That's when I started to play serious fighting games 03:36.060 --> 03:38.060 So that's how long you've been around 03:38.180 --> 03:42.820 For this and now from 2009 all the way to now Evo coming to Nice 03:42.820 --> 03:47.100 we had the first edition last year that was absolutely incredible plenty of moments and 03:47.740 --> 03:51.340 Plenty of crazy moments. So before we even talk about anything.

Yeah that's what we like about fighting games right it's all 09:21.700 --> 09:25.500 about enjoying the games of course we are for our local hero but we are 09:25.500 --> 09:31.660 here to watch the game and Mr. Crimson himself was crowned with the comeback of the year award 09:31.660 --> 09:36.220 and we were with him when he got the awards and he got a couple of awards for us. 09:36.220 --> 09:37.660 Stay tuned to what Crimson has to say. 09:55.500 --> 09:57.300 with the French audience. 09:57.300 --> 10:01.300 So it's my award, but for me it's also the award of our community. 10:01.300 --> 10:02.300 So thank you all. 10:02.300 --> 10:05.900 Clearly, there were people who were wondering how it was going to happen. 10:05.900 --> 10:09.900 Because we saw that, as the EES is huge, the Japanese are huge, 10:09.900 --> 10:11.300 are we going to be able to hold the line? 10:11.300 --> 10:14.300 And honestly, it clearly did, in any case, 10:14.300 --> 10:15.300 the returns we have. 10:15.300 --> 10:17.900 We spent our time congratulating ourselves on going to France. 10:17.900 --> 10:18.900 Oh yeah, I didn't do anything! 10:18.900 --> 10:20.900 Well, I just played. 10:20.900 --> 10:23.100 But it's a rule to see that it was a good success, 10:23.100 --> 10:24.300 a lot of players. 10:24.300 --> 10:27.300 who have been seduced by the game of combat through this event. 10:27.300 --> 10:29.500 And I know that the future is radio for the Evo France. 10:29.500 --> 10:31.780 So what I expect from the Evo France of 2026 10:31.780 --> 10:37.700 to keep this ambition as being not a French grand tour 10:37.700 --> 10:40.660 or a European grand tour, but a world grand tour, 10:40.660 --> 10:43.700 continue to expand, I know that it will be even bigger 10:43.700 --> 10:48.140 and I thank the organizers because holding events of this size 10:48.140 --> 10:49.140 it should not be easy. 10:49.140 --> 10:50.340 So thank you all. 10:50.340 --> 10:56.020 We love Mr. Crimson, of course, he said it is the world for the community, but he said 10:56.020 --> 10:58.540 it's right, a lot of expectations last year. 10:58.540 --> 11:00.660 We weren't quite sure what to get. 11:00.660 --> 11:03.060 How did you like the whole event last year of all? 11:03.060 --> 11:04.300 How did you get out of this event? 11:04.300 --> 11:08.820 I really enjoyed it because it's been 25 years I'm participating to French tournaments 11:08.820 --> 11:14.380 and I see it's huge and I see a lot of people are coming as a spectator, not 11:14.380 --> 11:19.100 only player, but I see a lot of people that don't usually come to local, don't 11:19.100 --> 11:24.100 I don't even know sometimes it exists, but because it's evil, they're like, oh, I have to go to Evo France. 11:24.100 --> 11:31.100 So I think it attracted a lot of new players and spectators to just enjoy fighting games a whole weekend. 11:31.100 --> 11:36.100 Yes, and that's the weekend, and that's what it is going to be this year as well. 11:36.100 --> 11:42.100 It's time to talk about a couple of news, the new stuff that we are bringing to you for Evo France. 11:42.100 --> 11:46.100 2026, of course, we got a couple of news to share before we share the game. 11:46.100 --> 11:50.620 lineup first thing to talk about of course is the price pool and the price 11:50.620 --> 11:56.820 pool is getting a hefty bump compared to last year. This year's price pool has a 11:56.820 --> 12:04.200 full bonus of 225,000 euros and it is split just like last year between the 12:04.200 --> 12:08.260 first game all the way to the last to the most entrance get the most money. 12:08.260 --> 12:12.740 Yeah we have one more game so it's nice that we have a little more cash 12:12.740 --> 12:18.180 price for the players too. And of course this is extra price that will go on top of the prizes that 12:18.180 --> 12:23.460 come from games respective pro tours because a couple games will come from bonuses from their 12:23.460 --> 12:29.380 editors.

Just again you've just seen it last 12:29.380 --> 12:35.860 year we had seven games this year we are buffing it to eight games which means that this year 12:35.860 --> 12:40.660 structure of the tournament will have two top eights on Friday then three top eights on 12:40.660 --> 12:44.680 Saturday and then Sunday of course with three top eight so two games will 12:44.680 --> 12:49.020 conclude on Friday as well usually it's one this time we get some more so more 12:49.020 --> 12:53.620 games to enjoy of course at EVO always good news and last but not least I'm 12:53.620 --> 12:58.780 talking about the signups of course as the signups are about to open for EVO 12:58.780 --> 13:02.620 France and as you can see we'll have three types of registration the early 13:02.620 --> 13:06.780 registration that will be available one month from today this is going to be 13:06.780 --> 13:10.220 the lowest price you can get to sign up to EVO than the regular which is 13:10.220 --> 13:16.780 for about an extra month and then the late registration please sign up. Before that there's no more sign-up. 13:16.780 --> 13:22.220 No more sign-up and you really have to register because a lot of players and I know a lot of players 13:22.220 --> 13:29.900 and well-known players who didn't register and then asked oh can I register can I again try to 13:29.900 --> 13:36.460 participate even if it's closed and you're like no you have to register like everybody you know 13:36.460 --> 13:40.460 So, I know it's quite early to end the sign-ups. 13:40.460 --> 13:44.620 You know, the tournament is mid-October or something like that, L'Issir was like that. 13:44.620 --> 13:49.180 And then players in September, they think that they still can register, 13:49.180 --> 13:51.420 even at the end of the month of September. 13:51.420 --> 13:53.820 But no, it's much sooner that it's closed. 13:53.820 --> 14:00.460 So people have to be aware of that and think that it's not possible to have a late, late, late registration. 14:00.460 --> 14:02.540 Yes, so please listen, you're watching right now. 14:02.540 --> 14:05.660 There is a good chance that you know right now that you will be part of IvoFriends. 14:05.660 --> 14:09.580 So just sign up now. That is the cheapest you can get anyway for evil friends 14:09.580 --> 14:14.460 So make sure you join us this year in this but with the news done 14:14.460 --> 14:18.620 It is time to talk about the full game reveal 14:18.620 --> 14:24.340 We have eight games to announce for the main lineup at evil friends this year and this time 14:24.860 --> 14:29.020 Usually we start with the games that we expect the games which which have been there forever the games 14:29.020 --> 14:33.500 We know are gonna be part of that while we do already know that they're going to be in but yeah 14:33.500 --> 14:35.300 Yeah, starting with Stormwind Pin Games. 14:35.300 --> 14:38.020 Exactly! Instead of starting with the ones you know, 14:38.020 --> 14:40.100 we're starting with the ones you don't necessarily know, 14:40.100 --> 14:46.340 because this first game to announce is going to be a first appearance on Evo ever 14:46.340 --> 14:48.340 for a brand new game. 14:48.340 --> 14:52.580 So let's take a look at what the first game of Evo France 2026 is going to be. 14:54.140 --> 14:56.620 One versus one, then two versus two. 14:57.340 --> 14:58.380 But why stop there? 14:58.380 --> 15:01.060 Tag games have helped define Evo champions, 15:01.060 --> 15:04.060 especially when they feature familiar characters. 15:04.060 --> 15:09.060 And we're better than Evil Friends to discover this new game's first-ever Evo Champion. 15:09.060 --> 15:11.060 It's time to create a new legacy. 15:11.060 --> 15:14.060 Nobody has mastered this game yet. 15:14.060 --> 15:16.060 Nobody has built the meta. 15:18.060 --> 15:21.060 But in October, we will fracture Team of Four 15:21.060 --> 15:28.060 and come be part of the first-ever appearance of Marvel token fighting souls at Evil Friends 2026. 15:28.060 --> 15:31.060 History always starts somewhere. 15:31.060 --> 15:33.060 Will it start with you? 15:33.060 --> 15:35.060 Sign up now. 15:41.060 --> 15:47.060 There we go. Marvel token will be part of the main lineup just a couple months after the game released. 15:47.060 --> 15:49.060 So very quick time to learn the game. 15:49.060 --> 15:53.060 Yes. I don't know if I will be able to play that game. 15:53.060 --> 15:58.700 You know, tag team usually is quite crazy for me, it's really hard to adapt, but now it's 15:58.700 --> 15:59.700 4v4. 15:59.700 --> 16:04.980 I don't know how people will manage you, be able to master 4 characters for the same team 16:04.980 --> 16:07.900 and be able to manage the other teams like that. 16:07.900 --> 16:11.660 Yep, and especially in such a short time it's going to be a good way to pretty much 16:11.660 --> 16:15.780 showcase what you can do in a brand new game, a brand new direction as well. 16:15.780 --> 16:20.060 You can expect the regular tag game experts to be part of it, we've seen some of them 16:20.060 --> 16:21.060 playing the betas. 16:21.060 --> 16:23.900 We know who the players are going to be. 16:23.900 --> 16:25.900 Absolutely. All I want to see is white black in France 16:25.900 --> 16:28.140 because I know he's ridiculous at all of the tag games 16:28.140 --> 16:31.780 and that's what I want to see on Marvel token first game 16:31.780 --> 16:33.460 for Evo France, Marvel token. 16:33.460 --> 16:35.300 Let's move to the second game. 16:35.300 --> 16:39.700 And this time, of course, I'm not going to make you wait any longer. 16:39.700 --> 16:41.780 This is, of course, a well-expected game 16:41.780 --> 16:44.500 and one we expect to see crazy moments happen. 16:44.500 --> 16:46.500 Let's see game number two. 16:46.500 --> 17:02.500 One stage. A roaring crowd. The French hero back to the corner. And a couple seconds later, 17:02.500 --> 17:06.500 the evil comeback of the year sent an entire venue into madness. 17:16.500 --> 17:17.500 Oh, I could chip out! 17:17.500 --> 17:18.500 He doesn't want to go on fireball! 17:18.500 --> 17:19.500 Oh, what was that?! 17:19.500 --> 17:21.500 The DP keeps coming out! 17:21.500 --> 17:22.500 Oh, he's going to land! 17:22.500 --> 17:24.500 He takes the back of the person! 17:24.500 --> 17:26.500 No one ever wants this! 17:26.500 --> 17:27.500 One more game! 17:27.500 --> 17:28.500 Oh, my god! 17:28.500 --> 17:30.500 I can't believe it! 17:30.500 --> 17:31.500 I can't believe it! 17:31.500 --> 17:33.500 This is just so-so! 17:33.500 --> 17:36.500 Whether it's Mr. Crimson's incredible run, 17:36.500 --> 17:38.500 Lichard's first EVO win, 17:38.500 --> 17:40.500 Tugras' exciting appearance on top 8s, 17:40.500 --> 17:42.500 or a simple, what the hell? 17:42.500 --> 17:44.500 Oh, what the hell is this?! 17:44.500 --> 17:49.500 One game creating memories of evoFriends, it definitely is Street Fighter 6. 17:49.500 --> 17:56.500 Last year, 1664 entries made evoFriends the biggest Street Fighter 6 event in Europe's history. 17:56.500 --> 18:01.500 This year, evoJapan is already shattering the record for all-time biggest fighting game tournament. 18:01.500 --> 18:05.500 Can we keep breaking records? Can we do it again in Nice? 18:05.500 --> 18:11.500 Street Fighter 6 will be part of the lineup at evoFriends 2026, and only one question remains. 18:11.500 --> 18:15.700 Are you going to be in the room when history unfolds? Sign up now! 18:21.900 --> 18:27.860 Can we do it again in this listen I've got to say this is a high bar because last year's top a can we beat this? 18:27.860 --> 18:30.840 I think we can yeah because you know 18:31.220 --> 18:37.180 The comeback of crimson I think attracted a lot of players to come and especially you have some super stars like 18:37.180 --> 18:43.420 Michael B. Jordan and Geems who shared the comeback and we had a tournament of 18:43.420 --> 18:49.420 streamers with Mr. Envy, Joel, Saco playing Street Fighter 6 with well-known 18:49.420 --> 18:54.300 famous French players like Crimson, Kilsou and Overs and I think a lot of 18:54.300 --> 18:59.500 Calvul want to play Street Fighter 6 so I think we can meet the record and have 18:59.500 --> 19:03.700 at least 2,000 people. I hope so. 19:03.700 --> 19:07.300 Please join us of course, you know, we had the biggest one last year. 19:07.300 --> 19:10.700 Ivo Japan is about, is being the biggest one as well in history. 19:10.700 --> 19:12.500 So can we do it of course in France? 19:12.500 --> 19:16.200 We can expect it to be just as exciting because this crowd has been ridiculous. 19:16.200 --> 19:22.400 Of course, Street Fall 6 will be part of Ivo France 2026 and joining Ivo France as well. 19:22.400 --> 19:27.400 The third game is going to be another game that you know another game that you expect. 19:27.500 --> 19:28.300 Let's take a look. 19:28.300 --> 19:37.300 7. For some players, it might be how many days they spend training each week. 19:37.300 --> 19:42.300 But after Evil Friends last year, Arslan Ash has a better answer. That's how many 19:42.300 --> 19:44.300 evil trophies are in his cabinet. 19:44.300 --> 19:59.780 We all remember Giandini's exciting run, with an entire venue streaming his run. 19:59.780 --> 20:05.780 Or King Regigno showing that he niece, it doesn't matter where you're from, if you're 20:05.780 --> 20:09.780 on that stage, the crowd has your back. 20:09.780 --> 20:16.780 And Fergus, with one of the best European performances ever seen at Evo and Tekken. 20:16.780 --> 20:22.780 And the biggest Tekken tournament ever held on European soil, 20:22.780 --> 20:25.780 Aslan Ash did what no one else could. 20:25.780 --> 20:27.780 And this year, we're running it back. 20:27.780 --> 20:29.780 Will history repeat itself? 20:29.780 --> 20:33.780 Or will the most decorated Evo player in Tekken history meet his match? 20:33.780 --> 20:37.780 Tekken 8 will be at Evo France 2026. 20:37.780 --> 20:39.780 Will you be there to witness history? 20:42.780 --> 20:49.780 Crazy history in running champions, but the new generation that you are kind of kind of training, are they taking it this year? 20:49.780 --> 20:55.780 Yeah, I think this year we can have a lot of surprises, especially with the season three. It's changing the game for the better. 20:55.780 --> 20:59.780 So I think a lot of players will be satisfied and come to Evo. 20:59.780 --> 21:04.200 And I think the new generation can really surprise us like a King Ray Junior 21:04.200 --> 21:11.580 I think he made a very good matches last year and we have a Neyar from Team Vitality now 21:11.580 --> 21:14.460 He's training a lot to get better this year 21:14.500 --> 21:21.760 Yeah, I think we have a lot of new players in Tekken 8 that made challenge Arslaner to not have an 8 21:22.420 --> 21:23.700 Evil Cup 21:23.700 --> 21:26.580 It keeps winning but you know what you've been working hard on this right? 21:26.580 --> 21:29.580 I've seen you really nurturing the next generation with Neyya. 21:29.580 --> 21:31.580 Yeah, I'm too old now. 21:31.580 --> 21:36.580 I'm trying to coach and to manage some young players 21:36.580 --> 21:39.580 and I think we got some very talented players. 21:39.580 --> 21:43.580 You know, it's crazy, sometimes people think that they're too old for fighting games 21:43.580 --> 21:45.580 or they're too new. 21:45.580 --> 21:48.580 It's one of the other, they think it's too late to come to fighting games 21:48.580 --> 21:50.580 but I want to prove them that they're wrong 21:50.580 --> 21:59.420 And with the new generation already getting good at EVO, like Naya got 17 at her first 21:59.420 --> 22:01.620 EVO at 16 years old, it's crazy. 22:01.620 --> 22:03.540 So I'm like, you can do it. 22:03.540 --> 22:07.260 You should register and try to see yourself how far you can go. 22:07.260 --> 22:10.620 Yeah, it's all about how far you can go, exactly. 22:10.620 --> 22:11.620 There is a start. 22:11.620 --> 22:12.620 We all start somewhere, right? 22:12.620 --> 22:13.620 You don't have to win your first tournament. 22:13.620 --> 22:16.100 It's a journey and it just takes a moment. 22:16.100 --> 22:22.500 We hope to see plenty of new faces this year joining us for Tekken 8 at Evo France 2026. 22:22.500 --> 22:26.700 Three games announced and it's time to talk about our fourth game. 22:26.700 --> 22:29.660 Another game that got a huge update and huge news. 22:29.660 --> 22:32.700 And who knows, maybe another new champion this year. 22:32.700 --> 22:35.780 Let's take a look at the fourth game for Evo France. 22:35.780 --> 22:39.700 May we have a dream! 22:39.700 --> 22:40.700 Flavos! 22:40.700 --> 22:41.700 Flavos! 22:41.700 --> 22:46.060 When supporters encourage their players in their own language, the crowd becomes something 22:46.060 --> 22:53.060 European players told the show at Evo France, the noise was unlike anything else that weekend. 22:53.060 --> 23:01.060 Last year, the biggest Gentiges Tri-Tournament in European history delivered iconic moments 23:01.060 --> 23:10.060 from the wide bubbles from the Spanish crowd cheering for Andros, the least French fans cheering for Patatru, 23:10.060 --> 23:17.180 Ending in an all-European Grand Final and the first ever European Champion Tiger Pop. 23:17.180 --> 23:19.980 And now, Strike 2.0 is released. 23:19.980 --> 23:23.380 New mechanics, new characters, new energy. 23:23.380 --> 23:27.820 Does that mean a new champion or will someone be extending their legacy? 23:27.820 --> 23:31.980 Join the next chapter of Guilty Gear Striker, Ego France, in October 2026. 23:40.060 --> 23:44.060 Ginty Gilscribe comes back to the big stage at Evo France last year. 23:44.060 --> 23:48.380 Tiger Pop was crowned for their very first Evo championship. 23:48.380 --> 23:51.020 And this year, of course, we want more new champions. 23:51.020 --> 23:53.660 We've seen Patatou being very close last year, right? 23:53.660 --> 23:54.780 Yeah, it was really close. 23:54.780 --> 23:58.060 And I was here in the crowd and I was cheering for him. 23:58.060 --> 24:00.460 And I think his story is really, really good 24:00.460 --> 24:04.780 because you know, Flash know organizer of fighting games in France too. 24:04.780 --> 24:08.700 And he managed to have some players to travel to Kumball 24:08.700 --> 24:15.900 worker for the first time and Pata Shu there made top 8. So I feel like it's nice to see him being so 24:15.900 --> 24:22.780 confident to be in top 8 and most famous tournaments in the world, Evo. I think it 24:23.660 --> 24:30.220 makes him have a lot of confidence and I think that now he may be able to win this. 24:30.220 --> 24:33.260 Yep, it's something we can expect but of course after the Arc World Finals, 24:33.260 --> 24:37.500 which also all of the regions are fighting for that top one spot. 24:37.500 --> 24:39.740 Definitely looking forward to see this one and tell you what, 24:39.740 --> 24:42.220 Strive was incredibly electric, I think. 24:42.220 --> 24:45.260 The combination of France, Spain, 24:45.260 --> 24:47.980 and pretty much the rest of Europe gathering behind Tiger Pop 24:47.980 --> 24:49.580 was absolutely incredible. 24:49.580 --> 24:52.860 I'm looking forward to see the same scenes for Strive this year. 24:52.860 --> 24:54.060 With Strive 2, of course, 24:54.060 --> 24:56.540 new version, the game has changed a lot for the best, 24:56.540 --> 24:58.060 the same way taken in. 24:58.060 --> 25:00.220 So looking forward to see the new stuff, 25:00.220 --> 25:02.300 but we are at four games out of eight, 25:02.300 --> 25:08.300 so half of the games have been revealed now and it's time to move with another game that will 25:08.300 --> 25:13.820 make its very first appearance at Evo France this year. It was not at Evo France last year. 25:13.820 --> 25:18.380 It's a very recent game and it's a game where friends could do well because we're a local guy. 25:18.380 --> 25:20.700 It was quite good at this. Stay with us in the fifth game. 25:23.660 --> 25:29.020 Fighting games are traditionally played in one versus one. One player, one character, 25:29.020 --> 25:34.380 one shot. But what if we want more? This year, one game is living through its very first 25:34.380 --> 25:39.580 competitive season and France did not wait for anyone. From the very first tournaments, 25:39.580 --> 25:45.500 the French community was already in the lab, in the brackets, in the top games. But the world caught 25:45.500 --> 25:51.100 up fast. At the first global event of the year, America made its statements. Sonic Fox and Inzem 25:51.100 --> 25:55.740 made their case as the most dangerous duo in the game. All the way from Japan, the two 25:55.740 --> 26:01.160 Two in twin players Haru and Toshi have been quietly dismantling every bracket they enter. 26:01.160 --> 26:05.440 Yet at 2XKO's first official major event a new champion emerged. 26:05.440 --> 26:12.100 The rivalries are set, the stakes are real, but before any of that, before the game you 26:12.100 --> 26:15.780 had launched, there was a side tournament here in this very venue. 26:15.780 --> 26:20.880 And the trophy stayed home as Wawa lifted the first 2XKO trophy ever handed out at 26:20.880 --> 26:21.880 Evo France. 26:21.880 --> 26:24.020 Home crowd, home glory. 26:24.020 --> 26:27.020 And now, a big trophy is up for grabs. 26:27.020 --> 26:29.020 Can you stay home one more time? 26:29.020 --> 26:35.020 Enter the brackets, alone or with your friends, for the 2XKO tournament at Evil Friends 2026. 26:39.020 --> 26:44.020 2XKO is our fifth game at Evil Friends, 26:44.020 --> 26:47.020 and this one, I think, has a lot of expectations around 26:47.020 --> 26:49.020 because the French community has been going really hard 26:49.020 --> 26:52.020 and our best player leaves 10 minutes away from the venue. 26:52.020 --> 26:56.260 Yeah, I think the French community in TXCO is way insane. 26:56.260 --> 26:59.860 They are going to every local, every offline session. 26:59.860 --> 27:02.820 They are really grinding all the time. 27:02.820 --> 27:05.420 And I think that it's crazy. 27:05.420 --> 27:09.460 We have Wawa, Yasha, and Wade, the three top players 27:09.460 --> 27:13.060 in Dragon Ball Fighters, and going so well in TXCO now. 27:13.060 --> 27:16.620 But I'm also what we share for the twins. 27:16.620 --> 27:19.860 I think it's crazy to have a game that allows you to do 27:19.860 --> 27:20.820 two versus two. 27:20.820 --> 27:23.100 but it can be two players versus two players, 27:23.100 --> 27:24.940 or one player versus one player. 27:24.940 --> 27:26.780 But here, having the choice to have it 27:26.780 --> 27:30.820 and being a way to be competitive at that, it's crazy. 27:30.820 --> 27:33.940 So I think having the twins winning a fighting game 27:33.940 --> 27:36.980 competition like that would be unique. 27:36.980 --> 27:39.180 Anyway, I think I'm sharing from them too, 27:39.180 --> 27:40.540 but also with French, of course. 27:40.540 --> 27:42.860 Yeah, that would be incredible, right? 27:42.860 --> 27:44.740 What are the odds that twins and them being 27:44.740 --> 27:45.980 some of the very best in the game? 27:45.980 --> 27:47.700 There's an amazing team that's mentioned as well, 27:47.700 --> 27:50.420 Sonic Fox and Inzen, that have been destroying brackets 27:50.420 --> 27:53.500 left, right, and center, and that's all we want to see. 27:53.500 --> 27:55.820 Make sure you join us for 2XKR this year. 27:55.820 --> 27:57.820 You can enter alone or with the friends 27:57.820 --> 27:59.900 to the big tournament at Evil Friends. 27:59.900 --> 28:01.980 We're looking forward to see the hike that 28:01.980 --> 28:04.300 will be created at Evil Friends. 28:04.300 --> 28:06.100 Five games announced. 28:06.100 --> 28:08.140 Time to move for game number six. 28:08.140 --> 28:10.820 And this time it is a returning game, 28:10.820 --> 28:14.820 a game that stayed home last year as Europe. 28:14.820 --> 28:15.860 Claim the title. 28:15.860 --> 28:17.180 Will it happen again this year? 28:17.180 --> 28:18.820 Let's take a look at game number six. 28:20.420 --> 28:25.420 Japan, USA, Spain. 28:26.420 --> 28:32.420 As the EVO trophy keeps traveling from region to region, the competition gets fiercer every year. 28:33.420 --> 28:38.420 New names, new regions, constantly writing themselves into the history of this game. 28:38.420 --> 28:40.420 The world is open now. 28:41.420 --> 28:44.420 But when the players make history, the crowd makes even more noise. 28:44.420 --> 28:48.420 From the Lorraine supporters showing up in full force 28:48.420 --> 28:53.420 to players absolutely making the best of their momentum on stage 28:53.420 --> 28:58.420 Evil France established itself as the best to be when it comes from electric propellants 28:58.420 --> 29:02.420 and now it is time to bring it back 29:02.420 --> 29:07.420 Grand Rue Fantasy Growth Describes is back at Evil France for the second year in a row 29:07.420 --> 29:10.420 Where will the next chapter take us? 29:10.420 --> 29:13.420 Sign up and be there to witness the next step. 29:21.420 --> 29:24.420 Grand Blue Fantasy vs Rising is back. 29:24.420 --> 29:30.420 Usagi took the trophy last year but it was so incredibly electric for a game that I personally don't watch that much 29:30.420 --> 29:33.420 but you couldn't not watch it last year, it was so high. 29:33.420 --> 29:37.420 It's crazy to see the people, their energy and I think in Europe it's very special. 29:37.420 --> 29:44.020 I think it's the best community for Grand Blu Fantasy Verstrazim in terms of level 2, 29:44.020 --> 29:46.020 but also in terms of craziness. 29:46.020 --> 29:50.420 Yeah, you've seen that, but Rekid Mundo was going crazy on the stage, the Lohan army 29:50.420 --> 29:52.420 was going absolutely crazy for the entire game. 29:52.420 --> 29:56.820 Ah, you know the Lohan stance, even the producer, Pukwara-san, does that. 29:56.820 --> 30:01.020 And he looks like a shy person, but he's doing that with the community. 30:01.020 --> 30:04.500 So I think the community is like, okay, we have to do it too, because the producer 30:04.500 --> 30:05.500 is doing it. 30:05.500 --> 30:11.580 So I think it's very nice to see how close the community is to the producer and the inside 30:11.580 --> 30:13.380 game team in general. 30:13.380 --> 30:17.220 And I think this year is going to be better for the game because you know, going to fantasy 30:17.220 --> 30:23.100 versus is fighting game, but there's also the RPG and it came on Steam this year. 30:23.100 --> 30:29.100 And they have an extension to the RPG coming on consoles also this summer. 30:29.100 --> 30:32.340 So I think you can attract more people to play the fighting game actually. 30:32.340 --> 30:39.340 Now, hopefully all we want is more people to play with or against fighting games are here for the love and we would love to see you all at Evo France. 30:39.340 --> 30:40.340 We want you to win! 30:40.340 --> 30:44.340 Yes, he is still as well. Another guy from the south of France. He's not too far from Nice as well. 30:44.340 --> 30:47.340 Yes, he's doing close. I must say, I think. 30:47.340 --> 30:52.340 Yes, I must say, but two hours away from Nice, so we expect to see the stories doing well this year. 30:52.340 --> 30:59.340 Six games announced and we still have two games. Two announced, two games. One will be returning, one is the new one. 30:59.340 --> 31:05.980 Before we finish this, let's move on to the next game, making another appearance at EVO France. 31:05.980 --> 31:11.180 It was there last year, it was an exciting top 8 with a lot of new and a lot of expected as well. 31:11.180 --> 31:12.580 Let's take a look at game number 7. 31:15.180 --> 31:18.140 Experiencing moments at EVO is always special. 31:18.620 --> 31:24.380 From historical firsts to emotional moments, every year delivers unforgettable memories. 31:25.180 --> 31:29.180 And when a new game gets its first time at EVO, it's all fireworks. 31:29.340 --> 31:53.420 At the moment of the year, Goichi vs KOG in Las Vegas, at the home artist's tears when 31:53.420 --> 31:56.620 and he secured his spot for World Finals at Evo France last year? 31:58.420 --> 32:04.120 An entire country celebrating as Fraser raised the Morgan flag in an Evo Top 8 for the first time in history. 32:05.920 --> 32:09.920 After an incredible watch last year, culminating in another title for Schauhei, 32:10.420 --> 32:13.420 Fayer Fury's City of the Wolves is back on the Evo France lineup. 32:18.420 --> 32:22.420 With the new season shaking everything up, new strategies will be witnessed. 32:22.420 --> 32:27.420 New stories are waiting to be told, new firsts are waiting to be written. 32:27.420 --> 32:31.420 Side up now, the next champion could be you. 32:38.420 --> 32:43.420 Fatal Fury City of the Wolves joins us once again at Evo France last year's Top 8. 32:43.420 --> 32:46.420 It was an exciting one with plenty of different contra representations. 32:46.420 --> 32:50.620 representations. We've seen Morroco Fresno right going for the first time on Top 8. It 32:50.620 --> 32:56.420 was really happy for me for all of the community around Xiao Hai winning. For a long time, Fatal 32:56.420 --> 33:00.780 Finance has been about Xiao Hai winning, but lately, Xiao Hai did not win the World Championship. 33:00.780 --> 33:06.020 Xiao Hai did not win a DreamHack either, so it's new season and everything to play 33:06.020 --> 33:11.020 for. Yeah, they had an update really recently on Fatal Finance changing the balance 33:11.020 --> 33:15.180 patch. They changed the menu design, they changed many things. You have a new character 33:15.180 --> 33:20.180 or so, Krauser, and you're going to have Okutomoken in the game. 33:20.180 --> 33:21.680 You're going to have Kenshiro. 33:21.680 --> 33:26.080 It's crazy to have guest characters like that, so I really can't wait to see all the roster 33:26.080 --> 33:29.200 that is going to be in the next season. 33:29.200 --> 33:35.460 And yeah, I think that having 2D specialists like Shauhai, Goichi doing so well in the 33:35.460 --> 33:39.560 game, I really can't wait to see how they're going to focus on Pater Fury again this 33:39.560 --> 33:40.560 year. 33:40.560 --> 33:42.060 Yeah, that's all I want to see in the game. 33:42.060 --> 33:46.300 are going hard on this game and you know that Chauha is going to come back with a mission 33:46.300 --> 33:52.540 trying to win this one.

The duo's game, but you can play it solo if you want 51:21.100 --> 51:25.900 We've seen a bit of everything, but there really is only ever and I really want to hammer this point home 51:25.900 --> 51:30.100 There is only ever one first Evo Vegas that a game will have you know 51:30.100 --> 51:36.460 We've been talking about the kind of allure that comes with it that that real that the weight that carries 51:36.580 --> 51:39.700 You know this game may have multiple Evo champs over the year 51:39.700 --> 51:43.980 But it's only ever gonna have one first Evo champ and we're a few hours away from finding out who that's gonna be 51:43.980 --> 51:48.660 Well, it's funny you should mention it because when it comes to top eight predictions and who you think's gonna win 51:48.660 --> 51:51.940 We have our top eight predictions presented by PlayStation Tournaments 51:52.540 --> 51:57.400 You are able to vote in chat who you think is going to win this tournament 51:57.400 --> 52:01.420 You have been a firm believer in bleed.

Sorry, I got lost by a 53:06.220 --> 53:08.900 trade of thought, right? I'm not gonna throw you off me. I'm not gonna throw you off 53:08.900 --> 53:12.340 me. Yeah, sorry, my bad. But yeah, Supernoon, multi-time second place already at multiple 53:12.340 --> 53:15.100 evo, whether it was Evo, Nice, even though it wasn't in the official lineup, it was 53:15.100 --> 53:16.300 still there, thanks to Riot 53:16.300 --> 53:17.240 bringing it there for the booth. 53:17.240 --> 53:19.700 Second place at Evo, Japan. 53:19.700 --> 53:22.440 I mean, will Supernum be able to get that grand finals again, 53:22.440 --> 53:24.600 or will this be finally the time to get that first place? 53:24.600 --> 53:26.300 I thought that would be a pretty perfect story, 53:26.300 --> 53:28.500 being able to finally conquer that second place curse. 53:28.500 --> 53:29.840 If you're gonna have a second place curse, 53:29.840 --> 53:30.840 it may as well be Evo, 53:30.840 --> 53:32.780 but if you're able to get that number one, 53:32.780 --> 53:34.680 it's there's nothing left to conquer, 53:34.680 --> 53:36.480 and there's no bigger stage left 53:36.480 --> 53:38.240 to take that first place with. 53:38.240 --> 53:39.880 Well, our first match is, as I said before, 53:39.880 --> 53:41.980 gonna be Fox and Inzen versus Toshin Hirose. 53:41.980 --> 53:43.720 Let's check out their paths, 53:43.720 --> 53:49.860 the victory path, presented by White Claw search, sorry, Sonic and Inzem, pretty much most of their games were on stream. 53:49.860 --> 53:52.220 So if you've been following over the weekend, you would have seen most of these anyway. 53:52.220 --> 53:54.900 But, I mean, look at this, 2-0's the whole way through. 53:54.900 --> 53:58.120 Winner's side top 8 without dropping a single game along the way. 53:58.120 --> 54:00.660 And that is the dominance we've come to expect from this pair. 54:00.660 --> 54:04.700 You know, combo breaker champions, second place at Red Bull, knockout the duo's invitation, 54:04.700 --> 54:07.460 and with the many more that will come with it, no doubt. 54:07.460 --> 54:10.260 But, I mean, favorites going into this, I think it's safe to say. 54:10.260 --> 54:13.100 They were not number one seed, but they are definitely still looking good. 54:13.100 --> 54:20.320 Now it's the twins, the dynamic duo from Japan, Haru and Toshi, and again, another undefeated way. 54:20.320 --> 54:23.960 So regardless, someone's about to lose their first matches in the entire tournament. 54:23.960 --> 54:28.760 But what's been fantastic about the twins is not only their incredible synergy, it's their game sense. 54:28.760 --> 54:32.700 They're bringing in a new team, it's going to be the Thresh and the Jinx with the two times assists, 54:32.700 --> 54:37.300 so they really have had that real kind of sight for it, you know? 54:37.300 --> 54:41.400 They know what they're looking for, and they've got that idea, and it's working out for them. 54:41.400 --> 54:43.740 I think the Thresh has been a real kind of star performer. 54:43.740 --> 54:45.640 That is a story going into this top eight, right? 54:45.640 --> 54:49.480 Two new characters have entered the game in Thresh and Senna, 54:49.480 --> 54:51.540 and we've definitely seen more Thresh than Senna. 54:51.540 --> 54:54.480 But have we seen as much Thresh as we were perhaps expecting to? 54:54.480 --> 54:57.080 I think we saw a fair amount during the pool play, 54:57.080 --> 54:59.180 but as we got later and later into the bracket, 54:59.180 --> 55:01.900 many players seemed to stick with their tried and true. 55:01.900 --> 55:04.440 It's a weird conversation to have 55:04.440 --> 55:05.740 when a new character launches 55:05.740 --> 55:09.040 and they are immediately strong like Thresh is. 55:09.040 --> 55:11.000 You, as a competitor, have to make a choice. 55:11.000 --> 55:13.600 Do I essentially go in with this new character 55:13.600 --> 55:16.640 and replace one of the characters I've been playing for months, 55:16.640 --> 55:18.520 sometimes since launch? 55:18.520 --> 55:20.600 Or do you stick with what you know? 55:20.600 --> 55:22.640 In a game like this, that is not an easy decision, 55:22.640 --> 55:24.400 but I think many players have stuck to their guns, 55:24.400 --> 55:25.640 and quite rightly so. 55:25.640 --> 55:27.240 The results have reflected that. 55:27.240 --> 55:29.680 I think talking about Haru and Toshi, 55:29.680 --> 55:31.760 one extra element that I've always loved 55:31.760 --> 55:33.120 about watching them play 55:33.120 --> 55:35.320 is that they're quite content 55:35.320 --> 55:37.480 to just kind of do their own thing. 55:37.480 --> 55:40.000 I know when we're talking about fuses in 2xKO, 55:40.000 --> 55:42.200 for those that don't know, there are many different fuses 55:42.200 --> 55:44.640 you can select that give you slightly different gameplay 55:44.640 --> 55:46.960 areas that you can excel at. 55:46.960 --> 55:50.160 Freestyle, the ability to do two handshake tags 55:50.160 --> 55:53.600 has been for a very long time, the number one fuse 55:53.600 --> 55:57.400 that are good, at least 95% of competitors are going with. 55:57.400 --> 55:59.600 They tend to be a little bit more on the side 55:59.600 --> 56:01.920 of two exorcists when they think the opportunity calls 56:01.920 --> 56:04.040 for it, which is nowhere near as common. 56:04.040 --> 56:05.960 I mean, they have run their freestyle as well, 56:05.960 --> 56:07.960 but the important thing is they're not just going 56:07.960 --> 56:09.960 to go with what everyone else says is good, right? 56:09.960 --> 56:18.960 They're going to have that faith. They're going to have that belief that they're going to pick whatever is necessary, but one good thing I think that Thresh is going to be bringing to the dynamic of the top eight is that Thresh does very well against Teemo. 56:18.960 --> 56:25.960 And if we look at who's in this top eight, right, Supernoon still playing Teemo, Globo obviously a real premier Teemo player. 56:25.960 --> 56:31.960 Even this first match, Inzem, I feel like they are arguably some of the best Teemo's out there, you know. 56:31.960 --> 56:37.620 I think the fact that Thresh has that option is kind of just mow the lawn, get rid of all those mushrooms, 56:37.620 --> 56:42.620 completely dominate that neutral, and clear the board in a way means that that is something you have to factor in. 56:42.620 --> 56:46.960 However, we've been saying about the lack of, potential lack of Thresh compared to how much we thought we'd see. 56:46.960 --> 56:49.120 There's a chance you might see two Threshes in this match. 56:49.120 --> 56:52.120 That thing, because it's not just Thresh, it's Thresh and Jinx. 56:52.120 --> 56:59.620 I don't think Timo really likes fighting that team too much, but one thing about Fox and Inzem is that 56:59.620 --> 57:04.020 When facing fresh they've kind of been talking the well, okay 57:04.020 --> 57:06.660 Maybe it's not the best to pick Timo into that 57:06.660 --> 57:12.940 But if we can play fresh better than the opponents can that's one way of defeating that character 57:13.140 --> 57:17.740 But I do wonder how the matchup of confidence is going to work here because so I can in XM 57:17.940 --> 57:21.020 They have been undefeated along this way I've had the twins 57:21.020 --> 57:26.620 But so I can in XM no stranger to the Evo stage especially Sonic Fox the multi multi multi time Evo champ 57:26.620 --> 57:29.800 But on the side of the twins they qualified for 57:30.540 --> 57:38.300 Winners top 8 with 2-0 over both poker and Hikari who are also in this top 8 that 2-0 over Hikari, especially 57:38.680 --> 57:40.600 That was that was a result 57:40.600 --> 57:45.000 You know Hikari went into this top 8 as the number one the tournament I should say as the number one seed 57:45.000 --> 57:48.960 Evo Japan champion really has kind of just been just just 57:49.840 --> 57:53.840 Blazing the trail with that Ari Akali, but they came here prepared 57:53.840 --> 57:56.800 They did their homework and the result is Winner's side top eight 57:56.800 --> 58:02.600 But I've got to say it's hard to know who to root for in this in this match because my heart always wants the twins to go as far as possible 58:02.600 --> 58:04.680 Right, you know that they're so emotional 58:04.680 --> 58:10.160 You know they really do share those successes and the failures sometimes together, but Sonic and in them 58:10.160 --> 58:12.160 You know just the the the Brainiacs 58:12.680 --> 58:18.100 There's a reason my personal prediction for this tournament is Sonic Fox and in them and the fundamentally 58:18.320 --> 58:20.320 This is not a chance as well 58:20.320 --> 58:26.820 Well, let's not forget, but we have to remember all the time this is sonic fox at evo, but sonic fox ain't alone 58:26.820 --> 58:32.320 You've got the absolute brain the execution the game sense of in ZEM 58:32.920 --> 58:37.040 They just work perfectly together, but they're gonna be in theory 58:37.040 --> 58:42.480 You know, we can't read players minds, but I would like to think they are going to be not as 58:43.080 --> 58:45.200 Nervous I think when you look at Haru and Toshi 58:45.200 --> 58:49.120 you can see the emotion just expressed in their faces. 58:49.120 --> 58:50.440 When they get stressed, you see it. 58:50.440 --> 58:51.980 When they get nervous, you see it. 58:51.980 --> 58:54.640 When they celebrate, you see it even more. 58:54.640 --> 58:57.480 This stage, it's very new to them. 58:57.480 --> 59:00.680 But if they can take this win over Fox and NZM, 59:00.680 --> 59:02.000 can they get comforts? 59:02.000 --> 59:04.560 Yeah, imagine just the confidence 59:04.560 --> 59:05.880 that is gonna solidify, you know? 59:05.880 --> 59:09.000 In front of this live crowd we've got here in Las Vegas, 59:09.000 --> 59:12.040 in front of the world watching at home, I mean, 59:12.040 --> 59:13.600 and that'll guarantee you win as finalists right now. 59:13.600 --> 59:18.600 What is the world watching at home, this beautiful crowd we have early morning? 59:18.600 --> 59:21.600 I appreciate you all day long, that's how you're doing. 59:21.600 --> 59:25.600 I know you're a bunch of gamers, but thanks for waking up on time. 59:25.600 --> 59:32.600 Getting our button checked out of the way, and then our first matchup in this 2xKO Top 8 is about to begin. 59:32.600 --> 59:39.600 I am so excited for this. How? Perfect! It's duo versus duo to start the show. 59:39.600 --> 59:43.600 I'm so happy this is happening, right? I know it's the conversation that's happened over time. 59:43.600 --> 59:46.600 The handshake's coming through the button check is done. Okay. 59:46.600 --> 59:52.600 Are we ready for game one of 2xKO Las Vegas? Make some noise! 59:52.600 --> 59:55.600 Good morning indeed. All right. 59:55.600 --> 59:59.600 Ah, so is the prediction correct? Have we seen the double-threshold? 59:59.600 --> 01:00:04.600 Okay, so we were talking to Sonic and NZM before the tournament yesterday. 01:00:04.600 --> 01:00:10.280 today and in general yesterday and asking how the character choice is you'd be expecting to see 01:00:10.280 --> 01:00:15.160 and even though Inzem is that kind of real premier Timo player we are saying like what are you going 01:00:15.160 --> 01:00:19.640 to do in the face of this the thresh onslaught we could definitely see and they're like are we 01:00:19.640 --> 01:00:24.680 just going to play thresh ourselves yep just mirror match simple not even a matter if you can't 01:00:24.680 --> 01:00:28.200 beat them join them if you think you can beat them join them and do it better 01:00:28.200 --> 01:00:34.440 a simple, but a cool character. Thresh is a unique addition to the game. He's definitely 01:00:34.440 --> 01:00:38.400 doing some stuff we haven't seen before. He really dominates that range, and we will 01:00:38.400 --> 01:00:42.120 no doubt be seeing all of this in the matches to come, but he's got that presence. He's 01:00:42.120 --> 01:00:46.040 got the potential advantage. Just forward dash being a forward teleport. Instead, it's 01:00:46.040 --> 01:00:50.200 unique to him. Definitely gives you a lot of opportunities, but what will we see as 01:00:50.200 --> 01:00:53.760 we're going into this game, number one? So it's going to be Hara and Toshion, player 01:00:53.760 --> 01:00:58.040 two side, that two assist. The jinx in the back as well. Sonic Inzem, player one 01:00:58.040 --> 01:01:05.000 of the Arya front Sonic Fox as day one Arya specialist. However, the new blood, Thresh, 01:01:05.000 --> 01:01:09.640 one of the characters that some say can fight Arya quite effectively. The rage, the verticality 01:01:09.640 --> 01:01:14.760 of those buttons, the fact that he himself can intercept those air responses and then 01:01:14.760 --> 01:01:19.160 have to get to the back end with one to assist. But they get two and the two X's have 01:01:19.160 --> 01:01:23.880 come through and third blood, scored by the twins. So I've already seen the two 01:01:23.880 --> 01:01:28.420 2x assist, making massive work here. That quick side-switch on the teleport, even though 01:01:28.420 --> 01:01:32.140 they're stuck for ages, that pressure assist, it can lock down for so long, and now it needs 01:01:32.140 --> 01:01:35.220 to be used, but I'll leave you to get too comfortable with it. 01:01:35.220 --> 01:01:41.140 Oh wow! Wait, does that take the catch behind? I'm sure that was the... we've seen that 01:01:41.140 --> 01:01:45.420 quite a few times, being able to catch the situation there. There's that tag launch 01:01:45.420 --> 01:01:50.820 in the corner, limit strike into the knockdown. Ooh! Yeah, going for an instant, wake 01:01:50.820 --> 01:01:54.420 to attack in that corner, that is good info to send that first round. 01:01:54.420 --> 01:01:58.820 Wobbly to go for it, Wobbly has a great ready, so it's risky to have a thought to take out this, 01:01:58.820 --> 01:02:01.820 the neutral presence, oh the pick up, what the fuck! 01:02:01.820 --> 01:02:06.820 The neutral presence you just combined with the thrashing speed of the team that, 01:02:06.820 --> 01:02:09.820 you can't go in and do some crazy stuff, but you are very content to sit there in the neutral, 01:02:09.820 --> 01:02:13.820 oh, it's not yet a good fight to confirm, a bit of a funny angle going on there, 01:02:13.820 --> 01:02:17.820 tried to pick up from that jinx assist as well, but ever so slugging too far away. 01:02:17.820 --> 01:02:21.280 There are so many small interactions you can see with these two teams, 01:02:21.280 --> 01:02:24.160 question is, when it's time to mix, who's gonna get opened up first? 01:02:24.160 --> 01:02:27.160 That is confirmed with R.E. in the corner, that's one, 01:02:27.160 --> 01:02:30.860 and that's the tag launch, you are absolutely dead, and that will be 01:02:30.860 --> 01:02:33.400 Tari down, and Hitoshi remains. 01:02:33.400 --> 01:02:37.660 Best case ever as well, great for limit strikes, you're gonna build those resources with a massive heavy... 01:02:37.660 --> 01:02:38.900 Ooh, okay. 01:02:38.900 --> 01:02:42.360 One thing to point out here is that Thresh has an unawakened stash, 01:02:42.360 --> 01:02:46.860 he has the ability to go through opponents, and even force a bit of invincibility. 01:02:47.820 --> 01:02:49.820 I don't like it! 01:02:49.820 --> 01:02:52.820 They're going to come up and you've got all the meat in the wild, right? 01:02:52.820 --> 01:02:54.820 Yeah, bring it in, Thresh. 01:02:54.820 --> 01:02:58.820 Yeah, keep it nice and simple. Just go with the cage. Just stuck it there with me! 01:02:58.820 --> 01:03:00.820 And that's the first round. 01:03:00.820 --> 01:03:02.820 Okay, going the way of Fox and Inzem. 01:03:02.820 --> 01:03:06.820 I like how this match of just, okay, just match the Thresh with the Thresh. 01:03:06.820 --> 01:03:08.820 Really working out. 01:03:08.820 --> 01:03:13.820 Oh, massive parry, though. It's going to give you equal access to the tools at hand, right? 01:03:13.820 --> 01:03:14.820 Oh, Q! 01:03:14.820 --> 01:03:15.820 Okay! 01:03:15.820 --> 01:03:23.820 No, but this is the final. That is unfortunate. So much damage left on the table, not only that, an opportunity to take the break away from the team of Fox and Inzem. 01:03:24.820 --> 01:03:28.820 Oh wow, is that counter health on the projectile? Instant break though, and here comes Jinx. 01:03:28.820 --> 01:03:30.820 So she now, the active man. 01:03:31.820 --> 01:03:36.820 This is Jinx though. We're getting combos from those air throws all day, every day, and more damage than you might expect. 01:03:36.820 --> 01:03:42.820 That was quite a jump. Yes it was. Fireworks there. Aswerys don't scale. 01:03:42.820 --> 01:03:46.340 That's probably going to end up with the corner at the very least, where Ari really wants to put you. 01:03:46.340 --> 01:03:49.060 There's kind of a knock-down situation.

