortunate part

02:14:41.460 --> 02:14:46.580
is he's got no teammates around him to use it for. And that bomb, of course, also dropped

02:14:46.580 --> 02:14:52.020
on the edge of Jag. Try and put Molly in there to force a couple of players at bay, but Shiro

02:14:52.020 --> 02:14:56.020
is not being cleared, and maybe it could be a Shiro moment here. There is four going for

02:14:56.020 --> 02:15:01.380
the reload, almost jumps at the last player with the knife, but who cares, because Donk's

02:15:01.380 --> 02:15:06.900
there to help. So important round to sort of the second half for Shiro. Nice quad to

02:15:06.900 --> 02:15:09.100
get them to double digits.

02:15:09.100 --> 02:15:15.500
Sheriff Shiro on the scene slaughters the foxes. My goodness, he goes hunting, and he

02:15:15.500 --> 02:15:18.540
He does a brilliant job by finding all of those kills, I mean the fact that he's even

02:15:18.540 --> 02:15:22.040
able to get those first two frags initially and then he even has time to get the smoke

02:15:22.040 --> 02:15:25.960
grenade out and then get the pistols back to that third kill was just sublimely done

02:15:25.960 --> 02:15:26.960
from him.

02:15:26.960 --> 02:15:32.200
4 for 4 in pistol round, I'm proud, I suppose I've had not a single loss, I haven't had

02:15:32.200 --> 02:15:37.280
any problems in that department throughout this series.

02:15:37.280 --> 02:15:38.280
No Fully Co.

02:15:38.280 --> 02:15:44.080
And now, yep, just the glocks for red cannons, full they've got.

02:15:44.080 --> 02:15:48.880
Hmm, what did you have to fuel your fuel yourself for the broadcast today?

02:15:50.880 --> 02:15:55.320
Oh boy, I I had quite the meal four eggs scrambled beautifully

02:15:55.840 --> 02:16:00.160
into some toast with cheese on top and avocado and a tomato.

02:16:00.160 --> 02:16:03.360
OK, I didn't expect that to be that extensive for the answer.

02:16:03.360 --> 02:16:06.960
But I know you don't disappoint me, usually, with that.

02:16:07.720 --> 02:16:10.680
Those answers, I'm going to say.

02:16:10.680 --> 02:16:12.160
I've been eating some big breakfast.

02:16:12.160 --> 02:16:14.160
Man

02:16:14.160 --> 02:16:20.160
What about yourself? What did you go for for my my classic sandwiches and crisps because I'm British, you know and all that

02:16:21.660 --> 02:16:26.840
Love how you emphasize British with like an even more yeah, I pronounce my teas man. I pronounce my tea

02:16:26.840 --> 02:16:28.840
That's all I'm saying. I do it properly. I

02:16:30.320 --> 02:16:32.320
appreciate

02:16:34.360 --> 02:16:39.820
Why is it a note you're saying three or three either way what I know is this round is free for spirit

02:16:39.820 --> 02:16:44.820
It's three rounds for red cannons and two away from spurred taking us to the site.

02:16:44.820 --> 02:16:49.820
Now he can actually cast a game again, an actual interesting round upon us.

02:16:49.820 --> 02:16:54.820
Let's see if red cannons can show something on a slight recovery,

02:16:54.820 --> 02:16:57.820
or if we're going to speed run to overpass.

02:16:57.820 --> 02:17:12.020
11-3 to Scott. And it's going to keep the MP9. No operento, unfortunately, and it looks

02:17:12.020 --> 02:17:15.740
like we're going to have something a bit pacey off the bat. We know how easy it is to hold

02:17:15.740 --> 02:17:19.900
W on to either one of these two bombsites on ancient and get onto these sites quickly.

02:17:19.900 --> 02:17:25.460
And don't call any hold on for one. A bombsite taken. Davides is luck. Actually does find

02:17:25.460 --> 02:17:28.900
magics as we can see him retreating from middle now.

02:17:28.900 --> 02:17:31.880
The Zontics has dealt with Renter, and that's an annoying one.

02:17:31.880 --> 02:17:34.700
That's the bomb on the floor now that they're going to have to creep forward to grab, and

02:17:34.700 --> 02:17:37.740
another bomb on that smoke is elapsing.

02:17:37.740 --> 02:17:38.740
Ah.

02:17:38.740 --> 02:17:43.020
I've also double mollied, so that's going to cost them an extra piece of utility to

02:17:43.020 --> 02:17:47.820
work with, but at least Avedes will find that frag on Zontics who is just frustrating

02:17:47.820 --> 02:17:50.380
them through from CT to near now in donut.

02:17:50.380 --> 02:17:52.460
Is he going to look to try and make it take it goes through?

02:17:52.460 --> 02:17:57.660
he might be able to deny this bombcloth, that's not going to happen for him. Drop will get his gun up, but not in time to deal with Tanea.

02:17:57.660 --> 02:18:04.460
Thankfully, Kawa's is on the scene to restore calm and get the job done, as Red Cannons will keep themselves on ancient for a little bit longer.

02:18:04.460 --> 02:18:09.760
So earlier, about Red Cannons maybe throwing caution to the wind and just giving this one the, uh, you know, good old college try.

02:18:09.760 --> 02:18:14.960
And I think going for that rush A there was that. And I'm glad to report it hasn't failed too horribly.

02:18:15.260 --> 02:18:18.860
As I've never dared to look, I was talking about great replay to catch that.

02:18:18.860 --> 02:18:24.940
Now it's all hold on for some more impact after how good he was on map 1, as he said,

02:18:24.940 --> 02:18:28.820
repeating it was pretty impossible and he's not repeated it, but there's something to

02:18:28.820 --> 02:18:31.460
talk about there on the hold.

02:18:31.460 --> 02:18:38.300
Now Spirit's money is on the edge of being broken, so we could have 11.5 and if we do,

02:18:38.300 --> 02:18:39.900
it should be 11.6.

02:18:39.900 --> 02:18:48.820
That would make sense considering the financial status here for Spirit and Red Cannons there.

02:18:48.820 --> 02:18:53.380
to make moves early on in the round. They've already scaled four players up through middles,

02:18:53.380 --> 02:18:57.460
waiting for that smoke and doughnut to fade, and that might be their moment to then look to accelerate.

02:18:58.020 --> 02:19:02.100
But it's Donku's on the scene with one of these three rifles and deep space has been taken by

02:19:02.100 --> 02:19:06.740
Zontics in their main, and there's no pressure on him right now, so he might be a really difficult

02:19:06.740 --> 02:19:11.220
player to try and uproot if they do commit to the exec, but this one lone smoker is going to be

02:19:11.220 --> 02:19:16.100
enough for red cannons to re-root and reassess the situation. Donku's job in that round,

02:19:16.100 --> 02:19:21.620
on this round thus far was to jiggle Donut and see if they were advancing. In the end, his presence alone,

02:19:21.620 --> 02:19:26.740
his aura, I've kept them away from Donut and Drop is going to do the damage instead. They burst their

02:19:26.740 --> 02:19:32.340
way through Red Room and the help from Shea to take Donk out to make sure that Drop didn't get caught

02:19:32.340 --> 02:19:40.180
on the secondary angle works really well. Thontik's now alone on A and Magic's alone in Jaguar.

02:19:40.180 --> 02:19:45.380
Red Canis, I just need to group up, make their call and they should have that 11-5 I was talking

02:19:45.380 --> 02:19:51.300
about. Can Zontics be a bit of a snake in the grass here? There's one. J was low. I know where he

02:19:51.300 --> 02:19:55.620
is and they should be enclosing upon him from doughnut. He's going to be using the position

02:19:55.620 --> 02:19:59.700
two. Zontics does find one more, but now the molotov will be an issue and that plant should

02:19:59.700 --> 02:20:04.180
be able to come through. The lurk from carries works well. If I'm magic's advancing, that's twice

02:20:04.180 --> 02:20:10.500
now magic's been caught by a red canid's lurk. And Zontics will be trying to get out of that.

02:20:10.500 --> 02:20:17.900
Now while navigated here from 8 cannons, as you mentioned the aura from Fogman and

02:20:17.900 --> 02:20:23.160
Smokerlade as well, force them back from Donuts, they decide okay let's try and rather

02:20:23.160 --> 02:20:26.780
take this through middle and then it's a really good flashbang to set those two players

02:20:26.780 --> 02:20:31.500
up that were advancing through Red Room, that was a REN2 flashthrow, I think it was Drop

02:20:31.500 --> 02:20:36.740
and Shea that then combined really nicely there to actually get that control, get themselves

02:20:36.740 --> 02:20:40.020
flurry of frags, three kills in quick succession here between them.

02:20:41.300 --> 02:20:45.060
Since they're round up brilliantly. At this point, red cannons, they just don't keep spirit yet for

02:20:45.060 --> 02:20:48.980
a little bit longer, and it deprived them of some of that momentum that they've built up

02:20:48.980 --> 02:20:53.540
throughout ancient up until now, and try and hype themselves up as well to improve the mood in

02:20:53.540 --> 02:20:58.260
the camp if they could get seven, maybe eight rounds here on ancient before they inevitably

02:20:58.260 --> 02:21:01.940
lose the map compared to what would have been losing like 13-3 potentially.

02:21:01.940 --> 02:21:06.860
I just feel a little bit better about yourselves and that can help going into map 3.

02:21:06.860 --> 02:21:07.860
Exactly.

02:21:07.860 --> 02:21:11.420
Fully co-coming in here so we can give you the A-screen update.

02:21:11.420 --> 02:21:15.260
G2 did beat 3D Max 2-0.

02:21:15.260 --> 02:21:16.580
Quite a comfortable one as well.

02:21:16.580 --> 02:21:17.580
36-31.

02:21:17.580 --> 02:21:21.300
Some parts of Mattis leading the way.

02:21:21.300 --> 02:21:23.900
TAC once again playing very, very well.

02:21:23.900 --> 02:21:28.340
You lack of pressure maybe on G2 at this event but in some parts of the interim in-game leader.

02:21:28.340 --> 02:21:31.180
That's that secondary caller with that help is

02:21:33.220 --> 02:21:39.180
Making g2 perform at their best good kills from zontics here rare headshots with the dig from him, but he will go down

02:21:39.700 --> 02:21:41.460
to cowers

02:21:41.460 --> 02:21:45.140
Now let's see if we can as can keep this comeback trial going

02:21:48.540 --> 02:21:56.220
Also that means you have confirmation of what would be our lower bracket final match here in group a g2 versus the winner of the series and

02:21:56.220 --> 02:22:01.020
and that would be for a spot in the Rio at the arena at Rio.

02:22:01.020 --> 02:22:02.020
For Masi Arena.

02:22:02.020 --> 02:22:06.020
On stage. Yes, sir. That's what they're playing for right now,

02:22:06.020 --> 02:22:08.020
is to book themselves a date with G2.

02:22:08.020 --> 02:22:10.020
And that would be later on tonight, by the way, Trak.

02:22:10.020 --> 02:22:12.020
That means two days to freeze in one day.

02:22:12.020 --> 02:22:14.020
On current form, I picked G2.

02:22:14.020 --> 02:22:16.020
I was very, I'm completely honest with you.

02:22:16.020 --> 02:22:17.020
We'll move tack.

02:22:17.020 --> 02:22:19.020
Anyway, fast play coming in here.

02:22:19.020 --> 02:22:21.020
Already mid-control for Adaius.

02:22:21.020 --> 02:22:24.020
He does best on this occasion from Shell.

02:22:24.020 --> 02:22:26.020
Find Shiro as well.

02:22:26.020 --> 02:22:29.780
They're starting to work their way back into this game.

02:22:29.780 --> 02:22:31.580
Karris playing around this smoke, Magix.

02:22:31.580 --> 02:22:33.060
All they're going to bypass each other,

02:22:33.060 --> 02:22:35.740
but Magix gets his vision back first.

02:22:35.740 --> 02:22:37.780
Now they're two more players that came from Davaday,

02:22:37.780 --> 02:22:40.700
so they can find one more headshot and he does as to Nier.

02:22:40.700 --> 02:22:42.780
Try this to come and help out.

02:22:42.780 --> 02:22:47.820
Deleted by the Chilean Goat.

02:22:48.140 --> 02:22:49.940
Preview two.

02:22:49.940 --> 02:22:51.700
Yeah, they're trying to figure out what to do here

02:22:51.700 --> 02:22:53.460
because they saw Zontics earlier on in the round.

02:22:53.460 --> 02:22:55.380
They saw that he was the one that retreated back through

02:22:55.380 --> 02:22:59.260
doughnut rent to hold the flank really well done they recognize that they've

02:22:59.260 --> 02:23:02.780
got a four ccts to make some sort of a move rent to punishes that move they

02:23:02.780 --> 02:23:06.940
know that magics was over towards be not too long ago and so they will just

02:23:06.940 --> 02:23:11.420
charge across over at a that vacant bombsite and that's another gun round

02:23:11.420 --> 02:23:16.140
going their way so maybe they're prying the door open ever so slightly to try to

02:23:16.140 --> 02:23:20.020
get their foot jam their foot in between the frame and the door and see if

02:23:20.020 --> 02:23:23.380
they can ask some questions here of spirits on ancient which seemed like

02:23:23.380 --> 02:23:28.200
it was a formality at one point. You could also see the miscommunication by the way in

02:23:28.200 --> 02:23:32.880
middle in that round because after Don goes down, Xantix decides that he's not hanging

02:23:32.880 --> 02:23:36.840
around. He looks to retreat back through that smoke at that moment. Shiro goes through the

02:23:36.840 --> 02:23:41.180
red room smoke to fight in the middle. So Shiro and Xantix on completely different pages

02:23:41.180 --> 02:23:42.180
at that point.

02:23:42.180 --> 02:23:48.080
Davideus will close it with a quad, and there will be no saves for Spirit. These from the

02:23:48.080 --> 02:23:54.360
Dabba Deus POV, but hop up on the little shelf near Jaguar to get that kill on Taneer was

02:23:54.360 --> 02:23:59.720
particularly clean, and of course Dabba Deus knows what it's all about, getting into a

02:23:59.720 --> 02:24:05.560
major playoffs in the Americas, making one with pain, going all the way to the semi-finals

02:24:05.560 --> 02:24:11.120
an incredible tournament for him, now back on one of his older organisations, very really

02:24:11.120 --> 02:24:17.040
been a name for himself on red canids and he's fracking as good as he ever used to.

02:24:22.040 --> 02:24:26.000
And again, some of the biggest and best names in the world making it even more impressive.

02:24:26.760 --> 02:24:28.480
Just going back to the points I was making as well.

02:24:28.480 --> 02:24:32.160
I mean, that has kind of been one of the big issues that Spurt have highlighted is that

02:24:32.520 --> 02:24:34.880
they're frequently not on the same page.

02:24:35.000 --> 02:24:38.680
And we could see it there in that round with how Shiro and Zontics weren't really

02:24:38.680 --> 02:24:45.000
able to combine as well as they probably could have in that situation. Making plays that kind of

02:24:45.000 --> 02:24:52.520
contradicted one another. The CT side has been where Spirit have been struggling and maybe just

02:24:52.520 --> 02:25:01.240
maybe we're seeing those issues creeping in here on Ancient as well. They'll still be breathing easy

02:25:01.240 --> 02:25:07.560
but not much if they lose and not a whole lot if they lose that next round. Obviously an issue if

02:25:07.560 --> 02:25:13.560
they managed to find this round but these often can get out of hand even from these

02:25:13.560 --> 02:25:18.920
positions. Zontec's MP9 big, Shadow Advantage you know Shiro is here with the P250 but Zontec

02:25:18.920 --> 02:25:24.120
has to watch into that main position he can't help because he's occupied by Shea even though

02:25:24.120 --> 02:25:29.960
he does take Shea out, the A bomb site is taken comfortably and Donk can make it a headshot.

02:25:31.000 --> 02:25:37.320
It's only on the retreat. AK for magics to grab after Donk gets that kill and I'm sure

02:25:37.320 --> 02:25:40.760
That will be dropped over to the man himself in the next round

02:25:46.840 --> 02:25:53.280
11 8 makes for far better reading than 11 3 ever did that's for sure seemed like it was a closed case at that point

02:25:55.480 --> 02:26:01.760
If they win this next gun round all of a sudden I reckon there's a little bit of a cause for concern at that point

02:26:07.320 --> 02:26:09.320
Some of that momentum that

02:26:09.440 --> 02:26:15.520
Spirits had built up with all the success they had to grab majority of the map proceeding this little fight back coming through from red cannons

02:26:17.920 --> 02:26:21.520
We spoke about how cowards are a bit of a lifer on map one

02:26:21.520 --> 02:26:23.880
I think it's important to mention for me that

02:26:24.120 --> 02:26:31.820
Drop is playing very well as an individual while being the in-game leader something that I touched on at the beginning of the series is that often

02:26:31.820 --> 02:26:37.420
and, um, you know, drop has really fallen off individually in big pressure moments in big tournaments.

02:26:37.420 --> 02:26:45.420
Well, it was in-game leading slash playing as a rifle for Fiora and MIBR, but it's having a good one here when it matters

02:26:45.420 --> 02:26:48.220
to try and keep his team alive in his home event.

02:26:51.420 --> 02:26:55.220
It's been really good throughout the tournament so far been very impressive.

02:26:55.820 --> 02:26:56.620
Where's the flash?

02:26:56.620 --> 02:26:59.320
It's gotta go straight through. Dry is the name of the game.

02:26:59.320 --> 02:27:03.620
That fan's never gonna work out against Donk, who does the damage with the triple,

02:27:03.620 --> 02:27:06.020
made to look easy as usual,

02:27:06.020 --> 02:27:08.520
and that should set Spirit to get themselves up to that point.

02:27:08.520 --> 02:27:11.520
Back to a 2KD, and again, as we saw earlier, he's hunting for more,

02:27:11.520 --> 02:27:13.520
but Drop will put him down this time.

02:27:13.520 --> 02:27:16.820
They're gonna be a little bit careful. 2v5s can get out of hand.

02:27:17.220 --> 02:27:20.920
They do know Drop is stuck. That is the Donk we know and love.

02:27:20.920 --> 02:27:24.920
Especially on Ancient, just controlling Middle all by himself, pretty much.

02:27:26.620 --> 02:27:28.620
Rintu and drop now working their way up ramp

02:27:29.140 --> 02:27:32.540
It's their last port of call the last option really

02:27:33.260 --> 02:27:37.340
Rintu does have the banners back does have utility as well to be fair but

02:27:38.380 --> 02:27:44.020
It's all two players here. Magix has got the line. He's got help from Tenea every angle is being covered

02:27:44.020 --> 02:27:49.980
They have got up a very long way though. That's gonna be a nice clear for drop. Unfortunately. Let's go down for his trouble

02:27:49.980 --> 02:27:51.980
So Rintu the new boy

02:27:51.980 --> 02:27:56.980
by S tier event debut, but wall banged out of the round.

02:27:56.980 --> 02:27:59.780
There's not even a chance for a plant then to be set up.

02:27:59.780 --> 02:28:01.500
And that is what can happen at this level.

02:28:01.500 --> 02:28:04.180
Yeah, I appreciate the effort there

02:28:04.180 --> 02:28:05.580
of what you were trying to set up yourself

02:28:05.580 --> 02:28:09.080
for Rento in the 1v3, but I just denied

02:28:09.080 --> 02:28:12.500
before you can barely even finish punching in the digits.

02:28:12.500 --> 02:28:14.140
It was a really risky approach,

02:28:14.140 --> 02:28:16.060
trying to walk through the smoke at that point.

02:28:16.060 --> 02:28:18.820
I mean, donk at the worst of times,

02:28:18.820 --> 02:28:20.140
is still able to find multi kills

02:28:20.140 --> 02:28:21.180
from those sorts of positions.

02:28:21.180 --> 02:28:25.340
as easy as it's going to get for him. And now, four chances here for Spur to seal the

02:28:25.340 --> 02:28:29.020
fate of this map and take his time to pass to Sint for the score here and see which of

02:28:29.020 --> 02:28:32.540
these two teams will be eliminated here at IEM Rio 2026.

02:28:32.540 --> 02:28:43.420
But Paul Creep passed the Jag Smoke to help clear up middle. That is the extra prong that

02:28:43.420 --> 02:28:51.340
it was kind of missing. I had it but Bonk deleted it in that previous round. And, uh,

02:28:51.340 --> 02:28:55.260
the magics might be going for the peek forward. The big gap on that right side to work with

02:28:55.260 --> 02:29:00.020
and now Dropnose is close trying to get that damage through the paper thin walls of Jag.

02:29:00.020 --> 02:29:05.180
Gonna fall back now though. The bomb has dropped till outside middle. I haven't made a call

02:29:05.180 --> 02:29:10.220
yet at all. I have red canids. So I'm just holding in their default. The booster, try

02:29:10.220 --> 02:29:17.220
me clear red room, but they want it home.

02:29:17.220 --> 02:29:20.140
Asperd is saying we're not going to give this one to you by just clashing straight into

02:29:20.140 --> 02:29:24.300
you at the start of the round and then maybe just losing this by virtue of Jules, you're

02:29:24.300 --> 02:29:25.540
going to have to come and get it.

02:29:25.540 --> 02:29:28.140
And you've seen the Hilo set up in cave with two.

02:29:28.140 --> 02:29:30.860
How about the AWP in the mix there as well from Shiro?

02:29:30.860 --> 02:29:33.380
There were three players looking in that direction.

02:29:33.380 --> 02:29:38.460
However, red canards have been able to find a big gap here as they carved their way through

02:29:38.460 --> 02:29:39.460
middle.

02:29:39.460 --> 02:29:42.120
I've heard I've got no idea that this is happening right now.

02:29:42.120 --> 02:29:49.120
Penny will start to drop for Shiro as he starts to consider it, but the attention is being kept on B by this little bit of a fake that's being thrown.

02:29:49.120 --> 02:29:55.060
They setting themselves up for a B-split, they're very well maybe, and that will keep Shiro's attention away from middle.

02:29:55.060 --> 02:30:01.360
And now, off the back of losing that party making their way up ramp, they decide that they actually have to try and shift their focus in towards a Xontix on the tree,

02:30:01.360 --> 02:30:08.760
and then you've got a player who keeps himself up in temple. Xontix will show his position, and then that allows for Dom to step up with a brilliant double kill.

02:30:08.760 --> 02:30:12.200
have Spirit have got their campaign back on track as they bounce back on it.

02:30:12.200 --> 02:30:15.320
And that is more like it from Spirit and from Donk.

02:30:15.320 --> 02:30:20.120
He was completely shut out of play by Falakins yesterday and in this opening

02:30:20.120 --> 02:30:24.680
map, even though he almost had that incredible 1v4 at the end to try and save Spirit,

02:30:24.680 --> 02:30:29.720
he was also not at his best. That is more like it and a brilliant map from him.

02:30:29.720 --> 02:30:34.520
His first appearance really in Rio showing what we all know he is made of.

02:30:34.520 --> 02:30:39.920
Red Cannons have to go to Overpass to try and create what would be the upset of the year maybe so far

02:32:34.520 --> 02:32:38.520
And the only way it's been on the ground

02:32:38.520 --> 02:32:41.520
Is when I can see you, I gotta let it down

02:32:41.520 --> 02:32:44.520
I need something better to do

02:32:44.520 --> 02:32:47.520
Spending hours thinking of you

02:32:47.520 --> 02:32:49.520
Holdin' love like a fuel

02:32:49.520 --> 02:32:52.520
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

02:32:52.520 --> 02:32:55.520
Don't look who I am on my own

02:32:55.520 --> 02:32:58.520
I'm lost in fellow times, I'm too slow

02:32:58.520 --> 02:33:02.520
And I just wanna talk about my own

02:34:02.520 --> 02:34:14.520
This only ends now All the moments we love

02:34:14.520 --> 02:34:20.520
I'm sick of feeling stuff Our home is a fight

02:34:20.520 --> 02:34:26.520
It feels like I'm going to hell now I'm lost in fear, it's a new start

02:34:26.520 --> 02:34:29.520
All this world is forever unknown

02:34:29.520 --> 02:34:31.520
Yeah, unknown

02:34:32.520 --> 02:34:35.520
It's all my core, I am unknown

02:34:35.520 --> 02:34:37.520
And my defectors, no soul

02:34:38.520 --> 02:34:40.520
All this world is forever unknown

02:34:40.520 --> 02:34:42.520
Unknown

02:34:42.520 --> 02:34:45.520
They will use it to shed a leak

02:35:56.520 --> 02:36:00.520
Turn to lose and all consider

02:36:00.520 --> 02:36:04.520
Come on, get together

02:36:04.520 --> 02:36:08.520
Tonight's the night

02:36:08.520 --> 02:36:13.520
Even if you're feeling blue

02:36:13.520 --> 02:36:17.520
It will be alright

02:36:17.520 --> 02:36:21.520
Leave your troubles behind

02:36:21.520 --> 02:36:25.520
And have no doubt

02:36:25.520 --> 02:36:33.520
Don't you ever feel the day of the love?

02:36:33.520 --> 02:36:36.520
Oh, oh, oh, oh, feeling

02:36:36.520 --> 02:36:41.520
Staying in the groove, the rhythm, feeling

02:36:41.520 --> 02:36:45.520
Oh, oh, oh, oh, feeling

02:36:45.520 --> 02:36:50.520
Turnin' loose in the rhythm, feeling

02:37:25.520 --> 02:37:31.520
Don't forget about that time

02:37:32.520 --> 02:37:36.520
Tonight we rock tonight

02:37:37.520 --> 02:37:40.520
Tonight, tonight

02:37:41.520 --> 02:37:43.520
Oh, oh, oh, what a feeling

02:37:44.520 --> 02:37:48.520
I'm standing through the days of cheerleading

02:37:49.520 --> 02:37:52.520
Oh, oh, oh, what a feeling

02:37:52.520 --> 02:37:59.520
I think you can feel it.

02:37:59.520 --> 02:38:03.520
That this is a magical moment.

02:38:03.520 --> 02:38:07.520
And not every moment can be precious like this.

02:38:07.520 --> 02:38:12.520
So come on, here's something you don't want to miss.

02:38:52.520 --> 02:39:04.020
I gotta get out

02:39:04.020 --> 02:39:13.020
I gotta get out of here

02:39:13.020 --> 02:39:16.520
Gotta get out

02:39:16.520 --> 02:39:21.520
Gotta get out

02:39:21.520 --> 02:39:31.520
I get to get out, I feel it here inside of me

02:39:31.520 --> 02:39:37.520
But you know what just occurred to me, baby

02:39:37.520 --> 02:39:41.520
The feeling would've used to be

02:39:41.520 --> 02:39:50.520
At this time, I just keep on walking

02:39:50.520 --> 02:39:59.520
And I won't stop no, I just can't waste time talking

02:39:59.520 --> 02:40:03.520
Gotta save myself

02:40:03.520 --> 02:40:07.520
Gotta get out, gotta get outta here

02:40:07.520 --> 02:40:10.520
That's the last thing I do

02:40:10.520 --> 02:40:13.520
Gotta get through, gotta get through to you

02:40:13.520 --> 02:40:19.520
Gotta get out, gotta get outta here

02:40:19.520 --> 02:40:23.520
Got to see what's up at the meeting

02:40:24.520 --> 02:40:29.520
I'm missing no matter where I go, where I be

02:40:30.520 --> 02:40:34.520
Come on, I can't help but find my own beat

02:40:36.520 --> 02:40:40.520
No, just come on, gotta be out of here

02:40:49.520 --> 02:40:54.520
I just keep putting more

02:40:59.520 --> 02:41:02.520
Who's got a big, big thing?

02:41:05.520 --> 02:41:07.520
Gotta get out of here

02:41:09.520 --> 02:41:11.520
Just kick it, hold it back

02:41:13.520 --> 02:41:14.520
Got to get up

02:41:14.520 --> 02:41:15.520
Got to get up

02:41:15.520 --> 02:41:16.520
Got to get up

02:41:16.520 --> 02:41:17.520
Got to get up

02:41:17.520 --> 02:41:21.680
Got to get up, got to get out of here

02:41:21.680 --> 02:41:24.960
I gotta get up, yeah, yeah

02:41:24.960 --> 02:41:28.240
Come on, got to get out of here

02:41:28.240 --> 02:41:30.960
You can hold me back, oh, oh, no

02:41:30.960 --> 02:41:35.440
Got to get out, come on, got to get up, got to get out

02:41:35.440 --> 02:41:37.520
Gotta get out of here

02:41:37.520 --> 02:41:41.840
Come to see what's up in the game

02:44:47.520 --> 02:44:55.320
Spirit have looked like shadows of their former selves at Intel Extreme Masters Rio in the last couple of days until that map of ancient.

02:44:55.320 --> 02:45:00.920
Sure, it's only red cannons, but Donk is back, putting in the numbers we know he can.

02:45:00.920 --> 02:45:07.120
26 kills, 13 deaths, 2.07 rating on 134 ADR.

02:45:07.120 --> 02:45:11.320
They need more of that though, to confirm keeping him alive in the lower bracket.

02:45:11.320 --> 02:45:17.160
I mean surely it is just business as usual here once again with Spirit bouncing back

02:45:17.160 --> 02:45:20.920
the way that they did on Ancients and looking a whole lot like the team we'd expected coming

02:45:20.920 --> 02:45:22.420
into the series.

02:45:22.420 --> 02:45:26.040
I don't think that's now going to be derailed again because sure it's one thing to have

02:45:26.040 --> 02:45:30.040
a slow start and get completely off guard, maybe there were complacent coming into map

02:45:30.040 --> 02:45:34.360
one just expecting to dominate on Mirage and coast through the series, they then get that

02:45:34.360 --> 02:45:38.760
rude awakening, they look really good on map 2, now surely they remain locked in and finish

02:45:38.760 --> 02:45:39.960
off the job right.

02:45:39.960 --> 02:45:44.340
you think, and of course something that you mentioned yesterday, um, over past all plus

02:45:44.340 --> 02:45:51.100
map, uh, Ren2 is not really looking like the, the player that he wants himself to be at

02:45:51.100 --> 02:45:56.060
this level. He's been really struggling throughout this entire series. And, um, no, when you've

02:45:56.060 --> 02:46:00.260
got Shiro as your counterpart to go up against, maybe you can expect that briefly on your

02:46:00.260 --> 02:46:04.940
big event debut. But he's going to need to show up here to give Red Cannons any chance

02:46:04.940 --> 02:46:05.440
ATTOL!

02:46:08.440 --> 02:46:12.240
Absolutely, Red Canid's gonna be starting off on the CT side as they did on Ancient,

02:46:12.240 --> 02:46:15.440
and I think it might be really difficult for them to try and contain Spurt on this T-Side.

02:46:15.440 --> 02:46:19.740
Sure, Overpass T-Side, generally speaking, is quite difficult, but I think that the...

02:46:20.340 --> 02:46:25.340
...Pascent ferocity that Spurt are gonna bring to the server here might just completely blow Red Canid's out.

02:46:25.340 --> 02:46:30.440
No, boy, if they hadn't already had a good enough chance of all players alive on the server here for...

02:46:30.440 --> 02:46:33.940
...Spurt as they get the bomb down, they've been able to boost the player up into Heaven.

02:46:33.940 --> 02:46:39.940
At least Kawa's will draw first blood and second added into the mix as well, but if her resistance put up by magic though,

02:46:39.940 --> 02:46:46.640
magic's rather with a quick fire double will certainly help. No kit in play means timers of the essence.

02:46:46.640 --> 02:46:53.140
Hmm, it'll go down and Drop and Shea will do some good work. Now, Zontex is 1 HP from Heaven.

02:46:53.140 --> 02:47:01.640
A bomb is being diffused, but it was just in vision and they might get all the kills, but I'm afraid for Red Cannons it won't be enough.

02:47:01.640 --> 02:47:11.140
Oh, well done from Zontics. It felt really awkward when he was so low on health and all of a sudden he was the last man left alive.

02:47:11.140 --> 02:47:20.940
That boost into heaven ends up paying dividends as Zontics is able to get two key kills there from above and find the frag on the diffuser just in time.

02:47:20.940 --> 02:47:24.640
That was the necessary kill. His prioritization was on point.

02:47:24.640 --> 02:47:30.300
Spirit come up the gate swinging here as they pick up on overpass for the lift off on ancient

02:47:34.320 --> 02:47:36.480
Force by will come through they have enough to get

02:47:37.040 --> 02:47:43.200
Shea on the M4. That's what the update to give you $50 per kill gives you

02:47:44.280 --> 02:47:49.860
The extra opportunity to buy a bit more if you actually do get all the frags in the pistol even if you lose the round

02:47:49.860 --> 02:47:56.860
and I mentioned it one more

02:47:56.860 --> 02:47:58.860
time. Pretty crazy that it says

02:47:58.860 --> 02:48:00.860
David in a big event and. Coming

02:48:00.860 --> 02:48:02.860
from the Red Cannons Academy

02:48:02.860 --> 02:48:03.860
also only playing a couple of

02:48:03.860 --> 02:48:05.860
events prior one LAN as well in

02:48:05.860 --> 02:48:07.860
Sao Paulo. That was pretty much

02:48:07.860 --> 02:48:09.860
it. He's already played an

02:48:09.860 --> 02:48:11.860
Intel Extreme Masters against

02:48:11.860 --> 02:48:17.860
both as I will and don't.

02:48:17.860 --> 02:48:23.660
either Spirtle Falcons here in the slower bracket game. So that would have been super

02:48:23.660 --> 02:48:29.020
difficult regardless of who he came up against. A trial by fire, four into and only his second

02:48:29.020 --> 02:48:32.500
LAN events of his career. And he's got a hull of a test ahead of him here over on the A bomb

02:48:32.500 --> 02:48:36.420
side of Force by back from red. Can it to try and respond to the pistol round where they

02:48:36.420 --> 02:48:41.660
had lost it out? He is the only man here right now. And he's fallen back into that.

02:48:41.660 --> 02:48:45.900
And this should be impossible for him to hold on by himself with only a scout.

02:48:45.900 --> 02:48:51.900
Unfortunately, this stack will not be successful unless Rento does something unbelievable.

02:48:51.900 --> 02:48:56.900
Or, spirits, I can guess themselves and go back B, but I don't think they're going to be doing that.

02:48:56.900 --> 02:49:02.900
They'll focus all of them on A now, and that Nade does critical damage, poor Rento.

02:49:02.900 --> 02:49:05.900
Not even given an opportunity to shoot one bullet.

02:49:05.900 --> 02:49:08.900
Shifting away with that scout, we could have a bit of a unicorn round here.

02:49:08.900 --> 02:49:14.900
The magic is on the hunt, which means he may be able to get a kill on Rento as he shifts away toward B,

02:49:14.900 --> 02:49:19.500
but they are committing to a 5v5 save there on the CT side.

02:49:22.260 --> 02:49:25.140
I really like their decision not to actually

02:49:25.140 --> 02:49:26.980
try and shift the defence away from B.

02:49:26.980 --> 02:49:29.940
They gamble stacked on that B bombsite, they bet on black,

02:49:29.940 --> 02:49:32.700
the ball swings around the board and it lands in red

02:49:32.700 --> 02:49:33.700
and so that's unfortunate,

02:49:33.700 --> 02:49:36.100
but it means that they will be able to keep all five

02:49:36.100 --> 02:49:38.620
of their players alive here and save their money

02:49:38.620 --> 02:49:41.500
and still effectively have a four sport set of weapons

02:49:41.500 --> 02:49:42.340
to work with.

02:49:42.340 --> 02:49:47.140
So I think it's a good decision making to think tank their Rom-Raid Cannons.

02:49:47.140 --> 02:49:51.540
We're going to be able to get far away enough to survive the bomb explosion.

02:49:51.540 --> 02:49:56.540
It's going to be Spurt who go up 2-0.

02:49:56.540 --> 02:50:02.540
Yes, a compilation of the entire round from Cowards' POV.

02:50:02.540 --> 02:50:04.540
That's all he was able to do.

02:50:04.540 --> 02:50:09.540
I listened to my voice notes to speed.

02:50:09.540 --> 02:50:14.540
That's unfortunately sometimes the reality of a professional counter strike.

02:50:14.540 --> 02:50:18.540
If you guessing correctly, that's what you've got to do.

02:50:18.540 --> 02:50:26.540
Anyway, Spirit will be very aware that they have exactly the same purchase in this round as they had in the previous.

02:50:26.540 --> 02:50:30.540
In form, shape, so in play, they might not know about it.

02:50:30.540 --> 02:50:33.540
Guess what, Cow is in the same role again.

02:50:33.540 --> 02:50:38.540
Can we get a counter going of how many times he's had to jump here in these past rounds?

02:50:38.540 --> 02:50:41.900
Do you think he's a mouse wheeler or a spacebar jumper?

02:50:41.900 --> 02:50:43.700
Oh, I hope for his sake.

02:50:43.700 --> 02:50:47.340
This is a scroll wheel jump going on right now and he's not having to push space every

02:50:47.340 --> 02:50:48.340
time.

02:50:48.340 --> 02:50:50.540
I'm a disgusting spacebar user.

02:50:50.540 --> 02:50:51.540
I hate to admit.

02:50:51.540 --> 02:50:55.420
Just to answer yourself, Trav.

02:50:55.420 --> 02:50:57.340
Why would you do that live on broadcast, mate?

02:50:57.340 --> 02:50:58.340
Hey, man.

02:50:58.340 --> 02:51:00.180
Any headshots is what matters.

02:51:00.180 --> 02:51:07.820
Rensu can't, though, and oh, he gets a tag, but yeah, no 360 trick shots to work with

02:51:07.820 --> 02:51:14.820
here. I'll give him some style

02:51:14.820 --> 02:51:16.820
points. No kill points. I'm

02:51:16.820 --> 02:51:18.820
afraid rotation up is pretty

02:51:18.820 --> 02:51:20.820
quick for David air some

02:51:20.820 --> 02:51:21.820
teneur is close thing is ever

02:51:21.820 --> 02:51:23.820
this is very exposed from

02:51:23.820 --> 02:51:24.820
bathroom and as soon as these

02:51:24.820 --> 02:51:25.820
players free up, they're going

02:51:25.820 --> 02:51:26.820
to catch him in the side as

02:51:26.820 --> 02:51:27.820
well to find one. He's got some

02:51:27.820 --> 02:51:28.820
help actually launching into

02:51:28.820 --> 02:51:29.820
the action, but that help will

02:51:29.820 --> 02:51:31.820
now be deleted as Donk finds

02:51:31.820 --> 02:51:36.820
Well, managed to just clip Shea out of the round as well.

02:51:36.900 --> 02:51:38.700
Encourages the smoke in a kit,

02:51:38.700 --> 02:51:42.220
but there'll be no ninja possibilities here.

02:51:42.220 --> 02:51:43.900
He's buying next round anyway.

02:51:43.900 --> 02:51:46.300
He might give it a look just for the hell of it.

02:51:48.260 --> 02:51:49.500
That's the only chance, right?

02:51:49.500 --> 02:51:51.980
That's the only way he could conceivably win the round

02:51:51.980 --> 02:51:54.980
is if Spirits exit the bomb site early,

02:51:54.980 --> 02:51:57.620
he gets a kill on one, drops a smoke while diffusing

02:51:57.620 --> 02:51:59.580
and makes some magic happen.

02:51:59.580 --> 02:52:03.020
It's definitely his plan and what he's hoping for.

02:52:03.020 --> 02:52:08.020
One player already making his way down to B. Second following suit, but he's gonna have

02:52:08.020 --> 02:52:12.380
to run from here and that's the problem, is the steps are gonna be heard and he hasn't

02:52:12.380 --> 02:52:14.300
even gotten himself close enough, unfortunately.

02:52:14.300 --> 02:52:16.260
He shies away, Trav.

02:52:16.260 --> 02:52:17.260
Disgusting.

02:52:17.260 --> 02:52:19.740
That will be the three score.

02:52:19.740 --> 02:52:23.340
Yeah, indeed, unfortunately, he doesn't roll the dice.

02:52:23.340 --> 02:52:27.340
Some damage done, at least with a couple kills coming through from red cannons, is he gonna

02:52:27.340 --> 02:52:31.220
be buying up in this next round at Spur to come out the gate swinging. Can they get this

02:52:31.220 --> 02:52:35.620
first gun run under their belts as well because that would really solidify their strong start

02:52:35.620 --> 02:52:39.380
here on Overpass.

02:52:39.380 --> 02:52:43.420
And yesterday when Red Cannons were able to beat Gentlemates in that game we covered on

02:52:43.420 --> 02:52:50.980
the B stream, it took incredible moments from Shea on the T side to get that game one for

02:52:50.980 --> 02:52:56.380
Red Cannons and is that really replicable? I'm not so sure. So they need to get a handle

02:52:56.380 --> 02:52:59.460
hold in the game here very quickly otherwise it's gonna be disappearing from

02:52:59.460 --> 02:53:06.060
them. Expectedly so, but they've had a chance given to them by their brilliant

02:53:06.060 --> 02:53:15.260
Mirage and it would be a shame if they went with the Wimper. True, true. Because

02:53:15.260 --> 02:53:18.500
they weren't able to bring nearly the same sort of ferocity to ancient with

02:53:18.500 --> 02:53:22.700
what we saw out of them on Mirage, but I mean that was to be expected considering

02:53:22.700 --> 02:53:27.980
the struggles they've had on that map in general. Tania gonna have a duel offered up to him. It's a

02:53:27.980 --> 02:53:31.580
really good understanding of the angles here from Kawa's with the position that he's taken up,

02:53:31.580 --> 02:53:36.020
that he can't be spotted from Lowers and that he can just step out and immediately force that fight.

02:53:36.020 --> 02:53:43.620
But he has lost Avedas in water already. Spirit looked to build themselves in this round now

02:53:43.620 --> 02:53:48.180
taking some shape. They have kind of kept their options open with Dong feeling out towards Longan.

02:53:48.180 --> 02:53:52.380
It's a near in Lowers, but with the time ticking they're going to have to make a decision

02:53:52.380 --> 02:53:56.160
And it looks like the the the B bomb sites where they're going to try and finish this round

02:53:56.160 --> 02:53:59.020
And Rento playing from pillar he has to get this opening kill

02:53:59.020 --> 02:54:02.760
He's with a few of these from this position already and even more so now coward has gone down

02:54:02.760 --> 02:54:07.920
Oh, it's gonna be awkward. They should just get completely enclosed upon as long as it's will find drop and Rento is so stark

02:54:07.920 --> 02:54:09.920
I so uncomfortable to watch

02:54:11.220 --> 02:54:17.740
Usually in those situations your rifle is there to support you so here's like complete committal to that position

02:54:17.740 --> 02:54:24.140
looks really ugly yeah all his friends were dead and unfortunately that makes

02:54:24.140 --> 02:54:28.740
it super awkward for him much like the sign suggests no playing ball here for

02:54:28.740 --> 02:54:34.860
red cannons just yet on overpass there remain on a duck that kill there on

02:54:34.860 --> 02:54:39.260
carways I think was the really key frag in the round there to completely open up

02:54:39.260 --> 02:54:43.660
that be on site was even a team passion makes on six got completely blinded up by

02:54:43.660 --> 02:54:48.780
a flash throw over monster time, but he was able to regain his vision and time and that makes it

02:54:48.780 --> 02:54:55.420
impossible for Ren 2 left to his own devices. Not able to do the Guardian. No, no, that is the

02:54:56.060 --> 02:55:02.860
thing that my brain goes back to every time I see that position. And the dream is real as he mounts

02:55:02.860 --> 02:55:09.260
all five. Mouse sports are no more. Isn't it crazy? I can remember the castle lines from like 2016.

02:55:09.260 --> 02:55:16.300
I mean yeah absolutely props to you ten years ago it was a completely iconic

02:55:16.300 --> 02:55:19.180
moment there's a reason it's called the Guardian because really only one man's

02:55:19.180 --> 02:55:21.580
Let's get a piece in those sorts of moments together.

02:55:21.580 --> 02:55:22.580
Ugh.

02:55:22.580 --> 02:55:23.580
Good times.

02:55:41.580 --> 02:55:42.580
Right, Trop.

02:55:42.580 --> 02:55:44.100
What do you got for the team here?

02:55:44.100 --> 02:55:46.140
Absolutely not the start that they would have been hoping for.

02:55:46.140 --> 02:55:51.420
I mentioned that obviously generally speaking the rule of thumb is you love to start on the CT side of overpass

02:55:51.420 --> 02:55:55.440
But I actually think when you're such a massive underdog like red canids are in this game

02:55:55.440 --> 02:55:59.500
I think there's a weird case to be made to actually want to play on the T side first

02:55:59.500 --> 02:56:05.620
Or maybe it's more so not wanting the big favorites to get to start on the T side where they get to come into the map

02:56:05.620 --> 02:56:08.180
Dictate the pace of the game. I know I know it sounds crazy

02:56:08.180 --> 02:56:14.300
But I've seen it happen all too often where you have this massive just out to between teams and when the favorites start on the T side

02:56:14.300 --> 02:56:18.540
They just run away with the game by getting to like I say dictate the pace play on their own terms

02:56:18.700 --> 02:56:23.460
Warm up into the game as it goes on and not have to remain static and wait for the game to come to them

02:56:23.460 --> 02:56:27.080
It's what we saw happen on Mirage right where it kind of started on the T side

02:56:27.500 --> 02:56:30.980
Completely blue spirit of the server not saying that would happen here again

02:56:30.980 --> 02:56:36.260
But I think it's really tough to try and start on the defensive half against an already warmed-up spirit another

02:56:36.860 --> 02:56:40.940
Four-man session up on B for red cannons and another round where cow is is

02:56:41.500 --> 02:56:43.100
committed to his role

02:56:43.100 --> 02:56:48.100
Poor guy. That's how he spent the entire map so far, it feels like. That's all saving.

02:56:49.100 --> 02:56:55.100
Anyway, it's a similar setup. Ren 2 alone with the scout.

02:56:55.100 --> 02:56:58.100
Spirit, no, they don't need to just run in willy-nilly.

02:56:58.100 --> 02:57:05.100
Take their time, set up on long, use the utility around bathroom to block off green bin, block off truck.

02:57:06.100 --> 02:57:07.600
I'm going to work their way in now.

02:57:07.600 --> 02:57:10.100
Shea is there to help. Actually, there is a rotation a little bit quicker this time.

02:57:10.100 --> 02:57:12.220
There are going to be four players on site.

02:57:12.220 --> 02:57:14.860
They could be locked behind some utility cell.

02:57:14.860 --> 02:57:17.780
Actually, Shane will hold on if I magic.

02:57:17.780 --> 02:57:21.180
Shane's dropped with one, but it's a really important kill from Shiro in the end.

02:57:21.180 --> 02:57:25.620
USP of Rentsu will drop, however, and that will call it.

02:57:25.620 --> 02:57:26.620
Five-zero.

02:57:26.620 --> 02:57:32.740
All navigated from Spurt, despite running into the numbers on the A bomb site, they make

02:57:32.740 --> 02:57:34.220
light work of the defense.

02:57:34.220 --> 02:57:38.380
Like you said, an important kill coming through from Shiro to really alleviate the pressure

02:57:38.380 --> 02:57:40.180
and basically hammer the round home.

02:57:40.180 --> 02:57:42.680
Clean shot there from Taneir to finish off the job.

02:57:46.580 --> 02:57:48.180
5-0 indeed.

02:57:48.180 --> 02:57:50.680
Red can, it's time to run out of chances here in this first half.

02:57:50.680 --> 02:57:54.280
If they can't win this first gun run, then the rock really starts to set in

02:57:54.280 --> 02:57:57.680
and it feels like this becomes completely impossible for them if it isn't already.

02:57:59.180 --> 02:58:03.880
Yeah, maybe took it just a little bit for spirit to warm into the game today.

02:58:03.880 --> 02:58:10.640
I was like, unfortunately, this third map might be a bit of a damp squib of a map, but I'm

02:58:10.640 --> 02:58:11.800
hopeful for a closer game.

02:58:11.800 --> 02:58:12.800
We shall see.

02:58:12.800 --> 02:58:17.960
Shiro going for the classic towards short, getting ahead of the utility, going for the

02:58:17.960 --> 02:58:19.960
peek from the sandbags.

02:58:19.960 --> 02:58:22.120
It's going to be a good nade.

02:58:22.120 --> 02:58:26.100
And Shiro will get into Cowair, so that's a change-up, this coming through with that

02:58:26.100 --> 02:58:33.380
nades that did perfectly counter it, banked off of the girder, near and Xontex tagged down low.

02:58:36.900 --> 02:58:41.460
An opening kill for Red Canada's rarity here since Mirage, especially one that doesn't just get

02:58:41.460 --> 02:58:46.260
immediately traded now. Magix is going to try and find a timing. This is just dry contact,

02:58:46.260 --> 02:58:49.540
this is them not wanting to give up the game as to actually what's going on.

02:58:50.100 --> 02:58:55.140
Magix is going to cross in towards the corner here and probably remain posted in this position.

02:58:55.140 --> 02:59:01.140
No need for red cannons to go advancing though with that man advantage already in play. They're gonna want spur to come to them

02:59:01.920 --> 02:59:06.520
Three man set up on the bomb site itself and one player in heaven donkeys hoping that would be till it is done

02:59:07.620 --> 02:59:10.780
You might be able to pull some of the attention away. It's a really good flashbang there

02:59:10.780 --> 02:59:14.600
But thankfully for cow is he's got David is in support to keep him alive

02:59:14.820 --> 02:59:18.420
The kill will eventually come back your force group, but it should be too little to ever death

02:59:18.420 --> 02:59:23.540
There's also taken up the position that cow is was playing and that is exactly what works out for his second kill on to near

02:59:23.540 --> 02:59:27.540
good job from red can is they're

02:59:27.540 --> 02:59:29.540
in the game now. Comfortable

02:59:29.540 --> 02:59:31.540
until you get that first round

02:59:31.540 --> 02:59:33.540
on the board. It's a cliche, but

02:59:33.540 --> 02:59:35.540
it's true. And. As I said,

02:59:35.540 --> 02:59:37.540
that's exactly something they've

02:59:37.540 --> 02:59:39.540
put into practice on their B

02:59:39.540 --> 02:59:41.540
side. Defense is yesterday when

02:59:41.540 --> 02:59:44.540
they lose that. Barrels player

02:59:44.540 --> 02:59:46.540
creep Davides into that position.

02:59:46.540 --> 02:59:48.540
Maybe it could be the way around

02:59:48.540 --> 02:59:51.540
on occasion. It could be cowers

02:59:51.540 --> 02:59:55.780
to hide their plan model and try and get a couple of cheeky kills, and when they're going overlooked,

02:59:55.780 --> 02:59:59.460
at that time there was never really any risk in the round, though.

02:59:59.460 --> 03:00:00.380
That's just it.

03:00:00.380 --> 03:00:04.300
Give an insurance policy to get him against that frag.

03:00:04.300 --> 03:00:12.660
I've noticed Donk has actually been playing the extremity quite a lot on this map so far.

03:00:12.660 --> 03:00:17.340
He's often almost been like in a weird lurk role, where he's been by himself on the top

03:00:17.340 --> 03:00:20.180
side of the map. Obviously, there's a lot of space there for him to work with,

03:00:20.180 --> 03:00:23.660
and that's what you want with a player like Donk where he can try and force those jewels

03:00:23.660 --> 03:00:26.580
and back his mechanics, try and find some 1v1s.

03:00:26.580 --> 03:00:32.300
It's quite interesting to note that he's often been just like left to his own devices

03:00:32.300 --> 03:00:36.020
to feel out the opposite side of the map to where his team is going to try and finish these rounds.

03:00:43.020 --> 03:00:43.780
There we go.

03:00:45.980 --> 03:00:46.940
Rintu's got one.

03:00:50.180 --> 03:00:57.720
He's hoping he's gonna get some more but more permanently rather than just the singular

03:00:57.720 --> 03:01:01.400
but Zontek's entered carries again, Davides playing the same position but they'll know

03:01:01.400 --> 03:01:05.700
he's here this time. Lots of mollies in water, it's a very obvious position he will be in

03:01:05.700 --> 03:01:11.020
now toward barrel. Renting to here on time, he's gonna hit some shots and these flashes

03:01:11.020 --> 03:01:14.780
are still gonna be very awkward for him to deal with and they're really encroaching on

03:01:14.780 --> 03:01:19.300
this position. Drop has dropped in to help though and Davides is doing a great job once

03:01:19.300 --> 03:01:25.460
again from the barrel position. Two quick headshots when two does hit his one shot and

03:01:25.460 --> 03:01:31.300
Chirro is not going to be attempting this one.

03:01:31.300 --> 03:01:34.420
And fortunately Spurred actually missed their window of opportunity with the exec. They

03:01:34.420 --> 03:01:37.900
were looking to try and force themselves into that B bomb site. Had they continued to commit

03:01:37.900 --> 03:01:41.740
after they had entered the B bomb site initially, it would have only been the barrels player

03:01:41.740 --> 03:01:45.340
that they had to contest. But because they just decided to slow things down and respect

03:01:45.340 --> 03:01:49.180
the smokes at that point. That's when we see the rotation start flooding through from red

03:01:49.180 --> 03:01:53.060
cannons. They get two players on the bombsite, they get one in heaven, the utile starts to

03:01:53.060 --> 03:01:58.300
be deployed as well, and they completely stifle the attack. You need to see a little bit more

03:01:58.300 --> 03:02:02.700
of a kill at instinct coming through there from Spurs, I reckon.

03:02:02.700 --> 03:02:08.540
Yeah, a little bit stalled. And we've seen that work before. I mean, there was actually

03:02:08.540 --> 03:02:11.660
around yesterday that General Knight's put together right where they just waited behind

03:02:11.660 --> 03:02:15.660
those smokes and with that patience we were able to break through.

03:02:15.660 --> 03:02:21.260
It was a bit of a gamble, but Spirit it didn't work on this occasion.

03:02:21.260 --> 03:02:24.540
It was pulling control and read it perfectly.

03:02:24.540 --> 03:02:29.940
Mzontek threw short already, short control imperative on other passers we know and he's

03:02:29.940 --> 03:02:33.340
already going to put himself in that corner.

03:02:33.340 --> 03:02:38.620
Now, Spirit have exhausted their funds here with an investment in roundnates.

03:02:38.620 --> 03:02:44.260
If they lose this round as well, then red cannons should draw within one and all of a sudden the decider is well and alive at that point.

03:02:46.100 --> 03:02:51.060
Couple consecutive rounds going the Brazilians way. Can they add one more to that tally?

03:02:51.560 --> 03:02:53.800
To break the finances here for Spirit.

03:02:55.900 --> 03:03:00.600
This one's worth 2-2 for the price of one. Everybody loves a good special and this is second one of them.

03:03:00.600 --> 03:03:06.560
the boost on the default box for a drop to have a little look and unfortunately it doesn't work for him

03:03:06.560 --> 03:03:08.960
It's a good kill from Zontics to grab

03:03:10.280 --> 03:03:14.000
Now Ren2 feels like he needs to make a move and there are many players coming his way

03:03:14.000 --> 03:03:17.320
And he could get caught from that connector swing. Shea is there with him

03:03:17.320 --> 03:03:23.240
This is gonna be a hard flick to hit for Ren2. Bomb coming his way on the back of Magix and the setup is good

03:03:23.240 --> 03:03:28.360
But it relies on Ren2 entirely and he will connect with it. That's a really nice one on to Nier

03:03:28.360 --> 03:03:35.240
Now we're of course worried about some bathroom progression and he'd be absolutely right to be worried about it and Donk is too ready

03:03:35.480 --> 03:03:39.640
For endu to swing it's out on Shay. You'll get one in the back. I say get one in the back

03:03:39.640 --> 03:03:43.420
He's not completed it yet. Finally will be another bullet so look at Zontik's creeping through

03:03:43.760 --> 03:03:49.040
Carrots are trying to make a play not gonna happen. Magix finds Shay and Davidas is on the

03:03:49.720 --> 03:03:55.560
Smoke near Greenbin. The bomb now going back to will be with that sight being clear unfortunately in the wrong position

03:03:55.560 --> 03:04:00.960
Oh, what could have been had Shea got that kill on Magix? That would have been the bomb

03:04:00.960 --> 03:04:05.160
dropped from the round thrown into disarray. Magix will hold his own though and get that

03:04:05.160 --> 03:04:10.400
key frag to then create that space. And obviously with the space being taken by Zontics of getting

03:04:10.400 --> 03:04:14.680
that kill on Coway's, they realize that B is the best course of action. And Davideus,

03:04:14.680 --> 03:04:18.880
just by virtue of almost being trapped, probably has to attempt this one. They've got some

03:04:18.880 --> 03:04:22.600
money to play with, so why not? He starts to creep his way forward. Nothing on offer.

03:04:22.600 --> 03:04:25.960
Magix will eventually swing to get some information and now Davideus wants to try and force the issue

03:04:25.960 --> 03:04:29.560
because he knows that there was one player who was at a bomb site, so he's trying to isolate the jewels

03:04:29.560 --> 03:04:32.040
but it's a really good timing on the peek there from Zontix.

03:04:32.040 --> 03:04:36.360
He knows Davideus has just gotten on the bomb, he's probably going to try and tap it there to draw players out.

03:04:36.360 --> 03:04:39.560
It's exactly what Zontix is relying on as he steps out and gets that kill.

03:04:39.560 --> 03:04:43.000
Yes, basic, but no, I'm going to go for ranked players would think,

03:04:43.000 --> 03:04:46.520
okay, we can't lose the round from here, just hide and we will win the round.

03:04:46.520 --> 03:04:51.400
But sometimes it is a better decision to peek on those sort of timings when a player is making noise

03:04:51.400 --> 03:04:55.640
running in when they're not ready for the swing, when they might be, as you say, in the process of

03:04:55.640 --> 03:05:03.560
looking to try and tap the bomb. And it worked well for Azontics, spirit up to six and two.

03:05:06.040 --> 03:05:12.520
They can have some money via the last couple of rounds they've won, but they don't get a six-six

03:05:12.520 --> 03:05:18.920
half. I am not entirely confident and really realistically, if you look at previous games on

03:05:18.920 --> 03:05:22.920
on the map, 6 on T should be enough for Spirit already.

03:05:26.920 --> 03:05:41.920
Yeah, they're gonna want more. They're 6 inside of 8 here. They're gonna want to try and put Red Cannons away in this first half, and if they can win this gun round here in round 9, they're basically on the brink of enacting that already, because then they go up 8-2, and that's completely an unassailable lead.

03:05:41.920 --> 03:05:49.840
What's the game plan going to be? It looks like they can fast in towards that B bomb site coming through from Spur, do they just continue the charge late? Absolutely do.

03:05:49.840 --> 03:05:57.400
Flashes over the top, the top donk leading that charge right now, surging forward. Noises got players trapped in towards the back of the bomb site as well.

03:05:57.400 --> 03:06:01.720
Really good flashes coming through from Spur to keep Donk alive for a little bit longer, but it's a couple kills that go back and forth.

03:06:01.720 --> 03:06:04.200
Teneir's going to start to run out of ammo, but he will get a kill before he does.

03:06:04.200 --> 03:06:10.760
Cat always treats positions with Tania, but you've got magics on the spot there to get the kill necessary and gain full control

03:06:10.760 --> 03:06:13.880
That was all over the place, but it will be spirit who come out on top

03:06:13.880 --> 03:06:18.560
That was a absolute kerfuffle on B there. That was very hard to track

03:06:18.800 --> 03:06:25.760
But both teams really have burned the end and spirit break through and as you say just too much presence too quickly

03:06:26.000 --> 03:06:28.000
They weren't really ready for it and rented about to die

03:06:28.000 --> 03:06:35.000
to Shirou. Nope, staring at each other like we saw with Martinez and Shay yesterday. Uh,

03:06:35.000 --> 03:06:39.400
that clip went pretty viral. As you can see here, Kauras almost made a play. Look at Tamiya

03:06:39.400 --> 03:06:45.600
had no idea, but just not clean on the kill on Magix. Unfortunately.

03:06:45.600 --> 03:06:53.520
Some brilliant tea sides here from Spirit so far on both Ancients and Overpass in particular.

03:06:53.520 --> 03:06:57.600
I mean, they was at 9-3 or 10-2 on ancient.

03:06:57.600 --> 03:06:59.240
I think it was 9-3.

03:06:59.240 --> 03:07:00.640
9-3, I think, right?

03:07:00.640 --> 03:07:03.080
Yeah, so 9 out of 12 rounds there on the T side,

03:07:03.080 --> 03:07:03.960
going spurts away.

03:07:03.960 --> 03:07:05.960
He has 7 out of 9 rounds on the T side,

03:07:05.960 --> 03:07:07.680
going their way as well.

03:07:07.680 --> 03:07:09.040
Gotta give Magix his flowers here,

03:07:09.040 --> 03:07:10.120
especially without the coach.

03:07:10.120 --> 03:07:12.040
This has been all him with some really good call

03:07:12.040 --> 03:07:14.600
in great direction, some good ideas coming into the rounds.

03:07:14.600 --> 03:07:16.720
And even when there's been some Spanish throw in the works,

03:07:16.720 --> 03:07:18.920
they've still been able to come up with solutions

03:07:18.920 --> 03:07:21.200
and adaptations on the fly to figure out

03:07:21.200 --> 03:07:27.400
those difficult moments. This one here, 4 red can, it's certainly a difficult moment.

03:07:27.400 --> 03:07:31.280
A light investment with the round lost bonus behind them means they can dig a little bit

03:07:31.280 --> 03:07:36.400
deeper into their pockets. And Spode immediately recognised that this is going to be a lower

03:07:36.400 --> 03:07:40.640
buy so their best course of action is to probably try and exploit some longer range jewels back

03:07:40.640 --> 03:07:47.640
back up towards the A bomb site they go.

03:07:54.360 --> 03:07:59.840
Luxmok will now come through with that long presence and Zontix is already up to front

03:07:59.840 --> 03:08:01.720
bathroom.

03:08:01.720 --> 03:08:07.720
Bon is with him and some of that ex-utility will now be used for a proper execute on A.

03:08:07.720 --> 03:08:13.120
Once again, Rento is in a very similar position. It's not being as assertive as it wants to be when all the utility is flying in.

03:08:13.120 --> 03:08:18.220
I get it. Davides has a flank, but with an MP9, can he really activate it?

03:08:18.580 --> 03:08:25.120
It's gonna be checked at some point as well. Rento is already creeping away, so it might only be exit damage here for Davides.

03:08:26.120 --> 03:08:27.920
Once it's creeping up,

03:08:27.920 --> 03:08:33.360
let's get the kill. Now down to half HP and they're about to trade in. They're actually running him down for that trade.

03:08:33.360 --> 03:08:35.360
near what's nothing to do with it.

03:08:35.360 --> 03:08:38.360
They're going to entry from Shea, but Donk's going to hold on.

03:08:38.360 --> 03:08:40.360
That switch to the weapon for Shea to grab the AK.

03:08:40.360 --> 03:08:43.360
It's awkward in the corner, and Tanir will help out.

03:08:43.360 --> 03:08:45.360
They're bouncing off of each other right now.

03:08:45.360 --> 03:08:47.360
Tanir and Donk, great teamwork.

03:08:47.360 --> 03:08:50.360
And Kauras is going to give this one a look with damage on Tanir and Donk,

03:08:50.360 --> 03:08:56.360
but it's only consolation kills, and Donk will not miss, as he so often does.

03:08:56.360 --> 03:08:59.360
Yeah, well done from Spirit there in the post plant,

03:08:59.360 --> 03:09:01.360
because as soon as they identify a threat,

03:09:01.360 --> 03:09:04.720
all immediately zero in their focus on that threat, right? Like you say this, you

03:09:04.720 --> 03:09:07.440
davidness in bathrooms, okay, let's charge them down, let's get back kill.

03:09:07.440 --> 03:09:11.600
Then they recognize that the next threat comes through from bank, okay? We just

03:09:11.600 --> 03:09:14.440
overwhelm any players trying to come through from there, we stack up the

03:09:14.440 --> 03:09:18.600
numbers and that works the trick as well. Red can is never really able to set

03:09:18.600 --> 03:09:22.640
foot back in that A bomb site. Spurred eight out of ten, now just five rounds

03:09:22.640 --> 03:09:26.760
away from surviving the scare here against red cannons. Definitely a tougher

03:09:26.760 --> 03:09:30.880
test against G2 later tonight. They're gonna have to be on their game for that one,

03:09:30.880 --> 03:09:38.480
each of them look really good in Rio thus far. Yeah I mean I feel like the shock of that first

03:09:38.480 --> 03:09:43.600
map they lost against Red Cannards could serve Spurt in a weird way just to jolt them all back

03:09:43.600 --> 03:09:52.240
into action. Yeah that's a good call. I need to break the smoke again but Tanira's gonna cross into Con.

03:09:52.240 --> 03:10:01.000
One of an advanced angle for Rento on long.

03:10:01.000 --> 03:10:04.080
Seems like that's one of his favourite positions to play from front with the AWP.

03:10:04.080 --> 03:10:05.840
One of the safer ones.

03:10:05.840 --> 03:10:06.840
I don't blame him.

03:10:06.840 --> 03:10:12.400
On his big event debut.

03:10:12.400 --> 03:10:16.520
Once again, I think Spirit are going to look to run this one back.

03:10:16.520 --> 03:10:20.680
They know that the executes have been working well and Rento is going to try and play it

03:10:20.680 --> 03:10:23.040
from the edge of the site instead.

03:10:23.040 --> 03:10:25.920
You will find Don can point opening to grab.

03:10:25.920 --> 03:10:28.880
Hasn't got much space on truck to work with though.

03:10:28.880 --> 03:10:31.760
Being burnt down to 45 and the flash is on Shaya really good

03:10:31.760 --> 03:10:33.400
and in comes Tanea.

03:10:33.400 --> 03:10:37.640
Oh my goodness, an absolute wipeout on A again.

03:10:37.640 --> 03:10:39.160
Even with the opening kill from Ren 2,

03:10:39.160 --> 03:10:40.720
they still can't hold on.

03:10:43.080 --> 03:10:44.520
For a team that have been,

03:10:44.520 --> 03:10:46.400
I was going to say extremely poor with their flashes

03:10:46.400 --> 03:10:47.240
in recent times,

03:10:47.240 --> 03:10:49.240
but it's just straight up barely throwing flashes

03:10:49.240 --> 03:10:50.080
on the T side.

03:10:50.080 --> 03:10:53.580
That was a really well constructed run from Spirit using the Flash as brilliantly.

03:10:53.580 --> 03:10:57.580
You see boys, you see how much easier it is to take Jules the players who are completely blind.

03:11:00.580 --> 03:11:01.580
There's a lesson in there.

03:11:02.280 --> 03:11:05.080
Oh, did you see the Observer gave it a little nod?

03:11:06.080 --> 03:11:06.580
Cheers mate.

03:11:14.580 --> 03:11:18.080
It's crazy to see though on the stats that have come out recently how Spirit are

03:11:18.080 --> 03:11:25.080
out of like tier one teams, a team that by far used the least amount of flashes.

03:11:25.080 --> 03:11:29.080
It used to be that, super effectively used.

03:11:29.080 --> 03:11:31.080
It used to be the Naphany way.

03:11:31.080 --> 03:11:38.080
Anymore, anyone who's been watching Naphany on TDK, you'll know that it's completely changed that thought process.

03:11:38.080 --> 03:11:42.080
Any TDK enjoyers maybe?

03:11:42.080 --> 03:11:47.080
You've got one of them right next to you, preferably speaking, just on the other side of the planet.

03:11:47.080 --> 03:11:51.640
Um, I mean how many miles is it from London to South Africa? I'm not, I'm not sure. I haven't done the math.

03:11:51.960 --> 03:11:57.800
Uh, I mean I know the kilometers. I think it's about 10, 9 to 10,000 I would guess.

03:11:59.880 --> 03:12:05.640
Not bad. I'll walk it. See you in a minute. Uh, quick pushing towards short for Zontics. He's gonna

03:12:05.640 --> 03:12:12.200
have control of it already and could catch the jump spot. Close. But no cigar. Dangerous.

03:12:12.200 --> 03:12:20.120
It's also really important that Spurt gave themselves so much breathing room here before

03:12:20.120 --> 03:12:23.400
they go to the CT side because the CT side is where they've been hamstrung lately here

03:12:23.400 --> 03:12:24.400
with this team.

03:12:24.400 --> 03:12:28.120
It's where they've really struggled and been underwhelming, been underperforming on the

03:12:28.120 --> 03:12:29.800
defense of half regardless of the map.

03:12:29.800 --> 03:12:33.520
It's their T side where they haven't really dropped off as much.

03:12:33.520 --> 03:12:38.640
So the fact that they've already gotten nine rounds here, potentially even a tenth, but

03:12:38.640 --> 03:12:41.800
I don't think that's going to make any difference in the grand scheme of things is certainly

03:12:41.800 --> 03:12:54.200
done themselves a massive service and very I guess you could say set piece based from

03:12:54.200 --> 03:12:58.280
spirit but now they're doing one on toward B. There have been lots on A and now they're

03:12:58.280 --> 03:13:03.920
choosing to finish off the half with a bit of variance. Donk will get tagged on the jump

03:13:03.920 --> 03:13:07.560
across there. Now he'll know there's a bit of presence in that ballroom position. Karris

03:13:07.560 --> 03:13:12.500
holds on, needs more than the one though and can't get it. And just like that, both B site

03:13:12.500 --> 03:13:16.520
players taking down, site open for business, drop ahead of the utility though.

03:13:16.520 --> 03:13:20.780
There's one over peek until he's got a teammate in support. Not taking a tag to the molly

03:13:20.780 --> 03:13:26.520
will make his mind to go for that path, but Ren2 smoked off with Xontix, taking the headshot

03:13:26.520 --> 03:13:32.240
on drop. That is going to be that. Ren2 knows this half is over. One before, has nothing

03:13:32.240 --> 03:13:36.480
You can do a team dig coming through, but Spirit won't care.

03:13:36.480 --> 03:13:39.600
One, Josh, you can see Wikipedia there waiting in the background.

03:13:39.600 --> 03:13:42.240
He wants to play his game and he might be able to in a minute.

03:13:42.400 --> 03:13:45.440
Spirit are up and looking comfortable once again.

03:15:32.240 --> 03:15:34.240
Oh

03:17:02.240 --> 03:17:18.280
the game is not done yet.

03:17:18.280 --> 03:17:20.280
Yeah, thankfully for spurred.

03:17:20.280 --> 03:17:21.280
It's the best of three, uh,

03:17:21.280 --> 03:17:22.280
obviously lost map number one

03:17:22.280 --> 03:17:23.280
did not go according to plan

03:17:23.280 --> 03:17:24.280
whatsoever. Winning one map for

03:17:24.280 --> 03:17:25.280
red cannons was extremely

03:17:25.280 --> 03:17:26.280
unlikely going on to win the

03:17:26.280 --> 03:17:27.280
series for the first time

03:17:27.280 --> 03:17:29.280
in a row, but it's still

03:17:29.280 --> 03:17:30.920
was extremely unlikely.

03:17:30.920 --> 03:17:33.560
Going on to win this series felt impossible.

03:17:33.560 --> 03:17:35.120
A miracle would have been required,

03:17:35.120 --> 03:17:37.960
and it certainly is now being down 10-2.

03:17:37.960 --> 03:17:40.120
Feels like Red Cannons are a couple moments away

03:17:40.120 --> 03:17:42.240
from being eliminated from their home tournament.

03:17:42.240 --> 03:17:44.520
She-Row would be devastating with the Jules on Ancient,

03:17:44.520 --> 03:17:47.000
but this time, he's only gonna be able to get one.

03:17:47.000 --> 03:17:49.600
So Red Cannons at least give themselves a chance here

03:17:49.600 --> 03:17:51.360
in the Pistols and start to push into Water.

03:17:51.360 --> 03:17:53.160
Jax behind the smoke.

03:17:53.160 --> 03:17:56.680
Molly for back dice comes through to lock it up,

03:17:56.680 --> 03:17:58.480
but they are gonna be jumping into Magix,

03:17:58.480 --> 03:18:00.580
that gives him the tour to most

03:18:00.580 --> 03:18:02.280
free headshots of his life and

03:18:02.280 --> 03:18:04.180
then don't arrives on the scene

03:18:04.380 --> 03:18:06.380
and now they're loving it easy

03:18:06.380 --> 03:18:07.880
for magics and they just get

03:18:07.880 --> 03:18:09.480
gifted headshots.

03:18:10.780 --> 03:18:12.180
Oh, I'd love to see it again in

03:18:12.180 --> 03:18:13.780
a replay because that must have

03:18:13.780 --> 03:18:15.180
been pretty crazy. Honestly, with

03:18:15.180 --> 03:18:16.680
the USP up close like that with

03:18:16.680 --> 03:18:18.080
two players leaping in on him.

03:18:18.180 --> 03:18:19.980
That would have been I think a

03:18:19.980 --> 03:18:21.580
very impressive couple of kills

03:18:21.580 --> 03:18:22.980
out of magics and if the job

03:18:22.980 --> 03:18:24.680
wasn't done already, it certainly

03:18:24.680 --> 03:18:27.180
is now a formality from here for

03:18:27.180 --> 03:18:33.540
spirit to get themselves into that match against G2 later on today. Winner of that gets themselves

03:18:33.540 --> 03:18:37.980
into the playoffs and will play in front of the crowd on the stage at IEM Rio.

03:18:37.980 --> 03:18:44.540
Yeah, well, the annoy spirit to have to play more games and maybe otherwise they would

03:18:44.540 --> 03:18:52.540
have wanted to confirm that arena spot, but it might warm them up even more, who knows.

03:18:52.540 --> 03:18:56.880
the right to the left.

03:18:56.880 --> 03:18:58.640
Hold the mp9 about to get

03:18:58.640 --> 03:19:00.140
jumped on by Shea but

03:19:00.140 --> 03:19:01.380
magic is there as well. He

03:19:01.380 --> 03:19:03.180
was helping out on a on the

03:19:03.180 --> 03:19:03.940
pistol. Now he's on B to stop

03:19:03.940 --> 03:19:05.940
the push. Stop trying to tap

03:19:05.940 --> 03:19:07.380
his way to victory to the tech

03:19:07.380 --> 03:19:08.880
nine is about to go down and

03:19:08.880 --> 03:19:10.740
to near will launch himself at

03:19:10.740 --> 03:19:12.440
him. And absolutely run him

03:19:12.440 --> 03:19:14.540
down and spirit of running

03:19:14.540 --> 03:19:17.540
down red cannons at the moment

03:19:17.540 --> 03:19:20.540
comfort 12 to two. And, uh,

03:19:20.540 --> 03:19:28.020
Well, thank God they've survived the sked because it seemed like they were spiraling at one point and had they lost the series and been eliminated

03:19:28.020 --> 03:19:32.500
This would have been the worst loss suffered by the spirit organization in the past three years

03:19:32.500 --> 03:19:36.260
And the worst loss suffered by the scene since they added donk into the mix

03:19:36.260 --> 03:19:42.300
They haven't lost her team outside of the top 50 since donkers joined the team not the best of three on land at least

03:19:42.300 --> 03:19:44.380
That would have been a completely shocking result

03:19:44.380 --> 03:19:50.380
But not gonna happen here today one more round is all they required to get the job done and booked themselves that date with

03:19:50.380 --> 03:19:54.380
G2 later on. Don't want the speedrun ending.

03:19:55.380 --> 03:19:58.380
We'll get traded by Drop. Little bit of life left.

03:19:59.380 --> 03:20:01.380
But you can get two ahead of themselves here.

03:20:01.380 --> 03:20:05.380
Just play as you usually would. Finish off the game properly.

03:20:05.380 --> 03:20:09.380
Magic accidentally drops down there and Kratos will lose 8 HP,

03:20:09.380 --> 03:20:12.380
but you won't care at one shot.

03:20:20.380 --> 03:20:24.460
Yeah, this is what we had anticipated coming into the series for Red Cannons, I'm afraid.

03:20:24.460 --> 03:20:27.900
And you know what? At least they gave us some goddamn entertainment.

03:20:27.900 --> 03:20:32.140
That was crazy cinema water transpired on the first map of Mirage.

03:20:32.140 --> 03:20:34.140
A 13-8 win for Red Cannons.

03:20:34.140 --> 03:20:35.860
I've never seen their players look so sharp.

03:20:35.860 --> 03:20:38.740
Coway's had a ridiculous performance on that map,

03:20:38.740 --> 03:20:42.340
but they've certainly reverted back to the means since then.

03:20:42.860 --> 03:20:45.540
Spirit have gotten better and better as the game has gone on.

03:20:46.580 --> 03:20:48.660
And it's just a matter of getting a couple more kills,

03:20:48.660 --> 03:20:52.580
and that would see Red Cannons exiting the competition.

03:20:52.580 --> 03:20:56.340
Yeah, shame, but I think, you know, Red Cannons have nothing to be really upset about.

03:20:56.340 --> 03:21:01.020
They came in as the biggest underdog, they came all the way from the open qualifier.

03:21:01.020 --> 03:21:03.060
Nice shot from Rento.

03:21:03.060 --> 03:21:04.900
They could open up the B-bomb side a little bit.

03:21:04.900 --> 03:21:09.380
Now only Xontix is here to try and defend it against four players coming his way.

03:21:09.380 --> 03:21:13.180
That's a clear monster, but he gets both cowards and drop looking to hold on.

03:21:13.180 --> 03:21:16.660
Oh, Rento! Not a clue about what's hitting him.

03:21:16.660 --> 03:21:21.660
And Zontics has deleted them all, Magics is on site and Shiro will clear it from heaven.

03:21:21.660 --> 03:21:25.160
Spirit get the job done, Red Canis have nothing to be embarrassed about.

03:21:25.160 --> 03:21:31.160
They've played really well in this series, but in the end, we all know Spirit are better, and that's proof.

03:21:31.160 --> 03:21:36.460
Ah, Spirit survived, that would have been, like you say, upset of the year, upset of CS2.

03:21:36.460 --> 03:21:41.060
Maybe, I mean, there's been some crazy games that have happened and most definitely would have been right up there with them.

03:21:41.060 --> 03:21:46.160
However, Spirit will get the job done, go shake some hands and start to think about that series.

03:21:46.160 --> 03:21:48.160
to be in the first year for

03:21:48.160 --> 03:21:50.160
Ren two playing his first ever

03:21:50.160 --> 03:21:52.160
tournament at this early first

03:21:52.160 --> 03:21:54.160
of a big event is first S tier

03:21:54.160 --> 03:21:56.160
event. It only played smaller

03:21:56.160 --> 03:21:58.160
lands and online events before

03:21:58.160 --> 03:22:00.160
this and only debuted on HLTV in

03:22:00.160 --> 03:22:02.160
2026. He's got a lot to work on

03:22:02.160 --> 03:22:04.160
as a professional, but he's got

03:22:04.160 --> 03:22:06.160
an incredible memory here

03:22:06.160 --> 03:22:08.160
debuting against Zai Wu and

03:22:08.160 --> 03:22:10.160
then playing its donk as well. So

03:22:10.160 --> 03:22:12.160
in the end, they fought with

03:22:12.160 --> 03:22:14.160
the team and they fought

03:22:14.160 --> 03:22:17.280
well. So in the end, they fought really well. Eliminating

03:22:17.280 --> 03:22:19.960
gentlemates with a great result, got them all important VOS

03:22:19.960 --> 03:22:23.320
points to work with for the upcoming season in tier two

03:22:23.320 --> 03:22:26.960
South America. But of course, as we thought would be the case,

03:22:26.960 --> 03:22:28.400
spirit were too much for them.

03:22:29.280 --> 03:22:32.840
Yeah, I mean, the entire scene would have been set on fire. I

03:22:32.840 --> 03:22:36.240
mean, they would have descended into chaos and anarchy had red

03:22:36.240 --> 03:22:38.960
cannons gotten the win over spirit, it would have been a field

03:22:38.960 --> 03:22:42.360
day for the spirits haters. In the end, though, they do

03:22:42.360 --> 03:22:47.640
ultimately get the job done. Got to give some credit to Magix. I mean, without Halle behind him,

03:22:47.640 --> 03:22:50.920
he was the main leadership figure within the team. He was the one who would have been

03:22:51.480 --> 03:22:56.440
trying to galvanize the unit off there, lost that map off Mirage to open up the series. He

03:22:56.440 --> 03:23:01.320
called a brilliant T-side on both ancient and overpass, and that would have been a big test for

03:23:01.320 --> 03:23:07.400
him as a captain, and he passed with flying colors. Yeah, exactly. And I mean, look, he won't, it is

03:23:07.400 --> 03:23:11.640
a sort of personality, Magix, just not really give a damn about a game like this if they win,

03:23:11.640 --> 03:23:13.640
I think the entire tier spirit

03:23:13.640 --> 03:23:15.640
probably feel the same. Maybe

03:23:15.640 --> 03:23:17.640
that's why they struggled a bit

03:23:17.640 --> 03:23:19.640
in map one, but, uh, yeah, they

03:23:19.640 --> 03:23:21.640
got bigger tests to come. Um

03:23:21.640 --> 03:23:23.640
of course, Don can indeed kind

03:23:23.640 --> 03:23:25.640
of recover some of his form that

03:23:25.640 --> 03:23:27.640
we all know he can produce. He

03:23:27.640 --> 03:23:29.640
had a very rough day against

03:23:29.640 --> 03:23:31.640
Falcons yesterday, dropping his

03:23:31.640 --> 03:23:33.640
career worst map, a massive

03:23:33.640 --> 03:23:35.640
shock. But even a mirage he was

03:23:35.640 --> 03:23:37.640
trying to drag spirit back into

03:23:37.640 --> 03:23:39.640
the game right at the very end,

03:23:39.640 --> 03:23:45.640
back up again. On ancient.

03:23:45.740 --> 03:23:47.640
134 ADR 2.07 performance. And

03:23:47.740 --> 03:23:49.640
then, of course, a solid team

03:23:49.740 --> 03:23:51.640
effort on map 30 pass from

03:23:51.740 --> 03:23:53.640
everyone on spirit and they'll

03:23:53.740 --> 03:23:55.640
be happy. Um, but G2's form with

03:23:55.740 --> 03:23:57.640
tack on the roster has really

03:23:57.740 --> 03:23:58.640
been incredibly decent. So you

03:23:58.740 --> 03:24:01.640
know what? I actually think G2

03:24:01.740 --> 03:24:02.640
might be the favorites of that

03:24:02.740 --> 03:24:04.640
game tonight. I'll go against

03:24:04.740 --> 03:24:05.640
you there. Backspur. I think

03:24:05.740 --> 03:24:07.640
after the loss they suffered

03:24:07.740 --> 03:24:08.640
against red Canada, sure it

03:24:08.640 --> 03:24:15.220
lost map one 13 eight bud. Like I said, I think it does just jolt them back in and it reminds them that it's very important because those games are

03:24:15.220 --> 03:24:23.520
loseable. Indeed. I think we've got Tania ready for a conversation with us in the interview. Hello, Tania. Thank you so much having a quick chat with us.

03:24:23.520 --> 03:24:31.020
Congratulations on the win. Definitely a rough start for you guys. Can you tell us a little bit what the mood was like in the camp and what the

03:24:31.020 --> 03:24:39.660
conversations were when red can is one map one our mood was good but I don't

03:24:39.660 --> 03:24:46.380
know we just have very bad city side probably I very like position a other

03:24:46.380 --> 03:24:53.420
I'm stuck on this map but it's fine after first map we just handed it and just

03:24:53.420 --> 03:24:58.460
joined to second map because you know we are stronger as a team and for us

03:24:58.460 --> 03:25:00.460
That's going to be very good.

03:25:02.460 --> 03:25:06.460
Okay, and tell us a little bit about Sotvic filling in for Halle

03:25:06.460 --> 03:25:10.460
and what he's been bringing to the team here as the stand-in coach.

03:25:12.460 --> 03:25:16.460
Right now, he helps for us.

03:25:18.460 --> 03:25:20.460
I don't know how to say.

03:25:20.460 --> 03:25:24.460
He's just trying to find for everyone Mocha Fort

03:25:24.460 --> 03:25:27.460
and trying to fix our little bit base.

03:25:28.460 --> 03:25:37.980
Yeah, and sometimes, of course, on some pauses, he's just calling some stuff what we should

03:25:37.980 --> 03:25:41.900
do and trying to fix some problems in doing much.

03:25:41.900 --> 03:25:47.660
Today, this is the first time I've had a chance to interview you after me and Matt have casted

03:25:47.660 --> 03:25:51.740
you for years and years in tier two, we're on gun five and heroic, of course, and we're

03:25:51.740 --> 03:25:52.740
growing as a player.

03:25:52.740 --> 03:25:57.980
What would you say for you personally has been the biggest challenge working your way

03:25:57.980 --> 03:26:01.980
up from the lower tiers of CS and now playing consistently in tier 1.

03:26:03.980 --> 03:26:05.980
Sorry, can you repeat the question?

03:26:05.980 --> 03:26:14.980
What do you think your biggest challenge has been personally, yourself, in the server or out of the server, playing from in tier 2 compared to tier 1?

03:26:17.980 --> 03:26:19.980
It's very interesting question.

03:26:19.980 --> 03:26:36.780
If we will compare tier 1 and tier 2, I think it's the same way, just a little bit more work because you're playing against good players and teams.

03:26:36.780 --> 03:26:45.680
They have a lot of stuff and sometimes you should spend more time for preparation, for example, because they also did some anti-strat, something like that.

03:26:45.680 --> 03:26:51.680
that you should try to understand what they want to do, step by step, yeah.

03:26:53.680 --> 03:26:59.680
And if we talk about ulcer, it's more about trying to give positive to my mates,

03:26:59.680 --> 03:27:07.680
trying to share my smile to everyone, but sometimes it's hard, but yeah.

03:27:07.680 --> 03:27:13.960
Okay, and now obviously last question before we let you go your next game is

03:27:13.960 --> 03:27:19.200
against G2 in that lower bracket final for the group for a spot in the playoffs

03:27:19.200 --> 03:27:25.760
what do you think about that game man how you guys feeling? I think we're feeling

03:27:25.760 --> 03:27:30.800
good because it's probably I don't know I'm tired for real because it's maybe

03:27:30.800 --> 03:27:36.920
probably third time when we will play against G2 for qualified to play offs

03:27:36.920 --> 03:27:45.920
because it was before on the EPL both times and I don't remember where one more event yeah and I

03:27:45.920 --> 03:27:54.920
think it's good enemy for us just to see okay well thank you very much for joining us mate all the

03:27:54.920 --> 03:28:00.920
best in that next series and maybe we'll see you again for another interview afterwards okay thank

03:28:00.920 --> 03:28:01.920
Thank you, guys, bye.

