And welcome back to MCSR Rank season 9 playoffs.
I am Curieway joined here with REC RAP.
record, how are you doing today? You excited for some fun Minecraft speed running matches.
I'm doing well. Hi, good morning. I got some food in my system. I'm ready to watch a lot of
high quality Minecraft. We have a lot of high quality Minecraft for you today. So that's great
that you're ready for that. I hope you're ready as well, Chad. As you can see above our heads,
the first match of today, hacks, bursts, steas, a battle of the current raining playoff
champion from season eight at a newcomer who upsets the number one seed in EDCR. So this is going
going to be a super exciting matchup.
Let's take a look at the bracket first up to see how we got here.
You can see, as I said, Steve's beat EDCR,
our number one seed last weekend,
Hacksbeat, Fimer, Guffin, favorite last weekend.
And then we have some other matches later today.
Coming up right after this one,
we have due-gile, first blaze-mind,
followed by aquacord and skycrab.
And then finally today,
the last match will be in the few verse-low key.
Parker, out of all these matches today,
Let's not worry about those yet.
What was your favorite match from last weekend?
If someone missed the first week in a rank,
but what match do they have to go back and watch?
Because it was just pure cinema.
There were a lot of gamepods.
There were a lot of gamefods.
Everything was a game five except for two matches last week.
I think my favorite was probably just the silver versus
Skycrab's match.
It felt like two different play styles battling you know,
this demon, two demon of a player,
but one of them never playing in playoffs before Skycrab's
and making it past silver, that was maybe my favorite match.
From last year.
That's a great match.
That was a really great match.
I think for me personally, the Battle of the Steve's
Nehann Loki was a great game as well.
I mean, there were so many great matches.
And the hope is that again, this weekend,
we're by the way, we didn't really mention this last week,
$5,000 is on the line by the way.
For anyone who doesn't know who maybe this is their first place,
there's $5,000 on the line.
If you win this ranked class, you're getting three grand
deposited to your bank account. We got money to spend on these players kind of, well, I guess they're like kind of just winning the money. It's not like, we're
We're that's kind of it's like it's like, we're not really paying them. I don't know. They're winning the money.
Let's not worry about the logistics or anything. Anyway, Steve's first hacks round one today. You saw in the bracket 15 seed versus the 12 seed there.
I don't want anyone to get a twisted.
perhaps should not be the 12th seed.
And with how Steve performed the last week Parker,
I think this could really go either way.
I mean, we mentioned in the EZR, Steve's game,
anything can happen.
Steve's played a amazing last week.
Yeah, I totally agree.
Do not underestimate these players.
Like, hacks, literally one last playoff.
Steve's literally beat the number one player.
I think this is gonna be a cinema match.
It's sort of the same battle of like a newcomer versus one
of these old demons, it's just gonna be high quality.
See this is playing really well last week.
Tax obviously played really well.
Both going to game 5s.
I'm hoping for another game 5.
That's true, actually.
I forgot that both of these games did go to the game 5.
So hopefully we do get another one.
Let's take a look at these player cards.
Let's get moving here.
Let's see it.
Let's move right along to see what these stats are.
Obviously we did see these last weekend.
But now it's a new week and it's nice to kind of refresh.
And Parker, I'm gonna say the thing that stands out to me
is steas has a better 1.16R-CPV and a faster ranked time by nearly 30 seconds in
both. So the top speed for steas to keep up with hacks, one of the best players in the world,
is absolutely there. I totally agree. That's that I was going to mention too,
but if I also were calling correctly, I think hacks had a 6 like 43 in playoffs last week.
So these players both have really fast top times, but it's interesting to see steas
actually just has a faster completion with less games than hacks.
Yeah, I mean, that is really actually way, they're really close.
They all really look, I mean, no, you're, oh, I don't think I like the same amount of games.
They're, they're basically, they're not gonna run that much this season.
And hacks, you know, after winning last season kind of took,
I would say a little bit of just a rank hiatus. I'm a little bit less sure of what steas did.
I'm curious if it's like practice rooms or anything of that because
Pretty one that doesn't know,
steas is very new to Minecraft's screen as well.
I believe it's really only been playing for like a year,
and is at this state of accessing incredibly impressive.
So I'm curious how they got so good,
so quickly with only that many games.
I would assume a lot of practice,
just like private rooms or fashion maps or anything like that.
But I mean, yeah, both of these players,
some really high level top speed,
and some really impressive stats to go around.
And we can see a little bit more here
with their average wind percentages.
Parker, there's a lot here.
I mean, hacks has a sub 930 average on three seed types.
Seas has a really fast average on BT,
but a 44% win rate on ruin portal.
That's really interesting.
What stands out to you here?
Yeah, I mean, that 44% win rate.
If I'm hacks, I'm thinking,
I want to play ruin portals.
We've seen some crazy performances from hacks
in a pass or a piece.
So that's definitely what I'll be pushing for.
If I were steas, I would be banning ruin portal.
because I don't want to be dealing with that low win rate.
Yeah, I mean, he's not a person today though.
Maybe, but I mean, partner, we've seen in the past,
I think if there's any player in ranked class
that we associate with a ruined portal seed, it's hacks, right?
Like he always gets like these crazy room
portals you're getting like 12 gold carrots
and just like a fast completion.
And it's just really plays into his playstyle.
But also from what we've seen from Steve,
I mean, remember from his interview last weekend,
his kind of thought process was like,
I need these really linear seeds where I can go fast
show off my mechanics.
But the problem is that's what Hax wants as well.
So I'm really curious, like with E-D star and C-Z last weekend,
it was kind of like a difference in play style.
Same thing with the Hax Findergum match.
I'm kind of a difference in play style.
I think these two players are going to play very similarly.
And I think it's really going to come down
to top speed and execution.
That's a great point.
Yeah, both their matches.
If you were trying to categorize them,
you could categorize it as the speed versus decision-making.
And in both of them, the speed one.
And so now we have the speed versus speed
versus speed, fighting fire with fire,
which one's gonna come out on top?
It's gonna be interesting.
I mean, the other winner rates for these are not
anything to sniff at or to, you know, scoff at it all,
but Hacks picking, desert temple,
seizes banning ruin, coral,
Hacks is gonna ban shipwreck.
So that means, and we kind of
make sense from Steve's on ruin, coral.
And I think, as you've seen in the past Parker,
a lot of top players really don't like playing shipwreck
in play.
So that's not surprising.
Yeah, I agree.
as a temple, just a pretty solid seed to play.
You know, first I want to kick off the day,
I like it.
Maybe we'll get like a fancy notch out for something,
but yeah, I mean,
the CSC is always fun.
We've seen a lot of players kind of experimenting,
doing a lot of unique things with TNT
in this version of play, so far.
So I'm excited to see kind of how these players execute on that.
Obviously the food consumption, the way that people
grab food into those temple seeds, is always exciting.
I'm very happy that village is not banned,
because I know about you, Parker,
I was watching Hax's been alive for a bit today,
like just warming up and everything.
I've seen a lot, and I don't know if this is gonna be
a trend we see in class,
I've seen a lot of people utilizing Village Bed
for blocks recently, it's like a very recent development.
So, very curious to see if that shows up in a Village C,
especially with Hax potentially playing
at later on in this match.
That's a great point, that's something I've never done,
but I think, yeah, and was it Hax last weekend?
Maybe it was on like a death recovery,
a very interesting way of getting blocks and it seems like it works pretty well.
I think you can get like half a stack of just blocks raw.
Yeah, you can get like 20 to 50 issues usually like 20 on the low end 50 if you
got to get lucky with fire. So can be very, very useful in a pinch. But in this first
scene, it's going to be all about the TNT, all about what these players can do with this
desert temple. And here we go. We can two of season nine playoffs is underway with the desert
temple to start beautiful, like both of them punching the sand early so they can get to
where they need to be.
Maybe we'll see a cool team T portal like last weekend.
I don't know if I saw any lava just yet.
Maybe these fires did the do you carry?
I did not see lava yet,
but we did have the river,
excuse me, right next to the desert temple.
So that'll be really useful for gravel.
You can see the mechanics on hacks
with or with hacks on full display.
Clean out the inventory on the buildup.
Looking for a lava pool,
not sure if I'm seeing anything,
I don't know if you spot anything,
but this river is gonna be really nice
to get the gravel that he needs.
And the trees from the occasion,
it looks like there's a couple trees
very close to each other.
So really nice kind of start here
if these players can find a lava pool.
Yeah, look at this, both of them doing the same free TNT
and the same gravel TNT,
it's just so perfectly aligned right here.
You can get everything you need, easy reach of water.
The main question is have they spotted a lava pool?
If one spots on the other doesn't,
this could be a massive game changing decision.
Absolutely, and we're seeing here, hacks in the river now looking for the lava pool still, like in F5. I'd imagine he's in F5 because he just doesn't see it yet, but pivoting towards the desert now, maybe season now, craft the Flint and steel looks like seas again completely different directions from both of these runners looking for anything, but hacks as the lava pool right up the jump here, and this can be a problem of seas doesn't find another one quickly, but he does with a floating cactus next to it. Look at that, cat that lava cactus, and
He's going to be too far ahead and he got that there's extra pork chops.
Yeah.
I mean, that's going to be big here.
It's another doesn't seem super linear right off the bat.
Like there's no immediate bastion, perhaps wide macroing to see.
These see the fortress, the bastion really anything here.
But these blocks from the TNC is going to be super, super useful.
And it also looks like Parker taking completely different terrain here to different flyers.
If I was fully going to this bastion, I think Hacks just totally made the wrong decision.
Yeah, I don't see the bastion already because he's going to have a really hard time getting to the bastion here.
If this terrain up towards the top doesn't open up and let him backtrack, he's...
I mean, looking at Steeze's screen, it looked like it was very far to the right, and Hacks just took a left in the nether.
You see him completely lost and Steeze's at the chalice.
Yeah, this is a really huge difference.
I'm not exactly sure of Hax's while over right now.
We can finally see just the Solson Valley on a stream of watches,
hoglin' for steas on the chalice park.
So we're going down to three and a half harts.
Has to craft a helmet still.
Probably wants to maybe get a forex off off.
No, still gonna force the rotten flesh.
But that's risky because he's gonna take damage
for this hoglin' down to two harts.
Play the horse!
The hoglin' in is gonna die!
Oh, my check-up!
Then it's on this first seed,
but play slightly too aggressively.
Doesn't wanna eat the pork yet
and gets punished big time for it.
Wow, just one more block and he would have been safe.
But now, hacks isn't the driving seat.
I mean, Steve's, like, two, two is credit.
He knows what the law of a fool is now.
Maybe he takes slightly more linear terrain.
Maybe he doesn't stop and kill that pig.
And he's still gonna make up time on hacks
with that neather terrain.
But, I mean, like a three minute time loss is three minutes.
That's a really hard to make up the speciality.
You know, difference in playoffs.
It's a huge difference in playoffs.
I mean, three minutes is a whole split, right?
Like it hacks in three minutes will be
maybe even measuring in three minutes.
So unless, I mean, the silver lining for steas is like,
I don't know, you were ahead by like a minute,
so maybe it's just like a full mental reset.
Like I can do that again, like I'm confident my play,
but it's gonna be tough to get back into this.
I'm curious how fast you run it back.
We've seen some very impressive runbacks
so far and plaves most notably.
I mean, in that Loki game, Loki died in the bastion.
want to encede five after a crazy run back. So anything can happen but against an opponent like
hacks, it's tough. It's tough. It's tough. Let's keep watching hacks. Now checking chunk
borders to see what direction the four is. Looks like it's pa z. Not sure if there's any great
terrain. Probably going to be pearl hanging back towards the chalice. It's going to be a little
bit more up in there but discuss the pearl a little bit and yeah that terrain looks great. So I don't
I don't think we're gonna be seeing trouble from hacks getting to the fortresses is not good if he has these fan
But seizes he's entering the Nether now. Yeah, I mean we're already back in the Nether like you said like very solid
But hacks and we leaving here soon
We don't have to really do that many pre-crafts on a seed like this in the bastion because hacks in the overworld
I mean has the TNC for the blaze that crafted a stone sword from his stone or his cobblestone from blowing up the temple
So has really everything that he needs to kind of go here and it's gonna be raging for the pearl hang will see
where the fortress is still not on the screen.
So again, this is any, any like hesitation or any time of not seeing the structure that, you know,
that could seize a little bit back into it, but hacks now at the spawner, commanding lead and
this seed one of the best of five. Yeah, like you said, we're not going to have to worry about
explosives. We've got the team key here. This is also bad for Steve's, you know, we're,
we were hoping for some sort of an enclosed spawner if you wanted to make up time, but that's just like a
a pretty linear path to the spawning in it.
Purgies in a similar spot is up to mine.
I have on this, I got on this.
A very low render.
I'm not sure exactly why.
Maybe a gas and skeleton, something.
But does this I to eat the pork chop this time?
The hoglins are there.
Blocks them off.
But again, packs in the floor already a blaze rod.
Doing the crafting.
I presume as a blaze-minute spawner,
it is where blaze is to kill.
It's going to be a really tough time for us to eat.
Especially with having taken so much damage
and already having to eat his pork chops.
Yes, this is really fighting demons here. He's on low Rd presumably because of a gas having to deal with those two hoglins after the PTSD and having died to them
And look at hacks already pre-crafted as I was just saying all of that. Yeah, not time to
Seas are going to be able to make up on
Mechanics no, it's yet to be really hard and something that I always love about it. I think it's oh my god
He counted two hearts again, but so that I really love that hacks gameplay
is he is one of the players who forces gold pickaxes, I think more than almost anyone else.
I think it's become a staple everyone else's game play, but like seeing it, I feel like every
time I look at Haxes inventory when he pre-cups there's also like five gold pickaxes in there.
So that's something where like another player can make up time, like Haxes has everything he
could possibly need here. And this is fast Parker. This could definitely be sub 9, sub 8, 30 even.
It's a 1200 distance stronghold and only needs one more rod to be able to go here with three
He blazes already at the spawner.
Oh my gosh, this is not looking good for Steve.
He's fighting another piglet now,
ran into another gas.
Oh my gosh, two guys dropped out of him.
The mafia has come for Steve.
And it's not looking good.
He's hiding in a corner.
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh.
What pretend that we didn't see him
see that piglet through the trunk?
Trunks.
Yeah, you know what, it's fine.
I mean, he probably just heard it subtitles,
you know, you can hide or flip.
Well, you see your eyes, close your eyes.
It's totally chilling.
I'm worried about it.
Hacks is still fighting for this last rod.
Obviously, it doesn't really matter at this point, you know?
Finally, gets it.
So isn't it able to raise the render?
Finally, going to be able to head to cords.
Has everything you need to be the game?
I guess besides food, but that's common in these high-level games
where we're just going to hungry reset.
No real worry there.
And Hacks knows he's ahead, right?
These players can see the split that the other players in Hacks
know is that these hasn't even made it to the fortress yet.
So can play a little bit calmer, maybe,
in this final final part of the game now
that he's digging on cords,
especially on low health.
Yeah, literally, like you could have the debate to yourself,
do I even go for a zero because I'm just so far ahead?
I mean, steas is now just getting out,
but he was having to deal with mob's
that entire time, losing health,
and maybe now sees the fortress,
but Hacks is just gonna be entering the end, any second.
Yep, how to pretty good,
primters like seize the portal room there,
gonna hungry set in the side of the room,
gets everything he needs,
And while season's entering the fortress,
Hax is going to be entering the end.
He probably will go for zero cycle Hax
is just so practice that something like this
all of these players are.
So as long as it's not something that's actually scary,
it's going to be this front 91 tower for Hax
is something that he could literally potentially do
with his eyes closed.
So I think he's going to be okay here,
especially with like 10 beds.
And I mean, Parker, if your Hax is going to be feeling
pretty good, especially after taking so much worse terrain
in the bashing, I think he played the rest
the seed really cleanly to close it out. Yeah, I agree. That's it. I was awesome. I don't
know if you saw, but I think it was quick charge. This guy had better not freaking. If
there's one guy who would show off when he's had, I think it might have. I remember in
L.C. Q. He went for like a crazy like one of the things. Oh, we got it in my gosh. What
is what does this guy doing? I mean, he had the quick charge three crossbow, which is cool.
He double shot the dragon with a crossbow. I don't know if I've ever seen that before. Yeah,
That's not very bad with max. I did. I may have been in access chat earlier asking like trying to brainstorm how we could like scare you and play
I was good. We didn't find anything. We didn't find a claim. So we're still looking but okay, not much to look at all this wood screen
Unfortunately, you can see I mean it was really interesting though with the start of that game though
Parker because Steve said such a lead going into the bastion packs like you know took this like really bad terrain
I mean it's actually some type of thing that can be used but I think the aggression of Steve
I get it, you know, you want to play really strong to come out, you know, you're ahead in the bash and you don't want to lose that lead against someone like Hacks, but
tough way to start in this match. Yeah, and even when he ran back, he was still playing aggressively.
Maybe maybe making some mistakes. I think he talked about the hard mode and had some two like really latepigs drops and maybe if you talked about earlier, you don't get those.
Not sure exactly what was going on, but he was definitely taking far more damage than Hacks was.
Yeah, absolutely, and Hacks is gonna be up 1-0 in this best of five.
So he's gonna try and bring it back on some type of seed.
We'll see shortly, but again, like Hacks just did such a good job there.
Here's the seed selection. We're going to the ocean.
I like it. I think it makes sense.
Very treasures of seed type that both of these players feel very, very confident in.
So that is to be a really fast seed Parker and I'm looking forward to seeing if
seeds can bring it back here, make it one-to-one.
Yeah, I think there are treasures, one of those really high-quality seeds where you're going to get good food,
you're going to get good tools, spare some unfortunate circumstances, and like we were seeing on the player cards,
I mean, Steeze has played a lot of ROSG, that's a lot of rare treasures, he has the fastest RSHPD, which is pretty impressive.
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, that is, that is, I mean, Hax isn't really played that much ROSG, but I mean, still,
to have a faster time than someone like Hax is still very, very impressive and I mean two
sub-nines in this from R-S-G both of these players very cool to see. I mean, very treasure is like
kind of that seed type that I think so many people are more familiar with because of it's just
like the world record strategy nowadays but it's always fun to see a ranked as well. It's just
a really fast consistency type and it allows for really aggressive gameplay later on with salmon
et cetera. So we'll see how easily the BTS or these players usually doesn't happen
where it's, you know, any big struggle for these players at this point. But it looks like
these will get it getting here slightly earlier than hacks and that can again be, you know,
just a nice confidence boost in the beginning of CD achievements first, right? Oh, a hundred
percent. And that's something you're going to be wanting to assure you that you're still in this,
you know, you don't want to be going into the second seed behind on everything. You know,
Steve was holding his own on that that last seed up until the death. And I
looked like we're going to be swimming to a completely different island.
Oh, it's a little bit awkward. We just don't have trees on yours. But we
do have TNT. So we're going to be seeing some TNT here. We can also make a
dining pick. The time and pick is back for us. Great. Yeah. I was going to
mention like this B. T is awesome. Right. Like three diamonds. A couple
pieces of distraction gold. You get TNT for your blaze spawner. Like this
This is great, everything you could ever want and more really here.
Yeah, now the question is, have we seen a magma ravine?
I don't think either was looking super hard for us to probably both confident in this first
direction that they're going?
Yeah, this cow looks good for a bull.
I think Hacks ended up taking a little bit of a lead there just because I think his
TNT was slightly better than he had to grab some logs afterwards.
So, gets back here with a little bit of a lead, but overall it's pretty standard for both
players.
It's like that, another terrain decision seemed very uncharacteristic of hacks.
I wonder if that was some just first game nerfs or something to kind of monitor in the rest of the series we'll see here.
As it looks like actually Steve's both are much, oh, didn't grab Gravel yet.
Never mind.
That's why Steve's look like they were at her second.
So just slide differences, but yeah, you're totally right.
Let's see if hacks makes that same mistake here.
I don't think he will, but it could be signs that he's not playing exactly the top of his game,
the both players appear to be going sin direction.
No, see, taking the lower left to rain here.
Yeah, and I'm like, oh, I get to be hot again.
This is in the game.
Oh, my, well, oh my god,
we have to double hit though.
That's really annoying.
Not for the time loss or anything,
but just the food that Steve has to now eat compared to Hacks.
That is so annoying, like just really unfortunate situation.
Doesn't really want to waste time killing the hoglins either.
But also, it's, you look at this, hurry.
The same thing has happened.
Steve takes different terrain.
Hacks went right.
Steve's went left this time.
And Steve's is in the bashing first.
I didn't think it was going to happen again.
I was kind of joking about maybe Hacks is going to make the same mistake.
But he made the same mistake.
And if Steve doesn't die again, I mean, this is a civil arrest.
Steve's been taking more damage already.
But let's watch and see if he dies.
I don't think that's the will, but right?
Like, I mean, he's got the help back up.
He's going to have, he's going to want to try and
and can serve as much of as food as you can,
but packs entering from a better spot,
and I really like this play of digging into the treasure,
especially when you know you're this high up in the treasure,
because it's so much less likely you're gonna get scared off
by pigs or anything like that,
and hacks just takes so much better train entering the bastion
where season is just digging around, trying to find it.
Now, I do think I just saw the fort on season screen
and that right side,
so neither these players are gonna have to go to the bottom,
which is huge, but again, this is a really back and forth game
right now and I'm really worried about what the food situation will look like for
seas because it's taken so much damage and it's down just to two salmon after this
parker. Wow yeah he really has been cranking through the food and it's kind of crazy
hacks really did make up all the time by dealing with the bastion better than
seas that you know seas going for maybe a high-roll play assuming that where he
needs to go is in a given direction but just wasn't so he had to dig into the
I mean, both have a diamond pick here.
So we should be seeing a fairly fast treasure out.
And again, we do know where that fortress is.
Yeah, I will say, though, Parker,
it doesn't look like there's that many gold blocks.
Like these players actually might still have to go down to the bottom,
just to get gold for maybe trades.
They're getting close to 20.
I mean, ranked chess are juice, but I think
these legit mine like six gold blocks.
But that is 16 of city and that's going to be a lot.
It's going to really depend on the pearl trades here.
Taxed, actually, Pearl hanged down to, oh no, split his pearls.
It was like, why do we have three pearls?
But no, that would make sense.
Already up to 16, I mean, these, these,
these, pretty soon, Parker, they look like they,
they are going to get everything they need from all these
gold blocks.
Yeah, with gold to spare, like,
access to the five gold, these can be only a dumb pick.
But he, it looks like he's going, maybe he didn't see
the bottom of the treasure.
How many pearls do they have?
That 20 pearls, we saw, he must have just not seen the fund.
I'm so confused. Yeah, has to break.
This only wanted to do so he didn't see it on the side, but
Steve's did and now Steve says that's a huge leap.
Wow, when he said, yeah.
Oh my gosh, I can't I can't believe that.
Steve's again, making better decisions with terrain and just
looking around, but how this may be after him from a
bunch of better sideline on the top here.
Maybe, yeah, hacks, maybe not going to go inside.
Maybe you can find this one or quicker.
I saw steas did the thing that Loki did in the other mat where he like,
how did he go ahead and I had to do a headhead or yeah.
Yeah, he didn't the headhead or get in the or again,
like, like, even put yourself in steas head for a second, like,
you're the underdog in a special area of the underdog.
You're in your first playoffs ever, like have some fun.
Have some fun, farm the crowd.
Like, that's a cool play from steas.
I don't have to hit it. That's awesome.
I totally agree. I think that's a phenomenal analysis.
You know, Steve feeling comfortable here,
You know, especially after a death, you want to be feeling more comfortable.
The more comfortable that you are, the closer that you can play, how you normally play
and not to worry about any shakingness with nerves.
But I mean, he's not really ahead by too much here.
A head of rod and a blaze spawner to the hacks is still playing dangerously fast,
too. You always have to be wary of that. Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, Steve's already building the portal three rods so far. I know six rods so far.
I was looking at the icon and not the player inventory thing.
So these rates are crazy fast.
It's basically a six flat line.
We'll see how many eyes he has to throw.
It looks like he's going to be good with just one
and a grab the eye head back and be heading to courts.
Perhaps not too far behind.
Only has four rods, but I mean, what a play so far from C's.
Again, just not having to go to the bottom
is so, so, so huge in this matchup.
Fully pretty crafted.
I think we saw a lot of gold picks from C's.
He's probably more than Hacks is gonna have.
Also the health advantage.
We have a 2000 block strong.
I don't know why Hacks didn't hunger reset there.
He's gonna have to burn an anchor in the neather.
Did see someone hide.
No, no, season set of crazy vocal.
She's not crazy.
I'm like, is he gonna die for him?
Cause I had fire as and stuff.
I just like, full reach distance vocal.
And yeah, this is really scary for Hacks.
And I think knows he's behind though.
Has to try and crank face.
Gonna hunger reset now.
But again, Steve's part of basically on chords, not too far away.
Wait a minute, we're in a second ring stronghold.
How many times do you go second ring right now?
What is this?
And look at this, Steve's using his gold picks.
So if Hats doesn't find any better terrain,
he's just going to be losing a lot of time there.
Also, again, had to burn, oh my gosh,
do you see that drag look into the lava?
Did he bring it all the way down?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
very close.
Oh, my gosh, bro, that's great.
That's not freaking love that.
That attack is just amazing.
Seas playing really well here in the lava.
Looks like there's a lot of terrain in the lava,
so maybe Hacks found some better terrain here.
Just lost up the sea so far in the stronghold.
I can't believe I'm sorry, I can't get over there in second.
I don't know if we've ever had a second ring stronghold.
I'm not even kidding, really.
I can not remember the last time.
I've seen a second ring stronghold in playoffs.
And there's the portal room.
Yes, he's got to be feeling confident in now, Hacks isn't,
even in the stronghold.
If this is a hitable of zero,
Caesar's gonna be bringing it back to one one.
Crafting his eyes, he has five extra,
you can hit any zero with that,
but it's very, very fast.
Very fast.
And that's perfect.
What's the power?
Oh, this is a pretty good tower.
He's gonna wait for a delayed second pearl,
probably just pushing 90 here,
but if the dragon doesn't fly,
Steve's can't hit the zero.
Their rotation early has the bow, but no arrows it looks like.
And the jack is going to hit the curb.
Oh my gosh.
And I think you can hit 95 on the zero.
Okay, should he get a whole rotation?
Yeah.
That's the windcon.
Oh my gosh, Hacks might win here.
But he's low pearls, Curry.
Only said he might not have enough pearls.
He's gonna have to do the same weight
the throw pearl that Steve did. How many eyes run the portal? One, two, one.
I was going to have two pearls only. Oh, but it's actually going to happen.
Oh, yes. Look at something. Oh, my.
Oh, my. We go out.
We're going to help. Go. We're going to help.
Go. We're going to help. Go.
We're going to help.
Action doesn't have enough pearls to push for this zero.
So he's going to have to play for a one cycle, which a little does he know is going to
He's gonna win him that, never mind, never mind.
He's still going for zero.
Even if he makes 90, he's just not gonna be able to hit it.
He's gonna put a snipe.
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, Kerry.
He bailed though.
He bailed.
So he's gonna just be fine.
He just had his actions game in there.
It taxes him in the end.
How did he even?
Good shit.
Like was he that low, I don't even remember?
No, I don't remember.
He just held it with low.
I think and and and and you're my god in the kitchen.
I just said it right.
Oh, and a second ring.
Oh my god.
It must have been an enderman or something.
Because I think only through three pearls.
But then when he got into the fountain, he was on like two hearts or something.
Maybe I'm writing for the analysis of all time after this match.
We're going to be pistols don't watch because he's going to have to clip 17 different things
because we're stupid.
But here's a more impressive editor than either what steas or low-keyed it because it's
on flat ground and now finishing off with a beautiful one cycle.
Oh, he's taking the second seed. Wow.
I was actually so awesome. I love the little thing.
That was so cool.
Raising match.
That was so back and forth like I don't even know what happened.
Every split it seems like just back and forth and back and forth.
Wow. I mean, this splits do not tell the whole story.
Steve's ahead of by a minute entering the end.
I mean, there were just so many impressive plays throughout the drag-clicking the mechanics on this play.
And it just, the dragonfly. I mean, Parker, I don't even know what to say.
Yeah, that's he was really just the story of the dragonfly. I think Steve's honestly maybe didn't push 95 there
because he was so ahead, you know, maybe he was entering 10 seconds ahead of us. He would have pushed 95
And he would have it the zero.
But these are very close matches here.
And Steve's unfortunately just choking his performance.
I think he's only pretty confident though.