Take a little bit of time, even if I don't change anything at all, 01:04:45.700 --> 01:04:48.700 just take a little bit of a moment and have that communication time. 01:04:48.700 --> 01:04:52.700 That's the benefit of duo, right? You kind of have that built-in coaching. 01:04:52.700 --> 01:04:55.700 You're allowed to talk to your duo partner, and we can see both teams doing it, right? 01:04:55.700 --> 01:04:59.700 This is genuinely, we see the discussion all the time online around the game in general, 01:04:59.700 --> 01:05:04.700 is that how viable is duo play, and we see examples of its viability with the highest level pairings, 01:05:04.700 --> 01:05:07.700 such as this, but it's hard. It's really hard to play at this level. 01:05:07.700 --> 01:05:10.700 It does come with those benefits. Kind of having that on-demand coaching, 01:05:10.700 --> 01:05:12.900 coaching between each other. 01:05:12.900 --> 01:05:14.940 It's fantastic, especially on this kind of stage, right? 01:05:14.940 --> 01:05:16.820 There's potentially a lot of pressure here, 01:05:16.820 --> 01:05:18.860 a lot of prize money up for grabs as well. 01:05:18.860 --> 01:05:20.940 You can say that again, shots to right, 01:05:20.940 --> 01:05:23.860 and overall, but you won that time. 01:05:23.860 --> 01:05:25.060 Take that moment, here we go. 01:05:25.060 --> 01:05:27.100 Game number two, is there a refresh? 01:05:27.100 --> 01:05:28.700 You know, Fox Dinsen, they're locked in, 01:05:28.700 --> 01:05:30.100 looking for that winner's final. 01:05:30.100 --> 01:05:32.460 If they want it, will they get it? 01:05:32.460 --> 01:05:33.580 Let's go, game two. 01:05:35.340 --> 01:05:36.900 All right, starting off rather strong. 01:05:36.900 --> 01:05:38.500 A little bit of that screen presence. 01:05:38.500 --> 01:05:44.220 Asserted by the Twins and that minion refuses to leave and it's fresh for Drone the Corner. 01:05:44.220 --> 01:05:48.220 This guy hits like a truck if he throws you. 01:05:48.220 --> 01:05:50.220 Even with that assist, but why not? 01:05:50.220 --> 01:05:52.220 Let's just add a little bit more. 01:05:52.220 --> 01:05:56.460 It's off, but that's a lot of damage Drone's throwing that does give a commanding lead. 01:05:56.460 --> 01:05:59.060 But just to get you to sound the way, it's fresh for it! 01:05:59.060 --> 01:06:01.460 That's a hurt bit!

Take that time in between. 01:06:56.460 --> 01:06:58.260 Who knows what they'll be communicating though. 01:06:58.460 --> 01:07:00.160 We're definitely seeing a lot more air throws. 01:07:00.160 --> 01:07:04.240 Okay, best case scenario again, look at the stride, 01:07:04.240 --> 01:07:06.240 the pressure's on the screen, oh, wake up attack! 01:07:06.240 --> 01:07:10.240 But it didn't matter, the pressure's still there, awesome! 01:07:10.240 --> 01:07:12.740 Wake up attack was no good there, unfortunately, 01:07:12.740 --> 01:07:15.240 and Ari already bleeding pretty severely. 01:07:15.240 --> 01:07:18.240 Alright, it's an opportunity, lovely parry there. 01:07:18.240 --> 01:07:20.240 Creating some real estate. 01:07:20.240 --> 01:07:22.240 The tag, creates that pressure, 01:07:22.240 --> 01:07:24.240 I mean, the lantern's still in place, 01:07:24.240 --> 01:07:26.240 should you bring the crash back out in there? 01:07:26.240 --> 01:07:29.240 That is going to be, oh, the tag into the lantern, 01:07:29.240 --> 01:07:33.240 trying to be a little bit more cheap, a little bit more unpredictable, that's too bad, however. 01:07:33.240 --> 01:07:34.840 That's a max rage catch. 01:07:34.840 --> 01:07:37.040 Oh, no, no, close enough for the combo extension. 01:07:37.040 --> 01:07:40.540 Side clock specific puny's opportunities, yes, a massive heavy, but couldn't commit. 01:07:40.540 --> 01:07:41.640 Double commit too. 01:07:41.640 --> 01:07:44.640 If you over commit, trying to hit the character that isn't in play, you're risking. 01:07:44.640 --> 01:07:47.540 Opened up by that point and getting blown up this game. 01:07:47.540 --> 01:07:51.140 These teams, their damage output is absolutely ridiculous. 01:07:51.140 --> 01:07:51.640 Right. 01:07:51.640 --> 01:07:53.040 Yep, I love the retreating guard. 01:07:53.040 --> 01:07:54.140 Take that! 01:07:54.140 --> 01:07:58.440 Ah, the retreating guard to avoid the minigun, but fresh was just on the frow. 01:07:59.240 --> 01:08:01.240 One, two, three! 01:08:02.240 --> 01:08:03.240 Okay, fantastic. 01:08:03.240 --> 01:08:07.240 What a chase down from Haru. He just smelled blood and was going for it. 01:08:07.240 --> 01:08:09.240 Ooh, okay. 01:08:09.240 --> 01:08:11.240 This is a lot of work for Sonic Fox. 01:08:11.240 --> 01:08:13.240 You don't even have Fury available. 01:08:13.240 --> 01:08:16.240 You might have time to buy it and build it up for the reaction! 01:08:16.240 --> 01:08:21.240 The beam! It's not gonna kill yet, but my lord, are you tensed? 01:08:21.240 --> 01:08:22.240 Oh! 01:08:22.240 --> 01:08:25.240 And jump back! Air to air! Social media reactions! 01:08:25.240 --> 01:08:28.920 All right, and we're saying before, very emotional players, the twins. 01:08:28.920 --> 01:08:31.560 Have you looked at some of the intermix games, they're normally quite calm, 01:08:31.560 --> 01:08:34.480 they're normally kind of having what seems to be quite chill conversations, 01:08:34.480 --> 01:08:38.360 very analytical, whereas the twins, I mean, we see it in their play, right? 01:08:38.360 --> 01:08:41.680 You see the disappointment when they lose and the excitement when they win. 01:08:41.680 --> 01:08:44.560 And that's what you need feed off of that, especially on this stage, 01:08:44.560 --> 01:08:47.520 and especially in this kind of environment. 01:08:47.520 --> 01:08:50.120 But we are going to a game three, one more match, 01:08:50.120 --> 01:08:52.920 we'll decide who's going to go to that first winners final slot. 01:08:52.920 --> 01:08:57.400 I tell you what, if you're a possible new viewer, maybe you haven't seen much 2xKO, 01:08:57.400 --> 01:09:01.120 these two matches are a perfect demonstration of how back and forth this game can be. 01:09:01.120 --> 01:09:07.240 It's fast, it's aggressive, but also very, very momentum focused. 01:09:07.240 --> 01:09:10.520 I mean, just look at the matches over the weekend, how many 2-0s that we see in pools, 01:09:10.520 --> 01:09:13.640 and we were just running through matches, 01:09:13.640 --> 01:09:17.160 whereas as soon as it gets a bit close, as soon as things get a bit more to the wall, 01:09:17.160 --> 01:09:19.600 we'll start going the distance, but for good reason. 01:09:19.600 --> 01:09:29.200 It's a pivotal moment. The difference between getting sent to losers now or after winners 01:09:29.200 --> 01:09:35.800 finals, if that even happens, is huge. That's all like this. But we're jumping in now. It's 01:09:35.800 --> 01:09:42.240 going to be actually in-depth in front. That's an easy confirm there. Question is, what are 01:09:42.240 --> 01:09:45.120 we going to get from it? You know, it's going to be damage. One thing about fresh, 01:09:45.120 --> 01:09:52.620 He does it like a truck, but that does result in quite a lot of meter being built, and so much extra little damage being dealt with and cleaned there from coming back! 01:09:52.620 --> 01:10:01.320 I will say that was quite a late break from Haru there, it's not like most of the damage has been done, I mean a lot of those massive extended combos, 01:10:01.320 --> 01:10:07.620 they've been quite focused, maybe Haru's going to have a way to situation them together, but what matters, the Thresh is gone, but now Toshi left. 01:10:07.620 --> 01:10:10.420 I'm saying before, but Jax, he's not a terrible combat character, right? 01:10:10.420 --> 01:10:13.700 Being able to get a lot of like solo stuff off of full grabs and everything, 01:10:13.700 --> 01:10:17.300 like, like, wow, he's a mutual presence, but won't matter anyway right now. 01:10:17.300 --> 01:10:21.220 Oh, this is terrible, Mustard. This is a horrible, horrible situation. 01:10:21.220 --> 01:10:25.620 There goes the super. This is important change, so I'm going to get that second match. 01:10:25.620 --> 01:10:27.060 Oh, mate, what's this? 01:10:27.060 --> 01:10:29.700 Wait, it's almost, we're going for damage? We're going for damage here? 01:10:31.780 --> 01:10:34.980 Get low. We still have a... Hang on a minute! 01:10:34.980 --> 01:10:37.220 Hang on a minute! Is this going to do enough? 01:10:37.220 --> 01:10:40.460 No way! Say it, it's so... 01:10:40.460 --> 01:10:42.860 Oh! There's no... 01:10:42.860 --> 01:10:44.500 ...mix-up required! 01:10:44.500 --> 01:10:47.220 I think I'll just kill you instead. 01:10:47.220 --> 01:10:48.740 Oh, that's the benefit of the crash damage. 01:10:48.740 --> 01:10:51.940 It'll be a built-in loads of break, but that's a situation just because you can't break. 01:10:51.940 --> 01:10:53.580 Doesn't mean you're going to, right? 01:10:53.580 --> 01:10:56.060 Well, break doesn't do that much of a life deficit. 01:10:56.060 --> 01:10:59.460 Poor happy birthday forced the instant break down from the twins. 01:10:59.460 --> 01:11:01.300 It's gonna be scary from this point on. 01:11:01.300 --> 01:11:03.100 You do not want to get opened up. 01:11:03.100 --> 01:11:04.700 The sandwich makes it really difficult. 01:11:04.700 --> 01:11:07.020 Oh, the defense no-to-shi gets out. 01:11:07.020 --> 01:11:08.240 OH! I SAID HIT! 01:11:08.240 --> 01:11:10.600 Yo, I got you, bro! You want to come out on the Thresh? 01:11:10.600 --> 01:11:15.740 It comes to Jinx, but that massive air dash from Sonic, Fox, okay, we're going back to the left corner! 01:11:15.740 --> 01:11:16.860 I mean, probably... 01:11:16.860 --> 01:11:18.360 Wait, no, there's Thresh. 01:11:18.360 --> 01:11:20.200 The Thresh is out. I can't use him yet. 01:11:20.200 --> 01:11:22.540 There's no system anymore, so we're going to have to do this one here. 01:11:22.540 --> 01:11:24.040 Yeah, look, here he comes. Even though it is... 01:11:24.040 --> 01:11:25.340 Oh, wait, I can't spot him enough. 01:11:25.340 --> 01:11:26.680 There's both of them, though. 01:11:26.680 --> 01:11:28.380 Wait, is this going to be a repeat? 01:11:28.380 --> 01:11:30.180 Have we seen this one already? 01:11:31.440 --> 01:11:32.220 Oh, it is. 01:11:32.220 --> 01:11:32.980 That is enough. 01:11:32.980 --> 01:11:34.580 Good bite, Jinx! 01:11:34.580 --> 01:11:36.380 So much damage from the table. 01:11:36.380 --> 01:11:40.120 Okay, the benefit is that it built a lot of breaks, so at least Thresh is going to have access to this fury, 01:11:40.120 --> 01:11:44.340 but what a lot of work to do with a massive jumping edge, that's one way of starting it. 01:11:44.340 --> 01:11:45.940 At least he was able to pop the fury. 01:11:45.940 --> 01:11:48.120 The much safer avenue! Bates out the ante! 01:11:48.120 --> 01:11:49.980 Yeah, the air back dash! 01:11:49.980 --> 01:11:51.040 And then we've punished! 01:11:51.040 --> 01:11:52.960 This is fury and Thresh! 01:11:52.960 --> 01:11:55.320 My word!

A good amount of health. 01:12:30.140 --> 01:12:30.640 Twice, maybe. 01:12:30.640 --> 01:12:37.200 Maybe Katarina has the late fury, wants a risk, and it turns out it was a risk not worth making! 01:12:37.200 --> 01:12:42.800 But at that point from the time, they are feeling the hype there, just buzzing out of their seats right now. 01:12:42.800 --> 01:12:47.840 That huge opportunity with that fury being effectively wasted on the side of Interlincen! 01:12:48.960 --> 01:12:50.400 Okay, this is how you start it. 01:12:50.960 --> 01:12:51.920 What's it gonna be? 01:12:51.920 --> 01:12:53.680 I've seen some pretty crazy setups. 01:12:54.880 --> 01:12:55.920 Yeah, okay. 01:12:55.920 --> 01:12:57.440 Oh, we've seen this stuff a lot. 01:12:57.440 --> 01:12:58.720 Oh, where you going? 01:12:58.720 --> 01:13:04.840 Chases down the back roll put you straight back in that position. No limit strike here. We're just taking a combo 01:13:05.140 --> 01:13:06.840 teleport 01:13:06.840 --> 01:13:10.040 Hang on. What's this? How much damage is this gonna do? 01:13:12.280 --> 01:13:17.800 That's so much damage. We've got so much health now. Back off. We're winning in the neutral at the moment. 01:13:18.440 --> 01:13:21.520 Oh, the air throw again? Toshi does not miss those! 01:13:21.520 --> 01:13:27.520 Diggins, if you get combo rewards like this, that air throw is always going to be on your mind. 01:13:27.520 --> 01:13:29.520 And they've lived out in the air. 01:13:29.520 --> 01:13:32.520 Hides the screen. Consumers hide. What fresh is going to put out there? 01:13:32.520 --> 01:13:35.520 I get it. These are two characters who want to spend a lot of time in the air. 01:13:35.520 --> 01:13:37.520 Whether it's the air dash, the fiery fresh, whatever. 01:13:37.520 --> 01:13:41.520 There's an opportunity now. It is still in the ease for the twins, but... 01:13:41.520 --> 01:13:43.520 Wait, how is that? 01:13:43.520 --> 01:13:46.520 Yeah, okay. We're getting more sauce. 01:13:46.520 --> 01:13:47.520 We're getting more sauce. 01:13:47.520 --> 01:13:51.780 more source, the lantern, the late break, they know we can't risk this killing a character. 01:13:51.780 --> 01:13:53.780 We need the access to this. 01:13:53.780 --> 01:13:55.780 Oh no, I was in quite a bit of a book of verve. 01:13:55.780 --> 01:13:56.780 Oh no, the point blank! 01:13:56.780 --> 01:13:58.780 S1, I don't know what hurry was trying to add. 01:13:58.780 --> 01:14:01.280 But it does give you an opportunity to stress. 01:14:01.280 --> 01:14:03.280 You took so much damage right from the start of the round. 01:14:03.280 --> 01:14:05.280 It's now in the driver's seat firmly. 01:14:05.280 --> 01:14:06.280 Spending the level 3. 01:14:06.280 --> 01:14:07.280 Okay, here it is. 01:14:07.280 --> 01:14:10.280 I mean, surely there is the world that this kills. 01:14:10.280 --> 01:14:13.280 And the level that you've got in your life, it's always hard to tell. 01:14:13.280 --> 01:14:14.280 It's the rush. 01:14:14.280 --> 01:14:16.280 Yeah, you're like barely though. 01:14:16.280 --> 01:14:23.760 I mean, yeah, so even if you're going to avoid what that was, all right, it's all going to be down to Toshi, that Fury is almost available. 01:14:23.760 --> 01:14:28.360 There is, Thresh may be dead, but you still have access to Super Assist for one far apart. 01:14:28.360 --> 01:14:33.000 One of them just got caught, however, the Whiff 2H means you still don't have to send Fury. 01:14:33.000 --> 01:14:35.280 Alright, another land to pass, that'll be following. 01:14:35.280 --> 01:14:38.720 Oh wait, you can't break this! You can't, Fury! You can't break this, it's a Super! 01:14:40.000 --> 01:14:43.840 Okay, you want your least match to actually get a bit of an easy-in-the-clip, 01:14:43.840 --> 01:14:46.840 And the Son of Cossack ends up clutch the finish! 01:14:46.840 --> 01:14:48.840 And they deny the comeback. 01:14:48.840 --> 01:14:51.840 I mean, the comeback, it couldn't have happened. 01:14:51.840 --> 01:14:55.840 It was definitely possible, but a tool of order to ask indeed. 01:14:55.840 --> 01:14:59.840 I mean, we've been saying it just how emotional the twins are. 01:14:59.840 --> 01:15:02.840 It means when they win, the excitement is there. 01:15:02.840 --> 01:15:03.840 You know, they're buzzing out of their seats, 01:15:03.840 --> 01:15:05.840 popping up at the losses. 01:15:05.840 --> 01:15:07.840 You can almost feel it yourself. 01:15:07.840 --> 01:15:09.840 Just a heart-breaking nature of it. 01:15:09.840 --> 01:15:10.840 But hey, that was women's bracket. 01:15:10.840 --> 01:15:11.840 They are still in this tournament. 01:15:11.840 --> 01:15:15.640 It's the emotional side of playing in duos, especially with those close to you. 01:15:15.640 --> 01:15:17.340 Everything is shared. 01:15:17.340 --> 01:15:21.640 The victory is shared, but unfortunately that naturally means the defeat has to be too. 01:15:21.640 --> 01:15:23.740 However, there is that silver lining. 01:15:23.740 --> 01:15:25.540 This is Winner's Bracket. 01:15:25.540 --> 01:15:27.840 Haru and Toshi are still alive here. 01:15:27.840 --> 01:15:31.240 They've just lost that comfort of Winner's side. 01:15:31.240 --> 01:15:35.040 But hey, we've got to say as well, you know, these are two duos who are out. 01:15:35.040 --> 01:15:38.140 Basically, if you're talking, who are the best duos in the world for this game? 01:15:38.140 --> 01:15:39.440 It's these two duos. 01:15:39.440 --> 01:15:43.700 And you know that title of Best Duo is something that they're both going to want. 01:15:43.700 --> 01:15:44.940 They are going to strive for it. 01:15:44.940 --> 01:15:48.440 And hey, whoever wins this tournament, I think it's pretty hard to deny 01:15:48.440 --> 01:15:51.000 that they're going to be the best duos in the game. 01:15:51.000 --> 01:15:53.840 Let's take a look at these replays presented by PlayStation 1. 01:15:53.840 --> 01:15:55.400 Some of the key moments I think right here. 01:15:55.400 --> 01:15:59.040 Yeah, this is that just gigantic damage combo bar. 01:15:59.440 --> 01:16:01.100 And that's the scary thing about Ari's direction. 01:16:01.100 --> 01:16:04.500 On top of everything else, the damage they have access to. 01:16:04.700 --> 01:16:05.540 Here we go. 01:16:05.540 --> 01:16:08.600 Just talking about any possible mixups you'd be seeing afterwards. 01:16:08.600 --> 01:16:11.120 So you forget, wait, the Thresh could be tagged, didn't you? 01:16:11.120 --> 01:16:12.320 They're probably just dead. 01:16:13.600 --> 01:16:16.120 But that's, that's, again, it's one of the things that makes Thresh so scary. 01:16:16.120 --> 01:16:18.240 This is that non-stop access to that damage. 01:16:18.240 --> 01:16:20.280 This was that attempted fury from Sonic Fox. 01:16:20.280 --> 01:16:22.720 This was, I mean, it was a very fox-brake to go for. 01:16:23.240 --> 01:16:24.640 Come on, you know, you can just win this round. 01:16:24.640 --> 01:16:27.480 I see it's over, but it's been worked out with the Dreadful Touching. 01:16:28.000 --> 01:16:30.560 But, I mean, again, you can see the excitement in there. 01:16:30.560 --> 01:16:32.640 This would have been the end of it, where, yeah, 01:16:32.640 --> 01:16:34.760 going to the Super to deny the access to the fury, 01:16:34.760 --> 01:16:36.560 put them in an absolutely miserable situation. 01:16:36.560 --> 01:16:39.000 You do manage to get the fury activated there. 01:16:39.000 --> 01:16:42.760 Again, it's so hard to find that comeback in the face of players with this caliber. 01:16:42.760 --> 01:16:45.680 It's hard to finally come back when you know the breaker is available, 01:16:45.680 --> 01:16:51.760 and your opponent is constantly looking for those quick confirms into Super, just to shut it down. 01:16:51.760 --> 01:16:54.000 And, I mean, just perfectly executed. 01:16:54.000 --> 01:16:59.000 With that in mind, Sonic Fox and Inzem will now be moving on into winners' finals. 01:16:59.000 --> 01:17:01.240 We'll be seeing them later. Minimum top three finish. 01:17:01.240 --> 01:17:03.760 Our next match, however. 01:17:03.760 --> 01:17:10.560 Supernoon versus Bleed. This one's gonna be great. And that does mean on the back of that loss Toshin 01:17:10.560 --> 01:17:16.080 Hiro will be waiting for the winner of Globo and Hikari. So we actually could potentially see the run-back of the twins versus Hikari 01:17:16.080 --> 01:17:18.080 Which is definitely one of the more 01:17:18.820 --> 01:17:24.400 Electrifying matches from yesterday kind of getting towards the top 8 or top 24 in general even. Oh, that we will see 01:17:24.800 --> 01:17:28.960 Yeah, Noka versus Poker, Globo versus Hikari. Man, we've got some good matches ahead of us. 01:17:28.960 --> 01:17:33.440 And just in case those may not know, Noka versus Poker is actually a run-back from yesterday 01:17:33.440 --> 01:17:36.100 Okay, Foka was able to defeat Moka. 01:17:36.100 --> 01:17:38.940 That was done on the French portion of the stream. 01:17:38.940 --> 01:17:40.820 There were so many different streams happening this weekend. 01:17:40.820 --> 01:17:42.340 Shout out to the different territories of Friar. 01:17:42.340 --> 01:17:47.020 It's actually, there were multiple streams deep within the trenches of the pool play 01:17:47.020 --> 01:17:49.980 where you could watch in different languages, support different players. 01:17:49.980 --> 01:17:53.220 If there were major matches you wanted to see, pretty much everything was done to 01:17:53.220 --> 01:17:55.500 ensure that those matches could be watched. 01:17:55.500 --> 01:17:58.060 Even down to top 24, we had two stages. 01:17:58.060 --> 01:18:02.420 Okay, so let's take a look at the victory path for our next match as it's going 01:18:02.420 --> 01:18:10.020 to beat Supernoon versus Bleed and again, yeah, another undefeated run. 2-0 over Globo 01:18:10.020 --> 01:18:14.920 who's also in this top 8. 2-0 over Wade over the EU duo. We're talking top level duos. 01:18:14.920 --> 01:18:19.620 The best duo in Europe, Udu and True Devon, shiny Espeon and the matches in balls as well. 01:18:19.620 --> 01:18:24.900 But this is Supernoon kind of continuing that dominance. Just run into XK. Especially 01:18:24.900 --> 01:18:28.200 when it comes to EVO tournaments. Another what it is about EVOs in general that Supernoon 01:18:28.200 --> 01:18:33.200 is just switched on for. You know, already a multi-time second place where there was Evo 01:18:33.200 --> 01:18:35.680 Nis, you know, Fortunis KO, I tell you why. 01:18:35.680 --> 01:18:36.680 Japan. 01:18:36.680 --> 01:18:41.560 Possible nostalgia in growing up in that environment. You know, Riot put out some pre-Evo content 01:18:41.560 --> 01:18:46.600 and Supernoon referred to, oh yeah, I used to go to Evo when I was a kid. Yeah. So here 01:18:46.600 --> 01:18:52.240 we are now. Fully grown as now someone who isn't quite fully grown yet, Bleed. The 01:18:52.240 --> 01:18:56.200 young man himself. Hey, but already so much experience. You know, if you told me 01:18:56.200 --> 01:18:59.760 Bleed was already competing for years. I don't believe you. 01:18:59.760 --> 01:19:04.680 You know, undefeated in pools 2-0 over players like Zayn over to kill stage 2-1 01:19:04.680 --> 01:19:08.140 versus fellow teammate Jakey the Snaggy who is another player definitely want to 01:19:08.140 --> 01:19:11.620 watch if you talk about upcoming 2x carry players absolutely but it's gonna 01:19:11.620 --> 01:19:14.840 be Bleed who took the win in that one and has earned that spot in this 01:19:14.840 --> 01:19:19.920 winners top 8 and what I mean what a match we have looking ahead of us 01:19:19.920 --> 01:19:22.840 right here whether it's Bleed. I mean this is the run back to Frosty 01:19:22.840 --> 01:19:27.720 to the grand finals, right? This is, uh, from grand finals there to top eight winners at 01:19:27.720 --> 01:19:32.560 Evo, but unfortunately only one of them can advance through. But I would argue, and this 01:19:32.560 --> 01:19:39.760 may be a silly thing to say, no one is hungrier for this, I think, than SuperMune. I think 01:19:39.760 --> 01:19:44.760 just wanting to get that grand finals, you know, we have these, uh, Evo fantasy brackets 01:19:44.760 --> 01:19:47.880 and predictions presented by A, T and C, but here we go. 01:19:47.880 --> 01:19:50.280 The lead is the favourite according to the people. 01:19:50.280 --> 01:19:55.880 Okay, yes, I mean it's relatively close, 42% for Supernoon, 57% for the lead. 01:19:55.880 --> 01:19:59.880 Obviously, you know, these predictions presented by AT&T, it is going to be... 01:19:59.880 --> 01:20:01.880 I mean, I would consider that somewhat even. 01:20:01.880 --> 01:20:03.880 It's definitely not enough of like... 01:20:03.880 --> 01:20:05.880 I wouldn't call it a landslide, either way. 01:20:05.880 --> 01:20:06.880 That's half from the lead. 01:20:06.880 --> 01:20:07.880 Yeah, for sure. 01:20:07.880 --> 01:20:10.880 But it also is a representative for, I mean, just how this match could go, right? 01:20:10.880 --> 01:20:13.880 It's not to kind of be that middle man, 01:20:13.880 --> 01:20:15.880 but I could see this match going either way. 01:20:15.880 --> 01:20:19.480 You know, I feel like I've just, personally, I've had that confidence in Bleed. 01:20:19.480 --> 01:20:24.160 You know, Bleed has been doing so well, especially since the official release of this game, 01:20:24.160 --> 01:20:29.080 you know, winning Frosty Foustain, being so consistent in general in the online space. 01:20:29.080 --> 01:20:30.920 It's always grinding, it's always playing. 01:20:30.920 --> 01:20:32.760 It's for the Ivo Japan, right? 01:20:32.760 --> 01:20:37.520 Like, this player, whilst already being quite young, is no stranger to this high-level competition. 01:20:37.520 --> 01:20:40.480 Alright, so, here we go. 01:20:40.480 --> 01:20:43.440 We're going to find out who's going to be joining the duo of Fox and Inzan, 01:20:43.440 --> 01:20:46.040 and winners finals only one can do it. 01:20:47.520 --> 01:20:50.120 And we're going straight in there. 01:20:50.120 --> 01:20:51.720 Bleed securing first plus. 01:20:51.720 --> 01:20:55.520 This team, this tried tested team of allowing Echo. 01:20:55.520 --> 01:20:57.920 Oh my word, the pressure, the damage. 01:20:57.920 --> 01:20:59.600 The second you get put in that corner, 01:20:59.600 --> 01:21:01.440 waits for the break first before popping the technical. 01:21:01.440 --> 01:21:04.400 But it's also just true mastery of the team as well. 01:21:04.400 --> 01:21:05.600 There's a lot of the competitive players, 01:21:05.600 --> 01:21:06.440 the high level players, 01:21:06.440 --> 01:21:07.800 that kind of tried out a bunch of different characters 01:21:07.800 --> 01:21:08.640 and teams over the time. 01:21:08.640 --> 01:21:10.200 Whereas one of the last time we saw Bleed 01:21:10.200 --> 01:21:12.240 playing Avenin, it wasn't Echo alone. 01:21:12.240 --> 01:21:17.240 And every time we see desert, I'll be just optimization after optimization, touch the grassy player. 01:21:17.240 --> 01:21:22.240 See, dude, a beautiful change down on that roll as well. I'll hang them in there. 01:21:22.240 --> 01:21:31.240 Alright, we've got some Teemo in there. Now if you've seen Teemo corner combos, you know they both hit really hard, and it ain't over just because the combo is. 01:21:31.240 --> 01:21:35.240 It's either going to be combo from the Mushroom, or it's going to be test play from the Mushroom. 01:21:35.240 --> 01:21:41.240 Even there, Teemo. Yeah, you read the flow, you go for the pro tech, the Mushroom makes it plus for the Teemo player. 01:21:41.240 --> 01:21:44.520 It's kind of like that if you do endow the situation, but still... 01:21:44.520 --> 01:21:46.280 ...it's not here. 01:21:46.280 --> 01:21:47.840 Oh, chase down of the roll. 01:21:47.840 --> 01:21:50.640 You try to make some of these options on wake up, but again, this is just that. 01:21:50.640 --> 01:21:55.080 Teemo cornerflame, through and through, super noon, and brings an echo. 01:21:55.080 --> 01:21:55.920 Nothing echo. 01:21:55.920 --> 01:21:59.320 When that mushroom is on screen, the wake up roll is so risky, 01:21:59.320 --> 01:22:02.520 maybe players feel like it's unlikely to be threatened. 01:22:02.520 --> 01:22:04.520 Because the wake up roll punishes by ground, 01:22:04.520 --> 01:22:05.720 puts you into the mushroom, it's like, 01:22:05.720 --> 01:22:06.720 Really, they won't do that! 01:22:06.720 --> 01:22:07.920 I think it's a lot more simple. 01:22:07.920 --> 01:22:09.600 I think it's a case of... 01:22:09.600 --> 01:22:13.440 You are going to get put in a messed up situation, and no matter what option you choose, 01:22:13.440 --> 01:22:14.980 I mean, there's so many layers to it, right? 01:22:14.980 --> 01:22:16.660 If you block, it's massive advantage. 01:22:16.660 --> 01:22:17.460 If you even... 01:22:17.460 --> 01:22:19.120 Yeah, if you get thrown, it's going to combo. 01:22:19.120 --> 01:22:21.120 If you take the throw, it's going to be a plus for Teemo. 01:22:21.120 --> 01:22:25.440 Low Q, maybe you would not low Q, but one of the scariest situations to be put in the game in general, 01:22:25.440 --> 01:22:28.660 is that the two people from Mushrooms in front start bouncing off, 01:22:28.660 --> 01:22:32.460 or switch on, control those funky angles, already does have the badge ready to go, 01:22:32.460 --> 01:22:35.160 so there's poison mushrooms down here, all the scarier... 01:22:36.760 --> 01:22:37.600 Oh, that's still it! 01:22:37.600 --> 01:22:39.600 Wow! I can't believe it! 01:22:39.600 --> 01:22:40.600 We're fitting something, everything in! 01:22:40.600 --> 01:22:42.600 Bravano vs. Timewinder, who wins? 01:22:42.600 --> 01:22:44.600 He's pretty ahead of the grass for a little while. 01:22:44.600 --> 01:22:46.600 Shut down by Timewinder. 01:22:46.600 --> 01:22:48.600 Ooh, okay. 01:22:48.600 --> 01:22:50.600 Let's go for it. 01:22:50.600 --> 01:22:51.600 Okay, go for W. 01:22:51.600 --> 01:22:53.600 Ooh, we're so grabbed! 01:22:53.600 --> 01:22:55.600 Alright, allow me. 01:22:55.600 --> 01:22:57.600 It's your time to shine. 01:22:57.600 --> 01:22:58.600 Or maybe try and hit Ember. 01:22:58.600 --> 01:22:59.600 There it is. 01:22:59.600 --> 01:23:02.600 I think it was likely to jump, and then the second you see the break doesn't come out, 01:23:02.600 --> 01:23:05.600 you meet to the actual bottom pressure to continue the pressure. 01:23:05.600 --> 01:23:10.140 It's not uncommon that, you know, teams that kind of establish this strong zoning style, they will look to break early. 01:23:10.140 --> 01:23:15.680 They're gonna have the advantage in the neutral, they're setting up projectiles, they're kinda covering that screen in the kind of no-go zone. 01:23:15.680 --> 01:23:22.080 As soon as you get hit on them, they're gonna want to push you away and reset to it, so perhaps that's what pleases them to play anyway, but regardless, Superdome... 01:23:22.080 --> 01:23:27.340 Yeah, they're just covering the tracks right here, here comes the mushroom, or the tree in this case, where does every skin change it? 01:23:27.340 --> 01:23:29.980 Keep it mushrooms, and beehive sometimes, mate! 01:23:29.980 --> 01:23:30.980 That's cool. 01:23:30.980 --> 01:23:31.980 Ah, he's back. 01:23:31.980 --> 01:23:37.980 All of the monsters in play, however, at the risk of getting punished herself. 01:23:37.980 --> 01:23:40.980 Now, so she's full with Super Noob. 01:23:40.980 --> 01:23:44.980 Oh, the damage, take that character, but also bonus damage on the Alawi. 01:23:44.980 --> 01:23:49.980 Now, way less healthy, and then one character remains, with that anti-air attack. 01:23:49.980 --> 01:23:53.980 I was about to say, at least the plus side Echo doesn't have much health at all, 01:23:53.980 --> 01:23:55.980 so you're going to quite easily finish that off if you can find it here. 01:23:55.980 --> 01:23:56.980 Now it's a strep Alawi T-Mode. 01:23:56.980 --> 01:24:00.980 I mean, allowing us to have that damage output in T-Mode does not have a lot of health, so please can't find it. 01:24:01.980 --> 01:24:04.980 Hello? Look, characters in this game have different damage values or health values. 01:24:04.980 --> 01:24:07.980 T-Mode, as annoying as he is, he's made of wet paper. 01:24:07.980 --> 01:24:09.980 If you hit him with anything significant, he's probably dead. 01:24:09.980 --> 01:24:10.980 But what? 01:24:10.980 --> 01:24:12.980 He's farther over here to avoid the mushroom. 01:24:12.980 --> 01:24:13.980 Beautiful throw tech. 01:24:13.980 --> 01:24:16.980 That throw tech's saving the skin of Superdome straight back into the action. 01:24:16.980 --> 01:24:18.980 Not great on the resource department, but... 01:24:18.980 --> 01:24:25.480 The same stuff I know. You took all the blood side leeches on that movie, and hit it, and Steemo is gone, but again you need to mind it. 01:24:25.480 --> 01:24:28.480 That's a poison taking down. What a choice. 01:24:28.480 --> 01:24:33.480 You can tell the leeches just trying to have some control on the tree, but there's the invited Supernoon in this little mushroom! 01:24:33.480 --> 01:24:35.480 Oh, the Super of Supers! 01:24:35.480 --> 01:24:37.480 Just that first game of the war. 01:24:37.480 --> 01:24:40.480 I mean, this is the Supernoon we thoroughly expect to see at Evo. 01:24:40.480 --> 01:24:46.480 But no, Supernoon is a hungry for that first place. No more second. This is the time. Get that first! 01:24:46.480 --> 01:24:50.980 You know, we saw that kind of pre-Evo video, you know, that right about 2xKL, 01:24:50.980 --> 01:24:54.780 and they followed a number of those top NA players, and what Evo means to them, 01:24:54.780 --> 01:24:59.980 how they want to, upon this tour, and how they want to, these are two players featured in that video, two who said it, you know. 01:24:59.980 --> 01:25:02.980 Evo is the one, it just feels different, just feels special. 01:25:02.980 --> 01:25:05.980 The characters in this game, some of them do have to just blow up overheads, 01:25:05.980 --> 01:25:07.980 but technically, yeah, you can't react to them. 01:25:07.980 --> 01:25:10.980 This game is so fast-paced, and there's often, especially in the like, the team, 01:25:10.980 --> 01:25:15.480 there's so much stuff on the screen, but those overheads, there's one of many things you have to grow up to. 01:25:15.480 --> 01:25:20.480 Reactive to it alongside giving track of everything else that's going on, it's definitely easier said than done. 01:25:21.480 --> 01:25:25.480 Another way that Superman has actually used a lot of those suits is to kind of just create space. 01:25:25.480 --> 01:25:27.480 Oh god, oh wow. 01:25:27.480 --> 01:25:30.480 Last dead character, very similar to the last round we saw. 01:25:30.480 --> 01:25:34.480 Echo gone, Alawi taking that bonus damage, so much more work to perform. 01:25:34.480 --> 01:25:36.480 One bar in the tank, leave. 01:25:36.480 --> 01:25:38.480 I mean, that's the difference right. 01:25:38.480 --> 01:25:43.480 Alawi can end those combos, spending the super on those tentacles, but you need the right situation for it. 01:25:43.480 --> 01:25:49.880 for it. This is really rough now and Supernoon is just on the whole part with these mushrooms. 01:25:49.880 --> 01:25:55.320 Limit stripe, activate mushroom, what's it gonna be? What on this? And that next is successful! 01:25:57.080 --> 01:26:00.200 He didn't finish up. What could you do about it? That seems like even though 01:26:00.920 --> 01:26:03.880 even though he didn't finish up, what would you do to stop the poison sticking down to 01:26:03.880 --> 01:26:08.600 Magic Pixel, you're dealing with the Supernoon. Man, that's a freaking match point. 01:26:08.600 --> 01:26:13.160 This is looking so much more dominant than I think those people were expecting to see. 01:26:13.160 --> 01:26:17.240 Hey, the set up Frosty Palsing's a response to go short, but that worked in a distance, right? 01:26:17.240 --> 01:26:19.240 That was a long grand final, though. 01:26:20.920 --> 01:26:23.400 Man, I tell you what, but the motivation's one hell of a thing. 01:26:24.200 --> 01:26:29.080 What could I believe this hasn't, especially with the allowee, just hasn't really been able to get anything significant. 01:26:29.080 --> 01:26:32.920 Starship's stupid and it's just controlled this lose from start to finish. 01:26:33.320 --> 01:26:36.040 There's a break again. Okay, and I just find the hit on the way down. 01:26:36.040 --> 01:26:39.240 No break on the side of the lead, so finally we can start to come into him. 01:26:39.240 --> 01:26:41.880 Yeah, bring it on now, E. 01:26:41.880 --> 01:26:44.240 I mean, only the one beat to spend, but you will spend it. 01:26:44.240 --> 01:26:45.240 What's it gonna be? 01:26:45.240 --> 01:26:47.000 The beauty of some of those Echo combos as well. 01:26:47.000 --> 01:26:50.400 The ability to side switch on a whim, putting them back into the corner. 01:26:50.400 --> 01:26:52.000 Wow, interruption. 01:26:52.000 --> 01:26:53.480 Found the answer. 01:26:53.480 --> 01:26:57.000 The first significant time we've seen those tenders put down into some kind of pressure. 01:26:57.000 --> 01:26:59.840 Superdome immediately weasels out of it. 01:26:59.840 --> 01:27:01.840 And not only that, reverse! 01:27:01.840 --> 01:27:03.640 Now it's your turn to get it. 01:27:03.640 --> 01:27:07.040 Wow, but it was such a prolonged sequence of defense as well then. 01:27:07.040 --> 01:27:14.040 Right, so the tension super was out, managed to block quickly, found the perfect time to challenge, cleared the board and now Echo is gone. 01:27:14.040 --> 01:27:18.540 Now this Allawi again will lead half what it takes to bring the set back. 01:27:18.540 --> 01:27:23.040 The superlun is just possessed right now, once that win is finalised. 01:27:26.540 --> 01:27:30.540 I think Allawi's had enough of those, uh, enough blowdowns to be honest with you. 01:27:30.540 --> 01:27:31.540 Fights in the air. 01:27:31.540 --> 01:27:33.040 Right, activation. 01:27:33.040 --> 01:27:49.040 Oh, the projectiles, the projectiles, just to keep that pressure going, it's the fact that the slingshot is always like, there's a slight delay when I connect as well, so that just keeps you locked up. 01:27:49.040 --> 01:27:57.040 The activation beats out the anti-air as this is going to be miserable for please. 01:27:57.040 --> 01:28:00.040 The resources are available poison as well. 01:28:00.040 --> 01:28:06.040 Oh, double super just to fight whilst the opportunity to break super new with a clean play. 01:28:06.040 --> 01:28:08.040 And a well deserved pull-off. 01:28:08.040 --> 01:28:14.040 I love that because throughout the entire set, Super Noon was just stone-faced. 01:28:14.040 --> 01:28:16.040 The entire set regardless of what was going on. 01:28:16.040 --> 01:28:19.840 But the moment the set is over, you know that emotion is coming out. 01:28:19.840 --> 01:28:22.240 Because that is how important this tournament is to Super League. 01:28:22.240 --> 01:28:25.640 Again, Lee, very much so in this tournament, dropping down to the losers' bracket, 01:28:25.640 --> 01:28:29.440 but it will be Super League moving on to winners' finals. 01:28:29.440 --> 01:28:31.240 Third place minimum guaranteed. 01:28:31.240 --> 01:28:33.840 One match away from matching his place in Japan, 01:28:33.840 --> 01:28:35.240 but you know second is not enough. 01:28:35.240 --> 01:28:38.840 Noon wants that first and doing it in Vegas, that's the plan. 01:28:38.840 --> 01:28:41.040 Being able to at least make it into winners' finals 01:28:41.040 --> 01:28:45.240 and having that level of a pop-off, that level of just exploded emotion. 01:28:45.240 --> 01:28:47.240 It says it all about how much this means. 01:28:47.240 --> 01:28:50.240 However, on the opposite end of that bleed, 01:28:50.240 --> 01:28:53.240 gotta say, you know, I hate to state the obvious as a commentator, 01:28:53.240 --> 01:28:56.240 that was a lot more one-sided than a lot of people expected. 01:28:56.240 --> 01:28:58.240 Now you're... Hey, I mean, nice old bracket. 01:28:58.240 --> 01:29:01.240 Turn it around, you know, that's all you can do. 01:29:01.240 --> 01:29:04.240 I think for now, I mean, let's be real, 01:29:04.240 --> 01:29:08.240 that match of Sonic Indem versus Supernoon is gonna be exclusive. 01:29:08.240 --> 01:29:12.240 I mean, it's, again, it's a place where no stringing for that environment, sure, 01:29:12.240 --> 01:29:18.740 Again, this is 2x, and this is 2x heroes, first-ever vagus, no. These are players who want to be on this boat. 01:29:18.740 --> 01:29:22.740 The gameplay is definitely showing you have to take a look at these three players on the high-play stage and tournament. 01:29:22.740 --> 01:29:26.740 To me, it was just dominance from start to finish for Superhero. You know, just had a game plan in mind. 01:29:26.740 --> 01:29:29.240 A big part that I think was the neutral control again. 01:29:29.240 --> 01:29:29.740 Yes. 01:29:29.740 --> 01:29:34.240 Using Zero for more than just throwing mushrooms around, it was, you know, a good use of Super in the neutral. 01:29:34.240 --> 01:29:37.740 It was an overall denial. Fantastic use of patience on the breaker. 01:29:37.740 --> 01:29:41.180 And what's keeping it on to the pop-off? 01:29:41.180 --> 01:29:42.380 Amazing defense, too. 01:29:42.380 --> 01:29:44.260 Allow a very assertive, aggressive character, 01:29:44.260 --> 01:29:45.740 especially when the tentacles are in play 01:29:45.740 --> 01:29:47.540 and somehow managed to find his way out of it 01:29:47.540 --> 01:29:48.820 pretty much every single time. 01:29:48.820 --> 01:29:50.620 Right, we're gonna go for a quick break 01:29:50.620 --> 01:29:52.020 because we want these matches to continue 01:29:52.020 --> 01:29:55.140 when we come back to XKO at EVO 2026. 01:29:55.140 --> 01:29:57.020 Returns with it, see in a bit. 01:29:57.020 --> 01:29:58.020 Let's go. 01:29:58.020 --> 01:29:59.020 Let's go. 01:29:59.020 --> 01:30:00.020 Let's go. 01:30:00.020 --> 01:30:01.020 Let's go. 01:30:01.020 --> 01:30:02.020 Let's go. 01:30:02.020 --> 01:30:03.020 Let's go. 01:30:03.020 --> 01:30:04.020 Let's go. 01:30:04.020 --> 01:30:05.020 Let's go. 01:30:05.020 --> 01:30:06.020 Let's go. 01:30:06.020 --> 01:30:09.020 Devo is back, and so is Chipotle. 01:30:09.020 --> 01:30:12.020 All weekend long, the Burrito bus will be going extinct, 01:30:12.020 --> 01:30:15.020 hooking up the FGC with free air-conditioned rides 01:30:15.020 --> 01:30:17.020 to burritos, bowls, and tacos. 01:30:17.020 --> 01:30:19.020 Go, Steve, come on, man. 01:30:19.020 --> 01:30:21.020 Let's go.

