I think actually before Jay took it, so Loki also very formidable on this type of seed, but I mean this is his roots, Rose.
This is what Feinberg is going to feel most comfortable playing for sure.
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, you know, long, long history of all advancements from Feinberg, so he's very, very familiar with the Desert Temple.
And also, you know, there can be kind of a lot of potentials for different kind of decision making choices with this seed type as well.
you know, depending on if you are going to have, depending on your food that you get from the
chests looking for your lava pool, are you going to be able to find a source of gravel? Are you
going to have to go for a woodlight? How do you choose what direction you go in for trees? You
know, there's a lot of kind of little decisions that have to be made that can kind of see
overworld sort of diverge. And I think, again, as we've said, like for a player like Feinberg,
who is really strong on his kind of decision making and his kind of play choices, I think this
This could be kind of a really good fuss seed for him.
Yeah, I mean, this can set the tone.
It's going to be interesting to see how it plays out
for these two runners here.
And we're going to take a quick little second to stall.
Just a bit more get the players in the lobby.
They're getting all the warm-up.
We'll warm up, take a pause again.
Like, low key?
Low key.
But like, let's move on here with the warm-up.
Let's get going here.
I'm excited to start the action today.
But there's something that's interesting, especially
with the new seed pick system.
because if Feinberg wins Temple, he can't pick Temple anymore.
We're in previous seasons of playoffs.
And Feinberg's spoken about this on stream,
and also just the range of what about how he prefers this seed type system.
So interesting to kind of pick it for your first seed.
I mean, obviously it does set the tone,
but I'm curious as we get more used to this.
What is up, Chats?
Welcome back to the stream eight hours in change after we ended
We are back. We are back. We are back. We are back, man
And I don't you have a rivals tournament to go to it's hired
Don't you have a rivals tournament to go to yes, it does not start at 8 in the morning luckily so
That is not a concern, but you are correct guys a little bit of an agenda today
We have two things going on. Number one, we're going to be watching five different matches from
MCSR ranked from the Minecraft speedrunning ranked season 10 playoffs.
We got a big announcement coming up around 1030 today. So just a heads up for that. Okay.
Two, all right. After this, we are directly switching gears to the rivals of Ether2
local that I am hosting. We have professional commentators. I'm just gonna as a heads up
not be there for the whole thing because I have to travel from here to there and like,
you know, eat lunch with my beautiful girlfriend in between, but I will be there for for commentary
for like the top eight. So that's the day today, y'all. That's the day today. Anyway,
for this is our day one of the last week in a playoffs, we're about to watch Feinberg
versus low key, which was supposed to be around a 16 match last weekend, but Feinberg got sick.
And I think there was like some Mother's Day plans. So they couldn't get it done. So anyway,
this is not a, neither of these players have played yet. This is weekend two,
but neither of these players have played yet. So, you know, curious what's going to go. We did our
pick-ups my prediction was Fineburg would get his ass beats no shade to the
big man I like the Fineburg streams what does he know about Minecraft speedrun
Call Hax? What's up with Hax?
What's Hax need?
Hax needs you. What's he need?
I went to his stream, he's watching AI Tum Tum Soho.
Brother, I don't think he needs me. I think he needs God.
Okay? And I cannot provide that for him.
It is what it is.
Anyway, we got Curry away in rows. We're going to be helping us guide through the first matchup after that
It's going to be every player remaining in the event playing so today's I think the most fun day of playoffs
Because it's one of the only days that every person plays
I woke up near minutes ago, and I checked the first thing I did is I checked to see if the
MCSR stream was live and it wasn't. I was so happy. I was worried to be live and the matches
start directly at 8, it did not start directly at 8.
How's the Warcraft 3 Tournament going?
Tyler lost his first match to Hera.
2-1 though, seems like it was close enough.
I think simply destroyed Hera in the semifinals matchup.
And then it's going to be Tyler vs. Maxon.
Simply he's playing so well.
Simply he's a bit of a gamer.
Isn't Tyler a GM now in chess?
No, he's not particularly close to a GM.
Very very far I would say.
very far. Oh, we're jumping in. We're jumping in their temple. The good lucks are out fine
burger the third seed low key the 11th seed. We're going desert temple on this first seed
and it's right there in front of them. The gravel is going to be right in the river.
The parkour is coming out to get in the temple and we're going to see what they get.
Very very close kind of basically neck and neck at this point as well. Should put my chat over me
Absolutely nice little movement to start. Oh, if I'm actually gonna go for high TNT here look
Six iron seven iron excuse me 13 gold
Inventory I look how quickly Loki organized the hot bar from
The bottom of the temple here does the head hitters out the door. I mean, this is what I mean Rose like his just top level speed
Is is just a joy to watch. So we're on a village seed. No desert temple
Seed is so so easy as kind of find kind of starting to find his feet with you know, so he has
Now just to just to clarify for everyone. This is this is round of 16 losers eliminated playoffs as a single elimination bracket
something to note and
Feinberg chose Loki as his opponent. Loki is a two-time
MCS our ranked champion
You know, Perlin to the fourth. You have another golden apple for I think you got third place last season or some shit
Runners low key gonna be just slightly ahead of fine break here three time. So fuck my bed overworld
We're gonna see this never looks like for low key with a phenomenal portal low key in at 124 bread for fine
I mean looks really dominant in the first minute or so fine Berg in what 130
Two eight second late, but I didn't think I saw look at the bridges by low key start
I don't know.
There is.
I don't know.
Look at that.
Stables.
Is this stables or bridge?
It's bridge.
I think it's just, I can't see.
Is this stables or bridge?
It's going to be a double triple.
This is something we see a lot, Rose.
Like I have had conversations with, you know, Fimer, Silver, Dugal.
What do you do?
If you get a double triple in playoffs, what do you do?
Do you play it?
Do you go for the gap play?
because in I think in triple the gap games, it's a lot more
questionable. I think low key going for triple the gap here.
Low key is going for the gap. I was going to say, I think the
consensus is most people play double triple because you don't
want your opponent to play double triple and then they hit
it and then you're behind but low key. Maybe just knowing that
his mechanics are so impressive can make up time elsewhere in
the scene goes for the more consistent play here. Oh, I
didn't know you could get the goals from here. Low key do some
TNT I don't know you can get the gold from here other section of the stables here
No, gonna decide to mine it entirely
TNT and stable so far, but immediately rose to completely double triple versus triple to gap
Okay, the way I think I understand this is that triple to gap gets way more gold
But is relatively slower right because you have to go from the top of the triple
I had a nightmare about four to nine last night and then
Double triple you get less gold, but you're at the top of the fort and you have all the chests
And you can get out faster if you get lucky
So right now fine bird right as an example of 17 obby
So if he gets three more obby, he's good and he made the right decision if he does it
He has to go find it and Loki is fully out and go find it can mean
Find a chest with it go get more gold to trade like really nice pearl hangoff
So he has to he maybe has to go to the good gap. Oh
He's making a crazy play
What is he considering looking for anything? I wonder if he's gonna go for a home portal play
He is just going for holy portal in playoffs give off throw. Okay. That's insane
That's insane. Okay. He basically lost the run off of double triple this run is over
He went for double triple. He didn't hit the high roll and now I think the run is cocked. I think the run is cocked
There could be obby in the fort. Yeah, is that XQC chests
The issue is Loki just you know, he played it safer, but he also played it very fast his triple to gap
wasn't like that much slower kind of in the clear now one other fact I think he
might have been in the fort first oh my god he raised the render trying to find
this five rods and doesn't have to get a seventh because he's not home Portland
so if this plays drop it didn't so Loki still needs to find one more could have
been able to put Feinberg in a really great spot there Feinberg can't go off
five has to spend this time now just trying to get one more rod whereas
He has the pearl hang though, which is kind of nice
Okay, low key's gonna build his portal
He's blinding weird like where is he
Did he just blind randomly for funsies?
I'm gonna gas wait for seven. I know but right now he's pussy fun around the fork is on the wrong part of the four straight
So I mean like look how much time he's just wasting trying to find the stray to be fair look
He's got to do the same thing, but he only needs one rod
Faster and then he can kind of look for strays a lot easier knowing exactly what direction needs to go into after rather than trying to find
This corner, but I think fine does not be a pearl hangs on his screen
But he still obviously has to so in Feinberg's dream world
He hopes that he doesn't find a rod quickly because the longer it takes for Feinberg to find a rod
It means it'll the longer it'll take for Loki to get the rod. I think because he already found the spawner
I'm gonna render a little bit here and there's the spawner. This is the same spawner that Feinberg is at now
They just got away with spawns, but I don't think he's gonna get it because Feinberg didn't get it either
Yeah, well, he's not gonna get it on these two. He's gonna wait. He's got the way for another spawn
Precrafting as well during this. Okay, so Feinberg still has to calc
Yeah, but the difference is low key already measured of course. So even though Fineberg is in a slightly
Better spot than he was a little bit ago still basic, but low keys out low keys already napping and low keys to be able to go to chords
Clearing out inventory as he goes and is in a really nice spot here. I think this runs cooked
I think his run is fucking cooked. Oh, wow. He took a lot of damage though. It's kind of bad
Yeah, plenty of explosives. He's got plenty of wool spare if he wants to grab any and he's slowing down a lot for the piglin here
And you need for a player like Loki to get to do I don't know Loki just lost a lot of time there
He looked like me Loki is obviously still making up for the time now. He's also digging down there
He's gonna blind first. I mean, but I don't know he lost a lot of time
I'm looking for something in the spike not it's if yes, because that wasn't a great spike either fine bird
Navs is better really good spike now, but open the door. Maybe slight fine birds not going the same way
Oh, but low keys in well, but low key. Oh, no, they both did hungry set
Oh, it's probably over
It's probably over unless low key chokes the zero where I don't know if it's gonna matter here
It is not the easiest zero. It's back ninety four. I want to yeah, low keys in like eight seconds earlier
So not super easy, but low key. I mean, he's low key, bro
I'm not worried about him missing the zero and he's gonna get the first bed off. Oh
Bad damage good damage so far as well. I just agree with that
Doesn't have arrows though and Fimer does yeah, so maybe Fimer can get back a little bit here
But no, it's not going to be enough low.
He gets a really nice last anchor.
Dang, that was close.
I think a two plus two Feinberg ties that up.
Low key had arrows.
It would have been more intense of a lead, but low.
He's going to take that first seed really interesting
because of how different.
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
It was once they got to the basket.
Yeah, that was like, you know, find that going for that was like a close match.
Jeff because Feinberg was down seven seconds in the bastion
And then made up a bunch of time this this I think finding stronghold is actually wrong
But I do think he was like 20 seconds behind. Yeah on the fortress
And he saved so much time
Mostly from low key with the the fucking hold up. I'm gonna refresh somebody said I'm
Delayed, you know the fact that I think it's not wrong. It's not wrong
that
He did the calculation for the stronghold a minute seven seconds later, but I think it's inaccurate to say
He was a minute seven seconds ahead
because
I mean Feinberg entered the net he had a pearl hang
To the calc with all the rods like they did the he had seven rods when he did it low
He had five mechanics in the early game
are just different otherworldly I mean not this one 24 temple enter is obscene
like that is just not a time you see that often in the game and it's just
crazy and yes the finding stronghold split low key is ahead by a minute or so
but that is very misleading because of how long it took for him to get that last
rod and find the last spawner and all of that stuff but you're low key though you
still gonna be feeling really good I mean you forgot arrows in the bastion but you
made a more consistent play I mean low key went crazy he's got to be on
fineberg here low key work heard you know we just saw you know from the very
beginning of the seed just so so quick you know you know no mistakes kind of
made but I mean if you're fineberg I don't think you feel slightly too bad
about that game because that was just double triple and I think you put
himself in a position to win even though double triple failed him not so much
like flexible but you know he could he could push further into the ball without
kind of worrying about where his pearl hangs were going. He went for the high roll and it didn't work
out, but I don't think it'd feel bad. I wonder if we'll take as aggressive of a lie in the future.
Like it's not necessary. It's not necessary. Whoa. I would say that word weird. It's not necessary
to, um, I think go that aggro.
Because I think he can just, I mean, he can just triple to God. No.
But maybe he thought Loki, what, I don't know, tough. All right, village seeds, fine birds pick.
Level rose there's so many
Small decisions in the routing about how much food you're grabbing about how you I mean you see hard toggles happen for lava pools
There's so much high-level tech in village that honestly some of it to still yet to be discovered
Yeah, definitely and kind of as we were saying it's it's always it's kind of more micro decisions and you have fine
Berg
Loki looted the chest before deciding on triple to get well did fine bird go straight for double triple
I didn't I didn't see that
getting like that's from where I'm getting my hay bales looking for Flynn as you say with kind of toggling hard to look for that kind of fire spread
Obviously the harder difficulty the faster the fire spreads
And it means just kind of easier to hopefully find one of those level all right. We're in
Oliver's moving us right along here getting us back on schedule gonna be the second we have five matches today boys
We gotta go you saw looking for like half a second
Open that pie shirt. Maybe see if you have a BT reading real quick. I mean you never know could happen
But already we're seeing a complete difference in play here by more getting two beds from the
Hotel house low-key deciding to get hay bales instead both now getting to the blacksmith and it's going to be I like grabbing the bed
That's with no reason to kill the golem rose iron pickaxe for iron and these runners are gonna be set
Iron pickaxe for iron you make a bucket you make a shovel which is what find out is gonna
Take the time. Oh, you don't make a shovel
From your village houses as well, but now you're gonna see runners are kind of looking around looking where they're gonna find
They're gravel from where they're gonna find that lava pool a little bit harder if you've got
Dude, where are you gonna find the gravel from it's a good-ass question
Looking around as they are mining the wood as well. So Loki picked up four bread total
He takes three
to look for the lava pool, though, because of the way
that's going to go up in the desert.
Five of them take three, bro.
They're going higher than the plane,
so it's a little bit awkward to really see
if there's a lava pool in that direction.
But these runners are going to be very familiar with the filter.
They're going to be going to be exactly that.
We see the lava pool.
Where's the gravel?
There's the gravel.
Five of them does spot a lava pool,
and low key goes a completely different direction
to section up the mountain.
And sees the lava pool now, and it's going to be a whole
difference that we had last seed, but it was low key.
Low key's going to be so much slower.
Five of them are going to have that at least,
I want to say a 10 second lead here. Whoa.
Same curry. Absolutely.
And just the slight misplay by Feinberg places, the gravel gravel falls
because he saw a big patch of gravel where it's in what's, what's called,
let's call it one 40 seventies in one 40 seventies in.
Let's take a look at low key on one.
I thought the soul sand was 50 five is in 155.
So eight second difference.
I do think that his portal was probably one or two seconds faster though.
It'll be interesting to see the terrain these players take.
Feinberg deciding to lose height here to go down to the terrain.
Low-key.
Feinberg be lining in this direction.
Take this upward terrain here.
Are they going different ways?
A lot more conventional at a high level.
It's actually, I mean, you're seeing Feinberg now have to mine
through this another act to get back up here.
Low-key's not going to have to do that.
Going to have a much better sight line on this match.
One goes high, one goes low.
See on Feinberg's behavior.
Which one's better?
I'm very curious where this.
I think Feinberg's could be better though,
because he needs blocks to build here.
He's getting a lot just naturally, but is gonna be a little too greedy for the box. Oh, how many blocks
I mean, I think it's so many blocks for
Getting into this fashion. I mean wants to use netherrack for
Potential route. I think he was greedy with the blocks there. So that's something to keep an eye out for as well
Yeah, you know find choosing to kind of gather more netherrack as he was going to kind of limit the transfer of your wood
I think that was 51
Versus you know 58, okay
It's like a seven second difference seven second difference, but Feinberg has 25 blocks to build
Yeah, I mean it is gonna be really close here. I mean just
And low key has his wood and you do need you do need
Blocks in any bridge setup a good amount of blocks to be fair
That was kind of a half-assed one though. I've never seen that but I'm sure it's low keys also looks pretty half-assed
high up at certain their gold block break to go for it in general you've seen this play style
matter up different points I mean maybe if you know there's not piglins in a certain area
especially because Loki already had checked out chess knew that there weren't piglins that
we're gonna be a grow on the chest break is gonna go for the auto phone here but no piglins
are mad rose for Loki and five right now after a successful suit is getting both of the same
issue where they broke the gold they shot no pigs following them so fine bird broke maybe broke
the chest to aggro.
Loki hit a pig to aggro.
Didn't kind of have the same sort of trail of piglins
running out there.
They both got a bad amount of piggies.
Very interesting.
I mean, I guess maybe had forgotten
that he didn't aggro them or something,
but I've never seen something like that.
That was actually pretty funny.
Not a lot of obby.
11 for both.
Not a lot of a lot, to be honest.
They should get everything they need from the trades.
They both have the iron store from the blacksmith as well,
They're not going to need to precraft that and Loki getting a really nice pearl hangoff. I mean,
Fineberg is just pretty similar as well. He didn't go for the iron sword. He didn't pick it out of
the blacksmith. I don't know what happened here, but Loki's in the lead. He has more obby. Did he go
for the chest or something? What is Fineberg waiting on? Can he leave? That's a great point.
I mean we also see people go
Yeah, Loki's fully out. What is fine. We're waiting for here 20 pearls. Maybe it could be the what are you waiting for?
Another pro trade yet, and that's gonna be it for Fineberg. So it's gonna leave now
You'll may have 20 pearls
We have the stats now. Oh my gosh. I think of that. See amazing. I know we didn't have this last weekend
Wow, look at that so 25 for each play pearls is fine a lot of explosives
I don't know a low key was out way earlier somehow fine burger has done an incredible job because he's out first
Got hit by a skeleton
Whoa, whoa, whoa, the pearl really heads up play and it's
Again, yeah, yeah as he was kind of trying to throw his whoa, whoa, whoa
Yeah, that was actually crazy heads up play. Yeah, I think he might have been waiting for a second fire as maybe chance to yet
Because he does have to
because of course he does low key is the best player in the world far none at not hesitating.
Every single play low key makes even if it's an accident or a misplay or some insane thing
happens to him like just what happened to him right now he so fine birds going crazy
on the streets is four rods but he doesn't have the spawner maybe he knows where it is
though five now okay he does have the spawner it's right there away from the skeleton even
We were still getting shot and it's just so impressive that he's able to do that and like he's still blowing up by the way
I guess he has so much string he might as well because he also picked up today. Yeah, I guess there's no point in not
He literally needs one
Recognizing that we're having a low key low key guy hit by skeleton off of like some structure
Okay, fine, we're getting his pre crafts out not blinding it so low key blinds first here
He doesn't have nearly as many rods as fine bird though fine is fine bird can leave
Once he gets his calc assuming a pearl doesn't break
Okay, it's over water nothing more miserable than calcing over water
Okay, is fine bird gonna go for the the eye as soon as he is
Right here gets the rod on the third. So is again gonna be slightly ahead here fine bird
Okay, drop all the way down. Okay, so fine birds out pro to land correctly though for the portal
So low keys also look how is low keys still having a precraft fine bird
He's already precrafted but wants to make a golden apple for the tour like how is low key out first
You know, I mean like he fell in love. He lost like 30 seconds
Oh, it's low keep building up
Why high but falls down because I'm trying to get away from these big magma cubes
Fuckin all the way down to the basalt magma
Wow look at this decision bro look at this decision by Loki
Underground another portal holy shit, bro. This guy's insane
This guy's insane
And doesn't need to worry about doing a hunger reset because he made took the time to make five birds should win this one pretty easy
But low keys clutches have been kind of beautiful
He's gonna be way slower because he also has a hundred reset
I'm going to make that golden apple. Wow. This is such an easy hero to go for the hunger reset here
I don't already completely forget if it was cage there
Actually, is it an easy hero a hard time go to 95 the port of him is gonna find it now fine
We're getting to a 94
Get the first battle up that was close
I have explosives as we can see on the bottom of our screen
So is gonna be okay here as long as I thought it was easy
But you have to build up a lot and it is going to be enough and Farmer is going to tie this series up one to one after seed two
Yeah, amazing from fine, but I think one one, you know a little bit lucky in terms of the most but taking that I mean here's the deal
It would have been a really close match had low key not
Fell off the second time because I think low key would have blinded first
But he needed to hunger reset and I think he needed to precraft still a couple of things
So that would have been a really close one. That would have been a really close one.
But Feinberg takes it.
And we go to a game three.
Loki probably like 20 seconds at least in the in the fortress split.
I mean, it only shows 15 there, but I think it was significantly more than that.
And then again, the difference between, I mean, you see actually a lot of that in the,
the found strongholds, but like Loki actually makes up eight seconds, which is kind of crazy given everything that he had to deal with there
But then also really struggled on the nav
I think if Loki was really able to get that nav and then we also saw him fail a little bit building up to the zero at the end
There so maybe would have been tough for him, but had a chance to still be in it
I mean Rose despite the play styles despite these runners being so different
These matches have been really really close
Yeah, Drake man ice Drake ice man review when probably never brother
Not really my cup of tea this seed you can see it's back and forth
You know, it's only at that kind of end end to it the very very end where we kind of see the gaps
I like passion fruit. It's been so back and forth so far
So I think it's gonna be like this for another couple of seeds. Definitely passion it from all the way
Not to me we're tied one to one now. It's now low key seed pick. We've seen two
Overworld or to overworld obviously they're all over worlds. You seem to join minecraft
Isn't that you know I'm not gonna touch coming you guys are temple and billet so far
Do you think low key maybe wants to try and get fine to the ocean here on shipwreck or buried treasure potentially?
Potentially, but he has also got the room portal option. I think maybe
Yeah, if you're if you're low key, maybe you just think right let passion for the only Drake song I ever listened to
I'll see this is where I'm Anderson. I hope you get hit by a bus
I'm sorry
I just saw your name and I fucking had to I apologize
It is not a legacy that you want to have it just as what you do have
I do I but I don't believe you just to be clear
There's no universe the only Drake song you listen to his passion for
Surely, you know last name ever first name greatest like a spring to ankle boy. I have nothing to play with surely
Awkward seed type that low keys or
Yeah, I think it's gonna be interesting. I mean we had the really interesting shipwreck seed
Last weekend with what Flavia you said today. I got a fucking large to maple iced coffee
A little maple in that bitch. Are you jealous of squeaks at all jealous in what sense? No ship after gathering words
Whereas beef did it the other way around so, you know, if we have a potentially slightly further away ship this time as well
You might see that
Different decision-making in the overall
Whoa, that's actually a great point and something that I that jogged my memory on is low key is actually in playoffs again
I don't I can't really think about it. Yeah, so there's rebel to a skater today. I love your tip videos
Hello from France bone drawer money
Shears
What so that could also be something we see here with yeah, I think I agree a little bit
I would have seen low keys a BT enjoy a lot of weird things can open here
I always love watching the food situation on shipwreck seeds. How'd you sleep after eight hours of monkey ball?
I only got like maybe six hours of sleep difference that can happen in a I say it a bit too late
I was watching
LCK I was watching K drill cast T1 versus Gen G. I only got to see
Game one and some of the answer. So I don't know who actually won. I assume Gen G one number
But they are gonna get a TNT and really nice food for this game
Yeah, really kind of healthy amount food
11 about seven bread fuck me well, I think I saw the magma pool
I think both players saw the magma pool just behind the
Just behind what this TNT for a low key a really awkward spot normally you got damn, bro
I like stayed up. So I'd like I'm like my eyes are like fucking
Change on the TNT a mother like this and in cages like point in a tree so I've never seen frozen
Check have you guys seen frozen to stone axe?
Immediately and maybe that was a process for low key take I'm like trying to watch and I just can't I gave up earlier
And maybe that's the high release plan for I mean I've never seen that a plan because that's crazy
Yeah, really interesting decision rather than kind of maximizing your kind of dirt and your wood books
Just going for you know, let me get this exposed stone here
So though I don't have to worry about having to crop my pickaxe and then having to go back into crops
Afterwards and it's a weird kind of underwater lava pool as well here. Okay, very close these players
But they should be able to handle it what I was noticing two different methods fine bird closes the lava great
Loki deals with the
Lava bill water pool while on these rates here
I think Loki is more ahead than it looks because of these winter rates
I mean, we'll see how many more Feinberg has to grab here.
But Loki's going to be able to get by a backflip.
143 entry.
Yeah, like five seconds.
Feinberg is in at 140, 150, 149.
Six, maybe.
A little bit of a long time, most of that
catching up with the gravel rates.
Both players, I think, see the bastion as well.
Try and see.
Maybe a little bit different, but around a six-second lead.
I think it's Bridge.
I think it is another Bridge bastion.
And this is actually where the play for Loki's going
to backfire a little bit, he's going
to have to grab more blocks at some point.
So Feinberg has, yeah, Feinberg has a lot of blocks.
This is what Feinberg considers his power,
is that he likes grabbing a fuck ton of blocks.
And Loki's going high with that block.
And a lot of the time, it ends up being a waste of time
because he doesn't need all the blocks.
He has been rewarded in probably the max way
you could be rewarded.
I'm just gonna be taking the damage
from the lower pigs now, has to loop all the way around
just to get to the challenge.
His pathing was kinda ass.
He didn't know had less blocks,
Now it doesn't even matter for the block count.
Yeah, I don't know why his padding was so much worse.
Yeah, and Feinberg using his oak doors there as well,
just to try and maximize the amount of blocks.
I feel like Feinberg always forces going through the underside
of the bridge bastion, which I just don't think is necessary.
Any of his wood.
But yeah, as you say, Loki kind of just a lot faster
kind of getting into the bastion.
That was, I mean, crazy to see.
I think Loki played that so unbelievably well.
I mean, it's not the flashiest thing to talk about terrain now, but that was really impressive from Loki at a
I thought that was rec wrap
I'll give it to you curryways looking hot
He's running fucking sub one hour 10k
Well, but should be okay here Loki already set up the auto funnel
And it's a low keys like 10 12 second head for either runner because it looks like they kind of walks off the side of this
Oh my god.
Okie finding a couple others underneath the Bastion, but, Rose, it's not looking great
for either runner here, to be honest, on the big count.
I think he's saying in terms of the amount of pigs.
He seemed to have a lot of crossbow piglins.
He got down to three hearts, so kind of having to waste a little bit of time with healing
up and kind of...
He's going to have golden carrots, so food will not be a problem.
I would be shocked if either runner dies.
Absolutely.
Okay, so I was over a stack of gold to trade. I'm curious what it's gonna be when Feinberg checks is Loki could still be here for a
Hot second. I mean has his fine. We're gonna try to get these pigs up. He's got a few pigs just kind of lurking a while on that
No fortress on the wide macro. So it's 42 gold to trade. You have like a pig hanging out next door
account at the moment
19 obby
No pearls
No string
Loki could go 24 pearls 20 obby. I think Loki could leave
He's kind of low on explosives
Yeah, so Loki's not happy with the amount of explosives. That's fair. He only has enough for four
I think that's enough. I think Loki can leave now
It's trying to get a few more explosives, but still not getting them. I don't think yeah 34 string
You bet to anchor assuming he uses one bed for a blaze bed. So wants to get one more. I think it's 50
He is now has three actually don't know the the string trains are pretty abysmal
I just assume they haven't I think they can both go. I think they can both go
But I think I think I'm lucky had a kind of a money pro hang. I don't know where fine birds pro hang is
Even more for even more explosives. Fineberg's a greedy little piggy. They're done like he's not getting any more
Fineberg left with nine explosives low key left with six explosives
I'm not really getting that many more low. He's gonna be pulling straight onto this corner at the well
I don't know six is more than enough, right? I guess I think it can be kind of hard
This is what top of a runner savvy sword. It can be kind of hard
To do the dragon zero cycle with more anchors than that if you're trying to push the pace
fineberg
Just now gonna get to the fortress and in the bad part as well
But does have two strays here so three strays in fact
But it's still gonna have to find a spawner as low pretty man this boner pop up
Yeah, and again just seeing Loki deciding to
Measure a lot pearl he's going for a poll hang as well to share the sheep to try and get more explosives
But I think so. Yeah, so low key was not happy with the amount of explosives
He kind of got paid off because he sheared the sheep for the beds time to get more explosives from low key
Could I low key has so many explosives now help low key's chillin?
You're able to blaze bed now as well having
That's what I really like that. He's able to now blaze bed much low. I think low key is a
Barring a massive mistake. I think he's won the seat. I mean, I guess
They're not at the same spawner already. So the calc could be different and rods actually miss primary actually might have plays
But I remember the rod rates are just absolutely ridiculous on the seed. Look. He has
Just enough to leave I think yeah, look he has that six rods gonna be leaving
I think I'm just gonna be able to I can't tell because I can't see five works calculator
But I don't know if they're going to the same stronghold
I think he's just gonna pre-craft because he has the five rods already and Loki is out. He's got nearly at chords
So Fiber's not gonna blaze blood. He blaze bed
He's not gonna bed the blaze bar. You only gets two
He gets he gets one is he gonna go yeah, he's gonna go spawners so he gets to keep his explosives
But like look at how slow this exit is terrain especially now does not look
Look how slow this is for Feinberg
And it looks like the cords are built in or maybe it's maybe it's possible Loki took a bad route here
Because look how much Loki's mining do that as much as no gold pickaxe is for Feinberg
Definitely and from trying to look at the very tiny
They're building same time five fiber must have taken a better path
I don't know the terrain or they could be at different strongholds. I don't know that
They look like the same strong. Yeah, I think they're the same stronghold
So if they're the same stronghold and then fiber not gonna have to hungry. Oh look at this. Oh my gosh
difference here how is Feinberg in the lead in this game also this is insane
way less I am shocked for a zero but Loki has a way now Loki could clutch up
because Loki can do a two plus two finder cannot do a two plus two 94 because
he has four should be able to get to 99 here what it's good at what pivoting to
half go immediately deciding was not to make it
I don't even try to even try. Interesting. I guess he thought he was going to be too
late. I don't know, interesting. It wasn't easy by
by any means.
It's kind of costing him the seed, even though he ended first.
Yeah, just absolutely crazy there.
I mean, it makes sense, like you're not feeling fully comfortable, and you're also thinking,
okay, Loki has.
Need explanation?
Well, I think he has to get to a certain height.
I think when he purled up initially, one of the soul sands he was building with ended
up above him so then he had to build out to the left and then climb up which was a bit
slow and then he didn't have the explosives he was comfortable with.
And I guess the call is if Loki fucks it up, if Loki is dealing with the same explosive
issues I am then my decision to half bow here will win me the game.
I think when you're in a match against Loki, you cannot hope for him to make that mistake.
You have to assume he's going to hit it. And I feel like it's better to lose the game on
a half court fucking toss. Then turn the ball over foul and try to do some set play after
a timeout. Zero at the end and the explosives coming down
the game. Yeah, pretty crazy there. I mean, something also that I've noticed is
Fineberg's nav has been really good in this matchup made up seven seconds on
Loki just getting a portal room with how close these matches have been. That is
really impressive that Loki that Fineberg's been able to kind of have
that advantage in the endgame and that's something to definitely watch out for
as well going forward. We're doing a quick little stall here because we are
gonna have some full analysis but we do have to get it set up and I'm very
curious to see what Fulham caught that we didn't and also chat I do know that they had three-bed three anchor
But Feinberg is going to assume
That low key blaze bedded and had less or they're in the same boat. Well, low key did blaze bed
That plays out. He has no idea to be clear low key did blaze bed
But low key also sheared a bunch of sheep when he calved
And so he had like fucking six beds
it was just so because Feinberg is correct that he waited longer than low key waited on the trades. He just didn't know about the sheeps here.
here. First low key game four. Hello, everyone, and welcome back. Okay. Match analysis segment.
What a great matchup we have. So far it is two one to our current leader, Loki Feinberg
just was able to take our second seed, but was ahead in that third one rather than that
I want to talk right the way back to seed number one where there was really a big decision making difference here now
Unfortunately, I'm not able to grab clips from Loki
We're gonna try and get that fixed as soon as we can. Sorry. That's why we're a little bit delayed on this mid-match analysis
Not able to grab clips from Loki's channel as of yet
But we're gonna make sure that's working for if he does obviously progress through the bracket
But for now, I'm gonna have to imagine you're gonna have to use your imagination here for me
I can't go back and check I wish that I could. Um, however, fine by was taking a lot of damage from the pigs and as you can see here had to go and make a decision to go back and check.
Loki gets all four chests and notices that he only has four obsidian looted from those chests that is a
Actually, I believe it might have been eight. I correct myself there. Obviously. I can't go back and check. I wish that I could
however
Fineberg was taking a lot of damage from the pigs and as you can see here
Had to go and make a decision to either play double triple or triple to gap before looting all the chests now as he's making the
as he's making this decision, he's able to go up and check the chest afterwards. Unfortunately, when checking the chest, he notices that he doesn't actually get very much obby across the chest that he loots.
This is something that I believe that Loki knows and probably has studied quite intensely. Now, this is what I wanted to talk about. We have the Bastion trade simulator here.
And as you can see, a lot of the time when you don't have the percentage in your favor, as you can see the normal percentage chance for double triple to give you 20 obsidian on average is around about 83%.
In this case, however, we had low obsidian counts in the chests at the top, and this relies on average.
You get in 15.6 obby per just from chests, and on average you get 11.1 from bartering.
So only grabbing 8 obsidian in that top chest, and Loki recognizing that, it means that on average,
Loki's thinking, I'm only gonna be getting 18, 19 obsidian here if I play double triple.
I'm gonna play triple to gap make that choice early and guarantee or at least much more likely for me to get 20 obsidian
Feinberg unfortunately doing things the other way round gambling on the double triple first and hoping that the chests had the obby a
Little bit unlucky for him not to get that 20 obby
It did end up maybe swaying the seed back in his favor towards the end giving him much
Better terrain to second portal coordinates. However, of course Loki was able to take that design website
And I did want to mention that zero in the last seed there
We were able to have a little message with Feinberg and he did say that he felt like he piled a little bit too low
Was a little bit worried that the he was not gonna make it to the setup in time
So decided to bail
Unfortunately, you can't rely on low key not hitting a zero cycle low. I said he was able to taking us to a 2-1 lead
Because what can I have when I take in the place station wire in the booth to see what happens in seed number four
I like that we pulled up the
bastion. Tracker sheet of all
the trades that's always crazy
I like I like the low key one
game away. Fine bird. All back
two games. Loser is eliminated
a little reminder losers
eliminated. Where's. Where's the.
Oh, there we go. I was going to say, you know, he, he, that was his first seed pick, but
obviously because he didn't win on that seed, he's been able to pick it. So, you know, he
must have thought, you know, they were very, very close. He knows he's potentially stronger
in these kind of overworld seed types. So yeah, really interesting to see how this is
going to play out. But yeah, one of the first times, I think was desert temple, same seed.
Again yeah by the same runner picking it again is pretty I mean not surprising given that it's Feinberg
I mean felt pretty calm. We also saw like he's going temple again because low-key went on temple
He didn't win on temple so Feinberg gets a pick
He's allowed to go back to a stage as long as he hasn't personally won on the stage
So the only stage he can't go back to his village. He's going to desert temple
Normally, you don't see a player go back to a stage they lost on, because they lost on
it.
But, you know, once you get to game four, game five, there's not that many options left.
The other option would be BT or Ruin Portal.
And I think those are probably a little scarier.
So Desert Temple it is.
Didn't Feinberg pick the first seed?
player. Individually picks the
first seed the first seat is
decided by strike. Where each
player bands two stages and then
the last one remaining is the
one you play on. So they both
picked it together in a way I
guess. All right we're in it
but we're in it boys. We're in
it. We've been around for so
long. I mean both of them have
also played. They didn't play
each other but. And I guess
Rankin season one low key played in season one plans. I mean, these are veterans of the scene compared to some other people who we've seen
with
I like
Timers are a bit off right here. These timers are a bit fraudulent to people who have been around for so long
I'm very at such a high 20
21
22
23 and look he's at 27 28 29
So this lead by low key. Is it legitimate? He is like two to three seconds ahead. Yeah
Yeah, I mean, doesn't end up mattering too much for either of you.
So consider them even right now.
Arguably, Feinberg's actually ahead.
I would say Feinberg's currently ahead right now.
Mess up the head hitters again, unfortunately,
but both runners heading the same direction out of the temple.
And the lava flows, I mean, literally right there.
It's going to come down to gravel here.
OK.
We're going to see if they can get that somewhere close.
Not sure if there is a river kind of where the desert meets
in the future or not.
So it's gonna be interesting to see if they're gonna push for that or if they're just gonna go for both pretty quick on the crafts
So what's the play? Are we gonna are we gonna light? Are we gonna look for gravel?
Oh, he's gonna go for the wood like fine. We're gonna also
They're both going for wood like so that's a fine bird sets it up quicker low key goes for some weird water bucket
Oh a little bit farther out though. Maybe that matters. I mean already had a
Spot of lava, but I mean fine Rick has the portal set up earlier
year. And then getting some extra wood. I like that. Yeah. I like that. Get some extra
wood. Get some extra shit to build with. Maybe kind of use it. But he didn't put lava on
the, oh my God, he gets the light. Grab it more and he's going to get the wood. I was
going to say he didn't put lava on the other side, but he gets the light. Feinberg in first.
Yeah, looking at the wood like much slower than he could. With the extra wood. The slightest
bit of v-sync between these two streams. Feinberg stream is about two and a half seconds
behind. So that's something to keep in mind as well as we watch, especially with how close
All of these games have been but look at this immediately looking at a really hard time finding
this out in Bastion Rose and Fineberg's just here already doing everything.
Fineberg's dead ass in it.
It's really weird because the Bastions like kind of below them, you know,
toggling, he's really not far out.
It's like they're literally on the fucking coordinate.
I mean, that is a huge difference.
And Loki just seen the Bastion now.
I mean, yeah, Fineberg is going to have a nice lead here
because he couldn't identify the spike immediately.
Now it obviously can be very hard to do that sometimes
when the Bastion is so close like it is here.
And they were also very high up.
So there's striders that can spawn in the lava below them.
But I mean, this is like a 20 second leader some shit.
Very shocking thing to see.
And that's going to be exactly what Fieberg needs.
The only issue is there's not a lot of food obviously, right?
He's ahead by so much at the moment.
Now Fieberg didn't get hit by any of the mobs.
So he's not doing bad health lives.
So he's got 10 zombie flesh of time.
So not great.
That's kind of going to help him push a little bit faster.
But you can see he's kind of, you know,
Loki is making up the time, but he's definitely still well behind.
Yeah, this is not flesh.
Do we check the chest over at all?
Yes, I mean, look, you check the chest.
Fine, but the potential to play faster than pretty much anyone in the world
when it really comes down to it.
So anything can still happen here.
The team is going to be interested to see how these runners use it.
Unfortunately housings like that one bad brother. We haven't really fully figured out with TNT yet. Okay, my bad
I'm pretty much here
Bimer's inventory looks great though. Didn't see any sign of the
No, bro. I'm right. No work even he has been insane amount of pros. I think he waited a little long
For the trades. I'll say I'm just wondering behind the bastion. No easy way out
I think he waited a little bit long
He's gonna go all the way up to 28 pearls. Sorry. I love to 20 I'll be 32 pearls in 12 beds
No, no, I think he just now has a little bit
So he's definitely also made up. So low key has 23 obby
30 pearls
Kind of you know trials of getting out of action to find the terrain but fine 32. Yeah, he has 32 pearls
But low key again is very close behind. He's still ahead. He just you know, fine
And it's he probably had like a 20 second video. That's not like it
You know what? I'm a fan of low key to find the fortress and low key. It looks like he's taking
He's actually sending his lead right now.
He's more to the right.
I saw the four for a split second on Loki Street, I think.
Yeah, it's right there.
He's trying to find the good part.
And his entry have a completely different area.
So again, a huge advantage for Fiverr here.
I mean, he's at the spawner.
Loki's at the chest.
Yeah, that was kind of a bar.
He's at the spawner.
Loki's at the chest.
Why is that kind of a bar?
Find being able to get it right.
Whereas, you know, Loki's only just now getting
to the good part of the fall, but it's not particularly,
You know the nicest terrain with all the trees he is now reaching the spawner, but you know finds already kind of cleared that out
He's got his platform built, you know, definitely
Loki's at the chest you guys don't get it. It's alright. It's alright. Yeah, that's why you guys probably don't enjoy ice man
I'm really crank this up. Maybe check out Cocoa Mellon
Or the four stack to get probably fuck with that pretty much the entire thing completely cleared out really nice job from Loki also
Has those two strays on the side don't count them out yet because if Loki is just one rod short or something can go
there. Kill them. C.P. gets the last rod. Okay. There for now. Has to clear the inventory.
Fimer. Get your pre-crest. Eight beds. Two anchors. Three anchors. And a bow.
Heating the last gap. Well now which is actually in your.
Not a questionable choice. I don't question really anything Loki does, but an interesting
time to do it when we're just at the spawn or doing nothing basically.
Yeah, definitely. And you know, we saw pretty bad rates a couple of seeds ago. Fine kind of was
was able to craft his extra gold apple to allow him to sort of pearl a lot easier to get to court.
So he's probably he's lucky the pearl went to the right and not the left here.
Like he's eating it now.
That could have gone behind the tree very easily.
Very, very close now in terms of Rock Count is is the same.
They're both blending at the same time.
Rock Count's the same, but Fineberg's done all his pre-craft.
So I would not argue their time here.
I think Fineberg still has a solid 15 second lead.
I don't think Fineberg had to do so a little bit of time lost there.
Also, I'm gonna go for the pearl because it's just so close right there really nice pearl back up to the fortress
Okay, we got the world there. Is that a three spawns of fine bird?
Not great on here could maybe leave he's out six rods. He's out Loki. I think it needs two more rods
But remember fine birds fine birds now like I think seconds up trying to kill this place. Does it drop?
Yes
So Loki's also out both runners heading to courts fine bird ahead by maybe ten seconds or so
You have to you have to consider Feinberg has a two and a half second delay on his POV
Three second delay, but Rose he still has a gap here first
And he also pre-crafting he has to deal with because Feinberg does not have to hunger reset here
I think he has that he's just gonna eat the gap hole
And he can go Loki has to hunger reset on his way to cause he's having to now
One by one dig and fine finds the pool first and he had the gap saved so he doesn't have to hunger reset
Yeah, this is it. This is it. This is really just a Finebird clutch moment. And now Finebird is a guy who has a lot of back-to-back shoots of choking in big moments.
He's going to have to climb up to 94-95 here and he's going to have to nail his 2-2. You don't even do a 2 plus 2. He's going to have to nail his 0.
I'm not too worried about the
zero just yet. The dragon has
not flown it's probably going to
stay at this point and one more
bed will close it out for
Feinberg here. You might have
the honor of fine bird yet but
it's not what she's working
for. My brother is going to
play a game five here Rose. And
we finally get one nerdy and
Parker have hogged all the game
fives. I'm going to play
the game five. Now it's archer
game five. But this seed, I
think the story was very much
the terrain in the in the
nether. I think silver
streaks quite a lot. Silver
streaks in that. And also, I
mean, he had a lead at every
point. What's funny is. I think
every single point. Fine
made up time doing every single thing he needed to do and then would lose time
with like a fuck up so it's like getting to the bat like he lost time in the
in the nether excuse me entering the nether right he lost time entering the
nether initially no real major fuck up maybe getting water a little farther
than he should have entering the bastion he can't find the bastion but he makes
up time in the bastion entering the fortress he goes to the wrong part of
fortress because he can't find it but makes up time in the fortress finding the stronghold.
I mean that one honestly I think he mostly lost time eating the gapl. I think curry called that out.
I think that gapl eat was a was an L decision.
Bastion. I mean I think there was an L decision range of the fortress did such a good job. These
games are first three years again to enter the end and is now in a spot where he can win
I mean, I'm super excited if any game was gonna go to a game five. I mean, what a matchup between two Titans in the community. My goodness. Yeah, absolutely.
I'm trying to split up what happened. My hands so back and forth. I'm super curious to see what Loki is going to pick as well.
well for his seed pick.
We haven't seen Rune Portal yet
and we haven't seen Barrier Treasure yet.
So, you know, maybe if you're Loki,
do you think is it time to just go all out,
play the Rune Portal seed, go for pure speed,
or do you, you know, go for something else?
See what else you can pick?
I could see both arguments for Loki here,
either, I mean, B.T. or Rune Portal.
I mean, technically, Loki could pick Desert Temple.
I don't think Lokis can do that.
No, no, actually, I don't think you can pick that as temple.
I don't, we're all getting used to the new seed picks.
Give me a break here.
I think he basically has two choices.
I think he's probably gonna go ruin portal,
but like it's like 55, 45 in my brain here.
Like it is, it is such a, there's an argument for both.
He probably wants to take Feinberg ocean.
Very.
And he's gonna do it.
So I see the arguments for both.
I mean, if it's the, the gamble you're taking.
All right, y'all.
Is you want it to be a fast room portal,
which is not guaranteed,
especially with the new seed filter type.
So Barry Treasurer, I mean, he is the fastest person in the world to ever be after the break.
Barry Treasurer will determine who moves on.
He's got to be pretty good at going into game five.
Yeah, absolutely.
And I think, you know, he won on the shipwreck seed as well.
So, you know, he knows he's potentially the only ocean seed.
I think the only seed Feinberg got into the nether first was the second desert temple seed that we just saw.
of like difference in terms of I mean magma I'll say ravines in minecraft speed running
the seed types I feel like don't matter that much at least at a high level like obviously they end
up having like a three to five second lead sometimes and I guess it can change what you have
for the rest of the run food wise sometimes but like it's only one of the five things like
Like, it doesn't consider what the Bastion type is, you know, what, how, what the spawn
rates are, the fortress, you know, how the fucking stronghold is yada, yada, yada.
What I've no fear.
There's a lot of like variables.
It's not like picking a stage and smash.
You know what I mean?
You pick a stage and smash.
It is everything you are dealing with as a variable for the whole match.
I think that's a good point.
I definitely enjoy watching Loki more than Fymerg.
So this time, Loki's not in.
Maybe this has to be a reset.
What's going on?
Oh, there we go.
Okay, that was crazy.
So Fymerg's down a lot right now, by the way.
Moment for Loki there.
We're not really watching as well.
Even though we can't really see what's happening.
I mean, we know Loki's playing, you know, Loki's playing, so that's good.
Oh, this is kind of an L.
Hold on, let's see if Loki's live on Twitch.
Organizing, ready to go.
Both players finding the BT at a very similar time, and Feinberg crafting everything up,
and Loki is back and is like leaving.
Okay, Loki's just out.
Yeah.
Okay, he is live on Twitch if necessary.
Really interesting potentially.
Fine.
And I think it is necessary.
So he blew up with his tree.
So if he saves that later and he's got gold, then I could have an extra kind of gold,
I'm a fucking good streamer, and I will give you guys a good product to watch give me a moment
I'm gonna get I'm gonna get his POV on here. So definitely kind of slightly ahead there as we can see is not entering
This is a rose. This is a one minute and one second very treasure enter. I mean that is
bananas like it looks like it's working on bananas here
I mean fine break entering this is a very respectable BT time one like 13 114 for fine break
one oh one for Loki like that is just unfathomable. So a huge lead for Loki already.
It's gonna be bridge again. I'm not 100% sure just from the glimpse I caught of it. Yeah, it is and oh
Interesting chalice just kind of peeking out the netherrack there
But pretty kind of GG Feinberg a lot of game left for a lot of game left
TNT from the very treasure. So
You know fine definitely still behind here, but it's very very close. I
I mean, I actually didn't take a great look at the triples here
I'm pretty sure why it looks like there's a triple on the right side from what I can see
Just slightly on farmer stream Loki has to go through two hoglins here does so effortlessly
That's you gonna set up for the other ramp or here
Anti-hoglin tech very nicely done from Loki. That's that new age anti-hog
So how does time for deal with the hoglin? Let's see
And it's I mean Loki's gonna set up for just takes a big fucking hit to his big fucking head
It's gonna be going for a suit here and there's a gas on someone's screen. I don't know whose audio we have right now
But they're going for a different setup here, right
Loads of obsidian and not just an intent obsidian for for low key there as well because low key they went for opposite things
Right. Yeah, also have the two hoglands on the bridge as well
So when you get to the next
round and you're envisioning
that you're hoping to see.
That you're having a look at
the next round of play.
You know, it's a crazy lot of
logistics that all of us
don't have.
Well, it's aYou have some weird
terrain like this on the side
of the Ambushin the pigs won't
half by correctly, because
they'll just be like, Oh, I
can't stand down there.
Like they're doing a Loki.
blocks where that happens. It seems to be about the Y level that Loki is above them. And it's actually
not even going to be going to grab them. So that could be interesting here that depending on how
many pigs Fine has that could easily get him back in this game because Loki's missing at least four
or five there. Yeah. All right. So Fineberg has 1830. They can leave. They can. Oh no, they don't
have a lot of beds. 22 string bro. Look at that. Check the other triple to get the obsidian because
because we know that's why the obsidian
needs another string trade.
There it is.
That's one out.
If I'm still waiting has I think you can go now.
Here but is not leaving just yet once one more string
trail hang set up a pearl hang yet.
A Loki is at the fortress.
So you can go.
You can go.
Loki at the start of this game.
Loki in the fort 348 ish.
Fineberg will be in the fort 358.
I think you might be saved a couple of seconds
or state even there.
Find a different one, or maybe get some strays.
Oh my God.
Ryan's render takes a lot of damage.
Wow, wow, wow, wow.
I don't know what he's doing with the render there.
That was weird.
That's not going to nearly be enough.
Yeah, not the best entrance in two.
Oh my God, Feinberg.
Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy, boy.
You know, trying to get this blazing a little bit
of a little composition, but is onto the spawn now as well.
Yeah, but he's not able to blaze bed yet,
and he could lose a spawn cycle here.
He's going to go for the double, but doesn't have it.
Make a second bed if the play cycle spawns. This is catastrophic for Feinberg
Got it off, but man. What a mistake. He's just sloppy right now
So he didn't even make the second bed, but he set up as if you had that time loss
So it's not gonna be that impactful low key measuring
Set there and I mean Feinberg could have been low keys ahead by a good chunk right here in this game
Loki's ahead by a good chunk right here.
He's taking so much damage to you, Fineberg it is.
I guess they're kind of taking the equal amount of damage here.
Okay four rods, how many rods for Loki?
I think Loki also has four, but he also counts.
And he got his spawn and it's four new ones.
Five for Loki, six for Loki.
You can leave still one broke the eye break. Oh and I broke okay
Is also just one away
But the different oh no five are actually out wait fine bird
The firebird firebird hasn't caught yet. We're fine. We're gonna count it. That would be the problem
Yeah, he hasn't measured that is a great call rose. Thank you for completely checking me there
I'm actually stupid Loki though. I didn't find her to say this one. I yeah, I
I don't know if we'll have the wherewithal obviously we have more information
But I think you should send the one I hear that looks like a really nice spike for him as well
It'll be going he does. I'm here. I mean on nearly sub seven. I mean, I guess it would have been like a two second difference
I don't know if it's that worth it. Whatever what he's looking for, but I don't think it would have been a big difference
I should say probably right here
Here's it. No not here so bad now
I think he's in. Okay. He's
in. Fine Berg is maybe not
going to be. Fine Berg could
get away without a hundred
recent and you can find it
quick enough. So maybe can
built in. No not built in. But
I mean it's just going to the
same. It just it requires low
key to choke. He's going to
keep his lead. Here's the
situation guys. Fine Berg
always has a tough time in
these playoffs for him to get
through and win this one, it requires Loki to choke.
Unfortunately for him, he chose his Ramon opponent
and he chose a motherfucker with ice in his veins
in three championships to his name.
And it flew.
And it flew!
And Loki notably did do a lower bed there.
So there's potential where Feinberg actually is able
to push for either 95 or just do a 91 bed.
Maybe the dragon doesn't fly.
We could be doing really small low key could just get a perch, bro
And five are gonna be digging not gonna go for this side
Okay, okay now now we can now we can't win on the only way fine bird
Not able to go for it because of having a pearl clip and I mean I think I see you now, but low key is already set up so
So, realistically, Loki is set up RNG-wise for a way back in the game.
I mean, I guess Loki lost a couple of explosives.
Literally anything can happen right now.
Loki could just get fully unlucky here.
It is just a purchase.
Loki lost some explosives.
Yeah, and it's not the purchase standardization that we're used to seeing in Season 11 either.
So, it's not a guarantee that just because...
So, the purchase pure RNG here.
I think they can purchase anywhere from instantly to three minutes.
This is a purchase!
get there, has the explosives, the breath is in the way, but I think he has this rose
and fiber is going to take out low key in this best of five matchup off of a perch race
in game five.
Wow.
And then low key just gets the punch.
Oh, yeah.
My God.
Parch standardization isn't here because we're playing as we do in in season 10.
And so that just means fine gets the perch faster, 43 seconds later than low key and he
gets the perch reminiscing of Liam in Super TF in the ass offs, but he does not show the
the one cycle.
Wow.
Low key is out fine bird takes away. I would be so
Flipped on the fucking camera. Oh
He just came on the whole time look at this fucking nut
What do you say about the perch let's watch the reaction of the perch
Let's watch his reaction to the perch. I mean, bro, it maybe it feels bad for low key, but he fucked up
You know, so it's like he had the opportunity to win
That's unbelievable.
You're fucking serious.
Oh, wow.
Wow. Wow.
How do you fuck up?
By not playing in season 11 playoffs where they have standardized perch timings.
And that's on low key, right?
So it's like, if you're gonna participate with RNG perch timings,
that's you, you've decided to enter this event.
Should've waited for season 11, it is what it is.
So we're getting a new champion from since season one. Everyone remaining besides silver
would be new. Yeah. Okay. So, Curry, are you saying silver
can't win? What's up with that? Has silver won? Hold up. What is the MCSR playoff season
10 bracket
So here it is here it is we have eight players who are left in the event in fumi vs
Silver big big monkey vs.
Aquacord EDCR vs.
B salad and finally fine Berg versus NHB fine Berg defeats low key and
His round two matchup in theory is
Is a lot nicer than his round one match up no shade to NHB. It's just low-key is one of the best to do it
Check hacks is stream
Okay, yep, and we can keep updated with that later on what's going on with grubby
Like I don't know how to measure my improvements because it's always subject to things out of my control
I don't know how you did it sing
You mean generally improving in dollar. Yeah, generally improving in Dota 2. Is Tyler still in?
I don't know how you did it
You mean generally improving in Dota? Yeah, generally improving in Dota 2
I'm not going to get it.
Whoa.
Again, before I forget, low key
being chill. I mean, low key
could have been. He really
wanted to be like, nope, I'm
not just scheduled for this
time. Pardon me. I made Loki
for the week. I was never even
a question for low key. He was
so respectful, so nice to
My name is Jojo Giovanni, but everyone just calls me Jojo.
Pup, pup, pup, pup, pup, pup, pup, pup, pup, pup, pup, pup, pup, pup.
All right y'all, let's take a look at my predictions.
Oh my predictions are fucked I guess now.
I guess my predictions are just GG now.
I had Feinberg losing, 3-0.
I had Loki winning the whole fucking thing.
I'm fucked!
What game is that?
It's Warcraft 3 there.
Don't worry about it.
Warcraft 3 is for boomers.
Unless you're 37 years old, don't bother.
Hey Ludwig!
Not sure if this is a popular opinion, but you're actually more on the attractive side.
I'm taking, buddy.
Aren't you 30?
Yeah, but I'm one of the 30 year olds who watch Minecraft,
who's not one of the 30 year olds who play Boomer games.
Took my MCAT yesterday.
Tell me why I'm more nervous watching this match
than when I was taking it.
Anyways, have a great stream.
Cause you study and you're locked in, bro.
That's why.
No nerves.
No need to be nervous when you know you're gonna crush.
It's like me operating a moomoo. There's no nerves there.
I got to play again later today. It's pretty cool. You do get to play later today. You're
going to play NHB in, I don't know, three hours, four hours. What are your kind of thoughts
in that match? Because you're in the unique position where you knew if you won this game,
like you knew you were playing for a long time. So I guess a lot of people know that,
but I guess it's more interesting from NHB's perspective because he didn't know who he
playing? I mean, is there any different prep that you would have for a match like that or
what are your thoughts on just playing NHB as a whole?
No, I think, I think prepping, I mean, okay, I haven't talked to like
any like coaches or like analysts or whatever, like I haven't spent like 10 hundreds of hours
diving into it. So maybe there is something, but it feels like, like ranked is so single player,
you can't like counter strut somebody. It's like, it's not like you're going to like a,
like a Valorant match or a OWL match or something where it's like okay you know this team's playing
this comp and we're playing the same map and you can kind of shot something or like hide strats but
like you can really do that because you're just playing your own game and so the only like thing
that I care about when I'm playing somebody else is like just how my mental feels where it's like
if I make a mistake do I think I can still win. Fuck on EP bro. And nowadays there's like
the number of players that I feel this way keeps slowly slowly going up like it's probably like four
right now where it's like if I'm behind into the nether and then I'm behind into the bastion
and then like I messed something on the bastion I feel like I lose like legit I feel like I just
like in my head and it's so hard for me to get over that barrier of like you lost the game you're
playing an eight minute cutscene like if I wanted a forfeit right now it's probably better long-term
like for the elo because I could get to queue another game it's like guys he got lucky he scanned
My boy low key out of a fourth victory like what are we talking about here? What do we need to do the interview for like am I crazy?
move it on oh
Who checked it out last night?
You guys didn't see the stream last night. We fucking
Grinded for eight hours and nine minutes for this moment
Tell me why I look like the thinker while playing
I'm literally playing the game with my left hand.
Why is the perch time different?
It's a good question.
Because the perch has always been random in Minecraft.
And I think there was always some standardization in MCSR, or at least a max amount of time
that you would have to wait until you would guaranteed get a perch.
But the perch has always been random.
Part two next Friday.
Between that max time.
So yeah, it just always was that way.
I think the real answer to your question is standardization comes after complaints from
users.
So I'm assuming when MCSR first draft like dropped, there's probably very little standardization.
And then they were like, okay, maybe we should standardize gravel rates because we're noticing
a lot of players frustrated by losing by having to mine more gravel.
That seems unfair and like not a skill thing.
And then they, you know, keep doing it, keep doing it, keep doing it until they find like
a good sort of, I don't know, balance point.
I don't know how it works in season 11.
I don't know how it works.
Chad, do you know how it works?
20 pixel. Yeah, his title was huge announcement x-point CS money
And I think the new announcement is that he has a partnership with this website where you can buy skins
Eight years the same yeah, I have huge announcement of the title. I'm opening up a new skin site
So it kind of fucking sucks for me, you know
It's like the one day I try to drop a new skin site the biggest skins like salesmen in the fucking east or west
Starts his own
So that fucking sucks
You know, I'll be crying all the iron is in the bastion you can sometimes
Okay, let's fucking move it along bro. I gotta see game to get go practice bro. You got a fucking other match coming up, bro
one. One. Will you talk about
this? You said that 40 tries
ago. I know but I lied but I
I decided I would stop lying.
You know, I'm gonna tell you
start counting right now.
Start counting right now.
For every attempt it takes us
over 10. I will give to one
some. Okay. Deal.
How much does it take us 15?
You owe like 600.
I'm sorry.
You want me to gift like 600?
So you're telling me you didn't fucking count.
But you just are eyeballing like 600.
You think that's how it should work?
You just give me a like 600?
What is that?
And Anderson got timed out for 10 fucking minutes.
I hate subbing to you so much.
Fuck you, Smile.
Thank you for 29 miles, buddy, check.
you gond in soul for the 10 months.
Whatever you twice in one day, that could happen.
That could absolutely happen.
First time ever.
What happens every time in the final day?
First time not on a final day.
Go, I don't even know what the hell you're going to do in there.
That's I guess.
Go piss off for a bit and come back against NHB, bro.
I'm not sure what he's doing.
Wreckwrap dropped a video where he beat NHB today.
Oh, fuck Wreckwrap too. Sorry, no shade.
NHB with a fishing rod
You're telling me the commentator that's gonna commentate NHB's match beat him
Can you imagine bro that's like captain flowers beating fucking faker in solo queue and then casting his match after
We beat the Super Monkey Ball, yeah.
OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!
WHAT THE FUCK!
Let's go! What a crazy finish there! Let's go sir! Holy shit!
This is yesterday, no?
They haven't started today
They're here.
Loud. Yeah. The clip is loud.
You own that team too? Yes, sir. We actually have a lot of matches today in a
Shotfire Rebellion World. Because we have our Rainbow Six. There's the Rainbow Six Salt Lake
Major. Rainbow Six Salt Lake Major. The Salt Lake Major.
What matches they're doing today versus tomorrow to be fair is it just semi-finals today and then finals tomorrow is that it?
Call fine bird. Oh, I'm not gonna call him mid run row if he calls me that's chill, but he's in the fucking tournament
I mean, I wouldn't want to fuck with him in turn. I
Have respect for competitors
I would rather give them that respect of, you know,
he can operate his off time how he wants to.
He said he wants to talk to you. I mean, he has, he has my number.
He has my number, buddy.
But I'm not gonna call him fucking go make it about me.
Because I'd rather him have his space if he wants it.
So semi-finals are today, yeah?
And then tomorrow's finals.
Pussy-boy you're shit off smooth, bitch, and your band.
around find out.
The other match we have, so okay I actually genuinely, this may be a dumb question, I
have no fucking clue how the LCS works.
I feel like the LCS is a fucking comedy circus of a league where you can lose 15 matches
and then it's like, but if you win this one match, you can make it into playoffs.
It's like, what?
How?
Okay.
We're fully out of playoffs, right?
I think?
Are we fully out?
No we're not.
If we beat DSG, we make it to playoffs, is that it?
Jesus Christ, this hurts my brain.
Does it matter 2-0, 2-1?
I feel like we need to go, well hold up, if we want to one then our record would be three
and six, their record would be three and five, no their record would be three and six, so
we'd be tied, but I don't know if the tiebreaker is, it's probably head to head, it's probably
head-to-head so we move on right so even if we go to one
that is series score not game score so if we win we'll be two five they'll be
two five but then we'll be head-to-head the fastest game shut up dude if it's
fastest game I'm fuming. I am fuming. Sentinels might be in a three-way tie. Well, Sentinels
is green, which makes it seem like they're locked for playoffs, no? Could I ask a question,
how the fuck did Sentinels beat FlyQuests and lose to DSG?
I guess FlyQuest is kind of washed, no?
Cloud9 is going fucking insane.
I actually don't like the fucking nays a fucking joke comments because I actually don't think
you know ball at all I think you're just parroting what you hear from other people because here's
the deal bro EU has been performing just as poorly at international events and the thing
about EU viewers is they clap their hands crazy for some dog ass teams. There's been
no more hype team than Los Ratones and I'm not saying Los Ratones is a bad team. Los
Ratones would have no fucking chance in any international event. But everyone fucking
loves Los Ratones. So I don't think the issue is that they're dog ass. I think the issue
is that there's no respect for the North American events.
And I don't think there's any real hype players
or like units.
I don't think people know the teams in America.
I think when someone says North America is a joke,
they couldn't tell you fucking 10 players.
They couldn't tell you five players from North America.
I just don't think you watch.
I don't think you watch.
I don't think you give a fuck.
you your shit on it and then move on your day.
That's why it's a joke.
What? Because you're an ignorant idiot?
Well, okay. So everything you're unaware of is a joke?
So I ain't culture, you don't understand a joke.
What are we talking about?
Be educated, then make fun of something.
That's it.
North America has more Koreans than North Americans.
Fact check, I'm going to say it's false.
I say it's false.
I think there are more North Americans.
I think you just said something that sounds true.
So you're stupid.
Okay, Fallen Empire 35, you're permanently banned.
We can just do a quick check right now.
I think you're a fucking dumb sack of shit who actually hasn't looked at anything
Who's about to get fucking chump checked. Alright, here we go
I don't know, come on bitch
Fucking talk real loud without any fucking knowledge in your head, bro
We have one versus three
Okay, so three for North America, one for Korea, three to one
Next, Leon
And it goes four to four
Tied up. Tied up. Now we got ourselves a fucking ball game. Keep it rollin'.
Next up!
We got...
Fuck.
5 to 8, son of a bitch. Son of a bitch. I can't handle this.
5 to 8, okay, keep it rolling.
6, 7 to 9, okay, that's big, that's big.
7...
Uh...
7 to 9, 8 to 10, okay?
Okay, come on Sen go big for me fucking kill yourself sentinels. What the fuck? Oh
My god nine to fucking 14. Oh my god, okay
All right nine to 14. Oh my god
Ten to 16 fuck, okay
Okay, uh 12 to 18. Oh my god
So I would like to issue an apology
To fall on a specific
After counting the numbers
There are in fact more Korean players than North American players
in North America
What my goat fucking sentinels bro like this disgusting dude
Well hold up hold up hold up hold up hold up
Who he are technically North American players? Hold up. We should recount we should recount
Give me a recount
What no, oh my bad. Yeah, sorry they're in their immigrants they shouldn't count. Yeah, you're right. Oh
Yeah, they have to be what white for you to count them as Americans
So somebody lives in America for 10 years works in America for 10 years
American job American girlfriend American food shitting out their ass, and they're not American
That's your take. All right, dude. I hope you fucking enjoy your fourth vote for Donald Trump
bigot I
Like to believe because my fucking family is full of immigrants that you can come to America and you can become an
American
That's what I believe. Maybe that fucking pisses you off
But that's the America that I love
Anyway, we got EDCR versus beef salad. Let's check it out. It's the Battle of the Brits
It's finished so high when you're playing so much is a testament to the consistency that beef salad has been able to build up
Yeah, absolutely
And I think another kind of stat that stands out between these two is the wins versus opponent
So obviously last season, 30 wins.
Take a look at the match up here.
We have EDCR seed number two coming in,
former ELO world record highest win rate in season 10,
back to back sub sevens, 30 plus sub ranked sub sevens.
In the season seven, basically, they finished out of 263 times.
And it's a little bit closer in that it's, I think EDCR is 144 times,
beef is one about 117.
And there's a couple of.
Okay. So we hear Rose giving it down the breakup of their head to head,
144 to 117 so they played a lot look at the win rate for EDCR by the way this is fucking insane
and then in season 10 alone 30 to 9 EDCR has beef salads number
the ranked average is also well higher for EDCR on a lot of games played mind you on a lot of games
played five birds on what's up?
Yeah, what up?
Yo, how you feeling, bro?
You feel big, man?
Hell, yeah.
Got a fucking double under the bell.
Yeah, you like the last seed off skill.
Yeah, I like the afts, the afts off
to level one, V1, the perch fucking way.
Like it's Liam versus Super T.
I was electric.
Well, I put myself in a position
to get to have that happen.
Yes.
Dude, what, they're changing purchase, I guess, right?
