WEBVTT

02:00.000 --> 02:02.760
Tell me where you want to go

02:02.760 --> 02:06.200
We could fight to the stars, yeah

02:06.200 --> 02:10.200
Oh, oh, tell me if you want to stay

02:10.200 --> 02:13.600
We could fight right and then, yeah

02:13.600 --> 02:17.600
Oh, oh, tell me where you want to go

02:17.600 --> 02:21.200
We could fight to the stars, yeah

02:21.200 --> 02:24.800
Oh, oh, tell me where you want to go

08:24.800 --> 08:26.800
I

10:24.800 --> 10:26.800
I don't wanna...

10:27.800 --> 10:29.800
I don't wanna...

10:31.800 --> 10:33.800
...sing in the house.

10:35.800 --> 10:37.800
Cough, cough, cough, cough...

10:38.800 --> 10:40.800
Chats?

10:49.800 --> 10:51.800
Guys?

10:54.800 --> 11:12.500
It's apparently has been a very long weekend in the rivals community.

11:12.500 --> 11:20.800
I was off streaming Overwatch OWCS grinding away my droppies and I knew things weren't

11:20.800 --> 11:23.460
going too hot this past week already.

11:25.600 --> 11:30.100
But, it seems like things were way worse

11:31.500 --> 11:34.400
than a lot of people realized

11:34.400 --> 11:38.760
until this weekend, or this past week especially,

11:38.760 --> 11:41.200
really started being like, hey guys,

11:41.200 --> 11:43.800
game doesn't feel good, stuff's going on,

11:43.800 --> 11:45.000
cheaters are everywhere.

11:46.840 --> 11:48.800
And if you haven't seen,

11:48.800 --> 11:50.800
There's a lot of people that have been talking about it.

11:52.800 --> 11:56.800
Is Brave You to Hop on Rivals with the Cheater Epidemic shit? Well, that's what I'm here to do.

11:57.800 --> 12:02.800
Because, last time I was here, I was a little sad, I never got to play the Dino.

12:04.800 --> 12:07.800
Dino's getting banned in every game, that was what I was enjoying the most.

12:08.800 --> 12:12.800
And, also their drops have been really bad.

12:12.800 --> 12:20.240
It's been no secret for a while that Rivals puts out content bypasses in almost any games, but it's Twitch drops for

12:20.640 --> 12:25.960
It's ignite tournament. It's the game in general. I just like very lackluster and compared to other games

12:26.720 --> 12:30.920
And it's something I feel like Rivals could have been able to do for a long time

12:31.640 --> 12:37.960
But they just kind of either refuse to or maybe they just don't actually end up caring as much about it

12:38.840 --> 12:41.440
Sorry, I've loaded in but don't worry. I'm not gonna be

12:41.440 --> 12:46.320
I'm not gonna be in this training range for too long. I'm gonna start showing you guys some stuff

12:47.040 --> 12:51.360
Um, oh, it's still a black screen. Lovely. This is we're off to a hot start today

12:52.320 --> 12:55.680
Usually why it's a black screen because I was playing a rush. So it's on my overwatch scene

12:57.200 --> 12:58.720
um

12:58.720 --> 13:00.720
and

13:01.280 --> 13:05.600
It's really sad uh because I

13:08.000 --> 13:10.000
Have played these games before

13:11.440 --> 13:18.440
And I really do love a lot of the good things that Rivals does.

13:18.440 --> 13:22.440
Like Rivals puts out content fast as almost any game I've ever seen.

13:22.440 --> 13:27.440
They respond to things very quickly and they even respond to what I'm going to talk about today already.

13:27.440 --> 13:29.440
They've already responded.

13:29.440 --> 13:37.440
They seem very in tune with their community and they seem to really want to have the game thrive and succeed.

13:37.440 --> 13:41.000
But I'm a little nervous and I haven't even read the egg

13:41.640 --> 13:44.520
I'm a little nervous because I already saw the title of the post

13:45.240 --> 13:52.220
And what I'm gonna be looking at is they finally addressed all the cheaters that people have been talking about the last few days

13:53.280 --> 13:57.400
Honestly, I was I was telling Russia. I'm like, yeah, we should do some spectating cheater. Apparently they're fucking everywhere

14:00.480 --> 14:03.880
But the reason why I'm nervous about it is because I

14:03.880 --> 14:13.480
I'm slightly distrustful of, like, is this going to be a consistent thing in the future?

14:13.480 --> 14:17.920
For those who don't know, people have been talking this whole week, especially this

14:17.920 --> 14:19.420
weekend.

14:19.420 --> 14:22.280
Last week it started this weekend, it really blew up.

14:22.280 --> 14:25.560
I'll just show you a couple of tweets from other people, notable people.

14:25.560 --> 14:28.560
I don't like to do posts with the cheating situation, Rammel's really bad.

14:28.560 --> 14:31.960
Viewers are spending with codes from Slash No Plus lobbies where people are hard locking.

14:31.960 --> 14:35.040
Like you'd ranked got a cheer on my third game. It's legitimately unplayable

14:35.680 --> 14:37.440
Hi, G had one

14:37.440 --> 14:41.480
They refuse placing a high rank lobby until the cheater situation is fixed and draw my penny

14:41.960 --> 14:45.720
Jay also hot comes in on it. You'll think it's Samsung fridge for the big five

14:45.720 --> 14:50.400
You have to appreciate your break me. So I think you get to go through this though as a small figure in the in the

14:50.480 --> 14:55.200
More Alice community. I feel like I had to speak about the cheating issue being more light to the topic apparently cheaters in the game

14:55.200 --> 14:59.360
Are deleting the anti-cheat feature rivals claims? This is not true

14:59.360 --> 15:02.800
From when I have already read but like I haven't got that deep into it

15:02.800 --> 15:05.760
So we'll go there in the future and hacking without consequence in the games

15:06.600 --> 15:08.000
It hasn't happened to be yet

15:08.000 --> 15:12.440
But a hacker did go by the name evil J3 and ruined a few streamers slash friends games

15:12.800 --> 15:17.480
Can we maybe fix this with a better anti-cheat system or maybe even a working one?

15:18.080 --> 15:19.880
needy ass rivals

15:19.880 --> 15:23.920
President of the United States LeBron James and Kim Kardashian great job

15:23.920 --> 15:27.340
Um, and I also grabbed this clip.

15:27.520 --> 15:29.440
I'm not, I don't, I didn't listen to it with sound.

15:29.440 --> 15:32.240
So I'm just going to show it without, it's like the current

15:32.240 --> 15:34.840
state of more rivals we agreed to draw because there's a cheater.

15:35.960 --> 15:39.500
And it's like, well, first off, welcome to Overwatch.

15:39.500 --> 15:42.720
We did this for years where everyone learned how to like, just draw

15:42.720 --> 15:44.120
out games and waste the cheaters time.

15:44.120 --> 15:47.520
Cause like, you know, it's the only thing you can really do to fight back.

15:47.720 --> 15:53.840
Uh, a lot of times, uh, that said, though, um, it's not even just

15:53.840 --> 16:00.280
that it's the cheaters themselves were actually posting all over social media talking about

16:00.280 --> 16:08.480
how bad Celestial players are and like shit talking them and literally like they were

16:08.480 --> 16:18.440
like streaming on Twitch getting real viewership hard locking and selling cheats. And I'm pretty

16:18.440 --> 16:22.480
sure in the replies of this tweet is a cheap provider that's like talking about like, oh,

16:22.480 --> 16:25.480
He got the sheets from us and he's like, nah, I didn't get him from you.

16:25.840 --> 16:29.520
And they're like literally trying to use each other as like free advertisement.

16:30.000 --> 16:33.600
Um, and they're all just kind of like flaunting it left and right.

16:34.560 --> 16:37.880
I want, I have this one from route to, uh, I've known around a long time,

16:37.920 --> 16:39.520
but that's, this isn't part of this cheered thing.

16:39.520 --> 16:40.480
I'll come back to it.

16:41.240 --> 16:45.560
But as of literally like a few minutes, like a couple of hours ago,

16:46.760 --> 16:48.120
rivals dropped this post.

16:48.880 --> 16:51.600
Uh, and I just wanted to point out, by the way, rivals did not stop.

16:51.600 --> 16:55.360
it's normal, like the drop updates.

16:55.360 --> 16:56.840
Rivals is kept on trucking.

16:56.840 --> 17:00.560
So it's like twist drops, cheating, skins, skins.

17:00.560 --> 17:02.040
And I think that's what kind of makes me

17:02.040 --> 17:06.640
a little bit nervous because don't forget,

17:06.640 --> 17:09.240
rivals did say that they were going to start cracking down

17:09.240 --> 17:13.120
a little bit more on cheaters and people stream sniping

17:13.120 --> 17:15.120
and throwing games and all this stuff.

17:15.120 --> 17:19.360
And it was supposed to be the point reward.

17:19.360 --> 17:20.720
Like if you like someone throws your game

17:20.720 --> 17:24.320
cheats in your game you get points back. I haven't seen it once. I haven't met a single person who's

17:24.320 --> 17:29.840
seen it once. I haven't seen anyone talk about it anywhere. And I'm worried that

17:30.480 --> 17:35.040
Rivals has gotten very good at telling us what we want to hear, but we don't actually end up seeing

17:35.040 --> 17:40.240
it. You know, and I'm very much like an action speak louder than type of person. But this is

17:40.240 --> 17:45.280
obviously good. Let's read it first. Palathe announcement, zero tolerance on cheats.

17:45.280 --> 18:03.760
Hi, Rivals. Recently, our telemetry detected that following the weekend update, a faction

18:03.760 --> 18:09.480
of rogue players began promoting and deploying unauthorized third-party enhancements. This

18:09.480 --> 18:15.920
This blatant disruption of our FAIR battlefield has sparked widespread concerns across the

18:15.920 --> 18:17.240
coronavirus.

18:17.240 --> 18:23.120
In response, our security teams have initiated an immediate, targeted purge.

18:23.120 --> 18:27.200
Maintaining a FAIR and honorable arena is our primary directive.

18:27.200 --> 18:32.760
We continuously combat sheets, scripts, and illicit tech through multi-layered, anti-cheat,

18:32.760 --> 18:39.400
monitoring, abnormal behavior detection, historical data reviews, and manual verification.

18:39.400 --> 18:45.460
This recent enforcement wave is a targeted crackdown addressing newly detected cheats

18:45.460 --> 18:49.600
building upon our foundational security framework.

18:49.600 --> 18:54.220
Following our investigation, accounts confirmed to be involved in violations such as using

18:54.220 --> 18:59.140
cheats, unless it assists programs or client tampering have been permanently banned.

18:59.140 --> 19:03.220
These signatures for these cheats have already been logged by our security team and integrated

19:03.220 --> 19:06.700
into our automated penalty system.

19:06.700 --> 19:11.180
Moving forward, any account verified to be using related cheats or illicit assist software

19:11.180 --> 19:14.780
will be permanently banned immediately.

19:14.780 --> 19:21.740
Why is that a, like, this sounds good until you like break it down.

19:21.740 --> 19:25.180
It's like, well we detected all these things and now we ban them and in the future we're

19:25.180 --> 19:26.180
going to ban them.

19:26.180 --> 19:29.900
Isn't that like how it always is supposed to work though?

19:29.900 --> 19:30.900
Right?

19:30.900 --> 19:37.980
right? Like, the only thing I could think of is that they had a band wave. So for those

19:37.980 --> 19:42.420
who don't know, a lot of companies, especially like video game companies, when they're doing

19:42.420 --> 19:48.700
cheat, cheater bands, they do them in waves. The reason they do them in waves is because

19:48.700 --> 19:53.060
let's say they detect someone who's cheating and then they wait like two or three months

19:53.060 --> 19:57.500
to ban them. The reason they do that and they do them all at once is because it makes it

19:57.500 --> 20:07.540
harder for the cheat provider to figure out what part of updates the game manufacturer

20:07.540 --> 20:11.540
discover how their cheat works and ban it.

20:11.540 --> 20:14.260
It's basically always a tug of war.

20:14.260 --> 20:20.380
And so what I've perceived from this is that they had already flagged a lot of these accounts

20:20.380 --> 20:23.140
and went waiting for the next ban wave.

20:23.140 --> 20:30.020
But regardless though, this is just how it normally works.

20:30.020 --> 20:34.740
And I don't see how this is changing it, realistically.

20:34.740 --> 20:41.660
And I still haven't seen anybody get the compensation points back.

20:41.660 --> 20:44.700
So I'm like, well, this just seems like the way it's always worked.

20:44.700 --> 20:47.260
Like this doesn't seem like anything new.

20:47.260 --> 20:52.740
And honestly, realistically, it shouldn't be an account ban.

20:52.740 --> 20:57.100
It should be a hardware ban or an IP ban at the minimum.

20:57.100 --> 20:59.060
And the reason why it should be a hardware ban

20:59.060 --> 21:01.140
is because rivals is a free to play game.

21:01.140 --> 21:03.360
You can just spam accounts.

21:03.360 --> 21:05.020
What stops you at that point?

21:05.020 --> 21:07.660
You lose your skins?

21:07.660 --> 21:08.160
Keep reading?

21:08.160 --> 21:08.500
I know.

21:08.500 --> 21:10.740
But we're going to get through everything,

21:10.740 --> 21:12.620
but I'm still going to talk about as we're going.

21:12.620 --> 21:17.060
This is the point of making this still stands.

21:17.060 --> 21:19.940
For severe cases involving repeated violations,

21:19.940 --> 21:22.620
organized distribution, or penalty evasion,

21:22.620 --> 21:27.380
we will implement further restrictive measures as necessary.

21:27.380 --> 21:29.540
These include but are not limited to account bands,

21:29.540 --> 21:32.380
device bands, and IP bands to continuously safeguard

21:32.380 --> 21:33.860
our fair gaming environment.

21:36.500 --> 21:39.580
So if you cheat once on one account, that's okay.

21:39.580 --> 21:42.180
But if you do it multiple times,

21:42.180 --> 21:44.420
now we're gonna do something.

21:44.420 --> 21:46.300
Is that smart?

21:46.300 --> 21:47.660
Is that a good idea?

21:48.620 --> 21:49.460
I don't know.

21:50.300 --> 21:51.340
I don't know about that.

21:51.340 --> 21:56.340
For full details on the complete list of affected accounts, please visit this website.

21:56.340 --> 21:58.340
I heard there's a huge list of accounts on here.

21:58.340 --> 22:00.340
It's actually crazy. We'll get there in a second, though.

22:00.340 --> 22:09.340
We urge all rivals, do not download, purchase, or distribute, or use any cheats, scripts, game modifiers, or illicit third-party tools.

22:09.340 --> 22:17.340
If you believe you are unjustly penalized, you may submit an appeal through our official customer support channels for review.

22:17.340 --> 22:21.680
Thank you for standing with us to protect the chronoverse, if you spot a suspected anomaly

22:21.680 --> 22:25.400
or cheater in your matches, report them immediately.

22:25.400 --> 22:30.240
We will continuously build, level up our anti-cheat arsenal to ensure that true skill, not forbidden

22:30.240 --> 22:31.920
tech reign supreme.

22:31.920 --> 22:35.280
So something they change about the report system a while ago that I really don't like

22:35.280 --> 22:38.680
is you actually can't type in there anymore.

22:38.680 --> 22:43.120
So like for example, if I reported somebody and I'm like, I can give you good info.

22:43.120 --> 22:50.480
I can tell you at this at this spot like 1307 1309 and 1312 like boom, you can actually see it hard lock

22:51.560 --> 22:53.720
Instead of watching the 26 minute long match

22:54.440 --> 23:00.320
You can't do it anymore. It's cuz people were typing bullshit, but it's like okay, but now it's just

23:01.000 --> 23:07.800
Like if it's bullshit just fucking to disregard it, right? If it's manual review a manual review person to look at and go

23:07.800 --> 23:09.800
Yeah, this is just dog shit and move on

23:09.920 --> 23:11.320
right

23:11.320 --> 23:14.800
So like I understand people were just typing dog shit on it

23:14.800 --> 23:20.020
But like aren't the systems supposed to be if the systems are supposed to be taking action on people's accounts, right?

23:20.020 --> 23:26.360
For throwing and for bait like for cheating and all that stuff shouldn't the system also be smart enough to understand that if you're just filling it with

23:26.760 --> 23:28.760
Dog shit. It's like whatever, you know

23:32.280 --> 23:38.640
You took what explanations in the text box it's just for the negative behavior category that only asked for the replay ID

23:38.640 --> 23:45.440
Is it only that one? I thought you could do it in any of them. I think you can only put in the

23:45.440 --> 23:51.040
replay ID, at least from last time I checked it. Please note, rumors circulating online that the

23:51.040 --> 23:56.000
anti-cheat system can be bypassed using launch parameters are completely false. Our anti-cheat

23:56.000 --> 24:00.960
launches concurrently with the game client and cannot be disabled independently. The parameter

24:00.960 --> 24:05.680
in question merely hides the pop-up window. It does not deactivate the anti-cheat software in

24:05.680 --> 24:12.400
any capacity. Alright, let's look at the length that they sent with this. Okay, so it's all pretty

24:12.400 --> 24:16.800
much the same. And then at the bottom it says below is the list of penultimate bank accounts from

24:16.800 --> 24:21.520
this wave. This includes all forms of cheats and exploits. I'm just going to let it scroll.

24:21.520 --> 24:33.960
I'm noticing a lot of bronze in here.

24:33.960 --> 24:37.800
You guys see a lot of bronze?

24:37.800 --> 24:40.880
Grandmaster and bronze seem to be the two that stick out the most.

24:40.880 --> 24:44.120
How long do I take?

24:44.120 --> 24:45.040
I mean, I can go faster.

24:45.040 --> 24:58.540
By the way, am I surprised that people like with names like this are cheating?

24:58.540 --> 25:13.340
No, not even a little.

25:13.340 --> 25:17.780
you can control F to see how many accounts in each rank got banned. How? Oh, you just

25:17.780 --> 25:34.760
type in Celestial. Let's do that. Let's do that. Control F. 39 of Celestial. Control

25:34.760 --> 25:44.680
F 184 and bronze 49 and silver

25:49.400 --> 25:50.680
65 and diamond

25:54.840 --> 25:58.920
I did not reset. Is there 65 and gray master as well? Yes, 65 and gray master.

25:58.920 --> 26:24.620
I did silver, platinum, 52, gold, 31, um, where's one of them all, one, literally one,

26:24.620 --> 26:34.100
One. Below is the list of accounts involved in severe violations from this wave. This

26:34.100 --> 26:38.900
includes all forms of cheats and exploits. Corresponding devices have been permanently

26:38.900 --> 26:50.860
banned. So there's three. So three hardware bans. So how many bans are in here in general?

26:50.860 --> 26:56.980
Actually, no, I just realized, sorry, there's three, one of all, three, one of all, one

26:56.980 --> 27:03.980
above all bands and three, and three horror bands.

27:03.980 --> 27:05.500
How many bands were in here in general, though?

27:05.500 --> 27:14.820
I'm sure someone could do the math and figure it out, but only three got the big band, which

27:14.820 --> 27:26.900
is seems a little low to me 500 500 seems is it just from this weekend they

27:26.900 --> 27:29.140
They've been 500 accounts just this weekend.

27:30.460 --> 27:31.300
Eternity.

27:45.300 --> 27:46.900
Is there just nothing for attorney?

27:50.060 --> 27:51.140
Oh, it's early in the season.

27:51.140 --> 27:52.380
There might not be any attorneys.

27:52.380 --> 27:53.700
There's just one above all.

27:53.700 --> 27:58.120
Yeah, okay, so there might not be any eternity right now.

27:58.120 --> 28:00.180
Eternity doesn't technically exist.

28:00.180 --> 28:03.860
So eternity is after celestial, but one above all is top 500.

28:03.860 --> 28:08.120
So because there isn't enough, there isn't 500, more than 500 players in eternity.

28:08.120 --> 28:09.920
Right now it's probably probably celestial.

28:09.920 --> 28:13.560
So yeah, okay, that makes sense.

28:13.560 --> 28:20.800
Um, I don't know, like I will say I'm very appreciative to see a list like this where

28:20.800 --> 28:22.800
they're like, yeah, here's all the accounts we've been.

28:22.800 --> 28:30.720
all of them, boom, and they just show you all of them. But I am a little nervous on the whole.

28:31.360 --> 28:35.120
This isn't the first time we've been told, like, oh, we're doing these changes, like,

28:35.120 --> 28:39.680
don't worry, we're going to make it better. And then it doesn't really get better, or the systems

28:39.680 --> 28:45.680
that we said that we're going to be coming don't actually show up. And I know those things take

28:45.680 --> 28:50.560
time, but that's also something I feel like they could tell us that they're still in development,

28:50.560 --> 28:56.480
like they're still working on it, you know. And maybe maybe I'm crazy, but I think that's pretty

28:56.480 --> 29:00.800
unless this is literally just this weekend, like 500 accounts over the weekend, that's it.

29:01.520 --> 29:05.040
This seems like a really short list, you know.

29:08.080 --> 29:11.280
The first thing about hardware bands, hardware bands are typically very

29:11.920 --> 29:18.640
severe and companies do not like doing them. But I think we've gotten to a point with gaming where

29:18.640 --> 29:24.980
especially in free-to-play games, you need to be more strict because they can just spam accounts, you know?

29:26.680 --> 29:30.560
Last thing also, I know this isn't totally pertaining to it. I actually grabbed...

29:31.900 --> 29:34.320
Where is it? I've grabbed this video from Rao,

29:35.840 --> 29:37.840
and

29:39.520 --> 29:42.160
this isn't totally pertaining to the cheater thing.

29:42.160 --> 29:45.740
I'm gonna let the video play really quick, and I'll explain why I grabbed it after.

29:45.740 --> 29:48.740
Handled right now is unacceptable. Please give me one minute of your day.

29:48.740 --> 29:52.740
The way that Throws are being handled right now is unacceptable. Please give me one minute of your time.

29:52.740 --> 29:56.740
I'm not talking about someone having a bad game and I'm not talking about someone picking a hero you don't want.

29:56.740 --> 30:02.740
I'm talking about people who get tilted, stop playing, and AFK and spawn to purely ruin the experience for others.

30:02.740 --> 30:06.740
The devs told us two and a half months ago that they were going to implement better systems.

30:06.740 --> 30:12.740
They promised better systems that were going to detect throwers, manual reviews, and refund of points if a thrower was found on your team.

30:12.740 --> 30:13.740
on your team.

30:13.740 --> 30:17.620
And I can tell you right now personally, I've had like three or four games like this.

30:17.620 --> 30:22.220
Because it's like streamer, although like they're, they're, they soft play is like

30:22.220 --> 30:23.220
the way they do it.

30:23.220 --> 30:25.540
Like they'll just like run around, but they're not actually playing the game.

30:25.540 --> 30:27.140
None of those people ever got banned, by the way.

30:27.140 --> 30:28.820
All season later, where is it at?

30:28.820 --> 30:31.100
I haven't had this happen one time.

30:31.100 --> 30:33.020
Down below is exactly what I'm talking about.

30:33.020 --> 30:36.580
Just yesterday, this widow lost an embarrassing 1v1 on Luna.

30:36.580 --> 30:40.660
Our team called them out on a bad ultimate that they had and they started flaming everyone

30:40.660 --> 30:43.040
and switch to Widow to AFK and spawn.

30:43.040 --> 30:44.780
Funny enough, when I went back to the footage,

30:44.780 --> 30:46.260
they were also potentially spawning.

30:46.260 --> 30:47.940
Yo, thank you Big 50 Gifted on the YouTube side.

30:47.940 --> 30:49.460
Holy shit, hold on, let me get through this video.

30:49.460 --> 30:52.060
W50 Gifted, thank you so much to ourself, W to ourself.

30:52.060 --> 30:53.900
Soft spotting their heels on Luna.

30:53.900 --> 30:56.260
Not only were they throwing, but they were hard cheating,

30:56.260 --> 30:57.900
and nothing was done about it.

30:57.900 --> 30:58.940
They're level 100.

30:58.940 --> 31:01.260
Who knows how many people they have done this shit to?

31:01.260 --> 31:03.980
And if the system can't punish something this obvious,

31:03.980 --> 31:04.860
what is it doing?

31:04.860 --> 31:06.620
We don't care about skins or events.

31:06.620 --> 31:08.100
We feel ignored, and if you agree,

31:08.100 --> 31:09.420
I need you to share this video.

31:09.420 --> 31:14.020
not just like it and move on, we need to share this conversation, talk about it and put pressure

31:14.020 --> 31:18.340
on the dev team to actually do something because if we don't, nothing.

31:18.340 --> 31:19.340
So there's a few things here.

31:19.340 --> 31:22.540
There's a lot of things to break down, right?

31:22.540 --> 31:27.040
Throwing in a lot of ways is a little subjective, right?

31:27.040 --> 31:32.860
Where people think like people who just have a bad game is throwing.

31:32.860 --> 31:37.380
While other people think it's like sitting in spawn or just jumping off the map, that

31:37.380 --> 31:38.380
one's a little more obvious.

31:38.380 --> 31:41.980
But it's the same thing with like cheating, right? It's just that's the woman. That's more obvious

31:42.300 --> 31:47.860
People saw through all the time, right? They saw through all the time. But how do you deal with that?

31:48.240 --> 31:54.100
Right, how do you how do you stop it? How do you ban them other than hard-throwing, right?

31:54.100 --> 32:01.500
And I don't think they're all getting manually reviewed considering that we now have the PlayStation numbers millions of people play this game every day

32:02.380 --> 32:04.380
not millions people every day, but like

32:04.380 --> 32:10.320
Millions of you are playing every week considering you have Xbox PlayStation and Steam with its concurrent so millions people are playing a week

32:10.680 --> 32:12.680
Like I'd say probably

32:12.720 --> 32:19.340
Millions. Yes, it's PlayStation release that it had it has like 1.56 or something million players

32:20.220 --> 32:22.640
Well, like a week playing rivals

32:24.140 --> 32:31.820
Now if you take that just PlayStation you also have Xbox right and so they we can say that the game is much bigger on console

32:31.820 --> 32:36.860
And then it is also I think I just realized I think I didn't turn my ads from back from yesterday. Hold on

32:36.860 --> 32:43.340
I was running a WC Esther. Oh, yeah. Oh my god. I was good. You guys were getting fucking pummeled. Oh god. Apologies

32:46.860 --> 32:49.620
Sorry, you guys are getting fucking pummeled from the

32:51.260 --> 32:54.860
From the ads from the from the last one my bad they're fixed now

32:56.780 --> 32:58.620
That said though

32:58.620 --> 33:02.220
Yeah, like throwing is a problem, right? It is an issue, but

33:03.100 --> 33:05.100
There's another issue as well

33:05.580 --> 33:10.940
And I'm not really trying to pick on route here, but I do see a lot of videos from around not trying to pick on them

33:10.940 --> 33:13.980
I do like them. We've I met him in like apex years ago

33:16.980 --> 33:22.100
There's very rarely any good content coming out of rivals these days

33:23.900 --> 33:25.900
And

33:25.900 --> 33:31.520
You could say for good reason. Why would you even there's not a whole lot of good to talk about I?

33:32.100 --> 33:35.020
Personally sort of disagree. I think the dyno was a great opportunity

33:35.020 --> 33:42.040
I saw a couple cool last videos like on tick tock where like people were recreating like Godzilla fucking edits for like dyno

33:42.040 --> 33:44.040
Highlights fucking sick, right?

33:44.620 --> 33:50.900
Ignite's been fun. Well, guess what though, right? I won't you could say Ignite's been fun. I didn't watch any ignite personally

33:50.900 --> 33:57.780
One, because their drops just suck, and I'm so sick of the drops being so bad for rivals

33:57.780 --> 33:58.780
at this point.

33:58.780 --> 34:04.340
And two, don't forget, the week the dyno released, every pro player was on Twitter and on Reddit

34:04.340 --> 34:08.540
talking about how fucking dog shit the game is with the dyno, immediately calling for it

34:08.540 --> 34:09.540
to be nerfed.

34:09.540 --> 34:10.540
Like, into the ground.

34:10.540 --> 34:12.900
Don't get me wrong, the dyno was fucking strong.

34:12.900 --> 34:20.100
Like, if you want to ban them in your game short, but like, we can't have nothing.

34:20.100 --> 34:24.920
You know and the reason why I talk about like I don't think it's a good. That's not a good sign

34:25.260 --> 34:27.260
that's not a good sign that like

34:27.840 --> 34:34.200
Everything is doom and gloom everything sucks and we don't really ever appreciate the good and this is a good opportunity to well

34:34.200 --> 34:36.780
this is actually bad cheating is actually bad and

34:39.060 --> 34:44.600
Throwing is actually bad hundred percent, but there's also not really a whole lot of good either

34:45.300 --> 34:47.300
you know

34:47.660 --> 34:49.660
And I think that

34:50.100 --> 34:58.700
People who a game that's like more casual like rivals already has a bit of a bad perception from the outside for its community

34:59.260 --> 35:01.260
rightfully so in a lot of ways

35:02.820 --> 35:06.940
But you can fix that right it can be fixed it takes time

35:07.420 --> 35:12.380
But also there's a lot of people that probably will never come back because they don't want to like load up the game again

35:12.660 --> 35:17.140
Get flamed on day one trying to play a new hero for fun and

35:17.140 --> 35:20.580
And then go all right. I'm just never playing that shit again

35:21.260 --> 35:25.460
You know like there's no reason and you can't get them on the competitive side

35:25.460 --> 35:29.040
We can't make them hardcore because well first off on your competitive side

35:29.100 --> 35:37.080
The game is inherently a lot of ways not competitive to the ignite side doesn't really do what it needs to do to get bring people in or new people in

35:38.300 --> 35:40.300
and three

35:40.300 --> 35:43.980
uh...

35:43.980 --> 35:46.920
the balance of the game

35:46.920 --> 35:48.580
is a little over the place

35:48.580 --> 35:51.280
right your pro players as any of every character in the sun needs to be

35:51.280 --> 35:52.860
nerfed

35:52.860 --> 35:55.120
to some extent they're fucking right

35:55.120 --> 35:57.500
like the fact that the next is gone untouched

35:57.500 --> 35:59.600
the fact that black cat when untouched

35:59.600 --> 36:01.920
the fact that gambit is still a permit

36:01.920 --> 36:06.560
proves a lot of those things

36:06.560 --> 36:10.200
anything new and fun and shiny that comes along gets destroyed

36:10.200 --> 36:16.700
And also cool, like unique parts that made rivals very enjoyable to like work with other players with like team ups are really just kind of gone.

36:17.000 --> 36:22.200
All the team ups are either kind of like really not that useful anymore or like not that good.

36:23.000 --> 36:25.700
So that said, right?

36:25.700 --> 36:28.100
Like I'm going to just circle it all back.

36:28.100 --> 36:32.400
I said that I wish there was more positive stuff around rivals, right?

36:33.000 --> 36:39.400
And I think people don't understand how much damage everything constantly being doom and gloom will do.

36:39.400 --> 36:47.560
Because in a moment like this where doom and gloom is required it is good to call out that the game is being one ramp with cheaters

36:47.560 --> 36:50.180
It is good to call out that nothing is happening about

36:51.000 --> 36:55.020
Throwers it is good to call out that that seems that we were promised that there would be

36:56.800 --> 37:02.880
Like compensation points when people throw games or you face a cheater right you get points back

37:02.880 --> 37:08.220
You get compensation like the game goes. Hey like that wasn't your fault. Someone was cheating our bad. We'll catch up next time

37:08.220 --> 37:12.300
Here's your points back. Those are good things to call the game out on

37:13.420 --> 37:16.620
But it's all the always bad now

37:17.020 --> 37:24.220
It's always always always everything sucks everything's bad and there's not any good and like I think we had a good

37:24.300 --> 37:26.540
Opportunity for some good at the start of the season with the dyno

37:26.540 --> 37:32.780
And I think I just want to check that I think we're kind of ruining our own stuff a little bit

37:34.700 --> 37:36.380
with

37:36.380 --> 37:41.920
Like at the time we had something fun that comes along we immediately all go this is broken this sucks

37:41.920 --> 37:44.700
So what fuck you we need is nerfed in the ground. Oh, okay

37:44.700 --> 37:48.440
We need to perm a bandit and now he's perm a band every game and also it's just not that great

37:48.440 --> 37:52.720
It's because of it and get about engagement. I understand trust me. I've been in the game for a long time

37:52.720 --> 37:59.640
I know how engagement works, but like that's what I also mean though where you can farm that engagement into the ground

37:59.680 --> 38:01.680
But that well will dry up

38:01.680 --> 38:07.280
The well will dry up at some point. You just don't see the bottom of the well yet

38:07.280 --> 38:12.680
And I'm trying to tell you stop drinking from the well or stop pulling so much water from the well as fast as you are

38:13.400 --> 38:15.400
Because you will run out of water

38:15.960 --> 38:22.320
It will happen. It needs to be sustainable and for moments like this where genuinely you do need to call out these bad things

38:24.240 --> 38:26.240
It almost

38:26.240 --> 38:32.860
invalidates how serious it is because it's like everything is bad everything is shit

38:33.360 --> 38:35.360
Do you get what I'm saying?

38:37.640 --> 38:45.160
Anyways, anyways point being I really do hope rivals actually steps up a little bit more with the cheater stuff

38:45.160 --> 38:47.160
I hope they said I'm more with the thrower stuff. I

38:47.880 --> 38:51.560
Hope that if you heard if you heard me talking about the drop stuff in the past

38:51.560 --> 38:54.560
I really hope they start leaning in and actually supporting their own community more

38:54.560 --> 38:59.300
Because like I know what the budget looks like for sponsors. I know what it looks like

38:59.300 --> 39:00.560
It's sort of every season

39:00.560 --> 39:06.560
they pay big money to bring every streamer in under the sun to come play the game and I've been I've been keeping an

39:06.560 --> 39:08.640
Eye on the numbers. I see the viewership numbers

39:08.640 --> 39:12.280
it's getting lower every season just by a little bit and

39:12.800 --> 39:15.960
It's good to bring new big names in and bring in, you know

39:16.200 --> 39:20.380
Giant streamers that play other games to come in and like show people the new season that is a good thing

39:20.380 --> 39:22.960
But they're not investing in their current creators either

39:22.960 --> 39:29.160
right and one of the best ways you can invest in your current creators is for example drops because then

39:29.400 --> 39:34.920
People that actually support the game always know oh I can go to so-and-so creator or I can go to so-and-so creator or do

39:34.920 --> 39:39.160
Whatever or for ignite is another good example getting people in the door with ignite right

39:39.920 --> 39:44.940
Getting people in the door with ignite to actually care about the game and to actually start to understand like oh

39:45.040 --> 39:50.940
There's more to the game than just me running down and quick playing tolling w then dying right those are all good things

39:50.940 --> 39:54.780
you could do, but rivals isn't doing any of them at the moment. They're just kind of like stepping

39:54.780 --> 40:02.060
on the gas, more skins, more content, more skins, another hero, more skins, more skins.

40:03.260 --> 40:06.300
Cool event, but like it wasn't that good. Like the Loki event is a good example.

40:08.220 --> 40:11.500
Step on the gas, more and more and more skins, you know what I mean? And I'm like,

40:14.060 --> 40:19.500
we have to take care of the base. We're at, we're a year and a half in, we have to start

40:19.500 --> 40:24.780
taking care of the base of the game, so that the rest of it can grow.

40:24.780 --> 40:27.700
And this is a good example of taking care of the base.

40:27.700 --> 40:30.020
Does that make sense?

40:30.020 --> 40:31.020
Cool.

40:31.020 --> 40:34.500
Anyways, I know that might have been a little bit high level, I know that might have sounded

40:34.500 --> 40:39.580
a little bit wonky to some of you, but I felt like it was very important to at least talk

40:39.580 --> 40:45.060
about because there is a lot of good, and I think Rivals is a lot of things that I've

40:45.060 --> 40:49.300
always wished games would even do, and they do do those things, but that doesn't mean

40:49.300 --> 40:58.780
we shouldn't give them passes on not doing the basic things that could do great services

40:58.780 --> 41:07.300
and good for their game and for their community. Anyways, sorry about that. Locks me in the

41:07.300 --> 41:10.540
two months. Durace will be giving me the big 50 gifts on these, so I appreciate you. Sorry,

41:10.540 --> 41:14.300
I was mid-yap. Plumpy thing in the three months. Bean thing in the three months. Streaming

41:14.300 --> 41:20.300
in the seven months. Vincent with the big super chat. Appreciate you, dude. Thank you.

41:21.260 --> 41:27.260
Oh, yeah. That's a good example. Really quick. Black Widow has never gotten changed. Black Widow

41:27.820 --> 41:35.740
is arguably the character that needs the biggest rework and has gotten nothing. And you can't,

41:35.740 --> 41:41.420
you can't give her more damage. You could, but nothing. There's nothing there, you know, exacting

41:41.420 --> 41:48.100
the prime. I'm only spending the 10 months, especially the 9 months, I appreciate you.

41:48.100 --> 41:53.100
So seems like they need to slow down on pumping out content. They are focused too much on

41:53.100 --> 41:58.940
skins and content, then focusing on making the game playable. Maybe spend a season fixing

41:58.940 --> 41:59.940
the game.

41:59.940 --> 42:08.300
See, the only thing that scares me about that, right, is I played Rainbow Six Siege back

42:08.300 --> 42:13.260
in the day and there was a season called Operation Health way back when and I

42:13.260 --> 42:16.700
remember Operation Health was like the supposed to be the God said in season

42:16.700 --> 42:21.260
and everyone was like oh my god this is gonna save us and then it was ass it was

42:21.260 --> 42:27.940
really bad it was so fucking dog shit and he was that was actually around the

42:27.940 --> 42:38.260
time I stopped playing so I get that but I don't think it

42:38.260 --> 42:41.580
It would be impossible for rivals to do both.

42:41.580 --> 42:44.980
I don't think that they, I think that they've already made their decision.

42:44.980 --> 42:51.260
They have to stay foot on the gas for content, however, that's not that they can't do the

42:51.260 --> 42:53.460
other things too.

42:53.460 --> 42:55.980
It's not like they can.

42:55.980 --> 43:00.460
So anyways.

43:00.460 --> 43:02.860
They need to do full hero reworks like Dota would do?

43:02.860 --> 43:04.940
I mean, a lot of games do reworks.

43:04.940 --> 43:09.280
Let's go one year subscribe and today's my 21st birthday.

43:09.280 --> 43:11.340
Well, yo, happy birthday, yo, Chapman.

43:11.340 --> 43:13.300
It feels birthday mint for all of that.

43:13.300 --> 43:14.860
Appreciate you being here.

43:14.860 --> 43:17.300
Appreciate you two or three months of and and how

43:17.300 --> 43:19.820
a birthday did.

43:19.820 --> 43:23.140
So yeah, I don't know.

43:23.140 --> 43:25.900
And that's that's where we're at.

43:25.900 --> 43:28.940
It feels like whatever we do, the fan base will never be happy.

43:28.940 --> 43:32.140
Well, that's what kind of what I meant by, you know, like,

43:32.140 --> 43:33.140
It's time to...

43:33.540 --> 43:36.240
There's certain parts that are good.

43:37.540 --> 43:39.840
And they need to be shown that they're good.

43:40.840 --> 43:45.040
Meanwhile, the parts that aren't as good, you know?

43:45.240 --> 43:47.840
Like, those need to be addressed when it happens.

43:47.840 --> 43:48.640
Do you know what I mean?

43:50.740 --> 43:52.740
Did you cover Evil J3? No, is there...

43:52.740 --> 43:53.740
Do you guys have, like...

43:53.740 --> 43:55.940
Is there like codes of Evil J3?

43:55.940 --> 43:56.940
Can I find it?

43:59.240 --> 44:00.540
If I just type in the name...

44:02.140 --> 44:29.200
is it this guy? Nope. Or he's banned, I don't know. Yeah, I don't have like, I don't have

44:29.200 --> 44:30.200
How many specific codes?

44:30.200 --> 44:36.200
Like, I haven't been on this week, you know?

44:36.200 --> 44:54.200
Let me see.

44:54.200 --> 44:56.800
Kingsman had evil... or a game, sort of, evil J3?

44:56.800 --> 44:58.800
Well, how would I even find this though?

45:05.080 --> 45:07.440
Yeah, isn't he another account? What's his other account?

45:12.000 --> 45:14.800
Who has other accounts called? Hitscan.

45:17.600 --> 45:19.600
Wait, he's not...

45:24.080 --> 45:26.080
He changes his name?

45:26.800 --> 45:32.680
He's at his hitscan account, it's gone.

45:32.680 --> 45:34.640
He changed his name on it?

45:34.640 --> 45:35.960
Or that, or he removed me.

45:35.960 --> 45:43.400
Or I'm not typing in right.

45:43.400 --> 45:45.400
This one?

45:45.400 --> 45:48.040
Nope.

45:48.040 --> 45:54.400
This can?

45:54.400 --> 46:19.120
I think you removed me feels bad inside the full name is it this one she am one

46:24.400 --> 46:38.400
That's the man. Did he remove me? He did remove me. Wow, that's kind of messed up, but alright.

46:38.400 --> 46:49.400
That's kind of messed up, but alright. Cool. These two famous now.

46:49.400 --> 47:02.720
to be fair that's his alt account, that's the account I had him at and on.

47:02.720 --> 47:11.800
I didn't have his main added, because we went to play one night on his alt for the tournament.

47:11.800 --> 47:16.880
Because I played on wash and I would always do them on cast and it feels right.

47:16.880 --> 47:18.880
I think it's your one. I really think mine.

47:21.640 --> 47:27.200
All right, well, let's just go play a couple ranked games, I guess.

47:29.280 --> 47:33.920
You want J3's reaction? I don't want to watch J3's reaction. I already kind of said what I wanted to say on it.

47:38.800 --> 47:40.800
All right, let's go.

48:16.880 --> 48:30.200
It's only 15 months, I appreciate it.

48:30.200 --> 48:46.320
The big rocket leak news.

48:46.320 --> 48:48.480
Is that what you link speed?

48:48.480 --> 48:49.800
Rocket League and New Era?

48:49.800 --> 48:50.800
What is that?

48:56.300 --> 48:58.040
Like the game with two hundred and six months in advance,

48:58.040 --> 48:58.880
appreciate it.

48:58.880 --> 49:00.380
The new house found.

49:09.500 --> 49:12.300
They're updating Rocket League to Unreal Engine 6.

49:12.300 --> 49:15.460
It'll be the first game on Unreal Engine 6.

49:16.320 --> 49:31.560
I feel like I'd be nervous about that as a as a Rocket League player no

49:31.560 --> 49:38.560
cuz like you're the first game to go over you're probably it's probably gonna be very buggy

49:38.560 --> 49:42.560
it's probably gonna have issues you know might break some core game mechanics

49:46.320 --> 49:52.320
It looks clean, I mean no one said it looked clean.

49:52.320 --> 49:57.120
Wait, I just realized, hang on, isn't the new Halo game getting built in Unreal Engine

49:57.120 --> 49:58.120
5?

49:58.120 --> 49:59.560
And Unreal Engine 6 is right there?

49:59.560 --> 50:12.560
Didn't they just start building it probably recently too?

50:12.560 --> 50:18.840
Am I actually gonna get a dino game?

50:18.840 --> 50:19.840
No way.

50:19.840 --> 50:20.840
Wait, what are you doing?

50:20.840 --> 50:21.840
Wait, we're the gambit player.

50:21.840 --> 50:22.940
I can't be a gambit.

50:22.940 --> 50:23.960
What can I guess?

50:23.960 --> 50:32.840
Wait, am I actually gonna get a dino game?

50:32.840 --> 50:33.840
No way.

50:33.840 --> 50:36.840
What can I guess?

50:39.840 --> 50:42.840
Wait, am I actually going to get a dino game? No way.

50:42.840 --> 50:44.840
Y'all are so chocolate.

50:44.840 --> 50:56.640
It's a partial proprietary engine for the game and you have an update for the game, meaning

50:56.640 --> 51:00.240
custom game loads and maths can be made in game.

51:00.240 --> 51:05.560
It's been made in-house and you have to remember Rokic League is owned by Epic Games, the creators

51:05.560 --> 51:10.700
of Unreal Engine as a whole so it should be heavily optimized, but currently RL is on

51:10.700 --> 51:26.620
Oh! It's on Unlunge in 3? Really? That's crazy, actually. Uh-oh, guys, we have Luna

51:26.620 --> 51:34.940
Ultron, Triple DPS Solo Dino. We might be dead. Guys, it might be over.

51:40.700 --> 51:47.700
30 seconds before you attack. Get ready.

51:47.700 --> 51:51.700
I hear that your friend's main girl makes them epic nicks to hate.

51:51.700 --> 51:54.700
We might be cooked.

51:54.700 --> 51:57.700
Think that I could make it a turn.

51:57.700 --> 52:05.700
But all the cheers got banned, right? So at least I shouldn't be playing against any cheers today.

52:05.700 --> 52:09.700
The battle starts in five. Four. Three. Two. One.

52:09.700 --> 52:11.700
Right

52:39.700 --> 52:41.700
Oh

52:51.300 --> 52:53.300
I'm dead

52:59.580 --> 53:01.580
When my Luna's crazy

53:09.700 --> 53:35.880
I'm just a big fat dino. I can't I can't see a stop getting shot

53:39.700 --> 53:49.700
Oh, I didn't get him, but I didn't.

54:39.700 --> 54:41.700
Oh

55:09.700 --> 55:19.700
of

55:19.700 --> 55:24.700
health

55:24.700 --> 55:37.700
of

55:37.700 --> 55:52.460
guys low. I don't know how to ammo. I'm still holding though. Wait, why do I have to look

55:52.460 --> 55:54.460
I can't just press it

56:22.460 --> 56:33.460
of

56:33.460 --> 56:55.900
I'm just getting headshot costly cuz there's no other damage reduction other than me

57:03.460 --> 57:10.460
You need to hit the flank here.

57:10.460 --> 57:23.460
I'm just dead again.

57:23.460 --> 57:25.460
I

57:35.620 --> 57:37.620
Go again

57:48.220 --> 57:50.220
Nice rest time

57:53.460 --> 57:59.460
the

57:59.460 --> 58:15.740
final as a

58:15.740 --> 58:17.740
Keep up

58:45.740 --> 59:01.700
Dude, I, I just, just gonna walk that and fall over.

59:01.700 --> 59:06.140
But you know what, I'm still, I'm still holding my own, hello?

59:06.140 --> 59:07.140
1v5?

59:07.140 --> 59:08.140
Excuse you?

59:08.140 --> 59:09.140
Average VP play?

59:09.140 --> 59:10.140
Oh!

59:10.140 --> 59:32.140
These ults are interesting.

59:32.140 --> 59:52.140
Dude, her ults are so late every time, like, I don't know what to do, man, I do everything

59:52.140 --> 01:00:00.740
I can on the solo dino, man, I'm trying, but at least I get to play the dino, so you know

01:00:00.740 --> 01:00:03.740
one so relinings

01:00:15.940 --> 01:00:18.740
he just didn't touch he's invisible okay

01:00:18.740 --> 01:00:20.740
nice job buddy

01:00:24.740 --> 01:00:26.740
oh it's kind of cold in here

01:00:26.740 --> 01:00:28.740
it's my AC up

01:00:28.740 --> 01:00:33.420
wait it's not even turned out what the hell just fucking cold I'm gonna turn my

01:00:33.420 --> 01:00:36.700
I'm gonna close my door

01:00:58.740 --> 01:01:27.540
What the fuck what happened to my game oh I'm just in the fog

01:01:27.540 --> 01:01:47.240
walk.

01:01:47.240 --> 01:01:49.240
On triple support?

01:01:49.240 --> 01:01:52.240
Lovely.

01:02:52.240 --> 01:02:55.240
Struggling in 12 months

01:03:22.240 --> 01:03:24.240
I

01:03:35.240 --> 01:03:39.920
Got him. Yeah, I don't know how we're making it work when we're making it work

01:03:52.240 --> 01:03:54.240
coming

01:03:54.240 --> 01:04:23.240
I know gober

01:04:23.240 --> 01:04:44.480
I can't grab the pack.

01:04:44.480 --> 01:04:45.480
Wait.

01:04:45.480 --> 01:04:48.480
The hell long they had a magic is 1-6.

01:04:56.480 --> 01:04:58.480
How long has that guy been there?

01:05:15.480 --> 01:05:28.680
Well, we have Nils.

01:05:28.680 --> 01:05:30.680
Oh, we did have Ulta, just didn't use it.

01:05:30.680 --> 01:05:31.680
Feels good.

01:05:31.680 --> 01:05:32.680
Oh, 1v6.

01:05:32.680 --> 01:05:33.680
All right, fed.

01:05:33.680 --> 01:05:34.680
You know what, I've got eye-witness.

01:05:34.680 --> 01:05:39.940
You know what I've got I wouldn't ease

01:05:39.940 --> 01:05:40.940
Nice.

01:05:40.940 --> 01:05:41.940
Oh!

01:05:41.940 --> 01:05:46.940
I'm gonna low, I'm gonna low.

01:05:46.940 --> 01:05:51.940
I grabbed her, but...

01:05:51.940 --> 01:05:52.940
No.

01:05:52.940 --> 01:05:59.940
I'm gonna low, I'm gonna low.

01:05:59.940 --> 01:06:05.560
I grabbed her but no

01:06:15.080 --> 01:06:17.900
That went so badly I wanted to jump to the other side of the portal

01:06:19.140 --> 01:06:22.540
Hoping that he would be there and I could go crazy with my ult

01:06:24.360 --> 01:06:26.360
Feels bad

01:06:59.940 --> 01:07:20.940
I'm not here, you're right.

01:07:20.940 --> 01:07:27.940
Well, good. I think Rogue's going gamuts and play. That's been my way.

01:07:50.940 --> 01:07:58.620
Wait, what'd I do?

01:07:58.620 --> 01:08:02.100
Hey, thank you for the love of the month.

01:08:02.100 --> 01:08:03.620
Appreciate it, dude.

01:08:03.620 --> 01:08:08.340
Oh, the fact that if you use your Prime sub every month, which is free with your Amazon

01:08:08.340 --> 01:08:13.620
Prime if you already have it, you can sub your favorite shimmer for free with zero ads.

01:08:13.620 --> 01:08:36.540
It's spilling.

01:08:36.540 --> 01:08:39.700
Madness in the prime, walling in the prime, filing reading in the five months, launch

01:08:39.700 --> 01:08:43.380
It's in months all you enjoying your ad for reviewing now

01:08:48.860 --> 01:08:53.180
I'm gonna come in from the side I'm gonna come in from the side

01:09:02.740 --> 01:09:04.740
Dino time oh god

01:09:09.700 --> 01:09:15.540
My points

01:09:15.540 --> 01:09:20.500
Swirling front of me with no giftin

01:09:20.500 --> 01:09:32.580
What happened?

01:09:32.580 --> 01:09:39.220
They didn't see the flying dino coming in

01:09:39.220 --> 01:09:46.220
No one ever suspects the flying dot, you know.