I mean, we've seen him hitting some head hitters, mid-gain play.
I think there's definitely a good chance that Steve wins this next match
and keeps his tournament life alive.
I mean, there's a real world that we can live in.
That's like, Steve's up too, okay.
You know what I mean?
Like, just done dying the bastion, doesn't die in the end.
They're like, two deaths is really what's given.
access to then and so I don't even know if you're feeling great as hacks if you go back and watch these replays, but I mean to be getting a replays,
full of him is ready for some full of analysis. I can't wait to see what he caught in these first two
seeds and we'll throw it over him now. Good morning, good morning everyone. Welcome to the analysis segment. The mid
we'd match an analysis of MCSR ranked playoffs.
We are in day three and it is time to talk about this first match.
Hacks versus Steve's and what I'm matched it has been so far.
What an amazing match it has been.
Let's talk, let's send you back to that first seed, right?
Steve's in the lead taking amazing terrain towards the bastion.
But again, the commentators already noticed that.
The commentators already spoke about how different
Haxies terrain management was to seizes
and how much I'm going to bond to you that gave him.
But I want to talk about one small thing
that you may not have noticed.
And that is that last week,
Steve's was playing in Yiddish.
You might remember this.
He played in a different language
so that his search crafting was easier.
Since then, he has changed from Yiddish to Norwegian.
As we can see in his subtitles
on the right hand side of the screen here,
These are all in Norwegian.
Now this change is completely obviously optional.
You can change it in the settings
and that encourages steers to save time on his search crafts.
However, one small thing that I noticed during this
is that during steers' search craft here,
as he tries to speedily craft his helmet
while the TNT is exploding, firstly, he mistypes.
He is intending to type LM here, instead he types NM,
which doesn't give him any valid searches.
So he leaves the crafting table,
re-enters it.
And as you can see,
the first craft available for him
is a pill-maker bank,
which I have been reliably informed
is Norwegian for fledging table,
because that's what it is in English.
So, unfortunately here,
he attempts to craft the gold helmet,
which is the option right next to him,
But instead almost crafts the fletching table.
He isn't able to correct himself before the Charles Explodes.
And if he was, then he would have been able to leave this
Charles instantly.
Instead, once he does this, grabs this block.
He has to take damage from this hoglin, comes back down here.
It takes another hit from the hoglin.
And then still has to craft.
And notice, as he's crafting here,
he does the same thing again.
And the main reason for this is because he has these two
when in his inventory, they didn't throw out in the overwhelm.
Now, this is after TNTing, the gravel on the floor,
having this in his inventory is definitely messed up
his muscle memory, and being relatively new
to no region-side crafting language could definitely
have caused him some mental strain here,
definitely having, you know, leaving his crafting table there,
for example, struggling and having to be chased by a
honklin, as we speak, honklin in front takes the fire
tick damage to avoid knockback, but, and of course,
obviously taking the death here. Pigland jumps in the way,
hogland, unfortunately able to hit him, even though he does triple stack and tries to block
himself off, it is really unfortunate. And after the reset notice, I believe that he noticed this
as well because after TNTing here, notice that he starts throwing out is full of instantly
leaving himself only one, so he doesn't have that repeat a second time. Now that was just a
really, really niche small thing that I wanted to mention that was a big change obviously from last
week changing your entire language that you play Minecraft in is a massive change and midway
through playoffs. Maybe it wasn't the right time to do it. It's something that Steve's can
analyze. However, in that second seed, Steve's found himself miles ahead again in the end before
hacks was in the stronghold and this is how it ended. I know that the commentator didn't quite
see exactly what happened but he's playing max distance for a perch and somehow this dragon
matches in a very, very unorthodox way. It seems like it
matches diagonally. It seems like it matches before it even
reaches the node that's opposite the two towers. It
matches so fast that Steve decides to pull in on four and a
half hearts and he remit then leaving himself on just to the
dragon it's already insanely low down and he takes an early
bed dealing very, very minimal damage. As you can see to retain
height, leaving himself on just one and a half
part, gets another bet out, tries to save the one
cycle, but with very minimal damage, he realizes
that it's not going to be possible for him to kill
the dragon on this rotation, and with no arrows, there's no
chance for him to continue the victory.
So this has been ahead in both of the scenes, but it's ended up
losing can hacks, find a way to increase his speed, to
guarantee the three oh or will, steas is speed, to be able to
see him through and maybe hit a reverse sweep, stick around
Just find out I'm going to send you back over to Curie White.
I'm Brett Krap, right now.
Thank you so much for that incredible analysis.
That was a wild to watch back.
I mean, I'm probably going to be talking about it like, I think like if I tried to learn
a whole other language to search craft, who picking the week in between playoffs is a pretty
aggressive choice I'd have to say.
Yeah, I know a lot of people wait like for the literal wall between seasons where there's the least amount on the line to change the search cost crafting because they know which is going to be bad.
Maybe it's like, I mean, I don't know. I mean, I kind of respect trying to change to the new language, because you're like, you know, I'm one of these players, these top level players, I can adjust this. I can learn.
But I just don't think it's smart and long run and we saw that really just kind of like a butterfly effect that into just a whole bunch of mistakes
And I think that's really the story of this high-level gameplay is you can make one tiny little mistake
But that can cause you you know get hit by a hog win
They get hit by a hog and again
I put you know bad situation where you die and you lose the entire seat and maybe he lost the entire seat because he didn't get that first search craft
Because he chose to change his language, you know, love that analysis from Poland.
That was crazy. And it's got some of the chai I see you saying that like,
Steve's already new Norwegian. That doesn't change the fact that you are literally changing from
another language like in like, during a plan. So I still think that's like crazy, crazy.
Like almost, I don't know if impressive is the right word. It's like really bold.
It's really, really bold. And it's, it's just like, it's a crazy decision.
decision, I hope it pays off for him, but it's a very, very bold decision, and it's
very unfortunate that it had a consequence in the first game. Yeah, I'm waiting for like
the law cat or the pirate speaker, like upside down, like that would be awesome. So hopefully
we get a player that wants to experiment with that eventually. Anyway, village, very excited for
this. This is the only pick that he can pick left. He tried to do it on very treasure, didn't make
but again, Parker, if you're sees,
you gotta kinda feel like, okay, you know what I mean?
Like, sure you're down to him.
But he's probably like, maybe the best way
to be down to, oh, I don't know how to say that
without sounding like a crazy coping as commentators.
But like, he's gonna head basically
at the bastion both seats.
Like, that's not nothing.
He has to have a lot of situations where he's ahead.
And it just, it really is just those, like,
two mistakes in the end of the last one,
you could chalk up his unfortunate dragon class in 95.
And then he gets a diagonal perch,
doesn't get the beds off, no damage, lose the seed.
There is definitely a line,
especially to keep the mental alive here.
So I totally agree.
I mean, I don't think Steece is gonna be out of it mentally,
but Torna and Y is in a really bad position.
His back is pushed against the wall.
He has to win the seed otherwise he's out of place.
I mean, that is pretty nuts.
It is Torna and my life on the line for Steece here,
they too invite to Mara,
as they for invite tomorrow on the line for steers.
A K-Shavillage Sponi right next to the lobby pool is a pretty interesting village
seat.
See, hatch grabbing one gravel.
Don't see steers doing the same, but curious to see where the blacksmith is.
Kaviles on the way as well, seasonal grab these, but pretty linear overworld here, Parker.
It's got to find the blacksmith.
Yeah, having the blacksmith so far away, maybe you're even looking for a second lobby.
Well, I know we spawn on top of one.
But if you can find a closer,
loveful, deck of potential, potentially, save you time here,
Cax has been able to grind Flint on the way,
maybe to getting his, his water or on his way to the loveful.
It looks like Cax is running further into this event as well.
He's a ruined portal, so maybe to be out for this year.
I don't know if I like this. We have a crying.
There's a lot of room behind it.
I don't know if I have a here. I mean, this is huge.
You get two extra iron and it gets, this allows for shears here.
It also allows for just, I mean, really aggressive play here from hacks.
I'm curious, Steve's probably not going to go for this.
I mean, this is a really unique line from hacks here.
And I think it's going to pay off big time.
Yeah, I was, I was initially scared for hacks,
because I didn't see any water, but there is a water pool right next to it.
So I think hacks is just going to be making up a lot of time here on Steve's.
Well, I think this is the thing.
I think they're still going to enter relatively similar times.
I think the difference is going to be, I mean,
have says you're going to make shears because he's going to be able to do the goldaxn
and everything. That's the difference. The difference, oh, he is going to make shears.
So the difference is they're going to enter roughly the same time, but
steas without really knowing it right now is hoping that the bastion is directly in his face
because hacks has way more blocks, way more resources. The shears are nice to have, but if the
bastion is legit right in front of you, it doesn't matter at all. So that's the variance
that steas needs right now without even knowing it because you didn't know this room portal
even existed and there's the Bastard Parker. It's right there. So all of this you don't
awkward though. Steve's only has 29 lengths left so he's going to have to mine some from somewhere
packs on the other hand is going to get a little event but you're totally right. We spawned
on the Bastard doesn't matter nearly as much. No it doesn't matter nearly as much. You also have the
the you can just grab like 10 that the rack above you sure you're going to lose like a little bit.
That's true. But this could have been this could have been like a 30 second time loss for Steve's
without him even realizing.
So, not going to run into the same problem here.
Also, you're going to make the gold pick here.
I really like that.
Just fully aggressive.
Have as many blocks as you can.
Save all the wood and actually, it's going to have to use leaves here in the sense of a
can burn Parker.
It can't get a little bit scary.
There can be the un-luckyness there.
Seems to not be happening.
But obviously, scary.
See, he's getting hit though.
Go over the bridge.
Oh, my gosh.
Fairly survived.
It's going to be okay.
Both go in for Sue grout here.
I really like the recovery from Steve's, but it is going to lose in some time.
Hacks already getting the piglins in the trading hole.
Yeah, as opposed to last seed, Steve's handling the damage better.
He's not not taking death still, it could help.
Did lose a bit of time on Hacks, but not a crazy amount.
No, not a crazy amount at all.
Neither player going for auto funnel, I think both got a similar amount of pigs.
We haven't seen the bastion yet.
So you're trying to widen macro and also gets this last like stray pigland on the side here.
Still looking is going to pie chart.
Packs probably will be doing the same shortly getting this last stray pig.
Well, whereas pretty close here, but again, that like advantage that hacks could have had is much less because of how close we are here.
100% looks like they're both pearl hanging a similar direction.
We do have a crimson forest, so maybe it's potentially weird.
Finding the four or purling because you have all the trees, but I think the trend look decently open
Tax also doing this pre-graphs
Just such a treat to watch these guys play
Yeah, absolutely. I mean this is actually out those season of forts. Oh my gosh
Maybe did have a little bit more pigs out of here a little sooner
Doesn't see the spawner. I don't think no does on it right now
Iron axe iron sword in the hopper ready to go and again
And I mean, Steve's life on the line here in this tournament has to bring it back
here.
And it's going to be tough struggling to find the best terrain into this fortress.
Can't really find a good spot to Pearl Parker.
Yeah, and he's just losing time on time with Hacks here.
I mean, didn't have a terribly disadvantaged position going into the baste, but now does
going into the fort.
Like Hacks has already building his portal.
Yeah, that is, that is great.
You really aggressive portal build from hacks,
gets the pie chart set up or preemptive, hits the blaze away ocean,
which is a little bit annoying, but should be okay here.
You can obviously curl right back onto the portal,
which is going to do right now.
Steve is going to try and bring back some time here.
It's really going to come down to second portal navigation,
which is actually going to be a big play Parker.
The stronghold is over 2,000 blocks away,
and they're playing the same spawner here.
So it could really come down to another terrain now
to go into second portal.
For now, I'm going to point.
And if it's anything like the last couple of seeds,
these are the things that are going to be better.
That looks bad.
He hasn't lost it entirely.
Didn't fall.
Oh, it's not.
It read anything.
But it is just a little bit awkward.
You know, you could purl hang and boat down to it to get it.
But it's definitely not as ideal as straight up getting the rod.
Hacks now fully pre-craft.
That I don't know if he has any gold Hicks in the situation,
Which maybe could matter for such a strong strong. Oh my gosh dolphin dolphin. Oh, it was
machines, but it was so good. Wow, maybe not a fan favorite decision when he's going to be
fine with that outcome gets the pick up the eye has the pro hang up does I I'm going to know
like has it definitely a different angle of an eye throw compared to or of a pro hang compared to
what hacks did both still waiting on these blades is so maybe the terrain will come into to play
play here. Four rods to three we can see to the side of our cams. It's going to really
come down to Blake's cycle. I think Parker. We just got to hope that they both leave
on the same cycle. Yeah, and I don't know if either player really got any stress and
not a ton of variance that's going to pass it out. Steve should leave from these four. I think.
Oh, but maybe not. Oh, I don't know. Or it's got to be another cycle. You didn't get a
single blaze rod from all of those. Wow. Still this is now one cycle behind. There's the cycle.
This will give steas the blaze that he needs is going to have to drop down to get the last rod
does. Hacks low though in an intervene. So it's a weird terrain spot perhaps great bulk clutch from
steas to survive. Oh my gosh. Oh seven thousand hoglins on his screen as well navigating the terrain
Hacks, I believe, maybe even digging down on cords right now.
So these are going to have to do everything you can to catch up.
But Hacks should be building the portal suit has a lot of blocks to still dig to get down.
So like, why 40 ish.
I'm not exactly sure what season is still 50 blocks away, Parker.
Gonna be tough here.
This is going to need a miracle here.
I like this pearl to actually make some really good terrain decision is only like 20 blocks off.
Now, and it's going to bridge to it.
This is so, wow.
We made up a lot of time, but Hacks is still in the lead.
It's a check out the other half of the starter.
Hacks is not in starter right now.
That's the matter, maybe that could be it.
You have different spades here.
They could be on equal pace.
Steve's in starter.
Hacks is in starter.
Now they're exactly the same position.
I think going different parts of the strong one here.
I like to see the more and the more and the more.
But I'm not going to have to really move.
Steve's going to be in first.
Oh my god.
Not by a lot.
Having actually a little bit of trouble, Hacks was a hunger reset though, Parker.
I missed the after they didn't see how high of a pro club this isn't, at least
058, but it's run. So it should be okay for steers. Has the pro has the extra
better? Well, it's all tower. But it's all at 99 here is going to be tight. He's going
to make it just barely. What a zero set. Easy, crazy set up. Has the explosives has the
bow and any nerves he might have had with an O2 deficit is gone wins against
He keeps himself like a hero and all of a sudden Steve looks like an absolute
demon.
What a crazy woman.
What a comeback.
He was so far behind in the fortress made up so much time on the terrain now.
Made up time on the stronghold now.
And it's the zero.
That was a beautiful zero.
You've got to be feeling good of your steas.
I'm so excited.
Oh my gosh.
Stises in it ladies and gentlemen when everything went down when it was so bad
He was 40 seconds behind finding the stronghold. They both find it out
Makes up 30 seconds getting to the stronghold makes up another 20 entry in the end faster
Now I'm having a hungry set is so huge there and then just an unbelievable 0.
Oh, 58 had to dig up so many blocks caged in.
Then had to get to front 97.
And then it doesn't even go for the,
I totally thought he was going to go for a side set up then.
I thought he's going for a side set up too,
but now he's like,
now I'm hitting right now.
That's not 79.
Unbelievable.
Absolutely unbelievable.
Wow.
What a see.
How do you even follow up Steve?
Oh my God.
I don't know.
I mean, that's got a feel so poor.
It's a little bit scary though,
because Hacks can just come in here and be like,
Okay, and that was cute.
Now I'm going to pick up a portal and sub seven on your head.
So that's like a little bit scary happen.
We'll see if Hacks actually decides to do that.
But I mean, that's kind of what we're saying.
Like, Steve really had an argument
of winning those first two games really shows
why in the third, and I mean,
if you're Hacks, you've got to be at least like
a little nervous note.
Yeah, I mean, even though Steve is a newcomer,
he's kind of starting to make a name for himself.
He's like, you know what?
I beat the number one rank player.
You know what, I'm playing hacks, I'm down too old,
and I won off of crazy comeback,
but it is ruined portal.
And this has gotten the scary prestige.
It's the seed type that you ban.
And if there's one person in my opinion,
that you don't wanna play on a ruined portal,
it's hacks.
Yeah, this is a little bit scary here,
but I mean, I mean, if you're gonna say anything,
like, the season's mechanics on that last seed,
holy smokes.
I mean, throughout this entire,
that's like, you mentioned it before,
like the drag-cooking thing you did on that
second season. I think it was to get the portal like those are things that on a
ruin portal scene are going to be crazy. So I'm really excited to see what both of these
two players do even though season 1, right? It was 44%. I think that's just because
you're trying to just crank it. Maybe it's because of that's like what happens
here. The good luck in the chat. The final day on the line top four is spot in the
tournament. And what is that ruin portal? Whoa. This is really high quality. The only thing
It could be better as like a looting seed curry.
You can have iron thick.
You have eight garrets.
No, this is the one thing.
You have an iron thick.
You have everything.
I was watching,
hatches stream this morning.
And he was warming up with Mungi,
play ass competitor this season.
And I legit swear I got,
they got maybe this exact seed.
It was like 12 garrets to put four iron
and Mungi literally said,
this is the type of room for a lot of people.
That they do a fast.
And what is this?
What is this?
Oh my god.
These on the chalice packs on the on the chalice excuse me on the bridge. The fortress is right there. This is an unreal seed
This is like world record potential levels of speedy or curry both having to make a bridge
So that the piglins can follow them. I think hacks doing it slightly better
But look at this like they've started their route sub-minit curry. This is literally like picture perfect seed apart from like a looting seed
which if you have good enough rates, it just doesn't even matter, I just doesn't matter.
This is insane.
This is a absurd seat. I really love the decision-making that Hax has made on the seat so far.
It's so hard to go back and forth, but Hax didn't have a gold block in his inventory or like in his hop bar.
So what is he doing? He knows he has a gold axe breaks the chest to aggro the piglet.
Then let's the men have a bunch of gold already to like deal with that,
plays this incredibly incredibly well. And the food is the thing to really keep an eye.
Because eight gold in carrots, they don't have to think about a thing.
I think, honestly, like, like, like,
like, we're in three, obviously, like the best thing.
But goal in carrots is not that far behind.
Like, just being able to play so aggressively here,
not worried about your health at all.
That chest is crazy.
Two more global locks for anything that you need.
The, the, the city and should hopefully be enough.
We really don't want to see these guys have to go to the bottom
of treasure.
Shouldn't have to.
You have to ready with 12 of the city in.
I haven't seen the spawner parker, but I don't really think I'm out.
I think we're going to be in for a very fast scene.
I totally agree.
I saw that Steve's did lose a gold block,
but there were two more in the double chest.
So we're probably totally fine on trades.
Pay attention to this pre-crafting.
Pay attention to the mechanics here, the micro,
because it will be mattering.
As hacks, I think, is about to leave.
Has 20 obvious?
52 extra gold, 52 extra gold, and it's going to be leaving.
Has everything that he wants?
I'm not exactly sure he explored it.
He's 43, so I'm 23, so I'm 23, so I'm 23,
so I'm 23, so I'm 23, so I'm 23, so I'm 34,
and on the top, no trades, no spawner.
Oh, that is the spawner that he's probably too, I believe.
So he's going to be on it.
No, it's just a good part.
We're getting to the good part.
And we're, he's a buried fort.
So that's a little bit annoying.
But there's this corner now.
So still a sub three spawner parker, not sure if he saw
the second one I don't think he did.
So it's going to be playing here at the first one.
Has the blazebed setup ready to go?
Steve's also in the fort at a different spawner parker
found better terrain.
Yeah, even though hats, apparently made up a lot of time,
just on that bashing and getting to the,
oh my gosh, the track of the game from Steve's.
Sorry, that was so good.
Even though he made up so much time,
Steve's right back at him finding the spawner faster
and now at a very comparable position,
maybe Steve's even having a better position
perlvinging wise for potential terrain.
Max has got a lot of awkward overhangs here.
Yeah.
He's been potentially a little bit more open
and now it's just the game of how fast can we preprap?
We've got good spawns here.
Steve says a four spawn.
How many rods were we at?
We're both at three.
It's not even four minutes, Corey.
No, it's not.
It's 330 haxes building the first portal. We have four rods. It's haxes to be blinding.
Steeze is not too far behind. I think you made a great point about the terrain.
That's really the thing to watch out for. We could be going to different shrunk holes.
One of them could have an advantage. We'll see how far the shrunk hole is. It's far.
It's haxes to throw two. These could be different shrunk holes.
Haxes 250-82. Do we see it on season screen? It looks like it's the same shrunk hole.
It looks like it's the same strong. It's far for both. It's very far for both and it looks like the same stronghold. So
Hacks are going to get the pre-crust on now. Again, the gold picks are going to come out for both players.
They have a bunch of explosives. The gold picks are down. The gold and carrots are there.
And it's going to come down to cansties or hacks leave off this blaze cycle.
Season's one more run. Does it?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. Still on five gets the crawling off.
Does Hax leave? No. Also on five, they're both believed so I'm not until the next
Blaze Cycle spawns in. Can't see much of them. I think I think a potential for a ranked
world record is out the window. We don't have good enough Blaze rates, but both are waiting here.
I'm that spawner like Hawks, everything precrafted, literally both just waiting,
and one of these Blaze's should give them the final rods that they need. A little bit awkward
for Steve's though. Yeah. Perhaps that's it. There's the rock for Steve's. He's
totally leaving a chords. Hacks this row way better. Hacks this row way
better leaving. So when we talk to be a Steve's advantage, ends up being a
hacks advantage, both in lava, both have to go a crazy distance. But hacks
is on such a better terrain. Has the goal picks as well. Steve's just stuck
under lava and Hacks can just blast through all this terrain. All ready at
chords, Parker. Steve says a good, I think, 100 blocks to still go.
Oh, yeah, really just throwing a lot of panic pearls
that are trying to get out of the lava
and it's just not working.
Hacks is in the stronghold.
Looks like a good spike,
and we could see a close out to this matchup.
There it is, enters the portal room.
Five, thirty, very fast seed.
Right?
That's so much of a trolling.
And this is going to be entering here,
but it's just not fast enough pay attention to the hack.
Zero, it's back dragon.
We had the gold picks, though.
still probably gonna be off 95 here looks like a pretty roll.
One heart should be okay.
The pro wasn't great Parker should be able to get to 95,
but it's gonna be tight.
It does get there only goes to 94.
So I guess technically driving could fly.
It's gonna stay the explosives are there.
And we're still very low to get money.
It's gonna finally get off the sandwiches
and amazing Parker.
I actually don't even know, this might be crystal.
It does this and this last anchor should be okay.
hacks just barely us we did oh no the last one broke anchor I mean oh that was
serious if he's instant out that he might have been able to pull it back but it
really was that terrain decision at the very end there and even though hacks had
a bit
W-bugs
the axe spoke what oh my gosh
beautiful master very fast wow what a good final match
I mean, what I see a 634 has 634 is crazy. I think sometimes you get like
you know, we've got a loss of lots of times on like what a fast-seed is. I mean, that was incredible.
A 236 sport enter this scene was really only stopped by just the blaze rates not getting the
memo that this was going to be a success. A crazy fast time, a crazy great performance
performance and hacks, and just a phenomenal match overall between two incredibly skilled players.
Yeah, sad to see Steve's go, but shout out to him for his first ever playoffs performance,
very solid performance, and hacks now moving on, continuing his domination, still having that
shot at a repeat title, which nobody has ever done before. That's true. And I mean, not only that
But again, Hax's made top three, six playoffs in a row.
Now is basically there, I mean, is guaranteed into the bronze match game, so has a chance even
if he loses his first match tomorrow of still keeping that.
But obviously, the number one thing on his mind, I'm sure, is trying to repeat.
And now after beating seas, I say, real chance of doing that.
So let's not waste any time.
Let's bring him in here.
the hacks, CIEWE's feeling after a crazy match against these hacks, congratulations on
your victory, you're in the top four for the seventh time in a row, you're going for top
three for the seventh time in a row. How does it feel to make the final day of playoffs once again?
Um, I don't know, it feels weird because I feel like, I don't know, I'm seeing a lot of parallels
between this season and last season. I'm just like, like the fact that I'm in like the same
on in the bracket. There's the bracket of that
on the bottom. I was expecting to play.
Did you see our like in quarter finals last time as well?
Yeah. And it's like, there's just so many parallels.
I don't know. I'm getting like, I like,
look, you get a nervous because it's like,
there's like, I don't know. I got to repeat the,
I don't repeat the plot of last time and win. But that's hard.
I mean, the plot went well for you last season.
So I mean, if it does repeat, that would be nice.
It's how did you enjoy playing these seats here?
I know, especially for fans, it's easy to get attached to this really fast seats.
Are the really fast seats like your favorite to play?
Are those the ones you were most proud of today?
Or was it the more like technical longer seats that you have?
Um, I like the fast seats when I'm with you.
I'm not playing in the house.
It's like dab, I'm crushing, I'm going so fast, I'm getting crazy times.
But it's like genuinely.
They are the worst thing about them is since they're like most of the time so linear, most of the time they're so, so close.
Like I get so stressed out, what it's like you're in the struggle at the same time, and it's like, I don't know.
It's just like such a fascinating, those scenes are the most stressful I can't lie.
So it's like, there's a good at the vibe, you know? This is a good at the vibe.
Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. That makes a lot of sense.
In the first two seeds you did go up to, but there were points in both of them.
I think the first seed was like, you were at behind in the bash and by like 20 seconds.
The second seed, you were behind entering the end by like a minute.
How do you keep your composure in those type of situations?
Do you think your experience really helps you with that?
You maybe like learn along the way to like not let those splits get in your head
or is there anything else that you really try and focus on to just kind of keep your own game
as like the forefront in your mind?
I think I think I'm good at like refreshing before you see.
like I don't think about the last year when I go into the next one, but it's like, it definitely depends.
Because I think on C2, the one that sees is like, way ahead of me. It's like, I was trying to,
I knew I was behind and I was trying to save pace and I think I definitely got like pretty
flustered trying to save the pace. Because I made some like pretty bad plays and made some like
mistakes, but I don't know for the most part, it's just like, I just try not to think about it too
too much because like you're worrying about like what happens if I lose that it's like that
the tracks from thinking about the game and you're going to play work so you just have to like
you just have to like stay focused like feel like um and that's something I I think it is
definitely as a trial and error thing like so people will get it into the where they're just like
okay I'm locked in but like for me it definitely took a while where it's like I don't play a bunch
or for I feel like I really understand it um it is still like a really hard though it's something
I'm like not a good feeling to lose a seat.
It's never like nice.
I don't know, I think I've gotten better at it
and I think I've gotten better,
I just like play consistent.
No, it's very valid.
Parker, you got like the reps in, you know,
you've been in these positions a lot,
so that's good to hear.
No, I don't think I have anything else.
It was a treat to watch it, but it was a really great
back and forth match in a lot of ways.
Last thing I'll say to get you out of here,
I mean, you're gonna play the winner of
AquaCord Skycrab.
I don't remember who is you. I think, where's it? You like a couple of seasons ago that was like putting
hexes on like the opponents that you might place. There was someone doing that.
I don't know if you want to put a hex trick or something anyone or kind of what's your
vibe going into that matchup where you might play someone. Oh, I don't know if I need to pick
up a hexes. Oh, but, but like, I don't know. I'm like a lie. Skycrub is really good. I get
like, I get like a lot of stuff. I don't know. I think I'll sacrifice that. And he actually plays
I was like, he's more of a right player than a be it and I was like, I love he felt like, like, like, I didn't
go play it more.
Like, is this all he plays like eight hours of art year when I'm ready?
So play for a right fit me.
So, I don't know.
Sarah, I'm a scary.
Of course, I also really good know as well.
Like, I'm a courtist for a seat or something.
Definitely really good.
But I don't know.
So I'm just happy I got to, to last thing.
I think like, I really don't care about whether or not I get on, I get top three. I only care about
making the final plan. I can't lie. So I'm going to have a lot I've waited for my final name.
That's W. Well, congratulations. W Media training worked on you.
Congrats on the win and we'll see you tomorrow where you could potentially be the first ever
repeat champion. I'm sure we'll talk more about that if you win. So congrats, and we'll see you tomorrow.
Thank you. Thank you. Amazing. Well, it's always good to hear hacks in the booth. That was a fun interview and Parker.
We got another crazy matchup coming right up.
Do you want to talk to someone who's one class of four?
We got dogile, who is a crowd favorite, a tournament favorite in this, you know, matchup here.
