It's that nerdy, hello.
A wonderful day.
What a wonderful morning.
We're back.
We're back on the playoffs stream.
Back to the 1v1s back to the bracket.
Wow.
Season 9 playoffs is among us.
We have four incredible incredible matches for you all today.
Nerdy, how are you feeling?
It's early wonder for morning.
morning, let's go to the monkey. Yeah, I mean, I actually got good sleep last night. So I'm
happy about that. Hopefully the runners are in a similar boat. I don't know if I'm
really, I don't know if you can say that for yourself, but in either case, we've got a very
good match to start off the day. I cannot wait. It's going to be amazing. Yeah, four wonderful
wonderful games today. First up, as you can see, about us monkey versus blazing mind,
let's look at our bracket talking about the other three matches we have going on today
and the bracket space as a whole, like I said, first game,
Mungi vs. Blazeman, all the way down there in the bottom.
Second game of the day, it's going to be Silver vs. Skycrab,
very, very excited for that one.
Third game of the day, going to be right above that one as well,
Aquacord vs. NGB, and then fourth game of the day,
final game to round it off for this Saturday,
find Bergen vs. Hacks, and then, of course,
the rest of the four matches will be taking place at the same time tomorrow.
nerdy, what a bracket we have here six new playoffs players. That's going to be that this
most since season one and one season nine is not crazy. We've got seasons with only one
range player. Yeah, I mean tons of new players and yet a very similar looking bracket to last season
at least when you look at some of the sort of more in the higher seed players it looks very similar.
where we could end up getting a very similar bracket,
but hey, Fimer, you could stop hacks
from making the same story line that we had last season.
So it's all up to you.
Yeah, if certain matches fall the same way,
like you said, yeah, EDCR stone, the one seed,
this bottom half of the bracket, we saw
an in-female key last season.
We saw a dude among you last season.
That looks prime to happen if things go right.
We saw Aquacord versus Silver last season as well,
albeit in the first round,
but just the way the seeding shook up,
Any sort of once again, in team the two seed again,
do go down here with the three seed again.
And I guess, Mungi is again the 60.
So just the way stuff kind of shook up.
I think Loki must have been the seven seed last season.
But there is similar bracket if things work out the same way,
but there's so many good runners here.
And literally any game in this run on a 16 could go to any plot.
So that's good.
Look entirely different from last season.
Very very exciting stuff. Yes, but before we get into the monkey versus blaze mind match
We do have new player interviews for every single new player this fly off. So that's what a majority of our media segments will be
at least for the round of 16 because we have so many new players. So let's see
what blaze mind spots are what what he's talked about for his first season in playoffs and then we'll get right
another game. I'm Blast Mind. I'm a Minecraft beat owner for Australia and I
fell into 2021. How did you get into MCSR? So I started speedrunning because of
Wekwap. I saw his sub 15 video and like Wekwap so really good play up but when I
saw it I thought it looked pretty easy so I was like hey I could do that and
that's how I started. Did you play Minecraft a lot before you got into speedrunning?
Yes. I was mainly a PBP player. I think that's definitely what I got a lot of
my mechanics from just like having good settings and how does it feel to auto wall
to make your first rank play off? It felt really good. Last season I felt like I could make it in
pre-AlseQ but I didn't and then after that I was just like I don't want to play in AlseQ again.
It's just too luck based for me to confidently win. You watch AlseQ at all where you
re-use a prize by any of the results but I was meant to watch it but I overselect and I only got
up to what's the last thing.
Well that's right because it's like, it's like, who am for you or someone godly time?
So yeah, that's actually a challenge.
Yeah, I've got one out of full my predictions about which is A&HB.
I'm really like that, he's in.
I want to be feeling the most.
Mungi picked you, you're both Australian.
How does it feel to go up against someone like Mungi?
What does that kind of like for you?
I'm really excited, honestly.
Mungi is really good at the game.
I've beaten in A&Z offs, so that makes me confident, but I'm also just confident
because I know, even if I lose,
I want Mungi to win. He's one of the people on the win. He's been in all the playoffs and he's always been one of the top players
But I don't think he's really been able to prove himself. What do you what do you think gives you the edge over Mungi if you are going to win?
Definitely mechanics. Do you think you're just a nice mechanic? Yeah, me and Mungi have completely different game styles
He's more decision-making
I'm more mechanic so it could go either way depending on the seeds. It's just 50-50
maybe like 45-55 with money having the 55.
Being pigs has no chance against players, my no offense.
I had the advantage in like ains at offs because it was my time zone,
but not my time zone, but like a better time for me.
Now, now it's Monkeys time, late at night at a scary.
Is there anyone else who you like know pretty well on the bracket?
I think it'd be really nice to play against me and I know him.
We both have Steve Skin, so that'd be a really cool matchup.
He's also played against Loki, so if I win that, they're good because I win,
but if he wins it'd be like he beat both of the Steve Skin's.
Is there any player you really scared of?
Yeah, unfortunately, the person I'm most scared of is due to doubt.
If I win, it's most likely going to be my next matchup.
The thing with due to doubt, is he's a similar to Plyatine.
Well, all the seats are good at, he's better at, I don't know the seats are bad at, he's still better at.
You have any fun fact anything that you do outside the game that you're super proud of or working on or
The first thing I think of is I used to be a speak-a
It's more of a thing. I don't do it much anymore, but out of a moment in time
I was
Top 100 in Australia for one of the puzzles. That's cool. That's really cool. That's the vlog
I really appreciate you taking the time to do this because I know it's like some ungodly three, four a.m. for you
Well, no, I think we definitely have a lot more blaze, and fans of the chat activity
are those wonderful stuff.
Thank you so much TJ for adding that.
And I'm about playing my fan.
I'm ready to get into the game play.
Let's see.
Let's see if these want to stack up though.
Let's see.
Let's put some of some stats behind the gameplay here.
And see, obviously, in that video, like they said, blaze mine and mungie met
in the ANZ offs.
Australia, New Zealand, play off circuit, by the way, one, he's just a five on the season.
Better ranked average, better ranked PB, not a better win rate or peak you though,
though, nerdy, what do you think going on in this match?
Yeah, I think it's going to be interesting.
So I think these are two very different styles of play, of course, both being from Australia.
But the important thing here, I think, is that blaze mind is more,
much more than the mechanical side, where his monkey is more of a creative innovative runner.
is how I was, is how he's been described.
So definitely expect to see some very fast crafting,
maybe some crazy flex and stuff like that
on the BlazeMind.
On the Moogie side, we might see some very creative play
and something to, in order to save a little bit
of actual times here or there.
So it's gonna be close.
I mean, you can see there, like you said,
Fimer, the win versus opponents very close.
BlazeMind did win in a tournament setting though before.
So I don't know.
I think picking BlazeMind here might be a little of a sleeper pick.
I think it could go either way though.
Yeah, I mean three to one as well in that series. Not even at three to two in the NZoffs, but again
That's just one best of five and this is a different one of course. Let's look at the seed type stats before we get into the pickbans just glance over them
See how this how the pickbans kind of start to shape up this season
Looks like blaze mine significantly stronger here on temples 14 second better average 7% better win rate
maybe faster on the BT and shipwreck ocean seeds as well. Otherwise, looks pretty similar to me.
Kirill's what runners are going to ban this season. I don't know.
I've been talking just with a little bit of people, obviously, as I'd run around myself.
The temple and the village seeds have their own sort of built-in RNG now, sort of like the BT and the shipwreck sees the ocean seeds.
You can see it's right. Do you find the ravines? Sometimes there's no kelp. Sometimes two ravines look great. You go to one. It's fake. You go to the other one. It's real and sometimes that you know that doesn't feel like a great way to lose a playoff scene or just a lot of people try to avoid that.
to the bottom of them. But now, would like so popular in the meta on temples and on villages,
again, another way to just lose a seed on the spot. And even like, okay, maybe you can make up
20 seconds in a nav. You can make up 20 seconds on the bashing on the fortress, mentally being
behind into the overall world feels so bad as a player. Like, it's since the seed off and
such the wrong foot. So, let's see what these runners picked. Let's see what seed type we're playing
First, there's a village and a BT ban, one from each land and ocean, and we're going to the shipwreck.
Mungi, banning BT, go for the shipwreck.
Yeah, I think it makes sense.
I mean, the place my village ban, I mean, just looking at the numbers before we just saw here, like I significantly lower average win rate, and a little bit lower of the average time.
So, definitely, I think that picked there makes sense from Blazeman to BT, like he said, Fiverr, and then onto the shipwreck to start.
to start. I think the shipwreck can be a little weird, you know,
finding the the ravine can always be a little bit annoying. Um,
but hopefully that won't be an issue. Hopefully we'll get enough
iron to maybe make sure or something like that. I mean,
either case looking good. Yeah. Just just want that close game,
right? Just always. So like remove that hype or someone misses the
ravine. Headstone that maybe looks real, but as zero D,
it just has that magma on the surface of no lava underneath,
But should probably be anything, should probably, I think
much more interesting than BT because you have to figure out
Not like it's hard for any of these runners specifically, but
You have to figure out potentially what you're crafting right like there's maybe sometimes five gum powder in the food chest
Maybe there's a TNT in the food chest, and then I kind of pivot towards a more of a BTC. They got to figure out
What stone tools you're grabbing? What you're crafting with your iron and your shears and all that and your
Gold diamonds wherever you get in the chest
Obviously for these runners played
Thousands of rankings. They're not going to be struggling with it. Hopefully. I mean playoffs nerves
You never know. I mean I couldn't get to sleep for an hour last night just thinking about
I was feeling like I've been so zen the whole week and then I went to the end
I was like
Flaps is actually tomorrow like I got to actually play tomorrow now and now it's hitting them
But I mean for them. It's what two three in the morning as we get into seed one of season nine playoffs
big sea big, big shipwreck in front of us here. And maybe this is the
green. I know this one would be a crazy seed if it is because we could see a
runner play the shipwreck entirely, but I'm not sure if this is a real
ravine. Lots of food. A little bit of
a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a
extra. Years. Wood shovel. Don't think that's what it's
going to be. It's the own shovel. But expecting gold act, expecting
and shears iron pick, and I got some stews,
and some golden carrots in the future.
You can see the different trees here.
You can see monkey a little bit more
to the left, to maybe a little bit closer,
potentially to that ravine that we saw earlier.
Blazeman's got three trees on him.
He's a big monkey.
Only have this one.
This is just the micro that you get on these islands,
just that the difference maker here.
And monkey's got one stone in the wall there
for the shovel.
Blazeman's probably going to make the wood shovel.
And again, if it's like 30 gravel,
that becomes a little bit of a time difference for these runners.
Among these get some trees in the back here, this looks all right.
Blaze might have any of this trees as well.
And not going to mind the stone in the wall.
This is already crafted as shovel and blaze mine off the island,
just a second earlier.
It's a what are you?
You're traveling here, but so far, nothing.
I know if it's, if we have the grind in the portal,
then it's 10, 20, 30 gravel, that could be bad for blaze mine.
Because in no situation here, do you, you know, make this so in shovel.
you just kind of hope that it's the next gravel always. Right. And then sometimes just never is.
Let's see, ladies mind building the portal. Maybe a second.
One faster there. There's one keeping sheer. So a little faster on the specific portal build.
But what are the gravel rates nerdy? Look how much faster just the stone shovel is compared to the
wish double. Let's see here. Are we gonna get anything? I mean, this is taking a while here.
Man, we're just sitting here waiting for him. It's exactly what you called.
I mean, I guess the runner is, I mean, is this one shovel even going to break? No,
monkey finally gets it. But how long? What blaze man? This is five, 10 seconds. There it is.
Just off of the shovel. But he has to work on the bastion.
But you just get two in the row.
Two in the row again.
Yeah, two in the row again.
You've got bridge from the right.
Ooh, lots of damage though.
Five hearts here for Blaze Mind.
This could be dangerous.
If you can't even remember.
All.
Will you drag?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Scary though.
How's my right there?
And if you miss that boat or picking it's not boat.
Kind of spell the info blaze mind.
Jump boost stew.
I honestly annoying because
you can't get it. It just takes longer to
fall. It's just a net negative effect.
It is, but, okay, small thing and it wouldn't
matter at all, but in this case, technically
he could have jumped with the junk boost one
onto the stair. That could have been awesome.
But anyways, but you need to mind the gold
lock first. I know. I'm just saying, like, I'm
trying to come up with some analysis here
here at five or like just let me have my win. Okay. There was a niche like maybe line. Okay.
But I saw that. That was true. There's one of the second stew and it's night vision in the
net. I got a little bit of a raid going on over there. Jumpers not bad, right? Like you'd rather eat
that stew and just have enough of blindness. Sorry. Like that's probably the worst thing in the
bastion specifically weakness in the four is annoying for blazes. But both these runners
slightly different routing here. Different holes,
blaze mine, opting for autofunnel,
mungi trying to deal with getting this load stone
pegs saved. He's got three more pegs late right
now. Four, whoa, six pegs here late for mungi.
I don't know if I mean, he has more or not work,
we just had so little earlier, but just six
it extremely late. Pigs there and it's just so
important for bridge, right? You're training at 16 gold
blocks. Sometimes you're waiting for string, right?
like it's so impactful to have eight explosives instead of seven, six explosives instead of five.
Whatever it is, right, just the extra trades of your able to leave just a little bit
fastening your opponent and you're trading so much gold that every pigland's gonna matter.
Yep.
At least my does check the other triple here, it's up to 12, Bobby, so you shouldn't be
an issue on this evil.
I'll have to see exactly what you're waiting on, and I'll use 13, I'll be looking for
of the fort as a pearl hanging out of this.
If you didn't get the 20 though,
he's on 19 with more trades to go,
but of Blaze mine checks his trades
and leaves right now.
He's out faster, but nerdy Blaze mine has three string.
Wait, we can't leave.
Mungie, pulling back to the bastion
because maybe he didn't realize
he was leaving on three string.
A very easy mental mistake to make.
It's so hard to think of everything.
Yeah, especially in play.
How does he know?
No, it's going to look like to me.
Well, but he's not doing trades here.
He's going back for chests.
Oh, interesting.
Oh, 9-2-0.
He just left on 19.
And now he's gone.
So not a double-parallel.
I mean, he kind of saved a little bit.
But now it blaze mine clearly ahead into the fort.
Let's see here.
How much tray are we on here?
We need two beds.
Mungie has three beds in three craftable plus
Some anchors potentially blaze mine surely in the same situation.
Let's choose to go for the blaze bed there.
Double blaze bed in fact.
Interesting on open spawner could consider just using one bed for the blaze bed.
But I guess we have three anchors.
So blaze mine's got four by three anchor.
Good end up mattering.
You know, I'm just a little bit of a side set up.
You need all those extra explosives.
One extra explosive could be the difference, right?
Exactly, very, very hard zeros sometimes.
You need that extra one.
But a lot of zeros you can get down in four or five explosives,
especially for beds, two plus two, very common,
especially at this level.
So it's a, it's a very display that,
when you opt to not take,
because double blades, but it's just a little faster.
Can save you one or two blades,
spans in which could save you a cycle.
You see blades in my now, getting that, I measure it.
I think back to the portal while Mungi is now.
Did his measurement go in?
Yeah, I'm not sure what Mungi's gonna be able to do here
to make up the time Blazeman's got a gold pick
on very low durability.
In his inventory, I'm not sure if he has any more.
Mungi's got a full durability gold pick.
And Mungi has to measure two eyes.
I'm knowing a little bit of time loss here.
I think he'll pick those up potentially.
But how do you save time on this floor, right?
There's no strays that you can potentially play for.
You're just kind of at this spawner in a waste.
There's no other for it.
It's kind of all buried behind you.
You get a good perhine off.
Maybe you save time going to cords.
But Blaze Mine should be ahead into the stronghold
as he's leaving off of this last cycle.
Can Mungi leave off this cycle or does he need one more?
He needs one more.
He was later the four.
I guess he's this far behind on the cycles
as Blaze Mine's heading to cords.
There we go.
There's this cycle there for Mungi.
I believe it's just a few seconds behind like he said,
if I'm very an hour, heading into the strong,
look here for Blaze mind.
He hit a gray pearl on Cords,
messed up, you know,
specifically building the portal there for a second,
but that second pearl is directly on the Cords
and he's looking for the plant to spike now.
I think he's got two good spikes, though.
This is an interesting stronghold,
maybe a zombie spawner, maybe just some backward spikes.
You could swim here in the trist.
So if you can hit the 0, you can load that the seed has one more explosive than
long anyway.
So definitely, should be able to hopefully.
And it's open.
So with seven explosives on anything open, should be free, besides having so comfortable
here when you're not caged, should be able to get to 95 on, back, 85 and monkey just
being far behind to do anything, even if you get to the instant out, even if you get to
me in, nothing you can do.
A little bit of a shaky double bed from Blaze
mind, but he's got seven explosives,
probably going to have to use sticks here.
Good stuff should kill on this anchor.
There we go, not dead to the dragon.
And that's seed one.
First seed of season nine,
plus to Blaze mine new playoffs player.
What's his statements?
It's a big statement.
It's, you know, the potential underdog in a lot of ways,
obviously low receded player taking the early lead here, is this going to be a repeat of the
ANZ playoffs, we'll have to see. I don't know. Yeah, very, very unclear. Um, because Mungi, you know,
apart from that fort mistake, uh, or like, travel a fort mistake, I got to start like leaving the
bastion on 19, maybe just, you know, thinking he got an, and I'll be treated to very, I'm burling
Now, oh crap, I saw it in 1990.
Lost in a little bit of the time in the bashing,
you look at this splits,
was a head by seven seconds
and the bashing behind by five seconds into the fort.
But you lost an extra 20 seconds in the fort.
Is that because you lost a blaze on someone,
you need an extra cycle,
did he throw bad pearls to cords?
I know we had to measure two eyes
and blaze on an elevator or one,
but that doesn't feel like 25 seconds worth of time.
But apart from that, you know,
19th of August, I don't think Mungi
necessarily did anything that wrong.
You know, the Natsplit within a second.
Overworld, obviously eight seconds there,
but that's Stone Shobba Wood Shobba
just, you know, difference in play.
I don't think Mungi was necessarily,
maybe he was going to those trees
because he knew there was one combo in the wall
and was valuing the Stone Shobba that much.
But it feels like a silly thing to do
when the rates are average, right?
Like 10 gravel, that's like one second difference.
maybe two-second difference, bone on one shovel.
It only really benefited him here
because the rates were so bad.
The blades might want to like, red durability on that wood shovel.
So it's interesting.
I don't know where those 25 seconds of time loss came from.
Potentially just bad pearls to cords.
You know, I was watching the blaze mines here
that happened, but blaze mines pearls to cords were beautiful.
That second one literally landed on cords.
So if Mungi even had to run for five seconds after a second
early get there, that's just times like if the
Bladesmaid has them on you doesn't so maybe just on that terrain
nav.
I don't know.
Just I think a lot of little things in the
other there at last time for Mungi compared to
Bladesmaid, but I don't know.
It definitely was a decently close map overall.
I mean both players entering the end, of course.
I'm excited to see I mean these are two very different styles
of play in general.
So I'm curious to see what these future matches hold
for us. I definitely do not think this is over at all.
Mungi is a good mentally. He's been able to, you know,
claw back before. So what to see what happens in the future.
It's like, like we've said before.
I mean, this is Blaze Mine's first playoffs.
That's a great start.
But, you know, maybe I can see a world where, you know,
maybe Mungi wins a match, right?
This is Blaze Mine able to bounce back after a loss.
Well, to see, or maybe he won't even lose.
Maybe he'll just win three in a row. That's also a total possibility.
Yeah. I mean, Mungi's got the time slot.
I'm slot buff, he's played in, you know, any playoffs,
plays on like you said, I'm playing any,
he's got the playoffs experience.
I don't only have the time slot buff, but the nerves buff, right?
But Mungie's been to top three, Mungie's been deep
in playoffs multiple seasons, right?
He's been in situations like this before.
So can Blaze mind respond if Mungie wins this next to you?
Is it going to make him crumbling?
Depending on how the loss goes, right?
Some losses are not all the same, right?
Like, some losses are different than others.
the way you lose the mistakes that has it, right?
Like, you sky-crab yourself in the found
that's gonna feel a lot different than losing
by two seconds, I don't know,
like, some sixable seed or whatever,
like it's gonna feel a lot different mentally.
But, nerdy, as we are already gonna see too,
what has monkey picked for us?
And he's seed pick band situation here.
Is it gonna be desert tempo or room portal?
The only two seeds we have left,
I'm gonna throw it over the picks in a second and see.
Oh, and watch it alone, ZZB.
Well, actually, ZZB, we're not throwing the picks,
but yeah, Desert Temple is the seed pick, I guess.
So, don't have the screen for that at the moment,
but it is temple.
And I wasn't gonna say, I guess we'll throw in the match
whenever the match gets started, but I was gonna say,
I think room portals the safer pick,
oh, who does their temple?
Because obviously, you have to play both.
You can only play every seat that I've once before,
you can read me at them, right?
So the first three seat types always have to be played.
We're playing best of five, you'd have to lose three out, right?
So I have to play all three.
And I think, does our temple has that like tilt factor?
Like room portal, you can never really be,
I guess if you misplace on me, right?
I say that, but I've been entered,
like a minute behind on the room portals,
which was like, do the whole thing,
and then plays it to the second one misses.
It hits a little stair in the back,
and it's like, well, I lose.
A room portal is very linear as a seed type.
You're not really gonna lose 30 seconds,
but a temple, it's that woodlight situation, right?
We see this lawful already here to the left
in the middle of a mesa, right?
So, where's the gravel in the mesa, right?
Where, I don't see any river on our screens,
so there's no gravel.
Oh, so I'm wondering if there's no gravel
at the bottom of this temple,
I don't know where we're getting gravel,
and so I think desert temples are scary,
Because we are in a money situation, you start the wood like first or at the same time.
And then you lose 20 seconds on the enter for woodlight orangey.
Like that, at least to me, and maybe I have a weak mental, that's like brain shattering.
Right? Because a lot of the time, especially going into a player as good as Blaze might.
If you're 20 seconds behind in the world, that can feel like the seeds already over.
Yeah. It looks like maybe we're just going to head over to this river to the right here though.
Hopefully, able to get some gravel.
Did not see this breaker off-spong, but it is here.
Eight iron, two diamonds for a sword, Blaze Mine just got an apple
from blowing up this tree.
That's pretty big.
We only have 10 flesh and one gap.
We have gold horse armor kept by both runners
for distracting piglins.
That's some good, not a new tech,
but a lot of runners more focusing on it
in the big 2020-26.
As we look for our gravel,
Mungi, and we're not blowing it up.
Interesting here.
He's just going to grind it on the way.
So this is a little faster.
But now Mungi's the person hoping the rates are good.
Last season, he was hoping the rates are bad.
So instead of the overs, which level now it's TNT versus iron shovel,
but the iron shovel gets it done eventually.
And it looks like Mungi's going to be the first to the lava pool.
No, we did for lava pools.
And look at this, Blaze 9 finds one over to the right.
Now, using the TNT to build that portal,
and he should actually be entering first.
And it's not too much time, only a few seconds similar to Lassie, the Mungu, first out of the gravel, first with the flint, just the farther lava pool.
And he's messing up the portal break there, the water, the water drain, I should say. So pretty far ahead for Blazeman and instantly no different terrain to the Basin, Blazeman spent a few seconds looking,
Bash and very far away back left.
He's going to take this left terrain,
monkey building over the right.
Cause I think the Bash is,
yep, there it is.
It's almost there.
She's going to be interesting.
I mean, now what we see Blazeman has to,
but it looks like he's just sort of connecting
to where, obviously, this is a laser.
He's fully dead.
I don't know yet, there's no way you gotta fully reset here.
And that is now a huge advantage there for monkey.
Wow, that is that that is crazy.
I mean, what's the general drugs? I didn't fully see. I just I saw I had a boat out of me was a block away from
it's just in a moment just like that gone. Maybe I mean it's just he's feeling the pressure right?
Maybe that's something I don't know. Oh, pigland dead for monkey, but is that something he goes for in a
rank game right? Like is it worth that risk that that's second of time say that most on the movement
there instead of building, you know, one or two extra blocks. Is that worth it or is that? Are you
feeling the pressure and playoffs there? To try to push yourself as far as possible mechanically
and unfortunately for Blazeman, he slipped. And this is also one of those deaths where not only
is it punishing obviously time-wise, but Muggy is going to be able to react to the fact that he
died, right? He's going to notice that Blazeman has not even entered the bastion probably for the next
couple of minutes here. That's going to be a big indicator to money that he can take his time.
He can play a little safer. Maybe, you know, go for safer setups on the zero or maybe go
for the ones like, if you absolutely need to. And that's really important to see like this,
right? Like looking among you situation right now is at four hearts. He has seven flesh.
We're in treasure. So he doesn't see the fort. He might want to break the spawner. That's going
gonna take some parts, right? So maybe monkey ops to slow down and even hunger reset with an anchor
in the middle of this net, instead of playing the fort on one hurt. You'd feel pressure to do that
if it was, oh my god, look at place-mind's law, look at the way it regenerated. Maybe monkey
didn't even have a lawvable. Look at place-mind's goodness. Wow, that's wild. I think he could have
still built it here. Maybe not. I mean, this is a safer play. But this is a crazy
lot of land. My craft is a crazy game. This is a rank-mod thing though for sure, but
he's got the portal built. Had a couple lava spares, so maybe he would have had enough.
And he's going to off the take the same left to ran here. Will he go for the same exact
and blow clutch. Hopefully not, or at least you know, do it correctly this time.
Let's see now, do we see the four here? Are we going to have to break
spotter? I think that was it on Muggy screen there to the right. So,
how do you guys go to the point now? Well,
while the pearl kind of itky, but again, nerdy like you said, he knows that blaze mine
isn't even in the bastion that he's already had any of the four. So he knows that like
Mungi, maybe there's not enough time to one cycle if you know you get max purchase
three minutes as two minutes of time loss did plays my lose two minutes yes but can
he play the seed fast you know muggy starts playing a little slower here and there
so I don't know if the one cycle is something that we're gonna see mungi go for but
he can play this for safer knowing that lays mine just now on to the bashing
now that advancements start to roll and he realizes okay must have just failed
the speed bridge, oh, blaze for money. He's going to eat that gap that I say,
I'm sorry, and this is not a spawner, but just three stray blazes up here. So maybe
there's trying to play out the audio. You know, you're a lot of blazes. It's like,
okay, maybe they all just spawned at the spawner, but no, monkey is still looking
here in this warped and other stray fortress. Some vine park or, oh, and he slipped off
the vine. Now the blaze is hiding in the vine. Lovely situation among his blaze,
mind working his way back in this treasure.
And now, Mungi, at the spawner, how's it big now?
There's a little scary, but he should be able to handle this.
And he can afford this time, also, right?
This would be something very tilting if this was like, you know, close match, right?
You're at this spawner all this time, like, he's not, he's not blazing in team, right?
Like, maybe he's going to get two spawns on the spawner before he can clear it out.
So this, something that's potentially very tilting in a lot of seeds for Mungi right now
is kind of like, oh, that's fine, whatever, right?
because he's so far ahead at this moment.
I'm sure this time was good matter, right?
We've seen strongholds take five minutes,
10 minutes for people before.
But odds are it's not gonna matter.
odds are among you can sort of just laugh
this sort of inced R&G off in the moment.
So many bad timing anchors as well.
It's just like, this should be a very clean seed
from here on out for among you, at least hopefully.
As he gets this teensy clearance going,
it's a little awkward because of this tree.
You might try to do a 13 and T here.
I don't know if I've ever seen three T and T being used one at a time like this,
but it is happening today.
Monkey pioneering the struts has blaze mine now in the fort.
And for what it's worth nerdy,
monkey messed up like not messed up necessarily,
but just had a lot of slow downs in this fort.
If blaze might get to the spotter right away,
I feel like you made up a really good chunk of time here.
Yeah, I think just think a lot of micro stuff or whatever. I mean, I will say the rates are pretty bad and I think Phil had money to take a while like he said, but I don't know, it's definitely possible that he could try and
Law some time back and potentially, I mean, just put a little pressure on money, you know, maybe like it's like a slightly hard zero, right? I mean, that's the idea that you want to do if you're behind is just put pressure on your opponent. Hopefully make them make a mistake.
It's a lot different, like, okay, if Mung's entering the end and it says Blazing on some of the bastion, it's like, okay, I'm never going to go for the month cycle.
But it says, and he's entering the end and, like, as you in the stronghold blazing on blind, it's like, okay, well, maybe he's only a minute and a half behind.
And if I don't go for back 103, maybe he hits it, right? Because he knows he has to go for it.
So even if it's low odds or hard zero, hard explosives, maybe you have to try to send a chase down, like, you're putting that pressure on by staying in the game.
the game. Yeah, it's not enough.
We got the best ones doing. And only on one rod,
monkey already leaving to court. So again,
not like monkeys are going to be losing the three minutes of time.
So if you had from plays,
my I'm going to full reset, but it's at least close.
And also another thing like this train here from monkeys really bad.
So, you know, maybe if Blaze might can find some secret terrain,
want to dig as much, but in either case here we go. We have Mungi entering the strong
with here. From Mungi's perspective, he hopes are a really good stronghold. If this stronghold
is really bad, that could absolutely give place mine the chance to cross some time back as
well. So let's see what we have here. That looks like you got to be clean spike through the
rights.
in the way, but there's a spike right there, so many beds. Hopefully should be able to hit this
zero. Yeah, seven beds to hangers. It looks like it's caged kind of overhang instead.
What tower are we going for? He's got enough blocks. What is going to send this? It's back
Okay, it should be very should get to 90 or a little stuck.
Good boat out, but he stuck on the boat.
Can't break it.
That means he's probably only going to 90 here.
Ooh, yeah, let's see if the dragon flies.
It definitely could.
Wow, no fly on 90 from muggy.
Beautiful.
Beautiful stuff.
This should be very clean here for muggy from here and out.
One more explosive and there we have it.
loggy take seed number two is a tie game forward.
Yeah, I mean, hard to say,
seed just so one sided after blazing lines
that heading to the bashing,
but Mungi again doesn't look like you made,
I mean, you know, major mistakes, right?
I mean, lost seed one off that one mistake in the bashing,
decision making situation.
And here, I mean, got stuck in a cage,
but that's kind of just parallel RNG, block RNG,
whatever you want to call it.
Um, look at how much time
Ladies, my mate back. Look at the minute, 20.
Yeah, that's not even just on the foot.
That's 40 seconds to the foot,
and then 40 seconds to the shuttle.
Yeah, no, I mean,
he's totally eased off the gasp, I think.
And that could hopefully, that's, you know,
like you said, hopefully that is him
easing off the gasp that'll maybe playing safe
and whatnot, but honestly like,
blaze might, I mean, okay, ignoring that one mistake, right?