That's what people are saying.
For season 11, yeah.
So it just took a long time to like have a good system for it.
But in the new season, there's no, like if you play a game on ladder today,
there's no force perch anymore at three minutes.
It's just all standardized based on like, how many crystals you shoot
and how far away you stand, basically, like a good way
to explain it is like there's kind of every seed has like an invisible like
progress bar that's like it's random for each seed so some seeds you'll still
get an instant perch some seeds that could take five minutes but you have
like an invisible progress bar and then every time the dragon like attempts to
try to perch depending on how well you've been playing so like depending on
how many crystals you have down and how far away you are from the fountain it
like increases that progress bar like relative and then once it hits once it
fills up, then it'll just perch next.
So it's that every time is worth it.
Yeah.
I mean, well, technically a seed could be lucky enough to get you an
insta perch, but half Boeing is like way better now.
Yeah.
Because if you enter the end at the same time as somebody else and you
shoot like all the crystals you can, you just like will get the first.
But this is season 10 playoffs.
And so even though the change is just like objectively good, um, they're
just playing on season 10 rules because it's like a precedent.
Playoffs, bro. I'll be with you. Yeah. Yeah. Well, so are you locked for for your second game?
But I suffer like four hours. We'll see. I don't know how I'm gonna feel I'm three
I gotta like eat something to that you're gonna take an average. What are you fucking posturing the matches?
Of course, I gotta watch your fucking your creator pill, bro. I
Have to you thinking foomey watches the matches in between bro
Fuck no locked in the whole damn time
He's too busy watching Cocoa Mellon.
Cocoa Mellon!
Wait, DJing, I gotta show you this.
I gotta show you this.
What?
Oh my god, I gotta find it.
Are you showing me a Cocoa Mellon clip?
No, I'm showing you.
This is Enfume DJing.
It's on Reddit, I'm sorry.
This looks exactly like him.
You can't lie.
Okay, in Fumi's DJing, hold up.
Let's make sure I don't die.
Okay, boom.
It's unbelievable.
I don't get it.
my god damn I didn't know when we got down like this isn't for me this isn't
for me after like a fifth of pinnacle with cream vodka if you went to Arizona
University. I'm a crazy set though, bro. It looks exactly like him. It's on the beard
and everything. He got to hit the gym for that shit. And for me, you look crazy if you
went to the gym, bro. I know you're listening.
All right, so you're watching this shit. Yeah, I got to watch. I mean, if you're silver
Are you gonna watch all the games? Yeah. Yeah, and then you're gonna go right to playing
And there's always like a 15 minute in between. So yeah, you're a sicko, bro
I
Played for like 10 minutes before the Loki game. I got on my PC like 10 or two
And then you just booted it up and then you just fucking crushed off. I did like I did like five
Strongholds is euros and then I like got 90% of the way through one
private seed and then they told me to join on and then I played now I lost
firstly by four seconds so maybe I fucking suck yeah dude you had some close
games I'll say you had no it's eighty percent you know we're fucking in
EDCR vs. beef salad five games EDCR wins so you start top of his game right now
beef salad like it is you're just sure win I don't know he had so many playoff
Nerv's the first couple seasons by finally want to set so
He's just like so good what they can do. Yeah, he is a bit of a Peyton Manning type
And I think as they were running up to the temple like did see regular season legend playoffs don't go so great
Why'd you love DC so much?
I'm just comfortable. I don't know like I guess the last
The fourth seed was a woodlite
Or so then like
And it's just like if you beat me by like nine seconds and never never in the last
It's so hard because I look at the fucking advancements when I play so often like because it is good info in the fashion
But I look at it in the Hebel world
I didn't even get lava. Oh my god. I'm so shit. I'm like looking at it while I'm trying to build my portal
It's such a bad habit
So I'm any one two rings. Yeah, I'll pull up the footage of him fumbling the first snap
in the Broncos Super Bowl. I'll pull it up.
You a football watcher?
Honestly, I watched a lot of sports like as a kid, just because like I lived at home
and my parents would just like put it on the TV all the time.
But ever since I've been a lone wolf, it just hasn't been other on the stables.
It hasn't been a priority for me.
So I like I follow like the playoffs for each major sport when it happens, but everything else
I see what he's doing here by the way. This is tech Oliver actually told me this first
I don't think Oliver maybe maybe Oliver discovered it in total
But he started built up with TNT so we can insum on it on the way down
Instead of having a lot of seen this I've seen this the same stone. Yeah
Oliver let me know he's a TNT stables four months ago, and I don't do it because I'm stupid, but Oliver does it
I watch all of her plays, but
You can you can know attack and not be able to execute it true true
Triple the gap do you regret doing double triple?
No, I'm just surprised the triple the gap was so fast. Why could be so do what he did?
What do you do?
I was just like a weird-looking pivot. It makes sense. You must have just known that it was um, is she laggy for you?
No
I'm going to like weird life spikes.
I'm going to try watching on YouTube.
Interestingly rather than watching YouTube.
It's my Rosette, 1080p.
Actually kind of making it a little bit more time by going to that and kind of wrapping around.
I just missed that they saw that the right gap was back.
I can't tell if I'm in slow-mo or if I genuinely see the game so different that it looks photo-made.
All the cutting edge of tech stuff, so it makes a lot of sense we're seeing it.
No, no, no, it's this one.
playoffs here. BCR checking trades, taking a lot of damage.
Yeah, I'd say it's definitely why.
Because that's the on similar how we can even have a golden apple.
So that's going to be not her main watch here on this temple seed.
So many fires.
We use runners.
Oh, they don't have to sing anymore as well, just unless they get it now.
Except what?
In the toy.
Yeah. 19 after trades.
I know they had it for you guys.
Oh, really?
My match was up.
Yeah, that's cool.
They'll probably pull it up then.
Cuz I know they didn't have it the first week. They're just so busy to turn around with the land
MCS are
What time are you at
Three four I'm a four four four five four six or seven
Is that he says gonna actually have a lot of time here you kill a hog in the stables
He can't even damn pearl. Oh my god. Yeah, but he's faster. He was so far behind
But now he just like he just has the tempo to it's so scary being in a four like this on half hour
You like have to heal up before you blaze bed and just like running and everything and all the like
When you're not overlapping eating the flesh. It's just so slow to heal. Do you know what a head hitter is?
I do. Okay. Okay
Why was I not doing them not once and look you did every time he's just kind of fucking lit with it by whatever
maybe I'll try that and make a couple hours yeah yeah be cool see something
against an HP like someone actually fucking play for a second
sorry no I'll keep it on mine actually I'm like 30 flaws of my gameplay you did
I think you're going for the zero cycle.
I thought I just threw a bad pearl,
but I really fucking sealing myself too.
I think you're sealing yourself. Yeah.
You're sealing yourself.
It was like double whammy.
And then you went out.
I was trying to think I'm like,
what can he be talking about with Charlotte at the end?
I just didn't think I was stealing that.
I was trying to see through you.
I knew it wasn't a compliment.
It wasn't a nice thing.
I knew it was not.
It wasn't a nice day.
Yeah.
Oh, is he going to get this with the leaves?
No, they don't have.
You see our.
Why don't you send that shit on 90 something percent?
You know what I mean?
Ninety five point nine.
Like fuck it, bro.
Honestly, the fact that he had to throw the third eye,
maybe I would have sent it because the second eye never breaks.
But because they threw he did it.
Because they threw the first one into a tree
that their one could break and that's kind of scary.
So I don't actually know if I would have thrown it like he knows
he's ahead by a good maybe 10, 15 seconds.
And on a four like this where it's all crimson you can assume that if you're playing anyone except for infume
They're not really gonna get any strays
So like that the oh my god king of the strays speaks loudly of infume
But doesn't review his own grievances. Have you not at least acknowledged?
The strays you received
Game one, you killed 12 blazes that were strays.
12.
He won.
Yes, because he's amazing.
EDCR, hitting the stronghold first, perfect stronghold.
Big spike.
No, his spikes are so jank.
That was good.
Oh, oh, because he has a 90...
He has an Intel graphics card.
Intel graphics card.
That's good, yeah.
Intel graphics card.
I think so.
They did that they do graphics cards for like thinkpads. I
Don't think he's playing on think that I think he might be playing on a fucking thing pad
You think he's using the little red ball in the middle I probably have using the red ball. Oh
He's stuck. He's stuck. Oh
My god
Cuz it's high enough up that the pearl it's just it and it's first Pro was just too good
I mean a good fly here, but yeah
So what determines if it flies just completely random
But like it would be random for both. Yeah, it's consistent for both players, but the dragon
Like this dragon flew for low key would it have flown for you had you not fucked up
Yeah, I mean if I went to like 92 or 93 or something
Maybe it wouldn't have but if I went to the same height that he did it would have heated 93
I think no, I'm gonna see that if they went to 91
91 yeah, so if you went higher in my not a flu
Yeah, it just chooses a Y level just completely randomly. There's like a range like a 20 block range kind of floating the
So
It's just completely random, but it's the same for both players
It's just random every seed and the higher you go
obviously
So there's one Y level where it just always flies I was saying
Yeah, every seed so the way it works is it reads the ground height of
the world
like whatever the endstone on the floor is, because it's looking at like the node which
is a point in space. That's where the dragon circles around, and that's why we build off
the tower. So it looks at the Y level of the highest block on the node, which is always
the endstone on the ground, which is like somewhere between 60 and 70. And then it adds
10 blocks to that. And then it picks a random number between 0 and 20. And adds that to
the additional addition. So that was confusing, but it's basically anywhere between 70 and
100.
Whole time you're talking I was thinking about Emerson getting hit by a bus just genuinely the whole fuck. Yeah, that's okay
They show up in Chattanooga
Couldn't stop thinking about it like I stopped listening fucking two minutes in I was just thinking about the fucking boss coming
Like if you got hit by a bus in a strategic way you could be set for life
But you know someone would have to try to figure that out. I don't know Regina George got nice after it
it. So okay, but I was actually listening. So there's just, and this is a Minecraft coding
thing, not a CSR coding thing. Yeah, it's a completely Minecraft coding thing. So yeah,
the Minecrafting coders decided the dragon will randomly fly at one wide value where
the bed explodes. Um, yeah, just sometimes decides to line up like where the bed explodes.
Or if it's like, so on that last seed, I don't know exactly where it flew, but like it can
only decide to fly after it like swoops all the way through the note. You know,
like it can't be like halfway through its turn and they'll be like, oh, I'm
leaving that way. It has to go through and then decide to fly again. So on that
seed, the second to last rotation was at 95 and then the last rotation is at 91
and it flew on the 91 rotation. So it could have, the Y level was either like
91, 92, 93 or 94 or like it's not an integer so it's any of the values kind
in that range, but even if Loki built like one or two blocks higher up, it still could have flown.
It just at some point in that last swing decided that it's my time to go and then it just left.
The only thing that rank changes is it makes that zero to 20 range zero to 15. So if you go to
95 in a rank, I think it would fly maybe like maybe like 2% of it and in RST it's like 20%.
If you go to 99 in a rank, it will never, it could fly very rarely.
So the higher you push, the better it is because it has a lower chance of flying, that's it.
Yes, and so that's why, I mean obviously it's better to go higher because you can get an earlier
rotation off and you just kill a dragon earlier because you get there faster but yeah um a lot of
zeros you want to push higher because the dragon can fly if it gets to low. I understand you've never
seen mean girls. Nope. Okay homework assignment. You should have given this to me while I was in
bed for three days. Brother you're gonna be in bed again it's how it works every night.
You have a TV in your bedroom or your phone guy?
Uh, no TV in the bedroom.
I do have a phone though, yeah.
Yeah.
But yeah, I'm against TV in the bedroom.
I guess you probably have like a living room.
I don't have one.
Yeah, I got a fucking house, bro, a third one.
Yeah, that's probably, that's a big difference between-
You have like an apartment?
Yeah.
course.
I got to start just let this tree on fire.
Beasts out in a village.
What the fuck?
This is not a village.
It's a ruined portal seed.
This is just it's just already started.
Wait, what is Beasts out doing?
He's looking for the fucking room portal base.
He didn't find the room portal.
Does he even know it's a fucking room portal seed?
Why didn't he just change his pie?
No, because you pick up you pick up village beds on a block
So he probably whipped his scan because that's what you should do on a room portal
So you should whip your scan to like know where to go in a forest and he just
Okay, so what was the decision to grab one bed in two wood from the village house and then go look for the room portal
Um, well, he was maybe thinking there's a blacksmith or something or just like trying to play it in some way
I would have maybe gotten food if I was him, but it's just so fucked because he kind of just
He just loses yeah, this is like a minute a enter for EDCR beef sauce not gonna get in till damn minute 30
And he doesn't have any extra food to
Like he's no advantage except for one bed
And in the tube at the tube at speed matter to be one maybe I don't know I thought it was one it could matter
There's like it's possible
But one minute like Edie shark could go to a library if you wanted to like one okay
This is this is so bad for the mental as well
Why don't you do the portal fast instead you do it slow?
Which one all of them the there's like the portal tech where they build every part except for like the top left
And then they put a lava block and then they put water over it
For this portal, huh? The one for this one. I'll just did yeah, and you do it like I don't know fucking Liam would do it
50 second lead for Beef Sal, by the way, or excuse me, for EDCR.
Go ahead.
Okay.
He is not in the Bachelorette, though, because it's pretty far, maybe Beef Sal makes up time
on terrain.
It's just so far, I don't know.
Could you answer why you don't do it?
It's like half a second.
I'm going to do my portals slow.
How many runs do you think you've done of Minecraft in your life?
That's actually a good question.
I have 2,000 completions in rank, some of the sessions.
People sit down and chat the other day
and then I probably have, I finished like 80 AA runs.
So I've probably gotten like 500 to the mid game.
So I've probably gotten like, yeah,
probably another 2,000 like past the 1,500 to the dragon.
But if you're just talking portals in the nether, like, ooh.
I mean, yeah.
So it's like, we're talking about 4,000 completed runs.
you're doing at least like three to four portals a game,
probably three portals minimum or two portals.
You're talking about lava portals
or just build with those?
Another portals, another portals.
I thought you were talking about with the lava portals.
Oh, I guess lava portals.
Yeah, you're only doing it.
Cause I don't, I don't build without sitting in the best way
either.
So 10K portals, so 5,000 seconds divided by 60 divided by 60.
So you could have saved an hour in 40 minutes.
I'll just go to bed later today.
You could have saved an hour and 20 minutes on all your runs.
Whatever.
I mean, that's a pretty slow run, though, an hour, 20 minute run,
if you think about it.
My RSC times 20.
If it was just one run, whatever.
Yeah, fair enough.
I feel like B-flop made up something for what it's
a crazy amount of time to be clear.
I look he's zoned out.
EDCR went crazy on the 50-second walk to the Bastion.
Yeah, food's itch. They're probably gonna hunger we send the bastion. It's so awkward because even if you eat this gap
You're gonna run out of fucking sprints. Yeah, that's what won you the game keeping that gap. Oh
Yeah, I didn't watch it, but I heard you talking about I had your stream up in between games
You you watch my stream between the games
Yeah, well, I'm saying they're waiting for like a minute you can't like you know enough time to like
I mean, I left the private room when they did the full on segment
Fucking Victor when Minyama is pulling up skip Bayless between rounds
No, I'm between rounds between timeouts. Well, he's probably like listening to his coach or like stretching or something
I don't have to do there those
Okay, we're like getting water got a pause real quick. You don't think you need to stretch
No, not in life
That's not what I said just in between rounds in between game two and three of you don't need to stretch there
Yeah, that's fair. I'll give you that I'll give you that
But do we need to stretch you off?
I think everybody should everybody should stretch true. I
Still know what's happening like what why is you are going through all this just no obsidian
And so he's trying to find the file lobby because he looted the top chest
Like he doesn't know he has all he couldn't be outside it can't be outside in housing and stables
I can't be outside.
Is I don't know if this is a VP or he's just kind of doing this,
but he is sending that he just actually loses the suit like crazy.
Holy fuck.
Because he is committing a home portal.
You saw it's coming into the backup.
So you started way ahead of the four, but the problem is there's no food
and home portals already slow.
I guess it's really important.
So he's got the recent for going over.
No.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
He asked me reset and like even though the problem is pro hang,
between deaths? Yes, that's crazy. No. Yeah, I mean, it's normal just because that's what
I've been used to. But it's like, like if I was the dev of Minecraft, I like that would
call that. I guess Pearl hangs or glitches, though. No, this is controversial. Um, you
could think of that way. They don't work in newer versions. It got patched out. Yeah.
Well, I don't know if intentionally, but pearls just don't pearls just load chunks
So you can't like even if you lower your render the pearl just force loads the chunk that it's sort of always I
Don't know this is just so fuck for you sir. He asked on your set the anchor
I don't know what the explosive count is but besides 41 a wool so it's probably fine
Yeah, but be sound ain't in the fortress did yeah, but he has 20. I'll be breath
Yeah, but so he can overlap that he can overlap Edie star
Should get seven rods. Otherwise, he's playing for about a 5% chance to lose the game a lot
Which he like will not go for seven. I think but like
You got four. There's the hunger reset
Promise he's gonna have to hunger reset again because he has no food this pearls gonna land
He ate his gapl to you. Yeah. Yeah, he ate his god. I'm right on the loose. I'm right on the loose
They're not that scary it's
They're fucking terrifying
He's playing double spawner got one one. That's so tough for the spawns
5 pearls still too off big place bed from beef salad. I know I'm scared because I could get spawned on here
Why do you see our bit blaze bed?
Cuz he has no fucking health
true
Still five
Shows a lot to overlap I guess and he's only getting solo spawns kind of a lucky know you could get four spawns still even if you
On the buried spot. Yeah, it's like a 1% but it getting one is definitely lucky like getting two ones, but okay
He needs this to be it
That's not it
He's thinking about boys running to put a block above the no need no need you see two over there three
He's sure he's forcing. He's forcing the seventh row out as well. There he goes
There's four this pearl's gonna land and he's gonna have to throw like two to get to home portal
I think yes, I mean remember how four of a walk it was exactly
He might even fucking draw three, but it's also gonna change or the stronghold is there's no way they're going to the same
Yeah, but look at me sell 235 on them but games over it must have Navas fuck like this is unbelievable
How much 235 is very close because it's only like 40 blocks. Yes
30 blocks another
Well, how do you see that number that 230? Oh, I see it. I see it. This is just
Yep, this it's gonna be a little fucked here. They say that when you calc at spawn it can be fucked
Why do they say that? Oh my god, look at the distance 100 1,796. Um, I don't know who's saying that for what you'd have to elaborate or
Some say it that the calc doesn't it can be a little finicky at spawn. I've heard this
Um chat back me up
It's just because you're doing homeportals so you have to be far from the stronghold is that all you were talking about
I don't know I could never have gotten 200 distance. It's just not possible because oh
So like is this gonna average the average strong all distances like a
1,000-1,200 if you're in the middle of the ring
It's actually crazy. I fucking close this is why did we sell tweet the fuck out on the terrain? I don't know
But we got ourselves a game
That's juicy spike back left back left. I know I don't know about you Sierra spikes though. Oh, there it is
Oh, different.
Wrong way, no?
Oh, it's different stronghold, duh.
It's gonna be close.
Uh, he's behind by too much, I think.
Is there delay? He doesn't have to move around.
Oh, this is gonna be close. This is gonna be close, dude.
Two, three, four.
He's starting to save it if he saves the rotation.
This is open, so if they get to 103,
B-Saw's gonna try to push 103, but I don't know if he can get there.
Agro pearls. It's this rotation.
Oh my god.
Oh, it is on the fucking anchor!
Oh my god Wow an ECR two plus two no he fucks it unbelievable it just doesn't
matter because he didn't have his how do you how do these sound get back up he's
pro back up when we fell oh he's a 94 there's that one heart now it's over
Damn!
Bro, wow!
He looks sad, like I know his Minecraft avatar is not doing anything, but it looks sad just by the way it's moving.
Just like sitting there?
Yeah, despondent.
The chart is gonna look fucking weird.
Yeah, 45 second lead cut to 24, then it's a minute, but that's fake.
then he's down 20 seconds, then it's like fucking tied, then he loses.
That was a weird ass game.
Yeah, that was just like, I don't know.
I don't know, Beesaw lost.
Maybe he just, I think he just maybe blinded early chat.
Does anyone, I wasn't.
I mean, he fucked the zero.
That's it. No.
Well, yeah, but I thought he was going to be way more ahead into the stronghold because it was 200.
200 like to be blind on like three rods or something. So I thought it was way closer or way farther away than a fiber running three minutes of ads every game
He's evil dude. What the fuck? Bro. I forgot to switch my fucking scheduler man. I
Just walking green
Crafter
I'm telling you
In me over here. I only run 21 minutes of ads in hour nice guy Ludwig claps and chat
Hey, that's not the max. It could be worse
one's grand finals tomorrow at I don't know probably like noon wait yeah new
night yeah cuz we're doing semi still tomorrow yeah yeah two semis there to
play so it's four games tomorrow
god I hope that the people who were big in 2020 on Minecraft that drew miss MP
guys, I hope they were running 22 minutes of ads an hour.
No, they're probably some zero minute back. The culture changed
so much. Dude, back in the day, if you ran three minutes of ads
an hour, you'd be like a villain. And now the biggest
streamers on the website actually crushed 15 minutes of
ads. Yeah, it's literally 15. I don't know, because I just have
turbo, but I like, I hear about it. No, I never I cannot watch
that ads or with ads I couldn't do it.
You could do that's crazy. It was like you didn't run any ads a while ago
No, I didn't run that I ran like zero ads like people think of a fuck about the pre-rolls
Or did it not even like work like that?
The pre-roll thing happened a little after COVID maybe like 2021-2022. I think that was like a newer thing
me relatives
Fucking old head shit
You've been through it all.
I wonder what kind of primes used to pay more than like two bucks.
Yeah, they used to pay as much as regular subs.
Back in my day, type sheet.
I used to be the biggest streamer on this website. What's about a time?
Now I watch Feinberg steal victory is away from modest hard-working
Or he has three gold trophies on his little achievement thing, I can be awesome. I can get one series win
I don't even want I could not get first-rounded and it's been a year
It's been a fucking year. I I genuinely and I mean this so sincerely hope you get hit by a fucking car
I'm sorry, no, I don't go outside, so that'd be pretty hard.
I genuinely hope you fucking crush.
I don't know if I was going to get today.
I didn't die in any of the seeds.
Like when I put hacks last season, I died.
She's just going to get into my diet.
Did I die in season seven?
I don't remember.
Your risk analysis is interesting because I feel like sometimes you take risks
and other times you play pussy style.
And I it's hard to I don't know if it's just a five thing but like going for
Double triple
Was like a risky play. Yeah, but that's not like a health risk. That's just like a like a variance playlist
Are you talking about like why I didn't go for zero? Yeah, you didn't go for zero. That was scared boy
Well, I think of her zero on the
Second seed or the third seed it was because I think that was fair
I through shouldn't pearl and I just honestly have not practiced like the back 95 side setup
I would have had to go practice. Am I am I the only fine bird fan pissed off at this guy?
Like Jesus Christ, bro. I don't do the portal. It's would save half a second
So spend 20 minutes in practice
You just practice it
What do you mean? Just learn it
it because then it's not fun.
It's not fun.
I had fun even if I was on lines instead.
You're going to lose some 80 ranked player who's dog walking you.
And then you're going to get this low key.
Piss me off. You're going to say red line change it so that the
the freaking eyes are a standard eyes practice.
Get an edge.
Sorry, I got mad.
My edges gone and it's fine.
I know how to build a 95 there.
I think there's maybe a slightly better offset setup that I like.
I just haven't put in like with 3Bit and 3Anchor, I would need like a few hours on literally
just that one setup and there's just so much for 0 where it's like if I had like, I think
even if I had 4Bit and 3Anchor I would have won, but because I had 3Bit and 3Anchor and
I was already kind of late to the setup, I just didn't want to go for it at all.
And I knew that, well I didn't know that Loki didn't have fucking more beds with sheep
or whatever, but I know it's like still kind of a hard zero. Yeah, that's what I assumed.
And so it's like, in my head, like the, in the moment I was like, okay, the odds that
I hit this are maybe like 5%. And like, even if I hit it, he was in within like five seconds
of me. So if I hit it slow, he's still going to fucking win. So it's like, like, like if
I go for the sidestep and he goes for top set up, I lose anyway. So I should just not
go for it. Like it's better odds wise for me to play for him losing. And then I didn't
go for it on the last seat because I just had no health. It was just like impossible because
I didn't make a gap. I only had the apple and it was I was playing for the like the
only zero that flux me over is if it's back caged and I don't have enough health and it
just was back caged. So I would have been on the tower at a hard enough with no armor.
So I would have needed to do plus two which is possible on 90. I just didn't even know
I was gonna heal that extra heart like when I was trying to pearl to the last tower
I was on like three hearts, so I would have landed a half hour
So it's just like in my head with the apple of food. I would not want for that
And I guess I'm lucky that I flew
Bonberg is by far the laziest top player
Yeah, that's just not even fucking no like you could read a fact. I'm not facts. I'm scared me. I
Don't know facts scare you, but don't scare me. They scare me and they hurt my feelings and I'd rather avoid them
And we got double triple the gap
Close-ass game here
Yeah, look it's too fun talking to you I kind of blank out actually watching
It's the battle the Brits I
Got word in chat rec wrap owns be salad and NHB
Who said that?
The streets are saying Rec Wrap One owns NHB with Fishing Rod.
I had that on my phone. I was watching it before I did.
So question is, how can EDCR lose to someone who Rec Wrap owns?
We'll see.
How far do you think rec wrap is from being able to make a playoffs?
Like honestly pretty fucking far really because he's beating your ass
Sorry, I think he's had good wins over top-level players. No
Yeah
LCQ is just so hard
And he hasn't how far is he from calling on points?
Just so far, like there's no there's no world it'd be cool to see if he full
committed for like two seasons of like he's actually playing ranked like six
to eight hours a day trying to learn everything he's just like has too good
of a life balance like he's like he works out looks hot as hell as a life
balance looking hot as hell why is curryway looking hot all of a sudden
What's that about?
Um, what do you mean all of a sudden, I don't know, I thought he was like, he ran a 10k
this morning.
I know a sub hour 10k.
That's not bad.
I don't like if I got if I started running right now, can I do 5k is what that's to you
I can do a fine.
That's embarrassing.
5k is 3.1 miles.
3.1 miles.
Yeah.
I could do a mile.
think you could do a 5k without stopping. Oh, for sure. But I could do it in under an
hour. I would stop 100%. Of course, you could do 5k in under an hour. Like you're not. Yeah.
I mean, genuinely, that would be insane. My mother's disabled. She can do that.
Would you count a walk as stopping? Do you mean like without stopping running or that?
Like just like physically? No, a walk would be stopping. A walk would be stopped. Like
an active run like I would not run is like 12 I can maybe it's a little you
can go a little service like 12 minute pace is like this is what you can do
like a sub 45 K I guess I don't think I could do that right in these rates are
asthma but I want to start running it's just in first oh my god is he playing
for a fucking one-eyed what the fuck is he doing wait what how many how many
rods you have it's just I think he's just playing for a one-eyed are you sure
yeah he just he crafted all his powder I saw him do it and Krayway's eyes just
got boggled he does have big-ass eyes this headsets crazy but it's even
start playing for a one-eyed too so they're both playing for a one-eyed
I was beef salad in first what ass terrain did he take no he was just
heading to the fort was he well that spike is on your spice it's just some
mine chef garbage oh it is I think it's called plus mine chef garbage cuz it's
maybe an overlap spike but it's like so weird okay bad nav back to the front
You start on a different way
Could be a game-winning plan. It's just straight mid holy fuck and he gets it dude
He gets it on the better nav and be selling us. Oh, it's a one-eyed Wow
And it's a one-eyed but it wouldn't have mattered
I guess even if it was a zero I because they would both would have been the same well
But then they both would have had to go back and then there's like sure there's drama there. That would have been funny
Yeah, fucking 3.0. Well, I mean yeah, that's a 3.0, bro
He builds up one of five easy dude, it's not this is my 95 universes. I'd set up
It's not free
It's not free. Well, he'd start practices. No offense. Okay, still not free as a cross
Okay
He got it interesting. Oh my god bad damage
there you go
Bang 30 in a handshake battle the Brits you DC are on top
BAM!
EDCR looks up.
That's crazy.
He won that home portal seed.
It's actually insane.
That makes beef salad the Lakers.
How many more years do you think LeBron's going to play?
Wait, I did see that, by the way.
EDCR did pearl hang in the nether.
Is that a thing you can do?
You can pearl hang anywhere, yeah.
But can you pearl hang in the nether and then go to the overworld and then increase your
render. And but your pearls still hung in the nether. Yes. And
then when you go back to the nether, your render will be
up so don't land.
That's crazy land cross dimensional. It doesn't new
versions of an honorable versions.
That's crazy. And he did that because he sent the one I so he
sent the purling backwards just in case it was a zero I
any end of it.
That's kind of badass. Sorry. How long is the brawn going to
play bronze got I must say two years maybe me I think he maybe wants to play
with his other son how old is his other son I don't even know 16 right yet two
years there or something but is he is he also like good enough no it's not it's
Good enough, Bryce James
18 18 sorry 18
LeBron's good enough for what?
Like it's like it's Bryce James better than brawny like if you actually get on a I think so
I think Bryce is better because he's taller than brawny not as a bit. Okay. I
Think the issue with brawny is he's just short
Cuz brawny like
He's not good relative to like star players, but I feel like he from what I've seen at least and I'm not
Maybe I'm very uneducated, but it feels like he like would fit on like a like a roster
You know, it's like a as like a bench player, right?
Like I don't think it's like as nepo the higher as people are saying or war saying
I just don't know about about Bryce
Also, Blonnie had his heart attack, right?
Brani didn't have a heart attack. Yeah, but I don't know Brani was really bad in college
Like I went to his game at USC and he played like
fucking five minutes put up zero points LeBron was court side and then they benched him like
he wasn't crazy Bryce hasn't played yet in college
but we'll see
damn so edcr plays the winner of me versus hb that's it though
It's not good, bro. Okay. I might have to death and bro. I might have an announcement
Yeah, I might need to lock in
I'm gonna watch your stream anyways. I'll be out paying you. Yeah
Okay, I also needed to fucking death in because people are saying I don't know what I'm fucking talking about
Brony James is good at USC. What fucking backwards world are you living in?
Why are you talking like like Brony James is carrying USC to anything?
What are we talking about here?
What do you think brawny James was at USC? What fabricated universe have you lived in now brawny's not look?
He's gotten a lot better in the NBA
But he was nothing at USC. He was a bench player like he was he was not a starter dude. I
Don't know what this revisionist history. Let's look I'll
Pull it up. I'll pull it up
Okay, USC, 25 games played, six games started, and his points per game was 4.8, like, what
are we talking about?
You're talking about it like it's Jason Tatum at Duke.
Wasn't that?
I think it's been so nice to see someone who has not necessarily been around from the beginning
and be able to kind of break them to the seed in the way that you can see our house.
And just to have seen even over the last kind of year how much they have.
As a freshman.
And how strong they have been.
Why are we in there it is.
There it is goal post officially moved.
There it is.
I think it's been moved. We
announcement coming soon. The
announcements coming soon.
Everyone hold that. I think
like now so we're going to do
that. I think it's going to be
fun. Um one second according
to Oliver. We're not thinking
anything's out. Listen, give
us. Give us some breathing
room and also I you didn't
hear this for me but you do
not want to go anywhere after
Everyone hold so we'll get that in a second once the announcement got delayed because Fineberg stole a victory from low key
It's not my fault
ETCR, welcome to the booth. Congratulations on not just a win but a 3-0 win making it
to the semifinals. How are you feeling after that matchup?
I feel great. I'm really happy to make it to the final day, especially after my previous
playoffs performances. It's a really nice contrast to make it to the final day.
Yeah, absolutely. I mean I wanted to definitely ask you about that. I mean you have obviously been a leaderboard demon for a long time now.
I mean we were talking about your win rate this season is 80% which is like we haven't seen 80% win rate since like season one.
Is this going to smile?
Like it's just crazy what you.
Oh I always thought of it as two eyes and a mouth that were very low with like a KSI level forehead.
in these playoff games now, compared to like what you maybe think when you're just doing a 1v1 on the leaderboard compared to a back-to-five?
Or is there really no thought or no difference between the two?
Like what's kind of the, what do you think you're going to do with this back-to-five?
It's hard for me to see it.
Um, well, if you asked me that like two playoffs ago, my answer would have been very different.
But to be honest, now it just feels like a normal ranked match kind of like I get a bit nervous,
now this but in honestly I just kind of feel like I'm playing ranked which really helps.
That's awesome. Rose what do you got?
So I wanted to ask it was in seed two you were obviously in a bastion for a little while because
you're waiting for the obsidian and you obviously made the decision to go for home portal and it
was obviously quite far from where you were in the bastion as well so just wanted to kind of
of get your thoughts on that because what ended up happening was beef actually waited
and got backups to then trade to get more obi and you obviously went for home portal.
So just wondering to kind of get your thoughts on what your sort of decision making is of
when do you take that risk and when do you make that decision to kind of play home portal?
Well, home portal was definitely slow there, but I still think it's better than forcing
20 because first of all you're not guaranteed to get 20 from five gold blocks. Like I think we had
14 obby so you would need six obby from five gold blocks. It's definitely possible but it's also
quite unlike it's not guaranteed I'll say and um yeah I just I feel like it it's an interesting
flavor. I don't think it's quite correct so I just kind of forced home portal even though it's a bit
slow. I feel like a lot of times too it's also just about like you just have to make
a decision, right? Like you just have to decide on something and
committing to that early, I think really helped you. I want to
talk a little bit about the last seat as well. I mean, going for
a one eye, I don't know if you know this yet, but Bisa also went
for a one eye. So both of you were, were seeing a one eye
there in the last seat. I know you've, you've talked about
before how you think going for a one eye is like there's a lot
of like skill and thought process and going for that. So I
was really curious what your mindset is going for that when
you know, you, you know, you could lose basically on the spot.
I think it's a really interesting concept.
And I think in that situation, I think it was really honestly a good play for
both of you, but curious to hear your thoughts as the runner.
Yeah, everyone hold the announcements coming on everything from like playing
him on the ladder.
I know he likes to do that play.
And I think it's the correct play.
So you kind of just in that situation where I'm not that far behind, I kind
of just have to do the same thing.
Knowing that right after this, I'm definitely more experienced at running back.
So if it's a zero, I just win.
And if it's a one-eye,
I have like a decent chance of winning.
Maybe a bit less than 50%,
but still a decent chance.
I'm happy EDCR won.
He's had a lot of tough playoffs tournaments.
I want to say something after, of course, please do,
but I wanted to ask like beef salad
is someone you've played so many times in the ladder.
You just brought it up as well.
I mean, like, I think, I think Rose, you mentioned it.
They played like 140 times in the last like three seasons
or just something absolutely absurd.
You're going to now go into a game where I don't know how much you've played
Feinberg or NHB, but it's probably not nearly as much as beef salad. Do you
think about that at all going into your next matchup or is it kind of just, you
know, you're thinking about your own play, you're just going to do whatever you can
to win in semi-finals? Well it's definitely nice to know how my opponent plays
because I like to do quite a lot of meta gaming. Like for example in that last
see that I sent the one I know he would send it to. So yeah, I don't really have too much
experience playing it as the final NHB. So it's definitely, I would rather play beef
as the final NHB in terms of that.
Makes sense. Rose, you got anything else?
I think my, I guess you kind of, you kind of asked the question there, but do you, do
you have a preference of who you'd want to play over, over final NHB in your semi final?
Definitely an HB. I'd love to see an HB make it for because she's my friend and they will be nice to play against him
But also this is his last playoffs and I want to see him do as well. That's sad. He said he's gonna take a break off to this
Yeah, absolutely you've all some friendship that it's always nice to play against your friends. Hopefully and then at least one of you goes through yeah
Yeah, I mean each year. Congratulations. We'll see you tomorrow
best of luck in your matches and
and I hope to talk to you soon.
Thank you. Oh my god, it's time.
Thank you.
Amazing stuff. Well,
I mean, W stuff.
Oh, I need to do this.
There we go. Amazing bird getting all set up here.
Now I don't hear myself.
This is actually so wonderful.
W friendship rose.
W friendship. Yeah, we'd love to see that.
I'll be friend.
I think that's really cool.
And I think that's honestly just been a theme.
I mean, ACR talked about it last class as well
when he went up against Steeze,
like I think just having people in the community
that are your friends and like push you to be better
is really awesome.
And I think that's what makes MCSR really special.
And I mean, again, huge congrats to EDCR there,
but that's not the only thing that's going on, Rose.
That's not the only thing.
We have something really cool to show you.
And it's so cool that you do not want to be
for the next like minute or so.
So Oliver, take it away.
It's happening!
We're live!
Yes, y'all!
We are packing 12!
Probably!
Minecraft obsessed, socially awkward teenagers in a room and having them duke it out to see who the best Minecraft player is in the world!
I'm hosting a y'all game.
I'm hosting it y'all guys. I'm hosting it. I'm putting up all the bread. I'm doing the production for it
We are running it. It's gonna be this June, June 20th and 21st
It's gonna feature every single playoffs champion from the last three seasons
So it's gonna be basically an annual culmination the Super Bowl of MCS our rank because playoffs right now writes this online event
It's cool happens every few months, but there's not a champion
There's not like a person who at the end of the year can say hey, I'm the best I won
That doesn't exist. That's what this is bro. It is the Super Bowl
MCS are ranked world championships and it is world bro
Americans blow I'm telling you this fine bird guy
He better fucking qual today because not a lot of Americans in this event right now. All right
It's basically in foomey holding it down and God knows if loyve has an album coming out same day
He's probably gonna drop so we need some representation
Anyway, y'all that's the game plan $25,000 prize pool. I'ma post it on Twitter if you guys want to do me a favor
I post it on Twitter. I posted it off. You don't have Twitter on Instagram
But just give it some love let the people know about it. You guys can come attend in person
It is totally free. I don't need your money
It's just gonna require an RSVP so I can guarantee that you actually show up
But that's the game plan who are the 12 players. All right, so here's the way it works
Here's the way it works and there's gonna be some more information coming soon about a qualifier
Because not all the spots are taken
This one's gonna be a little bit weird
Because the event was announced in season 10
But the goal for this one is to feature the people who succeeded in the three playoffs leading up to the event, right?
So, seasons 8, 9, and 10 are the ones we looked at, and the top three from each of those event auto-qualify.
Alright? Now, there is some overlap, obviously, because Hacks is kind of goaded in one twice.
So, there's going to be eight players from those three seasons, and then we have four more players who are going to qualify.
Okay? I think there's going to be a qualifying video that'll come up,
up, but there's basically going to be a qualifier that happens. I think next week. So Skycrabs in it.
I don't, I would hate to be wrong here, but yeah, I'm pretty fucking sure.
Top three from the last three seasons. Do the top three of mid-offs auto qualify? No,
no, but the winner of the ass-offs does. So it will be super TF. Yes, it will be super TF
and he will be there.
No, it has nothing, there's phase points of nothing to do with it.
It is purely your placing at playoffs.
So whoever gets top three this weekend will qualify, which I think funny enough, I don't
know if anyone who's still in the event is even qualified right now so there's
going to be three new players right maybe infumi actually I think infumi's
called infumi's called but outside of infumi there's gonna be at least two new
people where is it it's gonna be live in Los Angeles maybe live in LA live in
Los Angeles mods. Can we pin this?
Anyway, it's going to be a two day event. There's going to be 12 total
players in Mungie. Mungie got top three. Yeah, I don't, I don't exactly know the
roster off top. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not going to lie to you. I don't know all
the fucking names off top.
But Link is right there. Link is right there for anyone who needs it. So about the last
chance qualifier, last chance qualifier is going to be next weekend. I think there should
be a video that drops soon with some information.
it depends because the amount of qualifying spots will change, you know, depending on whether Infumi
makes it to top three or big, big, monkey. You know what I'm saying?
How many seats will there be at the LAN? Like max 100 and 200. It's not huge. Honestly, I'll tell
I'll tell you guys, my goal for this event, okay,
my goal for this event, and I think what is very realistic,
is to be like the Geogester World Cup.
You know, it's a niche community.
I think it's a passionate community.
I think it's a very cool community.
And I think it has a potential for, you know,
high viewership just because, you know,
Geogester is something everyone relates to,
because it's just geography, it's the world.
And then Minecraft is something everyone relates to,
because it's the biggest game of all time.
So I think it's a goal for it.
So, I want it to be similar to the first GeoGuessr World Cup, you know?
It's going to be a little more intimate.
It's going to feature,
you know, best runners in the world.
It should be hype.
There will be no auto-quals. Everyone's going to call.
Look, let's pull the website.
Let's pull up the website. Here it is. mcsr.loading.gg.
MCSR ranked world championships.
Here it is, boys.
Let's take a look. Let's take a look. Let's take a look.
Today, live event featuring your favorite MCSR players.
Maybe not if you're a Fyberd fan.
We'll see how it goes today. No shade thrown.
Double elimination bracket qualifier will be May 23rd.
Top two are invited to MCSR World Championships.
So we're doing a regular double elimination bracket qualifier.
That'll be next Saturday next Sunday is gonna be a traditional qualifier. We're top two are invited
Okay
So there's gonna be two different ways to qualify both next weekend, so it's gonna be more Minecraft next weekend
We're gonna watch both the qualifiers. I
Believe the double elimination bracket. I'm pretty sure is the top 64. Why are you organizing this because I'm rich and I can
The players already confirmed are Big Big Mungy, Infumi, Hax, Skycrab, and Doogle.
And then obviously we don't know who the three that will qual from season 10, but we are
going to find out that exact information tomorrow.
if infumi or monkey get top three then we're gonna have to have another person qualified in
it's you're totally right that it's possible that we have two more people we have to qualify in
at the very least there's gonna be four quals it could go up to six
I hope low key enters the qualifiers. Yeah, we have two qualifiers. I believe the double elimination bracket is the top 64 players. Let me check with Aiden.
Aiden
In Fumi will be there to DJ yes
Who gets into the qualifiers it's the traditional qualifier format I believe the traditional qualifier format allows the top 100
people with phase points
to enter
And then this is a traditional double elimination bracket, and I think it's top 64 I'm pretty
sure top 100 phase points from season eight, nine and 10 for the traditional one.
Any casters confirmed?
I don't think I have a caster announcement yet.
We'll have a caster announcement soon, but I'll tell you right now my goal is to have
many representatives from the MCSR ranks community to be honest. You know, I don't want to just get
like three or four casters that hold it down over the course of two days. I'd rather do a bunch
of different blocks and get as many people involved, even though it costs more in flights, hotels,
whatever. But, you know, ultimately, I think this event only exists because of the community.
What's the website? mcsr.loaded.gg. What's upside?
are you commentating so here's what I want to do I don't want to commentate I
don't think I make sense as a commentator and I think if someone's gonna
tune in to the Minecraft World Championship and I'm watching the stream
go let's fucking go low key kill fine bird it might be an experience that you
You know, some kids who just see that or whatever, who are watching the stream wouldn't really enjoy.
So my game plan is to be like a K-DRAW for this, you know, or only pixel or a TARIC or whatever you want to say.
I'm going to co-stream it.
So I'm going to let the casters kind of how we do for playoffs do their thing.
I will be live on site co-streaming it, but I don't feel like I need to be a part of the main broadcast.
I can just co-stream the main broadcast.
plus, and I don't want to count myself out here. I still have a chance to qual. Okay,
there is a universe. Are both LCQ events full open to everyone? They're not open though.
It's the traditional LCQ. So I believe in traditional LCQ, it's the top 100 based off
the last chance qualifier was
for playoff season 10 or it's
similar to that. And then for
the double elimination bracket.
I think 151 people were invited.
It'll depend how many accepts
that'll determine the bracket
size.
How is it 12 players for a bracket
wouldn't it be better to have
a bracket that's more than
a single player?
I think it's better to have
a bracket that's more than
a single player.
I think it's better to have
a bracket that's more than
a single player.
I think it's better to have
a bracket that's more than
players for a bracket wouldn't be 16. It's a good question. 12 players isn't an even bracket.
And the top four players are all going to receive a buy. I think there's two reasons
to do this. One, a 16 person event takes quite a long time. If you think about it in playoffs,
they do this over four days across two weekends. And each day is about five hours. If you were
to shove that into two days, it'd be like 10 hour days. It's a lot for the players. So
That's part of the reason it's 12, okay?
It reduces the amount of time
the players need to compete at.
But it also rewards someone who has won playoffs
because they'll get a buy.
So, you know, for example, Hacks has a buy.
He does not need to play around one.
That's like a reward he gets,
a little cookie he gets for being a champion.
The website's mcsr.ranked.
Uh, mcsr.loadwood.ug.
only top two in person is a bit unfair don't you think I don't know what that means Vistrid
how do we decide top four so seeding is going to be decided pretty simply the one and two
seeds are going to be the the two champions from the last three seasons sorry there's
another Vistrid, not you Vistrid. So I can tell you a lot of questions. That's fair.
Whoever wins this championship, whoever wins tomorrow is going to be a two seed
Hacks is going to be the one seed.
Okay, that's locked.
Okay, and I think that's fair because they,
whoever is going to win tomorrow,
are going to be a champion.
Hacks was a champion, right?
Over the past year,
they were the best individual players
because they proved it in playoffs.
So they're going to be the one and two seeds.
The other 10 players,
and we're pulling a page out of the ass-offs,
are going to enter into,
I don't know exactly how it's going to work,
But they're all going to be doing the same seed and maybe it'll be a best of three accumulative time something like that
But they're all basically going to just do the same seeds
Day one of the event and that'll determine their seed
How do you get invited to the qualifiers be good at Minecraft
short. Shortest time. Yeah, it's not. I don't think it's going to be like one seed because
I think that's a little too RNG, but, but it's going to be something like that.
Do you need a halftime show? I actually think I have a halftime show already in mind. Anyway,
Anyway, with that in mind, boys, the MCSR ranked championship is real, and it means that these eight players are not only playing for the pride of being a playoff champion, they're also playing for a qualifier spot.
And the third place match matters a whole lot more.
Now, this first match we're about to watch here, big, big, monkey vs. AquaCord.
These are all going to be locking up top four, not necessarily guaranteeing you qual, but
giving you a really good shot at it.
This Skycrab get a buy since he won MCSR live.
No, MCSR live is an offshoot event not related to this.
I'm only considering playoffs for this because you have to think about it, we, we have to
make something that's repeatable and consistent.
I think in the future, an event like MCS are alive could be a qualifier, but I think you'd,
you have to state that beforehand.
But I do think the playoffs are going to be, because here's the deal, I want this event
to exist this year, but I also wanted to exist next year.
I want it to exist in five years.
You know what I mean?
I think it's possible to have an MCSR World Championship
every single year.
And I think the most consistent way to do it
is use the playoffs as the qualifiers for the event.
That's the goal.
What if Mungy and Fumi get top three more LCKQ spots?
I have to double check. Can we cook a musical intro like league does it? Yeah, and it's
hacks singing like let it snow, but it's a Minecraft parody.
Vineberg blows, Vineberg blows.
Don't choke the zero cycle anymore.
That could be a vibe.
We could consider.
can we get more RSVP spots are they all gone
are they all gone they're not all gone yet right
Yeah, wait, they're all gone.
Why is it they're gone?
We're adding more.
4.
Wait, W motion.
What the frick?
Selling my RSVP 400 or best offer whisper me.
Please do not buy an RSVP spot
We're gonna have to figure out a solution for this we'll figure it out bro. We'll figure it out
Dude, we'll figure it out
Was it only 200 people two inches a lot of people it's year one brah. I'm not gonna sell it out of fucking arena. I
Upped it to 600. Oh shit RSVPs are open
RSVP does not guarantee a spot good coms by Liza
So I get you in there. No
questions asked.
Anyway, tell your friends MC start ranked world championship.
And also, I think the logo is lit.
I love that graphic for the logo
This shit I think is so awesome
How are you managing to make it free I mean as most events that I do I really try not to make my money by
Selling tickets. I try to make my money by just having good partners who are down with to work with me on like making an event happen
So AT&T alien wear Red Bull. That's the only reason I do events
Or I can do them
And like not lose money
For monkey it's the fifth for aquacord, you know, they've both been in semi-finals
that they're both very very strong runners. So it's going to be really really interesting. I think, you know, especially this, this first seed is going to hopefully is the flight. Yeah, we're flying out all the players, of course, we fly at all the players, we give all the players are to the players should
money doing this event, you know what I mean? Will there ever
be an MCSR event outside the US ever? There's literally an
MCSR event happening at TwitchCon EU that's already been
announced. Yeah. Free food, yeah, free food. I don't think for
the 600 people who are showing up, but we might have a food
truck or something. Are you releasing any merch for the event?
No, I don't think we have any plans to release merch that is specific to the event
You have to understand that like we are running an MCSR event, but like, you know Minecraft still owns the IP
I can't put Minecraft Steve on a fucking t-shirt and sell it
Is Red Bull sponsoring it? Red Bull sponsors everything I do. They just don't care to have
their logo on stuff. As I speak into a microphone with their logo on it. But you get what I
How much does it cost to buy the mods?
Feinberg!
Hey. Sorry.
What are you munching?
You fucking munching on some food there? Chipotle?
Yeah.
Did you ask for extra food?
food no they can't say no if you ask for more I know that but I ordered online so dude
you have to qualify now I know are you locked no all right type shit
my god no wood desert village this is fucking stupid no wood desert village oh there's not a
tree nearby grabbing as many sticks she's uh luckily the when he gets sticks from the bush
it's fine bird going if he doesn't qual if fine bird qualifies or doesn't qualify he's banned from
the premise just to be clear one gravel that's it as well yeah only one but yeah you're gonna
fly me out you never done qual i'm gonna fly you out and then there will be shooters on site heads up
so please come through you will be destroyed we're all red and meet me meet me meet me south
I would like anyway, yeah, we're already we're already
Yeah, I'm excited for the land
I feel like it's gonna be like three Minecrafters face
the top five again I don't like any time a player makes a questionable play and
plans I just assume that I'm wrong like I'm one of the top five big big
money's face revealed and I guess yes there's a land I don't know I guess that's
the problem I'm not exactly sure because I feel like the play from money just makes
so much more sense you're so what if he makes it so I don't know exactly what
If Loki makes a duke walls, he would.
I mean, if a lot of people make it to the cause, probably they would as well.
Um,
I feel like it's such a Minecraft specific thing.
Yeah.
Not having face cam.
Did you face reveal?
But no, I just always scream with face cam.
Like that's what I meant.
Like, did you ever not see the face cam?
No.
Why is this Gatorade so hard to open in my week?
Yes, 100%.
Sorry. No, man.
You can be honest.
They make Gatorade's heart open for consumers.
Big, big, Bungie. Who do you expect to win this?
Um, I mean aquacord reverse web dude, but monkeys like such a clean
player, I feel like
I don't know but aquacord hasn't pressed me the last couple of months. Where's aquacord from again, Canada?
Yeah
Maybe BC, I don't actually I think it's from America's washed
To the people that are already going are from America
Yeah, but like of the people in the event right now, there's only two Americans left, right?
So it's human infumi.
Uh, an HP is for this.
Okay.
Three.
Yeah.
Not bad.
It's just surprised to me how international the talent pool is for minecrafts.
I mean, there's just like, I don't know, like ping doesn't matter.
Yeah, I guess it's true.
Yeah, ping not mattering is actually really interesting because they say like, you know,
if you play League of Legends, you know, like an NA server or like an Australian server
is going to be, you know, weaker than like, obviously the Korean ladder.
Yeah, it's like you can, you can play everybody always, like, you're not like limited to only
playing the people in your region.
So it is not like the, the butterfly perspective, like, yeah, exactly.
Like that matters a lot probably not like, not even necessarily like the ping, but just
Like the fact that like everyone can play against each other the games on American
Yeah, but there's not a single good Swedish player
What and I'm not gonna fact check that I'm just gonna say the sentence and move on
Skycrub might be Swedish. No, he's Norwegian. No, yeah
Right
There are good Swedish players
Name seven
Um, crooks and you be sure it all fucking chat.
I got three four seven more than you thought.
Oh, 14, 18, not bad.
True.
Better than you.
That's not hurt me.
More of a rain.
I mean, in a full way.
Yeah, if you have one R.S.G. run on the books.
I mean, you only need one to get world record could you imagine first run
That's some like 2000 fucking 15 shit
Couldn't happen nowadays
I mean if someone only plays ranked like he's here I did but he has like a low eight time
Just as he was playing when it was bored like actually having your first run be world record would be crazy
But UD Star didn't play any RSG, just started with ranks.
Who's Crookst?
What?
What do you saw?
Nothing.
Not in a bad way.
It's just sad.
He was like the best player in the world for like six months.
I had like four runs that could have easily gotten a world record and just all had like
some bullshit in the end one way or another.
And then he quit.
And he never got hold of it.
He made it to the Geo.
No, he made it to the GeoGusser World Cup finals two years ago.
What?
Yep, he just switched to GeoGusser and it was really fucking good.
So just was sake of RNG and quit?
I guess.
I don't know.
I never talked to him that much.
He was so good.
I just never got world record or like three years ago at this point it's fucking 2026
52 obby yeah it's good amount wait who's in lead right now it's big big monkey getting
crushed? Why isn't he cout?
Because he's been billed first.
I could only as I don't know the calculator works. Does he have
two rods and four eyes? Or does he have?
I don't know how it works.
Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah, it seems like it's
yeah, two rods and four eyes, because they don't remove the
rods.
Oh, yeah, the rods.
Okay
Never is jinksy
Pussy
I don't know
That's actually lit. How do you guys pretend you like that?
Oh, he built a portal.
I guess my viewers talk to me the same way.
Oh, he's going first, though.
Oh, it's so fucked.
Like this turn is so bad for me.
Stay mad, bro. I own JNC and League of Legends.
It is what it is.
It's not in the hallway.
It opens.
It's just so out of all court.
They're like one cycle, like one blaze or something.
How the hell did he?
So you never sent the one eye?
No, I never would never would you never would ever in a billion years
Your whole family gets nuked if you don't go for it. Okay. Well, then I would okay
So the morals are fickle this principled man will crack for a simple quandary. I
Don't think that was a fair
Who's never like a in-game reason yeah
It's kind of scary. Why is he at 1.5?
No way. It's 9.
Whoa. Nerves, nerves, nerves, nerves, nerves, nerves, nerves.
No, no, no.
How far below do you have to be? This seems kind of close.
Or is this just an FOV thing?
It's an FOV thing. That was really bad.
But he's so far ahead. If Aqua was close, he could definitely make time up on the 0.
Because it's going to be like ancient cycles?
It's actually...
I have another better case for it.
I was going to say, if it's one of these anchors, it's kind of scary.
Oh, Jesus, okay, big, big monkey game one, not super close to be honest.
I don't know what happened on aquacord like I feel like they were close in the fortress
and there's a 42nd maybe he just like was behind one blade on a cycle or something
or or a stride 40 seconds, it could be aquacord got the top set up to what if you know for
for sure it's a one-eye.
Is there a way to know it's a one-eye know, right?
Nope.
Okay, how about this?
Blind, don't even go for the blazes first.
Blind to the stronghold, find out how many eyes there are,
then go back to the fortress, then get the eyes.
That's just not fast.
You alone, Feinberg?
I didn't say that.
Today.
Dude, look how tired this fuck, maybe I actually should nap.
Yeah, you should, bro.
It's like, am I even going to be able to lie down for like an hour?
Is that even possible?
Do you think it is more effective as a pre game to stream and spectate and entertain 5,000 people or to lie down?
And I can't answer that because I'm not a competitor.
I'm a gold player.
Hmm.
Just raid me, bro.
Fuck it.
I'm leaving my shit out and I'm putting nothing in the corner.
All you have to do if you want, you can just you can even leave them with my stream or
you can just fucking co-stream it and pull it up, bro.
Yeah, I'm just going to pull it up, pull it up, man, fuck it.
I'm thinking about it.
I was like good like an hour ago and now I feel like I'm fucking tired.
I figured out how it works when you don't sleep well.
It was just fucked.
Cause I actually got in bed early.
Like if I slept when I got in bed, I would have slept for eight hours.
And then I slept for five since she couldn't fall asleep.
You've got to bed eight hours before you're supposed to wake up.
Yeah.
Mistake one.
One 30.
Why?
Cause you, when you get in bed, there is always a natural buffer to get in bed,
to fall asleep. And it differs per person. But I feel like if you really need to sleep,
you have to set yourself up for success by getting in bed like an hour before you need
to fall asleep.
Well, that's what I did. I got on bed at 130. And I'd be fine with seven hours of sleep
going to bed at 230, but I didn't fall asleep till five.
Yeah, that's tough.
30 or something. That's what I did get.
Are you a melatonin guy?
No.
You never try it?
No.
Me and my boys used to OD on melatonin back at ASU.
Just knock you off for a good few hours.
Yeah, we'd pop a fuck ton, drink sunny D, feel the sugar in our teeth.
Borgham Devils.
Been offered a nap. That's just like if you got a fuck up.
No, it's like that's like. Yeah. Yeah.
Okay, I'm dude. I'm gonna deaf in and I think you fucking you run your fucking life
I won't tell a man what to do, but I think you nap, bro
Yeah, I'm thinking about it. I'll deaf in so then you feel less pressure. I
Appreciate that. I'll make my own decision. All right Godspeed soldier
All right boys, we are here game two and it's big big monkey Versaoco cord now
Now here's the deal, Big Big Mungy's already qualed.
So a Big Big Mungy win here doesn't necessarily
double qual, which you can't do,
but like double qual for the event,
it would nearly mean that he's one step closer
and AquaCord's dreams of qualing through season 10 playoffs
would be a rip.
A little inside baseball.
We told every player still in the event about the event beforehand.
So all these players already knew about the Minecraft World Championship beforehand.
The reason we did that, I was a little nervous that, you know, partway through the event,
you find out that getting top three means you qualify for this World Championship.
It might add a level of pressure.
That's like a bit stressful.
the day of the event. So they knew like they had like about a week heads up. So they all
had that knowledge going in. There's no there's no extra stress for them.
Two stacks of gravel to get Flint. It doesn't. So it wouldn't really make any difference.
Is there anyone not going to a land?
They spawn in a buried soul. I mean, yes, most most people in the world will not go.
I think it's true. It could matter. I think I like I also heard I think I think iron
Diamond shovel actually makes no difference on this was act after the hacks ever match. It was like Monday pretty silly stuff
This kelp though not looking this was after the match. This is after the match. This is not
Let's let's get out the poly market throwing allegations
So it's gonna be heading down here
Trying to figure out if this is gonna be real what if someone calls who doesn't want to go
Then they won't go
This is okay much more real for him, but they don't have to go
It'll be entering first year after winning the first seed in a good position here aquacord, maybe 10 seconds by
Yeah, and just you see now is this gonna be a close bastion nice clear
You know high number on the you
Fuck yeah, monkey
You know boat clutch across the gap that doesn't quite make the parkour jump, but yeah, it's still a little bit far
Would you play why would you play in the qualifiers and not go? I don't know
I think you just wouldn't play in the qualifiers probably
How much do you like press I don't like press ever
The most I've ever squatted it's like three 85 I think
Yeah
It is stables, but I'm weak now. I wouldn't squat more than 225 better training what aquacorps was doing
This is just not gonna be
Nearly the same 35 kilograms. Yeah, I think single leg squat pistol squat
We going down not even checking the top part of the chest. This is gonna be more time loss having to find through all these blocks
And well, you just looks really good right now
I mean, this is some really high-level gameplay.
Aquaport is going to try and find a way
to get back into this game here.
Barely blocks off a pig.
And I mean, Monkey looking lights out.
Yeah, just well on the way into the route.
Able to use the shears to quickly break through leaves
as well as something you picked up on in the previous game.
Close match.
From Monkey, but just a lot faster, just a lot.
Oh my gosh, Aquaport is taking a lot of damage though.
which just saved him a lot of time.
Absolutely big, big monkey in the lead here, main section,
a lot of piggies.
Aquacort again, maybe 15, 20 seconds.
That's a lot of piggies.
A little bit of time here.
And then you can lift more than 50% of your viewers.
Better.
Uh, yeah.
But mungies clearly in the lead.
We need to find out what you're talking about.
The management.
Not close.
I'm a little more than like 90%.
But the sport is not very close.
It's like 15 or 16, but it's not like a flex.
I think most people just don't go to the gym to lift for pretty much.
It's not like it's not like a more virtuous thing to go to the gym.
I mean, a lot of people could outrun me.
A lot of people are probably better than me at like, I don't know,
like fucking table tennis or pickleball or whatever thing you're into.
Or maybe it's certain video game sort of route to take to get to the four
as easy as possible, because you don't want to make the wrong decision.
It's not like extra virtuous because I have been bench pressing for however many years
But I just have been doing it and so I I'm confident I can do it more than most people because I I doubt
You know 90% of you guys do it as often as I have
Yeah, really nice fine for monkey
Still wide I do cardio said yeah, like I I'm definitely worse than most of you guys are running. I think I'm not great at running
I'd like to be better. That's actually something I'd rather work on leaving. He is an aquacord making up a ton of time
What's your PB? I thought he had max my bench in like two years got more pigs. I stopped doing one red max is I don't really
Really play that bash enjoy that exercise. He actually got there. So yeah problem for both these runners. There was where's the fortress
Yeah, what's your peak boulder and great nerdy? I think I
I did one V five, but I think it might have been like a Mickey V five
What I was mostly going for V fours
But I've done like a couple it's like probably I probably like five V fives ever
I'm really bad at any small grips
We're still getting chased by the odds as well.
Nick could somehow hold himself to the wall
on like an edge, like fucking like this.
And I can't.
I was also a lot fatter when I used to boulder.
I was like 205 bouldering.
That's kind of why I didn't like bouldering.
And it's actually an issue in the sport.
Is that I think there's a lot of like eating disorders
in the sport because you are just better at it
when you're lighter.
actually like crazy
Yeah, they are they are the bad part but monkey is in a way better spot in the bad part
I'm pretty maybe it's just a few but I thought that was much more. Oh, no awkward ended up actually taking fine terrain
I thought it was actually a little bit more different than money, but I am wrong
He finds the spawner doesn't have a bed pre-craft was it a soft shimmer legit time to this
I think the gyms in L.I. are pretty legit
Sometimes I would go to a gym like when I was traveling and I felt like they would be hard in a way
That was like trying to have the reputation of a hard gym. You know what I mean?
Like sometimes I'd go to the gym and they'd set their v3s in a way. That's like like fuck you bro
Like what are we doing here?
I want to a gym in New Hampshire
Kind of and it was like
Just the attitude of the workers. They're kind of like a little fucking
They only want to see their regulars walk through the door as well. So and their v3 had like a dino in it
And I was like, yeah, this shit's crazy
I wanted Nick and Nick was better than me at climbing or both struggling on it. I was like, all right
Yeah
He's racer great five rods for each player, but awkward having a hungry set taking so much more damage
without the purling where monkey I mean is gonna stop the hunger reset going to
chords but it's not far and awkward probably gonna have to hungry reset again
anyway so money said the one I hunger reset over aquacord here and actually
awkward has this whole spawn cycle gets the rod and is leaving before I was
aquacord out first monkey did not clear the blaze spawner quick enough because
the bed where I'm pre-crafted my gosh lost a blazer to and now aquacords in
the lead after all that and it's pretty close also very different terrain what
is this terrain decision bro building the portal now what is this terrain
decision by monkey yeah and just much much brother where are you going over
the terrain there but aquacort as opposed to monkey who is still digging this is a
throw no this is a generational throw not sure if aquacort sees a spike that he
quite like I don't think he loves this where are we going now heading way more
towards after that most recent spike and okay I found it found it found it and
that's actually a beautiful path to the hunger reset as well as aqua cord but
I'll court ahead by at least 20 yeah it's you do now has the CG bro 100 cord
blocks this up hit the zero it's caged 055 a little bit of a weird O value for
some runners that handles it very nicely not a ton of explosives only six but
Monkey only has five, so very close for these runners.
It's also a packed small boy again.
So it's getting hard to really push here,
especially with the cage.
Only gonna be able to go to 90.
Is the dragon going to fly
is really the big question here and it does.
So Monkey is not gonna be able to get 95 either.
So guess what Rose,
we have another portraits on our hands here.
Yeah, and as we've already seen,
it doesn't matter if you entered.
Okay, let's see it. It's a perch race round two.
Okay, so now they both half bow, it's totally random who wins.
Oh, is monkey even half bowing?
There's
What was that trying to maybe place for the anchors, but just was too close to the dragon
That's confusing
Yeah, I had to go for one shot. He tried to one shot
Like it's so hard to go for one shot when you don't have like a
No setup my knowledge. I'm sure there's been more developments and stuff, but
Very very risky play
For I mean would have been crazy if it paid off. It would have been actually crazy hype
Because I don't think there's ever been a I've seen a video of a one shot before but usually it requires some
Setup I've never seen someone just raw dog a one shot like that. You can just la la la stroll into the the victory here
I mean, I guess I get the logic right the dragon
Flying and then re perching is probably going to be slower than the dragon perching for monkey
Although I will say mungies RNG is not great here. So maybe not there it is. That's a perch
Okay, do you hit the one cycle surely
Why is there a dolphin nice for aquacord? Oh sure
Oh, L damage? That's fine, that's fine, that's fine, that's enough.
Light work, light work, light work, light work. All right! Wow, our slowest game of the day for sure. 12 minutes.
Thank you, Tiggs Rook for the 100!
quite what you would have expected, but it'll come down to the game three,
aquacord against the wall.
Look at that 30 seconds faster in the stronghold, 20 seconds faster into the
end. Even seed. I mean, really, it was really even until aquacord just really
dominated on the stronghold terrain map. I mean,
really good job getting that second portal. Still enter. Okay.
So what do we have here?
Dragon flies for both. We have two more matches after this, right? Okay.
So what's gonna end at like absolutely disaster is really good, especially when now you're down to oh
Yeah, definitely, and you know, we've talked about it before gold. Can you show what a one shot looks like?
I could look up a fucking video scenario this time last week, and he was able to reverse sweet against you well
So he's got at least
This is kind of a weird one to be fair.
Here's how speedrunners one shot the dragon in 116 at the bar.
As the dragon perches you hide under a block so the dragon can't see you as this forces
the dragon to fly away faster.
Once it's landed, use blocks or a boat to get up.
The dragon will do 10 flaps of its wings before it flies away.
In that time, use 30pov to align yourself to this exact position while you charge up
your bow.