Um, Blazeman, a new player's competitor played really well beat monkey who I think that was maybe a surprise to some people also Australian playing it like I don't know what time it is over there like three four AM for him going into this matchup. So that'll be pretty crazy.
I mean, any early predictions, any anything you want to say here to start off, do you go versus Blazeman?
Blaze mine?
Do I have versus Blaze mine?
I mean, I'm a fan of the Steve skin.
What can I say?
We set out two Steve skins and it,
Blaze mine was looking really good last time.
But I know both players are both scared of each other.
We've heard Blaze mine say it.
I'm scared of Duke.
Duke has also said I'm scared of Blaze mine.
I think the stats definitely favor Duke.
But I think Blaze mine will definitely get a seat, though.
I'm not sure.
I want to leak too much of the script.
Whoa, you're already talking about that.
I mean, I was gonna say like I've been watching I try to watch a lot of the play up the pedestals because like I
I'm gonna commentate them like I want to see how they play and everything and like normally
I don't really get the time to watch blaze mine normally because again because I'll straighten time zones, whatever
Like I got my own job. I'm busy
But I'm watching some of his vods the dude can crank Parker like I don't know you've been watching blaze that the guy is legit like his mechanics are crazy
see, I think Dugarly is such a hard player to categorize because he's just good at everything,
right? Like he's mechanically gifted. We also think about the game in such a clear picture.
And I think Blazeman is kind of like a very similar archetype, or at least getting to that point.
I think, obviously, he said in his interview, like his main thing is his mechanics, but
I really like from watching him, like, he's approach to the game is very ancient as well. I think
it's going to be a really good match between a veteran and someone who has played speeder in
for a while to be sure, but not a veteran in the playoffs scene. I totally agree. I think they
have very similar play styles, but it really is the story of like a veteran versus a new
camera. You know, sort of like our last see or our last matchup between hacks and steas. This
time we got do and blaze mind. Yeah. No, we'll see if it goes any different. I mean, it's it's going to be
it's going to be interesting. I think I'll put a spread out there because I don't have the script. So I'll
I'll put a spread out there.
I think you guys are gonna win.
Now, I don't think BlazeMind is gonna use the re-hour
anything, but I think my spread for this matchup
is gonna be three, two.
But I know speculation, let's sort of over to some stats.
Let's see what's going on here between these two players.
We got through Gile, 636 Best Rank Time, BlazeMind,
618 Best Rank Time, four of these guys I've heard
sub at nine of 40.
Now, I don't know if this is sure not,
and also the wind loss of our opponent,
that's crazy to do Gile.
Does Duke have the best average in the tournament?
A 920 average marker is ridiculous.
Like that is just crazy.
I would be very surprised if there was a faster one.
I'm honestly surprised it's 920.
I thought it was hovering like 924.
And if he has a 919, like,
I was really interested to do it.
Everybody drop at like the last couple of days.
I swear, all these players had like mid 920s.
And now, the 919, anyways, anyways, sorry.
Don't mean to detract.
But these are very impressive stats here.
I think it's pretty crazy.
I mean, BlazeMind, again, new to this.
So don't have as much,
it doesn't have as much a platyrian.
But we could see in his stats,
one, the Australian New Zealand playoffs winner,
that's not like, that's a pretty big hoos, who,
like, we have a lot of players who have won
a plate in playoffs or LCQ,
or obviously like BlazeMind, Mungi, Super C, Eric.
Like, there's a lot of Australian New Zealand runners
that are very impressive.
So winning that in a tournament format
shows that Blazeman can keep his composure,
keep his cool, but due to a two-time playoff winner,
I mean, former R.C. World Record holder.
The guy has been around.
He is maybe the best all around player in this tournament,
and I'm just excited to see how he match up
in the seed department as well.
What's going on here?
70% buried treasure in the man.
And I remember this last weekend, Parker.
Eight, 50 ruined portal for do it like,
are we serious?
We win.
What is that about?
whenever I see an A on the average times, I'm like, is that the stick here? How are these
players so good? But these are the best players in the world, you're right. That looks
really scary. Even though Blaze Mine has insane stats, only one seed type that is average
above 10 minutes. Dudes, I think every single one of Dudes splits, it's just better than
Blaze Mine's. Yeah, just this. It's just that stuff. I mean, it's really hard to, when you compare
to do guys, it's really hard to have a split that's better,
but what you can say that's very impressive
is that they are comparable.
There's nothing here where I'm thinking like,
oh, blaze mine's just blaze mine's just,
there's no way blaze mine's going to go,
like absolutely blaze mine's going to win this.
We see this every single match.
Like, Steve's BVDCR, we've seen other upsets,
like blaze mine deserves to be here.
Anything can happen.
That's where we play these games.
Like, I'm very curious to see how this match is going to go.
I think Ruin Portal is really the sea type of them.
I hope neither van it, they don't think,
let's go, Ash, do that.
You're gonna pick it to Star Sparker.
Yeah, we go from one room in Portal,
there's a 630, we go right into another one, baby.
Yeah, potentially, we'll see if this is any faster.
You know, we're not guaranteed a beautiful seat
like the last one, but room Portal seats are usually fast.
I mean, we saw them two steps.
We should expect a sub 9 here at the very least.
9, 8, 50, 80, 30's absurd.
I think the low keys as well was at 8, 24,
or just like, yeah, like just mind numbing stats.
So like when these players get room portal,
you know they just want to push it to the lid
because like, I know ranked is about like
consistency and like plain smart and all that things.
But like at the end of day worth speed running, right?
Like do go has a lot of composure,
but I'm sure he sees a room portal.
See sometimes it's like, okay,
like I just want to go as fast as I possibly can.
Like just just a little.
You know what I mean?
Like, so yeah, I hope they have the mindset of class.
I think they do.
I think especially from seeing how fun it is.
I'm really excited to see it.
It is notable that do the band very treasure
because I feel like so many of these top orders now
really like very treasure maybe he's scared of something he's seen from blaze mine
or maybe he himself is just not really feeling it wants to stay with kind of the
seed types that are kind of a little bit more rhyme with each other.
Desert Temple was very unique compared to the other seed types I would say.
Yeah, I think I remember hearing I'm like a silver vod dude just really analyzing the
stats kind of just picking whatever he thinks looks the best.
But we're into the seed now, Curry looks pretty solid.
I mean, we have chicken sear that we can kill.
Unfortunately, no iron pick to start off, but both managing to kill these chicken
before they swim into the water or anything.
So that's nice to see.
Yeah, we're going to see here.
Gold Axe is really nice.
No reason at all for shears with that iron.
You're going to save it, try and get even though like a vast and chest is guaranteed
that three iron you can still get other chest with less iron or you know, having that 21
nuggets to start is going to be really, really nice.
It's going to see like these players in deciding how they're going to grab their wood.
Dugal has such an advantage here, one less chicken, but I really like how he managed the trees
to get the wood types that he wanted instead of, well, you don't have a three different wood types
that is even to where you do get just as a pole. Oh, oh, oh, yeah, just the rea to start here.
The train here is a little bit awkward. Not only neither runner has a gold pick or anything like that,
so having to use a wood pick here for Dugal could be a little bit awkward. The seed definitely
not as pretty as the room portal seed that we just played.
Yeah, both kind of making their way through the surveying past the lava. I think Duke
may be taking it a little bit more linearly, but Blaze might not too far behind. I think
did lose a good few seconds getting that extra chicken, having a slightly worse line to all of
his trees, but maybe has slightly more wood than Duke. It's hard to tell especially with the
three different wood types. Yeah, I have no idea. I think the first wood is just like hiding
in the background right now and like we just have like all the other
see. Yeah. Yeah.
Well, it's having to mind some,
another rack compared to Blazeman who was just continuing to crank
doing the math and I had seven plus five as well plus six is 18. So if
did have more wood entering the dugout, so that's 21 wood total. That's seven
beds. Probably you have to use like one block or something to get around this.
So probably we'll have like six beds worth of stuff, which is still great.
like obviously good for zero,
due to still utilizing a wood pick so much
more than Blaze Mine, who hasn't even crafted one.
You know what I mean?
This is really interesting place down there.
Yeah.
I was thinking I like Blaze Mine's position
but it's just because he's been like faster to
and just what I, oh my gosh.
In the mouchic, that's not so good.
I'm not happy.
Not a fun start.
And because this terrain getting back
is not really forgiving.
This is gonna be a second for Blaze mine here.
Do you guys already starting triple to gap
from the middle rampart?
I mean, that's, this is a second scene of row
where immediately someone dies in the first seat.
That's tough.
And look at this, I've never seen this order
of blocks broken from do-go.
I've never really seen this gap paired with the beast
salival.
I kinda like that route though, but you're totally right.
Blaze mind, I mean, you have to get a pick here.
You have to get a boat to navigate all the way back
to the bastion so that loses you a little bit more time.
And you haven't even started your trading hole
or anything too, so you're not going to have gold overlapping.
This is just raw time loss from Blaze mind here.
You're just going to have to hope something really bad
happened to Duke or he can just play lights out.
I mean, Duke is checking for where the for is.
He's got a scan.
The terrain looks pretty good in that direction as well.
He still has that two chicken curry.
Like has dude even taken any damage yet.
So I thought you meant like chicken curry like the food chicken.
I was like, I was like, I was like,
I was like, wait, what's happening now?
But that makes a lot of sense.
The two chicken here is nice.
But also you have like, you have stables, right?
Like if you want to get food like Khello Hoglin,
you're at a crimson too.
You had like, there's so many things
where like if the food management really became a problem,
like I think it's gonna be okay.
On Lucky Chesia for Blaze Mine 2,
gets like sure that eight irons great the six obviously great for you need
armor you need a piece of destruction gold at the least gets completely
oh my god actually use the empty
the all back up rings and we still have no gold the piglins might have
traded it I'm not sure he's gonna have something here does get the
chestplate so it's gonna be okay there but I mean on the other side there's
the fortress for do guy were in it sub 4 10 and I do guys plan lights out here
this is the consistency that we come to know from do guy oh yeah the
Consistency is a great point here. I mean, even though Blazine has made it back like he had to place the all be he's having to do different things
And he's row he's taken I think even more damage than Duke and he's been in here a second time
Waiting for these piglins and Duke has just got his blaze bit off and it just so commandingly in the lead here
Yeah similar
Stable stuff from
Blazine here barely gets the block off to live
But again, this is all just a secondary.
What do you guys do?
And already at this point,
or already has a blaze, but it out,
clearly in the fire, has the blaze.
It's lowered our DEI guests probably for a gas.
I'm not exactly sure, but not sure why we
have to prolong anything.
So I'm assuming gas, already three rods.
And I mean, blaze might did find the obvi chest.
But I mean, pretty tough to come back again,
someone like do go.
Yeah, I mean, just very technical gameplay.
Look how clean, dukes inventory is.
not only has he pre-crafted everything,
it feels like four empty slots.
He's thrown out, all of the stuff that doesn't need.
Look at that portal build, very standard from Dugile.
And he probably isn't even feeling the pressure here either.
And so that's gonna be putting him in a better position
mentally, perhaps where he's thinking,
you know, I got this, I just gotta play my game here
as long as I don't make a major mistake.
I should be winning the seed.
Throwing a pro, this is a really low eye,
but gets it just in time.
And I mean, he's got eight rods, curried.
I mean, eight eyes.
Like, eight eyes are very close to leaving.
I mean, you just know your opponent hasn't been in the fortress, right?
This is exactly what you're talking about.
Like, there's no reason to do anything risky.
There's no reason to try and, you know,
force something or try something crazy.
I mean, you're ahead by a lot.
You know, you're ahead by a lot.
And you're just ready to go, basically.
Already, raising render, going to second portal courts,
has everything you need is a little bit lower
than he might like.
I just realized, no food, two hearts.
I mean, should be fine, obviously has done this hundreds
of thousands of times before in the same similar situation.
So just has to be a little bit careful here.
As long as you go across as his T's,
dots as eyes should be fine getting to the portal here.
And that is quite the build I must say,
and then into the stronghold.
Yeah, and Blaze might now in the fore trust,
but look at this, only on one heart.
So he's gonna be trying to get his first raw here
through a hungry set in the overall, oh my gosh, he's now in half
are, please do not go out of full sand.
And the place falls on him here.
Oh, over.
I mean, he's got to kind of do that though, Rayleigh.
You're just behind by so much.
It's so scary.
You're just in this weird spot standing as far away as you can.
I'm sure he doesn't get hit.
But a blaze can basically spawn in like five seconds from now.
Do those in the end, a really weird pro clip because of the terrain.
But hits it very cleanly.
Organizes his hop bar, his whole inventory is ready to go.
A little bit of a weird pro.
but should still be fine to get to 99 here,
actually gonna be a little bit close,
but should make it, yeah,
has the time half a rotation to spare plenty of explosives.
And unless we see something crazy,
do-guile will be winning the first CD against Blaze Mine.
And it's very nice confidence booster.
I mean, that was not the cleanest room portal parker,
and it's still sub-eight here.
Yeah, I mean, I guess that's what we were saying, huh?
Well, I mean, Blaze Mine just hungry
sending so far up behind, very solid game play from Dugile,
love to see it, and see me, seven, 42 completion.
Oh, it doesn't matter at all, but I just,
just the icing on the cake there for Blaze.
My goes down, tries to pick up his eye,
picks up a piece of stringed,
didn't realize it wasn't the eye.
Oh, that's crazy.
That's, that's tragic, that actually mattered.
But you can see here, you can find this blue where Blaze
might die.
It's a little bit soft.
It's hard to make up time in that type of situation,
Especially like, sometimes you will forget like,
not only do you lose time that died in the course,
but like, then having a reorganizer whole hop bar.
And like, just like getting over the fluster,
it's just so difficult to really make a time
and end those kind of circumstances.
So, please mind, I mean, we talked,
we heard Hock's talk about it in the interview.
Like, trying to go into the next seed with a clear mind is so important.
Please mind, you gotta find that right now.
Yes, goldfish memory, you don't want to be spending time talking about it.
I think I remember, maybe it was in a hacks interview,
But sort of the same position on like last season grand finals when infi loses the seed
He's talking in chat about what he's done wrong hacks like I'm just trying to think about the next seat
And out of people who won it was hacks, you know the person not thinking about the previous seat
I think that's a very important thing to remember here
And Blaze might as well he does a lot of practice. He's a good rank player so I think I think he can he can pull it back
We just need to see no death from him in the next seat. I mean he made up time I think by having more wood
I don't know, here's to see how the next one will go.
It's definitely gonna be interesting, like,
can you go, keep it up like it,
cause today it gonna be the day where like,
we had a lot of nice stories in that first weekend,
but not having haters are coming through,
like yeah, steas is out now,
like, blaze my mic at out now,
is that gonna be the story?
Or is blaze my mic at a fight for the little guys here?
I mean, it's crazy to say that, blaze my mic,
like the tendency, like, really good at background.
But like, I just hard to like,
you gotta have that much and it's new,
where, you know, anything can happen,
do you like, run it back, shipwreck,
see what we can do here. I like this pick from Blaze Mine. Let's go to the ocean.
Let's go to the farthest thing possible for my room portal and try and run it back.
Try and run it back or sweat it back. I guess try to swim through a good
magner of being potentially get one that do doesn't spawn and then you save a couple of seconds.
Maybe that's the time save you're hoping for it.
Good to have a lot of variation in like things like food and iron count though.
It can always be a little bit awkward. It is definitely going to be a little bit
offer this thing to keep in mind for shipbrecht. See, it's just the kind of variants that can happen
in the specific overworld portion of it. And also the food to be getting golden carrots. We're
getting rotten flesh. We'll see, shipbrecht pretty close. The island does have trees. It's right
side up, but it's warm ocean. So we definitely want to be aware of grabbing a gravel and if this
ravine right next to the boat is real, I'm looking for the bubble particles on dug-all screen. I
see them on blaze mine. That is a phenomenal food chest parker. Seven bread, seven carrots and a
TNT for good measure, but the iron leaves a lot to be desired, but it's a little bit annoying.
Yeah, a little bit. So you'll probably have to punch a tree to detonate your TNT.
It looks very nice. Interesting that Blaze Mine didn't grab the stew. Probably doesn't matter a whole lot
because you can even make golden carrots in the bastion to have extra gold and you have so much bread.
Yeah, absolutely. I don't love the TNT spot there from Blaze Mine. I think hesitated a little bit
and just wanted to get it down, looking for the wood counts here.
We see A for Blaze Mine 11 for Duga.
Both are going to expose stone,
going to crap.
I'm presuming a stone ax here.
Blaze Mine a little bit ahead on the crafting,
but I think Duga, oh, Duga's actually going to make a wood ax.
I find really interesting.
I guess I'm going to just play for crafting later in the bastion.
I think makes a lot of sense, especially because the difference
here really Parker is,
Duga doesn't have to grab anymore wood,
where a season, because the season, season,
Blaze Mine, because the TNC wasn't that great,
doesn't want to grab a little bit more wood and it's going to make a stone
accident you just that.
It's a non-appointing.
I totally agree.
I think that's the major difference.
It's just so interesting just having the better TNT allows you to like run
with that that wouldn't act because you don't need to mine your
cracking table.
So very microtime saves here and Duke is in with not an insanely, but maybe
struggling to decide where to go here with the terrain.
He decides to go left.
Let's see, blaze line decides to do the same thing and he does slightly
faster, potentially handling the terrain a little bit smoother, but Duke's still at,
Duke is ahead.
I think Blazeman took a little bit higher terrain that makes a little bit of this
time up.
Only behind by three or four seconds here, it isn't going to be a housing, but we're
going to be able to enter in the top ramparts, you some type of top down route here, plenty
of blocks from the TNC, which is really nice.
But again, a little bit of difference in the terrain, Duke, I'm going all the way up to the
top while Blazeman is on the side here.
with the piglins. Maybe he sees a little bit lower to render to two because saw a gas, which is a great play,
great heads up maneuver, gets five of city in in this first chest. Gonna have a little bit of a tough time getting to this other triple,
especially with the gas there. And it's gonna build up just to buy himself a little bit. It's time maybe he'll up a little bit before going.
Isn't gonna do that? Oh my god, just knee, hard sparker. And if he's gonna punch him in. And his own tour,
he in a so-called value like, well, all this is happening in a skeleton could have easily just spawned down here or something.
Very scary is not going to get punished though. It's going to be okay. And again, about three to four seconds behind do go I'll in a very scary moment.
But yeah, not only is he behind by a couple seconds, though, but also I think the major
difference is just the health management the food management. It's something we were seeing even in the last match. You know, these veteran players potentially
managing the health better, managing the mom's a little bit better, and these
newer, maybe speedy or players are taking just a little bit more damage, and it
could better, especially on a fashion as fast as housing, where you don't have a
ton of time to regen properly enough. The fortress is far having that extra
health can really matter. But I guess we do have golden carrots. Blaze might as
be me, dropping golden carrots here, so that's going to help the situation out
lot. Yeah, saving that gold for the golden carrots is going to be big. Do
You don't have the stray pigland, which is annoying to deal with what actually actually
gets to take in care of here, organizing his inventory, blaze mine now doing the same.
They don't believe we saw a fortress for either runner, but I haven't seen either pie chart
yet.
So maybe they did see it just out of our view with the bit rate, but we'll see here,
Iron Axe gets crafted for due, Iron Sword gets crafted on the other side, for blaze mine.
Well, do you actually doesn't have a sword?
That could matter a little bit towards the end of the blaze rod kills.
looking at the inventory for both runners here and we could see again in the
player inventory a bunch of explosives a bunch of pearls these runners have
everything they need to leave and do go throw it a pearl out sees not too far
behind but leaving from different spots parker they're in completely different
spots right now and do go see the ports yeah I think it's just the knowledge of oh
maybe it's different for this I think it's just a room portal it was just a
room portal, maybe got baited slightly there, but I think it was just the knowledge of
quadrants.
Duke looked out the direction that Blazeman and left and said, no, I'm going back
into the bastion.
So I can leave out the back side because potentially he knew that it was this
quadrant that now, Blazeman is getting to.
And Blazeman is just lost so much time on a few years.
Yeah, that was just that was tried.
I mean, did lower render a little bit earlier, so can potentially get some
It's not a race race, only got one.
It's that one spawner has a couple in the distance.
But the thing with strays that a lot of top runners realize at this point is sure
they can be like, okay, if they're like bundled up and everything.
But we have to really chase playing for strays.
It can be difficult because you just really want to have the time to pre-crap
get the rest of your inventory set up for the rest of the run.
So I keep saying, Steve, please mind, please mind is playing right now.
Please mind, yes.
Please mind is, please mind is, please mind.
like he's seen the strays in the background and I think it's just not really worth it to go
because playing at the squatters is just so much more than to overlap everything else that he needs.
Yeah, I mean I guess the faster you can overlap and the faster precursor you have maybe there's more
of an argument for it, but by the way, is my mistypping just a little bit, maybe we're seeing
some nerve potentially this portal build looks solid, but it's still still so ahead here on five
I've got five rods, only needs one more.
Blaze mine's still trying to catch up now on five.
But is just that raw, and her 20 seconds behind,
he still needs measure as eyes.
Dude, having to throw two here, so wait,
yeah, wait a lot of time, and it's a little bit
picking them up, if see, oh my god,
I'm going to lose my mind.
Blaze mine picks up this raw,
and it's 100% and you don't understand.
Fix up the eye, leave it, or let it get in.
Is fully back in.
Dude, that does get the sixth rod though.
And Blaseman has the blazes right here, gets it as well.
So as you can be leaving,
may have a ton of time, I mean, Parker,
Blaseman was literally 30 seconds
to just go in the wrong way,
and it's not right out of space,
half a heart's dude.
Oh my gosh,
but does he have the same gold picks that Duke does?
I don't think so,
so Duke's gonna be making it more time here,
and even though he lost time on that measuring split,
he's going to be entering the stronghold right now,
Blaseman left behind in the dust,
even though it looked like he was making up time,
dude, looks like potentially a spike bottom right?
No, doesn't like it, pushing mid.
Does he like this spike to the back, right?
He does.
There's only one path that goes this direction.
Is it exposed here?
No, this could get a little bit scary
if the corner room is not here.
It's not gonna be this spike might be fine.
It's like, it's like, well, it doesn't really
get spikes.
It looks like, really, forcing this aggressively
compared to do go.
And here's so much, I think, I think this is it?
No.
something. No, he wants to go this way, both players in the same sort of position. Duke now
mining the same blocks that Blaze Mind was, maybe also hearing the silver fish really pushing
through this wall. He knows he didn't see that entire bottom left quadrant, so really forcing a mine
here and it's back in an awkward position, but I think this is going to be the portal room
and Duke should be entering the end first year. There's the end and still no portal room for
or blaze-mind, two guys gonna enter the end,
I mean, that, that, I feel like blaze-mind
had to hear something.
I mean, for the audience, we can't hear anything.
We have no audience.
So, how is she looking at something?
It seemed like blaze-mind was really happy
with something, but doesn't force it.
Builds up for the zero has plenty of time,
and two guys can close it out here,
and be up to, oh again.
Yeah, for a certain reason,
let's see what she's gonna do.
Oh my gosh, that's a clean, two people,
didn't even have to like double bow or anything. Yeah, that was that was crazy.
Please, it's not a little getting the chance to enter the end. Wow. I mean for a second
that I thought Blitzman was going to dig into the portal room. I think I really thought
it through. I'm really looking to see where he ends up going in spectator here when this game ends.
I want to see where it is. Did he hear it? No, it's not even here. Oh, it was above
him behind. That's an awkward spot to get to. I'm curious if maybe he didn't hear it. I'm not
I'm not exactly sure what happened there, but do not able to close it out gets up to
O in the series and similar situation in the last match where Laze-Mine, the underdog of this
match I would have to say is down to a staring elimination in the face from the final day.
Yeah, we'll see if you can take a match back, or in the same fashion that Steve did, but
do, looking very solid, very consistent with his gameplay, all green splits on his end.
lost a little bit of time, potentially, to measuring eyes.
He still was just ahead on every single split.
Crazy, crazy, crazy stuff here.
Do go up to, oh, hasn't changed to close it out.
We only have one seed type left partner.
So even though it's Blaze Mine's pick,
it's not really a pick.
What do you try and do in this situation?
Like, do you just, do you focus on maybe the negative of,
like, I entered the fort way later
because I made a silly 30 second mistake.
If I just don't do that next time and have a consistent nav,
like I can win this on in this,
is that how you have to look at it,
like, oh, I focus on the mistake,
or do you just fully block it out and say,
I leave it care, I'm just gonna play,
how I would play and hopefully the best one
to the next scene.
I think it's the fully block it out, play,
you know, just forget about those last two seeds.
Yes, you're down to, but it's not like you should be
approaching any individual seed easier than another one.
This is fly off your plant when every single time.
It's a village here, if you're gonna take the food,
I think you just block it out,
lock in with your own gameplay,
and hope that you can take the win over dude.
Absolutely.
We're going to village,
the only pick left before the seed bands get lifted,
but to get to that point,
Laysman's gonna have to win.
Gonna have to figure something out.
Gonna have to dig deep here.
To keep the playoff dreams alive.
Knocked out his own fellow Australian in the round of 16,
I want to try and move on against two guys here. We'll see how it goes going into seed three in this matchup.
I like the good luck. I'm glad everyone still does that. Here we go.
Blacksmith, Plains Village, pretty standard here. We'll see what we get. Oh my god.
Oh my apples! Oh my god.
And the famous words of the president pound cake, doctors are going to be terrified of this.
Softers.
What are two apples?
Oh, God, even more.
That's even grab.
I know.
Now it's a little awkward like, do you grab the bread?
I mean, I guess you have six breads.
It doesn't really matter.
But like, even though you have so much food,
it's not the highest quality at food.
You can kind of just chuck it through whenever.
I know, do you guys from like watching
and talking to him like, he doesn't really like
grabbing food in chess.
Like he'll grab bread, but he won't grab anything else.
It's very rare that he's gonna grab apples or something like that because it's just like like maybe he'll grab some, but like the variance play
I'm surprised he's doing it in place. Maybe this is something that's changed with him. I used to vividly remember him just like not grabbing
So curious if that's changed, maybe you want to play it for like golden carrots, but earth golden apples, but I know Duke has been very
Intentional about what he keeps in his inventory a lot of the time. So interesting to see maybe that playstyle changing a bit here in playoffs
True, true, true, true. I think Duke has spotted a lava pool for himself.
You can be able to get the Flint from this river. No, maybe he doesn't.
Maybe just looking for Flint.
Blaze mine may be making up some time here taking a totally different line.
But, potentially, sees a lava pool that Duke doesn't.
And I think Blaze mine is going to be entering big. First, Curry.
Yeah, that's really big. I mean, the thing here to note is, well, like, Duke has less apples,
but has more of the better food. Also, Duke does find a different
Loveable, but this one is really awkward with the sand kind of falling into it. It's always you've got to be careful because it could fall
Barely oh my god. This is really weird. I think it's gonna be okay, but this is not what you want to see
in a close-out match
potentially for yourself here
Gonna be able to finish it up make sure he's able to enter the Nether, but blaze mine in the driver seat on a seat. He desperately needs to be on
And it looks like it's housing, blaze my pushing all the way to the top, maybe we see
dude play a man hunt here, not sure what these players are looking for.
I think blaze mine is potentially confused thinking this is stable.
Yeah, maybe he's turned around.
I thought it was housing as well.
It is.
I thought it was stable as on his end, I guess, but it's going to be okay here.
It's going to aggravate the piglins, just by seeing him, going to break this just wholly
you have a city and not going to get punished at all for not checking the single chest
there.
Do not taking way different terrain gets up here a little bit quicker, but please
want to just with such a commanding lead that is still going to have a 10, 15 second
advantage here.
Yeah, and as we saw where the fortress is, maybe not as much time to make up on that
end.
Maybe that maybe the difference in food doesn't matter as much.
We probably aren't going to need to get back up,
so do anything funky.
We got 11, I'll be very solid to your housing,
it's going to be a fast route.
It's really, really quick here.
I especially not having a pirate for that fortress
like we're talking about like seeing that right
up the rip there is going to be so nice for the pace.
And another really cool thing about villages
is you already have your beds crafted, right?
Like you don't have to worry about.
We're recrapting that at all.
You're kind of set up to go.
You're probably only going to worry about recrapting a sword
if you want to go for that.
The apples are the thing to watch out for food wise.
Do go. So it has 13 bread.
Blaze mine, the sight and to eat apples now almost treating it like a rotten flesh thing
normally what you want to do in seeds is eat your worst food when you're not curling. So
he's doing that eating the apples while he's just kind of sitting around doing nothing and then
saving the bread for later on in the seed. But only six is a little bit annoying if he ever takes
a huge amount of damage. Do go way less concerned about that having the 13 bread.
