I'm gonna play for two years, I've played eight seasons of the ring. I've played six play
else. I got six podiums. I made three finals and I don't know. That's happy.
Good morning. Good afternoon. Good wherever you are. Welcome back to MCSR Rank season 9 playoffs.
I'm Crayway and I'm joined with a record parker.
How are you doing this morning?
Right, nearly for us. You excited for these games?
Yeah. Oh, but I'm doing well. I got some breakfast in me.
I'm ready. I'm ready to start these games. I see both players have been doing their
private rooms for two hours. I think ECR and Cs are going to be warmed up.
I'm looking for some big games here. I am super excited for the game today.
We got a couple of bangers. The first one like Parker saying EDCR versus Cs.
But let's take a look at the bracket.
See what happened yesterday?
Also what's happening today?
So the first game, like we just said,
EDCR sees that top-left game.
That would be happening first.
After that, Parker and I will be staying here
to commentate due-guyolverse HDMI cables,
one of the best players in the history of ranked plus
versus a newcomer from LSUQ.
That'll be exciting.
After that, we'll have an infusion-verse beef salad,
arguably the match of the round of 16.
And then after that, we'll be closing the day
with Naehan and Loki and Fimer Grenerdy will be taking care of those two final games.
Parker, this game we're about to commentate is definitely on the card so the best match of the day,
but is there another game maybe you're excited about later as well that you're super pumped for?
I've been saying it, it's just a little bit of bias having a Steve skin as well.
Naehan versus Loki, I just think that's just such an awesome premise.
Two schemes versus each other.
That's what I'm looking to do.
I'm excited for it.
I think it's going to be great.
I think it is.
It's a very funny thing.
Like we were looking at like some graphics before and it's just, it's so funny seeing
like Steve versus Steve and you know, Blaze might still alive too.
Blaze might still alive too.
So you could have a Steve versus Steve later on as well, which would be very exciting.
Um, but yeah, I mean, these matchups are going to be amazing.
I'm super excited for that one as well, but like we said, me and Park will be taking care of
these first few then fine and they're doing what we're taking care of the last two.
But before we hop into this EDC Rverse D's game,
we have some content for everyone on both of you.
That's then.
They're doing content together.
EDC Rverse D's, they're doing a content piece together
because they are good friends.
If you missed LCQ, EDC RPEC D specifically,
because they know each other,
and EDC R had said, if I lose, I want my friend to win.
So I'm very excited to see what they had to say
in a couple of interview questions,
but we're just not ready exactly yet,
they'll be a super exciting interview. Parker, how do you feel like you would do if you were
playing against one of your friends in a bracket style thing like this? Would you want to do that?
Or would you want to not potentially knock your friend now? Because it was a pretty interesting decision
from EDCR. It is an interesting, interesting decision. If it was me personally, I don't think I
would go for the playing friend just purely for the, hey, let's both see how far we can get.
But I do like the camaraderie that's there, you know, maybe it's more familiar, maybe you get
less nerves for both of you, you're like used to playing each other in private rooms and calls
all the time, you know, how each other play. I definitely think it could lower the stress levels,
lower the nerves. I think something which would be important for EDCR. I know last season he
came in rank 1 and didn't have quite the performance he was looking for. So maybe that helps
him in this situation playing like a more friendly type match. Yeah, absolutely. Well, the interview
Here's ready, let's take a look at what EVCR and CDs had to say for this upcoming
playoffs.
Hi, I'm EVCR.
I've been speaking for about a year, but I've been playing Minecraft for over 10 years.
Hello, my name is Steve.
I'm 17 from UK.
I'm featuring, like, a little over here, but I have been playing Minecraft since I was five
So I first really started playing Minecraft through Hypixel Bed Wars and I really
liked the idea of mechanics and being good at the game and then I found out about
MCHD which is a bridging server through a friend and I really liked the idea of
optimizing struts, developing stratsets, showing my comments through that. I
thought I would have a microstriol link through it because 850R she will not hit. Now
that was a while ago and I really only started a year ago but I have a lot of my
I'm not sure what you're doing since, and how you can express me coming to this stage of making,
and how I just live at those. That's really fun.
My introduction to Minecraft was with HyperXil,
I really enjoyed playing games that you can speed around such as zombies and parkour,
but one day my friend Morgan introduced me to MC Sarankt, and I tried out and I really enjoyed how
you can just keep improving, like there's never a limit. You can always do something better,
so I kept playing and here I am.
The reason I picked Steve is because we're both part of a group called Car, which is
like a friend group where we discussed strats and just talk about whatever.
So even if I lose my matchup, someone from Car still moves on, so it's like a win-win.
So this is funny actually because it is up to me after I made it really so cute.
When you said, you know, Char, now you're done with it and fixed your grab on me.
I look he told him it was fine to pick me because I just want to fight
I don't really care what they can't follow really sick me whoever I was with the play
I just haven't played anymore much
And I was probably the first sort of bubble of people
And so if I were to get first round then the vice will be in the start
I'm going to go to the front line and I'll be happy
I'll be back in the way if I go through all the English
Steeze is a very mechanical player. He has insane mechanics. He's like a top-bridgeer
Me I think my mechanics are decent, but where I'm going to gain time on him is through decision-making
So I think it could honestly go either way depending on how the seats are.
If it's a very linear seat, he could probably be with him.
Yeah, I mean I grew up with that.
But yeah, I mean if the seat holds a D-reboot hard decision making, he probably discounted
my size 7.
Oh, pretty much every matchup, my own D-boot against him is a sub 7.
So I think that's very telling, or kinda how a match is good.
But I'm not very nervous to me.
Because as I said, if I'm just trying to have fun and if he declares through, that
make me happy, and if I get $2,000, I'll be seeing me happy.
Yeah, I will say, for last playoffs, I was really, really nervous.
And I think it actually resulted in my downfall.
But in this playoffs, I'm just looking to have fun.
So if I win, I win, if I lose, I lose.
I just want to have fun.
I would say there are two things that have improved on mainly.
The first one is my terrain management.
When getting to the bastion, I used to just brute force getting there,
just the most direct line possible but I've got to know a lot better at looking around
seeing older terrain options. The second thing I would say is my mentor. I used to get
really nervous in just rank matches on the ladder and obviously in playoffs but I've got to
know a lot better at coming down and just working for Dimash.
So compared to season A, well if you look at season A starts they won very good.
Compared to season 9 starts, I think that's a part of my gameplay as well.
It's easy, I just, I kind of was just kind of a brute force player rank.
I was very nervous playing rank as well because I like,
smart private rooms and I just never to get real practice.
So, I had real rank matches, I was very nervous to play.
So, I had a terrible, I was like, dialogue and it was a very fun.
But it's easy to know, I tried to walk from that a lot.
I tried to walk my mental and really break down every game for a lost time.
Even when I saved time, I'd see if I could see one.
and I think that really showed me the right average of competencies and eight that's even nine.
They say 50-7s.
Yeah, I just really had a lot of fun improving, but I think I did a lot of squad.
So on top of bridging on its pitch deep, there is also my cheaper.
It's very fond that I actually had five or four tickets on there.
I haven't really been far to my super as well.
A fun fact about me is that I'm left-handed.
I am actually I'm really glad I didn't mute normally these I am you like 10 seconds before the end
Parker. Yeah, also left handed so I was easy to ask
ERCR said that he's
He's your city loved handed the end that was actually so big I'm assuming that he doesn't play with his left hand
And he wins we could actually ask him I don't think he would play with his mouse with his left hand
I would be kind of crazy
I did not learn how to play that way, but I just think that's cool. I think that's really cool
So I am now biased. I'm a biased commentator
I very much apologize. You're gonna have to take the Steve out of my game
Well, we're regardless. I think the thing is that you know, we were just talking about it while we were watching
instead of you like these two players have not played for a long time Parker and I think that's what's so impressive about this matchup
Yeah, one year from each of them very notable
Also, another thing that I think is very important, they're both in, we've seen this name pop up a couple of times car, the car friend group of speedrunners.
And I think, at least speaking from personal experience, the time where I got best at speedrunning was when I joined HBG.
When you join people of like-mindedness who are at similar skill levels, all pushing each other, same with YouTube, when I started getting good at YouTube, it was when I joined,
joined a lifestyle, a friend group with it.
I think there's so much power in community here
and learning introduces you to different play styles
to different points of views.
And so I think if anybody is trying to improve here,
you know, reaching out to people,
just interacting being kind to like your fellow MCSR runners,
you can start friendships anywhere,
and who knows, those friendships could lead you to playoffs.
We've seen both these players one year, guys, one year.
This is true.
This is super true.
I mean, especially like for, I mean,
for me specifically like getting into MCSR and doing everything like the most fun I had was
when I originally joined HPGA and it's cool to see people joining the game now like have
their own friend groups and own experiences and you know this is truly a match of like a
new era of running. I think the mechanical gameplay that we'll see in this game is absolutely
insane and I'm really excited. So why don't we just give us the stuff all right? I want to
see this like this is crazy. So we're talking about this let's put it really in perspective
here. EDSUR went from literally never touching Minecraft to or not touching Minecraft.
It's just from Minecraft right. Never touch Minecraft. It's been a bit right. One in like
what is that? Less than eight months to under twenty eight. It's like eight. Eight.
Eight. Like that is absolutely absurd. And my favorite stat in all of playoffs is that
he does not have a 1.16 RSCPD. He doesn't have one. He doesn't care. And the win rate
is absurd, 72% is crazy in this era of speed running.
I mean, Parker, what stands out to you?
Yeah, I mean, Edy, Sierra's one of our strongest contenders.
There's our reason, he's ranked one,
you know, sounds kind of obvious to say.
But I think, I don't know.
One thing that I thought was interesting
was Steve's talking about his top speed.
It sounds like Steve has a very mechanically pop beat
game play and we can see this in the stats best, right?
Times steas does have a faster win.
You know, when they are talking about the matches they've played together,
steas is only win was a sub-six curry.
So potentially be looking out for those linear seats,
they might be favoring steas.
Yeah, I mean, the one thing, if you're on team steas,
you're hope here is kind of like kind of similar to the Hacks
Fiber game that we watched yesterday were like,
if you were rooting for Fiber,
do you want to these like kind of crazier,
or more thought process out season.
If you're rooting for Hacks,
you want to just this linear linear thing.
EDCR, while playing nearly a thousand games,
and obviously six, 40 scores in incredible,
best rank time, steas has a faster rank time
in a fifth of the games, which is crazy impressive.
Like that is actually, that is nuts.
And it's not just like a high 650X,
like six, 40 is a crazy insane time,
and steas absolutely has a chance to this matchup,
if the seeds can go his way.
100%. I'll be interested to see what the seat pick bands are. Maybe we're hoping steas plays it for room portal looks like we have the stats
That's a wow
That's what this is a wild this year. Oh my god. This is a crazy distribution partner
The first thing that caught my eye was the 44% room portal for steas, but I mean
77% winner rate on temple was that the nine to 22 average what?
Yeah, EDCR just kind of has lights out statistics, it's really scary to look at here,
is there a single stat, the favorite steers, I don't think there's a single stat, the
favorite steers in this, in this time, it's going to be a little bit tough on that one,
it's going to be a little bit tough, I mean, sub 9, ruined portal is absurd, that's just absurd,
like that is crazy. It's uncomprehensible numbers that we're really looking at here, I mean, EDCR
is the number one seed for a reason. And I am just really excited to see how both of these players
really handle these nerves going into this tournament, not only for season you playing in your first
game, not only for EDCR, are you playing to try and make good on the fact that you got knocked
out and round one last season. But you're also the first game of the day. There's no like
there's nothing before you, and the show is starting, you're on the screen immediately. I think
I think that's a big thing for both of these runners.
I'm really excited to see just how they react
under the pressure of today.
Yeah, interestingly, I think I would probably prefer
being the first round of the match,
or round of the match.
I wouldn't want to be like, I used for hours,
watching these other players, maybe you see a friend,
like getting upset, like, oh no, like what's gonna happen to me?
I kind of like UCR's position, being the first match.
She's wanting his sort of redemption.
This is the story arc for him right here.
I know he's been working on his nerves with a,
I felt like a coosh figure in the Spiderman community, titanium bat, and so let's see
what pays off for him.
And we're going to see here.
ECR banding, buried treasure, steers, banding, village, leaving Ruin Portal open with a 44%
mermaid is a very interesting play.
But I think it makes sense, Parker, because if you want to play for that linear, fast
seat, it's going to be Ruin Portal.
You're not going to care about the winner, anything like you're going to try and get the
fastest seat types possible.
So, Ruin Portal shipwreck on the board for later, but ECR picking what is probably his
stronger seed type in Desert Temple to start us off. I totally agree. I like to pick from
EDCR, his strong suits, and we'll see if EDs or if Steve pulls off some crazy speed on a
brim portal. Yeah, I mean, I'm excited for this just because last season, like I know a lot of
people are maybe in the chat, maybe watching in general or thinking like, oh my god, EDCR stats are
so much better. Like, you know, this is just going to be a wash anything like that. This was the same
situation last season like a literally the same situation and E.D.C.R. lost. So anything can happen
in ranked playoffs. Do not count anyone out, upsets happen all the time. Like that's why
we play the games, right? So do not just think like all this is going to be easy for E.D.C.R.
anything like that. Like Steve's got here because he went through the hardest qualification
process that we have and absolutely deserves to be here and is going to put on a show. So here
we go. There's a temple seed one immediately Parker not seeing water not seeing gravel. Oh,
Oh, there's a river on the right, but let's see what the players get in the sample.
Yeah, everything looks pretty accessible except for that lava.
We should be getting Flint from rivers.
If you don't speedrun, that's a great place to get them.
The the one-off water pools don't usually have Flint here.
So, big question is lava.
Where is our lava?
No, there's no change in the lava.
An apple parker.
And then we'll pick again.
And then I'll pick no way.
We're just like, we've got the diamond tick look.
Curie, if you're playing, if we're accommodating your mats,
There's a very good chance you get a dime of food. Yeah, absolutely. And with
something that for people who might be new to Minecraft's future, there might be curious
like why are they playing in different languages? I'm not exactly sure what EBCR plays in,
but we were actually talking behind the scenes on the broadcast about
Steeze's playing in Yiddish. Yiddish is becoming a very popular search-craping language recently.
So we're seeing this is because by, you know, pressing certain keys, you can get certain
crafts that you want much quicker, much more effectively in the search-craping menu.
We're going to see a lot of that throughout different runners throughout the day, throughout yesterday as well,
but this is going to be really interesting to see these runners handle this overall.
There's EDCR has seen pretty much everything. It's just looking for Flint to get into the
nether saw the lava pool. Yeah, I think this is, I think no, that was anti-cylindercylindercylinder
inventory, but Steve's already made sort of one big mistake for getting the pressure play at the
bottom of the temple, so he had to punch a log, so that's a little bit of time loss, but he managed
to find Flint in just a better position than EDCR.
And so it was actually going to be entering first
after all of his shenanigans with the treats.
Yeah, EDCR did grab a ruined portal.
I'm not exactly sure if the chess was even there.
If he got anything from it, I would miss that.
I was looking at EDCS screen,
but still having a grind gravel for C's,
EDCR just now finding gravel.
This TNT is almost certainly not going to give him
the Flint that he needs because we're seeing
how much gravel C's has to mind.
Finally gets the Flint is going to be entering the nether and EDCR shouldn't be too much farther behind, but especially with the wood shovel Parker it's going to be it's a significant leave starting out here.
100% you know gold or the the wood shovel definitely doesn't feel good because in the Luzia lot of time and EDCR already behind something maybe we weren't expecting we have a bridge that steas is going to be entering momentarily.
And is this going to be shaking up EDCR's mental or is he totally locked in?
Let's see how he plays the rest of the seed.
Yeah, I'm excited to see also this bridge enters a little bit awkward.
Has to throw a lot of gold.
Steve's getting to the chalice is going to handle it really well,
taking literally no damage on the way, which is phenomenal.
We could also see, in Steve's inventory, two normal golden apples.
And that in Shandong golden apple is going to be really incredible for him to just be able
to play the second half of this seed really lights out E.C. are almost falling on the bridge.
I was a little bit scary for a second, but it's going to be okay. Oh my god, I see it a
little bit again coming in from the lower angle, but should be fine. I don't know about you Parker.
I always, I don't love coming in from this lower angle. I think it's a little bit more risky,
but I think because E.C. are dot the gold helmet from the room portal makes his life a
little bit easier than I would be otherwise. Yeah, he also, I think purposely made a staircase from
from that lower section that, yes, great.
I find up.
So he might get an extra two or three pigs that
steers didn't get.
Not sure how much this is going to matter.
Looks like steers has a phenomenal amount of pigs
and starting his route so much faster.
Yeah, and this is on double single bridge as well.
So not a normal route where you're going to get like a
ton of pigs, but steers, I think the ground
is also really helping out.
Like there's at least 15 pigs in this wall park.
And this looks like a really great route.
We got our obby double obby in both of these
just we have 11, I'll be already.
We should be totally locked on on 20,
especially with this high quality of a bastion,
a little bit of a funky pick there,
but now both of them are trading,
and I believe we did see the fort out just like straight out
from that.
Yeah, that's like it was straight ahead for Steve.
And the thing I'm noticing is well,
like, honestly, like this at that time,
well, we could see Caesar already has a stone swordcrafted.
That will help with the blazes to make it faster.
That's just from the cobblestone, from the desert temple.
Not a lot of things to really pre-craft on the seed,
because we have that stone somewhere from earlier.
And we have TNC from the temple
so we don't have to crack the blaze,
but so Steve's just able to pretty much leave immediately
has the golden apples to really crank here.
And Parker, he's gonna be in the fortress.
I think at least 15 seconds or so,
I had an EDCR here.
Yeah, very, very solid lead.
And as we were saying, if it's a fast seed,
maybe Steve's gonna be taking the lead.
You know, EDCR finally, leaving to the bastion now.
We'll see if he finds this double blade spawner
maybe slightly faster, maybe has a different purl or two.
That's what he's going to need to catch up here, especially if the rates are fast.
He might not even need to, yeah, it looks like he's just going to play on 5RD.
Maybe he gets one or two straight, but doesn't look like it.
This is a really awkward kind of double-blazed foreigner situation.
We're seeing her sneezes as well.
I'm curious to see how EDCR handles it.
Not only are they not super close to each other in the sense of a nice middle ground to
kind of plan, but that's second one being like half buried is also a little bit annoying.
So great curious to see how the runners kind of handle the blaze bedding or
explosive to detonate the spawner area seems like both are just going to play this
one more open one, which I think makes a lot of sense.
Yeah, we see EDC are getting the blaze team T off almost the same time as
steas. So potentially makes up a little bit of time there, but steas did get the
extra spawn from the other spawner. Maybe a strier too. And now
EDC are dealing with the weather skeleton, so losing a little bit of time there.
Yeah, one thing I want to note is they're blinding basically at the same time E.D.C. are actually technically blinding earlier.
Obviously, Steve has more rods, but I think this is just E.D.C.R. is going to try and overlap and force as much aggression as much as possible to get back into this game.
Yeah, look at the best players in the world.
Like E.D.C.R. knows like 10 seconds at this point in the match is a lifetime.
Like it's so hard to make this time back besides, you know, an unlucky stronghold never something like that.
that these players are going to be so evenly matched in so many areas.
So any miniscule thing that he can get back is going to be super helpful.
He's checking chunk orders for a Pearl Hang still has the enchanted golden apple and
it's probably going to pre-craft your very suit to make sure he has everything he needs to finish
the game.
As steas is out beautiful.
Both these players have light out pre-crafting, love to see it with the different languages,
all the keyboard rebounds there are masters of this art.
But I think E.C.R. is making up time here on Steeze.
I'm pretty sure he entered the fortress a lot slower
than he's going to be entering the strommel of the year.
Yeah, only going to be a big time.
Seconds behind.
Yeah, it's going to be a little bit of a hesitation
building the portal and messes it up with the gravel.
That could be a bit of a time loss.
But E.C. is struggling a little bit to find this portal room.
And this just might be what E.C.R. needs to get back in this game.
We'll see what the spike looks like for him.
Something to note as well that we didn't mention as
Steve finds the portal room is E-D-Sjar correct me if I'm wrong, but I think will be the only person in this playoffs with a different stronghold spike than what we're used to seeing because of his graphics card.
So it's a little bit different of a spike than we're used to seeing Steve hitting the zero front 94 should be pretty straight forward.
It's gonna be tough for E-D-Sjar to make up this time parker. This is Steve's game to lose. No arrows though.
could make it funky. I know EDCR does multi blocks of potentially could go for a 2 plus 2,
but it looks like he had a bad pearl, and Steve should be able to pull this off.
It's more anchors.
It should still be fine. Yes, EDCR not able to make up enough time to make the non arrows matter.
It looks like EDCR also did not have any arrows in the bastion as well. So Steve's playing a very
clean game to win especially playing the overall better. I think honestly, Parker, that's
kind of in the story of a lot of the matches that at least we've confiscated. We've seen like
a 10, 15 second overall lead and then the player just holds that for the rest of the game.
Especially with these desert temple seeds, I remember yesterday there was one where
somebody missed a room portal or missed a lot of the or missed a water and there's really just
a lot you need to keep track of on these desert temple seeds and that's exactly what we saw.
You're totally right. EDCR just not finding flint for 30 seconds. He loses 30 seconds. Even though he makes up over 10 seconds over the entire seed
It's just not enough to overcome his time loss just in the oval. Yeah, I mean you could see I mean this this
What I think is a great way of like how Steve is going to be able to like pull this out officially right like you take a lead
You hold it. EDCR is probably going to make up ground. I mean he is the number one seed for a reason and he does
consistently make up ground throughout the seed. But if you can play the overall
better and give yourself that cushion, the seed is mechanically good enough to
hold that and finish strong like you just did here for us of it.
Yeah, maybe we see a like a village seed would be pretty similar to a desert
temple with all of the decisions you need to make. Maybe we see the same story and
and that's the seed's line to victory. Which is so interesting because like when we
started the beginning it was like, oh you know the living irony like maybe that's
that's gonna be what ends up working out,
but maybe it's just eyeball RNG.
It's tough.
It's one game parker, like anything can happen.
So like, there's a lot of ups that's gonna happen.
Even in ranked, like when you play each other so many times,
ED's Yarnos is very well,
it's been conversations that we've had,
and I know he's very passionate about like,
sometimes you can just have things happen
where you just lose 20 seconds in the overall
to like some RNG stuff,
and then it's very hard to make that back.
So that can just happen in games.
I think ED's Yarnos that, and as he said,
in the pre-interview, one of the things
he's focused on so much going into the season
is how he can improve his own mental
in a state like this to stay strong and come back.
Yeah, I'll be looking forward to that in the gameplay.
I don't think we're gonna be seeing any shaking this from it.
Now, it looks like we got a shipwreck pick from EDCR.
Yeah, shipwreck is gonna be interesting.
Again, something to watch out for is
when do these players see their ravine?
If it's not obvious, the food situation on shipwreck
can be different.
The Azure Temple usually can be something where we have to worry a lot about food.
It didn't really come into play because, you know, two bold and apples in the
end of the year. And golden apple makes that pretty, pretty comfortable, but
you're not getting the carrots here, Parker. It could be a little bit awkward and we
could see that come way more into play. A hundred percent. You know, hopefully EDCR
doesn't miss a macaroon or anything like that. Maybe a little bit more linear than
something like a desert temple, but it can be very punishing, especially if you have
of a weird magma-rving off-spom.
I like to mention a food, they both handle it.
That last seat, honestly,
did it's so much food.
I think Steve entered on like a heart's of a zurson.
Yeah, I know, it's crazy.
It's absolutely crazy when I was like
seeing a chain of gold and apple seats,
because it also opens up the door for like,
you know, you spawn on the fort.
It's like one of the only times you could ever see like
work for us, which is always a little bit silly as well.
But we're getting an internship right here.
Probably no one chain of gold and apple on this run,
but we're excited to see how we push the pace here.
On this shipwreck we see it, it's right side up, looking for kelp on either screen.
Don't see it yet, but both players off to the shipwreck.
Yeah, as you're swimming here, you can see some of them putting their F5 right above the water,
so you can almost like extract through the water, get some better visibility.
Not sure if I saw a ravine, but I think it is here.
May have seen something, we'll see if these runners continue to scan as they're swimming towards the ion.
Looks like they're doing it.
You always want to be keeping track in your head of where are all these divots in the ground,
of these routines, where am I going to be going, which trees should I be punching?
Yep, exactly.
One thing I just want to know, I don't think it'll become a huge issue, but it is
your missing out on the nine gold nuggets that Steve's grabbed.
That is a gold and carrot, so that's at least something, but it looks like Steve's is
not going to make a gold and carrot with it instead just crafted into an end gate, maybe
have some destruction gold, but even having one destruction gold Parker went entering
a bastion can be such a benefit, and it's something just to watch out for as they enter
the another year.
Yeah, I mean, it can literally be life or death.
We've seen some deaths and bashings in this play.
I wouldn't be super surprised to see that here.
Yeah, absolutely.
And we also see both players making shears,
even though technically,
these could have made like Iron Axe Iron Pick gold shovel,
just doesn't make sense.
Shears are so powerful having the iron for that.
They're just so much more rewarding.
But as we're talking about that, ECR way out first.
Maybe eight, 10 seconds ahead of steas here.
Also find your ravine immediately.
Is this ravine also good for steas?
I think it's the same one. So no crazy time loss there and we should see both runners enter pretty similar times with the EDSR having maybe a five or so second lead.
Yeah, not I guess it was just a mechanical difference. Not sure exactly how EDSR made up so much time on just the island leading split, but
and to realize very similar, I think Steve's caught up a little bit
maybe voting to the island or potentially just making the portal.
Definitely. One thing I want to note as well,
I know EDCR does this. I would assume because they're good friends that
Steve's also going to do this. These are probably too often. If not
the two best players in the event, utilizing shears host overworld.
You can see neither run or throws them out. We're going to see EDCR
use shears a lot potentially for breaking placing blocks if necessary in certain
about, keep your eyes on how both of these runners use the shears in the
shroud. I am not even sure what bass this is. I think it's rich. Yeah, it's
rich. So both runners are going to be heading in different directions. Kind of
to the child's EDCR bridging steers digging and the leaves, taking advantage
EDCR with the child is much earlier. Yeah, potentially could get awkward here,
though, using all of your leaves to get to the child's steer. EDCR might need to
make a gold pick to get some some more block seven is not a ton for a bridge route,
but maybe there's something in his inventory that I've missed.
Yeah, that's some of the leaves. It's 10 more leaves and it's a crimson. So like it's not the end
of the world if you have to use some of that wood, it would be a little bit annoying here.
You can also see E.D.S.R. making a gold pick while steas is not. So again, a slight
difference in rods does this make the route a little bit faster. E.S.R. probably while that
that leaf placement was absolutely absurd.
You guys will see, it was burning.
Oh my god.
You didn't even put out the fire in time in a really awkward spot.
Now, has to rebuild with wood, but this is risky,
because all of that wood in the bottom can be crushed.
Isn't able to also open up the top section
to let more piglins in, he's trying so hard.
It's not working.
Meanwhile, Steve's going for a completely different route.
Did not, he sure I don't think realized that this was a single,
and Steve is now in a double in a triple.
So trading in two different parts of the bastion here,
Wow, that was a real, a real difference in bass in here. I didn't even realize that
they're just on completely different sides of the bass in. So ECR is gonna have to run. Oh, no, never mind.
He's just on the lower. No, no, he just did that. Wow. Okay. Is that an emotional? Maybe maybe just in the
cluster. Maybe. Oh, you see, he's on the one heart. Oh, my God. Yeah, I don't know. Like it's very hard.
Like ECR is gonna do some of this, the most unconventional things. Like this might be intentional.
I totally thought this was a single and like it only now realizing both her at the same trip, but like
Each arm might have made might have done this on purpose, but I don't know
I could have just been the really awkwardness of what he was doing. I highly doubt this this was intentional
I think Steve's was what he wanted to though
Yeah, I think you're right, you know
Sort of an older style route putting the pigs lower down a little further from chess
You don't have as much time to overlap, but honestly like if you have a lot of pigs
It really, it might lose you a couple seconds that the main thing here is going to be maybe the
the flusteredness the EEDs that are as feeling from not doing what you want it to do or getting hit by all those
pick ones. It's a good thing I drive, but if it makes you flustered and makes you shaky, not be able to think about
the important decisions you need to be making right now could be bad. It's just hard too because you have so many less
pegs than EEDs, you are it or less than season. Excuse me. I mean, season is just fully out. I think EEDs, you are so so
I mean, this whole bridge is mangled like it's totally lost there.
It's sure I'm not sure getting a pearl hangoff or just fully leaving.
Looks like fully leaving and doesn't have any gold carrots either, Parker.
I'm not sure how many steas has, but see, I see that I think has golden carrots.
Yes, it does.
It has eight of them.
So that's the big difference in this end game.
It is sure it might be in the fourth first.
Barely.
Yeah.
Behind just barely.
But these golden carrots, Parker, I think make up at least 20 seconds.
at least 20 seconds, but never mind, ECR is six, okay, I'm stupid, sorry.
No, it's all good.
Thank you, thank you, thank you all those things.
But just the way that EDCR left the bastion, I mean, we're seeing this difference in
Steve's just leaving blindly very quickly, a little bit more to the left.
Maybe EDCR being better with those decision making skills that we were talking about earlier
and decided to really force some terrain, some unusual terrain and that paid off
Amazingly now in the lead building this portal leaving on four four eyes. Not quite getting some more
The season's looking to pre-craft. I mean, this is gonna be really close to the same game now actually both players
Utilizing the iron so we could see on the bottom ECR five rods the steas is great
So that's gonna be the big difference here ECR throwing the first eye
Oh, ECR actually is or steas actually has six rods. Oh my god
Maybe the trucker was wrong for a second, but Steve actually has six.
Well, yeah, it must be really great. I guess like this
The blaze split was just really quick. I feel like Eddie Sir, maybe he is just gonna go
I mean, this angle is gonna crank for both of these runners. The I break so has to get a seventh rod we do
So these will be leaving. Eddie's your needs to get two more rods. I believe
But neither runner is pre-crafted just yet
Oh my gosh, that is the power of search crafting, that is the power of utilizing a language that you might not be as familiar with to read, but
Wow, does it make other aspects of the game so much quicker?
And we can imagine so much on the seed where the rates are pretty good.
It is your entry to the fourth faster.
He got his partner spawner faster, and now he's just behind, but takes it to the train.
He's like six gold pickaxes compared to Steve.
Sure, season it building this now, but he's sure it's gonna crank to this location and it might be just enough
If the stronghold makes these hesitate a little bit
It looks like these gets a spike that he likes here again with the EDCR screen. We're not gonna be able to tell what our little one
Oh my gosh, he's struggling to find this and he's sure is now in a stronghold
Let's see if he gets a spike that he likes better, looks like he's always standing in
the same direction that Steve did. So potentially they're getting the same spikes here.
But if the EDCR pushes a tunnel differently than Steve did, like this upper right section,
no, it's not working. We have three moms here, a creeper skeleton in zombie, that will mess
with your ratings, regardless of what graphics are there. And he's here as in first.
These went down this hallway, I don't think fully checked it.
And now all of a sudden, East Yard in the lead for what it feels like maybe the first time,
all match up so far. Yeah. Back zero, really difficult, but has the blocks,
has the mechanics pushing back 99 on 97, a beautiful set by moving.
Yeah. It's going to still get him maybe get there on time, just barely,
but doesn't have the anchor now. Only has five vets to deal with this Parker.
I don't know if it's going to be so hard to still have to be so good.