01:09:57.220 --> 01:10:01.220
Alright, we're in.

01:10:01.220 --> 01:10:06.220
Yo, thanks for the super chat, by the way, appreciate it.

01:10:09.220 --> 01:10:12.820
Get back in my first place and the team has our team's Ultron's one of the

01:10:12.820 --> 01:10:15.380
restrained portal at our spawn door off the map.

01:10:17.380 --> 01:10:18.020
Wait, what?

01:10:25.380 --> 01:10:26.420
It's hilarious actually.

01:10:26.740 --> 01:10:28.580
Yo, Rejected Ball with the Five Gifted!

01:10:28.900 --> 01:10:30.500
WB, I appreciate a big Five Gifted.

01:10:30.500 --> 01:10:31.700
Hello, what's up, how are you?

01:10:32.820 --> 01:10:33.320
Hmm.

01:10:39.220 --> 01:10:56.420
Uh, what's she thinking about him?

01:10:56.420 --> 01:11:02.340
We're gonna have her dead, I know.

01:11:02.340 --> 01:11:05.740
Surely I'll get an online.

01:11:05.740 --> 01:11:06.740
Why is my teammate's name?

01:11:06.740 --> 01:11:07.740
I love bald men.

01:11:07.740 --> 01:11:12.700
I'm gonna finish this match

01:11:19.420 --> 01:11:21.420
Joy in the prime

01:11:31.060 --> 01:11:33.060
Hmm

01:11:37.740 --> 01:11:45.660
Three bin mag is the last one. Do you uh do you want a mag bin at the end?

01:11:53.020 --> 01:11:55.660
Yeah we have an Iron Man.

01:12:07.740 --> 01:12:24.940
I feel like we should have been a mag for our Iron Man here, but where do I know?

01:12:24.940 --> 01:12:35.780
It's got no time.

01:12:35.780 --> 01:12:37.780
They have to have a dino if they've been Emma

01:12:58.100 --> 01:13:00.980
Go drinking crime I should feel good when I tell this kind of played

01:13:01.940 --> 01:13:03.940
thing

01:13:03.940 --> 01:13:07.840
Anything dino and a thing that our dino mag is pretty decent

01:13:15.380 --> 01:13:17.980
So they're gonna have a dino you uh, do you play think

01:13:19.700 --> 01:13:23.780
No, not really to be honest. I play like mag on a string

01:13:26.220 --> 01:13:28.780
Unfortunately, well, you'll be fine

01:13:30.740 --> 01:13:32.740
Just trying to eat

01:13:33.940 --> 01:13:38.940
Open the door, get on the floor, everybody walk the dinosaur!

01:13:41.940 --> 01:13:43.940
Off to a good start.

01:13:47.940 --> 01:13:49.940
Off to a good start today.

01:13:50.940 --> 01:13:52.940
They have a kitty cat.

01:13:53.940 --> 01:13:55.940
Hulk.

01:13:55.940 --> 01:13:57.940
Got one in my sights

01:14:01.460 --> 01:14:03.460
I'm slow already

01:14:08.340 --> 01:14:10.340
There's a VP on mine, I guess

01:14:19.300 --> 01:14:21.300
I'm on everyone

01:14:21.300 --> 01:14:22.300
I'm Mag'in.

01:14:22.300 --> 01:14:33.300
So, he's gonna be behind us on your record?

01:14:33.300 --> 01:14:36.660
Dude, Mag is just legitimately food for me.

01:14:36.660 --> 01:14:38.660
He's back here on me.

01:14:38.660 --> 01:14:40.700
I can't believe they banned Emma and I don't have a dyno.

01:14:40.700 --> 01:14:41.700
Like, what are these guys doing?

01:14:41.700 --> 01:14:42.700
Is that a Mag?

01:14:42.700 --> 01:14:43.700
Probably not.

01:14:43.700 --> 01:14:44.700
I fucking hate this picture.

01:14:44.700 --> 01:14:45.700
There we go.

01:14:45.700 --> 01:14:46.700
Nice.

01:14:46.700 --> 01:14:47.700
Hello.

01:14:47.700 --> 01:14:48.700
There we go. Nice.

01:14:51.200 --> 01:14:52.300
Oh, they went spider-ditty.

01:14:53.000 --> 01:14:53.800
I might need to swap.

01:14:59.700 --> 01:15:01.200
What is their- Oh, they have one healer.

01:15:05.800 --> 01:15:06.300
I got him!

01:15:07.000 --> 01:15:07.500
Yummy.

01:15:08.900 --> 01:15:10.200
Yum yum yum yum yum yum yum.

01:15:11.300 --> 01:15:12.700
No, rush it guys, you have one healer.

01:15:12.700 --> 01:15:42.380
I love the classic 4 DPS solo tank Hulk

01:15:42.380 --> 01:15:50.020
See you had a prime this whole time you could have been subbing your favorite shimmer for free

01:15:50.020 --> 01:15:52.620
getting out of free viewing you didn't even know it

01:15:52.620 --> 01:15:54.620
I

01:15:58.620 --> 01:16:00.620
Have them

01:16:02.620 --> 01:16:04.620
Okay

01:16:08.620 --> 01:16:12.860
Why me again? Oh, no, that's personal now

01:16:12.860 --> 01:16:19.860
What did he do to you man?

01:16:19.860 --> 01:16:21.860
He exiled me three times.

01:16:21.860 --> 01:16:23.860
Ah, fair enough then.

01:16:23.860 --> 01:16:28.860
Oh my god, it was a bait.

01:16:28.860 --> 01:16:32.860
What the fuck's going on up here?

01:16:32.860 --> 01:16:39.860
I'm gonna eat that ass.

01:16:39.860 --> 01:16:54.620
They're actually legitimately running four dive DPS, a Hulk, and one support, ah.

01:16:54.620 --> 01:16:57.220
This is wild.

01:16:57.220 --> 01:16:59.020
I'm so glad I got the dinosaur.

01:16:59.020 --> 01:17:01.020
They're just here for the ride.

01:17:12.020 --> 01:17:14.020
Nah, even if they go rock it would be fine.

01:17:15.020 --> 01:17:17.020
I eat them.

01:17:29.020 --> 01:17:31.020
Hmm

01:17:48.020 --> 01:17:50.020
Hey

01:17:51.360 --> 01:17:53.460
I mean get me CC man

01:17:59.020 --> 01:18:03.020
Okay, I have ult. It's dino time.

01:18:08.020 --> 01:18:10.020
Okay, they have a second support now.

01:18:10.020 --> 01:18:13.020
Or no, they just went laning in my lane.

01:18:16.020 --> 01:18:18.020
Listen, I thought they had...

01:18:18.020 --> 01:18:22.020
I thought they still had white fox, not luna.

01:18:22.020 --> 01:18:25.020
I would back up. I'm WKM. You can't stop me.

01:18:29.020 --> 01:18:31.020
I

01:18:44.900 --> 01:18:46.900
Bitch ass

01:18:59.020 --> 01:19:06.020
I'm gonna get this Luna.

01:19:06.020 --> 01:19:13.020
There's one.

01:19:13.020 --> 01:19:20.020
There's one.

01:19:20.020 --> 01:19:37.420
The dyno is not afraid

01:19:50.020 --> 01:19:52.020
One

01:20:08.980 --> 01:20:10.980
Healing up

01:20:16.780 --> 01:20:18.780
Top of that

01:20:20.020 --> 01:20:23.020
Yeah, try to knock them down, but it didn't work.

01:20:26.520 --> 01:20:28.020
I'm coming for you.

01:20:35.520 --> 01:20:37.520
Come here, bitch! We're going!

01:20:47.520 --> 01:20:48.520
Where are you going?

01:20:49.520 --> 01:20:50.520
Come back here.

01:20:56.520 --> 01:20:57.520
Great. I'm okay.

01:21:09.520 --> 01:21:10.520
You're coming in.

01:21:11.520 --> 01:21:12.520
Nice.

01:21:14.520 --> 01:21:16.520
That is gonna be all she wrote.

01:21:18.520 --> 01:21:19.520
Nice job, Gigi.

01:21:19.520 --> 01:21:20.520
He's coming top left.

01:21:27.520 --> 01:21:28.520
No, that would be f-

01:21:34.520 --> 01:21:35.520
No.

01:21:36.520 --> 01:21:37.520
Gigi.

01:21:37.520 --> 01:21:38.520
He is.

01:21:48.520 --> 01:21:55.480
Yeah, like three people in there seem I want to avoid

01:22:12.960 --> 01:22:14.960
That's something that guy

01:22:18.520 --> 01:22:26.160
I think this guy was just filling, he was kind of horrible at filling.

01:22:26.160 --> 01:22:29.360
This guy was also playing Hulk.

01:22:29.360 --> 01:22:38.840
Sorry guys, I'm not in Barcel.

01:22:38.840 --> 01:22:48.700
I think you know what rattles the past few months hasn't given some white fox

01:22:48.700 --> 01:22:57.620
Well today bad day to ask me bad day to ask me to be honest with you bad day

01:22:57.620 --> 01:23:03.600
Unfortunately, there's some some major issues that had to be talked about today with the game

01:23:03.600 --> 01:23:10.040
But I mean overall there's a lot of good but there's a lot of bad unfortunately

01:23:21.040 --> 01:23:23.200
Only three voice losses while it makes sense

01:23:25.800 --> 01:23:28.400
Because the more you'd have the longer queues are gonna be

01:23:28.400 --> 01:23:34.520
especially at like high, high, high rank, you know, like there's theoretical situations

01:23:34.520 --> 01:23:39.160
at like top 500 where depending on who's on like how many people are on and they're currently

01:23:39.160 --> 01:23:42.920
queuing, how the way they like avoids are working, like you might have to wait like

01:23:42.920 --> 01:23:57.320
10 plus minutes, 20 plus minutes, 30 plus minutes for a game.

01:23:57.320 --> 01:23:59.080
There's always something with the new worst thing in Rivals.

01:23:59.080 --> 01:24:00.740
I actually talked about that as well.

01:24:00.740 --> 01:24:03.280
That was something I touched on where I said that

01:24:03.280 --> 01:24:07.680
I think that people are diluting when you actually need

01:24:07.680 --> 01:24:09.440
to talk about things that are bad in Rivals

01:24:09.440 --> 01:24:10.680
because they say everything sucks,

01:24:10.680 --> 01:24:12.520
everything's horrible, balance is so bad,

01:24:12.520 --> 01:24:14.960
new character sucks, everything is fucking

01:24:14.960 --> 01:24:16.480
the worst thing since sliced bread,

01:24:16.480 --> 01:24:19.960
everything's a worst fucking, everything's a war crime, right?

01:24:19.960 --> 01:24:21.120
And so like a day like today,

01:24:21.120 --> 01:24:23.560
where there's actually things we kinda have to address

01:24:23.560 --> 01:24:25.360
that are big elephants in the room,

01:24:25.360 --> 01:24:26.720
it's almost been diluted where everyone's like,

01:24:26.720 --> 01:24:29.220
There's always a problem. It's like, no, no, these are huge problems.

01:24:29.220 --> 01:24:34.720
Like, these ones need to be addressed, but all these other ones are kind of like muddying the waters, you know?

01:24:37.920 --> 01:24:39.920
I'm gonna hit the game ban first.

01:24:41.520 --> 01:24:43.520
Nah, you have me, bitch.

01:24:48.220 --> 01:24:51.220
Also, you tried to snitch? I'll remember that.

01:24:53.720 --> 01:24:54.720
Damn it.

01:24:56.720 --> 01:25:03.720
They banned my dino.

01:25:03.720 --> 01:25:17.720
Are you playing dino?

01:25:17.720 --> 01:25:19.720
No, we banned.

01:25:19.720 --> 01:25:20.720
Why?

01:25:20.720 --> 01:25:21.720
They scared.

01:25:21.720 --> 01:25:22.720
Losers.

01:25:22.720 --> 01:25:23.720
Okay.

01:25:23.720 --> 01:25:51.880
Okay. Okay. Oh, we didn't beat anybody. Oh, I avoided this one last game, right? Good

01:25:51.880 --> 01:26:17.880
I'm scared.

01:26:17.880 --> 01:26:19.160
One, go!

01:26:22.760 --> 01:26:25.320
Yo listen man, we can play 4 DPS if we want.

01:26:25.320 --> 01:26:26.320
Care to...

01:26:26.320 --> 01:26:28.320
The moon gives you strength.

01:26:32.160 --> 01:26:34.720
30 seconds before you attack. Get ready.

01:26:38.200 --> 01:26:42.240
You are actually here, right? Or am I imagining this?

01:26:42.240 --> 01:26:42.920
No.

01:26:42.920 --> 01:26:44.920
Is he a unicorn or an apple?

01:26:45.480 --> 01:26:46.480
No.

01:26:46.480 --> 01:26:55.240
All right, all righty

01:26:55.240 --> 01:27:04.560
Listen man, I'm not afraid I will lock it. I'm gonna lock it alongside everyone else too

01:27:04.560 --> 01:27:13.440
I'm sorry did I just see they have a widow who walked it down main and we now have a

01:27:13.440 --> 01:27:18.720
window because okay you know what maybe we're gonna be fine

01:27:33.800 --> 01:27:41.720
who needs a meta for 4 DPS wait because they have 3 DPS in a window

01:27:41.720 --> 01:27:47.920
This is so stupid. Oh, the fucking state of this game is disgusting

01:28:06.600 --> 01:28:08.600
The end is dying

01:28:41.720 --> 01:29:04.800
I can't keep getting away with this while we're getting away with it and they're getting

01:29:04.800 --> 01:29:05.800
away with it.

01:29:05.800 --> 01:29:07.800
Man

01:29:22.200 --> 01:29:24.200
This game sucks dude

01:29:25.600 --> 01:29:29.480
It's unbelievable that guy CPL. I think he did

01:29:35.800 --> 01:29:39.480
Just leave him there, honestly.

01:29:39.480 --> 01:29:49.920
Two people row chasing, alright.

01:29:49.920 --> 01:30:02.360
Doesn't walk up to save the venom.

01:30:02.360 --> 01:30:14.720
That's why we voted for the 4S.

01:30:14.720 --> 01:30:15.720
I did.

01:30:15.720 --> 01:30:16.720
I voted 4S.

01:30:16.720 --> 01:30:21.720
Um, I think I voted, did I believe the Young's guy or the Shock's guy?

01:30:21.720 --> 01:30:23.240
I think the Shock's guy was the Hulk player.

01:30:23.240 --> 01:30:28.720
I think I voted that guy.

01:30:58.720 --> 01:31:18.960
These genuinely might be some of the worst gamers I've ever seen in my entire fucking career.

01:31:18.960 --> 01:31:20.960
That guy's next in YHP.

01:31:20.960 --> 01:31:24.960
I'm dead probably.

01:31:24.960 --> 01:31:30.360
JK, my sport's kinda goaded.

01:31:30.360 --> 01:31:38.360
Why is she behind the DC?

01:31:38.360 --> 01:31:39.360
Thanks.

01:31:39.360 --> 01:32:09.320
I'm 20 and oh my hell is 18 and oh we're playing 40 ps2 supports

01:32:09.320 --> 01:32:11.720
And we're running. This is unbelievable.

01:32:21.220 --> 01:32:22.720
Wait, this guy's name is Peter Parker.

01:32:30.220 --> 01:32:32.620
I think y'all surrender on principle here. No doubt.

01:32:39.320 --> 01:32:59.400
Well, this better be quick play considering we're now on defense, that should answer you

01:32:59.400 --> 01:33:28.560
that it's not he's actually the real spider the real Peter Parker it's not

01:33:28.560 --> 01:33:31.560
Quick play can you only play on attack or defensive quick way you don't do both

01:33:58.560 --> 01:34:07.120
Oh, sometimes it doesn't matter what comp you run, sometimes your team is just fucking

01:34:07.120 --> 01:34:08.120
buttcheeks.

01:34:08.120 --> 01:34:12.680
And maybe not even your team, like their whole team.

01:34:12.680 --> 01:34:15.640
Their entire team is the collection of buttcheeks.

01:34:15.640 --> 01:34:19.840
All of the buttcheeks on the planet have gathered in one Marvel Rivals game.

01:34:19.840 --> 01:34:21.240
This is unbelievable.

01:34:21.240 --> 01:34:25.040
I'm very glad I avoided a couple of them last game.

01:34:25.040 --> 01:34:28.520
Remember I told you guys I was like, I think I want to avoid this entire lobby, but I

01:34:28.520 --> 01:34:30.520
I can only pick three

01:34:58.520 --> 01:35:00.520
disappear

01:35:28.520 --> 01:35:47.560
too far the fact they haven't given up it is kind of wild actually

01:35:47.560 --> 01:36:12.560
I am ready to put on a show!

01:36:12.560 --> 01:36:40.820
Oh, we're dead.

01:36:40.820 --> 01:36:42.820
I didn't have an arm to stop him

01:37:10.820 --> 01:37:39.300
I feel like we just got to stick with it now, you know what I mean, like out of principle.

01:38:39.300 --> 01:38:41.300
stop them

01:38:47.300 --> 01:38:49.300
hold hold hold

01:38:59.300 --> 01:39:01.300
come on, disappear

01:40:09.300 --> 01:40:22.740
I'm just gonna try to build a moral for the next fight, even if I die.

01:40:22.740 --> 01:40:23.740
I didn't even die.

01:40:23.740 --> 01:40:24.740
Holy shit.

01:40:24.740 --> 01:40:38.820
I might be on goat watch.

01:40:38.820 --> 01:40:41.460
There's no way we just won this. This is unbelievable.

01:40:41.460 --> 01:40:43.460
What killers there's behind us?

01:40:43.460 --> 01:40:45.300
GG's.

01:40:45.300 --> 01:40:50.040
40 PS2 supports beats fucking triple quadruple tank.

01:40:50.040 --> 01:40:51.040
Tripled.

01:40:54.540 --> 01:40:57.680
This game is, this is fucked.

01:40:57.680 --> 01:41:00.340
Oh my god.

01:41:00.340 --> 01:41:02.340
30,000 damage on the Moon Knight.

01:41:08.820 --> 01:41:15.460
I'm very glad I avoided what I did, because I think I made some very, very smart calls.

01:41:15.460 --> 01:41:18.460
Good Lord.

01:41:18.460 --> 01:41:23.620
I mean, that was fun though.

01:41:23.620 --> 01:41:28.380
I mean, do you think they had any fun?

01:41:28.380 --> 01:41:29.380
That was an actual Spider-Man?

01:41:29.380 --> 01:41:30.380
Yeah, I mean, who's Peter Barker?

01:41:30.380 --> 01:41:33.380
Of course it was actually Spider-Man.

01:42:03.380 --> 01:42:13.380
Do I have Lord Penny? No, I don't really play Penny.

01:42:13.380 --> 01:42:25.500
Gratsphots for ruining his life, who?

01:42:25.500 --> 01:42:28.260
Peter Parker's, you expose him.

01:42:28.260 --> 01:42:29.100
Whoops.

01:42:35.780 --> 01:42:36.820
My bad.

01:42:39.220 --> 01:42:40.060
My bad.

01:42:40.060 --> 01:42:56.940
By the way, I gotta figure out what we're gonna do after Rival Segment.

01:42:56.940 --> 01:42:57.940
I haven't decided yet.

01:42:57.940 --> 01:43:03.180
I was either thinking about doing some Reacts, like you guys submit some videos and whatnot,

01:43:03.180 --> 01:43:08.460
formerly named Hot Topics or some gaming, but I don't know what I wanna do.

01:43:08.460 --> 01:43:10.460
I don't really want to do champions today.

01:43:14.460 --> 01:43:17.460
Hey, it's f**k tiktok, but it did remind me you were alive, so I didn't lose my streak.

01:43:18.460 --> 01:43:20.460
That's why I streamed on tiktok, right there.

01:43:20.460 --> 01:43:21.460
I gotta go pee.

01:43:21.460 --> 01:43:23.460
I'll be back in two minutes, alright?

01:44:08.460 --> 01:44:10.960
Oh! Cover my dino! Cover the dino!

01:44:13.660 --> 01:44:19.160
Wait- AHHHHHH! Just- Oh my god! I just fucking slammed my knee against my desk.

01:44:19.160 --> 01:44:20.660
Oh my god!

01:44:21.860 --> 01:44:22.960
AHHHHH!

01:44:23.760 --> 01:44:24.660
AHHHHH!

01:44:26.160 --> 01:44:31.260
AHHHHH! You hurt- Oh my god, dude. Why the fuck did I think this desk was a good idea?

01:44:32.560 --> 01:44:33.460
Oh...

01:44:33.460 --> 01:44:38.280
Dude, this desk is not a normal desk.

01:44:38.280 --> 01:44:39.680
This thing is fucking solid.

01:44:39.680 --> 01:44:41.280
You wanna hear what it sounds like?

01:44:41.280 --> 01:44:44.320
This is what I just bagged my knee against.

01:44:44.320 --> 01:44:45.320
Ow!

01:44:45.320 --> 01:44:46.320
Sounds like metal.

01:44:46.320 --> 01:44:47.320
It is metal!

01:44:47.320 --> 01:44:49.320
Ow!

01:45:01.400 --> 01:45:05.240
Sounds like metal. It is metal. It's very medley.

01:45:08.920 --> 01:45:12.520
How close are you to Lord Dino? Not even close, cause he's banned every fucking game!

01:45:17.320 --> 01:45:47.020
Do you think that's the Peter Parker again?

01:45:47.020 --> 01:45:50.020
I didn't say that in voice chat, he just said it is.

01:45:59.260 --> 01:46:00.500
Alright, I see you.

01:46:02.900 --> 01:46:04.020
I see you.

01:46:15.300 --> 01:46:15.900
I see.

01:46:17.020 --> 01:46:21.020
30 seconds before you attack. Get ready!

01:46:25.020 --> 01:46:27.020
It's funny, isn't it?

01:46:33.020 --> 01:46:36.020
It's not just you. I mean, how are you?

01:46:37.020 --> 01:46:40.020
Whoa, this is pretty crazy.

01:46:42.020 --> 01:46:44.020
The battle starts in 5.

01:46:44.020 --> 01:46:48.020
One, three, two, one!

01:47:02.020 --> 01:47:04.020
Is that Black Widow back there again?

01:47:06.020 --> 01:47:08.020
No, it isn't.

01:47:14.020 --> 01:47:21.460
He's already got all, oh my god.

01:47:21.460 --> 01:47:22.460
I'm so dead.

01:47:22.460 --> 01:47:31.460
I'm not gonna play, uh, that end of that.

01:47:31.460 --> 01:47:35.940
You know what, me it's time for my moon night.

01:47:35.940 --> 01:47:37.900
It's time for my moon night.

01:47:37.900 --> 01:47:38.900
I'm on my death home.

01:48:07.900 --> 01:48:09.900
Get out of my way!

01:48:09.900 --> 01:48:10.900
Move!

01:48:12.900 --> 01:48:13.900
I'm waiting!

01:48:13.900 --> 01:48:14.900
Keep going!

01:48:19.900 --> 01:48:20.900
No!

01:48:20.900 --> 01:48:22.900
Please don't go down this easy!

01:48:22.900 --> 01:48:23.900
I'll kill you!

01:48:25.900 --> 01:48:27.900
Can't you miss my shield?

01:48:31.900 --> 01:48:32.900
He was there!

01:48:32.900 --> 01:48:33.900
Don't turn back now!

01:48:34.900 --> 01:48:35.900
Like it goes in!

01:48:35.900 --> 01:48:42.900
That's not good.

01:49:05.900 --> 01:49:09.160
Like I said, I'll do it myself

01:49:35.900 --> 01:49:46.580
I'm dead let him right to me

01:49:46.580 --> 01:49:56.500
I could probably go back though it's probably safe too

01:49:56.500 --> 01:49:58.500
I have all

01:50:21.460 --> 01:50:23.460
That's tough

01:50:26.500 --> 01:50:28.500
I

01:50:45.020 --> 01:50:47.020
What did I do

01:50:56.500 --> 01:51:19.500
I'm so dead I don't know man I was gonna swap it's kind of working I feel like nobody looks

01:51:19.500 --> 01:51:26.500
to the side in this rank. Anti-jerk thing in some months.

01:51:49.500 --> 01:51:56.500
Oh, I was a little bit, uh, not as far as it should have been

01:52:16.500 --> 01:52:18.500
That didn't be a little bit deeper in

01:52:19.500 --> 01:52:30.500
of

01:52:30.500 --> 01:52:59.500
Oh, I hit the shield.

01:52:59.500 --> 01:53:07.860
No home dead

01:53:14.300 --> 01:53:16.940
Do I adult again, but doesn't matter

01:53:16.940 --> 01:53:38.940
matter. I built like a 30 second alt my bad.

01:53:38.940 --> 01:54:05.940
Flats if you see the post about the announcement about the Chidabans and Stroll way down you'll

01:54:05.940 --> 01:54:10.420
see that only three of the profiles have been hardware I know they're already red ale

01:54:14.420 --> 01:54:15.220
I already went through it all

01:54:17.620 --> 01:54:19.220
Retro are you here are you in the shadows

01:54:35.940 --> 01:54:42.940
The battle starts in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!

01:55:05.940 --> 01:55:12.940
of

01:55:26.500 --> 01:55:29.300
I'm so dead

01:55:29.300 --> 01:55:32.060
Let me see my best Scarlet Witch.

01:55:32.980 --> 01:55:33.620
Hello?

01:55:39.820 --> 01:55:40.540
Hello?

01:55:59.300 --> 01:56:18.700
I'm so dead I'm alive I don't know how I'm alive I'm alive

01:56:18.700 --> 01:56:19.500
I'll kill him

01:56:23.260 --> 01:56:23.900
I'm dead

01:56:25.740 --> 01:56:26.620
Batman won

01:56:28.140 --> 01:56:30.220
Honestly if he goes for me every time that's kind of good

01:56:31.180 --> 01:56:32.620
He's been kind of fucking my supports

01:56:35.500 --> 01:56:36.060
I'm down

01:56:40.220 --> 01:56:43.180
Right now my wife's in the room going aloo and flash his voice

01:56:43.180 --> 01:56:44.060
Wait what?

01:56:44.060 --> 01:56:44.540
What do you mean?

01:56:48.700 --> 01:57:00.580
I ain't no way bro is actually just not even playing the game waiting for me to come back

01:57:00.580 --> 01:57:04.980
so he can try to get spot camp kills.

01:57:04.980 --> 01:57:07.380
That is next level farm.

01:57:07.380 --> 01:57:10.380
Nice one.

01:57:10.380 --> 01:57:26.860
If I had a single shot on that guy, he would have died.

01:57:26.860 --> 01:57:35.060
I'm so dead.

01:57:35.060 --> 01:57:36.780
I can't get away with my off-hank was much.

01:57:36.780 --> 01:57:39.380
Now that they know it's me, they constantly are going to look for me.

01:57:39.380 --> 01:57:42.500
Yeah, I'm an ironic streamer nerf. They weren't doing it before

01:57:48.980 --> 01:57:50.980
That hit me, okay

01:57:55.380 --> 01:58:01.420
My question, no, no, it's now it's not to actually lock in not to actually lock in

01:58:10.380 --> 01:58:12.380
Cuz they're gonna they're gonna hard lock in now

01:58:14.900 --> 01:58:20.220
The vision do you notice most of the fights in the beginning the first half before they recognize I literally sat on the flank

01:58:20.220 --> 01:58:25.580
It just didn't even it didn't even acknowledge anybody who's actually hilarious, but now they all know it's me

01:58:26.060 --> 01:58:28.060
They're gonna come in flying

01:58:29.580 --> 01:58:32.780
Or guys just exploded sorry I couldn't be here to save you

01:58:39.380 --> 01:58:46.320
of

01:58:46.320 --> 01:59:06.100
the show after the

01:59:06.100 --> 01:59:09.100
Don't mess with the amazing Spider-Man!

01:59:11.100 --> 01:59:13.100
You know what to do, Spider-Man?

01:59:13.100 --> 01:59:14.100
Whoa!

01:59:14.100 --> 01:59:16.100
We're still a chance to stop them!

01:59:18.100 --> 01:59:19.100
A shield?

01:59:19.100 --> 01:59:20.100
Damn.

01:59:21.100 --> 01:59:22.100
Spider-Man!

01:59:22.100 --> 01:59:23.100
Now's the onsite!

01:59:23.100 --> 01:59:24.100
It's gonna make it?

01:59:24.100 --> 01:59:25.100
It's gonna make it!

01:59:25.100 --> 01:59:39.220
Didn't it cancel?

01:59:39.220 --> 01:59:46.660
Why is the voice line still going?

01:59:46.660 --> 01:59:47.660
We all dead.

01:59:47.660 --> 01:59:48.660
We're all dead.

01:59:48.660 --> 01:59:50.660
We're all dead.

01:59:50.660 --> 02:00:20.180
I already went over all this.

02:00:20.180 --> 02:00:27.660
I already I already talked about all of it. I've already gone through it all. Hold on, let me ask Retro.

02:00:27.660 --> 02:00:50.080
I didn't do great either. What are you talking about? I was like 20 and two at the start of the game.

02:00:50.080 --> 02:01:02.440
what do you mean my bad my bad my bad at some point they realized oh shit it's

02:01:02.440 --> 02:01:10.160
fine so what we gotta we gotta stop him and we're running so we'll take penny my

02:01:10.160 --> 02:01:24.480
bad I guess. Change your ban. I don't do my banner. After a few minutes, after a minute

02:01:24.480 --> 02:01:26.480
It shows up

02:01:49.240 --> 02:01:51.240
Cool gambit

02:01:54.480 --> 02:02:10.480
That's actually a good process, you're just kidding.

02:02:10.480 --> 02:02:37.240
Okay, one more.

02:02:37.240 --> 02:02:39.240
Did he just find me?

02:02:50.240 --> 02:02:52.240
You bitch.

02:02:52.240 --> 02:03:03.440
The right heroes could make all the difference.

02:03:03.440 --> 02:03:11.280
Every god damn game the god damn dino is fucking banned.

02:03:11.280 --> 02:03:13.440
The hand of heaven is here.

02:03:13.440 --> 02:03:15.680
Show some respect.

02:03:15.680 --> 02:03:22.240
regard damn game the damn dino is banned

02:03:45.680 --> 02:03:49.680
Really a team guy. I've got more than enough voices in my head.

02:03:49.680 --> 02:03:52.680
Funny. I heard you were an Avenger.

02:03:52.680 --> 02:03:54.680
Sorry I tried last game. No, you're good.

02:03:54.680 --> 02:03:57.680
Honestly, you shouldn't have had the solo tank ping.

02:03:57.680 --> 02:04:01.680
I kind of went Moon Knight because our team was struggling with it, and I just literally insta-killed him.

02:04:01.680 --> 02:04:06.680
And then they were not looking for me on the flank ever, so I feel like someone should have swapped to join you, but...

02:04:06.680 --> 02:04:08.680
Two. One.

02:04:08.680 --> 02:04:12.680
Maybe I should have went back, but I was kind of getting big value at the time.

02:04:12.680 --> 02:04:14.680
I

02:04:25.680 --> 02:04:27.680
Think you're going bitch ass

02:04:32.120 --> 02:04:34.120
Hello, hello

02:04:35.120 --> 02:04:37.760
CC of doom into spare what the fuck

02:04:42.680 --> 02:04:58.680
No, get away from my, get away from my backline buddy.

02:04:58.680 --> 02:05:03.680
I'm so dead.

02:05:03.680 --> 02:05:09.080
Oh, we're playing Rocket Jet.

02:05:09.080 --> 02:05:11.680
Oh, I actually don't need to save them.

02:05:11.680 --> 02:05:14.680
Wait, actually, don't be fine, don't live.

02:05:16.680 --> 02:05:18.680
Sup, buddy? I'm back.

02:05:37.680 --> 02:05:40.680
Tenacity's a fucking myth on Angela.

02:05:41.680 --> 02:06:06.520
I can't even I can't even ground myself dude. I've gotten my ground cancelled twice

02:06:41.680 --> 02:06:46.680
Didn't that hit?

02:06:46.680 --> 02:06:51.680
He didn't.

02:06:51.680 --> 02:07:04.000
Bro, I'm so over this game, man.

02:07:04.000 --> 02:07:09.840
I'm actually so over it.

02:07:09.840 --> 02:07:12.680
I just hit the side of the railing down there, so it didn't count.

02:07:18.120 --> 02:07:19.640
Like, what?

02:07:19.920 --> 02:07:21.640
Like, what the fuck is that?

02:07:34.520 --> 02:07:35.440
It landed sideways?

02:07:35.600 --> 02:07:38.200
Yeah, but tell me how that's my fault that it landed here.

02:07:38.200 --> 02:07:41.640
On the side of this! You tell me!

02:07:49.960 --> 02:07:51.560
Ah, it's unbelievable.

02:07:52.760 --> 02:07:54.280
They see me up here, they just...

02:07:57.480 --> 02:07:57.980
Oh.

02:08:08.200 --> 02:08:21.560
I'm sorry hello

02:08:21.560 --> 02:08:23.560
I

02:08:37.000 --> 02:08:40.760
Really that's young's faults you see that

02:08:46.280 --> 02:08:48.280
That's unbelievable

02:09:21.560 --> 02:09:23.680
No Hoosamen, wait it!

02:09:23.680 --> 02:09:26.800
30 seconds before you attack. Get ready!

02:09:37.680 --> 02:09:38.440
So official.

02:09:40.200 --> 02:09:41.640
Ramen made in the six months?

02:09:41.640 --> 02:09:43.760
Hope you're having a good time.

02:09:43.760 --> 02:09:46.320
What's your favorite game of all time?

02:09:47.320 --> 02:09:48.600
That's a hard question to answer.

02:09:48.600 --> 02:09:50.600
Actually, you know what? Uh, I forgot.

02:09:50.600 --> 02:09:52.200
Nearly tierless today, actually.

02:09:52.200 --> 02:09:54.200
I think our time's passed. I think I got it.

02:09:59.400 --> 02:10:01.400
Where you think you're going?

02:10:01.880 --> 02:10:05.400
Yeah. Where you think you're going? You coming at my backline? I swear to god, I'll fuck you up.

02:10:06.200 --> 02:10:08.200
Get up. I'm telling you, get...

02:10:09.480 --> 02:10:11.480
I told you, get away from my backline!

02:10:18.600 --> 02:10:34.680
He just fucked himself off the map. That's crazy. I told you once I'm gonna tell you again get off my back line you bitch

02:10:45.160 --> 02:10:47.160
Don't make me tell you again

02:10:48.600 --> 02:11:08.000
That's the same guy I avoided.

02:11:08.000 --> 02:11:15.000
That's the guy from earlier.

02:11:22.520 --> 02:11:29.520
Bro that avoid earlier is paying off in spades, holy.

02:11:29.520 --> 02:11:34.520
GGGs.

02:11:34.520 --> 02:11:45.640
Dude, seven finals on the lowest amount of damage on my team, W.

02:11:45.640 --> 02:11:48.040
I can't believe that guy fucked himself off the map.

02:11:48.040 --> 02:11:50.200
That was crazy.

02:11:50.200 --> 02:11:54.000
Did you guys see that?

02:11:54.000 --> 02:11:57.000
That was awesome.

02:12:27.000 --> 02:12:53.000
Yeah, a lot of villain characters would be cool to add.

02:12:53.000 --> 02:12:55.520
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

02:12:58.160 --> 02:12:59.920
Yeah, I'll do tierless today.

02:12:59.920 --> 02:13:01.400
It's not a bad idea.

02:13:02.400 --> 02:13:03.360
I'll show you my serum.

02:13:03.360 --> 02:13:05.160
Do you have a retro? You'll find it me.

02:13:09.560 --> 02:13:11.640
Do I have my... big pin?

02:13:14.640 --> 02:13:15.760
I do have it.

02:13:21.320 --> 02:13:22.320
Okay.

02:13:23.000 --> 02:13:30.000
All right, lock in.

02:13:30.000 --> 02:13:41.000
Oh, they can fight over Mag while I play the Dino.

02:13:41.000 --> 02:13:46.200
Anything two months?

02:13:46.200 --> 02:13:49.200
Not fully.

02:13:49.200 --> 02:13:51.280
I'm not gonna finish from this match

02:14:19.200 --> 02:14:21.200
Uh oh.

02:14:25.200 --> 02:14:26.200
Uh oh.

02:14:26.200 --> 02:14:28.200
Hey, this is lots of honor.

02:14:31.200 --> 02:14:33.200
Soundboard.

02:14:39.200 --> 02:14:42.200
You know, big dog, please open my door, please.

02:14:42.200 --> 02:14:44.200
Oh, shit, we're gonna be...

02:14:45.200 --> 02:14:47.200
Wait, wait, wait, where are we being? Fuck.

02:14:49.200 --> 02:14:53.200
Uhhh, Star Lord I guess? Maybe? Hello? I don't know, I'll call it.

02:14:53.200 --> 02:14:55.200
I'm sorry.

02:14:59.200 --> 02:15:01.200
YOU BITCH!

02:15:01.200 --> 02:15:02.200
NO!

02:15:06.200 --> 02:15:08.200
These god damn bastards!

02:15:11.200 --> 02:15:13.200
I could fastball if you guys want.

02:15:15.200 --> 02:15:17.200
I'll then play it. Yeah, yeah, I'll play it at night.

02:15:17.200 --> 02:15:18.200
Yeah.

02:15:18.200 --> 02:15:20.200
Hi, York.

02:15:20.200 --> 02:15:25.280
Anything when the Birdman seagull is?

02:15:25.280 --> 02:15:29.200
Uh, he's been on a break for the last year, he was feeling really burnt out.

02:15:29.200 --> 02:15:36.000
Actually, I think, and I'm not going to speak for the guy, but, um, he did tell me a date

02:15:36.000 --> 02:15:38.880
where he was like, anything beyond this date, I'd probably just come back, because like,

02:15:38.880 --> 02:15:40.880
that's just way too long to be gone.

02:15:40.880 --> 02:15:44.320
And I don't think we're too far from that date.

02:15:44.320 --> 02:15:49.320
in my lobby class, but if you want to throw, this is the music.

02:15:54.920 --> 02:15:56.760
See, he says that now, but then what if I throw

02:15:56.760 --> 02:15:57.880
his game by accident?

02:15:57.880 --> 02:15:58.720
Come on, Blooming.

02:15:58.720 --> 02:16:01.720
This is pretty bad, you only watch one video each time.

02:16:06.600 --> 02:16:09.440
So you say that now, but if I throw this game by accident,

02:16:09.440 --> 02:16:11.440
it's gonna be like, oh, I hate that guy.

02:16:11.440 --> 02:16:12.280
I wouldn't care.

02:16:12.280 --> 02:16:13.120
I wouldn't care.

02:16:13.120 --> 02:16:20.040
if you're in my team or you're throwing in my team I would not care if that's actually

02:16:20.040 --> 02:16:21.040
some time.

02:16:21.040 --> 02:16:23.160
How much though dude?

02:16:23.160 --> 02:16:24.560
W Glaze.

02:16:24.560 --> 02:16:30.640
I'm bleeding your mid ice.

02:16:30.640 --> 02:16:37.640
Not someone does.

02:16:37.640 --> 02:16:44.640
I don't know what to do with it.

02:17:07.640 --> 02:17:18.640
I didn't get him, that's not a good-

02:17:18.640 --> 02:17:29.640
I'm sorry, Ben just touched me, he just touched me.

02:17:29.640 --> 02:17:31.640
triple that's why

02:17:59.640 --> 02:18:04.640
Oh, I couldn't save him.

02:18:04.640 --> 02:18:09.640
I'm sorry.

02:18:09.640 --> 02:18:14.640
Feels bad.

02:18:14.640 --> 02:18:28.640
I think I need to try and assassinate their backline, maybe it's like my best play here.

02:18:28.640 --> 02:18:30.640
They just are so tanky in front

02:18:54.000 --> 02:18:56.000
One under

02:18:58.640 --> 02:19:02.000
There's Bogr in here. Bogr, did I see you? Hello?

02:19:09.000 --> 02:19:10.000
Hello, Bogr.

02:19:18.160 --> 02:19:19.160
We're dead.

02:19:19.860 --> 02:19:22.520
Wait, I don't know how we're alive, but huge.

02:19:25.120 --> 02:19:26.440
We're mags crazy.

02:19:28.640 --> 02:19:31.640
This is real firepower!

02:19:42.640 --> 02:19:43.640
I'm dead again.

02:19:43.640 --> 02:19:45.640
Hold your thoughts, I'm sorry.

02:19:45.640 --> 02:19:46.640
I'm gonna die!

02:19:46.640 --> 02:19:47.640
Nevermind, I got you.

02:19:49.640 --> 02:19:50.640
Don't go, don't go through!

02:19:53.640 --> 02:19:54.640
Nevermind, I got you.

02:19:54.640 --> 02:19:55.640
Yeah, you need help.

02:19:55.640 --> 02:20:02.640
I got the Invis, wrong way to get to one.

02:20:02.640 --> 02:20:11.640
Worth, I think.

02:20:11.640 --> 02:20:16.640
Did you see the news, Boker?

02:20:16.640 --> 02:20:21.640
Am I wrong for being a little skeptical?

02:20:21.640 --> 02:20:24.640
I feel like we've seen them say the same thing already.

02:20:43.640 --> 02:20:46.640
Have you ever uploaded a new video with them shooting again? Oh, lovely.

02:20:51.640 --> 02:20:53.640
I want to be back

02:20:53.640 --> 02:20:55.640
get on the cross, get on the cross, get on the cross

02:20:55.640 --> 02:20:57.640
get on the cross, get on the cross, get on the cross

02:20:57.640 --> 02:20:59.640
I'm to be back

02:21:01.640 --> 02:21:03.640
I want to go on the

02:21:03.640 --> 02:21:05.640
they more behind me

02:21:09.640 --> 02:21:11.640
nice stream, take me to the top

02:21:13.640 --> 02:21:15.640
the more one, the more one

02:21:21.640 --> 02:21:23.640
Oh, dark magic.

02:21:29.320 --> 02:21:31.320
How are you back?

02:21:37.480 --> 02:21:39.480
I'm going blind on this lane.

02:21:41.480 --> 02:21:43.480
I'm standing.

02:21:51.640 --> 02:22:17.640
I love when the wolf is on my team.

02:22:17.640 --> 02:22:25.320
real flat flats what is your take I'm still pretty strong but there's just

02:22:25.320 --> 02:22:32.720
so many other things to ban yeah I'm not gonna lie my man crazy I feel like

02:22:32.720 --> 02:22:37.800
yes cool but I feel like he's very strong right now ever since April got

02:22:37.800 --> 02:22:42.840
nukes no insert situation yeah he's really strong I mean honestly he was

02:22:42.840 --> 02:22:47.840
before the changes. Just depends on when.

02:22:47.840 --> 02:22:51.840
Well, I saw some DPS experience going.

02:22:51.840 --> 02:22:56.840
Well, I won a game earlier on 4 DPS 2 support versus

02:22:56.840 --> 02:22:59.840
Triple Tank 1, 2.

02:22:59.840 --> 02:23:04.840
So, I'm convinced the game's not real anymore.

02:23:04.840 --> 02:23:08.840
Dude, I lost you some bad DPS, you oughta fucking

02:23:38.840 --> 02:23:44.920
I'm not going, I'm not going, I'm not going.

02:23:44.920 --> 02:23:45.920
Sing blinded.

02:23:45.920 --> 02:23:48.920
Sing ammo blinded.

02:23:48.920 --> 02:23:58.920
Ah, totally earned that by the way.

02:23:58.920 --> 02:23:59.920
You did earn that.

02:23:59.920 --> 02:24:00.920
Thank you so much.

02:24:00.920 --> 02:24:01.920
It took so much skill.

02:24:01.920 --> 02:24:02.920
Oh, oh, oh, oh.

02:24:02.920 --> 02:24:03.920
Interesting.

02:24:03.920 --> 02:24:04.920
How much do I take?

02:24:04.920 --> 02:24:05.920
They're trying to see the bell.

02:24:05.920 --> 02:24:07.920
They're trying to see the bell

02:24:09.140 --> 02:24:11.140
They're going through the triple hill bailout

02:24:35.920 --> 02:24:42.920
Oh my god.

02:24:42.920 --> 02:24:51.920
Yo, I'm not gonna lie, what you can do to that rocket?

02:24:51.920 --> 02:24:53.920
That was by leasing.

02:24:53.920 --> 02:24:58.920
And they're very bad.

02:25:28.920 --> 02:25:30.920
Nice.

02:25:38.920 --> 02:25:40.920
It's nice for playing.

02:25:48.920 --> 02:25:50.920
Don't pull.

02:25:50.920 --> 02:25:57.920
That was evil, I saw that.

02:25:57.920 --> 02:25:59.920
GGs, GGs.

02:25:59.920 --> 02:26:02.920
Yo, watch that. Watch this fucking amazing bro.

02:26:02.920 --> 02:26:03.920
GGs, guys.

02:26:03.920 --> 02:26:05.920
Yeah, GGs, GGs, watch that.

02:26:05.920 --> 02:26:07.920
Damn.

02:26:07.920 --> 02:26:10.920
Dude, Rare Portage actually a really good game.

02:26:10.920 --> 02:26:13.920
A fun game.

02:26:13.920 --> 02:26:16.920
That was evil. Our mag was actually kind of a go.

02:26:20.920 --> 02:26:25.920
You went crazy

02:26:30.040 --> 02:26:34.560
I gotta go pee we're right back. Okay, they make super Charlie's inside. I know I

02:28:20.920 --> 02:28:26.480
Oh, all right, let's just play till we lose play till we lose sound good

02:28:29.200 --> 02:28:31.200
Oh Gigi's in

02:28:41.200 --> 02:28:44.520
That's okay, our team was kind of our team was kind of locked in I

02:28:44.520 --> 02:28:51.340
I think after the name or group combo didn't work that was my game was sealed

02:28:53.100 --> 02:28:55.100
Also, I need to fix my alerts. I don't know why

02:28:59.160 --> 02:29:03.680
Are you super chat I saw early didn't pop up weird still didn't pop up

02:29:03.680 --> 02:29:16.880
I don't know why it didn't work.

02:29:16.880 --> 02:29:18.880
Oh, Dino.

02:29:18.880 --> 02:29:22.360
Fatherland 3 months.

02:29:22.360 --> 02:29:24.320
No, no champions today.

02:29:24.320 --> 02:29:27.320
Cool, I'm not gonna finish for this match.

02:29:31.320 --> 02:29:34.320
You know who would say Ravals is more difficult than Overwatch?

02:29:35.320 --> 02:29:38.320
It's not supposed to be a competition, but that's delusional.

02:29:38.320 --> 02:29:42.320
Of course, even if that's been out for 10 years, it's gonna be harder than a game that's been out for a year and a half.

02:29:42.320 --> 02:29:44.320
Does he matter if it's Marvel or Overwatch?

02:29:44.320 --> 02:29:46.320
Which is kind of idiotic.

02:29:46.320 --> 02:29:57.320
Hmm, Gem, Gambito?

02:29:57.320 --> 02:30:12.320
Nooooooo, the Dino.

02:30:12.320 --> 02:30:16.440
Yeah, I swear people would just knock it at the dyno.

02:30:16.440 --> 02:30:20.500
That's why everyone bans it because they don't know how to get on their team that plays it.

02:30:20.500 --> 02:30:21.500
I swear.

02:30:21.500 --> 02:30:30.880
Have you ever played against a cheater in this game?

02:30:30.880 --> 02:30:31.880
I don't think so.

02:30:31.880 --> 02:30:32.880
You know what's funny?

02:30:32.880 --> 02:30:34.840
You probably have at some point in any of the games you've played.

02:30:34.840 --> 02:30:36.840
You just never recognized it.

02:30:36.840 --> 02:30:43.840
The right heroes could make all the difference.

02:30:43.840 --> 02:30:49.840
I tear through the cloudless night just like the moon night.

02:30:49.840 --> 02:30:56.840
The moon.

02:30:56.840 --> 02:31:03.840
Diaban every game unfortunately.

02:32:03.840 --> 02:32:07.920
I just hit him with a right click dead on and nothing happened. Did you guys see that?

02:32:13.800 --> 02:32:16.280
We have low key man, Moon Knight. That's gonna be a little bit spooky

02:32:33.840 --> 02:32:47.520
Oh, that was a nice combo.

02:32:47.520 --> 02:32:53.520
This is a nice last game, it might be.

02:32:53.520 --> 02:33:01.520
Oh, we would be dead.

02:33:01.520 --> 02:33:12.540
The more than marry you touch them

02:33:12.540 --> 02:33:14.540
Let me rest

02:33:42.540 --> 02:34:07.540
I am ready to put on a show.

02:34:07.540 --> 02:34:16.540
damn, died through the ult, it took so long

02:34:16.540 --> 02:34:23.540
that sucks

02:34:37.540 --> 02:34:39.540
I

02:35:07.540 --> 02:35:08.540
I'm dead.

02:35:08.540 --> 02:35:19.300
If we're getting walked down and dying, we have ults and we're not popping them.

02:35:19.300 --> 02:35:21.060
Oh man.

02:35:21.060 --> 02:35:34.100
Feels bad.

02:35:34.100 --> 02:35:36.100
That's actually such a feels bad.

02:35:36.100 --> 02:35:56.100
this one

02:35:56.100 --> 02:36:01.100
well

02:36:01.100 --> 02:36:02.380
Hey, checkpoint!

02:36:02.380 --> 02:36:05.180
Now, I might have to try and stop them!

02:36:15.180 --> 02:36:17.180
Feel better! Fight back!

02:36:19.820 --> 02:36:21.820
Better sound that, Beagle!

02:36:22.380 --> 02:36:24.380
I'll give them a shoot!

02:36:31.100 --> 02:36:39.300
Why is there two up there? Hello?

02:36:43.300 --> 02:36:48.100
Those two must be hard calming together because they've actually done that a few times

02:36:53.060 --> 02:36:55.060
Okay

02:36:55.060 --> 02:37:00.060
or on triple so someone's got to deal with the moon knight or the star lord so

02:37:00.060 --> 02:37:03.780
it's gotta be me this is gonna be a disaster

02:37:06.900 --> 02:37:11.900
now that we've any DPS players on our team unfortunately

02:37:16.060 --> 02:37:21.580
yeah okay buddy you're not off you'd make it a little less obvious

02:37:25.060 --> 02:37:50.060
of

02:37:50.060 --> 02:37:52.060
the best over there but

02:38:22.060 --> 02:38:45.060
of

02:38:45.060 --> 02:38:48.060
help friends I want our soul

02:38:48.060 --> 02:38:52.060
yeah

02:38:52.060 --> 02:38:59.060
double kill only 60 second left

02:38:59.060 --> 02:39:04.060
yeah

02:39:04.060 --> 02:39:09.060
yeah

02:39:09.060 --> 02:39:34.060
of

02:39:34.060 --> 02:39:56.980
That they focused on me a little too hard there at the end, I'm not having that kind

02:39:56.980 --> 02:40:03.980
and then we're done with the third and final attack.