I feel like Blazeman is playing really well today.
I don't know.
This is looking good for Blazeman.
If he can bounce back, I think.
If he can bounce back, take the, you know, be like, okay,
I took it down there, that was stupid, whatever.
I'm gonna move on to the next seed.
If he's mental looking bounce back,
I think he's looking pretty solid,
despite having lost that seed.
Yeah, I mean, seeing a minute, 20,
on like the just the method of split alone.
Yeah, even Mungie's playing a little slow,
like because you know, as you guys have that time saved,
that's still a lot of time, like actually,
like if you're trying to play a little slow,
maybe that's 10 seconds.
Bro, 20 seconds here, all right, like maybe it's like,
okay, I'm just gonna spend a little bit more time
to be a minute and 20 seconds, like,
that's a decision making difference.
That's, you know, obviously we saw Mungie
had the big magnitude and had the way they were
scaling on the spawn, or the blazing team
wasn't the best, so maybe he lost a little bit of time
on the cycles there, not entirely as small,
but again, a minute, 20,
It's a good look for Blazeman, very good look of your Blazeman fan heading into this
match.
I'm going to see three nerdy.
We've been told the seed picks are fixed and we're going to be going to a ruined
portal seed for seed three.
So they'll be the 7 nerdy, what do you think?
I believe so.
I mean, hey listen, they're both very strong.
There's a whole bracket though, you really think on the first one.
I want to believe. I want to believe okay. Let me dream. Let me dream of these writers getting a sub seven since I can't get a sub 10 and
Okay, but anyways, I I believe I'm
Yeah, it's possible right? It's so it's so dependent on
Not only like you can have a looming suit that's just the right if it's just the looming sword in
in the chest or like you don't get to go to action.
I don't know if I'm for the pick action.
I only food.
There's no mobs on the island, right?
It's so dependent on the entire picture as a whole
that we're not going to notice, we're not just,
we're not going to look at it again,
so we're going to look at it another, right?
Like again, if you enter with 20 iron nuggets,
you only need to get seven, right?
It really depends if it's treasure
that's kind of annoying with the route.
If it's bridge even more annoying,
what if a thousand, you might be able to break the chest at the top,
make the iron pick by the time you're ready to mind the go box so there's just no
time loss potential there.
We'll have to see what the sea looks like. It's going to be good. I mean obviously there's just so much
potential. I mean I feel like room portals can be so annoying on sea's where they're
they're slow right when you don't get a completely one when you don't get a lot of food nearby.
Those are cool predicts you're mimey. I don't know if you've got to go work without your
Yeah, but at the same time I think it can also be so fast and that's what I believe from playoffs
I'm I'm hoping to see some some speedy Minecraft gameplay. So let's see what this real portal has in store for us
Oh my god, is this gonna be a bucket is there crying here? Oh, my other is going to be a bucket
That's kind of exactly what we said. Oh, but we have enough for a pickaxe 55 nuggets that's six in gets
It's beautiful.
It's my kind of chicken here.
There's a couple more chickens, but one's already taken a bath.
Chicken would be best option.
It's the worst.
It is the worst out of the four, because you can only get one.
And it's just tied for the worst quality.
I think chicken and mutton are the same.
I think that's right.
Totally sure.
You can see this.
Okay.
Pickaxe bucket, some food, right.
We have the gold ax.
pick as well, right? A lot of bash them out. It's treasured. Benefits a lot with the gold picks.
Stables money a lot of blocks the gold pick as well. Housing by a bridge knowing when it's kind of not the best to go pick.
But you can use the gold pick for blocks. We need to terrain management as well. Oh, no, it's a good
important. We got some food. They're in another pretty fast. Monkey, not opting. Oh, I was going to say not
opting to do the fast completion, but there's trying on the bottom blaze mind. Opting for it, but
a little shaky. I guess he just got here. Oh, no, he needs to save a lot of, oh my god,
he's just somehow a hole that saves the lot of that. And he's got it over this drain though.
And he made it a little worse. He's already on their mission. But nerdy, at least he didn't have to
reset because all that love was gone. It's over, right? I got some minute 20 seconds. And it's
Oh, we're not only for the seed, but maybe for the mental for the matchup as a whole, right, blaze, man, you died.
Well, I look at this.
Muggie had to block the lava, we'll blaze my be able to get off.
I don't think he does.
And so monkey now able to do a double triple route and blaze my heart.
Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, it's just looking so scary.
Oh, my god.
It is double triple.
He's blocking himself in.
And I've muggy full block that with dirt as well.
I guess it's an Instagram Gold Shovel.
Blaze mine didn't check.
Because muggy has no shovel and I think it went to my knee
as 15 dirt and he's presumably been using it to build.
So is Blaze mine gonna do triple to gap here?
And just hope that muggy gets on lucky on double triple
because muggy's played the double triple here
and this is a really fast seat if it hits.
It's an eight chunk spawner.
is that what blaze mines going for the look at that much oddied money just got there
15 that's not it's about the pearls though it's about the pearls in the string right if
money has no trades
fifty two string
there's some for all the stack of pearls one fire as
23 string, a little bit low, but yeah, low explosives.
That's the interesting thing, right?
And it's what do you do?
You already committed.
He's just going to send it.
He's just thinking, there's some glowstone on the bottom here.
Is he going to go punch the glowstone?
Get enough just the one cycle?
That's the plan.
But blaze line, if monkey can only one cycle, blaze
monkey gets enough explosives here to zero.
That's, you know, potentially two minutes.
Absolutely.
of time difference and yeah, how many explosives exactly do we have here
oh my god, he's got a go box to see him go trade those interesting is what a play
Wow, yeah, also get inside there for gold blocks and the pork shop nonetheless
and this room portal low food see blaze mine needs that chest right about now what
I mean saying fine from monkey was he looking for that on purpose. I mean
He fell down there, that's just that's insane.
Yeah, that's a really creative play.
I'm not sure if he was looking for maybe
just he couldn't have been looking for the food as well.
I mean, that's just like insane chefs
though to get three pork chops and four gold blocks
or it was a five pork chops and that's ridiculous.
Yeah, a maximum chef.
The gold blocks, I think they're like a one and five.
And then the pork chops can be raw half of time.
And they're not even guaranteed in the chest.
Like half the time you open that and it gives you like four
souls and three, neither roots or fungus.
Well, I don't even know what they're called.
I have no idea, but Blaze mine at the fort basically at the same time.
It's closer than it looks.
I don't know what the explosive count looks like, and the thing I will say to keep in mind is
Blaze mine is on three and a half hours with no food.
Yeah, so we're not going to waste.
I'm probably twice on this.
Yeah.
He needs that.
Yes.
If a Blaze spawns on, and they should have split the chest, like monkey, you need to go all the way
I've been into the food and it should have been like,
oh, I'll take this half, you take this half, you know,
I got into the chest first, but I'll share with you
it's fine, but no, muggy takes everything.
Blaze might need this poor child's badly,
and muggy's still, he's got zero materials.
He's got two beds for anchors, but it's a little awkward.
You'd rather have four anchors, two beds.
Some setups, the anchors will break if you place them
where the beds are, or like they'll break the crystal.
So it's a little weird.
Blaze mine's got five beds and one anchor.
So they both have six explosives,
but an insane variety and just how they've got
these explosives with the crates that they have.
Cause Mungi, again, punched like 20 goes to them.
Blaze mine one hard now, got hit by a blaze.
If you can spawn on, it's kind of just GG.
Oh my god, it scares me.
That blaze's flying.
I do not like standing there on the smaller one heart.
I will say that.
I like the area where I want heart.
But in the spotter's probably bottom 10 places overall, you know, they're all bad in the spawners worse.
And this is just more of time saved among you's going to have a replacement because plays might have to hunger reset here.
And then again in the straw, among you has eaten his first of five pork chops.
Yeah, it's just a.
And as I'm full.
I think off this direction with the Pearl Hang as he waits for the last laser cycle
that he'd be needing to hear hopefully.
I remember it was ahead on the cycles though.
I think the first, I think the I-Brow, so we're going to need to get seven rods instead of
six.
Unclear, could get strays being on to a deer, it's possible on this crimson pretty rare,
but it is doable.
Doable and placement of that first look at this now mungy on 11
Maybe just some fire arms you with the clearance but blaze mine out
Significantly faster and sure yes
I'm the reset in the stronghold right, but that doesn't take 30 seconds
There's the throw hang there for monkey
But blazing
You get better close
of the
kind of just looking in the
law, and I think that is what
you have to do, but if
monkey whips it in the
law and closer to cords,
maybe as the billbust,
the place mine's in.
This man is in indeed,
and I was looking for a
spike, not getting anything
amazing to be in a mine
through this wall.
To be called here.
Now, maybe got a
other spike.
Well, great math and
Blaze mine fell through
the four way.
And the hungry sits coming in
Well, does he have enough explosives?
How do I say that?
I don't know.
I guess I'm also okay.
I mean, he lost some time from that, but unfortunately, it's not enough for money to make it back.
Even though he's right here, I mean, maybe if there's years a little achy for blazing on,
but that's so much time and it's front 94, blazing on, should just be able to get 99 here and close out the seat.
Did he pick up everything?
He's got five beds in one acre, yeah, he did.
Wow.
Oh, he misses the second arrow on purpose though on purpose
One for the
Wow, people still for the beautiful people still wear it as the extra blades come from I don't know. I don't know
Maybe in his mind. Okay. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You know what? I'm sorry
I'm sorry. It's really bad joke. I'm so sorry. I formally apologize. I
Formally would like to apologize for that. As blaze mind takes the second the second see you
I need a monkey choke at the zero as well.
Too bad for anchor.
That is an interesting thing to know, right?
If this was completely even, too bad for anchor, like double bedding is, I'm not, I'm not
going to say it's easy, but it's free for top runners, right?
Too bad is off too, right, Clicks?
Double anchoring?
That's a lot more mechanical, right?
And someone like Mungi who hasn't grinded at the mechanics, like the Duga as a world that
W drives the world, like double anchoring, except the place anchoring, you have the
hockey, it's the glowstone, charge the anchor, blow it up and then do that twice in
your own.
And the same window is just double clicking twice on the same slot with the bed.
So if this was like perfectly even end-under, I still think Blaseline wins this bike
in a simple amount because Mungi has to try to send that situation, right?
Like has to send the double anchors or like a bed into anchor and it's such a hard
strats to go for it because BlazeMind had double triple or a had triple the gap, right?
Mungi played the double triple, but he's not almost dying at the top, maybe he was
happens decision and again, maybe the lava that he didn't block off, right?
sort of forced him to try triple the gap because double triple would have been too slow and it worked out.
It was uh, it was the very display that works for Blazeman there and he's once hit away from knocking out among
the top three last season.
It could be a bit of an upset but at the same time, I mean, I don't know, Blazeman, I like I said
to be, I mean, he won before against monkey in another tournament. So is it going to happen again here?
That being said, I feel like, and I will say another thing, you know, this is, I feel like that's a
as a good sign for Blazeman able to overcome that seed both.
The previous seed having lost and then on top of that
for this seed, running into a lot of challenges,
but still able to, and not finding that extra chest
right that monkey found, it's still able to win this seed.
I feel like it's a good sign for the mental
that's a good sign for that he's on point today.
Yeah, I mean, one are in the bash and different route,
low food, the whole seed.
Seed for, gonna be the village monkey picking Blazeman's band,
before we get into seed floor, we have our first mid match analysis of the
playoffs or any sound of the full on it. Breaking down what happened in the last
seed and also seed two I think we missed sending it during last seed.
Ten four months there with us, but we will send it over to full on breakdowns
some stuff that we miss in the booth, maybe breakdown that L drags from Blaze
mind back and seed to and then when we back for our village sheet, see if I can
tie it up into C5, see if I can tie it up into C5, I love everyone. Welcome to the
mid match analysis for season nine ranked playoffs. Very, very excited to be here.
Very, very grateful to be back in the booth analyzing and yes, we did miss a
a little bit of analysis in C2,
I'll make it super fast because obviously,
it was a little bit of time ago,
but I wanted to go back over that Blaze mind,
death, obviously, the unfortunate situation,
but I also wanted to talk about just before that,
the slight difference in terrain navigation.
So as you can see here, our bastion is off
in the distance over here for Blaze mind,
and he has one of two options.
He either takes this right terrain,
or he uses the pre-built terrain
and walks around and then builds over.
This requires less speed bridging the yellow path,
but the blue requires more speed bridging.
So BlazeMind decided to take the yellow path.
However, as we saw later on, once Mungi entered,
Mungi went directly over.
However, as we saw in this clip,
once BlazeMind eventually got to the speed bridge,
we did see a small issue arise.
Unfortunately, not successfully
drag clicking the boat on to this terrain.
He uses these two blocks right here to try and
clutch upon and unfortunately I believe you might be
a little bit too close to the blocks to be able to
hit that clutch obviously he did end up losing that
seed after making some good time back.
But moving on to seed number three, we wanted to
talk firstly about the overworld and the overworld
here, as you saw, monkey grabs all of this dirt using an instant line golden shovel,
grabbing 31 dirt before entering the Netherlands, and retaining the gold shovel on one
durability for good distraction method. Now, this one durability shovel here, he's able to
throw inside the bastion, allowing him to distract the piglins because he has no gold
armor from this overworld. It's a really, really nice heads up play, leaving that one durability.
That one extra block won't do a lot, but that one less hit in the bastion when we only got
three cooked chicken could make all of the difference. And once he enters, I know that the
commentator did notice that he made it to the bastion a little bit speedier than his opponent,
noticing the lava falling right here and blocking it off successfully before it flowed down
into the triple. Obviously that was a little bit of a different play between our two runners.
This allowed monkey to play double triple apologies and sadly it meant that blaze
mind forced to go for triple to go. But the main point of this seed was the blaze spawner.
Now, first and foremost, Mungi did in fact get a stray shoot
a fireball into the spawner, preventing some blaze spawns.
But one thing I wanted to really notice was blaze mind did this
after blaze bedding. So once he just finished blaze bedding, just like
Saras, we're going to see. After this explosion, notice the tree
exposes some of the light blocks behind the leaves. Now these light blocks can prevent
blazes from spawning inside the spawner location, meaning that you get fewer spawns
per cycle. This meant that due to both blaze mind instantly blocking these off as we see right here,
instantly blocks them off. This allows him to get maybe more spawns but also the fire from
a monkey stray caused him to get fewer spawns allowing Blazeman to re-catcher that lead.
So it is 21 in our best to five.
I'm going to send you guys straight back over to the commentators without further ado to see who
can take this home.
Ascle travel, some task fire clearing.
I mean, that's how Blazeman must have just been so happy.
Right. It was just an extra spawn.
like all the monkey needed on that spawner because of the difference in clearance.
Good stuff. First of many of the match analysis, W and Alcester,
that one durability gold shovel, some good distraction tech, and just, you know, using them
the first place for the dirt as well. But, nerdy, let's look at the seed pick just to
remind ourselves before we get right into the game, this is going to be a village seed monkey picking
Blaze Mines band. I think it makes the most sense for the mental right. I think villages also
So are the overall type that are the most decision rich by far, right?
Right?
Sure.
There's like an upside-down ship break and a sideways ship break and the right side
up with half the wood and right side up with all the wood.
Okay, sure.
There's different types of room portals and maybe you have to do a really weird
completion 100 scenes sure.
But the Temple nerdy, that looks to say I'm every time the BT newswash, it's just
a chest underground every time.
village, blacksmith, toolsmith, planes, desert,
a cashes of tiger, snow, like, so much variation,
houses everywhere, where do you go
a million micro decisions in every village,
potentially?
That's not good.
And you still have to think of flint.
You still have to think a lot of people.
It's not like you're just playing the village.
You have to do that on top of the rest of the decision
making that you have to make, you know, on a temple.
the exact same stuff, and it's just the overall type that is the most prone.
Apart from like, okay, you know, missing the magnitude and missing the lava
pool, I'd say, like the two worst things you can do on a seed or like watering
the entire lava, or missposing out of your report, but in terms of just like
raw decision making in the structure, in the village is where the most decisions
get made by far. Maybe in the whole seat, right? Like not just in the overall, but maybe
the entire seat all comes down to just the village. As both the runners are doing the same
exact thing at this moment. Playsman's got two gravel and set of three. Only difference.
People are going to die and pick does not have to kill the go on. This is looking good at so far.
Five iron, but we do have gravel. So shears probably not the play, but maybe these runners
just look for a bucket house,
Blazeman's already committed to tools,
and there's another blocksmith for Mungie.
Oh, wow.
So this stone axe here from Blazeman is now an iron axe for Mungie.
Oh, wow.
We'll go end up mattering here.
We see Blazeman does have to mine a lot of logs.
It's a lot of logs.
And she's.
Yeah, yeah.
There we have it.
Incredible.
Looks like Mungie now,
mining the last of the flint.
Should be able to head out for the lava pool here pretty soon.
I'm not exactly sure if we saw it already or not.
Hey, he's got the slipper going to shears.
Blaze mine's so surprised.
There's a lot of people right here going to shoot this virtually.
It's an occasion of playing kind of the birch.
It's a crazy like end of the village here.
But more common chwasser, among you, I'm just terrible.
And he's ghosts the water a little bit.
But yeah, I'm a portal, but still.
Like, blaze my saving time here to some of the portal, though.
And yeah, maybe it's also a lot of hesitation there.
And we're in the past.
Wow.
So not as different as I thought and blaze one's going to have enough blocks to get up to treasure here.
And he doesn't have these piglins guarding him.
So maybe even a little ahead here on health and pace.
So, Mungi actually behind.
So this village play.
I've hyped up for nothing, I guess.
Well, I mean, I think Blazeman has mechanics
have just been really smooth this seed.
Despite, I think I do feel like the line
that Mungi had there was a long time ago.
Damage, who's piglet's guy?
I think we'll have to make it up as well, I think.
I don't know.
No, you might be right there.
In either case, it's definitely interesting
to see these two different styles of play.
I think it was just a hesitation.
I'm like, sure, boys mind's play is slower, right?
Like, you do, you're just mining,
what would the stone act to suppose to use
and she is supposed to use an iron axe,
but boys mind,
instillers the chest,
insta one for the stone,
insta started breaking everything.
Mungie has to go to that second block,
so if you have to run all the way around inside outside
to get the blocksmith,
he also dropped one diamond out of the first chest.
So I had to like,
stutter step, loot that chest,
broken other log,
maybe if you only broke one log,
he could have broke the second one,
in the second blacksmith and say more time. So just the hesitation, what made
my, and also, you know, the portal miss hat, maybe Mungi's play was a lot faster,
uh, just objectively, but because of some nerves, maybe you're down to one in playoffs,
blaze my, and now it's looking like it's you, too.
I actually fully was just looking at Mungi. I just didn't even have as, so I was
staring at playing on the whole time, but I was obviously yapping. Um, he double blocked off,
the like treasure connection because he had one straight thing on the right
And it was a sword guy and then he had a straight late take on the left
And he was punching the ping on the left to get the pig off of him, but then he has to break two blocks to get back
And then there's a sword guy that's instantly matter him because he punched the guy in the left
He didn't just run through him and get hitting punched him as well. So blaze mine just got
Or should I force or guys just back to back the back?
Is it unlucky that he had three late pigs or two late pigs?
At least sure, probably.
But I don't handle it the best punching those big ones.
And now, monkey again in a situation
where not yet, but soon he's going to be in the fort,
maybe, maybe come up the wrong way,
and the treasure bastion scene,
maybe it's going to be closer than we think.
I don't even know the blaze mine lose stuff.
he died kind of over the edge. I don't know like see there's items from his body there
I think get some magma cream down there. Maybe that's just a straight trade but he died in a bad spot
That thing was gonna go block. Does this pick on I'm gonna go block now?
See here looks like he should have most of his stuff. He's got the diamond pick
Mungie's found before and is on the fort. So Mungie's gonna know soon that something's up
And it's not as bad as the previous death.
Or it's just a falling in love with lose all your stuff after reset the seed.
But regardless, he's got his bread as well.
That's important right. He's got the food back 15 bread for blaze mine.
Monkeys only got five.
Let's see here.
I'm going to be building a soul sand for the spawner.
to get these blazes going. And yeah, this is now monkey's seat to lose. He should definitely win
this one, like we said before, it's seat number two, but you never know. There's always the possibility.
We saw blazing my claw back a lot of time even on that seed where he died, right? So I mean,
he went the right way for the fort. He hit the right 50s at the fort now. So it's a lot closer
than it looks like especially with blazing on the death. And maybe he's going to play both
spawners maybe he's going to get some stress here. I think there's a stray on that one spawner
that he's heading to, right? So this two more to the right, I think just spawned in for blazing
on maybe, I mean, the rates aren't that good. So I don't think he can be out off these
strays. This might end up losing him time. Depending on how many strays there are here.
But I mean, he's making money work for the seed one, right? Even through the deck. And that's what
you need to do. Exactly. Just make make monkey make a mistake. That's the
goal here from Blazeman's perspective. You know, if he goes for a zero, then
maybe he's uncomfortable with or or anything like that, putting the pressure on
is exactly what he needs to do. And I will say, I feel like Blazeman, despite
that mistake, I feel like he's done a really good job playing back the time so
far. I'm curious to see exactly he's able to save more time. As we've seen a
a lot in these fortresses today,
blaze mine just saving a lot of time over Mungi.
Yeah, I mean, they're both in a spawner right now,
though, Mungi's up to rods and he's also measuring.
So he's got to be up at least a cycle here.
That's enough of the most amount of pearls,
but he's actually a 11-brug,
maybe he just didn't have a good amount of it crafted.
But he should just really leave off this cycle.
It gets the last blaze.
There he is.
Where's this pearl?
There it is.
And he's on-court, try to figure that though.
Can Blaze Mind leave off this cycle, though?
No, he needs one more rod.
Do you send the two eye?
That seems a bit silly.
He's not going to.
He has Mungi in the stride.
It's a safe sight.
But it looks like there's a lot of paths here.
Creeper.
He's running.
A little scary there.
But Blaze Mind getting to courts, right?
So, Mungi, surely, I was here into the left where he got the OG spike, there it is, yes, just, you know, was wall off the other way, 7 explosives, all beds for Mungi as well, and it's open for the zero front, a hundred, and so, and that pressure now for tops that up, you do, it's scary, but hopefully Mungi just can't mess up the field, it was a mid pearl, but he gets it.
7 beds should be good enough here even with the crossbow.
It's done on six and we're going to a game five, nerdy.
No game five.
It's a entire bracket last season and the first match of season nine we get a seed five.
It's great.
It's great.
We show in the schedule to an hour per match instead of an hour 30 and the very first
see me getting in five. It's great. It's beautiful. No, it's good. You know what behind schedule that that's what we want to be. It means more content for for all of you. That's the way that's the way the world.
Yeah, I mean, I feel like place I made up a lot of time from the death.
A little bit slower on the map,
we'll ask 18 seconds there in the map.
But like, it doesn't look like on the splits that plays my mind by.
Like, if you look at this seed and just look at the splits,
you might think I could have plays my one way or the four.
Especially as the treasure version, see, but it actually was an option.
I mean, you want the wrong way to the fourth,
which gave Blaze my a lot of time to cut shop after that death.
And Blaze went ahead and forwarded us where the pretty good runback, right?
Like, he was able to get to the bathroom right away.
didn't die or treating us stuff.
Yeah.
No, I think it's a very similar analysis.
The last time we had this, right?
It's like, Blazevine is playing really well today.
I think the question is just going to be,
can he be maintaining the consistency we've seen in the only two
seasons last today or the season is very died, right?
So if you can just be a little bit safer,
maybe not take some of those deaths,
then I mean, I guess that's what he needs to do to fix.
to fix in order to take Mungi, and eliminate him from this bracket fiber.
Yeah, let's see what seed glazed one is picking for seed fine.
Is it the P-T?
Is it Mungi's ban?
It is one of the bands that really one of every seed type love to see it's moral tour of
the overalls here in our first best of five going to seed five, going to distance and
a blazed mine doesn't die and already we're gonna have a match on our hands and is it
The nerves that a building is at the fact that it's three, four in the morning and glazed
mines usually not even up at this time, Monkeys usually streaming at this time, or Qing,
or just a waken general.
I mean last week when he did his player fix, he said he didn't know when he woke up that
day.
He literally couldn't remember.
So, better for the guy who has no schedule as opposed to the guy who's got a normal,
nine to five, sleep nine to five school, whatever it is. Like, I don't know. Maybe it's just plays mine
two tired in the moment. Maybe it's not even a lot. Maybe the plan is. I could play. I could play. I was
playing well other than those deaths. You know what I mean? So, it's a little bit, I don't know. I feel like we've seen both, you know,
very good game play from Blaze Mind and two big mistakes. That's what we've seen today.
I feel like that's kind of what happens when you get tired though. I mean, I'm not. I don't know if that's there.
My mechanics are not even close to like this level.
But I feel like that's what happens in your tired is you kind of like hyper focus on the things you can focus on some of the mechanics.
It's really good and like the autopilot gets really good, but you do like you just start to kind of move too fast.
And you punch a penguin you didn't mean to and then you're done.
Yeah, yeah, you misjudged the boat the boat clutch by one block and then you're dead, right?
It's just a small micro things that maybe is like a sleepiness mistake or an nerve mistake or there's a normal mistake and blaze mines just
God, I'm lucky that is I too those. I don't know
Looking around for the ravine looks like laser mines see something good
Yeah, I'm ready. Dozen. There's kelp over here, but blaze mines got this weird chunk cut off half ravine here
And he isn't down the arena, but I remind all this Flint.
So, Mungi is very behind here, especially this arena is looking real, so it's not going to be the end of the world, but this is a lot of time on the seed.
And especially for the mental of being so behind on the ocean, see like this, like you know as soon as you bow it out and you see nothing, it's like I lost.
All right, like I've been trying to remain there going to find out of the in I lost, right.
So just having the mental is this real for Mungi? Yes, it's too deep.
Better than Blaze mines, one deep, but he's always goes bucketed there or misplaced the
oddity. So Mungi has to go for portal number two here and then he goes bucketed again.
Oh, no, disaster here for Mungi.
The only did he throw to find that ravine a little bit, but it's struggling here on these
Portals, hopefully this will be good, yep, looks like that. It's good.
But I'm getting for a challenge. Oh, it is so much time and the mental as well, right?
Knowing that this is game five, knowing that you brought it back, right? You've won two
seeds. You were down to one. You had to win the last one and you did. And now, good, good recovery though.
It's, it's, it's scarier because it's like he was already, I feel like he was already been
He's been slower than Blazemind generally in these seeds, right?
And so having that big time loss right off the rip
before the Nether even starts,
it's a little scary there from Mungi,
but especially now that Blazemind is,
you know, out of the bastion,
there's not really much more opportunity for death.
It's gonna be, gonna be tough here from Mungi,
but I think you can do it, I believe.
It's just a lot of time nerdy, like even if Blazemind,
like if you're Mungi, you kind of just have to hope
for the death, I don't know, like we're on the bastion,
so you can't say at any time on the terrain there.
It's housing, right?
So housing a bastion, very, very uncommon, like bridge,
like let's say you have eight pegs versus 12.
That's a big difference, right?
Your pegs walk off the K, you do a better rat stables.
That will travel over a strip of the gut,
big difference, treasure.
You got a lot of pegs fall off the bastion,
just sort of random housing, so consistent with its quality
and with its quantity as well,
that monkey doesn't have any sort of like RNG
hope to save time in this fashion. It's just sort of happening. He just has to
sit through this cutscene and it's one less part of the seed that he can use to
make up time on blame. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, let's see if we can
now entering the fortress, see if we can see what these rates are going to look like.
And he's on the spawner, but only five explosives don't know for a single
place.
Yeah, I'm not sure if he's going to have four beds at the end of this.
I don't know if he's craft at an anchor or not.
We do have an inventory viewer in the bottom middle.
If you guys don't have noticed.
Productions time you accounts uncrafted explosives as well.
So I think some plays mind assuming this is all working, which I think it did last
Um,
place not just as four explosives.
Yeah, it looks like that's exactly what Mungi's on, you know, he just,
it hasn't blazebed it yet, but assuming that he does go for the blazebed.
Oh, my goodness.
It's not close.
So,
great.
If you're a blazemind,
man,
because that,
I think different sports.
Sorry.
I brain just kind of shut off because Mungi's
and another waste crimson now is in a warped.
Okay, so maybe the same for just really different items
like the same.
You know, they are far enough away.
It could be readically.
We can see different strongholds.
It's true.
They are different spawners.
That's all you need, right?
Sometimes you can be five blocks away and
get different strongholds.
If you happen, same spawner, just different blind spot.
I go different ways.
Different seed entirely.
A blaze might not have to six explosives now,
So a lot more zeros hitable than there was on just four explosives
There's that eye it's the measurement off and Muggies going for this glowstone as well
Yep, and there we go. He can make one anchor so a little bit less than blaze mine
But blaze mine's just a spawner cycle or two ahead of year and there's not that much of the seed left to play for mungin to make it up
the
monkey
I just am blazes, but yeah, it looks like there's less and less opportunity to save time as the seed progresses.
Please, might just need one more rod.
See, it's waiting here at the blazebutter.
There we go.
Leach spawn.
And Mongey still has to measure and I think he's two spawn cycles behind not just one counting the rods and the blazes there
As blaze mine is heading two cords beautifully using the side of the fort here
The piece judging whether to build or pearl again
I mean if he gets a clean spike, it's an easy zero. That's monkey out
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, look, look at that clean portal build there from the
lace mine.
I mean, I feel like he messed up a little bit and it still
looks very clean to me.
I look like a great spike bottom left.
I think they're like back left.
Not bottom left.
I swear I saw it for a second.
There it is.
I still get the things out to me to the right here.
You're going to see it.
It looks pretty good.
I love this spike though, and there.
monkey night in the stronghold yet one zero away from blaze mine and next weekend
it's awkward though
but he gets to go for it if it flies i guess that's what's annoying a he can only get to
ninety here
do you pre-place the anchors he's going to find a foot on side
And it's too late. He has to go back and now over for monkey.
Boy says got enough loss. He didn't. He played three place.
One anchor and he's one bet. So he's got four explosives now.
But he won for 95.
Instead of 90, I didn't think yet enough time and he didn't.
And there's a superstar. Is it pushing out?
Yes, it's pushing out.
It's he's wasting.
And the healing is for explosives.
Oh my God, it is.
Maybe you get enough damage.
I don't know.
I'm not looking good.
I don't think it's going to be good.
Once with the chase down,
Muggie still has to hit the zero in mind you.
But this is not enough damage for boys.
He's not going to able to kill the dragon here.
And there's still cages up.
So he can't shoot this cage for more.
He's at he can't he kill the dragon through the healing.
It's still healing.
Is it going to fly to the right?
Yes, it is shots.
It's this even have.
It's not in the first place.
He has to go for a cage.
It's going to the next.
He gets it.