It is, it is.
It is.
Last bed of no.
Oh.
Yes, and it is.
It is my God.
Wow.
Good work, EDCR.
That's what you need.
You need to be building the confidence here.
Look at that building in the A third portal.
And then another one, he's locked in Curry.
I think that was really good for the EDCR mentality.
A little bit of shaking is there on the zero,
but he managed to clutch it up and hit it.
That was pretty nice work.
That was absolutely crazy.
I mean, look how close this matchup was throughout.
Less than 10 seconds separating his runners
at all times until finding the strongholds,
but then East Y'r able to pull ahead
a little bit better readings on the grip
that potentially forcing it a little bit more
than East Y'r was and just checking one final corner
that East Y'r turned back on.
And it up decided the entire matchup.
I mean, that was a crazy matchup.
It was cinema.
It was cinema.
That was, that was a very good match.
Let's hope, let's hope for another one.
He's running us an out, tied up one, one.
And he's gonna be absolutely crazy.
This has been such a mental match up so far.
I can't wait to see even more of this as we go through,
but before we hop into Game 3,
Fulham has shown us some stuff that,
or Fulham is going to show us some stuff that we miss.
So let's take a look at our first Fulham analysis
of the day right now.
Good morning, everyone and welcome to the second day of season nine MCSR ranked playoffs.
We're back watching two of my fellow brits battle off in the round of 16 EDCR is taking
on Steve's now.
It is one seed a piece so far.
I really wanted to just take us back to that first seed to one of the things I wanted
to analyze really quickly in the old world.
Now notice, EDCR's inventory at this very moment in time, he has nine logs, a stack
of blocks, some TNT, a little bit of food, and some Ors.
However, the crafting here is something that I really wanted to pick out.
And now even though we know that these guys crafting is insane at this point in time,
I think the decisions for the crafting may not have been ideal now, obviously these
are insanely fast. But if we have a look here, I personally am a little bit
perplexed as to why EDCR decided to go for the wooden shovel here. I think
that maybe this would make sense if we were in something like a shipwreck
overworld because we would need to get more blocks in such. However, given the
fact that we have six iron here, it would make a lot of sense if we used one
I end to make a shovel and then use the other remaining five to make our bucket and our
Flint and steel. In this place we've actually made a wooden shovel and the wooden shovel is actually
going to cause us a little bit of a problem. As we saw in the old world had to grind quite
extensively in the gravel even after blowing it up with TNT. Maybe it is here always a little bit
nervous. First game of the day sort of thing. This the six iron is very common place to be seen
for a bucket to give you three, shares requiring two and then your Flint and steel with your final iron.
However, in this spot, given the fact that we already have a stack of blocks, the leaves are so much
less necessary. And I wanted to just bring that up really early because I think that did cause
EDCR to enter the neather substantially later and allowed these to retain that advantage just about
until the end of the seed.
But in that second seed, EDCR's overworld
was absolutely nuts.
Now, the small thing that you would possibly pick up on
is what the commentator did pick up on.
In the fact that they did not pick up the gold in God.
But that doesn't really seem to matter.
As you can see here, notice he does go down
to get the stone axe, but again,
leaving once he's crafted his initial tools,
leaving exactly six iron, just like he did last time.
except in this situation, it makes a lot more sense,
because that allows him to make the shares
and the bucket saving one for the flint and steel.
This allowed him to go absolutely nuts on the trees,
get a bunch of leaves, which helped him out
traversing in the neather,
obviously the commentator's already picked up on the fact
that these runners are really, really impressive
with their neather terrain management.
But also, he grabbed a little bit less wood
than his opponent, allowing him to leave the island
substantially earlier, getting into the neather faster
However, Steve did leave the bastion slightly faster.
But after scanning, unfortunately,
Steve's terrain decision to go down and left here
was not optimal.
Unfortunately, locking him off taking him a long while
to actually navigate towards the fortress,
allowing EDCR to re-take the lead at that moment in time.
And obviously, this run went very back and forth
throughout EDCR ending up getting second to the stronghold,
but entering the end first, also entering the fortress first.
It was literally back and forth as you guys saw
in the splits there.
But I'm not gonna hold you guys out any longer.
I know that you guys really wanna watch this third seed.
So I'm gonna send you guys back over
to the commentators right about now.
Thank you so much, Fulham.
For the expert analysis.
I mean, this is a one to one match up so far.
Parker, it is the number one seed.
Now, I wouldn't say 80 stars back as against the wall,
but for a moment there in that second scene,
it really looked like he could be down to,
oh, what do you think EDCR really has to walk in on here
to make sure he doesn't get upset again?
I think it's just the overall flow of the gameplay,
we've seen a couple of micro mistakes with that shovel,
we've seen a mistake from Steve's with maybe
forgetting the pressure play.
And so if you can just iron out those small mistakes
and just kind of lock in and play your game,
I mean, these players are great.
And I think if EDCR does that, that's his line to victory.
Yeah, absolutely agree.
This is going to be a really interesting matchup
between these two runners.
Why don't we throw it over to the sea flesh and sea?
What we're going to, it's going to be ruin a portal,
Parker.
It's going to be ruin portal now.
This is probably what Steve wanted.
We're going into this.
This is a linear seed.
We could see the mechanics on display from Steve's,
but realistically, I mean, the mechanics from both runners
have been crazy and as we saw in the original screen, EDICR has a sub 9 average on
room.
So I think this is really a 50-50.
Yeah, as well as those wind percentages, I mean, we're just looking to wind percentages.
What I recall, I think this is a series of worse percentage, maybe even in the 40s and
EDICR had something in the 70s.
So though maybe Steve is having that top speed and maybe he's feeling more comfortable with
I mean, just raw statistics wise, it could be favoring EDCR 100% yeah, it's just what kind of room portal could also be a big
Decider if it's one of those like crazy
Normal completions, like we saw a five-mode lose like 10 or so seconds of that yesterday like that can be something if it's something more linear
It could be something that could potentially favor sees, but
Could it see what it's gonna be we're gonna see now looks like a forest one there is a a lot of love of it
Is there gonna be four of sitting in this chest to complete the normal?
No, Marker, it is a bucket completion,
and not only is it a bucket completion,
but no iron pickaxe.
This should still be pretty good.
We can make our iron, I guess we know we do a bucket,
and then we can do gold ax,
so we can get our wood fast,
we can get a lot of blocks.
There's cows here, which is really nice,
and there's water on the way.
So if you play this perfectly,
it shouldn't be a terribly slow room portal seat.
No, 100% I think what's really gonna matter
is like, where are we getting our iron, right?
So for anyone who might not know,
bastion chests are guaranteed,
like in the bastion itself, there is one chest
that will be guaranteed to have at least the rear end of it.
So that's what these runners are gonna be looking out for.
Now, obviously on the way that you can get other chests
that maybe have one iron in it
or just a couple nuggets and that can also be helpful,
especially when you're entering with these two extra ingas.
We see neither player making shears.
So each arm messing up the cow bucket,
put the flint and steel in the bucket spot.
That's going to be a whole cow loss that could matter.
We'll see what the another spot on is,
but both runners getting here now,
we're going to see the room portal completion.
No, actually, we're going to see just in the,
the lava pool, neither player going for the ruin portal completion,
which I find a little bit surprising.
There is one second behind.
Oh, I missed that.
Yeah, I was just making a little bit awkward.
I thought we were making a starting hard.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you might have to mind it.
And here's the EDCR's food situation.
These also losing a cow to the water only has three state.
If you see our offending is gap, although, so not sure what his state situation is looking like.
And look at this, totally different other provisions, yeah, one, two, one, two, one.
A different terrain decisions.
I really like this terrain decisions from season because remember, we have to get these
chests, right? So going directly to the triple here is so nice.
But what E to C R is doing is playing a little bit more consistently seems to be making the
gold helmet before heading up here.
Steve's playing a little bit more risky and is literally one nugget off the iron ain't get that he needs for the last bit and is actually checking the piglet trade
Sear which I don't love as a play. EDCR going straight for the loadstone chest
Gonna get two nuggets there, which is enough for Steve's who already checked the other two chests
But EDCR hasn't checked the triple yet, but that is the iron chest on the other side of the single forum
So both of these players are gonna be heading to the chalice now. Steve's slightly ahead
Crazy decision making in the bastion too completely different routing, but we're basically at the challenge at the same time
Yeah, it's so hard keeping track of everything there. They're so close at this point. We see the fortress. I'm not sure what you
Serious this thought process was with checking the chest and the the ingots for getting his iron pick
But I guess it doesn't matter. I shouldn't focus on it too much as steers is now going to start is route
Yeah, I think each jar like my gosh
I mean, the thought process was like, I know I'm going to do a donkey Kong ask route.
What is, oh, look at his, though, curry lava.
Yeah, so a little bit of re-handing this.
I would imagine it was done this before, like this is like, we have to just deal with the lava here.
So we're, it's going to work.
I'm curious.
I love this.
That I love it.
It's very creative.
Like, I don't, it's a working, though.
Oh, no, get not a lot of pigs and three pigs curry.
He is three pigs.
They're stuck in love because they can't get around and the eating show is also only on three hearts right now.
One. Oh my gosh.
This is looking really bad for EDCR.
I respect the play to be more creative.
I love to see it.
But you just forgot to make his bridge one further out from the lobby.
Even if you have a bridge that looks clean,
the piglins will not have to find to it unless they have like a full space of clearance.
Yeah, so I've been scared in them there.
he might get some picks from lower though and that'll be nice but steas is closer
is he close to I'm trying to go to the fort as well I was going to mention that next
like his trading hole is less than a part like it's right here like gave me your
has been way better terrain and is out and is fully out and I think Parker I think this
might be like a minute ahead of the E.D.S.R. right now like he sure has to get so many
trades so actually big ones just kind of locked it on the pearls low key so maybe it's
not as bad as I just thought, but only 18 steas has one T9 pearls. That's the difference
here, but each of them might not have a choice besides having to go, because one more
pearl trade is lying on that, picks up the golden is out. So, does it stack? Yeah,
that stack of untreated gold. So, really, really pushing the limits here, really pushing the
speed. He knows these behind. He can see that does advancements in the top right. You know,
steas is in the fortress. He's like, all right, steas is going to be locked in with these
pre-crafting because he's already on five rods. EDCR needs to speed up here. He's going to be
perling till it looks like another spawner, so potentially he makes at some time here,
but I think the main setback, it's just going to be the pre-crafting because the rates are so good.
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, it's going to be so interesting to see what happens here. Looks like
ED, he's already has six rods though, so it's going to be blinding and also if an Ibrakesy
has blazes to kill already here. Meanwhile, EDCR just getting the build out for no.
I'm sorry, I thought he was extending his platform Parker, but he's just building
his dad.
Oh, I won the platform.
Well, building the portal.
He's actually just, he's tasked.
He's tasked.
This is actually beautiful.
The drag, looking at me, he's literally quite literally
query placing blocks as fast as Minecraft can register at there.
Well, overlapping it.
That was beautiful.
But I don't know how much it's going to matter on this seed.
Certainly because he's has all of his rods.
He's purling and we're sub six curry.
I mean, this is so aggressive. I'm seeing honestly what I'm really liking about Steve's game play
He does not has a tape parker like it really reminds me of like a low-key ask player where it doesn't even you can't even process if he's making an incorrect play
Everything that he's doing is like he is just immediately making a decision and that's like so important in Minecraft
We don't even like there's no time if you hesitate on like oh does this decision save me one second if it takes you two seconds to make it like he is
locked in at the port of build at 6-10
Eats your pre-crafting now, but so much less exposed because of the lack of wood and that could be a huge deciding factor in Eats as steas is pre-emptive in
Yeah, phenomenal point. I loved liking it to to low-key style of gameplay here
You know if there's other runners in this tournament watching this gameplay right now
They're going to be like, oh my gosh,
stees, even though he's a newcomer,
he's kind of cracked up the wall zoo right here.
Part of my language, he's going off the rails.
Yeah, Parker Parker skipped media training on that one.
That's a great lesson here.
But I mean, this has to be it.
Like, the mind shaft is getting a little bit awkward.
And East, you're also missed by the way, Parker.
I had to dig into the staircase.
No great spike.
This is a similar spot that we were last seen.
Is this going to be it?
It is a weird backwards now for stees.
He's in the portal room, each jar, nowhere close.
And I mean, this is, if he's hit this,
he can take his time.
He's got a billion beds.
He's got a billion beds, but maybe
he can't push this high of a height,
because he can't throw three pearls.
And he's just your has to hunger reset.
This is actually, he might,
and this is going to be 90 at the highest parker.
Yes.
We're going to get to 90.
The build, does the dragon fly is really the play here.
Look at that double bed.
It should be fine and it stays. Oh, but you
Barely get
It's he's on two hearts and he's just taking a while to hit these last couple shots so Parker
I think you might have to follow with this point
He doesn't have to follow though. He missed the drag and take down how many arrows does this guy have can he catch up here?
Even though he's trying to push his arm. Oh my gosh. Oh, no, it's flying around. Oh my god. I thought I was going to purge it look like I'm going to
Know it's really it's basically just a purchase
Both players are just waiting for the dragon perch. I believe E.D.C.R. still has enough explosives to kill the dragon. I think he is for so I think he's gonna be fine
But steas is so low.
Ali has four arrows left.
This could be a turn in personal for eating.
Oh my gosh.
This is an insane end fighting.
Steas has to break all the crystals, I think,
because of the low health.
I don't think you can do three beds with this armor.
So it's really scary here.
Awesome, it doesn't have a bow.
So he's over to a tower so that he can my God.
fall down without taking damage. And ECR, now climbing a tower, both of these players
still waiting for a perch. It's basically just a perch race at this point.
Sees is giving me a very scary watch his screen as he's getting it. Try the ones like,
this is the problem. So yeah, E, E, E is has to hit like a three bed at this point, but only
has to help out two beds. And E, C, R has to hit a four bed, but only has to help for three beds.
So we're in a spot right now. We're one of these players could totally die and we could be here for
It's like I can't overstate that. Like that is honestly maybe the most likely scenario
Loki like that is genuinely what we're looking at and eat is your hits a three-bed
accent playoffs that would be absurd. The purchase is your snap. Pass to hit this.
How's the crossbow ready? Gonna try and do some crazy double bed maybe.
Oh my gosh, I don't think I have to wait for another perch. I don't think it's enough either.
Parker, I don't think he has a lot of crystals now. I think that's oh my god
So I think he has the die and I think the dragon perch for steas has been too long
So I think steas is gonna die on his dragon perch which is out behind now it flips
Oh my god, oh my god, had the extra help. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god, oh one more. I guess wow
The cow.
Hurry, that would have been so much different.
If the decimal points of his health were just like one or two different,
he didn't take damage on that second one.
The decimal points of health, the literal extra armor bar difference,
happened armor bar to two armor bars.
It's also so rare to have two armor bars even matter.
Having two armor bars even matter is so crazy.
So like I would say that's less than a 50% chance. Steve's had to play for it knew we had to play for it and
Parker these players entered the end of seven minutes
What of the mental end fight from both of these players mental is the best word?
I could think for oh my gosh, I thought for a second. Maybe totally crazy. I thought oh
My goodness. I mean they both entered the Nether and nearly the same time
The third bridge bastion in a row, by the way,
in this matchup for these players.
So we've hopefully seen bridge so far,
seeing how they're handling that
is absolutely crazy.
I mean, this has been an unbelievable matchup
so far, Parker.
And now the number one seed is down to his last life.
And Steve, who was picked the first pick
from L.C.C. went through all of L.C.C.
you just to get picked first by E.C.R.
now is the chance to upset him and move on
to the quarter-finals.
Yes, these are looking really solid with the gameplay.
We've seen them ahead probably more than EDCR has been
ahead and basically all of these matches.
He really clutched out on that last seat.
I mean, how do you think that feels?
Like, you're in your first play, however,
you're versing the rank one seed.
Both of you fail as you are.
You don't know if your opponent's gonna win a play
Sunday by the way.
And your close friends, you survive on half a heart
with an amazing clutch.
I mean, that's got to put some confidence in you.
I'd say it's just a crazy match.
I've like this has been an unreal match with so far.
And now that the bands are open,
EDSR is picking Desert Temple.
This is original first-hand lost at the steas,
but really only lost it on the Overworld,
had a tough time finding gravel.
It made up a ton of time later on.
I think EDSR really likes playing with CNC,
really likes playing with the hood style of a Desert Temple.
I think this is a really smart pick,
And this is best chance to get back to a game five in this matchup.
Yeah, I totally agree.
I think overall he is more solid with this.
I think potentially it was the first seed that he's played in this playoff, that
Desert Temple that he lost.
And it really was just that flint mistake, potentially, the shovel craft as well, the
cost in the entire seed.
And so if he doesn't make him a stake like that in the overall, we might see a like
So he'd be staring ahead of skis for once.
Yeah, I mean, that's definitely what he's banking on.
I mean, both of these players, like I can't express enough
how enjoyable of a match this has been to watch.
Like the mechanics, the creativity that both of these players
are putting on display is so refreshing.
And I really love the play style that is coming out.
So I think really whoever ends up winning this match
is just going to be so deserving.
I'm really excited to see.
I really hope we get through a game five.
And here we go.
We'll see what temple we get for both these runners.
Yeah, maybe we'll get another notch apple, potentially
food situation could matter a bunch.
They'll the both be doing the same sort of team.
T set up here.
Let's see.
Rotten flesh.
One diamond.
So no diamond pickaxe again, unfortunately,
the curse is the street.
Yeah, over.
Two seeds in a row, like what the heck?
There's no diamond pick unlucky for us.
But it looks like I haven't seen a lot of people
yet, each year, trying to do some crazy movement.
We did see the river over here.
So make sense.
We're both going to head over here,
probably detonate some type of TNT on gravel,
pretty much immediately.
At least that's what Steve is doing.
At least you are deciding not to.
Maybe focusing on trees first.
I'm unsure why you don't want to go for this giant gravel patch,
but wants to focus on a tree first.
Also has some cows in another gravel patch.
I would be pretty surprised if either runner grabs food
but maybe because these cows are legit right here.
They do, especially without golden apples,
but still in a lava blighter parker.
Yeah, the terrain isn't super favorable for visibility.
So I think you're right, I don't think either player
is seen it yet.
We'll start to see these players be scanning
or the lava pool.
And this could be the big decision maker here.
These going for some extra food.
Interesting.
And extra, what is well, I mean,
that's a big difference.
I mean, we literally saw last year,
like, any start would have been able to hit that zero
probably if he had the extra wood for a couple more beds,
I think might have had the hell of a wooden scary,
but eating a little.
Oh my goodness gracious, yeah.
Just worth of them.
Clean portals, it'll be answering a very similar time here.
But I think Steve does have one extra good food.
Wow, you're a senior seed.
You're a senior seed.
Very linear seed.
How does he end up right here?
Fortress on the way.
We see both these runners pretty much at the triple immediately,
But Steve's again, a different route.
Also gets blocked off, tries to go through the top hole,
a piglin' in the way.
That's to go for a backup, but plays it very nicely.
But E-S-Jar, with I would say, a sizable eight or so second lead here.
Yeah, and then eight or second or so lead can really matter on this seed.
There's not, it can be a decision you can make up time with,
getting to the fortress.
It's literally just one pro throw away.
If we have fast rates, it's going to be even more punishing.
I think EDIsure looks really comfortable here.
I think having this housing, having this linearity,
and also knowing that you're ahead,
has to feel pretty confident on the seat type that you pick.
The only thing that's really watch out for
is going to be how much does the food difference matter.
Because the fortress is so close,
I actually don't think it'll matter that much.
I think it might end up being a timeless for steers.
I think EDIsure really trying to push the pace here
and be as quick as possible.
I mean, his back is against the wall.
I think that's probably why steers
once I grab the button,
like just a little bit more consistency,
I have this game to play with.
This is what EDCR is backing on.
I completely agree with you, especially because EDCR
is just on raw, higher health here.
So, not gonna have to worry about that as much
whether it's trades like checking both of them now.
Seas on 11, OB, EDCR, 17, 17, 20, to me now.
He's out, he's out, he isn't one fire as,
and that's gonna be the play.
Get's two now, probably gonna leave once the gold maybe,
Looking for a gets it, that's two gold pickaxes.
Seas trading a little bit more,
but again, E.D.S.S. are just having a tiny bit of an edge.
And is this a spawner?
No, just part of the four.
No spawner on the screen yet.
But look at this, Seas didn't mind one extra block
that E.D.S.R did, and so didn't find that better terrain
and so loses a handful more seconds climbing up the bastion
to get his pearl.
But was that a better location,
so only had to throw one pearl instead of two,
and might actually get to the spawner,
before E.C. are a look at this so much back and forth,
E.C. are actually up on the blazes, but
he's at the spawner, but there was four
straight.
E.C. are.
Oh, five.
Five straight.
E.C. are now every second that that he
spends here is time where we're not
blaze betting.
We're not detonating anything, but
look at all the time that Steve has to
spend clearing out this lava just to go
where we just, we're going to go to a
different spawner.
So maybe E.C. are Cs this too.
He shows them several episodes and it just doesn't know just what I'm saying for variants now
That look at work look at a time as well curry for 40 or having all your rods
I don't think he's pre-crafted yet, but if this is a close stronghold
He can make the gold pixie should be locked in steas is gonna be leaving soon
Three digits nine hundred marker. Yeah. I mean there's not to pick up the eye. It doesn't have the pre-craft yet
but EDI's show again, thousands of games of experience,
knows exactly what to still do in the situation,
hesitating a little bit on where to go.
This buys Steve a little bit of time.
I mean, he only has six rods and his eye goes in the,
there's a mountain parker.
So how to throw another one?
That is tragic.
EDI's show are nearly on chords I just assume.
Wow, that is a really good.
I think is this the biggest lead we've seen from EDI's CR,
possibly entering a stronghold.
he's just getting his final rod. So now he's leaving the EDCR with the gold picks utilizing them well building his portal 530
I don't really know what these bikes look like. That one I guess he's like I think he likes that. Yeah, the like reverse 50 25 25 is a little bit weird could be here looking for light maybe nothing he's in love.
You can tell because it's not corrupted by the cave in any way.
It's a full square rectangle type thing, crafting table.
Oh, and Steve is dead, but you sure doesn't know this.
No CS the crank paste, still has no idea.
Crafting everything he needs right now and is still going to be doing a hungry set.
Setting up for the zero cycle and his mind is no idea.
Has the crank paste as much as possible?
This runback for steas is going to be tough.
This zero for ECR is also going to be a little bit
difficult.
It is back, but open, but it's hard to be tough.
Looks like, Tower 97, he should be able to get here.
Plain time spare, and he's doing multi block.
This is going to be phenomenal damage.
Multiple, like, it's slightly better damage than the regular setups.
But it's a little bit harder to do.
More things to eat track of, but EDCR is going to take
us one and it gets it and eating stars taking us to a game five Parker what a
way to build back your confidence nearly a sub seven time and he's not
having that the dragon did one more extra rotation. But what a time what a
runback and this game is going to a game of five. Wow that's a fast
That's faster than I have ever completed this seed.
Love the seed of the family.
Nice work EDCR.
I think this is a great confidence booster for him.
Really setting him up for some good game play in this last seed.
You know, we've seen a couple of mistakes from EDCR,
but this one, this seed was clean.
The seed was, no, that was crazy.
Honestly, I honestly missed how Steve's died.
I don't know if it was like, I thought I could have not gotten a call.
I think he was in a two by, like a one by one potentially.
I'm not sure that you're champions.
I'm not 100% I know we are going to eventually
go to a full analysis.
Fullman is not ready right now.
But I'm sure full and we'll show us how E-stees
died or show us some other cool epic thing
that has happened in the last two seeds.
But even Parker, we're going to a game five.
It is going to be stees' map pick.
Do you think from what you've seen today,
you would pick anything specific,
or you kind of just go on and think whatever
your most comfortable with?
Probably is instinct, whatever our most come for rule of maybe
picking a seed that you've won on. I guess doesn't tempo really didn't work out for him there.
I don't know, honestly. I really don't know. It is tough. The seed bands are off the board,
but before you figure out what seeds is going to pick, we are going to head it over to full him.
Like we said, for some analysis, full them. We got for us.
It's time to go back a seed real fast. We're going to go back to that seed thread. You guys remember
when we enter the end around seven minutes and it took three minutes to kill the dragon.
Let us quickly recap exactly what happened here. I know the commentators were going
absolutely crazy and I know we have a lot of brand new viewers this season that might be a
little bit confused as to exactly why this happened now for all of my MCSR veterans. You
probably already know this so I apologize if it's repeating for you but I know there's a lot of new
people and a lot of people might not understand exactly what's going on. Now this is this is
These is a point of view, he's about to set up for the one cycle, bear in mind, he's
on one and a half harts and not even able to spring anymore.
He has, as you can see, just above his health points, two bars of armor right here,
two bars of armor and only one and a half harts.
And now notice this first bed, as with the majority of beds, deals him exactly half a
heart of damage, but something that may not be immediately obvious, even though harts
us split up into Hobbes, they're actually split up into further decimals beyond that.
Now, as you can see with his next bed, he takes an amount of damage, but that amount of damage
actually doesn't equate to exactly a half-hot interval, meaning that he doesn't take enough
damage to deal that extra half-hot, allowing him to be able to do one more explosive, which allows
him to kill the dragon as you can see with his axe eventually surviving on just half a
heart, absolutely perfect and that is pretty much exclusively because of previous damage
that he's taken throughout the seed, meaning that you know the decimal value, the hidden
decimal is going to be higher, but also the armor is going to help in this exact situation.
I won't analyse that one too much, but I wanted to talk again about the death because I
know that the commentator is missed it. We were focusing on EDCR, he was in the lead,
But just to recap, just so that the commentator is no exactly what happened here, it was
unfortunately an incident, a moment for Steve that he probably won't want to rewatch.
But we're going to rewatch it just so that everyone knows exactly what was happening.
It's hard to keep the track of two people at the same time.
Finds the location is ready to hit a quick dig down.
And unfortunately, digs down a couple too many blocks at once.
And on half the heart, you can't fall four blocks at once.
It's a very, very unfortunate situation.
Actually digs down as he's falling, meaning that it falls exactly four blocks,
dealing him at that half a heart of damage.
So in one seed, a seed survives with half a heart,
and the next seed dies with half a heart.
And we are going to a seed fight.
I'm going to send you guys straight back to Curian Ratcrap,
but we're going to cover this amazing final seed in this best of five.
Thank you so much for all of them. I'm back with a different camera hoping that this fix is the lag that has been happening because that's been so fun
I apologize for whatever is happening with my camera, but maybe this fixes it maybe it doesn't. I don't know. We're trying something new. Anyway, way cooler than that
Each ever sees game five that's cool people already didn't work. So guess what I'm just going to
Just gonna switch back to the vertical. That's good, but I appreciate the the full of analysis
I didn't see these dying there kind of kind of crazy kind of poetic that he's survived on half a heart and then dies on half heart
What's gonna happen on this next eat is you gonna go down the half heart again?
I don't know I mean it's gonna be interesting for sure. Steve's picking E. D. C. R. Span. I think that is
It's just interesting we haven't seen these players really play ocean. They only have played shipwreck
So that's it. We haven't seen very treasury yet
He started to want to pick it obviously for seed 4. This was banned until seed 4 anyway
So I'm very curious to see what these runners do on very treasure. I'm honestly curious why you see our band
I don't really understand but maybe he's just really not yet. I mean their friends
I think from the stats it was
Jesus PB if I'm mistaken. I might be mistaken
But I think it's a very treasure world record
40. I might be wrong. No, that's probably a little bit too slow
But it was, I'm pretty sure, he's his fastest time was the barrier treasure.
So I think it makes sense for him just picking it, you know, he's got some history with it.
Maybe some good luck. Let's see if he's off.
It'll definitely be interesting.
I'm excited to see both of these players go to Ocean and kind of see what's going on there.
There is also RNG with this two-partner.
Could just be a situation where one person sees their being 20 seconds earlier than the other person.
It could be something where, you know, maybe someone just has it tougher time getting the BT reading.
like it could be really interesting. I think it opens up the line, but BT can also be a very
linear C type where CDs can have an advantage in the speed potentially if that's what
he's playing for. Yeah, let's see it. Big island. Good spike. I'll think probably
can be finding it virtually the same. Not any big decisions here, but we see the
little bumps. We know the BTs right here. And we can see our V-in. I think that's bubbles
some of the distance too. So you're right, this should be a very linear BT. We're not really
going to be happy looking for a ravine unless you don't trust that one that was right next.
Oh, look at, did you see what he's jarred it? Pick up an extra piece of sand before hand was
able to get to the trees earlier. That saves like three seconds really smart from him. We can see
you're five gold, eleven iron pretty much, you have everything that you could want to do everything
with. So it's going to be pretty easy. We'll probably see gold ax into the shears. Yeah, for both
the runners and then if you are correct in them seeing the kelp, this is going to be really fast.
Yeah, especially with that gold axe, EDC are also sharing a sheep, I think,
so maybe even getting a bed pre-crafted before we go into the another. This is a really high
quality berry treasure seed. Steve's also getting that sheep, but in the ocean slightly faster,
so maybe just making it a little bit more time on the pre-crafting, and EDC are going for this
ruin portal. I don't I don't know if I like this. This is a crazy play. Yeah, this is a crazy play. I mean, EDSR doesn't have to mind flint, but
season only had to mind like three, four pieces. It's going to be entering here much earlier now. That was a
risky decision from EDSR in a game five parker. I think you're right. I don't know if I love that. Yeah, I mean, in a different world.
Oh my, where did he get like that to my 30 Flynn.
Oh my goodness.
Yeah, this is awkward, but I mean, in a different world,
that decision does pay off.
So it's not the end of the world,
but in this situation, it's put him a good five or 10 seconds
behind.
This is an awkward stables.
The middle is triple, though.
Steve realizes that it is a little bit varied,
but because EDCR didn't grab the bottom chest,
like Steve's that could have a little bit harder
of a time getting past these piglins.
Is it going to be able to build up in time?
No one's mad at him.
is to be okay, both players nearly
at the triple chest at the same time after that.
But different times, I think,
because unless I'm mistaken,
they're both these, they're all odd.
Did they both get Obby?
Oh, I think so.
I'm pretty sure they're both in the middle triple.
Maybe, well, wait, why?
I don't think EDR has Obby, but Steve says 10.
I think they might be in vain.
I think Steve is in a left triple.
Oh, it's double triple, yeah.
Steve's went to the second triple check for double triple.
Well, it is just doing triple the gap from mid.
You're absolutely right Parker.
I mean, that's a huge variance.
Play that from what we've seen in the last episode.
It's going to make steasers like probably better.
Maybe it was like some terrain that you saw.
It was hard to see to rain.
But I think there was some good terrain out the bottom,
so maybe that's an incentive to play triple the gap.
That bashing around is just lower in general.
But your absolutely right,
steas is just going to be having a fast arat
Look at this so much terrain here at the top it's going to be even better if you can get all the trades here potentially actually
Curry because they've moved in different triples
These got the obsidian which is an incentive to play the faster route
What do you are didn't get the obsidian so besides to play the more gold slower route?
And so I think it makes sense from both of them, but it might end up just favoring steas here because he got the triple with more gold
I mean you I mean more like
Especially in a double triple situation like those two wool that
Both players got from sharing the sheep could matter a lot
Doesn't actually get a hand at mattering because he's gets two stacks of string has everything
You can eat eight beds one anchor to E.C.R's nine-bed to anchor and season the fortress burger
This could be a huge gap on E.C.R. right now because he still needs to get the obi chest that sees God from the double trail. Oh my gosh
Oh my god, he gets another eye just like a lemon or something, but look at this does not have good to rain.