02:40:03.980 --> 02:40:05.980
OK.

02:40:05.980 --> 02:40:07.980
Time to switch things up, including which side you're on.

02:40:07.980 --> 02:40:10.980
You'll need a top notch team to win this one.

02:40:10.980 --> 02:40:22.980
No one escapes Hell.

02:40:52.980 --> 02:40:54.980
This one, yeah

02:41:16.900 --> 02:41:18.900
Okay

02:41:19.380 --> 02:41:21.500
Yeah, I feel like KFC fell off a cliff

02:41:22.980 --> 02:41:24.980
Well.

02:41:35.780 --> 02:41:37.780
13.

02:41:52.980 --> 02:42:06.980
of

02:42:06.980 --> 02:42:10.980
It's okay. Admit it. Give me a hit.

02:42:14.980 --> 02:42:16.980
Find that soul.

02:42:20.980 --> 02:42:24.980
The vehicle reached the checkpoint. See whether or not you're...

02:42:54.980 --> 02:43:01.980
not a good sign for when he ults in a sec

02:43:01.980 --> 02:43:16.980
uh, you gotta get a little pretty far

02:43:16.980 --> 02:43:26.980
I got you back. Now we'll see them.

02:43:26.980 --> 02:43:32.980
Don't let me set you to good.

02:43:32.980 --> 02:43:36.980
Fine, not so bad.

02:43:36.980 --> 02:43:39.380
So much power almost there

02:43:47.380 --> 02:43:48.580
I'm taking damage

02:43:50.980 --> 02:43:55.380
Here is why your powers are not against the world

02:43:55.380 --> 02:44:06.000
Me, too.

02:44:06.000 --> 02:44:12.380
Me, too.

02:44:12.380 --> 02:44:17.940
Me, too.

02:44:17.940 --> 02:44:20.940
You got a really bad idea or a really good idea? I think it's bad right now.

02:44:29.940 --> 02:44:30.940
Bye, D.I.E.L.D.

02:44:33.940 --> 02:44:34.940
We're dead.

02:44:47.940 --> 02:44:55.540
I don't think we'll start shit talking our fucking supports, even though we have three

02:44:55.540 --> 02:45:02.060
minutes to attack, we held them one third, like we're still so fine.

02:45:02.060 --> 02:45:04.980
They asked him to play triple in the beginning because like they were struggling.

02:45:04.980 --> 02:45:06.420
He said, no, that's boring.

02:45:06.420 --> 02:45:14.500
It's like, do they, you can't, like it's like illegal to shit talk after that.

02:45:44.500 --> 02:45:51.500
How's that helpful?

02:45:51.500 --> 02:45:52.500
Clearly.

02:45:52.500 --> 02:45:54.500
I don't care for every reason

02:46:22.500 --> 02:46:43.300
I'm just like, oh, it sounds so miserable.

02:46:43.300 --> 02:46:46.820
And I flew right in.

02:46:46.820 --> 02:46:48.980
Trying to get back to the team.

02:46:48.980 --> 02:46:50.980
I

02:46:51.620 --> 02:46:53.620
Guess I should just walk back

02:47:02.340 --> 02:47:04.340
Hmm

02:47:18.980 --> 02:47:20.980
I have a great taste of hell.

02:47:20.980 --> 02:47:22.980
Hit two, hit him six times.

02:47:22.980 --> 02:47:24.980
We're back down to 30 seconds.

02:47:24.980 --> 02:47:26.980
It's not the end. I'll be back.

02:47:28.980 --> 02:47:30.980
I know it's better for me.

02:47:30.980 --> 02:47:31.980
I suck.

02:47:31.980 --> 02:47:32.980
Hit him six times.

02:47:42.980 --> 02:47:44.980
I have 10 seconds.

02:47:48.980 --> 02:47:50.980
against the world

02:48:02.980 --> 02:48:08.100
Judge juries and execution final score one two

02:48:18.980 --> 02:48:19.980
That's tough.

02:48:25.300 --> 02:48:26.800
True, we're in play till we lose.

02:48:38.380 --> 02:48:39.380
All right, is it time?

02:48:41.420 --> 02:48:42.420
I think it's time.

02:48:44.340 --> 02:48:45.340
I gotta go P first.

02:48:48.980 --> 02:49:06.420
Alright, let me go bathroom real quick and then we'll get started.

02:50:36.420 --> 02:51:05.800
I think it's time.

02:51:05.800 --> 02:51:07.720
I got the Shadow Band notification on TikTok.

02:51:07.720 --> 02:51:08.560
I'm gonna restart you guys.

02:51:08.560 --> 02:51:09.560
Come and watch your YouTube though,

02:51:09.560 --> 02:51:11.760
realistically otherwise you just get ignored.

02:51:17.520 --> 02:51:18.360
Okay.

02:51:18.360 --> 02:51:42.860
All right, chat's time.

02:51:42.860 --> 02:51:44.860
Snorlax Stumper.

02:51:44.860 --> 02:51:46.860
Chat's time.

02:51:46.860 --> 02:51:50.300
We got to rearrange the characters. Everybody knows tank goes first, support goes last.

02:51:51.900 --> 02:51:56.500
That'd be the rules around here. It's always in the rules. The rules are the rules.

02:52:05.620 --> 02:52:09.660
Okay, let's rearrange that. It's down here, down here, down here.

02:52:10.260 --> 02:52:11.940
Dude, we're getting a lot of characters now, huh?

02:52:11.940 --> 02:52:27.060
Peer down here, up here, up here, up here, down here, up here, down here, I think that's

02:52:27.060 --> 02:52:28.060
everybody.

02:52:28.060 --> 02:52:33.060
Does it look right?

02:52:33.060 --> 02:52:39.380
Does it look right?

02:52:39.380 --> 02:52:40.380
Gambit?

02:52:40.380 --> 02:52:41.380
Where's Gambit?

02:52:41.380 --> 02:52:46.360
I'll game, but I missed them. Okay, cool everything else look right

02:52:56.020 --> 02:53:00.480
You can get troll list to fuck with the Redditors the Redditors already getting fucked hard enough by life man

02:53:00.480 --> 02:53:02.480
I don't want to make it any worse on them

02:53:05.840 --> 02:53:07.840
All right, I think that looks good

02:53:07.840 --> 02:53:13.360
Alright, cool.

02:53:13.360 --> 02:53:16.520
Chat, it is time.

02:53:16.520 --> 02:53:20.480
Chat, it's time.

02:53:20.480 --> 02:53:26.960
This season 8 Marble Rivals tier list.

02:53:26.960 --> 02:53:31.240
Guys, as always, take these with a grain of salt.

02:53:31.240 --> 02:53:35.480
I actually took 7.5 off, 1 because I wasn't playing the game that much, and 2 just to

02:53:35.480 --> 02:53:37.700
improve the point that a meta still always will form.

02:53:37.700 --> 02:53:38.960
Tier lists don't form those.

02:53:38.960 --> 02:53:40.560
People will still figure out what's strong

02:53:40.560 --> 02:53:41.920
and what's not strong.

02:53:41.920 --> 02:53:43.080
If someone doesn't make a tier list,

02:53:43.080 --> 02:53:44.400
someone else will make one.

02:53:44.400 --> 02:53:47.000
And also, people just play the video game and go,

02:53:47.000 --> 02:53:47.960
hmm, that's kind of strong.

02:53:47.960 --> 02:53:48.800
I'm gonna play it.

02:53:48.800 --> 02:53:50.600
People aren't stupid.

02:53:50.600 --> 02:53:52.000
So there you go.

02:53:52.000 --> 02:53:54.720
We're gonna lock in and we're gonna make this.

02:53:54.720 --> 02:53:56.740
First things first, Venom.

02:53:58.160 --> 02:54:03.160
So Venom benefited a lot from the support changes,

02:54:03.160 --> 02:54:08.600
The support all charge. Sorry. It's not sport are changes the old nerfs across the board

02:54:08.600 --> 02:54:13.920
But support specifically and I think he's pretty good. However, I actually don't think he's like

02:54:14.520 --> 02:54:16.520
That good

02:54:17.520 --> 02:54:19.520
Dive is strong

02:54:19.600 --> 02:54:22.000
There's so another dive thing. I think is much better

02:54:22.840 --> 02:54:26.960
But I don't think he's like bad. He just like he's like, okay

02:54:27.080 --> 02:54:30.880
You know me like you can pick him on a lot of maps with some like dive comps

02:54:30.880 --> 02:54:33.500
You typically don't want double dive tank.

02:54:33.500 --> 02:54:35.960
Double dive tank is actually, at least in my opinion,

02:54:35.960 --> 02:54:38.840
in rank, kind of bad, because your back line just explodes.

02:54:38.840 --> 02:54:40.000
They just don't know how to play the game

02:54:40.000 --> 02:54:42.600
unless there's some stationary tank with them,

02:54:42.600 --> 02:54:47.600
or some baseline, we stand there and protect you type tank.

02:54:51.000 --> 02:54:52.080
So I think this is pretty fair.

02:54:52.080 --> 02:54:53.040
I think this is much better,

02:54:53.040 --> 02:54:55.040
but I don't think he's bad at all.

02:54:55.040 --> 02:54:59.160
Groot, okay, there's so many characters now.

02:54:59.160 --> 02:55:04.160
I'm like half debating making a best in role category

02:55:04.360 --> 02:55:06.040
because I know a lot of people do that now

02:55:07.320 --> 02:55:09.840
instead of a, you know,

02:55:11.600 --> 02:55:16.280
having everything in S because unfortunately,

02:55:16.280 --> 02:55:21.280
we've hit the point best in roll, best in roll,

02:55:21.280 --> 02:55:26.280
Role best in role

02:55:26.280 --> 02:55:29.280
BIR

02:55:29.280 --> 02:55:33.280
So what I'm going to do is BIS, WIS, best in slot

02:55:33.280 --> 02:55:37.280
Why do they call it slot? It's a role

02:55:37.280 --> 02:55:41.280
Best in role, I'm not saying slot, why would you guys say slot?

02:55:41.280 --> 02:55:45.280
That doesn't make sense, I'm doing my own way

02:55:45.280 --> 02:55:49.280
Best in role, it's an MMO term, well guess what

02:55:49.280 --> 02:55:51.280
We ain't playing an MMO.

02:55:51.940 --> 02:55:54.740
We ain't playing an MMO. We're playing best in role.

02:55:54.740 --> 02:55:59.680
I, it's three roles. Tank, support, DPS.

02:55:59.680 --> 02:56:06.580
Otherwise, it was known as Vanguard, Damage, or no, sorry, Vanguard, Dueless.

02:56:12.080 --> 02:56:14.080
I forgot what this four one's called.

02:56:14.600 --> 02:56:16.600
Vanguard, Dueless, Stragess. Stragess.

02:56:16.600 --> 02:56:23.400
Okay, the reason why I made this this role above best in role is because I think Groot is arguably

02:56:23.400 --> 02:56:28.200
still one of the best tanks in the game. One of the best to play. Dominates on a lot of maps,

02:56:28.200 --> 02:56:34.480
especially like the tree walking map, the group, the group map, I guess, legitimately. And he's

02:56:34.480 --> 02:56:39.400
always pretty strong. And he actually does really well against a lot of the frontline tanks, your

02:56:39.400 --> 02:56:48.800
your thing, your mag, your pennies, your M-Muzz even a little bit, and he's just always pretty

02:56:48.800 --> 02:56:49.800
strong.

02:56:49.800 --> 02:56:53.320
If you had to pick one tank these days to get really good at, you probably could just

02:56:53.320 --> 02:56:56.600
get really good at Groot and probably pick him every single game and be okay.

02:56:56.600 --> 02:57:02.040
Like, there would be very few games where, if he's not banned, you wouldn't be screwed.

02:57:02.040 --> 02:57:04.120
You get what I'm saying?

02:57:04.120 --> 02:57:06.560
You could play Groot almost anywhere.

02:57:06.560 --> 02:57:07.720
Almost anywhere.

02:57:07.720 --> 02:57:13.080
In most maps he's really strong and the ones he's not strong on, he's still okay.

02:57:13.080 --> 02:57:16.400
So next up, Tank Pool.

02:57:16.400 --> 02:57:19.520
So Tank Pool kind of got taken out back and shot 16 times in the head.

02:57:19.520 --> 02:57:20.800
I haven't watched any Ignite.

02:57:20.800 --> 02:57:22.680
I don't know if they're playing him in Ignite.

02:57:22.680 --> 02:57:26.400
I played like one or two ranked games and he felt kind of butt cheeks.

02:57:26.400 --> 02:57:29.640
Like I just, there's like no reason to play him.

02:57:29.640 --> 02:57:33.440
But that said though, I don't think he's like the worst character in the game, you know,

02:57:33.440 --> 02:57:37.600
but he just doesn't have like a spot anymore.

02:57:37.600 --> 02:57:43.400
know they just really they really gutted him you know like the things that he was

02:57:43.400 --> 02:57:48.960
really good at was he had good high damage and his gun old can isolate a

02:57:48.960 --> 02:57:53.400
single target so they they nerfed his gun old pretty hard and they nerfed his

02:57:53.400 --> 02:57:56.880
damage pretty hard and then they also made his fire rate slower so now he

02:57:56.880 --> 02:58:00.280
shoots a lot slower does a lot less damage and his ult's not as good so he

02:58:00.280 --> 02:58:04.440
kind of just you know he was never like a support the team type of tank he was

02:58:04.440 --> 02:58:11.400
always more of like a off-tank cosplay where he just did like a lot of damage, you know.

02:58:11.400 --> 02:58:15.560
So RIP tank pool, genuinely a little sad on how much they kind of nerfed him.

02:58:15.560 --> 02:58:19.960
If I didn't actually, I might even put him in D tier, TBH, but we'll see.

02:58:19.960 --> 02:58:25.280
I think this is fair for now, but I don't think he's unplayable.

02:58:25.280 --> 02:58:28.680
Selfish tank, but I have no problem with there being selfish tanks because most players are

02:58:28.680 --> 02:58:29.680
selfish as fuck.

02:58:29.680 --> 02:58:32.160
And if you're a tank player, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

02:58:32.160 --> 02:58:34.040
If you're a support player, you probably know what I'm talking about, too.

02:58:34.660 --> 02:58:37.160
If you want to selfish as fuck, I just played a game or I literally

02:58:37.160 --> 02:58:38.920
just played a game where we played 40 PS2 support.

02:58:39.060 --> 02:58:39.600
We won.

02:58:39.640 --> 02:58:42.940
I don't know how the fuck we won, but like, nobody wants to swap.

02:58:42.940 --> 02:58:43.800
Everyone just wants to play whatever.

02:58:43.800 --> 02:58:46.360
So like you could play a tank and be pretty self-sufficient.

02:58:46.840 --> 02:58:47.400
You know what I mean?

02:58:49.120 --> 02:58:51.760
Uh, do I maintain the agenda for Thor?

02:58:52.760 --> 02:58:55.320
Uh, you don't want, I'm actually going to give you a little bit of agenda.

02:58:55.480 --> 02:58:57.600
I actually think he's kind of falling off a little bit.

02:58:58.080 --> 02:58:59.040
I don't think he's bad.

02:58:59.040 --> 02:59:03.480
But there was like a season or two where he was like genuinely maybe the second best tank in ranked

02:59:05.320 --> 02:59:10.360
But he's he's like all of a sudden I feel like not that great

02:59:12.240 --> 02:59:14.820
I don't know. I feel like he grew he struggles a little bit

02:59:16.960 --> 02:59:21.840
He's he's like kidnap is still okay, but like who you kidnap him, you know mag I guess but like

02:59:23.280 --> 02:59:25.580
You know someone typed did you quit overwatch?

02:59:25.580 --> 02:59:33.020
Brother, I literally am not joking. I think I streamed 35 hours of overwatch in the last

02:59:33.020 --> 02:59:36.620
three days and this guy just asked me, did I quit overwatch? Holy shit, I'm going to

02:59:36.620 --> 02:59:40.060
fucking fall off a cliff. I'm going to hit every single rock on the way down.

02:59:40.060 --> 02:59:46.500
Also, by the way, that's if you're wondering why that's why I'm a little tired today. I

02:59:46.500 --> 02:59:51.500
think I streamed like 15 or 15 hours yesterday, did an eight hours day before that did 12

02:59:51.500 --> 02:59:55.460
or 14 hours a day before that and then another eight hours. Yeah, just been a long week.

02:59:55.460 --> 03:00:00.460
Anyways, um, yeah, I think Thor is actually not bad.

03:00:00.460 --> 03:00:01.460
I think he's not bad.

03:00:01.460 --> 03:00:02.460
I think he's like that.

03:00:02.460 --> 03:00:06.460
I'm no, we're like, he has a place where he can be okay in ranked, but yeah.

03:00:06.460 --> 03:00:07.460
I don't know.

03:00:07.460 --> 03:00:11.460
Honestly, if you, I feel like he just doesn't feel that strong to me this season.

03:00:11.460 --> 03:00:12.460
Okay.

03:00:12.460 --> 03:00:14.460
So this one I need you to lock in for rogue.

03:00:14.460 --> 03:00:20.460
So rogue is one of two places.

03:00:20.460 --> 03:00:22.460
Rogue is either here or

03:00:24.000 --> 03:00:26.000
Rogue is here

03:00:26.240 --> 03:00:32.220
And it's completely dependent on whether or not Gambit is banned or unbanned if Gambit is in play

03:00:33.300 --> 03:00:35.300
Honestly, one of the best tanks in the game

03:00:36.260 --> 03:00:40.900
If gambit is banned, which he is 97% of the time

03:00:41.820 --> 03:00:43.220
here

03:00:43.220 --> 03:00:44.780
Which makes me a little

03:00:44.780 --> 03:00:49.700
Sad because can I actually kind of kind of kind of meant about that for half a second

03:00:50.460 --> 03:00:55.460
Rivals, I feel like, kind of fell off in the team, team of us department.

03:00:56.460 --> 03:00:59.460
The coolest team of us in the game are all banned perma.

03:01:00.460 --> 03:01:05.460
The mag swords perma, the rogue team up perma.

03:01:06.460 --> 03:01:15.460
Both of them, you know, like there's mostly other team ups aren't really that powerful anymore other than like wolf kidnapped with like Hulk is still pretty decent.

03:01:15.460 --> 03:01:17.460
If you actually have a Hulk meta.

03:01:17.460 --> 03:01:23.860
Um, what the Fox charm with Luna is like decently strong, but like it's not fun.

03:01:23.860 --> 03:01:25.460
Like it's like a tiny charm.

03:01:25.500 --> 03:01:26.220
You know what I mean?

03:01:26.560 --> 03:01:28.680
Like it, it, it, it fucking sends out like a little beam.

03:01:28.680 --> 03:01:29.260
It goes, what do you mean?

03:01:29.260 --> 03:01:30.660
And that's like a half second stunts.

03:01:30.660 --> 03:01:31.300
Like, is it strong?

03:01:31.300 --> 03:01:35.860
Like, yeah, but like it's not, it's kind of boring, you know, um, Punisher,

03:01:35.860 --> 03:01:37.320
Dino, perma band.

03:01:37.740 --> 03:01:40.820
I don't want to spoiler it, but you guys probably know Dino perma band.

03:01:41.460 --> 03:01:44.020
Um, what else?

03:01:44.860 --> 03:01:45.220
Strange.

03:01:45.220 --> 03:01:46.180
Invis is kind of good.

03:01:46.180 --> 03:01:48.820
But strange in this is like not really cool

03:01:49.660 --> 03:01:54.820
Like tell me the difference between strange normally and strange within this. I'll tell you the difference

03:01:54.820 --> 03:01:59.020
I think you you pull them in a little bit. I don't know if you do more damage, too

03:01:59.020 --> 03:02:01.020
I think you might do slightly more damage, but you just pull them in

03:02:01.700 --> 03:02:03.700
Blade Moon Knight, you know play blade

03:02:04.980 --> 03:02:06.980
You know play blade

03:02:07.300 --> 03:02:10.980
You know, it's not cool all the cool ones are gone. They're all shit

03:02:10.980 --> 03:02:16.840
You know what I mean pain bros is so fun. Yeah, well pain bros of my EO doesn't totally work. I'll be real with you

03:02:17.880 --> 03:02:21.880
And thing Hulk is not very strong. He's where I'm I'm playing

03:02:23.120 --> 03:02:25.120
And even then it's just like

03:02:25.200 --> 03:02:27.520
Hulk with or it's just thing with green hands

03:02:28.240 --> 03:02:33.840
To get I'm saying it's just thing with green hands. It's not any different. It's just literally green hands thing

03:02:33.840 --> 03:02:43.280
So makes me a little sad regardless though rogue could be actually asked here, but I'm gonna say because the way of the team up

03:02:43.360 --> 03:02:48.260
She's not that good, which means he's sad because eventually someday they're probably gonna remove the gambit rogue team up

03:02:48.260 --> 03:02:50.260
And then like what happens to rogue, you know

03:02:52.000 --> 03:02:56.720
That thing I actually think thing is actually really good this season. I think thing is slept on I

03:02:58.280 --> 03:03:01.960
Think thing is good into dino thing is good into dive

03:03:01.960 --> 03:03:11.600
They gave him a few new tools with like extra damage and he does damage to HP targets like like if you're playing like dino thing

03:03:12.160 --> 03:03:13.500
into

03:03:13.500 --> 03:03:19.380
Like Magdino or sorry Magdino you actually win that like most of the time like you farm them so hard

03:03:20.900 --> 03:03:22.900
What else is he good into?

03:03:25.060 --> 03:03:28.220
Like at the dive characters like if cap's getting played he's pretty decent

03:03:28.220 --> 03:03:31.300
Bp basically just make him not only can't play the video game

03:03:32.340 --> 03:03:36.220
There's a lot of good opportunities to play thing. Unfortunately. You can't play solo thing. You play solo thing

03:03:36.220 --> 03:03:38.140
You're just kind of like explode

03:03:38.140 --> 03:03:43.780
Rogue, yeah, I mean bro has a lot of tools to get away though. So but yeah, I actually like thing want this season

03:03:43.780 --> 03:03:47.460
All right, this one's probably a little spicy. I actually think Penny is pretty decent

03:03:48.020 --> 03:03:50.020
And one thing and one thing only

03:03:50.460 --> 03:03:56.460
If the dino is a band if the dino is unbanned Penny is actually fucking menace like

03:03:56.460 --> 03:04:02.940
She's actually a fucking menace. Have you have you have not encountered the penny dino players?

03:04:02.940 --> 03:04:10.660
I'm just gonna be real with you guys have no idea that just spare you could be bumping into it is die a fucking

03:04:10.660 --> 03:04:15.380
Bollackle penny dino can actually one-shot every single character in the game

03:04:16.380 --> 03:04:20.860
Legitimately every single character in the game. You can't stop it. It's an unstoppable combo

03:04:20.860 --> 03:04:29.060
All the dino has to do is proc his bleed grab you turn you into the mines and you explode. That's it. It's just GG. Good night

03:04:31.420 --> 03:04:33.420
It's actually just lights out

03:04:34.580 --> 03:04:39.700
Unfortunately, no the dinos perma band so with the dino being perma band pennies not that good although however

03:04:41.020 --> 03:04:45.220
Unlike certain apps pennies still like kind of decent like penny would be here without the dino

03:04:45.220 --> 03:04:46.020
I think

03:04:46.020 --> 03:04:49.980
But with the dino team up I act like not team up the dino in play

03:04:49.980 --> 03:04:53.160
I think she's actually pretty decent and I think there's more

03:04:54.980 --> 03:04:56.980
Possibilities of making

03:04:58.540 --> 03:05:03.880
Dino penny work then getting rogue gambit team up like rogue is a perm to gambit's a

03:05:04.140 --> 03:05:09.500
Permaband is an impermanence for so fucking long now knows at least new right? There's a chance maybe surely

03:05:11.420 --> 03:05:13.420
Mag

03:05:13.420 --> 03:05:24.420
So this depends. I think Mag gets farmed by the Dino. If the Dino is unbanned, Mag is actually pretty bad.

03:05:24.420 --> 03:05:41.420
Like really kind of bad. But, but, but, a lot of times not. That said though, I do think Mag is still strong obviously, but not as strong.

03:05:41.420 --> 03:05:46.860
That's what team up. You're never getting the gambit team up. Just like it just pretend you'll never see the gambit team up with

03:05:46.860 --> 03:05:48.940
Mac just it's just never gonna happen, you know

03:05:48.940 --> 03:05:53.180
And I wouldn't even say that the mag gambit team ups really makes him that much better. He's just more fun

03:05:53.660 --> 03:05:55.660
you know

03:05:55.980 --> 03:06:01.220
Also cloak and dagger fell off a fucking a fucking cliff and literally hit every rock on the way down

03:06:01.260 --> 03:06:05.460
They nerfed her old charge generation and or old charge time and that was it

03:06:06.660 --> 03:06:09.540
That character's fucking gone. So like you don't even do mag that much

03:06:09.540 --> 03:06:11.540
You know

03:06:12.020 --> 03:06:15.800
All right the dyno, I'm really sad about the dyno if I'm honest with you

03:06:16.400 --> 03:06:20.460
the dyno is probably my favorite character they've added since like season 2 Emma and

03:06:22.000 --> 03:06:27.340
You know, I don't get to play him. He's just permanent every game. He's genuinely just from a band every single game

03:06:28.580 --> 03:06:34.160
And it's sad because even though he is definitely strong. I don't think he's unbeatable

03:06:34.160 --> 03:06:39.280
I think triple DPS solo tank beats him like solo tank like mag or something

03:06:39.280 --> 03:06:43.360
I know I said that mag gets eaten by the dino, but however you starve him

03:06:43.360 --> 03:06:48.520
Like you basically have to starve the dino and make sure he can't use your tanks to stay alive

03:06:48.800 --> 03:06:51.840
Like if you if you your tanks are there and front-lining him

03:06:51.840 --> 03:06:56.480
He will live forever if he doesn't have anything to eat then he dies, you know

03:06:57.680 --> 03:06:59.120
So I think there's ways to beat him

03:06:59.120 --> 03:07:03.320
But he's a permit ban people don't want to play against him and people don't like have like you look like I think like

03:07:03.320 --> 03:07:08.880
Like if you have dino v dino in the game, I think there's a lot of like cool interactions

03:07:08.880 --> 03:07:09.880
you could have.

03:07:09.880 --> 03:07:14.540
I give you both have Punisher like Punisher fucking fries and Phoenix fries him.

03:07:14.540 --> 03:07:17.480
But Phoenix is also Burban, I guess, to be fair.

03:07:17.480 --> 03:07:20.320
But it does make me really sad because I think the dino is probably the most fun I've had

03:07:20.320 --> 03:07:22.800
with rivals in a very long time and I literally just don't get to play them.

03:07:22.800 --> 03:07:25.880
So then I get to play the same tanks I've been playing since season two.

03:07:25.880 --> 03:07:31.400
You know, it's every game, every game, every game, every game.

03:07:31.400 --> 03:07:33.920
I think that that wears on you as a player,

03:07:34.400 --> 03:07:37.400
like especially as a tank player, like, like I can speak from,

03:07:37.680 --> 03:07:41.720
from personal experience, like there's just nothing new and interesting to,

03:07:41.720 --> 03:07:45.640
to get to play. Do you get what I'm saying? So is what it is.

03:07:47.640 --> 03:07:51.720
Uh, Emma. So Emma's a little weird where

03:07:53.120 --> 03:07:56.080
I feel like on paper Emma's here,

03:07:56.080 --> 03:08:05.360
But in my games, if I'm honest with you, I don't think she is.

03:08:05.360 --> 03:08:07.920
I think she's actually a little overrated.

03:08:07.920 --> 03:08:08.920
She's back.

03:08:08.920 --> 03:08:11.440
She's 100% back.

03:08:11.440 --> 03:08:16.480
But it's because of so much power creep that's happened over time?

03:08:16.480 --> 03:08:18.440
I don't think she's like a pick everywhere.

03:08:18.440 --> 03:08:22.880
I think I could say confident group, you could work almost anywhere.

03:08:22.880 --> 03:08:23.880
Emma?

03:08:23.880 --> 03:08:25.360
I don't know about that.

03:08:25.360 --> 03:08:27.760
Don't know like if you're playing against dives

03:08:27.760 --> 03:08:30.720
She doesn't have any way to like if you're their whole team plays dives like well

03:08:30.720 --> 03:08:34.080
She doesn't have anything to build charge up off of you still have your shift, right?

03:08:34.240 --> 03:08:36.200
Your shift is still there. It's still in play

03:08:36.200 --> 03:08:43.200
But you only get one e you get one grab if you miss it's it's lights out, you know, then you wasted the entire thing so

03:08:45.440 --> 03:08:47.800
She's good against like thing mag

03:08:48.520 --> 03:08:53.520
Groot even a little bit although even actually I actually don't mind the group match up in them. I'm not that afraid of it

03:08:55.360 --> 03:09:01.360
I think probably an organized play should be really strong, but I think in ranked, she's okay.

03:09:01.360 --> 03:09:04.360
What is BAR best in role?

03:09:04.360 --> 03:09:13.360
Next up is Cap. So I think Cap is actually really strong, especially if you have DPS players on your team that are playing hard dive.

03:09:13.360 --> 03:09:19.360
The difference is though in ranked, you're probably not always going to be able to make him work.

03:09:19.360 --> 03:09:27.560
I think, like, if you don't have the DPS follow-up on, on, like, Dive DPS, you are not going to do everything you need to do to get those kills.

03:09:28.400 --> 03:09:35.160
However, though, when you do have the DPS, the Dive DPS that follow-up with you, you will run the lobby.

03:09:35.880 --> 03:09:41.600
And so, in organized play, like, pro-play, I bet he's probably one of the most picked, if not the most banned.

03:09:42.560 --> 03:09:44.040
That would be my guess right now.

03:09:44.160 --> 03:09:46.080
But in ladder, it's a little different.

03:09:46.080 --> 03:09:50.220
Later, you don't have enough, uh, what's the word?

03:09:50.660 --> 03:09:52.520
You don't have enough, like, uh, coordination, like

03:09:52.520 --> 03:09:53.580
people just aren't always there.

03:09:53.580 --> 03:09:56.380
Like they're not on the same page, uh, but he's definitely strong.

03:09:56.520 --> 03:09:57.300
Definitely very good.

03:09:58.420 --> 03:09:59.580
Strange.

03:10:00.020 --> 03:10:06.220
Um, strange is a little tough because also by the way, I'm just

03:10:06.220 --> 03:10:08.900
going to, just for, for, for visualization, I'm going to, I'm

03:10:08.900 --> 03:10:10.300
going to bump Penny down here.

03:10:10.660 --> 03:10:13.880
Um, because like, I don't, we don't have the die now.

03:10:13.880 --> 03:10:19.520
So like, I think she's like the best of these three, but yeah, just for visualization.

03:10:21.620 --> 03:10:27.660
Strange gets annihilated by the dinosaur, annihilated.

03:10:28.320 --> 03:10:33.440
But he's also back to just TP duty, you know, like, I feel like if you have a stranger on your team,

03:10:33.440 --> 03:10:36.860
your chances of winning actually go down because you don't have someone who can TP back.

03:10:38.440 --> 03:10:43.540
You know, it's a little sad, but you know, it is what it is.

03:10:43.540 --> 03:10:47.780
But he's always good. He's always decent. Like if you don't want to pick, pick strange. He'll probably be okay

03:10:48.660 --> 03:10:50.660
most of the time

03:10:52.260 --> 03:10:53.940
Angela

03:10:53.940 --> 03:10:59.260
Hot take I don't think Angela is that bad. Like I've seen a lot of people saying Angela's horrible. I think in a rank

03:10:59.260 --> 03:11:03.380
She's not bad at all. I think she's actually still like has a good place. I

03:11:05.340 --> 03:11:09.420
Obviously you bump into the CC of doom and gloom, but I don't think she's horrible

03:11:09.420 --> 03:11:27.420
Angel is horrible. I just, okay, did you not just hear what I said? I just told you, I don't think she's horrible. I've played a decent amount of Angela games. Yes, you get CC'd into a fucking oblivion sometimes, but she's not horrible.

03:11:27.420 --> 03:11:33.420
Dino feasts on her? First off, when are you seeing Dino in your games? Second, why are you playing Angela into the Dino?

03:11:33.420 --> 03:11:37.660
Dino's permaband.

03:11:41.340 --> 03:11:44.220
You're never seeing that fucker. He's literally banned every game.

03:11:46.860 --> 03:11:51.100
So like to say, oh, she's horrible. Like the Dino wrote, okay, well the Dino's banned every game,

03:11:51.100 --> 03:11:56.780
you know what I mean? So it's like, what are we talking about? Because like if the Dino's not

03:11:56.780 --> 03:12:01.900
banned every game, I'm putting Mag and B tier. Banjo isn't horrible. And I literally had an ult

03:12:01.900 --> 03:12:06.700
today where I ulted on Angel and I hit a piece of map geometry that made it go sideways and

03:12:06.700 --> 03:12:10.340
my ult literally hit nothing. That doesn't mean the character's bad. That means the game's

03:12:10.340 --> 03:12:11.340
fucking jank.

03:12:11.340 --> 03:12:14.900
Regardless, so like, I don't know, I think people over, I think you guys are overreacting.

03:12:14.900 --> 03:12:24.180
I don't think Angel is that bad. I think she absolutely still has a place. Also Hulk, this

03:12:24.180 --> 03:12:31.700
This is an interesting one because Hulk, I see every game and I don't think he's that

03:12:31.700 --> 03:12:33.960
good like in comparison.

03:12:33.960 --> 03:12:37.820
So like, so I think Angela's here and Hulk is here.

03:12:37.820 --> 03:12:41.700
I think he was perception of Angela's here and people's perception of Hulk is here.

03:12:41.700 --> 03:12:44.820
But realistically, they're probably pretty close, if anything.

03:12:44.820 --> 03:12:49.100
I see Hulk most games and a lot of times they're fucking useless.

03:12:49.100 --> 03:12:52.620
You want to talk about feeding the dino?

03:12:52.620 --> 03:12:56.700
This fucker is a hundred times worse than the Dino.

03:12:56.700 --> 03:12:59.260
But you know why the Hulk is worse than the Dino that I think than Angela?

03:12:59.260 --> 03:13:04.700
Yes, the Dino can knock down Angela, absolutely, but the beam isn't that long.

03:13:04.700 --> 03:13:09.900
The thing is, Hulk, he has to jump into engage or he has to be playing somewhere near you.

03:13:09.900 --> 03:13:12.760
You literally used him as a battery.

03:13:12.760 --> 03:13:17.900
He can't play the game and you never die if we're talking about the Dino being involved

03:13:17.900 --> 03:13:18.900
or involved.

03:13:18.900 --> 03:13:24.340
If the Dino's not involved, well, now we're talking group, mag, M1 thing, right?

03:13:24.340 --> 03:13:26.100
Like a couple other things that potentially cap.

03:13:26.620 --> 03:13:28.020
And I still think he's not bad.

03:13:30.300 --> 03:13:31.500
I just don't think he's.

03:13:33.100 --> 03:13:34.300
As good as you guys think.

03:13:35.540 --> 03:13:37.300
So. All right, there you go.

03:13:37.300 --> 03:13:39.220
There's your tanks, though.

03:13:39.220 --> 03:13:41.260
Our BP, or sorry, Black Cat.

03:13:42.260 --> 03:13:46.580
So Black Cat is going to be in contention here for best in role.

03:13:46.580 --> 03:13:50.260
The only reason I'm not putting our best in roll right now is because I think there's

03:13:50.260 --> 03:13:54.460
a couple others we have to talk about before we get there.

03:13:54.460 --> 03:13:57.740
It is both hilarious and stupid to me.

03:13:57.740 --> 03:14:01.580
How many people I saw, because I wasn't here for the first few days of the season.

03:14:01.580 --> 03:14:03.580
I got to play my placements and then I left.

03:14:03.580 --> 03:14:10.580
I went to Nashville and I saw everyone screaming for dino nerfs and I'm like, we didn't nerf

03:14:10.580 --> 03:14:11.580
Black Cat.

03:14:11.580 --> 03:14:14.580
Like, Black Cat came out, everyone thought she was shit, within like a week, everyone,

03:14:14.580 --> 03:14:21.180
Oh, this character is insane, has been permabanned the entire way through, got zero changes at the start of the season. Zero.

03:14:23.580 --> 03:14:24.380
Zero.

03:14:26.380 --> 03:14:26.980
Zero.

03:14:28.880 --> 03:14:29.780
Still a permabanned.

03:14:30.780 --> 03:14:38.180
She literally has so many insane things in her kit that like, it's more than overloaded. It's disgustingly overloaded.

03:14:40.080 --> 03:14:41.080
That said, though,

03:14:41.080 --> 03:14:47.320
I don't know how I can say this. It's not even like the first thing I think of is potentially the most broken right now

03:14:49.000 --> 03:14:54.760
Okay, the thing that annoys me is the dino is so strong quote-unquote it is talking wrong

03:14:55.360 --> 03:15:02.160
But DPS has like four characters that are fighting for like legitimately broke broken status

03:15:02.440 --> 03:15:08.440
But yet the one tank hero, that's really strong. We have to kill it. We have to shoot it as fast as possible

03:15:08.440 --> 03:15:18.560
possible. And now we play 40 BS and no tanks. So into BP, BP, you know, it's weird. I don't

03:15:18.560 --> 03:15:25.080
think BP is horrible. But like the second they decide to go thing and just say I'm done

03:15:25.080 --> 03:15:29.920
with you, you kind of they kind of can't play the game anymore. Now, if they don't want

03:15:29.920 --> 03:15:36.480
to sit there and play counter swap to you, you can kind of roll some teams. But if they

03:15:36.480 --> 03:15:53.160
They feel like I want to win this game.

03:15:53.160 --> 03:15:54.160
You're probably cooked.

03:15:54.160 --> 03:15:56.560
All right, let's talk about this one.

03:15:56.560 --> 03:15:57.760
This is a real tragedy.

03:15:57.760 --> 03:16:03.920
Why the fuck are we eight seasons in and Black Widow has not gotten a rework?

03:16:03.920 --> 03:16:09.360
Why are we eight seasons in and Black Widow has not gotten a rework?

03:16:09.360 --> 03:16:11.640
What's going on?

03:16:11.640 --> 03:16:12.640
Or a buff?

03:16:12.640 --> 03:16:16.000
There's nothing you can buff about Black Widow.

03:16:16.000 --> 03:16:19.360
She's a sniper character and they don't want to have one-shots in the game.

03:16:19.360 --> 03:16:25.200
Rightfully so.

03:16:25.200 --> 03:16:31.480
She's legitimately the poster child of throwing.

03:16:31.480 --> 03:16:33.640
You know?

03:16:33.640 --> 03:16:36.280
Like shit, give her a DMR at this point.

03:16:36.280 --> 03:16:43.080
Do you get what I'm saying, give her a DMR, um, what else?

03:16:43.080 --> 03:16:48.600
Hawkeye, one taps, Hawkeye is very different.

03:16:48.600 --> 03:16:55.280
First off, it's projectile, you technically have to charge it in Widow's hitscan.

03:16:55.280 --> 03:16:57.320
Very different, very different.

03:16:57.320 --> 03:17:00.540
I don't know.

03:17:00.540 --> 03:17:02.160
You could rework her to her support.

03:17:02.160 --> 03:17:08.840
You could basically go the honor route from Overwatch, make her like a sniper support.

03:17:08.840 --> 03:17:12.240
But like characters so butt for so long.

03:17:12.240 --> 03:17:13.240
So I don't know.

03:17:13.240 --> 03:17:15.680
It is what it is.

03:17:15.680 --> 03:17:17.520
Why it's clearly don't know what to do with her.

03:17:17.520 --> 03:17:20.560
It's either they don't know what to do with her or like they're so caught up on their

03:17:20.560 --> 03:17:22.600
content train right now.

03:17:22.600 --> 03:17:28.660
Like the content train is like pushing so hard that they don't have time to slow down

03:17:28.660 --> 03:17:32.660
and do changes, right?

03:17:32.660 --> 03:17:34.160
Like they don't have time to do reworks.

03:17:34.160 --> 03:17:42.040
They don't have time to, you know, make updates or reworks,

03:17:42.040 --> 03:17:43.660
you know, because they're working on the next hero.

03:17:43.660 --> 03:17:46.660
Does that make sense?

03:17:46.660 --> 03:17:48.340
Speaking of which, I'm going to just do it.

03:17:48.340 --> 03:17:50.740
I'm throwing them down there to Blade.

03:17:50.740 --> 03:17:53.180
Like they've done everything for this guy.

03:17:53.180 --> 03:17:56.620
Like Black Widow, Blade got the treatment Black Widow

03:17:56.620 --> 03:17:57.900
should have gotten.

03:17:57.900 --> 03:17:59.180
and it still didn't work.

03:18:00.340 --> 03:18:04.040
You know, Blade got the treatment Black Widow should have

03:18:04.140 --> 03:18:05.580
and it still didn't work.

03:18:05.980 --> 03:18:10.140
They've given him so many micro buffs, so many changes,

03:18:10.340 --> 03:18:11.940
so many things to do.

03:18:13.340 --> 03:18:14.540
And he's still

03:18:15.580 --> 03:18:16.700
butt cheeks.

03:18:18.380 --> 03:18:20.700
He's still ass.

03:18:22.180 --> 03:18:23.900
I don't get it.

03:18:23.900 --> 03:18:32.120
Blade is D tier at least dude. If we're talking D tier and F tier you might as well just be like we're talking about shit and butt

03:18:32.900 --> 03:18:36.460
You know what I mean? We're talking about shit and poop diarrhea and poop

03:18:37.180 --> 03:18:42.960
Shit and throw up like you know what I mean? Like like we're really just we're just arguing semantics at that point

03:18:42.960 --> 03:18:47.780
You know what I mean? Like we're not we're not actually trash versus garbage. There's no difference

03:18:47.780 --> 03:18:53.880
They're in the same trash can't swimming around together. You know shit versus ass shit

03:18:53.900 --> 03:18:58.880
versus blood poop versus shit garbage first it's the same shit you know I mean

03:18:58.880 --> 03:19:04.400
so it is what it is but he's just so butt cheeks and it's sad because he was

03:19:04.400 --> 03:19:10.600
one of the most hyped characters before he came out and now he's just useless

03:19:10.600 --> 03:19:20.420
never even thought about and now we go on to the next broken DPS potentially

03:19:20.420 --> 03:19:27.300
Another potential best in role daredevil the opposite side of the coin of blade

03:19:28.640 --> 03:19:30.000
blade

03:19:30.000 --> 03:19:34.080
Has gotten all the buffs in the world. Can't get out of the shit here

03:19:34.940 --> 03:19:40.200
Daredevil has gotten all the nerfs in the world still dominating still a permaban

03:19:40.640 --> 03:19:42.640
He's got constant wall hacks

03:19:42.880 --> 03:19:48.200
He's got the constant uptime from his combos his alt is still really strong

03:19:48.200 --> 03:19:56.240
He's a menace to support players everywhere support players, especially would rather just ban him then like deal with him in the game

03:19:56.680 --> 03:20:03.120
Rightfully so by the way, don't make no don't think I'm saying like oh so part where I mean

03:20:03.120 --> 03:20:08.020
Maybe it's no I fucking agree with you fuck that guy. I wouldn't want to play with it against him either

03:20:08.400 --> 03:20:13.640
And one of my support players votes daredevil. I'm banning it with them every goddamn time

03:20:13.640 --> 03:20:15.640
I don't think you should have to deal with that

03:20:16.120 --> 03:20:18.120
That said though

03:20:18.200 --> 03:20:26.200
He continues to dominate. He continues to go crazy. He continues to to run the show

03:20:27.320 --> 03:20:29.320
every time

03:20:29.720 --> 03:20:35.020
He's what it is, but I'm not gonna put him in best and roll not just yet at least

03:20:37.720 --> 03:20:45.560
Now you have DPS Deadpool so DPS Deadpool I think actually unironically is really strong

03:20:45.560 --> 03:20:55.040
probably slept on a little bit. I think he's situational. However, though, with Dive being

03:20:55.040 --> 03:21:02.600
pretty strong, there's a lot of places where he can go crazy. I think that people haven't given him

03:21:02.600 --> 03:21:09.400
enough of a try, to be honest with you. I think especially in overtime situations, slash,

03:21:13.960 --> 03:21:22.920
like, last fight situations, he's pretty damn good. And he's never banned. So you can almost

03:21:22.920 --> 03:21:29.560
always play him. So I'm surprised more people don't play him. Maybe it's because like the early

03:21:29.560 --> 03:21:36.120
Rhetoric of how bad he is people would have been afraid to give him a try, but especially after the global nerfs for old charge

03:21:37.240 --> 03:21:39.240
I think he's pretty good

03:21:39.800 --> 03:21:45.200
All right on to Elsa bloodstone another example of a character who's been nerfed many times

03:21:47.200 --> 03:21:49.860
And keeps on trucking not a perm a band

03:21:50.520 --> 03:21:58.080
Technically there are a lot of bands and because there's multi or sorry because there's duplicate bands a lot of times Elsa will

03:21:58.080 --> 03:22:05.180
scraped by the band sequence because she's typically a fifth or sixth band, not

03:22:05.180 --> 03:22:10.100
a first or third, which is kind of like what's important. Like the one through

03:22:10.100 --> 03:22:14.400
three is it's a lot of times dino, black cat, daredevil, one other character

03:22:14.400 --> 03:22:19.100
which is still coming. So I also will slip through a lot of times as like the

03:22:19.100 --> 03:22:21.240
4th, 5th, 6th, uh, bam.

03:22:23.040 --> 03:22:28.880
And I don't really know what to say about her.

03:22:29.300 --> 03:22:30.340
She's just kind of, it's crazy.

03:22:31.420 --> 03:22:32.520
Played low key, isn't that bad?

03:22:32.520 --> 03:22:35.920
I have not seen a single blade player do anything since he's released.

03:22:35.940 --> 03:22:40.300
So like maybe an organized play, but I have not seen a single one anywhere.

03:22:40.340 --> 03:22:41.140
They don't exist.

03:22:41.240 --> 03:22:42.240
Not even, not one.

03:22:42.920 --> 03:22:46.580
And like I bumped into a couple, like I, I think I've played games with people

03:22:46.580 --> 03:22:52.660
like really high rank on blade and like that's what they do and they like no offense like it wasn't

03:22:52.660 --> 03:22:58.900
that crazy you know and honestly I feel a little bit bad apparently we did the number one blade

03:22:58.900 --> 03:23:04.020
a little dirty he was fairly not like fully locked in for the games that we spectated um

03:23:07.140 --> 03:23:10.580
but yeah I remember you guys remember we did the spectating rank on blade and we were like oh

03:23:10.580 --> 03:23:16.100
that's tough regardless though uh I also just really strong we're all so it's insanely good and

03:23:16.100 --> 03:23:19.540
hitscan flavor of the month that can be insane. So not much to say there.

03:23:22.740 --> 03:23:28.020
Generational falloff. I feel like once you see Moxie stop playing a lot of Hanzo,

03:23:28.020 --> 03:23:33.780
not Hanzo, Jesus Christ. Moxie stop playing a lot of Hawkeye. You kind of know that he's probably

03:23:34.820 --> 03:23:40.260
probably, probably dead, you know. But you can easily come back with like one small nerf or

03:23:40.260 --> 03:23:41.420
Or sorry, one small buff.

03:23:43.260 --> 03:23:43.760
You know.

03:23:45.760 --> 03:23:49.160
You can easily come back easily, easily, easily, easily come back.

03:23:51.160 --> 03:23:53.760
Honestly, if cloak and dagger was stronger, maybe even you see him

03:23:53.760 --> 03:23:57.460
you see him more often, but in ranks like you just you just don't see.

03:23:57.460 --> 03:23:58.960
Listen, man, I played overwatch this week.

03:23:58.960 --> 03:23:59.860
Okay, leave me alone.

03:23:59.860 --> 03:24:00.860
I said, Hanzo, relax.

03:24:00.860 --> 03:24:02.760
Moxie played Hanzo in a watch too.

03:24:02.760 --> 03:24:03.260
Relax.

03:24:04.960 --> 03:24:05.360
Hmm.

03:24:06.660 --> 03:24:07.560
On to Hella.

03:24:07.560 --> 03:24:15.920
I think hella is underrated. I think because there's other hitscans that are so insane people like

03:24:15.920 --> 03:24:21.920
kind of sleep on hella sometimes all of a sudden. I think she's still goddamn really fucking strong.

03:24:21.920 --> 03:24:36.200
Really strong. Yes, there's there's like hella 2.0 is now, but I don't know. Like I you bum know

03:24:36.200 --> 03:24:39.560
good. Hello. All of a sudden you remember, oh, shit, that this character's kind of crazy still.

03:24:40.280 --> 03:24:47.240
You know, you pick hello and all the hitskins are banned. Well, yes, but if you're following

03:24:47.800 --> 03:24:53.000
the list here, you're following where things are going, you're kind of seeing it. You'll see it in

03:24:53.000 --> 03:25:01.640
a minute. Torch. I gotta, I gotta say it, I haven't seen any good torches either since they changed

03:25:01.640 --> 03:25:05.460
The changes look promising like all of a sudden he gets his ammo fully back

03:25:05.720 --> 03:25:11.260
He's got like big movement like big dashes, right? But like there's just they're not they don't exist. I

03:25:12.020 --> 03:25:14.320
Haven't seen any of them. You know what? I'm doing it. I haven't seen any

03:25:14.800 --> 03:25:18.220
There's nowhere to be sound nobody seen where the fuck are they? They're all gone

03:25:19.700 --> 03:25:27.140
Where the fuck did they go? They're all dead. I actually know what's funny. I saw a crazy edit for torch on tiktok

03:25:28.520 --> 03:25:30.620
Crazy good at it. I was like damn. This is heat

03:25:31.640 --> 03:25:34.640
That's the one place I've seen a torch though.

03:25:34.640 --> 03:25:36.000
The last six months.

03:25:36.000 --> 03:25:38.960
I haven't seen one anywhere else.

03:25:38.960 --> 03:25:39.960
Iron fist.

03:25:39.960 --> 03:25:40.960
Low key.

03:25:40.960 --> 03:25:41.960
Iron fist pretty decent.

03:25:41.960 --> 03:25:44.160
Low key decent.

03:25:44.160 --> 03:25:47.880
I think he's good into the dino, unironically.

03:25:47.880 --> 03:25:50.320
He's actually pretty decent into the dino.

03:25:50.320 --> 03:25:51.820
Still annoying to Groot.

03:25:51.820 --> 03:25:54.760
I don't know what his killing power looks like now versus like supports and stuff with

03:25:54.760 --> 03:26:00.640
the changes to like his normal damage and to the block, like coming off a little faster,

03:26:00.640 --> 03:26:06.280
But he he's like a shittier Wolverine in a way, but he actually is like arguably has

03:26:06.280 --> 03:26:16.440
more survivability than Wolverine, but also at the same time, doesn't seem to be a little

03:26:16.440 --> 03:26:17.440
bit worse.