Oh my god.
There before it gets the cage too.
I don't even know.
I don't even know.
I don't even know.
That's crazy.
That's just absurd.
It's the sub nine.
It a very chaotic fashion.
And unfortunately, it does eliminate big, big monkey,
but lays mind.
First ever playoffs moving on to the next round East West
Like it must have hurt. He's jumping from the anchor to the hat because he was standing north south
Yeah, I know it was arched like the worst possible moment and
And that third bed just so bad I cannot believe he killed the dragon I can't believe it.
That was wow, that was a very exciting ending to this series, Blaze Mind, keeping us on our toes.
Yeah, it's like a clipable endfight of the year and it's in the first game five, the first match of season nine playoffs.
And nerdy, we have Blazeman ready for winners any of you in the booth. Let's speak them. Let's see his thoughts on
first playoffs appearance and first playoffs match win Blazeman. How are you feeling after that match?
I'm feeling really good about it.
What time is it in Australia for the people who who don't know? I'm people, by the way.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Walk us through what we thought process was going there for the, you know, above 90
for the zero.
What were you thinking and then also on top of that?
Walk us through that last, the last moments there of that fight.
I'd love to hear what was going through your head.
Yeah.
So it wasn't really much thought about going about now.
Yeah.
I just thought I could make this.
but then I did like this. I didn't think my bed in time. Which it's lucky that I
only took one anchor because I was doing that just to make sure like it doesn't fly or anything.
Even though I didn't think it's meant to fly at five or eight minutes really rare.
Yeah, I can fly 95. It's just it's super rare. So it was one of your
were going to pre-place both the anchors and you saved one of them and then I
the East West Purish of the Chase that was crazy.
You locked in.
I mean, what was the, was this time slot,
like affecting you?
I mean, we saw it too pretty.
I'd say uncharacteristic deaths from user player.
Was it just, was it more of the playoffs nerves
or the time zone, like time slot?
Difference or just getting unlucky.
What do you think?
I don't think it was the time slot.
They've been, I don't feel that slated.
And I feel like if that happened
the moment when I came up, I was totally died.
But I think it, I also know it's definitely
quite a product.
I actually know it's all about what touched.
And if you know it's in the treacher,
that actually ended up growing out my ax somehow.
So I don't know how I did that, but that definitely
still been.
Yeah, I mean, it's a completely new environment for you,
obviously, compared to Monday, you've been at a lot of
plows this year first time as an autocoll player, as a player
in general.
But Blaze Mind, you didn't let it affect you.
And next weekend, you've moved on.
You have to face the winner of due-gile versus HDMI cables.
How are you feeling going to that match?
Anything specific you're going to do in the next week to practice,
anything like that, or just just your general thoughts?
I don't want to play due-gile.
I think everyone, not just in the 20, just anyone,
due-gile is probably just Gary.
I don't want to play through.
Yeah, no, that's very nice.
That's a pretty common sentiment among a lot of runners,
but I guess if there's any sort of good news,
you only have to beat them in three seasons.
It was grand finals, you'd have to beat four.
So maybe, you know, maybe that's really good
to look forward to that.
And also, I am saying this like,
do I win?
HMI cables, getting to do that all run for as money tomorrow
when we see that match.
So you might not even have to play do you know?
HMI might take care of that for you.
So we'll have to see what that goes tomorrow.
I'm off to see you back here next weekend.
very exciting first class you play my congrats again on the win and yeah
they're playing beautiful Minecraft making rats great stuff hey he's used to the
time so I'm already not sleepy oh no that's good stuff and you know what I'm
not used to though speaking of things being used to you know you look at
But really, right now, let's see, I'm, I do see that.
Good job.
It's so exciting.
I'm so excited.
I know.
I know, I know.
I've been, I've been waiting for this, for this moment.
I've been waiting for this.
I've been, I've been looking forward to this.
This could be, I mean, this is a fantastic match.
I feel like we have like the RSG representative against like the rank,
you know, someone who's been here from day one on rank.
You know, so I feel like this is, this is cinema already.
already without even having no what happens whatsoever. I'm well, okay, of course, I know the script.
So I do know what happens, but I can't leak that. So I have to pretend like it's a mystery.
Literally, I didn't even think about that. I literally was a plan I was like, they want like this is season one
plan. I have someone like that. Like, if you think of like, O.G. Right, O.G. Plus, like,
summer's got any of the name. You think, right? Like, obviously there's close beta. There's season zero.
There's whatever. Like, you think of O.G. Right, you think of me red. I'm testing with the friends
has done the mod from the ground up,
but like playoff season one, that's silver.
That can never be taken away, right?
Like that's the first place.
There's always gonna be a new, newest playoffs,
but the oldest place, that's that's done.
That's silver.
He's here.
He's been here always,
ready to try to make that storyline,
try to make that second win happen
from first to last and skycrack.
Like, I don't even know, I don't even know.
I don't even know.
I don't even know.
It's so cool.
Yeah, we didn't even say it.
But we are not, we should, we should send it to like one minute in a mission.
Because I just have to get water.
We should send it to our one minute in a mission.
We should make sure everything really goes.
We're going to come back from the mission.
We're going to have an interview with SkyPrab.
And then we're going to get into the seed types.
We're going to get into the fire stats.
And we're going to get into the match.
We know you guys all are dying to see this match.
So we're going to send it to a very quick interview.
And then we'll be back for Silver versus SkyPrab.
They're very quick in a mission.
I think I started.
I know we are back after the quick intermission and I know we are all dying to watch
the gameplay.
But as we said, we have a SkyCrab player interview because he is a newcomer to play us.
So we will get to see SkyCrab slots and the questions we have for him and then we will
right into the players, that's what you're right in the seed
takes when you're right into the match.
Because now I know you guys don't all watch a match,
and also we are 30 different finds scheduled,
so W schedule change for this season,
really good, great job from us there.
But no, I can't complain about that best of five.
That plays my end fight like,
that's a good problem of you behind schedule.
For a thing like playoffs,
it's a great problem to be behind schedule.
For this reason, I guess, I should say,
not only production stuff,
just the players playing some gray Minecraft.
So let's see what's going to say,
Sorry, not the yapping there, and then we'll get right into the game.
So first off, introduce yourself.
How do you get into Microsoft Speedrunning and all that good stuff?
Hi, my name is Skytown.
Oh my god, you're stuck around here to the game playoff.
First time ever.
My goddamn CSR, my good buddy, so I see.
I've always been interested in Speedrunning in general before that.
Nice.
When you, what do you say you were into Speedrunning before?
Do you mean like, Speedrunning other games?
Or you were like, kind of watching Speedrunning Minecraft?
or kind of in Super Mario 64 speedruns.
Oh, okay. How many stars?
16 stars.
Of you.
What's your favorite now?
16, 39 in no LBLJ.
Oh my god.
That's W.
Yeah.
That's the same.
How do you feel about playing against Silver?
Someone who's just one playups in the fast.
I feel intimidated.
I don't know what to expect.
I feel like I'm not going to do that little working.
I just want to know.
I just want to know.
Where did I see you?
I got neck-to-do-l-s-e-c-s-e-r-s.
Is there anything you're more confident?
Because when you're watching for else you can, you were like,
oh, ocean seed, like Skycrab's got this.
Like, is that something you're feeling confident about again,
silver?
Anything you're feeling good about?
I think I'm pretty confident in ocean seeds.
Because I say a lot of RST playing at their confidence in my
range of spotting and I'm like the lines.
You think there's something that playing RST besides just the
overall that could help you maybe horse terrain, anything like
that that you think could also give you an edge?
Spludding fortress, that's a gesture maybe.
I really tried to force the bad for which is with white macro.
What are your thoughts on comparing people who play a lot of RSG
or someone like yourself, someone like Jason?
Do you feel like you're one of the best players in the world?
Do you feel like you stack up even though you don't play a lot of rank?
Like how do you kind of view yourself in that way?
I guess you can compare the stats even though I don't play against them.
Because I do have like spits and averages and stuff.
Have you ever wanted to play in a playhouse of world?
like what kind of how does this kind of happen?
I know people were saying like you have a channel
point where words like you write things.
Did you literally only get this from those channel
player words and yeah, I did.
Well, there's, if I lost twice in a row,
I might have like, cute one more.
So I don't know if you've got it, I'm going to go in the
guitar or two.
What does plain and play else mean to you?
Is it something that you really wanted to go for?
Like what does it kind of mean now that you're actually
in the 16 person bracket to you?
It's really fun to like actually really participate in this.
I didn't expect it to actually get in.
I do have a lot of people reading for you.
You've always been a huge name.
Like, what does it kind of mean to be to have so many people
rooting for you and a matchup against?
I'll choose also like a very well-known prominent community member.
Like, what does that mean to you?
I don't know.
It feels so weird.
It means that it means like I kind of cheat something really big
and I'm like really grateful for it.
That's the thing that I can kind of think of all thought my head like.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming season six was one of the last times
you play, it helps you cue because of the hand injuries that you were dealing with.
What does it mean to not only come back from that, but be playing it, what it sounds like
to you seems to be even at a higher level after everything that you have to go through with that.
I try to use my time more efficiently to make some of the worst in the harm of pain.
So I really try to correct this for more than to spam runs, which is probably the very
reason why I got time paying the first place.
Final thoughts on your match against silver.
How are you going to win this match up?
What's your key to victory against over here? I can reach out really great. It's top speed.
I just got it in with my nerve, get to me, or lose like 10 seconds, which is like really bad.
Well, back up and hit that top speed if you will, Oxen. So, I'm excited to see that.
Thank you, Bendo, for editing that interview. We're going to get a new career way for hosting that interview.
I don't know if he always said all of them.
I think all of us, a couple of them,
during our media day that all the charers
and everyone loved from last weekend.
So, beautiful stuff, though, got those interviews for us,
W SkyCrab, and a lot of people are excited.
Let's throw the player stats, nerdy, and C.
One notable thing, I guess.
It's kind of what's saying we can look at the stats
and maybe we hasn't played that much.
There's 70 games there from Silver's almost 700.
that and play each other, the nerdy,
Skycrab hasn't played anybody in playoffs.
Yep.
I mean, it makes sense, right?
I mean, if you're also, you're also cute.
Yeah, it's crazy, but it kind of makes sense.
Basically, any match we get with Skycrab,
and it's going to be fresh, it's going to be new,
it's going to be exciting.
The winwrights difference here.
I mean, I feel like if you look at the difference,
it's a little weird, because obviously, you know,
still replay that high level, so that winner
It's going to drop a little bit at some point,
whereas the P.E.L.O. for TechRub is only 261.
But in either case, very impressive stats on both ends here,
both sub 10 averages, both very good ranked times,
and also very solid RSG times.
So I think this is going to be very exciting no matter what happens.
I'm rooting for both of them.
I don't know.
It's so hard.
We never did SkyCrab in it playoffs,
but at the same time, Silver, the OG playoffs winner,
It's really hard for me to take a side here.
Yeah, I like the stats for Silver Ranked-wise look better just because I mean,
I'm not the win right, but it's kind of doesn't have enough games for me to really put a ton of weight into that.
And I guess I shouldn't put a ton of weight into the rank average either.
One other thing as we send it over to the seed types stats, but again, I don't think we're
going to get much from this just because of low sample size.
Scott Graham might be the only person in the last few seasons to have a better RSG PB than ranked
PB. That's an art that we've lost. Considering I think there's 60 people that have a sub seven
in ranked and there's one person in an RSG as a sub seven and obviously Locie has a 620 in
rank so that's not him. Um, this is, I don't
know, I do the first person in multiple
seasons to have a better R.
Yeah, but five, five, five seconds,
I guess, then is the rank of you, but it
is.
Um, don't think you're looking at this.
So run a 49 points.
I know.
I'm not.
We're right.
Is that what we are?
That's a weird.
Yeah, but the ship are 50 cents.
Oh, like I don't know it.
They're both the lowest two, but B TV so much
lower. Is it the word gene spotter, right? And Scott
Drive again, obviously low sample size and considering
it hasn't played a single-platform player ever in those 70
games or like, yeah, obviously Scott Drive plays 70 games
against infum versus 70 games against your average
shot in one player. The win rate's going to look different,
right? Right. So can we take these numbers and say,
like, oh, Scott Drive is 10% better than silver at every
C type, not exactly. But we can't look at silver.
He's got that sample size, and that BT is shocking.
So let's look at a seed pick bands.
Let's see, is something going to a band BT like we think he is?
And it's a good overlap, right?
Because not only are you banding BT because you're
bad at the BT, but you're banding BT because you're playing
Scott, right?
And Scott has been in Desert Temple because it's the only seed
type that you really don't ever play, right?
Like a 617, that was a village you were important.
He's playing BTs and shipwrecks all the time, just off the wall.
But you know, you see a blacksmith, the old tab, and you see a
room portal you'll type it. There's a temple the only seed type that you're never
clicking on the wall. I like I mean I don't watch any recent hours I was on
that and I just I don't know the time but I would be shocked if like even if
he's a temple on the wall. I don't mean I would be shocked me even
kind of in it. Right then obviously yeah. You don't think it's gonna be like an A-A
run or something like that. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah okay
anyways. But yes no it's gonna be good. I'm looking forward to this we've got some
Exciting seeds ahead of us fineburg. I don't know about you. I can't wait to get into this
Room portal 30 is this the living room portal. I mean the last the last room probably had was pretty good, right?
We had to go back. We had to go. We had to
I think we can do better. I'm my opinion my professional team do better. We can do a bit better
I want at least complete a bowl. That's all masking and then I'm well this is comfortable
You got that that's a good start. That's a right thing to see here
Is there an axe there's an axe?
Okay, I like this. I'll take this. I'll take this. This is honestly bare minimum.
Yeah, I mean, that's I could be worse. It could be worse. There could be no pace. Is it? Mending though?
No, I just I feel like it's on breaking. Look at the gold accent. I feel like there's no
No, no, that's oh my god. Silver got raw mutton there instead of cook mutton
This food situation crazy for both runners this late right here
But so we got six poor shops so that's all right
I think this has to be unbreaking.
So thank you a little bit better than bare minimum.
Not close to Princess treatment at all,
but I mean, it's no looting sword,
no food in the room portal.
Kind of just the lobby and the eye and the axe,
but there isn't axe could be worse.
That's chill.
So we're now entering the net.
There's far as well.
I mean, he hasn't crafted stuff.
So I got a front load of wood pick and a boat.
Wood pick is interesting,
because all kinds of you don't need it, right?
It's unnecessary front loaded craft.
Yep.
Um, like, stillizing the made is crafting the will section.
I got something you obviously always have to do, but he hasn't even started that situation.
But the wood pick and wood shovel, especially maybe not the best overlap.
You see this, we're just here to the left.
I like to point out.
I'm going to have that to be able to clutch down here.
So a little bit nice in that sense.
Get to get the book collection.
Why is this fashion?
Is this double triple housing?
I want to say you just slam these chests with the axe you try to figure it out maybe put on some armor
You have to go lax it hasn't breaking maybe you do it on just this right triple so there's got a 11
I'll be already, but no iron yet
Never mind he's got a tune on it's or two and it's I'm so good
It's okay, I'm gonna shred these chests. I was just looking at the nuggets in the hobby or any cell 19 and I was like, oh, that doesn't look good but
Let's SkyCrab, similar situation.
You're using a block off the pigs here to make the pickaxes.
Let them in.
Okay.
Let these pigs in for a minute.
Oh, that's good.
I died here a couple of weeks ago.
That's actually really good save.
I'm going to take note of that for later because you do want to let in those left triple
pigs with the pickaxe.
So you have to break two blocks there.
So it's good save.
Blocked off those pigs do himself a time to craft the pickaxe.
I tried some goofy kind of the network.
I mean, it could be the fact that he's been in low-iron situations a lot, right? Like, maybe, you're not guaranteed Iron Man when you play Archie, right? Like, the BT doesn't have A Iron guaranteed. The shipwork doesn't have A Iron guaranteed.
You're not guaranteed Iron pick on basically a receipt. So possibilities just matter in that situation, many, many times.
And both run our super close here overall, I'd say it's not a different laser approaching the seed, but still are neck and neck.
Now, some has got 39 out of the stack of strength, seven explosives from the trades.
Obviously with two blaze beds that could sound a five.
But it's got eight explosives now. Skycrubs got nine. Is he leaving? I don't know.
But 46, OB from Silver. Skycrubs just out there. That's a bed. Faster, lead me on the
trades. Maybe more pants from the route. I don't know, but this is way faster. And obviously
we saw the fort off spawn. So Silver first to the bash of I considerable margin, but
SkyCrab, very ahead of here. I'll be at a bit low on health, one heart.
There's already here. Like, still has so much food here with those five
four counts now. It is better than mutton. Yeah.
Let's go. I've seen some being a safe spot on the fort.
It is kind of open here, but not, you know, in closer. It's better to fight with
the skeleton stuff with the range. You don't want to get trapped in a corner, so to speak.
But silver, on the other hand, doesn't go through the bad part of it all.
He is at the same time, SkyCrab is.
Yeah, just able to save some time in a, I guess, like, fortress nav.
And now is, uh, is building, yeah, let's see his work.
Just checking the set.
We think, yeah, he's got the, the blaze about all first SkyCrab's mess with some
strays here.
So maybe he can save a spawner cycle then.
It's going to be very unclear here, which runner specifically is ahead.
because Skycrab has four rods and several as one,
but some might be able to get to the four from this wave.
Yes, he does.
There we go.
No, he's on three.
I don't know, he's on four.
This is a very close match to start this off.
I mean, I feel like the the road has been playing
like decently differently.
Submission.
Issue though.
Has it been a second eye on the same spot?
Maybe it doesn't as an in-bought set of correctly?
Or got a red-bought or something?
I don't know what happened,
SkyCrab had to throw two eyes and now he's throwing a third one and so they're just a really
love one. This is a lot of time while SkyCrab's having on the Mediterranean split. Did he...
Is it nerves? Did he miss him put on Nimba? Was it not set up?
I've correctly, I don't know. It's impossible to tell, but that's a lot of time on a very
innocuous split and Silvers got this full blaze-minute spawner fully cleared out open as well.
SkyCrab's on a close one. This blaze is in the middle and they're wearing out for SkyCrab.
So now this is way too much great for shuttle. He's out and Scott, right? This is
Maybe the fifth rod is up the sixth rod. I think he's leaving as well. Okay
close with what we think but silver completely slung the game in his favor just off his fortress split
Now probably over to the stronghold for it's here. He should be pretty close
Scott doesn't have anything close a little bit. Yeah, he has no three points
He has 15 pros
Oh, no, what happened there? I don't know.
He can't even pull across the wall.
So we found great terrain to courts. Is it different stronghold?
No, it's the same stronghold. I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure it's the same thing.
What is going on?
I swear it's the same thing.
He's like stuck.
I'm probably in the back off of the scene.
He's in the back.
Yeah, no, here's the little thing that Silver Goat on.
And that could be the game here if Silver can hit the zero.
He doesn't have a bow, maybe because of no arrows.
I think it was not a bow. It should be a hitable zero though.
I mean, eight explosives and not front 99. You don't need the bow here at all.
I don't think he has one. But it's not going to matter. I mean, what what happened to Scott
crap? It just maybe took worse terrain. It looks like to me. Was that a different spawner?
So I I guess that could explain it there, but in either case silver takes game one here
With almost a subset, but is able to get a low seven instead. Oh, yeah, this was fast
Yeah, I like I feel like you can notice
I was not looking at the timer at all. Oh, yeah, and
And Scott comes out of here anyway, but I wanted to matter
I mean, you're not even just the terrain now.
I feel like everything passed, like, as soon as Scott got into the fort, I feel like
every micro was just worse and worse and worse and worse, like, close spot on some
open spot on how did silver find the open spot on it?
I don't even know, right?
The three eyes on the measuring split, bad terrain now, to second portal, low pearls, and
No pre-crafts.
Just every micro thing, just not in SkyCraft's favor,
is it the playoff nerves?
Is it too much of that RST high-roll mentality?
We're like, you're brain, you're sending the two out.
You're pre-crafting on the way,
because you're just, you know,
you don't even think about pre-crafting
because you go five or five on rods.
That's the strat.
You don't even think about pre-crafting until you leave
because you usually don't have to do it, is the autopilot
from, you know, you get in the situations,
you start autopilot anymore,
and more, is that's taking over in a bad way?
I don't know, I don't know.
It's totally possible, I mean, I don't know.
I feel like guy crap definitely played that early part
of the seat quite well.
Went for like some early crafts,
and then was able to use like the boat clutch, for example,
and we're gonna save a little time on silver,
and having to be bashing, but I don't know,
I guess overall, probably,
And I could just be like, you know, like a warm-up kind of thing.
I don't know, silver one's just so, yeah, no hesitation getting that blaze bed off,
just very clean measurements overall.
I mean, I feel like this could be a warm-up thing or it could be something that
we'll see skycraft effects in the upcoming seats.
Yeah.
I mean, let's see what the second seat is going to be.
Is there going to send it to the shipwreck?
No, the village.
You think you'd be more comfortable on the shipwreck on the ocean seat, but
I mean, you're gonna have to play both of the many ways, right?
You have to play the first three seats in the middle.
What?
So, unsure, exactly if it's picked matters too much, maybe you can have the ordering, right?
Like, okay, if we're gonna lose the village, win the shipwreck, but then you're giving
silver the pick and to see the force, and maybe you want to do it the other way, maybe
Scott Crabs is really confident in his village, right, I don't know?
Yeah.
I mean, I think I'd go either way, I mean, I don't know, I don't know, if it's a fast village,
You know, they could go either way.
Also, Scott Krab is perfectly competent in writing villages.
So I'm sure that, I mean, last time we saw a village,
it was, we thought it was going to be a big difference between the two runners
when we saw the difference in routing and then it ended up being true.
Very close. So you never know.
Yeah. I mean, I'm actually not bad at any seat type,
but I would have just thought that the shipwreck is the better pick,
but maybe please let's shipwreck.
Then I think off of the wall off the resetting.
They are just much lower than BT's.
So, we see the law of pull stacker,
I have quick spot on those trees.
I think it just showed up on server screen as well there.
But this is an interesting overall.
Where are we getting the gravel?
What law of pull do we go to?
Where even is the blacksmith?
There's the gravel right there.
Oh, and it's on the bottom.
Okay, so what could have been just a flat planes of the world?
We have the gravel.
So presumably no wood light here.
We have five iron yet, so Goldax, iron pictures, maybe we make a stone sword, maybe we
just use the Goldax.
Let's get a little fumbling on the crafting there, there's the sheer silver.
It is well, and he's not making a Goldax, he's going to make a stone axe and save
his two gold and make a gold shovel.
I'm not going to add too much, nine gravel for Flint for Skycrab.
I guess the argument is like, okay, you have serious or blocks.
You don't need to mind that many logs with the gold box.
But I like the, oh, I'll leave both of them.
That is fantastic.
That's not funny. It's a good screenshot.
That's what that's what I'm doing.
Yeah, that's true.
You don't know in place.
I don't know if you like the gold box.
Like, I guess you're using a lot of the durability.
It's a bad a break for Skycrab.
But even if you just have a couple durability, it breaks the craft and the
able faster, it breaks those logs you need it to break faster, and you can break a
chest or two in the bastion faster, stables routing, housing routing. You're breaking
chest on those routes sometimes, I like the gold axe better, and I don't think the
two gold for distraction is maybe worth it, but in some seeds it could be, right? Like
you're at the top of stables, you need to get a pig along the way fast, instead I'm
maybe throwing your axe, obviously you can't throw the gold axe, but throwing the gold
is a lot mentally easier to do, right? Like even if it is just the same action, the same
thing you're dropping, throwing an axe, feels weird. Throwing the gold in it, like that's
the point of the gold in it is to trade. The point of the axe is that you're not training the
axe. So it's just trading off. I would make the gold axe here. So we're obviously made the
stone axe. But it's worked out for Skycrab. He's got a twin. He's got a twin. He's got a
into, we're not even on Scott Krabs village routing. Maybe he's just a
demon at the village seeds. I mean, look at this significant lead over silver
playing that seed much more quickly, but silver taking slightly different
terrain here I believe. A little more less. Yeah, I was going to say a little more
left, but nearly close to the light. Yeah, that would have been a bit of a mess.
and second has acts here is going to break though.
He's kind of trying to figure out to get around these guys and it doesn't break on the second.
Camping all free chests, but that was fast as well. So we're going for manna with leaves.
So he's three of that thinking he needs to make.
No one needs this far behind. I like that he's sending it, but it's scary, right? It's wet manna. He's only got leaves.
But notably, nerdy, Skycrub got no obsidian from the top chests.
So the benefits you top down sure you might be more consistently getting piglins
if it's white-animal.
But you're getting those three chests early on your route, apparently got four and
I'm completely wrong.
It's not the five-body chest though, hey, sorry.
I need the inventory here, I'll go in the bottom or I don't think that would have even saved me to be honest.
There you go, there you go, there you production.
It'll be a production.
I swear, okay, I swear I got none, it's, I'll go.
But the audience still could be, still could be a difference, right?
Like if silver got, I don't know if he got up sitting from breaking that man in chest.
It's just unclear, which is different chest of her rowing will see did these
want to spot the forks, looks like they did, looks like it is right there.
There's also a looking for a pearl-hanging opportunity, I think.
There it is.
Pearl maybe looked a little low, but I think it should be fine.
Is it iron chest plate, look at that.
Oh, that's a little funny.
Look at that.
No, it's just from the skeleton on one heart, if the skeleton shoots in the
Oh man, this guy driver's carry this here. He's the food he's just this is time also, yep
That's he pearl here. He's got a split last night. It was a little scary. He's strange. No, she's
But somewhere waiting so much on trades and he's got 18. I mean, so this top chest hobby apparently is
He's got all the
I got here. Yeah, I get this mysterious four of sitting in the chat's been raving so hard about where is it
It's got to be in the single, that's probably what I missed it.
And the next year, Goldblock as well.
There's the obvious.
So, man, not working out for silver,
he or his guy coming in great position for seed, too.
It's a tie-up, the match at 101.
But, nerdy, he was in this spot before.
He was ahead of the four before, and we saw him kind of fall apart
in the rest of the seed, right?
Bad, slower four place, slower measurements,
slower terrain to chords, and choking to zero.
So the seed by no means is over.
Yeah, especially with a crazy trace is an interesting way
here. I'll just see if this works out.
Lots of wither skeletons in the way because it's kind
of a double situation. Yeah. Yeah.
It's up to awkward.
Actually, the best double spawner possible is when they're
right next to each other here.
They're both open.
You can't really get a good blaze about off on both of them.
It's great sir, not it's yeah, only two rods for Skycrap.
So maybe silver being at this double spawner for so long is going to benefit him here.
Being able to just overlap as many blazes as long as possible.
But maybe the strays are just a matter of though.
It's a very commanding lead.
It's someone clear when strays are good or bad for a runner.
I'll take this back and start it will be faster.
Hopefully I can just get it off in one.
It's 65, I don't know, there we go.
Yeah, I was worried there for a second.
It's got to curve it up to throw several lines.
Even if you had a third second one, it wasn't like a,
a knee joint bot like user error, right?
Like sure somebody in it too offsets you up to the other one.
But last time you had to throw three eyes.
So something like horribly went wrong.
And there's the last two runs on Blazeman.
But Sponir gets them, and he is a very far ahead from these straight silver only on one
rod.
Just maintain the least on the side.
Yeah, I mean, it's terrain that I've looking like it's going a lot better, heading
to chords right now.
A little bit of backtracking, but not too bad, thinking you're right now on chords
has health.
Going to eat the bread for safety as well like that play.
There's a little beef on here.
You're crazy.
And there are lights.
I can't really miss place.
Oh, my gosh.
I didn't make it shoot too hard.
Oh, my gosh.
Anyway.
The sky crowd is not going to be the second runner to die here at the run in playoffs.
That's going to be low key.
Only.
Is he died of a creep or no?
Oh my God.
And he likes the spike down here.
Is it just farther down these stairs?
He hears it.
Wow.
And look at this though, after it's bad.
Again, no pre-crafting skycrap.
Fully, no pre-crafting.
That's something that several has been ahead on on both seeds.
Fully pre-crafting.
Just a complete difference in play styles.
But silver, so far behind that it's like in a matter.
O53, no purple here.
And four bed two anchor with a crossbow, small boy.
small boy, maybe it's weird if it flies on 90, is he going to try to send 95?
Let's see here.
Let's go into our 90.
And we're pre-placed makers.
So if the dragon flies, this could get ugly.
And it doesn't fly.
But the first bad damage was not the best.
Great.
Oh, he's got five bucks on four.
I stand corrected.
Yeah, there it has it very clean with an anchor to spare Skycrap takes seed number two.
But we're not getting a three-o this is going to be an exciting match.
I'm excited.
Yeah, and there's not that much, you know, endgame,
steadily here from Skycrap like there was last seed.
Um, server does manage to get in the end.
So not as big of a blowout as it was the other way around, but the village,
Routing from the SkyCrab was just a lead.
I think the Goldax, I mean 20 seconds.
And then it was the man on variance play that Silver went for
that didn't work out.
I think it's sort of the story of the rest of the seed.
You look at the fortress to the stronghold splits
and stack up only saved four seconds with all those strays.
And keep in mind, he saved those four seconds,
but he had no pre-craft.
So what's even like behind?
If you look at that split as a whole,
Does it take him four seconds to craft there?
You're doing the portal room?
Probably about four seconds.
Get the craft table town bookcraft.
Bad anchor's wall glowstone.
Like the straights really didn't matter, I think.
Yeah, it's weird.
It's weird seeds for sure.
Skycraft looks a lot better than last year.
Look, a lot cleaner with it.
I think like I said, mainly with that terrain now.
Fumble it a little bit on the first seed,
but it's kind of like we're saying.
like maybe just a warm up on that first seed and now we're locked in, um, definitely
silver. I think it's done a little bit in that overworld. So maybe that could be seen as
like a tiredness thing. Uh, but in either case, this is a great start to this series. One,
we have a tie of one to one. It's a little too accurate. Yeah, and seed three, I think we're
giving it into a shipwreck. So we'll see. Can the runners father or V, we saw that be a
difference maker in the monkey blaze, and I'm matched on their, um, I don't know, I don't
care.
I don't know if it was the ship or the BTC, but we'll see how this overall goes.
This guy, I'm going to have the edge on the ocean seed, I don't know, well, to see
about out coming into the gameplay very, very shortly, but check our bounce back after
the C1 loss, dying on the 0, obviously too far behind for it to matter, but it's a bounce
back commanding win in C2. Almost a full split I had. Can he keep that momentum? Can Silver
lock back in? I mean, it is just earlier for Silver as well, right? It is 10 a.m. for Silver.
I think you haven't been waking up a little earlier playing a lot of private rooms
with Duga for the last week. But it is still just an early time slot. 10 a.m. Both runners
find a shipwreck. You know exactly that. I mean, is for
Skikreb maybe 67 PM. I don't know what, um, where the
time's on. Why is it? All right.