After 8 or 9 flaps, you pause, then decrease your frame rate to 20fps.
You hold shift while clicking on statistics, then you press tap and space to open and close
that menu.
When statistics is open, your game goes forward one frame, which of 20fps is one tick.
By spamming opening and closing it, you are able to advance your game one tick at a time until the dragon kicks you.
When you take damage, you then unforce, which will shoot your arrow, one-shotting the dragon.
Here's how speedrunners one-shot the dragon in 1-16 in the park.
As the dragon purrs...
So I guess the game is taking the speed at which you are flying away from your arrow as the speed of the arrow?
There's a new one-shot?
I mean we saw Monji flies where she's standing 91 crazy so if it flies there for him it's
gonna fly there for everybody so like it's probably possible to get to 95 on the practice
map if you grind this out and you get perfect pearls and you have a gold pick
pre-crafted but I just don't think it's like a feasible thing. There's only a
minute and a half and Pablo I mean shouldn't be able to zero this. Are they
even gonna be able to finish in 15 minutes? I mean we'll see but this
dragon shouldn't fly here. Going to 91. Pablo is pushing 95 and gets that off.
Is it enough kb with the second one here? Wow. Pablo actually pushed 95 and I
I think just got that's very impressive. I think the only person I'm gonna see to push on you. Yeah, but that's really something
Not at all what I thought was gonna be for some reason I thought this gonna be a one-shot
Where's the dope ass one shot?
Make sure you have a blast resistive block or end zone in your bar and then build a setup like this
You can also build a safer Sturkey setup like this, just in case for when a low-perch Dragon's
hitbox might get in your way while trying to build up later on.
Then, just like one cycle, look to see which side the dragon head is swinging towards, and
go to that side.
The amount of hits you do here depends on your weapon.
If you have a stone axe or an iron axe, hit it 5 times.
If you have an iron sword, hit it 8 times.
We do this to deal just under 50 damage, which is the amount of damage the dragon can take
before it flies.
Then get on top of the fountain while avoiding the head and hit the dragon once with your
weapon again.
When you get on top of the fountain, make sure you're looking straight ahead towards
the z axis.
Then look straight down and don't move your mouse, as that will decrease your velocity.
Next we'll line ourselves up according to how the drag is perched.
Where you line up will be explained in the next section of the video, but in this setup
we'll explain how you line up.
First, charge an arrow and crouch to slow your movement.
Then use 30 FOV or iZoom and use your movement keys to adjust.
Once you've lined yourself up, release the alignment arrow, then stop crouching.
Then hit the dragon with your weapon, and release a weak arrow immediately after.
The dragon should fly on the first hit, but if it doesn't, simply repeat hitting it and
shooting a weak arrow until it does.
Afterwards you can walk down your setup to take no fall damage, or-
What the fuck am I watching?
I'm sorry, what the fuck is that?
Oh my god, that's crazy a 745 753 way why is it 753 not a 745
What why did it just jump up? Oh my god
Re-time was Emmy
rules are stupid in rsg. Okay.
That's all I need to hear. Say
less.
In this game, I mean, like we
said, we cannot count him out at
all whatsoever, but monkey has
been looking really good. I
I mean, skycrabs here. What the hell?
And high skycrabs, congrats on quality right now.
I'm excited to see you compete.
Yeah. And I'm, I'm really curious.
Gonna have that kind of like simple, overworld, a simple never.
And is it going to come down to kind of like raw speed and decision
making, or is it going to be a little bit more kind of not so much wacky?
I don't have wacky.
Has big, big monkey been in this scene a while?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that we have these like more, you know, these less, these less.
Skycrab qual, yes.
Skycrab qual, the third place match last season.
Do you see a bow hit diamond?
I am not surprised at Bowhead Diamond as well.
And if we're going to have a bow a gamer extra craziness to what we've already seen today.
Yeah, absolutely.
No immediate spot of the ship for aquacord.
But money does spot it pretty quickly here.
All right lock in game three big big monkey looking for the 3-0 already a little faster than aquacord
So I mean getting it done has a chance to 303 oh here and I'll be pretty impressive
32 32 on the second wood break. Let's see. Let's see. Let's see. Let's see. Let's see. Let's see
Three second head start maybe three and a half
You can go in carrots, you can make shears, you know, plenty of things to do.
But I like awkward chords, crafting, craft god.
Who's the best crafter, Chad?
Just slightly ahead, purely just from finding the ship a little bit faster than aquacords.
Yeah, for sure it's gonna matter a lot.
I mean, Mungie's out first.
Is it Doogle?
It's still...
Lowkey?
Ruin portal.
Lowkey or Skycrown?
That is exciting.
That's what I'm wondering, yeah.
Ruin portal chest just for the lulves. It looks like they're both going for the ruin portal
One obby
And you can go to the end or the nether excuse me
Oh
Looks really good here, but monkey again monkey in 129
solid here. Aquacord in 134. Five second difference. Yeah, it looks like a bastion. I can't tell which
one. I'm not good enough. So just have to be a little bit careful that those leaves don't burn
when you start your route. But interestingly, Aquacord I think is trying to go around whereas
Monkey is digging. Yeah, Monkey digging right through this Aquacord with the different terrain
choice let's see if it pays off
Muggies in
What type of bastion is it?
Oh my gosh bridge, how do you know exactly where the damn chalice is?
Damn awkward some crazy time there
How the hell do you know where that fucking chalice was?
And this is maybe when he needs to get back in this game.
Yeah, I mean, look at this, a huge lead to check the chest slightly.
I guess the only difference is monkey nose, which side's a triple matter here or does
going for a higher gold block placement for aquacord on suit here, which is slightly different
to what we've seen that all the runners do who've been placing it lower more so.
Yeah, going for
Lot of a hole here on what we call I'd let me call calm. Good. I mean I pretty
Let me go maybe six double. Let me go do it
Monkey now doing the same exact thing even less pigs actually for monkey
so I
Have a hole
Maybe I mean we're gonna be here for a while
I have hold
Really matter here whatever as much as we might have thought of it
Yeah, there's like one late pig is trying to kind of lure this this other one up
But it's definitely gonna slow what we call best. Oh, it's actually horrible
Still trying to I grow to get more pigs, but definitely a lot every time I've ever let me hold it
You know against the job done, but boys that shit slow as fuck
I mean double single bridge is always hard to get those things
But yeah, look at this pearl hang from awkward that he can do because of not checking this chest already
So he's now going to go grab this. I don't know if money actually saw this because of how he played the Bastion
So this actually might be a crazy
So huge terrain play by aqua court, which is always funny. I think we talked about this last season as well
I feel like in these playoffs. Yeah, the winner is often times
Determined not by Bastion route because they're all pretty money at that not by Fortress because they're all pretty much
not by zero cycle. But usually
by like small terrain decisions.
That's like a 10 20 seconds
difference sometimes. Count is
not looking amazing but we're
checking trades now we still
need some more stuff. Just
barely unable to leave maybe
we're good. We're still waiting
for we have like eight what do
we have what do we have what do
we have twenty three obby we
Okay. Yeah, awkward went into the bastion six seconds behind, got into the fortress a few seconds ahead.
So like at least a 10, maybe 12 second difference there, maybe a little more to be honest, because he's also already at the spawner.
Mungy had to use a lot of pearls to try to find the spawner still hasn't found it. There it is. She was right. Looks like it.
Is that a different spawner or the same one? Maybe it's the same one.
I can't tell is monkey gonna go for these strays. Okay. It looks like he is is it worth it to strays
I guess it's better than waiting for the spawn try to find the third spawner now, okay, that's actually kind of huge
because it wasn't
Lay's bedded yet. So
Monkey is playing a completely different spawner like a hundred blocks away in the night and pre-crafting. That's kind of that's kind of fire
I mean this is much more open as well, which is all that's annoying though that blaze is frustrating
You're just gonna have to let it die kind of annoying
Yeah, nothing you can do you don't get the blaze route from that so hopefully didn't drop one
Not that I actually didn't matter. Yeah, they have the same road count. So that blaze probably wouldn't have dropped anyway
Yeah, and you know for monkey obviously try to maximize you know getting those two blades looks like next two are gonna drop
by spores didn't really build out the soul sand that you can get but it's only now kind of doing
his pre-crown w calc where's your obsidian where's your where's your where's your portal but i think
you know out portal l builds a lot of weak speed let's work on it aquaculture has to throw
to that two eyes as well so just a little bit of extra time okay two eyes thrown this is a different
area, right? 100% 1IW. Are they at different, yeah, they're at different spawners. How many
spawners are there in this fucking fortress? Oh, look at all the blazes. Did one burn?
We're still having a way for that one last rod gets the spawn cycle here gets it immediately should be a
I
Can't tell how many muggies that I like going for these two strays though
Spawner so monkey's gonna have a pretty much straight line here. It's monkey out. I've got that
Yeah, muggies out. No does not know he's out muggies at 12 those four strays were clutch
Yeah, this is very close
Throw throw damn pearl. What that was kind of a weird weight on that pro throw. Oh bad pearl though
Aquacord building from the lava monkey going for just a swim up
I don't know what's faster, okay, they're building same time
Okay, aquacord's gonna be in like three seconds faster
How's the nav? That's a good spike. That's a good spike. I like it back left. Let's do it. Let's do it
Monkey makes decision a little quicker. Maybe two second lean. No one needs a hunger reset
It's just gonna come down to what like spin cycles
This is so close this is like fucking two seconds of difference. Oh my god, but monkey throws the pros faster
These runners both have, oh Aquacord only has five explosives.
It's really gonna depend on how many of these runners
can do a two plus two here.
Who's got the two plus two unlock?
There's 95 Aquacord getting set up here.
Plenty of beds.
Not a two plus two for Aquacord.
I think it's GG on the two plus two.
So if Monkey kills the dragon on this rotation.
Oh, misses.
It could be it, but it's not gonna be enough.
As a dragon is gonna come through a 10.
Misses!
It's GG.
No, it's not gonna kill the dragon,
but it doesn't matter.
Monkey chokes.
But a clean zero is gonna be able
To take this third seed get back in the game here. Oh my god
shoot from monkey to try and
Aquacord gets the first up not three oh, I think it would have been enough honestly
It would have been really close. It was just like a late bed. I don't know second separating them entering the end there
I feel like there was just like it was just like a super super late bed like in a way that was like
Yeah, just I'm so unfortunate so apparent. I don't know what happened. Just a mechanical issue there
Awkward chord reverse we part two
We're going to a game for
Yeah, that was a close one that was a close one
I'm running here in Los Angeles to 64 person local with some of the best players in the world.
We also got some of the best commentators in the world. So that stream is going to switch directly
after this. So there's going to be no lag. I'm basically going to like teleport from here over
to there. And then there's going to be professional commentators. I'm going to hop on commentary
towards the end of the day. But don't be surprised if you see my stream live and you see arrivals
Geeker 2 tournament and I'm not on it. Don't be surprised.
Life steals having a finale, what do you think? I don't know what that means.
Yeah, candidly, I have no idea what that means.
How's the grubby tournament going?
Is there a bracket somewhere?
It was Dante's good at this game?
Thank you for the link brother.
So Hera beat Tyler, simply beat Hera, simply is waiting in upper bracket finals.
Dante is playing Mary, this is game three, the winner plays Yamato.
Tyler beat Maxim, he's going to play the loser of, I'm assuming he plays the loser
of this Dante's Mary match.
They're all bad.
Is Hera bad?
Shouldn't Hera be good?
Is that a crazy thing to say?
Is Hera bad?
How is Hera bad?
That's how it happened last time.
And sadly, he's new to the game.
Shouldn't he be good?
He plays a completely different RTS. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. And I'm not saying it's the same thing
All right, but like if I invited
I'm trying to think of a good example Brock or Mata to a CS2 tournament
They do pretty well
I feel like a pro Dota player at a league tournament would do pretty well
Is age of ages of empire that different? It must just be really different
I mean, I'm never gonna complain if there's a looting seed
Maybe like we can say that there's no seed filter except we always shove like a looting through room portal seed. All right, here we go
game for a bit of a delay by the way so there's going to be a natural two-second
head start for a big big monkey oh wow wait are we serious
He's going to have to go pretty much straight back through.
But AquaCorp is going to see that as well and be like, yeah,
it is stretcher.
I mean, Aqua is going to see that and be like, um.
Wait, what was that?
So that's pretty interesting.
He gambled for wood in the nether.
I see.
I love it.
I absolutely love it.
That's just such a time loss, though.
That's like 10 seconds.
Something like, yeah, I mean, I love it.
Oh my god.
And look at this play for Mungy.
I mean, I guess what's interesting is it does probably
change will kill them.
Awkelcourt's decision making is going to get the button on the way back.
Higgs and cows do not do that.
They will live on like one heart.
That's kind of a cool strategy.
I didn't know that.
I didn't know you could kill them by just letting them on fire, letting the fire do
the talk to be able to make it the water.
I mean, what a phenomenal play by monkey playing the seed so differently.
It seems like Awkelcourt isn't faced.
Awkelcourt is doing everything that he would do whether or not mungy went in right like still getting all the food getting all the wood
Like got a lot of wood to be honest
It almost might have made Awkelcourt even more cautious
Like hey, you know if he went in immediately both heading back into I'm gonna go in super prepared
How are they in at the same time? What does Awkelcourt have as an advantage?
He's gonna have a little bit more of an idea of what to do at least exactly. So am I crazy like so on the that was
Also, how is aquacord not farther ahead?
Probably the most annoying fashion to do when you don't have an iron pickaxe so that she played just saved eight seconds
Oh, no, the top monkey takes a lot of damage
I see if you can get any iron nothing in that just nothing in that chest
But does have the ability to put some armor on the pig. I'll iron chill
Well, he's gonna run into the same problem that awkward just did where he's gonna have to go to the side of the treasure and
Gets the iron a lot of obsidian as well. So probably not gonna have to go bottom for W. Lobby and something to watch out for as well
Rose, okay, so awkward is ahead though to be clear awkward is ahead by like four seconds right now
Because there's also a two-second delay that I forgot about
Instantly upon entering the nether here neither doing that so far
So interesting to see if that's going to be something or if we're just going to send a quadrants or what's going to happen here
Throwing the gold axe a bit of a mistake
Don't be a calm by rose it is true that aquacort's gonna have a better food situation and we we see a gload are
Glowdar on the right side of your screen is monkey gonna go for the gload or I don't see
So it's monkey currently doing it there's still time
I was trying to have a look just so you can see the fortress a
Crazy crossbow pickling shot
Shooting him into the hole
Anyway, but that was crazy
Yeah, Jen we did beat the monkey ball level it took us eight hours
Yeah, well, no actually to me. No, actually, yeah, it took us eight hours just for that one level
And we are not even halfway through the game
So
Monkey just rips a pearl hang
Is that just based off of knowledge of where he thinks it is because he didn't gloat are playing on tour d
Awkelcourt is Glodard. They're both going the right way, but I guess Mungy just gambled the direction.
It's not faster to gamble necessarily. I mean, it's just mechanically easier, right?
Because you can overlap your Glodard. Awkelcourt. Awkelcourt is ahead of sizeable amount.
He saved a lot of time on that bastion. I wonder why? Maybe the damage?
Wow their fortresses are fucked. Oh my fucking god dude. Holy shit.
Is he gonna go for the strays though? Look how many strays he has. This is a classic
soul sand fortress. So many strays though. He's playing the strays. And AquaCord's playing
Spawner caught a little bit out by just how many there were it looked a little bit nicer than it actually was yeah
He's playing the strays you drop the render
Yeah, he has like six more to go through
And the rates are actually pretty decent so he's gonna get to five the question is will he get to six
Yeah, he's at five right now can he get six from these last three
He doesn't get to overlap any of his crafts. He finally says fuck it. I'm going to the spawner. He can have like two or three there
He's losing so many time so much. I mean he gets his pre-craft while waiting for these skeletons to kill themselves
He only gets one off that
Still more how I don't know how many skeletons there have been I feel like I've seen like 30
He are just everywhere. This is an absurd amount of skeletons
Did he get the six again? He did okay, so they can both leave and I don't think there's a pearl break
I'm six rods. We know the eye doesn't break, but it could be a little bit annoying to pick up
Which aquacord does not aquacord is still in the lead by like what 10 seconds. Oh
Now it this I could break this I could break we don't know about the second eye
doesn't break
All right, aquacord already going to chords
Where's the pearl took a lot of time to throw that pearl and threw it poorly as well
Okay, I like this though boat movement W boat movement
All right, let's see if
Monkey has a better way of getting over just jumps into lava so faster decision
I think this is actually gonna be better nav really nicely
You're gonna be building the portal monkey almost
Precraft still though look at all this
Aquacord the gold picks are unnecessary. No game five here. Oh, this is pretty simple straight down mid
But this is tough. You are so hurt hell
We have to figure out where exactly the PR actually is
El Nabs straight forward as we once thought
I mean, this is awkward game to lose you just have to clutch up your zero you have way enough explosives. You have like eight beds so long. Oh, it's built in built in.
It's built in 58 gold pickaxe and aquacord doesn't but it is front cage. So not going to be too punishing. Good pearl.
So not gonna be too punishing. Good pearl here is gonna easily be able to get to 90. Yeah, this should be it
This should be it. It's a game five silver scrapes enter the end
But awkward, you know prime spot plenty of explosives no arrows, which could no
There's no way the arrows matter at this point. Curry. Let's be real
Ripple bed just I think that was just like three
The exhalations just happened on my screen.
That's like how I do a one cycle with no with with no arrows.
That was ridiculous.
Oh my gosh.
I mean what a way to give yourself a little bit of aura before going into another all right.
A game of five.
And now we get another best of five Brockford.
Oh my gosh.
I mean and as we said, you know, uh, if anyone can pull up the reverse sweep and a quick reminder to everybody watching at home.
Loser is eliminated. Winner moves on to top four.
4. Infumi. Why would a DJ show up to a Minecraft event? Boom, roasted.
And now he's rattled for his game.
What was the big announcement? It's a great fucking question. It's called the MCSR ranked world championships two-day live event in LA June 20th
21st it is a minecraft
Land that features the winners of the previous three playoffs. It will determine the best minecraft player in the world
It'll be happening live in LA. I will be co-streaming it. It should be fucking awesome
And also
We have availability to show up in person
We had 600 RSVP spots. They've all been taken
600 people have already RSVP'd they'll show up so let you know right now if you did an RSVP
we just opened up 400 more spots 400 more spots have just opened up y'all if you would like to RSVP
if you did not get the opportunity RSVP now just to be clear we are going to vet these
these RSVPs this week. If people are not going to show up, we're going to cancel their RSVP.
We're going to reopen those spots.
What a story. We're going to vet them. Of course we're going to vet them.
And they're able to get through this. I mean, we'll see what this temple of a world looks
like a monkey a bit ahead on the stream and no immediate.
Are you going to kosher in the qualifiers? Yes. I'm going to kosher in the qualifiers.
It's really high on the terrain, but it's going to take a little more time to get down now.
But again, there is maybe three or so seconds of StreamBallet, so both basically at the
same time.
Yeah, StreamBallet, again, big, big, Mungy is about one, maybe two seconds ahead.
So this is it.
This is a winner moves on, losers eliminated.
Mungy already qualified to the championship, but obviously we'd love to take down a playoffs.
Regardless, I don't think either of these players have ever won a playoffs.
Aqua cord in kind of a demon though making this comeback like down to oh
clutched the fuck up
Well, I like this though TNT in the gravel
So gets the flint
And only one flint importantly, so I feel like the gravel play kind of mattered like the flint rule is kind of high
Mungy also going for the TNT. Okay, so it's not too different
But I mean maybe also was able I didn't see a lot, but I feel like aquacord's moving faster right now
I don't know. I feel like aquacord is fucking turning
Because the one golden apple how these runners utilize that one golden apple good shout one gap
Oh, my things on me flesh is a lot though. So I feel like they should save the apple. Oh my god
Fish on the old my god aquacord is playing crazy
The fish grab with the bucket
What gets for one extra food is insane sweat behavior both runners that is so sweaty
Yeah, he's lucky to diamond pick seed it is a 11 second time loss
So he is going to enter a little after Mungi. The only real advantage he has is one fish
And it looks like he's willing to play with the Golden Horse armor just to distract the piglins
I think they're going different directions you this is different terrain choice
It's always a really nice thing to have actually is it the same I can't tell maybe it's the same
Sorry, I think yeah, it is the same my bad. So it was the leg
This is a bit different though bridging at a different point
It's gotta be like I know these runners are really good at sea bridging
But like you also have to be imagining your head like like I'd be nervous be bridging
The game
be a absolute red wreck.
Mungy, surviving half a heart.
I looked away and placed the block and then missed the half of the game.
Oh, my God.
So Mungy bridge on.
He places the block.
And then he goes over to place another block, but he ran out of blocks and he jumped off
without any blocks.
And then he had the reaction time to realize he had dynamite, placed that instead on it.
Half a heart left.
He just didn't have blocks on his bar.
Alright, we're going to go into the future here.
Can you have two x speed live streams?
You can, right?
We're going to go 1.5 x till we catch up.
It's a great clutch, but it's a huge mistake just to not have blocks on bar.
I mean, that's like literally what you tell a silver level player. It's like you want to hit gold have blocks on bar
But that's gonna be really punishing especially dependent on where it's funny
They both made pretty massive mistakes aquacord with the obby misplacement
like really really pushing this
No blocks on bar. They both popped golden apple, right?
Same thing as last time
like no TNT for awkward is really puzzling, but I mean,
Oh, no TNT, because you can TNT the, I see.
Yeah, you can TNT the gold, which is faster, but aquacord didn't go for that.
Obviously it's much better than Runeflesh for aquacord,
Glodarring, Monkey, not Glodarring again.
Where is aquacord going?
Building a bridge out. Oh, just to see where the chords are.
for Glodar at all. I think we're gonna quadrant it up if we're monkey. I don't think we're gonna
go into the bottom. I mean awkward has everything you could possibly need maybe wants a little bit
more explosives. I didn't. Okay, we're caught up. We're caught up exactly. See what his was that yet,
but has four beds worth of string and obviously we don't need to pre craft because we have
our pre kept a blaze but because we have the TNT if enough for while they're out of the same
time total and aquacord inventory. Yeah, monkey is just looking for it leaving but aquacord is
So much sure of this direction because of the aquacort glow dart. I don't know why you wouldn't load our
meaning to the right direction or at least was should see it on the
It's on the right for monkey. I'm almost sure and just probably pretty far left
So might not see it now. I just don't know why you wouldn't load our
Maybe he just never learned it in a commanding position because of but this is it. I mean, this is the game
You lost the game. Absolutely. You know, that's something like this is so this is 30 seconds late to the fortress
You know even ignoring gloda deciding if you're gonna go down to bottom treasure to break the spawner or if you're gonna send quadrants
But in this case now, it's obviously that difference between the gloda and not I mean, that's it big big monkeys out
I'm barring an insane mistake
This is over like just from and if you're monkey like you have no one to blame but yourself. Oh, I think he knows it's over
I think he just knows it's over. I think
I think he knows it's over.
That's why he aggroed the zombie piglet.
Maybe there was like some hidden, you know.
I mean, you know, at this level of skill,
like you don't have the opportunity to spend 45 seconds
finding the fortress.
He's dumb.
I did see one zombie piglet on the fort,
but I don't think the aggro is going to carry this far
even with the pearl after.
So should be fine in the fortress now.
But I mean, Rose, he's awkward ahead by at least 30 seconds
has the golden apple and has a gold pick and is precrafted. Yeah, this is
Amazing for monkey believers right now. It's over because also like aquacord knows right?
Like that's the thing about ranked you know where your opponent is aquacord knows that money dimension of fortress until like
You know
It's awkward basically out of the fortress. It's not it. Oh my gosh crazy spawn
If you are monkey here and I could cause much more health seven rods has the golden apple you can go bro
Awkward
Naving to the stronghold and it's not over yet
It's gonna depend on making sure that the stronghold nav is still locked in. Oh my gosh
You're gonna miss awkward awkward got a little nervous there a little a little aggressively pops the gap
I'm not punished for it
and should be okay very far by the way these chords it's really gonna come down
to this nav very far which means mungy's gonna have to pearl so slowly so I
guess maybe play for no hunger reset later on or just try I mean he kind of
needs the chicken no because if he has a zombie flesh he can't pearl to corns
for that food what's the nav looks like it's 2000 blocks away it's a spike but
it's not super comfortable so something he loves zombie flushes recovers hell so
slow. So it's going to try and go a slightly different direction. Does he see it bridging
somewhere? Yeah, he sees it. He does see it. And just doesn't want to pro so he doesn't
have to hunger reset, which makes sense. And it's going to be entering the end here with
a commanding lead. It is cage go pick 0 57. That's dragon. This is not an easy zero and
he does not have that much regen. It's actually back one and eight. But this could be it.
the game. I think we're going
to get to the game. Oh my god
one now. One. She should be
able to get to ninety one but
is going to stay at eighty
eight. This is the line for
monkey the dragon could fly at
eighty eight here. And that
would be the line to get monkey
back in the game. Through is I
think just. Zero off the
dragon stays one and a half
hearts that we have to eat
during it to make sure all
court for the way. Damage we
only have one more better
We have a bad sweep two matches. He's not he's not he's not he's not he's not he's not he's waiting to heal
I mean there's the boat of our sweeps. Yeah, I'm there you go
incredible also reverse sweep awkward beats monkey holy shit
Two seeds and to bring it back in you know such such a way
Oh, holy shit, man, that's crazy
Just showing
Look at that a one-minute time loss because he didn't learn glowdar
Awkelcourt if he wins this playoffs, it's probably like one of the coolest playoffs wins ever
Reverse sweet doogle reverse sweet monkey
Then would have to go through either infumi or silver then would have to beat someone on the other side of the bracket
I'd be a crazy run
That would be a crazy run a
a reverse sweep is so sick that is so tense
mungy knows gload are but his cpu is terrible so it's really annoying to do
well luckily for mungy he's already qualified for the mcsr world championships which is
happening June 20 and 21st and we're providing computers with Alienware CPUs in 4090s so he
should be good.
Alienware makes CPUs?
No but I can't fucking promote the CPU maker.
I got to support alien where you know what I'm saying?
Hey Ludwig, I'm a big fan, I've been watching you for 9 years, are you winning?
You've followed me 1 minute ago.
not even making up the numbers genuinely a minute ago.
Congratulations, you have reverse swept your way to the semi
finals. What is going through your mind? Thank you. I just
can't believe I got used to the same exact thing last week.
Expect to reverse week like that just like guys, I'm gonna go
preheat my oven because I have cookies I made for cutie that I had to put in the oven.
I knew like obviously like I had way more confidence this time since I just reversed
stuff last week. I still was thinking like I shouldn't be able to reverse sweep really.
I shouldn't be able to do this. Yeah, I did it.
Yeah, I mean it's absolutely crazy, especially I mean if you reverse sweep do go out and then
you reverse sweep Mungy just do actually crazy, crazy players. And to win it on that
last seed you did such a great bloat are and I thought instead of me or Rose
trying to scramble our way through it if you would be so inclined as someone who
probably understands it way better than nearly everyone in the entire community
can you explain bloat are and what you did on that last seed to the audience
yeah so bloat are works by like you are reloading the spawner like multiple
times you're like keep reloading every time you reload it's it like gets bigger
the pie chart. I don't like the full details, but like it like gets bigger on the pie chart.
So you're able to like locate the fortress spawner without breaking the treasure spawner.
So I just like kept spamming like going up and down my bunker, and then I just got a spike
towards the forts. And I guess that led me to seed. Yeah, I mean, it was really impressive. You
did such an amazing job with that. Rose, what do you got for aquiford here? I just wanted to ask you
on the previous seed, on seed 4, you obviously, when you parl to the fortress, if you remember
or if you just kind of like ignore the previous seed, but you had, when you came into the
fortress, you had so many mobs, because obviously you have Soul Sound Valley, you had a lot more
withers and you chose to just play the spawner, whereas Monty actually chose to play the
strays, because we have a lot more blazes spawn, and just one brain kind of like, yeah,
It proved to be the right decision, so I'm just wondering your thought process of, do you try to play the strays, or why did you choose to go for the spawner, was it just a case of there were so many winners on your screen, you were just like, let's just play the spawner, or it's a kind of punitive?
Yeah, I mean, there's so many winners going on. I did not want to deal with that, that's so scary, especially with the mirrors. I don't know what the feud is, I don't think we have a ton of feud going on.
Like usually that's just gonna be slower for you like kind of going to deal with so many other stuff things like
There's also not a lot of people that could be out in class and they could be in a church tree
So I just thought that that's gonna be a better thing
And it turns out to be the right choice
No, absolutely. Sorry. I'm horrible at my job. Um, of course one thing I wanted to ask you
Um, is how do you prepare for these matches? I mean, we have we see all these runners
I mean you have that first week in a playoffs where it's kind of like okay
Like I have a match on one day, and then I'm kind of done
But this week if you win obviously what you just did you then now have to prepare for two more games no matter what?
Tomorrow, what's kind of the difference in preparing between week to week?
And what did you do in this past week to prepare for not just this match, but this weekend as always?
um, I mostly just keep it right like
I didn't play the last two days because one thing I think that helped me a lot is having
and Compton's going in from like having a really good last session before the tournament.
To my last session, I kind of was freed and I decided I'm not losing today and that came true.
I just won 8-0 that day.
I'm about to like, you know, I'm out.
So I was super calm there from like, how I was playing that day.
So I was like, okay, I don't want to queue these last few days.
I'm just gonna do private rooms, do practice, just relax.
and mumbling into today with like clappin' sound like, I play that, like I'm like coming through right now, you know.
Yeah, no, that makes a lot of sense. Uh, Rose, you got anything else?
Um, I just want to bring you back all the way to the first seed. Um, what, what is going through your mind when you spawn into a desert village and there are no, no cheats at all?
That's a great question.
Yeah, I, that's not what I like to see. It's not, especially at the mind, because I feel like mind is something better to see like that, like,
I don't know how to play with this, but yeah, I was laughing at it like it's funny, but also I knew like this is not my show on the seats, so I should play with these guys first, but these guys on the seats are strong.
That makes sense.
Also interesting, you were a little bit more hesitant with bed clutching as well, whereas
Mungy went in and he just straight jumped onto the bed, so yeah, interesting that the
kind of extra variance in the scenes that we see.
Makes sense, last thing I'll get you out of here on, you're going to play the winner of
the next match, which is infume vs silver, any thoughts on that match, anyone you'd rather
play and any of the one I guess the answer is different who are you like most scared of Romanian playoffs?
I don't know if I'd rather play. One thing about both those players is I've beaten
both my turn before. I beat Silver in season eight playoffs I think and then I just beat
them from the land so I've come up with something either way.
And then Grom's scared of left in the bracket. Probably it's EGCR. It seems like
He's finally figured out what he's planning to do today, so that he's got it with a curse.
So he's definitely going to watch out for it.
Take sense.
Apocorn, wishing you the best of luck in semifinals and beyond tomorrow.
Get some rest.
Amazing match, and we'll talk to you soon.
Thank you.
See you.
Bye.
I mean, Rose, we got to commentate some crazy games today.
That was absolutely insane.
Um, I don't know if the big boss has the bracket ready, but I would love to take a look at the bracket if it's possible
The bra the big boss has said to give him one second Rose. What's your favorite moment? Well, I was literally one second
Rose, what's been your favorite moment so far today?
It's gotta be the last seed actually in the reverse sweep
That's crazy
I could go on you've got to be if you're impugn silver now and you're looking ahead
You might not be looking too far ahead
you might be more fixed in your current game, but you know, the winner of that game is going to be
thinking, you know, alcohol is pulling it off. You know, if you're not able to kind of get it done
in the first three seats, then he can and will bring it back. But yeah, I mean, more exciting
games to come as well. You know, for Parker and Nutty, they've got infume silver and find like
NHB. So it's been, I'm just like, I feel like I need to go have a lie down after this game.
I'm so excited, it was great.
Yeah, like two games,
like I'm feeling pretty good after commentating.
Once it gets to three, I'm like, oh man, like that was a lot.
Like that was some crazy games that we watched today.
Infume and Silver will be the next match up.
And then Tonka won it,
because I mean, Firework, NHB,
Firework's gonna play two games.
Word on the street is that he's currently power napping.
So we'll see how that goes.
Hopefully he like wakes up.
That would be like a good step one for that match.
But so before we get out of here, Rose,
I mean, any predictions for these two matchups?
These are going to be two amazing games.
Yeah, I, do you know what?
I kind of, I know I've said in my interview
that I'm predicting an infume, like playoffs win.
I kind of really want to see silver though.
I kind of want to see silver win.
I feel like it would be a really good storyline
if we have like the season one playoffs winner
in the season 10 finals.
I feel like that would be pretty good.
like story wise. But no, I'm just I'm just excited for some more excellent games. And then maybe it's
Parker and Nutty's turn to have the three O's, but hopefully not. Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna take
I'm gonna I'm gonna take infume three one, I think over silver. And I think I'm gonna take
NHB looks so good in the row game. I think I'm gonna take NHB. I'm gonna you know what, I'm
I'm getting crazy. I predicted fine over low key and I'm going to take NHB three over fine break. That's my prediction. I'm sorry. I think you're wonderful. You're a really good friend, but I have to be non bias in the booth as well.
So I'm going to take NHB three, which also would make EDCR happy and I'd like to make it so that's that's I guess the angle that I'm coming from.
Okay, I think that's I think that's fair. I I honestly have no idea for fun like NHB
I think I can't want by back to win
Again, just storyline wise. I mean he's he's toppled Loki today, but you know as you said like NHB is
Playing really well at the moment. So it's it's I think like both these games are just really hard to cool
Yeah, I mean I also want infume to win over silver because if silver's out that means we're guaranteed a new champion
but also like silver one in like 1933. So it also be fine in my head of silver wins. So like,
you know, whatever happens, we're getting some pretty new stuff here. So I'm excited.
I mean, what a match is we got to commentate Rose. It's a pleasure. We'll get to commentate
more tomorrow. But for now, we're going to send it to an intermission. It's going to be Parker
for a nerdy when we get back and when we get back it will be infume versus silver so not go
yep
All right.
Sounds a banger, by the way.
Are you going to miss the Feinberg match?
Ideally not, but this tournament is running later than it was supposed to.
We've done three matches in four and a half hours.
It's 40 minutes behind.
Yeah.
I'm noticing that.
I'm noticing it's a bit behind.
So I don't know.
Oh loud
Classic bracket issues it is classic bracket issues. I just scheduled my day in a way that isn't
Super designed to deal with bracket issues though
We have two more matches. Let's just hope that they're three else
Because if they're game fives, I'm a bit bugged
Okay, leave the stream up.
Well, the issue isn't that I'm leaving to go do something off
stream.
We are running arrivals of B3R2 local in LA today.
And that's running starting around like one o'clock.
And I'm streaming that.
Would you rather have $15 or three rocks?
probably probably 15 bucks
I don't think there's an amount of rocks I would like, candidly.
There's not much happening today, dude.
Firebellion plays in Rainbow Six Siege semis against, let's see, TM, who's the mind, is that it?
Then we play League against DSG to make playoffs. We got Minecraft playoffs.
And then we have the rivals local.
God damn!
is stopping playing stop is not a pro so no it's stopping a pro hold up did I
just speak out my ass I thought stop it was a controller player who wasn't a
pro. I bet. Hand up. I apologize. He switched the mouse and keyboard and went pro. Oh shit.
Never mind them. That's crazy. That's crazy, by the way. I might have just been thinking
of mango it's possible. He lost his shot fire belly yesterday no surprise.
Alright, let's go crazy real quick.
What the fuck am I silver three?
Is Silver through the high end?
Holy shit, we're already in?
Okay.
Like, oh, it's no moving.
Duh.
She...
What the hell did that say?
It looks like Malaysia or something, right?
Maybe India.
I think it's just straight India.
I'm gonna go India, no questions asked.
I don't know where.
Alright, that was closer, I'll take it.
South of New Delhi, Guaioor.
Guaioor.
Okay, European is f-
PrimaBank!
Razna!
Uh, okay, I think it's like Central Europe?
Electromobile. I don't know, like...
I'd buy Poland... No, it can't be Poland.
Maybe Romani, maybe Czechia?
I don't think it's Portugal.
I just took so many out of the I panics.
It was Slovakia.
Oh!
Did it get one of the slows wrong?
Boy, does it hurt.
I knew I didn't know the language, so I didn't want to go to like a Romania.
Okay, we have the brackets.
That's interesting.
We also have a car following us.
I don't know how legitimate that follow is.
Maybe this is the snorkel from Kenya, but I don't understand the rest of it.
It looks like a wildlife.
Rhinos?
I'm assuming that's Africa, right?
I don't know what this could be.
I don't know why there's brackets here.
That is the Kenyan snorkel.
I'm just gonna go Kenya, I guess.
I don't know if it's actually Kenya.
Oh, it is Kenya.
Okay.
You see the Kenya snorkel?
You send it, no panic.
Okay, European as fuck again.
Looks like French.
Yeah, it is for sure.
Uh, the D-101.
The D-101 or the D-503, let's see if we can find it.
It's a local road.
No, there's like no time to fucking do anything.
I don't know.
I don't know, I have to guess randomly.
I have no idea where it is.
Oh, I'm so close. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Hell yeah.
I'm glad I went north. I just looked at the road numbers and they were just way different, so I just passed normally.
Uh, Oceanside.
Persearenth. I don't know what the fuck that is. That's Chinese characters.
But there's a lot of English, so maybe it's Hong Kong, maybe it's Singapore, maybe it's Malaysia.
I think it's Malaysia.
I think it's Malaysia, right?
Maybe Malaysia outside Singapore?
I don't know.
I'm just gonna go Malaysia outside Singapore.
It looks like Malaysia.
Because I know they have...
Oh, wow.
What the...
I don't even know where this is.
Samporna?
Is that Malaysian territory?
What country is that?
What is that area?
Is that Indonesia?
Is that Malaysia?
That's Malaysia. It makes sense. It was Malaysia. I mean Malaysia has like a lot of Chinese speakers
But man Malaysia's territory is not something I'm familiar with
That island probably has crazy history. No
That island that's like part Indonesia part Malaysia with all the lines
This year right here where it's like Malaysia's here Malaysia's here Malaysia's here. This is Brunei. What's Brunei? Is Brunei its own land?
Then this is Indonesia.
So you could just go across like three countries, but dude, Brunei is crazy.
How did they not get taken over?
They did amazing work.
Brunei, country in Southeast Asia on the northern coast of the island of Borneo.
Borneo is the island name.
Oh my God, I would have never guessed 23 million people live there.
That is so many.
The third largest island in the world, population of 23 million.
right along the equator. East of Sumatra. Wow. That's just crazy. Someone said play
officer back. Is that true? Are we being serious? No, bro.
All right, back to learning about Brunei.
It actually is back that you can clearly hear me Parker I want to ask how are you feeling
This match are you looking for what are you looking forward to in between infume?
Parker between them specifically
I want to see some close matches. I think they're both playing really well. I'm excited for infume
I think if I had to predict I think infume is gonna take this one. I think he's probably the favorite here
I think he's really looking for his first playoff wins and he's got the skills to do up the silver
I mean, he's been no slouch. I think he's been really improving recently
So I think it's just going to be a cool little storyline between like, you know, the newer-ish kind of person with infume and then Silver obviously the first person to ever win ranked playoffs.
So that's sort of what I'm looking forward to.
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I think that's that's a good point. I mean, we're going to have infume who's really developed his name in the past few months, years into the Minecraft speedering community, of course, has gotten ranked one tons of times.
Absolute phenomenal player and just hasn't gotten that playoffs win that he's been searching for as you mentioned
We do have a
Little bit something different for silver right got the first ever playoffs win
So it's sort of I feel like it's sort of a new gen versus old kind of deal
We got going on here and I'm very excited to see how this one pans out because to be honest with you Parker
I feel like either way
I think the commentators were talking about this just last seed before we went into intermission
But I feel like either way, it's exciting.
We either have silver return back, right?
Return back to that sort of top four spot,
which would be so cool to see.
Or we see infium, who a lot of people are rooting for,
who has really been on the up, make his way back.
I mean, we've obviously seen infium make it
to the semifinals to the finals,
but we've not seen infium get that win.
So will this be his first ever season?
He's gonna be trying to prevent silver
from getting back to the podium.
And I don't know, I think in either case,
it's going to be a great match.
I think that's a great analysis.
Either way, the longer and the more that we do this,
the more that I see these players play,
it becomes harder and harder to pick somebody
that I want to win,
because I just want to see everybody do it.
But it looks like we've got our player stats out here,
Nerdy, very interesting ranked average time infume
a little bit faster, but wins versus opponent 19 to 16.
Maybe that's the thing that stands out to me the most.
That's pretty darn even, Nardi.
That's honestly a great point.
I mean, to me, yeah, 31 second difference
in their average rank time is pretty significant.
I mean, when you're already this low,
when you're already a sub 10 average,
being a 31 seconds faster, I think is quite significant.
But yeah, like you mentioned,
three wins extra only for infium versus silver here,
pretty even overall.
And so I definitely think that infium might be the favorite,
But, you know, we said things like that for hacks
are back-to-back winner.
And this time, infume may be the favorite.
Will Silver be able to close out infume storyline?
We will have to find out.
I'm very excited, though.
I know Silver's been doing a ton of practice
for this weekend with Duke,
has been really grinding, has been putting in the work.
So absolutely not someone to underestimate.
True, 100%.
I love watching both these players stream quite a bit.
you know, practicing, getting ready for today.
And you know, it really comes down
to just this handful of seeds.
And so if one starts off really strong,
one makes a tiny mistake, leads to a death.
That could be their entire run up here.
But if it's been anything like we've seen today in Erty,
we're gonna get some good matches.
We've, this has been a great warmup.
Watching all the matches so far, they've been so good.
So many interesting decisions,
like with the EDCR beef salad sending the one eye,
we saw such a close match with Loki and Feinberg.
It's just, it's just absolutely the same.
And then of course, the reverse to the optical cord.
It's just been, it's been a good day.
And already this might be one of my favorite playoffs ever.
Maybe like my favorite one to watch since season six or seven.
I forget which one was my.
Okay. Nice. Nice.
You gotta, you gotta throw in the six, seven joke.
I didn't even try to.
The one where it was due versus low key in the finals.
It was such a good season.
I just, I'm not sure if it was six or seven.
No, that's, that's okay.
It's okay. It just comes natural.
You just a natural clip from a burger.
No, but I, I think this is.
This has been, this has been, we've said some crazy storylines.
I mean, I, we see Duke hacks and low key out in round one is crazy.
I feel like that no one, I see no one predict that.
Um, it's been, there's just been, we've had awkward, back to back reverse sweeps.
Hello, I fully agree with you.
Everything, like nothing is going to plan everything is, is, is as crazy as it
could be as unpredictable as possible.
So I'm trying to think what's the most unpredictable outcome here.
If I, if I'm trying to make my prediction, I need to make what I think is
least likely to happen. So I'm going to say it's going to be, um, a reverse sweep for
infusion. That's my prediction. I think if you think that's likely, okay, okay.
I mean, I'm just trying to think of, yeah, yeah, that's my theory.
Say like three, oh, silver winning. Okay.
I think that's probably my best. I'm pretty cool. I don't know if I should change up for
my original prediction. I think I predicted infume winning three, one. I think that was
my actual prediction. I could maybe go for a silver three out. That would be crazy in
my opinion.
Yeah. I guess I just think that reverse sweeps are less likely in general. You know what
I mean?
That's a fair point.
And I guess, and then I'm thinking, you know, I feel like Silver is very, his mindset is
very good. I feel like if anyone's going to reverse sweep, maybe it would be Silver.
And that's where I get the idea of in-fume reverse sweep being surprising. But at the
same thing. I know he has been improving his mental a lot. And he obviously has had some
great success in playoffs at this point has a lot of experience. So it's not like he's
new to playoffs anymore. Right. So I definitely think that, you know, we could, we could still
see an infume reverse sweep, um, or, or, or something like that. But I think it's going
to be great no matter what. I mean, maybe there's just something we're not even thinking about
that much. Maybe they tie. Maybe they down to the, the, is that even possible? I just don't
even I honestly don't even know. I honestly don't even know.
I'm just like, you must put some delay, pausing and like, because it's like to tip based system,
right? So surely that he can. There must be some delay going on that they're stalling for us.
This is a stall set for sure. No, you're going to miss two series. Well, I'm trying to stay as
as long as possible. I mean, eventually I'm going to call it. If it's just running that
late, that's just not like in control.
I need to check on the cookies. Where do you think I just was?
What is this starting? I don't know, brother. Our last match was 30 minutes ago. It's been
31 minutes into our last match.
Someone is presumably having some tech issues or something.
All right, Infumi is the last pick.
Desert Temple is where we're going.
Okay, now we're good.
Let me see my cables.
I think it really paid.
I'm gonna fall asleep in the private room.
Infumi is not the problem.
Is Silver the problem?
Who do we get mad at, chat?
Nerdy has webcam mic.
Classic.
classic
But he looks so damn good
I just checked the cookies in eight minutes y'all I need this fucking game to start and I needed to be a fast seed, bro
of the
That should inspire
Shout out
Dude, I
Genuinely were in it. Oh my god. We're in it. We're in it. We're in it
I think about making two predictions is that now you're right in either case. You just oh, no, I was just
Maybe a slight second head start for me based off of the delay, but nothing too crazy
It's a desert temple for a reminder silver had a crazy run to get here beating
Hacks who was the the winner of the last two playoffs so an impressive win but
you know job's not done for the season one champion infumi on the other hand
Somebody who has not yet achieved the W become very close
Oftentimes is the favorite coming into these events
Let's see it baby
They are synced as hell right now worth the gravel that's always the question
Okay, I like that block the water off for the gravel in this water
I don't see silver going for gravel looks like silver is going for more wood
Which is gonna make his life a lot harder if he doesn't find this gravel it is kind of a random ass pocket
It looks like he's going for a wood like maybe not enough wood by double exploding to maybe go for this
But oh well, you know what already caught
Depending on luck here silver might be in first. He might be in behind infume infume
I don't know where infumi's going. Does he not see the lava pool?
I mean things are lighting quickly for silver. Oh, there it is look at that
The woodlight plays
with that because of that woodlight right got lit on fire a few times and now down to just three hearts.
So the damage does seem like a bigger problem for silver early than the the time to take the woodlight because he isn't another first, of course.
Is can be, of course, a bashing route where you have to run by.
They both have gapples though.
So it should be fine like you can't emergency gapple.
Scary situation where you can take some damage.
But it's a boring treasure snooze fest treasure.
For this gold buck, we see actually infume seemingly caught up a lot of time there on silver.
Yeah, I think yeah and fumes got w'df cleaner even get my god the punch
He placed a couple less blocks stayed a little bit lower, but just got my god. He's going crazy
In fumes real strength strength something you talked about in his and this guy's insane
Movement in general kind of lights out super
Silver like he's behind now nerdy. I hit your line, baby
I was gonna say I feel like I blinked in infumes ahead. I don't even I it's very very I feel like infumes gonna do everything
Standard faster lost some time and yeah, exactly is losing some pigs
This pig is now herma agro on him. I believe because you have to punch the pig
So again, just like some small time losses that seem to be adding up whereas infume just having a much cleaner run so far
Also on more HP. So I mean that is like a small advantage
We do see infium gets the TNT. He doesn't crazy micro game. I agree with you
He doesn't a crazy micro
As silver also going to be going for the TNT little TNT strat. I love it
Oh took a lot of damage a little bit with his blocking off took a lot of damage on that
One interesting thing though is I don't think either players really been scanning in F5
Or with why no gloat ours. So maybe they've already seen one. I haven't seen one yet. No gloat ours yet
So I'm very curious. Monkey lost off of not gloat are in fortress
Yeah, it's gonna be interesting to take a look around here. I don't know
Was that it on silver screen? Was that it off to the off to the sort of directly where he's looking?
now off to his left that would make sense this point I thought I saw it but maybe maybe I did
it's all it can be tough to see sometimes with another fog but I mean it would you know if you
going the opposite direction that we were talking about and there is a floor so perhaps he did see
that and now it looks like he's just got he's got a very sizable yeah and look at that I mean he
went into the nether later but he just did the bashing faster it's funny because most times
You watch top players play the bastion isn't like a huge time save like I feel like they're all pretty
Much doing the same routes. They all have the same tech. They all the same information
Infumi just does like little things faster and saves like a tenth of a second like fucking 30 times across the bastion route
And now it's just a few seconds ahead. I mean it's nothing crazy, but
Yeah, the woodlight did slow him down because he had to stop to chuck flesh that's also true
It still has the gap. So I mean if you're just doing a great job managing the the health situation here
Dude like even that movement and not to glaze and fooming but even that movement to get up
With the extra gap is nice
Just a bit of a gamer yeah lots of weather skeletons and it is a double spawner
So there's the debate do you even blaze TNT?
You do you invest the time doing that with two spawners and if the rates are even
Cookie check. I got a timer. It's already on four rods killing two more places on five rods. I got a minute thirty-eight
I'm gonna check after this run. Don't think he's precrafted the cookies will probably be in for 12 minutes
That's not too bad for cookies playing the Bastion just a little bit worse in team now measuring his eyes
Let's see what the measurements are gonna be
And there we have it
We have the oh
Why he is in cinematic mode
A thousand blocks stronghold that's a little over a hundred blocks in the nether
So gonna be a handful of pearls here and he's already out pops another fire
I just need this run to end by minute sevens and based off the way infumi is crushing right now
I think we're about to see a seven something get a little bit awkward. I almost kind of like going below
What was that build but it's just it's just so this is an interesting strap by infamy
I don't know what he's doing blocks to mine
We'll see if silver handles at any differently, but I do think I like this better
Okay going under is kind of fun though all the way through the basalt. Oh my gosh
Exactly, it's very scary stuff. So, you know, hopefully give a damn fuck
I'm worried about like a gravel falling or something, but yeah silver can't be nearly as aggressive here
Yeah, I mean, I guess we could see something weird
as infu now is missed in the strongholds did we miss entirely no
He's moving like he didn't miss. He's moving like he's just a couple blocks off and he is just a couple blocks off
He shouldn't have to hungry said because the gavel
Seems like a decent he has a secret back right is he gonna go for it?
He goes for the secret back right the end of this tunnel
It's kind of a far hallway if it doesn't turn left here soon. It might be a little bit awkward, but no despite
He's going far, but this is getting crowded nerdy. He's going far for this bike
Silver also misses just a little bit he's pre-crafting
Oh, we find it that was far he does go for a hunger reset
Maybe not gonna matter though cuz infumes in the courtroom
I don't think silver can get there because the issue isn't the nav the issue I guess the issue isn't finding the stronghold
It's getting to it cuz just far away
Oh, he fucked up his inventory
I feel like his inventory is fucked right now
It was infume now checking out the zero. Let's see. He's spending some time cleaning it here
I guess he has time during the pearl hang. He feels good about it pretty easy set up here for infume cookies cookies are chill as long as infumi gets this done
Going up to 95 looking great so far. I'll check the cookies after needs to get the beds off at this point
Very clean stuff from infume so far this seed looking to get a low eight and
Yeah, and a three plus two to seal it
it. Beautiful. All right. And for we take game one, apparently,
oh, yes, I'm not sure if those are different than regular
nerves. It sounds a little bit better. The nerves being
holy. I'm not sure that's exactly what you're saying, but it
is interesting to see regardless of the nerves nerdy. He takes
the first seat. Thanks to first seat and telling silver to lock
in. Oh, it's a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. He said he said lock in
shut. So trying to try to you know, you know, yeah, he's
been he's been a little bit feisty today in a few that is
that's you be careful, you know, if it's because they're
friends, you know, but but you're right. We don't really see
that very often. You know, dropping shut against silver.
I mean, so pretty good at the game. But I mean, the 30 second
lead, the numbers kind of speak for themselves in team clearly playing that seed better.
Yeah, no great stuff from infium. I mean, I think we did see just a little bit slower
of that Nether enter, but then just look at that Parker, just slowly saving time on
silver throughout the rest of the seed. Um, I mean, it is interesting that silver, we
see the found stronghold split there is a little interesting. Silver ended up, he
precrafted before entering the stronghold. So I think that's why you see that 37
seconds. That doesn't make sense. But I'm just looking at the splits here and he's
still between you know fine entering the fortress and entering the end still save 10 seconds so
an overall 30 seconds faster entering the end great start from infume to start we're gonna say
exactly what we were we're talking about with infume or excuse me with hdmi cables last week
just handling that relatively low food seed very very well handling the temple in general well
and despite entering the nether a little bit later i think was able to just sort of transfer the
It will save time on like random little things like the terrain nav and just handling the food situation a bit better
Yeah, and that all adds up, you know dealing with the wither skeletons here and there silver
Maybe you losing a handful of seconds and at this high level gameplay. It's just sometimes
It's that chip damage that curry was talking about earlier
You know just these little things that just kind of add up over time and infume clearly doing well
Well, see if you can do it again.
I don't think any seed is going to favor his play style
as much as Desert Temples,
but maybe if it's like a shipwreck,
we could see a similar situation
with some low awkward food type situations,
but it's going to be Silver's pick for a seed here.
So what do you think it's going to be, Ernie?
Let's see, I mean, I don't think you want to go Desert Temple.
I feel like I'm going to expect something.
I'm going to go, I'm going to go,
I'm going to say Berry Treasure.
He's obviously played a lot of Arashina's time and hey, there we go.
Hey!
I'm on point.
Okay, so far so good.
This is a good start.
But yeah, it's just a little bit more linear, a few less decisions.
You get some guaranteed food, which of course is something that infume is good at.
He's good at playing on those low food seeds.
And so I think it just makes sense for Silver to pick the BT here and just kind of play something that maybe is a little bit more, but even playing ground for the two of them.
for the two of them. But in either case, it's going to be an exciting match. We'll have
to see if silver can come back here or if infume will take the 2-0 lead in this series.
What are you going to stick with silver? Okay, at this point, are you going to show
me?
I'm just so bad at it. Overall predictions, I've been pretty good at predicting the seeds
runners are going to take, but I've been five and five for predictions today. I have a 50%
five.
I'm just bad, you know, but so my original prediction was infume. My second prediction
the silver. So I feel like I'm cheating already. I just feel like I'm so out of the loop. I don't
really know what's going to happen. I like the seed pick from silver though, in general BT. I was
debating between BT and Rune Portal, but I mean, infume having had world record on Rune Portal before,
a little bit scary. So I like this situation for silver going into a BT. And checking out
the pie chart here, looking for that BT. As we mentioned, both of them finding it pretty much
I can push up the same time,
so we're a little bit behind here potentially,
but that could be even like a stream of lightning.
It can be very tough to spot sometimes.
And there is an ocean monument.
So, you know, often you can get a ravine
underneath an ocean monument.
So that's something you can be aware of.
I mean, it's gonna be so far out of the way.
And I do see kelp to the right,
but on buried treasure seeds,
shipwrecked seeds, that is something to keep in mind.
I like overlapping the gravel breaking
while you're waiting for the TNT to detonate.
Silver gets one of those off, but infume, just a little bit faster in the
mechanistic area is probably going to be leaving the island a little bit sooner.
Is infume going for more trees?
Um, it looks like he is.
He's going for another tree.
There's maybe one log left on his original tree.
So we'll see if silver does the same thing.
Silver building up to get this last log, but it's only one.
And so if he's going all the way to these trees, he's losing a little bit of
time there on the micro having to go to the two different trees.
And this whole time, infume seemingly out of nowhere,
just building up this huge leaf
from all these small little things,
a little bit faster crafting,
going to the tree a little bit more immediately,
finding the buried treasure just a half second faster,
and he's gonna be in the nether,
maybe 10 seconds ahead.
Maybe I'm gonna get you by one off,
and yeah, exactly, is in the nether at 130.
So I mean, a great overworld there from infume
playing that buried treasure flawlessly.
Now we see going to be heading through this terrain.
We'll see if he can save even more time on silver,
on this terrain now to the bashing.
Something we saw last seed is terrain now
ended up saving a couple of seconds there.
I think three seconds or something like that
against silver on a pretty short terrain now.
So this is a little bit longer,
maybe we'll have to see if silver can keep up
with infume here who's now at this point into the bashing.
We got a stables here in front of us.
And you see infume just finding this chest.
He's not only going to need to catch up or maintain pace,
but he's going to need to make up 20 seconds,
I think, just on the Nether entry.
And it looks like we're in the stables.
I think this is maybe a triple.
Yeah, so this is a triple for infume.
This is the middle rampart, I believe.
So we'll see, do we have any obsidian?
No obsidian yet, still nothing.
So we're going to be playing probably a triple to gap here,
checking some lower chests.
Hopefully that's where we're going to be getting our obsidian.
And silver, on the same original rampart,
the infume went to, but I think maybe checked a lower chest as well.
Yes, you did make a little bit different.
Um, but now we're going to see silver.
Uh, I don't think so.
I don't think the chest on any, maybe four.
Maybe four.
Yeah.
So we'll have to see if that ends up mattering here, but we do have infume starting this route significantly
had has the piglins in the hole at this point and is going for the ring of gold blocks here now going to be getting those guys trading as soon as he can.
while we see Silver just trailing a bit behind here at this point is going to need to find some
way to make up time will that for Obsidian matter we'll have to find out here as we see Silver
doing this trouble to gap route and does get some piglets actually going to bring them down I think
to the other ramp part if I'm not mistaken here yeah I think you're right about that but I think
this is a different ramp for all these ramps. So he's got a lot of things and he's got the
the obsidian, maybe he's in a slightly better position.
It's gonna be awkward leaving this bastion.
I think I love the TNT play here from Silver.
We're seeing TNT utilize a lot more,
usually on Desert Temple Seeds,
but we just got so much from the Barrett Treasure.
Like, I mean, look at all these stray pigs.
But he's got to have like 13 pigs here.
This infume have as many, maybe Silver saves a little bit
of time on just having more entities trading the gold.
I mean, it looks like there's terrain at the bottom here.
So probably gonna be looking to leave in that direction.
I like the diamond sword craft here from infume.
Silver.
42 string for infume.
So just hoping to maybe get a little bit more.
No, are we just sending it?
I guess we're just sending it on 42 string.
I didn't see how much the explosives we had
in the anchor department here,
but definitely could be a little bit
of a tricky situation explosive wise.
If we do not get more,
we'll have to see if silver goes for more explosives.
Looks like there is a decent amount of glowstone
in the inventory.
So I think this should be a fairly hittable zero,
but still we see infume actually heading
a different direction now.
I'm gonna use the pie chart in order
to be more confident heading directly
towards the good part of the fortress
is inside the fortress now at this point.
We see Silver actually, it looks like doesn't get as sort of,
he's more directly headed towards the fortress
compared to infume.
It does save a few seconds there over infumes.
And he's at the spawner first.
So like Silver looked so far behind,
but I think he's made up a ton of time
just getting to the fortress.
He does have three more explosives than Infium,
but it probably doesn't matter a ton
because you have the TNT to clear out your Blaze spawners.
I think we also have two Blazes pretty close.
Infium, a really aggressive kill on the Blazer,
trying to make sure if it dropped a rod,
he would be able to pick it up here.
But this is looking closer than I thought it was going to be.
I thought Infium was kind of just maybe
gonna run away with the Seed,
The silver's really bringing it back.
Absolutely, and we do have three rods for infume
and two rods for silver.
So just a one rod difference between the two.
And we now have the anchor cross.
So yeah, it looks like three beds,
three anchors for infume or for silver.
I assume the same for infume as well.
And now six rods for infume.
I expect to see the blind now
and we'll get that stronghold measurement here
as we leave the nether around the six minute mark
while Silver kills a blaze, gets up to five rods
at this point, so it's still behind,
but it is much closer than it was a moment ago.
I think this should be the sixth rod, right?
No, maybe?
Yeah, I think it is.
This probably is, but it's just been so awkward getting it.
No, it's not even the sixth rod,
so he's gonna have to kill some more blazes,
and he just wasted a lot of time running around,
dealing with a wither skeleton,
trying to manage the blazes and knockback
the whole time infume a lot cleaner with it. He's not precrafted like silver is,
but he's off to the races hurling aggressively. He's going to be in the stronghold relatively soon.
Looks like negative 230, negative 230. It looks like infume is crushing.
It's building his portal. Silver is just measuring.
Why does it say the fiddler?
And so I thought it was looking a lot closer than it is. Infume suddenly just like
so much farther ahead again.
It does sometimes feel like we just blink and infumes ahead.
is how I feel when I watch Enfume sometimes.
He is a very interesting player.
It looks like Enfume is just crushing, though.
It looks like he's turning.
Now having this strong one,
I think he's got a spike over towards the left
a little bit, so I'm going to be heading through here.
He has a nonchalance about him
that I feel like makes him less,
or at least appear less nervous for these events.
Where the main variable I think between success
and failure in these events
is your nerves and your ability to control them.
This does handle it well here as
Tim what's the fuck is that?
I mean this is universal sides that I
For damn Tim you only have six six and Tim Tim. Okay. Thank you. Thank you Tim
I'm the anchor in the beds, but if you don't keep the track high enough. It's going to hit you
That was a good notice. No, I didn't even notice. He has to be alive. Oh my god
So he's preplaced one anchor and he lost that falling shot like a skeleton
is going to hide. So he should be fine. I mean, the issue is if it flies for infumi,
it's probably going to fly for silver unless silver cranks higher, which we I would not
think is going to be the case. In this staircase, very, very awkward. Unfortunately for silver,
it just was a little too risky to get into the portal room there before doing so. So now
is going to be trying to get into the end as soon as possible and we now see infium waiting on the
purge let's see if silver can do anything about the zero it is let's see let's see handle the
terrain well obviously waiting on the purge silver going for the zero set up here actually though
that's a better pearl no if he has enough priority this is really yeah and he's out and he's gonna be
Pushing the same height but he's now we're gonna go for the same one
And it's gonna fly yeah same situation
Crank I think he had because I think he was aware that obviously from foomi hadn't finished it was gonna fly
It doesn't matter doesn't matter
Can't hit this one cycle. Let's see the first two beds are decent the third bed is good and this should be good
You should be diamond sword. This is 50 damage the diamond sword infume
Okay, he's fine with a to lead on silver scaring us a little bit. He knew he had to make a risky play
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he knew he had to make a risky play. So I think it's good to go for it
But obviously didn't pull it off
I think that's good to be honest, you know what I mean like the idea that you have the same
Fly away like that. That's consistent. That's good
Why are you not hate watching well because I'm gonna have to fucking invite all these people to my event if they win so I
Need them to show up
If I run the MCS are ranked world championships and nobody shows up. It's not really the world championship
How the cookies turn out it's hard for me to tell until they cool off did I mean?
I'm going to run some ads so there's no pre-rolls for the final run here.
I hate what Twitch does.
Okay, running him.
Is power napping when you sleep over your matches?
Chat, why is this playoffs for qualifying to his world's turning?
Yeah, so the top three will qualify.
We won't know who qualifies today.
technically three of the four people who move on today will make it but you
don't know who the one person tomorrow who won't make it is like you like
tomorrow's kind of crazy because only one person won't make it you know what
I mean this is like NBA regular season no I think it's more like a playoff
skin. It's still a playoff skin. You know what I mean? It's like an Eastern Conference finals.
There's a World Series for Minecraft. Yeah, check the pin column. I made it.
If Infumi doesn't make top three, then everybody qualifies. Yes, that's true.
I got a double check with Oliver.
Does it have a website? Yeah, mcsr.loadway.gg.
Like good for the first time.
Game 3, y'all. Infumi looking for a 30.
Yeah, yeah, I feel like Silver. I mean, I don't know. Silver is great at handling all sorts of situations.
He's a very smart player, but I do feel like the low food season speaking, but we have run flesh a lot of run flesh
But run flesh is kind of is not the best food source, right? So we're actually the new mr. Bees video
I know plans to runners adjust and adapt if they will go for anything else
But probably just gonna have to deal with this run. There's a 30 on my screen
The ridge or something like that. Okay in either case though
Interesting that silver goes for the shipwreck. Do they go for here?
Are we gonna get we're gonna go gold shovel and axe and then we get the shears as well there
Both runners going for the exact same thing as we now use those shears to get a lot of blocks
It's you're gonna be I'm just trying to look for any differences here between the runners
I guess the first thing that spots out that that I spot is there's some birch stuff in it
So what can people do to qualify for the world series the world championship the world series of baseball?
Yeah, but there's two qualifiers next weekend all the infos on the website
Maybe just going to more trees getting a couple more leaves in infium here
Also, silver has like a variety of wood types and leaves as well
I mean it's like managing the trailer was fire. It was shout out Archie infium
You know, just still keeping that lead saying a silver. This is why I'm rank one try and have a business tomorrow
Oh, it's game seven right? It's gonna be entering. I don't know to be honest. I have watched such a little baseball or basketball
It's called the basketball, right?
As we see, is that a brooch?
How do the current participants get decided?
It's on the website.
Yeah, there we go.
There's the chalice.
And we have a, look at this, Silver boating down.
And Infium staying on top.
I think this is just so much better.
L Boat down by Silver, because now he has a bridge up.
He appears to be making a name for himself here.
He's just made up 10 seconds on Silver, staying on top of the train
there, and the fort is close here.
Do you have your favorite NBA team, the Charlotte Horns?
So I don't want to play off so much.
We're just seeing build up and infium is not laying off the gas.
He's staying ahead of silver the entire time gets both his pre crafts off.
So infium is going to be starting his route here.
I think we have the high will come back next year.
A lot of different routes.
And people will be buzzing about our squad.
We'll probably see the same from silver.
It's interesting.
I was expecting him to go off to the left rampart
just because we saw the fortress closer there.
But infium is instead choosing to go for this and see it.
So we're going to go for the same thing.
No.
So it's actually going to be variance play.
So great stuff. So it looks like it's double triple here, right? Like both sides are good
infume goes for decay
and silver goes for Sue and
And the advantage is this is closer to the form here. Meanwhile is so the exit in the pearl hang will be
not a funnel off here on
This left left triple so other way around
How the if this affects the situation and foo me good
Silver as well. Yeah, okay. Hey a pretty simple situations overall
I only love a hole what it's worth is closer to the fortress, right?
So if these trades are really good, I mean silver might be just a little bit closer to the format
Maybe that will end up helping him a little bit. Maybe you can just a little bit easier to get a pearl to that fortress
As we now are checking the trades here's the pearl hang good to go here money hang setting
out the pearl hang and infume as well infume just goes he's out now check the trades he's got 21
all these 30 pearls seven explosives into the fortress I guess was just started those traits
a little bit earlier and I think silver can leave as well and silver's out as well here silver
maybe save his hand full of seconds from being a little bit closer but it's just double blaze bed
than worse. If you lose this, you're out of the tournament. He needs to make a move here.