It's finals 01:33:25.340 --> 01:33:27.340 day and we are starting this 01:33:27.340 --> 01:33:29.340 morning off with the 01:33:29.340 --> 01:33:31.340 continuation of our two X K O 01:33:31.340 --> 01:33:33.340 top eight. That's a cool 01:33:33.340 --> 01:33:35.540 Oh, damn, okay. 01:33:35.540 --> 01:33:36.380 Oh, thank you. 01:33:36.380 --> 01:33:37.220 Hi, everyone. 01:33:37.220 --> 01:33:38.040 But a brilliant start. 01:33:38.040 --> 01:33:41.020 As we've already done a few matches in the winner's side, 01:33:41.020 --> 01:33:45.460 but now it is time for us to take a look at the bracket 01:33:45.460 --> 01:33:47.500 as we start our losers' bracket matches. 01:33:47.500 --> 01:33:50.220 So we are in elimination territory, my friend. 01:33:50.220 --> 01:33:51.260 Glad to say. 01:33:51.260 --> 01:33:53.020 Yeah, it's gonna be Noka versus Poker, 01:33:53.020 --> 01:33:55.340 which is a run back as they did play earlier 01:33:55.340 --> 01:33:58.700 on in the tournament and it was Poker who sent Noka 01:33:58.700 --> 01:34:00.540 to the losers' bracket. 01:34:00.540 --> 01:34:02.100 I'm going to quiz this here five times faster. 01:34:02.100 --> 01:34:06.100 The most exciting thing about this next matchup is the Territories. 01:34:06.100 --> 01:34:08.100 It's going to be France versus Japan. 01:34:08.100 --> 01:34:11.100 I know for sure we have French players in attendance. 01:34:11.100 --> 01:34:14.100 They came out in full force for this tournament, 01:34:14.100 --> 01:34:16.100 not just that, the Riot French team as well. 01:34:16.100 --> 01:34:22.100 The passion that France has for this game is absolutely wonderful to see. 01:34:22.100 --> 01:34:25.100 And Japan, the game also embraced by Japan. 01:34:25.100 --> 01:34:27.100 They do themselves like to compete together. 01:34:27.100 --> 01:34:30.100 So, I mean, depending on which one you're a fan of, 01:34:30.100 --> 01:34:33.940 of it. It's country versus country, community versus community. The wonderful thing is, we 01:34:33.940 --> 01:34:37.820 just get to sit here and enjoy it. Yeah, we're going to take a look at the victory path and 01:34:37.820 --> 01:34:42.820 see what Noka's journey was like going through this tournament so far. As you just said before, 01:34:42.820 --> 01:34:50.460 representing France, quite a back and forth time as we moved through. So it's going to 01:34:50.460 --> 01:34:55.580 be two zeros here and there, losing to poker, and then all the way up right until that 01:34:55.580 --> 01:35:00.420 final match with Blazzie. Oh my word. I know a lot of us remember that. It came down to 01:35:00.420 --> 01:35:05.760 the final moment. Noka hit that final level three and the hands together like please let 01:35:05.760 --> 01:35:09.900 this do enough and it did, which did get Noka into the final. 01:35:09.900 --> 01:35:12.700 Shout out to Noka with the UFA t-shirt as well. 01:35:12.700 --> 01:35:13.700 Oh, how? 01:35:13.700 --> 01:35:14.700 Red Crossed. 01:35:14.700 --> 01:35:19.180 No, it's got to be done, but yeah. A fantastic player overall. Really aggressive. Day one 01:35:19.180 --> 01:35:24.500 by Enthusiast. I'll be seeing by here. No doubts as well. As you can see in the 01:35:24.500 --> 01:35:29.100 The journey, though, fell in round two pools to Poker, so there was a significant amount 01:35:29.100 --> 01:35:32.140 of matches to get through to actually make it into top eight. 01:35:32.140 --> 01:35:35.860 The scary thing about the tournament of this size is, if you get knocked in to losers earlier, 01:35:35.860 --> 01:35:38.260 oh my god, you have so many matches to get through. 01:35:38.260 --> 01:35:41.940 However, as you can see here from Poker, the journey being of the takeout of the 01:35:41.940 --> 01:35:48.860 likes of Ventus, Noka, Leppen 2-1, and then fell to Toshi and Haru, and then 01:35:48.860 --> 01:35:52.220 was able to beat Zayn to get that top eight, and that was a comfortable victory. 01:35:52.220 --> 01:36:05.220 But it was wholesome to see the match of poker versus the Twins, because they grind together, they play together, and even though the Twins normally very likely to just immediately pop off, whenever they feel that there was a lot of respect being shown, very reserved, wouldn't it? 01:36:05.220 --> 01:36:15.220 Yeah, exactly, absolutely. I want to say as well, from a personal note, anyone who's been following this game will have known that there are overall dominant regions to be seen. 01:36:15.220 --> 01:36:21.260 You've got North America. You've got Japan has a number of high level players and Europe is also very powerful 01:36:21.260 --> 01:36:24.900 But within Europe France, you know, if we're talking individual communities 01:36:24.900 --> 01:36:28.980 I feel like Japan France and North America are the three premiere 01:36:29.100 --> 01:36:33.420 Scenes that we see top level players kind of emerging from in this game. That's not to say that's you know 01:36:33.420 --> 01:36:37.020 The only good place there are definitely a large number of players everywhere else as well 01:36:37.020 --> 01:36:41.900 But if we're talking concentrated players versus region, you know Japan France North America 01:36:41.900 --> 01:36:45.740 And those are the regions that are represented in this Top 8, and I think that is perfectly fitting. 01:36:45.740 --> 01:36:51.180 It's hard to argue the fact, because when even you look at the first major event this year for Europe, 01:36:51.180 --> 01:36:58.300 it was Vianality 2026, that Top 8 was literally all-franked. So it's kind of hard to question that. 01:36:58.300 --> 01:37:02.540 I feel like the fifth ones have come out. This is Loser's bracket, folks. Unfortunately, 01:37:02.540 --> 01:37:07.740 one of these players is going home, but the other continues the rampage. Let's go. 01:37:07.740 --> 01:37:10.780 I want to say as well, every single win you get at this point gets you one step 01:37:10.780 --> 01:37:14.820 closest to lion share of that one hundred and thirty five thousand dollar prize 01:37:14.820 --> 01:37:19.380 balls so you're playing for a bit more than just a Evo wins here my friends 01:37:19.380 --> 01:37:21.780 dollar dollar 01:37:21.780 --> 01:37:26.900 immediately significant ending in the corner there with Ari if you follow this 01:37:26.900 --> 01:37:30.080 game you've seen this one's was twice limits track it's up the frame kill the 01:37:30.080 --> 01:37:33.820 tag they rolled as you could react to every other shit the interruption 01:37:33.820 --> 01:37:38.320 I only managed to hit the tag character though, but come on grab up Ari, damage to start. 01:37:40.320 --> 01:37:43.620 Okay, I'll have this choice, just trying to provide the space, but I'm about too much. 01:37:43.620 --> 01:37:46.320 No, could be quite reserved already, but I managed to get a good hit here. 01:37:46.320 --> 01:37:48.320 Ooh, the high upgrade. 01:37:48.320 --> 01:37:51.320 Oh, Ari, sorry, sorry, I said so much damage, it's moving! 01:37:51.320 --> 01:37:54.320 So tempting to hit them on the way down, but they can't use jump attacks, 01:37:54.320 --> 01:37:55.820 you could have fooled them for that trap and then done. 01:37:55.820 --> 01:38:00.320 Lovely patience there from Loka, the tag comes into Echo, limits strike, activate. 01:38:00.320 --> 01:38:01.320 Here comes the mix. 01:38:01.320 --> 01:38:03.320 It's not the parry and the jump scene! 01:38:03.320 --> 01:38:04.820 The perfect answer to escape! 01:38:04.820 --> 01:38:07.320 All by the assist however, the aggressive... 01:38:07.320 --> 01:38:08.320 Why? 01:38:08.320 --> 01:38:11.320 She just sprints towards you, does that function? 01:38:11.320 --> 01:38:12.320 That worked! 01:38:12.320 --> 01:38:16.320 Okay, that is such a perfect analogy for the way that poker likes to play in this game. 01:38:16.320 --> 01:38:19.320 You know, like when it was on defense, very animated, you know, 01:38:19.320 --> 01:38:22.320 we see all those situations where poker's fine and might hold that thought. 01:38:22.320 --> 01:38:24.320 Oh no, couldn't get the pick up! 01:38:24.320 --> 01:38:26.320 That is the hard bit of the reaction to the break. 01:38:26.320 --> 01:38:29.320 Unfortunately, missed the combo, don't believe that that is because we pick up. 01:38:29.320 --> 01:38:31.320 regardless, I can't quite find it. 01:38:31.320 --> 01:38:32.520 Too unfortunate. 01:38:32.520 --> 01:38:36.020 Poker is trying to just force buttons on Defendant Smoker. 01:38:36.020 --> 01:38:38.820 These point blanks just running down with Akali, 01:38:38.820 --> 01:38:40.820 trying to get those close range ends. 01:38:41.820 --> 01:38:43.820 He's going to take a round for it. 01:38:43.820 --> 01:38:46.320 It's not fair enough. It hasn't won in quite a while. 01:38:46.320 --> 01:38:48.320 I can barely see the health bar. 01:38:48.320 --> 01:38:50.320 SA5 is technically alive, but I mean, this... 01:38:50.320 --> 01:38:51.820 Okay, it's not impossible, but ooh! 01:38:51.820 --> 01:38:53.320 Alright, well that's the way of sliding off. 01:38:53.320 --> 01:38:54.020 That's one. 01:38:54.020 --> 01:38:56.320 Yeah, you were at Chipkill territory here, but... 01:38:56.320 --> 01:38:58.820 Very much, Lokas still alive. It was like speaking too soon. 01:38:58.820 --> 01:39:02.320 Oh, unfortunately not. I spoke if you were able to take the round. 01:39:02.320 --> 01:39:07.820 I kind of respect the press there because anything into a special move was likely to give you a lot of health. 01:39:07.820 --> 01:39:10.320 You had to try something to fight back. 01:39:11.320 --> 01:39:15.320 Interesting trade there. Okay, health break is straight into super activation. 01:39:15.320 --> 01:39:17.320 So now I'm going to get the corner on this. 01:39:18.320 --> 01:39:20.320 It helps damage break too. 01:39:20.320 --> 01:39:24.320 Break bonus has happened because you've already got a break, so who cares about that? 01:39:24.320 --> 01:39:26.320 Limit strike, what is it? 01:39:26.320 --> 01:39:28.320 It takes us down the roll a little bit, below. 01:39:28.320 --> 01:39:32.320 I feel like poker, very likely to do anything but block. 01:39:32.320 --> 01:39:34.320 We still have some pressure, but you play to a limit strike. 01:39:34.320 --> 01:39:36.320 The whole set-ups in general. 01:39:36.320 --> 01:39:39.320 A lot of back-back-on-waker, a lot of rolls. 01:39:39.320 --> 01:39:41.320 You sit there and block. 01:39:41.320 --> 01:39:43.320 Quite different games, good luck. 01:39:43.320 --> 01:39:46.320 Ooh, avoided the whole thing with the handshake to keep safe. 01:39:46.320 --> 01:39:48.320 You know, with how much pressure has been on both ends, 01:39:48.320 --> 01:39:51.320 it's been quite a long time before someone finally gets open up. 01:39:51.320 --> 01:39:53.320 What was that, like, 15 seconds or something? 01:39:53.320 --> 01:39:55.320 Oh no, the break! 01:39:55.320 --> 01:39:58.820 Now get close, they don't know, just on the off-chart, there are some new viewers here. 01:39:58.820 --> 01:40:00.820 If you want that break, you punish it. 01:40:00.820 --> 01:40:04.320 They bounce, you kill them, and they lose the meter. A huge part of the game. 01:40:04.320 --> 01:40:06.320 That's why it'd be quite a double-edged sword, right? 01:40:06.320 --> 01:40:10.820 The break exists to save you in desperate situations, but if you're opponent retains it, 01:40:10.820 --> 01:40:12.820 it's almost as if you were better off not doing it to begin with. 01:40:12.820 --> 01:40:17.320 The nature of freestyle and two-times assist, anything that leaves your tag character on the screen for long 01:40:17.320 --> 01:40:19.820 it gives you more time to react to it and bait that break. 01:40:20.820 --> 01:40:22.820 Oh wow, that great catch. 01:40:22.820 --> 01:40:26.340 Akali, okay, yeah, they're chased down, they're very easy. 01:40:26.340 --> 01:40:29.340 Ooh, I love that movement from Koko, just to get underneath this. 01:40:29.340 --> 01:40:31.840 You see that Noca's jumping forward? It's not always about anti-airing. 01:40:31.840 --> 01:40:35.840 Making her so where they land is just no good for them, especially when you've got the movement speed of Akali. 01:40:35.840 --> 01:40:37.840 I mean, she's running at the speed of light. 01:40:39.840 --> 01:40:43.000 Push block, interrupt, but again, cannot over-commit. 01:40:43.000 --> 01:40:47.220 I've got much of faith to try and catch back that character when the point is right there. 01:40:47.220 --> 01:40:50.340 But I love what Noca did. Noca- oh, hang on, hold that thought again. 01:40:50.340 --> 01:40:51.700 Easy as you were to drop. 01:40:51.700 --> 01:40:53.540 Oh, that does so much damage by itself. 01:40:53.540 --> 01:40:55.140 Poker taking game number one. 01:40:55.140 --> 01:40:56.340 And even at the end there, you know, 01:40:56.340 --> 01:40:58.340 he looked like he was kind of fully committing 01:40:58.340 --> 01:40:59.540 when hitting the assist, 01:40:59.540 --> 01:41:01.780 but right as you would go to with punish, 01:41:01.780 --> 01:41:04.340 went for like a fake forward, but Poker... 01:41:04.340 --> 01:41:06.740 Poker has had this fantastic dynamic 01:41:06.740 --> 01:41:09.220 of looking like he is just... 01:41:09.220 --> 01:41:10.740 All by itself, just strapped inpatient, 01:41:10.740 --> 01:41:12.100 but then suddenly out of nowhere, 01:41:12.100 --> 01:41:14.740 a hard call out, you know, the bait on the break. 01:41:14.740 --> 01:41:16.660 Poker was sitting there for quite a long time, 01:41:16.660 --> 01:41:19.540 just waiting for it, you know, just straight up. 01:41:19.540 --> 01:41:23.060 and was still confident it was going to work out, but was accurate. 01:41:23.060 --> 01:41:25.380 Stressful times for these two players. 01:41:26.260 --> 01:41:28.580 Just to remind them, Loser's Bracket. 01:41:28.580 --> 01:41:31.220 Whoever wins this moves on into the joint fifth territory, 01:41:31.220 --> 01:41:33.220 but sadly whoever loses this is out of the tournament. 01:41:33.220 --> 01:41:34.340 It has been a hell of a run. 01:41:34.340 --> 01:41:39.380 I can't stress enough, even getting top eight in this tournament is ridiculous. 01:41:39.380 --> 01:41:40.660 I guess we'll leave it at that. 01:41:40.660 --> 01:41:44.740 Hey, to be honest, when you add the riot contributions to the prize pool, 01:41:44.740 --> 01:41:48.740 Evo's as well, for seven plays, it's $3,650. 01:41:48.740 --> 01:41:54.740 That's not bad for a weekend of work in Las Vegas, but you want to go further off. 01:41:54.740 --> 01:41:57.740 It's not about the money to the players. I'm sure it helps. Don't get me wrong. 01:41:57.740 --> 01:42:00.740 But if you're in top 8, you want to win. 01:42:00.740 --> 01:42:03.740 But she feels like she'll come and tell you there's the newcomers. 01:42:03.740 --> 01:42:05.740 Here we go. Game number 2. 01:42:07.740 --> 01:42:08.740 Oh wait, I'm alive. 01:42:08.740 --> 01:42:10.740 Oh, the... 01:42:10.740 --> 01:42:14.740 Unfortunately, because Akali was there, she was the target 01:42:14.740 --> 01:42:16.740 and took the hit so you get punished anyway. 01:42:16.740 --> 01:42:22.300 Yeah, Noka went for that super, but the projectile invincibility on it, but, like Hedgip just said, Akali just took it. 01:42:22.940 --> 01:42:23.740 Point blank! 01:42:24.620 --> 01:42:26.620 Ooh, the whiff wrap! I love that hatch! 01:42:26.620 --> 01:42:32.060 Yeah, Ekko was not close enough to get that punish in time, so the hatch taken by was still point blank, that was clean. 01:42:33.300 --> 01:42:36.140 Oh, huge poker going for the commitment! 01:42:36.460 --> 01:42:39.260 And that has been a result of the character gone by no longer here. 01:42:39.820 --> 01:42:43.900 That said, should you want to spend it, Yuri is available for Noka. 01:42:43.900 --> 01:42:51.200 Alright, clear. At the moment, we're holding onto those resources. We're gonna hold this user later. 01:42:51.200 --> 01:42:55.200 Okay, more freedom to escape. Oh, misses the anti-air is now! 01:42:55.200 --> 01:42:59.700 It gets punished! Now, Fury. Oh, never mind. I was gonna talk about taking less damage. 01:42:59.700 --> 01:43:02.700 Who gets the total? I've never turned one. Couldn't get picked up, though. 01:43:02.700 --> 01:43:07.200 I'm seeing if you hit something. Oh, there's two precious stuff before the rock is thrown! 01:43:07.200 --> 01:43:11.700 Okay, I mean, you probably survived this with a remnants of Fury, but it is gone. 01:43:11.700 --> 01:43:14.100 Actually, wait, is it? Wait, actually, you might still be gone. 01:43:15.020 --> 01:43:16.500 Here it is. Super. 01:43:16.500 --> 01:43:18.700 Oh, the TG? Okay, no, you actually lived. You lived. 01:43:19.700 --> 01:43:21.820 Still getting the guarantee, though. TG's damage. 01:43:21.820 --> 01:43:24.380 I don't think K. Alright, there we go. Finds the hit. 01:43:24.380 --> 01:43:25.420 Oka. No! 01:43:27.020 --> 01:43:27.900 The existence of G- 01:43:27.900 --> 01:43:29.420 Yeah! That's so scary! 01:43:29.420 --> 01:43:31.500 Do you push? Do you hesitate? 01:43:31.500 --> 01:43:33.500 Unfortunately, Voloka... 01:43:34.500 --> 01:43:38.500 No choice was able to be made there, as Kogor is now on match point. 01:43:38.500 --> 01:43:40.020 Voloka needs to make something happen. 01:43:40.020 --> 01:43:43.460 Okay, there are any French fans in the crowd, it'll be now to time! 01:43:45.980 --> 01:43:46.980 Love our identity! 01:43:46.980 --> 01:43:48.480 Ha ha ha ha ha! 01:43:50.960 --> 01:43:52.960 Okay, wow, I actually didn't get there in range! 01:43:52.960 --> 01:43:55.760 I'm shooting for Loka, I'm going to hit 5. 01:43:56.600 --> 01:43:58.600 Wow, punished hard with that assist calling. 01:43:58.600 --> 01:44:00.600 Oh no, and it results in Echo! 01:44:00.600 --> 01:44:02.400 That's like the worst case scenario, you resist it! 01:44:02.400 --> 01:44:04.400 Results in nothing, takes months of damage, 01:44:04.400 --> 01:44:06.400 and then right as your assist is stopped getting hit, 01:44:06.400 --> 01:44:07.740 the point character takes it! 01:44:07.740 --> 01:44:10.820 And now Noka in a bad position here, the Shroud, here's the Shroud. 01:44:10.820 --> 01:44:13.900 Ooh, ooh, hello! Wait, hang on, what's the pick up? 01:44:13.900 --> 01:44:15.220 No, there isn't. 01:44:15.220 --> 01:44:18.980 Oh, we're going for the command brah! Because the Shroud is on screen! 01:44:18.980 --> 01:44:22.140 Poker going into the bag of tricks, we're digging quite deep. 01:44:22.140 --> 01:44:25.420 It's a move that we rarely see a weekend to be true to. 01:44:25.420 --> 01:44:26.780 Okay, okay. 01:44:26.780 --> 01:44:29.300 Wait, oh, this hurts. Akali is a low health character, 01:44:29.300 --> 01:44:31.700 so this actually might be enough just to get rid of her outright. 01:44:32.540 --> 01:44:33.660 Yeah, that is enough. 01:44:33.660 --> 01:44:38.380 Oh, when you take Fury damage, plus a low health, all of the carnage, that's what you get. 01:44:38.380 --> 01:44:42.380 Wasn't a particularly long combo either, so there's plenty of this Fury left. 01:44:42.940 --> 01:44:46.380 Maybe one of that spankles if you want it, just take the extra damage, gets caught, 01:44:46.380 --> 01:44:48.620 but never mind, no combo if we had it here. 01:44:48.620 --> 01:44:49.580 The side-square! 01:44:49.580 --> 01:44:49.980 Okay! 01:44:49.980 --> 01:44:50.940 Right, right! 01:44:50.940 --> 01:44:51.500 Poker! 01:44:51.500 --> 01:44:54.620 Opened up as Poker has the opportunity! 01:44:54.620 --> 01:44:56.380 What are we gonna get from this? 01:44:56.380 --> 01:44:57.100 Limit strike! 01:44:57.740 --> 01:44:58.220 The low! 01:44:59.180 --> 01:45:00.300 No, did not get it! 01:45:00.300 --> 01:45:02.140 Yeah, but expecting the break perhaps. 01:45:03.660 --> 01:45:07.660 But the thing is there's no guarantee that both will want to pop it in this. 01:45:07.660 --> 01:45:09.660 No, the bait! 01:45:09.660 --> 01:45:12.660 Okay, you don't have a super assist available. 01:45:12.660 --> 01:45:14.660 Ah, what is the part here? 01:45:15.660 --> 01:45:17.660 Guess the game scenario, I would say. 01:45:17.660 --> 01:45:20.660 Okay, what's the setup if you guess wrong, it's over. 01:45:20.660 --> 01:45:21.660 Ah, no tech! 01:45:21.660 --> 01:45:23.660 Ah, we found it! 01:45:23.660 --> 01:45:26.660 But no fury! Still no fury! 01:45:26.660 --> 01:45:28.660 Oh my God, the tech! 01:45:28.660 --> 01:45:31.660 I'm gonna die! I can't believe it! 01:45:31.660 --> 01:45:36.460 Poker managed to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat! 01:45:36.460 --> 01:45:41.420 Poker, holding onto that break for dear life, had Poker desperately tried to play around it! 01:45:42.020 --> 01:45:47.420 I am absolutely shocked that in those scenarios, Poker was just refusing to go for it. 01:45:47.420 --> 01:45:49.260 He was stopping Nogat's entire offense. 01:45:49.260 --> 01:45:51.980 Thankfully, that Super Assistant can't break that one. 01:45:51.980 --> 01:45:53.900 Lippie's got to face the wake-up. 01:45:53.900 --> 01:45:56.300 There's the break! Finally, that beat against Spen! 01:45:56.300 --> 01:46:00.940 I know if we've gone to the next round, but my brain is so struggling to process what we just saw there. 01:46:00.940 --> 01:46:02.780 The air tech's the reversal! 01:46:02.780 --> 01:46:07.380 Okay, talked about swift change in the length of it. 01:46:07.380 --> 01:46:09.380 We are missing quite a few instances here, 01:46:09.380 --> 01:46:12.900 but at least Funoka is resulting in damage dealt. 01:46:12.900 --> 01:46:14.260 As long as you're not taking any damage, 01:46:14.260 --> 01:46:15.780 you care just doing the league, 01:46:15.780 --> 01:46:17.580 and that's gonna be the Akali dead. 01:46:17.580 --> 01:46:19.380 This was looking so bad Funoka, 01:46:19.380 --> 01:46:21.500 and this turnaround is legendary. 01:46:21.500 --> 01:46:23.260 Now, it was gonna be a 2-0. 01:46:23.260 --> 01:46:26.220 It was looking like the cleanest 2-0, but no. 01:46:26.220 --> 01:46:27.500 Funoka bringing it back, but let's not count 01:46:27.500 --> 01:46:30.140 how Funoka, who goes for a risky wake up attack, 01:46:30.140 --> 01:46:33.540 And I feel like that really was the main difference here. 01:46:33.540 --> 01:46:35.580 I think when Noka can get those knocked out, 01:46:35.580 --> 01:46:38.460 get those setups on deck and is ready to punish 01:46:38.460 --> 01:46:40.900 the defensive choice that Poker makes, 01:46:40.900 --> 01:46:42.220 puts you in so much of a better spot 01:46:42.220 --> 01:46:44.060 because Poker does not want to just sit there and block. 01:46:44.060 --> 01:46:45.340 Poker wants to be in the driver's seat, 01:46:45.340 --> 01:46:47.540 wants to be controlling the pace of the match, 01:46:47.540 --> 01:46:50.180 but was able to put a stop to it there was no doubt. 01:46:50.180 --> 01:46:52.380 We're going to a game three. 01:46:52.380 --> 01:46:53.820 Wow, and again, on the cusp of it 01:46:53.820 --> 01:46:57.420 looking like a dominant 2-0, not meant to be. 01:46:57.420 --> 01:46:58.460 And match three, here we go. 01:46:58.460 --> 01:46:59.540 Someone's getting eliminated 01:46:59.540 --> 01:47:04.580 someone's moving on right first blood 01:47:04.580 --> 01:47:08.820 scored by the lone survivor of the French community in this tournament 01:47:08.820 --> 01:47:15.420 huge hit that assist climbing on the Ari has been pivotal for Pogger 01:47:15.420 --> 01:47:19.060 you can see that the synergy between this team and how the assists work 01:47:19.060 --> 01:47:23.300 especially for Akali for the Ari's assists are so good for Akali 01:47:23.300 --> 01:47:27.220 oh but a full catch the second we saw that handshake you know there's gonna 01:47:27.220 --> 01:47:32.020 be some kind of advanced the counter assist essentially that charge there from Ari. 01:47:33.540 --> 01:47:38.420 All right pressure there from Ekko. A lot of jump back attempts, the interruption no mix up for 01:47:38.420 --> 01:47:43.220 you my friend. Actually if I leave that should be a dead Ekko. I would expect you to go in for 01:47:43.220 --> 01:47:47.300 Vi's solo here. There will be some super hits available. You are the very easy to have that 01:47:47.300 --> 01:47:52.020 Ekko projectile which is so good on the back end. Kept it meaningless too so you're keeping 01:47:52.020 --> 01:47:57.300 plenty of summa to take it to this Vi, but I mean I definitely get saved the Vi is 01:47:57.300 --> 01:48:17.020 kind of the star character for Nogum, but Nogum has got those, the crispy execution of these difficult Vi parts, definitely not a character for the fake height when it comes to the execution, but Nogum has a thing or two, a full pick up though, and we're actually going coast to coast, the port of Kari on Kali, quite disgusting. 01:48:17.020 --> 01:48:23.540 This is right, set up, and pressure, all level three it connects, okay, Koko. 01:48:23.540 --> 01:48:27.180 I mean, you can't take the super meter, wiggle into the next round, if you find an opportunity 01:48:27.180 --> 01:48:29.700 to use it, go for it, this is gonna choke. 01:48:29.700 --> 01:48:35.380 Oh, that didn't knock Pete out, just didn't knock out, wait a minute, surviving that 01:48:35.380 --> 01:48:36.380 way, Yuri. 01:48:36.380 --> 01:48:40.900 No, talk about Yuri, we're not gonna matter, that level three is gonna shut down any 01:48:40.900 --> 01:48:41.900 chance. 01:48:41.900 --> 01:48:43.900 He poked out the meter available. 01:48:43.900 --> 01:48:44.900 Come on! 01:48:45.900 --> 01:48:49.900 Moka saying you want to hit me with level 3, fair enough but I've got one too buddy! 01:48:49.900 --> 01:48:53.900 Alright here we go, match point again but let's not count out Moka. 01:48:53.900 --> 01:48:56.900 Tommy is being powered up, second place, anything is possible to make. 01:48:58.900 --> 01:49:02.900 The last minute, the hesitation there, the delay, argh! 01:49:02.900 --> 01:49:06.900 Yeah, okay just taking the Akali, making sure the freestyle option is going to be gone. 01:49:07.900 --> 01:49:10.900 Right, right, right, yes indeed, the reversal. 01:49:10.900 --> 01:49:14.360 Oh, the puncher there, a bit of a weird side twitch there. 01:49:14.360 --> 01:49:16.360 Remersal comes out, but you're still not safe. 01:49:16.360 --> 01:49:18.860 More to use the break on play now with Poker. 01:49:18.860 --> 01:49:22.360 Ow, wait a minute, this is a... 01:49:22.360 --> 01:49:23.860 I've a lot of damage. 01:49:23.860 --> 01:49:25.860 Yeah, I'm going for a little bit of striking to setup. 01:49:25.860 --> 01:49:27.360 And again, Poker! 01:49:27.360 --> 01:49:29.860 I think every time Poker has been on the receiving end of that setup, 01:49:29.860 --> 01:49:31.860 has done anything but block. 01:49:31.860 --> 01:49:34.360 But again, even blocking yourself isn't exactly a safe option. 01:49:34.360 --> 01:49:36.360 It's a character with, you know, standing overhead, 01:49:36.360 --> 01:49:38.360 that quite potential. 01:49:38.360 --> 01:49:40.360 So when the clone is ready, but it's not always the same options. 01:49:40.360 --> 01:49:44.360 Either way, you're not going to work out for Poker in that instance, ok there's the super assist at the very least. 01:49:44.360 --> 01:49:48.360 We'll connect with Poker, give her an opportunity now, get the side to it as well. 01:49:48.360 --> 01:49:50.360 Here we go, the classic re-set-up. 01:49:50.360 --> 01:49:53.360 Yeah, punish is in this time, correct timing. 01:49:53.360 --> 01:49:58.360 But it's one of those situations where if you get the roll punished there really is no time to make it a full combo. 01:49:58.360 --> 01:50:02.360 Sometimes you'll be content to take that damage just to escape the corner. 01:50:03.360 --> 01:50:05.360 Oh, huge dash punch. 01:50:05.360 --> 01:50:08.360 Oh, the Hellbreaker! It's a handshake! 01:50:08.360 --> 01:50:09.360 Okay! 01:50:10.360 --> 01:50:11.360 Ok, they're still here. 01:50:11.360 --> 01:50:13.360 Wait, that was such a false choice for Poker. 01:50:13.360 --> 01:50:16.360 Who is now approaching the theory, but the question is, will Poker look tact-fated? 01:50:16.360 --> 01:50:17.360 Ok. 01:50:17.360 --> 01:50:18.360 Do you want to save? 01:50:18.360 --> 01:50:19.360 Ok, no! 01:50:19.360 --> 01:50:23.360 The delay on deciding whether to break or not, Poker just immediately goes to the level 3. 01:50:23.360 --> 01:50:26.360 Which means that Poker now on the back foot again, but... 01:50:27.360 --> 01:50:28.360 Do you have access to theory? 01:50:28.360 --> 01:50:29.360 But the same can be said for both players. 01:50:29.360 --> 01:50:31.360 It's getting scary now. 01:50:31.360 --> 01:50:33.360 But Ari with no meter on the back of that level 3, 01:50:33.360 --> 01:50:36.360 has very few ways to deny the breaker should have hit Connect. 01:50:36.360 --> 01:50:44.800 next. Especially now the Super Assistant. Oh, the Fury! And the Counter Fury! We're still alive! But for how long? 01:50:45.800 --> 01:50:51.040 You can't be chipped out of Fury, you have to be hit! And you will be hit on the punished retreating guard! 01:50:52.040 --> 01:50:59.000 Poker finding the magic moment in the final instances to take that set. GG's. 01:50:59.000 --> 01:51:04.000 Yeah, that was one hell of a match. 01:51:04.000 --> 01:51:07.000 And the poke of that tournament life continues. 01:51:07.000 --> 01:51:10.000 You have the fury activation to combo off of that, though. 01:51:10.000 --> 01:51:12.000 Can we talk about that? 01:51:12.000 --> 01:51:14.000 That was insane, Ayla. 01:51:14.000 --> 01:51:15.000 The knowledge. 01:51:15.000 --> 01:51:19.000 It's one of the many uses of fury that you don't see in every single match. 01:51:19.000 --> 01:51:21.000 You can pop fury, not just offensively, 01:51:21.000 --> 01:51:25.000 but as a means to extend a combo when there is literally no other option. 01:51:25.000 --> 01:51:30.360 option. Got to give our shout outs though for Noka being able to make it into top 8. I'm sure 01:51:30.360 --> 01:51:35.240 did the entire French and EU community proud by making it this far. That will be a sizable amount 01:51:35.240 --> 01:51:39.320 of money for 7th and we'll be seeing you at the next tournament. Hey, maybe a little bit of bias 01:51:39.320 --> 01:51:43.000 talking but you know we're obviously happy to see Europe make top 8 at Evo. It's always great 01:51:43.000 --> 01:51:46.760 and I think it really it's healthy for the game for there to be multiple competitive regions. 01:51:46.760 --> 01:51:51.000 You know we're saying before the match whether it's Japan, North America, Europe, just all 01:51:51.000 --> 01:51:56.200 and it'll happen to see it work out, you know, big, big fans of NOKA on the desk here, no doubt this is 01:51:56.200 --> 01:52:01.400 far from the last we'll be seeing. Check it out, these readways there presented by PlayStation 01:52:01.400 --> 01:52:06.200 tournaments, that second game, that's only the one that we all want to really look at, 01:52:06.200 --> 01:52:10.200 Catholic replays, because you look at it and think, what the hell just happened? 01:52:10.760 --> 01:52:16.440 So many instances, I think, yeah, it was here.

01:55:38.760 --> 01:55:39.760 What about Globo? 01:55:41.640 --> 01:55:43.960 Yeah, that sounds a lot more than 9% to me. 01:55:43.960 --> 01:55:44.680 I'll tell you what. 01:55:47.280 --> 01:55:49.160 We just picked the live crowd and tried to kiss each other. 01:55:49.160 --> 01:55:50.160 I think that's a good idea. 01:55:50.440 --> 01:55:51.480 Ah, live crowd. 01:55:51.480 --> 01:55:52.000 We love them. 01:55:54.520 --> 01:55:57.080 OK, but unfortunately, not to be a broken record, 01:55:57.080 --> 01:56:00.720 But Loser's bracket, one of these superstar players must go home. 01:56:00.720 --> 01:56:05.680 I have to say, if Hikari does not make it into that top four, 01:56:05.680 --> 01:56:10.040 I would consider that quite the upset here at EVO 2026. 01:56:10.040 --> 01:56:13.800 However, Globo, starting off from the limit strike, 01:56:13.800 --> 01:56:18.840 the flush room, and the potential for even more in the low watcher toes. 01:56:18.840 --> 01:56:22.080 One thing that's cool about Globo though is just the team choice. 01:56:22.080 --> 01:56:24.720 Still rocking the Yasuo, Yasuo team up. 01:56:24.720 --> 01:56:27.780 A lot of this new words change of uses here and there over time the game 01:56:27.780 --> 01:56:31.000 But really has just believed in the absolute team. That's a good reason 01:56:31.000 --> 01:56:37.360 You're a very successful player top level player by every metric to x the summer. It is funky little compact 01:56:39.560 --> 01:56:41.560 It's ever I go get their mail 01:56:43.440 --> 01:56:45.440 Okay, just just after the flow vote 01:56:48.240 --> 01:56:51.200 We saw a tremendous amount of like mid-screen mushroom 01:56:51.200 --> 01:56:52.420 Superhuman, Superhuman, Superhuman. 01:56:52.420 --> 01:56:55.760 Girl, a defense, and again, but we see the same big clip. 01:56:56.760 --> 01:56:58.760 Not a huge amount of hits done on that initial hit, 01:56:58.760 --> 01:57:01.760 so I was able to get the retreating guard, even though he got clipped anyway. 01:57:03.260 --> 01:57:05.260 Watching out for those airborne buttons! 01:57:05.260 --> 01:57:07.260 A bit of bonus damage from that store knockdown. 01:57:07.260 --> 01:57:10.460 That's more important than all Akali taking a lot of damage to the back end. 01:57:10.460 --> 01:57:12.460 Oh wow, that's why we're seeing the tag. 01:57:12.460 --> 01:57:16.060 You're forced to block while your tag partner is just eating dirt. 01:57:16.060 --> 01:57:17.260 Oh wow! 01:57:17.260 --> 01:57:18.460 Nice catch. 01:57:18.460 --> 01:57:20.460 That should be a dead character for sure. 01:57:21.200 --> 01:57:25.200 Hard tag, break it up, let's copy it now, right? 01:57:26.200 --> 01:57:31.200 I mean, I'm still getting the right strike in, so you spend the meter and then build a little bit more. 01:57:31.200 --> 01:57:32.200 Best case scenario for Globo. 01:57:32.200 --> 01:57:33.200 Oh, but, okay. 01:57:34.200 --> 01:57:36.200 Oh, Globo, did you go for the break? 01:57:36.200 --> 01:57:37.200 No, I respect it. 01:57:37.200 --> 01:57:41.200 One of the main things about most kind of breaks, the lovely lefty ground, by the way, 01:57:41.200 --> 01:57:46.200 instant breaks in situations like that, the number one thing it does besides keeping you alive, 01:57:46.200 --> 01:57:50.200 it prices, but the opponent only takes away any momentum in the game. 01:57:50.200 --> 01:57:54.640 I don't quite know if I was in a huge risk of losing a character there, that's maybe, 01:57:54.640 --> 01:57:56.560 yeah, have just been done to preserve them in. 01:57:56.560 --> 01:58:01.760 The downside is, you go into the next round, and the presidents are on fire, if they are. 01:58:01.760 --> 01:58:04.760 Up and so mad, barred all the back. 01:58:04.760 --> 01:58:08.640 It's a present, you haven't bought a present, you're giving it. 01:58:08.640 --> 01:58:11.800 Who's giving the present idiot? Me, on fire. 01:58:11.800 --> 01:58:13.480 I don't think so. 01:58:13.480 --> 01:58:14.480 Alright. 01:58:16.400 --> 01:58:17.920 Oh! 01:58:17.920 --> 01:58:22.920 flash in the air. I mean, this neutral, no one really wants to have the over-commit, 01:58:22.920 --> 01:58:27.920 but I mean, there's 80 seconds on the clock, what's the rush? Oh, okay, there it is, behind you! 01:58:28.920 --> 01:58:31.920 I love the way that Globo is able to slow things down here, though. 01:58:31.920 --> 01:58:37.920 Whoa, okay, dash is through. I mean, that's the kind of technique this character 01:58:37.920 --> 01:58:40.920 for quite a long time. It just looks like Globo's in the zone. 01:58:40.920 --> 01:58:42.920 I mean, Hikari, Hikari wants to get the ball rolling. 01:58:42.920 --> 01:58:45.920 Right, this is a team that really wants to get in there and do some craziness, 01:58:45.920 --> 01:58:49.000 but logo it's just a bit of a neutral brick or something. 01:58:49.000 --> 01:58:52.280 Well, it's very clear that Hikari does want to get in there and start making things, 01:58:52.280 --> 01:58:55.240 but it's not forcing the situation, it's not getting impatient. 01:58:55.240 --> 01:58:57.360 I feel like getting impatient versus Yasuo and Timo, 01:58:57.360 --> 01:58:59.640 that's how you're walking into Yasuo and Normal's, 01:58:59.640 --> 01:59:02.200 Timo's can start building up the mushrooms and every time you get hit, 01:59:02.200 --> 01:59:03.960 it's going to be putting those badges for him too. 01:59:03.960 --> 01:59:05.720 So, number one thing you've got to do, though, 01:59:05.720 --> 01:59:08.120 is ensure that when you finally land that hit, 01:59:08.120 --> 01:59:12.080 your combos and your pressure and your mix-ups are tight. 01:59:12.080 --> 01:59:14.280 You work so hard to get in on this team, 01:59:14.280 --> 01:59:18.280 You have to make it count, and it looks like Hikari does just that. 01:59:21.280 --> 01:59:24.280 I like how Hikari doesn't get impatient all the way in. 01:59:25.280 --> 01:59:28.280 It has clearly passed the fight as a neutral present for Hikari. 01:59:29.280 --> 01:59:34.280 Time is on this side, a lot of life, only 30 seconds left to go in the round, but no reason to go in as Hikari. 01:59:35.280 --> 01:59:38.280 Yeah, I like that. Put the shroud down neutral, getting access to those enhanced specials. 01:59:39.280 --> 01:59:41.280 Yeah, that sounds Hikari. Oh, the parry as well. 01:59:41.280 --> 01:59:47.880 Harry as well, yeah, as soon as you get guaranteed advantage, running straight in from full screen and it results in a hit. 01:59:47.880 --> 01:59:50.880 There's no way on this earth that Globo's gonna pop Giri here. 01:59:50.880 --> 01:59:53.580 You've only got like 13 seconds left to go. 01:59:53.580 --> 01:59:57.480 You're physically not gonna have time to make your comeback, so hold on to the break. 01:59:57.480 --> 02:00:00.980 Hold the back that looked this round very likely not gonna go my way. 02:00:00.980 --> 02:00:06.480 Using the drop confirms it, but at least now, in round three, our resources are looking much better. 02:00:08.080 --> 02:00:09.880 Yeah, it was smart to hold on to the break there. 02:00:09.880 --> 02:00:17.880 Again, if you have to do the cut in games, you know, if one thing went differently, have you not seen that early break through Globo round one, with the Yasuo in the reserve, perhaps? 02:00:17.880 --> 02:00:21.880 But hey, you've got to move on. At least going into round three, both players have a break ready to go from the start. 02:00:21.880 --> 02:00:28.880 Ooh, stress the parry though, to Sakari. Instant Granger, we're not playing games. The air to air throw, there's that super. 02:00:28.880 --> 02:00:34.880 Another break, and that's just, I don't want to be in the corner. I know what that final hit's going to do, I don't want to deal with it. 02:00:34.880 --> 02:00:41.520 Ooh, okay. That must have been like the last active frame of the dart there. 02:00:41.520 --> 02:00:44.920 A bit of a cheaty poison as well. Oh hello, Hakari here. 02:00:44.920 --> 02:00:49.800 Something that Hakari loves to do. That airborne control with the airborne projectiles, whether 02:00:49.800 --> 02:00:54.400 it's Ari, whether it's Kunai, and then always be ready to confirm when they hit. 02:00:54.400 --> 02:00:58.400 Oh, massive weight to attack! 02:00:58.400 --> 02:01:02.880 No, punish. Ah, the O.T. characters that got hit there was the character on the 02:01:02.880 --> 02:01:06.640 back line and that's not going to stop you from getting punished. Timo now left on his own. 02:01:06.640 --> 02:01:09.760 There is some super assist available and the cooldown is finished. 02:01:11.200 --> 02:01:14.880 But this is going to be a scary situation because now Timo 02:01:14.880 --> 02:01:19.520 stuck by himself. You realistically have no reason to push forward. There's a lot of 02:01:19.520 --> 02:01:23.600 mobility on the side of Akali and Ari so Timo's going to have to work really hard to get in. 02:01:23.600 --> 02:01:27.360 So I'll find a hit however and see what we get from this. 02:01:27.360 --> 02:01:30.400 All the badges are ready now. We've got the mushroom badge, we've got the tar badge. 02:01:30.400 --> 02:01:32.400 I mean that's probably enough! 02:01:32.400 --> 02:01:37.400 I tell you what, of all the level 3's in this game, we see so much about level 1 the big mushroom. 02:01:37.400 --> 02:01:40.400 You'll be forgiven for forgetting what that level 3 looks like sometimes. 02:01:40.400 --> 02:01:42.400 I'll build more than worry. 02:01:42.400 --> 02:01:43.400 It's Teemo! 02:01:45.400 --> 02:01:48.400 Taking out that character was a really big deal because now it's level 11. 02:01:48.400 --> 02:01:49.400 So more of a 1v1. 02:01:49.400 --> 02:01:53.400 I know that you can cool in assists and stuff like that, but you're losing the hatching tag, 02:01:53.400 --> 02:01:54.400 and that's such a big deal. 02:01:54.400 --> 02:01:57.400 I mean Teemo is well equipped to make the solo. 02:01:57.400 --> 02:02:03.400 I mean, Teemo is well equipped to make the solo comeback. The problem is he doesn't have the health to make many mistakes. 02:02:03.400 --> 02:02:07.400 And that's the issue. Two meters from the side of the car, Fury to go as well. 02:02:07.400 --> 02:02:12.400 We're definitely quite evenly matched, even though GloMo is down on Feetah. It's not just about landing one hit though for GloMo at least. 02:02:12.400 --> 02:02:15.400 It's going to jam you. There's one Fury first, and there it goes. 02:02:15.400 --> 02:02:20.400 Now that Fury's activated, you have to fight in a galley that is much faster, much higher damage. 02:02:20.400 --> 02:02:25.400 And you're Teemo! Don't get hit, mate! Okay, the Super Sister completely mow the lawn and clear the field. 02:02:25.400 --> 02:02:27.640 Okay, Globo, man, just to find it! 02:02:27.640 --> 02:02:30.440 Okay, even if this combo doesn't kill, it's taking time! 02:02:30.440 --> 02:02:32.040 Six seconds left to record! 02:02:32.040 --> 02:02:33.320 I think Globo takes it. 02:02:33.320 --> 02:02:36.680 Three, two, is it going to be helped? 02:02:36.680 --> 02:02:37.480 Or the timeout? 02:02:37.480 --> 02:02:39.000 It's the timeout! 02:02:39.000 --> 02:02:43.080 What a first game on our hands between Globo and Akari! 02:02:43.080 --> 02:02:44.520 That was hard earned. 02:02:44.520 --> 02:02:45.560 And only one left! 02:02:45.560 --> 02:02:48.120 You don't even see that the fury 02:02:48.120 --> 02:02:51.080 pops the combo timer long enough to just go into the timeout. 02:02:51.080 --> 02:02:52.200 That would have extended a little bit. 02:02:52.200 --> 02:02:54.280 I actually think there was a path that Globo was going for. 02:02:54.280 --> 02:02:59.240 that could have got the KO too. Just if the time led it finished, but Globo played that so well. 02:02:59.240 --> 02:03:03.480 Again, it comes down to that 1v1, right? It's that ultimate, you know, 02:03:03.480 --> 02:03:09.320 immovable object meets unstoppable force dynamic, right? Akali just wants to use that lightning fast 02:03:09.320 --> 02:03:13.240 movement speed. The crazy mix of potential to get into crazy things. Teemo built so well at 02:03:13.240 --> 02:03:17.400 just building the space. And when it comes down to that 1v1, it really is anyone's game, 02:03:17.400 --> 02:03:22.200 but in that case, it went to Globo, now 1-0 in the lead. Start up with a really comfortable 02:03:22.200 --> 02:03:26.200 a really well played game, round number one I should say, game number one. 02:03:26.200 --> 02:03:28.200 Now, try and Globo, keep it going. 02:03:28.200 --> 02:03:31.200 It's the two different dynamics of 2xKO, ultimately. 02:03:31.200 --> 02:03:36.200 You can have these quite fast matches, but if it's a game that goes down to the last moment in every round, 02:03:36.200 --> 02:03:39.200 the reason it's getting spent, it takes a while. 02:03:39.200 --> 02:03:41.200 You've got to be focused all the way through. 02:03:41.200 --> 02:03:44.200 Wonderful start here for Globo and Carly. 02:03:44.200 --> 02:03:46.200 Ooh, ready, almost KO. 02:03:46.200 --> 02:03:50.200 But, that'll be picked up, takes damage while we have that situation, 02:03:50.200 --> 02:03:57.320 situation and that pressure begins. What's it going to be? Delay's running. In and overhead. 02:03:57.320 --> 02:04:03.040 Catches the assist but there will be the grab ultimately here but with no tag available 02:04:03.040 --> 02:04:10.320 if there was a combo you still can't use it. Oh wow! Wow! Okay, Hikari just sent away. 02:04:10.320 --> 02:04:16.480 He's gone. Oh but the grab reset. Okay, Hikari taking out the Yasuo. There comes 02:04:16.480 --> 02:04:22.080 the team. I honestly I feel like the character that Skoglar looks supremely top-to-one even in this kind of solo situation. 02:04:23.280 --> 02:04:27.920 I think I've got a good position to bring it back anyway. Wello. Yeah, I love that dynamic. 02:04:27.920 --> 02:04:30.560 He's the projectile super, kind of moving upwards to make it with 02:04:32.240 --> 02:04:36.080 you do parry the assist and you're the full list of full screen depending on character. Even 02:04:36.080 --> 02:04:39.280 finding a punish is difficult. I guess the opponent says that you've forced them on that 02:04:39.280 --> 02:04:45.880 four second cooldown but you don't get punished who cares jump back again oh no 02:04:45.880 --> 02:04:51.520 the cari swing it there a globo finds the hit 02:04:53.040 --> 02:05:01.000 get him what you doing the corner wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute 02:05:01.000 --> 02:05:05.320 hang on a minute oh no I can't I'll beat that doesn't it keep looking at these 02:05:05.320 --> 02:05:09.320 situations are going okay what's the setup gonna be the setup is just 02:05:09.320 --> 02:05:17.640 your demise you are in my oh my word with the round the team who come back is 02:05:17.640 --> 02:05:24.280 real if we see a 2-0 in this matchup oh my goodness gracious I mean that will be 02:05:24.280 --> 02:05:28.840 mr. momentum is lobo you gotta be feeling pretty good it I mean look I'm 02:05:28.840 --> 02:05:32.920 gonna be far ahead of Kari and after let's out in the space for a good 02:05:32.920 --> 02:05:37.980 reason but match point down you gotta make something happen here there's not 02:05:37.980 --> 02:05:40.660 much time left 02:05:41.500 --> 02:05:46.360 fantastic being there for blobo has a growth for error should you mention 02:05:46.360 --> 02:05:50.140 uncomfortable neutral being established by bobo perfectly playing around how a 02:05:50.140 --> 02:05:54.200 curry's gonna try to pass the space a curry isn't being patient I'm a mid with 02:05:54.200 --> 02:05:57.820 every individual projectiles one less fit of damage you can take 02:05:57.820 --> 02:06:01.260 Leave it in, now we have the Badge on deck, the Mushrooms as well. 02:06:01.260 --> 02:06:04.940 Like Lovre isn't even playing at full power right now with his Teemo. 02:06:04.940 --> 02:06:08.540 Oh, huge, yeah. You have to break him into his Akari. 02:06:08.540 --> 02:06:10.540 And if you post break, you put them in the corner. 02:06:10.540 --> 02:06:13.580 This really is where you kind of want to keep Teemo. 02:06:13.580 --> 02:06:19.020 More screen space for this annoying Karik that has to work with the benefit of him. 02:06:19.020 --> 02:06:22.540 But even on his Akari, Akari is trying to swing these airborne headings, 02:06:22.540 --> 02:06:24.540 trying to look for some kind of air to air. 02:06:24.540 --> 02:06:27.020 But just Lovre is being so patient. 02:06:27.020 --> 02:06:29.020 And careful, that's the big thing. 02:06:29.020 --> 02:06:33.020 A lot of care coming out from Blobo, not to overcommit in a 3-7 bad situation. 02:06:33.020 --> 02:06:35.020 Keep that team going for time. 02:06:35.020 --> 02:06:39.020 I mean, we're quite even here, but in a sec, Blobo has the room to work with. 02:06:39.020 --> 02:06:42.020 Alright, there was a push to support the jump back. 02:06:42.020 --> 02:06:44.020 This is a wonderful opportunity for Heikari. 02:06:44.020 --> 02:06:46.020 We're going to set up the beat to roll, 02:06:46.020 --> 02:06:50.020 and as it was turned into a full combo thanks to the tag being available, there's the super. 02:06:52.020 --> 02:06:55.020 That is really nice damage, and actually, 02:06:55.020 --> 02:06:57.760 And the car leaves, we have a possible to do the drop with our hands. 02:06:57.760 --> 02:06:59.520 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 02:06:59.520 --> 02:07:03.660 Optimized parts, the carry manages to get a serious, serious advantage here, 02:07:03.660 --> 02:07:07.020 taking up the Asteroid, but I mean, I say that as if this Teemo hasn't been 02:07:07.020 --> 02:07:08.160 doing work by himself. 02:07:08.160 --> 02:07:11.360 This Teemo has been the MVP of this match without question. 02:07:12.420 --> 02:07:14.800 You know, actually, dare I say that I felt maybe even the time 02:07:14.800 --> 02:07:18.260 is against Globo here, but it's been in Globo's advantage for so long, 02:07:18.260 --> 02:07:22.160 but how does Teemo take out two practically full health characters 02:07:22.160 --> 02:07:23.460 in less than 20 seconds? 02:07:23.460 --> 02:07:27.460 I don't think it's possible with every second that counts down, your chance is going to count even more 02:07:27.460 --> 02:07:33.260 I feel like we actually saw an exact repeat of this position in round 2 of Game 1 02:07:33.260 --> 02:07:35.760 So I feel like we're kind of watching a bit of a rerun here 02:07:35.760 --> 02:07:38.960 Because Hakari can comfortably take that final sequence 02:07:38.960 --> 02:07:43.760 Okay, the match point continues but Hakari, this is that chance to stabilize 02:07:53.460 --> 02:07:57.180 Alright, now we're getting the logo, the logo chance to come in through. 02:07:57.780 --> 02:08:00.580 But, the Hikari is taking very little damage at the moment. 02:08:00.580 --> 02:08:03.380 There's no rush to force your way in. 02:08:03.380 --> 02:08:07.260 Well, this is a minefield of just stuff everywhere. 02:08:07.260 --> 02:08:09.820 But if we're not getting hit by it, then do it. 02:08:09.820 --> 02:08:12.900 Hey, I mean, it ended up working out as the Hikari's favourite in the last room, right? 02:08:12.900 --> 02:08:15.700 As we've got calls that kind of 30-second mark with them. 02:08:15.700 --> 02:08:18.140 Again, your Teemo's combos there, they're quite long. 02:08:18.140 --> 02:08:20.700 He does actually need some time on the clock to work with. 02:08:20.700 --> 02:08:22.940 That was the Hikari special, by the way. Can't you notice that? 02:08:22.940 --> 02:08:28.940 OOOH! But you weren't able to turn it into a top lane because R.E. had been hit and not that one play, or would throw it from Yasuo. 02:08:29.940 --> 02:08:30.940 Oh, wow! 02:08:30.940 --> 02:08:32.940 That's an easy... 02:08:32.940 --> 02:08:34.940 As you know that cut, that mag dash got punished. 02:08:34.940 --> 02:08:36.940 The jump, Yasuo... 02:08:37.940 --> 02:08:42.940 It kinda looked like Globo tried to confirm into that side, to where the three breaks just immediately break and you still have the corner. 02:08:42.940 --> 02:08:44.940 Maybe I'm looking too far into that. 02:08:44.940 --> 02:08:47.940 I mean, overall, it's looked really difficult for everyone to get this kill. 02:08:47.940 --> 02:08:52.460 So there's so many ways to hit, it's not really a position to always do something with that. 02:08:52.460 --> 02:08:55.620 And it's Teemo, so I'm going to guess you're dead there. 02:08:55.620 --> 02:08:57.120 Okay, goodbye, going for a ride. 02:08:57.120 --> 02:08:58.460 The last ride. 02:08:58.460 --> 02:09:02.120 Goodbye Teemo and Amakaria, life bar away from tying things up. 02:09:02.120 --> 02:09:03.800 Now it's going to be on the Yasuo. 02:09:03.800 --> 02:09:05.800 Ooh, that is a whip though, hang on! 02:09:07.360 --> 02:09:08.800 You nailed this combo. 02:09:08.800 --> 02:09:11.740 I'd say what must have been seeing absolute magic happen to the Teemo. 02:09:11.740 --> 02:09:13.740 The Yasuo's kind of just been along for the ride, 02:09:13.740 --> 02:09:16.440 been more like an assist machine than anything else. 02:09:16.440 --> 02:09:18.400 This is your opportunity to shine. 02:09:18.400 --> 02:09:20.360 Prove your worth, Yappolo! 02:09:20.360 --> 02:09:22.040 Globo, can you do it? 02:09:22.040 --> 02:09:24.760 Hey, with six meters to spend, that's pretty super assist. 02:09:24.760 --> 02:09:27.120 Oh my god, you're looking at the cards! 02:09:27.120 --> 02:09:28.120 Yeah. 02:09:28.120 --> 02:09:29.760 And there's no break for the side of Akari, 02:09:29.760 --> 02:09:32.680 so this is all gonna be guaranteed. 02:09:32.680 --> 02:09:33.520 What do we get next? 02:09:33.520 --> 02:09:36.000 Limit strike, the Sesa, useful throw tech 02:09:36.000 --> 02:09:38.280 that keeps you in the fight. 02:09:38.280 --> 02:09:39.960 Locked off that throw tech as well. 02:09:39.960 --> 02:09:41.200 You cannot get hit by anything else. 02:09:41.200 --> 02:09:42.600 You know that's gonna be a level three. 02:09:42.600 --> 02:09:43.680 Some kind of confirmed... 02:09:43.680 --> 02:09:45.600 Oh, you got me, Sam! 02:09:45.600 --> 02:09:48.720 Hikari got to the other side from that, that's crazy! 02:09:48.720 --> 02:09:50.600 That again! Back to back! 02:09:50.600 --> 02:09:52.160 Oh no! 02:09:52.160 --> 02:09:53.200 Lobo! 02:09:53.200 --> 02:09:56.440 I mean, 10 seconds on the clock, you don't die to this combo, but you need that time! 02:09:56.440 --> 02:09:58.080 The jury starts you alive! 02:09:58.080 --> 02:10:01.000 It keeps you alive and still with the life lead! 02:10:01.000 --> 02:10:04.160 And then even if Hikari gets it, I mean, who's in the lead here? 02:10:04.160 --> 02:10:07.640 Oh, now it's definitely Hikari! Now it's definitely Hikari! 02:10:07.640 --> 02:10:11.920 Oh my word! What is with Hikari and late stage matches, 02:10:11.920 --> 02:10:13.520 where the time is becoming important? 02:10:13.520 --> 02:10:18.760 Do you even remember, Hikari's match to get into Top 8 against JT the Snakey was tied out by Magic Pixel? 02:10:18.760 --> 02:10:21.040 Look, you could barely see the difference. 02:10:21.040 --> 02:10:25.960 And Hikari just using the time as a weapon in this series. 02:10:25.960 --> 02:10:32.760 I'll tell you why, because Hikari, maybe an explosive player, may have unbelievable offense when the occasion comes for it. 02:10:32.760 --> 02:10:40.880 Not always, if you are against these defensive teams and they are putting stuff all over the screen and they're trying to just cause trouble. 02:10:40.880 --> 02:10:45.040 You don't have to go in, just because you don't have the range advantage. 02:10:45.040 --> 02:10:48.080 You can just sit pretty, you can let these things happen, 02:10:48.080 --> 02:10:51.680 you can get rid of the obstacles as and when you can, but you find your moment. 02:10:51.680 --> 02:10:54.560 If that moment takes 20 seconds to land, so be it. 02:10:54.560 --> 02:10:58.080 If you're healthy all the way and you finally land a hit and it's time out territory, 02:10:58.080 --> 02:10:59.840 all of a sudden, you're in the advantage. 02:11:01.040 --> 02:11:04.480 This is going to be our final match of round one losers here in this top eight. 02:11:04.480 --> 02:11:05.840 Only one game left to go. 02:11:07.040 --> 02:11:08.560 Kari starts up great this time. 02:11:08.560 --> 02:11:10.560 Okay, immediately playing as Teemo in the corner. 02:11:11.760 --> 02:11:14.840 The earlier you kill Teemo, the better at the end of the day. 02:11:14.840 --> 02:11:17.960 Hakari doing half of that work, the immediate tag out there now, 02:11:17.960 --> 02:11:21.800 and the cross-up forces the break for the reactions to punish, 02:11:21.800 --> 02:11:25.200 and unfortunately, Teemo gets brought in afterwards, 02:11:25.200 --> 02:11:28.080 so that is a dead main character right there. 02:11:28.080 --> 02:11:30.080 Nope, never mind. What was I talking about? 02:11:30.080 --> 02:11:33.120 I feel like there was a path there to get it, but... 02:11:33.120 --> 02:11:35.120 Me again, Hakari had a massive lead. 02:11:35.120 --> 02:11:37.920 Your go limit strike built up more resources, regardless. 02:11:37.920 --> 02:11:41.080 I ain't gonna lie, when I see a lesson half-wived Teemo, I just assume you're dead. 02:11:41.080 --> 02:11:42.380 I think it's safe to assume the end. 02:11:42.380 --> 02:11:45.500 He would go there, but there's no problem with H-Page. 02:11:45.500 --> 02:11:50.880 It's a way that could be crumbled as Teemo's still like regenerating that grey light because it's important, however, Hikari very much still... 02:11:50.880 --> 02:11:53.640 Oh! Doing what he wants here in this match. 02:11:54.640 --> 02:11:59.880 This has been a perfect way for that first round of games for each of you in Hikari's shoes. 02:11:59.880 --> 02:12:04.040 You've spent all of the other matches just having to play so reserved, so patient, 02:12:04.040 --> 02:12:09.300 Kind of scoring first blood immediately in this game and just making it endless! 02:12:09.300 --> 02:12:12.940 Oh, without that full screen handshake tag! 02:12:12.940 --> 02:12:18.540 To whip on his Timo there, that was just total screen control and now Hakari goes to match point. 02:12:18.540 --> 02:12:23.200 Globo started to set so well, but Hakari really has found his groove. 02:12:24.420 --> 02:12:28.340 Now it's on Globo to adjust, but will we see it? 02:12:34.040 --> 02:12:39.040 Yeah, okay, just using the super, just clear out the Teemo neutral. 02:12:39.040 --> 02:12:44.040 Anything you can do to pass this, the clubs of the screen give you so much more to work on. 02:12:44.040 --> 02:12:48.040 I mean, it's like R is in the struggle to build the meter again either, right? Exactly. 02:12:48.040 --> 02:12:50.040 Ooh, hello! 02:12:50.040 --> 02:12:52.040 I like how Keikari has been doing that as usual. 02:12:52.040 --> 02:12:56.040 When you can tell you've got the space to do it, just setting up the shroud in the neutral. 02:12:56.040 --> 02:12:58.040 Just setting the shroud like that, there's quite a lot of recovery, 02:12:58.040 --> 02:13:03.040 but if you're very confident that the opponent is not going to be going in right as you go for it, 02:13:03.040 --> 02:13:08.000 at least an advantage. Oh, hello, there's the load. You'll notice how often Hakari is spending, 02:13:08.000 --> 02:13:12.320 like, in that neutral space, absolute full screen, or maybe just shy of it, because you're not just 02:13:12.320 --> 02:13:17.360 looking at Timo, you're looking at assist Yasuo. You've always got that distance in your head. 02:13:17.360 --> 02:13:21.760 Try and stay just on the outside of it. Whiffs get punished. Okay, okay, this is it. What you 02:13:21.760 --> 02:13:26.400 want for Globo. Staying in place. Ooh, tries to hop back. Good block on the multi-hitting, 02:13:26.400 --> 02:13:32.640 jump in oh and yeah get out of my airspace there's Yasuo and still Atari 02:13:32.640 --> 02:13:41.160 these pushboxes are crucial but the parry globo still in this match still in 02:13:41.160 --> 02:13:45.200 it the mental state is that we might not have a decent lead here 02:13:45.200 --> 02:13:47.200 We follow Popo's, Popo's. 02:13:49.200 --> 02:13:51.200 And then we pan back in. Wait, hang on a minute. 02:13:51.200 --> 02:13:53.200 Oh, God, that was so bad. 02:13:53.200 --> 02:13:57.200 Wait, oh, give us another one mate! 02:13:57.200 --> 02:14:01.200 Jumping the meters for good reason, goodbye Ari. 02:14:01.200 --> 02:14:03.200 What a wonderful path that was. 02:14:03.200 --> 02:14:06.200 And the catch as well, Akari taking big damage. 02:14:07.200 --> 02:14:11.200 The much like the positions that Globo was in those previous two games, 02:14:11.200 --> 02:14:16.080 So low down on life. It's unlikely we're gonna see a fury. No doubt that will be saved the next round. 02:14:16.080 --> 02:14:22.720 Oh, huge! Okay, we're going the distance for another time! Evo, game three final round! 02:14:25.280 --> 02:14:29.760 We can obviously hear a lot of Globo fans in the crowd. I'm sure they'd love nothing more than to see 02:14:30.560 --> 02:14:37.280 the magic story happen for Hakari. So let's go Globo, chance to hit, but you're fighting against 02:14:37.280 --> 02:14:44.000 an EVO champion, the pedigree of Ikari. If anyone can do it in this situation, surely it's 02:14:44.000 --> 02:14:47.800 going to be him. Hey Akali Ari, we see it everywhere and it's for good reason because 02:14:47.800 --> 02:14:52.320 a certain player put it on the map, and you're looking at him. But even this first round, 02:14:52.320 --> 02:14:56.360 I mean, no one is, no one is, is fresh to go in. Okay, yeah, trying to match the 02:14:56.360 --> 02:14:59.520 screen clear with the guards. That's the benefit of team I've been there was kind 02:14:59.520 --> 02:15:03.640 of like maneuver while shooting them. Your face off gets just projected on super, 02:15:03.640 --> 02:15:07.000 it's a good position. It's been a long time in this round and I feel like we're 02:15:07.000 --> 02:15:09.640 on the verge of almost seeing the first game to never end. 02:15:09.640 --> 02:15:11.960 There has been no significant hits just yet. 02:15:11.960 --> 02:15:15.200 That is the first time, and even then, too far away to capitalise. 02:15:15.200 --> 02:15:18.240 And that was on the back of like a program rolling attack for Teemo as well. 02:15:18.240 --> 02:15:19.800 That block was absurd! 02:15:19.800 --> 02:15:22.000 This round is looking straight zero damage so far, 02:15:22.000 --> 02:15:23.680 and there's only something that can play this round. 02:15:23.680 --> 02:15:26.360 It's all neutral, and both players have it in space. 02:15:26.360 --> 02:15:29.320 Oh! As a hand shake to see the opposite of the idea with, 02:15:29.320 --> 02:15:32.480 this is masterful hatching right now. 02:15:32.480 --> 02:15:35.520 My word, the game that you need to have to stop yourself 02:15:35.520 --> 02:15:38.920 than just getting blown up in some of these exchanges. 02:15:38.920 --> 02:15:40.040 Yeah, we're halfway through the round, 02:15:40.040 --> 02:15:41.960 and characters are basically for health. 02:15:41.960 --> 02:15:43.200 Not exactly, but you know what I mean. 02:15:43.200 --> 02:15:46.640 There's not even a combo's worth of health on either side. 02:15:46.640 --> 02:15:48.480 Practically dead to save on Vita as well. 02:15:48.480 --> 02:15:50.680 We are truly evenly matched here, Evo. 02:15:50.680 --> 02:15:53.280 Is this gonna be the healthiest time out, though, to man? 02:15:54.560 --> 02:15:55.400 Oh my God! 02:15:55.400 --> 02:15:56.920 Oh my God! 02:15:56.920 --> 02:15:58.440 Keep from coming! 02:15:58.440 --> 02:15:59.920 And there's the break! 02:15:59.920 --> 02:16:01.520 30 seconds on the clock, 02:16:01.520 --> 02:16:03.840 and we're barely taking any damage! 02:16:03.840 --> 02:16:06.880 The Lobo and Hikari straight up freestyling in this game. 02:16:06.880 --> 02:16:11.040 It is all neutral and all freestyle, but Hikari finds a significant hit here. 02:16:11.040 --> 02:16:14.120 The deep-wrenching Lobo, okay, can't see anything more from it. 02:16:15.720 --> 02:16:17.560 My word, okay, Ken. 02:16:17.560 --> 02:16:21.480 Lobo managed to, I just too obeyed, but, oh my, we're bibbied! 02:16:21.480 --> 02:16:25.160 They haven't felt the help from the green box, but big for Hikari! 02:16:25.160 --> 02:16:26.760 The break is still available! 02:16:26.760 --> 02:16:31.320 Is this going to be the healthiest time out we've ever seen in this game? 02:16:31.320 --> 02:16:34.760 Oh, no, I'm going for a big, big, big, big! 02:16:34.760 --> 02:16:35.760 Oh! 02:16:35.760 --> 02:16:36.760 Oh! 02:16:36.760 --> 02:16:37.760 Oh! 02:16:37.760 --> 02:16:38.760 Oh! 02:16:38.760 --> 02:16:46.000 Oh, wow, that is the confidence to know how much health you have left. 02:16:46.000 --> 02:16:50.560 I cannot believe how little that was done in that round, because that was just two players 02:16:50.560 --> 02:16:58.000 showcasing insane patience, aware of what risks they were up against, not wanting to 02:16:58.000 --> 02:17:04.080 over-commit, one round left to go, what a set! The combination of how many 02:17:04.080 --> 02:17:09.280 timeouts we saw in that series combined with how many rounds went up until 02:17:09.280 --> 02:17:13.640 about 10 seconds on the clock. That might be one of, if not the longest match 02:17:13.640 --> 02:17:19.760 of 2xKO at a tournament like this. That was unreal levels of patience from both 02:17:19.760 --> 02:17:25.520 ends and a testament to the clutch factor of Hikari, the contentness to 02:17:25.520 --> 02:17:31.280 sit there and just let you do your thing because when I find my moment that round is mine. 02:17:32.640 --> 02:17:37.120 Incredible stuff. I mean what other words is there for it? Truly what you want to be seeing here in 02:17:37.120 --> 02:17:41.280 Evo Topping, in particular for more of these three players, presented by PlayStation Tournament, 02:17:41.280 --> 02:17:45.520 given them the big combo payout, not the first time we saw it, not the only time I should say, 02:17:45.520 --> 02:17:49.760 and we saw that in that set. Bobo did have those massive damage confirms on deck. 02:17:50.400 --> 02:17:54.720 The freestyle combos go wow. Yeah that was a true display of patience I think, 02:17:54.720 --> 02:17:56.720 You really cannot ask for more of that. 02:17:56.720 --> 02:18:02.720 Globo continues to be the player inside the hearts of American followers of this game everywhere. 02:18:02.720 --> 02:18:09.720 I know fell short here, but overall can be very, very proud of this performance. 02:18:09.720 --> 02:18:14.720 The frustration will be shown, no doubt, that that was just an unbelievable final round. 02:18:14.720 --> 02:18:16.720 Look at how much help! 02:18:16.720 --> 02:18:18.720 I said in my format, I can't believe it! 02:18:18.720 --> 02:18:20.720 10 seconds on the clock and all the health bars would breathe. 02:18:20.720 --> 02:18:23.720 When was the last time we saw anything like that? 02:18:23.720 --> 02:18:29.720 That's why you know, when you've got a full three or four seconds and you can afford to do that, because you go, 02:18:29.720 --> 02:18:34.720 there is such an almost non-existent chance to bring that life back. 02:18:34.720 --> 02:18:42.720 And even the Kario, even with the bags at the end, still the handshake, the nod of approval, GGs is a Kario move. 02:18:42.720 --> 02:18:44.720 We're going to go for a quick break. 02:18:44.720 --> 02:18:48.720 We'll move return, 2xKO returns with it. Thank you so much for watching so far. 02:18:48.720 --> 02:18:51.720 Big thanks to this wonderful crowd behind us. 02:18:51.720 --> 02:18:56.720 We're gonna wait to hear you later when we come back EVO 2026 Returns. 02:19:13.720 --> 02:19:20.720 Chipotle honey chicken is back.