I'm very far, far, far, far. I'm going to call us together.
If you, you're giggling a little bit out of my
stuff. There's an area. Okay, whatever. Whatever.
I see you guys from bad for each other. We're bad. We, we,
we, we, we, in the evening, each other. That's the problem.
Okay, anyways, but a good start here, a bread and shears, and not only five gumpuffer.
Oh, yeah, I was gonna say, okay, I'm mistaken here, sorry, going for the TNT instead much better play, able to get blocks in that way.
Now, able to craft up those bad bread and get going on the TNT.
So, good start here a little bit, I think a little bit ahead of your attacker once again on this old world.
on this overall. Yeah, I mean, as TNT was a little bit closer than silver as a
look at the wood count as well. He placed it closer to this like edge of the
island and he's got way more wood. So we might even want to chop one or two
lodge on the street here. Yes, he will. So he can even directly get off the island
skycrab 10 to 15 seconds on here. Yeah, once again, the overalls look very
clean here for skycrab. Let's see what will happen next.
going to be building this one by two and heading into the Nether shortly. Let's see what we've
got inside. I'm so glad already on just the overworld. But I'm not looking for the
vastgen. Where is the vastgen? Where is the terrain? Is the
series? Yeah. Do we pull up here through the soul sand? Do we force left? Silver
looks like he's already going right and this is right,
Teran, I think it's gonna open up to the same spot
that Skycard is up, but I think he's gonna be saving
a little bit of time just, you know, not going left
and up that hill.
Now we have a not too many blocks.
You're actually four Skycrab, so silver with those extra blocks.
Maybe that was the TNT difference right?
Maybe Skycrab placed it more on the sand,
silver was trying to work for the dirt and that's a high
Maybe that's Skycarb wants to take, right, because if it's the sub seven seed, if it's the world record, you're not going to have to build a stack of blocks to get to the bridge, but in ranked, you got to play anything.
So, is this the difference now? So we're at the child's command and lead fully flips from the other world.
Yeah, it just purely was blocks. So definitely interesting to see the difference in rounding.
Maybe that world difference we were talking about just was was wrong, maybe silver was in a better position all along.
But again, it's not that much time, it's just going to see what to play.
But Scott comes only got eight dirt heading into this route.
He's going to have to use something as wood.
I hope to see if this could mess him up a little bit.
Looks like he's crafting a good block in starting the route while silver.
It started a few seconds ahead here.
He's going to run out of blocks.
I'm going to switch to that wood.
Hopefully none of that will be burning.
I always can't be a little scary on this route.
And now he's got low wood to 21 planks.
We got to make two blaze beds and maybe some sticks
and we're using three more for the bridge.
So we're down to 18.
Probably going to mind this wood back
or we're going to have to hope we blind on a tree
or we're playing low beds.
It's situations that Skycrab is finding myself in
that silver isn't.
Is it that ranked experience?
Is it that difference in place file?
Or is it just a random brand mistake
that we're trying to read too much and do.
I don't know.
I'm quite hard to say. We are looking at it. Yeah, I guess you're going to have to use the pie
for the fortress. It's very open, but just no fortress in sight regardless. So eight chunks a way.
Looks like silver is looking for a good pearl hang in that direction, doing with this hog one here.
So maybe a little lower on health, but the seven bred from the shipwreck and we carrying these runners through most of the seed.
And it looks like 17 obvious. I just wind on a little bit more of sitting in.
Maybe some more beds as well. It would be nice.
I'm going to risk a lot of pigs. So that could explain that.
Better train for silver. He's pulling on the fore first.
We're going back and forth back and forth here. This is awesome.
As for Scott Carb in the crimson,
stray with a skeleton, big magma cube for Silverstone,
not a great spot for him, but he spotted a sponor.
There he had enough sports.
A couple's on me, but he's getting a sponor.
You're back pretty well.
That's the push the Scott out of the way to get the bed down.
Scott Carb should find himself at this sponor shortly.
You start on a little bit, I mean, this is a little bit nice.
No.
Great to see over.
this at a different spot, maybe now there's a spot
but this is a different spot,
and maybe different for a strong,
I was maybe different terrain to the strong.
But they should hold a lead back for Sivir.
All right, it's that rod there.
Oh, I got a ton of logo for Skycrop on him.
Oh, it's better.
I shouldn't see that.
Oh, I'm not.
But he has to, so he gets a spot here,
maybe only gets a one spot.
But it looks like he's handled that very well,
And it's basically fully cleared out before the next one.
So no harm no foul for Scott Crab.
I guess he doesn't have as much time to overlap anymore, right?
We have 34 golding.
It's still.
We could craft some gold picks.
Obviously clearing our inventory.
But depending on the rates, you might have time to do that.
Anyways, we do only have two rods and silver only has three.
So we're getting that blind off on one extra rod compared to Scott Crab so far.
So a little bit of a lead here for silver, but it's definitely still close.
could go either way as silver gets that measurement off was that 1100 or is that
1800? So definitely pretty far considering that the what we can look at
Skycrap here as well. Yes, so like 1500 for Skycrap 1600 but it's
7-chonels, no it's 7-chonels. It's 7-chonels. Maybe like for for
Skycrap, pause pause for silver. It's 7-chonels. Okay, so that could change
things a lot here, once if the stronghold for one of them is much better than the others,
it's also possible we get to instant apps.
That image of stronghold is the terrain to strongholds.
Yeah, right.
That's the most stronghold you get to spike in your fine.
Most strongholds are good.
Obviously, like to run this stronghold three minutes, five minutes, whatever, but
it's this terrain.
And look how open it is for silver, crazy pearl does he hit the basalt?
No.
I feel like, yeah, it looks like sometimes been kind of in one of this terrain's
going to open up for him, like, look at this, it's not necessarily, obviously, good or bad.
I don't like this though, for Skycrap. So we're significantly ahead at this point and
say, it's just going to come out of the stronghold, right? So we're on court, Skycrap,
Triggering to Prawning, is it going to be open in this force? I mean, if you did not
have to build out on this level, like you could save a lot of time on this terrain now, but
there's only so much time left to save, right? Like if silver's in the end first, it doesn't matter
if your child is better, and you're going to be the same. Skycriting the cords. Silver gets
a good spike to the right. Is it a good place here?
I can't remember where is this portalan? What is this? Look at the portalan. Oh my goodness.
Oh, what are you going to need to find? Never seen that before.
So what am I here for Silver entering the stronghold or entering the end? What's the
zero. What do we have is we have seven explosives. And it's back 85 maybe back 88, but this should be very
ahead of all. Should get to 95 here. Don't think I'll push 99 maybe. Nope, just to 95. Very unlikely for the fly.
It was for the safer at zero. Hopefully. It will go smoothly here for silver.
The 10. He knows he has the time not risking that first double bed. Clean 3 plus 2 from silver.
He's put himself one feet away from knocking out who could be the fan favorite Skycrab from his first ever playoffs
I mean, this is so bad. Yeah, I remember like I feel like a different person was ahead on every split
Yeah, it's interesting. I
Yeah, that seems so back and forth. I feel like it was so hard to track who was actually winning
Yeah, because I mean silver entered or the another later
But have those extra blocks is able to save so much time.
I'm able to save 13 seconds getting to the bastion.
So, it's definitely interesting to see
these different runner play styles, but in either case,
I am looking forward to game number four gear.
Hopefully we'll see a game five.
That's what I'm hoping for.
I'm selfish.
I want us to be more late.
I mean, it's very, very possible.
Oh, production call me on the stretch.
Oh, good.
It's very possible, right?
Like, Skyguard played the second thing great.
And I think you're just playing the C grade as well.
Just different straddles, a little bit struggling,
finding the spotter in the fort.
But that was kind of it.
Like it was still close into the straddle,
and it was, um,
it's strong that I'm being a lot worse than silver's but
it really could be anything.
And Scott got a good stick.
We'll see if he picks B to you.
I'd be shocked if he wasn't pick B to you.
But we have to see, we have to wait.
The pick does have to come in.
But that could give him the benefit in the overall.
And we saw even though he just on the ship
The world Skycarb was ahead by 15 seconds.
Granted, the dirt sand will play,
lost in time getting to the bridge,
but the bashing didn't need a stack of blocks,
who knows?
And there's the BT.
There it is.
There it is.
But I mean, hey, so I know Silver spent
a lot of time on the wall.
He spent a lot of time mining sand
trying to get those BTs.
So I definitely think that this is going to be interesting, regardless,
it's not like it's like a 100% Oh, silver is guaranteed to lose this seed or something.
I think I go either way.
It is interesting though, like we were mentioning before, obviously Skycrab has a lot of experience with the BTs,
but it does seem like maybe this season for whatever reason silver's been struggling with the below 50% win rate on the BTC.
So I definitely think this is favored for Skycrab and for multiple angles, but it's hard to say, you know,
I don't want to underestimate silver by any means.
Yeah, it's not like silver doesn't know I did.
Little B2 like you said.
It is a seed type in ranked.
It has played a lot of them.
Obviously a lot less than Skycrab has through the resetting.
But a lot of that RST skill of trying to find that fake spike, right?
Trying to lock the specific seed that has the best chance of going to be
T. has the best chance of being on a good island, right?
That's not important in ranked.
The seed is given to you.
You don't have to reset, if there's no mob spawners on the spawner on it,
start around and there's no mineshafts, there's no ocean runes, so you get one spike
and that's the BT.
You don't have to fight between two spikes, three spikes, four spikes, whatever.
So a lot of skycrab is potentially really good at, gets shown off a little less, but
again, he is first of the gravel here by just the second, that's actually being second
them.
They jumped in the water first, but I think
several jumped from farther out.
I'm analyzing that, that's so good.
I mean, the important takeaways that they're very close.
And then neither of them struggled on that, BT,
and then we'll have to see how they deal with...
That's good.
Like, here are two of those, are punching one log instead
of making a gold pressure fight.
Staving it for a gold shovel, saving the goal
as well for distraction, probably the smarter play.
I would have made the gold pressure plate
because I don't want to punch one log.
It's just frustrating.
Look how fast Skycrubs he placed the boat
on the sugar cane by the way.
I don't know if that's tech or he just did that.
Never seen that before.
But he is so far ahead into the surgeon.
I feel like that's just slower though, in my wrong,
like you, you want to see the other way?
I feel like you want the other way.
I feel like you want the other way.
Yeah, probably, but it's like it's cool.
And look at this, when in the overall world, anyway, so, you know, I think this dial points are worth it, I guess.
I mean, yeah, but I think that's just off the, I don't think that's off the sugar can.
I think that's off the TNT placement and the crafting speed.
As we head into the treasure bastion, skycrubs, singing light, treasure bastion,
situations looking for the fork.
As we get W boat clutch from both runners, but skycrubs just ahead.
coach on of that gold block is so we're gonna hit the same one. No, what would say for him and down?
I'm going to keep his lead into the fourth.
It's where we've seen Scott got loose some time over silver, but
really say getting to the next split as well. I don't even say the fourth necessarily. I would say
Yeah, it's like spawner.
Yeah, yeah.
It's good to do the fuck.
These are the back parties forcing strays.
It's just a difference in mindset.
I think between ranked and RST.
How are you playing these sports skycrap just opening
himself up to more variance off of forcing strays more and
not playing the spawners as much?
We'll see if that happens this scene.
But he's playing this bashing lights out.
Some blocks I'm going to take as I say that.
I said that he misses a gold throw.
We have to have at least a little bit of a commentator's first.
That's a good level.
It's not like they died.
It's just a quick little small thing.
Oh, my, my, my, my, my, my, my.
That's what we do.
They put these runners.
I mean, silver and a very similar spot now.
Both on these single chests here.
So maybe not as far behind as he was entering the fashion,
not like he was in that far behind.
Let's check that.
already wants to prolong maybe sell the fork I didn't personally.
We know it's more pearls. They have enough.
I'll be all ready to go. So fast. So we're going to have to check the
dates. You didn't even have a prolong set.
The skycrab sea of the 40 did guessing. Okay. Okay. Nice. So we're
having the exact same way, but skycrab is just so fast. Look at the
on the C-C-330 spawner.
Yeah.
There's the bed.
Again, no pre-crafting in the bashing,
playing for the, you know, the high row of not needing it.
There's the Blaze bed with the TNT very fast.
That up.
He's got a couple of trays.
Oh, that's those two hearts.
And he's trying to escape this Blaze.
Oh, nice.
Beautiful dog from the Scott crowd.
He doesn't have the back of the spawner built out,
but it doesn't look like it's gonna punish him.
And is that straight gonna matter
for the rod cycles for the rod drops?
I don't know, Silver didn't deal that straight.
He spent more time playing at the spawner,
also taking a little bit of the damage from these blazes.
And the rates have fallen off a cliff,
so this seed looks a lot less like a sub seven
than it did one minute ago.
And we've got eight explosives here for Skycrab.
So definitely a loss of opportunities for any kind of zeros that you'd really like.
A for silver is six for Scott crap, maybe seven for silver now.
Because he made it.
I thought I, did I not see five bed three anchor?
I thought I saw five beds.
I don't know if he has, I don't know if he has the,
Oh, does he not look low star or something?
I'm just looking at the, the overview of everything on the bottom.
So I was looking at the inventory.
I could be mistaken.
maybe I miscounted or something, but we'll have to see.
There, let's take our game to more rods,
but Silver on the same situation with the rods.
Get to his fourth there, get to his fifth there,
get to his sixth there, Silver's gone.
Let's take our gun as well.
Tide, yeah, so it's terrain with his first first guy,
crab doesn't so he could say better launch.
But look at the codes,
Maybe Scott Jones's first pro was just good enough.
They're within four blocks of each other,
building the portal at basically the exact same time.
Super sitting a little bit like a couple of seconds there,
though.
We'll just go on and go.
I'll just go on and go.
It's becoming on the map.
And Scott got notably on this seed nerdy is pre-crafted.
One hole for silver, there is the portal.
And Scott got one hole as well.
But somewhere here, he's got the app's crafted.
Little bit of a stutter though.
This is closer to where a rotation is going to matter here.
Yeah, yeah.
And it's back, small boy. Wow. Wow.
We push 95 here because we have to.
Let's see. So where's got the block.
Sky crab doesn't have suicide to alternate.
So can he, this is the tower.
What matters the most? This is half a second.
Does he push 95 with no alternating?
He does. Silver gets it all.
Great fence.
Sky crab, no double double double.
Oh, so let's not.
Hey, close up here. No, he can't. He's dead.
Skycrab now to finish this off and take us to a game five. Can you do it?
I'm so great. I don't know. I think I think the dragon was too low and he tried to place the bed.
But Skycrab there, taking out the dragon and taking us to a game five.
What an other game five. Oh my goodness.
Yeah, we're going to be in Mimash and Austin.
when I guess it was just too low maybe he just like got full of stuff like two slow.
Yeah, wow, this is okay. This is fast. That's better than my R&TB.
There's the stuff. There's the stuff that's I'm asking for. That's not it.
That's no looting as well. You know, that's just crazy stuff there.
And the final silver was ahead. Like two seconds like it. We could have been in the 643. Like, wow, crazy stuff.
Warlocker, Warlocker. Let's blur out the ranked overlay. Let's upload it on the
Look, they YouTube channel's got to grab sub seven,
we're in a little bit, that's right.
Yeah.
What happened, huh?
I think my only thought, and we'll see,
because well, obviously, get it, get a clip back on this.
We're going to mention else, I don't have confirmation on that,
but I'm assuming Fulham's working on that right now.
But I think it was just, like, Skidler got to 95,
but he didn't get the first bad double bad buff, right?
because it was slowly to not the source end alternated in time.
So we're maybe barely got there in time
and maybe panicked on getting that double bed off
and so the timing was just a little wrong, right?
Cause you just like, right?
Obviously placing one bed and blowing up
is a lot faster than charging a bow,
even though the bow was shoot so fast,
or you have to pull back and shoot the bow.
You can't like fully lift the arrow.
You gotta give it a little bit of charge.
So I think it was just probably a little too wrong
but we're gonna have to follow on that clip
can just a bit and actually break down that timing.
Wow, Silver, one zero away from moving on the next weekend.
And now he's going to see five situation.
But nerdy, he doesn't have to pick,
he doesn't have to pick an ocean scene, right?
Like Silver gets to pick.
No, he's lost.
Yeah, he can pick, doesn't temple.
He can pick village.
I think he'll probably pick, doesn't temple because.
I don't think that's what they're saying.
I don't think that's what they're saying.
He low key captain on the village sheet and he banned those
or temples.
So I think we're going to see a temple seed five.
And this is another best of five where we're going to have
presumably if you picked those or temples,
one of each overall type in the best.
Ooh, good for overall.
That is true.
Pretty cool.
A lot of the time we see people, pick seeds that they win on.
When you get to these seed fours, you get to five situations
where you can pick from every other seed again.
You'll see two reporters get played or two villager get played or two days or
times is a good play.
Presumably, Silver is going to pick Desert Temple.
I just shocked if he doesn't.
I will see.
We've been told, midnight analysis is already let's look back at Silver's zero and the rest
of that last seed before we get in the game five.
See exactly what happened.
We're going to set it over to full them and then we'll be back in just a second.
Okay, welcome back to the mid match analysis.
It is another game five in our round of 16 matches.
How awesome is this?
We're going to see some amazing gameplay as you guys have already seen.
So we're going to just talk about this fourth seed.
This last seed that we just watched.
And of course, everyone wants to just talk about the zero cycle.
That's the most important part.
But I wanted to just pick out a couple of small nuggets
of information that I thought was important.
Now SkyCrab, during this treasure route,
played it very, very differently to silver.
Notice as he runs up these stairs here,
how much gold is in fact thrown during this route?
Ends up only having four gold by the time
we are at the top of the bastion connecting the two ramparts,
starting the route with 10, meaning six trades were scattered throughout that
bastion. And I thought that was going to make a massive difference. And if
skycrab didn't notice, it definitely would have done. However, once skycrab had
finished throwing his gold in the hole, he actually returned to the bottom of the
bastion and all around to grab those extra trades. Look at those two trades
that were on the stairs here. We have two of sitting in and as he goes back up,
One pearl trade that is on the dirt right here.
Now of course, this could have been a situation whereby the piglins
looking at the gold finishes the trade and those pearls fly down the
bastion into the lava.
So can we say that he got lucky?
No, we can definitely say he didn't get unlucky though.
There definitely could have been a massive variance between these two
runners within this seed.
And finally, we'll talk about the zero cycle.
It's the most important part.
of the seed by far and silver entering the end first, entering the end dimension, significantly
ahead, building up, getting it to 95 with what we thought would be enough time given the fact
that we were alternating between the blocks here. And as we can see, it looks like we're about to
get it, but with that first bed there with that double bed, after this arrow, unfortunately,
the second bed does break. The bed that he places here breaks and does not detonate. Meaning
that silver almost hit the two plus two, but wasn't able to. And tries to recover it as
well as he can drops down, but drops down a little bit too low, not able to get that bed
destination off. And if he drops down, just maybe a few blocks less here, he's likely able
to detonate this bed that he's placed here, finishing off the dragon and winning three to one.
But without further ado, I don't want to, I don't want to ice these runners, even any longer.
I almost said I was glazing the runners. Hey, maybe I am. But we're going to send you back
to the C5 right now, see who takes home all of the victory to go through to the quarter
finals. Hey, I'll have to add this back. I know another game five. Let's see what
Let's see type it as real quick before we get right into the match.
We know we're all waiting for it.
I'd be shocked again if it wasn't a desert temple, but we'll see there it is, nerdy.
Another slate, every overall being played.
Almost a sub 7 on the room portal.
Sub 7 on the BT.
I don't think we're going to be getting a sub 7 on the desert temple, but maybe sub 6.
Danny can do it. Anyone can do it.
I believe if Danny got a sub 7 on a temple recently got a Danny and I believe I believe silver. It's gonna be awesome
I think Danny has a like I think he's a few ranks higher than you by the way just to make just
I mean even being insulting Danny. I was just saying I believe I believe in these runners. It's possible. Danny prove
Okay, well listen me and Danny have major beef so so that's that's okay
Okay, that's okay. But anyways, we'll put that beef aside for maybe six or seven minutes here depending on how fast it's time to see it as as we get into the match
Game five silver versus skycran
It never works in air like I can't look away from the chat and see
It's funny. It's funny. You guys are
Let's see. Oh, good. It's all good
Spawn on a level pool for what it's worth, not sure what the gravel is yet, so we're
entering the right, Skack of editing the left, let's analyze this for 10 minutes,
see what the difference is here, which is basically nothing, Skack of saving a little
bit of health on the fall down with that sand, I just don't know where the gravel is,
no gravel, the bottom of the temple, both roading to the water team to you.
We're going to wrap it up, we're going to see.
We're going to be right here in this favor.
Silver.
Scott Crab as well.
Trees.
But the radar has dried up where these runners are at, so do we go more into the left
for the gravel?
Looks like pretty similar routing.
Silver is found in nice patch of trees there together.
But Scott Crab's also found a different, very nice patch of trees that are together.
11 TNT from Silver, or 11 Wood from Silver CT, Scott Crab 18.
So both of these ones are going to be fine.
I'm just cleared out a lot more of his inventory as well as the lay.
I like to go now.
But some of his trees were closer to the gravel.
So he started the river.
So he started his gravel collection process earlier.
Got the Flint from the TNT.
Skycrab, working on it now.
And Silver is heading to the Lawville Pool.
First, you're getting it's not on Ocean Seed and Silver, very ahead here on this overall.
Great usage of TNT there in the portal.
And this is somewhat expected, so we're just going to say the one more crap.
This is the one that was passing by the screen.
That was clean.
Wow.
He's been practicing that.
Is Scott coming to do the same thing?
Nope.
And is what it spills?
Can't double click the bucket.
Big lead for silver.
Often.
I'm like canics.
I'm not seeing the decision-making tree routing and the portal build.
Incredible stuff.
nerdy it's a speedbridge. Maybe with a stack of locks and we have it from the temple, but the nerves
Steakrab opting to go up here. I was always a little bit scared, but still we're doing a very good job here. Just make me over here.
I'm not going to decide to go up. Gonna fall down. Looked up for a second. That's a lot of time loss.
That's silver approaching.
I don't even know what bashing this is.
How is it? I think?
Surely. Say what's up here.
This is a little bit difficult.
It's good to some of the previous ones who got it.
What are you doing? What are you doing?
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Oh my god.
His gap. He had to just drop his gap to stay alive.
Two more gold in the inventory.
Two sword pigs.
It is really bad.
And look at the terrain.
This guy could have been taking. Look at this way higher, sees the double triple has this info early does he play double triple does he play triple got this could be
Plus this is a
Boxed off is nothing that as well silver looting this triple chest finally
Scott got has not looted the chest, but Scott got is playing double triple. Wow look at this and so
He has fully committing right now to triple the guy.
Yeah, and it's like an understandable decision in that moment.
Wow.
This is this is the whole suit right here.
This is it.
Yeah.
It's going to be a minute ahead because he knows he knows there's a good terrain.
I was of the ship as well.
Silver has an easy plane.
He's in the top of this bashing somewhere.
There's no idea how to leave this.
He's going to try to leave it the way he came in.
Sackered as such good terrain here.
This is, did I say like a minute of time difference if this double triple hits for
first guy, but we couldn't get one bad. He couldn't get no fire. I see you could get no obsidian.
We don't know.
It's just as an obsidian. So you're sitting kind of in five. It's not amazing so far.
Well, to see what else we get here.
That's a lot of them. That's a lot of 16 is going to have the hobby, but the explosives and the pearls and the fire
are still important. No gold blocks in these chests. There's one. So he's working with nine gold
watch on this double triple here. Ask Sucker in the middle of the triple gap
around. Wow. 20 pros. 39 string. 3.
Yeah, you're good. You're good. You're just going to wait a little bit longer
traded. We both were there and TMT for blaze that. So Scott
wrote his house should be out very soon. How many
trades I guess does he have fire as though? That's the only thing I didn't
and see, do it as well, beautiful, double triple trades
and he's gonna be out.
This could be the seedling.
Is there several looting though?
Is this a pro-Hine or is he leaving?
He's going back up.
I think he's leaving.
Very committal.
From similar percentages.
Oh, this is like he's losing so much time.
No, he's got to be at this water.
He's trying to figure out how to leave.
Finally, he makes his way up.
He sees that son of the ship.
Oh, what is going to do with his head?
There we go.
There we go.
This way.
You should know at this point probably what happened to SkyCrab there.
Now, SkyCrab with a significantly, little silver be able to claw back in this time.
I mean, I don't know.
It's an open spawnery.
You got to spawn right away.
SkyCrab is not playing straight.
We've seen him lose time to that on seeds before.
But not now.
I wonder how exactly, I don't know,
exactly how many explosives, excuse me,
sorry, Skycar, that's.
Oh my god, he's got 15 wool, five bed three anchors.
So yeah, basically every zero is gonna be hit,
well, maybe even five bed four anchor.
And see, hopefully the measurements
will be slow like in that first seed that we saw.
Thank you, sweetheart.
I got the same seed on others.
Oh, way we get different strongholds.
It's 1300 blocks, but Skycarbs got better food
and health situation, he still has the gap,
does he still have the gap?
I know so we're lost the gap
because we had to drop it to not die.
I think Skipper might still have the gap on his inventory.
He does.
Yeah, good call.
Very clean stuff.
And that's going to be very nice for really decords,
or you know, I mean, it's just going to come down
to that in zero, right?
I don't know how we still are going to make up any time here.
On the for it, it does, does he send a to I?
Like, do you have to, I don't know.
Play us on the line. Do you rely on Skycrab choking? You might think that he's doing double
triple, so maybe silver can think, oh, maybe he doesn't have that many explosives, right? Maybe,
but that's not the case. Skycrab has nine explosives.
Yep, absolutely. Does silver send, no, he's got another really cycle here. So he's not going to send it here.
He also would have had a send of four either. There is the two eye potential for silver.
If this blaze drop, now he's leaving, so he's got it all, but Skycrab on-court, he's
messing up a little bit under-court, but he's so far ahead, has to come down to the
map.
And the spike, so we're need to bad-shadow, need a zero choke from Skycrab.
He's made up time getting a quartz here from not enough.
No spike?
Yeah.
That's it, ooh, oh, there it is, there's one.
Down, man, man, scary, maybe with mobs, he still hasn't eaten his gap.
It's a mine shaft, it was not the wrong spike.
Did he hear it?
He can down.
It might be it right there, Fimer.
That is it.
But it still runs into this, it could be faster if he pearls down.
He's in the same spot.
No, he's not going to, maybe he hears it under him now, but Scott, I had it by too much for
are somewhere to do anything.
I can't be entering the end here.
And it's open.
How do we choke the zero?
It's chance to eliminate silver.
Is it back 97?
He's too purling this.
Maybe it flies on the side, set up.
He only has two pearls.
Maybe it flies on the side, set up.
I doubt it's found on the side.
But that'd be the only situation.
Is he ruling?
First two beds look good.
Didn't fly.
Apparently he looked at an end of him maybe that would be no, please, please no, please. I don't know. No, this is the last anchor, though
Hey, does it get down with a boat
But if he gets in the fact that I don't know if Charles was saying that or not
If he gets in the fountain, that's playoffs for Scott. I don't like you saying I
Moving on
No, I'm a saws getting dated by chat. No, I didn't write that silver hits the zero, but it's just too late
It was the double triple versus triple the gap. That's it. So there's out round one again two plants in a row
Last season. That's awkward. This season again skycrab new player
Moving on again nerdy blaze my moving on and through. All right, true
And I okay, I'm not trying to flex. Okay, I'm not trying to flex. What I would like to say
But so far my pick-ups are on point. I guess both games
precisely to the match three two for both of them.
Wow, that's going to write up.
I wonder, like, I wish we had the like,
integrated picks into the client.
So not all because I wonder how many people are still on it right now.
I'm glad I'm on this guy crab.
I mean, I didn't want can win any match, obviously.
Not saying that monkey was the, like, clear favorites.
So was the clear favorite, but they were the higher scenes,
We're there to see the blurs.
Skycrab blazing on both their first on in class.
They fight through the nerves.
They get it done.
Let's talk to Skycrab and see what is slots
or winners' interview.
Let's bring them in here.
Skycrab can grats on the win.
How are you feeling after that seed
moving on to the next round?
Good.
So you went through a few different matches.
there obviously a few different seeds what what how are you feeling how are you able
to bounce back in under this pressure is obviously a very different format than you
know RSG so how does it how does it feel to be under a lot of pressure but still
able to get the wind. I can't skip. I know three no I mean hey that's fair.
At a loss or words it seems but I mean played every old-world type saw you had a crazy
leads on the ocean seeds. I guess on this desert temple seed, did you do anything
different to keep your composure because obviously you entered second and then
in the start of that another there made a bit of a train miss out trying to force
upper train not necessarily like your fault but just trying to force the
upper train didn't work out so you know that not only you're behind on the end of
but maybe behind on getting to the bashing as well,
like, did you play double triple, maybe to try to save some time
or just, you know, send it because silver played triple the gap.
And that's something to be the main difference there
in that scene was there any, you know, deeper thought into that player.
Was it just, you know, hoping the trade set fast around?
I don't know.
I just did double triple because I was so behind already, like maybe,
like 30 seconds, so I just went totally in, I guess.
Yeah, I mean, it works.
It's like great.
I don't know, I mean, she raised you not a lot of people before last weekend where we
even thought you'd be in playoffs and now you made it to next weekend playing the winner
of awkward quarters NHB, which is our next match of the day.
Um, an notable funny status, I guess you don't really have anyone in the bracket that
you'd like to play, um, at least from a stats perspective, considering you haven't
cut into anybody in the entire bracket on ranked ever.
Um, so you know, many prior experience, but I guess is there any player in the
bracket that survives aura that scares you or anyone you're not looking to play
just in general.
Maybe I mean specifically for the aquacord I need to be matched for the bracket as a whole,
or are you just kind of taking the games as they come?
As this is scary, and also, um, I think aquacord is pretty scary to them.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're seeing all the work done to the final day in plops before. So you will see who you get to play after this next match. But Scott, we are excited to see you next weekend.
Similarly, you are excited to keep playing next week and I know a lot of the chat is very excited. So congrats your first
Flaps experience so far going great.
Some awesome Minecraft from you and we will see you back next week. I mean, you're congrats me.
There we go.
Forever without getting there.
That's great.
Dude.
Can't believe that.
That's crazy.
No.
It's an exciting bracket we got going on here.
The new Jens are here.
Season 1 playoffs winner, nerdy old versus new.
That's like a Mr. and Beast video title or something.
Yeah.
I'm a great player.
It's 50 ranked players that last cut up and see in one of the
Japan.
There we go.
It's Dylan and Molly.
Yeah.