We'll see if you can do anything funky or fancy on infume infumes got his double blaze
bed set off already to the silver even pre-crafting. Look at the hoglins for silver here too. This
is so awkward. Wow. So that's that's so bad. I mean, I guess maybe a silver lining here
is maybe you get a little bit of food from this guy, but it's just so I think it's just
not worth it honestly at all. And silver now has to deal with these with all of this junk.
He does get the four chops at least only two though.
Should be enough for the rest of the C. I suppose.
But I mean, it's gonna be a good rule for us if it's a far stronghold,
that's going to help a lot more.
But infume, I mean, he's been managing his health well here.
So like, how much is it really going to say?
Dude, infumi looks good, bro.
The portal on the way out of the nether and the way it looks like the best player
in playoffs right now is make as much difference as we thought looks like.
And it's close, nerdy.
It's 800 blocks away for Infium here.
So it's literally like one pearl throw away.
And he's just going to be able to maintain this lead.
So we're going to need something different in the strongholds for him to, for Silver to have any sort of shot coming back here.
You'll have to see what the strongholds and the end have to have to hold for us.
But it does seem like Infium getting ready to go here pretty soon.
just needs one more ride before leaving.
First blaze is not dropped.
Let's check out the second blaze.
It does drop.
Oh, and the next blaze dropped.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter really at all.
But we do see silver getting the measurement off.
So he's like a sub seven.
He actually goes out this seed in this series
digging through the wall
and is gonna be arriving at chords here shortly.
This is sub seven.
It's over.
It needs to go a few more blocks.
Oh my gosh.
Take some damage there on that fall scared me, but is now going to be entering the
30 seconds ahead dude as we get the settings changed and
Check out low keys out on some bullshit. Now the right re-draws you ship by fine bird so far looks like
Hacks is out. Street just saying through crypto bet. Oh nothing. I like maybe this hidden room off to the left wasn't there one
Yeah, nah, that's what I'm wondering about. We'll have to see if this ends up
This is going down on spike looks a little bit better. He's not it. He purled down cuz he really thought it was it
It was the portal room, but yeah, but it seems like you're does hear something
No, not committing over here. Yeah, right here. Okay, and he gets his hunger reset off
So infume at this point
Lost a lot of time in the nap, but got it done. It is a two-eyed bro doesn't need to craft anymore
Oh, now we're gonna check out this zero is that 055 so gets the pearl
Clip off and is going to be going from right zero here again. Is that this?
This is T100
Where the fuck is he going and so we're gonna be doing another universal side set of classic. Oh my god. He missed
Five explosives here. This is gonna get really awkward miss. He missed. He might not be like this is zero
I mean the first three plus two. He's got it the second was great
But this is probably not gonna kill it and it means he's on fire nerdy. He's on fire and he dies
And so it's up to silver now. This is still the same hard zero, but silver has one more explosive still a little bit awkward on
Universal side setup doesn't miss places obsidian though. And so it's gonna be sitting a little bit better
Good first bed zero. He of course doesn't even know that I think she died here
He does have to send this and
Does get a little fantastic stuff from silver with the double explosive there at the end
and able to take out the dragon and take infume to a game four.
It's not a sweep, Dury.
It's not a sweep.
That's a crazy choke.
Practice is clearly paying off for Silver as we get a sub-eight there.
That's a crazy choke.
And, yeah, as you mentioned, we're at least going to a game four.
It's not a sweep.
And we'll have to see what this next seed has in store for us.
It's kind of hype if Silver makes this Reverse 3-0. I mean, obviously, a Reverse 3-0 is hype,
but it also means that every single person
hasn't called for the championship. The Reverse sweep would be crazy. It is unlikely,
because Silver now gets counterpicked twice, all right?
And Fumi gets to pick both seeds for the next two games
if he loses the next game, hypothetically.
Let's see, is it Pat's in his chat?
Zen, not even Pat's, it's Zen.
Is he talking?
Quiet as fuck.
What's Silver Shadown?
Also not talking.
Eerily quiet for both of you.
Eerily quiet.
And Shopify Rebellion.
Oh my god, overtime match point. Overtime match point. 5 to 4. Game 1.
Losing that with a boss G is, that's game ending. Yeah, GG.
This is why we siege. Chat Liberty though, bro. Like gunfights like that.
Isn't it crazy Rainbow Six Siege?
Dude, Andy's playing insane, no?
Isn't 18 and 10 a crazy stat line?
The last thing we need in Siege is variety with 80 operators.
We have enough variety.
Take that variety and shove it up your fucking ass.
We have 80 shields for 80 operators.
We have so many operators, it's insane.
Just literally vault shields.
The game will be so much better overnight.
Agreed.
Nice, Sammy.
Yes!
Oh my god.
What's going to take map one?
The map just yet, and already they've got two picks.
Already up five to three.
Jail, I have 15 kills so far, but rebellion looking
to commit to this clear.
Spoil also created.
His status so mean.
Holy LARP.
LARP in springs.
Minute 30 on the clock.
the guys the face of rainbow succincts and they're going to stack up and just play trades
off to the wind and he's going to swing and he's trying to even out the numbers but it
is better.
20 and 10.
And that's game.
15.
That's game.
Jaylad in guards.
Don't sell this.
20% of the time.
Nice.
But that's just one quarter of 80 and that is guards.
We've been celebrating.
yo amby is the truth bro this is what we see bro amby is him let's go
amby is him bro
damn the guy's fucking awesome we might have spoilt in grand finals tomorrow chat
Wait, this crowd is awesome, no?
Holy cinema, holy cinema.
Undeafened, Mr. Iceman.
I tried, I lied, but...
Yo, what's up, sorry, I'm sorry.
What up, Papa?
I'm back, I'm back.
You're back?
Yeah.
I didn't, I couldn't fall asleep at all.
Yeah, I mean, that's okay.
But I took a bowl of bath, so it's chill.
Lying down in a bowl of bath is still a good decompressant.
I feel better.
I was watching Aquacort at the other reverse sweep.
That's fucking crazy.
Yup.
And in Fumi just fucked up his zero.
He's, yup.
He's fallible, fallible.
Oh my God, help me fallible.
Dumb fuck.
I'm sorry.
My bad.
No, no, no, it is fallible.
Happy to teach someone happy to teach.
Thank you.
Always willing to learn.
And that's the beautiful thing.
We're never done learning in this life.
Sometimes you think you are and then you're not.
Yeah, he's been fucking gapping though even on that last see like oh yeah infumi
Yeah, yeah, he just choked. Do you think he gets nervous now that he choked though?
You lost and crushes again. He lost in three last weekend two and then one game four. I don't know
Why he definitely gets tilted he gets tilted like I think infium
I mean, I think everyone gets tilted like it's just annoying to lose a lot of games in a row
This hacks get tilted. I feel like that guy's locked. I
I don't know it's weird and the the amount that I've seen infium get like very tilted is more he's making a stone
Oh stone sword. I was like, what the fuck?
Infium gets tilted but like after he loses is that like thanks. I don't know about like in a set
But like when he lost at the land, he just like sat in the BNB the rest of the day
Oh, just to press we got we got yeah, we got a matter about the next day
But like yeah, like after last season playoffs because he went
I think he's the only person, or maybe there's only one other person,
I want to have this golden frame for him, the golden compositor.
He went 0-1-6 on the last day of playoffs last season.
He just got 0-3 in the semis and the third place match.
And he was like emo about it for a couple of days.
But it's like after the set, like I don't know about like in the middle of the set,
how he like reacts or whatever, because this match going to actually care.
Is he going to care at all?
Because he was ahead, like I'd say easy mistake.
It's not like he got gapped.
I think it feels a lot worse losing when you get gapped or like losing to some RNG show.
You still lost to something that's completely messed up.
You lost to some real hacks for the first 30 hun.
30 hun.
30 hun, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, so you're just saying it's a polymarket crypto bet.
Do you think if like, if this shit got on polymarket somehow, if like Mojang would try to like
shut it down, or like what's even the jurisdiction on shit like that?
There's like almost no recourse to removing it.
Learning moment again, tell me what that word means.
There's not a lot of options for people to stop websites.
Like I think the most they could do is maybe cease and desist for use of like their IP
names.
Uh huh.
Like maybe they can't use the word like Minecraft, but like if they call it like block championships
or something, you know what I mean?
Like you can just do that.
Just out of luck.
Yeah.
I don't think they have any options to stop it because I just have no idea.
Like does riot even care?
Like, uh, have they tried in the past or like other, uh,
league is right?
I guess I don't know.
I mean, QT had the same issue with streamer awards,
streamer awards, yeah.
I just sent the cease and desist and they just fucking ignored it.
So I don't know.
I mean, I think in four years, there was going to be like crazy legislation,
you know, all but banning, sure.
Yeah, but I think for the next four years, it's just Wild West.
Yeah. Well, no one watching Minecraft has any money.
So I don't think we have to worry about it.
Uh, hold up, buddy.
Speak for yourself.
I got it like that and I'm starting the market.
It wise.
The filter.
Why is he not doing the filter?
He did do the filter.
I don't know.
He did like the slow one where you break it.
He does what I do
Oh, really? He's looking like I always did. Oh, maybe um, that's weird. I
Don't really know cuz I do the slow one too
Yeah, well we know
I think it's just a pivot if he thinks he's getting chased like really close behind
Okay, he's like a little bit of his going for the single chest lower. What do you call that one stair chest?
It's like the bottom stables just no obby L
The silver have any extra I'll be I don't know I mean 14. He's not there
So we're has 19 so we're has an extra chest somehow or something
Yeah, what the fuck but this is actually really big because silver is gonna have 20
So we're got the chest already. I mean no way he's no, I think he's just ahead on trades because he did the filter
20 no because they're both 120
You can just nod to him for the miss 20, bro
He's 19 fuck how's he have 19? I think he missed a chest over is leaving with 20 gold
Let's look at the see the inventory thing. I said, I don't even realize. Oh my god, so we're fucking Jesus Christ
He was like a legit take away from dying wait and food is gonna lose off of one obby
Well, but fucking silver is tweaking the shit out in the fucking
lava
What is the worst buggy he has 11 bread, but like he can't heal that quick
He's building up so that he can get a jump pro because he built on this fucking gravel
And so he can't know he just bugged this train so hard, but like
Chat what chess did he get? I think he's just a child. I don't think he's just top. No, no, no, no
That was a chest. It's good
All right, and one of the same and a lot of other slow things, but it was
One of these outside ones that if you just skip for a pace, the left single chest
Says the streets right single chest this walk. She's all right. If you put straight up into a fucking strider
What the fuck they're both purling badly. Did he do that on purpose?
He missed me do that on purpose. He's a free that missed. Oh shit. Wow good for silver though
But so what does it know where the fucking spawner is he's in the trenches over here
This is a bit of a shut off.
Can you not do this?
The thing you can.
He's trying, but he doesn't he doesn't find this.
He doesn't know.
Damn, he lost so much of his.
He lost his whole lead.
But if he doesn't have it either.
Yeah, but he's just going to get there because it's infumi.
But you won't believe in believe in Rowan.
For a second here.
Is he in Rowan?
Yeah, I know I know I figured that's great. I only know one Rowan
Not same guys
No, I can send. Oh
Yeah, not the same
But a bit of an awesome guy bit of a legend
So if I'm spawning if you still looking I think it's like there's I don't know
I wonder where the second spawner and this is because this first one is right next to like the middle
But it's weird because when you do this pie thing. Oh he if he finds a different second spawner
They could be he knows you got that part behind because he just saw the the
Into fire achievement, right? Yeah. Yeah
I think
These are different these are different
It's just weird because so where's like better terrain around his but if they're different
um it could change the the strongholds yeah yeah yeah small so that's a pick this up in
the ocean oh my god his mouse just fucking flicked is he gonna get it yeah he got it he
got it he got it he got it 100% and it broke it broke so that's I mean it's good for him
Send the one I have to go pick it up. No, if you might
180 who's the dirt
It's like I don't even know why he's like
What do you think it's me I'm just calling out a name
So you call now earlier you didn't even say anything you're there was a guy called like V
It was like a V Street hater or super fan.
It was like V Streets left nut or something.
Damn, infumi going down the reverse sweeps happening.
A lot of time.
He was ahead in the end.
Give it time.
So it was on ten.
I'll be in this places.
Could it be anything?
Let's be serious for a moment.
This game's over.
Okay.
Think about my boy Silver is he's been here season one champion.
He does not choke these moments because he's he's been in bigger ones.
He's so under starter. That's so weird. That was a really good nap. That's like her good like back now. I'm a good spike
Commit here and go left. I
Like this still and then it goes right
Yeah, that's a crazy just force crazy good force Indians and starter because it's just a luckier player
So it doesn't have to deal with the back now, but so far it doesn't matter
Eight explosives
It's over bro. And this is easy
back left 95 call today
Okay, oh my god crank 105
Do you know what you say when you talk sometimes or is it just kind of like yeah, just noise to me. Oh
My god, there's no errors
Wait, wait, wait, dude. You are still you are making this it's it's oh my god. You just lost fucking else. What do you mean?
Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god
Oh my god, it chases down?
Oh my god, he choked!
No!
He choked!
No!
If he's gonna choke too, if he's gonna choke too!
Oh!
Oh my god!
And he doesn't have an arrow.
This is low key anyone's game,
because if he doesn't,
if you don't start killing off this crystal,
but that's just not possible,
Cuz he doesn't have arrows either and he's out of bread now
Indy at least has enough health
Okay, he's just not he's committing to dying or something. He's committed dying because now he doesn't have enough health to break the other crystals
Wow, what the fuck is it? Wow? Wow? He's committing to dying because his other his only other solution
Oh, cuz there are explosives
He's out of explosives. He has no arrows
He would have needed to build up to every single crystal by the time that's done my god
Which I saw Liam do in a race against Billy blocks
Even for the best players it takes like 10 minutes, like not like 5 minutes
Like an absurd amount of time
Oh my god
Wait
If these players fuck, if they fuck up the run back it could genuinely be faster for them to reset the seat
Silver I think is trying to look for arrows
He doesn't even have a pickaxe to go through the bad gap
If he gets like any arrows he can bow the crystals and finish
it. But they neither of them have explosives. Notably, never mind, infim's not grabbing
beds from the village. I was going to say he could be trying to grab beds from the village.
Why didn't Silver grab any wood?
It's hard to think when this shit happens. I don't know. I don't, for what it's worth,
I don't think infim's playing this run back correctly either.
Silver did at least-
He got wood and furrows.
Yeah, but I think he should be getting beds from the village because he's going to get
back into the end and then what is he going to do is he's going to build up. Like he didn't
Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Silver's just gonna have to reset this from Brawl. Oh, he died with wool. Oh
You died with wool in the end. Okay, I
See what that's what those streets are saying
Silver's doing a sight signal. Oh
He's collecting the arrows
From this no, I don't know what I don't know what he's doing. Oh
He's dead
If he has even if he has even a one arrow he can do a strat like you can one shot the dragon
I don't know if he's practiced the new damage or someone shot specifically
Is the game plan I think he's trying to hunger he's just really get a share in this hole and die and then get stuff back
Because getting the cords is annoying the fact that silver as pearls is really good the fact that silver as pearls is really good
But he's not going to get another, he's not going to get a brick of wood, not a morsel,
not a single bite to eat.
Apparently Silver knows one shot, there are two arrows in that hole, I think that's what
he was going for.
The problem is, I just don't think he can get to-
Putting it all on one shot is insane though.
It's pretty, it's honestly pretty consistent.
I saw Sky Crab hit the sub eight one shot.
Yeah, is that the fastest one shot run?
Probably, right?
I guess the strides seeds, but well, yeah, but the strides even better since then he can get what up here
So we get what up here. Okay?
Also get killed by a hoglin
armor beautiful
If he was back through his portal though, but silver
If infium has
Beds
They say right?
Well, yeah
Wow, this is like
It makes an axe
Okay, if foomi back in so he's got to break every crystal or is he just going no if he has yes five beds
He doesn't have I just know he's that much more right
Someone said he died with 15 will if he's breaking. He's trying to make sure it's five beds. I don't know what he's gonna build with
Oh, but you have the wood for that
Yeah, he's well. He's my he just mind the planks he plays to get the wood play. He's gonna boat up here. He's a good this system
Seven you that's two beds
No, he has eight, um...
He's another color?
Yeah, he has Oak in the top.
And he has... That's crazy, remember?
He has wool here.
Yeah, so he's just fine.
He's just fine. He's gonna want...
Silver is...
So much slower?
Yeah.
I mean, Silver's got to put some...
How does Silver not have the same amount of beds?
Like, where did he get all these wool and beds?
I think Silver had one more.
Oh, it's GG.
Oh, he can use the perch anyways.
It's GG.
I wouldn't have even won for this year, I would have won this game.
Is that fucked up to say?
Uh, is that fucked up to say?
No, it was 100% right.
Yeah, you would have definitely lost to Infoomi 3-1.
Totally fair, bro.
I wonder if you've been here, I would have lost 3-0.
Damn.
Damn, bro, that feels bad.
A while here.
out of playoffs with a 14 minute game is fucked.
Entered at nine. So yeah, there's no way he could have reset
in one.
No, he could not. But if the runback was more annoying, like
if you didn't have wool, I guess you'd have better
I'm just wondering what happened with all the silver's wool in
beds.
Um, I think it was a case of neither player realized they didn't
have arrows because you have arrows like 95, 90, like 9% of
The fact that they had played triple to gap, plus looted an extra chest each and neither
of them had arrows is just really rare.
It's one of those things that if you're playing so fast, especially with playoffs, nerves too,
even on the ranked ladder, I'll forget seeds that I don't have.
So they're going for the zero that they were going for is a weird-ish side setup.
Like it's not a full-side setup, but it's pretty awkward.
At 99, you're like a little bit offset, so if you don't have arrows, it's hard.
So yeah, I think they just neither of them realize.
And by the time you place the anchors on the beds and everything, you'd have to just commit to it.
Because you can't bail, you have no arrows to shoot the crystals on, you just have to try.
They both tried, they both failed.
Wait, bro, get out of this call.
It's your game.
I'm going to leave so badly, man.
Get in the room, bro.
Bro, it's going to take him 30 minutes.
You got to play.
I know.
I'll see you.
Good luck, bro.
Break your legs.
What about this?
Oh, Fineberg is our final match going up against
NHB winner will play EDCR.
We have three of the top four semifinalists.
A new playoffs where so I'm going to let this run for a bit.
I got to check my cookies.
Yeah, 100 percent guaranteed to get someone new on top.
Very exciting. I don't know.
I mean, who's going to be that is so many options really could be anyone.
A lot of good options.
Yeah, I mean, bracket here.
We're getting some good lineups, Nerdy.
We've had, this is a really fun playoff to watch.
I think, yes, maybe my favorite is turning out to be,
and we still have the best matches to come.
We still have the best ones.
So it's gonna be great.
Yes, we do a five-rick here up shortly against NHB,
so that's gonna be a fantastic game.
But yeah, so it looks like Infium's gonna be going
against Aquacord next weekend, or not next weekend,
tomorrow, tomorrow, sorry.
And EDCR is going to be going at the winner of Feinberg versus NHB.
So this is exciting, man.
This is exciting.
I'm looking forward to see who is going to move on to the grand finals,
who is going to move on to tomorrow's game here upcoming between Feinberg and
NHB, but yeah, what a fantastic series there.
Silver almost able to take us to a game five, not quite, but
Still a good performance, I think, from Silver.
And that last seed was the greatest thing I've ever watched.
Yeah, it was a good matchup.
I loved that we didn't get a 3-0.
Silver got a match, you know, kept it close.
It was like you said, a fun watch.
Do we have an interview with Indy?
I believe so.
Just gonna need a second here where we get into that.
But we got an exciting match coming up
with Feinberg and NHB, I think honestly,
it's kind of reminiscent of the Feinberg versus Lowkey
in terms of play style, NHB.
I think he's just got like really good mechanics
and he's been improving a lot recently.
I think that's going to be a really exciting one.
But Feinberg finally maybe making his stretch
for like a first place in playoffs.
He's doing really well.
So I think that is something to look forward to.
I'm personally, I'm very excited.
I'm very excited for that match.
Yeah, no, I am too. It's my first time ever commentating Feinberg. I've never, I've only ever, yeah, I've only ever, yeah, I've only ever commented with Feinberg, but not on Feinberg's gameplay in playoffs.
Because every single time that we have had the opportunity or there has been a Feinberg match, then I've been commented with him, so I haven't been able to do that, you know what I mean?
So it's very exciting.
I'm looking forward to being able to get that opportunity to do so.
Of course, NHB is an up and coming great runner as well.
People were, we're going to get into our interview here with
infume, the winner of this match.
So I'm looking forward to that.
Yeah.
Yeah, you know, you know, I think it's it's it's all good or we muted right now. I think
we're I think we're muted right now. Oh, I think I muted because oh, I shouldn't mute
here. Sorry. I'm gonna be hearing double nerdy voice. It's okay. And my own voice. But the
interviews, the only thing that matters, but we are indeed back. You guys can see I turned
Wait, hold on, I'm sorry.
Can the stream here is?
Beautiful.
You want to take it away, Nervy?
You go first. I'm having technical difficulties still.
Okay, okay. Well, Envium, first of all, congrats on the win.
How are you feeling just overall?
I think that's the first question we like to ask people.
Everything's all over the place.
I choke back to back zeros,
And then I'm now I'm trying to get tech support getting into this to this playoffs interview. It's just there's
It's everything's all over the place
Everything everywhere all at once. There's no well. It's fun watching you. I did have a question on how you look for
Lava on village seeds. You made up some time on silver dude
Want to like hear your thought process on how you approach it
I mean that seed I remember it's a kind of funny because I was looking in HBG earlier
I think even last night earlier today. I think you were doing yet Parker you were doing them you you checked um I
Think silvers. Oh, no. Yeah, you check silvers over worlds. I saw he was yeah in Netherite
He's bottom 0.0 percent on village seeds. I have a 20 second faster overall than average
So it's like I already know I feel confident them and now I can see you know it's something he kind of struggles with
I feel a lot better with it.
But then also I remember specifically on that overworld,
it was really weird because the lava pool you saw
is in the opposite direction of the river
where you would want to get your gravel.
But it's just like, it's weird.
I don't really want to play for a woodlight.
The river was kind of close and it was weird.
So I specifically remember I looked,
I wanted to look down the river
and look towards the desert to see if there's lava pool.
And I saw some stone exposed down the river.
And I was like, when I saw that, I was so,
I was like, oh my God, this is gonna be so good.
And I mean, I think it didn't end up being really good
because my line is really nice.
I've got a bunch of blocks of leaves
just to get my gravel on the way
and then like two seconds later I'm building a portal
and I imagine he was doing a woodlight.
I remember even when I was in the portal animation
just like, please come on,
just let me get a bad woodlight.
I know he's a woodlighter, please.
Yeah.
Well, that's awesome to hear the thought process.
Thanks for sharing.
Are you here, Nerdy?
Okay, all right, I guess I am here.
Okay, okay.
I'm gonna, I guess you're myself on Discord
or on through the screen share or something.
So it's like really wrong.
I'm triple.
But my question for you in fume is just
who are you looking forward to?
Oh, my God, I cannot do this.
It's actually so bad.
I can't hear myself.
Okay, that's good.
With the light.
I got to use the Chrome browser.
Okay.
Okay, I'm good.
I'm good.
I'm so sorry.
That is that is hilarious.
All right.
Enough gap in rainbow six seas, John.
But the Azami's playing sometimes.
We've seen teams play the Azami, the normal spot and wrappers.
other times when you've had something like a Lamar or a Jaeger available, you'll actually
see the Azami kind of play more around the construction or the bedroom position.
Raxen.
Magnets ready.
Am I crazy?
Is the best of three not insane?
Like for the semifinals of a major?
Why is he not a best of five?
Like, he's still gonna be able to get as far as that slow, you know?
And even weak tournaments are a best of five.
When they see that Keeba, they know somebody's gonna be in chip.
He's not without support.
Canadian Andy.
Biting some support from logistics and bedroom.
Spoigt is not alone.
The game is devastatingly slow.
I guess each round is pretty slow, you know.
Topping the charts.
Spoigt has been unbelievable in phase one
into unbelievable this tournament.
And now, he's in a difficult spot.
Azami can be really good to play your life,
but the more attackers start dropping down on the team
Three minutes around five games
Yeah, that's fair
But I mean you are basically talking about a League of Legends series bro
Elite series can go not leaving
finals best of five right now a minute and 45 seconds twisted mind bro is
trying to be like Jinx's son I'm crying me oh dude you are white why are you
talking like that you are white you don't have to regurgitate everything you
see on tiktok your whole vocabulary doesn't need to be other
I'm crying me home
Keep our case support from Canadian and Nambi
Doesn't matter
Can't really matter you've got to go elsewhere. I was gobsmacked to not see but somebody get onto Jim window
any window any window really it was just so passive from twisted minds they're
being given problems at the moment that they are not able to adapt quick enough
to solve and again it floats into I have MCSR on the second monitor but there's
gonna be a break so we're gonna watch this what would you love to get rid of
spoilt playing inside a gym can you imagine just literally one fire bolt
going into gym oh and then he just goes down the hatch yep that round probably
It doesn't happen if you literally just have one the father those two are check cats body and all there are still plenty of ways
You can deal with boy in that position and twisted minds just being a little bit too one-dimensional moment when they're trying to find those out
We're gonna see a full-size rotation here
Back downstairs we go but not give it another go open Jim and bedroom just yet
Come around five you look like a fat buck kill yourself stairs, so why don't I check that?
So what was that about cat's bar?
So you're having you're having a bunch of people coming here to tell me to take that
I think to understand like why the rebellion are moving the way they are
He has a series called a rip to skip.
He wants to give you a tag 10 Lucy, but I have a tag 10 Lucy.
just by sheer numbers to overcome that with this lineup.
So, Rebellion said moving to countermort directly,
twisted mind style, guards moving up the red stairs,
going for a massive full clear of which
there is nobody from Rebellion present.
It's a massive bait at the moment.
He wants to deliver it to me.
Look at that top floor and place a load of meat jammers
all over the place.
So what happens in the prep phase?
Well, you set some pre-placed drones on that top floor
and you see some meat jammers and then you go,
they must be holding upstairs.
He sent me a DM that, dude, catspaw you write messages like scammers do, like you could
genuinely train a team of scammers, his message goes, hi Levin, respond in three days to win
a free 10-10 Monkey D. Luki Daughters promo card.
And now they've wasted a good plunge of time quickly reply fast
She's being chosen
We saw the value out of the room inside of round one kitchen floor did not exist
It was a very dangerous position to play it
Same can be said here for kitchen corridor all about that spot open the DMs
If not being triggered another slow mine
Open the DMs. I'll reply to you a hundred percent after stream
Why do you tell me to compensate for that though salt on scanners candela's
Just trying a little bit more utility good fine my twisted minds in fact
It's still looking for a kill
Michonne
Moving down what a hot spot the okaipa is troubled. You'll take that
The player playing agro on the war radius and f not in here as well more information being gathered by Shopify rebellion
Yo, can't be nice making its way anticipating a plant over an arsenal
I have a free five thousand dollar card
I rarely get scammed.
How long does the team for the fuse chat, what's the fuse timer?
Now with half the post-plant gone as well still struggling to come up with an idea for this retake
That's an easy kill
His IGL his leader the best she can seven seconds
Dude, I feel like attacking is so
Or just I feel like defending after the bomb has been planted in rainbow six siege is so hard
like way harder than CS2 or Valorant. Like a retake. Rich kid thing of the
problem, appreciate it.
Don't let the plant, I know the game literally, the game feels like a don't
let them plant situation. I mean obviously that's the situation but like in CS2
you can back off a site, slow down the take, allow your team to rotate, and then do a quick retake.
This game is so foreign to me, it's so crazy.
It's kind of an awesome concept of the game.
There's not Minecraft and Minecraft events on break right now, so yeah, it's not Minecraft, you're right.
Cat's ball with the 25 gifted. Thank you, man. I promise I'll apply upstream
You see curia vs falcon CS 2 no, I think it was same time as league I was watching
I haven't really got an interprosy as to yet
What should I be a fan of one team is just fucking everyone crazy style
Vitality and then feeling like they have to play isn't vitality just crushing everyone
Navi beat them whoa nice addition here who's the best American team just
on to the top step and didn't catch the name the name good to destroy the shield
in the ads and that was kind of the first undoing of this whole why did you
drop a laughing emoji why is it a sign of old what's low what team is that
where they from no one is that a player
They all fucking blow
Is there an idea for any rainbow sixies players
of playing fucking lame. Like obviously a riot shield and call duty is fucking lame.
But in Rainbow Six Siege it's such a different game. Is there a lame way to play?
Are shields still lame? Shields are lame everyone agrees but they are strong.
Often times in games, lane is a replacement word for somebody who plays passively or defensively, right?
Somebody who's aggressive is usually more fun to play against, because it means you end up with more interactions, you know, more exciting, whatever.
So it's more fun when someone swings mid and takes the fight every round, and it's like a little cat and mouse game, who's gonna win that fight?
But in Rainbow Six Siege, you're, I think, I think naturally incentivized to play tactfully, right? Like, there's no...
I don't feel like there's as similar of an idea of, like, swinging mid.
But I'm assuming, even though it's a more tactical game and more slow-paced and more defensive, you can still play lane in Rainbow Six, right?
Like, you can still find a way to be lame.
Can you watch something else since you joined? They lost every round. That's not true.
I watched the last round of Game 1 where they won, so...
Will you play Rainbow Six Ujigen?
I don't think I'll play it too much. I just want to watch it more and get more, like, aware of what's happening.
I would play it to learn more about it, but I wouldn't play it to, like, get good.
There's too many games, bro.
We're going to any world cup canes it must go to one Michael. I think I would go just
because it's in LA and it's cool. And the main reason the knock-offs it's expensive
But like, you know, I can suck with him.
SPOINT!
Oh my gosh, Util.
SPOINT, get that Util away.
J-Lon.
Where's Twisted Minds from Tet?
There's Saudi Arabia team?
Saudi Arabian team?
Middle East?
Nina?
Imagine if you got ambi on your team for the jinx event. I now understand why they wouldn't let us replace our pro of ambi
because Andy probably would have solo won us the event. I get it, that was a bad
call by me. MC starts starting in a minute, sweet same child, it's gonna be
six minutes after they go off the intermission screen.
someone on his shoulder and he's so low at the moment he knows I'm in his position
well sir is there with the assist oh he was greedy how does resin work is
everyone dropped what the fuck happened in that grenade what the fuck happened
to that grenade what the fuck is happening with that grenade what the
hell was that? What the hell was that? Why did that shit turn into a fucking Spider-Man
Gadget? How many uh, how many cancer agents are there in Rainbow Six?
Where have we been here before?
Yeah, I'm gonna tell you what I saw from them on their defenses. I want you to realize those attacks
It just ran were exactly what we said. Okay, so I would expect these attacks to be very similar
All right for basement. They have a castle room
If they don't have this crazy that we're hearing this right now, okay, am I crazy gonna castle main stairs?
Am I being a soft right now? Is there a delay the pool the pool door feels like it'd be cheating when I said the B2
I meant they're gonna put a VP looking kitchen hall. Okay, this is like so much
I feel like like I feel like like rude listening
The crowd can't hear it. I know but one player or one coach on the other team
could just listen to the stream like one person I mean I guess it'd be really
hard to listen, convey the information. Oh, they don't speak the same language.
I
Translate I was being Arabic, but I think it's beautiful language. It sounds awesome
My least favorite part about Arabic is how it's infiltrated, Zoomer speaks.
There's two Bs.
Say Wallahi, bro!
Say Wallahi!
It feels very ignorant every time it's another close affair between Shopify rebellion and
Twisted mines on layer three three. I'm crying. There's to a lot
same story
Yeah, I have a decisive series unfortunately Ali nothing remotely close to that G2 game yesterday
Twisted mines continue to surprise us, but the rebellion by the same token continue to fight as hard as they can
All right, we're gonna switch gears to minecraft when it starts we have Feinberg versus NHB starting soon here
I'm keeping an eye on it
If this goes to OT, I will pry all this.
Is Xbox Game Pass still lit?
Wow, that was a crazy turn in that flash.
flash. There was a price decrease recently. That's kind of awesome. What a rare thing
to have. Did you imagine getting an email from Netflix? You've just been hella profitable,
I don't know you're like fuck it, bro
It was after a massive increase maybe that was their strad all along
How do you increase it by $4 about people getting mad at us and some of the beans like increase it by 10 then drop it by six
To people series Netflix, I think it's
Bar none the most
You'd like subscription service, right?
Like there are more people who watch YouTube obviously YouTube's free, but like as far as subscription services go, I think Netflix is top-down by a wide margin.
Dude, what the fuck was that equipment, bro?
Is everything in rim of this? Okay. No, this is a stupid question. I'm not gonna ask it.
I was gonna say is everything in rainbow six siege real like do they exist like in Netflix is only good for SPR
But obviously the answer is no this guy's fucking upside down. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I asked that guy's upside down. Okay
I don't know bro, we spent like four fucking trillion dollars every year on the military and we probably have some of this shit
It's your arsenal. Well, you need to make sure you have enough upside down tech exists
Show might be lying depending on what the rebellion have if you have three more nades for example and a DMR
Price might decrease with the removal of call duty
Ami what are we doing?
He makes his way back this position him from jail. That's perfect. He knows that I'm
What's crazy about Ramos Exige is how fragile people are.
Bad starting guys, I haven't pulled up, I promise you.
And you know what, my eyes are offset, so I have one eye on it at all times.
Spoilt with a long angle looking through these smoke in these rounds are long have they always been three minutes
What happened to rainbow six
What happened to the whole thing where we knew what they were doing y'all
Is that the coach in the background
Never had a handle on that round
Not at all and be clip from the last map. I think I saw it was the turn right oh from last mouth
He's
Yeah, he's kind of beast mode
Flynberg and HP on first kill right now
Okay, I would like to retract my comment. I understand why they don't do best of five this shit is slow as hell
It's three minutes per round and they get like a minute between rounds like this shit is crazy slow
The crowd is hype. I wish a fucking league crowd is like that, bro.
The best e-sports crowds in the world. Number one Rocket League, specifically French Rocket
League fans. Number two CS2.
in the same manner they played on basement of all the sites they got the
not for the same level of flexibility number three
FGC
What's up
All of FGC yeah, I'm lumping the whole thing together
CS is number one. I don't know bro. Rocket League is really good.
Do you count Smash as the FGC?
It depends.
Depends what you ask.
Okay, best start.
Bad start. 4v5.
5
4v4, just kidding, ambi's getting a kill
show me ambi, show me ambi
don't
show me anyone but ambi
ambi with a 2k
why am I not seeing ambi get kills?
he's dead
okay, fair enough
fuck
and they're gonna rez?
can you get in here, spoi?
spoi, can you get in there?
ahhhhhh
I'm not
Unless
All right, there's our final match of the day y'all it is Feinberg versus NHP
The winner makes it to the final day of playoff season 10. The winner walks up top four
Loser of course eliminated. Let me move my camera from NHB here
I like that we have trees on on the seed, but gravel could be a problem. I saw a water pool
I'm pretty sure I saw the lava pool desert temple. This is fine birds preference
He said it's the seed he's the most comfortable on so to get it on the first map is actually a pretty good situation for him
Fine bird isn't delayed. So we actually just lost like three seconds. I don't know
How?
Because 44 45 46 47 48. Yeah, they're they're tied. They're synced like ends up
We've seen a lot of wood lights affect a lot of these runs. I don't know how
Maybe is going to go for the gravel here. He's fine. We're gonna do the same thing
It's like a second lava pool out of the way
So Feinberg didn't see that then this is gonna be a significant advantage for an HP
He does see the fire
So actually both players are probably gonna be doing the same thing getting their flint from that ocean
Not too far away to play
Okay, it's probably gonna be like a six-second entry advantage for an HP's pretty moot
He's to have gotten that gravel ahead of Feinberg and now may be able to take a lead
But Feinberg actually not going into the ocean funds a little bit of gravel here. Oh, there we go
That was actually way faster now able to use that and honestly, I think both runners very very close to
One another here entering a single only just with a little bit of a lead here, but single is kind of necessary, bro
It's another let's see you could do double limb, but everything would have to be best of three as
Which maybe is more worth. I don't know the portal just a few interesting to try it out
Yeah, I mean clean gameplay from both runners love to see it looks like I
Can't tell what kind of bad
Well, I wonder if that's better double elimination, but that's three
Best of one lower bracket
I think best of ones to cartoonish usually not gonna have to worry about getting more blocks here
Who are you rooting for? I don't know a lot about an HB to be honest
Gravel though actually kind of low on the block. So maybe this is but I hope fine bird shot dead in the street of this route
But craft me up our gold helmet and we have one triple on the right
So we're probably gonna be seeing a suit from both these players. Oh
My god fine bird
Oh my god, NHB, they both take a bunch of damage.
Feinberg pops the gap.
HB doesn't pop the apple, which is fine, as long as he doesn't take another hit.
It fucks up his bridge a bit.
They're like neck and neck right now, though.
Feinberg took a hit somewhere.
I didn't look at it.
Pigs into the hole and HP just a few seconds ahead still as
We see a lot of bridges today. I feel like it's only been bridge and shred now. We had some stables
Yeah, we had it all. Yeah, we had some housing
So if HP took some damage there, oh, we did one gap. Oh, you have one. Yeah, he sells a gavel
Okay, we're checking the other chests. Oh, no, we're pie darring trying to find the fork
If you take some damage looks like we haven't found it yet. Oh, okay. We're trying to find it
I think you know the direction
Fineberg at 17 obby their trades are almost tied. It looks like fine birds in the Bastion was nearly going for a pearl hang
could have bet
True, but finder. It's fine bird leaning up. Oh, it's back here wasn't the fortress in the office
This is not where I thought saw the fortress. So so I must have just been mistaken there
I don't think fine bird sees the fortress is headed sort of horrible pearl hang
Fineberg chokes that entirely he meant to pearl hang you didn't get a jump roll. He's he's thrown this
He doesn't finish his trades
He hasn't finished his trades he did pie-dar so the fort is presumably this way
But he's really far behind off of that miss pearl hang. That's really bad
I mean, I'll catch up a bit here. I guess because he's still eventually got it
But now he's super low on health. He only has zombie flesh. His pearls are so ugly, bro. What's happening?
NHB is lost. Did NHB not PyDAR?
I haven't been watching NHB admittedly, so I don't know if he didn't PyDAR, but he was out of the Bastion so fast.
Has caught up some time is now in the lead
We'll have to see if he continues that to the blaze spawner on two hearts
This is crazy five birds in the fortress first after that insane fuck up one blaze hit could be never punished one weather
Skeleton hit could be enough to take him out, but it looks like he's okay
He's gonna be sitting out here. Oh my god, NHB found it as well. He's so lit one blaze
Yeah, a ray a stray spawn fucks up his whole week
That's good to know I didn't know that you could Tom's right crap
Ten seconds. Whoa
There's no way this is worth it. There's no way this is worth it. It is so much
time. He should just be pre-crafting. Okay, you know what? He did get this one.
Okay, maybe it's worth if you get three
I think Feinberg over values straight
But I guess it's one of the few things that you can do differently than your opponent in the nether
But I think he overvalues him looking pretty good for an HP. We're only down to three rotten flesh
We can't heal up honestly a ton more so that might come into play as we're gonna have to chuck a good
three four maybe five pearls to get to courts here and
taking some damage here. He's got two hearts. He has three
flesh by the way and this is good for us. Three flesh is
really bad. I'm trying to get two flesh. Oh, Elblaze rods and
Elblazes looks like. Oh, good spawn though. You see and he
should be handling the blaze as well but I mean it's just so
Wow, the spawn rates are atrocious
Fine birds at four is on five and a half with four rods
So this blaze water has proven to be oh my god. He's getting fucking owned
Destroyed pre-craft road just pre-craft pre-craft
Go build your portal go go go go go cal. I'm here. So I'm gonna blind now get that measurement the rates are atrocious
It's true getting making sure the inventory is good. I mean now the straight call actually worked out right because
There's literally nothing NHB is doing. He's not overlapping the spawns with any pre crafts with any nether portal building
Like he's doing nothing. I'm her gets the measurement. Oh, he did lower his render distance. He did get some spawns here
We're strange. So he kind of being some strays. Oh my god. Why is he hitting around the zombie pigs?
So this is just gonna be okay. He hit six. He should be done
You should be out. It's gonna be really bad because he has a pearl. Hey fine birds out soonish
But I think you might need to wait one more spawn cycle or find a straight
This is punishing. Yeah fine bird has to go find a stray right now
Wait, oh a pearl bro
I didn't realize that there was a pearl break. Hey fine bird could be out if he gets to here now
It's going to there's one these blazes and should be also on
Let's see. I think this place might be different though. Yeah. Yeah, he's out
Oh, he's out.
Wow, that worked out for Feinberg.
But look at NHB, he can't do anything.
He's in half a heart.
Oh!
Oh, enemy!
We ran out of pyres.
I mean, it was such a bad position anyway.
So he was on half a heart, like bridging over love.
It's just so awkward.
I think Feinberg has managed his health way better than NHB
here in this seed.
Oh, it's GG.
Entering the stronghold.
NHB just had to fully reset the seed.
And so unless we have a faster, like, the silver infume run,
Even if we have that level of disaster, I still don't think it'd be enough time for an HB to catch up, but if Feinberg dies
The only way Feinberg loses this is you know, he's only on two and a half hearts
I think this is the portal is if I do something about it and turn into the wrong hole here
Or and send the B-52 and this should just be a fine bird thing. He has plenty
Let's not assume it's a fine bird wing rep graph. We any zero
Is it front dragon is it back dragon?
It's front. So this is just an even better situation here. This is
Lightwork, this is an easy this is an easy zero and there's no way he can fly up one of two right match here
He has a bow should be one of zero fine very as long as he does not choke this zero looking great so far
Three plus two and gets the three plus two. Yeah, I guess three plus three if you want to count the last
cosmetic bed there
But good stuff from fiber getting a sub 10 and damn
The death ended up I think he would have won regardless. I mean because
NHB's health was so low
He was gonna navigate to the stronghold so slowly like he was literally fucking boating through lava, but it start
But not so nervous in an end for him move on from that seed and realize, you know, it was a mistake
got to move on. Think about the next seed, not thinking the past. Goldfish memory and
NHB can easily come back and take Feinberg out of this season 10 playoffs.
He's traveling to Cords though. Yeah, but he's traveling to Cords really, really, really,
really slowly. And Feinberg had enough health to curl.
You're not even getting outpaced. It's just a mistake on your own. It's a different kind
of mental fortitude to like ignore that, you know, I think, um,
and it looked really good last week.
I think it will totally be able to.
And my prediction, I think it's next match.
And he will enter the end first and is going to take one match.
Okay.
That's, that's, no, I think that's, that's a good, that's exciting.
I like to hear it.
I like the back and forth always Parker, you know, me, I'm, I, I'm always
rooting for, I'm always rooting for.
Crazy Fiber got to the 4th 17 seconds faster when he made such a massive mistake.
Well, yeah, NHB just couldn't find the 4th.
I think NHB didn't PyDAR, which, like,
I don't think there's a reason for a pro player to not PyDAR or not Glodar,
because you can overlap it.
He did. Okay, he just fucked it up, I guess.
He fucked it up. Then I won't finish that thought.
I will say, I don't think there's ever, I mean, I guess out of CPU.
So that's also a good reason he did.
But I think the four was diagonal understood, understood no fear.
Fort was a weird direction.
Dude, you're in the fucking tournament.
Stop talking to me.
Stop talking to me, bro.
You're in the event.
This is helping me ice man.
Oh my God.
I'm it's stressing me out. It's stressing me out that he talks to me
Because I don't want to have an impact on the outcome
And if you happen to see a clip of me saying I want you shot dead in the streets, that's made by AI
Let's focus on the match at hand y'all
Ruin portal oh hubba bubba
Parker's camera quality is so nice. No, he just has flawless skin. Don't be fooled
Hold up by the way by the way
By the way five to five in the rainbow six seed tournament
Shopify one two straight
those hopes need to keep that pressure on and keep these underdog you stop
watching you're gonna win this round right now check it out
B9 just gonna be popping the shield at the top of those cash there's gonna win it
right now no one cares about rainbow six feet
I'm before your number
if they're not careful might all follow these red stairs to lining up for P9
Lining up for a show sir with a direct feed on one still has two more to come through
Both blackbeard and deimos fall and so point adding another angle
I'm ready for it
The serve no confident. Yes, but hip-fire will get the job done. Yes
The other team run straight into the rebellion with a C4 from below map point falls on sir
Wait, why is map point versus 6 the game when it was first 8?
Hold up, I have to finish this.
So much utility, so much time, but information on sir,
bulletproof camera, and a mirror window,
staring out in front, in back, you'll attempt to cross.
Taking refuge behind the bed,
and that gives Jaylen his opening.
Swing to room portal.
One more, okay.
Six to-
So it's not over, okay.
For a second.
Both runners down.
Room portal!
Okay, we have two gapples.
Which is good from the healing perspective,
but it is not-
Iron wait, we have an iron pick. Oh, this is a fast one. This is gonna be a very fast seed
Is that a fortune sword no way right looking for the bastion as we see NHB does get out of this little cave a
little bit
Fortune oh my god
I
Fell into the law a little bit unfortunate, but NHP looking really good here had a much better
completion getting into the nether and the
Smart Lava Tech it slows your drops you take less fall damage. Do you ever debate getting another hogland?
Yeah, yeah, no, like oh, he sees it. He sees it. This is a disgusting see by the way
You want to match this a genuinely disgusting see
Fine bird drops both gapples having to eat the second a gap. Oh, so that's unfortunate
But then also I mean this terrain is just horrendous. He's also just a block too low
He should be a block higher housing, but I mean it's he's a block higher
He would be able to having to dig without having to build out the floor while under a block now finally able to
to stand up.
Fineberg still seems like he's going to get there first.
Oh, he thinks he can make that.
He can.
Fineberg gets the bastion first,
but I don't know if it's the right part.
Probably some different routes here.
Fineberg in the lower section of the housing.
Are we going for a manhunt?
And HB up top, going to be doing a top down set up here.
So, manhunt versus top down.
From the two runners just approach the terrain
entirely differently.
And so we'll have to see if that.
Ouchies, dude.
He's taking, he drops his sword
because he doesn't need it.
Five parts of damage though.
HB too though.
Look at that.
I can't even take full damage. He has the two golden apples though. Yeah, he has to double eat
I mean he eats both of them. That's a mistake. No, which I'm not sure
Why would you correct play? Why would you every both immediately? That's really good regen
But the golden apples do just give you the regen effect. So I'm not sure either way
That seems like a mistake that there's no way that's the right call bad for fine bird
I mean taking lava damage in the nether is just so bad you take extra tips
As opposed to like when you're in the overworld, it's just very punishing and even though this is a relatively fast seed, a ruined portal into a housing, it's still going to be really awkward.
This is a very close seed right now. They both lost their gapples. There's not a huge advantage either way.
If you're in Fine Burks position, maybe not NHB. He might have it.
Yeah, it's going to be tough. It's going to be tough, but like both runners taking a lot of damage here. Fine Burks taking more damage, in fact.
Did they have any food? No, right? They're just dead ass out of food.
looking for the four HB's in the lead then right if you just he just can pearl
aggressively he just has seven more hearts direction oh he also looted the
triple at the top but I think it's fine fine because of a fucked up of
shittiest three more so wouldn't be surprised if we see an anchor reset from
Feinberg soon here all right he can leave again what is he waiting for what is he
waiting for the bastion is 23 obby 29 pearls five explosives I guess you might
want more explosives especially if he's gonna angry said what's going on there
whole fire race I think he left the hole somewhere I mean fine
brick has the same amount of obsidian I think fine break left the hole somewhere
I'm not gonna lie explosives no fire as is what a punishing nerdy you're totally
right. I don't know. He's going for backups. If you lose trade is this whole not sealed
correctly. It's the gold from the triple. Now with the spawner. Does that make sense
though? Very important. Unless you got fire as in the very last trade. Finebird needs
more string from somewhere. I think I think it's you have lost some trades. I think he
lost trades, bro. His inventory is too clean. Somewhere down in the trading pit. I don't
Maybe I'm wrong and I mean that is
That is unfortunate
Because
Like he has to have missed trades from some dude he must have missed
Just a pearl hang it's going into lava so he needs a fire as here, but he probably should get it
He's trained on it extra there. There's some there's some fire as one we get these
to
To fire as
All right, I mean, this is this is gonna be GG. This is oh
You're fine. I think you have enough on me. This is an HBC to lose
NHB's at four rods already blaze bedded about to get his calc off. I mean meanwhile
I fucks up with his mouth now. This is looking good for him
So that's actually kind of a bad thing because I just second one breaks. I don't think it breaks a third one
Maybe not used to it, but this is looking to be a close stronghold
Still no break. So he kind of got away with that
Hungry set anywhere on the second can't break can third break losing a little bit of time there and an explosive and
This is just looking so promising for an HB here. Just commandingly in the lead
Yeah, so I mean it ultimately
going to
Be a huge difference maker. I mean not getting into fire as we're fiber pulling back a lot on this seed
I'm yeah
I'm really curious to watch that one back and see exactly what we missed and what what gave NHB the advantage there because I
reason you type when you want to craft
Maybe there were some gold blocks in the top-down chests like that. That's that's a possibility. That's a possibility
I'm just like I'm trying to think of what it could have been. It's so such a bizarre situation
situation
To see sorry, I forgot there were
Larpers in shats while I thought I was surrounded by all knowers
Fimberg cannot go a few seconds without taking damage HB so
Should be it's a it's a sizable lead here at this point for NHB with
You know plenty of health to do you know the hunger recent again. It could be a little awkward
Yeah, I mean NHB has to I mean look he did choke his year of a four
I'm gonna get a hunger reset before getting into the portal room, but we'll have to see he died
Has to offer for us. Oh, I just didn't show the zero. Sorry. That was on NHB
Fineberg has he died getting to the stronghold so he would need to choke his year out to lose this yeah
Not looking good for fine bird fans, but maybe he doesn't even go for zero
He doesn't know hunger reset hunger reset. It's kind of surprised fineberg didn't hunger reset here
Or the one to the right it could be bad decides not to commit to it. Maybe here cuz you have four hearts, bro
What are we doing?
Okay, yeah, he early hunger reset
Fine break at one and a half hearts had to deal with that
But now just gonna be looking down maybe down further this direction is that the L nav
here
Further
Finds it finds it finds it can it's here goes in cuz he
You're ready. So now I'm going to be enter open and here just a little I can't tell where the dragon is
I don't have eyes like that nothing to worry about. Oh, it's like one and a front
Be it going for the front one in eight set up. Let's see if he can do it gonna go to 91. Kind of a weird one
Yeah, maybe gonna go even a little bit higher. I mean, this is awkward
We have to use soul sand here a little bit of stuttering
But to the setup plenty fine. We have a bow. We have arrows more explosives and vine bird good enough damage
almost a 2 plus 2 even nerdy. It's very clean zero cycle. GG. Tying it up one to one.
Love this game. Very good zero from NHB. Feinberg is struggling a little bit. Feinberg is out.
But it won't matter because NHB is going to take game number two and-
Matched by NHB. Game two goes down a game. Now it's one to one.
Sweeps are happening in this quarterfinals match. So I'm excited to see where we go from here
Let's take a look at the splits. We see I mean it came down to the Bastion there
I mean, there's not much to analyze. Yeah, I want to say I mean, I guess like I'm seeing that maybe Feinberg saved 20 seconds
Or yeah, I saved 20 seconds. I mean, that's significant though
Hungry as hell. I might low key make myself a bagel sandwich HB, but I just have no clue what even happened in the Bastion
I
Really do want to watch this back. I am very very curious what I mean that's you just fucking disgust me
I'm not gonna lie
That is like a seed that I would be like I would literally be saying the most horrendous things about Oliver
Like you have to fucking bridge over a lava ocean to get to the bash of the bashing is like so far away
From the nether spawn the trades were atrocious
There's like not a single fire as until 40 gold in like either way one to I would never forgive all of her for that
Seed great start to the series. You love to see the back and forth. All right Parker. All right. All right
Seed pics. I'm gonna make my sandwich in the game three. What is our next?
You got you
I mean, yeah, I think it just makes sense to go with the village
I just feel such stereotypical like seed pics, but I think if you're fine bird
I don't think he's gonna be going for anything crazy. I don't like the idea of maybe like a low idea of food on shipwrecks
But if I'm picking one I'm picking village
Okay, okay. I think that's a good guess. I think I was gonna guess that as well
So we'll have to see I have not spoiled myself this time. So well, I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna react with everybody else this time
And we've got a bill. Oh, was that it was a bill is
was so not a village
But not a village. Maybe it's like a snowy village. Maybe that's where it's implying. Are there any snowy villages in the filter these days?
I know we've had some changes. I think there still are, but I don't know if we'd see any in the playoffs.
We'll see. We'll see. I would love to see more snowy villages, more cool smiths, more weird seeds.
Those are, I feel like yeah, my favorite seeds are either the really really fast seeds or the really really slow seeds.
You know, I always say that. Yeah, right. I feel like those are the most exciting to watch. The ones that are kind of, you know, like a
a sub sub 10 is like, oh, okay, it's cool. But um, yeah, but I would love to see some
some really fast seeds or some some like like 15 minutes see we got earlier today. That
was that was easily my favorite thing. That was a fun watch. That was a fun watch. I think
my favorites are the seeds or where runners take two completely different decisions and
still end up being on the same pace. Ooh, okay, okay. Yeah, no, I can see that. I feel
I feel like that is always interesting when that does happen.
I mean, the game is linear a lot of times,
but obviously, on a seed like a village,
there are lots of different ways to play them sometimes.
So I would love to see some different decisions this seeded.
There's some possibilities for that.
We'll get into the game shortly here.
We've waiting a second or two, but it's
going to be an exciting one.
Fineberg, so far, everyone has won their pick.
So maybe Fionnberg's gonna take the win here.
That's gonna be my prediction.
I'm gonna say Fionnberg's gonna win the village.
It's gonna be two to one.
We're gonna get in a Keisha village finally Parker.
What about you?
What do you think?
Oh, a Keisha.
I think that makes sense.
I'll go with you to be a Keisha.
I'm a fan.
Orange is a good color.
Hot bio, maybe more lava pools.
I think it's a respectful pick.
And I think I'll also go with you
on Fionnberg's taking the seed.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Yeah, so we'll have to see what exactly happens.
Yeah, I mean, that last seed really came down.
Like I feel like the first seed
was the big mistake from NHP.
The second seed was a bit of a mystery to us.
It could have been a mistake,
a big mistake from Feinberg,
but in either case,
Feinberg got very heavily punished for whatever happened
to not get enough fire res there.
But now we do see,
oh, immediately!
Right off the bat,
Rune Portal,
Rune is going totally different directions.
And there is a Gaple,
one abbey and also two iron from the chest there.
So that's interesting.
Now I think Fiberik doesn't need to kill the Golem, right?
Because it's iron pick plus two iron.
So Fiberik can totally skip the Golem here
while NHB is not going to go for that at all.
So this is a very interesting decision,
early on from Fiberik that could have a big impact
on the seed.
We'll have to see NHB is going to have to go all the way back
and kill the Golem or maybe is going to hit the room portal
after this before going to the Golem.
It's gonna be interesting to see how
NHB approaches this, but obviously we know that,
Fiberk knows he doesn't need to kill the Golem,
where it's unsure for NHB if he goes for the Rune Portal next.
So if he's interested in a call.
I mean, there's a little bit of call with NHB being able to,
like, you could make Shears here if you're killing the Golem,
but he doesn't give a fuck at Nerdy.
Does he think that this Rune Portal's part of the completion?
Oh, I think it's guaranteed to give two.
It might just be guaranteed to give two.
That might be, that might be what we've got.
Oh, it might be.
Knowledge that I'm not aware of.
This is why NHB is one of the top runners.
That makes a lot of sense.
Yeah, I spaced on that for a moment,
but in either case, we now have NHB
getting the water and Feinberg.
Actually, they took totally different paths,
but they actually are in very similar positions now.
They both got the blacksmith,
they both skipped the golem,
they're both mining trees,
and we see Feinberg gonna go for this flint right here,
whereas NHB is also gonna go for that,
but taking slightly less,
like has to kind of circle back in a slightly slower way,
meaning that Fyberg is going to beat NHB on this overworld.
So the village pick paying off for him
as we are now building the portal
and waiting for NHB to arrive at the lava pool here.
Ooh, drops the Flint Steel,
a little bit of a micro mistake there.
Now, we see Fineberg entering the Nether,
and let's see what this Nether has in store for us.
We've got a treasure of action.
And right off the rip here, yeah.
I mean, I don't know if Fineberg does Glodar.
I'm pretty sure NHB does Glodar,
and we've seen this matter a ton.
Fineberg, a huge fan of just playing Quadrants
and general game knowledge of where he should go.
But also there's some tech, we're using chunk borders,
where you can figure out what side of the treasure
you need to go to.
Looks like Feinberg having a bit of difficulty doing that.
I kind of like NHB's play going into the treasure more here.
We're gonna be able to get to these starting two gold blocks
the same time as Feinberg,
even though we're so much slower into the overall.
And look at this nerdy,
as he's mining these starting gold blocks,
he's raising them.
But wearing the render distance,
this is because NHB is going to be doing gloat art.
Hits a pig though, hits a pig.
Oh wow, there's one more instead.
Wow, our second death from NHB.
series, unfortunately, and that is going to give Feinberg a massive lead, and unfortunately,
it's also, he will find that out soon, probably, and be able to play safe according to that.
So that is an unfortunate, basically-
I mean, the run back is kind of-
It's like, this might not be the worst run back.
I was going to say, I was going to say a three minute time loss, but no, if NHB can get back,
there's stuff in time.
It could be closer than that.
Feinberg, Camille-
And if you get the, like, crying of city and chess, like, early on, maybe you, like, are
aware that Feinberg likes to meta game and so you try to get an advancement early on he's got
obsidian i guess you get that from the rune fortress like this is not the end of the world
this is a very good run back he he's maybe only lost 20 or 30 seconds here
and he's doing gloat arms so that's time he could make up Feinberg doing this is very true
very true and is going to be mining the gold the rest of the remaining gold blocks here
So a a definitely a lead for Feinberg, but as you mentioned the glowdar could end up having an impact on this
Let's say it seemed like a I don't know. I like this this treasure is like totally enclosed
So you definitely don't have the best way what happened what I miss on where the fortress could be
Which definitely why does it look like Feinberg is 45 seconds ahead of an HB?
Glowdar helping out and HB died that makes sense and Feinberg also with two beds
That makes a lot of sense
Ranks
I kind of like this, you know feinberg combating the gloat our new strats with just breaking the spawner and because he's so far ahead
Hold on to be clear
He's combating the bloat our strats by being slow as fuck. Let's be totally honest for a second. He's not combating shit
He's willfully going slower on treasure seeds where you can't see the fortress because he won't spend a fucking hour
learning to blow down. I mean, he's the richest minecraft speedrunner there is for a crap like
He could afford a CPU and a GPU to be able to blow out no problem
The fortress now going to be turning the render distance down maybe get a few strays. What is bloater?
I don't know. We're gonna see any speed try it. Has it been bloatarring?
So going to be able to grab it was oh my wow
Look at the straight
Duplicating nerdy
This is insane we have this fucking insane
The luckiest minecraft speeder under there is and the skeletons are taken out by the goddamn blazes
He doesn't even have to do any work. Oh my god, he got double hit brother. You're losing to one blaze
Yeah, the rates are great and HP is there and at the spawn over the same time as fine bird
Yeah, yeah, not have the same straight
It's insane as when did that HP die?
Did he die in the overworld or did he die instantly in the nether or something smart heads up play from fine to be able to get
Fineberg increasing his render distance that way he doesn't have to deal with more mobs realizes that the spawner is probably enough
Die during the Bastion round so great job getting back in the game. It's by taking that down fine
Bird has a lead, but it's like a 30 second lead
So fine burger somehow lost like a minute 30 here
Just getting right back into this one making it a lot closer now
I will say the rates are really really really bad
Yeah, all of the rods for Feinberg so Feinberg should be able to oh it was a run back not a reset
For some reason I just I had assumed a reset bad assumption by me
Let's see how close the stronghold is so
This is not really close to be honest
Sorry, it's not as close even though they're both counting at the same time. It's just almost girls. It's not
As you would think because Feinberg has killed six more Blazes and he can just leave now.
And six Blazes is at least two small cycles.
He did get four, but I don't think he's going to be able to leave on these four.
Yeah, he's not going to be able to leave here.
So now it's just a matter of how long it takes for his next small cycle.
And he'll definitely be able to leave on, uh-oh, Feinberg.
Lava one. No, he saw his one left. So probably want to save this last gold pick
So now he can leave you can hit some harder zero cycles and HP finally
So it really comes down to a bit of math here, but I don't think Feinberg did it poorly
He had gold picks that lead playing consistently and is gonna be El portal build really El portal build
Great job handling the seed. I'm taking advantage of that Lee. All right 801
Just just above eight minutes. He enters the stronghold. He has a decent spike top, right?
That's what he's thinking.
He's looking around.
She's a library.
He's not sure if he wants to go on it.
Still eyeing it.
He says, OK, maybe not.
Fuck this.
I'm going to go center ish finds it.
Wow, wow, wow.
The porter room for Feinberg.
So Feinberg could take a two and an HB is digging.
If he hits the zero word down, I can't tell.
Honestly, it looks like forward.
Yeah, or down to see that as a runner.
And it is another front one.
Oh, my God.
Fineberg has the opportunity the close front one and eight is the exact zero that NHB hit last run
And now does fineberg has no reason to fail this
He has a bow does he have arrows to pause for just a second to make sure the dragons he does
It's going for a three plus two this zero the first two beds. Does he hit he sent? Yes, he does
game three to finebird
a three plus two
Not too far behind
I mean I like seeing Feinberg switch from the net I don't think he's that close to be honest
It's like a 916 like NHB. It's like a 30 second difference, right? Like how long does this zero take?
I don't know. I'm not super convincing one for five 20 five seconds 30 seconds
Yeah, so so far Feinberg is just one. I was like more that NHB is that right? But NHB, I mean
Honestly, I'm just very impressed.
I feel like NHB did a really good job.
I mean, only 38 seconds behind entering the four
after that death.
Like I feel like that's a really good recovery from NHB.
50 seconds, I see.
So that's definitely impressed.
Oh, I guess we'll enter the Bastion a little bit earlier,
but at a different part, it gets a little complicated.
Sometimes the splits are a bit misleading.
But in your case, it seems to me like NHB doesn't take deaths.
And it's,
And five words winning any game that HP is not dying. It's my conclusion. That's right the other way around five
words way only winning the games where NHB is dying
So I would love to see a game where NHB doesn't die it's close
And maybe we sit and even set it to a game five if I may ask for that from the
Yeah, can we can we get another one that would be cool. I'm liking how this is shaping up though
I
Think you're totally right. I want to see NHB have a clean match no deaths here
It was an impressive run back, but just not enough to fully recover from and
I'm very curious about this. We've got a full analysis. So definitely gonna see exactly what happened
What went wrong for follow me at all W maybe what led to the deaths for NHB or some other pivotal things?
It could have influenced what happened follow take it away
Cool
so my question is
the last quarter final of our
brackets. It is Feinberg versus
NHB. And let me take you all
the way back to seed number one
where we have one very
monumental thing that happened
within this seed, and that was
the death of NHB. Let us talk
quickly. Just just let me remind
you exactly what happened here.
Let me remind you exactly what happened here.
A pile thrown, three HP, 130 blocks of travel
within the Nether lands in lava.
Problem, as we can see, the flashing fire resistance sign
in the top right here shows that you have less than 10 seconds.
I guess that's what I'm gonna hear about
if you want to say anything.
That's, I apologize for that.
It shows that you have less than that 10 seconds of time.
Left on your fire resistance potion.
And you can see it just starts to flash
as soon as he enters.
This lava tries to use the boat
to get out strategically due to the fact that he in fact doesn't have any fire as left now you might want to ask why does he not have fire as left notice the time 804 and notice this next clip when he's clearing his inventory as you guys might remember there
was 21 blazes killed in this seed and in MCSR ranked, once you've killed the 20th blaze,
every single blaze drops a rod, meaning that they went 20 blazes without getting enough
rods and by that point you end up guaranteeing yourself a drop every single time. But before
that at 5.10 was the last time that we used a fire resistance potion and notice what happened
We have a bunch of fire resistance in our inventory loads and loads of fire resistance
Everything's very comfortable for an HP problem arises when we're clearing our inventory to set up for those pre crafts
Let's see what happens
boom boom and
Let's throw one more that gives us just one fire resistance potion remaining in our inventory and
by the time we get back
it's not
We do not have the time to
I don't know what to do to throw
it. I believe it might have
even been thrown on the return
through of the blind spores. I
don't actually have a clip of
that. I do apologize. Um,
however, it's been not able to
survive that seed. Obviously in
the lava. Not very much that he
could do. So the rough and
now this is no fire resumes.
Not about C number where the
question was yet again about
fire as the cast is asking
viscerally what happened to the
fire as for fine bird made that
try and get them. Now the thing that you want to notice here is at the top of the bastion as
NHB goes for the kind of FSG style using the the gold axe to break all of these chests,
a lot of gold was picked up from these and even though we get very very good aggro's here,
notice as he runs down there's no connection of the second dribble losing him a lot of
Pigs for his trading home.
Pigs one hit here tries to force breaking this basalt block to allow the pigs to come down.
It's slightly less necessary than dying though. So we need to, uh, then surviving even I should
say and he does take some time to survive in a perfectly paused frame here with three
gold blocks and seven ingots from the chest above. This allows him to trade an extra,
Um, 34 gold than Feinberg requiring fine to go and get the backup blocks as you would have seen
towards the back half of that seed when the inventory tracker showed up, it ended up being
Feinberg, it traded 124 gold and NHB trading just a hundred and a hundred and twenty two,
meaning that without getting the backups, NHB traded the exact same number of gold as Feinberg
understood. It really made all of the difference. Why do all the commentaries have the same
down versus the manhunt route. And this is why NHB was able to leave earlier, finishing
those. I don't think it's a bussing cut. I think they just probably don't get their
haircut a lot. Obviously, in that third seed, we did see Feinberg. I just think Nerdy and
Follum are guys who get their haircut a lot. Two to one. Who is going to submit their place?