I mean, it's opening up now, but it's just a little bit awkward, and this is so bad for EDCR.
If you lose this, he's out of the match. EDCR is just behind by 10, 15 seconds, maybe just one more is going crazy though.
And I don't think Steve's handled it in the best way. EDCR on very low health,
But he's just now getting the blaze bed off.
If Edes Yark can get maybe an earlier blaze cycle here already got a stray.
I'm unsure if Steve's got any.
Like, this could be much better of a fortress play from Edes Yark.
And then all of a sudden, he's right back in this.
Wow, interesting.
I saw Edes Yark plays a couple extra blocks on that blaze bed to make it just a little bit nicer to kill blaze.
It's never seen that before because I like it here.
But you're right, what are our rodcats that they're both at one.
Not sure how many of you are going back into this, because of how poorly
Steve played the spawner at the start.
I mean, maybe might be a couple of places ahead on that, like maybe one or two
on the on the micro, but he just y'all looked like he was behind by nearly a minute
Parker and it's maybe five seconds at worst.
Yeah, he's he's blinding before Steve's definitely has made up time.
I think they're at a pretty similar place kill count as well measuring what it what does it look like it looks like is that 400
Hard to tell it's definitely that's it's 400 that's this should be a really fast seed
Not gonna be a ton of time to make up here and it could get awkward. Oh my gosh with a skeleton goes through the portal
Beautiful get that guy out of here. Don't mess with our great match because these is taking so much longer the overall to your partner
like this is all time the E.C. are activating the place one of the steas isn't and that's so
that's just so bad that's just so bad for steas believers like E.C. are has somehow crawled back from
to be honest what looked like a really like a huge deficit to be in the lead here
and we'll see if any of them push for strays you know if you're just one rod short and you got
two or three strays at the very edge of your screen that's definitely worth going for and E.C.
here does have these two straight.
Here's the situation.
We'll be running on the Pearl Hang.
I think these might get them as well
because of standardization.
But I'm not sure how go for it like EDCR did.
And all of it, EDCR's wide macro and looking for them,
still needs two more rods.
I mean, this is not a four rods.
And we're literally just waiting for spawn.
We should be getting both of rods here, potentially.
If this one doesn't drop though, it could be bad.
I don't know if Steve is going to get his last four rods here because he's your
killed the two straights.
Steve is your raising render.
I mean, Steve, Steve is so strong.
But it's another spawn immediately.
This last one should drop.
It does.
The pearl hang from E.D.
Shear wasn't amazing, but it's right on Cords Parker.
He might have been in love with it was literally right on Cords.
Steve is also under lava here, which should be very close to Cords as well.
Assuming it was a similar pearl hang, it is.
The portal doesn't put E.D.
She art directly in the stronghold, but Parker, he's also on one and a half,
doesn't have a bed in the hop or right now.
If there's any mob, it could be dangerous.
Wow, this is so close.
This is so close.
This is so close.
This is so scary for E.D.C.R.
It's just one and a half, like a skeleton shot,
you're dead, your playoff's run is over.
I think Steve's going a different direction than E.D.C.R.
if the portal rooms here,
which is, this could be it for E.D.C.R.
E.D.C.R. needs to find this fast,
and he's going the same direction. The steas is now taking one wrong turn has to go here. Look at
how he's breathing for the summer fish to spawn. That was such a slow death. We'll set. It isn't
have many pearls. He's your has to find this portar room now. Otherwise, oh my god, life is going to be
already fine. It. But he's not. But he's like, oh my god. I've been eight second advantage. It's a
lot Parker. I don't know. Like, steas would have to really fumble this geocycle. It's run 99. I believe.
has so much time here. It's gonna be so hard for a New York to make up any time here. I think this is Steve's game to lose the double beds good. It's not great.
It might be a good location.
Wow.
Even if he's there.
Wow.
Oh my gosh.
That is game.
What a crazy set.
EDCR out of the one seed spawn from playoffs.
Steves within insane performance to pull it off.
I think this is the third playoffs in a row parker
where the one seed gets knocked out in the round of 16.
Because it was in the season 7.
EDCR in season 8 and now EDCR again in season 9.
What an unbelievable set.
That was a crazy back and forth seed.
You could see here 30 seconds ahead on enter fortress for steaks.
80 star brings it all back enter strungle first.
Flip loses on the nav 18 seconds to nav Parker.
That's crazy.
That is crazy.
EDCR and his final word,
the tension that he got a zombie spawner.
Maybe you get a, you know, that can't happen.
You just got a spike that throws you off.
If you don't know, zombies spawners have the same preemptive as
the Silver Fist and but steas played light out that entire match
curry. Yeah, I can't I love this place. He did so well. I think steas played
unbelievable and I really think E sharp as well. Like I think like just from watching
I think I don't remember if it was us that commentated his game last season, but I
remember watching it and you could tell the nerves were there. Obviously in a match
of like this, especially going over against your friend, it's going to be
difficult. But I think E sharp played incredibly well. This wasn't something where
like either runner, like gave the game away,
both players played unreal.
Like both players played legitimately unreal,
and it was a really fun, best of five to watch.
I totally agree.
This, this season of playoffs in general,
where we're just getting some really good matches,
I'm absolutely loving it.
And Parker, guess what, I'm so excited,
because now we get the talk to Steve's,
get to interview us,
asking about this match.
I mean, what a crazy set.
I'm super excited.
These first off congratulations you are in your first place. You made it through LCQ just barely
I think you were the fourth person in and now you think that's the one scene. How are you feeling dude?
Um, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I'm not gonna lie. I think I've played five but I think it is definitely a lot better
I think you're kind of unlucky, which is annoying, but I mean that's how the game works. You know, sometimes you would just get unlucky.
Um, yeah, I don't know what to say.
No, it was an absolute, it was crazy to watch both of you.
We were just saying that before we dragged you in late, like you both played at such a high level.
This legitimately felt like a semi-finals kind of match.
Like the level of gameplay was absolutely crazy and just seen you guys play so technically was really impressive.
Talk a little bit about like, did you feel like you had a lot of nerves throughout this tournament?
Did you or throughout this tournament throughout this game?
Like what was kind of, do you feel good doing your last zero there? Like what was kind of going through your head in that last moment in that game five?
I was surprisingly wasn't that nervous?
Um, apparently, that's good.
On that, on that seed, I find this is a zombie swarm in the stronghold, but you do self-actop.
Because I was behind that just insisted some of the first thing I got.
I'd do it lucky, which is a bit unfortunate.
Yeah, I wasn't really feeling that nervous throughout the whole time.
I was really nervous in the first match, but it went away.
You know, you go, you go, you go, you go, you go, you go, you go, okay, all the airspace.
So I remember earlier, we're talking about a little bit about search crafting, and somebody who's been like,
there's your first year of speed running, what's the sort of decision-making thought process behind all of your search crafting?
You're pre-crafting, in particular, at least to me, was looking light out here, like, it's so fast, and I think it really saved you some time on one or two of the seeds.
Yeah so I first like think like Danish which isn't a great language but compared to others
yeah and then I really found kind of like I love the optimization of it and so I looked into more languages and then I found
the Irish and yeah I think I do make up at least a lot of time on like fastheats on people
just because I spent like I think I've like 60 hours on the craft them up
I mean, it's us.
I'd say I've got it.
It goes up and you can see it.
Yeah, I think that mindset of really just optimizing and diving into these like little niche
scenarios. That's like really what separates some good runners from some great runners.
And I think you're proving yourself as a great runner here.
Yeah, absolutely.
What is your favorite part would you say about like speed running itself?
is it like the mechanical expression that you kind of get to have? Because from an outside
point of view, that's kind of what I would guess. Yeah, I love but like everything just
like flows together. And then like when you're like when you're like when you're my
comics, like it just flows so nice. Was there a moment in in these set of matches that you
felt like it was that flow? You're like, oh my gosh, that moment. I think yeah. I think the
I felt really clean, I felt really clean on the road.
Except for that one.
Oh, great.
Oh, yeah.
That's a good one.
Yeah.
We don't have to worry about that.
Now that you want it's like, oh, it just happens.
It's all good.
You have the privilege and honor.
You know, you just need to use your other one seed.
So you have a really excellent choice.
Yeah.
Now you're going to go back.
Yeah.
Let me do this.
Let's go.
How do you feel about going straight from east yard?
Now you get to play hockey.
I have you know, it's that is that field I mean he just won't play else
It's kind of hard to just hot take is pretty good at the game
Yeah, I'm going to invite you know anything in half of them
Probably good enough to what some seats
No absolutely I mean you you did a you did an amazing job today. I mean Parker you got anything else for him. I mean what I wanted what I
run. What a match. Yeah, no, I don't think so. I dressed up. Keep practicing. We'll see you
next week. I guess for your match. Thanks. Yeah. Awesome. Thank you, Sees.
Well, Holy smokes. What an interview. I see you could tell he was like super pumped. Like you
tell he's yeah. Yeah. Super happy. And we got another great match. You want to talk about something
that could also be enough. We got do guy like two-time playoff winner going up against HGMI
cables who made it through LCQ. This is going to be a pretty awesome matchup and I'm very
excited about kind of what we are going to see here. Any early predictions on anything you're
going to see where this matchboard had to a quick intermission? Anything you did? Think
of yours a little tease, a little like Steve Tee's, how much is script? Should I review
a lecture I talk about the ruined portal with the the seven G carrots and pick into
another, like, fashion, I don't know.
I don't know.
I think you don't go to a game five, though.
Whoa, game five, okay.
Okay, so what we're gonna do is we're gonna send it
to a quick and emission run some ads just so we get that
out of the way that you want to deal with it
for the next matches.
And surely in this agreement in an emission,
we'll have a wonderful camera fix.
I am truly sorry, you know, quickly speaking candidly,
last production is something that I care a lot about,
and I don't know why this has happened,
and we've just been trying to deal with it.
So I appreciate the patience.
I hope it doesn't take away from the incredible gameplay
that we're seeing.
We're going to send it to a quick break and we back for the due-guile HDMI cables matchup.
And what's the point of this game?
Welcome back everyone to season nine of the MCSR rank playoffs.
It's me again, Curriway.
Maybe talking in the void with Parker Rekhrap ready for the matchup between due
Gile and HCI cables.
And we're not gonna wait for anything.
How is it fixed?
That makes literally no sense, because I'm gonna tell you right now.
I'm breaking the fourth wall of production which we tried not to do as much the season.
But literally, we were going to go to another break to do the interview and I was going to legit plug in a whole other mixer for myself and try and fix all the stuff.
So now I'm not going to do that. So now I'm just not going to do that. I don't know, whatever.
It's not perfect, but it's way better. Maybe I will sub to it.
Anyway, thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I guess computer.
Anyway, what we're going to be doing is we're going to head into an interview with HDMI cable because
Because for anyone who doesn't know, or maybe this is their first playoffs, this is HGMI's first ever playoffs.
Two gallons of season veteran.
And we always like to hear from new players like we just did with EDCR and Steve.
So what we're going to do, we're going to send it to an interview with HGMI cables and learn more about our newest playoff competitor.
On HGMI cables, 19 years old, I'm putting another lens.
I've been speedrunning for almost two years and a little bit.
And it's honestly, it doesn't feel real, the plane's tournament.
I didn't think I would make it at 3LCQ, but now I'm here.
So I remember we actually...
So I've been playing Minecraft since July 2015.
So like I started playing one out of like 9 or 8.
I mainly started with high pixel and Q-Pref.
And I got really good at egg wars.
And that kind of made me a very competitive Minecraft player.
And then to get into speedrunning, I met my friend, the AirPods, and he had, I think, a
14 minute time. And I mean, I was competitive first and I was, I started speedrunning to try and beat
his time, because like, I don't want to be slower than my friend. I really focused on that. And then
I think in a month or two or something, I beat his time. And then kind of had this friendly rivalry
until where I am now, and he has a 757, and I have a 756.
When I started, I mainly watched Hacks, and for the first part of when I started speedrunning,
I message Hacks, asking him for coaching, and for a while he backed me, and he really helped me improve
with getting better after game, and I got pretty quick because of him, and now I'm here in
way off with hacks and that's just that's like the weirdest feeling I started watching
someone and then now I'm playing with them in this high-rank tournament that just feels
it's just feels so surreal so I'm really happy with how this all came to I think I sent them
a 940 end in there in Arashii when I got there and he would just say oh this is what I would do
and this is how you loot the shipwreck slightly faster and you should get a better ordering in
in your hop bar and it was mainly focusing on like very micro stuff. And I think that's why I think
I focused more on micro optimizing. I think my macro is definitely the worst thing about my gameplay
and my micro is a lot better because Hax kind of got me in that mindset of micro.
In my head, do that was like top 3, no matter what. Actually, I think it's like top 5 and then you
you can just switch the around and whatever order.
It's like EDCER and Fume, hacks, Dugal, Loki.
Those are just all on the same level in my mind.
So I really didn't want to play any of them.
And I mean, first round pick by Dugal.
It's really scary, but to be honest,
it's going to be hard no matter what.
Top 16 runners in the world.
It's going to be hard no matter who you get picked by.
It's kind of an interesting thing
because Timberg said after the picks,
he said like, it doesn't really matter who you pick
because you're going to be playing a better player
after that anyway.
Like, if I didn't face Bubell now,
I would probably face them later,
or I would have faced hacks, or someone crazy like that.
It would have been hard anyway.
It means a lot, especially because I think I've had
insanely high potential in my skill for a while.
And I feel like for the past year,
I've had almost no feedback on that.
And then now, it's finally get first in L.C.C.U
and make it through playoffs.
and almost be first through the whole LCKU.
Like I have finally got some feedback how I skill
and that definitely means a lot to me.
To finally see that I'm actually good at the game still
because I've definitely had thoughts about quitting
because I'm like, I don't think I'll be able to do this
because I like being good at things.
It's annoying to me if I put in all this time
like I play every day and I try to focus and learn things
and then I don't play well during the season.
I don't call through LGBTQ, just feels bad.
So I'm so happy I got through.
It just means so much to me that I finally made it through.
And I get some feedback on my gameplay.
And hopefully this keeps going in the next season as well.
Thank you so much, HDMI cables.
I think it's really cool.
And I think it's a testament to our community,
like the Minecraft computer and community, that like,
a top runner like hacks is like, yeah, like I'll teach you how to do this stuff.
I have a little bit of extra time right now.
Like I think that's so cool that our community is so willing to help others and not gate
keep and I just think that's awesome.
I think it's so cool.
Yeah, I just want a second that opinion or like we just seem like throughout the entire
playoffs, like several people mentioned like the friend groups that they're part of and
the people that you interact with, it's just like a community at the end of the day.
So like shut all all of you for showing up to watch anybody who's
new, like, feel free to get into the speedrunning community, try it out, watch the streamers,
learn all this stuff. It's awesome. And then we can come together every couple of months and
watch these amazing players compete at that. Yeah, no, it's absolutely, it's absolutely crazy. It
is a testament to the community. I am super pumped to see this match up. Before we do,
shout out to two editors that have worked on the things you've seen so far today. Not even
the trailer in the beginning, which I know everyone loves. And then the last interview, I don't
remember if I said it, but shout out to Lucky for doing the interview for or doing the editing,
and excuse me for the EDCR and the Steve's matchup,
then this one was edited by Beetle.
All people that maybe if you're in the NCSR community
as well, you might even recognize and know in their names
because there are just so many people in this community
make this a bad happen.
But I'm super excited for this match
in between due-gile and HGMI cables.
Let's get to the stats.
Let's see what's going on here.
Due-gile has one of the most impressive recipes.
Reson, it can be a recipe and recipe for success.
Reson, it can be a success.
I mean, it's a very hard person to beat, specifically with pretty much everything we're seeing here.
Yes, a hundred percent. I mean, we're seeing some good stats from HMI cables, though. I like that he was mentioning.
he was feeling almost like he wasn't getting feedback.
Like he had this like top speed,
but he just wasn't like seeing any results.
And I've been like seeing that in his stats,
you know, like ranked average time.
I think the season before this he had a similar one,
like low 10 minute, that's very high level competitive,
but he just hasn't made it into these big tournaments,
but now he has.
And I think we're about to see some very solid game play.
As well as he has a seven XX and now RSG,
I'm feeling like that.
That's crazy impressive.
That's a crazy and present time.
A sub seven in ranked as well.
You still haven't really played a lot.
Just time difference.
I mean, do go is West Coast, HMI cables is EU.
So that's not a lot to go off of there,
but very impressive on both sides.
And again, I think the most pressing thing
by HMI cables is really the run that he just had in LCQ.
We can take a look at the stats here.
I mean, do go as they're always just off the charts.
Eight people.
What?
Oh my God.
Is it just?
Even the room portal is like like uncomfortable like that's like really inventing rain
That's like another ride plus bro. That's that's a crazy
Oh my god. I mean, I mean, it's really scared to look at
It's really scared to look at but I think also like actually my cables
I mean, we see a couple of these other lower seats come in and it's like oh we have like a 49 somewhere
are like, oh, we like,
Steve's last, last round had like a 44 in the room world.
HDMI cable is very consistent across the board
and that that could be a strength,
but do you guys, like,
like, each of my cables kind of stood in the interview,
like, do you guys is a player that's just so good?
And I think the things that HDMI cables are also,
is going to be strong with as well.
Like, do you guys are also going to be really strong with?
So it's going to be really difficult matchup,
but, I mean, E-D-S-R just got knocked out by Steve's,
anything that happened in ranked class, anything that can happen.
You're totally right, just one thing to throw off,
Do-gile HMI will be there, maybe HMI will just play raw better than do-gile, you know,
at the end of the day, it really is these handful of seeds, you know,
regardless of all the stats, you have a regardless of all the background that you have.
At the end of the day, it is these matches right here.
You know, if you have bad sleep, maybe you just play worse.
If you, if you're feeling a little sick, maybe you just play worse.
If you get unlucky, maybe you just play worse.
Yeah.
I mean, that's, that's what happens in ranked class.
That's why you play the game, that's why we do a best of five to try and eliminate that as much
possible, but anything can happen and anything will happen.
Duke is going to ban shipwreck and pick Desert Temple.
Well, HDMI cables is banning bullets.
That means the other seeds on the board for games 2 and 3 will be very treasure and
ruined portal.
It will be exciting.
I'm very excited to see Duke off like room portal now because in the 850 average,
like that is just like I just can't get over that is so insane.
But we're going to head to Desert Temple first.
Really excited to see here.
I think Desert Temple, like I would say I've enjoyed watching Desert Temple
I think the lack of food sometimes is just the use of TNT makes them so excited to me.
I agree, especially with the teensy portals I remember yesterday, silver having that
beautiful TNT portal. I want to see some more of that.
Yeah, we've had an enchanted golden apple today. It didn't make a huge difference
because they just saved it until the end and didn't even need it. But we might see
some crazy funky place here. Absolutely. It's going to be an exciting match of
that I'm sure we're gonna hop into it very shortly.
This is gonna be a great match between one runner,
established two-time winner, one runner here,
to try and make a name for themselves,
and it's gonna be a great matchup.
Oh, my goodness gracious Parker.
Now we have no predictions, you have a prediction?
I think, I think Doug is gonna win the first two seats.
Then H1 is gonna win one,
and then I'm gonna take back what I said earlier,
I think Doug's gonna win the next one.
Oh, so we're lying in the commentary booth.
Some lying.
Yeah.
No, I got to like, I'm sorry.
I gotta keep the viewers on a toes.
Like, can't remember being revealing the script all the time,
or do a half a time, then they don't know like, what's coming,
you know, all to keep them on that this.
That's fair.
No, that's valid.
And here we go.
I'm at Parker.
This is a dozen people seen where I've seen the lava pool.
I've seen where they're getting gravel.
And I've seen where they're potentially getting food and wood.
So this could be a very linear, overworld.
And we can get a good glimpse immediately
about what the mechanics from these two players
can look like. Yeah, not sure if either of them were practicing before and I imagine both of them
have been practicing for at least an hour. That's probably just a good amount of time to get hands
warmed up. The decision making warmed up both of them on lock here checking out all their items
from the hop-r as they're leaving the dozen temple. And look at my job. That was awesome.
Yeah. They just might be a little bit more aggressive. Well, I think just due to a little bit
more aggressively, both players be lining for the split. Do you like the two dollars using more of
of the sandstone and trying to save the cobblestone for whatever he might potentially
want that for.
All organized and driven to raise something to really watch in this matchup.
I think due giles inventory management is so criminally underrated.
I think he's one of if not the best player in the world right now.
I just organize and keeping everything exactly how he wants to throughout seeds and I'm
really excited to see how that's going to play out in this best of five.
We see the stone swordcraft from duegile that's going to help him a little bit in the four.
I don't think we saw that from H.K.
in my cables, I know not everybody doesn't,
but it has been becoming a bit more of a trend.
And it looks like both of them are going for a cow kill.
Yes, the, oh my god, new game,
carry way, HDMI can be having a little bit of a trouble
with the cow, do you guys have a little bit better luck,
but E, my god, HDMI cables, letters aren't even close,
but HDMI cables building the portal first,
do you got them not too far behind?
Yeah, it makes up just a little bit of time here.
It's not anything crazy,
I don't think it seems shocking to the mentals at all.
But maybe it puts a slight pressure.
Dude messes up his portal, one block out here.
I love that like last little like place the water
and the lava on the same spot.
It's so scary to me, but I love it.
Yeah, well, we also see H.C.
My cable does see the fort on his left.
Looks like it's a bit of a journey to this bastion, though.
Dude is going to see the fort as well.
I mean, this is a good confidence boost
if you're H.D. in my, it's your first rank class.
You're in the, you're in the net at first.
It's time to lock it and see what you can do.
He's out of a couple hiccups with the movement though.
It's a bit of fall damage that he didn't want to.
We even saw a mouse shake.
So maybe that's thrown off his move a little bit.
If there's one player who's got a reputation
of a movement, it would be due dialed
having basically every single world record in speed
bridging at some point.
And as now at the bastion before HDMI cables,
I think maybe potentially we're seeing some first playoffs
nerves from HDMI cables here.
It's nothing crazy, but if you have a five second
If you're five seconds behind, do go. I mean, let's do go. That's not not problem. It is a stable
triple here, unsure. Do go. Two and a half though, messing up my hand later, is going to be okay,
barely has the already check the chest. Has the stake has to waste one now, though. Has so much
more stake than HDMI cables though, so has a little bit of leeway on the amount of damage that he's
is taken so far.
Do Gal's starting the triple the gap route.
Ready to go very cleanly done from HMI cables also starting,
but not as many takes it seems,
could be a little bit scary in that regard.
Do Gal seems to have so many more at the moment.
Also opens it up very cleanly done from due
because HMI cables is about five or so seconds behind right now.
Also behind on the food situation.
Oh, I'm so bad.
I'm done, I'm done, I'm done, I'm done, oh my gosh.
Oh wow, so bad.
Not was so quick.
I mean, it just went from five and a half to two and a half
to have a heart to your dead, just like that.
I mean, sometimes the piglins can just combo you.
It's a very scary part there.
That's like the last real bit of triple to gap
as a route that can be really scary.
That last little bit.
And if you don't throw the gold, the exact right way
or the piglins just don't look at it.
At a certain way, it can be scary.
And HMI is going to have a really difficult run back
is like you're the CA and I mean down to four hearts already,
no blocks, no nothing, it's gonna be a really hard run back.
Yeah, taking even more fall damage,
like you do have the pick-ups trading where you died,
but he's gonna need to get some gold back.
He's gonna need to not really take any damage
because he's only on three and a half hearts now.
And meanwhile, do go, there's gonna be done with his route
soon, he's leaving now, Curry.
Yeah, I mean, it's going to be really interesting to see, like I don't think there's any really
HTML tables can do here.
How's that?
Has it basically hit this jump?
This is like a crazy park format, ask jump that he's going to have to do.
Do you got it?
19 hobby.
One short, I almost thought he left some in the chest, but maybe I'm just a little bit slow
on seeing if he actually got it or not, but we're going to check this last chest.
No hobby there.
stuff 11 19. See, playing home portal? No, he's going to check from more.
Jess. I mean, I don't know if it's going to pop the other. Yeah, checking. Is this the last
chest that he needs to check? Maybe any, that's it. It does get it. It's going to be able to leave.
I mean, that does buy a little bit of time for HDMI cables, but it's just, I don't know if it's
going to be enough here. Do you guys are very aggressive, earlier here? Going to be at the
at this point, H. to my kidals does have all his stuff back, but
should be tough. If you make something get back into this game, as Dugal is heading to this
corner. Yeah, we're not really seeing any mistakes from Dugal here playing
cleanly, staying at the top of his health management. He still has that two
stake as well as 17 rotten flesh. You've got the TNT to do blaze TNT. It's
looking really good for Dugal offense. Yeah, it is. I mean, this is a great spot.
about your two minutes ahead,
you're feeling comfortable, you're the three seed in playoffs.
One of the top seeds,
one of the favorites in this tournament,
and you're playing like it right now.
This is a really good performance from Duke Alsofar.
Good to start the matchup with this.
Organizes it in Tore as I said, really cleanly,
and it's pretty much free crafted already
ready to go with everything you need
to the rest of the seed.
Each of my cables, now looking maybe for a spot
to leave, still needs that,
obviously I think he's gonna need to find that same chest
that do guy old it's probably not going to be making up time there going for an iron
axe pre-craft and I don't even know if he's playing this bashing faster than do go.
So we're going to need to see a major hiccup here for HDMI cables to have any chance that
it's coming back.
Yeah, I mean do go blinding what looked like a pretty slow sea just because the enter took
a little bit and then the terrain to the stables took a while is turning to a pretty fast
one here due to those kind of cranking the second half of the seat. I did just notice
HDMI cables like shifting on the other monitor F5. It seems like the mental's in a good spot.
That's like the most important thing. Like when something like this happens,
you want to make sure that you don't let it affect the rest of your games. It's a best
apply for a reason. Anything can happen. As he's now checking these chests, it seems like the
same order that due aisle does will see if he after he gets the, oh, mess it up the pro hang,
know. That's not going to be great. We're going to go all the way down to the bottom of the
bash and to get that object just if he doesn't. We're going to be looking at a home portal
play because he's not getting the hobby here. What's going to reach my cables head right now. Looks
like he is going to be going to the bottom of the bash and he knows he hasn't got that five
obb chest, which is guaranteed and ranked. Yeah, but if it's not here, is he going to think to check
the gap. Maybe. Oh my goodness. Actually, if I didn't get a
here, pass the check that last chest and also this piglet's
matter because he opened the chest. So this is going to be a
little bit awkward. Has to punch him. Also, I want to our
D could pose some problems as do that. Now. Oh, holy. Yeah,
another hoglin. Do you guys fully heading to cords now? Has the
hobby building the portal now? The result doesn't matter as H.
you might be able to finally ready to leave to the fortress.
But unless this stronghold is an absolute demon parker,
it's looking pretty good for do gobble levers right now.
Yeah, and that looks like a big spike.
I don't know if this is the demon stronghold that HDMI fans
are going to be hoping for that should be up
to the right and it is.
Do you have the entering 830?
What's this you're looking like?
Open.
We have so many explosives.
It's just, it's crazy.
This is a very, this is a free-year vibe.
You guys probably, I probably just go to 99, because he's due guy.
Oh, yeah.
He's going to be pretty standard here.
Plenty of explosives.
And borrowing one of the craziest messed-up zeros
in ranked history, do you know what we'll be taking this
for seed in this best five?
Is double bed should kill the dragon?
The Quattaro!
Oh, wow.
Love the seed.
That's here, you die.
That's going to be a tough one at run back.
So, I mean, HDMI cables didn't have some promising signs there, both has taken a little bit
after the bash, and I think like it's hard to judge splits when we get there after this.
I mean, it's just one game.
That's how you have to look at it, especially first playoffs.
It's incredibly difficult to play under these seven there.
So good to get it out of the way in this first game, bounce back time in the second.
I agree.
I mean, that portal, right before the seed ended, looked good.
I think, you know, HDMI cables definitely has the mechanics to match it.
We'll just see if his decision-making and food management
and health management didn't match that of what you guys
was doing.
Yeah, I mean, absolutely.
This was not a crazy fast-feed-by-ring fly-off
centers.
That was more so again, because of the batch.
And the three-minute batch just put a special in the board
is that closest pretty slow by these runners standard.
So seeing that, and then also the terrain
just wrong, we're going to see an amazing Purdue guy.
So very much to my cable is you got to just shake it off.
Hope this next seed's going to be good.
And guess what?
You get the seed pick eventually.
So that'll be nice, but Dugal looking every bit like the top level competitor that he's been in basically what every rank class pretty much like he's been here.
Yeah, almost every single time.
I think I think he may be missed like one.
I think he's maybe missed like a playoffs if that, but I mean Dugal is always here.
Always a fan favorite always gets people type in the Walter E.
Moats and he looks like he's here, or potentially another rank fan of victory.
Very treasure, okay.
Going to the ocean after stopping off in the desert.
We'll see what kind of food situation we're dealing with here.
Where the magma being is shouldn't be a crazy complex overworld.
But I think this is a comfortable, you know, pretty high quality seed for HDMI cables.
To really hopefully lock in here and just play a clean seed.
We saw a death there that's gotta be shaky, but you've got to death out of the way now.
Let's see if H.D. my cables can plot back and take a seat from Duke.
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, very treasures of the interesting pick.
Do you guys really good at, I mean, well, everything, but I mean, very treasures.
I'm sure that he's going to feel very comfortable with, but I also understand not wanting
to pick room for real here. I think if you're H.D. my cables, I mean, you also have a sub 8 in R.S.G.
I'm sure that was with a very treasures.
I'm sure you're very used to play in these type of seeds.
And if it's what you're more comfortable with,
like I think it's much more important
to trust what you feel like you're good at,
versus what you think your opponent is gonna be good at.
You know what I mean?
100%.
Yeah, we want to be feeling comfortable.
You want to get in that position
where you can really just get into that flow state
where you're not really thinking about
the individual mechanics of things
but you can open up your mind to think about
these broader decision-making of like, okay,
where am I going for this, what's my line?
and then you can kind of just let your body do
what it's done thousands of times
and just really crank on all the niche.
Yeah, I mean, finds it first, like as it first,
a lot of the NT here, seven, seven is also pretty nice.
We see, A-Shimai Kavos can kind of
actually can much better in the second game,
but high level play, messes up the TNT placement a little bit.
So places, the, or the pressure plate placement,
I should say, is the places,
the iron and get on it to detonate it,
then pick it back up.
Do you got to take it a little bit more time
to deal with the trees?
And actually my cable should have a little bit of a lead here leaving the island and again,
that's got a feel good of you are leaving these overworlds quicker than do go.
You've got to feel good, confident wise.
How does do go? I'll have 32 oak logs. He elevated the TNT on like a double tree that was also
like what are those like sprawling big ones. That's like maybe the most blocks I've ever seen from
I don't know if that was really impressive. Oak logs before that is actually crazy.
That's just great.
And it is an interesting decision or difference too,
because HMI cables put the TNT lower,
so he was able to get a stone axe,
dude, just getting more TNT and saying,
I'm not even gonna worry about mining my craft in table.
I'm just gonna make another one.
But if you don't have enough iron in the bash
and that could be pretty bad for Duke,
if you have to kill blazes with the wood axe.
So maybe we'll see that coming to play later,
but HMI cables and first,
this got a few good for him.
100% like that's how you get the confidence right back like back to back seeds first
he doesn't a flu I feel like oh my god that's my legit not.
He's a top five stupidest mechanic that I have to deal with in playing Minecraft.