Yeah, and both players also have the option the craft golden carrots if you need to so potentially
Maybe saving a bit more gold. I think blaze mine kept enough for a golden apple is now going to be purling out
Gonna be in the fortress first and do have some trouble with these piglins here
Please not in the forks
19 hobby for due god leaves one more probably gonna get a hero in check trades 22. I'll be
21 pearls gets another pro straight at the last moment is gonna leave here. Let's see how the pearl hang is it's incredible
Right on the four but three straight from blaze mine and I think I see two spawners Parker
This could be really quick here.
Yeah, I mean do get a one-in-one position
I mean you have to heal up, but it's not the fastest lays mind has this blaze bed off
Beautiful drag looking from blaze mind here
Yeah, has the spawner fully cleared out do you go just getting that point now?
But also very low still like has to get this bread off was still a one shot at but blaze just spawn right
on him, which is always scary and can happen when building out from the spawner like this.
So, knows that that's a possibility.
Standing far away, basically just making sure that he's not going to be able to get hit here.
So, watching the spawner making sure that doesn't happen.
But Blaze Mind doesn't have to worry about that.
Has the rods already up to two now.
These rates seem a bit slow.
But while that's happening, has the time to organize anything you want to.
It's pre-crafted up.
Gets the eyes of endocractic and gets another four spawner blazes in the meantime.
Yeah, that was really interesting from Duke. They're looking to play very
conservatively literally just waiting for five or 10 seconds for those
blazes spawn. Could have spent time pre-crafting. Maybe blazes mine. The more
aggressive playstyle here is making up even more time on Duke here or measuring
in a glacier. What does it look like? Gonna have to throw another eye. But one
offset looks like three digits. It could be very close and it is 200 miles away.
way, this is only a hundred block hurl away in the
other, has to get one more blazer on, but has blazes sitting
here, oh no, I think I actually quite a lot more blazer.
I am very wrong, has to get a lot more blazer on, but with
it being so close, it's going to be really nice.
It does live, does a quick pause to make sure that he's going to be
okay, 200 block one is going to be really nice, do go.
I'm going to have a very similar situation there and
blaze on just a chugging away with these apples, clearing the
fire, has everything you need to be the game.
Once again, just kind of a spot where we are just waiting on the blazes to cooperate
literally at all.
Yeah, it's literally just a waiting game.
I mean, we saw a little bit of waiting in the last seat.
These players are so fast with a pre-crafting that they have nothing to do.
I like seeing blaze-mind break the portal.
The portal blocks do give off a light level and so breaking that allows for more
blazes to spawn.
And it looks like blaze-mind potentially even looking for a pearl hang when it's
only a handful of blocks away. Maybe not. How many more
rods is the need? Two more rods. One more rod. If this
drops, he's going to be out. But no, yes, oh, he is.
No, he is. Oh, yeah, pros out here. That's going to be too far.
You don't have to, we have bridge it back. It's so close. Do
go looking for maybe a spot to Pearl Hang or just kind of like
think about where to Pearl to. Ladies and gentlemen, double
checking chords has the time to do go still waiting on just
One more rod is it this blaze it is I think Duke is ready to leave pros down to a different spot
Little bit off here should be pretty close
Having a little bit of trouble in the lava blaze mine meanwhile in the stronghold
Looking down double staircase library
Not the room and this is just giving to go time to crank up portal parker and all of a sudden they're in the same splits
Yeah, this is getting Duke time to make it up will see if Duke goes top right here as well
Well, if he goes down mid, that's going to be his advantage, or if he even goes a different direction.
He's not going to go where Blitzmine has gone.
So potentially makes it time here.
Oh, by chest, alter chest.
Is this a portal room?
No, it's library.
They both have to dig out what is happening.
There's so many chests in the hallway.
I miss.
Yeah, I don't know.
I still don't know.
That was crazy.
Still trying to get any.
Like this is where Blitzmine had already been on due到 street.
Another pathway.
This is a different point for Blitzmine.
Doesn't get it.
these both these letters running around the stronghold like a part of it.
But there it is, replace mine can do, I'll find it and do it.
This is a big play actually, Parker.
Blaze might not hug a resetting.
It's going to eat through the portal, but that's not going to give them enough to fully
region. So it's going to have to eat again.
If this is back, it's going to be really weird.
Fast to region a lot.
You're going to throw a pearl here is going to get enough health
probably to be fine here.
words is chill. Also has apples in the inventory is going to have just enough time to get to 95
a really nice set up and do us the loss of the stronghold. Blaze mine has a chance here
a nice arrow. One more battle do it. And Blaze might have say not yet survives. Now down
two to one in this matchups of our crazy matchup. Yeah, do really still just loss in that stronghold.
But a very clean zero from Blazemind loved to see him still in the tournament and it was
always even the big difference maker on this T-T, or was it just entering the Nether and
then Blazemind just sort of kept that lead.
And then it was just pretty much like the great really made a tough thing you could see
do you enter the Nether 20 seconds slower Blazemind did get a little bit of like a lead back
mainly because due to having a tough time getting to the exact coordinates for the stronghold,
but Blaze might have an 26 second advantage entering the stronghold into finally finding the
portal where more dudes could not get a really weird stronghold. So many chests look like potentially
a mine shaft as well, just not really anything that was looking great there and Blaze might
be able to capitalize. Yeah, it was interesting. Both of them kind of got baited by a fake spike,
not exactly what it was composed of. Maybe there is a spawner. But all those
ultra-sets, maybe making some weird
funcing this on your scans.
Crazy, crazy, crazy.
Crazy for sure.
And we are going to be heading over
to full them for a quick analysis to see
what the heck was going on.
Obviously we missed something.
So full them.
Show us what's going on.
What do you got for us?
Beautiful.
Wow, after the third seat, it is two plays one
dugout in the driving seat, but losing that lost seat.
And Recrap asked a beautiful question
as that seat finished.
he asked where did Blazeman gain his time?
Or alternatively, where do you go lose his time?
What was the difference maker in that seed?
And now I don't know what exactly the difference was,
of course, Blazeman did enter the net a little bit earlier,
but I did wanna bring up one small point here.
Just one.
And that is this.
Do well, double Blazeman at the spawner
after getting to the spawner slightly behind,
getting to the spawner ever so slightly later
than Blazeman.
But watch this as we go.
of course he kills this with a skeleton here,
this stray with a skeleton he takes a little bit of time,
waste a tiny bit of time there, but notice,
kills this place, did you see that it dropped the rod?
I don't, I don't, I'm cutting not able to pause it perfectly.
Here we go, you can see the rod just out of the corner
of the particles just here.
The rod indeed was dropped here,
but notice, Assyborg's over,
no into fire achievement.
He has no room in his inventory.
And now this is quite ironic
because at the very start of the seed,
Korea was talking about how decisive and intentional
do-go-all was with exactly everything that's in his inventory.
But right now, his inventory is entirely full.
And as he places these blaze beds,
he does not pick up the rod.
As you can see, it's still in the floor.
And as soon as he blaze beds this first one,
that blaze rod explodes.
And he notices, but he notices too late
as you can see him flick around,
try and go back to pick up that rod.
but it was too late.
So one rod of duegiles burned, meaning,
duegiles had to say for one extra cycle,
kill one extra blaze at the end,
letting him leave to the stronghold later than blaze-mind.
And that is probably where the extra 10 or 15 seconds
comes in from off to the bastion,
and that could have helped blaze-mind win the seed.
But without any further ado,
it is still to one to duegile,
and it is still anyone's game.
I'm gonna send you guys back to Curian Recrap right now.
W analysis from full of there. We totally did not see that over watching that in the booth here
And we're like, oh my god, no way
I mean, what are the story? Don't grab apples. I actually don't know. Maybe do blaze my needle a lot of apples that run
So grab the apples would be aware of what's in your inventory. That's yeah, don't blow the blaze rounds. That's so interesting
I mean, we can really see these like tiny micro mistakes like not having an empty slot in your inventory compound into a 10 or 15 second
loss and and that could have been the seed for do love me now.
Thanks. Thank you for. Thank you for as always, but now we're in a the exact same spot as we were last
seed like packs one of the or nasty excuse me last match.
Hacks won the first two against these.
Steve's one game three and then Hacks is like, yeah, that's cute. Six thari room portal.
What is do I'm going to do this time? Like maybe it's going to be like a pretty treasure
pink and we go in somewhere else. Yeah. There it is. There it is.
I'll do as good. Yeah, nice. Good job. It's time for me to win three one. Is that gonna be the case? Or is
Lace my gonna say, hey, let's take it to a seed. Five. And then it's really anyone's game when we get there. So this is this is the seed of this match. Really of today. So far.
Yeah, well, we'll see if a cinema comes out of this. I'm hoping for, you know, I'm always hoping for an
enter into the same time and it comes down to zero.
I would love to see some of that very treasure.
I mean, we got some high quality, high quality seed in coming.
Absolutely, I'm excited to see very treasure always.
I'm very curious that Blaze-mind-banded.
I guess, like, obviously due to God's experience from RSC,
but like, so many people do as well.
And it's just such a, I guess to me, as someone who doesn't play rank,
like, it just seems like a very consistent seed type.
So maybe Blaze-mind was trying to focus maybe less
in the consistency and more on just like aggression,
where this is just having all that food
is just gonna be really nice for these runners,
but it is only gonna be five cod parker,
two diamonds, you do get a CNC though,
so diamond sword, gold ax play here
is most like what we're gonna see.
Yeah, pretty solid seed,
play some on having a little bit of trouble finding the baritros,
so losing a second or two here,
we'll see if you can make up any time
on finding this ravine, both crafting seems to be
on point the main decision making is gonna be
where these two players leading for their lava.
We are gonna be in here from dude.
That's not the ravine.
Blaze mine getting flint on the surface.
And really cool, chocolate.
Slavy-fasten.
Do you kinda like this ravine better?
Yeah, dude, doesn't like this.
Blaze mine's going down, has bubbles.
That's huge, Parker.
This is already could be game in the first 30 seconds
to be honest.
This is a huge advantage for a blaze mine here.
Yeah, it's still on a plane.
These little, it doesn't matter.
This is at least a 20 second advantage here.
Do you guys still have to get the gravel.
Also has an iron shovel instead of gold.
I really didn't like the gold shovel play from blaze mine,
but obviously makes it work here
and the bashings here.
I mean, again, 22nd lead here for blaze mine.
I don't think we've seen the portrait sheet.
I could have missed it, but we saw last time
You've got to play the housing really well as well.
So could be a little bit of room to make up some time here.
Yeah, both are probably going to be playing top down here.
You like getting this chest.
You could potentially look for the fortress
to maybe get better visibility.
I think I saw the fort on Blaze Mine's screen.
We haven't seen either of them do a wide Mac or so.
I can only presume that that was the fortress
and they both seen it.
They both seem pretty confident and like,
okay, I'm just focusing on the right here.
Don't need to worry about looking where this fortress is.
We have six obsidian from this first chest here.
The program is going to be the last scene as well.
I mean, we're going to be at the trading hole.
Like, 210 for blaze mine.
This is this is quick.
We'll see how many piglins both runners get.
Actually, we can see that many from blaze mine
is going to toggle the hard because I guess
wasn't too thrilled with the amount of piglins.
Maybe think some got stuck somewhere.
You'd see that happen sometimes for runners.
So maybe get some more there.
But looks like actually a sizeable amount more for Duke,
I'm not exactly sure why, but very curious here at the start.
Yeah, potentially some micro talking hard mode,
maybe a block or two, the penguins are getting stuck up on,
maybe one player minded, the other didn't.
Looks like Blaze Mine is hiring.
So I guess didn't see the fortress
that we saw due to a wide macro for on the way down.
So it shouldn't be a crazy complex way to leave the bash
and I think it was just straight out forward.
We get even more of a city in from that double chest.
So not gonna be having to worry about backups, probably.
And we have that diamond sword too,
which I love to see for place splits.
Yeah, the diamond sword is gonna be great.
I mean, we could see place lines of interest pretty much ready
to go.
I think just once a little bit more,
especially now sure, yeah, we're leaving.
And I was like, what do we, what else do we need?
We're good to go, we're leaving.
We're already pie chart, pie chart,
for this boner, does crazy drag click there to get the boat down.
Now, a little bit of an awkward spot,
but it's gonna be leaving.
still haven't seen the fort, there it is.
And as I head again, by 10 15 seconds or so,
Dougal, in lava, that's going to be a really tough spot
for him because he's not able to get a great pearl off
and blaze mine is in the fort with the diamond sword.
Yeah, a little bit awkward there.
Do you just didn't have any regular blocks on his hot bar?
So couldn't clutch on the side,
missed his jump a little bit,
so maybe losing a little bit of time there,
taking similar-ish pearls,
And you're really looking for a better one here trying to find the spawner, but
Blaze Mind is at the spawner.
We have the TNT.
We have a bet so it's going to be TNT plus bet to clear out instead of two bets.
Yeah, has the TNT set up for Blaze Mind.
Do you go at the spawner now?
I think they are at different spawners, which should be that big of a deal, but
definitely something to keep note of if the stronghold businesses are weird.
Now, this is a very open end.
So it really only become a thing if for some reason
the strongholds are not being different,
but should be probably standard here.
The pre-crafts going off for Blaze Mine
has room for gold pickaxes as well,
a ton of space, and has the blazes down for more here.
I mean, Dugail is playing okay, but the time loss,
but that's the opening for Dugail.
I love you, saw it.
Blaze Mine had fire on the spawner.
Maybe loss the spawner to there
and might have to wait an extra cycle,
but already a seven rod.
So ignore everything I'm saying, these blaze rates are crazy.
Splaves rates are crazy.
It's going to be a sub-five blind.
So this is a fast seed.
You've maybe losing it but it's time to try and deal with a stray wither skeleton on
worse health as well.
You've also, heaven now, but there's not the pre-crafts off yet.
And another blue jungle curry.
200 blocks.
See, why is blaze blind picking up the eye?
You have seven rods.
Really?
It's high-wash there and has plenty of pearls.
I'm not quite sure why we did that.
Yeah, could have been way more punishing
if the stronghold was further,
but because it's so close,
he's literally just one pearl here.
And maybe it's honestly a time save.
He doesn't need to throw an extra pearl.
The hungry set is in the portal.
Maybe you really pushed against the wall here, though.
Just now a split behind as Blaze finds,
looking for spike desperately.
And Parker, again, this is fast.
This is sub seven-hase.
If blazing, I can find the portal from here.
Doesn't love this spike, but sees the portal room
has one pro for a hunger reset here.
Get some bed down, get's the pearl down.
This will be entering the end, or the end excuse me,
sub six.
And this will be, this will be part of this game five.
Do you know getting a spike now, but it comes
up to blazing on this zero.
It's hard.
It's going to be hard.
Getting top one over three here is going to be hard
because the pro is not great.
Has the time plenty of time.
Wow, what a great setup from Blazeman.
Maybe it looks so easy.
Few all gifts, a whole new reset down,
but as long as Blazeman finishes up here,
some great beds, plenty of explosives Parker,
we're going to a game five
in our second match of the day.
Wow, very clean zero there from Blazeman,
yet to do an aggressive pearl to get to a set up in time,
showing off the mechanics there,
even after an optimal pearl.
And that's a sum seven.
Actually, I actually cannot believe he made top set up there. Actually cannot believe he made top set up there
That was like a 94 pearl 95
That was a local one on top 103 the tallest tower in the game plays mine every split just shipping away at the lead more and more and more
And if you're a due-gile
You're gonna be scared. That was a really clean performance from plays mine on your seat pit
100%
Yeah, I don't think you'd be the kind of person they got complacent after winning two in a row, but
Scott it's got to be getting a little stressful now
Fight up two two or when's this next one is gonna be moving on our first
Game five of the day we've had a lot of game five season correct
We've been we've been very spoiled last season. We actually got so cuck last season
We've been very very spoiled this season, which is great to see but I mean the thing is like
Like, do-guile has been in this spot probably calisines.
Like, I can't remember how many gamefives has been in the top of my head.
But there's obviously been in the situation before.
It has played so much playoff.
So if anyone can come back from this, it's going to be do-guile.
Yeah, it has a lot of experience.
It's again that story of the veteran versus the newcomer.
Who's going to come out on top?
We saw a veteran move on and our last matchup is the same thing going to happen here.
We're going to see what's the sea type.
I actually really curious what this suit pick is gonna be.
It's gonna be Desert Temple.
And, two with this, I've been beach chess move.
Besides, last seat, I picked your seat, man.
This seat, I'm picking my own ban.
And, that kind of make sense.
He lost in the last one.
So, it's really a win on this one.
Throw your opponent off guard.
We got a whole overall tour.
Wait, did I need to sign on a name of this?
What, child, what?
Oh, World War.
World War.
Oh, World War.
Oh, it's beautiful.
That's a good name.
I like it. You just out there looking out for the fans wants to utilize the overworld tour. Is that what it is? There's a world tour.
I think it's just one tour. I think World Tour is clear. I think World Tour is clear. I mean, a reverse sweep against due God would be crazy impressive.
But again, for due God to keep his composure and make it to get another final day would be crazy. There's great storylines for both of these players. And we'll have to see who comes out on top here.
It really really could be anyone. That's why we play the games. I know a lot of people probably had due
God just going through this, but Blaze Mine is a force right now.
See how it's forced to be reckoned with. You know, and if I remember from his match against EDCR,
he managed to love who a little bit better. So maybe we'll see a similar thing happen here.
Don't see a long fool just yet, but we have a river, trees are potentially a little bit far away.
Both going to be mining the single block of sand to get into the temple just a little bit faster.
Yeah, absolutely.
Don't see a lot of people like grab an extra piece of sand to like negate the full damage as much anymore like blaze mind just in.
So, curious to see that coming out, and two bells going to get the TNT off first, looks like seven iron in the temple.
Doesn't I don't think we have like diamonds or anything fancy.
I didn't see any gravel.
I didn't maybe they got them, but I didn't see any.
So, they do have the river here, which is going to be really nice.
haven't seen the lava pool, but both these runners
also a golden apple, a two golden apples,
excuse me.
So food not gonna be really an issue here as well.
Oh, there was, but they both missed the gravel.
So you have some eagle eyes there, Parker.
Thank you.
Honestly, it might be better to just save
over lacking, getting the gravel like in the river
because it's just like on the way to your trees
on your way to the lava pool instead of like having to
stay back down in the temple.
I mean, there's a lava pool here for both of them.
So I'd be surprised if one of them missed it, I like a little bit awkward from
you having the backtrack to get his water, but I keep the line over all just was better.
And it looks like Blaze Mine has missed the lava pool entire.
Oh, and most of them is water.
That is the desert.
I mean, this is here.
This is a disaster for Blaze Mine fans here.
That was how the level would have just farther, this is going to be a 15 second advantage
for duegile here.
Yeah, maybe potentially forcing a lava pool that you see early in the seeding, okay?
That's where my interest is going to be, but if there's a better one like what duegile
found, it's not looking good for Blazeman.
No, messing up the portal as well.
So there's going to be a little bit awkward duegile doesn't have the vash and on a screen
yet.
So maybe we could see something where the terrain really comes into play.
boat clutch from him curious to see what Blazeman really decides as the terrain here goes way lower.
This is a very different decision. I love how we've seen boat clots has become so much more implemented.
Oh, I think this speed running, Jack looking scary from Blazeman here on the lava.
But Duke is going to be in where is he entering that? This is from, right?
This is great for that. Yeah, this is really weird, but does end up working out.
Now, it has the chance even to the temple, so we'll be able to low off this chalice very cleanly.
I have everything you want to do done.
Ground table down, pick blocks of the goal to get it into the inventory.
That was incredibly phenomenal micro from Dugile there.
Oh, my gosh, he's on to it.
He's on to it.
He's on too hard.
Remember, he has two gapples, besides the E1, really smart from Dugile.
We saw it, he's deciding not to eat the better food in a very similar spot.
In a previous match, do you have to make it not the same mistake here is going to live at the cost of a gap.
Yeah, I think I think it's definitely worth it, but a little bit awkward. It doesn't feel good to be taking so many hits, especially so early in a bastion route, but he's healing up well, but potentially giving blaze mind time to make up.
doing the same round as Duke here.
Oh, that's the law.
Quite expensive.
Oh, no.
There's so many piglins that are mad.
He's on two and a half.
This is scary tournament life on the line day four on the line gets the golden apple
off.
Gonna break the block.
Do you got what's such an advantage right now.
The piglin counts are probably going to be similar.
There's a ruin portal here as well.
I don't think it's going to matter.
But the auto funnel for blaze mine might get some more piglins.
This room portal is not going to make a big difference for either runner.
And Parker, it's going to come down to the piring for the fortress and terrain to get there.
We haven't seen it yet.
No, not yet.
Duke now getting the direction that negative x is their good terrain out this way.
There's some terrain.
This is going to be purling.
This is an obvious, this is an obvious little slow.
Maybe Duke I'll just doesn't have as many pays.
I mean, seems like he has a lot still on 18 has the gold or the stone store pre-crafted.
Lays mine doesn't does not have the sword pre-crafted yet up to 17.
Obviously also still waiting, but due guys leaving doesn't see the fort yet.
Paralympic or if he doesn't see it here to his right, he's going to have to force this new quadrant through this lava.
This is really up here and there's just a salt way in this direction.
You're on low health.
I mean, you don't have to have a bar here.
Blaze mine maybe is Blaze mine going to take the same train that
you did or really trying to force a wrap around.
This is just really awkward.
I think I think I was making the right play.
I think the fortress is here.
Like I haven't focused too much on quadrants and it is.
We see it on dugout stream.
Amazing terrain decisions from dugout.
Did it look the prettiest note?
But it got him exactly where he needed to be.
Ways mind eating the second golden apple now.
And I think he's just going too far forward, but Lens,
directly on the fortress, the bad part, though.
So do those in a way better spot, but doesn't see the squander either.
It's just going to depend on who finds the squander first.
And both runners, again, very low.
There's the squander for you, Gile.
Oh my gosh, it's a place.
Oh my gosh, it's a skill that's going to skill it's in the skill that's going to
just want a hard worker.
You think he gets shot again?
So scary.
It's a good one.
Oh, oh my god.
really just fighting for his life there and now this is so bad getting to the
fortress. We had to cross an entire lava ocean. It's not even like resetting
this. I don't know what he's going to do, Curry. How do you get back to the
fortress? It's so far there's a lava ocean in the way. Maybe you get
a blast. It's like pearl trades from the bashing. I just don't know.
That is just an absolute catastrophe for blaze mine.
It was in a spot to really bring it back there.
But pearls, skeleton in like the worst spot ever gets knocked off,
gets hit two more times afterwards to die.
Just the worst possible outcome.
And do you guys not a care in the world, able to pre-craft,
no, she's probably in the driver's seat,
see because he's going to recognize that there's no
anti-fire achievement. I'm sure soon. Yeah, keep
your eye and blaze mine. He's really just going to be
in the back rooms for that couple of minutes. I think
I don't know. I know the shot by another skeleton. Oh,
my gosh, takes two hits there. You can only afford a
handful more hits. I mean, this is this is really not
looking good for blaze mine. I don't we're going to have
to see a mega throw from do go. I think as he's now
measuring eyes, only needs one more rod, has to throw two eyes, but it knows he has
the time Parker, he already checked, he knows, it knows he has no, no, it's a fire.
Yeah, I mean, I guess there's more terrain than I thought here for Blaze Mind, he's going
to have to really force this upper train, I think it'll probably wrap around, but it's just
going to take so long to get back to where all of his items were, he has low blocks here,
not the greatest hell he's literally doing per core on all of these islands like only thirteen
blocks left. I don't know maybe this is better than fully resetting the seat. It's just so
hard to get back to it. It's a little boat clutch. It's not ours. It's just on his way to this
round hole. I mean I think it happened with Ron Flush and you know low fire as like do
god does not have a fire as right now. So that is scary. True. But it's pretty much at,
I don't know what that's out of fire as I don't know why I just can't see it's okay
Is it gonna be heading to the court's very close at this point?
Lays mind
I mean got back to your relatively well. I mean this might be the most work of woodpeg access put in in a playoff scene before
I'm gonna be honest and really just fighting for every inch here to get closer back to the stuff
And thanks a bunch of damage, which should be okay again, do you know just thinking down here assuming this nav is not disastrous
to go, should have a pretty clear path here.
In a crazy set that ends in this game five with the blaze mind deck.
Yeah, keep your eye on Duke's screen. What's the nav like does he get a spike?
He gets a spike.
Or what's like a fierce like down mid.
Don't fall over there.
What's crazy. Natural trap, brother.
Is this, oh wow, is the port of above him?
I need to get into the door.
interesting, maybe some weird thing here, digging up for it in the
portal room, is it to be totally okay, plays mine getting close back to
this stuff, but do doesn't be able to hungry set here, nose, he's ahead by a
ton, and should be able to go for either of a zero or play it safe here,
close out this match, it's open, a pretty good amount of explosives, and it's
It's probably decided, yeah, you know what?
Yeah, don't need to do that.
I think I like display.
I mean, you kind of know your two and a half to head here.
So it just shouldn't matter.
Don't even want to risk it.
It looked like a tall tower
and back, maybe after you live weird side stuff.
Now he's just gonna get a nice, I guess not full half
bow off, but she's done a couple of crystals.
So now it's just a waiting game period.
I feel like it's been a while since we've seen
just like somebody waiting for a perch.
It's pretty rare.
I mean, do go has like five or six explosives or so,
Blaze mine does have all this stuff back,
but it's not really gonna matter
if this dragon just decides to perch
and do go making the very smart business decision here.
To potentially have a chance at $3,000
tomorrow in first place or any split of the 5,000
that we get in a way.
So do go really, I mean,
I'm sure we'll talk about more with him in the interview,
But I think it was a really good showcase of just kind of
how he approaches the seeds as a veteran in this tournament.
This Tom Cool collected and saved you to the end here.
Yeah, Com Kong collected are great words to use here.
I think we've seen a lot more like,
maybe not like holding yourself back,
but kind of just playing for like more of a just safety plays
and we've seen a payoff for these veteran runners.
And I was like, do you guys know?
Oh, miss red the hurts though.
Doesn't matter at all.
Just, oh, absolutely from Dugal.
Just hanging out.
Just a dog with some pants in the end to mention, no biggie.
Just some dog with some pants.
That's all.
He's just hanging out.
He's just chilling.
Ladies and gentlemen, building the portal now.
I mean, unless Dugal somehow messes up a six bed,
I think it's gonna be,
it's a pretty open and short case.
But hey, props to Blaze Mine, you've got to always play.
You never know.
You've got to always play, I mean, there's a lot of dragons
with Neera, but it's just now dissolving.
So it shouldn't be an issue.
Do you kind of just tracing this dragon
on it down with his hunter like eyes?
Yeah, it's like a very intimidating.
Like I would be scared.
Yeah, that's just a lone dog in the end
with a whole bunch of beds against this dragon.
Well, I mean, this is a long perch.
your play is mind you won't a max person I think this is basically a max
person. This is the case in a max person. That should be it. Your guaranteed a
perch after three minutes and right. That'll do it. We'll see how this one
cycle goes. But again, do you guys on this literally probably tens of thousands of
times should be pretty okay here and do that we'll be making it to another final day
in ranked playoffs. We haven't really touched on it too much Parker but
the low key one seasons two, four and six.
Do you got one seasons five and seven?
And this is nine is that trying to get a continue
where two of the best players are just keep winning
on and off.
I mean, maximum definitely not something to say about.
Blaze mine tried to have something to say about it.
One of them really impressive performance.
And it could not be overstated.
Parker, I know we both have like a grand possible schedule.
I can't imagine waking up at like 3.30 a.m.
And it's like, okay, now you're playing right
class gets to do that. So, mad props to Blaze Mine for showing up, performing with a situation
and the circumstances might not be the easiest. Great point, great point. We love seeing all these
players show up. We couldn't do without them or come into a watch them. So, thank you Blaze Mine
for showing up and congrats to Doug for moving on. That was a great point. Yeah, I mean, again,
after C2, it really looked like, you know, Doug, I was running away with everything. Blaze Mine
really brought it back. I thought the momentum had totally changed. I thought Blaze
went play incredibly well, but at the end of the match it's going to be due
guys. So let's bring him in here. Let's talk to the man himself, the dog, himself
after a very impressive vibe game win. Do you go? I don't know how many final days
you've made it, but it's definitely not your first. How does it feel to be back? Final
day of playoffs. You've made top four once again. Yeah, it feels really good.