03:28:04.200 --> 03:28:06.480
Good stuff. Obviously, like, having not, you know,

03:28:06.480 --> 03:28:09.520
interviewed to near before, it's always a tough one to know,

03:28:09.520 --> 03:28:12.560
maybe what the, you know, English is going to be like,

03:28:12.560 --> 03:28:13.920
obviously, I've seen him in interviews before,

03:28:13.920 --> 03:28:18.200
but, you know, do you want to ask two elaborate questions?

03:28:18.200 --> 03:28:19.920
I tried to make sure I speak slowly,

03:28:19.920 --> 03:28:21.160
and I think he appreciated the question,

03:28:21.160 --> 03:28:23.400
even if it was a bit elaborate from my side.

03:28:23.400 --> 03:28:24.760
But, yeah, there we go.

03:28:24.760 --> 03:28:26.240
And I appreciate the answer.

03:28:26.240 --> 03:28:27.200
He gave us a very good one.

03:28:27.200 --> 03:28:29.800
So, they're through to playing as G2 later,

03:28:29.800 --> 03:28:34.680
And we've got one more game to cover between us two as well, Aurora versus Bait coming up.

03:28:34.680 --> 03:28:39.120
Now, lot on the line here for Aurora, they should be one of those consistent playoff teams.

03:28:39.120 --> 03:28:44.000
They've been in a little bit of a rough form lately and Bait are by no means a pushover.

03:28:44.000 --> 03:28:46.000
Who will win it? We'll find out in a minute.

03:28:59.800 --> 03:29:03.040
Here's the

03:29:03.040 --> 03:29:10.040
I'm going to.

03:29:10.040 --> 03:29:10.840
against the round with

03:29:10.840 --> 03:29:13.300
Frontal is manufacturing

03:29:13.300 --> 03:29:15.840
openings with his team. Well

03:29:15.840 --> 03:29:16.880
done. That's you forcing the

03:29:16.880 --> 03:29:20.740
short players away into

03:29:20.740 --> 03:29:23.840
exactly that and they catch

03:29:23.840 --> 03:29:25.820
him. Really well done. How are

03:29:25.820 --> 03:29:27.820
we going to see a pace around

03:29:27.820 --> 03:29:33.700
Look at this from Emma. Yeah, Emma's just front and straight up the guard, plays this

03:29:33.700 --> 03:29:39.660
pole position. Up on the palm by Norbert. Love this setup. Hyper aggression, look at

03:29:39.660 --> 03:29:44.100
it go. Emma with two kills, McCarthy responsible for the low. And Kalash goes down. That just

03:29:44.100 --> 03:29:47.860
baited in, hook, line, and sinker. This round's down. Frontalus will not be seven, he's open,

03:29:47.860 --> 03:29:52.540
me zoom. I don't think he's going to be winning a 1v4, Nade. At the doorstep, that's down

03:29:52.540 --> 03:29:59.420
to 12 points of health. Really nice time for Navi to throw in a little bit more of a limbo

03:29:59.420 --> 03:30:07.580
setup like that and it delivers. So looking comfortable on Navi. I had discussion a little

03:30:07.580 --> 03:30:11.580
bit earlier in the day when we had G2 on our screens. The idea in this matchup, you want

03:30:11.580 --> 03:30:15.900
to get it done as quick as you can with a little stress as possible so you can set

03:30:15.900 --> 03:30:22.260
your sights on the final best of three for one of the last two spots. We've

03:30:22.260 --> 03:30:28.100
already locked in four teams. Falcons, Vitality, Maus and Furia. My hometown

03:30:28.100 --> 03:30:33.380
hero will be here and also the world number one. Maus returned to the playoffs

03:30:33.380 --> 03:30:40.940
and Falcons with their goodbye tour for Kixon. Sorry Lam for all of those.

03:30:40.940 --> 03:30:44.580
Navi want to stay in the conversation with that world number two. I think Norbert

03:30:44.580 --> 03:30:48.620
Wacken on a desk mat. He's out there going, well, there's not really a world two or three at the moment.

03:30:49.080 --> 03:30:50.480
It's just vitality.

03:30:53.820 --> 03:30:55.480
What you can't really argue with?

03:30:55.480 --> 03:30:59.820
I think the most exciting final, maybe not based off of the counter strike

03:30:59.820 --> 03:31:02.880
we've seen from Furia recently, but in terms of the story,

03:31:02.880 --> 03:31:07.980
Lance Furia versus Vitality, that was starting to heat up towards the tail end of 2025.

03:31:08.480 --> 03:31:12.280
And just the fact that a Brazilian team having a tough time winning a trophy in Brazil,

03:31:12.280 --> 03:31:18.040
How many more times are you going to get the professor in an arena game in his home country?

03:31:18.040 --> 03:31:24.240
Yeah, where he is in the conversation of lifting not playing a show match not here for shits and giggles here with a real chance

03:31:24.280 --> 03:31:26.800
It was a valiant attempt from red canids

03:31:26.800 --> 03:31:32.760
But unfortunately not enough to be taken down spear over on the B stream rent to really appreciate you taking the time commiserations once again

03:31:33.360 --> 03:31:36.360
Tell me about that first map because it was a great showing for you guys

03:31:36.360 --> 03:31:41.220
What do you think happened after that that caused you to be unable to close out the series?

03:31:41.220 --> 03:31:51.220
Yeah, like you said, we did a great first map. I think we played Atarya's team gameplay, communication, everything was good in the first map.

03:31:51.220 --> 03:31:56.220
That's why we won. It was our pick because we were confident on that map.

03:31:56.220 --> 03:32:03.220
And we tried to do something different from yesterday against Dental Mates on Ancient.

03:32:03.220 --> 03:32:08.220
And I think we dropped the level a little bit in the last two maps,

03:32:08.220 --> 03:32:13.220
and Spirit were a better team in all nations and overpass.

03:32:13.220 --> 03:32:18.220
And I think this is a good opportunity for me playing at Tariah's event.

03:32:18.220 --> 03:32:22.220
I don't think I played well today. I wanted to play better.

03:32:22.220 --> 03:32:28.220
I think I made some mistakes and let my team down some rounds, you know?

03:32:28.220 --> 03:32:32.220
But that's life, you know? I will play more tournaments, I will get more XP,

03:32:32.220 --> 03:32:38.900
And I hope I can come back here in Rio to play another big tournament like this or in another country, you know

03:32:39.060 --> 03:32:41.820
But I'm very proud of this team. I think

03:32:42.820 --> 03:32:47.420
Comparing the first day to today. I think we are evolving a lot, you know

03:32:47.420 --> 03:32:55.420
and I think if we stayed the same level as the first map we could could have won against Spirit and

03:32:56.100 --> 03:33:01.900
Guarantee a spot in the playoffs, you know against the I don't know the I think it is

03:33:02.220 --> 03:33:09.300
3D Max or G2 right? Yeah that was our main focus going to the playoff here in Brazil

03:33:09.300 --> 03:33:13.700
right because we are a Brazilian team we hope it's the last thing that dies in

03:33:13.700 --> 03:33:17.580
our body you know but that's what happened Spirit played a better game

03:33:17.580 --> 03:33:21.340
today and that's it. It's crazy whenever I speak to you it still

03:33:21.340 --> 03:33:23.820
blows my mind that it's your first here online because you're so eloquent you're

03:33:23.820 --> 03:33:28.060
so mature as a player I just wanted to ask what you have taken away from this

03:33:28.060 --> 03:33:32.180
experience of course it's gutting not to be making it to playoffs but for you to

03:33:32.180 --> 03:33:34.220
to be learning, growing as a player.

03:33:34.220 --> 03:33:36.260
What's the main takeaway for you?

03:33:36.260 --> 03:33:39.820
Like I said, it's gaining XP, because this is the second time

03:33:39.820 --> 03:33:43.980
I leave my house to play some tournament, playing CS.

03:33:43.980 --> 03:33:47.140
And it's an honor to play against Donk,

03:33:47.140 --> 03:33:49.420
against Zybel, the best players in the world.

03:33:49.420 --> 03:33:52.940
But when we are facing each other in the server,

03:33:52.940 --> 03:33:54.780
we are not friends, we are enemies, right?

03:33:54.780 --> 03:33:56.500
Because everyone is trying to win.

03:33:56.500 --> 03:33:57.700
But that's life.

03:33:57.700 --> 03:34:00.580
I think it is a great opportunity for me, like I said,

03:34:00.580 --> 03:34:06.580
because I was playing third, three, 34 tournaments in January against some teams in Brazil

03:34:06.580 --> 03:34:10.580
and now I'm playing against the best players in the world. It is amazing.

03:34:10.580 --> 03:34:16.580
And I hope I can stay with the team and I can start playing better

03:34:16.580 --> 03:34:19.580
and we can smash some teams in the next events, you know.

03:34:19.580 --> 03:34:22.580
You certainly haven't had easy opponents here for sure.

03:34:22.580 --> 03:34:25.580
I'm sure you've gone and have a lot of fans for you personally throughout this run.

03:34:25.580 --> 03:34:29.580
People wanting to see more of Red Canid, sadly you won't be at the major,

03:34:29.580 --> 03:34:33.660
Do you know if there's any other tournaments coming up for you guys as a bootcamp on the horizon?

03:34:33.660 --> 03:34:37.580
What's happening for the team for the rest of this part of the season?

03:34:37.580 --> 03:34:43.900
I think we will play a lot of tournaments in Brazil like Secret X, like Pet Boom,

03:34:43.900 --> 03:34:49.740
those tournaments that gains a lot of VRS points for us. Of course, we didn't make it to the major

03:34:49.740 --> 03:34:55.180
and that decision of me going up to the first team was because of that because they didn't have any

03:34:55.180 --> 03:35:03.100
chances so they put me the first team before the the time you know and our main focus now is going

03:35:03.100 --> 03:35:09.100
to the hotel we will talk we will see the game what we made of some mistakes these mistakes we

03:35:09.100 --> 03:35:15.660
made in the match and we will start training now we have I think we have like some weeks to train

03:35:15.660 --> 03:35:20.780
without any tournaments and that's what we are going to do we are going to fix the mistakes we

03:35:20.780 --> 03:35:25.280
We are going to train a lot to practice against the best teams in the world because they are

03:35:25.280 --> 03:35:31.280
here in the rear, of course, and get ready for the next season to be the next major of the year.

03:35:31.280 --> 03:35:32.280
Well, I run to it.

03:35:32.280 --> 03:35:34.780
It's been an absolute pleasure to get to speak to you, get to see you in the server as well.

03:35:34.780 --> 03:35:37.280
Commiserations, we're looking forward to seeing the bounce back from Reconyx.

03:35:37.280 --> 03:35:38.280
Thank you.

03:35:38.280 --> 03:35:39.280
Thank you.

03:36:08.280 --> 03:36:18.280
to see.

03:36:18.280 --> 03:36:22.280
Beautifully eloquent interview

03:36:22.280 --> 03:36:23.280
again there from Ren two and

03:36:23.280 --> 03:36:24.280
looking forward to seeing more

03:36:24.280 --> 03:36:26.280
of him in the future, but now

03:36:26.280 --> 03:36:28.280
we need to focus on Aurora and

03:36:28.280 --> 03:36:30.280
bait and Aurora need to find a

03:36:30.280 --> 03:36:32.280
focus on how to recover because

03:36:32.280 --> 03:36:33.280
of course they've struggled a

03:36:33.280 --> 03:36:34.280
little bit in this event in the

03:36:34.280 --> 03:36:36.280
lower bracket. They're very

03:36:36.280 --> 03:36:39.800
So there's that sort of elephant in the room of the Zantares injury,

03:36:39.800 --> 03:36:41.720
he'll be affecting his form a little bit.

03:36:41.720 --> 03:36:44.680
Matt and Bait won't be a pushover, but they should be.

03:36:45.680 --> 03:36:47.640
Yeah, for Aurora, right? You would imagine.

03:36:47.640 --> 03:36:49.840
I mean, Aurora were previously infallible

03:36:49.840 --> 03:36:51.640
against teams outside of the tier one,

03:36:51.640 --> 03:36:53.080
against teams outside of top 10.

03:36:53.080 --> 03:36:56.440
They would basically never lose series to those sorts of teams.

03:36:56.440 --> 03:36:58.480
It would always be like one of the big dogs

03:36:58.480 --> 03:36:59.760
that would topple them somewhere.

03:36:59.760 --> 03:37:02.160
Normally, they were like playoffs mainstays,

03:37:02.160 --> 03:37:05.320
but they have proven to be beatable by some tier two teams recently.

03:37:05.320 --> 03:37:11.180
obviously they lost to both M 80 and Alliance in recent times. So perhaps that might give

03:37:11.180 --> 03:37:15.220
bait a little bit of hope. Yeah, we'll get into more of our, you know, thoughts about

03:37:15.220 --> 03:37:20.820
these two, maybe in some of the downtime rounds like Ecos and such. But for now, we need to

03:37:20.820 --> 03:37:25.700
get into the meat and potatoes of the pistol smoke on stairs already. Santar is from stairs.

03:37:25.700 --> 03:37:30.100
We're going to tap an MPL first because the game goes flying. What sick will tap him out

03:37:30.100 --> 03:37:35.000
of the rounds and tires will get his one playing from bench. CZ dropping. And they do have

03:37:35.000 --> 03:37:39.000
the server. The server four V

03:37:39.000 --> 03:37:41.000
three here was still that H. E

03:37:41.000 --> 03:37:43.000
on major. Sanfield could try

03:37:43.000 --> 03:37:45.000
and push forward here on

03:37:45.000 --> 03:37:47.000
stairs and he will. He's

03:37:47.000 --> 03:37:49.000
actually got two one V ones in

03:37:49.000 --> 03:37:51.000
a way, but Santa's won't let

03:37:51.000 --> 03:37:53.000
him win it and what sick will

03:37:53.000 --> 03:37:55.000
find Alex as well. So good

03:37:55.000 --> 03:37:57.000
start for Aurora. Yeah,

03:37:57.000 --> 03:37:58.000
welcome to the lower bracket.

03:37:58.000 --> 03:37:59.000
Boys. I mean, they look super

03:37:59.000 --> 03:38:00.000
sharp from the word go. They

03:38:00.000 --> 03:38:01.000
would have been ready and

03:38:01.000 --> 03:38:02.000
raring waiting for their

03:38:02.000 --> 03:38:03.000
chance to jump into the

03:38:03.000 --> 03:38:10.400
Blast straight through that free game and really didn't get to break this one down whatsoever much like MPL was blasted out of the server in this one

03:38:10.920 --> 03:38:16.040
Just lost over the veto quickly. Shall we with this being an anti-eco? It's mirage first picked by bait

03:38:16.040 --> 03:38:21.140
We then go to overpass afterwards which surprises me Trav because I thought it would have been dust to for Aurora

03:38:21.960 --> 03:38:23.920
Yeah, maybe there's a little bit

03:38:23.920 --> 03:38:27.280
And it's scared about how I've been playing on that map after what happened yesterday

03:38:27.280 --> 03:38:29.440
I mean hot to made that come back against them as well

03:38:29.440 --> 03:38:32.320
Don't forget when there were nine one up and it looked like it was gonna be a breeze

03:38:32.320 --> 03:38:35.920
took them all the way to overtime, just losing a bit of confidence on that map.

03:38:35.920 --> 03:38:39.600
And of course Aurora's map pool has always been a point of conversation that

03:38:39.600 --> 03:38:44.320
mainly it's a Nubis that they dominate on. As you said earlier, they have found

03:38:44.320 --> 03:38:48.520
some losses on a Nubis recently, even in these tier two lands like Dracula and

03:38:48.520 --> 03:38:52.720
against some teams like, as you say, M80 and Alliance. So a bit of a surprise there.

03:38:52.720 --> 03:38:58.200
And it is a worry. It is a worry overall. You know, I think I would argue that the

03:38:58.200 --> 03:39:01.080
biggest problem right now, as I mentioned in the pregame, is maybe the Xantara's

03:39:01.080 --> 03:39:06.080
injury. I'm not going to watch

03:39:06.080 --> 03:39:15.080
it on the mag seven. And of course, even if he's feeling fine, carrying this injury and playing with it, it's obviously a niggle that will always be in his head, which is something that's very frustrating for any player. I hope he's feeling okay. But

03:39:15.080 --> 03:39:21.000
But really finding a way to play around it with such a busy calendar is something that he's finding a way around

03:39:21.760 --> 03:39:29.160
Yeah, I mean he is the star so you're right that it is a concern for himself and for Aurora in general with him having been their best player for a long time

03:39:29.160 --> 03:39:34.920
I mean what Katie is absolutely stepped up his game this he's been extremely impressive, but you're right

03:39:34.920 --> 03:39:36.240
They've got a super busy schedule

03:39:36.240 --> 03:39:39.800
I mean they even did play at that was it a dracula and events as well

03:39:39.800 --> 03:39:44.380
Which I think quite a lot of people were surprised by trying to guarantee themselves a spot in the third stage of the major

03:39:44.380 --> 03:39:50.420
That event didn't necessarily go according to plan for them either way shifting the focus back here to round three

03:39:50.420 --> 03:39:56.260
We got our first gun run upon us and they all they're not gonna over complicate the approach with the entire team grouped up outside of

03:39:56.260 --> 03:39:58.260
Apartment and reaching their way forward

03:39:59.580 --> 03:40:01.660
Jill hold on against kins resort

03:40:01.900 --> 03:40:08.640
They know of course that the secret that magia plays B and kind of always has for aurora

03:40:10.380 --> 03:40:12.380
And to attack that early

03:40:12.380 --> 03:40:19.380
First gun round off the bat, but they'll be held at bay for now.

03:40:19.380 --> 03:40:24.900
Now sends them packing, and they don't have a whole lot of utility to try and figure out

03:40:24.900 --> 03:40:26.820
a way to get back into this round.

03:40:26.820 --> 03:40:31.460
That's their last flash that's been deployed for Sizi to get past connector, so nothing

03:40:31.460 --> 03:40:34.780
to actually aid their cause in getting into the say bombsite.

03:40:34.780 --> 03:40:38.060
Smoking to top con is quite intriguing because the entire team is kind of pathing their way

03:40:38.060 --> 03:40:39.060
in that direction.

03:40:39.060 --> 03:40:41.400
Now you've got the double angle hold you have from Sant Aris.

03:40:41.400 --> 03:40:44.720
You can hold both Catwalk and hold for a player who may be hoosting up here.

03:40:44.720 --> 03:40:49.760
He's going to spot the head of two brilliant Tron, so there from Xantar is, takes the head off both.

03:40:49.760 --> 03:40:53.400
And that should shut the round down. He will be traded, but he's done his job and then some.

03:40:54.000 --> 03:40:57.200
And Woxix on the line from Pticketbox as well.

03:40:57.200 --> 03:41:00.120
Oh, they headshot angle being peeked though.

03:41:00.520 --> 03:41:08.360
It's a hard one to connect with and Alex almost takes the kill, but Woxix will survive and elevate his angle really nicely.

03:41:08.360 --> 03:41:12.660
It's all down to Asentheal. He's got the bomb, but he's got no time

03:41:13.040 --> 03:41:17.280
He'll be trying to save the AK and under and Magik could even try and drop on him here

03:41:17.920 --> 03:41:21.980
Something to give a go considering he's so close could maybe even take him down after time

03:41:21.980 --> 03:41:27.720
He doesn't get around the angle, but just about does it was tight, but sent feel will keep his AK

03:41:28.040 --> 03:41:29.500
Yeah, squeaky bomb time

03:41:29.500 --> 03:41:33.460
I thought for a second that that magik was about to drop off maybe he doesn't commit either way

03:41:33.460 --> 03:41:39.500
It's a great start here for Aurora, just breezing their way to 3-0 start as they settle themselves

03:41:39.500 --> 03:41:40.500
into the series.

03:41:40.500 --> 03:41:44.580
Here, of course, lives on the line in the matchup against Baitloser is eliminated.

03:41:44.580 --> 03:41:48.580
Winner has to win one more best of three to get themselves into the playoffs, so it'll

03:41:48.580 --> 03:41:51.380
be one of this versus winner, or versus Navi.

03:41:51.380 --> 03:41:56.340
Not even gonna say the winner between Navi and Hotoo, but it's Navi in that low of a

03:41:56.340 --> 03:41:57.340
round.

03:41:57.340 --> 03:41:58.500
Final for Group B, and that's a hell of a game.

03:41:58.500 --> 03:42:02.020
Hey man, that's Norbert Eurasia. I will not stand for that.

03:42:03.780 --> 03:42:06.580
It will be Navi, Trav. I hate to break it to you, mate.

03:42:06.580 --> 03:42:10.500
I'm the last guy who wants to disappoint my homie, but surely that is the case.

03:42:10.500 --> 03:42:13.060
St. Yel. He's the one who kept the same game players he highlights,

03:42:13.060 --> 03:42:14.580
and he does well to at least get a kill.

03:42:14.580 --> 03:42:17.460
Now, just the last line of defence in the speedbomb site, rotations will come through,

03:42:17.460 --> 03:42:20.900
but Badger's been dealt with, and the remaining players here are locked out in market.

03:42:21.860 --> 03:42:26.100
Yeah, they got that one smoke picked up, but Soulfly will disrespect it

03:42:26.100 --> 03:42:30.580
and find a way to deny the bomb plant, but as he trades it, they're going to need Zantara's

03:42:30.580 --> 03:42:37.460
and they've got him. 3 HP stands tall. NPL 19 health, but the angle is held by Zantara's

03:42:37.460 --> 03:42:42.900
on the AWP. The quick switch coming over and Zantara's having a great start to this BO3.

03:42:45.300 --> 03:42:49.700
He really is your bang on. I mean, he's shown up in a big way immediately off the rip, and that's

03:42:49.700 --> 03:42:54.260
a scary sign here for bait because it feels like he could just 1v9 this game if he's at his best

03:42:54.260 --> 03:43:00.700
level. Surely got some solid talent. On baiting, NPL absolutely the best player with that rifle

03:43:00.700 --> 03:43:05.260
says he can blow hot, but he's just very inexperienced and it's normally these sorts

03:43:05.260 --> 03:43:09.140
of games where that inexperience can be exploited.

03:43:09.140 --> 03:43:20.140
Yeah, and baiting in general too much. I think they've just not had a good season. I mean,

03:43:20.140 --> 03:43:23.180
this might be one of their better wins if they're able to pull this one off today. We

03:43:23.180 --> 03:43:29.340
know how much they love Mirage. They would love to find an early take here, but we shall

03:43:29.340 --> 03:43:35.860
see. I think I'll get into a bit more about what I think about their season later. I think

03:43:35.860 --> 03:43:39.620
they're ever so slightly fortunate they still found a way to grind their way into the Cologne

03:43:39.620 --> 03:43:47.820
Major. Yeah, true. In that head to head between Sizi and Woxic, oh boy, feels like Woxic's

03:43:47.820 --> 03:43:52.860
probably just gonna eat him alive here but hey Bates have got nothing to lose

03:43:52.860 --> 03:43:57.440
right no expectation on their shoulders already first blood being drawn by

03:43:57.440 --> 03:44:02.600
Woxic the Dominator sent he'll cancel out of this one Bates have got a bit of a

03:44:02.600 --> 03:44:05.460
foothold in middle but it's gonna be pretty tough to try and transition from

03:44:05.460 --> 03:44:13.580
here into a bombsite. We smoke bottom con as well Santa Rosa is about to break it

03:44:13.580 --> 03:44:19.580
So he's on that line, but there are three rifles looking to maybe traverse that line.

03:44:19.580 --> 03:44:24.580
So Antares is ready, but with 30 seconds left in this one, they're going to have to go.

03:44:24.580 --> 03:44:28.580
Waiting for the fade, maybe thinking they still have time to do that, and they do.

03:44:28.580 --> 03:44:31.580
There's a pretty scary man on the other side.

03:44:31.580 --> 03:44:33.580
Won't spam it, he will fall back.

03:44:33.580 --> 03:44:37.580
Now he gets help from his sight-flowers, because Antares might need to do it all,

03:44:37.580 --> 03:44:40.580
or could cross their placement on the second, but doesn't get it.

03:44:40.580 --> 03:44:42.860
and Wakadie will not be able to get more than one from short.

03:44:42.860 --> 03:44:45.540
Now, Maga has a play to make in his 2v2.

03:44:45.540 --> 03:44:48.500
Can't complete the frag on MPL, but where is that bomb plant?

03:44:48.500 --> 03:44:51.940
Wox, it gets the kill, but you could argue

03:44:51.940 --> 03:44:54.580
maybe there was a lack of info on the second player and connector.

03:44:54.580 --> 03:44:56.500
Maybe he just didn't need to face at all.

03:44:56.500 --> 03:44:59.060
If he hid CT, maybe he wins the round.

03:45:00.500 --> 03:45:02.060
It would have been so tight, right?

03:45:02.060 --> 03:45:03.500
Trying to get that bomb from connector.

03:45:03.500 --> 03:45:05.460
There was nine seconds on the clock at that point,

03:45:05.460 --> 03:45:08.380
so he probably would have just been able to make it, but...

03:45:08.380 --> 03:45:16.780
And maybe Woxy could hold that, help that tight angle from CT on the cross onto triple and try to catch the carrier in that fashion and that would have won the round.

03:45:17.280 --> 03:45:21.680
Aurora maybe just over brawling here in a situation that's exactly what Bait would have wanted, right?

03:45:21.680 --> 03:45:30.380
Because that was probably their best chance of winning the round, it was just by virtue of getting the kills, which is something that they do to open up their account here.

03:45:30.380 --> 03:45:36.580
And because of the kills that they were able to get in the rounds they lost prior to that, it's straight into force by territory for Aurora.

03:45:38.380 --> 03:45:42.800
Yeah, 3mp9s and 4 famas.

03:45:42.800 --> 03:45:47.680
Admitting to that second orp, of course, being a main factor,

03:45:47.680 --> 03:45:49.680
with the money being a bit rough.

03:45:53.680 --> 03:45:57.680
You can find a way for bait to really integrate themselves into the game early.

03:45:57.680 --> 03:46:02.880
Of course, bait have had lots of different orpers in 2026,

03:46:02.880 --> 03:46:06.380
and while Hedrick didn't necessarily have huge X-factor,

03:46:06.380 --> 03:46:11.740
his stable nature was really the main thing that helped bait when they had explosive and maybe

03:46:11.740 --> 03:46:17.900
sometimes inconsistent riflers. Now with Sizi, another young 16-year-old, see what they've got

03:46:17.900 --> 03:46:23.340
with him today. In comes the A-play, self-flight underbalk. Flash is coming over, Acadia looking

03:46:23.340 --> 03:46:28.060
to try and get his door, but he can't save self-fly. It's well-defined too, and Woxic is still

03:46:28.060 --> 03:46:34.620
hiding under balcony. He'll get taken out by Sizi, and it's a great clear. NPL on connect it on

03:46:34.620 --> 03:46:40.620
and Tarez. Are they aware of

03:46:40.620 --> 03:46:47.620
Maga sitting on triple waiting for one of these two players to commit to the bond plant. MPL is not looking. There we go. 1v1 and sees Sizi immediately.

03:46:47.620 --> 03:46:56.620
Free AK. Can he pre-fire Sizi on this angle? 17 seconds. Maga knows Sizi has to make a move to look for that plant or look for the kill.

03:46:56.620 --> 03:47:02.620
And Maga, oh, he gets the duel but Sizi will hold on.

03:47:02.620 --> 03:47:09.620
Oh, feels like Madge had done all the hard work. He had actually timed it to perfection as he starts to shift out of that position, but Sizi will hit the shot there.

03:47:09.620 --> 03:47:16.620
Great job from him to actually save the day for his team and hold his nerve in that 1v1 back and forth throughout the round.

03:47:16.620 --> 03:47:21.620
Like he highlighted, Keely there, that kill from Wikipedia wasn't in time to keep his teammate under bulk in the alive.

03:47:21.620 --> 03:47:31.620
Woxic was trapped after he shows his hand in towards the firebox as well, and it's Sizi who will finish off the job, and with that Aurora have been condemned to an eco.

03:47:32.620 --> 03:47:40.820
AD gets a bit of information, but that is all.

03:47:40.820 --> 03:47:45.100
Kenzo's all under into push.

03:47:45.100 --> 03:47:48.100
They will try and take some control around the map, considering they have nothing to

03:47:48.100 --> 03:47:54.780
work with, and that's why Soulfly will wander into Palace with the Turkish kings and tares.

03:47:54.780 --> 03:47:59.180
They'll not be long on that throne.

03:47:59.180 --> 03:48:00.180
Hang on.

03:48:00.180 --> 03:48:01.180
Something's not looking.

03:48:01.180 --> 03:48:04.620
awful timing because I think he was looking for a split second and then looked away as

03:48:04.620 --> 03:48:08.100
Sulfly will pick forward. So now Xanti has an AK.

03:48:08.100 --> 03:48:15.500
He does, but he doesn't have a head. Well done there from KensaSault and they have a

03:48:15.500 --> 03:48:19.980
really good idea that Sulfly's here as well. He's actually with that 5.7 been able to decapitate

03:48:19.980 --> 03:48:25.980
KensaSault to try and keep this one somewhat interesting. Now, weapons not really recoverable

03:48:25.980 --> 03:48:30.180
as things stand. Time starts to tick, where Katie is going to say, fine, it's a good timing,

03:48:30.180 --> 03:48:37.380
MPL with his wits about him instantaneous on that time to kill. And my dear is going to be

03:48:37.380 --> 03:48:43.700
Susie as well with some phenomenal presence of mind there to just keep control of the opposite

03:48:43.700 --> 03:48:48.340
side of the map. Only Woxic left and it shouldn't be for much longer now that he's been spotted.

03:48:49.060 --> 03:48:53.300
And there we go. So they had done exactly what you wanted to see from Bait.

03:48:55.700 --> 03:48:59.540
And if you remember as I was kind of touching on a little bit earlier this used to be

03:48:59.540 --> 03:49:05.460
bread and butter. The bait, this map. It was, I think they got something crazy, like 19 in a row

03:49:05.460 --> 03:49:10.820
on it in tier 1.5 lands and some tier 1 events over the course of their older roster.

03:49:12.580 --> 03:49:16.020
Pretty sissy and pre-the Sekoukawa experiment as well.

03:49:18.020 --> 03:49:21.860
Yeah, true, you're right. This was like a stronghold for bait, right? And I feel like

03:49:21.860 --> 03:49:26.340
Kedtrick was one of the main reasons as to why that was the case. And you used the perfect word

03:49:26.340 --> 03:49:31.140
earlier to describe his skill set and it's stable. He was a reliable AWPer. He was a safe pair of

03:49:31.140 --> 03:49:35.060
hands. He was the kind of guy that if he was holding an angle you would back him to get the shot

03:49:35.620 --> 03:49:40.100
nine times out of ten, but he didn't really bring that x-factor. He didn't really bring that

03:49:40.900 --> 03:49:46.820
sort of play-make ability to blow rounds wide open. Maybe that's what they want from an AWPer.

03:49:48.260 --> 03:49:53.620
Maybe trading a little bit less reliability for more play-making ability.

03:49:53.620 --> 03:50:01.680
sent feel so fly not ready for that swing he was to be fair just hit the

03:50:01.680 --> 03:50:07.600
headshot like he was looking the wrong direction I just got the org out not

03:50:07.600 --> 03:50:12.160
something you see all too often anymore no it's very viable on long-range maps

03:50:12.160 --> 03:50:19.840
maybe not as much so on Mirage see the org come out a little bit on train given

03:50:19.840 --> 03:50:27.920
the new train. Oh yeah, absolutely was prolific on that map, kind of the only map like you say.

03:50:28.720 --> 03:50:34.080
Magetrono putted to Yusya on Mirage and it's not really going to be his job here in this round.

03:50:34.080 --> 03:50:37.680
His bait starts to gravitate in towards the same box like that for the Rora would be hoping for.

03:50:37.680 --> 03:50:41.360
They've got a triangle set up here, but it's Voxic who misses what should be his

03:50:42.000 --> 03:50:45.520
black used earlier bread and butter. That's a basic kill coming through that it goes arrive

03:50:45.520 --> 03:50:49.440
for Voxic. Santari is going to get forced up by the Molly. He's able to find a frag on one and

03:50:49.440 --> 03:50:53.840
some damage on a second but that man advanced drop assist fate now working against the clock

03:50:53.840 --> 03:50:58.320
with Woxic could continue to apply the pressure that allows Wacadia to activate for jungle but

03:50:58.320 --> 03:51:03.440
they've got the breathing room for a plant now and it's this magia and that tagged up Woxic

03:51:03.440 --> 03:51:07.360
so he's been able to retreat as well to a more favorable angle playing on the bricks but Woxic

03:51:07.360 --> 03:51:12.560
was waiting for it low HP doesn't matter when you have that sniper now npl they know where he

03:51:12.560 --> 03:51:18.560
threw that flash from 1v2 tap on the bomb trying to lure him out trying to get Woxic to hold the

03:51:18.560 --> 03:51:25.800
the angle but he'll miss and Maja's not able to trade. NPL with a big 1v2 and once again

03:51:25.800 --> 03:51:29.560
Aurora fumbling some rounds in the late game.

03:51:29.560 --> 03:51:34.640
Ah, two costy misses there from Wox, they can't get that kill on the initial entry

03:51:34.640 --> 03:51:38.120
onto the A bomb site and then he's holding that line there waiting for the peek to come

03:51:38.120 --> 03:51:45.480
through from jungle, not able to hit the shot there and NPL punishes. He has been the life

03:51:45.480 --> 03:51:49.800
blood of this bait roster. I mean obviously he was the IGL for a very long time on this team

03:51:49.800 --> 03:51:53.880
and he was still putting up really good numbers while he was calling. He then decided to go for

03:51:53.880 --> 03:51:57.800
somebody who was a bit calmer in the server I think was the main thing they were looking for

03:51:57.800 --> 03:52:03.960
out of Alex when they interviewed him a couple months ago so he took over in that role and NPL

03:52:03.960 --> 03:52:08.120
just continues to dominate with the rifle and provide these sorts of moments for his team.

03:52:09.640 --> 03:52:15.000
Yeah NPL for me I mean he was one of my favorite players in tier 2 and it's weird. I mean according

03:52:15.000 --> 03:52:17.000
he's not falling into an up and

03:52:17.000 --> 03:52:18.920
coming plan because he already

03:52:18.920 --> 03:52:19.920
had that chance on Navi, which

03:52:19.920 --> 03:52:22.060
you you've mentioned previously

03:52:22.060 --> 03:52:24.000
as well. Um obviously it was a

03:52:24.000 --> 03:52:25.220
little bit of a tough

03:52:25.220 --> 03:52:26.100
circumstances for him on that

03:52:26.100 --> 03:52:28.100
team. We all know what I mean

03:52:28.100 --> 03:52:30.120
by that, but yeah, I think he

03:52:30.120 --> 03:52:32.120
simple. He was totally

03:52:32.120 --> 03:52:34.120
revitalized by this fake

03:52:34.120 --> 03:52:35.120
project with it was an in game

03:52:35.120 --> 03:52:37.120
leader or now just a plane

03:52:37.120 --> 03:52:39.060
rifle with Alex on the IGL

03:52:39.060 --> 03:52:42.960
role. So. Yeah, funny that when

03:52:42.960 --> 03:52:44.120
you don't have a player who's

03:52:44.120 --> 03:52:48.360
and saying well some of us aren't ready to be playing at LAN events so I have no idea

03:52:48.360 --> 03:52:52.840
how we're going to do anything at this tournament when some of us are completely inexperienced.

03:52:52.840 --> 03:52:56.840
Okay Matt we get it.

03:52:56.840 --> 03:53:01.360
I'm not sure.

03:53:01.360 --> 03:53:04.680
Either way that was a long time ago.

03:53:04.680 --> 03:53:06.440
I feel like you would have learnt a lot from that.

03:53:06.440 --> 03:53:11.800
Obviously it would have been a really rough time for him but diamonds are made under pressure

03:53:11.800 --> 03:53:14.800
and NPL is certainly coming to his own since then.

03:53:20.800 --> 03:53:24.800
Let Axe is creeping up short here with a couple of teammates around him.

03:53:25.800 --> 03:53:30.800
And Maja, well I'm afraid, I'm not sure he's going to be standing for too much longer.

03:53:31.800 --> 03:53:33.800
MP9 only, there's a half-buy.

03:53:34.800 --> 03:53:37.800
Because he's seen Woxic on the rotation and Mikado tries to come and help out,

03:53:37.800 --> 03:53:40.800
but Maja had no information on short whatsoever.

03:53:40.800 --> 03:53:46.260
And maybe that wasn't communicated over to Wikipedia to be honest with you as you will get one he tries is up most

03:53:46.260 --> 03:53:49.300
But Alex gets the kill round over five for the lead

03:53:50.800 --> 03:53:57.520
Yeah, nice call here with the way that they weaved their way through the round up middle without any pressure or any sort of issues and then just

03:53:58.200 --> 03:54:00.200
Snap right on to that B bombsite

03:54:00.720 --> 03:54:05.960
able to isolate Maja and obviously once they got that initial kill onto Wikipedia

03:54:05.960 --> 03:54:11.080
I think it was it was just a freebie from there regardless of even if magic got that second kill

03:54:11.080 --> 03:54:14.080
I don't think they would have had any trouble and actually winning the round itself

03:54:16.040 --> 03:54:18.960
Like you say a lead now for bait as they go up 5-4

03:54:19.400 --> 03:54:23.240
It was Aurora who had come out the gate swinging it was a 4-0 start for them

03:54:23.240 --> 03:54:27.080
But it's a five round streak response here from baits. Yeah, and they're you know in general

03:54:27.080 --> 03:54:32.520
There are always incredibly high expectations for Aurora, especially obviously at home in Turkey

03:54:32.520 --> 03:54:39.440
and overall in this year, I feel like they've exceeded them and lived up to them because I think it's all fly

03:54:39.760 --> 03:54:44.120
Was a bit rough to begin with and then really is coming to his own in these difficult roles on the team

03:54:44.960 --> 03:54:49.740
Maybe playing with Magia back in the sangal days helping him with that

03:54:50.080 --> 03:54:54.840
Comfortability on the roster. I didn't think it would take him a little bit longer than it had and he's been doing fine

03:54:54.840 --> 03:54:57.840
And some of those difficult positions, but very clearly Aurora

03:54:57.840 --> 03:55:03.080
So I have those inconsistencies that plague them even though they do more often than not make clouds and it did you really well to

03:55:03.120 --> 03:55:05.120
Get that final ESL Pro League

03:55:05.840 --> 03:55:07.920
then they

03:55:07.920 --> 03:55:10.320
Look poor they can look like

03:55:11.640 --> 03:55:15.760
But worrying for the entirety of the Turkish fan base, that's for sure

03:55:18.760 --> 03:55:24.720
Yeah, I will say I mean soul flies completely exceeded my expectations because he was a player that you and I were covering a lot

03:55:24.720 --> 03:55:28.640
is here too. Either way, more on that just now because it's going to be a really important

03:55:28.640 --> 03:55:31.720
gun round here for Aurora to try and put a stop to the momentum that's being built up

03:55:31.720 --> 03:55:36.840
here by Bay kills go back and forth. The 4B4 ensues in the Dust will settle. Now Bates

03:55:36.840 --> 03:55:40.920
have been really good at just slowing down these rounds and getting themselves into a

03:55:40.920 --> 03:55:46.520
shape. Even when they leave minimal time in the clock they're still able to make it work.

03:55:46.520 --> 03:55:50.360
Keeping their options available, one player ramp bombscooped up and MPL is going to join

03:55:50.360 --> 03:55:52.720
up with the centiel over towards that side of the map.

03:55:54.720 --> 03:56:02.880
that join up and take a little bit more time but they've got it to use. Once again

03:56:02.880 --> 03:56:10.520
the players on A but not really playing a position that can affect the site take

03:56:10.520 --> 03:56:14.560
early but now as Antares maneuvering back towards stairs that might be a bit of a

03:56:14.560 --> 03:56:19.120
difference. This is on the line and there's a swing of random timing,

03:56:19.120 --> 03:56:22.800
information swing from Zantares works really well and big knee damage and

03:56:22.800 --> 03:56:24.800
and the Centiole really good job

03:56:24.800 --> 03:56:26.200
and a lovely swing into card.

03:56:26.200 --> 03:56:28.080
That is what Zantare is all about.

03:56:28.080 --> 03:56:30.840
The Zantare's peak is back in this round

03:56:30.840 --> 03:56:32.400
and Soulflow will hold on from triple.

03:56:32.400 --> 03:56:35.160
The Centiole lasts alive 20 seconds

03:56:35.160 --> 03:56:36.840
and he might just try and slip away.

03:56:36.840 --> 03:56:39.800
Will he even be allowed to with that AWP recovered?

03:56:39.800 --> 03:56:40.640
Just about.

03:56:42.520 --> 03:56:44.440
Yeah, well figured out there from Aurora.

03:56:44.440 --> 03:56:47.120
They were kind of able to glean what was going on there

03:56:47.120 --> 03:56:48.680
once they saw the pressure from middle

03:56:48.680 --> 03:56:50.080
and then some presence over at ramp.

03:56:50.080 --> 03:56:51.120
It's like a kid boys.

03:56:51.120 --> 03:56:52.000
This is the A-split.

03:56:52.000 --> 03:56:57.640
We've got to set ourselves up accordingly and they're able to deal with it decisively to tie up the score line there

03:56:58.840 --> 03:57:00.840
Hit themselves back in the game

03:57:01.440 --> 03:57:06.160
Of course, this is baits map pick. We know how dangerous they are on mirage really difficult to contain

03:57:06.320 --> 03:57:10.060
They're not the type of squad that's going to be bringing these set players into each round there

03:57:10.060 --> 03:57:14.000
And that's what makes them difficult because you can't just try and like anti-strat them and it's not like there's

03:57:14.320 --> 03:57:19.420
Obvious tells about what they're going to be doing based off certain sets of utility. They mostly just default their way

03:57:19.420 --> 03:57:23.500
It's quite like a loose style that comes through Alex is a lot of autonomy for the individuals

03:57:23.500 --> 03:57:28.380
And then they kind of like I say build themselves into the round based off what they're able to figure out in the mid round

03:57:31.540 --> 03:57:36.060
We'll see if that comes to the four as this series progresses

03:57:40.180 --> 03:57:47.700
Bait season kind of propped up by the fact that it didn't still find a way to qualify color and really only coming due to

03:57:47.700 --> 03:57:53.660
winning that parkin event in Denmark and there's local pop-up lands which they

03:57:53.660 --> 03:57:57.860
managed to beat 3d max and bestia so in that tournament they'd lose to 3d earlier

03:57:57.860 --> 03:58:03.220
in the tournament but they made up for it when it matters those points to scrape

03:58:03.220 --> 03:58:05.940
into cologne

03:58:07.300 --> 03:58:11.180
you're right that was definitely the difference maker right because I don't

03:58:11.180 --> 03:58:14.220
think they were really on track to to make the major difference for that

03:58:14.220 --> 03:58:20.340
tournaments. Great opening kill from Kenzis or so. Frequently the man to open up these

03:58:20.340 --> 03:58:23.860
rounds here for or bait attempts. A hell of a lot of their opening jewels. More so than

03:58:23.860 --> 03:58:28.540
most entry frags do. Yeah, for the T side of baits and the maps that they play. And

03:58:28.540 --> 03:58:32.340
again, he's got a lot to decide to go searching. Xantares wants to try and get one back and

03:58:32.340 --> 03:58:36.820
he does trade onto Kenzis. So, but it's a lovely little jiggle peak frag coming through

03:58:36.820 --> 03:58:41.180
from NPL. Low on health, but that doesn't deter him. He still gets the job done.

03:58:41.180 --> 03:58:43.180
A little pre-fire that was.

03:58:43.180 --> 03:58:47.180
Vantares will get his one again, but will go down, but MPL,

03:58:47.180 --> 03:58:53.180
would be the only way he felt comfortable going for that trade kill, being 16 HP.

03:58:54.180 --> 03:58:58.180
Dolphine will rotate back into jungle. He's the main man on the AD fence,

03:58:58.180 --> 03:59:01.180
but they are going to get Wikipedia over there now as well.

03:59:02.180 --> 03:59:05.180
Two already out ramp, one on Tetris.

03:59:05.180 --> 03:59:10.180
And Wikipedia is going to peek further forward to look for that, and then sees the gun barrel pop out.

03:59:10.180 --> 03:59:14.020
How long is this percentile gonna stand from there? The answer is not much longer.

03:59:14.020 --> 03:59:18.580
Wacadia, good job. And now Sizi is a very hard trade on that headshot angle with the AWP.

03:59:18.580 --> 03:59:23.580
They're really good repositioning from Wacadia. Taking the elevated ground, are beautifully done.

03:59:23.580 --> 03:59:28.180
Back down to under, that gets Soulfly activated. He finds Sizi, an MPL.

03:59:28.180 --> 03:59:31.180
He might have started the round, but he will not be able to end it.

03:59:33.980 --> 03:59:38.180
Exceptional work hard for Wacadia, man. A massive multi coming through from him.

03:59:38.180 --> 03:59:44.340
And it's only npl left remaining with no chance obviously just gonna have to hold on to his ak to carry the cross into the next

03:59:44.340 --> 03:59:45.940
And when you look at the finances you have a baits

03:59:45.940 --> 03:59:48.420
It's gonna be pots and pans pieced around the safe rifle

03:59:48.420 --> 03:59:53.400
So then to try and work with fitting pots and pans would be if the straw was played in the kitchen

03:59:53.400 --> 03:59:57.260
So where npl is now not the best manners for him standing on the counter

03:59:58.460 --> 04:00:00.460
And kind of strike though will let it slide

04:00:03.460 --> 04:00:06.060
What take Trav go on

04:00:06.060 --> 04:00:09.260
You ready? I'm holding my chair right now.

04:00:09.260 --> 04:00:11.900
Alright, you might need to.

04:00:11.900 --> 04:00:13.580
Chats, let's see what you guys think.

04:00:13.580 --> 04:00:16.980
Best Rifle for Aurora in 2026?

04:00:16.980 --> 04:00:24.260
Well, I'll say it's a lukewarm take from you on that one.

04:00:24.260 --> 04:00:26.660
Alright, yeah. Maybe I oversold it.

04:00:26.660 --> 04:00:27.860
You definitely oversold it.

04:00:27.860 --> 04:00:30.860
But it is, it is for crazy to think though, right?

04:00:30.860 --> 04:00:35.540
I mean, if you'd told me that would be the case like nine to twelve months ago, I maybe

04:00:35.540 --> 04:00:38.340
would laugh a little bit so it's just amazing to see his evolution and

04:00:38.340 --> 04:00:43.220
development. I mean yeah I'd love to watch him ever since he came through and

04:00:43.220 --> 04:00:48.740
super enjoyable. He's like a mini Zantara in many ways and now maybe these

04:00:48.740 --> 04:00:58.700
days his air, or even his superior. We'll see. Certainly the air feels that way. I

04:00:58.700 --> 04:01:01.820
like that way of it being described as it's gonna be an executing towards a

04:01:01.820 --> 04:01:06.260
bombsite piece to get a zantara is super prepared for that boost up into snipers and that's

04:01:06.260 --> 04:01:10.020
going to be info game because that came silently and he couldn't have gotten up there without

04:01:10.020 --> 04:01:13.580
giving away the audio cue without the second player in position.

04:01:13.580 --> 04:01:17.720
Yeah and with the dig being heard and ramped from kensas all he's not really got much

04:01:17.720 --> 04:01:20.460
say in Aurora I know they have full control of it.

04:01:20.460 --> 04:01:23.940
Shea-ma had a pretty rough fight at the end of this first half, always a very painful

04:01:23.940 --> 04:01:31.700
one for any team when you're on what is pretty much a dig force and it's a far round of the

04:01:31.700 --> 04:01:38.900
half. Nothing to grow with. MPL already tagged down on his AK. Now Magi, as we fly into his POV,

04:01:40.020 --> 04:01:43.140
he's got rotations already coming his way. They know the A-bomb site is clear, there's been a

04:01:43.140 --> 04:01:48.180
little bit of a check by Soulfly, and Woxic, again an uncharacteristic miss, but the thing is,

04:01:48.180 --> 04:01:52.020
Magi is still here, and so is Zantaro's now. There is no way out of those apartments,

04:01:52.660 --> 04:01:56.180
because he will give it a go, but now the time is really getting lower, and Zantaro is about to

04:01:56.180 --> 04:02:01.820
be cleared. Almost a double spray down. AK retrieved, but 9 seconds has to pick up the

04:02:01.820 --> 04:02:05.460
bomb and get onto the site to get it planted somehow. We go for a tap to begin with, but

04:02:05.460 --> 04:02:10.700
surely that doesn't work. Actually a crazy edge on Wikipedia, but the trade is quick

04:02:10.700 --> 04:02:15.140
and Aurora will recover a good streak in that half from bait, but it will be Aurora to win

04:02:15.140 --> 04:02:17.140
the half 7-5. See you in a minute.

04:05:26.180 --> 04:05:35.120
Aurora do well to nudge ahead against bait and what has always been a great map for the

04:05:35.120 --> 04:05:40.160
Ukrainians but I do think there's a long way to go in this one.

04:05:40.160 --> 04:05:44.120
Of course Aurora going over to their two sides now where a lot of their troubles have arisen

04:05:44.120 --> 04:05:50.440
as of late and we'll see if that will arise once again to stop them from getting themselves

04:05:50.440 --> 04:05:51.440
over the line.

04:05:51.440 --> 04:05:56.840
Yeah, I mean, there was a nice streak of five there from Bates in the middle of a half,

04:05:56.840 --> 04:06:00.380
but it's Aurora who claimed those final two rounds to give themselves a bit of a legia.

04:06:00.380 --> 04:06:04.940
Noses in front coming into the T side of Mirage.

04:06:04.940 --> 04:06:10.300
We know that Major is a tactical master, and again it's going to be an execute here to

04:06:10.300 --> 04:06:12.060
try and get the job done in the pistol.

04:06:12.060 --> 04:06:14.460
Smoke top con, Molly, deep jungle.

04:06:14.460 --> 04:06:18.500
Now they have got one more smoke left remaining, and I'm wondering what the intention is for

04:06:18.500 --> 04:06:19.500
that smoke.

04:06:19.500 --> 04:06:22.820
room for MPL to play with behind the molly, but you can't do anything about the players

04:06:22.820 --> 04:06:27.820
actually getting onto the bomb site. It's a plant on the front side of triple and there's

04:06:27.820 --> 04:06:32.620
that secondary smoke being thrown deep into snipers. It's going to be a really difficult

04:06:32.620 --> 04:06:37.100
retake here for Bait with the post plant positions that have been taken up by this T side, especially

04:06:37.100 --> 04:06:39.940
with Woxic. Oh, I was going to say, going the long way around, but he decides against

04:06:39.940 --> 04:06:42.100
it. Alex has got the smoke kit, so that is the

04:06:42.100 --> 04:06:46.300
one thing going in their favour, but that won't go in their favour. So if I remove the

04:06:46.300 --> 04:06:51.100
with in kenz is all and they need to force away in but zamtara has stopped MPL that kit is now

04:06:51.740 --> 04:06:56.700
still alive but it's on the site trying to force its way in and it just won't be able to it's on

04:06:56.700 --> 04:07:02.060
the ground now and ascent feel is caught from the three separate angles really nice pistol to marora

04:07:02.060 --> 04:07:05.980
there was a bit of a fake info with that early gush and MPL which could have come back to bite

04:07:05.980 --> 04:07:12.060
them later in the round it did get that little gush sound cue but it was only for like 15 damage

04:07:12.060 --> 04:07:16.940
Then it doesn't need anything, and the roar will throw in a really nice T-Pistol.

04:07:20.620 --> 04:07:25.100
They're very well done to boost themselves now coming into the second half here on Bates' map.

04:07:25.100 --> 04:07:29.180
That's exactly what they would have wanted to kickstart their campaign on the T side of Mirage,

04:07:29.180 --> 04:07:34.620
where they do tend to struggle a little bit. I mean, obviously, most teams favor the CT side,

04:07:34.620 --> 04:07:41.260
sometimes Aurora will have their issues here, so getting the pistol round is a nice boost for them.

04:07:42.060 --> 04:07:47.060
Full save from Baytrap, putting a lot of eggs in the basket of that next round.

04:07:47.060 --> 04:07:51.060
If they lose that next round, then it's 11-5 before they get a reinvestment,

04:07:51.060 --> 04:07:54.060
and surely that would be an unassailable lead for Aurora.

04:07:56.060 --> 04:07:59.060
Alex's still waiting in Palace with the Zeus,

04:07:59.060 --> 04:08:03.060
but Xantara's gives him something.

04:08:04.060 --> 04:08:06.060
Too far away, surely?

04:08:06.060 --> 04:08:09.060
Yeah, that's not going to happen.

04:08:09.060 --> 04:08:14.060
and already sees the arm and knows what's coming.

04:08:20.060 --> 04:08:24.060
Well done. Nice and easy there for Aurora making light work of the eco

04:08:24.060 --> 04:08:27.060
and this is where there's a lot of pressure now on Bay coming into the gun round

04:08:27.060 --> 04:08:31.060
and Aurora will recognize that they know that Bates chances here in Mirage

04:08:31.060 --> 04:08:34.060
basically hinge on this round. So if they can win this round right here

04:08:34.060 --> 04:08:36.060
they've all but put Mirage away.

04:08:36.060 --> 04:08:40.860
This is why I'm keen to see what manager actually decides to call. What what do they try and fall back on?

04:08:41.100 --> 04:08:46.900
It's a team that very infrequently will just rush in rounds. You very rarely ever see a roar

04:08:46.900 --> 04:08:52.140
It's go for a straight up B rush from spawn. There's always a little bit of tactical depth to their approach

04:08:52.460 --> 04:08:56.420
And this one will be no difference. It's gonna be a default here to test the defense. Oh

04:08:58.180 --> 04:09:03.940
That's gonna be in the lanes where sent the LES 10 HP before he's even had a chance to play round 15

04:09:03.940 --> 04:09:10.260
a little bit too wide of a jump spot you could argue. There are different ways of going about

04:09:10.260 --> 04:09:18.420
jump spotting on Valorant, which usually leave you less exposed to damage. I'll get punished for it.

04:09:26.180 --> 04:09:30.020
And with that pressure shown in Sir Apartments Aurora, now we're going to shift their focus

04:09:30.020 --> 04:09:34.740
away from that side of the map entirely and because this MPL is so low, they're feeling

04:09:34.740 --> 04:09:40.660
compelled to maybe lean an extra player in that direction. MPL has all but committed

04:09:40.660 --> 04:09:43.500
and now they're going to realise that that's the wrong decision with the util starting

04:09:43.500 --> 04:09:47.220
to barrel in towards a bomb site scissor with a job to do. Unfortunately, it gets blinded

04:09:47.220 --> 04:09:50.500
up so you can't do much about the players entering through ramp. It's going to be xantares

04:09:50.500 --> 04:09:55.620
to draw first blood as well. Aurora rule with an iron fist to say take control of A. It's

04:09:55.620 --> 04:09:58.900
another great flash to enable the palace player on the swing.

04:09:58.900 --> 04:10:05.140
Very good, an MPL stuck in CT on the bin, not being cleared properly, but soon as one

04:10:05.140 --> 04:10:08.860
player peeks forward, that's when Maja will be there to trade.

04:10:08.860 --> 04:10:17.580
In the draw, trying to save, not able to, and Porilas Enthiel, who got taken into the

04:10:17.580 --> 04:10:21.220
tinnage pit at the beginning of the round with nothing to do, will just go down into

04:10:21.220 --> 04:10:27.220
around anyway. Painful and Aurora starting to show some of their superiority and Zantares is having

04:10:27.220 --> 04:10:33.620
a very overdue great game. Yeah, I mean they haven't even broken a sweat you have there. I mean,

04:10:33.620 --> 04:10:37.300
obviously, there's a bit of a streak there from bait in the first half, but Aurora just assumed

04:10:37.300 --> 04:10:42.500
full control. It was a really well constructed run from them. Everything going according to plan.

04:10:42.500 --> 04:10:46.260
There was never a moment where they had to kind of try and break out of the mold and make a play

04:10:46.260 --> 04:10:49.780
where things maybe you didn't, like there was no spanners thrown in the works. There was nothing

04:10:49.780 --> 04:10:54.380
in chaotic that threw them off their course. Checks and balances all working out perfectly

04:10:54.380 --> 04:10:59.560
as they crossed their T's and got their eyes. Their flashes were brilliant. Just never giving

04:10:59.560 --> 04:11:06.560
those T's a chance in those duels. And it's now going to have to be a light buy here from

04:11:06.560 --> 04:11:10.700
Bay to South Aurora getting up to 11, but I don't think that that's going to work out

04:11:10.700 --> 04:11:13.260
and I'll tell you how good Aurora have looked in these past few.

04:11:13.260 --> 04:11:18.900
Yeah, I mean the main criticism of Aurora lately really has been the T side calling,

04:11:18.900 --> 04:11:22.700
There's there's two things that are reality that need to be reminded

04:11:23.500 --> 04:11:25.500
People need to be reminded of I think

04:11:25.580 --> 04:11:31.660
Firstly, there is no better Turkish in-game leader out there for Aurora if they want to say full Turkish

04:11:31.660 --> 04:11:37.100
And then we had that crazy rumor from that sponge mentioned recently, which I'm sure some of you guys know what I'm talking about

04:11:38.420 --> 04:11:44.180
And yeah, there's no one from tier two really in the Turkish scene for me that would have any

04:11:44.180 --> 04:11:49.980
any improvement to this. Exactly. We'll give any improvement to this Aurora team. And if

04:11:49.980 --> 04:11:54.780
you look at where Aurora were as a turn on fire when they dropped Magia and tried Wox

04:11:54.780 --> 04:11:59.180
it because the AWP in game leader, they're a tier two team back then. There's a big difference

04:11:59.180 --> 04:12:03.740
now obviously. There's a reason. There's a big reason. More than is a Bacadia. That is

04:12:03.740 --> 04:12:08.860
a big difference. But yeah, as you say, a reason he got picked back up again.

04:12:08.860 --> 04:12:17.180
He's also a captain because there's often the two words become synonymous with one

04:12:17.180 --> 04:12:18.700
another IGL and captain.

04:12:18.700 --> 04:12:20.380
The commander is a leader.

04:12:20.380 --> 04:12:22.220
You'll often see him taking the responsibility.

04:12:22.220 --> 04:12:24.420
You'll see him trying to G up the troops on the server.

04:12:24.420 --> 04:12:30.780
You'll see him often taking responsibility to shield some of the team around him.

04:12:30.780 --> 04:12:34.780
And that is the job done here against the half by easy work.

04:12:34.780 --> 04:12:37.140
Aurora just milked those free frags.

04:12:37.140 --> 04:12:39.460
And Salfly for me has also been a revelation.

04:12:39.460 --> 04:12:43.540
I mean, obviously it maybe would have caught them a little bit off guard that Yota had left the team.

04:12:43.540 --> 04:12:45.460
And it's like, well, where do you even go to?

04:12:45.460 --> 04:12:47.980
Sure, it's almost impossible to replace Madge in this team,

04:12:47.980 --> 04:12:50.580
but it's not like there's any outstanding Turkish players out there,

04:12:50.580 --> 04:12:54.220
besides X-Flight, obviously, that you could just immediately start into this team.

04:12:54.220 --> 04:12:58.260
And Salfly was kind of languishing around tier three for me before he got picked up,

04:12:58.260 --> 04:13:02.700
and he wasn't really on anybody's lips in terms of players that Aurora would have been considering.

04:13:02.700 --> 04:13:06.140
But he's taken like a duck to order at this level, which is really impressive.

04:13:06.140 --> 04:13:07.500
Oh, nice pick from Sizi.

04:13:07.500 --> 04:13:12.700
And yeah, funnily enough, to pick up on your point, I think Soulfly is a player that I've always liked,

04:13:12.700 --> 04:13:15.260
having watched him since the beginning of his career, really.

04:13:15.260 --> 04:13:21.820
And he was a one Turkish player that I always felt deserved one shot at the big Turkish team with,

04:13:21.820 --> 04:13:25.580
you know, the Zantares and Woxic duo that never got it yet.

04:13:25.580 --> 04:13:27.980
I'm so glad that he's playing pretty well with it at the moment.

04:13:27.980 --> 04:13:33.460
the team. Well, MPL will

04:13:33.460 --> 04:13:35.060
manage to remove his entire is

04:13:35.060 --> 04:13:36.060
in this round, though, and they

04:13:36.060 --> 04:13:38.060
do have a 403 here baits on the

04:13:38.060 --> 04:13:40.060
defense for Katie will drop as

04:13:40.060 --> 04:13:42.060
well. Imagine and so flight in

04:13:42.060 --> 04:13:44.060
a two V three. I've got chance

04:13:44.060 --> 04:13:46.060
to remove MPL from the stairs,

04:13:46.060 --> 04:13:47.060
but really good movement there

04:13:47.060 --> 04:13:49.060
from MPL to make himself awkward

04:13:49.060 --> 04:13:51.060
to hit. Maybe that will change

04:13:51.060 --> 04:13:53.060
win any and in graph two is out,

04:13:53.060 --> 04:13:55.060
which is obviously in the in the

04:13:55.060 --> 04:13:57.060
beta right now. Maybe but what

04:13:57.060 --> 04:14:02.060
but also wonderful comes up before the major.

04:14:02.500 --> 04:14:04.420
That's one of the big conversations swirling around

04:14:04.420 --> 04:14:05.540
at the moment.

04:14:05.540 --> 04:14:08.100
Steps here, heard by Susie.

04:14:08.100 --> 04:14:09.420
Gonna be able to post on the angle

04:14:09.420 --> 04:14:10.740
and it will be the freest of frags.

04:14:10.740 --> 04:14:12.780
Four homers, Magi just runs straight into the scope.

04:14:12.780 --> 04:14:14.660
Was hoping that maybe you've been able to get ahead

04:14:14.660 --> 04:14:17.300
of the game there with that quick shift over towards B

04:14:17.300 --> 04:14:19.260
but it's gonna be bait who hold on

04:14:19.260 --> 04:14:20.420
and are able to deal with the threat.

04:14:20.420 --> 04:14:23.380
It felt like Wikipedia may have been able to get bait out

04:14:23.380 --> 04:14:25.660
from the back line to that boost up into snipers

04:14:25.660 --> 04:14:29.660
But now he was taken down really low which made his jewel very difficult.

04:14:29.660 --> 04:14:33.660
MPL does a fantastic job here around the stairs with three key kills coming through from him.

04:14:33.660 --> 04:14:41.660
There's like a lot of the successes here for baits on Mirage have been born off of big moments from MPL and that one's no different.

04:14:41.660 --> 04:15:01.500
Now he does a bit of damage on Wacadia but he'll avoid the brunt of it.

04:15:01.500 --> 04:15:07.780
Once again as you were describing no opening picks given up by Aurora here, the main things

04:15:07.780 --> 04:15:13.720
they try not to do in these gun rounds no one wants it obviously but as you

04:15:13.720 --> 04:15:22.720
described earlier the bit of a staple of a Aurora T side and MPL well that'll

04:15:22.720 --> 04:15:28.780
help revenge there that's big damage with the HG it was actually a really nice

04:15:28.780 --> 04:15:32.320
bit of movement to throw that made as well stepping backwards while throwing

04:15:32.320 --> 04:15:37.560
the need to kind of lob it a little bit there and right on target now they set

04:15:37.560 --> 04:15:40.760
their sights in on the speed bomb site with a lot of emphasis in towards you, to try and

04:15:40.760 --> 04:15:42.920
draw that catwalk player away.

04:15:42.920 --> 04:15:44.980
Oh, what the hell happened there?

04:15:44.980 --> 04:15:48.240
Magi attack by Stizzy, I believe, and a sentiel would do a really good job to try and lock

04:15:48.240 --> 04:15:50.280
these players in on apartments, but oh.

04:15:50.280 --> 04:15:53.800
Xantara's will breach back, it's Woxic on the long line, a flurry of frags, Xantara

04:15:53.800 --> 04:15:57.640
is doubles down on entry duty, Magi are in the opposite side of the map, he's done good

04:15:57.640 --> 04:16:01.880
damage to Alex, he's got intel in the process as well, and it's a retake required here from

04:16:01.880 --> 04:16:05.600
bait if they even want to risk it and roll the dice because look at their money, or lack

04:16:05.600 --> 04:16:06.600
thereof.

04:16:06.600 --> 04:16:13.560
like it's gonna let Aurora have 12 here, unfortunately. Nothing much they can do. And again, it wasn't a

04:16:13.560 --> 04:16:17.560
guarantee that they were going to be able to break through in that round, but that's what Aurora can

04:16:17.560 --> 04:16:22.760
do when you've got Zantara is playing well. Two quick headshots, 23 and 10 now in the game.

04:16:24.040 --> 04:16:31.560
The crack in that B-bomb side was taken by him. And in the end, he also cracked it open.

04:16:31.560 --> 04:16:35.440
that help from Woxic catching the rotation coming into market.

04:16:35.440 --> 04:16:37.440
This means you can get your AWPer on that line,

04:16:37.440 --> 04:16:40.940
and you don't have to give up any free kills by jumping into the site.

04:16:41.940 --> 04:16:45.300
You know, it's going to be difficult for the CTs to get back in.

04:16:45.800 --> 04:16:48.500
And they have double the score of bait right now.

04:16:51.500 --> 04:16:57.100
Six chances for Aurora to go up 1-0 here in this lower bracket second round matchup.

04:16:57.100 --> 04:17:02.980
Of course winner of this plays against the winner between Navi and Hattu, it's a little

04:17:02.980 --> 04:17:06.020
bit of a check in, see what's happening over on the A stream.

04:17:06.020 --> 04:17:12.300
Alright, well it's Navi who prevailed on map 1 with a 13-7 win, convincing for them

04:17:12.300 --> 04:17:16.580
on Hattu's map pick of Dust2 which has been a bit of a stronghold for Hattu, they get

04:17:16.580 --> 04:17:23.020
manhandled there, I mean Navi versus Aurora for a spot in the arena at Rio will be a sumptuous

04:17:23.020 --> 04:17:27.100
Sure, I mean that one could go either way. We know what Navi have been like lately

04:17:27.100 --> 04:17:31.000
They've met lots of people are saying that the closest contender to vitality

04:17:31.000 --> 04:17:37.980
I wouldn't even necessarily disagree with that in a way, but the consistency is something that they just haven't been able to find and more

04:17:37.980 --> 04:17:45.360
From the not they get drawn into these long games and always go three maps that game against a furia last night was crazy. I

04:17:47.060 --> 04:17:52.740
Very much enjoyed that one in my downtime after covering the B stream very entertaining crazy

04:17:52.740 --> 04:17:59.200
he come back from Furia to get the arena confirmed. Alex on site, they were to help from Balcony

04:17:59.200 --> 04:18:04.060
on Kenzizawa, but Aurora just walking out and that might be a bit unexpected. Great

04:18:04.060 --> 04:18:08.380
clear from Wikipedia. And Kenzizawa is stuck on the back and they know he's there. So

04:18:08.380 --> 04:18:13.420
they will try and clear him and in turn actually get exposed to NPL and he actually gets a

04:18:13.420 --> 04:18:16.940
second on Zantara as well. He's about to get peaked from stairs, he had no idea that

04:18:16.940 --> 04:18:20.940
That was coming. More great work from Wikipedia.

04:18:21.940 --> 04:18:29.940
3v2. I'm not down yet, but Sizi in a senthiel, not really in position to do much about it, senthiel big flank short.

04:18:29.940 --> 04:18:34.940
Actually, I thought Waxxick was aware of that, but I lied. He was not, and he'll go down.

04:18:34.940 --> 04:18:38.940
Thing is, there's an open duel to take its magic, and you thought he was going to get that for a second.

04:18:38.940 --> 04:18:42.940
Now Sizi has to get both kills with a USP, 4 and 9 HP.

04:18:42.940 --> 04:18:48.660
HP is there a world they're dancing around the site now playing time really awkward for Aurora here

04:18:48.660 --> 04:18:52.240
There's one now Sizi has the utility to use kit available

04:18:52.240 --> 04:18:57.960
The Katie's got all the way around to bottom con and Sizi might choose to hold it where Katie I can't see him and

04:18:58.140 --> 04:19:00.140
bait I could have stay alive

04:19:01.860 --> 04:19:05.700
Can you even believe it that was all over the place and then says he just stands on the slow

04:19:05.700 --> 04:19:08.500
Oh, the woods and what Katie up will get the kill

04:19:08.500 --> 04:19:13.420
I think it's almost like you just turn his brain off once you got into fuse

04:19:13.420 --> 04:19:14.940
Maybe couldn't even believe it himself

04:19:14.940 --> 04:19:20.700
He just had to catch his breath trap because that was ridiculous all over the place well done from Susie to hold

04:19:20.700 --> 04:19:24.960
His nerve the young star the new boy on the block will save the day

04:19:26.220 --> 04:19:31.860
And then catch a hail of bullets, but at least he can still re-afford the open brain phrase

04:19:32.820 --> 04:19:37.900
In end around time before freeze time. Oh, that was funny

04:19:38.500 --> 04:19:44.500
He won't care, he's won the round and he's still got an AWP in the following, but maybe a slight lesson to be learned there at the 16 year old.

04:19:46.000 --> 04:19:53.500
I mean, I will say, really smart positioning for him in the diffuse, right? Because he goes on the opposite side of Trouble and you could see where Katie had no idea of that.

04:19:53.500 --> 04:19:56.500
I mean, obviously there's a smoke, but it helped him out even more.

04:19:56.500 --> 04:20:09.100
full A exec here for Aurora something they usually go back to in a round like that sort

04:20:09.100 --> 04:20:12.660
of happens there's brute force their way to victory they're trying it again and walks

04:20:12.660 --> 04:20:17.340
it go get the entry on scissor this time no heroics from the bait all upon this occasion

04:20:17.340 --> 04:20:20.240
it might have to be Alex instead they got a peak from stairs to worry about and a peak

04:20:20.240 --> 04:20:26.000
from Bench as well, but SoulFly and Santarez will find a way to delete both of them.

04:20:26.000 --> 04:20:33.120
Another 3v2 here for Aurora to try and finish off the job.

04:20:33.120 --> 04:20:37.040
Put a utility in play, he's sent here into Palace, and they're going to want to try and

04:20:37.040 --> 04:20:40.160
make a move while that is in Send here, he's in play to try and isolate these jewels over

04:20:40.160 --> 04:20:41.160
at Ramp.

04:20:41.160 --> 04:20:45.800
No kid, means that time is of the essence, and Magus scooped up the warp off of Wox's

04:20:45.800 --> 04:20:47.800
and body. It's now all on

04:20:47.800 --> 04:20:49.800
essential and it's essential

04:20:49.800 --> 04:20:50.800
that he is able to win this one.

04:20:50.800 --> 04:20:51.800
Haha low hanging

04:20:51.800 --> 04:20:52.800
food's got to be picked as well

04:20:52.800 --> 04:20:54.800
as essential does find that pick

04:20:54.800 --> 04:20:55.800
imagine but like I said without a

04:20:55.800 --> 04:20:56.800
kid to this one is impossible

04:20:56.800 --> 04:20:58.800
and it's going to be Zantares

04:20:58.800 --> 04:21:00.800
who walks around the smoke Aurora

04:21:00.800 --> 04:21:01.800
get the job done without even

04:21:01.800 --> 04:21:02.800
really breaking much of a sweat

04:21:02.800 --> 04:21:04.800
on their opponent's map.

04:21:04.800 --> 04:21:05.800
Yeah and that's a really important

04:21:05.800 --> 04:21:06.800
one because I think Zantares

04:21:06.800 --> 04:21:08.800
firstly he was online

04:21:08.800 --> 04:21:09.800
that's the most important part

04:21:09.800 --> 04:21:11.800
for me he's been a bit up and down

04:21:11.800 --> 04:21:12.800
of course the hand injury is a

04:21:12.800 --> 04:21:19.280
injury is a factor and in the end we've seen Aurora choke games before from big leads especially

04:21:19.280 --> 04:21:25.280
when rounds are going to arrive like the scissi DQs we just saw. They're able to find a way to

04:21:25.280 --> 04:21:29.360
close that on this occasion. It's a good sign it was that comfortable considering Bait had always

04:21:29.360 --> 04:21:35.600
loved a bit of mirage. So we'll see how the best of the series will go. Overpass up next of course

04:21:35.600 --> 04:21:42.240
that is the Aurora map pick. Not D2 this time, that will be a decider if we need it but we do

04:21:42.240 --> 04:21:48.600
think that Aurora will be the stronger of the two and should find a way into that lower-bracket final to fight for the FAMASI arena.

04:21:59.520 --> 04:22:01.520
Payset matches set your starting point.

04:22:01.680 --> 04:22:08.520
Payset rating measures your impact as you climb. The soft ELO reset narrows the gap between the highest ELO players and the rest of level 10.

04:22:08.520 --> 04:22:11.560
Your starting point will be based on your recent ELO inactivity.

04:22:11.560 --> 04:22:17.080
We're introducing Facet Rating, so you can see exactly how much you stack up against others at your level.

04:22:17.080 --> 04:22:21.880
Facet Rating measures how much your actions have increased your team's chances of winning the match.

04:22:21.880 --> 04:22:23.880
Take into account the full situation.

04:22:24.840 --> 04:22:27.160
Season 8 launches April 22nd.

04:22:27.160 --> 04:22:29.160
Good luck and have fun!

04:22:38.520 --> 04:23:08.360
I think they do have another buy, even if they lose this one.

04:23:08.360 --> 04:23:12.920
But with five rounds already, I think maybe he's saying, OK, well, hold up, don't up plays.

04:23:12.920 --> 04:23:14.160
Let's connect with the rest of the team.

04:23:14.160 --> 04:23:15.480
I understand you had all the space.

04:23:15.480 --> 04:23:21.840
I know that you won't, but let's just make sure that we're finishing these rounds together.

04:23:21.840 --> 04:23:38.080
So MP9 for Frontalas having a tough go with things at the moment, one and seven.

04:23:38.080 --> 04:23:41.160
They're not playing to stop mid, I think.

04:23:41.160 --> 04:23:44.000
Well, this time, Meezie's blocked by the flashbang,

04:23:44.000 --> 04:23:46.240
Golasha self-flash, bounces it off the wall

04:23:46.240 --> 04:23:47.880
and finds Mikaze cleanly.

04:23:47.880 --> 04:23:49.160
I was about to say, it felt like they're just

04:23:49.160 --> 04:23:50.840
conceiving this territory.

04:23:50.840 --> 04:23:52.440
Bits walking out contact main,

04:23:52.440 --> 04:23:54.440
but Meezie borrowed behind the toolbox.

04:23:54.440 --> 04:23:55.800
This is normally the cave player.

04:23:55.800 --> 04:23:57.960
Yeah, it's gonna be a jump scare for a bit.

04:23:57.960 --> 04:24:00.080
Hello, and goodbye.

04:24:00.080 --> 04:24:01.280
Dips away.

04:24:01.280 --> 04:24:02.120
Oh, good pip.

04:24:04.560 --> 04:24:07.040
I'm just gonna try again, and Meezie will spot him.

04:24:07.040 --> 04:24:12.240
staying dynamic on that big box realizes that Molotov's coming in and so dips away to cover.

04:24:12.960 --> 04:24:17.040
Okay, well, this is another must convert round for hot to considering the state of affairs.

04:24:19.280 --> 04:24:21.120
Now be grouped up towards elbow.

04:24:29.920 --> 04:24:34.400
And this is the right play for Norbert. Just play for info. Don't hard commit to any angles with the

04:24:34.400 --> 04:24:38.640
a big advantage that you've been able to garner.

04:24:38.640 --> 04:24:41.600
He's fine just holding red room to be honest.

04:24:41.600 --> 04:24:44.800
He can trust Mizzou and Kailash, right?

04:24:44.800 --> 04:24:45.880
He's on the angle.

04:24:50.000 --> 04:24:50.880
This is the fight.

04:24:50.880 --> 04:24:52.920
Peaks in, nails it, head shot.

04:24:52.920 --> 04:24:53.560
Shooting.

04:24:53.560 --> 04:24:56.360
Moralized, fighting that.

04:24:56.360 --> 04:24:59.160
Really nice shooting from Mizzou there.

04:24:59.160 --> 04:25:00.440
Wow, you're a dead man.

04:25:00.440 --> 04:25:02.240
Ha ha ha ha ha.

04:25:02.240 --> 04:25:03.080
Or is it out of bounds?

04:25:33.080 --> 04:25:37.960
crew enough cash for another purchase. So having to get through three straight rifle rounds are

04:25:37.960 --> 04:25:41.000
hard to before they can bottom out the bank balance of blades boys.

04:25:48.360 --> 04:25:50.360
It's fair to see McCarthy with empty hands in middle.

04:25:51.720 --> 04:25:53.560
I wonder if it's going to deter them trying again.

04:25:53.560 --> 04:25:54.040
Oh no, he flashed it.

04:25:54.040 --> 04:25:54.920
They'll try again.

04:25:56.520 --> 04:25:58.760
Pulls us into a 3v3. Nice from MeeZoo.

04:25:59.880 --> 04:26:02.440
He dips back. He catches Alexi B's attempt from heaven.

04:26:03.080 --> 04:26:05.080
on Lane.

04:26:05.080 --> 04:26:09.080
Macaulay Donut. So who's going to make the move?

04:26:09.080 --> 04:26:12.080
I think at least Park and wait for all the smokes to fade.

04:26:12.080 --> 04:26:15.080
You're going to expect the CTs to start searching for information,

04:26:15.080 --> 04:26:17.080
whether that's grouped up or individually.

04:26:17.080 --> 04:26:18.080
You hope something comes your way.

04:26:18.080 --> 04:26:20.080
You're still going to minute 15 left on the clock at this point.

04:26:20.080 --> 04:26:22.080
There it is. Norbert Mees would pair up.

04:26:22.080 --> 04:26:24.080
So they just stay in cable. Do they want to search forward?

04:26:24.080 --> 04:26:27.080
Because they don't really have a lot of answers right now.

04:26:27.080 --> 04:26:29.080
If they search, that's exactly what bit's waiting for.

04:26:29.080 --> 04:26:33.340
and he catches them with their backs turned the timing of him arriving on the

04:26:33.340 --> 04:26:39.600
angle. Frustrating death for Mizu and now Mikaze down to Frantales. That's a huge

04:26:39.600 --> 04:26:45.840
frag is second only in the entirety of ancient but now Norbert he's got his

04:26:45.840 --> 04:26:50.500
work cut out for him. Trying to get to that corner. That's the shadow advantage

04:26:50.500 --> 04:26:56.200
but wonderfuls rifle sings nails the head shot should be set to collect

04:26:56.200 --> 04:26:58.200
Frontale's gonna have a look

04:26:58.680 --> 04:27:00.680
picks up from Kirt in a full belt

04:27:02.040 --> 04:27:04.760
2400 lost into the next such a redeeming 1v2

04:27:04.760 --> 04:27:08.720
I guess the smoke in the kit makes it a little bit more enticing

04:27:09.580 --> 04:27:15.640
The long game screams save. Yeah, but the ego probably wants to give it a look

04:27:19.360 --> 04:27:25.560
You remain silent so that clock continues to rot you really really running out of time just talking of time

04:27:26.200 --> 04:27:32.200
time in for an awareness. Alright, okay. No one's testing us from CT. I'll give it a look.

04:27:32.200 --> 04:27:40.200
We'll clear our corners and a big smile on the face a bit there. Happy with that one.

04:27:40.200 --> 04:27:44.600
Yeah, just the amount of flashes. This is a great little showing right here. Just the constant

04:27:44.600 --> 04:27:48.920
stream of orange over the top from spawn to help facilitate that mid fight. Needed a little bit

04:27:48.920 --> 04:27:54.840
extra. Good mccasin in it to make sure that space was theirs. Very emotive, aren't they,

04:27:54.840 --> 04:27:55.880
On the hot two side.

04:27:55.880 --> 04:27:57.380
I mean, MZ is having a great game.

04:27:57.380 --> 04:27:58.940
He feels like if he doesn't get two kills,

04:27:58.940 --> 04:28:00.680
he's not going to be around.

04:28:00.680 --> 04:28:01.920
Are they forced?

04:28:01.920 --> 04:28:03.320
All right.

04:28:03.320 --> 04:28:04.080
Fight mid.

04:28:04.080 --> 04:28:04.980
Oh, down.

04:28:04.980 --> 04:28:07.620
Go to Mccasey.

04:28:07.620 --> 04:28:08.620
A-play.

04:28:08.620 --> 04:28:09.320
Rotaris.

04:28:09.320 --> 04:28:09.820
Oh!

04:28:09.820 --> 04:28:10.820
Son of a gun.

04:28:10.820 --> 04:28:13.820
Oh, I bet he can't believe that guy stopped.

04:28:13.820 --> 04:28:14.820
Why is he stopping?

04:28:14.820 --> 04:28:15.820
Down the street.

04:28:15.820 --> 04:28:17.320
Damn, that takes time.

04:28:17.320 --> 04:28:18.820
True.

04:28:18.820 --> 04:28:21.820
Oh, no.

04:28:21.820 --> 04:28:23.820
Oh, finally get your roll.

04:28:23.820 --> 04:28:26.720
No smoke CT, they're crossing.

04:28:28.120 --> 04:28:29.720
You're expecting the wide parting?

04:28:29.720 --> 04:28:30.920
Yeah, of course you are.

04:28:32.420 --> 04:28:34.020
You just hit like a pebble and stop.

04:28:34.020 --> 04:28:35.020
Stop it on a dime.

04:28:36.720 --> 04:28:37.720
Call it seven.

04:28:38.020 --> 04:28:39.120
Seven and three.

04:28:39.120 --> 04:28:41.220
Narvi, their map choice and...

04:28:42.220 --> 04:28:43.220
I'm sure there's been a...

04:28:43.420 --> 04:28:44.620
Oh, oh.

04:28:44.620 --> 04:28:45.120
Nah.

04:28:45.120 --> 04:28:45.620
Nah.

04:28:46.020 --> 04:28:48.420
Frontal is a Norbader and the wrong side of the map.

04:28:48.420 --> 04:28:49.620
Yeah, good point, well made.

04:28:50.920 --> 04:28:52.120
Seven for Narvi.

04:28:52.120 --> 04:28:55.120
It's a really good one. It's

04:28:55.120 --> 04:28:57.120
a really good one. It's a

04:28:57.120 --> 04:28:59.120
really good one. Another kill

04:28:59.120 --> 04:29:01.120
for me. So up to 14 now. It

04:29:01.120 --> 04:29:03.120
does feel like now we have, you

04:29:03.120 --> 04:29:06.120
know, been very. Even in their

04:29:06.120 --> 04:29:07.120
site hits if they've spread them

04:29:07.120 --> 04:29:09.120
out. Okay, you like a bit right

04:29:09.120 --> 04:29:12.120
there to be the special the

04:29:12.120 --> 04:29:14.120
special indeed. Sometimes

04:29:14.120 --> 04:29:16.120
sometimes we go to.

04:29:16.120 --> 04:29:18.120
Norby like to keep your guns

04:29:18.120 --> 04:29:20.120
and with the loss of bit as

04:29:20.120 --> 04:29:27.560
Maccazzi and bit are in that touching distance. So if they need bit to get you till he will have to buy a little doesn't mean

04:29:27.560 --> 04:29:29.560
The bit will end up with a little but

04:29:37.760 --> 04:29:44.200
I think that the this is this is casual for now baby. It's meant to be tense. It feels casual

04:29:44.200 --> 04:29:53.720
it's like they want to walk through this yeah they do him is flash well positioned

04:29:53.720 --> 04:29:58.640
by the flashback catches Norbert test for me zoo combines with his team made norbert

04:29:58.640 --> 04:30:06.680
and they've shot down it's a three for two exchange oh clips him awkward for him and

04:30:06.680 --> 04:30:11.240
with the incendiary out throws himself out his utile to try and buy some space if he

04:30:11.240 --> 04:30:12.720
He just stays alive.

04:30:12.720 --> 04:30:13.520
He's doing that.

04:30:13.520 --> 04:30:15.480
It can give Mikazi's lurk an opportunity

04:30:15.480 --> 04:30:18.280
to try and commit.

04:30:18.280 --> 04:30:20.880
Oh, he's got three of them on the back line.

04:30:20.880 --> 04:30:23.400
Spots frontales is open.

04:30:23.400 --> 04:30:25.640
Jump scare for frontales.

04:30:25.640 --> 04:30:26.720
Doesn't want to go down.

04:30:26.720 --> 04:30:28.960
Doesn't need to give him that philots.

04:30:28.960 --> 04:30:29.920
Emma now cook.

04:30:32.760 --> 04:30:34.320
Introduce for Shorah, clean air shot.

04:30:34.320 --> 04:30:36.160
Yeah, he's so noisy.

04:30:36.160 --> 04:30:38.240
Emma knew exactly where he was.

04:30:38.240 --> 04:30:39.360
Now Mikazi throws a smoke.

04:30:39.360 --> 04:30:40.880
He can progress upon walking strength.

04:30:40.880 --> 04:30:45.880
What? Oh, Kalash gonna be headin' hands after that one.

04:30:45.880 --> 04:30:48.400
Just for Antares now in the clutch, Mikaze.

04:30:48.400 --> 04:30:50.800
Sick games behind the smokes, Mikaze.

04:30:50.800 --> 04:30:53.760
Yeah, he just, he uses them, walks straight through.

04:30:53.760 --> 04:30:54.600
Back and forth.

04:30:54.600 --> 04:30:55.800
Frantares has lost track of everything.

04:30:55.800 --> 04:30:58.680
Yeah, well, Mikaze's smoke created so many question marks.