03:26:17.440 --> 03:26:20.640
Regardless, I don't know, but I actually think he's pretty decent though.

03:26:20.640 --> 03:26:25.320
I'm actually pretty high on iron fist, but I don't think I could put him any higher on

03:26:25.320 --> 03:26:27.320
this.

03:26:27.320 --> 03:26:42.320
Um, Iron Man, Iron Man, wait, someone just said you're going back on your words and making a tier list in the end, you know what season eight, I didn't make a tier list for season 7.5.

03:26:42.320 --> 03:26:44.320
That's literally what I said.

03:26:47.320 --> 03:26:48.320
Are you stupid?

03:26:48.320 --> 03:27:02.000
You can literally go track. I didn't make one. It would have been within the last month.

03:27:02.000 --> 03:27:07.440
It's not there. I saw a short of yours recently. Great.

03:27:07.440 --> 03:27:12.280
So you're incompetent and you don't understand how algorithms work. And you just said because

03:27:12.280 --> 03:27:17.800
you just saw a short, you means it must have been very recent. Even though there was context

03:27:17.800 --> 03:27:20.360
Guaranteed given in it. Okay. Sure, man

03:27:21.400 --> 03:27:23.400
Well, at least I know what I'm working with here

03:27:25.160 --> 03:27:27.160
An IQ of truly too high

03:27:28.200 --> 03:27:30.200
Anyways iron man

03:27:40.600 --> 03:27:42.600
He was asking you don't

03:27:42.600 --> 03:27:48.760
Man shut your bitch ass up who the fuck says you're going back on your word when you're asking no, you're not you're being a bitch

03:27:48.760 --> 03:27:53.600
Don't that I don't fucking back out. So shut the fuck up. We're gonna so sorry going back to it

03:27:55.200 --> 03:27:56.800
Ironman

03:27:56.800 --> 03:27:58.800
With so many hits games being strong

03:27:59.840 --> 03:28:01.840
With so many hits games being strong

03:28:02.400 --> 03:28:04.400
Mag is just kind of like to leech your alt

03:28:05.080 --> 03:28:07.080
There's just not much there

03:28:07.320 --> 03:28:09.320
He's flying squirrel girl

03:28:09.320 --> 03:28:11.820
On ironically I kind of agree with you. I

03:28:12.440 --> 03:28:16.160
Kind of agree with you. I think he's more skillful than squirrel girl a little bit

03:28:16.880 --> 03:28:18.240
and

03:28:18.240 --> 03:28:19.920
I wish

03:28:19.920 --> 03:28:25.280
Honestly, I like playing Iron Man. I actually think he's really fun. I genuinely really enjoy playing Iron Man

03:28:28.640 --> 03:28:35.320
But he's got a blood cheese he's got it. Yeah, he's flying squirrel girl. You're right. He's flying squirrel girl. You're not wrong

03:28:35.320 --> 03:28:42.320
All right, next magic magic continues to have the highest win rate of any character in the game other than penny parker on certain seasons

03:28:42.320 --> 03:28:46.240
And I don't I don't know how to fuck. She does it. I don't see good magic that often. They're very rare

03:28:47.000 --> 03:28:52.600
It's actually more common for somebody that like to get angry and swap magic and not like go crazy

03:28:52.880 --> 03:28:58.880
There's like fucking six of them. I swear to God. I still can't I don't understand how this character is such a high win rate

03:28:58.880 --> 03:29:02.680
I just don't see them. They're never they're never they're gone. They're like ghosts

03:29:02.680 --> 03:29:08.140
They they must be like in the back ends of the server. They must only play it like two in the morning or something

03:29:08.140 --> 03:29:13.700
I don't know. I don't know what the fuck they do, but a good magic can definitely be scary, but I I got nothing

03:29:13.700 --> 03:29:15.440
I got nothing

03:29:15.440 --> 03:29:19.720
Mr. Fantastic, so Mr. Fantastic got some good changes this season

03:29:19.720 --> 03:29:25.400
They took away his CC for flyers and stuff like that, but they gave him an extra five damage

03:29:25.880 --> 03:29:27.880
on each hit

03:29:29.840 --> 03:29:31.920
And he's still butt cheeks

03:29:32.680 --> 03:29:44.840
Now, if you're on console though, if you're on console, he's actually probably about here.

03:29:44.840 --> 03:29:53.140
If you're on console, because on console, his skin isn't as strong melee characters dominate.

03:29:53.140 --> 03:29:56.680
But where I play, he's butt.

03:29:56.680 --> 03:30:00.500
He is not getting picked unless someone's trolling.

03:30:00.500 --> 03:30:09.500
Maybe not this bad, maybe I'm a little harsh putting the mafts here, he's not quite that bad, but he's definitely down here, he's definitely not very good.

03:30:10.500 --> 03:30:17.500
His punch is still bugged, wait, wait, wait, is it the bug that I saw where like one fist is 75 damage and the other one is 70?

03:30:18.500 --> 03:30:22.500
Like they only buffed one of his arms, is that the bug?

03:30:24.500 --> 03:30:25.500
Oh they fixed it?

03:30:26.500 --> 03:30:27.500
Okay but that was a funny bug.

03:30:27.500 --> 03:30:34.500
That was a really funny bug. For those who didn't see it was bugged for a little bit where only one arm was doing the extra damage.

03:30:34.500 --> 03:30:41.500
The other one wasn't. Yeah, it was actually pretty good.

03:30:41.500 --> 03:30:49.500
Okay, Moon Knight. I think Moon Knight is actually insanely good this season. Like almost band worthy.

03:30:49.500 --> 03:30:56.060
like maybe close to S tier, not quite, but close. Insanely good versus the dyno, insanely

03:30:56.060 --> 03:31:04.460
good versus Groot and like Bunker comps like Groot, Thing, Mag, Emma even. He does pretty

03:31:04.460 --> 03:31:12.060
decent damage to like Venom, right? With the high tank comps that just like stand together,

03:31:12.060 --> 03:31:18.860
he actually shreds and because the support ult or sorry the global nerf to ult charge supports

03:31:18.860 --> 03:31:24.220
get their ult slower, Moon Knight still gets his ult instantly, and a lot of times Moon Knight will

03:31:24.220 --> 03:31:28.780
build ult before anyone else in the lobby. So you actually get a free Moon Knight ult basically to

03:31:28.780 --> 03:31:35.740
start every game. It's fucking disgusting. I bet on console it goes crazy, but he's genuinely a

03:31:35.740 --> 03:31:40.540
menace. Like, oh sorry I actually put him, is this the DPS pull? Yeah, I think he's actually

03:31:40.540 --> 03:31:45.660
probably one of the best DPS that's not broken right now in the game. Like Moon Knight I think is

03:31:45.660 --> 03:31:49.500
the gold standard right now of a very strong DPS that's not broken.

03:31:52.060 --> 03:31:59.180
On to Namor. I think Namor is also very strong, especially when Dive is really strong and prevalent,

03:31:59.180 --> 03:32:04.620
which I think it's less so this season than it was last season. However, though, I don't think he's

03:32:04.620 --> 03:32:10.140
like dominating the game or anything. I think he's like in a pretty solid spot. Pairs well with

03:32:10.140 --> 03:32:15.340
with Brute, pairs well when your team is getting hard rolled by Dive, hella Namor is nice,

03:32:15.340 --> 03:32:20.660
but like really not required and honestly just giving that much of a boost anymore.

03:32:20.660 --> 03:32:22.420
Regardless though, I think he's actually pretty strong.

03:32:22.420 --> 03:32:28.100
I don't think he's like busted in any way, but he does provide a lot of value, like honestly

03:32:28.100 --> 03:32:32.140
maybe even like the high end of B, but I don't think he's like a pick every game, like all

03:32:32.140 --> 03:32:35.060
of these guys you can pick every game.

03:32:35.060 --> 03:32:40.180
X joins the S tier if not best in roll.

03:32:40.180 --> 03:32:44.420
I'm not done with this yet, I'm gonna be my best in roll at the end for the DPS roll,

03:32:44.420 --> 03:32:54.940
but genuinely there is 1, 2, 3, 4 DPS characters that are legitimate perma-bands, arguably most

03:32:54.940 --> 03:33:01.940
broken characters in the entire fucking game, and we're still crying about the dyno.

03:33:01.940 --> 03:33:09.040
I'll be real with you, I have never been more annoyed reading other people's opinions in

03:33:09.040 --> 03:33:14.540
online sentiment about a video game in a long time.

03:33:14.540 --> 03:33:20.360
Genuinely horrific, genuine idiotic, Jesus Christ, I can't fucking speak, I'm getting

03:33:20.360 --> 03:33:21.360
so annoyed.

03:33:21.360 --> 03:33:29.280
It is actually unbelievable how strong Phoenix is now.

03:33:29.280 --> 03:33:32.080
A buffed nerf combo would, like, okay,

03:33:32.080 --> 03:33:34.900
so you guys know why Phoenix is the way she is, right?

03:33:34.900 --> 03:33:37.400
You know why that in the lower ranks,

03:33:37.400 --> 03:33:39.940
she's really bad, in the higher ranks she dominates.

03:33:39.940 --> 03:33:41.200
So they thought it was a good idea

03:33:41.200 --> 03:33:45.160
to give her five extra damage per shot

03:33:45.160 --> 03:33:47.160
and then nerf the right click.

03:33:47.160 --> 03:33:49.600
The right click is what probably most metal players

03:33:49.600 --> 03:33:52.000
are gonna use, they don't hit the left clicks as much.

03:33:52.000 --> 03:33:55.120
So they nerf the part of the kit that was stronger to them

03:33:55.120 --> 03:33:56.840
and buff the part of the kit

03:33:56.840 --> 03:33:59.700
that was actually really good at the high end.

03:33:59.700 --> 03:34:04.360
So at the high end, you do like 110 damage a headshot.

03:34:04.360 --> 03:34:06.520
You fucking delete people.

03:34:07.360 --> 03:34:09.840
Right click like the explosion, like the,

03:34:09.840 --> 03:34:10.680
you know what I'm talking about,

03:34:10.680 --> 03:34:11.600
the right click is like the thing you shoot at the ground

03:34:11.600 --> 03:34:13.440
and it goes, phew, and like gives like the sparks

03:34:13.440 --> 03:34:15.160
to everyone, that's what it is.

03:34:15.160 --> 03:34:19.540
It is actually un-fucking-fathomable,

03:34:19.540 --> 03:34:20.840
that that's what they did.

03:34:22.080 --> 03:34:23.860
Unfathomable.

03:34:23.860 --> 03:34:29.860
And then we also still have black cat untouched daredevil still annihilates and Elsa is

03:34:31.260 --> 03:34:33.260
Number five four five six ban

03:34:33.820 --> 03:34:36.320
insane on the sidewalk I

03:34:37.780 --> 03:34:39.780
Know silo supposed to be pretty decent

03:34:39.780 --> 03:34:45.580
But I feel like I'm not that scared of likes siloks like a lot of time where I think that

03:34:45.900 --> 03:34:51.180
Depending on like okay, it's such a hit or miss you have the silo that runs the long be or you have the siloq you didn't even know existed

03:34:51.540 --> 03:34:53.540
It's a 50 50

03:34:53.860 --> 03:34:58.360
It's genuinely a 50-50, and I think the 50-50 depends on how good your support players are.

03:34:59.360 --> 03:35:04.860
If your support players are actually competent and actually have hands, Syloc's not that strong.

03:35:04.860 --> 03:35:11.360
If Syloc, if they do not have hands and are not competent and they don't work together, Syloc will run your entire team down.

03:35:12.360 --> 03:35:15.360
It's weird. In ranked especially, that's where it's really strong.

03:35:15.360 --> 03:35:22.860
Outside of that, the pro play, organized play, I can see you're definitely being lower, but at the moment, that's where I'm at.

03:35:22.860 --> 03:35:24.860
Scarlet Witch.

03:35:28.580 --> 03:35:30.580
I will not be elaborating any further.

03:35:35.980 --> 03:35:37.980
Spider-Man.

03:35:41.140 --> 03:35:43.140
I see a Spidey every fucking game.

03:35:45.060 --> 03:35:47.060
I see a Spidey every fucking game.

03:35:47.620 --> 03:35:52.780
They're goddamn every game. When Spidey was actually bad, you didn't see them anymore.

03:35:52.860 --> 03:35:56.280
unless they were throwing, I see one every fucking game.

03:35:58.140 --> 03:36:00.320
That means he must be playable.

03:36:00.320 --> 03:36:01.800
Otherwise they would lose enough games

03:36:01.800 --> 03:36:03.420
that they would just be sick of it.

03:36:04.760 --> 03:36:07.960
It's almost like Spidey's been good for a while, guys.

03:36:13.440 --> 03:36:16.440
It's almost like Spidey's been good for a while

03:36:16.440 --> 03:36:19.500
and they kind of gaslit everybody into saying he's not good.

03:36:19.500 --> 03:36:26.500
He's played every fucking game.

03:36:26.500 --> 03:36:31.500
I wonder why.

03:36:31.500 --> 03:36:34.500
Interesting.

03:36:34.500 --> 03:36:39.500
It's only somebody tried to warn you.

03:36:39.500 --> 03:36:43.500
But you guys fell for the bait.

03:36:43.500 --> 03:36:47.500
You fell for it.

03:36:47.500 --> 03:36:55.740
You kind of fell for it. Anyways, um, so real squirrel girl to the flying squirrel girl.

03:37:09.740 --> 03:37:13.900
Of course, the one of course, the guy in the chat who was like, hurry up already, we're gonna hurry up

03:37:13.900 --> 03:37:16.460
drops of slur.

03:37:16.460 --> 03:37:18.500
Bro, you're a disappointment to your parents,

03:37:18.500 --> 03:37:20.500
you're a disappointment to society,

03:37:20.500 --> 03:37:23.020
your parents genuinely regret you.

03:37:23.020 --> 03:37:25.220
And I genuinely hope you get help

03:37:25.220 --> 03:37:28.820
because thinking like that and like being racist

03:37:28.820 --> 03:37:32.260
is fucking bomb of the Barrel Society member right there,

03:37:32.260 --> 03:37:35.020
man, no job's gonna ever wanna hire you,

03:37:35.020 --> 03:37:36.900
no girl's ever gonna wanna be with you,

03:37:36.900 --> 03:37:38.900
no one's gonna ever gonna wanna talk to you.

03:37:38.900 --> 03:37:41.420
Please get some help, man.

03:37:41.420 --> 03:37:42.260
Get some help.

03:37:42.260 --> 03:37:43.220
And I know you're probably like 13,

03:37:43.220 --> 03:37:46.180
like talk to a counselor, talk to a counselor.

03:37:52.020 --> 03:37:54.940
Good Lord, every time without fail to

03:37:56.780 --> 03:37:58.780
on to the next one.

03:38:01.180 --> 03:38:02.860
Star Lord.

03:38:02.860 --> 03:38:05.220
So I actually, I might have to take back what I said earlier about Moon Knight

03:38:05.220 --> 03:38:09.340
being the gold standard of like really strong DPS without being broken.

03:38:10.280 --> 03:38:14.240
Star Wars kind of there, but you actually do ban Star Wars sometimes Moon

03:38:14.240 --> 03:38:19.400
Night only gets banned if they're playing on the playing the dino Star Wars like a six or seven ban give or take

03:38:19.400 --> 03:38:21.400
I wish I didn't say that regardless though

03:38:21.820 --> 03:38:27.800
He's not getting banned most games, but there are games if you have a spider on your team good example or like

03:38:28.200 --> 03:38:30.200
at fly a certain flyers

03:38:30.940 --> 03:38:31.940
especially

03:38:31.940 --> 03:38:33.940
Though we having a star Lord

03:38:34.320 --> 03:38:38.400
That said though, I think Star Lord feels like one of the most honest DPS

03:38:38.400 --> 03:38:46.080
And before some fucking absolute chud goes, well, how do you say he has an auto-aim alt?

03:38:46.080 --> 03:38:47.720
First off, shut the fuck up.

03:38:47.720 --> 03:38:53.040
I know for a fact that you play a character that has auto-aim on it consistently.

03:38:53.040 --> 03:38:56.680
Second off, yes, he does have an auto-aim alt.

03:38:56.680 --> 03:39:02.840
However, I do think that his neutral play is actually pretty fair, and he has a lot

03:39:02.840 --> 03:39:09.040
of tools that can be both counterable, but also give him ways to survive that don't feel

03:39:09.040 --> 03:39:10.040
so bullshit.

03:39:10.040 --> 03:39:11.040
Right?

03:39:11.040 --> 03:39:12.540
You don't feel he got cheesed.

03:39:12.540 --> 03:39:17.680
I think dying towards Star Lord a lot of times, he feels skillful in a lot of ways.

03:39:17.680 --> 03:39:20.720
So I gotta get, I'll give him a pass.

03:39:20.720 --> 03:39:26.680
I think he's actually kind of the gold standard of like a really strong DPS character, sometimes

03:39:26.680 --> 03:39:32.960
worth the ban. However, I'm okay with where he's at, even after the buffs, which I think

03:39:32.960 --> 03:39:39.720
we're a little much. I'm okay with it for a season, just not much more than a season.

03:39:39.720 --> 03:39:45.640
Storm. Okay, this is gonna be a hot take, guys. I think Storm is awful. I, I spend some time

03:39:45.640 --> 03:39:49.200
trying to learn Storm because I always thought very highly of Storm, right? Because I bump

03:39:49.200 --> 03:39:53.960
into like the once in a while Storm player who's actually good, right? And it's like,

03:39:53.960 --> 03:39:56.400
you know, maybe most people just think she's boring and they don't want to put time into

03:39:56.400 --> 03:40:02.360
But she's strong right she's good at breaking spawn holes. She has a lot of situational times and I'm ladder like people do make it work

03:40:03.800 --> 03:40:09.160
And so I spent some time trying to learn it and I did I started to learn like what you had to look for like

03:40:09.160 --> 03:40:12.160
You're first off your spidey food, but like you have to look for certain situations

03:40:12.160 --> 03:40:14.760
And I was like why am I doing all of these things?

03:40:16.080 --> 03:40:19.400
For like a minimum value and it's boring as fuck

03:40:20.160 --> 03:40:22.160
What am I doing?

03:40:26.400 --> 03:40:38.080
Why am I spending all this time and all this effort to do what I could do on fucking Phoenix

03:40:38.080 --> 03:40:42.240
by clicking a button twice?

03:40:42.240 --> 03:40:43.920
You know what I mean?

03:40:43.920 --> 03:40:45.920
What's the point?

03:40:45.920 --> 03:40:46.920
What is even the point of it?

03:40:46.920 --> 03:40:49.120
It just doesn't make like much sense.

03:40:49.120 --> 03:40:53.360
It doesn't make much sense at all, you know?

03:40:53.360 --> 03:40:56.360
All right, Punisher.

03:40:59.360 --> 03:41:00.360
Hate me if you want.

03:41:03.360 --> 03:41:06.360
He's band-worthy. I'd argue he's band-worthy.

03:41:08.360 --> 03:41:10.360
I think he's absolutely band-worthy.

03:41:12.360 --> 03:41:16.360
It's not, guys, it's genuinely not even just the shotgun anymore.

03:41:16.360 --> 03:41:21.360
I know everybody knows about shotgun Punisher now, and like, you know, Momo had a big impact.

03:41:21.360 --> 03:41:26.080
impact. I spectated him. I tried a little bit myself. I saw how strong it is. I'll be real with

03:41:26.080 --> 03:41:32.720
you guys. I think it's more than that. It really is. Punisher is one of the few DPS in the game

03:41:32.720 --> 03:41:40.080
that requires you to swap for him, especially as a tank player. You need to go with mag. If you do

03:41:40.080 --> 03:41:50.480
not have a mag against Punisher, you typically just lose on the spot. He's consistent. He gets back

03:41:50.480 --> 03:41:58.960
fast when you start learning the rollouts or how to do the zip lines, you start to learn

03:41:58.960 --> 03:42:02.600
how to use the shotgun up close, you start to learn how to one-shot cloak and daggers

03:42:02.600 --> 03:42:06.520
out of their ult, you learn how to one-shot supports out of their ults in general. There

03:42:06.520 --> 03:42:17.840
are so many things this guy does. This guy does so many goddamn things. It is disgusting.

03:42:17.840 --> 03:42:20.980
Next up is Bucky.

03:42:20.980 --> 03:42:23.660
Bucky is pretty damn strong.

03:42:23.660 --> 03:42:27.460
I don't think he's broken by any means.

03:42:27.460 --> 03:42:30.300
Like I think he's actually in a good spot right now.

03:42:30.300 --> 03:42:35.020
I think that the damage buff and the ult buff was nice.

03:42:35.020 --> 03:42:39.580
It actually made him killable again and it doesn't feel like you have to sit there and

03:42:39.580 --> 03:42:44.220
just hold your hook and hold your shift and hold all these things waiting for the divers

03:42:44.220 --> 03:42:46.140
to jump in to you to stop them.

03:42:46.140 --> 03:42:52.620
actually get to play the game again. He feels good and feels fair to play against. However,

03:42:52.620 --> 03:42:56.620
I think there's an argument that he could even be an S tier. I actually don't even think he's

03:42:56.620 --> 03:43:01.740
like that far off. I think he's like Moon Knight, like the tip. He's right at the tip.

03:43:02.940 --> 03:43:09.260
Just the edge of the tip. Right at the edge of the tip. It's crazy.

03:43:09.260 --> 03:43:17.980
Last but not least Wolverine. Wolverine I think is actually really strong as well. I don't know if

03:43:17.980 --> 03:43:23.180
I want to say is broken, but I think Wolverine's right here with the Moon Knight and and and

03:43:24.060 --> 03:43:32.060
Bucky where again some of the tanks in this meta he can absolutely shred. So granted dyno,

03:43:33.260 --> 03:43:37.100
I don't know if you want to play wolven to dyno, but you could especially if they have them,

03:43:37.100 --> 03:43:42.620
But he will still get into group and then the other tanks that are here less good into Emma less good into the thing

03:43:42.860 --> 03:43:45.340
However pause. I actually think

03:43:46.220 --> 03:43:47.660
Thing and

03:43:47.660 --> 03:43:52.620
Wolf have synergy and anti synergy where if you are playing in a thing match up

03:43:52.940 --> 03:43:56.700
Having a wolf is actually very good because you still get the team up where you can throw them

03:43:57.020 --> 03:44:03.180
But actually i'm i think wolf still eats thing pretty hard. Yes, you can't kidnap him

03:44:03.180 --> 03:44:10.060
But like just W key and a thing with some support and he just like sits there just swinging on you

03:44:10.380 --> 03:44:12.620
he will kill that thing over time and

03:44:13.540 --> 03:44:16.820
Makes it a lot harder for them to play the game, right?

03:44:18.100 --> 03:44:23.380
So even though I think wolf like you don't like oh, they're playing thing. Let me go wolf

03:44:23.380 --> 03:44:25.380
I don't think you have to swap off the wolf either

03:44:25.380 --> 03:44:30.800
I think he works versus thing works with thing works against thing, but it isn't the counter to thing

03:44:30.800 --> 03:44:32.800
Does that make sense?

03:44:33.180 --> 03:44:35.180
Does that make sense?

03:44:36.180 --> 03:44:38.180
I don't know if that makes sense.

03:44:38.180 --> 03:44:42.180
Okay, now for the last most important part, best in role.

03:44:42.180 --> 03:44:46.180
And before I nominate a best in role, I want you to look at this list.

03:44:46.180 --> 03:44:48.180
Do you guys notice anything?

03:44:49.180 --> 03:44:51.180
Do you guys notice anything?

03:44:55.180 --> 03:44:58.180
We're complaining about the dyno the whole season.

03:44:58.180 --> 03:45:03.180
And look at the rest of the DPS roster.

03:45:03.180 --> 03:45:08.180
Look at the rest of the DPS roster.

03:45:08.180 --> 03:45:14.180
It is fucking dominating.

03:45:14.180 --> 03:45:18.180
They're all strong.

03:45:18.180 --> 03:45:24.180
And for this top row, you could make arguments for four of the characters being the best in the role.

03:45:24.180 --> 03:45:27.180
Now let's nominate one. It's Phoenix.

03:45:27.180 --> 03:45:28.760
Phoenix is best in role.

03:45:30.260 --> 03:45:31.340
Depending on what ELO you're at,

03:45:31.340 --> 03:45:33.260
I think Black Cat or Daredevil

03:45:33.260 --> 03:45:35.260
could be the best for your role.

03:45:35.260 --> 03:45:36.940
Like depending on like if you're in gold or something

03:45:36.940 --> 03:45:39.540
or plat, I could definitely see where like these guys,

03:45:39.540 --> 03:45:41.300
maybe you're there, but like for where I play,

03:45:41.300 --> 03:45:43.300
it's Phoenix, Phoenix has been every single game,

03:45:43.300 --> 03:45:44.140
permaband.

03:45:45.740 --> 03:45:46.680
And that said,

03:45:51.100 --> 03:45:51.940
what do we do?

03:45:53.100 --> 03:45:55.660
They're the strongest characters in the game

03:45:55.660 --> 03:45:56.820
and it's not close.

03:45:57.180 --> 03:46:09.240
It's not close, but hey guys that dino dino is ruining the game guys the dinos ruin the

03:46:09.240 --> 03:46:25.340
game on to support Adam I'm sorry buddy Adam I just don't think it's very good I don't

03:46:25.340 --> 03:46:30.540
he's horrible but I don't think he's very good. This is not really a reason to pick him a lot of

03:46:30.540 --> 03:46:36.620
times. You have to play him in triple and Ultron's are so much better in triple than Adam is.

03:46:39.500 --> 03:46:44.540
Adam at least has some utility though. Yeah, see Genuinely might be generous. You're right.

03:46:44.540 --> 03:46:50.780
He might be generous. I think there's certain situations where he can be good though.

03:46:50.780 --> 03:46:56.660
I think there can be certain certain certain situations, but most of the time he's bad

03:47:00.860 --> 03:47:02.860
Most of the time he's bad

03:47:03.100 --> 03:47:06.660
You'll pay me with two months. Sorry. I'm gonna get me get for all this. I'll come back to you guys appreciate

03:47:07.260 --> 03:47:09.180
cloak and dagger

03:47:09.180 --> 03:47:12.380
Guys, I think cloak and dagger had a generational fall off

03:47:14.220 --> 03:47:16.220
Generational fall off

03:47:16.220 --> 03:47:23.300
Hey guys, listen, listen.

03:47:23.300 --> 03:47:26.220
You guys keep getting baited.

03:47:26.220 --> 03:47:27.220
You guys keep getting baited.

03:47:27.220 --> 03:47:31.300
One of these days we're going to figure it out, but you guys keep getting baited.

03:47:31.300 --> 03:47:35.540
Remember everyone was saying how, oh, Cloak and Dagger are so good into dive.

03:47:35.540 --> 03:47:37.940
Why haven't the last season we had dive?

03:47:37.940 --> 03:47:41.100
I didn't make my tier list last season, but do you think Cloak and Dagger was one of the

03:47:41.100 --> 03:47:42.980
best supports in the game last season?

03:47:42.980 --> 03:47:44.740
Hey, listen, I didn't make my tier list.

03:47:44.740 --> 03:47:47.440
I'm just saying, you make your own opinion.

03:47:47.440 --> 03:47:48.480
Make your own opinion.

03:47:48.480 --> 03:47:51.200
But I know my answer.

03:47:51.200 --> 03:47:53.920
I know my answer.

03:47:53.920 --> 03:47:57.600
And now here she is with the nerfed alt.

03:47:57.600 --> 03:47:59.320
Why would you pick her?

03:47:59.320 --> 03:48:01.640
Unless all the other supports are banned.

03:48:01.640 --> 03:48:02.240
There's no reason.

03:48:05.080 --> 03:48:06.560
There's not really a reason.

03:48:06.560 --> 03:48:08.560
There isn't at all.

03:48:08.560 --> 03:48:10.960
Not even a little.

03:48:10.960 --> 03:48:12.600
So, listen, hey.

03:48:16.400 --> 03:48:18.320
Okay, let me say redeeming qualities.

03:48:18.320 --> 03:48:21.360
Redeeming qualities is the double window is nice.

03:48:21.360 --> 03:48:23.080
You can blow people up with the double window.

03:48:23.080 --> 03:48:26.120
The ult is still strong, much less so than before

03:48:26.120 --> 03:48:28.160
because it doesn't last as long.

03:48:28.160 --> 03:48:30.000
You also don't get it up as fast.

03:48:30.000 --> 03:48:32.000
Dive being really prevalent also probably

03:48:32.000 --> 03:48:33.520
did a bit of a number on you.

03:48:33.520 --> 03:48:34.360
You don't have to aim.

03:48:34.360 --> 03:48:35.360
I mean, that's never been a thing

03:48:35.360 --> 03:48:38.120
with the Colgan Dagger, but regardless though,

03:48:38.120 --> 03:48:42.920
I think she's just significantly worse than she was is what it is

03:48:43.600 --> 03:48:46.480
Okay, this is a weird one support pool. So support pool

03:48:47.240 --> 03:48:54.760
I've seen some people saying is insane and I've also had some I've had my own experiences and I don't think he's that great. I

03:48:56.880 --> 03:48:59.200
Don't think he's that great, but I don't think he's bad

03:48:59.200 --> 03:49:04.280
I think he's better than than than he like than before because people will either learn how to play him

03:49:04.760 --> 03:49:07.200
But I also think he's a triple support merchant

03:49:08.120 --> 03:49:19.120
He's A with DPS pool. Support pool is A with DPS pool. That's what we're saying.

03:49:19.120 --> 03:49:29.120
Buddy, you can't play two versions of Deadpool at the same time. How is that possible?

03:49:29.120 --> 03:49:41.320
No, he's in the same area of the chart.

03:49:41.320 --> 03:49:46.120
Yeah, I think you guys are crazy.

03:49:46.120 --> 03:49:48.520
I don't think he's bad.

03:49:48.520 --> 03:49:55.220
I think he's gotten better as people have learned how he actually, I think, has the highest

03:49:55.220 --> 03:50:04.020
healing output you can do in the game with his boomerang and his E, but I think you guys

03:50:04.020 --> 03:50:11.220
are falling for stats. You guys are getting stat checked. You know, you know, support pool

03:50:11.220 --> 03:50:17.380
is the, is like the low key throwing character, right? Like, you know, Black Widow is the poster

03:50:17.380 --> 03:50:23.540
child for throwing. You guys know support pool is the I want to secretly throw character, right?

03:50:25.220 --> 03:50:27.220
Do you guys not know this?

03:50:32.060 --> 03:50:37.500
He literally is he farms huge numbers, but it doesn't do anything for your team

03:50:39.140 --> 03:50:44.740
If you wanted to throw if you want to soft throw someone's game and not get caught you play support pool I

03:50:46.940 --> 03:50:52.740
There's multiple pro players there's multiple people I could call right now if they're awake and I could ask them that question

03:50:52.740 --> 03:50:54.740
They would go yeah

03:50:55.220 --> 03:51:09.460
Let me see if Riggs is awake.

03:51:09.460 --> 03:51:16.740
Are you awake?

03:51:16.740 --> 03:51:17.620
I got a question.

03:51:27.780 --> 03:51:28.380
See what he says.

03:51:29.060 --> 03:51:29.740
I don't know if he's awake.

03:51:30.260 --> 03:51:31.180
It's kind of late his time.

03:51:31.220 --> 03:51:33.620
It's like one in the morning or two in the morning.

03:51:33.740 --> 03:51:34.260
See what he says.

03:51:35.900 --> 03:51:39.620
Um, yeah, I think you guys, I think you guys are falling for numbers.

03:51:40.880 --> 03:51:41.580
Oh, he said, yes sir.

03:51:41.580 --> 03:51:46.500
What's up is support pool still the light.

03:51:46.740 --> 03:52:00.260
So the, like, which I can't type. If you want to secretly throw character, you pick him.

03:52:02.420 --> 03:52:06.180
Since he pumps numbers.

03:52:06.180 --> 03:52:24.180
I'm streaming right now, and I was talking about how that was a thing, and no one believes

03:52:24.180 --> 03:52:25.020
to me.

03:52:29.980 --> 03:52:30.980
A lot of thinking time.

03:52:35.500 --> 03:52:36.340
See who says.

03:52:37.340 --> 03:52:42.340
While away from the respond, moving on to Enviz.

03:52:42.620 --> 03:52:44.720
So Enviz, we didn't respond.

03:52:48.020 --> 03:52:49.100
Hey, you wake up a question.

03:52:49.100 --> 03:52:49.940
This is Riggs by the way.

03:52:49.940 --> 03:52:53.220
Riggs was the highest damage dealing EU player by the way.

03:52:53.220 --> 03:52:54.620
this past MRC.

03:52:56.060 --> 03:52:56.900
Yes, sir, what's up?

03:52:56.900 --> 03:52:59.180
Sports rules, still like the secret long throw character.

03:52:59.180 --> 03:53:00.180
You pick them and send them numbers.

03:53:00.180 --> 03:53:01.740
I'm sure right now, I know someone has a thing,

03:53:01.740 --> 03:53:02.700
but no one believes me.

03:53:02.700 --> 03:53:04.020
Oh, LOL, yes.

03:53:11.500 --> 03:53:13.500
Thank you, my goat.

03:53:14.540 --> 03:53:16.020
Have a good night.

03:53:23.220 --> 03:53:26.620
Anyways, do I think he's probably better now?

03:53:26.620 --> 03:53:27.460
Yes.

03:53:28.300 --> 03:53:30.260
Was that still a thing for a while?

03:53:31.140 --> 03:53:31.980
Yes.

03:53:35.480 --> 03:53:37.520
Of course your friend is gonna go with what you're saying.

03:53:37.520 --> 03:53:39.260
All right, well then you go find someone else, man.

03:53:39.260 --> 03:53:41.500
I don't, honestly, I don't give a fuck.

03:53:41.500 --> 03:53:45.720
I'm here to share my thoughts with you guys

03:53:45.720 --> 03:53:48.220
and tell you what I think is how things are

03:53:48.220 --> 03:53:50.640
and you can either use this as useful information

03:53:50.640 --> 03:53:54.880
Or you can use it as like a health check of the game.

03:53:54.880 --> 03:53:56.880
I don't give a single fuck.

03:53:56.880 --> 03:53:59.440
You can say, oh, it's not a real thing.

03:54:01.640 --> 03:54:02.640
Here's Riggsy, by the way.

03:54:02.640 --> 03:54:04.040
Yo, trifecta, I think if I get to do that,

03:54:04.040 --> 03:54:05.040
I got these fuckers saying,

03:54:05.040 --> 03:54:06.760
well, he's your friend, that's why he's agreeing with you.

03:54:06.760 --> 03:54:08.160
No, it's a real thing.

03:54:08.160 --> 03:54:10.520
Bro, I think you literally tweeted about it months ago.

03:54:10.520 --> 03:54:12.800
I swear to God, I think I saw a tweet

03:54:12.800 --> 03:54:14.920
from you specifically, Riggsy.

03:54:14.920 --> 03:54:19.160
Did I not, did I not, did I see you,

03:54:19.160 --> 03:54:20.520
did you tweet about it a while ago,

03:54:20.520 --> 03:54:21.520
Or am I crazy?

03:54:30.280 --> 03:54:31.120
You didn't tweet about it?

03:54:31.120 --> 03:54:32.320
Okay, maybe I'm crazy then.

03:54:38.120 --> 03:54:42.520
I swear, I saw someone, I saw someone that I followed

03:54:42.520 --> 03:54:45.160
tweeted about it, like a month or two ago.

03:54:45.160 --> 03:54:49.120
Anyways, it's not really a good time.

03:54:49.120 --> 03:54:50.480
Appreciate it, thank you.

03:54:50.520 --> 03:54:56.700
All right, next I'm in this so okay. Sorry. I kind of like skipping over in this is

03:54:57.420 --> 03:54:59.420
Arguably one of the best supports right now

03:54:59.820 --> 03:55:05.580
The reason why I think in this is actually kind of crime back up a little bit is even though I think

03:55:06.300 --> 03:55:10.040
I'll get there in a minute. I think there's actually like other supports that are like at her level

03:55:10.040 --> 03:55:16.420
I think that people have played so much in this that they're actually better at in this on average in your games

03:55:16.420 --> 03:55:21.640
than playing something like Jeff which is still strong or something like White

03:55:21.640 --> 03:55:25.200
Fox which is still strong like you have to have people that actually been

03:55:25.200 --> 03:55:28.720
playing those characters recently and even though I think that for example

03:55:28.720 --> 03:55:34.240
White Fox I think is better than Invis on average if you load into a game

03:55:34.240 --> 03:55:40.960
unless you have an actual White Fox player I think that your like we need

03:55:40.960 --> 03:55:46.000
to support I'm much more comfortable seeing an Invis than I am seeing a White

03:55:46.000 --> 03:55:49.040
Fox, unless they've locked it right out of spawn. Does that make sense?

03:55:51.040 --> 03:55:56.600
Like she can still absolutely perform. And I think on average in ranked, I, I am seeing.

03:55:57.600 --> 03:56:00.040
I would rather see an Invis and actually knows how to play Invis

03:56:00.400 --> 03:56:03.200
than see someone who doesn't know how to play White Fox, play White Fox.

03:56:03.680 --> 03:56:06.680
Does that make sense?

03:56:06.680 --> 03:56:07.600
I don't know. That makes sense to you.

03:56:07.600 --> 03:56:09.760
But regardless, though, I think Invis works just fine.

03:56:10.360 --> 03:56:12.040
I think Invis works just fine for most games.

03:56:12.040 --> 03:56:20.280
Next up is Jeff. So Jeff is really strong, but I don't think he's like in ranked. I actually don't think he's that

03:56:20.800 --> 03:56:27.120
Like as insane. I think and I bet in like ignite or like pro play. I bet he's getting a lot of play but

03:56:27.760 --> 03:56:29.200
like I

03:56:29.200 --> 03:56:32.880
Don't know. I don't I think he's strong, but I don't think he's like

03:56:34.240 --> 03:56:37.800
In ranked here's the thing in ranked

03:56:37.800 --> 03:56:41.000
your support ults are extremely important.

03:56:41.000 --> 03:56:42.760
Yo, what's up, TCK?

03:56:42.760 --> 03:56:45.440
Your support ults are extremely important and ranked.

03:56:45.440 --> 03:56:46.920
And I feel like Jeff,

03:56:46.920 --> 03:56:48.600
what ends up happening with Jeff players,

03:56:48.600 --> 03:56:49.920
is if you're actually playing against people

03:56:49.920 --> 03:56:51.320
that are half competent,

03:56:51.320 --> 03:56:54.520
the EAT doesn't get anybody and he dies on it most of the time.

03:56:54.520 --> 03:56:58.640
And then he doesn't care about where he's placing the pool.

03:56:58.640 --> 03:57:01.640
And also like, it's not as much healing as say like Luna

03:57:01.640 --> 03:57:03.320
or Invis or anything like that.

03:57:04.440 --> 03:57:07.160
And so you don't end up getting as much value.

03:57:07.160 --> 03:57:10.840
And also, like, I think Dive is slightly worse, at least in ranked right now, this season.

03:57:13.240 --> 03:57:19.760
And so you don't need the survivability of Jeff quite as much, but he's still, he's still pretty decent, still pretty decent.

03:57:21.120 --> 03:57:21.800
Loki.

03:57:22.800 --> 03:57:26.160
So Loki's interesting, because I actually haven't seen much Loki at all.

03:57:26.320 --> 03:57:29.160
Like, Loki theoretically should be pretty good right now.

03:57:30.520 --> 03:57:33.600
But unless Gambit is in play, I actually don't see him that much.

03:57:33.600 --> 03:57:44.600
I think he's strong. I think he absolutely is strong, but just in ranked, in ranked, I haven't seen him.

03:57:44.600 --> 03:57:49.600
And so it's hard for me to say, oh, he's easily asked here, but like nobody's playing him.

03:57:49.600 --> 03:57:56.600
And Moon Knight being strong could be part of it, but Moon Knight I think has been strong for a little bit.

03:57:56.600 --> 03:58:04.480
But I think it's actually, Loki is better or worse depending on what your partner support

03:58:04.480 --> 03:58:05.480
is.

03:58:05.480 --> 03:58:09.640
Does that make sense?

03:58:09.640 --> 03:58:15.160
So like if your partner support picks Rocket, you don't really want to play Loki, you know,

03:58:15.160 --> 03:58:18.540
because like double Rocket all is like, okay, it's like not great.

03:58:18.540 --> 03:58:21.880
Now if you have like Luna, or sorry, Gambit is a better example.

03:58:21.880 --> 03:58:23.760
Now you're doing that every damn time.

03:58:23.760 --> 03:58:28.200
Luna, maybe not as much, because you could probably go White Fox, and then you go White Fox Luna, which I think is much better.

03:58:29.460 --> 03:58:36.600
Actually, that maybe that's it. Maybe like when you have Luna, you want White Fox and put them together, so you get the team up, and they work together pretty well.

03:58:38.960 --> 03:58:42.240
Yeah, that actually might be it. I might just, I might just talk myself into the answer.

03:58:43.680 --> 03:58:48.960
It might be that. It might be like in ranked, you a lot of times you're going to play like Loki, Luna or Gambit Luna, or sorry,

03:58:48.960 --> 03:58:59.960
Game Loki, but because if you have Luna, you're probably playing White Fox, so White Fox and Luna go together, so you're not going to play Loki, and the game is getting perm banned, so you're not going to play them. Yeah, I guess that makes sense.

03:58:59.960 --> 03:59:17.960
I don't know why I just took me a second, but I put it all together. Okay, cool. Alright, next up, Luna. So Luna's interesting, because I think depending on where you're at, I think Luna is arguably two or three best in the game.

03:59:17.960 --> 03:59:22.040
I might have to move these I don't think in I don't know if in this one around the same

03:59:23.000 --> 03:59:28.040
On the same level I might have to I'll get there as I get there because there's something else. Yeah, you know what?

03:59:29.680 --> 03:59:31.880
Okay, let's do this we need we need to make a small adjustment

03:59:31.880 --> 03:59:35.280
I think and this is better than Loki for sure, but like Loki's like further this way

03:59:35.920 --> 03:59:38.760
And this is further this way, but like there's there's something else

03:59:38.760 --> 03:59:40.920
I'm gonna put here and you guys you guys will see it in a second

03:59:43.120 --> 03:59:45.120
Luna is really good especially in ranked

03:59:45.120 --> 03:59:50.480
Not talking about DPS Lutus DPS Luna is also fucking terrifying

03:59:52.020 --> 03:59:56.380
But because gambit's permanent band Luna's actually played a lot and so because Luna is almost always there

03:59:58.660 --> 04:00:02.180
Especially with white fox she's really strong really really strong

04:00:04.260 --> 04:00:09.500
Not much else to say there rocket this is what I want. This is what I actually wanted to get to I don't think you guys are ready

04:00:09.500 --> 04:00:11.500
I think rocket is low-key

04:00:12.500 --> 04:00:14.500
One of the best supports in the game

04:00:14.500 --> 04:00:27.620
I think there's, I think there's an argument that Rocket is almost as valuable as White

04:00:27.620 --> 04:00:32.980
Fox without Luna, or just in general, just wanting him.

04:00:32.980 --> 04:00:35.740
You've fully lost it.

04:00:35.740 --> 04:00:37.300
You might think so.

04:00:37.300 --> 04:00:38.300
You might think so.

04:00:38.300 --> 04:00:43.700
But I'm telling you, I'm telling you.

04:00:43.700 --> 04:00:48.040
Every time someone's playing Rocket, he's getting old so fast now.

04:00:48.040 --> 04:00:49.880
He's one of the fastest ults.

04:00:49.880 --> 04:00:52.440
The BRB is still huge.

04:00:52.440 --> 04:00:56.600
And he fucking shreds the Dino especially.

04:00:56.600 --> 04:01:01.720
If the Dino is in play, Rocket actually fucking annihilates him.

04:01:01.720 --> 04:01:02.960
Unnihilates him.

04:01:02.960 --> 04:01:06.320
He literally explodes.

04:01:06.320 --> 04:01:10.360
Like the play is like two dinos going to each other, take a couple bites, one bites

04:01:10.360 --> 04:01:14.520
the other than the other dino but second bites pulls him into his team rocket walks up and fucking

04:01:15.240 --> 04:01:20.680
and just explodes he just falls over it sends his ass back to the stone age i cannot believe

04:01:20.680 --> 04:01:27.240
more people have not figured out how good rocket is like genuinely i have not i'm in awe and you

04:01:27.240 --> 04:01:32.520
know what kind of explains it i when i said that everyone said i was clip farming your clip farming

04:01:32.520 --> 04:01:37.800
chat chat streamer you're just clip farming he's not that good that's how now i know how no one

04:01:37.800 --> 04:01:44.040
knows because you guys weren't ready to hear it. You guys weren't ready to hear it.

04:01:45.560 --> 04:01:50.760
He's really fucking good. And if Tripple's in play, you have White Fox, Luna Rocket. Oh,

04:01:51.400 --> 04:01:57.880
have fun with that one. Have fun with that one. Good luck. Have a good time, buddy. Have fun. See

04:01:57.880 --> 04:02:04.360
you later. Next up is Gambit. Okay, I'm not going to pretend anything. I'm just going to put Gambit

04:02:04.360 --> 04:02:06.480
and that's the role because he's from a band every single game.

04:02:06.920 --> 04:02:09.120
Even though I think there's a good argument that

04:02:10.920 --> 04:02:15.600
White Fox is arguably is like getting up there as good as as as Gambit.

04:02:15.800 --> 04:02:17.200
There's no.

04:02:18.520 --> 04:02:21.320
There's no argument, I think, for who is the number one.

04:02:21.360 --> 04:02:23.560
He's from a band every single fucking game.

04:02:23.600 --> 04:02:26.360
And I think partly he's just the boogeyman now.

04:02:27.440 --> 04:02:32.480
I think I think Gambit is genuinely just the boogeyman where everyone believes

04:02:33.100 --> 04:02:38.380
He is so strong because he's been strong for so long and like people don't even remember why he's strong anymore

04:02:38.900 --> 04:02:44.380
Like if you ask somebody to name all the parts of his kit you like most players probably would

04:02:44.380 --> 04:02:49.640
I think I would miss something if I'm honest with you. I think I would miss something

04:02:49.640 --> 04:02:52.900
I think I would miss parts of its kit because he's been gone that long

04:02:54.140 --> 04:02:59.260
They have nerfed his ult actually they have nerfed his ult. He's just that guy

04:02:59.260 --> 04:03:05.300
He just has so much in his kid. It's so loaded

04:03:05.860 --> 04:03:13.620
He's literally John Wick. We just we just he's we know of him being strong by name. We can't we don't even we don't remember why we're scared of him

04:03:15.060 --> 04:03:17.060
Anyways regardless

04:03:17.920 --> 04:03:23.200
Mantis so again, this list is ranked don't forget. I think mantis and ranked a lot of times is kind of hit or miss

04:03:23.200 --> 04:03:25.280
I think it can absolutely work

04:03:25.280 --> 04:03:33.500
I think if you're running triple Mantis is almost a guarantee need. However, I think triple is a crutch comp a lot of times in ranked especially

04:03:34.680 --> 04:03:40.360
Where if they're forcing hard triple support from the gate out of the gate, you can typically beat them

04:03:41.600 --> 04:03:45.960
That said though, you do bump into someone who actually knows how to play Mantis. You're probably fucked. You're probably cooked

04:03:47.300 --> 04:03:53.520
But I think a lot of times people don't end up picking Mantis in the right ways and I think they try player and double support double support Mantis is really bad

04:03:53.520 --> 04:03:59.360
Triple support Mantis is good, but I also think that like people don't know how to play triple support that well other than just

04:03:59.360 --> 04:04:03.400
I'll stand there and hold hands. So like they won't play Mantis. They'll play like Rocket Luna

04:04:04.320 --> 04:04:07.600
White Fox or Rocket Luna in biz or cloak in biz

04:04:08.360 --> 04:04:11.480
Rocket or some shit, you know, I mean, they just they just don't have Mantis. So I

04:04:13.240 --> 04:04:18.800
Actually not that afraid of Mantis even though I know she's really strong just in ranks. I don't think people know how to do it

04:04:18.800 --> 04:04:19.960
well

04:04:19.960 --> 04:04:24.440
All right, white fox arguably number two best support in the entire game now

04:04:28.240 --> 04:04:30.820
You're arguably number two

04:04:31.560 --> 04:04:33.560
Because she has really good healing

04:04:34.280 --> 04:04:38.840
Not as good as say Luna or in this or or like cloak even

04:04:39.960 --> 04:04:43.640
But she's very survivable and she wins a lot of 1v1s

04:04:43.640 --> 04:04:51.500
The biggest problem with white fox players is they pop all in front of like fucking punisher

04:04:51.500 --> 04:04:53.860
And I'm like dude

04:04:55.020 --> 04:04:57.020
You're dead

04:04:57.540 --> 04:05:01.900
They just fucking explode they just go boom

04:05:05.540 --> 04:05:12.220
I can't explain that one to you, but she's very good into dive very good against dive and with dive

04:05:12.220 --> 04:05:16.220
Her team up with Luna is very good. It's exceptional.

04:05:16.220 --> 04:05:22.220
Gives her a good escape slash cooldown slash like another resource tool.

04:05:22.220 --> 04:05:26.220
She fits with almost any other support. She fits with Invis. She fits with Rocket.

04:05:26.220 --> 04:05:28.220
She fits with Luna. She fits with Gambit.

04:05:28.220 --> 04:05:34.220
She fits with, I don't know if she fits with Loki. I don't know if she would fit with Loki.

04:05:34.220 --> 04:05:38.220
Maybe. I don't know if I'd recommend that one, but she fits with almost every comp.

04:05:38.220 --> 04:05:42.700
I think she could fit with Jeff. I think she could fit with support pool. She probably could fit with all of them

04:05:44.220 --> 04:05:46.220
So exceptionally good

04:05:46.560 --> 04:05:48.740
People have learned how to play her now. So she's even better

04:05:49.260 --> 04:05:53.500
Last of Nali's Ultron. I think Ultron's the that guy for triple support

04:05:53.500 --> 04:05:56.560
I think honestly, I've even seen a couple double support Ultron's kind of work

04:05:57.340 --> 04:06:00.200
the double drone has been nice and also just like

04:06:01.500 --> 04:06:06.740
His ult change as well has been nice because you can use a little more defensively or offensively to get really close

04:06:06.740 --> 04:06:12.400
You can kind of make people explode, but he's obviously against a triple support merchant a lot of times

04:06:12.400 --> 04:06:15.840
And if your team isn't doing too hot, we're like hey, we need a DPS to go

04:06:17.900 --> 04:06:22.100
To go to go triple support, they just go ultron they just fly around the sky and they play flying

04:06:22.740 --> 04:06:25.140
fake cosplay DPS support, but

04:06:25.640 --> 04:06:26.840
There you go

04:06:26.840 --> 04:06:34.520
That's your list as always don't forget these are my opinions. They should not be taken as the law

04:06:34.520 --> 04:06:38.140
although a lot of times they do end up being true.