I don't think it's a bussing cut. Tomorrow, I know you guys are thinking it's zoom or
bussing cut, but I don't think that's it. I think it's just their hairstyle and they
don't get to cut a lot. Welcome back, everyone. I think reqrap has the bussing cut. Two to
one favoring fine bird, but I wouldn't say nerdy has the busting that I think he's just
curly hair. That's kind of long. It's feeling like a good match. Um, but more importantly,
I want to know how the, how these runners are feeling and he's, we've taken two deaths
here. I think if he, guys, stop watching Shopify, those little deaths, I think he's got a really
good shot at still winning this, uh, like matchup even though he's behind here. So that's
sort of what I'm looking forward to 100% I mean I kind of want to see us go to a
game five okay but before we go to the seed picks what are your predictions
what do you think NHB is picking after that? Oh shoot it's NHB oh I don't have
very good readings on this one. Feinberg chat what do you think is gonna happen?
Feinberg wins or NHB takes you to game five? This is like the least confident I've
Ben, but I'll say DT. Wow, any nails it.
I mean, you are four from four, man.
Look at you. Look at you.
Go Parker. Oh my goodness.
Wow. Very impressive stuff.
Yeah, I mean, I think it makes sense, seeming to prefer some of those more
linear, straightforward seeds, the faster seeds, arguably,
less decisions to be made, more speed to be had.
And yeah, I mean, I would love to see NHB win this one because of that
and take us to a game five, but it is currently match point 214
Feinberg. I think we'll get into the check call.
Feinberg in the middle of the match, but, um, but yeah, do you have any thoughts on that
on that BT pick any, any more to your prediction?
Just call them and say, Hey, Devin, and I'll undefinite when I have some advice.
I think it's kind of just like what's what's left.
I like the idea of having a little bit higher quality if you're NHB,
especially having taken some deaths during this matchup.
So I think that's probably why he's thinking this.
Um, but you know, we could have some awkward ravines.
I mean, that's like really one of the biggest problems with DTS is just if you go the wrong
way for a ravine, that that can just be the entire true.
The ravine is the dumbest fucking thing in Minecraft.
Hopefully not.
Yeah, we'll have to find out shortly.
Yeah.
It is always a little bit unfortunate.
Yeah, I feel like it is looking at these, these wins.
I feel like these have been like sort of tilting games from the loser's perspective, you know,
HB dying love in the first seed and fiber getting kind of unlucky or maybe just sending the wrong route
to me how you want to look at on that second seed
And
NHB, you know taking a death doing a good job to cut recover from the death, but still not able to quite win
So hopefully these runners are locked and ready to go as we get into this BT
My right immediately from both runners and they are off seeds are
They're both going to take a bit of damage here, I think, from drowning while awesome
amount of iron, decent amount of food, good amount of gold.
would be Feinberg's best playoff performance, I think, right? If you were to win this, I
don't think he's ever made it to early sheers craft from NHB, but now last day. So I guess
it kind of worked out for Feinberg not to do that. I mean, now we're going to get the
crafts in an iron doors for both. It would be tied best. Heard bird shift as Feinberg
now mining this tree here. We see Feinberg or excuse me, NHB not going for these sort
deeper trees towards the forest instead choosing to be closer to the shore mining out some flints.
So very interesting to see that. We see Feinberg now a few times. He got to sevens in season six.
Bird chef. That we just saw NHB get and NHB now off time. Why is NHB out so much faster?
I read chat for two seconds. But that is fake. No, that looks real. And we see Feinberg,
I think, finding something similar. Yeah, this is the same same review.
So. Interesting. There's like
three ravines here. NHB decides
to go to the furthest left one.
Feinberg also. So, maybe the
other ones are looking a little
bit more blocks from NHB.
Classic Feinberg. The line we
need. If NHB loses this, he's
out of the tournament. This seed,
this play style, the amount of
resources, his mechanics. Where's
the bastion? That's the
question is just ahead here. I'm
really like the situation for
Yeah, bimberg has a little bit of time.
It's hard to exactly tell sometimes.
I feel like terrain now is this sort of like mystical thing to me sometimes, right?
Like I feel like I blink sometimes and someone has caught up time or has gained a lead or something like that.
So I'm always I'm always trying to like really focus in on these moments to not miss anything.
But it looks like bimberg is going to be bridging out.
Yeah, yeah, like bridging out NHB going up to the right here.
It's always the balance of like bridging is obviously slower, but it's hard to calculate.
Like is he going in high or is he going in low?
It's very close it's very close. It's like a two second difference right now
Wow putting the pigs down there is kind of smart those is housing, right?
Yeah, and he's got his pigs down there basically on the same page here, I think is that a gas
Wow, I think there must have been a gas
I couldn't hear so I just don't know
But we do have Feinberg now and NHB basically. I mean they're mine
Yes, it's neck and neck. I think Feinberg actually got a slight lead. Looks like actually did get because that gas
Yeah, so yeah, just the top ramp part of the Bastion just having so much gold
for in every seed that we've seen with the housing
This is so close. I mean, I mean the lead is so moot bro. The lead is irrelevant. This is really gonna come down to
the rest of the run look at these runners mining the same
Yeah, I'm stressful. You'd love to see it because I mean we have seen some some deaths we have seen some
Okay, get your trades a lot of pearls
Lot of good trades already, okay, he's gonna pie dar unless he knows where the Ford is
I don't know if they saw it and both clean up the inventory of it. They're doing the same fucking thing though
They're cleaning their inventory. They're putting their shit down. It looks like they know where the Ford is
He's already setting a pearl hang that pearl hangs in the little weird
Oh, we see NHB is gonna hit the side of these items here. I don't think we saw a pearl hang from an HB
I'm seeing 48 is that what oh now we have 22 pearls. How many obby 21 obby to fire as I mean, let's go
No pearls. I mean, I think I would expect NHB to be leaving there. We go
Feinberg grabbing extra obby
Kind of unnecessary. I'm not sure if I'm Rick saw this
Okay, yeah, so they're both out there both out. There we go now. It's the pearl hang on
HB leaves a little earlier fine bird decides to stay to look at the chest. I don't know what he wanted from the chest
Yeah, I mean the blaze spawners are I feel like that was oh arrows does NHP have no arrows
Dude, they should put arrows as one of the items. Oh my god. I'm lucky fine bird straight. This is not worth it
Just go to a spawner, bro. There's no way it is worth it to get this one a similar amount on fine birds
And but he is just a couple seconds behind just a little bit slow. I mean, he's got he's killed a few strays
I don't know if we've had NHB kill many as many strays for sure not. Do you know where the spawner is?
Feels like he's not close
Okay, NHB's at the spawner
Limberg's building up to the spawner
Wow, it's really good rates though
So great stuff from NHB started to take a more significantly as the seed progresses
I'm trying to stay in this one
Where's NHB's tournament life on the line? So five rods and he should just get his last two here
He's not hitting the fucking six right. He's out. He would like to stay it doesn't break
now is this fine oh this is slow though oh this is gonna be so much faster for
Feinberg cuz he doesn't do jive into the ocean that's lucky it's very very
close here as look at this this is gonna save him like five seconds at least to be
that as we've seen from the start huge time save any precrafted already
Yeah, I mean it's close but it's linear and I think just this just over and over all these decisions that the quick the quick
Rates that the easy bastard. I think this is all I need to see NHB's inventory
I don't know if he has arrows. I feel like that might be the game the cider
I need to see him press E. I need to just hone in maybe fine bird get arrows
Yeah, he did he has 16 so how many arrows does NHB have on course? I mean he broke the three chests up top
He should a difficult nav here if you want
Oh my god, he misplaced!
He should be fine.
He should be fine, but he's gonna lose time on that.
Feinberg takes the lead on the misplaced Obby.
Weird spikes, weird spikes.
The spikes too big.
They go different ways.
Feinberg goes back right, or excuse me, Feinberg goes back left.
And HP goes back right.
Feinberg gives up on this way.
Oh my god, the nav is stressful.
The nav is stressful the stress is stress
Secret it's secret it's secret five birds going the wrong way. It's GG five birds going the wrong way
Okay, he finds it hunger reset gonna have to go for this zero fiber now
HB has heard though the portal room as well. He did eat but if any he should be fine that was a little crazy though
What what's that?
94 okay, okay, can NHB close the seat? Oh, it could fly here. He doesn't know beds or no arrows though
No, not top set up for fine bird either.
It's okay.
And I mean, it's supposed to be who we have here.
Do we have enough?
Let's see.
I don't know if we have enough.
I think the 2 plus 2 wins this maybe, no?
That's low for the pills.
It's swarming stuff.
Anchor.
No, 3 plus 2 was so close.
Oh my gosh.
He was so close.
The arrow would have mattered had he mapped a little better.
He could have been high enough.
And even though fine bird kills, it manages the height a little bit better.
That last anchor for me was legendary.
Yeah.
Yeah, and I came down to the stronghold.
It's 2-2.
It's like you were saying, you know,
the stronghold needs to be a little bit weird for NHB
to have the advantage.
And then if the misplace happened,
and the stronghold needs to be a little bit better.
I genuinely had no clue.
I thought it was the same stronghold.
But gets an 8-0-1, great 0 from him to take this,
to take us to a game 5 here with an 8-0-1 is very impressive.
You love to do that.
Damn, game 5.
It's all tied up. It all comes down to this fifth match partner.
Yes. And I'm all here for it.
This is why we show up and watch them.
We're we're having some really good matchups today.
Nerd. Dude, and this is not.
I'm not trying to complain.
This shit went long today.
We are.
We are to see some.
This is a seven hour day, bro.
This time, but.
I love seeing it when both people's turn in life is on the line.
That's what's so great about game five.
No rivals stream. There's still a rival stream. This shit just went way long
It's they're my favorite seats to commentate because the stakes are as high as they could be
But Parker, I mean it's it's been it's been good. I mean so far
The trend has been that the the player picking the seed has won the match
So what do you what do you think? I mean bombers gonna win this next match. I
Mean to be fair. Yeah, there was one extra match
Yeah, yeah, I think I think find burgol in this next match. Is this seat back? Okay. He's got the confidence behind it. I
Think so I think so
Okay, okay. No, I like I like the comp. I like the confidence
I'm gonna say
I'll just be I'll just be disagreeable. I guess I'm gonna say NHB is gonna win here
That's it. I'm gonna say it's gonna break the trend of the seed picker winning the seed
And yeah, I'm excited to see what we've got in store for us in for this final one
I don't know. I feel like
Ruin portal that makes sense. Yeah, he's not allowed to go back to desert
He's not allowed to go back to village
And I don't think he wants an ocean
It was fine, but it wasn't like the overall really determined it was really just
so maybe just not feeling like wanting to go to
You know not wanting to go to the shipwreck where there's lots of weirdness that can happen
I want to display potentially very quick and easy seed and see who can take
Down their opponent and your vision on third monitor. No man. No one watches your vision anymore
Rambo six siege dog
I'm so
Adjusting to it to the new commentator demos and we've been talking about five bricks so much. I almost just yeah
I almost slipped up, but I was able to catch myself there
as we wait here just a second I believe we'll get into the match shortly but
it's been it's been great so far I mean going to a game five you love to see at
the ruin portal pick I'm gonna say no looting yet I'm gonna stick by that
right I'm gonna say we are gonna get there and our fucking lead team's plan
and what's going on right now one enter with iron pick and maybe maybe like
House and in a gold axe to kill the cows. That's that's my that's that's my
Okay, that's respectful. I like it. We've already kind of had the bucket iron pick seed all say
Golden carrots no iron pick
That's what I'll say
Great stuff so completeable
Let's see what we're gonna put for emerald and MCSR and offer a long long time, bro
I got too much to do see what the chest has to offer
And a golden apple notch and a gap. Oh, it's a fucking awesome fast
When are you doing cool shit with Red Bull like any
So box race the golden apple
Right here, right surely you've got a kill thing. Yes
Both runs going for this.
Fineberg's in pass.
Fineberg's in a little bit faster.
NHB would be actually a four-chopper.
NHB does have three more pork chops.
That could matter.
That could be good for NHB.
Fineberg are going to be looking around.
Oh, and that does not look good for being as slow as C.
As we see the fortress right off to the left,
and presumably the bastion right here in front of us,
as I assume that's where the spike is.
Yeah, there it is.
There.
He's not the bastion?
I don't see it.
It's a little bit weird.
No, that's not probably.
Oh, it's below.
It's below.
Basically there yeah, well that was a Skellington moment. He's not going top-down. He's doing manhunt again
I mean it's gonna be so awkward if you have to go to the top chest
So hopefully we get up city in here. We do that is our five obsidian chest
We have to see your iron pick and the iron for the iron pick. That's huge. That was perfect
Not too much of a difference though. They're both doing the same thing
I will say NHB seems like there's more pigs
But a very very this seed could be very fast here Parker. I mean, we saw the fortress right there
It's a little awkward maybe to pearl out of this fashion
But other than that, I feel like the seed has the potential to be ridiculously fast
This seed is so fast getting the pigs into the trading hole. They know where the Ford is
They have so much food by virtue of the notch
At this point we see NHB mining those same bull blocks
I was just speaking about so just a few seconds behind for NHB
And it could be a sub seven. It could be a sub six. I don't think it's really gonna
I don't think by works ever some six right at least great trades
19 pearls already 13 obby to fire as nine explosives a lot of screen for being such a just missing obsidian
I'm kind of I didn't think Feinberg would be ahead. I mean, he's not ahead by a ton
But it's just a great pre-craft
No pre-crafts from NHB yet
There it is and if we get all of our obsidian
Two more obby and fortunately there's nothing to do but wait 19 obby nothing to do but wait
He's gonna go to center chest maybe
Oh, he finds it lucky. So now this is a this is a variance because NHB didn't go to the outside chest
He's going to the top chest and if there's no obvious then he's just fucked
He finds it, okay, so HP will catch up, but he lost a lot of health in the process
You're gonna have to use his notch as well
So much slower than Feinberg able to sort of go in the direction that he already wanted to now blade getting the double blades bit off
I mean this piece is absolutely ridiculous from Feinberg here, especially I mean we'll have to see exactly where we can go from here
Imagine I wish we I kind of sort of wish we had the looting sword here. That would have been even crazier
It would be insane
three-minute fortress here getting the rates are horrible down now and
NHB just a bit behind
Feinberg has eaten the notch at this point and so we're gonna see some
You see in place the portal and but some strange for HB
Plenty of wool this time. That should not be an issue whatsoever this seed explosives
Plenty of that helps them a bit because I don't think fine bird got many straights of any
Strays though and it's on a higher rock count than fine bird this second cycle really taking forever to go off here
Fine bird gets off some pre-craft, but it's like it's such useless time. You should just TP
But if the rates are good
Yeah, and HP is kind of ahead dude. That was some good strays
And he's been doing some really aggressive pearls here has an end of my chasing him down from this mountain gets back in
The distance a thousand that's pretty good. Okay. I mean this is yeah, that's NHB in his notch
He has he's a gap was still
Another spotter NHB is going to it throwing well hbs cranking right now
There's some strays that he's purling to but does not want to commit to them fully yet
Just kind of has to wait and then he's playing. Oh, no, he lost
And hb is just out and I think all of these always out. I thought he fell and it's just so punishing
I thought he genuinely fell he didn't fall he left
I thought he fucking fell I'm an idiot
Two apples to eat here and already so maybe oh my god. He hasn't eaten his knives. I mean, it's gonna be a five-minute stronghold
Yeah
There
Yeah, it's just
Oh my god, I think find where my lose
and
We'll have to see here and he's been looking around looks pretty good for NHP is that the portal room through this
Wow
Could be it is this it for NHP
Not yet
Bad enough by NHP. Please. No, there is no and he can just go he has so much HP
HB is so much help from there's like no way for any sweet a fuck this unless you just chokes from nerves
Oh, it's built in though. He has a gold fix
060 this is gonna be
Where's fineberg always trying to ocean have spawner maybe it was a zombie spawner taking him the wrong way
Are we gonna be able to hit this zero? I mean it's a zero is crazy. Well, he was so built in 60
You're gonna have to do universal sights. I mean, he has all of the health in the world
So he's probably fine, but if I fly
It flies though. He got that was some crazy
Did it fly because he fucked up or did it fly because it flew maybe gonna be a per trace here
Fineberg's gonna find it if he goes. I'm just has to get in to the right here
No, this might be our is this a third per trace of the day
Yeah, and fine. So fineberg is only here because he got lucky in a per trace against Loki in game five of their match
Really tough for him to win this event to see if he even goes to move on to day
of the final weekend
He needs to get lucky again
So it just doesn't matter
And if I find birds only going to 90 now. He's going 80s. He's going
It just it doesn't it's just a purchase and so you just need to be lucky if you find a
Did he just hit himself with an L?
Oh my god, it's literally like on a lock.
That's a perch! There's no way!
There's no fucking way!
The Netherite Booslazzi never fail. It's better to be lucky than good for a second time today.
Feinberg has stolen victory from his opponent.
Two game five perch races. Holy shit.
out of nowhere fine bird despite entering the end 42 seconds that is insane
can enter in the end on this best of that is fucking insane where it all matters and fine bird gets
the person takes the win moving on to tomorrow three to two fine bird in this in this match great stuff
i'm just a little bit speechless i thought it was over i thought it was over for the
with old commentator Feinberg, but he's going on to the final day of playoffs.
That is fucking crazy.
Feinberg wins and moves on.
That is actually insane.
Oh, my God.
So that means Feinberg, EdCR,
Aquacord and Infumi are our members
fighting tomorrow for a new winner of playoffs.
Guys, I have to go right away. This ran super super late, but I'm going to switch streams
To the rivals of ether 2 local that is happening right now
I'm still gonna stay live. I'll be back live again a walk tomorrow to watch a finale
But yeah, I gotta go I gotta go this ran quite late. Thank you all for watching though. I appreciate it
I'll see you tomorrow. I'm still live, so don't go anywhere.
We're watching the Riles of Ether 2 event.
I'm hoping to show up, but this ran so late that we'll see if I make it.
Let's see.
OK, all right. Thank you all.
I'm switching over right now.
It's going to hop over to Riles of Ether 2 gameplay.
If anyone in chat is confused, please let them know what's going on.
What up y'all welcome back to pit stop 2026. My name is Daniel J from down back club. I'm one of the TOs this event
Thanks for being here. Thanks tuning in joined by yin on the couch
Hey, it's a it's a vibe today out here in beautiful LA
Yeah, it's sick to have an event on here
You know it's been a long while since a so Cal had a lot like big events in the platform Friday scene and everything
So yeah, for sure. Yeah, this is something we've been trying to make happen for a while
It obviously came together pretty last minute
So we weren't able to get in as many out of counters as we'd like, but hopefully next time around.
You know, great turnout as it is for like mostly just SoCal.
And obviously, insanely high level play, so far today.
I mean, even just the SoCal players and everything, you got like St. Pat, you got Sly, you got Sophie.
But then you still have like players like Derai, which is, you know, given, did recently move from SoCal, if I'm not mistaken, right, to PNB.
but just the caliber of player that is here, so exciting to have.
Yep, for sure.
Alright, we are going to get into our final match of pool A.
Pool B is already running, but it's just like round one right now.
So we're going to finish off with this qualifier for top 16.
This is going to be C-Cuppie versus Dalek Ditto.
Yeah, you throw it over to Gameplay for us, Derek, if you will. Thank you so much.
We're going to be seeing the Orcane and the Pleat.
These two have played offline in two separate occasions.
It was a 2-0 and a 3-0 at full times for C-Cupy.
So thus far, despite the very few times that they have played,
it is definitely gone over in C-Cupy's favor.
So it'll be a little bit interesting
to see if Dalek the Dope can go ahead and figure out
some things that has been sent since December.
So it has been closing in on that five month range
since they played another thing.
Should be interesting to see how they do.
This is two different characters that have really become the talk of the town lately, whether it's Orcane, who, you know, if you're listening to Beasley, Zeke, whatever, this character is kind of insane, right?
We have some phenomenal ground play with the down tilts, with the F tilts, the grabs, and everything, where you can really rely on some gruesome tech chasing and everything.
On the other hand, of course, Fleet, whether you are wanting to play at more of a distance, like Mystery Soul, if you want to play a little bit more aggressive and focus on just stealing stocks early, like Beavats,
There's a lot of range for both these characters to go to and so I'm really interested to see what type of player we see with both these characters,
because they have such a versatility within their kits that allow for them to do some wildly different things from player to player.
Yeah, and that was some excellent analysis brought to you by Yin while I was on the ones and twos, fixing some stuff on the stream.
But we're good now. Y'all are good to go.
Alright.
Let's enter it. Who do we have in the...
Oh, Fleets. I couldn't see. Fleets are delicate at all.
I'm really curious, since both these characters can either be the most scrappy people on the planet, right?
Or they could be the most ranged. I am going for the trapping and everything.
It becomes this big question of what type of player these two are.
Yeah, absolutely. And you may have said this when I was off for a second, but have you seen delicate at all player before?
Do we know anything about them?
I've watched her like once or twice.
Okay.
The main stuff that I know is a little bit of research before the block and everything which is that 20 and 30 for C
Copy against Alec Ditto. So these two a couple of times they haven't been since December. So, you know, there's been some time for them
to start figuring something out and our Jesus. Yeah, that was nice, Barry. Super rapid parry got some brutal advantage state with the
Tic-Tic boom and everything. And now I love this C Copy just trying to go ahead and re figure it out. Unfortunately, Dalek Ditto
to go ahead and burst down that range and break through.
Yeah, Dalek doing a really nice job of covering the puddle.
There's like making sure there's always some kind of projectile or threat on top of it
when when coffee's off screen or off stage together.
I will say the way that she's also utilizing that mid platform, beautiful, just putting them onto it,
locking them in with the upper. Now we go ahead, keep the projectile game going,
just shield on top of that. As you said, you mentioned, hey, we're covering that puddle,
we're making it so that it is always a threat and she was able to utilize it to its fullest.
Yeah, really nice.
Alright, try to lock you onto the platform for a second here.
That was just often to go ahead and reset, do a quick little burst thing there.
Just trying to maintain pressure on the shield.
Oh, nice parry there.
Opens up.
Copy.
Got stalk for Dalitiddo.
Alright, we got the F-Roy on everything to reposition.
Yeah.
That was just stuck in that corner, taking nair after nair, and even giving the ledge hog.
Yeah, cleaning the ledge hog there.
All tied up now
Copy staying composed here and that first stop was a little scary at times
I like how comfy is started to like really slow down how he's playing around dolly good right now
Where she she's had this really good aggression on him where if he starts
Positioning it in improper ways that he gets caught by the up airs by the side bees and everything
And so see company finds the opening because he was able to go ahead floor hug it that side be coming through and swing it back in
his favor oh
Oh nice catch on the puddle there.
Racks down a whole bunch of damage off of that.
Just opting to play nice and patient, willing to just let Dolly do her thing in the corner.
Yeah, Cupby doing a great job of controlling the pace of the neutral here, despite pleading to many tools to play her own game.
Hey, character's a little bit wild. You gotta be so careful.
That near two to go ahead and pop up, this is what we saw earlier, unable to keep the rinse repeat,
but still found the bubble butt to go ahead and center off the other side.
Now this time recognizing that she had the advantage resets brings her back in gets the kill. Yep
Copy in a really nice spot here
Move a little like jab chase right there to get the advantage, but yeah, that's a good burst option
Getting some nice little extra credit on this stalk
In a pretty good spot here, honestly. Oh
tragic whiff on that parry
That takes a whole lot of damage for that
Dude in the bubbles that everything wasn't able to maintain the control because that platform came through now
Just sending it right back to there the down tilt all of these doing massive damage and just rinse repeat
Dolly's they're able to go ahead and break through for one stuff
Yeah, nice. Oh spot dogs there eats a grab
have. All right, now sent back into the quarter of these platforms that that center platform
was really good in the story of the game this far. C-Cuffee whether or not it's getting
stuck on it or forcing it all to recover to it. Now in this corner, able to go ahead
and get the near send it back to the other side. And unfortunately, what a parry. Yeah,
you got to be so careful with how you utilize that side view, right? Yeah, absolutely. Especially
on recovery. I feel like that's the best spot to parry that in because a lot of the times
Fleet is shooting that at you from such a range that like parrying it back at her is not going to actually do that much.
Yeah.
It more is just to get it out of your hair.
But in that spot he was able to parry the tornado and then ledge guard Dalek with their own tornado.
Yeah, no, just carry you right back into those strongs.
It's a brutal tool to be weaponized.
And we saw earlier where Dalek was able to go ahead and secure the ledge, but C-Tuffy just kind of like baited her in from that.
in from that and so he didn't dissuade that but instead used it as a tool to go ahead and break
through later. Now of course we're bringing in those side lessons and a little bit closer to
make it a little bit easier to get some of these edge guards. For Dalek Titto of course, for Kane,
you know, C-Cup he was already getting those early kills and looks like we might be seeing
another one from him instead just opting to go back to legend and reset it. I love it.
Yeah, moving platform in Julesville was also kind of causing Dalek some problems here so
Let's see if the static layout is helpful.
You know, unfortunately dropping that stock right out of the gate with only dishing out 48% now,
setting it right back, but man, these parries from C-Cuppey have been phenomenal.
Yeah, really nice reactions on this, especially some of the harder ones, the parry, like, uh, Ford Strong.
Just setting it right back with the Strongs.
Goes for the down air instead of the near, opting to try to go ahead and get them lacking there.
there now just wins repeat another thing that's kind of starting to come through
about the stages those that wider base stage right dog that are just utilizing
that to reset neutral and regain control over and over here yeah for sure great
job of controlling this ledge here nice shots oh that last one would have killed
actually didn't even need it killed anyway yeah no a little bit worried about
going to going to the puddle which is kind of hard to do when you know that
He is already poised underneath it to get the out strong and everything, but just had to go ahead and go for the survival if he wanted to be a little bit longer against the 4th row, we're going to go ahead and reposition for the ledge trap.
And this time, you know, Dalek opting to go for the ledge slip instead of waiting and getting hit by the side view.
Yeah, great ledge play so far from copy of it, very impressed with the way that he's been mixing up his recoveries and just staying on top of it.
the little slingshot here
Something that really nice to have a lot of these platforms so that you can keep the movement a little bit more free
But just hasn't been playing through the way that she needs it to as she gets caught by the ground into the back
So now put off stage the narrow and everything we are rinse repeating keeping the puddle in play as well letting her out
Nice catch. Yeah, really good stuff
Dalek now on the back foot here
here. The slide with a border
and grab. Yeah, and would hate
to lose on your own counter pick
here as well. That's going to
be not a great sign for the next
game. This is of course best of
five as all tournament matches
are today. Shots out. That's the
way to do it. Yeah, it's a one
game tournament. So we're able
to make it work. We love that.
We love. We get the tag chasing
and everything went for the
upper. I like that unable to get
Get the spot right there, but still did not matter. We keep the puddles. We keep the jabs
I love what what C copy is doing with the puddles to reset it in. Yeah for sure
Nice we'll come back here though from Dalek still possible
I mean if they can get back on stage and kind of retake control here. It's it's still doable
Our charge on that up strong coming catch and lacking now does get the grab and everything
Instead of opting for the up throw, just forward throw, try to reset neutral, a little bit interesting there.
At this point, ooh, F-Fill. Never mind. I was going to say at this point you really got to go ahead and find a way to corner-cuff you.
Because when you're that far down, you have to just rely on some of the explosivity up lead to regain control.
Because 4Kain has such a wide range of options to get the kills off the side, whether it's F-Fill, whether it's back air.
And so you have to find your own way to shorten that distance and just wasn't able to do it.
Yep. We'll see now if Dalek is able to make some adaptations going into this game 3.
I mean, like I said, tough to lose on your own counter pick there.
A little bit closer game too, felt like, but would have to do a lot of work here to come back against Kupi.
We're going to see the harbor. Yeah, the harbor. Interesting.
I like this. This has some of the same benefits that we were seeing from Rockwall.
If you have that center-plat, it allows for Fleet to have a lot of main-stage control and get these slingshots pretty consistently, as well as the ones on the side, right?
So there's never a position that Belliculio can't just do some weird burst aerial options.
At the same time, though, you're seeing C-Cuff utilize that center-plat form already for some really good stage control, for some really good movement, maintaining advantage even in the center of the stage.
Nice parry on recovery there, but Fleet is going to be looking for a long-ass time on this stage.
and
another important elements
Consider here with this pick
Copy enough to work a little bit harder for these kills. Oh really nice catch at the bubbles though
Damn, no near though to get the catch. Yes. That's had laid on that near. It's hard man. Yeah, that is hard
That's the one thing there are some study hitboxes with our game
And so you got to be very particular with your positioning. Yeah, especially against a character who is so good at controlling
the range that he's bad at but that was that was what he needed yeah no that's a
big hit that is a big pick up right there yeah see coffee already pushing
dolly to go up to the skies got a little bit antsy with the backer gonna be put
back to the ledge and now this is see this is dolly to those chance can't
fight get the kill quiet yet but 95% this is this is that range where you
should be able to pick up a kill yeah I thought so too because I saw the charge
I was like surely right, but yeah, I think I think she was looking for the side B instead of the teleport
Yeah
Like kind of expecting that C. Cubby would be afraid the same way that he was on game number two right? Yeah
I'm not for the puddle
I feel like that's when orcane is always at his best though is when like people think that you're not gonna teleport to it
Like when you're when they cover it in such an obvious way
In their head there like surely he wouldn't teleport here
I feel like that's what we're paying gets the most value off of that. Oh, yeah
And you could always wait for the opponent to pull the trigger and then call it a day, you know, yeah
guys are
Barely slipping through
Dalek lots of the corner again these bubbles have been doing so much for coffee this game
Yeah, doing a really good job of controlling the range that fleet wants to be at
Or again with another
Up strong
Dude, I don't know what happened between games one two to three, but cup you discovered the geyser. Yeah
He is using the geyser maneuver
This is old faithful territory. Yep
All right, get a lock with the up tilt and everything always reset that puddle always keep the bubbles moving
See cup. He really just trying to maintain some like mad stage control with the bubbles right now
Yeah, he's shooting like way more puddles and I think you would see in other matchups just to
keep fleet kind of locked down which is all you really can do at that range as we're
getting. I think it's also extra nice because like Dalek Ditto has been like
such a float heavy fleet and so the minute you float you have like a very
restricted aerial movement that gets covered really well by the puddle by the
bubbles underneath. Yeah for sure and that forward strong charge did actually
work for Dalek that time around so once like a piece now but Dalek on tournament
life here all right a bit far behind and damage and that oh just barely is able
to shield this is still very doable we get the back there didn't get the reset
expected to seek up into DI a little bit further out to get the side B and
everything um oh god the up strong the one hard part is the closer blast zone
being that ceiling compared to the sides everything making a little bit
order for dolly dinner to get some of the kills that you would expect for the
early moments. That being said, this time we're ready to go ahead and cover both options
on the edge guard. Got them off stage. This is where you need to finish it off here.
That's a hit.
Oh!
Down strong.
Wow. Great clutch up from Dalek. Cuppie looking a little scared at the end of that
stock. Maybe getting a little nervous.
I think a big part of that was like the Harbor pick, right? Where normally on the previous
two picks, Cuppie has been able to feel very comfortable with side being to the wall going
a little bit lower and everything, bringing it so that that wall is just not as easy of
an option, specifically for game compared to most characters.
It made it so that C-Cupy was never comfortable with coming back and that puddle was still
in the same quarter where Dolly Ditto was covering and so even if you go to the puddle,
you get hit by like a reverse head back air or whatever and you get blown up.
Yeah, for sure.
Here we are now.
game 4, Talek able to stand on board here. But now, Cuppey's pick on stage. I wonder
if he's always happy to be on here.
I love that flip shot too, just to go ahead and back out and get the coverage. One for
the parry, does find it the second time, but don't matter if you're going to go ahead
and have the same pummel as the pummel breaker. See Cuppey able to go ahead and reset, gets
caught by the back air and everything, put off stage, has the tic-tac boom on him, and
Gets popped out of the puddle but didn't get the coverage. I think this is one thing from Dalek to know that I've been a little bit worried about is the recovery coverage
Yeah
definitely letting
Copy get away with some of these teleports and
Dalek going for these kind of like deep reeds on it. I think he's not working in the way that they needed to
I think sticking to like
Like the safer stuff, the traditional ways of ledge guarding this character is what's
going to probably help them through here.
I mean, I don't know, it's still looking a little tough.
Yeah, I think a big part of it is just the way that C-Coffee is like playing right now,
making the coverage so consistent and making it so difficult for a Dalek Ditto to ever
get the breather that she needs.
Now though, this is the potential.
You got the F-strong and everything and she's waiting this time instead of just going immediately
Like one specific cover drop turn. I love that and that even led to the kill. Yep, really nice
All right immediate aggressive puddle play this time around though not going for the the typical bubbles and everything gets the grab gets
The f throw doesn't quite gonna kill not without that puddle
Wow, she's living there that's insane. Yeah deep recovery
three. Shooting really high too to try to avoid C-Puffie's coverage. Instead though you're
going to get floor hug right there and that's going to be the kill with the down strong.
Keeping it even on these two stocks, I will say Dollar Ditto doing a really good job of
keeping the pressure moving right now. Get that nearer, tries to go ahead and get to
the up air as well. Instead we're just going to go ahead off back to the center stage,
reset the moment and keep the pressure moving. Now, slingshot but it gets caught by the bubbles.
We have a nice little sequence there from Kuffy.
Brings us back to a closer match than it was a month ago.
Now all tied up.
I love how Kuffy is utilizing his counter pick, right?
We're just going ahead, playing center stage, keeping the puddle in the game and the bubbles to go ahead and keep Dalek Ditto away.
Now we're forcing the issue off stage, right?
We got you in the corner, we're just going to keep that puddle in play.
Finally breaking free dolly ditto. I'm sure very thankful for it, but just got a little too thankful instead immediately reversal
Yeah, so these high platforms actually kind of ending up getting in Cuppey's way these kills that he's looking for
Ooh dash attack not gonna trade with the up be instead to cop for it down till up air
You got to be careful how you're deying at any moment because of course that down till it can just be ripped and done
Nice coverage there. The Nair will kill now once again.
Let's lock a piece here. Breaks out of the grab. Still got the tic-tac on him.
Unable to go ahead and further that at all. Now just getting juggled here.
That's kind of one of the issues right here against Orcane. If you don't have
the air mobility that you would like to escape sometimes you get locked in. Don't
matter though, we are pushing the pressure for both of these. Just kind of
trading off these two three pieces and then getting reset by the opponent.
Yep, momentum now on Dalek's side here.
Almost a kill.
Dalek getting a lot more consistent at landing those
down airs off stage.
It's been helping a lot.
Alright, needs to hit one here though. Oh, wasn't ready for it.
The back air to go ahead and send her off stage.
Now in the corner, this is where Dalek is doing really good.
Gets the bubble hit, but doesn't get the follow-up
that he would have wanted in that corner instead.
Just going to go ahead and off the play and save.
Doesn't want to risk the stock at this point.
Not enough to kill though, so close.
So close, and she's really pushing great.
No bubble, right?
No potolining?
Yeah.
OK.
Wow.
Dalek kind of waking up here.
Going from the opponent that has cleared you out,
you haven't taken a game, bringing it all the way to game 5 now.
That's huge momentum swing, especially when you're doing it as a reverse 3-0,
that can be something that really gets in your head as a player,
knowing that you've never really struggled against this opponent,
and now not only have they taken a game and everything,
but they are making you have to hard think about what you're doing.
Yeah, for sure.
I think even more specifically, that game number 4,
A big part of it was how the bubbles started getting responded to by Dalek today.
Right?
Where before when we were seeing a lot of this bubble usage and everything, Dalek didn't
was unable to respond the way that she needed to to shut it out and everything.
But with that larger stage, it allowed for Dalek to just set back, take the time and
recognize that, hey, you are just rinse repeating this.
Now I can run it in period.
Now I can go ahead and retake stage control.
So I am a little bit worried about the fact that we're returning to Merchant Port just for that one specific reason that it felt like she found the answer.
Interesting choice, yeah.
Kinda surprised about that one.
It's still at the same time, like, these are good, like, platform positions for Kane to maintain and everything, and so, like, and it's a wider one, so you could set Puddle on one side, get caught on the other, and so you, like, guarantee that they have to pick one or the other.
Yeah.
So you get some free recoveries.
But it's specifically, we need to change the game plan here in New York.
Yeah, they are certainly playing neutral right now rivals of ether moments
Hey, I'm gonna take the other side you take that side you can put all error
Yeah
You guys just doing their bullshit on opposite sides of the screen. I'm trying to win
There's certain moments where you can see a player is either a trying to win or trying not to lose and this is
Yeah, I'm not to lose moment. Yeah, exactly
now though we do see a little bit more of that try to win dolly said it was
really trying to shut down in the corner instead going to get rinse repeated
right here by cuppy that there right yeah do a rising there off the ledge
making it so that dolly could oh can't safely come back but that side the
actually securing it for and now she's able to go ahead and reset to that neutral
but we got a slip and slide or cane coming through with the down till with
the bubbles were maintaining the pressure can we go ahead and keep it going
nope there's that Perry that I mentioned before this game you got to be so
careful with that bubble play otherwise your opponent can just go ahead and
take advantage of you. Yeah and Dali kind of locking in on those a little bit with
not hitting them in the first half of this series but getting a lot more
accurate with them and getting tons of mileage off of that. Definitely a huge
part of this reverse into their favor. I like that she's just opting for that
corner just let the puddle sit. I'm really surprised that C-Cup you've been
to go ahead and let it rip there just not wanting to show the option too soon.
Really nice low nair there. It's gonna take the stock. I love that low nair
especially because of the fact that we've seen so many high nairs where CQB just try to reset the
advantage state and this time just recognizing the percent recognizing I can go low get the kill call it a day
Yeah, we were definitely seeing him like you said rinse and repeat a lot of these same options at the ledge before but
You need to mix it up a little bit more in this game five and I'm already seeing that a little bit
Which is which is good. That's a good start and so is this percent lead that he has here, but just as I say that
Probably gonna have a hard time getting back on stage from this point
That was actually pretty nice was able to get back on there
Just how close he played to the chest and now this one we're doing. Oh, wow
Okay, okay finisher. Okay
Copy locked in now
I I love that too because like the puddle shot goes ahead and locks her into that same mobility where if it
She doesn't die to get hit by the teleport in the first place, but I will still push her into the teleport
Yeah, it's so good.
It's really hard to time that to work that way, but when it does, it's, oh my god.
So beautiful.
Final finds that kill with the back air. She needs to get something going, and it's a little bit difficult.
One of the other things that I forgot to mention about the stage, is like having those further outside blast zones makes it much more difficult
for Flee to get some of those like early kills off the side. That being said, she's doing a really good job of just playing patient inside of the neutral,
gets the side B, gets the ad strong. We're getting the coverage here, so much damage, 51, still left going on a stock.
stock. Yep. Cuffy still has a great lead here. Noticing him checking in a lot though
and getting blown up for it. But I don't even matter here. Cuffy in a great spot.
Dalek did it with a run of crab. One of the few times that we've seen her really go in
quickly now getting caught up by the four-tiered bubbles and yeah, but let's just play to
Yep. No need to approach there. I forced Alec to do it instead.
I know, okay. I love how she utilized the down air and the fair to just break some of those bubbles, makes it easier for her to maneuver around that. That was so sick.
Yep, for sure.
Alright, he's really trying to force the issue. Just couldn't get that kill. He really needs to get this going if she wants to get the set here, the puddle, in play, and now copy playing a lot slower here, just trying to maintain the ground.
trying to maintain the ground control.
Yeah, Cuppie knows.
Probably just two hits away at this point.
Or maybe one nice down strong.
Ooh, the Nair trade right there.
Going to go ahead and favor Dolly.
Putting her back in advantage, gets the second Nair.
And that's going to do it.
Wasn't quite ready to go ahead and DI it.
And now here we are at last stock.
Immediately take it away.
There we go.
Cuppie.
Moving on to top 16.
It's not bubble pressure, you know?
Like, they did so good and everything across the board.
And it's just so hard to play against Orcane Puddle and Bubble
against a player that knows how to position it properly, right?
Yeah, for sure.
Probably, I think the most difficult aspect of playing that character
is the bubble placement.
I mean, the puddle placement, of course.
And Kapi, I feel like
First half of that series was just kind of throwing it out there
And it was working, but it put Dalek in a spot where they were able to catch on figured out. Yeah, you can you can pop in
Let how about
Yeah, yeah, you can you slide to the middle? Oh, I'll slide to the middle. Yeah. Yeah, just based on where our wires are at
I think that makes no sense. You're past me in that water bottle over there. No, I
I appreciate it.
All right.
That's cool.
That's a good message, but it's important.
Yeah.
That guy's been bumping his ass.
He's been trying really hard.
And that was a really great message.
That one stalk, and I know you guys are close folks.
You know exactly what stalk and talk is about.
Yeah, and he's come such a long way as a player to like he he is you know working his way up the ladder in so Cal
And if he keeps having those stocks, he'll get there. It's just the problem is that right now
He's not always having those stocks
He's having like maybe one per game maybe one or two depending on his opponent, you know
and he's trying to play around some of the wrong things,
but I know I've talked to him about over and over.
Yeah.
And he just, like, he knows he can do better in that
because he has those moments of brilliance,
so they're just, like, so kind of up the rest.
I think when, like, looking at that set,
it really was the advantage state that shined,
whether it was, like, that explosive stock,
but there was also these consistent stocks
where we've got him fleet offstage,
and we understand how to go ahead and play around that
to push her back off, force her to do another up B.
So now I get the second there and everything.
And as long as I place it high,
then I am there ready to go ahead and reset
if she did go high to avoid the there
with like a back air or a there again, you know?
So it was so phenomenal.
Down to Spiffy.
Well deserved, well deserved top 16.
100%.
Speaking of nasty advantage states.
Yeah, we got two players with nasty advantage states here.
They got St. Pat, you should know,
We should love them.
Best crag right now and so Cal
uh and continues to be so uh and also luna luna is a incredibly strong um
Olivia player from Arizona thank you you moved out here uh more recently
for school but she's like back and forth and i haven't seen her at any events but like
So, she is somebody that you should be looking out for.
You gotta be aware of it.
She will cook you if you don't.
Yeah, and this is, I think, a pretty tough matchup for Craig.
I mostly play Craig and I hate playing into Olympia.
Really?
I think that, I don't know, at least like, it's a swingy one for sure, but I think she
gives crag on her offense crag has so few options yeah I guess that's kind of
everybody I guess I just I guess I just hate this stupid rat character but yeah
for sure there is definitely also the part where like Olympia has a lot of
really good hitboxes to cover some of like crags more aggressive options inside
of nature as well right and so given some of those got toned down like Nair
Especially is the big one for me where like you really could just send that out and cover such a mad amount of space
against
so long. It is very hard to play around. Yeah, it's hard. How am I supposed to as like a drag, try and play around using rock when like this Olympiad King just pull up at any second and pack your
I don't get to throw a rock quite like that.
Especially with the rock changes too, how much riskier it is to pull one now.
I find myself pulling rock and especially throwing it out willy-nilly a lot less in a matchup like this when it can just get wasted so fast.
Yeah, and I will say with all that talk of like the rock and the risk of playing like in that some of those aerial ways
We're already seeing same pack take it to the ground go ahead and just try to maintain like hey
I'm gonna be able to floor hug here if I want I'm gonna go for these down tilts and let me just observe some of the space
That being said we're gonna doing a really good job at just resetting the minute that she knows that she's taking her hits
All right, let me back off reset neutral. I'll win again. It's fine
Yeah, I will I will say this is this is probably the one cracker
Yeah
from a whip dash attack and then just coming in and smacking it around the room.
Yeah, that...
It is a tough thing to be able to fight against, especially where all these recent nerfs to
bolt these characters, it really becomes like, if you can get them in the corner, you can
really blow up their stock.
Reversed back air!
That was cool!
That was kind of juicy.
I haven't seen him go for that before.
I think a big, lot of what we're seeing right now is where you talked about it earlier,
Daniel of
Olympia has a lot easier time with utilizing our options to get around like the off-stage presence of crag where crack doesn't have that
Same thing against Olympia inside of the corner and everything and right now Luna
It's really been abusing it got him in the corner again and
That's right here. Let me reset. Yeah
to
two
to
that was dead every day of the week
that was a checkmate
the back air
into the forward air, oh my god
I love seeing the back air turn around right there
and the Kragner is coming to fruition
you're gonna go ahead and be dropping that stock
St. Pat, you know, what third or fourth seed
for today?
I think he's fourth seed
I remember correctly
I'm pretty sure it's 4th Seed and then Elkies is 3rd, Zerai is...
5th Seed, 5th Seed, my bad.
Yeah.
Zerai is 3rd Seed, Elkies is 4th, Sly first, so be a second.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Um...
Yeah, Sly of course, like, how could I have forgotten about...
We can't forget the hero.
Yeah, the hero of the story.
The hero of the story that should show up to more locals that don't get that $5,000 cost bonuses.
But, regardless...
I mean, he was looking amazing so far.
Yeah
The worst yeah, I got you. I say I say what the people are scared to say
I'm a true through
Realize realize realize
final stock but I need to be fighting on Pat.
Yeah Pat, I like that Pat is starting to play a lot more solid like we saw at the beginning of the game
he was really struggling against this Olympia's pressure right where Lina was just bursting in and
making it so that he never felt comfy inside of disadvantage or even neutral but now at this point
he's able to go ahead and slow it down a little bit, find these forward errors and everything to stop
Lina's pressure.
He's definitely slowed down in control enough to where he's feeling more confident finding these openings
Instead of feeling pressure to take it like he understands the answer to down
But I can I can definitely capitalize on that. I don't need to play this like
I like the idea
That's such a sad like you get a little antsy to pull the trigger and you oh
Oh, that's cool.
That, the entire room could have collected psychic damage from that.
That hurts to see, yeah.
She was so, she had that one in the back.
Yeah.
And you gotta think about what that does to your mental going into game two here as well.
Gotta be able to shake that off.
I'm pretending this, in this moment, if I'm Ollie, if I'm Luna, I'm like, alright, this is game one.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
I'm going back to this stage because this is game one, it's fine.
Yeah, you gotta especially the best of five. I mean you can lose one like that, but
That does hurt and that does set you back mentally same pad is looking like a beast now. Yeah, that was exactly what he needed
Yeah
That's a little crack sequence there
stock disappears and it's really hard to come back against a momentum swing.
I know that we all had the thought of LUNA needs to reset her mental.
I think that stock was not at LUNA needs to reset her mental.
I think it was St. Pat now has all the energy in the world to win.
You can reset your mental and you can definitely give him a run for his money skill, but that
is a really hard thing for you to come back on a mental and he's so good at taking advantage
of that.
He's so good.
Yeah, I mean, Pat with a divine mandate right now just sent that first game by God.
Didn't even die to that up here in the corner.
He's Goku.
Yeah.
We've discovered it.
Oh!
What are you doing?
Oh my god.
He's playing with his food.
He has a cat who found their ball of yarn and it feels just batting it away.
Oh my god
Okay, okay, okay, okay
Somebody needed this. Yeah, okay. Oh, no, no, no
Oh
Tragic for Luna. I mean honestly kind of just going next though like that was a Gigi go next
After that, yeah, exactly like
You can bring it back, you understand that he's willing to take them to the metthons so far.
So, how can we lock in?
Something when I'm thinking about this stage pick is I liked going back to Jules Vale initially because it really felt like Luna had the control of neutral when it was the CQCs, right?
So you keep the smaller base stage and everything, try to just keep on top of him, stick to what you know.
But it became this situation where St. Pat all of a sudden went from somebody who did not know how to win a scrap to the man...
like he became the punishment we are gonna make it even smaller we're going
to aetherian forest hopefully get some earlier kills I agree especially
because like Saint Pat was doing such a good job of never letting Luna get the
cards in the corner yeah his his recovery was just not getting questioned and so
taking taking Pat to a stage where recovery where there's a lot less
potential for recovery I think it's probably the right call here unfortunately
same path yeah I mean of course yeah the double edge sort of both of the two
scrappy characters this is top 8 at he waves a pat right here I thought it was
I should have never doubted my bad
Like a Michael rail yeah
Yeah, you see I'm going for all these all this air neutral bees now
Oh
This is the combo contest moment
For the nice usage of the rock to keep Olympia's jam broken as well. Yeah
Yes
But that was I like that Luna just immediately shut it down like she's not messing with that is
Yeah, that was
That is like an all these specific crack bomb a few words like
It only works because of how fast of a follower you are
Yeah
Yeah, I think that game could have that series could have been close it really should have been it could have been
I don't like I think st. Pat like had that you get a moment
We're just spoke to the gods that are trapped inside of him and let them not God's demons. Let's be honest. That was foul
But no just reached in and pulled Lucifer himself out of his chest to play that game
And I like the devil hit the hay, he knew that he was there for his block harder, that he was doomed for it.
There was something inside and Luna just didn't understand that she was going to fall toward you.
I didn't like it.
You're locked in the room and there is a serial killer.
For the first two games it genuinely felt like one of those moments where you walk into the jail and you can confidently say there's 3L but it was closed.
And then these three happen.
Yeah
You said it was content creation we're here for the club
He had a couple good ones here a couple good. I think it was what stock stock to have game number two as well
Yeah
Let's talk to them.
I've been hit by that since the last time.
So, I understand I'm like a crazy to everybody else.
Oh, no, I don't.
I'm talking a lot.
You saw yourself in that moment.
Yeah, yeah.
I was like, no.
I'm glad it's not just me.
Oh, yeah, no.
Never let St. Pat into the room ready to cook.
He's a monster.
You have to admit that you're a monster.
Speaking of monsters, you should never like getting cooked we have two of them. Yep. I got a great one sitting down
So now you want to lose you hate you're planning his assassination later
And you hate that lock scare
Yeah, I think Watts is awesome. I love it when he does the second hit of F-Tilt.
No, reverse bear, we gotta take that move out back, bro. That move is ridiculous. I can't
I don't even joke about that move.
That's the too far.
Yeah, yeah, we have to draw the line somewhere.
I'm glad to know there's a line.
It is true without fail.
It doesn't matter.
I realize if I'm playing an online tournament or offline tournament, there will be somebody
in the chat complaining about my mother-in-law back here.
Without fail, when I'm on stream, I happened at the Hop-On Invitational as well.
I was playing, oh my gosh, she was like playing.
I was playing some, I was playing a Zetter on stream.
They were really good and the entire time,
as I'm like down in stocks,
I'm playing this person behind me grown up.
You know, like this game, like it would have been so cool.
It just would have been so nice.
It's a reverse bear.
But like, if I watched, watched reverse bear,
it just like, it just makes me hate the game so much.
I just don't understand why they would let it and then every single time I hit reverse bar
I'd just be like
Yeah, just reverse bar like look at like
Why is he even getting to hit that like that's just so gross
Yeah, it shouldn't be happening like I just like like I'm having to hear this as I'm like trying to focus in a set
If you're trying to fix his mic I can hear him down my headset. Yeah, I'm very loud now
Yeah, cuz I think they had your mic muted the whole time. Oh my gosh was I muted the whole time?
I hate so
Because I thought I was still hearing you through my headset, but I'm realizing now
No, I guess I was just hopefully I was projecting well enough to reach other people
But now that is one of the beautiful things is when you hit a point where you know
There's a chatter mentioning something. Yeah, like okay a little funny story and it's kind of perfect because we're at a Ludwig
Grand event. Yeah, so before I grew up the goatee and like I used to have the like basic white Mormon boy like swoop
I would always get diet Ludwig in the chat. That's so funny. I would always say it
I hit that for a few times too, there was an instance.
You were my terrorist?
Yes, pretty much, because there was not enough times I heard on coms where it was like, do
we really need another white blonde puff mane on commentary?
Do we really need that?
And you know what?
It's the white boy podcast.
Yeah, I guess I'm just forever cursed to be that, it doesn't matter.
So I know I know how to ride lost his first stock. What happened to T-Rex?
It's called
Facing dry at the ledge. Oh, you don't you don't you don't know if there if there is one person who
Oh, hey, aren't away is just perfect at the ledge. It's dry. Yeah, like his let's play is
Not okay. That's why we're keeping away galba. Yes. His galvan is actually really messed up
You don't want to fucking hit his galvan.
Anybody who is good at the corner has a good galvan.
And think of perfect corner galvan.
I don't want that.
No.
And...
Is in perfect corner galvan you just press side B?
Isn't that...
Isn't that it?
No, it's actually...
Yeah, you drop and then you just press back on the C-stick.
And then you double jump and then you fair.
But if you whip the back air, then you just get a special back to leg and then you do it again.
So...
And it just works.
Yeah, it just works.
It just works.
That being said, T-Rex is not doing too shabby in this, I know he's a little bit out of practice, he's been really busy with work lately, but
Dry is, Dry, this might be one of his best matchups, I think the only person he genuinely just loses to is Stango in this matchup
He has a lot of great left boxes to practice in this and
Specifically being so good at ledge
With Ronald already being great at ledge is what really like just pushes me to an upper echelon
Well, like what I'm thinking about deriving locks is not even just like the ledge play which is a huge part
But like yes, also when you're watching like his needle play, right? Yes
It's locking people into position and making it so that like you can't just swing the big axe
No, you're not allowed to swing the big axe
Oh
I love this I know for those at home
Uh, he's god. Yeah, something that's a little funny to me is like having our reaction
The the projector we have all just slightly behind because the stream happens and then we happen and then the crowd happens
Yeah, so like we watched some pop off for a second and we go pop off
And then like another five seconds passes and then the entire crowd goes crazy
It's really normally not a problem
But because of the like the way that we had to lay out the space
We're sitting right now about six feet away from the players on stage and also about six feet away
From the audience so we're all like everyone is hearing each other pop off
Watching a show together with somebody else who is watching
Like this is the best part. It's coming up. Hey, get ready. Yeah, we're like staring at you. Yeah, you watching you watch
Being said this is one of the most entertaining ways I've had to commentate ever just watching it so so perfectly out of sync
Yeah
Oh great little great little up smash that just down throw into ob strong
Yeah, that's a be that guy. That's a that's a ron of classic. Oh
Speaking is fine. Yeah, we got the box
That's a little scary before through that's crazy. He got a place it he
He can get away with a lot of those things
Don't tell me that but one
one thing that is like
good for most locks players in this region that like we've all come to understand is that
Do I will always stall as long as he came out off stage?
Speaking of, yeah.
Like case in point, like he will always do that, so you always know as locks, I have
time to chuck a meatball.
Will the meatball work?
Maybe not, but I know I have time to at least throw it out and then decide what that'll
I want to do.
And that's something like you kind of have to pay the banter, right?
Oh yeah.
Now that we're taking advantage of the corner, all right, this is that corner deride
Dude the tech into the narrow special that I mean all right all right
Wow crazy side be there. Oh, okay. Yeah
Another huge
so hot right now. Dude, if we can just hold this lose, like T-Rex might make one of the
biggest upsets of the tournament right now. This would be a huge upset. I was thinking
Durai was a little under seated, but now I'm a little worried for Durai. No, here's the
thing. Are you going to call Durai ass? No, no, I think- You set up? No, no, no, no, no,
no. Durai's not that good, actually. It is not a matter of Durai being good or not. It's
There are so many people in this room that have beaten Dorae in the past and have the capability to beat Dorae
Like the same thing goes for Sly, same thing, but like SoCal is all super close
And the times that these upsets happen are honestly more often than you would even think
It's not like this is Billy, like Mr. Billy Bath showing up to the venue
I love the vision now. I love the vision. Well the thing is you also have to in that moment because he was too low to
Yeah, exactly. You just have to go for something. Would I have chosen that? Maybe not, but like if that's really the only option.
Yeah, exactly. So like you kind of just...
It's hard because he was so low. He didn't have a double jump. So he can't like double jump with like fair or bearer.
Yeah, you kind of have to wall jump and like
Well also he just used his wall jump too
And so that was how he could get it
Right? I don't know
It's a rough spot to be in
Yeah, it was like almost had that too
Just a rise and sell aggressive off-stage
Off-strong start, instant 45%
Yeah, rock wall pick, gonna be probably a lot better for him
This is a great stage for both characters
I think
Deryne loves moving around those platforms
He loves moving around these platforms
and he is somebody who knows how to make bear
so lethal on this stage
But so much less stalling potential here
Yeah, a lot less stalling potential
Ooh, Reverse Bear, that's your favorite
Yeah, my personal favorite
Dude, the narrative just break through the meatball
I love Deryne's awareness to just
put that out and have the coverage there
Yeah, yeah, this is a true fight from the corner. Oh
Great mayor on the meatball
Tragic
No, you don't want to be there. Yep
Oh my god
The tech away hoping for like T-Rex and not be ready to go ahead and get that coverage
No, that's what every locks wants if we want to next the ledge, please please give me my
Right now
I just I'm taking you off stage somehow truly we can fair back here
Oh, no
So little there. I thought he was going a little crazier. He is going going crazy
You shouldn't have doubted it, it was not over.
Listen, listen, there was just, I didn't see the vision, I couldn't understand his mental map, I thought I knew it, he's a different, he's a different guy now.
He left, he left to the PNW.
I got the tip for you, if you don't see the derivation, it's because he's still painting.
Yes!
That's what it is.
I used to watch him paint all the time, and now like, two months have gone by.
Back when he had the Afro and the Soul Free Boys.
It's just a whole different world now.
It's different how am I supposed to know it became more belligerent? Yeah
He understood wait I can just I can just throw these moves out now. I don't have to
I don't have to be smart necessarily. It is really funny to hear see good move good
It is really funny to hear Zeke like coaching boss. It's just do up strong. Yeah, just up. No, that's really one of the first things
Like they were telling me it's just like hey
they're right what if you just what if you just cast out and just like up smash
more and it's like it just works like what do you mean like yeah you should
just not you should you shouldn't go for these combos like you're trying to
reset too hard just cash out pick up smash yeah and you know what they're
kind of right for that they are that sometimes that up smash means I get
another up smash look when you're playing dealer no deal and you're offered
like a crazy sum of money just take it yeah you only have a one in 20 shot at
the one million listen they love gambling but you got to know when to stop
right that's how you get a beat in the end half a million is still half of it
yeah just take it why would you be I'm trying to still have a million yeah it's
like why would I not take the life-changing money when I could like
What what am I gonna get $501,000 now like yeah
Why is to write like this I
Wanted to say something more like deep no no no no no this no this
Yeah, why is something going on off-stage here there's there's there's stuff great great
There's stuff going on inside that kids brain that I just I wish I could understand I
Don't because I'd be horrified. I still wouldn't be able to operate
I think the problem is despite how long I know him. I don't know if that mystery is derogatory or not. I
Want you to look at that edgebar and tell me there's not something easy. There's a little bit of
There's a little gremlin inside the drawing.
I mean you have to have like something like a touch off to look at the character select screen and pick Rano.
You can't be like...
And furthermore be like the instant rival one comes around seeing the frog and going like this is it.
Like I don't need to choose any other character ever. I just need the frog.
And it has proceeded to be that for till the end of time.
Yeah, you have to have some like amount of evil in your heart to choose this character
I think by the way my head cannon for the sd from the ride is that he hurt us we're first bad
And said you're right. I need to do some repent
All right, T-Rex
You literally just killed him with a reverse pair last thing we're saying he's repenting. Yeah
He's so good. Oh my god. He's fine. Oh good
You're off stage against Ryan, and you just don't want to be there finding a good hit.
Falling reverse bear.
It works everywhere, it's just so good.
Just up smash!
Oh no.
A little scared.
Yeah.
Drifted a little too early.
Earlier.
Alright, the Nair and everything.
Oh!
That hit that would have been a kill.
Hold up, T-Rex is cooking right now.
The up air and everything.
just pushing further off really nice really nice yeah I don't blame you that
that reverse I'll be in everything to go ahead and just punish him for stalling
for that yeah that's that's in the kilogram hours well on gameplay there
they're there a massive reverse up special weather like in aggressive
Fashions well like ultimately in that position you have chosen to double jump you've chosen to air dodge
I know that you have to start like drifting in a little bit at some point
I'm going to it sends you down at such a poor angle and also in like such an oddly slow way as well
But it's very difficult to oh god. Oh wow. Oh god. That's you know
That's what happens sometimes when you play this character. Yeah, I mean that's what you sign up for you
Just you have to be a you if that tilts you you can't play this character
Yeah, exactly
That's not a sword that's an axe
This guy he doesn't even know his weapons. I mean it might
That might as well be a nuclear bomb for all I care, but that thing hits you that hits you from anywhere
You know, it's just the point where like, what's in the weirdest way possible is the
swordy.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
And if you see that, if you see that fair, like, that is just reverse Marth Fair.
Yeah, anyone who has that fair is a swordy.
You're swinging a sword, Doc.
Like, I get it, it's an axe, but you're swinging a sword.
And now your question becomes, who's a showdo?
Who's a showdo?
you know we don't have a show to inside of the game right now if we're going by
the FGC glossary we do not have a show to yeah that's true yeah Olympia has two
out of three yeah yeah
and it's almost there the side to where I do that too many times Olympia Olympia
side is close enough I think for the top thing is hot thing you have to extend
your foot out which is why it's not oh right yeah I forgot that's the defining
You have to move horizontal with the foot extended.
So that's why piranha punch dash attack is a Tatsu.
Yeah, fireball is any projectile.
Yep.
Okay, Shoryu is a upper DP's earth in the upper cut.
Yeah.
So, she does that with her feet.
She does.
That counts as it.
It does it?
It says typically.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, I mean when you think about it is that her up special kind of can't do that
It's kind of I can see it. I can see that
Fireball yeah, I literally had the fireball as well does not have a top do that. No, I don't yeah, no such
I don't think any it's so like when I did this bit because I did this bit on a
On an online ultimate bracket at one point where you need and then teeny just talked about what character or shadows
By the way, piranha plant is in fact a showdown.
You know, I...
Has a DQ that has a flow you would have to talk to.
Does the definition say that it has to be a forward advancing firewall though?
No, it just has to protect us.
The cross-bord.
So, like, and even then, even if it requires forward advancing, you can't shoot forward.
That's true, yeah, you can shoot it, yeah.
But yeah, it's... Fireball just has to protect us.
By the way, this is according to the FGC glossary.
I know that doesn't count.
I don't care, it's funnier this way, alright?
I mean, you have to have something.
I think it should count.
I think it should count, and that's what matters, you know?
Hey, it's, either way, it's the funniest.
Why would I want everybody else to write the rules for anyone?
In reality, like, I'm here, the master of my own game.
Yeah.
But, uh...
Exactly.
The thing that saved Tatsu's in, like, that bit was all this Master of his characters,
almost every single one of them, their dash attack, they lean with their feet.
And so so many characters have tattoos that normally wouldn't but in this game like name a dash attack that leads with the foot
Olympia
Olympia has a tattoo never mind. I lied Olympia
Olympia might be just a shadow hold up
We gotta double check the dp if it if it requires it to be an uppercut then she wouldn't be a shadow for shadow
I mean her up specials basically that though, but it's with her feet. So we got to double check this. Hold on
The dp. Let's get the dp. So dragging
while we're waiting on production.
FGC, loss, this is very important.
We're deciding if we have a single shadow in the game.
Okay, a powerful rising uppercut attack that is great for anti-air, usually invincible,
so not always, making it great for reversal attacks.
That sounds like the 1PL special.
I gotta keep it a buzz.
Wait, here's the thing, it doesn't even specify that it has to be a special?
So, up strong.
Oh.
strong up strong it doesn't need to it said it is typically invincible which
would make it great for reversals was the wording so it doesn't even need to be
good for reversing I think I think she's a show we found one
unfortunately it's the least funny one is galvanist shadow no he doesn't have a
because his side B is his head forward, his dash attack is his head forward, so he doesn't have a special level.
It propels him up, not horizontally, because it has to be a horizontal propelling move that extends your foot forward.
So like, I mean, if you think about it, not by side special and to reverse back air.
No, no, that's two different moves. That's two different moves. You're cheating.
It's only funny...
In my heart, he could be a shithead.
He could be, but he doesn't lead with his feet. He leads with his...
If his dash attack led with his feet, he would be a shithead.
Yeah, you know what?
But he leads with his head.
Do we have any lore behind the McDonald's Gaming League jersey?
What?
This is crazy.
The whole time you're talking, I...
So, uh, no, no, no. That is an actual McDonald's Gaming League jersey.
What the hell is that?
No, you're lying.
I love one. I love one. He's
He is such a grinder. He is so do he
Oh, I thought we were talking about Zedder's jersey. I did it
Sorry, I probably I probably should have clarified the whole time you guys were talking
I was just trying to I was staring at Juan Solos jersey just trying to figure out where the hell he got
I thought we were talking about this Zedder varsity jacket. I know because that's so he
Wait, Chad can't see the back of it, but it looks like it's a the graphic is like a WWE belt
But in the middle is the McDonald's logo and on the sides of the belt is gaming. Yeah, it's part as fuck
It is a really good thing that the sponsorships are not like Wendy's or whatever because we would just immediately
Screwed ourselves. Yeah. No, anyways, go drink Red Bull, Chad. Yeah, Chad has to drink Red Bull.
Yeah, I'll take a sip of Red Bull right now.
I think I think let me let me do a call on my 18
No, but it is your alien wear phone
He works McDonald's he was working a second seasonal job and he was doing school full-time up until like god damn this week
You know shout out to the guy
Wait, so he does actually work in McDonald's. Yes, so the jersey is real
Yeah, I mean saying no was thinking that you were talking about set. Oh, okay. Okay
I hadn't connected this yet. So do they have like internal McDonald's employee term?
Yeah, that's it if so, so we know what you are we getting sponsored by McDonald's now by proxy
I mean we've said their name enough times that surely
We should get some sort of check. I would wear that. I am I am not shitting you
I am not pooping or shitting or farting on you. I would wear that every single day of my day
Alright hold up pause
How did that that came out of your mouth a little naturally?
I just I wanted you to know how dead serious I am that I would wear that every single day of my life
As somebody who's studying psychology for fun in high school, so not at all
Yeah, so you're an expert. Yeah, as a certified listener
I've read like a couple of psychology books
I just know Freud would be all over that or as someone who has a psych 101 book at home
who read like four chapters and then was too lazy to keep reading.
Well, as a guy who's not stoned and talked to a guy about some policy one time.
My mom was a therapist so I think between all three of us we like combined together make one person who almost understands.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, all of this stuff.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's true and who's gonna tell us we don't?
We could just say anything right now and they have no choice.
I guess they could always mute us but like they don't really have a choice.
No, they don't, they don't understand.
Like this is important.