Oh, good.
But crazy, crazy that SkyCrab, sorry.
I'm going to add myself.
SkyCrab taking it.
Let's throw it to the bracket.
See what happens shaking up after these first two matches.
Are two lower seated players?
From these first two games, winning two players
new to playoffs, winning.
I'm hoping, personally, that this lower seated trend
doesn't continue.
Even though it really feels like I should be the lower
you see in the whole situation.
It's hard to find for guy understand it's it's it really feels like I
feel like it should be swapped around, but that's okay.
Um, I guess we're in NHB fan you want to hope this lower
seed thing continues, but those are our first two matches of the day.
When we come back from our intermission in a second,
we will have aqua quarters in NHB and then we will have
Fimer Groshox for the last day, last match of the day. This will be a bit of a longer
animation, seven-minute animations would have been told. It has a cute little content video,
so if you have to get watered and had to go with that and go out and do so, but we have the
16-plows participants answering one question, nerdy, that question is, what is your favorite
playoff's moment? And before we get to the animation, I have an answer in the video. You don't
Okay, what is your favorite class memory rather than me for me. I mean, this is a this is a like a very basic answer
But it has to be hacks winning playoffs giving a very heartwarming interview. I think that's my favorite moment. What about you, Fiverr?
I don't remember what I said that I'm not gonna spoil the video.
Okay, so we're gonna throw ten in a mission. We are going to see what they sixth in place where I said I don't have that question
And then when we back, it will be a curvy and partner in the booth.
So this is the nerdy thing to buy.
I'm saying goodbye for about an hour, but nerdy will see you guys again tomorrow.
A curvy and partner will be back for upper-right NHB and Finder to relax.
So, I guess for coming to see you today in the booth, nerdy, it's always a pleasure
connotating and we'll back into tomorrow and we'll throw it over to our quick little
intervention.
It's used in one Danny Boy vs Pro Pro where Danny kills the dragon with his axe.
After failing to kill the dragon with beds, it's such a hard moment, but like recreate
I feel like I feel like that's one of the moments where there's a real chance this never
happens ever again.
I think playoffs.
My favorite playoffs moment is Danny killing the dragon with his axe during his
wrist cycle, and it's my favorite moment because nobody has ever done anything like that before
or a sentence.
I was thinking about that daily way of actually flipping season one, but I think because it kind of person involves me and I think curryway and Parker's reaction was so good.
Was the end of seed for between me and Hacks two seasons ago where everybody thought I am one and then Hacks wins because like neither was it looking at the dry end and then Parker's out of his chair curryway that was chair across his rear mind like that was
that was great.
There's like tons of really good moments
to play off, but my favorite, for sure,
the one that immediately pops into my head.
And I don't think this is a unpopular answer
at all.
I think a lot of people would probably say this,
but it is fine word versus hacks.
They're around a 16 match,
but specifically just that match
was probably the most on the edge of my seat.
I've ever felt watching a match.
I think he has that 515 stronghold enter.
If I ever had a 530 stronghold enter,
different strongholds bulk add.
Absolutely, just like the most nerve-wracking
to a couple minutes of nav ever,
because they're both in a bad stronghold.
Then the ending just like pops it off.
It's just like absolutely a perfect match.
Like two kinds of the game and also porcos reaction.
I love porcos reaction.
It always just gets me laughing just like how,
I mean, it was insane.
It was insane.
I was astonished when I watched that live.
My favorite plowsman was probably from Season 7.
It was just one Fiberg versus Hackskin,
where Fiberg hit the zero.
And then after he killed the dragon, Hacks got a perch.
And it looked like Fiberg was gonna win,
but Hacks ended up winning by like a second.
And I love the moment so much
because Korean porcurs like reactions are so funny.
It just made it like, it made it very memorable in my opinion.
My favorite moment in playoff was probably me winning
you can do because I had a lot of fun playing in those matches again so that's
especially because of my first time playing in the finals. My favorite moment
from playoffs is game seven of the season six grand finals due to all of us is
lucky. Four minutes into the seed, the lucky accidentally leaves the
bastion with only 14 into the end. From that point on he plays the rest of the
seed so flawlessly that he's able to normally recover from that mistake and
actually end up a minute ahead of his opponent. It's a really exciting match which
highlights the mechanical skill, willingness to take risks and lack of hesitation, which
define what he's police are. It's probably going to be the season 6 finale, seed 7.
It's a 33 low key versus blue belt, some tight things, kind of deciding who's the go.
And then low key accidentally makes a mistake and then turns it into some crazy, sending
is 6% chance of the eye breaking and also being zero eye like that might happen and then
the eye breaks and everyone's like we're through the screen watching in anticipation for
if it's a zero eye or not and then it's a two out any drinks and it's a 822 bang.
Money every month and full play also it's the 6 and 6 right friends when
Loki sent the one that I against through.
Today I went with 3,000 of the light issues are crazy commit, especially in the last
of the current finals.
If the one I didn't hit their own issues, then on the spot and the ultimate, basically
swings and Diggs favor instantly, it's fun to see someone in the entire bracket on a
hair like that, but even the place that I could assume in my opinion.
A favorite moment for playouts was watching Loki vs Dugal and Loki sent the one eye in
ground finals to win playoffs in season 6. There isn't why it's still such a crazy
play to even commit to in the moment. But also it was my first ever playoffs and to have
that view of experience with my first ever playoffs watching is just so cool I really wish
every playoffs has kind of such a dramatic moment like that. My favorite moment from playoffs
has got to be my season 6 grand finals against Loki because of how close it was and how
how many crazy moments there were.
I would have liked it a little bit better if I had won,
but either way, I think it's by far the best grand finals
we've seen in playoffs up to this point.
I think for me, my favorite moment from playoffs
is probably the last seed of this last playoffs.
Meavis, Axe, a game to expand finals.
Or even though I did lose, I think it was a very, very fun
ending to that match, because I am entering the end
about two or three seconds behind Axe,
and I was in Porter the first five,
a hunger reset, and then I'm entering two seconds of hindsight.
So I know I have to push for a two plus two,
and Hacks knows he's only two seconds ahead.
So Key knows I'm gonna go for two plus two,
and I might hit it so he has to go for it as well.
So we both had a two plus two,
right at the end, Key wins playoffs,
and then as well if you look at,
if you watch my screen,
you can see my screen shake a little bit.
Because as soon as I saw the lost thing
that Hacks won, I slammed my desk.
I think my favorite moment from the playoffs
is the toolsmith incident between Bugal versus Hackenosis in DCs and 5 finale.
They just kept dying and the commentators were like freaking out and full-hums were
drawing circles and it was like so funny to watch at the time.
It's kind of ironic, it shouldn't really be my favorite moment, but
a lot of the time it definitely wasn't my favorite moment, but
It just has to be in season four, my match against Angle White when I had a creeper explode
on me while I was in a temple at the bottom.
But at the full reset to seed, it lost 30 seconds to it and then proceeded to make almost
all the time back and then lost by a few seconds in that.
In hindsight, I think it's my favorite moment because it's just a nice testament to the
fact that anything can happen and both are good way and about. Like you can lose 30 seconds
often nothing and you can also make back 30 seconds often nothing. It's a nice mental check point
as well just to look back on a moment like that. It's far I've come as a player both gameplay
wise and especially mental wise. My favorite moment from play also is my two supposed to be
silver last season. There's just such a cool moment that I needed two plus two with that much
nerves are such a big underdog. There's the first time I actually
performed well on a big turning. I think my favorite moments are
access 623 and the Loki vases silver map from season 7. It's just
up to close match. 3 subs 8s and then 1 subs 7.
Welcome back, everyone, to season nine of the MCSR ranked playoffs.
It's me, Crayway, joined with RecGRAP, Parker, how are you doing today?
How have you enjoyed the matches?
We've had two best of five, the audience doesn't know this, but we've been watching
in a call.
Yeah.
All right, absolutely insane.
Yeah, this is like, this silver versus skycraft.
So that's might be one of my favorites ever.
It was just so close, so such like different play styles.
I've just been, I've been having a blast watching.
I'm ready to keep watching.
I think we have some great matches coming up.
All right, absolutely agree.
I mean, this matches kind of similar,
aquacord, maybe not the same veteran as silver in playoffs,
but has been around for a while played in multiple multiple playoffs.
And HB, someone first time here,
are they also going to win in their first playoffs because so far actually people playing
in the first playoffs has won every single uh that's a five so far today.
So that's pretty strange.
We'll see if it continues happening definitely would be an upset but very excited
to see that also shout out to our editors that was a great in their mission video shout
out to Laura who not only edited that in our mission video, but also ref to the first
two games of shout out to our refs as well.
Very cool.
This production is a conglomeration of a bunch of people volunteering and doing a bunch
great stuff. So we're very, very grateful for that. But before we get into this
match between aquacord and NHB, we do have a content piece for you. We're going to
show you an interview with NHB. Get to know one of our new playoff competitors.
Hello, NHB, six years of spirit and I'm very happy to take place in this tournament.
I started this building in 233 and I saw the sun and it looks really good. I can do that.
I thought it was really good. It's a building that takes a lot of time and appreciation
to learn and after this fight, I was trying to learn and improve as much as I can.
If I'm pretty confident about my first matchup, I'll go ahead and say, I think it's going to be a good match.
We're going to tighten the skills so hopefully it's not a trio.
This Marker is pretty scary but I think I see a line to semi-planals and I don't know
how play hats, fine bird, English, or OSTs, I'm just gonna find it so I'm not sure
we're gonna have to reach the difference. I'll be able to just reach in that because
it's a special display so I don't know if I experienced that well.
We have a friend group called Cart. We do fun things sometimes.
and we try to learn from every mistake from glad to that people like Darby and East York
Steans also and much more so shout out these people in car it's the only thing that gives
money on me every turn. Thank you so much NHB. I mean Parker one thing that caught my
and that interview and again thank you NHB thank you the editor is that was edited by Lucky.
So, sure Lucky, sure all the editors. But one thing I noticed mentioned the group car I think
I think this is not going to be the last time we hear a car this weekend, because we heard EDCR and
Steeza's name is mentioned, and their plane is at today, or tomorrow, I'm actually not 100% but they're
playing each other. Yeah, they're playing tomorrow. So that'll be very exciting to see more of this group.
But yeah, I mean, Parker, any early, so also on this mastery in awkward and age B, any predictions,
anything you want to think about as we head into, what I'm assuming will be the player screams for the
But you're right.
Production-wise, I'm just out of the account on another upset.
I kind of want to see NHB take this win.
NHB is a player that I've probably played more than most of these players
in play also.
That feels kind of cool.
I really like the mentioning of the car friend group.
I think being in friend groups and being surrounded by people with similar
mindsets and improving in the same way is such a good way to improve.
And I think we can clearly see that in NHB making it through LCQ.
Absolutely. As we see the stats here,
aquacord, sub 10 average rank time,
just barely end a slightly better average rank time as well.
I mean, looking at the screen,
all the stats kind of go towards aquacord,
except for the peak e-lo,
which does go to an HP and I think the one thing for people
who might not as be familiar,
obviously there's a bunch of new people watching playoffs this season.
So I think the thing to know about both these runners,
and HP is a very, very high speed player.
Can hit absolutely insane top speed
as you can see in the bottom right first rank sub 5 end enter, that is absolutely crazy
speed. And then awkward as well, a very consistent player who's been around for a bit, but
also has rank to be two world record, which is crazy and the former blind world record worker.
So either of these runners are slacking at all in any regard.
I don't know if you're a percent not to mention awkward getting forth in last playoffs.
You know, that's that's nothing to to blink your eyes up. This is going to be no, I think this
This is going to be a good match.
Yeah, I absolutely agree.
Last thing on that screen was the NHB slingshot
the-
That was funny, but they definitely back and forth kind of
saying, which we can see kind of in their win percentages as well.
NHB, two win percentages under 50 percent, not something that you
normally see in ranked class, but has played again an absolute
fun this season to get to this point.
While Aquacord, much more consistent across the board,
two win percentages with over 60 percent, and a really fast, very
treasure time, 934 is incredibly fast for VT, faster than the ruin portal seed for him.
That is interesting. Another notable thing I remember I was looking at NHB's stats. Maybe some
of the reason that he has some of these lower wind percentages, it's the just forfits more. I think
he has an 18% forfit rate. Sometimes with these top echelon players, we see a 0% forfit rate.
So is that going to affect how you play in playoffs? There are coverage, the mentality,
we'll have to see. Yeah, and that's an absolutely great point. I'm looking at NHB's stats,
18% this season, 13% last season and you're right.
So many things, so many players at the top level nowadays.
Normally, you have like a 0% or like 0.5,
but NHB, one of the very few players
playing in this tournament with a high-4-fit rate.
And obviously in playoffs, you can't forfeit.
So that's gonna be something kind of an aquacords favor here,
but again, an NHB can reach these peaks,
can reach these top speeds.
Absolutely could see a world where NHB wins convincingly.
Let alone win it all.
Yeah, I think I think that's definitely the line.
I remember I was watching some of N.H.B's vlogs and he was doing some insane stuff.
A little cracked.
Yeah, N.H.B. I'm very excited.
I actually haven't watched a lot of N.H.B.
Mainly a little bit of time zone, a little bit of just,
I just haven't seen a lot of them.
So I'm very excited to see their mechanics on display today.
As we are here in the seat selection screen,
upper court banning ruin portal N.H.B.
any very treasure, which makes some sense.
I think awkward word picking desert temple here,
pretty standard.
See type, it's always fun to play with TNT.
Kind of something to get your mechanics warmed up.
It's a first see here in a good way.
And I think the interesting to see shipwreck on the board
and village afterward, some point.
100%.
Good mechanic's warm up.
I remember watching the silver portal just in our last matchup
with the team.
How I want to see that again?
That was like maybe the most beautiful portal I've ever seen.
Yeah, I mean, that's a great plan.
I think one last thing that we can mention is we're going to
hoping that this game very shortly is I think something to watch out for with both of these players
is both of them really like pushing like whatever the newest straps are they are so quick to adopt
them so quick to try them out and and just kind of master them immediately like I would not be
surprised to see some TNT portals here or not be surprised to see some crazy block placement
fashion routes very excited to see how fast and how far both of these runners really push
he seeds to the absolute limit in this matchup.
Here we go, couple of seconds. Yeah, I'll see you here right next to the temple.
Immediately on a desert temple seed, the things that these runners are going to be looking for is
where's my gravel, where's my lava food and lava pool and two I need to grab food or is what I'm
getting from the temple enough. You see the NHB slightly getting to the TNC first.
Yeah, I saw some, I saw two portions of water, you know, we have a river off to the side, but
There's one lava pool next to a like a dry water pool and that the desert, so maybe you're gonna be
What lighting here unless there's some gravel in the caves, which I don't see. Yeah, it looks like both runners
We're checking for gravel in the cave, but not seeing it from either side and it's really looking that river is far
Maybe ends up coming into it looks like he might because the lava pool is on the way here at least one of them
But awkward in the other side going to immediately just be t and t in a savane tree much closer to the temple and Parker
or this is a diamond pick exceed and there's a ruined portal actually often the
distance and each piece that I don't know if off a court saw yet. That could make a
difference. I mean, if that's interval, you could get some good food ah, that could
make it really weird. I didn't see the second lovable off to the side, but looks like
both runners going this way. Maybe both runners going to this room portal, I guess.
Yeah, it looks like both are going to head to the room portal. It isn't
an interval type. Not completely with the hobby because there is some pieces of
crime of city and, but is going to be able to get some blint, which is great. And it looks like
HP actually leaving to go back this way. I'm not white sure why, but not real things as well.
Or like, awkward. Maybe just a bit of nerves. Maybe there's a lot of crying of
city and and you're just not used to building a portal there. But I think this is just
objectively a a pretty detrimental mistake here. His awkward words could be finishing this portal
as NHB is starting his. Yeah. I mean, maybe thought that it would just be an awkward
completion and wanted something a bit more consistent, but I don't love this play. Again,
I need to be as someone who's going to be very unorthodox. I think in this tournament
compared to what you've seen, this is definitely an unorthodox play. We need to do enter at the
same time, but very interesting decision making, and something to keep out an eye out for
and the rest of the seat for sure. Yeah, we'll see if any more unorthodox decisions get made here,
both run on through the basalt though pretty standard. Don't see any big train openings here. Is that the
the four off of the left, maybe just the basic thing.
It's like a stable, where's the housing?
I actually can't tell what the bit right on NHV's monitor is.
How's it going?
Yeah.
So this is going to be a pretty straightforward,
awkward at the top first.
NHV not too far behind, but we're playing this very well
to get the man on the top down route started.
NHV still just breaking the chest now.
Yeah, both doing well with the damage.
You know, we've seen in pasties, people taking deaths
both on good health.
You got the diamond pick here.
So the bash and rat was going to be even faster.
How many pigs are they going to get?
What can they pre-craft?
Yeah, definitely.
I mean, awkward as I call it.
Hon of piglins on his end looks like
going to be dropping down for NHB as well.
Code piglins might have gotten stuck,
but I'm sure they'll figure their way out down here.
But awkward, maintaining a slight lead in this bash
and throughout, I think just look slightly better terrain.
Definitely a little bit awkward starting out
in a basalt like that.
But as you said, I think both runners
might have saw a fortress just because we haven't seen any
pie charting take place yet.
Usually that happens sometimes when the runners are mining
the gold.
So because we haven't seen that, I'm assuming the fortress
has been seen by both and aquacord and NHB
going to start to clear their inventories.
We also are at low-obb count,
five for aquacord, two for NHB, no hobby in this chest.
You do have the diamond pick, but you don't want to be mining
three pieces of hobby.
That's just 30 seconds of final last year.
will probably be hoping for a high count here.
Maybe they get some extra hobby in the outer chest.
And he's be at the six, aquacord on nine,
ranked trades are boosted.
But this could be an interesting decision here
if we don't get 20 hobby.
Yeah, and one thing to note is obviously in ranked.
You are guaranteed a chest with five of the city in housing
that is very awkward because there are so many random
outer chests that runners, of course, know how to find.
But it can be very convoluted to deal with throughout.
So having the dynamic extra here is really nice,
but we can see potentially awkward checking the man
that's just a ton of hobby and NHB also
won't even be on 10.
Yeah, deciding not even to check the double chest
and just for committing to home portal,
which in some cases like right could be better,
could be correct, but because the hobby was so accessible
there, suddenly, I'm ordered isn't just such a better
position.
And loaded the Pearl Hang also awkward dog
to re-shrays on the same exact spot that NHB was at 10,
in seconds ago and now this is so frustrating in the park because it takes so long to
region all this health with just rotten flesh. I don't think I either run a draft food. I'm
not sure the Gap will count, but definitely low annoyance here for NHB and is going to have
to be really aware of the Pearl Hank throughout the rest of the siege is trying to find this
water. What's it going to be near impossible because this fort is entirely buried. Oh my gosh, lots
of things going wrong near for NHB, especially on your first match, your first ever playout
performance playing somebody like Aquacord who's played many times
here. How are you gonna handle this mental? You're already behind
Aquacord setting up an interesting triple TNT set up. Never seen that before.
With three like a lot of lava on the side, not really going into the spawner at least,
which is at least nice for Aquacord. But I need to be finally getting to a spawner now.
I'm very curious to see what the blind is going to be like for Aquacord and how close
the board's really arts a whole portal because I would imagine they're still gonna play
the same stronghold because this fort is so close to 00, but I'm not 100% sure, and it's
just such a weird spot for NHB because there are no gapples in this inventory.
The only has seven rotten flesh, so he's going to lose to it and have just Pearl hanging,
probably going to have to have to hunger reset on the blind or on the home portal as NHB is
blinding now with three rods. Yeah, if you're an NHB fan, you're hoping for a different
stronghold, you're helping for some of my business for aquacore, because he's just
commandingly in the lead here, you know, got similar health. They're both pre-crafted,
he's up on the rods, he's up in position-wise. He could even get these two cows down here if
the stronghold is particularly far. Yeah, I mean, I can't see exactly what. Yeah, it's definitely
four digits. I can't, maybe like 121300 or something for aquacore, not exactly able to see,
but one other thing we did in mentioned Parker is because NHB is home-portalling, he's going to
You're gonna have to grab one more rod than Aquacord.
We're gonna have to get seven unless you want to play really aggressively.
Aquacord is gonna be able to potentially Pearl Hang, leave on six for sure,
and just not have to deal with any of the weirdness that any of you
is gonna have because of not grabbing the manhunt chest.
Yeah, I mean, maybe you could have covered up that lava hit his spawner,
but doesn't really matter, because Aquacord just out now,
he's sent his Pearl Hang, he's out three blazes here.
I think he just needs one more rod and now he's out.
NHB still so behind here needs two more rods,
but he's got three blazes.
I think he'll get two drops here, potentially.
It's actually gonna be able to leave here,
but Aquacord bridging to cords to quite a fast eat as well.
Building the portal at low seven at the spot,
gonna be able to hungry set through whatever's necessary
is NHB finally gonna be blinding now
from home portal, getting the measurement off,
Aquacord, I guess falling?
What's happening to what happened there?
Yeah, I guess one point out what's this.
Mist.
Oh, he just built on the Ron block and realized it.
Oh, this is exactly what NHP needs.
Tabbing out to change something on his ninja brain bot looks like he's 129 blocks away still.
Not sure.
Rotary.
Maybe just club chords in the chat.
Flip to X and Z potentially inverted the course.
In the first match of this commentating, I'm going to have to take quite a trip here.
And all of a sudden, and it's be as very close to where
awkward, we'll go to the portal.
Yeah, I mean, you have the diamond pick.
So it's slightly faster mining, but still going from surface all the way down to like
what, why 40, why 50.
That's a lot of digging here.
That's a lot of good for it.
Yeah, I mean, he has to he probably won't need to hunger reset.
And he's be still.
And he's here.
And he's just here at the courts, the portals being built up.
He just placed he misplaces and he has to.
I got has to make all his way around this.
So that it doesn't drop in the lava. Oh my god shout out diamond pickaxes. I mean, here's the other thing though
Aquacord might have a much more difficult preemptive reading Parker because of all the mobs being loaded from the earlier blind
Having to dig down will see if they can get a good spike so that looks really good
Straight line down the right path is this is really close to super clean and the cow makes it so that
Aquacord won't have to hungry sets so crisis averted as long as the zero is hitable
It's looking good, but I mean, NHB's right here,
but the hungry set is gonna make it
so that aqua port still is in the full driver's seat.
Little aqua, 058, back dragon.
It's gonna be hard to hear 95 here.
Low tower ish, saving up for all.
Because you don't have a ton of health.
For zero.
Has got to get just a 99D.
Should be okay to get to 90 yet.
Plenty of time, the question is,
does the dragon fly?
There is no universe NHB can hit 95 here.
It's not possible.
So it doesn't fly for aquacorn, it's going to stay.
And it should be not even going for the zero.
And aquacorn with a clean double bed with all
of the missed halves at the end form,
still taking the first seed in a pretty convincing
amount of to sub 10 in this first seed of the best of five.
Holy smokes, Parker.
That's always a smokes indeed.
That was wild.
We saw, we saw a couple mistakes.
Nothing crazy like a death, but pretty significant mistakes.
You know, we saw an on-hanging of a pearl,
not getting obby missing the stronghold, but awkward chords wins. It's still sub 10.
Axe is all game but easy. Absolutely crazy. We could see here pretty close throughout, but I mean,
it's it's so weird how awkward was ahead by a minute in 20 seconds and then loses it all
to building on the wrong boards. Thank goodness it wasn't a situation where I mean,
he built on the inverse sports partner and they were eight blocks long. Like I imagine it was
80, or like, oh my god, he got a little bit
veiled out there, but is able to still lock in
finished, wrong, not let it affect the zero. And that was a very
difficult zero that we're hit. I finished the seed strong at least.
Yeah, you're exactly right. I think he did finish it strong. I don't think it's a
mistake where it's going to destroy you mentally. You're not like,
I miss something, I miss something up completely. Easy. I mean,
just flip negative coordinates that happen sometimes and he recovered well enough to
I mean, it kept a kept a match close though.
I was happy about that.
I mean, look at these splits.
There's only one split.
It's above a minute difference.
Yeah.
I mean, I think I don't even hate the reasoning of NHB going
for the home portal there, right?
Like, had exactly 10 of CDN.
Probably isn't thinking like, oh, well, the man on chess
probably isn't going to give me 12.
So just kind of playing for that, like, high role play of,
you know, aquacord probably has to deal with this,
like, whatever it's fine.
But then raising the pearl hang is really tough.
And just, I think the fact that that seeds
specifically was Desert Temple makes it so much more annoying because you're just playing all of that on rotten flesh the entire time
Which makes it like really really stressful?
Yeah a hundred percent a couple things that just like I mean if that man on chest didn't have all be like it could
You know could have been a lot different we were only 10 seconds different entering the end so could have been an HP's game
We'll see we'll see if you can bring it back on this next one. You know absolutely I mean definitely showed like
like, hey, I mean, it was in the for first,
like it definitely a weird seed, weird overworld.
I still can't get over that,
not building the portal in the room portal play.
We kind of glossed over it
because so much happened afterwards,
but that was a really surprising decision.
And I think one that not a lot of people
would make normally in playoffs that didn't really
in a matter.
So, where are you?
Very interesting.
I thought it would matter a lot more,
but they entered basically the same time.
Maybe it's because he was at a room portal,
a lot sooner if I remember,
It's just get to run like 50 or 70 blocks to another lava pool, you know.
I'm curious what was going through it said.
Yeah, that's crazy. That is absolutely insane. So, and we're going to hop into the second seed here,
probably momentarily. Look at that. Yeah, here we go, seed selection. To be shipwreck,
we're heading to the ocean. heading to the ocean. Nice little beach day. I'm hoping for,
you know, hopefully a little bit more food than we saw. And that last desert temple seed,
let's switch that up. Maybe maybe get some carrots that we can save for the
past. Maybe it may be a good amount of bread here.
Super X can be awkward a little bit if you get low food. Yeah, I did
it's going to be awkward. We'll see what the food situation is going to be
like for these runners as we hop into the seed. But
shipwreck is something where I don't remember the exact like percentages for
either of the runners. But I think this is something where
I feel pretty good about NHB here. This is obviously anything
I think this is really what you want to take.
You don't want to go down too, oh, near first rank left.
So see what happens here.
We're hopping right into this game for three seconds to go.
See what it looks like?
I don't see the ship yet.
There it is over the horizon.
Upside down ship should be able to loot this pretty easily.
And it should be going down pretty early.
Not going to have a ton of oxygen.
Maybe take a ticker to of drowning damage.
But 13 iron, that's solid.
And the food chest, also pretty solid.
We got a stew for bread, 11, 11, flesh.
It's definitely like, it's not amazing, right?
Like, you're not getting garrets.
You're not getting like a ton of bread.
You're not even getting like a ton of flesh.
Like, I think food management's going to be something really big here.
Of course, in ranked, you're not going to get like a poison sewer, anything like horrific.
Like that. So it's going to be fine.
And that sense, amazing crafty for NHB.
Wow, that was like I blanked and we're done crafting.
That was crazy.
So, really, it's just to see how aggressive food management is throughout the seed.
But, I mean, aqua words of being, excuse me, NHB is going to be pretty much ready to go
here with some absurd crafting, the books like we have a ravine as well, thanks to the
kelp.
Aqua chord not too far behind, but definitely a big confidence research or NHB if we can
get hot stuff, you know, 10 seconds before aqua chord here.
Yeah, pretty significant lead, honestly, especially because it's just such a linear seed,
He goes just a mechanics different. You know, we saw clean crafting from NHB maybe a little bit scuff from aquacord
But I think the main thing was just looting that ship and finding the direction of it because he's just gonna be a raw
Tenor maybe even 15 seconds behind at this point NHB playing this overworld very cleanly
I mean one 30 for a shipwreck enter is absolutely ridiculous and the bastion right here
Immediately this would be a pretty fast seed Parker not exactly sure what I'm looking at here
It's a stable. This is a double. So there's one chest there buried. The second chest
going to be right behind here, going to be able to get armor for NHB, Uncle Quarticking,
a slightly different path deciding to force the very top chest here. Well, NHB is going to
notice the middle rampart is a triple chest going to check the right side gap. It's a triple
chest as well. And now we're in a situation that we've been in, I think the both the previous
two matches parker were double triple versus triple the gap. What are we going to see? It looks
like both runners are going to be going for double triple here. One thing that could be a
lot better for aquacord though is he got that hobby chest from the buried double,
NHB didn't get that. So if it may be potentially NHB doesn't get the hobby that he needs,
or isn't as confident in sending this? Absolutely. That's huge. Also having maybe a
little bit more trouble with the piglins compared to aquacord. Both grabbing these blocks
at nearly the exact same time, but you're right.
The hobby difference for aquaward is going to matter.
Couple of straight piglets here for NHB.
Now you're going to get them in the hole.
Another piglet is dropping in the top
and all of a sudden it's raining piglets for NHB
and none of them are trading the gold.
So could be waiting a little bit longer here.
Maybe those last two ended up falling in,
but it's a little bit awkward here,
while aquaward has a much cleaner route,
both high rain, both note the direction,
and I don't know if I'll be as good a matter
because that's a ton in these top chests.
And it looks like NHB is gonna get that last chest
of the North Korean get.
So now, they're totally even on the chest.
I think NHB got one more,
but it only had gold armor in there.
But I think I like awkward chords, position better.
I think he just played this a little bit cleaner.
You know, it didn't have as much of a mess with the piglins.
And we should be having the same trades
if they traded the same amount of gold.
Yeah, I mean, NHB and awkward both about
ready to leave, aquacord should be raising render any second now, is going to do it.
NHB though has the bedp, pre-crafts that I don't think aquacord has yet, but aquacord
had a phenomenal curl hang as well.
Unfortunately, that I put some in lava, but I really like the position that he threw
out of compared to where NHB might be going here to completely different to random
decisions that might be looking better for NHB now, but the fortress is on aquacord screen.
Yeah, I definitely the most notable thing there was just, oh, don't die at NHB.
Was the the Pearl hanging difference.
You know, Aquacord sent the Pearl hanging, got it off better, but he just, like, threw it into this perfectly centered blob of like and had to throw another Pearl to get out of it.
So, loses even more health here.
He is going to be at the good part of the fortress before NHB, but look at his health, you know,
and he could be a little bit more like, even see the fort, not even on his screen at all.
Well, not see any.
Oh, now just sees it, just sees the fort now.
But this is what we're talking about before
with the food situation like,
and it should be just down to rotten flesh now,
awkward in the fort with too red still.
But I don't, it looks like again,
very different parts of the fortress.
These are not the same spawner at all.
So, could be another game
where maybe it's different stronghold.
I mean, this endgame could be totally different,
but both lays betting around the same time,
awkward in the better position, both with food and rods.
Yeah, even with the double blaze bud for an NHB,
there's just absolutely no terrain here.