04:06:38.140 --> 04:06:40.140
And Alison, I can't help that part.

04:06:40.140 --> 04:06:42.820
That's just, it is what it is.

04:06:42.820 --> 04:06:45.500
Sometimes, you know, sometimes we hit, sometimes we don't.

04:06:45.500 --> 04:06:48.260
That's why you shouldn't take them all as like,

04:06:48.260 --> 04:06:50.420
every single one is gonna be on the money.

04:06:50.420 --> 04:06:52.380
Cause like sometimes depending on the meta changes

04:06:52.380 --> 04:06:55.060
or depending on things that get discovered

04:06:55.060 --> 04:06:56.600
and then being outdated really quickly,

04:06:56.600 --> 04:06:59.460
which is why I always try to wait at least a week or so

04:06:59.460 --> 04:07:00.300
before putting them out.

04:07:00.300 --> 04:07:01.500
Even though I know most people put theirs out

04:07:01.500 --> 04:07:02.660
like within a day or two

04:07:02.660 --> 04:07:04.060
because everyone wants to be the first one

04:07:04.060 --> 04:07:06.100
because like it's how you get the most amount of views.

04:07:06.100 --> 04:07:11.100
But I try to have a little bit more of a thoughtful take

04:07:13.740 --> 04:07:16.700
when I make these because it's not just about the rankings,

04:07:16.700 --> 04:07:19.820
it's more about the thought process behind all the rankings.

04:07:19.820 --> 04:07:22.340
Because if you just look at the list at the end

04:07:22.340 --> 04:07:24.900
and then you go, oh, Streamer, I can understand them.

04:07:24.900 --> 04:07:27.300
First of all, get your bitch ass back there.

04:07:27.300 --> 04:07:29.420
Now, start at the beginning again.

04:07:29.420 --> 04:07:30.980
And it's like, if you just skip right to the end,

04:07:30.980 --> 04:07:32.500
then it's like, well, you're not gonna actually know

04:07:32.500 --> 04:07:35.060
because like some of these characters got moved around over time.

04:07:35.060 --> 04:07:37.400
Alright, and like for example, Enviz was up one,

04:07:37.400 --> 04:07:39.740
and I have a good reason for why I think Enviz is up one,

04:07:39.740 --> 04:07:42.440
but like I couldn't put White Fox and Enviz next to each other

04:07:42.440 --> 04:07:45.140
because I don't think they're at the same level.

04:07:45.140 --> 04:07:47.940
But like you wouldn't know that because you didn't watch it.

04:07:47.940 --> 04:07:50.300
So you should watch it or at least go to your hero

04:07:50.300 --> 04:07:52.500
or whatever you're looking for.

04:07:52.500 --> 04:07:55.340
That way you have a better idea

04:07:55.340 --> 04:07:56.780
because it's not about the ranking.

04:07:56.780 --> 04:07:58.380
The ranking over here isn't anything.

04:07:58.380 --> 04:08:01.660
This is, this over here just makes it digestible.

04:08:01.660 --> 04:08:02.500
That's it.

04:08:02.500 --> 04:08:04.900
The whole point of this is to make it digestible

04:08:04.900 --> 04:08:07.700
and make it easy for you to be able to follow along.

04:08:08.700 --> 04:08:09.940
That's what the point of it is.

04:08:09.940 --> 04:08:12.100
Because if I just sat here and yapped on full cam,

04:08:12.100 --> 04:08:13.060
you'd fall asleep.

04:08:13.980 --> 04:08:15.540
Visuals help.

04:08:15.540 --> 04:08:17.740
I'm personally a visual learner.

04:08:17.740 --> 04:08:19.620
And so hopefully it helps you.

04:08:19.620 --> 04:08:20.460
All right.

04:08:21.580 --> 04:08:22.660
There you go.

04:08:22.660 --> 04:08:24.360
Also follow the stream, follow the YouTube or,

04:08:24.360 --> 04:08:25.620
or hit the subscribe button if you haven't.

04:08:25.620 --> 04:08:26.580
It helps you out a ton.

04:08:26.580 --> 04:08:27.420
Appreciate you.

04:08:29.300 --> 04:08:30.140
And I got a P.

04:08:30.140 --> 04:08:32.720
All right, I'll be back in two minutes.

04:08:32.720 --> 04:08:34.220
Be right back.

04:09:00.140 --> 04:09:02.200
you

04:09:30.140 --> 04:09:32.200
you

04:10:00.140 --> 04:10:02.200
you

04:10:30.140 --> 04:10:57.500
Okay.

04:10:57.500 --> 04:11:04.500
Okay, cool, cool, cool, all right, what do we got now?

04:11:04.500 --> 04:11:12.740
I guess I'll load back into Ravel's first hack just to have something up.

04:11:12.740 --> 04:11:25.780
But I don't know if I want to see it anymore, let me see.

04:11:25.780 --> 04:11:35.780
It says my game is running but it's not running, oh, Jk, I guess it is.

04:11:35.780 --> 04:11:38.780
GTA 6 drops tomorrow, are you ready?

04:11:38.780 --> 04:11:42.780
Um, someone, I don't know why Ashley, what's that guy?

04:11:42.780 --> 04:11:43.780
What's that guy?

04:11:43.780 --> 04:11:45.780
He'll be fine.

04:11:45.780 --> 04:11:46.780
Doom Raider!

04:11:46.780 --> 04:11:47.780
With the five gifts.

04:11:47.780 --> 04:11:50.780

Do you use OBS for streaming?

04:12:32.500 --> 04:12:33.500
Almost everyone does, yeah.

04:12:33.500 --> 04:12:37.140
Oh, then they talk to you, but it's because they won't let me, and that's why it's a

04:12:37.140 --> 04:12:38.140
shit service.

04:12:38.140 --> 04:12:39.140
The low ping?

04:12:39.140 --> 04:12:40.140
The soccer thing is seven months?

04:12:40.140 --> 04:12:41.140
I think he's already been out of the shadows.

04:12:41.140 --> 04:12:42.140
I think he's already been out of the shadows.

04:12:42.140 --> 04:12:44.140
Soccer I think the seven months

04:12:49.500 --> 04:12:51.500
Hey, you already been out of shadows person

04:12:53.980 --> 04:12:58.700
Do ways oh there it did pop back shit yo swish big one big it's super challenge is that the

04:12:59.340 --> 04:13:03.100
Shots weren't popping up from it. Anybody appreciate you. No message though

04:13:06.380 --> 04:13:08.380
Hmm

04:13:09.660 --> 04:13:11.660
It's easy to be home as well

04:13:12.140 --> 04:13:13.140
Appreciate you.

04:13:13.980 --> 04:13:16.980
OK, I got to figure out what we're going to do for the rest of the day.

04:13:18.860 --> 04:13:21.820
Early thoughts and ideas were

04:13:22.820 --> 04:13:25.060
as busy as we could watch, maybe, potentially.

04:13:28.700 --> 04:13:30.700
That could be fun.

04:13:30.780 --> 04:13:32.140
Yeah, formally hot topics.

04:13:32.140 --> 04:13:35.500
I just renamed the plus reacts because nobody fucking ends up using that name.

04:13:35.500 --> 04:13:37.500
Anyways, it really gets confused.

04:13:38.300 --> 04:13:40.220
Yo, see what the fuck is on the other side?

04:13:40.220 --> 04:13:42.220
Nope. W-5, yes, appreciate it, dude.

04:13:42.220 --> 04:13:44.220
Dang dang dang, you're not sure what I'm doing.

04:13:49.020 --> 04:13:50.020
Roll for Sandwich?

04:13:51.420 --> 04:13:54.420
I think Roll for Sandwich is going to be something I catch up on when I'm driving.

04:13:54.420 --> 04:13:58.920
Because I got to deal with so many of them, I think I have to set multiple days aside.

04:13:58.920 --> 04:14:00.920
And I forgot something I want to do right now.

04:14:05.620 --> 04:14:07.620
Subnautica, I actually finished Subnautica.

04:14:07.620 --> 04:14:09.620
Or at least up to the point of what we're allowed to play.

04:14:10.220 --> 04:14:13.220
So, I think our video is getting worked on right now.

04:14:15.220 --> 04:14:19.220
What do you think about the rival's info tweet about the shooting situation?

04:14:19.220 --> 04:14:22.220
You mean the one rival tweeted out this morning or is that different?

04:14:22.220 --> 04:14:25.220
There's a more or less thing about converting from Prime to 2-1, for sure.

04:14:28.220 --> 04:14:29.220
Oh, it's different.

04:14:40.220 --> 04:14:47.220
Holy shit that's long.

04:14:47.220 --> 04:14:55.220
What is this?

04:14:55.220 --> 04:15:03.220
Can you do an out-deer abyss you got me back into after several years of not touching it?

04:15:03.220 --> 04:15:05.220
Um, maybe at some point.

04:15:05.220 --> 04:15:06.220
Maybe at some point, but not today.

04:15:06.220 --> 04:15:08.220
I think I'm supposed to appreciate it.

04:15:08.220 --> 04:15:22.900
Okay. Okay. Hello, everyone. In a previous life, I used to do offensive and defensive

04:15:22.900 --> 04:15:29.900
anti-cheat research professionally.

04:15:33.180 --> 04:15:37.820
Is this the guy that used to be an overwatch?

04:15:37.820 --> 04:15:43.020
Any old overwatch knowers, remember? Wasn't there some guy on Twitter?

04:15:43.020 --> 04:15:46.900
That was a big anti-cheat guy back in the day.

04:15:46.900 --> 04:15:50.120
This is the same guy.

04:15:50.120 --> 04:15:53.320
because I thought some of that stuff ended up not being true.

04:15:54.400 --> 04:15:56.600
So I want to take it with a bit of a grain of salt.

04:15:58.680 --> 04:15:59.840
One thing I'd like to say that the game

04:15:59.840 --> 04:16:01.300
is doing absolute bare minimum

04:16:01.300 --> 04:16:04.080
to secure and protect itself against cheaters.

04:16:04.080 --> 04:16:05.280
To give the team some credit,

04:16:05.280 --> 04:16:07.400
conveying cheating is extremely difficult.

04:16:07.400 --> 04:16:11.640
I would be interested, but probably not today,

04:16:11.640 --> 04:16:13.160
but I would be interested in 13 months.

04:16:13.160 --> 04:16:14.000
I have not played it.

04:16:14.000 --> 04:16:16.000
I am interested, though,

04:16:16.000 --> 04:16:17.800
because chief developers are constantly adapting,

04:16:17.800 --> 04:16:22.360
especially with AI, and testing new methods faster than most of these developers can realistically

04:16:22.360 --> 04:16:28.840
respond to. I'm going to outline what the anti-cheat team does right and what they do wrong,

04:16:28.840 --> 04:16:32.560
and then you can come to your own conclusions about the overall state of the game's anti-cheat

04:16:32.560 --> 04:16:38.800
efforts. Vocabulary. DLL, this term will be used heavily when it refers to a piece of

04:16:38.800 --> 04:16:44.600
software that is injected into a process for arrivals, is capable of executing arbitrary

04:16:44.600 --> 04:16:48.600
code within the game's process. This allows cheaters to modify or manipulate different

04:16:48.600 --> 04:16:55.160
parts of the game in order to gain an unfair advantage reading from or writing to the game's

04:16:55.160 --> 04:17:00.960
state. DLL's side log or hijacking or placing a legitimate DLL that the game uses with a

04:17:00.960 --> 04:17:06.320
malicious DLL. This allows an actor to execute arbitrary code within the game process while

04:17:06.320 --> 04:17:13.280
masquerading as a legitimate DLL. Zim, a cheating device primarily used in console for the

04:17:13.280 --> 04:17:18.100
example, mask a keyboard and a mouse as a controller, allowing malicious actors to essentially

04:17:18.100 --> 04:17:23.240
have aim assist and run a ton of other scripts that give malicious actors to gain a competitive

04:17:23.240 --> 04:17:29.440
edge over players. Function hooking has allowed malicious users to redirect how the code normally

04:17:29.440 --> 04:17:33.860
works while giving them control over the program behaves and letting them change the results

04:17:33.860 --> 04:17:44.380
of certain functions. Okay. Yeah, I'm just gonna, I don't think he meant to do that,

04:17:44.380 --> 04:17:49.700
but. What they do right, sending telemetry or telemetry from the games process to the

04:17:49.700 --> 04:17:54.700
anti-cheat backend server, even without the kernel level anti-cheat running to determine

04:17:54.700 --> 04:17:59.740
whether a game session appears legitimate or illegitimate cheating. That's it. That's

04:17:59.740 --> 04:18:09.100
That's the only thing they do right.

04:18:09.100 --> 04:18:10.940
Now I think you could take all of this with a grain of salt though.

04:18:10.940 --> 04:18:14.380
I'm going to be honest with you, I always take anything like this with a grain of salt.

04:18:14.380 --> 04:18:19.580
So that's just something to start with, but interesting, okay.

04:18:19.580 --> 04:18:22.660
The kernel level anti-sheet component is pretty useless.

04:18:22.660 --> 04:18:25.100
It really only meant to serve a few purposes.

04:18:25.100 --> 04:18:29.100
It does a bit more, but there are main, these are the main components you should actually

04:18:29.100 --> 04:18:33.820
care about, and the entire system becomes redundant when you can simply disable the

04:18:33.820 --> 04:18:39.100
kernel components. The first purpose is acting as a preventive measure against DLL injection,

04:18:39.740 --> 04:18:45.260
which it does a poor job at because you can use DLL side loading and the game will blindly accept

04:18:45.260 --> 04:18:51.260
illegitimate DLLs and inject them into the game's process or game's process. Another purpose is

04:18:51.260 --> 04:18:56.780
sending telemetry to the anti-cheat backend, which collects data about the process and scans for

04:18:56.780 --> 04:19:03.100
cheat signatures, abnormal process conditions, and unauthorized modifications. The kernel

04:19:03.100 --> 04:19:08.380
level anti-cheat probably does more than that, but it becomes pretty useless when you can

04:19:08.380 --> 04:19:15.340
just disable the kernel anti-cheat component entirely. So Valorant has this, right? Valorant

04:19:15.340 --> 04:19:21.180
very famously has kernel level anti-cheat. Does it actually help? I think there's still

04:19:21.180 --> 04:19:24.420
a lot of cheating in Valorant. At least there used to be. God, I look at TikTok and there's

04:19:24.420 --> 04:19:29.620
It's just porn box everywhere that makes me, you know, I was going to say something about

04:19:29.620 --> 04:19:30.620
it.

04:19:30.620 --> 04:19:36.660
It's like, dude, realistically, like, does gaming only have like a few years left in

04:19:36.660 --> 04:19:37.660
it?

04:19:37.660 --> 04:19:41.700
Like competitive, like online gaming only has like a few years left in it until like

04:19:41.700 --> 04:19:49.100
shooting gets so rampant and so bad that like they can't even fight it off anymore.

04:19:49.100 --> 04:19:54.860
You know, Valorant is actually pretty good with cheaters.

04:19:54.860 --> 04:19:58.100
The game shuts down on the spot, and you get the famous red screen.

04:19:58.100 --> 04:20:02.420
I know what the famous red screen, but Valorant Anti-Cheat is actually pretty good.

04:20:03.740 --> 04:20:07.540
Is it because of the kernel, or just because they're just like really good about it in general?

04:20:08.700 --> 04:20:09.860
Interesting, good to know.

04:20:11.460 --> 04:20:18.780
There have been claims that if you run a certain command line argument, or sorry, command line argument,

04:20:18.780 --> 04:20:24.420
It completely disables the anti-cheat, but this is only partially false.

04:20:24.420 --> 04:20:30.580
It disables the kernel anti-cheat component, but it does not disable the anti-cheat that

04:20:30.580 --> 04:20:33.060
lives inside the game's process.

04:20:33.060 --> 04:20:38.460
QSEC is another anti-cheat component inside the game's process, and it does a bit of

04:20:38.460 --> 04:20:43.300
the heavy lifting by sending increased telemetry about your aim score, ZIM score, and other

04:20:43.300 --> 04:20:45.380
unusual process events.

04:20:45.380 --> 04:20:52.460
This can also be disabled by patching the games executable on disk, preventing the system

04:20:52.460 --> 04:20:54.780
from even being initialized.

04:20:54.780 --> 04:20:59.240
I sent this directly to the developers a while ago and they've done nothing with it.

04:20:59.240 --> 04:21:03.820
One thing I will give them credit for, so by the way, something on this really quickly,

04:21:03.820 --> 04:21:08.860
this like, oh I sent them things, like they're never going to use that ever.

04:21:08.860 --> 04:21:14.380
Like ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, like any game like never wants to work with outside

04:21:14.380 --> 04:21:17.100
people that like they don't really know unless they like contracted them and

04:21:17.100 --> 04:21:20.440
bring them in, even if you're right, like they genuinely will never.

04:21:20.500 --> 04:21:24.660
And I know people want to be helpful with that, but like, it doesn't even matter

04:21:24.660 --> 04:21:26.500
if you're right, like people will just never end up doing it.

04:21:27.420 --> 04:21:29.460
You just want the game to have the anti cheat disabled.

04:21:29.660 --> 04:21:31.420
Didn't they say that's not what it is?

04:21:31.500 --> 04:21:32.540
Or like they can't do that.

04:21:32.580 --> 04:21:33.060
Interesting.

04:21:34.140 --> 04:21:37.420
One thing I will give them credit for is that they're at least attempting

04:21:37.420 --> 04:21:40.740
to protect this code, but they've done a terrible job executing you.

04:21:40.740 --> 04:21:46.780
There's also another component they use called AC, Anti-Cheat SDK.

04:21:46.780 --> 04:21:52.100
This component exists in an extremely niche location within the game's process, but I

04:21:52.100 --> 04:21:55.620
won't explain it further because it could lead to an additional attack or additional

04:21:55.620 --> 04:21:59.960
attack vectors, although the team already knows where it lives.

04:21:59.960 --> 04:22:04.180
From what I understand, this component also sends additional telemetry and periodically

04:22:04.180 --> 04:22:09.900
sends screenshots of your game to the Anti-Cheat backend, at least for high-risk players, in

04:22:09.900 --> 04:22:15.580
In an attempt to detect cheats like ESP, which gives exact player location through walls,

04:22:15.580 --> 04:22:19.220
this component can also be disabled.

04:22:19.220 --> 04:22:25.100
The Anti-Cheat Team also has an additional QSEC Anti-Cheat component that is completely

04:22:25.100 --> 04:22:26.260
server-side.

04:22:26.260 --> 04:22:30.180
This Anti-Cheat automatically scans replay files and match data to determine whether

04:22:30.180 --> 04:22:33.140
a player is cheating based on heuristics.

04:22:33.140 --> 04:22:37.780
This approach is extremely flawed because a cheater can disable the components I explained

04:22:37.780 --> 04:22:43.940
above and humanize their cheats to avoid detection. It can also lead to false bands if the system

04:22:43.940 --> 04:22:48.140
assumptions are incorrect, which appears to happen periodically.

04:22:48.140 --> 04:22:51.740
The anti-cheat team actually does nothing to validate whether the decolonial component

04:22:51.740 --> 04:22:57.720
is running or not. This is one thing some anti-cheats like Easy Anti-Cheat does right.

04:22:57.720 --> 04:23:01.980
The game server will kick you out if it doesn't receive a valid token from the client generated

04:23:01.980 --> 04:23:08.940
by the anti-cheat. Sure, some telemetry may give the team some insight saying, hey, so

04:23:08.940 --> 04:23:13.180
this user isn't running our anti-cheat, they're probably suss as fuck. But when those telemetry

04:23:13.180 --> 04:23:17.420
components are disabled and your only component is the server-sided anti-cheat, it makes the

04:23:17.420 --> 04:23:21.420
system super redundant. I was actually about to, like, my question reading all this beforehand

04:23:21.420 --> 04:23:25.100
was like, we shouldn't the system know, like, if they're communicating, right? Like, they're

04:23:25.100 --> 04:23:29.100
communicating back and forth. And it's like, well, if one of them goes quiet, right? And

04:23:29.100 --> 04:23:30.500
It's like it's not talking to you anymore.

04:23:30.500 --> 04:23:32.300
It's like, well, then something's wrong,

04:23:32.300 --> 04:23:33.900
but it doesn't sound like that.

04:23:33.900 --> 04:23:34.740
It won't check.

04:23:34.740 --> 04:23:36.740
It won't check like, hey, why is this not responding

04:23:36.740 --> 04:23:37.500
to me anymore?

04:23:40.140 --> 04:23:41.980
That's not great.

04:23:41.980 --> 04:23:45.020
Mar-Riles team claims that a user who gets banned

04:23:45.020 --> 04:23:47.100
will get device bans and IP bans.

04:23:47.100 --> 04:23:49.900
From my understanding, they don't use, they don't IP ban,

04:23:49.900 --> 04:23:53.460
but they do attempt to device ban, which is a hardware ban.

04:23:53.460 --> 04:23:55.220
And they do a terrible job at it.

04:23:55.220 --> 04:23:58.780
Since you can disable the kernel component of Anti-Cheat,

04:23:58.780 --> 04:24:01.200
the game process only left one way.

04:24:01.200 --> 04:24:04.040
Do call Windows functionality to generate a hardware

04:24:04.040 --> 04:24:06.800
identifier based on the limited functionality

04:24:06.800 --> 04:24:08.400
that Microsoft gives them.

04:24:08.400 --> 04:24:10.600
This is completely redundant when you can disable

04:24:10.600 --> 04:24:12.720
all the components I had mentioned earlier

04:24:12.720 --> 04:24:15.920
and the use function hooking to essentially spoof

04:24:15.920 --> 04:24:17.480
your hardware identifier.

04:24:17.480 --> 04:24:20.000
And once you get banned, you can clean up all the traces

04:24:20.000 --> 04:24:22.880
the game's process leaves and create a brand new account

04:24:22.880 --> 04:24:26.480
if nothing happened, like as if nothing has happened.

04:24:26.480 --> 04:24:27.960
There's a few more components

04:24:27.960 --> 04:24:31.560
that I haven't talked about or may not completely know about,

04:24:31.560 --> 04:24:33.360
but I hope this gives you some slight idea

04:24:33.360 --> 04:24:35.520
on how the team is actually handling cheating.

04:24:35.520 --> 04:24:38.160
I actually said most of what's currently being done,

04:24:38.160 --> 04:24:39.960
currently in this post directly to them 10,

04:24:39.960 --> 04:24:42.480
or the team months ago, and haven't done anything with it.

04:24:42.480 --> 04:24:44.800
You know where to contact me, NetEase, chow.

04:24:44.800 --> 04:24:46.600
Yeah, they will never do that, by the way.

04:24:46.600 --> 04:24:47.440
I'm just putting this out there.

04:24:47.440 --> 04:24:49.880
They will legitimately never respond to you ever.

04:24:49.880 --> 04:24:51.200
No company, I don't think ever will,

04:24:51.200 --> 04:24:52.800
unless it's like a very small indie company.

04:24:52.800 --> 04:24:54.780
They genuinely will not.

04:24:55.840 --> 04:24:56.800
That said, though, obviously,

04:24:56.800 --> 04:24:58.720
This is a little bit above my pay grade.

04:25:00.360 --> 04:25:03.400
But like as you know earlier today,

04:25:03.400 --> 04:25:06.320
we were talking about the,

04:25:06.320 --> 04:25:08.320
what did, Riggsy, what are you sending me right now?

04:25:08.320 --> 04:25:10.080
I feel like I shouldn't open these.

04:25:12.000 --> 04:25:13.600
Yeah, I'm not gonna open these.

04:25:15.200 --> 04:25:16.600
Don't show on stream, yeah.

04:25:20.800 --> 04:25:22.240
What the fuck?

04:25:23.880 --> 04:25:25.160
It's all very real.

04:25:25.160 --> 04:25:29.440
Yeah, this is obviously a little bit above my pay grade, I'm gonna be real with you,

04:25:29.440 --> 04:25:32.880
this is above my pay grade.

04:25:32.880 --> 04:25:37.600
But this is why this morning when I was talking about the cheating problem, I was a little

04:25:37.600 --> 04:25:43.160
bit pessimistic and saying that like, I'm not sure if I like fully believe it, because

04:25:43.160 --> 04:25:45.720
cheating is a very hard thing to deal with.

04:25:45.720 --> 04:25:50.840
And especially rivals who was previously already stated that they were gonna like go hard on

04:25:50.840 --> 04:25:59.200
it and then looking at the list seeing three hardware bands and it's like well I I'm a

04:25:59.200 --> 04:26:08.280
little bit suspicious because I am like I want to see action and even though right now

04:26:08.280 --> 04:26:12.380
it's looking like they're taking action let's see if it actually holds up because we've

04:26:12.380 --> 04:26:17.000
already heard this once before you know we heard it once before and I know that shooting

04:26:17.000 --> 04:26:20.560
is always an uphill battle like it's never gonna be perfect you're always gonna be fighting

04:26:20.560 --> 04:26:31.480
like against the waves like against like against the current but yeah this is

04:26:31.480 --> 04:26:34.640
coming to the time where I think a lot of people are kind of frustrated with

04:26:34.640 --> 04:26:43.600
rivals both rightfully and unrightfully sell and for a lot of reasons but yeah

04:26:43.600 --> 04:26:46.880
I honestly I don't even it's I don't think it's just a rivals problem that's

04:26:46.880 --> 04:26:51.080
That's just like a gaming problem in general right now, you know?

04:26:51.080 --> 04:26:56.180
Gaming in general right now has a really big problem with especially the rise of AI and

04:26:56.180 --> 04:26:58.320
cheating and stuff like that.

04:26:58.320 --> 04:27:00.920
It does genuinely make me a little nervous long term.

04:27:00.920 --> 04:27:04.400
Are we like 10 years away from no longer having competitive online gaming?

04:27:04.400 --> 04:27:09.360
Because you can just program an AI to play for you and just run lobbies and become the

04:27:09.360 --> 04:27:10.360
best player.

04:27:10.360 --> 04:27:13.360
There's a lot to that, you know.

04:27:25.360 --> 04:27:30.360
Wasn't there some game though that worked with cheaters, or with cheaters to reduce the amount of cheats? I have no idea.

04:27:31.360 --> 04:27:33.360
I have no idea.

04:27:33.360 --> 04:27:39.840
Um, yeah, the console giving is safe at least for now.

04:27:39.840 --> 04:27:44.200
I mean console giving will still have Ziming, so it's like not really that safe.

04:27:44.200 --> 04:27:49.640
But I guess it's kind of why GTA 6 is going to be on console only at first, right, because

04:27:49.640 --> 04:27:53.440
they're probably going to be trying to like limit how many of those lobbies that you spawn

04:27:53.440 --> 04:27:59.920
in and just get immediately nuked over and over and over, you know?

04:27:59.920 --> 04:28:08.320
We're getting the devs can also use AI?

04:28:08.320 --> 04:28:13.800
Well, that's not...

04:28:13.800 --> 04:28:18.560
I'm not worried about the devs using AI with the rise of competitive PvP games.

04:28:18.560 --> 04:28:19.560
Like it's...

04:28:19.560 --> 04:28:26.520
Like, I think it'd be, like, yes they can use AI too, but it's just gonna be a constant

04:28:26.520 --> 04:28:27.520
war back and forth.

04:28:27.520 --> 04:28:31.520
And it's like, are they gonna have the resources and the time to keep up with like, ever, like...

04:28:34.520 --> 04:28:38.020
Yes, they have more tools, but they can also have as many tools against them, you know?

04:28:48.320 --> 04:28:50.320
I don't know, there's a lot to think about.

04:28:50.320 --> 04:28:53.820
There's a lot of stuff going on there, unfortunately, but it is what it is.

04:28:53.820 --> 04:28:58.820
There's not much we can do it, or do about it, you know what I mean?

04:28:58.820 --> 04:28:59.820
Not much we can do about it.

04:28:59.820 --> 04:29:02.700
We can only just do what we can.

04:29:02.700 --> 04:29:12.300
Which is the sad truth, you know?

04:29:12.300 --> 04:29:24.500
You guys just want to do some bids for the rest of the stream?

04:29:24.500 --> 04:29:27.620
It's already like four and a half hours.

04:29:27.620 --> 04:29:32.500
Do you guys want to?

04:29:32.500 --> 04:29:40.860
You drew a little dust dance?

04:29:40.860 --> 04:29:48.260
Where is it?

04:29:48.260 --> 04:29:57.780
Wait, that's kind of cute.

04:29:57.780 --> 04:30:05.020
Oh, he's shaking it.

04:30:05.020 --> 04:30:08.020
That's really cute.

04:30:08.020 --> 04:30:15.140
He's like, something we talk about all the time is when he gets excited, he shakes his

04:30:15.140 --> 04:30:16.140
bun.

04:30:16.140 --> 04:30:17.140
He's like tailed bun.

04:30:17.140 --> 04:30:19.540
That's why he's shaking his bun.

04:30:19.540 --> 04:30:22.900
I have to show Shae later.

04:30:22.900 --> 04:30:24.900
Hang on

04:30:29.060 --> 04:30:31.060
No, it's actually so don't forget

04:30:34.140 --> 04:30:36.140
Okay

04:30:38.020 --> 04:30:40.020
Yeah, okay, so if you have to throw it in um

04:30:41.220 --> 04:30:45.020
Throw it in fast fast reacts is a channel in my my discord called fast reacts

04:30:45.020 --> 04:30:49.980
We just renamed it from fast TV or not fast TV. Sorry. We renamed it from hot topics because nobody was fucking ever

04:30:50.700 --> 04:30:52.700
Nobody understood it

04:30:53.860 --> 04:31:00.020
What the hell what is this I took my I took my fat frog to the vet that looks gas I'm in

04:31:03.660 --> 04:31:10.320
All right, uh, take stock I'm not gonna stream this like the react section because unfortunately

04:31:12.980 --> 04:31:17.820
Take stock does not like react content, I think you're like steep leak

04:31:17.820 --> 04:31:22.820
Like you will like not think it's me and I'm not trying to catch any shadow bands and bullshit

04:31:22.820 --> 04:31:29.620
So I'll catch you later. I couldn't switch it if you want to watch some vids with us. If not, whatever. I'll see you later. Goodbye

04:31:38.980 --> 04:31:40.980
Okay

04:31:44.580 --> 04:31:46.580
I got one video as well

04:31:47.820 --> 04:31:52.820
Which one do you want to watch first? There's two videos.

04:31:52.820 --> 04:31:57.820
Seven levels of competitive FPS games, or I took my fat frog to the vet.

04:31:57.820 --> 04:32:00.820
Type one for the FPS games, type two for the fat frog.

04:32:12.820 --> 04:32:16.820
Alright, fat frog's winning. Let me go pee really quick, and then we're going to watch about fat frog.

04:32:16.820 --> 04:32:17.660
Well, that's wrong.

04:32:17.660 --> 04:32:18.500
Well, then.

04:32:46.820 --> 04:32:48.880
you

04:33:16.820 --> 04:33:37.180
All right, you guys voted.

04:33:37.180 --> 04:33:38.180
You guys voted.

04:33:38.180 --> 04:33:40.740
I took my fat frog to the bed, and here's what happened.

04:33:40.740 --> 04:33:44.180
If you're wondering where I got this, it's a channel I just heard called Fluts Reacts.

04:33:44.180 --> 04:33:48.180
Uh, it used to be called Hot Tile X, but everyone always got confused about it, so I renamed it. Lock it!

04:33:48.180 --> 04:33:52.180
Okay, I'm gonna show you what it's really like to take your dog to the vet.

04:33:52.180 --> 04:33:54.180
Are you excited, dumpling?

04:33:56.180 --> 04:33:57.180
Oh yeah!

04:33:58.180 --> 04:34:01.180
And dumpling isn't traveling alone.

04:34:03.180 --> 04:34:05.180
Six of my favorite animals have appointments to that.

04:34:05.180 --> 04:34:06.180
Oh, she's in!

04:34:06.180 --> 04:34:08.180
Oh, wow!

04:34:08.180 --> 04:34:09.180
Ooh!

04:34:09.180 --> 04:34:10.180
There we go!

04:34:10.180 --> 04:34:17.260
Listen, nothing against you if you like reptiles all power to you. I would never have as a messel into the Styrofoam box

04:34:18.420 --> 04:34:20.420
Well, they don't tell you about this process

04:34:20.620 --> 04:34:25.380
That every single person you pass also has a snake on them. It's just hidden a little bit better

04:34:25.500 --> 04:34:30.380
One of them are fixed in what try snake stuck in that because they have the heat blasting

04:34:30.620 --> 04:34:33.420
Penelope gets to see the train for the first time

04:34:33.420 --> 04:34:44.100
Okay, I don't know why it's a little diabolical taking it taking it's your snake out on the train like people are gonna be fucking terrified

04:34:48.580 --> 04:34:50.880
Some of the animals should be fine

04:34:51.140 --> 04:34:54.340
But others have ailments that could be deadly

04:34:54.900 --> 04:34:59.360
Luckily, we've come to the right place. That's frogs are not reptiles. Let's get one big butt through here

04:34:59.360 --> 04:35:01.360
He showed a bunch of other pets

04:35:01.560 --> 04:35:06.880
Wasn't all just the frog home to the only specialized reptile and exotic step in New York City

04:35:06.960 --> 04:35:08.960
Let me give you a quick tour

04:35:09.600 --> 04:35:11.600
Beautiful mountains

04:35:12.960 --> 04:35:15.820
Black mountains. All right warrior. Let's go

04:35:18.600 --> 04:35:22.840
I've only been in New York once the crap crap was there with me. I didn't like it

04:35:22.840 --> 04:35:27.320
I didn't like New York. Honestly, I think Boston's way fucking cooler and nicer than New York is

04:35:27.320 --> 04:35:32.720
I try to do these big checkups once a year, but this one is seven months because I brought it

04:35:32.720 --> 04:35:37.400
Brings me again while I thought that has never seen. There's only one way to find out

04:35:39.080 --> 04:35:41.080
What's going on?

04:35:41.080 --> 04:35:43.080
How you doing?

04:35:43.080 --> 04:35:45.080
Good to see you.

04:35:45.080 --> 04:35:50.120
This is Dr. Clearing. He spends his day working with all sorts of animals

04:35:51.640 --> 04:35:56.800
We have got a lot of exams to look through. We're gonna go ahead and start with the animal that is probably gonna hate this the most

04:35:57.320 --> 04:35:59.320
What kind of...

04:35:59.320 --> 04:36:03.320
What kind of animal?

04:36:03.320 --> 04:36:04.320
Hello.

04:36:04.320 --> 04:36:05.320
Hi.

04:36:05.320 --> 04:36:06.320
Do you have plans in?

04:36:06.320 --> 04:36:08.320
I'm just going to put you into this takeout container.

04:36:08.320 --> 04:36:10.320
Does that look fun?

04:36:10.320 --> 04:36:11.320
Nope.

04:36:11.320 --> 04:36:13.320
Toes here has an almost embarrassing name.

04:36:13.320 --> 04:36:14.320
His name's Toes?

04:36:14.320 --> 04:36:16.320
His name's Toes?

04:36:16.320 --> 04:36:21.320
I believe that she lays too many eggs.

04:36:21.320 --> 04:36:23.320
There we go.

04:36:23.320 --> 04:36:26.320
Hi, peepie.

04:36:26.320 --> 04:36:32.580
Wow right in my dirty bed. I'm so sorry and I'm worried she's gonna crash her calcium levels

04:36:32.580 --> 04:36:38.160
So I want to check I think I've ever met toes. You've never met let's be toes cuz she probably has it in here fair

04:36:38.160 --> 04:36:42.160
We're not she's crazy. She's feral. She doesn't really bite unless she's really

04:36:43.440 --> 04:36:49.920
So what do you do with the eggs like with the babies? She lays the key blanks sometimes six eggs and of course in three months

04:36:49.920 --> 04:36:51.920
Wow, yeah, careful

04:36:53.520 --> 04:36:55.520
She's a nice got a real full abdomen

04:36:56.320 --> 04:36:57.640
She might be, does she grab it again?

04:36:57.640 --> 04:36:58.440
Could be.

04:36:58.440 --> 04:37:00.040
Who the fuck the ultrasound on?

04:37:00.040 --> 04:37:02.240
Yeah, childbirth isn't easy on any animal.

04:37:02.240 --> 04:37:03.280
No, I cannot imagine.

04:37:03.280 --> 04:37:05.960
Dr. Cleary is looking for calcium sacs in her throat.

04:37:07.160 --> 04:37:09.200
They can indicate healthy calcium levels.

04:37:09.200 --> 04:37:11.840
There's no giant calcium sacs in there.

04:37:11.840 --> 04:37:13.360
I know, I know.

04:37:13.360 --> 04:37:14.200
It's me.

04:37:14.200 --> 04:37:15.520
Aw.

04:37:15.520 --> 04:37:17.240
Let's see what the ultrasound tells us about it.

04:37:17.240 --> 04:37:19.720
I gotta say, dude, the thing I've had the hardest time

04:37:19.720 --> 04:37:22.040
adjusting to you with like Gus is,

04:37:22.040 --> 04:37:23.720
sometimes you gotta do stuff to the animals

04:37:23.720 --> 04:37:25.160
that they don't fucking want.

04:37:25.160 --> 04:37:28.360
Like he gets very gooby, like his face gets really gooby,

04:37:28.360 --> 04:37:30.120
he gets these goobs, like eye goobs,

04:37:30.120 --> 04:37:33.040
and his face gets like, his folds get really gross,

04:37:33.040 --> 04:37:34.040
and so you don't like clean them,

04:37:34.040 --> 04:37:35.920
you don't like wipe it with like these special wipes,

04:37:35.920 --> 04:37:37.400
and you have to like get in there,

04:37:37.400 --> 04:37:38.320
and he does not like it,

04:37:38.320 --> 04:37:39.680
and he like, you're like fighting,

04:37:39.680 --> 04:37:41.960
and he like makes noises, and I'm like, it's okay,

04:37:41.960 --> 04:37:44.880
I'm sorry, like I'm not trying to hurt you,

04:37:44.880 --> 04:37:46.240
but I have to do it.

04:37:46.240 --> 04:37:49.600
I got her in the boat, I like it, I like it.

04:37:49.600 --> 04:37:53.600
But we sacrifice personality for Luxia.

04:37:53.600 --> 04:37:55.880
She is round up the bite at some point.

04:37:55.880 --> 04:37:58.080
She wants to take that little pat on her chest.

04:37:58.080 --> 04:38:00.200
No, we trust.

04:38:00.200 --> 04:38:01.520
Oh, yep, there's an egg.

04:38:01.520 --> 04:38:03.760
Oh my god.

04:38:03.760 --> 04:38:05.000
That's a long one too.

04:38:06.440 --> 04:38:07.840
But there's good calcium deposition.

04:38:07.840 --> 04:38:08.680
Wait, how does?

04:38:08.680 --> 04:38:10.640
And you can see so, you know how it's dark.

04:38:10.640 --> 04:38:12.120
How does it lay the egg though?

04:38:12.120 --> 04:38:13.880
That's because there's calcium building up

04:38:13.880 --> 04:38:14.760
on the shell around it.

04:38:14.760 --> 04:38:18.480
So it's blocking the sound waves from going.

04:38:18.480 --> 04:38:19.680
So that's a good sign.

04:38:19.680 --> 04:38:22.840
Not only is she gravid or pregnant with eggs,

04:38:22.840 --> 04:38:26.120
but she's got two in the oven in the form of follicles.

04:38:26.120 --> 04:38:27.680
I should always spare if you want to.

04:38:27.680 --> 04:38:31.200
But it's, but that looks like such a big egg is such a smallness on her.

04:38:31.200 --> 04:38:34.440
I think that's around like 12 to 1500 roughly.

04:38:34.440 --> 04:38:37.080
Because the calcium deposition on the eggs looks solid,

04:38:37.080 --> 04:38:40.440
there is no way I'm putting toes under the knife.

04:38:40.440 --> 04:38:43.080
Toes, you win this round.

04:38:43.080 --> 04:38:47.160
You may have noticed that I packed the lizards in the food containers that we eat out of.

04:38:47.160 --> 04:38:50.280
But for the snakes, it's a little bit different.

04:38:50.280 --> 04:38:56.180
Actually use a pillowcase for my bed to transport them. I know I hate the room of Ivan here

04:38:57.420 --> 04:39:01.660
My pretty girl Penelope here is going in for what that's not a long time check out

04:39:03.000 --> 04:39:09.880
So I'm from Penelope has only ever bitten the vet. This is a very special girl. Oh, she's gorgeous

04:39:11.100 --> 04:39:13.100
It is a very pretty snake

04:39:13.100 --> 04:39:17.300
I don't really like saying that much, but I'm not afraid of them. I just don't like avoiding the fences.

04:39:17.300 --> 04:39:18.580
Oh, she's gorgeous.

04:39:18.580 --> 04:39:20.580
Penelope is perfect.

04:39:20.580 --> 04:39:22.580
Or at least I thought.

04:39:22.580 --> 04:39:24.580
She's got things to do.

04:39:24.580 --> 04:39:26.580
400 grams, okay.

04:39:26.580 --> 04:39:28.580
Oh man, I love her eyes.

04:39:28.580 --> 04:39:30.580
She should not be grabbing.

04:39:30.580 --> 04:39:32.080
Yeah.

04:39:32.080 --> 04:39:34.080
There's something just kissable about her.

04:39:34.080 --> 04:39:36.080
She's beautiful.

04:39:36.080 --> 04:39:38.080
She's gonna bite?

04:39:38.080 --> 04:39:40.080
Oh.

04:39:40.080 --> 04:39:42.080
Okay, okay. You want a little thing to hide in while I feel your belly?

04:39:42.080 --> 04:39:46.560
your belly. So far so good and now it's time for an ultrasound. What's the weirdest thing

04:39:46.560 --> 04:39:54.720
you ever found during an ultrasound? Oh, we found an inter-susception in a 30-year-old

04:39:54.720 --> 04:39:59.440
red tailed boa. So that's basically where it's kind of like when you roll a sock off,

04:39:59.440 --> 04:40:03.520
how it kind of doubles over. The intestines were doing that to itself, so it was constricting

04:40:03.520 --> 04:40:04.520
Oh, that's bad.

04:40:04.520 --> 04:40:05.520
Yeah.

04:40:05.520 --> 04:40:07.520
And it wound up having this weird tumor.

04:40:10.520 --> 04:40:14.520
She had a couple cysts on her kidneys.

04:40:14.520 --> 04:40:17.520
So giving ultrasound to a snake looks crazy.

04:40:17.520 --> 04:40:18.520
Sometimes it's benign.

04:40:18.520 --> 04:40:19.520
So does dark areas.

04:40:19.520 --> 04:40:20.520
Penelope has...

04:40:20.520 --> 04:40:22.520
Penelope has wiggling cysts.

04:40:22.520 --> 04:40:23.520
But because they're benign,

04:40:23.520 --> 04:40:25.520
Penelope is still perfect to me.

04:40:27.520 --> 04:40:29.520
But for our next patient, my concerns are...

04:40:29.520 --> 04:40:30.520
The frog!

04:40:30.520 --> 04:40:32.520
Okay, I was gonna say, I kinda wanted to see the frog.

04:40:32.520 --> 04:40:34.020
Okay, that's the only one I was really interested in.

04:40:34.020 --> 04:40:36.020
This is Dumpling.

04:40:36.020 --> 04:40:38.020
He is my male rainfrog.

04:40:38.020 --> 04:40:40.020
He is not a reptile.

04:40:40.020 --> 04:40:42.020
He looks like he's covered in sugar.

04:40:42.020 --> 04:40:44.020
But he is covered in sugar, with a beautiful booty.

04:40:44.020 --> 04:40:46.020
Much, much better than yours.

04:40:46.020 --> 04:40:48.020
But that was too long for the title.

04:40:50.020 --> 04:40:52.020
It is my goal to breed them.

04:40:52.020 --> 04:40:54.020
But I can't seem to get Dumpling to call

04:40:56.020 --> 04:40:58.020
a crucial part of the breeding process.

04:40:58.020 --> 04:41:00.020
They're attacking him. Fight back!

04:41:00.020 --> 04:41:03.360
But I noticed that one of his lungs looks enlarged.

04:41:03.360 --> 04:41:06.020
Could this be an ailment preventing dumpling from calling?

04:41:06.020 --> 04:41:09.660
God, his butt just does it for me, though.

04:41:09.660 --> 04:41:10.660
And he's got a small one.

04:41:10.660 --> 04:41:11.660
What?

04:41:11.660 --> 04:41:15.140
Whatever this guy is, is pressed right up against the skin.

04:41:15.140 --> 04:41:19.300
So these guys don't have a diaphragm, so anywhere, if there's an organ somewhere, it's going

04:41:19.300 --> 04:41:21.700
to compress the lungs first, because lungs filled with air.

04:41:21.700 --> 04:41:25.620
We're all going to look at the ultrasound, okay buddy.

04:41:25.620 --> 04:41:30.020
I'm putting him in here so that, oh, he's a nerd.

04:41:30.020 --> 04:41:33.940
So that we don't get the slowness of skin.

04:41:33.940 --> 04:41:35.340
It's just distilled water.

04:41:39.700 --> 04:41:40.540
Or slime.

04:41:41.460 --> 04:41:42.500
So that's this inside.

04:41:42.500 --> 04:41:44.100
You can see his little heart going.

04:41:47.820 --> 04:41:48.660
It's beating.

04:41:48.660 --> 04:41:49.820
It's good.

04:41:49.820 --> 04:41:50.900
He's alive.

04:41:50.900 --> 04:41:54.380
Stem of wall thickness is 0.15 centimeters.

04:41:54.380 --> 04:41:55.580
Oh man.

04:41:55.580 --> 04:41:57.180
He doesn't get anywhere too many runs.

04:41:57.180 --> 04:41:59.460
And they can only get like 10 inches at a time.

04:41:59.460 --> 04:42:00.980
Running is a generous word.

04:42:00.980 --> 04:42:01.940
Ha ha ha.

04:42:03.700 --> 04:42:05.700
Nothing's looking at all.

04:42:05.700 --> 04:42:09.660
And I think the stuff right on the side is the liver.

04:42:09.660 --> 04:42:11.460
All that worry to find out that lump

04:42:11.460 --> 04:42:13.620
is probably just his liver.

04:42:13.620 --> 04:42:16.660
More obvious than males because they have less body fat.

04:42:16.660 --> 04:42:17.500
Oh he's okay.

04:42:17.500 --> 04:42:18.340
I'm thinking of weird lumps.

04:42:18.340 --> 04:42:19.180
Our next.

04:42:19.180 --> 04:42:20.000
Okay.

04:42:20.000 --> 04:42:20.820
I wanna go to the other one.

04:42:20.820 --> 04:42:22.420
I just wanted to see if he was okay.

04:42:22.420 --> 04:42:23.460
That was pretty good though.

04:42:23.460 --> 04:42:24.300
That was pretty good.

04:42:24.300 --> 04:42:31.840
Honestly, being a vet is, you think you're going to be just playing with dogs and cats

04:42:31.840 --> 04:42:32.840
all the time?

04:42:32.840 --> 04:42:38.720
I just realized I probably, I probably wouldn't be built for it to be honest with you.

04:42:38.720 --> 04:42:41.000
Okay, alright, I have this one.

04:42:41.000 --> 04:42:44.100
Yeah, I thought this would be a pretty good video.

04:42:44.100 --> 04:42:45.920
It's actually from a really small channel.

04:42:45.920 --> 04:42:46.920
I got recommended it.

04:42:46.920 --> 04:42:51.800
It's like, it's the seven levels of competitive FPS games, and so I saw Overwatch was number

04:42:51.800 --> 04:42:58.240
Four behind Rainbow Six Siege and ahead of Halo and I thought that was really interesting

04:42:58.240 --> 04:43:01.700
So I was like, you know what? Let's hear your reasoning mr. YouTuber man

04:43:07.040 --> 04:43:09.040
What is your reasoning?

04:43:21.800 --> 04:43:23.800
They're showing goats, oh.

04:43:27.560 --> 04:43:31.560
Well, so nothing against R6, but I think Overwatch is way harder than R6.

04:43:33.000 --> 04:43:35.000
Let's get one thing straight.

04:43:35.000 --> 04:43:38.520
Not all competitive FPS games are created equal.

04:43:38.520 --> 04:43:43.240
Some are crowd-pleasers, others are deep tactical chess matches,

04:43:43.240 --> 04:43:47.320
and one sits at the mountaintop like an untouchable god.

04:43:47.320 --> 04:43:47.720
So it's like serious?

04:43:47.720 --> 04:43:50.520
But ranging them, that's where things get nuclear.

04:43:51.360 --> 04:43:58.900
That it is where things get nuclear and I know CS is like the biggest e-sport. It's one of the biggest games of all time

04:44:03.800 --> 04:44:05.480
No doubt

04:44:05.480 --> 04:44:07.480
But I feel like a lot of like

04:44:08.080 --> 04:44:11.400
Talk but I feel like there's some modern games that are like so much more

04:44:11.800 --> 04:44:13.200
There's so much to them

04:44:13.200 --> 04:44:18.200
But I guess like like CS you've been refining those skills for like 20 years, you know

04:44:18.200 --> 04:44:31.200
The competitive FPS series isn't just about getting the fastest, it's about legacy, depth, cultural impact, and whether your game will bear a mere 5 years, or forgotten faster than a TikTok trend.

04:44:31.200 --> 04:44:37.200
Relieving to the golden age of tactical shooters, yet half these games are built on foundations shaking...

04:44:37.200 --> 04:44:40.200
This is Cod, right? Biggest Legion Los Angeles thing in this Cod.

04:44:40.200 --> 04:44:47.200
...and the most cards in a hurricane. So buckle up, because here are 7 levels of competitive FPS games.

04:44:47.200 --> 04:44:52.160
games. You want to know a fun fact? It's been years. It's fine now. No one's going to come after me.

04:44:52.720 --> 04:44:58.720
But I remember when I used to work in Overwatch League. So Overwatch League season two ending

04:44:59.920 --> 04:45:05.280
was in Philadelphia. And so they have an investors meeting, right? And I got to go down. I got to

04:45:05.280 --> 04:45:10.000
go down all the big wigs because they were like they need their young intern to fucking

04:45:10.000 --> 04:45:13.920
and please translate competitive speak and like, okay.

04:45:15.040 --> 04:45:18.640
So they do an investors meeting for Overwatch League

04:45:19.880 --> 04:45:24.880
and you wanna know what was very upsetting slash funny.

04:45:25.000 --> 04:45:28.460
At 2019 investors meeting Overwatch League,

04:45:28.460 --> 04:45:31.280
they didn't talk about Overwatch, they talked about COD.

04:45:31.280 --> 04:45:32.680
They were excited about COD coming up

04:45:32.680 --> 04:45:34.120
and they wanted everybody to start investing

04:45:34.120 --> 04:45:36.800
in the COD scene that they had created

04:45:36.800 --> 04:45:38.920
and they were trying to pitch it to all the teams.