Hey, the only rules that were given to me was be pro the sponsors. All right. Yeah, I feel like we're being as pro sponsors as possible
I'm very pro chili. Yeah
Offering to bring the dog over and you said no, well cuz we're not on camera right now
I don't care. You don't want to hold him pet a dog. Do you hate happiness and joy?
Well, I do hate this little fucker because he what he peed all over the floor this morning
Okay, and that's your fault as an owner. There's not the dog. Yeah, he only has one eye
Oh, and you thought he could see the floor. No, that's the problem is that he's so dumb
He can't he can't he knows where the pad is but he just chooses to like pee away from it sometimes
You can't blame the dog, I'm blaming you.
Sometimes he wakes up, he's like, I'm too tired to go over there where the pee pad is on the floor.
Yeah, what if I just lied here?
Yeah, like you haven't thought about doing that sometimes and you're just stuck in bed.
I do, all the time. I just piss the bed.
You see, I at least have some more grit than that.
Oh, you piss to the side to the head, and so you think you're better than me?
You think you're better than me for that.
Listen, it's much easier to clean a carpet than it is to clean mattress, alright?
And I don't care how easy it is to clean. I'm being lazy at the moment.
It needs to be one of y'all it can't be me because the only way for me to go out of this is like speaking of bed wetters
This is really wet in the bed now
If I was having to fight Sophie this early
Like this is this is this is genuinely terrifying and it's kind of getting cooked right now. I mean, I'm good now
I got my dog on my lap. That's the best way to do commentary
That was the one good part of Santa Claus
Okay finding an edge guard let's see one take this
It's how I know I'm surrounded by two rivals players. They had no idea about the Santa Paws drama. They're like, wow, what is this?
the Santa Pons is awesome until they don't pay you your money on
it was like a charity thing too right?
didn't pay anyone? yeah yeah oh it's so much worth behind the scenes
they work so fun sometimes you totally never get stand
they weren't even technically a charity at first that's why
and then they like the TO committed fraud and falsified
people's signatures
I mean, Loki just like, you can just be lying these days on the internet.
No, no, I'm saying like people can just be lying these days on the internet.
There are no repercussions for lying on the internet.
You can just be like, this is for charity and then it's not.
And then you probably get away with it.
Yeah, so they had completely forgotten to file their charity paperwork.
This was the second Santa Claus, by the way, so they should have had one for the first one as well.
as well. So they went over they went a year without filing it. Yeah, so they did another event. Well,
they got official like big TOs involved. Okay, help them out. They got Captain MRA. Okay, right.
And they were like, Hey, you have to file with a charity, like, and so then they created charity.
The thing is, for creating a, it's like an F-13C or something like that, like an official charity.
Yeah, you can't just have one person or whatever and so
She didn't tell castor emory and just falsified their signatures onto the charity paperwork
That's crazy. You could just ask
Yeah, okay. Oh, yeah, we kind of need to like do the thing is they did and they said no
We wouldn't want to be a part owner of your own. Oh, that's so much worse
It's just to have them say no and then falsify the signature
Crazy, there's some crazy stuff with it like me personally they were like they hit me up a month before the event because I was
Late ad and I was like yeah, if you could pay for half of my flight
Because I'm not covering a $500. Yeah, yeah, especially especially this you know well
This is back in 23 or 20 yeah, but like that that little in advance to yeah those flights are gonna be $500
Yeah, exactly. That's not cheap
And she was like, yeah, you just look at it. I'll send you the 250. She didn't send me the two
Supposed to send me the week up did not send it to me till August the next year. So yeah, I
Also did that on a credit card. So I got more interest payment
Whole crazy that that that whole thing is a mess
Yeah
The one thing that wasn't a mess was Sophie just staying clean pop and walking in through that entire set
Sophie also playing with the McDonald's varsity jacket. Yeah, well once although had the McDonald's gaming
Is this an official sponsorship for McDonald's no
That's fine, okay, but it was like Adam McDonald's
you won
online event okay
So he does work for McDonald's does work for McDonald's. Yeah, so like there is some fire. That's kind of sick
winning the McDonald's shirt
For an online event to then wear that while you're working at McDonald's
That's what I have to head off comes because now I have to do battle. Wow
Pleasure commenting with you all
Are you on stream?
I mean, if we're if we're giving love to other castors, I mean, Black Mars is just by me. You want to hop in baby?
Yeah, yeah, you can hop in
Yeah, I mean we got space for three
Come come join us
Welcome welcome
Dude shout out to Black Mars to go pick me up from the early airport yesterday
today. I went and traveled a little Tokyo together. Oh hell yeah. It was. Where'd you
guys go over there? Where we get the steam buns? It was like. I forget the name. I
go that shit all the time. It was fire. Yeah. Yeah. All the food over there. Yeah. The place.
That's with the steam buns. Yeah. Yeah. The place got these. Oh was it the one in the
middle of the plaza? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That place is so fire. They have a curry. They
have a curry bun. The curry, the chicken and veggie, that's what I got. Yeah. That one
I saw the curry I'm like that that's like my favorite food of all time is like
Yeah, so good so that is so like versatile
Hey, I've been cooked you learn you learn to call certain foods first of time
But fun facts
Vegetable is
Shit, I'm forgetting which of the two it is so either fruit or vegetable is actually not a
real distinguisher of plants it is solely a culinary thing I think it's
vegetable I think so too I see I've heard this before it is vegetable it's
actually yeah but yeah like vegetables is not a scientific term by any means it
is solely a culinary grouping yeah you want to know another fun fact about
food I was gonna wait to rip this out till top eight I was saving it for
marriage as an ex-mormon you learned to save things for me but no I was telling
black mar about this yesterday so I wanted to bring snacks and food on my
like trip here yeah so I was like all right what I bring from Salt Lake okay
like you tired right you I said ex-mormon you literally just said ex-mormon yeah I
mean I was I didn't want to assume I guess I'm like Idaho yeah I mean there are
Mormons and other places but yeah no this not yeah yeah I gotta say that I
gotta say that all right I didn't Arizona I get all this is like as somebody who
lived in Arizona as a Mormon I get a say that all the Mormons only exists in
Utah all right Arizona I never seen an Arizona that's down I was the only one
to ever exist and don't it didn't exist there anymore it actually made me ex
Mormon that's part of my journey whoa okay I'm really big into sorry I know
you had a point but now that we're talking about it I need to know what you think about
the secret lives of Mormon wives have you seen it the TV show no because it was boring
really the only interesting thing that I heard about that show was also just on tiktok anyways
yeah like that is that is the problem at the show I cheated on my husband I did swing your stuff
and it's okay it's like I was in that religion no it's not yeah no it's not like here's the thing
I can make a better argument for why being gay isn't against the religion of being Mormon.
There is no argument to be had for like having like...
I'm trying to... how... how... I'm realizing on this topic, I do need to clarify.
What are the stream rules?
I... you asking that now?
There...
I am because...
I don't think we're... I don't think we're on Ludwig's YouTube anymore.
Okay, so I can do whatever.
Uh, yeah.
For the last part, obviously.
And it's also like, we can like swear and stuff and whatever.
Yeah, I heard you say DF on and like, sick.
I can say fuck yeah, yeah for sure on that club. You can say fuck you can say piss you can say part
Well, that's crazy
Just like the range never been on a stream where they told me no part the range of words that you can use like from far too
Fuck is okay on down back club, and I'm pretty sure it is on Ludwig's channel, too
But I also don't think that we're on there before I make this bit. Are you straight? This is important. Yes, okay
So you can't restrict me saying the absolute so
If you do that that's oppression. Yeah, no, I mean who am I to say?
That's why I asked I was like can I check made him right now?
Yeah, if you guys let me rip the seed word that we can go we can go all around
Love Prince
Ready over there with the house
Let me get away before they start saying some crazy shit.
The TSA, as we were talking, everyone's favorite subject.
TSA, yeah.
You can bring a live lobster through the TSA.
Well, yeah.
As long as you have it in water, in a case that is waterproof,
so it's not going to leak or whatever,
you can bring a live lobster through TSA.
That makes sense, because you can bring a dog through TSA.
There's a difference between that and a live lobster.
Because you can't bring water.
You can't bring more than 3.4 milliliters or ounces of water.
So you're saying that you can bring it in a tank of water.
Yeah.
So this is like a loophole to get liquids on the plane.
So if we wanted to like.
I'm making a lobster bomb.
Yeah, if we wanted to hypothetically bring
some kind of harmful liquid onto an airplane.
Or maybe you could just something less harmful than vodka.
Maybe we just wanted to put.
Well, no, because the lobster wouldn't live in vodka.
The lobster would die in the vodka.
Well.
Oh my god.
Because are they going to check if the lobster's live?
Did they reach in there and poke it?
Did you see a lobster?
I'm allergic to lobsters, so me, as the TSA agent,
I would not reach in there and poke it today.
I think lobster, OK.
I don't know for sure.
I'm not my marine biologist in the chat.
I'm sure there's many of you watching.
Surely, yeah.
I would assume that much like fish,
how they start floating to the top of the tank when they die,
lobsters have something similar.
And so you have like one marine biologist,
TSA agent on site to verify any live lobster.
That'd be an awesome like,
like, um, like,
like fine print thing for like someone's job
to be like the marine biologist at every single airport.
And they get paid to do nothing all day every day,
but like, it's like a mandatory job.
That'd be so fire.
You want to know the extra crazy part of this?
Yeah.
Is being like given.
I don't know for sure,
because they didn't have this in Jesus Christ.
Oh, really?
I'm sorry.
We'll get back to you, mustard, all right?
Not mustard, not mustard.
That's not mustard.
Wrong suit color.
But because I think butter is closest classified as a gel,
you can't bring butter through.
Really?
Yeah.
Because gels and liquids have to be less than 3.4 ounces
or 100 milliliters.
So I don't, unless butter counts as a solid food,
which I don't think you can argue that.
You could bring a live lobster,
you can't bring butter to help you eat the lobster.
Interesting.
And so why did that come up?
I looked up what foods you could bring on an airplane
and through TSA, and for some reason,
they were like, yeah, you could bring like hard boiled eggs,
you could bring raw eggs,
and you could bring a live lobster.
Raw eggs, I'm surprised,
because that kind of counts as like produce.
Well, you can bring produce to it.
Oh, really?
I thought that was like a thing because, like,
across state lines, you can't.
Oh, interesting.
No.
As long as it's within the continental US, which is OK.
It is a loophole because you are right.
Specifically with California, you can't bring,
I think it's citrus over state lines.
Yeah, that's why they have the border checks
in California that are almost never used.
Just to make sure that people don't bring fruit across the board.
I was in Arizona a couple of weeks ago,
and you have to pass through, and like,
and it literally says the sign like.
It's specifically citrus.
Yeah, it says like, like a checkpoint for like produce.
It's like, I think what it is,
is there's like certain invasive species
that haven't made it to California
that could through the citrus.
It's just some California bullshit,
like you know, we don't have like working
in a house with transit.
This is no neighborhood.
I mean, God forbid we have like affordable housing
or like functional public transit instead of,
I just want to point out that notice that the straight white man is complaining about these weird liberal rules in California
Yeah
Interesting
Yeah, I do I'm saying I've had enough of these of these border patrol agents
Just trying to get that shit across the border
I just I need vitamin C in my life. All right, my uncle got scurvy the other day and I'm not trying to imitate him
I'm eating oranges mad orange is scurvy in this day. You're not eating any fruit
It's not even just any fruit. You only need like a drop of vitamin C
Once in a blue moon to avoid scurvy is a crazy thing you could accidentally ingest enough vitamin C
Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. I get I we
were having such a riveting discussion that I looked at the screen and I was like, oh,
that's a pretty crazy combo he's doing there. And I was like, maybe you should say something
about that. This really became a podcast. Hey, that's down back. We run things kind of
loose here. That's usually our tournaments are this is like this is kind of luxurious
for me because usually I am running the stream and doing solo commentary and
T oing yeah really racked it up you play while you do that of course that'll
be swag yeah yeah yeah that's the thing with three-legged dog he's a crack
player. That's all I needed to add to that. I mean, yeah. It's still nasty as hell, right?
Well, Jett's stealing the water bottle. The water thief. He's stealing from a queer man,
let it be known. Let it be known. Oh, he went so deep for that. Oh, okay. I thought you were
saying, oh, did the Jett thing. He did go very deep for that. Deep for that water. Speak
I'm deep for that water, huh?
Anyway, the match here!
Got the pummel.
Dude, no time just doesn't want to get cargoed.
Yeah, like he's playing so hard to stay away from that.
I'm hitting special pummel every day.
Yeah, I mean, he did get cargoed three times in a row at the end of last game, so...
You know, yeah.
As the psychologist on the couch, we can send this PTSD.
Right. Only if all three of us agree to it.
Oh!
Okay. We'll ping pong, actually.
All the narrative go dude, I thought there's so many moments where I'm like yep
They're gonna die down and they don't and I don't know how
There's that reverse bear I know I know some or not the reverse bear but the the turnaround bear
I know somebody in chat is screaming about it
He needs it man. He needs it. He really needs the bear
Thank you, Katie shout out to just the Djenga God our water boy not good enough to be a caster. Maybe one day
I think he's a fraud. He'll never get to
You're not dog at this like completely turn this whole thing around
It's just for air it's rock
One more for the fans that's crazy
This is uh, this is bad. This is really bad for no time
Don't go go die again, don't look it. Well game one it was a sign now
Yeah, sometimes you need to especially right okay. I'll accept this. I'll accept this
I think the nice thing is like this is a big enough platform where like you can get them on there
And as long as you're like aware of what their tech options typically are you can go ahead and get the covers with up strong
Yeah
You know you got a three-legged dog took a million years on that angel flat really really considering what went wrong
Reflecting your actions. Yeah, I can't blame you
All right, we are up strong mean and it works it it works and it works so many of them
Bros are going away. You don't get in this game
No, no, I was right for that. That was dead. Yeah
Well, what the hell did I miss? No, I pushed three like a dog all the way off into the corner and said I will kill myself to kill you
Okay
What?
Maybe some controller issues
That was probably resetting the controller oh
Yeah, so like controllers shut off while holding shield and everything got we got a reset and now we're okay, I say I
Will say
Respect for three like a dog just understanding that yeah
I'm not I'm not going to ask to reset the game or whatever this like because ultimately rules do say like controller issue
That's on you. Yeah, um and also by the way
Hey, etiquette for those at home, to keep in mind,
if you are having controller issues,
the one time you get to start a pause
is on the angle platform.
And so, still losing the game.
But Bro had that pull aside of like,
hey, let me reset my controller real quick
now that I'm on it.
And Angel's butt drops down, resets controller.
Overall, bad situation,
but both of them handling that properly, I love that.
In terms of the gameplay though,
like you see, no thighs turning around,
I definitely think a big thing
that kind of included at the end of that was the edge guarding.
Stocks that kind of just like if you talk about the way you forgot my stage and I'm covering that up in the stock
I'm coming all the way off stage. Yeah, it's crack. Oh, I'm going. I'm gonna drop this dog. Anyways, you're playing crack
I'm at 100. I'm dying next day. I'm killing you now. I wasn't quite sure they were making back on the crack
Now that character got nerfed the hell. That's not used to it. You're still remembering like, oh, yeah, they don't get it like
Warped
Yeah, because we we crack players are hard-working individuals who are new who have to earn every single win that we get
Yes, it's always been that way, but people are finally starting to wake up to it
Is it's what's happened with these constant nerves these unrelenting nerves to the character?
They they hate a union worker, and they really wanted to keep crack down, you know, he's just shit
No, no, he was United Auto workers
and you know he worked hard for for those edge cards like that. He was part of the
Teamsters at UPS delivering your packages. You're dead. Yeah, you are yeah.
He didn't even need to ledge hop.
You have to get back into it right here. Just watch your way up close and punish. Do not RCC dash back up.
That narrow right there to go ahead and punish right on it in there.
Yeah, you jump no you don't get to jump against lots
It works no if I had one conversation with the
That's all they needed
I'm so glad that no, I remembered how much three-legged dog has loved to just hold that
like yeah I'll take the extra hit let me just get on stage please
we're using the lava you're dead you're dead you aren't ready to die that no one
is
back up the combo nice little crack sequence here that's 54 damage back up
with the rock oh you can be swinging buttons like that no never mind I lied
You got reversal. I'm sorry. I spoke too soon. No time my bad
God for dare that
For dare on Mars which for speaking
All of the above all of the above is so good though. That'd be great. That's all that's a nice selfie. No, no, don't compliment
That's bullying
No, I know is it he's aware. He was casting during the dry set. He knows
Walk
That the dog the tables have turned all right this dog is walking you
Oh, man, this way in a lot for sure right now
Yeah, I thought for sure that was dead good tech good tech. Yep. Go back to the stage still don't matter
All that work just to get up there
Hey, Krag is the hard worker.
Krag's the hard worker.
We are lying on this couch, and I respect the class.
Not a three legged dog, but still a dog.
Yeah, here's a four legged dog now that we've seen a three legged one.
Dad, did you know that dogs can have four legged?
I thought they were all three legged, personally.
Well, this is a four legged dog, but a one-eyed dog, so...
Hi, hi, sweetheart.
He's not fully there either.
He's also stupid, so he's really not.
I've been saying, both bullying is tough, that's a crazy, I know who you play, I know what character
you play.
Yes, well I already said crack, no I hate that character.
For me that is the evil character in my head, also I just like saying it, knowing Slides
over there, just like turning in the seat whenever he hears me talk about players.
I think in my opinion on like the tier list of like I mean pretty much everyone in this game the way described
Rivals to people is that it's like yeah everyone is a terrorist like they are all
Evil and so everyone it can the nice thing is that it puts everyone on a level playing field where everyone can complain about each
Other's character because they're all they're all evil, but despite that there is still a hierarchy of
of malice in your heart required to play some of these characters and i think claren is number one
and i think olympia is maybe number two for me or no rano it's uh claren rano and then olympia
yeah you definitely brought two of the least malice characters in this game up very quickly
no that's crazy really i can't look at rano and things that he's super malicious i think the
The players are malicious wait a second. Are you on your side for a second the top the top players of Renault are definitely
Malicious look at the ride look at what's the ride guys. That's it. It is sick
It's sick to watch but it's evil. It is evil
Ronald is not as evil of a character and like okay. Claire is extra evil
The lower tier of a player you are but Ronald only becomes evil once you hit that like top level
You know what I'm saying. I got it because like Zedder is always evil
That's such a fun way to explain it though.
There are certain characters that are always evil.
There are certain characters that are less evil the better you get.
I agree.
Because it's like, Claren, you're extra evil playing it at Golden Platinum.
Alright.
Because you know there's not a shot those players are playing well enough against you.
Like they are not, they're not floor hugging when they need to.
They are not DIing correctly.
But at top level, you're less evil because you're fighting like, Stango or Cake and it's like, yeah.
Yeah.
You know, they're on point with it.
Okay?
Rono.
Yeah.
I seriously would say.
I think it's the player base. It's not even like for some reason
Ronald players once they hit that top level they become evil, but I don't know why it's weird
We're talking to yes, okay, I think that speaks to the character though
Right because that means they're playing the character the best and if he is the if the best way to play that character
He's by being an evil creature
No, because here's the thing you could play safe, right?
Because like there's multiple different ways to play evil like if you take fleet players, right?
Mystery Soul is evil because he will like Mystery Soul and Sielder are evil because they are finding different ways to not engage with you
Yes, like different kind of evil Mystery Soul is sniping you for miles away, and it feels so oppressive
Yeah, Sielder is timing you out
But then there's be that who's evil in a way where it's like you just want to rip out your opponent's heart at all times
Yeah, okay, and so I'm with it
Rano is not inherently an evil character, but something about becoming a top-level Rano
Makes you evil in one of two different ways either you're like doing this weird needle shit in neutral
Like if you're watching dry, it's like you don't play neutral anymore
You get hit by needle you stay still and you die. Yeah
And that only happens when they become top players. I don't know what that is
Interesting
Yeah, cuz I feel like that's like, you know
Obviously the the closest comparison is like melee chic and I feel like that's like the first thing you unlock in your brain
As a chic player is pressing the neutral B button
But I think that I think she expersion of that move is a little more straightforward and it's a fresh
Impressiveness. Yeah, compared to Rano's see maple evil. Yes. Yes
I'm with you there now. We can a hundred percent agree on this character
It was dead for the other person
Yeah, I love just staying at the angel plaque is you're so frustrated at dropping that side
Thank you puppy just licking his own nose
You need the puppy can't
We should replace the player game with a video game
They aren't as cute as the puppy. Yeah, no offense
Say hi to tell you he's not a puppy. Yeah, all right
Sock 1 was really beautiful. I also love this stage pick making it a lot harder for St.
Pat to just get in on you and lock you in positions that are not comfortable.
Right. What's he playing to make in this situation?
If you want to be here alive, not here mobility hurt, you can navigate away from this.
That could be what's down front right there. It's a little crazy, but it worked out.
We'll scramble right now. Come on forward there off the side.
Oh, another one! How did he get into the moon?
Oh, so you get back at this? You do?
You do. You do. Never mind. You don't.
Oh, I don't okay
The wizards doing magic tricks, but not any that they would be happy about
Okay, that's a light hold up that's how it's so disrespectful shadows. I'm so sorry you've been playing phenomenally
It was just one stock that you dropped. I'm so sorry
I feel like I said it and I'm like wait that was so much more mean that I'm
That's what I'm being.
I don't need it.
Oh, poor puppy tripping on the legs.
No, don't send him away.
No, give him to me.
If you don't want to hold the puppy,
I'll hold the puppy, Jesus.
He does want to get in your lap.
That's his favorite.
That's his ideal position as he's
been in any human being's lap.
I'll accept it, all right?
I'll never say no to a cute dog.
I'm telling you, the game's got a lot more scramble.
I mean, it's definitely better to see
Pat White a lot, compared to how it was.
Yeah, I feel like the whole reason
why you take the stages so that you can disengage better,
This maple and there's not a lot of that a shadow is so I feel like we definitely could have just went to like
That's the comfort zone for Pat also had got him back to stage so could have used a new pillar so it did not matter
How far out he went?
It's a crag team
Yeah, look at look at every top-level crag or any crag for that matter not even top level
It doesn't matter who you are your crag main. There is a little in inside of you
ZB has proliferated across all the crags has given them this little bit of impishness like a zombie or a vampire and
Infected them so that at any and all times they are just looking for the grossest way to kill you
Is that the canon reason?
That's the real reason.
This isn't canon, this is real life.
It is a disease.
Alright?
I'm with you on that one.
I play Krag and I think we all have some kind of disease.
Everyone who touches the character.
Which...
I'm happy to admit it.
I think I'm sick and disgusting for playing this character.
The thing is, all you Krags know it too.
Because you're on camera and you're laughing and giggling like a maniacal little monster.
Yeah, but I will because I'm the king of the rock wall. You are the king of the rock wall
Yeah, there is one group of people that get affected by the disease different. It's castors
Okay, if you have ever watched jet the jinger god play he's the one crag player that doesn't laugh like a maniacal little monster
Okay, he's still doing well. He's still getting like some good wins and he's doing crazy shit
But he's so serious and tuned it and I don't know why like here's the thing
I thought it was just a him thing. Yeah, and then playing crack for fun. I'm like, why am I serious?
I'm and the thing is I'm not serious when I play other characters
I'm laughing like a monster because it's the commentary gene
It's the commentators when they play games like this when they when you get them on set on the on the sticks
They also have the crack type thing until we play crack. I don't know what it is
That's so funny I have my stuff that sounds way play crack watch how serious you get I don't know why I don't
You'd be laughing for any other character the play crack for a little bit watch how serious you get for no reason
I don't get it. I'm not you told me it's gonna happen. It's what happened now. Maybe maybe you're right
Yeah
Shadow is a shadow is it did really well
It's tough you're playing against Pat like yeah, there's certain players when you run into them
It is one of the toughest polls you could ever have because it requires a level of
Stability within your mental
Yeah, you can't break against that
Like he takes like that frustration
and that's only gonna get you more
if it's just like a cycle.
Yeah.
Same talking with Sophie.
Oh yeah.
Alright, Joe, we got, I think,
like maybe
sounds like a couple more losers
side qualifiers for the top 16.
Okay. I'm pretty sure that's where we're at right now.
And then before top 16 starts
we will take a short break.
I don't know if we are
going to switch over to Ludwig's channel or I think we're gonna stay on here
regardless. I think we might also go live on Ludwig's channel when we get a little deeper.
When we get a little deeper into the bracket, but I'll keep y'all posted.
Thanks for being here, chat. Hope y'all are enjoying pit stop 2026.
And of course, thank you to my co-commitators as well for coming out, making the trip all the way over here from Utah.
Where are you living?
He made a 10 20 minute trip
He made an hour trip
Where'd you come from like a South Bay area nearby Long Beach. Oh, yeah, that'll take that long easy. Yeah, you know
The minute the minute they said flat in hotel. I'm here. I don't look let me tell you
I don't care how much my food is gonna cost if you will buy me flight and hotel. I'm there
You give me enough heads up for an event. I'll still be there because it will be cheap as shit to get those flights
Yeah, we would have liked to announce this one a little bit further in advance. This is this is a different this is a different issue
This is a man community issue that I'm not even trying to slight y'all. No, no
It's totally fine. It is it's it's it's honestly funny how late we announced it and like we know it obviously like yeah
Ideally we would have like had at least a month out so that people could like try to travel for it
But you know, we still have a great turnout here and of course shout out to the mobile moves team for
For putting this on bringing us all together
Yeah, 5,000 pot and if y'all didn't hear we also gave out 53 badges to
To evo which is insane and that's not even a fraction of the passes that they've been hitting. Yeah
They bought a lot. They got a lot and they've been dumping them on everyone. It's it's sick
I hope I hope a lot of I hope there aren't too many DQs from
From the rival track in the Evo like I would love to see like a lot of those people actually show up in play
Yeah, so I think the nice thing with that is like I think the community has also done a very good job of
Knowing whether or not they're going to be going and yeah making sure that they and I think that's kind of a nature
Like it's hard to tell when you give out a bunch of free passes
But I think thankfully the rival scene as a community wanted it to succeed so much that we've been very diligent about like I had a friend
got like a free evo pass it's like hey I'm gonna make sure that I can make it first if I can't make
it I'm going to talk to my whole community and then the Ludwig team has also been very good
about communicating with people who get free passes to be like hey we've seen you haven't used it
are you going to be able to do you have somebody who's going to be able to or can we give it out
to somebody else yeah for sure yeah it's great I I hope that Rival has a big showing as a result
of this at EVO, I think that'd be huge for the game.
Now, I will say, legally obligated, since we mentioned EVO,
to say TransRide's more humanized.
Yes.
All right.
Yes.
We've got to say that right now.
EVO, I mean, one side of me is happy that Rivalz has that moment,
especially.
But I was personally not planning on supporting EVO this year.
It's kind of not really on my radar anymore.
I'm going to ask the question of you right now,
since this is your stream at your event right now,
Since we are on the Ludwig stream quiet how open am I about able to be about communicating?
Beliefs in how this should be handled in the future
How what should be handled in the future stuff like Eva with like Saudi Arabia money?
Um, I just want to make sure I don't know line for yeah, let's yeah
I don't know. I don't know where love wants how much love would like to get to stuff like that
So yeah, probably not but I mean I think we can all I think most people in the community have a pretty similar opinion on
On this type of stuff. Yeah, people draw the line where they do and you know, I don't like
Yeah, yeah, of course, I think it's no difficult when you know, you are the small dog in the pond
Even if we organized in a
legitimate way like are we affecting you know, yeah, and the answer is now
Yeah, I don't know I think
I had I've been good. I'm more for I play more fighting games than
So I'm going to evo for forever
It sucks that like that's the way that it has to go
But like it sucks that like there has to be this like weird kind of ledge wedge like John
in between the community over it, but
That's that's life. That's how money works. That's the world that we live in these days
and
none of that will ever take away from the fact that we
right now have what I heard was the largest rivals tournament in California
ever or at least in SoCal. Oh well not in Genesis Genesis Genesis yeah yeah
Genesis for sure so yeah someone I someone just told me that in passing
before we started so it must be SoCal but you know people show up yeah yeah
that's what I'm saying like the fact that like you know whatever happens happens
this community is gonna exist with or without anything like that and while it
It is awesome that Rivals has that spot. We're very excited for that opportunity for the game.
So take a lot of what SBS said about the scene, right?
I think this is maybe the most important voice to have in terms of like Rivals eSports.
Oh, the mic cord catching you.
I think the most important thing that can be said for like the eSports scene of Rivals and everything
is what SPS talked about, right, doing more of these grassroots events, trying to push the community and, you know, bring together your local scene and put together events that push for more of that community, because that's how you build the scene.
Absolutely.
Speaking of the scene, I think we have, I believe, we should have a losers match, what, do we, no?
No.
Oh, okay, we're going straight to top 16.
Oh, okay.
Sorry, I was not aware.
I was not aware, yeah.
Okay.
Can you whine?
Come on.
Yeah.
I mean, hey.
I think it was, even though we were like trying to stall for time, very important conversation.
I was really happy about it.
Yeah, yeah.
And of course, you know, once again shout out to Muggle Boots for helping put this on.
Yeah, fucking goats.
Yeah, and shout out to all the lovebirds in the chat.
Guys, don't go anywhere.
We're going to take a really short break to get ready for our top 16.
We were just stalling because we thought that there was supposed to be a lose match.
But actually we're going to take a quick break, switch some things over.
We'll be right back.
Do not go anywhere.
We've got top 16 coming up and plenty more Rival Speed for two.
Can you hit the B right backflip?
You
it's actually so funny
It's actually so funny
Hello and welcome back to Hit Stop. We got some amazing, probably the two actions been pretty crazy West Coast show up big way.
Oh yeah. How you doing?
I'm doing great. I'm anti I'm joined by a black Amar and top 16 right this is let's go so Cal right there's so much so Cal over here.
There's a lot of California here in general.
in general, right? There's been some crazy matches, I don't know if you saw a few of them, for example,
St. Pat and Luna was an interesting one. For those who are unaware, St. Pat, you know,
one of our best players in SoCal, Luna on the other hand, I believe she was the second on the
AZPR, actually moved over to SoCal, kind of snuck into this tournament, we didn't realize she was
going to be here, so came in a little bit under seated, but that's neither here nor there, and
and said we are seeing two players we've seen a lot of in SoCal.
I'm going to say SoCal so many times, like started drinking game or something.
But oh, you're on kind of alcohol poisoning. You do that. Don't do that.
Okay. Yeah. Don't do that. Yeah. Cause, you know, the two of us,
we've been with SoCal for a long time and these two also,
two have been with SoCal since the beginning.
Sielder coming in from rivals one as well and Sly on the other hand,
our PR, one of another one of our PR players, very, very good.
these two so it was been playing a lot less of the game lately but size still
continued on that other slide definitely it feels like so scary every
time I see me somehow still getting better implementing new things with
Claren the character people kind of like assumes like basic and kind of play
the self-constitution yeah that's some way to put it I think that's what the
people may say I mean it's like also does have a force burn yes right you know
has a zed or a question mark but either way here we are already getting started
okay hold on so Claren versus fleet a matchup that a lot of people have said
many many times is a not a fun one for the fleets yeah we hear it though
sometimes I see the opposite yeah I definitely
I think it's like not as bad as I'd say. Yeah, I mean, I will say that Sildar for a long time also
ascribed to the idea of the fleets can do it, right? There is a lot that you can do to Claren as
long as you can get her offstage. The big thing that Claren does have in this matchup though,
is that consistency on the kill conferrence, but Sly is going to barely miss out on that one,
and not going to be able to continue much past that. But here's the edge drive we were talking about
still alive though, look at my damage, I'd be hitting, not quite dead off the top but
precarious the suitor, just left with a piece cutter, that's fine.
Yeah, but we're able to just sneak these back airs in and a lot of chip damage is something
that Sly's going to have to be worried about, 94% and counting on the Clarence.
At this point, this is actually a very good position for the fleet as long as you can
avoid that.
Dude, that's something, we're playing mid-rangers for 20 seconds and Sly just wore a long answer
in it.
Right.
It's one of those moments where you lose out on a lot of the consistent kill confirms on
fleet until she gets to those higher ranges where random Nair will end up killing.
But random strong attacks will do the job if you can catch them off guard.
In the meantime, once again, at those middle percents, which is where Clarence the scariest
against fleet.
Especially if you set up here, no projectiles getting there.
It's back on stage but still a lot of attacks for that real quick slide kind of snowballing the lead.
Oh, Scylder.
All right, Scylder with many, many nairs.
But what can you do about it?
The weak back are going to come on through and slide even up in the stock count,
but definitely continuing this control over the stage.
What?!
I don't know that, okay.
Well, we'll free be, but downstaff still recovers it anyway.
Yeah, definitely a full stock of Devon City here, especially if we took it to be a little rough.
Yeah, I mean, right now the only thing that Sliver could have going for him is a crazy early percent edge guard,
but Sly has the wherewithal to get that DI in the right position here.
We have the combo coming through though.
It's not even a matter of Sly's combo DI, it's a matter of figuring out if Sly can turn these into a full on kill.
Sliver on the other hand, just turning it right round.
It's so tough too because he even supplies his positioning, he's so well disposed of
himself, just not getting caught out by these things as soon as he's gone down.
Yeah, but with Yvo in the balance, not actually going to be able to get that up B to kill,
but you can see Scylder going deep for these.
Geez, yeah, pressure them way down low, like so get back, unfortunately misses out a little
bit, so last off the 102% combo into the Downstron.
Slime, man, first game off.
Back air down strong, going to do extremely, extremely well in this kind of a matchup.
Especially when Fleet is just barely at those percents, where you start to see her falling
out of these combos.
You don't have the up throw stuff, you don't have the nair into neutral B stuff.
Instead, if you can land a back air in the right position, then you can get those kills.
So good on slide to be able to capitalize on that position.
It's such a big boon to have because a lot of characters come that's like a
screwed gets bleeding that position but some of the options super super great
to get more patients coming out down til it's aiming. We are covering legs right here
preventing it from getting out. Now it's damage taken but a lot of positioning to do.
Yeah I mean it's patience is one way to put it but a lot of that movement from
Slylder didn't really accomplish all that much. Sly instead took a lot of the
control of the safe shielder now in such a deficit Sly has sealed her off the side not
going to be able to get the tipper on that towards strong but is going to be putting
shielder dangerously close to that blast zone.
It's so crazy when that bomb came out and got put on the shielder, like immediate switch
just happened, just like immediate on all the offense and we get all this percent basically
in that one interaction.
This is you know Rockwall extremely short blast zones and right now sly just needs one back air
We'll do it not gonna be able to land the kill
But Sielder still fighting for his life here. We don't have rage or anything like that instead
It's only the rage in the players and it is been building for Sielder here unhappy with this position
Oh, yeah, definitely not be happy. It's definitely been all slide
I don't drive to see some back up off percent wise, but again
These key like decisions slide the time to better end of it
Yeah, slide very very consistent on a lot of these neutral interactions
And that's the biggest decider right if Claren can get one neutral interaction
She can turn it into a kill if fleet can get one neutral win one neutral interaction
She can turn it into an edge guard
Yes, which makes me very confused at this stage choice right a lot of the
Boone from this stage is just getting a crazy kill like those early percent kills the edge guards don't really matter
Yeah, I mean
Maybe if we had you know rock wall
parentheses point five then we'd be able to see that back there kill
But instead sly still able to continue this edge guard
are not seeing those tight blast zones really do all that much for either of these players yet.
That's about the safe. They've been kind of like little sabers of the edge guarding safely.
They should caught the jump too clean. They came from spy right there.
Well, commentator's curse still comes in handy as the blast zone's going to guarantee two kills
that wouldn't have happened on a larger stage.
They weren't back to back to you. That's hilarious.
Yeah, but once again, back to back stocks were taken by Slyceus Sielder, a full stock down.
The forward airs, the down airs, the aerial roulette coming through from Sly and not a single one of them going to get punished
because Sildar's just constantly getting slammed by all of these.
Yeah, what I love about the whole quintessence could be it becomes an early edge guard, definitely needed for a Sildar right here.
It is getting back in the game off that. Yeah, a lot of things about Sly's pressure is it keeps it very safe to three hard to challenge.
Big hit right there, more damage.
Huge damage, the winch I'm going to come into play here, and the tipper forward air from
Sly to end game number two.
Positioning the second hit only, how it is clean with this base.
Yeah I mean, it's so funny every time you see the first hit tipper and the second hit
not tipper so it cuts out the kill.
Sly says I don't want to deal with that, I'm just going to tipper the second one.
Which is hard to get used to, to get on and prevent you so consistent with that.
Right, I mean, and it's exactly why you see Sielder saying, you know what,
Rockwall, Crystal Oasis, wherever it is that I go, I don't think I actually want those short blast zones.
It said, let's go to a stage with a lot more neutral, instead the refinery over here has a lot more opportunity for this interaction, this mix up game.
And then eventually you can look for these edge guards, but Sly doesn't care.
One thing though, the platforms we saw right there can make very messy situations for the person who's getting hits in right now, right now, they didn't sly though, not to have more and more damage, leaves out the distance to the back air.
Now this is covered pretty great.
Feeling so pressured, gets back on the stage now from the rest of the situation, bomb on, okay?
And one back air, forward air tipper going to be putting Slur to offstage once again.
And we talked about mixups back and forth, but a lot of these mixups from Sly isn't just
about these neutral wins.
It's about the DI on a lot of these throws, on a lot of these opportunities, down till
not going to connect into that neutral B. But we can see the calibration coming on through
through Sielder going to get read like a book.
He just has a good handle on the habits.
Everything they're doing.
The thing is, these two are very strong players from the same region.
They don't play against each other that often.
They're going to write. They don't.
Because of that, you can see that a lot of Sly's adaptation is just mid-set.
It's very, very much on the fly.
It's not something about the players knowing each other super well beforehand.
Alright, that was good. Just dappin' on the fly though, back here.
Not quite enough to do it, leaks back all stations, you can get much off that.
It feels like these openings for the Sealer aren't really leading too much.
This one can potentially level the Techchase off that down tilt.
Can we get this edge bar going? This is... won't take...
Edge off of...
Out there!
Please, please stop the Sealer. Okay, we need to get back into it.
Alright, and Sildar not quite going to be able to run away with this lead. That Nair almost killing!
Yeah, I mean no time for congratulations, you know. Sildar not gonna be able to breathe over here.
Sly just gonna continue with all of these areas. Just gonna continue to keep Sildar off the side and that down strong just barely misses.
I mean it was a beautiful tech from Sly on that Nair, but it's one of those things where
at this point right if you're playing Clarence and you side B into the stage and you're not
prepared to tech. You're not going to be in winners quarter finals, right? That is not what you see.
The back here from Sealer does get Sly offstage for just a little bit of time.
We're seeing these piecemeal hits from Sealer come on in again and again. It puts Sly into
positions that are uncomfortable but not unmanageable. But Sly on the other hand just says,
hey, you like mixups, here's a 50-50. You live or you die.
I guess that is a 50-51 for it like that, yeah.
Jab in the... Oh, we're missing a confirm off that, but still very good positions.
Hard to lose one right here.
Jab in tip over again.
A more much of credit, still a stop lead.
Yeah, one F tilt to get this Claren off the stage.
And we can see Sildar going for these later hits.
That's not going to come through the 3-0 for Sly.
for sly not a three-star had to work for it a little bit but in the end
Sielder going to be dropping down on losers is the expected result yeah
Again, I don't think it's a really no-server grade player that we can play with, but Sly, my goodness, it feels like sometimes he's just like, how do I put it?
Sometimes he just feels like the best player in the room, even if he isn't rating the one.
Right.
I feel like the confidence he has himself too, in terms of the player, definitely, I feel like I've seen his play being one of the more confident people, consistent with the confident people in how they play, if that makes sense.
Right. I mean, Sly very clearly shows a mastery of his character, knows exactly where to put his character.
But more than that it's very clear that he knows where to put his character without having to look at his character
So he gets to spend the entirety of the sets just watching his opponent saying you know what you rolled in the last three times
You're doing it again. Yeah, it's not a maybe you do. He's like, I know
Right the conditioning just comes in clutch. It's just a good time watching sly play each and every time I mean
and Sly and Sielder in Winners Quarters,
this is not something that's too strange for SoCal,
but it is a treat each and every time.
Oh yeah.
No matter how many times I see him play, it'll be so cool.
Right?
Yeah, he followed much of my stuff in a while
before the end of last month.
So it's fun getting to see the professional people
made in terms of how they play.
Never see a lot of this difference changes,
stuff like that.
It's not cool if my head's like this little thing.
Yeah, I mean, we have SoCal Rivals vs SoCal Rivals over here, but right now we're going
to be seeing a lot more than just SoCal Rivals.
Is Sealer coming back to the stream?
Okay.
Oh, alright.
I was a liar.
It is still more SoCal Rivals vs SoCal Rivals.
Dang a liar, dude.
Come on, Sam.
Uh, I mean, all I'm saying is that if they keep on seeding SoCal into SoCal, we start
having a case for maybe this is like premeditative, right?
You know a conspiracy why why would they be playing against so Cal over here?
Maybe a little closer, and I'll let you take care of that either way I
Love so Cal I love rival. Yes, and I love the mess that we're gonna be getting soon
I believe it is Sielder the turn into the stage and kimchi on the other side
So, you know, Kimchi has been on the up and up Sielder has been dodging a few
tournaments here and there but you know with Evo on the horizon everyone's kind
of locking in. And it's definitely really interesting to see what it does
turn into. These two actually don't think they've played against each other in a
hot minute. Right, because Sielder was not at the hangout, which is one of the
tournaments that Kimchi helps host. But we're going to have to see
whether or not kimchi's improvement, especially because one of his most
consistent practice partners, Jugeya, is one of the other many fleets on the field.
That's fair. I mean having that knowledge coming into, or that experience rather,
coming into that, especially against good players, super good, but definitely
interesting to see how it goes. Yeah, I mean, I will say though, I mean at the
Hangout itself, which was a tournament that we've had earlier this month in
So Cal I believe there were four fleets in that bracket. I had to play against all four of them
Yeah, anyway
But there were four fleets at that bracket
Thing is none of these fleets are sealed. There are many many fleets in so Cal silder is the best one for a reason
I feel like we're just like sometimes a land of this fleet and locks
There's too many. There's too many. If there are more locks players than any other player in our region
But if you show up to a tournament, there are more fleet players who are showing up for those.
That's kind of funny.
Get me out.
I don't care that I've played fleet. I don't want to be part of the problem anymore. That's the reason I'm playing Rano this season.
To make you get up for your past.
Please, please let me out. Either way, Fleet vs Zedderburn, another one of those matchups
is also extremely volatile. Zedder offstage once, just read on him and he'll be fine.
And if Fleet on fire at like negative 7, you're probably dead.
Yeah, I mean, obviously we're being hyperbolic and there's a bunch of different ways that
Zedder can actually get back to the stage, but these are the general game plans for both
of these two. So we're just gonna be gas-jancing a little bit, making sure our controllers
work is what you would think, but instead it is all a part of a huge conspiracy now.
And said we're just getting right into the thick of things, right? So Sealer taking
a lot of early damage, we're gonna see whether or not Kimchi is going to make use of all
that early practice.
Definitely a big thing to take note of early on is how Kimchi decides to get in versus
Sildar is able to keep them out. It has to be a very telling thing about how
the match will go. Right now, it seems like kimchi definitely a lot more damage
every time they get hit. Yeah, I mean, we're seeing piecemeal hits from Sildar
once again. I mean, against these fire characters, you want to be able to
continue these as much as possible because, you know, they're fast-fallers,
right? You get an up throw, you get a billion damage, you get a kill. But right
now, that's not what we're seeing. We're seeing a down strong come through.
Sielder surely going to die two stocks to three and this is one of our highest seeds
Who could potentially be going down? It's only one sock, but I'm calling it early. Are you counting them out?
Never mind I understand why the matchups the way it is. I understand it
Yeah, I mean Sielder's edge guarding has always been something to be worried about especially if
I think I'll be saving them a little bit. Still a lot of damage off this either way. It's a 47% not bad
Yeah, it feels like Sealer like paid that first stock to make the rest of these so much scarier, but right now
Kimchi in a lot of trouble here. 68% and counting the floats still available and these texts are beautiful
She's staying alive with it. Hunting off stays so deep, but good stuff to Kimchi not being fazed by it still getting back
What a crap.
Yeah, very much so.
Nair with a tech chase situation with a light.
Just waited.
Yeah, I mean, we can see
like the weight between these two,
but sometimes it's just not coming in
clutch.
You can be as patient as you want, but if you can't actually react
to make use of that patience,
what good is it?
At that point, it's just being passive
at that point, which is not the same thing.
Right.
Like here sealer gonna get caught angling that up the and going to be dying to that up tilt
I'm expecting in there, but
Here we go back here to send kimchi offstage. It's just edge guard sitting over here
He's like both stocks ended the same it's on both sides
Yeah, but both of these stocks were kimchi taking it first
Yes, and sealed her having to you know, just eat it out right at the very end so in
the driver seat. Seems to be
kimchi, but Sildar just taking it away.
No jump either. I think you landed it.
Still though, a lot of tax off that
85% suddenly a big percent lead
on the side of Sildar near the off.
One back airs put him in a horrible
position to get easy Sildar hunting for.
Good patience down strong.
Doesn't go for instead goes for the grab.
Back air sending kimchi off stage.
Sildar looking for that edge guard,
but the platform comes in clutch.
forward air to start off one.
The up be not going to be going back to stage in time.
And Sildar looking for it.
Down air not coming through.
Up strong on the other hand, stealing the deal for Kimchi.
Game number one, not going the way it was expected.
Very interesting.
Yeah, I felt like the pacing was a little turbulent,
of them both sides.
I feel like Sildar W started off being very passive.
Over the game, they were kind of a bit more comfortable,
just like making these approaches a bit more often, essentially.
But yeah, Kimchi just turned off with the sort of advantage
and sort of a second pace of it.
Had to do a lot, but we'll see.
If that goes in the second game though, new game, new me.
Yeah, but we're seeing right here,
Kimchi already getting a lot of d-
Ah!
Kimchi taking the first stop immediately.
Well!
Unfortunately, it's one of his own.
And Sielder still hasn't done any percent,
six percent now, on to the setter burn.
But this is a tough position to find yourself in.
Oh lord, especially against a character like Flee through an end stock so quickly these edge guards like this could be another one right here!
Come on!
Into the down air sooner!
No remorse right here, continue in the onslaught.
What is the opposite of a homie stock?
Like, this isn't exactly what Sielder is doing here.
It says, alright, so you kill yourself?
Cool. I'll show you how to do it. I'll kill you myself.
I'll do it better!
Alright, kimchi taking the third stock of the game. Unfortunately, that is not a win for him.
Definitely not unfortunate. Yeah, first stock was tough. Now, Souter's completely in the drive seat, forced to come in on him.
Souter in a good position. At the same time though, we'll piece it up right here, this ledge, give control of this area.
Now, the big question here is how does Kinshik deal with a deficit like this, right?
Is it just go on to the next game? Is it try to break your opponent's momentum?
And that mental is a huge part of playing the game.
Yeah, but it doesn't matter how positive your thinking is you're not getting away from that flea
Yeah, that point so does but up so much momentum. It was like trying to stop the snowball coming down the hill that
Oh, yeah, I mean now the biggest question here is
Game number three. You've already started off game over to by killing yourself. How are you going to come back mentally?
Yeah, so right here one up throw into another up throw kimchi's not really gonna be able to get too much of
off of that against Fleet. Right a little bit too floaty but Winshine makes it a lot easier.
Definitely does for sure. A couple of minutes back here it's unsafe though. I left the mix up on the pressure from
Kimchi now getting this tech chase situation started. Wait on Sooner though getting out of it.
Yeah I mean if the Throws don't work just go for the down throw the forward throw just the throw roulette
at this point right now. Shielder offstage back here not gonna come in through for Kimchi. Another
One of these throws now shielder on the other hand has a very powerful up throw for that fleet now
The question is whether or not you can actually get a chance to play it
It's definitely rough so she was spending this much time just being off the stage like this down so it continues edge guard
Fights back off the stage though
And we're starting to hit these knockdown percents for shielder here and oh kimchi off stage almost certainly gonna be dying
Nice sweet back air and 2% to Sildar
So I'll try to that one out right there. Love to see it
No edge around the side of a Sildar though the down to four there one take it. You know this dot counts. Okay
Yeah, but you know getting a little festive here
Jumping around spinning in circles and we see the dash dances also come on through, you know, kimchi just
commanding respect commanding space getting so many of these throws but not
gonna be able to turn it into so much now 45% and counting can sealer just
break through this neutral oh no oh wait a second me you don't need to offstage
like this the stage missing is so important you got to get back because
now it's just because of that shooter so much momentum he'll taking it away but
get up attack and get you off but.
Order yeah not going to kill just yet,
but when if at first you don't succeed,
try try again.
Kimchi right now has been moving so so well.
One reverse back air though,
and this should be a kill.
That's a ledge in the back air.
Still alive though.
Yeah, still has the resources available
and beautiful stuff from kimchi,
but you can only run from it for so long.
I had a really clean-ass angle, just gotta die for it, it happens in that.
The last ball, I wasted a second that bad.
Oh, the latest of theirs!
Oh!
Missed the down there, still alive right now, someone needs a back!
Yes, somehow makes it back here, down throw yet again.
You've seen a lot of these early up throws, it didn't turn into much the down throw, that just turned into tech cases.
Now, the question is, what can you actually get off of them?
Sealer getting a down throw of his own here.
One up throw in response, and we're getting these tech cases, but not from Kimchi.
on the side of Souter who's taking those hits and growing a mile with them.
Definitely getting much better of the combo game than the first couple of games here.
Continuing to turn up the heat. Love to see it as we get in the back.
Continuing the flow chart.
Raw up B angle, or straight forward angle, excuse me.
Not enough to get back as Souter from back there. That one too.
2-1 right now.
Yeah, 2-1, but Kim, she's keeping it extremely close.
Oh yeah.
Right, you can tell this man has been practicing.
just gonna go straight back to the tri-plats. I mean, there's a lot of
opportunities for tech chasing on these platforms, but I actually haven't seen a
lot of them come through for Kim Chi. Instead, it's very, very grounded in terms of the gameplay.
Yeah, it's interesting. You don't kind of see that if a Zetterberg will obviously like
pick this kind of stage. I think it's gonna cost him a little bit of damage. I feel
he kind of sort of snowballed a bit more. Did that, but I mean, still working
out for Kim Chi right now. Keeping him mad close. And the thing that I see from
Kim Chi now that Kim Chi is playing his game
He doesn't really seem to be looking at what sealer wants to do. Yeah, he's just season opportunity takes it gets that kill
Stone cold not worried at all
So on the other hand just trying to play as conditioned as possible
You see all those layers come on through but right now whether or not you can actually sneak best stock back is a different question entirely
And this is down throws especially when kimchi is this nice with the spacing making it hard
to get it hit.
Eventually going to hit that back air.
Cool tricky down D though.
Can't get much off it.
Right here and another set of these aerials is going to be able to keep this fleet in
the air but not actionable that one time that you get an aerial out it turns around everything
though.
at kill percent a single throw a single aerial could mean a death here on the other hand you know
Sielder still trying to get that first stock on the board unable to get it just too elusive right
now is kimchi definitely just running around these effective ranges that Sielder wants to be in and
just because it's so very smart now down throw not going to do anything just waiting for it
It wasn't up for him, but still getting more and more damage, right?
You still, you think you lose the stock right here, you're, you can just like, what it, and hey, let's stock up.
Yeah, I feel like we might just see like, you know, a consumed 4th throw at this point,
but 4th throw on the other hand, going to do just the same, might as well have a consumed hitbox on that one.
You know, just for funsies.
Yeah, 4th throw is a good move, 4th throw is a good move.
It's a good move, but right now, this is a good lead for Kimchi, a lot of damage on the sealer, just racking it up as well.
And kimchi not going to go too crazy looking for even more of it just saying I'm just getting my piecemeal hits here and there
Damage is damage. I don't care if I have to trade for this because I'm a full stock up
Like I definitely see the vision definitely just trying to make these consistent
These are damage that you know, you'll get not try over send a little bit and just keep it in safe
Do it and Silder's biggest issue here is having to make those approach to having to make it come back
He's a deeply terrifying player to deal with when you are not the one in the lead.
But when you can force him to approach, you get so much easier in kimchi.
He's exploiting a lot of the weaknesses of both fleet and stealer right here.
Yeah, they kind of just tend to make some more risks.
Oftentimes, do not pay off for them in those sort of deaths in the situation.
Being on stage, for example, being forward strong.
That's a 2-2 right now, 2-2.
Yeah, two, two. Game number five now, this is something that we did not anticipate.
I think a lot of people thought that Sealer would be able to come in, just sweep the floor with everyone,
because he was one of our top players for a while.
Like, I believe there was one season where he was in contention for first, and right here,
Kimchi just looking to put the heart on him, saying, hey, you haven't shown up to tournaments in a bit.
Yeah.
This is what we've been up to.
Oh, excuse me.
one situations where you knew what's the one person to hire about time to every
you know I mean you know get a little strength you feel me yeah I mean when
everyone when you leave for one day and everyone's turned into Goku right now
kimchi offstage Goku might be dying here no dragon balls to save this lion that's
funny no dragon balls at all but okay kimchi getting a little damaged off we
We need to get this kill soon or Sylder will start doing that, but doesn't get a comment right there.
Yeah, but Kimchi still moving around a lot, but this is exactly what we were talking about earlier, right?
Sylder's so much more terrifying to play against when Sylder has the lead, when he can force you to be the one to approach.
This player's so, so good at the flow charting, but right here, Kimchi in a lot of trouble.
Sylder trying to sneak back onto stage, not going to go for the ledge and not gonna survive.
I'm so surprised they're not stayed right there. I'm not sure that's their intentional, but that's rough either way
I mean, that's an interesting angle there
I genuinely would not be able to tell you whether or not I was intended or not. Yeah, but right here the
Okay, that double jump was almost terrifying for kimchi
Right here once again. Silder able to sneak back on stage getting this edge yard once again wind chime coming on through
beautiful up the timing from kimchi to dodge that but a four strong getting the
fox offstage once again. So not for too long though as we get back to the scramble
range couldn't get the confirmed off that mare though but we'll scramble
happening on both sides. Could you try getting these fireballs? Find their way in
empowered on the line but the patient's facility. Yeah the back hit of that up
here just barely putting still in a good position, but the parry on the side B putting
Kimchi in the best of them right just runs on in with that up strong we can see the crowd
just you know shouting a little bit delayed here but oh god you know still just needs one hit
get Kimchi off. Kimchi understands this right he understands it. He understands what he needs to
to do to keep him away. 27% is nothing to scoff at out of character this light.
Can this and an instant you definitely want to do. You don't want to give
sooner option to get something like this. Oh scared now. I'm a little scared now.
One road towards the ledge to that might be a big mistake on the wind.
Sean comes in clutch for Sielder. Oh my goodness. Yeah, the presence evened up
and left right now. Sielder in control. Another one of these side bees not in a
position to be carried and
Sielder right now looking for
that one opening that one in
Kimchi looking to hold on for
dear life one down throw though
not going to be able to get the
Gatlin to come through the
back air going to trade Kimchi
offstage. What's Sealer going to
do the beautiful sweet spot coming
in from Kimchi and once again
Sielder looks for an opportunity
no invincibility on that ledge
invincibility out all books
It's still not enough 132% still alive fire on the side.
Kimchi and Armstrong just call out on the jump before repair takes the stock away from Sildar.
Kimchi moving on three, two, fashion upsetting Sildar.
Yeah, the two of them share a quick hug.
They know just how much Kimchi's been grinding that matchup.
they know just how much this player has improved. Move aside old guard the new Jen is here. I'd say
new Jen. Kim she's been around for such a long time but it's so cool to see these players
making the upsets on home turf. Yeah not so cool dude. You can just tell in how they're playing
they're kind of like not only study the character matchup but the player matchup as you were talking
about knowing exactly the strategy to come a silder that's something that's super super impressive
to see it though. Exactly. I mean, kimchi making it clear who is in control now. No more will the
fleets be able to take down this monster. Love to see the the first of the studying coming off.
Love that. I want to see kimchi moving on in the bracket. Again, surprising one. Surprising one.
Yeah, I mean, sly versus silder, that was something that we saw and was like, all right, well sly
usually takes it over Sildar. That happens. Kimchi taking it over Sildar was something that is
the first of who knows how many it's going to be, right? Right. Now the question is are we going to
see this light of fire under Sildar or are we going to see this demotivate him? I would love for
him to come out to more tournaments so we'd love to see everyone coming out to our tournaments. In
In the meantime, we got a NorCal versus, uh, I will always consider Derai.
So that's okay.
That's okay.
He moved like just not very long ago, like a month or two ago.
Yeah, that's still so kind of my heart.
It felt like a year.
I feel that.
Yeah, I miss this kid.
Facts, dude.
Shout out to homie Derai.
Two homies, actually.
Sophie, the other one on the other side of this.
I love watching these two play.
They definitely have some fun sets.
Oh, yeah.
especially super combo heavy characters like Zed or Erano.
Yeah, I feel like this is like personally one of my favorite matchups in the game.
Maybe my favorite in the game, but since it feels like, I was trying to describe it as sort of,
in a sense, walk with me, it's kind of like, it's a street fighter, a re-universe kind of situation.
I totally get you, right? And in my opinion, right, as someone who has played this matchup as well
for many, many times, I look at this matchup whether or not to watch or to play, and it just
feels like a lot of these characters come in they want to do their own thing
right these two come in and they just want to hit each other exactly I hit
each other it's a neutral one playing more offensively one more play more
defensively so you can get an error right there it's all good to me right I
mean I don't know as far as I'm concerned both of them might as well be a
kuma the way how they can just kill each other immediately but we're immediately
jumping right on in is what I'd say if it wasn't okay all right right wrong
if I said wrong okay the first time no matter what I do it's always a
commentator curse I should just stop talking like the tournament explodes see
as long as I say it it won't happen I appreciate you protecting us exactly
exactly right oh good but yeah I'm trying to think of that recent sets
Excuse me, I know.
How a forbidden girl do anything.
Anyway, these two, they've played back and forth.
Yeah.
Right?
A lot of the times it's online though.
When it comes to offline sets, I don't think they have too many.
They may have played half-chancels.
But at the very least, I expect them to keep it company.
Yeah.
Right?
Sophie almost certainly the expected victory.
Yeah.
Definitely expected, but definitely been, I'll try to think,
it was definitely a memorable sometimes of like,
Derai having a surprising amount of just like denominates and sets against him.
I know there was one particular, I remember Rachel's 3-0 against Sylvie.
Oh yeah, I mean the big thing about Derai, right, is that even when the opponent is someone
who you expect to just wait before with anyone on the plan, I mean, so if he's someone who
is a mainstay in top 8 tournaments, Derai is a studier, a studier of the game, a studier
of the players, a studier of his own character, right?
More than willing to make things as
Much in his favor as physically possible just
grabs every single little thing about the character about who he's fighting and turns that into his own strength
Sophie on the other hand, I'm not as familiar with the way how she you know will study the game or look at the game
But every time I do see her on stage. She just goes crazy with it. I
I
Don't have my glasses. Well, we were sure it's something by production. I'm so sorry. I can't see
It's all I said on screen, but yeah
But yeah, no, I feel you this
Um, I feel like how Sophie plays they kind of just feel I always kind of describe them as the wrecking ball
Or they try to just play a single player game as often as possible
They want to pressure you push bonds in their face. They don't want you doing about it
She's so good at just enforcing that right? I mean every single time you see Sophie. It's
Feaster fan to say the leaves right and
Sometimes she is not having a good time and you can tell in her gameplay and sometimes she's having the time of her life
And you can tell in her opponents gameplay and by gameplay
I mean the lack of their yeah, because she is an absolute blender with this character
and Derai trying to avoid sticking the froggy toes in that glimmer.
Definitely would chop it up a little bit, not too comfortable,
but Sophie looking comfortable, starting off right now already 41%
10 seconds. Derai are you the back foot trying to
establish the footing a little bit?
Yeah, I mean, Dak is one of those moves that's going to be very high value early.
Yes.
You can be able to get the, you know, percent off, got the poison off
and most importantly, able to surpass those early floor hugs.
Now everything is going to start knocking down.
We're going to be seeing a lot more varied openings here,
but upthrow is always going to be a good option for Sophie.
Definitely leads to it a lot.
A little dicey down there.
Both sides make it back up down strong.
Barely missing.
Dry punch and needle extension.
Caught out the jump perfectly.
That's a bad line right there.
That's a strength or mono in these matchups particularly.
Zetterburn rushes you down a little bit,
but again, offstage in those almost mid-range situations,
Ronald could be annoying for him.
Yeah, a billion lines can do a lot,
But what can one lion do against a frog that learned kung-fu?
Right now Derai has Sophie offstage once again, and there's another kill three to one
Yeah, these backers down there is also coming in clutch for Derai and right now 51% we're seeing another set of
of knockdowns for Derai, oh Sophie's.
Oh my goodness, Derai, crazy, crazy stuff, not Derai again.
One opening, all it takes sometimes dude, it's so good at just blushing these situations
with Derai.
And right here, I'm not sure if it was like a controller thing or something like that.
It seems like we're taking a little bit of a breather, right?
I just want to make sure that everything's going exactly as anticipated, make sure that
everything's, you know, running as expected.
Okay.
We're getting back into, okay, for sure.
I was like, is something going on?
I don't know.
Yeah, I mean, like, we know for a fact that, uh,
that wasn't a hand war.
Right?
Yeah.
I guess we're gonna like jump off three times.
Okay.
If we went through that, and it's like, that was a hand war.
It's like the most intense that was that was a crazy hand
Just play like an eight minute game hand warm by the way
That wasn't even a one minute game to be fair they're just making up for the last time
They want to make sure that the stream goes according to time speed run. Yeah, right? You know, it's not a no
That's the issue. It's not a speed run. They're trying to make it last a little longer slow run, right? Right, right?
right a slow walk slow walk I love that crawl even I don't know there's some
babies you crawl real fast that's very true that's very true it's like a you
cannot take your eyes off of you again we had a dog on the couch earlier and
we were having some fun conversation I've never held a dog before I don't
know how to hold dogs so funny I love dogs I just don't hold on and then the
babies on the other hand I used to take care of a lot anyway no babies over here
Instead, it's going to be nothing but warriors fighting duking it out another down throw punished for Derai here
Derai is so crazy off. He feels like so elusive in terms of this offensive and defensive way
Yeah, I mean in the meantime Sophie gets one hit and Derai just
Bleeds for it 71% and counting up strong certainly would have killed but it's not gonna connect over here
I mean, Derai has Sophie offstage.
So feel right now.
We had some trouble.
I do like Sophie mixed up the recovery, though,
making it hard as possible for Derai to do much.
It's kind of rare for Rana, especially getting
kept with this very good at getting
his edge guard through at Sophie.
The mix up is clean.
In the meantime, tethering back to stage with that bubble.
Derai right now looking for some sort of opportunity.
And no.
Oh, that's so unfortunate.
No tag.
So unfortunate.
Yeah, I mean, like, probably caught Dari in a tough spot
to say the least, but up strong, going to be able to even things
back up.
But Sophie now, you know, positioned with more, you know,
more stocks, more control than she's had in a hot minute.
Yeah, definitely taking control of the momentum.
Oh, well, maybe the old good old commentators.
Why do you speak?
Why do you say that?
I don't know.
We just got to watch it get quiet.
this. Why do we say anything?
Okay, I guess we're last top of both sides.
Oh, God, and the right side of the stage
extremely lethal to both of these players.
Just going to quarantine that one and play on the left side
instead, so if you're going to be able to sneak right on by
right here, the beautiful floor huff on that fireball.
Going to be paying off David as 90% already on this fire line.
So much of that was just that one interaction, bro.
So good at just continuing that momentum.
Now Sophie kind of scrambling a little bit to get a hit.
Force coming under Ry.
The Ry taking advantage of that.
Back air twice.
Thank you, leg out.
You cannot come back.
Sophie knows it.
Off the side.
The Ry going up.
Two, oh.
Two games under Ry's belt against Sofilo.
You know, one of the higher seats in the tournament,
if not the highest, I haven't checked the seating.
But what I am checking is this set.
And what this set tells us is,
Dry has been studying. Oh, yeah
You said yourself dude. It's a studier a grinder for sure. No
Dorky, dude
No, but it's definitely it shows for sure how bro just kind of often just will sit there and kind of adapt what you're doing on the fly and just know
So you know
Yeah, and another one of these down throws into up strong
Just gonna be able to get all that early percent off and the moment that you can get your opponent pass on these early percent
where Rana really begins to shine.
So feel on the other hand,
showing exactly why you cannot sleep on her.
Indeed, I love the little cross up
the grab situation right there.
But every time you get to offensive
or offensive situation,
well, it's so scary because it's so much
but dry again, it's good to just stink out of them
and there's being good defensively.
You can see it.
So feel right now.
She's just trying to find some sort of way in,
trying to find some opportunity, 58% on the frog,
not kill percent just yet,
But at the very least, putting Derai into an uncomfortable position.
It was definitely, but it sneaks back on stage, though, under Sophie's nose,
and now Sophie's the one offstage.
Good angle. Good angle, yeah, Alex.
Yeah, down tilt coming in from Sefila here,
who's tried to find some opportunity to get past this Rano,
but a beautiful up strong going to get shielded.
The down throw for Der, going to continue Derai's winning position.
It's so interesting because it feels like whenever Derai sort of focusing on playing these footsies and Sophie decides to play
He just says okay, I'm gonna go on here
And this it makes up the tempo on him and it works out for him
Yeah, I mean so feel you can see she's still in this she's still playing for it
She still has these opportunities 51% on the Zetterburn is nothing to stop at but it's still Zetterburn
That is not any Zetterburn if so feel one of if not the best Zetterburn
Yeah, this is um how's people to get these combos going like they usually can though this game at least oh my goodness
No attack on that is so unfortunate as the ride gets the last stock potentially of these set
Could be a potential 3-0 here use a jump though. So I have water room to get some damage
Yeah, I'm the bubble stall just gonna work out perfectly for their eye been able to utilize those since rivals one
But in the end two stocks to zero still needs to get some sort of extra credit here one
Ford air sweet spot going to put Sophie in a rough spot
Do you see her sit up a little after getting that up strong only 10% on the Zetter and that's easy to make up
Confidence is back on it. You see it in their play style right now jumping into these options the ride
Even more offensive right now, but who gets a big hit though tech chase dash tag for their own you in a rough spot
Oh, and there's the 40. You cannot get back to Rai is going to take that over Sophie three. Oh
And to Rai with a dominant performance going to be able to put the rano on the board and keep him there
100% always a pleasure watching on those rano W does so crazy to stick stuff with his characters in general in terms of just their
how clean the movement is, when the punch game is, and just their decision-making against like the various players.