04:30:58.680 --> 04:31:00.480
He's got a good idea that he's gone back this way.

04:31:00.480 --> 04:31:02.640
It's a fair play, but...

04:31:02.640 --> 04:31:04.440
Oh, my God, Mikaze.

04:31:04.440 --> 04:31:06.600
He's so at home on ancient.

04:31:06.600 --> 04:31:09.440
Every fight prepared for...

04:31:09.440 --> 04:31:14.440
Navi have really found themselves a diamond from their Academy.

04:31:14.440 --> 04:31:17.040
This is the Academy, excuse me.

04:31:17.040 --> 04:31:18.340
Navi Junior was Navi Junior.

04:31:18.340 --> 04:31:20.940
Yeah, you're right, it was the Academy.

04:31:20.940 --> 04:31:23.640
It's just I forgot the foot, then, you know, moved the foot.

04:31:23.640 --> 04:31:24.740
Yeah.

04:31:24.740 --> 04:31:29.940
Well, there's lots of different Academy names, aren't there?

04:31:29.940 --> 04:31:31.440
Aries.

04:31:31.440 --> 04:31:34.740
Oh, the Serene face for me, too.

04:31:34.740 --> 04:31:37.240
They shouldn't be winning a couple of these, should they?

04:31:37.240 --> 04:31:39.040
Okay, him, it's my opening.

04:31:39.040 --> 04:31:40.720
This is like official light.

04:31:40.720 --> 04:31:41.560
Yeah.

04:31:41.560 --> 04:31:43.160
Or, or Prack extra.

04:31:43.160 --> 04:31:44.000
One of the two.

04:31:45.280 --> 04:31:47.800
Amizu swings, Amizu dies.

04:31:47.800 --> 04:31:48.640
Bloody hell.

04:31:48.640 --> 04:31:51.520
This is a real disparity between these two right now.

04:31:51.520 --> 04:31:53.920
Narvi, consider the world number two by the rankings,

04:31:53.920 --> 04:31:55.240
not by themselves, but either way,

04:31:55.240 --> 04:31:57.440
they're making Hottu look like

04:31:57.440 --> 04:31:59.880
they're in a whole different category.

04:31:59.880 --> 04:32:00.920
Flash is too late.

04:32:00.920 --> 04:32:01.920
Alexi gets that.

04:32:01.920 --> 04:32:03.080
Norbert's now long side.

04:32:03.080 --> 04:32:03.920
They swing in.

04:32:03.920 --> 04:32:05.720
The trade should be there.

04:32:05.720 --> 04:32:06.760
And it's just Duke,

04:32:06.760 --> 04:32:10.200
walking out middle into Mikazi.

04:32:10.200 --> 04:32:14.120
He owns this side of the map and confirms the 9-3-1 half.

04:32:14.120 --> 04:32:16.320
Na'Vi making this quick.

04:32:16.320 --> 04:32:19.280
They've got a date for a playoff match later today.

04:32:19.280 --> 04:32:20.280
And they're looking hot.

04:33:06.760 --> 04:33:30.720
What do you reckon? We got Rookie of the Year right here. SoulFly, is he early contender

04:33:30.720 --> 04:33:33.400
for Rookie of the Year 2026? He's playing pretty good.

04:33:33.400 --> 04:33:34.400
Yeah, it's...

04:33:34.400 --> 04:33:35.400
I think, yeah.

04:33:35.400 --> 04:33:36.400
You guys have to say it.

04:33:36.400 --> 04:33:40.000
I think he started the first tournament, I think he was stressful, I think.

04:33:40.000 --> 04:33:45.240
It was the first tournament for him and he's the player that he didn't play a lot of LANs,

04:33:45.240 --> 04:33:49.920
like his first LAN since three years, so it's something difficult for him.

04:33:49.920 --> 04:33:57.080
But now, I think the most interesting thing is on the Stage 1, he has like 0-9 rating,

04:33:57.080 --> 04:34:02.360
but when he goes to Stage 2, when there is Maus, Falcon, like top 10 teams, he put 120,

04:34:02.360 --> 04:34:09.360
So I think it's a very good thing for him, playing good against a good opponent, but it's a very good sign for us.

04:34:09.360 --> 04:34:13.360
For me, it's something I like as a leader.

04:34:13.360 --> 04:34:21.360
You talked a bit about playstyle, that you need to suit to your players. What kind of a player is he, playstyle-wise?

04:34:21.360 --> 04:34:23.360
He was playing style roles on his last game, wasn't he?

04:34:23.360 --> 04:34:29.840
Yeah, he was on T side, he was sometimes taking map control, but when I was on terrace and

04:34:29.840 --> 04:34:35.560
also we could, I can't give him that role, you know, so in Turkey, you know, we, I like

04:34:35.560 --> 04:34:39.960
since seven years since Space Soldiers, I like of lurker, like player like drops, you

04:34:39.960 --> 04:34:43.680
know, on T side.

04:34:43.680 --> 04:34:49.400
And I just needed a lot like a B plan, you know, as a leader when I take map control

04:34:49.400 --> 04:34:54.960
and I have a guy on my other side to give me a plan, bro, we can do that now, some voice.

04:34:55.600 --> 04:34:59.560
I want him to do that, that's why I'm talking with him, like you have to talk much extra,

04:34:59.560 --> 04:35:05.040
so now his role on his side is more sometimes like lurking, but not always.

04:35:07.040 --> 04:35:10.960
But for now it's just been like two months, so I'm not pretty sure, just saying,

04:35:10.960 --> 04:35:16.440
but he's a player with really calm, with good mental, and that's very important for us.

04:35:16.720 --> 04:35:18.000
He's helping a lot.

04:35:18.000 --> 04:35:30.000
Also smart. He's just choosing the smart way to play like when he's in an entrance well like killing one, not going for a second, trying to like waste some utilities to come back to people and nobody told him to do it.

04:35:30.000 --> 04:35:33.000
If I'm killing one, I'm going for the second one.

04:35:33.000 --> 04:35:36.000
That one was one for the third one.

04:35:36.000 --> 04:35:38.000
The repakes.

04:35:48.000 --> 04:35:53.280
So, there's a rock from all aspects of Aurora and some big words there about Sol

04:35:53.280 --> 04:35:57.080
Fly, of course, and how he's managed to come up from that Tier 3, Tier 2 scene.

04:35:57.080 --> 04:35:59.040
We watched him a lot on Fire Flux match.

04:35:59.040 --> 04:36:03.480
It was a really cool team to see him on, because Banjo's on that team as well, wasn't that

04:36:03.480 --> 04:36:08.240
team as well, and now everyone's focused, obviously, and I think those two were the

04:36:08.240 --> 04:36:13.120
best players on that squad and deservedly now getting some flowers and some big events.

04:36:13.120 --> 04:36:18.640
Yeah, I mean obviously a bit of a transition here for Salflyce and stepping up to the Aurora

04:36:18.640 --> 04:36:22.220
played as we hear from that interview where Matt just says, I can't give him the roles

04:36:22.220 --> 04:36:25.900
that are currently taken up by Xantar as in Wikipedia, so there's a bit of like an evolution

04:36:25.900 --> 04:36:29.860
and development required here for Salflyce in this Aurora team trying to take up a bit

04:36:29.860 --> 04:36:33.940
more of an Alerka role and then you heard Woxic even chiming and he's a pretty smart

04:36:33.940 --> 04:36:37.900
player. He likes to really think about how he goes about his processes, which I think

04:36:37.900 --> 04:36:42.940
exactly what you want from a lurker, right, who just applies that extra layer to his game.

04:36:42.940 --> 04:36:45.640
He's done a pretty good job so far. A lot of respect from his team.

04:36:45.640 --> 04:36:49.540
Yes, indeed. And now going into overpass, it might be a bit of a punish pick coming in

04:36:49.540 --> 04:36:53.460
from Aurora. It's not been a best map for them lately. They used to have it as a really

04:36:53.460 --> 04:36:58.380
good secondary or tertiary map in their pool if they didn't get a chance to play a Nubis.

04:36:58.380 --> 04:37:02.820
But it's been turning off a little bit. Thing is, Bait have only played it four times this

04:37:02.820 --> 04:37:04.540
year and not to great effect.

04:37:04.540 --> 04:37:10.500
Yeah, I mean, they did at least get a winner of a passion away on this map yesterday.

04:37:10.500 --> 04:37:13.780
So they've got a recent rep and they lost an OT to foot.

04:37:13.780 --> 04:37:19.900
So I think that they'll at least kind of back themselves to a degree here.

04:37:19.900 --> 04:37:24.460
Starting off on the CT side, our bait, they've got a three man set up on the B bomb side

04:37:24.460 --> 04:37:27.660
and they're going to have a hell of a job to do.

04:37:27.660 --> 04:37:34.660
to the right. It's not all not

04:37:34.660 --> 04:37:36.660
ready for Santa. It's already

04:37:36.660 --> 04:37:38.660
be in and Santares will not let

04:37:38.660 --> 04:37:40.660
up. Incredible map one from him.

04:37:40.660 --> 04:37:42.660
He gets two kills on his entry

04:37:42.660 --> 04:37:44.660
into the B bomb site in the

04:37:44.660 --> 04:37:46.660
central. Try his best to hold on.

04:37:46.660 --> 04:37:47.660
But MPL will be dated. He's

04:37:47.660 --> 04:37:48.660
going to keep it actually and

04:37:48.660 --> 04:37:50.660
try and take these flags now be

04:37:50.660 --> 04:37:52.660
thought he killed the CT player

04:37:52.660 --> 04:37:53.660
and that could maybe descend this

04:37:53.660 --> 04:37:55.660
round into chaos, but magic has

04:37:55.660 --> 04:38:01.140
more comfortable for Aurora, Woxic and Soulfly are now stuck next to each other in that water

04:38:01.140 --> 04:38:05.980
position tripping over each other somewhat, but Soulfly will run down one and react to

04:38:05.980 --> 04:38:11.660
NPL, Woxic survives a one HP and Aurora get away with it.

04:38:11.660 --> 04:38:15.720
I mean actually super well navigated there by Madger and Soulfly because they realize

04:38:15.720 --> 04:38:19.260
if they swing that right side that's probably exactly what Sizi was holding and they were

04:38:19.260 --> 04:38:24.300
completely correct so instead they just keep walking back using those sandbags as cover

04:38:24.300 --> 04:38:26.300
And then a big double swing comes through from them.

04:38:26.300 --> 04:38:32.300
Soulfly flexing his fragging power here in the pistol run with three key kills, even the transition here.

04:38:32.300 --> 04:38:38.300
Basically mid-tap there, he's able to finish off the job and get Aurora off to a good start with the pistol.

04:38:41.300 --> 04:38:46.300
Now just to avoid the force, MP9s, 5-7s, these close ranges and connector.

04:38:46.300 --> 04:38:49.300
That'd be a scary place to go.

04:39:19.300 --> 04:39:24.020
Those kills from Ocadia with the Glock are actually extremely important because if he goes down there like his teammate

04:39:24.280 --> 04:39:26.340
After getting the initial kill with the Mach 10

04:39:26.340 --> 04:39:29.460
I mean sure he gets those two but it would have been a 3v3

04:39:29.460 --> 04:39:36.180
It would have been a pretty good position for bait with the force by but Ocadia just goes nuclear two quick kills coming through from the side on there

04:39:36.860 --> 04:39:40.500
Just basically gets the job done single-handedly. It was so close to getting in the ace

04:39:40.500 --> 04:39:45.220
That would have been a sick ace from him as well with those three kills and quick succession either way

04:39:45.580 --> 04:39:47.580
They'll take the round on the board

04:39:47.580 --> 04:39:51.580
So now all I have to deal with is these measly pistols.

04:39:54.080 --> 04:39:59.580
Yeah, and I can talk over this round a little bit, and maybe talk a bit about what I was saying earlier about the sort of mismatch on the map in a way.

04:39:59.580 --> 04:40:06.580
I mean, sure, Aurora had some really poor losses on it recently when they went to play Dracula, and I don't think they really wanted to be at Dracula.

04:40:06.580 --> 04:40:12.580
I think the main reason they went there was to try and doubly secure their tier 3, their stage 3 invite for Cologne.

04:40:12.580 --> 04:40:17.040
and the end obviously that one a little bit of ride, but you know losing to alliance and a matey

04:40:17.540 --> 04:40:18.980
frustrating for them

04:40:18.980 --> 04:40:23.040
There's lots of legacy as well on the map a couple of times in pro league

04:40:23.980 --> 04:40:27.700
So I think it's not a favorite that used to be as I said earlier

04:40:27.700 --> 04:40:33.580
I always felt like it was really good second of your tertiary map for Aurora even when they're called eternal fire a few years ago

04:40:33.580 --> 04:40:35.580
It's a sense of thought process

04:40:36.060 --> 04:40:38.080
Okay, we'll get caught this time and hang on a moment

04:40:38.080 --> 04:40:43.080
There are lots of players on a and I think they've realized that thankfully it's more than enough time to go down common

04:40:43.080 --> 04:40:45.080
Plot number one B. So I continue

04:40:46.000 --> 04:40:47.680
Waffling, I think a little bit

04:40:47.680 --> 04:40:51.480
When it comes to bait right as I said for this year lots of foot no the time

04:40:52.080 --> 04:40:53.640
For corrects. That was the playoff game. I believe

04:40:54.640 --> 04:40:57.760
Furia at pro league and then Aurora at Cluj

04:40:57.760 --> 04:41:03.780
So Aurora have previous knowledge of how to get past bait even if that was like a couple of months ago

04:41:03.780 --> 04:41:08.420
they won't have forgotten that and I think that maybe is another reason why they went to go into

04:41:09.380 --> 04:41:15.500
Why are we still going a by the way? I'm trying to talk about things guys. Why are we still going a so rude of them?

04:41:16.380 --> 04:41:21.060
But they went around in the end and yeah, I think there are reasons why Aurora gone to overpass is my point

04:41:22.660 --> 04:41:24.420
Yeah, you're absolutely right

04:41:24.420 --> 04:41:30.540
I mean just to highlight the lack of reps there for Bay probably one of the key factors that Aurora read into and I think it would have been like

04:41:30.540 --> 04:41:34.420
like, super obvious, at least on paper, that they probably would have picked, like it was

04:41:34.420 --> 04:41:37.980
a very high probability Aurora would have picked Dust coming into this. I think they

04:41:37.980 --> 04:41:41.700
probably, once they figured out that Aurora was the team they were playing against, probably

04:41:41.700 --> 04:41:46.380
would have done most of their prep for Dust and to try and study the tendencies and the

04:41:46.380 --> 04:41:50.180
way that they like to play on the map and have done, put most of their time into preparing

04:41:50.180 --> 04:41:53.780
for Dust too. So maybe even just trying to shake things up a little bit and maybe catch

04:41:53.780 --> 04:41:55.460
Bait off guard in that regard.

04:41:55.460 --> 04:42:00.340
Yeah, that is the thought process that I think is pretty evident. And if we do get the interview

04:42:00.340 --> 04:42:06.180
after which we should. We want to be a role of players so we can maybe ask them about that.

04:42:09.060 --> 04:42:13.060
Big damage on Makadia with the spam from Kinzizor.

04:42:15.460 --> 04:42:21.460
Here's a crazy stat. T side and CT side win percentages for Aurora on this map. T side,

04:42:21.460 --> 04:42:28.420
52 percent, CT side 48 percent. Teams normally love playing the CT side. It's a pretty heavy CT

04:42:28.420 --> 04:42:31.200
side of map in fact a lot of people would make the case for it being the

04:42:31.200 --> 04:42:35.100
heavy the heaviest CT side of map in the pool I mean alongside nuke would be the

04:42:35.100 --> 04:42:40.100
two in the conversation so it's a pretty big drop before Aurora going on to the

04:42:40.100 --> 04:42:42.980
defensive. Generally a weird one because that's what kept them alive in a lot of

04:42:42.980 --> 04:42:46.060
the previous games they played back in the eternal fire days and overpass it was

04:42:46.060 --> 04:42:49.780
their CT side dragging improve these long get long hearts but yeah the

04:42:49.780 --> 04:42:53.980
team side improving and Zor will get his one on self line MPL on long is now

04:42:53.980 --> 04:42:58.100
known about to walk sick or just gets around the corner and he'll drop the

04:42:58.100 --> 04:43:00.740
bomb over to a teammate to get it planted as he looks to try and take

04:43:00.740 --> 04:43:05.100
deeper control in bank to get a kill back in this 3v4.

04:43:05.100 --> 04:43:09.420
Up's on the line though, we'll miss a shot and that means that walks it will go down in the end

04:43:09.420 --> 04:43:12.420
because he's got a sent feel in support and in the end it looks like a sent feel is

04:43:12.420 --> 04:43:15.820
going to be the main man to help out with that support. Bait will get a

04:43:15.820 --> 04:43:19.220
breakthrough, get their first round on overpass.

04:43:19.220 --> 04:43:24.380
That was perfect, therefore they, because of MPL's presence in Long, it makes Aurora

04:43:24.380 --> 04:43:28.260
super uncomfortable to try and plant default, they worry about pressure up-lowers that would

04:43:28.260 --> 04:43:32.100
then flank over through bathrooms, so they think our best course of action is to plant

04:43:32.100 --> 04:43:36.420
reverse default and then try and fight in towards the backlines, take control of Dumpster

04:43:36.420 --> 04:43:40.060
and Bank, which would give them really good post-plant positions to play with, however,

04:43:40.060 --> 04:43:43.420
that's exactly where three of the four players are coming through from bait, so they end

04:43:43.420 --> 04:43:46.220
up just getting these jewels off and up to them and they don't even really have to try

04:43:46.220 --> 04:43:53.220
figure out where he takes it just to win these fights.

04:43:53.220 --> 04:43:56.300
Yeah, Santhiel, when he was first coming through and was first added to Bate, which I'm pretty

04:43:56.300 --> 04:44:02.380
sure was his only team in his career so far, he was really rough as a youngster a year

04:44:02.380 --> 04:44:07.860
or two ago. One of the roughest debuts I've ever watched when I casted his first game

04:44:07.860 --> 04:44:14.540
on Bate. He's grown as an individual so well, and that is a gorgeous shot from Woxic. Door

04:44:14.540 --> 04:44:18.540
broken open, Kensi-Zor goes for the jump peek and bye bye.

04:44:18.540 --> 04:44:23.740
Yeah he missed some of the easier shots on Mirage but that's a great one coming through

04:44:23.740 --> 04:44:26.780
from him pre-empting the jump peek.

04:44:26.780 --> 04:44:29.580
Like you say, Kensi-Zor going to be sidelined early on here.

04:44:29.580 --> 04:44:34.100
Bait struggled a lot on the CT side of this map yesterday against Cash New A. Of course

04:44:34.100 --> 04:44:37.020
it still went on to win the map pretty comprehensively.

04:44:37.020 --> 04:44:42.300
They were down 8-4 on the half and they won the map 13-9 so it was a really good T side.

04:44:42.300 --> 04:44:47.620
I wonder if those frailties will come into the equation here. Once again, it's only Suzy between Aurora and that A bomb site.

04:44:47.620 --> 04:44:53.720
And he's in an advanced position without any option of falling back, so he's going to have to stand and bang them out of the server.

04:44:53.720 --> 04:44:58.820
He has all the footsteps, and he actually does really well to get that first pick and then reposition with a little bit of cover to try to avoid the trade.

04:44:58.820 --> 04:45:01.340
That takes the attention away from his teammate coming through from Lowers.

04:45:01.340 --> 04:45:08.300
Good acceleration there from Wikipedia instead of hanging around to take the jewel. Instead prioritizes the plant, but now there's a chance here for bait in this 2v2.

04:45:08.300 --> 04:45:11.740
for some alexa. I want to be tabbed up by accidents, kind of what it looked like, because his

04:45:12.300 --> 04:45:17.660
face changed at that weird timing there. He doesn't go down, but now look at the damage!

04:45:17.660 --> 04:45:23.740
8 HP on both and now 0 HP on alex. Ah, if a sentiel was full health, all this utility could

04:45:23.740 --> 04:45:30.060
give this retake a go, but now there's no point. Acadia and Zantares, the two main men on the

04:45:30.060 --> 04:45:35.260
rifles, on Aurora, will figure things out and break straight back through 4 to 1.

04:45:35.260 --> 04:45:41.000
a fantastic bounce back immediately after losing the first gun round they'll be able

04:45:41.000 --> 04:45:46.040
to win the gun round afterwards and sure they're financed with an amazing tact and they keep

04:45:46.040 --> 04:45:52.680
bait in a tenuous position early on here on Overpass. This is how it had opened up. We

04:45:52.680 --> 04:45:57.960
need that extra zoom, Waxx certainly didn't. There was still a good little resurgence here

04:45:57.960 --> 04:46:03.840
from bait with this combination between Alex and Sizi but Aurora don't panic in and amongst

04:46:03.840 --> 04:46:21.360
the chaos and get the job done regardless. So he still has enough of the orb, here we

04:46:21.360 --> 04:46:30.600
go. It's going to be important for Bate to get something for a while. I mean it's kind

04:46:30.600 --> 04:46:35.240
funny right because it feels like a bit of opposite day when we cast over pass because we usually

04:46:35.240 --> 04:46:42.920
would say if they let Aurora get five six on T side maybe the game's already over but we've seen

04:46:42.920 --> 04:46:49.320
multiple really good T sides not just from other teams in this tournament but from bait as well

04:46:49.880 --> 04:46:57.880
earlier on so look Aurora apparently struggled more on CT and pass maybe you have to consider that

04:46:57.880 --> 04:47:02.440
pretty deeply when it comes to the second half here and reconsider what we think is the minimum rounds

04:47:02.440 --> 04:47:03.480
for Aurora on T.

04:47:05.880 --> 04:47:09.480
Hey you're right compared to what it would normally be would probably be like five you'd say cool

04:47:09.480 --> 04:47:12.120
you feel like you've done a good job on the T side but they're probably going to be more

04:47:12.120 --> 04:47:15.880
looking in towards actually winning the half here to give themselves a bit of breathing room.

04:47:16.520 --> 04:47:21.400
Woxic's already gotten an opening kill he catches Alex off guard and then Ascentheal decides to go

04:47:21.400 --> 04:47:26.760
searching he suffers the same fate Woxic doubling down with key kills to open up the speed bomb site

04:47:26.760 --> 04:47:30.980
They haven't pulled the trigger on actually taking control of that B bomb site though

04:47:32.600 --> 04:47:38.060
Maybe still a chance you have a fade. I mean doesn't even look like they're interested in trying to make something happen

04:47:38.060 --> 04:47:40.100
It's wakadia controlling the opposite side of the map now

04:47:40.100 --> 04:47:46.220
You should be a dead man to NPL bomb still has to be recovered Aurora are so hesitant to commit into that B site

04:47:46.220 --> 04:47:51.940
Which has had nobody home for like 30 seconds now having incredibly diligent, right going through all that protocols

04:47:51.940 --> 04:47:54.780
Not just diving in thinking it's a formality and that's a good thing

04:47:54.780 --> 04:48:01.820
Just before Aurora at a big event, they want to try and keep that a pattern and don't get

04:48:01.820 --> 04:48:06.740
into any lazy mindsets in those situations.

04:48:06.740 --> 04:48:09.740
Sizi, can he keep the AWP?

04:48:09.740 --> 04:48:13.740
Dantares, ah, misses the shots.

04:48:13.740 --> 04:48:15.540
Other ones are the Dantares, Tali.

04:48:15.540 --> 04:48:19.460
And feeding Woxic in the early round really ended it straight away, didn't it?

04:48:19.460 --> 04:48:23.460
The Cardio will trade immediately, and that is five very quickly.

04:48:25.460 --> 04:48:28.460
Yeah, and it also breaks the finances of Baych on the CT side,

04:48:28.460 --> 04:48:32.460
so it should be 6-1 before they're able to put up any sort of semblance of a defense.

04:48:32.460 --> 04:48:35.460
Aurora have pitched up and they look the part.

04:48:35.460 --> 04:48:40.460
We already know who the team would be that the winner of this game would face in the next round

04:48:40.460 --> 04:48:45.460
off the lower bracket, now if you made light work of Hottu on the process off.

04:48:45.460 --> 04:48:47.460
As I see that game's not done, I thought it was.

04:48:47.460 --> 04:48:53.660
map 1 and then 10-8 here on map 2, so maybe hot to put up a bit of a fight and keep Navi

04:48:53.660 --> 04:48:57.620
around for a bit longer, but it's winner of that place, winner of this or a spot in the

04:48:57.620 --> 04:48:59.140
arena in the next few days.

04:48:59.140 --> 04:49:05.860
Yeah, Navi vs Aurora has been a great match up to watch before. Make sure you keep watching

04:49:05.860 --> 04:49:10.420
the B stream as we finish off the broadcast tonight. We'll be handing over to our esteemed

04:49:10.420 --> 04:49:15.700
colleagues, but there'll be some bangers. Oh, that's a brilliant combination in-con.

04:49:15.700 --> 04:49:17.100
That is certainly a banger.

04:49:17.100 --> 04:49:20.700
Kenzuzawa's 5-7 gets 2 as they break the door open.

04:49:21.700 --> 04:49:26.600
And all of a sudden, Kenzuzawa's now pushed up in-con with that AK.

04:49:26.600 --> 04:49:31.900
It's not going to affect too much more, but ready an advantage.

04:49:32.500 --> 04:49:35.300
And Aurora need to find a gap to work with.

04:49:35.300 --> 04:49:39.000
Right now, kind of everything is somewhat covered by bait.

04:49:41.500 --> 04:49:44.300
It's going to be really difficult for Aurora to try and figure out.

04:49:44.300 --> 04:49:47.400
That will certainly help. True to the name, Zantare's peak.

04:49:47.400 --> 04:49:50.300
Impossible to go up against their four MPL.

04:49:50.300 --> 04:49:54.400
And if Alex goes down here and long, that's the door wide open to get into the A bomb site.

04:49:54.400 --> 04:49:57.400
And Woxic will be able to adjust. Alex had actually spotted the legs.

04:49:57.400 --> 04:49:59.200
He had a good idea of what was coming his way.

04:49:59.200 --> 04:50:00.700
Wasn't able to do anything about it.

04:50:00.700 --> 04:50:05.300
And now Zantare is playing Janitor with him just sweeping in these backlines.

04:50:05.300 --> 04:50:07.200
Looking to try and control these flanks.

04:50:07.200 --> 04:50:07.900
But hello.

04:50:07.900 --> 04:50:09.700
Actually a really good time to push up for Kenty.

04:50:09.700 --> 04:50:10.300
So what's that?

04:50:10.300 --> 04:50:15.300
I'm not going to be able to

04:50:15.300 --> 04:50:17.300
get to the end of the week. I

04:50:17.300 --> 04:50:19.300
should have had that killed

04:50:19.300 --> 04:50:20.300
dead to write every day of the

04:50:20.300 --> 04:50:21.300
week and I reckon the reaction

04:50:21.300 --> 04:50:22.300
from Travis the same one from

04:50:22.300 --> 04:50:26.300
the soul. What a shame. That

04:50:26.300 --> 04:50:28.300
was a great opportunity to make

04:50:28.300 --> 04:50:30.300
something exciting happen, but

04:50:30.300 --> 04:50:31.300
look, it happens to the best of

04:50:31.300 --> 04:50:33.300
us. It really does.

04:50:33.300 --> 04:50:34.300
Then tires where is the man

04:50:34.300 --> 04:50:36.300
though to, of course, recover

04:50:36.300 --> 04:50:38.300
the round brilliant clears in

04:50:38.300 --> 04:50:43.580
off he got the AK from his incredible work to break through connector like he did got the reward

04:50:43.580 --> 04:50:51.900
of the AK couldn't put it to use. Yeah I mean he could have basically just put the round away

04:50:51.900 --> 04:50:55.900
if he'd gotten that first kill cleanly enough I would have thrown him into disarray for Aurora.

04:50:56.540 --> 04:50:59.980
Gunner aren't here for bait to try and put a stop to the rock that currently sets in.

04:51:00.940 --> 04:51:05.260
Great flash play coming through taking initiative here looking to try and kickstart their campaign

04:51:05.260 --> 04:51:09.820
by playing active and it has net again an early kill and they're going to continue to advance

04:51:09.820 --> 04:51:11.260
off the back of that as well.

04:51:11.260 --> 04:51:14.620
I don't know if that's tough to just play.

04:51:14.620 --> 04:51:19.740
I understand they had a play in mind at the beginning of this round to dead set we're

04:51:19.740 --> 04:51:20.740
pushing fountain.

04:51:20.740 --> 04:51:23.300
We're getting control of it early, we're looking for an opening kill.

04:51:23.300 --> 04:51:27.100
There was no real need to go further than that.

04:51:27.100 --> 04:51:31.260
They got their rewards and they could have fallen back with it and now opening kills

04:51:31.260 --> 04:51:37.660
overpass are precious. Very hard for a T side to recover from 4v5s more often than not against

04:51:37.660 --> 04:51:44.220
a full gun round. So I'll chuck that one away as well I'm afraid. Now a raw rate will take long

04:51:44.220 --> 04:51:48.060
control. They might be saying it so it could easily go down through bathroom to connect to

04:51:48.060 --> 04:51:53.820
it still. It's only a cover from Sizi at the moment but they wouldn't want to do that right now

04:51:53.820 --> 04:52:01.180
because there are three CTs on B. So once again it could be Sizi, the main man in position to

04:52:01.180 --> 04:52:03.380
to prevent Aurora reaching 7.

04:52:05.520 --> 04:52:07.500
Oh, I saw some question marks here about the round.

04:52:07.500 --> 04:52:09.940
Wikati is in and amongst the thick of things right now.

04:52:09.940 --> 04:52:11.420
There's two players for the CT side,

04:52:11.420 --> 04:52:12.860
and it's going to be Alex, who's trying

04:52:12.860 --> 04:52:14.140
to make a play through the smoke.

04:52:14.140 --> 04:52:14.640
No.

04:52:14.640 --> 04:52:18.380
Gearoos, it's, oh, I haven't just stopped in my tracks.

04:52:18.380 --> 04:52:21.140
The Alex clock that he realizes in time.

04:52:21.140 --> 04:52:23.180
It was a fake with the attention trying to be drawn.

04:52:23.180 --> 04:52:24.340
A, the round is still going to end.

04:52:24.340 --> 04:52:27.220
B, Woxic will see the feet and find the frag on Alex.

04:52:27.220 --> 04:52:29.580
But there's still resistance with only 10 seconds left.

04:52:29.580 --> 04:52:32.280
There should be no way for Aurora to win this one.

04:52:32.280 --> 04:52:33.680
A Senthil has to deny the plant.

04:52:33.680 --> 04:52:34.280
It's going to be Woxic.

04:52:34.280 --> 04:52:35.480
A Senthil doesn't see him.

04:52:35.480 --> 04:52:36.580
He does not spot him.

04:52:36.580 --> 04:52:38.780
Bonplon completes a 2v2 ensues,

04:52:38.780 --> 04:52:40.880
and Woxic will even get the kill as well.

04:52:40.880 --> 04:52:41.880
Oh, a nightmare.

04:52:41.880 --> 04:52:42.880
NPL 1v2.

04:52:42.880 --> 04:52:43.880
Can he recover things?

04:52:43.880 --> 04:52:45.280
Woxic eventually goes down,

04:52:45.280 --> 04:52:47.380
living a charmed life in this one.

04:52:47.380 --> 04:52:48.480
Magi holding on from Pillar.

04:52:48.480 --> 04:52:49.780
Look how advanced his position is.

04:52:49.780 --> 04:52:52.080
Surely it's unexpected, but no.

04:52:52.080 --> 04:52:55.280
NPL will save the blushes of a Senthil.

04:52:55.280 --> 04:52:57.880
How did he not see the leg on the pillar?

04:52:57.880 --> 04:52:58.780
Goodness.

04:52:58.780 --> 04:53:04.120
I'm shocked by that, imagine he was annoyed that he couldn't take advantage of it, and why not? Don't blame him.

04:53:05.980 --> 04:53:09.820
Yeah, cause he had made a really smart decision by actually getting himself in behind the pelive.

04:53:09.820 --> 04:53:16.920
I thought that was the round-winning play to finish off the job that MPL is actually able to shift his crosshair and adjust in time to get that kill.

04:53:17.680 --> 04:53:23.280
My god, same kill. You can't even blame that on 4x3, I'm afraid. I mean, there's just so many moments in this round where it's like, okay,

04:53:23.280 --> 04:53:29.240
There should be no way Bait loses from here and they got extremely close, painstakingly

04:53:29.240 --> 04:53:34.040
close to that one getting away from them, but guess who, it's NPL that saves the day again

04:53:34.040 --> 04:53:35.040
for Bait.

04:53:35.040 --> 04:53:37.760
I don't, I'm pretty sure that it was quite evident as well.

04:53:37.760 --> 04:53:41.680
I mean, look, we always know we have the X-ray, the players don't.

04:53:41.680 --> 04:53:48.760
It will look a lot more obvious to us from the outside, but I'm pretty sure that was

04:53:48.760 --> 04:53:50.960
very visible for him on that push forward.

04:53:50.960 --> 04:53:55.400
It was like half a second, but still, most players would see that.

04:53:55.400 --> 04:53:58.280
I've seen it before from that position.

04:53:58.280 --> 04:54:02.160
Anyway, it's a really important second round, and MPL does really well.

04:54:02.160 --> 04:54:06.000
That's the second 1v2 of the series, by the way.

04:54:06.000 --> 04:54:08.680
Yeah, true. It's got to be the start of something here for Beta.

04:54:08.680 --> 04:54:11.560
Can't afford to just be one round in isolation,

04:54:11.560 --> 04:54:15.000
because they get completely financially reset if they lose round nine.

04:54:15.000 --> 04:54:19.320
And it's almost like then it's the beginning of the end for Beta, you would imagine.

04:54:19.320 --> 04:54:22.640
Aurora have completely outclassed them throughout this series so far.

04:54:22.640 --> 04:54:25.740
13-1-8 win for them on Mirage.

04:54:25.740 --> 04:54:26.240
7 I think.

04:54:26.240 --> 04:54:29.040
They're not much of a worry, they're 13-7 in fact yet.

04:54:30.140 --> 04:54:33.880
And 6 out of 8 going their way here on Overpass in complete control.

04:54:33.880 --> 04:54:35.380
Job, not done yet though.

04:54:40.940 --> 04:54:43.920
Corset have the most perfect buy ever.

04:54:43.920 --> 04:54:46.580
They'll have one Famas and utility is okay.

04:54:46.580 --> 04:54:52.580
I think they have decent nades on MPL and essential, but...

04:54:54.580 --> 04:54:56.580
Difference in the setup this time.

04:54:56.580 --> 04:54:58.580
Oh, MPL wanders forward on a timing.

04:54:58.580 --> 04:55:00.580
Woxic, is he gonna keep trained on it?

04:55:00.580 --> 04:55:02.580
That is the question. He will.

04:55:02.580 --> 04:55:07.580
Woxic has been fed a lot of frags in this map so far, from just maybe Aurora being a little...

04:55:07.580 --> 04:55:11.580
Sorry, bait being a little bit lazy on occasion.

04:55:16.580 --> 04:55:22.580
Suzy gonna go searching, finds a frag for Freya's mag, looks to set some utility up on Wakati, wood spot too there.

04:55:22.580 --> 04:55:28.080
Maybe that's the ghost signal here, but Suzy's doing a brilliant job cooking things up here, in towards bathrooms.

04:55:28.080 --> 04:55:31.080
We're finally getting a Suzy moment with the sniper rifle.

04:55:31.080 --> 04:55:37.080
Wakati has no idea, should be an impossible 2v4 for him to recover unless Wakati can get the kill.

04:55:37.080 --> 04:55:40.080
Suzy, that is a brave way to go about it with the USP.

04:55:40.080 --> 04:55:42.080
That's a little bit unforced from him.

04:55:42.080 --> 04:55:47.840
It's actually a path down low as onto the B bombsite here for Aurora, but there's no way for them to know that of course

04:55:47.840 --> 04:55:53.120
So the issue is they know kensas all still around party and I think they might actually just commit to the save

04:55:53.120 --> 04:55:58.200
There's 15 seconds. No time to get onto the a site from long now. So

04:55:59.000 --> 04:56:03.040
It's all things. They may have made their way down, but little do they know they're not even going for this round

04:56:03.040 --> 04:56:09.320
Would you believe in the end the NPL gift on long works out for that kensas or flank

04:56:09.320 --> 04:56:13.000
which pretty much puts an end to the round, right? Maybe it was by design all along.

04:56:17.800 --> 04:56:18.600
I guess so.

04:56:20.600 --> 04:56:24.600
Couple consecutive rounds being strung together here. We've seen Sizi commit himself into these

04:56:24.600 --> 04:56:29.640
bathroom positions before and that time comes up Rosie for him dancing around with the sniper

04:56:29.640 --> 04:56:35.320
rifle. Big opportunity now for bait in round 10. Broken by for Aurora.

04:56:35.320 --> 04:56:40.520
up. This is where they could really sink their teeth into the CT side and start to make this

04:56:40.520 --> 04:56:49.400
competitive. Very much so. Now confirmed the fact that Navi is the opponent in that lower bracket

04:56:49.400 --> 04:56:54.920
final they have managed to deal with Hottu in two maps as we thought they would. Fortunately,

04:56:55.800 --> 04:57:00.920
one of our previous Rio champions Norbert is eliminated. Please have a good event. Hottu

04:57:00.920 --> 04:57:03.800
who haven't done themselves in a service.

04:57:03.800 --> 04:57:05.760
It's tough for them.

04:57:05.760 --> 04:57:07.520
Oh, great pick from Zantares.

04:57:07.520 --> 04:57:10.320
Kenzor goes for a little glance and gets immediately deleted,

04:57:10.320 --> 04:57:13.160
and now just a classic B take off the back of that axe,

04:57:13.160 --> 04:57:16.640
gets one, and then Zantares is still delivering from short.

04:57:16.640 --> 04:57:19.840
Centiel tries to peek to help, but can't even get any other duel

04:57:19.840 --> 04:57:22.280
than the one against Zantares.

04:57:22.280 --> 04:57:23.600
Says he will do some good knee damage,

04:57:23.600 --> 04:57:27.000
and actually Woxic takes a lot for that follow-up.

04:57:27.000 --> 04:57:30.360
But it is a 2v4, and they need these guns

04:57:30.360 --> 04:57:36.200
the following round. I love the explosive option there from Aurora. I really, really like how

04:57:36.200 --> 04:57:40.120
quickly they actually accelerate into that B bomb site once Antares gets that opening kill.

04:57:40.120 --> 04:57:44.680
Just start flooding their way through Monster Tunnel. Let the Mactanes rip, let them off the leash,

04:57:44.680 --> 04:57:49.240
and the Hounds hunt the bait players down. Zantares is the one to continue to control from

04:57:49.240 --> 04:57:54.600
construction as well as he gets that second frag to really make sure there's no chance for the

04:57:54.600 --> 04:57:59.440
the defense and they completely crumble over on that B-bomb spike to bait and that will

04:57:59.440 --> 04:58:03.600
get Aurora a lead at a minimum they'll now have seven rounds going into the second half

04:58:03.600 --> 04:58:07.960
that's what I said would be the baseline for them to feel comfortable obviously that's

04:58:07.960 --> 04:58:11.680
more rounds than you would normally need on the T side but as we've already highlighted

04:58:11.680 --> 04:58:15.240
they do tend to have some struggles in the defensive half of this map so this is now

04:58:15.240 --> 04:58:16.960
giving them the boost that they would have needed.

04:58:16.960 --> 04:58:22.760
Yeah very unusually so because yeah I mean I remember we covered quite a lot of the old

04:58:22.760 --> 04:58:27.760
that's not the strong, um, team

04:58:27.760 --> 04:58:28.760
that plays in big events as it

04:58:28.760 --> 04:58:30.760
was as it is now as it was back

04:58:30.760 --> 04:58:31.760
then. But you know, they were

04:58:31.760 --> 04:58:32.760
really solid overpass and

04:58:32.760 --> 04:58:34.760
appeared with this exact lineup

04:58:34.760 --> 04:58:36.760
where. Um, you see the overpass

04:58:36.760 --> 04:58:38.760
was something they would rely on

04:58:38.760 --> 04:58:40.760
when I knew this wasn't in the

04:58:40.760 --> 04:58:42.760
pool. Have maybe two or three

04:58:42.760 --> 04:58:44.760
maps. I think Aurora do play

04:58:44.760 --> 04:58:45.760
well, even if they don't have a

04:58:45.760 --> 04:58:47.760
new business in the pool. It's

04:58:47.760 --> 04:58:49.760
dust to overpass and inferno.

04:58:49.760 --> 04:58:50.760
Um, of course, one of those

04:58:50.760 --> 04:58:51.760
wasn't going to be played, so

04:58:51.760 --> 04:58:55.460
So, if we go three.

04:58:57.460 --> 04:58:59.320
Yeah, which we shouldn't, right?

04:58:59.320 --> 04:59:01.460
I mean, obviously there has been some like spurts

04:59:01.460 --> 04:59:03.140
of competition coming through from bait

04:59:03.140 --> 04:59:05.060
at that streak of five on Mirage.

04:59:05.060 --> 04:59:06.940
It was basically the only thing to get excited about

04:59:06.940 --> 04:59:08.860
at that point, there went up five, four

04:59:08.860 --> 04:59:11.100
and then it was just all Aurora from there.

04:59:11.100 --> 04:59:13.820
And here they've looked super sharp.

04:59:13.820 --> 04:59:16.820
I mean, if Aurora had to eco once throughout the series

04:59:16.820 --> 04:59:19.740
so far, it's weird.

04:59:19.740 --> 04:59:20.580
You don't even mention it.

04:59:20.580 --> 04:59:30.580
It feels like I've always had some kind of a buy. No full hard eco.

04:59:30.580 --> 04:59:35.580
Just speaks volumes to how much control they've had throughout the series, right?

04:59:35.580 --> 04:59:36.580
Indeed.

04:59:36.580 --> 04:59:40.580
Lash into long bathroom, self-level clear that.

04:59:40.580 --> 04:59:44.580
And that's a classic M4. That's a tornado with the LDLC stickers on it.

04:59:44.580 --> 04:59:46.580
Was that Planet Key Dynamics as well there? I can't see.

04:59:46.580 --> 04:59:54.380
say it's a classic three-pack winter 2014 you're right with the bear yes actually

04:59:54.380 --> 05:00:00.140
have a team in CS again picking up the poles of course again I've gone back home

05:00:00.140 --> 05:00:06.420
haven't they exactly all right this is make or break for beta there's any

05:00:06.420 --> 05:00:09.700
chance for them here on the map they have to win round 11 otherwise it's

05:00:09.700 --> 05:00:13.580
almost a guarantee it'd be 9-3 with them being completely broken both

05:00:13.580 --> 05:00:20.140
financially and just mentally have at least gotten an opening kill. It's the

05:00:20.140 --> 05:00:24.780
crown jewel of Zantare's removed from the T side. Two players in control of short.

05:00:24.780 --> 05:00:30.700
They don't need a monster player because of that. You can focus the rest of their defense on A. Alex

05:00:30.700 --> 05:00:35.340
will get one, but with Cardia trade, NPL quickly, they get this and then being baited in and gets

05:00:35.340 --> 05:00:39.740
one and a half. That might be enough because Kinsor is still hiding in the corner of truck.

05:01:09.740 --> 05:01:14.220
don't think that would happen against a team of Aurora's calibre, obviously an entire

05:01:14.220 --> 05:01:19.100
tier between passion you air, especially once they're not having Senzu at this event, and

05:01:19.100 --> 05:01:23.060
the level you're going to get from Aurora, especially with Woxic on that CT side, you'd

05:01:23.060 --> 05:01:28.140
imagine he's going to be more than just a handful with that AWP once he gets going.

05:01:28.140 --> 05:01:39.900
If that wasn't in an essential flank, then SoulFly may have been able to hop away and

05:01:39.900 --> 05:01:45.060
play from Bathroom or play the headshot angle on the grass maybe, but yeah, never going

05:01:45.060 --> 05:01:46.060
to happen.

05:01:46.060 --> 05:01:47.060
That is all if, but some maybes.

05:01:47.060 --> 05:01:48.060
That is not reality.

05:01:48.060 --> 05:01:50.060
That is an alternate universe.

05:01:50.060 --> 05:01:53.140
Fly around of Overpass first half.

05:01:53.140 --> 05:01:56.900
So far, looking to try and take some initiative up short here.

05:01:56.900 --> 05:02:01.220
So as Antares did this earlier, I've actually seen Bacadir do it as well.

05:02:01.220 --> 05:02:03.140
Now it's Sulfly's turn.

05:02:03.140 --> 05:02:11.380
Now he's seen quite a bit of success from this position being taken up by Aurora in

05:02:11.380 --> 05:02:12.380
the early stage.

05:02:12.380 --> 05:02:17.140
Sulfly not searching as much as some of his teammates have in the early stages of the

05:02:17.140 --> 05:02:18.140
round.

05:02:18.140 --> 05:02:20.820
Makes sense because the way that the team is set up is sort of like they're really in

05:02:20.820 --> 05:02:24.380
position to try and capitalize off of him making a play instead. It is going to be Zantaurus

05:02:24.380 --> 05:02:27.920
trying to poke through monster. And that's going to cost him his life. Alex will double

05:02:27.920 --> 05:02:32.700
down that one at range on to Magus. The bait are finally getting going. Maybe a little

05:02:32.700 --> 05:02:35.940
bit too late on the defensive half, but at least they're going to give themselves a bit

05:02:35.940 --> 05:02:36.940
to work on.

05:02:36.940 --> 05:02:42.780
They know that's all flight though, but he can't get the second with Woxic 26 HP. Working

05:02:42.780 --> 05:02:47.380
their way back in. It does not seem possible with 50 seconds on the clock even. You need

05:02:47.380 --> 05:02:52.900
crazy entry from Wikipedia. Is he got a gun on the ground to grab that? He's trying to find it,

05:02:53.780 --> 05:02:59.620
but only with a P250 at the moment. What's happened there? I'll go back for mages, I think.

05:02:59.620 --> 05:03:05.380
Has he got time to do that? There we go. Okay, I think he was looking to see if anyone had thrown

05:03:05.380 --> 05:03:09.700
that gun forward into the smoke, but you will take the Galil in the end. Unfortunately,

05:03:09.700 --> 05:03:16.500
it's wasted quite a lot of time, and now he's got Util, but Woxic needs to go crazy on this entry.

05:03:16.500 --> 05:03:22.000
Actually not ready for it there Alex, showing the trend will come through though and yes, Ascentfield does confirm it.

05:03:22.000 --> 05:03:25.700
Oh, that HE was thrown, that could have found the kill on Ascentfield.

05:03:25.700 --> 05:03:29.000
Wikipedia is very stuck here, but the AK picked up now.

05:03:29.000 --> 05:03:35.500
We'll find the duel on Ascentfield, 4 seconds for the plant, just about gets it, in comes an HE, and the charge in from MPL.

05:03:35.500 --> 05:03:42.000
And once again, bait stay in touch, but once again, Aurora are keeping them at fingers length.

05:05:46.500 --> 05:05:48.500
I

05:06:46.500 --> 05:07:00.100
Another banger from the ESL halftime playlist to take us into the second half of Overpass

05:07:00.100 --> 05:07:01.100
bait.

05:07:01.100 --> 05:07:04.340
They've made some blunders on this map, but they're still in touchmats.

05:07:04.340 --> 05:07:09.740
Yeah, they are with that little resurgence at the end of the halftime, I feel like they

05:07:09.740 --> 05:07:12.300
have kept this campaign somewhat on track.

05:07:12.300 --> 05:07:15.780
I mean, I think Aurora have done the job by getting themselves a bit of a lead going into

05:07:15.780 --> 05:07:20.740
second half but we have already highlighted that some of these frailties have been exposed by

05:07:20.740 --> 05:07:25.060
Aurora's defense on this map before so let's see if they can do that as well to try and force a

05:07:25.060 --> 05:07:32.740
decider. Sizzly smoke flash Alex smoke flash flash danger with the utility for Aurora.

05:07:32.740 --> 05:07:36.660
Woxic will work his way through from long though very aggressive open to the pistol needs to help

05:07:36.660 --> 05:07:43.700
down oh my goodness blinky you will have missed it the pistol rounds over I was about to say

05:07:43.700 --> 05:07:48.140
Woxic what are you doing get out of there after you find the opening kill but that's why I'm talking about the game

05:07:48.140 --> 05:07:54.900
And it's why he's in the server fantastic mechanics on display coming through from Woxic throws the textbook out the window

05:07:54.900 --> 05:07:59.420
And he just puts lead in the head of the bay plane so much presence there from Aurora

05:07:59.420 --> 05:08:03.780
That is no holds barred no chance for bait to even set up what they wanted to do

05:08:05.380 --> 05:08:09.540
Split second CT pistol win for Aurora

05:08:09.540 --> 05:08:18.200
And on the CT side we mentioned they have an unusual low win rate from that like overpass

05:08:18.200 --> 05:08:24.440
Let's see if they can change that today. They've got the pistol and I've got to get the conversion

05:08:24.440 --> 05:08:28.920
because it's a full eco for baits and Woxic is looking for some dollar

05:08:28.920 --> 05:08:36.440
Yeah, four for four in pistol rounds are Aurora now with that second half pistol going their

05:08:36.440 --> 05:08:42.320
Wait you spoke about money for the SMG. Well, there's another multi-kill coming through from him back to back triple kills

05:08:42.800 --> 05:08:44.800
Out of the Turkish talent there

05:08:46.360 --> 05:08:50.800
And that will probably does he just drop the MP9 here and get the up

05:08:50.800 --> 05:08:55.800
I mean, I reckon they'll probably play the bonus out, but I think Woxic is gonna be a menace here

05:08:56.640 --> 05:09:00.000
They need four more rounds out of ten left remaining in the half

05:09:00.000 --> 05:09:03.940
And that would stamp their ticket into the next round of the lower bracket and Woxic indeed

05:09:03.940 --> 05:09:06.940
has got the sniper rifle as early as his first gun round.

05:09:09.940 --> 05:09:10.940
Shot Molly for control.

05:09:10.940 --> 05:09:14.940
Often you will see a CT side maybe going for the run boost to get across that

05:09:14.940 --> 05:09:17.940
and get short control early, but instead they're Tri-Middle.

05:09:17.940 --> 05:09:18.940
All that makes it like to break the smoke.

05:09:18.940 --> 05:09:21.940
Decadian knows it, but still gets one.

05:09:21.940 --> 05:09:23.940
Look at Zantares, this is really cheeky.

05:09:23.940 --> 05:09:25.940
He's not showing himself in playground.

05:09:25.940 --> 05:09:28.940
He's about to have a whale of a time.

05:09:28.940 --> 05:09:30.940
Hage is now coming in to help out as well.

05:09:30.940 --> 05:09:35.820
as well as you 30 it's all being thrown and Santar as a hearing this trampling around the

05:09:36.380 --> 05:09:42.540
T says position a match has done really well a kill and a half that is when Santar is will activate

05:09:43.660 --> 05:09:46.140
incredible pressure early half here for Marora.

05:09:48.940 --> 05:09:53.100
I love it in this first gun round as well because they know they've got baits backs against the

05:09:53.100 --> 05:09:57.100
wall they know that bait bait are going to be feeling the pressure coming into this round and

05:09:57.100 --> 05:10:01.600
And so Aurora looked to just try and snap the neck of Bait early on in the second half

05:10:01.600 --> 05:10:04.940
by throwing themselves into the action, finding the kills.

05:10:04.940 --> 05:10:08.360
And that extra trade there from Xantares gets them the advantage.

05:10:08.360 --> 05:10:12.160
Now, Senthiel is searching for short and NPL's gone up the lowest stairs.

05:10:12.160 --> 05:10:15.540
The problem is that the bomb is all the way back at the top of the ladder.

05:10:15.540 --> 05:10:18.440
Now, Senthiel with the spray not gonna go his way,

05:10:18.440 --> 05:10:22.960
and it's only NPL left who should be able to catch Xantares off guard maybe,

05:10:22.960 --> 05:10:26.640
but then he's got such limited time to try and win the 1v2 afterwards.

05:10:26.640 --> 05:10:28.060
Oh, no, it's known.

05:10:28.060 --> 05:10:30.180
And Antares will still find the kill.

05:10:30.180 --> 05:10:33.640
Ah, these little moments in the game for beta are really unfortunate.

05:10:33.640 --> 05:10:39.000
It's not the first time you've seen a whiff cost him a route back into a round as well, right?

05:10:42.240 --> 05:10:43.120
Yeah, true.

05:10:43.120 --> 05:10:46.920
And these guys are just so ridiculously good that they will punish you.

05:10:46.920 --> 05:10:50.360
You've got to take advantage of everything you can get.

05:10:50.360 --> 05:10:56.040
I mean, the Kensisaw was the worst example of all the whiffs so far in this series.

05:10:56.640 --> 05:11:05.480
Bait down to an eco and Aurora basically within touching distance of that date with Navi which is now being confirmed as Navi did get the win over Hottu

05:11:07.880 --> 05:11:10.140
And Aurora versus Navi would be

05:11:10.780 --> 05:11:14.240
Accentulating affair to try and get a spot out there in the arena

05:11:15.040 --> 05:11:20.900
So they can do it up here to this is gonna be a big burst into the speed bombs right side straight through the monster smokes all fly

05:11:20.900 --> 05:11:24.640
We'll spray down one but there's an immediate response out of the entry frag a kensi

05:11:24.640 --> 05:11:29.120
with two out of the ten. Oh, Zantares and Maja are having to work their way back in now, but

05:11:29.120 --> 05:11:35.680
Maja gets caught even as that smoke is reappearing in front of his eyes and all of a sudden

05:11:36.800 --> 05:11:42.320
six for bait because Zantares is leaving and Woxic is already playing Exit kills outside

05:11:42.320 --> 05:11:46.960
Monster so that is one that we didn't expect, that's for sure. Axis on the hunt as well,

05:11:46.960 --> 05:11:51.760
that Woxic AWP, oh sorry, the Zantares AK might not be alive for too much longer.

05:11:51.760 --> 05:11:58.200
in quite a lot of noise and Sizi has seen him easily removed so we've got a bit

05:11:58.200 --> 05:12:07.200
of a lifeline here coming in for baits I never expecting Alex oh did he see him I

05:12:07.200 --> 05:12:11.340
mean it was so quick when he was moving around he might not have spotted him but

05:12:11.340 --> 05:12:15.940
that smoke in play he may have actually created enough space for himself so yeah

05:12:15.940 --> 05:12:20.040
looks like that will be carried across like you say a lifeline indeed are a

05:12:20.040 --> 05:12:24.500
a preve as bait able to win the slight investment courtesy of a kensy saw moment which had been

05:12:24.500 --> 05:12:25.500
few and far between.

05:12:25.500 --> 05:12:29.540
He's the hard entry frag for bait and he's really struggled to crack these bomb sites

05:12:29.540 --> 05:12:33.220
open against Aurora, which is obviously always going to be very difficult against some really

05:12:33.220 --> 05:12:40.540
talented players, but that is a lead off here as it gives them a way back in potentially.

05:12:40.540 --> 05:12:44.860
Let's see Sizi enjoying himself in some way, even though he's not having the best of games

05:12:44.860 --> 05:12:46.860
and they're losing a map in 10-6.

05:12:46.860 --> 05:12:50.540
Um, and you gotta enjoy it when you're still a young player.

05:12:50.540 --> 05:12:55.620
Don't be too hard on yourself, I know some players are, even from day one.

05:12:55.620 --> 05:12:58.420
Of course there'll be some of those players, some of the best players in the world, but

05:12:58.420 --> 05:13:00.060
you catch my drift.

05:13:00.060 --> 05:13:01.580
Yeah, for sure.

05:13:01.580 --> 05:13:03.460
I mean, he's only 16, which is crazy.

05:13:03.460 --> 05:13:07.580
Unfortunately, Donka's ruined everybody's perspective on how good a 16-year-old should

05:13:07.580 --> 05:13:08.580
actually be.

05:13:08.580 --> 05:13:13.980
Yasuke, another one of those examples, but he still has a long career ahead of him.

05:13:13.980 --> 05:13:17.660
you can figure out some of those other aspects of the game's antara is well that tree doesn't provide

05:13:17.660 --> 05:13:21.740
much cover once they realize that you're there good first frag in the round you're for bait to

05:13:21.740 --> 05:13:27.740
start to get things going now what's it come back at i have to make a move to creep forward

05:13:29.020 --> 05:13:33.740
oh that's an annoying mess yeah smoke was awkward for him maybe taking a little bit of

05:13:33.740 --> 05:13:40.860
a distraction from it but he'll go for long instead good flash and on as even on long says he

05:13:40.860 --> 05:13:45.740
he will see his enemy but not be able to take him down and now he's down to 38 HP.

05:13:47.500 --> 05:13:48.580
Check the gamble, Trav.

05:13:48.820 --> 05:13:51.940
All four players for Aurora in and around the Saybombs site.

05:13:51.940 --> 05:13:54.300
Really well poised to deal with what's coming their way.

05:13:54.460 --> 05:13:55.420
NPL spotted.

05:13:55.540 --> 05:13:59.260
He's also gonna be isolated now as his teammates have been locked up by the incendiary.

05:13:59.260 --> 05:14:01.900
They've decided to try and go through it straight into the Turkish plunder.

05:14:02.020 --> 05:14:06.100
It's a delight here from Aurora as they find a quick couple of kills in 30 seconds left

05:14:06.100 --> 05:14:08.940
and it's gonna be so easy as they mow the middle tower.

05:14:08.940 --> 05:14:15.580
I mean, that'll put smiles on Aurora faces. That was I could not have been easier considering they're in a disadvantage

05:14:16.380 --> 05:14:24.460
Charging through long no second prong coming from bathroom really hurting them there. Just having full control and full vision on long

05:14:25.500 --> 05:14:28.420
That's really made that such a more comfortable hold and to be fair

05:14:28.420 --> 05:14:31.780
I mean that just saw NPL before he was fully blinded, but he's still got the kill

05:14:32.420 --> 05:14:36.740
During his blindness and that made a big difference into making it on a lot more comfortable

05:14:36.740 --> 05:14:41.740
I can't say what he just said,

05:14:41.740 --> 05:14:42.740
but if you're a look reader,

05:14:42.740 --> 05:14:43.740
you don't really even have to be one.

05:14:43.740 --> 05:14:45.740
That was pretty obvious.

05:14:45.740 --> 05:14:48.740
Oxy can't even believe how easy that was.

05:14:48.740 --> 05:14:51.740
Crazy. Good work from Soulfly.

05:14:51.740 --> 05:14:52.740
Tantares, by the way,

05:14:52.740 --> 05:14:55.740
went 25 and 11 in map one with a 1.9 rating,

05:14:55.740 --> 05:14:57.740
124 ADR,

05:14:57.740 --> 05:14:59.740
and he's delivering again here.

05:14:59.740 --> 05:15:01.740
It's going to be a really good series for Tantares.

05:15:01.740 --> 05:15:02.740
And I know, like, you know,

05:15:02.740 --> 05:15:03.740
bait aren't on the level of the teams

05:15:03.740 --> 05:15:04.740
that you know,

05:15:04.740 --> 05:15:10.740
Now, Rora want to punch up two to try and beat to make the playoffs with Navi waiting in the wings later, but

05:15:11.860 --> 05:15:17.140
at least it's a good sign that he's woken up today and is looking more like the Zantara as we know.

05:15:17.140 --> 05:15:21.380
With that hand injury that we know he's got, it's always something that could be on your mind,

05:15:21.380 --> 05:15:25.540
even if you're feeling okay. So, yeah, it's great to see him play well again.

05:15:27.780 --> 05:15:32.820
Absolutely. It's always a fantastic showing when Zantara is online in a big way.

05:15:32.820 --> 05:15:37.620
good spray from kensisor nearly on the transfer there as well this is what they need out of him

05:15:37.620 --> 05:15:42.820
on the t-side their t-sides for bait are heavily reliant on these opening kills kensisor attempts

05:15:42.820 --> 05:15:48.500
like a third of the opening kills for bait when he's finding success like that he makes their

05:15:48.500 --> 05:16:00.180
lives a whole lot easier another annoying start to the round for aurora now woxic is the man to be

05:16:00.180 --> 05:16:05.700
in playground on a random timing instead. It was Antares before. Very deep push from him.

05:16:06.900 --> 05:16:11.460
Antares will be okay. It is. And Antares is getting boosted up. Oh, now leg C. That is very

05:16:11.460 --> 05:16:15.540
awkward. They know it's the AWPer. They might do now. And Antares, as he drops down, still finds

05:16:15.540 --> 05:16:24.180
one. And I don't quite know how Sizzy hasn't punished Woxic. Oh, he's completely trapped,

05:16:24.180 --> 05:16:27.380
but the kills continue to go down on the opposite side of the map. And at this point,

05:16:27.380 --> 05:16:30.020
Waxx is just trying to stay alive for as long as he possibly can.

05:16:30.020 --> 05:16:33.140
He knows that they're crunching in on both sides from him on top of the slide.

05:16:33.140 --> 05:16:37.140
He's having some fun in the playground, but Alex will eventually end playtime.

05:16:37.140 --> 05:16:39.060
But there's only 30 seconds left on the clock.

05:16:39.060 --> 05:16:43.540
Yeah, not watched playtime left in the entirety of IEM Rio for bait, maybe, I'm afraid.

05:16:44.740 --> 05:16:45.220
Mm-mm.

05:16:47.940 --> 05:16:49.940
20 for this round.

05:16:50.820 --> 05:16:54.340
Bot utility, but thing is, look at what kind of playing a really good position.

05:16:54.340 --> 05:17:01.700
already fall back once he gets the information and 10 seconds is a massive issue for Bait.

05:17:01.700 --> 05:17:05.020
Bomb is now waking up onto the site but they have to check so many angles and they can't

05:17:05.020 --> 05:17:11.780
get that bomb planted and just like that MPL is having to run away 12 for Aurora and just

05:17:11.780 --> 05:17:17.020
like map 1 they have double the score of Bait at 12-6.

05:17:17.020 --> 05:17:22.460
It's another opening kill that goes awry for Bait and that's just criminal and this

05:17:22.460 --> 05:17:26.380
This is how it had started was Kenzie saw just charging up shore catching soulfly completely

05:17:26.380 --> 05:17:31.420
unaware but unfortunately it doesn't actually materialize into a round that gives Aurora

05:17:31.420 --> 05:17:37.060
six chances here to seal the fate of the series and progress forward here in the competition.

05:17:37.060 --> 05:17:40.060
They've made light work of bait so far which is a bit underwhelming right we would have

05:17:40.060 --> 05:17:43.620
been at least hopeful that bait could have made this a contest but it certainly hasn't

05:17:43.620 --> 05:17:45.140
been that way.

05:17:45.140 --> 05:17:53.460
The opportunity to go for the boost on the long ledge for Woxic looking all the way through

05:17:53.460 --> 05:17:54.460
the diner.

05:17:54.460 --> 05:17:55.460
Or head scene.

05:17:55.460 --> 05:17:56.460
And that's good info.

05:17:56.460 --> 05:18:05.060
I really like the observing there with the little fly through for us to see how they're

05:18:05.060 --> 05:18:06.560
stacking themselves up.

05:18:06.560 --> 05:18:10.900
Shout out to Shev and Jonas for pushing all the buttons as far as the observing is concerned

05:18:10.900 --> 05:18:13.860
on the B3 Waxing, last button one, not going to connect.

05:18:13.860 --> 05:18:15.740
He will catch them completely off guard,

05:18:15.740 --> 05:18:17.340
he cuts through from the back lines,

05:18:17.340 --> 05:18:19.180
and he finishes it off in style.

05:18:19.180 --> 05:18:22.260
Aurora, job done as they will push on in to Narmine.

05:18:22.260 --> 05:18:24.660
That's an apt ending to the entire series.

05:18:24.660 --> 05:18:28.020
I don't forget how Aurora won the CT pistol round.

05:18:28.020 --> 05:18:29.500
That was over in a flash,

05:18:29.500 --> 05:18:31.340
and that one might have been just as quick.

05:18:31.340 --> 05:18:33.660
Goodness me, right into that blender.

05:18:33.660 --> 05:18:36.140
And as you said earlier, it is definitely a Turkish delight.

05:18:36.140 --> 05:18:38.060
It's created something tasty for Aurora,

05:18:38.060 --> 05:18:40.820
but there is a lot more things to come as you say.

05:18:40.820 --> 05:18:44.260
Bait should have been an easy game for them. It was an easy game for them.

05:18:44.260 --> 05:18:49.700
Now, Navi to come, and haven't they had impressive and exciting matchups in the past?

05:18:50.540 --> 05:18:55.220
Yeah, I mean, you're right. That is going to be such a fun game for a spot at the playoffs

05:18:55.220 --> 05:18:57.780
to get to play in front of the crowd on the stage.

05:18:57.780 --> 05:19:01.540
One of those teams is going to be extremely disappointed, not opening, going all the way.

05:19:01.540 --> 05:19:05.860
Bait, it is the end of their road. It was a meek exit from the competition.

05:19:05.860 --> 05:19:09.700
I mean, sure, a tough draw for them where they got knocked down to the lower bracket by Navi,

05:19:09.700 --> 05:19:14.100
and then they were eliminated by Aurora without even really having put up much of a fight.

05:19:14.660 --> 05:19:18.500
I know it's a shame for Bate, right? And it does kind of go in turn with how their season

05:19:18.500 --> 05:19:23.620
is being played out, right? They did make the major in Cologne. That is the main positive. They

05:19:23.620 --> 05:19:31.220
won that plan over in Denmark to qualify. But in general, they just haven't had any consistency.

05:19:31.220 --> 05:19:36.260
And the inconsistency in that AWP role, for me, is the main thing. Like, you root head trick,

05:19:36.260 --> 05:19:42.060
You wanted something more explosive the head trick had a stable level which I think you know was good enough for this bait team and

05:19:42.380 --> 05:19:47.780
You know going from one 16 year old or per to another. I'm not so sure if that's the answer

05:19:49.060 --> 05:19:54.620
Yeah, I mean a lot of questions at this point they're locked in for the major and then maybe they'll reassess from there

05:19:54.620 --> 05:19:58.100
I mean like I said, obviously very difficult teams that they had to play up against

05:19:58.100 --> 05:20:02.420
There's no shame in losing to Navi and Aurora. It was more just about the maps that they lost

05:20:02.420 --> 05:20:07.380
They never got to double digits in any of them right 13 0 and then what like 13 4 in the two maps

05:20:07.380 --> 05:20:12.940
They lost to Navi and then 13 7 and 13 5 here against Aurora 13 6 rather

05:20:13.340 --> 05:20:18.540
They just got completely dominated. We're never really in the contest of any of the maps that went against them

05:20:19.260 --> 05:20:21.700
Yeah, but at least for Aurora's sake right?

05:20:21.700 --> 05:20:28.740
It's a really important win to get this one done easily because even the game against how to that map to that when all the

05:20:28.740 --> 05:20:31.780
Waiter over time when they were 9 1 up. I mean, you know Aurora

05:20:32.420 --> 05:20:37.300
sometimes play the really really long series and it ties them out stresses them out and they you know

05:20:37.300 --> 05:20:41.380
You've seen the tilt get to them more often than not, especially xantharis to be fair

05:20:41.780 --> 05:20:46.180
Um, and yeah to get this one done cleanly will be really grateful

05:20:46.420 --> 05:20:50.740
Especially when they know that that game to come later tonight and a little chance to breathe

05:20:51.700 --> 05:20:57.620
Yeah, there are teams that have always I think generally speaking in the past year or so been very good at teams that are quite

05:20:57.620 --> 05:21:02.720
like a tier below them. They've always been really reliable in those sorts of series. Obviously a

05:21:02.720 --> 05:21:07.680
draculant, it didn't really go that way with some losses to M18 Alliance. But like you say, such a

05:21:07.680 --> 05:21:14.120
convincing win over bait will just restore that conviction that they are way above a team at that

05:21:14.120 --> 05:21:18.120
level. And that's how we've come to know them, right? Like always just kind of hanging in and

05:21:18.120 --> 05:21:22.520
around that top eight level. And that's exactly what they displayed in the series today.

05:21:22.520 --> 05:21:27.120
Yeah, they had a decent season. We went into the game talking about how, you know, maybe a

05:21:27.120 --> 05:21:30.320
maybe expectations for them were a little bit lower

05:21:30.320 --> 05:21:31.960
because of the changes they made,

05:21:31.960 --> 05:21:33.520
but I'll tell you what,

05:21:33.520 --> 05:21:35.840
there was one man who showed us up on that one

05:21:35.840 --> 05:21:37.680
and deservedly so, is SoulFly,

05:21:37.680 --> 05:21:38.960
and I believe we've got an interview ready

05:21:38.960 --> 05:21:40.560
with him right now.

05:21:40.560 --> 05:21:43.520
SoulFly, my friend, congratulations on your W.

05:21:43.520 --> 05:21:45.800
That was really clean from you guys.

05:21:45.800 --> 05:21:48.640
Talk us through the first map and the,

05:21:48.640 --> 05:21:49.840
I guess the close first half,

05:21:49.840 --> 05:21:51.480
but then leading into an easy win.

05:21:51.480 --> 05:22:01.680
Yeah, we prepared really well for this B8 game, like the both Mirage and Overpass.

05:22:01.680 --> 05:22:08.560
And Overpass is lately really strong, I feel like, we're playing really strong, and they

05:22:08.560 --> 05:22:12.240
also played well, but at the end of the day we managed to win.

05:22:12.240 --> 05:22:17.680
Tophla, I'd like to know about the decisions actually pick Overpass coming into the series,

05:22:17.680 --> 05:22:23.680
I did my prep on Dust2 for the most part, now I was a little bit surprised, maybe Bait also expected you guys to pick Dust,

05:22:23.680 --> 05:22:27.680
so can you give us some insights onto the decision making there for the veto?

05:22:29.680 --> 05:22:35.680
Yeah, like in the practice room we were discussing what should we pitch, and we had kind of a three option,

05:22:35.680 --> 05:22:41.680
but we decided to pick Opus because we know they don't like to play Opus, they're second-band,

05:22:41.680 --> 05:22:59.680
And as I said, we are slowly step-by-step improving on our pass, and we are in the good level, in my opinion, and then we just picked, you know, because we know that they are not good enough to win against us.

05:22:59.680 --> 05:23:05.320
I'm going to start with you.

05:23:05.320 --> 05:23:07.420
So this is a question I posed

05:23:07.420 --> 05:23:09.420
to to near earlier because

05:23:09.420 --> 05:23:11.420
both me and that have covered

05:23:11.420 --> 05:23:12.420
you for years playing in tier

05:23:12.420 --> 05:23:14.420
two. I mean, I even covered

05:23:14.420 --> 05:23:16.420
you back in in San Gal when you

05:23:16.420 --> 05:23:18.420
first played with with Magia.

05:23:18.420 --> 05:23:20.420
What would you say has been the

05:23:20.420 --> 05:23:22.420
biggest challenge for you in

05:23:22.420 --> 05:23:24.420
that jump from tier two into

05:23:24.420 --> 05:23:26.420
now consistently playing tier

05:23:26.420 --> 05:23:28.420
one and flying all around the

05:23:28.420 --> 05:23:55.420
I think it's really hard to stay at a high level because it's like all the time whatever happens in the past is getting in my head and then sometimes I'm losing confidence, sometimes playing bad, sometimes taking bad decisions, but I feel like I'm improving but I cannot show in the game.

05:23:55.420 --> 05:24:07.980
which I'm trying to more vocal on my side, but yeah, it's hard to stay there and you have to be all the time in Prove,

05:24:07.980 --> 05:24:15.220
because it's so, like everybody remember you from your past game, you know, previous game, so today it was a good,

05:24:15.220 --> 05:24:20.380
but in general staying at this high level, it's hard, but I hope I can make it.

05:24:20.380 --> 05:24:26.120
You're ready, mate. You've already been extremely impressive and there's still a lot of lessons

05:24:26.120 --> 05:24:30.700
to be learned. You've done a great job. Last question before we let you go. Next opponent

05:24:30.700 --> 05:24:35.440
is going to be Na'Vi for a spot in the arena on the stage. A team that you guys have really

05:24:35.440 --> 05:24:39.740
struggled to beat in recent times. I'm sure you guys are looking for revenge after the

05:24:39.740 --> 05:24:45.020
way that that ESL Pro League finals game went. How are you guys feeling about that series

05:24:45.020 --> 05:24:47.020
later on today against Na'Vi?

05:24:49.900 --> 05:24:52.940
I mean, I don't remember how many times we lost against them,

05:24:52.940 --> 05:24:57.580
but there is some error to stop, you know, so we should stop this area.

05:24:58.620 --> 05:25:07.660
I believe today, what we showed against B8, it was good, and I hope this time we can win,

05:25:07.660 --> 05:25:12.540
and we are really confident about playing against Na'Vi, because yesterday we had a long talk

05:25:12.540 --> 05:25:16.980
about why we lost and then some issue we had.

05:25:16.980 --> 05:25:20.940
But today in the morning, when we were eating breakfast as a team,

05:25:21.500 --> 05:25:25.380
and then I feel like everybody was happy and I can feel from outside

05:25:25.380 --> 05:25:29.220
we're going to make good, we're going to show a good game today.

05:25:29.380 --> 05:25:33.860
And then we showed on B8 and I believe we're going to show on the another game as well.

05:25:35.420 --> 05:25:36.860
Well, I have faith too, man.

05:25:36.860 --> 05:25:38.860
Thank you for joining us for a conversation.

05:25:38.860 --> 05:25:41.420
Always good to hear from you and best of luck in that next game.

05:25:41.420 --> 05:25:44.120
I hope to get to see you guys on the stage in the next few days.

05:25:44.920 --> 05:25:46.920
Thank you so much. My pleasure. Bye bye, guys.

05:25:48.120 --> 05:25:49.820
Chersulf life. Good stuff.

05:25:49.920 --> 05:25:51.020
Hot news, Trav.

05:25:51.520 --> 05:25:53.720
Go on. Aurora eat breakfast together.

05:25:56.120 --> 05:25:57.720
Oh, well, there you go.

05:25:57.720 --> 05:25:59.920
I mean, I guess that's why they won today, huh?

05:26:00.420 --> 05:26:02.120
We know the key. We know the secret.

05:26:02.720 --> 05:26:06.020
But yeah, it's a really important win for them, and I'm very glad to see them get it,

05:26:06.020 --> 05:26:08.120
because I think that Aurora and RV game should be a banger.

05:26:08.120 --> 05:26:15.080
of course there are two incredible matches to come on the B stream spirit G2 to come and then that

05:26:15.080 --> 05:26:20.920
Aurora Nabi game later these are some gigabangers and Neo and Scriv will have the pleasure of taking

05:26:20.920 --> 05:26:26.680
you through those to see who makes a FAMASI arena very exciting for us now that is it for our

05:26:26.680 --> 05:26:31.000
coverage for here we've loved being a part of this event it's been an absolute pleasure Matt's

05:26:31.000 --> 05:26:34.520
done absolutely brilliantly in its first ever STA tournament I think you should all give him your

05:26:34.520 --> 05:26:39.320
love, but for us too it's time to change shift and we'll see you very soon. Stick around over these

05:26:39.320 --> 05:26:50.920
next two bangers.

05:27:34.520 --> 05:27:43.520
Placent matches set your starting point, face-it rating measures your impact as you climb.

05:27:43.520 --> 05:27:47.520
The soft elo reset narrows the gap between the highest elo players and the rest of level

05:27:47.520 --> 05:27:48.520
10.

05:27:48.520 --> 05:27:51.080
Your starting point will be based on your recent elo inactivity.

05:27:51.080 --> 05:27:55.120
We're introducing face-it rating so you can see exactly how much you stack up against

05:27:55.120 --> 05:27:56.840
others at your level.

05:27:56.840 --> 05:28:00.440
Face-it rating measures how much your actions have increased your team's chances of winning

05:28:00.440 --> 05:28:01.440
the match.

05:28:01.440 --> 05:28:04.280
taking into account the full situation.

05:28:04.280 --> 05:28:06.680
Season 8 launches April 22nd.

05:28:06.680 --> 05:28:08.240
Good luck and have fun.

05:29:08.240 --> 05:29:10.240
Oh

05:29:38.240 --> 05:29:40.240
I

05:32:38.240 --> 05:32:45.920
The Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2026 is brought to you by ESL and partnership with Intel,

05:32:48.560 --> 05:32:49.840
Acer Predator,

05:32:52.000 --> 05:32:52.960
Chex,

05:32:55.760 --> 05:32:57.520
and DHL.

05:33:08.240 --> 05:33:18.240
you. Welcome back in. One and

05:33:18.240 --> 05:33:20.240
all we are moving swiftly into

05:33:20.240 --> 05:33:21.240
an absolute banger here on the

05:33:21.240 --> 05:33:22.240
B stream. I got to be honest.

05:33:22.240 --> 05:33:23.240
We got spirit up against G two

05:33:23.240 --> 05:33:24.240
getting straight into it. I'm

05:33:24.240 --> 05:33:25.240
so excited for this one, man. I

05:33:25.240 --> 05:33:26.240
think it's going to be a great

05:33:26.240 --> 05:33:28.240
game. It really has the

05:33:28.240 --> 05:33:29.240
potential to deliver. We might

05:33:29.240 --> 05:33:31.240
have, you know, these two teams

05:33:31.240 --> 05:33:33.240
not quite 100% spirit have been

05:33:33.240 --> 05:33:35.240
slowly hemorrhaging over the

05:33:35.240 --> 05:33:37.240
course of this year. And of

05:33:37.240 --> 05:33:39.940
Game as it's an important game, of course, a knockout game here.

05:33:39.940 --> 05:33:40.640
Yeah, that's it.

05:33:40.640 --> 05:33:45.740
You know, with both of these suicides as well, they both have kind of like quite distinct kind of pitfalls at the moment,

05:33:45.740 --> 05:33:50.240
which is even with kind of tax-standing and it feels like a GT side that could still upset here, right?

05:33:50.240 --> 05:33:50.740
Sure.

05:33:50.740 --> 05:33:56.540
Proving that they can drop maps and can drop series and can look a little bit weaker than what we've come used to this side.

05:33:56.540 --> 05:34:00.340
And probably even what we expected of this lineup when it was formed on paper.

05:34:00.340 --> 05:34:05.240
It was like, okay, injection of firepower, slight change in kind of the IGL role and everything.

05:34:05.240 --> 05:34:07.640
to feel that this is a team that can build upon this.

05:34:07.640 --> 05:34:09.440
But if anything, it's been the other way.

05:34:09.440 --> 05:34:11.240
And we've kind of the major around the corner.

05:34:11.240 --> 05:34:14.160
This is two different sides who for different reasons

05:34:14.160 --> 05:34:15.720
want to prove what they can do here.

05:34:15.720 --> 05:34:18.920
For Rio, for the likes of G2, it's kind of like,

05:34:18.920 --> 05:34:20.320
yes, we've got to stand in, but that

05:34:20.320 --> 05:34:21.560
could be the future of the slalom.

05:34:21.560 --> 05:34:22.400
No, that is very true.

05:34:22.400 --> 05:34:23.360
That is very, very true.

05:34:23.360 --> 05:34:26.280
I think they're obviously using it as an opportunity

05:34:26.280 --> 05:34:28.200
to test the water, in a sense.

05:34:28.200 --> 05:34:30.760
But we do have a little bit of a look at the main man over

05:34:30.760 --> 05:34:32.680
on the G2 side at the moment.

05:34:32.680 --> 05:34:33.640
That is heavy God.

05:34:33.640 --> 05:34:35.760
He's playing very, very well.

05:34:35.760 --> 05:34:37.320
They obviously, I think both these teams

05:34:37.320 --> 05:34:40.040
have a bit of a tough opening matchup as it were.

05:34:40.040 --> 05:34:42.560
So it kind of makes sense that down here

05:34:42.560 --> 05:34:46.120
in the losers fighting for their life in the group stage.

05:34:46.120 --> 05:34:49.560
But heavy God is a big, big part of the G2 side

05:34:49.560 --> 05:34:50.680
and he has been for a long time.

05:34:50.680 --> 05:34:51.520
Yes, exactly that.

05:34:51.520 --> 05:34:53.000
And of course this tournament so far,

05:34:53.000 --> 05:34:55.800
he's over performing compared to kind of his usual,

05:34:55.800 --> 05:34:58.320
let's say, you know, at a 1.24,

05:34:58.320 --> 05:34:59.520
he's absolutely loving life in the server.

05:34:59.520 --> 05:35:01.560
And they're looking towards him for a lot of firepower, right?

05:35:01.560 --> 05:35:03.560
It is obviously quite a big loss with our Hunter.

05:35:03.560 --> 05:35:08.620
I think very good. He's now going to take a real kind of stake here and kind of prove that he can be here

05:35:08.620 --> 05:35:11.960
This either they can step up in terms of that firepower and he can be a real difference maker

05:35:11.960 --> 05:35:15.440
This is a team that have the makings to bring a lot to the surface

05:35:15.440 --> 05:35:18.060
It's just whether they actually click in general and the thing with heavy

05:35:18.060 --> 05:35:19.300
God, of course, he's performing so well

05:35:19.300 --> 05:35:22.740
But we need a few people around them to really step up it this side really wants a chance

05:35:22.740 --> 05:35:23.760
Yeah, no, I think that is true

05:35:23.760 --> 05:35:29.420
I think maybe they have sort of lent on him in a big way that it's like right even more freedom even more

05:35:29.420 --> 05:35:35.540
responsibility being put onto him here to sort of lead the way. It is a little bit questionable

05:35:35.540 --> 05:35:39.500
I suppose but the big questions are around this guy and of course we've got a little

05:35:39.500 --> 05:35:42.740
bit of a chance to speak to Tag. Let's check in.

05:35:42.740 --> 05:35:48.820
Speaking with Tag ahead of your game and obviously coming into this tournament you get to play

05:35:48.820 --> 05:35:53.020
against number one in the world and number two in the world as well. You had Zayac who

05:35:53.020 --> 05:35:58.260
already on your menu now it's done. How are we feeling before this game against Spirit?

05:35:58.260 --> 05:36:04.140
I mean, it's a big task and a big challenge both yesterday and today, but I mean, we showed

05:36:04.140 --> 05:36:08.180
yesterday that we can and we probably should have won the game.

05:36:08.180 --> 05:36:13.100
So, I mean, we're going through the same mentality today for the victory, of course, for the

05:36:13.100 --> 05:36:14.100
playoffs.

05:36:14.100 --> 05:36:16.540
I mean, it's my dream to play in front of the arena.

05:36:16.540 --> 05:36:20.180
So, yeah, I mean, I hope we win and show good yesterday.

05:36:20.180 --> 05:36:25.540
Obviously, you are lacking some experience in this kind of a tier, but are you channeling

05:36:25.540 --> 05:36:27.780
that maybe nervousness into excitement?

05:36:27.780 --> 05:36:31.860
this technique help you perform better and focus on all the spotlight that is on you right now?

05:36:32.500 --> 05:36:38.100
Yeah for sure as I said in the HLT interview that all of this energy should be transformed

05:36:38.100 --> 05:36:43.540
like for the good so as you said like excitement to have the team up and all this kind of stuff

05:36:44.500 --> 05:36:51.700
but yeah mainly I had nurse on the first day but by the time we play here it's going away

05:36:51.700 --> 05:36:57.540
like bit by bit and I think now I mean I'm just I'm confident myself in the team and

05:36:57.540 --> 05:36:59.140
ready to play the game here.

05:36:59.140 --> 05:37:00.100
It makes complete sense.

05:37:00.100 --> 05:37:02.540
I mean, the Vitality game, you held on your own now,

05:37:02.540 --> 05:37:05.540
you stomped 3D Max, you clearly are showing that there's

05:37:05.540 --> 05:37:07.980
a place for you even in this tier one competition.

05:37:07.980 --> 05:37:11.220
So this confidence, is it like oozing out of you

05:37:11.220 --> 05:37:13.660
or are you just not really caring that much about it?

05:37:13.660 --> 05:37:16.500
Because some players do not ultimately care.

05:37:16.500 --> 05:37:18.220
I mean, talking about confidence, of course,

05:37:18.220 --> 05:37:20.620
it's one of the main things as a player

05:37:20.620 --> 05:37:22.580
you need to have going into the game.

05:37:22.580 --> 05:37:26.180
And it's important to me to feel confident and comfortable

05:37:26.180 --> 05:37:32.340
in the game, so I can do my own moves, not only just teamwork and believing more in myself.

05:37:32.340 --> 05:37:38.380
But of course, each game I'm gaining more confidence and it will be, I think, a key

05:37:38.380 --> 05:37:46.180
factor in this game for the playoffs, to just be confident and do my work and this way gain

05:37:46.180 --> 05:37:47.940
the win over spirit.

05:37:47.940 --> 05:37:51.580
I want to give you a little spotlight here, and if I think worse, the worst spirit, maybe

05:37:51.580 --> 05:37:52.580
the worst dunk.

05:37:52.580 --> 05:37:56.880
I mean, nothing much, but I hope it will be a good game and we win.

05:37:56.880 --> 05:37:59.880
Alright, not so spicy, but that's completely alright.

05:37:59.880 --> 05:38:01.380
Let's see how it goes on the server.

05:38:02.380 --> 05:38:04.380
Yeah, I mean, excited to get into this one, right?

05:38:04.380 --> 05:38:10.080
We race him as well up against Nia here in a little head-to-head, just to kind of give you guys an idea.

05:38:10.080 --> 05:38:14.380
And, you know, the spirit conversation immediately springs to mind.

05:38:14.380 --> 05:38:18.480
I think it's a very, very interesting one at the moment in the way that, you know,

05:38:18.480 --> 05:38:19.980
Donk is obviously still effective.

05:38:19.980 --> 05:38:21.980
He talks about like an injection of firepower and stuff.

05:38:21.980 --> 05:38:30.980
I think they definitely have had that since the changes, but it also feels especially with chopper leaving that they've lost some discipline structure and whatnot.

05:38:30.980 --> 05:38:35.320
And I think they're kind of playing a style that's like a few almost, you know what I mean?