I didn't make final four last season, but like the last three seasons before that I did.
So I was feeling shaky though, like I'm not going to lie.
Okay, I feel like I just tied the first scene really well.
The second scene I played, like, okay.
And then like one play, I started winning.
I started getting so nervous.
And you could probably tell I'm like, I was just like,
I was just losing so much time on micro and stuff.
And like I just like when he died in the last seed I just like I was like okay I can finally relax and I like I was so stressed
Yeah, we were there watching that like I think seed for really did feel like like a crazy momentum ship
I mean we were looking at the splits like he entered you know 10 15 seconds ahead of you
But then made up another like 10 or so second so like it does it adds up that you were like a little scared of that and then you know to come out with the win
it's really, really impressive.
And I think what we were talking about is,
like, do you think, like, obviously, it helps.
Like, how much does it help really,
that you've played in so many playoffs for situations like this?
Or, you know, with what you're saying,
like, you were still nervous.
Do you think you would have been more nervous?
Or, how does it kind of play in so many kind of effect that?
Yeah, I mean, I'm not gonna lie.
Like, I still get the same nerves
that I like kind of always had for play.
I was like, it hasn't gotten much better.
Maybe it's gotten a little better,
but I still get nervous for every match.
So I mean, I've learned how to deal with my nerves better,
but there's no play-offs match where I'm not nervous beforehand.
Yeah.
On that last seed, I really like,
you just like play for half-boat, not even like attempting
a zero, what sort of like the threshold in your mind?
Like at what point do you decide, okay?
I don't even need to go for a zero here,
but it's mind is so far behind.
like pay attention to the advancements a law is there any sort of like
fear in the back of your mind they're like oh maybe I shouldn't have done that
maybe he could make up if I have like a max perch like what would the whole
pop process like yeah I mean max perch is three minutes right and Blaisnan
hasn't even gotten into fire yet so like in theory he could like do a
fort and finish in under three minutes and I could get a max perch which like
kind of almost did happen but um you start like I just slow on likely yeah yeah
And I did kind of start to regret not zeroing after like two minutes. I'm gonna still don't have a purchase.
Yeah, we saw you like rolling on like, and then like the dragon like one and eight.
It didn't end up going like, well, that's that's tough.
I mean, even the best players mystery they're first sometimes.
It's okay.
Yeah, it's just looking.
It is silly. It is silly.
Okay, so you are playing, you have now the privilege of, I think, correct me from wrong.
winner of infium versus Loki. So that's fun.
Yeah, you have about 24 hours to prep for that. Maybe a little bit less.
How do you prepare for a match like that?
Are you really rooting for one person you want to go up against?
Or are you kind of just, would you approach each player kind of the same way?
Yeah, I don't know. I mean, obviously like infium and Loki are both very good.
And something else is that either way, if Nfium beats Loki, then that's going to be a confidence
boost for him.
If Loki beats Nfium, that's also going to be a confidence boost for him.
Either way, I'm getting someone here like, probably has a big confidence boost.
I don't know.
If I were to take, I'd probably rather face Loki because I've faced him before I've
before I beat him before, like, in my opinion, in Fiumn,
like, in Fiumn, EDCR are, like, the two best players
right now, like, and they'll be give their own.
So, like, I don't want to face either,
but if I could choose, like, out of the other, face Loki.
Make sense. Parker, you got anything else?
No, I don't think so.
I mean, congrats, like, even having some nerves,
like, you still won, moving on to the final day,
like, that's something to be proud of, and I'm
excited to see a play tomorrow.
So, good luck.
Thank you. Thank you. Congrats to good luck.
Do it for our matches that we're compensating huge props to do,
Guile, really impressive job from do Guile and all our runners today.
I mean, hacks, seas, blaze mine. A lot of great close matches.
And it's cool to see do get hacks moving on.
Put up next. We have Aqua cord first guy crab like I said,
we're going to be heading out of here before we do that.
Let's take a look at the bracket. So you see get the idea.
what's going on here. Tomorrow will be semi-finals, third place match, and grand finals,
where top three will be walking away with a combined prize pool of $5,000. Those semi-finals matches.
If you win that, your guaranteed second place, that's guaranteed $1500 if you win your semi-finals match.
So, Hacks is there. Do you guys, is there? We have AquaCourt's Guidecrab up next, and then
infium low key after that. Parker, what do you think of when you look at this background? What
What stands out to you that's remaining?
In view Loki, I mean, you could easily picture these two
in a grand finals and their meeting up in quarterfiles
and then they're playing Duke next,
like this bottom bracket is kind of like insane.
No, like in-game Loki, Duke God.
Those are such big names in the space.
I think it's gonna be a good match.
We have in-game who got second place last season
get to be hungry to win his first.
So I'll see if we can do it.
Absolutely.
And before we head to an animation, we have a really fun
innovation for you and I am really excited to give a little bit of an explainer for this
So really do not go anywhere. I probably see this innovation video is going to be phenomenal
So you just need a little bit of explanation. So that's what I'm here to do
What you're going to watch is a two V2 game of
GasKitball between due-gile and steas versus infium and hacks. Now if you don't know what gas
Basketball is, gasket ball is a mini game.
It is basketball with gasts,
come fan, the creator of the game for Hermitcraft
was kind enough to commentate alongside me
and watch four players who are absolutely
incredible Minecraft people,
take a game created on Hermitcraft
and really push it to the limit.
So I'm really excited.
I've huge shout out to Laura as well for editing this video.
This was a bit of a rush to get done
because we had to organize the schedule circle
when we had to get company and we had to get me in.
I spent like two hours getting a server ready for this.
And I didn't know what I was doing.
It was really scary.
But I think it came out great.
I think you guys are going to really love it.
This is what we want to do with our content with M.C.S.R.
Right.
And I can't thank CUBBAN enough, seriously,
for kind of having a blend between permacrath
and the M.C.S.R. space.
I think this is really cool.
So please enjoy this video in the inner mission.
And when we come back, it'll be fine-berg
and nerdy, compensating for aquacord first backdrop.
We'll see you all very soon.
Simple explanation is it's basketball with guests.
You're going to start up at the top of the platforms of the top and your goal is to get
across to the other side, score either 1, 2, 3 or even 4 points on the opposite side of
the arena.
The game's 8 minutes long, you get snowballs to attract guests.
Once you score, you'll go through the doors and then drop down a bubble column and you
We have to run across the arena and up the bowl columns to get back to the top to make another go.
It's a great day for Gasky Paul.
Grab a snowball and two slow-falling potions.
Gasky Paul starts in five, four, three, two, one.
All right, here we go.
You're underway.
Give any predictions?
I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say blue team is gonna win this one.
Oh, okay.
You got one, Steve.
It's gonna be more than the ground or a hity
Wait, you can punch right away. How did I fall? How did I fall? We have to go back to the call. Oh, do you know going for the punch on interview?
I'm so hot
Dude, oh my god, you actually stole those. Hacks is kind of stuck in the metal here
Oh my god, they're surrounding me. I don't like this
You get in view
If you wins the battle
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, it's killed it
Okay, I'm just gonna pop on the sky. Okay, never mind if you push me on the tissue.
And you have a really high save line right now in Hacks. This looks good for that maybe.
Oh my god, I like, oh I like, go away.
Well, if you say, you can stay.
Cheryl, move!
Let's go three. Let's just go three. Three is going enough.
Just wait for me. Oh wait for the door to close.
Wait for the door.
Okay, I got three. I got three.
Oh, did you see somebody plummeted? Oh, no.
It's not into three.
That's...
Wait...
That's just helping me to do it.
Oh!
Inving us very high up right now.
Do up my young ones.
Come to me!
You guys will come to...
Don't you play some defense here.
Oh!
You coming across.
This is...
Oh, there's gonna be a line for four for in-view, though.
Go away!
Do you got it?
Oh!
You...
That's not my story.
It's my story.
Oh, you can...
Oh, you can I didn't get four four's I can possible to get I got three I got three
Oh my god, there's so many gas surrounding one person in the middle who is this?
Infium is bringing every gas to him in the middle. I
Am I
Sorry, I
Do I don't know what to do I don't know what to do
I
It's okay, just like how yeah, wait this is like
Excuse me, and just go right across
Oh my goodness, it's good
Okay, we're not at that far, we're not here
Hey
I think that's three, I think that's three, I'm sorry
Nice
Okay, we have a six one, maybe you can just play full D-pad for V1
Yeah, I'm just playing full of all of me
You can just yeah, you gotta hold the hands
No, this is honestly a good shot
This is right, it's actually so good
Because you give me such a big half
So you actually don't, you know, you're actually making the
No, you mean this is actually the best place. No, no, just swallowing there. Just hold there. I'm farming so that it's not so good
It taxes just like farming
Is it in you doing again in the middle I
Check this is strange. Usually it just makes a platform and you can just run straight across
The team that's winning usually does 9 on a date. Here we go.
Saturday at the game. Six. Oh, no.
Right at the end. More.
Three.
Gonna be enough though.
One.
Wow.
GG.
31.
28.
Red team is going to take it.
Good.
I scored so many at the end.
I scored like half my points in the last minute.
I'm a team player.
It's like it was kind of a bad idea to do that.
You guys are frauds, by the way.
the way the score you guys are trying to beat when I was on a haircut I got a 125 with someone so you guys
The God
Also into you. I think you to appreciate all the gas names. I don't know if you pick up on that
Oh my god, they've can't just park her in here. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh sweet bill. He'll kill me.
There are we out there.
Down too.
And blue team.
Block.
Come back.
That's the question.
See something good lying here. Could maybe even, oh no.
Get blocked by the gas.
I don't know if that's true.
Oh, it's a boorie.
I got a one point.
Oh, like I fell in the point.
Oh my god, it's so boosted in the intensity.
Wow, that was crazy. Oh, it's crazy and do go hit the gas the way from hatch there
Oh my gosh, so he fell away down a ball is happening at the bottom
Oh my god, what was that look?
Oh, I'm actually doing this game. Yeah, I was going
Okay, so we need to go back sorry. I got I was really bad just through got me to really good flight
Oh, that's so heavy and I went into three.
Oh, it's dark.
You know what, I'm just going to prove it.
Oh, my god.
Oh!
You, oh, my god.
Do you get me out?
Oh, midair, come midair, battle, let's go.
Oh, my god.
Let me go.
Go.
Oh, why are you blocking me?
I'm curious, dude.
You think there will be a 4 point play in this game?
I think so.
I think do guy could figure it out.
I'm looking at do know.
Maybe even here potentially.
I'm just moving.
And I'm just moving.
I'm just moving.
It's the cause of the
forcing two with honesty just fine
Anyone's game still
Yeah, I'm really noticing do I was just hanging out on the top right now
They have all the guys. What I can't do anything
I'm just one of those like him move so they can't move. Oh my god, no, no, no, no, you
This is what I mean, I may go for something, but again if you have 1,000 gas around him
I'm sure due to island seas are really happy about this and we'll have some choice words for infium after the game
I can't get it again.
Gloley would surely read teams starting to run away with it. 23 to 18 now, 5.0.
But do Nste's both going to get 2 points here and make it a 1 point game.
Here's the bra of the top, DoGile gets bested by Hatch and Hatch gets 3 very quickly.
I should have just not moved. Oh my god, I'm just drooling.
Okay, I don't pray, don't pray, it's okay.
Okay, I'm just not praying.
A lot of height here for a red, is it gonna be a awkward situation for Blue Hacks getting another three points?
I'd be able to get something going on here, do just missing the three, but Steve should get it, and does.
So that's a really big swing that they needed to stay in this game.
It needs to see some deep vents from here.
I'm here for a deep, deep three, it gets denied though, and actually it's not going on.
and if you get enough, go fully!
Wait, I just boosted you.
Yeah, we should be boosted.
Like I have few moves.
Oh, oh my god, they just touched me and barely getting one.
That was actually a good defense.
Yeah, yeah, I was going to get three that punched me.
Wow, that was good.
Why don't you play from the knees?
Oh, I do go.
Is that my three? Can they get the ball?
Oh, he's again, I suppose.
He's a great defense here.
But don't look at that defense.
Oh, he's a nothing.
Wow.
Oh, what the fuck!
Now I decided to do so many points.
But Steve has a line, has a bridge across, it's the two,
or down by five, I don't need another three.
Oh, it's going to be close, dude.
It has to rush across.
I don't think it's going to be enough.
I don't think it's going to make it.
What?
And that's game.
47.
A two-o victory for Hacks and Infium.
No, infium that, you're actually disgusted. You're actually, dude, I won't play the defense.
Oh, great. I wonder if he had so much more of a health so bad. I feel like such an asshole.
Yeah. You guys were just forming us and there was nothing in the past.
Or there's nothing of the life, by the way, nothing of the life.
And you're still only one by two points, by the way.
I love the morning shot. Welcome. Look at his love that in your mission video. Has
crack enough in the food set in that far. Whoa, what can I do? I was gonna
nerdy and I are here for the back half of our quarter final matches nerdy
locking into the booth. We have Aquacord versus Skycrab. I mean, wow, what
am I actually doing what are your thoughts? Yeah, I mean, it's good we've got a, I was
is thinking about this fun, it's like kind of an ocean theme
for this one.
We got aqua versus the crab.
That was, that's my deep analysis.
No, but I think this is going to be a great match.
I mean, these are two players that are, obviously,
I think there's a lot of hype around sky crab,
obviously being more of the RST never been in playoffs.
And it has gotten far already into playoffs.
We'll keep be able to continue that,
or we'll awkward chord, obviously last season,
getting to the third place match, which is very good.
So a good performance last season,
but not quite making it to the very end.
So, I'll call it definitely hoping for a bit of redemption there.
I think it's going to be a good exciting match.
These are two runners that have a lot of hype around them, so I can't wait.
Yeah, let's start over with a player stats already and talk a little bit more about how
these runners match up.
Perfectly even ranked average time, but again, Skycard just has such a low sample size
on these games.
70 games played to aquacords almost 900 not over 900
and that's a situation. Yeah, I mean, there's definitely a bit of experience
that if both with the ranked and general, but also with, uh, you know, playoff's experience.
So that is going to be something to keep an eye on. I will say, I mean, look at that. I mean,
obviously SkyCraft is the RSG guy, but look at aquacord 7245,
that is not, that is not shabby at all. You know what I mean? That's only a couple
little seconds behind SkyCrab. So that's going to lead.
I don't know, maybe top, I don't know, maybe still thought, there's so many people
that I'm like mid sevens now. It's pretty crazy.
That's what I'm in terms of the RSU scene, but I'll look at those seed types stats. I'm
just ready to get into the game play. And again, these are not going to look the best
risk SkyCrab, like in terms of like the accuracy here just because there's such little
sample size. And when you're a player like Aquacourt and you're playing at 2400 ELO for a
majority of your matches versus Skycard,
you're playing 70 games, 45 of those are just
getting up to another right in the first place.
So you're playing Diamond 1, Diamond 2, Diamond 3,
Fires, and so like these winter,
it's a little inflated, right?
So it's not like, oh, Skycard comes
got a better one right on every single seed type.
He should have win this match right?
That's not exactly how it's gonna go.
And I'd like to point out that this season,
although the sample size isn't like the best
because we're not even through the first phase yet
of season 10.
Aquacord has a 926 average,
which averages change every day
because, again, people just have a low sample size stuff.
Like, ECR was at a 934 today,
is at a 929.
Infume goes up and down depending on how you want to use.
But 926 is, I'm pretty sure, top two.
In terms of like, people who have played more than 10 games
in like the top 50, you know.
So, I'll go for this season as a crazy average.
Better than the 957 he had last season.
Yeah, that's it.
You've got to go there and that hasn't played too many games.
Let me check his average to be sure.
His average is 852, which is a whole 30 second faster.
But he only has seven completions counting
towards that 852 aquacords got over 100.
So, it's a little bit of a sample size thing
for Skycrum.
Again, there are people who are, I think Silver has a sub-9
average, but he only has like 10 completions, hacks as alone on average. So they get
a little shaky when you don't have that many completions, because obviously you're
also more important to see it. But speaking of seed types, let's see what these runners
have in store for us. We have the Desert Temple and Barry Treasure Seat Thives getting
banned. Makes sense that Skycraft is going to be banning that Desert Temple. It's really the
one seed type that he doesn't get to play. In our stream, an aquacord, you know, makes sense
So he's banning the BT maybe a sea type that he's comfortable with alone, but what's
how much skycraft, right?
Like, there's no, there's no decision.
I feel like this, I feel like these bands should just be the standard.
When skycraft is in the lobby, like this should just be what the bands are, like, it hasn't
played as a couple's ever, and he always plays BTs.
So you want to get him off the BT and he wants to get himself off the desert and that's
it.
Yeah, well it makes sense there, a room portal picker.
Hopefully, maybe we'll get another super-fasting we saw.
We saw a very fasty earlier today, fine, very,
so I'm hoping for another potentially,
a very fast room portal seed in two games.
We saw that sub-seven from Blazeman
on the very treasure seed as well.
I mean, we got that band today on this match,
but the room portal is still here.
And there, it could be a living dream.
There really could be anything.
It could always be a living three, I agree.
That's the dream.
So, yeah, I'm looking forward to it.
going to be good. Yeah, and I think it's it's crazy story lines going to be
this game, you know, like you said in the aquacor last season, fourth place,
might be the most depressing finish that you can have in class. Like, sure,
it sucks. Wow, we have 85 nine iron. Okay, so I had to like, I'm not used to doing
a math, how do you divide 64 plus 20, like nine iron?
So, ax, pickaxe, yeah, that's just crazy.
And then we have a goal for a shuttle as well.
As well, wow.
What, all of the math's been here from Lockerport,
I feel like SkyCraft immediately getting the crafts off.
So a little bit of an early lead.
Just a couple of seconds there, it's SkyCraft.
I'm making a little chat here.
Here's make sense.
I don't know why just assumed we were going to be making an iron
ax instead of stone ax here,
that makes it a lot more sense. Especially because in this specific, like, big,
root-portal generation, you can see an awkward word screen. There's a gold block up there,
but it's about 12 blocks in the sky, so it's not really worth building all the way up there.
And both these runners are getting some food, even though they have a notch,
while it is very, very impressive food, right? Like, you can go from one heart to 18 with a
notch. It's only giving you two hunger, and the saturation is like worse than one salmon.
So you might just run out of sprint.
Like as a genuine problem, if you're playing the seed like well enough on the notch or
saving to the fort, you can run out of sprint with no other food and like be on
10 hearts. And so I'm getting just these couple extra chicken. Obviously gives a
little bit of leeway. But look at this, Finder, we have a completion off of sort of the
root portal itself for Skycrab saving a couple seconds there again on the awkward
I thought we were going to run a lot of lava as well.
Yeah, yeah, definitely looked like it could have been,
but just barely had enough to get in.
Looks like he doesn't have a lava bucket.
So yeah, maybe he just had one or exactly the amount needed in order to get into the
Nether here, but we do see Skycrab now heading over towards the bash.
I don't see it yet, so hopefully a little bit of a trek here.
They're both going this way though.
So I think it's treasure and the forest of the left,
so shouldn't see either runner, you know, get lost in this terrain.
It's very open, just going to be about how do we scale this basalt, the sole sand is
another way.
Three biomes on the way to one bastion, but SkyCrab here first makes sense, you know,
commandingly in the lead.
And trying to use this terrain to get up, I like that play from SkyCrab, very, very
fast movement is awkward going to do the same.
No, he's going to check this bottom chest and it doesn't generate.
So going for a little bit of a variance play there, it doesn't really work out in
his favor, going to lose him just a little bit more time in the SkyCrab.
getting ready to start this route. It's hit one saw one pig jump off. Let's take note
on aquacord screen. Could be a difference maker in that treasure bastion. You have a
couple of piglins are sort of decided to jump off. I could slow down your trades by a
couple of cycles. That's 12 18 seconds. An aquacord doesn't look like he lost any
pigs directly on the bridge there. But obviously, who knows where they're wandering,
what they're getting their heads stuck on. All that good stuff.
Okay, Rob's lead continues here as we continue throughout this bastion. I don't know. Did you see the four. I didn't I don't have
sign it is. It's two pearls. It's two pearls directly behind. You can see it on Scott. Yeah, there we go. Yeah, I see you know.
So we definitely don't need to put break spawner necessarily unless
Might need to go down there if there's not enough hobby of course, but we don't need to break the spot.
Yeah, I feel like aquacord maybe gained a little bit of time. I'm just mind this go blocks
It's hard to tell. I feel like he was more behind than he was, especially after
moving that one chest. But let's see what the hobby looks like, nerdy. Like you said,
we could have to go bottom treasure. If there's only five hobby and chests, if the trades don't work out,
there's six hobby and that chest and that's it. So Skycrab on seven hobby has to go and
track the trades. Couldn't get 20, but it's not guaranteed. We're on 20. Oh, they're trying to
So there's the rank trades coming in class for us.
Not going to need to go down as aquacord checking
as trades right now on 20.
Obviously, he threw three gold on the ground sky
crap, also keeping three gold aquacord.
Very intentional, intentional about keeping gold
for this gold pick.
We've seen runners try to adopt that more and more.
One gold pick, so crucial, even just compared to zero.
Like the amount of time same, I've
you like, the difference between three, like I guess my point is that one gold pick saves so much
time compared to, you know, like having three, like just saving that three gold, you don't need
like four gold picks to have a crazy crazy impact in the seat, just one gold pick for a very
zero for just a little bit of terrain. I know that chords, but what's that been sort of that
into the split? I don't know what aquacord is waiting for, I guess straight. I was thinking
he's string, yeah. I mean, the string count is a little low. It's got to kind of decided to leave
there a bit potentially early but but there's a
Hello, there's Bonnie right so yeah if the string was low
I don't know what our a crime of city income looks like.
Do you need six crime for each
Resuan anchor doesn't matter how much a glowstone you have but we're getting this glowstone
In excess right now at the spawn I mean he blaze but I'd maybe half of it but there's still so much glowstone just buried around here
That explosive situation should be fine.
So something that you know, maybe Aquicole was trying to play for that variance.
You know, you're a little bit behind.
You're trying to open up the potential of more zeros.
Because Skycracker only has two beds right now, but he's got the glowstone at the spawner.
Spawner that Aquicole notably is not at right now, so he's not going to have this glowstone.
So the explosive count, honestly, in Skycracker's favor, even though Aquicole was weighted longer
on the trades.
Yeah, just tons of crying.
I'm sitting in, so having all that low stone super nice game, those four anchors and two beds.
So not the worst situation at all.
And awkward, like you said, fine, break it.
That was just basically, effectively, raw time loss for him, unfortunately, meaning that.
Now, we see Scott crowd blinding, and with a pretty significant lead at this point.
Yeah, and he hasn't even eaten as much still.
There's so much like weird edge cases happening this seed all at the same time.
The rates are bad.
Scott crowd finally on two rods.
on two rods, once you're going to decide to eat this notch, I mean, surely he's not
going to hunger reset. I'd imagine you eat it soon. I'm just thinking that he's going
to be too low on a hunger, you know, having a sort of natural healing, but I guess it doesn't
really matter when you have a notch, right? Like you just you play out the absorption, maybe
saving it to get to chords. That's got to go to our house.
That was actually interesting. It was the, the, I think it was the 7% split. So it's a good
thing that he measured a second time. I think it was 700 at like 93% or something like that.
So definitely good. He didn't risk it. Alcohol court only. I'm going to measure one.
I mean, this could come down to random, you know, differences in these specific
spawners that they're playing like do these runners decide to start, you know, mining out the side,
the side of the nether act to get that just extra two, three percent chance of one blaze.
Scott Crab is trying to get a pearl hanging off from the spawner to the base at. That look pretty good
But again, I don't know exactly the train these runners have to take they are different spawners, which just makes it a little weird, but it's the same stronghold so
It shouldn't be too too different as
Aquacord is
leaving
How does how is he up on rods?
He's no, he's one of the same spot. How did he?
I don't know. I mean he must have just gotten better drops, I guess. I mean, looks like
Skackham is a little bit, but he's just only a few seconds behind here, but still
you're right, fuck, I mean, I thought once again, I mean, I just thought Skackham was dominating
the sea.
I think Skackham took way better terrain. Look at the cords that he's out right now. He's
30 blocks away. I mean, but he's digging towards aquacord right now. As they're trying to,
you know, match cords in the middle here, but Skackham first to put the Obsidian down. So
Immediately back in his favor once again.
Completely back in here.
We're going to reset. Look at their health.
No, it's not.
The property is one chicken with us, not going to matter.
The spike looks a little too big to be silverfish, but Skycrimes
going to send it.
Let's get a quick look and show.
There's spike.
There's the one.
It's the big spike.
Do the game.
Here's we don't get a result.
So don't need the hunger reset because it has six hearts.
Aqua court will, but it's too little too late.
Can Skycrimes at the 2 plus 4.
This is a hard zero though. Look it's side set up to both
Super low
And that could give let's see if you get hit the side set up here
I mean this is scary. He's committed that he's committed the anchors down right so the stride and flies it's over
Yeah
It's a good double bed. It's gonna wait a rotation on this anchor. Oh, he blew it up by accident
That's what I don't even know.
What?
Break the crystal on flies.
So sky up on a chase down now.
But octopus, is he going to feel pressure to go for the zero?
That'd be a very good.
It's going to be a good direction.
He's in a two-plus three and he's going to send the two-plus three.
What?
He's going to send the two-plus three.
What?
He's going to send the two-plus three.
Oh, my god.
He's going to try to recover me.
He's going to recover me.
I mean with disgusting damage I think you can get this off.
The anchors are gonna happen, the dragon can get really low.
Aquacord, throw the kill the dragon here, but it flies again.
It's not that it breaks the crystals, but the dragon gets too low.
So both of them are now in a wiper duck chase down.
Oh my goodness.
But notably, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
The dragon has saved one anchor because the dragon's really shouldn't pre-place all of the ones that he had,
and he also just had a mixture of anchor to begin with.
So even though aqua was dragons a little bit lower, I don't think he's going to be able to kill the dragon before a perch.
Skycrab hasn't been able to do that, but he has an anchor, and he's got all the towers down.
So I don't know how aqua cord is in a situation where he can win this seed.
Yeah, this is going to be really tight. I don't know. I mean, yeah, it looks like aqua cord.
Purchar Scott.
Yeah, both dragons look very similar to theirs. There's the perch. He doesn't have the anchor set up.
He's going to set it up.
It's interesting that he puts it on the top instead of blowing it up on the ground, but he didn't know that much to where this action kill
An awkward idea. It just has to handle these cage towers. It's too much to handle skycrab. Oh, you can see you won
Wow, very chaotic for a seat
That was hard to track that was that that was a very
Like what did you say the whole seat? I'm like I don't even have an excuse that it's early because it's one cam from me right now
I feel like I could play 12 ranked Steve's on the ladder.
Yeah, and I don't even have half of the variance, half of the decision making that just went into that one seed.
Game one, as well.
I don't know what's got to see.
What do we think felt weird?
How, I don't know.
I don't know.
I still don't know exactly, and maybe we'll need a full analysis of something.
I don't understand how awkward saves so much time on the spawner.
I'm still stuck on that, like that one thing, let alone the entire end split that we saw there with just the most chaotic zeros.
That honestly I feel like we've seen in a few seasons of class. I mean, that was wild
I mean, I think I heard a couple people in Shapsa had strays. I'm a way to the spawner. I guess the last cycle just too slow
But I remember that one anchor, right? Like a skyguard had two plus three then
He wouldn't have had that extra anchor. Maybe the chase down goes a little different
I think Skycrab still had just because, you know, he entered first. They both kind of choke
to zero at the same time, but so he's just kind of a head at clearing those cage towers and all that stuff.
I'm so shocked. Aquacora was at like top 103. Yeah, for the, like, like, back top 103.
I don't even, I don't even know where to stand on that tower. Like, I'll, I'll let you
have a little seeker. I'm never going to try to, I'm never going to try to go to the back top 100.
I don't even know where the blocks go.
We just started going up there.
It's uncharted territory in my head.
And if you didn't slip off like maybe he would have made it.
I will legit.
I just don't have any idea.
I've never even tried to do that.
But OctoCord was confident enough to try.
I'm the two plus three situation and still
went for the save after slipping off almost the whole power.
I wonder if the seal would have been different
if he just didn't go for the zero, right?
Like you just.
True.
That's a good chance.
It's such a weird, like, mental metagame,
like you saw Scott Krugot taking what he didn't kill the dragon.
So do you go for it?
Do you think that flu do you think they messed it up?
Because of low explosives?