And the reason why it's so impressive is because it's against a player like Sophie, right?
Yeah.
We've seen how far she's pushed that character.
We've seen how impressive she has been with that Zettaburn each and every time, and
derived with a 3-0 is not something that we expect to see.
It's crazy for sure.
I think we told the Snellas...
Okay, for sure. Well, it's been a fun time. We're getting some more of the bracket. Do not go anywhere
That's you you up there in your cinnamon toast crunch right there on your couch
I
Queens Enbies all your royalty in the scene you know what it be it's the end
on the mic joined by the one the only the gingerous man on the block jet the
jenga god welcome to top eight yeah I mean I think I'm the only one who even
is ginger in the venue so you definitely need to be the number one I mean my
beard has some red in it a little bit a little bit
there with a little bit of red hair too a little bit of red hair yeah shout out
but yeah I mean we're gonna be here and we're gonna be doing some some top eight
obviously you know this is uh this is what we've been waiting for all day this
Who's getting a big money man?
Big money!
5K?
This is a pretty impressive pop-up.
Shout out Ludwig, making this stuff happen.
The mogul moves.
But yeah, I mean, we have a pretty interesting matchup to be starting off with.
Obviously, we got Sly versus Elky, SoCal versus NorCal.
We can see a bit of that.
I mean, the ride, still spiritually SoCal, even though it just moved up to the PNW.
But I mean, just taking out Sophie right before this in a pretty dominating fashion.
it was a tough set. It was definitely, to be fair, like Rano Zedr, that's one of the few matchups where like Zedr truly struggles like you can actually say that.
I just got to roll my eyes a little bit, Zedr struggling.
I said it, it's one of the like only matchups. There's not many, there's not many. It's like Rano.
And that's it.
We can talk about that later.
For now, we are into Elkies versus Sly.
And we see Elkies not even messing around
with the long reign at the beginning.
We have the Maple, the Tread and Troop
in there for a while.
This is definitely a matchup that Elkies has
a bit of experience in that it's
traditionally considered fairly hard for the character.
Yeah, so yes and no.
There's also the bits and pieces where
there was that time period of running away,
playing the more campy Maple.
of if Sly does this, if Sly can do this, it becomes a problem.
Yeah, I mean, there's a lot that you have in the matchup
as Claire, just in terms of combos,
like so many kill confirms that just kill so early
and you can just rub a lot of what Elkies is trying to do
in neutral, so it's just a very difficult proposition
to be able to first find the openings
and then also be able to finish those off
because you don't quite have the same ability
to edge guard as some of the other characters do,
but I mean, Elkies would be trying her damnedest.
She always will look there's one thing I know about Elkies and she wants that kill
She's going to be off stage at all times. She gets the near immediately going for the side or the side smash doesn't get it instead
Sly I love that this neutral beat to stall just a little bit longer to get the kill right afterwards in the reversal
Yeah, a little bit of stall action also a bit of counter hit potential if they were coming in on the
You know if they're coming in with an aggressive option it would have disrupted that as well due to the destroy it
We'll see what the tether does get to confirm gets an error top
So, you know, holding up there, that's a little bit of a 50-50, not quite a true one anymore due to some of the changes.
But now we'll see how this combo ends up going.
Oh, now this is disastrous for Elkies, but maybe just to get below the pop warm.
And I think maybe that was supposed to be a shield drop down here, potentially, to cover below.
But it didn't work out for Sly, and now it's a bit of a turnaround.
So I know one of the things you'll notice about Elkies is Maple in specific compared to a lot of other Maples.
She doesn't opt to extend in some of the ways that a lot of other maples go if she has lost the mark
Her one thing that she always wants there is that mark that have a recovery the grapple and everything
Whatever it might be she wants it and immediately gonna put you off stage look for the side beam
And it also helps with that reset gets the upbeat
We are in a strong advantage state, but kind of give it a little bit early
Yeah
one of my favorite parts also about her edge guard pull sequence is what she she'll do is she'll go out there and
and she'll air dodge as a stall aggressively.
As opposed to using it to her cover,
she'll be like, I'm gonna use this to stall out here
to wait for your resources to deplete
so that I can go ahead and finish off the kill.
What she does, they're picking it up on slide.
Pretty important game here, just to set the tempo
as well as, you know, just the fact
that it's against the number one seed in the bracket,
something that you're always terrified of, yeah.
Yeah, that one still exists sometimes.
Back to left, Sean.
That is a good start.
Am I going fourth or am I going back?
No, they removed a 50-50 on that one.
They did?
Yeah, it's not quite a 50-50.
Alright, I'm just asked. I'm just bad at this game.
I mean, that's not your fault, you know?
Everyone is.
Except for these guys.
Except for Elkie's and Sly's.
They're the two good players.
Ooh, Downstrong, of course, going to be able to clip.
Oh, missed out on the position.
Oh, that extra was just a hair off from hitting
and Elkie's able to get back to center stage.
92% left off of the fluid.
Oh, no, it's not enough. It's like it's another
But doesn't get the baby dash before the four strong now once again
They're battling in this neutral game, but a dash attack on shield
You hate to see it happen from Elkies one more chance to get back here that strong
We can't means once again Elkies is somehow back on the stage the fifth time is not the charm
And slight doesn't not find the come he'll confirm again, but the town strong twice in a row wraps up and taps up
I mean that is just a little bit of what you like to see out of Elkies
I mean she is a clutch player in a lot of these circumstances
She's gonna find we's a little way back on the stage and get you know get the job done
There there was some nerves at the end of that game. Yeah, we saw multiple times
How many kill confirms were dropped? That was crazy. Three from Sly and I think two from Elkies
And so like it's not even like a one-sided thing both these players
you could see how fearful they were of each other's aggression because like even Elkie's getting popped on that plate with the
Whiffed up strong from Sly immediately rolls in because she's so horrified of what might be to come of like a
Nair or another up tilt and so just trying to get out of there and immediately just gets hit once again
And it was that same back and forth between the two of them were both of them were so stressed understanding that either one of
Them could get the kill at any moment
Yeah, and now we are gonna see back on good. I tell them not changing anything up here
I do like this or so. I think the stage was actually pretty beneficial for him
It was just the Elkies is kind of an X factor in a lot of cases like she is she there's huge inflection points in her play where she can either
She can do something that's so risky that it might work
Work out for her and she might get a massive stock advantage or you know, she might just instantly die
But that's also like the slide factor right like he wasn't quite hitting his bull confirms earlier
But now he got that monster one. I mean, yeah
Yeah, that's kind of the thing with Sly, he's been grinding a hell, a hell load with Rungunchu.
And so like, I know there were a couple of things where he told me about, like, they figured out for it here to side B to be a true confirm and everything.
And there's some gruesome stuff that that player base specifically comes up with.
And so Sly is one of those big riders.
Yeah, and we see, again, Othi's putting out Terry to be able to tether back to it.
that will plant there on the edge.
Very good way to set up an edge guard,
but a big commitment on that forward strong
means Alkes is going to find herself off stage once again,
not able to take advantage of it.
Sly, forward air sets up really well.
Let's see what the edge guard is.
Deep fair, but once again, the Terry actually set up
in a weird spot and makes it so Sly can just punish,
immediately turn the situation around,
and now she's off stage.
Okay, does try to put something together,
But this is just this is not where you want to be when you when you're a heck when you're behind like this
Yeah, and your your opponents all the way at 164s
You need to be able to find these still confirms like in a reasonable period once I yeah
Tethered Co. Government 160 sure, but like what look where you are right now
This is not the shape she wants to be in. It's a huge problem, especially like oh my god
Okay, no double fair right there didn't have the jump position right in the way that she wanted everything with that fastball
Still though, we're in advantage here. We're trying to reset get the seed going
It's an uphill climb, but Elkies is a player that is not too afraid of those
So hard with these big hitboxes coming out you get copied fair. Just what what are you supposed to do there?
Yeah, that's one of those
Situations where sly had a bunch of options that he could have gone for and was just able to you know choose one that worked out
All right, let's see down strong might set up for a good position and oh
Oh Terry Terry stayed alive. Look at that the little assist. I did not expect that one. That was cool
Yeah, I know that was beautifully done by Elkies and now in a game that was full stock behind
We are back on pace 21 to 22 now slide keep the pressure up dropping in a little bit
And this is a lot of Elkies to reopen the situation here
But both these players just struggling to go ahead and break through some of that defense the floor hugs the crouch cancels into the shield
And everything to get the reversals have been a difficult thing
Yeah, I mean that exact spot was what I was talking about where
Elkies, Elkies is a player that has many inflection points in her game
Like you know something like this could just end the set but she could also kill at any given point
So you see the dash tech the other direction. What a smart idea, but that one a little ill-advised
These this has been so many times where in these clutch circumstances
Elkies has thrown out a dash tech on shield that just ends up getting punished from very hard
So I'm a little bit wary for using those in neutral, but yeah, yeah, I mean
tippers tippers are good tippers just a little just a little good i love how slide was starting to play around like as you mentioned the dash attacks were getting punished and a lot of that was the way slide was positioning when he wanted to get aggressive instead of just going head leaning full in it was that short hop in place with the
Elkes if she tried to get aggressive over top of him with like the border and then immediately on recognition that hey
She's just dash dancing grounded
Let me just shield try to catch a dash attack try to catch a side view right here
And so having that recognition of how Elkes aggression is coming through inside a neutral to be able to go ahead and punch that
Huge storyline going forward in this set
Yep, and oh my god
That's a bit of a disaster of a starter for Elkies just very similar to the last game where just one mistake costs her so much
And now she's picking something up. She's she's setting herself up for a good position
But last time we saw, you know, 160% before she takes the first stop
We really need to see a different story here if the game result is going to be different
See what she goes for. Yeah, just a perfectly sweet spot on the edge for sly
Once again, not really something that Elkies is found or saved, able to cover.
It's just this, you know, being able to hug close to the ledge and make sure that
anytime you're set up wrong, you can just get tech, but oh, okay, here's a
big combo from Sly. Jump used, air dodge used, last chance here to get back. Sly
gets the tip or near into downtrend, almost killing off the top, but another
chance for Elkies. Let's see, one, two, three resources used, and this is just a
Rinse repeat for a side who by themselves just easily able to know not able to take the stock there you in
Just got a little bit aggressive and wanting it
But at the same time you might as well pull that trigger you're up at full stock and now you're up with three stocks to one
This is where it gets extra scary because you're allowing slide to just rinse and repeat those edge guards
And now we got the combo game pulling through we got a cool 27 still living despite catching a brutal hand of that up
Be now are we gonna be able to make it back? No, we are finally taking that stock really necessary for LT here
Yeah, I mean the ones again. This is like a not a repeatable circumstance, right?
I like to think about in these long best of five sets
What is that? What are the actions that are repeatable and something that you can be able to do again and again to make the
To make your match work and right now the way the way it's been going down
It looks like the the repeatable actions are all on slide side able to get very consistent damage in these off-stage setups
as well as consistent kill confirms,
whereas Alki's just sort of scrapping,
hoping eventually something works out.
Yeah, that's going to be a big problem
when you're down this far behind, gets the F strong,
going to be able to confirm it into the down strong
with the wrap and everything.
So this is still doable, especially as a player like Alki's,
who's very comfortable inside of that advantage,
I love that we're actually playing a lot slower
inside of this neutral right now.
Pop of the seeds, just staying away.
You know, okay, trying to seed,
but in exchange you get up tilted,
You get up tilted and that could have been the death of Elke's and might be still here
Just not getting the tipper on the down strong still a chance to come back in this game
We know that she hasn't in her to randomly get a kill in any circumstance, but I mean it's it hasn't really been proven yet
We've only seen it once versus on the other side Sly has had so many opportunities to just and
Elke's life the border. It's a hair off and that means oh back to stage
the back airsons very high up so she has another chance.
Trying to go ahead and link that down to the side.
They just kind of quite find it.
Now at this point, just to grab.
All right, we're putting you in the corner.
Can we?
Okay, good tech, good tech.
She gets out of there, but doesn't have a jump now.
And does manage to get around that town.
So that might have been her time jet.
Down air purple off the top.
Back air, back air purple.
That was back air?
Yeah, that was back air.
That's back here, okay, yeah, that thing down below.
It's like, that looked like down there.
Back here off the top, it makes way more sense.
Yeah, yeah.
Dude, that was so tough.
And I think there was a point that you summed it up with,
where Sly was doing a really good job
of understanding how to rinse, repeat advantage state,
make sure that he was getting the most out of it,
whether that was 50, 70%,
he was obtaining that every time.
Meanwhile, Elkies was really struggling
to find ways to reset the advantage state,
and was dropping a lot of these moments
where it could have been stocks.
That was the whole reason why we lost game number three right there.
Yeah, these right?
Well, I mean that and, you know, dying at 40 at the beginning of the game.
Yeah, that that also was a bad like she's she's in there, right?
Like, yeah, we saw the first game.
She didn't die at 40 at the beginning of the game, and then she won.
And then the other two, she died like at 40 and it was 60, but it was a combo from like 10.
Yeah, so.
You know, I mean, it does it does help.
The solutions are there, you know, and so far we're finding them.
Oh side be back to go ahead and try to get the tech days didn't need it. We get the forward air. You're dead
You're going. Yeah. Okay. I like what I'm seeing from Elkies. You're just on that platform
He will be an absolute menace that I really like that that reset on the platform though
So that was super nice, but I mean we'll see if she can she can hold on to this lead slide picking up an edge guard situation
And down air. Yeah, that's that's gonna do it
All you need is one all you need is one baby
All right, ooh, with on the dash attack, that's the thing, you can always go ahead and crouch cancel or floor hug it if you're close enough to the ground.
Now at this point, Sly just maintaining good positioning with that nair gets the side view for a little bit of extra chip damage, but we're not seeing as big of the pickups as earlier right now.
Maybe Elkie's just finding some of that defensive play necessary to fight off against player.
Yeah, and another thing I'm seeing out of this is every time that Sly gets hit off stage, he's throwing out a fianted aerial to block off Elkie's from going for like a forward air.
And it's it's been working most of the time, but I'm wondering if this is something that Elkie's gonna keep track of and be like
Okay, I know that he's gonna throw out a tornado here. I can react and do it after that
We'll see though if that ends up coming to fruition. She's sort of just cool. Wow, okay, okay
I managed to catch the DI in that's one of the risks of going against Elkie's in any spots
She she will not afraid to let those strong spin
Well, it was also just good awareness go for the F till first right because you know that they're afraid of like dying early from the
from the side strong or the down strong interview.
Just go ahead, Eftill, build DI and you get to kill
none the less because that just wasn't aware
of what the survival DI was in the scenario.
Down strong gonna be able to go ahead
and get that pick up though.
Yeah, it's such a tough ask to be hanging with Sly
when he just has so many times
that he just has random kills, right?
It's like, how did he get a kill out of there?
Oh yeah, I got jabbed center stage at like 90.
Nice player, buddy.
Like that's how it goes down sometimes.
Hey, up throw, fair.
So that's this edge guard situation.
Once again, forward strung.
This time it's a sweet spot.
Not gonna be getting that freebie like she got last time.
And now the pickups are there.
Got the grab, which removes the seed
and it's just a little bit of juggling
with these sour up bears,
but still a chance here for,
oh, he's just down and reaches through the platform
and then back hit it.
Does not confirm on the down strung.
Big opening with the up throw, fair.
How is she going to try to end this does just go for an empty land grab? That was insane
And oh my god, so close multiple times that the downstroke does secure the stock and Elkies brings this to a game five
It's the number one seed in the bracket slide
That that was tough that that was a tough moment right there and Elkies just made sure not to drop that advantage
It right down. That was crazy dude. That was disgusting
having the miss on the tether to get like the nair and everything because you put yourself
above and set it to the side and everything.
That was like an intentional non-confirm, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, it was something that we just knew that there was going to be, like, you don't get
a confirm of that percent.
So she was going for it positionally, right?
She was like, I'm going to take this position and I consider this as an advantage position
because I know that even though like Clarence is really good below you in that spot, he
can't afford to throw it on there.
So it was a tactical choice.
But it didn't end up panning out and then there was a bunch of just crazy back and
forwards until she got the near down strong.
So really nice showing there.
And I really like the strategy that she has of not dying at 40 at the beginning of everything.
It's like very good.
Yeah.
The times that she has died at 40 at the beginning of the game, she's lost and the times that
she hasn't, she's won.
I mean, it's an incredible, incredible strategy.
I'm thinking of incredible strategies.
We got the tech chases coming through from slides, just wave dashing in.
Let me see if I can get the grab or if I'm going to have to, you know, off for the downhill
or whatever now at this point just let me get off of those platforms you never
want to get logs on those against LPS we saw what happened that last game you
know if you get caught there it's a real bad but I mean same could be said
against lie like these up tilts cover the platform so well when she messes she
messes it up she doesn't get that the the reset she was looking for and that's a
that's a big deal going for an early tether I like that because that was
right as like grab the ledge so we didn't have quite the time to react to it
So huge pick up there. Let's see what she's going for now
Let's grab. Yeah, that was so okay
I love the fact that she even positioned to scare sly in the moment
We're like am I gonna go for this forward air real quick
And that made sly worried enough that he went lower
Causing it to where LTS could just go ahead get the ledge hang call it a day now this one
We're back in neutral Rose trying to get the pickup off of those platforms. There's a reason why we're on hold over, right?
Yeah, exactly
I mean, it's but it hasn't been working out for him and now as we see
Elkies has been picking up a lot of things that she hasn't earlier up tilt catch out of the platform
It's the nerve and a slide off from from slide means he is able to get out of there
And once again Elkies is able to thread the needle get through that and get it down to fair slice and stretch your bad position
Now let's see what she can do near fair. Yes
That is another waltz up for her so she can come back to the stage and she's up the restocks to uno right now
Now is just, Sly is in a disaster of a position.
Okay, we got, we got the wrap, we got the grab.
Immediately reset it once again.
We're gonna send it right back.
It's seed, Nair.
That is the name of the game.
We are just racking up the damage,
making sure that we can get the rewrap,
the reset when we need it.
Now, that Nair not gonna be able to kill
because we have the wrap.
This is going so bad right now for Sly.
He's coming out to play and Sly,
forced to tech in the quarter, gets grabbed on the wrap.
Oh, she's so deep but she's fine. She's still fine. Oh, okay that that'll do it
Yeah, I was able to hit ball then the fair to make sure that it's only a single connection
But now I mean slide work cut out for him, but he has a sword
He knows how to cut right now
It's just a matter of can he do can he do what he did a couple of times and take this stock
Insanely early for something the corner not gonna connect and now Elkes has the rap, but it's quickly removed by
I had to grab.
Oh my gosh, such an intense moment here right now.
Slide needs to make everything go right in that.
It's not going to happen as the down strong connects.
And Elkies is going to be moving on in the bracket.
Huge applause for the crowd.
Elkies with a little tiny bop on, hands up in the air.
You know she's happy about it.
Let me get my cheers.
Yeah, I'm going to get the cheers from the crowd.
Casual but cool.
I love the way Elkies was playing.
I feel like the story of that set, by the end of it, truly was Elkie's defense, right?
Starting to just mix the recoveries and everything.
Now, real quick, we do gotta go a lot better, too, throughout the set.
I wasn't mentioning it a lot, because it's sort of a lot to take in at the moment, but like, wow.
Like, early on, she was just getting hit with a lot of, you know, these combos that look true, as Claren,
but if you do a little bit of SDI, it makes it not quite true.
But anyway, you go ahead.
You know, phenomenally done.
That being said, we do got to go ahead and cut you a quick break
that way we can go ahead and set up for the rest of coffee.
So hey, stay tuned.
This shit going to get lit.
You're right back.
of
What a day here today job. Yeah, I know I mean we've had so much
California talent in general so Cal talent on top right we're getting two so Cal members playing with us in a bit
But yes, yeah, this is this is gonna be a banger set coming up
To two massive tech company like upsets. Yes, oh, yeah
one of them on my own doing in the other one from just the
Kimchi's run today. People have been tuning in and watching throughout this entire bracket.
Kimchi's run has been generational. He 3-0 potatoes, he beats T-Rex, game five as well,
and then proceeded to beat Sealer. Kimchi's a grinder. Every single time I see him in the
So Cal BC he's either having a coaching session or he's grinding with someone right this man
Loves this game studies this game plays this game lives breeds and dies by this game
The question is is he going to sit down and die against this galvan because great
Majin Miku very very good player on the Olympia the orcane the galvan, but right here
We're seeing also the person to take me the losers, right?
I mean this player is so so good when he has a read on what his opponent likes to do
But we can see right here one thing that Majinmaiku loves to do is that Saibii and Galvan's pretty dang good with that move
And doing it for
Oh, oh, no, yes.
Yes.
All right, there we go.
Dealing with Galvan and Zedr can be incredibly difficult with how oppressive Galvan is at
the ledge.
Yeah.
Like you really struggle to get back because Galvan back there is undue in the video game
at the ledge.
It is oppressive.
Yeah.
And as Zedr who just wants to make it back and it's so easy to edge guard, having it
having a move that's as good as it is, there's just no reason not to speak.
Yeah, we're not seeing too much ledge over here, this is just all on stage play and right now Majin Miku almost taking off stage.
Yeah, it's a very smart position and just not getting to that what a win condition, that's crazy.
You're at 100 plus percent and you're still throwing it out in neutral.
There's no fear margin will press buttons. That is how he how he clutched out our side
You'll just rip buttons and you know it might work. It might work. It might get me in five place characters with the very good buttons
That plays great buttons. You should see as Lorena as well
He's been worked on this Lorena. I've come across in ranked a few times and it has not made me happy
I haven't lost to it yet, but it's funny way to do it. Yeah
Yeah, but it's an inevitability at this point. You can see Majin Miku still keeping
Kimchi on the back foot 65% on the center and you can see kimchi
Very much like, you know a very stable player very much like a studier just picks correct options
Majin Miku says yeah, but like this is a really good one
What if I press it again surely surely this time it's just gonna work
definitely the next to the button
pushers that kind of
unpredictability is definitely scary to go against
the two there are two players that work well in their own rights
which one which one's gonna work this time
oh parry it yep there we go
no you can't drop those on go maybe you need those just shine up
That being said, I think he's gonna at least bring us back.
I think, I think, hey, getting the T-Rex win and the Sielder win back to back, there's
so much momentum in Kim Chee's favor.
This is definitely his breakout tournament and you can feel how much he wants it.
Absolutely.
Like, there's been so much confidence in this room.
He walked up after beating T-Rex like that and he's like, yeah, I'm gonna beat Sielder
next and what do you know so awesome he beats you like yeah that's literally
willing this run into existence yeah and he's continuing to run away with it 72
to 72 you cannot ask for a more even match grabbed out of the side view for
there going to be able to take the scary spot for galvan but able to snipe his way
out. Looked at her. Oh, you're dead. No, no. After getting it earlier to reverse it
forward there. Barely not enough. We get this edge guard though. Another. Wow. I've never
seen the trailer happen like that. Out of the GameStop trade in a half with back throw,
going to be quitting Majin Miku offstage. Another one of these ethos trying to come through.
Yep. Oh, Mr. Ledge. Just anything to waste these resources. Yeah. Downstrock please.
this please ah forthrow this is this is so scary this is this is a we're at the
old okay that's not getting there you don't want to leave food in a plate like
that bro no I'm not I'm not trying to cheer for kimchi or Majiniku but I'm
ready for kimchi. Majin knocked me out of Bracket. No now you you have to want
Modjuns would do better, so it makes you look better.
That's true.
Yeah, that is true.
And you know what?
Modjun won the last melting pot as well.
So it's not to say that Modjun isn't deserving,
isn't an incredibly good player.
He absolutely is and more than deserves it.
But especially since this is effectively
kimchi Cinderella run, I would love nothing more than,
especially after the Wednesdays wrapped up today,
to come back and just knock the person out
that sent them to losers.
Yeah, you don't.
I think that would be very historic.
Yeah, it's a it's a Cinderella run and a half and you don't want the evil stepmother to win
No, right here kimchi as we can see just running away with so much of this damage
But a single misstep and Majin Miku just goes right back into the swing of things and I was saying earlier
I'm not cheering for kimchi or anything like that. It's just
Sometimes there's this food that's just left on the table and he just kind of stares it down
He doesn't quite manage to seal it out. You don't want to see someone losing off of that
Yeah, it seems like some time just a bit of fear against kimchi. They're like them coming up
Mm-hmm. I kind of like holding back in the punch came a little bit. See yeah, because you're so scared to get reversal
Yes, right because like it's as simple as that. Yes, a random a random there comes out a random backer comes out in the middle
Of your damage that you think you're able to push a little bit more and then boom your stock's gone
Exactly like it like those moves come out so fast and they are
That they're such such look at where where he is now off of that single back there
He's in the blender and he's gonna get cooked. Oh my
Yeah, I don't even know he's in the blender. He's being chased by the blender at this point because you know
Imagine Miku as we've said so so good at hitting these buttons. Yeah, just so so good at knowing
That was nasty insane, I think someone's unhappy about one last game
Galvan after, but I mean, this, that was a statement.
How dare you?
Generally, how dare you question Majin Niku?
I see that Majin Luz, he always goes to Orcane, without fail.
It's his fallback, it's his bread and butter, his Orcane is a war cry.
Every Niku is canon, this Galvan is a canon outweigh character.
I can play side bets on whether he emotes, if he wins this.
Should we do that?
No.
To the people watching this at home, a good lore about Majin is that he emotes on people
IRL.
It's all meant in good fun.
It's in good fun.
This is not like true smack talk.
not a single negative home in this kid's body. He is a bundle of joy and energy but like yeah he will
emote on you IRL and it is incredibly tilting if you're the person who lost but I do love it. I
think it is great great showsmanship for the camera not so much for the player right next to you so
I'll word it. Yeah but right now kimchi on the receiving end of something that showsmanship
Like much of me could just putting on an absolute clinic here so much damage on the center
Like it feels like it's been super scramble heavy both last game in the game so far
It feels like it's mostly been to Miku's benefit. Oh, yeah
I mean Calvin loves to scrap as this is disadvantages like like we were saying before
Surprisingly fast as a heavy and his advantage is so good. Oh, yeah
What is that who needs to grab a ledge just grab this lion disadvantage isn't real lion also starts with L
Yeah, no
I definitely would like to see kimchi sort of like slow the game down a little bit more because my amigo
Seals incredibly comfortable playing at this basic. Yep, and there we go fast stock trade only 24% through his name
This is a pretty even game
Very very realistic for foreign to come out on top of this. Yeah, I mean
It's exactly like what you're saying black tomorrow, right?
The lot of these scramble situations seem to come out in Majin Miku's favor as long as Kim
She can slow things down. Yeah, remember walk-up do nothing comes out on frame zero shine comes out on frame two
We're seeing a lot of that. Yeah, you slow things down you speed it up
You just have to play at your pace you cannot play to Majin Miku's pace and you're seeing
You can't match this guy's pace
is is a character. He's so good. He's so good. Yeah. Bro, it's scary. Yeah. Sometimes
you're like both and he's that is insane obviously as well. Of course. What's being
highlighted here is just balls of the walls advantage state where you don't get to do
much if you're if you're sitting in it. You just pray that you can oh contraption. Oh
We need to hit those. We need to hit those.
Gotta, gotta attack them.
Now, this is that. That's, that's the momentum I think Kim Chi needed.
They're right back at you.
Great dash back. He's finding the hits now.
Just clipped by that tilt.
Barely to.
Right, but, right here. Now we're starting to play a little bit more neutral.
Now we're starting to slow things down a bit.
And who's in control? Kim Chi.
It's exactly what we were talking about earlier.
Right.
Dude, the dashbacks have been so useful for him.
another one of these two being so much more patient in these neutral spots
awesome you're not dropping this edge guard
drop that why would you say that
I'm not trying to commentator curse
that is on them for that
listen listen if he drops it
that's how we know we're coming
he drops it he drops it
how dare we try to guess these two players that we've watched
we've watched play how many yeah I mean like it's two to one it's
modding me who's loser sock tournament life this is the balance here this is
this one player is coming out at seventh on this crazy action yeah yeah a boat
get both of them are playing special a heating so Cal's just stacked man so Cal's
was an evil and messed up place.
It is.
Why is it that people here will go top 32 at Evo
and get stuck in our amy brackets?
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Overcommended, Miku.
Bro was trying to cook and now he might be dead for that.
Great patience.
Great patience from Kimchi.
Kind of resulted in that overzealous Ishkard.
It's pretty much right there.
Good capitalization off that mistake from Kim Chi, and also playing Paceball.
First like real lead we've seen from Kim Chi.
Yeah, but we're seeing the pace speed up a little bit.
And Majin Miku, as we know, very very good at playing at these fast speeds.
Kim Chi, try to oblige though.
Fourth throw, Kiki, King Kong, that's real.
Forward throw is such a crazy pick.
So insane.
It's so good.
You either up throw and you get to take them for a ride or you forward throw and if they thought they were gonna up throw
Like it's like a four-wheel. Yeah
It's a matter. It's a solution of free choice. I need just like give us a shout-up. Majin Miku's SDI. What the hell is this monster?
This man just went straight through the Zetterberg and he doesn't care. He will claw his way through
You want he wants to press that button and by God he's gonna press that button
We caught the resources to clean angle though. It's an interesting choice. It's still working out for him
But very scary situation. Oh boy
Just barely
Oh, barely has given me G for it.
Yep.
Oh!
Dunked a kid.
Going for the dare.
You really can't just do that against Galvan.
That's the hidden sauce is like, it's not cool.
It's actually just optimal to just go above and just rip a dare.
Like, what's he going to do?
I still enjoy it every time.
It's great.
Oh yeah, no.
It's cathartic.
It truly is cathartic.
Yeah.
Just winners side life, not even winners side, losers side life.
Yeah, no this is tournament life.
39% on kimchi though.
Scary situation.
That's one grab.
We see two more, we see a kill.
That's one more.
We missed that down tilt.
Keeping the pressure on kimchi, portion of the backflips.
There's a hit though.
Not much off vids, tech chase.
Big forward throw, headbutt.
Empower, gets a damage off.
This is scary. This is scary.
For the anti-air though, the off-stage, use the jump. I don't think you make it back.
Oh, you saved him! You saved him! You saved him!
Oh no.
Oh my god!
And the 4th strong, Kimchi, 3-1 over Majiniku. The Cinderella run stays alive.
Hi.
Nice to meet you.
Hey, dude.
This is crazy incredible.
How many fairy godmothers does this man have?
You know, I want to say it's some fairy godmother,
some miracle, but truly, this is a man I knew should be
on my radar for so long for the exact reason
that he is one of the few people I have seen who knows how
to learn.
He knows how to grind.
There's so many people in the platform fighter community
and just another essence of my life where I see them go in
and they just want to push buttons
and think eventually I'll absorb all this information.
So this guy learns, this guy treats it like a college class.
Okay, for sure.
All right.
But yeah, I think we're going on a quick break.
So I'm not sure if it's a breaker or not.
Either way.
Yeah, regardless, we appreciate you guys being here
And stay tuned, we'll have some more matches soon.
Continuing Kim Choo-Sung to roll around.
All right, I know look we look way different, but it is still black Amar and anti here pretty use some more rivals made there, too
You know how it is
I go of course, you know, it's black Amar and it's it's I know it's just uh, you know
It's back to jet me in we had to take a quick break because our our dinner got here a little bit late
Yeah, we got it got a state fueled up for all of this stuff on stream. You know how it is
It's a lot of work. I don't know about y'all at home, but I eat food
I found my phone.
Hell yeah.
I found your phone.
You eat food?
You're so related.
I eat food.
I'm so relatable.
It's almost like I could be you, you know.
You could be me.
Or you could be a Crag Ditto.
I could be a Crag Ditto.
You know, I have been a Crag Ditto plenty of times and I am very excited to see this.
I have actually played both of these players in the Crag Ditto at least a couple times.
So you are the best caster to do this and if you do anything worse than me, you're a
appointment is what you're saying. Sure. I'm glad you agree. I don't even know about these players.
What's the difference between the two of them? Well, one of them has long hair and one of them
has short hair and that is the only difference. Only difference. No, I would say, you know,
St. Pat is strictly speaking, you know, the higher the higher seated guy, you know, the person you'd
expect to win and the person who's also very practiced in the crag, you know, I remember he has,
He has some good crag wins. He beat Garfield. I believe it's Genesis
Definitely a lot of experience on that front, but he also trains the crags a lot
so like the fact that we're seeing things like this is a you know a pretty good evidence that you know
He's he's trading up for you like a dog. He's always out there coaching
I've gotten some coaching from him as well
So he's trading the secrets around which means the secrets gonna be used against him
Yeah, that is a scary thing
But it's a very beautiful thing to have right now now getting mad aggressive right there inside of that corner
Can't quite nail it instead TLD just let it that rock rip and you know what sometimes you're gonna get wobbled by a rock
I know and right now the the one who's getting wobbled the most is st. Pat
Let's see how he goes to this edge card. Yeah, there we go turned around on even using his own platform against him
That is one of the dangers going off stage in the matchup
I mean it is absolutely crazy way to go down
We see the crowd with a little bit of the blade reaction there. They're watching the the stream
And oh yeah, it's all right. All right, just forcing his way through with that
But again huge ups on these just cargo grabs
It feels like that has been the story of what Nate was making this match of good or three-legged dog
I mean and there's gonna be a lot of work to be put in to come back into this
But right now with the rock in hand you guys you get caught with your hand at cookie jar like that
It's dangerous, but same pot not able to capitalize not at all now TLD right on out there. This is gonna be yeah
You're just dead. You're probably dead
It was close. It was really close.
I knew I felt it. I felt it in my bones.
Yeah, no, that was just very difficult, specifically within disadvantage for St.
Pell, right? Like the one time, bro, even went deep out there immediately
reversal and three like a dog kept that same momentum consistently over the
whole game, whether it was earlier on with the block wobbling later on with
that immediate jump out to stop you from pilloring too high, right?
Yeah, and one thing that we're going to have to be super aware of is this exact thing.
Just getting kidnapped off stage with that neutral B is something that both of these
players are very good at.
That time, just luckily, three-legged dog was able to get out of that situation.
Well, they actually didn't run out.
They didn't even get out of there.
Got out of there for a moment.
Got out of there a momentarily, but it wasn't enough.
And now this is sort of, you know, closer to what I was expecting, but at the same time,
it's like such just a volatile matchup.
One of the craziest matchups in the game in terms of just the amount that Krag can do
to Krag is insane.
Like, look at what's happening out here.
He's going so deep.
It's like, all right, just one, two back airs.
How are you going to get back?
Oh, manages to just barely snipe the ledge.
Sometimes the friend of your enemy is also still your friend.
And sometimes you're getting hit by a down air into the bottom.
Well, you know what they say, my enemy's enemy is my enemy's enemy.
Exactly, for as many as times.
This rock going discussing.
St. Pat, this time, has figured out the way to go ahead
and get the answer to that off-stage interaction.
Now at this point, drop that fair, drop the spikes.
Let's just go ahead and keep this rolling,
play nice and defensive.
I love this from St. Pat.
If you're up a stock, play a little more patient.
You know the vibe.
Wait, hold up.
This is Sonic.
Exactly.
Look, he's spinning.
He spins.
Yo.
All right, still those.
Definitely something that we could see a turn around.
If you're like a dog, can you come in here
get a big opening but right now it looks like the openings are all same pass
but as he drops that rock down there gonna be trying to disrupt the recovery
does actually put it back down but yeah it's just an airfare all the way in the
corner the same pat with a dominating two-stock victory very much more in line
with the expectations but that doesn't mean it can't happen the other way the
next game that's the beauty of a crag you know anything could happen anyone could
win I think the other part of it too is it wasn't even just like this could
potentially go the other way it was like whoever is getting these kills and
they are just trading it back and forth it is let me get you off stage let me get
the kill real fast and call it a day see immediately get the grab this time
we're gonna see real quick I'm not crazy really good doctor took a one right yeah
okay cool yeah just it is definitely one one definitely well sometimes I
sometimes I like see something on production I just I just questioned my
own reality like who was I who was I like that I like knowing that because that
That means I could gaslight you a little bit easier, you know?
Uh, nah.
Just wanted to make sure the viewers are correctly informed.
Okay, now let's see.
This is one of those stages that I think that the reason Three-legged Dog picked it is because
we saw how when the blasts are relatively shallow, when it's like relatively close to
the edge, St. Pat is very good at just finding something like this.
Something absurd where you don't, you never, like, you are reactable with the pillar and
yeah, that was an absolute robbery of a stock.
Turn it all around double rock pull actually gonna end up with
That was just a huge inflection point that three legged dog could have taken advantage of to come back in this game
But now find themselves down an entire stock great for hug there on the dash tech means that we're not gonna see any
Shenane againery off of that. Oh caught with the hand the cookie jar definitely an opportunity for some big damage
All right, gets the downer gets the reset kind of in the corner, but not able to keep him there
Oh, never mind same packet who was a little too close for comfort. Just shut it down right there. Oh
Fair to send it back. That's dead. Oh
Nevermind nevermind the pillar was not
He's still dead is nevermind
TLD please just for me right just adding right here the strip the strip said for Pat to die. Oh
Man and yeah, right now Pat is able to turn it around pretty well
He could have hit down B. That was a true combo to down B. Just FYI didn't need it
But if he was raw, he would have gone for it. He would have gone for it if he was raw if he was pk
He would have hit that
Shout out the pk
The one and only
But yeah, I mean that was a
That was that was tough because it felt like really good
I had a lot of chances and then just was a little bit squandered like he got gifted something on a silver platter
And it didn't end up working out his way. But oh, okay
This is big forcing way offstage with the rock. Oh, okay. Okay. I mean sure enough that works. That works. Yep
All right, we got the backers bro. We are just playing on those spots. There is no main stage
Mrs. The Rock grab actually kind of a huge differential there now getting out of the corner not going for the parry on that
One of the things I I think that happens in crag there's a lot is that you don't expect the other crag to go for the down
because you like respect each other too much, but that's something like you know
if they start going for it a little bit too much it can end up super
detrimental, but yeah that is just a unfortunate reactable situation after
the changes to the amount of time that it takes for that to come out. So great
work there for a relegged dog who's once again find himself in the corner. Oh my
gosh, he's reversing it immediately. Oh my god yeah this is this is so good for
for a relegged dog and the down air into the bit they're still catching up with
the tech chase. Oh my God. It's so dangerous here. Border. Yes.
Yeah. Just bear to bear. Three stops to one. Three stops to one, baby.
Like we said, this could go any direction. And it's not just about, it's not just about,
you know, one player being better than the other. It's about like these microcosms,
you know, these small interactions that can go either way. And it just results in a massive
differential in the way the game ends up playing out. I like to call them inflection points,
like a huge change in the momentum and the way the game is going like that.
Speaking yeah, exactly speaking of inflection points. We've got one right there 87 damage. This is a big thing to come back from that
And they're there
Not quite not quite still alive, but this is I don't mean it's not not technically over
But like one of those things where it's hey, it might be basically over is that one of seven? It's crack. Yeah, it's crack
It's your right. Go for that
But it's also really hard to come back on crack
It's hard to come back on crack, but easy to get back with so
It's it's medium difficulty. It's crag all the way down is what I'm saying
All right, and 140 still trading left and right
I mean especially on this stage it does make it a little bit harder for comebacks
And yeah, he's actually just dead out there. Unfortunately no pillar no pillar indeed
Yeah, and yeah, just got caught with a double jump onto the he could have come
He could have made it back to be side-feed because the pillar was yeah
down there. You might have been able to maybe you could side be down there in that air dodge. Maybe I also just understand like accepting that at that point. You know, right? Like, you know, he was at 160 160 have till the has you offstage without any resources. Let's just move on. Let's just go to the next one. Yeah. Now we see game five. Where is St.
going to go. We see the bands. We're scrapping. We're scrapping today. All right. Hey, you know what?
It worked out earlier. Let's go ahead and see how we got it. Of course, this is still going to make
it an even more explosive moment compared to the fire capital pace, right? Yeah, it's going to be
very opposite, I would say. Okay, going for that jump cancel on the pillar, very classic
covering technique in the ditto where they throw the pillar up and you just use your
your your pillar jump cancel to break through it.
I like now, let's see.
And I really do think these close quarters
are going to favor Pat instead of TLD.
Yeah.
But let's see what happens.
You're just a stash.
That's one of my favorite situations in gaming
is where you're just like, oh, he pillarless.
Yeah, he burned his pillar.
Yeah, yeah, no, that's why I'm taking pillarless.
And, oh my god.
Yeah, I think you're dead.
It's pretty, oh my god.
No.
You're a little too late.
Just barely, just barely.
The thing is, you didn't even need to roll up, you could just stay on ledge, like, that is the thing about against Krag, he has no hitbox on his recovery like that.
Yeah, just bear him again, send him back farther.
Not even there, you could just stay on ledge.
Well, I mean, that's a way to get a kill.
Yeah, exactly.
Alright, alright. Reverse up strong.
Reverse back hit, I'm up strong.
Dangerous spot, TLV, can he get off this ledge? No pillar.
But man, just ledge dash on it, use this rock.
Alright, Zipat says, I don't want this, I want to do it the old fashioned way, no rock in hand.
I am just I am the rock get that it's out of here. I don't want it. Oh
Big pick up with that. Oh little a little crazy look crazy with it
Not getting the tech on the wall means that st. Pat is now back into the game
Get that
Dash-track follow up here huge damage potential
Pillar has been used air dodge burn as well not able to capitalize St. Pat
I could have really changed the course of the game with that one, but he's still going he gets the double rock
I mean bear is so dangerous here. We don't have a double jump left, right? Yeah, we don't and that's just a fair
Great work for Pat extending that edge guard so long
Oh, no, and just a missed it there means that really does not even the return the favor and same Pat is well on his way
Oh, winning this game five with a down here and there he goes. He does it and it makes it look sexy
I see people in the crowd just like put their hands in their mouths and like oh my God,
on the other extreme we had something so disgusting, so vile, so, so, un, un-gentlemanly, un-savory,
gross.
No, it was a good stuff, you love to see it.
That's what the crag did is all about right you know just absolution
Manigunary just wild stuff happening left and right you know I wasn't having you
You were right. I wasn't I know you were I love to see him. I can tell up there having
their rocks in hand. Oh, it's beautiful. I could tell by the way you were like you
You were lean in and just talking it up. Oh my god. He's got him off stage. He's
sitting in with the back here. You could go ahead and do the down special there too.
I don't know why he didn't. He just wants to do it the simpler way. He wants to be careful.
It doesn't want to go ahead and give away another stock.
We got to be.
Hey, man.
Sometimes, sometimes you're locked in.
Sometimes I'm tuned into the narrative.
Sometimes you're involved.
Sometimes my rocks are connected to the rocks.
They're rocks, you know?
So there's rocks.
Yeah.
And that's all we need.
It's beautiful.
It's a beautiful connection of one man's rock
to every other rock.
The rock is something very simple.
That keeps us grounded in the beauty of where you're going.
And you can't let that go unless you're throwing it at an enemy
Madden then you should let it go, but otherwise you hold on
It's all about the rocks
Now we do have something else. Yeah, it's a little spicy not just rocks
It is the top two seeds in loser side trying to go ahead and fight for top four. What are they doing down there?
They got upset. That's crazy. Yeah, Sly got upset by of course Elkies. And then Sophie got upset by Dreyh upset.
That's crazy. Upset. It potates more. That's wild.
I mean it was strictly speaking an upset, but that's like a matchup that's happened so many times that it could easily go either way.
That's like alright, Dreyh won today. Sure, Sophie might win the next three. Who knows?
You've got the two top level players on I mean who knows what's gonna happen
But like you said it is gonna be a slight
Sly versus Elkies playing for top or top six. Sly versus uh, sorry Sophie. Oh
Wait what?
Wait
Sly and Elkies aren't in Sophie. Yo, yo, oh that's not slide. Oh my god
I saw the back of his head. I saw the back of his head. I thought it was like that's why it's haircut
kimchi it's kimchi my bad my bad stream I was like my bad kimchi all right yeah
kimchi we got a setter ditto yeah I'm down okay we go from my main to note to
your main so funny hey hey x main all right okay so it is my new me I just
sorry mr. now I keep changing characters now I'm sorry no not every two months
it's been a half year maybe a year all right and I always said I would play
Slade now here is the thing do I still place that are at all but like two matches
Okay, the more you play Slade the more matches you'll get you'll use him for right right that's the hope
I mean no that there'll be a patch so they don't give up the surely he'll give up. I I guarantee he's got will give up
I'm not he's God but I'm not a representative of rivals of aether and I know nothing about
But I guarantee you slates gonna get jet has stolen the secrets from the vaults
I
I actually have zero idea of what's coming up with the patches.
Other than the fact that Slade is guaranteed to get buffed in the next two patches.
Because we believe.
Just because I believe.
That is something that I hold as a fact in my heart.
Oh, here we are.
I have enough Slade on the screen.
I've been a good enough boy that Santa's Zetter will give me.
Will bless you with some Slade buff.
Yeah.
Already off to a very aggressive start.
Look, here's the thing.
Sophie is known to be that aggro Zetter.
All right.
She is all in on top of it.
She's never going to let you breathe.
This is live, right?
This is the game.
Yeah, this is the game.
Production can we swap over to the game? Thank you. Yeah, give me that big screen, baby
Which one is which by the way, so if he's the non-Christmas one, okay non Christmas is Sophie. Thank you
All right, I could have said kids use the Christmas one
You could you know you went with non Christmas Christmas was still your
No, so Sophie is known for being the aggressive that are all right now
One of the things that you're going to see is that carefulness around how they're playing on the ground game because otherwise
You're going to get caught by these down tilts these short hop fairs these dash attacks and everything and it's going to be mad
Damage Sophie beautiful parry right there of course kind of a trying and true you're drop a drop up it right?
Yep, I mean that's that's one of the things like when you hit somebody shield on platform
They kind of or are almost always by autopilot going that shield drop. Yeah, whatever the whatever the move is and if you're safe enough on it
It's a little thing really you can really just punish the hell out of it like she did
Speaking of punish, we got a fair right there in the corner and just the jump back into it, that is definitely going to be dead.
Yeah, no, Kim, she's struggling, which by the way, let it be known that Sophie, the minute she lost to D'Ry, went over to me to leave.
I want to go home. I think I'm DQing.
This is the Sophie classic.
Oh, no.
Hey, don't say I don't know because typically that means Sophie is going to win.
That means she wants to win the tournament.
Yeah, yeah. I swear to God, she does it every time.
Classic.
Let's go.
Yeah, but I mean, she's all the way here in SoCal.
She might as well make it happen as you know, you see her, you know
You know presenting a pretty clean game right now can cheat doing you want a little bit getting something started
But she is definitely the one in control of the tempo of this game
Well Perry action there, but the thing about parrying that is fireball is it is almost meaningless like it barely
Changes anything the only thing it does is it gives you like an opening to sometimes get an invincible neutral win
Yeah, it's really just as long as you as a setter on being extra sloppy without your positioning the fireballs
You should be like losing the interaction off of that period everything right? Yeah, I'm sorry
I just like I had double check my percents there. That was 115 that he died after that's not like you don't die
No, you have throw a 115 right? That was a stuff not not even not even if you're on fire on it
Yeah, that was that was on fire, but on fire it shouldn't be killing till I think like 1 30 a 30. Yeah give or take okay
But yeah, I mean sometimes sometimes you make the mistake sometimes if that's the give me out of your di like the let's go next game
It's also just hard cuz like in that moment it was grabbing media throw right? It's not was a pummel was a pummel
Oh my god a pummel
Hey, so anyone who's been watching on the Hoban series, please for the love of God as I've been telling them for two months now
And so if he grabs you in the corner, she's going to hit special pummel now
She learned about that button and it's a problem. She hit a pummel a pummel
Yeah, she's a bubble because he's already on fire. Never mind.
She's not at fault this time, but I'm watching.
Yeah, but she already took another stalk too. I mean, this is gruesome.
It's pretty bootable when you see Sophie on her shit, as opposed to when she's feeling a little bit down.
It is a beauty to behold. I really like watching her play.
Dude, the back air into the shine and everything. We got the uptakes in the first round.
She's still going, bro. She's not done.
She's never done.
The jab and jab after.
Oh my god, just to like check just in case like they landed on the stage and they're gonna shill
Yep, another absolute in the corner. She's still just exerting a ton of pressure here
Oh a little bit of mist input there still gets the stock and yeah, I mean, all right
Sometimes Sophie just shows up and shows out and that's uh, that's how it is. I mean when you it's always
It's always sad we know when you're in losers bracket
You're like making a run and then you run into like the number one or number two seed and you're like, oh, why are you here?
It's like, oh, you're a top 10 player in the world.
That's awesome.
And I'm playing you for what, plates again?
Oh, yeah.
We're losing against six.
That's so cool.
I get fit for losing to Sofilo.
Maybe fifth in the world.
Awesome.
Cool.
Dope.
Unfortunate.
Ooh, shine fair, you're dead.
Oh, y'all.
Charge up, charge up.
Three stock action.
I love it.
I feel like I'm pretty good.
I love that charge up there, too,
because it's the question of, is Kimji going to double jump?
is kimchi going to auto do up B which is what happened but ultimately going out
there with that trying you could just release jump away and regain stage
control and so you just put it out there as an option just in case yeah that's a
nice little dish joint too when you charge it up that much especially that
much yeah that was a juicy charge for sure how many shine spikes oh yeah we'll
see we'll see what it ends up being a whole lot dudes that are so good on these
platforms I mean I know I know kimchi fixes is a that's a countervict but
Oh, you hate to see it. Yeah
One thing that I want to point out about like how Sophie's playing around platforms because this is not her usual method
Yeah, when putting people into the tech chase
It's not normally normally it's these like short hop up airs to shark or more often than not
It's the mares to just catch whichever tech option you go for but she's doing a lot more reactions where she's jumping high up
That way she could just see which way you're taking get the down there get a bigger more brutal reset compared to the other two options
Oh, yeah, and this is uh, it's being a brutal 87%
You know, this is uh, look like a like a bit of a wrap here
Dude kim chi works so hard to get here. I want to I want to see him get a little something
What was kim chi beat moda niku? Oh, yeah, sildar sildar beat sildar game five. Oh, so make it into top games
Yeah, that's uh, these are some good wins some good wins, but like shame
Man you were doing awesome anyways
Sophie yeah, that's I mean that's what happens though like eventually you know if you're making a run eventually you're gonna
You're gonna run do an absolute brick wall and today today's brick wall his name is Sophie
And she is she is not happy with me losing bracket. I'm sure and she wants to she wants to just
Beat up on this poor center
Sophie just let him play his favorite game
She's killing me my favorite game. I'm getting wobbled in my favorite game
All right, yeah, let's uh, I love the up you just in place
She is shining on that show I don't think he gets one hey he died correctly on that day. He got one
You got one you got a guy
The Swords doesn't get me, just that devious.
Oh man, nice work there for the Kibchi making it his hard bracket, but yeah, like I said,
you know, sometimes you run into a brick wall and that's just, you know, that just means
you see what the next level is like and you can figure out maybe next time you have a
different play.
She's so scary to fight.
It doesn't matter how good your defense is, it's still Sophie.
Yep, yep.
Alright another so cloud classic. We've got sly versus st. Pat here and st. Pat
Honestly having having a bit of trouble with
With this bracket, you know, he had um that game five against three like a dog right before and he he also lost to dry
and that was a I would say like I don't know if it's
It's I think strictly speaking. It wasn't an upset, but he's been beating he had beaten dry like multiple times
Yeah, and I think at heatwave he be deriding and they used to play a lot obviously because they were in the same region for so long
But now I mean you know same time versus versus like two of the big top dogs here from soak up
Well, this is also a number one and I think same time was number five seed if I remember correctly
Yeah, cuz dry is number four and then saying that was number five for that. Yeah, uh, six seat actually. Oh six
Yeah, I'm 60. I make so my number
But you know, so like both these two very adept players, I mean, you mentioned the heatwake, right?
Yeah, like that was like the big one for Saint Pat making that top 8 and everything and gone consistently well for a long time
Not really been on that comma slide, of course is a
Both these players are disgusting specifically within their character groupings. Yeah, where you know
You talked about like Saint Pat going out of his way to help all the other crags learning these different things and like laughing out
some crazy stuff. On the other end, Slythe does a lot of the same within the Clarence.
Like, he is constantly having conversations with the high level Clarence.
The high level Clarence core goes crazy, man.
It really does. And I mean, Bro has a little Google Doc.
Of, I am the hero, I cannot lose.
You are the hero of every set and must defeat the villain in front of you.
Yeah.
Is a quote that he reads in his Google Doc before he goes on the stream.
Yeah, he got this doc, Stango and Kegasol, with the ones to go ahead and give to it.
And it's like everyone else is the monsters and they aren't as cool as you
You must win because of it
If you lose that means the villains have won
If you lose the villains have won so I love that mentality as and we'll see you know
We'll see if you can defeat the villain here and today's villain is named St. Pat
And St. Pat like I think he is one of the he's he's like a person who is definitely an innovator with a character
Like there's a lot of things he does that other people do not do and we're gonna see him looking for a lot of these kids
So you know where he catches you going to the wall with a neutral beat and that is just something that cannot be teched
That's one of it
One of the strongest things you could do in this game is to stop somebody from teching and just like they go to the wall
You grab them and you try to throw them away or throw them down and it just is so much more difficult to come back
And it's extra efficient against a character like Claren who doesn't have like as explosive of a recovery route once you throw them in
That lower range, right? Yeah at this point so far. We're just playing some nice good solid play
I love this in there to go ahead and catch the jumps. We were seeing a lot of that against L keys earlier
And now we're seeing it once again come to fruition against st. Pat just occupying the zones where like st
Pat wants to exist in or was in five seconds. Yeah
And I think that a big part of this this matchup is air to air like Craig has a very difficult time air to air in Claren
Like she can really consume a lot of space with the virtual air and forward air
So you have to you have to be really careful about how you approach it because we've seen multiple times
you know, St. Pat's going for an aerial approach and then just drive. Sorry,
slide beating it out with either neutral air or fair forward air and making it so
difficult to come back with that time. It seemed like, it seemed like St. Pat had a
good answer to the recovery. Just as quick. Slide answering back with a quick
little forward air. Gets it going on the next stock too. Now at this point let's go
ahead and reset to those platforms. There's a reason why we like this stage
of times, alright? I love that St. Pat is not wanting to play to that corner, but
And it's not gonna get caught up being a little too antsy there now offstage. We go ahead Prince repeat the back there
There is still a pillar in the pocket right now. No, no, there's no pillars. No, no
He placed that before coming back on stage eating that that point. I don't think he had landed, but yeah, you might be right
Now he's gonna go super low
forced to use in that pillarless and that's one of the big things that you can save your double jump for
Where you go for that that double jump into back air. It's a really nice reset because then you get your wall jump again
and
Same type uses that a lot. We saw them use it against three-legged dog multiple times
Down strong charge stuff not gonna kill off the top, but still catching that tipper with the landing forward air and beat that out
And that's again a very dangerous part to be air-to-airing with
With the forward air from the crag is just you know, the distorts are good. Yeah, so we're to guess to be good
Who are going right down in there instead?
I'm not gonna be getting the kill just kind of resetting and everything. I do like that slide is taking these hits and then just resetting and
Accepting the fact that hey, I didn't get to kill that. I wanted it's okay
Yeah, and also the way this slide is taking up spaces to get really hard for same path to approach a lot of times
He's doing he's doing like a reactionary neutral air to cover the space that that same path is bursting into
Yeah, and I want to see a little bit more of same path painting with with movement to be able to find an opening better
But right now these overshoots from Sly are doing a really good job of catching the dashback from St. Pat and making it so he isn't able to really, you know, utilize the space that he has because, you know, the speed differential between the characters makes it a lot more difficult.
Especially with the way Sly is abusing the shadowing that he's using, positioning himself so he can follow the movement of St. Pat.
Yeah, now we're gonna go ahead and head over to that merchant port give us a little bit more room to play around the sword and everything
More stable platforms where we're not gonna get caught in the center as much that being said that also takes away the option of like
Hovering around those platforms sometimes, but you know, I think we'll take that considering the amount of shocking potential of Claire, right?
Yeah, I mean this is a very pretty good stage against Claire
And I think that I think a lot of people like to pick it against her at the same time like you know
It's there's nothing that's really that bad against against Claren like Claren has so many tools
Like nothing's gonna be that crazy
But I really like this positioning here from from st. Pat just getting the double fare should be able to get back to stage
No problem. He has it how
Really great reverse like you have to be so careful against as when you're addressing against crag if he has that pillar down there
Oh, no. Oh
Okay, that's a stock I guess yeah, sometimes that happens the best of us
truly truly ooh running all the way across the stage and slide chasing him
down gonna get now off stage we're just gonna hold it back air nice easy oh yeah
I mean had the shield up for the first one wasn't it was expecting the single
up be and that's one slide you know mix it up a little bit but that's one of
the things like if he knew that that was gonna happen there was a big chance for
a lot more but oh this is the tech dangerous spot still gets out gets the
special get up once in a lifetime
sometimes it happens oh tech chase with the guy you're wrong
yep and uh this is a dash attack one should get it yep great one so i need to get back there
you have to just up in it's over yeah and then i'm gonna say hat with a fairly sizeable lead
and has the rock available okay that that now it's gone and that is a big combo here for sly
nair okay whoa didn't go for the nair i'm really surprised actually usually in that position
Go for the the tipper near as a finisher. It's like love that's it
It's such an absurdly powerful move if you get the right spot
Okay, yeah, that's
Just just kind of reactable like there's really nothing you can do if you are going to put it
You can try to go lower, but he can also that that's the kid. Oh, you can do I was talking about that earlier
I was talking about the kid nap man. That's the same pack classic. Nobody else be doing that. No
It's beautiful
So perfect. I mean, never change, Craig. Never change. That was the nice thing, too.
Because like, that was maybe the second opportunity where, like, Sly even went
side B like that into the wall, right? I mean, that's the thing. Like, if you give
Craig the time to set up and you're side B'ing into the wall like that, he can
just do it. But there's a bit of a mix in here, because you can also up B in
that position, right? So, like, Claren can just up B, and that's from
No, same pattern. Red, D.
Alright, now we got this rock wall pick from Sly. Oh god.
It's St. Pat's stage now. It's St. Pat's stage. Remember mine.
I mean, it is called rock wall for a reason, man. The rocks are king here.
No, this is Crystal Oasis.
Oh my bad.
Yeah, get it right.
The crystals are king here.
Move it back here.
And the crystals are telling St. Pat what to do.
Oh, he's dead.
Yeah, he's uh...
Yeah, very dead.
You just got a ledge I mean crag does it in that specific position crag doesn't have a hitbox
You can drop some circumstances you can throw out a back air if you're hanging on the ledge there
But not you have to have a wall jump out for that. Yeah coming from that low. It's over now this one
We're gonna go ahead and try to force a sly low. Hey, just a nice side B. You clown
Yeah, I mean and the thing is like if he keeps doing that like it almost removes the option for
slides you side right and yeah when you can't side be there's a there becomes
like a much bigger differential in the recovery situation so yeah I mean that's
super scary but see history and look at the absolute masterclass of a combo we
were seeing from slide just common left to right all the way across the stage
still not getting up to Spanish state the drop down low no not getting punished
oh never mind we got punished for I lied yeah near there's got below stage and
kills you pretty cool pretty cool move pretty cool move we got that fair move
also pretty cool move down till just pop you in the corner the little baby dash
for some movement all right those slide got the answers you gave me a rock I'm
gonna go ahead and make some pebbles up oh misses the turnaround on that wave
dash out of shield which means that slide kind of gets away with murder but
okay he's still in a disastrous spot getting picked up with a ton of percent
but now sending deep off stage let's see when one pillar is gonna be used goes
Super deep with the pillar force into a low recovery, but able to get out of there
Dude, I thought for sure we were gonna see another murder right there, but it said we broke free
We're living same path with the pillar just accepting the damage. Let me get right back on stage
I want my pillar again. I ain't risking this dog for there. We got him in the right position. It's so deep
No pillar double there. I think he's just dead
Yeah, nothing you can do
Tragic spot. I mean, I that that's the worst part that when you get caught in the startup of your upbeat
And there's just there's just no action. You can take you was able to go low with that
Sometimes you can like be close enough to the wall where you can take that that neutral there
But that time just was a little bit too far to the left and that means that we're in a
more
Game 4 2 to 1 for a slight difficult choices here for st
Pat does go with a fire cat fan on slide side and we see hyperborean harbour
Yeah, this is a I mean, this is a really good crag stage
But we'll have to see how practice slides in it because there's there's sometimes people who are just like oh, yeah
I know this is technically your counter pick, but I am hyperborean king
Hyperborean master. I just love harbour and I'm going back here constantly. It's so fun. I love it
Yeah, I love how patience and I was playing right there just
Reutilizing is that side platform to regain the legend vulnerability and regain the pillar just in case
This is one of those things where like we saw like ZB take advantage of it at Genesis where you pop down the pillar and just
Regain the pillar by coming up later. And so you can just really time
For your opponent for longer terms, but yeah, I mean it's a lot worse now with the cry recovery changes because before it was just like
You didn't need the pillar to get back as well, and that was like a huge boot in the matchup
But I alright side beat off the top means that we're gonna see a
Pretty big advantage here for first slide that's percentages that he has been dying has been you know pretty high
So we'll be surprised to see oh this is actually really deep
Okay, man is able to go back on there and you set able to go back on there
It still doesn't matter right now. We are in full advantage right here nears on the shield
Unfortunately, you can't get that aggressive on the shield, you know same thing. Oh, oh, no
And yeah, Sly, dominating the neutral at this point, making it so hard for Shane to find his way in.
And that goes really low. Should be able to get back.
I'm kind of surprised that Sly's going to go a little bit deeper.
I mean, ultimately just opting to reset and everything just in case, you know.
Yeah, I was expecting to see a reverse hit near. That's what I was looking for.
Especially three stocks to one, you know, or no, two.
Two to two. Yeah.
But this like you're both a kill percent, you know might as well throw your stock to get there
Yeah, see how same path is trying to find this stock. It's a dash tag away. Okay. It goes for the back here
Disaster I mean when you're behind like that and in trading a stock on accident
Oh, man, this is a you hate to see it happen and now St. Pat might be losing his whole bracket just because of that
I mean he was still in a rough spot without it, but now with being down an entire stock and
losing this interaction he is just
Yeah, I almost expected it to see it up in that direction, but a little bit too aggressive probably and yeah
Snags the legend way that's going to be hang for safe pat in this bracket. He really is sly
Yes, you speak you with it. That's for sure. Thank you with a sly cooper out here. Sly cooper for real for real
Well, hey very well done by both players reppin so Cal on the home turf. Yep
Now we're gonna be getting a long
Historic staple within rivals whether it's rivals one rivals two. We got derived. We got else. Okay
Yeah, winners finals here
Not really surprised the irony's to you know in this in this side. I'll keys
He's up he's in drive and like you said going at it for quite some time
They had a lot of battles in the you know the rivals won online
Locals, you know nor Cal versus so Cal for so long dry technically moved to Portland
But still you know spiritually so Cal and return for this event to defend the home turf and you know
I I mean I can't be happier. I'm both these both these players are
I'm a huge fan of
Good friends, you know, it's always it's always good to see these two succeed. Yeah, it's right
I'm gonna be coming off the back of a pretty dominating win on Sophie was 30 real
And it was just like it really looked like he had all of the answers to that match
And I want to see what his answers are for this situation. I know he has
You know, yes a lot of confidence in Tugget spoke these characters and I'm looking to see why you know
I'm looking to see how how earned that is I
Truly think we are only gonna see them like
Yeah, I mean that's supposedly like Lorraine at force matchup, right?
Like it's either box it on four.
It's not even just for Rano.
It's not even just that because there was a time period where Elkies did go
Lorraine for that matchup and that was at Genesis.
And it ended there because she's mad.
She's crazy girl.
Yeah, I know that the first, I remember her versus nurse at Genesis.
It was.
Yeah, I remember that as well.
It was so tough and Elkie's almost lost it to nursing game four
And honestly should I should have
But like and a big part of that was going Lorena against Rano
And then she tried it again later on at that same Genesis and it went the exact same way
We're just Lorena was getting torn to pieces because random can ultimately just run back reset bear
There whatever it might be and shut back. Yeah, no rain got fucked. So therefore she's she wins the match
Oh, she was the last sorry, that's how it works now. I don't make the rules. I just say them on street
Yeah, but that being said I think
Especially that Genesis was part of that like time period where Elkies was still finding out what characters
Am I using for which matchups right because when you're gonna do a man?
Yeah, you want to have a game plan for what I mean her at Genesis or game plan was I'm going to switch every game to figure out
What my game plan? Yeah, exactly now. I think she's used to she knows now than that
Yeah, um and so I truly do think we're only gonna be seeing it via the maple person for Ronald and everything and
Which I still think is a decent match for Ronald. I still think it's a pretty good one
Um, I think it's definitely the choice. Yeah, I know it's the choice, but I
Might just randomly switch for no good reason. She is crazy. Yeah, so
Yeah, I mean we love that we do love that we love that about it. I LT's is fun to walk. I mean she is
She's in the nickname. You know you watch her play and you're like is this is she is she liking gold?
I like it. Does she know how to play the game? And then you'll see it
You'll see her and it should be your favorite player. She'll beat Kegasol and just be like what what's happening?
So much of that was like how she beat Sly earlier. We were talking about it with Jariah and everything where
Normally Sly likes to find ways to occupy the spaces that you were just in. Yep
That way, if you're getting antsy in your dashing backing,
you're coming back in to try to continue the aggression,
you get caught for it.
But Elkie's just has these random pauses in her gameplay.
And so how are you supposed to take on
somebody who is known for going 90 miles an hour,
but also just randomly break checks you 24-7?
Yeah, it's like you're trying to follow someone on the freeway,
and she's just like,
Scarp, Scarp.
100, zero.
That's a danger.
100, zero.
That's a danger.
You got to stay away from her.
Oh, man, I'm I'm very much looking forward to the set. I think it's gonna be a very big testament of advanced state like both these players are
are very much
Unafraid of going offstage and doing absolutely so wrong already. Holy Jesus. Yep. I mean
Like I said, like I said, you know, you think you know, I think Elkies has it out for me
That's what it is. No, no, this is a this is a hammer. Oh, okay
No, no, never mind. We don't know yet. It could be maple. It could be maple could be anything even a boat
It could be both what what if dry whips out that I would I think orcane would be the only
Possibility I do not think that's actually there is one other that's more more likely than the orcane
What?
