21:32.720 --> 21:34.480 I don't know, I gotta go with Lemon Day, 21:34.480 --> 21:36.080 not because my name is first, 21:36.080 --> 21:39.080 but it lasts the whole day when we're casting. 21:39.080 --> 21:41.200 And we keep people busy. 21:41.200 --> 21:42.920 We are professional noisemakers 21:42.920 --> 21:45.080 and we're gonna be making a lot of noise today 21:45.080 --> 21:47.040 because it's been an exciting day of life. 21:47.040 --> 21:49.880 It's going to be a bunch of very important matches. 21:49.880 --> 21:51.960 We're here to see who gets into the playoffs. 21:51.960 --> 21:54.880 And unfortunately, who's going to be waiting until stage one 21:54.880 --> 21:56.200 until they get to play again. 21:56.200 --> 21:58.520 But it's awesome to be next to Lemon again. 21:58.520 --> 22:00.680 We've had a lot of experience working together in the past 22:00.680 --> 22:05.320 as Lemon Day, and hopefully that shines through here in rivals. 22:05.320 --> 22:07.160 We had some really awesome results 22:07.160 --> 22:09.520 that happened in this past week of competition 22:09.520 --> 22:13.320 that will go over throughout the competition this weekend as well. 22:13.320 --> 22:14.280 But the one thing you need to know, 22:14.280 --> 22:16.720 we have a single team that has secured it for the playoffs. 22:16.720 --> 22:20.960 so far, that's not being no big surprises. They played through their matches, they dominated 22:20.960 --> 22:26.080 all three of those, so definitely keep an eye on the rest of the groups to see who actually makes 22:26.080 --> 22:31.440 it in and who has one last chance to qualify for those playoffs. Again, it's not all for 22:31.440 --> 22:35.760 not, you still have stage one even if you don't make it into the group stage, so that's something 22:35.760 --> 22:39.760 these teams can look forward to. But the big thing to note for this week guys is that we're 22:39.760 --> 22:46.400 actually going to be on the newest hot picks in terms of having the buffs for White Fox. You have 22:46.400 --> 22:53.200 kind of the HP nerf for the Elsa bloodstone and then some deadpool shenanigans were toned down 22:53.200 --> 22:58.640 a little bit in terms of the duelist pool. So in terms of the Elsa here leg day, is the 25 HP 22:58.640 --> 23:03.920 nerf gonna be enough for these players to really decide if they want to or go in the band phase 23:03.920 --> 23:12.000 or not? No, thanks to you. That's an easy one. White Frogs, I do want to talk a little bit more 23:12.000 --> 23:15.120 about those changes for those, you know, you've been playing on the live patches, 23:15.120 --> 23:18.400 the tournament round must have been a little bit behind for it as well.

They prove that knowledge isn't just power, it's control. 23:38.080 --> 23:42.080 Step to the spotlight with Invisible Woman's Rian Londo. The debater and Mr. Fantastic's 23:42.080 --> 23:46.960 Danum Kent, the Professor Costumes, where intellect becomes the ultimate weapon available. 23:46.960 --> 23:53.520 Right now, April 2nd, 7pm PT, to April 30th, 7pm, the Civic Time.

They're not the pocket team, a pocket thing for a team that wants to surprise them. 27:36.500 --> 27:40.340 I think we've only seen a one-on-one, like a map 3 super occasionally, super rarely, 27:40.340 --> 27:45.620 but also the Museum of Contemplation is a huge favorite amongst our players 27:45.620 --> 27:50.580 as that picked for the second map. But Vaudible, I'll break this down for the 27:50.580 --> 27:53.540 and locks because that's very different from MRC. 27:53.540 --> 27:57.060 Exactly, yeah. If you banned something, it's banned for the other team, not for yourself. 27:57.060 --> 27:59.700 And if you protect something, it's only protected for your side. 27:59.700 --> 28:02.980 So being on either the left or the right side, the attacking or defending side, 28:02.980 --> 28:07.220 it's super crucial for that. We'll get more into it when we're actually talking about the matches themselves. 28:07.220 --> 28:12.260 These are the team rankings currently. And as you see, Navi already qualified with three points into the playoffs. 28:12.260 --> 28:18.260 But they want that number one seed. They want the best odds and not having to face Virtus Pro as early as possible. 28:18.260 --> 28:21.660 So they're playing against heretics later today. That's gonna be a better to keep an eye on on 28:21.660 --> 28:26.780 But the big thing too towards the bottom apps and pulse are fighting it for their lives here like that 28:27.180 --> 28:30.100 Yeah, peps and pulse out. They are going up against each other 28:31.180 --> 28:34.140 Potentially avoid last place in the group 28:34.140 --> 28:36.460 They've still got a little bit more legs in them when it comes to 28:36.580 --> 28:40.260 Earning some of those points on the other side VP only played two matches so far 28:40.260 --> 28:43.100 But has walked away with a pair of points on the same for rad 28:43.100 --> 28:48.140 And it seems like this group is really starting to crystallize with VP and rad floats into the top the matchup between 28:48.140 --> 28:52.140 most who is going to be definitely the ones who watch all three be this week. 28:52.140 --> 28:54.140 And crowd calls on that chopping block. 28:54.140 --> 28:56.640 And Division really surprised us, right? 28:56.640 --> 29:00.940 Votable from last week, but Brad and Virtus.Grow are so perfect. 29:00.940 --> 29:03.640 2-0 wins, not dropping a single map. 29:03.640 --> 29:06.140 We're really excited to see how those teams clash today. 29:06.140 --> 29:08.840 And these are the matches to keep an eye on for today as well. 29:08.840 --> 29:14.040 The main one, Navi vs. Heretics, decides the top of Group A most likely. 29:14.040 --> 29:16.640 Also VP vs. Vision, both teams undefeated. 29:16.640 --> 29:24.040 can't vision keep the hot streak up and then reason that versus Rad is it going to be our first series of the day and a 29:24.040 --> 29:29.880 lot of questions remained after Mente's interview the manager for the team and said oh, you know, we got dfp and ballast 29:29.880 --> 29:33.640 But they're on loan their substitutes are they gonna be playing today? We have the roster 29:33.640 --> 29:38.320 We know who's playing on the scene give you a little bit of insight once we actually have the graphic for it 29:38.320 --> 29:43.840 But so talking about the win conditions for these teams, I mean, I mean or reason gaming 29:43.840 --> 29:51.840 How do they usurp the throne that Rad Eastport have really helped themselves to such a higher caliber than other teams from the MRC circuit? 29:51.840 --> 29:56.840 That's an important point you brought up though about just all the roster changes that reason came in the past. 29:56.840 --> 30:01.840 They've only had two matches and they've played with different duelist lines, different bengar lines. 30:01.840 --> 30:07.840 The strategist lines are extremely interchangeable, but the coolest duo we're looking forward to seeing is not the ballast match one, 30:07.840 --> 30:13.200 match one symbol ballast match to lose so Alice seems to be that mainstay and 30:13.200 --> 30:17.320 like that we know him as that they carry that Elsa player out before the scene 30:17.320 --> 30:21.200 Alice but you know changing your roster so much does affect on the time you 30:21.200 --> 30:25.840 have together yeah like when you change your roster that much it can be like 30:25.840 --> 30:29.520 especially bringing like you said a carry like ballast suddenly ballast is 30:29.520 --> 30:32.640 surrounded by people they don't know as well and like well I've got a carry 30:32.640 --> 30:36.700 because I'm on Elsa I'm just gonna trust that my team are gonna be there 30:36.700 --> 30:42.220 when I go in you probably done this before if you scream to them played ranked you kind of get 30:42.220 --> 30:46.620 rid of the brain disease where you're like you know what I can make this play like I got this 30:46.620 --> 30:51.100 on my team I'm gonna try and make this play they're gonna be with me your ranked strategist maybe 30:51.100 --> 30:56.220 not quite as aware it's a good look into reasons roster and look at that we've got some pretty 30:56.220 --> 31:00.940 pictures ready from reason nice to be seeing everybody here and Simba definitely has been a 31:00.940 --> 31:05.420 big addition to this roster doesn't have a huge amount of experience at the ignite level 31:05.420 --> 31:10.780 that's far but has been picked up from the uh the mid rankings of MRC by racing who clearly see a 31:10.780 --> 31:16.540 lot of talent in Simba I want to foster that. And Kika yeah that's true yeah I was about to 31:16.540 --> 31:20.220 mention we have a little bit of a different roster than you see on screen that is playing for this 31:20.220 --> 31:25.980 DRP is actually in Anso's ballast sub in from the the Lunex loan as we were talking about but 31:25.980 --> 31:30.300 you also got to mention this rad roster a big thing is since we have those subs is that they're 31:30.300 --> 31:34.460 actually playing against the old chop team or at least half of it which is what you see on 31:34.460 --> 31:39.500 this RAD team as well. The Crazy Kitty definitely expects some big things from them on their side, 31:39.500 --> 31:44.060 but kind of key players, Lemon, you would say we should highlight from this RAD roster. Who would 31:44.060 --> 31:50.300 you have in mind? Yeah, my favorite being Crazy Kitty. I just became a number one Crazy Kitty fan 31:50.300 --> 31:56.220 from MRC. Absolutely insane on the ELSA, but then you got the Smash and Mash. Like, I already love 31:56.220 --> 32:01.980 like the chemistry of the names, but... Sounds like English breakfast. Actually, yeah. Like, 32:01.980 --> 32:04.220 Is that British somehow? 32:04.220 --> 32:09.180 Smash is a brand of mashed potatoes, like instant dry mashed potatoes in the UK. 32:09.180 --> 32:14.700 So it definitely checks out in having the color narrowly aligned names. 32:14.700 --> 32:16.860 You got Ducky and Yukiya on the Vanguard line. 32:16.860 --> 32:22.460 So that has some mythical bird and then Ducky less mythical. 32:22.460 --> 32:27.820 But very mythical in games is what matters. 32:27.820 --> 32:29.020 Exactly, exactly. 32:29.020 --> 32:31.340 But looking at these two rosters, I think the big thing is, 32:31.340 --> 32:35.600 Okay, this is the roster we saw actually get the win for recent game. They stuck with it 32:35.600 --> 32:40.840 They decided in the back end is like, okay, we saw this is our best chance for success against rad 32:40.840 --> 32:44.660 We're gonna throw it back in it to you the fold and see if that is enough to take them down 32:44.660 --> 32:49.780 And that's the big question you can reason gaming keep their group stage dreams alive 32:50.220 --> 32:55.220 Against a ratty sport ready sport though if they do get the win here that does guaranteed and the number one seat 32:55.220 --> 32:57.220 at least for now until there's pro play and 32:57.220 --> 33:14.220 and also a berth in it to the playoffs there specifically so talking about that leg day it sounds like these players are getting ready to get this match underway in mere moments and for that as well I mean reason gaming what do they really need to focus on to try and take down rat. 33:14.220 --> 33:19.580 I think just integrating ballast in terms of being able to direct all those resources towards ballast 33:19.580 --> 33:22.460 Especially if we're gonna see an elsa versus elsa match up here 33:22.460 --> 33:25.980 We don't know whether these teams are gonna prefer banning the gambit or prefer banning the elsa 33:25.980 --> 33:29.500 But it seems at the moment the meta is crystallizing in the met in the bounce 33:29.500 --> 33:35.260 So I try and get rid of that gambit first which is likely gonna mean as long points out earlier crazy kitty versus elsa 33:35.260 --> 33:41.580 as one of the mainstays thus far and it feels definitely like rather much more used to getting 33:41.580 --> 33:44.700 and getting crazy, getting all those resources. 33:44.700 --> 33:45.800 Well, we have our first map. 33:45.800 --> 33:48.180 It is Cracola that we are going to. 33:48.180 --> 33:50.140 Rad, they have a win on this so far, 33:50.140 --> 33:51.680 but this is the first time on stream 33:51.680 --> 33:53.940 a reason are playing on this map. 33:53.940 --> 33:56.420 So maybe not as experienced as they would like, 33:56.420 --> 33:59.100 but also makes it so that Rad might not have the strategies 33:59.100 --> 34:01.380 to ban against them here, Levin. 34:01.380 --> 34:03.580 But Rad are so strong on this. 34:03.580 --> 34:06.820 If we all watch Rad versus Crownfall, raise your hand. 34:06.820 --> 34:09.780 I did a 200-zero Crownfall, 34:09.780 --> 34:13.140 And I was already super hyped about Crownfall coming out of MRC. 34:13.140 --> 34:19.140 So if Radkin 200-0 Crownfall, then I think they could maybe do the same thing to 34:19.140 --> 34:23.540 Reze it. And they showed some really cool compositions, whether it's around Lugia's Hulk, 34:23.540 --> 34:28.500 which we don't get to see every day. Ducky on the Groot, making sure everything is boxed in. 34:28.500 --> 34:34.500 Even had Emma from Lugia as an Emma main, I'm so stoked to see more of her in-game. 34:34.500 --> 34:38.980 Please, I know she doesn't have as much wind percentage as we saw from the stats that were 34:38.980 --> 34:44.580 release from the most recent season but come on Emma's so fun to play but we will get to see the 34:44.580 --> 34:48.420 compositions of what these teams come out with in mere moments again they're just getting ready 34:48.420 --> 34:52.660 in the background pattering their noses and getting prepared for their big day view in 34:52.660 --> 34:58.100 week two reason gaming of course for the roster for those who might be interested to know exactly 34:58.100 --> 35:03.540 who they're playing with KitKat, Tejaro Ballas, Naktah, DRP and Passawo that's the team to look 35:03.540 --> 35:08.660 out for in this specific series but I can be up all day but we have casters to bring you the action 35:08.660 --> 35:14.900 it for this matchup. Reason Gaming vs Rad group stage. Playoffs are on the line. Let's get into it. 35:38.660 --> 35:45.300 found it. But hey, reason, can I cope here for a second? Reason's best look was on Krakowa. 