Because obviously, the runners are getting the same trades, right?
So I don't know what doesn't know that Scott Krugot is something
closed on on a spawner, but he can at least make an assumption
that he's probably long explosives, because he
is five explosives.
So it's just very, very interesting situation.
And let's start over to the seed picks for C2,
because I just sneeze, and I don't like to do that on camera,
and talking about it, it's gonna be a way.
Oh, that's the worst feeling I'm talking about.
That is the worst.
We do the shipwreck up next year,
so that's gonna be exciting stuff indeed.
Maybe we'll see, I will say the shipwreck's time work.
I like shipwrecks as long as we get nine or more iron.
Like I need the shears in my opinion,
for shipwrecked be good.
Yeah, the shipwreck seeds that are eight iron,
rotten flesh, one stew, and then the stew,
you eat it in the bastion and it has blindness.
You eat it in the fort and it's a weakness.
Like those seeds are like, wow, ranked is not
what I may have a good time.
Or, I mean, I don't think this is gonna happen in ploughs
because we do hand screen the seeds in some way
to tell me how it works because obviously play some of them.
But some seeds on the filter as those who play ranked
might know can have one tree on the island.
And so you play an eight-iron shipwreck.
There's four logs on your island.
You can't even make doors like so.
Hopefully there's shipwreck seed just
has something for us.
All right, TNT in the food chest, carrots in the food chest,
20 iron.
One of the last time, oh, there's a room portal for us
to start it off.
Interesting.
So get some stuff off of that.
Don't need to mind any more.
Let's check it out.
Skycrab heading to the coast first,
but he doesn't see it's figure in this series.
I mean neither does the aquacord,
neither of these runners have yet to see the shipwreck.
Yeah, definitely a bit of a funass.
I got this.
But like I look at that.
Look at how much time losses were aquacord.
This is like on the front left of the island
and they broke the chest.
So Skakar was trying to scan for an aquacord.
Was it?
And maybe as Leiden losing this 10 to 15 seconds already.
You have lots of iron there in the house like you said there's the carrots nice
We can't enter on this room portal monon of lava and no city and anacrym in the room portal
So this is you know what you're standard sort of random seed room portal would look like just some garbage
But we have the ship wreck we have mangrove means the ocean. So there's still be all rights for these runners
But Scott club just so I had I mean look at his hopper. This is so absurd. He's got two axes
is to pick up access shares, gold boots, no blocks,
or bucket, or like, look at this.
I like, at least it is, ZAR.
As absences are.
I was looking like randomly generated.
It's something that you make fun of a survival player
for having, right?
It's like, oh, why does he have eight tools in his hop-up?
But this is the best R-S-G player
to ever resist that, that's the hop-up.
As willing as portal, also I liked to point out
with the Oak Log.
I thought that was really funny.
I think that's just like so bizarre.
Yeah, I don't complain on here.
This is so interesting.
I hope we're able to save a lot of time.
We spawned right on your men on any force top down here.
Alcohol court's gonna spawn right here.
I don't just bow down right away.
Yeah, and not one nice one.
He's supposed to play for the variance.
He's going through it and looking to dry men on,
I would like to send this.
Is there all the advancement for alcohol yet?
As far as I'm aware,
Let's check this chest out here.
Yeah, no lobby for awkward was some manhunt
punished in this situation.
But if it wasn't, you know,
awkward words saves a lot of time here.
But we'll just have to see, nerdy.
Bashing so interesting with split because
awkward could have 30 extra pigments
compared to Skycrab.
You know, even though Skycrab did double triple,
I don't really know how it was pigs could get lost.
But they kind of have a minor to their own.
So we have to wait until we see the bastion exit split.
But Skycrab has no lobby there.
Wait, I think it's just in one of the front man.
Oh, that's so bad for aqua board because he doesn't play with advancements on apparently.
Some people in China were saying that after the last scene, which is why interesting.
He maybe didn't know that Skyperm got taking but not for me again.
So because, Akor doesn't play with advancements.
He has no idea that Skyperm didn't get Abbi.
He's going to just think that Skyperm got Abbi off the top of the bastion.
So Akor is going to have to go all the way up, check all six of those chests, no Abbi.
and then go all the way back down, Skycrab can spend his time
checking all his outside, housing chest, right?
You know, the monkey chest, the second floor chest,
landfroaches, all out there that the hobby could be in.
Alcohol court's gonna lose so much time.
Unless he may be decide to play home portal off of Tenerabbe.
Or we just get 20 different traces.
Yeah, I was gonna say, we'd love to check out the trace
you're right, 18 already for alcohol court.
So we might just not need to worry about alcohol.
So let's go to 20.
20 more times.
won't go. Don't make it really good
point. It's just they happen to get
it when you have it. I try to
collect your analysis. I like
that a lot. Here we are on the
spotter immediately so no issues
there. It's a full spot.
He's going to play a team as well.
I can quit with a little bit of
worse trace. Yeah, he just he
went to the left and then cut
back to the right. Mm-hmm.
Double blaze bed coming out here
for Skycrab. I mean, I feel
I mean, I feel like he just says such a commanding lead on the sea.
This is the better spawner to blaze, but as well,
aquawards going to it, which just makes sense.
But the terrain, sort of the netherac out here,
it's really hard to lose a blaze that opens spawner.
You can lose those blazes if you don't have time to build that soul sand that.
You kind of hit them out of the way.
And aquawards going to go for just the single blaze bed.
Maybe the only is one crafted.
I don't know. I mean, we have nine explosives.
We're both players so much or why he's not going for the double blaze bed.
It shouldn't really matter for this clearance, but maybe he loses the blaze?
I don't know.
And maybe just feeling comfortable with that gold pick just didn't want to maybe
got a little lazier or something, but any other case is trying to say, I don't know that,
yeah, there's a four spot.
So maybe it didn't end up mattering.
Well, let's get to this place.
What is there in the chamber?
Oh, this is 20 seconds at worst, but does this have efficiency?
He has the hobby to recover this situation and you're overlapping the blaze
So this unironically isn't like
This is a pretty good hobby misplaced. Yes, I think it's considered
But for the mental what does it do?
Right if you're skycard you don't want these blazes both drop because then then you fully waste in time
But no any didn't lose a sponnsicle. He lost no time
That is he lost
against from that misplaced. Actually zero seconds.
Wow.
And the slow spawner split. Zero time loss.
We still rare that I'm not being misplaced like that.
Actually as a zero time loss, let's you just have 30.
I mean, even the bank is like, it's still these time loss,
usually. So that there you go.
Yeah, you can rebuild another portal all there is basically nothing
you can do to like help overlap. I mean, I guess you could get a
perling off. Maybe it doesn't have time to perling. Yeah, because the
play Sponsor in hell, but guess the Rodney goes so literally lost almost no time, but
aquacord somehow. Yeah, I guess just like spot a cycle, not exactly. I thought he was
pre-crafted. Maybe he's not pre-crafted. I think he is, though, some lower terrain from
Skycrafts sending but aquacord higher above chords. So this is good course for aquacord.
He is about 20 blocks away and gonna be building tomorrow first.
I'll be down first, right?
It's so close.
Wild, yeah, both building the portal and no,
but no, Scott got just a few seconds behind like you said,
find her again, here we are, six, 35.
Well, that's a really good spike, though,
for aquacord not loving that, but he likes the top right.
Scott comes in to go, he's not up mid.
Yeah, yeah, this is interesting.
There's light source made up.
It's metal. Wow.
And he's only some golden carrot on five hearts, but it's open and he's got four
blunt to spare. So the fact he's on one hundred years, he's going to matter as he
feels so much from the golden carrot anyways. And compared to last season zero nerdy,
this is like level one in the tutorial back. Yeah. We have nine questions last
see, back one, two, plus three sky crab should be very, very free, not even going for
the double bed here. Good discipline, you know, don't want to make any random mistakes,
arrow goes through the dragon stuff to get awkward. He knows it doesn't need to push the
time, awkward, just now in the end and that sky crab up too early. That was, that was again,
And another great seed back in fourth, ultimately it did come down to the nap and I don't
know that's a very impressive stuff from Scott Cobb taking a two-old lead again, Skyrim's
first ever playoffs and might be headed to the final day farmer.
I mean, what a story.
Like we have to finish because we have tradition match, right?
Yeah.
He's not there yet.
But I record fourth place last season, gets the final day and everyone on the final
they get to play two games, right?
Cause we have that third place match.
And only one of the four players lose his twice.
And unfortunately, for last season, that was awkward.
You're the only player in the entire player's bracket
that gets to lose twice.
You have the massive privilege to be two,
one game away from getting money twice,
and lose twice.
And so, yes, they get four, right?
There are a lot of people that got ninth,
they're like, you know, in the bottom eight,
but it doesn't feel good, you know?
I mean, I can't speak from experience.
I've never been there, but I can't imagine it feels great.
So you know, lose semi-finals match,
lose out, I'm $1,500.
Then right away I have to go play third place match,
lose out on five to your bucks, and in fourth,
you don't get the trophy on your little profile.
It doesn't get them more or less in the website
with your name on the, what is it called,
like the podium forever.
So awkward, how that happened to him last season.
He was our luckiest unlucky player in Skycraft now.
how stopping him from getting back to that final day.
Oh, right now, dirty.
I mean, what a game.
Yeah, it's not looking great for awkward,
but I mean, I do feel like you said it to be any of this.
I mean, awkward with one of the best averages
in the sort of aggregate of, you know,
a decent amount of matches.
I personally feel like it's not over.
You know, I don't wanna get, I don't wanna,
I don't wanna get ahead of ourselves here.
Like, awkward court is a very scary opponent.
I feel like even if you're SkyCrab, it's not going to be an easy win necessarily.
Obviously, there's a good chance you just have to win one of the next three, but
I mean, of course, the dangerous player. If you can lock back in, you know, shift the momentum in this favor.
I don't know. I don't want to under underestimate awkward, you're a fiber.
Yeah, I feel like he's been saving so much time in both of those fortresses, right?
The splits that we've seen in just SkyCrab, pretty ahead of them, and it sort of evens up
as they're going to courts and both seeds. So we're actually going to call on full
them for a mid-Bajnalsic segment. He's going to see maybe we're on court saving
at a time, maybe we're sky crabs, you know, winning the seeds. But we'll be back here
after that analysis to watch game three aquacord first Skydram.
Cool. Okay. Hello, writes. All I am going to try and do this as much justice as I can,
However, I understand that this is an insanely niche mechanic that I'm going to try and explain as best as possible for as wide of an audience as possible.
During that second seed, I discussed with a plethora of amazing top-level speedrunners about this exact thing right here.
Well, watch it through at full speed first, just to try and talk you through it and then I will try my best to do it justice and explain exactly why Skycrab's pearl doesn't go where he's looking.
As you can see, this pearl jump seems as though it should be flying straight up that tower going very high.
However, his poll lands at Y 74, that is definitely not a normal poll, it's not something that is expected that is, you know, that we're going to really see from these top, top level runners.
And I spoke to specifically,
Silver Runs playoff's plot participant this season.
And I'm gonna try and some of what he said exactly,
not in his own words, so if I mess this up,
it's fully on me, I'm just trying to give a summary
in a very quick and digestible format.
But notice that it's Pearl,
it's kind of a little bit limp here.
It almost doesn't look like he's jump thrown.
And the reason behind that is, as you can see,
as he looks down after this Pearl,
You'll notice there is actually a block edge here,
effectively like a cliff.
There is a one block fall there.
And if you sprint jump on the edge of a block,
it can loop your pile occasionally
because of client server decent.
So technically every game is run
through an internal server on your PC.
And this tiny little bit of decent
can make the game think one thing
and the server think a completely different thing.
Meaning the server thinks you're actually falling off of this block here, like you're falling down on a level, but the game to you looks like you're jumping up while you're from it.
And this confusion means that the server throws the pearl as if you're trying to fall down, meaning it's kind of limp.
Now, that is not a perfect explanation that definitely cuts out a lot of the information that is, you know, well known within the very very top levels of the community, but I'm trying to give it a explain like I'm five kind of thing explain like I'm called one if you will.
And I think that is going to do it as about enough justice that it possibly can.
Skycrab only able to crank up to, I think, a Y90 standing here and not able to kill the dragon on the zero cycle.
But fortunately enough, does have that one extra explosive that the commentators did speak about early on.
And is able to finish off the dragon apologies that I don't have that clip right now ready.
Um, he's able to finish off the dragon off the chase down and obviously able to finish up that second seed as well.
It is too low. I'm not going to hold you guys for any longer sending you guys back to nerdy and find bag in the booth.
These things are all low and low, but nerdy, let's just come back to 1.2.
There was no client service split. Let's go to 1.2 with uh, I think 1.2.
the build one that got up to 256. That was a good version. That's cool, that's cool.
One of the great versions. One point too was awesome. You ended in never in like
half a time. It's just just a little light flashing black screen, like legit unwatchable gameplay.
That's what it's gonna, it's time for ain't season 10 on one point too. That'd be good for our
tenth season, you know, little, yeah, yeah, there we go. It would be a little bit of a time.
Well, we know, there's no ghost bucketing either. There's no ghost bucket, we see the fastest
for the lever on 1.2 but in all seriousness we're here at the village aquaward it's
the illusion of choice and it's the most I can't think of a word. I'm lucky. This
is the most in that intellectual scene to have another five right you know,
DT shipwreck it's kind of just about knowing those crafts mechanically you know
sometimes TNT placement we've seen that a lot in the do-go-over-splacement game
log situation and it's about finding the ability to village so many moving parts
That's right, where are you getting your food?
So many options for food chests.
Carrots, haybells, animals, right?
Like pigs, cows, if you have an early flinter,
early lava bucket, where is your enter?
How many lava pools are in there on the scene?
Where is your gravel?
Are you woodlighting?
Where is the goal of the more of the beds?
So much movement versus a BTC,
where there's one chest and that's all your loot, right?
Shipwreck two chests, all your loot,
room portal, one chest, that's all your loot.
So village seed could see, go in anyone's favor,
off of just overall the most interesting part
to watch on these seats for me, at least,
as we're in classic planes village,
river behind these runners,
blacks within front, food just to the right,
it's getting interesting right here.
We have more of a few things.
We're trying immediately.
Two Emeralds, that's so sad.
If we have three Emeralds,
there's that two and three chance
for the Iron Axe trade from the Weaponsmith
Village, we're about two Emeralds.
You're too broke for that, Villeger.
You need a gold ax here, anyways.
So looking good, regardless, but we do see it immediately
some slightly different routing here,
fineburg, not too much different, but just, you know,
a little bit different, and it always, it is always
interesting to see how different runners are.
Oh, Skype doesn't make that mistake.
This is such a micro thing, but in his last match,
he had a gold ax in the overall, he broke a bed with a gold
ax, which ate two durability off the ax,
and then didn't have enough in the bashing,
but I looked at this with silver after the first match.
We were very interested in the gold ax,
Because it happened in his match.
It was gold ax, stone store versus stone ax, gold shovel.
And gold ax, if you break eight logs, you kill the golem.
You break a crafting table twice in the overall.
You have two durability for the bastions.
So you can break two chests in the bastion quickly.
Wow.
Their ability.
Assuming you can get blocks other ways.
This seed, it's not going to be impactful because we don't have
shears, right?
So we're using the golem for the blocks of the stone
would play make sense, but if you optimally use your gold ax, you have enough durability
to just kill the gold with the gold ax.
But we have no shares, so this discussion doesn't matter at all.
That's guy crab.
And I'll go with both heading towards this flyer force, novel pool.
So I'll grab a slow amount of emeralds here.
Yeah, and a little bit of a lead here.
Once again, first catch up.
I'd love to see if he can.
I think it's a lot, believe, right?
Alcohol Corey hasn't even started getting his portal.
just the micro routing for the wood, for the food, you know,
aquacort, so that's a craft that was welcome.
So this is a massive leaf of skycrab on the way to medium.
The first sweep we've seen, second sweep, we've seen our rocket, right?
Yeah, I mean skycrab.
I mean, I think a lot of people would say
on who was the favorite in this seed, but skycrab,
just absolutely setting aside as lack of playoff's experience
and playing very well so far,
You need this chest and continuing on to the triple here.
That's right.
I think we're taking he's so low here,
Scott, what's going on here.
And even lower.
And it is housing, but I don't think you can commit to man
on at this angle, and he's just so low to this bastion,
he's going to use all's boss and go out,
Scott, I'm just going to say it even more time from this terrain.
Yeah, no, absolutely.
I don't know if Skycrab saw the fortress.
I know that awkward work did.
So good end of mattering.
like five chunks away, so I don't really know, it's not like it's crazy to
end and it's treasure bastion. It is just literally right here I'm
housing and Skycrab already down at the trading hall as Aquacord just
initially making his way down to the mid-down box. And he saw the fort on the
way down, so it's truly Scott Crab saw it as well. He hasn't made any
and time to pay raise so far.
And the way it's looking right now,
I mean the three oh, we'll see what the trades look like right,
but we four beds worth of string already.
We have two beds pre-crafted or pre- obtained
from the village for blaze vetting.
Check out as 13, 14, I'll be ready.
He hasn't even checked this double down here.
We should not be able to make up time in these fortresses.
That is something that's here in both the seeds.
So it could happen again, which is interesting, right?
Because it feels like Scott crab, such a big skill in RST
to be able to, you know, try to maximize how fast you can get six rods.
Wait, oh, look at this, he didn't get virus.
So we're going to have to throw another pro, a pretty decent mistake there.
I'm pretty sure that's what he's waiting for.
I'm pretty sure that's what he's missing.
Well, just didn't maybe fully check his trade or something.
It's extremely going back.
Is there any fire as I mean, look at Aquacord?
There is one fire as one.
OK, OK.
But that's a lot of time off, right?
Like what was maybe a 30 second lead is now maybe only 10.
Absolutely.
Everything else.
It's really, really, really hard for it.
Right?
And he's just really looking this awkward leading.
It's got to go.
Can't really, I mean, he's being so aggressive with these pearls.
But he's done one hour in the spawn area.
He hasn't popped the fire as there.
He's got to pop it now.
Mm.
It's awkward stuck in the water.
It's stuck in the water.
It's on the spotter, right?
So all this time loss is now even up.
Let's go.
I'm going for Sponored 2.
Aqua cord staying at Sponored 1.
So now some various inner sport and Scott grabs lost all of his time save that he had from
the start of the seed.
Just off of missing that one firerest.
And on to a CHF-2.5 parts here.
to hopefully eat some bread and heal up,
fire to clear out and not to best spawns,
but not that we're honest with you.
It's a three spawns before a split.
And no, it's better.
Right now, he still gets the three spawn,
not punish at all for, you know,
the healing and the other, you know,
frankly stuff he had to manage, right?
Took an extra spawn on this spawner for
or only one loss, one blaze loss.
And then if he spawners are far enough
of a parrow, we could see different shows.
We could see a different train to the shone
as well. Looks like Ockler here a little bit ahead at this point, honestly, on six rods.
Yeah, I know what you were saying. It was a two plus one cycle. It was two cycles for
those three blazes. So just the last cycle. So SkyCrab is going to get the rods here.
Even if he does, Ockler is measuring on six with craft and explosives. So SkyCrab can
trying to go for the seventh, Roddy does get it so he can leave his measurement and
aquacor got an outbreak. So aquacor meets another blaze which is right here, but
it's some time loss, right? He's got to get this blaze and he doesn't have the
pre-cross. So closer than we think now, because Scott, I can measure leave this
iron go and the perling was towards Scott, right?
Wow. Scott's throwing out as well. Now, yeah, I think you're right.
Uh, I'm sorry to say anything else in cool Scott got just a pro ahead same terrain they're heading to right now
Do we build on this terrain? Do we build lower 206 220 square right here a Y 49 heading lower?
But aqua quarter just a little faster. I got close. Did he have I wish fire is he have?
He's got something okay. It's okay. It's okay. I'm a little scared. It is first. I think it's a little bit first in starter
That's you get a clean spike
It's a good spike back.
Skycard though.
I thought it was a good spike behind.
Ocho court going down here.
Some lights down again.
This is committal.
It's a lot of time loss of this is the wrong way.
Skycard is going to either have again.
Neither of these runners have a great spike.
Is it just called down mid?
Where are we headed?
Water staircase down mid?
staircase down in Skycubs coming to it. It's a great spike in its grace.
It's easier for us to get. Wow, once again, once you're a spike in it.
And from the final day note here, Skycubs, someone 99 in the discussion, two months ago,
two pros away, three pros away, five, that's away. From day four, three,
we're gonna stop recording. And let's get back to the easy.
There's no looking a little bit of the nurse here, but even with still can get to 95,
And we have 13 explosives.
And so much time he doesn't have to push this at all.
I hope we're just in the end.
It's such a clean three plus two potential anyways,
even if he doesn't hit it.
It's a beautiful storyline guy, Crab.
It's gonna make it to our fun with the day-five work.
Wow, wow, awesome.
Awesome.
That is amazing.
That is so cool, man.
Oh my goodness.
First ever play us.
So many people excited to watch him play.
and look, he's in the final day.
It's not gonna three, one, it's not gonna three, two,
he didn't wanna awkward pick a seed nerdy.
And Skycrab is in the top four.
Oh, it does kill the dragon, too.
It just does not quite fast enough.
H-24, a three-o for Skycrab.
Wow.
Wow, wow, wow, the Skycrab doubters
having less and less told on to you.
Oh, he's so good on ours too, but is he gonna be good at ranked right? Oh, it's proving you're wrong.
But I am a little bit in his first playoffs.
That's that's it means, I mean, each 24 win, that is so good. I just I love to see
sky cover get this far. This is so exciting. I mean, I don't know. I I this is such a cool story line.
I feel like a lot of people um obviously very excited to see sky crab here.
And I mean, I will say, I doubt it.
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm moving what I'm moving on to to this weekend.
But I did not have to moving on to the final day.
So Scott Crab is, uh, is, uh, is proving me wrong.
You're right, off for winning this game.
And this guy Crab just shuts out.
Occuply.
They threw it open.
Yeah, um, we haven't introduced.
So what's off, I mean, see his thoughts on his imaginary.
See his thoughts on moving on to tomorrow.
Sky Crab, welcome into the booth.
How are you feeling after that three oh domination of aquacord?
I feel good. I didn't expect to actually win because I didn't have that much to leave tonight. So
I was feeling pretty
not confident. What's your sleep schedule looking like right now? Is it good? Is it you just
know it's horrible? Oh it's horrible? Oh no. And also I woke up and I just couldn't sleep
I was too stressed, I don't know.
No, that's understandable.
A lot of pressure, but I think you've handled the pressure well.
I guess my question for you is, do you think that this is going to give you confidence for tomorrow?
I mean, taking a three-o-win is pretty big,
or do you think you're still going to have like a lot of nerves for tomorrow's game?
I think, yeah, I'm pretty confident tomorrow maybe.
Well, that's also, at least I'll get more sleep compared to today.
That would be helpful.
We noticed that in a lot of your games, it came down to the nav.
How did that feel like being behind and coming back in the stronghold?
Did that feel, I don't know, how did that feel for the zero?
Did that give you confidence?
Did that make it more intense?
How did that feel to be behind and come back in those strongholds?
I just got lucky on the novice, I think, especially in the last one, I just went to
me and then just hoped for the best. But on both seeds, I also had about 10 seconds in
B and so I just took it like safe in terms of like, do something stupid on this hero?
Yeah, I mean, you played really, really well. Man, that first seed was super chaotic. Do
walk us through. Do you remember? I know it's a few seasons ago, but what was going through your head for that one zero with like the you know you know the zero I'm talking about that first
year. I mean that was what was going through your head and that's it.
I thought when I was doing this year, I thought maybe like backing off and just do full or a global encyclicus. I'm not that confident with like two bit for anchor.
Yeah, I mean that's that's all I got here, Fumber, do you got anything else to ask for to sky out here?
No, I mean it's hard when it's hard to ask questions, because a lot of them you ask questions about how you lose a seat, how you bounce back mistakes that you made, but it's a three oh, there's just not that much to ask about it, I mean it was just good Minecraft all day and I mean I'm excited to see you back tomorrow the whole chat, the whole
Oh, gravel, we're all excited to see you back tomorrow.
I mean, you got hacks to go through
first the winner of last season.
Like you said, hopefully you get some more sleep tonight,
hopefully you're a three-o, like you said,
give you some confidence.
And I'm just excited to watch you play some more,
some more ranked tomorrow.
I mean, there's just some great stuff
and see the storyline continue.
I don't know if anything else.
You gotta get some sleep man,
it's gonna be a good game tomorrow.
And we'll see you back.
hopefully the winners booth and maybe on the podium as well.
So, great Minecraft, thanks for joining us here, and we'll see you tomorrow.
Yeah, thank you, no. See you. Bye-bye.
That was a little bit. I had no questions, but I was even trying to remember.
I don't remember the zero in the first season. Yeah.
Even talk about it. I can remember that first season is so good.
That's so, I mean, okay, listen.
I'm just so excited to see SkyTrab take.
I feel like that's a statement, fiber.
I'm stuttering on my words here,
but that's a statement, I feel like.
It's not like you're barely making it through
just squeaking by or whatever.
It's like SkyTrab's dominant in that last seat.
I mean, that's fantastic.
That last year is, I mean, I guess all three matches
were pretty close, but still very well played.
It was a guy who was proving it.
And he said, look at him in that, but I don't know why.
No, I don't know why he said it.
It's luck, but like you're playing the same series, you're opponent, right?
Yeah, I feel like they're still in knowing when to, you know, turn around,
when to play for different spikes.
I mean, you know, try to fight through the calling, right?
Like there's some skill in that decision making.
Even though it is, you know, you could say it's mental orangey, right?
But I think on that last year, especially Scott got recognized that, you know,
you know, that initial kind of spike that I even thought just watching was good, right?
I was like, oh, instant back spike.
It's great.
And both runners go there, doesn't go anywhere.
Skacker pulls out of that spike early, right?
Alcohol group committed that for just a little too long.
And you're thinking, oh, maybe it's cold.
Let me check me.
Let me check was there, you know, I hit it in bottom left.
And you go down that circuit made and he's instantly standing, right?
He goes down that circuit's two rooms, pops the scan right away and gets that spike.
So they're still in that even when it feels lucky and Skacker share that off today with the three.
Oh, I mean, so exciting.
I don't know, just, yeah, I don't know if I can't believe it.
He's the least folks here in the whole bracket.
The least expectations.
And he's like, look, I mean, he's looking on fire going in the tomorrow.
Yeah, no, I mean, I was, I was so grateful to have Skycrab in the bracket.
You know what I mean?
Like, I was feeling like, oh, my God, it's just so cool.
He's in the bracket.
I had him moving on.
I think, you know, last, last week.
But like, I felt like, you know, I mean, I don't even need
to disrespect Skycrab, it's just he's never been in playoff.
So I didn't have them going any farther.
I thought the nerves or whatever might get to him,
but I mean, man, he's proven himself today.
I'm very excited to see Scott got to the moral,
but he was very exciting enough
to hear coming up here, Fungard.
I don't know.
Let's go to the bracket, just to look at how it's sort
of filling out our top four, but like you said,
dirty, one more game, it's a repeat.
And the same exact spot in the bracket
as it was last season, by the way,
the third match down on the net with so much.
Infume versus low key, as a reminder,
if you guys weren't here last season,
or you forgot it was four months ago,
nerdy infume, three, oh, against low key.
Yeah, last season.
Yeah, and it is, I mean, infuse is scary opponent.
Low key last weekend was looking,
I mean, he was looking pretty good as well.
So I definitely, this is gonna be exciting
about our what happens.
I mean, both of them have been going to a game five
in their previous match.
So very exciting Minecraft regardless
and those from both of them.
Now, going against each other,
I cannot wait for this game.
I mean, last season, I was insanely hyped this season.
I feel like these are two runners
with very different approaches to Minecraft,
in view and being a much more,
you could say, decision making focused,
where's Loki just going all out within mechanics, right?
Going all out with the crazy things that we see him do,
like hitting a plus three on a zero,
or doing all sorts of crazy stuff with the pearl.
We saw last week so much cool stuff that we see from Loki's gameplay. I feel like he's one of my favorite players to watch
So this is just I could not be more excited for this game. This could be great funnels. Yeah, and before I want to start over to the seed stats or the player stats
Sorry, but before we do
Notably about the bracket infium
beat beef salad this season to get to this point last season Loki beat beef salad to get this point
Loki be beef South there to one in the season be beef South there to two. So maybe maybe there's something there Loki
Yeah, maybe something there. I don't know. I don't know. I mean obviously four months apart
Obviously, I mean they're not playing beef. I don't know this match could play in each other
So let's see the stats. Let's see if they've even cut him in each other all the season
I like looking at them. I look looking at the comparison the wings against the opponent
I feel like that's a big mental thing and it's oh wow seven to two
I mean, that's not going to locate a win in the best of five.