05:38:35.320 --> 05:38:44.620
It's like, we're better. We've got all these great fraggers and we've got the greatest fragger in theory, at least given the history of Don Cripe, maybe not into this year.

05:38:45.180 --> 05:38:51.280
And I think that they've just lost a bit of identity and, yeah, the structure of the team seems to be breaking apart.

05:38:51.280 --> 05:38:56.840
Of course, I am fit to near as well. I mean, this tournament started quite well for him, right against liquid. He looked really, really solid.

05:38:56.840 --> 05:39:05.080
But I guess it's sort of an easy game to look solid against quite a weak liquid, but against Falcons, he offered absolutely nothing, 0.4 rating for him in that one.

05:39:05.080 --> 05:39:14.440
So it's interesting as we get live in this one, high stakes for this matchup. And I'm really excited to see what we can get going.

05:39:14.440 --> 05:39:16.280
Nuts. First contact.

05:39:17.000 --> 05:39:18.440
Here's him. He's spossed the shoulder.

05:39:18.440 --> 05:39:19.760
We can't really do anything.

05:39:19.760 --> 05:39:21.960
The Magix isn't forced off balcony.

05:39:23.600 --> 05:39:25.600
Yeah, I think a cheeky angle from him, really.

05:39:26.320 --> 05:39:27.000
On that.

05:39:27.600 --> 05:39:28.960
Sideways.

05:39:29.160 --> 05:39:30.120
Peripheral angle.

05:39:31.360 --> 05:39:32.560
Smoke going to go down as well.

05:39:32.560 --> 05:39:34.360
So really dealing with this.

05:39:35.640 --> 05:39:37.440
Quite nicely on the spirit side of things.

05:39:38.320 --> 05:39:40.000
Now just on the other side of the smoke here.

05:39:40.000 --> 05:39:40.840
Just ready here.

05:39:40.840 --> 05:39:41.680
Raring to go.

05:39:41.680 --> 05:39:42.440
On those Julees.

05:39:42.440 --> 05:39:43.760
Flash is a bit dodgy.

05:39:43.760 --> 05:39:45.440
Oh, that's the CT plant.

05:39:45.440 --> 05:39:47.360
The Magics is going to keep them coming all the same.

05:39:47.360 --> 05:39:49.360
They just cannot take him down.

05:39:49.360 --> 05:39:50.760
It's too messy over here.

05:39:50.760 --> 05:39:53.440
And the contact flash has been super effective.

05:39:53.440 --> 05:39:56.360
And it will be a flawless pistol to kick off a spirit.

05:39:56.360 --> 05:39:57.160
Really nice start.

05:39:57.160 --> 05:39:59.600
And I think, you know, there's that got one big error

05:39:59.600 --> 05:40:02.080
and issue that we speak about when you go for these B-Pops.

05:40:02.080 --> 05:40:03.000
You've got to get out, right?

05:40:03.000 --> 05:40:03.720
That's the first thing.

05:40:03.720 --> 05:40:05.520
If you get stuck in towards apartments,

05:40:05.520 --> 05:40:06.760
life becomes very, very difficult.

05:40:06.760 --> 05:40:07.800
And that's exactly what happens.

05:40:07.800 --> 05:40:09.680
Those flashes are fantastic from a spirit.

05:40:09.680 --> 05:40:11.040
They keep them locked in there.

05:40:11.040 --> 05:40:13.040
And despite being blind, Magics does really, really well

05:40:13.040 --> 05:40:13.560
with the dualies.

05:40:13.560 --> 05:40:20.120
three kills as a whole. So fantastic work from him. But for G2, that is a bit of a wake-up

05:40:20.120 --> 05:40:24.360
calling towards the opening round of your map here. Because the fact that you get nothing,

05:40:24.360 --> 05:40:27.640
can't even get a plant, can't even get a kill, and you get completely stuck.

05:40:28.520 --> 05:40:33.960
It's right beside that. I'm not here to play. It won't be a buy coming through for the T side.

05:40:33.960 --> 05:40:37.960
That makes complete sense. Rare that each of the four spies come in the T side without the bomb

05:40:37.960 --> 05:40:46.960
I don't want this one should be a little bit of a throwaway back towards be it seems on magics is there to meet them once again.

05:40:46.960 --> 05:40:51.960
It is only him. Yeah, they are on the lower weaponry make a noise.

05:40:51.960 --> 05:40:55.960
There's that rotation in from short now though.

05:40:55.960 --> 05:41:01.960
So smoke goes down good timing on it and unfortunately the contact block idea has been bailed upon.

05:41:01.960 --> 05:41:05.960
So G2 gonna make us wait for the action in this round.

05:41:05.960 --> 05:41:12.360
have some palace here. Nurtz. Oh, knife in hand. Shira was turned around for a moment.

05:41:12.360 --> 05:41:17.280
I mean, weird little exchange over there. They're now going to high tail it with that

05:41:17.280 --> 05:41:22.520
deep palace information back towards B. So due to a kind of all over the place at the

05:41:22.520 --> 05:41:26.480
moment, I think it's safe to say being kind of annoying, really wanting to force this

05:41:26.480 --> 05:41:31.160
bomb plant out if they can, but a re-smoke in the apartment. So I think you kind of

05:41:31.160 --> 05:41:35.480
just have to send it here guys and face the facts that the full eco is not going to work

05:41:35.480 --> 05:41:39.640
for you. It's good timing on that re-smoke as well. Just to keep that to our 42nd mark.

05:41:39.640 --> 05:41:44.520
It is really labored from Magix. He will forward an 8 or see off some price to the very least.

05:41:44.520 --> 05:41:48.360
Azontics gets a second, makes out a third for him as well. Tack will deliver with one. The

05:41:48.360 --> 05:41:53.640
question is, can he get a pawn? The answer is very swiftly no. So a couple of consolation kills.

05:41:53.640 --> 05:41:58.600
That'll be that. I guess you're not really expecting anything in that round. You're not too upset with

05:41:58.600 --> 05:42:02.680
it. Here's the real test. And you know, we kind of like to call this sort of first gun round,

05:42:02.680 --> 05:42:07.720
the real litmus test of really what's going on. And this is it for G2. We don't know kind of how

05:42:07.720 --> 05:42:12.120
deep this is going to go for this island. Obviously, a pretty tough run or things since it is already,

05:42:12.920 --> 05:42:17.800
but can they compete in the firepower? T-Side of Mirage, this is a chance to really

05:42:17.800 --> 05:42:24.760
flex the muscles and be able to lose with it. Early-mid utility comes out here. Something to

05:42:24.760 --> 05:42:33.360
rush. Just in kind of top mid as well trickles down, which also affects the rush. So I think

05:42:33.360 --> 05:42:37.920
they're really expecting some aggressive movement from spirit in the early stages.

05:42:37.920 --> 05:42:43.440
Not quite the case. You can see as well the two players at top mid quote unquote for GT

05:42:43.440 --> 05:42:47.560
were actually quite far away. Yeah, from the conventional spots. They're really expecting

05:42:47.560 --> 05:42:54.080
spirit to get in their face, which might be the case, but a little later into the round.

05:42:54.080 --> 05:43:05.260
All eerily quiet. Deep smoke there from Magix. As they were looking tempted to look towards

05:43:05.260 --> 05:43:10.720
B once again, last two times having exactly been successful. This time they've got the

05:43:10.720 --> 05:43:14.680
rifles on the util behind it. There's resmokes in towards mid, they'll be stuck for now.

05:43:14.680 --> 05:43:19.120
Looks like Tak will be taking first contact in a second, but it's Donk on the other side.

05:43:19.120 --> 05:43:26.520
We smoke into the top window, he'll just join up with Shira who gets a tag onto Matty's, but it's not enough for the kill.

05:43:26.520 --> 05:43:28.520
Donk and Shira combine well.

05:43:28.520 --> 05:43:31.520
There's nerds and Matty's the first to fall and they can fall back to site.

05:43:31.520 --> 05:43:33.120
Yeah, really good stuff.

05:43:33.120 --> 05:43:40.720
Spirit, playing confidently but not playing kind of stupid as it were, which I think was a bit of a fine line.

05:43:40.720 --> 05:43:44.120
Some players find themselves to be the only one left here.

05:43:44.120 --> 05:43:46.320
And even with the info, you can't get anything done.

05:43:46.320 --> 05:43:52.760
It's incredibly clean from spirit like I say forward-facing but not early on in the round not predictably

05:43:53.440 --> 05:43:56.120
Just nice open angles working together

05:43:57.520 --> 05:44:03.860
G2 really did not have an answer G2 were expecting the aggression. Yeah, it never came and there's the thing right now

05:44:04.560 --> 05:44:06.560
Spirit and not being made to sweat really

05:44:07.600 --> 05:44:12.120
They're very simple very basic set ups and they're working really really well and there's no complaints

05:44:12.120 --> 05:44:19.120
The bomb plant. Nothing to fall back on for G2s, they have to go for another half-bite.

05:44:19.120 --> 05:44:23.120
Pretty simply should be the fourth on the board, fourth spirit.

05:44:23.120 --> 05:44:26.120
You want to make sure again that if you can deny that bomb plant, that'll be nice, just

05:44:26.120 --> 05:44:28.120
a nice little consistent thing to have.

05:44:28.120 --> 05:44:32.120
Even though you know for sure that G2 will be buying in towards the next, but a nice

05:44:32.120 --> 05:44:34.120
nade to open up proceedings.

05:44:34.120 --> 05:44:38.120
Taktak to blow, Nurtz will take a tag, he himself is a deagle!

05:44:38.120 --> 05:44:44.600
Spamming away can't find it tonight. We'll get one before he's traded. Yeah, I mean the trade is still decent in and of itself

05:44:45.200 --> 05:44:47.840
They store up shots. He just kind of ducks under the bullet there

05:44:48.840 --> 05:44:50.840
I was slightly concerned

05:44:51.680 --> 05:44:57.880
About the state of the a bomb site say left if we could open the early stages M4 to tempting

05:44:58.520 --> 05:45:01.840
Don't start moving forwards here to try his best some pious

05:45:02.400 --> 05:45:06.000
The deagle looking for a couple of heads and he was close on that second not quite there

05:45:06.000 --> 05:45:08.000
it's still definitely doable.

05:45:08.000 --> 05:45:13.760
Maybe not so much now as tactic gets us back stabbed and they seem quietly aware of the fact that one had made it open to

05:45:14.160 --> 05:45:17.040
Connector window that sort of area. Yeah, and indeed they do

05:45:17.680 --> 05:45:19.680
hold it together

05:45:20.080 --> 05:45:20.800
A little bit better

05:45:20.800 --> 05:45:24.480
I guess from g2 that we get on towards the site itself and we have a bit of movement there

05:45:24.480 --> 05:45:27.600
But this has been a poor start from them on their map pick right?

05:45:27.600 --> 05:45:30.960
They've got to set the tone here really in the series on mirage

05:45:30.960 --> 05:45:35.360
Obviously it's one of those maps that we always talk about everybody knows everybody loves you don't see that much new on it

05:45:35.360 --> 05:45:39.400
So because of it comes down to how well as a team plan, you know coming through here

05:45:39.400 --> 05:45:44.140
What's the prep being looking like in towards a side like spirit and ultimately do we have the individuals online?

05:45:44.140 --> 05:45:47.920
And I think that's the key issue at the moment for G2. We're just not looking very sharp

05:45:48.040 --> 05:45:52.960
You know, we were saying the praises of heavy guard obviously got this new man on nerds as well in towards the silent

05:45:52.960 --> 05:45:57.880
There's a lot of people you can fall back on in terms of who can really give you a lot of space bring you a lot of kills

05:45:57.880 --> 05:46:00.720
We're not seeing any of that now. So second chance at this fall by

05:46:00.720 --> 05:46:07.560
For this side, it really has to be quite stellar. I think to start convincing us that they're going to have a chance in this series

05:46:08.880 --> 05:46:13.200
As much as G2 have had moments of brilliance in this tournament this far

05:46:13.440 --> 05:46:15.440
They're still coming as underdogs here

05:46:15.440 --> 05:46:18.920
I mean primarily just the base off the stand-in alone to be honest even without that

05:46:19.840 --> 05:46:21.840
I'll give you two

05:46:21.840 --> 05:46:32.000
They've sort of made usage here as the previous rifle rounds.

05:46:32.000 --> 05:46:34.720
G2 the approach, not much different.

05:46:34.720 --> 05:46:42.040
However, they start to move up a lot earlier than they did, both towards top boxes and

05:46:42.040 --> 05:46:44.880
in the underpass where we've got nerds.

05:46:44.880 --> 05:46:50.840
Seems like it will be an A-split in the end, just in case of where the kills come in.

05:46:50.840 --> 05:46:56.320
utility game at the moment. Try and bait a peek out, try and bait some information out,

05:46:56.320 --> 05:47:01.080
but it's just not really coming. However, it is somewhat tactical in the sense that

05:47:01.080 --> 05:47:05.680
it's just a real lack of utility left for the CT side. I think that's an unfortunate

05:47:05.680 --> 05:47:10.440
timing spam. Onto heavy guns, optics hanging around here, finds information, does get aggressive

05:47:10.440 --> 05:47:15.040
and loses his head. Donk maybe has enough to work with to hold the line to the end.

05:47:15.040 --> 05:47:19.960
Meanwhile, yeah, figures it out that they were indeed bumping in the smoke. It's going

05:47:19.960 --> 05:47:25.640
be down to just two now for the G2 side of things. Matty's is low and it is just not happening.

05:47:25.640 --> 05:47:31.320
Absolutely being played off the server at the moment. Nice find in isolation. He does

05:47:31.320 --> 05:47:35.880
have the ball. He's got three more to get through and the AWP is right around the corner

05:47:35.880 --> 05:47:36.880
already waiting for him.

05:47:36.880 --> 05:47:41.080
It's just another one that's just too easy. Again, right? They're not being made to sweat,

05:47:41.080 --> 05:47:44.600
not being made to work at the moment. Spirit, they're more than happy just to sit on the

05:47:44.600 --> 05:47:48.280
side. They don't even need to get kind of too proactive. You know, we're seeing a little

05:47:48.280 --> 05:47:52.180
of loose mid control playing around like you to get you spoke up but they're not

05:47:52.180 --> 05:47:55.820
swinging forward there and taking this on us they're just waiting for G2 to one

05:47:55.820 --> 05:47:59.500
by one walk into them and they're winning our aim deals every 50-50 more or less is

05:47:59.500 --> 05:48:03.460
going the way I spur it and this is making life so simple for them on this

05:48:03.460 --> 05:48:10.200
CT side it's a real concern for G2 and even more so as well you call the time

05:48:10.200 --> 05:48:13.920
out you bring Soren towards play and have him have a little conversation of

05:48:13.920 --> 05:48:17.480
what about it seems so far where the gaps and nothing changes it's exactly the

05:48:17.480 --> 05:48:21.280
the same sort of ramp. This is

05:48:21.380 --> 05:48:23.280
a little better. Nerds will

05:48:23.380 --> 05:48:25.280
open up with a double D eagle

05:48:25.380 --> 05:48:27.280
is don't go hit the deck. So

05:48:27.380 --> 05:48:29.280
numbers favor G2 here despite

05:48:29.380 --> 05:48:31.280
being on the lesser by. Yeah,

05:48:31.380 --> 05:48:33.280
I mean, getting the individuality

05:48:33.380 --> 05:48:36.280
going playing much more aggressive.

05:48:36.380 --> 05:48:38.380
It's good to see and definitely

05:48:38.480 --> 05:48:39.880
what they needed to inject into

05:48:39.980 --> 05:48:41.380
the game, whether it ends up

05:48:41.480 --> 05:48:42.380
winning a round or not. I think

05:48:42.480 --> 05:48:44.380
just need to. Knock some

05:48:44.480 --> 05:48:46.380
confidence out of spirit. If

05:48:46.380 --> 05:48:51.820
All based on the timing, two of them with eight in hand, it's rough, but it still works!

05:48:51.820 --> 05:48:56.780
And the final bullet, it would seem the gods of CS really want Spirit to be winning this one.

05:48:56.780 --> 05:48:57.660
He's so lucky.

05:48:57.660 --> 05:48:58.860
That is insane.

05:48:58.860 --> 05:49:01.340
Heavy God, all alone, clean.

05:49:02.060 --> 05:49:03.500
A couple more of those, maybe on the cards.

05:49:03.500 --> 05:49:05.340
Hey, 50 seconds, mate, don't cut them out.

05:49:05.340 --> 05:49:06.540
They actually might be life in this.

05:49:08.540 --> 05:49:09.020
No, no.

05:49:09.020 --> 05:49:10.940
Oh, I was gonna say, he's gonna be seen.

05:49:10.940 --> 05:49:15.820
He gets the bomb, tried to move through it, and that just wasn't the right option.

05:49:15.820 --> 05:49:23.420
I don't know tough tough to call in that particular situation, but of course it is to near right time right place by just half a second

05:49:23.420 --> 05:49:29.060
Yeah, they were watching him and then they were like right. We've got to get the utility out the start of it was really ugly

05:49:29.060 --> 05:49:30.620
Yeah, you know

05:49:30.620 --> 05:49:32.420
spraying and praying but

05:49:32.420 --> 05:49:35.700
That's a reaction we had when that little comes through. How's it got away with that?

05:49:36.140 --> 05:49:37.820
valid

05:49:37.820 --> 05:49:42.180
Totally valid second time out and again like just such an asses to

05:49:42.180 --> 05:49:47.180
So it's like the rounds are

05:49:47.180 --> 05:49:49.180
moving faster than you might

05:49:49.180 --> 05:49:51.180
expect. Yeah, this high stakes

05:49:51.180 --> 05:49:53.180
high level game, you know, so

05:49:53.180 --> 05:49:54.180
we say that while that is

05:49:54.180 --> 05:49:55.180
because we're not getting any

05:49:55.180 --> 05:49:57.180
post plants. So yeah, that's

05:49:57.180 --> 05:49:59.180
the game. It's like a small

05:49:59.180 --> 05:50:00.180
silver lining nuts. Nice couple

05:50:00.180 --> 05:50:02.180
of shots again. A bit of

05:50:02.180 --> 05:50:04.180
space and towards a but. Nothing

05:50:04.180 --> 05:50:06.180
that's really making us feel

05:50:06.180 --> 05:50:07.180
convinced at the moment. Yeah I

05:50:07.180 --> 05:50:08.180
mean, the game's gone super

05:50:08.180 --> 05:50:09.180
quick as well. We've only been

05:50:09.180 --> 05:50:10.180
here about 10 minutes. Yeah

05:50:10.180 --> 05:50:17.700
any post plant so that's the the long shot of it we can't even get a plant at the moment.

05:50:17.700 --> 05:50:21.940
Some players low pick up the seedings, he's out the head to head against Shiro, they're

05:50:21.940 --> 05:50:28.700
waited for half a second just for that window smoke, a fight to come through first and an

05:50:28.700 --> 05:50:34.500
opening kill to fall back on 4G2 in a full gun round. At this point we'll take any post

05:50:34.500 --> 05:50:37.380
this fight, do you like this move there? Nerds just want that's right, it's the second that

05:50:37.380 --> 05:50:46.080
you'll find Donk. Nurtz. Another double from him this time with the rifles behind it in a two versus four. Surely. First round on the board for G2.

05:50:46.080 --> 05:50:46.580
Yep.

05:50:47.080 --> 05:50:54.080
Get the gamers activated, man. Give them some more freedom and I think a lot of what's talked about there is just getting proactive.

05:50:54.080 --> 05:50:54.580
Yeah.

05:50:56.080 --> 05:50:56.880
Playing...

05:50:58.280 --> 05:51:06.080
...aggressive. And I think playing as though it's any other team. You know, don't be worried about spirit. Don't be worried about the presence of Donk and an informed Tineer.

05:51:07.040 --> 05:51:10.080
However, things are getting a little bit closer.

05:51:10.080 --> 05:51:13.600
Certainly closer than they would have wanted, but they still managed to get the round.

05:51:13.600 --> 05:51:16.880
And at this point in the scoreline, that is all that matters.

05:51:16.880 --> 05:51:22.600
So, it's now time to string them together, it's now time to build up that confidence.

05:51:22.600 --> 05:51:28.640
Comes off the back of a timing pick, and then the reaction to the reaction, ultimately,

05:51:28.640 --> 05:51:33.240
if Spirit can maybe nullify that, it does take quite a lot away from G2's wincom, there.

05:51:33.240 --> 05:51:35.480
Yeah, you're absolutely right.

05:51:35.480 --> 05:51:40.000
First on the board and now that round number seven needs to be used as a bit of a catalyst

05:51:40.000 --> 05:51:44.120
We have to start building up something to fall back on for G2 all start

05:51:44.120 --> 05:51:50.080
The worst possible thing as well off the back of finally getting around on the board is just get immediate dumpster into the follow-up

05:51:50.440 --> 05:51:54.220
You can't find consistency this maps can be over before even really begins

05:51:58.600 --> 05:52:00.160
Control taken

05:52:00.160 --> 05:52:02.840
Technically both sides top mid and control by the T side

05:52:02.840 --> 05:52:07.480
But because of Shira's movie as coverage towards Undale took back into those corners that smoke will fade

05:52:08.480 --> 05:52:12.320
They probably have a sneaking suspicion. There's one lurking around the boxes, but

05:52:13.200 --> 05:52:15.200
You can leave them there for now

05:52:17.760 --> 05:52:19.760
He's in a damage

05:52:21.080 --> 05:52:26.840
Feel like there's just not as many opportunities to find pics Molly goes in nerds though has avoided it

05:52:26.840 --> 05:52:31.120
And there's no flash for this move. He's playing auntie. They're gonna walk in next to him

05:52:31.120 --> 05:52:33.960
I'm gonna say we're seen a worried about in there for a moment

05:52:34.360 --> 05:52:39.500
Don't cut clothes trying to keep them a bay calling flash and some assistance. It's perfect

05:52:40.480 --> 05:52:43.760
Absolutely brilliant finds and that's what he does of course

05:52:44.620 --> 05:52:48.160
That's the one factor you're gonna have to deal with all series long

05:52:49.120 --> 05:52:51.120
an advantage to the CT side

05:52:51.280 --> 05:52:53.940
Be bomb site that finds itself open

05:52:54.760 --> 05:53:00.000
That is head on a swivel here checks out for one. He might be able to get a bit more as well

05:53:00.000 --> 05:53:10.640
Well, suddenly it's even suddenly there is space for that bomb, but there's not loads of time for the bomb. This is the key thing. Can we jump in here? Can we deny it? Maybe that's what they're looking to try and do.

05:53:10.880 --> 05:53:17.860
Magix goes down and surely has to be a 4v3 conversion. I don't think Shira on the Orp, Donk on the 28 HP want to go for this.

05:53:18.060 --> 05:53:24.900
No, I think you're right. I think it's mostly considering that Shira's been spotted. Some pirates in the pop shop, but I think he had the shoulder just through the shelves.

05:53:24.900 --> 05:53:31.500
Yeah, they're not giving us one look the whole for exits and I'd be as good as it gets. I say they sure will

05:53:32.900 --> 05:53:35.900
He knows you got a window. It's gonna fall away alive

05:53:37.620 --> 05:53:40.740
G2 put a second on the board with a hit towards Pete

05:53:42.780 --> 05:53:44.780
Sure, I can't find anything on the tail end

05:53:46.820 --> 05:53:51.620
Please stay alive for G2 this is gonna give them something to fall back on at the very least

05:53:51.620 --> 05:53:58.060
I think it's a bit of a waste.

05:53:58.980 --> 05:54:02.560
Speaking about how nice it started and having to burn a couple of time off to really get this out activated is.

05:54:02.560 --> 05:54:06.800
Ultimately, not a good sign, but that's a good round in isolation.

05:54:06.800 --> 05:54:11.920
It starts pretty poorly. The A here gets shot down and they still recover from it as well.

05:54:11.920 --> 05:54:16.380
This just proves to them that we can contend in, that we can have a little bit of something.

05:54:16.380 --> 05:54:20.420
I think when on that t-side when you're able to give yourself like a

05:54:22.140 --> 05:54:23.860
solidly

05:54:23.860 --> 05:54:31.380
Advantageous position in terms of like the map control and the flow of the round and then you can actually use it

05:54:31.660 --> 05:54:34.620
That is a very good sign. Yeah, they might have been a man down

05:54:34.620 --> 05:54:40.940
But Matty's had an ascendant position in terms of like there's no one here. We can get the bomb down

05:54:40.940 --> 05:54:45.080
I can control things I could maybe find a kill from it and all these potential

05:54:45.600 --> 05:54:52.540
positives like came through which I think is the key thing that they're able to convert that then things might have fallen flat because of

05:54:52.580 --> 05:54:59.500
The man advantage, but you sort of evened it up very quickly by having that control and by him finding that kill and

05:55:00.340 --> 05:55:05.660
Suddenly the 3v3 looks even for actually you get like an immediate boost

05:55:05.660 --> 05:55:08.680
You know what I mean? You're like 50% ahead off the back of one kill

05:55:10.940 --> 05:55:14.940
It's time a little more of a passive control in towards mid by spirit.

05:55:14.940 --> 05:55:18.940
Let me somewhat reluctantly, but they'll give it that control for now.

05:55:18.940 --> 05:55:22.940
Wait to see what the action is from G2.

05:55:22.940 --> 05:55:28.940
Bomb not committed, but probably scooped up as they're going to join back towards the A site, all five, in this direction.

05:55:28.940 --> 05:55:32.940
Going to Palace player heavy got it, but I have to get the support of Nerds as well.

05:55:32.940 --> 05:55:38.940
It's going to be a simple dive out here.

05:55:38.940 --> 05:55:44.540
The Oncons sure are the first lines of defense and you got to near just round the corner.

05:55:44.540 --> 05:55:45.940
Quick rotation is on ticks.

05:55:45.940 --> 05:55:47.740
Still make this an absolute bloodbath.

05:55:47.740 --> 05:55:50.040
So GT have to be really clean on their entries.

05:55:50.040 --> 05:55:50.540
Yeah.

05:55:51.740 --> 05:55:52.240
AID.

05:55:53.040 --> 05:55:54.340
Didn't quite find anything just yet.

05:55:54.340 --> 05:55:58.240
Timing's on two off, but they will move in a bit later than he was expecting.

05:55:58.240 --> 05:56:01.640
There's another Nade with Donk's name on it, by the way, in that same position.

05:56:01.640 --> 05:56:03.640
The Opts to break things open.

05:56:03.640 --> 05:56:05.140
Try and find a fight.

05:56:06.140 --> 05:56:07.240
Just not one appearing.

05:56:07.240 --> 05:56:08.640
They've lost control of the Ape on site.

05:56:08.640 --> 05:56:24.200
itself. What should come in? It's all a question of whether they can get in on that retake first fully fledged retake of the map so far as well, by the way. So feeling pretty damn good here. And spirit looking to test the defenses of G two now donks spotted.

05:56:24.200 --> 05:56:27.900
It's a little up to drop back.

05:56:27.900 --> 05:56:30.300
He takes a tag and is finished off.

05:56:30.300 --> 05:56:31.820
I think just totally trapped in.

05:56:31.820 --> 05:56:33.460
Can they work around him?

05:56:33.460 --> 05:56:35.140
There's one more kit remaining for Zontics.

05:56:35.140 --> 05:56:36.260
They're really playing this slowly

05:56:36.260 --> 05:56:37.780
though on the spirit side of things.

05:56:37.780 --> 05:56:39.100
The AWP misses it shot.

05:56:39.100 --> 05:56:41.140
That's certainly lucky.

05:56:41.140 --> 05:56:42.260
Still got to break in.

05:56:42.260 --> 05:56:44.260
Still got to find the defuse.

05:56:44.260 --> 05:56:46.020
Ultimately, they don't have like a smoke on it.

05:56:46.020 --> 05:56:47.300
So it's all going to come down to the kills

05:56:47.300 --> 05:56:49.660
and heavy God finds two.

05:56:49.660 --> 05:56:51.420
Zontics will get on it, you know.

05:56:51.420 --> 05:56:54.140
Molly comes in and it's heavy God that finishes them off.

05:56:54.140 --> 05:56:59.480
It felt closer. It felt like they were peeking a bit later than you'd like, but they still managed to get it done.

05:56:59.680 --> 05:57:03.560
I think it's in the end there as well. The trades and spirits, the poor, right, ultimately.

05:57:03.560 --> 05:57:07.160
And I think that's put you in a pretty tough spot.

05:57:07.160 --> 05:57:09.800
I think for G2, you've got to commend them for that post-plant.

05:57:10.100 --> 05:57:13.200
They wait for as long as they can before they have to fight.

05:57:14.100 --> 05:57:17.440
And they have a couple of feelers holding these angles, but they haven't got a place so long.

05:57:17.440 --> 05:57:20.640
They've just got to wait by this time. Bomb planted for him.

05:57:21.600 --> 05:57:23.480
That's a huge one. You can see what it means for G2.

05:57:24.140 --> 05:57:30.620
It will break the finances over towards spirit. So a third on the board for this T side should naturally move into a fourth

05:57:32.300 --> 05:57:38.180
Yeah, I mean it's the second time out really that seems to be massive here seems to have made the difference the first one didn't really resonate

05:57:38.340 --> 05:57:40.340
Maybe it was more of a tactical conversation

05:57:41.180 --> 05:57:44.620
Second one seems like it's way more mental getting everyone even

05:57:45.380 --> 05:57:47.380
building up that belief and

05:57:47.420 --> 05:57:50.500
So far it's done very very well to near the only ones who have found a kill here

05:57:50.500 --> 05:57:54.200
This is also a good sign insanely quick insanely effective

05:57:55.060 --> 05:57:58.920
And ultimately very very clean on the Pansy eco

05:57:59.500 --> 05:58:03.140
There's a punch gets in the way and he will go down. So just a one kill

05:58:04.520 --> 05:58:08.700
Really building momentum to even things up before the half. Yeah, it's a great round to have

05:58:09.220 --> 05:58:15.920
Making sure that those easy ones are well fundamentally easy, you know, sometimes when they're a bit of work to get them over the line

05:58:15.920 --> 05:58:19.780
I guess the half buys it's a bit of an indictment and just how shaky things are

05:58:20.500 --> 05:58:22.100
That'll show things up though for G2.

05:58:23.300 --> 05:58:26.400
The Spirit from Solid Stars, six rounds out the gate.

05:58:28.300 --> 05:58:30.400
They've led this lead slip. It's a two round game now,

05:58:30.400 --> 05:58:33.600
and absolutely recoverable for G2, especially in this current form.

05:58:34.700 --> 05:58:36.000
It's the final two rounds of play.

05:58:37.900 --> 05:58:39.800
You feel like a Spirit, you've got to get at least one of them.

05:58:39.800 --> 05:58:42.700
Just guarantee, with a six nil star, you've got to be guaranteeing a lead by the half.

05:58:43.800 --> 05:58:45.100
Yeah, yeah, for sure.

05:58:46.100 --> 05:58:48.100
You will be kicking yourself if you're not able to get there.

05:58:48.100 --> 05:58:54.340
Donk really wants to get there as well, taking some aggressive heads-up fights, nearly wins

05:58:54.340 --> 05:58:59.400
two of them. It's the AWP as well that backs him up, the dynamic duo crunching in towards

05:58:59.400 --> 05:59:07.220
middle heavy god, attempting to find a play with things being against him very, very quickly.

05:59:07.220 --> 05:59:13.460
Just a slight change up in the approach from Spirit has potentially netted them that key

05:59:13.460 --> 05:59:17.440
seven that you were talking about. Just going to be some pious remaining here, one versus

05:59:17.440 --> 05:59:22.840
They know about him. Yeah flank on the way. He's not staying alive. He's got a minute. Yeah for sure

05:59:22.840 --> 05:59:25.360
But it could get a little frisky. They're kind of split. Yeah

05:59:27.000 --> 05:59:30.080
Ajax will hold though. Thankfully I thought he was gonna get excited

05:59:31.280 --> 05:59:33.760
Go peeking in and give him those isolated 1v1s

05:59:37.280 --> 05:59:41.040
I'm over here 40 seconds surely impossible

05:59:41.040 --> 05:59:44.040
I'm not sure if he's going to

05:59:44.040 --> 05:59:47.040
be able to do that, but he's

05:59:47.040 --> 05:59:51.040
going to be able to do that.

05:59:51.040 --> 05:59:53.040
Scoop it up as he moves on past

05:59:53.040 --> 05:59:54.040
TV room rather than in towards

05:59:54.040 --> 05:59:56.040
it, but. If anything, that might

05:59:56.040 --> 05:59:59.040
work against him. That scope

05:59:59.040 --> 06:00:01.040
surely heard. Magics might know

06:00:01.040 --> 06:00:03.040
what up some higher set spotted

06:00:03.040 --> 06:00:05.040
magics patients will pay off for

06:00:05.040 --> 06:00:07.040
him. Not that round on the ball

06:00:07.040 --> 06:00:09.040
for spirit. I think I'm right

06:00:09.040 --> 06:00:13.240
three in the first half. The first two on the Thunderbolt, but we already got one more round

06:00:13.240 --> 06:00:18.040
to play that, kind of saw it can have an effect on. A bold choice not to save it for that second

06:00:18.040 --> 06:00:21.320
half when it might be actually a little bit more useful for more than just the one round.

06:00:21.320 --> 06:00:26.880
Yeah, sure. I think it's just like pure course correction. Yeah. And I guess also, if you're

06:00:26.880 --> 06:00:31.840
looking at this, you're saying eight four with then ask, kind of moving on towards our CT

06:00:31.840 --> 06:00:36.400
side, like maybe we need the fifth. I don't have any, any chance in our mind just for

06:00:36.400 --> 06:00:41.600
confidence sakes. No, it is true. I think we have a pretty strong CT sided team here,

06:00:41.600 --> 06:00:47.240
though, honestly. I think also a lot more belief in their CT side trying to give themselves

06:00:47.240 --> 06:00:55.240
as much of an advantage as you would. But yeah, the three timeouts in one half is not

06:00:55.240 --> 06:01:02.840
completely unheard of, but it's certainly an orthodox. I think if things spiral in that

06:01:02.840 --> 06:01:06.460
second half, you know, you lose the pistol, you lose the first rifle, kind of just screwed.

06:01:06.460 --> 06:01:10.200
I mean, small line wise and the fact that you just won't be able to hit that course

06:01:10.200 --> 06:01:11.800
correct, like I say.

06:01:11.800 --> 06:01:17.040
So it's a lot of chips into this first half and then a lot of belief in just the general

06:01:17.040 --> 06:01:18.880
effectiveness of their CT defense.

06:01:18.880 --> 06:01:23.680
Let's put it this way, you know, with how much you've kind of invested in towards this round

06:01:23.680 --> 06:01:27.880
outside of like the buy itself, but obviously with that third and final time out, you better

06:01:27.880 --> 06:01:28.880
win it.

06:01:28.880 --> 06:01:32.080
If you don't, that's going to really knock the confidence.

06:01:32.080 --> 06:01:36.480
going to re-aggress here. He knows there was a jiggle peeking between himself and TAC.

06:01:36.480 --> 06:01:41.200
You'll hold, you'll wait, can't find the flick and TAC is very lucky to still be alive.

06:01:43.040 --> 06:01:45.280
Very rare that we talk about sure missing shots like that.

06:01:48.400 --> 06:01:52.480
True. Lighting going into the underpass.

06:01:54.720 --> 06:02:00.800
Mid control comes round. 4G2 here and certainly curious what they are up to do with it. Usually

06:02:00.800 --> 06:02:04.600
There's a there's a fight. They know there's a fight. I'm not normally given this much room

06:02:05.680 --> 06:02:08.760
I'm back flashed on the edge of the smoke watching for like a

06:02:10.800 --> 06:02:14.720
He himself somehow is able to get away with that. I

06:02:15.320 --> 06:02:18.720
Don't I thought he'd just surely get seen but that is crazy

06:02:19.440 --> 06:02:24.320
In a sense of timing of course as that smoke goes down massive to be coming in shiro

06:02:24.840 --> 06:02:29.620
Has missed some shots here, but maybe enough work being done by the rest of the team to hold this round

06:03:59.620 --> 06:04:01.620
I

06:05:29.620 --> 06:05:31.620
Oh

06:05:59.620 --> 06:06:08.620
Despite using all three timeouts in that first half of G2, four rounds is all they can get in the first half of their map picks.

06:06:08.620 --> 06:06:13.620
So potentially some concerning times for G2, that is for damn sure, Spirit.

06:06:13.620 --> 06:06:17.620
But I'm not looking completely clean, still cleaner, and that's really all that matters.

06:06:17.620 --> 06:06:20.620
Yeah, no, I think a very, very big deal for Spirit.

06:06:20.620 --> 06:06:25.620
G2 just could not really get a foothold in that first half.

06:06:25.620 --> 06:06:32.380
I think some decent rounds, but it just felt like Spirit are ready for them to be contacting ready to take a lot of the fights

06:06:32.380 --> 06:06:36.680
Yeah, and looking very very sharp as you would expect from some of them. I mean ten years 16 and 7

06:06:36.680 --> 06:06:38.300
You know, this is a guy

06:06:38.300 --> 06:06:43.580
The has maybe been freed up in the new iteration of spirits

06:06:44.220 --> 06:06:46.220
Matty's nearly

06:06:46.500 --> 06:06:50.940
Stopping them in their tracks, but not quite the banana. Sorry the B apps. I don't know. I'm saying

06:06:50.940 --> 06:06:55.940
on the top of the top. Yeah,

06:06:55.940 --> 06:06:56.940
really, really quite clean.

06:06:56.940 --> 06:06:58.940
And he wants more fights, though,

06:06:58.940 --> 06:07:00.940
and the bomb has not been planted.

06:07:00.940 --> 06:07:02.940
He is kind of bailed out.

06:07:02.940 --> 06:07:03.940
It's left in the one versus three

06:07:03.940 --> 06:07:06.940
now, which is always impossible.

06:07:06.940 --> 06:07:07.940
He's got armor.

06:07:07.940 --> 06:07:09.940
That's a nice side note to have it,

06:07:09.940 --> 06:07:11.940
but no kit, no utility, no chance

06:07:11.940 --> 06:07:13.940
and now he'll have to hit some

06:07:13.940 --> 06:07:14.940
ridiculous shots.

06:07:14.940 --> 06:07:15.940
And it's magic who bells them out

06:07:15.940 --> 06:07:16.940
of both of them as well.

06:07:16.940 --> 06:07:17.940
First kill in particular,

06:07:17.940 --> 06:07:19.940
he gets going to move

06:07:19.940 --> 06:07:24.300
moving through apartments, massively, massively important just to give them space to plant

06:07:24.300 --> 06:07:29.740
and then of course the one to close it out but it's dire times for G2, it may seem still

06:07:29.740 --> 06:07:31.500
quite early in towards this game.

06:07:31.500 --> 06:07:36.780
You're 9-4 down, you don't bring a lot to the table here, you can potentially force

06:07:36.780 --> 06:07:39.660
by them which is actually what they're going to go for but because they don't really get

06:07:39.660 --> 06:07:44.460
that many kills they can't bring really anything that's super scary but a scout out for some

06:07:44.460 --> 06:07:49.580
Pyres will be looking okay and TAC are standing with an MP9.

06:07:52.220 --> 06:07:57.940
It is potentially, as we say, a non-starter here for G2 if things continue on the way that they're going.

06:07:58.380 --> 06:08:01.420
TAC though, on that automatic weapon, does find good timing.

06:08:01.700 --> 06:08:04.300
And Sun Pyres takes ahead as well as a TAC.

06:08:04.300 --> 06:08:07.900
Maybe a couple of TACs, actually, by the looks of the HP bars, they're all tagged up here.

06:08:08.580 --> 06:08:11.460
It will all find a kill, though, pretty incredible.

06:08:11.460 --> 06:08:15.400
the game. He's going to be

06:08:15.400 --> 06:08:17.400
back into a three versus two,

06:08:17.400 --> 06:08:19.400
but definitely not a winnable

06:08:19.400 --> 06:08:22.400
one just yet. It's moving in

06:08:22.400 --> 06:08:24.400
57 out. He's got the Mac 10

06:08:24.400 --> 06:08:26.400
should he need it as soon as

06:08:26.400 --> 06:08:28.400
there's any kind of peak. It's

06:08:28.400 --> 06:08:31.400
an easy find for him. That's an

06:08:31.400 --> 06:08:33.400
info trade off, though. Zontics

06:08:33.400 --> 06:08:35.400
goes early and does indeed

06:08:35.400 --> 06:08:37.400
confirmed they're both coming

06:08:37.400 --> 06:08:38.400
in from short Donk has only got

06:08:38.400 --> 06:08:39.400
that Mac. It's all going to be

06:08:39.400 --> 06:08:40.400
on Cheryl here with his

06:08:40.400 --> 06:08:44.960
Look like you have the drop but not quite and the HP makes a difference. Nurtz is one bullet away

06:08:45.360 --> 06:08:47.520
One good clean bullet away from death

06:08:47.960 --> 06:08:53.000
But all those tags from the scout saving them. Yeah, that's absolutely huge

06:08:53.000 --> 06:08:57.200
What a force by to be winning. I want a time to go round about the G2

06:08:57.200 --> 06:08:58.720
That's gonna flip the script quite a lot

06:08:58.720 --> 06:09:04.400
We were already building that narrative that time was running out and things looking quite dicey and the force by wasn't exactly

06:09:04.400 --> 06:09:12.540
But it's just how much damage like some players gets two huge tags which are then traded out and they find kills behind it

06:09:12.540 --> 06:09:14.200
It's a brilliant work

06:09:14.200 --> 06:09:17.320
Before to be sure right idea strong execution

06:09:18.160 --> 06:09:24.140
The good news is because of another bomb bar there is still a little bit residual cash to fall back on you can see it now

06:09:24.140 --> 06:09:26.140
With the double AK that come through

06:09:26.480 --> 06:09:28.480
Magic's dropping one of them. So

06:09:28.480 --> 06:09:32.200
And they can be armor with it as well.

06:09:32.200 --> 06:09:38.240
It's Nair and Donk, Lord of the AKs, both of them having fantastic maps so far.

06:09:38.240 --> 06:09:42.320
We can't count it out just yet.

06:09:42.320 --> 06:09:44.320
Shura has his moments with the Eagle too.

06:09:44.320 --> 06:09:50.120
For the same vein that we gave kind of G2, but with respect to that previous round, not

06:09:50.120 --> 06:09:52.440
going to hold off on it just yet for Spirit.

06:09:52.440 --> 06:09:57.480
They've put all the resources in the right place, having that definitely safe to say.

06:09:57.480 --> 06:10:03.880
and they got enough utility for an execute here smoke two mollies two flashes and HG

06:10:05.800 --> 06:10:07.800
Just want to kill first

06:10:08.320 --> 06:10:11.720
They nearly find it there. I love the idea of the boost above that smoke

06:10:13.200 --> 06:10:19.100
It does not happen in the other case will slowly walk away to make sure they stay alive and in the conversation

06:10:19.100 --> 06:10:21.100
So yeah, it potentially does come down

06:10:21.520 --> 06:10:23.520
as a simple

06:10:23.760 --> 06:10:25.920
Execute here the bare bones of it

06:10:25.920 --> 06:10:35.920
to go. Magic's on that line-up,

06:10:35.920 --> 06:10:37.920
ready and raring to go. Some

06:10:37.920 --> 06:10:39.920
palace presence with Zontics on

06:10:39.920 --> 06:10:40.920
his Diggle, but it's all about

06:10:40.920 --> 06:10:41.920
these a case who are again

06:10:41.920 --> 06:10:42.920
leading the charge and they're

06:10:42.920 --> 06:10:43.920
slightly ahead of things, you

06:10:43.920 --> 06:10:45.920
know, up quite quickly to try

06:10:45.920 --> 06:10:47.920
and do their job. Nice Molotov

06:10:47.920 --> 06:10:48.920
from Zontics, but it cost him

06:10:48.920 --> 06:10:50.920
his life. Don turns away from a

06:10:50.920 --> 06:10:52.920
flash. He too will fall. So

06:10:52.920 --> 06:10:53.920
today are gonna have to go

06:10:53.920 --> 06:10:59.440
late in Palace to find the trade on him. Back down to a three on three. Magic's finding an AK

06:10:59.440 --> 06:11:05.120
of his own, T'Nia waiting to burst forwards but he just does not have the HP to take the risks

06:11:05.120 --> 06:11:11.200
and they will see it off. Some slight bits of damage but it is time now for G2 to close the gap.

06:11:11.200 --> 06:11:15.200
Yeah there was a brief window there where things potentially could have opened up for spirit but

06:11:15.200 --> 06:11:19.520
nice work shooting down that A site and I think not only just shutting it down but

06:11:19.520 --> 06:11:23.280
the quick rotations over just to make sure they're the numbers right. Be able to trade effectively,

06:11:23.280 --> 06:11:29.120
You know that that by is going to be funky even if they are bringing a couple of AKs the support round is going to be dicey

06:11:29.120 --> 06:11:34.560
You have the advantage as you to they play with the confidence of having said advantage the next work

06:11:36.120 --> 06:11:38.120
We'll get broken around 16

06:11:39.240 --> 06:11:42.960
G2 they should be making this a two-round game without breaking that much of a sweat to be honest

06:11:43.200 --> 06:11:47.320
It's go hooks across the board. No armor no utility. This should be an easy one to put to bed

06:11:53.280 --> 06:11:58.200
You would assume so again the around where you look to try and force out the bomb plant

06:11:58.860 --> 06:12:01.740
As G2 did in a couple of egglock rounds

06:12:02.940 --> 06:12:07.340
Awesome feels loosely like an existence time out here. Yeah for sure time out about calling one

06:12:07.340 --> 06:12:10.100
Just show up and have a bit of a conversation on the lesser bite

06:12:10.140 --> 06:12:15.300
Yeah, and late into us around after you figured out what you want to do in towards your next gun rounds

06:12:15.420 --> 06:12:20.040
Then you dive in somewhere and hope for the best and well, it looks like they'll be diving in towards be momentarily

06:12:20.660 --> 06:12:22.660
first find for Matty's

06:12:22.660 --> 06:12:27.140
Just as that smoke was blooming and some pirates will catch the lurker in through top mid.

06:12:27.140 --> 06:12:33.660
Should be easy stuff. Matties has made noise dropping down. This might test them forward, but he's ready here to meet them.

06:12:33.660 --> 06:12:36.660
And Matties gonna find both. Donk.

06:12:36.660 --> 06:12:43.660
We'll get a trade and AK scooped up, but surely impossible. 40 seconds and a 1 vs 4 with no armour.

06:12:43.660 --> 06:12:48.660
It's always scary taking fights against him, but the MP9 will swing to see him off.

06:12:48.660 --> 06:12:51.120
off and the eco puts the rest of

06:12:51.120 --> 06:12:52.500
only the one caustic. Not too

06:12:52.500 --> 06:12:54.120
upset about that. Yeah, still

06:12:54.120 --> 06:12:55.260
comfortable still in a very good

06:12:55.260 --> 06:12:56.920
spot, but looking to continue it

06:12:56.920 --> 06:12:59.760
from here. And their lead is

06:12:59.760 --> 06:13:00.800
severely under threat, right?

06:13:00.800 --> 06:13:01.660
If they cannot get this gun

06:13:01.660 --> 06:13:03.760
round. I think we start to,

06:13:03.760 --> 06:13:04.700
especially without a bomb plant,

06:13:04.700 --> 06:13:06.660
we start to talk about G two

06:13:06.660 --> 06:13:07.760
evening things up very, very

06:13:07.760 --> 06:13:10.000
quickly. And we theorized a

06:13:10.000 --> 06:13:12.700
little that they would have a

06:13:12.700 --> 06:13:14.560
confident and perhaps in their

06:13:14.560 --> 06:13:17.360
minds, cleaner CT side seems to

06:13:17.360 --> 06:13:24.520
to be the case, despite losing out in the pistol, still able to win four spies and fight

06:13:24.520 --> 06:13:28.700
back pretty well when their backs are against the wall, at least to begin with, but this

06:13:28.700 --> 06:13:33.360
is the first proper test, you know. A lot of early utility coming out from the T side.

06:13:33.360 --> 06:13:39.680
And this reads like a G2 round. Maybe they have Donk tucked away, but they too are preferring

06:13:39.680 --> 06:13:42.120
a much more passive start into these T side rounds.

06:13:42.120 --> 06:13:43.280
Yeah, I agreed.

06:13:44.480 --> 06:13:46.480
The smoke phase in towards lower.

06:13:47.480 --> 06:13:48.560
The boost is a nice idea.

06:13:48.560 --> 06:13:50.800
I don't really think it's going to be tested.

06:13:50.800 --> 06:13:52.320
Feneer's too far forward in towards apartments,

06:13:52.320 --> 06:13:53.560
at least for now.

06:13:57.320 --> 06:13:58.440
And he's just jump-peaking.

06:13:58.440 --> 06:14:00.280
Feneer's waiting,

06:14:00.280 --> 06:14:02.720
hoping that he can catch a fortunate timing.

06:14:04.880 --> 06:14:08.200
Sort of jiggle-peaking against each other at different timings.

06:14:08.200 --> 06:14:09.520
Same idea.

06:14:09.520 --> 06:14:15.520
Under a minute, and no real movement be made by Sperma to flash in.

06:14:15.520 --> 06:14:19.520
For heaven he's gonna be good, I can't believe he don't lose to that ult, cause he wasn't actually blinded up.

06:14:19.520 --> 06:14:22.520
He just looted the raw aim build to a moving MP9.

06:14:22.520 --> 06:14:23.520
He doesn't even tag him.

06:14:23.520 --> 06:14:25.520
Yeah, wild.

06:14:25.520 --> 06:14:30.520
Taneer though, has found a lot of space on P, and Matty's called off.

06:14:30.520 --> 06:14:32.520
Taneer at range.

06:14:32.520 --> 06:14:34.520
Takes down some players.

06:14:34.520 --> 06:14:38.520
It's a little all over the place here, there's another kill towards the A side of things.

06:14:38.520 --> 06:14:45.520
of things. Ha. Okay. So we've

06:14:45.520 --> 06:14:46.520
lost the man advantage some

06:14:46.520 --> 06:14:50.520
out as by tenors insane two

06:14:50.520 --> 06:14:52.520
piece. Some mistakes from

06:14:52.520 --> 06:14:54.520
spirit for sure to allow kills

06:14:54.520 --> 06:14:56.520
to come back around for G two,

06:14:56.520 --> 06:14:59.520
but they are kept in the mud a

06:14:59.520 --> 06:15:02.520
little bit. They are so stuck

06:15:02.520 --> 06:15:04.520
in terms of this retake. All

06:15:04.520 --> 06:15:06.520
very split all very far away,

06:15:06.520 --> 06:15:10.520
I think that's all magics in my

06:15:10.520 --> 06:15:11.520
eyes just has to play as safe as

06:15:11.520 --> 06:15:12.520
possible. And I don't think you

06:15:12.520 --> 06:15:14.520
can really lose this to nail

06:15:14.520 --> 06:15:16.520
looking to do it all himself.

06:15:16.520 --> 06:15:17.520
But there's just not enough time.

06:15:17.520 --> 06:15:19.520
They have to very quickly guess.

06:15:19.520 --> 06:15:20.520
They have to fake him out. They

06:15:20.520 --> 06:15:21.520
have to take him down. They're

06:15:21.520 --> 06:15:22.520
going to smoke on the bomb. That's

06:15:22.520 --> 06:15:24.520
the round. That's all magics had

06:15:24.520 --> 06:15:27.520
to do. Maybe I speak too soon

06:15:27.520 --> 06:15:30.520
though. Oh my goodness. That is

06:15:30.520 --> 06:15:32.520
a hell of close. That is so very

06:15:32.520 --> 06:15:34.520
close. I thought it was a bit

06:15:34.520 --> 06:15:35.900
Right down to the wire.

06:15:35.900 --> 06:15:37.600
Yeah, within millimeters there.

06:15:37.600 --> 06:15:43.560
That is so unbelievably close to stealing one away and being such heartbreak.

06:15:44.440 --> 06:15:48.440
But it's fundamentally a 2 vs 3 converted, which I think is kind of the main takeaway.

06:15:48.440 --> 06:15:50.040
Matt just does really well with this first one.

06:15:50.040 --> 06:15:52.540
Look how close this gets.

06:15:54.240 --> 06:15:54.880
Gawd.

06:15:56.880 --> 06:15:57.880
Ha ha ha ha.

06:15:57.880 --> 06:15:58.380
Yeah.

06:15:58.380 --> 06:15:59.280
I don't blame him.

06:15:59.280 --> 06:16:00.080
Rightly so.

06:16:00.080 --> 06:16:02.960
Yeah, that's how we felt watching it right down to the wire.

06:16:02.960 --> 06:16:12.100
But finally around back on the board for spirit now three ahead three away from taking G2's map pick a mirage and kickstarting this series well

06:16:12.900 --> 06:16:16.640
Again similar to what we said at the halfway point. It's not exactly the cleanest kind of strike

06:16:16.640 --> 06:16:20.540
especially by their standards, but they walk away with this map intact

06:16:20.540 --> 06:16:22.540
Oh, they'll really take themselves as a winners of win

06:16:24.300 --> 06:16:26.300
Yeah, no for sure and again

06:16:27.260 --> 06:16:32.660
Just hitting heads a little bit better. It might be to near might not be don't necessarily

06:16:32.660 --> 06:16:38.780
But you know, it's kind of funny to say he's what 1511 and it's funny for us to be like

06:16:38.780 --> 06:16:41.480
I yeah, it's not a usual don't a performance

06:16:41.940 --> 06:16:46.880
Yeah expecting more. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I also would say especially in a mallet mirage

06:16:47.540 --> 06:16:52.740
It feels like a map in which you really sometimes just get the best out of him like he can just hold W. Yeah

06:16:56.020 --> 06:17:00.780
Be God waits behind that smoke again spirit like to leave this late, but

06:17:00.780 --> 06:17:08.780
Yeah, an Orthodox, and have you got playing the front side of Tetris, you'll now tuck up close left.

06:17:08.780 --> 06:17:12.780
It could be nicely placed. It will do a little bit of a tag.

06:17:12.780 --> 06:17:17.780
Body spotted, some five-thrucks for proceedings. Down goes to near, but dunk on the swing and they're fine.

06:17:17.780 --> 06:17:22.780
That's what he does best. Send him in towards the fight and see what he can come up with.

06:17:22.780 --> 06:17:27.780
One is good, sure, a quick on the trade. The A site now under serious siege is that C4 will go down.

06:17:27.780 --> 06:17:34.280
will go down. Some players can't deny it either. I know about him, too, but he nails a shot

06:17:34.280 --> 06:17:36.920
towards Donk, which will give the numbers towards G2.

06:17:36.920 --> 06:17:41.020
Yeah, I mean, sometimes this is done really well, I think, to keep them in this initial

06:17:41.020 --> 06:17:47.000
entry. The confidence to move forwards to try and find another shiro on the reposition

06:17:47.000 --> 06:17:50.460
as he feels he's been figured out, and he wouldn't be correct. He also can't guard

06:17:50.460 --> 06:17:55.540
the bomb very well from Palace. Smoke on top of the bomb, not really ideal. Magics, perhaps

06:17:55.540 --> 06:17:57.880
I'm just gonna have to go first in his kits in play

06:17:58.580 --> 06:18:02.720
He's completely off the mark. Oh, man

06:18:02.720 --> 06:18:06.800
He's just like no he does manage to find him second time of asking and again

06:18:06.800 --> 06:18:10.080
I think is maybe just bought enough time even with the kits and

06:18:10.640 --> 06:18:14.280
Sun pliers goes down to the bottom to add insults to injury

06:18:14.820 --> 06:18:18.640
That is tough magic stank Leon on a bit of a re-correction

06:18:19.180 --> 06:18:20.680
Well, it's the moments like that

06:18:20.680 --> 06:18:24.240
I think this is where these new habits of like moving while you're spraying and things like that

06:18:24.240 --> 06:18:28.560
I think you really need to be precise when you're trying to take people down on the bomb and

06:18:29.040 --> 06:18:30.280
correcting and

06:18:30.280 --> 06:18:32.280
knowing where your bullets are going

06:18:32.280 --> 06:18:36.880
And it's back to back rounds and might just belt them out just as they go over the e fuses

06:18:36.880 --> 06:18:42.400
And he used the the guy to make the difference you could see he'd lost track of where they're actually planted for and I'm assuming

06:18:42.400 --> 06:18:43.800
That's probably getting combed over

06:18:43.800 --> 06:18:46.520
That's not where it went down. Lube it to the left and

06:18:47.160 --> 06:18:49.160
that recourse

06:18:49.160 --> 06:18:53.480
We'll net another round by the finest of margins to Spirit.

06:18:53.480 --> 06:18:55.880
And you can see because each and every round is quite expensive,

06:18:55.880 --> 06:18:58.880
it is having a knock-on effect to their buyers despite the successors.

06:18:58.880 --> 06:19:01.120
They're still coming in with Orc and Investments,

06:19:01.120 --> 06:19:02.400
couple of glills, same as well.

06:19:02.400 --> 06:19:04.720
Found this time they've got an MP7 here as well,

06:19:04.720 --> 06:19:06.480
but Tania does not care.

06:19:06.480 --> 06:19:09.800
The less than premium rifle, we'll find that as some players.

06:19:09.800 --> 06:19:12.760
It's a forced buy, of course, for G2.

06:19:12.760 --> 06:19:15.200
It's generally where teams like to lean here,

06:19:15.200 --> 06:19:17.680
forced buy here rather than playing for overtime.

06:19:17.680 --> 06:19:23.720
Has it started well at the very least tackle re-aggress and I'll never the playing field for a piece

06:19:26.400 --> 06:19:28.400
Who's on six

06:19:28.680 --> 06:19:33.300
He is alone here, but he's got the job. He's checks it. He's that's open. Oh, it's here

06:19:33.800 --> 06:19:36.420
So good that he checks it. I think because heavy God

06:19:37.480 --> 06:19:39.480
Really could have been devastating on those ramp players

06:19:40.720 --> 06:19:42.680
That's smoked off

06:19:42.680 --> 06:19:46.560
I'm saying not to spray through so wants to keep his location a little bit of a

06:19:47.240 --> 06:19:50.620
Secret I've been my name the last yeah, magic's finding

06:19:51.280 --> 06:19:56.800
Matty's at like top mid. Yeah, so with that they're also cut off. It's like the only place in goes calm

06:19:59.080 --> 06:20:03.900
They just do not fancy that I don't blame them I just don't think it's really worth giving a look into I

06:20:04.360 --> 06:20:09.000
Guess to have a little bit of last bonus to fall back on for that buy into what is most likely the last round of play

06:20:09.480 --> 06:20:11.480
over G2

06:20:11.480 --> 06:20:17.740
But she feels like they've just gone out with a bit of a whimper on their map. They've just not offered up enough spirit

06:20:18.780 --> 06:20:22.700
Say it again. It's not the cleanest by their standards, but it's still enough

06:20:22.700 --> 06:20:25.780
They've still got an extra 10 20% on top of GT right now

06:20:26.420 --> 06:20:31.040
And that's all that really is required to me is having a very good map, which is good to see we kind of spoke about it

06:20:31.880 --> 06:20:34.400
You know, he's at the ups and downs of the liquid game is great

06:20:34.400 --> 06:20:36.480
But then the Falcons one wasn't

06:20:36.480 --> 06:20:42.100
4.41 for him. He crossed that series. This is a really good map for him to get into was his is what the covers are

06:20:42.100 --> 06:20:44.300
And you know continuing where we're at as well where

06:20:44.860 --> 06:20:50.140
We're not getting those like kind of super shine lights across the board or we're not getting half this like donk wonder map

06:20:50.140 --> 06:20:54.700
Right, it's nice to have somebody to fall back on and for it to be to near especially because of you know

06:20:54.700 --> 06:20:56.700
He's had a bit of a spotlight

06:20:58.680 --> 06:21:03.120
Yeah, looking very good here, I think to take this one over the line G2 with some moments

06:21:03.120 --> 06:21:08.700
But just never had control of this game. I think that's gonna remain the case till

06:21:09.420 --> 06:21:10.720
It does go the wave spirit

06:21:10.720 --> 06:21:13.640
I think I thought she's well the rifling core of it was Jesus never got going

06:21:13.640 --> 06:21:16.920
Yeah, I you know like nuts. He's had a couple of moments here

06:21:16.920 --> 06:21:20.800
They're especially kind of clutches and retakes, but have you got a Matty's and looked

06:21:21.280 --> 06:21:26.540
Pretty weak by by again their standards, right? And it's been tough to watch don't you know swinging to the first supply

06:21:26.540 --> 06:21:29.760
It's called platter to big person to find as well and don't good deliver

06:21:29.760 --> 06:21:34.600
On a third, head on a swivel, the 180 from him is magic.

06:21:34.600 --> 06:21:38.000
As Teneir nets another, heavy guard in the ground,

06:21:38.000 --> 06:21:39.960
and Matty's now on a one versus four

06:21:39.960 --> 06:21:41.700
to keep them alive in this map.

06:21:41.700 --> 06:21:43.400
No chance in hell.

06:21:43.400 --> 06:21:46.920
That is for damn sure, a smoke, no kit, and an MP9.

06:21:46.920 --> 06:21:49.760
He needs a breath from the heavens

06:21:49.760 --> 06:21:51.440
that any sort of a chance he's seen of.

06:21:51.440 --> 06:21:55.880
Donk is delivered on a monster round to close out Mirage.

06:21:55.880 --> 06:21:58.840
And he may be a little bit quiet by what we expect of him,

06:21:58.840 --> 06:22:00.680
but he picks his time to shine.

06:22:00.680 --> 06:22:01.880
Yeah, and still able to do it.

06:22:01.880 --> 06:22:03.200
This is the thing, it's not like he was missing.

06:22:03.200 --> 06:22:05.320
I think it maybe comes down a little bit more

06:22:05.320 --> 06:22:08.840
to Tania just taking that limelight away from him, right?

06:22:08.840 --> 06:22:12.200
With perhaps a couple more multi-frag rounds,

06:22:12.200 --> 06:22:15.160
but I think they will be competing for the series

06:22:15.160 --> 06:22:16.000
towards the end there.

06:22:16.000 --> 06:22:20.960
Donk brings it within one or two kills on that scoreboard.

06:22:20.960 --> 06:22:22.520
So, you know, they were very, very close,

06:22:22.520 --> 06:22:23.840
looking pretty effective,

06:22:23.840 --> 06:22:26.840
but at the end of the day, spirit able to take it

06:22:26.840 --> 06:22:33.020
Extremely cleanly and for me, it was all about them the whole way through on G2's map pig

06:22:33.240 --> 06:22:35.860
Maybe where the standing road comes to an end

06:22:36.780 --> 06:22:42.180
Unfortunately, they get some look on their sides in places, but looking very very consistent

06:22:42.180 --> 06:22:43.220
I think as well, you know

06:22:43.220 --> 06:22:48.180
It's something that we brought throughout that map just the close moments the 1vx is the 1v1s

06:22:48.180 --> 06:22:53.820
They all go the way of spirit and it adds up it compounds and it leads to a 13-7 map number one

06:22:53.820 --> 06:22:56.700
That was G2's map pick, not the way they wanted to start it.

06:22:56.700 --> 06:22:59.820
We've got Spirit's pick of Dust2 coming up next,

06:22:59.820 --> 06:23:01.060
and it might be the end of this series.

06:23:01.060 --> 06:23:02.820
We'll have to find out after the break.

06:23:07.820 --> 06:23:12.940
T side, but Kixxum walks backwards through the palace smoke,

06:23:12.940 --> 06:23:16.420
drops, robs, and smoke pushes the vitality.

06:23:16.420 --> 06:23:18.020
You have not been nice to them.

06:23:18.020 --> 06:23:19.660
Flash your flash, boys, let's go!

06:23:19.660 --> 06:23:22.300
I mean, these rounds have been getting cleaner and cleaner for the Falcons.

06:23:22.300 --> 06:23:23.500
That's the other worrying thing.

06:23:23.500 --> 06:23:28.900
It's been a long time since Vitality have had them even close to kind of feeling the burn feeling the stress

06:23:34.700 --> 06:23:38.300
Just going for it now living like

06:23:41.740 --> 06:23:43.240
Surely not

06:23:43.240 --> 06:23:45.400
Surely not even now

06:23:45.980 --> 06:23:50.060
Still good for a double high stress situation. You wouldn't know it

06:23:50.060 --> 06:23:59.500
And Apex can't do a thing at Falcons. Map point in their favour. Higgs can, he just

06:23:59.500 --> 06:24:06.660
got the last bullet kill as he dropped in. That is unbelievable. How many times, he's

06:24:06.660 --> 06:24:12.660
still negative on the KD but his impact in the CT side cannot be overstated. Another

06:24:12.660 --> 06:24:23.540
multi-kill in a new position for the captain of Falcons. And a frustrating T-cypher vitality

06:24:23.540 --> 06:24:29.860
who just cannot get back on the board. A round straight. And this is where they kind

06:24:29.860 --> 06:24:34.100
of were against G2 the other day and they still won from a similar position. I doubt to them there.

06:24:34.900 --> 06:24:35.860
Do we doubt them again?

06:24:42.660 --> 06:24:47.420
Vitality's always seen him to dig themselves out of these spots, but this looks so hard right now

06:24:49.460 --> 06:24:52.340
Falcons everything has been going right every round has been clean

06:24:53.220 --> 06:24:57.180
Monty's belly had to use his AWP and now he strikes onto apex

06:24:59.460 --> 06:25:03.800
How do you win this round is it Falcons with the first map of the series

06:25:03.800 --> 06:25:15.840
Flames trying to ignite something here with a double keeps this one off flames

06:25:15.840 --> 06:25:21.480
binds one more on the top of that smoke so you asked for it you said they always

06:25:21.480 --> 06:25:27.140
seem to dig themselves out can flames be the guy kicks down throughout this

06:25:27.140 --> 06:25:31.960
entire attempt at the T half has been the problem in these a plays so often good

06:25:31.960 --> 06:25:37.720
for the multi-kills. If you can do that again now, let's get a tee up the Falcons. It's

06:25:37.720 --> 06:25:44.720
only Robs remaining. KickSign can't be stopped. Mr. Multi-Kill. Falcons captain seals it with

06:25:44.720 --> 06:25:51.000
a 3K and they lock in this opening map. They were down. You thought they were out. 8-4

06:25:51.000 --> 06:25:57.240
down as they moved in to this CT half or they walk away. 10 is all Vitality get.

06:26:01.960 --> 06:26:28.960
You want to come with me, I can see it in your eyes, it's a feeling that you can't deny, I'll bring you high so deep, so we can feel the light of the world behind, let yourself go, enjoy the ride.

06:26:28.960 --> 06:26:35.960
And if we fall, don't forget to just go with the light

06:26:35.960 --> 06:26:42.960
I'll kiss your flame, and you'll be mine

06:26:42.960 --> 06:26:47.960
And if you fall, you'll be mine

06:26:47.960 --> 06:26:49.960
Just go with the light

06:27:28.960 --> 06:27:30.960
Yeah, but we're gonna stay in the tower for a while now.

06:27:32.960 --> 06:27:33.960
This is sick, fuck!

06:27:34.960 --> 06:27:35.960
This is so cool.

06:27:35.960 --> 06:27:36.960
I'm a fucking medic!

06:27:42.960 --> 06:27:43.960
I can build a wall, wait.

06:27:49.960 --> 06:27:50.960
What is this?

06:27:52.960 --> 06:27:54.960
Is this Rainbow Six? And what's happening?

06:27:54.960 --> 06:27:55.960
Go, go, go, go, go.

06:27:55.960 --> 06:27:57.960
2 mid, 2 mid, 2 mid.

06:27:57.960 --> 06:27:58.960
I'm dead.

06:27:58.960 --> 06:27:59.960
Next you can in 50 seconds.

06:27:59.960 --> 06:28:00.960
2 mid, 3 mids.

06:28:00.960 --> 06:28:01.960
I'm going no banana.

06:28:01.960 --> 06:28:02.960
I'm going no banana.

06:28:02.960 --> 06:28:03.960
Good.

06:28:03.960 --> 06:28:04.960
There's a fucking game, bro!

06:28:04.960 --> 06:28:05.960
They're retreating, they're retreating.

06:28:05.960 --> 06:28:06.960
Outside.

06:28:06.960 --> 06:28:08.960
This is... this is not good.

06:28:08.960 --> 06:28:10.960
There's two more.

06:28:10.960 --> 06:28:12.960
There's two more.

06:28:12.960 --> 06:28:14.960
They're going to break through.

06:28:14.960 --> 06:28:15.960
I'm going to get you.

06:28:15.960 --> 06:28:16.960
Banana.

06:28:16.960 --> 06:28:18.960
I'm gonna have something to kill.

06:28:18.960 --> 06:28:19.960
Banana, bro.

06:28:19.960 --> 06:28:20.960
Who built the wall?

06:28:20.960 --> 06:28:21.960
I can't hear you.

06:28:21.960 --> 06:28:22.960
I can't hear you.

06:28:22.960 --> 06:28:23.960
I'm dying.

06:28:23.960 --> 06:28:24.960
All the kills are like that.

06:28:24.960 --> 06:28:25.960
We have a lot of kills.

06:28:25.960 --> 06:28:27.960
What is this?

06:28:27.960 --> 06:28:29.960
Can you put it on the wall?

06:28:29.960 --> 06:28:31.960
Oh, I see it.

06:28:31.960 --> 06:28:33.960
It's on the wall.

06:28:33.960 --> 06:28:35.960
It's me.

06:28:35.960 --> 06:28:37.960
All of Goose.

06:28:40.960 --> 06:28:42.960
Can you put the wall?

06:28:42.960 --> 06:28:44.960
Yes.

06:28:44.960 --> 06:28:46.960
Come on.

06:28:46.960 --> 06:28:48.960
Wait.

06:28:48.960 --> 06:28:50.960
It doesn't work.

06:28:50.960 --> 06:28:52.960
I'll start the smoke.

06:28:52.960 --> 06:28:54.960
Wallhack is on.

06:28:54.960 --> 06:28:55.960
I see them!

06:28:55.960 --> 06:28:56.960
One more!

06:28:56.960 --> 06:28:57.960
One more!

06:28:57.960 --> 06:28:58.960
One more!

06:28:58.960 --> 06:28:59.960
One more!

06:28:59.960 --> 06:29:00.960
One more!

06:29:00.960 --> 06:29:01.960
One more!

06:29:01.960 --> 06:29:02.960
I give you guys wallhack.

06:29:02.960 --> 06:29:03.960
Who's shooting?

06:29:03.960 --> 06:29:05.960
Yeah, that was sick!

06:29:05.960 --> 06:29:08.960
Do it again, do it again, do it again.

06:29:08.960 --> 06:29:11.960
Wait, it's the trap, it's the trap, bro.

06:29:11.960 --> 06:29:12.960
Yes, do it.

06:29:12.960 --> 06:29:13.960
Stand up.

06:29:13.960 --> 06:29:14.960
No, just sit down.

06:29:14.960 --> 06:29:16.960
Stand up, I don't see them.

06:29:16.960 --> 06:29:19.960
Go play and watch the chickens long and see if they're long.

06:29:19.960 --> 06:29:21.960
If they don't see them, they go long.

06:29:21.960 --> 06:29:22.960
Oh, fuck.

06:29:22.960 --> 06:29:24.960
I'm going chicken.

06:29:26.960 --> 06:29:28.960
Oh, no!

06:29:28.960 --> 06:29:30.960
I killed a chicken, bro.

06:29:30.960 --> 06:29:32.960
I'm going to kill the chicken.

06:29:32.960 --> 06:29:34.960
Watch out, watch out.

06:29:34.960 --> 06:29:36.960
Vashka, they ran away.

06:29:36.960 --> 06:29:38.960
I got him.

06:29:38.960 --> 06:29:40.960
I killed everyone.

06:29:40.960 --> 06:29:42.960
I'm walking.

06:29:42.960 --> 06:29:44.960
I'm walking.

06:29:44.960 --> 06:29:46.960
This wall killed 100 FPS for me.

06:29:46.960 --> 06:29:48.960
Put the gun on the top of the wall.

06:29:48.960 --> 06:29:50.960
Make sure to look at the monsters.

06:29:50.960 --> 06:29:52.960
AWP, AWP, boost me up, yeah, yeah.

06:29:52.960 --> 06:29:53.960
Take care of yourselves, guys.

06:29:53.960 --> 06:29:55.960
Andrey, I'll show you, yeah, I'll show you.

06:29:55.960 --> 06:29:56.960
I got it, he's in the bush.

06:29:56.960 --> 06:29:57.960
What kind of guy is that?

06:29:57.960 --> 06:29:59.960
I'll put everyone on the plus.

06:29:59.960 --> 06:30:00.960
That's right there.

06:30:00.960 --> 06:30:01.960
Yeah, let's go.

06:30:01.960 --> 06:30:02.960
I'm going to get a monster in the forest.

06:30:02.960 --> 06:30:03.960
Give me a present, damn it!

06:30:03.960 --> 06:30:05.960
Ah, you're in the bush.

06:30:05.960 --> 06:30:06.960
Give me an autograph.

06:30:06.960 --> 06:30:08.960
No, two Bs, one in the bush.

06:30:08.960 --> 06:30:10.960
Come on, push, push.

06:30:10.960 --> 06:30:11.960
Wait, they're pushing.

06:30:11.960 --> 06:30:12.960
They're pushing.

06:30:12.960 --> 06:30:13.960
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

06:30:13.960 --> 06:30:14.960
What the fuck is this?

06:30:14.960 --> 06:30:15.960
Nice.

06:30:15.960 --> 06:30:16.960
Nice, save it.

06:30:16.960 --> 06:30:18.960
Okay, we can all go B, they just put the wall there, hold B from there.

06:30:18.960 --> 06:30:20.960
That's why they didn't smoke monster, bro.

06:30:22.400 --> 06:30:23.400
They're all going to the left.

06:30:23.400 --> 06:30:25.400
They're going to shoot at you guys.

06:30:27.960 --> 06:30:30.760
They're up to the right. Up to the right is the camera, no?

06:30:30.760 --> 06:30:33.260
That's how they work. It's the real cameras.

06:30:38.560 --> 06:30:40.760
I can run in. I have extra left, you know?

06:30:40.760 --> 06:30:42.760
Whoa, whoa, stop the car. Stop the car.

06:30:42.760 --> 06:30:43.760
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

06:30:43.760 --> 06:30:44.260
Uh-huh.

06:30:44.260 --> 06:30:44.960
Save yourself.

06:30:44.960 --> 06:30:45.460
Go.

06:30:45.460 --> 06:30:45.960
Okay.

06:30:45.960 --> 06:30:46.960
I'm going to go.

06:30:46.960 --> 06:30:47.960
I'm going to go.

06:30:47.960 --> 06:30:48.960
One on the right!

06:30:50.960 --> 06:30:51.960
Do you still have a grenade?

06:30:51.960 --> 06:30:52.960
No, I don't.

06:30:52.960 --> 06:30:54.960
I can't see anything there.

06:30:54.960 --> 06:30:55.960
I'm going to go up there.

06:30:55.960 --> 06:30:56.960
I'm going to go up there.

06:30:56.960 --> 06:30:57.960
I'm going to go up there.

06:30:57.960 --> 06:30:58.960
Is your fucking wall there?

06:30:58.960 --> 06:30:59.960
I just broke your wall there.

06:31:02.960 --> 06:31:03.960
I'm on CT.

06:31:03.960 --> 06:31:04.960
I'm on CT.

06:31:05.960 --> 06:31:06.960
CT one, over one.

06:31:06.960 --> 06:31:07.960
You saw me?

06:31:09.960 --> 06:31:11.960
Fucking chicken!

06:31:11.960 --> 06:31:13.960
Oh, I was opening the door for once.

06:31:13.960 --> 06:31:15.960
I can't flash you now, because you're going to get out.

06:31:15.960 --> 06:31:17.960
It's fake flash, f**k.

06:31:17.960 --> 06:31:18.960
No, it's not.

06:31:18.960 --> 06:31:20.960
You love it, you wear it.

06:31:20.960 --> 06:31:22.960
That's the perfect line for this content.

06:31:22.960 --> 06:31:24.960
Can you stab me with a camera?

06:31:24.960 --> 06:31:25.960
No, I can't.

06:31:25.960 --> 06:31:26.960
Oh, I can.

06:31:26.960 --> 06:31:27.960
The f**k is nothing made.

06:31:27.960 --> 06:31:28.960
That's what I say.

06:31:28.960 --> 06:31:29.960
F**k, I see.

06:31:29.960 --> 06:31:30.960
I see.

06:31:30.960 --> 06:31:31.960
How should I do this?

06:31:32.960 --> 06:31:33.960
Assert.

06:31:33.960 --> 06:31:34.960
What's the sound?

06:31:35.960 --> 06:31:37.960
How should I understand that this is how it works?

06:31:37.960 --> 06:31:39.960
Well, it works in the game.

06:31:39.960 --> 06:31:40.960
Oh, someone's not speaking.

06:31:40.960 --> 06:31:41.960
I don't know.

06:31:41.960 --> 06:31:42.960
What?

06:31:45.960 --> 06:31:47.960
I'm not sure.

06:31:47.960 --> 06:31:49.960
One on short.

06:31:49.960 --> 06:31:51.960
I'm not sure.

06:31:51.960 --> 06:31:53.960
I got him.

06:31:53.960 --> 06:31:55.960
I'm gonna take him.

06:31:55.960 --> 06:31:57.960
I'm gonna take him.

06:31:57.960 --> 06:31:59.960
Not bad.

06:32:01.960 --> 06:32:03.960
I'm gonna put the camera on the monster.

06:32:03.960 --> 06:32:05.960
I'm gonna rain, guys.

06:32:05.960 --> 06:32:07.960
You were choosing two.

06:32:07.960 --> 06:32:09.960
One city.

06:32:09.960 --> 06:32:11.960
I only chose one.

06:32:11.960 --> 06:32:13.960
I'm a medic.

06:32:13.960 --> 06:32:14.960
I'm not fucking kidding.

06:32:15.960 --> 06:32:17.960
I'm fucking...

06:32:17.960 --> 06:32:18.960
I'm not fucking kidding.

06:32:18.960 --> 06:32:19.960
I'm not fucking kidding.

06:32:19.960 --> 06:32:20.960
Look.

06:32:21.960 --> 06:32:22.960
I put it.

06:32:22.960 --> 06:32:23.960
Fuck.

06:32:23.960 --> 06:32:24.960
Wait, let me flash you.

06:32:26.960 --> 06:32:27.960
I'm going to the fight.

06:32:27.960 --> 06:32:28.960
Let me flash you.

06:32:28.960 --> 06:32:29.960
Wait, I put it.

06:32:29.960 --> 06:32:30.960
I'm fucking kidding, guys.

06:32:30.960 --> 06:32:31.960
Are you ready?

06:32:31.960 --> 06:32:32.960
I put it.

06:32:32.960 --> 06:32:33.960
Yeah.

06:32:34.960 --> 06:32:35.960
I'm shooting.

06:32:35.960 --> 06:32:36.960
I'm shooting.

06:32:36.960 --> 06:32:37.960
Fuck.

06:32:37.960 --> 06:32:38.960
Fuck.

06:32:38.960 --> 06:32:39.960
Fuck.

06:32:40.960 --> 06:32:42.960
I just killed the guy without a bullet.

06:32:43.960 --> 06:32:54.960
I didn't understand how to stay. I wanted to go further.

06:33:13.960 --> 06:33:15.960
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

06:33:15.960 --> 06:33:17.960
I told him what is next to him

06:33:17.960 --> 06:33:18.960
You should have sprung up

06:33:18.960 --> 06:33:20.460
My fucking ability is amazing

06:33:20.460 --> 06:33:22.460
I wish this ability was real bro

06:33:22.460 --> 06:33:25.460
Alright, actually maybe I will start a Korean veteran now

06:33:26.960 --> 06:33:27.960
This is awesome, exciting!

06:33:27.960 --> 06:33:29.460
I heard some sound on there

06:33:29.460 --> 06:33:29.960
One's there

06:33:29.960 --> 06:33:30.960
On there, on there, on there

06:33:30.960 --> 06:33:31.960
Only one, only one

06:33:32.960 --> 06:33:33.960
There's one on there

06:33:33.960 --> 06:33:34.960
There's one on there

06:33:34.960 --> 06:33:35.960
No one is still on me

06:33:35.960 --> 06:33:36.960
Two banana, two banana

06:33:36.960 --> 06:33:37.960
Okay, flash banana

06:33:37.960 --> 06:33:38.960
One flash

06:33:38.960 --> 06:33:39.960
Bank, bank, bank

06:33:39.960 --> 06:33:40.960
I'll bank, bank

06:33:40.960 --> 06:33:41.960
I'll teleported, bank

06:33:41.960 --> 06:33:42.960
Coming to you

06:33:42.960 --> 06:33:43.460
Come on.

06:33:43.460 --> 06:33:43.960
I don't know.

06:33:44.960 --> 06:33:45.460
He's running.

06:33:45.460 --> 06:33:45.960
Nice.

06:33:46.460 --> 06:33:46.960
I don't know.

06:33:46.960 --> 06:33:47.460
That's bad.

06:33:47.460 --> 06:33:47.960
Damn.

06:33:47.960 --> 06:33:49.960
I'm gonna play as a hopper, yeah?

06:33:49.960 --> 06:33:51.960
Ah, guys, I have a plan.

06:33:51.960 --> 06:33:52.460
I'm gonna play.

06:33:52.460 --> 06:33:53.960
Look, I'm gonna get home.

06:33:53.960 --> 06:33:55.960
I'm gonna go to the 50 hp.

06:33:55.960 --> 06:33:56.960
And I'm gonna start healing.

06:33:56.960 --> 06:33:58.460
You're gonna run next to me, and you're gonna heal too.

06:33:58.460 --> 06:33:59.460
Ah, I'm gonna heal.

06:33:59.460 --> 06:33:59.960
Come on.

06:33:59.960 --> 06:34:00.460
Let's go.

06:34:00.460 --> 06:34:00.960
Let's go.

06:34:00.960 --> 06:34:01.460
Let's go.

06:34:03.960 --> 06:34:04.460
I'm going.

06:34:04.960 --> 06:34:05.460
Let's go.

06:34:05.460 --> 06:34:05.960
Kill him.

06:34:06.460 --> 06:34:06.960
Kill him.

06:34:06.960 --> 06:34:07.460
Kill him.

06:34:07.460 --> 06:34:07.960
He's gonna rush.

06:34:07.960 --> 06:34:08.960
He's almost dead.

06:34:08.960 --> 06:34:09.960
He's almost dead.

06:34:09.960 --> 06:34:10.460
No, no.

06:34:10.460 --> 06:34:12.460
This is the most ruthless fucking skill.

06:34:12.460 --> 06:34:13.460
I'm dead.

06:34:13.460 --> 06:34:16.460
What is this?

06:34:16.460 --> 06:34:21.460
I'm dead too.

06:34:21.460 --> 06:34:24.460
Give me a flash.

06:34:24.460 --> 06:34:28.460
I can flash over monster for you.

06:34:28.460 --> 06:34:30.460
I'm blind, come out.

06:34:30.460 --> 06:34:32.460
I'm in the hole.

06:34:32.460 --> 06:34:35.460
Stumble, stumble.

06:34:35.460 --> 06:34:37.460
He's teleporting.

06:34:37.460 --> 06:34:40.460
He's out.

06:34:40.460 --> 06:34:42.460
I'm gonna get the camera

06:34:42.460 --> 06:34:44.460
He's a monster, a fane

06:34:44.460 --> 06:34:46.460
He's gonna kill you, right?

06:34:46.460 --> 06:34:48.460
Yeah, he's a shaw

06:34:48.460 --> 06:34:50.460
This is a skill, Timba

06:34:50.460 --> 06:34:52.460
He's not your dog

06:34:52.460 --> 06:34:54.460
Nice

06:34:54.460 --> 06:34:56.460
Hit it, hit it

06:34:56.460 --> 06:34:58.460
Thank you

06:34:58.460 --> 06:35:00.460
I'm gonna get my AK, bro

06:35:00.460 --> 06:35:02.460
Come on, come on, come on

06:35:02.460 --> 06:35:04.460
Don't throw, we can live in two rounds

06:35:06.460 --> 06:35:08.460
Under, under, both both

06:35:10.460 --> 06:35:12.860
It's mine, and he was rotating towards him, Rostov.

06:35:24.860 --> 06:35:26.860
He's coming, he's coming. Good job.

06:35:40.460 --> 06:35:42.460
You're sick David!

06:35:44.460 --> 06:35:45.460
Ah, that was...

06:35:45.460 --> 06:35:46.460
Should be heaven.

06:35:47.460 --> 06:35:48.460
Oh, it happened already?

06:35:48.460 --> 06:35:49.460
Oh!

06:35:50.460 --> 06:35:51.460
What is this dash?

06:35:51.460 --> 06:35:53.460
I got most of the data, bro.

06:35:53.460 --> 06:35:54.460
Dude, you outplayed it.

06:35:54.460 --> 06:35:55.460
Freaking sick.

06:35:56.460 --> 06:35:57.460
Crazy.

06:35:57.460 --> 06:35:58.460
Heaven's taking picture of it now.

06:35:59.460 --> 06:36:01.460
Why did you say backlight?

06:36:02.460 --> 06:36:03.460
I was like what?

06:36:08.460 --> 06:36:09.460
Oh, what?

06:36:10.460 --> 06:36:12.460
Nice, he gave up.

06:36:12.460 --> 06:36:13.460
W, W all around.

06:36:13.460 --> 06:36:15.460
Let's go, we won one of these games.

06:36:15.460 --> 06:36:17.460
Fucking sick man.

06:36:17.460 --> 06:36:47.380
I think pretty worried for the G2 side of things. It's never really got into the conversation.