Like, I don't know how happens. It's crazy the reason that happens when you get stuck in the trees
there's this little gap of space and when you're holding W the game pushes you into that space.
So that can happen. It's a very, very, very silly mechanic, but it's going to be interesting too
because I mean, he only has 17 plans to be wants to vote back.
That's going to be five.
The reason he's only got four beds worth of wood.
So he's going to have to grab what at some point,
or at least have to remember it, or be stuck with four beds.
Yeah, keeping eye on that would count.
Just sort of like, you're going to be keeping an eye
on all these trade counts.
We're playing triple triple.
Jugile entered from a slightly better spot
than HMI cables, I think, just doing a little bit,
oh, not traditional.
BateshMI cables, taking a lot of damage.
I think HMI cables is still slightly ahead.
But I think Duke made a good amount of time
from what he lost in the overworld.
Yeah, I would agree.
I mean, triple triple is just a runners dream.
It's such a fun route.
It's such a fast route.
Having, it's just something where you really have
to never worry about, like, pretty much anything.
You're going to get obby from the chest.
You're going to get a bunch of trades
because you're still trading 12 gold blocks.
So feeling really good about this,
I don't know if I saw the fortress yet,
so they might have to be pie-trained.
Looks like Duke always doing just that.
So it's interesting to see here,
but actually my cable is now without the death,
keeping pace with Duke aisle.
And that's all he has to do.
Yeah, you just got to keep pace with Duke,
hit his Euro finish off.
Real.
Okay, my cable is just like,
oh, that is a lot.
HDMI cables also made his boat yet some extra logs
and inventory, so it shouldn't matter
with his wood count.
Duke still has over a stack of planks.
He's over a stack in a half of planks.
That's just quite frankly ridiculous.
It's just gonna be throwing out some of that
and it looks like both getting a Pearl Hangoff,
They're both confident in where the fortress is.
But I think Duke is in me checking his trades quicker.
He's actually going to be out sooner.
Yeah, I mean, both players inventory
is look kind of crazy.
The Pearl H and H of my cable is just quite good though.
I could see him leaving right now.
He is.
And it looks like H of my cables is on the fortress first
Parker, a crazy run back after the first C death.
He's ahead and do dial.
This is you.
This is looking really good.
Duke in the lava.
Oh my gosh.
That is the most insane pearl clutch.
Yeah, that was dude making it to the portal or to the fortress now. Maybe has
all my daily and mobs on this. You might be there. Actually,
10,000 mob fortress. Wow.
Very, remember that from the script of 10,000 mob fortress. No, I don't.
Thank God, a blazer. Something shot that skeleton. Otherwise,
do you know, could have easily died to a stray arrow shot something there,
but does so. Oh, my gosh, a bit of the reshraste is very low has to eat
able to handle himself, but still not at the spawner, still doesn't have a clean spawner.
HDMI cable is clearing out his inventory now, and this is looking like a really good position for HDMI here.
Yeah, he's proving he's a runner that deserves to be here. He's beating due-gile.
And looking at a really nice position, already at three rods. We've got enough explosives for zero.
We have the CDN, nothing fucking looks like HDMI cable is as digging to a second blaze spawner.
No, maybe just a stray, this might kind of crazy, be kind of weird.
He's digging really far for this and just let's get it.
So just losing some time there, but duegile, not even got his blaze that off.
So HDMI kills just honestly in the driver's seat here.
If it's a pretty standard end game, we'll see a victory from him.
Just insane searchcrafting from duegiles, well listen, you can do it in English as well.
Well, Dugal has a set keyboard to remaps and buy and has some crazy search
crafting himself.
But HDMI now measuring it's a three digit angle, so it's not a three digit
distance, so it's not going to be too far.
Dugal measuring as well, and we could see Parker that Dugal is actually ahead on
rods.
Probably thanks to the praise and HDMI wasting so much time trying to find that one
straight that he wasn't even able to capitalize on.
Also having to throw two eyes, so losing a handful of seconds there, Duke is
really climb back and making up time here. I mean, he's just a head on a
rock count. If we're looking at the player inventory right next to our
webcams. Yeah, I mean, I think the gold pickaxes are helping so much as
well, that's going to be something that HMI just doesn't have the luxury of
right now. Well, Duke has two extra ones in his inventory. Both players
pre-crafted. Both have been away for this extra cycle. The real downside
comes in is if Duke is able to leave and HMI cables has to wait in
extra cycle. We'll see here. It's my still, you know, it's trying to get your
rods. Do guys out? Does HDMI cables get the two rods from this play cycle?
He's still waiting. He gets one. Does this place drop to keep it close? Yes, he's
out. Looks like what are these players decision making going to be. HDMI cables using a
boat trying to bait this. No, yes, please. Yeah, I guess because I broke for
Both of them they have to get seven rods so Duke is good. But HMI cable still needs one more Duke speed virgin with a soul sand getting to his core locations
Messing up a little bit, but you can always use that boat to get back on top of the soul sand without swimming up through the lava slightly faster
Look at this port. What a port of the very clean pretty good at minecraft for due-guile
Asian Mike cable is curling to cords now to go again ahead in the stronghold.
Plus so much time also getting hit up by withers has to eat twice just to be able to
purl really unless he's right on the cords. It's going to be pretty tough here for HMI cables.
Do you got no co-leans by here's silverfishes as though and knows it's above him.
So the time is taking for HMI cables. Do you got just going to be hunger resetting an entry in the end?
Yep, blocks off the cordel entrance in case we get any strange mobs from messing with us.
I think he has a good amount of explosives here, six explosives, he's entering, what's the zero look and like?
He's got the fish in the off end.
He's not from HDMI cables though. I don't think it's enough where the zero speed really matters,
but if somehow duegile messes up, I mean HDMI cables is right there.
I just think it's just barely too slow to be a close zero cycle race here.
I think you're right.
HDMI cables definitely making up some time getting to the stronghold,
And probably the stronghold map as well, but it just doesn't matter as do kids at clean zero
Clean two plus two HMI didn't even have arrows. It would have been really really tough for that situation
To to kill his direction without arrows and do go in a much closer game is still going to be up to
Oh on HMI cables
Wow, I mean if if this predictions that I made earlier were were not lying
Well, we'll see an H McAvels win on this next one, but GG to do for winning up to 0, HMI cable is back against the wall.
He needs to win this next seed if he wants to stay in this tournament.
I mean, the thing I'm looking at here is really HMI cables had, I felt like played the first half of that seed incredible.
It really was navigating to the cords and just not having the extra trays that really put him in a tough spot.
You can see 31 seconds made up on duplified in the stronghold.
And then H. Mike able to cut that in half on the enter end.
It just still wasn't enough.
But really well, performance.
There's a lot of positives to take away from that.
It's really hard.
I'm sure mentally to be down to Otis.
Someone against duplified.
But a lot of these early games keep going HDMI's way.
It's keeping him at least in this matchup.
And it has to have at least some confidence
still going into game three.
I completely agree.
He's definitely performing better the longer
that he's in this tournament.
And so if that trend continues,
this third seed should be his most well-played seed.
You know, the first one, a little bit shaky.
The second one looked very good, honestly.
Glad to be able to see you.
We'll see if he can live up to his skin's name
and give us a nail biter of a seed.
Oh, that's a good one.
Did you prep that? That was a great one.
That was a good one.
That was good. I like that.
I like that.
HMI, no choice has to pick Ruin Portal here.
I mean, this is this is going to be a tough one,
But the room portal is gonna be a fun seed no matter what we've seen a lot of bucket
completion so far in ranked left. We'll see if that trend continues. Maybe we'll get some
bowling character craziness or Parker. We haven't seen a looting story yet. So I think it's true.
That's true. That would be a really fast seed. I think it'd be pretty awesome. I think it'd be pretty awesome.
We'll see what ends up happening here. This has been a crazy good match. I don't let the
score for you. HDMI cables could totally bring this back. I know due as
to do everything is power to make that not happen.
And so many notes, we haven't really touched on Parker.
Loki won seasons two, four and six.
Do you, Gile, has currently won seasons five, seven.
And this is season nine.
This is season nine.
It could follow the trend.
It could follow the trend.
So listen, that's another thing.
I'm keeping my eyes on that.
You know, I mean, it's still early days,
but I see the vision.
I see the trend, we'll see if Duke can pull it off, you know.
He's one of these time players that we want to be keeping our eyes out for, you know,
people are scared of dueout. He's been mentioned in the player interviews and people are saying,
you know, I mean, look at this place. That's a face of an absolute killer.
That is a dog. That is a long time. I used to think it with the monster from stranger things.
I'm a little embarrassed to do.
It's not a little sad to go on.
Yeah, it's like the nose is just so big.
And it's like it's not a perp.
Like it's got like this bits of pink in there
that it just were thrown me off.
I think it's the one pink fix on the top of the nose
that makes it maybe think it wasn't a nose
and I was like, that's a monster's mouth.
That you know what?
I have blue-one say.
The activity is a wonderful, is a wonderful medium.
You know, that's great.
It took me a while to figure out
What HMI cable skin was, and then when you do it, it's like, oh, well, that's interesting.
Yeah.
Also shout out, while we're waiting on this, shout out the incredible MCSR artists.
I don't know if you've seen this.
A lot of MCSR artists have like, seen HMI cable skin, it was like, how do we draw HMI cable
skin?
They locked in.
There were some crazy fanarts of HMI cable skin.
Also shout out to them, making Steve skins look crazy as well.
They actually cast W's all from us, and now we're heading into the seed three.
with you, guy, and HDMI cables.
Rune portal probably just gonna be an hobby completion here.
We got three hobby gold ax.
Flint, no way, you got red this one.
I'm sorry, like, you actually maybe have the sword
for 0.05 seconds.
Is it using it on pigs though,
so I don't know what it is,
but it's probably not looting unfortunate.
Wait, what, H, Mike, it was this.
But it's not like, I imagine it's to save the damage
Yeah, I think on your acts.
That's been crazy for us.
Okay, okay.
Okay, man.
It's okay.
We tried.
It's okay.
We're going to do it.
We did try.
It is nice though.
I think it is the good play to save that durability on the gold ax and case you need it for something else.
But both are going to be entering here pretty soon.
Maybe a bit of awkwardness getting that last in get to make your iron pickaxe.
We should see.
Yeah.
It's close.
Pretty much snacking that here.
Second difference or so on the enter.
Try not looking amazing.
We could see a big difference here.
It looks like due guy will spend time getting more wood.
Unless HGMI cable has different wood types
in his inventory, but due guy with 10 extra wood in his hop
or that could be a huge difference in the Soul Sand Valley.
Yeah, especially because we're
going to be using it not only to get to the bastion,
but also the bastion around itself.
We can see that this is a bridge bastion.
So we're going to need-
Oh my goodness, forcing him to go lower, getting maybe a little bit punished doesn't get his iron and get there, but HDMI cables also low, so not really
mattering a ton. Let's keep our eyes out for how these runners are going to get to their iron chest. There's two other spots to check for.
Oh, you check the loadstone chest here. Would you just force this triple because of your like going around the back. It's really interesting, right?
I mean, you have to go to armor so I don't mind going for the loads to chest first
here. It doesn't work for HDMI cables. It's probably better to go for the triple chest
because it's just more iron. But even so, HDMI cables just going faster because you're getting
run directly to it with the armor, not taking a ton of damage, still both on good health,
good amount of food. And HDMI cables are really kind of separating himself from do I on now, making
on the chalice. Yeah, how does the chalice,
it hasn't hated a little bit because didn't
realize he didn't already pre-craft his
ingots. So lost maybe a little bit of his lead,
but this is another seed where we're seeing
HDMI cables have an advantage. The question is,
can he actually hold it this time
again, someone so skilled and do go? We also know
because we have to check the chest that we know
we're going to be doing a donkey con route or some type of
variance there because the other side of the
the bashing. As a single chest, you always want to force the triple side when you can.
We're going to see here. Having you so many different wood blocks to finish this bridge,
a little bit of an awkward for HMI, but still keeping that lead.
Yeah, I was a little bit scared as he used all of his oak, but thankfully he has more
occasion in his inventory, so he should be good on wood here. Do using some of the harder,
non-flammable blocks to build the important part of his bridge, so not going to have to worry
about potentially burning, but I think HMI cables didn't burn as well, so he should be
find here. He's got his pigs in the hole. The one thing I'm noticing is I don't see like a crazy amount of pigs for HDMI. To be fair. I don't see a crazy amount of pigs for do guy. I'll really either. So I don't think either runner is going to be super thrilled with the amount of piglins. They have that could cause some nerves cause some tension. I think do
has significantly less, actually. That's maybe only six or so for him. I think it's
you might as it leaves like ten maybe. So that could be a pretty big difference when
it's that little piglins and that could be another little bit of an edge for H.
J. My cables. 100% and we see Duke going back over to where he's already been trying
to get some pigs that he potentially missed. I saw a zombie pig just outside of the
the bathroom was can scarce and pigs away. Thankfully zombies didn't respond in the bathroom,
but in this case we have some terrain, basically on the same level as these chests that
could really mess with the pigland path finding. So we'll see how much it matters, as Duke is
now looking for the fortress, gets a scan, trying to think where he's going to set this
perlane and decided to go for some high terrain. Yeah, this is gonna be really interesting
where they kind of deal with this fortress. It's my cable still now getting 20 obvious, so
That's gonna be big we have pretty much everything else we need it looks like it is gonna be leaving now question is have we actually seen the for no going this way
Not a lot of string Parker there's the fourth there and again I had it by a lot do go still on 17
I'll be as you might as everything you need to beat this game here
The explosives is gonna be a little bit awkward for zero, but not anything that the top order should be super worried about
I think it's three
They get 3-bed 4 anchor before blaze betting.
Maybe even 4-bed 4 anchor before blaze betting.
So totally fine.
Just a little bit awkward.
Too about finally getting the 20 people piece of obvious.
Oh my goodness.
And just getting this one and out for HDMI.
And it looks like HDMI sees both the spawners at the same time.
So you can pop by both of these.
Get some extra spawns.
If dude potentially takes some better terrain.
We saw HDMI cables was really going through the bad part of the fortress to get to his spawners.
get to his spawners, Duke now entering the back part as well. I think it's a very similar
spot that HDMI cables did. So probably not going to be making up much time here. The HDMI
cables has blades better just setting up everything so that you can build this portal, pre-craft,
kills, places, is looking at, he's looking really good right now, Curry. I think, okay, this
is the exact situation that we're talking about. Like every seed, he's made up a little bit more
ground for a little bit longer, like he is, I would say, 30 seconds or so ahead of
due guy. And he's keeping it longer into the match. All he really has to do is have a
relatively clean end game here. And he should be totally fine. Like, has room for error
here. And this is exactly the type of CD that you want to have when you're back is against
the wall. Because it's not just like, oh, I'm barely winning, like, you are significantly
ahead. You deserve to be here. This is what makes you my cable needs to get us head back
in the game. Yes, fantastic point. Hopefully it doesn't get to his head. Hopefully I know some
people get nervous when they are ahead. Some people get nervous when they're behind. Each
of my cables, gameplay looks pretty good. I saw maybe a typo on the search craft with the
there's a small mistake as he's leaving on four rods. Meanwhile, due to I'll just cranking out
his blades bad and only on two. You're really clean both from HDMI cables to get on top of the portal
and get the read. That was really nice. He done. Unfortunately, it does have to throw to the
stronghold looks like it's quite far. That first number definitely looks like a two. So this
is going to be a long way away. We're HDMI cables and we'll have to see how he's going to manage
the terrain. This is a bit of an opening for Duke, although because since it's not super close,
there's going to be a lot more terrain decision going into the second portal and that could give
do go to an edge just lately.
Phenomenal point, both runners have the same amount of food, so probably both can be making
similar decision making.
I think we'll probably see a hungry set here from HMI cables because we're just having
to travel so far, expect a handful of pearls here just to get to the stronghold.
Looks like he got his last rod and is now finally leading.
I mean, it's going to be heading out.
I like the play for the second spawner's life, but that was really smart.
And look at this terrain, it's pretty open.
Like, this is not, there's not like too much decision making here.
This looks pretty straight forward.
And it 2000 is far, but we're definitely, you know, less than 100 away at this point.
So seems to be pretty clean because he's not per lane.
I would assume we're actually quite close, because we still do have the extra food as well.
So I just building up here, maybe have to dig down shortly around this area.
Yeah, you have to cut a little bit to the right.
Do-gile, able to leave though, and now he's on the chase.
Yeah, really trying to make up ground and I think I take back what I'm saying earlier. We stumped up the two pork tops
So probably don't need to hungry set here. It's gonna be in a stronghold any second
Duke is really trying as best to make up time here, but if HGMI finds the port of room because there's no opportunity to do it is make up
This bike looks great. Is it down the double staircase looks good?
There it is great now from HGMI
And we have a significant lead for HMI going into the end.
It's a little bit of a weird overhang.
And again, the explosive count is awkward.
If this is a side setup or somewhere where you have to do something universally awkward,
it could be weird.
HMI deciding to go for the 99 set of thought about the 104 height deciding,
no, not worth it.
This should be very hitable for any top runner.
The first double bed, a little bit okay.
Now something to note about this.
I think Parker, okay, we're both wrong and he's fine. It's really funny.
He knows what he's doing. Yeah, but I was going to break the first
second. Thank God he did. Oh, he went one farther. He went one out farther. He
smarts. That's one way to do it. Otherwise, you'd have to like place the anchor
above. That was a really smart way of doing that. Really impressive stuff from
HDMI and again the thing I can't blow myself up with anything sorry so he said he wanted
to what a freaking guy you didn't have a lot of anchors that match but I have to use him all
on the zero thing okay that's awesome and we can see here this is the first he HDMI wasn't
in the net at first but made of so much time in the fashion because of having more
Hey, the lens, I was able to hold that lead even entering the fort 44 seconds faster still entered the end
49 seconds faster still made up five seconds after entering the fort big confidence moves to rage to my
Pables
Yes, playing very well love to see it. We'll see if you can keep that momentum into the next seed
Can he take another one from due-gile?
I can't remember what I said earlier, I lent you a leak description
I was going to leave the script you said do go wins the first two and then HMI wins the third and then you said do go wins the four lights
or you stick with that for
Are you stick with that?
I can't let the viewers know like when I'm lying and that's actually true. That's actually true.
So, yeah.
I mean, we'll see here this is a pretty interesting split situation.
Again, this is a really fast room portal enter, right?
like sub one, that's going to be something
where these runners are like,
absolutely thinking to see, can be really fast.
It's just a bastion like that bridge.
Any bastion where you just don't have that iron
can be so awkward, so annoying to deal with.
And I think it was just something where, thankfully,
you know, HMI tables are able to keep believe
and get to stay in the tournament for at least one more seat.
Yeah, yeah, that's true.
His back is still against the wall.
He has to win this next seat if he wants to win.
We'll see if I was lying with the script, I would say it, I mean, do go look right on that
C2, I truly just the pigland situation was just so awkward for both runners and it should
make it a little bit more straight.
Yeah, not really sure what did cause that the U-Ride, that was like one of the biggest
different spanker there, I'm hoping for this next seed, I want to see both enter the end
at the same time, I want to see this come down to a zero difference, I want to see somebody
He has two plus two, maybe somebody sent an amazing clutch play.
We got those together.
I'm excited to see another time.
Well, I really like this.
Do you got a pick in it?
It makes sense.
He picked it on the first seat,
it's a seed type that he's very comfortable with.
I think this is something that I'm noticing,
like the real real like top echelon people.
The people that are like always
in the top five of the leaderboard really like desert temple.
And I don't know exactly why.
Again, I'd imagine it's something skill expression wise
with the lack of food and the TNC.
But it's really interesting to see
these consistent top leader board players
pick the desert temple seed.
We saw that with ECR in the last matchup,
we're seeing it with Dugail now.
That's a good point.
I think over the past year, we've seen some developments,
you know, people playing on less food,
you know, doing wood lights more.
Now we're starting to see even the micro get looked into
with those TNT portals.
I mean, I also think of like,
Especially, I mean, the next match is going to have Infu.
I remember when Infu really came on to the scene,
it was because he was so innovative with the Desert Temple.
So, really ancientists see so much of this this season,
and it's always exciting to see.
Yeah, a little bit of a larger crater here,
because of that dirt at the bottom,
each of my cables looking for gravel,
doesn't find it so Duke is going to be exiting the Temple first.
You know, he's ahead by a couple of microseconds,
but the big decisions are always going to be
where there's a lava pool, where there's our water,
where there's our flint, and then drawing the best line
in between those couple points of interest.
Absolutely.
And inventory management is so, so crucial.
I was noticing an HDMI screen.
Even like build hopping over like a cactus on the ground
that you didn't want to pick up.
Like anything you just don't want to deal with can just be so annoying
on the time where we could see also how clean
due giles inventory is.
It's always something to keep in mind when watching with TNT
and how the player's manage it.
Yeah, and we're at different spots for the flint.
And I think I'd like HG my spot a little bit better,
maybe a little bit more direct,
because I did see a lava flow on his screen.
But Doug, I guess, has a lava pool right here.
So he's actually going to be entering before HG my cables.
Yep, so then I just noticed,
you got to do when he was doing his portal.
I wonder if it was on purpose, but sometimes when
you build a portal, you can get cobblestone on your second block.
I noticed when he took it, he took the water out and replaced it.
I would imagine to literally just see you never get cobbled.
It's really interesting.
I'm really tiny micro thing for him.
And he's in the Netherlands, he's cranking to this bash,
and don't see it just yet, but he does see the fortress.
HMI cables in a little bit behind.
Yeah, looking like they're going to be taking pretty similar terrain here
and do was re-scanning.
We should be seeing the bastion right around this corner.
And I think we do, it's just very far.
So we have a lot of blocks.
So we should be able to get there fine.
There's also beautiful terrain there.
It's just gonna be a question of how do these people
play the bashing?
It looks like housing.
So maybe you're gonna use these trees
to go to the top of housing.
Maybe skip all of that
and try to get your pics trading a little bit sooner
with a man-hunt type route.
I think Duke is going to the top with these trees.
It looks like Duke has going to the top.
I've seen a lot of people mungy most notably
of people really try and force man-hunt more often.
even in like wet bottom housings where there's like lava and stuff, but
due to all, heading to the top looks like HMI cable is going to head to the top as well.
No real variance here.
Due to all should be keeping his lead of about 10 seconds.
Yeah, ever so slightly terrain, but it shouldn't be
mattering too much due.
Also checking this far chest will see if HMI cable is does as well.
If you don't get the obby, you probably want to check that chest just for safety.
Makes you not missing anything and he is going to check the same chest that
Do you guys do you still maintaining that lead now just playing a standard housing route?
Yeah, to go ahead again by about 10 seconds. Now, these runners do know where the fort is. So this housing could go pretty quickly.
Notoriously the fastest fashion besides substable, you know, tripals, variations or anything like that.
But very consistent as well. I'm not exactly sure how much obvious runners go from the top. I'm sure I'll see it in a second when
an issue might open to the inventory here only six, I think.
So not anything amazing.
Also taking a lot of damage.
That's really the thing I'm watching out for here.
Do you guys seem to consistently be keeping his health
slightly higher than HDMI throughout all of this?
And it might matter as we'll probably have to throw a good
handful of pearls to get to that fortress.
You know, some of the other seeds we've seen the fortress
with one pearl throw away, this is probably a two, three,
maybe even four types situation.
We have the golden apple.
So we'll see if these players use that while overlapping,
getting to the fortress, that's probably the right play,
but I do like Duke's position much better
just being on a slightly higher health.
Yeah, I mean, inventory as well,
that's something I would also keep in an eye on.
Duke, it has the iron sword pre-crafted
not sure if HDMI cable says that.
Duke, it's raising render out fully on the way
to the fort already.
HDMI cable still has a good bit to go
and doesn't have that sword pre-crafted.
So Duke, it's really a head here by,
I would say maybe 30 seconds at this point,
a really clean housing,
and I really like where he's doing these pros,
the liberally trying to get to the part
of the fortress that he wants with the spawner.
I totally agree.
The pro placements were really good, really utilizing
those awkward, neither islands in the air to purl onto.
You don't want to get stuck in any lava.
He was also throwing pretty conservatively,
making sure he's landing exactly where he needs to.
And he's shooting my cables.
Sitting in one of the other, I wonder if it was like,
some chest didn't maybe fully hockey the the obsidian or maybe lost a gold block somewhere,
but that is really unfortunate if that's how this game ends up being decided on the obsidian.
Having a hard time here as well, low render, having to deal with the pigs, not being able to
craft the gold gets it now, but I mean, while all this is happening, do the spawner killing
Blaze's already has three rods. Yeah, this is looking not so great for HDMI cables, and if he
He doesn't get the obby here, he does, so it's not a detrimental situation, but again,
look at that health position, the H9K, that you can only throw one pearl here, you can
eat the gap, but he's on a much worse position than due guy, I can probably throw another
two pearls here, but it's just going to be at the spawner way slower.
Duke already has six rods, oh my gosh, the guys have six rods, had to save himself from
falling at the bottom, but able to just pull back up, be totally fine, and he's very skilled
the lack of capacity, blinding sub sticks with all of his rods, well,
HDMI cables is just getting to the floor now.
This is really top for HDMI cable fans.
Dugal is fully in the driver's seat, and this neather is really
open near the fortress, so this terrain getting to wherever the
stronghold is is probably to be pretty simple.
Yeah, even more punishing for HDMI cables.
I mean, he gets he gets these trays here, but the food
situation still come back to bite him.
Yeah, having to throw so many pearls to the spawners are so far away
from that bash and Duke is just fully lined up.
It looks like 1,300 blocks.
Yeah, I really like this hungry recipe
from Duke as well.
You know you're ahead, you can just take the time
to hungry set in the overworld.
It allows for more purling now
and you're just fully ready to go.
I think that's really smart.
It's my cable is still struggling to potentially
find the spawner as I guess.
Duke didn't have nearly as much trouble.
It's really looking, it's all the way down this way we know
And there it is, finally getting to the spawners now.
As Duke Is bridging out to the courts, very quickly,
oh my god, there are not a lot of people in play
I'll second do what Duke I'll just did.
And not a lot of people in Minecraft in general
who can do what he just did.
Holy smokes.
There's in the spawner as I'm kind of out of the map,
sorry for the technical difficulties,
but we are back, that we saved.
to the zero.
Did he has he found a good spike?
Did he let you have a very good point?
Yeah, right to the right.
No, it's a double library spike.
HDMI blinds on six.
So if this spike for Duga doesn't find quickly,
I mean, HDMI cables is on the hunt now.
Tazuna Rods is going to be heading towards very soon.
Here's a hidden though.
It probably is this way.
No, it's dead.
Oh, so now Spike is fully misleading him.
And the longer he's in here,
the more mobs are going to spawn,
it's going to start to get awkward.
he needs to find the soon and does do go now has the chance to close out this match as
HDMI is just running to chords with a soul sandwich when it's not going to matter as do go
is entering the end now. I mean maybe an awkward zero it's very here but it is front so
probably just going to be pushing a 95 here pretty standard zero. I don't know where you stand
I mean, that's a familiar.
Yeah, you can hear only on a 95, that would be the only thing
if the dragon flies here, but a rank 95 fly is incredibly rare.
Dragon is going to stay.
The double bed was great.
A little bit awkward here, but again,
2,000 just has the time here and is going to close out this match
with another double bed.
And that'll be a 3, 1 victory for duegile over HDMI cables
are really well played seed on low food from duegile
that last one. I totally agree. Clean gameplay deserves the win here and he's going to be moving
on to next weekend. You know, HDMI cables though, we saw some good gameplay. I like how he warmed
up to it. This was his first playoffs. I think this is some great experience to have under his belt.
Yeah, I mean, absolutely. It's obviously always tough to lose a match like this, but you've got
to feel good taking a match off a two-time playoff champion and really holding your own throughout.
Like there was really never a point in any of these sets besides when the HMI cable died that really made it feel like he was out of it
I mean, unfortunately lost a gold block, but every time that these players were kind of having similar things happen to them
This game play was very very neck and I really like watching this match
Yeah, I think the longer that we just see playoffs in generally, you know, these players skills they start becoming
Closer and closer to each other was just great for us because it means closer and closer matches, you know
sometimes especially in the early days, we can see like these titans really separate themselves
from the pack. But we're starting to see a lot of people on the come up like HMI cables fighting
their way through L.C.Q and really giving people a run for their money. So no, absolutely. And
it's really, really nice to see that, you know, you guys still got it. It's always nice to see someone
who's been around for a while. I mean, I've seen he's been in every single rank class, people were
saying in the chat, which is an incredible accomplishment and is back for more will be heading
into next weekend in the quarterfinals and guess what we get to talk to them. We can
say hi to Gile. Oh my goodness. We can say hey congrats on the win.
Do congrats on the win? Three one over HDMI cables. How are you feeling? How do you feel
like you play today? I feel pretty good mostly. I got like kind of scared on the
second seed or another third seed. Oh no, I lost because like I felt like I didn't
and play that bad and then like I just made a small mistake in the bastion and then
HDMI got me by like 40 seconds and then I just kept getting the rest of the time.
Like I didn't even realize it at the time.
I think what happened is you guys probably pointed this out but like I double stacked
and D.K. and then I should just forgot to dig the block.
So I lost all the pigs that were on the bridge.
Right?
That's what happened.
Yeah, we could have done a drop of y exactly.
You lost the pigs on the bridge but that would make sense if it was the double stack on that.
because that was a different day.
You just had, he had maybe like 10 pigs
and you had maybe like six.
So that was, yeah, crazy watch.
Talk a little bit about you are the only person
who's played in every ranked playoffs.
Obviously, you've won two seasons,
you won season five season seven.
What have you worked on specifically going into this season
that makes you maybe stand out a little bit more,
like what keeps you kind of going playing
and so many playoffs at this point?
I'm not really the only one.
I think so.
I'll just say it in chat.
I still missed one.
Yeah, goodness.
That's great.
It's not a great thing.
That's kind of crazy to me.
I mean, I don't know.
I'm like getting to the age where I'm like kind of on.
I'm like, oh my God, I'm so big getting out of my head.
I'm funny.
I'm 22.
Oh, yeah, man.
Yeah, you got nothing else to have.
I'm gonna take a look at it.
I'm like definitely one of the oldest players, like players, and like maybe the oldest player for me, so I don't know.
I feel like even though I am one of the older people on this community, I am still improving.
And like I feel like I still have an original figure, which is pretty cool.
That's awesome in here. Obviously there's a lot of young people coming for the throne.
The EDCR Steve's match was crazy to watch.
I don't know if you were awake for that, but that was crazy.
And seeing like the new age compared to what you've been doing
for so long is a really interesting kind of contrast.
And obviously you are still at a very high level.
And it's cool to see that you're still pushing yourself.
Record, what do you got?
What was your favorite moment from match?
Were there any moments that stood out to you that you were like,
oh my gosh, that was so clean.
I know whenever I get like a clean other portal,
I'm like, oh my gosh, this is so good.
I know you have a lot of those,
was there any moment that stood out to you as particularly proud?
Yeah, I did kind of feel that like on the second portal on the last scene,
like I kind of cranked that, I was like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We were watching that scene, we're just getting that.
I was like, oh my god, like, yeah, it was a very clean transition.
Yeah, thank you.
So that was really good.
Yeah, the two plus two was clean.
And then I also noticed, like, you've been doing like a lot of unique
micro things.
I don't know if this is just like a this season thing,
but I like notice it like when you were building your portal on that last seed like do you purposely remove your water and then replace it to like avoid getting cobbled on like that second
water. Do you know what I'm talking about like when you're placing the water originally in the portal because it you do like a lot of
things that I noticed that were very like you really does seem like you are pushing yourself this season.