04:45:38.920 --> 04:45:43.260
And so I remember like our leadership was really annoyed

04:45:43.260 --> 04:45:44.480
because they weren't interested in COD.

04:45:44.480 --> 04:45:45.320
And they were like,

04:45:45.320 --> 04:45:48.120
why are we going to an investor meeting about this league?

04:45:48.120 --> 04:45:49.320
And then they don't want to talk about the league.

04:45:49.320 --> 04:45:50.240
They want to talk about a new one.

04:45:50.240 --> 04:45:51.480
They want more money.

04:45:51.480 --> 04:45:53.320
And I remember just being like,

04:45:53.320 --> 04:45:54.160
I didn't know much.

04:45:54.160 --> 04:45:55.000
I was like, I know COD,

04:45:55.000 --> 04:45:56.680
but like I don't know anything but like professional COD

04:45:56.680 --> 04:45:57.760
at the time, you know?

04:45:59.920 --> 04:46:00.920
And it's funny that COD,

04:46:00.920 --> 04:46:03.320
the COD League lasts, I mean,

04:46:03.320 --> 04:46:05.320
it doesn't, COD League doesn't still go on technically, right?

04:46:05.320 --> 04:46:07.780
Like it's like something else now, right?

04:46:08.920 --> 04:46:11.200
But, yeah, just a fun fact that that was interesting.

04:46:11.200 --> 04:46:13.120
Level 1, The Graveyard.

04:46:13.840 --> 04:46:15.720
Welcome to the FPS Graveyard.

04:46:15.720 --> 04:46:16.960
Is it a graveyard?

04:46:17.480 --> 04:46:18.320
Level 1.

04:46:19.040 --> 04:46:20.120
Concord?

04:46:20.560 --> 04:46:22.440
Putting Concord here is diabolical.

04:46:23.200 --> 04:46:24.120
X Defiant.

04:46:24.120 --> 04:46:25.840
Putting Concord and X Defiant next to...

04:46:25.840 --> 04:46:27.280
I feel like this should be a war...

04:46:27.280 --> 04:46:28.600
Well, actual war crime.

04:46:28.600 --> 04:46:29.840
Inspector Divide.

04:46:29.840 --> 04:46:31.720
Dude, I forgot about Inspector Divide.

04:46:31.720 --> 04:46:33.600
Dude, that game actually, unironically,

04:46:33.800 --> 04:46:35.640
kinda had a cool premise,

04:46:35.760 --> 04:46:38.040
but it had no marketing behind it, and it was like...

04:46:38.040 --> 04:46:43.040
The same thing as Valorant and other games I've done a hundred times with not much difference.

04:46:43.040 --> 04:46:44.040
So I don't think it caught on.

04:46:44.040 --> 04:46:48.040
But I actually thought it was going to be a decent game.

04:46:48.040 --> 04:46:50.040
But I don't play tax shooters, so it wasn't for me.

04:46:50.040 --> 04:46:52.040
But I thought it had a cool premise.

04:46:52.040 --> 04:46:53.040
Graveyard.

04:46:53.040 --> 04:46:54.040
And then putting X to find it there.

04:46:54.040 --> 04:46:56.040
I think X to find it just needed more time in the oven.

04:46:56.040 --> 04:46:58.040
Or not sorry, not more time in the oven.

04:46:58.040 --> 04:46:59.040
It needed more time to cook.

04:46:59.040 --> 04:47:01.040
It just needed with a cod cycle to die.

04:47:01.040 --> 04:47:05.040
He has a graveyard where million-dollar budgets meet reality

04:47:05.040 --> 04:47:10.040
and corporate ambitions get buried faster than you can say servers shutting down.

04:47:10.040 --> 04:47:17.040
This isn't a single game, it's an entire tier of titles that convinced themselves they could detour on the kinks.

04:47:17.040 --> 04:47:20.040
First, let's pour one out for Sony's Concorde.

04:47:20.040 --> 04:47:22.040
No, let's not do that.

04:47:22.040 --> 04:47:29.040
It is in development, 400 million budget, and it lasted exactly 14 days before getting yanked offline.

04:47:29.040 --> 04:47:32.240
Well, dude, I do you guys remember the sponsored stream?

04:47:32.240 --> 04:47:33.520
E-Mong had a sponsor stream.

04:47:33.520 --> 04:47:34.360
I wasn't sponsored.

04:47:34.360 --> 04:47:35.960
They didn't want to sponsor me.

04:47:35.960 --> 04:47:40.160
And so I played with him, so he didn't have to play by himself.

04:47:40.160 --> 04:47:43.640
And I'd have to mute to fucking bitch you guys because I was like, dude,

04:47:44.200 --> 04:47:46.600
my fucking mouse kept going to my other monitor.

04:47:46.600 --> 04:47:48.320
I was like, what the fuck is happening?

04:47:48.320 --> 04:47:50.000
But like, I was like, yeah, like I can see it.

04:47:50.000 --> 04:47:51.320
Like it's like a hero.

04:47:51.320 --> 04:47:56.480
Sure. Like, yeah, but like they need to fix the PC stuff like really badly.

04:47:56.840 --> 04:47:58.080
And then it didn't even get that long.

04:47:58.080 --> 04:47:58.580
Just die.

04:47:58.580 --> 04:47:59.380
13 days.

04:47:59.780 --> 04:48:02.880
That's barely enough time for players to learn the character names.

04:48:03.280 --> 04:48:06.980
On the other hand, X Defiant had everything going for it on paper.

04:48:07.080 --> 04:48:10.280
Ubisoft backing, Decent Gunplay, Nostalgic Faction.

04:48:10.280 --> 04:48:12.380
Ooh, Ubisoft backing.

04:48:12.880 --> 04:48:13.480
Astrics.

04:48:13.480 --> 04:48:14.180
And theming.

04:48:14.280 --> 04:48:16.680
But Decent doesn't cut it in the genre.

04:48:16.880 --> 04:48:20.780
Players tried it, shrugged, and went back to the games that actually mattered.

04:48:21.080 --> 04:48:22.580
Meanwhile, Spectre divide-

04:48:22.580 --> 04:48:25.580
I- I think I don't totally agree with the- the X Defiant take-

04:48:25.580 --> 04:48:29.860
I think that COD Cycle was gonna kill it and they gave up when the new COD came out and

04:48:29.860 --> 04:48:32.740
that COD did not last fucking a month.

04:48:32.740 --> 04:48:34.740
People hated the new COD the year that...

04:48:34.740 --> 04:48:39.860
It wasn't this year or last year, I forget, but like, dude, COD shit to bed that year

04:48:39.860 --> 04:48:41.740
and they had already announced like, oh, we're done.

04:48:41.740 --> 04:48:43.260
It's like, no, give it another month or two.

04:48:43.260 --> 04:48:44.740
Like you should at least try, you know.

04:48:44.740 --> 04:48:48.180
But the bold promise of controlling two bodies simultaneously.

04:48:48.180 --> 04:48:50.020
Innovative, absolutely.

04:48:50.020 --> 04:48:54.820
Sustainable as a competitive ecosystem, the player can't speak for themselves.

04:48:54.820 --> 04:48:59.540
Each one had passionate developers, unique mechanics, and corporate executives convinced

04:48:59.540 --> 04:49:01.140
they found the secret sauce.

04:49:01.140 --> 04:49:05.300
Here's a brutal truth these games all learned too late.

04:49:05.300 --> 04:49:08.580
Innovation without retention is just expensive fireworks.

04:49:08.580 --> 04:49:14.140
The FPS graveyard is literally titles that prioritize being different, which unfortunately

04:49:14.140 --> 04:49:15.140
isn't enough.

04:49:15.140 --> 04:49:16.820
True, that is true actually.

04:49:16.820 --> 04:49:17.820
Level 2.

04:49:17.820 --> 04:49:18.820
Call of Duty.

04:49:18.820 --> 04:49:22.660
Let's start with the elephant wearing a golden headset.

04:49:22.660 --> 04:49:24.300
Call of Duty competitive.

04:49:24.300 --> 04:49:31.660
The CDL pulls 100,000 plus viewers for finals and 126 million prize pools like candy.

04:49:31.660 --> 04:49:36.940
But calling Call of Duty a competitive FPS feels like calling McDonald's fine dining.

04:49:36.940 --> 04:49:41.940
Sure, millions consume it, but is anyone really taking it seriously when the game literally

04:49:41.940 --> 04:49:43.940
aims for you?

04:49:43.940 --> 04:49:47.820
Well, I don't think it has so excellent with my battle met.

04:49:47.820 --> 04:49:48.980
I don't think it's that.

04:49:48.980 --> 04:49:55.320
I think it's actually caught as casual in a lot of ways and casuals don't give a fuck.

04:49:55.320 --> 04:50:02.020
But caught is arguably the largest video game franchise of all time.

04:50:02.020 --> 04:50:03.580
I don't know if it's still true today.

04:50:03.580 --> 04:50:09.020
It's fallen off quite a bit since it's heyday, but I think overall it is probably the largest

04:50:09.020 --> 04:50:12.120
franchise in history, right?

04:50:12.120 --> 04:50:16.780
And so you have a lot of people to pull in, right, Pokemon?

04:50:16.780 --> 04:50:24.020
Okay, Pokemon, you got a good point, but Pokemon's more than a video game.

04:50:24.020 --> 04:50:31.020
Pokemon's like everything, you know, like the shows and merchandise.

04:50:31.020 --> 04:50:32.020
You're right.

04:50:32.020 --> 04:50:43.300
But like, I think as a game, 2K, no, I think COD is more popular than 2K all time.

04:50:43.300 --> 04:50:48.180
If you want to put all the games together, Madden, 2K, MLB, NHL, put them all together,

04:50:48.180 --> 04:50:52.900
maybe, but you got to remember, all the Cod bros play all the sports games, right?

04:50:52.900 --> 04:50:56.500
They probably all play the same thing, ball and gun for a reason, right?

04:50:58.340 --> 04:51:03.220
Regardless though, right? He said one of, so he's all right. Yeah, okay, like everyone always

04:51:03.220 --> 04:51:08.580
wants to go, I'm actually, okay, like, do you want to talk about like semantics? Sure, like,

04:51:08.580 --> 04:51:12.500
there could be this one or could be this one, but it's still up there, right? Point being though,

04:51:13.300 --> 04:51:15.860
Um, they just don't care.

04:51:15.860 --> 04:51:19.400
They have the huge people to pull from, but like most casuals, like they didn't really

04:51:19.400 --> 04:51:24.740
care that much, like, realistically.

04:51:24.740 --> 04:51:31.460
Not a super competitive game, but it is competitive to play, but people don't want to go pro and

04:51:31.460 --> 04:51:32.460
cod very much.

04:51:32.460 --> 04:51:38.740
To the CDL apologist won't admit, all of Beauty's aim assist is so aggressive it practically

04:51:38.740 --> 04:51:40.300
plays the game for you.

04:51:40.300 --> 04:51:45.260
We're talking rotational aimesses that tracks targets through walls, bullet magnetism that

04:51:45.260 --> 04:51:50.460
bends shots towards enemies, and sticky crosshairs that make missing harder than hitting.

04:51:50.460 --> 04:51:55.420
So how do you build a competitive scene around mechanics that reduces skill gap to almost

04:51:55.420 --> 04:51:56.420
nothing?

04:51:56.420 --> 04:52:01.780
Meanwhile, the scene also resets itself every single year like competitive amnesia.

04:52:01.780 --> 04:52:05.580
New game, new meta, new maps, new everything.

04:52:05.580 --> 04:52:08.180
The numbers look impressive on paper.

04:52:08.180 --> 04:52:12.500
versus FaZe Grand Finals pooling 200. This feels like a setup for like CS is the best

04:52:12.500 --> 04:52:19.540
game of all time. I saw the thumbnail but like this feels like a setup it's like oh it's

04:52:19.540 --> 04:52:24.780
a different game every year everyone has amnesia like it's like let's pump the brakes a little

04:52:24.780 --> 04:52:28.340
bit you could say that you could say that with a couple of different games that are

04:52:28.340 --> 04:52:31.620
still like you have to introduce a new map it's like well now everyone has to learn

04:52:31.620 --> 04:52:37.820
the new map or like heroes get reworked or guns get reworked or whatever it's like I

04:52:37.820 --> 04:52:41.820
I think you could say that it's maybe a lower tier eSport

04:52:41.820 --> 04:52:45.500
because of things like the aim assist,

04:52:45.500 --> 04:52:48.860
things like control versus mouse and keyboard.

04:52:48.860 --> 04:52:51.340
You could say, but just like how active

04:52:51.340 --> 04:52:54.100
its current player base is with the eSport,

04:52:54.100 --> 04:52:57.500
like for like, let's say it gets a million players a day,

04:52:57.500 --> 04:52:59.340
like let's just say, right, like I know it's not,

04:52:59.340 --> 04:53:00.740
let's say a million players a day,

04:53:00.740 --> 04:53:04.940
but only 50,000 of them watch the eSport on average.

04:53:04.940 --> 04:53:06.340
Like, well, that's pretty decent,

04:53:06.340 --> 04:53:07.420
but probably not that high,

04:53:07.420 --> 04:53:12.980
Considering that's just daily players like monthly. Let's say it's 10,000 towards like 10 million players playing cod

04:53:12.980 --> 04:53:17.780
And it's like only 50,000 of those people really care about the east world and then all of a sudden it doesn't look very good, right?

04:53:20.180 --> 04:53:23.080
So it's like you could say that they're not very

04:53:23.920 --> 04:53:27.580
Connected and it's more and more casual that's trying to have any sport rivals is almost a good example

04:53:28.300 --> 04:53:30.540
But I don't know about the thousand viewers

04:53:31.660 --> 04:53:33.660
$300,000

04:53:33.660 --> 04:53:38.940
But strip away the marketing budget and nostalgia, and you're left with an elaborate commercial

04:53:38.940 --> 04:53:41.140
for the next $70 release.

04:53:41.140 --> 04:53:47.100
It's pretty much competitive fast food, engineered for mass appeal, profitable as hell, but ultimately

04:53:47.100 --> 04:53:48.620
very disposable.

04:53:48.620 --> 04:53:50.380
Level 3

04:53:50.380 --> 04:53:57.660
Halo literally wrote the blueprint for console e-sports when most of you were still learning

04:53:57.660 --> 04:53:58.660
to walk.

04:53:58.660 --> 04:54:04.380
Before Counter-Strike was selling out to Venus, Master Chief was packing MLG events with 50k

04:54:04.380 --> 04:54:08.380
streaming fans watching split-screening local duels.

04:54:08.380 --> 04:54:14.300
The 2007 MLG Vegas finals between Final Boss and Carbon pulled the numbers that would make

04:54:14.300 --> 04:54:17.660
modern Halo Championship series event cry.

04:54:17.660 --> 04:54:20.300
But let's address the uncomfortable truth.

04:54:20.300 --> 04:54:25.420
Halo today is a former Heavyweight Champion still throwing punches at 50.

04:54:25.420 --> 04:54:27.020
The Halo World Championship...

04:54:27.020 --> 04:54:29.020
More like throwing punches at 70.

04:54:29.020 --> 04:54:36.180
...2023 peaked at 115,000 viewers, which is respectable, but a far cry from what other

04:54:36.180 --> 04:54:38.380
eSports games routinely pull.

04:54:38.380 --> 04:54:42.620
Modern Halo is living off legacy, modern current relevance, and everyone knows.

04:54:42.620 --> 04:54:45.420
Yeah, I loved Halo.

04:54:45.420 --> 04:54:47.940
Dude, Halo was my shit, dude.

04:54:47.940 --> 04:54:53.700
Everyone wanted to be MLG Halo back in the day, Halo 2, Halo 3.

04:54:53.700 --> 04:54:58.500
Let's do some game battles or do some some MLG tournaments, but like now it's like

04:55:00.420 --> 04:55:06.780
I don't know what happened like obviously it's a different studio obviously like it's been so many years like the gameplay is just different now

04:55:07.380 --> 04:55:08.940
but like

04:55:08.940 --> 04:55:13.940
You know what? I think Halo truly means it needs a really fucking good campaign

04:55:14.380 --> 04:55:17.020
Like genuinely it needs a really good campaign

04:55:17.020 --> 04:55:21.020
It needs really good tools for its community to build cool shit

04:55:21.020 --> 04:55:24.460
It needs good social features and then an eSport can pop up

04:55:24.620 --> 04:55:29.660
But if you try to just go straight eSport it will fail like they just don't have there's no connection

04:55:29.740 --> 04:55:35.960
All those people have aged out right like everybody who loved Halo and terrible Halo has fucking kids now

04:55:36.380 --> 04:55:41.220
There the fuck they've got kids and maybe even some of them's kids are gonna have kids soon

04:55:41.220 --> 04:55:45.060
You know I mean like they're they're aging out. They just don't have the time. They just don't care

04:55:45.060 --> 04:55:51.860
They need something to bring them back into it. And so without that, I don't think you're ever gonna climb back out of the hole that it's currently in.

04:55:51.860 --> 04:55:59.860
Yes, Piers White Halo still deserves this poll. It proved console FPS could be just as skill-intensive as PC games, but...

04:55:59.860 --> 04:56:06.500
Yes, honestly, I think it is super skill-intensive, but there's also a culture difference with console and PC.

04:56:06.500 --> 04:56:11.940
PC is much more integrated like Esports, Twitch, YouTube, all this stuff. Console is like a little more separate.

04:56:11.940 --> 04:56:13.940
Everyone said it was impossible.

04:56:13.940 --> 04:56:20.420
Poor shot, BR kills, phone timing, mastery, power weapon control, this wasn't casual couch gaming.

04:56:20.420 --> 04:56:26.100
Halo pioneered the LAN party atmosphere that every modern e-sports event tries to recapture.

04:56:26.100 --> 04:56:31.380
Those MLG and Aheim crowds weren't just watching a game. They were witnessing history.

04:56:31.380 --> 04:56:36.260
The game might be swimming in a smaller pond than now, but it's a pond Halo helped dig.

04:56:36.260 --> 04:56:40.260
That counts for something. Even if the current fish aren't as big as they used to be.

04:56:40.260 --> 04:56:43.220
I agree with this, that's actually the best take so far.

04:56:43.220 --> 04:56:45.260
Level 4 Overwatch

04:56:45.260 --> 04:56:49.060
Overwatch is the most expensive lesson in eSports history.

04:56:49.060 --> 04:56:50.060
And we all got...

04:56:50.060 --> 04:56:51.060
Oh, we're about to get cooked.

04:56:51.060 --> 04:56:53.580
...to watch the train wreck in 4K.

04:56:53.580 --> 04:56:58.660
Activision Blizzard's worth 20 million franchise fees at the Overwatch League convinced they

04:56:58.660 --> 04:57:01.420
could buy their way into traditional sports legitimacy.

04:57:01.420 --> 04:57:08.420
For one brief shining moment in 2018-2019, it actually looked like it might work.

04:57:08.420 --> 04:57:11.220
40 million plus viewers from Grand Finals.

04:57:11.220 --> 04:57:12.740
That's actually not totally true.

04:57:12.740 --> 04:57:15.220
It actually worked into 2020.

04:57:15.220 --> 04:57:18.340
The problem is, 2020, they shifted

04:57:18.340 --> 04:57:20.300
to the home and away format.

04:57:20.300 --> 04:57:22.700
So basically, history lesson time.

04:57:22.700 --> 04:57:26.420
2018, every match was played in LA.

04:57:26.420 --> 04:57:29.420
Every team lived in LA until the Grand Finals,

04:57:29.420 --> 04:57:31.260
and then they all went to like New York or something.

04:57:31.260 --> 04:57:33.220
I forget where they went.

04:57:33.220 --> 04:57:36.500
2019, they started experimenting with home and away formats

04:57:36.500 --> 04:57:37.860
by doing things called homestands.

04:57:37.860 --> 04:57:41.660
So Dallas hosted one, I think Atlanta hosted one.

04:57:41.660 --> 04:57:43.860
It was the only events outside of grand finals

04:57:43.860 --> 04:57:44.680
that were in a different city

04:57:44.680 --> 04:57:47.200
and then Philadelphia hosted the finals, right?

04:57:47.200 --> 04:57:48.760
So basically they're trying to see

04:57:48.760 --> 04:57:50.920
if fans would travel to events.

04:57:50.920 --> 04:57:54.080
They were trying to become the next NFL of Esports.

04:57:54.080 --> 04:57:56.000
These went well because you would go

04:57:56.000 --> 04:57:57.520
and it wasn't just one match.

04:57:57.520 --> 04:58:01.840
You would go and see a bunch of different teams play, right?

04:58:01.840 --> 04:58:04.200
You'd have like four days of matches

04:58:04.200 --> 04:58:07.000
with like all 12 teams or all 20 teams.

04:58:07.000 --> 04:58:10.840
I mean, like you'd have like, not all 20, you'd have like, let's say 16 of the teams would go, right?

04:58:10.840 --> 04:58:16.080
And so you'd see tons of matches, tons of teams. So like, if you were a fan of like two or three teams,

04:58:16.080 --> 04:58:18.360
you could get to see all those teams play at the same time it worked.

04:58:19.040 --> 04:58:25.280
2020, they tried to go to home and away format where you would go to an event and you'd actually either see just,

04:58:25.280 --> 04:58:29.320
you'd see just that one team playing one other team, just like an NFL game.

04:58:29.320 --> 04:58:35.400
And they started to see that it wasn't looking too hot after the first few games and then COVID hit.

04:58:35.400 --> 04:58:43.720
COVID saved them actually low key because they went home and started to have to play from home

04:58:43.720 --> 04:58:51.000
to like go with the events and they play from home slash like facilities. The problem was though

04:58:51.000 --> 04:58:55.880
they needed to use that time to regroup and go back to LA. They didn't do that. They tried to go

04:58:55.880 --> 04:59:01.240
back into live events. It did not work. They were bleeding money like crazy. The revenue was not there

04:59:01.240 --> 04:59:04.120
and the original vision of home and away disappeared

04:59:04.120 --> 04:59:06.040
because COVID, and so a lot of teams

04:59:06.040 --> 04:59:07.480
started laying off all their staff.

04:59:07.480 --> 04:59:09.040
I was included in that, by the way.

04:59:09.040 --> 04:59:11.400
And then after that, they just realized

04:59:11.400 --> 04:59:13.760
they were bleeding millions of dollars and wanted out.

04:59:13.760 --> 04:59:15.280
And so teams were basically just saying,

04:59:15.280 --> 04:59:16.120
fuck it, we want out.

04:59:16.120 --> 04:59:17.520
Get us out, get us out, get us out.

04:59:17.520 --> 04:59:21.140
And so eventually, oh, sorry, there's another big piece.

04:59:21.140 --> 04:59:23.040
I forgot, I almost forgot the history.

04:59:24.040 --> 04:59:25.920
They sold out.

04:59:25.920 --> 04:59:27.680
They sold us out.

04:59:27.680 --> 04:59:31.660
In 2019, they got a huge like $120 million

04:59:31.660 --> 04:59:35.560
YouTube offer to stream exclusively on YouTube.

04:59:35.560 --> 04:59:38.360
Twitch at the time was pulling massive viewership.

04:59:38.360 --> 04:59:39.980
Plus they were embedding the streams, I think,

04:59:39.980 --> 04:59:41.680
on like websites, because like,

04:59:41.680 --> 04:59:43.120
you could tell like the viewership would go super high

04:59:43.120 --> 04:59:44.160
and super low, super high, super low,

04:59:44.160 --> 04:59:45.680
even with drop systems, but like,

04:59:45.680 --> 04:59:48.240
they were probably embedding as well.

04:59:48.240 --> 04:59:50.480
And so people were hype, hype, hype, hype, hype.

04:59:50.480 --> 04:59:53.160
And then you also had the system

04:59:53.160 --> 04:59:55.760
where you could actually watch the game

04:59:55.760 --> 04:59:57.360
from people's point of view.

04:59:57.360 --> 04:59:59.600
Like if I wanted to watch just the Tank Players POV,

04:59:59.600 --> 05:00:01.200
I could watch just the Tank Players POV.

05:00:01.200 --> 05:00:03.960
It was a great system, it was 25 bucks for the year.

05:00:03.960 --> 05:00:05.600
And then it was a YouTube and they removed that feature.

05:00:05.600 --> 05:00:07.400
So you gave fans a cool feature,

05:00:07.400 --> 05:00:08.900
like almost like a red zone,

05:00:08.900 --> 05:00:10.640
and then you took it away from them and said,

05:00:10.640 --> 05:00:12.400
oh, it's better because we make money.

05:00:12.400 --> 05:00:14.560
And then they took away the drop system.

05:00:14.560 --> 05:00:16.720
So like if you watch, you get to get tokens

05:00:16.720 --> 05:00:19.680
to buy the in-game skins that you could only get

05:00:19.680 --> 05:00:22.200
by getting tokens from watching the eSport, right?

05:00:22.200 --> 05:00:24.380
It was like a reward system where if you watch the eSport,

05:00:24.380 --> 05:00:26.360
you could buy skins in-game of your favorite teams

05:00:26.360 --> 05:00:30.440
colors or whatever, they got rid of that because they went to YouTube and they had to rebuild

05:00:30.440 --> 05:00:35.400
the whole system for drops. It took like a year or more to build it again. And so they lost a ton

05:00:35.400 --> 05:00:41.480
of momentum as well. And so what happened was, realistically, the league got too greedy, too

05:00:41.480 --> 05:00:48.040
fast, tried to outgrow itself, stumbled, tripped, fell, fell down a hill, fell on a cliff, hit their

05:00:48.040 --> 05:00:54.760
head on the way down and then cried. Liberty Investors ESPN coverage. Then reality delivered

05:00:54.760 --> 05:00:59.200
the brutal lesson in why you can't just throw money at competitive integrity.

05:00:59.200 --> 05:01:01.840
The viewing experience was pure chaos.

05:01:01.840 --> 05:01:05.920
If you weren't already deep into Overwatch, watching Overwatch League felt like trying

05:01:05.920 --> 05:01:08.040
to understand quantum physics during the-

05:01:08.040 --> 05:01:11.280
Oh, and goats, and goats was what happened to him.

05:01:11.280 --> 05:01:16.480
Six ultimates going off simultaneously while casters screamed about huge graphs and perfect

05:01:16.480 --> 05:01:20.200
transcendence which made zero sense to outsiders.

05:01:20.200 --> 05:01:22.640
But the real killer was solo queue.

05:01:22.640 --> 05:01:28.160
Strangers trying to coordinate dive compositions in ultimate timing, it was like asking a pick

05:01:28.160 --> 05:01:31.400
up a basketball team to run Lakers level plays.

05:01:31.400 --> 05:01:33.540
This is not, this has nothing to do with Overwatch League.

05:01:33.540 --> 05:01:38.560
The disconnect between what pros played and what regular players experienced was so massive

05:01:38.560 --> 05:01:42.320
that watching Overwatch League felt like watching a different game entire.

05:01:42.320 --> 05:01:47.000
Well, yeah, of course, but you can say that for any sport.

05:01:47.000 --> 05:01:51.800
Of course, but like, I had nothing to do with that, at all, like not even a little.

05:01:51.800 --> 05:01:55.640
Overwatch 2 transition was supposed to fix everything five years.

05:01:55.640 --> 05:02:00.200
Oh, that was the other thing. I forgot about that. Overwatch 2 was played a year early

05:02:01.080 --> 05:02:04.520
for Pro League. So I was trying to think, why did it die so hard in 2021?

05:02:05.960 --> 05:02:13.240
After COVID 2020, 2021, they played Overwatch League on Overwatch 2. Overwatch 2 didn't release

05:02:13.240 --> 05:02:19.320
until the October of 2022. They played it a whole year early. Well, the game was still

05:02:19.320 --> 05:02:24.440
jank and they were trying to make it to pull it together so you could only watch overwatch 2

05:02:24.440 --> 05:02:31.320
and play overwatch 1 for a full year oh my god i forgot about five roll logs simplified gameplay

05:02:31.320 --> 05:02:37.560
instead it felt like renovating a house by burning it down first pve promises were broken legacy content

05:02:37.560 --> 05:02:43.240
was deleted and long time fans felt betrayed current overwatch league viewership rarely cracks

05:02:43.240 --> 05:02:49.080
50k for regular season matches. That's a there's a little outdated now. I can say because it's eight

05:02:49.080 --> 05:02:54.920
months ago. Actually, this is outdated even from eight months ago. Grand finals actually this weekend

05:02:54.920 --> 05:03:01.320
at four in the morning EST there were seven in the morning and four to seven in the morning,

05:03:01.320 --> 05:03:09.480
I think was at 165,000 viewers on twitch. So they definitely have figured it out drops is a big part

05:03:09.480 --> 05:03:16.280
of that though, real talk, but yeah. 90% decline from peak numbers. But here's not all what got

05:03:16.280 --> 05:03:21.560
right. It proved hero shooters could work at the highest level. It normalised ability-based

05:03:21.560 --> 05:03:27.560
FPS mechanics across the industry and it created genuinely incredible moments. Prokid's Genshin

05:03:27.560 --> 05:03:34.680
Blade on Dorado, London Spitfire's Championship run, Heinz Widow headshots, pure poor trivony work.

05:03:34.680 --> 05:03:41.440
The problem wasn't the game. It was trying to force lightning into a bottle made of corporate expectations.

05:03:41.440 --> 05:03:42.600
That's pretty fair.

05:03:42.600 --> 05:03:43.440
Level 5

05:03:43.440 --> 05:03:46.520
Not totally accurate with every all the details, but that was pretty fair overall.

05:03:46.520 --> 05:03:47.680
Rainbow Six Siege

05:03:47.680 --> 05:03:48.680
Alright, let's hear this one.

05:03:48.680 --> 05:03:59.760
If Call of Duty is competitive fast food, Rainbow Six Siege is a Michelin Star restaurant where the chef personally insults you if you can't appreciate the molecular gastronomy.

05:03:59.760 --> 05:04:04.880
This game doesn't just have a learning curve, it has a learning clip that most players fall off

05:04:04.880 --> 05:04:07.760
before they understand they're even climbing. But that's...

05:04:08.800 --> 05:04:09.840
Okay, that's kind of true.

05:04:09.840 --> 05:04:13.920
The brutal complexity is exactly why Siege works as a tier one esport.

05:04:13.920 --> 05:04:20.800
The six-invitational 2024 sold out a 10,000-seat Montreal Arena filled with fans who understood

05:04:20.800 --> 05:04:27.040
that watching Duel or execute a perfect run-out or G2's side-execute unfold is just as thrilling

05:04:27.040 --> 05:04:32.040
building a very no-stop montage. These aren't aim-views, they're tactical puzzles where

05:04:32.040 --> 05:04:37.040
one zone-spot or reinforcement placement can determine the entire round.

05:04:37.040 --> 05:04:44.040
Yes, but no. Like, okay. So, for those of you who don't know, I played Siege, but this

05:04:44.040 --> 05:04:50.040
was like the year one, like the first year of Siege, so it's a lot of changes then.

05:04:50.040 --> 05:04:55.040
Yes, like what walls you're enforcing, where you set up, what operators you pick, and how

05:04:55.040 --> 05:05:02.800
holding is definitely huge but that's very baseline like that's the start that's a starting line

05:05:03.600 --> 05:05:07.680
everything is beyond that like that was that during my time that was a big deal

05:05:07.680 --> 05:05:12.320
I don't think I bet that's probably not told I think it's probably way more complicated now and

05:05:12.320 --> 05:05:19.360
it's probably like gunplay is bigger rotation is bigger there's probably a lot more than just like

05:05:19.360 --> 05:05:21.040
What walls do you reinforce now?

05:05:21.040 --> 05:05:25.760
Invitational consistently pulls 300,000 concurrent viewers across platforms,

05:05:25.760 --> 05:05:29.280
with a $3 million prize-folded rival majors.

05:05:29.280 --> 05:05:35.520
The pro scene might not have CS's massive casual crossover or Valorant's corporate polish,

05:05:35.520 --> 05:05:40.560
but what it lacks in accessibility, it makes up for in pure competitive integrity.

05:05:40.560 --> 05:05:44.560
Every operator ban, every site fake, every utility troll matters.

05:05:44.560 --> 05:05:47.120
Siege has something most games never achieve.

05:05:47.120 --> 05:05:50.160
A community that genuinely respects the skill-sealing.

05:05:50.160 --> 05:05:55.360
Watch someone get demolished by pango or canadian and instead of complaining about rng they'll

05:05:55.360 --> 05:05:59.440
study the watch to understand the 4d chess move they just witnessed.

05:05:59.440 --> 05:06:05.440
The game- true because it actually is like you you have full control over the game right like

05:06:05.440 --> 05:06:09.920
there's no rng mechanics and it's like they hit the shots they hit the rotation you can really

05:06:09.920 --> 05:06:14.560
watch them doing it right like they threw a flashbang through a frag droned it out whatever so it's

05:06:14.560 --> 05:06:18.000
like much more receptable, right?

05:06:18.000 --> 05:06:19.560
So like Overwatch is a good example,

05:06:19.560 --> 05:06:21.840
where it's like, you feel like, oh, I can't do that

05:06:21.840 --> 05:06:24.000
because like, let's say you see some crazy tank player

05:06:24.000 --> 05:06:26.280
make a crazy play and it's like, well, I can't do that

05:06:26.280 --> 05:06:27.800
because my supports aren't that good.

05:06:27.800 --> 05:06:29.040
Like, I only reason he could do that

05:06:29.040 --> 05:06:30.680
is because his supports were so good.

05:06:30.680 --> 05:06:33.880
Some level, true, but the opposite side is true too.

05:06:33.880 --> 05:06:37.840
Like their team was so good that if he was doing that

05:06:37.840 --> 05:06:39.600
in your ranked game, he wouldn't even need the supports.

05:06:39.600 --> 05:06:40.720
He could do it normally, right?

05:06:40.720 --> 05:06:42.600
But like, people don't realize that.

05:06:42.600 --> 05:06:44.160
And so it's a lot harder to translate it.

05:06:44.160 --> 05:06:45.880
and so we will write it off immediately.

05:06:45.880 --> 05:06:48.240
And Siege though, you can see one person doing all these things.

05:06:48.240 --> 05:06:50.160
In the manner of intellectual respect,

05:06:50.160 --> 05:06:52.560
which is why it has been competitive legitimacy,

05:06:52.560 --> 05:06:54.840
that flashier titles still chase.

05:06:54.840 --> 05:06:57.280
Plus, let's be honest, there's deep satisfaction

05:06:57.280 --> 05:07:00.120
in watching streamers confidently loading to rent,

05:07:00.120 --> 05:07:02.080
thinking Siege looks easy,

05:07:02.080 --> 05:07:04.840
only to get absolutely dismantled by game sense

05:07:04.840 --> 05:07:06.440
that didn't even know existed.

05:07:07.360 --> 05:07:09.080
Level six, Valorant.

05:07:09.080 --> 05:07:10.120
Okay.

05:07:10.120 --> 05:07:12.000
Riot Games looked at counter strikes,

05:07:12.000 --> 05:07:13.840
20 year dominance and said,

05:07:13.840 --> 05:07:18.880
We can do that, but with a better infrastructure, international storylines, and abilities that

05:07:18.880 --> 05:07:19.880
actually matter.

05:07:19.880 --> 05:07:24.840
And you know what's infuriating, they were absolutely right about almost everything.

05:07:24.840 --> 05:07:29.360
Valorant Champions 2023, 1.4 million peak viewers.

05:07:29.360 --> 05:07:35.360
Istanbul Arena sold out in minutes, fanatic vs. EG Grand Finals that had more production

05:07:35.360 --> 05:07:38.040
value than some Olympic events.

05:07:38.040 --> 05:07:40.480
The VCT system creates genuine reach-

05:07:40.480 --> 05:07:44.480
I actually don't know a whole lot about Valorant's pro scene to be honest with you, but it always seemed well supported.

05:07:44.480 --> 05:07:50.480
In Vivalry's, NA vs EMEA isn't just marketing, it's built into the tournament's structure.

05:07:50.480 --> 05:07:55.480
Meanwhile, Counter-Site fans were still arguing about major formats from 2015.

05:07:55.480 --> 05:07:59.480
Here's what makes Valorant genuinely terrifying to other tactical shooters.

05:07:59.480 --> 05:08:01.480
Wireless Token CS's greatest weakness.

05:08:01.480 --> 05:08:06.480
Valve's hands-off approach and weaponized it into Valorant's greatest strength.

05:08:06.480 --> 05:08:09.480
Consistent updates, aggressive anti-cheat that actually works.

05:08:09.480 --> 05:08:14.980
That answer works, rank system that makes sense, tournament production that makes other esports

05:08:14.980 --> 05:08:15.980
look amateur.

05:08:15.980 --> 05:08:20.600
They didn't just copy Counter Strike, they improved on almost every aspect of the competitive

05:08:20.600 --> 05:08:21.760
experience.

05:08:21.760 --> 05:08:25.880
The abilities debate is what is so wise lower, gets spicy.

05:08:25.880 --> 05:08:26.880
C.S.

05:08:26.880 --> 05:08:32.500
Purists will die on the hill that jet dashes and omen smokes somehow reduce skill expression.

05:08:32.500 --> 05:08:37.860
But watch Aspas, Amp trifract or chronicle clutch impossible rounds and tell me abilities

05:08:37.860 --> 05:08:39.020
are crutches.

05:08:39.020 --> 05:08:44.300
The game demands everything CS requires, cross replacement, economy management, tactical

05:08:44.300 --> 05:08:49.700
awareness while adding another layer of utility mastery that separates good players from great

05:08:49.700 --> 05:08:50.700
ones.

05:08:50.700 --> 05:08:52.700
Is it as pure as Counter-Strike?

05:08:52.700 --> 05:08:54.860
It depends on your definition of purity.

05:08:54.860 --> 05:08:58.100
Is it building the more sustainable, competitive ecosystem?

05:08:58.100 --> 05:08:59.740
The numbers don't lie.

05:08:59.740 --> 05:09:04.540
Riot's international tournament structure, regional leagues and consistent content pipeline

05:09:04.540 --> 05:09:08.780
make VALAMENT the most professionally managed tactical shooter in existence.

05:09:08.780 --> 05:09:11.760
That's not just a good game design, it's a good business.

05:09:11.760 --> 05:09:16.020
The only real question is whether Valorant can maintain this momentum when the honeymoon

05:09:16.020 --> 05:09:17.020
period ends.

05:09:17.020 --> 05:09:18.020
What if-

05:09:18.020 --> 05:09:21.120
Well Valorant came out in 2020, it's been 6 years.

05:09:21.120 --> 05:09:23.300
I think we're well past the honeymoon.

05:09:23.300 --> 05:09:27.420
It's just really really good at being shiny and new.

05:09:27.420 --> 05:09:28.420
Level 7.

05:09:28.420 --> 05:09:33.300
Wait, that's the reasoning for why it's a level 6 instead of a level 7 is it has to

05:09:33.300 --> 05:09:34.460
go past the honeymoon?

05:09:34.460 --> 05:09:37.020
We're 6 years in, hello?

05:09:37.020 --> 05:09:38.620
We're well past it.

05:09:38.620 --> 05:09:42.780
Well, there was something about Overwatch beforehand, Overwatch crashed and burned within three.

05:09:42.780 --> 05:09:47.420
Actually, Overwatch League crashed and burned within two and a half, so like, we're well past that one.

05:09:47.420 --> 05:09:48.860
When the video came out eight months ago.

05:09:49.820 --> 05:09:52.460
It's eight months ago. We're well past it, so I don't know about that one.

05:09:52.460 --> 05:09:53.580
Counter-Strike.

05:09:53.580 --> 05:09:57.420
Yeah, okay, so like, this better be the craziest reasoning of all time because

05:09:58.300 --> 05:10:01.340
it's just basically so that everything they did better than this.

05:10:01.340 --> 05:10:05.340
They arrive at the final boss. Counter-Strike isn't just a game.

05:10:05.340 --> 05:10:10.220
It's a competitive religion that's been converting believers for over two decades.

05:10:10.220 --> 05:10:17.260
From 1.6's CPL tournaments to sources, Breathe Detour to global offensive major dominance,

05:10:17.260 --> 05:10:22.620
to CS2's walkie-rosselection, this franchise has survived engine changes,

05:10:22.620 --> 05:10:28.860
meta-evolutions, rostered dynasties, and countless CS killers that now popular gaming

05:10:28.860 --> 05:10:36.140
graveyards. The numbers are simply untouchable. CS2 launch pulled 1.8 million concurrent players.

05:10:36.140 --> 05:10:43.020
PGL Major Stockholm 2021 peaked at 2.7 million viewers across all platforms.

05:10:43.020 --> 05:10:50.780
And the Paris Major 2023 sold out Arena 9000 seats in under 20 minutes. This isn't regional success,

05:10:50.780 --> 05:10:54.060
this is global cultural dominance spanning literal decades.

05:10:54.060 --> 05:11:00.140
Yeah, don't get me wrong. CS has definitely got the biggest numbers. I mean, it's been around for like 20, 20 plus years, right?

05:11:02.100 --> 05:11:06.900
And I'm not trying to argue with that. Like it's probably well deserved, but that said though, like

05:11:07.660 --> 05:11:12.060
That's maybe part of the beauty of CS in a lot of ways where it doesn't update

05:11:12.060 --> 05:11:18.540
it's the same type of game every day and that was like what the standard was like most games that come out today are now on the

05:11:18.540 --> 05:11:22.260
Content treadmill. They have to keep up like they just release new stuff. That's that's what they're good at

05:11:22.260 --> 05:11:26.540
Right CS has never been that like since the beginning you always just knew what you were getting into

05:11:27.260 --> 05:11:32.540
And also like maybe I'm wrong on this, but I think CS is actually pretty easy to run like as a game, right?

05:11:32.540 --> 05:11:34.540
So like CS is a huge

05:11:34.940 --> 05:11:37.700
Global audience while like a lot of games are only really big

05:11:38.180 --> 05:11:41.700
In Europe America and maybe in Asia, right?

05:11:42.580 --> 05:11:50.140
Or sorry in Asia. I mean like Korea China, right? Like Russia has a huge population of players for CS like I don't know about

05:11:50.140 --> 05:11:55.820
like the Middle East and maybe like in Africa and South America South America probably was

05:11:55.820 --> 05:12:00.220
fucking crazy actually if I remember correctly so you can just play you can play CS on like a

05:12:00.220 --> 05:12:06.460
toilet you know and be good to go so maybe CS2 is a little bit tougher I don't know what the whole

05:12:06.460 --> 05:12:13.980
CS2 thing my no CS go ran exceptionally well so like I feel like that's kind of maybe their biggest

05:12:13.980 --> 05:12:19.580
advantage you know but statistics don't capture what makes Counter Strike truly special it's the

05:12:19.580 --> 05:12:22.180
The purest test of FPS skill that exists.

05:12:22.180 --> 05:12:28.380
No abilities to bail you out, no random environmental destruction, no hero swapped mid-round, no

05:12:28.380 --> 05:12:30.260
aim assist training wheels.

05:12:30.260 --> 05:12:36.300
Just positioning, raw mechanical aim, economy management and tactical execution refined

05:12:36.300 --> 05:12:39.580
over 20 plus years of competitive evolution.

05:12:39.580 --> 05:12:45.780
Just think about simples jumping double from cash, cold zero's mirage quad kill, devices

05:12:45.780 --> 05:12:48.340
timing, get wet clutches.

05:12:48.340 --> 05:12:52.220
These moments transcend gaming and become genuine sports history.

05:12:52.220 --> 05:12:57.940
The game creates legends, not just good players, Navi, Astralis, SK Gaming, Fnatic...

05:12:57.940 --> 05:13:01.740
So just because something's been around for a long time, does that make it the best?

05:13:01.740 --> 05:13:05.620
That's the question I want to pose, because like, now we're saying like, it's historically

05:13:05.620 --> 05:13:10.620
the best, because it has so many hype moments and right now, and it's like, absolutely,

05:13:10.620 --> 05:13:11.620
right?

05:13:11.620 --> 05:13:16.380
Like, but that's like saying Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is the best game of all time,

05:13:16.380 --> 05:13:20.460
it was arguably the most impactful Call of Duty. Everyone fucking played it. Everyone loved it.

05:13:20.460 --> 05:13:25.980
Like, I can, it's very hard to find someone on the planet who had a really bad time with Call of

05:13:25.980 --> 05:13:30.940
Duty monolover too, right? But like, does that make it the best game of all time? It created

05:13:30.940 --> 05:13:36.140
legends of cod? Like, no, I don't think it makes it the best game ever. You know, like, I think it's

05:13:36.140 --> 05:13:40.140
a great game. It was a great game for its time. I don't think it holds up anymore. I'm not saying

05:13:40.140 --> 05:13:43.980
CS is that, but like, I think it's a little bit of a different type of.

05:13:43.980 --> 05:13:49.980
NIP, these Orange's teams, they're dynasties with legitimate claim to the athletic greatness.

05:13:49.980 --> 05:13:56.220
Here's why CS has survived when every competitor has faltered. It respects its own fundamentals.

05:13:56.220 --> 05:14:03.260
Updates are incremental, not revolutionary. The core AK spray pattern hasn't changed since 1999,

05:14:03.260 --> 05:14:09.180
and that consistency is a feature, not a bug. Players can invest 10,000 hours into perfecting

05:14:09.180 --> 05:14:14.460
their craft without worrying that next month's patch will make their muscle memory obsolete.

05:14:14.460 --> 05:14:20.220
Even CS2's disastrous launch, broken hip-track, missing features, community revolt, couldn't kill

05:14:20.220 --> 05:14:26.140
the scene. The competitive ecosystem was so robust that players just adapted and kept grinding.

05:14:26.140 --> 05:14:28.540
Major- Oh yeah, I mean, I just saw quite a-

05:14:28.540 --> 05:14:34.060
Coney still sold out, pro-salary, state-stable, and Valve slowly fixed the issues while the

05:14:34.060 --> 05:14:38.380
scene proved its own resilience. That's the power of untouchable legacy.

05:14:38.380 --> 05:14:42.620
But I can tell you right now, that someone on the other side, I saw people bitching for months,

05:14:42.620 --> 05:14:45.340
and it wasn't like they weren't fucking crying and screaming and screaming in their pants,

05:14:45.340 --> 05:14:47.900
they hated it. You might still hate it.

05:14:47.900 --> 05:14:52.860
You can stumble without falling. Counter-Strike doesn't just sit at the top of competitive FPS.

05:14:52.860 --> 05:14:58.460
It is competitive FPS, the standard against which every other tactical shooter is measured

05:14:58.460 --> 05:14:59.500
and found wanting.

05:15:00.140 --> 05:15:03.580
I don't know, from the reasoning it sounds like Valorant should be number one.

05:15:03.580 --> 05:15:07.100
Watch out. Here's what separates the pretenders from the champions.

05:15:07.100 --> 05:15:12.700
Longevity built on competitive integrity, not marketing budgets, or viral moments.

05:15:12.700 --> 05:15:15.540
The games at the top didn't get there by accident.

05:15:15.540 --> 05:15:20.060
They earned their position by proving they can sustain professional ecosystems that

05:15:20.060 --> 05:15:25.740
outlast hardware generations, meta shifts, and changing social media algorithms.

05:15:25.740 --> 05:15:30.340
Counter-Strike dominates because it's proven it can evolve without losing its soul.

05:15:30.340 --> 05:15:36.020
The fundamentals that made 1.6 compelling still drive CS2's competitive scene.

05:15:36.020 --> 05:15:38.820
That's not stagnation, that's perfection of form.

05:15:38.820 --> 05:15:44.020
Valorant represents the hungry challenger with superior infrastructure, but shorter history.

05:15:44.020 --> 05:15:46.780
It's doing everything right from a business perspective.

05:15:46.780 --> 05:15:50.140
But business success doesn't automatically equal competitive legacy.

05:15:50.140 --> 05:15:51.420
Time will tell whether by-

05:15:51.420 --> 05:15:53.420
Well, depending on like- hang on, hang on.

05:15:53.420 --> 05:15:57.100
So, because it's older and more legacy, that means it's better?

05:15:57.100 --> 05:15:59.660
I don't- see, you can see that's where the logic falls apart.

05:15:59.660 --> 05:16:00.300
You know what I mean?

05:16:00.300 --> 05:16:03.180
Like, you can't say it's doing everything but better,

05:16:04.460 --> 05:16:08.620
or just as good if not better, but it just- it's not old enough so you can't win, haha.

05:16:09.180 --> 05:16:10.620
I just- that doesn't sound right.

05:16:10.620 --> 05:16:16.220
This corporate approach can generate the organic passion that keeps CS alive across decades.

05:16:16.220 --> 05:16:21.500
On the other hand, Siege carved out its tactical niche and owns it completely, building genuine

05:16:21.500 --> 05:16:26.220
competitive respect for pure complexity rather than accessibility. Overwatch proved that a

05:16:26.220 --> 05:16:30.220
corporate- Yeah, and having an opinion is totally fine. I'm just saying, I'm like, by the law of

05:16:30.220 --> 05:16:30.300
here.

05:16:30.300 --> 05:16:34.380
Money can't buy lasting years for the legitimacy. You need grassroots competitive-

05:16:34.380 --> 05:16:37.900
Okay, okay, okay, start to piss me off a little bit. The Overwatch thing, they weren't just trying

05:16:37.900 --> 05:16:42.380
to buy it. They did, that did happen, but that's not what killed it. Like, what killed it was the

05:16:42.380 --> 05:16:46.940
the greed of trying to get the money back from buying it. That's what happened, like

05:16:46.940 --> 05:16:52.740
realistically that's legitimately what happened. Also what happened was Bobby Connick and Jeff

05:16:52.740 --> 05:17:06.700
Kaplan were at odds and were fighting each other. That's also what happened. I think

05:17:06.700 --> 05:17:09.000
I don't think it's even a doubt.

05:17:09.000 --> 05:17:12.000
I think that Overwatch is mechanically,

05:17:12.000 --> 05:17:15.760
and just like to be the best, like champion one,

05:17:15.760 --> 05:17:18.080
arguably one of the hardest FPS games on the planet,

05:17:18.080 --> 05:17:19.360
if not the.

05:17:19.360 --> 05:17:21.880
I'm actually trying to think what would be harder.

05:17:21.880 --> 05:17:23.560
Like you can't just be,

05:17:23.560 --> 05:17:26.240
like you can learn an Overwatch right now with cheats.

05:17:26.240 --> 05:17:27.720
Like legitimately you can't miss a shot,

05:17:27.720 --> 05:17:29.680
and you can't, I bet you can't hit rank one.

05:17:29.680 --> 05:17:30.520
You would never do it.

05:17:30.520 --> 05:17:31.440
Even if the Overwatch team was like,

05:17:31.440 --> 05:17:33.440
yeah sure, keep your cheats, you wouldn't do it.

05:17:33.440 --> 05:17:34.400
You wouldn't get there.