06:36:47.380 --> 06:36:53.380
on map number one is the the big issue and I think they will kind of know that they you saw fear their timeouts in the first half

06:36:53.380 --> 06:36:57.740
Then they didn't have any left in the second half and the second half also didn't really go to plan

06:36:57.740 --> 06:37:02.460
Even though they won a force by like they just really could not get things going in their favor

06:37:02.460 --> 06:37:06.460
I don't want to say we slightly foreshadowed it, but we kind of did we were saying oh

06:37:06.700 --> 06:37:08.860
It might be a good idea to keep one on deck

06:37:08.860 --> 06:37:14.700
Yeah, just in case that second half starts a little slow like you lose pistol you lose kind of a force by behind there

06:37:14.700 --> 06:37:19.180
You want to make sure your first gun run goes well, but they don't have any time out to pull back on or spirit

06:37:19.180 --> 06:37:20.540
I'm gonna give them one so

06:37:20.540 --> 06:37:26.540
They ran away with things and now we look in towards this map number two cause dust two is the picker spirit and all

06:37:26.940 --> 06:37:30.420
Expectations now that they should be taking this is there. It's such a good map for spirit

06:37:30.420 --> 06:37:36.780
It's been such a pocket pick for them for a long long time and I mean outside of statistics now side of maps or the rest

06:37:36.780 --> 06:37:43.580
They just look so much sharper as a team especially that rifling call. Yeah, I mean, there's just no real way you've

06:37:43.580 --> 06:37:47.520
the game. It's a little bit of

06:37:47.520 --> 06:37:49.520
a sugarcoating it for the G two

06:37:49.520 --> 06:37:51.520
side. They did not have the

06:37:51.520 --> 06:37:53.520
individuals to match up. It's

06:37:53.520 --> 06:37:55.520
not like the tactics were super

06:37:55.520 --> 06:37:57.520
deep. Um, and especially

06:37:57.520 --> 06:37:59.520
straight out of the gate spirit

06:37:59.520 --> 06:38:01.520
were just able to read them off

06:38:01.520 --> 06:38:03.520
the park. And I think, you know,

06:38:03.520 --> 06:38:05.520
it came down some timeouts. It

06:38:05.520 --> 06:38:07.520
came down to we need to change

06:38:07.520 --> 06:38:09.520
things up. Big style. Now we're

06:38:09.520 --> 06:38:11.520
on the dust, too, which is

06:38:11.520 --> 06:38:15.220
I don't know if the G2 that's

06:38:15.320 --> 06:38:16.320
fair, but it's going to be

06:38:16.420 --> 06:38:19.120
tough. It's your tips. The

06:38:19.220 --> 06:38:20.720
first head and straight up

06:38:20.820 --> 06:38:22.320
short. They will go looking

06:38:22.420 --> 06:38:24.420
good to get that bomb down. In

06:38:24.520 --> 06:38:26.420
a matter of moments, especially

06:38:26.520 --> 06:38:27.420
with some smoke backing it up.

06:38:27.520 --> 06:38:29.420
Yeah, well that is get one back

06:38:29.520 --> 06:38:31.420
and tackle family through the

06:38:31.520 --> 06:38:33.420
smoke. Matties okay just when

06:38:33.520 --> 06:38:35.420
it felt like things are looking

06:38:35.520 --> 06:38:37.420
pretty good for spirit. They're

06:38:37.520 --> 06:38:39.420
now on the back foot and to

06:38:39.420 --> 06:38:44.140
What was looking like a bad spot there towards that A site fantastic work from him

06:38:44.640 --> 06:38:48.420
And that's what they needed kickstart. You dust to have a nice solid

06:38:48.860 --> 06:38:52.500
CT pistol and then you can scale in towards your opponents mapping

06:38:52.700 --> 06:38:58.320
Yeah, I mean we were all in there maybe even spirit a little bit too much themselves, right there spacing breaks down

06:38:58.660 --> 06:39:02.380
So the trades are pretty tough on site USP, but I think everyone felt

06:39:03.020 --> 06:39:06.820
Got the opener look at the state of the a bomb site. Okay, they should be able to get in

06:39:06.820 --> 06:39:10.940
at least get the bomb plant, I don't even get that. So there's going to be a hard eco

06:39:10.940 --> 06:39:20.500
here with a couple of P250s in play, but G2 should move us to pretty quickly in spirit.

06:39:20.500 --> 06:39:25.280
Immediately have the wind taken out of their sails. Yeah, I'm watching not really a lot

06:39:25.280 --> 06:39:29.980
they can do in a round like this. They go deep in towards Longhouse, but too deep that

06:39:29.980 --> 06:39:31.980
I won't really do anything towards Shiro.

06:39:35.980 --> 06:39:38.980
Oplope 250s, that is about it.

06:39:41.980 --> 06:39:44.980
Move here, Shiro! We'll find the first, maybe...

06:39:45.980 --> 06:39:48.980
We have an oversight there, Matty's didn't really need to move on forward.

06:39:48.980 --> 06:39:51.980
It all cost him his life and I'll give over.

06:39:51.980 --> 06:39:53.980
That'd be nice.

06:39:54.980 --> 06:39:55.980
And Shiro can stay there as well.

06:39:55.980 --> 06:39:56.980
Yeah.

06:39:56.980 --> 06:40:04.820
to make a decision. Generally

06:40:04.820 --> 06:40:06.820
speaking, when you look at this

06:40:06.820 --> 06:40:08.820
like brute force trying to get

06:40:08.820 --> 06:40:10.820
the bomb down. Is a short on

06:40:10.820 --> 06:40:13.020
this map has the most

06:40:13.020 --> 06:40:16.020
efficacy. It spots them out,

06:40:16.020 --> 06:40:18.020
but into a little bit. You don't

06:40:18.020 --> 06:40:20.020
want to be the next one to go

06:40:20.020 --> 06:40:22.020
down when you've already lost

06:40:22.020 --> 06:40:24.020
to my advantage. He does a lot

06:40:24.020 --> 06:40:26.020
of damage to be fair to not all

06:40:26.020 --> 06:40:37.020
it gets expended, but it doesn't matter too much. Some players backs him and he will stay alive. That's the key thing really. So just the one kill often else happening either those P 250s to double

06:40:37.020 --> 06:40:47.020
dink somebody. But yeah, not to be some prices really well. They bails tack out tack a little bit of a labored spray looked like he was maybe under a tab in a pressure and he just didn't want to fall either.

06:40:47.020 --> 06:40:50.700
but some players as well his two kills give him time to pull up the pistol

06:40:50.700 --> 06:40:56.900
re-peaking on that low player and just like that second on the board and

06:40:56.900 --> 06:41:01.300
how he towards that first gun round force for it the T side on Mirage look

06:41:01.300 --> 06:41:05.580
excellent to me all the way throughout but I especially don't get that tail end

06:41:05.580 --> 06:41:10.380
absolutely flying so I hoping they can tap back into that it will be AK's across

06:41:10.380 --> 06:41:15.460
the board bar magics he's gone for the Khalil to bolster up the utility tab

06:41:15.460 --> 06:41:19.460
Let's go round to see what Spirit all about. We've already spoken about it, we've really

06:41:19.460 --> 06:41:27.260
sung the praises. This is such a good map for them. Sort of expecting an immediate response

06:41:27.260 --> 06:41:37.900
in towards your first investment now.

06:41:37.900 --> 06:41:46.020
off of the tunnel aggression, but a lack of presence is still information. Just got to

06:41:46.020 --> 06:41:49.900
be careful. Zontics has heard all this going down. He's gone for a look himself to just

06:41:49.900 --> 06:41:55.700
see if the tunnels are compromised or not. And it is the latter. Smoke's coming into

06:41:55.700 --> 06:42:00.340
the extremities though, so Spirit not really going to have too much to work with going

06:42:00.340 --> 06:42:05.940
into what would be their attack. 45 seconds, I don't have a lot of time here.

06:42:05.940 --> 06:42:10.740
Smoke down as well. Tack playing behind it.

06:42:10.740 --> 06:42:15.860
Matty's up close, potentially could be overlooked here.

06:42:15.860 --> 06:42:19.780
Should get at least one, and he does. How about a second, he'll find that two.

06:42:19.780 --> 06:42:23.060
Don't can't turn around in time. Tack had made a move forward.

06:42:23.060 --> 06:42:26.900
Ashiro falls, and well it's all falling apart, unfortunately, four spirit.

06:42:26.900 --> 06:42:30.020
It's left down to the leader, and there's nothing Magics can do.

06:42:30.020 --> 06:42:33.860
All he can opt is here to just show up and save and keep the take care live.

06:42:33.860 --> 06:42:36.220
It's a really nice shot down there by G2.

06:42:37.220 --> 06:42:39.860
Yeah, just over the top contact from Spirit.

06:42:40.860 --> 06:42:45.060
Really seem in this series, both teams are leaning into that in a big, big way.

06:42:46.820 --> 06:42:50.460
And I think it means they're not able to check those corners, like you say.

06:42:50.460 --> 06:42:52.860
They're not really leaving themselves a lot of time.

06:42:53.260 --> 06:42:54.260
Yeah.

06:42:55.260 --> 06:42:56.780
Just put some evenness, pressure.

06:42:56.780 --> 06:43:00.120
also very awkward team damage.

06:43:00.120 --> 06:43:02.620
The hair is to near span around.

06:43:02.620 --> 06:43:05.980
Didn't quite get the cross around dinked his teammate,

06:43:05.980 --> 06:43:08.760
then died and then his teammates on half HP

06:43:08.760 --> 06:43:09.620
because he's taking a dink.

06:43:09.620 --> 06:43:12.520
So yeah, well, it does.

06:43:12.520 --> 06:43:17.020
That feels like a pretty rare turn of events, unfortunately.

06:43:17.020 --> 06:43:19.580
But yeah, run out of mouse mat.

06:43:19.580 --> 06:43:22.260
I definitely have that one one sort twice

06:43:22.260 --> 06:43:23.820
or you bang your keyboard.

06:43:23.820 --> 06:43:26.060
You know, we don't have a perfect step up like this.

06:43:26.060 --> 06:43:30.940
I I end up swiping and collect punch my key gonna get you keyboard on like the 90 degree angle

06:43:30.940 --> 06:43:35.420
I know that's a big part why they do it. I also enjoy not having carpal tunnel. Yeah, that's fair

06:43:37.040 --> 06:43:40.260
That's a vacate he's gonna be dropped over towards Donk

06:43:41.500 --> 06:43:43.980
Ain't fair enough to be honest, but he's yet to get the ball

06:43:45.900 --> 06:43:47.900
On six takes a tag

06:43:49.540 --> 06:43:53.780
Survives down as well the second nades too deep or HP

06:44:23.780 --> 06:44:26.500
We look at that bomb down Montoff coming in a little late.

06:44:26.500 --> 06:44:27.880
We look at Donk here.

06:44:27.880 --> 06:44:29.300
Post plan.

06:44:29.300 --> 06:44:31.180
Players coming at him.

06:44:31.180 --> 06:44:32.420
Can he take any down?

06:44:32.420 --> 06:44:33.980
Lovely little boost to get the first.

06:44:33.980 --> 06:44:37.300
The costum effect chunk of that HP.

06:44:37.300 --> 06:44:39.740
The bomb is really ticking down now.

06:44:39.740 --> 06:44:42.700
He wants someone else to take it.

06:44:42.700 --> 06:44:44.420
He's a bit healthier.

06:44:44.420 --> 06:44:46.180
Certainly not feeling himself, you might say.

06:44:46.180 --> 06:44:48.300
There's trades coming in though with these tech 9s.

06:44:48.300 --> 06:44:50.060
It's down to the one on one.

06:44:50.060 --> 06:44:52.960
Sunpires does manage to find its ontics.

06:44:52.960 --> 06:44:59.460
However, in all of this, he was just so far away from the bomb site, and with him just not revealing, hiding away,

06:45:00.460 --> 06:45:03.960
he's going to win the round out. Some players just didn't want to get in there. There's not enough time.

06:45:04.760 --> 06:45:12.960
That is wild. The Zontics just completely takes himself out of the round and is able to win it like that.

06:45:13.060 --> 06:45:16.960
And Dongsun really well. They needed someone to fall back on. You can see that.

06:45:16.960 --> 06:45:22.400
Maybe very slightly surprising kind of lacking confidence generally speaking you'd opt in to be like 14 HP

06:45:22.400 --> 06:45:28.140
I'm still better, but he does drop the gun over and then he re-picks it back up and then get the kill behind it

06:45:28.800 --> 06:45:34.440
Well, like you said Tom tix. He just doesn't show any presence. They lose track of him as does we and

06:45:34.880 --> 06:45:40.480
He just hides in the smoking towards CT the spirit and unlikely first on the board for them

06:45:42.080 --> 06:45:46.840
That might be something which they can use as a bit of a springboard to kickstart the seaside properly now

06:45:46.960 --> 06:45:48.960
On their mapping.

06:45:48.960 --> 06:45:50.960
They're gonna wake up call for G2.

06:45:50.960 --> 06:45:52.960
Donk deals so much damage to TAC.

06:45:52.960 --> 06:45:57.960
Those bullets look like they are millimetres away with his final one in the chamber.

06:45:57.960 --> 06:46:01.960
He'll catch TAC, but Donk is left really gonna 11 points of HP.

06:46:01.960 --> 06:46:04.960
Yeah, I mean, good to see. Maybe he senses it in himself that he's like,

06:46:04.960 --> 06:46:09.960
I'm feeling a little less confident. Maybe trying to play a more selfless game.

06:46:09.960 --> 06:46:11.960
He just remembers.

06:46:11.960 --> 06:46:13.960
Wait a minute. I'm Donk.

06:46:13.960 --> 06:46:14.960
Indeed.

06:46:14.960 --> 06:46:18.260
He locks in the moment in the mirror with himself.

06:46:18.260 --> 06:46:20.960
And indeed he will find a big find.

06:46:20.960 --> 06:46:22.960
And now onto the AWP.

06:46:22.960 --> 06:46:24.960
He'll bog down his law.

06:46:24.960 --> 06:46:26.960
So we'll see what he can do with that.

06:46:26.960 --> 06:46:29.960
Looking for that entry, able to get that entry.

06:46:29.960 --> 06:46:33.960
They will force some pious now off of the corner angle.

06:46:33.960 --> 06:46:35.960
And he cannot get anything going.

06:46:35.960 --> 06:46:38.960
I feel a save for G2.

06:46:38.960 --> 06:46:40.960
Absolutely brewing here. Heavy gods.

06:46:40.960 --> 06:46:43.960
Nearby, if anyone comes his way, but with that CT smoke,

06:46:43.960 --> 06:46:46.580
and he starts to confirm that they're not gonna go crazy mode.

06:46:46.580 --> 06:46:46.980
Yeah.

06:46:46.980 --> 06:46:50.020
Five versus three converting into the second round for spirit.

06:46:50.020 --> 06:46:51.420
Oh, it's on ticks.

06:46:51.420 --> 06:46:52.760
Ha ha ha.

06:46:52.760 --> 06:46:54.680
Comical, to be honest.

06:46:54.680 --> 06:46:56.660
If you hadn't of stopped, I think you would have caught.

06:46:56.660 --> 06:46:57.120
Yeah, I think you would have caught.

06:46:57.120 --> 06:46:58.560
Have you got a look in the wrong way?

06:46:58.560 --> 06:47:01.820
I think he kind of just didn't really realize how much it plowed.

06:47:01.820 --> 06:47:02.480
Yeah.

06:47:02.480 --> 06:47:05.420
Well, this is the CS2 Smokes, isn't it, really?

06:47:05.420 --> 06:47:07.360
Yeah, volumetric and all those buzzwords.

06:47:07.360 --> 06:47:09.180
They're like, throw it out of spot.

06:47:09.180 --> 06:47:10.560
In the end, have you got...

06:47:10.560 --> 06:47:12.880
He can't get out of there.

06:47:12.880 --> 06:47:20.320
will just be Matty's and Nurtz. Staying alive M4 and a famouse for them.

06:47:21.840 --> 06:47:27.600
Second back-to-back for Spirit and now the chance to scale. There will be a reinvest to come

06:47:27.600 --> 06:47:32.000
through for G2 at the very least. You can use this round in a similar fashion as the last two

06:47:32.000 --> 06:47:36.320
and that's where money will start to run a bit of dry and that's a potential you might see a time

06:47:36.320 --> 06:47:46.320
come through. Certainly see.

06:47:46.320 --> 06:47:52.060
Between each other at the moment as we get into an important round, there's still some

06:47:52.060 --> 06:47:58.520
kind of presence coming in. Oh, big time onto the AK perfect guy. Well, not only if your

06:47:58.520 --> 06:48:02.160
name is heavy God, he's like, Yeah, give me that. Give me that.

06:48:02.160 --> 06:48:04.160
I'll just launch together. Thank you very much.

06:48:05.280 --> 06:48:08.640
Honey, we'll do some work with it. Honey, get a bit more than that though.

06:48:09.760 --> 06:48:16.880
It's the key question. Very confident move. Had it in the previous from Donk. Got it again here.

06:48:16.880 --> 06:48:21.040
So maybe something that G2 can open their eyes to is like Donk looking for entries.

06:48:24.480 --> 06:48:24.980
Back.

06:48:26.800 --> 06:48:29.520
Just come in to round this corner. Matties will swing. No one here.

06:48:29.520 --> 06:48:41.520
It's a pretty interesting fight that feels like it might brew here around short on the

06:48:41.520 --> 06:48:46.280
swing because Zontics have Util in hand, down he will go and same for Taneir, but they're

06:48:46.280 --> 06:48:47.280
walking in towards Magix.

06:48:47.280 --> 06:48:48.280
There's two to him.

06:48:48.280 --> 06:48:50.920
He looks for three and he gets the dink onto Matty.

06:48:50.920 --> 06:48:52.960
It's not enough and the clock can't see it off.

06:48:52.960 --> 06:48:56.920
It's all on Shiro and he should know we're both in the mark and he has lost plenty of

06:48:56.920 --> 06:48:57.920
time.

06:48:57.920 --> 06:49:01.760
But it's where he is the third remaining player in all of this chaos.

06:49:01.760 --> 06:49:04.560
He knows the two guys are the grass through and towards shorts.

06:49:05.720 --> 06:49:11.160
Does he have the idea that there's a last man lurking towards be of all places?

06:49:11.360 --> 06:49:14.560
I think you should surely expect it.

06:49:14.560 --> 06:49:15.840
And he was there at the start of the round.

06:49:15.840 --> 06:49:18.720
Yeah, but we now enter into the conversation.

06:49:18.720 --> 06:49:21.040
Is he just saving to feel like he is.

06:49:21.040 --> 06:49:23.960
Yeah, 25 seconds as we cut to these replays.

06:49:24.040 --> 06:49:26.040
He's all the way in T spawn walking around.

06:49:26.040 --> 06:49:30.840
So I don't think he is going to be going for it and he should get away with that save

06:49:31.400 --> 06:49:34.440
It's the big thing, isn't it right? He wants the orb, of course

06:49:35.400 --> 06:49:37.880
Doesn't know how low some of these players are

06:49:38.440 --> 06:49:40.440
Yeah, it's that unconfirmed damage. I think it was only

06:49:41.320 --> 06:49:45.000
One of them in towards shore there understand that means we dealt some damage there

06:49:45.080 --> 06:49:48.120
They weren't 100% sure of like what the molly had done either, but

06:49:49.160 --> 06:49:51.160
Yeah, I think it's just not worth a fight

06:49:51.560 --> 06:49:53.560
So first time I was taken

06:49:53.560 --> 06:49:58.440
by spirits. Yeah, the other way than we were expecting. It's true. It's true. I will say

06:49:58.440 --> 06:50:01.800
though, I understand kind of why you want to go in towards this. I think the spirit, you don't want

06:50:01.800 --> 06:50:08.280
this, you know, this back and forth and kind of trading of bits of momentum. I want to get back

06:50:08.280 --> 06:50:12.440
into what we saw in towards Mirage where it never really felt in doubt. Like we kind of spoke

06:50:12.440 --> 06:50:16.760
well on that first off when spirit on the CT side for the majority of it never really felt like

06:50:16.760 --> 06:50:20.760
they were made to sweat. Really, there was a couple of rounds here, there are a couple of hiccups

06:50:20.760 --> 06:50:25.560
where it wasn't again the cleanest as we were putting it but they never felt like we're like oh okay

06:50:25.560 --> 06:50:30.760
This is actually a bit dicey here. You still close on the half eight eight to four and they kind of ran away with that t-side

06:50:31.000 --> 06:50:32.360
It doesn't feel the same here

06:50:32.360 --> 06:50:36.440
This half's a lot different in what we've seen in terms of the early approach. She too look a little bit more comfortable

06:50:36.440 --> 06:50:38.440
We're seeing a little bit more depth from them and

06:50:39.160 --> 06:50:44.600
I'm glad to see it. They haven't really taken a knock in terms of their confidence to fight from Mirage

06:50:44.600 --> 06:50:48.960
There was a world in which they're just losing a lot of aim rules. I was worried they were gonna sit back a lot in this game

06:50:48.960 --> 06:50:51.460
They haven't as we saw in our previous round

06:50:51.460 --> 06:50:56.460
That's a lovely way to start things off for sure and that's safe law comes in handy immediately. Yeah big

06:50:57.580 --> 06:51:01.980
And they are back with a vengeance here looking to just stay hot on those heels

06:51:05.140 --> 06:51:09.800
And a key starter like that is gonna leave G2 in a pretty rough position feel the

06:51:10.620 --> 06:51:15.580
5v4 early conversions like that are really really good on this too, so

06:51:15.580 --> 06:51:22.080
So, Spirit will certainly know how to close out from here, going to need a miracle hold

06:51:22.080 --> 06:51:26.880
on what we would presume is a given the plastering from Spirit.

06:51:26.880 --> 06:51:30.880
And it might be a very simple short dive as well.

06:51:30.880 --> 06:51:35.200
You can see no one really in the direction along right now, but we've seen this a couple

06:51:35.200 --> 06:51:36.280
of times already for Spirit.

06:51:36.280 --> 06:51:40.400
Even rounds lost where they take the short control, they plant four short and they just

06:51:40.400 --> 06:51:41.400
fall away.

06:51:41.400 --> 06:51:43.760
They don't really want to set up with any sort of long, they're more than happy to

06:51:43.760 --> 06:51:49.500
to give it off. Leave it, because they can just play. As we saw when Zontik stayed alive

06:51:49.500 --> 06:51:51.780
in the smoke, these sort of gimmicks that you can get away with.

06:51:51.780 --> 06:51:55.460
We're going for the late move, backing forwards mid. Now, this is a big risk. There's a lot

06:51:55.460 --> 06:51:59.980
of bodies here, but the trades are good. The thing is, do you expect two more round this

06:51:59.980 --> 06:52:02.940
corner? And I think, smartly, they're going to retract.

06:52:02.940 --> 06:52:09.340
They are indeed, and maybe force them to come at you. However, Matty's is in behind, and

06:52:09.340 --> 06:52:13.180
I think he's expecting it. But player in the lower tunnel, so Mac 10 making all the difference

06:52:13.180 --> 06:52:21.320
it's back into a two versus two. So G2 have kept this competitive despite going down to the early frag, all the anti flash.

06:52:21.320 --> 06:52:22.620
Bad time to turn.

06:52:22.620 --> 06:52:26.860
Heavy God was the healthy player. The main man gets taken down.

06:52:26.860 --> 06:52:32.460
Mattie's left to clutch up. He's deep into the lion's den here as he is looking for that first.

06:52:32.460 --> 06:52:38.220
He will get it. Spots out the second and it's going to need the double dinkery. Doesn't have the HP.

06:52:38.220 --> 06:52:43.820
Tanay takes him easily and it's a valiant effort from G2 but not valiant enough.

06:52:43.820 --> 06:52:47.980
And he didn't have the ammo either, only four bullets left in the chamber for him so he had to be

06:52:48.700 --> 06:52:51.900
more or less absolutely picture perfect and it was in the case.

06:52:52.460 --> 06:52:56.140
That very nearly fell apart, that flank is a nice move that comes through,

06:52:56.140 --> 06:53:01.420
it felt like the initial idea around mid could have and should have if they committed to it,

06:53:01.420 --> 06:53:05.260
completely crumbled that to the side round but thankfully they pulled back and

06:53:05.260 --> 06:53:08.340
And they go for the round that we were hoping they would go for.

06:53:08.340 --> 06:53:09.220
Just take short control.

06:53:09.220 --> 06:53:11.380
Numbers of Vantage goes a unit.

06:53:11.380 --> 06:53:13.780
Move on through, play in the close bond.

06:53:13.780 --> 06:53:15.500
And thankfully, that is the case.

06:53:15.500 --> 06:53:17.180
And before heavy guard as well, he's

06:53:17.180 --> 06:53:19.340
turning to look in towards short, expecting

06:53:19.340 --> 06:53:21.020
Donk won a round from that position earlier.

06:53:21.020 --> 06:53:23.860
So you're looking over there to see if he can catch a head.

06:53:23.860 --> 06:53:24.980
And he gets caught back turn.

06:53:24.980 --> 06:53:27.980
Speaking of heavy guards, we'll open up proceedings here.

06:53:27.980 --> 06:53:29.580
It's Donk to fall.

06:53:29.580 --> 06:53:31.740
Cheryl get one on his own, but the B site is lost.

06:53:31.740 --> 06:53:35.180
We know how difficult this site is to take.

06:53:35.180 --> 06:53:39.180
Little messy there by Magix, but it'll get the kill nonetheless.

06:53:39.180 --> 06:53:41.880
Oh my goodness, the wall of smokes.

06:53:41.880 --> 06:53:42.380
Oh!

06:53:42.380 --> 06:53:48.180
It seems giving you a path, but straight into the barrel of T'neer, ultimately.

06:53:48.180 --> 06:53:52.380
Shiro will once forward for that final kill, but I think it was locked in.

06:53:52.380 --> 06:53:54.180
One on four, it would have been.

06:53:55.180 --> 06:53:58.180
And the B-burst works effectively.

06:53:58.180 --> 06:53:59.980
Problematic.

06:53:59.980 --> 06:54:01.180
4G2.

06:54:01.180 --> 06:54:07.420
You know, as well as one of those things, it's a really nice thing, I think for yourself,

06:54:07.420 --> 06:54:10.980
for your spirit, just to prove, we've got to be here in the locker there, right?

06:54:10.980 --> 06:54:11.980
Yeah, for sure.

06:54:11.980 --> 06:54:14.260
And that just soars the seat of doubt now into G2.

06:54:14.260 --> 06:54:19.620
They've always got to be really kind of attuned to this heat core, even in this kind of tournament

06:54:19.620 --> 06:54:20.620
on the B stream.

06:54:20.620 --> 06:54:24.460
A couple of these B hits, but they're so janky that they just stop going back to B. And then

06:54:24.460 --> 06:54:28.020
it actually makes you really one-dimensional, really readable, and really easy to shut down

06:54:28.020 --> 06:54:29.020
on the T side.

06:54:29.020 --> 06:54:35.320
have got any kind of proven to themselves. Okay, we can actually take that site with really decent efficiency.

06:54:35.920 --> 06:54:39.400
That's where it keeps this map so open for you to maneuver around. Yeah.

06:54:39.640 --> 06:54:44.620
Yeah, and I think it's quite clever as well that it comes at the time that their economy is about to break.

06:54:44.620 --> 06:54:47.620
So kind of subconsciously as a player, you might be

06:54:48.300 --> 06:54:54.500
hesitant with your needs, might be looking to keep them for the retake, right, the important things in the round.

06:55:24.500 --> 06:55:29.700
the same. Stats are, stats at the end of the day. The first time I'm going to be taking here, IG2.

06:55:30.980 --> 06:55:33.940
We're going to have to flip side in terms of the timeouts for them. Obviously, they were

06:55:33.940 --> 06:55:38.980
6-0 down to starting towards Mirage. They burned two timeouts really early to then finally get

06:55:38.980 --> 06:55:42.660
their first on the board, and they used all three in that first half, and we critiqued it.

06:55:42.660 --> 06:55:47.860
It did come back to bite them this time. You could even maybe argue held on to a little bit long.

06:55:47.860 --> 06:55:52.100
I think maybe kind of a saw just wanted to see how it plays out, but you've now lost the lead,

06:55:52.100 --> 06:55:58.320
You've lost control and just still at risk of putting up essentially the exact same half score line that we had on Maraud

06:55:58.320 --> 06:56:01.600
The 8-4 is still absolutely a possibility for spirit

06:56:01.600 --> 06:56:04.280
You really feel like they're warming up into this game now

06:56:04.280 --> 06:56:10.060
This T side is starting to get a really decent read on what G2 are throwing at them and they're not being caught surprised

06:56:12.980 --> 06:56:16.300
So a big turning point here a key round for G2 I think to

06:56:16.300 --> 06:56:22.540
keep things even and stop that eight full school line from creeping through right into the back of your mind

06:56:23.100 --> 06:56:28.660
It's huge for their like morale. Yeah, you lose this and you actually start to enter into a position of a lot of pressure

06:56:28.660 --> 06:56:34.780
Yeah, I think it really could be the case. They've expended a lot of utility early on tea side being whilst loads left

06:56:35.860 --> 06:56:37.860
Simple simple stuff from them thus far

06:56:38.860 --> 06:56:44.300
Cuts awesome barrage as well. This one spirit love they love leaving these rounds like you draw that CT utility

06:56:44.300 --> 06:56:49.460
You get a little bit of a read, but it gives you so much in the postpon and we've even seen in this map

06:56:49.460 --> 06:56:51.580
How many rounds they've won just by chaining smokes?

06:56:54.420 --> 06:56:56.420
It's a bay on shore for now

06:56:58.540 --> 06:57:02.700
Will be a heavy B stack from G2. I say it's a quite bold call, hasn't it?

06:57:02.780 --> 06:57:07.220
I'd like to see them get aggressive over there, which they will do right a bit of a backup

06:57:07.220 --> 06:57:11.100
Maybe a flash. Yeah, yeah, okay, so it feels like things are pretty solid over there

06:57:11.100 --> 06:57:18.480
They've got two smokes left, one of which does find its way towards A, the other in towards mid, to flash for some players to have a look.

06:57:18.480 --> 06:57:24.100
So they're trying to take the aggressive stance, but unfortunately costs them a player.

06:57:24.100 --> 06:57:25.320
Smoke will still come in.

06:57:25.320 --> 06:57:30.400
Gonna buy even more time with nothing in the upper tunnels, about a minute in the round, with some pre-

06:57:31.720 --> 06:57:33.080
Doesn't show no A.

06:57:33.080 --> 06:57:38.420
It does appear that Spirit may well be walking into a trap here if they're not careful.

06:57:38.420 --> 06:57:38.920
Yeah.

06:57:38.920 --> 06:57:40.120
You have some spot on.

06:57:40.120 --> 06:57:42.840
It's up 30 seconds as we're making a moving break on that smoke.

06:57:42.840 --> 06:57:45.800
Try sending them forward with heavy guns here, ready to meet them.

06:57:46.840 --> 06:57:51.400
The issue is, trades go favourably for a brief moment towards that CT side,

06:57:51.400 --> 06:57:57.880
but it's still a 2 vs 3. Numbers in favour and already starting to get really quite concerning.

06:57:58.840 --> 06:58:00.760
Back and forth into that 1 vs 1.

06:58:01.720 --> 06:58:03.880
And with 7 seconds, there's just no real time here.

06:58:33.880 --> 06:58:40.880
and taking it a bit slow playing to their strengths, but unfortunately it does fall flat in the end.

06:58:42.880 --> 06:58:45.880
I don't know, I should have wanted that to right, I will.

06:58:46.880 --> 06:58:52.880
Matty just gets caught by the flash, it's a nice move, a nice idea, but Forty's timing was just a little bit off.

06:58:55.880 --> 06:58:58.880
But that spirit has been pretty good with getting that opening kill and then freezing.

06:58:58.880 --> 06:59:00.880
freezing. Yeah, for sure. It

06:59:00.880 --> 06:59:01.880
doesn't work for them in the

06:59:01.880 --> 06:59:02.880
previous round. So again, they

06:59:02.880 --> 06:59:03.880
just have to be a bit careful.

06:59:03.880 --> 06:59:04.880
And I think they have learned

06:59:04.880 --> 06:59:05.880
from their lessons. It's like,

06:59:05.880 --> 06:59:07.880
let's send one contingent out,

06:59:07.880 --> 06:59:08.880
and then we've got another one

06:59:08.880 --> 06:59:10.880
on the other side of the map.

06:59:10.880 --> 06:59:12.880
This contingent's found that

06:59:12.880 --> 06:59:14.880
B site. Yeah, just having some

06:59:14.880 --> 06:59:16.880
proactivity and you see Nerdy gets

06:59:16.880 --> 06:59:19.880
the Molly in. I mean,

06:59:19.880 --> 06:59:20.880
goes for it. I don't even know

06:59:20.880 --> 06:59:21.880
that he necessarily needs to be

06:59:21.880 --> 06:59:22.880
just fully trying to get

06:59:22.880 --> 06:59:24.880
attention towards him, I suppose.

06:59:24.880 --> 06:59:26.880
As of course, we knew Zontick's

06:59:26.880 --> 06:59:27.880
had slipped through. So that'll

06:59:27.880 --> 06:59:32.840
through so that'll be the round you can't even really blame nerds as well because he's there's

06:59:32.840 --> 06:59:36.680
a slight window where they've been caught and then moved across and he has no idea that they're

06:59:36.680 --> 06:59:44.440
actually out magics wow in the back lines how about three no just stolen away i'm biased and

06:59:44.440 --> 06:59:48.920
i isn't more of that little clip at the end but the question is kind of keep the opera live

06:59:51.160 --> 06:59:55.720
hang free for now looks like he's not tempted to swing there's so much time left on that

06:59:55.720 --> 06:59:58.360
and eventually he does make the move.

06:59:58.360 --> 07:00:02.160
Shiro is there. He's going to win that fight out every day of the week.

07:00:02.160 --> 07:00:03.880
And an immediate response from Spir.

07:00:03.880 --> 07:00:08.440
And it all just starts by two players who just go for a contact out towards B.

07:00:08.440 --> 07:00:10.800
And to their surprise, no one's home.

07:00:10.800 --> 07:00:11.960
Yeah, no, for sure.

07:00:11.960 --> 07:00:16.280
But I think, like I say, it's very similar to some of the moments that we've seen from them.

07:00:16.280 --> 07:00:20.080
But instead of all five players then getting together in the five on four,

07:00:20.080 --> 07:00:23.600
I haven't been like sending someone out mid to have a look there, right?

07:00:23.600 --> 07:00:28.040
Use the advantage, use the fact that there's going to be a gap somewhere on the map.

07:00:29.540 --> 07:00:31.040
And they do just that.

07:00:31.540 --> 07:00:34.440
He's nearly finding magic, he's ahead of one of them.

07:00:34.440 --> 07:00:37.540
It's hit by one, oh it's a dodgy flash baby.

07:00:38.240 --> 07:00:42.240
So they find themselves blinded, but one for one you'll probably take that on a lower

07:00:42.240 --> 07:00:45.240
by like this, you get your hands on an AK now.

07:00:45.540 --> 07:00:49.240
Get that into some healthier hands, the former nerds and try and put up your best

07:00:49.240 --> 07:00:51.740
fight here to keep things as even as possible.

07:00:51.740 --> 07:00:59.420
timing on that smoke into a shore but I'm gonna surprise that when magic spots a

07:00:59.420 --> 07:01:03.260
lot of presence out towards long they don't really take any other space they

07:01:03.260 --> 07:01:11.620
don't try and move to find other parts of the map and it hands for for magics

07:01:11.620 --> 07:01:16.140
call from the grave here my friend oh he's hiding his mouth while he's just

07:01:16.140 --> 07:01:21.340
in case we can liberate him yeah this is this is crazy depth to be fair they

07:01:21.340 --> 07:01:22.700
I don't know what I'm saying.

07:01:22.700 --> 07:01:24.060
There's no way.

07:01:24.060 --> 07:01:26.700
So bias up close.

07:01:26.700 --> 07:01:29.100
They do have a Molly to clear.

07:01:29.100 --> 07:01:30.420
She's going to go for a peek.

07:01:30.420 --> 07:01:31.140
Oh, my.

07:01:31.140 --> 07:01:33.060
Surely, surely dead here.

07:01:33.060 --> 07:01:33.940
Donkel swing.

07:01:33.940 --> 07:01:35.980
Tenir gets two, though.

07:01:35.980 --> 07:01:38.300
Makes up for earlier mistake and keeps

07:01:38.300 --> 07:01:40.660
the numbers in favor of this T side looking to close out

07:01:40.660 --> 07:01:43.620
the final round in style with a lead in the half.

07:01:43.620 --> 07:01:44.980
And they're doubling back towards B.

07:01:44.980 --> 07:01:46.460
Have you got a don't think spotted?

07:01:46.460 --> 07:01:47.740
And he can have a couple here.

07:01:47.740 --> 07:01:50.300
Gets two and a ding on towards Zontics.

07:01:50.300 --> 07:01:52.300
a 1 versus 1 against Nertz.

07:01:53.900 --> 07:01:55.400
And he can get this C4 down.

07:01:55.400 --> 07:01:58.500
Ops with a tap, 20 seconds, doesn't have a lot of time.

07:01:58.500 --> 07:02:00.900
Seconds out of asking, numbers punched in.

07:02:00.900 --> 07:02:03.100
But Nertz with the advantage on the HP.

07:02:03.100 --> 07:02:04.600
Does he have the advantage on the swing?

07:02:04.600 --> 07:02:05.900
Just about!

07:02:05.900 --> 07:02:09.600
The difference in HP is what makes the difference in that round.

07:02:09.600 --> 07:02:13.500
And by the skin of their teeth, G2 will tie up this half.

07:02:13.500 --> 07:02:14.900
6 apiece.

07:02:14.900 --> 07:02:16.700
We're gonna see you after the break.

07:05:20.300 --> 07:05:41.260
Welcome back in, we are ready for the second half of course, as just to getting well underway

07:05:41.260 --> 07:05:46.620
but remaining competitive, it felt like on map 1 Spirit were in the lead and had control

07:05:46.620 --> 07:05:52.340
and G2 relying on some lucky moments, but there was a genuine game out there from G2,

07:05:52.340 --> 07:05:56.260
so potentially keeping things alive here in this knockout series.

07:05:56.260 --> 07:06:01.740
Yeah, exactly. I'm really kind of interested now as we move in towards this second half.

07:06:01.740 --> 07:06:05.500
What changes for both these sides? I think for G2, like, they've proven enough already

07:06:05.500 --> 07:06:09.820
from that first half that they can contend and they can bring a little bit to the table,

07:06:09.820 --> 07:06:14.580
but for Spirit, you'd argue that it's just a couple rounds that they let slip sort of

07:06:14.580 --> 07:06:19.900
nothing right and they can clean up a couple of those moments I still value

07:06:19.900 --> 07:06:26.140
them as the side for me we got the full balder you took on towards magic to

07:06:26.140 --> 07:06:31.940
near a little bit himself do least out for dong he lost for him

07:06:31.940 --> 07:06:37.740
Lee Molly Cheryl played behind he's got a nice little gap to contend with but

07:06:37.740 --> 07:06:44.020
after a couple of miss shots he'll fall away yeah plays it safe and when we

07:06:44.020 --> 07:06:46.380
I would stop them all gaining bits of short controls.

07:06:46.380 --> 07:06:48.980
Most of them had to go down, they're not necessarily up on Xbox.

07:06:48.980 --> 07:06:50.180
So indeed, G2 are like,

07:06:50.180 --> 07:06:52.380
oh, we might get caught with our pants down here.

07:06:53.280 --> 07:06:55.080
Try and go for a different approach.

07:06:55.080 --> 07:06:57.720
And it will be more of a mid to B play here.

07:06:57.720 --> 07:06:58.880
It's a great flash.

07:06:59.720 --> 07:07:00.740
Eat some more of bait.

07:07:00.740 --> 07:07:04.240
Magics on the right lines, but not quite able to land anything.

07:07:04.740 --> 07:07:06.840
Just yet, Shiro gonna find the first.

07:07:06.840 --> 07:07:08.340
Dong dealt with.

07:07:09.180 --> 07:07:11.120
And it's down to just Xon-Tix on the site.

07:07:11.120 --> 07:07:12.020
He gets flattened.

07:07:12.020 --> 07:07:14.500
bomb should get planted here.

07:07:14.500 --> 07:07:15.340
Three versus three.

07:07:15.340 --> 07:07:17.260
And I mean, it's more about the retake.

07:07:17.260 --> 07:07:19.620
There's not really a lot of threat to it

07:07:19.620 --> 07:07:21.220
for that spirit side of things.

07:07:21.220 --> 07:07:24.180
Teneir coming in and tunnels.

07:07:24.180 --> 07:07:26.940
And it just, I don't know, it just doesn't look good to me.

07:07:26.940 --> 07:07:27.780
No, I agree.

07:07:29.900 --> 07:07:33.340
Just whether Teneir can find the back part player.

07:07:35.100 --> 07:07:38.060
Sampires, he did have a little peekhole.

07:07:38.060 --> 07:07:39.860
That's quick by Teneir.

07:07:39.860 --> 07:07:44.860
And he's looking for more as well, he gets the second, Shiro will dive out, but they can't find him.

07:07:44.860 --> 07:07:48.360
He's just staying alive and Matty's might have bought enough time.

07:07:48.360 --> 07:07:51.860
How in God's name does he stay alive for as long as he does?

07:07:51.860 --> 07:07:54.160
There's no kit, there's no chance.

07:07:54.160 --> 07:07:58.260
And Matty's shaking his head, but he bells them out there.

07:07:58.260 --> 07:08:02.060
The hero in that round, despite Taneer's antics from Tunnels.

07:08:02.060 --> 07:08:04.760
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Taneer has run out of ammo.

07:08:04.760 --> 07:08:09.160
He's the problem. Yeah, well, because he was running out with his knife,

07:08:09.160 --> 07:08:10.920
which just doesn't make any sense.

07:08:10.920 --> 07:08:11.860
No, you're probably right then.

07:08:11.860 --> 07:08:13.620
And I think from here...

07:08:16.320 --> 07:08:18.860
That's it, yeah. It doesn't go in for the reload, right?

07:08:18.860 --> 07:08:20.660
It doesn't go in for the automatic reload.

07:08:20.660 --> 07:08:22.760
So, yeah, he runs out of ammo

07:08:22.760 --> 07:08:24.820
and that kind of screws them really

07:08:24.820 --> 07:08:27.120
because they lose that man in the side

07:08:27.120 --> 07:08:29.260
and it becomes about the time.

07:08:29.260 --> 07:08:32.720
So, a really big find for G2 that it felt like

07:08:32.720 --> 07:08:33.920
indeed they were in good position

07:08:33.920 --> 07:08:35.420
and then all of a sudden,

07:08:35.420 --> 07:08:38.420
Tineir absolutely gave it to Spirit

07:08:38.420 --> 07:08:40.120
but they just couldn't convert it in the end.

07:08:40.120 --> 07:08:42.320
Unfortunately, going to go in for the four-spy now.

07:08:43.720 --> 07:08:47.520
I'm curious to see what spirit might have up their sleeve on

07:08:48.520 --> 07:08:51.020
the brick wall of the Dust2CT side.

07:08:53.920 --> 07:08:57.320
I lose this and there's a nice little pathway for G2.

07:08:59.120 --> 07:09:00.120
Build a wealth of a lead.

07:09:01.320 --> 07:09:02.520
Scaling up into one short.

07:09:03.720 --> 07:09:04.320
Nearly portioned.

07:09:04.320 --> 07:09:06.320
They've got more Utah.

07:09:06.320 --> 07:09:10.480
to fall back on, especially now that they've taken the space.

07:09:10.480 --> 07:09:18.560
Just drop an A, just to try and slow down the roll and the molly behind it as well.

07:09:18.560 --> 07:09:20.200
Scared about that diving towards the A site.

07:09:20.200 --> 07:09:22.920
But there is three towards A now.

07:09:22.920 --> 07:09:26.320
Two in towards long, and it's on ramp.

07:09:26.320 --> 07:09:31.080
So exactly, you know, a pretty awkward hold for G2 to kind of contend with, and first

07:09:31.080 --> 07:09:32.880
of all, it's also just figure out.

07:09:32.880 --> 07:09:34.780
Yeah, but that's sort of what

07:09:34.880 --> 07:09:35.780
they're doing, I suppose, sending

07:09:35.880 --> 07:09:36.780
the feelers out there. The smoke

07:09:36.880 --> 07:09:39.780
comes in in a defensive manner.

07:09:39.880 --> 07:09:41.780
Just trying to keep them distracted

07:09:41.880 --> 07:09:44.780
enough, but not quite all that

07:09:44.880 --> 07:09:45.780
loud, right? The B player's not

07:09:45.880 --> 07:09:46.780
going to move. There's a flank

07:09:46.880 --> 07:09:48.780
coming in from Taneir as well.

07:09:48.880 --> 07:09:49.780
So very ready for the B here,

07:09:49.880 --> 07:09:51.780
as ready as they can be. Magix

07:09:51.880 --> 07:09:53.780
goes rushing through, finds one

07:09:53.880 --> 07:09:55.780
with his 5-7, will be dealt with.

07:09:55.880 --> 07:09:57.780
Oh, man, it's a lovely little

07:09:57.880 --> 07:09:58.780
salve. The bomb's going to spill.

07:09:58.880 --> 07:10:00.780
The AK picked up. It's on tix

07:10:00.880 --> 07:10:02.780
denied anymore. Taneir, they know

07:10:02.880 --> 07:10:08.880
Well, Cheryl will make himself known with a kill, though. The two versus two, it's definitely doable.

07:10:08.880 --> 07:10:15.740
It's no care. Cheryl moves up onto an AK, so I kind of like how this looks. And what's

07:10:15.740 --> 07:10:19.580
he thinking? Is he fully rotating around? Are we really doing that? It looks like, I

07:10:19.580 --> 07:10:23.940
think it's what he's going to go for, but with no player in the tunnels, I think this

07:10:23.940 --> 07:10:28.580
just wastes your time, to be honest. And I think, like you mentioned, no care. It has

07:10:28.580 --> 07:10:37.580
become a soft save. So I don't know. Hey, it's a good exit play, though. It should be

07:10:37.580 --> 07:10:46.340
at least getting one more. They dive keeping attention drawn. Sure, it should be able to

07:10:46.340 --> 07:10:50.900
see a remaining two or see four. I get the last everyone dies.

07:10:50.900 --> 07:10:57.820
Yeah, with that being a force, I mean, I don't think G2 are too upset with that. To be honest,

07:10:57.820 --> 07:11:02.540
they know this next round's a bit of a gimmick. Yeah, so just do it. You just do it. I mean,

07:11:02.540 --> 07:11:06.380
they weren't a great money bill of themselves. So I think we're gonna have like a little

07:11:06.380 --> 07:11:11.020
maybe a Mac 10, something like this, but which is the flip side is, yeah, we've got a pistol.

07:11:11.020 --> 07:11:16.460
Yeah, I know. You should be able to make money off of this buy. So I think you just send it on.

07:11:17.100 --> 07:11:21.900
I don't know if you're not saving the AK, but it's not like I'm gonna do something with this

07:11:21.900 --> 07:11:28.140
next round. Try and do something in that round. Yeah. Right. Exactly. I think you just go

07:11:28.140 --> 07:11:34.820
for it, man. Yeah. Well, I need a damage. We'll catch nuts and tack.

07:11:34.820 --> 07:11:41.460
But if they're too bothered, they're scaling once again into wall short in the early round.

07:11:41.460 --> 07:11:43.740
Xbox smoke just faded.

07:11:43.740 --> 07:11:49.580
I think still needs to cross. It's nice to move here by it's near. The unfortunate thing

07:11:49.580 --> 07:11:54.940
is just that no one's really going there at the moment. Have you got waiting for a swing

07:11:54.940 --> 07:11:59.940
from them? And at the same time, they're moving quite quickly now in towards the A site. Molly

07:11:59.940 --> 07:12:04.940
down background, they've still not seen any sort of response. So the Cogs start to work

07:12:04.940 --> 07:12:07.100
and they realize that actually no one's home.

07:12:07.100 --> 07:12:12.340
Yeah, so it becomes once again about doing damage for the side of the spirit. They really,

07:12:12.340 --> 07:12:17.820
I think, wanted to capitalize a few more greater pistols than you might expect to near two

07:12:17.820 --> 07:12:21.540
rounds in a row by the way he's been able to walk out long like that. I think he heard

07:12:21.540 --> 07:12:24.740
how he got to rotate and it looked like he moved immediately when he got to step into

07:12:24.740 --> 07:12:30.220
join him towards A. Yeah, but certainly something that you took after bearing mind is that Tanira

07:12:30.220 --> 07:12:37.340
has got a great sense of how to run things over there towards long quick break. Not going

07:12:37.340 --> 07:12:42.740
to happen on short unfortunately. Another one though for the five seven so couple of

07:12:42.740 --> 07:13:02.740
I don't think he's quite going to get it. No one coming his way, unfortunately, so he will look to back off, but it keeps the econ way down for G2. Yeah, three round lead. Close in an instant if this next round doesn't go that way. Yeah, it absolutely keeps things manageable.

07:13:02.740 --> 07:13:04.740
And I guess that's the main thing for them

07:13:06.940 --> 07:13:09.300
Even still nice little Buffett to have

07:13:09.900 --> 07:13:12.220
But a nine to six three rounds ahead

07:13:12.940 --> 07:13:18.860
Even if your money is a little weird just having that breathing room the G2 on your opponent's map pick is pretty huge at the moment

07:13:20.620 --> 07:13:25.460
I'm still pretty tough for spirit on their own map pick. They're not looking

07:13:26.260 --> 07:13:31.620
Super comfortable at the moment, but now was a chance to really get into it first proper gun round where they could start

07:13:31.620 --> 07:13:37.620
building up a bit of that CT side and showing what they're all about, showering towards the AWP and rifles alongside it.

07:13:39.620 --> 07:13:43.620
Lackle continued to wield the Mach 10 here with Matty's on the Galil.

07:13:46.620 --> 07:13:50.620
Guess where's Kitchener, just around here's the 4th flat, they've still got money to buy in towards the next.

07:13:51.620 --> 07:13:53.620
Big damage onto Matty's here.

07:14:23.620 --> 07:14:28.500
two immediate on the site and today who's been a bit of a nuisance towards long

07:14:28.500 --> 07:14:34.460
will hold for that continuously over and at the feet of nerds can't find the head

07:14:34.460 --> 07:14:38.960
with just a pixel to work with off the box now they know what's going on magic

07:14:38.960 --> 07:14:43.740
shiro combined as he looks for another in the output deliver potentially even a

07:14:43.740 --> 07:14:47.340
third to four backup but he is tagged doesn't need to over fight and the

07:14:47.340 --> 07:14:53.180
rotations are sharp by spirit there's that third by shiro the last man

07:14:53.180 --> 07:14:56.280
the game. It's a very clean

07:14:56.280 --> 07:14:57.780
round. And again, it does

07:14:57.780 --> 07:14:58.780
really speak to like, you see

07:14:58.780 --> 07:14:59.980
the whole plan kind of

07:14:59.980 --> 07:15:01.480
unfolding that. Yes, they lost

07:15:01.480 --> 07:15:03.180
the pistol, but the way that

07:15:03.180 --> 07:15:04.280
they played it was for this

07:15:04.280 --> 07:15:05.780
rifle round. They find it very

07:15:05.780 --> 07:15:07.480
cleanly. They've got a great

07:15:07.480 --> 07:15:09.480
read. Maybe they play like the

07:15:09.480 --> 07:15:11.280
antithesis of what they would

07:15:11.280 --> 07:15:13.180
usually do and G two and not

07:15:13.180 --> 07:15:15.280
prepared for that. And it ends

07:15:15.280 --> 07:15:17.180
up being a flawless round and

07:15:17.180 --> 07:15:19.080
you see where the money goes

07:15:19.080 --> 07:15:21.380
for G two, so. Win out this

07:15:21.380 --> 07:15:25.940
force by which is we would give them that advantage been a couple of force by conversions here so it

07:15:25.940 --> 07:15:29.860
certainly could happen to you too but spirit with that and then it's an eco then you're 99 you got

07:15:29.860 --> 07:15:36.900
one more rifle and you can start knocking on the door to the two zero right so one round really

07:15:36.900 --> 07:15:44.020
has made all of the difference here and they're just holding the line beautifully again very well

07:15:44.020 --> 07:15:51.020
red G2 with the quick burst

07:15:51.020 --> 07:15:53.020
towards middle. Been waited

07:15:53.020 --> 07:15:55.020
for and successfully held by

07:15:55.020 --> 07:15:56.020
spirit. I don't know how to

07:15:56.020 --> 07:15:57.020
change up because today has

07:15:57.020 --> 07:15:59.020
been that kind of long pit

07:15:59.020 --> 07:16:00.020
player. Yeah, very, very

07:16:00.020 --> 07:16:02.020
charity at the CT side. And

07:16:02.020 --> 07:16:03.020
this time just based on the

07:16:03.020 --> 07:16:04.020
spawn, you know, you know, you

07:16:04.020 --> 07:16:05.020
can get out in through door

07:16:05.020 --> 07:16:06.020
and set himself up and

07:16:06.020 --> 07:16:09.020
towards short. It's nice work.

07:16:09.020 --> 07:16:12.020
Honestly, the dynamic nature

07:16:12.020 --> 07:16:13.020
of dust to you might not

07:16:13.020 --> 07:16:17.940
heavily play off of those spawns. Can change up your position. You can go B for a round

07:16:17.940 --> 07:16:23.540
if you want, even though typically you find yourself in pit or as an anchor, you can really

07:16:23.540 --> 07:16:28.740
change things up depending on the direction of the wind.

07:16:28.740 --> 07:16:33.380
And the thing is he's making up for what at the moment is. Don thinks he's struggling

07:16:33.380 --> 07:16:38.580
to really get involved into this 4-on-11 for him, but also Don Kubai, his standard is missing.

07:16:38.580 --> 07:16:42.700
He's really not looking as sharp as what we usually expect. So it's near finding a

07:16:42.700 --> 07:16:47.340
to form him and Cheryl have been excellent. Magi's had a nice couple of moments too.

07:16:48.780 --> 07:16:56.220
That's keeping spirit in contention for this map on the 2-0. Alpha G2,

07:16:57.020 --> 07:17:00.940
quite a damning position. Of course, that save AK will come through. I don't think Heavy Goz

07:17:00.940 --> 07:17:06.700
is going to be hunted here at the tail end. But you're all looking at now what is,

07:17:06.700 --> 07:17:10.380
no money to reinvest in towards the next round. That was a forced by the forced flat.

07:17:10.380 --> 07:17:17.380
that. And this lead is going to

07:17:17.380 --> 07:17:18.380
be all but lost most likely. I've

07:17:18.380 --> 07:17:20.380
been looking at attack time out

07:17:20.380 --> 07:17:22.380
either into words this position

07:17:22.380 --> 07:17:23.380
here or in before like our next

07:17:23.380 --> 07:17:28.380
investment. Just goes to show

07:17:28.380 --> 07:17:30.380
I mean spirit a world class team

07:17:30.380 --> 07:17:33.380
on this map. And very much

07:17:33.380 --> 07:17:37.380
proving it. Yeah, I think it's

07:17:37.380 --> 07:17:39.380
even at 75% like they're still

07:17:39.380 --> 07:17:45.600
you look at here is, again, Donk is not frying and lighting up the scoreboard. If anything,

07:17:45.600 --> 07:17:52.260
he is a little bit detrimental. Yeah, you know, please don't come after me. But he's

07:17:52.260 --> 07:17:57.340
not having lights out performance. That's another thing that Spirit are kind of having

07:17:57.340 --> 07:18:03.340
to deal with. That's a huge fine. That's the danger man dropped early to near kind of spoken

07:18:03.340 --> 07:18:07.660
and so his praise is about how much of a nuisance he's been towards long. Now he's falling flat

07:18:07.660 --> 07:18:13.580
to match this. No, he's not. Thankfully, he does give it just a little glance and nuts.

07:18:13.580 --> 07:18:19.340
Can't deliver anything. You still got heavy gun on that safe AK now and M4 scooped up

07:18:19.340 --> 07:18:23.400
for Matty's. It's still a little dangerous in the four versus four, but from a position

07:18:23.400 --> 07:18:27.700
like this, especially considering there's only one guy with armor, you shouldn't be

07:18:27.700 --> 07:18:32.940
struggling. It looks like Don could be tested in due time.

07:18:32.940 --> 07:18:37.400
Yeah, I mean we called him out a little bit on Mirage, but when put under pressure

07:18:38.200 --> 07:18:41.260
He seemed to thrive so might be another opportunity

07:18:42.100 --> 07:18:46.220
To show that or are they going to sadly pivot away? I think they are indeed

07:18:47.220 --> 07:18:51.660
Gonna pivot away heavy God's got himself out long. He does get dropped

07:18:52.900 --> 07:18:59.340
I don't think there's much else to this then just really looking for a cheeky unlikely gap

07:18:59.340 --> 07:19:03.220
You know what? It's on six was nearly it. It does go down. So there's damage done

07:19:03.720 --> 07:19:09.100
Some pious maybe not gonna happen for him though. So I'll see it off nine to nine the big round on

07:19:10.020 --> 07:19:15.820
The cards now and as we said we want to see a timeout coming into this one for G2. It's very very important

07:19:15.820 --> 07:19:17.820
They will indeed

07:19:18.820 --> 07:19:21.620
That timeout going well, it's all on the mic

07:19:21.620 --> 07:19:25.660
I was just kind of waiting a second see you know if he was gonna be more vocal or not. Yeah

07:19:25.660 --> 07:19:31.120
Yeah, I mean, I think they really kind of look to him. I mean, of course, especially with the absence of Hunter like he

07:19:31.120 --> 07:19:36.540
Yeah, this is then becomes like the complete leader right in a sense. Like we're really looking to him to

07:19:37.160 --> 07:19:39.000
dig them out of this hole

07:19:39.000 --> 07:19:41.320
One thing in that previous round as when I mentioned that

07:19:41.500 --> 07:19:46.420
John takes his timing when he doubles back towards B to resmoke and it just hit more force into kind of pivot way

07:19:46.420 --> 07:19:51.420
They know they don't have the use of the pop through that smoke. It's just a death trap. So really really nice work from him

07:19:51.420 --> 07:19:55.180
It's something quite subtle, but it just changed the game from them. They're just caught in transition

07:19:55.180 --> 07:19:58.860
They're like diving out mid late into that round with no real game plan

07:20:04.740 --> 07:20:05.940
It was

07:20:05.940 --> 07:20:07.900
Aloh by with the save a case

07:20:07.900 --> 07:20:12.700
We're not gonna expect loads, but of course with that save they came then nothing we found in that round

07:20:12.740 --> 07:20:17.540
Have you guys only got a Mac 10 here as we are tied square nine rounds apiece

07:20:17.540 --> 07:20:24.220
the back of their time out G2 you lose this round and you're actually in serious trouble.

07:20:24.220 --> 07:20:31.260
And it doesn't start well. Donk on the secondary will open up proceedings towards B.

07:20:31.260 --> 07:20:36.580
Yeah still wanting to get into the conversation and he does it on the big green.

07:20:36.580 --> 07:20:42.740
He's trying to move himself up with a really big kill. Heavy impact.

07:20:42.740 --> 07:20:48.940
the top frag are gone as well. Yeah. We're on the G2 side so looking really really effective

07:20:48.940 --> 07:20:53.900
and I think should be able to convert from here you would assume G2 gonna have their

07:20:53.900 --> 07:21:01.500
work cut out for them. On again that's slightly lesser by missing all the extras around the

07:21:01.500 --> 07:21:08.100
edges. They're still gonna try and hit me. So much util as well. Over towards the CT side.

07:21:08.100 --> 07:21:12.440
There's someone that can come through a lurksmoke, come down and you just drop a molly in behind.

07:21:12.440 --> 07:21:14.440
Slow them down immediately.

07:21:14.440 --> 07:21:18.840
Smoked, go deep into those tunnels again, which is something they're going to have to work around.

07:21:18.840 --> 07:21:25.440
The more time they waste here, the less effective their lurksmoke is, which is now starting and has faded.

07:21:25.440 --> 07:21:29.360
And if it's onto a spam that catches some players, that's the game playing gone.

07:21:29.360 --> 07:21:30.860
I think you just have to save it.

07:21:30.860 --> 07:21:31.860
Yeah, for sure.

07:21:31.860 --> 07:21:36.260
I mean, look, it stinks because you've got Donk on like a contact orb,

07:21:36.260 --> 07:21:39.220
Just catching you on an aggressive angle. Yeah

07:21:39.900 --> 07:21:47.000
Sure a small oversight. There's like there's no flash. It's not something they go for it's not something that even like shiro likes doing as

07:21:47.180 --> 07:21:49.180
An orper are those types of plays

07:21:49.740 --> 07:21:55.360
So really quite clever from donkey in that sense and then you get spammed through the smoke for the second kill agreed

07:21:55.360 --> 07:21:58.940
So it's like great, you know, what can I do about that? What have I done wrong?

07:21:58.940 --> 07:22:07.940
In hindsight, I maybe could have held the most passive angle possible in upper tunnels, but like, it's really difficult kills to deal with.

07:22:07.940 --> 07:22:14.940
Yeah, it's two really small things, because you know, that first one, you know, essentially, all two of those are like, you know, shit happens, right?

07:22:14.940 --> 07:22:20.940
You go into a peek, it's like, it's the first time we see the secondary ult come out from Spirit, so it's like, it's unfortunate, it happens.

07:22:20.940 --> 07:22:23.940
But then that second kill, that's just so unfortunate.

07:22:23.940 --> 07:22:29.400
So it's things you can't really kind of like account for that much maybe the first one a bit more so that second one

07:22:29.400 --> 07:22:30.780
That's just that's unlucky

07:22:30.780 --> 07:22:36.980
But even without that spam kill, it was just still so much you till there Molly's smokes that would have been replenished

07:22:36.980 --> 07:22:40.200
It would have been such an awkward died and they spent way too long

07:22:40.200 --> 07:22:44.020
You get your lurk smoke out on towards B and then you don't do anything with it

07:22:44.020 --> 07:22:47.060
So it just fades by the time you can even make use of it

07:22:48.620 --> 07:22:51.260
That's the same way break on the smoke

07:23:21.260 --> 07:23:26.780
maybe heard but it doesn't really give you all that much you know of course they're gonna be hanging around Xbox

07:23:26.780 --> 07:23:30.140
It's pretty conventional. It's just a question of how many of them?

07:23:31.020 --> 07:23:35.180
Moving up into these angles 45 seconds now not a lot of time

07:23:36.620 --> 07:23:39.820
Diggs loses his head as tax spotted him

07:23:41.020 --> 07:23:46.700
First and takes him on the second. There's still just not a lot of time and couple players not quite in position just yet

07:23:46.700 --> 07:23:51.180
It's a good molly though and a second behind it that I'll slow down to here.

07:23:51.180 --> 07:23:53.180
Now that's the one that changed this round.

07:23:53.180 --> 07:23:54.380
They will come through towards short.

07:23:54.380 --> 07:23:56.180
It should do a decent amount of damage.

07:23:56.180 --> 07:24:00.300
It does, but it's surely in a spot like this not going to make a difference.

07:24:00.300 --> 07:24:05.020
And as Magix falls, that's the round itself falling into place for G2.

07:24:05.020 --> 07:24:06.780
The real mistake there comes from Taneir.

07:24:06.780 --> 07:24:10.540
An overextension and basically an unnecessary swing there.

07:24:10.540 --> 07:24:11.340
And that's it.

07:24:11.340 --> 07:24:13.620
He's meant to be the insurance quality to cut rotations.

07:24:13.620 --> 07:24:17.620
Instead, he gives them the pathway to shut out that A-side.

07:24:17.620 --> 07:24:21.320
Matties will fall, but it doesn't make a difference.

07:24:21.320 --> 07:24:24.820
An over-face and over-fight.

07:24:24.820 --> 07:24:27.220
That'll be G2 time. This game up 10 rounds apiece.

07:24:27.220 --> 07:24:27.920
Sure.

07:24:27.920 --> 07:24:32.020
There's life still left in this side.

07:24:32.020 --> 07:24:33.220
It's definitely safe to say.

07:24:33.220 --> 07:24:37.020
I think it does feel like individual mistakes,

07:24:37.020 --> 07:24:40.920
but more of a round that Spirit lost.

07:24:40.920 --> 07:24:50.280
kills came to g2. That would be my only kind of nitpick, uh, criticism. But yeah, I mean,

07:24:50.280 --> 07:24:55.960
maybe look, you know, Teneir also has activated from long quite a lot. So perhaps you read

07:24:55.960 --> 07:25:00.600
there is to just make sure you've always got a player over there looking on the timing,

07:25:00.600 --> 07:25:06.040
which they seem to have really down is that it takes that peak. Well, it's just all out

07:25:06.040 --> 07:25:10.320
of whack. You know, you've got Teneir pushing, you've got magics hiding on the site, shiro

07:25:10.320 --> 07:25:16.320
on like a contact or really really really risky move and they're just not together in any way on

07:25:16.320 --> 07:25:18.000
that A-bomb site. Yeah.

07:25:20.160 --> 07:25:22.400
Bunker keep hold of that secondary orb.

07:25:25.360 --> 07:25:30.720
I don't seem to get him on towards the rifle and get proactive but at least from the shot we

07:25:30.720 --> 07:25:34.960
saw earlier the issue is they're just not really going to be. So Dong's not being tested all too often.

07:26:10.320 --> 07:26:14.780
And indeed they get that made down at the absolute perfect time.

07:26:14.780 --> 07:26:18.580
Yeah, and then a second behind it as well just to add insult to injury on Heavy God.

07:26:18.580 --> 07:26:20.580
It's brilliant. It really is.

07:26:20.580 --> 07:26:23.080
Makes them so vulnerable in this round now.

07:26:24.420 --> 07:26:26.180
I mean Magic Store's another HE.

07:26:26.180 --> 07:26:27.180
Speaking of...

07:26:27.180 --> 07:26:28.780
Here it is. Get a kill.

07:26:28.780 --> 07:26:30.780
Touchdown. On to attack.

07:26:30.780 --> 07:26:32.780
Brilliant.

07:26:32.780 --> 07:26:37.480
The use all so far has been sublime from Spirit. There's only 30 seconds left.

07:26:37.480 --> 07:26:41.760
It looks like they might have to just sort of slightly panicked for a late dive into Jose.

07:26:42.120 --> 07:26:47.160
Yeah, Molly in the way. They can get a player down and into CT, just about.

07:26:47.400 --> 07:26:50.760
They are going to quickly pivot back towards B, but the B players are ready.

07:26:50.760 --> 07:26:55.000
Don Quid demiss on the orb, the uncomfortable orb potentially.

07:26:55.000 --> 07:26:56.040
They're going to close that gap.

07:26:56.040 --> 07:26:59.800
T'Near goes down, so the B hold really does have to find success.

07:26:59.800 --> 07:27:02.320
Matisse falls, and that's the big kill.

07:27:02.480 --> 07:27:06.680
It's all the rotators there going down, man, but they cannot break into B.

07:27:06.680 --> 07:27:12.680
and just about able to hold. It's

07:27:12.680 --> 07:27:14.680
Zontics to bail out Donk, who

07:27:14.680 --> 07:27:16.680
misses a shot. And even Tim, it's

07:27:16.680 --> 07:27:18.680
like, whoa, that was a big one.

07:27:18.680 --> 07:27:20.680
That was a sitter, which I don't

07:27:20.680 --> 07:27:22.680
usually do. And also the fact

07:27:22.680 --> 07:27:24.680
that I miss it means that they

07:27:24.680 --> 07:27:26.680
really close that gap into be

07:27:26.680 --> 07:27:29.680
Zontics, the quiet man, the

07:27:29.680 --> 07:27:32.680
journeyman, the pack mule at times

07:27:32.680 --> 07:27:34.680
of this team bails them out in a

07:27:34.680 --> 07:27:39.840
And as well, not even just the Citimus by Donkeys and put on the angle and towards tunnels and then get some swung

07:27:40.440 --> 07:27:46.160
So I think he's not like I'm done with the old but I'm gonna go back to my comfort right back on towards there

07:27:46.160 --> 07:27:50.700
The rifle and he gets the AK as well, which is even more of a benefit benefit to have

07:27:51.520 --> 07:27:53.520
but a final timeout

07:27:54.060 --> 07:27:56.060
4g to

07:27:57.240 --> 07:28:01.860
You know for damn sure that they are running out of time here

07:28:01.860 --> 07:28:07.980
not only in this map, not only in this series, but in this tournament, I lost here means elimination

07:28:08.620 --> 07:28:12.180
It means of course, look in your spot into what was that quarterfinals

07:28:12.780 --> 07:28:17.340
Yeah, I mean the high the big thing for G2 as well is I think that's been read is their

07:28:17.740 --> 07:28:21.060
Control room as it were their pivot point is short

07:28:21.060 --> 07:28:25.540
And I think that they they won from there in the round prior to that one

07:28:25.540 --> 07:28:28.820
Yeah, and then in that round they just go there again. It's far too predictable

07:28:28.820 --> 07:28:33.820
They've got the pace massively here, though, out into towards middle, Donk somewhat ready.

07:28:33.820 --> 07:28:40.420
He does find one, Zontik's in a great spot, and heavy God walks straight into that cross-era rather, jumps straight into it.

07:28:40.420 --> 07:28:46.920
Zontik's still around, as to be expected, Sunpires finds his, and Zontik's no heroics this time.

07:28:46.920 --> 07:28:51.420
Three HP on Nerts might be the only difference they need.

07:28:51.420 --> 07:28:54.920
It's Sunpires, though, the annoyance into towards middle.

07:28:54.920 --> 07:28:57.920
Making the difference would have been a great naid, but Magik's Ops

07:28:58.640 --> 07:29:02.680
Not to release it at this time. They've got money to buy into us an extra round

07:29:03.720 --> 07:29:06.360
I'd be giving this a go and especially now of that naid

07:29:07.320 --> 07:29:10.960
They still don't look convinced and they're so worried about a flank

07:29:11.600 --> 07:29:14.960
We've got a buy-in towards the next round. I'd be giving this one a look in oh

07:29:15.720 --> 07:29:18.760
Just a bit faster just a little bit faster than

07:29:19.800 --> 07:29:21.000
waiting

07:29:21.000 --> 07:29:26.720
Until they feel absolutely ready and unfortunately that gives too much time to G2 for that Sunpire's flank. I think

07:29:27.400 --> 07:29:34.080
Bangier flashes over the top and get in there, but we know that they'll now know that that was the move

07:29:34.080 --> 07:29:40.720
But unfortunately just nervous getting into that site. Also just what a ball's he called to make off the back of that tech time out

07:29:40.720 --> 07:29:46.840
You are flying out the bulls. No xbox smoke. No door smoke. They hadn't even got the CT smoke down

07:29:46.840 --> 07:29:52.360
the high boulder is sent out as a mercenary and to just to try and do what he can and he does

07:29:52.360 --> 07:29:57.160
excellently you fly on towards the fight you go for a real punchy round to split towards B

07:29:58.120 --> 07:30:03.880
it's a big call to make it's super bold from g2 but it'll tie this game up

07:30:06.520 --> 07:30:13.160
don't think it's just an mp9 for him shiro gets his AWP rifles across the board for the rest and

07:30:13.160 --> 07:30:15.680
and fair decent amount of util as well.

07:30:17.120 --> 07:30:21.880
The issue is, you look at both sides, sets of finances.

07:30:21.880 --> 07:30:24.560
We generally like to consider this a swing round here.

07:30:26.080 --> 07:30:28.160
Not the best flash, but they managed to work their way out.

07:30:28.160 --> 07:30:29.120
There's nobody around anyway.

07:30:29.120 --> 07:30:32.400
It's Shiro on the corner angle here,

07:30:32.400 --> 07:30:33.360
who needs checking.

07:30:33.360 --> 07:30:35.840
Those flushers do not get anywhere near him.

07:30:35.840 --> 07:30:37.480
Is there a Molly with his name on?

07:30:37.480 --> 07:30:40.840
Not quite yet, and he will keep on dragging.

07:30:40.840 --> 07:30:42.440
Shiro does not miss.

07:30:42.440 --> 07:30:47.940
You have to force him out of his hidey-hole, and they will burn him alive, but I think enough has been done.

07:30:48.440 --> 07:30:59.940
All on nerds, he's alone, he's found out, and he's finished off as Spirits will be the first to threaten the map series and knock out point against G2 here.

07:30:59.940 --> 07:31:06.140
That is huge, and even more so as well, not even just getting the round, it's the fashion in which Spirits get the round.

07:31:06.140 --> 07:31:08.340
No bomb plot for G2.

07:31:08.340 --> 07:31:12.340
I said coming in towards that round, this is what we consider a swing round, because it means

07:31:12.340 --> 07:31:18.660
that the residual cash left over is not great, and a few things really have to go right to be able to squeeze out a buy to follow it.

07:31:19.660 --> 07:31:25.820
Man, alive. You can see what the knock-on effect is, and Cheryl full-blank does not affect him.

07:31:26.060 --> 07:31:27.500
Matty's will hit the deck.

07:31:28.580 --> 07:31:37.260
Four alive, Cougar leels, a deagle, and an AK-47 in the hands of Nurtz to keep G2 alive here in IEM Rio 2026.

07:31:37.260 --> 07:31:41.640
But Spirit, they might just pick them at the post on their map pick.

07:31:41.640 --> 07:31:45.560
It wasn't exactly the most comfortable of showings, but late in towards this.

07:31:45.560 --> 07:31:49.440
Similar to what we saw in Mirage, they've picked their time to come alive.

07:31:50.260 --> 07:31:54.500
Is there anything left in the tank for G2?

07:31:54.500 --> 07:31:56.100
Anything left in the locker?

07:31:58.260 --> 07:31:59.840
Special to buy like this.

07:31:59.840 --> 07:32:00.760
One minute 10.

07:32:00.760 --> 07:32:02.760
to go back to the default of

07:32:02.760 --> 07:32:04.760
let's just pivot around short

07:32:04.760 --> 07:32:06.760
and hope for the best. Last

07:32:06.760 --> 07:32:10.760
time they met. There's a crack

07:32:10.760 --> 07:32:14.760
out on this map. It went to

07:32:14.760 --> 07:32:16.760
overtime. So I think we may

07:32:16.760 --> 07:32:18.760
well have the possibility of it

07:32:18.760 --> 07:32:20.760
as due to will believe in

07:32:20.760 --> 07:32:22.760
themselves to take it. They did

07:32:22.760 --> 07:32:24.760
lose it, but it could take it

07:32:24.760 --> 07:32:26.760
to the overtime once again.

07:32:26.760 --> 07:32:31.560
to take it. They did lose it, but it could take it to the overtime once again. Can they

07:32:31.560 --> 07:32:38.680
do it from behind though is the problem? It's all about the A bombsite. It's all about

07:32:38.680 --> 07:32:43.200
the short approach. They've been big fans of it. The drop into CT though. They go for

07:32:43.200 --> 07:32:48.120
this move again. Baking things out. That smoke will work for them. The B hold looked good

07:32:48.120 --> 07:32:53.120
last time. Will it be the same here? It's Donk. You've got to get through. Not the guy

07:32:53.120 --> 07:32:59.320
You want to be dealing with them the CT smoke went down from behind and they will be demolished for the two zero

07:32:59.320 --> 07:33:05.040
It's heartbreak for G2 and they will be knocked out here playoffs secured for spirit

07:33:05.040 --> 07:33:11.440
However, I think they did play the better counter strike throughout. It's just unfortunate D2 comes so close for G2

07:33:11.560 --> 07:33:17.840
They will be kicking themselves. Yeah, absolutely credit to them right at that tail end for spirit

07:33:17.840 --> 07:33:21.280
They find the form required and they see off the series.

07:33:21.280 --> 07:33:23.280
We have to get farewell to G2,

07:33:23.280 --> 07:33:26.520
but Spirit will put their spots in towards the quarter-final.

07:33:27.520 --> 07:33:30.080
Now that question still arises for them.

07:33:30.080 --> 07:33:33.400
How deep can this side actually go at the moment?

07:33:33.400 --> 07:33:35.880
Yeah, I think it's a very fair question,

07:33:35.880 --> 07:33:40.400
as things are, you know, difficult to predict for Spirit.

07:33:40.400 --> 07:33:43.080
We're seeing some interesting things come in, you know,

07:33:43.080 --> 07:33:47.200
in terms of like, Donk, in terms of Tenir stepping up,

07:33:47.200 --> 07:33:54.080
But also, I think some of the calling and certainly how to use the pieces has changed and

07:33:54.960 --> 07:33:59.560
As it changed for the better. I think there's still the jury out on that one for sure

07:33:59.560 --> 07:34:04.500
But you take down g2 here in two-zero fashion. That's to be expected one close mark

07:34:04.500 --> 07:34:07.060
That's to be expected and g2 unfortunately

07:34:07.440 --> 07:34:12.200
The reality of it may be that if they had hunter if they had a bit more prep time on the stand-in, etc

07:34:12.760 --> 07:34:15.940
It could have been a better showing because for those that don't know hunter

07:34:15.940 --> 07:34:20.860
like just wrecked his ankle, so I don't think it was necessarily one that they

07:34:20.860 --> 07:34:24.220
would have been ready for in terms of standing. Sometimes you do know way

07:34:24.220 --> 07:34:28.300
ahead of time. No, exactly. I mean, even with kind of like passion your way and

07:34:28.300 --> 07:34:30.500
sends you not being able to play, it's like they probably would have got a

07:34:30.500 --> 07:34:34.140
decent bit of heads up. Okay, this is not going to work. We do think they're standing,

07:34:34.140 --> 07:34:37.820
but yeah, this is probably somewhat last minute. It's a little bit unfortunate. I

07:34:37.820 --> 07:34:40.460
don't think TAC did bad. You know, he's playing kind of tough roles and he's

07:34:40.460 --> 07:34:44.060
flustered and probably sent me last minute here as well. I don't think this

07:34:44.060 --> 07:34:48.460
tournament considering the you know all the narrative around it with the stand

07:34:48.460 --> 07:34:51.340
in a while I don't think it's terrible like you know for them they showed some

07:34:51.340 --> 07:34:54.540
decent moments you know they take down gentle mates granted dropping them up

07:34:54.540 --> 07:34:57.660
there is probably not all we want but you take a map of vitality that's not

07:34:57.660 --> 07:35:02.220
terrible and you know you even pushed in the distance spirit there on DOS2

07:35:02.220 --> 07:35:05.580
which of course you know how generally quite scary they are on that map pick

07:35:05.580 --> 07:35:08.540
but ultimately speaking I don't think they probably had the highest

07:35:08.540 --> 07:35:11.340
expectations like if they got to playoffs that'd be an odd great like you

07:35:11.340 --> 07:35:16.760
You know, we made it to playoffs with a standing minimal amount of prep to slot them in towards these roles and whatnot

07:35:16.760 --> 07:35:20.760
I'm obviously quite big shoes to fill not only obviously with what under us for the calling

07:35:20.760 --> 07:35:24.540
But he actually does bring a lot in terms of the numbers department too. So it's a big guy to lose

07:35:24.700 --> 07:35:30.620
So I think the G2 as much as obviously he's going to be annoying not going in towards the playoffs and not being able to play in front

07:35:30.620 --> 07:35:34.820
Of the crowd. I still don't think it's a terrible tournament for them considering the circumstances

07:35:34.820 --> 07:35:36.220
Yeah, no for sure for sure

07:35:36.220 --> 07:35:39.820
they won't feel like that in

07:35:39.820 --> 07:35:40.520
the moment, but they can

07:35:40.520 --> 07:35:41.220
definitely step away and kind

07:35:41.220 --> 07:35:42.220
of be happy with how things

07:35:42.220 --> 07:35:44.220
have gone down. They win the

07:35:44.220 --> 07:35:45.220
games that they're expected to

07:35:45.220 --> 07:35:47.220
win. Um and ultimately, like

07:35:47.220 --> 07:35:48.220
you say, take a map off of

07:35:48.220 --> 07:35:50.220
vitality so you can kind of be

07:35:50.220 --> 07:35:52.220
happy. It's just tough the way

07:35:52.220 --> 07:35:54.220
the format works that you do

07:35:54.220 --> 07:35:56.220
get gut punched by the probably

07:35:56.220 --> 07:35:58.220
the two strongest teams. Maybe

07:35:58.220 --> 07:35:59.220
Falcons have got more form at

07:35:59.220 --> 07:36:01.220
the moment than spirit, but

07:36:01.220 --> 07:36:03.220
ultimately looking good. Meanwhile,

07:36:03.220 --> 07:36:05.220
we do have an interview ready to

07:36:05.220 --> 07:36:06.780
the next couple of hours. I'm

07:36:06.780 --> 07:36:08.220
excited. I'm excited. I'm

07:36:08.220 --> 07:36:10.220
excited. I'm excited. I'm

07:36:10.220 --> 07:36:12.020
excited. Excited to get into

07:36:12.020 --> 07:36:13.520
it. Yeah, kind of here from

07:36:13.520 --> 07:36:15.020
magic. Thank you very much for

07:36:15.020 --> 07:36:16.120
giving us some of your time.

07:36:16.120 --> 07:36:18.200
Congrats on the wind. Congrats

07:36:18.200 --> 07:36:19.900
on the playoffs. Of course, and

07:36:19.900 --> 07:36:21.700
I just want to kick things off

07:36:21.700 --> 07:36:23.500
how you feeling against G two

07:36:23.500 --> 07:36:25.000
there. Obviously it's been

07:36:25.000 --> 07:36:26.200
maybe for you a tougher

07:36:26.200 --> 07:36:27.900
tournament. You lose a map

07:36:27.900 --> 07:36:29.580
against red canids and get

07:36:29.580 --> 07:36:30.580
knocked down by falcons

07:36:30.580 --> 07:36:33.300
earlier on how you feeling

07:36:33.300 --> 07:36:41.620
like right now but you know we just got owned against Falcons but overall form of

07:36:41.620 --> 07:36:45.300
the team is pretty fine and it's okay and we're capable of playing the game

07:36:45.300 --> 07:36:51.820
and what was what happened in today's morning was the first map against Red

07:36:51.820 --> 07:37:01.500
Kennids oh I mean I was so mad that everyone involved but we managed to like

07:37:01.500 --> 07:37:08.060
get our shit together and when the two maps against red cannons and against g2 we also came

07:37:09.100 --> 07:37:14.220
we lost mirage against red cannons but we have beaten g2 who won vitality on mirage

07:37:15.020 --> 07:37:21.980
that's pretty weird but overall yeah we just played pretty decent against g2 especially on mirage

07:37:22.700 --> 07:37:29.180
on dust it was kind of shaky in some places in some moments because they were playing pretty good

07:37:29.180 --> 07:37:32.180
you know, it's kind of a

07:37:32.180 --> 07:37:33.180
somewhat rarity that you get

07:37:33.180 --> 07:37:34.180
kind of a double game day. So

07:37:34.180 --> 07:37:35.180
what is it like for you guys in

07:37:35.180 --> 07:37:37.180
terms of kind of preparation?

07:37:37.180 --> 07:37:38.180
You know, having a little bit

07:37:38.180 --> 07:37:39.180
less time is going to get ready

07:37:39.180 --> 07:37:40.180
for this one. How did you feel

07:37:40.180 --> 07:37:42.180
kind of bouncing off the back

07:37:42.180 --> 07:37:43.180
of that red Cannad's game like

07:37:43.180 --> 07:37:44.180
you mentioned of the drop map,

07:37:44.180 --> 07:37:45.180
but then off of that, the series

07:37:45.180 --> 07:37:46.180
had some nice moments from you

07:37:46.180 --> 07:37:48.180
guys and then coming towards G

07:37:48.180 --> 07:37:50.180
two with somewhat minimal time

07:37:50.180 --> 07:37:52.180
to get ready for this game.

07:37:52.180 --> 07:37:53.180
Well, I think it's going to be

07:37:53.180 --> 07:37:54.180
a good start. I think it's going

07:37:54.180 --> 07:37:55.180
to be a good start. I think it's

07:37:55.180 --> 07:37:56.180
going to be a good start. I

07:37:56.180 --> 07:37:57.180
think it's going to be a good

07:37:57.180 --> 07:37:58.180
start. I think it's going to

07:37:58.180 --> 07:38:04.660
Well, personally, I do hate the game days with two matches.

07:38:04.660 --> 07:38:09.860
It's only happened to me twice or three times, I believe.

07:38:09.860 --> 07:38:12.220
It happened in Krakow.

07:38:12.220 --> 07:38:16.980
It was bad, but we made it through the groups.

07:38:16.980 --> 07:38:20.220
It happened at some EPLs for me as well in the past.

07:38:20.220 --> 07:38:23.340
But overall, it's a bad thing.

07:38:23.340 --> 07:38:32.580
And the bad thing is that usually, when you're doing so, you have an early game, usually,

07:38:32.580 --> 07:38:37.420
or what happened with me, it was extremely early game, and after that, you have to play

07:38:37.420 --> 07:38:42.780
the game in the very least, and you're kind of shadowy, kind of fucked.

07:38:42.780 --> 07:38:47.120
Everyone can say about the preparation stuff, but it's also bad, but the worst thing is

07:38:47.120 --> 07:38:51.460
that you're playing one game.

07:38:51.460 --> 07:38:56.980
a long time. Usually you're playing the other one. Yeah, I get what you mean. Like you're

07:38:56.980 --> 07:39:03.100
not quite in the flow of things for that second game, I suppose. I just want to zoom in on

07:39:03.100 --> 07:39:07.940
you. How are you feeling with the changes in the team with the new responsibilities?

07:39:07.940 --> 07:39:13.140
You know, it's been a good six months or so now. So how are you feeling around, you know,

07:39:13.140 --> 07:39:15.700
magic as the captain, I suppose, of a spirit.

07:39:18.700 --> 07:39:19.200
Good.

07:39:21.200 --> 07:39:22.700
Yeah, nice. Fair enough.

07:39:22.700 --> 07:39:29.280
Last one for me. I just want to touch on how you boys feeling now that you've booked your spot into playing in front of the crowd.

07:39:29.280 --> 07:39:31.280
You know what kind of Brazilian crowds are like.

07:39:31.280 --> 07:39:34.080
They get really loud. It's always kind of a fun time playing out there in Rio.