You already know that's gonna be good 02:25:09.900 --> 02:25:14.000 The losers matches were about to have both of them USA versus Japan 02:25:14.380 --> 02:25:15.340 Damn 02:25:15.340 --> 02:25:17.340 That she is is pretty cool 02:25:17.340 --> 02:25:19.340 Pretty fitting as well though. 02:25:19.340 --> 02:25:21.340 The bleed versus poker still too. 02:25:21.340 --> 02:25:26.340 Relatively young players. I think they are our youngest players in the top 8 overall. 02:25:26.340 --> 02:25:28.340 Correct. Already very experienced. 02:25:28.340 --> 02:25:34.340 With how little you would have assumed they would have in the FGC, that time has been spent wisely. 02:25:34.340 --> 02:25:40.340 Just grinding, playing, competing and especially in 2xKO. 02:25:40.340 --> 02:25:46.340 These aren't regular faces in both regions, whether it's in Japan, whether it's in USA. 02:25:46.340 --> 02:25:51.860 Okay, are we ready to go in? This is it. Okay. Wow. Okay. I love already the start 02:25:51.860 --> 02:25:54.420 The leader is the kind of player who I've seen over and over again 02:25:54.420 --> 02:26:00.460 We'll just go for a round start running straight at you in this in this match leads moving back and it's poker 02:26:00.460 --> 02:26:03.960 That's just running them down. So we've got two players definitely wanted to get aggressive 02:26:03.960 --> 02:26:06.740 But lead being a little bit more patient to getting rewarded for it 02:26:06.740 --> 02:26:07.460 Oh, no 02:26:07.460 --> 02:26:12.820 Wow, the counter hit on the wake up to caught pressing button trying to fight back with something 02:26:12.820 --> 02:26:19.060 Besides where to keep you back into the corner, a character dead already, Ari, left to come 02:26:19.060 --> 02:26:24.780 in, but you are having to fight Barry's healthy Echo Alli, and a lot of meat to play with 02:26:24.780 --> 02:26:25.780 my title. 02:26:25.780 --> 02:26:27.780 I'll miss it again, unfortunately. 02:26:27.780 --> 02:26:31.620 You know, that was trying to bait a break or something, I'm not sure why you left 02:26:31.620 --> 02:26:32.620 it serving. 02:26:32.620 --> 02:26:36.060 From that distance, I would be surprised by, hey, they are the pros after all. 02:26:36.060 --> 02:26:37.940 I'm trying to give the benefit of the doubt, I suppose. 02:26:37.940 --> 02:26:40.940 Alright, that's a limit strike, there's the setup. 02:26:40.940 --> 02:26:47.180 Ooh, just a raw wake-up! We are not playing any games, and then again, I guess, with the break available, you can play those kind of risks. 02:26:48.520 --> 02:26:53.360 Okay, yeah, telling this guy to intercept it to a block string anyway, please, again, be careful, but, ah! 02:26:53.360 --> 02:26:54.560 It gets clicked! 02:26:54.900 --> 02:26:57.720 And now, Hoku's playing right back in the same situation again. 02:26:58.300 --> 02:26:59.380 You know, meet her this time. 02:26:59.380 --> 02:27:01.220 Wow! There we go! 02:27:01.720 --> 02:27:03.960 Straight up, dive bomb! 02:27:04.660 --> 02:27:08.920 Right, activate, but the tactical was there to continue the combo. 02:27:08.920 --> 02:27:12.920 Why not go for a second? Oh, I find this! But it doesn't matter! 02:27:12.920 --> 02:27:16.420 The final hit is landed regardless. Poker one round down, bleed. 02:27:16.420 --> 02:27:18.920 In the driver's seat going into round two. 02:27:20.920 --> 02:27:24.920 Oh, I love that round start too. Round one was just Poker running in. 02:27:24.920 --> 02:27:26.920 Round two going for the S1 with the car. 02:27:26.920 --> 02:27:29.920 Just that dive in covered by the ariasis. 02:27:29.920 --> 02:27:32.920 Poker definitely wants to get the advantage as early as possible. Wow, that's it! 02:27:32.920 --> 02:27:34.920 That's often as possible. 02:27:34.920 --> 02:27:44.520 Very rare at this level, that technical will just connect clean like that at range, but it does cover like half the screen if you can't get it set up, and this is when you find the activation time. 02:27:44.520 --> 02:27:52.120 Side-switch! So cheeky! But no! The over-commitment! Unleashed for it now as a Kali! Back in the game! 02:27:54.120 --> 02:27:57.400 Gonna get a big... Yep, we'll hardly get from it. 02:27:57.400 --> 02:28:04.740 Shroud, the roll, the fearlessness bleeds, just not afraid to pick these bold options 02:28:04.740 --> 02:28:05.740 away. 02:28:05.740 --> 02:28:09.160 Unfortunately for Poker as well, I feel like that path we do commonly see the shuriken 02:28:09.160 --> 02:28:13.720 super into the Azuna drop, but was like a shred of super away from having that second 02:28:13.720 --> 02:28:14.720 meter. 02:28:14.720 --> 02:28:17.720 Still, this is going to matter too much, does take out the Echo now, allowee. 02:28:17.720 --> 02:28:22.480 Definitely a character who seemed bleeder, a lot of confidence in overtime, but don't 02:28:22.480 --> 02:28:24.480 make it work now. 02:28:24.480 --> 02:28:26.480 Oh, nice parry. 02:28:26.480 --> 02:28:31.480 Pushed one as well, on the double jump to make the overhead whiff insane! 02:28:31.480 --> 02:28:36.480 Oh no, didn't get egged poker with quite a few combo drops, what execution error is this? 02:28:36.480 --> 02:28:39.480 I mean, it staggers on these, it's landing right into another parry! 02:28:39.480 --> 02:28:43.480 It's a lot worse than that though, Mustard, because look at where you are, you're back to the corner, 02:28:43.480 --> 02:28:46.480 the level one is bent, the tannoy goes, and here we go! 02:28:46.480 --> 02:28:50.480 Where we get extra damage, the pressure, for a letter... 02:28:50.480 --> 02:28:55.480 OH GOD! The happy birthday! That was looking so bad my goodness! 02:28:55.480 --> 02:29:00.360 Bleed even went for an air tech chase, but the throw tank was ready for it. 02:29:00.360 --> 02:29:03.940 The fact that the Anya whiffed as well, it went for that assist called, Lee would have 02:29:03.940 --> 02:29:04.940 acted in punishment. 02:29:04.940 --> 02:29:11.600 Oh, speaking of which, the Fury Dashcancel to be able to punish the break, that was disgusting. 02:29:11.600 --> 02:29:14.860 That was what he referred to as a try hard for the loophole. 02:29:14.860 --> 02:29:15.360 Yes. 02:29:15.360 --> 02:29:18.720 The Dashcancel out of Fury, just to fake that break, are you kidding me? 02:29:18.720 --> 02:29:22.060 Hey man, that night is the type of sweaty plate you would expect. 02:29:22.060 --> 02:29:25.060 Young man reactions, bro. Young man reactions. 02:29:25.060 --> 02:29:30.060 If Fury is so scary for a number of reasons, being able to dash-catch him just about anything 02:29:30.060 --> 02:29:35.060 has just a laundry list of applications. Being able to make breaks like that, it's really one of them. 02:29:35.060 --> 02:29:40.060 Oh, wow. What a start. Leave game one on the board now against Poker. 02:29:40.060 --> 02:29:46.060 Poker.

This round will be low. 02:29:50.060 --> 02:29:56.060 However, you go with the lane of guards from that way. Just becky, press a button, and you do. 02:29:56.060 --> 02:30:02.060 The entire sequence resulting in Echo Garden 2 that was just all control from focus start to finish in here is allowing it. 02:30:02.060 --> 02:30:06.060 Well, I was like such a long-distance crouching medium. 02:30:06.060 --> 02:30:10.060 I mean, I know allowee's is probably our longest range, like post-traditional grounded button, 02:30:10.060 --> 02:30:12.060 but I caught poker on the way in. 02:30:12.060 --> 02:30:14.060 When kind of a prediction was believed it did work out. 02:30:14.060 --> 02:30:16.060 I think I'm a technical, but at least a little bit of damage. 02:30:16.060 --> 02:30:19.500 any little chunk of damage you can do here is going to be good against a colleague of that 02:30:19.500 --> 02:30:24.700 helpful this fight is lacking i'm not going to matter too much 02:30:24.860 --> 02:30:29.180 just tend to let this drop at the moment there's a lot of possible happy birthday that we saw moments 02:30:29.180 --> 02:30:33.660 before that but just couldn't quite fight this oh i like that set up you see the frame kill 02:30:33.660 --> 02:30:37.180 those intentional whipping of the normals to make that meaty tiny consistent 02:30:37.180 --> 02:30:42.620 it's all in a pretty disgusting set up wow okay just slapping echo on one side and allow 02:30:42.620 --> 02:30:45.380 How are we the other?

However, stun! 02:32:57.580 --> 02:33:01.580 You need to break out the only thing that's too age no, and that's gonna be bad news. 02:33:01.580 --> 02:33:07.000 The case of those crouching heavies, they might be fantastic anti-air as well, all the time they have a lot of recovery to them. 02:33:07.000 --> 02:33:13.640 If you're against characters like Arya and Carly, they have that amazing kind of sweetness and coverage with a great your butt, but you need to get him to punish. 02:33:13.640 --> 02:33:18.100 You can't be getting away with it, and that is not going to be the case. Poker taking out Echo here. 02:33:18.100 --> 02:33:23.220 Poker did have to turn that into a two-touch Stario, though. We were about half a second away from the Carly being backed. 02:33:23.220 --> 02:33:27.780 Oh! That would have turned into a combo off the grab, but look at this turn. 02:33:27.780 --> 02:33:29.060 Oh, wow, that's it. 02:33:29.060 --> 02:33:32.660 Yeah, we're gonna go into the Trident Crew, the Clash, the Tag Lord. 02:33:32.660 --> 02:33:35.460 It's Akali, so please finish the job. 02:33:35.460 --> 02:33:36.660 Thank you very much. 02:33:36.660 --> 02:33:38.020 Just like that poker. 02:33:38.020 --> 02:33:41.460 On the verge of eliminating Bleed, the four top four? 02:33:48.500 --> 02:33:49.540 Roll in. 02:33:49.540 --> 02:33:52.100 Side-twitch down, pressure from the lousy, that overhead as well. 02:33:52.100 --> 02:33:53.460 We will turn that into a combo. 02:33:53.460 --> 02:33:54.340 Yes, we will. 02:33:54.340 --> 02:34:02.340 Now it's just going to use the tag more and there we go, the setup. It's time for the tentacles. 02:34:02.340 --> 02:34:09.340 Just clicked by it and now the dirty stuff, the hard tag allowing Echo to continue to party. 02:34:09.340 --> 02:34:12.340 That really is the crux of the setup though, right? 02:34:12.340 --> 02:34:16.340 It's going to tentacles out, switch to Echo, setup and blowing and this is going to be mad. 02:34:16.340 --> 02:34:17.340 Very hard. 02:34:17.340 --> 02:34:23.340 Now Ari has been used here as a job done, but it's going to be Ari on her own. 02:34:23.340 --> 02:34:27.500 around so we're not to be able to see no tag launch into Akali however much 02:34:27.500 --> 02:34:32.160 Pichillion because damage she finishes the job with. I mean I already told about that just 02:34:32.160 --> 02:34:39.780 an active straight into super as well. Yeah, yeah, let's try to make it as far as we can play around here as much as possible and now we just have those 02:34:39.780 --> 02:34:44.180 sizeable buttons and the damage cancel off the anti-air because you know they're probably going to 02:34:44.180 --> 02:34:48.460 get all the enemy jump staggering off the light but the light connected. 02:34:48.460 --> 02:34:52.700 Alright, possible last chance here for me. I guess that's the down side. 02:34:52.700 --> 02:34:54.700 Oh, wow, what a hurry. That's the downside! 02:34:54.700 --> 02:34:56.700 Oh, the cat! So we never mind what that thought! 02:34:56.700 --> 02:34:59.700 Yeah, just committing here. If you want a break, so be it. 02:34:59.700 --> 02:35:04.700 Wow, the captain here! And waited so long to try to catch up! 02:35:04.700 --> 02:35:07.700 Oh, no! Smart! Waited as long as possible. 02:35:07.700 --> 02:35:10.700 You don't need to extend the combo, leaving with a super to get the KO. 02:35:10.700 --> 02:35:14.700 But if Poker even hesitates it, just flinch them off the break. 02:35:14.700 --> 02:35:16.700 He's ready for it. But was able to cover both options. 02:35:16.700 --> 02:35:20.700 We're going to a... Wow! Game 3 final round again! 02:35:20.700 --> 02:35:27.700 Only at Evo Vegas, baby. That's what it's all about. You get the best of the best. You know these games. You're gonna go the distance. 02:35:27.700 --> 02:35:34.700 You know, when Allami has the screen locked in place, like that full screen, you just don't feel like Echo can get behind you, but here we are. 02:35:34.700 --> 02:35:37.700 The line poker. You get the best of the game. 02:35:37.700 --> 02:35:40.700 Alright, there's that little bit of striking to hold. 02:35:40.700 --> 02:35:43.700 Wake up, Blackbot. So wake up, Blackbot. 02:35:43.700 --> 02:35:45.700 The situation! Oh, that's ethical! 02:35:45.700 --> 02:35:47.700 The full screen summons! 02:35:47.700 --> 02:35:52.000 You know, Elami is doing so much work in this whole entire set. 02:35:52.000 --> 02:35:55.000 That's a huge amount of damage for a Carly to take on the back end. 02:35:55.000 --> 02:36:00.200 Oh, a bit of a dangerous advance there because that's a happy birthday. 02:36:00.200 --> 02:36:04.700 Not only is it going to result in likely, uh-oh, a dead Echo, but look at how much damage 02:36:04.700 --> 02:36:05.700 Elami took. 02:36:05.700 --> 02:36:08.200 The comeback has to happen, but it's so much harder now. 02:36:09.200 --> 02:36:10.700 Oh, massive answer, yeah! 02:36:10.700 --> 02:36:13.700 Oh, wait a minute, you tried something optimal with the delay, jump in! 02:36:14.200 --> 02:36:15.700 Wasn't quite able to find it. 02:36:15.700 --> 02:36:19.780 Whoa! Okay, the fact that Connect is left behind, it's gone away! 02:36:19.780 --> 02:36:22.500 Oh my goodness, we've been able to stay on the spot! 02:36:22.500 --> 02:36:24.580 Dammit, for it anyway. 02:36:24.580 --> 02:36:28.580 That is one hell of a turnaround, and how I look like an even-stable situation. 02:36:28.580 --> 02:36:32.420 Not just me to... but Fury as well! 02:36:32.420 --> 02:36:33.860 But, Harry! 02:36:33.860 --> 02:36:35.380 Oh, the poor loaf! 02:36:35.380 --> 02:36:36.740 Dear Fury, no! 02:36:36.740 --> 02:36:39.300 This line is not to Fury! I've been the first I've had to again! 02:36:39.300 --> 02:36:40.980 This is insanity! 02:36:40.980 --> 02:36:43.780 Pocha with the patience of a saint, and his bleed! 02:36:43.780 --> 02:36:47.940 Who has to pop the fury with the grab against the throw tick as well? This is crazy! 02:36:47.940 --> 02:36:57.740 What is going on here in grab after grab? I fear that might be the end. There is a level 3 and it will be sent by all accounts and it should be a victory. 02:36:57.740 --> 02:36:58.740 Four poker. 02:37:00.260 --> 02:37:03.340 Thanks for thinking about it, but I'd be like, that's the end. 02:37:03.340 --> 02:37:09.020 Yeah, we had it at that level which no doubt they sat there and just watched in case. 02:37:09.020 --> 02:37:11.900 But right at the end, who grabs? 02:37:11.900 --> 02:37:17.860 No, I've got to say, the absolute discipline that Poker showed there, 02:37:17.860 --> 02:37:19.500 and that's what it's all about right there. 02:37:19.500 --> 02:37:23.020 That is what it's all about, the sportsmanship, the respect being showed. 02:37:23.020 --> 02:37:28.420 W Blee, let's hear it for Blee, forever and always, 02:37:28.420 --> 02:37:30.580 but a bright future ahead, I'm not sure. 02:37:30.580 --> 02:37:33.860 It was like I was saying, the discipline from Poker, 02:37:33.860 --> 02:37:38.180 to be getting hit by what could have been the final combo of the game 02:37:38.180 --> 02:37:44.780 with fury available and deciding not only to not pop it but also ready with the 02:37:44.780 --> 02:37:50.980 pro-tech on the kind of reset situation that was I mean that not every player 02:37:50.980 --> 02:37:57.980 would have been able to control themselves but I was able to do so. I tell you what 02:37:57.980 --> 02:38:01.740 we check these replays presented by PlayStation Tournament we're gonna get 02:38:01.740 --> 02:38:06.780 quite the miniature history lesson because I can't wait to see the 02:38:06.780 --> 02:38:12.780 I'm just going to wait and wait for it to happen. I'm sure we're going to capture it. 02:38:12.780 --> 02:38:18.780 Crowd was going nuts. I feel like I've dreaded things with the heart rate. 02:38:18.780 --> 02:38:22.780 That moment was just so much fun. 02:38:22.780 --> 02:38:26.780 But then we were all waiting for the final moment. 02:38:26.780 --> 02:38:30.780 Where it was just insanity. 02:38:30.780 --> 02:38:37.180 But if I'm there hitting the anti-air and being able to like jump cut it to stay safe and with punishments you can have a character. 02:38:37.180 --> 02:38:39.180 Look at how evened it, here we go. 02:38:39.180 --> 02:38:42.220 Oh, yeah it was parry, I've hardly got clicked. 02:38:42.220 --> 02:38:47.580 Right, Pia, the fact that Poker held the fury and was ready for the anti-air attack and a follow up, 02:38:47.580 --> 02:38:52.460 I mean it wasn't the overall Pia made up on the set, but it definitely started momentum. 02:38:52.460 --> 02:38:58.380 That grab, I mean, oh that, I mean it got spicy man, it got spicy. 02:38:58.380 --> 02:39:03.580 I feel like at the very end, you can only think to put yourself in that position. 02:39:03.580 --> 02:39:04.780 What would you do? 02:39:04.780 --> 02:39:06.980 You know, do you go for the grab, do you do that bit? 02:39:06.980 --> 02:39:09.580 Do you try and do something else? 02:39:09.580 --> 02:39:10.780 Who knows? 02:39:10.780 --> 02:39:12.380 Either way, Poker's gonna take it. 02:39:12.380 --> 02:39:12.780 GG. 02:39:12.780 --> 02:39:16.580 I just cannot believe that Poker held on to the breaker there in the corner. 02:39:16.580 --> 02:39:20.380 That was boldness of legendary status. 02:39:20.380 --> 02:39:21.180 It was. 02:39:21.180 --> 02:39:22.780 But that's why Poker is here in this top eight. 02:39:22.780 --> 02:39:25.180 That's why Poker is still in this tournament. 02:39:25.180 --> 02:39:26.380 Let's have a look at the bracket. 02:39:26.380 --> 02:39:29.980 see how these matches are going and we have our next loser's round two match to go. 02:39:29.980 --> 02:39:31.580 Oh my god it's good. 02:39:31.580 --> 02:39:34.380 It is run back over a lot of my friends. 02:39:34.380 --> 02:39:35.580 Tell the people. 02:39:35.580 --> 02:39:42.060 Right, Hikari and the twins, they played earlier in the tournament in the top 24. 02:39:42.060 --> 02:39:42.860 It was Hikari. 02:39:42.860 --> 02:39:49.660 Yeah, Hikari going into this overall tournament as number one seed, you know, one Evo Japan 02:39:51.180 --> 02:39:54.620 overall favourite of the game in general, you know, really pioneering 02:39:54.620 --> 02:39:58.620 at that kind of Akali R-Routine, which we now see so many players using. 02:39:58.620 --> 02:40:02.220 I think we really got that kind of first win of that scale with it. 02:40:02.220 --> 02:40:05.420 But for good reason, you know, I went into this with a lot of respect, a lot of 02:40:05.420 --> 02:40:10.700 high-seating twins, one in the original matchup. It was a fantastic set. 02:40:10.700 --> 02:40:15.260 Akari just had a rather inspirational time at Evo Japan because I know that, 02:40:15.260 --> 02:40:20.780 like, let's be real, Akali wasn't, like, only out for a few days before the event. 02:40:20.780 --> 02:40:25.220 But with how technical she was when she first came out, her combos were very, very fiddly. 02:40:25.220 --> 02:40:30.540 There was a lot of execution required, not just that, but the layers to the offense that you have. 02:40:32.540 --> 02:40:34.540 Dedicated to that character immediately, isn't it? 02:40:35.540 --> 02:40:40.140 Right. And I feel like, hang on, wait a second, we're getting the handshakes. 02:40:40.500 --> 02:40:43.540 I was going to do some sort of analysis, but that was just a badass shot. 02:40:43.660 --> 02:40:44.980 I'm going to wait for the match now. 02:40:45.180 --> 02:40:47.780 Yo, thanks, airhead to aircam for these angles there. 02:40:47.940 --> 02:40:49.820 We always wouldn't be able to see, let's go. 02:40:50.780 --> 02:40:56.660 Now, this is overall a top 8 full of players who are no strangers to EVO Top 8s in general, as we've been saying. 02:40:56.660 --> 02:40:58.700 Even the last batch, right? Bleed and Poker. 02:40:58.700 --> 02:41:02.260 Bleed got 4th to EVO Japan. Poker was 7th to EVO Japan. 02:41:02.260 --> 02:41:07.140 So in this kind of instance, it's going to be Poker who advances forward, but it just goes to show a lot for the level of consistency. 02:41:07.140 --> 02:41:13.740 Yes, but this is, again, you know, like I said right at the start of the show, a game only ever has its... 02:41:13.740 --> 02:41:17.460 You only ever get one first EVO Vegas. You know, this is where EVO began. 02:41:17.460 --> 02:41:19.900 I know there's other events popping up here and there, but you know, 02:41:19.900 --> 02:41:25.460 Evo Vegas really is where it started and is still considered to be that kind of like main event in the grassroot scene 02:41:26.220 --> 02:41:30.180 To X you know to X care. I think the overall competition really reflects that 02:41:31.540 --> 02:41:38.140 All right, well the stage select is coming through I have a feeling this is going to be the start of quite the set 02:41:38.700 --> 02:41:44.860 Not just two legendary players, but a run back of this very tournament. You know Hikari's looking for revenge 02:41:47.460 --> 02:41:52.060 And already, scores a bit of damage, but you don't want to over-commit with a Thresh right in front of you. 02:41:52.060 --> 02:41:54.660 That man's going to absolutely pump damage. 02:41:57.060 --> 02:42:02.060 Alright, fantastic start by Karari, set up the shroud, get Haru blocking here on this Thresh. 02:42:02.060 --> 02:42:03.060 Wow, okay. 02:42:03.660 --> 02:42:05.060 Oh, the Punish! 02:42:05.660 --> 02:42:08.260 The Punish was going in, Jinx coming into the point as well. 02:42:08.260 --> 02:42:10.660 You have to remember, Thresh has taken so much damage. 02:42:10.660 --> 02:42:16.260 Both players now are going to be unbelievably tense, and actually, right, it's going to be. 02:42:16.260 --> 02:42:20.020 Yeah, double super. There's the one. There's the number two. 02:42:20.020 --> 02:42:22.020 Oh, it whiffs! It whiffs! Uh-oh! 02:42:22.020 --> 02:42:24.820 That was for sure! A jinx no more, but... 02:42:25.540 --> 02:42:28.020 Not gonna happen. I mean, the very least, the least of the car is still... 02:42:28.020 --> 02:42:30.500 How's it going? Yeah, jinx is gonna get taken out here. 02:42:30.500 --> 02:42:31.860 It's the handshake timing. 02:42:31.860 --> 02:42:34.500 I mean, ultimately the goal there was to get rid of the jinx, 02:42:34.500 --> 02:42:36.100 and even though the combo didn't do it, 02:42:36.100 --> 02:42:38.180 she basically got knocked out straight after. 02:42:38.180 --> 02:42:41.380 But this is, dare I say, an impossible situation for Haru. 02:42:41.380 --> 02:42:44.260 This is like your floor-overway chip. You put an access to break yet. 02:42:44.260 --> 02:42:45.860 That wasn't gonna happen. 02:42:46.260 --> 02:42:50.260 But it is barely one round so there's plenty of time. 02:42:50.260 --> 02:42:54.260 They just got like Akari there, lands that first significant hit and just didn't even 02:42:54.260 --> 02:42:58.260 stop that supplication for offense. 02:42:58.260 --> 02:43:02.260 The combo dropped but, well that like already got Karli. 02:43:02.260 --> 02:43:06.260 Karli's trying to have a throw as well, you know, Gresh knows what to do about it. 02:43:06.260 --> 02:43:10.260 Gresh is one of the hardest hitting characters in the game and Akari who 02:43:10.260 --> 02:43:14.260 herself is not the healthiest character in the game. Mark really gets hit too much 02:43:14.260 --> 02:43:21.260 You are going to have to be careful though, if you're playing Thresh and you're going to use like air dash, airborne heavies, things like that. 02:43:21.260 --> 02:43:28.260 Akali's jump heavy is the ultimate to the air to air, efficiently counter hits but that is what's going to happen in Thresh, it's not careful however. 02:43:28.260 --> 02:43:32.260 Now Toshi is the one getting the combo to the corner, Akari. 02:43:33.260 --> 02:43:37.260 Slight patience, just in case there was a wake attack, maybe in case there was a carry attempt. 02:43:37.260 --> 02:43:43.580 attempt that two exercises though creating the obstacles in front finding the hit is fresh 02:43:43.580 --> 02:43:49.980 and haru what do you get from this limit strike lantern oh try to punish the roll and the parry 02:43:49.980 --> 02:43:55.740 this is oh no yeah that could not have been what you want that overhead normal you have to be 02:43:55.740 --> 02:44:00.540 distanced otherwise it will whip completely in this case it might cost night with a life bar 02:44:00.540 --> 02:44:04.540 Yeah, this is a full combo coming out. Yeah, Izuna drop! 02:44:04.540 --> 02:44:07.540 Goodbye! 02:44:07.540 --> 02:44:10.540 Yeah, what a unfortunate mistake. On the back of a clutch, Kari too. 02:44:10.540 --> 02:44:14.540 And that's an element to the twins that have been so good all weekend long, whether it's airflow, Kari! 02:44:14.540 --> 02:44:19.540 These defensive choices have been good, but, you know, you make the preach, you've got to follow up with the execution. 02:44:19.540 --> 02:44:21.540 Okay, so she managed to find a standing like that. 02:44:21.540 --> 02:44:25.540 If you're up, you can't, he says no, Fury's popped. Okay, Jigs has a lot of meter. 02:44:25.540 --> 02:44:29.540 The Stunk gun is ready as well, but Kari has no reasons to overextend here. 02:44:29.540 --> 02:44:57.200 I don't know how Akali avoids that honestly. 02:44:57.200 --> 02:45:03.540 Super assist, that absolute verticality that it covers, just can lose ever closer. 02:45:04.040 --> 02:45:06.040 Oh, wait a minute! 02:45:06.040 --> 02:45:08.040 One, two, three, and that's it. 02:45:08.040 --> 02:45:13.040 Ritoshi was on the verge of making it happen, you know, was playing clean, but... 02:45:13.040 --> 02:45:17.040 That's the downside of those comebacks from at one hell of a deficit is... 02:45:17.040 --> 02:45:23.540 Even if the whole comeback is starting to go well, you're only gonna be like one or two mistakes at best away from losing the game anyway. 02:45:23.540 --> 02:45:26.040 Unfortunately that is what's gonna happen there for the twins. 02:45:26.040 --> 02:45:30.660 It's still in 2 out of 3 territory. One more loss and it will be eliminated. 02:45:30.660 --> 02:45:31.660 Bakari going on. 02:45:32.660 --> 02:45:35.240 We'll see. I mean, again, Bakari went into this tournament as the favourite. 02:45:35.240 --> 02:45:36.740 Losers' bracket be damned. 02:45:37.740 --> 02:45:39.100 Still very much as one to watch. 02:45:39.100 --> 02:45:41.100 Oh, wow. All caps on the standing lights. 02:45:41.100 --> 02:45:42.600 But will that change the combo path? 02:45:44.100 --> 02:45:46.740 Ooh, okay. Maybe getting wires crossed a little bit there. 02:45:46.740 --> 02:45:48.540 Yeah, a bit of a losing situation there. 02:45:48.540 --> 02:45:49.640 Never mind, Vector. 02:45:49.640 --> 02:45:51.400 Massively messing with the combo timing. 02:45:51.400 --> 02:45:53.540 Ah, these are taking so much damage already. 02:45:53.540 --> 02:45:55.300 That was such a thrash interaction as well. 02:45:55.300 --> 02:45:59.300 two kind of... let's be honest, that drops off a lot of situations and it's like... 02:45:59.300 --> 02:46:03.300 OH NO IT TRACKS! IT TRACKS ALL THE WAY! UP until the very end! 02:46:03.300 --> 02:46:06.300 And this has been a bit of a crambley round! 02:46:08.300 --> 02:46:13.300 Ahru is definitely getting some opportunities here, before she letting most of them slip through his fingers. 02:46:13.300 --> 02:46:17.300 Here comes Toshi. Alright, these are the two I know you very much thought would be paying attention to, 02:46:17.300 --> 02:46:22.300 but at least he's giving you a break. Ahru's making a lot of uncharacteristic errors in this round. 02:46:22.300 --> 02:46:30.300 Like I say, you can't look into the mind of a player that's fair to assume there is quite a lot of stress taking place. 02:46:30.300 --> 02:46:34.300 We are late into this QFTO EVO bracket! 02:46:34.300 --> 02:46:36.300 This is where emotions run high. 02:46:36.300 --> 02:46:41.300 Hikari will absolutely take out the remaining life there of Jinx. 02:46:41.300 --> 02:46:44.300 There will be now Haru on the own. 02:46:44.300 --> 02:46:49.300 I would assume that these parries will be a better option versus Arina's version of the game. 02:46:49.300 --> 02:46:57.300 Some advantage taken. Adjustments made for these jumpwalkers, they carry, they're easy to find, but even then, carries never guaranteed. 02:46:57.300 --> 02:47:01.300 If you're going to reach them, you're wide open and you waste that meter, it troubles. 02:47:01.300 --> 02:47:04.300 Instant jump to match in the arrow. We love that airborne block speed. 02:47:04.300 --> 02:47:07.300 Oh, ow! I actually cannot believe that jump helped negate from there. 02:47:07.300 --> 02:47:10.300 Pressure on the long links. Oh, that's the airborne kunai. 02:47:10.300 --> 02:47:15.300 Bayers won't call that one the Hikari Special. How much success it gets from that? 02:47:15.300 --> 02:47:21.020 On reaction, all of the Aria's have fell into a cool combo, and so much from just airball projectiles. 02:47:21.020 --> 02:47:22.820 The damage from that time. 02:47:22.820 --> 02:47:24.500 Okay, no hesitation on that. 02:47:24.500 --> 02:47:26.940 Instant Fury Pop and Aru. 02:47:26.940 --> 02:47:29.660 It's brave, but hey, with this life... 02:47:30.940 --> 02:47:32.420 It doesn't take much to finish this off. 02:47:32.420 --> 02:47:34.220 Okay, that's approved. Recover some time. 02:47:34.220 --> 02:47:42.180 Oh no! All the projectiles that would have hit Aru, would have destroyed by Aru's projectiles with the air throw! 02:47:42.180 --> 02:47:47.340 Yeah, and didn't want to go for the OTG fall-off because they were respected in the theory, but it didn't happen! 02:47:47.340 --> 02:47:54.620 We've seen how many times Haru has got that back throw in the air and picked up on the ground, but Hikari had to break! 02:47:54.620 --> 02:48:04.980 That was such a crazy interaction of Super Assist being shut down by the level 1, all of the important rockets, bits of dust, and just like that, Hikari is on match point! 02:48:04.980 --> 02:48:08.780 This would be sweet revenge, but we're not quite finished! 02:48:08.780 --> 02:48:16.780 Here comes Bresh. Must nail every combo, every setup. They have no room for error when your match point down. 02:48:16.780 --> 02:48:25.780 Set up, jinx as well. Chases it down in the air. Parts able to find your way out, not just that, but put your opponent in the corner as well. 02:48:25.780 --> 02:48:28.780 Defense is always going to be tested. 02:48:30.780 --> 02:48:34.780 Not yet. I mean, I feel like the chances are quite high you will build. Only basically get it for you as a character. 02:48:34.780 --> 02:48:36.780 Oh, the dash up light! 02:48:40.780 --> 02:48:42.780 You have to wonder what this next art is going to be. 02:48:42.780 --> 02:48:45.780 It's pretty much every defensive tall hangar of the Linus. 02:48:47.780 --> 02:48:48.780 Set up. 02:48:48.780 --> 02:48:50.780 No, we're just taking damage. 02:48:50.780 --> 02:48:51.780 We are killing. 02:48:51.780 --> 02:48:52.780 And yes, they respect it. 02:48:52.780 --> 02:48:54.780 We don't break with it! 02:48:56.780 --> 02:49:01.780 It also goes to show they've been having two characters up over having access to fury. 02:49:01.780 --> 02:49:08.780 And now, Oshii, okay, and the important thing I guess is that Hiroshi was able to survive, but Akari still has them right where he wants them. 02:49:08.780 --> 02:49:09.780 It's not looking good, Mustard. 02:49:09.780 --> 02:49:13.780 A bit late on the challenge, but wait! They both whipped the grab! 02:49:13.780 --> 02:49:16.780 A bit of a weird encounter, but what the better bit's Hikari! 02:49:16.780 --> 02:49:22.780 I thought that Hikari was trying to punish the roll, I thought she was trying to throw tech just in case the punish was late. 02:49:22.780 --> 02:49:27.780 But they both whipped, and because Hikari whipped first, he recovered first and was able to punish it. 02:49:27.780 --> 02:49:34.780 The Kari now in such a fantastic position it is all up to Haru. The Superacist comes out, gets behind, but no the coverage! 02:49:34.780 --> 02:49:43.780 If you hit this combo, that is it! A Kari eliminates the Twins here at EVO 2026. GG, he will advance. 02:49:44.780 --> 02:49:51.780 That is going to be sweet revenge for a Kari. I know there was always a personal goal at this level of play. 02:49:51.780 --> 02:49:56.780 to play, people that take you out. In this case yet, the players, not just the player, 02:49:56.780 --> 02:50:01.060 you get the chance to run it back, top eight on the biggest stage of them all. That's where 02:50:01.060 --> 02:50:08.660 you want to get your revenge. But sadly folks, we have to say goodbye to Toshi and Haru, 02:50:08.660 --> 02:50:15.180 legends in the maging, you know, that the pioneers of the duo mode, a brain that 02:50:15.180 --> 02:50:19.380 is linked, you know, from one set of twins to another, you know, we're significantly 02:50:19.380 --> 02:50:23.660 very proud. I gotta say it I'm gonna be unapologetically biased. Can we give it up 02:50:23.660 --> 02:50:29.060 for Toshi and Haru keeping the duo's dream alive at the highest level of play? 02:50:29.060 --> 02:50:36.500 Two masters who I hope we seek for many years to come. They share the 02:50:36.500 --> 02:50:39.940 victories and unfortunately sometimes they must share in the losses but at 02:50:39.940 --> 02:50:43.260 least they've got each other they can go back to the drawing board and they 02:50:43.260 --> 02:50:46.140 can come up with some new stuff. Hey they brought that Thresh, Jinx, they 02:50:46.140 --> 02:50:51.260 brought that the two exorcists right you know they they have the confidence in 02:50:51.260 --> 02:50:56.140 their abilities were not able to make it work today but hey they got damn far 02:50:56.140 --> 02:51:00.860 can I just say by the way every single time we've seen Hakari on camera I 02:51:00.860 --> 02:51:06.780 don't think I've seen a single emotion but like stone face there is a mission 02:51:06.780 --> 02:51:09.780 and we're getting one step up so. 02:51:12.780 --> 02:51:14.780 That bait in the back row. 02:51:14.780 --> 02:51:20.780 One of the best things about their adjustment rise is the amount of hit right there. 02:51:20.780 --> 02:51:24.780 I'm going to interrupt myself to talk about that throw situation right here. 02:51:24.780 --> 02:51:27.780 I'm willing to be wrong but I feel like that was the dynamic. 02:51:27.780 --> 02:51:32.780 Akari tries to punish the roll. Toshi tries to throw tech in case the punish on the roll was late. 02:51:32.780 --> 02:51:36.940 They both whiffed, because Akari whiffed first, he was able to recover first. 02:51:36.940 --> 02:51:40.660 And I feel like that really was the beginning of the end in the rest of this round, 02:51:40.660 --> 02:51:43.620 as you watch these replays for the next station tournaments. 02:51:43.620 --> 02:51:46.460 And you see the respect shown, of course, this is the FGC, 02:51:46.460 --> 02:51:48.740 regardless of what happens in the match at this level of play, 02:51:48.740 --> 02:51:50.860 there's going to be that respect we all know. 02:51:50.860 --> 02:51:53.900 Well, I do not want to keep you waiting too much longer. 02:51:53.900 --> 02:51:57.180 We are going to go for a break, but when we return, 02:51:57.180 --> 02:52:02.500 it's going to be winners' finals between Sonic and Inzem and Superdue. 02:52:02.500 --> 02:52:05.500 You don't want to miss it, we'll be right back. 02:52:32.500 --> 02:52:35.500 I'm annoyed as well. Too easy. 02:52:35.500 --> 02:52:36.500 B-b-b-bam! 02:52:36.500 --> 02:52:38.500 This is fun! 02:52:38.500 --> 02:52:40.500 Spider Activate! 02:52:40.500 --> 02:52:42.500 Oh, it's great power. 02:52:42.500 --> 02:52:45.500 Comes a great speeddown! 02:52:45.500 --> 02:52:49.500 Together, we can achieve shooting speed! 02:52:49.500 --> 02:52:50.500 Ha! 02:52:50.500 --> 02:52:52.500 Ha! Ha-ha-ha! 02:52:52.500 --> 02:52:53.500 Huh? 02:53:32.500 --> 02:53:34.500 Whoa. Whoa. 02:53:34.500 --> 02:53:36.500 Mama Gruggen 85 lives here? 02:53:36.500 --> 02:53:38.500 Yep. That's my mom. 02:53:38.500 --> 02:53:46.500 The absolute legend you went from gaming on her phone to ruthless online streaming slayer with no mercy for any living thing is your mom? 02:53:46.500 --> 02:53:48.500 Hey guys. 02:53:48.500 --> 02:53:50.500 Apple's a peanut butter? 02:53:50.500 --> 02:53:52.500 How is this possible? 02:53:52.500 --> 02:53:54.500 With AT&T Wireless and Home Internet. 02:53:54.500 --> 02:53:56.500 Text me if you need anything. 02:53:56.500 --> 02:53:58.500 Level up your connection with AT&T Wireless and Home Internet.