Right, that's right. Yeah. Yes. I
Just I just don't see it happening
I think derise very loyal to the frog at the moment there have been times where his loyalty has swayed
Yeah, the moment it is a low trap
That is his beloved mmm, and I can't blame him because like the way to ride
maneuvers around platforms and everything and utilizes like
One of the most frustrating things
To fight dry. Yeah, it's a random needle pressure inside a neutral. We're like, all right, you slid off a platform
I'm expecting you to get aggressive now. No, it's needle. I'm hitting you with a needle. You stay right there
You stay in that corner. Okay, and there it is. We do have
Lorena
Yeah, I I will believe nothing else in my head cannon other than Elkies
Specifically did this just like me. Oh, I actually told her that you were saying this and I did go Lorena game one
Just to mess with you. So everything you said would be false. The thing is I can see you doing this
So I don't know
I told her go Lorena for the fans and she would never let the fans down
She would never let the fans down. You're not wrong. She loves the fans and you know what?
We love her already beautiful chair set up right there to go ahead and get a little bit of extra damage
But unfortunately your cost lacking you're taking some damage here as well
Yeah, but I mean there is actually just a massive difference to the chairs on stage and the chair is not on stage for
Like there is an absolute world of preference difference. All right, we see yep chairs on stage. We're fine
Yeah, yeah, we're not down be we're actually not fine. We're not fine or not fine at all
Okay, just kidding. She is makes it back gets the absolute board air resetting the chair trying to use it for
Oh, I like the boost there good idea. That's swag. Yeah, that was sick, but she's dead for it
You know, okay
I mean that is the risk you run when you try to go for this wag plays like you know sometimes
They come back to bite you and oh that is not the greatest DI looking for looking for the arms tech does not hit it
Unfortunately, and I mean the really bad spot even yeah
Really bad spot.
Alrighty, we got the chair set back into the neutral.
Aggressive side being, I know that was like
something that the right specifically was planning for
was like the spike of the down being everything
to make sure that he was ready for the tech option, right?
Yeah, me and Derai actually practiced that. He was supposed to hit that tech.
Um, because we did not help him practice well enough.
I did help him practice. He just didn't hit enough of them.
That's not, that's not on me. That's on him.
It's his fault. Alright, get it together.
Ooh, barely missing out on the ledge.
It doesn't matter. We get the reset nonetheless.
That Nair, that has been the god, like the talk of the town.
the talk of the town over the past like month especially with like corn cycle and LPs.
Yeah, the people be talking about that there. Let's see though, how
to rise and handle this endgame situation just goes for the jab. That was broken by the way.
Anybody who doesn't know that move is actually, it looks so innocuous but it's just absolutely
broken. It's the one rapid jab that has ever been good in Rivals 2. Oh man. Oh, we're fordaring.
That moves God.
That area, yep.
Should it still be in good spot?
Darius not.
So I was looking at Elkies when that was happening.
You care to elaborate what just went down?
So Darius slipped off, hits the back air on the side-b from Elkies.
Not only that, but when he hit the back air, he hit Pellet and just fast-fall employment.
He should still be fine, though.
Like, has he up-dead?
He would have been able to double jump, wall jump if he...
I don't think he had a double jump.
How did he not have a double jump?
have a double go he went off the I don't know either way he had a low you know he
fast fell way too fast he was he was gone he decided his people needed him
going back to her oh yeah Elkies loves this bubble game this is like the one
player that will always force you to operate with that you gotta hit the
pumble you gotta hit the pumble button you gotta be guessing you gotta be
making guess that call out on that jump that's crazy that connected I actually
reacted to it and then still got hit which I mean you know you you've got to
get that crazy shit sometimes yeah oh okay let's go we're back to that yeah
you're practicing I don't know if I don't we told you earlier but we were
practicing I saw that you're really good you're really good practice partner oh
oh air dodge low I see should still be this is the regrab unfortunately for
To rise still looking good here. No tech. It's back here. That's gonna be it. That's a frog move
Sometimes you can be sticking your steak you like out. It's you know, smelly frog legs. Yeah, so he's got to call the cops on that
move just that move alone
Off stage no problem. Yeah, it's it is relatively hard to contest the
The recovery here you have to you have to be really pre-emptive about it like that
Yeah, we saw we saw earlier. Oh, he's super hard calling out things and yeah, he's the dash dash attack
That's one way to get it done. Yeah, but but now huge opening for Derai. Let's see what he's gonna do with it
Does not make it happen. It'll miss
If only somebody would practice that with him, honestly, somebody should have practiced that with him so he doesn't miss those
It was only yeah only
I'm right. I still stock up almost laptop percent right now
I love how like just fast-paced rise keep the movement and everything didn't matter
LPs get into the call out get into the cop get in the dash attack
Oh no stealing your kids stealing your wife
This is all hers
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, get nice back. I wonder if you've asked that with anybody
She is in a bad position, but Elkie is going to still be able to get out of there and go for a little louder situation
I love I love when you use the hip-hop to the chair. It's after a move hitting it. Oh, that's cool. That's just cool
All right, then there just I love
I would have lost my ish
He was moving the bubble around I think you're starting to spawn the bubble, but you can realize the bubbles are
positioned
Yeah
Love that recognizing that Elkies has gotten a lot of callouts on the bubble now
We're just stalling with the bubble because why not all right? No back air
It wasn't in time and you missed the tag which means you die
Hey, hey, do you remember when Derai was up like an entire stock?
I remember I remember that and then he missed and missed tech three times. He did miss tech three times
Somebody should have practiced
The worst part about it is I know that Jirai goes back and watches all of his vods, so he's going to hear us harassing
Both him and me. At least like I'm one of the ones being harassed as well
Yeah, I didn't help him practice that enough because I had to go commentate. Wow, that's crazy. I know you bailed on. I did bail
Honestly, I'm a bad player. You are a bad friend. I'm sorry Jirai. Thank you. You lose. This is my fault. See Jirai
This is why you should practice with me. I choose my friends over commentary
comment yeah we both love it that's not true no hey I put some homies on a
block that I would have liked no I don't know I said that jack I hate that guy
I got the worst we should get out of here dude I the way to rise tacking I bet jet
helping him practice oh god damn jet didn't help him practice that advantage
it would be so much worse yeah I mean nice pick up onto the bubble still though
I mean we haven't seen what we sort of expect to see out of the frog right when you are off stage as
Lorraine a
Generally, you should just be dying right that's the that's the
Established ideals that you should be dying every time you hit off stage like this and it shouldn't even be a contest
Yeah, it's not backers like the true deal breaker there. It's just a wall
It's so active. It just murders you forever trying to side the what else are you supposed to do?
Yeah, still getting out of there. So Gerai has an addiction to up strong at low percents.
Yeah, it's great because it knocks down super early as that.
Yeah, it knocks down, you know, you can never floor hug it because of the properties and strong attacks and it puts the
two poison stacks on. It's just like a valuable move to use, but it's also like a high risk move because
you know, you can still just get destroyed for going for it too early.
So we see, we see him go forward a lot in these early percents and it has been working out well in this game.
I also like how he's utilizing needle on the go die delta where it's like hey
I'm gonna go ahead
Slip off the platforms and just send out a needle get some coverage and everything it's kind of the stuff that we were talking about
Before the set every started and everything just hadn't seen a lot of it on jewels veil now got her off stage
And used to go ahead and get the kill gets the jab and everything
But you know what we're gonna floor her or crouch cancel
We're gonna go ahead get the reset on this a little bit a little bit of spicy movement there
Elki's using the dash stack cancel onto the chair to be actually super quickly a lot of times
We'll do not expect that old up strong a hair off means that Derai's gonna live to see another day
But he's still stuck in the corner caught with that f strong and a direction does get the kill Elkies on the verge of a
3-0 in this winners finals board air off stage. Let's see how Derai gets the job done back here
Okay, you are even on this final stock direct set up the bubble like he has been doing in the center stage
I mean it hasn't been saving him man. It's been really just been messing him up.
This top out here for a Frogger, right? Love that Moonwalk into the uptilt.
Instead just recognizing that Elfies has been very aggressive with her burst
options. Didn't matter. We still got you in the corner. We still got you struggling
right here. Grab, down throw, down strong. Setting up the chair. Great hit by
Derive. But he is actually going to go too low. And yes the ledge is snagged away.
3-0 for Elkies on the character you said couldn't do it honestly and why would you do such a thing?
Why would you count my girl Elkies out like that? She is I didn't count her out. I didn't count her out
I counted Lorena. I did count Lorena. Lorena in Grand Finals? Did somebody say Lorena in Grants? You know what?
She can do it. This is why she can do it. I stand with women.
I stand women. I
I should have known better, you know Lorena was gonna come and do it. You got a stand by women
True
Got a stand by women. Exactly. Same fact, it's it. You know
You know, it's been a stand by women. We got Sophie up here next on stream
And uh, you know how we were earlier talking about Sophie versus Sly and how it was a little too early
Okay, now we actually
I was at the wrong part of the script. My bad, my bad
The script is already written just in case you guys don't know
Famously, this is all K-V. Yeah, everything that's wrestling
Yeah, exactly. I mean, it's all you think you think we'd have as good a sense as we do if it was actually happening in real life
You know people are just gonna fall for getting kidnapped by St. Pat off stage like if you know that's the option
Why are you gonna fall if you know you know?
It's kind of one of those things is like like at the top level and everything and you're like
I know this is an option, but man. Are they bullying me for every other option?
So like I just I gotta go for it and then you just immediately
You know better I mean I've definitely been in those situations where I'm like pray that they fall for the stupid thing
Right, and sometimes they do sometimes. I'll be like I'm gonna do this
Really dumbass option and hope that they don't that they think I'm too smart to go for it
And I'm not I'm never too smart you're definitely not
Being smart let's go. I don't speak big word good. I went to an online school
All right, but yeah, I mean we are gonna have a sly versus Sophie here and this is our number one and number two C's of the bracket
Looking forward to see how this goes down. I mean, I think it's gonna be I think it's gonna be a really interesting one
I mean
Sly gonna have the slight edge in terms of seating
But I really do think that this this is a potential to go either way the biggest downside I could see is all right
You talked earlier about how you find ran out to be default for that or burn. Yeah
Clarence the character I find I find that's a bit of a struggle with a lot.
Clarence the only other matchup that I really think of that is like truly, truly a struggle like obviously there's the hard parts of fighting like Fleet for example
Because like they can blow you off the side or whatever.
Man you can't be just saying this stuff to me like like what are you talking about?
They blow you up off the side. I just...
I can't just let all of these references go.
Talking about I'll move it on I'll move it on bro. I don't know
I can never understand the sick mind of jet of not only
Fragman
It's a disease
disease we got a Clarion down player on see that's a disease that's it can't tell me that's not a
disease all right slide down plays this character mad hard that means that we got we got the Clarion
we got of course Sophie the most aggressive player when I think of a top player you know it is Sophie
I think Elkies and Sophie are like he's the bottom that front it's the something in the
NorCal water that just makes us go crazy it's it's the same sort of disease that makes you a crack
What your your other top player is Ion? Yeah, yeah, there is a problem there
Honestly, Valid. Not as valid as these combos. They are just completely invalid.
Oh, you got tempered by back air? Honestly, these combos, they should be a leave-in.
They should. They should come from the game. I told you, disease? I shouldn't have even said
down player. I should have just said Clarence. He is a problem. Nice little slot of fireball there,
but one of the things that I feel like is always a struggle in this matchup is the fact that like
Just the differential in edge guard potential. Yeah, it's just you see what happens when slide puts
Sophie off stage
Versus the other way around just not true at all
I mean sometimes you'd be finding those up strong at 115 and that you know
That's a great way to get a stock but how repeatable is it?
How many times are we gonna see something like that happen in the set?
That's really just gonna be the difference and who's winning. Yeah, so he's winning
We're gonna see a lot of those if she's not we're gonna see very few
speaking of seeing very few we are seeing very little of Sophie winning a
hit right now almost getting that side beat you that would have been grow oh
god no just immediately send right back off stage hello darkness my old friend oh
no I come to speak with you again that was that was a depressing way to stop
yeah yeah first off you shouldn't have been there in the first place yeah
Second off, there was like eight things that didn't go your way.
Slime is like three.
You have a reversal bite of speed.
Yeah.
Yup.
That's painful.
And that's what I was talking about, man.
The differential of edge gaurd potential, it is, the potential energy there is just
so high on the fly side.
You sound like Neil deGrasse Tyson.
So the differential in edge gaurd potential, that's all I'm talking about.
You see, you know, when you look into the sky and the stars, you might see a flare.
The infinite possibilities versus Zedrub.
The stun compared to the fireball.
What is the difference?
See, the stun allows you to go ahead and reset for a new
will be reset for an update and continue a combo for what
feels like a crime, but is somehow allowed by these
monsters known as game developers.
Yeah, monsters is the correct term, man.
What are they doing out here?
What, designing one of the coolest games ever?
I know, right?
How dare they?
Gross.
Disgusting even
We see exactly there
Yeah, Sophie had everything going for she had no resources left for sly basically everything used her sitting on the ledge invincible
Theoretically that should be a kill, but it wasn't it should we do get it with the with the up strong of course
I mean they're trying to true that that is the zetter thing, but
immediately put back into the blunder and I mean thankfully we've brought
break free but as you've been saying there's been a lot of moments where like
dude why are we letting Sly slip out there I mean it's hard it's hard to keep
the combo going in that spot specifically yeah like just slip offs are
really good they were nerfed in the recent patch they're a little bit harder
but they are a really good answer to center combo so you are able to find a
ledge to slip off and instantly hit like a counter hit it's difficult for him to
follow up on you let's see what we're getting now for Sly oh miss the tech and
That's actually really good spot, but it's still alive.
Why is that still alive?
That's crazy.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, like buff setter.
If that was Sly, oh my god, how many times?
Four, four tilts.
Nice job, Tekking.
Did not matter.
Yeah, exactly.
I win.
One, two, three, four.
Yeah, I got it.
I just got it, because we have a screen on another delay here.
So let's see it.
Oh, you were looking up at the big one.
That one, I was like, I'm the front-end part?
It also worked for Sly's down tilt and me too.
It was the same thing.
Yeah.
I'm starting to think Seltzer's good.
They're a little tilting if you ask me.
That's real.
Oh, and OK, this is huge.
This is where Sophie really needs to make something count.
And she does.
And look at that.
All right.
The moment she starts getting consistent kills,
the game turns on its end.
I mean, yes, obviously, that is the most basic point
I could possibly make, that when you kill your opponent a lot,
you win good.
You win when you kill?
You win when you kill.
But it's really just the fact that she
was finding, you know, good setups into those kills that she just was not finding
with Revis game and sometimes it's as simple as that. There has been a
consistent ability from Sly to be able to go ahead and not only find the hits but
convert them into extra massive points of damage, kills early, you know, also if
he was really struggling with that during game one and started finding it at the
end of game two, it wasn't even at the beginning, it wasn't until like that
second stock where we really see her start to capitalize and so it makes me
really excited to see how we're gonna do here on a new era modda. Yeah and her
Her SDI also woke up a lot in that second game.
Previous game it did not look like she was really hitting the SDI that she needs to get out of Slice combos.
Yeah, but in game 2 it was happening.
So let's see how she gets out of the corner.
Just goes for a little lead dash action.
Oh, sometimes you're caught shielding at the center and that's her off.
I think a lot of that also just came from the amount of patience that, you know, Sophie, we keep talking about it.
She's aggressive, she's not known for her patience, but inside of that corner she understood that,
Hey, I need to stop just throwing my legs out given she's really trying for it right here worked out inside of that reversal gets the
Forethrow out everything but like she played patient at that corner
Yep, and now she's getting rewarded for it huge damage and just like that a this is what I was talking about where we need to see her
Taking these advantage states and converting them into kills and she's yeah been able to do that the last two games in
in a spectacular fashion in that and this is how she needs to win the set if she's going to keep this going
she'll be in great shape let's see oh oh no that was like that same moment against like with the ride
where i was like yeah surely he's fine i'm gonna be looking at so if you see what she's doing and then
he just he didn't he didn't pull the trigger on the second up beat yeah just hit up b1 and called it a day
yeah oh no really unfortunate wasn't able to go ahead and clock back and get that stock but like
you drop the stock at zero that's a little bit of a tough thing b of course though it's clear
It's not only Claren, it is Sly's Claren.
We got this neutral air barely with...
I think that was supposed to be not only a Sly off, but a little bit of jump there to get the up air, but...
Mm-hmm, not gonna matter though.
Now Sophie with the advantage state, great ledge dash down from along, gets some damage in the other direction.
But now Sophie's back on top in the center stage, goes for it down via...
Not the spot she wanted, but hey, it works out.
Sly's Sly on fire and...
Okay, post is in the corner, forwarder, not gonna connect.
Still a dangerous spot on fire in the corner.
Could die to a strong attack or a grab.
This time, all right.
He gets out of there.
He gets out of there for now.
His turn.
Can he capitalize off of it?
We got the up till we got the forward strongest.
Her back off-stage hit her with the fair.
Unfortunately, he let her here right back in,
and now she's the pumble into the fourth row.
That's fair.
Oh, she's giving it up.
She's not a matter of Christ.
Damn.
All right, so she's moving.
She's moving like a different type of beast right now.
What she what happened what changed it really was like not not only the advantage day because we talked about that at the end of
Game 2 yeah, all of a sudden she started finding
Combo rats the kill confirms that she was missing during game number one
But on top of that there was much more patience instead of her disadvantage
She she would find ways to get back to ledge and instead of immediately trying to get up and reversal it
She would get up understand that slide loves taking these positions where he like baits you to come in and then comes back with that like
short hop nair to try to catch you like dashing in and so that that patience has
allowed it to where Sly isn't getting as explosive advantage states like he was in
game number one and now looking like he's gonna get in a game number four
yeah okay I mean this is a great start for Sly and I think this is something
that he's gonna need to keep going if you want to see if you want to see him
catch back up we do see an interesting choice here that I that I like a lot in
in terms of Podojo, where he's opting for the shallower side Blastones, which is a double-edged sword.
The fact that he has the ability to combo off these platforms really well and kill early off the side.
In addition to the fact that there is just a risk of dying currently too zedder as well,
but you know, sometimes you'd be catching those charged up neutral bees,
and I mean, this is looking pretty good for our SoCal hero right now.
Ooh, that neutral beat to go ahead and re-secure the ledge and everything, that up strong.
I mean, using that against Elkie is a lot as well, whenever he backs set up,
he immediately throws out a neutral beat that just covers the space in front of him,
really well in counter-acts instant aggression.
Oh, barely whiffs on that, but the positioning nonetheless allowed him to go ahead and get back to stage and get the hit.
Downbeat, you gotta be ready to tech that, but not high enough to get the easier-
Not up the angle there.
Oh
No, what might send out?
Board throw. Yeah, and that's the danger of being on this. I don't do a stage
Dying a lot earlier than that powered board throw than you would on most stages. Yeah
That's just mad tough right now for Sophie
All right, we got the shine. We got the fireball Sophie playing a little bit slower
And even when she's getting aggressive here slide is having the proper positioning with the F tilt sent everything to go ahead and snuff it out
It's in there get the up till come on we we're racking up this damage. This is becoming a problem for Sophie very quickly. Oh
Yeah, this is might be it for Sophie in this game great tech instant instant wavelength
It's getting out of that spot
But it's not gonna be enough to get out of the corner as the pressure is still mounting from sly once again
Put putting Sophie into the corner making sure whoa, okay, just keep out of that spot trying to go for a spike
I know I like the attempt. I like the positioning there, but now she's gonna be into it's gonna be in a bad spot
But once again, instant tech, Waveland out,
has been doing a good job of resetting that position.
But I mean, she is so high in percent.
This is just an almost impossible comeback to make.
But she has the starts of it.
Can she get the kill right now?
Going a little deep for this board.
Fair.
Down air.
Once again, tries to go for the special call,
but you're talking about it.
Thank you.
Thank God.
You've always got to be hitting that button.
Somebody learned.
He knows.
He learned from the hop on.
He gets it.
Yeah, here.
That's finished, yeah.
Eventually it's gonna work out. Alright game number five, you know
I
Saw like that downbeat off the stage and at some point you do you've got to start pulling the trigger
But but that was more so like the end phase of what was starting to happen throughout that whole game
Where Sophie was getting very very aggressive with how she was playing disadvantage as well
just trying to force her way in get the shrines get the downers and
So I just started playing way more grounded way more patient inside of neutral and everything and not allowing so good to get these
these easy hits him, you know.
Yep, yep, and that's the big difference.
But we'll be going to Rockwall here.
Interesting choice for the finisher.
I definitely like what we're seeing from Sophie
in terms of how she's been controlling center stage,
and that is one of the biggest parts of this,
how the state works.
It's like once you can control center stage,
your opponent's sort of like forcing that off for them
and they have good defenses there,
but the way Sophie's been approaching that
has been really, really impressive.
So I think that she's gonna be able to keep control of the center and to pressure pressure the side well and force slide into some
Disadvantages trades like this which end up with with Sophie able to capitalize a lot
See and yeah, that's all my catches that right on the the exact spot that you could hit such that you know
You can't take you can't do anything
Get the shines by great afterwards and call it a day that I mean you were talking about with a way
Sophie is controlling the center of the stage
I love that the fact that like
You go to this wider stage because lies done a really good job of just making it uncomfortable on that smaller like base stage of
Hodojo and everything but now at this point
You know you have a longer stage you have a room to breathe and Sophie is utilizing it to its fullest
Got a little bit antsy right there taking the down tilts on repeat
But hey we back off we dash dance we fireball. Yep, and right now she is
able to pick up another one of those I mean she's just looking so good right now and
And the fact that Sly needs to force the action is actually a huge disadvantage for the character.
Clarence is relatively good at comebacks, but isn't good at the actions that you have to take to force a comeback.
Forcing the tempo is not exactly what you want to do as a character.
And now, with Sophie just racking up 30% off the rip on his final stock, it looks like Sly is going to be out of this tournament
unless he turns it around immediately, like we really need to see him build out, as you know, just racking up a ton of extra percent.
The issue is like it's not only a clarion problem. It's a fighting Sophie problem
Like if you're watching right now slide getting in getting in deep and fast
Oh, they're trying to stay on top of it. No
Pop off and everything god damn Sophie on top of it three stocks and just a small misstep by
Sly leads to that game just being completely out of his reach
Yeah, wow amazing work from Sophie to come back into that one especially
You know, it felt like, it felt like Sly was so dominating a game one, that the way she turned it around, really, really impressive.
And it was immediate too, like, there wasn't that breather in the turnaround and everything, so.
We're gonna be heading to a quick break, so don't go anywhere, we'll be back with more top 8 action very soon.
Peace.
Ladies, gentlemen, at MBS, Queens, Kings, and all your royalty in the scene, you know what
it is, you know what I'm like, by the one, the only, the handsomeness, not gay man who
who would still kiss another man on a commentary block only for some reason.
Jeff the Jenga guy.
You gotta catch me at the right spot.
Right spot.
Right location.
When the mic is on the cast, it's a moray.
Yeah.
You know the vibes.
All right.
Speaking of lovers of Aether today.
We have got Rano and Zetter.
Rano and Zetter.
to speak in the Lovers' Vater today. We have got Rano and Zedr. The spicy action happening
in the Lovers' Vater community, but today they're going to be fighting, you know, a little battle.
Lovers' Quarrel. And these two players have quite a history between the two of them.
Almost all of them, though. Oh, yeah. We're talking about, oh, okay, yeah. What were you talking about?
Oh, I was talking about the game, of course.
No.
No, these players have quite a history between the two of them in this game, specifically.
I mean, 10 sets each, 10 to 10, with 10th one earlier today.
Yeah, they're 10, no, they're 20th one, 20th one today, because it's 10 to 10 with Sophie.
Oh, you're right, you're right.
Yeah, so Sophie was up, and then Tilda Rye today, so Rio, just like a kind of a dominating
But it really looked like Sophie was not all the way there mentally, right?
You know, it didn't seem like she was playing how we know she can play.
It was sort of like similar to the beginning of the set with Sly,
where she was sort of like letting things happen to her instead of being the being proactive and being the
cause that we see her at normally.
And I really am looking forward to, you know, seeing her playing in form so far and then, you know, seeing that
progression through the loose bracket, seeing that momentum carry forward into the set and
And seeing if it will change, you know, change what happens, because, well, I say, you know, if it goes the same way, it'll be all dry all the time.
Now, we are going straight over to Godi, which I can't remember, but I feel like it was Julesville for the first game last time.
Either way, though, you know what? This is always a good pick for Zetter. You bring in those ceilings farther down.
These platforms feel very good for Zetter to go ahead and cover across the board.
On the other side, though, of course, Rana, we've seen how to right-utilize those platforms into immediate fares out of the flat drop,
the needles to go ahead and maintain the control.
Now at this point, not able to maintain as much control inside of that corner,
instead Sophie breaking free, but only for a moment's notice.
Yeah, she is using a lot of her resources early.
She's trying to just find a hole in the aggression from her eye,
and that's how there were no holes to be found.
It was just a clean and simple edge guard.
I like that little tongue sling, yeah just mid stage, you know just keep keeping a little bit of keeping you guessing
And now yeah, he really wanted that charged up bubble
I mean I can't blame the difference if you get that bubble is just like 40 plus percent
So I I like to see it but now forced into the corner
So he is able to gather with a creative angle that's now catches the tech in with the aftron
See how the edge guard goes not even get the the tongue sling that you wanted to write
Oh, just gets back to stage somehow and just isn't punished completely. All right
I will say I like Sophie opting to go to reset instead of like trying to force it and everything
That was like one of the issues we were seeing at the beginning of the slide set
And so it shows a little bit of like growth right now for Sophie throughout this bracket and everything good shield
Not gonna drop strong. Yeah, I got with that kind of shield there
Mm-hmm isn't able to snag a ledger way could be a huge change of pace here as you see once again
Sophie okay, she gets the forward air all the way across no bubble for deriving
is gonna be some work to come back into this forward tilt. Yeah, that's how I'm able to just
grab the ledge of the tongue sling and now tech chase into the corner still looking so good for
to ride down truck does not connect and oh okay it's the four hook into the the spot dog. So that
was actually one of the big nerfs on shine is it just basically never knocked down now so oh and
yeah parry into down truck no more invincibility for you as derived running away with this game very
similar circumstance to what we saw in game one of the last set I mean you
think there's any chance for Sophie to turn this around or is it just gonna
keep looking like this the whole time I can never bet against Sophie and even
at this position Sophie is maybe the most explosive player in the world one
hit and she could just kill you she has the craziest most innovative advantage
say especially with setter specifically we're already seeing like that
Gatling into the strong that Gatling to get like 33% of everything right it's
just so hard to drive look at this pressure off stage forces you low gets
the kill nice and easy right yeah 55% not a not what you want to be dying at
especially when you when we saw the the kill at I think it was like 161 70 yeah
that was a tough ask to be in this spot derived is just playing super evasive
Once we get to those kill ranges and everything and not allowing for too easy of a moment
For for Sophie to get those kills and everything. We see her swap to the letterman jacket
Maybe perhaps have some rocks and hold on. Oh, okay. Yeah
What are we going? Okay, we're basically ready. Okay. I was like, oh, okay
I haven't really seen her swap before so I'm kind of surprised to see the letterman jacket earlier today
Okay, I just don't see much. She also used to be a black panther. Yeah, I do remember that. Yeah
But she usually like six the same one for a while
But not one has there's some players that like change throughout the brackets like for mental cues or or things like that
But she's a she likes to stay stay the same one. Yep. Okay
That was such a funny like interaction there just goes for I guess for a floor hug grab into just
You single needle like all right, you know what sometimes you just send it now you take what you can get
One of the things that I like want to dress on the stage
That's like a big differential compared to go die and I think the main reason why we're going here
Yeah
Is the right has a really good amount of platform play and so making those platforms a little bit farther away
Unless you're like wanting to go super high, right?
But at that point like so feel has more reaction time to how you are playing on platform
Yeah, and Zedder is very good on these platforms in general. Yeah, this is a this is a Zedder Zedder's playhouse
They love the stage and we'll see back here. Yep tries to go for the waldrum near but actually let's turn around on
Sophie finds a great catch. Okay a lot
I mean that's one of the best ways to deal with that
You know that dive if you just catch them at the very tail and there's literally nothing making do once they've committed to the downward dive and
Immediately continuing the aggression into the next dog. Ah look. I want to put it this out here
This is the best Sophie's look against a ride today. Yeah. Yeah, I mean
We'll see. We'll see how long it lasts. I really want to see her just like keeping this pace, keeping this momentum going.
Because otherwise, you know, like, when the ride is on, it's so, so hard for her to really deal with it.
But the way she's playing right now, it looks like she has what it takes to win this game.
It's very minimum.
I mean, four throw off stage to ride, just charging up the needle, air dodge through, use all of your resources.
Yeah, yeah.
You are dead.
It's back air. Look, if there's one move that you should be using against Setter, it is Ronald Bach air.
Yeah, oh, okay gets the pickup and how much damage we got 40. All right
That's a nice little 40 off the three stacks. That was a two stack. That was a two stack
second so far oh
Almost still there to get back in time to get up and get in the up air really just evening the game up
I mean, that's a huge momentum shift here for derile. See what he goes for but just getting you know black leds stolen away
Smart move there by Sophie and she is
Still kicking. See how big combos. Oh, doesn't get the grab fall up and still just yet forward throw when you when you see
She has the grab a lot of times if the fires on just consume the fire get that extra percent
It's just it's like hitting a strong attack. It's just so much damage
Yeah, but you know what? So you get a strong since that's for today. All right, that is the strong move of all time
Yep catching the
All the way it's the shine still good pressure here for it till no tech and that means big punish here for
Sophie able to keep the ledge pressure going to right trying to get that up strong and it's gonna eat
For it. She's fine. She's fine. That's crazy. He's living there
The thing is this is so scary for Sophie still even with always die you get
Yeah, it's just die especially against Ronald. I mean the key and not just Ronald
I like look at this right now. I'm strong. Yeah, but put you off stage. Oh, yeah
I I almost I thought he might have my mind of going to kick. Yeah, it's not gonna happen
Sophie does manage to clutch it out
But like you and I both had the the flash that is a drive on it. Is he going to be there?
Just dive kick up that your ride does that?
Like no, she was too high. She was too high. Okay. I think you get the like tip of the first of me
But yeah, but yeah, but she's in the bubble. She doesn't get connected. Yeah
But I mean, I don't know man. I don't know. I like the idea. He was he had planted it in our minds and like later in the set
He's gonna do it. He's gonna do it. He was right if it's the right option. He's he's been lobbying those a lot
He's been making sure that he gets it what it's correct
if
There's me if there's one thing you can say about the ride is the precision right be the exact understanding of
How and when that that trigger means get pulled. Yep. Yep
right and now we are fun this is a perfect stage in my mind really like
Kate if we're ignoring that like top-last one being a little bit lower
compared to some of the bigger stages okay you ultimately push those side
blasts out which Sophie has been getting a lot of pressure and kills off the
borders off the side on top of that I mentioned the fact that like Merchant
Port feels extra good against a riot and the way that he's been playing around
around the platforms in the center stage,
and now with those plots, they're like perfectly positioned
for him to maintain some of the control in neutral.
And thankfully, because of the farther away sides,
he will still get those early kills
because it's Rano's at her,
but we're mitigating that for her right there.
Okay, my biggest concern in this matchup
is the fact that he doesn't have the ability
to just like in what interaction put Sophie in the corner.
That's fair.
Like this is a stage that I usually see picked
when people don't want to be offstage.
If you are the person who doesn't want to be offstage, I mean, that's a good reason for this stage.
You know, you don't bat at in power four throw at 157. So that's a that's a big difference.
But I don't know. I mean, I think that I usually want to see Rando just one interaction putting me in the water.
So I think that that will be interesting to see how much that comes into play.
But right now it's working out well for him. He's living it a lot higher percents.
If he can manage to get this, you know, so be in the corner and get an early game.
That could be the huge differential that we're looking for over the stage.
Oh my god, don't need no game. We don't need no games. Dude. I look I know I talked about that
Oh, you're dead. What bro hop on hit the he lit of the bubble bubble. I forgot
Yeah, I thought he hit special bubble. We did it. Nope the bubble again bubble bubble, baby
Um, is he gonna add a back air dude, maybe
All right, all right, I apologize for forever ever
Doubting you on the stage, right? I get it. I get it. I will say he pulled out something that neither of us expected
Which was that crazy ass like platform conversion. Yep, so that could have been that that could have been enough
Say you spoke it as somebody who would have never hit that up strong me personally. I would have hit that
Once every ten times. Yeah, exactly. She only misses that once every like a billion times
No, the difference is you hit it once every ten times. She misses it once every ten times
That's real. So true.
So I know, I will say, even though he lived till 200, it doesn't matter if you don't do anything with it.
I mean, that allowed him to come back into the game when he was just so far out of it.
That's true.
He lost so many neutral interactions in a row.
Alright, you correct me, right?
I get it. I get the idea.
Regardless of if it totally pans out, the idea is there.
That's all you really need for a good stage pick.
Like if you have a good idea and sometimes it doesn't work out perfectly, but you know the game plan is there the game plan is ready
We'll try to go ahead and get a second bubble setup right there gonna get the kill that that's good. Yeah, yep, okay
It's rano, baby
This character is disgusting in this matchup, especially
Right now place to the corner immediately rolls in we don't want to put we don't want to play with self in the corner
Get away from me. That's actually crazy
He just went for it like as opposed to going to the tech case you just spawned a bubble
Yeah, he's like I need this bubble to live
Look, I'm going to 200 again. All right. Yes. Yep spawn the bubble. I
Don't need a I don't need to follow follow you up what I need is a bubble to protect me
All right, sometimes sometimes the bubble protect sometimes it don't
All righty now keeping it nice and even you know what the rise still got like a good 40% before dropping that stock
And now we got the pressure here on those plots
We saw it on that first stock this time Sophie ain't letting it happen again. Not today. Oh, but still she's very far behind
No, pretty decent chunk of percentage, especially given the fact that like she is not big either really goes right
Just run it away with these stocks
Oh back here. Oh, oh missus and still has chance
I love that for their mist and it did not matter. It just still just means to cover everything. I
I
Okay, I'm so I'm so blown away by how much better those platforms were like the upper platforms were
Yeah, I expected because I thought of like I didn't think that you would be able to get like I
Don't know maybe she shouldn't have tech left, but I did not think no
She should not have tech left
Like I'm strong hitting there. Yeah, that should never happen. You should never be
I guess you don't want to tech to the edge because then you can get forward over there
And that's bad too, but like not as bad as dying at 110, right? Yeah, definitely not
I mean look it turns out Zetter is not the only one with a good up strong to kill off of a low ceiling
Yeah
Now we're gonna go ahead bring those side blasts into the exact opposite of you know pushing those aside like fire
Capital we're keeping the doubles platforms and everything. It's rock wall, baby
We're we love the play to the center. We saw it against sly and everything
So be just such a good job of maintaining center stage control
Yeah, and now let's see how she ends up taking this one.
I mean, this is looking really good for it.
It is similar to the last game.
Like, it was very much Sophie in charge,
in control of the first stop,
but then derived it into a million times
in places where it really didn't seem like you should have.
And now, like, he's made it in the corner a little bit,
catching that bubble and catching these back hairs.
All right, up strong, not.
Okay, yeah, just power.
Wow, early enough.
Wow, put a little mustard on that one too.
I mean, that's probably like that little bit of charge is all all she needed to finish it off
That being said, you know what Derai knows how to finish off the stock right here back there to back there
Never mind. He doesn't know I might just go he doesn't know 22% though. Let's shop getting a shining to grab
For throwing I will for throw in fireball until it until it stops working
Hey, you know what it never does
That's the secret it always works. That's my secret. I always fireball
All right, Miss Tech here actually ends up in a horrible spot for Derai, forced to tongue,
does get interrupted and just into the bubble, able to get him out of harm's way, but I
mean, 103%, like definitely not the situation you want to be when you're already down a
whole stock.
Just going for the back here, Techchase doesn't follow up, and this means that Sophie has
a huge opportunity, oh my god.
We are jabbing.
Oh my gosh.
That was not okay. Oh, hey run it back. Goodbye. Yeah, I'm still I'm strong. Yeah, good enough for sheet good enough for me
Oh, well, yeah, I mean they patched that one out right that border remember when they patch for their
They've passed it out three times. It's still here. I tell you it's so fun to hit that and just know they can't kill it
What is that could never die? No, no, sir
Oh tries for the up tilt and everything. I love the idea, but you know it's hoping letting it happen to shine on wake up
Okay, and how huge damage right now into the spike but doesn't get the full follow-up just gets hit by the skin up attack and
pairing your own fireball is a different level of crazy. I mean, it's just suboptimal to to parry a
Move that has been parried back at you. It's so funny. It is funny. It is so funny. Oh
I got bad news
Oh nevermind. She's fine! Dang! Alright. No she's not. She's dead. She's dead. Alright. I thought so too. I got baited.
Uh, D'urai was tricking us there, but okay. Nice little, nice little charge up.
We haven't talked enough about, like, D'urai, and D'urai using Psybee, specifically for, like, Xenera's a character that once you hit that top level you're playing so grounded at everything and just mitigating the ability of Sophie to dash dance around and try to find those openings.
Yup. Okay, I'm still...
Oh my god, so many...
So many follow-ups here. Sophie is in such danger right now, but she managed to get a turn around.
Oh no.
And OH!
Should I get the verb?
No!
Ooh, she made a turn around the up strong.
But now Jorai is so low, it just isn't able to make it back.
Alright, let's just pretend the up strong hit.
The up strong hit.
I mean Jorai, he was just like, you know what, I actually deserved to die that up strong.
We need to go get him.
Yeah, yeah, go get him, bud.
Let's just be honest here.
honest here I'm sorry I'm sorry that the turnaround didn't happen when I showed up I died okay we're
going to the next one it's fine all right game five where where you go where you going dude that
fire capital pick worked out so well that was going but I don't there's not another stage that
mimics that yeah that one's that you know DSR out yeah we see okay Julesville yeah okay okay
Interesting choices. I mean you got hope dojo. I think
Dangerous versus center it is I think metal refinery in my head
Just because I think but that also might just be like I'm trying to coffee
Fire capital and you are gonna coffee metal refinery. You die. Don't you die at the top like yeah super bad
Like it's like you just I mean the thing is we also saw how like derive has been utilizing up strong. Yeah, it's true
It's true, it's true, but I just I'm always scared to go low ceiling. That's it. I got hyper boring harbor and yeah
Okay, we do. Yeah, I think the big thing is to ride wants to have access to like these platforms as much as possible
And then also lengthening the sidewalk zones. I think those are the two priorities for derisening plan
Yeah, I mean rip it and open with that up strong love to see dry going for that
It's just a his opener at low percents that cannot be floor hug. It's a great way to deal with it
Okay, reverse fair. Yeah, you're dead. You're dead. You're dead. I mean, okay
One way to start off a game, man. He's just extra heavy. Oh, man
Alrighty now the bubble not even stalling with the bubble like fast falling the downer to go straight through it
I have not seen that but you know what the rise surprises me with the recovery routes every time
Yeah, and now big opportunity for a punish there with the missed tongue
It does carry with itself some major risk.
Ooh, dude.
The hit pause with the bubble, like,
I don't know how Sophie is still getting the follow-up
after, like, having that quick little break
in between throwing off the timing.
Yeah, okay, but that time, three fairs
gets the job done, and despite the early stock loss
she has, very much in this game.
Remember when they patched that out?
Yeah, I do actually remember when they patched out Fair Fair.
But you see the thing is they didn't patch out Fair Fair Fair?
Fair Fair Fair? Yeah, yeah, that's the problem.
Speaking of fair it only oh my god. Oh my god. They don't they were so needy three two doesn't work
Up the oh my god incredible
And that is just that is just exactly what she needed to come back into this and now she's turning it around under I huge
Damage pops him in the bubble, but still just keeping the aggression going
Forcing him into the other quarter and now dry is able to turn around a little bit
How does he handle this just a simple back here?
She's gonna flip to the wall one more tiny chance, and it is gone
And we are on the final stock of the tournament potentially for Sophie
And she has caught a bubble the tongue is up and that tongue it just stops you you want to play ground
Are you want to play safe? No, you're done. You're in the bubble. You know what you're done
And this is what I was talking about. That's a dangerous proposition
On this stage versus Zedderberg Zedderberg's be loving this day. They pick it every match of my seed
It's it's that give and take it's kind of the unfortunate reality
like do you want to give up more of your game plan or do you want to like give
them better kill power? Yep. Great edge cancel there for Derive. It's nipped out by
Sophie as Derive's hunting in the corner really trying to fade all of the
aggression from Sophie. Finally gets that poison stack off but Derive
instantly pops the bubble up. Does not want to fight Sophie without a great grab
but it puts him right in the bubble a little bit of defense. Now Derive forcing
into the corner has another opportunity here Sophie. Oh she pops. She gets the
Techchase, she has, I hope the jump is forced out.
She has an opportunity here.
Gerai though, has been so evasive in chasing it down.
Once again, the shield is not enough.
Oh, we love that spot dodge.
We love that spot dodge.
That's our best friend right now.
Oh God, okay.
We're living for another day, but you know what, Gerai?
We are forcing the issue.
We are on top of him.
No, Sophie, no, she's in.
She's got the shine to the up strong.
This is why we talked about this.
I was a little scared about the stage pick, but and that is why just the early kills and that was
That was two up strong kills that made all of the difference
So he managing to get a job done and move on into grand finals after being re-old by the right earlier today
She managed to figure it out. She wanted to leave. She was done
She was she was get me out of here. Let me get you. Let me go home. I'm done with this shit
But now she's a grand finals, baby
dude
the stress
Sophie's got to be under right now and she just
The absolute comfort that she is showing right now throughout all this game five was fly that looked like it was going to go
The other way game five with the ride that looked like it was gonna go the other way
It's been back to back to back and she is doing it on their picks. Yep. Yep
All right, when do I get to start claiming NorCal security?
Is it now?
Is it when they're both a new?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Do we have two people with grand finals?
I don't know what you're talking about.
This is not NorCal, these grand finals.
Is that?
Double NorCal grand finals?
Double NorCal?
I mean, this is, you know, your average NorCal tournament here.
Soki vs. Elkies, where's Iad at?
I don't know.
Maybe he just couldn't make it.
He busted.
Yeah, unfortunately.
Yeah, yeah.
I hate to see it.
You hate to see it.
He wants so much and now he's just lost here at the pit stop.
No, no, no.
Alright, but that was not going to happen.
Oh, you're going to stop Gaslighting?
You're not going to Gaslight.
I'm not going to Gaslight.
You're not going to Gaslight.
This is, you know, for a while.
Some people don't be paying attention.
You know, I am not here at this event.
I am not here.
We wish he could have been here, but, you know, he's been a little busy with some other stuff recently,
so...
Could have had three NorCal finals.
Could have had three NorCal and Grand Finals.
Instead of it was a PNW and two NorCal.
True.
You're not even in NorCal anymore.
No SoCal.
Unfortunately, unfortunately for the hometown heroes, but I mean they put up they put up a valiant fight
But today, you know today was a North Cal day apparently
That's it often is
Oh, we can if you want we're chillin if we're waiting for so now we're good. I'd like to keep running. Yeah. Yeah
Yeah, okay, this is your home turf. Yeah, I would hope
I'm going to throw you a question and I will judge you if you don't have good answers. Yeah
This matter right here Elki Sophie, of course, they're known for being the aggressors and everything
What changes do they tend to have against each other?
What what do they don't see they don't change they're they're still going there just monsters
They're just absolutely like this is a
To make it a slobberdocker before the set even starts. This is gonna be a slobberdocker
You're gonna see just absolute absolute
Bipolarity happening on the screen there would be people
People going completely mad just offstage shenanigans offstage
You know aggression to the point that it is almost
Almost incomprehensible why they would even go for some of these options because there's so many layers that have been built upon each other
You know there's like oh, you know, I expect you to do this absolutely absurd option like a really really early up
Because I've played you a bunch of times and I know you sometimes do it
So they'll be like swinging at a ghost because sometimes it just won't even be remotely close to that
But you know that like in their wheelhouse is that potential recovery moves?
You're like I'm gonna go for a guess that if I'm right. Yeah, I just immediately win the game
But if I'm wrong, it's like, okay, I'm just wanting a complete empty air. I'm hitting ghosts
Hey, you know what sometimes Casper looks at you
I heard Casper talking some shit
Yo Elkies
Elkies
But Rainer or Maple
Both hell yeah, that's a vibe. That's a vibe right there probably hey, that's fair whatever wins whatever wins
All right, La Verena and Maple has been claimed. We'll see if it remains if it actually comes true
Last time Tyler was wrong about this. So I really that's why I'm not guessing. That's why I'm not guessing
All right, I was asking
No, uh, both characters definitely have a lot of like options to just blow-ups that are of course like Maple you have that
Discussing for you know, and Lorena is Lorena
Yeah, she is
You think it's debatable. Yeah, I think it's debatable. Lorena is Lorena. Let's hear from the ex she's got a mask on
She could be anyone. Oh, you know, wait
She could be a boat a boat. Yeah a
Boat with a mask on
You never know you never really know so right yeah, you know underneath our masks
Who are we truly?
Nothing
I'm just a mask. I'm the mask entirely. I'm the voice. You're the mask? The like Jim Carrey movie?
Yeah, the mask. That's me.
Personally, I'm a can of Red Bull.
At this point. You're literally wings. Yeah, I'm literally all wings. All wings all the way down.
Like one of those people with accurate angels. Yeah.
Just massive eyes and wings. But lots of Red Bull.
Shadow Red Bull for sponsoring this event and his stream.
Shout out to Muggle Moves for putting it on and everything with the help of the Downback Club.
Pit Stop, baby. We ran an almost 60 person bracket under two weeks.
Yup.
That's some crazy prep time.
Yup.
Alright, we are getting into it now.
We have Lorena as the first choice.
Definitely something I'm looking forward to.
You know, scary is kind of wild.
You know, she's not the character I expected.
I expect her to be when she came out, but she's still crazy. She still has a lot of just absolutely absurd moves
And we're gonna be seeing a lot of that move that's side B move she
I gotta say it's insane for you to say this is not the character you expected when this very much feels close to the rivals one version of her
Yeah, I mean, I don't know
I don't really I mean the way a grappler like archetype in rest like sort of a grappler wrestler archetype would feel is
is is different than what I think of when I see the actions that like Lorraine is taking it's a lot more fast-paced a lot less like
You know set up the entropy. It's more like I'm sorry
It's right
It's a lot more set up in trappy than you know than the
Brutalist grappler a lot more offstage than I expected yes true um especially when you're dying at like zero percent
Yeah, that's not optimal. I don't know about how much you but I actually I've been maybe I've been thinking about this game
And I think that like when you die at like really low percents. That's bad. What do you think?
Well, here's the thing, I know Elkhuza is phenomenal, and so like, I don't know, maybe she's got the strat, maybe you like die early, make your opponent underestimate you, and then you can do silly things to them that kills them early.
And does doing silly things win the game?
I'm just, I'm just curious for the fans.
Historically, historically, yes.
In this game?
Shout out Zeus to Goose.
to go so yeah I don't do that on Zeus any crag really doing silly it's a jet I
think that is a powerful as powerful strategy except of your jet except of
your jet alright moving right along here it's the you know it seems like
Elkies has sort of found her rhythm a little bit but it's that's that aggressive
air dodge yeah that's what she loves doing that I feel like she's one of the
only players I see actively doing that in yeah a lot of circumstances I think
Yeah, she did. It didn't matter. We shone fair.
That was near. We near fair. Same move.
It's a circle, circle, circle.
Exactly. And it sets up into a fair.
Sure. Same move. Okay.
You need to look at the maple.
Okay, look.
She said both. She did say both.
This is that one. Elkes hasn't played for like 40 minutes.
It's been a while.
She needed a little bit of warm up game that happened sometimes.
Sometimes the the player from losers almost always has like a pretty big advantage game one like just momentum-based
I think the other part of it too though is like even though like Lorena historically has like a really hard time with Sutter
Not with Sophie's that are because Sophie is specifically aggressive and you have to play very slow to like do well into that matchup
But it also just didn't matter, you know if you're killing yourself off-stage early then, you know, that's don't estee
Why? Oh, it's bad. Okay. Yeah dying is bad
Mm-hmm across the board to then you don't get as many chances
Okay, I'm learning a lot today. Thanks. I hope you guys are enjoying this going on a ride where we learned all about the game
from Rival Vader 2 about how dying is bad. I'm your
AT&T scientist dying is bad. Don't do it. Oh my gosh
All right right now
He's trying to not die trying to live trying to live here is able to get out of the quarter
See if she can find an opening against Sophie who's just really feels like unassailable at the moment
Just every single interaction. It's like the worst you the best you get is a trade with her and she is just
Finding everything against like look at look at this massive opening that she gets, you know
I guess it was only 26 but it looked like a lot but it looked like a lot and
No stop right there for LT's that hella unfortunate
not great she once again gets caught by this forward air trying to try to get the edge
card and hold it cheered up for straw you get since so far you take so much damage this
is that top layer of soapy you know this is what I was talking about like when soapy
is switched on when she's really got it going it's it just looks completely like she she
is untouchable like how do you how do you fight somebody like this honestly I wish
I had the answer if I had the answer I might be up there playing this truly, but I do not so I will
Off her powers. I'll tell you one thing if I had the answer. I would be so
I'm going to get rid of fireball love that yeah
Yeah, you're gonna get rid of the maple though. Yeah much better
I mean it's powerful option powerful killing your opponent guaranteed once you grab them is a very powerful option
I think I would have we get to see a three stock. Okay. No, we're not wait
There's always a chance that angle that angle was so good great little edge cancel there
She's not what she wanted all oh little hurtful. No, it's what she wanted. Yeah, she's moving. Oh my god, not not dead
And okay finally managing to find that down strong
No three stock, no three stock, but I mean damn close. It's gonna it looks like unless unless she turns it around immediately
Elkies is in the corner once again getting fared. Yeah covers or that Terry really well
That's one of the things I've noticed. I've noticed that's what he's been doing is covering covering the tether to Terry super well
Yeah
What is that though will only cover the tether to themselves and not Terry? Yeah
Yeah, I mean it's also nice that like just in that position you have such a big move
That's also safe right yeah, I mean, I just use I just down strong as crack
Angry baby angry baby. It's just kind of works. Yeah, and there you go. So I'm strong
Yeah, I mean try to speed right her way through this bracket. I'd be just all right. She still wants to go home
She's just going the other direction like she's going the long way the scenic route
Try to try to hit the beach on the way. All right. We back to the right back to the right. I like it
Yeah, I think Lorena has I think there's some ideas there the Lorena took a stock while dropping through stocks at like zero
The maple took a stock while not yeah, I mean the math math that the math be math
and uh, yeah
Let's see. I guess it's here goes. I think there's there's room to grow here for for Alcheese
She definitely has some possible chances and also she has a she's all set to play with right like this is a technically
You know technically a free set
She uses this for data.
All data, alright.
We're here at the AT&T Science Bowl.
We're focused on data collection, alright.
We have the hypothesis, but Elkies wants to be a little bit more sure than that.
And so, so far, the data going pretty good though.
72 to 55 put in the corner, and way too aggressive.
Does not matter. We aren't up strong the wrong direction.
I want a Psypey counter.
Psypey counter?
I think we're at sick with stock already.
Unfortunately at the AT&T Science Center, we have not found a way to count up to a number beyond Googleplex.
Yeah, yeah. Numbers just don't go that high.
Unfortunately, the calculator just starts adding E.
Alright, and she finds a nice little connection, but it doesn't result in anything.
She tries to cat. Man, he's really trying for some big reads, not working out.
And that's just like a thing where she could have cashed out on a downtron, right?
Like yeah, I'm trying to cut all tech options there, but she often instead you go for the astronaut
Which probably would have killed so I it's just like a big risk for for what you know?
All right, I know she managed to get a sock anyways there nice nice work
I'm still still down in a big way, but this is my sign ups right one sign up strong. Yeah, it's just not strong
Just enough strong. Yeah, you're on fire. I can do it. Yep. Oh
It's the rain it's oh god. Oh, no
Yeah, immediately flip the other way
Yeah, one win if it's all it took that's one of that's like the huge disadvantage of going for these dash tacks
It's just like if you miss it if you know Zetterbird is too close to ledge if she avoids it
You're just like in a horrible spot. You just have no chance of coming back. Yeah
Again, it's just like she goes on stage. Should we be doing that? I don't know
Also, that's the fourth time you got with get up special like come on
You know what sometimes you see red and you just want to like get up in there. Yeah Zetter
He's uh, he's just a greedy guy. He really is yeah, I mean
He's a greedy gal play this greedy guys
Get him off stage. We don't want to play with this other guy anymore. Okay, I
That's a tactic with finally it didn't with that was a all you needed one took a lot of time
I mean, I think you need a little bit more than one. No, no, let's see. We need to all right. Oh
God that's it. Oh
the answer look here the AT&T science center we have some answers for you the
answer is the Alienware keyboards we don't have any obligations I don't know
what you're talking about I am a shill through and through all right
all right but hey that was okay take it again sides of life yeah it worked out
And I mean hey considering the fact that you have another stock and not just another set to play with right
You've got plenty of time here Sophie though. Just maintaining that corner control. I love this how patient she has been with it
We're just sending it with the F tilt and everything shine up air
It's the classic. Yeah, still managing to make it back good trade there. Oh, just kidding. Yeah, that was a great trade for Sophie
It looked like it was a good trade. I'll take 5% you lose your stock your entire stock
Yeah, you know sometimes the stock trading it doesn't work. Yeah, I mean, that's why that's why it's risky out there guys
Don't be trading options
Not your financial advice
This is a rival to buy stream and my advice hit them with Lorraine in there and that moves crazy
Don't miss your dash
So far I'd like like these some of these aspects are just like so far off
I'm like, I remember what I said at the beginning of the set. Yeah, you told they were gonna swing
the ghosts out here
Speaking of cuffs we have strong gas for
Okay using that
Chairs stall a little bit. Let's see. You know what one of the things that I've noticed that I haven't seen a lot of
He's is he's going for for back here on on the up your recovery like that's one of those things
You're so right completely un-techable. It's something that I expected to see out of her because it's it's like something
That is like really good counterplay and in a lot of circumstances
I'm wondering why we haven't seen any of that
It feels like that is one of cornerstones the edge guarding that I've seen out of certain
It's for set to that's for sent you. Okay, sure. My surely surely
She said she said she's in a back air for such it. Okay, that makes it look the hypothesis is
Oh, we got the side B go ahead and put her back in the corner. All right. Oh, dude aggressive chair right there
I like the chairs. I think I think chairs underutilized. Amen
Not bad though. She loves that chair
Dash jack and she doesn't get the legend time
That was one of the times where like if she had snagged the legway in that exact spot
It would have been a great opportunity
But now she finds herself in a bad position making some trades
Let's go back. I don't know. I don't know. I will say that's like a clear forward one, right? Am I crazy?
Yeah, I felt that for sure, but you know, sometimes you get a little fancy
Well there up you has she's chair lion
Okay, no she hadn't but it didn't matter of course you love
What one of the things with those dash attacks in like game one and game three?
They were missing because just Elfys wasn't positioned right but in that game for Sophie just had caught on
You know, it's like I I think you like this dash
Yeah, all right going into the next set we see I think that's Lorraine again. It was Lorraine, right?
I can't see it. There's a camera covering it bad. It is. Okay. Yeah, Lorraine again
Look, I mean ultimately we did a really good job with that game
Right and you still haven't looked out the back or that you're saving assuredly for set to surely we see some
Uh, oh, no, um, so game one a set one is back
It never left Julesville SD
It's actually crazy
So insane that it's not really once again on the exact same same normal see exact same way
That's a crazy up you to go for. Oh, hey, are we gonna kill it? Yeah, it's dead
It's fine. It's fine that we drop that stock
But imagine if we hadn't
You know ultimately we have no idea it because that world will never come to fruition
So we live in a world where Sophie is heading for there's a deep off-stage. She do be doing that
There's the back here, but not the right direction. Okay. I'm a little worried
Set one game one return
All right, it turns that around
No ability to maintain the corner pressure selfie just immediately crash-cancels immediately gets the shine just not bad damage
We are keep the pressure rolling
All right, yeah, it's game looking kind of over
Dude that that we could operate a put her right back in the corner. Yeah, okay. Wait wait. She's cooking. She's cooking up
So she has a chair up here. Okay damage big damage big damage chair
We look so remember what I was talking about. Yeah, that was a ghost. That was a ghost
All right, we get back to ledge we get the bread if we get out of that pressure we I'm strong for the love of God
Get this kill
All right, and another Ford strong doesn't do it. She's a lot. Oh
no
Yeah, never mind. No, it doesn't go far enough that one
Dude, I love these up these down where to get the ledge. Yeah. Yeah, crimson feet. Yeah
Yeah, yeah about it. It's just okay. We've seen this before oh wait
She was a hair too late damn, that's why you got to have a hair trigger
Hey trigger just like being a hair too late
Dude the up be confirming into up strong on top of that is even worse
Honestly, every time I see Uffy from Zedir confirm to Upshrong, I die a little inside.
I live a little inside.
That's just one of the most egregious things in the game.
It's like, why does he get to, if you make a tiny mistake, just kill you for it?
Hey, next time?
Edgeguard me.
Fozo.
Oh, she was trying.
She was trying.
It's a little off.
Now, we're onto this game with Nidelta.
She so so elkies did kill herself and basically zero it might have been literally zero it was like 11
I think yeah, basically zero last game and still was just like still on a couple frames away from winning. Oh
God don't get it. Yeah, you always roll out get out of there. Don't don't play with that
Don't mess with Lorena. Don't be with Lorena in the corner. It's just not a safe place
It's like that moment when you go to like the wrong truck stop
This is the wrong pit stop.
Honestly, I'm happy that that chair was there for vlogging, because otherwise she might have
just fallen to her death with a gun.
So the chair actually, yes, you're doing that balance just to mess with Sophie's timing
a little bit.
I like the idea.
It's like, am I going to dash attack again?
I know you know I love dash attack, but not anymore.
Yeah, okay, Sophie though.
How did that hit?
That never misses against me.
tech tech roll so it was invulnerable during it okay what's the plan here oh okay no plan no plan
at all no plan all right you just winged it look hey the hypothesis only takes you so far you need
to wing it so you get stuff like that after all that you just AT&T science center we be
winging it. That's a red bull
sign center. We be winging it.
True. All right. Once again,
not functioning. It's just
setting up for the worst
position ever. Oh man. Oh,
the dash is off the chair for
the near that she does. She
does like that. She's not a
lot. I like I like that little
bounce because you're actually
Slable to get back no problem
Theoretically, yeah, okay. Yeah, dude. It but rena has a crazy recovery once you learn it. Uh-oh
Yeah, and that's one of those things we're like if if Sophie spaces perfectly around that that
That have strong it just becomes a liability to even go for it
Yeah, it's so vulnerable after the fact that's one of the reasons why you see the chair placements with it and everything right
It's a guarantee that it's an up strong baby. You're dead. You're gone
You know, maybe I'm maybe I'm a you know, not very good this but it seems like when I see
Elki's not so surprised. She just does really well. Yeah
Yeah, it's really interesting. She did a 57% combo that I didn't know was a thing
She was bouncing on that chair like crazy. She'd be bouncing on it for sure
I'm saying dog. Like goddamn so though that fire racking up the percent. Nevertheless, Sophie caught up right back up
Oh wait, there's still a stock behind. Yeah, I forgot about that. Nevermind.
Okay, we got the shrine. We got the up strong. Yep.
No, just a 76% differential. And honestly, that's not that scary.
Like you're Sophie, you know how to make that up pretty quick. Yeah.
Uh-oh, it might be there.
What the?
That hit in every other universe. Wow, and now suddenly Sophie has come alive and yeah, okay. A little bit of baiting.
She's playing with the chair a little bit. She's going crazy.
Oh my god. Who are you going to call?
Go the Spusters!
Oh no. The fair.
You're in the corner. Get out of the pocket.
Thank god. We got out of the pocket.
Yup.
Oh, still just another chance here.
No!
Oh my god. Oh no.
I can't believe she went for a bubble.
That killed.
He cut the bubble.
That's not killing without the bubble.
Crazy the genius crazier thing to me is her not going for the special pommel because it turns you around there
Yeah, and for throws a better better kill. Yeah
Not she's a genius. She's a she really was she's a genius. So if he was not ready
to
to die that
That's that's layers man. Yeah
Of course, that's it is like like an ogre that's like an ogre. It's just like an onion or cake or cake or parfait
true. I fuck with our face. Amen, brother. You couldn't be
Shrek. You might be donkey though. Yeah. What an ass.
Oh, no. Get back to stage. Elkies. Thank God. Elkies, please.
Please. I'm talking about you for one second and you just start
throwing the stock. Like what are we doing? Oh, yeah, I love I
love when chooses get up special and the chairs. The chairs
My favorite. Oh my god the chairplay is so cool, dude. It's like Apple CarPlay except for it's with a chair
It's not a worry. What was I thinking of course we reversal it? Yeah, of course we air dodge aggressively and get a kill because
Why did you let me reversal you? That's the elkies air dodge man. Elkies air dodge man. Also. Here's the delay there
You go crowd. Yeah, that's what we're popping off
about crowd yeah it's Elkie air dodge in the porter it's crazy come on you're
not streets ahead all right and that's that's another thing there a lot of
times Elkie's has been throwing off the timing for Sophie yeah it's the chair
like she'll be she'll be bouncing on the chair she'll be slamming into the
ground you know it's crazy her work with his chair she's so creative on it and
It's just it's just so unique. Oh dash attack. It came through. Oh my god. She hit a dash. It's a real move
I mean, we see why she goes right. She was right. So I risk high reward the hypothesis works
Eventually
Sometimes you lose four stocks to get one
That's the important one. That's the important one. That's all that matters. I mean it might be all that matters right now
If she wins the set up of it like oh no
Oh, okay. All right. We'll take it right there. Once again getting some some healthy traits
We won't we won't use but that time not working out and so he has a
Plus how do you oh right right doesn't even pass. Sorry. I was like, how did the fire get removed? I forgot that
Yeah, we're near and vulnerable. It gets rid of it now. Thank God. Yeah
I'm as it's that or I'm just
Forgot about that because it you don't see it very often. Yeah, it's a crazy thing
Speaking of crazy things, uh, Elkies, what are you doing here?
She's cooking.
Cooking with gasoline.
We're playing with the chair.
Look, she's not even fighting the ghost or the demons inside, she's fighting her own
chair.
She's like, you know, this chair looks like it's in 2-bit shape.
How do you start beating it up?
And these look-
What's the character into it?
And these look ready for the WWE.
Alright.
Oh man, okay, let's see.
If Sofie can secure the edge guard, no sneaking past it with the side view.
No.
She had an up strong if she wanted it, but she wanted to go for even more.
She wants to have strong, all right, Jeff?
I mean, she wanted it, she got it, and she got a chair kill.
I mean, you talked about the WWE.
She's prepping for it, all right?
She is giving you that chair blow to the chin.
She wants to be promoted, you know?
She's looking to be the headliner.
Exactly.
I heard John Cena stepped away, all right?
Look, I couldn't see him, that's off.
I couldn't, there's nobody on the stage.
Why was there no one on the stage?
There's no one on the stage, man, give me the spot.
All right, and Elkie's now one game away from winning this tournament.
All she needs is one more.
We talked about all those times she missed the dash tag and it don't matter if the last
one gives you just the one to stop the game in the tournament.
This is what it's all about, baby.
Merchant for it.
It's that setter classic.
These platforms so good for a reason.
I mean, Sophie already racking up 60% Giss grab.
Immediately after, thank god.
Yeah, she'd be taking that.
That was a scary spot.
I know a guy who didn't learn to take it.
That's crazy.
What are you talking about?
What happened?
Yeah, somebody was supposed to help in practice
and then bailed out for a commentary ball.
What a loser.
I know.
I'm saying, uh-oh, fireball.
It's kind of get, fireball, again.
Sophie?
OK, she's fine.
She fine.
That would have been crazy.
If she just died for that, yeah.
But she ain't, uh, jump used.
Even, even here, still able to.
No, it's not.
No, you're dead.
Yeah, and that's because she used her jump early.
That was pretty much a user jump. I don't know. Oh, that's not that you wanted the hypothesis didn't take this into account
She even tried to get the follow-up like that was the correct follow-up. It's just
Pating out the like
The get up attack there. That was a grievous. Oh my god. They're early hit dash back into up the
Oh, alright she's cooking a little bit there, she's cooking!
She is!
How did that chair, the hitbox went just by Sophie?
Oh no.
That was crazy.
She just put it away before the hitbox came out and now that means we are sitting in a
barely even game until Sophie opens up this can of whoop ass on Elgis right now, just
throwing so much crazy percent.
Oh, on the back here on the shield doesn't connect.
Now this means so if he has another chance to keep the combo going
Bounces on the chair once again, so we just get that chair out of here. I'm shining on it
I do not want to deal with this chair no more. Unfortunately that chair isn't the problem is the ant
All right, the ant caught the chair. Oh, no, this is an extra problem. It's double trouble. This is Jesse and James right here
Got it off gotta hit him with the Thunderbolt Pika. Come on. Come on Zetterburn
Okay, that's strong, you didn't hit your perfect angle, sometimes you're not perfect on it and that means that we are on a final stock potentially.
Sometimes you get hit by shine, that's part of life baby, that taxes and Zetterberg shine.
The three consistencies, speaking of consistencies, dash attack, dash attack.
Uh-oh! Oh!
Still trying to find an opening here.
And once again, using that balance to just make it so...
The timing mix-ups, they're really, really hard to track down.
Elkie's immediately after that, gets the tech chase, looks for the tech,
and she wanted that tech in so bad yet!
Just quick dash away into those little bits and pieces of Elkie
switching the momentum that makes it so hard to play against her,
against her but instead we're going to see dude stop getting wave shot oh my god
there it is it's elki's in the chair a steel chair
oh wait pick up he picks up the chair she
ah don't fall she knows what she owes that success to it is the chair it is elki's taking
down the five k-pop motors pissed off here in southern california shout out to boo who
Who should make it this happen is down at the North cow and healthy's for taking this old part of it down
She's on the floor. She's on the floor. She died. She died
What hell yeah, what a great spot to reversal you are getting dog watch across the whole stage
Shine down there shine down to hit a tech for the love. Oh, there it is. Oh, okay. There it is
There it is