07:39:34.080 --> 07:39:37.380
How are you guys feeling about obviously being in Rio, a really, really cool place to be.

07:39:37.380 --> 07:39:39.180
And of course, we're kind of the counter strike world.

07:39:39.180 --> 07:39:42.840
But then, of course, now to play in front of what is a super, super loud crowd.

07:39:43.140 --> 07:39:53.300
Oh, first of all, it is actually really cool to make the playoffs because the group stage

07:39:53.300 --> 07:39:58.860
is behind us and we made the playoffs finally and I hope we're going to play better, we

07:39:58.860 --> 07:40:04.980
just have to do it and that's cool because the pressure is off because losing it in the

07:40:04.980 --> 07:40:08.060
group stage is bad.

07:40:08.060 --> 07:40:15.700
about the playoffs. I remember I've been playing in quarterfinals in Rio Major. And yeah, that

07:40:15.700 --> 07:40:20.340
was loud. Yeah, exactly that. We're going to take any more of your time. Thank you very

07:40:20.340 --> 07:40:24.380
much for joining us and congratulations on the win and booking a spot in Toh's playoffs.

07:40:24.380 --> 07:40:28.420
Best of luck, mate. Thanks.

07:40:28.420 --> 07:40:34.220
Awesome. Always good to check in, of course. Here's the results for Spirit off the back

07:40:34.220 --> 07:40:38.940
of what was some nice moments of the tournament, but also some shaky ones too. I think in particular,

07:40:38.940 --> 07:40:43.900
that Falcons game, dominantly defeated there. But around that, the beat and the teams, they

07:40:43.900 --> 07:40:46.860
should be beating, right? They take down G2, which of course, you kind of put them with a

07:40:46.860 --> 07:40:52.140
stand-in especially at a level below them, same for Rehkanid, same for Liquid. So it kind of feels

07:40:52.140 --> 07:40:57.020
like all these results make sense, right? There's nothing really out of the ordinary here. This is

07:40:57.020 --> 07:41:01.980
a spirit side that are still maybe not at that kind of level of kind of the, I'll call them the

07:41:01.980 --> 07:41:08.780
contenders like your navi is your mouse your falcons in particular i who actually might be able to really kind of push the distance against the

07:41:08.780 --> 07:41:16.300
fightality side um obviously no one's really able to contend with them at the moment that still remains to be the case whether that will change in this tournament but

07:41:17.020 --> 07:41:22.220
jerry speaking i think the spirit they win the games and should be winning they lose the game that we would kind of expect them to lose to be honest

07:41:22.940 --> 07:41:29.420
now it's the case of can we actually find like a an extra 10 15 percent in towards playoffs can we use maybe a bit of the crowd to

07:41:29.420 --> 07:41:33.960
of people around them. Yeah

07:41:33.960 --> 07:41:35.520
well. It's interesting as well.

07:41:35.520 --> 07:41:37.900
Though Magix comes in. Asked him

07:41:37.900 --> 07:41:38.900
how he was feeling on the win

07:41:38.900 --> 07:41:40.820
like the general question, and

07:41:40.820 --> 07:41:42.620
he just after two wins today was

07:41:42.620 --> 07:41:43.700
like, I don't know. We're kind of

07:41:43.700 --> 07:41:46.160
shaky, I think. Obviously they're

07:41:46.160 --> 07:41:47.760
not super happy with how they're

07:41:47.760 --> 07:41:49.700
performing. I think they expect

07:41:49.700 --> 07:41:52.120
more. I think they want more

07:41:52.120 --> 07:41:53.920
losing a map against red Canards

07:41:53.920 --> 07:41:55.320
is probably going to wake you up

07:41:55.320 --> 07:41:57.200
in a way of like, we're just not

07:41:57.200 --> 07:42:04.200
like they probably expected to just walk over that team and it wasn't that easy so yeah still a lot of questions from

07:42:04.480 --> 07:42:07.860
Spirit themselves let alone what guys like us have got to say about them

07:42:08.280 --> 07:42:10.780
But they do indeed made the qualification in the end

07:42:11.280 --> 07:42:14.300
Ultimately, that's all that matters. They've put this spot into Wars playoff

07:42:14.300 --> 07:42:20.400
But that is just our third game of the day. We've got one more to bring you which we're very much looking forward to it

07:42:20.400 --> 07:42:25.320
Is Navi taking on Aurora here, which is all the makings to be an absolute

07:42:25.320 --> 07:42:30.320
We are really looking forward to this one, of course, another game that comes through with some stakes.

07:42:30.320 --> 07:42:31.320
That's how we like it.

07:42:31.320 --> 07:42:33.320
Winner will advance to those quarter-finals.

07:42:33.320 --> 07:42:36.320
Losing team is eliminated.

07:42:36.320 --> 07:42:37.320
It's about to get really spicy.

07:42:37.320 --> 07:42:42.320
We're going to throw it to a break as we get things ready for our fourth and final game here on the B-Street.

07:42:55.320 --> 07:43:04.360
A lot of damage, they're looking to get their gun round out in number 4.

07:43:04.360 --> 07:43:12.000
Oh, big nade, no apex is up top as well.

07:43:12.000 --> 07:43:16.600
Vitality can need these kills more than Falcons do, so they'll pull back to CT spawn.

07:43:35.900 --> 07:43:38.300
And I like that you're just not making it easy for them, you know?

07:43:38.300 --> 07:43:41.400
They're kind of trying to tempt you in with the pistols out in the yard.

07:43:42.000 --> 07:43:44.760
Open that you just come gunning for the

07:43:45.720 --> 07:43:50.640
Eco kills, but that's not what you deal them. You play back. Don't let them make it expensive

07:43:51.240 --> 07:43:57.940
So how can's get out with it for alive when all this said and done no issues here on the conversions

07:43:57.940 --> 07:44:14.020
Niko's had a bit of a tough series, had some good moments on Mirage but Dust2 was lacking.

07:44:14.020 --> 07:44:18.660
I feel like this is one of his best sides though, or at least has potential to be.

07:44:18.660 --> 07:44:23.180
CT side on Nuke, gonna see him starting main most of the rounds.

07:44:23.180 --> 07:44:25.100
Sometimes assisting Kyosuke on ramp.

07:44:25.100 --> 07:44:33.500
For the most part, dealing with outside and this door pressure, breaking the smoke by

07:44:33.500 --> 07:44:36.500
Not crossing behind it on the first volley.

07:44:38.500 --> 07:44:40.500
Taking their sweet time.

07:44:40.500 --> 07:45:03.620
They're allowing the cross, but they're still playing for information, they want to at least

07:45:03.620 --> 07:45:04.620
know.

07:45:04.620 --> 07:45:09.580
There's another wall of smokes comes down.

07:45:09.580 --> 07:45:11.340
Oh, that actually falls short.

07:45:11.340 --> 07:45:14.900
That is not what they wanted.

07:45:14.900 --> 07:45:20.220
Oh, that's really awkward.

07:45:20.220 --> 07:45:26.260
Yeah, this is apex to try and brute force something.

07:45:26.260 --> 07:45:30.060
Didn't have any more smokes to kind of replenish them out in the yard and that could prove

07:45:30.060 --> 07:45:31.700
to be a costly error.

07:45:31.700 --> 07:45:36.160
Monosy caught out gets away with a big chunk of damage before he's dealt with

07:45:36.560 --> 07:45:40.860
Backstab here for Robs need a kickstand to get gun on trade secure

07:45:40.860 --> 07:45:48.280
But a lot more still to do low health on these main fights and tessas holding the line been a great start to this game for tessas

07:45:49.700 --> 07:45:51.700
And there's a two HP

07:45:53.420 --> 07:45:55.420
I far cry from winning this

07:45:55.820 --> 07:45:57.820
Bomb dropped back in main

07:45:57.820 --> 07:46:04.740
And that's just the beginning of his problems will have this route down the vent, but it's heard Falcons can now give chase uses Molly if he kept

07:46:04.740 --> 07:46:06.900
It's why he could have burnt then and actually bought time

07:46:06.900 --> 07:46:08.340
I don't think you can win this one right now

07:46:08.340 --> 07:46:14.700
They're gonna have him at least after the plant if not before and so not even extra money for vitality

07:46:14.940 --> 07:46:19.860
Holding that Molotov would have made all the difference in that 1v2 clutch with tests as low

07:46:21.380 --> 07:46:26.220
Double CT then can't say I've ever seen that but it works well for the Falcons on this top hold

07:46:26.220 --> 07:46:30.900
Dude, you've got to acknowledge the game that Tess says is giving us to open this up

07:46:30.900 --> 07:46:36.300
He's 8-0 topping the charts for vitality got a big 3k in the pistol

07:46:37.140 --> 07:46:42.140
Pulls through and in a big way for them in that round right stops the the split in its tracks

07:46:42.340 --> 07:46:49.180
Shuts down the entire main component on his own. That's I think the one little miss smoke kind of ruined the whole round for vitality

07:46:49.180 --> 07:46:52.140
They would have had Falcons in the dark in terms of being down secret

07:46:52.140 --> 07:46:57.780
They could have even made it themselves, but they lost a player advantage from that smoke alone

07:46:58.660 --> 07:47:01.760
That's what's ramp Kiyosuke on the chopping block

07:47:02.500 --> 07:47:04.820
Just gives him the space so does monosy

07:47:05.580 --> 07:47:07.580
We'll bang

07:47:12.100 --> 07:47:14.100
Hey, pecs are stuck

07:47:16.860 --> 07:47:18.860
Looks like they want to flush it out

07:47:18.860 --> 07:47:24.980
Playing heavy to resist out in the yard and heavy down at lower as well.

07:47:24.980 --> 07:47:29.500
They've got Apex trapped out here behind red, but taking a lot of attention away, allowing

07:47:29.500 --> 07:47:35.580
his boys to creep up through hell, trying to close in on these tech nines.

07:47:35.580 --> 07:47:38.980
Alka's doing a good job of keeping them at bay.

07:47:38.980 --> 07:47:40.980
Wow, okay.

07:47:40.980 --> 07:47:46.900
First time that fight's ever been taken.

07:47:46.900 --> 07:47:52.740
time here for Vitality, because 2v5 make it just SideWoo on low health, whittling away

07:47:52.740 --> 07:47:57.980
right now, it's nicely done outside, monosy triple kill on the AWP, Joyce Tess says at

07:47:57.980 --> 07:47:59.580
8 kills, top of the server.

07:47:59.580 --> 07:48:03.140
Hey, they've been talking about how they've been trying to kind of refine things as a

07:48:03.140 --> 07:48:07.460
team, right, make it a bit less individualistic, playing off of each other.

07:48:07.460 --> 07:48:11.340
I think you've noticed that a bunch in these early rounds, like no unnecessary risks, no

07:48:11.340 --> 07:48:16.740
kind of giving Vitality what they're wanting on these pistols, just playing the range game,

07:48:16.740 --> 07:48:19.540
can each other up they're playing these crossfires out in the yard that were

07:48:19.540 --> 07:48:25.820
really hard to get through because you know you had monosy and kiyosuke ramp

07:48:25.820 --> 07:48:28.860
you could have played for that space earlier in the round you could have tried

07:48:28.860 --> 07:48:39.060
to contain them but it's nice you know low-risk CS on display out of the

07:48:39.060 --> 07:48:43.300
Falcons to open up nuke and it's doing them well and last go around for

07:48:43.300 --> 07:48:46.260
Vitality it was one miss smoke felt like it cost them everything

07:48:49.580 --> 07:48:54.340
So how will they fare now that everything's gone a picture perfect rops

07:48:55.180 --> 07:48:59.660
Barreling through the doors securing entries out into this top site and that's

07:49:00.780 --> 07:49:03.180
Robbs this spinning top up in a

07:49:04.020 --> 07:49:06.100
Pulls the wall over the eyes of the Falcons

07:49:06.100 --> 07:49:08.740
Monacy might arrive at lower, but he's not long for this world

07:49:08.740 --> 07:49:16.720
He is out of there when the lurk goes so well. It's like an entry triple kill topside and in fact Falcons are closer to be

07:49:18.060 --> 07:49:22.680
My tati do you get that bomb down and Falcons look to walk away? I say that Nico

07:49:23.260 --> 07:49:27.700
Visitive in the vents. I will hold it down and that will send modesty back to spawn

07:49:30.980 --> 07:49:36.860
Excellent little pump down lower and nothing Falcons can do about it when they get laid to waste on upper

07:49:38.740 --> 07:49:44.900
Oh, Robs, may have heard that. Doesn't look like it.

07:49:44.900 --> 07:49:51.180
Have you want to let you save that orb? So, picks it up for Zywoo, takes 4 kills here

07:49:51.180 --> 07:49:55.900
and puts Vitality on the board. It's not too late, it is never too late, as we've already

07:49:55.900 --> 07:49:56.900
learned.

07:49:56.900 --> 07:50:07.100
He's been having a really, really good series.

07:50:07.100 --> 07:50:13.700
One at 1 MVP and he blikes the way it felt, so keen to get back there.

07:50:13.700 --> 07:50:17.620
Been a real driving force here for Vitality.

07:50:17.620 --> 07:50:25.340
It's a step in the right direction, still a ways to go, aggression for monosy on the

07:50:25.340 --> 07:50:32.200
to open this one up. Deep angle out towards the hut. Likewise, Kiyosuke looking to get

07:50:32.200 --> 07:50:41.200
stuck in over here at ramp. So looking for lobby info, looking for lobby fights.

07:50:41.200 --> 07:50:51.960
But nothing will be given to the Falcons with Robson in this position, Mezzi, to back him

07:50:51.960 --> 07:50:54.280
up. It's passive right now.

07:50:56.680 --> 07:51:00.600
This is all the while Apex has been roaming in the yard and in game leaders

07:51:00.600 --> 07:51:04.640
want to be one or lower at the same time. So honestly, it's not missing right now.

07:51:04.960 --> 07:51:07.840
Good man to remove as well. Everyone breathes a little easier when

07:51:07.840 --> 07:51:10.800
Robs is out of the picture. Apex going to get caught knife out in it.

07:51:10.800 --> 07:51:11.240
Lower.

07:51:12.920 --> 07:51:13.720
Not today.

07:51:16.160 --> 07:51:21.200
Dead on arrival this round three on five. Robs gone. No lower control.

07:51:21.960 --> 07:51:29.040
Flames is in a decent position, but Falcons are a lot aware of this and the timing peek

07:51:29.040 --> 07:51:31.040
for kicks and catchish Flames looking astray.

07:51:31.040 --> 07:51:32.040
Mezi and Zywoo.

07:51:32.040 --> 07:51:39.560
I would see what fighters he walk away in this and yes, up the roof they go.

07:51:39.560 --> 07:51:44.800
So Falcons not only get a round, but get a flawless round when they already had a bit

07:51:44.800 --> 07:51:46.300
of money left up.

07:51:46.300 --> 07:51:58.940
It's going to propel them on this CT side, making a very convincing case right now.

07:51:58.940 --> 07:52:04.620
And sure, you know, keep in mind, like, both these teams already in the playoffs quarter

07:52:04.620 --> 07:52:10.500
finals are worst case for the loser of this game, but there's more on the line for vitality.

07:52:10.500 --> 07:52:12.700
And it's not even just the streak.

07:52:12.700 --> 07:52:16.100
It's the fact that, you know, vitality don't play quarter finals.

07:52:16.100 --> 07:52:17.860
They are not used to this, right?

07:52:17.860 --> 07:52:20.700
Sure, the last time was Chengdu last year

07:52:20.700 --> 07:52:23.660
where they got out of the lower bracket in the group.

07:52:23.660 --> 07:52:24.820
But for the most part,

07:52:24.820 --> 07:52:27.180
this is a team that always win the seeding game

07:52:28.420 --> 07:52:29.660
and go straight through to semis.

07:52:29.660 --> 07:52:30.500
What does that do?

07:52:30.500 --> 07:52:31.660
That gives you an extra day off.

07:52:31.660 --> 07:52:33.500
It gives you a chance to rest.

07:52:33.500 --> 07:52:35.180
Something very important for a team

07:52:35.180 --> 07:52:38.380
that always play tournaments out to the final day,

07:52:38.380 --> 07:52:40.340
who always play a B05.

07:52:41.620 --> 07:52:44.460
You know, other Rosses are traveling after group stages.

07:52:44.460 --> 07:52:47.980
Vitality are longing out every single event and so

07:52:50.700 --> 07:52:54.540
Short the streak being broken is one thing they've set up a higher one than that already

07:52:56.220 --> 07:53:03.380
But it just means more days of play for vitality if they're gonna lose today it makes that run harder towards the Grand Slam

07:53:08.820 --> 07:53:13.200
Can they level up right now six one for Valken's full control everything going well

07:53:14.460 --> 07:53:35.800
I'm feeling very content with this early lead you've been able to amass, but you can never

07:53:35.800 --> 07:53:37.500
get too comfortable here.

07:53:37.500 --> 07:53:42.020
Well, it takes a lot for Vitality to get very threatening again, so...

07:53:42.020 --> 07:53:43.020
Spammed.

07:53:43.020 --> 07:53:48.140
these spams, the connection from honesty, all of it goes a long way. And already, you

07:53:48.140 --> 07:53:51.140
know, there's been a bunch of rounds like this of Vitality, where it just kind of feels

07:53:51.140 --> 07:53:54.780
like there's not a lot left to do anymore from the word go.

07:53:54.780 --> 07:53:58.460
Yeah. And you know, it's one thing Apex pulling his knife in secret and getting cleared by

07:53:58.460 --> 07:54:04.500
Niko, but that's just random smoke spam. And it's put Apex down 0-8. It's kind of killed

07:54:04.500 --> 07:54:10.140
the round. And yeah, this is a good answer for Vitality, just going together and going

07:54:10.140 --> 07:54:15.420
into this topside, but you already know in a 5v3 there's going to be ample players here.

07:54:15.420 --> 07:54:16.940
Tess is in a great off angle.

07:54:16.940 --> 07:54:20.340
And he's been red hot to open up this map.

07:54:20.340 --> 07:54:25.780
Tess says convincing shut down lines up the double and there's no more issues.

07:54:25.780 --> 07:54:28.420
Now who's just going to bow out of this?

07:54:28.420 --> 07:54:29.420
You don't really have a choice.

07:54:29.420 --> 07:54:35.020
This is why this is how Nuke can feel constricting sometimes on the T side.

07:54:35.020 --> 07:54:38.460
You need a lot to go right.

07:54:38.460 --> 07:54:43.180
early staging you till has to hit your smokes outside your vent smoke pressure

07:54:43.180 --> 07:54:47.300
early in the round and then get a player down secret then you can start mid

07:54:47.300 --> 07:54:50.380
round you can start using your pieces but if you're just stuck in the lobby

07:54:50.380 --> 07:54:54.540
and you're getting massacred outside like vitality are what are you supposed to

07:54:54.540 --> 07:54:56.700
do

07:54:56.700 --> 07:55:09.900
Oh, not even the savers guaranteed going down to the wire as I will get out.

07:55:09.900 --> 07:55:16.500
So, they all maintained, but I mean, you know, does that, what is that really serve here

07:55:16.500 --> 07:55:17.500
for vitality?

07:55:17.500 --> 07:55:18.500
They're going to need something.

07:55:18.500 --> 07:55:19.500
Something's got to go right.

07:55:19.500 --> 07:55:21.500
They're going to get wrecked in lobby.

07:55:21.500 --> 07:55:25.940
They're going to get spammed out in the yard.

07:55:25.940 --> 07:55:27.500
The problems feels never ending.

07:55:27.500 --> 07:55:28.900
Meanwhile for the Falcons,

07:55:30.300 --> 07:55:31.860
just going from strength to strength.

07:55:31.860 --> 07:55:33.740
And I'm loving the way these rounds are looking.

07:55:33.740 --> 07:55:35.420
That's the thing, they're very pretty rounds

07:55:35.420 --> 07:55:36.660
out of the Falcons.

07:55:36.660 --> 07:55:39.340
It's very considered, everyone's on the same page.

07:55:39.340 --> 07:55:41.660
You're being aggressive, but not in a way that

07:55:41.660 --> 07:55:42.660
you're risking loads.

07:55:42.660 --> 07:55:45.340
I'm even thinking of some of these monosy angles where,

07:55:45.340 --> 07:55:47.420
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

07:55:47.420 --> 07:55:50.100
felt like it was gonna be a monosy opener.

07:55:50.100 --> 07:55:52.620
They've given him a second chance at redemption.

07:55:52.620 --> 07:55:53.900
Can't make it happen.

07:55:53.900 --> 07:56:02.580
dead on that week, Zai Wu able to deal with him so finally results out in the yard of 5v3 for Vitality

07:56:02.580 --> 07:56:07.240
Apex says pull back right now everybody right we've been given the chance this is what we've been waiting for

07:56:07.240 --> 07:56:11.860
all game right now let's actually get to play out one of these advantageous positions

07:56:11.860 --> 07:56:18.060
so no one to die, Vitality go all the way back, Tessus is making a nice move but it's a high risk one

07:56:18.060 --> 07:56:21.380
Because the trade feels inevitable for Robs.

07:56:21.380 --> 07:56:24.060
Messi gets it done. 4-on-2.

07:56:24.060 --> 07:56:27.660
Sive relief here. Two top performers of Falkensfeld.

07:56:27.660 --> 07:56:29.860
A 4-on-2 for Team Vitality.

07:56:31.380 --> 07:56:35.820
They breathe, they give Zawoo some more time, but they're getting set up for this A-Split.

07:56:35.820 --> 07:56:48.460
I guess who's going to be here, but has a lot of responsibility, fully alone, kicks

07:56:48.460 --> 07:56:51.100
down, playing for lower.

07:56:51.100 --> 07:56:58.060
The option would be to fly up through the vent, or I hope they bring it down here.

07:56:58.060 --> 07:57:03.180
No reason to do so for Vitality, so as to get in behind them, it's kicks down arriving.

07:57:03.180 --> 07:57:09.580
out with his one but the trade is right there. Yeah very well done for Vitality they slow it down

07:57:09.580 --> 07:57:14.380
at the perfect point it was a bit of a miss from Odyssey a kill that would have absolutely changed

07:57:14.380 --> 07:57:21.500
the tune of that round but Zywu goes on to win it out. How close this was Zywu jumping over even

07:57:21.500 --> 07:57:26.780
hit the leg and finish what he started. Feeling good you've been able to kind of stop this streak

07:57:26.780 --> 07:57:32.220
from amassing again but it can't just be a one and done for Vitality. Sentences you're not really

07:57:32.220 --> 07:57:40.380
used to say and this is a squad that's always lethal. So let's see if they can go on a bit

07:57:40.380 --> 07:57:45.100
of a streak here to close out this T half. They're a round away from breaking the Falcons money.

07:57:46.300 --> 07:57:50.220
This is what's been good about Falcons. Every round it's something different. It's a new idea.

07:57:50.220 --> 07:57:55.420
It's a new starting position for Monosy. It's Nico now getting aggressive and up and over.

07:57:55.420 --> 07:58:05.420
Since I wound down, Monosy has his back, and this terrifying twosome outside is knocking Vitality out of this half.

07:58:10.420 --> 07:58:14.420
That's more like it from Nico. Very quiet series.

07:58:14.420 --> 07:58:21.420
Yeah, I mean, they know they lose that last one based on the fights out of the yard. So Monosy and Nico say no way, not happening again.

07:58:21.420 --> 07:58:28.460
And these very active starts with the Falcons and another round that's over before it even

07:58:28.460 --> 07:58:30.060
begins for Vitality.

07:58:30.060 --> 07:58:34.380
It's very hard for Apex to call out of the situation because it's just they're setting

07:58:34.380 --> 07:58:35.380
up to the round.

07:58:35.380 --> 07:58:41.660
They're getting destroyed in, Deco's pushing through the outside smoke, jumping up and

07:58:41.660 --> 07:58:44.900
finding Zai Wu.

07:58:44.900 --> 07:58:48.900
and the game is going to be

07:58:49.000 --> 07:58:50.900
a little bit more audacious

07:58:51.000 --> 07:58:53.900
moves being made by Falcons. I

07:58:54.000 --> 07:58:55.900
mean, you know what we talk

07:58:56.000 --> 07:58:56.900
about pressure with this falcon

07:58:57.000 --> 07:58:57.900
squad, the idea that they

07:58:58.000 --> 07:58:58.900
always seem to give you your

07:58:59.000 --> 07:59:00.900
best work when the pressure is

07:59:01.000 --> 07:59:04.900
off. This is maybe like the

07:59:05.000 --> 07:59:06.900
least pressure for match on

07:59:07.000 --> 07:59:09.900
paper. Because playoffs are

07:59:10.000 --> 07:59:11.900
already guaranteed, right? Like

07:59:12.000 --> 07:59:12.900
you said coming into this. This

07:59:13.000 --> 07:59:13.900
is between quarters and

07:59:13.900 --> 07:59:25.820
San Rumors swollen. So they're giving us a fantastic game. It's rare to see Vitality

07:59:25.820 --> 07:59:33.260
look so stumped. That is a real rarity. You don't get this. Like you said, it's in the

07:59:33.260 --> 07:59:36.980
early staging of the round. You're not getting a cross-secret. You're not getting to play

07:59:36.980 --> 07:59:40.340
a mid-round. The rounds are so decisive against you.

07:59:40.340 --> 07:59:45.940
Yeah, it's these two game plans clashing for vitality. It's pretty standard. It's where we want to go outside

07:59:45.940 --> 07:59:49.540
We want to get secret we want control in yard for the Falcons

07:59:49.540 --> 07:59:54.860
It's we're gonna disrupt all of that and they've done it perfectly think about how we haven't seen an APOP

07:59:54.860 --> 07:59:58.060
We haven't seen a single bit of contact on ramps since the pistol

08:00:00.620 --> 08:00:02.620
And so

08:00:02.700 --> 08:00:05.380
Falcons calling a great game right now

08:00:06.740 --> 08:00:09.820
And holding up their side of the bargain a to two

08:00:10.340 --> 08:00:22.580
It's never too late. Double wall, all fake. They don't want outside anymore. They've had

08:00:22.580 --> 08:00:27.380
enough. And so this is where Falcons, after a bit of a breather, have got to be ready

08:00:27.380 --> 08:00:31.700
for everywhere else on the map. Kiyosuke, no support right now.

08:00:31.700 --> 08:00:37.500
Now, you think about how outside focused this game has been. There's next to no one here

08:00:37.500 --> 08:00:41.880
for the Falcons. So Apex's little ruse he's tried to throw in hasn't exactly

08:00:41.880 --> 08:00:45.720
worked. There's plenty of guys nearby to help out Ramside. Monosib being one of

08:00:45.720 --> 08:00:50.000
them hoping they can bait them into Kiyosuke for a bit of a mowdown.

08:00:50.000 --> 08:00:54.840
The Spansion guys to go and deal with Apex. They'll deal with him on this secret

08:00:54.840 --> 08:01:04.680
lurk. That's just a great read of what was gonna come their way in this round.

08:01:07.500 --> 08:01:11.580
Oh, it falls short. Dude, these smokes have just been getting caught on little lips.

08:01:11.580 --> 08:01:15.980
It's the outside one that bungled them earlier. This falls on the line,

08:01:15.980 --> 08:01:18.780
and they just go swinging in together. It doesn't even matter.

08:01:18.780 --> 08:01:20.860
Double kill for Mezzi. The bomb can go down.

08:01:21.660 --> 08:01:25.820
All right, this would be a huge boost to Vitality, 2v4.

08:01:26.700 --> 08:01:30.380
And a double kill on that transfer. Adam Mezzi's giving them a fighting chance.

08:01:33.100 --> 08:01:36.540
Honestly, in Tessa, it's the two top performers right now for the Falcons.

08:01:37.500 --> 08:01:45.020
have to try and recover this and that bomb is taken away

08:01:46.300 --> 08:01:53.040
time running long rops with that beautiful transfer and a 2v4 mesium

08:01:53.040 --> 08:02:00.620
rops combined oh my never count them out we already know about it but

08:02:00.620 --> 08:02:05.220
vitality dig deep in a very important round late in this half it is a

08:02:05.220 --> 08:02:12.660
a recoverable harp with four on the T side, but so much has to go right there. Huge spray down

08:02:13.940 --> 08:02:15.620
and Rob saves them just as well.

08:02:19.620 --> 08:02:23.460
Grabs eye, Wooz Orb, and Vitality look to put it to you straight away.

08:02:23.460 --> 08:02:39.100
I'll enter the stalemate. Any time you can get Monosifar in that AWP with no opener is

08:02:39.100 --> 08:02:40.700
a win for Vitality.

08:02:40.700 --> 08:02:43.860
The ramp is completely empty in this round. It's not the eco lower. It's Kiyosuke who's

08:02:43.860 --> 08:02:48.100
gone all the way down secret. Monosifar takes ramp back, but Vitality are about to go in.

08:02:48.100 --> 08:02:51.540
This could be awkward timing for Monosifar. He's going to have to hit some close shots.

08:02:51.540 --> 08:02:56.120
And by all pink, one under flames and then just backs out of there.

08:02:56.120 --> 08:03:00.880
In my Kyosuke is firming up the defenses outside confirms that these smokes are just a fake.

08:03:00.880 --> 08:03:05.360
So a very good picture on where Vitality could be in this round.

08:03:05.360 --> 08:03:08.460
It's a trap or it's a trap which one do you want?

08:03:08.460 --> 08:03:13.960
Both sides cordoned off and the longer you wait the closer Kyosuke gets.

08:03:13.960 --> 08:03:17.000
Vitality don't know they are on the clock right now.

08:03:21.540 --> 08:03:28.540
And that's it.

08:03:28.540 --> 08:03:31.300
loves this little position back at the door and so P.S.

08:03:31.300 --> 08:03:32.620
Okay.

08:03:32.620 --> 08:03:33.620
What about going further?

08:03:33.620 --> 08:03:38.460
Robs with the check and now a route opens into the top site.

08:03:38.460 --> 08:03:48.540
Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2026 is brought to you by ESL and partnership with Intel,

08:03:48.540 --> 08:03:49.540
Acer Predator

08:03:51.980 --> 08:03:52.980
Jax

08:03:55.740 --> 08:03:57.240
and DHL

08:04:12.300 --> 08:04:17.480
Here we are again keeping the Counter Strike coming as we move into our final game here

08:04:17.480 --> 08:04:21.720
on the B stream, another qualification, excuse me,

08:04:21.720 --> 08:04:24.280
Navi into Aurora, it's too much.

08:04:24.280 --> 08:04:26.120
The project of Navi Aurora.

08:04:26.120 --> 08:04:27.240
Yeah, it's just blowing my mind.

08:04:27.240 --> 08:04:28.400
It'll do that to you.

08:04:28.400 --> 08:04:30.760
And indeed, we are back for a little bit more

08:04:30.760 --> 08:04:32.760
counter strike there as Navi Aurora.

08:04:32.760 --> 08:04:35.160
I think really could be, you know,

08:04:35.160 --> 08:04:37.080
the previous game didn't quite deliver for us.

08:04:37.080 --> 08:04:38.680
I think this could be a very, very close one.

08:04:38.680 --> 08:04:40.280
We've got an informal Aurora.

08:04:40.280 --> 08:04:42.880
I think they look all right, to be honest.

08:04:42.880 --> 08:04:44.680
And I do feel that Navi, you know,

08:04:44.680 --> 08:04:46.440
maybe going to be able to meet that head-on.

08:04:46.440 --> 08:04:50.720
Yeah, and there's moments here where we're not the on always kind of like, you know, super super clean

08:04:50.720 --> 08:04:53.280
He's gonna drop a map debate as well, which may be a little bit of a concern

08:04:53.280 --> 08:05:00.180
But this is another game with really really high stakes, of course that vitality focus game is currently going on as we just saw it

08:05:00.440 --> 08:05:01.960
into all is that

08:05:01.960 --> 08:05:05.080
Got a tail end of kind of the first half of map three

08:05:05.200 --> 08:05:11.160
We've just seen a group a concluded though from that lower bracket spirit to zero over G2

08:05:11.160 --> 08:05:13.160
the game. We're going to be

08:05:13.160 --> 08:05:15.160
going to the next round. We're

08:05:15.160 --> 08:05:17.160
going to be going to the next

08:05:17.160 --> 08:05:19.160
round. We're going to be going

08:05:19.160 --> 08:05:21.160
to pretty clean stuff or all

08:05:21.160 --> 08:05:23.160
things. It's it, but we're now

08:05:23.160 --> 08:05:25.160
moving back over to group B

08:05:25.160 --> 08:05:27.160
Furia miles will be coming up

08:05:27.160 --> 08:05:29.160
on the A stream after that

08:05:29.160 --> 08:05:31.160
Falcons Vitality game, and we've

08:05:31.160 --> 08:05:32.160
got another really important

08:05:32.160 --> 08:05:33.160
one as well. That game into the

08:05:33.160 --> 08:05:34.160
top bracket. Both of them are

08:05:34.160 --> 08:05:35.160
already qualified. It's just

08:05:35.160 --> 08:05:36.160
who goes to the Sammys and who

08:05:36.160 --> 08:05:38.160
goes to the quarters. This one

08:05:38.160 --> 08:05:40.160
is for qualification winner of

08:05:40.160 --> 08:05:45.680
here and I mean it's so hard to call out the gates. No absolutely I think the you know

08:05:45.680 --> 08:05:51.040
Navi obviously want to be contending in the playoffs want to be contending for this tournament

08:05:51.040 --> 08:05:54.720
as they maybe find themselves on a hot run coming in but Aurora on the other side of

08:05:54.720 --> 08:05:59.280
things also have a chance we've got a little bit of a check in with Wacadia on that Aurora side.

08:06:01.600 --> 08:06:07.280
I'm standing here with Wacadia for a little word and Chad I wanted to talk a bit about your rise

08:06:07.280 --> 08:06:10.400
in this team because when you were joining this team it was kind of like

08:06:10.400 --> 08:06:14.120
Santaris powerhouse and Santaris disc, Santaris that it was the Turkish

08:06:14.120 --> 08:06:17.640
Terminator but right now you're developing into really all-arounder and

08:06:17.640 --> 08:06:23.320
star in this team. Can you share us, can you share a little bit of info? Why is that?

08:06:23.320 --> 08:06:28.560
We have a lot of experienced players and I'm learning a lot from them

08:06:28.560 --> 08:06:32.560
and we're playing a lot so it's kind of developed me as well.

08:06:32.560 --> 08:06:36.120
I mean you're not having these star roles as well and you're putting up

08:06:36.120 --> 08:06:39.600
insane numbers and insane impact so does this help you that major or some

08:06:39.600 --> 08:06:43.160
other guys experience guys are kind of helping you out with this? Yeah of course

08:06:43.160 --> 08:06:48.400
like they are playing for a really long time and also our coach is helping me a

08:06:48.400 --> 08:06:54.480
lot. You don't need to share too much but can you tell us what is your personal

08:06:54.480 --> 08:06:57.520
kind of like weakness because as I said you can do anything on the server you're

08:06:57.520 --> 08:07:01.400
lurking well you're anchoring well I saw you pick up double O as well and you're

08:07:01.400 --> 08:07:04.720
insane with it so what the hell is weakness of my caddy? For sure I can

08:07:04.720 --> 08:07:14.720
It's my mentality, when I start a week to the game or something like this, I can't get myself up.

08:07:16.720 --> 08:07:21.720
So you're kind of relying on these good starts to the matches, so you're kind of fired up, right?

08:07:21.720 --> 08:07:22.720
Yeah, kind of.

08:07:22.720 --> 08:07:30.720
And what would you consider a success here in Rio from the team's perspective? Is that a play-off run? Is that a trophy?

08:07:30.720 --> 08:07:36.640
We are a team like a consistently playing playoff, so I think our

08:07:36.640 --> 08:07:41.120
our skills will be maybe semis or finals or maybe topi.

08:07:41.120 --> 08:07:46.400
I mean it is every time you're having these deep rounds on the tournaments

08:07:46.400 --> 08:07:49.840
where there are no Vitality, no Falcons, but right now they're here, so this is

08:07:49.840 --> 08:07:53.840
kind of like different task for you, right? Do you have any comment on that?

08:07:53.840 --> 08:07:57.360
Like why are you, why is it so difficult against these teams specifically?

08:07:57.360 --> 08:08:00.080
Because you're consistently like not getting deep rounds here.

08:08:00.080 --> 08:08:05.080
All of the teams are here, I think, like top teams, so it's going to be harder than the other tournaments.

08:08:05.080 --> 08:08:11.080
But I think we have a good chance here today. If we beat Maus, we will be on the same quarters, at least.

08:08:11.080 --> 08:08:14.080
So hopefully we will win and go to quarters.

08:08:14.080 --> 08:08:18.080
You can secure this play right away and we will see how that one goes.

08:08:21.080 --> 08:08:25.080
Yeah, I mean, looking very, very good. Of course, it's nice to check in with Bacadia.

08:08:25.080 --> 08:08:29.080
interesting player to pick up

08:08:29.080 --> 08:08:30.080
there is Deco is highlighting

08:08:30.080 --> 08:08:31.080
the fact that he's kind of

08:08:31.080 --> 08:08:33.080
this like Swiss army knife in

08:08:33.080 --> 08:08:35.080
a way this team at the moment,

08:08:35.080 --> 08:08:37.080
especially more so at the moment

08:08:37.080 --> 08:08:39.080
because we've got Zantara's with

08:08:39.080 --> 08:08:41.080
this injury kind of like we

08:08:41.080 --> 08:08:42.080
don't know the ins and outs,

08:08:42.080 --> 08:08:44.080
but that's obviously what they've

08:08:44.080 --> 08:08:45.080
been talking about. Is that

08:08:45.080 --> 08:08:46.080
hindering his game? Does he just

08:08:46.080 --> 08:08:48.080
you know play a little bit safer

08:08:48.080 --> 08:08:50.080
or is he like jam packed with

08:08:50.080 --> 08:08:52.080
painkillers trying to just ignore

08:08:52.080 --> 08:08:54.080
the fact that he might have a

08:08:54.080 --> 08:08:58.080
that. I know the inner details

08:08:58.180 --> 08:09:00.080
of it. Just the fact that there

08:09:00.180 --> 08:09:02.080
is a risk injury. Um so

08:09:02.180 --> 08:09:03.080
wakadia, maybe they're having

08:09:03.180 --> 08:09:04.080
to lean on him a little bit

08:09:04.180 --> 08:09:06.080
more, and he seems cool with

08:09:06.180 --> 08:09:07.080
that, but also a bit open about

08:09:07.180 --> 08:09:09.080
his own experience and his own

08:09:09.180 --> 08:09:11.080
weaknesses, which is always

08:09:11.180 --> 08:09:12.080
pretty good to recognize. That's

08:09:12.180 --> 08:09:14.080
good. And knowing as well, you

08:09:14.180 --> 08:09:15.080
know, mental is one of those

08:09:15.180 --> 08:09:16.080
hardest things really kind of

08:09:16.180 --> 08:09:18.080
this sort of level to try and

08:09:18.180 --> 08:09:19.080
shore up, right? Because it can

08:09:19.180 --> 08:09:21.080
be so inconsistent, depending on

08:09:21.180 --> 08:09:22.080
the day, depending on even

08:09:22.180 --> 08:09:23.080
something like the maps and

08:09:23.080 --> 08:09:30.040
and to kickstart things. That is a raw as pick as I'll start that T side. They got Raj to follow up. And if we needed dust to

08:09:30.760 --> 08:09:37.440
Decider, so very huggy set of a fair here in the veto and it looks like a row. I want to set a bit of a tone

08:09:37.440 --> 08:09:42.760
They're going quick the moving forward in towards me and McCarty with that first test and he will get his kill

08:09:42.760 --> 08:09:44.880
It's a little labored but walks it quick on the trade

08:09:45.920 --> 08:09:47.440
moving faster

08:09:47.440 --> 08:09:53.940
as they could actually call a full pause. I think there was a thought for a moment and intrusive thought to go rushing through their own smoke.

08:09:53.940 --> 08:09:56.940
Oh my, and they just found the timing here on wonderful.

08:09:59.440 --> 08:10:04.940
What are they going to do with it? I think they were expecting another player to be around here, so perhaps a bit confused themselves.

08:10:04.940 --> 08:10:06.940
The killer's not presented itself.

08:10:08.940 --> 08:10:13.940
They're going to be tracked down. This is just such a weird game state to watch unfold in real time.

08:10:13.940 --> 08:10:18.100
Noise being made though, of these flanking players coming in, Woxic very ready.

08:10:18.100 --> 08:10:20.100
Maybe they were expecting them to be further ahead.

08:10:20.100 --> 08:10:24.260
And they actually were into that B bomb site, giving the game away slightly early.

08:10:24.260 --> 08:10:28.980
I'm going to get planted, still got the coffin slash church control,

08:10:28.980 --> 08:10:31.300
but the shots are just not landing for Navi here.

08:10:31.940 --> 08:10:35.700
Lexi Bill will manage to find one, but I don't know man, this is,

08:10:35.700 --> 08:10:38.020
for me, initially not looking great.

08:10:38.020 --> 08:10:38.500
Yeah.

08:10:38.500 --> 08:10:40.500
They have started to find them, they've got that kit as well importantly.

08:10:40.500 --> 08:10:41.780
There's no gap on this, there is.

08:10:41.780 --> 08:10:48.180
I thought there might be a gap. It did look like it didn't really bounce up the wall properly, but it's all on the captain now.

08:10:48.180 --> 08:10:52.660
I'm just gonna bail them out and he now has to reload. How is he still alive?

08:10:53.100 --> 08:10:56.260
And he stays alive for long enough to make it not

08:10:57.020 --> 08:11:03.540
Surely enough time that it's unbelievable because it's just a little way at the end here. Well, just as it goes green. Oh

08:11:04.020 --> 08:11:08.900
My god, that is so close and such a sigh of relief

08:11:08.900 --> 08:11:13.840
the team. But Navey will

08:11:13.900 --> 08:11:15.740
steal away that pistol. I

08:11:15.800 --> 08:11:16.740
thought with them struggling

08:11:16.800 --> 08:11:18.800
to kill my that wouldn't be

08:11:18.880 --> 08:11:19.840
the case. No for sure. And

08:11:19.900 --> 08:11:21.880
then like some missed shots

08:11:21.940 --> 08:11:23.920
and missed opportunities at

08:11:23.980 --> 08:11:26.120
the kills. It just felt like

08:11:26.180 --> 08:11:27.180
Aurora were properly in the

08:11:27.260 --> 08:11:28.680
green. I mean, the bars

08:11:28.760 --> 08:11:29.680
disappeared guys. You know,

08:11:29.760 --> 08:11:30.720
that's that's as close as it

08:11:30.780 --> 08:11:32.720
gets. Um but yeah, really

08:11:32.780 --> 08:11:34.620
wild that Navey are able to

08:11:34.700 --> 08:11:36.700
come out on top. About the

08:11:36.700 --> 08:11:41.580
it negatively it is safe to say. Still a pretty good force though right we got an AKR,

08:11:41.580 --> 08:11:46.540
a couple of Khalil's, Mach 10 as well, it's just my Joe takes a hit with only the upgrade

08:11:46.540 --> 08:11:52.860
of pistol for him. Yeah I think another key thing Wacadia mentioned just to keep an eye on him

08:11:52.860 --> 08:11:58.860
as an individual is that if he gets off to like a slow start he struggles to get back into the game.

08:11:58.860 --> 08:12:04.460
Yeah so keep your eyes on all these things as Navi may well have noticed that as well

08:13:04.460 --> 08:13:06.780
He's not made a peep, goes completely unseen.

08:13:06.780 --> 08:13:09.800
He's still got control of the site, drops the player down.

08:13:10.820 --> 08:13:12.740
They have maybe overcooked things ever so slightly,

08:13:12.740 --> 08:13:16.060
but it's not a lot of time to get this bomb down.

08:13:16.060 --> 08:13:16.900
They can get it down.

08:13:16.900 --> 08:13:19.300
But there's just enough if they get that kill and they did.

08:13:19.300 --> 08:13:20.340
So one small thing there,

08:13:20.340 --> 08:13:22.180
Woxic faints the presence of running away,

08:13:22.180 --> 08:13:23.460
which can be heard from the site.

08:13:23.460 --> 08:13:24.660
They might just salvage this round.

08:13:24.660 --> 08:13:27.260
It's a 1 versus 2, but MagiWolf fall,

08:13:27.260 --> 08:13:29.060
and Woxic gonna play up close.

08:13:29.060 --> 08:13:31.380
Surely there's no way McCartney's gonna expect this.

08:13:31.380 --> 08:13:34.180
You might use the knave to break this smoke though.

08:13:34.820 --> 08:13:40.300
It will deal a bit of damage to Woxic at the very least, but again, still not fully cleared.

08:13:40.300 --> 08:13:43.100
And he- OH! I SAID HE'S GOT A KNIFE! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

08:13:43.100 --> 08:13:44.500
Oh my god!

08:13:44.500 --> 08:13:47.580
Woxic is just dismayed by that decision.

08:13:47.580 --> 08:13:52.540
Mikaze, a bit of fortune, he's diving round the corner.

08:13:52.540 --> 08:13:54.540
I know what you can do if your Mikaze has laughed.

08:13:54.540 --> 08:13:56.780
You know how fortunate that is.

08:13:57.220 --> 08:13:59.220
Just steal away that round, but...

08:13:59.220 --> 08:14:00.980
Oh, that is a tilt-er for Aurora.

08:14:00.980 --> 08:14:07.460
another tilter as well, was an annoying one to lose, that is more so annoying with a knife that

08:14:07.460 --> 08:14:13.780
was just honestly him just trying to move around the corner to set himself up, but the panic click

08:14:14.980 --> 08:14:21.700
you can see just the shock on the faces, I still want to say despite losing the round though

08:14:21.700 --> 08:14:27.220
a nice idea, Woxig runs down mid, 2A players and Ozo rotate, it's not running back towards B,

08:14:27.220 --> 08:14:33.700
He then doubles back and they split in towards the site and catch the guy in towards big box completely back turned

08:14:33.700 --> 08:14:37.460
So the idea is really nice. It's just that's just unfortunate. Yeah. Well, I mean

08:14:38.620 --> 08:14:46.780
Unfortunately, you might be two rounds in a row where they're not necessarily going to look to blame themselves. Yeah as a team, especially

08:14:48.620 --> 08:14:52.280
And that's honestly we look towards some like my dream to say just brush it off like, you know

08:14:53.500 --> 08:14:55.500
Yeah, exactly, but it's fine

08:14:55.500 --> 08:15:01.740
Yeah, last time these two sides played an inferno all the way back in Cluj

08:15:02.580 --> 08:15:07.700
And it was an overtime through 16 to 12 in favor of Navi

08:15:10.180 --> 08:15:14.020
Well, we'll see unless it's been learned very similar Vita there is a lot

08:15:14.540 --> 08:15:17.900
Also came into play as a 39 for Aurora

08:15:17.900 --> 08:15:25.900
that. That's to what play

08:15:25.900 --> 08:15:27.900
finals. Man. It's a rough flash,

08:15:27.900 --> 08:15:29.900
but Alexi be still able to get

08:15:29.900 --> 08:15:31.900
something done with it. They

08:15:31.900 --> 08:15:32.900
just were not ready for his

08:15:32.900 --> 08:15:33.900
presence. They got caught up in

08:15:33.900 --> 08:15:35.900
another fight. That's three

08:15:35.900 --> 08:15:37.900
kills without taking any damage

08:15:37.900 --> 08:15:39.900
by the way between the main

08:15:39.900 --> 08:15:44.900
players. It has got them locked

08:15:44.900 --> 08:15:46.900
in. From behind so 25 seconds.

08:15:46.900 --> 08:16:05.900
that's exactly what they're going to do, but it's a flawless round from Navi. So we've had two very tight rounds. They stomach that one as you would expect given the buy from Aurora, but ultimately starting to pick up a lot of steam. And on the Turkish side, they're going to have to be very careful about how they approach these next few rounds.

08:16:05.900 --> 08:16:06.900
Yeah, it's bottom.

08:16:08.900 --> 08:16:11.900
Nice little buffer zone to get to start things off.

08:16:12.900 --> 08:16:14.900
A 3 down though.

08:16:14.900 --> 08:16:15.900
4 on RV.

08:16:16.900 --> 08:16:18.900
And it's, you know, technically speaking, it's all about bonus buy, right?

08:16:18.900 --> 08:16:20.900
You know, why would you really upgrade here?

08:16:20.900 --> 08:16:22.900
You can keep the farmhouse, keep the MP9.

08:16:22.900 --> 08:16:25.900
In play, that scoop to bank is always nice too.

08:16:26.900 --> 08:16:30.900
Even if you don't win this for RV, if you make this round expensive, it's really gonna help things out.

08:16:30.900 --> 08:16:37.900
for Aurora not only a must win but it's kind of a must win where you'd like it to be pretty

08:16:37.900 --> 08:16:44.020
clean at that too just to give yourself on that seaside just some sort of thing to fall

08:16:44.020 --> 08:16:45.020
back on to fall forward

08:16:45.020 --> 08:16:58.460
they're gonna look to keep this banana control now I suppose becomes the question they have

08:16:58.460 --> 08:17:05.100
been giving it quite easily. You can see actually why we're doing that. Alex, he's going to rotate

08:17:05.100 --> 08:17:09.100
away. He was going to support them, but if not, if he got into us banana and there's less than

08:17:09.100 --> 08:17:13.340
a minute on the clock, so worst case scenario, like now they start moving back in late into

08:17:13.340 --> 08:17:17.900
the round, he's got plenty of time for him to fall over and the opener will come through for

08:17:17.900 --> 08:17:24.860
wonderful. And he actually, for a second. Meanwhile, fight on eight goes successfully for Narvi as well.

08:17:24.860 --> 08:17:26.860
to be more presence in towards

08:17:26.860 --> 08:17:28.860
that B bomb site. Wonderful. I

08:17:28.860 --> 08:17:30.860
think indeed will take some open

08:17:30.860 --> 08:17:32.860
angles if the opportunity presents

08:17:32.860 --> 08:17:34.860
they're looking to first kind of

08:17:34.860 --> 08:17:36.860
but now they've put a pause on it.

08:17:36.860 --> 08:17:38.860
Well does well to keep control

08:17:38.860 --> 08:17:40.860
of the site but to moving into

08:17:40.860 --> 08:17:42.860
CT and then one bales on it like

08:17:42.860 --> 08:17:44.860
Aurora themselves don't quite know

08:17:44.860 --> 08:17:45.860
what they're doing. So I think it's

08:17:45.860 --> 08:17:47.860
making them very hard to read.

08:17:47.860 --> 08:17:49.860
Wonderful looks for another kill.

08:17:49.860 --> 08:17:52.860
Unfortunately loses his head.

08:17:52.860 --> 08:17:57.900
bit not able to take down that planter. So the two versus two does not look healthy for Navi.

08:17:58.700 --> 08:18:04.460
Great start for them into the round, but Aurora remaining ever unpredictable, I think, should

08:18:04.460 --> 08:18:10.460
be able to net this one. Never thinking about it. I do like this. There's plenty of cash to go buy in.

08:18:10.460 --> 08:18:15.660
Why not? Try and take some guns away, and why not? Threaten the round. He doesn't have a kit,

08:18:15.660 --> 08:18:20.940
taps onto the bomb, Magi needs to come and dive fast. It's not the case, and he will miss the

08:18:20.940 --> 08:18:25.080
the window on the round itself, nearly takes him down. Not quite, but makes it expensive

08:18:25.080 --> 08:18:26.080
in the end.

08:18:26.080 --> 08:18:30.400
Nearly another round, though, where it's right down to the wire, and if it had gone the

08:18:30.400 --> 08:18:34.200
way of Narvi, furthermore, where you could be a little bit tilted if you're Aurora,

08:18:34.200 --> 08:18:38.400
but it's nice to finally get one on the board in towards your first gun round. But it is

08:18:38.400 --> 08:18:42.280
still very expensive, what is ultimately a bonus buy. You know, the guns brought over

08:18:42.280 --> 08:18:47.760
from that round prior, so Narvi will call for their first time out in opportunity for

08:18:47.760 --> 08:18:56.040
blade. Discuss what he's seen. I don't think you're gonna be too annoyed by that round

08:18:56.040 --> 08:19:01.400
loss for Narvi, just by how expensive you've made it. You've kept that T-Side economy in

08:19:01.400 --> 08:19:05.640
check and that's what we see, right? Two glills have to come in for my Dranasol fly here.

08:19:05.640 --> 08:19:13.880
Flipside Lexi does have a Phamas. There's not all Stonchan and Rebo's in terms of their

08:19:13.880 --> 08:19:21.040
It's very close there. Even like bits trying to you know, shorties trying to find on the

08:19:21.040 --> 08:19:28.520
planter itself. If he gets like one more tag there, it could be the difference maker.

08:19:28.520 --> 08:19:35.200
It's close, but Aurora will take it against the odds. There is a response from Navi here

08:19:35.200 --> 08:19:42.480
in terms of the bite, but still looking for a lot more success from Aurora. They have

08:19:42.480 --> 08:19:51.680
have to turn that boon into a string of rounds, actually be eat some nade damage because they

08:19:51.680 --> 08:19:56.360
not necessarily forced away at this stage. It's not really any follow up on the back

08:19:56.360 --> 08:20:01.080
of these nades though from the T side and how are you going to try and abuse that fact?

08:20:01.080 --> 08:20:06.080
Playing it super safe here. Ooh, a little spot. But there's not much you can do about

08:20:06.080 --> 08:20:10.560
that. Light bits of banana control. And how are we doing while over here? But no kills

08:20:10.560 --> 08:20:15.760
as yet despite so much presence, so much back and forth and all that utility expended from

08:20:15.760 --> 08:20:16.760
both sides actually.

08:20:16.760 --> 08:20:17.760
Yeah.

08:20:17.760 --> 08:20:22.880
I'm on a spam, but nothing's to be found from it.

08:20:22.880 --> 08:20:28.160
Emma makes a move, and when Cadio hit the deck, as we open things up, it doesn't even

08:20:28.160 --> 08:20:29.160
take any damage.

08:20:29.160 --> 08:20:31.440
So, the knight's fine from him.

08:20:31.440 --> 08:20:33.240
I'm not committed.

08:20:33.240 --> 08:20:37.120
It looks like I want to double back for a second attempt at the A site.

08:20:37.120 --> 08:20:47.120
I don't know about this 40 second mark as they're looking to move in. It was actually rotated off long.

08:20:47.120 --> 08:20:53.120
That is made to feel all the more worse as the motor smoke comes down. That's control they have no idea about.

08:20:53.120 --> 08:20:57.120
Wonderful, not really forced off too easy for him, it feels.

08:20:57.120 --> 08:21:01.120
He's able to hide away. They look to now play that crossfire.

08:21:01.120 --> 08:21:06.120
Wonderful, a known quantity. The flash is brilliant though.

08:21:06.120 --> 08:21:12.420
He will keep them coming so quick a player that really needs to come out of his shell for this team to do well

08:21:12.420 --> 08:21:17.440
I think into 2026. It feels like he's got a bit more confidence to him. Yeah, I know agreed

08:21:18.380 --> 08:21:20.380
That's a lot more like it. I

08:21:20.820 --> 08:21:26.460
Love that call for the supporting flash as well to give him the the confidence for that second peek and it's it's a really nice fight

08:21:28.380 --> 08:21:32.500
Pretty speaking in this head-to-head and all you had you're behind

08:21:32.500 --> 08:21:40.500
and. So far that is how things

08:21:40.500 --> 08:21:42.500
are looking for to one now for

08:21:42.500 --> 08:21:44.500
them back in towards a half by

08:21:44.500 --> 08:21:46.500
for Aurora. That nine's out and

08:21:46.500 --> 08:21:48.500
it might be a bit of a quicker

08:21:48.500 --> 08:21:50.500
paced one here. Might have to

08:21:50.500 --> 08:21:52.500
go for something as simple as

08:21:52.500 --> 08:21:54.500
an a dive. But here's those

08:21:54.500 --> 08:21:56.500
steps. He wants nothing to do

08:21:56.500 --> 08:21:58.500
with that as you'll fall off.

08:21:58.500 --> 08:22:00.500
There's two other players here

08:22:00.500 --> 08:22:10.780
gaps to be exploited Aurora not really looking to press their advantage smoke

08:22:10.780 --> 08:22:17.180
and flash will change hands maybe no I think I just just kind of drop them pick

08:22:17.180 --> 08:22:21.040
them back up maybe a bit bored over there of course he's got another smoke so

08:22:21.040 --> 08:22:27.860
that's just one fades in towards deep and on he could throw another or you can

08:22:27.860 --> 08:22:31.900
keep hold of it and try and keep them locked out of the site for that later part of the round.

08:22:33.580 --> 08:22:34.980
It looks like it might not be required.

08:22:36.140 --> 08:22:39.100
There's 50 seconds, they're moving back towards A.

08:22:39.500 --> 08:22:41.580
We're about to get an old classic waterfall here.

08:22:42.220 --> 08:22:44.860
One flash, one smoke. There's the smoke and the flash will follow it.

08:22:46.380 --> 08:22:48.260
Oh, smoke is quite late though.

08:22:48.420 --> 08:22:52.900
That allows two players to go firing in onto this waterfall.

08:22:52.900 --> 08:22:55.460
It's just not going to happen. They absolutely get mowed down.

08:22:55.460 --> 08:23:01.360
you. You might have to go to

08:23:01.360 --> 08:23:03.360
the other side of the road.

08:23:03.360 --> 08:23:04.360
Far too easily. You might argue

08:23:04.360 --> 08:23:05.360
but around the expect to go the

08:23:05.360 --> 08:23:07.360
way of Aurora. They just want

08:23:07.360 --> 08:23:09.360
to get a return on that

08:23:09.360 --> 08:23:11.360
investment, not going well here

08:23:11.360 --> 08:23:14.360
now. They will bring a time out

08:23:14.360 --> 08:23:16.360
in. Five one. Yeah, it's the

08:23:16.360 --> 08:23:17.360
tea side. Yeah, you might say

08:23:17.360 --> 08:23:18.360
this that in the other, but

08:23:18.360 --> 08:23:19.360
they're just really not keeping

08:23:19.360 --> 08:23:22.360
up your spot on. Things are

08:23:22.360 --> 08:23:25.860
and a lot for him to talk about, to be honest.

08:23:27.240 --> 08:23:29.040
Things are looking a little bit dicey.

08:23:29.040 --> 08:23:33.000
Navi, it feels maybe ever so slightly akin

08:23:33.000 --> 08:23:34.920
to what we saw in that kind of GT and Spirit game

08:23:34.920 --> 08:23:37.880
in that first map where kind of the way we were putting it,

08:23:37.880 --> 08:23:39.080
especially in that first half,

08:23:39.080 --> 08:23:41.760
was they're just not being made to sweat that much.

08:23:41.760 --> 08:23:42.960
Like we're not seeing anything

08:23:42.960 --> 08:23:45.920
that's really making Navi super uncomfortable.

08:23:45.920 --> 08:23:48.440
Like they're not forced to go hunting for information

08:23:48.440 --> 08:23:51.440
or burning a lot of their utility in tours around.

08:23:51.440 --> 08:23:58.440
Like, they can just sit back on the site, invite the pressure in, and kind of soak that pressure in, and they're able to overcome more often than not.

08:24:00.440 --> 08:24:03.440
I swear that we're a real worry, it starts to come forward.

08:24:03.440 --> 08:24:07.440
The trade of U2, but that deep banana smoke is the big thing here.

08:24:11.440 --> 08:24:20.440
Looking to trade it back, looking to maybe take some fights even, but Mikaze going to find the first head, Santaris does drop an XB, costs an awful lot.

08:24:21.440 --> 08:24:25.000
Maybe a needless kill seem like they were on different pages about

08:24:25.720 --> 08:24:27.720
Standing and fighting and dropping back

08:24:28.760 --> 08:24:34.960
So it gives a kill back towards Aurora, but they have again, you know lost the banana control. It's pretty common at this point unfortunately for them

08:24:37.200 --> 08:24:41.160
Wonderful have the right idea with a holding towards boiler, but it'll come off the angle

08:24:45.840 --> 08:24:48.460
We clears the position that'll give soulful like

08:25:18.460 --> 08:25:20.460
And he doesn't even need to overfight.

08:25:20.460 --> 08:25:22.460
You're more than happy to play a 1 vs 3,

08:25:22.460 --> 08:25:24.460
especially because that bomb is dropped.

08:25:24.460 --> 08:25:27.460
It's all on Wikipedia, and it's wonderful to close.

08:25:27.460 --> 08:25:29.460
He's looking really good, actually.

08:25:29.460 --> 08:25:32.460
Very confident, very sharp.

08:25:32.460 --> 08:25:36.460
And it just feels like Aurora can't do anything to make his life difficult.

08:25:36.460 --> 08:25:38.460
Which is knowing where the line is as well,

08:25:38.460 --> 08:25:41.460
I think we're going to be pretty happy when we see a move like that,

08:25:41.460 --> 08:25:44.460
that it's like, he's got the hot hands, he's found a couple of kills.

08:25:44.460 --> 08:25:46.460
He could have gone for the reface,

08:25:46.460 --> 08:25:49.740
But he opts to drop back group up with the team play the bomb. Yeah

08:25:50.660 --> 08:25:55.580
Yeah, complete reposition there where chances to the 1v3 is really good for he could have been like, yeah

08:25:55.580 --> 08:26:01.300
Yeah, I'm I'm actually frying a lot of times you will see that. Yeah, yeah, that first player goes down and then we go

08:26:02.100 --> 08:26:05.900
Dangerous and you know, they lose the 1v3, but you just play the trade

08:26:06.660 --> 08:26:08.580
Really really well done speaking of dangerous

08:26:08.580 --> 08:26:11.820
That was a slightly dangerous move by bit to it's going for seconds there

08:26:11.820 --> 08:26:15.120
But he will not be killing on the less and unfortunately that move through on that

08:26:15.120 --> 08:26:22.240
from Ocadia which is a little slow so no trade there. Very quickly down to three

08:26:22.240 --> 08:26:29.320
for Aurora in this half by here with more like a hero AK.

08:26:29.320 --> 08:26:35.240
He has to do something special. Bit round this corner on the right-hand side long

08:26:35.240 --> 08:26:41.960
there's two players who reside there. Surely next to impossible and there it is

08:26:41.960 --> 08:26:46.120
in the game. It's just perfect

08:26:46.120 --> 08:26:47.660
team work is that Torres. You

08:26:47.660 --> 08:26:49.020
get one. It's a consolation

08:26:49.020 --> 08:26:51.020
kill, but an immediate immediate

08:26:51.020 --> 08:26:52.520
trade and will say it again.

08:26:52.520 --> 08:26:54.520
Novy aren't being made to feel

08:26:54.520 --> 08:26:56.160
uncomfortable. This is very

08:26:56.160 --> 08:26:57.520
simple stuff in the city side,

08:26:57.520 --> 08:26:59.160
and it's working brilliantly,

08:26:59.160 --> 08:27:00.760
and this is almost like the

08:27:00.760 --> 08:27:03.560
prophetic tea side. Unfortunately

08:27:03.560 --> 08:27:05.560
in the way that Aurora just not

08:27:05.560 --> 08:27:06.760
managed to get into this game.

08:27:06.760 --> 08:27:08.160
There's been a timeout. It's not

08:27:08.160 --> 08:27:09.760
really helped. The one round they

08:27:09.760 --> 08:27:15.700
they do get is very lucky. I think they create their own look in it. They have this crazy

08:27:15.700 --> 08:27:22.600
move like through the smoke and catching players off in towards CT on the B side of things.

08:27:22.600 --> 08:27:25.360
You know, if maybe you are just joining us trying to give you a picture of that. But

08:27:25.360 --> 08:27:32.340
ultimately, yeah, ultimately, they've just not really done very much. And you could argue

08:27:32.340 --> 08:27:38.160
around that Navi lost is all Aurora been able to find here. I think it was 5v3 at one point

08:27:38.160 --> 08:27:43.300
in that round. Yeah, it's a guarantee leading out the half. On top of that, it just feels

08:27:43.300 --> 08:27:49.260
like it should lead to at least a couple more at this rate. Because Aurora really aren't,

08:27:49.260 --> 08:27:53.820
I mean, they're barely getting to post-plants, right? And this is where we paint quite a

08:27:53.820 --> 08:27:59.060
bleak picture on a map in which in the past, I thought, okay, granted, it's been a good

08:27:59.060 --> 08:28:03.140
few months since coming to play between these two sides, but it was overtime. Last time

08:28:03.140 --> 08:28:11.440
they played. It's struggling. Yeah, very much so. And it's Ima only able to get one, two

08:28:11.440 --> 08:28:17.420
versus four, surely a round to be taken here. Alexis got other ideas, but that move by

08:28:17.420 --> 08:28:23.380
Santaris should all but show things up. Alexi in a one versus three does have a kit, but

08:28:23.380 --> 08:28:27.740
no utility and half HP. He's got no chance on how I think he might just suck his tail

08:28:27.740 --> 08:28:34.100
between his legs and get out of there. Give up the round, Aurora will take a second and

08:28:34.100 --> 08:28:42.540
there's no point for Alexi. He's halfway sticking around though. Maybe just for that

08:28:42.540 --> 08:28:46.980
AK that was informed, it was MacAusie's at one point. They've got plenty of money as

08:28:46.980 --> 08:28:55.300
well, right? But he will look save the AK. On the chance that he can, and Aurora will

08:28:55.300 --> 08:29:00.180
be back in as soon as we kind of call them out they do manage to just squeeze it out despite you

08:29:00.180 --> 08:29:07.460
know the presence of three players a quick rotation with elective B being there. What a sharp shooting

08:29:07.460 --> 08:29:16.100
gets it done on A. Yeah exactly that. So get up to a second. Still need to use this springboard

08:29:16.100 --> 08:29:20.740
for more of a hands up aura and we've seen some shake you know we I mean we've seen the best

08:29:20.740 --> 08:29:24.420
and the worst aura at this tournament from you know even just ask Arslan we look back to all

08:29:24.420 --> 08:29:28.900
that Houttu game, right? You know, map number one on that mirage, fantastic, right? Pretty

08:29:28.900 --> 08:29:33.660
effortless as well for them as they coast around, but that does too was really, really

08:29:33.660 --> 08:29:38.500
wild. Goes into OT, never even should have got there. There was a real chance in a real

08:29:38.500 --> 08:29:41.460
world which, you know, you can make the argument, they kind of should have lost that map as

08:29:41.460 --> 08:29:45.700
well. We should have gone to the side there, but they weren't able to recover, but we kind

08:29:45.700 --> 08:29:48.580
of can see where there's a roar of sight. I can check out a little bit in the mental

08:29:48.580 --> 08:29:54.740
stay is obviously so so important for them. I worry that morale is at a bit of a low at the moment.

08:29:54.740 --> 08:29:58.820
It's nice to get that second and if it's a flash in the pan that's really gonna hurt.

08:30:00.580 --> 08:30:08.180
That's a great timing on that nade. Yeah he dishes out a little bit to the beholders. Oh my goodness,

08:30:08.180 --> 08:30:13.220
wonderful with the tag bit with the finish. So far going to be kicking himself that he does not manage

08:30:13.220 --> 08:30:23.960
to find either of those KD out long, spotted now. Lots of chips taken out of the Navi health

08:30:23.960 --> 08:30:28.260
bars, but no kills. And that's what Aurora need, especially in this situation where they

08:30:28.260 --> 08:30:34.480
find themselves on the back foot with very little control to work off here as well. It's

08:30:34.480 --> 08:30:45.220
just not looking good. Like a group back towards B. This two players to meet them and Alexi

08:30:45.220 --> 08:30:52.000
with more or less a full belt. Longary holds this smoke, actually the more effective it

08:30:52.000 --> 08:30:56.400
becomes to be honest. He actually has missed a window. Oh, hang on. That Jiggle Peach works

08:30:56.400 --> 08:31:01.440
against him. He's missed a window here. Oh my God, that's all I can do this alone. Yes,

08:31:01.440 --> 08:31:07.600
get the second that's so unfortunate for Alexi. He's jiggle-peaking there from CT, but he just misses

08:31:07.600 --> 08:31:14.080
that small margin with Zankara's crosses and gets up close, and it costs Mikaze his life.

08:31:14.080 --> 08:31:18.240
But even with Ima find that kill, this retake is probably still not going to happen.

08:31:18.800 --> 08:31:22.720
I don't know. They're on the way. Ima picks his HE up. There's not going to be loads of time.

08:31:23.280 --> 08:31:26.960
I think with that kill, they'll be like, okay, see, yeah, actually we'll go back to saving.

08:31:26.960 --> 08:31:34.960
But they were on the way. They were on the way, I think, to give him a bit of a hand if he managed to find more space, which he doesn't.

08:31:34.960 --> 08:31:42.960
Yeah, that's really unlucky. I think you could also look to Mikaze. It's kind of both players making tiny mistakes for me.

08:31:42.960 --> 08:31:49.960
I think Mikaze playing so, so info-less. It's quite dangerous as well.

08:31:49.960 --> 08:31:54.960
But it is unlucky, taking against the timing.

08:31:54.960 --> 08:32:00.580
Yeah, just both players completely caught off guard, which is not good.

08:32:00.580 --> 08:32:03.400
You could maybe argue as well, did they both have needs at the same time?

08:32:03.400 --> 08:32:04.400
I think it's possible.

08:32:04.400 --> 08:32:05.400
Yeah, it looks like it is.

08:32:05.400 --> 08:32:07.400
Because they look like it was on a quick stage.

08:32:07.400 --> 08:32:10.520
So, yeah, totally caught their panster.

08:32:10.520 --> 08:32:17.360
Mostly holding a flash to kind of like, got in towards pool, but it's a really fine

08:32:17.360 --> 08:32:21.980
margin there but nice work from Zantara it's nonetheless injury feels like it's

08:32:21.980 --> 08:32:27.320
having no effect on his individual ability at the moment brought around the

08:32:27.320 --> 08:32:32.660
play here in this first half what was a really poor start 7-1 down around in a

08:32:32.660 --> 08:32:37.220
road might just give you a chance and because they finally finding fortune on

08:32:37.220 --> 08:32:42.300
that spam he's not really been getting too much with it and now he will another

08:32:42.300 --> 08:32:46.080
Open up an RV which feels like a bit of a consistency each every round

08:32:48.180 --> 08:32:52.100
Certainly more often than not maybe far more often

08:32:54.780 --> 08:32:56.380
Oxic

08:32:56.380 --> 08:32:59.580
It's an aid as well. So from bad to worse

08:33:00.860 --> 08:33:04.340
And it looks like a lockout over in the short area

08:33:06.860 --> 08:33:11.540
Yeah, I'm backing off they're giving it up. Yeah, I'm gonna move into the cross area of the orbit

08:33:12.300 --> 08:33:14.300
Not feeling great about this one

08:33:14.640 --> 08:33:16.640
It's wonderful in

08:33:16.840 --> 08:33:21.380
Actually a good spot, but he does get taken down. He's had to open it if they go quick

08:33:21.380 --> 08:33:22.820
They actually might find a gap

08:33:22.820 --> 08:33:26.260
It's very possible. Mikaze smoke in but they know that comes from CT

08:33:26.260 --> 08:33:30.020
They know that says there's not really anyone around but they maybe scale a bit too quick

08:33:30.020 --> 08:33:33.640
He still gets there in time. He'll eat an aid, but to no effect

08:33:34.000 --> 08:33:39.020
Still alive still standing still looking for fights and the ace now comes into question

08:33:39.020 --> 08:33:41.660
He's denied by the fire, but his bullets are true

08:33:42.300 --> 08:33:44.300
They will see it off in the end.

08:33:44.300 --> 08:33:48.300
Narvi to net eight, but Mikaze with a hell of a hold in the nick of time.

08:33:48.300 --> 08:33:53.300
Yeah, he has absolutely saved them in that one.

08:33:53.300 --> 08:33:57.300
Wonderful falls. They scale so quickly into wall B, which is absolutely the right call by Aurora.

08:33:57.300 --> 08:33:59.300
It's a really nice way to go about it.

08:33:59.300 --> 08:34:03.300
If they underlawed about that, it would have been too simple for the rotations to come through.

08:34:03.300 --> 08:34:08.300
They don't. They step at the pace they fly in, but Mikaze has gone absolutely huge.

08:34:08.300 --> 08:34:11.140
who's just having that one extra bit of utility.

08:34:11.140 --> 08:34:13.140
A smoker or Molly in towards Coffins,

08:34:13.140 --> 08:34:13.980
that rounds theirs.

08:34:13.980 --> 08:34:15.660
They get a plant and a post plant

08:34:15.660 --> 08:34:18.100
and all things should slot into place.

08:34:18.100 --> 08:34:19.460
Well, he just catches two swinging across

08:34:19.460 --> 08:34:21.580
and towards the site, goes in for another.

08:34:21.580 --> 08:34:22.420
It's brilliant.

08:34:23.580 --> 08:34:25.140
So second time I'll take him.

08:34:26.820 --> 08:34:30.860
Aurora, heading into the final round off his half.

08:34:32.740 --> 08:34:37.020
You'd argue that eight already by most metrics is enough,

08:34:37.020 --> 08:34:44.400
up. It's kind of that thing of eight to four feels like there's a bit of a chance nine to

08:34:44.400 --> 08:34:53.300
three really feels like the reasons. Yeah, definitely in agreement. Definitely in agreement.

08:34:53.300 --> 08:34:58.000
They are looking to maybe send it back to basics. Is it a full rush? It is at least for one

08:34:58.000 --> 08:35:04.260
of them. Magic to open, but he will lose his life. Lexi, a trigger pull could have done

08:35:04.260 --> 08:35:08.780
God's work, but he opts not to go for it, waiting for more aggression to come his way.

08:35:09.420 --> 08:35:14.640
Not the case, a quick pivot back towards the A-bomb site has also been read pretty heavily by the Navi boys.

08:35:16.720 --> 08:35:17.920
He's working towards long.

08:35:20.120 --> 08:35:21.340
Where's the Smolly gonna go?

08:35:23.000 --> 08:35:23.620
KD out.

08:35:24.420 --> 08:35:26.020
Or Imma on the other side of this smoke.

08:35:26.260 --> 08:35:27.860
Who spots who first?

08:35:27.860 --> 08:35:29.760
They realize they're running into each other.

08:35:29.760 --> 08:35:30.460
Oh my god.

08:35:30.460 --> 08:35:33.760
How does Imma come out on top in that fight?

08:35:33.760 --> 08:35:36.680
It felt like Wikipedia had the drop, but even still,

08:35:36.680 --> 08:35:41.480
Imola wins it and the wonderful trades to keep the numbers in favour of Navi.

08:35:43.480 --> 08:35:46.600
Under a minute once again, Zantharys a soft flyer.

08:35:46.600 --> 08:35:48.480
Happy saved them here.

08:35:48.480 --> 08:35:52.000
Wonderful, pop shot, doesn't quite connect, but Alexi's reclaiming space.

08:35:52.000 --> 08:35:56.160
In through brackets, he might have them both lined up and dead to right.

08:35:56.160 --> 08:36:00.880
Nine for Navi, at the end of that half, it's a fantastic start

08:36:00.880 --> 08:36:02.880
into all the opponents might pick.

08:36:02.880 --> 08:36:04.880
I've been thrown out.

08:36:30.880 --> 08:36:32.880
the

08:36:34.880 --> 08:36:44.640
The nine three half and now maybe more applicable how they were kind of shades of that Melbourne final you remind you remember in that one

08:36:44.640 --> 08:36:49.120
Honestly saying afterwards, you know, it's a final hit. It will never forget. He'll always remember it

08:36:50.320 --> 08:36:56.320
And that feeling of you know letting vitality back in after a dominant half being what 12 6 up

08:36:56.320 --> 08:37:02.320
It's rare that you get such a parallel to try and have your revenge, but that's what he's looking for.

08:37:02.320 --> 08:37:08.320
Modesty means business. Shot on the smoke and Zywoo's round is over.

08:37:08.320 --> 08:37:11.320
Bang, a move for Modesty.

08:37:11.320 --> 08:37:15.320
Caught him on the jump and just waited until he had the guarantee.

08:37:15.320 --> 08:37:19.320
If he says again, he is so cheeky.

08:37:19.320 --> 08:37:24.320
He walked through the ramp smoke last round and now he's down the vent.

08:37:24.320 --> 08:37:27.320
If Vitalty think they can rotate safe, they don't know.

08:37:27.320 --> 08:37:30.320
One lurks below. Down secret with the bomb.

08:37:30.320 --> 08:37:33.320
Honestly, still looking for another kill.

08:37:33.320 --> 08:37:37.320
He doesn't know how close he got. Two players move past his crosshair.

08:37:37.320 --> 08:37:42.320
But he can still play later in the round. His team have great control on Lower.

08:37:42.320 --> 08:37:47.320
Four players shifting to B, and Vitalty have no reason to gamble on this lower site.

08:37:47.320 --> 08:37:51.320
They have yet to been given a single Q.

08:37:51.320 --> 08:37:53.800
Let alone to know that four players are here

08:37:58.440 --> 08:38:01.240
You're gonna have to play a really quite you know out of position

08:38:01.560 --> 08:38:07.860
Man down retake Robs does what he can right throwing caution of the wind on a charge through that Molotov

08:38:10.080 --> 08:38:12.080
You're really hoping he could find some

08:38:12.560 --> 08:38:14.640
miraculous multi kill when that doesn't happen

08:38:15.400 --> 08:38:17.640
Still a tricky spot apex

08:38:17.640 --> 08:38:22.640
has at least secured an even odds battle here Bob makes it in plant for the

08:38:22.640 --> 08:38:27.840
Falcons and cover provided by that monosy orb catch on the vents test as

08:38:27.840 --> 08:38:34.360
finally gets rewarded and that'll leave it on mezzie then late to the party and

08:38:34.360 --> 08:38:40.720
in to that monosy AWP I miss one thing to lose from a 9-3 score line is another

08:38:40.720 --> 08:38:44.520
thing to still drag it into overtime and win out that is back to

08:38:44.520 --> 08:38:54.440
backgrounds of Falcons here at OT. Shocking. They are still here in the lead.

08:38:54.440 --> 08:38:58.520
Dude, there's Falcons going, but you know, it's kind of the dream set up right now. You've got Niko

08:38:58.520 --> 08:39:03.960
a monocy, top of the charts, monocy, the EU can really tell the impact he's had at the moment this one.

08:39:14.600 --> 08:39:19.880
A severe struggle for Aurora, it is safe to say as it has not started well here on Inferno.

08:39:19.880 --> 08:39:25.320
A map that came super, super close the last time these two teams met. That was a couple months ago

08:39:25.320 --> 08:39:31.160
now and it seems Aurora have not changed things up too much since then. They really are paying

08:39:31.160 --> 08:39:36.440
the price, nine three at the turn of the half. Now the game you were just watching there,

08:39:36.440 --> 08:39:42.120
Mr. Harry just Harry Russell did very nicely tell us that was also a nine three to kick things off

08:39:42.120 --> 08:39:46.680
and now it's gone to overtime. So maybe we might be on for an overtime here. What do you think?

08:39:46.680 --> 08:39:52.120
To add even more last time they played Inferno, it did go to overtime. All the signs. I wouldn't

08:39:52.120 --> 08:39:53.840
I didn't mind it, that's all I'm saying.

08:39:53.840 --> 08:39:56.160
Yeah, a bit of sustenance in this game would be nice.

08:39:56.160 --> 08:40:02.680
If the divine powers of the universe can give us a nice close game here for that playoff spot.

08:40:02.680 --> 08:40:08.840
Just something to get our teeth into. If I let that first half was, you know, pretty simple stuff by Navi,

08:40:08.840 --> 08:40:15.520
you know, we keep saying the same thing about Under the Sensor, like they just didn't really have to work too hard for a lot of those rounds.

08:40:15.520 --> 08:40:20.680
And even when Aurora were finding a bit of success, it was, you know, just momentary flashes of it.

08:40:20.680 --> 08:40:26.520
There was no consistency to come through. So, Navi, we're looking towards the A site here, and in comes the whole

08:40:26.520 --> 08:40:33.840
Belda utility, up close. Okay, Dia, he felt hard done by not to get a kill, but it's in the third prepper seedings, and then Tarzan the site should

08:40:33.840 --> 08:40:37.400
be dead to right. He gets one before he falls, but it's not enough.

08:40:38.400 --> 08:40:45.400
Yeah, and holding the backside as well, looking very, very good. Alexi B gets a 3-1. They're not going to be able to track and

08:41:15.400 --> 08:41:23.980
round. Like I don't know. I don't know what you're really excited about saving for. Yeah,

08:41:23.980 --> 08:41:28.200
so it just kind of goes to show that I think they are maybe conceding things a little bit.

08:41:28.200 --> 08:41:32.480
What's the case and kill bonus towards the end? Maybe I maybe I eat my words slightly.

08:41:32.480 --> 08:41:35.600
We'll see what he's able to bring into this round now, but he likes the scout. We might

08:41:35.600 --> 08:41:41.800
even see the scout come through for him. Scout on behind it. We should fairly sure he has

08:41:41.800 --> 08:41:47.400
armor. So that's just a really neat and reinvesting only a mere pixel to work with. Yeah, but it was

08:41:47.960 --> 08:41:53.960
very false firing it like the muzzle flirt. Let's see. Looks like probably chopped over the m4 to

08:41:53.960 --> 08:41:59.960
Santar as he's going to wield the deagle. A couple of MP9s behind it. But normally they're

08:41:59.960 --> 08:42:05.800
inching closer and closer to that finish line on your opponent's map pick in pretty emphatic

08:42:05.800 --> 08:42:11.880
fashion. Double digits already, you're seven rounds ahead at this point. If you take down

08:42:11.880 --> 08:42:20.360
this force by, this maps right off. For Aurora there's surely absolutely no chance. All towards

08:42:20.360 --> 08:42:27.800
A though. I think I'll still dig for information in

08:42:27.800 --> 08:42:32.520
banana maybe all the way up towards B actually. See how far they can get before they meet

08:42:32.520 --> 08:42:39.720
resistance. Yeah, I'll go and have a look. Yeah, just got to be careful of the A side

08:42:39.720 --> 08:42:45.680
of things. That's what we're after. That's what we're worried about. And the M4s and

08:42:45.680 --> 08:42:51.840
Taras are sort of dotted in between this really nice defensive triangle. Working his way through.

08:42:51.840 --> 08:42:57.340
Maybe not going to reveal immediately. Starts on top with Maget. Could get messy. First

08:42:57.340 --> 08:43:04.580
revealed, it's clean from bit and they have to be somewhat weary of a set up of a stronger

08:43:04.580 --> 08:43:12.640
vibe as Zantares has got the perfect angle, does not miss a bullet, and the ace not gonna

08:43:12.640 --> 08:43:14.940
happen for him, it was alright there.

08:43:14.940 --> 08:43:24.260
Alexi B dies away but all the same, Zantares has given them a huge lifeline.

08:43:24.260 --> 08:43:30.340
will go down and Aurora begin to close the gap. That's a huge round to take. Xantares

08:43:30.340 --> 08:43:39.380
so so well done by him. And with that being said now, the chance to open up the docket

08:43:39.380 --> 08:43:46.740
a little bit here on this CT side. He does so well in from short.

08:43:46.740 --> 08:43:50.260
Navi, it's a gut punch because unfortunately they had actually gone for a little bit more

08:43:50.260 --> 08:43:55.220
an information kind of poking product towards top and honor and a bit more patience going because

08:43:55.220 --> 08:44:01.460
that smoke comes down just above a minute on the clock from the one remaining B player.

08:44:01.460 --> 08:44:05.220
They just waited it out and had a little look even if they didn't want to commit to it they

08:44:05.220 --> 08:44:09.060
could still rotate between the sights and whatnot but before that smoke comes down they

08:44:09.060 --> 08:44:13.620
want nothing to do with it. They walk in towards the stack and of course they walk into that

08:44:13.620 --> 08:44:20.620
that man's Antares up to 14 now for him. No rule choice for Navi. You have to go for

08:44:20.620 --> 08:44:27.120
a forced buy and response. You double eco. Credit Pistols across the ball and that's

08:44:27.120 --> 08:44:33.440
it. It's a nice need to start things off. Aurora. Don't trade a bit back. It's more

08:44:33.440 --> 08:44:40.680
of a tickle, but still maybe something to work in the future. Are they going to boost

08:44:40.680 --> 08:44:44.880
on this half wall where Katie has got half an eye on it. Molotov comes in, that forces them back.

08:44:44.880 --> 08:44:46.680
That will be tics herd as well.

08:44:47.880 --> 08:44:49.480
Katie are going alone here.

08:44:49.980 --> 08:44:52.480
Only gets one despite a good flash.

08:44:52.480 --> 08:44:53.480
A lot of info though.

08:44:54.480 --> 08:44:55.680
I don't know, I worry a little bit.

08:44:55.680 --> 08:44:56.780
They're going to pick up a gun.

08:44:57.380 --> 08:45:00.680
They're going to gain some ground. Aurora have rotated three over here.

08:45:01.980 --> 08:45:04.780
And there's still plenty of time to pivot back towards A if they choose.

08:45:05.380 --> 08:45:07.180
What will they choose I suppose is the question.

08:45:07.280 --> 08:45:09.180
The thing is they can afford to have three pivots over here

08:45:09.180 --> 08:45:11.340
because they've got a mid player holding for the rotation now.

08:45:11.340 --> 08:45:13.900
So, they're going to know for sure,

08:45:13.900 --> 08:45:17.340
because Soulfly, whether they're wanting to double back towards A,

08:45:17.340 --> 08:45:20.220
hence why they're more than happy to keep the numbers.

08:45:20.220 --> 08:45:21.780
And over here, Woxigul be flashed,

08:45:21.780 --> 08:45:23.340
he just turns back in towards the smoke,

08:45:23.340 --> 08:45:25.700
they're diving through towards the site magi, one for one.

08:45:25.700 --> 08:45:27.140
Bit, finds a second!

08:45:27.140 --> 08:45:30.180
It's labored, very labored by Zantares,

08:45:30.180 --> 08:45:31.380
and that'll give them the B site.