Come on. Let's live a little 02:54:46.340 --> 02:54:50.260 In the light is your deliverance 02:54:53.500 --> 02:54:55.500 I 02:55:53.500 --> 02:56:01.240 3 at this point and now we're going to find out who's going to be grand finals on the winner's side, but it's not just the Evo championship 02:56:01.240 --> 02:56:09.620 There's at stake. There is also a certain matter of total Evo wins. Yeah, so here's a fun little fact for you 02:56:10.220 --> 02:56:13.340 Currently if we're talking overall Evo titles 02:56:13.900 --> 02:56:18.940 Psychfox and Justin Wong are tied for eight Evo titles each 02:56:18.940 --> 02:56:24.440 Sonic Fox did win EVO for Mortal Kombat 1 last year which brought them up to kind of being dead even, 02:56:24.440 --> 02:56:29.940 which means we're in a position now for Sonic Fox to take over and end up potentially winning 9 EVOs. 02:56:29.940 --> 02:56:35.440 And that's what whenever we talk about Sonic Fox and kind of previous EVO experience and this, that, and the other, 02:56:35.440 --> 02:56:40.940 we're not just saying we have seen Sonic on this exact stage over and over and over again. 02:56:40.940 --> 02:56:45.440 He's tried in true time, but I can't believe this. We've only got 4 matches left to go. 02:56:45.440 --> 02:56:49.080 winners finals which is going to be best of five so it's going to be a little bit 02:56:49.080 --> 02:56:53.680 longer season to get that grand final but you win this that is winners side 02:56:53.680 --> 02:56:59.320 top eight guarantee that is a large chunk of the prize money and I love the 02:56:59.320 --> 02:57:03.560 fact that when we talk about box in this game in particular it ain't just a box 02:57:03.560 --> 02:57:10.720 them is so just pivotal to this duo's success the knowledge the 02:57:10.720 --> 02:57:15.420 experience the dedication and if you look at who's mostly playing the 02:57:15.420 --> 02:57:19.640 more sort of single player teams. A lot of the time it's actually in ZEM, the one doing 02:57:19.640 --> 02:57:24.320 the solo grinding, relaying the information back. And we're going to look at the people 02:57:24.320 --> 02:57:30.980 at home. That is a significant advantage to Sonic Fox and in ZEM. Only 20% of the people 02:57:30.980 --> 02:57:35.580 online back in Supernoon, but I mean, if you've been watching competitive 2X, you know 02:57:35.580 --> 02:57:40.060 that Supernoon second place, that's pretty much like his lowest placing when it comes 02:57:40.060 --> 02:57:45.420 to an Evo. That's bloody impressive. Make sure you are at home as well. The Evo fantasy 02:57:45.420 --> 02:57:49.300 pick presented by TNT. You can get involved in these predictions yourself. Just keep an 02:57:49.300 --> 02:57:53.660 eye on the graphics and the socials as we go through. Make your opinion known as well 02:57:53.660 --> 02:57:57.860 whether it's predictions or this, that or the other. Ooh, good stuff. But winners 02:57:57.860 --> 02:58:03.180 finals moments away from taking place. I tell you what, while we get this match 02:58:03.180 --> 02:58:05.780 it wouldn't be EVO without this crowd. 02:58:05.780 --> 02:58:09.580 If you're back in Supernoon, let them know right now! 02:58:09.580 --> 02:58:11.780 CHEERING 02:58:11.780 --> 02:58:14.780 There's a lot of people who want to see Supernoon get grand finals again, 02:58:14.780 --> 02:58:17.780 but do we have anyone who wants to see Sonic and Inzhem take it? 02:58:17.780 --> 02:58:20.180 CHEERING 02:58:20.180 --> 02:58:22.980 And a lot of fans of the duo out there, I'll tell you what, 02:58:22.980 --> 02:58:25.780 we're kicking things off nice and consistent. 02:58:25.780 --> 02:58:29.180 A bit of a T-Mode, mirror match, different characters on the back end, 02:58:29.180 --> 02:58:31.180 though, the Jigs from Sonic Fox. 02:58:31.180 --> 02:58:37.040 This is one of their tried and tested teams that is so hard for others to navigate 02:58:37.040 --> 02:58:41.960 Hey, but we've got to say it in a super noon second place at two nice KO 02:58:42.700 --> 02:58:46.620 Over at Evo France last year second place Evo Japan 02:58:47.120 --> 02:58:53.460 It's tired of second place if you win this match super new app worst will tie second place the last time 02:58:53.460 --> 02:58:56.860 But I mean could this be super news dawn that we're gonna find out 02:58:56.860 --> 02:59:03.860 as it is going to be back to the Teemo and Jinx. Oh, Teemo and Jinx as well on the side of Sonic Manus. Am I like this approach? 02:59:03.860 --> 02:59:07.860 I like this because I think Jinx is quite decent at fighting Teemo in the neutral. 02:59:07.860 --> 02:59:12.860 And this is just a team that just screams neutral and projectiles. That is what Teemo and Jinx are supposed to do here. 02:59:12.860 --> 02:59:16.860 They dominate that neutral, they fill the space, they build that momentum, 02:59:16.860 --> 02:59:21.860 and they win the game using that team without getting huge combos right about just little bits here and there, 02:59:21.860 --> 02:59:25.860 with a little bit of real estate, one projectile at a time. 02:59:25.860 --> 02:59:30.100 Now tell you what, we're having conversations with Sonic and Inzem separately, I believe it was Friday, 02:59:30.100 --> 02:59:32.900 you know, we were talking about the characters and the teams they're bringing forward. 02:59:32.900 --> 02:59:38.020 The answer was, we're bringing forward all of our teams and we're either going to count the pick and it'll just pick 02:59:38.020 --> 02:59:41.620 who players don't like to fight, right? There's so much experience at hand, 02:59:41.620 --> 02:59:46.660 but that's the benefit you get when you're a player at this level and you're used to fighting the same opponents at a high level. 02:59:46.660 --> 02:59:52.740 It's not just about, oh, this character, oh wow, it's not crazy to pick up that much of a box, 02:59:52.740 --> 02:59:56.980 But it's not just a case of, oh, this character's one of these, this character's A versus character B, 02:59:56.980 --> 02:59:59.620 it's one of these players. Who does that player look like in my team? 02:59:59.620 --> 03:00:03.860 What player tendencies do they have with these quite certain team compositions? 03:00:03.860 --> 03:00:06.580 Right now Sonic and Zephyr, they have no reason to rush this. 03:00:06.580 --> 03:00:08.820 They have a massive need of a super nuisance. 03:00:08.820 --> 03:00:10.980 Okay, who is able to find the head at the very least? 03:00:10.980 --> 03:00:15.220 The problem is we have just about 20 seconds left on the clock. 03:00:15.220 --> 03:00:18.180 Timo can do damage, but his combos take quite a while. 03:00:18.180 --> 03:00:21.140 So, we're getting the throw, but there's no way to capitalize. 03:00:21.140 --> 03:00:24.140 Oh wow, level 3, that's huge! 03:00:24.140 --> 03:00:27.140 If it doesn't connect, it's still gonna waste time! 03:00:27.140 --> 03:00:29.140 And do chip damage! 03:00:29.140 --> 03:00:33.140 Oh wow, it covers you up as well, so it's hard to even see what's going on behind it. 03:00:33.140 --> 03:00:35.140 That's like you cut a chip. 03:00:35.140 --> 03:00:38.140 Anything that covers the screen, see, you can't see what's happening, that's a chip. 03:00:38.140 --> 03:00:43.140 Oh no, stupidly tried to try to projectile, but even though it's not a heavy punish, it does waste a meter. 03:00:43.140 --> 03:00:46.140 An echo with zero meter is nowhere near as scary. 03:00:46.140 --> 03:00:49.140 So if you go for like a team launch, you can't do it. 03:00:49.140 --> 03:00:57.140 It took a while to go to Arcade, especially because of the active character, but this is what it's all about right here. This is just team neutral. That's what we want. 03:01:01.140 --> 03:01:07.140 Patience at hand. There's really no requirement to go in. If you are Teemo and Jinx, you have those options. 03:01:07.140 --> 03:01:12.140 Okay, both of the characters are in favor, but there's the opening. Sit for noon. Let's have a think. 03:01:13.140 --> 03:01:17.140 This Echo has just been the main love the whole way through this game. 03:01:17.140 --> 03:01:26.140 I remember that team possibly playing up in those days. So much damage! 03:01:26.140 --> 03:01:31.140 What is that? I'm a newbie, so I like to play at a close range the most. 03:01:31.140 --> 03:01:35.140 The Bootsies, to know how to comfort, to just do what works. 03:01:35.140 --> 03:01:40.140 Wait, what? I'll wake up the tag. Hey, when you've got access to the Brave, you two prisoners, wake up! 03:01:40.140 --> 03:01:46.140 Put the parries into the defensive button!

Overhead! Absolutely filthy, it's an overhead but 03:04:08.500 --> 03:04:11.940 with the breaker coming out it has returned this to neutral once again. 03:04:12.900 --> 03:04:18.340 Once we're being spent for the only remaining bar of super meter, 03:04:18.340 --> 03:04:21.380 we've got force in the mushroom to push forwards to create that mystery. 03:04:21.380 --> 03:04:24.880 He goes into the business and simply repeals on block. 03:04:25.880 --> 03:04:29.380 Let's just go into the possibly, you can see a lot more in this series. 03:04:29.380 --> 03:04:33.380 Neither play needs to overextend as if you do heavy damage incoming. 03:04:33.380 --> 03:04:35.880 You have to be careful, find your moment. 03:04:37.880 --> 03:04:41.880 That's the war projectile and it airs to air from super noon. Hold on. 03:04:44.880 --> 03:04:46.880 Now the poison taking on two. 03:04:46.880 --> 03:04:49.380 Even if you're getting 10, that poison makes a huge difference. 03:04:49.380 --> 03:04:52.020 Poison plus kit damage? Don't feel good. 03:04:52.020 --> 03:04:54.020 Are there any second chances? 03:04:56.020 --> 03:05:00.740 Time might be coming back to here folks. 25 seconds on the wallbark. 03:05:03.220 --> 03:05:05.220 That's a really hard hit super dude. 03:05:05.700 --> 03:05:08.260 Okay, it's gonna take something significant on hit! 03:05:08.260 --> 03:05:09.620 Oh no, happy birthday! 03:05:09.620 --> 03:05:12.340 Yeah, many happy birthday and then finishing off with Echo. 03:05:12.340 --> 03:05:14.580 Off with 10 seconds of the clock here's the thing. 03:05:14.580 --> 03:05:18.420 Yeah, there wasn't a lot of damage done with Teemo, but that was enough. 03:05:18.420 --> 03:05:22.580 I mean, but it's not going to take Supernoon much damage to get a bit of a light beat here. 03:05:22.580 --> 03:05:26.660 It really is up to Inzem. Do you play safe? Would you try and hit on the way here? 03:05:26.660 --> 03:05:27.780 Oh, wait a minute! 03:05:27.780 --> 03:05:29.700 Rest! The Super is not going to do it enough? 03:05:29.700 --> 03:05:32.660 No, they fell out a bit! Who has to light these? Who's got to light these? 03:05:32.660 --> 03:05:34.180 Oh, it's not like an XO! 03:05:34.820 --> 03:05:37.140 When you add it together, it results in more health. 03:05:37.140 --> 03:05:41.140 I think if Inzem didn't flip out of that in the air, if that didn't drop, 03:05:41.140 --> 03:05:43.940 that would have been the win for Supernoon. 03:05:43.940 --> 03:05:45.620 And that had to have been why Supernoon went for it. 03:05:45.620 --> 03:05:46.980 That would have been enough. 03:05:46.980 --> 03:05:55.300 Tell you what folks, 3 out of 5 in this one is finals, so much happened there and that was just one match, we've only just begun. 03:05:55.300 --> 03:05:58.660 Especially between these players, like it's been nothing less. 03:06:00.660 --> 03:06:10.340 I started off with much of the same, he put the mushrooms down, lots of pools out there, makes that slingshot just a little bit more annoying, I think I've been generous by saying that. 03:06:10.900 --> 03:06:13.700 But they're both T-Rows so, you're as good as you can. 03:06:16.980 --> 03:06:24.980 Good thing about those projectiles, they don't give you a huge position, but what they do is they shorten the recovery. 03:06:26.980 --> 03:06:31.980 Trying to get the grab, but covered by the rolling attack when you get the grab again, but two whiffs back to back. 03:06:31.980 --> 03:06:35.980 Hey, two whiffs, and then immediately block T-minus. 03:06:36.980 --> 03:06:41.980 So if you really want to see that they haven't got his wave, they're recovering immediately regardless. 03:06:41.980 --> 03:06:44.620 And Lockett's gonna result in a lovely pick-up like Sonic Fox, though, 03:06:44.620 --> 03:06:47.320 because T-Voh is so weak, he is dead! 03:06:47.700 --> 03:06:51.500 Allowing now Echo having to take this fight solo. 03:06:51.780 --> 03:06:54.660 And, yeah, that is bad news. 03:06:55.220 --> 03:06:58.060 Team Tag, Team 70 Living Strikes Up. 03:06:58.500 --> 03:06:59.500 Ooh, no punish! 03:06:59.500 --> 03:07:03.260 Anything into trap! And the trap just hits it's bar on it! 03:07:03.260 --> 03:07:05.820 Boom! No set-up, but why is this? 03:07:05.820 --> 03:07:07.620 And that's a beautiful conversion. 03:07:08.340 --> 03:07:11.660 Gaze is a dead Echo. Round one. 03:07:11.660 --> 03:07:14.100 Now that's the most dominant round we've seen so far! 03:07:19.380 --> 03:07:22.700 Seen this duo with Jax and Timo between Chops on the Zest. 03:07:23.260 --> 03:07:27.420 Quite a little bit in the past, we see all this quite often combo break at top 8. 03:07:28.180 --> 03:07:29.540 An answer for Timo. 03:07:30.820 --> 03:07:36.380 That's a dangerous character up high level again, that's the benefit of even as a duo playing a number of different teams, right? 03:07:36.380 --> 03:07:39.620 Depending on the playstyle you have to face up against, you can always be with. 03:07:39.620 --> 03:07:46.620 But, uh, I'm going to have to be honest with you, I'm trying to be nice and simple. 03:07:46.620 --> 03:07:55.620 Also a fun little twist bit is that Jinx sometimes really comes alive and acts like you won't play due to steering certain projectiles that are otherwise quite hard to do playing on your own. 03:07:55.620 --> 03:07:58.620 Which is super important, this is the kind of team you're trying to go with right now. 03:07:58.620 --> 03:08:02.620 You see what the twins play at Jinx, and we see this character do it as a general. 03:08:02.620 --> 03:08:08.620 Being able to just hang on an email at a weird time is what you find character or something else, and then you face the reactions of the overhead! 03:08:08.620 --> 03:08:15.220 head another one actually the team on the back end took a hit that's not a 03:08:15.220 --> 03:08:19.620 box thing to block the entire thing well Chalmery defense right there 03:08:19.620 --> 03:08:23.620 that's still alive that's one match right there 03:08:23.620 --> 03:08:27.620 yeah I don't think that's gonna be enough yeah 03:08:27.620 --> 03:08:31.620 oh no baby that's a good charge that's fully connected on the Jigs 03:08:31.620 --> 03:08:35.620 that's you can see that explosion in your head is great health damage but hey 03:08:35.620 --> 03:08:39.620 After Jax, Jiggs can't take up four of them, and Harry gets two of them. 03:08:40.620 --> 03:08:43.620 Alright, here we go once more. 03:08:43.620 --> 03:08:45.620 Don't worry about the sideswitch too much. 03:08:45.620 --> 03:08:50.620 Those of you who may not know, when the character that's not currently in play is doing stuff, 03:08:50.620 --> 03:08:54.620 the attack comes out, you only have to pay attention to the point when it comes to hit direction. 03:08:54.620 --> 03:08:57.620 It's worth keeping in mind that you are defending Jax freestyle, right? 03:08:57.620 --> 03:09:01.620 The active character is the only one you can do like attack, attack, attack, right? 03:09:01.620 --> 03:09:08.620 Still, it's less about fixing up that little bit, I think this is more about, hey, when am I going to catch it? When am I going to tag? 03:09:09.620 --> 03:09:12.620 OOOH! That late extended was done. 03:09:16.620 --> 03:09:24.620 Definitely expected that.

Super new. 03:13:11.620 --> 03:13:13.220 Very much capable of bringing it back. 03:13:13.220 --> 03:13:14.660 We could end up seeing that exact match 03:13:14.660 --> 03:13:17.820 again in Grand Finals, but new is gonna have to work for it 03:13:17.820 --> 03:13:21.020 because that was a dominant 3-0 showing from the duo. 03:13:21.020 --> 03:13:22.420 Wow! 03:13:22.420 --> 03:13:24.420 It was a strange flow, wasn't it? 03:13:24.420 --> 03:13:27.820 Because when you look at the way that series began, 03:13:27.820 --> 03:13:32.220 it was super close, super patient, little hits at a time. 03:13:32.220 --> 03:13:34.820 And then as each game progressed, 03:13:34.820 --> 03:13:39.020 the snowball effect just started to get more and more extreme. 03:13:39.020 --> 03:13:41.420 Look how evenly matched they are, even in these replays. 03:13:41.420 --> 03:13:42.620 These were the pivotal moments. 03:13:42.620 --> 03:13:44.420 The game then sequenced on Litty, even. 03:13:44.420 --> 03:13:46.620 Yeah, I mean, there was 10 seconds on the clock there. 03:13:46.620 --> 03:13:52.300 the health was relatively split and then as each hatch went on Sonic and Inzend they just started to 03:13:53.500 --> 03:13:58.460 whatever it was the next layer the final move better hits the bigger damage consistently 03:13:59.020 --> 03:14:05.980 all of it their synergies inspiration but there's only one more match for them to win the whole thing 03:14:05.980 --> 03:14:10.780 we're not quite there yet coach we're now moving into our loser side we are in our top four 03:14:10.780 --> 03:14:17.280 Crazy to think how we start this one, looking at a thousand players, only four remain. 03:14:17.280 --> 03:14:19.280 Here it is at the end, yeah, there's eleven three. 03:14:19.280 --> 03:14:25.280 So, look at it, he tried, look at him run, look at him go, Teemo, get out of there, get out of there. 03:14:25.280 --> 03:14:29.280 Oh no, Teemo didn't face him. 03:14:29.280 --> 03:14:32.280 That was like the one step away from Teemo, he just put his fingers in his ears like a cartoon, 03:14:32.280 --> 03:14:34.280 just being like waiting for it to blow up. 03:14:34.280 --> 03:14:37.280 Profound, profound sadness. 03:14:37.280 --> 03:14:42.280 Well, but that is it there. Winner's side Grand Finals locked in, we now have a grand finalist ready to go 03:14:42.280 --> 03:14:46.280 and only one player who can fight against them. 03:14:46.280 --> 03:14:51.280 But, if you've been watching this weekend, you've been seeing ads for Chipotle, once or twice. Good news for you! 03:14:51.280 --> 03:14:59.280 Here's a Chipotle code, text BWZ677288822, for a chance to receive a free arm tray. 03:14:59.280 --> 03:15:02.280 Terms of play at Chipotle, the conference, that's a free arm tray. 03:15:02.280 --> 03:15:05.280 But, get some free Chipotle, come on, you're watching video games, well, it's good. 03:15:05.280 --> 03:15:08.320 Look, some of the people in the crowd, right? 03:15:08.320 --> 03:15:10.400 Hands up if you've got the Chipotle card. 03:15:12.920 --> 03:15:16.000 Yeah, so if you put this code in, 03:15:16.000 --> 03:15:18.520 you have a chance to get two free entrees. 03:15:18.520 --> 03:15:20.360 Imagine that, a feast. 03:15:20.360 --> 03:15:22.600 And even if you're not here at home, you can do it. 03:15:22.600 --> 03:15:24.280 Yeah, but let's shout out to this lovely crowd though, 03:15:24.280 --> 03:15:25.840 once again, how's it going, Evo? 03:15:25.840 --> 03:15:27.640 Give yourselves a round of applause, folks. 03:15:27.640 --> 03:15:28.840 You've been in for the hot pool, 03:15:28.840 --> 03:15:30.440 and it is only the beginning. 03:15:31.640 --> 03:15:33.520 We have many games left to go. 03:15:33.520 --> 03:15:38.720 We are nearing the later portions of 2X, but we have other games left to follow up as well, 03:15:38.720 --> 03:15:42.320 but let's not speak too soon, because we have some fantastic players still in this tournament. 03:15:42.320 --> 03:15:45.520 Sorry, Fox and Inzem, of course, locked into Grand Finals, winner side. 03:15:45.520 --> 03:15:49.520 Our next match is going to be Poker versus Hikari, so it's going to be a mirror match, 03:15:49.520 --> 03:15:54.520 and the winner of that will face off in Supernoon to get into that potential Grand Finals as well. 03:15:54.520 --> 03:16:01.520 So only four remain, close to a thousand entrance in the tournament, and only four left. 03:16:01.520 --> 03:16:04.220 That is just the way things go here at EVO. 03:16:04.220 --> 03:16:06.220 Usually it's going to end up being one of the largest, 03:16:06.220 --> 03:16:08.360 if not largest open bracket tournaments of the year 03:16:08.360 --> 03:16:11.020 for any game that's in the EVO, maybe it's like, 03:16:11.020 --> 03:16:13.680 and this year for 2XK, definitely seeming like that 03:16:13.680 --> 03:16:15.380 is the case. 03:16:15.380 --> 03:16:19.620 Poker, the last remaining Japanese player in this bracket, 03:16:19.620 --> 03:16:21.580 the remaining are all USA, 03:16:21.580 --> 03:16:23.820 but I feel like when you're talking about players 03:16:23.820 --> 03:16:26.980 like predictions for, not just top eights, but victory, 03:16:26.980 --> 03:16:30.260 we have quite the little selection left here. 03:16:30.260 --> 03:16:33.420 Many people would, if you were to put someone on the spot and say, 03:16:33.420 --> 03:16:36.860 watching previous tournaments, who do you think is taking this all the way? 03:16:36.860 --> 03:16:39.020 Sonic and N'Zem are always going to be there. 03:16:39.020 --> 03:16:41.700 Hikari is going to be there through consistency in Evo Japan 03:16:41.700 --> 03:16:44.660 and Supernude through the consistency of those grand finals appearances. 03:16:44.660 --> 03:16:46.860 And the fact that grind just seems to never end. 03:16:46.860 --> 03:16:51.260 So I think it's a rather fitting three remaining American players, but... 03:16:51.260 --> 03:16:52.660 But it's a good success. 03:16:52.660 --> 03:16:55.900 Yeah, it's also a number of players who have good success at Evo Japan as well. 03:16:55.900 --> 03:16:58.020 You know, Poco was in top eight at Evo Japan. 03:16:58.020 --> 03:17:03.420 Hakari, winner of Evo Japan, Super Noon second place, and I think, yeah, it's fitting. 03:17:03.420 --> 03:17:08.660 I'm quite pleased that this is the way it's boiled down to, you know, it's hard when you've got players that you're rooting for, right? 03:17:08.660 --> 03:17:14.540 Whether it's the Twins, whether it's Globo, for the crowd here who've been supporting, like, it sucks to see the players get eliminated, 03:17:14.540 --> 03:17:17.460 but we need to narrow it down to that. 03:17:17.460 --> 03:17:20.740 There's only one true world champion for the game, right? We're about to find out who that is. 03:17:20.740 --> 03:17:23.940 Is that the crushing truth of there can be only one? 03:17:23.940 --> 03:17:26.220 Well, two, technically, if you're the duo. 03:17:26.220 --> 03:17:27.620 That's what I love about 2x, actually. 03:17:27.620 --> 03:17:31.820 I really do love the fact that duo has become way more popular than you expected. 03:17:31.820 --> 03:17:35.580 If you've been watching Evo this weekend, you would have seen on-stream and off-stream 03:17:35.580 --> 03:17:37.980 if you're looking at StarGeeGee or anything else. 03:17:37.980 --> 03:17:41.260 There are so many duos that have been in the tournament, 03:17:41.260 --> 03:17:43.460 and some of them have got quite far. 03:17:43.460 --> 03:17:44.820 Yeah, it's fantastic. 03:17:44.820 --> 03:17:47.700 And also what a amazing story it would be 03:17:47.700 --> 03:17:50.300 should a duo be able to win Evo here in Vegas 03:17:50.300 --> 03:17:52.060 as we take a look at this airhead's aircam. 03:17:52.060 --> 03:17:53.900 Look at these angles, though. 03:17:53.900 --> 03:17:55.740 That's a lot of wristbands. 03:17:55.740 --> 03:17:58.140 Oh yeah, raise your wristbands if you've got them folks. 03:17:58.140 --> 03:18:00.620 It's like a bright sky, but it's only like the morning. 03:18:00.620 --> 03:18:02.740 It's like a concert, you know, the phones going up. 03:18:02.740 --> 03:18:04.980 Yo, there are some serious wristbands. 03:18:04.980 --> 03:18:08.380 Shout out to AirHeads AirCamp, giving us these angles. 03:18:08.380 --> 03:18:10.220 It's been AirHeads being given away for three weeks, 03:18:10.220 --> 03:18:11.820 and they're getting their candy dicks. 03:18:14.980 --> 03:18:17.980 OK, we're getting ready folks. 03:18:17.980 --> 03:18:19.380 Thanks very much for your patience. 03:18:19.380 --> 03:18:21.540 We appreciate you sitting here with us. 03:18:21.540 --> 03:18:24.220 We are entering the late stage. 03:18:24.220 --> 03:18:27.520 We're just getting a little bit of setup now between Mocha and Yikari. 03:18:27.520 --> 03:18:28.840 Ultimately at this time... 03:18:28.840 --> 03:18:32.020 Is that your poli card? Is that your poli card? 03:18:32.020 --> 03:18:35.220 Yo, you're a certified gamer, dude. Let's do it. 03:18:35.220 --> 03:18:38.220 Okay, man, free chip probably. Why not? Who doesn't love free food? 03:18:38.220 --> 03:18:40.220 I love free food. 03:18:40.220 --> 03:18:42.220 That's why I'm bigger than you. 03:18:42.220 --> 03:18:43.720 All right, go on, ketchup. 03:18:43.720 --> 03:18:45.720 The four we got left, well, five, I guess. 03:18:45.720 --> 03:18:47.720 But out of the four teams we've got, out of the four entrants we've got, 03:18:47.720 --> 03:18:49.720 who are you thinking is going to take it? 03:18:49.720 --> 03:18:55.880 My prediction, even during the pre-show that we did on Wednesday with Sonic and In-Zen, 03:18:55.880 --> 03:19:01.560 and I'm sticking to it, I feel like it's not just the fact that you have two absolutely 03:19:01.560 --> 03:19:07.200 world-class players playing on the same duo, it is the fact that it's Evo, it's the Sonic 03:19:07.200 --> 03:19:08.200 Fox factor. 03:19:08.200 --> 03:19:13.400 There is something about this tournament, whether it's something in the air that just 03:19:13.400 --> 03:19:21.160 seems to create back-to-back moments that you can't forget about, whether they 03:19:21.160 --> 03:19:25.300 named the game that Fox has played in, whether it was the many Mortal Kombat 03:19:25.300 --> 03:19:30.360 injustice, whether it was Dragon Ball Fighters, every single one of those top 03:19:30.360 --> 03:19:33.960 eights has something that you take away from it being like that was a godlike 03:19:33.960 --> 03:19:37.800 moment. It's always got Sonic Fox involved and most of the time, if not all 03:19:37.800 --> 03:19:43.520 the time, that tournament Fox wins as well. It's why it's no huge surprise that 03:19:43.520 --> 03:19:48.120 this day and age over the many years, same before Cycfox is currently tied in 03:19:48.120 --> 03:19:53.400 overall EVO wins with just among eight major wins. Eight EVO titles. If Cycfox 03:19:53.400 --> 03:19:57.640 wins this year, wins that one more set they've got left to play alongside 03:19:57.640 --> 03:20:01.760 IMZEM, that's gonna be nine title victories and that's staggering now. 03:20:01.760 --> 03:20:05.200 Who the fuck we can get to that point one day across different games as 03:20:05.200 --> 03:20:10.480 But that's just the nature of it and when you get to this level of play is kind of you know, I suppose 03:20:11.040 --> 03:20:16.360 Status you're playing in front of a crowd of this size with those of you watching at home. It's fantastic 03:20:16.360 --> 03:20:19.760 But it does take so much grit to be able to keep it together 03:20:20.280 --> 03:20:24.700 I actually bring it when the chips are down and that's what we saw the three zero before three zero over super new 03:20:24.700 --> 03:20:27.040 Like who saw that coming? Oh, definitely not me 03:20:27.040 --> 03:20:32.880 Especially with how that first game was going where it was just like super super close very very back and forth again 03:20:32.880 --> 03:20:38.120 Just to remind you folks thank you very much for your patience what we get whatever is happening sorted out at the end of 03:20:38.120 --> 03:20:45.600 The day there's got to be a level of understanding right we are in the late stage of the biggest 2x ko tournament in the world 03:20:46.560 --> 03:20:53.000 You have to make sure everything is right. Yeah, I think there's already they can't go right see devices with buttons being pressed 03:20:53.000 --> 03:20:56.800 So I assume it's all going in the right direction, but hey there's a lot of money 03:20:56.800 --> 03:21:01.040 You know a hundred and thirty five thousand dollars of total prize money in this tournament, right? 03:21:01.040 --> 03:21:05.040 Some of that is EVO contributions, some of that is Riot contributions, you know, 03:21:05.040 --> 03:21:11.040 that means Shats to Riot. There has been a lot of ongoing support amongst different regions, whether it's in-game rewards, incentives, you know, 03:21:11.040 --> 03:21:14.040 where you look, the crowd muster. 03:21:14.040 --> 03:21:19.040 You wouldn't believe this was the first game of the day. I see so many of you. 03:21:19.040 --> 03:21:23.040 You know, how many of you in the crowd intend on being here all day for all the finals? 03:21:23.040 --> 03:21:28.040 I mean, I know you are front. You want to keep the best seats in the house. 03:21:28.040 --> 03:21:34.480 They'll be losing those front rows and then there's the red ball their seats as well. I wish I could sit 03:21:38.520 --> 03:21:45.760 Yeah, true it could be worse as my point stuff complain yeah, I'm too. I'm too Hollywood you see bring me a deluxe game chair, please 03:21:47.920 --> 03:21:51.520 Only a fear from my agent if I had one I can't believe 03:21:51.520 --> 03:22:00.680 We are three days in already, you know, if it was like just yesterday we just started the tournament 03:22:00.680 --> 03:22:06.760 I saw a thousand players going and now only four left. It really is quite crazy how that happens every year 03:22:06.760 --> 03:22:10.760 And I thought we had the same discussion every year too regardless of the game before you know the tournament's over 03:22:10.760 --> 03:22:14.520 Also, I've got a I've got a question for this crowd so many people out there 03:22:14.600 --> 03:22:19.080 Yeah friends people you know that are like I'd go to a tournament like that 03:22:19.080 --> 03:22:24.920 but you know I just I feel like they're too nervous to play in and take part 03:22:24.920 --> 03:22:29.080 because they're worried maybe even show up or show up or whatever else people in 03:22:29.080 --> 03:22:35.720 this crowd give us a yell if you entered at least one tournament this weekend 03:22:36.640 --> 03:22:42.200 get those wristbands raised make yourselves known who's been to EVO 03:22:42.200 --> 03:22:53.060 before. Alright, okay, quiet lock, quiet lock. Who's here at their first Evo? I mean 03:22:53.060 --> 03:22:56.840 that's what you want to know. It is never too late to get involved. You know, if 03:22:56.840 --> 03:23:00.140 you're here, whether it's to play, whether it's to spectate, whether it's to 03:23:00.140 --> 03:23:04.360 get involved in the convention stuff, whatever it is, there's a lot to do and 03:23:04.360 --> 03:23:07.520 a lot to enjoy. And then, you can witness some of the best fighting 03:23:07.520 --> 03:23:12.040 game action in the world. So you could do worse weekends, it's not just 03:23:12.040 --> 03:23:17.080 the stage that we're having this weekend. The convention space is open for the rest of the day as well. 03:23:17.080 --> 03:23:20.440 There's so much activity, so that's what I'm doing when we're done. 03:23:20.440 --> 03:23:24.200 Yeah, we're going to get lunch and then we're going to do some pop-up tournaments. 03:23:24.200 --> 03:23:28.520 We're going to lose the pop-up tournaments. I think our artist Alley spends some money. 03:23:28.520 --> 03:23:32.600 I think our duo of Warwick and Blitz is going to find the meta as we know it. 03:23:32.600 --> 03:23:35.640 I think people are going to assume too much and then they'll see how we play and they'll go, 03:23:36.920 --> 03:23:39.960 really? The twins, they're not really on the same wavelength, are they? 03:23:39.960 --> 03:23:45.320 Now it's good that Haru and Toshi are flying the flag of twins being strong in this game. 03:23:45.320 --> 03:23:50.920 Oh yeah, because we're in the gutter. Yes. Yeah, we are in the trenches of not very good unfortunately. 03:23:50.920 --> 03:23:55.240 I'm a Warwick main. I'm no better than the beasts. That Warwick main has nothing to do with that. 03:23:56.840 --> 03:24:00.520 I can't believe yesterday you made a remark about, when we talk about Chipotle, 03:24:00.520 --> 03:24:04.920 you made a remark about bees. And I'm like, pro, we're not beating the British allegations. 03:24:04.920 --> 03:24:08.680 Hey man, here's what it is. Could have come to a spot like that. 03:24:08.680 --> 03:24:13.120 Well, I tell you what, folks, we are, I believe, about to conclude what's happening here. 03:24:13.120 --> 03:24:16.520 They're doing a button check just to make sure things are a thousand percent ready. 03:24:16.520 --> 03:24:20.520 And when they are, it's going to be Poker versus Akari. 03:24:21.440 --> 03:24:24.240 According to the schedule, it says this will be a best of five as well. 03:24:24.240 --> 03:24:29.520 So top four, best of five, we're getting the big matches to close out the show. 03:24:32.480 --> 03:24:35.200 So, I'm pretty sure, is it normally best of five for top four? 03:24:35.200 --> 03:24:36.840 Oh, it is best of five, it's top confirmation. 03:24:36.840 --> 03:24:39.840 That's what I'm talking about. More games. 03:24:40.840 --> 03:24:44.840 Alright, handshakes through. Thanks for your patience, everybody. 03:24:44.840 --> 03:24:50.840 We're about to get into more 2xKO to the final frontier of Evo 2026. 03:24:54.840 --> 03:25:01.840 Akari is looking to get that second Evo title overall, being our Evo Japan winner. 03:25:01.840 --> 03:25:07.960 And the game has varied as 2xK0, it's rare that you see a complete and utter mirror match 03:25:07.960 --> 03:25:11.720 for whether it's used in character and even order you're looking at it. 03:25:14.440 --> 03:25:19.600 Fidgetly scored there, Hikari finds significant hit on the whip on the break. 03:25:19.600 --> 03:25:23.560 Oh no, break into Happy Birthday, that is the worst! 03:25:23.560 --> 03:25:25.600 It's Mario, that's much good. 03:25:25.600 --> 03:25:28.040 If you can both suck in as Hikari, can they get taken out by this? 03:25:28.040 --> 03:25:31.480 Yeah, Hikari's gone and you're continuing the combo with Hikari! 03:25:31.840 --> 03:25:33.840 Oh my word, and it's straight! 03:25:33.840 --> 03:25:35.120 The shroud is out here, it's just... 03:25:35.120 --> 03:25:38.120 Okay, hang on to the defensive throw, it leaves back to back. 03:25:38.120 --> 03:25:40.640 Okay, oh, can't quite find it! 03:25:40.640 --> 03:25:42.560 Get clipped again! 03:25:42.560 --> 03:25:45.320 Damn, is it just me or was that an instant turnaround on the Aryan? 03:25:45.320 --> 03:25:48.320 I feel like Aryan was strapped his head twice, and that's it, gone. 03:25:48.320 --> 03:25:49.160 Oh, wow! 03:25:49.160 --> 03:25:52.640 Actually managed to move back, does Polka, and keep Hakari on the same side. 03:25:52.640 --> 03:25:54.520 It's always not like Hakari mixed and so on. 03:25:54.520 --> 03:25:55.520 What the fuck? 03:25:55.520 --> 03:25:57.720 It's an easy fight! 03:25:57.720 --> 03:26:01.800 Instant parry, and the two-h for the clean punish. 03:26:01.800 --> 03:26:06.440 That was a pro gamer maneuver, if I've ever seen one, right, Mikari? One round up. 03:26:09.880 --> 03:26:16.440 We're seeing a lot of shrouding things, right? I think having Ari help stuff, it does kind of dis-giv you the horrors of the garbage you need to establish the time. 03:26:16.440 --> 03:26:22.440 I don't know, very dangerous. And one idea, instant break coming out from Mikari, and that's just so common, you'll see it, I can't even see that. 03:26:22.440 --> 03:26:29.000 Break into just running them down. You have any sort of space to work, but she's gonna close that distance so quickly with that new machine. 03:26:29.000 --> 03:26:31.000 I'm not that parried by the way, parried. 03:26:31.000 --> 03:26:33.000 It's the latest League of Fire at our high level. 03:26:33.000 --> 03:26:34.000 Oh, I love that. 03:26:34.000 --> 03:26:35.000 Oh, but still! 03:26:36.000 --> 03:26:38.000 That setup was disgusting. 03:26:39.000 --> 03:26:42.000 Small little details there, like the 2HP block, 03:26:42.000 --> 03:26:44.000 knowing that it's going to get special canceled. 03:26:44.000 --> 03:26:46.000 Ready for the parry there, the bait! 03:26:47.000 --> 03:26:49.000 The side twitch as well, Hikari. 03:26:49.000 --> 03:26:51.000 It's going to turn this into a perfect position. 03:26:51.000 --> 03:26:54.000 Right, limit strike, set up, 03:26:54.000 --> 03:26:55.000 and we meet you with a fist. 03:26:55.000 --> 03:26:56.000 What a play. 03:26:56.000 --> 03:26:57.000 Oh my! 03:26:57.000 --> 03:26:58.000 Good lord! 03:26:59.000 --> 03:27:01.000 That one hurt. 03:27:01.000 --> 03:27:04.000 Sometimes, let's extend. 03:27:04.000 --> 03:27:07.000 Yes indeed, oh we got those three bars 03:27:07.000 --> 03:27:09.000 and we're going to end them. 03:27:09.000 --> 03:27:11.000 Game one goes to Akari. 03:27:11.000 --> 03:27:14.000 Akari looking like four places, not enough. 03:27:14.000 --> 03:27:17.000 Our sightseller now loses finals in Supernoon. 03:27:17.000 --> 03:27:21.000 The one back from EVO Japan awaits, but there's just one game. 03:27:21.000 --> 03:27:23.000 It's the best of five, a little extra game. 03:27:23.000 --> 03:27:25.000 Even though it's a 3-0 in winners finals, 03:27:25.000 --> 03:27:28.000 it does give you that extra time to make those adjustments. 03:27:28.000 --> 03:27:34.240 makes all the difference in the world. Straight up, running it back. Close the 03:27:34.240 --> 03:27:39.200 Carly in the fourth front as well but it will be Hakari securing that first hit. 03:27:39.200 --> 03:27:44.400 Just right set up. Shroud and we meet him. Oh wow, really next. The tag just to be a little bit 03:27:44.400 --> 03:27:47.120 safer. Fantastic reactions are getting away from the command grab at least. 03:27:47.120 --> 03:27:51.280 There's only too much at least. Oh gets hit by the super on the return! 03:27:53.200 --> 03:27:57.360 Uh-oh. Not sure what Moko was looking for there. I mean everyone knows it will come back 03:27:57.360 --> 03:28:03.880 I'm sure posted as well. Maybe you just assumed you could get around it somehow, but you're dead. There's no time to reflect now 03:28:05.360 --> 03:28:10.820 What's on the perfect again is Akari on life bar gone another just straight up anti air poker 03:28:10.820 --> 03:28:12.980 Why an impatient way of trying to get out back on it? 03:28:12.980 --> 03:28:19.480 Just put the instant air dash and Akari says no you don't this entire round has just been thorough and 03:28:20.040 --> 03:28:26.000 Absolute denial as Akari pushes this advantage further. Yo catch up. This is perfect so far 03:28:26.000 --> 03:28:28.480 We're actually going to see the perfect, we're going to see the letters. 03:28:28.480 --> 03:28:32.000 I mean, the tag launch is super with Akali, I'm going to assume we will! 03:28:32.000 --> 03:28:34.000 Ah, it is! 03:28:34.000 --> 03:28:36.000 Perfect! 03:28:38.000 --> 03:28:42.000 And a fantastic way of continuously going, I'll tell you that. 03:28:42.000 --> 03:28:47.000 And we talked about this, the game of momentum, if you get a perfect, that is the number one way to achieve it. 03:28:47.000 --> 03:28:49.000 Akali taking a lot of damage in the back end. 03:28:49.000 --> 03:28:54.000 Not much to be done, if the block strings continue, what can you do to save them? 03:28:54.000 --> 03:28:56.000 Ooh, I like the challenge though. 03:28:56.000 --> 03:28:59.000 Ooh, what a big whipped parry from Hakari. 03:28:59.000 --> 03:29:04.000 It's a very Hakari thing to attempt, so if you've got the testament it looks like 03:29:04.000 --> 03:29:08.000 maybe your zone has a place going to swing it back, immediate parry to stop it, but 03:29:08.000 --> 03:29:13.000 and then the wake-up attack, Hakari does not want to slow down and let Hoga get the ball rolling. 03:29:14.000 --> 03:29:16.000 Bit of a delay button press there. 03:29:17.000 --> 03:29:20.000 Bit of a read possibly or something, grab or something, but either way, 03:29:20.000 --> 03:29:22.000 we're going to press, we're going to challenge. 03:29:22.000 --> 03:29:26.000 And we are more important than anything going to side switch. 03:29:26.000 --> 03:29:28.000 Right, corner time. Time to play. 03:29:28.000 --> 03:29:31.000 You've seen these guys before. One-ish, one-ish. 03:29:31.000 --> 03:29:34.000 But there is anything here from it? No assistance, so... 03:29:34.000 --> 03:29:36.000 Uh-oh! That hurts! 03:29:36.000 --> 03:29:38.000 That hurts so good. 03:29:38.000 --> 03:29:42.000 Now the only thing seemingly keeping Akali alive in the back is the Ahri. 03:29:42.000 --> 03:29:44.000 He's knocked out first. 03:29:44.000 --> 03:29:47.000 Now, the guy's coming in, not much help at all yet. 03:29:47.000 --> 03:29:48.000 He's trying to jump out. 03:29:48.000 --> 03:29:51.000 Hang on, immediately, once the happy birthday to Sakari. 03:29:51.000 --> 03:29:53.400 We've seen big comeback start from much less. 03:29:54.000 --> 03:29:55.300 A lot of damage being done. 03:29:55.800 --> 03:29:56.800 Yeah, it's straight. 03:29:57.100 --> 03:29:58.100 So much more... 03:29:58.100 --> 03:29:59.900 Oh, expensive crab! 03:30:00.100 --> 03:30:02.600 That was definitely the perfect way for Hikari to potentially start. 03:30:02.600 --> 03:30:05.100 I come back, because if you're doing the same damage to both characters, this is... 03:30:05.800 --> 03:30:07.400 Really helping yourself out with Hoka. 03:30:08.800 --> 03:30:09.900 Ooh, hello! 03:30:09.900 --> 03:30:11.200 Star from Hoka! 03:30:11.500 --> 03:30:14.500 These round starts are usually quite committal for Hoka, 03:30:14.500 --> 03:30:16.700 but when they work out, they work out in a big way. 03:30:16.700 --> 03:30:19.700 Oh, that was a cheat, he immediately jumped over. 03:30:19.700 --> 03:30:20.700 Oh, shoot! 03:30:21.000 --> 03:30:24.000 The dash up Harry into instant recovery. 03:30:24.000 --> 03:30:29.000 Okay, not letting this escape deficit fall down. 03:30:31.000 --> 03:30:35.000 Right, we set up the reusable Harry and the run-in throw as well. 03:30:35.000 --> 03:30:39.000 That's gonna be a full combo. The assist is ready to rock. 03:30:39.000 --> 03:30:42.000 We'll be talking about Cove to Cove, so we're gonna see that again. 03:30:42.000 --> 03:30:45.000 Alright, hard knock down. I mean, at that point may as well be an A. 03:30:45.000 --> 03:30:46.000 Almost. 03:30:47.000 --> 03:30:49.000 Oh, there we go. 03:30:49.000 --> 03:30:56.000 Back round for Akari now, he can have the corner, spending the super, that's fine, do as much damage as you can. 03:30:56.000 --> 03:30:59.000 Okay, here's Akari on the set-up. 03:30:59.000 --> 03:31:05.000 Ooh, okay, was that just low? Low is the charge gauge from the REC's perspective. 03:31:05.000 --> 03:31:09.000 Okay, that's gonna do big, big damage. 03:31:09.000 --> 03:31:11.000 Uh-oh, REC, you're late to make. 03:31:11.000 --> 03:31:15.000 Akari left, quite the remaining, but... 03:31:15.000 --> 03:31:17.000 It's gonna scare me out of here. 03:31:17.000 --> 03:31:18.000 Hello, Earthrow. 03:31:18.000 --> 03:31:20.000 You said later on that, Earthrow, actually. 03:31:20.000 --> 03:31:23.000 And the super-resistance, and it's fast, not that it really matters. 03:31:23.000 --> 03:31:24.000 Okay. 03:31:24.000 --> 03:31:26.000 This is a pivotal moment, though, for Poker, 03:31:26.000 --> 03:31:29.000 because if you lose this life bar, you're down two to zero, 03:31:29.000 --> 03:31:33.000 versus being, wow, tied up, one, a piece, none of mine are gonna happen. 03:31:33.000 --> 03:31:35.000 It was so important for Poker to win that round. 03:31:35.000 --> 03:31:37.000 I know it sounds like obvious analysis, 03:31:37.000 --> 03:31:40.000 but the difference between down two, zero, 03:31:40.000 --> 03:31:44.000 and tied one, one, and a best of five is staggering, mentally, 03:31:44.000 --> 03:31:49.800 because it's the difference between one game away from elimination and knowing you've got three games in a row now to get 03:31:49.800 --> 03:31:55.000 versus that little bit of extra kind of safety there that you are granted if you're one game at least. 03:31:55.000 --> 03:31:59.500 But it's not going to happen now. Mkhari looking to work on potentially our second 3-0 of the top eight. 03:31:59.500 --> 03:32:01.500 But will Poker have anything to say about it? 03:32:01.500 --> 03:32:08.000 They want mustard. Everyone knows at this point the mental side of things is the most important aspect of staying on the top of. 03:32:08.000 --> 03:32:14.000 Just keep your focus 2-0 down. If you take it one game at a time, keep your composure. 03:32:14.000 --> 03:32:18.000 All you have to do is constantly see that next win, that next win. 03:32:18.000 --> 03:32:22.000 If you keep doing that, it doesn't matter how far down you are. 03:32:22.000 --> 03:32:24.000 You've got to keep your head in the game. 03:32:24.000 --> 03:32:27.000 At this level of competition, that is easier said than done. 03:32:27.000 --> 03:32:29.000 Oh, come on! 03:32:29.000 --> 03:32:31.000 The Interception! 03:32:31.000 --> 03:32:34.000 And I feel like that's going to be, yeah, big ol' damage! 03:32:34.000 --> 03:32:36.000 And the drill to kill. 03:32:36.000 --> 03:32:41.600 left on her own, but there's a break. It's hard to say what's in there. It is going to be spent. 03:32:41.600 --> 03:32:46.000 Our hearts go out and see if it works out. Unfortunately, we've immediately been there to 03:32:46.000 --> 03:32:50.720 head. You know, we've got to set off into God knows what. I think it was a miss on here into a 03:32:50.720 --> 03:32:53.840 counter hit. Crap, she liked it. Boko was just trying to swing there. 03:32:53.840 --> 03:32:58.160 Connish on the roll. Look, Ari. Yeah, there's the freestyle. Fender scores 03:32:58.160 --> 03:33:01.440 go into a combo. This might even be less about the damage. You're more about just wasting 03:33:01.440 --> 03:33:05.120 that fury time. Fury damage must be going to keep you alive. However, fury's out! 03:33:05.120 --> 03:33:07.120 Like, you've just been level 3 basically! 03:33:07.120 --> 03:33:08.120 Oh, oh! 03:33:08.120 --> 03:33:09.620 Wow, that did bow! 03:33:09.620 --> 03:33:12.620 That also, not only did it stall all the fury timer, 03:33:12.620 --> 03:33:15.120 you built just enough to be level 3! 03:33:15.120 --> 03:33:17.620 Hakari! Hang on a minute! 03:33:17.620 --> 03:33:22.120 That combo would have been way more damage to the looked at world 03:33:22.120 --> 03:33:25.120 as to how much fury was regenerating mid combo. 03:33:25.120 --> 03:33:26.120 In fact, there's more to think about. 03:33:26.120 --> 03:33:28.620 I think there was just a part you get to KO anyway, regardless. 03:33:28.620 --> 03:33:31.120 But Hakari finds it all the same. 03:33:31.120 --> 03:33:32.120 And a catch on Poker. 03:33:32.120 --> 03:33:33.620 Oh! And another counter hit! 03:33:33.620 --> 03:33:40.740 Every time we end up in this close-range kind of, uh, dynamic situation, it's just counting it. 03:33:40.740 --> 03:33:42.740 Poker. Poker is pressing all the time. 03:33:44.240 --> 03:33:48.080 Garry, no doubt has been aware of that cut-up game, one. 03:33:48.080 --> 03:33:51.780 There's a saying a bit that a throat don't fix it, but if you just keep pressing, 03:33:51.780 --> 03:33:53.780 just keep pushing that advantage, 03:33:53.780 --> 03:33:56.780 it gives more and more stressful time to go on immediate break. 03:33:56.780 --> 03:33:58.780 Once again, two pikes. 03:33:58.780 --> 03:34:00.780 Any kind of defensive poker could have taken. 03:34:00.780 --> 03:34:05.180 You finally find a hit. Guess what? Great. Now I'm back in the driver's seat. 03:34:05.180 --> 03:34:11.980 The bully that Mikari is being in this sense and a clean hit with so much fear to play with. 03:34:11.980 --> 03:34:16.060 And this is looking rough for Poker right now at least approaching the theory for the comeback 03:34:16.060 --> 03:34:20.220 potential with the shroud. Woke up with buttons against Poker. We are so animated. 03:34:20.220 --> 03:34:22.380 Yeah, Poker is so animated on defense. 03:34:22.380 --> 03:34:33.380 Okay, what's that? Super assist coming through. Uh-oh, okay, something. Alright, gonna open 03:34:33.380 --> 03:34:39.380 up Ari. It's difficult, we see Poker. Stayed in this tournament by going, oh, never mind! 03:34:39.380 --> 03:34:45.380 Oh dear! It's gonna hurt so much against Akali. Such a low health character to make up for 03:34:45.380 --> 03:34:46.820 Just how crazy she is. 03:34:46.820 --> 03:34:47.820 Can we get hit by Rollin' with three? 03:34:47.820 --> 03:34:48.820 Look at that! 03:34:48.820 --> 03:34:50.820 Oh! 03:34:50.820 --> 03:34:58.380 And a dash up light does the job for Hakari with a 3-0 clean sweep over Poker. 03:34:58.380 --> 03:35:02.820 Yeah, Poker looked very disappointed with that one, but, I mean, yeah. 03:35:02.820 --> 03:35:03.820 You can't blame him. 03:35:03.820 --> 03:35:05.620 That was a set. 03:35:05.620 --> 03:35:11.820 You had to win to stay in, but Hakari is just on a momentum spree right now. 03:35:11.820 --> 03:35:14.140 The Miramaric Lodge of Respect putting it on. 03:35:14.140 --> 03:35:16.140 Give it up for Pocophone. 03:35:16.140 --> 03:35:18.140 Water Journey. 03:35:18.140 --> 03:35:20.140 A quarter performance. 03:35:20.140 --> 03:35:22.140 Get things going as far as possible. 03:35:22.140 --> 03:35:24.140 The Japanese 2XKO. 03:35:24.140 --> 03:35:26.140 They're a very competitive region for good reason. 03:35:26.140 --> 03:35:28.140 Yeah, crowd, let them know. 03:35:30.140 --> 03:35:32.140 The Japanese community here 03:35:32.140 --> 03:35:34.140 is beloved in the world of 2XKO 03:35:34.140 --> 03:35:36.140 and I cannot wait to see what they can cook up. 03:35:36.140 --> 03:35:38.140 Now, let's see. I don't know how much you picked up on these microphones 03:35:38.140 --> 03:35:40.140 but we did get the poker chance coming through. 03:35:40.140 --> 03:35:42.140 That's what we want. 03:35:42.140 --> 03:35:49.140 GG's, GG's poker, but and then there were three as we take a look at these replays 03:35:49.140 --> 03:35:53.660 presented by PlayStation tournaments as it was just from strength to strength 03:35:53.660 --> 03:35:58.140 the young Hikari who still awaits on the stage and Super Dunes to become a group 03:35:58.140 --> 03:36:01.700 these replays will be showing nothing but dominance I think what's more 03:36:01.700 --> 03:36:06.220 important just to talk about is that focus that remains from Hikari this 03:36:06.220 --> 03:36:11.820 job is not finished if you want to be a repeat EVO champion in this game you 03:36:11.820 --> 03:36:13.560 You have to defeat Super Noon. 03:36:13.560 --> 03:36:16.280 Then you have to defeat Sonic and Inzem. 03:36:16.280 --> 03:36:19.560 It is an insane challenge, 03:36:19.560 --> 03:36:22.520 but the focus that Hikari has brought for us 03:36:22.520 --> 03:36:24.800 and feel like it's possible, it could happen. 03:36:24.800 --> 03:36:26.600 Anyone left in this tournament 03:36:26.600 --> 03:36:29.200 has a good chance of taking it all away. 03:36:29.200 --> 03:36:32.400 Yeah, it's hard to bet against the duo right now, 03:36:32.400 --> 03:36:35.400 but Hikari with the dominance we saw there, 03:36:35.400 --> 03:36:36.600 that war level, but even there, 03:36:36.600 --> 03:36:39.320 the dash up standing like interrupt, you know? 03:36:39.320 --> 03:36:41.800 That was kind of the story of that entire final match. 03:36:41.800 --> 03:36:45.420 It was just, I thought, near enough everything Hikari pressed in the situations was a count on him. 03:36:45.420 --> 03:36:48.380 Because Poker on defense just was, again, very animated. 03:36:48.380 --> 03:36:52.140 You know, always wanted to get something going, but just Hikari one step ahead. 03:36:52.140 --> 03:36:54.960 Ho, ho, ho.