35:45.300 --> 35:49.380 Reason fans, I got you. Because they went up against Vision and they went all the way to 35:49.380 --> 35:55.540 around three on Krakowa. So that's really exciting. But it was also playing with DRP and that's what 35:55.540 --> 35:59.380 that means though that we'd love to see from it. The first question for Manzis here. This probably 35:59.380 --> 36:02.580 means that Reason is going to go for a triple strategist lineup. This might be all about 36:03.220 --> 36:08.180 maybe just hyper pocketing ballast. I think in the Elzels or in Van Der Wey, you can see ballast 36:08.180 --> 36:13.060 probably going to be hovering over here on the sideline. This is Balas's signature hero. Back when 36:13.060 --> 36:17.860 they used to play for Alcanza, it was a real start, standout on that roster. They're protecting 36:17.860 --> 36:23.540 Ultron as well. This is a very strange draft, but recent gaming, like I said, they're just all 36:23.540 --> 36:27.540 in on this triple strategist here. This is all about giving Balas double damage boost, 36:27.540 --> 36:33.300 both from the Mantis and from that imperative patch that comes through from Ultron. And like 36:33.300 --> 36:36.600 I'd be seven, I appreciate it. This is just all ballast all the time. 36:37.100 --> 36:42.700 And the reason are that you need team, they really like even playing Jeff so much with a damn bit. 36:42.700 --> 36:48.600 No better, by the way, none of these teams don't really lean on the Venom dive as much as others do, 36:48.600 --> 36:53.900 but they get away away from the dive so much on her color domination. 36:53.900 --> 36:59.700 Got another Ultron Protect, so especially seeing Ultra, these triple strategist lines, 36:59.700 --> 37:03.140 as a more offensive of variation of it. 37:03.140 --> 37:05.500 You could see it with usually a Mantis, 37:05.500 --> 37:08.180 or depending on what the spiritual thing is, 37:08.180 --> 37:09.580 it'll have some invisible movement. 37:09.580 --> 37:11.220 It depends on what the teams want, 37:11.220 --> 37:14.060 and I love this meta on how diverse it is. 37:14.060 --> 37:16.980 Oh yeah, we have plenty of diversity here. 37:18.020 --> 37:19.780 And that's gonna be shown out well, 37:19.780 --> 37:23.060 not just to move on to swap everyone to that strategist role 37:23.060 --> 37:24.940 from the usual duelist as expected, 37:24.940 --> 37:26.380 Balas currently hovering a Sallik. 37:26.380 --> 37:28.140 I'm surprised you didn't see a van. 37:28.140 --> 37:32.300 Everyone was so like after getting rid of the elsa full side of Razz 37:32.300 --> 37:36.380 Cause that would have taken away one of the boutsest other hyper carries here 37:36.380 --> 37:40.860 But maybe you're a little bit catching your best if you can deal with a single duelist 37:40.860 --> 37:43.140 That is the uh... 37:43.140 --> 37:44.140 Or the horse 37:44.140 --> 37:46.140 Something else as well from Lugia, I love to see these 37:46.140 --> 37:52.700 And he's playing it again, it was so fun to see how him and Ducky on the Groot at the time 37:52.700 --> 37:57.700 I'm trying to own that space and 37:57.700 --> 38:01.700 you didn't get to see too much white 38:01.700 --> 38:02.700 box. 38:02.700 --> 38:06.700 We're kind of figuring out what 38:06.700 --> 38:07.700 we want to go with. 38:07.700 --> 38:08.700 What is going to be the 38:08.700 --> 38:12.700 with that old Tron and Ducky is 38:12.700 --> 38:14.700 going to be on the needle. 38:14.700 --> 38:16.700 Smash is the one on the Elsa 38:16.700 --> 38:20.700 and that balance is stuck on the 38:20.700 --> 38:23.700 Alright, let's see how the first one goes. 38:23.700 --> 38:28.700 All the things I already talked about here with Passivo in particular for Venom is great at what we call a soft fight. 38:28.700 --> 38:33.700 Just going in with their quick frenzy arrival and instantly getting out off the force and resource, 38:33.700 --> 38:37.700 not really putting much of their energy on the line to claim their enemy's base. 38:37.700 --> 38:42.700 Passivo really does get to play some Deadpool or the Venom, 38:42.700 --> 38:46.700 and he is going to be the one to lean on where usually Forever is the one, 38:46.700 --> 38:52.140 is the one I've had the secondary thing done to end the Warp Massive, to get all the support from DRT. 38:52.140 --> 38:57.100 DRT, as you say, with these bubbles, but that's a great first pick from reason. 39:11.100 --> 39:15.100 So much damage used when you have the Ultron and the Mantis. 39:15.100 --> 39:18.700 I'm gonna make diving onto a myth. It's very fun. 39:18.700 --> 39:27.200 When you're just gonna suffer from marco let's see what reason or not suffering from having a coin with a passive dodge from Passy Boe and a rattle with a key. 39:27.200 --> 39:32.000 Mainly just poking things down, protect the else's opposition. 39:32.000 --> 39:36.000 I'm looking to see my show of how strong the white fox is after the town. 39:36.000 --> 39:37.500 Nobody looks good on it! 39:37.500 --> 39:38.700 He's gonna dance a little bit. 39:38.700 --> 39:40.500 Have you all heard the thing about it? 39:40.500 --> 39:44.500 Like it from the start of the white fox, I'm like he's in front of my door. 39:44.500 --> 39:50.000 He's gonna go all the way around, and he's gonna look here, getting healed after being asked on the other side, coming with a lobster as well. 39:50.000 --> 39:55.300 So it's kind of appealing to go around for everyone, and that burns through blue hell rather quickly. 39:55.300 --> 39:57.700 And so the venom is gonna be in a very difficult position. 39:57.700 --> 40:04.500 DRP needs to anchor down, on the point dragging in WS to bring up their metacurt and deduce some of the incoming fire. 40:04.500 --> 40:08.340 And now Lugia drags everyone forward, ready to go absolute world breaker mode. 40:08.340 --> 40:15.060 DRP is somehow still alive, the Apex Predator thrown out by Smash and Reason had not fallen yet. 40:15.060 --> 40:20.980 The Venom chops down DRP Meteor and Ratter fight tooth and nail to get the point back. 40:20.980 --> 40:27.220 Crazy kitty, big plays already, but World Breaker ready to break down the worlds of reason gaming now. 40:27.220 --> 40:30.340 kick can't go to be continuously pummeled away from the fight or 40:30.340 --> 40:33.460 chiling that solar surgeon grouping together to try and supply 40:33.460 --> 40:36.180 balance and indeed even on the second attempt of the dancing of 40:36.180 --> 40:39.220 butterflies there's no value to be found but Ducky for now just 40:39.220 --> 40:41.140 gonna keep it a little bit calm doesn't want to move forward 40:41.140 --> 40:43.540 into this for 80% already for a reason they're running out of 40:43.540 --> 40:46.820 time and just takes one more fight to win the round and like I 40:46.820 --> 40:49.380 said this is probably one of reasons the best maps and he 40:49.380 --> 40:53.380 forced it all the way to three in their very first match of 40:53.380 --> 40:59.780 Ignite. RAD though will have to lead that charge here very soon. Lugia is getting active, 40:59.780 --> 41:05.300 but removing these anchors from reason has been the biggest challenge for RAD. They need a convincing 41:05.300 --> 41:10.260 fight win. Are they going to flank with Lugia? There needs to be more commitment than just Lugia 41:10.260 --> 41:14.180 going after the strategist and reason gaming. They're not hitting this up. 41:14.180 --> 41:17.180 Last control on the off angle here could be imperative. 41:17.180 --> 41:20.180 Lugia's even got damage boosts as they just continue bubbling down BRP. 41:20.180 --> 41:23.180 Who can't stand up to a virgin fists of fury? 41:23.180 --> 41:27.180 They're given over by Lugia at 99%. That's going to be the flip. 41:27.180 --> 41:32.180 And now Rad had to play flawless from here on out. 41:32.180 --> 41:37.180 Expect Ducky to be the one that anchors that objective to stay alive, to stay at the front. 41:37.180 --> 41:40.180 As soon as that health drops, expect that Meteor M2 come out. 41:40.180 --> 41:46.260 to come out, but Noctav could even start draining those health pools with the ultimate and the reason gaming 41:46.260 --> 41:51.220 they're in a comfortable position to build up for those ults and just pilot on to the point. 41:51.220 --> 41:58.420 Grad though, you need to see Lugia take some initiative as he always has and he gets pulled and that's what you gotta be careful for. 41:58.420 --> 42:00.420 He does escape to his team. 42:00.420 --> 42:05.420 I'm trying to open it up. This is going to make sure that Pato can stay in for a while longer as well. 42:05.420 --> 42:13.420 Down into Badafor, the AXX Pro, so it's really peeled for with the Meteor Rem from Ducky to make sure that they can deliver everyone back to the Elsa. 42:13.420 --> 42:20.420 But it seems that Casualty is going to be confirmed here. Pato will demand an imperative patch drone worth of healing from Nocturne and Ducky's standalone. 42:20.420 --> 42:25.420 So much of healing, Ethan, DRP drops a big one on Lugia right there. 42:25.420 --> 42:27.420 And that is going to be a forced reengage. 42:27.420 --> 42:33.180 It's going to be also only one from C-Trove, ballast hangs out above waiting to try and 42:33.180 --> 42:39.020 destroy that nine-tailed fox form and not just getting even more, just flanks him curiously 42:39.020 --> 42:43.740 above it all but it's far from magnanimity which is given over by the ultron, a flight 42:43.740 --> 42:48.180 away from Luna but directly into the hands of ballast and Lugiego might have to try 42:48.180 --> 42:51.980 and stand up to all of this alone as W's bought it on up. 42:51.980 --> 42:56.580 Lugiego with a quick reset and rad, lose out on the first point. 42:56.580 --> 42:58.660 Wait, what a show for reason. 42:58.660 --> 43:02.260 What a showing from reason to be able to stall out these fights 43:02.260 --> 43:06.740 to the point where you're at 99% before the flip goes through. 43:06.740 --> 43:09.900 But out of running triple strats, they only have one duelist. 43:09.900 --> 43:12.020 All the eggs are in the Smash basket, 43:12.020 --> 43:14.380 and they are the ones who got Smash. 43:14.380 --> 43:18.300 Smash was not part of that final fight, got picked off, 43:18.300 --> 43:19.580 and then like you pointed out, 43:19.580 --> 43:24.100 you had the double straddle to midst of Fox and the Luna Snow. 43:24.100 --> 43:26.740 So that's just not something you want to really mix up. 43:26.740 --> 43:28.260 You're trying to stagger that. 43:28.260 --> 43:30.940 And the reason we're able to match strat for strat 43:30.940 --> 43:33.860 and able to stall out until eventually the damage 43:33.860 --> 43:36.700 of the scale is tilted in reason's favor. 43:36.700 --> 43:39.660 Watch out for what reason can do on Krakowa. 43:39.660 --> 43:41.460 But despite going to round three, 43:41.460 --> 43:44.500 reason did drop the snap in the past. 43:44.500 --> 43:48.900 So it's about not always how you start, but how you finish. 43:48.900 --> 43:49.780 Yeah. 43:49.780 --> 43:51.660 Lugia giving up the Hulk. 43:51.660 --> 43:52.980 Heading over now onto a event. 43:52.980 --> 43:56.340 I'm seeing the way that Passiwo was getting here, especially the slows and the back of those 43:56.340 --> 43:58.660 uh, cellular corrosion tentacles. 43:58.660 --> 44:02.580 Really good at making sure that this engage can be a little bit too hard to manage. 44:02.580 --> 44:06.820 As we roll out here, Ducky's once again going to be leading the way, but can't afford to get surrounded again. 44:09.140 --> 44:13.220 Udia, I think wanted to be able to go deeper with his dives. 44:13.220 --> 44:17.700 I like this Venom choice and there is so much verticality on this map. 44:17.700 --> 44:22.580 Already the dive initiated from Passiwo, but you don't have, uh, you do have a magneto 44:22.580 --> 44:29.740 for Passivo, but not for and also for Lugia. But Crazy Kitty has banked this one up, lets 44:29.740 --> 44:35.420 it rain to support Lugia, who's been exiled since he's almost saved by this moment, and 44:35.420 --> 44:37.540 the cap has almost gone through for Ratt. 44:37.540 --> 44:40.580 Yeah, this is dangerous times here for the Alpinist to try and stay on the point, but 44:40.580 --> 44:44.260 you better believe a lot of the pressure is going to be going away on that Magneto. Quick 44:44.260 --> 44:48.540 pop in here from Passivo to keep this one contested, Lugia gets already used, her own 44:48.540 --> 44:53.060 symbiotic resilience and finally it seems like reason getting me to stepping up sort of play on the point 44:53.060 --> 44:59.700 Why just a range of ultron here just that burst healing over onto a venom smash an S3 apex browser in the back pocket 44:59.700 --> 45:04.100 No, you can't do what they want. In comes a feast of the abyss and boy is he feasting 45:04.220 --> 45:07.500 Battles for Chargerill on top of it just for a little bit of added flavor 45:07.580 --> 45:11.340 And why it's difficult to try and take out match in that box form 45:11.340 --> 45:15.020 It is gonna be easy to catch the point with RAD since scurrying away 45:15.020 --> 45:20.360 And it's been so important that RAD do not have a Mantis for this triple strat. 45:20.360 --> 45:26.420 You only really have a strong CC of the Luna Fox to stop these Venom Dives. 45:26.420 --> 45:31.920 Like, yes, White Fox can delay it a little bit, but the sleep has been so critical for Mantis. 45:31.920 --> 45:34.320 And that means Smash is not being peeled well enough. 45:34.320 --> 45:41.120 And you have that apex predator for that fight, but was never in a position where you could find a good lane to throw that down. 45:41.120 --> 45:43.120 But this may be the perfect moment for Smash. 45:43.120 --> 45:45.120 and they, if the pins line up. 45:45.120 --> 45:48.620 Spectral Surge, unable to try and get the charm down onto Patsy, though, 45:48.620 --> 45:51.620 will interrupt the symbolic swing if it can be found, 45:51.620 --> 45:54.120 and controlling the hydra if you're a super important for Smashners, 45:54.120 --> 45:56.120 giving the popping off, the Glar Trubs into the back, 45:56.120 --> 45:59.120 that is a huge piece to see if it's the entire backline, 45:59.120 --> 46:01.120 because that's healing impact debuffed. 46:01.120 --> 46:02.620 Up comes the sanctuary. 46:02.620 --> 46:05.120 It's gonna be an exchange between them, they might meet us, 46:05.120 --> 46:07.120 a bit of pelt each other, who have meets your rem. 46:07.120 --> 46:08.120 They're now starting to freeze the kid, 46:08.120 --> 46:10.120 he's trying to make something work here with the Rage of Ultron, 46:10.120 --> 46:12.620 and on top of it, we've got an untailed pop storm as well, 46:12.620 --> 46:16.400 as well, and then you need to move towards the back line. But once again, it's real value 46:16.400 --> 46:21.400 from St. Louis, but no delay with Noctua coming to me while I turned around into a bad position. 46:21.400 --> 46:25.960 There's just so much healing, and then goes over to Alistair the Mall with a singular use 46:25.960 --> 46:30.120 of the Fate of Both Worlds balance call for Spectral Search. Now Crazy Kitty easily ever 46:30.120 --> 46:35.760 just rains, flow bees down upon reasons, defense. But quicker flip this time, the password is 46:35.760 --> 46:38.560 going to exchange HP for a bit more percentage. 46:38.560 --> 46:43.760 Now having that later fated both worlds as you pointed out, the strategist also in effect 46:43.760 --> 46:48.560 kept RAD sustaining and kept the fight in their favor at the end. 46:48.560 --> 46:52.920 And thank goodness they flipped it at the around 70% mark because this is how reason 46:52.920 --> 46:56.480 gaming won that first round on cradle. 