Yeah, that is something I just started doing recently and like
I don't know, there have been a lot of like micro tech
like it's getting discovered lately and I'm always trying to keep up with
like all the newest tech and stuff.
That's awesome Parker, you guys, I think else?
How are you feeling going into a next week?
You're going to be playing Blaze Mind?
Blaze Mind, all right.
You played about Blaze Mind.
Yeah, Blaze Mind is pretty scary.
Like he has crazy mechanics.
he has like pretty new but he is like definitely like definitely a
scarier opponent like anything could happen against him if you look yeah that's
for sure well best of luck to you congrats again on making it to another semi
finals good luck or semi finals excuse me quarter finals good luck to making it
to another weekend and I'm sure we'll see a lot more of you then congrats again
And then we have to go ahead and do.
Thank you.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, Parker.
We watched two great games today.
We did it.
And it's pretty awesome.
The first game.
Best of five.
East.
You know, I'll give you the bracket.
Let's take a look at the bracket.
I don't know if Oliver is ready for that.
I kind of threw that on the hand.
Oh, my guy's ready.
He's the professional.
Look at this.
We, so we have not fully filled out, but it's totally fine.
We have do go.
Moving on to face blaze mine.
And then we have steas.
And then we have two games say that we'll decide an entire quarter finals.
We'll have infemures beef salad next up after a quick admission to get nerdy and
fine-bragan here, and then we'll have Nehann and Loki.
Any predictions, Parker, for those next two games?
Or he had to do an admission?
Predictions predictions.
I think infemube beef salad definitely go into a game five.
I don't see that going any other way, but I think infemes are going to win that one.
Nehann V. Loki.
You know what? I think this one's a little unexpected, but I think the Steve power also going to bring it to a five, but Loki's going to win those are my predictions.
I like it. I like it. Well, I think this is going to be a very nice two games to kind of wrap up the day.
And I mean, we watched a lot. The EDCR Steve's game honestly was like really one of my favorite games that I've ever commented it. So it was really, really impressive.
But yeah, this was this is great. I'm really grateful to be a part of this shout out all the people making this work the production
The staff even partners camera. I'm gonna shout out partners camera
I don't know what's going on with either of us to be honest. We're we're
It's good. We're trying our best listen. This is why we're trying our best year
We've got a good production so far. We're gonna go to find Morgan nerdy. Maybe just having a webcam in your kitchen
We're gonna go like maybe we just tried to art. I don't know
I think I know what's going wrong. I'll fix it my next one
We'll have it for next week and listen.
Thank you guys so much.
It's always great to be here.
And when we come back, when we're a quick intermission, don't worry.
We'll be quick.
We'll have a fine burger nerdy here for in-fume versus beef salad.
So thank you guys so much.
I will see you very shortly.
Goodbye.
You know, I'm pondered, I'm welcome here with nerdy as well.
To the second half of our Sunday bracket, two matches left in the round of 16 nerdy.
We have in-fume versus beef salad coming up, and then may hand versus lowkey battle
of the Steve skins to round out the day.
How are you feeling you excited for these matches?
I mean, the first two games today were absolute cinema.
Hopefully that can continue for these next two.
Yeah, I mean, we've got, first of all, we got infium, you know, second place last
season.
It's been doing a lot of damage in the Minecraft speed running scene.
Obviously, our current ranked world record holder, so that's very exciting going against
beef salad who has one simply tournament, right?
So definitely an experienced player as well.
This is going to be a great match.
And then after that, like you said, if I'm a battle of the Steve skins, we got a brand new
Steve going against our most decorated playoffs player, also in a Steve skins. So it's going to be
it's going to be amazing. It's going to be amazing. I just want to point out it's funny. You say
infium has the rank the world record, which is true. As a 547 is the only sub 6 in rank. Some people
have sub 6 in private rooms, but in the rank ladder, one of you want infium has the only sub 6.
nerdy, take a guess, out of the top seven times, all times of ranked players. How many of them
are infing and be selling? It's not the funny number. Okay. Out of the top seven? Out of the top seven times,
how many are infing and be selling just those two players? Out of everybody else in the Nether
Ibujwazzi, everybody else in the Diamond Demons. I'm going to say, I don't know, I feel like you're
This is a leading question.
So I'm going to say four, I guess I don't know.
I've no idea.
I have five out of six times.
In QM has number one number four.
And B cell has number three, six and seven.
And this is seven times.
This is very exciting.
Also comes in at number 11.
And in QM comes in number 15.
But their dominance over these low six.
And then obviously if you sub six times five out of the top seven,
fastest ranked times ever are these two players.
So I know we can talk about, let's throw over the player cards and see,
oh, I production is going to be, we have a content segment.
I mean, so excited about the new game.
This is getting sudden to see the game fly.
I overstepped my welcome here.
We have content segment between these two runners.
These runners are not new to play else.
And if you might have seen that second last season,
beef salad's been on the podium before,
I'll go back and season three.
So we don't have a new player interviews
because these things have been around.
We have a rendition of a segment we've seen before zero cycle horse, so these runners
are going to be doing some zero cycles against each other, some funny wacky stuff, maybe
some blindness, maybe some jumpeers, I don't know what they're going to come up with
tried and rip-type.
We'll see.
I didn't watch this, this is going to be my first time, but we'll see you's better at
these wacky zeros that we definitely won't be seeing in the bracket in these matches today.
So let's throw it over that content and then we'll get into the stats and the game point.
Okay, let's just start like simple but hard and let's do like back one or three
I've never done this before
I don't know the way
Oh no
I don't know why they did that
I mean, next small boy, but Pelta won't even tell him, then slingled bloodshot
Oh there's so far.
I think the inventory is full of shilkers, six of which have a better one.
I
That was nice thought how was nothing
Oh, we're...
Oh no!
Oh no!
Oh no!
You're going to worry?
I don't know!
I think you are!
That was hard to do it!
Oh, I thought I was cooking!
are you serious
Oh, that's it!
That's it!
That's it!
That's it, but...
that's it!
I got a car I was doing.
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
Okay.
Hahaha.
That was so stupid.
I'm not coming out for this for a stop.
I just like to get back small boy.
I have 999 by building a fifth side tower.
Oh Jesus.
Okay.
I don't know if I'm going to do it.
That's the game telling me to stop, that's the game telling me to stop.
Oh my god, I went, I thought I got it.
Well, lucky for infusion, we are not gonna have TNT Mine Card Zero.
We could see someone push one and I'm back small boy, that is a feasible thing.
a couple of those are fees. Well, maybe not the Rift I tried in one, but back one or three
tops set up. I wish they got that horse thing going or that whatever that I was there
specating and I can vouch it to take 25 minutes of them just trying those things back
to back. They got pretty close. I think I got some points, but it's okay.
I guess that's not really how the horse game works. If it takes you 30 minutes hit the
zero, then your opponent gets like two tries. Is that really like? Well, no, I think they were just like they were just going back and forth back and forth for 30 minutes.
It's fun. Oh, oh, so like these are the most important things in terms of the core and these are the most important things like that.
They both gave up. Well, yeah, hey, maybe he's shred those. We're going to get on this horse.
Zero attack. Maybe it's good. I mean, yeah, yeah. That's the climb upstairs fast. You're going to throw this early.
There's something there. It's all I'm saying. Maybe there's something there. But
I've had myself earlier now. We're ready to get into the player spot like the stats
best ranked time average sub six, which is crazy. Obviously, if you have a sub six,
it becomes close enough to put that average, the best ranked time of them, like a five,
fifty seven, just insane. But no, overall, great stats. I mean, very similar. Like you said,
fiber, very good top speeds, right? So, from a top speed perspective, I think both
these runners are very good. I think the storyline here is very similar to that of
Blaze Mind versus Mongie of yesterday. I mean, we have beef salad, mechanics,
demon, we saw those zeros that he just hit ridiculous stuff against infium, who is more
of a decision-based player. Both very, very skilled runners, but they do have different
playstyle. So it's going to be interesting to see how these two stack up today against each other.
Yes, I'm just looking at the wins your opponent and that is pretty. That's true. Yeah.
That is like a almost 100 game sample size and
in terms of going to two thirds one right. So I don't know what the match says on that about like what
But if you play five games with like a two-thirds of them right at what you're like
expectant chance of winning is, I usually play out as different because there's nerves
and you're playing the, you don't, you play on a right turn out playing the same person
five games in a row, right?
So it's like, okay, maybe you have a tilting loss to someone and then you're in puning
someone else right?
You don't have to play that person again right away, especially in like a playoff
for me, you don't, like the games are sort of isolated when you're a queuing-on-lider.
maybe tell this something that could affect these runners here, which you wouldn't affect them on the latter specifically.
No, no, I just took it to the numbers. And I think like a part from the peak speed, like we're saying sure,
B-solve at our max, if you better just making, if you have the faster rain time anyways, now granted,
B-solve will show you those times in the top seven. The best time isn't necessarily always held.
I'm not trying to say it's like, oh, I don't think I'm using the best player, but like the best time is usually a combo of a really good player and like a really lucky seat, right?
Like that's leading to it, right? If that's leading to or like one straight doesn't spawn, it looks different, right?
And there's been other runners in rank that I've had like 450, 445, and then there's so it's like
It's telling that these runners have multiple times up there not only in the top 10, but in the top 20 times of all time
And if you're still up there, even if we're doing the OB-solid crazy mechanics,
you can like, squeak out every second on these crazy fasts, where you have no pre-craft
time. You have like, you're in the 4-4-10 seconds, so you have to kind of do your inventory
somewhere random, like there's no time you're not sitting in a spawner for two minutes.
So it, I don't know, looks bad for B-solid just on the stats, but well,
good news of games we'll see, see if anything from the seeds gives us any new info, not really,
I mean, B-Saud's average room portal time is best of the five, but if you've got a better average time on all five seeds and a better win rate on all five seeds,
notably a 20% higher win rate on the village seed, the most decision-making overall, heavy overall, by far,
and a 20% of the room portal as well, which is a little bit surprising, but maybe that could be choosing how much food to take or things like that.
hard to say exactly but in either case I think that this is going to be
I don't know if I'm ready. I think this is going to be a good match. I feel like every time
that we say like, oh look at the, you know, infuse the massive favorite. That a lot of times
I feel like we do, you know, get a little bit of an upset something. We've seen it before. I think we
can see again. I believe in beef salad, but at the same time. I mean, hey, we're all hate watching
infuse. Let's be real. I'm not right. So, that really some of us are. Others, the chance that
Friends, what's stream you're watching where you're hearing us through, who you're hearing us through is their third webcam on the screen.
It depends what you're getting from that, but we have the village band and deep beef salad makes a lot of sense.
And in a few banding, the berry treasure maybe just trying to get that the mechanic that we see out of the way.
I think berry treasure room portal, maybe being the two most mechanically heavy seeds, just a bit BTC's ton of crafting and obviously two by one portal.
all like, yeah, this question for the ravines on the island,
you have very little time to sort of manage your hop around all that.
And then again, obviously, we're in portal seeds,
crazy mechanics wise, because sometimes you're just here in the meta
in 20 seconds, and it's like the potential of that looting
sword to make the whole seed incredibly fast.
Cannot be understated.
But we're on the shipwreck.
We have to wait for the room portal.
We have to wait for the legendary desert temple seed.
We're starting with our ocean seed for Game 1.
In team vs. B saw it and here we go.
It's good right into this. I mean, I am excited. This is going to be a good match. I think.
So looking around both runners. Do you see the ship wreck quite quickly?
The question is, where is the ravine? There's one ravine sort of near this iron chest here.
These runners are looting the chest in different order. Really doesn't matter.
They're spread so this is food. We got lots of iron so we can definitely make
shares. If you sell it off island, you're back on the island. I should say just a
second or two faster. I'm going to come down to this craftings split here.
We've sell it's hot bar a little more organized as well. He's got that food off
the bar. Infium should be doing this shortly. Just have a room to sort of craft
everything. Especially when you have to get your wood and everything like now and
team's got his wood up in every toy and so on.
And the bar so it's going to make that crafty split just a little bit slower.
So I think beef sauce gaining a like time here and there a little bit on this island
going to expect them to be off the island presumably a little faster as I say that.
It's the exact same time.
So I mean, I'm really adding from in to what is interesting that we see iron store there
on the bar of beef salads.
So that's something to maybe keep it in.
Let's see, both look for a two-by-one in-femes got a little bit of repairing to do on
the left here, so maybe beef salgamy in slightly faster, and if you're actually
messing with the repair on this two-by-one, grabbing a lava from the side, so pretty
significant leave now for beef salad compared to what we've seen in this overall so
far, and how is our balance shape up?
Yeah, the stables. Yes, I think. Yeah, we got stables.
Expect to see a triple gap here.
These runners or is this?
Yep, this is middle double right triple.
So can do, which we got through the bottom double chest here.
But it depends on how much hobby we get.
Some runners up to like to not go through the middle.
If they don't have to, sometimes pigs can get stuck.
We'll see how these runners decide what to do.
as we have nine obsidian from these chests,
so should be able to get the 11 from the trades
pretty easily the boosted obsidian rates.
Ganty by the rank mod, I'd be very shocked
if we needed another chest to get 20 obsidian.
That besides not going to opt to go through the middle here,
just going to stay entirely on this right rank part.
Let's see what infem does here.
Knowing we have the obsidian,
he's also going to just go right.
I think both runners not to cut through the middle, grab that extra chest.
We don't need it.
We have the Obsidian smart play.
We know variance in these rats.
Maybe some pig count difference just random wandering, but both doing beef salad variation
of this triple gap auto funneling the pigs into a fucking stray pig.
And they're not blocked off either.
So not only is he crawling enough to kill this guy.
These pig ones are not in the hole here.
And this is a bit of a disaster nerdy.
because how is it going to save these pigments here the entire benefit of this route the
all right, all towards
you know, cross with gotten
and nobody ready one thing that didn't you messed up in the overall look you have 18
week and inventory. He has no six breadcrafted. Yeah, true. So he's he going to
craft this bread right now is he going to all my
do. Why all right. All right. He's okay. He's okay.
But a rough start a rough start for him to be honest. I mean, messing up the portal a
little bit, then now with this big pigland situation almost dying there, it does look
a little shaky there to start off the day here for infium. Yeah, and he's alive. I'll be
a bit of it slow. These piglands aren't even out from the top of the bastion, just
completely throughout this in the mess. So now we have to start these guys trading and
slow down the route even more. Gonna slow down the trades even more. But with the food situation
as well, unless this stew is like saturation, I don't know if he's gonna have enough food to
not have to hunger reset at some point in the sea. He hasn't eaten my name as bread, but
six bread is not that much. If he takes any more random damage from a blade with their
skeleton skeleton, I don't even know how far away this fortress is. If it's maybe four or five
pros away, it might be even bigger cascading mistake. And apparently the stew just is saturation,
what I'm reading in chat here, maybe beef salad ate the stew. Looks like he did. As he's at the
The Fort Infium has no idea, even where this Fort is so far behind here in Dirty, only a few minutes into C1.
Yeah, just some some shakingness early on from Infium, some, I don't know if it's nerves, I don't know if it's just like not having fully warmed up.
But definitely some, just like little mistakes that have been adding up throughout the seed mainly in that fashion and now be settled with the significantly entering the Fort here.
Blays betting and throwing out all that,
most of all that good stuff.
He's just at the spawner ready to go.
I don't know if you've been able to do that.
He's in the bad part of the fort.
We saw the way that Blay, B-Salle,
Blays, I'm not Blays, I'm on B-Salle.
Parled to the fort.
He entered immediately on the good part.
So in team sure he's in the fort right now,
but he's been doing nothing effectively
for almost 20 seconds.
For B-Salle, Pearl's more of the right,
doesn't enter on this bad part.
and skips his entire cutscene of running all the way
to the good part here,
and teams get a run up to the spawner on his right
and just the second,
gonna be the same spawner that Blake B-South is at.
So really, nothing you can do
sort of as a variance play,
as a difference to B-South to make up any of this time, right?
They're gonna be blinding the exact same spot,
gonna have the exact same stronghold,
look at the explosive count for B-South,
he's not eight explosives,
so that's gonna mean basically every zero
on the game is hitable.
Assuming you can get to the setup
the dragon doesn't fly it explosives is so many for runners at this level. So what does
inking do it I really think it just comes on the nav. Unless the terrain to this 700 block
stronghold is so bad through the basalt but I'd expect we just sort of cut through
like sort of go around backwards outside this little on-clave where in at the spawner
and then sort of the terrain just it feels to me that it'll open up. We'll see what be
you thought ends up doing,
as he's leaving on six rounds right now,
in-fume, finally, blinding on two,
or peace out, again, going around here,
perfect decision-making
and look how open this terrain is,
I, it, it acidity, some horrendous nap.
If you're an in-fume fan,
looking to see them when this first seed,
don't know how peace out can access this up,
maybe he runs out of fire at us,
maybe there's a big man who keeps it in-sacombism,
maybe he misplaced with a city in, I don't know.
You can vote a little bit there from peace out
entering the stronghold.
Sub seven here, so a very good pace overall.
And there's a slight bit of a left,
but there's some evidence of a mind shaft here,
a little bit burning, but that's not gonna matter too much.
How do we find this portal room?
It was a great spike to the left.
That's okay, a little bit too big,
but it's the way we need to go.
And yeah, it is the portal room.
I think that's not even the time to catch up in any way.
It was a pretty clean nav over all from beef salad.
I'm going to be chaining a settings and hopefully being able to hit this zero.
Very open.
It is back though.
And still eight explosives.
It's cage maybe 86.
So should we look at the 95 here?
And if this flies, I mean, I don't know.
I could get ugly, but I'd be ugly for infamous will.
You can't really get to 99 here, assuming no incredible mistake on this is zero.
We just have so many explosives going to ought to do an anchor bed double here, almost
kills the dragon.
We sell three anchors left as infuriated.
This is the strong second portal.
Maybe try to build a little too high.
Not gonna matter.
Be flagging a low eight on this for a shipwreck.
See, starting the series off one I'll against last season.
and second place playoffs.
Finish sure.
Infium Silver Medal is down.
What up?
Yeah, I mean, it just came down to a couple of little mistakes
here and there from infium and beef salad
just had a very clean seat.
I mean, I don't even really know what to point out.
Went wrong for beef salad.
I feel like he just played everything very smoothly.
And say, if I have to look at many of the mistakes,
not to, not to sort of exaggerate it or say
that it necessarily played badly because you put in
he meant this situation against 99% of their ranked players.
He's winning this scene, but you look at the splits nerdy.
He's not saving time on any split.
He lost a minute in the fort.
Yeah.
He lost 20 seconds in the bastion.
Plus the food loss that he had.
I'm surprised it's honestly only 20 seconds in the bastion
considering the late pigs that he had, the death he almost had.
And he was like, I don't even know who he was here though.
Because I think he went to the part of the fort, right?
That was not good.
And so he might enter earlier.
but really I feel like beef salad had more of a lead than that that split shows.
Yeah, maybe a little bit of a, um, of a misleading number there. So maybe 30, 40 seconds
on both splits, sort of the 20 second minutes, what that we have here? I don't know.
Very uncareptist of it, in-peen though, as we saw as game play in the last season of playoffs,
canny bounce back, you know, isn't early, right? I mean, he is EST, so it is 2 p.m. But I remember a
a few days ago, he said he was going about it seven in the morning. So maybe it's early for him.
Maybe he didn't warm up that at all. Maybe the nerves are getting down. Maybe he sounds
aura is too much. Those three times in the top seven versus the two times that infusion
is the top seven. My little mental storyline. I mean, I don't know. Let's see what see the
point for you. See two or two, they're a room portal or a desert temple. And up on infium,
I'm going to want to give it a desert temple sort of pioneer of the new meta of just forcing
and no food.
We didn't see that in the Douglas HCI game, though,
though those runners often kill some cows,
but infing really forcing.
Not, I mean, most specifically on the Desert Temple
scene, but sort of just with every seat type overall
is I'm gonna play with no food.
If you don't, you're gonna lose,
stuck it up.
Let's play no food together.
So, yeah, if you're finding the route,
the meta change is in the top level of gameplay,
can he have an overworld advantage on this temple?
Because you didn't in the shipwreck, and maybe that's a mental thing that gets in your head.
I mean, I experience that to some extent, right?
Especially picking a seed type that, you know, you're confident and as a player.
Like, it's like, if you think, oh, I'm going to gap on this desert,
I'm going to gap on this desert, I'm going to gap on this desert,
see, and then you start playing it and you feel like you're playing the overall
well, and then you look at the player progress and they're in the
And then I had their first that can really, really, really didn't do it, maybe I just have a bad mental, but I'm like, that's just that's my experience.
No, I think that's a normal thing, right? Like, I would ever, even, I feel like I experienced that as well.
Like, you feel like you're doing everything right, if someone's ahead of you, it's like, ah, that's, that's that is, that is tough.
But I mean, when you're going against someone like beef salad, I feel like, I think, you know, in the movie room, low to you,
I don't know can't actually tell it's it. Yeah. So anyways, let's see what we've got here.
It is. We have a room for all.
Yeah, I'm going to say. So we don't need to. We had a fire charge in this chest. We have two
gold pickaxes as well. Not like we're going to really need blocks in this desert Temple Seed,
but they're going to be nice for bass running. I think I just saw a notch in the inventory. Yeah,
this is a fast Temple Seed potentially if I'd ever seen one. The big downsides of the Temple Seed
is really no food and no flint a lot of the time because you know you have your blocks,
you obviously have your iron, you have teensy to get your wood and you know extra blocks,
but the food and the flint is usually the main problem, but this room portal,
but a fire charge and the temple is a notch, those are not going to be problems and in-fume
with the commandingly on this overall. Low, one, enter, I mean this, if this is another,
there's a good enough, this could be a sub seven temple, this would be, this would be crazy.
Yeah, let's see what we've got here, a bit of a double structure there, always exciting
to see some wacky seeds, but in either case, we got the speed bridge up to this fire terrain
here for infium is, look at this beef salad though taking this lower terrain, so definitely
immediately a difference in how they're choosing to approach the seed.
I think we will left here, I mean, it's hard for me to place like, I don't know where,
I think, yeah, beef salad sort of down into the right on infium stream right now if you
You got to put his little ghost there.
And I think we have something blocks.
So you can do what Beastiles's doing right now
and just sort of gain height.
Incean taking a ton of damage early.
Wasn't up there for any sort of vocalist there.
He's in three hearts.
Maybe he could see him even eat the notch pre-bashing,
but he's just going to offer the gaps.
I mean, two gaps in a notch on a seat like this.
Really, you can be pretty reckless with your damage taking.
But obviously, it's hard to tell because infam was just
show ahead into the seed, but look at these sounds to rain.
He's on top of this triple triple, moving around.
And if you kind of came in it from the bottom and to the side.
So I don't really know what I liked better.
I think keeping height is sort of a general good place.
So I kind of like what Infium did, but maybe it was just a little bit too much to the side.
What is B-cell doing here?
That was an interesting key, dug down to connect these triples.
Surely it just kind of works, but Infium's doing this a little differently.
Maybe this is better.
Oh, well, I mean, he's on one heart.
So it was just full.
I just saw him on one heart and a pick of the whole.
That's not where you want to be.
So immediately, this is looking
like better for infium, but oh, man.
Yeah, that is, that isn't fortunate.
We was trying something new that I haven't seen before
connecting the triples.
It's awkward to go from that right triple to the middle triple.
Yeah, because the pickups kind of hit their head.
You know, I'm at like weird staircase in that you can kind of,
it's kind of a one way, so key dug, down to blocks instead of sideways.
And then sort of put himself in this fall trap.
And he couldn't, I guess, get out of the fall trap.
Because there's just two blocks on the left and the right
that sort of, that's when gets the pig stuck in the first place.
He was hitting his head there, couldn't get out.
And one goal, they just couldn't distract all 10
big ones or however many that he had in that hole. And I mean, this is still very
fast of the interview, but I don't see like this where he still has a notch that he
hasn't eaten. I don't know the odds of death are just so low. How can be
thought possibly come back from this?
And those were the skeletons nicely. We expect to see him TNT this spot or I mean,
it should be like he said if I'm going to be pretty clean here, not too many
things that could go wrong. But there's always the possibility, you know, never know.
A lot of pressure still on the seed regardless, given this fact that we're on, we're in playoffs here.
So I think the important thing is if in-fume can realize that, you know, if you've
solid took that death right, how to reset the seed, if you can make that realization,
well, she should at some point, maybe he has already based on the advancements. But that will
allow him to play a lot safer, right? Maybe not go for some crazy zero or something like that.
So that's always the thing that keep an eye on
and these kind of seeds is we'll infuse,
push his luck or we'll he play it safe.
So I don't know, we'll up see.
Yeah, I mean, I'll realize probably as soon as he blunts
and has a little bit of time to breathe in that portal
animation, I know, infuse doesn't play with advancements
turned on, but he still has always to the player,
progress indicator there in the top right both those runners do.
But I mean, if you're an infuse fan,
this looks like a very free one on the second CD.
He's got a notch.
He's got gold picks.
He's got nine explosives.
Yeah.
Like basically, if you're trying to build an inventory
for the end of the game, and you're asking like,
yeah.
Oh, can I have nine explosives?
That's a little overkill, but sure.
Can I have a couple gold picks?
Like you know, you should always have that,
but sure.
Can I have a notch?
Like really?
But if you know all of that,
he has everything in the situation.
Yeah.
Not sure, I mean, this goal pick has the efficiency or on breaking or something.
He has an enchanted goal pick on the list, is on full health, even before you're in a notch.
We can probably, you know, twice eat this, obviously no longer reads the add-al.
He's just going to eat it early because obviously it doesn't really matter.
So it's 24 flash.
And this isn't the sub seven that I was helping for, but this is pretty fast.
I mean, we didn't have to build, you know, a hundred blocks to get to this batch,
and maybe we'd be in a different situation here, but this could be a low six stronghold
on a table seed for infium.
Yeah, I mean, the season has been really good overall. Just yeah, like you said,
have that a little bit of bridging just took some time. I would have loved to see some crazy fast
temple time, but it's all right, it's still pretty good. I mean, this is still pretty fast. If we get
it's a now so low seven, maybe mid seven, doesn't like any spike he's getting so far, but I mean,
be you saw it's still in the bastion. So in a lot of time to find the correct spike.
like, yeah, and let you said,
since Beach Salad's selling the bastion
infium at this point, 100% nose
that these salad cells are there, there it is.
Here we go.
Two eye here, very clean.
Both end.
I don't need the gold picks.
Scott three of them on the inventory.
Nine explosives front, maybe 97.
A hundred, but great pro.
We go for top, that up here.
And we need to have to see with the initial bow here,
can just take it safe, you know, six beds,
couple of anchors as backup.
But great thing is on the board,
nerdy, we're tied up after a seed to a death from beef salad.
Surely not the most exciting seed, as far as, you know,
the fact that we just saw a death there.
I mean, that can't happen, of course, but regardless,
I owe the overall match is starting to get interesting, right?
I know you, Fimer, we're saying that the stats of infium were looking, I mean, I think it was what 60 to 30 it as far as their,
yeah, they're wouldn't rate against each other, but infium now, but it is tight game right now, it's a tight game and at one point infium was losing.
So, this is definitely shaping up to be a good series overall.
Yeah, I mean, as we can see there, three minutes into the portraits difference, it's just all came down to the deaths from beef salad.
Yeah, speaking of the stats as well, Nuri, it's close to 60-thirty.
If you count these two matches, these runners just played, obviously, they may be
up to you to new each other at the start of season 10.
So I actually can check that right now.
Can you pair, in the premium?
Because obviously those are just the season 9 stats.
They have never played each other at season 10, so this holds true.
Since the start of season 9 nerdy, we're coming up on their 100th game with each other.
Infnium has 167 B-Sodes 132.
So it's around a two and three chance for infium.
But B-Sodes only has something to more.
Yeah, only two more.
I mean, there's lots of opportunities for, I mean, we saw some mistakes from infium.
I will say, and I don't know, maybe it was the pressure, maybe it was,
or, you know, it could be a lot of different things.
But I will say, do you feel like infium on that first seed looks shaky?
And now on this seed, he did look a lot, it looked a lot smoother.
So I definitely feel like we could have a good match here.
I feel like, yeah, on that first seed,
so many mistakes from infu on that second seed,
we saw one big mistake from BXL.
So hopefully we can get a match
or neither of them make any big mistakes
and we can see a close match, but I'm looking forward to this.
Yeah, and actually before we get to C3,
we're going to start out with a phone
to break down about death on the specifically
of a terrain decision as well.
A very big difference at the start of the seed
for both runners and all aspects of the seed.
So we're going to start out with a full them
And then we'll be back here with C3 after the mid-master analysis.
So one plays one infumes, infumes, losing out on that first seed, and I have nothing to
analyze from that first seed. I think it was a pretty comprehensive victory for beef salad,
having a faster bastion of faster fortress and a faster stronghold, just consistently
gaining time throughout. But unfortunately, beef salad took a little bit of a tumble
in the second scene. Now, one of the talks specifically about the terrain that was taken.
Notice the B-Sound used this lower terrain and eventually had to build up to end up going
on the exact same terrain that infium did. And of course, the death is the most important part
of this seed, in my opinion, that I wanted to talk about because I know that the commentators
ever slightly missed exactly what happened. But yes, I think that Fineberg was able to
communicate the great gist of things we went and traversed all the way across to the
furthest triple to grab the gold there to play our triple triple route going to all
three triple chest ramparts as we can see here going on the top building down here
and because these bastions are ever slightly offset with the ramparts being one or two
blocks offset between each other. We unfortunately do have a different spot that
infugues down in here. Digs down two blocks. I really like the play. It is kind of
probably new to most top runners to have to do this in this situation. And after
digging those two blocks down, he throws the golden to lure the piglins from
this spot on the right hand side to fall down because they're not actively
trying to fall into that hole, he wants to try and lure them in first and he does exactly
that by throwing a few in gets more pigs to fall in on top of him while equally trying
to distract them with that goal. Unfortunately, he then instantly picks it back up and
notice the hot bar here. He throws from 45 down to 44 and as he falls in the hole,
the gold count goes back up to 45, meaning that he actually does re-pick up that
gold, agroving all of the piglins around him to start hitting him as you'll notice. He gets hit once
or twice here and because of the entity cram in this situation, he has a one block gap to try and
squeeze himself through before all of the piglins not able to do so, being battered around left
and right, trying to squeeze through this one block gap unable to do so. And I'm not going to hold
you any longer, let's go and see an amazing C3 between infub and B-side right now.
Yeah.
Sweet.
Yeah.
I was just one major fashion estate taking a death obviously so unrecoverable, you know,
compared to 20 seconds here and there in the fashion and before I find it a spawner,
always can kind of claw back that time, but we have to reset the world three minutes in, not much you can do,
but let's get it to see three nerdy enough stalling for these runners.
We're getting into a room portal scene.
and we kind of had a room portal seed,
last seed.
In some way.
Yeah, I was going to say last year.
We got kind of a split seed.
We got kind of a preview of what this seed's going to be
with that room portal with the NOS.
So hopefully we'll get another helpful room portal on this one.
But hey, we might also, like we said,
we might also just get, you know,
no iron pick, bucket, not a little portal.
That's always a possibility as well.
Yeah, I mean,
I mean, somewhere in portals can be ugly,
but look at the times in these first two runs,
low eight and a mid seven.
And this is supposed to be our fastest seed type,
what the two fastest peak runners we have
in playoffs, meeting in the run of 16.
But there's the sub six potential on playoffs.
This is it, right?