An absolutely iconic moment. You said it earlier, and we'll say it again. 03:43:23.140 --> 03:43:35.140 There can only ever be one first-ever Evo Vegas champion for a new game, and this tournament has had every world-class player for the most part, in attendance. 03:43:35.140 --> 03:43:38.140 Yeah, it has been as competitive as we've won. 03:43:38.140 --> 03:43:42.140 Bro, you're looking to be a champion amongst champions in this top three. 03:43:44.140 --> 03:43:50.140 Okay, losers' finals here we go. Only a few matches left before we are complete. 03:43:51.140 --> 03:43:55.140 Unfortunately, only one can go on, it makes me so sad to say, but that really is the truth. 03:43:55.140 --> 03:44:01.140 The storyline to the ever-ending crowd, if you're out there, let's make some noise for our top three, 03:44:01.140 --> 03:44:05.140 Supernoon in the car now engaged. 03:44:09.140 --> 03:44:12.140 But in a patient's start, some good defense on both sides. 03:44:12.140 --> 03:44:16.140 It's all about landing that first critical hit that you can convert from. 03:44:16.140 --> 03:44:19.140 In this case, we immediately go for our throw. 03:44:19.140 --> 03:44:21.140 And the driver's seat belongs to Supernoon. 03:44:21.140 --> 03:44:23.140 Limit strike, set up, the chase down. 03:44:23.140 --> 03:44:29.140 And the challenge immediately forces the break out of the raining Evo Japan champion. 03:44:29.140 --> 03:44:33.140 Oh huge jumping mode! Practically full screen. 03:44:33.140 --> 03:44:37.140 Just gonna get a carry, getting this coast to coast effect. 03:44:37.140 --> 03:44:43.140 So much point carry in that setup. I like the fact that, before I was showing you that, oh again, 03:44:43.140 --> 03:44:47.140 if you stay point blank in that setup, it's never not that easy. If you distance it a little bit, 03:44:47.140 --> 03:44:51.140 you kind of miss up the timing. 03:44:51.140 --> 03:44:56.140 Alright, tag launch. See what we get from this. 03:44:56.140 --> 03:45:00.140 Can you finish your colleagues as Akali?