46:56.480 --> 46:58.720 The way that they're able to stall off to 99%. 46:58.720 --> 47:01.680 Now RAD have a chance, but they don't have any ultimates. 47:01.680 --> 47:03.200 It's a big investment. 47:03.200 --> 47:08.080 Look at how passable is going to take off this fight with his and ballast choosing to 47:08.080 --> 47:12.080 to go to the Phoenix, this is gonna be what rains down hell on this team. 47:38.080 --> 47:43.820 fire from above. Every stagger here is going to be critical, and Ballas' mechanics are 47:43.820 --> 47:48.720 on full display. He needs to be pressured off his diagram. Look at Lugia to soft dive 47:48.720 --> 47:53.680 and deal with that, but a few more seconds for reason gaming to claim before they steal 47:53.680 --> 47:59.880 away a map one from a favorite. Rattlesore have never lost a map, so this would be insane. 47:59.880 --> 48:02.520 I'm crazy keen to try and take it and learn hands here. 48:02.520 --> 48:06.280 Don't want to lose a map and it starts with a rage of ult from a quick charm onto multiple players. 48:06.280 --> 48:09.980 Respectful surge gets its value as well, so follow up with the foxes and maples. 48:09.980 --> 48:13.780 DRP and Passivo. Instantly down, the meat is gone. 48:13.780 --> 48:15.780 Now that's a quick retake for reason gaming. 48:15.780 --> 48:21.280 Odd effort ahead of RAD to catch up in the score though and any missed step will be the end of this map. 48:21.280 --> 48:25.880 And it is a best of three, so there's not a lot of second chances we're gonna get. 48:25.880 --> 48:31.640 but the apex predators can be even better for Rad to defend with and the true vanguard ultimate. 48:31.640 --> 48:35.880 So reason gaming happens to fight into this. I want to see these flyers be controlled the 48:35.880 --> 48:41.800 high ground to get Nocta in a best position to let his rage of Ultron unleash and straddle 48:41.800 --> 48:47.240 Smith in favor of reason gaming so if they can get control of this point the sustain will be in 48:47.240 --> 48:51.800 their favor. Okay rage of Ultron from a little bit further away that's going to tear through the 48:51.800 --> 48:56.800 the health of the venom there. A quick teleport away, smart play. It's going to be moving 48:56.800 --> 49:05.240 quickly over onto that run. And so not to just be able to continue pounding down from 49:05.240 --> 49:11.200 above. We don't have a pause coming in here, but we can quickly talk about RAD and what 49:11.200 --> 49:16.000 they are going to be able to have to play with here. They've got two Sanchez ultimates, 49:16.000 --> 49:19.600 but the Kumiama leashed, and the fate of both worlds. So I think that they are going to 49:19.600 --> 49:23.040 to pull through on a defensive, which has got so much sustainability. 49:23.040 --> 49:27.680 And so much damage from the recent gaming side that just activated the Mantis ultimate, 49:27.680 --> 49:32.480 so I'm looking at Ballast to end this once and for all. And Van, we're already getting a shake-up 49:32.480 --> 49:38.160 guys in our very first match, but like recent gaming are just this close to a win. 49:39.120 --> 49:43.280 I literally can't believe it. I think like if they do win this series, the first interview 49:43.280 --> 49:46.800 question I have in my mind is like, how did you guys come up with this competition? We saw a little 49:46.800 --> 49:51.400 a little bit of it from Shikigami, but now we see a year coming out to play from Reason Gaming, 49:51.400 --> 49:54.600 and I think a lot of teams are realizing, oh, this actually works really well. 49:54.600 --> 49:58.100 The high ceilings that we see for this specific map, it works pretty decently too. 49:58.100 --> 50:03.500 There's some decent positioning that you can have with the ultron behind, like, the stumps on this specific sub map as well, 50:03.500 --> 50:09.400 so it's pretty great to see the strategy that's coming out from this kind of pick and ban line that we saw from them 50:09.400 --> 50:13.100 that's unorthodox compared to what we saw before, especially the ban and play. 50:13.100 --> 50:15.300 I love that coming out from Reason Gaming, 50:15.300 --> 50:16.900 and they almost went for the ban on RAD, 50:16.900 --> 50:21.260 but I think the Invis ban was actually really big here, Levin. 50:21.260 --> 50:24.860 Absolutely, and also the difference of having a Mantis 50:24.860 --> 50:27.780 to no Mantis, the double damage boost from Reason. 50:27.780 --> 50:29.860 You're putting all the eggs in the ballast basket, 50:29.860 --> 50:32.260 and Manus, he's delivering with these picks, 50:32.260 --> 50:34.700 and Reason only need one fight win 50:34.700 --> 50:38.700 to give RAD their first map loss over pre-season, 50:38.700 --> 50:41.700 which is, I would say unexpected, 50:41.700 --> 50:49.700 But like I was saying about earlier on that the best version of reason we saw was when they went around three against Vision on this map. 50:49.700 --> 50:54.700 So I had an inkling that maybe the chaos of domination really favors that reason. 50:54.700 --> 51:02.700 Yeah, domination, I mean they've done pretty well so far on that. So it does look good. I'd like exactly the band line that we had from them here. 51:02.700 --> 51:08.700 It's also interesting too that they focused on, you know, the gambit to make sure that that was taken out of the equation. 51:08.700 --> 51:13.740 they've banned Gambit they've done somewhat well so it worked out out to start there and hopefully 51:13.740 --> 51:18.940 for rad sake depending on how this map goes they can figure things out for map too but it makes sense 51:18.940 --> 51:23.820 why they wanted to make sure that their network connectivity is as good as it can be for this 51:23.820 --> 51:28.940 map here like day because this is down to the wire between these two teams. This down to the wire 51:28.940 --> 51:33.980 not much is for sure the thing that I've been looking at here is like the new combo from reason 51:33.980 --> 51:41.180 We're used to, in pro rivals, seeing a lot of Endgame Inferno, Phoenix, Ultimate, and Magneto's Meteor M 51:41.180 --> 51:46.140 POMBODE for burst damage. But the interesting thing here is that because we're not dealing with too much over health 51:46.140 --> 51:54.620 among the Tragists that Rattab, we're seeing a Feast of the Abyss and Endsong Inferno combo, which is quite interesting. 51:54.620 --> 51:55.260 It's really good. 51:55.260 --> 52:00.220 Feast of the Abyss, it does a lot of percentage health damage, as well as applying that healing debuff, 52:00.220 --> 52:04.860 But against like a huge amount of healing that we're expecting from a team like Ramp Acid, 52:04.860 --> 52:09.580 like the Luna Snow, for a fate of both worlds, it does seem like it's able to try and break 52:09.580 --> 52:13.660 through those strategies to also find the casualty. So a little bit of innovation here 52:13.660 --> 52:18.540 from reason gaming and you love to see that kind of innovation be rewarded with results. 52:18.540 --> 52:23.500 I was also curious like when we would get to see this combination from other teams in terms of 52:23.500 --> 52:28.460 like the Luna Snow and the White Fox combo, the Luna Fox or whatever they want to call the duo 52:28.460 --> 52:34.860 there as well, between these two. But I mean, having that Charmed, I really just want to 52:34.860 --> 52:38.860 call back to the Charmed that we saw happen on Ballas, right, as they are using the Dance 52:38.860 --> 52:43.260 of the Butterfly in point one. Like, that was insane. I still can't believe they pulled 52:43.260 --> 52:47.180 it off. I thought just the ult somehow didn't work for some reason, but now it's just the 52:47.180 --> 52:51.900 skill of these rad players. And I feel like if they use those Charms a little bit better, 52:51.900 --> 52:56.780 it might work out to their advantage here. But it's a tough spot because, again, having 52:56.780 --> 53:00.180 the Mantage damage boost I think is a really big difference between the 53:00.180 --> 53:03.920 potential of like getting your ults up a lot faster but also infirming those 53:03.920 --> 53:08.580 KO's especially with ballast swapping from the Psylocke to the Phoenix they've 53:08.580 --> 53:12.140 just been able to be so much more lethal it feels like and not it focused down as 53:12.140 --> 53:15.820 much as they were Jen. Yeah and you pointed out kind of the charm of the 53:15.820 --> 53:19.380 white box and how it canceled that dance of the butterflies in the round one I 53:19.380 --> 53:23.340 think leg they spotted that so very exciting but also exciting to get back 53:23.340 --> 53:28.320 into game so it was nice talking to you Vod but we have a map to finish or a map 53:28.320 --> 53:30.920 to extend and we're right in the middle of the fight like that. 53:53.340 --> 53:55.340 coming flames of a phoenix up towards the sky. 53:55.340 --> 53:56.780 Smash this in the middle! 53:56.780 --> 54:00.620 The elephant gun, the monster piercer tears the reasons vanguard. 54:00.620 --> 54:03.500 And now it has to be done to fight for it to try and stay here and the rest of all this 54:03.500 --> 54:07.180 crazy kitty hides behind the log while channeling the rage of Ultron to just try and get that 54:07.180 --> 54:11.100 passive healing and keep them in the fight running out of overtime and pass towards two 54:11.100 --> 54:12.700 hides and get there. 54:12.700 --> 54:15.260 We're going to go to a- wait, that was rad? 54:15.260 --> 54:16.260 Oh, okay. 54:16.260 --> 54:18.980 Rastuva- Rads able to grab it. 54:18.980 --> 54:21.620 Recent game means they'll go to a map through here. 54:21.620 --> 54:28.360 Now we're going to Cradle once and for all reason gaming, making this a marathon, not 54:28.360 --> 54:34.880 just a sprint, but smash with the beautiful pigs at the end, turned in their favor, crazy 54:34.880 --> 54:39.400 kitty surviving with the rage of Voltron got so dangerously low, but played around the 54:39.400 --> 54:48.280 cover of the stumps that surrounded the objectives so well, scrapping away, but now this point 54:48.280 --> 54:52.520 particular is a little bit less forgiving for those flyers not as much 54:52.520 --> 54:56.080 cover and it depends on where you want to take that initial flight on the high 54:56.080 --> 54:59.960 ground or towards the point. It also takes some time for the point to unlock 54:59.960 --> 55:05.680 but we've really set two different flavors of compositions and Lugia don't 55:05.680 --> 55:10.000 tease me with the Emma. I'd be so excited because the Emma is so strong at 55:10.000 --> 55:15.120 peeling for these soft dives that Venom brings you. Oh she clearly pulls up by here 55:15.120 --> 55:20.960 from Ducky. Who is the mugging target? Kit Kat's the likely one here. You can put it in the door 55:20.960 --> 55:25.040 trying to guarantee that someone's walking on through, but nice. It seems to be avoided. CRP 55:25.040 --> 55:29.760 is who they want rolling on through with the diamond form already, but straight away in comes the 55:29.760 --> 55:33.760 metallic barrier, and it seems like Reason Game would be able to slip through the clutches of 55:33.760 --> 55:37.920 Rav. They're expecting this one already, and now Rav, they only have low ground patrol. They need 55:37.920 --> 55:42.320 to rotate around. I like that Rav is using the cloak and dagger too. If you're going to play this 55:42.320 --> 55:46.560 more frontline brawl than the Terracave is just going to be able to maximize damage because that's 55:46.560 --> 55:52.640 what Rad felt like they lacked and why these fights seemingly go on forever. They want to end it once 55:52.640 --> 55:57.600 and for all, but the picks from the sky is what I'm talking about. These Flyers don't stand a chance against 55:57.600 --> 56:02.480 Ballas. Yeah, the double damage from Ballas is just absolutely deadly. Masha's gone too far, all out of 56:02.480 --> 56:06.560 tails, all out of hope, all out of friends as well. Osage Road is down, there are still two 56:06.560 --> 56:11.360 strategies to try and play with and the quest to play from the Cloak of Dagger is not enough to save 56:11.360 --> 56:16.720 their first cap goes to reason and you're able to build up to almost what four 56:16.720 --> 56:21.560 ultimates from the side of reason we've talked about Venom being that setup guy 56:21.560 --> 56:26.040 and passiwos proving that reason gaming can this could be the meta for them if 56:26.040 --> 56:31.280 they keep leaning on this leader and ballast to finish it with the combo we'll 56:31.280 --> 56:35.200 see if they opt for that but be able to defend these are some tough choke points 56:35.200 --> 56:38.960 that right up to get through not not even excluding the fact that ballast is 56:38.960 --> 56:41.280 It's all for Engling and being a nuisance. 57:08.960 --> 57:10.280 Crazy Kiddy's gonna give them one. 57:10.280 --> 57:14.400 Parage of Ultron is gonna tear through Paso O's over health in short order 57:14.400 --> 57:17.060 and both Vanguard's gonna have their health shut down. 57:17.060 --> 57:18.280 Smash Ness is gone. 57:18.280 --> 57:20.600 The carry has been slain. 57:20.600 --> 57:25.640 And now from the Sky Ballast, rains down fire and Vertigo is the direct target. 57:25.640 --> 57:29.400 And this is 85% for reason gaming and RAD's backline is in trouble. 57:29.400 --> 57:34.600 There's not much of a commanding frontline presence from Ducky to protect these strategies. 57:34.600 --> 57:38.800 You cannot be having them get picked off like this and when it rains, it pours. 57:38.800 --> 57:43.560 It's a bleed into a hemorrhage 95 plus percent reason gaming looking to close out 57:44.240 --> 57:49.960 Smash their stands alone ballast burns them down reason gaming take them out. What a coup 57:50.880 --> 57:53.740 Overran there was no way anyone predicted this I 57:55.240 --> 58:03.800 Certainly did it but this was looking like the strongest map in their pool and they were able to perfect their execution 58:04.320 --> 58:07.000 And go the distance of course 58:07.000 --> 58:13.960 ballast none other than him as the MVP, the Phoenix, the off-engling, the mechanics 58:13.960 --> 58:17.960 hit all of these headshots, the picks in their favor, and also just had a stronger 58:17.960 --> 58:21.840 Vanguard presence from the reason and they were able to keep their backline 58:21.840 --> 58:26.320 so far out of reach from Brad that they weren't able to tilt the 58:26.320 --> 58:29.600 scales when it came to the resources. 