I mean, it's pretty solid pace where five minutes,
but this is just so bad for second portal chords,
like look at awkward chord screen.
There's open terrain everywhere, NHB just completely closed
in a wall.
That's gonna be the biggest thing that's gonna be mattering soon.
I mean, to be honest with you, Parker,
I wouldn't even be surprised if these are completely different
words in general like I honestly like yeah such different to rain we
see 88 negative 130 for awkward or for NHB excuse me we'll see if
awkward word opens his F3 anytime soon to see chords but it would not
shock me although awkward getting a lot of blazes now the blind
NHB has to throw two eyes
is it going to be the triple digit one
it's not that looks like about 1600 blocks maybe for NHB
the portal now. He should open F3 right about now. So we'll see if this is even the same
fortress is going through here. It is the same very far 80 blocks separate them in the
nether. So this could be completely different strongholds or one of them could have a huge advantage.
I like NHB breaking in this portal. You know, portals do a little bit of light levels. So potentially
saves a blaze or two there. The aquacord just sucks in the driver seat here. You can't be,
If your NHP, you can't be relying on aquacort to miss strongholding in.
Look at how much faster aquacort is measuring slow was.
One eye. Wow. It's also like 700 blocks closer than it was for NHB.
An unfortunate situation for NHB that I mean, just unlucky on the spawner.
If it could have been the complete other direction.
That is. And he's in an SSV. So he's going to be playing strays here.
NHB doesn't have the option. There's two strays over that direction, but there's a wither
skeleton and the skeleton decides not to go for it gets his last rod and it's just out.
NHB still needs three rods, four rods, four rods, four rods, so just falling behind even more.
If all court gets an easy nap hits the zero, really, generally bad.
That's the right way to drop a chord. It was just so good as well, just immediately here.
Also a new update and rank, I'm not exactly sure how it works with second portals, but I know
As long as your first portal is above, like Y48, you always serve as on your first portal now,
which is crazy. I think there's something similar for second portal, but I'm not exactly sure what it is.
But I'll record in the staircase here in the stronghold first by a lot.
No good spike, Parker. Nothing. No good spike. Maybe you have some weird chunk,
pulling, maybe there's some mobs on your screen over there. That looks like a spike there. He likes it.
Aggressive pearling, there's a zombie, but he gets around it and there's the portal room.
Wow, NHP building is poor though, not terribly far behind.
No, not terribly far behind at all.
I mean, it's just unfortunate that the stronghold difference,
it's unfortunate that it took NHP a little bit longer to find the fortress in general.
Both blind and the exact, or both, secondborn and the exact same spot.
Oh, 55, a pretty easy pearl clip for aquacord.
And it looks like a pretty standard front tower.
It should be very cleanly able to go to Y95 here for the build.
And with NHB not even in the end yet, this is looking like,
oh my gosh, I don't know if I was still in the first.
Oh my god, yeah, half a heart.
Holy smokes.
Oh my gosh, hey, over the silver fist.
I mean, it probably doesn't matter.
Alcohol still has three anchors here.
But NHB is getting the entering the end.
It's not a total sweep.
No, not at all.
And it's just again, like it was really different
decision making to start that fashion route that I found.
It's very interesting, and that chest that NHB ended up going to not mattering is a little bit tough,
but you know, Aquacorn really played the second half of that scene, just absolutely phenomenally.
It gets a sub-9 on the board and is up to, oh!
And Parker, we were behind schedule by about 45 minutes before we came in the booth.
Aquacorn might be trying to fix that for us, I'm not gonna lie.
Maybe I've been pretty excited about all the the game files, but if awkward court wins this next one
That's gonna be that's gonna be our first Rio, you know awkward court. He's been playing very solid here
Manning lead. I love the Pearl Hing from him as opposed to NHP who didn't even have a Pearl Hing a lot better getting to the fort had a better for
hits the zero
Yeah, well, yeah, holy in the driver's seat. I think this is a big the big thing that I'm seeing is like I think the experience of
of awkward word as a 20 player in ranked specifically is really showing it's pay off here.
Like awkward word feels very comfortable.
He knows what to do.
He has been here plenty of times before but again NHV has had some moments just in these two
seeds where it's like the top speed is terrifying.
So I think NHV can definitely still figure something out here.
Get on the board.
I mean, we've seen reverse sweep before.
We've seen all these things before.
I hope NHV brings it back here in the third seed.
will see what it is momentarily, but I would not count this out yet, just because especially
in the overalls, the plays that NHB has been making in the overalls has lent its off to
definitely keeping the girl a bit on the set.
Yeah, and especially as you see like a village seat, maybe you decide to get less food or
make it slightly better decision. I think that Tossby could be helping him out here.
I really like the aggression from NHB. Now, maybe a little bit much with that silver
efficient incident in the stronghold, but he's the out of her pearl aggro, like two or three times
just in the stronghold alone, really trying to catch up a case on off-cookboard. So let's see if you can
do it. Yeah, we'll get a snowy village ever, Curry. Is that something that's ever possible?
How have we ever seen a snowy village in a ranked playoffs? Maybe one in ranked play. I don't
think so in ranked play. I'm waiting for like the 30, I'll be four blacksmiths recently. That's
That's what I want to see.
He's spawning, there's like two on each side.
It's just the most beautiful side you've ever seen.
Like we can figure something out.
These seeds are seed found for like, let's get something crazy.
And we can get a desert, cool Smith seed in the finals.
We can get a snowy village in the round of 16.
I really think we can do it.
No, that's a very good point.
One day, one day, maybe it is today?
No, no, snowy village.
There is a tiger though.
It's like a plain tiger village.
Yeah, this unfortunately, just that, but I'm not seeing any lovable both runners looking pretty quickly for that, both going to grab the hay on the way.
The name of the game with village overworlds is you want to find the most linear route that you possibly can.
So both runners are going to be doing some very similar things here. Hey, into blacksmith, into maybe a bed on the way and five diamonds.
Oh, wow, that's got to work.
That's interesting.
We get a diamond pick and a diamond sword.
You know, just trying to draw those lines
and you had to wear where the notable things.
I saw an HB to switch the hard mode.
Didn't see aquacord do that.
You do that so that leaves catch on fire a little bit better.
So that you can spot lava pools, maybe slightly faster
than near opponent.
So we'll see if that ends up mattering.
Our water should be fine.
Our food should be fine.
Our flinch should be fine.
The main thing here is a lava pool.
And if you go the wrong direction,
You can easily lose 30 seconds just by going the wrong way 100% like that's that's really the big thing
You can see every second that aquacord in any sphere are getting they are F5
Where's the lava pool? Where's any fire like look for literally anything that they can not see it on either and so I mean
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if I see someone like just hell around on a house like it is so important to be able to figure out where you're gonna go
Maybe I was a little bit of a log here had some fire
There may be toggling to hard mode there,
saves him here as I'm pretty sure he saw,
I think over the sill, unless I'm tripping,
he might be going for gravel, might be a bit rate thing.
But I think it could be a nice cool right over the sill.
It looks like he's still committing,
like you could absolutely be right.
I'm gonna call it not looking that direction at all,
and this could be the variance that NHB needs
a great play to go for the fire.
Look at that!
There it is.
And I think literally the only reason he saw that lovable
was because the grass lit on fire, I think that's because he talked
to the hard note, and off court didn't. Genius, actual genius, actual
genius play in ranked playoffs, aquacord, no idea what to do.
He's got a lot of work. He's a lot of cool. That's a hidden
lava pool. That's like a low key to Gile match lava pool hidden
behind a mountain. That is pretty crazy, but this terrain for
NHB is also really awkward. We swallowing in another cave, trying to
build out of here, having the diamond pickers, of course, really
nice, but that's not great. That's not where you want to be, especially when you get such a nice
lead, the start you don't want to be mining 30 million blocks. We see a treasure as the
bastion that means these runners are probably going to be at F5 a little bit more on the way to
it, trying to see if they spot the fortress at all, making sure they don't have to go to the
bottom and break spawner. That would always be a big time loss. Not seeing anything on the side of
either runner, but the terrain difference has been huge. I mean, Parker, I'm going to go ahead
I'd like to call the board back.
Yeah, initially, I liked the upper terrain
for him, NHB, you know, it's good usually
to take higher terrain there.
The aquacort just found some really linear land there.
And I don't think NHB got any better views,
so not going to be getting an advantage of the fortress.
I think it was just a raw mistake taking that higher terrain
in aquacort, oh, look at NHB, taking some damage.
Taking a good bit of damage, yeah.
I mean, the food from the village will be nice.
One of the first seeds, honestly,
that I can recall today, that we're holding around
feel pretty good about the food situation.
Have a lot of bread to mess with this treasure bastion.
70% chance for any of these gold blocks to spawn.
Doesn't look like a lot, only one for NHB in this first little bit.
Is still, I would say, maybe 10 seconds ahead of Aquacord here,
but this treasure is quite honestly just embarrassing.
Both runners are probably going to have to go bottom for gold.
I mean, the Gid-Tree.
Maybe six gold blocks, like maybe even five.
I think you, yeah, I think it was.
Why is this you have gold throw for you?
Yeah, it's me though, that was crazy.
That was amazing.
I think that gold throw is something
runners have been doing a little bit more recently.
I think it allows you to do some crazy boat clutch
tech maybe, but I love to see all the recent mechanical
little tricks that players are doing.
But I think you're right.
I think we're going to be going lower
treasure here for more gold.
Yeah, I mean, I love seeing the remnants of Tom Brady
route, still being showcased.
I love it.
Like that's awesome to see.
I love seeing that.
This is a pretty interesting treasure that, like we said,
we got 14 pearls, 10, hobby.
And again, similar things to the first seed, right?
Like NHB 11, hobby.
Are we gonna home portal?
Are we just gonna, like, what do we do here?
What would you do with this situation?
Or are you a 13, hobby?
I would definitely trade, you know,
we haven't seen the fortress a little bit in close.
I haven't been looking at the coordinates,
so maybe you don't have a direction you're sending.
I think it's totally correct to get more gold here.
You can check for lower treasure for more hobby chess,
but NHB does not have gold, aren't they?
You just have gold armor.
I have gold armor.
So a lot of four big ones at the bottom.
I gosh.
So that's just time loss here, Curry.
Meanwhile, aquacord playing it a little bit more cleanly.
Can make up some of this time.
We got to dive and sword with an inch and on.
Do you see the inch and it was something with four?
So not okay.
Okay, okay.
Now, I'll do an unfortunately two dive and swords
in the HVZ inventory.
No gold armor.
Good to be waiting.
I mean, great point with mine in the gold
because I think the biggest thing again
is just like being able to break the spawner is huge.
you're able to know where the Ford is is such great
and tell both runners deciding to do that.
Even to raise very similar on both sides,
NHB could be leaving soon.
How much like would you leave on 19,
obby would you trade out?
Like, is there any time with a diamond pick
where, like what's your cutoff point with a diamond pick?
Is it just, you're waiting for 20 of you, my bottom?
I don't know.
I think it, it just depends, for me personally,
I really like pushing 20,
just because it's something you don't normally do.
And the last time I had 19, I'll be,
I decided to mine on, I just forgot.
So I went to second quarter course.
I have to go all the way back, mine it,
and then go all the way back to my next coordinate.
So it's like things like that can be really punishing here.
But I mean, you can't leave early.
We have 18, 99, a huge decision.
99, 99 gold still gets the 20, 20.
Hogwarts still waiting has only 17, I'll be.
So NHP is going to be leaving here significantly earlier.
I mean, this is like Parker for ranked playoffs.
This is a pretty slow sea.
The overall world was kind of slow.
The fashion had a lot of stuff going on.
This is a really not really,
not the type of sea we're used to seeing.
No, no shame in anything that the runners have been doing.
Just a really awkward kind of non-linear experience
for both of them.
And it's interesting to see the decisions
that they've made throughout the seats so far.
100%.
It is nice having all this village food
for a seed like this.
But I think aqua chord playing it a little bit better just finding this spawner slightly quicker is this the same spawner.
I think I think it's different the glowstone is in a different spot unless it's like trees and they generate weird.
I'm pretty sure this is different I think it's different we'll see you on the blaze bed because this terrain underneath aqua chord is pretty standard.
That's a crap the second bed for NHB.
This looks the same spawner.
I think you're right I think this is the same spawner.
Yes, this is the same spawner.
different close to opposition so it was a little bit weird aquacord in the lead now because
of finding it so much faster and again if if aquacord wins like and he's
out like this is match point and just be happy to find some type of line here in
the endgame to make up a little bit of time while aquacord's already pre-crafted
but that's the one actually Parker oh no no I forgot what aquacord had already
placed just two of city and I thought he had to mine too but no it's like
So I got really high for that. We had like 20 seconds of
No, never mind. That would be insane. Unfortunately. Oh my goodness.
Don't die NHB. We might be checking through all of this food before the seed runs out.
But I think aquacord, it's just in the lead here. There's not much NHB can do to make up time here.
Both from the crafting mechanics not really going to help a ton here.
Not cry. Oh, but me slightly crazy.
But maybe slightly crazy, right?
It's HP's already on six rods.
Well, of course, he's not killing places.
I've recorded, I think, as, well, yeah,
just needed the last one.
So it's going to be heading to court.
It looks like it's pretty close.
That's a two-digit number in the Nether.
We're only like 10, 15 blocks off here for Aquacord.
So this endgame split has kind of really picked up the pace.
And it's being hurled back on the portal.
Will be heading straight to court.
It's not to get another rod.
But needs Aquacord to mess up this nav a little bit.
I mean, the three always in awkward words hands here and these
oh my god, I think it has to be seen that it is easier or an HP.
I mean, not in the end yet, it's not overtell it's over, but this light looks really good.
No, it's not the portal room, but there it is.
Yeah. And if it's not, I mean, they have a ton of explosives here.
So even if the zero, you have to back out in the middle of it's not the end for
awkward chord. I mean, obviously, you want to be hitting a zero here, but it's just
looking really bad for an HP.
If anyone has gold pick from Dragon Runt,
yeah, probably to be pretty fine for Aquacord.
This is a free zero at a high level 94 though,
with an O58 is not actually totally free.
Yeah.
They go for a 95 offset as an HP,
and the poor misplaces the anchor still has time,
but this is a not clean zero.
This is an offset zero.
The beds aren't great so far.
No bow coming out from Aquacord.
No CS the time, bow coming out at the end.
That's not enough.
So that's so many explosives, though, Parker.
And because of that,
AquaCord's a big three-o,
and this is our first non-game five
with AquaCord winning in a sweet.
That's crazy.
I thought this was gonna be the season of
all matchfives, but NHB even messes up and dies very in there.
But it just doesn't matter because AquaCord
do not collect that anchor AquaCord for it.
I hate it.
They always, they always fully charge an anchor,
And it just doesn't make any sense do like some sort of other celebration. I just can't I can't handle it
I think how like how like me scalp of players for like commentating the player's scalp like okay like what is Parker
Yeah, I'm gonna fill I'm gonna fill this this anchor as soon as I'm done with the sea
I'm just I'm doing that that's the game plan, but I mean really great showing from aqua for it
It shows that he's a veteran shows that he knows what he's doing here. Um, you know, especially like I think
every seed, I mean the first seed was just like a they entered at the same time, but every
25 seconds slower on the enter and by the finding stronghold split made up nearly a minute,
like that's very impressive. Yeah, yeah, literally flips from behind by 24 seconds to a head by 24 seconds.
A chord just play in lights out, you know, finally finally pulling together and showing these
these higher seeds, what should be done,
then the higher seed wins for our third match.
Give it, give it, give it a,
give it a fire brigade tutorial here
because that's, we've got three matches today.
We have the best, we have the Game 5 Cinema's
to start the day and then we have
Awkward winning three out here
and we have one match left that will be after this
which will be fireburg, verse hacking noises.
It's almost time, hold your horses chat.
There's still stuff we gotta do.
We gotta end up with Awkward,
we gotta do like a content piece
And I'm not leaking, I'm not one to leak,
but sources are saying that fiber can help my car.
Oh my gosh, shut up.
They could not shut up, and their content piece is really long.
So you've got to hold your horses.
I also heard what it's about.
I think this is going to be really funny.
Is somebody who thinks it's going to be amazing.
Think it's about what they eat in China,
and say, I don't know, I don't want to leak too much,
but I have a very exciting, it's going to be the content piece.
But again, we got to hold our horses
because legit, I think it's like a 15-minute content piece.
So we'll see when that shows up anyway.
Before we get to that, let's congratulate our winner,
Aquacourt, on winning convincingly 30,
not having to get to a game five, getting us back on schedule.
Now we're only 30 minutes behind.
How great is that?
Aquacourt congrats on the win.
How are you feeling right after this win?
Well, I thank you.
Feeling good.
I was kind of nervous going to that match
because I've been sick for last week.
Maybe you can hear my voice of yours.
I was gonna say that you get a new mic,
I was like,
I could awkwardly do it.
My voice is like,
I've been coughing.
I was like coughing throughout that match.
I saw someone in chat say like,
I looked shaky.
I think I just could always coughing at the end of the match.
Like, holding time matters.
Oh, yeah.
I'm glad that I went to think that they pretty well.
Yeah, I mean, my first question is,
I think seed one you guys entered
like the same time, basically.
But then seed two and three,
you entered the Nether, like 10 to 15.
I think it was 25 seconds on this last seed.
How do you kind of keep your,
well, keep your composure,
not immediately like, get in your head
and end up winning in all of those seeds.
How do you kind of do that?
Yeah, I honestly circumfused
our loss and was shown that over a lot.
I didn't look at that after, but yeah,
I saw as like pretty far behind,
which is like always tilting.
I knew like NHB is probably so nervous
and I know I've been like making up,
like at least like 30 seconds on like the first few seeds.
So I was still like, chill with it like I felt like I could still win it.
So I just played my game and it worked out.
Yeah, I was your mental threat like the whole match,
especially after missing stronghold and building at the wrong court.
And so I know for me things like that just feel like so,
a tilting almost because it's like,
oh, it's a simple thing that I messed up.
Did that affect you at all?
Or were you feeling pretty good the entire set?
Yeah, that's a pretty stupid mistake.
I feel like I, I don't know the last time done.
I just fully flipped the course.
I'm writing like back close.
It was like 200, like 170 or something.
I just flipped them, I think.
Or like maybe it's like 211.
There's 196, 204.
Yeah, I guess that's not that bad, but yeah,
that was super, but I realized
like I was still ahead and just wrong open to this.
Yeah.
Okay, it's like not a huge deal, like it's dumb to state,
but I still win it the night of the day.
It's okay.
I just go in the next match and just forget about it.
Yeah.
I guess the last question for me,
is this your fourth playhouse aqua chord?
Yeah. So talk to a little bit about what's maybe different in your mindset.
What do you feel like you've improved upon compared to previous playoffs?
And what are your kind of goals aspirations for this playoffs?
I mean, obviously you've made day four before our day four, yeah,
day four final day before what are, you know, are you are you shooting for finals?
Like, is it winter bus?
What's kind of your mindset going into this playoffs now that you're a playoff veteran?
This point. Yeah.
I mean, I've never really done good and turned you into the last season.
I feel like a friendly clicked like attorneys like I was as nervous last season
when I got fourth which is really sick. Mad love to win. It's gonna be a hard
or there's so many good people now like so many good people in the bracket. I think Skycard
next barely played a rank but you just took down silver like he's yeah yeah. But I'm gonna try
my boss I'm in a grind hopefully I won't be sick for next week. I might be really bad but
I should be fighting so I'm just gonna try to lock in. Hopefully I can make it for her.
It sounds good.
Barker, anything else?
No, Resta, drink some, yeah, drink lots of water.
Gets a good sleep and keep practicing,
and we'll see you next week.
Okay, got it again.
Awesome, well, that is the first match of two Parker.
And I don't think we're gonna have a long-enhibition here.
Oliver can yell at me behind the scenes,
if that's the, if that's the case,
but I think we're gonna have a pretty short
intervention we might even be heading directly into this game.
I mean, this is gonna be quite the match.
I mean, this is gonna be quite the match everyone.
very excited, five work hacks. Now, if people stayed during the commentator switch break,
you would know that he's actually have a pretty storied history in ranked playoffs. I would say
maybe one of, if not the greatest moment in the history of playoffs, Parker, we commented that.
Did you feel about, we're kind of, we're kind of going back into this. It's pretty exciting.
I'm just amped. I think this is the trend for like this entire season,
Just the longer that ranked as a thing, the more big players that are coming into this,
we just have so many titans going at it before and like you're saying, we have these storylines.
We have hacks, there's this fine bird again.
If it's anything like last time, I'm going to be freaking out.
These are my favorite kind of matches to commentate, I'm absolutely stoked.
So I just heard a word, yeah, let's actually do that.
We are actually going to head right into the content piece between these two.
And I think it's best for this content piece.
I'm not going to tell you exactly what it is, but I'm going to tell you that you should
be seated.
You should be seated.
Sit right down.
It's not an interview with these two.
You know who both of these people are.
This is, this is, this is going to be fun.
So sit back and join this content piece.
And after this, we will commentate what I'm sure to be is a great match between Fine
Burger and Hats.
All right.
Hello and welcome to a brand new totally original game show on your host, President Pancake.
And today, we have two of the best speed runners in the world in this call and also
fine-berg.
And they're going to be put to the test to determine what speed runners know more.
Is it bashings or is it vegetables?
I think we all know the answer.
The rules are as follows.
Gesting the bashing itself is worth 1 point.
Whereas if you guessed the specific spot in the bashing, that's worth an additional 1 point.
If you guessed it's either the vegetable, that's worth 2 points.
and the loser has to be at least one vegetable in the entirety of 2026.
Alright, well, without any further ado, here is your first
bashed in spot.
Please send me what bashed and you think it is, and an explanation or specific location of the spot.
Both players have submitted their answers.
Five million if you want to say yours out loud.
It's the outside of Staples where the hoggrims are, and yeah, yeah, the bugs and the
and hacks you have agreed with that you said stables in the
Hugglin unit area and I can confirm that is the exterior
stable or grain part area of a stable so both of you get two points
round it too and here we're going to see our first
vegetable so please message me what I'm talking about you think this is
wait I don't know wait I actually stuck in three two and it's like
the easy one all right both players have some maybe their
There anchors, packs and you'll see your answer.
I put perno.
Fogs, you'll see your answer.
Adish, bro.
That'll see all the other ones that you've actually unknown.
It's a 50-50, and the answer is, of course, a turnip.
Yes, it's a turnip.
So, I don't know what the difference is.
I did it.
It's a real action.
Yeah, do you?
Round three, we're going back to the bastions.
What bastion is this?
And let's spot in the bastion.
Oh, for sure.
This is the little picture.
Good, Marango.
All right.
Packs, T-Sayer answer?
I said bridge in the middle of the area with a lava lava.
I said treasure lava mode,
because I was gonna say bridge lava waterfall,
that was what I was like, between,
but like this angle looks so wrong.
Why does the lava so flat, right?
Like, yeah, I don't know, you're actually a brat.
I mean, you feel like a lava lava.
How does like one pixel lower
when it's a liquid, and it feels like it's not,
but like I don't know a bridge area
where the lava's flush with them, block.
Some great logic there from Fibonburg
is he correct he is not.
It is in fact the bridge of lava waterfall.
Cause it's like,
cause it flows out, you know,
this is like the lowly block of this one.
Splash block is like this can act in my lungs.
It's not really six to two and I exist favor,
but anything you know I'm with the vegetables.
It's like my wood life turn that.
It's been working, I don't understand what it is.
And we have our second vegetable coming up now.
What vegetable is this?
Probably the same thing as the first one.
I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna do it.
All right.
If I'm with one of your answer,
brush it right on you in relax.
Wait, I didn't write it.
Yeah, I hacked that or radish.
And I can confirm that this is in fact a beat root.
Oh, what?
Wait, what?
A very distinct color of beat root.
Ratschens.
Nothing like how they do it, Minecraft.
I will say, I can see radish.
I
Don't know if you've ever seen a lead up before in your life to be honest
To be fair all the time here. I'm also never seen a run
I'm so proud of what show on me. So now let's begin to say chill up. You know, I don't have to do it
All right, well, I'm ready. So they come back. You might need to get this bastion spot. What are we looking at?
Do
I'm going to push you both for the night.
This is really hard.
I don't know. I'm like, I guess.
All right. Well, fight burying.
It's a treasure middle inside
and hacking.
I don't know if I'm going to explain that.
It's like that one route where you would dig from like under the law.
I'm just, oh, yeah.
I just don't think there's a fair enough.
I think you block there.
I don't know where we are though.
Yeah, yeah.
Because I don't think people are always behind the door.
I said the housing back of the back of the tiny cave,
but I don't think the cave is not big, so I'm glad you.
Let's go ahead and reveal the answer here.
Is the housing left rampart on the front side?
Oh, this is the forcing block.
This is forcing block.
So Hacks, I will give you the point for the bastion,
but I don't think you've got any location for Hacks, okay?
It's still anyone's game?
If your name is Hacking Boys' it's seven to two
and we'll go to our next vegetable.
What vegetables oh my god, this is from where this is from this is probably real life
That's
Well fine burger said squash
What is that?
How do you pronounce that?
It's not a real mesh form for you.
I can't pronounce that.
Glova is a real vegetable.
You take a glova, which don't think it's a fruit, unfortunately.
But I can really answer, is it squash?
So if I were to start it, they'd come back bit with a correct answer.
And it's probably 47.
Let's go to our next fashion spot.
What fashion and location is this?
Did you break any blocks?
I did not modify any blocks.
I think one word to get this from there.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
I'm gonna get it wrong.
Come on.
Alright. Well, fine-burner.
Would you like to say your answer?
Great shots.
Alright. And Hacking Noise is said,
Bottom Treasure Treasure.
Now, it's washed.
Yeah.
I don't think it's chalice, right?
Cause it's this.
Oh, you know what I mean.
I just like, yeah, I forgot.
There's a key here.
We have the other thing that I need.
Fine-burner did say,
I think even Ludwig could get this right.
So it is indeed the bottom treasure gold blocks.
Yeah.
I don't know how to do this.
I don't know how to actually be broke even if I looked at this like blocks on the side
and I was like, that's interestingly close, but where else is there a gold blocks
exposed ever at?
I don't know.
So, I don't know.
No, I thought it was very just like first got into the state window.
That's the point.
It's kind of this thing and I just didn't pick up.
I don't know how to do that.
How do you want to?
I did.
I'd be fine, Marigie, yet again.
Truthful.
All right, here's the next vegetable.
I think I'm legit doing better at the vegetables than I'm about.
All right, both of you have submitted an answer and both of you have said bell pepper.
The answer is indeed bell pepper, so both of you have got that correct.
I went to this one on door to ask.
What?
I went to this one on door to ask before.
Oh, you just looked at bell peppers on door to ask.
Well, we've been a couple months.
All right, well, here's the next fashion spot.
All right, so both of you put stables,
Hacks of back-and-stables could get left-side.
But it might actually, it's actually behind-gap, I think.
Five weeks at Stable's Bad Gap Back-Fad.
And the answer is, in fact, Stable's Bad Gap Back-side.
Hacks, unfortunately, I'm gonna have to get over here with your ridden answer.
I know you corrected it.
Okay, I'm gonna run out.
And time, while I will be giving fun of two points for that,
I will be giving Hacken Moses one point.
And that puts the score at eight for Fyingburg to 12 for Hacking noises.
And here's our next vegetable.
all right, both players have submitted if you guys feel free if I break to say your answer and
hacks to say your answer.
Oh, a title.
I said cucumber.
I always thought to be because it's the more out of the box one.
I don't know what their difference is.
Wow.
It's a fit.
Another 50-50 it seems and Fondra wins this one.
I don't care what you're waiting for, you're waiting for me.
Here's the next bastion spot.
I will need to push you both for an answer here.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on, I can't wait.
All right, access to an adventure.
Fondra is typing.
Yeah, there we go.
All right.
Fondra can ask what you were counting here.
What would you see that they'd be count?
Well, the pixel's just so much happening.
OK, you can.
Pixel's treasure.
Good strategy.
Tax, what have you put?
I said it's the left rampart and housing in the middle area.
I'm like going down.
All right.
And find out what have you put?
Spam idea about bridge and stuff.
All right.
Down a bridge rampart.
But I think maybe Alex is very concerned,
because it seems really crap.
It's very British.
Well, if I'm a U.R. correct in that haxist's right,
it is a housing left rampart hallway staircase thing.
I looked it up on the wiki and I was the official name.
We're on that area of it.
Yes, of course.
The packing noises.
We have a vegetable here.
And I believe this is the last vegetable of the day.
And tell you what, I will give you guys four points if you get this.
Honestly, I could give you a point if you've even either of you a part of it.
Actually, you probably heard it.
I can tell.
I had to resolve.
No, no, no, no, no.
I saw a funny meme, it was like a mini-head, anyway.
Okay, well both of you want to go in and say your answer is here.
I said star vegetable.
Yes, star fruit.
Yeah, so, the actual logic of, you know,
there's a star fruit, there must be a star vegetable.
All right, well, I can reveal the answer is in Ocarot,
and have the other number of Ocarot before.
I've heard the word, I wouldn't be able to tell you
Yeah, I would have been not be able to do whatever's in the world.
I don't think I've ever eaten any of these.
Here is the next basting part.
All right, Hacks have submitted their answer.
And finally, I'll need a push-up for one here.
All right.
So both of you have put treasure of action.
And both of you, trying to put on the side of the bridge area,
area or under the lava mode, those are both acceptable answers. I say sagahabraj area,
so that is 2.4. Each of you, here is the actual last vegetable of the day.
Pax, I want to push your furniture here.
Okay, well, a hacks has put the very tasty free potato carrot,
all one word.
And then if I'm gonna say Kara and all caps immediately and then Derek, Kara, Kara, Kara, Kara, Cara, Kara, Kara, Kara, Kara, Kara, Kara, Kara, Kara, Kara, Kara, Kara, Kara, Kara, Kara, Kara, Kara.
Kara is a poor price, though.
I'm very committed to Kara and while does these are just all the
monorns Kara. Well done to both of you, I guess, only half a pack is a
more than 500. This is indeed a parsnip. So, that's zero points.
All right.
Well, that is the last round. So let's tally up the points five break. You have 12 total points and what I will say
You had no partial points
Yeah, you did indeed. I'm 12 in the middle packing noises. You got
16 points
for a dominant victory
Congratulations packing noises. All right. Well, thank you both for playing good luck in your match. Fine, very good. You're looking to match specifically hacks. Good luck in your second round match that you'll be playing
and
guys
I think we need to add something to media training. I think we're adding a vegetable section to media training.
A vegetable training.
I think that's what we need. I think we need vegetable training.
Yeah, so those are hard. I didn't get all of them. I don't think I'm going to help me.
Some of them were kind of like, okay. I've never had a crib before, you know?