And we'll do the same to conclude this set. 03:55:53.540 --> 03:55:59.540 And now we are down to one more set. 03:56:00.540 --> 03:56:03.540 Well, losers' finals, and that's how it's going to go. 03:56:03.540 --> 03:56:05.540 Vakari staying alive, Supernoon. 03:56:05.540 --> 03:56:11.540 Unfortunately, unable to get that grand finals, but, I mean, we're talking consistency. 03:56:11.540 --> 03:56:15.540 Very few players are as in that top three conversation as Supernoon. 03:56:15.540 --> 03:56:18.540 We've got to say give it up for Supernoon folks. 03:56:18.540 --> 03:56:20.540 Made it into this top eight. 03:56:20.540 --> 03:56:24.540 Un-defeated, this was one hell of a challenge. 03:56:24.540 --> 03:56:29.540 And like I said, this is the first year Evo Vegas 2xKO. 03:56:29.540 --> 03:56:34.540 We already know that this game is going to be at Evo France. 03:56:34.540 --> 03:56:39.540 I'm sure we're going to be seeing the journey of these players continue in noon. 03:56:39.540 --> 03:56:42.540 I mean, surely he's going to have to be in the next round. 03:56:42.540 --> 03:56:43.540 Absolutely. 03:56:43.540 --> 03:56:45.540 This is going to be a Super Nudes tournament. 03:56:45.540 --> 03:56:48.540 I'm just doing a talk about consistency. 03:56:48.540 --> 03:56:51.540 Third place being a uncharacteristically low placement. 03:56:52.540 --> 03:56:55.540 Yeah, I mean, it's impressive. 03:56:55.540 --> 03:56:56.540 It still is. 03:56:56.540 --> 03:56:59.540 There's no other word for it, but Akari. 03:56:59.540 --> 03:57:01.540 As soon as Akari got knocked into Loser's Bracket, 03:57:01.540 --> 03:57:04.540 it has just been so locked in, 03:57:04.540 --> 03:57:07.540 but you have to be, because who is awaiting 03:57:07.540 --> 03:57:10.540 the one-side other than Saltcloth? 03:57:10.540 --> 03:57:18.540 And we end our replays here presented by PlayStation Tournaments. 03:57:18.540 --> 03:57:23.540 I'd like to point out Sonic Fox and Inza are taking their seats. 03:57:23.540 --> 03:57:27.540 We are moments away from this grand finals. 03:57:27.540 --> 03:57:30.540 There are so many thanks and challenges to begin with. 03:57:30.540 --> 03:57:36.540 I'd like to let everybody know, let's remind you, there will be an announcement after grand finals. 03:57:36.540 --> 03:57:41.860 finals so we're gonna get to crown a champion or champions and we're gonna 03:57:41.860 --> 03:57:45.740 get an announcement at the end this is just a gift that keeps on giving thank 03:57:45.740 --> 03:57:51.660 you to riot the evo staff everyone watching at home the lovely crowd we 03:57:51.660 --> 03:58:01.780 have here right now before we go into this grand finals as well you know it 03:58:01.780 --> 03:58:05.020 is evil and there's a lot of viewers out there who just make sure to watch 03:58:05.020 --> 03:58:10.020 Maybe it's your first time watching a tournament. Let us very quickly break this down. Grand finals. 03:58:10.020 --> 03:58:14.020 Sonic Fox and Inzem are in the winners bracket as they have not lost a set yet. 03:58:14.020 --> 03:58:19.020 So they have to win one best of five. Ikari is coming into the grand finals from the losers bracket. 03:58:19.020 --> 03:58:25.020 We'll have to win a best of five in grand finals, effectively sending Sonic Fox and Inzem to the losers bracket, 03:58:25.020 --> 03:58:28.020 resetting things and we'll then have to play another best of five. 03:58:28.020 --> 03:58:33.020 So the short of it is Sonic Fox and Inzem, they've got to win one best of five. Ikari's got to do it twice. 03:58:33.020 --> 03:58:39.020 but the stone faced the commitment, the focus, 03:58:39.020 --> 03:58:44.520 Ikari has been locked into that path of Grand Finals. 03:58:44.520 --> 03:58:49.020 I don't think Ikari gives a damn that he's gonna have to win twice 03:58:49.020 --> 03:58:52.020 because if it has to be done to win, so be it. 03:58:52.020 --> 03:58:54.520 Yeah, these players, they're grinding hundreds of matches a day. 03:58:54.520 --> 03:58:57.020 What's next to three? You know what I'm saying? Or six? 03:58:57.020 --> 03:59:00.020 Either way, it's gonna be done. 03:59:00.020 --> 03:59:08.020 But what a fitting grand final, you know, the pinnacle of competitive 2XKO in arguably, 03:59:08.020 --> 03:59:13.020 well I say arguably at this point, it's hard to deny, the best duo in the game, Sonic Fox and Inzem, 03:59:13.020 --> 03:59:21.520 and maybe the best solo player in Hikari, does it get any better than this to showcase what a high level 2XKO is all about? 03:59:21.520 --> 03:59:28.020 While we get set up and they're getting their buttons checked and we prepare for the last time of this 2XKO top 8, 03:59:28.020 --> 03:59:31.020 You lovely people in the crowd. 03:59:31.020 --> 03:59:36.020 If you like, Hikari, let them know right now! 03:59:40.020 --> 03:59:44.020 And the stand-out, who's got Sonic Box and Insan? 03:59:48.020 --> 03:59:50.020 Intensity stage. 03:59:50.020 --> 03:59:52.020 It all comes down to this. 03:59:52.020 --> 03:59:56.020 Grand Finals, one more match to decide 03:59:56.020 --> 04:00:01.020 Who is the best 2xKO competitor on planet Earth? 04:00:01.020 --> 04:00:05.020 The best duo and the best sub duo. 04:00:05.020 --> 04:00:07.020 A perfect story. 04:00:07.020 --> 04:00:09.020 Look at this crowd. 04:00:09.020 --> 04:00:12.020 They have three wonderful best seats in the house. 04:00:12.020 --> 04:00:14.020 They really do look like some nice seats. 04:00:14.020 --> 04:00:15.020 I can't lie to you. 04:00:15.020 --> 04:00:17.020 What a morning. 04:00:17.020 --> 04:00:20.020 You're making this jet lagged British fan very happy. 04:00:20.020 --> 04:00:22.020 But obviously, as I was saying before, 04:00:22.020 --> 04:00:25.020 the intensity shown on stage, these competitors, 04:00:25.020 --> 04:00:32.740 It means so much to them and they are both so close they can taste it one mere set away from being crowned 04:00:33.900 --> 04:00:35.900 World champion and is this it? 04:00:41.460 --> 04:00:45.540 Okay, I'm assuming so here we go looks like we're gonna be jumping in I'm sure 04:00:49.340 --> 04:00:51.500 Finals make some noise 04:00:55.020 --> 04:00:57.260 to the beat in them on the Teemo! 04:00:57.260 --> 04:00:59.780 Hakari with the Teemo Bakali and Ari! 04:00:59.780 --> 04:01:01.060 That's a tongue twister. 04:01:02.060 --> 04:01:03.660 Let's get this show on the road. 04:01:04.020 --> 04:01:06.860 I love, again, we're talking almost like a before-speeds, 04:01:06.860 --> 04:01:07.740 a moveable object. 04:01:07.740 --> 04:01:08.980 This is that dynamic. 04:01:08.980 --> 04:01:10.900 Ari and Akali, especially Akali, 04:01:10.900 --> 04:01:11.740 you wanna get in there, 04:01:11.740 --> 04:01:13.300 you wanna be doing some craziness, 04:01:13.300 --> 04:01:14.260 get that corner. 04:01:14.900 --> 04:01:16.420 And just, you know, 04:01:16.420 --> 04:01:18.260 the worst kind of things for your opponent, 04:01:18.260 --> 04:01:19.060 the Teemo Jigs, 04:01:19.060 --> 04:01:20.740 they wanna establish that neutral, 04:01:20.740 --> 04:01:22.940 fill the screen as much as possible, 04:01:22.940 --> 04:01:24.820 to take as much of the chip damage here and there, 04:01:24.820 --> 04:01:27.980 build the resources over the computer as little as possible. 04:01:27.980 --> 04:01:32.580 It's going to be dynamic. The benefit of playing as a duo is having that kind of... 04:01:32.580 --> 04:01:37.820 Two pairs of eyes just analysing the game where there is assists and everything that comes with it. 04:01:37.820 --> 04:01:43.180 You may have noticed Akari is a very aggressive player, not afraid to wait and pick his moments, however. 04:01:43.180 --> 04:01:49.180 He's going to have to do that against this team. Timo and Jinx control so much of the screen combined, 04:01:49.180 --> 04:01:51.180 but they're having a birthday. 04:01:51.180 --> 04:01:57.180 We're going to punish this Teemo hard, get ourselves a corner. 04:01:57.180 --> 04:02:05.180 Wait a minute, a little bit of unfortunate business there and the damage is good on the back end. 04:02:05.180 --> 04:02:07.180 Here comes Sonic Fox, making this one. 04:02:07.180 --> 04:02:12.180 Okay, we're playing no game, we're taking damage and we're killing the character. 04:02:14.180 --> 04:02:15.180 Wow, Akali has gone. 04:02:15.180 --> 04:02:17.580 Karly has gone. I was surprised, I suppose. 04:02:17.580 --> 04:02:20.180 They're doing so much damage and now it's Soho, Ari. 04:02:20.180 --> 04:02:23.780 We've seen her Karly do it before, but make sure she's in control. 04:02:25.780 --> 04:02:27.780 Ooh, okay, good jumpy damage on these jinx. 04:02:27.780 --> 04:02:30.580 And there we go, Teemo, getting hit by the dive bomb. 04:02:30.580 --> 04:02:34.380 And Karly not slowing down, and suddenly is in the lead. 04:02:35.580 --> 04:02:38.780 Oh, well, it takes us one good hit. 04:02:38.780 --> 04:02:40.580 Now, because that level 3 was spent on it, 04:02:40.580 --> 04:02:45.580 The barb isn't going to have anything to convert with besides traditional meal and salad. 04:02:45.580 --> 04:02:47.580 But you are going to have a super assist of Teemo. 04:02:47.580 --> 04:02:50.580 There's a lot of comm-mogramming though, the hits done the case. 04:02:50.580 --> 04:02:52.580 Oh, there it is again. 04:02:52.580 --> 04:02:53.580 Oh wow, okay, I love that choice. 04:02:53.580 --> 04:02:56.580 Just sniping Teemo out of the air, putting the stops there, super assist. 04:02:56.580 --> 04:02:58.580 Oh, comes out! 04:02:58.580 --> 04:03:00.580 I'm sorry because I'm blocking a big barb. 04:03:00.580 --> 04:03:01.580 There we go, Hakari. 04:03:01.580 --> 04:03:02.580 What a choice. 04:03:02.580 --> 04:03:04.580 Okay, no me fit to parry that either. 04:03:04.580 --> 04:03:07.580 So that projectile was so sweet. 04:03:07.580 --> 04:03:14.380 Okay, there's a catch in. I'm quite able to get full pickups against establishing the 04:03:14.380 --> 04:03:18.280 screen, control of the space. Build those back into a T-Mode. It's going to get so scary 04:03:18.280 --> 04:03:23.580 with those back into the builds. Of course, looks for a cheat to grab there. 04:03:23.580 --> 04:03:26.580 Kari with the jump back though, but the method is clear. It's not afraid to enforce 04:03:26.580 --> 04:03:32.580 it. But on the other side, here comes Akari. He's setting this up super. 04:03:32.580 --> 04:03:39.580 Oh defensive assist is good though. Oh no he's doing it! 04:03:39.580 --> 04:03:46.580 Oh Timo taking my damage here. Wait Timo, how weak. 04:03:46.580 --> 04:03:52.580 One down low for Kari getting a shroud on screen which means the secret department is so difficult to defend their game. 04:03:52.580 --> 04:03:57.580 And it's not going to work out Timo. Getting eliminated in the back cheeks taking all this damage. 04:03:57.580 --> 04:04:01.580 You get put straight back in the situation again. Limit strength, that's the shroud. 04:04:01.580 --> 04:04:04.260 There's the assist. You're not going anywhere, my friend. 04:04:04.260 --> 04:04:05.260 There is the hit. 04:04:05.260 --> 04:04:09.540 And if Akari can finish this off, taking game number one here, 04:04:09.540 --> 04:04:11.860 that is a message to send. 04:04:11.860 --> 04:04:14.460 That is not only game one in Grand Finals, 04:04:14.460 --> 04:04:18.180 but a dominant one to boot. 04:04:18.180 --> 04:04:21.220 You may have been looking real good up until Grand Finals, 04:04:21.220 --> 04:04:24.660 but you haven't fought me. 04:04:24.660 --> 04:04:28.100 Akari, you said it was just laser focused. 04:04:28.100 --> 04:04:29.100 Mr. Ford. 04:04:31.580 --> 04:04:37.740 Doing the best but the seemingly long buttons of a Carly so good at catching you with your 04:04:37.740 --> 04:04:38.740 least bit. 04:04:38.740 --> 04:04:40.900 Well, especially that 5-H in the air, right? 04:04:40.900 --> 04:04:44.640 It's so active, it has such a great hitbox on it, it's fantastic to convert with those 04:04:44.640 --> 04:04:45.640 air to air. 04:04:45.640 --> 04:04:48.700 And air to airs will be important against characters like Jigs and Teemo, they're hard 04:04:48.700 --> 04:04:49.700 to pin down. 04:04:49.700 --> 04:04:52.580 Because they're used to kind of doing what they want, they're really nice, because 04:04:52.580 --> 04:04:55.340 they have stuff on the screen, you have to respect, watch out! 04:04:55.340 --> 04:04:59.860 Yeah, speak out of respect, how about that, an immediate break, you want to hold 04:04:59.860 --> 04:05:00.860 no damage. 04:05:00.860 --> 04:05:02.860 Look at that. 04:05:02.860 --> 04:05:04.860 Turning it around, just wanna carry. 04:05:04.860 --> 04:05:05.860 Uh-oh. 04:05:05.860 --> 04:05:06.860 Whoopsie. 04:05:06.860 --> 04:05:08.860 That was thanks for giving me a carry. 04:05:08.860 --> 04:05:10.860 A lot more work in speaking with you. 04:05:10.860 --> 04:05:13.860 Yeah, you wanna get three motions on the screen. 04:05:13.860 --> 04:05:14.860 Listen to clear the board. 04:05:14.860 --> 04:05:17.860 I guess execution was really nice on the parry. 04:05:17.860 --> 04:05:22.860 The dash unfortunately could not turn the anti-air into a substantial combo. 04:05:22.860 --> 04:05:23.860 But wait, Jinx. 04:05:23.860 --> 04:05:24.860 Find the hit. 04:05:24.860 --> 04:05:25.860 We keep seeing that though. 04:05:25.860 --> 04:05:27.860 Jinx goes in with those long range of hatches. 04:05:27.860 --> 04:05:29.860 And Tino just does not have the lead to pick up from them. 04:05:29.860 --> 04:05:31.200 These leads could come from them. 04:05:31.200 --> 04:05:32.700 And again, it's not about getting forward. 04:05:32.700 --> 04:05:34.360 It's about getting something that you can believe 04:05:34.360 --> 04:05:35.900 during the bit is steady. 04:05:35.900 --> 04:05:39.860 But the old shoe ball, out, blocked on the hip was bad. 04:05:43.860 --> 04:05:44.860 It's a good step for him. 04:05:44.860 --> 04:05:45.860 He's got the end act to have. 04:05:45.860 --> 04:05:47.860 And he's getting super neutralized 04:05:47.860 --> 04:05:49.860 at any projectiles on the floor. 04:05:49.860 --> 04:05:51.860 Greatest in our real estate, never Hikari. 04:05:51.860 --> 04:05:54.860 He was now using that Akali to enforce the advantage. 04:05:54.860 --> 04:05:56.860 Good block on the low attack. 04:05:56.860 --> 04:06:01.860 and Karli taking heavy down and trippling the champ and now the Timo to punish! 04:06:01.860 --> 04:06:07.860 It felt like Karli just body lost that entire sequence as Timo found a hit on Ari anyway. 04:06:07.860 --> 04:06:10.860 Finish this combo as you can, yeah, does not spin bar. 04:06:10.860 --> 04:06:13.860 In fact, builds more each with a little bit of strike end. 04:06:13.860 --> 04:06:16.860 There's much more waiting to see that in there. 04:06:16.860 --> 04:06:19.860 Alright, that was a really patient game. 04:06:19.860 --> 04:06:21.860 Just avoid as much damage as possible. 04:06:21.860 --> 04:06:23.860 We have 20 seconds on the clock! 04:06:23.860 --> 04:06:29.260 Ah, beer. This combo is going to take a good chunk of time, and Teemo is going to take 04:06:29.260 --> 04:06:33.860 these adaptions as well. We're going to have that set up now. Ten seconds to go. 04:06:33.860 --> 04:06:35.860 Oh, I'm not running. I'm running. I'm running. I'm running. 04:06:35.860 --> 04:06:39.860 We're chasing. Open up, ask and jump. We couldn't get anything from it. 04:06:39.860 --> 04:06:43.860 Wait a minute. Wait. Teemo getting hit in the back. Even if this goes to timeout, 04:06:43.860 --> 04:06:46.860 Teemo getting hit means the timeout's going to be good for Hikari. 04:06:46.860 --> 04:06:50.860 Wait a minute. No! No, no, no, no, no. I don't think we have time. 04:06:50.860 --> 04:06:52.860 I don't think we have time! 04:06:52.860 --> 04:06:54.860 Yeah, it's alright, it's alright. 04:06:54.860 --> 04:06:56.860 Oh my goodness! 04:06:56.860 --> 04:07:00.860 Oh no, it won't function like your standard suit. 04:07:00.860 --> 04:07:02.860 Your standard level 3. 04:07:02.860 --> 04:07:06.860 It comes out, but then it does not interrupt the game in any way. 04:07:06.860 --> 04:07:10.860 But the fact that, again with that activated, 04:07:10.860 --> 04:07:13.860 the car was just going for as much a chip as possible. 04:07:13.860 --> 04:07:15.860 All because Timo got hit in the back. 04:07:15.860 --> 04:07:18.860 How quickly the pendulum could shift to 2xKO. 04:07:18.860 --> 04:07:29.360 I think that's why Hikari was just dedicated to level 3 on block. He must have absolutely known there's nothing you can do that is actually going to take enough damage from each level. 04:07:29.360 --> 04:07:37.360 But what a decision to make, right? In the heat of the moment, it could backfire, but that's the knowledge that will grow level knowledge. 04:07:37.360 --> 04:07:57.360 And look at this, a Ken in the Mentum just does not stop Okari, fearless, fearless monsters, that's the word to do here, but opting to keep the break, so that they're saving him for a potential sun and fox comeback, the theory is going to be ready, jinx, I know I've said this before, but is a fantastic comeback character? 04:07:57.360 --> 04:08:09.360 It does have the tools, but has to pop that theory immediately, however, and the car will be able to play as well, be full, light characters, which is really depressed, the tag will be mixed. 04:08:09.360 --> 04:08:16.360 Push the clock as well, good awareness there from Inzem, just because you are down now, does not mean you cannot interact and save your duo partner. 04:08:16.360 --> 04:08:20.360 The thing is, those nightrocks are okay there, there's the air strike hole, it falls out of it. 04:08:20.360 --> 04:08:25.360 Okay, it was able to stay alive, but basically got nothing off of that eerie activation. 04:08:25.360 --> 04:08:28.360 Now this could be much more of an honest comeback. 04:08:28.360 --> 04:08:30.360 Back to me, still possible. 04:08:30.360 --> 04:08:32.360 There's the air strike once again. 04:08:32.360 --> 04:08:33.360 Oh wow, cut. 04:08:33.360 --> 04:08:34.360 Oh man! 04:08:34.360 --> 04:08:35.360 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 04:08:35.360 --> 04:08:36.360 Just like that, Ari is gone. 04:08:36.360 --> 04:08:38.360 We're now one character, Beastman. 04:08:38.360 --> 04:08:40.360 Ari is sitting on lots of meter and access to fury. 04:08:40.360 --> 04:08:42.360 That's not right, it's been fury. 04:08:42.360 --> 04:08:44.360 Seven, three, four, the fury's been popped. 04:08:44.360 --> 04:08:46.360 We have dashcats available. 04:08:46.360 --> 04:08:47.360 The first ones to get executed. 04:08:47.360 --> 04:08:49.360 Twist the team out into the throat. 04:08:49.360 --> 04:08:50.360 It was viewed. 04:08:50.360 --> 04:08:51.360 Oh! 04:08:51.360 --> 04:08:52.360 That's like Ari. 04:08:52.360 --> 04:08:53.360 Sonic Bob does manage to find the hit however. 04:08:53.360 --> 04:08:54.360 What are we gonna do now? 04:08:54.360 --> 04:08:58.360 We're going to set up and create that distance, we're going to try and waste that fury time. 04:08:58.360 --> 04:09:01.360 The next hit, by all means, should win the game. Two level 3s. 04:09:03.360 --> 04:09:06.360 Sonic Fox, the patient's just holding down back. 04:09:06.360 --> 04:09:08.360 There comes Teemo! Wait a minute, is this going to pick up? 04:09:08.360 --> 04:09:10.360 Wait, no way! It might not! 04:09:10.360 --> 04:09:12.360 No way! It might not! 04:09:12.360 --> 04:09:14.360 It does! 04:09:14.360 --> 04:09:15.360 What a confirm! 04:09:15.360 --> 04:09:21.360 It's a win with the Claude Super Assistant, Sonic Fox, with the instant pickup on the level 3. 04:09:21.360 --> 04:09:23.360 That looks like a crane one hit confirmed. 04:09:23.360 --> 04:09:26.800 You barely had time to even see the Teemo was there! 04:09:26.800 --> 04:09:29.800 Yeah, that was duo play right there. That's what that was. 04:09:29.800 --> 04:09:33.300 Oh, that is absolute synergy. 04:09:33.300 --> 04:09:36.800 And then some look at what they're working with now. 04:09:36.800 --> 04:09:38.840 Off the back of that, it's Hakari on the back, 04:09:38.840 --> 04:09:41.340 so again, mix and corner, all of this chip damage. 04:09:41.340 --> 04:09:42.340 Oh my goodness. 04:09:42.340 --> 04:09:44.340 It doesn't even matter that you're not getting hit! 04:09:44.340 --> 04:09:46.340 Oh, that was a devious fan of chip damage, 04:09:46.340 --> 04:09:48.340 but Hakari does manage to fight a hit. 04:09:48.340 --> 04:09:52.340 I partly took a beating, but at least has loads of great life to get back. 04:09:52.340 --> 04:10:03.060 A bit of a frame kill in the setup, he rocks that now, the team on the back end is taking 04:10:03.060 --> 04:10:06.900 some pretty heavy damage down to about third life remaining. 04:10:06.900 --> 04:10:14.380 Absolutely rocks though, there's events, it's just absolutely rock solid, cannot be opened 04:10:14.380 --> 04:10:17.860 up, he trained these overheads, he trained these empty loads, nothing's going to work 04:10:17.860 --> 04:10:18.860 all he can do is throw. 04:10:18.860 --> 04:10:22.580 But by the time the throw comes out, there's no assistance to make it mean anything. 04:10:22.580 --> 04:10:25.820 Hey, but this is the important thing, you can defend all that till the cows come home. 04:10:25.820 --> 04:10:28.540 If you still go over to the bench, they're still achieving the same thing. 04:10:28.540 --> 04:10:30.620 And now Hukari very much still in the driver's seat. 04:10:30.620 --> 04:10:32.300 Can't extend from this though, unfortunately. 04:10:32.300 --> 04:10:33.300 Now it's Inzem. 04:10:33.300 --> 04:10:35.300 But Yusse has fantastic event for Jinx. 04:10:35.300 --> 04:10:37.300 Ooh, takes a lot of damage here. 04:10:37.300 --> 04:10:39.300 Inzem getting opened up, and uh-oh! 04:10:39.300 --> 04:10:44.100 Sonic Fox now has to do another Jinx comeback scenario with a lot less to work with. 04:10:44.100 --> 04:10:46.100 He's got the meter, sure, but not the hell! 04:10:46.100 --> 04:10:48.740 Which is the most important meter of all! 04:10:48.740 --> 04:10:54.220 Let's carry two zero wait a minute one game away from a bracket reset 04:10:54.500 --> 04:10:57.540 You know a crowd you reckon we're getting a reset here 04:11:07.140 --> 04:11:12.340 Hey to zero deficit it's still advantage, you know, sorry folks then it's a bit the grand scheme of things 04:11:12.340 --> 04:11:15.740 They are still ahead in the set right they can afford to be sent to losers 04:11:15.740 --> 04:11:22.540 All that will happen is, I reset at 0-0, so the car still has a lot to do, but what's the way of doing it? 04:11:22.540 --> 04:11:24.540 The momentum shifts. 04:11:25.540 --> 04:11:28.040 And especially with the back of that Cyclox, I'm at 2. 04:11:29.540 --> 04:11:36.040 Alright, I'm shatable. I was a lovely little pick up there. I can't lie, I'm the fearless wake-up for the car. 04:11:38.540 --> 04:11:43.540 Just in time, I really wasn't sure if I'd actually see going at the deep there, but either way, 04:11:43.540 --> 04:11:51.540 Turn around here. You may be almost dead, but as long as you're able to press those buttons and tags, you can still make magic things happen, especially if you put them in the corner. 04:11:53.540 --> 04:11:55.540 But we are reacting. 04:11:55.540 --> 04:11:56.540 Level 1. 04:11:56.540 --> 04:12:00.540 And try to avoid all the small mushrooms, obviously the big one's going to go through, but... 04:12:01.540 --> 04:12:03.540 Well, it comes to Karling. 04:12:03.540 --> 04:12:08.540 On the back end of the heavy load has been the magic choice for the Garry. 04:12:08.540 --> 04:12:11.540 Stop it long. It's so hard to see. 04:12:13.540 --> 04:12:21.500 Yeah, pick up the car. Do you see this usual block? Yeah, keep it as simple as possible spend the meter get rid of the jinx and now Timo 04:12:21.820 --> 04:12:23.820 stuck solo 04:12:24.020 --> 04:12:27.940 The man this this is what we're expecting to see. Sorry got sent into losers 04:12:28.540 --> 04:12:31.340 We're breaking our top 24 territory and there's just been 04:12:32.540 --> 04:12:34.140 possessed ever since 04:12:34.140 --> 04:12:38.940 The mission is there Timo just sitting in the shroud like shaking the water mission. It's so sad 04:12:40.020 --> 04:12:41.520 I mean oh 04:12:41.520 --> 04:12:44.480 Ooh, we're taking a lot of damage too, the Super Assist! 04:12:44.480 --> 04:12:48.880 Oh no! Absolutely SHUT down! 04:12:48.880 --> 04:12:51.680 And that's it, Pat. Lord, wow, God! 04:12:51.680 --> 04:12:57.760 And thank you very much. Bring me into a RESET point, says Ikari. 04:12:57.760 --> 04:13:00.560 One round to go. Do we see the reset? 04:13:00.560 --> 04:13:03.200 Or are the two gonna bring it back? 04:13:03.200 --> 04:13:08.880 He says for Ikari, no stranger to this situation in general, at high level. 04:13:08.880 --> 04:13:16.880 The absolute comfort, Hakari, they've been so set in his place. The defense has been impeccable. 04:13:16.880 --> 04:13:22.880 There's the patience in neutral, just looking for that one moment and my word just running away with it. 04:13:28.880 --> 04:13:31.880 That neutral coverage, this is against this. The team is still just new. 04:13:31.880 --> 04:13:37.880 I feel like Hakari is doing such a good job navigating. I feel like Aria is actually spending most of the time in front because of this right here. 04:13:37.880 --> 04:13:40.880 Aari is much better, I think, as the point character, 04:13:40.880 --> 04:13:44.380 at getting through this kind of projectile, which is light field. 04:13:44.380 --> 04:13:46.880 And then when you actually do get in, it's time to bring in Akali, 04:13:46.880 --> 04:13:49.380 and then you know, get the knockdowns and the travel out. 04:13:49.380 --> 04:13:52.880 I mean, that offends his layers upon layers though, isn't it? 04:13:52.880 --> 04:13:54.380 There's so much to worry about. 04:13:54.380 --> 04:13:55.880 You block the mix up, and then even then, 04:13:55.880 --> 04:13:57.880 you got to worry about strike throws, 04:13:57.880 --> 04:14:00.380 possibly the assist to come out from the back end. 04:14:00.380 --> 04:14:04.380 Akari, so patient. 04:14:04.380 --> 04:14:07.380 For the light fleet, there's no need to really overextend at the moment. 04:14:07.880 --> 04:14:10.280 The 60 seconds on the clock, what's the rush? 04:14:16.680 --> 04:14:19.480 Oh wow, Enzo actually choosing to go completely in? 04:14:20.080 --> 04:14:22.480 Practically running down from full screen. 04:14:23.680 --> 04:14:26.280 Trying to chase down, okay, Enzo maybe getting a bit more aggressive now. 04:14:26.480 --> 04:14:28.280 Oh what a air two air! 04:14:28.280 --> 04:14:30.480 Enzo confirmed two, goodbye, Akali. 04:14:30.880 --> 04:14:33.080 Yeah, Enzo really kind of changing gears there. 04:14:33.080 --> 04:14:39.920 However, this is still going to be Ari with the access to that Akari Super Assist, where 04:14:39.920 --> 04:14:42.280 that strike throw game becomes a little bit more devastating. 04:14:42.280 --> 04:14:48.680 Alright, that was quite quite a place to support it with. 04:14:48.680 --> 04:14:49.680 Before they get skipped from there. 04:14:49.680 --> 04:14:50.680 Oh wow! 04:14:50.680 --> 04:14:51.680 Straight up rolls away! 04:14:51.680 --> 04:14:56.680 The break wall was that mushroom, putting up that barrier to shy it down, however. 04:14:56.680 --> 04:14:57.680 Oh what a 3-empty punch! 04:14:57.680 --> 04:15:00.080 And there will not be a pure activation here. 04:15:00.080 --> 04:15:01.080 Akari knows. 04:15:01.080 --> 04:15:05.560 still have another round to work with. We can save that break and that break could come 04:15:05.560 --> 04:15:10.680 in real handy in the starless next round. However, it remains reset point for the Kari 04:15:10.680 --> 04:15:18.480 at the moment. The difference is night and day though. As soon as they are able to pull 04:15:18.480 --> 04:15:23.760 up this neutral, that's a huge, it looks so bad. The big thing about this loading 04:15:23.760 --> 04:15:27.400 number is that it really doesn't result in a huge amount of chip unless you can 04:15:27.400 --> 04:15:32.040 start to chain those together. The gordic hurray can stay on the absolute furthest away on the screen. 04:15:32.040 --> 04:15:36.440 Allow the trapper to miss, jump over those missiles. He's taking such little damage, 04:15:36.440 --> 04:15:40.520 but there's the break. Wightly saved from the last round. On the back of this challenge, 04:15:40.520 --> 04:15:43.560 do some box. Found a gap for a standing light and took it. 04:15:45.240 --> 04:15:51.080 Mate, that air creamer is such a cheeky challenge. There are so many options from it! 04:15:51.080 --> 04:15:54.080 All right, set up. 04:15:54.080 --> 04:15:56.080 The patient put no. 04:15:56.080 --> 04:15:57.080 We're opened up. 04:15:57.080 --> 04:16:00.080 We'll be caught when the breaker has been forced. 04:16:00.080 --> 04:16:06.080 It's going to be last minute water block, not enough to retreat and guard from Fox. 04:16:06.080 --> 04:16:07.080 The reactions. 04:16:07.080 --> 04:16:08.080 But I'll just back to level one. 04:16:08.080 --> 04:16:10.080 Yeah, another time! 04:16:10.080 --> 04:16:12.080 We clear the board. 04:16:12.080 --> 04:16:13.080 I find it! 04:16:13.080 --> 04:16:14.080 It's what we do now! 04:16:14.080 --> 04:16:16.080 Okay, no, Mr. Ken! 04:16:16.080 --> 04:16:18.080 Strange connections. 04:16:18.080 --> 04:16:20.080 He's really need to maximize it. 04:16:20.080 --> 04:16:24.580 Look at what's happening on the back of it! Oh, there's so much damage being done to this Akari now. 04:16:24.580 --> 04:16:27.580 Not only is Teemo going to move, but he's going to rebound. 04:16:27.580 --> 04:16:32.580 Was that intentional with Brad? To make him want to press something to the trap? It's doing that weird. 04:16:32.580 --> 04:16:33.580 Dirty! 04:16:35.580 --> 04:16:38.580 Now, the final character is Akari in this match. 04:16:38.580 --> 04:16:44.080 Teemo, by all means, should be dead, but is healing all the way, and it's now cheap! 04:16:44.080 --> 04:16:46.580 You have to worry about it as much as you can. 04:16:46.580 --> 04:16:48.580 Oh, the two- 04:16:48.580 --> 04:16:49.580 Oh, the two- 04:16:49.580 --> 04:16:50.580 Wow! 04:16:50.580 --> 04:16:53.580 She can come out of anywhere! 04:16:53.580 --> 04:16:55.580 That even things up somewhat, though. 04:16:55.580 --> 04:16:58.580 Well, the Kari reset the bracket right now. 04:16:58.580 --> 04:17:00.580 Attack, okay. 04:17:00.580 --> 04:17:01.580 Oh, but not this time. 04:17:01.580 --> 04:17:04.580 There's so much bar on the side of Chicks too. 04:17:05.580 --> 04:17:06.580 Super says, 04:17:06.580 --> 04:17:07.580 Yep, and there it is! 04:17:07.580 --> 04:17:09.580 We've seen this one before, Ketchup! 04:17:09.580 --> 04:17:11.580 The confirmed! 04:17:11.580 --> 04:17:14.580 Let's see if we get in two times in a row. 04:17:14.580 --> 04:17:19.580 We live, we have fury, but are we going to have to chance another great one? 04:17:19.580 --> 04:17:20.580 Oh! 04:17:20.580 --> 04:17:21.580 Oh my! 04:17:21.580 --> 04:17:23.580 A push for a freeing guard and we get to steal! 04:17:23.580 --> 04:17:24.580 Turn it into a complex question! 04:17:24.580 --> 04:17:26.580 Do we have a point to kill with them? 04:17:26.580 --> 04:17:30.580 We make and we put it! 04:17:30.580 --> 04:17:34.580 And then Kari resetting the brackets on a pullout on the break. 04:17:34.580 --> 04:17:38.580 That is exactly the kind of decision that you would want to see reset the bracket 04:17:38.580 --> 04:17:40.580 because that sends a message. 04:17:40.580 --> 04:17:42.580 That is, I don't care that you're winning side ground in finals. 04:17:42.580 --> 04:17:46.840 finals. I don't care that you've basically not dropped the game the entire time with the exception of what? 04:17:46.840 --> 04:17:50.580 Maybe against the Twins was one game, but does not care. 04:17:50.580 --> 04:17:54.660 Hikari was and still is Evo Japan champion. 04:17:54.660 --> 04:18:00.500 Hikari is hungry for that Evo Vegas title and one set left to go. On the flip side, 04:18:00.500 --> 04:18:06.580 SideBox and Inzem, they can afford to lose that set, but it's not something you would choose to do because this is, 04:18:06.580 --> 04:18:11.340 we're talking momentum, we're talking mental fortitude, we're talking 04:18:11.340 --> 04:18:17.780 information granted in those matches all of the above and it is now time for what 04:18:17.780 --> 04:18:24.700 will be our final best of five. One more set out there folks you think you've got 04:18:24.700 --> 04:18:27.580 one more India? 04:18:27.580 --> 04:18:32.740 That's what I'm talking about. I can't wait to start getting up and just holding up forward. 04:18:32.740 --> 04:18:37.540 Hungry for this. Now that has been a character change on the side of Sonic 04:18:37.540 --> 04:18:41.540 And in their base, T-Mote R-Ree now, there is no more Jinx. 04:18:42.540 --> 04:18:46.040 And that's the benefit you get, right? You kind of jump into what you need to. 04:18:46.040 --> 04:18:50.040 They played once evenly in the last set, this is a new set, they can change. 04:18:52.040 --> 04:18:53.540 Let's end this one round. 04:18:54.040 --> 04:18:58.040 You can't always have a believer if you believe the player character is better than the opponent. 04:18:58.540 --> 04:19:01.540 Not afraid to do a kind of mirror position. 04:19:02.040 --> 04:19:05.540 And already, looking like this R-Ree is a pretty good choice. 04:19:05.540 --> 04:19:10.540 The Synergies are working out with Wonders, there's that BT mushroom and the Polish in the role. 04:19:10.540 --> 04:19:12.540 That's a cool combo and no doubt with that character. 04:19:15.540 --> 04:19:17.540 Okay, that's a better start. 04:19:17.540 --> 04:19:21.540 Now that's going to be the real question is how much of a difference is this team adjustment going to make? 04:19:21.540 --> 04:19:26.540 So I bet we saw a decent amount of Jigs plays there in the set before, 04:19:26.540 --> 04:19:31.540 but I think with the Jigs are down, Ari really is the character that Slyfox has spent the most time on. 04:19:31.540 --> 04:19:39.300 There's that team wars. Barely there. Touched is that side. If you are going to go for a 04:19:39.300 --> 04:19:43.340 character change, you better hope that it comes out like this, where, well, you get 04:19:43.340 --> 04:19:45.540 the proofs and the pudding. 04:19:45.540 --> 04:19:53.540 There's that turnaround from Ikari. We shoot. We push the boards. We create this situation 04:19:53.540 --> 04:19:56.540 and we figure out what's going to come next. 04:19:56.540 --> 04:19:58.940 Not the defensive choice, punish! 04:19:58.940 --> 04:20:01.340 There is no Akali, so it's not going to send in too much, 04:20:01.340 --> 04:20:03.440 and he'll leave me, he would be Kali and Waker. 04:20:03.440 --> 04:20:05.440 Oh, that's so true! 04:20:05.440 --> 04:20:07.940 I don't think I've ever seen that spell get lost, by the way. 04:20:09.940 --> 04:20:12.640 But just what do you do? Like, Akali ends up behind, 04:20:12.640 --> 04:20:15.840 you're with a teleport, suddenly you still have Ari in front. 04:20:16.540 --> 04:20:19.740 Kari scores a hit on the, uh, Inzem as well. 04:20:19.740 --> 04:20:21.540 Teemo taking heavy damage. 04:20:22.240 --> 04:20:24.640 And there is no means to get a big extension, 04:20:24.640 --> 04:20:30.480 First we're going to leave Tag in and go for a new Sabra Guard, and by all means, 04:20:30.480 --> 04:20:33.880 Timo is going to take the big punishment. 04:20:33.880 --> 04:20:38.040 I love the charge kind of moment though, because in order to defend my survival, 04:20:38.040 --> 04:20:42.200 you obviously have to follow the active character, but as Ari is charging that, 04:20:42.200 --> 04:20:47.520 well, perfect as well, as Ari is charging the H, Akari is jumping over you, 04:20:47.520 --> 04:20:50.560 so you kind of have to see what, you know, basically where is Akari, 04:20:50.560 --> 04:20:53.720 where is Akari next, and it looks like it's right across the... 04:20:53.720 --> 04:20:57.360 You can see that Hakari is really, again, going deep into that bag of tricks now. 04:20:57.360 --> 04:21:00.440 If you're never gonna do it in the grand final reset, when are you gonna do it? 04:21:01.160 --> 04:21:05.560 I mean, Hakari currently 6-0 on this duo. 04:21:05.560 --> 04:21:07.160 6-0? 3-0? 04:21:07.880 --> 04:21:10.080 Not quite. Not there yet, maybe. 04:21:10.080 --> 04:21:12.360 I mentioned I was just... You see, it's a future. 04:21:14.360 --> 04:21:17.120 Oh, look at the air block string, but didn't quite get it. 04:21:17.120 --> 04:21:18.760 I think I've got one hit in the calendar. 04:21:23.720 --> 04:21:30.920 Way more shades than previous games, so we just let it... 04:21:30.920 --> 04:21:32.920 Is it there? Let it happen? 04:21:32.920 --> 04:21:35.920 Yeah, but we've seen Hakari do this in general against Akabla Teemo. 04:21:35.920 --> 04:21:38.420 Especially with the Akali out, so you don't want to be impatient. 04:21:38.420 --> 04:21:42.920 The worst thing you can do against these kind of projectile characters is just rush your way in. 04:21:42.920 --> 04:21:46.420 Stake it along, every now and then you might be able to find a gap and try to close that distance. 04:21:46.420 --> 04:21:49.920 By and large, if you are too impatient, that's what they want you to do. 04:21:49.920 --> 04:21:52.920 You're almost daring you. Come on. Make a mistake. 04:21:52.920 --> 04:21:59.920 I mean, I think you can clearly see too those good eyes who have wanted some job of just covering the mushrooms and getting you into the fun. 04:21:59.920 --> 04:22:03.920 And then you've got the Ari at the same time. This team's so good at fighting T-Vote. 04:22:03.920 --> 04:22:08.920 Let's get the big one. Let me try to face an instant air dash. 04:22:08.920 --> 04:22:11.920 Pat some football forward as far as I'm too far away. 04:22:11.920 --> 04:22:15.920 They're a whole different side. Not a huge amount of ground left to go. 04:22:15.920 --> 04:22:17.920 Ari will be taking damage in the back. 04:22:17.920 --> 04:22:21.360 At least Carly is able to punish should there be an overextension. 04:22:21.360 --> 04:22:25.520 Man, Hakari blocking everything though, the defense has been immaculate. 04:22:27.520 --> 04:22:31.040 Yep, still Hakari will not get opened up! Another block! 04:22:31.040 --> 04:22:34.880 Oh, but an edge! Instant break, it's only a matter of time! 04:22:34.880 --> 04:22:38.160 That was a lot of blockstring though, because now 20 seconds on the clock. 04:22:38.160 --> 04:22:42.400 And with this combo, it's going to get very simple for Hakari to win this game. 04:22:42.400 --> 04:22:45.120 They just build the Super though, going to spend it straight away. 04:22:45.120 --> 04:22:49.120 Let's bring it to you now. But look at how long these combos are taking, Mustard. Does 04:22:49.120 --> 04:22:54.280 Ikari even have time to win this? No, that's not the end. This is going to take out Ari. 04:22:54.280 --> 04:22:59.280 There is just not enough time in the game. This will be a timeout victory to the duo. 04:22:59.280 --> 04:23:05.280 Yeah, just get the watch out, make sure. Oh, run straight through it with the Throws. 04:23:05.280 --> 04:23:09.800 I mean, even if that could actually do, what can you do? There is nothing, and 04:23:09.800 --> 04:23:14.520 the timeout win goes to Sonic and Inzem. The character change makes quite a difference 04:23:14.520 --> 04:23:20.760 here. A game on the board it was a very convincing 3-0. I guess Daryne lies the problem right? 04:23:20.760 --> 04:23:25.520 If you are willing to play a very slow-paced game of the musical, when you finally do start 04:23:25.520 --> 04:23:28.600 getting the ball rolling a little bit, you can have less time to play with it, which 04:23:28.600 --> 04:23:32.280 might work out in your favour, as we saw earlier in the top 8, or it might not, and 04:23:32.280 --> 04:23:35.000 you'll lose the game of the last one. In this top 8 it's historically proven 04:23:35.000 --> 04:23:38.320 to be in the favour of Akari. Now at the first time it kind of worked against 04:23:38.320 --> 04:23:43.440 Klaas. Risking that happening means being overzealous and just getting caught 04:23:43.440 --> 04:23:45.440 the neutral, they're dying anyway. 04:23:46.940 --> 04:23:49.440 Ah, there's patients on the flight. 04:23:49.440 --> 04:23:53.940 Many people out there say they believe in the EV number one team out there, 04:23:53.940 --> 04:23:57.440 and then you've got Fox for the capitalization reaction. 04:23:57.440 --> 04:24:00.440 Perfectly, what a f***, what does he want to scary do? 04:24:02.440 --> 04:24:03.940 That's why they've gone up in this right, they're going, 04:24:03.940 --> 04:24:04.440 WAH! 04:24:04.440 --> 04:24:07.440 Three straight forwards, one-sided set, three resets, 04:24:07.440 --> 04:24:08.940 I think we got the case down. 04:24:11.940 --> 04:24:12.940 Nice change. 04:24:13.440 --> 04:24:20.440 So considering how many times we see that role play, we do still see a lot of players' options going forward. 04:24:20.440 --> 04:24:23.940 You have to not be afraid to make these decisions. 04:24:23.940 --> 04:24:26.440 Oh, I've recognized it was too far away. 04:24:26.440 --> 04:24:27.940 Like that, Karry. 04:24:27.940 --> 04:24:31.440 I guess defense is really good in the game of the game here, but no, open down. 04:24:31.440 --> 04:24:33.440 Oh, they couldn't get more often. 04:24:35.440 --> 04:24:36.440 I mean, Karry. 04:24:36.440 --> 04:24:39.440 Immediately canceling recovery and then she puts in you blocking. 04:24:39.440 --> 04:24:47.440 shut down the bus lanes, shut down the air defense, so the blocking is so good, but you have to wonder how long can you block 04:24:47.440 --> 04:24:53.940 I mean, pretty darn long, we're putting that to test at the moment, because in them still refuses to get hit 04:24:53.940 --> 04:25:03.440 the defense still fights at the pushbox, it always comes down to a grab, but when there is no assist, so who cares? 04:25:03.440 --> 04:25:05.440 Now, unfortunately, you don't care. 04:25:07.440 --> 04:25:10.440 I've got to say though, who knows for the blocking there. 04:25:10.440 --> 04:25:13.440 It's a really willing to kind of take the throne in the instance, 04:25:13.440 --> 04:25:15.440 but we know he's the character who's directing constant air dashes, 04:25:15.440 --> 04:25:17.440 or just quick overhead options in the air. 04:25:17.440 --> 04:25:20.440 Empty loads, assists, and dynamic hiding. 04:25:20.440 --> 04:25:23.440 That's the thing, you're not just looking for the throne, 04:25:23.440 --> 04:25:25.440 you're looking for the kingdom. 04:25:25.440 --> 04:25:27.440 If there is no assist available, 04:25:27.440 --> 04:25:29.440 then the throne is kind of the lesser of two evils, 04:25:29.440 --> 04:25:31.440 or a million evils. 04:25:31.440 --> 04:25:34.200 They pick up there. Another... 04:25:34.200 --> 04:25:37.780 The Cypher as in, for instance, have been the most bloodstained. 04:25:37.780 --> 04:25:41.280 No, they have all been so good. There it is again! 04:25:41.280 --> 04:25:43.280 Oh, that's a catch! 04:25:43.280 --> 04:25:46.480 It's not over, the Inzep is always ready with the perfect timing. 04:25:46.480 --> 04:25:48.980 Is that Sonic's always ready for it to connect? 04:25:48.980 --> 04:25:51.280 Oh, wow, a one-round up again. 04:25:51.280 --> 04:25:53.280 Potentially threatening a 2-0 here. 04:25:53.280 --> 04:25:57.280 The Inzep has just been master when it comes to defense. 04:25:57.280 --> 04:26:00.780 Even if Inzep's not alive, the perfect timing for him to go for those assists 04:26:00.780 --> 04:26:02.780 It's just inspirational. 04:26:03.780 --> 04:26:05.780 Alright, let's start things off with the ground. 04:26:05.780 --> 04:26:06.780 And then we play a good situation. 04:26:06.780 --> 04:26:08.780 Ho ho ho, that was delicious! 04:26:09.780 --> 04:26:11.780 And we still have four combos to go. 04:26:11.780 --> 04:26:13.780 Alright, besides where do we play? 04:26:13.780 --> 04:26:15.780 We freeze, silence! 04:26:15.780 --> 04:26:17.780 There's the handshake! 04:26:17.780 --> 04:26:19.780 Akali, must stay alive. 04:26:24.780 --> 04:26:26.780 Okay, limit strike. 04:26:27.780 --> 04:26:29.780 That's the server pressure. 04:26:29.780 --> 04:26:35.780 It's hard to defend the game. It's going to depend on where she is as well. 04:26:35.780 --> 04:26:36.780 Oh! 04:26:36.780 --> 04:26:37.780 Oh! 04:26:37.780 --> 04:26:38.780 Oh! 04:26:38.780 --> 04:26:39.780 Oh! 04:26:39.780 --> 04:26:40.780 Oh! 04:26:40.780 --> 04:26:41.780 Oh! 04:26:41.780 --> 04:26:42.780 Oh! 04:26:42.780 --> 04:26:43.780 Oh! 04:26:43.780 --> 04:26:44.780 Oh! 04:26:44.780 --> 04:27:00.260 one by the canceling it's just the biggest plan you know okay it comes in 04:27:00.260 --> 04:27:05.740 with the same outside switch which is big but you've got ari on the end set up 04:27:05.740 --> 04:27:12.620 yeah on small simple but just a low on it no no need to over complicate things 04:27:12.620 --> 04:27:14.620 He's there with Sonic Fox. 04:27:16.620 --> 04:27:19.620 Yep, yeah, we killed the character. See you later. 04:27:19.620 --> 04:27:25.620 Wow, and the adjustment has been so significant as Akari comes in with a very low Akari. 04:27:25.620 --> 04:27:28.620 Lots of resources, lots of fury, but whatever. 04:27:28.620 --> 04:27:31.620 Kill! Oh no! Kill! Oh no! 04:27:31.620 --> 04:27:33.620 The happy birthday! 04:27:33.620 --> 04:27:37.620 But the Teemo dying first does save the Ari. This match is not over. 04:27:37.620 --> 04:27:44.620 Oh my goodness, the Thore-Tek! And there it is! The Super Sister get inside from above! 04:27:44.620 --> 04:27:48.620 The chip damage, can you avoid it? The Thore-Tek again! 04:27:48.620 --> 04:27:51.620 His Zephyr another time! The airstrike! He's coming back! 04:27:53.620 --> 04:27:56.620 It's crazy how quickly this turned around. It's only so bad for him. 04:27:56.620 --> 04:28:00.620 There's one more meter and it's been spent. But at the end... 04:28:00.620 --> 04:28:02.620 Oh my god! 04:28:02.620 --> 04:28:04.620 Curry! 04:28:04.620 --> 04:28:06.620 That is unreal! 04:28:06.620 --> 04:28:08.620 That was looking impossible for Curry! 04:28:08.620 --> 04:28:10.620 Right up until that happy birthday! 04:28:10.620 --> 04:28:12.620 And suddenly 04:28:12.620 --> 04:28:14.620 it's the turnaround! 04:28:16.620 --> 04:28:18.620 Alright, so the first bit of momentum 04:28:18.620 --> 04:28:20.620 and the punish 04:28:20.620 --> 04:28:22.620 the risk was taken 04:28:22.620 --> 04:28:24.620 I'm sure thanks to that break 04:28:24.620 --> 04:28:26.620 being available but sadly 04:28:26.620 --> 04:28:28.620 having to use it already 04:28:28.620 --> 04:28:31.620 You are in for a wall to her. 04:28:31.620 --> 04:28:34.620 Oh, wow. Oh, pick up. 04:28:34.620 --> 04:28:38.620 Oh, and the poison darts are just adding. 04:28:38.620 --> 04:28:40.620 Ooh. 04:28:40.620 --> 04:28:43.620 In one corner. Ooh. 04:28:43.620 --> 04:28:46.620 Went through all of it. Hit the team mode. 04:28:49.620 --> 04:28:51.620 Alright. 04:28:51.620 --> 04:28:53.620 Situation. 04:28:53.620 --> 04:28:56.620 All the way in the screen. I think I was just going out in the back roads, to be honest. 04:28:56.620 --> 04:29:02.620 not hold back from that run. Nice, okay, okay. That was a really cute idea, but we'll 04:29:02.620 --> 04:29:04.620 just figure it out. 04:29:06.620 --> 04:29:11.620 I think the duo that saved the brakes was going to keep characters alive compared to earlier 04:29:11.620 --> 04:29:14.620 sets, which may be used for the theory situations. 04:29:14.620 --> 04:29:16.620 One minute. Shrouding. 04:29:16.620 --> 04:29:21.620 Hey, Shroud up. Should help give me some extra tools to deal with the projectiles there. 04:29:21.620 --> 04:29:24.200 Oh wow! Big Jack's in there! 04:29:24.200 --> 04:29:26.940 Yep! Huge connection there! 04:29:26.940 --> 04:29:30.080 And now Akari taking out the Arias. They'll be up to the team home. 04:29:30.080 --> 04:29:31.920 Inzeph. 04:29:31.920 --> 04:29:33.980 Inzeph has been so switched on this set. 04:29:33.980 --> 04:29:37.480 Oh, but the push block! 04:29:37.480 --> 04:29:42.320 Why do I get the feeling this close reset is going to go the distance muster? 04:29:42.320 --> 04:29:44.920 I would hope so! 04:29:44.920 --> 04:29:48.220 There it is, yep, Akari. 04:29:48.220 --> 04:29:49.560 One game apiece. 04:29:49.560 --> 04:29:52.520 No sweep in the final, but it's staying very competitive. 04:29:53.400 --> 04:29:54.760 But it's interesting to see the development. 04:29:54.760 --> 04:29:57.080 No, absolutely, you wouldn't want anything nice from the final. 04:30:02.240 --> 04:30:06.280 That's what you want. The fit of massive character adjustment here, going back to Timo Ari. 04:30:06.280 --> 04:30:09.840 This is the team we've seen the most on overall, to be honest. 04:30:09.840 --> 04:30:14.760 But even in this top 8, we've seen Timo change, we've seen that the rash come out at the start. 04:30:14.760 --> 04:30:17.640 And now, going back, that kind of drill tried true. 04:30:19.560 --> 04:30:30.560 And we are going back to what we've seen throughout the course of this top 8, which is Akari understanding, so I don't need to rush this, I need to look for my moment, and there it is! 04:30:30.560 --> 04:30:37.560 I'm telling you, if you just play careful, just make sure you avoid chip damage, your time will come. 04:30:37.560 --> 04:30:43.560 Ooh, no, this is not yet, but it shouldn't have happened anywhere, Timo wouldn't have accepted this shot. 04:30:43.560 --> 04:30:48.560 Oh, the parry! 04:30:48.560 --> 04:30:52.560 N'Kari's getting some big connections, but not necessarily with the point character. 04:30:52.560 --> 04:30:54.560 Ooh, hello! 04:30:55.560 --> 04:30:57.560 Ooh, screen that projectile, it's gonna keep up. 04:30:57.560 --> 04:30:59.560 All packs range! 04:31:00.560 --> 04:31:02.560 That's huge! 04:31:04.560 --> 04:31:07.560 Damn, this is just so much more than you would expect. 04:31:07.560 --> 04:31:09.560 Right, we missed right there. 04:31:09.560 --> 04:31:12.560 We shroud, and it's below this time, N'Kari! 04:31:12.560 --> 04:31:14.560 taking out the other one. 04:31:14.560 --> 04:31:16.560 Well you see the shroud go up and sometimes you think, 04:31:16.560 --> 04:31:19.560 okay well there's a lot more to be worried on now. 04:31:19.560 --> 04:31:22.560 With its claw grab, extructions, extensions of the two knives, 04:31:22.560 --> 04:31:24.560 sometimes it's got to do a damage up low. 04:31:24.560 --> 04:31:27.560 Alright, NZM mate, you've shown us this iron defense in the past, 04:31:27.560 --> 04:31:29.560 you have to do it again. 04:31:30.560 --> 04:31:33.560 No assist ready, so that does create some real estate, 04:31:33.560 --> 04:31:34.560 really placed emo. 04:31:34.560 --> 04:31:36.560 Nothing to go over the invisibility. 04:31:36.560 --> 04:31:38.560 It gets shut down, however, 04:31:38.560 --> 04:31:40.560 and changes down to retreating guards. 04:31:40.560 --> 04:31:44.400 Beautiful parry to answer the tricepitch! 04:31:44.400 --> 04:31:46.400 Go in there, mate, you're a god! 04:31:48.400 --> 04:31:50.400 Alright, you're not gonna be dead? 04:31:50.400 --> 04:31:52.000 Mushroom? Okay! 04:31:52.000 --> 04:31:54.800 Best cake scenario two, limits try to get some of that pizza back. 04:31:57.040 --> 04:31:59.440 Okay, parry to super-est, let's throw! 04:32:01.280 --> 04:32:03.440 Oh my, well, in the back, come on! 04:32:03.440 --> 04:32:05.920 Yes, the super-est, well, so you can't fury it! 04:32:05.920 --> 04:32:10.320 Oh, wait, what's that thing about that? Come on! 04:32:10.320 --> 04:32:14.520 Do you have time? That's five seconds! I don't think you can. 04:32:14.520 --> 04:32:18.360 No, you can't. Another time that happens every time 04:32:18.360 --> 04:32:25.860 Hikari is using the timer to his advantage. It's such a significant tool that his opponent 04:32:25.860 --> 04:32:30.640 will just play patient. Eventually, when the timer becomes a threat, most of the 04:32:30.640 --> 04:32:32.160 time he's in the lead! 04:32:32.160 --> 04:32:38.160 Well, it's like you've been saying it's interesting because the Timo Ari, this is the Timo that wants to slow things down, but Makari's been in no rush. 04:32:38.160 --> 04:32:41.160 The Timo is presumably falling to a crash like a father. 04:32:41.160 --> 04:32:46.160 Oh, oh, no, that theory made massive heavy damage incoming. 04:32:46.160 --> 04:32:49.160 Heavy duty, happy birthday. 04:32:49.160 --> 04:32:55.160 Oh, fuck! Red! Timo! Timo is barely there! 04:32:55.160 --> 04:33:01.160 We were basically one hit shy of a 2x KO at that point. 04:33:01.160 --> 04:33:03.160 Yeah, we went for the break. 04:33:05.160 --> 04:33:09.160 This is going to be a very, very difficult comeback to make you up both. 04:33:09.160 --> 04:33:12.160 At death's door, yes Teemo's got most of Grey life, 04:33:12.160 --> 04:33:15.160 but Ahri doesn't really have the health to stay alive. 04:33:15.160 --> 04:33:17.160 The fact that Hikari got that damage, 04:33:17.160 --> 04:33:21.160 then again got hit and immediately popped that rake of response 04:33:21.160 --> 04:33:23.480 It's just, again, it's a game of momentum. 04:33:23.480 --> 04:33:27.320 Hakari was just really on it there to finish off the game. 04:33:27.320 --> 04:33:34.480 If I can somehow pull this off, I will be amazed, but let's see. 04:33:34.480 --> 04:33:36.080 It's gonna be damaged. 04:33:36.080 --> 04:33:38.640 Much more OK in the low. 04:33:38.640 --> 04:33:42.000 All of a sudden, with that gray light remaining, the meter and that fury, 04:33:42.000 --> 04:33:45.240 this comeback just became so much more possible. 04:33:45.240 --> 04:33:48.080 It's usually there, like, when do you want to pop the fury? 04:33:48.080 --> 04:33:49.240 Will you try? 04:33:49.240 --> 04:33:51.480 Oh, it's connected. You've got court-paston. 04:33:52.480 --> 04:33:53.880 But the bonus damage there. 04:33:54.880 --> 04:33:55.840 Crouch block. 04:33:55.840 --> 04:33:57.560 Shots it down entirely. 04:33:57.560 --> 04:33:58.440 Watch out! 04:33:58.440 --> 04:33:59.840 Spated out the fury! 04:33:59.840 --> 04:34:01.920 But there was no fury to be had! 04:34:01.920 --> 04:34:03.720 Holds onto it and still bites! 04:34:03.720 --> 04:34:05.000 Not gonna confirm. 04:34:05.000 --> 04:34:05.880 It's then. 04:34:05.880 --> 04:34:07.280 Can you do it? 04:34:07.280 --> 04:34:09.440 Can you do it? 04:34:10.680 --> 04:34:14.720 Unbelievable, the clutch from it's end. 04:34:14.720 --> 04:34:18.000 To stay alive in such dire circumstances. 04:34:18.000 --> 04:34:20.240 I can't believe it. Yo, we're dead even again. 04:34:20.240 --> 04:34:21.240 What is going on? 04:34:21.240 --> 04:34:24.240 I cannot believe Inzem found that. 04:34:25.740 --> 04:34:28.240 It's almost like we're watching the best players in the world. 04:34:28.240 --> 04:34:30.240 I know, right? Crazy. 04:34:30.240 --> 04:34:32.240 Who would have thought? 04:34:32.240 --> 04:34:35.740 The unbelievable, unbelievable level of composure. 04:34:39.740 --> 04:34:41.740 Pressure forward. 04:34:41.740 --> 04:34:42.740 Catch me in the air again. 04:34:42.740 --> 04:34:46.300 Defense on both ends, looking pretty strong so far. 04:34:46.300 --> 04:34:48.140 All the delay. 04:34:48.980 --> 04:34:50.860 Gonna hit his mark, Akari. 04:34:52.740 --> 04:34:54.900 So much safe as the lead right here. 04:34:54.900 --> 04:34:57.500 By the set, they completely split down the middle, but... 04:34:58.220 --> 04:35:02.780 After that last round's comeback, they expect the unexpected forever. 04:35:02.780 --> 04:35:05.820 The delay into the grass, and now empty loads. 04:35:05.820 --> 04:35:08.220 It breaks way more important to keep the character alive. 04:35:08.220 --> 04:35:10.660 But no! We're gonna take it out anyway! 04:35:10.660 --> 04:35:13.060 And now Ari! Go on net! 04:35:15.940 --> 04:35:17.300 Ho-ho! 04:35:19.180 --> 04:35:21.500 Ah, let's go from bad to worse this round. 04:35:21.500 --> 04:35:24.980 Kari on the verge of being up 2-told-1. 04:35:24.980 --> 04:35:27.900 He's playing on the verge, I say, inevitable. 04:35:27.900 --> 04:35:30.260 Yep, Azuna dropped! 04:35:30.260 --> 04:35:31.780 Thank you very much. 04:35:32.380 --> 04:35:36.620 And one step closer, we creep slowly but surely 04:35:36.620 --> 04:35:38.980 to the end of this tournament with Kari. 04:35:38.980 --> 04:35:43.140 But I mean by no means are we done. It is not over until it's over. 04:35:43.140 --> 04:35:46.420 I know it's the same that's been said many times, but it really is true here. 04:35:46.420 --> 04:35:49.700 These games are unpredictable. Whether it's these crazy comebacks, 04:35:49.700 --> 04:35:54.500 it's these these hard quads holding on to break inferior desperate times in a way that just works out. 04:35:55.220 --> 04:35:59.940 Last ditch effort, like timeouts. But who knows where we're going to go now. 04:35:59.940 --> 04:36:03.140 This could potentially be the final match, maybe. 04:36:03.140 --> 04:36:10.740 Banking on this team, Ikari needs one more to be your champion of the EVO 2026 2x KO, but, 04:36:11.940 --> 04:36:16.340 if Sonic Godson isn't have something to say about it, they will see it not so right. 04:36:17.300 --> 04:36:23.300 Ari set that, oh dear, that break, no doubt had to come out otherwise that is dead T-Mode 04:36:23.300 --> 04:36:30.500 especially of that star. Sonic Godson fighting back, remember folks, most recently James T, 04:36:30.500 --> 04:36:34.580 the R-Enter the Kings, of which has been so much more useful. 04:36:34.580 --> 04:36:36.260 Oh, it's been a game-changer. 04:36:36.260 --> 04:36:39.580 Absolutely, this is the team that's spent most of their time on right. 04:36:39.580 --> 04:36:40.900 It's got a surprise. 04:36:40.900 --> 04:36:42.180 Oh, but a catch. 04:36:42.180 --> 04:36:44.260 The long-range standing like the counter hit too. 04:36:44.260 --> 04:36:47.900 That reactive light was just so in Hakari's head, saying, 04:36:47.900 --> 04:36:50.300 I know exactly what you're gonna do here. 04:36:52.420 --> 04:36:53.500 In 10. 04:36:53.500 --> 04:36:54.580 10 up. 04:36:54.580 --> 04:36:56.540 Oh, wow. 04:36:56.540 --> 04:37:00.380 So, come pick up the mitts and covers with the assist for Kari! 04:37:00.380 --> 04:37:06.540 So ready to keep the Akari alive there for what looked like a massive win, but ended up being a huge advantage! 04:37:07.540 --> 04:37:11.740 There's gonna be just Sonic Fox left to come back demanded, Inzem in the previous game, 04:37:11.740 --> 04:37:14.540 there's the unthinkable with the comeback. 04:37:15.340 --> 04:37:20.540 Inzem, the positioning of these Super Assist has just been so good. 04:37:20.540 --> 04:37:27.540 Yeah, Harry, I mean, you're saying you're on tons of life, sure, but a lot of resources. 04:37:27.540 --> 04:37:35.540 Oh, wow, huge opening, do you, Fury? You can't really, right? Yeah, had to wait for the character to disappear. 04:37:35.540 --> 04:37:39.540 You have to be so careful with your break timing when an assist has been used in the combo 04:37:39.540 --> 04:37:42.540 because that handshake reaction to block is ever threatening. Oh, no! 04:37:42.540 --> 04:37:47.540 Jump cleans completely over! Are you kidding me? Now, do you have a way of getting past this 04:37:47.540 --> 04:37:52.340 this and doing enough damage past the fury. There's level three. Okay, that's gonna be enough! 04:37:52.340 --> 04:38:01.540 Akari now is gonna be on tournament point! Being able to find that last hit right at the final moment, 04:38:02.100 --> 04:38:09.940 the focus has been laser pointed throughout this top eight, and now only one round stands in your way. 04:38:09.940 --> 04:38:17.940 They look so unbelievable to me. This is their final challenge. 04:38:17.940 --> 04:38:22.940 If you want to see them two are bringing to a final game, you've got to let them know! 04:38:25.940 --> 04:38:31.940 Let's not speak too soon about Hakari in the massive lead. The setup is good again. 04:38:31.940 --> 04:38:34.940 This is the scariest thing about Hakari. When you get those full situations, 04:38:34.940 --> 04:38:39.500 situations and we start seeing the weird set-ups and that's the layer right now 04:38:39.500 --> 04:38:43.940 and is Ari already gone? There's no way! There's no way! The Izuna drop takes our 04:38:43.940 --> 04:38:49.020 Sonic Fox and now it is all up to Intem! Hikari, the world championship is right 04:38:49.020 --> 04:38:53.940 in front of you! All you have to do is reach out and take it! It's yours! 04:38:53.940 --> 04:38:58.380 We are on the verge of a perfect year and that would be a ridiculous way to 04:38:58.380 --> 04:39:03.940 end things Intem mate! You did the impossible, come back for more and we'll see you have to try it again! 04:39:03.940 --> 04:39:07.160 But without theory, we're moments away from building it! 04:39:07.160 --> 04:39:10.400 This is looking all Hikari! 04:39:10.400 --> 04:39:12.300 Hikari's working on the perfect! 04:39:12.300 --> 04:39:15.260 A massive jump back from Inzep, that'd just to find the hit! 04:39:15.260 --> 04:39:18.300 Will this be enough? The Super Assist cannot pick up though! 04:39:18.300 --> 04:39:23.100 Hikari has a lot to work with yet all the advantage in the world, 04:39:23.100 --> 04:39:25.340 but can you afford to push the advantage? 04:39:25.340 --> 04:39:29.100 The stroud is up, just getting slow again, even though I'm comfortable. 04:39:29.100 --> 04:39:32.100 There's still time on the clock, there's no need to rush. 04:39:32.100 --> 04:39:37.200 The defense remains as you know, you cannot take a single significant hit. 04:39:37.200 --> 04:39:40.600 Here comes the super assist, and the mix is real! 04:39:40.600 --> 04:39:42.800 We live, but for how long? 04:39:44.000 --> 04:39:45.800 Okay, the ins and the theories there. 04:39:45.800 --> 04:39:48.000 It's gonna be hard to find the same way of activating it. 04:39:48.000 --> 04:39:49.900 Wait for attack. Okay, it's blocked. 04:39:49.900 --> 04:39:51.500 We're gonna pick up on this. 04:39:51.500 --> 04:39:53.200 No break from Hikari, by the way. 04:39:53.200 --> 04:39:54.600 We're keeping things bold. 04:39:55.500 --> 04:39:56.300 Okay, you wanna keep going? 04:39:56.300 --> 04:39:57.700 Want to save that safety net? 04:39:57.700 --> 04:39:58.800 Absolutely do. 04:39:58.800 --> 04:40:03.800 They're playing such a neutral job. Okay, M7, what read our time? 04:40:03.800 --> 04:40:08.800 Do you keep the duo alive? They're playing as a duo, but right now it's all up to M7. 04:40:08.800 --> 04:40:12.800 Oh! It's a good point! They're going to do this! And it goes! 04:40:12.800 --> 04:40:19.800 It carries! It goes! Not only to EVO Japan, but to EVO Las Vegas! 04:40:19.800 --> 04:40:27.800 What a ridiculous display. Unstoppable laser focus 04:40:27.800 --> 04:40:36.200 And the championship will earn undisputed 2xKO world champion. 04:40:36.200 --> 04:40:40.440 Hekari, crowd, make some noise for your new world champion! 04:40:41.560 --> 04:40:46.600 The respect coming out of the fight box and in there, the second place finish, 04:40:46.600 --> 04:40:54.440 you know they were coming for that number one, but man, the level of play in this game is so 04:40:54.440 --> 04:41:02.340 close yet when it counts the most it's Akari consistency your greatest player 04:41:02.340 --> 04:41:09.340 on the planet I can't believe it I cannot believe it running it all the way 04:41:09.340 --> 04:41:15.680 back from losers bracket the duo Sonic Fox and MZ looking unstoppable in that 04:41:15.680 --> 04:41:22.400 win-or-side but until they met Akari what champion in every sense of the 04:41:22.400 --> 04:41:27.400 Evo Japan champion, Evo Vegas champion, wow! 04:41:27.400 --> 04:41:31.400 That one deniable, the best player in the world. 04:41:31.400 --> 04:41:36.400 Honestly, for me, as we go through these three plays here, Grand Finals, 04:41:36.400 --> 04:41:42.400 presented here by PlayStation Tournaments, this was a perfect time. 04:41:42.400 --> 04:41:48.400 Even starting off, I said before, the sheer intensity before this match. 04:41:48.400 --> 04:41:53.960 These are training classes they have met in tournaments before they will meet in 04:41:53.960 --> 04:41:59.680 tournaments again. But meeting in tournament on Evo, Top 8 States, Grand Finals, I am not 04:41:59.680 --> 04:42:05.120 surprised we saw them give what they gave. What a fantastic game. Man of the hour, 04:42:05.120 --> 04:42:12.000 man of the tournament. I mean just an inspiration to what this is about. 04:42:12.000 --> 04:42:19.000 The same TV you've really come around before, you've both sat locked in to the Akali in Aari, 04:42:19.000 --> 04:42:25.000 you've been walking in ever since, to a card limitless effect. 04:42:25.000 --> 04:42:28.000 That's no wonder this crowd got so into it. 04:42:28.000 --> 04:42:29.000 That one. Go crowd! 04:42:29.000 --> 04:42:31.000 Gesson, you enjoyed that one! 04:42:34.000 --> 04:42:37.000 You've all been fantastic, we love you so much. 04:42:37.000 --> 04:42:45.000 And, well, then, that's all about Vagenio. 04:42:45.000 --> 04:42:47.000 It's way the same. 04:42:47.000 --> 04:42:50.000 I guess about a few of the different players in that Top 8 04:42:50.000 --> 04:42:54.000 is when you see him playing minimal emotion, like ice cold. 04:42:54.000 --> 04:42:57.000 Ice cold, but as soon as the match is over, 04:42:57.000 --> 04:43:03.000 it's either crushing disappointment or explosive positivity. 04:43:03.000 --> 04:43:05.000 And that's why these players are so serious. 04:43:05.000 --> 04:43:08.000 They love it, man. They live for this. 04:43:08.000 --> 04:43:10.000 And it's all about that, that Evo Grand Finals. 04:43:10.000 --> 04:43:13.000 Congratulations to her, Mario.

And that's the wild part is that was already a dump. That's the double jeopardy match 05:22:04.200 --> 05:22:10.360 They already played yesterday. So Ninja kills run was wild because he up until the low hat matchup 05:22:10.360 --> 05:22:16.700 He was going to all to all against the majority of the killers out there. I mean look if we talking about somebody being strong 05:22:16.700 --> 05:22:21.540 I mean we got to talk about you know the path to victory and the victory win path presented by white cloth search 05:22:21.820 --> 05:22:25.780 Casimir is gonna be first up in this guy's actually ridiculous 05:22:25.780 --> 05:22:30.480 I mean a lot of people kind of like written them off, but look at his path chaotic October October member 05:22:30.480 --> 05:22:34.400 It's a crazy name line zero clock Jimmy J 05:22:34.400 --> 05:22:39.840 train. That's crazy. He just heard me right there. And Olsang, a two-time EWC champion. 05:22:39.840 --> 05:22:43.680 More gold. He's been almost unstoppable this year. And as well as Autif, that 05:22:43.680 --> 05:22:48.200 match was crazy. It is a crazy path to get there. Wow. Cost is near same on the 05:22:48.200 --> 05:22:52.400 winter side. What a journey to make it up to the top eight. And of course, we 05:22:52.400 --> 05:22:56.560 have Varell's ranch. You coming up here as well. What up against Tritcars, 05:22:56.560 --> 05:23:00.720 NCP 0-39 in the pools round one. Then we have killers like Shin Paolo. 05:23:00.720 --> 05:23:08.720 Dapper Edge in round 2, Ikari, the evil Japan champion in the top 48 and more yields making it to top 8. 05:23:08.720 --> 05:23:14.720 Well look, you already know I'm a big fan of Ranchew, so I'm trying to lead my bias aside, but I feel like once again you see some of these names. 05:23:14.720 --> 05:23:20.720 I feel Ranchew, even though he is a multi-time TWT champion that's been on the stage multiple times, you might forget about him. 05:23:20.720 --> 05:23:25.720 But I hope you don't, because he's in the winner's side, and he has an opportunity to go to their finals and grandfights. 05:23:25.720 --> 05:23:29.720 Absolutely. I'll never count him out. The only two-time TWT champion still. 05:23:29.720 --> 05:23:35.320 Yep to this day. Yep. It ain't easy, bro. One of the hardest tournaments in the world to win. He's won it twice in two different games 05:23:35.320 --> 05:23:41.080 Yeah, seven to eight, but this is gonna be the first matchup. We're gonna be having bro. I'm super excited 05:23:41.080 --> 05:23:45.240 It's the Pakistan versus Korea rivalry going at it to start off the setting today 05:23:45.720 --> 05:23:46.840 people 05:23:46.840 --> 05:23:48.840 Talk about the rivalries in Tekken 05:23:49.000 --> 05:23:53.960 Pakistan versus Korea is the most important story in saying now. Yeah, bro 05:23:53.960 --> 05:23:56.680 This I told you it's the sands coming to the Tekken world 05:23:56.680 --> 05:24:03.440 It's nothing but Pakistan players the John a tip. I mean farzine all of them come in and just kind of like claim in their spot 05:24:03.440 --> 05:24:05.440 But Korea's fighting back now 05:24:06.560 --> 05:24:12.680 Champion was Korean and the fights that happened to even get to this point tell a story about how that it could be any one 05:24:12.680 --> 05:24:16.800 Of these regions coming out in front. So this match is integral to that story 05:24:16.800 --> 05:24:22.320 Oh interesting because the last two evils here in Vegas were won by Arsenal Pakistan, right a tip right there 05:24:22.320 --> 05:24:28.080 right behind them. But you know, Korea ranked you when it's the first seed of the T-fines. 05:24:28.080 --> 05:24:33.680 And then Low High wins the last one. So it's like Korea to Pakistan, Korea to Pakistan, back and forth, back and forth. 05:24:34.800 --> 05:24:39.440 Well look, when it comes to these kind of matchups, I feel like people don't understand this last 05:24:39.440 --> 05:24:44.480 an entire lifetime. Yo, shout out to the crowd here at Evo hanging out. They gave you guys Glowsnakes 05:24:44.480 --> 05:24:49.280 to help you make noise. And that's what I like to say.

Don't ever cut your hair, bro 05:25:07.540 --> 05:25:11.380 It looks too cool. Don't do it. I said it on camera because I want you to know I meant it 05:25:11.380 --> 05:25:15.380 Yeah, I see what's going on with this point. 05:25:15.380 --> 05:25:18.380 I'm telling you, I want my homies to all have a long air. 05:25:18.380 --> 05:25:20.380 I want all my homies to have a long air. 05:25:20.380 --> 05:25:24.380 But it's been a long path for a lot of these players getting here, I gotta say myself. 05:25:24.380 --> 05:25:28.380 And it's not been easy because literally the best players in the world showed up. 05:25:28.380 --> 05:25:30.380 I mean, you got Arsenal trying to get eight of these things, bro. 05:25:30.380 --> 05:25:32.380 He's on quite the run. 05:25:32.380 --> 05:25:35.380 Rangchu just actually getting a big title like this. 05:25:35.380 --> 05:25:37.380 I mean, of course, after being a TWT champion, 05:25:37.380 --> 05:25:40.380 can see me if this would be something amazing. 05:25:40.380 --> 05:25:42.620 It's just be a big, uh, for Cosimo Nero as well. 05:25:42.620 --> 05:25:47.620 You know, like a lot of these players, they want a big victory, like an Evo or EWC or a TWT final, 05:25:47.620 --> 05:25:49.420 but it's so hard to get there. 05:25:49.420 --> 05:25:53.580 But this is the only style where it's like open bracket tournament. 05:25:53.580 --> 05:25:55.380 People always ask me what is Evo like. 05:25:55.380 --> 05:26:01.580 And I'm like, guess what it's like to enter a basketball tournament and fight Michael Jordan, LeBron James. 05:26:01.580 --> 05:26:02.620 And then you're still going. 05:26:02.620 --> 05:26:03.820 And then you're still going. 05:26:03.820 --> 05:26:06.460 You know, like that tells a very different story about your path 05:26:06.460 --> 05:26:10.180 when it comes to being like a professional player, especially at the level these guys are playing in. 05:26:10.180 --> 05:26:13.900 in a brand new game that has definitely changed quite a bit from then to now. 05:26:13.900 --> 05:26:16.700 Yeah, it's going to change season three now, a lot of quality of life changes, 05:26:16.700 --> 05:26:19.580 a lot of parallels going to be reduced with a lot of the heat adjustments. 05:26:19.780 --> 05:26:22.780 But a lot of these players have been keeping up to date with the patches 05:26:22.780 --> 05:26:25.380 studying, and that's what makes them a world class competitor, right? 05:26:25.380 --> 05:26:27.300 You've got to do the homework to be up here. 05:26:27.300 --> 05:26:29.180 Well, look, man, I'm glad I got you up here with me, bro. 05:26:29.180 --> 05:26:31.540 Speaking of homework and all the homework, aficionado. 05:26:31.740 --> 05:26:33.620 And it's always a pleasure to be on the mic with you, man. 05:26:33.620 --> 05:26:36.500 You've been killing it as always, but also one of the highly 05:26:36.700 --> 05:26:37.740 players that I respect. 05:26:37.740 --> 05:26:40.460 And it's one of the reasons I like being up here talking about these games to you. 05:26:40.660 --> 05:26:44.100 But let's talk about the TWT build up to this point. 05:26:44.100 --> 05:26:46.060 We already saw what happened at Evo Japan. 05:26:46.180 --> 05:26:50.060 We just came from the mix up where Nobby, another one of our players was on a tear. 05:26:50.140 --> 05:26:52.420 It looks like it continued over to Evo Japan. 05:26:52.420 --> 05:26:53.660 Not done yet. 05:26:53.660 --> 05:26:57.660 Dude, that last set yesterday for him to qualify into the top eight against 05:26:57.660 --> 05:27:00.500 Ahtib when Ahtib was like it's low time. 05:27:00.660 --> 05:27:01.820 It's low and go time. 05:27:01.820 --> 05:27:07.340 And then Nobby with the sickest low parry to make that clutch comeback was phenomenal. 05:27:07.340 --> 05:27:10.760 I mean, that's a highlight of evil by itself probably one of the craziest man 05:27:10.760 --> 05:27:15.840 One of my highlights of evil is that match between a tiff and no be like no questions 05:27:15.840 --> 05:27:20.600 X so the fact that we're about to get a potential run where he can go even further in the bracket like this is 05:27:20.600 --> 05:27:21.980 Gonna tell you quite the story 05:27:21.980 --> 05:27:26.780 We saw a lot of emotions to from a lot of the players to like John the ding and then of course that we've got a 05:27:27.120 --> 05:27:32.980 Moille as well when they qualified into top eight and also learning their spot and to EW speed as well 05:27:32.980 --> 05:27:36.160 So it's like double whammy for that and you can tell how much passion they were showing 05:27:36.160 --> 05:27:41.440 I mean John Dean is one of the players we've been talking about then these last like five to six years from Tekken 7 on to 8 05:27:41.440 --> 05:27:46.820 Has been making these big strides and I mean the big sign of vitality is only like kind of increased that push 05:27:46.820 --> 05:27:47.320 Yes 05:27:47.320 --> 05:27:49.160 Now he's got like cheerleaders in the crowd 05:27:49.160 --> 05:27:53.680 But he's playing to get to that level and now he's got an opportunity to get a evil title under his belt 05:27:53.760 --> 05:27:58.500 Do it last year evil friends run her up against Arslan when he got to number seven, right? 05:27:58.500 --> 05:28:04.800 Yeah, but it was really looking like John Dean until the Arslan buff kicked in so there's a lot of stories a lot of 05:28:04.800 --> 05:28:09.060 International I mean my will just the same man one of the strongest players in Korea 05:28:09.060 --> 05:28:13.820 He's traveled so much been a long-standing place or an anchor and now has an opportunity 05:28:14.300 --> 05:28:16.560 To get into not only being this topic 05:28:16.560 --> 05:28:20.260 We'll make it to grand finals and find it out obviously coming from that little bracket not gonna be easy 05:28:20.260 --> 05:28:21.860 But still an opportunity nonetheless 05:28:21.860 --> 05:28:25.660 I'm always really impressed with my old because it's like in the previous game. He played 05:28:26.020 --> 05:28:29.880 Marduk and Geese. Yeah, it's like he never played Jack in the older game 05:28:29.880 --> 05:28:33.460 So it's just like the way that he adapted to techniques Jack in this playstyle 05:28:33.460 --> 05:28:37.420 Especially with the heat system and the gamma how armor and when to use it. He's been so on point 05:28:37.420 --> 05:28:40.140 But here we go.