58:29.600 --> 58:33.160 The pass away, being able to put out so much more damage here than Luki ago, I think there's one 58:33.160 --> 58:36.680 for more tellings, stat lines, just able to get so much more out of these soft 58:36.680 --> 58:39.880 thighs and honestly the big difference maker of that was Seijiro. Seijiro was 58:39.880 --> 58:43.840 sitting every single force visits every time Lugia tried to get out, they were 58:43.840 --> 58:47.360 getting pulled out of their symbolic swing and then was in a very difficult 58:47.360 --> 58:50.500 position without any resources to really keep them up because so many of them 58:50.500 --> 58:54.880 were being given over to Smashnares to try and match Balas's ability to play 58:54.880 --> 58:58.680 those off angles but the real difference maker as log points it out in our break 58:58.680 --> 59:02.840 was that they have her in this band so when Balas is playing these off angles 59:02.840 --> 59:09.340 they get the Guardian Shield, and they can easily output Smashness who has a lot of trouble breaking through that barrier. 59:09.340 --> 59:16.840 And just this map too, it's not as friendly for the Groot, and Ducky has so much more time all night, and we've seen him on the mag in the past, 59:16.840 --> 59:23.840 but just wasn't able to be that confident vanguard at the front, and mag can do a considerable amount of damage, 59:23.840 --> 59:28.360 which is to even start pressuring those strategies. 59:28.360 --> 59:31.880 And I felt like reason gaming strategies line 59:31.880 --> 59:33.800 was just a lot more well protected. 59:33.800 --> 59:35.760 They have less deaths as a result, 59:35.760 --> 59:38.000 like Sager only has one death. 59:38.000 --> 59:39.840 So that is enough evidence for me 59:39.840 --> 59:41.400 that they were just more survivable. 59:41.400 --> 59:42.240 Wow. 59:42.240 --> 59:43.080 Yeah. 59:43.080 --> 59:45.400 And so when you're through a time, 59:45.400 --> 59:46.920 look at our replays here. 59:46.920 --> 59:48.320 And of course, it is going to be filled 59:48.320 --> 59:52.880 with plenty of reason, gameplay, DRP and balance. 59:52.880 --> 01:00:01.200 Well DRP at least knows so many of the RAD players very well after their previous leaving part of that Chopper also has definitely asked some insight into how their comms work when it comes to working on a RAD play. 01:00:01.200 --> 01:00:06.000 East Trouble Strategist approaches and like me was briefing the remainder of the team. 01:00:08.000 --> 01:00:19.760 This has been so exciting, reason for me to get to kick off our series and this is only a best of three we've never got to see put RADs map players going to feel like it touched the picks because they've never lost a map 01:00:19.760 --> 01:00:25.060 And the ball will be in the airport to figure out where Rad wants to go, so you guys won't want to miss it. 01:00:25.060 --> 01:00:26.260 We'll see you after a break. 01:01:49.760 --> 01:01:51.760 I 01:02:49.760 --> 01:03:17.760 This 01:03:17.760 --> 01:03:22.720 This is why you want to tune into Marvel Rivals eSports on the Marvel Rivals switch and YouTube 01:03:22.720 --> 01:03:23.720 channels. 01:03:23.720 --> 01:03:26.240 We're back with the desk here, I'm vaudeable for those who might have forgot. 01:03:26.240 --> 01:03:32.560 But Levenki, we had like day we had such an insane map 1 on Krikoa, yes it was a C9, I 01:03:32.560 --> 01:03:36.680 went back through the time stream and was able to consult the Vaude and see yes. 01:03:36.680 --> 01:03:40.200 Unfortunately, ballast did not touch at the last moment, but it didn't matter, 100% to 01:03:40.200 --> 01:03:41.960 zero in that last one Leven. 01:03:41.960 --> 01:03:48.840 Oh my god, dropping 10 final hits and 32,000 damage, Ballast stood above the rest. 01:03:48.840 --> 01:03:53.240 And that's why when you run the triple strat, you need someone who can go X-Games mode. 01:03:53.240 --> 01:03:54.920 And Ballast did just that. 01:03:54.920 --> 01:03:59.320 Was able to also adapt his hero choice from the Sylar going to the Phoenix 01:03:59.320 --> 01:04:02.760 and able to rain down at a safe distance away from the dive. 01:04:02.760 --> 01:04:05.960 Which already sort of a compositional change from the RADCyber. 01:04:05.960 --> 01:04:10.680 They usually play the group on Cracowa going now from the Ducky to the Mag. 01:04:10.680 --> 01:04:16.120 Was that adjustment, because Groot does play very different than the Mag in terms of how aggressively forward you can be? 01:04:16.120 --> 01:04:20.080 I think that's a big thing to note here too, especially the compositions. 01:04:20.080 --> 01:04:23.600 Like Rad, they didn't have their comfort zone, as you talked about with the Groot. 01:04:23.600 --> 01:04:28.440 They didn't have the Mantis to be able to use the team up with that as well, and also have the damage boost. 01:04:28.440 --> 01:04:33.240 I think that was a big difference maker here, but I think the Ultron, from Nocturne, like, they... 01:04:33.240 --> 01:04:39.160 We never saw this from them in Week 1. They were just keeping that in the back shelf, ready to pull it out at the moment's notice. 01:04:39.160 --> 01:04:45.160 I mean it fits Nocturne's Aeropool fairly well. Nocturne's biggest star I think is their hitscan aim. 01:04:45.160 --> 01:04:50.160 Previously played quite a bit of Hella in previous patches as well as Elemude a little bit of the... 01:04:50.160 --> 01:04:53.160 A little bit of a solid, but that's not really going to be in their Aeropool while Balas is on the team. 01:04:53.160 --> 01:04:58.160 They're just tough, tough troops, but the Ultron definitely seems to favor them quite a bit. 01:04:58.160 --> 01:05:01.160 It's also been really good with the timings on their buffs for Balas. 01:05:01.160 --> 01:05:07.160 Obviously being a duelist player, they know the best time is to be able to allocate over those resources to Balas 01:05:07.160 --> 01:05:12.440 balance and support those off angles and also very survival. We rarely saw them get caught in the 01:05:12.440 --> 01:05:18.200 range of Ultron which is a fairly vulnerable strategist ultimate compared to the other strategists 01:05:18.200 --> 01:05:23.160 because you're only getting 50 healing per second and of course your hitbox is quite large as Ultron 01:05:23.160 --> 01:05:27.640 especially with all the drones around you so being able to stay alive and keep kicking during that 01:05:27.640 --> 01:05:32.520 and get the full value out of it was really important to the overall survivability of reason. 01:05:32.520 --> 01:05:35.720 And we're talking about value of dualists, right? 01:05:35.720 --> 01:05:39.720 We're talking about how great ballast is, and we wish we got to see more of Smash. 01:05:39.720 --> 01:05:42.820 We had the most deaths in the lobby at 7. 01:05:42.820 --> 01:05:48.420 So I think there would have been so much more out of Brad if we could have some Smash more, but he was so focused out. 01:05:49.220 --> 01:05:55.420 Well, we're going to Central Park for map 2, and you talked about this lemon that we didn't get to see. 01:05:55.420 --> 01:06:01.420 Brad actually picked their own counter map yet because they've been undefeated until that first map loss 01:06:01.420 --> 01:06:05.820 They just got fished out from reason gaming Central Park. I mean we've seen so many times 01:06:05.820 --> 01:06:08.940 But I feel like this composition actually works pretty well here as well 01:06:09.620 --> 01:06:13.740 Rad are very good at this map. They went up against crownfall and 01:06:14.940 --> 01:06:16.780 They had this 01:06:16.780 --> 01:06:23.660 Double strap line with the Loki and the Invis even played some punisher some Elsa is really unique 01:06:23.780 --> 01:06:27.820 But hopefully we get to see Ducky back on some comfort pics with the group 01:06:27.820 --> 01:06:35.300 But is that gonna be allowed cuz he'll still play it without the Mantis, but I don't know maybe you could see more changes out of Brad 01:06:35.300 --> 01:06:37.560 There's been also a week between the last match 01:06:38.100 --> 01:06:43.700 So we saw in America's at least that there was an ultron fan at one point like day 01:06:43.700 --> 01:06:47.540 You've always been you know the simple answer guy for me, and that's all I need from you on this one 01:06:47.540 --> 01:06:49.540 Do we see the Ultron band come out? 01:06:50.380 --> 01:06:57.120 Longer answer here it depends on how much round of internalized patrol my from that map because it was a very weird set of bams 01:06:57.120 --> 01:07:01.120 from reason going to that first 01:07:01.120 --> 01:07:04.120 protector Mantis over either Gambit 01:07:04.120 --> 01:07:08.120 or Elsa. Gambit was the Ultron that they had available there. Do we see an early ban on the Mantis from Rallabook is more 01:07:08.120 --> 01:07:15.120 pressing because the Ultron it is good but it functions best with the Mantis so you can give that double damage boost. I'd be 01:07:15.120 --> 01:07:22.120 more interested to see if Rad go for if they get the first two bans where they get the double slot before we get to protect if we 01:07:22.120 --> 01:07:27.240 If we see maybe an elsa man to start off with followed by instead of maybe a gambit 01:07:27.240 --> 01:07:34.900 Maybe the mantis band knowing that it's such a huge part of reason gaming strategy and I imagine later on in the draft 01:07:34.900 --> 01:07:38.000 Especially if mantis is secured we are going to see an ultron man 01:07:38.000 --> 01:07:41.040 And I just worry about reason gaming here 01:07:41.040 --> 01:07:46.760 But maybe not so much because when they did go to Central Park it was against a vertus pro and oh 01:07:47.040 --> 01:07:51.760 We don't want to talk about the defense and the the amount of minutes that vertus pro put on that 01:07:51.760 --> 01:07:57.720 But it's someone like not to really flounder going to so many different heroes to try to adapt before this problem 01:07:57.720 --> 01:08:01.720 That's what I like about reason. They are not afraid to swap up their compositions 01:08:01.720 --> 01:08:06.760 It's what up swap up their strategy slides whether it's double or even triple or worst case 01:08:06.760 --> 01:08:11.740 You can have your duelist who's not so having a hot day going to that third strategist like an atom 01:08:11.740 --> 01:08:16.240 Which we saw reason gaming do if you just need that extra forgiveness in some of these fights 01:08:16.240 --> 01:08:20.440 So many interesting compositions that we can see come out from Central Park. 01:08:20.440 --> 01:08:24.740 That's why it's one of my favorite convergence maps that we have seen, but these teams are going to give it their all. 01:08:24.740 --> 01:08:30.040 I mean, reason gaming must win for them, of course. If they get this, they're not guaranteed to make playoffs, 01:08:30.040 --> 01:08:33.140 but it makes it that much easier for them, especially against the rest of the competition. 01:08:33.140 --> 01:08:38.540 And Rad, again, they want to secure their playoff, and getting the win here guarantees them that. 01:08:38.540 --> 01:08:45.540 So, they don't want to go down, they don't want to be questioning their positioning, especially because of how strong the other side of the bracket will be from them, 01:08:45.540 --> 01:08:51.600 from group A as well. And you talked about Allegde, the Mantis, definitely going to be a priority. A big thing to notice here too, 01:08:51.600 --> 01:08:57.720 RAD are playing on attack. Every time we've gone to like a convoy or convergence, typically they do opt for the attack slide. 01:08:57.720 --> 01:09:02.400 Instead of the defending side where we typically see a bit of a difference from the strategy of other teams, 01:09:02.400 --> 01:09:10.240 I think they just like setting the tempo in these games. But we do have map to Central Park for convergence about to go. 01:09:10.240 --> 01:09:12.640 Down, reason versus RAD, take it into it. 01:09:12.640 --> 01:09:19.280 Okay, there it is again the early protect on the mantis lemon and this is once again potentially 01:09:19.280 --> 01:09:20.560 I'd have to make a choice here 01:09:20.560 --> 01:09:27.360 Do we ban the ultra on first or do we try and get rid of the Elsa now because if there's one thing that's worse than a double pocket of 01:09:27.360 --> 01:09:29.360 Phoenix, it's a double pocket of Elsa and 01:09:29.680 --> 01:09:33.320 They know that quite well and maybe a happy group that'll get the 01:09:33.760 --> 01:09:38.440 Vance this as well, but this is a different also duelist line for rare 01:09:38.440 --> 01:09:42.920 uh uh sorry for reason when it comes to this map it was a rude awakening for 01:09:42.920 --> 01:09:46.280 simba to have to face vertus pro the number two one team in the world on 01:09:46.280 --> 01:09:50.680 central park so now we may see even a different result having there are more 01:09:50.680 --> 01:09:56.040 core members join us especially with how formed up ballast was from the first map 01:09:56.040 --> 01:10:01.320 i expect to see an ultraman here from maybe from both sides to be honest 01:10:01.320 --> 01:10:05.960 that you do not want to deal with ultramantis on the other side given that 01:10:05.960 --> 01:10:11.560 We have seen now the attempt at the rand mirroring this. This is going to make sure that perhaps a vanguard deadpool can go through. 01:10:11.560 --> 01:10:15.400 You can see there's really a lot of deliberation. The vanguard deadpool gets banned away. 01:10:15.400 --> 01:10:20.680 So now reason. I imagine they're just going to protect the Ultron to continue playing this double boost comp. 01:10:21.240 --> 01:10:25.080 That is going to get, especially if we see Palace on something like a human torch. 01:10:25.080 --> 01:10:29.080 If I had to pick the best human torch in this lobby, I think I'd be looking at 01:10:29.080 --> 01:10:37.080 Either Smashnares or Crazy Kitty with her fantastic torches, maybe Smashnares just about eeks it out in the torch versus torch. 01:10:37.080 --> 01:10:44.080 So for Rad, if they can secure themselves the ultron here, that might be an option as we saw. What's in with the Shikigami? 01:10:44.080 --> 01:10:49.080 Got one over on Na'Vi on Central Park previously playing that triple fly composition. 01:10:49.080 --> 01:10:56.080 I love Central Park exactly that because of so many of the unique compositions that can come out just for even that point defense 01:10:56.080 --> 01:11:00.080 and how teams are even adapting compositions, depending on what part of the map you are on. 01:11:00.080 --> 01:11:03.080 And we'll end on a Ultron Protect there. 01:11:03.080 --> 01:11:07.080 But yeah, so many flyers, whether it's the torch, the Angela's, 01:11:07.080 --> 01:11:11.080 even the best of teams can suffer against some really niche compositions. 01:11:11.080 --> 01:11:15.080 But I'm looking forward to see the resurgence of the Vanguard's on the right side. 01:11:15.080 --> 01:11:18.080 No torch! You don't get to see a torch band every day. 01:11:18.080 --> 01:11:22.080 You know, well, that's very much a smash in his respect, I think. 