This, this has to be the only CB's
are the two runners you'd want in this situation
for this room portal.
And it's completely, it's all in your quick scan there, looking for mapless, but there
is nothing, no chess, but we have, or no swords, sorry, but we have enough iron to make
a pickaxe, so not the worst could still be fast.
Really all comes down, obviously, to the nether, the bastion situation.
I'm going to be mining at this tree here, both runners looking very, very similar set up
So far, both runners with three months.
And my name is Axe M3.
I mean, that's what you'd expect, right?
It's very linear seed.
So far, we do have the iron pit coming out
from both runners here.
Would shovel there for B-celled, no shovel for MPU?
So I guess that's kind of the first thing I'm noticing
differentiating these runners.
But we do have the gold, my doubt,
and maybe a second early or for B-celled?
Yeah, it's such little differences in the micro there.
Doesn't matter too much just a second or two like you said before be sad and I think it's on spawn they are going to
different ways in trying to force way more left here
around this fortress be so I'm going to the right
Okay, yeah, they are still going to the same fashion. I was worried about looking in theme
terrain be saw us to build and sort of go down here and you have a kind of in a similar situation but
But it looks like he's going to be able to fully keep the height on the way to the
bastion.
And this left turn just worked better.
And it's just a bastion that we want to be the top for is this housing.
I think it is.
So as beef saw going to fight his way up the bastion is he going to play manhunt.
He isn't going to fight his way up the bastion.
But this is a solid 15 seconds here that infames made up on just the turn.
Do you still have to figure out what even bashing this is that is housing? No, it's stable. I wow. Okay, I do you. It's
Housing ask I I can't lie. I thought it was housing for second as well
It's always hard would like the one one of the ramparts is covered and it looks like there's just two, you know
Yeah, the vegetables done the dashing so you can't hit them too much. That's that's fair. I mean, that's fair
And now in this triple gap situation, in few going through the middle double, let's see what B-Saw does, wasn't even a good gap here, I wasn't fully watching.
No, it wasn't, so we don't even really get a choice, but B-Saw is choosing to go down through the bad gap instead of through the double interesting.
I don't necessarily think this is the right play, and maybe you say the next should
pick your two of you here.
Got a baby hoglin he's dealing with on two and a half hearts trying to let these piglins
through.
But if he gets hit just once here, B-Sod will be done again in a bastion, but it looks
like he saved himself from another massive mistake here.
But it's just a little worse.
the right. I mean, if you're the whole agent to mutants, so you tell him I have to eat the third
mutton here even, or it's going to be it now probably not, but my point is he's going to really
have one mutton left, so it's definitely a little bit scary compared to in few who's just
got one extra mutton. And that's not only a big difference, but I feel like one extra mutton can
totally help in this kind of situation. Yeah, this fort isn't on spot. Like it's on spot, but it's not
close to the vassion necessarily. We're going to have to throw a couple of pearls in fuse leaving now.
Now, and then because this fortress is on spawn, and obviously it's not going to be potentially
that close to a stronghold, right?
So we're going to have to throw more pearls to get this head stronghold.
So the fact that the infium is in this fort now, basically, full HP, two-month-and-a-gap still
he might not have to agree, said, till the stronghold or even in general.
And this is a very commanding lead now, it seems like he's saved even more time in the
the bashing itself, the bashing still waiting on trees.
Yeah, I just know a bit of a rough bashing
therefore beef salad, unfortunate.
In view, making it a lot of time here,
able to start to create a bit of a commanding lead, I'd say
as we are crafting an iron axe and a sword as well.
Yeah, these sounds still trying to find the best terrain to the forties, Eden is gap
that pearl lands on the forties got too straight here, but just so behind on this split,
maybe 30, 40 seconds flip off a little bit, I'm going to catch that second rod, so that's
just a little bit more damage he's taking.
Yeah, very hard for Pisa to make us so much time here in this for maybe those two
strays matter, but I doubt it's the time that Pisa needs just off of that.
It was for the double blaze bed, like maybe that'll save him a little bit of time there.
It's possible, but yeah, like he said, if I'm, I mean, this lead for infumers is looking
really strong so far.
and I feel like a lot of it came down to that terrain, a lot of it, I guess just like
feeling a lot of damage in the bastion, it's like a couple little mistakes here and there.
I remember listening to that first seed for a minute.
Oh baby, fuck's down, you're gonna, oh my gosh, you're just gonna leave it.
Watch, see that like three times ever in clipcops and now it's happened in playoffs.
Baby, it's last one.
And I, so if any of us are way to long time for this next, this last rod, I mean,
what a way to a he's got a spawn cycle here is this blazing a drop it does okay so he's not too
punished for that but it's definitely a few seconds that beef salad now doesn't have to deal with
and these all has twelve ice so he's made up a majority of the time here
as he's now in the courts
yeah yes yes yes I'm gonna wait for it
yeah I mean I don't know the two strays as well maybe saved him one cycle and maybe in
if he was two cycles behind me because he had to get seven rods
because of the baby fox.
Let's see here.
Now, pick for this wall, I don't think the beef salad does,
so he's gonna be saving a little bit more this time back.
He's gonna do it.
He's gonna do it.
It was like, yeah, I thought it was your place.
Don't be so silly, it's portal.
He doesn't do any digging at all.
And if he was not gonna have to hungry set from this gap,
he should have enough health,
especially with the absorption to be able to fight through.
any sort of buried situation.
Weird, strong maps so far.
Is this spike down here?
It is.
It is.
And you tell it.
And you tell us to hungry.
We said, you have to do that by the way, so here.
Five better one anchor for in-fume.
So if it's in a no-wing zero, it's open though.
So it shouldn't be too crazy.
94, 97 here.
94, so should ease the go with the 99.
In-fume should have seeded three here in the bag.
A lot closer than it looked, heading into the fortress,
beef-saled saved so much time on the split,
but it just wasn't enough.
The terrain to the bastion again, nerdy, different in this sea
and infing pulling ahead, going to win in seed three.
Can we start with two plus two to save some, or a,
oh no, breaks the bed, and obviously had to try to go for it
if anything.
Oh, and that's unfortunate.
And yeah, I mean, looks like that, that's Fox.
there that be sound higher to stop inf human fortunately is planned to not
in the work inf human gets the win 735 very clean from inf human taking
seed number three to one lead here.
Yeah, the bashing so far away relatively again, right?
Like these room portal seeds that desert temple seed potential to be so fast.
And the splits aren't that accurate because in view stepped into the fort on the way to the
bastion. I wish there was, and there's really just not a good way to do that. You'd
have to clear the advancement or something. So we can't check the specific splits there,
but these are must have been 40 seconds behind, 50 seconds behind and during the fort, you
know, from the bastion. And he saves it basically all back somehow off of the two strays and
the baby fox. That's a sentence I'm probably never going to say in. But it's not enough
now. Just a 10 second difference. I mean, just a one second difference is all you need to
win a seed. And that's what if you had enough longer reset the food management. It's what
it came down to. As we're going to need to see for what's a beef salad going to pick. He can
kick from any seed type. He won on the shipwreck and he's going to the BT. It's
interesting. It's impossible, yes, the chunk, possibly slow on the scanning for the
BT and save some time. And then again, the crafting. Yeah, it's going to send a
little bit of a story. Obviously, practice more than probably almost any runner. I
I mean, definitely more of an infium, maybe, you know, do dial or trippy, give these
auto reference mice and form or plus players that we've seen, like, just specifically
on BT and loot crafting.
So we'll see if these odds are going to be able to have a lead in this cover one.
If you can take that mental boost, carry it through the rest of the scene.
Yeah, no, I think it could just be, you know, like you said, if I'm bird the crafting,
I don't know.
And these these can just be very mechanical.
We did see, for example, I mean, it could also be a little bit the fact that beef salad
took a, had a pretty commanding lead on that shipwrecks eat.
So you might want to be kind of, have that again.
I mean, infium messed up the one by two.
So just a tiny bit.
But I mean, those small seconds can't matter when the seeds are this close.
So let's see what we've got here.
First two.
If you first.
Yeah.
That's nice.
We have to eat.
Not the best food, but that's all right.
where is the ravine?
Is the big question, as always?
But nerdy, I don't even think these games
have been really decided by the overall,
the last two season of in Beafsauld
taking some sub-optimal terrain in the neather,
so maybe a little bit overwhelmed.
I mean, maybe it's a cascading decision in the overall, right?
Like, you're behind in the overall,
you instantly start thinking, oh, like,
I can do something to make up the song, right?
Like, I'm already 10 seconds on one split.
And when you're in the bash and the routes,
you know, for the most part of the same,
in the fortress you get to a spawner the place
so I'm gonna be the same.
It feels really hard to make up that time
a lot of the time, at least an mentally,
even if it's obviously
everyone ever makes mistakes always.
So it's never over
until the dragons that are in the place in the fountain.
But it can feel that way off of just the overall sometimes.
And so maybe B-sub just spent a little bit overwhelmed.
Bye.
If you space.
But look at this, it's all that finds the ravine
significantly before I don't even know if you
even close to any remaining to be honest. Is this one here for him? Okay, looks like this is one. Yeah, I think. Yeah. Oh, this is not the same
ravine that B's also that I think. No, it's definitely not. B's all messed up as first portal. He's going to offer
all in the second portal. And if he was going for a two by one here, so he could save up all this time.
And he messed up too. Oh, wow. I mean, speaking of mental booms, both these runners now with awkward
situations. Like, in terms of dealing with this portal, but it's, there's like, look,
dire, or granite, I don't know the name, so I had a sand just fell and replaced that
situation. He's going to door in the back here, water on the side, standing on,
why don't I, what is happening? What is happening? And he's starting to, yeah. That was,
that was wild. That was wild. But he is in the another, finally, bit of a disaster there for
for both runners, but B-Soul now has a bit of a lead,
urging to, the vast.
Yeah, is the trainees runners take gonna be different here?
And if you're going up, maybe a little more,
I'm not sure the way B-Soul took this,
and it looks like they're kind of heading towards the same
kind of cave area.
If you're going maybe higher up though,
B-Soul's built a long way here, I think,
if you've saved a lot of time in this terrain again,
just sort of looking at the situation,
It's hard to tell exactly where these runners are.
A relative to each other.
Maybe in few going way far left here,
sort of thrown that lead.
It's so unclear, can you keep this height
all the way to the treasure?
Can he, does he have enough blocks?
Does he have more dirt?
He says mining in the treasure here,
maybe to save some blocks.
Let's see.
Above, I mean, I feel like if you've saved a lot of time back.
Yeah, I don't know, it's hard to say exactly,
but look in few now,
oh man, we're clicking on to,
oh, he's gonna walk in here.
Good matter.
Yeah, no that could.
If you guys, the read dirt left for the movement here,
so he's got it burned some of his wood
on the few blocks you need to place in this treasure route.
Just a couple, but he has to craft some sticks,
he has to craft some blaze buds,
he grabs this crack, blocks stone,
good heads up play from in few.
So we should have enough here,
have enough explosives for the zero cycle comfortably.
As these orders get into the stairs around him.
Yeah, just clean.
Routing here so far, nothing that going to run.
Obviously, Trigger can be a little dangerous,
but these runners are perfectly experienced.
And nothing's going wrong.
So far, yeah, it was interesting to see the difference
in their terrain now.
I mean, I think that's something that we've kind of seen
a lot of, honestly, in view just opting to go
for the higher terrain, the higher option,
when riding, going to the bastion
compared to V-Sail, who, again,
we've seen going kind of the lower side
and build up at this time, going through the bastion.
So definitely interesting to see
how these two runners approach straight now.
I'll take for any team, taking a little bit of damage
and it seems pretty even, but we don't want to turn
a food, right?
Cod somewhere to bred, so V-Sail, basically,
is three bred, if you must forward,
right if you're trying to translate that in your head
to a more relatable food source.
Which is not that much, right? Like the fort's definitely a couple pearls away.
You need to see someone grow to stand come out and obviously it's not impossible to dodge all sort of unintentional damage.
Random place spawns on the random skeleton or where there's skeleton. So we'll see
how these runners deal with the situations presented in them with the food challenges. But these are
that first things like you say you're a little bit of time in this bastion. But this is an SSV fort's
That could be some stray action.
Infirm, loves playing for the stray's.
I hate the most playing for the stray is right.
He likes that and only one, but could save a cycle.
It's possible, maybe the second one.
Oh, he's got two, maybe you're there.
Look at beef salad, zero, stray's.
This could save, in few of the time that he needs.
The floor, stray's in here as well.
Oh, geez.
Two more on the left.
Yeah, lots of stress here.
This is how are you going to commit
probably from this water entirely.
Because there's two more up here as well.
The skeleton, not even going to be a problem
because the place has shot the skeleton.
So in view, look at the rod count.
Oh, look at it.
Off the straight and great.
And now a lot of them.
Skeleton got a shot off on him.
So he has just this one caught.
Maybe that's the hungry set on the way
to the stronghold.
This plays this off. He's going to try to save you off. This is potentially a lot of time
Save hits about a clock. Can you get the rod here? Yes, you can.
He's the wrong. He's the wrong. He's the wrong. He's the wrong. He's the wrong.
He's the wrong on three granted. If you multiply the aircraft's or inventory anything right now.
He's on three and a half. So how far this stronghold away is away?
Could determine if you need so long to reset here. And if you have so long to reset here,
nerdy, it's a pretty big deal, because he has nothing pre-crafted. Look at those
offsets, 470 and 1300. You want that to be the 470's show badly, but looking at B-Sounds
and then bought, that's not what it's looking like, 1400. So in Fium, he does have the
blaze bend pre-crafted. So excuse me, he does get to get this, this hunger reset off pretty
quickly. He has nothing else who are right, and he needs one more rod. So that's going
to be so interesting, he's going to go for more straits, he's going to play this
fodder. I mean, he could be out here, depending if this rod is drops, it does
not even for more straits here. But 75% chance he gets one from one of these guys.
Okay, twice there. Oh, he's been on the pearl. He's got three more straits
around, but there's nerdy, there's a lot of where there's going here, and there's
some skies, but if you're in a really scary spot, if he's going to aggro this one,
And he's got a home of this drop and he can just get out of here, he doesn't drop, I don't think.
Okay, peace out. He's now out to courts of the straits that looked so good 30 seconds ago now,
correct this, because all these winners go to see here. The one scouts and boxing
out of the entire left side of this fortress, the rest of the blazes entirely, nothing
anything can do. The yin and yin of strays and the yin comes back to fight with the
You said it might be dead.
He's on too much here.
I can't on him this poor anymore.
Drew, Drew.
And I see if we're talking about all of this.
And he's dead.
He said,
Commandingly in the lead now,
he's not going to know he could die in the stronghold.
But nerdy, the straits just too much to handle even for some would save the
on of Minecraft's, you don't know, couldn't put it away in the fourth quarter. Well, it's
C4. So is there over time C5? I don't know. I'm going to hold it too hard here with the,
let's see my stuff. I like it. I like it. I like it. I don't know. It's too much.
Let's go. It's about all my stuff. Okay, now it's going to just play it safe. This is good,
especially because he is ahead. Very nice. He doesn't know his idea. At any point,
can get found stronghold like there's no indicator for beef salad that
infemes dead. That is true. Obviously if he's been in the stronghold for three
minutes and infemes still isn't in the stronghold you can start to kind of
piece it together but there's no sort of breathing indicator you don't know
how much time you have and in this situation no like your heart your mind just
starts racing it's like oh my god because at any point infemes can just get
the strong. Maybe he finds a spike that you just don't have. And you have to keep your
composure. No where you haven't haven't been. No what spikes you haven't haven't checked
is there is always water. And he was making his way back and granted, he still needs the
one extra rod. He's got to get to his stuff. I think he boxed up. So it should be all fine.
Yeah, it's I think it looked like a new thing. Maybe it's a good back here. Like,
Do you kill these blazes for the last rod like
Or do you just try to get your stuff?
Hasn't gotten shot once yet he has a wood pick so maybe can just sort of warm all through here. These salads still
No
Port over
Jubilee this will be a struggle for infium as well, but yeah, this is
You always think that when in these situations
Sometimes there's just nothing,
like if it comes under just sort of orange you,
there's no spike, it's fully cold,
it's like 10 rooms deep.
It just feels random, right?
And if someone just randomly goes the other way,
it's possible.
But why?
If you've got the six out,
he has no fire res.
I don't know what the terrain looked like.
There's a fully burning library for B-Saud.
He still hasn't found the pier, granted again.
He's got that manager over infium where he's checked
every, he's checked the majority of the stronghold nerdy,
but every single place that he's checked,
isn't where the portal room is,
and it's always just in the last place you look.
So if infemes last place, he looks as faster than these others,
it doesn't matter that beef style's got
the rest of the stronghold map that like the back of his hand.
It does not matter whatsoever.
But he's firing the portal room.
Finally, wow, as if he could take the gear off.
And so maybe a little bit of confidence
to reach out, you know, you do have that massive lead.
Apparently, B.L. is like the one eye of this kind of an interesting
of that was a zero eye. It's could not have even tracked that among the
sea of everything that was happening in this seed. Oh my goodness.
But it's front cage nerdy. There's no way that beef salad
messes up. This is zero. Surely we're going to see five. And infium
misses stronghold. Maybe you had to build higher because of
of lava in the terrain, I wasn't even watching.
There's impossible to keep track of everything on this scene.
But it's over.
There it is, yeah.
I mean, that was a bit of a chaotic scene.
And instead, in the start of the scene.
Oh, that's not what you'd like to see.
Honestly, I wonder if that's going to be tilting,
like that's the only thing that the only downside of that is
in the middle of the scene is necessarily fun
for either player.
And a sea of fun.
They true, well, that is fair.
That is a way over to an 1139.
Not even, oh, hi, oh, hi, 1140.
Granted, three minutes strongholds splits, maybe no spike, maybe mobs in the spike.
But, 1139, from these two runners in playoffs.
But hey, it gets us to a C-5.
It was an exciting match.
It was an exciting match.
I feel like we were asking for like a seed
where neither runner makes a mistake
and then I feel like that seed was just so much chaos
on both ends.
It kind of evened out.
I don't know.
I'm hoping for Game 5.
I want to see both runners on really good pace.
Neck and neck.
That's what I'm hoping for, Fiber.
That's what I believe.
Yeah, I mean, this seed is hard to say.
whether or not mistakes were made necessarily, but there was just so much
different decision making and both, well, okay, both owners messed up their
portals a couple of times, went to different meetings, but just it's the
beauty and the chaos of Minecraft, right? When you're forcing yourself to
spawn 50 moms in a fortress, things just happen, right? Like when you're
in a stronghold in the portar rooms, 12 rooms, they be getting those
like things just happen and it's just been put together game the back and forth of these
different decisions the way these runners are playing the same seed in completely different ways
I mean different regions different terrain to the bastion different fortress plays you know spawn
over snow spawner and then obviously we didn't get to see if you can get lost in that
labron that was stronghold but it's crazy and apparently beef south sent them one eye just
There's something we missed in the chaos,
in that storm of a seed for.
As we're going to the village,
nerdy, it's another all over world,
best of five.
We got a name for this.
I was thinking Neapolitan,
but I don't think that really works,
because that's usually like three, right?
That's like the Miller chocolate strawberry,
and we got five seed types.
It's gonna be a good name for a best of five,
where we get one of everything.
I'm sure we could think of something good, I'm sure, but I agree with you, if I'm
ready to go see this all the way in the right, I feel like it is the ideal situation.
Hey guys, full house is two and three, it's I can be full house, come on, that's not.
We need to bet it now.
Well, work on it.
We'll have a good name for next week and surely it'll have a next week and
We've just like three of these, this bracket so far at least, right?
I feel like this has happened a lot.
I mean, compared to last season where there were no game fives at all,
like we are getting spoiled in season nine.
Yeah, with the quality of these season quality and the matches.
What is this village going to give us nerdy?
And if you want to close game, we're going to want to close overworld the most
then seed type right in the 20 second lead, or 20,
or 20, when rate lead, and like 30 second average lead
over B-celled on the seed type.
I like B-celled's play of punching.
I was gonna say,
looks, because now, you can just have to craft this to next.
Right away.
We'll have to see if this ends up mattering here.
And if there's a shorty sort of right here,
and there is a second blocks with some maybe,
maybe the craft anything,
maybe the stone mining was a little bit ambitious,
And this is now interesting decision that we can make do we make just a bucket or do we make shears and
a shovel
Yes, it's gonna be here
He's held the three iron. These salads already pre committed to the shovel
So he's gonna have to make shears as well, but if you make me shears think it's just the right play
Right, there's not a great way to get blocks otherwise and there was Flint that these runners ran past at the start of
the seed
It's just a variance that could have happened.
Bob is nothing. It's correct. Neither of these runners did.
But actually my feel has just routed this village
better. I mean, he's sheared trees in a better location.
This go a little stalk so we sit here.
It's a little bit time here.
Excuse me there for a second.
Goans can always be a little funky there with their path
But any other case infium is good to go finding this gravel over here in this little lake
Beast out already has found his gravel. So now we see this no
Leaves
interesting and if he was just a second or two behind him
He saw his no blocks and we're just in this cage at tree here. So he's got a like pretty scuffed way to grab blocks here
It's gonna try to go up this tree
So you're just going to commit to the leaves,
yeah, as an infuse already starting the portal here.
So just a little bit better ordering from infume,
you know, those trees, oak and birch trees next to the village.
He's a little bit ahead.
As we spawn on the batch and it's this treasure, it is.
It's good full stuff.
Yeah, I mean, very, very close, but I don't know.
There's few seconds.
It's kind of what we'd expect based on the stats.
Just infune running a little bit smoother overall.
And now we see B-cell entering probably what 10 to 15 seconds behind.
Yeah, and if you're a B-cell, how do you mentally shake this off behind in the overall on game five?
Pick your band. I mean, this happened to me.
Yes, no.
They didn't feel great, nerdy. I will say it did not feel great.
Taking your band, being behind from the overall bias.
You have to get it out, it doesn't feel great.
So how does beef salad bounce back from this situation?
Keep the composure, keep the mechanics up.
Because we've seen, if you lose minutes, post fashion, right?
Now, I'm going to see that last week.
Even just in the Fortress Play alone,
we've seen him take sub-optimal routing in the Fortress in scene two.
Yeah, exactly.
I think it's because we wanted to write just play,
I mean, it sounds dumb, but just try not to let that get to your head,
try to focus up and just play the C-discoopies you can.
We've seen if you make a lot of mistakes, like you said,
if I'm Rick, so while if you does have a nice lead here,
going into the seat, it is not over whatsoever.
You've said a lot of hobby in that single,
but they're having a lot of gold blocks in the rest
of this treasure, so is this going to be a low explosive
situation unclear with the beds in the anchors?
Okay, so both runners have one bed from the village
that they've grabbed, that could be a separation factor.
You know how many beds can use for the plays bad because if we get low string from this sort of situation
But we're gonna have the 20 of sitting in if 30 six to be exact even it's just lower than X
For beef sound and he's looking for the for this could be playoff's nerdy for either runner
Where is the forks on this treasure bastion seed infium has not broken the spawner beef salad?
I don't know why I can try to say blaze mine looking around is he gonna come into the right and instead of left
And she was going to the left and he's found it beef salad and beef salad going to the right.
A little bit of a one more there just outside the side of the bastion.
And leaving it on her.
Two straight here for beef salad.
He's couldn't end up mentoring.
I don't know where the spawner. He can't block off these weather scalies. He's going to try to bait them in here.
Beautiful play from beef salad.
And if you on a spawner here.
Put the square here.
here for beef salad, but yeah, beef salad is trying to scan for the
spawner. I think he's in the same hallway that if he was in, it's just so
unclear. Exactly where these runners are heading, is this going to open
up to that exposed spawner? Where is beef salad if you're beef
So when he needs to find the spawner like now and he still can't
Finally, I'll turn it and it's a different spawner, okay, okay
This could theoretically open up some variance for be saw that may get more time as well if he gets a different
I think we have a single blaze, but and he gets a one spawn off this. Infirm as an open spawner. So he's gonna have more blaze is spawning on average
Infim's got seven explosives, four eyes already, no spare fire res, but if the rates aren't
horrendous his first one shouldn't run out, he's got a pretty commanding lead on this
seed, but what are the straws going to be nerdy, that's 1500 away, or maybe 1200 for
infim, negative positive?
Is it going to be closer?
Is he going to have a different terrain?
Infim, pretty ahead here, but unclear until obviously we're in the straw, until we're
and tell the dragons dead.
In view, the last of the audience, exactly.
It's not great to ring though.
Look, everybody's able to feel this pro.
He saw it at the same stronghold.
He's a little closer from the Nimbop,
but I have like the terrain that infemes has better
as he is leaving.
B.S.D. needs one more rod
and his pearl misses on this ocean portal.
I've already behind and now even more so. See how this stronghold is though. I mean,
this could first aside the mesh infium with the lead, hoping for a very fast stronghold
here. Let's see what we have. And the saw it has no sixth rod infium has a great spike
down mid. Popping to go more right here. But even if there's a little bit of a micro
a mistake on the nav, which is, you know, maybe kind of happening, digging into a library.
Here is the silverfish, trying to dig to it, beef salad is still just one rod short.
Was it that single blaze bed single blaze spawn that ruined him here?
As this is not a pull over from him. So very shaking that he's still trying to find the right way to go.
That's fine. And it was top rights. And it was a two eye. So hindsight, you saw it could have sent the
to I. Oh 56. Let's see if infium can close out the seed fibers from 85. Be very, very
hard to mess this up for infium hits the pearl. Doesn't miss the tower. One on the line,
though, nerves could get them. Let's see. Very clean set up so far, though. True. I mean,
all it takes is one missed arrow, one missed double bed. But infium has done the 0 100s.
if not thousands of times and this is going to be the 1,000 first of the winning 3, 2,
over beef salad on seed 5 in the final moments, just finding that spawner faster and
having a little bit better terrain, to court this was sort of the difference maker.
As beef salads drunken will be dead, if not very close to as the portal opens for
but it's just too late.
Great enough.
Moving on, keeping his podium streak alive potentially moving on to next weekend on beef salad.
In the final moments, couldn't get it done.
Save time of the nap though, look 25 seconds of the nap.
And if you just so far had a nap for finding the spawner much, much faster on that enclosed fortress,
the fortress and the straits that Bustal had couldn't make up enough time.
Yeah, overall I think if you're not in a pretty solid day definitely a little bit of
shaking us here and there throughout from both runners but overall I do feel like
both did play well. Hey, we got kind of what we asked for right? A pretty clean, final
seed from both of them and you love to see it. I mean great stuff in few moving on to
next week. I do think we have an interview here so excited to see what in few has to
say, but yeah, great. Great. If it's see, we got another game, best of five. I just love
Best of five, Fimer again. And I'm just grateful to have those. Let's see what if you
have to say about that match. See what his experiences thoughts were in theme, welcome to the
booth. How are you feeling after that nerve wracking game five series against beef salad? What
are your initial thoughts? I'm still shaking a little back. I'm like so very like shaky overall. It's
I just, I thought I was thinking going into this like third playoff,
you know, I had the one that did bad, the one where I had one where I do well.
So figure it out maybe kind of like got relax in that situation,
but it's just like the nerves never could ease your man,
the nerves never could ease your.
I was going through your head after like after a loss because you have like one
seed where you took some deaths, one seed where you had like a little shaking
it's in the bash and like what do you tell yourself after the losses to get back into things?
Yeah, I mean, after the first seed, I wasn't too concerned because I mean,
I was a little surprised with how nervous I was,
but you know, coming after that,
I see, I just messed up a lot
just because of the nerves, it's just like,
I felt fine because I'm confident that I can beat the child,
I'm confident that I made better runner.
So I was like, I think I might tell myself,
you know, get the ones you had to like,
get the nerves out and I'll give them a gentleman's sweep,
but I've seen it happen, but I still take the job.
And then as well after that, that's the second seat loss,
I'll say, it's just another thing.
I am okay with the decision I made,
I, I got hit through the crack of the box for the
with the Scully. It's just, I mean, it's a decision
I'll always make. It's just I have to live with the
consequences because it does every ski play to make.
Yeah, you did play for the stress and be found played
through the spawners. That was always interesting to see
you kind of go for like slightly weird plays, but
yeah, walk us through with what made you, was it just the
S's fee? Was there anything about the seed in particular
that made you go for the slightly risky or play there?
It was almost in your favor. I will say like, if you, if
that I didn't break, I mean, you would have been good to go.
Yeah, I remember I looked back. I saw I blinded it on six and he was blinding at three at the spawner
Obviously with pre-craft, so I'm like, I maybe was able to look at that. I felt like I was in the lead, you know, at that moment
But it is just a thing. I try to do a lot on
Fortress is like especially open or SSV works or whatever
Like if I think it is good enough to play for straights
I'll try to lower my renders and check if I have any blazes that I could play for straights
Sometimes it doesn't work out. I lowered on on that fortress. I got plenty blazes
so I thought I could play it, but I didn't really
take into account how many British affiliates I had.
So after I get those blazes or anything like that,
we literally got one last blazed by last rod.
It's just like, it was just really hard to manage all those
with the skillet, especially because that's
so you don't only have five cod.
It's a hard thing to balance, where I know this phrase
are better, but you really only have the flexibility
to do it on C's or you have the food and health to be flexible
and to be going to take some damage.
And the option for strays, I think it's smart, right, and then just sort of, you're, you're giving yourself that ability to make that decision, right?
Like, are we going to go for, obviously, if you get strays, there's one way next to four skeleton you might not go for.
You're not forcing yourself to do it, but the option there.
And I mean, if that last place didn't take, like, like, the last rod didn't take, like, four blazes, and then, you know, situations, obviously really different.
sent a one eye on that scene as well but I guess the final question
chats really wanted me to ask oh you see it's on but the
I'm still in your eye that I'm something that only seen in clipcoms
before today but like I'm on there had I'm to be question sorry to talk about it
I don't know it was because I'd throw two eyes and the second it was the second
I had that the baby fox picked up and it's like you know I try to like kill
take out the box like I want to get the eye back obviously, but like I felt like okay going
back is a new eye to full cycle of blazes at my spawner. I figured like you know it's
an UK-thewed and I'm going to get two to four and then still you know with that time
over that that I have like a max like 25-30 seconds with the next cycle to spawn. I knew
it would be okay but it was just like so yeah that's why I didn't like fully commit trying to
get to the box but it just made it worse as well. Like it was just a baby box and it
boxes so small and I just just it was just such a oh my gosh it just I mean I think I still
So one that seed, so I didn't have not maddening, but it was, yeah, I was laughing myself.
I was, I think that was an amazing moment.
We might need this, the strat that's supported a Fox killing and practice little segment
maybe in the M.C. is our practice map, which is the third time we've seen in now, so it's
obviously a common enough occurrence to have to chase down these baby foxes, but you
didn't want to get to, you're moving on to next weekend and you're going to be playing
the winner of low keywords in the hand, which is the next match up. Any words you have
to say any thoughts on the specific player that you'd sort of want to play or a situation.
I mean, you played low key last season beat him three to one, you think there's going
to be a repeat of that or what are your thoughts?
I mean, I think I think comparatively to last season, I think monkeys are playing more on
these in the better situation. I know I know last season, you didn't have the best sleep,
so I didn't play that well, so if you wins, you know, I like low G, I have a lot of respect
for me's a phenomenal runner, but maybe, you know,
skill like they'll get a little less sleek,
you know, just like, it's just, you know,
it's just like, it's just like, it's helpful.
It helped me out a little bit.
But I think I would personally, I can't
enjoy playing as a name because I would say,
like, I'm good friends with him,
so I think I have a kind of a friendly match
of like that where like,
additionally as well, like being able to
you're playing your friend, you know,
maybe not as much nerves.