08:45:31.380 --> 08:45:33.700
Numbers advantage, Bit's three kills,

08:45:33.700 --> 08:45:36.260
have given them a lifeline in this four-spy,

08:45:36.260 --> 08:45:38.340
and it's all now on Soulfly.

08:45:38.340 --> 08:45:41.280
a full belt of utility and the kit to work with.

08:45:41.280 --> 08:45:43.980
But a tough one versus two, there's the first,

08:45:43.980 --> 08:45:45.300
Emma goes down.

08:45:45.300 --> 08:45:47.300
Now, all on the shoulders of Bit,

08:45:47.300 --> 08:45:50.020
the Soulfighter asks himself, where is he tucked?

08:45:50.020 --> 08:45:51.060
Where is he hiding?

08:45:51.060 --> 08:45:53.900
Nate will go to dark, wrong position.

08:45:53.900 --> 08:45:56.100
He does have time to clearly be back turned,

08:45:56.100 --> 08:45:57.540
and Bit will deliver.

08:45:57.540 --> 08:45:59.740
It's a quad kill for him,

08:45:59.740 --> 08:46:02.220
off the back of the quad from Santores,

08:46:02.220 --> 08:46:05.620
and Navi steals such an unlikely round back.

08:46:05.620 --> 08:46:11.420
Yeah, I mean, really well done from them entering in, brought a bit close by a couple of the individuals,

08:46:11.420 --> 08:46:18.420
but I do think that getting into that bombsite despite three as well is so well done.

08:46:20.220 --> 08:46:25.420
Just a bit curious, you know, why you thought it was really on that right-hand side of the site.

08:46:25.420 --> 08:46:26.120
It's got to be done.

08:46:26.120 --> 08:46:31.920
Maybe thinking that, like, the guy in Newbox was the planter who was bit.

08:46:31.920 --> 08:46:33.220
Kind of thing, I'm not quite sure.

08:46:33.220 --> 08:46:38.040
It's just unfortunate because he actually had a bit more time to work with there like yeah, I can't

08:46:39.240 --> 08:46:40.600
So I

08:46:40.600 --> 08:46:44.560
Just want to display this out for you as well the timeline of this map so far or this half

08:46:44.560 --> 08:46:50.500
I should say you've had Navi win the pistol Aurora win the force with like a crazy individual moment and then

08:46:51.020 --> 08:46:54.780
Lose out the force. Yes to an individual moment, but I'm just talking about them at this point

08:46:54.780 --> 08:47:00.900
Yeah, where it's like they cannot convert a simple around. I don't think given that you really deserve

08:47:00.900 --> 08:47:06.940
to win this map. You know, you're not winning the rounds that you should and you have to

08:47:06.940 --> 08:47:11.340
lean on and Tara is going crazy to get your only round this far in the second half. So

08:47:11.340 --> 08:47:17.140
I think it keeps pointing towards it's a question we bring up every time right when you win

08:47:17.140 --> 08:47:23.180
around is it replicable? No, you can't rely on that. I'm sure you can't expect the same

08:47:23.180 --> 08:47:27.540
thing for bit but not only of one in other ways. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, not been the

08:47:27.540 --> 08:47:32.540
I think you're absolutely spot

08:47:32.540 --> 08:47:34.540
on. It's unconvincing. It is.

08:47:34.540 --> 08:47:37.540
It's a nice way to put it in that

08:47:37.540 --> 08:47:40.540
two for him. The peeking out

08:47:40.540 --> 08:47:42.540
towards long there and effective

08:47:42.540 --> 08:47:44.540
and the last one of Acadia. No

08:47:44.540 --> 08:47:47.540
real chance and help. He's

08:47:47.540 --> 08:47:49.540
loosely going to give us a look

08:47:49.540 --> 08:47:51.540
in, but. I mean, he didn't

08:47:51.540 --> 08:47:53.540
already know with inferno. We

08:47:53.540 --> 08:47:55.540
like a lot of saves and I would

08:47:55.540 --> 08:48:02.900
And he signs his own death warrant in a way the interview earlier on becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy

08:48:03.020 --> 08:48:07.620
Yeah, if I start to get into this one and indeed he struggled to get into it and

08:48:09.660 --> 08:48:13.860
I think he's a key component at the moment soul fly doesn't have the punch

08:48:14.500 --> 08:48:20.100
It can't lean on walks it as much as that orper. He's very inconsistent with his performances

08:48:20.100 --> 08:48:22.100
Oh

08:48:22.900 --> 08:48:29.280
Damn that is so nice from him. The first two are pretty clean, but that's a real statement shot

08:48:30.040 --> 08:48:35.020
Yeah, it's it's tough man when you speak things like that you sometimes speak them into existence. Yeah

08:48:36.540 --> 08:48:38.540
I

08:48:38.540 --> 08:48:41.480
Think certainly has been the case. Oh

08:48:42.340 --> 08:48:45.500
They have a small update. Just had word

08:48:45.500 --> 08:48:50.140
that over on the other side that was nicely at the half Falcons have won

08:48:51.220 --> 08:48:55.060
Vitality Wow, so they are beatable, but

08:48:57.140 --> 08:49:02.960
Semifinal final quarter the both can still be in playoffs and the vitality may be saving straps for the big thing

08:49:02.960 --> 08:49:07.680
We'll have to see what they're actually finally being figured out back to the game a hand here though

08:49:07.680 --> 08:49:09.180
Not be looking to close out this map

08:49:09.180 --> 08:49:14.020
It's been chased as immoral reclaimed the space gets one instantly dropped

08:49:14.020 --> 08:49:18.840
So apartments and sauce on my gathered. That is a great need near perfect

08:49:20.560 --> 08:49:22.560
It's entire still wants to stick around

08:49:23.160 --> 08:49:26.360
Wants to be the hero again. He is bit jumping up

08:49:26.360 --> 08:49:32.020
I believe as he turns around to take him down onto the AK looking for a few more fights

08:49:32.020 --> 08:49:38.300
He's second time's been hit directly with you till they seem to have a bit of a homing missile on him at the moment

08:49:38.860 --> 08:49:40.840
but

08:49:40.840 --> 08:49:44.920
We'll survive with that AK living to fight another day

08:49:49.880 --> 08:49:51.880
Jim Wikipedia

08:49:52.040 --> 08:49:54.040
Up close round top car

08:49:54.940 --> 08:50:04.060
What my car's a shot how about the second? Oh hitting me the knife in the first half the jump shot in panic in the second

08:50:04.560 --> 08:50:06.200
twice

08:50:06.200 --> 08:50:11.180
Counter-Strike gods are favored Macaulay, and it might be enough an RV to close this one out

08:50:11.180 --> 08:50:14.240
Alexi will spam the smoke down goes soulfly and

08:50:14.880 --> 08:50:19.720
Santar is he's been the only real lifeline for Aurora in their map pick

08:50:20.040 --> 08:50:23.140
But it's not being enough while he's at a decent map

08:50:23.140 --> 08:50:27.680
No one else has been there to support him and despite nursing an injured hand

08:50:29.320 --> 08:50:33.800
He's had some nice moments, but this one versus three has surely got no legs behind it

08:50:33.800 --> 08:50:44.800
He will have to go for the sake of dignity. The unbeatable boosted spot though as Alexi B will see it over the line. Super one sided stuff.

08:50:44.800 --> 08:50:52.800
Again, not what we were expecting. We wanted competition here. We wanted it to be close and Aurora have not really delivered in that way.

08:50:52.800 --> 08:50:57.800
This is their pick. This is their home map at the moment and it does not happen for them at all.

08:50:57.800 --> 08:51:03.480
just boxed on it was just a non-starter unfortunately they can never really get into it you know it was

08:51:03.480 --> 08:51:07.080
a little bit scrappy out the gates but Navi ran away with that first off and gave themselves

08:51:07.080 --> 08:51:12.280
all the foundations required to see it off and he said it plenty of times about the map itself

08:51:12.280 --> 08:51:18.360
Navi would never really made to work in this first map and who knows whether that's going to be the

08:51:18.360 --> 08:51:24.120
case with the series because for Aurora that was so unconvincing that I'm worried that I could see

08:51:24.120 --> 08:51:28.040
in towards this second map coming up in just a second, it will be Mirage.

08:51:28.040 --> 08:51:31.080
And yes, we've seen good moments from Aurora at this tournament on this map,

08:51:31.080 --> 08:51:34.520
but a lesser side of Houttu isn't exactly what they want to fall back on.

08:51:34.520 --> 08:51:38.200
Narvi look clean and they'll their map pick up Mirage up next.

08:51:38.200 --> 08:51:40.680
Times are looking bleep for Aurora.

08:51:40.680 --> 08:51:43.240
But for now, we're going to throw this one to a break. We'll see you soon.

08:51:54.120 --> 08:51:58.120
The pounding heart of these ghosts eats them, but here it comes of each other.

08:52:03.120 --> 08:52:06.120
That is double beef, you can't get your sugar!

08:52:06.120 --> 08:52:08.120
What a brave boy!

08:52:11.120 --> 08:52:13.120
Something's controlled, control is controlled.

08:52:13.120 --> 08:52:15.120
That's what's going on after this.

08:52:15.120 --> 08:52:19.120
Kavitsa! We are back!

08:52:54.120 --> 08:52:56.120
I

08:53:24.120 --> 08:53:26.120
I

08:54:24.120 --> 08:54:26.120
I

08:54:54.120 --> 08:55:09.120
Can you hear what I must say?

08:55:09.120 --> 08:55:15.120
I feel quite lonely from you

08:55:15.120 --> 08:55:21.120
But the time has come to this thing

08:55:51.120 --> 08:55:53.120
I

08:56:21.120 --> 08:56:23.120
Together

08:56:51.120 --> 08:57:00.120
But then your day was too slow, place my bet

08:57:00.120 --> 08:57:02.120
Even if I run out

08:57:02.120 --> 08:57:06.120
Desire, higher, desire

08:57:06.120 --> 08:57:11.120
Don't want the choir, who's the desider?

08:57:11.120 --> 08:57:17.120
Getting here from the desire, higher

08:57:17.120 --> 08:57:20.000
Pour in the choir

08:57:20.000 --> 08:57:25.080
Who's inside inside the party's fire

08:57:25.080 --> 08:57:27.680
We can take it slow

08:57:27.680 --> 08:57:30.280
No more to workflow

08:57:30.280 --> 08:57:32.960
Never chase it goes

08:57:32.960 --> 08:57:35.680
Never chase it goes

08:57:35.680 --> 08:57:38.400
But it's in me all

08:57:38.400 --> 08:57:41.520
But it's in me all

08:57:41.520 --> 08:57:43.520
I

08:58:11.520 --> 08:58:13.520
It's open

08:58:15.020 --> 08:58:17.020
Even in my

08:58:17.020 --> 08:58:19.020
It's open

08:58:20.520 --> 08:58:22.020
Even in my

08:58:22.020 --> 08:58:24.020
It's open

08:58:25.520 --> 08:58:27.520
Even in my

08:58:27.520 --> 08:58:29.520
It's open

09:01:41.520 --> 09:02:01.520
I know it's getting hard to hear you say all your clues to me

09:02:01.520 --> 09:02:05.520
So baby you're the one that should've felt for me

09:02:05.520 --> 09:02:08.520
Baby you're the one that should've felt for me

09:02:31.520 --> 09:02:34.640
I'm just confiding around with you

09:02:34.640 --> 09:02:38.240
I'm trying to get you standing out at this shoot

09:02:38.240 --> 09:02:41.920
Although it's you and I really missed it

09:02:41.920 --> 09:02:46.000
Just talk to me but stop being insane

09:02:46.000 --> 09:02:49.680
I know it's getting hard to get you

09:02:49.680 --> 09:02:52.800
Still want you close to me

09:02:52.800 --> 09:02:56.720
Oh baby, all I want is you to put out some little pain

09:02:56.720 --> 09:03:01.120
Baby, all I want is to make you come from the edge

09:03:01.120 --> 09:03:23.120
Since that night my uncle has not been the same nor have I.

09:03:23.120 --> 09:03:26.560
Moses, youngest nephew, he may be the answer.

09:03:26.560 --> 09:03:29.320
The question is, can we control him?

09:03:29.320 --> 09:03:31.760
Faze, router!

09:03:31.760 --> 09:03:34.600
Faze, Rossa, he's psychotic.

09:03:39.560 --> 09:03:42.160
We present your special treat,

09:03:42.160 --> 09:03:44.960
three bots of health for Nora!

09:03:46.960 --> 09:03:48.160
That part is fucked.

09:03:48.160 --> 09:03:50.160
That bot is something that is picking.

09:03:50.160 --> 09:03:51.200
You should consent to fight.

09:03:51.200 --> 09:03:54.200
Don't spoil my nephews so much.

09:03:54.200 --> 09:04:23.160
Have you ever had a dream about your first jump?

09:04:23.160 --> 09:04:27.160
Be simple. Be direct. Nothing fancy.

09:04:30.160 --> 09:04:35.160
Do you know if you have the capacity to jostle back from control?

09:04:37.160 --> 09:04:38.160
Alexi?

09:04:38.160 --> 09:04:40.160
An uncomfortable retake.

09:04:40.160 --> 09:04:42.160
An impossible retake.

09:04:45.160 --> 09:04:49.160
It's unbelievable! How is this reality?

09:04:49.160 --> 09:04:53.160
I can't believe the scenes that we're witnessing right now!

09:04:56.160 --> 09:04:58.160
He's got time!

09:04:58.160 --> 09:05:00.160
I'm not sure!

09:05:01.160 --> 09:05:03.160
Oh my god!

09:05:03.160 --> 09:05:05.160
Help me!

09:05:13.160 --> 09:05:16.160
Conceded what you're about to call an accident.

09:05:16.160 --> 09:05:41.080
of the game.

09:05:41.080 --> 09:05:46.080
last time these two teams met on it. This is a matchup that's gone back and forth quite a bit this year actually.

09:05:46.080 --> 09:05:52.080
They have met a number of times, so I think maybe Nabi's starting to get a bit of the download

09:05:52.080 --> 09:05:58.080
and ultimately the upper hand against them in pretty much every single matchup that they face this year,

09:05:58.080 --> 09:06:05.080
but it's getting quietly more and more one-sided, you might argue, and this could potentially be the pinnacle of it.

09:06:05.080 --> 09:06:09.100
of it, Mirage will tell us if that is going to be so.

09:06:09.100 --> 09:06:13.400
Yeah, last time they met, it was 2-0, granted it was a very different kind of veto.

09:06:13.400 --> 09:06:16.340
The last time they met on Mirage was back at the pro league finals, right?

09:06:16.340 --> 09:06:19.940
And 13-7, RV. It's not exactly painting.

09:06:19.940 --> 09:06:21.680
A pretty picture for Aurora.

09:06:21.680 --> 09:06:24.480
And now the question for us with this side is,

09:06:24.480 --> 09:06:26.300
ultimately in this space here and now,

09:06:26.300 --> 09:06:30.640
a map down after a non-existent start in towards this series,

09:06:30.640 --> 09:06:33.280
does Aurora have the capacity to take down RV?

09:06:33.280 --> 09:06:34.280
That's the question we asked.

09:06:34.280 --> 09:06:41.680
did they actually have the chops to be able to reverse sweep this sort of a series? It is a big ask, but with so much at stake.

09:06:42.480 --> 09:06:52.180
Let's see if that's going to be the case. They're starting on the CT side here on Navi's pick of Mirage, but after a 13-4, it's safe to say that obviously the mental state is going to be a little dicey.

09:06:52.380 --> 09:06:56.680
They need a pistol. They need a strong start just so they can alleviate some of this pressure.

09:06:57.080 --> 09:07:03.980
Yeah, for sure. We talked about it quite a lot. They talked about it in their own interview, or at least what KD did for his own game.

09:07:04.280 --> 09:07:08.620
They don't like starting slow. I think they like starting in front. They don't like playing from behind

09:07:08.620 --> 09:07:10.780
Not that any team really would prefer it

09:07:10.780 --> 09:07:15.640
But you know some teams are gonna be more capable than others. I think is what I'm saying and Aurora maybe

09:07:16.360 --> 09:07:18.360
Falls into that latter category

09:07:20.300 --> 09:07:21.640
Santares

09:07:21.640 --> 09:07:23.120
Trained him for the first

09:07:23.120 --> 09:07:25.720
Resets for another gets blinded off. He's still alive

09:07:26.120 --> 09:07:31.900
But they are gonna be after him. Madge though is the one from short takes a second for the comms to even come in

09:07:31.900 --> 09:07:37.620
He finds two and that feels like enough kills to start knocking this round together

09:07:38.220 --> 09:07:44.220
He might gonna fall thinking he was hidden in the corner. It's gonna be bitten Alexi B. Alexi has a very slim

09:07:44.220 --> 09:07:47.780
Oh, it's got a bomb down. I think he has missed him. Unfortunately and the maid

09:07:48.460 --> 09:07:54.980
Certainly helps out Aurora to get the pistol over the line. I think playing a beautiful counter to what came at them

09:07:54.980 --> 09:07:57.500
Yeah, it's a really nice start as well. I only the one casualty

09:07:57.940 --> 09:07:59.940
We're pretty happy about that

09:07:59.940 --> 09:08:01.940
really nice fight thing. Majors

09:08:01.940 --> 09:08:03.940
two and to show in particular really,

09:08:03.940 --> 09:08:05.940
really important because like you said,

09:08:05.940 --> 09:08:07.940
I think the comms are a little closer.

09:08:07.940 --> 09:08:09.940
So it takes them a while to turn around

09:08:09.940 --> 09:08:11.940
that corner. The need onto Alexi,

09:08:11.940 --> 09:08:13.940
but Majors was also fantastic.

09:08:13.940 --> 09:08:15.940
It's a six points of HP.

09:08:15.940 --> 09:08:17.940
That's what we want to see from Aurora.

09:08:17.940 --> 09:08:19.940
Not only a good round, but getting fired up.

09:08:19.940 --> 09:08:21.940
That's where they do their best work.

09:08:21.940 --> 09:08:23.940
At this side, you can start really getting

09:08:23.940 --> 09:08:25.940
lively, getting vocal.

09:08:25.940 --> 09:08:27.940
That's what we feel like they've got a chance

09:08:27.940 --> 09:08:31.380
We saw a really good map here from them against O2, right?

09:08:31.380 --> 09:08:34.420
We know that they have the ability to look clean,

09:08:34.420 --> 09:08:37.700
but so do Navier to my shot from my car, say,

09:08:37.700 --> 09:08:40.340
he decided to open, but the bomb is so far away.

09:08:40.340 --> 09:08:44.980
No, that is true. We'll see what they can do to hold on, if at all.

09:08:44.980 --> 09:08:47.060
Trade there.

09:08:47.060 --> 09:08:48.660
Sounds very strange.

09:08:48.660 --> 09:08:51.300
Yeah, the bomb is even apprehensive to try and cross.

09:08:51.300 --> 09:08:52.740
They'll recover both the guns.

09:08:52.740 --> 09:08:54.180
Long arms there from Alexei.

09:08:54.180 --> 09:08:55.140
Yeah, a little bit.

09:08:55.140 --> 09:08:56.820
Bomb has been planted.

09:08:56.820 --> 09:09:02.660
get the bomb down. Lexi looking to take another fight. Didn't quite get it. The eagle of wonderful,

09:09:02.660 --> 09:09:08.420
trying to chime in. One in the apartment. Woxa kid's very low, so I mean, we'll see. This could

09:09:08.420 --> 09:09:13.060
get dicey if one good clean kill goes the way, but I don't think it will. An innocent punch,

09:09:13.060 --> 09:09:18.020
just going to be a bit too much. So they get the bomb plant. I think Navi, honestly, they don't

09:09:18.020 --> 09:09:21.140
realize how good they have it. They just sort of turtle up a little and try and play the trades.

09:09:21.140 --> 09:09:22.980
I will

09:09:22.980 --> 09:09:28.860
Look towards Maja though. He's alone on B. He goes for a late move into the actual late ish into the apps

09:09:30.140 --> 09:09:33.620
Very costly very risky and it was the first domino

09:09:33.620 --> 09:09:37.460
They didn't knock the rest of them over but it was the first domino to winning that round for Navi

09:09:37.460 --> 09:09:38.620
No, I agree

09:09:38.620 --> 09:09:43.360
I guess, you know, you know V you're not really too upset about that a couple of kills in a bomb on in around that

09:09:43.380 --> 09:09:46.860
That was not loads brought to the table. That was an eco to me

09:09:46.860 --> 09:09:48.980
They don't go for the force that round and now they can have a nice

09:09:48.980 --> 09:09:50.980
you know, we sometimes see

09:09:50.980 --> 09:09:51.980
when you come in to run out of

09:09:51.980 --> 09:09:52.980
this, the four by does require

09:09:52.980 --> 09:09:53.980
somebody to pick up a ghillie

09:09:53.980 --> 09:09:54.980
to have the full belt to you

09:09:54.980 --> 09:09:55.980
too.

09:09:55.980 --> 09:09:56.980
He's across the board.

09:09:56.980 --> 09:09:59.980
That's nice to see.

09:09:59.980 --> 09:10:00.980
Questions now.

09:10:00.980 --> 09:10:01.980
What can they do?

09:10:01.980 --> 09:10:02.980
Can they kickstart this campaign

09:10:02.980 --> 09:10:04.980
on the T side and get back to

09:10:04.980 --> 09:10:05.980
their winning ways that we saw

09:10:05.980 --> 09:10:07.980
in Inferno where they looked so

09:10:07.980 --> 09:10:08.980
calm, so collected.

09:10:08.980 --> 09:10:09.980
We're going to dive on towards

09:10:09.980 --> 09:10:10.980
A here.

09:10:10.980 --> 09:10:12.980
Molly, you just singed the toes

09:10:12.980 --> 09:10:14.980
of Soulfly, but he's able to get

09:10:14.980 --> 09:10:15.980
one.

09:10:15.980 --> 09:10:16.980
And with the support of Zantares,

09:10:16.980 --> 09:10:17.980
they're shutting down this A move

09:10:17.980 --> 09:10:24.860
this a move quite well yeah very clean so far

09:10:24.860 --> 09:10:28.620
hoping that that continues for them I mean what an RV do here really so you

09:10:28.620 --> 09:10:33.580
continue moving forward Zima he found the first as well hold on the second was

09:10:33.580 --> 09:10:40.100
clear that first one I didn't even clock hold the phones what is going on it's

09:10:40.100 --> 09:10:47.460
around here Emma I mean they could pull away they could go be

09:10:47.460 --> 09:10:53.060
I think that's what they want to do. Bit is checking it out.

09:10:53.060 --> 09:10:58.860
I'm really worried about Wacadia here. If he is to fall, being quite aggressive in the

09:10:58.860 --> 09:11:01.580
way that he is, they can scale in towards B quite quickly.

09:11:01.580 --> 09:11:04.660
But they're not going to give it to him. They're just baiting the fact that they could be going

09:11:04.660 --> 09:11:10.540
B, spread to defence, and Bit will look to join them from mid.

09:11:10.540 --> 09:11:12.740
And he finds a head while doing so.

09:11:12.740 --> 09:11:13.740
So quick.

09:11:13.740 --> 09:11:17.340
But it opens the door, doesn't it? It's like, is there anybody behind him?

09:11:17.340 --> 09:11:23.340
They may be up short to be so fast off HP here as well. This is not like me

09:11:24.140 --> 09:11:27.940
Of like has to find this and bits played this almost a perfection

09:11:27.940 --> 09:11:29.940
I think the or my take him but no

09:11:30.140 --> 09:11:34.140
Decadier on his uncomfortable gun. Mrs. The shot gets the Julie's out there a bit better for him

09:11:34.580 --> 09:11:38.860
Into the one versus three overall down to two or back out

09:11:39.660 --> 09:11:45.500
Looking to try and just get one more before he fully enters the threshold into the site not gonna happen and

09:12:15.500 --> 09:12:21.820
really nice. It does really well. It's gonna follow it up. Wonderful. We'll open up proceedings.

09:12:24.940 --> 09:12:32.460
Pass the parcel with this orb to be honest. Wonderful once a little bit more. Of course a

09:12:32.460 --> 09:12:39.180
four spy for the CC side but this could be uncomfortable. Imma again with a sharp shot

09:12:39.180 --> 09:12:43.900
from him. We'll find Zantara's Soulfly or four and we're down to two and MP9 and an orb.

09:12:43.900 --> 09:12:46.900
8 of 2 versus 5. They haven't even done a point of damage yet.

09:12:48.200 --> 09:12:49.400
We're KDA hidden away.

09:12:50.900 --> 09:12:54.500
I can see him getting... 1, for sure. Maybe 2.

09:12:54.600 --> 09:12:59.900
Ooh, the smoke went down perfectly for him. He just didn't... realize in time.

09:13:00.800 --> 09:13:04.400
Just a 1 kill, Magi on the backside here with the MP9.

09:13:04.400 --> 09:13:09.400
Does he want to hold this into the next round? Does he want to try and make some money, take some guns away?

09:13:09.400 --> 09:13:19.420
It looks a bit funnier on their server side than it does on our Relay, but yeah, if that's

09:13:19.420 --> 09:13:20.920
still the way it's done, I don't really know.

09:13:20.920 --> 09:13:23.120
It's to be fair, moving into a new game and everything.

09:13:23.120 --> 09:13:27.440
It's been a while since I've been in the admin side, but that doesn't really look worth looking

09:13:27.440 --> 09:13:28.440
at.

09:13:28.440 --> 09:13:32.240
He's just kind of dead, whereas it felt like Bit was like sat on top of him like, haha,

09:13:32.240 --> 09:13:33.240
look at this, guys.

09:13:33.240 --> 09:13:34.240
Yeah.

09:13:34.240 --> 09:13:41.320
I mean, I've seen a few, I think sometimes we get like that like slight spectator on where it's the body's gonna fly up

09:13:41.320 --> 09:13:48.320
Yeah, yeah, smoke's usually different in Go again, I don't think so, yeah

09:13:48.320 --> 09:13:54.820
But, I don't know how the sausage is made anymore, you know, because I don't have to do it myself

09:13:54.820 --> 09:13:57.320
Yeah, technologically illiterate, so

09:13:57.320 --> 09:14:03.800
Either way, the hunt does net something, or likes the hunter, aggro exit is probably the

09:14:03.800 --> 09:14:05.960
more apt way of putting it.

09:14:05.960 --> 09:14:12.040
An upgrade on the MP9 but it's still a really nice round for a Norvee, nonetheless, tidings

09:14:12.040 --> 09:14:13.040
up.

09:14:13.040 --> 09:14:17.640
But the AK saved by Maja, but that's it.

09:14:17.640 --> 09:14:23.040
Really decent position to put yourself in now.

09:14:23.040 --> 09:14:34.040
My Jeff, I'm at AK, he's going to go searching and all net one but an immediate trade and unfortunately that AK is now dropped in a really unrecoverable spot and there's no support.

09:14:34.040 --> 09:14:39.040
Yeah. I mean you have to try and create something with it really so I do understand that.

09:14:39.040 --> 09:14:41.040
I kind of like when they move with the pack though.

09:14:41.040 --> 09:14:48.040
No, it does feel a bit better. Sometimes you get like the saved AWP going off on its own trying to find an opening pick.

09:14:48.040 --> 09:14:53.540
I think of a rifle though, like I like it where it's like the pistols draw the crosshairs away a bit of a human flashbang type thing.

09:14:53.540 --> 09:14:54.240
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

09:14:54.940 --> 09:15:09.340
We're going alone like we need something miraculous to make this round a possibility and now that AK probably not going to be recovered unless they go for a late attempt to the retake towards what looks like it's going to be B coming through under and then they can scoop it up potentially but.

09:15:09.340 --> 09:15:13.020
I can't see where Katie's dead to right, which he is.

09:15:13.020 --> 09:15:14.020
The cars, they'll find him.

09:15:14.020 --> 09:15:19.540
Now they start moving forward, and as we can see, absolutely no one's home.

09:15:19.540 --> 09:15:22.260
Yeah, looks good.

09:15:22.260 --> 09:15:26.420
I mean, as to be expected, no hiccups is what you want, really.

09:15:26.420 --> 09:15:28.380
AK finds one and it's traded.

09:15:28.380 --> 09:15:29.380
Fair.

09:15:29.380 --> 09:15:35.140
But you just don't want to be losing any kills or guns if you can help it to these

09:15:35.140 --> 09:15:36.140
pistols.

09:15:36.140 --> 09:15:37.140
Is the AK still there?

09:15:37.140 --> 09:15:38.140
I wonder if they get shuffled away.

09:15:38.140 --> 09:15:42.580
I thought so, that it would still be here, but someone's come back. Someone's come back for it.

09:15:42.580 --> 09:15:44.740
It was for a while. Somebody definitely came back for it.

09:15:44.740 --> 09:15:47.340
Oh, no, no, no, no, it is. It is there. They've actually...

09:15:47.940 --> 09:15:48.440
Huh?

09:15:48.440 --> 09:15:49.140
They've got two of them.

09:15:49.140 --> 09:15:51.840
Oh, yeah. Immersed. They've got Immersed. Okay, okay. So they've definitely done...

09:15:51.840 --> 09:15:53.440
Yeah, for a second that confused me as well.

09:15:53.440 --> 09:15:54.740
Oh, my God, I just got to vote.

09:15:55.440 --> 09:15:56.840
Yeah, they're all good.

09:15:56.840 --> 09:15:59.640
But they did not get rid of them.

09:15:59.640 --> 09:15:59.940
Yeah.

09:15:59.940 --> 09:16:04.540
But they did get a good read on the timing of like, let's make sure we deny the AKs away.

09:16:04.540 --> 09:16:06.940
Yeah, it couldn't seem on the floor. I wasn't sure if it was like a brief window.

09:16:06.940 --> 09:16:11.040
Yeah, this way it's like they'd like shuffle them up the stairs and throw one over or what not.

09:16:12.240 --> 09:16:15.940
Either way, nice round to be getting.

09:16:17.540 --> 09:16:21.940
Bro, for like half a second, I thought they just invented an AK out of thin air, to be honest.

09:16:22.440 --> 09:16:25.440
Because we were looking for one AK and then suddenly they had two.

09:16:25.940 --> 09:16:26.640
It's magic.

09:16:27.940 --> 09:16:30.840
And they're donating for just a moment.

09:16:31.040 --> 09:16:33.640
But yeah, they take the ones that potential away, which is going to be a good feeling.

09:16:33.640 --> 09:16:39.880
and again. It's Navi in full control, guiding the proceedings here, straight out on towards

09:16:39.880 --> 09:16:46.320
a smoke. It actually just gives it away. It wasn't necessarily a molly for down below.

09:16:46.320 --> 09:16:51.160
So Fly does very well to find one. The classic break of the smoke, not quite working. The

09:16:51.160 --> 09:16:57.440
person who broke it, Emma. Layton Kahn finds a pretty big kill, gains him a lot of room

09:16:57.440 --> 09:17:03.600
now. But CT left open. Flank as well brewing. And you know, they'll think they've got

09:17:03.600 --> 09:17:08.080
handle on this because bit is in palace. Bit was having a look.

09:17:08.080 --> 09:17:15.720
Wikipedia trying to really take as much as he possibly can, and he will absolutely demolish

09:17:15.720 --> 09:17:19.920
them there. Clean in on the ramp. Very well played.

09:17:19.920 --> 09:17:24.440
In with the only one left. Takes a dink through the walls, so he's slightly healthier than

09:17:24.440 --> 09:17:28.080
you might expect, but surely not long for this world.

09:17:28.080 --> 09:17:32.480
Just take one with him at the moment. Could maybe get the bomb plant as there's a lot

09:17:32.480 --> 09:17:37.480
I don't know that Woxic would necessarily want to peek into this.

09:17:37.480 --> 09:17:42.480
The window is closing, Wokadia coming in from the side in just a moment here.

09:17:47.480 --> 09:17:52.480
Woxic waits, and he just jumps in the air, gives it an easy one.

09:17:52.480 --> 09:17:57.480
That always all down to Wokadia though, that flank, the timing on it's absolutely perfect,

09:17:57.480 --> 09:18:01.480
and the trigger discipline as well to wait for a second player rotating,

09:18:01.480 --> 09:18:04.260
Yeah, just dropping the bomb make sure you get both

09:18:04.260 --> 09:18:08.780
I thought it was move alone would be enough, but they actually take a real age

09:18:08.780 --> 09:18:14.940
To commit to moving forward and towards the A side like it felt like with where in his position was and with how quickly

09:18:14.940 --> 09:18:19.440
He moved through con killed that guy in towards a rank at a front bench

09:18:19.440 --> 09:18:24.240
And then taking jungle control that they could plant for essentially top corner and play around there

09:18:25.120 --> 09:18:29.740
They just take so long with that kind of bomb the back of the car say it takes ages to move forward there

09:18:29.740 --> 09:18:34.780
so unsure and that uncertainty and uncertainty is what costs them in the end.

09:18:34.780 --> 09:18:37.740
Aurora by back, tie it up.

09:18:37.740 --> 09:18:39.740
Guys, I smoke when there's someone's puffed up.

09:18:39.740 --> 09:18:41.740
There's a bit more on offer here, it feels.

09:18:41.740 --> 09:18:47.740
Again, we kind of, we spoke about this so much in that first map that I just never felt like none of you were made to work.

09:18:47.740 --> 09:18:49.740
They are now being made to work for these rounds.

09:18:49.740 --> 09:18:55.740
This is where Aurora can start hopefully opening up the bank a little bit to give us something in this map.

09:18:55.740 --> 09:18:58.740
Crazy time I'll call as well. I have to respect that massively.

09:18:58.740 --> 09:19:05.740
crazy isn't confusing just in the sense of like getting ahead of everything really proactive

09:19:05.740 --> 09:19:09.460
which is what we often like to see but it does feel like a timeout that you might not

09:19:09.460 --> 09:19:14.000
necessarily need so Blake trying to get really ahead of things and maybe it is going to work

09:19:14.000 --> 09:19:18.180
for them here is that hitting out on towards a wox it though finds himself in the perfect

09:19:18.180 --> 09:19:24.380
spot with Katie a chiming in they're just very very ready for this Katie you'll make

09:19:24.380 --> 09:19:28.340
a quick move they've got to recover the bomb is the big thing for Navi there's some low

09:19:28.340 --> 09:19:32.020
HP bars, but they will absolutely eat the nades.

09:19:32.860 --> 09:19:35.380
Two HGs and the fire is the big thing.

09:19:35.380 --> 09:19:36.060
They get stuck.

09:19:36.060 --> 09:19:42.980
They get slowed in the fire on the ramp, which it feels like a lot of effort to get away from it.

09:19:43.260 --> 09:19:44.340
Wonderful is the only one left.

09:19:44.340 --> 09:19:46.620
So. Timeout's cool.

09:19:47.340 --> 09:19:48.580
There was an idea there.

09:19:48.580 --> 09:19:51.020
Go fast, get in the mixer.

09:19:51.860 --> 09:19:55.700
Again, spacing, not quite good enough from Navi, allowing multi frags to come through.

09:19:55.700 --> 09:19:59.760
Yeah, and then when things are to fall apart for Navi

09:20:00.860 --> 09:20:05.380
Aurora just just dumped the entire kitchen sink at them right every bit of you till we've got

09:20:05.980 --> 09:20:10.900
Throw it into war front. We know that we can split the pack here and cause even further issues. Yes. Fantastic work

09:20:13.460 --> 09:20:19.340
That's silver lining is that the opal stay alive 30 seconds to save it so

09:20:20.380 --> 09:20:22.700
Maybe presumptuous of me to say it will stay alive

09:20:22.700 --> 09:20:27.960
You might have to fight for this and there's the first major drops. They now know for damn sure. He's not gonna be giving this round again

09:20:27.960 --> 09:20:34.060
Yeah, but I don't think they want to go for it themselves. It's don't really have the the residual cash to fall back on it's a risk it like

09:20:35.300 --> 09:20:38.200
Vocadia and walks even just one of them was to fall it's still gonna

09:20:38.940 --> 09:20:44.480
Have a bit of a damper in the mood. Well, I think it still is to be honest with that. Yeah, kill from wonderful

09:20:44.480 --> 09:20:47.780
To bring it down to two lost bonus is not being great to be trained, you know

09:20:47.780 --> 09:20:52.780
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It still might be a little bit awkward, but at the same time, same thing will be here for Na'Vi.

09:20:56.280 --> 09:21:01.280
Yeah, so in theory, a hopeful chance for Aurora to build some money.

09:21:05.780 --> 09:21:08.280
We have seen efficacy on those four spies.

09:21:11.280 --> 09:21:14.780
Maybe Na'Vi, think about it, but no, they are going to eco around the AWP.

09:21:14.780 --> 09:21:20.640
your tiny bit of utility ball is what turns my crank, but other than that, you're not

09:21:20.640 --> 09:21:29.900
expecting too much. Yeah. Nope. Okay, they'll get there. They'll get there. Oh, yeah. That

09:21:29.900 --> 09:21:35.240
is a really nice shot from wonderful. Just the head to spot out there, but it's enough

09:21:35.240 --> 09:21:41.400
for him. And there we go. The pistols doing what they need to do to facilitate that orb.

09:21:41.400 --> 09:21:44.340
And you know the AWP is there, because he's saved.

09:21:44.340 --> 09:21:45.340
Yeah.

09:21:45.340 --> 09:21:46.340
What is around it?

09:21:46.340 --> 09:21:48.740
There's an air of mystery in terms of the buy.

09:21:48.740 --> 09:21:51.140
Have they forced?

09:21:51.140 --> 09:21:57.660
Are they doing something slightly heavy, even like tech nines and light armor?

09:21:57.660 --> 09:22:00.100
This is very much with that eco bouncing around.

09:22:00.100 --> 09:22:03.620
Like you said, I think you kind of give it a call of like, they should be eco.

09:22:03.620 --> 09:22:04.620
Yeah.

09:22:04.620 --> 09:22:09.820
It's not a definite thing, and you might also slip in, they could be half bought, right?

09:22:09.820 --> 09:22:16.820
hard to fully track the econ. They will be ready for this B hit coming their way. However,

09:22:16.820 --> 09:22:20.500
wonderful. Keep swatting himself in. It's the rotations that you have to worry about.

09:22:20.500 --> 09:22:24.100
Wonderful has done everything he absolutely can in this round. It might not be enough,

09:22:24.100 --> 09:22:29.060
unfortunately, and Alexi B just gets taken down. I mean, fair play from wonderful. Again,

09:22:29.060 --> 09:22:34.140
keeping their econ low with the three kills. But maybe if it was just a pistol kill in

09:22:34.140 --> 09:22:35.620
there, that really would have been on for Nardi.

09:22:35.620 --> 09:22:37.920
Yeah, it's really not a bad effort, by any means.

09:22:40.220 --> 09:22:41.720
Now this should be...

09:22:42.720 --> 09:22:46.820
The very least where, again, now for Rory can properly build upon this.

09:22:46.820 --> 09:22:50.520
Because you can see, wonderful, because he said they're on prior, but then have you up there.

09:22:50.920 --> 09:22:54.620
He only has a deagle and armor to work with, the rest of the team can buy as the eco of the previous.

09:22:56.820 --> 09:23:00.020
The funds, the finances are a little weird for Navi.

09:23:00.020 --> 09:23:05.940
I think we're wonderful looking quite sharp. It's gonna be a bit of a miss to not have him on the all

09:23:06.060 --> 09:23:08.060
It's been pretty confident with it

09:23:09.580 --> 09:23:14.760
Yeah, that is true, and it feels like especially so far in this series. He's been winning out by head to head against woxic

09:23:15.980 --> 09:23:21.540
Woxic didn't offer up a lot to be completely honest into was that first one? It was basically only Zantara's

09:23:23.460 --> 09:23:27.940
Now we're getting a little bit more especially from wokadia who we kind of critiques and spoke about

09:23:27.940 --> 09:23:32.240
got his own head in towards map number one but he's looking a lot more comfortable here so far.

09:23:32.240 --> 09:23:41.720
That's been honest for Aurora. You found round number nine. There's a sixth there. You probably

09:23:41.720 --> 09:23:45.720
then break the economy as well of Na'Vi once again. So you should get a seventh behind it,

09:23:45.720 --> 09:23:51.000
guaranteeing a lead on the CT side. Like you could very quickly at the tail end of this half

09:23:51.000 --> 09:23:56.600
scale. So actually building up a really decent first half. So a fair decent under pressure on

09:24:26.600 --> 09:24:36.600
the game. Good needs here.

09:24:36.600 --> 09:24:38.600
Wonderful survives on just to

09:24:38.600 --> 09:24:40.600
HP as they look to mount the

09:24:40.600 --> 09:24:42.600
comeback into this be bomb site.

09:24:42.600 --> 09:24:43.600
There is a boost up as always

09:24:43.600 --> 09:24:44.600
effective. I think they just

09:24:44.600 --> 09:24:46.600
have to play the patient's game

09:24:46.600 --> 09:24:47.600
around said boost. Wonderful

09:24:47.600 --> 09:24:48.600
knows that he has to take some

09:24:48.600 --> 09:24:50.600
chance to see a given his low

09:24:50.600 --> 09:24:52.600
HP and he will indeed finds

09:24:52.600 --> 09:24:54.600
entire is that now starts to

09:24:54.600 --> 09:25:02.680
I have to give it up. Navi will stay close to them. Really nice round. I love that boost,

09:25:02.680 --> 09:25:06.120
even though it wasn't required. It might be something that they try and use a little

09:25:06.120 --> 09:25:11.720
later down the line. Wonderful with his two HP will be far enough away that he's fine.

09:25:11.720 --> 09:25:15.960
So he survives. That's a good round to take back. But you can see the start. Well, Kady

09:25:15.960 --> 09:25:18.920
are getting one right early in towards that round. It feels like it puts you in a decent

09:25:18.920 --> 09:25:25.640
spot but because his entry onto that B site is immaculate that swing from him is so unbelievably

09:25:25.640 --> 09:25:30.600
good and one of we even this fine just gets a little fortune to catch Santora's tunnel visioning

09:25:30.600 --> 09:25:37.400
to a different spot so we'll call for their first time out they know Navi are

09:25:39.800 --> 09:25:41.320
even down their necks a little bit

09:25:48.920 --> 09:25:55.920
very, very big round. You find

09:25:55.920 --> 09:25:56.920
this here. You know, we kind of

09:25:56.920 --> 09:25:58.920
spoke about them that previous

09:25:58.920 --> 09:25:59.920
round was so important. They

09:25:59.920 --> 09:26:01.920
lost it. Money's broken Aurora

09:26:01.920 --> 09:26:03.920
can scale. Scripts kind of flipped

09:26:03.920 --> 09:26:04.920
towards this round where it's the

09:26:04.920 --> 09:26:05.920
opposite side of Rory. You lose

09:26:05.920 --> 09:26:07.920
this round money broken and

09:26:07.920 --> 09:26:08.920
Navi not only tie the game up,

09:26:08.920 --> 09:26:09.920
but actually they should be

09:26:09.920 --> 09:26:11.920
taking a lead and maybe even

09:26:11.920 --> 09:26:12.920
for the half itself, which to do

09:26:12.920 --> 09:26:14.920
that on the T side of Mirage is

09:26:14.920 --> 09:26:17.920
pretty huge. Very, very back

09:26:17.920 --> 09:26:23.920
come close even in the streakier portions for these teams.

09:26:23.920 --> 09:26:31.920
So, all very costly, all very unsure, no round is like set in stone even though the buy is not great for Aurora.

09:26:31.920 --> 09:26:38.920
Woxic gonna get aggressive, finds the opener onto Mikaze, a quick attempt at tracking him down.

09:26:38.920 --> 09:26:43.920
They have actually looked to massively pick up the pace as they feel they've got good space on short,

09:26:43.920 --> 09:26:46.800
but Woxic, too smart for them.

09:26:46.800 --> 09:26:49.920
Santares will help out with a spam through.

09:26:49.920 --> 09:26:51.760
Woxic misses a shot.

09:26:51.760 --> 09:26:54.160
Doesn't go down to the nape, just about.

09:26:54.160 --> 09:26:55.440
It's all going to be onto wonderful here.

09:26:55.440 --> 09:26:56.880
One versus four.

09:26:56.880 --> 09:26:58.880
And Woxic is the man that we watch,

09:26:58.880 --> 09:27:00.240
but his teammates have done a very good job

09:27:00.240 --> 09:27:02.480
of chiming in, working around his face.

09:27:02.480 --> 09:27:03.600
Wonderful looks.

09:27:03.600 --> 09:27:06.080
Very clean, but cannot get it done.

09:27:06.080 --> 09:27:08.800
And a Q1 for Aurora, as you say, does go their way.

09:27:08.800 --> 09:27:11.360
So really difficult to split these two teams right now.

09:27:11.360 --> 09:27:14.060
Back and forth, back and forth.

09:27:14.560 --> 09:27:17.860
Need the side really at the moment able to

09:27:18.360 --> 09:27:21.360
get a proper stranglehold on momentum and run with it.

09:27:21.860 --> 09:27:25.160
And he's making for some exciting CS, but for Woxig does so well.

09:27:25.160 --> 09:27:27.360
That first hit in particular is really good to get,

09:27:27.360 --> 09:27:29.560
but it's also such a good information gatherback.

09:27:29.560 --> 09:27:32.360
How can God save me? He stays alive at the end there, I have no idea.

09:27:32.660 --> 09:27:34.360
Should have fallen, but doesn't.

09:27:34.660 --> 09:27:39.360
And how means that, Navi, have to come into the penultimate round of playing this off with

09:27:39.360 --> 09:27:43.220
I've ever been walking one. It's a hero AK 4-bit

09:27:47.280 --> 09:27:50.800
If you had armor, I'll be there my cars they utilize it here, but

09:27:52.480 --> 09:27:55.720
We'll see what bit can do he's been a little quiet to start off this map though

09:27:59.360 --> 09:28:04.240
Probably a little bit of a pasta parcel though he goes in first yeah, someone else takes it and well

09:28:04.240 --> 09:28:06.740
It was getting exactly that bit might get boosted in here. Oh

09:28:06.740 --> 09:28:14.420
Oh, oh my. Torres supported and they're after him in the one way or another.

09:28:14.420 --> 09:28:18.900
Karzay gonna move quick, gets his hands onto the AK, lovely bit of movement here, it will

09:28:18.900 --> 09:28:19.900
be heard.

09:28:19.900 --> 09:28:25.260
Magalow, Magalow does just, I'll get the catch on him, he's quite lucky.

09:28:25.260 --> 09:28:28.980
Looking decent himself, but again, team effort here.

09:28:28.980 --> 09:28:34.500
Aurora's doing a very good job of just picking players off, working very well together here

09:28:34.500 --> 09:28:36.460
on this CT side.

09:28:36.460 --> 09:28:40.500
They will take that mathematical lead, still space for Narvi of course, to close as much

09:28:40.500 --> 09:28:46.100
as they can, but Aurora are opening the door to map number three, potentially being needed.

09:28:46.100 --> 09:28:50.700
Yeah, they are.

09:28:50.700 --> 09:28:55.700
Already up to seven is great, if you can make an eight-four-half out of this, Aurora, you

09:28:55.700 --> 09:28:59.740
put yourself in a good spot, seven to five, feels like a bit of a handshake concerning

09:28:59.740 --> 09:29:06.020
this map being relatively well lent towards that CT side, feels like somewhat even meat

09:29:06.020 --> 09:29:10.500
and ground. They're going really quick towards it and it's going to work. Oh, is it going to work?

09:29:10.500 --> 09:29:18.100
Wacadia for two, soul flies, flash into us top mid is sublime and that gives him two easy fights

09:29:18.900 --> 09:29:22.180
and he looks for more a little late bit there but Wacadia will net the third

09:29:22.740 --> 09:29:27.780
and no matter what moment it's all on the shoulders of Emma and Bitt to bail out Narvi

09:29:28.340 --> 09:29:30.740
in a 2v5 turn two versus four.

09:29:30.740 --> 09:29:45.000
more. Can they pull off a miracle here? It'd be a hell of a thing, but feeling very unlikely.

09:29:45.000 --> 09:29:49.260
Katie is 17 and 7. Yeah, he's going crazy. I mean, certainly felt it after the previous

09:29:49.260 --> 09:29:55.860
map about that pep talk in between. And they're doing very well here. It's, well, yeah, just

09:29:55.860 --> 09:29:56.860
looking much, much better.

09:29:56.860 --> 09:29:59.860
Oh, Katie, uh, don't lose out.

09:29:59.860 --> 09:30:01.860
Wondling in, but he's spotted him at.

09:30:01.860 --> 09:30:04.860
That is the key thing they know about him.

09:30:04.860 --> 09:30:06.860
Team A table to deal. It's all going to be on bit here.

09:30:06.860 --> 09:30:09.860
Who may well have been heard running in.

09:30:09.860 --> 09:30:11.860
Little elbow spotted, ought to cover the cross,

09:30:11.860 --> 09:30:13.860
and he will indeed go down.

09:30:13.860 --> 09:30:16.860
So, 8-4, feeling pretty damn good here, Aurora.

09:30:16.860 --> 09:30:18.860
The energy definitely picked up,

09:30:18.860 --> 09:30:20.860
and they are looking to keep this series going,

09:30:20.860 --> 09:30:23.860
keep themselves alive here at IEM Rio.

09:30:23.860 --> 09:30:26.860
We will catch you in a few, the culmination of Mirage.

09:31:53.860 --> 09:31:57.460
This one is called a whisper, okay, but the truth don't let it go

09:31:57.460 --> 09:32:00.860
You take your taste for it, it's like you take a cooler

09:32:00.860 --> 09:32:03.860
We don't have it, what's the matter, what's the matter?

09:32:05.860 --> 09:32:07.860
Did it in my body, baby?

09:32:08.860 --> 09:32:11.860
Oh, I said my heart is going

09:32:12.860 --> 09:32:14.860
Did it in my body, baby?

09:32:15.860 --> 09:32:18.860
Oh, I said my heart is going

09:32:19.860 --> 09:32:21.860
Did it in my body, baby?

09:32:21.860 --> 09:32:26.860
I know what it's like to fall in love with you

09:32:26.860 --> 09:32:31.860
I'm a baby, I'm a baby

09:32:31.860 --> 09:32:34.860
Don't want no small talk, act like no small talk

09:32:34.860 --> 09:32:37.860
Just wanna go down on the floor

09:32:38.860 --> 09:32:42.860
Yeah, what you pay for is more than what you pay for

09:32:45.860 --> 09:32:48.860
So we take the floor to A to F to skate up

09:32:48.860 --> 09:32:53.180
I've got the waving and the fishing, they've got no place here

09:32:53.180 --> 09:32:56.540
When you came for this one, when you came for this one

09:32:56.540 --> 09:32:58.780
We're coming for one, one, one

09:33:01.500 --> 09:33:03.820
I'm feeling my heart is beating

09:33:04.700 --> 09:33:07.420
I don't know what is in my heart, it's beating

09:33:08.380 --> 09:33:10.620
I'm feeling my heart is beating

09:33:11.660 --> 09:33:14.220
I don't know what is in my heart, it's beating

09:33:15.580 --> 09:33:17.580
I'm feeling my heart is beating

09:33:17.580 --> 09:33:39.980
Oh, Aurora, they've laid down the gauntlet in that first half, 8 to 4.

09:33:39.980 --> 09:33:42.140
Generally speaking, it feels like it should be enough.

09:33:42.140 --> 09:33:46.220
They get a strong start towards the second half and we could be turning our attention

09:33:46.220 --> 09:33:50.460
into discussions of a map 3 and in the game like this, let's be honest,

09:33:50.460 --> 09:33:54.540
Harvey, I feel like it deserves this is such an important match with

09:33:54.540 --> 09:33:57.340
elimination on the line, but qualifications of playoffs.

09:33:57.860 --> 09:33:59.180
I love the side. Yeah, for sure.

09:33:59.180 --> 09:34:01.580
I mean, definitely in terms of the stakes, it would be great.

09:34:02.460 --> 09:34:06.220
I think Navi, though, would not want to let things reset again.

09:34:06.900 --> 09:34:08.660
That does do is really interesting as well.

09:34:08.660 --> 09:34:10.820
It's a map with both of these teams like at the moment.

09:34:11.540 --> 09:34:13.540
That could be quite spicy.

09:34:13.540 --> 09:34:17.980
be unconvinced by this navi mirage at the moment which is surprising because

09:34:17.980 --> 09:34:23.620
they've looked around this map no it's true I think a big change up from aurora

09:34:23.620 --> 09:34:28.700
is the key thing maybe now be feeling like they had enough of a download on

09:34:28.700 --> 09:34:31.980
this team fall kazi with a big one through the smoke though to kick us off

09:34:31.980 --> 09:34:38.020
here in the pistol the break that comes in little catches is there any headshots

09:34:38.020 --> 09:34:42.300
but my car's a the answer is no but he's spot a lot of information to work with

09:34:42.300 --> 09:34:44.420
of the very least. Meanwhile,

09:34:44.420 --> 09:34:48.260
the CT control here from Aurora.

09:34:48.260 --> 09:34:50.500
Certainly an interesting smoke.

09:34:50.500 --> 09:34:51.700
I mean, it's pretty telegraphed, isn't it?

09:34:51.700 --> 09:34:52.700
They're going to be behind it.

09:34:52.700 --> 09:34:55.300
Yeah, they get their own CT smoke out

09:34:55.300 --> 09:34:57.620
on the Navi end to like try and split them up.

09:34:57.620 --> 09:34:59.620
Maybe. Yeah, doesn't really work

09:34:59.620 --> 09:35:01.980
because we're catering in particular on the clock.

09:35:01.980 --> 09:35:03.460
Goes crazy.

09:35:03.460 --> 09:35:06.780
I think now we just needed to send it together in good time.

09:35:06.780 --> 09:35:09.460
They don't land the head shots and a really big steal.

09:35:09.460 --> 09:35:14.020
I think because they're finding the early kill and the information

09:35:15.020 --> 09:35:18.340
Is is a lot right and it just doesn't even come close. That's it. I

09:35:19.900 --> 09:35:23.780
Was a little worried about my job playing hot to the left and Simon smoke disappears

09:35:23.780 --> 09:35:25.700
You just like a dead man walking, but it's fine

09:35:26.780 --> 09:35:28.780
individual

09:35:30.420 --> 09:35:35.820
Yeah, it's a right sunshine. Yeah get into it. We said this really early on what do you say?

09:35:35.820 --> 09:35:40.360
He said after the pistol in the first round of this map, Wokse got really loud and he said that's what we want.

09:35:40.360 --> 09:35:43.900
Get fired up. That's when Aurora play their best Counter-Strike.

09:35:44.580 --> 09:35:47.820
We are seeing her now. Himmler spotted and now smoking his face.

09:35:47.820 --> 09:35:52.440
He's under a lot of pressure and he's gaudling in this position.

09:35:52.900 --> 09:36:00.820
It's Bit and Macarze though that will open up proceedings to a slight overface and look at the damage dealt towards Aurora.

09:36:00.820 --> 09:36:09.180
remaining to 28 and 27 points of HP a piece and now on a two versus five surely

09:36:09.180 --> 09:36:13.980
absolutely dead to right here and bit will make sure of it's all for the last

09:36:13.980 --> 09:36:20.860
man with a Mac 10 and no chance of the one versus five so maybe closer a little

09:36:20.860 --> 09:36:24.260
bit too much in this one they are a little bit overconfident they over face

09:36:24.260 --> 09:36:28.020
and they pay the price not me they might be struggling a bit in this map but

09:36:28.020 --> 09:36:33.260
They're still short. I mean just a complete con rush for the most part

09:36:33.260 --> 09:36:37.260
I think with a little bit of a lurking presence on short or whatever like one player

09:36:37.780 --> 09:36:41.940
Taking his time and really not be just playing the perfect setup to counter that

09:36:42.660 --> 09:36:49.740
So as him is looking a little awkward the reason he doesn't put the smoke down is there's a scout on toll booth

09:36:49.740 --> 09:36:52.760
Hmm, so I think he's a little bit like if I smoke this

09:36:52.760 --> 09:36:54.760
my scout won't be able to see.

09:36:54.760 --> 09:36:58.760
And so he's maybe thinking half way whatever,

09:36:58.760 --> 09:37:01.760
and maybe someone even tells him to smoke here,

09:37:01.760 --> 09:37:03.760
because initially it looked like he wanted to move away

09:37:03.760 --> 09:37:05.760
and just leave the space open.

09:37:05.760 --> 09:37:06.760
And it does end up working.

09:37:06.760 --> 09:37:07.760
The scout hits two types,

09:37:07.760 --> 09:37:09.760
and I think that's just where the whole panic came in,

09:37:09.760 --> 09:37:11.760
and then the crunch from the rest of the guys in mid

09:37:11.760 --> 09:37:13.760
while everyone's trying to focus on this scout.

09:37:13.760 --> 09:37:16.760
So really well found.

09:37:16.760 --> 09:37:18.760
A big one for Narvi.

09:37:18.760 --> 09:37:21.760
And another forced by wind for them, by the way.

09:37:21.760 --> 09:37:22.880
by the way. Yeah, exactly.

09:37:22.880 --> 09:37:24.480
They're so consistent on them.

09:37:24.480 --> 09:37:27.360
Just their mentality, their approach is really good.

09:37:27.360 --> 09:37:28.760
We do get a force back on us once,

09:37:28.760 --> 09:37:31.000
and Wacadia has slipped the net here.

09:37:31.000 --> 09:37:32.120
Oh, hang on.

09:37:32.120 --> 09:37:32.920
Easy to get double checked.

09:37:32.920 --> 09:37:33.800
Thank God it does.

09:37:33.800 --> 09:37:36.160
There was a real moment that could have been dicey.

09:37:36.160 --> 09:37:37.800
Alexey, all fine.

09:37:37.800 --> 09:37:40.160
Wacadia.

09:37:40.160 --> 09:37:41.720
And now just three tech nines remaining.

09:37:41.720 --> 09:37:44.240
One spoke to work with.

09:37:44.240 --> 09:37:48.160
It looks like they're going to dive back in towards this B site.

09:37:48.160 --> 09:37:48.920
That's the luck.

09:37:48.920 --> 09:37:50.360
Two players here to beat them, one of which

09:37:50.360 --> 09:37:54.680
the Mac 10 of Alexi, which could print a little bit of cash for the end of this round and

09:37:56.440 --> 09:38:00.840
It's a decent spot to be and yes, the loss of the pistol is bad, but

09:38:00.840 --> 09:38:05.560
if anything, the winner of the force by is even better and it gives you a bit more of a runway

09:38:05.560 --> 09:38:10.440
to work with and we can of course see it here. I mean, deadly serious. Like if they

09:38:10.440 --> 09:38:13.240
can't get bomb plants and things, I think Aurora could be in a really

09:38:14.040 --> 09:38:17.400
dangerous position. Alexi be with a late jumping though.

09:38:17.400 --> 09:38:29.400
So, does lose his life, Mikaze holding the line, drawing them in, trying to buy time for his teammates and he does very well to deny more kills and deny that bomb pan.

09:38:29.400 --> 09:38:33.400
Right, even if he gets two and he goes down quick, there was probably a plant happening.

09:38:33.400 --> 09:38:43.400
So, really, really well done. I think if they can just starve them out of the econ on that T side, it can be pretty hard to get those plants going.

09:38:43.400 --> 09:38:51.720
Really good stuff from Navi here to continue this on, but it's difficult could come crumbling down probably not in this next round

09:38:51.720 --> 09:38:53.720
But the one following

09:38:53.720 --> 09:38:55.720
Please come out

09:38:55.880 --> 09:38:57.880
Yeah smart there really is

09:38:59.960 --> 09:39:03.320
So I throw around unfortunately here for Aurora

09:39:04.760 --> 09:39:08.040
Obviously should be making this a two-round game getting up towards that seventh

09:39:08.040 --> 09:39:16.440
around like this you want to make sure A there's not expensive for an RV and B also just denying

09:39:16.440 --> 09:39:21.720
the plan just make life as difficult for Aurora as you can really constrict that

09:39:21.720 --> 09:39:26.960
east side economy as much as you possibly can in terms of your influence and bombs will move

09:39:26.960 --> 09:39:34.040
back over towards A leaving a lurking presence of Maja towards B to hopefully try and draw

09:39:34.040 --> 09:39:37.180
rotations over there and speaking of

09:39:37.180 --> 09:39:39.140
actually they're going to double back to

09:39:39.140 --> 09:39:45.260
be I wonder what might just heard or

09:39:45.260 --> 09:39:48.340
seen that is really drawn them back

09:39:48.340 --> 09:39:50.900
quite immediately

09:39:53.220 --> 09:39:55.520
yeah maybe just trying to keep them

09:39:55.520 --> 09:39:58.820
guessing keep things confusing looking

09:39:58.820 --> 09:40:02.060
to contact through the smoke here maybe

09:40:02.060 --> 09:40:09.060
I'm not sure if he's going to

09:40:09.060 --> 09:40:11.060
be able to move up. He's this.

09:40:11.060 --> 09:40:12.060
Front anchor, which is kind of

09:40:12.060 --> 09:40:14.060
interesting. You would maybe call

09:40:14.060 --> 09:40:16.060
him the anchor, but he's very

09:40:16.060 --> 09:40:18.060
much trying to settle Macaulay,

09:40:18.060 --> 09:40:20.060
who seems more hosted in on the

09:40:20.060 --> 09:40:22.060
site. If that makes sense. Yeah.

09:40:22.060 --> 09:40:24.060
So Alexi, you'd maybe call the

09:40:24.060 --> 09:40:26.060
anchor, but like, you know,

09:40:26.060 --> 09:40:29.060
Macaulay is. The defensive

09:40:29.060 --> 09:40:30.060
line. I don't know. It's a

09:40:30.060 --> 09:40:32.060
the anchor might play more

09:40:34.500 --> 09:40:39.180
Commonly, you know and the way we saw Madge who was like left on be and yeah

09:40:39.180 --> 09:40:44.780
They really sent players up short and whatnot and Madge was sort of making the mistake of over-facing a lot on the other

09:40:44.780 --> 09:40:50.700
Yeah, they're leaving big gaps, but you kind of get the other side here where Alexi's drawing attention and trying to

09:40:51.220 --> 09:40:54.460
Give McCall's a favorable fight which has happened now a couple of times in a row

09:40:54.460 --> 09:41:00.420
Like he's taking fights as they're swinging out focused on jail and focused on wherever Alexi's playing

09:41:00.980 --> 09:41:06.500
That's working. This is gonna be a battle of reactions or a battle of patience

09:41:07.140 --> 09:41:10.680
Who moves first generally speaking of a moves first should lose

09:41:12.180 --> 09:41:15.700
Let's see who starts to get giddy to look for information wonderful

09:41:17.380 --> 09:41:21.580
Slight movements from him do worry me. Hmm stay posted

09:41:21.580 --> 09:41:23.580
Yeah, just try it, you know.

09:41:23.580 --> 09:41:25.580
Bomb and weave as everyone is these days.

09:41:25.580 --> 09:41:28.580
Feels like it should be Soulfly to go first, but I don't know.

09:41:28.580 --> 09:41:30.580
Yeah, it's locked on this angle though, isn't it?

09:41:30.580 --> 09:41:33.580
Yeah, and it does feel like an anti-push type.

09:41:33.580 --> 09:41:35.580
Oh, here we go.

09:41:35.580 --> 09:41:37.580
Whoever moves first, I think, will lose.

09:41:37.580 --> 09:41:40.580
And it looks like that'll be Soulfly, and that is the case.

09:41:40.580 --> 09:41:43.580
It's a battle of wits there. It's a battle of patience, then.

09:41:45.580 --> 09:41:46.580
I'll win it out. There's the opener.

09:41:46.580 --> 09:41:49.580
And in it, we'll get one behind it as well, with a KDF.

09:41:49.580 --> 09:41:53.640
Yeah, Navi all of a sudden coming alive once the guns have come into play man

09:41:54.440 --> 09:41:57.180
Wonderful with a massive reposition here, but still feeling

09:41:57.980 --> 09:42:01.480
Very very confident for the open angle shot does miss

09:42:02.980 --> 09:42:06.960
But he puts up the wall, you know, he says I am here you've got to get through me

09:42:06.980 --> 09:42:10.980
Yeah, and that'll slow down this roll on towards the a bomb site

09:42:10.980 --> 09:42:19.000
It's not gonna happen a flawless one from Navi and Aurora as I said starve them of the bomb plant starve them of a way in

09:42:19.580 --> 09:42:26.580
of that confidence on this T side and just the small switch in your brain that's like,

09:42:26.580 --> 09:42:31.580
okay, we can win. We can get rounds. How did we find out the one? How do we work off of it?

09:42:31.580 --> 09:42:34.580
You're still banging your head against the wall here.

09:42:34.580 --> 09:42:36.580
And although the score line is against them,

09:42:36.580 --> 09:42:40.580
it feels like Narvi are the team that are winning this game.

09:42:40.580 --> 09:42:43.580
Yeah, they're in control and they're starting to streak really well now.

09:42:43.580 --> 09:42:48.580
They're starting to snowball in a position where she's getting really dangerous for Aurora.

09:42:48.580 --> 09:42:54.260
No shocker that we see that second time I'll get called but unfortunately, it's a timeout called where

09:42:55.060 --> 09:42:58.140
You feel that you can't really have that much effect behind it because there isn't gonna be a buyer here

09:42:58.140 --> 09:43:04.060
That was another attempt to the buy which gets immediately shut down flawlessly by Navi. No plot behind it. I mean a

09:43:05.660 --> 09:43:07.660
Horrible spot

09:43:09.220 --> 09:43:13.140
Maybe got a bit of a gimmick in towards this round potentially Aurora but

09:43:13.140 --> 09:43:16.860
generally speaking it feels like it should be a simple one to put to bed so

09:43:16.860 --> 09:43:22.860
you're hoping that a large portion of that tax amount and getting fabric on the

09:43:22.860 --> 09:43:27.420
mic is talking about this following gun run around on the 19 because you lose

09:43:27.420 --> 09:43:30.700
that and then we actually are saying it's getting to do with high territory

09:43:30.700 --> 09:43:38.580
yeah definitely bursting in here Aurora opting to go for a quicker route and

09:43:38.580 --> 09:43:43.380
They've opened the path towards the palace to big break off that smoke.

09:43:43.380 --> 09:43:46.820
It's going to stop the bomb going down, but it's getting a bit weird here in Conn.

09:43:46.820 --> 09:43:50.620
MacAze keeps his head screwed on straight.

09:43:50.620 --> 09:43:55.020
Some turrets find themselves the only one left, and there's still enough chaos going there.

09:43:55.020 --> 09:43:58.900
I could see him finding a kill or two, but there's a lot of players to get through.

09:43:58.900 --> 09:44:01.420
That was very, very dicey in the Conn.

09:44:01.420 --> 09:44:03.060
MacAze does really well.

09:44:03.060 --> 09:44:05.620
They deny that bomb plant. I think it's a huge deal here.

09:44:05.620 --> 09:44:11.540
It's an interesting idea from Aurora. They've obviously gone deep into the strap book here with the

09:44:12.660 --> 09:44:15.140
Jungle push con. Yeah plan

09:44:16.500 --> 09:44:18.260
very

09:44:18.260 --> 09:44:20.420
original and creative kind of strategy

09:44:22.100 --> 09:44:28.820
Yeah, it's an orthodox for for sure. Maybe something to Nabi have seen because they're really adamant on breaking open

09:44:29.380 --> 09:44:31.220
That smoke to try and deny the bomb plan

09:44:31.220 --> 09:44:36.100
I like that as well for Macaulay to kind of take a few steps back and sort of invite them in to chase him.

09:44:40.340 --> 09:44:42.340
Nine all. Tide game.

09:44:45.380 --> 09:44:47.380
What? It's wonderful to have front proceedings.

09:44:47.780 --> 09:44:53.380
You'll find the first one towards Woxic, who got stuck in towards Delpan and Sampares will fall to the hands of Macaulay.

09:44:53.380 --> 09:45:01.140
So another double opener from Navi. Something that's happened a few times now on this CT side and it leaves Aurora reeling.

09:45:01.220 --> 09:45:06.380
A five versus three, but they really don't have a lot of information to fall back on

09:45:06.380 --> 09:45:09.980
and what these CT side setups are looking like in this round specifically.

09:45:09.980 --> 09:45:15.340
They've got one minute to try and figure it out from a numbers advantage.

09:45:15.340 --> 09:45:16.340
We're in trouble.

09:45:16.340 --> 09:45:20.580
If they can't somehow salvage this round, especially if they don't get a plant as well,

09:45:20.580 --> 09:45:24.220
only broken again with Narvin then on double digits, then probably the 11th.

09:45:24.220 --> 09:45:27.260
At that point you've got, at this stretch there's actually one more gun round for Aurora

09:45:27.260 --> 09:45:29.860
to play to stay alive in this tournament.

09:45:29.860 --> 09:45:35.980
I think it's just over. I feel like I've seen enough to be honest like looks were checked out. Yeah, and it just Navi are

09:45:36.860 --> 09:45:38.860
each which way

09:45:39.180 --> 09:45:41.660
He'll it's a post just pulling them apart

09:45:44.020 --> 09:45:47.340
Well a team damage. Yeah, that was the back of his head for sure

09:45:48.460 --> 09:45:50.300
We'll be planted

09:45:50.300 --> 09:45:55.100
Okay, do you just push forwards and you know, Navi you've got to be careful the jobs not finished and

09:45:55.100 --> 09:46:01.900
could certainly slip through their fingers here. Two on two in the CT itself, Mikaze, clean trade,

09:46:01.900 --> 09:46:07.900
but neither player wants to go in. They were trying to use the man advantage to threaten things,

09:46:07.900 --> 09:46:13.500
and it's not happened. It's not happened at all. Mikaze here, one on two now, got a clutch up to

09:46:13.500 --> 09:46:19.740
save them. He's got the information that he needs to work with. They line up for the double swing

09:46:19.740 --> 09:46:24.620
as an idea works well for Aurora and they pull that one back from a five on three. Yeah.

09:46:24.620 --> 09:46:30.460
Two quick opening kills that come through. It's wonderful. MacArthur combined to start this off

09:46:30.460 --> 09:46:35.820
and then it crumbles. That's a tilted to lose for Narvi but credit to Aurora. We were worried that

09:46:35.820 --> 09:46:41.100
they were checked out that they were already a bit of a lost cause. That's a huge recovery.

09:46:41.100 --> 09:46:45.900
I mean, yeah, you speak about like checked out. I think that's maybe what Narvi have a little bit

09:46:45.900 --> 09:46:50.940
you're like, okay, we've got the opening two nice rounds one, you know, it just wins itself from it.

09:46:51.500 --> 09:46:54.380
Not the case, but they're still back. They're still not floated.

09:46:55.020 --> 09:46:59.180
It gets aggressive in a similar vein to the previous round and yeah, again, finds an opener.

09:46:59.180 --> 09:47:01.820
Kind of it did look like what walks cross it was on there, but

09:47:03.980 --> 09:47:05.580
to be so

09:47:08.300 --> 09:47:12.140
we're already in that first side to just take on over into those double digits.

09:47:12.140 --> 09:47:16.380
It's a nice bit of breathing room to have or a bit of just a sigh of relief

09:47:16.380 --> 09:47:20.700
because it looked like they were on track to really just fall in so unbelievably flat.

09:47:22.300 --> 09:47:26.380
But it's another round, as it feels like it's happened so many times now

09:47:27.020 --> 09:47:29.580
where Aurora have got to play from a numbers disadvantage.

09:47:29.580 --> 09:47:32.940
And yes, it worked in that last round, but you can't rely on it.

09:47:35.980 --> 09:47:39.260
Little flash, little miss from Zintara's.

09:47:42.140 --> 09:47:52.140
to build up. It's going to be

09:47:52.140 --> 09:47:56.140
the B split here. So fly

09:47:56.140 --> 09:48:00.140
leading that short move does go

09:48:00.140 --> 09:48:02.140
down. But Zintara is not

09:48:02.140 --> 09:48:04.140
expected. It starts to reveal

09:48:04.140 --> 09:48:06.140
itself. It's still just that

09:48:06.140 --> 09:48:08.140
slim advantage and Lexi B

09:48:08.140 --> 09:48:10.140
traces the outline of magic

09:48:10.140 --> 09:48:13.140
and Tares. There is fire in the way.

09:48:13.140 --> 09:48:16.580
It spreads to him, so all of a sudden,

09:48:16.580 --> 09:48:19.340
and Tares has a newfound confidence, I would imagine.

09:48:19.340 --> 09:48:21.940
He spotted one, was he seen, though,

09:48:21.940 --> 09:48:24.900
is the question, and Bit has a little look, loses his head.

09:48:24.900 --> 09:48:27.340
Wonderful on the AWP. Wonderful on the AWP.

09:48:27.340 --> 09:48:31.020
Trained in and underneath the crosshair to take him down.

09:48:31.020 --> 09:48:35.140
Another near-clutch, another close round, though,

09:48:35.140 --> 09:48:37.060
as we hit double digits for both sides.

09:48:37.060 --> 09:48:39.860
And another near-catastrophe for Navi as well.

09:48:39.860 --> 09:48:44.860
That was so close to a pretty huge fumble in back to back rounds.

09:48:46.360 --> 09:48:50.360
I think both sides will be appreciative of a timeout now.

09:48:50.760 --> 09:48:53.860
Just need to take a beat, take a breather.

09:48:54.360 --> 09:48:59.060
But in particular for Aurora, you come back into the buy.

09:48:59.360 --> 09:49:03.560
But as we can see on that left-hand side, it's not exactly favourable.

09:49:03.660 --> 09:49:06.160
Double-gallilas to come through with the Max 10.

09:49:06.260 --> 09:49:09.460
It's the lesser buys that are there to alleviate the lack of utilities.

09:49:09.460 --> 09:49:12.180
and Taurus can pick up a little bit with his AK.

09:49:15.460 --> 09:49:19.460
We are getting down to the wire here.

09:49:21.180 --> 09:49:22.180
Ten of Peas.

09:49:24.860 --> 09:49:26.380
Always that one now.

09:49:26.380 --> 09:49:29.980
It's just lingers in the back of your mind.

09:49:30.620 --> 09:49:34.460
There's never been a consistent econ to fall back on for Aurora

09:49:34.460 --> 09:49:37.420
for a long time now because they've been struggling with bomb plants.

09:49:37.420 --> 09:49:43.420
and even with lost bonus it's tough and then even when they have one rounds they're still so expensive

09:49:44.460 --> 09:49:50.620
every round is kills winning it you know i mean like if there haven't been any diffusers or any

09:49:52.780 --> 09:49:58.860
close timeouts so they've had the bomb down but they've not necessarily built lost bonus with the bomb

09:50:00.060 --> 09:50:05.580
or extra cash with the bomb i should say and i find an opener here though as i look to create that

09:50:05.580 --> 09:50:13.220
that. And we're KD it takes

09:50:13.320 --> 09:50:14.960
into his own hands again.

09:50:15.060 --> 09:50:16.420
Player that is just begging

09:50:16.520 --> 09:50:18.520
for a bit of support from the

09:50:18.620 --> 09:50:21.960
rest of the. Boys here and

09:50:22.060 --> 09:50:23.460
Zantara is close, but you know

09:50:23.560 --> 09:50:25.260
they need a little bit more. I

09:50:25.360 --> 09:50:27.260
think and close to loose them

09:50:27.360 --> 09:50:29.260
to be fair. I'm trying to I'm

09:50:29.360 --> 09:50:32.240
clutching at straws, but. A

09:50:32.340 --> 09:50:33.740
key opener, none of the less

09:50:33.840 --> 09:50:35.280
and Aurora looking to pivot

09:50:35.280 --> 09:50:40.880
enough be just an eagle not Megs then misses the shot here and the third time

09:50:40.880 --> 09:50:46.160
I'm asking sees him off Alexi fighting for his life and by the skin of his teeth

09:50:46.160 --> 09:50:50.880
stays alive at one point of HP but he will get his kill before dropping he's

09:50:50.880 --> 09:50:56.320
then seen off by an H.E. of Zantares to keep the numbers in favor of Aurora and

09:50:56.320 --> 09:51:02.400
now with that bomb punched in I think you can RV you just save it they've got

09:51:02.400 --> 09:51:20.400
I mean, HP bars go so low to be fair. They've got plenty of cash, and I think if maybe they had the open hand, but it was deep in the side, so that's really your only weapon that feels worth saving at that point.

09:51:20.400 --> 09:51:24.540
that point. Um, I will mention

09:51:24.600 --> 09:51:27.140
that comes down to a two on

09:51:27.140 --> 09:51:27.180
it would have been unfortunat

09:51:33.780 --> 09:51:37.820
that happened at 10 10 is

09:51:37.820 --> 09:51:37.840
say the least. Yeah, you kn

09:51:43.820 --> 09:51:46.360
And he was debating. He was

09:51:46.400 --> 09:51:48.360
that. I think he should have

09:51:48.360 --> 09:51:48.400
short. Yeah. Also a totally

09:51:50.400 --> 09:51:54.340
It's like small things with the double scope, they actually really cost them because you can flick up in time.

09:51:56.140 --> 09:51:56.780
But it's fine.

09:51:58.100 --> 09:51:59.600
I'll point dwelling on the details.

09:52:00.740 --> 09:52:03.340
Vantage Aurora, late.

09:52:04.500 --> 09:52:05.900
In Navi's map pick.

09:52:08.600 --> 09:52:10.400
Still not dead just yet.

09:52:14.400 --> 09:52:18.500
Another moment where both sides are very appreciative to have...

09:52:18.500 --> 09:52:23.540
a moment to take a breather yeah the rounds themselves are so punchy they're

09:52:23.540 --> 09:52:27.620
so pacey that it feels like you just need a moment to relax and think what

09:52:27.620 --> 09:52:30.620
actually just happened there and some very talkative coaches on both sides

09:52:30.620 --> 09:52:35.380
as well which I think will really help you just take some pressure off your own

09:52:35.380 --> 09:52:39.300
minds and the beauty is both these sides have a lot of voices in the teams

09:52:39.300 --> 09:52:44.940
themselves they can kind of trade ideas and figure out what they want to do

09:52:44.940 --> 09:52:52.540
Mid presence here for Navi. Kind of 20 seconds later than you usually would.

09:52:52.540 --> 09:53:03.060
Or I mean while scaling up, gaining some ground. Not quite enough just yet. A lovely

09:53:03.060 --> 09:53:06.260
nade. Resmoke of the window as well to go along with it.

09:53:06.260 --> 09:53:10.700
A bit of a homie mess I was following him through. I think he couldn't escape.

09:53:10.700 --> 09:53:12.740
I think it's fighting that instinct, is it?

09:53:12.740 --> 09:53:16.980
It's going to go forward. Yeah, moving backwards is getting away from something.

09:53:17.780 --> 09:53:20.500
Actually, in that case, he should have gone forwards. But even then, he might have walked

09:53:20.500 --> 09:53:28.980
into a cross. Hang on. Hang on. Oh, wonderful. It's close. He was nearly, nearly out of his scope.

09:53:28.980 --> 09:53:34.340
FOV there. Some tires will manage to take down that window player that he'd softened up earlier.

09:53:34.340 --> 09:53:40.180
Wonderful has fully conceded the space, leaving bit on an island all by himself. So big sacrifice.

09:53:40.180 --> 09:53:46.120
I wonder if he just goes back into the jungle position.

09:53:46.120 --> 09:53:51.620
So panic for this guy, he's been doing a bit more, they've maybe opened him up more into

09:53:51.620 --> 09:53:54.900
this year you might say.

09:53:54.900 --> 09:53:58.580
Previous round misses a few shots and in this round he's potentially lost his bottle as

09:53:58.580 --> 09:54:01.380
I think they wanted him in the jungle area.

09:54:01.380 --> 09:54:03.860
And this looks very strange now.

09:54:03.860 --> 09:54:06.580
They're taking a sweet time and I'm just starting to flank.

09:54:06.580 --> 09:54:13.180
If OxyC falls, and I just find that useless, it's a little labored, he gets instantly traded,

09:54:13.180 --> 09:54:16.580
but look at the time again on this diffuses, it's not a lot to work with.

09:54:16.580 --> 09:54:21.180
Wonderful, he's got the kit, and I think he's got the time as well, it's going to be mighty

09:54:21.180 --> 09:54:23.580
close, but he's going to do it.

09:54:23.580 --> 09:54:30.580
Wonderful, what a round for him again, and there's been so much talk about him in this

09:54:30.580 --> 09:54:35.580
side, he is making up for it in a massive way here, deep into Wars Map 2.

09:54:35.580 --> 09:54:38.900
Might catch a bit of it here on the replay. I don't think because we don't have the sideline

09:54:39.900 --> 09:54:43.260
Wonderful gets his kills. It was bit that had the kid

09:54:44.660 --> 09:54:49.700
Wonderful as he's just moving in finding the kills. It's not intentional because it's not a lot of time picks up that kid

09:54:49.700 --> 09:54:52.740
Yeah, he's just walked over it because his teammate died next to him

09:54:52.740 --> 09:54:56.820
I'm so sure that it was it was bit that had the kid

09:54:57.580 --> 09:55:00.500
At that moment. I mean that is that is just wild

09:55:01.500 --> 09:55:05.420
That is wild because because bit goes down mm-hmm to

09:55:05.580 --> 09:55:10.380
the flank and I was like rounds just over because that was the kick guy yeah

09:55:10.380 --> 09:55:14.220
and they don't have time to like fumble and pick it up and you know all that but

09:55:14.220 --> 09:55:24.120
it just fell perfectly for wonderful crazy yeah 11 apiece the game that keeps

09:55:24.120 --> 09:55:29.280
on given what do we say we said we wanted just a map here of Mirage that

09:55:29.280 --> 09:55:33.140
we can kind of sink our teeth into well they can't strike God's I've answered

09:55:33.140 --> 09:55:35.140
We've got that handsome.

09:55:36.140 --> 09:55:38.140
This map that potentially could be far from over.

09:55:39.140 --> 09:55:41.140
11 apiece.

09:55:42.140 --> 09:55:46.140
Remember, 8-4 at the half. It felt like it was all in a nice spot.

09:55:46.140 --> 09:55:48.140
Then the pistol taken by Aurora, you go 9-4 up.

09:55:48.140 --> 09:55:50.140
We're like, that's it, surely.

09:55:50.140 --> 09:55:53.140
Maybe we are starting to talk about that map number three.

09:55:53.140 --> 09:55:55.140
And then it's the force by one.

09:55:55.140 --> 09:55:57.140
And a bit of form and consistency that comes through for Navi.

09:55:57.140 --> 09:55:59.140
A good chain of rounds.

09:55:59.140 --> 09:56:05.780
It really feels like despite the score line staying the same they've just constantly been

09:56:05.780 --> 09:56:16.580
playing catch up in terms of momentum of this half specifically.

09:56:16.580 --> 09:56:21.820
Wonderful looking to be forward facing here some very big rounds from him.

09:56:21.820 --> 09:56:28.180
Oh he misses here he misses here it seems the harder ones it seems the ones under pressure

09:56:28.180 --> 09:56:32.700
They were so confident in him. They left him alone because he's hearing good time

09:56:32.700 --> 09:56:36.900
But he's taking a lot of damage because he's already gone in for a fight bit traded quickly

09:56:37.900 --> 09:56:41.300
It's too on to though. They're still keeping the trades coming on this CT side

09:56:41.940 --> 09:56:43.620
So somehow

09:56:43.620 --> 09:56:45.620
They're competitive despite first kill

09:56:46.180 --> 09:56:51.120
Going massively against them and the bomb plant just absolutely unstoppable

09:56:52.220 --> 09:56:57.120
He's into the two versus two well XCB is gonna get a peak that comes its way in was right there for the trade

09:56:57.120 --> 09:57:02.000
It's down to soul fly here. He will be spotted and that bomb is not planted for him

09:57:02.400 --> 09:57:08.760
Top comes in and soul fly although panic will still get it done. Emma cannot confirm

09:57:09.760 --> 09:57:15.240
What he's happening in this game the unlikeliest of rounds the unlikeliest of kills

09:57:16.360 --> 09:57:18.360
Aurora are the first to hit 12

09:57:19.000 --> 09:57:21.000
Yeah

09:57:21.600 --> 09:57:23.600
Just a few

09:57:23.600 --> 09:57:35.200
small moments there that cost RV in that round so fly cross-air train look

09:57:35.200 --> 09:57:41.960
what it means to them look what it means that point and so fly will open up a

09:57:41.960 --> 09:57:47.560
second forum as well sublime and so fly the clutch in the previous the opener

09:57:47.560 --> 09:57:53.240
here in towards what potentially might be the last oh wow he's picked his moments

09:57:53.240 --> 09:58:00.200
come alive as there's two left make that one it's all on the captain Alexi in a one versus four

09:58:00.200 --> 09:58:06.920
and the five seven it's desperately trying to find something but it's not enough Aurora survive a

09:58:06.920 --> 09:58:14.120
scare in that second half but the third map is required to see who is going to the arena.

09:58:14.120 --> 09:58:20.520
Yeah absolutely crazy stuff here guys I mean wild. Navi with the comeback after the eight four and

09:58:20.520 --> 09:58:27.720
And then they just go on this run after winning the fourth one on the CT side to take back control to feel like Aurora

09:58:27.720 --> 09:58:31.920
We're just never gonna get anything else on the T side of things and then all of a sudden

09:58:32.760 --> 09:58:34.280
Pandora's box opens man

09:58:34.280 --> 09:58:40.360
Just absolute pandemonium every single round that you can think of and in each way we've got clutches

09:58:40.360 --> 09:58:45.720
We've got crazy diffuses. We got just wild wild clutch moments, and it's so

09:58:45.720 --> 09:58:50.500
unpredictable. Maybe things will continue on to map number three. It's that Dust2

09:58:50.500 --> 09:58:56.380
coming up, and again, who's gonna take it here? There is only one way to find out.

09:58:56.380 --> 09:59:01.100
We will see you for the culmination of this series.