I play tested that for Poundy and what I thought when the Ocar came up is it kind of looked like one of those like worm on a string things
That wasn't a set of plants. I got through that string. Yeah, look like a
Thing like it looks like a worm on a string
So you just put like some like a no there
Okay, and I got a big nose
Anyway, don't worry no more vegetables when we mentioned during the ensues are I brought death
We're heading into a match between two of the brightest minds
we have to offer here.
Fineburg, best day player of all time,
arguably the best shooter of all time.
First, hacks, arguably the current best shooter of all time.
Pretty good, defending champion these two have history.
I mean, what stands out to your Parker?
There's so much to look at, both of these have,
well, these players have an incredibly story history in the game.
Yeah, I think the things to stand out
are just really impressive achievements
we see like lots of winners, world record holders,
You know, hacks, six time playoffs, top three,
you know, he's consistently just up there.
Even people who have one more than him,
like do got a low key, like, and they don't,
they don't always make it to the top three,
you know, hacks are just always there.
I, I don't know, just everything about it.
I, I, I, I, I look at these stats for a long time,
lots of impressive things to look at.
Yeah, I mean, it is crazy.
I think the thing that surprises me the most,
and I think some people who are like super into the scene
know this, hacks qualified for the season of playoffs,
but I basically do anything besides playing
like what the last like four days or so of playoffs and then I guess rank one qualifies
for the bracket off of just hitting rank one and is now here and made it, made it through
didn't have to play LCQ and is here to defend his title and also I think it is probably the most
impressive thing on anyone's player card. I think six times in a row playoff top three is just like
it is just like unfathomable to have that much consistency especially when
hack started, he wasn't even known for his consistency. It was like, we such a street
by a really high peak, but has just always performed in ranked class. And that is going
to be a pretty tough order for a fine break to crack today.
Yeah, I'm very interested to see if, like, just, it feels like hacks can almost lock in
whenever he wants to seemingly, like, just having not played at all. I know we've had people
people like silver who are grinding all week and really want this and hacks. It just feels like
like he's like, I just haven't really played all season.
Let me just get rank one real quick with all these new giants
and you're like, ECR and infumen.
And then he just qualifies, did he literally even have
face point before the last phase?
I, if you were asking me, I'm gonna look it up really quickly.
I'm pretty sure the answer is no.
I'm pretty sure the answer was no that was not the case.
I'm looking at these points.
No, they didn't have a couple.
They didn't have a couple.
It's been a couple, like, not anything major.
Got four phase points in phase three, legitimately
four plenty of phase points in phase three.
So, that kind of locked in after that.
And is now in a great spot again, 75% winner rate
on shipwreck.
That's pretty good.
I mean, both of these winners know, again,
we're talking a lot about actually
you're very consistent in ranks.
I think has two very different play styles here.
It's crazy because when five or two came on
to the scene back in like 1983,
He was known as like the mechanical guy.
Like he was the mechanical guy in the scene.
And I think now, Fimer is so methodical
in his thought process.
It's like really impressive the way that he thinks
about every situation and his is used to playing so many
absurd worlds and things from playing all events
over the years.
So I'm really interested to see the play style difference.
But I mean, the thing that jumps out to me Parker
is their ruin portal seed almost the exact same average.
That's really impressive from Bimbabwe to keep up the pace of that.
Yeah, at a top speed, that's an impressive thing to note.
Like, Fimbabwe, it's not like, this is no wash.
You know, Fimbabwe, he was like, number two,
for a large chunk of last season,
for a couple of phases, he's been up there.
You know, it's easy to think of Fimbabwe,
especially because he had some breaks in a couple of seasons,
is like, all the sky doesn't play anymore.
He just plays AA, that's old Fimbabwe.
He's here.
You know what's up to do with zeros?
Maybe he's not like the best zeroer in the world,
but he's probably better than me at zero.
He can hit all the zero,
he can he has these top speeds.
I wanna see, I wanna see a clean match here.
I think both these players not gonna die.
It's gonna be Santa.
That's my prediction, cinema.
And we have a double ocean band, Parker.
No ocean, we're going village into either,
into a desert temple and ruined rural affords.
So no ocean until game four at the earliest.
This is gonna be a really interesting set
of really unique matchup here.
If I'm only five people who are another right right now
has hacked even cute in season 10.
I think has 15 right now has only played 24 games this season.
19 wins for losses.
Pretty good, pretty good I would say.
But not, not the right yet.
Fimer is one of five very interesting to see how this match up goes.
I know a lot of people are as well.
Obviously, Fimer, a huge fame in the scene right now,
and makes as well.
Like, these are two huge fan favorites,
a huge fan base is supporting them.
And one of them, unfortunately,
is going home within the next hour or so Parker.
It's a little bit sad.
Yeah, that is the unfortunate thing
about having so many people to root for
and so many good players.
Regardless, you're just gonna lose.
People are gonna drop out of this one line.
Even around 16, there's some, there's some potato names that could win the entire thing that are just going to be out and no so we village curry. It's another sad day. Yeah, we're going to have to call the we're going to have to call some people. That's just unacceptable for the honest, but another diamond pig seed. You know, a lot of these today, immediately here, immediately also seeing a difference in play.
If I'm going to immediately dealing with the
blacksmith, hacks heading to the goal
on the craft and do everything else.
So you're just saying to see that haven't seen
a lava pool yet, but hacks the craft in
just otherworldly and it's going to be killing
a goal in here soon as find where you get
tables.
Yeah, I know hacks has a lot of apples from
some of this chest, or maybe he gets slightly
less bread than fineburg.
Maybe there's a difference in there.
But like you're saying, hacks kind of lights out
with his crafting here.
You know, these two players, mechanical demons.
I like Finder's play getting four beds here.
You know, sometimes on village seeds,
you might not get enough trades
and having extra beds for a potential double blaze bed
or harder zeros can be really beneficial.
Maximly as one bed, fine has four, I think.
Yeah, I've hammered,
probably going through the whole hotel there.
I think, again, so many we're gonna see
is just the variance plays of Finder and Haxley.
Finder playing for a little bit more consistency,
Tax may be playing for a little bit more high speed
pace on this seed.
I mean, again, it's just the playoff styles
for both of these runners really interesting
to see the lava pools right here.
It's going to be a fast enter
because of not having any colder goal
and just getting everything from the blacksmith.
And both players building their portal
exactly the same time.
Yeah, I think fine, you made up some time getting gravel,
potentially, in hacks.
First mistake from hacks here,
letting the lava spill over,
or water spill over as lava,
You know, not the end of the world, he sells a lot accessible, but finds it
mean first with the same quality as what I think just barely this terrain is
a little bit awkward here, having to go through the workforce, the immediately switching
the pipe or find word, not seeing a lot, not a lot of sightlines just in general here.
It's going to be a stable smash.
I think is that another double triple, it is, I think we're going to see another double
triple route.
No fortress yet, but these players are dead even pretty much heading in.
five or maybe a second ahead to this first triple.
Yeah, I'll be interested to see if either of these players
plays a triple to gap.
I feel like if you're fine, you're playing double triple
here just because you're scared of hacks as speed.
You don't want to lose any time.
On hacks, that's how it is though.
Immediately, misplaced is the one.
It's caught out by two sword piglins.
And Fimerg is going to notice that really quickly.
The advancements are going to start to flood in.
There's a shiny for Fimerg.
He's going to notice that Hacks is not going to get that yet.
Now, it is early enough for the seed.
The terrain isn't that bad.
Hacks does not have to bring that much back
through to the Nether, but Parker.
That is a death sentence in playoffs.
Fineburg is in the driver's seat now for this whole first seed.
And that's a huge confidence moves to go up one hour
against Hacks that that's the play.
And yeah, the best.
That's the best.
Perfect.
Incredible.
32, nonetheless.
That's like way more than I thought.
You're going to take in some damage here.
This is, this is not looking great for hacks, you know?
Start off on a bit of a bad note,
find you to be like, fine for sure,
if there's any player who's looking at advancements
and meta gaming, it's going to be fine bird.
Fine bird knows something went wrong with hacks here.
And so maybe that changes how he plays here.
Maybe if he doesn't have enough resources,
he'll even go down and get some more gold,
potentially taking less aggressive pearls,
but look at that, oh my gosh, it's a whole server.
But for hacks as well,
try to play for the variants of getting the,
This is so weird for me.
Oh my god.
It's so big.
I have to make like nothing like it's
has to break this with literally.
This is because this piglet is just stuck here.
Wasn't it?
I'm going to get gilded in the outside chest.
Has to break this block to open the actual chest.
Get to armor.
But now has to break through this all with his fist has
armor now at least.
But I mean, if I'm or is out, if I'm or is out, wow.
I mean, just really awkward from hats there.
You know, the fashion wasn't the farthest that it could be,
but it's so dangerous going back into get his stuff
when you have no gold armor to distract or get resources like,
it's just, it's so bad.
And suddenly, fine bird's gonna need a major mistake here,
for hacks, even have a chance.
I mean, I like a, a, a, a has to just be a death.
Like this is, this is, this is really like,
not having to go for zero territory here.
But again, the nerves for both of these runners
like, cannot be understated.
Like, find mentioned earlier.
And he was even talking to us, like, behind the scenes
when we were on the starting scene screen,
like the dude did not sleep a lot last night.
Like, was really thinking about this match,
really in his head.
And I'm sure Hacks is the same way.
Both these players know how much playoffs means
to them, knows what they're playing for,
and really want to be able to pull this out on top,
Hacks try to do everything he can to get back
in this game by Fimer, already two rods,
another spawn, 20, hobby.
The one silver lining for Hacks is 15 pearls right now
for Fimer, but I mean, he knows that.
like it's not, it actually is going to be the same situation.
Yeah, exactly.
Unless Hacks trades more gold, it's going to, yeah, you're exactly right.
Find building this portal, low five minutes.
He has the extra beds when the village he has an anchor, five extra beds he's
crafting down.
He can do a bow.
He's just fully set only thing missing is potentially gold picks, but as long as it's
not like an insane second portal, it just won't even matter.
Yep, no chance of getting cave anymore.
out all get to go clear sight for this eye measurement, clean reading,
hacks still trading gold, 13 pearls though. How is hacks on 13 pearls?
Oh, because the pearl hang got flying to 16. So he's going to get one more
portrait is on 18, because 500 through more aggressive pearls in the
bash and itself. So fine, or so hacks excuse me, can pearl a little bit more
this fort maybe, but fire just needs a couple more rods, we don't know how far
the strong with this. Like maybe it does matter a little bit more than we think, but I
still think even just the pearls there, hack is going to need something else to go wrong
for flying here, maybe a bad stronghold or an unzeroable end. Oh, look at these
straight from hacks. So that's six blazes for hacks. And I mean,
Bimerick's heading towards, but I, that's, I mean, if you're going to
hope for anything on the as a hack span, you're hoping for a
hack for this for Rod so far, I find my, I mean, W strip right is
trying to make this closer. Fimerick's in the stronghold, though, right now.
It's going to do a lot more than just six straight to get hacks back in this
game. Fimerick has this fight, knows he's ahead by a lot, but also knows
at this point, it's not fully in, like it's not gonna be able
to just play for a perch or anything like that.
You don't wanna go for the zero.
Has everything he needs?
What is this zero though?
Is it gonna be something where it's good?
It's good.
Has six pros though, because it was like,
what, a four eye Parker?
Oh my goodness, doesn't he?
Yeah.
Out, back to zero.
Not the easiest.
A 12 zero is gonna have to eat here.
Only gonna be able to go to 90.
Has to block lunch perfectly.
Does going to be able to get to 90 the blocks are weird should be fine at 90.
A pretty low chance of the dragon flying here.
And it doesn't stays plenty of beds.
You can pull.
Great beds there.
One more rotation potentially.
Not enough to barely just doesn't matter.
Wow.
And that's a low eight for fiber to start as hacks.
Heads to cords.
matter. And Fimer takes a huge, cannot be
understated, huge one-o-lead on Hax here, the
defending champion from season eight.
What a crazy first. That's, that's got to be great for the mental, you know,
huge confidence boost, a solid time, eight minutes flat,
and I was just just the death from Hax. That was the main decision maker.
Yeah, I mean, it was such a five. Hax made up 20 seconds of
finding stronghold there immediately just from the
That was absurd, but the thing there is tax place so
Like so quick, like so unbelievably click in the sense of like what happened there for the death was he just
Got caught out by a sword pigland tried to block up twice with the knockback from the pig
I think made it so that he got
Hit and then the block blocked off his path and then it's just you're just cooked. You're just cooked in that situation. So I
I mean, that's an 802 for Fymburg.
Hacks can absolutely bounce back and then we see them do it before, but not the situation
you want to start with here.
And you don't want Fymburg to get confidence.
You don't want Fymburg to get confidence.
Yeah, Fymburg plays a little bit better when he's a little bit more confident in the
driver's seat.
Maybe maybe I'm just making things up.
But I like that Hacks is running it back here.
He got the same hotel that Fymburg did just a little bit later.
You don't have to do a death reset for that.
But I love seeing the bed play, you know, to get the extra blocks, I'm always a fan of creativity.
We'll see if we see any more of that in these coming matches.
Absolutely. That was a pretty funky seed. Like we've seen a lot of double-tripples
tables today. It's been cool to see the players rallying that and handling that.
And the villagers have been kind of crazy too. And I'm just excited because we are not going to ocean.
I don't want to see anything that's played with the ocean. I don't want to see ruined portal.
I think one billion dollars has to do it for a year. There it is.
And that means the game 3 is guaranteed to be tempo, which is also awesome.
So, Hacks really wants to win this room portal, and we really want to see a fast speed here.
It Hacks wants to get the confidence back.
I totally agree. If I'm not mistaken, I think Hacks is the fastest ever completion in playoffs,
and I think it was a room portal. I might have made something like a low set.
So I think Hacks is like a 628 or something, and Hacks has also had like,
Hacks has had some absurd ruin portal
paces in place before like he's been in the stronghold like low or like just some like absurd absurd things that Hacks has done
So excited to see what's going on here on this room for C, but again
You don't know it's gonna be completeable with even a city and it might be a bucket completion and might be whatever like we don't know
But that's definitely what Hacks is banking for banking on the linearity banking on less decision making more speed
Let me crank a time that Fimer can't even fathom,
and we'll see what happens in this matchup.
But again, Fimer with a day I've just got to feel good as well.
I totally agree.
It's gonna be the difference between Fimer's
to re-brill decision-making and haxes like Ross.
There's that word.
The child won't let him go.
I know you're a big fan.
I listen, they bully me out of saying to re-brill.
I think it's a great word.
I think it's a great word.
I'm kind of low-key, but it's like, it's a good word.
It's a great word.
Yeah.
really does, like, there's just the different play styles
like when you're in the community, you see it, you see it.
Like there's a different play style, the someone like hacks
or a low key compared to someone like a fine burger and infium
or a monkey.
And it's so cool to see when they're paired up against each other
and seeing how they handle the same seed just differently.
And fine burger, of course.
Oh, my God.
I know that the shot is gonna be on the screen.
We can blame infium for that one.
The reference.
And this looks fast.
This is fast, I don't know what our food situation is
be looking like I think there's a sheep off knit. No, three pigs. That's pretty solid.
Find where going off to the left though, maybe not going to be getting the food in the same way.
I think this is just bad from finding to be losing a couple of seconds, which could matter,
especially in such a fast seat. Yeah, I mean, that is huge. Only four pork from three pigs.
Interesting to see that hacks didn't force anymore. Just deciding to say with the four
pork, I guess the other pigs kind of wanted a little bit far. So I guess it makes a little bit
a bit of sense here, wants to probably play this as fast as possible, has so much stuff,
everything you need entering at like the 50 second mark, headed to kind of what this
another is though, not sure what framework is going to be able to do here, it'll be 10 seconds
or so behind another war far as and not an immediate bastion. So nothing too crazy yet.
Yeah, I don't think we're going to see a rank world record time, but I mean, we could have that was a
a very, very fast enter, fine.
Just literally 10, 15 seconds behind.
I think just for that decision
to go farther left and get trees
that were more out of the way
and having to wrap around back to the pigs.
They have the same amount of food,
but I mean, they're just in completely different violence here.
I really like this play from Hacks
and immediately crafting noticing
that it's bridge taking the gold block
from the ruined portal
and immediately making helmet gold pickaxe.
Just immediately no second thought, no hesitation.
Fimer doing something a little bit similar here
with the same gold, a helmet gold pick craft,
but hacks still here,
sizeably early, we're gonna see a right side triple route
from both runners is that's the only triple
that exists on this bastion
and no fortress yet for either runner.
So we'll see how that ends up shaping out.
Pretty decent looking terrain though, you know,
depending on where we need to go,
we should be able to get there fine.
Hoglins, not messy.
He has, oh, but his jump messed up.
He's fine, he's saved.
I'll say low health partner down some lower hearts not regenerate right now. This could get really scary. He gets hit twice. He's dead
the sighting not to break a gold block yet does now get hit immediately. It's one hit but catch the eat off
not even going to auto funnel
Just barely surviving there. Wow, and fine. So fine makes up time here plays the route a little bit more cleanly
He might have even played just like regular rights IDK. I wasn't washing entirely
Not only makes up time Parker, but the food difference is gonna start to become really substantial
Now we do have the two hoglins on the bridge, but it's a time loss to get them if we have to both runners have an
Insane amount of piglins training, so that's not like we have a lot of time to overlap in general
Facts are gonna be down to two compared to five birds three and a full pork shop lead is the difference between
we're using hungry setting and none of the fortory.
That can be a huge difference later on this seat.
100% we got double blades of the craft.
For hacks here, find now just learning where the fortress is.
Looks like it's going to be pause pause for both runners.
Find checking his trades but hacks has a pearl hay.
I like his situation a little bit better.
I mean, wow that was quick.
And find three, one four for hacks.
Oh my gosh, this is a fast seat.
I mean, this is what we were hoping for with a ruin portal
and find where it's still just kind of bleeding time here,
not having the pearl hang off,
sorting his inventory a little bit more than hacked,
maybe just the mechanics coming into play there
and not being able to deal with all of the things
that you need to do in a,
and we're just saying, okay, it's got to getting fired
because hacks as 20 obvious.
So it's got to getting fired in the fine break job.
I was like, oh my god, wait, this is a talking point.
I need to say that hacks as 60 W.
No, we have 20.
So, nice try, but it's okay.
Hacks in the fort now at the spawner,
two rods, I think so far.
Find where you're not at the spawner,
just yet double blaze bed off for Hacks.
If I were gonna do that soon,
but I mean, this is a lightning fast seed
Hacks in the position that he wanted
to be one picking room portal.
Yeah, you don't even need to craft an iron axe
or anything better,
because we got a mending on our axe here.
You can kill blaze the slightly faster
with a gold axe, we've got the double blaze
that off from both of these players,
blinding at 430.
Look at the player inventory.
How does Fimer can five rods compare
to Hax's three entered some of that later?
Absolutely, cranks, crazy.
I guess that we've completely missed.
I mean, there's a 430 block.
This is sub 30, or sub 30, or sub 30,
I'd hope so.
Sub 30, for the runners here.
I mean, the pre-craft is off from fine.
Pies blazes the kill when he comes back
hurl onto a second spawner on the side of findberg and this looks like
This is a huge
And it does so hacks doesn't need to wait for another
spawn cycle which is what findberg needed hacks out so he saves up some time there
bridging now needs to be building his portal at mid five minutes sub five. I mean this is this is sub six 30
face if he that was a quick enough. This give me a new fastest time and rank. This is crazy in the stronghold immediately. No spike yet. It's something behind. How do we get there?
On the aircraft here a 500 already has the pre-cuff but has to dig down with the gold picks. Not as clean of a line as hacks took and this
Now looks pretty straightforward. This is quick. The portal room should be down here for hacks. It is past the hungry set weird spot getting hit by
Soarfish down to one, but it is gonna be able to get in the spot. Fine has to build up, but it doesn't matter because hacks has hungry set
Building or excuse me putting in all the eyes now has everything he needs and Parker. He just wants to hit the zero to tie the set one to one
And it's open
back front dragon. This should be a free zero. He can push out. He can push ninety nine
I think he has a good amount of explosives, it should be one of the one that is a lightning fast seed though it is sub seven
I don't know how many sub seven's have been and there's really a really weird now
Packs has one of explosives and 20 for two oh this is this is actually really bad
He should get a good double bet off here. He's only has more explosive
I this has to be a this is I do it. Oh
My god, oh
That's like a tick perfect anchor that I can't believe you killed the dragon.
Oh my god. Oh my goodness. That is going to be a sub seven for Hax.
Like a six 40. Wow. Lee maybe. That is a crazy time.
And he's excited. Look at the camera. He excited. That's what he does.
That's what he does. And Hax's number one thing in the left. He loves the camera shape.
What? I mean, this I really don't think he splits down the story.
Fine, really caught his way back, he didn't close a great play in the forces, but I think it just
breaks from the one spawn of the Hacks to play and made it so that whatever crazy play
fine they did not end a matter too much and then throwing the wrong way in the strong
really sealed the deal for him, allowed Hacks to barely get off that zero and plushes out
with a crazy time.
Yeah, for a second there, I wasn't sure if Hacks was going to make it, I thought maybe
You can get after you some crazy chase down stuff,
but he's just got this timing's down.
I think you're totally right with that analysis,
the difference in spawners,
and then just going the wrong way in the stronghold.
Find Bergs not out of the running yet.
It's now tied up one one.
This is what we like to see as commentators.
A close match, but he thinks he's going to win the next one.
Oh, dude.
I don't know.
No bias commentary here.
I really love to see fine-taker.
I really like to see fine-taker.
I like hacks.
Listen, you won last season relax.
Okay, buddy, like let's get some other people in here.
Let's read, let's read it around, like, come on.
But I mean, I just wanna keep seeing good games like this,
like these two games have been crazy so far.
I don't wanna see Hacks die again.
I don't wanna see Fimer die again.
I wanna see these players make crazy plays,
push the pace, and let's get a game five.
We got two games five to five.
We get one game five, come on.
That's just crazy, it's just crazy.
Anyway, before we get into this match,
we're gonna go to a game for eventually, don't worry.
But we want to show you some full them analysis.
These talk the whole thing's not yet, actually actually I'm like,
what we're going to call the analysis of our life, you have us a second.
Okay, it's a tough job running production here.
So we'll go to full them in a moment here.
But yeah, this has been a crazy match up so far between five
work and hacks.
I mean, we're going to head to temple.
I mean, if there's anything close to a home court parker,
it's fiber going temple.
What do you think hacks can do on that to kind of even the, even the odds?
I just don't think the home court advantage is that significant maybe like a mental thing my bolt players are playing like a lot a lot of rank. I mean, I guess hacks hasn't been playing a ton of rank, but
I don't really know what I am interested in is has anybody won playoffs back to back?
No, never happened. No, right? It's always been like
Do it live in 7 and Loki is one two four and six. Okay. Okay, so it's hacks wins. This is that'll be the first time
We're back to back repeating.
We'll see if you can do it.
I mean, we have ways to go.
He's got to get past Mr. Berg for us.
Yeah.
Oh, wait.
It's to go.
But anyway, full of him is not ready.
Got everything ready for us.
Enjoy this full of analysis in this fine-berg and hacks match up.
Let us look at those first two seeds from Finder versus Hacks.
And I think the first seed was really summed up by just one simple moment, and that moment
of course came in the very first few minutes of the seed whereby Hacking Noise was running
up the bastion, and unfortunately did take a very early death, you know, piglin right
there, try to block behind, unfortunately not able to get past them while staying alive.
a death just by the fact that there was two angry sword pigs there and decided not to go above
here, which is something that I was kind of surprised to see, rather than taking the top terrain
after he had already blocked these guys off here, taking the top terrain, going around the
bastion and looting the chest above. Instead, we've decided to kind of double back after
the regenting for just a second and try and build up and through to get to our chest.
This really ended up not being the best play, obviously taking the death to Sword Pigland
going to cause him to die.
Now one thing in that last seed, however, was I know that the comment deck was very
perplexed as to how Finder was able to make back so much of the time in that seed, obviously.
Very difficult for just two people to be looking at two screens at once trying to take
all that information. That's what I'm here for. Hey, the British guy has to do something in the
commentary for every single esports. So let me talk about exactly how Fimbag was able to make
back some of that time. Notice, mostly on Fimbag screen here, he pans a pearl towards the spawner
that he notices in this direction. And then as soon as that pearl is hung, he's heading towards
the spawner over here. Luckily runs into one extra straight, but by coming up to the spawner
on his left here, he's able to force spawn the first cycle on this place spawner. Getting those
two blazes allowed him to take the advantage from hacks, who was already on three blaze rods here.
Up to the point where when Fime was blind, sorry, when Hax was blinding, Fimeberg is already at five. Now
that gave him a lot of comeback potential.
However, given the fact that Hacks had already done his measuring split,
it did end up that fine was in the end second,
did make it to the stronghold behind Hacks and looking at Hacks is zero.
It was a little bit of a close one.
This first, this first explosion here,
as you can see, the arrow did not in fact hit the dragon.
The arrow goes underneath the dragon's hitbox
goes pretty much straight through does not hit the dragon and that means because it was a
late bed the dragon is going to fly very high here. Hacks weights for a whole two rotations
detonates this one early to bring the dragon's height back down to something that's more manageable
but the problem with that comes when he has low explosives remaining and of course he is able to
get there with that amazing last two explosives basically taking out half of the dragon's health
with a really, really nice anchor. Of course, have the arrows preparing to do the chase down,
but hacks able to finish out seed number two, throwing it into a one-all situation. We're going
to get at least four seeds here. If we get five, it'll be an amazing cinema moment, but in a way,
I'm going to send you guys back to Currie and Recrap right now so that we can see our next seed.
Thank you so much full of. I mean, this has been quite the set so far as we've seen one, one, five
million hacks to crowd favorites going up against each other. Parker, I'm putting you on the spot.
I don't know who's just winning this next game. Who's waiting this set right now? Who's
waiting this set? He's winning this set, right between Findergannacks, between Findergannacks,
I'll be a hackspin.
Rave pick, really brave there.
Going, going above and beyond.
Perhaps low seed, low seed.
But I think I'm hoping for the upsets.
And my bracket I pick hacks, but then I realize.
Wait, I want, I kind of want.
I can win.
Okay, I thought you would win.
I also want hacks to win.
I do like both.
Yes.
I think they're both well people.
I'm going to pick hacks game five.
It's going to happen.
We're going to be on them.
That's what I'm excited about.
But before we get there, fiber cost to win this C300 does a couple.
That's really what has to happen.
It would be a crazy comeback if you lose as this does with Temple Seed and then it wins
the next two.
We could see what's going on.
But if fiber is going to make a run for this, he really has to win this as a couple.
100%.
I want to see him.
I want to see him.
I want to see him.
Find take this.
Then hack take the next one.
And then our game five is just going to be the most cinema or a film the craziest game
of all time. Sorry, I kind of least is scripted. I didn't mean to do that. It'll be crazy.
I mean, does it sample again a seed type, obviously, by the way, familiar with, but
hacks, you play these all the time right, like, especially nowadays where every seed type is 20%
it's not like how it used to be, where it was like, oh, from 410 Deserts 5 or whatever it was,
like, these runners are all very comfortable playing these seed types. We're going to see that right
right now as we hop into this seed, the both of them again,
immediate things.
Wow, but he's the one quarter as well, did you see that?
No, I didn't, but I fully trust that one there.
Yeah.
This is gonna be a fast, that's a temple seed.
I mean, we were spawning on it.
I didn't see any lava or water,
but if there's lava and water,
this could be, you know, potential for desert temple
world record seed, you know?
I ain't never know.
Another diamond pickaxe though.
This is, wow, that's fine, I'm gonna row.
This is, yeah, it's actually been crazy how many,
I think I actually have seen so far.
Looks like heading up,
ruin portal to the left,
hacks did see it.
Why am I seeing this wall?
Looks like the lava pool is pretty close to that as well.
If I weren't having to wait to get the pressure plate back,
well, reob be a bunch of iron.
Kind of interesting,
like, what to do with all the materials from this ruin portal.
Hacks also gonna go for the double tree here.
I really like how Hacks is playing this over a convertible
I think much more linear of a situation for him.
I totally agree, checking the ruin portal,
slightly faster, only blowing up TNT once
as opposed to fine bricks twice.
The two different trees, he's got his water already.
Fine brick is at the ruin portal,
but doesn't have the water.
So Hacks is going to be built.
Oh my God, that was crazy.
That was crazy.
Careful.
And find, I guess, fine brick didn't see the same water
that Hacks go, gets another go.
Oh, that's okay.
So he's going to be behind here by about
10 seconds. This is not what you want if you're fine, Bert. No, not all except some terrain on the
bash and take some different decisions. It's not a super linear scene. We haven't spawned on the
bash and hacks looking around. I think solve a few days before. Yeah, 100% solved for it. So I mean,
Crimson here is nice though because we're only playing up 13 rotten flesh. So we could see
something where maybe one player goes for a hog or maybe the just spawns in their path and that
can be a big difference maker to see the decisions that they make if that situation is
presented to him.
Hoglin for Hacks decides not to go for it, only down to nine rotten flesh already for
the rest of this entire seed.
And this is not the most linear seed partner like, yeah, we saw the orp, but this treasure
is bar for Hacks.
That's easy.
Pretty much all the blocks.
Hoglin for a five-berg as well.
You're going to decide to not go for it as well, but has, oh my gosh, sorry, yeah, we
I'm just going to put it right.
I've ever hacks it over that same section,
did a little bit of voting.
But I think fineberg has been taking this terrain
a lot better.
We're talking about decision-making versus speed here.
I think fineberg was just a little bit more direct to the...
Oh!
Oh no, oh no, oh no!
Oh, that's a disaster.
I mean, this is the exact thing that was pretty much
reversed in game one, right?
like, pre-bashed in bashing death into, I mean,
hacks as a free line now.
He's been in realizing like 20 seconds, wait a minute.
Why isn't Fimer here yet?
And that is just huge.
That is just cool.
And I mean, the only thing in favor of Fimer right now
is I guess like, it's a low food seed.
Maybe like, it is a real hell of a food.
Eight rotten flesh left.
But I think somebody have hacks this caliber
who in the last playhouse, I think played an entire seed
without getting any food.
the inf human grand finals, you know, he can handle the low food seeds.
How did he lose the gold block there?
I think it lost the gold block there.
I mean, it's treasure though.
And with this, you need, like, you just go bottom, you could do whatever.
Like, that's just so tough for fine.
Not getting the blocklet job.
Not getting a boat off anywhere.
And is now at a point where we kind of got to kind of got to find some play.
I like the idea of like, maybe the line is like,
like, I'm gonna spend time getting food
and try and pearl really aggressively
and like over the hacks dies or something.
Like maybe that's the line.
Doesn't seem like that's what finds going for.