05:17:34.400 --> 05:17:35.360
You literally could.

05:17:35.360 --> 05:17:37.080
Maybe you're convinced that Halo's force is...

05:17:37.080 --> 05:17:39.120
You could literally not as a single shot, you still wouldn't get there.

05:17:39.120 --> 05:17:40.320
Like as you should carry more...

05:17:40.320 --> 05:17:41.880
You have walls, you still wouldn't get there.

05:17:41.880 --> 05:17:43.200
...than the current numbers.

05:17:43.200 --> 05:17:44.720
So here is my challenge.

05:17:44.720 --> 05:17:45.520
Ranked it is...

05:17:45.520 --> 05:17:46.920
Rock-a-league?

05:17:46.920 --> 05:17:48.360
Rock-a-league's not an FPS.

05:17:49.680 --> 05:17:51.040
Seven games yourself.

05:17:51.040 --> 05:17:54.760
But defend your rankings with more than nostalgia and visual thinking.

05:17:54.760 --> 05:17:56.520
Consider competitive integrity,

05:17:56.520 --> 05:17:57.240
kill scenes,

05:17:57.240 --> 05:17:58.520
eubing experience,

05:17:58.520 --> 05:18:01.360
professional sustainability and cultural impact.

05:18:01.360 --> 05:18:03.800
Factor in whether your favorite game will still have

05:18:03.800 --> 05:18:10.080
driving scene in five years, or if it'll be a footnote in some future, remember when article.

05:18:10.080 --> 05:18:14.200
The comment section is waiting. Let's see what you've got. And remember, passionate

05:18:14.200 --> 05:18:17.720
disagreement is the highest form of competitive respect.

05:18:17.720 --> 05:18:21.800
That's true. Okay, I kind of, I kind of, that's actually kind of a based, based ending. Like,

05:18:21.800 --> 05:18:25.440
yeah, obviously everyone's allowed to have their own opinion. Like I personally think

05:18:25.440 --> 05:18:30.080
that I'll watch as a little low, although understandable from making this video perspective,

05:18:30.080 --> 05:18:33.300
having all the details perfectly, but also things

05:18:33.300 --> 05:18:37.160
have changed in the last two years a lot.

05:18:37.160 --> 05:18:46.560
Also, that said, I think that 6 and 7 with Valorant and CS

05:18:46.560 --> 05:18:47.960
probably are a little bit shaky as well.

05:18:47.960 --> 05:18:50.040
But you know what, honestly, outside of the bias,

05:18:50.040 --> 05:18:52.040
that was actually a pretty good video.

05:18:52.040 --> 05:18:53.640
That was pretty good.

05:18:53.640 --> 05:18:56.720
Obviously, very clearly more of a Valorant attack shooter

05:18:56.720 --> 05:19:01.240
bias than the other games, because they don't totally know.

05:19:04.000 --> 05:19:07.800
So, yeah, that was pretty good.

05:19:22.240 --> 05:19:24.440
Okay, cool.

05:19:24.440 --> 05:19:26.180
Alright, what else do we got?

05:19:26.180 --> 05:19:28.180
Any other good vids in here?

05:19:31.180 --> 05:19:33.180
Let me take a look.

05:19:40.680 --> 05:19:42.680
Well, I've gotten linked this one a bunch of times.

05:19:42.680 --> 05:19:44.680
It's an hour long though.

05:19:54.440 --> 05:19:59.440
This was this one. It's an hour long. Do I really want to come in an hour to this?

05:20:11.440 --> 05:20:13.440
Let me see.

05:20:17.440 --> 05:20:20.440
Let me see if we got anything else in here that's interesting.

05:20:20.440 --> 05:20:25.960
What's this one?

05:20:25.960 --> 05:20:28.160
It's Kelski Vid.

05:20:28.160 --> 05:20:34.000
Oh, that's a good looking one.

05:20:34.000 --> 05:20:43.560
That's a very good looking one.

05:20:43.560 --> 05:20:45.560
What else?

05:20:45.560 --> 05:21:05.280
If you want to know what I'm looking at, there's a flat, it's shown on my Discord called

05:21:05.280 --> 05:21:06.280
Flats for Acts.

05:21:06.280 --> 05:21:07.920
That's what I'm scrolling through right now.

05:21:07.920 --> 05:21:31.920
Let's look at the videos you guys have been submitting.

05:21:31.920 --> 05:21:53.360
this one. No. Okay, just for the thumbnail one, I clicked on it. So in company decisions

05:21:53.360 --> 05:21:58.000
the backfired horribly. The thumbnail of this one is the, do you not have phones?

05:22:05.600 --> 05:22:06.600
What else have we got?

05:22:12.320 --> 05:22:17.760
Oh yeah, I had this one saved. Oh, this one, this one I had saved actually.

05:22:17.760 --> 05:22:21.560
I forgot it's still in here. This video is different at 360p.

05:22:23.360 --> 05:22:31.360
Wait, I'm actually kind of interested in this one, but I'm worried about the flickering.

05:22:31.360 --> 05:22:36.480
Hey, I'm going to go to the bathroom real quick.

05:22:36.480 --> 05:22:37.480
I'll be back in one second, okay?

05:22:37.480 --> 05:22:37.980
You're back.

05:22:53.360 --> 05:22:55.420
you

05:23:53.360 --> 05:24:01.480
Alright, dude you guys have linked this to me so many times I forgot that I had it so

05:24:01.480 --> 05:24:02.740
I'm going to watch it now.

05:24:02.740 --> 05:24:06.960
This video is different at 360p, so should I go with 360p now or just let it run?

05:24:06.960 --> 05:24:12.200
Let's let it run at first, see what happens.

05:24:12.200 --> 05:24:21.760
This is the quality at which you are currently watching this video.

05:24:21.760 --> 05:24:25.200
Or at least on a p- Lower.

05:24:25.200 --> 05:24:28.720
Approximation.

05:24:28.720 --> 05:24:34.360
If lower?

05:24:34.360 --> 05:24:38.080
Lower?

05:24:38.080 --> 05:24:39.080
Lower?

05:24:39.080 --> 05:24:44.440
Wait, this is lower, doesn't it?

05:24:44.440 --> 05:24:45.440
What?

05:24:45.440 --> 05:24:54.040
If you're seeing the text 1080p, then you might be watching at either 720p, or indeed 1080p, depending on whether the text is striped.

05:24:54.040 --> 05:24:59.640
But if you instead see the word lower, then you're likely watching this at one of the lower resolutions.

05:24:59.640 --> 05:25:05.840
And if you check the timeline near the current part of the video, you should see an entirely different bit of text.

05:25:05.840 --> 05:25:07.040
Now, depending on the device...

05:25:09.540 --> 05:25:11.040
Subscribe?

05:25:15.440 --> 05:25:19.440
I still say subscribe.

05:25:19.440 --> 05:25:23.440
What?

05:25:23.440 --> 05:25:27.440
What?

05:25:27.440 --> 05:25:28.440
What?

05:25:28.440 --> 05:25:32.380
The vice you're using and the properties of your display, some of these effects might

05:25:32.380 --> 05:25:34.260
not be as clear as the rest.

05:25:34.260 --> 05:25:38.040
And if you're watching this well into the future, some of the tricks used here might

05:25:38.040 --> 05:25:40.740
be broken for one reason or another.

05:25:40.740 --> 05:25:45.700
So let's not waste time with crude demonstrations and instead take a look at how all of this

05:25:45.700 --> 05:25:47.700
works in the first place.

05:25:47.700 --> 05:25:52.100
We'll start by taking a look at YouTube's list of quality settings.

05:25:52.100 --> 05:25:57.740
Each entry is named after its resolution, but for 720 and 1080p there's an additional

05:25:57.740 --> 05:25:59.300
number showing the framerate.

05:25:59.300 --> 05:26:04.260
For all of the other entries, their framerate is half of the maximum, which in this case

05:26:04.260 --> 05:26:05.260
is 30.

05:26:05.260 --> 05:26:08.780
In case you don't know what these terms mean, here's a quick refresher.

05:26:08.780 --> 05:26:15.120
The resolution represents the amount of pixels on the screen, while the framerate represents the amount of times...

05:26:15.120 --> 05:26:20.580
Sorry, I know it's framerate. I mean, bandwidth that's why they're on the lower one, so that you can watch videos in case your internet sucks.

05:26:20.580 --> 05:26:31.540
Of course, this isn't entirely accurate due to factors like bitrate and refresh rate, but in general, resolution refers to image quality, while framerate refers to smoothness of motion.

05:26:31.540 --> 05:26:36.780
Now, remember, our goal is to make one video file show something different based...

05:26:36.780 --> 05:26:42.380
This is going to be 60 for framerate and 30 for the other one, and then that's how they're different.

05:26:42.380 --> 05:26:45.380
These two factors are pretty much the only way to distinguish that.

05:26:45.380 --> 05:26:50.180
More specifically, the video file gets uploaded to YouTube at the highest possible quality,

05:26:50.180 --> 05:26:53.180
and gets compressed the further down you go.

05:26:53.180 --> 05:26:56.680
Normally, video compression removes detail from the video,

05:26:56.680 --> 05:27:03.980
but our goal is to somehow make it so that new information is added when the quality is reduced.

05:27:03.980 --> 05:27:08.140
To get an idea for how something like this could work, let's look at the simplest example,

05:27:08.140 --> 05:27:10.300
which focuses on just the frame rate for now.

05:27:10.300 --> 05:27:15.340
That means you have to like put like some like less frames, like a couple frames here and there, right?

05:27:15.340 --> 05:27:19.740
Of that of that image so that way we can see it, right?

05:27:19.740 --> 05:27:22.140
A clip that started at 60 frames per second

05:27:22.140 --> 05:27:23.580
Right, 60 FPS is too fast.

05:27:23.580 --> 05:27:25.900
...just 30 at lower quality settings.

05:27:25.900 --> 05:27:29.500
YouTube does this by simply dropping every other frame.

05:27:29.500 --> 05:27:32.860
Normally this just means that the video playback gets a bit choppier.

05:27:32.860 --> 05:27:37.020
But what if we stored our video in only the dropped frames?

05:27:37.020 --> 05:27:42.620
This way, at 60fps, you can still see the original clip, albeit with some flickering,

05:27:42.620 --> 05:27:46.060
while at 30fps, it disappears entirely.

05:27:46.060 --> 05:27:47.260
I've- what?

05:27:47.260 --> 05:27:48.540
How did you figure out, though?

05:27:48.540 --> 05:27:53.100
Hitting a video file with such specific conditions is a move not a straightforward process.

05:27:53.100 --> 05:27:57.260
After all, if I were to simply weave together individual frames in a video editor,

05:27:57.260 --> 05:28:01.100
it would take me hours to cover just a minute of footage.

05:28:01.100 --> 05:28:01.500
Naturally.

05:28:01.500 --> 05:28:04.620
Wait, do you think it's still, right now, gonna look different?

05:28:06.780 --> 05:28:09.180
The solution was to write some code.

05:28:09.180 --> 05:28:13.020
In this case, that's a Python script that takes two images as an input

05:28:13.020 --> 05:28:16.140
and produces an interleaved video as the output.

05:28:16.140 --> 05:28:19.340
Scripts like these were very important throughout this project.

05:28:19.340 --> 05:28:22.620
And frankly, every other project on this channel has relied...

05:28:23.820 --> 05:28:26.140
Dude, for half a second, I thought this was Marbler.

05:28:26.140 --> 05:28:28.700
Well, with like a voice changer now, because I've seen...

05:28:28.700 --> 05:28:29.740
He had so many videos that looked just like this.

05:28:29.740 --> 05:28:37.140
It has marbler uploaded in a while dude. I miss that which is something that you too can master with the sponsor of this video

05:28:37.940 --> 05:28:40.340
Okay, w-spawn sir. I want to skip ahead

05:28:41.220 --> 05:28:49.660
It's serious or the QR code on screen percent all of this impossible an idea of how something like this is even possible in the first place

05:28:49.700 --> 05:28:53.180
But it doesn't quite get us to the solution just yet

05:28:53.180 --> 05:28:58.700
If all we're doing is interleaving frames then not only does the flicker get kind of annoying

05:28:58.700 --> 05:29:03.580
but it also doesn't explain how we get a custom message at 30 FPS.

05:29:03.580 --> 05:29:06.620
So they had to insert, you know, insert frames then.

05:29:06.620 --> 05:29:08.940
If we tried drawing something on those other frames,

05:29:08.940 --> 05:29:13.340
the 60 FPS playback would now blend and blur the two shapes to get that.

05:29:13.340 --> 05:29:14.300
Oh, well, I guess not.

05:29:14.300 --> 05:29:18.780
We could try to work around this by subtracting the unwanted frame from the desired output,

05:29:18.780 --> 05:29:23.260
creating a sort of optical illusion that cancels out certain parts of the image.

05:29:23.260 --> 05:29:25.900
But this makes the flicker even worse.

05:29:25.900 --> 05:29:26.460
Yeah, okay.

05:29:26.460 --> 05:29:30.340
Video at any point could expose the image that we're trying to hide

05:29:30.860 --> 05:29:37.300
So clearly this isn't the full solution and okay act as we go back to the demonstration at the beginning of the video

05:29:37.300 --> 05:29:42.540
And step through it frame by frame you'll notice that there's definitely a lot more going on

05:29:43.180 --> 05:29:45.180
especially at 1080p

05:29:46.020 --> 05:29:48.020
2524

05:29:48.580 --> 05:29:52.020
First seeing the text 1080p. Wait, hang on. What's the frame button is this one?

05:29:52.020 --> 05:29:58.260
Oh, I can see the lower.

05:29:58.260 --> 05:30:03.660
Oh, did it like, do they intentionally blur it?

05:30:03.660 --> 05:30:04.660
Also, what time was I at?

05:30:04.660 --> 05:30:05.660
Oh, fuck, I don't remember.

05:30:05.660 --> 05:30:07.340
It was like 5.20, right?

05:30:07.340 --> 05:30:12.140
Through it, frame by frame, you'll notice that there's definitely a lot more going on,

05:30:12.140 --> 05:30:14.420
especially at 1080p.

05:30:14.420 --> 05:30:21.220
To understand this, we'll have to take a look at the other factor, that is resolution.

05:30:21.220 --> 05:30:27.220
A feeling down a video might seem like a fairly simple task, just to boost the amount of pixels in the frame.

05:30:27.220 --> 05:30:31.720
But what's not so simple is figuring out which pixels to keep.

05:30:31.720 --> 05:30:39.220
If you're going from 1920 by 1080 to 640 by 360, then that's 3 times fewer pixels per axis.

05:30:39.220 --> 05:30:41.220
Or 9 times fewer total.

05:30:41.220 --> 05:30:46.720
This means that a 3 by 3 grid of pixels would get condensed down to just one pixel.

05:30:46.720 --> 05:30:51.280
You could do this by arbitrarily picking one of the pixels in the grid and drawing that,

05:30:51.280 --> 05:30:56.400
but then you're effectively discarding most of the information, which might misrepresent

05:30:56.400 --> 05:31:02.640
the actual contents of that area. Instead, the most common way to do this is to average the color

05:31:02.640 --> 05:31:07.600
value of the whole area. This seems to be the approach that YouTube uses, and it's often the

05:31:07.600 --> 05:31:14.640
best balance between speed and practice. Regardless of how you do it, this is a destructive process

05:31:14.640 --> 05:31:21.920
with an unavoidable caveat, one output can have multiple inputs. For example, a perfectly

05:31:21.920 --> 05:31:27.200
monotone kernel will obviously come out to a pixel of the same color, but a noisier area

05:31:27.200 --> 05:31:32.640
with a distinguishable pattern could still average out to that same color. Mathematically,

05:31:32.640 --> 05:31:38.320
this makes sense, but if you surround the noisy pattern with a solid background, then even though

05:31:38.320 --> 05:31:44.000
they average to the same color, you can clearly spot the pattern at full resolution. It's also

05:31:44.000 --> 05:31:47.480
Also worth noting that some patterns are more visible than others.

05:31:47.480 --> 05:31:51.920
A checkerboard or grid might feel very noisy and contrasting close up.

05:31:51.920 --> 05:31:55.920
But when you zoom out, your eyes start to blur it together.

05:31:55.920 --> 05:32:02.400
However, regular patterns like straight lines are easier to see, even at small scales, because

05:32:02.400 --> 05:32:06.680
your brain is less likely to filter that information as noise.

05:32:06.680 --> 05:32:10.960
And the choice between horizontal and vertical lines also matters.

05:32:10.960 --> 05:32:15.880
On certain displays, changes in viewing angle can impact which pixels you see.

05:32:15.880 --> 05:32:20.720
This effect is most noticeable if the offset axis is perpendicular to the lines.

05:32:20.720 --> 05:32:29.000
In other words, horizontal lines permit vertical view offset.

05:32:29.000 --> 05:32:32.720
I figured that it's probably far less likely that you're watching this with your screen

05:32:32.720 --> 05:32:34.040
turned to the side.

05:32:34.040 --> 05:32:37.040
Unless there are multiple people sat around the same screen but...

05:32:37.540 --> 05:32:38.540
745.

05:32:44.040 --> 05:32:45.540
Nope, looks the same to me.

05:32:48.540 --> 05:32:51.040
You're watching this with your screen turned to the side.

05:32:51.040 --> 05:32:55.540
Unless there are multiple people sat around the same screen but I'll take my chances.

05:32:55.540 --> 05:33:03.340
It is far more likely, however, that you're watching this on a phone, a laptop, or a TV that isn't exactly eye level.

05:33:03.340 --> 05:33:06.860
And because of this, I chose the vertical stripe pattern.

05:33:07.980 --> 05:33:12.780
So then, to draw an image using this trick, we can take a mask of the intended shape and

05:33:12.780 --> 05:33:18.300
use it as a reference for the placement of the 3x3 kernels. So again, if you're watching this at

05:33:18.300 --> 05:33:23.820
anything other than 1080p, then the pattern probably just disappeared. But if you are watching a

05:33:27.420 --> 05:33:32.940
1080p, then you should see a reasonably clear image of that same mask.

05:33:33.340 --> 05:33:39.660
Now, 3 pixels is actually a very small quantity, and it's possible that even if you're watching

05:33:39.660 --> 05:33:44.620
this at 1080p, other factors like the size of your browser window, or the orientation

05:33:44.620 --> 05:33:49.860
of your phone, or even the settings on your TV might impact the visibility of the proper

05:33:49.860 --> 05:33:50.860
camera.

05:33:50.860 --> 05:33:55.580
Well just that, I decided to combine this trick with the previously mentioned frame interleaving

05:33:55.580 --> 05:34:02.720
trick, placing the original mask on every odd frame to make it show up only at 60fps.

05:34:02.720 --> 05:34:04.440
This also reduces the flick...

05:34:04.440 --> 05:34:08.480
Oh my god, you do the opposite, so the removed frames is where you put...

05:34:08.480 --> 05:34:09.480
Kerr, because 1080...

05:34:09.480 --> 05:34:12.800
This tiny part of the image is always visible.

05:34:12.800 --> 05:34:18.820
But it still doesn't solve our earlier problem of getting an image to show up exclusively

05:34:18.820 --> 05:34:21.080
for lower resolutions.

05:34:21.080 --> 05:34:26.200
Right now, we can get a pattern to show up for 1080p, but at any other resolution, nothing

05:34:26.200 --> 05:34:27.200
shows up.

05:34:27.200 --> 05:34:28.200
Maybe it's like every other...

05:34:28.200 --> 05:34:31.360
Which because, again, downscaling is a destructive process.

05:34:31.360 --> 05:34:37.600
actively losing information at lower settings. So to make a custom image show up at a lower quality,

05:34:37.600 --> 05:34:43.280
we'd have to find a way to somehow reveal new patterns by dropping information.

05:34:43.280 --> 05:34:48.000
At first, I tried creating a field of high contrast white noise, where some kernels

05:34:48.000 --> 05:34:53.360
contained one white pixel more than the rest. The idea was that when this is scaled down,

05:34:53.360 --> 05:34:59.280
the noise would average out, and the result would be a clean image. And while yes, that did work,

05:34:59.280 --> 05:35:06.240
you can also clearly see the pattern at 1080p. The grain is just very good at finding such patterns,

05:35:06.240 --> 05:35:11.920
even though the difference is just one pixel per kernel. So, okay, let's take a step back and

05:35:11.920 --> 05:35:18.560
approach the problem from a different angle. What characteristics are unique to low-quality images?

05:35:18.560 --> 05:35:22.160
Sure, you can talk about pixel counter yet not, but more generally,

05:35:22.160 --> 05:35:27.280
high-quality images are sharper than their low-quality counterparts. You can express this

05:35:27.280 --> 05:35:33.800
more formally as the frequency of details decreasing as you go down. For example, think

05:35:33.800 --> 05:35:37.980
back to the times that you've seen a weird looking cloud in the sky and thought, hey,

05:35:37.980 --> 05:35:41.160
if I squint hard- This is the kind of stuff I watch at 4am when I have to heat it up in

05:35:41.160 --> 05:35:42.160
three hours.

05:35:42.160 --> 05:35:48.040
It kind of looks like a puppy. And if you only had the blurred version of that picture,

05:35:48.040 --> 05:35:53.100
you might as well associate that with a child's painting of a dog, whereas at full quality,

05:35:53.100 --> 05:35:55.600
It's obvious that these are clouds.

05:35:55.600 --> 05:36:00.660
The point is, that is an example of a case where lower image quality actually reveals

05:36:00.660 --> 05:36:01.660
more information.

05:36:01.660 --> 05:36:06.740
Applying this to our problem, you can imagine that if our pattern had some blurry text in

05:36:06.740 --> 05:36:10.900
the background, it would be harder to make it out than the much more clearly visible

05:36:10.900 --> 05:36:12.620
foreground pattern.

05:36:12.620 --> 05:36:17.420
And the brain is lazy, so it'll almost always choose to interpret the thing that it sees

05:36:17.420 --> 05:36:18.420
first.

05:36:18.420 --> 05:36:23.940
But, if you remove the high-frequency foreground pattern, it has no choice but to focus on

05:36:23.940 --> 05:36:26.020
the low-frequency background.

05:36:26.020 --> 05:36:30.900
Of course, this optical illusion isn't as strong as the rest, so you do have to be

05:36:30.900 --> 05:36:33.140
a bit clever in how you use it.

05:36:33.140 --> 05:36:38.020
The word lower was chosen deliberately, because it aligns perfectly with the characters in

05:36:38.020 --> 05:36:39.500
the foreground text.

05:36:39.500 --> 05:36:43.180
L is very similar in shape to 1, just with an extra leg.

05:36:43.180 --> 05:36:47.300
O is the same shape as 0, W fits in the lower half of the 8.

05:36:47.300 --> 05:36:55.000
E can be rounded down to fit mostly within the second zero, and R is again the same shape as P, just with an extra leg.

05:36:55.000 --> 05:37:01.800
When layered on top of the line pattern on only even frames, it becomes nearly invisible at 1080p,

05:37:01.800 --> 05:37:07.100
but at 360p, it is the only visible thing remaining.

05:37:07.100 --> 05:37:14.500
Now, all that's left to discuss is how I got the timeline to show something that's completely different from any screen in the video.

05:37:14.500 --> 05:37:19.500
While the techniques we've talked about so far have been rooted in optical illusions and steganography,

05:37:19.500 --> 05:37:24.500
this next part involves an exploit hidden in the video file itself.

05:37:24.500 --> 05:37:33.500
You see, while putting together this video, I ran a lot of tests on an alt-account to determine how exactly YouTube handles different kinds of video files.

05:37:33.500 --> 05:37:36.500
Specifically, I was looking for a way to make the 60 and 30-

05:37:36.500 --> 05:37:40.500
Like as a content creator, you have to do this if you want a thumbnail on YouTube Shorts?

05:37:40.500 --> 05:37:43.500
Yes, yes, streams capture a completely different set of frames.

05:37:43.500 --> 05:37:49.500
frames. For example, if you uploaded a 90 FPS video, there would technically be enough room to

05:37:49.500 --> 05:37:56.940
assemble two distinct 60 and 30 FPS clips with no overlap. So, I was basically hoping to find some

05:37:56.940 --> 05:38:03.100
way to trick YouTube into doing this. Unfortunately, what I found indicates that YouTube first

05:38:03.100 --> 05:38:09.420
transcodes the video to 60 FPS or below, and then takes every other frame from the result of that.

05:38:09.420 --> 05:38:15.080
This guarantees that the low-quality and high-quality video streams both contain the same content.

05:38:15.080 --> 05:38:22.000
And it's also probably much cheaper for YouTube to reprocess their compressed version instead of the original material.

05:38:22.000 --> 05:38:27.420
But there is one place where they do seem to be using the original clip.

05:38:27.420 --> 05:38:29.340
The timeline.

05:38:29.340 --> 05:38:34.380
You see, the average MP4 file doesn't just contain screenshots of every video frame.

05:38:34.380 --> 05:38:36.780
No, that would take up far too much space.

05:38:36.780 --> 05:38:41.180
So, instead, videos consist of three types of frames.

05:38:41.180 --> 05:38:44.540
Eye frames, B frames, and B frames.

05:38:44.540 --> 05:38:46.540
I thought eye frames was only a video game thing.

05:38:46.540 --> 05:38:47.660
I did not know that was an actual...

05:38:47.660 --> 05:38:50.780
Eye frames are traditionally considered a full frame, or a key frame.

05:38:50.780 --> 05:38:54.060
They contain full image data for the entire screen,

05:38:54.060 --> 05:38:55.180
and are best-of-all used in video editing, too.

05:38:55.180 --> 05:38:55.980
I did not know that was a thing in video editing, too.

05:38:55.980 --> 05:38:57.660
...type that in the average video file.

05:38:57.660 --> 05:39:02.700
B frames, on the other hand, contain only the differences from the last frame.

05:39:02.700 --> 05:39:05.180
This naturally enables far better compression,

05:39:05.180 --> 05:39:08.060
but also means that they cannot stand on their own.

05:39:08.060 --> 05:39:13.820
And finally, B-frames can contain information from both past and future frames.

05:39:13.820 --> 05:39:17.980
These compress even better, but are a lot more complicated to decode.

05:39:17.980 --> 05:39:20.460
If you're a YouTube engineer looking to extract a re-

05:39:20.460 --> 05:39:21.660
That made all the sense to me, I understand that.

05:39:21.660 --> 05:39:24.700
A result of Timeline Preview as cheaply as possible,

05:39:24.700 --> 05:39:31.180
it might be tempting to simply extract the iframes without doing any actual video processing.

05:39:31.180 --> 05:39:34.780
But you also shouldn't trust these iframes fully.

05:39:34.780 --> 05:39:40.460
It is entirely possible to create a video that consists of just B-frames, with only a single

05:39:40.460 --> 05:39:46.140
iFrame at the very beginning. So if it seems like the iFrames are particularly unreasonable,

05:39:46.140 --> 05:39:51.500
it makes sense to re-encode the video first. Of course, I can't know for certain that this

05:39:51.500 --> 05:39:56.940
is the process that YouTube uses, but my testing indicates that it's likely pretty close.

05:39:56.940 --> 05:40:03.580
So, as you might suspect, the key to exploiting this is to maybe create a unique

05:40:03.580 --> 05:40:06.500
I frames among I guess that's not a question for me. That's a question for you

05:40:06.500 --> 05:40:13.200
There are going to be dropped when it gets re-encoded to 60 FPS if the new iFrames are sensible enough

05:40:13.420 --> 05:40:19.880
YouTube may choose to extract them directly before they get completely removed from the final video

05:40:20.420 --> 05:40:22.940
Now if I make this boss a sound fragile

05:40:23.020 --> 05:40:27.120
Well, that's because it is if any of these tricks fails over time

05:40:27.120 --> 05:40:32.860
I'm willing to bet that this will be the first one to go all it takes is for YouTube to really shit

05:40:32.860 --> 05:40:39.260
So go from 120, so because you start at 120, YouTube will drop it to 60, so that's what

05:40:39.260 --> 05:40:42.940
you put the subscribe message, and then you take the 60 and you drop it to 30 and that's

05:40:42.940 --> 05:40:44.300
how you get the, oh my god wait.

05:40:44.300 --> 05:40:45.300
No one.

05:40:45.300 --> 05:40:48.260
You just use the YouTube's built-in editing tool might ruin it.

05:40:48.260 --> 05:40:52.140
So here's hoping I don't have to blur or cut anything out of this video.

05:40:52.140 --> 05:40:56.580
Anyway, now you know how I set up that demonstration at the beginning.

05:40:56.580 --> 05:41:00.220
But to be clear, this isn't the only way to do it.

05:41:00.220 --> 05:41:06.740
Technically there is a way to show two completely different video streams, but it comes with a few caveats

05:41:07.000 --> 05:41:10.000
Let's come back to that frame interleaving method from earlier

05:41:10.000 --> 05:41:15.760
The problem with this one was that the 60 FPS stream would invariably contain frames from both clips

05:41:16.360 --> 05:41:24.800
However, assuming a 60 hertz display, the viewer can choose to filter out half of the frames by doubling the playback speed

05:41:25.000 --> 05:41:26.200
But there are-

05:41:26.200 --> 05:41:27.200
I hadn't thought to try that.

05:41:27.200 --> 05:41:28.620
two major issues with this.

05:41:28.620 --> 05:41:33.100
First, that 60Hz clause is a pretty big assumption.

05:41:33.100 --> 05:41:37.700
Many of you are likely watching this on way faster displays, doubling the playback rate

05:41:37.700 --> 05:41:40.180
wouldn't change which frames you see.

05:41:40.180 --> 05:41:45.180
But perhaps more importantly, it also doesn't actually remove any frames from the video.

05:41:45.180 --> 05:41:48.700
All it does is simply doubles the time step between frames.

05:41:48.700 --> 05:41:52.980
So not only is it impossible to guarantee that you're starting on the correct frame,

05:41:52.980 --> 05:41:58.100
It's also possible for the time step to desync if the playback covers stutters, thus randomly

05:41:58.100 --> 05:42:00.100
changing which clip you see.

05:42:00.100 --> 05:42:02.380
Here, I'll let you see for yourself.

05:42:02.380 --> 05:42:07.060
In just a moment, if you're watching at 30 FPS, you'll see a 30-second speedrun of the

05:42:07.060 --> 05:42:10.100
map ceiling-cadipled from Portal 2.

05:42:10.100 --> 05:42:15.740
But if you're watching at 60 FPS and 60 Hz at 2x playback rate, you might see the same

05:42:15.740 --> 05:42:21.300
run sped up, or you might see a 15-second run of pit flings, or some combination of the

05:42:21.300 --> 05:42:22.300
two.

05:42:22.300 --> 05:42:26.840
If you're watching at any other configuration, you'll likely see a flickering mess.

05:42:27.240 --> 05:42:28.100
You've been warned.

05:42:28.380 --> 05:42:30.320
Wait, do you guys see the flickering mess on the right?

05:42:31.180 --> 05:42:32.680
Just curious, because I saw that.

05:42:34.680 --> 05:42:36.240
Do you guys see this over here?

05:42:36.960 --> 05:42:39.560
And if you're watching at any other, does anyone not see it?

05:42:39.600 --> 05:42:40.680
You'll likely see a.

05:42:40.960 --> 05:42:42.840
Does anyone not see the flickering mess on the side?

05:42:44.960 --> 05:42:45.760
He hasn't done it yet.

05:42:45.960 --> 05:42:47.640
Oh, oh, it's just the demo.

05:42:47.680 --> 05:42:48.040
Okay.

05:42:48.040 --> 05:42:52.200
All right, I'm gonna say, wait, there's no way.

05:42:54.960 --> 05:42:57.160
OK, I really love.

05:42:59.880 --> 05:43:02.800
OK, flickering mass, you've been warned.

05:43:03.240 --> 05:43:05.400
OK, hang on, seizure warning.

05:43:05.400 --> 05:43:07.800
If you're sensitive to flashing lights,

05:43:07.840 --> 05:43:10.400
you probably should not see this part.

05:43:10.400 --> 05:43:12.440
OK, just a warning.

05:43:12.440 --> 05:43:24.440
Ah! Ah! Ah! I see like seven things! What do you guys see? What the fuck do you guys

05:43:24.440 --> 05:43:39.440
see? Ah! I'm seeing so many things at once! I feel like I'm looking into the future! I

05:43:39.440 --> 05:43:41.760
I see like 4 different videos at the same time!

05:43:48.260 --> 05:43:50.360
Thanks to Burger40 for the gameplay clips.

05:43:50.360 --> 05:43:52.860
Now, obviously, this approach is a lot...

05:43:52.860 --> 05:43:56.100
Wait, if I watch on like my phone or something, do you think I'd see the same thing?

05:43:57.100 --> 05:44:00.100
...closer to what you might expect from this kind of project.

05:44:00.100 --> 05:44:02.940
But the general inconsistency and hardware...

05:44:03.900 --> 05:44:05.400
You put it at 2x speed just for the test?

05:44:05.400 --> 05:44:07.500
Okay, here we go again, one more time chat, okay?

05:44:07.500 --> 05:44:09.340
It's gonna be... it's gonna be flickery, I think.

05:44:09.440 --> 05:44:21.520
Okay, I'm gonna get I'm gonna get an actual fucking headache if I

05:44:24.160 --> 05:44:26.160
Let's go back

05:44:27.960 --> 05:44:33.260
Thanks to burger 40 for the gameplay clips. I'm on a phone and my TV. It's the same yours TV could be 120 Hertz though

05:44:33.260 --> 05:44:34.880
I guess

05:44:34.880 --> 05:44:37.520
Change the frame rate it is it's on 60

05:44:39.440 --> 05:44:44.560
Now, obviously, this approach is a lot closer to what you might expect from this kind of project.

05:44:44.560 --> 05:44:47.760
It's so smooth on 360? Hold on, let me go to 360, actually.

05:44:50.080 --> 05:44:51.040
Good call.

05:44:53.840 --> 05:44:55.600
Oh my god, guys.

05:45:00.800 --> 05:45:02.480
It just looks like normal gameplay.

05:45:09.440 --> 05:45:34.900
Now at 2x speed?

05:45:34.900 --> 05:45:40.320
It looks fucking normal. That's crazy. That is actually unbelievable

05:45:41.580 --> 05:45:48.140
The gameplay clips now obviously this approach is a lot closer to what you might expect from this kind of project

05:45:48.140 --> 05:45:55.340
But the general inconsistency and hardware assumptions are the main reasons why I ended up going for an otherwise far more

05:45:55.340 --> 05:45:57.860
What's with all the portal creators being fucking nuts?

05:45:57.860 --> 05:45:58.860
What?

05:45:58.860 --> 05:46:01.860
Marvel does the same shit he was a portal guy?

05:46:01.860 --> 05:46:05.260
Complicated and less flashy demonstration for the intro.

05:46:05.260 --> 05:46:09.980
I also tried uploading at 4k at high frame rates and a bunch of other stuff.

05:46:09.980 --> 05:46:12.940
So I'm pretty confident that I haven't missed anything major.

05:46:12.940 --> 05:46:15.180
If you think I have, let me know in the comments.

05:46:15.180 --> 05:46:17.460
Oh, but do check the pinned comment first.

05:46:17.460 --> 05:46:21.220
I always try to post the answers to the most common questions there.

05:46:21.220 --> 05:46:24.780
So if you found any of this interesting, please consider subscribing.

05:46:24.780 --> 05:46:31.780
It's the kind of stuff that we like to do around here and if you happen to be looking for a tutorial or consultant on your personal projects

05:46:31.780 --> 05:46:35.780
You can now pay me money to book my time at learn.ptor3.com

05:46:35.780 --> 05:46:38.780
Or if you instead want to learn how to code with...

05:46:38.780 --> 05:46:41.780
Dude, that was a sick video. Hang on. What's it say down here?

05:46:41.780 --> 05:46:46.780
On mobile quality does not change instantly. If it doesn't work, wait a bit. Rewind, try again.

05:46:46.780 --> 05:46:48.780
What was the conclusion of this video from my own testing?

05:46:48.780 --> 05:46:52.300
said many times in the video, your experience may be based on hundreds of different factors.

05:46:52.300 --> 05:46:56.080
I can't reasonably test every device and screen out there. Mobile devices are especially likely

05:46:56.080 --> 05:47:00.700
to misbehave. Here, that said, I think you missed something or technical details that

05:47:00.700 --> 05:47:03.100
got terribly wrong. Let me know.

05:47:03.100 --> 05:47:08.700
HDR video, interlaced video. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, YouTube doesn't natively

05:47:08.700 --> 05:47:13.900
support interlaced video. Enhanced bit rate. I don't think it really does anything. Can

05:47:13.900 --> 05:47:16.820
you polish the script? She may even make this. I'd rather not. Sorry, they're very messy

05:47:16.820 --> 05:47:20.260
and highly specific this video, adapting them to anything else or figuring out how they work

05:47:20.260 --> 05:47:22.420
is about as much work as trying to make a new script.

05:47:22.420 --> 05:47:27.620
Can we- oh, wow. Dude, holy shit. Dude, that was a fucking awesome video. Dude, the portal

05:47:27.620 --> 05:47:29.860
nerds are actually scary beings, though. Real talk.

05:47:29.860 --> 05:47:35.940
That'll be a video, though. Holy shit. That was awesome.

05:47:35.940 --> 05:47:42.420
Okay. Um, let me see. Is there anything else in here?

05:47:42.420 --> 05:48:01.420
Let me look through the plant's clips area.

05:48:01.420 --> 05:48:08.420
Where is it?

05:48:31.420 --> 05:48:44.300
A BP montage? No. I have no desire in watching a BP montage. Also, be honest with me, is

05:48:44.300 --> 05:48:54.180
that your video? Did you link me your own video? Brother. It very clearly says in there,

05:48:54.180 --> 05:48:55.820
No self promo, like...

05:48:56.880 --> 05:48:57.380
Brother.

05:48:58.260 --> 05:48:59.700
I'll let it slide this time, but...

05:49:07.860 --> 05:49:08.360
Okay.

05:49:14.100 --> 05:49:15.460
But this...

05:49:15.460 --> 05:49:38.460
Let me see.

05:49:38.460 --> 05:49:40.700
This Kalski vid looks pretty good, but it's a little new.

05:49:40.700 --> 05:49:45.440
I always like to weigh a little bit before I watch new videos, just because I don't want

05:49:45.440 --> 05:49:47.440
like insta-yoynket, you know?

05:49:57.440 --> 05:49:59.440
What else have we got?

05:50:12.440 --> 05:50:13.440
Hmm...

05:50:15.440 --> 05:50:17.440
Sorry

05:50:25.120 --> 05:50:31.520
Why are they guys usually guys link are like an hour long you know, I'm like I don't really want to commit to an hour

05:50:32.320 --> 05:50:34.560
And now there's a pretty long video

05:50:35.200 --> 05:50:41.360
Unless it's like something that's like super super super interesting. We're like we're all like hell. Yeah, let's do that, you know

05:50:45.440 --> 05:50:56.440
Oh, wait this one just got recommended, what is this?

05:50:56.440 --> 05:50:59.440
Oh, it's another speed video.

05:50:59.440 --> 05:51:05.440
Wait, is this guy always upload videos like this?

05:51:05.440 --> 05:51:07.440
Who watched one the other day?

05:51:15.440 --> 05:51:31.200
It's actually a good video, but I don't know if I...

05:51:31.200 --> 05:51:35.560
Okay, let me grab it.

05:51:35.560 --> 05:51:37.800
I'll put it off to the side.

05:51:37.800 --> 05:51:44.120
Dude, my algorithm actually just kicked in.

05:51:44.120 --> 05:51:56.420
I'm looking at videos from chat reacts, like chat links me to videos and like we watch

05:51:56.420 --> 05:52:03.620
them on stream and I have a section of my Discord called Flats Reacts.

05:52:03.620 --> 05:52:08.620
Let me see.

05:52:08.620 --> 05:52:14.940
You guys are all looking at like rabble stuff and all raw stuff and I'm like, I kinda like

05:52:14.940 --> 05:52:16.940
to skip those.

05:52:16.940 --> 05:52:20.940
Hold this one.

05:52:20.940 --> 05:52:23.940
Hmm.

05:52:23.940 --> 05:52:39.940
It's okay.

05:52:39.940 --> 05:52:49.940
How about...

05:52:49.940 --> 05:52:56.940
Let me see, let me see, let me see, let me see.

05:52:56.940 --> 05:53:25.940
is this one? China went to war with sparrows and lost?

05:53:25.940 --> 05:53:29.940
Wait, what is this?

05:53:29.940 --> 05:53:42.940
Oh, what is this one?

05:53:42.940 --> 05:53:43.940
This one's actually good.

05:53:43.940 --> 05:53:45.940
Oh, it looks good.

05:53:45.940 --> 05:53:52.940
What is this?

05:53:52.940 --> 05:53:54.940
Okay, what do you guys link this before?

05:54:01.860 --> 05:54:05.080
Okay, what what do you guys link this video?

05:54:06.420 --> 05:54:09.760
This one right here, and I wanted to show you guys the thumbnail

05:54:10.460 --> 05:54:12.460
Without like going back through discord

05:54:13.220 --> 05:54:15.220
It's like like

05:54:15.220 --> 05:54:26.900
That's a funny ass thumbnail or a video of the bird peanut is a recession into what does

05:54:26.900 --> 05:54:28.900
that even mean?

05:54:28.900 --> 05:54:29.900
What does it even mean?

05:54:29.900 --> 05:54:36.740
Also, they're all like streamer videos.

05:54:36.740 --> 05:54:39.220
Curse of building something too big, the cost of becoming jinksy.

05:54:39.220 --> 05:54:41.460
I bet this is a really good video actually.

05:54:41.460 --> 05:54:42.460
Dude, okay.

05:54:42.460 --> 05:54:44.700
Can I say something really quick?

05:54:44.700 --> 05:54:52.780
I've like kind of low key realized with time that becoming like the biggest

05:54:52.780 --> 05:54:57.220
streamers like on the planet like 20, 30, 40, 50, 70,000, 80,000 viewers is almost

05:54:57.220 --> 05:54:59.860
impossible unless that's literally the only thing you do.

05:55:00.460 --> 05:55:03.940
Actually, that's why I wanted to watch this one because I was like it case was

05:55:03.940 --> 05:55:06.500
such an anomaly to that.

05:55:06.740 --> 05:55:10.260
But like all of all like the new gen like phase and all that stuff, like they

05:55:10.260 --> 05:55:13.580
just are on stream 24 seven, like everything in their life is content,

05:55:13.580 --> 05:55:18.140
content content all day long and it's never not and so like Jinxies I think

05:55:18.140 --> 05:55:21.140
has not missed a stream day in like almost two years he's like one and a

05:55:21.140 --> 05:55:26.660
half day or one and a half years like that's crazy like crazy to think about

05:55:26.660 --> 05:55:31.740
at the other at me if this video is good let's watch that one another time

05:55:31.740 --> 05:55:35.380
alright let's walk in the last honest streamer for whatever reason the

05:55:35.380 --> 05:55:39.340
internet loves the spectacle the bigger it is the louder it is the more

05:55:39.340 --> 05:55:42.940
expensive it looks the better it performs look at the top of twitch right now

05:55:42.940 --> 05:55:46.620
It's flooded with million-dollar mansions, celebrity sub-a-thon, streamers buying their

05:55:46.620 --> 05:55:50.820
10th dream car, everything seems to be built around the question that how much money can

05:55:50.820 --> 05:55:53.860
we burn on camera?

05:55:53.860 --> 05:55:54.860
And then there's this guy.

05:55:54.860 --> 05:55:59.460
I was gonna say that is like sort of true, but I also feel like it depends on like what

05:55:59.460 --> 05:56:00.460
your audience is.

05:56:00.460 --> 05:56:04.460
Like I feel like, uh, like especially a lot of the younger audience loves to see that

05:56:04.460 --> 05:56:05.940
kind of stuff, you know?

05:56:05.940 --> 05:56:10.220
Kaseo is interesting because on paper he's doing almost everything wrong.

05:56:10.220 --> 05:56:11.940
His production quality is kind of garbage.

05:56:11.940 --> 05:56:19.060
So where'd he come from 200,000 years playing full guys yesterday? Yeah, wasn't even zoomed in or cropped his setup isn't designed

05:56:19.060 --> 05:56:21.140
You know, what's actually funny dude

05:56:21.140 --> 05:56:24.420
I wouldn't so like he like built like a like a like a

05:56:24.840 --> 05:56:27.300
Warehouse or something he swapped his stream set up for a little bit

05:56:27.300 --> 05:56:29.780
And I feel like ever like I saw some people talking like oh

05:56:29.780 --> 05:56:35.840
I missed the old one already and then he just went right back smartest thing I've ever seen like if I if I mean

05:56:35.840 --> 05:56:39.100
Honest with you chat if I was to tell a new streamer coming up today

05:56:39.100 --> 05:56:46.000
I would tell you even if you moved houses like if you went from like your small apartment to your like multi-million dollar home

05:56:46.160 --> 05:56:48.960
You should rebuild your apartment in the house

05:56:49.160 --> 05:56:55.860
Like you should rebuild it like completely like make it look almost the exact same because like people if not stay there

05:56:55.860 --> 05:57:00.760
Or hell build by the house and then keep the apartment and like stream only out of the apartment for some reason

05:57:01.480 --> 05:57:03.800
You can actually see this with many many many shimmers

05:57:04.560 --> 05:57:08.020
Calm confused. Let me explain. There's a lot of people that

05:57:08.020 --> 05:57:13.020
that they, okay, if they change their camera,

05:57:14.580 --> 05:57:17.060
their aesthetic, the background, et cetera,

05:57:17.060 --> 05:57:20.180
like they start to lose that connect that they already had.

05:57:22.260 --> 05:57:24.060
There's other rumors I could say

05:57:24.060 --> 05:57:25.900
that I think of this immediately,

05:57:25.900 --> 05:57:29.340
where it's like they could be making millions,

05:57:29.340 --> 05:57:32.300
but as long as like their aesthetic on camera

05:57:32.300 --> 05:57:35.220
and like their setup and all that stuff stays the same,

05:57:35.220 --> 05:57:36.340
like people will never,

05:57:36.340 --> 05:57:38.140
People don't really think of it that way,

05:57:38.140 --> 05:57:41.180
but if they change over, even if they're the exact same person,

05:57:41.180 --> 05:57:44.020
exact same stuff, like with maybe a better camera

05:57:44.020 --> 05:57:48.140
and a better set up or more like a bigger room behind them,

05:57:48.140 --> 05:57:51.100
people like for some reason subconsciously start to think

05:57:51.100 --> 05:57:53.700
like, oh, this guy is not the same guy I used to watch,

05:57:53.700 --> 05:57:56.940
you know, Asmongold, I think actually,

05:57:56.940 --> 05:57:59.820
I think you're on the money actually with that one.

05:57:59.820 --> 05:58:02.300
There's, I think one of the smartest things,

05:58:02.300 --> 05:58:04.600
I thought he was a new creator and I blew up tomorrow,

05:58:04.600 --> 05:58:06.060
I would tell you just never change your setup,

05:58:06.060 --> 05:58:06.940
Like, don't even move.

05:58:06.940 --> 05:58:08.620
Like, if you were in an apartment, great.

05:58:08.620 --> 05:58:10.380
Like, you want to buy a house, great.

05:58:10.380 --> 05:58:11.460
Like, buy it near that apartment

05:58:11.460 --> 05:58:13.260
and stream out of the apartment.

05:58:13.260 --> 05:58:14.740
Travel back there and stream.

05:58:14.740 --> 05:58:16.340
Be some massive content machine.

05:58:16.340 --> 05:58:18.060
Half the time he's live, he's playing.

05:58:18.060 --> 05:58:19.820
I mean, for me, personally, it's already too late.

05:58:19.820 --> 05:58:21.100
Like, I've moved multiple apartments.

05:58:21.100 --> 05:58:22.500
There's no saving me now.

05:58:22.500 --> 05:58:23.340
It's over.

05:58:23.340 --> 05:58:26.300
A random game most people would never even heard of.

05:58:26.300 --> 05:58:28.300
Your costume sucks, kid.

05:58:28.300 --> 05:58:31.020
I mean, when your entire job is getting people to watch you,

05:58:31.020 --> 05:58:32.780
you don't turn down a Mr. Beast video.

05:58:32.780 --> 05:58:33.620
But, Keiso.

05:58:33.620 --> 05:58:35.780
Keiso did not respond to this.

05:58:35.780 --> 05:58:42.280
And somehow, despite doing all the stuff that those creators were supposed to do, he's still one of the biggest streamers on the planet.

05:58:42.280 --> 05:58:42.780
How does that-

05:58:42.780 --> 05:58:44.280
It says he's authentic.

05:58:44.280 --> 05:58:45.280
Just does what he wants.

05:58:45.280 --> 05:58:46.280
The honest answer is none of this should have worked.

05:58:46.280 --> 05:58:49.280
Because Keiso's had the odds stacked against him since day one.

05:58:49.280 --> 05:58:51.280
Keis Baker grew up in rural Arkansas.

05:58:51.280 --> 05:58:53.780
His hometown has a population just over 1,500.

05:58:53.780 --> 05:58:58.780
It's the kind of place where a new Walmart makes the front page, and where the churches outnumber the stoplights.

05:58:58.780 --> 05:59:00.780
But towns like that don't have a lot going on.

05:59:00.780 --> 05:59:04.280
So as a quiet kid, Keis did what quiet kids in the quiet towns have always done.

05:59:04.280 --> 05:59:08.160
He disappeared into a screen in this case of PlayStation all the beauty on repeat

05:59:08.960 --> 05:59:11.880
And when YouTube started blowing out them at early 2010s

05:59:11.920 --> 05:59:16.760
He was right there watching a shot in the optic guys built something they didn't exist at Delta earlier

05:59:16.760 --> 05:59:20.560
He watched gaming damn the thing you did after school into an actual career

05:59:21.840 --> 05:59:27.560
Also, I just realized are we getting DMCA to all hell right now? I just listen I was just hearing the music in the background

05:59:27.560 --> 05:59:29.560
Is this DMC apocalypse?

05:59:29.560 --> 05:59:33.680
Oh well.

05:59:33.680 --> 05:59:37.720
The biggest thing was burying their parents' annual salaries in a single weekend, and after

05:59:37.720 --> 05:59:40.800
watching that it became Casey's dream job.

05:59:40.800 --> 05:59:41.880
Too late now.

05:59:41.880 --> 05:59:45.040
The problem was he knew the odds, especially in his situation.

05:59:45.040 --> 05:59:47.400
His wi-fi was barely good enough to even watch YouTube.

05:59:47.400 --> 05:59:50.040
Uploading to it or streaming on Twitch, forget it.

05:59:50.040 --> 05:59:51.040
So he buried it.

05:59:51.040 --> 05:59:52.680
Damn, that's like me right now.

05:59:52.680 --> 05:59:53.680
Just kidding.

05:59:53.680 --> 05:59:54.680
He graduated high school, he's a cancer.

05:59:54.680 --> 05:59:58.080
He's between jobs, so often working two at a time just to keep the lights on.