So I think, I think I would very much like to play
name, but I mean, I know look me versus look you
be a lot better match for these for this final weekend of playoffs.
Yeah, I mean, we need the drama. We need the drama. We can't people be everyone be nice.
We try their own to be friends. We need to have some drama here.
I mean, yeah, maybe there's been enough drama with all these full game prize.
And I'm let's go ahead and that's fair. I can't complain. I can't complain. That's fair. That's fair.
Well, in the game, we'll see you next week and you move now again, is the third playoffs going
to be yours. Lots of see next weekend. We'll see you back here. Great gameplay. Great
best of five. We'll see you playing next weekend. Thanks for joining us. Thank you. Of course,
got to be here. We're going to be in. Well, there you have it. Another game five. That's
hey. I'm so happy about that. That's amazing. Yes. And we have one more game left today. And
we're just one. Mayan versus Loki battle of the Steve skin. Let's look at the bracket see exactly
how it's shaping up for the last match of the day.
The last player to fill out our quarter finals,
like we just said, going to be playing against
in-game the winner of this next match,
and then we have Steve's versus Hacks,
Aquacord versus Skycrab,
due to Oliver's Blazeman,
very, very different bracket,
yet similar in some ways too,
what we saw last season,
but it's not fully filled out yet
and we have one more game,
and we will be taking a two-minute intermission,
just so we can make sure things are set up before our low givers now and match and then we're
going to get right into it. Steve versus Steve ballast Steve's. So don't go anywhere. We'll be back
and literally 10 minutes.
Welcome back from our very short break. Hopefully you guys got some water, stretcher, legs
or just patiently waiting for the timer to tick down. And we are back, man versus Loki,
community or last match of the day, I'm very excited to see, man, first playoff, auto
called seventh seed, right, then even after I go to your CQ in the bottom for low key,
obviously three time playoffs winner, but the best showing in the last couple seasons.
So we'll see if you can bounce back in season nine and a way, first on exit to class new
cover, nerdy, what are your predictions for this match?
I'm a prediction shaping up.
Oh, I'm going to be honest, okay, yesterday I had an amazing run.
I got four and a four right on the guessing, like the winner.
And I got three to four right guessing the score.
Today, it's not looking as good.
I predicted you see how to win, okay?
So that's, that's an immediate L.
I predicted, it's a three two for in-fume,
but at least in-fume did win that.
I did predict a three O on HMI cable.
So I guess, you know, not a horrible prediction for today,
but definitely not as good as yesterday.
And my prediction for Leedsworth for today was a three to two for Loki.
Well, I'm going to fan a game five.
So I vibe with that prediction.
I don't know exactly who is going to make it out.
But before we get into the player cards, the seed selection,
we do have a player interview with Loki.
Not as first on ploughs, but it's the first interview.
We've had with him, so we're going to throw it over to that,
and then we will get into the stats and the match.
Yo, I'm Loki, I've been speedrunning Minecraft since 2021, and I'm also the current random
species with just world record holder, and the only person with a time under seven minutes.
Getting world record was my favorite thing that I've achieved to make speedrunning
creator, but it's very loud bass, so I think putting in playoff was the harder thing
to pull off.
Thank you playoffs is my favorite thing in Minecraft Speedrunning because I'm a very competitive
present.
Even though I've won three playoffs, I'm very motivated this season to prove that I'm one
of the best speedrunners in the world.
Last season in season 8 I wasn't as motivated to play, but for this season I've been focusing
a lot on my micro gameplay and passions and I think that will help me a lot go into this
season of playoffs.
I'm really happy to have won three playoffs.
first time in season 2, I wasn't sure I was ready to win, but after beating silver, I was
really happy. In season 4, I felt I was playing at my best and I was really willing to win
4-0 in the finals to get my second play out victory. Then in season 6, I beat Dugal,
which meant a lot because I think he's one of the best players in the world and I was
really close match.
Minecraft has so many different ways to play the game, but speedrunning is what I like the most
because I can showcase my mechanical ability in the game. When I started playing, I was
actually quite bad, but I improved really quickly, and I'm very happy that I've been able to accomplish what I have to be learning this game in both World Records and in MCSR Bank.
What do you think, interview? I mean, not only just the first time that we've gotten a chance to truly speak to Loki, but those are questions that you can't really ask anybody else.
somebody else like, oh, what is each of your
players when what is world record mean to you?
What is being the best player ever of all
time or mean to you?
Like, you can't throw that interview question on
anybody else.
Like, it's just crazy or a situation that you
don't know for adding that video.
And then you know, maverse for editing the zero
cycle horrors video from if you'd be
saw a last game as well.
Let's get into the player stats and
let's see if the rank specific stats hold
up, because they know NAND's got some pretty good numbers.
That all of the Steve's got different shirts on, but look at the averages and they're
pretty close.
So are the best ranked times, and I mean, they haven't met too much in the latter,
specifically, but NAND's up to the one, these are pretty close.
Yeah, no, I mean, so this is going to be really interesting.
So the reason why I think so Loki obviously has been practicing and like he said, he's
been getting back into getting good, but NAND's been grinding.
Well, they have been playing a lot, like look how many more matches he has this season.
So, and also a peak elo at a higher peak elo, right?
So, obviously, I do not want to underestimate Loki whatsoever.
I'm not going to do that.
But, I do think Nainhand could be a bit of an underdog here,
insofar as the fact that he's just been playing a lot more.
That being said, I just think the playoff experience diff here for Loki
might be a little bit too much.
That's why I ultimately had Loki going through.
It's going to be hard though. I don't know. Battle of the Steve's, but I feel like the
two Steve's could not be more different, right? We got one player who's been grinding.
There's a bit of a new player going to come to playoffs. The other player, maybe not playing
as much, but still playing a lot, and is the most decorated playoff in playoff's history. So
super excited. Yeah, I think playoffs is such a mental battle. Being able to go back and forth
with the same player over five seeds, different overworlds, keeping your composure,
eight 24 room portal average.
I don't know if you can do the sample sources on that,
but like that, that's pretty disgusting.
Yeah.
But he's got some 10 minute plus averages on shipwork and village
that's something we don't see too often.
And basically almost there on Desert Temple.
So very like bias into these two RSGS seed types,
right room portal, BTO.
I don't know.
Obviously, I'm not trying to say that,
my guy is only going to see things because like this 824 is like a shirt. And 75% win rate
on BT, low 9, that's absurd. But I mean, you look at the village, that's 10 or 1. I mean,
NAND's not giving him too much of a run for his money on that average and win rate as
well. But if we get to have more of these decision making based overall, especially Loki
saying he's been focusing more on his micro, could give NAND the advantage here. Let's see what
see pick bands are let's see expecting maybe room portal band from man village band from
wokie I don't know maybe BT and shipwreck band I could see yeah for both these runners
as a as a temple band from wokie makes sense and the village band from man that's
a bit interesting so we're going to the ruined portal flow and average for
loki on this see time and we are sending it in.
It was like 63% win rate so I feel like that can't be that low of a sample size, right?
I mean, I don't know the exact map on that, but it's not like it's one game or something.
You can't get a 60% win rate of 180 games, right?
So it's just one in five.
It's got 30 games in a room portal, I mean, obviously, let's say it's got 30 games.
You win 2, there is a room that's 20 completions, obviously, that's not the best sample size, but like you said it's still like a race.
It's not like that's three room portal games that he's down in eight.
Yeah, that's 20 that he's averaging 824 through everything and some room portal seats can be pretty ugly
So Loki's making a work on the seed type over and over and over again
Can they have matches speed can the Steve match the Steve?
That's a good question
I will say a very important distinction that we got to bring up here immediately is
This man's rock in the classic blue shirt,
whereas Loki, of course, wearing his unique black shirt.
So a little bit different, that can make a big difference here.
I mean, this in terms of the report,
I was speaking of ugly room,
but this is not enough.
Not enough iron for a bucket, no food, no accent.
At least we got some gold picks,
but we've seen this room portal type last day yesterday,
with me in Hacks, but there was a gold,
There's a enough iron for a pickaxe
and then we're golden carrots in the chest.
And so now I mean, I guess there's a sheep
hanging out with Loki's tree over here,
but this food situation is weird.
Loki's making shoes.
Oh, wow.
This is the best time we've seen play.
I've never seen this in playoffs, I think.
Yeah, nobody's not in the game.
Nobody's not in the game.
She goes on five iron in a room portal.
Hey, hey, hey, don't like it.
Because we have two gold picks,
I really don't like this.
granted, there's sheep here, he can get some beds, but it's the blocks play that you're
sort of making for the years. Maybe the sheep sort of push it over the edge a little bit,
right? Maybe you get some extra blocks faster and you get an extra bed and that maybe
that matters. But you have two gold picks for the blocks. I don't know if I like this play.
I mean, we'll see it all depends on the bastion, but this is very risky for Loki on
seed one. Maybe this is when you take the risk. I don't know, is it better to take a risk
on seed one is a better take a risk on seed five.
Mentally, I don't know.
That's a very interesting play.
Yeah, well, maybe we'll ask him about that later on
if he ends up winning.
But in either case, you're a little bit of a
least here for Loki, but like he says, I mean,
I mean, he's a machinist.
Yeah, let's say he just went the wrong way.
I shouldn't.
Doubted his scan.
So in the net or first and now,
Nyan had on the terrain,
and Ari's a bit.
Walks even gonna matter, right?
Like, look, Nyan's able to use this entire gold
pick for 20 bucks and this will pick how's I'm breaking. What? He just
mind 20. Another icon. This pick is not even off of green
durability. So, so why did he make the shoes? I mean, I mean,
instead of like, why did he make the shoes? Let's see the
other part here. Is this punish going to be absurd or is it going to be
not the big of a do we have six just up here on uprising? We are
It's going to be five minutes in the double.
So literally doesn't matter whatsoever that he needs three iron instead of three nuggets.
So, I WVP I guess never punished.
I mean, it definitely can't matter in other seed types.
That was a very interesting play by Luke.
Yeah, it's hard to say.
Like you said with the unbreaked maybe you didn't realize the unbreaked situation could be lots of things going on there.
But in either case, I will say the biggest thing here.
I feel like it's just missing that that's fine.
It was just a movement on this.
Yeah, I think this place three leaves,
this mind one block made shears in the overall,
I think he burned a wall or mutton in the overall as well
from the amount of sheep they killed.
The mic was not looking good, Nuri.
Yeah, this could be just a warm up thing.
I mean, we saw in a few having some shaky gameplay
on that first seed in our last match,
we commented if I'm right, but yeah, I agree with you.
There's definitely some inconsistence here
and look, he's gameplay so far.
And maybe it's the nerves, maybe it's your hand up
and back and plush on a while.
You had a pretty early exit for Loki's standards.
Obviously, you didn't get out and round two,
but as someone who's one, three playoffs
and podium to couple more,
it feels like an early exit
when you're not making it to the final day
for a man of Loki's caliber.
And Nyan hasn't really been letting these nerves
visually affect them as much.
I haven't seen too much, you know,
block misplacements, monkey missed a gold block as well on the backup set of pig
and grab one of those. As an update hasn't slipped off the backups. This is kind of
the thing you might expect also from the less experienced player, right? And these like
minor slip ups and stuff. But it could be just like, you know, I don't know, just getting
kind of back into the swing of things. That's my prediction. I may maybe I'm an optimist
farmer. I just want to see the best gameplay we can see from all these rotors. But at the end
of the day I do feel like he's our little bit uncharacteristic of Loki.
I thought the stream just lied because NAND's Pearl just took like seven seconds to land.
But I don't understand anybody else.
I like his strength and then he like fully throws on the movement as well.
But Loki's in the fourth verse better terrain and NAND.
Oh my god.
Apparently doesn't die.
Maybe that's the mechanics nerves.
Finally getting to NAND.
Yeah, keeps his composure had a crazy downwards momentum pearl and
Very very smart avoided block clutching would have taken maybe 10 out of five damage and only three hearts
Available to him
Out of his assuress
Yeah, but I will say both runners on pretty low HP here. This is definitely a little scary lots of potential for deaths. I can blaze
Yeah, blaze in the blaze TNT. I don't know if he's crafted has explosive jet for
or the pre-craft.
He says not and sure of Loki was behind on the bash.
But he said, heading the fort now
and looking at the quality of the inventory
of both of these runners, Loki's inventory is so clean.
And maybe now he's dialed into that micro.
He's shaken off those initial mistakes.
But his inventory is so clean
and look at the pre-crafts.
Oh my goodness.
Yeah, Nate has a place that it also is like going to be
just kind of hesitant to kill these blades
that I feel like in general.
Also it could just have a blade spawn on him.
He's going to take another little bit of damage here.
any place running on you scary that and you have to put out this lava
so do you stand in the portal to put out the lava or stand in the
spawner on the blaze he's not going to just losing time going to
is also is knocking at ice so can't glide and overlap that with the
hunger reset yet.
Little that scary but we'll have to see what.
And how we get the blaze and this is just a one spawn and it's in the
lot of and what does that stress for me in.
is now the plumbing is more than a one-man job multiple strings of all here.
That blaze is taking what appears to be a trip to the sauna for a few seconds.
And it's going to be just, yeah, for an anchor as well.
Well, I'm lost, yeah, like, because he doesn't even have an eye yet.
Yeah, exactly.
And there's an eye to support them.
Oh, man, this fortress is just going an absolute disaster here so far for
far for Nathan, fortunately. And I feel like it all just kind of spiraling snowball from just being on low HP from those
little throw the pearl mistake. Yeah, to one bad pearl, a little bit too far off the block second one
can't even block lunch off that. So three pearls and what should have been a one pearl job in those five hearts
impressively bad for Nathan, basically the worst possible punish. Yeah, and Loki meanwhile
just sitting here waiting for the blazes in a very comfortable position.
And is behind is able obviously to catch up to some degree, but this is going to be
difficult for him, given that you're going against Loki.
Yeah, I mean, he was four rods behind there for a moment and hasn't measured Loki.
Just needs one more rod to leave.
He doesn't get it there, but he's gotten so many more blazes off of these spawns just
from not having a lot of a misapp situation,
and they might need even an extra sponsor
like on the matter what, okay, gets the sixth rod.
And there's really not that much variance
that NAN has in his favor, right?
The sheer display for Loki, obviously,
didn't punish him in the bastion,
but the explosive play now rewarded,
NAN six explosives heading to cords eventually,
Loki said it, so Loki can hit a harder
zero the man can. It's not a news you're
name fan because you're blind. Yeah,
exactly. And look, he has a no signs of
slowing down whatsoever. Adding over
periling two quards. He's, I can
kind of maybe heading along the way.
A little bit, but yeah, he's got four
gold picks pre crafted right as he
left the spawner and we are on
chords right now. Man making his way
But hopefully not as far behind as we might have thought
So it's not free for Loki wrong pie very colorful there, but nice spike to the left
He's double checking
Maybe notice he hasn't pretty good lead right took the name and so long to get that last rod. That's a weird
Warmhole for Loki, but he finds the border. That was nice
Yeah, that was awkward. He's misplaced. He kind of looks like the portaries white went over the short man
But he's here, man, I'm in the stronghold yet.
See if Loki can close this seat out.
Despite some mistakes is in the end significantly faster due to that fortress split.
And now we're going to be able to hit this back zero.
Hopefully pretty easily.
Let's see if he can pull it off.
pushing to 95.
Some explosives here with a rotation to spare almost.
And don't need to go for anything crazy.
You know you're at a lot.
can just go for a simple three plus two.
And even if this doesn't kill not that big of a deal,
but he gets it done.
Low key taking, see to one.
Yeah, and able to just recover from the small micromostakes,
like for example, not going towards the bastion
in the right direction at first, little things,
like that adding up.
But able to kind of put those things aside,
lock back in and really close out the scene
in a very clean fashion at very minimal time loss whatsoever
the back half of that seed. So great stuff from Loki I'm excited to see where we go from here.
But I would say definitely not like all good from Loki we saw, especially like we said at the
beginning, like some shakyness maybe some rust things like that. But it's Loki at the other
day and he he's blessed out. It's so interesting. Look at that blind spoon already. Just from
end to a fortress of climbing. Sure I'll put some minute and 20 seconds remaining saved the good
Good amount of that time back.
I'm not sure how, maybe just a lot better to range.
The start on them and saved a little bit of time on the knob
as well, but it was just the cascading issues
that Nayan had at the spawner.
He was keeping it close throughout the first half
of that seed.
And what about a lot better in Nayan's favor
if the first chest in the bashing,
then that six iron, I cannot believe low key made cheers.
Yeah, that is a true point like if he could have gotten punished a lot more. I guess for those mistakes or his decisions that he may so I just definitely
I don't remember you ever seen anyone makes shares on in that situation before and play off. So I don't know what's not
It's not around before. I don't think I've ever seen anyone ever do it in any
Stream that I've watched or any match that I've played. I've never seen that but Loki's Loki's been known to do this
This sent six rods seed seven against Dugal,
made an iron axe, played a shipwreck on another C.
I can't remember, because he's been in so many
plants, so many C.C. He's made these on the box
plays in Flows before.
Yeah, I mean, it is very interesting.
I would be curious to hear, I guess, like decision making,
like it could have been, I feel like it,
like making sure, I feel like that's not like a mental
math there or something. I feel like that seems very deliberate. Yeah, I don't know. It just
feels wrong because there's obviously there's three iron guarantee in the bashing. Let's see what
the seed pick is. We can all get into a game. Let's talk over this on the seed pick. And as we
wait for the runners again to do it, we're getting to a BT. So, not gonna have this shears the bait
on this seed. Maybe shears versus iron axe could be a situation, but usually we're just going to
get some TNT out of a B2 that'll solve the problem, but it's so interesting because
the bashing guarantees three iron in the chest, but there can always just be iron nuggets
around, right? And especially in housing, when that iron can be in the bottom man on chest,
in the bottom double chest, you're entering from top down, maybe it's single triple,
and there's nine iron nuggets or one iron again in the chest, and so you save that too,
with the award you've now saved 30 to 40 seconds on the bash around entirely because you
don't have to go all the way down to the AI and pick it all the way back up. But it just
doesn't punish Loki. There's so many situations, stables too, right? Like stables, infinite
chests everywhere. If the irons and the last chanessing of the back bad gap left side chest
and then there's just a few nuggets in the top like it's so, so interesting of a decision
But ended up working out Loki's strainer.
It ended up working out. I'm excited to see if he makes any weird decisions on this seed as well. You never know.
But one thing I will say about Loki is I feel like he's really good at recovering from micro mistakes.
I noticed really the sheer thing, but like for example in the fashion, he'd make a little slip up here,
but I feel like he was able to not have it cascade into a bigger mistake, right? Not taking any more damage than he needed to really
And I think that is something that we see from Loki regularly is after putting himself in potentially a scary situation on an accident, he is able to recover from it.
So let's see what happens here. We've got the TNT, we got an advantage here right away for Loki finding that chest and getting the TNT off a little bit earlier and getting the crafting good to go.
But there's not that much wood.
That is true, and doors off of different log types.
Wasn't the best place for the TNT?
Now, like Nehannas, a much better place either.
So, both of these are going to have to line a little bit of logs, but Loki was just so fast
finding this BT, and he's got a dolphin on the way to this ravine as well, so that's
even going to be more micro time-save.
The dolphin lets you overlap the downwards movement.
I think it's what's so underrated, you know, people think, oh, with dolphins, you know,
a blocker to faster per second.
So maybe like just on Raw Horse on a movement,
you save half a second only,
but be able to overlap the speed at which you're going down
to the ravine,
as it was just going forward to a point in space.
So fast for Loki as you can see this enter so quick.
And we're on the bastion that's on the fortress,
and there's maybe this could be a sub seven dare I say it.
Do we have John T and T to be at this?
He's gonna shot, I think we do.
We do.
You're right.
this could be crazy. The fort is on the triple. Basically.
Like Nangan right behind, but Loki just making has just a very clean
routing so far in throughout this seed. So it takes a little bit of
damage there from the Flint steel, but not from the hogs and luckily
now building out the bridge, very clean routing overall.
I will stop for Loki. He's got a gold pick that he crafted as well.
I get really near in bridge, but he's just saving the half a second here and
there on these blocks and no auto funnel here.
I'd be scared of these like,
these pins could get shot by my blades for all I know.
Like the fort is right here.
Yeah, and it is a little bit scary.
Maybe you can get a fire as from the pigs
if there is a blade, but if I're nothing behind him,
I don't think it's gonna change here.
No, obviously we have to go to the other rampart
and Loki is instantly making his way over there.
I like this play.
going to just help that routing a little bit overlocking all the trades you can.
This was a triple.
That's the out of there we go.
That's a little bit.
That's enough.
It is interesting though.
Yeah, both runners going to the left side.
I guess just because it was exposed.
We'll be trying to get stone stored with one stone and one blocks.
I'm not sure if I've ever seen that.
But he has one stone from the Madonna portal.
And minds of Blackstone intentionally in the fashion, to make a sense or an
extra sense or a play in the hand now checking this second triple the Loki's
out. Check that first, not gonna have to go back to his trades. This is a low
three-fourths with 32 wool. It's SSV. Is he gonna lower his right there? He is
nerdy. This could be very fast if these rates are good and he does get a
first rod from one of those trays. I mean, like you said, find
very this piece. That's right, ridiculous. Two of the
trays are looking great. He's going to prone the spawner here,
and maybe give up on the trays. So many weather scalies here. Can you
get a couple of these guys off? Overlapping the spawner time. He's got
two blazes here. This could get them at the four rods.
Luckily, a lot of those guys with a one-wide gap preventing them from getting
over to him. So now he is going to use the bed and t and
That zombie pigland
Matt at him, but that's going to be only guy in this field. You say if so not that we could deal
In the pace nerdy has fallen off a cliff just a little bit not the best straight for Loki
Ningen opting to not place straight at all. He's gonna be doing blaze badass and team just like Loki do here on the spotter
So if the rates are really bad this could be good for Ningen
You know fast boner cycles. He did go to the spotter right away
Okay.
There's a few.
Okay.
We blaze this to kill the one rod and there it is.
And it's just up.
So he's 100% should be okay here.
I mean, this is.
I thought there was a with a skeleton here.
I almost.
It's assumed Loki would have handled that already.
But yeah, does take a little bit of damage there.
And that could slow things down just a little bit for him.
Maybe not able to parole as aggressively.
We'll have to see.
He's throwing two eyes.
He doesn't have to pick these up, which is good news.
But you're hoping it's that fat closer off set and it is.
Loki, you don't have to pick these up, buddy.
Unless you threw a tree on.
Maybe he threw two on that last possible section there.
Yeah, it looks like he threw three in total.
Look at the space.
It's got the sort of mid five stronghold.
Is this on chords here?
So close.
It's probably going a little bit here.
Oh, no, he mistletes this. That's okay. Yeah, he's okay. 20. I'll be from that one double. So it's fine
That's just this is this is going to be some some BT maybe
Yeah, it's just quite top except only way to go does it curve left here?
Is this the right way
He sees it in the ravine, but I saw how many we said now
Which is just a little awkward and he's probably wow aggressive pearl
So now if it's not cage, it's going to be all for me, but all is on low key one salmon.
So that's not going to matter.
It's fun exposed.
This is going to be a sub seven BTC.
Nuri.
Wow.
Just absolutely cranky pace.
I mean, this is a 90 minus.
Wow.
Absolutely cranky.
Guys, is this going to be a two plus two?
It's a good rotation for everybody.
Doesn't have a bow crack that it seems so a little slower than we think.
Maybe no arrows?
I don't know.
I think that's a pretty good performance, six, 41, six, 42, I don't know we can't see the dragon that these box himself in in the fountain, but this is so fast from Loki, six, 41, on a B.T.
from Loki 641 on a BT. What is that all time that beat sky crabs time from yesterday?
Yeah, I don't even know. It sounds like that might just be a top 5 time fiber guy.
That is that is crazy stuff.
I'm in the top of the class, but I wonder specifically for BT, the website doesn't show
and see
which is something
641 would put this around around 60 if
but so many of these top ones are rude portal
oh sure sure
you say no
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I surely have to be like top three
or top five
just crazy
yeah
ridiculous
not that great
strays as well
like the strays were not insane
you didn't
instant out of the stronghold
there's like a little bit of a micro
obviously you can pick that out from
any run, but just the decision made.
Maybe it's the real as well.
Like that's another thing.
Like it's like, yeah, there is like what?
Lots of, I feel like he's just so fast that like the things
that the man picked up on on like the things that he messes up
is like a couple seconds here.
But he's saving so much time on the micro throughout the seed.
I guess that was the thing you'd be saying is proxy, right?
Like the micro.
And I mean, I, I think it's showing.
I mean, that was a ridiculous performance from Loki,
to a lead on a name.
Yeah, I guess it doesn't matter, right?
if you lose two seconds filling your portal
if you're saving half a second on every menu change
because your flicks are so on point
and you've practiced changing your any distance
a million times, it's just insane how fast that seed was.
We're gonna throw it over full.
He's got something to break down for us.
And then we'll be back to see if Loki can finish
the three of us sweep or if Nyan can lock in
and push us in the hurry to the game five that we all want.
We'll be back here after the mid-match on houses.
Amazing, so let's talk about the Steve Ofts.
Nehann versus Loki, Loki is two seeds to zero up and I just wanted to point out a little
thing that I think the commentator is May of Miss, which I absolutely loved from Loki.
Now, Fymburg said that he was aggressive with his pearls towards the portal room.
After the spike, he noticed the idea and you can see the portal room exposed in the
ravine right here and this is known as Firo's Law when there is a room of the stronghold
that is exposed.
Every other block within the stronghold can be overwritten with cave air.
However, the portal room cannot.
So if you see a room that is clearly jagged out of a ravine that looks very unnatural,
Now, there's someone to this, obviously, we can see the iron bars, which give it away.
However, it's still a very, very useful strategy here to allow him to be able to find
this.
But that's not the main thing that I wanted to talk about.
So he piles here towards it, leaving himself on half a heart, and then pulls to hunger
reset, resetting his health and his hunger.
But after this, grabs his pulse, instantly pulls towards the portal room, and because
It's within his three second respawn window.
He takes no damage as he is imbulnerable to damage
before the Pearl lands.
Meaning, he takes zero damage from that Pearl,
while being able to travel a couple of blocks,
and those are the kind of micro management
that he might be able to,
that he may have been mentioning earlier on in his interview.
He was talking about how much he was caring about the micro
at the moment, looking into every improvement
that he possibly could.
This extra one second, it means he doesn't have to place those,
four or five blocks between this ravine here. Instead saving all that time, we'd no downside,
no damage shaken and just one less pile. But he's got 10 for the zero cycle. And of course,
the zero cycle was very clean, able to take things out without needing a bow, had the advantage
over Nehan and brings himself to a two zero lead so far. I'm going to send you guys back to
to fight bug and nerdy right now to see if Loki can take out
30 or if they hand can make a fight back for the reverse week.
Well, full of is right. We definitely miss that.
I just wasn't even on my radar like being that fast.
Yeah, that's just crazy.
That's just absurd, but yeah, ridiculous stuff.
I'm a Loki does. That's what you're doing.
I feel like it's winter past.
Just pushing every little tiny times
that he can have. Even if it's a little bit risky, I feel like he goes for it. It's so
it's so exciting to see. I mean, like you said on the last he'd pushing to 99, even though
his opponent wasn't even in the stronghold, like just crazy stuff from Loki overall.
Around to our third seed nerdy, the only seed type left the shipwreck.
They asked the win and then he asked the win out between his lowkey gets the pick the next two
seeds of man wins both of them. So back against the wall nerdy and this graphic honestly
couldn't be more confusing thank god we have some more for the user names. Yes, I'm this graphic
because it's just Steve time-swive but we're in the shipwreck. Loki. I look at the times they're
so funny right? 942 and 641 if you ask people to put these times next to the seed types they would
or you would be like, oh, why are you asking me?
They're gonna met a game of the question.
It's like, oh, you're obviously asking me for a reason.
So maybe the 640, what is the BT?
But it's just crazy that subsets that on the BT
in the 942 and the room portal so different.
Show that Loki can just make it work no matter what.
As we get into potentially the final seed of the first play
out so weekend unless in a hand has anything to say about it,
but he doesn't even spot the shipwreck yet.
There's already, so he's fine-mossed, that's literally 12 seconds, and we haven't even done the crafting.
We haven't even done the poor, we haven't even found the ravine.
If he's going to take a limited drowning here, we'll have to see if how much Nehaen takes.
I couldn't end up mattering a little bit, picking hard and a half there.
But you do have a lot of carrots, so if you get like a bridge here, it should be totally chill.
Looks like Nehaen can be taking similar amounts of damage there.
Okay, there's some shears, no iron acts coming out from low to you, not going to expect
that from man either, right?
You can mind down, get some stone, you have 10 iron, so don't have to make the shears, but
blocks are so impactful.
Man, opting for the same play, doesn't think it's worth the VP this early, right?
Like, maybe you obviously know that you're so behind off of just finding the shiver
alone, right?
You know, even if you have advancements, opt, even if you're not fully sure, it's like
Oh, I just spent it spun around on the island for 10 seconds to do nothing. So I don't know man
It's gonna have to find a way to bounce back the lokey's missed the ravine
Oh, yeah, this could give the chance for Nehane to potentially save him time
I think he's coming. No, he's going to be right here
He's going up the island. So Nehane that will first down to a ravine lokey's found a different one
But he's made all this time back this is touching the island nerdy how did lokey miss this?
I don't know, man, this is flints, they're not going to leave back to Loki, no, no.
A little bit of back and forth here in the world, not perfect for either runner, but in either case, Loki.
Oh, I got a drink. Oh, and fighting man in his portal, but he's not misplaced any hobbies.
So, avoiding a disaster, oh my god, what an overworld nerdy, what a different overworld.
What, like can we ask for better?
Crazy crazy back and forth there.
Look, he's scanning trying to find exactly the best terrain to take here in order to get to this bastion.
Obviously we haven't stored for us this time.
If we not, it's good who another is last seed, at least so far.
Ooh, yeah, look at this.
I know the back of housing right away.
Locally has found the wall.
We're not playing on steel.
Okay, this is blocked.
You have to go to the bastion.
And they answer again, heading to top down housing as we speak.
Oh man, locate still nothing on a screen, no blocks on whatsoever.
Actually nothing.
And not sure if he did anything wrong,
I guess earlier, which is true.
I have to touch them now.
It's going to do it.
Oh my god.
Oh, I can blast it any better.
How is this even possible?
It'd be mining that's just not getting the other the triple.
Wow.
He's not getting the other triple.
Neither of them are.
And look at Loki, a hard and a half.
Ron Flush only hasn't crafted the carrots he's safe for now, but that is scary, mayhem on six and a half hours.
nerdy, what a seed we have already, mayhem punch the sword pig. I'm going to keep note of that.
Could be scary, he's got a sword pig mad at him, get the block off there we go, safe.
Loki pre-created golden carrots before heading them to the training hole, being as safe as possible.
I like the play. You know you're up to you. You don't need to push it necessarily.
Better be safe than sorry. And if a seed comes down to those couple seconds,
there's a lot more that Loki could have saved and just getting into the bastion.
Can't really blame it on those golden carrots.
I make sense. But yeah, definitely interesting place and far.
You see, you see the hobby count. I was curious about that.
Are we good on hobby only eat hobby? I mean, it's not bad, but I do wonder if I have
I mean, they both skip that top.
Yeah, there we go.
I love triple.
So we just got a lot from that, that was okay, sort of.
I was just saying, is that a common thing?