And if you can get in four seats, four seats is a washing still once.
Yeah, I mean, it is definitely looking good for infium there, but I just feel like I
understand that's a pretty commanding lead, but I really don't think you could ever underestimate
Loki and playoffs.
I mean, he's literally our most decorated player in all the playoffs ever, so I feel
like we can never count him up.
If it's a stats might look like a favorite infium, I think this is going to be a very exciting match.
That's favorite infium everywhere. I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking, in my head,
I'm like, because I'm thinking what you're thinking, right? It's like, wow, the stats
are so good for infium, but low key, right? If you read the bottom right, the 3x
plus one or R2, we're like, we got to like, we got to spice this graphic up for next season.
Like, let's, let's on that 650 assuming you still has this more decorative moments.
You're like, where is it?
We're like, let's put some like gold, like flames
around it or something, right?
And then maybe above their heads, give Wokey, like three trophies.
Put two trophies up there for Dugal, right?
Put some trophies up there.
And then maybe, oh, it, it, it is your index season.
Whoever has the highest peak, you are the season.
Put some flames on that peak, you know?
If there's a good, like, the best, the 547 is right now.
What's, what's, what's some flames there as well?
I'm cooking here because I agree with you, Nerdy.
Like, this, this, the stats are not doing
Okay, enough justice here.
Yeah, no, that is fair.
And also getting the 530 private room we saw recently.
Obviously, that's a private room.
You know, a lot of people don't necessarily count that for specific category.
But I think it's the point is he can go very fast on work.
Point is, even if, you know, you, you, you take the, the wish out of the
wash, you five 30 problem, whatever, whatever.
If you search up Loki on YouTube, he's got 300 K views on this video on one day.
And I think it took in fumes 547 a month to get there.
So if you're a casual viewer, you're just going to look at a slower time,
you're going to think it's more impressive.
So I mean, both these runners can crank the pace.
So we will see, oh my god, this is a real important level.
I'm just just discussing, like just discussing.
Yeah, I mean, the A24, I got it with this.
I want to play out again, the 63% I want to see exactly how many games it is.
But I think you said it was like 30 or something, right?
So I mean, or I guess 20 conclusions, 30 games total.
I think it's what your mental math was last weekend.
I don't know if that's exactly right, but in either case,
that is not like 824 and like 3 games, right?
We know that. So very exciting stuff.
Just dominant stats overall throughout the ranked season
for both these players.
If you've playing a lot more, but look,
he stats are looking quite gnarly.
I mean, yeah, other than the averages for, you know,
desert couple of village shipwreck,
this that's just so good for both of these runners.
It's like, what are we nitpicking, right?
It's like, oh, if you only has a 62% we're gonna be the only ones
five out of the eight games, like, oh, that's so bad, right?
It's like,
it's low-key only has a 60% we're gonna know,
oh, that's so bad, like, I don't know, it's just,
let's like a seed band seed picks.
I'm expecting Loki to ban that village just looking at the average and the wind percentage,
but we'll have to see what the situation looks like and what seed type we're picking first.
Imagine village ban from Loki probably that that would make us maybe a BT ban from him.
There we go. There it is.
They're flying off the stats and we're going to desert temple for seed of one and teams home ground.
Yeah, I guess that's right up there.
Yeah.
This is one of the interesting role types.
More interesting, I guess I'd say then BT that are important.
There's a lot of variance in woodlight versus flints.
Decisions, even you know, high tints.
You versus low tints.
You could trees that you go to wear on the river.
You try to end up whichever you go to.
There could be a lot of variance.
But some of those are temple seeds.
Not like that, right?
I mean, similarly, you have a bill of work.
Some boats, she's not like that.
she's not like that, right?
If you get 20 out in the box, you're going to find a lot of cool, right?
You spawn on gravel, and that could happen in the temple.
See, right?
Like, there just could be gravel, a lot of cool trees within one second of your spawn.
So it just all depends on what the overall loss in store for us.
And then even past your world nerdy, it always depends on the net, or always depends
on how strong it always depends on the zero.
So a world only one part of our massive journey to kill the dragon for both these runners.
I don't want to say an emotional standpoint. I was going to watch. I was a 110.
Financials, Calder match. For a quarterfonals spot on the bracket like crazy
that we're in this situation again.
It is. As Hacks was saying, it is a very similar brat the last season.
Want to see if this match pants out similarly. I will say, Duke getting
farther this time. I believe so definitely, you know, things are a little
different than last season, but it's not, you never know here. Let's see, as in-fume and
Loki looking very similar so far, nothing up to, crazy with seven iron. Yeah, there's
a problem. There's the lava pool, there's the tree, so not really much decision making.
That's a little bit of ordering difference. Loki's doing the Flint first and actually
heading towards some different trees, in-fume doing some closer trees. I like in-fume's
is rounding maybe a little better, but he hasn't done his gravel bloke yet. He's blowing
up gravel in the water here instead. So it's so dynamic. He's running as a place 60 and
60 different spots. But look, he just a little faster to this level. It's by so it's
by so little. Yeah, very, very close. But look, he was an idiot second or two ahead here.
Nice quick drain on the water beautiful stuff for Loki he's gonna save you more time there just on the mic on the mechanics and we're on
Man on the housing yeah very clean stuff there from Loki now
Meatly no hesitation had a good man. I'm gonna make it in the man. I'm
What man on that he could die about here to
This is the one we have to bridge
He has Durson gold
This is the blocks behind it and he made it looks like he's going to be able to get on too hard still right and we have no gap in 13 flush
So even though he's alive and already for the rest of this seed like can we even get to the fort quickly?
He's gonna have to chug so much flush in the start. He could still die to a stray pigland down here
Right like you can just get hit once on the way and he's only on two oh, it's he's not gonna spend time eating up right now
Loki in a much better spot although he's only on four hearts that that matters when we're just on flush here
that really matters. No, absolutely. I I feel like it's going to be kind of slow for
both runners, but yeah, like you said, find Rick those extra two and a half hearts. Is it,
I mean, that's huge for for Loki here. I don't know if anything's going to save that much
time off of Man on, right? Like, you didn't get all the out of breaking that one Chessing,
grabbing the double. I don't know if there was any in the double. I think this variance play didn't
work out in infuse favor, and maybe he felt like, you know, he kind of had to go for it.
I feel like something that infium doesn't send that often, right?
What man, huh?
You have to bridge a while, but he knows he's behind against low key off the overall world.
So did he feel forced to go?
And he didn't let his pigs out.
Look at this, you know, he didn't even break the block.
So the benefit of man from his now gone.
Yeah, that's a surprising mistake there from infium.
Now on four hearts while low key here on five and a half,
and we just have to keep an eye on that.
It's going to be important as we transition towards head
in towards this fortress.
I don't know.
I mean, Loki so far, I think playing the CE.
Loki is leaving right now off of me.
Yes, right.
It's a 14 chunk fort.
So these pearls are going to matter a lot.
Like Loki can throw one more, but he's going to be on half
heart and he's going to throw this pearl.
This land's weirdly on a tree.
He could just be dead.
Oh, what?
Watched.
What?
So he can throw this one pearl.
But he's a pearl behind Loki, does he opt to kill this hoglin?
He's going to get the log to look at it. Oh, he is. I don't mind. I think that's a very
simple one. He just has to. But it's even going to get the food. No,
swing a lot of that. That all goes. That is a disaster there for infium. You really
needed that food. Yeah, and I don't only the time us from not killing the
hogman, but he needed the food like that was the whole point, right? It's
all like that. It's double time loss because he needed this food.
We're going to look on three hearts. So it's looking a little bit better here for
to Loki, but definitely not an amazing situation.
The possibility of a blazed death or something crazy is not unheard of in this situation.
Now, look, he just got to the spawner, though.
Just got us first rod, so if you can find the spawner faster, which he's at now, I think
he's in a little bit of time on this fort and nav, but still, the food situation, actually
even up for both the runners.
Don't you, please, wow, we got all the teams.
want to play from infium there, play spawning on him in the middle of the Blaze TNT and he
gets all four TNT off without the Blaze killing him without the TNT blowing up the spawner.
Yeah, really good things to have crazy clutch play from infium. Actually,
kind of decided to hold seed right there. 100%. I mean, very clean stuff.
Good mechanics from infium and infium, or sorry, excuse me, Loki now, starting to build the portal
It'll get some blazes on, let's see how many rods he has after this cycle. So four rods for Loki.
Oh, Mr. Slace, I don't have it for you, so it's okay.
Excuse me, there for just a second.
I'm going to be a little bit better for infemil, right?
We were talking about that in manhood, but because Loki, I mean,
in teams got four things, I'll be Loki's got 25, but you only need 10 to build that second portal.
So man, I didn't punish him as much as we thought it would.
As one as I'm pretty similar pace
heading into this measurement and this is a village you do grab some carrots here for your low QD punch couple carrots
Looks like he's not gonna do that. I don't know. I think that's kind of a smart play. I wouldn't be satisfied with this
I think it's one parallel way sure. Yeah, if he was a different little micro spot here in this village
So he doesn't even have the choice
As we hit this last spawner, Loki cannot leave off of it and it's, it's a pearl already.
It looks like, looking for a pearl, and sometimes it's so awkward with a low terrain
like this.
He's got two gold picks in-fume.
He needs one more rod after this.
I don't think he's going to get it off of this blaze, but if he does, that's crazy.
What?
Because now Loki doesn't have nearly as many movies as we thought, how is it if you
come up on a boys?
Well, that's the best pearl there from Loki losing a couple seconds there, but now we
see Info and Loki both building towards their portal, Dilly at the same time.
But Loki's mechanics, he's just a little bit ahead on this portal, and that's the time
that could matter.
Right?
If this is instant after, he's just ahead a little bit here, and the menuying and
everything, good spike bottom left, maybe, but not able to go that way.
going to try from the right instead. Infume same staircase, same spot in the run, both these runners.
Check this out. On the stairs, Loki's committing at it is he is in some re-scanning and he's turning around.
Yeah, it looks like Loki, now having this strong little much better.
Let's see if he hit the zero. I mean, we only have six explosives. It's gold pick,
It's like O56, so it's clippable, but it's a 4 plus 2 front 85, free for a player like
Loki with the amount of display we have.
I mean, assuming an error doesn't go through the dragon, anything like that, but in
team just a little bit hesitant on that nav, and it might cause them to see it.
Well, he's got to do some good damage with these two anchors, though.
It's a little scary.
There's a little scary, but it looks like he's got that handle.
Trying to set it up.
So you'd expect from Loki very talented at those zero cycles, but I mean, that was a great
first seed.
Really just came to the nav ultimately, and maybe some on luckiness a little bit, maybe
you could say, with the food situation, with the hoglin for infium, but overall, I feel
like the decision making from Loki was very solid.
They're just playing it safe going for the top down and playing the seed very smooth with his mechanics finishing the seed off with a
7 59s a barely getting a sub 8, but
So like in few saving 25 seconds before I think he was just maybe one place up somehow
I don't know exactly how either. I don't know how yeah, I felt like I mean, monkey played for
or an extra cycle on the, on the unblaced, but it spun or maybe it was just, you know, the ordering.
Um, when they hit those spawners, right? Like if if if if if you hit that spun or first he loses a spawn cycle maybe earlier in the rotation,
it sort of de-sinks them a little bit. Maybe he's just up one blaze off of that because I saw Loki hit the second spawner as well.
So it's not like he didn't go for that spawner. Um, so it could literally just be ordering, right? Like in few hits the, the unbladed spawner first,
It gives him a one spawn, but the spawn on the blaze, but it's one that we've only been to.
So he's down in one blaze, but you know you flip it, maybe it's two to four on the blazes.
You'd have to look at the replay and really count the blazes, right?
To be able to tell exactly what happened, or maybe it was the blaze team for Loki.
You lost him a ride? I really don't know.
But I don't know how else you saved 25 seconds.
I made it so close to the stronghold, but Loki just commits that spike a little bit.
the faster puts him one seed up in.
That's more secret.
Oh, boss season, it was a three-year-long season
on that.
True.
That is true.
Nope, that's very true.
It couldn't be the start of a different trend.
We'll have to see.
I don't know, that was really fun to watch.
I am a big fan of both of these runners.
So seeing them go against it.
It is a little sad to me.
I will say if I'm wearing that neither of them.
We can't have both of them in the final day.
It's just the final, yeah, yeah, exactly.
So one of them can't, like, it's not even like,
they could get third place or something like that.
So it is always a little sad to see one of these
super insane runners go out this early, but at the same time,
you know, it does give us more chances for
other people as well.
So I'm looking forward to this.
But great for a seed, I do think that in few
showed some promises well, it wasn't like a dominant seed
for Loki I want to see. Yeah I wonder um we've done the seed picks we have those to see what our
second seed is I'm this best of five. If you don't I guess we'll just be waiting here until we do.
But it's not like I mean it's the man I'm playing the earlier early on the seed for in-fume
and the food situation I'm surprised I haven't even died in the fashion. Tep the composer
to keep us close all the way through and we are going into a shipwreck.
Let's see it.
Okay.
Yeah, and like we said last time, I'm going to curious see all of the
Iron Count, the food count, shipwrecks can be so good or so bad.
So it's going to be interesting to see all these various handles.
This situation.
But yeah, I mean, infuse pick.
Look, you're winning on the desert temple, which,
You might argue that if you see there to win obviously as you've said many times
sort of defining that no food meta and this seed, I mean there's obviously the chance
for a low food seed here as well or could be 12 carrots and 30 bread or 30 wheat so
you know her now. Yeah I mean it's less mechanical than the BTC right like you don't
Now that I'm the exact trunk, you kind of just see the shipwreck.
So, you're not infing band of these ocean seeds
that we're getting into ocean seed number two.
They feel a lot different.
Even though they're pretty similar in quality, right?
Or like in the just the vines of the seed
for like a better word.
There we go.
Okay.
Both runners, good food and good honor as well.
Shrews.
No door, unfortunately.
That's okay.
the lapis could craft the lapis block plus one block.
Please do this but that's an amazing play. I love that.
No pumpkin strats either.
That's no good part of 14T.
And a series note as we get the craftsman and Loki's crafts just so fast.
Look how much faster he's at on this tree. Look at infium.
He's made a three by two slice of bread.
Maybe like a...
So, if you just want one little mobile, feel like it is a full-low-fiber, like look at the texture, man, come on, man.
Either case from God.
Yeah, it's all in me that chicken drops.
I guess it would drop the whole chicken.
Yeah, I think the chicken would drop the whole chicken.
Yeah, it wasn't the best.
It's okay, it's okay.
It's okay.
I think this guy's got a stop talking.
This guy's got a stop talking.
We look at this though.
So there's just for Loki just has a lot of people on the surface and oh my god he's in so much faster
Mother why did you
Or he just wasn't looking for it
I mean, I think he really made you that much faster because he was so fast on the crops
I guess I don't know how much time out save them that is a good point. That is a good point
But he is in significantly faster in either case. This is the amount of the seed
I mean, Loki loses a little bit of time by going up the bastion farther than infimed it.
Not too applicable though, or it's not too much.
And isn't even going to make sure his pays get up for man, and he is.
Takes are up there and not blocked off as both of these runners started out.
And if he's actually on, he's back up blocks first.
all this time, just on the movement and the first half of this
bachelorette, look how it's sink there, it's beautiful stuff, yes.
What does this look like?
It looks like it's like, it almost looks like they are just a mirror in it.
It's not about the screens or a little delayed, we're trying to watch the same
behavior here, but it's a little, can we like adjust the, it's a little
off. I think we'll get on that in the back. We'll make sure it's simple. Okay, that's good
to hear. That's good to hear. Do you see some golden carrot crafts coming out here soon for
Loki, as well as I believe that for is being saved for infusion. Look at Loki's well.
I'm in Victoria. He's got 15 more clear slots on infusion does because infusion's got zero.
And then a bashing like housing, that's so impactful because the the seed is just so fast. The
the trades are just so fast.
But these runners are already 16 of city in for Loki 17 for Infium.
Where do we get the extra obsidian?
Pro up to the top.
Loki is heading up towards Infium 17.
Obian Loki's much faster at making this decision.
It is the obsidian up there.
So while Infium is doing this,
Loki's able to leave
He's a little shaky on the chart.
Pire, though, I mean, maybe he's just doing it so fast
to where I'm confused with what's happening.
But he doesn't see his foot.
Does it seem to see the foot, though?
Like is this just a weird eye?
I don't know for it.
If you doesn't see it either, Loki's now back
at his home portal, probably in the other way.
And he's an infum is where Loki was 20 seconds ago.
No, go and care.
It's crafted for the fast pearl.
I'm going to get you out of skeletons.
Wow.
Nice box in, scary stuff.
It's going to go both of the same time.
It's going to go both of the same stuff at all, great play.
And if you still can't find the fork, this weird sort of diagonal sideways
pie situation, I think he spots it now.
But this is so much time loss.
Yeah, how does he make up the time pack?
It's going to be tough for sure, but Loki taking a commanding lead here
into this for now, blaze betting.
Oh, an engine set.
That's not good.
I didn't see what happened.
He went for a parlaying to the spotter, but it was way too close.
Even on tour, I think the parlayans, he's on two and a half.
I don't know if he attempted to try to go for a parlaying or was just playing fast.
Right?
You know, it's so stressful being so behinding as low as you have to, you know,
breaks at possible.
And unfortunately for infium, you might have needed the breaks in just that very moment.
couldn't put the e-brake on in time two and a half harts after the pearl lands down to zero
And that's gotta be the sea right low keys gonna know yeah, if you don't have a ride
Exactly, no, he doesn't blind is gonna know he's not the stronghold
Now I do feel like low keys the kind of person to
100%
Yeah, he's just send that to plus two back to all boy
Yeah, like that is that is I think infused with a condition here is Loki sending some insane zero and dying
But at the same time, there's a good chance
You can actually
Was stuff
He entered with nothing and the train is okay. I think he's found a way to do it
But I don't know he died after the problem and right, so we died literally on the spawner
I think that means the blazes should have spawned.
I think your dead body still activates the spawner.
No, it doesn't.
The restaurant, if you're gonna chunk the fire
as mature stuff doesn't burn and does even have everything.
What did he lose?
Yes, just a shovel.
He has no obsidian.
Oh, yes.
Yeah, infium has nothing.
What do you do here?
Do you just reset?
I mean, I don't even know.
I mean, this is, I mean, okay,
The seed, bar and low key passing the controller
to like, his parents.
The seed is over.
From a game theory perspective,
do you reset if you're in FEMA if you have no hobby?
I don't even know, right?
Like, I think I don't know.
Yes, do you know hobby, right?
Do you play home portal and try to get
a 10 hobby from the 4K?
You can't even blind.
Like, you home portal, and then you go to the server
for five minutes.
Like, I don't know.
And Loki is building his portal.
So it's gonna be, I don't know.
I don't know.
I mean honestly, I feel like if you maybe the real place
to maybe more be keeping your composure,
you know, getting ready for the next scene,
maybe that's what he's doing.
I don't know.
It's gonna, like you said five or gets,
it's basically over here in less Loki
takes some crazy death.
This should be Loki sees.
So maybe in view, just kind of chilling out and getting ready mentally for the next scene.
I mean, if you are a Loki, excuse me, doesn't even have a great spike.
This is a crazy,
mind-shaft cave spider spike angle.
Luckily for Loki, I think infym is still, you know, 10 minutes out from being the seed.
Probably again, because he has no hobby.
So Loki can be in her for a while, but if Loki dies in the straw,
and also how rare he doesn't get a safety belt off.
He's kind of running out of food if you're trying to think of ways that
in-game can come back.
That's something that basically has to happen.
Yeah.
You're still in your rescue.
He's honestly struggling.
Yeah, it started to be a little weird.
Yeah, I mean, he's not seven rods.
If he had, I'll be this would be a game, but he doesn't.
And so, he has explosives, but what is interesting
gonna do on zero hobby?
If you just gonna go,
I mean, maybe he had a different trouble
if he just goes, does he go and then try to
get hobby in the bastion?
Is this gonna be the first ever
overworld, stronghold travel we've ever seen in playoffs?
That would be kind of cool,
But I too, it's 2400 nerdy.
Look how far away that is.
And infium is just gonna go.
We are playing 115.
He is off as nerdy is for Loki's play early.
It's a bit sad to Loki finds a poor honestly.
Like, if you don't have a journey here
and we're going to see the other shenanid as well.
Yeah, it's too bad.
I mean, this could not be good for the mental though.
Yeah, no, I'm absolutely not.
Hopefully infium able to bounce back
and we didn't see him lose the match this last time,
but yeah, so far, Loki having a fairly dominant performance.
We'll have to see if he could hit the zero.
He has only six bads.
It could go wrong.
Dragon could get too low he could die.
Great first damage.
Okay, yeah, I think he's, I think he's chilling.
I think he's chilling.
Ooh, ooh, wait.
Oh my god, that was amazing.
No, no.
No, no, no.
That was disgusting.
That was so cool.
Oh, no.
Oh.
There's no way.
I mean, I never knew.
That was amazing.
Wow.
Oh.
So absolutely zero pressure.
Absolutely zero pressure out of many hits.
That's zero.
No.
Oh my God.
What?
It's not.
Oh, when I was three and 17 on 23, it's, it's, it's,
understanding of the game that I can mentally comprehend, and he has six more, I just
like, what was that? That was unbelievable. I have like actually lost for words that we
said. We need to fill in replay. Just we need to just play the clip again. And we should
loop the clip 10 times and just bask in the aura. No, you don't even need words. What was that?
Dodging the dragon with the pearl and simultaneously using that pearl to break the crystal of
the dragon. I mean, come on man. That is just unbelievable. That's impossible. That's just impossible. It's just, that's impossible.
Like, I can't really remember that I saw that happen. I actually, in my head, like, I just thought he was going to die.
I feel like I would need slow motion to complete that and I would still feel.
That's just unreal.
I don't know if the crystal actually killed the dragon.
I felt like it did.
Maybe the bed did.
I don't know.
I'm going to call him in a second.
I really hope it did because I don't know.
It could have just, okay, it's either that or that that extra beddy did was an insane amount of damage.
I feel like so.
I mean, we need to like edit the clip, right?
Like the clips like at 9.9 on a ton of the bed kills the dragon.
We need to edit the clip and like make the dragon have a sliver of help, right?
They just make it.
They thought the dragon had a sliver of help.
I thought I thought I felt that I could be totally mistaken.
It genuinely, we would need to go frame by frame.
I mean, it was so fast that it's like genuinely hard to see what exactly happened there.
full of them is full of them is going to ready for a second we got a
worse kind of waiting till that's there but I just
I needed to throw the pros I can't throw words I just yeah I don't that's
so insane full of them's ready we're sending out a phone let's look at this
Oh my god.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
I don't really know what to say.
I don't really think there's much that I can do to analyze this.
Let's just watch it one more time, okay?
Son, that's just disgusting, that's just disgusting.
I, I, yeah, this is not normally, please, someone check in PC, like, the timing is
impeccable.
He avoids the dragon, which he understands is going to hit him lightly because of the
height of the dragon.
He takes the bed extension, piles towards the crystal, times the bed, kills
the dragon pulls into the crystal, dealing him two and a half, nullifying the explosion
damage from the crystal because the pearl hits it. Yeah, cool. And even if the dragon was still alive,
the crystal would have been connected to the dragon, meaning that it would have dealt a
a slither of damage. I just give it could go back to not even find back. I don't, I'm nothing else to say.
That's just crazy. That is awesome. That is awesome. That's awesome. That's
what you just, I need the pearl timing the pearl, right? Like, it's so, I think he
has a, he doesn't get hit by the dragon. It goes under the dragon. That doesn't get broken by the dragon.
I'm like, just everything, just everything.
What is C3?
Is it room portal?
I think it's room portal.
Are we gonna get a sub 5?
Let's see.
I think it's room.
It's possible.
I mean, you never know.
Yeah, it is room portal, I believe.
That's just so, so insane.
And we forgot, no, you do, like the Loki's Zero just completely threw us over, like,
might have had more work that to use the form analysis on Indian's Pearl that, maybe
there was actually something weird that happened there.
I thought he just messed up up running,
but Loki's aura zero just completely forgotten
on that part of the scene, right?
Like the whole reason why infium was
eroding to the stronghold, right?
Like we've never seen that on a playoffs.
We've never seen someone leave their manga
or go towards the stronghold and new occurrence
from what some might say the best ranked player ever
in see the map, right?
Like someone who's definitely in that conversation, right?
There's only a few names in that combo.
He's up there and we have zero odd
I'm voting them up, who don't like, just absurd situation that's that's that's crazy stuff. I mean, Loki having a very dominant performance here. So far, we love to see if we can claw back here on this room portal seed. So immediately,
I think around here, if you're getting stuck in some water, they're looking for twice. Yeah, that's just a little bit of micro movement. And even if it's not going to maybe matter too much, that's not good for the mental, right?
Yeah, he doesn't have advancements on so it isn't that low. He's got the the obvious early, but you know that you just you know movement air in a little bit
But we have a we have a pickaxe
we have three iron for
the pickaxe three hobby for the portal. We don't need to make a bucket infium punching these cows into the fire
This is really cool. I never thought about this. He's getting the cows away from the water instead of putting the fire close to them
and have it in the middle of the water,
he's just bought to you the name of a fire
and then killing over the action there.
That was crazy.
Good stuff there from infium.
I will say, and he's so food.
Yeah, yeah, infium.
Well, it was Loki as no food.
So crazy potential for this seed
to really go either way.
Infium slower to the room portal
and slower even more to enter
because of the food situation,
but he has the food, right?
Eight steak or six steak is just insane.
Loki, you can get the seed done on low food.
It's just so risky.
You know what is from the mission of the fiber is the seed
that eliminated infium last season, right?
The hacks to see where hacks got no,
no poor.
I think it was.
Yeah, hacks just played the seed super cleanly.
Oh, the last seed of last season.
That was, that was playoffs.
That was playoffs.
Exactly.
So if he was playoffs again, he's on five hearts.
As he has the steak to get it back up,
Loki five and a half for it.
So he can throw two pearls.
Promise is if he throws two pearls,
he can't blaze bad before he blab.
It's just really risky.
Loki really only wants to throw one pearl here.
I do like infuse position.
Maybe a little more here.
It's going to be hard to say.
I mean, you want to underestimate Loki,
but having just six steak is so huge, I feel like.
It's insane.
It's like sometimes the report says you get three chicken,
sometimes you get five, six steak is just,
It's just a sort of like each steak.
I haven't fully done the math or done
cop on in a while, but I feel like a steak is like a arts.
I've got healing.
I feel like a steak is just so feels like that.
I think that's too much like that.
Ooh, look, you take the thing.
Look, you take the thing, look, you take the thing.
Yeah, he's not the real arts now.
So maybe we have to throw one pearl on the news and anchor to reset.
So that now makes his little food situation a lot worse.
I think that puts in for you a pretty big lead on the sea,
just off that one hit from the late pigments.
And I don't know where the for is.
And
Okay, yeah, I kind of do expect to see this out faster though on trades. That's the 40's gunna throw a pearl. He's gonna leave off this as well
Wow, I'm a little hard here for Loki look at this. It's 254 look at the pace
He's right in the pearl. Okay, so I have to hungry instead of looks like this is a little weird though because he's under yep, he's under a
Um, can he overlap this damage? No, he can't. It's gonna overlap some crafts as we say he's under a fort, so he can't you know dig down on here
He said, but he's on the spawner first double spawner first. Maybe some better pearls
Leading him this way
Look, you know fire us
But he has what so we say
And few nice good trays on these on these spawners here. I feel like and he was gonna be in the lead in blazes killed
And he's in the lead on food
Yeah, exactly.
Loki's just committing to a singular blaze bet on this open spawner.
He's not even hit the close spawner.
So it's really going to come down to the rates of how fast a spawner is
responding when these blazes are going to drop.
All these random variant things is Loki going to be ahead.
It's if you're going to be ahead.
What's the rod situation like?
five for Loki five for infemes that the six for Loki no
quite one more blaze in teams got blazes waiting though that's also not the six
but Loki's got more blazes waiting is this gonna be it I feel like we've killed so many
blaze but it's still not it doesn't have any pre-craft so it's not like it's
time loss yet he can craft an anchoring in craft's gold picks and there's more
I'm going to see her for low key hyperactive spawner.
He's got six throw.
Trying to play for the seventh.