01:11:22.080 --> 01:11:26.020 you're going up against, uh, 01:11:26.020 --> 01:11:28.020 when you're going up against 01:11:28.020 --> 01:11:30.020 like you want to try and make 01:11:30.020 --> 01:11:32.020 sure that you don't have to 01:11:32.020 --> 01:11:34.020 deal with a torch versus torch, 01:11:34.020 --> 01:11:35.020 because I think torch is 01:11:35.020 --> 01:11:36.020 probably the best air to air 01:11:36.020 --> 01:11:38.020 duelist that we have in our 01:11:38.020 --> 01:11:39.020 roster at the moment, being able 01:11:39.020 --> 01:11:40.020 to get in closer with flame 01:11:40.020 --> 01:11:42.020 clusters just absolutely 01:11:42.020 --> 01:11:44.020 decimate a larger hitbox or 01:11:44.020 --> 01:11:46.020 someone like an iron man as we 01:11:46.020 --> 01:11:48.020 roll out, though. This is 01:11:48.020 --> 01:11:50.020 definitely where n a is going 01:11:50.020 --> 01:11:52.020 to get a like a screen grab of 01:11:52.020 --> 01:11:57.580 over that. But everyone should be taking notes on EMEA, okay? Because the best region, we 01:11:57.580 --> 01:12:02.060 have the number one team, so we're better and we will not be arguing further. But we 01:12:02.060 --> 01:12:07.780 will be looking at the recent gaming defensive composition, of course, the triple strat and 01:12:07.780 --> 01:12:16.060 also DRP on something bot, Magneto. Is it real? Because DRP was so good at commanding the space 01:12:16.060 --> 01:12:20.900 and I think was a huge reason at breaking down the strat line of RAD, but what's great 01:12:20.900 --> 01:12:26.180 about the Groot as a fellow group main is how you control the real estate if you can block off some 01:12:26.180 --> 01:12:32.820 of these heals too and of course with the old charge nerf uh Groot's ultimates are just gonna get 01:12:32.820 --> 01:12:38.100 more bangs for the block so you're really excited to see DRP on something that's not bad. Yeah those 01:12:38.100 --> 01:12:41.940 groups with the healing walls as well are going to be able to give away some uh some miscellaneous 01:12:41.940 --> 01:12:45.860 sustain for a member of the team as well so maybe you don't have to have so much of your mantises 01:12:45.860 --> 01:12:50.740 resources and spores used to keep the team top tough in a second just dedicate them all to damage 01:12:50.740 --> 01:12:52.740 to make sure not to can get some as well. 01:12:55.220 --> 01:12:57.220 Brad have Lukiya back on the Hulk. 01:12:57.220 --> 01:12:59.220 I like this soft pressure on the high ground 01:12:59.220 --> 01:13:02.220 and make sure that Dallas isn't going to be off angling on you 01:13:02.220 --> 01:13:04.720 and he could even fair up with the Magneto 01:13:04.720 --> 01:13:05.720 but you got a Bucky! 01:13:05.720 --> 01:13:07.720 This neutral pull is huge! 01:13:07.720 --> 01:13:09.220 And Rad can go in! 01:13:09.220 --> 01:13:10.520 Oh, Smash Ned! 01:13:10.520 --> 01:13:12.520 Seeing that they backed off against the Thorn Lash wall 01:13:12.520 --> 01:13:14.020 this whole just means even more damage 01:13:14.020 --> 01:13:15.520 and there was good homework done there as well. 01:13:15.520 --> 01:13:17.020 Breaking down the Ironwood wall, 01:13:17.020 --> 01:13:19.520 making sure that DRP did not have that immunity. 01:13:19.520 --> 01:13:24.360 The RP is going to try and pull us all back for a quick re-contest here, but so many members are quite far away. 01:13:24.360 --> 01:13:27.260 It's going to be difficult to make the re-engage work. How comes the Magneto first? 01:13:27.260 --> 01:13:29.200 It's a pixel-perfect teleport, by the way. 01:13:29.200 --> 01:13:34.860 Just about half the cover on that back point, giving everyone else time to commute back onto the point itself. 01:13:34.860 --> 01:13:40.180 However, grab double quickly, DRP. Everyone is learning to fear the Winter Soldier of Smash, then. 01:13:40.180 --> 01:13:42.360 It's an old medal, Eminem, but check it out. 01:13:42.860 --> 01:13:48.100 And it's great in these neutral fights. You gotta applaud this fight all for Smash. 01:13:48.100 --> 01:13:51.500 He has an absolute menace cleaning up the fight. 01:13:51.500 --> 01:13:55.200 And the fact that you didn't even get to see that first cycle of ultimates, 01:13:55.200 --> 01:13:58.200 almost that stringing prison, almost that invisible boundary. 01:13:58.200 --> 01:14:02.600 A lot of good sustain here on the side of RAD to be able to build momentum. 01:14:02.600 --> 01:14:06.700 But I want to see how did those ultimates come out near the end of the point. 01:14:06.700 --> 01:14:09.700 Because now this defensive corner is going to be stronger for recent gaming. 01:14:09.700 --> 01:14:13.700 If they can even establish, it looks like RAD are not going to let them sleep. 01:14:13.700 --> 01:14:19.200 All right, there we go. Give them the gamma barrier there for a little bit of additional protection. 01:14:19.200 --> 01:14:23.200 I'm just saying that you are going to see really be something that's brought off the table. 01:14:23.200 --> 01:14:25.200 We'll see a moon knight come out of Nocturne as well. 01:14:25.200 --> 01:14:29.200 In comes the hands of Contrude directly on to the invisible boundary. 01:14:29.200 --> 01:14:31.200 Smashers managed to move their way through it. 01:14:31.200 --> 01:14:37.200 Triple heals from triple charges certainly is more than enough to try and survive what's been brought their way. 01:14:37.200 --> 01:14:40.200 But Nocturne is at least going to be able to buy all of this space back 01:14:40.200 --> 01:14:42.700 and give a little bit of a more oppressive posture to reason. 01:14:42.700 --> 01:14:44.700 and stop razzling into the metro accent. 01:14:44.700 --> 01:14:49.200 Moon Knight is such a good counter to a Loki when you can distribute all that damage 01:14:49.200 --> 01:14:52.700 amongst the clones and amongst the stack that is rad. 01:14:52.700 --> 01:14:56.200 But, looks like Lugia is done with your business. 01:14:56.200 --> 01:14:57.700 He's gonna go and bully the frontline. 01:14:57.700 --> 01:15:00.700 Actually, it's a disengage because he dropped half health so soon. 01:15:00.700 --> 01:15:03.700 Looking for the strangling person here for rad as he survives, 01:15:03.700 --> 01:15:08.700 not only the Venomult, but a punished Passagrow as a result. 01:15:08.700 --> 01:15:12.140 It's almost as if another hand comes through. Not much to try and enable it at this point. 01:15:12.140 --> 01:15:15.340 They're reason gaming without passers- just giving you over so much space. 01:15:15.340 --> 01:15:17.020 Two shadows of selfless try and play with weight. 01:15:17.020 --> 01:15:18.540 If you're up here, you've got the super-timing. 01:15:18.540 --> 01:15:20.620 The bow of the hand comes through once again. 01:15:20.620 --> 01:15:22.860 There's a lot. All the leaders try and peek out. 01:15:22.860 --> 01:15:25.260 When you go, but guess what? They just straight into their throat. 01:15:25.260 --> 01:15:28.380 They're just ultimately trying to get themselves to the same route. 01:15:28.380 --> 01:15:31.020 They're copying. It's going to the easy guard of fishing. 01:15:31.020 --> 01:15:33.660 Mashable's big way through. How did that happen? 01:15:33.660 --> 01:15:34.860 Unbelievable time. 01:15:34.860 --> 01:15:37.980 Focus some reason gaming like they're. What a beautiful play. 01:15:38.700 --> 01:15:44.620 reason gaming shed so much time off the clock too. With having this high ground advantage it's 01:15:44.620 --> 01:15:49.500 actually very hard for Rad to be able to see the strategies to see who could be on the top of that 01:15:49.500 --> 01:15:54.620 hill to get this natural advantage for reason gaming along with the high ground as someone like 01:15:54.620 --> 01:15:59.180 ballast will be able to output damage on. Then there's the minigame of dealing with the onk from 01:15:59.180 --> 01:16:05.580 Nocta. When is that hand of const you gonna rain down on such a small lane like on this map so Rad 01:16:05.580 --> 01:16:09.880 have invested so much, all they have is sustained with the invisible boundary, but depending 01:16:09.880 --> 01:16:14.120 on how that's placed, you may be able to exclude some vulnerable members from the fight or 01:16:14.120 --> 01:16:16.280 force them into an engagement they're not ready for. 01:16:16.280 --> 01:16:19.080 Look out, possibly we'll get fiddled on the way out of Fests of Thives as well, 01:16:19.080 --> 01:16:21.960 just to make sure that you aren't going to see one of our Seijiro style pulls already, 01:16:21.960 --> 01:16:24.600 Lugia falling low when it comes to this damage balance. 01:16:24.600 --> 01:16:27.400 It's just absolutely pounding with the Phoenix Flair. 01:16:27.400 --> 01:16:30.920 See how the land of Kanshu, praise the kitty, has to try and clear way and not just 01:16:30.920 --> 01:16:32.920 going to be punched without slowing effect. 01:16:32.920 --> 01:16:37.160 But the invisible boundary was actually critical to make sure that they are going to be taken down, 01:16:37.160 --> 01:16:40.360 but Smashness out-aimed in this case by Ballas. 01:16:40.360 --> 01:16:43.560 The young aiming prodigy showing my veil out of the top, 01:16:43.560 --> 01:16:46.680 The coolest cross went to Lola BNA, looking towards the back. 01:16:46.680 --> 01:16:48.360 Many strategies put together. 01:16:48.360 --> 01:16:51.920 Paso is going to try and figure out a frag from the back of it. 01:16:51.920 --> 01:16:54.040 Arm to stay, journey to the S-galler the way. 01:16:54.040 --> 01:16:56.640 Leaf interrupted by a fully charged mag cannon. 01:16:56.640 --> 01:17:00.800 Lucio has no hope of surviving, lost in the middle of a reason. 01:17:00.800 --> 01:17:03.440 Reason gaming stall out yet another fight. 01:17:03.440 --> 01:17:07.720 The end song infernal, Rad, are just barely escaping from this fight, 01:17:07.720 --> 01:17:11.760 but strangling for reason with no answer from reason gaming. 01:17:11.760 --> 01:17:15.360 So look for Ducky to really set the tone for this fight. 01:17:15.360 --> 01:17:17.480 You could also just surge ahead. 01:17:17.480 --> 01:17:19.520 Take the soul resurgence from Crazy Kid 01:17:19.520 --> 01:17:21.240 to see what you can get from there. 01:17:21.240 --> 01:17:22.440 So much sustained for Rav, 01:17:22.440 --> 01:17:24.360 but they've got to get to that finish line 01:17:24.360 --> 01:17:27.080 and you've got to put reason gaming backs against the wall. 01:17:27.080 --> 01:17:29.000 It's time to mash Cuffing in for Soul Resurgence. 01:17:29.000 --> 01:17:30.960 Not seen on Dane, cracked out of this one yet again, 01:17:30.960 --> 01:17:32.200 but the RP takes to the skies. 01:17:32.200 --> 01:17:33.920 19 charge on the Meteor Ram. 01:17:33.920 --> 01:17:35.240 What's going to happen to me? 01:17:35.240 --> 01:17:36.360 Touch them down for a second, 01:17:36.360 --> 01:17:38.000 we start the solo stage. 01:17:38.000 --> 01:17:39.000 It's perfect, 01:17:39.000 --> 01:17:40.600 but it's stuck to him on the other side. 01:17:40.600 --> 01:17:41.920 Many players dragged on him, 01:17:41.920 --> 01:17:43.600 the extra damages there from Vertigo 01:17:43.600 --> 01:17:45.880 to confirm that the flag onto Nocturne. 01:17:45.880 --> 01:17:47.320 Mercedes is getting one of their own. 01:17:47.320 --> 01:17:48.520 Passed it all the way into the back. 01:17:48.520 --> 01:17:49.960 Mash found in the rubble, 01:17:49.960 --> 01:17:51.840 might be turned to bricks themselves here, 01:17:51.840 --> 01:17:53.000 so they're actually breaking it. 01:17:53.000 --> 01:17:54.880 What's being floated around by Passoload, 01:17:54.880 --> 01:17:57.280 Vertigo just has to play for their own life right here. 01:17:57.280 --> 01:17:59.480 Balasas has their soul pulled from their body 01:17:59.480 --> 01:18:00.960 by the force physics, 01:18:00.960 --> 01:18:02.720 and it's just going to be the band guards now, 01:18:02.720 --> 01:18:05.380 The Breezy Gaming's doing their best to play out all the time, 01:18:05.380 --> 01:18:06.740 Feast of Fear, Fist. 01:18:06.740 --> 01:18:09.780 Noct has already tried to soften them up using the hands of Conchun, 01:18:09.780 --> 01:18:12.580 but the Counter-Fire here from Luke, here goes, getting some real value, 01:18:12.580 --> 01:18:14.260 and Sage Rose already gone down. 01:18:14.260 --> 01:18:15.500 It's sort of out of its trade. 01:18:15.500 --> 01:18:17.460 They keep placing themselves in the corner. 01:18:17.460 --> 01:18:21.140 A little army of wars, a safety space, a safe space for the group. 01:18:21.140 --> 01:18:23.500 Yes, but there's still going to be a safe space on the point. 01:18:23.500 --> 01:18:26.560 DRP, the second they get on there, it's contested, is gunned on down 01:18:26.560 --> 01:18:30.460 by the Phoenix Smashers as finally returned, and he's back from the vengeance. 01:18:30.460 --> 01:18:35.180 seems proud to found their man they found their sharks but they've taken their time to do it and we 01:18:35.180 --> 01:18:41.020 30 seconds remain before they get a flip and ducky has found his place in despite beautiful walls 01:18:41.020 --> 01:18:46.060 to really force reason through these pseudo choke points and vertigo who's able to place a forward 01:18:46.060 --> 01:18:50.620 invisible boundary to fully solidify brad's position and racing gaming had passed him 01:18:50.620 --> 01:18:54.860 while making a harass on the back line but brad stayed focused and they focused on dealing with 01:18:54.860 --> 01:18:57.060 with the remaining pinkards on the front, 01:18:57.060 --> 01:19:00.540 so they can get this payload towards the end of point B. 01:19:00.540 --> 01:19:04.420 But still 90 seconds, that was a very considerably strong 01:19:04.420 --> 01:19:05.540 defensive reason. 01:19:05.540 --> 01:19:09.500 Gaming, and now it's time for the String Ring Princess. 01:19:09.500 --> 01:19:10.620 Ambitions beginning. 01:19:10.620 --> 01:19:11.900 Two walls, four on up. 01:19:11.900 --> 01:19:13.140 The healing's good enough, though. 01:19:13.140 --> 01:19:14.940 Great response coming through from Cesaro 01:19:14.940 --> 01:19:16.860 to bring up that invisible balance ring. 01:19:16.860 --> 01:19:19.180 And Sting, though, kind of caught you in the back. 01:19:19.180 --> 01:19:20.260 They're pulling a little bit targeted, 01:19:20.260 --> 01:19:21.540 doesn't get that many players. 01:19:21.540 --> 01:19:23.420 And the rest of Rad, now, with the speeders, 01:19:23.420 --> 01:19:27.900 given by crazy kids here. Okay, you want to use your ultimates? We'll just claim all of this space 01:19:27.900 --> 01:19:31.180 as you didn't put anything in front of us and suck us really forward. 01:19:31.180 --> 01:19:36.620 As the minute lasts in reason gaming, they feel desperate. They're throwing down some healing 01:19:36.620 --> 01:19:42.060 and RAD have them exactly where they want. The court almost towards the end. Half-way to this point 01:19:42.060 --> 01:19:46.300 and RAD have built up for another cycle of ultimates. Reason gaming are trying to keep their heads up 01:19:46.300 --> 01:19:48.700 of water and RAD are drowning them. 01:19:48.700 --> 01:19:56.100 Oh the timing could be good, yes it is, the corrosive detonation burns away KitKat and our lower healing plant. 