I feel like usually I see people go for both triples,
but I, the fact that they have five,
I'll be heading down to the bottom is weird,
because I don't know if I would commit to skipping it.
It obviously saves so much time.
But the main thing you're looking for is,
hobby, some other things that can matter
is like if there's an extra gold block,
get you an extra fire as an extra protein.
There's some extra string there,
but it's mainly the hobby that you're looking for.
And so it's interesting that those runners
both skipped it while only having five
I'll be heading down the antifers.
I thought it was Loki.
I was honestly looking at the Steve's skin.
Man, out first, even though they both started this route
from the same spot at basically the same time,
but it's not that much of a gap nerdy Loki
fast behind him and Nayan's found the sponor.
Can't locate find a sponor.
He's at the same one now and he's got us already lowered for
straznery. I think I see a couple on that bridge to the right.
This could get interesting.
God, you do.
It is has to go for it.
It has to say about like 0.1 seconds.
No, that is unreal. That is unreal.
And the note in me has to say, again, technically it's not a flat headheader because he has the like lip built up, but I'm saying not a lot.
I could not hit that if you gave me an hour.
So the fact that he hit that in playoffs is absurd.
And I think you lost all the time from the first one, but I'm missing the next few, but I don't know.
But it's, I, you got, yeah, I would've been cool that I would've been cool though.
So is so insane.
Maybe that'll be playoffs in 30 and 20 30.
We're seeing tell you versus the desert temple.
Yeah, yeah, flat headheaders in the fortress.
And place in the, I'll be in a separate place, but again in the world,
13 eyes. I mean, you know, I haven't been talking.
I mean, look at the rod counts.
The interesting thing is, yeah, low keys on six rides and on seven, so man doesn't have to grab these eyes, low keys to grab two of them, can you get to the second eye? No!
So now low keys are from all the way back down, swim up, pull back up, nail in, able to go now.
Yes, a little bit of a lead here.
Yeah, on the food situation, fine for both runners. It's not going to be any hungry reset difference, but this is crazy, train difference, heading at,
Yeah, but these waters
Low terrain from Loki high terrain from you said a lot missing a pearl. Yeah, Nagan so high up. He's at Y 70
Where does that pearl land from Loki still swimming?
Grusted pearls there for look at this. He said he's at Z3 60
Nands at Z2 60 and it is on a poison ravine Loki so far away still
With no gold picks no pre-crafts. This is Nands seed. I'll lose
This is his chance.
Oh, we have to look at this though.
Looks like it's the same for Loki, though.
So maybe just this little cave here.
But we have to figure it out.
And this gold pick is going to help him a little bit.
There we go.
He's going to use it.
OK.
Wonderful.
Where's the spike though?
Like that from mid, flashed a little bit there.
No aggressive pearl.
That's not going to care it's to do so.
And there's a stream that niggins chance here.
And he has a gold pick.
He has the explosives.
No, he doesn't actually, he's 4-bed 1-8-year, never mind.
I was looking at, look, he'll keep some analysis, 5 explosives.
This could get ugly if the bow shots missed.
Okay.
It's not just free-buy any means, especially with the playoffs,
there's we have 5 explosives.
He's not opting to start with this double.
He's going to double here, I don't like this decision,
but it's a great damage regardless that's good enough.
Wow, there it is.
and they answered, cured himself, the right to play a seed for, making Wokey work for it just a little bit.
Yeah, no, I mean, great stuff from the hand. Obviously, it could be very intimidating for me.
We just got lost three, it's just absurd.
I can't make all my seed.
I come on. That is insane. That is crazy.
That's crazy.
How is that real? How is that real?
I'm looking at her and I'm like, ah, he totally messed up this plus two.
I'm not even just rips the egg!
That is crazy, so I mean 19 seconds later in the end, but we do at least get to see some flashiness from Loki
I am excited to see this we get to see more gameplay from these two. I mean this this has been a good battle
I mean, hey, that's the confidence booster for NAYHAM. I mean, yeah, overall better terrain now
I feel like to that's strong. I mean, just great stuff
stuff from the hand able to just by being too
over-behind against arguably the greatest
ranked player of all time is able to
clutch up and win a C pretty decisively
I'd say yeah I mean just so much
happened that see they took so much
different terrain to the bastion I mean
just unreal like I don't we have
full of analysis maybe get a break
down that's where I'm maybe going to
break down the tasks situations from
Loki there but we're sending it over to
full on for another mid-match analysis
And then we'll be back for seed for in just a minute.
Okay, I'm gonna keep it super short.
I know you guys want to get back to the runs and so do I.
I don't want to keep this at all.
Just one tiny thing that the commentator has missed in the
over a while, but I think allowed Nehans take a tiny bit of an
advantage into the neather with grabbed the shipwreck, grabbed the
Iron and grab the food chest second and to did take a tiny little bit of damage.
However, I want to point out for one frame he noticed this.
Did you spot it?
Did you spot it?
As he hovered over the boots, they are depth strider one.
He picks them up, puts them on, and it allows him to get back to the island, endless
so slightly faster, allowing him to take a tiny little bit less damage and get him
into the net a little bit speedy. That is literally all I want to say, back to
find Borgonotti.
What's up? I mean, there you go.
Sure. Yeah. That is that at all.
Some tats are man.
Tats are Loki. Maybe it's the Steve skin buff nerdy, but let's see what Loki
see that pick is for a seed for it. Is he going to throw it over to the B. T. Throw
over the room portal is he going to pick man's band, which I think was the temple.
Maybe it was the village. I'm not and I don't remember who banned what?
He's going back to the BC nerdy. He got the sub seven on it can we get another one?
I don't know it's a weird guy. I can't look he can
I think it was my take because I mean maybe maybe my mentor's worse than look maybe your mental gets a little hard
And if you win three playoffs and you have more of a record y'all y'all y'all but
Lowkey lost that last seed by 10 to 15 seconds, he didn't go to the right
ravine. He had a 10 second lead on just looting the shipwreck. And he
lost all that time back missing the ravine. We're going back to an ocean
in C-Type. So obviously, he has the World Record on BT. He got the 7 on BT. He
blooded the last BT faster, but the randomness of finding the ravine, I always just
like this straight away. I don't know. But maybe you look, it doesn't like the randomness
of lava pools in villagers. Maybe it's just a place on this. Obviously he's picked the
BTC for a reason. And he's kind of dolphin. Look at this, nerdy. He's kind of
Domino's BT. So he's swimming to the streets. He's saved like 40 seconds here. I'm just
just laughing like, oh my god, that's so stupid. Good stuff there. Just start off the seed
and we're going to see this crafting come out immediately. Very clean stuff. I mean, I think this
is pretty standard and what you'd expect. Don't need the shears because of the TNT. You need to
get a few more lives here and then we should be good to go. I mean, well, I'm not going for the
gravel, Loki being very intentional about looking for the
Indian man, cutting a little more right.
That he is the same direction, but just a little more offset.
Maybe not actually.
Did you think I'd be going to say different directions again?
Are they are going different directions?
And Nahan's found a ravine that Loki has in Loki's at a different
mean now and he finds one.
But it's farther away.
So again, nerdy, Loki off the island first at the ravine second.
and they had split also again flies away from it a little bit so both these runners
great reminiscent down the arena the exact same time again I guess there's no
drown for the hand this time so the little it's just the same here it's the
same we're playing the same they didn't you didn't float the page on the
script oh my god you should be not shipwreck and wrote in dt but we didn't
change anything else so I mean that is kind of boring well I just wanted to
make sure we get to a game five. That's what I want to
want to hit it win again. So yeah, let's see though. We do have
this bash and believe that's a treasure in the background.
There you can see the fortress as well so the spawner should
not be an issue. Nice gas.
No wall in the way of this bastion. Both these runners taking
very similar terrain. Make sure to not slip and fall here.
And what do you see a lot of time despite having entered like
only a second earlier?
So, then we're confident on that micro-movement, nice little boat clutch there, getting
down to if you go block NAN missing his boat clutch there.
But he's pretty far behind, and this fortress nerdy is right on the treasure.
So, not gonna be able to save too much time on that movement specifically, and NAN, having
to take this pretty slowly, eight o'clock before starting around Loki already mining.
top rampart goldwalks, how is Nyan going to save this time? What can he do? Is it going to be a
straight, play, straight situation? How do you save micro against the micro king, some might say?
How do you do that?
Yeah, that's a pretty good one.
But hey, you don't want to address me, Nyan, one last year, right? So exactly.
Well, he's playing pretty well over all today, but, uh, Nyan, right, right on his tail at the very
release. Loki has just been playing the seed so well. I mean, going down to check the chest
now, are we going to need to go lower treasurer? How much obby do we have already seven
from trains? Gonna be in the gold or the double chest here, six obsidians, throughout the
13 should be getting 20 here. I got the four treasurer all the way. There's a stack of
string two stocks of pearls. We have TNB. Good. Good. Good. Good.
Plus TNT. Look. He's got the diamond sword as well. I think NAND's got a
host for a stray miracle. Yeah. I mean, you could be that could be strong enough.
There's lots of weight a little ways from to say some time here. He is, he's
going to be curling up pretty soon here. So not too far behind. I'd say basically
pretty similar. I don't think you lost him in time in the bastion. Let's see how to
wait here. Oh, he has to wait here. Okay. So maybe losing a couple seconds here.
I mean, Loki, Loki is not fire right now. I feel like you're like that first see there was a little bit of shaking his butt
He's been playing a very well since
They had now drilling onto the fortenark. Wait the spawner, though
Different spawner is gonna be playing two spawners here
Spots is first one and then is going to have a parrying two spawner two. So this is gonna save him one blaze cycle potentially
He's got a couple of straights that rod.
Oh, he picked it up.
It didn't burn.
He's going to commit to straights fully.
Three rods.
Three blades on a stream.
Loki's on five rods.
Starting his freecrafts now.
Nehann, two more straights to the right.
He's got some pearls to burn.
One more straight through the left as well.
This is a full straight commit for Nehann.
And he's on six rods.
He has a rod advantage right now.
Loki, and blinding at a different spot, maybe we get different straws, Loki's thrown two or three eyes right now.
Let's see, does he get punished for that at all?
I mean, I don't have a train, can Loki pick up this second eye.
Did he get you? No, got it.
Sounds like he probably did.
He's confident.
I can't imagine maybe as to measure two.
Yeah, but he can figure out on these mushrooms.
This is an interesting situation.
I've seen myself in and look at Loki nerdy has to wait for the cycle and if he has to wait
max time, there's the rod though, no he can go and Loki is pre-crafted man is not.
Is it the same stronghold I think so, yes, both these runners heading towards the treasure
bashing Loki can throw maybe one extra pearl, he's on cords right now and I think the
three crafts is what's going to pull me out because not only is they hand behind
on the nav, but he's behind on a skeleton for an end. But is he finding better terrain?
It's going to do with the skeleton and both these runners really trying to deal with this terrain.
Look, he should be in the stronghold here now. Let's get a good spike down mid. I think.
Yeah, that looks good to me, but he has so younger we set is he gonna when's he gonna get the younger we saw it off
I just nand still has to pre-craft
But I think he's heading a different direction for the nav Loki trying to warm-all here
Nand's gonna go on me. I think Loki went top-left. Yeah, let's make it
This lights are still here
No, yeah
Wow
And then he's looking down.
Ready, ready, ready, ready.
Okay, no, no, no.
Let's just wait, man, as the 0 to send us to C5, potentially six explosives on an open cage,
this should be free.
He hit it with five less.
See.
Wow, wow, wow.
Let's see if Nainhand can close out the seat.
I mean, overall, we'll play the Loki until the very end in the stronghold here.
Nainhand, saving a lot of time, let's see if he can close out the seat.
Does Nainhand have a spare, Nainhand doesn't have spare, why not?
He has to, so he can't.
He can't go for a double bed here.
He has a plus one, he can't, but it should be fine.
Great damage has the last anchor, beautiful stuff.
But that's so interesting, because Loki,
if he was in the situation,
wouldn't have been able to go for those plus ones.
That's like a relatively slow zero,
right six rotations, Rene and Loki could have potentially
two plus two, or I mean, we saw him two plus three.
It's just the map.
Loki got the spike mid, I mean, never sent mid.
He's definitely now heads mid and finally now heads the lights are he just never went here
off spawn and that's that's the whole seed down to the stronghold and now we're now on another
game 5 nerdy and so it's another game 5. I mean that's crazy stuff 5 seconds into the
stronghold. I don't see how he saved more time than that. You can see 20 seconds faster
into the fortress so NAY and doing a very good job ending up saving 15 seconds in that
entire split going through the stronghold.
So great stuff from Nainan, and I mean at the end of the day,
you got to know, it doesn't matter if you have like a little bit
of a lead going through the stronghold, what matters is who
is the seed first, right?
So great stuff from Nainan playing the seed better overall.
And I guess we'll get five.
Yeah, I mean, that's just crazy.
I don't know.
I thought you got a great spike.
Made them surprise that after he missed it top left,
didn't go back mid and check me.
I don't know exactly what Angle got.
Maybe he was getting another fake spike in that stronghold,
but Loki was up to our now it's time.
He's got one more seed pick,
the very treasure backfire.
And again, nerdy, he missed the ravine.
That overall world's so similar to the first one.
So is he gonna send it to the shipwreck?
Are we gonna send it to a land-based overall type?
Where are we going?
Four seed five.
Shipwreck, one, four ocean seeds.
In this five game series.
battle the Steve skins were back to the ocean. I mean if Loki can find these ravines,
he has such a lead on the seeds. That's just what he struggled with on the last two.
Yeah, yeah.
So hopefully he has a good perspective. Hopefully, you know, you see those hitboxes off the
riff, you see something to indicate maybe just you just see the the ravine itself. But
yeah, it has been kind of awkward just finding those ravines as we said, find her and
We'll have to see if that punishes him going into this next seed.
Yeah, we're just gonna we're gonna have to get into the gameplay. Where is the ship? We're gonna generate where are there? We're being gonna generate like
just depends on what the seed looks like and
Can't not believe they had as in this
After Loki being ahead
towards the stronghold on both these last two seeds
Yeah, I mean, I think maybe we've been just underestimating Neon overall. I mean on that last seed, right?
it. Yes, Loki did mess up the map, but I mean,
it was only five seconds behind going into that strong.
So he's been playing really well.
Say, go all the time on the strays and maybe a little bit
on terrain to chords as well, even with dealing with the skeleton,
Loki not grabbing the gold nuggets.
That might be a big play or bigger difference.
Is there going to grab them and look like enough for one
and get maybe even two?
They didn't even grab the gold, they had two gold up now.
What you can't craft anything with,
That's distraction, gold in the bastion.
I feel like that's a big deal.
I mean, you can make a show.
I don't know, I'm surprised by that play by Loki.
We'll have to see if it ends up mattering.
But I needed to, the iron chest first
and then the fruit chest.
So it wasn't like,
he moved the iron chest and I was leaving the ship
or he had to swim back towards it anyways.
So now he's just too gold down.
And again, this probably won't matter.
He was too iron down on seed one,
and that didn't matter.
could, right? They couldn't need that for distraction in a stable triple. In a top down
housing, a man on the other. Couldn't need that gold could be the difference on this seed
nerdy. Yeah, and I'm very curious to see if they go in like a similar direction, because
I feel like both ocean season before we saw and go in completely different directions.
Loki going off towards the back left you'll see this knee and go this way, knee and
let me like he might be able to find the direction and then he will commit to it, but
just ran a little bit around the island.
So finally nerdy, they're at the same ravine.
We didn't see this in seed too.
Yes.
But they are here and Loki's flimping drag now
and by the magma here, his knee I'm going to save his flint.
I think maybe he's one gravel off of the flint
or he picked it up already.
But Loki in first.
So this was a couple of seconds.
Good seed type pick.
And we are on the bridge, on the bastion,
next to the fortress.
Wow, lots of lobby.
We'll take you a little bit of damage there.
Oh, for that one.
That scroll just does not matter.
Yeah, and this seated.
Oh, I don't damage for luck, isn't it?
A little scary there.
I mean, not.
I lost for you on this.
If it's running, the man's been taking a look at this.
He's going to grab these crimson logs intentionally here.
Four blocks for the route.
This is, he's got a lot though.
Okay, man.
This is maybe too much.
I don't know why we have 32.
And we also have 30 logs for the route.
a lot of walks that he grabs here. But Loki's wood oak planks can burn on this route. True.
It's rare, but it can happen. They end grabbing those logs. Crimson wood cannot burn in the
other. But I feel like they end grabs so many. I don't know just grabbing like one or two.
And what happened? Loki three or so. Loki! Oh my god, that could have been Loki's entire class right there.
I still feel like this is a little scary, but I think he's okay.
He's not going to have to be pushed out of some.
By another big one.
He's dead.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, my goodness.
That's that.
I mean, that the other portal is on the bastion.
The ravine is right here.
Right. He has some gold trading.
Oh, Loki, come on.
But, man, it's been right behind Loki this entire day.
That's not the case.
That's behind.
Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
Oh, my God.
And that could be the, that could be Loki's plan.
Right there.
But I mean, man, I said keep this composure.
Right? Right.
Mine's so slicing.
You were down to, oh, now you're tied to the two.
You just in-shat now, man.
Doesn't have advanced one, son.
Maybe this is going to help him.
to help him. He doesn't know that Loki just got oceanic, right? That'd be such a true
advancements. He would know that Loki's dead. Loki has a straight, Donald trade to get
a probably off. Obviously, it doesn't matter because you're on the fort. No, no, no,
on the spawner, almost. But he had some gold trading. It's not the end of the world
for Loki. They had needs to keep his front on the gas. The NAF can still make a difference.
the zero can still make a difference, but Loki's not out of this, it's just such a
time loss and at least a minute on his death. Yeah, and as we said last year, I mean, yes,
Loki was faster into the stronghold, but only by five seconds, right? So now that full
minute or whatever it ends up being for Nehann is absolutely huge, we'll say, I feel like
not having the information with the O'Shaeny, like you said, Finder, I feel like that could
Make him potentially not feel as comfortable as he could otherwise
I think it'd be it doesn't make him feel as nervous. I feel like maybe
Had to hear I feel like would be bad. You know you start thinking like I'm down to I'm playing low-key's one-three playoffs
Are any like this is my first playoffs? I'm playing my best. What can you do? Right? And then you win C3 you win C4 and that's like wow like
This is real. This is like this could happen. I could be low-key and then you see
that he dies and then do you start overthinking it's like oh my god, if I don't
make a crazy mistake I'm going to throw in and you start overthinking every
micro thing that you do versus a neck and neck seed where you kind of know
you have to play a lot you get more comfortable I don't know it really all
depends on the person yeah that is interesting but that's the way that I
would kind of think about it it's just like can you keep your composure finishing out
the seed when you kind of know it's it's almost already all over man on six eyes
or six rods, excuse me, has to throw two here in the ocean and Loki's making a work for it.
He's done four rods. He's not that far behind.
Nan is throwing a third eye to measure at this point.
So he cannot throw down and pick up all three of these.
He's going to have to swim none of them breaks.
So a little bit lucky for him there, but that third eye doesn't break.
Loki is going to be on six rods after this on seven rods as well.
So he doesn't even have to pick up this last rod, but man is still a headnut.
He's seven explosive, some most zero is going to be hitable.
Has a gold pick for chords.
It's still going to come down to Nav.
Loki's going to need a miracle.
See, maybe I mean, it could like you said, if I'm very good,
you could get a bad Nav, but hey, he did the last Nav break.
There's a cool.
It's right in the hand.
They're going to block it here low key.
Has a gold pick.
I'm hoping to go more right here.
Out of food, I can throw one more pearl.
Nehann, Gold pick is not doing much against these man-mo-blots and look at the terrain.
And Loki's found here on the right.
Let's get this closer than we think.
Loki's lying about us and Loki's digging to watch the dirt.
No way!
Let's win!
Come on, let's go!
I'm ready to go!
Let's go!
Let's go!
No, and they had that.
He's inside of block.
He's inside of ruined portal that spawn or something.
What is going on there?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I'm sorry.
I've got completely confused by.
They had three.
They had five.
Now heading into the stronghold.
Loki.
No.
Good spike.
Look at this.
No good spike.
They had still cave this wall.
Loki looking for the spike.
Still nothing.
Is it cold?
Is they going to get a spike?
Loki.
Absolutely nothing.
Maybe I'm on a powerful heart in this same situation and no spike as well.
Where are they going to go?
Neon's not. Give up.
There's no way.
The result. It's just the zero eight explosives open.
Wow, 94. 97.
A lot of great problems.
Whoops. A little bit.
It's 90.
There's some should something to look at the 90 I'm here.
Has a rotation to spare and nerdy and low key barring time.
I'm not a submissive mistake on this zero, how does he pull it back one bed to go speechless I'm speechless how is it possible?
I don't know I just fully thought in my head I'm like nah hands moving on wow we get enough sex
That one oh my god. Oh my god. It's the train to show looking must have saved like 40 seconds on that
Yeah, oh, just aim it all the way the matter either way I guess to how is that possible?
How is that possible?
But you look at the splits you only lost a minute on the buff that's not even that bad
Basically the perfect situation for a gut threat that ravines you right on the island the portals right on the bastion your trades are already going
Feel like I I looked away
I was watching my hand for a second and then Loki's just fully caught up. It's just ridiculous.
I mean, he went right on the terrain and now he had one left and I guess that was a minute.
I guess it was literally a full minute of time difference. And then the Nav gets Loki in and he moves on.
I cannot believe I cannot believe that seed but I can't believe that series I I can't believe
That's ridiculous that is the ridiculous stuff. Yeah, I have you here with Mochi very exciting
I mean there's so much to ask about I don't even know where we start. I got a good start. I got a good start. Okay
I can't remember that, I can't remember that.
Low key, welcome.
What a series, what a match between you and Nehann,
and I know that seed five was crazy,
but let's cycle back all the way to seed one.
Talk me through your decision-making
on crafting shears in that room portal of the world.
I actually forgot that entire seed.
That's fair, that's fair.
I mean, there's so much that happened in that scene five.
So let's bring it more to the present then.
After that death in the bridge, you know, unlucky,
that the victims were out to give you the stored guy that shoved all the way over to you
and then still hit you even with you repositioning.
How did you manage to keep your composure in that scene,
knowing that you're playoff's line, right?
right, like this whole season you've sort of fought for practice the
microphone. How did you keep it together in that moment? What do your
mind? I honestly thought I would lose, but I didn't really care that
much.
No, I mean, in a minute. Yeah, I'm a strong man. You brought it all
back when you write instead of left. I mean, I was a look at that
terrain. It seemed like you and they hadn't kind of did the same thing
and then you just, you saved a minute. I don't know. I mean, there
nerdy, you got any other?
Yeah, I know you said in the pre-match interview that you were practicing your
micro.
I was curious about if you recall on C2, you hunger reset in the stronghold, and that
instantly purled and didn't take any damage because you used the damage immunity window.
Is that something you've practiced, or is that like, I'm just, that was a crazy play to
me, and I'm just curious if that, if you have any words to say on that.
That was unintentional.
Oh really, that's crazy.
You were just so fast that you just didn't take any damage.
That's so cool.
That's so cool.
That was an aura answer.
It intentionally so fast that we can avoid the damage.
Now look, you gotta say, yeah, that was completely calculated.
You practice that every day and you finally got to use it.
No, but that's awesome.
On that seed, number three, you went for a,
you've got to plus three on the zero.
You did not win that seed,
But I guess I also have to ask is that was there any reason for that?
Was that for style points?
Was that just because you were like,
what made you go for the plus three?
It's really easy.
I don't know.
I just did it for fun.
That would be a, there we go.
Amazing answer.
I love it.
That's fantastic.
Okay.
Well, I agree.
It is very easy.
I've definitely, I would hit that for a strife.
I'm sure, I don't know.
All right, great answers, Loki.
Thanks.
You got anything more fiber.
You got any more questions?
I mean, it's gonna be a fourth win.
I mean, obviously it's speaking too soon,
but being able to come back, I guess it's not really a comeback
because you're up to a brought it back,
but I'm a last see from the death,
you will be moving on to play in-fume next weekend
and you lost against in-fume last season.
So, any words for any different way
you're gonna take this match of it was the same.
It was a quarter-file match against in-fume,
you lost through the one and in different
you're going to do or you think you just sort of
improve it up this season that's going to be an easy one.
I don't know. What do you think?
I'm not going to watch today. Well, I should win.
Hey, there we go. Let me see the confidence. Well, thank you so much
Loki for the interview and congrats on the win. Very well played.
I still cannot believe that seed five. So yeah congrats
man and good luck next weekend. Thank you.
Well, Merdy, that's a scary spot to have that the three times
playouts winner can be watched even in the first place. And the fact that he says he's
no longer watched any more. I think he proved that today. I mean, sure he just
lose two seeds and he did take a death on another one, but I think he played pretty
well overall and you definitely, we definitely got to see some
flashness from his game play, which is very cool. And I mean, especially if
Loki's not watching, we're trying to plan for winning two of those seeds as well, right?
But he sure he lost the seed that Loki died on, right?
So that really didn't get over that.
But that means man, one, two seeds were Loki didn't die, right?
Like he just outpaced Loki, the whole seed, better now,
better terrain, better bashing us.
Big shout out to man.
First play off since three times a winner.
Big shout out, taking two seeds off of him.
And I mean, we'll just have to see it.
Let's see where the bracket.
We have to see how the bracket continues to evolve.
But, you know, I think for this as well, personally,
but like if I'm in that hand,
I'm a room for Loki, because then let's say Loki, 3O, MT, Loki, 3O, Blaze, my Loki, 4O, Skycrab, or whatever, and then they, and you're like, oh, yeah, I took into game five. That was me.
I'm a second-best in a bracket. That's the way you can think about it. Yes, yes.
The Steve skins are supporting each other after this battle that we just watched, and I'm the same way for Hacks.
Hacks, let's do this. Let's do this. Let's three-off, because you got to hold on to that, like,
because if you lose to the winner,
then you could be the second best player.
And so that's, I mean, they gave Wokey a crazy run for his money
and it's lost to match that we just saw.
So, I mean, crazy stuff, I will say, I mean, listen,
I'm just very happy with this bracket
because listen, I'll say, and I got seven at eight, right?
I mean, come on, that's pretty good.
No, that's pretty good.
I feel off-field and pretty, I'm feeling pretty good right now.
Seven out of eight of the math predictions, right?
I think at most of the actual things right as well.
I predicted three to one eight and they're in Loki.
So I'm feeling, I'm feeling like a profit right now,
find work.
That's how I'm feeling.
Good, nerdy, and I will say,
unofficial Pickham's website,
saw a little fan project running around the other day.
There are 80 people that are seven and one on their Pickham's
nerdy, guess how many people are eight now?
On their Pickham's.
We have a lot of people.
1800 total people, 80 people are seven and one.
Because we feel like a second here to like.
You're just going to work at up like that.
No, no, no.
Look at that.
I'm going to do a point fine to the eight here.
We'll apply that by 1800.
I'm going to guess- I'm going to say a thing.
Wow, guessing say seven.
Zero.
Oh, wow!
My single person has a perfect record.
I've filled it out on this website.
Hey.
You can write it in pencil.
Okay.
To be fair, I wanted to do one of this.
For what else worth, and maybe this is bad.
But I did not use the website.
I wrote it on my whiteboard.
So that is-
You did that.
I'm just streamed.
It is recorded.
Okay, I got it.
Yeah, it was recorded.
So it was a little more of the gym to see them
than just writing it in with pencil before.
And I mean, there were some upsets, right?
E-D's shirt out around one again.
Let's go back to the bracket and just take a look at the matches
we're going to be seeing next weekend.
Steeze with an upset.
I mean, if you look at the seat and hacks as an upset,
but that I don't think it's saying much,
sky crab over silver.
And again, I mean, you look at the ceiling low-key over NAN
not sure if that's seeing much of what I've said.
Blaze and I know we're mungy.
So a lot of lower seats, winning five of them moving on.
So kind of makes sense that there's no perfect backwards,
but you think one person, I don't wonder,
obviously I don't, I don't have a good way to do this,
but I wonder on these 80 people that you fill
about a bracket so that like this person got easier,
around this person got easier, around this person,
like I wonder how many of these 80 guesses
are just EDCR wrong, right?
And like the other side of my,
I mean, that was what I got around, yeah.
And I wonder how many of them are like, just,
so, we're going to be like, just blazing on Monday,
or just, in view of yourself, like,
whatever, the Howard is, right?
Like, I wonder how many people got each of them
writes, but they're interesting that no one
predicted this bracket just goes to show how good
all of these runners are that it's not predictable, right?
That the 16 seed can beat the one seed, or the 15 seed, I guess.
So wonderful that the scene is, you know, this in that there are six new playoffs players
and three of them have moved on to, we lost in a hand, we lost HMI, we lost NHB, but
Steve's moves on, blaze my moves on, sky crab moves on. Can we see any of them move on to the
semis nerdy? They're not all playing each other, so a lot of it's guaranteed, right? Hacks,
aquacord and dug out can take that away from them and then we have a repeat match from
and last season, empty and woken that is going to be sent them on.
Yeah, I mean, I do not wait for that match.
I mean, I always, I was so excited about that match last season, and we get a rematch now.
I mean, I will say it is kind of bizarre.
I, and I guess it's not bizarre given the bracket we started with, but just overall, it
is weird how similar this looks to last season so far.
I mean, you start going out round one, hacks up in the upper bracket, you know, aquacord
with him there as well, then infium Loki against each other, Duke, last season was going
and it's mongy I believe, but it's a very similar looking bracket overall, but in
either case I mean I just cannot wait for next weekend.
Yeah, it's going to be absolutely similar.
As a matter of time next week and same time as we started this weekend 11 a.m.
Eastern, whatever that is, UTC, GMT, PS2, whatever it is, Saturday and Sunday, Saturday,
we will have these four quarter finals matches all best at five Sunday, we will have the
The two semis, third place match, and then grand finals.
Grand finals, the best of seven of the rest of them are best of five as well.
Hopefully I have a little bit more media seconds for you guys.
Obviously there's no more new player in every user.
We got those all out of the way.
But hopefully we can cook something else up front for you guys.
And we will have those matches.
At least these quarter finals won the scheduled as soon as possible, just the order of them.
But it's all four quarter finals matches on Saturday.
Next weekend.
So, let's be back in for that.
great stuff. I mean we saw so many three tiers this weekend. Hopefully we can keep that going.
They're they're making up for last season. We had a truck. No, no, no, no game.
I don't get seven voices and then they're making up for this season. It's six in them already.
And we still have half the bracket left to play. So it was so exciting.
Some great Minecraft. Thank you to the rest today. I think it was more and
in the ropes, but I'm not entirely sure.
I was very tired this morning.
I woke up to make sure the stream was good
and run the first ad and then I went back to bed
and I woke up an hour later and I was shocked
that ECR's keys was on game five.
And then I was thirsty, I got out of bed
and got rates of the comm.
So definitely different vibe than yesterday for me.
I couldn't sleep after the game just today
after the cinema.
This is very exciting.
I was sick saying I had to wear something, it was crazy.
So we'll be back here next week on same time,
same commentators.
Me and her early back with Korean Carcours,
well, not sure again who's doing what.
But we'll have those matches scheduled.
We'll be able to find that in the discord.
It'll also be updated on the website whenever we have
those out.
Hopefully by the end of today.
Yeah, I mean, that's all I got.
Let's see next week on the other news.
I don't know.
No, that's it.
Thanks for always.
I love being here.
So yeah, we're excited for next weekend.
But yeah, that's all I got.
We will see you guys then enjoy the rest of your weekend and we'll have some great Minecraft for you guys come and Saturday