It's hard to imagine what's going through his head
in this moment, but a ton of hobby on the side of hacks
should be heading to the fort relatively soon,
but again, it's really gonna come down to
can he make this work on six rod and flesh?
Yeah, I remember fine talking the other day
about potentially sending a one eye or a two eye.
There's potential there to make up time,
But I don't think he was really liking that line.
So I don't think we're going to be seeing any crazy plays from that.
We're just going to need a mistake from hacks, I think.
Here.
Yeah, I mean, maybe, oh, this is a different fort, I think, for hacks.
It's a complete, different one that's closer.
Very nice for him.
If I'm going to probably see this as well.
But again, we are down to two on flesh.
We're on six hearts.
No hoglin' insight.
It's going to be, it's going to be weird.
It's going to be weird.
I mean, obviously, again, like you said,
He's runnin' as we use to play in for low food,
but if there is a line for fibers to get back in,
that is it.
That's why I keep mention it.
That is pretty much the only line for fiber to get back
is something happens with access to the situation.
Yeah, it's gonna have to be something drastic
because soon he knew we're gonna get hacks blinding,
he can't agree.
Honestly, probably won't even hungry set.
He's on, he's on seven, seven rockets.
Did he actually make a fishing rod?
Yes.
Yes.
Those are in the nine slot.
Or a.
Oh, yes.
This is that, that's the greatest.
I've never made a fishing rod in a speedrun,
and I feel like I should.
I remember Mongi doing it like that.
Two of them, oh my gosh.
It's just the coolest thing.
And it's like a little bit weird.
That flung in the place so far.
I'd like to imagine that Hacks knows that he's ahead
by three minutes and was like, you know what?
I'm pulling this out.
I'm just like, just like your own play.
It's not a way to whip up the fishing rod.
Let's try something here, let's see what we can do.
I like that Hacks.
Hacks, I think is one of the best runners.
If I ever get as good at this as well,
but really putting on a show when they're in the game.
You know what I mean?
Well, we'll get the mouse movements.
We'll get some F5 action.
You know, why not throw a fishing rod in there?
Why not?
I totally agree?
Why not?
You know, you can even do like a boat fishing rod combo,
fishing rod that lays into the boat,
be extra fancy.
Pretty solid pace here too,
where you need to see a pre-craft,
three-bed, four-anker,
should be very chill.
Look at that, look at that, crafting.
Sorry, three-anker.
I mean, it has four blazes here, but I'm just still mining gold, the bridge out.
Hacks has so many blazed on a string four strays on the four way, you can just head to
that if he needs to.
I don't know how to steal a thing.
Fineburg's mouse movement, such as so fast, I feel like he's, he really wants to make
up time here.
I just, I don't know what the line is, you know, we've seen some awful strongholds before.
You can strongholds are the thing with the most variance at top of a play.
It's a thing that can give the biggest upset.
And we're going to need that.
But Hacks is on 10, 10 eyes here.
He needs one more.
Oh, okay.
Fishing rod.
Look at him go.
He's just great.
He's actually great.
He's carving the shot.
This is crazy.
That's the rod.
Leave in.
There we go, Anne.
Hopefully it doesn't put from too much.
I remember in the last season he tried to go for like a one rotation zero or like a two rotation
messed it up and almost like a lot else to keep or something yes, that was an L secure
I remember that that was pretty crazy. But fineburg I mean low health here scary he hasn't
got it again. He's trying to slow aggressive like not even eating here's on two hearts.
That was he asked to if he's going to have any chance in this game but that's the portal
for hacks. Is this fast enough where you're not going to go for zero? It doesn't really seem like a
taxes ammo, even if it was to not go for that. I think if this is even remotely hard, I think you
still go for it. It had to be a ridiculous zero for hacks to not go for it here. I think you're going
up. But he did play really safe with that lava placement. You know, he didn't even jump into the
lava and double stack. And he's going to go for it. So if we're going to say the more is open,
And yeah, why is he doing?
He's mining an anchor because he misplaced
to any charge to, so he's down close to him,
but it doesn't really matter.
This is weird though, and he's not gonna be able
to get a great half-bow off because of this,
could get a weird perch.
And like, I mean, maybe this is the crack,
in the door, how does the phrase go up?
The opening, the door and the door is open.
Yeah.
Like, I don't know.
It's fine, but only as six eyes though, you're going to need a max perch from
hacks here and find a hit a zero.
I think it was overhang back, and like, you weren't like 7 or 7, but
like five, it's like six explosives maybe, but that could be the card in front of
this.
That's a good.
And that's a part.
So, unless Hacks is forgotten how to do the most essential strategy in Minecraft
speed running it looks like five markers going to be down to one here.
explosives. And that'll do it.
Hacks winning on the desert time will speed and is now one game away from knocking
out by Morgan moving on to the semi-finals. No way he's not you.
I thought I was gonna get away with the austerity of that anchor the whole time.
I was like finally he's too nervous he's not gonna place the anchor because it's so
close that he's freaking killed. I can't carry. I can't.
He really, he really likes doing that. He really does. I genuinely think it might be his favorite thing to do it right, but he doesn't every time you're gong to it.
I mean, yeah, not much to look at with these last splits.
13 seconds behind, you lose two plus minutes in the bastion, and even with fiber trying to crank it as fast as you possibly could on the way back, still use a 30 more seconds by the time he's running.
It's tough, you know, I believe in the fine bird mental though. I think there's there's still a chance he can he can win this next seed. It's not over.
You know, it almost felt like that. That's how to put a bed in it. But if fine bird wins the next two, he could be acts, you know, that's that's why we come here to watch, you know, even if even if somebody's ahead, even if somebody's totally the favorite, it can always swing the other way.
That's why we watch these things because it's not fully decided. I don't understand. I mean, we've seen we've seen a way crazy.
your upsets, then Fimerg went into games and antagonises.
We've seen, I mean, last season, number one seed out immediately, like there's so many
things that can happen, that's the beauty of ranked like all of these players have
pretty similar win rates to each other, it's very rare where there's like a very
lock-sided thing at the top level.
So I definitely do nothing, Fimerg is out of it at all.
It's just paths a lot harder now than it was 15 minutes ago, Parker.
It's going to be tough.
Yes.
Yeah, obviously not ideal but I think I think we got a lot a lot of fine
burn fans in chat. I think I think people are hoping for the comeback.
No, I know they are. I know there's a lot of people hoping for it and we're going to see what
see that's going to be on.
Why I'm taking us to another village is to see he won. I very much understand why he doesn't want
to go ocean. It's big sense. So I like the village pick get doesn't have a lot of
there. We don't even care. He's not the AA fly anymore. It doesn't matter. Let's go to
Yeah, let's go over this, let's look for the blacksmith and we'll see what happens with this thing.
Yeah, I think out of all the overworld so far he played, I think the village is the only
overworld that he played better than Hacks, I think he had slightly better ratty.
He did some like, I don't know how I need a time on the gravel pick, but I remember on the two other
seats he lost time, but the water he lost time with the animals, village scenes, nice and
is nice and comfy. He's one of the four, let's see him one at the game.
100%.
Excited.
If I'm able to need so when this is going to be game five, I know from talking
and flying right how much he wants to do good this season. How much he wants to show
that he is still a top player and this would be quite the way to do that.
Taking hacks to a game five, potentially winning, but hacks wants to repeat.
We'll see what happens.
Laksman on the screen, full punch in another diving.
Oh my gosh, you know, sometimes maybe it's just like all in my head, but I feel like
we get streaks with like seeds. I remember the last time I played ranked, I think I got five
or six desert temple seeds in a row. We got like, I think this is our sixth time picking a row.
That's crazy, you know? It's crazy. Yeah.
You didn't see this originally. Now, I don't know if this means like I do not think this means that
we're gonna play for like the lava in the blacksmiths to complete the portal with the six
obie. That would be pretty crazy, but maybe we do. We can have two buckets. You could drop
the item. Iron shovel. You could drop. Here's you could drop the ass. There's a lot of things
you could drop. And if there's no like lava pool, double buckets honestly might have been the
play. I don't think cast it off before either. He has the ball. He can make it though.
Now he's not going for and there's a lot full there. Sorry. I was just I was just trying to
I was like I was a creative. I appreciated the line. I appreciated the line. I respected a lot. But by my really
Haking control. Yeah, absolutely. This is really good. I mean, this is really good. This is what we want to see for a game five
gonna be 10 seconds ahead here
Maybe even more
Yeah, and this is used. We know that the gravel is gonna be a little bit awkward here for hacks
loading to it if I'm already mind it, but doesn't have the flint just yet.
I'm going to position himself to make sure he doesn't lose the flint and the lava.
Get the lava bucket and he's in early.
What is it enough?
Can we keep the lead?
It's an open-ended.
We'll get to the port.
100%.
This terrain looks kind of awkward.
Do you wrap all the way around left to your know you go up?
I think Hacks is probably going to do this as well.
We saw the fortress.
We kind of can envision in our head with these players like in be perlinks thing on top of the terrain here. Maybe dropping
All and this looks like beautiful terrain for fine burn really like this line for fine packs not too far behind
the
Housing yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
The another rack is cut off at the housing we know where the fort is
We have 10 obvious. Thanks to the blacksmith and
This looks again. I mean finally. I think made up even more time heading to this
This is Bastion Parker.
I think he might be right and there's not
to be any crazy difference in decisions
for leaving the Bastion as well.
I think it's pretty open, especially towards the bottom
and the back where I think would be the optimal way to go.
So I don't think Hacks can really make up much time here.
So let's see, I remember fine is talked about losing 10 or 15
seconds in housing and he doesn't know why.
So maybe there's a line where Hacks is mechanical pre-crafting
and Perling gives him an advantage here.
The finder is looking in a really nice spot right now.
A special look spot against the wall,
his life on the line, he needs this win.
Yeah, this is where Finer's gonna be at
his best, the pressure situation.
He's used to the tourney nurse.
He knows what he's dealing with.
He knows what he has to do, which is the most important thing.
Inventories looking a little bit rough right now,
but we're crafting our second bed.
We have everything we need.
Pretty much leaves soon, we just need five more obby,
little more explosives and the pearl trades, but these
pickles we've done pretty quick, no pearl hangout, and
hacks is out. How is hacks out? I look, no, he's
just throwing it. Just throwing it. Oh my God, he just
put a good really far, but really far for this
pearl hang. And fiber is actually out. Actually out, it
to mine a little bit to get through that blackstone,
maybe hack stays the second or two, but I think finding
a slightly better spot, but fine, it's just in the
Fortress. I don't know how I'm talking.
Yeah, he missed the terrain.
I don't think this was that good Parker.
I think five words in a great spot, but no.
Relax, all of a sudden.
It's neck neck.
Yeah, Hacks actually did make it.
Oh my gosh, are they the same intersection?
It's doing the pen on where this water is.
Is that this water ever fine with the re-scalotins
where the fort is or the spawner?
Was that spawner now?
I don't think I didn't see it,
but it could have been, and that would be really bad.
Fine running into a lot of stories,
He sees a spawner here, so he's going to be able to build hacks.
Meanwhile, still looking, still searching, gaining, trying to use this pie chart to find
the fortress, maybe getting a spike there, running as fast as he can, but fine
because it's too strong.
I mean, that could be a second that that hacks this not find this one or is such an
advantage for fiber.
It cannot be understated how much this gives fiber going to edge, but now hacks is
found it. He's here. He also got two strays along the way. It's a pretty good first
play cycle, but something to note, Parker, is that there's a lot more mobs on the outside
of like this little section where, yeah, Axis and that could cause problems leaving compared
to fiber. I think yes, 100%. We'll see if that that changes opening this year. He's getting
shot my skill that has to waste a little bit of time or one of the fires clearing and
there's a big magma cube.
Yeah, not only do you have to kill the the magma cube, but you got to kill all the little guys that it splits into can be really frustrating to do with
find work on four rods. I mean, hacks on two, it's still fairly close. It's actually on four now after this. So they're both are four rods. Wait, now find us on six now. Find us on six.
on six getting the pre-crafts down. I don't know how I don't think Hax has done that yet.
Builds the portal is gonna blend. Does not have the pre-craft of them. This is an aggressive
play from Hax. But it forces the pressure. Fimer has no idea that Hax hasn't pre-crafted yet.
It might be thinking like, hey, how do I, who's all this time I was at head? But actually,
find her still is at head. Has to be confident in his own play stall here.
Guess the eye has to measure.
This is really close. This is really close. And if you're Hax right now, you might even
save the pre-crafting. I know there's clips of people pre-crafting entirely in the end.
You can do that if it's really close and you really don't want to watch the pace.
Which has needs to do because these purling here is you can be pre-crafting in between
these purils. Find is out. Hacks is catching up though. A blind lava pool. Find taking
some fall damage. Try to navigate around the special delta. Where are the coordinates?
How close is he? Find bird throwing another long curl here.
It's almost really far.
Hacks finally getting the pre-carvel of now gets a gapple.
I mean, this is a far, stronghold.
Like, fine, yeah.
Hacks have been over, ever on this.
Finally finds a spot to build.
Again, it seems like Fimer has kind of held this 10 15 second lead.
We'll see.
Yeah, he's in this stronghold at 645.
We'll see what the time is for our hacks,
but we're not seen in a media could swipe.
That looks good now.
How to hook the other way.
A four way into a door into the staircase.
This apricot here.
Yeah, it is here, curry.
It is about a 15 second lead.
Hacks in the show hold at 702.
He is a lot of room here.
It does not have to hit a crazy zero.
Has enough time.
But Hacks is be lining to the sort of room.
It's going to be hitable.
It's far and it's back and it's weird with how many pros we have to throw.
This is the top zero.
Fimer has to hit this universal side 90 set of maybe pushing a 90.
Is he pushing 90?
Wait, what?
I hide his yank.
Oh my god.
He gets there.
Good work from Finder.
Zero.
Great damage there.
He has plenty of beds.
He shouldn't.
Oh, wait.
Or these is last two.
Oh no.
Oh, he has one more.
Did he kill it?
Oh my gosh.
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
You're the full zero from fine.
Way to pull that off.
Oh, my gosh.
That was so close.
I know that the joke is like, oh, five or zero.
Ha, ha, ha.
That is an insanely hard zero.
the fiber kit, the offset, the explosives, the way that he set it up, that is not easy.
And fiber is holding the stand away on to a game.
Punching the freaking egg along the way.
But he literally lost time to that.
Does he not have PTSD from killing the dragon first, last season and still losing
to act?
I just don't understand these players winning celebrations.
Doing things that puts their lives on the line and the times are, sorry, I got a, I got a, I got a calm down.
out. Good work. Good work, five birds. Is it a new yet 50 seconds? He is okay. He is
okay. But I mean, the enter different from enter another to enter end partner. One second.
From end to end. Wow. Wow. It was all that over. We're the five or the B line in the
three-teen second blacksmith first. Yes, they found Schrohol or they were finding Schrohol at
the same time, but five or had those two extra rods had the freecrafts array at that point. And
hacks just not able to capitalize in any area. And we finally, for the first time for us in two
seasons, get a game of five, Parker. Yeah, this is going to be awesome. You know, if there's one one
one game, I want to see go to a game five at this one. I want to see the rematch between
a hacks and fiber. We had lots of people in this tournament say that was one of their favorite
and most memorable moments is the close games between hacks and fiber. Are we going to see it again?
I mean, we're kind of building up to that storyline here.
Curried. This is it. I like this is it.
I don't even like, I don't even know to root for because it's like I want both of them to win and then like one of them is going to lose and one of them is going to go home and it's going to be like really sad and like I don't know.
I'm just don't even care because it's such a close thing to the game.
I'm I'm I'm I'm the two storylines really are just does fineburg still have it does you have it in the tank does he have like the light name a queen cars three canny do it.
And how do you do it?
In Hacks, repeat is the other storyline.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Come in.
Do the only verse into ever repeat.
Like, there is a lot in just this, like, round of 16 match that is going to be played out
for the rest of this tournament.
So I'm very excited to see, I don't want to ice the runners, I don't want to do anything.
What is this, Steve type going to be ruined for it all?
Oh, I kind of forgot the Hacks can just do that.
I can't have forgotten to.
This definitely favors Hacks,
so I think Hacks on room portals,
Loki, kind of deadly.
Back guy, little bit fast.
I don't know if anybody knows.
What do you mean?
Hacking noises is really fast.
I Loki forgot that Hacks could just kick room portal
and I legit think that Hacks' room portal average
and ranked left, like legit might be subset.
I'm not even kidding.
Like it actually really,
actually might be subset and ranked left.
So it is just,
just gusting some of the times that he gets on here.
I mean, listen,
If 500 wants to prove that he deserves this,
this is the great way to do it.
This is a great way to do it.
Beat Hacks on his own turn.
Come back from 21.
Lose, desert temple, and win the next two.
What a story line.
What a YouTube video it could be.
What Hacks?
That's true.
That's true.
I guess the fine wins this.
We might get it.
We might get a YouTube video out of it.
I'm going to do it.
It's a lava one.
They're not finishing this with them,
sitting on unless they're set up in this chest.
Nope.
No, you can't.
I mean, a good amount of iron.
Where's the water though? Is the big question? We have one tree here. I guess fine is going to a different tree. Maybe slightly in more logs. Probably doesn't matter the whole time.
You did that could be huge.
See water for fine. Hacks gets the craft saw.
Thinking down immediately. I mean, I just have to feel great about the situation. This is such a fast even with the lava pool completion for the room portal because of the six golden carrots.
That's huge.
Now I'm having to worry about booted all here is going to be great.
Finish is the crafting about is going to be heading pretty much straight here.
Maybe you're going to, oh, I'll have to get the water.
I'm going to get a little bit closer and also grab a lot more wood compared to what
it has to be because you went to the farther tree.
But hacks is going to be entering earlier.
We're going to see some cool room portal completion to be honest with you, Parker.
I don't know how up-to-date fine is on something like this.
So this could be different, a big difference here.
and could be a huge advantage for, for,
for hacks, and it is.
I'm going for the old book of fiction.
This is a huge advantage for hacks here.
And on top of that,
find getting all of the extra wood,
it ends up just being a time loss
because the seed is so linear.
You're basically here on the bastion.
We've seen the wood just already.
Triple sails too.
Look at the ass, Parker.
This is fast.
Yeah, you're right.
Sometimes I just forget about the speed
because they're so close.
But you're entirely right if this double triple hits, you could be in the fortress and flow three.
No triple yet because you didn't enter from like the same way that happened.
As much of the top, so might be even going for triple the gap here without even checking wasting time checking the chest where the piglins can be trading.
If you're a fine bird, believe her, you gotta be sweating right now.
Fine bird, getting the setup for the double triple, it hacks us in such a great spot right now, Parker.
Like in such a great spot.
Yeah, you're entirely right. The only thing that could go majorly wrong is he doesn't get 20 of the city in. He has to go trade more blocks. I guess that really probably wouldn't matter either, though, because fine work is also doing double to triple.
He's not going to have an advantage on Goldblad's really trying to make sure the
bass is phenomenal.
I actually like, wasn't the phenomenal textbook Pearl Hanging from hack.
In the driver's seat, just needs to make sure we get enough of city and nine from that
more interesting thing going on.
And Parker, this could be a job with three fortress for a hack here.
Yeah.
This was a bucket completion ruin portal.
Gonna trade this last goal block to get one more pearl trade with everything of a ton
of explosives.
I'm also going for a pretty nice pro in here,
but it just doesn't really matter
because Hax has such a good girl.
He's right now.
Wow, sub three, four, and really good materials.
You have the 20, I'll be.
He had like nearly two stacks of string,
two stacks of pearls.
I think he has a decent amount of gold on your own.
No, no, no, no, no.
I think we're low on pearls.
He got only one.
I saw that he had an extra trade in his two stacks.
We'll see next time he opens the glitter.
Oh, he looks so good.
Oh, yes, he's in the fort.
And it's in the good part of the fort.
But Hax did traverse to the spawner.
not on either runner screen yet, but Hacks does get the first run. Also has to wait
some getting wood with hoglins on them.
I'm talking Berlin, getting white straights.
That whole fight for X3 is an actual fight for X3.
Well, this is happening. Hacks has found this boner double bet.
Yeah, I think Hacks is in the lead here. It's just so powerful being at a sponor.
Unless it's like six for six rates, you really can't rely on strays that much.
and find still looking for that spawner just now finds it but it's going to be far behind
in terms of pace. His inventory a lot more clutter than hacks and hacks with his mechanics.
Look at his pre-crafting right now. I mean just unreal. Hacks to grab more wood again though.
This is the throw out of the box. It's got wood but Fimer can mess you up the place from the bed
is frustrating. The nerves on display for both runners. This is tough.
Everything's on the line here. The portal for hacks coming through.
We only have two rods so far, five mark up to four.
I think this is, I mean, maybe
hacks at the head by maybe five seconds for her.
Like maybe I'd say, I actually had five seconds.
This is a very close match.
And they're both at the same spawner, right?
So it should be similar decisions getting
to second quarter courts.
The eye, perhaps, oh my god, the dolphin.
And I said, what the pearl does land?
I thought the pearl missed the portal.
That was taken so long to land.
The line for a finder coming through again,
I head on two rods right now, but facts has the blazes to kill right now.
And both of these will probably drop up to five rods.
So it's still has to wait for one more completion cycle.
Bind's line to stay in this game parker is does you have to wait an extra cycle
or were the strays enough to keep him in this?
That's what it comes down to.
Yeah, we saw in, I think the other room portal seed, he did,
it didn't have five or three other things to go play.
How do you watch Kenny, Kenny, Kenny?
I don't think so.
I think both of them not dropped.
No, the hats can actually, can actually even leave off this out.
Yes, the trays were not enough for fiber.
It has to wait one more cycle.
And it's a doozy.
It has to wait like 15 seconds here.
Well, all the time, hats heading to court still has a bunch
of food, golden carrots, leaving close to courts.
I would imagine and find can do anything, but wait.
Keep doing anything.
Oh my gosh, look at him shifting.
That's going to be so frustrated.
I have a lot of weight.
And we're going to need, oh my gosh, maybe I can find a better terrain line than
Hacksuit, but it looks like they're going for a very similar play here.
Actually, no, fiber cutting left, Hacksuit and do this.
And Hacksuit has to dig the cords.
Fiber is still not digging.
This is the line.
Is this good enough?
No, down to a boat.
And Hacksuit will be happy.
He needed some miracle terrain there to catch up.
What we're hoping for now is the stronghold split to even out Hacksuit's totally in the
driver's split, but he is, but is, is it, is it the
foam is there just just below? It's got to be just below.
There's no way hacks misses in this high caliber of the same
stores. They have the same chords. That same chord.
Still, but find those lower, maybe no, he's not going lower.
He wants to push the pace. Yeah, I think find that's
going to be a little bit of time, but I don't think it's enough.
I think hacks is really in a good spot here. But it's mind
shaft Parker. This is the first one. I've seen same
miss that hacksat fine has now, but where's the poor room? What's
why are we getting it comes down to a tent? It's good. It's good. It's quick
as well and absolutely entering the end ahead by a lot. There's not
have to do anything crazy. It's 0.57. Find her just entering the
stronghold now. Hacks pro clip good. It's a front zero. All hacks
has to do is hit a pretty standard zero. I set up. Oh, no, no,
I'm sorry, curry.
What are the half hearts doing site set up?
95 after buried, he's gonna have to push this.
I think you can hit this, but I think he only has
like five explosives.
Oh, my damage.
Never as insane.
This is a harbor of taking to get lots of damage on, though.
Never mind, never mind.
He's just kind of, wow.
And Hacks will take it in a crazy best of five set.
Against Fineburg, I'm hearing any of trying to push top,
having to lower, it's not gonna matter.
Try to go for a crazy set up there.
Hacked wow knowing that he had the time ends up hitting the zero and that will be this set done
What a crazy
Incredibly well played final seed there from hacks
That was a that was a cinema match. I
So scared when I saw one more there pushing that set up. Oh my god
G. G. Wow, that was crazy. You can see one-y seconds, plus or like one-y second lead for
hacks entering another. Again, only three seconds separating these runners from enter
to enter another to enter. That is absolutely racy on this side. And hacks deciding
so smartly to go for the lower zero setup to not have to push it because he's
ahead and hit some crazy beds to clutch it out and win with another ridiculous time,
733 is absurd. Yes, beautifully played. I think it really, the biggest decision difference
there was really just the overall. I think just picking to go to those different trees. That was
potentially the entire seat. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. Santa might be. Of course,
We will be having an interview shortly with Hacks.
I mean, that was just so easy from both of these runners.
And I know that both of them played incredibly well.
And that's just, this is only day one,
child, remember, there's only day one.
We got another day of this.
We got a whole other weekend of this next weekend.
But I mean, wow, what a great performance from Fineberg and Hacks
there, Hacks taking the win in Game 5.
And I'm super excited to talk to him and see what he has to say about it.
Hacks, congratulations.
You know, you went to a game five.
You come out victorious. How are you feeling?
Oh, that felt good.
That's not the heart rate going.
I can't lie.
I was worried going into the playoffs.
I already wanted.
What if it's like boring, you know?
But it's like, I got to have a level of going.
The heart rate was off.
Like, oh my god, I feel something that was awesome.
That was so much fun.
Oh my god.
I mean, talk a little bit about,
you obviously, you won last season of playoffs going into the season.
Do you have like a different mindset?
Do you feel like the monkeys off your back?
Do you feel like the pressure to repeat?
What was kind of going through your head throughout this scene?
Or throughout this night?
I love it.
No, I just thought it was funny that I had not on the first scene.
Like, I've been doing this bit.
I was in different words like,
that I've been a range of any of my chat.
I'm on the stage.
It's like, it's good to go down.
Like, zero, two, or like one, two, and play off.
Because it's like, it's good for like, to adrenaline, you know?
It's like, oh, yeah.
It's like, what do you play right here?
It's like, kind of boring.
It's another game, one game up there and other.
But it's like when you're in playoffs,
it's like there's nothing quite like having to be
like that spluttered kick situation.
And it's like, I've been writing it by shot with that.
And I just thought it was funny.
That it's like, look, you're not supposed to have that.
Like you done it like this.
I was thinking about it.
And that was actually like an NPC that.
Like that.
That was like a Ludwig level that.
That got all.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Don't super self-mallow.
That's crazy.
You're not that bad.
I'm sorry, Lennon, I didn't be there.
Parker, what do you got?
What do I got?
How are you feeling with your potential matchup between EDCR and Steeze?
What are you thinking about that match?
Are you scared of one player more than the other?
You feel confident going into it, just general thoughts?
I'm expecting EDCR.
I would be surprised if I got Steeze, but I am expecting EDCR.
I think, I don't know, I just hope it will be a fun match.
Maybe you need to start.
I was expecting to play them last time in quarters.
So I didn't get to try and find you got to play it last time.
So I don't know.
I hope if you make it through, I have to be a good match.
I need to believe it.
You have, I mean, dude,
talk a little bit about your preparation for this season.
I mean, obviously, you didn't play too much.
You ended up getting rank one at the end of the season
to not have to go through L.C.Q.
I'm sure that was like a major relief
to not have to do that at the last minute.
But like, talk a little bit about like just your mindset
going into this season of playoffs
and kind of what you're hoping to get out of it,
if anything.
Oh, I can't lie, like, I don't know,
just like, I hope it's fun.
I was really glad I got through LCQ
because I have it, it's so bad.
I have exams after the weekend.
So I'm so glad I got LCQ because otherwise,
I would have to like, I would have to prep for LCQ
and then over a lot of study with my exams.
So glad I really have to do like one.
But I don't know after this season it's like, I don't know I just look more deep runs having more deep runs is really fun
I just want to try my best. I'll have some fun games. We'll see the I don't know.
No, great. Parker you got anything else?
No, I don't think so. Thanks for playing. Oh, the freaking anchor death like in the fountain just everything that I've ever done.
every time. I thought for sure this match I was like okay he's like
two anchors a year oh wait he has one extra surely he doesn't use it surely
he's like two stressed out he's like boxed so far but it's fine and then he
blows himself up anyways I just it's okay. Sorry.
We need to get some more impressive victory for you was it was it this game
five thriller was it beating him in the bash in vegetable masterclass.
Okay I'm going to be honest the bash in vegetable thing was really
because I'm pretty sure I lost with the vegetables.
Like I only want to do a lot of actions,
which is even more like,
I honestly don't even want to talk about that
because I literally lost the vegetables of my drink.
It's like, we're in cool, you know?
And I'm like, cold, what a heat cold for you.
You know what I mean?
Well listen, thank you so much.
I'm sure we'll have plenty more
to this show of you next weekend.
Enjoy your rest for until then.
Thanks for always putting on a show,
and we'll see you very soon.
Thank you, thank you.
All right, I'm going to be watching what a great day of ranking.
You got three out of four best of five, Parker.
That's pretty good.
Yeah, a lot better than last season.
Yeah, I'm enjoying all the content.
It's great.
This is why I come here at this wall.
Why are we all coming here?
I'll watch you read my code.
For anyone who's wondering the schedule don't worry.
I got you covered.
Well, first, let's take a look at the bracket.
Well, this kind of works for both, actually.
Would you look at that?
So going through the corner finals, we got hacks.
you just saw Aquacord and Skycrab playing against each other.
That I'm gonna be on.
I'm a huge Aquacord guy, I'm a huge Skycrab guy.
Very excited about that, Masha.
And Blaze mine winning against Mungi,
which was a crazy, crazy match.
That was the first game of the day.
Definitely go back and watch that if you haven't seen it.
But our matches tomorrow in order,
we're starting off right and early,
which will be commentated by Parker and myself.
I believe the first two games, it'll be EDCR versus T,
starting at 11 a.m. EST, which is the same start time that today was. Then after that,
it will be due dial versus HDMI cables. After that, we'll be swapping commentators back
to find a nerdy and it will be in the inverse beef salad. And finally, we'll be closing
out tomorrow's day with a na-hand versus Loki playoffs veteran versus someone who's playing for
the very first time, the Battle of the Seeps. That'll be very excited. Parker, any of those
matches that you personally are super excited about? You know, as a fellow Steve Skin, I know
I don't have exactly the same skin I have like the old school Steve.
I'm I'm rooting for the name hand versus low key match.
I want to see some cinema there.
I'm a big fan of Blaze Mind.
I remember one of his runs coming onto my feed like two weeks
that I was like, holy frick, this guy kind of be poppin' off.
I'm a fan of SkyCrab, see him come over from RST.
It's so exciting.
This is really a couple of my favorite matches.
Yeah, it's been a great day.
We're gonna have a bunch of great matches again tomorrow.
Last thing cannot do this production alone.
There's so many people working behind the scenes
to do some like all the incredible stuff.
Oliver headed over with everything,
us doing the commentary, nerdy in Bimber and counting,
the morning shift for us today.
All the editors, TJ, Bendo, Laura, Lucky, Beetle.
Like so many incredible people doing all the work.
The refs today we have Laura and out of the rain.