01:19:56.100 --> 01:19:59.420 Our ability is going to be DRP, eating up some of this incoming damage. 01:19:59.420 --> 01:20:04.740 Smash is just destroyed underneath the double ultimate, but the damage has been done. 01:20:04.740 --> 01:20:08.300 Reason gaming only scraps remain, the Venoms claim the space as well. 01:20:08.300 --> 01:20:13.340 They can't touch the points and Dracula's castle is breached by RAD's offense. 01:20:13.340 --> 01:20:16.020 So much panic from the reason gaming side. 01:20:16.020 --> 01:20:20.000 talked about the hand of conch she that was supposed to maybe section the 01:20:20.000 --> 01:20:23.320 strategist of rad away from the rest but if anything it just gave inspiration 01:20:23.320 --> 01:20:27.640 for rad to move forward with their soul of resurgence they had reason gaming 01:20:27.640 --> 01:20:33.640 stuck in their castle and then rad kept investing reason gaming got so panicky so 01:20:33.640 --> 01:20:37.680 desperate they just used all too soon as they had them and we both like kind of 01:20:37.680 --> 01:20:42.760 held the held our pearls when Kit Kat brought the eternal bond when I didn't 01:20:42.760 --> 01:20:47.960 reason gaming were ready for a fight but that looks more of like a stability or stabilization 01:20:47.960 --> 01:20:54.280 decision and reason gaming had uh had respawned advantage so I think they could have slowed things 01:20:54.280 --> 01:20:59.960 down try to have a full reset because the payload still had quite a bit of time left before it got 01:20:59.960 --> 01:21:05.000 to the end but reason gaming just needs a strong leader to calm people down in those moments because 01:21:05.000 --> 01:21:12.040 now a full cap on this map is so difficult to do and at 26 seconds for rad reason gaming they have 01:21:12.040 --> 01:21:18.600 have a lot ahead of them. Alright, we've knocked moving back over on to the Ultron here. I 01:21:18.600 --> 01:21:25.000 think I may have preferred not to move over on to a Mantis. Just give Valus a little bit 01:21:25.000 --> 01:21:29.680 of additional survivability as well as damage boost. I don't think the Moon Knight in the 01:21:29.680 --> 01:21:32.600 end got a huge amount of value, but it did at least make Mesh a little bit easier to 01:21:32.600 --> 01:21:37.520 get rid of. So much extra damage, like it felt like you had a hand of contrues like 01:21:37.520 --> 01:21:44.480 every fight. Old Nerf wear. Like in Moog Knight, it's still farming those, but I also really 01:21:44.480 --> 01:21:50.160 appreciated Ducky being back on one of his best heroes and how he was able to box out 01:21:50.160 --> 01:21:55.440 the fight. And he'll be able to box out reason gaming on the approach. So look to how reason 01:21:55.440 --> 01:21:59.720 gaming are going to get around that. When you have Emma though on DRP, able to sustain 01:21:59.720 --> 01:22:05.460 himself with a shield or even the diamond form. And he's wrestling a Venom on the Iron 01:22:05.460 --> 01:22:11.400 actual perfect regeneration domain there from mash using a vertical hitbox to make sure that lugia could get out after being pulled by 01:22:11.400 --> 01:22:13.900 Seidra the old classic up comes the big wall 01:22:14.300 --> 01:22:21.360 However, it's gonna be survived here. DRP manages to slip away with their svelte hitbox and they'll keep just playing it very cautiously right now 01:22:21.360 --> 01:22:27.500 There's someone trying to expose themselves potentially can be grabbed here by a carbon crushed indeed is gonna be the case doesn't quite get the CC 01:22:27.500 --> 01:22:28.340 immunity in time 01:22:28.340 --> 01:22:34.260 But DRP can't escape the auspicious shots of smash nairs and it's not gonna be quite so lucky to pass a 01:22:34.260 --> 01:22:39.100 alive without the Emma reason gaming this can be forced to poke away yeah I 01:22:39.100 --> 01:22:43.140 don't think this Emma can keep going for those aggressive grabs and there's 01:22:43.140 --> 01:22:47.900 gonna be some changes to that comp but duckies walls have done exactly what it 01:22:47.900 --> 01:22:51.500 supposed to do it's sectioned off the vanguard for reason gaming away from 01:22:51.500 --> 01:22:55.660 their strategist DRP didn't get help and they're gonna need even more help after 01:22:55.660 --> 01:22:59.900 the strangling prison all too squishy stuck within those small health bars 01:22:59.900 --> 01:23:02.340 and I'll try and stand up to even regular fire. 01:23:02.340 --> 01:23:04.180 And I like the rounds here, 01:23:04.180 --> 01:23:05.900 they didn't invest much more than they needed to. 01:23:05.900 --> 01:23:08.620 They just sent in the singular ultimate early 01:23:08.620 --> 01:23:09.820 claiming the initiative. 01:23:11.380 --> 01:23:14.140 Reason gaming, how to the moon night, 01:23:14.140 --> 01:23:16.140 take advantage of this giant staff 01:23:16.140 --> 01:23:18.820 that is forming at the front of this choke point, 01:23:18.820 --> 01:23:20.260 see if you can maximize damage, 01:23:20.260 --> 01:23:22.780 because that's what reason gaming really need right now. 01:23:22.780 --> 01:23:25.620 Follow up to the setup that DRP and Passive will have, 01:23:25.620 --> 01:23:27.980 and you're gonna have the feast of the abyss, 01:23:27.980 --> 01:23:29.660 maybe get some of these health bars low, 01:23:29.660 --> 01:23:34.140 but with how spread rad are, it may be hard to get enough targets going. 01:23:34.700 --> 01:23:37.060 Oh, it's perfect onto Crazy Kitty, 01:23:37.060 --> 01:23:39.260 and now Passimo could possibly fall off of the Smash Nails as well, 01:23:39.260 --> 01:23:41.620 force out the Insong in front of that quick health reset, 01:23:41.620 --> 01:23:46.060 and Passimo doesn't want to try and go down onto that yet towards the back. 01:23:46.060 --> 01:23:47.900 Oh, fated out of existence, 01:23:47.900 --> 01:23:53.380 but Noct decided to go back into the realms of reality by firing out their crescent darts. 01:23:53.380 --> 01:23:56.460 Smash Nails got a great angle here onto bounce, opens up with a headshot, 01:23:56.460 --> 01:23:57.780 but the turnaround is real, 01:23:57.780 --> 01:24:00.420 and Mubra is going to be a huge amount of pocket here onto Smashness. 01:24:00.420 --> 01:24:03.420 He's going to make sure that it's difficult for Pasoedra to try and confirm this one. 01:24:03.420 --> 01:24:07.860 I think we've actually seen Lugi ago not get too much off the back of that feast of the Abyss. 01:24:07.860 --> 01:24:10.620 The counter dive is going to be there, but the Venoms are traded. 01:24:10.620 --> 01:24:12.260 Recent gaming now have to make a choice. 01:24:12.260 --> 01:24:16.140 Are we willing to go forward without our Venom knowing he's going to be back rather quickly? 01:24:16.140 --> 01:24:18.700 Balacly's so much support on this off angle. 01:24:18.700 --> 01:24:23.580 But now we're starting to see that Mantis gear that we constantly saw over on Domination, 01:24:23.580 --> 01:24:25.660 where it's so hard to try and set up to these ones, 01:24:25.660 --> 01:24:30.300 Noctis sends in, uh-oh, Hands of Conscious, but I don't think it's the ideal position for the group. 01:24:30.300 --> 01:24:33.820 Oh, and they can't convert onto it. Kit Kat needs to make something happen. 01:24:33.820 --> 01:24:38.780 On the back of the eternal bond, then Barris doesn't find anything on the other side either. 01:24:38.780 --> 01:24:43.980 Ducky might be the final note in this song as they send down this impenetrable prison of crooks. 01:24:43.980 --> 01:24:48.300 Barris holds them at the door, and Noctis is falling down as well. It's too messy for reason. 01:24:48.300 --> 01:24:50.060 They can't execute on their plans. 01:24:50.860 --> 01:24:55.580 Aw, and Rattles was doubled up on Shrattles. Yet the Soul Research is Andy Invisible Boundary. 01:24:55.580 --> 01:25:02.800 You finally had Rad floundering, but reason just extended too far and we're able to really focus on the objective and focus around 01:25:02.980 --> 01:25:07.980 You can control the space with the grudge. It's not really an attacking type of Vanguard 01:25:07.980 --> 01:25:14.580 But more one that can defend so well and last-minute swap for reason gaming mainly trying to get a portal for one last touch 01:25:14.580 --> 01:25:18.220 Or will be a full-hold and it will be a map 3 coming up 01:25:19.140 --> 01:25:21.140 That's enough for now demanding attention 01:25:21.140 --> 01:25:27.380 Fine time and space for the portal, crazy kitty again going to be the primary recipient of all that damage that's coming on in. 01:25:27.380 --> 01:25:30.100 But most of the damage can be pouring out of Smash there to you. 01:25:30.100 --> 01:25:36.020 Once again that damage boost onto Adola's just doing so much and it feels like the reason gaming. 01:25:36.020 --> 01:25:38.420 They haven't learned too much off the back of their previous play. 01:25:38.420 --> 01:25:44.740 What a bang, what a turn! The Tokyo drift, but this time it's in New York and Smash is going to be drifting them forward towards a victory. 01:25:44.740 --> 01:25:49.180 Yeah, Palace wins their duel, but it's too little, it's too late, reason gaming cannot 01:25:49.180 --> 01:25:52.780 breach the first parapet of the castle. 01:25:52.780 --> 01:25:58.240 No umbrella and no bucket of water is saving you from Phoenix, being able to be so far 01:25:58.240 --> 01:26:00.740 away and so inaccessible. 01:26:00.740 --> 01:26:06.660 And Passa-Woe did so much for reason gaming, but the Ducky Wall's easy MVP for me. 01:26:06.660 --> 01:26:10.580 You cannot let this guy ever have a Groot again. 01:26:10.580 --> 01:26:12.580 The walls were impenetrable. 01:26:12.580 --> 01:26:17.520 They sectioned the strategist off, the strangling prisons of course with the end song and hurdle 01:26:17.520 --> 01:26:23.520 made it for an easy win condition for Rad and not just a statement but domination coming 01:26:23.520 --> 01:26:24.520 out of Rad. 01:26:24.520 --> 01:26:27.960 get back on their own two feet after what they experienced on Cracola. 01:26:27.960 --> 01:26:31.120 Why, Ducky, 27 and 0, get this man his goat suffix. 01:26:31.120 --> 01:26:32.760 We need Lugigo and Duckygoe. 01:26:32.760 --> 01:26:36.200 That is an unbelievable line from the group 01:26:36.200 --> 01:26:39.880 who doesn't really have means of like disengaging from a bad fight. 01:26:39.880 --> 01:26:41.800 You know, if things are going wrong, 01:26:41.800 --> 01:26:43.680 the group's going to be the first to go down. 01:26:43.680 --> 01:26:46.600 What a fantastic bit of solubility from Ducky 01:26:46.600 --> 01:26:48.560 to constantly be pushing out this threat as well 01:26:48.560 --> 01:26:51.680 because he was getting stuck in with 25k damage. 01:26:51.680 --> 01:27:01.200 There's just a little bit too much rushing from recent gaming, or just like Sejuro's invisible boundary near the end to be more forward so they can even just start to creep up to the first half of the objective. 01:27:01.200 --> 01:27:12.160 And the first time that you had Rad Floundering where they doubled up on Straddols, you had finally Rad, uh, recent gaming presence on the point where they over-extended Soul Farns that were just playing off of their own rule walls, 01:27:12.160 --> 01:27:15.600 I'm playing, I'm giving Ducney a taste of his own medicine. 01:27:15.600 --> 01:27:18.480 But just reason gaming got too antsy to chase 01:27:18.480 --> 01:27:24.480 eliminations that they didn't even really need of that corner. At least the risk did not pay off. 01:27:25.360 --> 01:27:29.040 Yeah, I think that we also saw like very good friends around here 01:27:29.040 --> 01:27:33.600 realizing when they saw the console coming out from reason gaming. If you're looking at both the 01:27:33.600 --> 01:27:37.840 group and the moon, they think very split in these two-two-tunes to make sure that there was never 01:27:37.840 --> 01:27:41.520 never going to be a full team wipe off the back of a strangled president and a conscious 01:27:41.520 --> 01:27:47.840 combo. The old Caesar 1.5, Mede could have shown its face but those splits meant that 01:27:47.840 --> 01:27:51.000 nothing is never able to get value. Out of a hand of conscious, I'm sure it was coming 01:27:51.000 --> 01:27:54.880 up a lot but I don't think it was achieving that much when it was deployed. 01:27:54.880 --> 01:27:59.600 And DRP went to the Emma but it was simply wasn't enough. All the changes but no solution 01:27:59.600 --> 01:28:03.560 will find out what the map will be for reason gaming after this. 01:28:07.840 --> 01:28:09.840 I 01:28:37.840 --> 01:28:39.840 I 01:29:07.840 --> 01:29:12.840 Clear the way! 01:29:12.840 --> 01:29:14.840 Famicom! 01:29:16.840 --> 01:29:18.840 Disappear! 01:30:37.840 --> 01:31:01.860 Well, back to business as usual for a ratty sport on that one, especially after a dominating 01:31:01.860 --> 01:31:05.960 performance that we witnessed from them, but the biggest thing, the biggest glaring issue 01:31:05.960 --> 01:31:11.880 I got to bring up here the torch band over banning either Groot or Loki. What are we doing here Levin? 01:31:13.160 --> 01:31:14.760 Just trying to 01:31:14.760 --> 01:31:19.160 Try to face what you're at least familiar with and who is familiar with torch 01:31:21.080 --> 01:31:24.280 I don't even blame that I think you can make almost any composition work 01:31:24.360 --> 01:31:25.560 It's about execution 01:31:25.560 --> 01:31:30.440 I feel like reason really lacking communication because when there's grow walls that are sectioning your vanguards 01:31:30.600 --> 01:31:34.120 You need to be able to communicate that so I don't want to see my Emma in diamond form 01:31:34.120 --> 01:31:39.120 tackling people with no help, but especially when the Venom is diving somebody else. 01:31:39.120 --> 01:31:46.120 Meterbanger has been on the same page, and to turn that aggression into more of a defensive stance when those Ducky Walls came out. 01:31:46.120 --> 01:31:52.120 Man, what a performance on group. You talk about torch bands, you talk about a real band coming up. 01:31:52.120 --> 01:31:58.120 Exactly, and hopefully we do see something of that sort in the future for reason gaming. 