Going to give it up.
If you need to six throw out as well, the blazes will be there, but he, I don't know when
he gets it.
Yeah, it takes a while here.
I forget exactly how many blazes.
But and this micro is going to matter, right?
You know, when can you leave that spawner?
When can you start having to cause low key now working on the measurement?
And he's leaving this eye.
The drop he's going to try to get a seventh from the blazes here.
It's not a lot of functions around here.
It's the 7th, so he's leaving, but in teams out to court's first.
Wow, yeah, and that food, I think is true.
It's so far, low, he can only throw one more pearl into your fight.
We got his life to knock at three out here, and he's in the show on first.
Hot one, hot one.
Holy son.
The food player really paying off here.
Now it's gonna come down to the spike, but the one he is not behind.
Great spike down mid, though, for in-fume.
And he doesn't need to hunger reset. He's committing down the staircase. That could be his plus life
If it's not down the stick is that could be it not it
So committed here
Creeper if it moches down the staircase as well. Oh, there's a shooting fish and he's
It's like a four-eye. What the okay crazy
It's not free, but he has more explosives than low key.
What tower is that?
Well, I was going to be a side side up here.
And if you force to commit to 95 here, his pearl lands at 91, this rotation right here,
he can't get the first ball off.
Low key is on one and a half, I'll see he can't even go for zero.
That's the intention to not vote this.
He has one more bet in two acres.
Well, I'll slice his on the line.
Please write me a zero off great stuff there from Loki.
It's the theory from infium.
Can we just see one?
Back.
Not going to be that easy.
Not it's not going to be a three-o again.
I mean, last season, Loki got three-oed,
but we're not going to get a repeat of that.
So at least going to a game four,
I'm hoping for a game five, though.
That's why I'm hoping for another.
I mean, 638, what about pace?
That's the simplest fast, right?
So I didn't even throw the most of you low 3-4 for infumant.
Even with those bad rates,
that's the power of the room portal scene, right?
You spawn on the treasure, the 4th one, Parallel I, too.
638.
Yeah, I think you can down to the food.
I mean, I just deny it now.
This is, yeah, I mean, okay,
I'll tell you how much time in the fort,
like he was in the fort.
20 seconds faster, yeah.
He got to the spawner slower,
Just because he had so hungry, reset, right?
Cause he had no health, he had no food.
So great stuff there from infium,
making the right play in the overworld
and taking one seed back, we'll have to see,
if infium can take us through a game five
or if Loki is gonna move on to the next round.
Yeah, I mean, we can pick from any seed.
I mean, I say, we, but it's up to Loki,
the pick from any seed type.
So does he send it to the BT?
Does it, does he send it to him, use a band?
Or does he bring it back to one of those two sea types that he won on the temple or the shipwreck?
Let's see what the pickbams look like.
As he sends it to the BT.
Beautiful stuff there.
I mean both these runners obviously very experienced with the BT, but in a few them having
band it, I think it makes sense Loki just is going to pick the band.
Yeah, it's going to be an exciting match here, fine bird.
Hopefully we'll get another quick one.
Yeah, I mean we had a sub 7 PT already today, right?
We had one last weekend as well, so very possibly to be very fast, right?
You're guaranteed through it if there's TNT or guaranteed blocks, you know, there's
sheer, you get blocks as well.
I mean definitely the second fastest team to have obviously there's no looting in the chest,
like a room portal going to have, but that's sub 7 that we just had had no looting.
That was a nine and just a subset of the mid seven, right?
Like 6.59, 6.38, big difference, 20 seconds.
As we are just about ready to get into this BTC,
the in-game fighting for his class life,
nerdy season seven, he's out in the round of 16,
season eight, he's two seeds away from winning the whole thing.
And now he's one seed away from not being able to get redemption.
right? We could see an infemaxed grand finals again, but not if Loki has anything to say about it.
Two seeds left to go infium is life on the line down. Oh, two is brought back to one too.
As he's looking for the beat. I'm a BGP quick there. Lots of food this seed. So not going to be an
issue for Loki, hopefully. I'm going to get cheaters for blocks as well. We get the gold shovel,
one spare gold for distraction in team holding on to the two emeralds. Why make
his inventory look a bit. Yeah, he crashed into three axes. What? Loki
crashed into three iron axes and he has to full reset. Oh, no. So that's his
need. Yeah, that could totally be the whole seat. How is that possible?
I don't know, yeah, you just said, what do you, what do you, how do you drag three
you just, you hold like shift, right? So you drag, yeah, I guess. Wow, something like that.
I'm not exactly sure if I would, but I could tell you what happened. That was, uh, I think
not what he was going for. I, you know, I don't think he was probably going for that either.
Yeah, no, we've got, uh, infium just, yeah, full like 25 second lead or something like that.
Is that gonna be enough?
But I will say one thing, you said that, okay, no. So he should know that Loki is.
He doesn't find his advancements on, but he hasn't a little indicated on the top, right?
Yeah, well, see if he maybe doesn't. I don't know if that's really going to matter that much, but you know, maybe.
It's not that much time safe. Like it's not like you can not go. You still have to go for zero.
It's not like you go for one side or something like that.
But we'll have to see if Loki can claw back any way.
We can see he's got a lot of seed left of place.
Still a lot of seed left of why.
What's the game out of Loki is feeling crazy.
You could play single triple bapats just really stupid.
So he's not going to be.
That would be.
We got a lot of stuff.
But yeah, no, it might be a little too risky there.
I mean, if he was taking a good amount of damage in the stables,
and he can't get the beef sale hole out.
He's punched a pig.
And if he was in a bit of a pickle here,
I think there's a pig still mad at him. Yes, he got a twice there, but he didn't fall in the trades he didn't die.
So, not the worst situation for infium, but pretty bad. Took a lot of damage.
Yeah. Might lead to needing a hunger reset later in the seed.
And he's just starting his trade slower, right?
Is Loki going to be able to get these trades off quicker?
Clean B-Saud hole. Yes, he is gets the add-row.
Good so no keep it make up all this time just in the fashion
It's definitely possible to see it. I mean, I think a lot of these micro things could add up. We've talked a lot about
Locke's mechanics being just absolutely insane. So yeah, making good use
The bastion so far and
Potentially clung back some of that time fiverred
Yeah, we'll see exactly when these owners leave.
I don't know what the Obsidian kind of is looking like.
Infirmally at 16, are we getting a 20 from the rest of the trades?
Or not?
If you're killing these little pigland guardians here, we do have 20 obby.
Have to spare fireheads.
Infirm two more pigs, though.
Late pigs, late bull, no, you're my guy.
Oh my God!
You're surrounded, you're not gonna hit there.
There, and this is so much time loss though.
Sorry.
I cannot believe he's not that it even still nerdy.
It looks like he's leaving the bashing first.
Yeah.
How was that possible?
There's so much time loss there at the beginning.
Just right off the rip for Loki.
But in few, I'm definitely making some blunderers here.
Loki is looking to head towards the fortress as well,
perlling out.
It's such a better food situation.
And fumes on three and a half hearts,
see me on one heart on this clutch.
We do have some salmon still, I think.
I don't think any of us salmon,
so food situation honestly,
still pretty good for infium all things considered.
Yeah.
It's definitely not like Loki's food situation last seed,
but still a little bit worse could end up
mattering as the seed progresses here
first, right there for Loki and for infium as well.
So these runners are honestly just fully neck and neck
at this point.
They're looking me to all this time off the reset just on the bastion, you know, having a little bit more food being able to produce a little bit more aggressively to the fortress.
And neither runner has gotten any strays.
But with the runners have fully cleared out the spawner by the time the second spawn even happens.
So I don't know where the variance is going to come in on the seed in the fortress.
How does Loki save any time until we get to that traveling to the second portals, but you know, traveling to courts?
And we have.
If you're building his first portals, I think Loki maybe lost a lot.
Oh, Rob.
Rob lost a lot.
I think he lost a lot.
I think he lost one place.
Because Loki's on five was an inch in.
I think he lost one place to one fire.
I think that last one was two for Loki and three for Infant. I was thinking it, but looking at the
rod counts that has to be what it happened. I think this one fire and now Infant can just
lead Loki and doesn't know that it's one extra rod. Yeah. And how long is it going to take
for these places? He doesn't have to pre-craft, so it's not the worst time loss, but how long
are these places going to take? Look how far ahead Infant is. Yeah, and it's just all comes
down to this one rod. Can he get it from these three? I mean most likely, right?
Surely. Oh, it's two. What is earth? He lost. There we go. Maybe the fire was
going with all that. Yeah, that's some fleece going to cords. How is it?
It was a situation so different. If you miss seven explosives, well, killing
us five should be so comfortable for him. He's got a good spike to the left here. He's
going back. Looks like through the
wall wasn't in this game here. No,
it's not this though. Was it a zombie
spawner spike? Loki's now in.
If you get that's that's good. It's just
how do you get there. If you're
committing finds it. Yes, not dead to
this overfish. There's the crafting.
Wasn't pre-crafted, but Loki hasn't
found the portal room yet. So this time loss isn't going to matter. And if you're
on pace for him, mid seven, seven explosives six explosives in the zero, take us to a
game five. And a push 99. It looks like and let's check out these beds. I mean, the
unless the arrow goes through the dragon.
He has no arrows in fact, but the dance.
Oh, he does.
So excited not to shoot there.
Ooh.
Is this too low or no?
If you get the kill, and we're going to a game five.
We're going to get five to the straw that we're watching on the other side of our screen
a little hungry set in this water area.
The in-game save blazes.
It was like two blazes as well because Loki killed the first one on the new spawn
And there was nothing, you know, maybe if you've got a four spawn located at a two spawn because of one fire, I mean, it's possible it's for sure possible.
In either case though, there we have.
Infium taking us to a game five very exciting enough stuff.
I mean, hey, it's exactly what we asked for a fiber as we get another, I mean, a 726 from infium, these matches have been so quick today, but in either case.
Yeah, I mean, obviously, I think the big thing that stands out to me is that 23 second.
Now, there's split there.
You can see it's literally exactly the same as the resultant time loss in this roundbook.
So they would have entered the roundbook, they would have entered the roundbook, if the exact same time had looking out made that mistake.
But, uh, are to say for sure, in either case, in a few with a solid win there,
excited to see what this game 5 has in store for us.
I will say Loki gets the seed pick for game 9 true as well.
So it's not likely that he's going to pick what he banned.
Not likely we're going to get the world tour.
Is he going to go back to one of those 2cc1 on earlier, right?
The dozen couple of the shipwreck is going to go to the BT that he lost on.
Just that.
It's kind of sad. I can't go to the beach either. I draw a series. Two minutes.
You go on my head.
Lots of the real portal earlier. He's going back to the ship right there.
I mean, the slow is even this. Best of five by almost two minutes.
Right, 759, 7, 26, 6, 3, and then barely even a sub 10.
Maybe he wants to give us another beautiful zero.
Maybe the ship wreck is what caused that zero further. You never know.
You never know, you never know.
It caused that zero cause in Fium.
I mean, in Fium was doing his shipwork cosplay
at the end of the hat scene.
So true.
That is the good point.
That is a good point.
I like that analysis there.
We'll have to see, yeah, definitely guess his most dominant victory
if you think about it like that.
So maybe to see like the confidence to give him more.
Maybe he's not even really thinking about it that much.
We'll have to see what we have for us with the shipwreck.
I think I'm sure we can have so much variance to them.
Let's see what this one has in store.
As we are ready to go and already both players playoffs,
on the line, Loki has had two chances to close it out so far.
This is the final one, 11-iron, six carrots.
You've run flesh, Loki not grabbing the stew,
but she never did too much,
some bubbles on the shipwreck as well. Is Loki going to make an Iron Axe? Is he going to make
shears? This could be the variance play in game. Did you know what? Do you know what?
Stone Axe shears? Do you make Iron Axe no shears? Stone Axe shears? Infium. What are we crafting?
I-oh, they're trying to eat the other way around this time. But this nerdy could be the entire
see right here. So not sure if I have no
shearsers. I do love seeing a different
overworld so we can compare them and
contrast to see wishes faster. I
don't know. I feel like I personally
would I think I would make shears. I
would like these trees are so awkward
infemes out, but not that much faster.
This is only like a five to ten
second time saved and Loki dug down
on gravel for his cobble. So they're
in this ravine within, you know, a
second of each other. Yeah, no, and look, he's looking to listen a really
awkward spot is going to swim a little farther in. There's the rest of the
ravine. Again, few minutes a little bit faster there. But the blocks, no,
those locks. It's not have that many blocks. It's stable. So you don't have
these blocks for the route. But can most of you save? Can you come on terrain? Yeah,
look at where he's going to the right here. This lets him connect up to these
these triples in-fume. Doesn't have that many blocks. Wow. What's the situation? This is
all as well. He's gonna have to get more wood building here and Loki's so much faster. Yeah.
To the bastion boneclutch for blood. Oh, I mean, hey, how much stuff? That's not good. That's not good.
And we have to get it all. Pick up stew. Is he gonna eat one carrot? Any stew guy here? He could die.
Okay. So we're just trying to get here.
guy and infium the terrain what we thought was good for Loki it's now good for
infium yeah because Loki didn't keep his height he's gonna come at the point double
triple here and so is infium I think he preparing the double triple getting these
pigs ready here only on three hearts funery that's scary me personally oh
look at him check out look at him check out look at him
I know that.
Maybe this is the old seed.
Look, yes.
Use six gold on the carrot.
Yes, use maybe five gold on the carrot.
I think he ate one.
So much difference in these two runs.
Oh, my God.
I've ate so many pigs on this beef saddle.
So many pigs.
Look, he's taking another hit of damage there.
So scared me a little bit, but.
Neither case.
It's a totally different routing from these two runners on the sea.
I don't think entirely different.
I don't think Loki's grabbed the other gold box.
He is not adding to them now.
It seems to be a trap for us since he had to craft those golden carrots.
I wonder, you know, that could end up mattering for the trades.
I don't even know how much.
Obviously, there is in the basher, right?
Like if there's not 20 up here, Loki loses.
Yeah, I'm a spot.
There we go.
There's some.
Just for them, not the guaranteed chest, but only for.
There we go.
That should be enough.
That'll be enough right there.
16 without even checking the trades.
Loki can be a perlang off so many pigs.
Not in him here.
He's got to check his trades.
And he's got to check his trades as well.
But Loki should be out a little faster.
How many pearls does he have though?
17.
Two stacks of string though.
It's just the Pearl situation.
He wants one more pro.
Look at him.
He's already leaving.
Wow.
How does that even happen?
Just better you know routing to
Terrain it and and located as I'm a prostitute here in Kim Sowa had no
Yeah, because it the boat clutch. Oh, but he finds a report. Oh, no, I got no
There was a store there. It was not looting
Okay, okay, okay, I'm 16 pearls in few 20 sort of crazy in few plain trays in this seed as well
Well, Loki throws one bad pro.
Now it's the first time.
I can 14 pros of the spawner.
So he's not going to play straight because he doesn't have the resources to do so.
Inflame has so many blazes here on the spawner.
Loki is going to try to play straight.
How does infium hold this lead?
How does Loki?
I think Loki should have another fight out of her.
No, he did.
He did.
That's what's nuts.
That's pretty crazy.
case it is definitely scary here for Loki. I feel like it is interesting to me that he
has his flesh out saving those carrots for later. Did he even craft the carrots? He did
their in his inventory. He just doesn't. He just has the flesh out. Maybe trying to save that
for later on with the purling. I mean, if he was a head on the rods by one, but I feel like he's
a head-on blazes by at least five. He had so many strays and he's been at the spawner
faster as well. I don't know how Loki saves time in this two-an-a-varts. Oh my goodness.
Loki, let's see. Remember he asked the carrots. Why is he still eating the flesh?
I don't know. I don't know.
And he can't get into a now he remembers.
And into my blog, Rod's.
So he could only have three no pre-crafts.
He can make some gold picks.
I need to have him self-now.
As infusion goes to grab his eye.
That's a good idea.
With two, that could be sometimes about Loki.
Doesn't even really want to throw a pearl up, right?
like the Elis 14 pearls.
True, no, that's a good point.
If you missed 24, so you know,
Rocky might not even really go for the zero out.
If it's a zero line, it's back, absolutely.
And it's 1100.
This is if you see to lose, this is his playoff's lose
to knock out Loki again two seasons in a row.
A reverse sweep, have we seen that yet this season?
I don't think so.
Going up with, I am sitting in gravel.
like Loki running out of stuff to use just because I mean he ran out of he just didn't have
as much gold to trade with the double triple. The the play for Infium really paying off ultimately
with the pearls mainly but also at the block side stuff. If you guys have found the best to
reign to cords Loki's gonna whip one pearl so now he has 13 only. Look at the terrain. I think
Loki has made up a little bit of time on this terrain just you know going higher but in
in the stronghold first.
Good spike to the left.
It's straight left.
There he is.
Oh, this is zero.
So look,
it's zero.
It's one pro.
There's just no way he can zero.
He's not going to the right way.
See if anything.
He can't get to the node.
It's back dragon.
There's just no way he can get there
and it's back cage zero is so chill.
In terms of seven explosives,
there's nothing standing between him in the final day of fall.
So once again, and all the more that Locus Farm,
nerdy three seeds in a row has faded.
And now, just a memory has infium of races,
Locue, I'm trying to argue.
There's this thing.
Does he get it on the last thing?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Here.
Oh, he's here.
OK, OK.
He's got to make that intense for the script.
But there we go, we see infium.
What can you get, Loki, reverse sweep three to two,
what a clutch from infium.
Wow.
I don't know, I believe we got a reverse sweep.
In this matchup of all matchups, no, no, no, no.
Loki, up to all and now Loki, once again,
swatted out of the final day of playoffs.
Two seasons in a row are three time winner.
Absolutely insane funvert. That is crazy. I mean, I do feel like man
I guess just like some small things here or there from Loki some small mistakes
And in a few them just with the decisions that will to melee pay off
I mean that's just insane. It saves 30 seconds
Getting to the fort and he wasn't even the one who played
Double triple. Like if you look at the switch you think it's on the way around
You think oh I have to be by double triple low keep light triple the gap and then
then infium just didn't lose enough time,
but no, low key plate, double triple.
And still lost 30 seconds.
Wow, crazy stuff.
I'm not gonna let you go.
I'm lost from where it's here, Fiber.
In film, welcome to the booth.
How are you feeling after the reverse sweep there on low key?
I'm gonna throw, I'm gonna throw off.
I'm just everything shaking man, everything shaking, boys hands gameplay.
Oh my god.
You clashed it up in the end there.
Worked curious to hear your thought process on that last seed you made a lot of different
decisions from Loki there, choosing to go for, I mean, the big thing was going for
triple to cap, also choosing to go for the Iron Axe at the beginning, I guess walk us
through what was going through your head, make those decisions.
Yeah, I mean, all that last seed, including the last three seed, because I mean, I'm down to a really one seed that I lose.
My thought process on making Iron Acts there is just getting a stone axe,
until so you can make sure that I have that like more consistency with having like those blocks.
I thought it just like, you know, I could tell myself, like, I have to win by any means necessary.
And that's the biggest time saved I know I'm going to have, especially on Loki, I'm just going to have a can of scapped.
So I need to make as best as it is I can, even though it is going to be more inconsistent,
I need to do the best thing that I can that is just the fastest that he can't really
mechanics dismay on. I see. I make sense. It worked out. I guess I know you said you've
like had golf videos on the second monitor in the past or other videos like that, but I guess
sort of tangentially related to that question. How did you keep it together
after nine minutes in a seed to when you're voting to the stronghold in the
overworld? How does your mental stay together? Or doesn't it not? I don't like that.
No, it was okay. It was like a whole bunch of things because I'll tell you, this is
I have to have a long answer for this. Because yeah, like, yeah, last weekend I had
on a grand horror video and I didn't feel like I played it well against beef and you know like as the strategy I use last season
You know and I worked with my first match and I was like, and I don't feel like I worked that much so today
I actually I've been thinking about this as a lot. I've been thinking about this a lot
I did laundry two days ago. I did white because for my birthday my sister got me a lab-ish shirt
And I haven't washed yet and when you wash clothes, you know you got them especially looking new clothes
You know, I might stay in other things. I made sure to wash it with white and I and I I washed I did my whites
yesterday. So my lavish here was clean. So right now, under my under my hoodie that I'm wearing,
I've my lavish here on and I'm listening and I decided today to listen to LaVe and right now
I have everything I know about love playing right now. So that's just kind of more underlated.
But and also I will say though tomorrow I have a fit plan as well. Hopefully you'll see in the best light.
But I mean, overall just trying to keep the mental.
It's just honestly, I know I remember
actually kind of rage-bading with this in a chat,
we could do a go, saying how we'd rather be down to O than up to O.
And honestly, I don't, I'm not against that.
I mean, those first two seeds, I really struggle with nerves
that that first type of level world.
I mean, I knew it was going to be nervous,
but you know, it's still the fall process.
You know, play your best deep-type first.
I knew it was giving nervous, I got gaps in the world
because I let nerves get to me a lot
on the mechanics and crafting.
And then after the second seed,
just like just absolutely horrible,
horribly played by me,
trying to play to be aggressive.
I'm down too well.
I'm just telling myself,
like I have no nerves and I'm telling myself,
like it's just this is a moment.
Like I have like,
my back against the wall,
I have to win by any means necessary.
I mean, just like,
I have to go for more risky things.
So I'm not worried about, you know,
oh my gosh, am I gonna lose?
I'm worried about I need to win.
So I think that just kind of helped me.
And then after you've seen, you know, I was like,
I bring closer to two one, two two.
It's still, I'm trying to still tell myself
that same mindset, even though I'm not down to zero,
it's still that same mindset where if I lose a seed,
it is just over.
So I need to make sure I win by any means necessary.
That's an excuse, slogan, buy any means necessary.
It's interesting, I will say,
you say that you're taking his risky plays
in the three seeds that you're down to,
but a big difference maker on seed
to read that room portal.
See, this you entered with steak and low-key
entered with low food, you would think.
Yes, yes.
Is that not a risk that you wanted to take, you know,
playing that no-for-enter?
I mean, even in the start of that seat, you messed up that
lake movement for like five or so.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, I need a little more minor practice.
But I was, I mean, honestly, I'm that's, I was kind of playing for
the sake of either winking this in because I never see anybody
put fire behind the mob and then punch it into the fire.
But he was so smart I was very I'm really I was very proud of myself and I definitely helped out a lot
And it wasn't the back of my mind like you know, maybe do I get a sheep because you know
Maybe that one string helps another explosive
It's easier for zero, but it's just I know snakes getting better. I'm confident that he's not gonna be making that play
I'm confident I can make that play so it's just I know snakes better and I'm just confident that I that is a potential one condition for me
I mean it was and you've moved on you
You've, as the repeat of the last quarter finals match in last season, you played
look, he last season as well, and it was a three-o for you last season.
I was almost a three-o for him this season, but you brought it back in a few you are
playing due-gile in the semi-finals tomorrow on your way to potentially rematch tracks
in the grand finals.
Do you have any thoughts, you said you have a favorite tomorrow about anything you're going
to do tonight or anything different, different ways you're going to approach tomorrow
to make sure he got the win this season.
I mean, tonight, I just need to make sure I get some sleep.
I had, I, I, I, I travel going to sleep last night.
I, I, I, I, I had a little bit of a headache playing today, but you know, I'm going to,
I'm, I mean, you're going to, I'm going to state, I'm going to say live or a little bit,
and then maybe you don't get some, get some, get some cook out, or you know, maybe drive
or get some canes, get some good food, and then try to get some good sleep going into tomorrow's,
and I, you know, make, as, you know, at the plan as the plan is, you know, when my first
around and then during the third place match,
I make myself a peanut butter jelly sandwich
and then I come back and win grand finals.
That's the plan.
There you go.
Oh, winner is peanut butter jelly sandwich.
In Fium, it's been wonderful.
Thank congrats on the win.
That was super exciting.
So I mean congrats.
I think you should feel very proud of this
and stay rested and best of luck tomorrow.
Thank you.
So all of you here.
Let's throw it over to the bracket.
Let's see what it looks like for season nine.
Oh, I don't think it's like a season familiar names.
We got to hack some of the top,
and if you want the bottom, like we saw last season,
but it could not be more different
in the top out of the bracket sky crab.
Yes.
Making it look through.
Dude, look at the, I mean, this is so,
this is such an exciting bracket.
I could not be, I could not be more thrilled.
I feel like I'm thinking about like all the different
permutations of what can happen here, right?
We get Skycrap going on a grand final,
so I'll be crazy.
Hacks going for the repeat,
in-fume going for redemption,
do Gal going for his third win?
I mean, just any permutation that we have here
is so exciting.
Yeah, tomorrow is just gonna be incredible.
And even the games today that we thought were close,
or that we're gonna be blowouts,
end up being close anyways.
like this inking-low-key game, what looked to be a fast-three-oh,
just a craziest three-two.
We have red.
Skycrack, I guess, was the blowout, right?
Three-oh against aquacord.
Maybe it keeps that energy into tomorrow.
The nine hacks that the repeat,
we've never had a repeat playoff swimmer.
Still, into season nine,
and this realistically could be like one of the last chances,
As players get better and better and better as the skill gap gets fore or closer and closer
between all these runners, it's harder to win twice in a row.
This could be like the best chance that we have at getting that repeat winner.
I don't know.
I mean, Hacks has had a good time so far in this bracket, I think.
He said to, he said, I mean, that first opponent that he had was really easy and then,
Today, maybe a little more challenging, but in either case,
you have to face skycrab tomorrow.
So I'm definitely, I'm excited to see if
accident can make it happen.
Yeah, I mean, if you, if you taught, told someone,
we have the big four ranked players going into the final
day, hacks, if you do go.
And then it's like, who's the fourth person?
You see, I don't know.
You got a long head of an ax.
Silver, one last, one season, one pops?
Yeah, Loki, maybe Skycrab.
Skycrab has the fourth layer,
to all is going to be absolute symbol.
I could not be more excited.
I feel like I'm kind of repeating myself here,
but it comes from a place I'm enthusiastic about,
I'm very excited to see what happens tomorrow.
And honestly, I don't know, it's so hard to root for people
when every single story line is exciting, you know?
Did you roast them all the way out as completely
like I was looking at old season, I didn't know I didn't, I didn't, I was just
doing it, I didn't really like, I don't even hear it, so can you just say it? I
don't want to look at a clip, can you just run it back? I know you're not going to
imply that hacks had an easy first opponent. That's so nice. Hey, keep in mind though,
keep in mind how many seeds did Steve's one against hacks? Okay, okay, no, that's good,
That's not a lot of them.
No, I'm a...
You know, okay, fine.
Fine, Rick, you did better than Steve's against Hacks.
So let's see how many seed skycrabs take so that's Hacks.
And then let's see how many in-female tag of Hacks.
And then let's see.
And then let's see if you have the easiest first round opponent,
or the hardest first round opponent, let's see.
Let's just see.
Let's see how the ball has it.
I shouldn't, you're right.
I shouldn't underestimate you five very hard.
I'm sorry.
It was a joke.
It was a bit of fun, okay.
I'm like, I have, I would generally, I could not have told you what you said at it.
I was looking at like the bracket from last season, I had no idea what you were saying.
It was just no possible.
He just never listens to me man, you just never listen to me.
This is what I have to deal with.
You guys see this?
But anyways, yeah.
Tomorrow, final four games.
We don't know which semi-file is matches first.
That's just a pen zone.
Obviously what the schedules were.
We'll have that in like an hour probably for the specific order of this,
just saying that as much as, but we'll do the first two semi-file is first.
Then the third place match, then the grand finals, grand finals,
will be best of $7 or $3 or $5 and there you will crown our season 9 playoffs winner tomorrow.
It's going to be exciting. It's going to be more than exciting. I cannot wait. I mean, this season has
been a blast so far. It is very reminiscent of last season. I will say it is surprising how
similar it is to last season, but that's kind of cool. And in and of itself. I mean, I don't know
to see it such a similar bracket. Is it going to pan out the same way? Well, to see.
I'm looking, it's so afraid I remember it. Season 6, okay. Season 6 and Season 7 have the same
grand finals back to back. That's the only time we've had that happen. So it's possible,
happens again, season 8 and 9. We'll see. I couldn't afford it. That's not it. I couldn't
like, you know, it's just, you know, it's like 7 and Season 6. You could have gone back,
I feel like that's a better way of framing it.
It's a little bit better.
Whatever man, we'll see you guys tomorrow.
We'll see you guys tomorrow.
We'll be back.
Top four, crowning a winner.
See you then I'm plus.
I chat.