06:05:20.980 --> 06:05:21.780 Take a look at him. 06:05:21.780 --> 06:05:22.540 It's a work of art. 06:05:22.540 --> 06:05:24.980 Yeah, it's the worst, it's actually the worst. 06:05:24.980 --> 06:05:26.780 But of course, his opponent, Malil, 06:05:26.780 --> 06:05:28.020 is going to be on the other side. 06:05:28.020 --> 06:05:29.980 And of course, he had quite the path himself. 06:05:29.980 --> 06:05:33.820 Yeah, he went through round one, fish 2-0, JT 2-0, 06:05:33.820 --> 06:05:36.980 and then fortress 2-0, Avery Rib also 2-0. 06:05:36.980 --> 06:05:39.260 And then 2-1 against AK. 06:05:39.260 --> 06:05:41.380 The Taki was on a run yesterday too, 06:05:41.380 --> 06:05:44.300 but Moyo was able to cane the beast a little bit 06:05:44.300 --> 06:05:45.500 and take it over Taki. 06:05:45.500 --> 06:05:51.400 And then top 24 takes it over the young blood from Korea rising star Crescent and also rang 06:05:51.400 --> 06:05:56.500 shoe the two time TWT champion is the one that actually sent me down here into the loser side. 06:05:56.500 --> 06:05:59.500 Well, like you said before, I mean, one of the players that actually stuck with this 06:05:59.500 --> 06:06:00.500 Jack 8, right? 06:06:00.500 --> 06:06:04.500 And really kind of turned this character and now has his own kind of play style. 06:06:04.500 --> 06:06:08.300 So I'm kind of like go off and venture a little bit with I think the Nina as well 06:06:08.300 --> 06:06:09.700 as the Victor for a little while. 06:06:09.700 --> 06:06:12.300 Yeah, he started the game off with Victor for a minute. 06:06:12.300 --> 06:06:13.300 Yeah. 06:06:13.300 --> 06:06:16.260 like switch back over, but now kind of forming this Jack 8 06:06:16.260 --> 06:06:18.300 to something that he controls a lot better, you know? 06:06:18.300 --> 06:06:21.420 Yeah, and Jack is so different, like, in a way 06:06:21.420 --> 06:06:22.660 from, like, the previous iteration, 06:06:22.660 --> 06:06:24.540 because you really have to find ways 06:06:24.540 --> 06:06:27.540 to get use out of your gamma house stand. 06:06:27.540 --> 06:06:28.060 Yeah, yeah. 06:06:28.060 --> 06:06:29.380 Armoring through some situations, 06:06:29.380 --> 06:06:30.980 especially some heavy blockstone stuff, 06:06:30.980 --> 06:06:33.020 like a dragon on party 2, and they can actually 06:06:33.020 --> 06:06:33.700 get a big benefit. 06:06:33.700 --> 06:06:35.740 It's almost like a parry in the other games 06:06:35.740 --> 06:06:37.300 to, like, blow through, like, a dragon on party 2 06:06:37.300 --> 06:06:38.500 and get a launch out of it. 06:06:38.500 --> 06:06:39.700 I feel like, at the first time, 06:06:39.700 --> 06:06:41.740 we've really seen somebody truly take advantage of it, 06:06:41.740 --> 06:06:46.000 Like at this level is my little and we got a lot of Jack players out there. I mean we got the Saints 06:06:46.000 --> 06:06:50.940 I mean you got the Joe crush. We got a lot of kids. Yeah, we got all the Jack players out there 06:06:50.940 --> 06:06:57.340 But I feel like he's definitely kind of shifted the dial of Jack eight to fit his form a lot more and it's got him a top-8 appearance 06:06:57.340 --> 06:07:02.280 So dude a couple of matches. I've seen where more oil has to like Jack's a big body care 06:07:02.280 --> 06:07:07.680 Yeah, yeah, he's not really gonna be moving around like the subpoenas or the Alisa's or anything like that 06:07:07.680 --> 06:07:13.320 So he kind of has to make those uncomfortable decisions a lot more on defense just raw blocking it right 06:07:13.320 --> 06:07:19.640 Yeah, and that means he's playing like I feel like the slower character means you have to play so much more outside your comfort zone 06:07:19.680 --> 06:07:22.520 But I feel like now he's ran into these situations so much 06:07:22.640 --> 06:07:25.400 He's starting to get like a full control over it 06:07:25.400 --> 06:07:30.640 So yo shout out to white cloth will hold us down with that path the victory path presented by white cloth surge 06:07:30.640 --> 06:07:35.360 It's actually really cool. Yeah, big shout out to them big shout out to all our sponsors here making evil possible 06:07:35.360 --> 06:07:38.200 But of course, no be man. We were talking about the three characters 06:07:38.200 --> 06:07:41.860 he has and it's so hard to call out which one he's gonna bust out at certain times, right? 06:07:41.860 --> 06:07:45.320 It seems like he's kind of been going back to the dragon off a lot more as of late 06:07:45.320 --> 06:07:50.660 Which has been great to see because season two it felt like his heart was a little broken ever since they got rid of the backswing blow 06:07:50.660 --> 06:07:56.140 Yeah, yeah, of course and on top of that you can see can't use it's like I've seen him try to use it in Manchester 06:07:56.140 --> 06:07:59.840 It's like this ain't the same. It's just like man. This is not pusive relations. I gotta stop using this 06:08:01.360 --> 06:08:04.960 But here we go we got both the legends up on stream 06:08:05.360 --> 06:08:13.840 Nobby generational player ever since like the tech in six days and he is the original dragon off running to style pioneer 06:08:13.960 --> 06:08:20.440 Yeah, and now look at all these other players in the world who kind of modeled exactly their entire game plan about what no 06:08:20.440 --> 06:08:25.640 Be presented with with this drag it off. What's up with you, baby? She looking beautiful out there waiting for this next master start 06:08:29.600 --> 06:08:31.600 We're getting excited now lose her side 06:08:31.600 --> 06:08:34.880 This is where elimination starts to happen now. 06:08:34.880 --> 06:08:39.240 Some of our favorite heroes will no longer be able to continue on after this. 06:08:39.680 --> 06:08:42.640 Yeah, I mean, you have to try their look at the next big tournament. 06:08:42.640 --> 06:08:44.880 And of course, they still got a lot of other games to play. 06:08:45.020 --> 06:08:48.920 However, right now, Evo does a lot for the TWT. 06:08:48.920 --> 06:08:49.400 Yes. 06:08:49.400 --> 06:08:52.680 He's a master's plus event as well as it kind of gives you some crazy 06:08:52.680 --> 06:08:55.120 momentum throughout the season, kind of lessens up to travel, 06:08:55.120 --> 06:08:57.160 especially when you get so many more points, you know? 06:08:57.280 --> 06:08:58.280 Yeah, absolutely. 06:08:58.280 --> 06:09:00.000 And of course, TWT standings. 06:09:00.000 --> 06:09:03.320 If you are in the top four, you get to skip the group stages. 06:09:03.320 --> 06:09:07.400 So there is heavy incentive to keep yourself top heavy in this point. 06:09:08.560 --> 06:09:10.640 Got the hand covering so you can't see the inputs. 06:09:10.760 --> 06:09:13.560 I like how you got the your muscle form on top of it, right? 06:09:13.600 --> 06:09:15.000 Yeah, super cute. 06:09:15.000 --> 06:09:17.240 It kind of reminds me of like the Ketope from back in the day. 06:09:17.240 --> 06:09:20.440 Yep.

I didn't know this was possible, and as soon as I saw that, 06:43:29.820 --> 06:43:34.700 I just signed up for Road to Evo and immediately tried my best to win. 06:43:34.700 --> 06:43:37.540 I started doing mixed martial arts from a very young age, 06:43:37.540 --> 06:43:41.380 so having Tekken, the game that's most similar to real-life fighting, 06:43:41.380 --> 06:43:42.980 it was an immediate hook for me. 06:43:42.980 --> 06:43:47.820 The first time I played Tekken was in 2011, 06:43:47.820 --> 06:43:51.300 and my first tournament was in 2019. 06:43:51.300 --> 06:43:53.660 My main character in Tekken 8 is Eddie. 06:43:53.660 --> 06:43:56.220 I started playing him since his release, 06:43:56.220 --> 06:43:59.500 and now, since season 3, I've started playing Lily, 06:43:59.500 --> 06:44:02.820 because I feel like Eddie is definitely a strong character, 06:44:02.820 --> 06:44:04.780 but he's also a very risky character. 06:44:07.580 --> 06:44:09.860 I've been practicing very hard at home 06:44:09.860 --> 06:44:12.740 during six to eight hours every day together with my coach. 06:44:12.740 --> 06:44:15.100 So I'm feeling very confident that all I could 06:44:15.100 --> 06:44:16.820 and now it's just time to play my game. 06:44:16.820 --> 06:44:20.060 Thankfully, I have a very loving and supporting family. 06:44:20.060 --> 06:44:22.060 When I started in 2024, 06:44:22.060 --> 06:44:25.060 they didn't really understand anything about eSports. 06:44:25.060 --> 06:44:27.820 As soon as I won the Arab eSports League, 06:44:27.820 --> 06:44:29.220 they watched every tournament of mine 06:44:29.220 --> 06:44:32.300 and I'm very grateful to have them support me everywhere I go. 06:44:32.820 --> 06:44:43.060 Last year, I qualified for EWC, so I'm expecting from myself to be able to do that this year 06:44:43.060 --> 06:44:44.060 again. 06:44:44.060 --> 06:44:48.020 I know my route is very tough, but it's no one I'm not capable of beating, so I'll 06:44:48.020 --> 06:44:52.860 just concentrate, focus, give it my all, and I believe I'm capable of doing that. 06:44:52.860 --> 06:44:58.100 I don't think that me lifting the trophy, the feeling could be explained in words, 06:44:58.100 --> 06:45:01.100 I think the only words for that would be amazing. 06:45:06.100 --> 06:45:09.100 The Chipotle Burrito Bus is here!

We got four of them. 08:47:02.640 --> 08:47:06.240 the 8-time EVO champion. 08:47:07.240 --> 08:47:12.040 Ever since he exploded onto the scene with EVO Japan to start it off in 2019, 08:47:12.040 --> 08:47:16.740 he has just made himself a household name in the world of Tekken, in the world of fighting games. 08:47:16.740 --> 08:47:17.340 Yeah, bro. 08:47:17.340 --> 08:47:20.740 Well, he's, he's gonna have to start counting on his toes too, bro. 08:47:20.740 --> 08:47:23.140 He's gonna have to, he's gotta get an EVO ring for the toe. 08:47:23.140 --> 08:47:24.040 That's what's gonna happen. 08:47:24.040 --> 08:47:24.540 Yeah. 08:47:24.540 --> 08:47:25.940 He's gonna need more hands. 08:47:25.940 --> 08:47:27.240 Bro, he gonna run out of hands. 08:47:27.240 --> 08:47:29.140 I'm telling you, before he run out of chances, bro. 08:47:29.140 --> 08:47:31.340 He gonna run out of hands before he run out of chances. 08:47:31.340 --> 08:47:35.460 your evil makes a noise your evil 2026 champion 08:47:35.460 --> 08:47:39.100 none other than Arslan Ash 08:47:39.100 --> 08:47:44.220 5-4 Arslan, the story continues man 08:47:44.220 --> 08:47:49.060 heavy contention, heavy contention across the board let's take a look back at that set 08:47:49.060 --> 08:47:52.860 it definitely could have went another way presented by PlayStation Tournaments 08:47:52.860 --> 08:47:56.300 and look we knew we kind of figured that we would see a change in the 08:47:56.300 --> 08:47:58.260 character you at least counted I had hope 08:47:58.260 --> 08:48:05.140 But great fight no matter what right? Yeah, at least he had an opportunity to switch up his approach and successfully did that 08:48:05.140 --> 08:48:09.660 No, he was definitely slugging it out with Arslan to hand mail back and forth 08:48:09.660 --> 08:48:16.260 But Arslan's going away early in the seventh the first two games right there a lot of big reads from Arslan to up or one over 08:48:16.260 --> 08:48:20.540 The low rage arts on defense on sometimes sometimes you've got to do it man 08:48:20.540 --> 08:48:23.500 You got to let him know that you're not afraid. Yeah, you're not scared 08:48:23.500 --> 08:48:28.020 I this is an option on the table, and I will use it but right there the step 08:48:29.300 --> 08:48:32.060 Arson asked no for a movement no for a defense, but 08:48:35.460 --> 08:48:40.540 With his reasons up like even with the lows getting punished a lot never straight away 08:48:41.820 --> 08:48:44.940 That last chance set right here. He started using moves 08:48:44.940 --> 08:48:50.060 He had not the entire day. Hell, maybe even the entire weekend. Yeah, the super team right there, too 08:48:50.060 --> 08:48:51.780 He hasn't really used that all the top eight. 08:48:51.780 --> 08:48:55.060 Maybe one other time all weekend, I remember, I see him. 08:48:55.060 --> 08:49:00.860 But Arslan and Evo just absolutely unstoppable 08:49:00.860 --> 08:49:01.940 for Las Vegas. 08:49:01.940 --> 08:49:04.300 Eight times in Evo champion. 08:49:04.300 --> 08:49:07.020 Whether it takes a character, whether it takes him traveling, 08:49:07.020 --> 08:49:09.100 moving to a whole another country, 08:49:09.100 --> 08:49:11.100 this guy is unstoppable. 08:49:11.100 --> 08:49:14.140 Like I said before, bro, he's going to start counting on his toes. 08:49:14.140 --> 08:49:14.980 Dude, that was great. 08:49:14.980 --> 08:49:17.420 And we have Evo France later on this year. 08:49:17.420 --> 08:49:19.380 That's when he got two last year. 08:49:19.380 --> 08:49:21.400 Dude, if he reaches nine, he's tied with Justin. 08:49:21.400 --> 08:49:23.800 I mean, look, bro, if he does the traveling, 08:49:23.800 --> 08:49:26.600 if he does the traveling, he can definitely make it a reality. 08:49:26.600 --> 08:49:29.640 And it's not going to be easy still because you're still going to see a lot of these 08:49:29.640 --> 08:49:31.200 players in the same run. 08:49:31.200 --> 08:49:33.900 You know, ranked you wants to get that down the work down the line 08:49:33.900 --> 08:49:35.040 somewhere in one of these terms. 08:49:35.040 --> 08:49:37.200 And we know how much Loha wanted that to. 08:49:37.200 --> 08:49:40.600 Oh, yes. So many competitors that are hungry. 08:49:40.680 --> 08:49:44.140 Yeah, man. It tells quite the story, especially for the Tekken World Tour. 08:49:44.280 --> 08:49:46.640 But now we have our eight time champion. 08:49:46.780 --> 08:49:48.980 We still got the T.W.T. to worry about that. 08:49:48.980 --> 08:49:54.140 It means there are definitely gonna be some matches that you guys are gonna see down the pipeline that have crazy fallout 08:49:54.140 --> 08:49:57.060 The consequences come from here. They want those runbacks, bro 08:49:58.180 --> 08:50:03.220 EWC is right around there's true events coming up. This is just one stop, right? 08:50:03.220 --> 08:50:05.060 We still got you with France as well 08:50:05.060 --> 08:50:08.420 Arslan has told when we were talking about it last year, right? 08:50:08.420 --> 08:50:11.580 It's like, you know, he doesn't look as strong going into this evil, you know 08:50:11.580 --> 08:50:13.900 But then he did it last year this year, too 08:50:13.900 --> 08:50:17.460 He doesn't look as dominant in the Masters events in the other 12 other events, but 08:50:17.460 --> 08:50:22.460 come evil time man. It's I don't know what's in the water. What's in the air here? 08:50:22.460 --> 08:50:26.460 He just locks in and turns it up. I mean I feel like it's just the evil air. 08:50:26.460 --> 08:50:29.460 If he was like, is this evil air that I'm breathing? That means I'm the best now. 08:50:29.460 --> 08:50:33.460 Oh yeah, as soon as he inhales the evil air, he's like, oh bro, I know I am. 08:50:33.460 --> 08:50:38.460 That smells like an evil trophy to me. That's a champion. It smells like another one man. 08:50:38.460 --> 08:50:43.460 Oh man, shout out to everybody though. I'm glad that we actually got to talk about this, 08:50:43.460 --> 08:50:47.380 about this, especially at length, what we've seen. We got to call quite a few of his matches 08:50:47.380 --> 08:50:51.620 as well, just looking at his path all the way through. And some potentially short fallings 08:50:51.620 --> 08:50:56.260 were he definitely could have failed by the wayside. So it's been a big fun topic to we 08:50:56.260 --> 08:51:02.060 also got any representation of a Ninja killer doing his thing too.

you have said that that's for real though. 09:42:35.440 --> 09:42:37.760 Of course, taking out Diago and it's funny enough that was the guy that 09:42:37.760 --> 09:42:39.440 was training Diago to get ready for that. 09:42:39.920 --> 09:42:43.760 in that first attempt. So it's kind of poetic. He actually defeated the 2-0. Now I'm in, of course, 09:42:43.760 --> 09:42:49.440 one of my personal mistakes. He's 2-0 everybody. 2-0 Fizz, 2-0 Reman, 2-0 Silly Goose, 2-0 V-Elder, 09:42:49.440 --> 09:42:54.960 and 2-0 Sheepo, just so he could be dominant here to perform on the grand stage. That's crazy. 09:42:54.960 --> 09:42:58.480 And it's not only poetic that he took out Daigo for this one and the fact that he was training 09:42:58.480 --> 09:43:02.800 men of foreign art trading Daigo for men of economic media, but now he gets the chance 09:43:02.800 --> 09:43:07.840 to avenge Daigo in round one of top eight, going up against men of R.D. You can see the 09:43:07.840 --> 09:43:11.440 the path right there. Nothing. This needs that as well. Right? Crime. Got you. Cool. 09:43:11.440 --> 09:43:17.040 Akuta Gawa. Highly. Tysa. Foxtra man. So many more shots. More of a manner as well. 09:43:17.040 --> 09:43:22.640 But Akuta Gawa, I did see him bust out the loop for Akuta Gawa. And I feel like he's, 09:43:22.640 --> 09:43:25.040 you don't want to play the Blanca man. I don't think he's going to want to. 09:43:25.040 --> 09:43:29.360 So I was having that talk for a couple of folks for sure. Definitely. So I definitely 09:43:29.360 --> 09:43:32.560 want to see, well, I mean, it does have the option, but I mean, personally, I want to see 09:43:32.560 --> 09:43:35.200 the chaos in the Blanca Blanca. That's just me. Just to fill it out. I mean, 09:43:35.200 --> 09:43:38.160 It's a three out of five and then you know men I have a pocket for the characters. 09:43:38.160 --> 09:43:39.660 You got a geef, you got a bison, you got a Luke. 09:43:39.660 --> 09:43:41.600 Obviously the product to the Blancachan. 09:43:41.600 --> 09:43:43.400 But we'll see how this plays out. 09:43:43.400 --> 09:43:44.660 Let's see some madness. 09:43:44.660 --> 09:43:46.160 So y'all ready for this top eight y'all? 09:43:46.160 --> 09:43:48.400 Please make some noise for one time for the one time. 09:43:48.400 --> 09:43:50.040 Oh yeah, we love hearing the noise. 09:43:50.040 --> 09:43:53.840 We can have, eats us here in the arena of Evo Top 8. 09:43:53.840 --> 09:43:57.040 Man, they're here to show all players are getting everything clean and 09:43:57.040 --> 09:44:00.360 probably before getting into it obviously for the Evo Championship. 09:44:00.360 --> 09:44:02.320 We want to make sure everything is crispy. 09:44:02.320 --> 09:44:04.320 It's going to be fun man, because as you mentioned, right? 09:44:04.320 --> 09:44:08.120 I would love to see the most electrified match in Street Fighter Entertainment with the Blanca Mirror. 09:44:08.120 --> 09:44:10.620 You know me? Like literally the most electrified. 09:44:10.620 --> 09:44:14.020 But yeah man, I mean, Mena is such a well-versed, well-rounded player. 09:44:14.020 --> 09:44:16.620 We've seen him on a multitude of characters, as you mentioned. 09:44:16.620 --> 09:44:19.520 Obviously the loop got brought out, but we've seen the mice, so we've seen the geeks. 09:44:19.520 --> 09:44:21.820 He's been able to be a Mena, so multiple people. 09:44:21.820 --> 09:44:23.620 And nobody's gonna know Blanca better than him, right? 09:44:23.620 --> 09:44:26.420 We might see a character that we've never actually seen from him before, 09:44:26.420 --> 09:44:28.720 just because he knows that Blanca has trouble with them, 09:44:28.720 --> 09:44:31.220 but tries to keep it low key because, you know, that's his main character. 09:44:31.220 --> 09:44:36.520 I mean the way this matchup is gonna play is who is going to land the bigger buttons for the bigger bigger build 09:44:36.520 --> 09:44:42.320 just to get quick into that block, that lightning beast that we all love to see and enjoy here from MenaRD 09:44:42.320 --> 09:44:45.620 so I'm actually excited to see how Mena reacts to Blanca ultimately. 09:44:45.620 --> 09:44:49.220 Like that's why I wanted to see the mirror just to see what he has the countermeasures to deal with that Blanca. 09:44:49.220 --> 09:44:50.220 So we'll see what's up. 09:44:50.220 --> 09:44:55.420 Yeah like what he's prioritizing right in terms of trying to stop or what he's looking for in the neutral. 09:44:55.420 --> 09:44:57.020 It'd be very interesting to see for sure. 09:44:57.020 --> 09:45:00.320 We are gonna see regardless we just don't know if it will be on his Blanca as well 09:45:00.320 --> 09:45:05.080 But Shigamatsu as well having a great year so far riddle order in general is having a good year 09:45:05.080 --> 09:45:09.240 They have junior under the ball. I believe her car is part of that organization as well 09:45:09.240 --> 09:45:13.960 What's crazy is that like we see Shigamatsu in this top-aid. He's not even on their SFL roster 09:45:13.960 --> 09:45:18.760 Ah, you know, I'm saying they might have to rethink that after this show and just as show how deep it is in Japan 09:45:18.760 --> 09:45:22.520 How much death of talent there is get them off the bench man. Look who he's dealing with in the winter side 09:45:22.520 --> 09:45:26.960 He does have a big chance man. Can Japan take evil worlds once again? 09:45:26.960 --> 09:45:31.320 That is the big story here, but you got a lot of the young Bucks, of course, in the top eight, you've seen it. 09:45:31.320 --> 09:45:33.960 One of my favorites, of course, is kills. You shout out to the Cubs, though. 09:45:33.960 --> 09:45:37.360 But people that don't know, he kind of looks like one of my relatives, because we like skin and all that. 09:45:37.360 --> 09:45:39.200 But now, this is going to be amazing, man. 09:45:39.200 --> 09:45:42.360 If Mena or Deca pulled this off, I'm on to you. Last year, it was a speed run. 09:45:42.360 --> 09:45:42.760 It was. 09:45:42.760 --> 09:45:45.600 He answered you. Everybody left packing. Everybody went home pretty early. 09:45:45.600 --> 09:45:49.320 But let's see, there's going to be a little bit of difficulty on the road to get that double, that back to back. 09:45:49.320 --> 09:45:51.360 Did you see what his driving force is? 09:45:51.360 --> 09:45:52.760 He tweeted about it this morning. 09:45:52.760 --> 09:45:55.800 Was it, I think, as he missed the Yakiniku? 09:45:55.800 --> 09:46:01.800 I was about to say yes, yes, yes, I'm a big bad guy too. So, you know what I'm saying? I actually know. 09:46:01.800 --> 09:46:05.800 No, but you look good, my boy. Hey, I'm trying. Hey, I'm saying we both trying. 09:46:05.800 --> 09:46:09.800 We all trying. So, definitely, we're looking at, I hope he gets his yakiniku, you know what I mean? 09:46:09.800 --> 09:46:14.800 In a celebratory fashion, but it's going to be fun. Obviously, like we talked about, it's going to be Shigamatsu versus MenRD first. 09:46:14.800 --> 09:46:18.800 But then we got TongTong Men versus KillsU on the other side. You highlighted KillsU, right? 09:46:18.800 --> 09:46:23.800 I mean, having an incredible, you're definitely the strongest representative out of the European region as of late, right? 09:46:23.800 --> 09:46:25.240 He got second at Capcom Cup. 09:46:25.240 --> 09:46:27.280 He's been doing an incredible job lately. 09:46:27.280 --> 09:46:30.600 But this is his first offline Top 8 since Capcom. 09:46:30.600 --> 09:46:31.880 Yeah, he actually got ninth. 09:46:31.880 --> 09:46:34.840 I think at CB or one of the two recent tournaments, 09:46:34.840 --> 09:46:36.080 he got ninth, he got very close, 09:46:36.080 --> 09:46:37.720 but now it's return to four, man. 09:46:37.720 --> 09:46:39.800 In Top 8, Winnerside is going to be a good one to watch. 09:46:39.800 --> 09:46:40.960 And then Tauntaun, man, I mean, 09:46:40.960 --> 09:46:42.680 I know a lot of people are unfamiliar with him, right? 09:46:42.680 --> 09:46:43.880 I looked up his results. 09:46:43.880 --> 09:46:46.040 There hasn't been much outside of this tournament. 09:46:46.040 --> 09:46:48.440 This is where he's really busted out and shown, 09:46:48.440 --> 09:46:51.080 but he is part of LaVision, which is founded by KSK. 09:46:51.080 --> 09:46:52.960 Yes, legendary third strike player. 09:46:52.960 --> 09:46:58.960 So it's so cool to see the different factions forming in Japan and seeing the different players to come out of it. 09:46:58.960 --> 09:47:01.960 Okay, well, let's take a look at our ego predictions, of course. 09:47:01.960 --> 09:47:05.960 I want to see who is correct here in terms of the percentages of who's going to win. 09:47:05.960 --> 09:47:11.960 47% goes to the favor of Menor ID. I mean, that is the returning champion, so I'm not surprised with that. 09:47:11.960 --> 09:47:15.960 Let me see, let's go to the 20%. Of course, a lot of fans around the world going for doble. 09:47:15.960 --> 09:47:18.960 Why the hell not? Let's do this recording content while he's on the stage, man. 09:47:18.960 --> 09:47:21.960 Come on, he's trying to connect with you guys every single time. 09:47:21.960 --> 09:47:27.960 I mean the percentages don't really represent, of course, the favorites in my opinion because it's all about who has the best day-to-day on this grand stage. 09:47:27.960 --> 09:47:31.960 I mean I'm already looking at killers like Carl Silva. I know he's been looking for that big, big placement, 09:47:31.960 --> 09:47:35.960 and he earned it. Now how far can he go going up against Douglas? 09:47:35.960 --> 09:47:39.960 We'll see. That's going to be pretty challenging considering Carl Silva doesn't play too many Elanians at that level. 09:47:39.960 --> 09:47:47.960 True, true. Yeah, that's, I think one of the big things that's really propelled Douglas in this tournament so far, right, is that he's been able to pilot Elayna at such a high level. 09:47:47.960 --> 09:47:49.600 I mean, how do you get that practice, right? 09:47:49.600 --> 09:47:51.160 We have so few eladers around the world. 09:47:51.160 --> 09:47:53.600 Like, again, we have Levi Hakai, you know, with America, 09:47:53.600 --> 09:47:55.800 some other players on trying to get to that 09:47:55.800 --> 09:47:56.640 over our level, right? 09:47:56.640 --> 09:47:58.200 But he is a legendary fighting game player. 09:47:58.200 --> 09:47:59.920 He's been at the top of fighting games 09:47:59.920 --> 09:48:01.560 for a very, very long time. 09:48:01.560 --> 09:48:02.880 But let's take a look at the bracket 09:48:02.880 --> 09:48:04.360 and see who's gonna be matching up. 09:48:04.360 --> 09:48:06.280 You guys, a little bit clearer of a picture 09:48:06.280 --> 09:48:07.920 about how we're gonna be moving across this thing, 09:48:07.920 --> 09:48:08.760 right? 09:48:08.760 --> 09:48:10.080 We're getting Shigamatsu versus MenRD set up. 09:48:10.080 --> 09:48:12.240 Then I told you, Tom Tom Min versus Kills U, 09:48:12.240 --> 09:48:13.720 and then the loser side of things, 09:48:13.720 --> 09:48:15.120 Jen versus Cryme. 09:48:15.120 --> 09:48:16.560 These are two players that have been struggling 09:48:16.560 --> 09:48:18.560 20-26 the results haven't been there. 09:48:18.560 --> 09:48:20.560 They musted out in this tournament. 09:48:20.560 --> 09:48:22.560 Top A they're going to be trying to ride that momentum 09:48:22.560 --> 09:48:23.560 all the way through. 09:48:23.560 --> 09:48:24.560 Though there are another one, right? 09:48:24.560 --> 09:48:26.560 He's been kind of soul searching in Street Fighter 6. 09:48:26.560 --> 09:48:28.560 That's really started gelling with the Atlanta. 09:48:28.560 --> 09:48:30.560 That's what sticks out to me about Crossover. 09:48:30.560 --> 09:48:32.560 Crossover has been the one that has been steadily 09:48:32.560 --> 09:48:34.560 building to this moment. 09:48:34.560 --> 09:48:36.560 Result after the result has been a bit better 09:48:36.560 --> 09:48:37.560 and a bit better after each tournament. 09:48:37.560 --> 09:48:39.560 And now he's found himself in the Top A. 09:48:39.560 --> 09:48:40.560 I can't wait to see how far he goes. 09:48:40.560 --> 09:48:42.560 Man, listen, this guy went through so many hurdles 09:48:42.560 --> 09:48:44.560 in terms of what character he really wanted to like. 09:48:44.560 --> 09:48:51.560 And you see that the world of seasons for the online tournaments, but he's found his footing with Saga, but look who we have on the stage 09:48:52.060 --> 09:48:57.760 These guys are the king of the jungle if you will both of these guys enjoy watermelons. I mean they play blocker 09:48:57.760 --> 09:49:02.960 Oh, yeah, what it is. Oh, yeah, is that a blocker? I was trying I was like better leaning over the desk 09:49:02.960 --> 09:49:07.780 I was trying to get a good look at it. I'm like I think I think it's like a blocker chain 09:49:07.780 --> 09:49:11.160 But I think it's like legitimately like one that has like a hoodie of men are deep 09:49:11.160 --> 09:49:14.180 I think you know I'm saying it's like the hoodies off so I was like men are D is the plush 09:49:14.560 --> 09:49:18.640 Well guys, we're just figuring things out here so we can make sure we have a smooth ride throughout the whole tournament. 09:49:18.640 --> 09:49:21.200 That mentality is just locked in here. 09:49:21.200 --> 09:49:22.320 That is tunnel vision. 09:49:22.320 --> 09:49:25.840 That is the man, the myth, the legend. 09:49:25.840 --> 09:49:29.360 It's a legend that's still going and still kicking ass, which is pretty crazy, man. 09:49:29.360 --> 09:49:30.240 Absolutely, man. 09:49:30.240 --> 09:49:31.360 I mean, we've seen it, right? 09:49:31.360 --> 09:49:33.200 I think Amanda himself has talked about it, right? 09:49:33.200 --> 09:49:37.120 How much mental fortitude and mental composure and training your mentality 09:49:37.120 --> 09:49:40.560 when approaching all these tournaments, when approaching competitions matters, right? 09:49:40.560 --> 09:49:43.840 I think that's the make or break and why he's proven to be so consistent 09:49:43.840 --> 09:49:48.080 over the course of a game where I mean barely anybody has been able to be consistent, you know, 09:49:48.080 --> 09:49:53.120 he has somehow figured out a code to get there time after time after time. So it's a really, 09:49:53.120 --> 09:49:56.880 really sick to see him go in. I feel like it looks like motivation is totalist that we got some 09:49:56.880 --> 09:50:00.880 replays on deck again as we're trying to get everything on stage all cleaned up before we get 09:50:00.880 --> 09:50:04.880 into this top eight but all I'm like, yeah, this is the replay.

That's fair. That's down to me. It kills you 60%. Of course, Tantan man, 39.6. I mean, I'm pretty sure most of that's from Japan, to be honest. Or Jamie mains, if I may ask. 10:10:57.980 --> 10:10:58.980 100%. 10:10:58.980 --> 10:11:02.100 back at what you said about the mentality he has. So late night at the 10:11:02.100 --> 10:11:05.100 Blink Respawn, shout-outs to Kills and shout-outs to RobTV that was both talking 10:11:05.100 --> 10:11:10.780 about like what's the mentality to have, right? So Kills, you straight up said if he 10:11:10.780 --> 10:11:14.700 knows that it's going to be a difficult bout, he's just gonna play without no 10:11:14.700 --> 10:11:17.500 fear as in like he's not gonna just sit there and play the regular old regular 10:11:17.500 --> 10:11:20.580 I'm gonna be super defensive way for this. He's just gonna go with what he 10:11:20.580 --> 10:11:24.580 knows in terms of mounting offense and he's just gonna let the opponent decide 10:11:24.580 --> 10:11:27.380 how they want to react. Now if the opponent can actually react in the 10:11:27.380 --> 10:11:30.940 proper way congratulations you actually get into that wave two going up against 10:11:30.940 --> 10:11:33.820 Killsby so yes I definitely want to touch up on that that is a great point 10:11:33.820 --> 10:11:36.580 that you bring up.

You're going to see this match that often. 10:43:02.620 --> 10:43:08.540 And not Krossova. Don't see this either. So one of the things that he was trying to do was get some early practice against the laners. 10:43:08.540 --> 10:43:12.820 But there's not too many high levels. I know he was trying to sort of leave out a combo. He probably left the building already. 10:43:12.820 --> 10:43:19.420 But there's no excuses in this grand stage. Already Dogura with good neutral control. Krossova is fine. It's almost in the corner. 10:43:19.420 --> 10:43:24.140 Oh, that's all Thogura is looking for right now. Right? It's just U-Joke and Krossova beating Krossova to the button. 10:43:24.140 --> 10:43:25.940 with punishing when he overextends. 10:43:25.940 --> 10:43:27.580 Punishing on the Zyger Nexus. 10:43:27.580 --> 10:43:29.940 This has been clinical for Dogarra so far. 10:43:29.940 --> 10:43:30.940 Just go. 10:43:30.940 --> 10:43:32.300 Going for the basics of all two goals. 10:43:32.300 --> 10:43:33.700 I like that going for lead. 10:43:33.700 --> 10:43:34.980 I like to stand in roundhouse pressure there 10:43:34.980 --> 10:43:36.980 just in case he puts a back dash or a jump back, 10:43:36.980 --> 10:43:38.280 but it was not enough to back throw 10:43:38.280 --> 10:43:40.880 to finish that first round for Dogarra. 10:43:40.880 --> 10:43:41.940 But I like that approach with Dogarra. 10:43:41.940 --> 10:43:43.080 Super aggressive. 10:43:43.080 --> 10:43:44.580 We all know Sagat's great offense, 10:43:44.580 --> 10:43:46.380 however, has walked speed from the lead sheets. 10:43:46.380 --> 10:43:47.220 Yeah. 10:43:47.220 --> 10:43:49.240 In terms of trying to get away from certain pressures. 10:43:49.240 --> 10:43:50.940 And honestly, I think that overhead back out throw 10:43:50.940 --> 10:43:52.540 was supposed to be a walk-recked one. 10:43:52.540 --> 10:43:53.940 And he just ended up getting the overhands. 10:43:53.940 --> 10:43:56.740 So yeah, I think that's a tough break for crossover in the end of that first round. 10:43:56.740 --> 10:43:59.740 But nonetheless here, he's starting to apply the pressure that he needs to go up against 10:43:59.740 --> 10:44:00.740 Goga right here. 10:44:00.740 --> 10:44:04.940 R.A. having a dry gauge of air, but they're both in the green, so nobody's hurting too 10:44:04.940 --> 10:44:05.940 bad. 10:44:05.940 --> 10:44:07.940 The capo with that style is getting represented here. 10:44:07.940 --> 10:44:12.340 I like that tip before that punish, kind of Spanish shorter to the DB possibly the 10:44:12.340 --> 10:44:13.340 overhead. 10:44:13.340 --> 10:44:18.740 Man, not an easy one with punish whatsoever, even with similar normalizations to it. 10:44:18.740 --> 10:44:22.540 And I'll tell you what, I lay down in the corner, she could definitely do some 10:44:22.540 --> 10:44:24.680 The Mahe, shout out to IAX. 10:44:24.680 --> 10:44:25.180 Thank you, man. 10:44:25.180 --> 10:44:26.180 It's pretty sharp on the Spanish. 10:44:26.180 --> 10:44:26.680 That's it. 10:44:26.680 --> 10:44:27.180 You can't know. 10:44:27.180 --> 10:44:27.680 Get it on. 10:44:27.680 --> 10:44:28.180 Oh. 10:44:28.180 --> 10:44:29.180 Damn. 10:44:29.180 --> 10:44:31.420 I saw the five o'clock shadow on the screen. 10:44:31.420 --> 10:44:32.660 What monitor we rocking on?

He called out the baby. He woke up across medium kick, right? 11:14:06.020 --> 11:14:09.620 It was so close to being his route the drive may show it 11:14:10.980 --> 11:14:16.900 That it definitely is an overhead that's never paid a bill in its life. You know what I'm saying? So double no special responsibility 11:14:18.060 --> 11:14:23.120 There's zero sense zero. I don't have to worry about that yet.

You just don't know how to condition him consistently 11:26:08.380 --> 11:26:12.820 He just have that many options. Yeah, I'm so glad you put it that way, right? It really comes down to the amount 11:26:13.820 --> 11:26:19.460 Like this is the fact that you can cycle so many things. It's very hard and his options all work together so well 11:26:19.460 --> 11:26:22.340 So like one answer is definitely answer for something else 11:26:22.340 --> 11:26:29.100 Yes, you have to really call out the one option that you're looking for and then like you could cover some of the other options 11:26:29.100 --> 11:26:31.460 But most likely you're giving up your turn while doing that 11:26:31.460 --> 11:26:34.140 It's not like you're going to be able to keep the offensive pressure going. 11:26:34.140 --> 11:26:37.340 So, yeah, I mean, there's a very much a problem here as we can see. 11:26:37.540 --> 11:26:41.180 Two of them in top eight here at Evo should have marked me doing the damn thing. 11:26:41.180 --> 11:26:42.820 That's a great move who set us as well. 11:26:42.820 --> 11:26:44.100 But it's all in the corner. 11:26:44.100 --> 11:26:47.620 We've seen that time and time again, you know, yo, man, this is I mean, 11:26:47.620 --> 11:26:49.780 this is this is a tall tale when it comes to blocking. 11:26:49.780 --> 11:26:52.060 You never think he's going to get this to all this fast. 11:26:52.580 --> 11:26:54.460 You know, like during the match, we're just watching it. 11:26:54.460 --> 11:26:56.860 And then out of nowhere, I just look down to the corner 11:26:56.860 --> 11:26:59.260 and there's a second meter income and it's kind of crazy. 11:26:59.260 --> 11:27:05.700 And that is all attributed to punish counter throws and of course those big button into drive rushes, so exactly right 11:27:05.700 --> 11:27:12.220 He does such a good job of sequencing his offense to really just make every block string count like in the heavies coming on out 11:27:12.220 --> 11:27:15.940 They're gonna build him meter and they're gonna shave off a lot of drive gauge as well 11:27:15.940 --> 11:27:21.660 So you always got to be pairing which then opens up like a short string it's a walk-up throw like it's just so many mind games 11:27:21.660 --> 11:27:25.180 They keep track of okay. Well for real this time ladies and gentlemen 11:27:25.180 --> 11:27:27.520 and we are going to take a small break, 11:27:27.520 --> 11:27:31.020 but we'll be right back to enjoy some more 11:27:31.020 --> 11:27:34.360 EVO, Top H, 3-5-6 action when we return. 11:27:34.360 --> 11:27:36.700 So please keep it locked, don't go anywhere. 11:27:36.700 --> 11:27:38.200 Yeah, yeah! 11:27:46.200 --> 11:27:48.040 Chipotle honey chicken is back. 11:27:48.040 --> 11:27:50.080 Step into summer with fresh grilled chicken, 11:27:50.080 --> 11:27:51.480 spicy chipotle peppers, 11:27:51.480 --> 11:27:53.940 and the perfect touch of pure honey. 11:27:53.940 --> 11:27:56.340 Open the summer with Chipotle Honey Chicken. 11:27:56.340 --> 11:27:58.820 It's taking Keaton Sweet to a whole new level. 11:28:05.320 --> 11:28:07.820 We are stronger together! 11:28:23.940 --> 11:28:36.400 and 11:28:36.400 --> 11:28:37.400 Prool? 11:28:37.400 --> 11:28:40.400 Have you ever used Rizarin Touch before? 11:28:40.400 --> 11:28:44.400 You just need to touch your phone and you'll be able to go back to your place! 11:28:44.400 --> 11:28:46.400 This is convenient. 11:28:46.400 --> 11:28:47.400 Right? 11:28:47.400 --> 11:28:49.400 Everything changed from the insert coin. 11:28:50.400 --> 11:28:51.400 Rida! 11:29:06.400 --> 11:29:09.900 Right?

Like you say, 12:04:54.220 --> 12:04:58.420 I mean like kills you, you see already I feel like he's landed more fiercest in this set 12:04:58.420 --> 12:05:02.380 than he did in the entirety against Fank, against Fennach, I should say. Everybody getting 12:05:02.380 --> 12:05:05.620 so good fighting this character, huh? Mind you, this is Top Shelf 5 right here on the 12:05:05.620 --> 12:05:09.940 side of kills you. What? Get up on the range for it? Not too sure. Of course, 12:05:09.940 --> 12:05:13.140 it was definitely an input error, but oh, that is a fairy in the hand. Give 12:05:13.140 --> 12:05:20.260 some cash on top of that and I'm going to kill you, kill you, the later that stuff right there. 12:05:20.260 --> 12:05:24.420 That again just making sure he comes down with a proper jump in right again. Probably 12:05:24.420 --> 12:05:29.700 was going to chip kills you out after that anyway so very smart. Just a movement of loan 12:05:29.700 --> 12:05:35.140 looks like a fucking. Respecting that probably strong but he's on the side of kills you. 12:05:35.140 --> 12:05:38.500 Defines, he's fucking. Now he has some putting of course the enhanced fans. 12:05:38.500 --> 12:05:41.500 All came off that stand fierce again. 12:05:41.500 --> 12:05:44.500 We've talked about it right there as a key component to the my game plan again. 12:05:44.500 --> 12:05:49.500 Now it's going to be another one, but she's about to act like a driver versus a fan coming out. 12:05:49.500 --> 12:05:53.500 Oh, close for the throat. No, no, no continuous block of bull shenanigans. 12:05:53.500 --> 12:05:55.500 Keep it nice and simple like that delay walk up. 12:05:55.500 --> 12:05:57.500 Roger strong looking for that countable. 12:05:57.500 --> 12:05:59.500 But the respect is there. 12:05:59.500 --> 12:06:00.500 He's going to be patient enough. 12:06:00.500 --> 12:06:03.500 I should withstand the wild lightning beast. 12:06:03.500 --> 12:06:06.500 Great check on the dry rush as well as earn himself. 12:06:06.500 --> 12:06:11.940 earned himself almost a corner for his own right. Huge draw on Taken. Wow, Shikamatsu 12:06:11.940 --> 12:06:16.020 just got raw for long a chance of it. It was a, you know, activation amount of hope. 12:06:16.020 --> 12:06:20.900 Yeah, that's a call. Never mind. I thought he was gonna get something going, dude. 12:06:20.900 --> 12:06:23.380 What, is that gonna be another throw? 12:06:23.380 --> 12:06:27.700 He's back. I like that, the jump back. Oh, over-extending watch, Shikamatsu, 12:06:27.700 --> 12:06:32.500 but Kyoji was on point with that, and ready. Yeah, he tells Shikamatsu like 12:06:32.500 --> 12:06:35.140 brought in the back throw, but he also didn't want to be predictable about it. 12:06:35.140 --> 12:06:38.280 It was tough, they kind of made him hesitant in his approach. 12:06:38.280 --> 12:06:40.580 Definitely a lot of people get some room and snipe that. 12:06:40.580 --> 12:06:42.520 And speaking of which, overhead this top, 12:06:42.520 --> 12:06:43.440 not too much damage though, 12:06:43.440 --> 12:06:45.280 there's visual plenary right there, 12:06:45.280 --> 12:06:46.880 it's a little tough to determine what was happening. 12:06:46.880 --> 12:06:48.580 Yeah, literally, he landed a clean hand, 12:06:48.580 --> 12:06:50.160 he probably respected the defense a little too much, 12:06:50.160 --> 12:06:51.820 respected the mindset, 12:06:51.820 --> 12:06:53.160 while he was trying to put in front of the staff, 12:06:53.160 --> 12:06:54.320 walked right into the slide. 12:06:54.320 --> 12:06:56.960 Unfortunate situation if it kills you. 12:06:56.960 --> 12:06:59.100 And he's down, half of the drive gauge, 12:06:59.100 --> 12:07:01.560 and he got a little breath now, but that level two, 12:07:01.560 --> 12:07:03.060 oh no, actually I'm looking at the wrong ball, 12:07:03.060 --> 12:07:06.740 excuse me it's all right right now i should not do that any near so you'll 12:07:06.740 --> 12:07:09.460 never worry about the install coming in anytime soon but 12:07:09.460 --> 12:07:13.220 my obviously with the install grown and it can't strike the period not 12:07:13.220 --> 12:07:16.900 blocking the overhead afterwards with those are gonna punch counter dp 12:07:16.900 --> 12:07:21.780 to end the kills you strike it first blood get that w man 12:07:21.780 --> 12:07:25.060 that might have been his first w actually no no no no what am i so 12:07:25.060 --> 12:07:27.860 coming on i'm so ripped like you didn't go to the witness might as well 12:07:27.860 --> 12:07:30.340 because men are deep i'll first up against bonka you know they go 12:07:30.340 --> 12:07:32.580 they go that's what i meant that's what i'm asking my brother very 12:07:32.580 --> 12:07:34.580 Yes.