05:59:58.080 --> 06:00:03.480
for six years. Six years of clocking in somewhere he didn't want to be. Six years of watching

06:00:03.480 --> 06:00:08.000
other guys his age blow up online doing the exact same thing he'd given up on.

06:00:08.000 --> 06:00:09.000
True.

06:00:09.000 --> 06:00:12.640
By the end of it, case was broke. Burnout. He was one bad week away from walking into

06:00:12.640 --> 06:00:16.880
a cruders office and signing up for the military. And his mom stepped in. And she asked him

06:00:16.880 --> 06:00:18.120
the question and she changed everything.

06:00:18.120 --> 06:00:19.120
I feel that actually though.

06:00:19.120 --> 06:00:22.280
I'm gonna take a little shot at the whole streaming thing. What's the worst that happens?

06:00:22.280 --> 06:00:25.080
So cool. That's actually so cool.

06:00:25.680 --> 06:00:26.680
I had.

06:00:27.280 --> 06:00:31.680
I said, I'm not trying to make a sob story, but I did not have that experience.

06:00:31.680 --> 06:00:34.180
My my my family was very against it.

06:00:34.180 --> 06:00:36.380
Very much was against the whole idea.

06:00:38.480 --> 06:00:40.280
And so that's fucking cool.

06:00:40.280 --> 06:00:41.380
Honestly, that's so nice.

06:00:41.380 --> 06:00:43.180
One of the most competitive W mon.

06:00:43.180 --> 06:00:46.380
And if you're like case trying to pursue a full time, you need to understand

06:00:46.380 --> 06:00:47.380
there's levels to this.

06:00:50.480 --> 06:00:51.980
Level one, you can quit your job.

06:00:51.980 --> 06:00:57.020
Level 2 you're living large and at level 3 you're the top 1% of the top 1%.

06:00:58.540 --> 06:01:03.100
No, there's no direct translation from twitch viewers to money. So for the sake of the example

06:01:03.100 --> 06:01:07.260
we're gonna say you reach 100 viewers. Once you're there you can take the

06:01:07.260 --> 06:01:11.660
sake of the example we're gonna say you reach level 1 at around 100 viewers. Once you're there

06:01:11.660 --> 06:01:16.140
you can take the leech. I don't think you can quit your job at 100 viewers. I don't think so at all.

06:01:16.140 --> 06:01:21.140
Okay, to give you an idea, I can say quite confidently,

06:01:22.100 --> 06:01:25.580
I at one point was like, I used to, okay, for those don't know,

06:01:25.580 --> 06:01:27.700
I used to have this guy named bias, he worked for me.

06:01:27.700 --> 06:01:30.740
He was a literal data analyst.

06:01:30.740 --> 06:01:33.660
He just wanted to learn about video game stuff, right?

06:01:33.660 --> 06:01:34.820
Actually funny enough, we're talking about that.

06:01:34.820 --> 06:01:37.380
Now he works for, you know what I'm not gonna say who,

06:01:37.380 --> 06:01:39.860
but he works for fucking massive YouTuber now.

06:01:39.860 --> 06:01:44.540
And the funny thing is he did market research on Twitch

06:01:44.540 --> 06:01:46.820
with me, and I was at one point

06:01:46.820 --> 06:01:49.540
from between sub to viewer ratio to like followers

06:01:49.540 --> 06:01:51.300
and all this stuff, I was the third highest

06:01:51.300 --> 06:01:54.080
on the entire platform where like,

06:01:54.080 --> 06:01:56.380
I was like someone between 100 and 300 viewers

06:01:56.380 --> 06:01:59.420
and I was averaging like two to like three

06:01:59.420 --> 06:02:00.940
to almost 4,000 subs.

06:02:00.940 --> 06:02:02.020
It was crazy.

06:02:02.020 --> 06:02:03.980
I had such a supportive community

06:02:03.980 --> 06:02:05.100
and I still do to this day.

06:02:05.100 --> 06:02:06.860
Like I like genuinely always say,

06:02:06.860 --> 06:02:09.260
I have always had such a nice super supportive community

06:02:09.260 --> 06:02:10.660
and I appreciate you guys a ton.

06:02:10.660 --> 06:02:12.660
But like when I was like that small,

06:02:12.660 --> 06:02:14.660
like it was getting hard backpacked.

06:02:16.360 --> 06:02:17.660
It was insane.

06:02:17.660 --> 06:02:21.060
Like there was like 10 people that allowed me

06:02:21.060 --> 06:02:24.060
to basically like live, which was insane.

06:02:26.060 --> 06:02:29.060
And I can tell you right now, that is not the norm.

06:02:29.060 --> 06:02:30.860
That is not the norm at all.

06:02:30.860 --> 06:02:33.300
And that I think you probably, with today's switch,

06:02:33.300 --> 06:02:34.380
where you have like ads and stuff,

06:02:34.380 --> 06:02:37.980
it's probably closer to like 400 viewers.

06:02:37.980 --> 06:02:39.180
And it depends if you're doing YouTube and stuff.

06:02:39.180 --> 06:02:40.180
So if you get YouTube spun up,

06:02:40.180 --> 06:02:41.940
and you get TikTok spun up,

06:02:41.940 --> 06:02:46.560
You probably could get away with a little bit less, but like, 100 is not high enough, depending on where you live as well.

06:02:46.560 --> 06:02:47.060
Full time.

06:02:47.060 --> 06:02:49.280
I live in Massachusetts, expensive as fuck here.

06:02:49.280 --> 06:02:51.280
Getting there sounds totally reasonable.

06:02:51.280 --> 06:02:51.780
It's not.

06:02:51.780 --> 06:02:54.900
Somehow convincing 100 people to watch you live is brutal.

06:02:54.900 --> 06:02:59.700
In the past year, 18.4 million people opened up Twitch and broadcasted live on the platform.

06:02:59.700 --> 06:03:03.300
I want you to guess how many of them actually made it to level 1.

06:03:03.300 --> 06:03:05.300
Seriously, there's no number out there.

06:03:05.300 --> 06:03:09.380
The answer is 165,536.

06:03:09.380 --> 06:03:10.660
That's less than 1%.

06:03:10.660 --> 06:03:13.580
For every person who gets to level one, there's a hundred that don't.

06:03:14.300 --> 06:03:17.900
Every big streamer you see today spent days, weeks, if not months,

06:03:17.900 --> 06:03:20.940
streaming to an audience of zero. I mean, take Jinxie for a day.

06:03:21.140 --> 06:03:24.460
He streamed to just five years for a year and a half before he ever made it.

06:03:24.620 --> 06:03:27.660
Which is crazy. Honestly, that level of dedication is insane.

06:03:27.660 --> 06:03:28.900
And you know what's kind of sad though?

06:03:28.900 --> 06:03:32.580
It's like, dude, it does really feel like there's some luck involved, you know?

06:03:32.580 --> 06:03:35.860
And I think that your chances of luck go up the more you show up and the more you

06:03:35.860 --> 06:03:37.980
post and the more you're there every day, but like

06:03:37.980 --> 06:03:45.980
I'm throwing all of these numbers at you for a reason because without them you wouldn't understand how truly insane what happens next is

06:03:46.300 --> 06:03:50.260
Okay, so hate to interrupt myself here, but let's say you're like case. Oh and don't love your day job

06:03:50.260 --> 06:03:55.060
Maybe you're not all that interested in streaming, but you've got a business idea and just don't know this is a W

06:03:55.060 --> 06:03:57.060
Is this an ad let me tell you about what?

06:03:57.700 --> 06:04:01.780
Okay, while you're working so I don't you add business today

06:04:01.780 --> 06:04:06.760
WM 24 hours y'all took me from nothing to crazy all the 2k

06:04:06.760 --> 06:04:12.580
So hit level one in the first hour of his first ever stream and he did so many streams came streamers came from Tuesday

06:04:12.580 --> 06:04:17.400
I can't do deep from the top man in the days before he went live for the first time

06:04:17.400 --> 06:04:20.680
And case it was already laying the ground water. You know what sucks now, dude

06:04:20.680 --> 06:04:22.720
I think he's probably gonna talk about it in here

06:04:22.720 --> 06:04:26.520
I think a lot of cases like blob was from tick tock and like he's the stream on tick tock to

06:04:26.520 --> 06:04:32.280
So, TikTok and TikTok streaming now is so fucking bad, it is so bad.

06:04:32.280 --> 06:04:35.880
I've tried to be like, you know, more on top than streaming more on TikTok.

06:04:35.880 --> 06:04:37.080
It is falling off the cliff.

06:04:37.080 --> 06:04:39.080
I don't even think he streams on TikTok anymore.

06:04:39.080 --> 06:04:41.080
Does Jinx even stream on TikTok anymore?

06:04:41.080 --> 06:04:42.080
I don't even know if he does.

06:04:42.080 --> 06:04:44.080
I feel like you can't even.

06:04:44.080 --> 06:04:49.600
And on September 10th, 2022, he uploaded 22 videos to TikTok.

06:04:49.600 --> 06:04:53.600
The next morning, he woke up to over 10,000 followers and a comment section floated with

06:04:53.600 --> 06:04:54.600
one question.

06:04:54.600 --> 06:04:58.100
So that night, he went live for the first time, and the floodgates opened.

06:04:58.100 --> 06:05:02.000
When I look down, I see 126 viewers, bro, I cannot believe it.

06:05:02.000 --> 06:05:03.920
From that day on, he followed the same routine.

06:05:03.920 --> 06:05:07.880
Clock in to the 9-5, hit the second job, cut a few mauls, then come home and stream until

06:05:07.880 --> 06:05:08.880
he couldn't keep his eyes open.

06:05:08.880 --> 06:05:14.880
I can't, I wanna go to sleep, man, I wanna go to work, man.

06:05:14.880 --> 06:05:15.880
I want another build, dawg.

06:05:15.880 --> 06:05:18.880
All I wanna do is make builds and play 2K forever.

06:05:18.880 --> 06:05:20.880
Why I gotta go work?

06:05:20.880 --> 06:05:21.880
Play 2K.

06:05:21.880 --> 06:05:45.040
You know what's really like amazing to say I know that feeling

06:05:45.640 --> 06:05:48.880
No, I didn't have a job to call because it was COVID. Haha. I was already laid off

06:05:48.880 --> 06:05:55.040
But like I know exactly what that feeling feels like right there when you start to see like the glimmer of hope of like wait

06:05:55.040 --> 06:05:57.040
This is working. I could do this

06:05:57.200 --> 06:05:59.440
And I'll tell you right now. It's a it's a blessing

06:06:04.960 --> 06:06:08.920
The case so kept his head on straight what shows up overnight can also disappear

06:06:09.200 --> 06:06:11.680
So before he quit his day job he needed fruit

06:06:11.680 --> 06:06:16.920
This wasn't a fluke so he made a deal with his chat hit 5,000 twitch subs and he'd quit his job

06:06:16.920 --> 06:06:21.640
This is the day we're gonna remember forever you feel me? This is the day we're gonna remember forever

06:06:22.480 --> 06:06:28.560
You know, I love y'all man. Thank you, bro. It's all y'all. You feel me? Thank you man full-time case. I want to build it

06:06:28.560 --> 06:06:31.560
And I'm laying in their mouth to within just a few weeks

06:06:31.560 --> 06:06:36.840
It was a done deal and his fan base was new but dedicated and they wanted to see him pursue this thing full-time

06:06:36.840 --> 06:06:41.520
Like I said, I've been dreaming of wanting to you know be a streamer a content creators. I was 13 years old

06:06:41.520 --> 06:06:44.360
I finally took the lead broke. I finally took the lead

06:06:44.360 --> 06:06:55.280
Now it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows from here his internet was still garbage like genuinely bad streams would lag or even just end because of the

06:06:55.280 --> 06:06:57.280
connection bottomed out

06:06:57.280 --> 06:07:03.960
I thought I had it bad that's real bad and when you're trying to vote an audience

06:07:03.960 --> 06:07:07.160
That's the kiss of death if your stream ends they move on to the next

06:07:09.680 --> 06:07:12.800
For months it looked like dude, I can't wait till I move chat

06:07:12.800 --> 06:07:14.300
I'm gonna be honest with you guys.

06:07:14.300 --> 06:07:17.260
It's so demoralizing when you're sitting there streaming.

06:07:17.260 --> 06:07:19.300
Like, dude, you know what was the worst?

06:07:19.300 --> 06:07:21.860
Season one of Overwatch release again,

06:07:21.860 --> 06:07:23.660
you know what I mean, in February.

06:07:23.660 --> 06:07:25.180
I was sitting pretty.

06:07:25.180 --> 06:07:27.860
It was me, E-Mong, I think like Aspen,

06:07:27.860 --> 06:07:29.380
for all the top of the category.

06:07:29.380 --> 06:07:30.940
Dude, all the people coming running in.

06:07:30.940 --> 06:07:32.340
They're like, oh my God, it's Overwatch back?

06:07:32.340 --> 06:07:33.460
Like, what is this?

06:07:33.460 --> 06:07:36.700
And my internet dies for 45 minutes.

06:07:36.700 --> 06:07:39.020
Everyone left, everyone, no one, everyone,

06:07:39.020 --> 06:07:40.500
like I came back and I was at like,

06:07:40.500 --> 06:07:42.060
I was at like 5,000 viewers

06:07:42.060 --> 06:07:47.460
As everyone was going on the way up, I think Emon got to like 30 or 20, Aspen was like

06:07:47.460 --> 06:07:52.900
15 or actually I think Aspen was like 20, 30, Prague was like 15, I was at like two.

06:07:52.900 --> 06:07:54.660
Cause like I was, I wasn't alive at the time.

06:07:54.660 --> 06:07:56.260
I had everyone on the left, you know what I mean?

06:07:56.260 --> 06:07:57.380
I got stuck there.

06:07:57.380 --> 06:07:58.380
And then guess what happened?

06:07:58.380 --> 06:08:01.860
Halfway through the day, it went out again, I feel like I started, I started catching

06:08:01.860 --> 06:08:03.420
back like, oh, you came back online.

06:08:03.420 --> 06:08:04.580
I thought you got off for the day.

06:08:04.580 --> 06:08:06.420
I'm like, no, no, my internet died.

06:08:06.420 --> 06:08:07.420
Guess what?

06:08:07.420 --> 06:08:08.420
Died again.

06:08:08.420 --> 06:08:10.020
It was awful.

06:08:10.020 --> 06:08:11.780
That was like, that was a horrible day.

06:08:11.780 --> 06:08:13.660
I've never been more sad than that day.

06:08:13.660 --> 06:08:14.900
That really hurt me a lot.

06:08:14.900 --> 06:08:16.240
Cause I was like, damn, like,

06:08:16.240 --> 06:08:17.820
I was excited to hop back on.

06:08:17.820 --> 06:08:20.540
Like, I hadn't been playing Overwatch that much recently.

06:08:20.540 --> 06:08:23.340
You know, we were excited, you know, it was awful.

06:08:23.340 --> 06:08:24.740
Maybe the whole thing wasn't for me.

06:08:24.740 --> 06:08:26.540
Maybe the bubble had already popped.

06:08:26.540 --> 06:08:27.380
You know, I've seen them now.

06:08:27.380 --> 06:08:28.220
Wait, what happened?

06:08:28.220 --> 06:08:29.060
I'm sorry.

06:08:29.060 --> 06:08:30.380
They move on to the next.

06:08:30.380 --> 06:08:32.060
Eventually numbers started slipping.

06:08:32.060 --> 06:08:33.380
For a couple of months, it looked like

06:08:33.380 --> 06:08:34.900
maybe the whole thing wasn't for me.

06:08:34.900 --> 06:08:36.700
Maybe the bubble had already popped.

06:08:36.700 --> 06:08:38.820
You know, I've seen the numbers when I very first started.

06:08:38.820 --> 06:08:39.660
You know, the hype was there

06:08:39.660 --> 06:08:44.860
I first blew up had like nine eight hundred viewers every night and I see it dip dip dip the like you know

06:08:45.420 --> 06:08:51.700
100-150 I was like I gotta do something different. It's gonna go wonder then he picked up a different game Hogwarts legacy

06:08:51.700 --> 06:08:56.220
It was kind of a weird choice and had a totally different audience from this is actually the first clips

06:08:56.220 --> 06:08:59.620
I saw but he streamed it anyway clipped a moment. We posted it

06:09:03.380 --> 06:09:05.700
I see the Sun peeking through the window a little bit

06:09:05.700 --> 06:09:15.540
That one video alone pulled in over 18 million views.

06:09:15.540 --> 06:09:17.060
Just like that, he's back.

06:09:17.060 --> 06:09:18.300
Viewership climbs to 600.

06:09:18.300 --> 06:09:19.300
Keeps climbing.

06:09:19.300 --> 06:09:21.860
Month after month, every week another clip going viral.

06:09:21.860 --> 06:09:27.660
Another wave of new viewers sparring strength of the stream.

06:09:27.660 --> 06:09:33.500
The snowball was rolling in by May 2023, case it was averaging over 2500 viewers, a legitimate

06:09:33.500 --> 06:09:41.680
name and strain culture. And this is level 2. At level 2 you're starting to get large.

06:09:41.680 --> 06:09:45.100
You're in big boy money territory. At this point you're not going to benefit the whole

06:09:45.100 --> 06:09:50.260
thing vanishes overnight. Yeah, DMCA popups are right, but working on

06:09:50.260 --> 06:09:55.100
these trailers, Kaisal was sitting somewhere just inside the top 10000 strainers on Twitch.

06:09:55.100 --> 06:09:58.940
Incredible by any measure, but remember, twitch is stacked top heavy. And when I say

06:09:58.940 --> 06:10:01.400
top-heavy, I mean it.

06:10:01.400 --> 06:10:02.400
True.

06:10:02.400 --> 06:10:05.640
If you're not at the top of the category on Twitch, you're typically not growing.

06:10:05.640 --> 06:10:07.800
But at the moment, there are about 3 million users on Twitch.

06:10:07.800 --> 06:10:11.640
Dude, that's why just chatting is a danger zone.

06:10:11.640 --> 06:10:15.320
Unless you've got like 30,000 viewers, you ain't growing in that category.

06:10:15.320 --> 06:10:16.320
Chin content.

06:10:16.320 --> 06:10:19.880
When you break down the viewer distribution by channel rank, the picture gets pretty clear.

06:10:19.880 --> 06:10:24.920
Out of the millions of channels on the platform, the top 250 pull over half the viewership.

06:10:24.920 --> 06:10:27.000
That's the difference between level 2 and level 3.

06:10:27.000 --> 06:10:30.960
While it seems like the easiest jump on the ladder here, it's actually the most difficult.

06:10:30.960 --> 06:10:34.480
There's a specific blueprint nearly every streamer has followed to make this jump.

06:10:34.480 --> 06:10:36.080
Here, I'll break it down for you.

06:10:36.080 --> 06:10:39.200
What you're looking at right now is five of the biggest streamers on the planet, each

06:10:39.200 --> 06:10:42.480
at the moment they were averaging exactly 2,500 viewers.

06:10:42.480 --> 06:10:43.480
Pay attention to the setups.

06:10:43.480 --> 06:10:44.480
None of them are exciting.

06:10:44.480 --> 06:10:48.520
The rims are pretty basic, the camera quality kinda sucks, there's no production bite,

06:10:48.520 --> 06:10:50.000
they look like what they are.

06:10:50.000 --> 06:10:51.880
Just guys streaming from their bedrooms.

06:10:51.880 --> 06:10:55.800
Now fast forward to when those same streamers are pulling 10,000 viewers a night.

06:10:55.800 --> 06:10:56.800
Everything's changed.

06:10:56.800 --> 06:11:00.580
Everything's dialed in, the cameras are crisp, the rooms look intentional, this is the blueprint

06:11:00.580 --> 06:11:01.580
kicking in, and-

06:11:01.580 --> 06:11:03.140
But Ninja's looks the same though.

06:11:03.140 --> 06:11:04.780
It all starts with one realization.

06:11:04.780 --> 06:11:05.780
So does Aiden's.

06:11:05.780 --> 06:11:07.580
At this level streaming isn't just a jo-

06:11:07.580 --> 06:11:10.740
Okay, respectfully I disagree with this so much.

06:11:10.740 --> 06:11:11.740
Not anymore.

06:11:11.740 --> 06:11:12.900
It's a business.

06:11:12.900 --> 06:11:16.100
And like a business, the goal is to make as much money as possible.

06:11:16.100 --> 06:11:18.700
The internet, for whatever reason, creates a spectacle.

06:11:18.700 --> 06:11:20.740
And the spectacle game is pretty easy to play.

06:11:20.740 --> 06:11:22.980
You've kinda just gotta spend money to make money.

06:11:22.980 --> 06:11:24.500
The setup is just the start.

06:11:24.500 --> 06:11:25.740
Next comes the move to LA.

06:11:25.740 --> 06:11:29.960
By the mansion, drop the I Just Bought My Dream car video, hire a dozen editors to pump

06:11:29.960 --> 06:11:31.380
out clips around the clock.

06:11:31.380 --> 06:11:33.100
By the time you're clearing- Wait, did I do it wrong?

06:11:33.100 --> 06:11:36.020
Am I- Wait, hang on, I didn't drop the video on either of my cars.

06:11:36.020 --> 06:11:37.020
Uh-oh.

06:11:37.020 --> 06:11:39.420
50,000 viewers, it turns into an optimization race.

06:11:39.420 --> 06:11:43.580
Every stream, every upload, every second of content is engineered to mope the cash cow.

06:11:43.580 --> 06:11:46.980
The longer you stand at the top, the more efficient it becomes, and weirdly, the more

06:11:46.980 --> 06:11:48.620
the internet praises you for it.

06:11:48.620 --> 06:11:51.220
But the spectacle only works if people are still looking.

06:11:51.220 --> 06:11:52.700
Relevancy is the- Where's the carpet?

06:11:52.700 --> 06:11:53.980
I- I didn't make one.

06:11:53.980 --> 06:11:54.980
I never made one.

06:11:54.980 --> 06:11:57.940
The second your numbers dip, the money goes with it.

06:11:57.940 --> 06:11:59.380
So you're forced to stay visible.

06:11:59.380 --> 06:12:03.020
You hit the podcast circuit, impulsive on Monday and blank on Thursday.

06:12:03.020 --> 06:12:04.900
You show up to every mainstream streamer event.

06:12:04.900 --> 06:12:09.140
You become a permanent fixture in the conversation because the conversation is the product.

06:12:09.140 --> 06:12:13.140
And the fastest way to stay in the conversation is to stand next to someone bigger than you.

06:12:13.140 --> 06:12:16.260
Take those same five streamers and pull up their biggest streams of all time.

06:12:16.260 --> 06:12:20.580
Ninja, Fortnite with Drake, Aimee Ross, the Donald Trump interview, HiSnap, and a brawn

06:12:20.580 --> 06:12:24.460
stream that pulled over a million concurrent viewers.

06:12:24.460 --> 06:12:25.460
That's the blueprint.

06:12:25.460 --> 06:12:30.620
I'm not necessarily saying it's bulletproof or guaranteed, but he's kind of right though.

06:12:30.620 --> 06:12:33.980
Yeah, he is kind of right.

06:12:33.980 --> 06:12:35.220
It's the safe route.

06:12:35.220 --> 06:12:39.220
Every student who's made it to the top 250 has run some version of that exact playbook

06:12:39.220 --> 06:12:43.140
based on constant evolution, but Keso ignored this approach altogether.

06:12:43.140 --> 06:12:46.260
His strategy is quite literally the opposite in just about every possible...

06:12:46.260 --> 06:12:48.420
Yeah, that's what I was saying, he's just a suit anomaly.

06:12:48.420 --> 06:12:52.980
The last time we talked about Keso, he was fresh off of Hogwarts averaging 2,500 viewers.

06:12:52.980 --> 06:12:58.980
So let's run that same comparison from earlier and fast-forward to when he's at 10,000.

06:12:58.980 --> 06:12:59.980
Not much has changed.

06:12:59.980 --> 06:13:04.280
I mean, sure, he did buy a new house, but he moved from a trap house to a trailer just

06:13:04.280 --> 06:13:05.280
across town.

06:13:05.280 --> 06:13:08.640
Either way, at the end of the day, his computer monitor is still being held up with the vacuum

06:13:08.640 --> 06:13:09.640
cleaner.

06:13:09.640 --> 06:13:13.080
If I don't have the vacuum cleaner holding up the back of the monitor, it'll fall over.

06:13:13.080 --> 06:13:15.080
And then back here are my PCs.

06:13:15.080 --> 06:13:17.680
Wait, I've never seen this.

06:13:17.680 --> 06:13:19.680
And the chemical...

06:13:19.680 --> 06:13:23.520
Well, I actually, unironically, used to have a set of kind of like this in my old apartment.

06:13:23.520 --> 06:13:25.120
Oh, and he seems to somehow have gotten worse.

06:13:25.120 --> 06:13:29.680
Like my desk, my desk was like this long, like sorry, this wide, right?

06:13:29.680 --> 06:13:32.960
And so like the monitor would be in front of me and then my keyboard was off to the side.

06:13:32.960 --> 06:13:37.200
I had to put my desk against the wall because the monitor was like falling off the back.

06:13:37.200 --> 06:13:41.840
That my strength wally is actually so crispy. It looks like it's in four days.

06:13:41.840 --> 06:13:44.800
Since Hogwarts, he's continued to stream four to six nights a week.

06:13:44.800 --> 06:13:48.400
Same time, same chat, rotating through whatever random games he feels like.

06:13:48.400 --> 06:13:51.040
Supermarket Simulator, great. Dress to impress.

06:13:51.040 --> 06:13:52.880
What is this?

06:13:52.880 --> 06:13:55.280
Oh, I remember the dress to impress.

06:13:55.280 --> 06:13:56.960
That clips, I used to see those.

06:13:56.960 --> 06:13:59.600
Games a normal person wouldn't think to stream,

06:13:59.600 --> 06:14:02.160
but then you watch for five minutes and you start to get it.

06:14:02.160 --> 06:14:04.240
This is the funniest dude on the internet right now.

06:14:04.240 --> 06:14:06.720
Just please, the most random green thing.

06:14:06.720 --> 06:14:08.400
Okay, so where do you come from?

06:14:08.400 --> 06:14:11.040
200,000 years playing Fall Guys yesterday.

06:14:11.040 --> 06:14:12.400
Because the game isn't fun.

06:14:12.400 --> 06:14:13.840
The chat isn't there for the games.

06:14:13.840 --> 06:14:16.800
They're there to watch him fall out of his chair for the 10th time this month

06:14:16.800 --> 06:14:26.920
and narrate it like he's describing a car accident.

06:14:26.920 --> 06:14:32.680
To watch him get jump-scared by her fore again and scream at a volume that blows up the mind.

06:14:32.680 --> 06:14:33.960
And that's why it worked.

06:14:33.960 --> 06:14:39.720
By January of 2024, Kaisa was averaging over 50,000 confirmed viewers every single night,

06:14:39.720 --> 06:14:57.840
Making him the number 3 ranch streamer on all of Twitch.

06:14:57.840 --> 06:15:01.240
By every matchup he actually uses, Keso is underperforming.

06:15:01.240 --> 06:15:04.000
He's leaving growth on the table at every possible turn.

06:15:04.000 --> 06:15:07.620
He doesn't invest in new setups, he doesn't upgrade his gear, and has no real plan to

06:15:07.620 --> 06:15:09.040
optimize himself.

06:15:09.040 --> 06:15:12.120
Every analyst will tell you he could be 12 years old, but I think it's actually super

06:15:12.120 --> 06:15:13.120
smart.

06:15:13.120 --> 06:15:15.940
As the size he is, if he just ran the playbook like everyone else.

06:15:15.940 --> 06:15:17.640
And honestly, they're probably right.

06:15:17.640 --> 06:15:18.640
But here's the thing.

06:15:18.640 --> 06:15:22.200
Kason never looked at any of that and felt like he was losing something.

06:15:22.200 --> 06:15:25.480
Buying a house in the hills, pulling up in a supercar, collecting all the things that

06:15:25.480 --> 06:15:26.480
say you've made it.

06:15:26.480 --> 06:15:28.200
None of that ever seemed to be important to him.

06:15:28.200 --> 06:15:29.880
And there's nothing wrong with warning those things.

06:15:29.880 --> 06:15:31.120
No, I think it's actually the opposite.

06:15:31.120 --> 06:15:32.760
I think he recognized that.

06:15:32.760 --> 06:15:36.240
That is not what people were looking for.

06:15:36.240 --> 06:15:38.520
And especially his audience.

06:15:38.520 --> 06:15:47.520
A lot of creators go in with exactly that goal in mind, but K-So sits in this rare category of someone who actually reached the I Made It moment and genuinely doesn't want it.

06:15:47.520 --> 06:15:53.520
It was never about like being huge, just like, because I, it didn't matter the money, you know, I just wanted to do what I loved for a living.

06:15:53.520 --> 06:15:59.520
I could be, you know, pinching pennies to make it, but as long as I get to stream every day instead of go to work, I was cool with that, yeah.

06:15:59.520 --> 06:16:05.520
But to be clear, it's not like he's allergic to money. He's the number three streamer on Twitch. The guy is doing just fine.

06:16:05.520 --> 06:16:09.040
There's a difference between making money and squeezing every lesson out of your audience

06:16:09.120 --> 06:16:11.020
He's never done any kind of cell phone

06:16:11.020 --> 06:16:14.760
He doesn't say yes to every brand that comes knocking and he doesn't manufacture

06:16:14.760 --> 06:16:15.760
CC's papers

06:16:15.760 --> 06:16:20.180
The box way he sees it you can't leave money on the table if it was never what you say

06:16:20.920 --> 06:16:26.540
Some of my most favorite jobs I ever had were the jobs Robert was making

06:16:26.720 --> 06:16:30.520
Wait was that a stream did he go driving around the numbers of the holy fuck

06:16:30.520 --> 06:16:34.540
He sees it you can't leave money on the table if it was never what you sat down for

06:16:34.540 --> 06:16:41.140
Some of my most favorite jobs I ever had were the jobs where I was making pennies.

06:16:41.140 --> 06:16:42.340
Yo, I'm not even finna like that.

06:16:42.340 --> 06:16:44.340
Did you do a driving stream or did you just drove around?

06:16:45.340 --> 06:16:47.340
Well, I think y'all just don't-

06:16:47.340 --> 06:16:48.940
Wait, someone needs to super chat.

06:16:48.940 --> 06:16:51.340
Why no Overwatch 10 year anniversary appearance?

06:16:51.340 --> 06:16:52.140
What are you talking about?

06:16:53.540 --> 06:16:55.140
I play- I was on Overwatch yesterday.

06:16:55.140 --> 06:16:55.740
What do you mean?

06:16:56.140 --> 06:16:58.940
I did more than my week's paycheck in one night.

06:16:58.940 --> 06:17:02.940
I'm talking about sitting in the parking lot of the dollar store.

06:17:02.940 --> 06:17:09.660
Having to call my mom be like, hey, can you spot me $50 for food for the rest of all the short? I just I just

06:17:11.300 --> 06:17:13.300
Didn't send in anything

06:17:24.300 --> 06:17:26.420
Dude, I'm not worried about twitch ad revenue

06:17:26.420 --> 06:17:31.280
I would rather people have a good viewing experience than make an extra, you know

06:17:31.280 --> 06:17:46.760
So that's the money half of the blueprint, but the blueprint isn't only about money,

06:17:46.760 --> 06:17:49.440
the other half of the blueprint is relevancy.

06:17:49.440 --> 06:17:54.000
The streaming world has a short memory, and the way you fight ads by staying in the conversation,

06:17:54.000 --> 06:17:57.600
podcasts, events, collabs, it all comes down to the same idea.

06:17:57.600 --> 06:18:00.880
Staying next to someone bigger than you and you get to share some of their spotlight.

06:18:00.880 --> 06:18:04.560
if you thought he was underperforming on the money side of the blueprint, just listen to this.

06:18:04.560 --> 06:18:08.800
In three years as one of the biggest streamers on the planet, he's done exactly one traditional

06:18:08.800 --> 06:18:15.120
collab. Jinxy. What's the furthest you've ever traveled? Florida, and that was one time to go

06:18:15.120 --> 06:18:20.960
to Jinxy's house. And that collab is almost worth the word, the only existing footage of K-So outside

06:18:20.960 --> 06:18:25.680
of his own house. My friend. I think this is like one of Jinxy's most viewed videos of all time,

06:18:25.680 --> 06:18:32.080
I remember right brought this up yesterday to me when we were chilling he said it's crazy that jeep see is

06:18:32.520 --> 06:18:38.240
Literally has the only recorded footage of me outside of my own stream set up like he's the only one

06:18:38.680 --> 06:18:43.640
That's got me out of my room matter of fact. It was crazy. I left the state. He was born

06:18:48.680 --> 06:18:53.740
It's just I'll not be getting home sick I get away from home for too long. I'm just man. I don't know

06:18:53.740 --> 06:18:56.580
And he doesn't like flying either, which I get.

06:18:56.580 --> 06:18:57.580
I don't like flying either.

06:18:57.580 --> 06:19:16.940
He hasn't shown up to a single one in person.

06:19:16.940 --> 06:19:20.100
According to the blueprint, all of those things just come with the territory of being in the

06:19:20.100 --> 06:19:21.420
top 1%.

06:19:21.420 --> 06:19:23.060
But Kesa was avoiding all of it.

06:19:23.060 --> 06:19:26.800
I kind of get that though. Dude, I've had so many things over the years where like

06:19:27.320 --> 06:19:30.740
Unless I really want to go to something like I've had a couple like

06:19:31.080 --> 06:19:35.440
Like go play test a game early get paid to go play test a game early and I'm like no I'm good

06:19:35.440 --> 06:19:37.720
And like I don't I don't honestly I'm not that interested in your game

06:19:37.720 --> 06:19:41.080
So like I'm not even if even for the money, I'm not I fly and I'm good

06:19:41.080 --> 06:19:46.280
I could all not going to a war just trying to only the only time I've ever traveled for stuff is like overwatch stuff

06:19:47.280 --> 06:19:51.380
Because like I was super involved with the game and super into it

06:19:51.380 --> 06:19:57.740
it. It was anything else? I don't even know. I think we went to Nashville, but like, Nashville

06:19:57.740 --> 06:20:03.500
was a much easier flight. Honestly, I was very nervous at first, but like after doing

06:20:03.500 --> 06:20:05.620
it a couple of times, I don't feel that bad anymore.

06:20:05.620 --> 06:20:09.220
Perhaps. Even the fact that he's only left the state of Arkansas once, you start to wonder

06:20:09.220 --> 06:20:12.140
if there's more to it than just not caring.

06:20:12.140 --> 06:20:15.140
All the shimmer words. Yeah, you're right. Shimmer words. I forgot about that. The first

06:20:15.140 --> 06:20:18.460
one I went to because I felt like, dude, the first one I felt like I really had to go because

06:20:18.460 --> 06:20:21.340
like I'd never been connected outside of like Overwatch stuff. And I was like, oh, I

06:20:21.340 --> 06:20:25.260
I really should like everyone everyone I knew was like yeah, you need to go you need to go you need to go

06:20:25.260 --> 06:20:27.580
And I went and do like it wasn't bad

06:20:27.580 --> 06:20:30.100
But like dude I kind of like like low-key regretted it later

06:20:30.100 --> 06:20:35.260
I was like dude I like I wasted my money wasted my time whatever and then the second one actually was much better

06:20:35.700 --> 06:20:38.100
Because I was much more outgoing and met a lot more people

06:20:38.700 --> 06:20:41.140
And also I had friends that were there which was a nice change

06:20:42.260 --> 06:20:47.860
I actually knew a lot of people at the second one the second one like like super was there aspen was there bogey

06:20:47.860 --> 06:20:49.860
sk shaking with me to

06:20:49.860 --> 06:20:55.300
And I knew a bunch of people too, like just from like meeting and passing so that one was much better

06:20:58.820 --> 06:21:03.260
I didn't tell you all this bro when I was changing setups to go

06:21:04.260 --> 06:21:06.540
From the trap house into the trailer

06:21:06.540 --> 06:21:13.160
I was literally a mental wreck for like a week straight

06:21:13.580 --> 06:21:16.040
Because I don't anybody else has this

06:21:16.040 --> 06:21:23.240
But dude, I have like some form of horrific OCD that I've had for years, that if something

06:21:23.240 --> 06:21:26.160
even minor changes, I'm gonna die.

06:21:26.160 --> 06:21:29.600
You see, OCD is one of the most misunderstood conditions out there.

06:21:29.600 --> 06:21:32.160
People hear the word...

06:21:32.160 --> 06:21:33.400
I know what he means.

06:21:33.400 --> 06:21:35.680
I don't have anything like that, but I know what he means.

06:21:35.680 --> 06:21:37.200
I have a hard time letting go of stuff.

06:21:37.200 --> 06:21:39.840
And picture someone who just likes things clean and organized.

06:21:39.840 --> 06:21:43.160
And while that can be a part of it, that's not exactly what it is.

06:21:43.160 --> 06:21:45.200
At its core, OCD is anxiety.

06:21:45.200 --> 06:21:49.700
For KSO, moving into a new house meant moving into an environment that was full of variables

06:21:49.700 --> 06:21:51.900
his brain hadn't had the chance to map out yet.

06:21:51.900 --> 06:21:56.460
Like when I take my hat off and put it on the counter, same spot every night.

06:21:56.460 --> 06:21:58.780
If it goes in a different spot, I'm dead.

06:21:58.780 --> 06:22:00.740
Everything becomes unpredictable and for s-

06:22:00.740 --> 06:22:06.120
I do that with like my keys and stuff and my CPAP and my phone and stuff and nothing

06:22:06.120 --> 06:22:07.700
like- nothing too bad and things.

06:22:07.700 --> 06:22:09.340
One thing that can't be controlled.

06:22:09.340 --> 06:22:12.820
Each unknown stacks on top of the last until his brain is sent into overdrive.

06:22:12.820 --> 06:22:14.700
Nothing like that, nothing too bad.

06:22:14.700 --> 06:22:19.060
Every time I would leave to work in the morning, I would go outside my house and I would have

06:22:19.060 --> 06:22:23.060
to check that my doormob was locked 37 times.

06:22:23.060 --> 06:22:27.580
I would have to start my drive to work, take a block back around in my house.

06:22:27.580 --> 06:22:28.580
Oh, my mom's like that actually.

06:22:28.580 --> 06:22:32.300
I would have to check it another 11 times and then I could go to work.

06:22:32.300 --> 06:22:33.300
My mom's like that.

06:22:33.300 --> 06:22:34.800
Which explains why his setup has barely changed a bit.

06:22:34.800 --> 06:22:38.020
You know how at times like leaving the house, I don't have to go back up and check her hair,

06:22:38.020 --> 06:22:40.140
like her curling iron, check the door, all that stuff.

06:22:40.140 --> 06:22:44.180
It's one of the places where his brain already knows the answers to all the questions.

06:22:44.180 --> 06:22:48.580
rules at his pace, all in an environment that makes him most comfortable. But that need

06:22:48.580 --> 06:22:52.020
for predictability doesn't stay contained to his house. It follows him everywhere.

06:22:52.020 --> 06:22:56.740
I went out in public three times in a row. I got recognized all three times. I never went

06:22:56.740 --> 06:23:01.220
outside again, bro. Like some people broke came on like, hey, yo, can I get a picture?

06:23:01.220 --> 06:23:06.420
Everybody started looking. I'm like, oh man, dude, I would bet. Oh, I actually get that. I feel that

06:23:06.420 --> 06:23:11.780
on a spiritual level. Outside of that room, he controls nothing. Oh, I really actually understand

06:23:11.780 --> 06:23:12.620
I'm that one.

06:23:12.620 --> 06:23:13.920
Most of the time, most people are cool about it,

06:23:13.920 --> 06:23:15.100
but like it does.

06:23:15.100 --> 06:23:18.540
It's a little nerve-wracking at first.

06:23:18.540 --> 06:23:20.060
It's still kind of it sometimes.

06:23:20.060 --> 06:23:20.900
I don't go that.

06:23:20.900 --> 06:23:22.420
I have like a sixth sense for it, dude.

06:23:22.420 --> 06:23:24.820
If somebody recognizes me in public, I know.

06:23:24.820 --> 06:23:27.140
I've told, dude, I've called it up to Shay so many times.

06:23:27.140 --> 06:23:28.620
Like when we first started dating, I'd tell her like,

06:23:28.620 --> 06:23:30.020
oh, I can tell when someone recognized me.

06:23:30.020 --> 06:23:31.300
She's like, oh yeah, sure.

06:23:31.300 --> 06:23:33.140
And then like I told her like, I started doing it

06:23:33.140 --> 06:23:35.380
and she was like, no, you really actually can tell.

06:23:35.380 --> 06:23:37.660
Cause it was times where like, dude,

06:23:37.660 --> 06:23:40.740
I walked into like a Costco and I saw some guy like,

06:23:40.740 --> 06:23:42.820
do a double take at me in the beginning of the story,

06:23:42.820 --> 06:23:45.140
I go, oh, that guy's gonna find me later, I can tell.

06:23:45.140 --> 06:23:47.020
And then like I'm checking out and it comes up behind me,

06:23:47.020 --> 06:23:48.180
goes, hey, are you fine?

06:23:48.180 --> 06:23:51.340
So I'm like, every damn time, like 20 minutes later,

06:23:51.340 --> 06:23:52.180
you know?

06:23:52.180 --> 06:23:53.380
No, never!

06:23:53.380 --> 06:23:55.380
When he's at home, it's easier to manage

06:23:55.380 --> 06:23:57.300
because, well, he's in his own house,

06:23:57.300 --> 06:23:59.980
but in public, there's no way to make the unknown stop.

06:23:59.980 --> 06:24:01.340
It's not only uncomfortable,

06:24:01.340 --> 06:24:02.900
but also insanely overwhelming.

06:24:02.900 --> 06:24:05.700
You have a better chance of actually winning

06:24:05.700 --> 06:24:08.120
the Powerball lottery than ever seeing me in public.

06:24:08.120 --> 06:24:10.220
That's how rare it is, no joke.

06:24:10.220 --> 06:24:14.060
The Blueprint says the path forward revolves around a constant state of evolution.

06:24:14.060 --> 06:24:16.780
The more you change, the newer things are, the more excited people are.

06:24:16.780 --> 06:24:20.180
I think when you get to his level too, you really can't go in public that often because

06:24:20.180 --> 06:24:21.660
people are just going to be on you all day.

06:24:21.660 --> 06:24:25.620
Imagine you want to go get dinner at a restaurant.

06:24:25.620 --> 06:24:27.500
There are people that don't know social boundaries, man.

06:24:27.500 --> 06:24:32.900
They might come up and ask for a photo, like sure, but you're having dinner with your significant

06:24:32.900 --> 06:24:35.900
other, with friends, like maybe a quick photo, right?

06:24:35.900 --> 06:24:38.900
But then they come back and they want to ask questions and they're like, hey, what are

06:24:38.900 --> 06:24:45.700
doing like whenever like you you you kind of lose that sense of privacy in public that you don't

06:24:45.700 --> 06:24:50.660
realize you take for granted every day as a normal person and that's kind of like where I like where

06:24:50.660 --> 06:24:57.140
I'm at as a streamer where like I pay all my bills pretty well I'm definitely known but not like

06:24:57.140 --> 06:25:00.260
I go to a restaurant I'm worried like people are going to come over and try to have conversations

06:25:00.260 --> 06:25:05.380
with me you know watch but for queso that path has never really been accessible the same way it is

06:25:05.380 --> 06:25:24.740
for everyone else. And yet here he is. Behind everything, the awards, the numbers, the journey

06:25:24.740 --> 06:25:28.820
from a race meal to the number 3 spot on Twitch. Almost nothing has actually changed.

06:25:35.380 --> 06:25:38.660
either that'd be a dream come true too bro he's been grounded in the fact that

06:25:38.660 --> 06:25:42.020
streaming was never about being the very best it was always about building a

06:25:42.020 --> 06:25:47.700
life worth living for himself and for the people he loves wait mom I can't

06:25:47.700 --> 06:25:51.620
believe what I'm seeing oh my goodness I can't believe what I'm seeing

06:25:51.620 --> 06:25:55.620
we're back in 10 million is that a cooking stream

06:25:55.620 --> 06:25:59.140
no way we're actually back in 10

06:25:59.380 --> 06:26:04.340
we're in 10 million let's go

06:26:04.340 --> 06:26:06.340
Ten million on YouTube!

06:26:06.340 --> 06:26:09.340
By the way, that is the comfiest looking chair I've ever goddamn seen.

06:26:09.340 --> 06:26:11.340
I gotta ask, what is that chair?

06:26:11.340 --> 06:26:14.340
His mom was there before any of this made sense.

06:26:14.340 --> 06:26:16.340
She brought me some balloons in here!

06:26:16.340 --> 06:26:17.340
Yeah!

06:26:17.340 --> 06:26:19.340
She brought me some balloons!

06:26:19.340 --> 06:26:21.340
Yeah, you can get balloons in here!

06:26:21.340 --> 06:26:23.340
You can get balloons in here!

06:26:25.340 --> 06:26:27.340
Before all of the awards and money,

06:26:27.340 --> 06:26:30.340
before tens of thousands of people were waiting for him to go live,

06:26:30.340 --> 06:26:33.340
she was the only one who pushed him to trash trading in the first place.

06:26:33.340 --> 06:26:53.860
That's actually so sweet.

06:26:53.860 --> 06:26:57.700
And his dad, the man who spent his whole life doing the kind of work nobody claps for.

06:26:57.700 --> 06:27:01.540
My dad, for example, like, dude, this whole life, just working.

06:27:01.540 --> 06:27:06.420
He's had multiple back surgeries, multiple wrist surgeries, multiple foot surgeries,

06:27:06.420 --> 06:27:09.340
all from just working his whole life.

06:27:09.340 --> 06:27:12.580
The man you watched and worked alongside with, deal with no complaints.

06:27:12.580 --> 06:27:13.580
I worked with my dad.

06:27:13.580 --> 06:27:15.060
We're both maintenance men.

06:27:15.060 --> 06:27:16.060
Maintenance ain't easy work.

06:27:16.060 --> 06:27:17.060
You know, you're all in your seats.

06:27:17.060 --> 06:27:18.060
No, it's not.

06:27:18.060 --> 06:27:20.540
Dude, I don't want to do maintenance on my own house.

06:27:20.540 --> 06:27:23.980
False, it's you're crawling up in addicts, you know, all that just nasty.

06:27:23.980 --> 06:27:24.980
The same man that taught him.

06:27:24.980 --> 06:27:25.980
Nasty is backbreaking.

06:27:25.980 --> 06:27:28.900
The one who told him to quit his regular job and do what he loved.

06:27:28.900 --> 06:27:31.020
I remember the night we hit 5,000.

06:27:31.020 --> 06:27:33.860
I was like, all right, tomorrow I'm going to call my boss.

06:27:33.860 --> 06:27:36.140
I remember I got him to call because I was scared.

06:27:36.140 --> 06:27:39.100
Like, hey, boss, you know, I'm playing video games for a living,

06:27:39.100 --> 06:27:42.900
but it'd sound better coming from my dad because my dad was essentially like his right hand man.

06:27:42.900 --> 06:27:43.380
Yep.

06:27:43.380 --> 06:27:44.220
But yeah.

06:27:44.220 --> 06:27:48.220
So when streaming became a reality, he made sure that the two people who spent their lives

06:27:48.220 --> 06:27:50.180
building him up never had to work again.

06:27:50.180 --> 06:27:53.740
What has been like the most fulfilling thing that you've run into in your career?

06:27:53.740 --> 06:27:58.520
Just that everybody gets to chill and get away from the jobs.

06:27:58.520 --> 06:27:59.920
They hate it and everything like that.

06:27:59.920 --> 06:28:01.360
And we could all just chill and do this.

06:28:01.480 --> 06:28:02.800
Well, that's the best thing.

06:28:03.000 --> 06:28:05.480
I'm gonna say they're retired because they do it because, you know, they don't

06:28:05.480 --> 06:28:06.920
want to just chill and do nothing.

06:28:06.920 --> 06:28:08.600
They do a lot of stuff for me like my dad.

06:28:08.640 --> 06:28:11.280
If I need something to go get or something, he goes and gets it.

06:28:11.280 --> 06:28:14.360
My mom handles all the, the background, like all of them.

06:28:14.760 --> 06:28:16.920
If you ask Case, that's the whole story right there.

06:28:17.240 --> 06:28:20.800
In a world where overnight success has a way of quietly hollowing people out.

06:28:20.920 --> 06:28:22.520
Case will never let any of it change him.

06:28:22.520 --> 06:28:26.840
The only thing I want to be is a place for people to go for four hours a night,

06:28:26.840 --> 06:28:32.520
forget about life, you know, crack some jokes, you know, have a good time and just just chill out.

06:28:32.520 --> 06:28:35.720
And that's why this story isn't over. Keso has already crossed the line and

06:28:35.720 --> 06:28:40.200
out of the most. He turned his dream into real life. He helped his family stop working. He became

06:28:40.200 --> 06:28:45.400
the place he always wanted to be for others. So whatever happens next is just icing on the cake.

06:28:47.480 --> 06:28:50.280
Dan, that was a good video. That was a really damn good video.

06:28:53.320 --> 06:28:57.240
Y'all for real low-key making drink y'all for low-key making dreams come true, bro

06:28:59.200 --> 06:29:01.880
That was a damn good video

06:29:03.360 --> 06:29:05.360
Damn

06:29:06.800 --> 06:29:08.800
Oh

06:29:09.080 --> 06:29:11.080
That was a damn good video

06:29:11.760 --> 06:29:15.840
All right guys, I think that's a good place to call it. I think that's a good place to call it

06:29:15.840 --> 06:29:17.840
I

06:29:19.680 --> 06:29:22.800
Chani that'll be us someday. You know, that'll be us someday

06:29:22.800 --> 06:29:28.020
I know we I mean don't get me wrong. We haven't fucking very well made in in

06:29:28.600 --> 06:29:30.320
Rivals and overwatch and stuff like that

06:29:30.320 --> 06:29:35.560
But maybe one day that'll be us where we just kind of do whatever all the time, you know, maybe that'll be us someday

06:29:35.600 --> 06:29:42.140
We'll see. All right guys. Love y'all. I'm listening to you guys fuss to actually hold on the price. I need to fuss to shouldn't that's to be resetting soon

06:29:45.840 --> 06:29:50.280
Oh, it already reset. Okay. I'm gonna send you guys the flats to have fun if that's to you too

06:29:50.280 --> 06:29:52.200
But I know we're sending you so you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here

06:29:52.440 --> 06:29:55.600
I'll be on pride tomorrow, but I'm gonna be late tomorrow because tomorrow

06:29:55.600 --> 06:29:59.340
I've been waiting for the holiday weekend to be over because I got a lot of things I gotta do this week

06:29:59.340 --> 06:30:03.880
I needed places to be open. So I love y'all. See you later. Have a good night. Bye