01:31:58.120 --> 01:32:05.120 I mean, it looked pretty well for them, but again, I think the strategy of picking the attacking side for Rad has worked out time and time again, 01:32:05.120 --> 01:32:12.120 especially because they're able to lock in who they need so they don't get two bands against them like we saw earlier on. 01:32:12.120 --> 01:32:17.120 So a nice focus for them in map two. We'll see what the shift is going to be for this next one. 01:32:17.120 --> 01:32:24.120 Museum of Contemplation though, we're thinking maybe mid-down. We see that played from a lot of teams, but we've been seeing like they so much more of this map 01:32:24.120 --> 01:32:28.060 been a lot of teams feeling a lot more comfortable than they used to in the last season, especially 01:32:28.060 --> 01:32:29.560 during MRC for this one. 01:32:29.560 --> 01:32:35.160 Yeah, and the reason we have contemplation, it could be a very easy to full-holds first-point 01:32:35.160 --> 01:32:36.160 kind of map. 01:32:36.160 --> 01:32:41.480 We see a lot of first-point holds here around these tight 90 degree angles, for a couple 01:32:41.480 --> 01:32:45.760 of good flank routes, but it's not fantastic, also there are some great jeff drop-off spots 01:32:45.760 --> 01:32:50.160 here, the potential, you know, little bit, little bit, so have a lot of thick enemy, 01:32:50.160 --> 01:32:51.160 get a bit of a jeff. 01:32:51.160 --> 01:32:52.160 Oh, that was great. 01:32:52.160 --> 01:33:01.160 But what I'd really want to see here, if I'm being grossly honest with you guys, is I want to see reason gaming get some use out of it, protects. 01:33:01.160 --> 01:33:06.160 Like, why are we protecting Ultras and Ultramanthus and not playing them? That ain't on. 01:33:06.160 --> 01:33:10.160 Yeah, we'll all see which mix of compositions we have between these teams. 01:33:10.160 --> 01:33:16.160 Reason gaming versus RAD. The final map of this, the best of three. Who's going to take it? We'll find out now. 01:33:16.160 --> 01:33:21.040 All right, let's get stuck in once again, Lemon, and see if we're going to have similar 01:33:21.040 --> 01:33:25.480 bandra after last time, because it seems like Rad were kind of drawing to the, they're 01:33:25.480 --> 01:33:30.200 drawing to a mystique, the temptations of the Ultron Mantis prior, and reason gaming, 01:33:30.200 --> 01:33:35.520 they're going to be sticking to this Mantis, I pray that they actually play it. 01:33:35.520 --> 01:33:40.200 And I was expecting a midtown pick from reason gaming, because that was what they had picked 01:33:40.200 --> 01:33:44.440 last time, or of course Central Park, which we just saw, but it did not go so well against 01:33:44.440 --> 01:33:48.960 So we have never seen museum of contemplation from either of these teams 01:33:48.960 --> 01:33:55.680 So this is going to be especially cooked up by reason gaming who I think can continue to depend on 01:33:56.880 --> 01:34:03.920 On ballast for example or you know people like that to carry through but also to give him enough 01:34:04.480 --> 01:34:08.240 Resources and but I think it's been a big difference of vanguards if I'm honest 01:34:08.240 --> 01:34:15.200 not in terms of the choices which no Deadpool no surprise but the really the controlling of the real estate based on the vanguards 01:34:16.000 --> 01:34:22.760 Okay, once again, Loki off the table question is a rad gonna mirror this one like I would not see I wouldn't mind seeing matches 01:34:23.640 --> 01:34:26.020 Loki taken off the table indeed. That is gonna be the case 01:34:26.020 --> 01:34:32.720 This also stops Noxer from falling into the into the Moon Knight noob trap, you know, like oh, they've got guys 01:34:32.720 --> 01:34:37.280 they've got Loki. I'm gonna play Moon Knight and while it does have its places, especially in like 01:34:37.280 --> 01:34:41.520 spawn break scenarios, we're not- oh, surely there's gonna be an Ultron down now. If Ultron's not 01:34:41.520 --> 01:34:46.320 protected, then there is gonna be a Deadpool. Oh, maybe you're trying to down the Jethy at that. 01:34:46.320 --> 01:34:50.160 Oh, they're gonna allow the Ultron to go through. Very interesting. Instead, getting rid of Sage 01:34:50.160 --> 01:34:56.000 Ero's potential to pull, which has actually been very, very problematic for Lugia on these Venom 01:34:56.000 --> 01:35:00.880 Engages. Maybe that's gonna give Lugia a lot more room to work with. And someone like Doctor has 01:35:00.880 --> 01:35:07.680 been relied upon as that third strategist when things get a bit hectic and I could see him pulling 01:35:07.680 --> 01:35:13.920 out the Jeff once again which is kind of a weird one to throw in your duelist hero pool but especially 01:35:13.920 --> 01:35:18.160 with these long lanes on Museum of Contemplation that healing is going to be great but I'd love to 01:35:18.160 --> 01:35:22.400 see just a natural 222 because I think that's so much pressure on someone like ballast to try and 01:35:22.400 --> 01:35:29.360 carry every single sprite especially if he's going to get dove on if dive will be even on the menu. 01:35:29.360 --> 01:35:35.200 A lot of people are preferring more of the death ball brawl when it comes to a museum of contemplation, 01:35:35.200 --> 01:35:39.720 but we'll see what everybody ends up on. And this is Atch Point, everybody. 01:35:39.720 --> 01:35:45.160 We'll see if Rad can qualify or will reason try to climb up in the standings. 01:35:46.160 --> 01:35:50.640 Okay, Lugia as expected once again going to be showing off that venom, 01:35:50.640 --> 01:35:54.800 and it is going to be a lot safer without having to deal with those force physics. 01:35:54.800 --> 01:35:56.560 We're going to go on the other hand, let's have access to that. 01:35:56.560 --> 01:36:00.800 The password was not going to be in a position where the four sticks is as much of a problem. 01:36:00.800 --> 01:36:02.920 He's likely to be applying the Bandai Deadpool here, 01:36:02.920 --> 01:36:07.200 apparently for the first time in the series after being banned out almost ubiquitously thus far. 01:36:08.720 --> 01:36:15.200 The set-ups, the Ducky has ruined lives, okay, on that central park and looking forward to see it. 01:36:15.200 --> 01:36:16.640 Can't do it again? 01:36:16.640 --> 01:36:21.200 It was more of an open door to get through metaphorically and physically. 01:36:21.200 --> 01:36:23.680 I'm so excited to see more PsyLock too. 01:36:23.680 --> 01:36:30.380 You shouldn't like to throw that with a Jeff with the extra speed, but at a distance, you may need the speed to try and close the gap against Razz defense. 01:36:30.380 --> 01:36:36.380 Oh, Luke, you're feeling the bravery here. You can stay in for so long without that force to try and deal with them. 01:36:36.380 --> 01:36:42.380 Well, the Vanguard Deppler is going to bring to the fight here. Definitely, it's a lot more wall break on the crate using their sword as an Eagles. 01:36:43.780 --> 01:36:49.380 Reason gaming. They need to just force their way through this, but also not ignore those brute walls. 01:36:49.380 --> 01:36:57.260 You don't want to just get damaged for no reason and keep an eye on where Arthur's going and smash. He's sharp 01:36:58.180 --> 01:37:02.740 Honestly, like once again, we're seeing the Mantis not really deployed by reason after the first fight 01:37:02.740 --> 01:37:08.540 This team does does tend to have a little bit of a panic of the fight number one and instantly swap a bunch of their stuff around 01:37:08.780 --> 01:37:11.860 On the other side, Mast is just thriving living his best life 01:37:11.860 --> 01:37:14.340 Dark yes to try and fly away as quickly as possible 01:37:14.340 --> 01:37:18.740 but easily gets healed back up to full by the triple strategist, and DRP and passive are just 01:37:18.740 --> 01:37:23.940 needing so much damage as Crazy Kitty has a bunch of safety from which to spout those encephalos 01:37:23.940 --> 01:37:29.380 rings. I think reason gaming just needs someone to follow up with Nocta, whether it's a Venom 01:37:29.380 --> 01:37:35.140 that swings in, whether it's a Jeff I can give speed, it's... yeah, the flake from Luna Snow is 01:37:35.140 --> 01:37:40.260 great and all, but Deathpool's not someone who's just gonna be running it down, he's more someone 01:37:40.260 --> 01:37:46.820 I can add to the damage strangling prison though. Oh my god. Oh instantly gets three. This one is instantly cooked for reason 01:37:46.820 --> 01:37:49.380 They're just gonna be trying to fly away as fast as possible 01:37:50.740 --> 01:37:57.900 And reason gaming are still stuck in spawn half the time bank left and you have some good ultimates coming up 01:37:57.900 --> 01:38:01.420 But you need to be focusing down that that grew in these walls 01:38:01.420 --> 01:38:06.920 You cannot be ignoring the group like this and Luke is soon as you focus the other Vanguard 01:38:06.920 --> 01:38:08.920 He's gonna come diving in your backline. 01:38:08.920 --> 01:38:11.320 Oh, that's a lot of charge straight away. 01:38:11.320 --> 01:38:13.160 Ian Tuber meets your rim. 01:38:13.160 --> 01:38:15.720 DRP takes medicine to her own hands, taking down two. 01:38:15.720 --> 01:38:18.120 Ducky's disengagement here is going to be well covered. 01:38:18.120 --> 01:38:20.360 It's small after all being put up behind them. 01:38:20.360 --> 01:38:22.280 The three strategists will survive, 01:38:22.280 --> 01:38:25.080 none of whom are forced to invest their ultimates in this one. 01:38:25.080 --> 01:38:28.200 But Ducky's disengagement path is a little bit apart from the rest. 01:38:29.400 --> 01:38:30.120 Reason gaming. 01:38:30.120 --> 01:38:34.040 Hey, getting out of spawn is the first step to victory, okay? 01:38:34.040 --> 01:38:38.420 him look at reason gaming or commanding that space and they got the pics too 01:38:38.420 --> 01:38:42.620 obviously very elusive from invisible boundary as well I guess it's gonna be 01:38:42.620 --> 01:38:45.860 put forcing themselves into it kick cap moves forward with the eternal bond to 01:38:45.860 --> 01:38:49.700 claim all of this space is your role on court yeah you're taking care of the 01:38:49.700 --> 01:38:54.340 main damage in the form of balance the sage rostal has options here has that 01:38:54.340 --> 01:38:57.380 system afraid of both worlds coming in with the dual guitars going up to the 01:38:57.380 --> 01:39:01.180 sky the end song inferno drops down on the back line as savero is detonated 01:39:01.180 --> 01:39:05.600 doesn't even use their own ultimate to try and survive this one and mash season opportunity. 01:39:05.600 --> 01:39:10.100 Smells blood in the water and so the manfish are striking for hearts of reason 01:39:10.100 --> 01:39:13.100 and they are floundered just before being able to complete their cap. 01:39:13.100 --> 01:39:18.040 Ah, reason gaming just weren't able to keep that stranglehold you had right on the back foot. 01:39:18.040 --> 01:39:21.440 You had them using invisible boundary like almost near spawn. 01:39:21.440 --> 01:39:23.680 Like you really had right at panicking. 01:39:23.680 --> 01:39:29.140 But the soul resurgence that last kick giving reason, uh, kicked to the bucket. 01:39:29.140 --> 01:39:32.140 Wait, you have Lugia taking initiative. 01:39:32.140 --> 01:39:35.140 Oh, that's so many players inside of a strangling prison. 01:39:35.140 --> 01:39:39.140 Needs to be answered by Verlunda, but still in crab kit-cat. Only a single! 01:39:39.140 --> 01:39:43.140 Mesh is a madman! The accuracy is just off the charts right now. 01:39:43.140 --> 01:39:46.140 That was through a fate of both worlds. 01:39:46.140 --> 01:39:48.140 The strategists are just going crazy right now. 01:39:48.140 --> 01:39:51.140 Cool, but an unexpected item in a fragging area. 01:39:51.140 --> 01:39:53.140 Aw, I wish Pass-A-Woo... 01:39:53.140 --> 01:39:56.140 If we all say a prayer, maybe Pass-A-Woo will go on the Venom, 01:39:56.140 --> 01:40:03.760 But somebody has to go on the strange to portal and one last for Rafa reason gaming and they need to just all in on this rad 01:40:03.940 --> 01:40:08.860 Backline you just can't sustain through this the poke of rad has just been too strong 01:40:09.300 --> 01:40:13.380 Especially with the mantis which now all swapped up rad are gonna have their final stand 01:40:13.780 --> 01:40:19.800 Lugia the predator lies in late knocked around the back six and a percent towards ultimate wins out against mash a critical pick 01:40:19.800 --> 01:40:23.640 gets rid of some of the healing, but he needs to try and get rid of the strange as well. 01:40:23.640 --> 01:40:25.160 Someone needs to tag in up to a point. 01:40:25.160 --> 01:40:27.320 Nautric is taking down my Smashness! 01:40:27.320 --> 01:40:29.720 What is this accuracy, Blood? 01:40:29.720 --> 01:40:32.200 Manny's coming down in the streets! 01:40:32.200 --> 01:40:33.400 Yes! 01:40:33.400 --> 01:40:37.720 The mechanics from Rad is what makes them so well known in this group, 01:40:37.720 --> 01:40:43.400 getting another full hold, and at least doing it at the beginning this time. 01:40:43.400 --> 01:40:47.400 So reason gaming are going to be quite behind, 01:40:47.400 --> 01:40:54.520 and the win condition is set for Rad and just fantastic spacing from the defense. 01:40:54.520 --> 01:40:59.880 Be able to sit so far back and really force reason gaming to have to rotate into cover, 01:40:59.880 --> 01:41:05.720 but there's only so much cover on Museum of Contemplation. I like the effort that Nocta had. 01:41:05.720 --> 01:41:10.280 Finally, you had some teammates that could follow through with them, but I think Venom would have 01:41:10.280 --> 01:41:16.600 really added more to this dive and we saw just how impactful Passable was in the past with that 01:41:16.600 --> 01:41:22.840 Venom but reason gaming will have to have a pretty much a perfect defense playing that first corner 01:41:22.840 --> 01:41:26.520 and if they give that up maybe they'll have a second fight for the end of the map but 01:41:27.160 --> 01:41:33.240 reason gaming you're you're on your last life. Well maybe there might be a second life here courtesy 01:41:33.240 --> 01:41:40.520 of Doctor. The Adam Warlock comic revival is going to be one of the main hallmarks of this defense. 01:41:41.160 --> 01:41:44.280 Question is if it's going to come on through how's it going to be answered by Rad in the 01:41:44.280 --> 01:41:50.200 second stage of a fight or how many ultimates can be forced in the prelude to the resurrection. 01:41:50.200 --> 01:41:53.320 It's going to be all about long-term planning here from Risen Gaming, because once again 01:41:53.320 --> 01:41:57.160 they're putting all of their cards into the ballast deck. 01:41:59.880 --> 01:42:04.520 DRP guarding that front door. I said Magneto that he is so well known for 01:42:05.320 --> 01:42:09.880 Risen Gaming. They have ways to feel for any kind of dive that comes their way. Look out for the 01:42:09.880 --> 01:42:16.120 sleep from Sejuro. In KitKat he can try to help them fade away from their problems. Rad is looking 01:42:16.120 --> 01:42:21.080 to section off this Magneto possibly with a group of ball and to have Lugia with enough space to 01:42:21.080 --> 01:42:26.120 dive in and DRP also has to peel but not forget what's in front of him. Yeah Lugia doesn't even 01:42:26.120 --> 01:42:30.520 have to exit that quickly if he doesn't want to. The crazy kitty on this warbrain is definitely 01:42:30.520 --> 01:42:35.160 going to make sure that you are constantly at the right of this happening. DRP has to use the 01:42:35.160 --> 01:42:39.280 the red bubble to avoid the incoming feral leap, but the damage is already done. Walled 01:42:39.280 --> 01:42:44.040 off, it's perfect execution to get rid of the first of those vanguards. A big grab onto 01:42:44.040 --> 01:42:48.040 Valles. Before we could even hit the ground, the dark decorations of Blue Gear managed 01:42:48.040 --> 01:42:51.960 to find their man, and while Rusty reattempted to shut down on the Wolverine, Crazy Kitty 01:42:51.960 --> 01:42:58.000 did hear no bell, and those adamantine claws tear through Deadpool's flesh in record time. 01:42:58.000 --> 01:43:02.240 Should be a quick re-engage here off the back of DRP's portal. Would already be able to start 01:43:02.240 --> 01:43:26.800 and that will qualify them for the playoff bracket. 