09:59:03.420 --> 09:59:08.100
Baset matches set your starting point. Baset rating measures your impact as you

09:59:08.100 --> 09:59:12.140
climb. The soft elo reset narrows the gap between the highest elo players and the

09:59:12.140 --> 09:59:15.500
rest of level 10. Your starting point will be based on your recent elo in

09:59:15.500 --> 09:59:20.220
activity. We're introducing Facet Rating, so you can see exactly how much you stack up against

09:59:20.220 --> 09:59:24.540
others at your level. Facet Rating measures how much your actions have increased your

09:59:24.540 --> 09:59:28.300
team's chances of winning the match, taking into account the whole situation.

09:59:29.340 --> 09:59:45.340
Season 8 launches April 22nd. Good luck and have fun!

10:00:15.500 --> 10:00:25.500
Viva Cartola, viva Candeia, viva Curica do Mestre Marçal, viva Portela, viva Mangueira,

10:00:25.500 --> 10:00:33.500
viva O Fundo do Nosso Quintal. Viva Cartola, viva Candeia, viva Curica do Mestre Marçal,

10:00:33.500 --> 10:00:38.500
Viva Portela, Viva Mangueira, Viva Fundo do Nossa Quintão

10:00:49.500 --> 10:00:53.500
Viva Cartola, Viva Candeira, Viva Curricato Mestre Marçal

10:00:54.500 --> 10:00:58.500
Viva Portela, Viva Mangueira, Viva Fundo do Nossa Quintão

10:01:28.500 --> 10:01:37.460
Noobus ban and a train top team as soon as that's what entered the map Paul they must

10:01:37.460 --> 10:01:42.420
stop playing Dust again and Nuke they haven't won this year so it's been a bit of a ropey

10:01:42.420 --> 10:01:45.420
one for Maus and that Mirage would certainly so.

10:01:45.420 --> 10:01:51.700
Furia with wind in their sails with semi-finals on the horizon might just fly towards it unless

10:01:51.700 --> 10:01:54.100
Maus play their best game yet here on Dust.

10:01:58.500 --> 10:02:10.440
I think it's a great game on it versus Aurora yesterday, but like we said on map one, that

10:02:10.440 --> 10:02:14.760
felt like it was an exception to the rule for Maus on Dust2.

10:02:14.760 --> 10:02:18.320
This has been a very struggle, some map for them.

10:02:18.320 --> 10:02:24.080
Since the changes you talk about and then having a take to it again, well, Fury are

10:02:24.080 --> 10:02:26.080
They're very proficient here.

10:02:32.080 --> 10:02:34.080
This could be weird.

10:02:34.080 --> 10:02:36.080
Oh, he missed the smoke.

10:02:36.080 --> 10:02:39.080
And Jimmy just punishes him walking in.

10:02:39.080 --> 10:02:40.080
Oh, dear.

10:02:40.080 --> 10:02:42.080
It's kind of ruined the whole pistol, hasn't it?

10:02:42.080 --> 10:02:44.080
Yeah, in a way.

10:02:44.080 --> 10:02:46.080
In every way.

10:02:49.080 --> 10:02:51.080
What do you do now?

10:03:24.080 --> 10:03:29.040
for Furia. This is a nail-biter of a pistol as they try and course-correct the 3B5. No

10:03:29.040 --> 10:03:35.240
excuse, Miles. Add a miss-smoke in there and that threw the entire plan through a loop.

10:03:35.240 --> 10:03:44.320
Nice. This one goes nowhere quickly for Furia. Molodoy had to die dropping down was his

10:03:44.320 --> 10:03:48.160
best bet. I like that. It's a better idea than just going for the ram player who could just

10:03:48.160 --> 10:03:55.160
run away. All the way. Just

10:03:55.160 --> 10:03:57.160
forcing the death. And now's

10:03:57.160 --> 10:03:59.160
taking the pistol. Okay,

10:03:59.160 --> 10:04:00.160
reassuring and even more

10:04:00.160 --> 10:04:01.160
reassuring. I think that

10:04:01.160 --> 10:04:02.160
furious don't bomb plant

10:04:02.160 --> 10:04:03.160
because we saw mouse win CT

10:04:03.160 --> 10:04:06.160
pistol garage and then your

10:04:06.160 --> 10:04:07.160
kinder happened double glill

10:04:07.160 --> 10:04:09.160
entry winning out through your

10:04:09.160 --> 10:04:11.160
force by going to get a scout

10:04:11.160 --> 10:04:14.160
on for them. But for the most

10:04:14.160 --> 10:04:16.160
part, this is eco. I do this

10:04:16.160 --> 10:04:21.680
are in an orper on furia and they're not the same person true i'm not letting you

10:04:21.680 --> 10:04:25.760
curb any me right now harry no i i'm not buying in

10:04:25.760 --> 10:04:31.120
mouths aren't throwing this round i don't know i all right let's see

10:04:31.840 --> 10:04:36.640
there's just something about it when he gets this gun in particular okay

10:04:36.640 --> 10:04:39.920
with these positions though it would have to be a curb any

10:04:39.920 --> 10:04:41.920
Type moment, fallen.

10:04:45.920 --> 10:04:47.920
There he is, nailing it!

10:04:47.920 --> 10:04:48.920
Not bad.

10:04:48.920 --> 10:04:50.920
Hell of a pick up on his spinks.

10:04:50.920 --> 10:04:52.920
Now's runaway.

10:04:52.920 --> 10:04:55.920
Even a dink on a Jimmy softening him up.

10:04:55.920 --> 10:04:57.920
Oh, the gun.

10:04:57.920 --> 10:04:59.920
He's got it, he's got it.

10:04:59.920 --> 10:05:02.920
Back up cat and their crunching middle together.

10:05:02.920 --> 10:05:04.920
Oh no.

10:05:04.920 --> 10:05:12.720
Oh, they're leaning B. Second player board over.

10:05:12.720 --> 10:05:17.720
Sashen should have this. Smoke, can be disrespected.

10:05:17.720 --> 10:05:28.160
Oh, another tag bird just cut down. As the crisis averted there for miles, no issues.

10:05:28.160 --> 10:05:35.160
That was just a solo scout round. The real buy is coming now.

10:05:35.160 --> 10:05:44.160
How does Molotoy have an AWP in round 3 with no bomb plants?

10:05:44.160 --> 10:05:59.020
I find a way well now is here they all brattle off and they might be asking themselves the

10:05:59.020 --> 10:06:04.760
same question glass cannon or for Molodoy torsion also has his oh

10:06:04.760 --> 10:06:11.760
the

10:06:34.760 --> 10:06:45.880
back to be here for furia. Yeah, you're in a bit of an odd spot because

10:06:45.880 --> 10:06:51.360
I haven't really gone looking for any space and they've held on for a long time to all

10:06:51.360 --> 10:06:57.240
of this util starting to dump it in now is the time runs lower. You've been re smoked

10:06:57.240 --> 10:07:02.600
in it up a tunnels call one more smoke still at be in seconds is one up right now. This

10:07:02.600 --> 10:07:03.600
This is a big problem.

10:07:03.600 --> 10:07:06.920
We're going to have to go through one eventually.

10:07:06.920 --> 10:07:10.920
Great flash, but oh, he sneaks in.

10:07:10.920 --> 10:07:12.920
Oh my goodness, Kcerato.

10:07:12.920 --> 10:07:14.440
That's very boring.

10:07:14.440 --> 10:07:15.940
Recommits to his wild.

10:07:15.940 --> 10:07:17.960
Had a chance to get out of there.

10:07:17.960 --> 10:07:20.280
Now you play through the smoke in the tunnels.

10:07:20.280 --> 10:07:21.280
It doesn't pan out for them.

10:07:21.280 --> 10:07:23.960
And now you've got this glass cannon on Molodoy.

10:07:23.960 --> 10:07:25.840
The only thing left in the clutch.

10:07:25.840 --> 10:07:26.840
I know.

10:07:26.840 --> 10:07:31.000
There should be no way he can win this.

10:07:31.000 --> 10:07:32.000
Three players.

10:07:32.000 --> 10:07:35.840
They can play to trade, aim punch plays into this as well.

10:07:35.840 --> 10:07:37.560
Parmes a shot, three bullets.

10:07:37.560 --> 10:07:40.160
Gonna be flawless, full molotoy.

10:07:40.160 --> 10:07:43.200
And that first one, it's swinging a miss, iced out.

10:07:43.200 --> 10:07:46.360
As Maus with the third, they collect that one.

10:07:46.360 --> 10:07:48.440
But they have to serve it, oh my god.

10:07:48.440 --> 10:07:50.440
I don't know how to play with them, yeah.

10:07:55.440 --> 10:07:57.640
Cleanly done here for Maus.

10:07:57.640 --> 10:08:00.440
Azurchen starting stronger on this map, 4-0.

10:08:00.440 --> 10:08:04.440
It's a double kill there, doesn't let Molotov get out of control.

10:08:06.440 --> 10:08:07.440
That was very scary.

10:08:09.440 --> 10:08:11.440
Barely took a bullet there, close.

10:08:13.440 --> 10:08:17.440
And as you said, during the round, goon or mouse to hold onto that utile.

10:08:19.440 --> 10:08:24.440
Yeah, especially because, you know, even thinking back to Mirage moments ago,

10:08:24.440 --> 10:08:28.440
the early calling from Fallen when they swapped halves was very, very pasty.

10:08:28.440 --> 10:08:32.460
And if you remember like Mao's tried to go for the same type of thing in that first rifle round there

10:08:32.460 --> 10:08:34.520
They they were light on the utile early

10:08:34.520 --> 10:08:39.460
They were trying to hold on to it late round and they got dealt a really really pacey play out of furia

10:08:40.400 --> 10:08:44.800
But here just anticipating it's a little bit slower. It comes with the territory of dust too

10:08:46.320 --> 10:08:51.180
That's a no one used anything and that's walled they didn't really have a lot of information so

10:08:52.920 --> 10:08:57.360
Nice early read and feel for how fury we're gonna approach that round

10:08:58.440 --> 10:09:05.440
It's a solid first step of four hours on this CT side.

10:09:05.440 --> 10:09:12.440
of

10:09:12.440 --> 10:09:22.440
the

10:09:22.440 --> 10:09:30.160
Oh, flashed into the orb but Toshi can't connect and now Coroner smokes.

10:09:30.160 --> 10:09:35.600
Is there room to breathe in the middle?

10:09:35.600 --> 10:09:40.080
I have to rotate Coroner and help out on A.

10:09:40.080 --> 10:09:42.440
It feels like a fake but it's not.

10:09:42.440 --> 10:09:44.600
They're coming through the mid-doors right now.

10:09:44.600 --> 10:09:51.920
Many fires stumbling through sphinx, important double kill.

10:09:51.920 --> 10:09:55.520
that climb is meant to be. It's only Jimmy in position.

10:09:57.120 --> 10:09:58.720
You can do running at him through B.

10:10:01.720 --> 10:10:05.820
Yeah, you got a pincer on Jimmy. Oh, no, your kinder with an important pickup

10:10:05.820 --> 10:10:08.720
and Yuri's cut down exertion on his rotate.

10:10:11.520 --> 10:10:15.320
This mid scrap sacrificing players to get past Spinks.

10:10:15.320 --> 10:10:24.320
Let's Furia in a very good position. Bomb planted 2v2. Low HP on your Kindar, so you're looking at Molodoy.

10:10:25.320 --> 10:10:33.320
Can't afford to get nothing done here. Kindar might be in the spot to try and clutch, but doesn't really have the facilities for it.

10:10:33.320 --> 10:10:43.560
I'm going to take off this bomb, you kind of gets his now it's on to Molodoy back of

10:10:43.560 --> 10:10:48.880
the site swings out wide and seals it with the clutch.

10:10:48.880 --> 10:10:52.640
Great patience there for Molodoy doesn't move a muscle that's his teammate take all the

10:10:52.640 --> 10:10:57.960
contact and now is just walking in but they don't have the time to walk forced to swing

10:10:57.960 --> 10:11:01.960
into that last player and fury again on the board after an eco no less.

10:11:01.960 --> 10:11:06.840
I was technized running out mid, despite a double kill from Spinks.

10:11:23.160 --> 10:11:25.800
Barely issues in Cyclo and get on the mic.

10:11:27.960 --> 10:11:31.320
Making sure mouths don't crumble because, you know, while this is...

10:11:31.960 --> 10:11:35.080
Statistically a map they've been struggling on, it's also their most played.

10:11:35.080 --> 10:11:37.880
Maybe in part due to teams picking it against them.

10:11:40.120 --> 10:11:45.560
But in the last three months, a lot of experience, a lot of learning, a lot of losses, but

10:11:47.960 --> 10:11:51.240
it's a chance to improve upon them.

10:11:53.000 --> 10:11:55.960
They went on a seven loss streak to start this year.

10:12:01.960 --> 10:12:12.600
When the exception of that win against Falcons to make it to the playoffs of Krakow, he had

10:12:12.600 --> 10:12:19.600
to beat a truly top team.

10:12:42.600 --> 10:13:09.600
I know we do have a few fans but I don't know. There's a lot standing around that goes on these days to be honest, you know, maybe 9 rounds have been min maxed a bit too far, but either way, it's good to see who gets the side choice and it is on the side of Aurora for us here, who of course have kept the dream alive, man, Superzoom.

10:13:09.600 --> 10:13:12.840
of course, have kept the dream

10:13:12.840 --> 10:13:14.840
alive, man. Super super close in

10:13:14.840 --> 10:13:16.840
order to do so, but they do

10:13:16.840 --> 10:13:18.840
manage to find themselves that

10:13:18.840 --> 10:13:20.840
second map. So both teams

10:13:20.840 --> 10:13:22.840
trading each other's picks and

10:13:22.840 --> 10:13:24.840
we end up on the dust to here

10:13:24.840 --> 10:13:26.840
to decide this one. A real keen

10:13:26.840 --> 10:13:28.840
rivalry, I think therefore has

10:13:28.840 --> 10:13:30.840
set itself up between these two

10:13:30.840 --> 10:13:32.840
teams over the past couple of

10:13:32.840 --> 10:13:34.840
months have met an awful lot.

10:13:34.840 --> 10:13:36.840
Generally speaking, it has been

10:13:36.840 --> 10:13:41.140
it's not common one, let's

10:13:41.140 --> 10:13:43.140
say. Yeah. So interested to

10:13:43.140 --> 10:13:44.840
see how it pans out here. Last

10:13:44.840 --> 10:13:46.840
time they played on it back at

10:13:46.840 --> 10:13:49.840
the pro league season 23

10:13:49.840 --> 10:13:55.840
finals dust to. Taken by

10:13:55.840 --> 10:13:57.840
Navi 13 to nine. So let's see.

10:13:57.840 --> 10:13:58.840
Really good. Decided for both

10:13:58.840 --> 10:14:01.840
of these sides. We caught Aurora

10:14:01.840 --> 10:14:04.840
on this map. Yesterday or two

10:14:04.840 --> 10:14:09.000
But it was a we kind of simultaneously in that maps for the best and the worst that I've ever

10:14:09.560 --> 10:14:14.320
First off was fantastic. The second second one wasn't it? Yeah second off was a pretty woeful

10:14:14.920 --> 10:14:19.520
So let's see run away and it's walks into open up proceedings as McCarsey will fall

10:14:21.360 --> 10:14:23.560
But probably a few lessons learned from that one, you know

10:14:23.560 --> 10:14:29.660
We got to be to major afterwards and he was like we were just sort of a bit of sleep and we felt good after the first half and just didn't

10:14:29.660 --> 10:14:33.700
fully stay locked in as it were I think here against Navi it's gonna be quite

10:14:33.700 --> 10:14:38.060
the opposite so maybe we can see them in the ascendancy with the recent map in

10:14:38.060 --> 10:14:44.900
their favor actually find another clean showing here first killer's good things

10:14:44.900 --> 10:14:48.380
slow down a bit Navi you're gonna go flying in try and work their way down

10:14:48.380 --> 10:14:52.340
as a flash that makes life awkward so they've been fully spotted out here bit

10:14:52.340 --> 10:14:58.860
from long oh fine both the kills he was the key moment and indeed he does

10:14:58.860 --> 10:15:02.860
to go down three on three. Now

10:15:02.860 --> 10:15:04.860
with very little control for

10:15:04.860 --> 10:15:06.860
Aurora. They'll be corralled in

10:15:06.860 --> 10:15:08.860
exactly where Navi want them.

10:15:08.860 --> 10:15:10.860
And the headshots right around

10:15:10.860 --> 10:15:12.860
the corner, but it depends who

10:15:12.860 --> 10:15:14.860
for the Jules get involved here

10:15:14.860 --> 10:15:16.860
bit on a USP. Alexi be up close

10:15:16.860 --> 10:15:18.860
on the Glock as well looking

10:15:18.860 --> 10:15:20.860
for a couple more and he's going

10:15:20.860 --> 10:15:22.860
to get them. Then Alexi doing

10:15:22.860 --> 10:15:24.860
all the work. What a huge round

10:15:24.860 --> 10:15:26.860
to recover as well. Walks. It

10:15:26.860 --> 10:15:31.420
that spot alone they are put into a really good position but the scaling towards shore is excellent

10:15:31.420 --> 10:15:36.860
they've got to thank beer getting both of those kills out towards long is monumental

10:15:37.580 --> 10:15:40.460
and turning this round on his head that's been so well up close

10:15:44.460 --> 10:15:49.260
yeah you can see how much it means to them do you get that strong start

10:15:49.260 --> 10:15:56.420
up. We'll get, oh, I'm gonna say we'll get a force. So trained on Alexi, the wonderful

10:15:56.420 --> 10:16:06.140
swings in and nearly gets a tag off there. Straight out long though, where there's much

10:16:06.140 --> 10:16:11.980
less of an Aurora defense being put up, they will have heard plenty of utility over here,

10:16:11.980 --> 10:16:16.020
so I'm sure we'll give it a bit of a look. They're ready and raring. The header comes

10:16:46.020 --> 10:16:54.780
all the hair of this you'll hear all of this two forum is wakadia as well is also here

10:16:54.780 --> 10:17:02.420
as the bomb will get planted wakadia is now a known quantity on that flank so i'm out

10:17:02.420 --> 10:17:08.220
of a small window but small as the operative word as he'll fall and that'll be that nothing

10:17:08.220 --> 10:17:15.420
wakadia can do here from one versus three may have won that the rights which he does

10:17:15.420 --> 10:17:18.420
Macauze just quick switches onto the knife that'll cost him his life.

10:17:19.420 --> 10:17:21.720
But it will not alter where this round's going to go.

10:17:21.720 --> 10:17:25.120
It's not if you take a second and being that a failed force,

10:17:25.520 --> 10:17:27.720
the third should be found pretty simply.

10:17:27.720 --> 10:17:29.220
They've only got one thing to fall back on.

10:17:29.320 --> 10:17:31.420
That saved Galil in the next round.

10:17:31.420 --> 10:17:32.820
I don't think they'll be buying around it.

10:17:33.120 --> 10:17:34.620
And that's it as well. He doesn't have armour.

10:17:34.720 --> 10:17:34.920
Yeah.

10:17:34.920 --> 10:17:37.320
So it's like, does he want to spend the cash?

10:17:38.320 --> 10:17:38.820
Not sure.

10:17:38.820 --> 10:17:39.320
Maybe.

10:17:39.320 --> 10:17:39.820
Maybe.

10:17:39.820 --> 10:17:40.320
Maybe.

10:17:40.320 --> 10:17:42.020
Maybe with the kill and everything, right?

10:17:42.320 --> 10:17:44.020
Just give yourself a little bit of a try as chance.

10:17:44.020 --> 10:17:49.860
otherwise the the glills not really gonna do anything for you but Navi starting strong Navi

10:17:52.100 --> 10:17:59.620
looking to try and bounce back after the previous map some wild moments for both sides to be fair

10:17:59.620 --> 10:18:09.780
but they are the ones that picked the post so yeah just looking clean slate right headspace and get

10:18:09.780 --> 10:18:20.340
get this dust two rolling. Get an MP9 out for Tantara's small amount of use on the CT side.

10:18:23.860 --> 10:18:29.540
This is a little bit of firepower around. That saved Giliobo, so it's going to be a very difficult

10:18:29.540 --> 10:18:35.460
round for them to convert. And once again, looks like they want to look in that direction of A,

10:18:35.460 --> 10:18:37.860
but everyone is here from Aurora.

10:18:37.860 --> 10:18:43.020
The gamble stack in the A site might just be the right call.

10:18:48.420 --> 10:18:52.060
All leading the charge here does indeed find the entry.

10:18:52.580 --> 10:18:54.140
It will be pretty far ahead.

10:18:54.140 --> 10:18:54.900
Flash has come in.

10:18:54.900 --> 10:18:57.340
I mean, you've got to be spinning around to find these kills.

10:18:57.340 --> 10:18:59.980
So fly does a decent job of it.

10:18:59.980 --> 10:19:03.780
And there is Walksick with that galil bomb dropped,

10:19:03.780 --> 10:19:07.780
to get the ball to the left

10:19:07.780 --> 10:19:09.720
of the left. Making things very

10:19:09.720 --> 10:19:12.120
very competitive. It's messy

10:19:12.120 --> 10:19:13.620
even if they do win it. Already

10:19:13.620 --> 10:19:15.820
a bit too messy for my money,

10:19:15.820 --> 10:19:17.320
so. Rora staying in the

10:19:17.320 --> 10:19:19.020
conversation for every single

10:19:19.020 --> 10:19:19.820
round bombs still not picked up

10:19:19.820 --> 10:19:21.780
this year. We're trying to

10:19:21.780 --> 10:19:23.480
clear each and every angle.

10:19:23.480 --> 10:19:25.580
Find the heads that may be

10:19:25.580 --> 10:19:28.620
over facing. Got one so far.

10:19:28.620 --> 10:19:31.280
Got another. Looks clean to

10:19:31.280 --> 10:19:33.580
bail them out. Magic will be

10:19:33.580 --> 10:19:39.580
something that Aurora have been doing quite a lot of very much enjoying the immediate okay. I'm out of there

10:19:39.580 --> 10:19:43.460
I'm going long. I'm getting the catch and now you can see he's doing the same thing but in reverse

10:19:44.660 --> 10:19:46.660
To just get the catch off Emma

10:19:47.500 --> 10:19:49.800
Saving the round clutching the round now

10:19:51.740 --> 10:19:53.740
And he get it done

10:19:53.740 --> 10:19:59.100
Magic on the MP9. It's not the weapon that he wants head spotted on both sides

10:19:59.100 --> 10:20:03.640
He hides in my repositions to take him down, and a really big round from him.

10:20:03.640 --> 10:20:05.640
Yeah, it battles them out.

10:20:05.640 --> 10:20:08.140
They were looking really uncomfortable there.

10:20:08.140 --> 10:20:10.140
So a nice work from him.

10:20:10.140 --> 10:20:16.400
It's still very expensive considering, pretty lack of investments, to be perfectly honest with Aurora.

10:20:16.400 --> 10:20:20.300
That's a silver lining in a bad spot.

10:20:20.300 --> 10:20:25.400
Yes, you lose a round, but four to five kills is not fired by any means.

10:20:25.400 --> 10:20:28.160
only an MP9 brought in towards that round a little bit of U2 on top of that save

10:20:28.160 --> 10:20:30.520
Khalil.

10:20:30.680 --> 10:20:36.080
Hit the argument that advantage is towards Aurora here, firepower wise at the

10:20:36.080 --> 10:20:43.080
very least. Fourth round. There should be the open play for Wox, that could be

10:20:43.080 --> 10:20:48.440
huge, Alexi's had to get back in towards a Mach 10.

10:20:49.440 --> 10:20:53.360
Flash towards Short, gonna get the info over there.

10:20:53.360 --> 10:20:58.840
because they actually on the edge of the Molotov looking to try and find the heads and tires nearly gives it to him

10:20:59.360 --> 10:21:02.080
Cinge of the toes will give his position away

10:21:02.760 --> 10:21:05.480
Takes a bullet or two and looks to back off

10:21:06.040 --> 10:21:09.120
So more of a beeline here. I think it's safe to say that bombers

10:21:10.120 --> 10:21:14.600
Maybe as close to be as and as far away from a as you could possibly get

10:21:15.480 --> 10:21:18.500
So I think that gives the game away for you

10:21:18.500 --> 10:21:25.540
mid-split coming in there ahead of the smoke though beautiful timing from Alexi B to find that kill now they have to fight back in towards mid

10:21:25.540 --> 10:21:29.980
But Alexi B's getting all done by himself. He will be traded the teammates

10:21:30.780 --> 10:21:32.780
nearly failing to bail him out and

10:21:33.060 --> 10:21:37.060
Leave it was Woxxxorp that just gets one on the edge maybe boosted maybe

10:21:37.500 --> 10:21:42.460
Well, perhaps just a spam through but all the same into two versus two very doable retake here. Oh

10:21:43.700 --> 10:21:45.700
That might change things

10:21:46.020 --> 10:21:47.860
How all our major?

10:21:47.860 --> 10:21:49.860
does have a kit

10:21:50.220 --> 10:21:54.580
And they'll know wonderful is tagged. He may not know how much

10:21:55.380 --> 10:21:57.860
Bye, but I know he's taking a shot

10:21:58.940 --> 10:22:00.940
But do I make a difference wonderful sees it off

10:22:01.300 --> 10:22:03.060
It's a small

10:22:03.060 --> 10:22:05.220
small gap from to work of in tours window

10:22:06.540 --> 10:22:12.420
The huge round to take again for Nardi to keep things ticking on this T side

10:22:12.420 --> 10:22:15.420
I'll actually does so unbelievably well. He's first to a fantastic

10:22:15.420 --> 10:22:18.860
It's a slight gap in the smoke by a bit.

10:22:18.860 --> 10:22:21.740
Beautiful work, quite an aggressive post plant.

10:22:21.740 --> 10:22:24.980
It feels quite a bit of a necessity as well.

10:22:24.980 --> 10:22:28.140
In that 2 vs 2 they've got to gain information on where they're coming from.

10:22:28.140 --> 10:22:29.580
It's a nice work.

10:22:29.580 --> 10:22:30.580
Back into it.

10:22:30.580 --> 10:22:32.780
Bit of a half bite for Aurora.

10:22:32.780 --> 10:22:34.780
You've got to rifle out for Wikipedia.

10:22:34.780 --> 10:22:39.260
But aside from that, 3MP9 is in the scalp.

10:22:39.260 --> 10:22:47.020
Yeah, I quite like it that they're still able to put some presence here and you know working it down the middle with the

10:22:47.340 --> 10:22:49.340
mp9 so I think we know how

10:22:49.580 --> 10:22:55.180
Busted this gun can be in the right hand. So Laura having come close in a lot of rounds

10:22:55.820 --> 10:22:57.820
Even the lower by ones

10:22:59.100 --> 10:23:01.100
To do that again

10:23:01.100 --> 10:23:05.980
Difficult spray at range. I mean because it doesn't take much damage. That's not one died there. I know it's it's very

10:23:05.980 --> 10:23:09.980
I think a lot of damage maybe through like the edge of the box type thing on the

10:23:10.980 --> 10:23:15.160
Sandbags or whatever it is rice. I think did we find out yeah way

10:23:16.060 --> 10:23:18.060
The kills do start rolling in for Nabi

10:23:19.380 --> 10:23:25.060
Cause a blinded it stays alive. That's it seems to be pretty proficient on this MP9. Oh

10:23:25.820 --> 10:23:30.760
You're saying gets two more, but there was around, you know, who's finding them a range a couple rounds ago

10:23:31.260 --> 10:23:35.260
I don't think it's gonna happen. Unfortunately, but I mean he keeps the damage coming on this MP9, man

10:23:35.260 --> 10:23:41.300
very close to another kill that not going to happen five in a row for Navi and Aurora really

10:23:41.860 --> 10:23:46.500
There's some closer moments, but just nothing convincing enough. They're always on the back foot

10:23:46.500 --> 10:23:51.020
They're always looking for a clutch. They're always looking for a flank that goes unseen

10:23:51.660 --> 10:23:57.660
And they're not on the board just yet. So they can't be playing like that the entire half it exactly

10:23:57.900 --> 10:24:00.140
So they will call for their first time out

10:24:01.940 --> 10:24:03.940
It's Fabio will

10:24:03.940 --> 10:24:09.300
get into a bit of the depth now with this Aurora side kind of probably putting a

10:24:09.300 --> 10:24:14.020
lot of onus on them saying time is really running out and we cannot afford

10:24:14.020 --> 10:24:18.500
to fall flat in towards this next gun now we've got a real idea and we are

10:24:18.500 --> 10:24:23.500
seeing some quite quick rounds and that might be the sort of counter for

10:24:23.500 --> 10:24:26.780
Aurora fight fire with fire try and take a bit of space off from them be

10:24:26.780 --> 10:24:30.060
proactive as we like to call it

10:24:30.060 --> 10:24:40.060
How does things change? Back into a 4x. Making it pretty close on the lower investment, so

10:24:40.060 --> 10:24:43.880
you're soon as the chance here. The flash is good, but a flash in response will force

10:24:43.880 --> 10:24:49.580
wonderful off that angle, and on control completely taken by Aurora in the early part of this

10:24:49.580 --> 10:24:50.580
round.

10:24:50.580 --> 10:24:56.100
Karzee, always looking for this first pick up towards Shaw. He's always close to the

10:24:56.100 --> 10:25:03.060
molleys he quite likes that idea. Maybe got his settings perfected for playing around the fire

10:25:03.060 --> 10:25:16.020
where not a lot of players do. Unless there'll be more of a late long hit which is curious not

10:25:16.020 --> 10:25:19.380
all that common but I think now I'll be after the timeout feeling that they need to keep things

10:25:19.380 --> 10:25:24.660
It's fresh. Yeah. Fake out in mid here. It will pull one away from long, but there's

10:25:24.660 --> 10:25:30.260
still all magic. It's just thrown a smoke. I think they know where that's come from.

10:25:30.260 --> 10:25:36.700
It still doesn't matter. Such a great angle and just like one that you don't necessarily

10:25:36.700 --> 10:25:44.020
get much practice against. Centauras finds another that starts to hammer it home. Just

10:25:44.020 --> 10:25:47.020
just double checking. It's right. I'm sorry. It's just a wall. I'm looking at laughing.

10:25:47.020 --> 10:25:50.100
Just the wall! I think he saw like a barrel.

10:25:50.100 --> 10:25:53.060
He either saw a barrel, or were Katie was like, I'm hitting something.

10:25:53.060 --> 10:25:54.780
It's like, it's the wall, man!

10:25:54.780 --> 10:25:56.220
It's laughing at each other.

10:25:56.220 --> 10:25:57.780
Shooting shadows.

10:25:57.780 --> 10:25:58.620
Going crazy.

10:25:58.620 --> 10:26:01.900
Him and shooting heads. That is a real long-range shot.

10:26:01.900 --> 10:26:03.620
He taps away to find Maja.

10:26:03.620 --> 10:26:06.020
They've got a little bit of room here.

10:26:06.020 --> 10:26:09.900
They've got a small, small window for the dive-through shot.

10:26:09.900 --> 10:26:13.660
It is fantastic, but Katie does not want to give them anything.

10:26:43.660 --> 10:26:45.260
I'll do like what he was saying.

10:26:45.260 --> 10:26:46.860
Also Chorus is like, I'm not that man.

10:26:46.860 --> 10:26:49.860
Like I really thought someone was there like, it's like you.

10:26:49.860 --> 10:26:50.700
It's pretty funny.

10:26:50.700 --> 10:26:52.580
It's kind of like the Scooby-Doo movie where they like.

10:26:52.580 --> 10:26:53.420
Going for the doors.

10:26:53.420 --> 10:26:54.260
Yeah.

10:26:54.260 --> 10:26:55.740
And then they're like, get it off me or whatever.

10:26:55.740 --> 10:26:57.860
You know, and it's like, there's nothing.

10:26:57.860 --> 10:26:59.100
There's nothing on.

10:26:59.100 --> 10:26:59.940
Yeah. Relax.

10:26:59.940 --> 10:27:00.780
You're good.

10:27:00.780 --> 10:27:01.620
Chill out.

10:27:02.740 --> 10:27:05.140
But no, I do, I like the idea that it's Acadia.

10:27:05.140 --> 10:27:08.220
And she's like, someone, I'm pumping in someone on the smoke.

10:27:08.220 --> 10:27:09.060
Kill him.

10:27:09.060 --> 10:27:09.900
Kill him.

10:27:09.900 --> 10:27:10.740
There's no one there.

10:27:10.740 --> 10:27:12.380
It's like now, bro, you're all good.

10:27:12.380 --> 10:27:16.380
out towards B. Oh, soul flight.

10:27:16.380 --> 10:27:17.980
Shaky from him. He'll fall to the max.

10:27:17.980 --> 10:27:19.780
Tell him to drive by and speak another drive by.

10:27:19.780 --> 10:27:23.180
Alexi, you'll have one of his own as Bit delivers on towards Maja.

10:27:23.180 --> 10:27:27.580
Wikipedia is the last line of defense and there's too many fights to be had.

10:27:27.580 --> 10:27:30.580
Like a deer in headlight, didn't know where to look.

10:27:30.580 --> 10:27:32.380
And it's all up to Woxic and let's be frank,

10:27:32.380 --> 10:27:34.380
in a one versus four, he's not going to give this one a look in.

10:27:34.380 --> 10:27:37.380
It takes it, frags, at the very most,

10:27:37.380 --> 10:27:39.980
as Navi bite back instant response

10:27:39.980 --> 10:27:43.820
off the first bit of success for Aurora. That's a great way to go about it.

10:27:43.820 --> 10:27:50.540
Right, so we've got a guy playing car, also known as Closet, over on B. Kind of the perfect

10:27:50.540 --> 10:27:56.020
spot to stop rushes. He dies pretty much instantly. There's a guy with an instant flank. He's

10:27:56.020 --> 10:28:02.140
being watched over a long. He dies instantly. There's a guy in the lower tunnels who is

10:28:02.140 --> 10:28:09.700
being watched for. He dies instantly. So every single advantageous little moment and spot

10:28:09.700 --> 10:28:13.780
for Aurora, just gets completely flattened by a low buy.

10:28:13.780 --> 10:28:17.260
So, Navi are really playing very well,

10:28:17.260 --> 10:28:20.500
and I think up to the peak of their individual game, in fact.

10:28:20.500 --> 10:28:21.820
And you hate to sort of single them out,

10:28:21.820 --> 10:28:24.460
but I just think Salfi's got to do so much better here.

10:28:24.460 --> 10:28:26.180
Oh, yeah, that's like a...

10:28:26.180 --> 10:28:27.260
They're on the rush.

10:28:27.260 --> 10:28:30.300
I will give it, there's maybe not a guy like playing Window with him.

10:28:30.300 --> 10:28:32.100
Yeah. Right away.

10:28:32.100 --> 10:28:35.100
It helps if you have a distraction or a flash to come over.

10:28:35.100 --> 10:28:37.460
But that's like a double kill spot,

10:28:37.460 --> 10:28:39.580
because everyone's got to readjust their crosshair,

10:28:39.580 --> 10:28:42.860
because there's a metal pillar in the way of the car.

10:28:42.860 --> 10:28:45.860
It's like the most annoying spot on this map,

10:28:45.860 --> 10:28:47.060
I think, for a lot of pros.

10:28:47.060 --> 10:28:47.900
No, I agree.

10:28:47.900 --> 10:28:51.020
I just feel like you've got to be getting at the very least one

10:28:51.020 --> 10:28:52.620
and then get traded, but then maybe

10:28:52.620 --> 10:28:54.300
buy time for the rotation to come through.

10:28:54.300 --> 10:28:55.140
He just gets nothing.

10:28:55.140 --> 10:28:55.980
Just gets complete.

10:28:55.980 --> 10:28:56.740
Did not even get one.

10:28:56.740 --> 10:28:57.580
I thought he got one.

10:28:57.580 --> 10:28:59.980
He just gets run down by a Mach 10.

10:28:59.980 --> 10:29:01.140
So.

10:29:01.140 --> 10:29:01.860
That does stink.

10:29:01.860 --> 10:29:02.360
Yeah.

10:29:05.500 --> 10:29:07.420
Cars, they just flies in with that Mach 10.

10:29:07.420 --> 10:29:07.980
Yeah, wow.

10:29:07.980 --> 10:29:11.380
at the same exact time as our Lexi swings on towards Antares of the Tech 9,

10:29:11.380 --> 10:29:14.380
catching that late kind of tunnels rotate coming through.

10:29:14.380 --> 10:29:19.180
Because I saw this kill on the minimap that was like just in front of tunnels as they were entering.

10:29:19.180 --> 10:29:26.180
And I suppose my brain clocked that that was surely the guy playing in a closet.

10:29:26.180 --> 10:29:28.380
So that's crazy, he doesn't even get one.

10:29:28.380 --> 10:29:31.980
I don't even know what happened, he just gets, you know, cross-a-codes,

10:29:31.980 --> 10:29:33.980
skewered all over the place.

10:29:33.980 --> 10:29:41.940
Na'Vi, the very fast start in towards this T-side, and already up to six is fantastic.

10:29:41.940 --> 10:29:46.140
Any more they find from here on out is just a cherry on top of what is, look like a really,

10:29:46.140 --> 10:29:48.500
really good first half under the side-up.

10:29:48.500 --> 10:29:53.740
For those who are maybe only joining us kind of late through this series, we've been talking

10:29:53.740 --> 10:30:01.180
about just how important this game is, lose and you are eliminated, win and you go to

10:30:01.180 --> 10:30:03.180
play-offs and this is...

10:30:03.180 --> 10:30:04.180
Yeah, there you go.

10:30:04.180 --> 10:30:05.180
This is looking like...

10:30:05.180 --> 10:30:07.180
My friend, he is.

10:30:07.180 --> 10:30:08.180
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

10:30:08.180 --> 10:30:09.180
Boost me, boost me.

10:30:09.180 --> 10:30:11.180
Not now, boost me.

10:30:11.180 --> 10:30:12.180
There's a roof in the way.

10:30:12.180 --> 10:30:13.180
Yeah.

10:30:13.180 --> 10:30:14.180
It's all right, rather than the end.

10:30:14.180 --> 10:30:17.180
Orphan or it might be the case.

10:30:17.180 --> 10:30:24.180
I just, it kind of just goes to show that I feel Aurora like the fatigue factor maybe

10:30:24.180 --> 10:30:27.180
is coming into play.

10:30:27.180 --> 10:30:34.140
It's just so very rough and I don't really know what to make of it, to be honest.

10:30:34.140 --> 10:30:38.780
This is, I think, you know, both of these sides have played series, you know, already today.

10:30:38.780 --> 10:30:39.500
No, that is true.

10:30:39.500 --> 10:30:40.940
Yeah, Maus, I got Aurora.

10:30:40.940 --> 10:30:42.380
I'll be with the bigger break.

10:30:42.380 --> 10:30:43.980
Like, how do you want to break it down?

10:30:43.980 --> 10:30:45.500
You know, like, who do you want to give?

10:30:46.140 --> 10:30:47.980
They might have even played at the same time, actually.

10:30:47.980 --> 10:30:53.660
Yeah. I guess Narvys was a little bit more by the book, a little bit more easy, you know,

10:30:53.660 --> 10:30:55.580
against Ho2, where on the flip side, of course,

10:30:55.580 --> 10:30:57.780
Ferrari was that defeat to Maus.

10:30:59.380 --> 10:31:01.880
This is a bit better with Cadia, so I'm flying for one.

10:31:01.880 --> 10:31:05.880
He's spoke about him in that previous round not doing enough.

10:31:05.880 --> 10:31:07.680
Surely now it is.

10:31:08.580 --> 10:31:12.180
Well, maybe not enough. No, it won't, but Bit is gonna deliver.

10:31:12.580 --> 10:31:15.280
Now that bomb can come down. No play up towards the car himself.

10:31:15.280 --> 10:31:16.280
And he'll hit another shot.

10:31:16.280 --> 10:31:17.580
Whoa!

10:31:17.580 --> 10:31:21.080
And Santor is all four and Macauze re-aggresses.

10:31:21.080 --> 10:31:25.180
That is a huge, huge round to take for an RV.

10:31:25.180 --> 10:31:29.300
Number disadvantage, they're struggling to even get in towards the site to plant.

10:31:29.300 --> 10:31:34.140
And it's the 1,000 yard stair of Woxic, which sums up Aurora right now.

10:31:34.140 --> 10:31:36.420
That is a horrible round to squander.

10:31:36.420 --> 10:31:39.540
Hey, it's absolutely perfect for a bit, though.

10:31:39.540 --> 10:31:40.180
Yeah.

10:31:40.180 --> 10:31:43.260
I don't think the kills get any better than that.

10:31:43.260 --> 10:31:45.580
It doesn't even take a lot of damage on all three.

10:31:45.580 --> 10:31:47.900
It's insane from him.

10:31:47.900 --> 10:31:50.940
Two versus four, and they're diving out towards B.

10:31:50.940 --> 10:31:52.420
Yeah, B as well, you know.

10:31:52.420 --> 10:31:56.020
like just so hard to go into that bottom side of the deficit.

10:31:56.020 --> 10:31:58.420
They're angry here, Aurora.

10:31:58.420 --> 10:32:02.020
Some full-on faces for sure, but at least

10:32:02.020 --> 10:32:05.820
they are keeping to their game plan,

10:32:05.820 --> 10:32:10.220
getting aggressive here, trying to force out a lower by round.

10:32:10.220 --> 10:32:13.300
It does come close in places, but unfortunately,

10:32:13.300 --> 10:32:14.740
I don't think it's going to happen.

10:32:14.740 --> 10:32:17.180
Thatcher does find himself tucked in the corner.

10:32:17.180 --> 10:32:18.340
They'll check for it.

10:32:18.340 --> 10:32:22.380
I mean, Navi, yeah, they just can't put a foot wrong at the moment.

10:32:22.380 --> 10:32:28.380
that. Every decision they make

10:32:28.440 --> 10:32:30.380
is working there in that flow

10:32:30.440 --> 10:32:32.480
state. And even right down to

10:32:32.540 --> 10:32:34.380
this, the flank holding the

10:32:34.440 --> 10:32:36.380
flank is just perfect. It isn't

10:32:36.440 --> 10:32:38.380
a great round. He was on the

10:32:38.440 --> 10:32:40.380
pressure. This first two kills

10:32:40.440 --> 10:32:42.380
like he's getting run up by the

10:32:42.440 --> 10:32:44.380
MP 90 delivers in both instances.

10:32:44.440 --> 10:32:46.380
It's a bit weird on the Aurora

10:32:46.440 --> 10:32:48.380
side. I'm reading that there's

10:32:48.440 --> 10:32:49.440
just a lot of like acceptance

10:32:49.500 --> 10:32:50.440
almost that these rounds are

10:32:50.440 --> 10:32:53.180
You know, there needs to be a little bit more get up and go perhaps

10:32:53.180 --> 10:32:57.880
That's why the timeout comes in here that yeah, you're going into a buy, but I think this is more of a

10:32:58.480 --> 10:33:00.080
Vibe change

10:33:00.080 --> 10:33:01.800
Yeah within the team

10:33:01.800 --> 10:33:06.320
And I feel like this timeout might even be a bit of a vibe check like guys come on like I

10:33:07.040 --> 10:33:10.200
Know this frustration is gonna creep in and I know there's a bit of tilt, but

10:33:11.560 --> 10:33:16.120
It we it's do or die this is essentially a best of one broad to see who goes to playoffs

10:33:16.880 --> 10:33:19.440
No time to get rejected

10:33:19.440 --> 10:33:25.680
we have to find the second wind bring us back into wars this map

10:33:25.680 --> 10:33:31.560
Navi are just reading them like a book in the moment and they are making it so

10:33:31.560 --> 10:33:34.960
simple it's looking a lot more akin to what we got in Inferno and granted that

10:33:34.960 --> 10:33:40.520
was such a long time ago now especially in the scope of the series but I think

10:33:40.520 --> 10:33:44.800
life's so horrible for Aurora and in a similar vein maybe some closer rounds

10:33:44.800 --> 10:33:50.440
rounds but it does feel like Navi have got every little advantage. Waxix is so

10:33:50.440 --> 10:33:54.280
unfortunate to get the leg and then he goes through the flames takes so much

10:33:54.280 --> 10:33:59.320
damage and is the first to fall from a car safe. I mean I like the idea he

10:33:59.320 --> 10:34:02.720
called it confidence I think it could stage like this be a bit of blind

10:34:02.720 --> 10:34:09.440
frustration. I think that he hit a tag and then he goes in again so I

10:34:09.440 --> 10:34:13.120
think it's just even more annoying this I'm trying to get this first kill it's

10:34:13.120 --> 10:34:14.720
It's just not happening.

10:34:14.720 --> 10:34:16.840
So there's a lot of moments where they might put it down

10:34:16.840 --> 10:34:19.000
to like, look, like, how is that not a kill?

10:34:19.000 --> 10:34:21.680
How have I not found success there?

10:34:21.680 --> 10:34:24.280
But like, Navi are just doing whatever they want.

10:34:24.280 --> 10:34:25.400
It's just working.

10:34:25.400 --> 10:34:27.840
I think that previous round screams to me

10:34:27.840 --> 10:34:29.760
that they're frustrated and it's seeped in

10:34:29.760 --> 10:34:30.880
towards the gun round here.

10:34:30.880 --> 10:34:32.160
I think you're spot on.

10:34:32.160 --> 10:34:34.360
I think there's these overfaces that come through

10:34:34.360 --> 10:34:36.840
of just, you know, pure annoyance.

10:34:36.840 --> 10:34:39.200
But they can see in real time,

10:34:39.200 --> 10:34:42.440
Their playoff chances are slipping through the fingers.

10:34:43.840 --> 10:34:44.640
Wonderful holding.

10:34:46.120 --> 10:34:49.200
Just in case a pit player goes for a late look.

10:34:49.200 --> 10:34:50.680
I mean, he's got the right idea.

10:34:51.280 --> 10:34:52.120
Little does he know.

10:34:53.840 --> 10:34:55.840
Oh, yeah, Molotov forced a soft fly off.

10:34:56.440 --> 10:34:57.320
Nowhere he was surviving.

10:34:57.320 --> 10:34:58.600
The flash is fantastic.

10:34:58.600 --> 10:34:59.480
Himmer looked down.

10:35:00.120 --> 10:35:00.680
Who left?

10:35:01.400 --> 10:35:02.200
Okay, he doesn't even.

10:35:02.200 --> 10:35:02.960
Oh my God.

10:35:03.440 --> 10:35:05.040
I think I might have shown up on the minimap a little bit,

10:35:05.040 --> 10:35:06.840
like while he was halfway blind.

10:35:06.840 --> 10:35:09.840
They probably got combed over, like, hey, you saw him.

10:35:09.840 --> 10:35:10.840
Yeah, yeah.

10:35:10.840 --> 10:35:12.840
Great round though, again.

10:35:12.840 --> 10:35:17.840
It's just they're using Aurora's tendencies against them.

10:35:17.840 --> 10:35:19.840
They speak like the, the frustrations.

10:35:19.840 --> 10:35:21.840
We kind of saw this fall on faces.

10:35:21.840 --> 10:35:23.840
They're quite the jester at the moment.

10:35:23.840 --> 10:35:25.840
Aurora, because of how poorly he thinks he's going.

10:35:25.840 --> 10:35:27.840
But again, you would kind of get a bit annoyed,

10:35:27.840 --> 10:35:30.840
because some of these rounds have been so annoyingly close,

10:35:30.840 --> 10:35:33.840
or squandered, like that two versus four, for example.

10:35:33.840 --> 10:35:35.840
You are going to get a bit tilted,

10:35:35.840 --> 10:35:40.720
these rounds and this is the worst possible time for it. A leg on towards Antares on the cross.

10:35:48.160 --> 10:35:50.240
It's a four spot here in the penultimate of the play, but

10:35:52.560 --> 10:35:57.360
you lose this. We could very, very much be looking at 11.5 and surely there's no chance of

10:35:57.360 --> 10:36:01.040
recovering even if it does go to 9-3. I don't know if there's any chance of recovering.

10:36:01.040 --> 10:36:11.200
Yeah, yeah, for sure, it does seem that way, but we like to keep things unbiased as not to be accused of anything but Woxic

10:36:12.080 --> 10:36:15.440
trained in for the headshot doesn't quite happen for me. Just get to survive.

10:36:15.440 --> 10:36:19.920
Just get to trade off. It's like they've taken the site, but I'm keeping long here.

10:36:20.880 --> 10:36:26.000
Are they going to be able to get the retake going themselves? A smoke to maybe create some space, but

10:36:26.000 --> 10:36:28.640
also could just work for the T side. Honestly, wonderful.

10:36:28.640 --> 10:36:30.640
you know, you're going to be

10:36:30.640 --> 10:36:32.640
going to be able to get to the

10:36:32.640 --> 10:36:34.640
top of the level. Looking to

10:36:34.640 --> 10:36:36.640
take the fight to the all better

10:36:36.640 --> 10:36:38.640
than the scout. Of course, he

10:36:38.640 --> 10:36:40.640
will not to and the hold in

10:36:40.640 --> 10:36:42.640
towards short is effective. Not

10:36:42.640 --> 10:36:44.640
going to happen. They are just

10:36:44.640 --> 10:36:46.640
still throwing themselves out.

10:36:46.640 --> 10:36:47.640
You know what I mean? Like

10:36:47.640 --> 10:36:48.640
we're Katie are really trying

10:36:48.640 --> 10:36:50.640
as best, but it's just not

10:36:50.640 --> 10:36:52.640
getting off the ground in any

10:36:52.640 --> 10:36:54.640
of these rounds now, man. You

10:36:54.640 --> 10:36:56.640
know, forced by can be a bit

10:36:56.640 --> 10:37:03.920
man and get an opening kit that is just not happening. Navi aren't losing any good fights right now.

10:37:03.920 --> 10:37:12.240
They are not struggling. It's the last round of play in this half. Double digits already secured

10:37:12.240 --> 10:37:18.480
by Navi on this C side. Unfortunately it's just been non-existent. And as Antares to open up a

10:37:18.480 --> 10:37:22.720
seeding, Salfi can be tested. They're diving on through. He will get one. Make that two for him.

10:37:22.720 --> 10:37:25.120
Running low on ammo. I only got two bullets left in the MP9.

10:37:25.120 --> 10:37:30.020
He's desperately spamming E and hoping that he can scoop up some sort of upgrade.

10:37:30.020 --> 10:37:34.320
He can't find it. Might have to opt for the reload. There it is. Now finally gets the AK.

10:37:35.520 --> 10:37:40.820
Two versus five. Surely an unsquanderable round.

10:37:41.620 --> 10:37:43.620
There you go. That's a word for you.

10:37:43.820 --> 10:37:44.720
And he...

10:37:44.720 --> 10:37:46.020
I'm bad to your dictionaries.

10:37:49.220 --> 10:37:52.520
I don't know if you were so serious about the words, man.

10:37:52.720 --> 10:37:55.840
I was gonna say like any crossword my power is out there

10:37:56.800 --> 10:38:01.700
He just didn't realize it that gave him crazy points on Scrabble. Yeah

10:38:03.360 --> 10:38:07.560
What's it countdown that's all I'm thinking about down a bit of a British coded show

10:38:07.560 --> 10:38:12.920
Yeah, I guess I even a shot outside of the UK probably not. I don't know that any other country in the world would watch that

10:38:12.920 --> 10:38:14.920
It's like half past four

10:38:14.920 --> 10:38:15.920
Daytime TV.

10:38:15.920 --> 10:38:20.520
Pensioner, you know, like, nothing happens, so what does that word mean?

10:38:20.520 --> 10:38:23.680
And then there's like a lady in the corner with a dictionary, it's like, invented in

10:38:23.680 --> 10:38:25.480
15, this is weird, you know.

10:38:25.480 --> 10:38:27.200
And then you've got that one maths round.

10:38:27.200 --> 10:38:28.200
Yep, yep.

10:38:28.200 --> 10:38:29.200
I don't think...

10:38:29.200 --> 10:38:34.920
There's a very select few people that enjoy that show, truly, but it is just so British

10:38:34.920 --> 10:38:35.920
coded.

10:38:35.920 --> 10:38:38.280
You know, it's very much like, oh, I've just put the kettle on for a tea.

10:38:38.280 --> 10:38:39.280
That's it.

10:38:39.280 --> 10:38:41.280
So I'm just going to go into that, I'm going to watch a countdown.

10:38:41.280 --> 10:38:42.280
Oh!

10:38:42.280 --> 10:38:43.280
Wonderful.

10:38:43.280 --> 10:38:44.280
Nice shot.

10:38:44.280 --> 10:38:50.040
off. There might be legs behind it. I speak too soon. Closed out, so a small sigh of relief,

10:38:50.040 --> 10:38:56.200
but this is a very tall task to get back in towards the scheme. 10-2 at the half. We'll catch you off the break.

10:41:44.280 --> 10:41:46.280
The end of the video.

10:41:46.280 --> 10:41:48.280
Thanks for watching.

10:41:48.280 --> 10:41:50.280
Like, share, and subscribe.

10:41:50.280 --> 10:41:52.280
See you next time.

10:42:14.280 --> 10:42:21.280
they are going to lock themselves into that playoff spot. And I think, rightfully so, with the 10 to half in their favor,

10:42:21.280 --> 10:42:34.280
Rora just really not getting in the conversation. Maybe the T side gives them the ability to direct the game as we like to take as a narrative between now and I, but unfortunately, I don't think it's going to be the case here.

10:42:34.280 --> 10:42:43.280
maybe the steepest uphill battle you can possibly imagine, even if it was a 12-0, the difference really is negligible at a scoreline like this.

10:42:43.280 --> 10:42:46.280
You've got some breathing room, but the pistol is still a must.

10:42:46.280 --> 10:42:47.280
Yeah.

10:42:47.280 --> 10:42:56.280
In a weird way, we don't normally say it too often, but pistol does feel like it is still a die, really.

10:42:56.280 --> 10:43:01.280
You can lose a pistol, and all of you up to 11, especially if you don't get a bomb plant behind it as well for Aurora.

10:43:01.280 --> 10:43:07.020
you're probably stuck in towards an awkward spot like for spying out the rest of the rounds and never having a

10:43:07.420 --> 10:43:11.740
Proper set full by unless you want to play for OT, but whoever wants to play for OT

10:43:13.860 --> 10:43:18.060
There's sort of now or never all this Aurora side

10:43:24.660 --> 10:43:29.760
Very tentative as they move up towards a but in comes the flash and that'll send them on forward

10:43:29.760 --> 10:43:32.300
three players here to meet them.

10:43:32.300 --> 10:43:35.500
Oh, lovely little touchdown flash there

10:43:35.500 --> 10:43:38.080
to just push these players away.

10:43:38.080 --> 10:43:39.780
The bomb is not necessarily committed in.

10:43:39.780 --> 10:43:42.280
They've tried to reposition towards middle here.

10:43:42.280 --> 10:43:44.720
Oh, it's going to find three.

10:43:44.720 --> 10:43:46.880
No. Oh, my goodness.

10:43:46.880 --> 10:43:49.420
Magic, the only one left.

10:43:49.420 --> 10:43:50.520
He's going to put his grace.

10:43:50.520 --> 10:43:51.760
I don't know.

10:43:51.760 --> 10:43:55.760
That is the most insane overcookers we like to say.

10:43:55.760 --> 10:43:57.660
I think you just go, hey, man.

10:43:57.660 --> 10:44:03.020
Yeah, they, two flashes to send you in towards A and then Soulfly gets a kill, just commit with him.

10:44:04.300 --> 10:44:07.260
I think it was three in the end, I think it was like two and then someone came

10:44:07.260 --> 10:44:10.380
back on that corner to throw like a little, little touchdown flash.

10:44:10.380 --> 10:44:12.460
Yeah, um, Soulfly under on Dora. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

10:44:12.460 --> 10:44:15.260
As he dived in towards CT and he was kind of, kind of popping himself out of long,

10:44:15.260 --> 10:44:19.420
but like even still, like you've done, you put so much into that and yeah, I think you should put it.

10:44:19.420 --> 10:44:22.300
Just get the pistol, like the pistol doesn't have to be advanced.

10:44:22.300 --> 10:44:24.300
Oh, it's gonna, it's gonna work.

10:44:25.580 --> 10:44:27.100
Quad kill for bit.

10:44:27.100 --> 10:44:33.740
And that's that. You can see the dejection over there, but what a round from him.

10:44:34.740 --> 10:44:39.340
Three quick kills with the Duallys in towards him, and the fourth just to seal the deal with a cherry on top.

10:44:39.340 --> 10:44:45.380
I mean, they just make it too easy. Don't swing together properly.

10:44:47.540 --> 10:44:53.580
Oh, so easy. 11 for Navi. And like we said, this is kind of the only decision you've got here, really, Aurora.

10:44:53.580 --> 10:44:56.460
Just forced by out the rest of the rounds and hope for the best.

10:44:57.100 --> 10:45:16.860
contacting up middle here to give it one last go it feels like we'll be given a lot of room

10:45:18.540 --> 10:45:25.020
no early fights no risky moves from navi which you might expect a scoreline like this they will

10:45:25.020 --> 10:45:27.420
look to play it conventionally and with a lot of respect.

10:45:27.420 --> 10:45:32.620
Images gave away his smoke which obviously would be nice in a spot like this to slow down the short

10:45:32.620 --> 10:45:36.380
part but now he's just gonna have to fight. He's got no utility for this to be flashed into these

10:45:36.380 --> 10:45:40.860
engagements and the first is good. Molly down front site, no plant for you unless you swing

10:45:40.860 --> 10:45:45.500
this Goose player. It's a risk in itself. The Deagle connects for one. The scout will see it

10:45:45.500 --> 10:45:49.580
off as a location officer. Finds one with the Mach 10 but he needed more and he doesn't get it.

10:45:49.580 --> 10:45:51.700
Magic trying to deliver with that tech nine

10:45:52.500 --> 10:45:58.700
How about a second? Oh my god, it's not exactly a bad effort, but a one versus two for what's taking the Scout?

10:45:59.620 --> 10:46:05.180
It's not gonna happen and that was your moment unfortunately, but again, they settle very very well

10:46:05.180 --> 10:46:13.060
And I think Navi just realizing it's like let's not give any fights. Let's not give any early kills drawn back pulled away and

10:46:13.380 --> 10:46:15.380
playing very very well

10:46:15.380 --> 10:46:21.780
In the end there were some moments, you know the Mac 10 also found Alexi like immediately

10:46:21.780 --> 10:46:26.680
He was coming in as the support of Emma and he just gets slammed

10:46:26.680 --> 10:46:30.760
So, you know there were a couple moments, but again, Navi it's similar to the first half already

10:46:31.040 --> 10:46:33.640
Just can't put foot wrong man like they're always

10:46:34.400 --> 10:46:39.280
Able to find the winning moment and you can see how I'm kind of bleep the the picture is here

10:46:39.280 --> 10:46:42.320
It's as we hit the 12 to score line

10:46:42.320 --> 10:46:49.280
We've seen the first player from Aurora go into double-digit kills like we've just then got wakadia up to his 10th

10:46:49.520 --> 10:46:51.520
That's as good as it gets

10:46:51.520 --> 10:46:53.520
We look at the flip side and it's

10:46:54.080 --> 10:46:56.080
everyone bar lexie

10:46:56.080 --> 10:46:57.680
How did it?

10:46:57.680 --> 10:47:03.120
But how did Emma ever get that man? She pushed up short, but no no there was a guy she looked where this guy is

10:47:03.120 --> 10:47:08.560
He must have come lower tunnels and they just not like checked each other at all and you see wakadia fully catches off

10:47:08.560 --> 10:47:12.400
off. Oh, he defends. Okay. All

10:47:12.400 --> 10:47:13.300
right. There you go. He gets

10:47:13.300 --> 10:47:14.600
himself a highlight moment.

10:47:14.640 --> 10:47:16.160
I'm not dead just yet. But

10:47:16.160 --> 10:47:17.760
yeah, there was I think Emma

10:47:17.760 --> 10:47:19.360
comes through lower tunnels.

10:47:19.960 --> 10:47:21.400
Maybe look short, but they

10:47:21.400 --> 10:47:22.120
missed each other. They

10:47:22.120 --> 10:47:23.040
definitely missed each other.

10:47:23.400 --> 10:47:25.200
There we go. That's a second

10:47:25.200 --> 10:47:26.640
time where we can talk about our

10:47:26.640 --> 10:47:28.520
new found phrase of the hair

10:47:28.520 --> 10:47:30.600
effect. Yes, you get to you'll

10:47:30.600 --> 10:47:31.680
be hearing that one for years,

10:47:31.680 --> 10:47:33.120
guys. Yeah, we've been looking

10:47:33.160 --> 10:47:34.760
just letting know for a phrase

10:47:34.760 --> 10:47:36.400
mayo and script started it.

10:47:37.080 --> 10:47:38.200
Yeah, okay. All right, we heard

10:47:38.200 --> 10:47:40.200
it from a producer. Yeah, but we do want to give him a

10:47:40.200 --> 10:47:42.680
grandast of it. You know, yeah, we we're getting it out into the

10:47:42.680 --> 10:47:45.280
world. Yeah, give it a year and I'm claiming I invented it.

10:47:47.240 --> 10:47:47.880
Just fully

10:47:49.920 --> 10:47:52.240
air effect, though, is you know, when you get to that finish

10:47:52.240 --> 10:47:54.160
line, but yeah, maybe take your foot off the gas a little bit,

10:47:54.160 --> 10:47:56.640
get a little bit too comfortable, overconfident, however you

10:47:56.640 --> 10:47:58.840
want to put it. I feel like when we're doing, you know, tattoo

10:47:58.840 --> 10:48:02.160
games or whatever, we see it all the time, maybe every time.

10:48:02.280 --> 10:48:07.320
It's insane. You know, one in 100 games, it just doesn't. Yeah,

10:48:07.320 --> 10:48:16.320
Uh, it doesn't happen and they close out cleanly and it might be worth something, you know, just get the notepad out, get the tallies out and see if it's, uh, the case at the top level as well.

10:48:16.920 --> 10:48:28.620
Yeah, that slight mental check out or thinking, yeah, I'd stand it, especially on a scoreline like this. Yeah, maybe you test one of the riskier angles or riskier flashes that you might have.

10:48:29.020 --> 10:48:34.820
Yeah, because you know that ultimately like their chance of them getting back in towards this game is all but zero.

10:48:34.820 --> 10:48:39.720
Alexi, what have you got for us? One. Not quite the second.

10:48:39.720 --> 10:48:45.960
Information gather on towards Antares, but I've just fallen to wonderful on the Scout.

10:48:45.960 --> 10:48:49.160
Surely we're not losing to this round. Surely not.

10:48:49.160 --> 10:48:53.880
Bit. Backside on towards the round. Scout will fall. Bit needs something a bit more active.

10:48:53.880 --> 10:48:58.960
But will they expect the second player to lose? They are going to clear him thankfully as in the fall.

10:48:58.960 --> 10:49:03.240
So there was a brief moment there. A little window. My car's a-tapping away,

10:49:03.240 --> 10:49:06.440
but he just can't line up the heads.

10:49:06.440 --> 10:49:09.440
Sire reliefs are still alive for Aurora,

10:49:09.440 --> 10:49:12.380
but it was a moment that I could have fallen flat.

10:49:13.740 --> 10:49:16.320
Yeah, even in like the lost round,

10:49:16.320 --> 10:49:17.780
I don't want to say the losing round,

10:49:17.780 --> 10:49:19.280
there's never really been any of them.

10:49:19.280 --> 10:49:21.820
But even in the lost round, Navier there,

10:49:21.820 --> 10:49:23.320
Navier have presence.

10:49:23.320 --> 10:49:25.920
But we are going to be going for a little longer here.

10:49:27.620 --> 10:49:32.060
I think, again, the chance of the gap closes all too likely.

10:49:32.060 --> 10:49:38.720
Aurora, with the consolation rounds, feels slightly better about themselves, there's no future tournament to come, no future map to come.

10:49:39.820 --> 10:49:44.120
Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute, there's a lot of them here, there is a lot of them here.

10:49:44.120 --> 10:49:46.920
Oh my goodness, McCarthy with the eagle coming in from behind us.

10:49:46.920 --> 10:49:48.220
WOOOOO!

10:49:48.220 --> 10:49:49.720
OH IT'S HAPPENING!

10:49:49.720 --> 10:49:57.120
How would they want it like that? I just, I don't believe that, I mean, that sums it up to absolute perfection,

10:49:57.120 --> 10:50:03.560
the aurora just did not know where the winds were coming from and they were a total shadow

10:50:03.560 --> 10:50:10.360
of themselves on that third map. Insane, absolutely insane. Navi playing a great game there and

10:50:10.360 --> 10:50:15.680
you know, when they're on form. It's a very scary side. So yes, there's a conversation

10:50:15.680 --> 10:50:20.920
on the high level. We saw Falcons beat out by Taliti where we went streak ended and all

10:50:20.920 --> 10:50:27.660
this, but Navi, I think there could be a dark horse-ish given the form of this team at the

10:50:27.660 --> 10:50:28.660
moment.

10:50:28.660 --> 10:50:32.360
Yeah, absolutely. And I mean, just insult to injury, rubbing salt in the wound, however

10:50:32.360 --> 10:50:37.880
you want to put it, losing to a full eco. It was one deagle of four USPs. That is such

10:50:37.880 --> 10:50:44.080
a poor round to lose. But it's also a really kind of horse series from Aurora. You actually

10:50:44.080 --> 10:50:45.580
kind of zoom out a little bit.

10:50:45.580 --> 10:50:46.580
Oh, yeah.

10:50:46.580 --> 10:50:49.720
Map number one, they got destroyed. And then the same thing happens towards map number

10:50:49.720 --> 10:50:59.720
They have a close map to Sean. There's something in terms of stock take away from that. But in the more macro side of that series, there is a lot more to want from Aurora.

10:50:59.720 --> 10:51:09.720
They go out of a whimper, right? That's really awful. They would have wanted in their mind that early goal for Rio get to playoffs and then let's see what we can do from there on out.

10:51:09.720 --> 10:51:11.720
And they can't even tick off the first box.

10:51:11.720 --> 10:51:15.640
first box. I think the average game from Navi throughout the series is a lot better. Yes,

10:51:15.640 --> 10:51:20.040
they lose a map and it does come very, very close. I think there are a lot of mistakes

10:51:20.040 --> 10:51:24.400
made and we'll definitely, you know, get the opportunity to ask about it a little bit.

10:51:24.400 --> 10:51:28.520
But I think Aurora of like giving it their all onto map number two, they really had to

10:51:28.520 --> 10:51:34.480
bring their level up and perhaps just stressing themselves out and a lot more energy than

10:51:34.480 --> 10:51:40.040
they were maybe wanting to expend or expecting. And it just leads to some indecisiveness and

10:51:40.040 --> 10:51:45.520
some very, um, messy rounds on map one, but into map three, like it was just insane. Every

10:51:45.520 --> 10:51:50.880
single round had Navi written all over it. And then maybe Aurora were able to, you know,

10:51:50.880 --> 10:51:55.440
find an individual that had a flank or the, uh, lucky missing the smoke or something

10:51:55.440 --> 10:51:59.120
along those lines, right? But, um, I don't think it was a single round where you were

10:51:59.120 --> 10:52:04.040
like, okay, Aurora, great. Five versus three, five versus two. There may have been one of

10:52:04.040 --> 10:52:06.960
them if, you know, people want to correct me out there, but it just didn't feel that

10:52:06.960 --> 10:52:10.720
way throughout. No, no, yeah, I think you're absolutely spot on. Really, really well done

10:52:10.720 --> 10:52:14.760
by Navi. And I think what you were kind of talking about, like I would consider this

10:52:14.760 --> 10:52:18.400
side one of the major dark horses for this tournament. Obviously, you've got a Falcon

10:52:18.400 --> 10:52:21.780
side that looking very scary. You've also got Fury and home soil that you can never

10:52:21.780 --> 10:52:25.760
discount. And that could be really, really interesting too. But Navi quietly cooking,

10:52:25.760 --> 10:52:29.640
and it's actually, you know, so far a really decent tournament or things like that. Yes,

10:52:29.640 --> 10:52:33.920
they lose to Fury. They still take a map off them. And at the Fury side, that of course

10:52:33.920 --> 10:52:40.080
have a lot more stake with them specifically on home soil with this tournament, but also a side that also are really scary.

10:52:40.080 --> 10:52:42.320
So I'm really interested to see how they kind of pan out.

10:52:42.320 --> 10:52:48.960
I'm liking what I see from Navi because he's looking so sharp, like he's relentless on those seasides.

10:52:48.960 --> 10:52:54.480
Bit was brilliant as well, especially kind of in kind of the brief window that we got on the towards that CT side.

10:52:54.480 --> 10:52:55.820
Wonderful looking, quite clean.

10:52:55.820 --> 10:53:00.980
Of course, he's been a real point of contention with his Navi side, but I thought he had some really good moments.

10:53:00.980 --> 10:53:29.980
in the end, you know, fantastic work from Navi all the way back, even from this first map, it was just such a dominant display in this 13 to 4. And I mean, I was hating the picture for the series, really. Yeah, no, 100%. 100%. And it's a little bit of a shame to see Aurora capitulating such a fashion. But I think that at the end of the day, the Navi team is just that more complete package and Aurora are lacking some of the punch that they had towards like the start of the game.

10:53:30.980 --> 10:53:35.380
last year, but once in a while we do get to see it. You know what I mean? Like they make a final

10:53:36.660 --> 10:53:40.820
and you know they're able to maybe use the bracket in their favor

10:53:41.780 --> 10:53:47.460
pro league, but ultimately it doesn't happen for them here in Rio. We do have an interview ready

10:53:47.460 --> 10:53:52.420
with Alexi, I believe, so very much looking forward to again to pick his brains. Yes,

10:53:52.420 --> 10:53:57.060
thank you very much for joining us. Congrats on the win. Congrats on a really clean finish there as

10:53:57.060 --> 10:54:01.060
Well, talk me through this Aurora match-up for you guys.

10:54:01.060 --> 10:54:05.540
Obviously a team you've met quite a lot in the past couple of months, it's safe to say.

10:54:05.540 --> 10:54:08.420
So what do you make of them in general? What do you make of them in this series?

10:54:10.100 --> 10:54:17.220
First of all, thank you. Second, I think that there's just something that we have against them.

10:54:17.220 --> 10:54:24.660
Maybe it's mental that I feel like when we win an important round, they might feel twice the

10:54:24.660 --> 10:54:28.260
pressure. Maybe they understand that it happened too many times that they lost against us and

10:54:28.260 --> 10:54:34.820
they're getting super frustrated about losing important rounds. So I think we are just kind of

10:54:34.820 --> 10:54:39.540
steaming on the momentum and for them it's very hard to come back into the game. At least it feels

10:54:39.540 --> 10:54:46.260
like that from my perspective but who knows. Talking about Mirage as well, like such a close map

10:54:46.260 --> 10:54:51.940
obviously there was a very very near kind of comeback as well right down to the wire but what

10:54:51.940 --> 10:54:55.940
What were the feelings as that map was progressing of Mirage, very back and forth?

10:54:55.940 --> 10:54:58.940
I felt like neither side really got momentum for a long, long time.

10:54:58.940 --> 10:55:02.940
But then also to follow that, what was the talk like in between Mirage and Dust2?

10:55:02.940 --> 10:55:05.940
Because it looked like we got a completely different Navi in towards that beside her.

10:55:07.940 --> 10:55:12.940
Yeah, I think we played maybe a tad bit too fast on Mirage T side.

10:55:12.940 --> 10:55:18.940
The game was 3-3, I believe, and we kind of played super fast rounds,

10:55:18.940 --> 10:55:21.660
And they ended up having the right stack, I believe.

10:55:21.660 --> 10:55:25.300
They played 4-8 two times when we went there and completely shut us down.

10:55:25.300 --> 10:55:28.140
They were not overthinking.

10:55:28.140 --> 10:55:30.100
I think they just sent four players there at the start,

10:55:30.100 --> 10:55:33.260
and they just thought that we're going to hit the side, and they were correct.

10:55:33.260 --> 10:55:35.660
So looking back into the T side,

10:55:35.660 --> 10:55:38.220
I would have wished that we played a bit more slowly,

10:55:38.220 --> 10:55:41.220
because I feel like the slower rounds, we were kind of in control.

10:55:43.180 --> 10:55:47.660
Yeah, we ended up trying to make a comeback on CT, but they closed out the map.

10:55:47.660 --> 10:55:50.920
But when we went outside, we spoke that, hey guys,

10:55:50.920 --> 10:55:53.440
it's pretty rare that we win this guys 2-0,

10:55:53.440 --> 10:55:54.600
and over all this tournament,

10:55:54.600 --> 10:55:57.160
we've been dropping a map on every series,

10:55:57.160 --> 10:56:01.520
except for Hotu, that we understood,

10:56:01.520 --> 10:56:02.880
we played a lot of maps against them,

10:56:02.880 --> 10:56:06.160
and a lot of matches ended up 2-1.

10:56:06.160 --> 10:56:07.880
So it's the same thing now, it's 1-1,

10:56:07.880 --> 10:56:10.880
and we are always a step ahead on the decider,

10:56:10.880 --> 10:56:12.080
and that's what happened again.

10:56:12.080 --> 10:56:13.800
I think we were fully in control,

10:56:13.800 --> 10:56:15.920
like you said, on Dust2T side.

10:56:15.920 --> 10:56:20.920
Maybe we always need that extra momentum of beating the first pistol just to get things going.

10:56:21.320 --> 10:56:25.120
But yeah, it just seems to be a tendency for us that versus them.

10:56:25.720 --> 10:56:28.920
No matter the decider, we seem to be one step ahead.

10:56:30.620 --> 10:56:32.720
Yeah, definitely felt that way.

10:56:32.720 --> 10:56:36.420
I think even, you know, in moments where they were getting back in,

10:56:36.420 --> 10:56:39.920
it was rounds that you guys were sort of letting slip a little bit

10:56:39.920 --> 10:56:44.120
or you always had a presence in kind of thing with retakes, etc.

10:56:44.120 --> 10:56:48.120
I wanted to ask, like a more

10:56:48.120 --> 10:56:50.120
general question on how you feel

10:56:50.120 --> 10:56:52.120
Navi are doing at the moment.

10:56:52.120 --> 10:56:53.120
Obviously, you've bagged a win

10:56:53.120 --> 10:56:55.120
this year, um, and you know,

10:56:55.120 --> 10:56:57.120
you're looking in good form, but

10:56:57.120 --> 10:56:59.120
then when you meet one of the

10:56:59.120 --> 10:57:01.120
scarier sides, you know, you've

10:57:01.120 --> 10:57:03.120
met vitality in the B05. Sometimes

10:57:03.120 --> 10:57:04.120
it can be difficult for you guys

10:57:04.120 --> 10:57:06.120
in those types of matchups. And

10:57:06.120 --> 10:57:07.120
now, you know, we got this

10:57:07.120 --> 10:57:09.120
Falcons that are maybe coming up

10:57:09.120 --> 10:57:11.120
behind people a little bit with

10:57:11.120 --> 10:57:13.120
the kicks and dead team, whatever.

10:57:13.120 --> 10:57:19.760
We're feeling pretty confident thus far. I think that we have a lot of things up our sleeves.

10:57:19.760 --> 10:57:24.920
And I think the final boss for us is Vitality. We ended up beating Falcos last time we met them.

10:57:24.920 --> 10:57:29.520
Right now they seem to be more solid. We ended up taking Vitality.

10:57:29.520 --> 10:57:33.320
So I think our next match is going to be against Vitality actually.

10:57:33.320 --> 10:57:37.720
And we need to be... I think for us it's a good thing.

10:57:37.720 --> 10:57:41.520
If we want to win this event, we need to win Vitality.

10:57:41.520 --> 10:57:52.520
And I don't care which part of the playoffs we play them, so better earlier than later, I feel like.

10:57:52.520 --> 10:57:59.520
And yeah, we see a couple more teams playing with better CS than we saw on previous matches.

10:57:59.520 --> 10:58:03.520
Furia has been playing well, Mouse kind of, like they both reached the playoffs now.

10:58:03.520 --> 10:58:07.520
And as you said, Falco seemed to be super strong here.

10:58:07.520 --> 10:58:14.480
And yeah, we're going to play play fighting the next and I think it's got to be an interesting game and rematch from the grand final

10:58:15.320 --> 10:58:19.520
Yeah, really kind of spicy side of the bracket as well with fury awaiting behind

10:58:19.520 --> 10:58:22.640
I want to kind of ask on my side how you feeling

10:58:23.000 --> 10:58:28.340
Heading in towards the playoffs, right? Of course, you know, we always talk about Brazilian crowds and kind of this sort of tournament

10:58:28.440 --> 10:58:31.520
Specifically that the love for counter strike out in that country

10:58:31.520 --> 10:58:35.780
What does it mean for you guys and how excited are you to get to play in front of what is you know?

10:58:35.780 --> 10:58:37.780
one of the loudest crowds that we get in CS.

10:58:39.260 --> 10:58:40.700
Yeah, we are excited.

10:58:40.700 --> 10:58:42.960
I mean, we lifted the trophy here two years ago

10:58:42.960 --> 10:58:44.040
and it was something special.

10:58:44.040 --> 10:58:47.820
I feel like the crowd is just something extra,

10:58:47.820 --> 10:58:50.620
something you have to play in front of

10:58:50.620 --> 10:58:52.740
and something you're waiting to play in front of.

10:58:52.740 --> 10:58:54.940
So that's super exciting for us.

10:58:54.940 --> 10:58:56.300
And I hope they're gonna cheer for us

10:58:56.300 --> 10:58:57.900
when we play against Vitality.

10:58:57.900 --> 10:58:59.540
And I hope we're gonna see a stronger Nabi

10:58:59.540 --> 10:59:02.140
than we saw on the previous Grand Final.

10:59:02.140 --> 10:59:03.300
And then we'll lose in 0-3,

10:59:03.300 --> 10:59:04.500
even though we had our chances,

10:59:04.500 --> 10:59:10.940
But now we need to be more confident and try and go into the game without second-guessing ourselves.

10:59:11.940 --> 10:59:13.820
Yeah, awesome. Well, brother, thank you very much for joining us.

10:59:13.820 --> 10:59:16.020
Absolute pleasure to have you on as always.

10:59:16.020 --> 10:59:19.900
Congratulations on the win and booking your spot in towards playoffs and buddy, best of luck.

10:59:19.900 --> 10:59:21.060
I'm really excited for you.

10:59:21.060 --> 10:59:22.060
Thank you guys.

10:59:22.060 --> 10:59:23.060
Thank you. See you.

10:59:23.060 --> 10:59:24.060
Yes, take care, man.

10:59:24.900 --> 10:59:26.820
Always good to check in.

10:59:26.820 --> 10:59:28.020
Vibe seemed very good.

10:59:28.020 --> 10:59:30.420
Counter-strike seemed very good, but he knows it.

10:59:30.420 --> 10:59:31.140
Everybody knows it.

10:59:31.140 --> 10:59:33.860
right now, enemy number one is vitality.

10:59:33.860 --> 10:59:37.740
And for that to be the first round in that quarter final,

10:59:37.740 --> 10:59:38.580
oh, that's good.

10:59:38.580 --> 10:59:41.100
And not only that, it's then you follow up with Furia,

10:59:41.100 --> 10:59:43.620
hometown heroes, like that side of the bracket,

10:59:43.620 --> 10:59:45.780
you know, no disrespect to the other side,

10:59:45.780 --> 10:59:47.700
but this side of the bracket is the cool side.

10:59:47.700 --> 10:59:50.780
Like that is an insane start things.

10:59:50.780 --> 10:59:53.180
Novi, arguably kind of one of it,

10:59:53.180 --> 10:59:55.020
not the best contender that we've got at the moment,

10:59:55.020 --> 10:59:56.780
because we know what this side can do

10:59:56.780 --> 10:59:58.380
against enemy number one,

10:59:58.380 --> 11:00:00.720
and then Furia waiting in the wings in the semi-final,

11:00:00.720 --> 11:00:04.120
that's sick. I mean, it's just

11:00:04.120 --> 11:00:04.920
crazy, though. It's like the

11:00:04.920 --> 11:00:06.720
perfect six teams. You know,

11:00:06.720 --> 11:00:08.320
it is. Maybe you might want the

11:00:08.320 --> 11:00:09.520
Mongols in the conversation

11:00:09.520 --> 11:00:10.920
a little bit, but obviously,

11:00:10.920 --> 11:00:12.320
you know, not the tournament,

11:00:12.320 --> 11:00:13.320
and I think really it's like

11:00:13.320 --> 11:00:14.720
these are the teams that if I

11:00:14.720 --> 11:00:16.120
tie here all the way at the top,

11:00:16.120 --> 11:00:18.720
they've just taken a loss. Still

11:00:18.720 --> 11:00:19.720
in the playoffs. It was a

11:00:19.720 --> 11:00:21.720
semi final game. Whatever, right?

11:00:21.720 --> 11:00:22.720
You talked about saving strats

11:00:22.720 --> 11:00:24.720
a little bit. Maybe, um, but,

11:00:24.720 --> 11:00:26.720
you know, I think that all those

11:00:26.720 --> 11:00:28.320
teams there, they're all capable

11:00:28.320 --> 11:00:29.720
of winning this. Which version

11:00:29.720 --> 11:00:50.720
it feels like every single game in the playoffs is going to be an absolute banger with the crowd as well. It's fallen very, very nicely for the world of Counter Strike. I think it's safe to say. Yeah, this has all the makings to be, honestly, potentially one of the best playoffs we get, maybe even all year long, like we very rarely get such a stacked playoffs and especially with so much at stake, just prior to the major as well. This could really be an absolute

11:00:50.720 --> 11:00:54.660
the game. We're going to be

11:00:54.660 --> 11:00:56.660
absolutely bomb on a of a

11:00:56.660 --> 11:00:58.660
playoffs. But with that being

11:00:58.660 --> 11:01:00.660
said, Mati, we hate to say it.

11:01:00.660 --> 11:01:02.660
We really do. But that's the

11:01:02.660 --> 11:01:03.660
B stream done. It's honestly an

11:01:03.660 --> 11:01:04.660
absolute honor that we get to

11:01:04.660 --> 11:01:06.660
kind of round it out. We've got

11:01:06.660 --> 11:01:08.660
some really new games to see out

11:01:08.660 --> 11:01:10.660
the day as well. But only a

11:01:10.660 --> 11:01:11.660
quick B stream here as we move

11:01:11.660 --> 11:01:13.660
in towards the playoffs, of

11:01:13.660 --> 11:01:14.660
course, and that arena we know

11:01:14.660 --> 11:01:16.660
how good the counter strike is

11:01:16.660 --> 11:01:17.660
there. We're very, very excited

11:01:17.660 --> 11:01:18.660
to watch from the wings. But

11:01:18.660 --> 11:01:19.660
thank you very much for joining

11:01:19.660 --> 11:01:23.900
stream. It's always an honor from us. Thank you for joining us and until next time, take care.

11:01:49.660 --> 11:01:51.660
Let me speak

11:01:51.660 --> 11:01:55.660
I've already made up my mind

11:01:55.660 --> 11:01:59.660
Take off your vest and turn it around

11:01:59.660 --> 11:02:03.660
I train at the bases of my body

11:02:03.660 --> 11:02:05.660
You put it against your hand

11:02:05.660 --> 11:02:08.660
The best is to let me speak

11:02:08.660 --> 11:02:10.660
I'm a Swiss

11:02:10.660 --> 11:02:12.660
Tintin, tintin, tintin

11:02:12.660 --> 11:02:17.660
My meticulous, my particular

11:02:17.660 --> 11:02:19.660
To the lack of my power,

11:02:19.660 --> 11:02:22.660
to the suspicion and to the mental issue,

11:02:22.660 --> 11:02:26.660
I can't let it go.

11:02:26.660 --> 11:02:30.660
Come and change

11:02:30.660 --> 11:02:35.660
to disturb your heart.

11:02:35.660 --> 11:02:38.660
It was longer than the right one,

11:02:38.660 --> 11:02:40.660
improvising is more

11:02:40.660 --> 11:02:43.660
than a mantra to fail.

11:02:43.660 --> 11:02:46.660
Let it go.

11:02:46.660 --> 11:02:52.660
No, but you, oh, sir, I know.

11:02:52.660 --> 11:02:58.660
Hey, hey, show up, boy, no, I'm the car.

11:02:58.660 --> 11:03:01.660
No, I'm a senior, no, I'm the girl.

11:03:01.660 --> 11:03:08.660
Hey, hey, show up, boy, no, I'm the car.

11:03:08.660 --> 11:03:10.660
No, but you, oh, sir, I know.

11:03:10.660 --> 11:03:19.620
I'll see how you felt, you

11:03:25.780 --> 11:03:32.820
Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2026 is brought to you by ESL and partnership with Intel.

11:03:32.820 --> 11:03:39.820
Acer Predator

11:03:39.820 --> 11:03:43.820
Chex

11:03:43.820 --> 11:03:44.820
and DHL

11:04:02.820 --> 11:04:11.820
Rafa really making history, absolutely phenomenal.

11:04:11.820 --> 11:04:18.820
And Ace is the champion of the Angel Extreme Master World Final.

11:04:18.820 --> 11:04:22.820
Still not quite done as he is going to take this fight for three seconds left.

11:04:22.820 --> 11:04:26.820
Last two rounds and we're just going to start it with a three and a second.

11:04:26.820 --> 11:04:31.820
And this is an excellent move this is, but he's not content with just the Nexus kill.

11:04:31.820 --> 11:04:33.820
He just got shot down!

11:04:33.820 --> 11:04:34.820
SHIT!

11:04:34.820 --> 11:04:35.820
And it's all done!

11:04:35.820 --> 11:04:37.820
I'm trolling fast!

11:04:38.820 --> 11:04:39.820
Unbelievable run!

11:04:39.820 --> 11:04:43.820
Winning 4-0 victory over Classic!

11:04:43.820 --> 11:04:44.820
And they did it again!

11:04:44.820 --> 11:04:46.820
In the backfire!

11:04:46.820 --> 11:04:48.820
It's all good!

11:04:51.820 --> 11:04:53.820
Give it up for your end!

11:05:01.820 --> 11:05:29.220
Aptn

11:05:29.220 --> 11:05:36.220
That's what I'm talking about.

11:06:59.220 --> 11:07:07.620
Dogwood, dogwood, dogwood, dogwood, dogwood