01:43:26.800 --> 01:43:34.000 congratulations to Rad and reason gaming for denting the armor, the very shiny main character 01:43:34.000 --> 01:43:42.160 plot armor of Rad on that first domination, but Ducky with back-to-back MVPs, it's I think a huge 01:43:42.160 --> 01:43:48.320 strength of Rad to have as good of vanguards as they do, whether it's how pivotal the dives from 01:43:48.320 --> 01:43:54.480 Lugi have been for Ducky to just cause so much chaos with how he puts up these fights, and of 01:43:54.480 --> 01:43:58.880 course with ads poke the way that when you have strong vanguards you have happy duelists, 01:43:58.880 --> 01:44:04.080 you have happy strategies that can basically play in Narnia and just poke everybody down. 01:44:04.080 --> 01:44:08.560 Which reason gaming tried to a bit of a dive without the venom. Of course, of course, now 01:44:08.560 --> 01:44:15.520 pass what was on the venom, but too little too late. Bro, Ducky two maps, zero casualties. 01:44:15.520 --> 01:44:22.720 That is, that's, it's bonkers, it's, it's the only way to put it, like Rose playing, playing Groot and Mag. 01:44:22.720 --> 01:44:29.680 He's not able to disengage, he's not going to make a choose play to live his life, just raw skill as well, 01:44:29.680 --> 01:44:35.360 as Vertigo mash and occasionally crazy kitty behind them on the stage, just some great 01:44:35.360 --> 01:44:39.680 healing, some great survivability, and ran. If you just look how they took out the RP 01:44:39.680 --> 01:44:44.080 beginning of that, like the great form using their English form, as well as threatening 01:44:44.080 --> 01:44:50.640 the Wolverine at the same time. They were making sure that DRP was not going to be able to use their 01:44:50.640 --> 01:44:55.040 shields too aggressively, but you want to save that shield for when the Wolverine's coming, 01:44:55.040 --> 01:44:58.960 to avoid getting grabbed, but it meant that you couldn't use it to avoid the incoming huge amounts 01:44:58.960 --> 01:45:03.120 of poke, and that was really intolerable for Rad given that Sophie's choice to deal with. 01:45:03.120 --> 01:45:07.280 Yeah, I'm glad you pointed out the Invisible Woman, because Vertigo was next level. He's 01:45:07.280 --> 01:45:13.600 posed a dense venom, but that is it for Rad, and I'm really excited to see and hear more from them. 01:45:13.600 --> 01:45:16.880 We're gonna have an interview with them very soon potable. We'll get them ready 01:45:16.880 --> 01:45:20.840 But what did you think of that right ended up winning of course? Yeah, I think 01:45:21.520 --> 01:45:29.640 So do you only like the biggest weakness? I guess you could say we saw you know great ban and protect phase from reason in map one 01:45:29.640 --> 01:45:34.080 They kind of caught the other team off guard and hopefully they could have cared that momentum board 01:45:34.080 --> 01:45:37.720 But then they forgot how good ducky is on this group 01:45:37.720 --> 01:45:43.620 You mentioned like they two maps in a row with not a single casualty against them and they had the most damage 01:45:43.620 --> 01:45:47.940 The most final hits the most damage blocked in this last map on the group 01:45:47.940 --> 01:45:51.600 Yes, the Loki is always a priority in some cases 01:45:51.600 --> 01:45:57.840 But you have a player who's so good on this one hero that they did not fall down once in your previous map 01:45:57.840 --> 01:46:02.880 I'd have been a better idea to focus on that instead of the Loki who knows I'm just one of the analysts here 01:46:02.880 --> 01:46:06.720 But still, reason gaming, I mean, hey, they gave it the best fight that they could. 01:46:06.720 --> 01:46:08.680 We saw a great look from them in map one. 01:46:08.680 --> 01:46:12.720 And if it ever goes down to tiebreakers for map differential, this bodes well for them, right? 01:46:12.720 --> 01:46:14.880 Because they were able to get at least one. 01:46:14.880 --> 01:46:17.360 But you know they're wanting more here, Lemon. 01:46:17.360 --> 01:46:21.920 They want to at least get something for the road to secure themselves as a spotting group. 01:46:21.920 --> 01:46:25.760 But hey, Rad, they secured a spot in the playoffs, and that's what matters for that team. 01:46:25.760 --> 01:46:31.200 Hey, I think every map win matters when it comes to tiebreakers and stuff in the future. 01:46:31.200 --> 01:46:35.520 math knowers are gonna break that down better for us but only four teams to make it out of groups 01:46:35.520 --> 01:46:41.360 and maybe that backflip could be the difference maker of reason gaming surviving at later down 01:46:41.360 --> 01:46:46.320 the road but I think reason just have good ideas but too many mixed ideas they wanted a strong poke 01:46:46.320 --> 01:46:50.880 phase with Deadpool then wanted to dive with Psylocke and then there wasn't like a nice vanguard 01:46:50.880 --> 01:46:55.040 to play along with that so I think you can kind of tailor some of these strengths I'd like to see 01:46:55.040 --> 01:47:00.560 reason be on the same page about what strength do they want is it a strong poke strong dive and how 01:47:00.560 --> 01:47:04.720 How can you really unite all of the strengths to have a cohesive push? 01:47:04.720 --> 01:47:08.320 Because they would have good pushes without being able to close them out. 01:47:08.320 --> 01:47:09.920 It was a big comfort for me. 01:47:09.920 --> 01:47:12.760 Well, it sounds like in a bit, we're going to be getting Ducky on the line. 01:47:12.760 --> 01:47:15.080 So it'll let you know as soon as we have them. 01:47:15.080 --> 01:47:18.680 They're great to hear from them, especially after the performance that they had in those last two maps. 01:47:18.680 --> 01:47:21.560 I'm glad that they were actually able to get them locked in for that. 01:47:21.560 --> 01:47:24.440 But like they talk about the rest of the roster here for Rad. 01:47:24.440 --> 01:47:29.840 I mean, who was the like biggest MVP aside from Ducky into these last two maps? 01:47:29.840 --> 01:47:38.840 Well, I mean, like, I want to say Smashners, but it's hard to attribute it to just the Smashners when, like, the rest of the team is, like, playing the Mantis, playing the Ultron. 01:47:38.840 --> 01:47:39.840 Yeah. 01:47:39.840 --> 01:47:53.840 You have that supporting cast. Like, in the end, Smashners is the one who hit the shots, right? Hit the headshots, and actually get frags through strategist ultimates, by the way, through Winger Rot, which is to repeat the word that I have reserved for Ducky, bonkers. 01:47:53.840 --> 01:48:05.340 Like Smashners' accuracy was kind of off the charts today, it was really, I used to catch like a, I think, Noctur in mid-air on Starlock after a dash as well, but it was been flicking out of his mind. 01:48:05.340 --> 01:48:13.840 Like, the presence of a supporting cast for making Smashners be as dangerous as he was, but in the end, the man holding the mouse is the one who gets a lot of the credit. 01:48:13.840 --> 01:48:23.340 Yeah, I like to see the performance from the entire roster, of course, right? I mean, having the where of fall to be like, hey, you know, take it on the chin, first map, didn't go our way. 01:48:23.340 --> 01:48:27.460 but domination is a different beast compared to the rest of the game modes. 01:48:27.460 --> 01:48:33.260 And I feel like RAD have shown their experience now that they're not just like a one-trick pony on a domination map, 01:48:33.260 --> 01:48:35.300 and then, you know, do pretty decent on the next one. 01:48:35.300 --> 01:48:40.140 They have that depth to them, and that's what really separates, you know, the best teams from the great teams. 01:48:40.140 --> 01:48:43.820 And I think recent gaming is on their way to becoming a really good team, 01:48:43.820 --> 01:48:48.380 but they still have some things to work out with, and I feel like after they have more time with this roster, 01:48:48.380 --> 01:48:51.700 they'll be able to do that, but unfortunately for them, you know, they had to miss apps, 01:48:51.700 --> 01:48:56.640 They had to get the subs last minute and bringing in DRP and ballast to the fold and they've 01:48:56.640 --> 01:48:57.640 looked so much better. 01:48:57.640 --> 01:49:00.920 I mean, I gotta give a shout out where it's due to this recent gaming roster. 01:49:00.920 --> 01:49:03.520 As the matches have gone, they have continued to improve. 01:49:03.520 --> 01:49:06.440 Yes, it wasn't as close as it could have been in those last two, but the fact that they 01:49:06.440 --> 01:49:10.000 took a map off of Rad, nobody really predicted that one. 01:49:10.000 --> 01:49:11.320 So hats off to them there. 01:49:11.320 --> 01:49:15.600 And then Lemon, I mean, I feel like most improved in this roster has to go to Nocta, like seeing 01:49:15.600 --> 01:49:20.160 the difference from the first series of Ignite preseason to now is a whole different story. 01:49:20.160 --> 01:49:25.560 Yeah, I just commend someone like Nocta to swap to anything and everything that the team needs, 01:49:25.560 --> 01:49:29.800 whether it's the Moon Knight, whether we agreed or not, it was that counter to the low key. 01:49:29.800 --> 01:49:34.280 They've also tried to create the chaos in these fights, and I think Nocta has really stepped up. 01:49:34.280 --> 01:49:41.280 Like you said, it's a roster that doesn't have the chemistry and the synergy compared to Rad with all these pieces coming in and out, 01:49:41.280 --> 01:49:46.440 and not a full-core roster that has played in multiple, multiple matches compared to Rad. 01:49:46.440 --> 01:49:50.120 So very proud of how reason did, especially on that domination. 01:49:50.120 --> 01:49:53.920 And it's like their stall packs, the comms were good on domination, 01:49:53.920 --> 01:49:57.480 but broke down later on, put rad for full proof. 01:49:57.640 --> 01:50:02.360 And it's just the spacing, how the Vanguard's play on rad that I can really appreciate. 01:50:02.480 --> 01:50:04.520 They know how to protect the rest of their line. 01:50:04.680 --> 01:50:08.120 And when you can have dualists that can sit back and open the strategies, 01:50:08.120 --> 01:50:11.800 there was no way reason gaming were even going to get in sniffing distance 01:50:11.800 --> 01:50:13.960 of this defensive line. 01:50:13.960 --> 01:50:19.320 Yeah, I mean, going back to what you were talking about with the backline, essentially, for RAD, 01:50:19.320 --> 01:50:23.560 I mean, they've played together for such a long time, like we saw on CHOP with CrazyKitty, 01:50:23.560 --> 01:50:29.360 so having that synergy between the backline, I feel like, really elevates this roster compared to some of the other ones that are out there. 01:50:29.960 --> 01:50:37.560 I mean, as cruel as it is to say, I think I can see a world where DRP looks at the treatment that he's getting and is missing, 01:50:37.560 --> 01:50:39.760 but he gone chomp the little thing in there. 01:50:40.760 --> 01:50:41.760 Maybe a little bit. 01:50:41.760 --> 01:50:43.760 They were mine! 01:50:43.760 --> 01:50:45.760 No! 01:50:45.760 --> 01:50:47.760 Oh, man. 01:50:47.760 --> 01:50:49.760 DRP versus Ducky. 01:50:49.760 --> 01:50:51.760 This was definitely a great Vanguard matchup, 01:50:51.760 --> 01:50:53.760 but Mash and Verde are going to make all the difference. 01:50:53.760 --> 01:50:55.760 And, honestly, 01:50:55.760 --> 01:50:57.760 if I want to talk about something in this series, 01:50:57.760 --> 01:50:59.760 the sort of recent game we had the key in the first map, 01:50:59.760 --> 01:51:01.760 and they kept banning for that same 01:51:01.760 --> 01:51:03.760 for that same squad, 01:51:03.760 --> 01:51:05.760 that same comp that beats Reds 01:51:05.760 --> 01:51:07.760 in map one, 01:51:07.760 --> 01:51:09.760 and then didn't use the comp 01:51:09.760 --> 01:51:12.060 the beat brands in map one. 01:51:13.560 --> 01:51:14.160 Yeah. 01:51:14.160 --> 01:51:18.760 Like, we're making our return band phase about like playing these triple strategies. 01:51:18.760 --> 01:51:21.760 Like, if we're not going to play it, let's just protect Gambit. 01:51:21.760 --> 01:51:26.560 And then at least we've got Raging Royal Flush for our two duelists to be able to farm up their 01:51:26.560 --> 01:51:28.060 ultimates and do a lot more damage. 01:51:28.460 --> 01:51:31.360 I feel like, I hate that they'll win it too much. 01:51:31.360 --> 01:51:34.560 But recent game, they kind of got a little bit lost in the source for this one. 01:51:34.560 --> 01:51:35.160 Yeah. 01:51:35.560 --> 01:51:37.160 They focused so much on the red phase. 01:51:37.160 --> 01:51:43.960 And honestly they sucked rad into it. They made rad believe in the Mantis. They're like, okay, yeah, you know what that's pretty good 01:51:43.960 --> 01:51:47.960 We're gonna play the Mantis Ultron. They actually played it which was a big difference maker 01:51:47.960 --> 01:51:54.920 Oh, well, we got Ducky here from the winning team of rad not a single casualty against you in the last two maps 01:51:54.920 --> 01:51:56.360 But I want to talk about 01:51:56.360 --> 01:52:01.680 Immensal that went into you guys after seeing that they didn't ban your Groot both maps in a row 01:52:01.680 --> 01:52:03.680 What was going through your minds there Ducky? 01:52:04.160 --> 01:52:05.480 I mean 01:52:05.480 --> 01:52:11.080 Groups never really like a good ban. I don't I don't think groups ever lost a ban in the draft in my opinion 01:52:11.280 --> 01:52:14.940 But I mean I just love it when one mantis is open 01:52:14.940 --> 01:52:20.600 I think who is like yeah, yeah, okay, and I don't think they have a new player that can match me 01:52:20.600 --> 01:52:23.520 So it's just like in free my opinion 01:52:24.520 --> 01:52:26.520 I want to chat that mantis because 01:52:27.000 --> 01:52:30.280 You guys weren't as big a believer in the mantis in the first map 01:52:30.280 --> 01:52:38.040 You've recognised it's value in the second, but you also managed to force reason off of playing that triple strategist quite often 01:52:38.040 --> 01:52:43.400 Is there anything in particular your team was doing to make sure that triple back strategist didn't feel viable for a reason? 01:52:45.000 --> 01:52:48.160 I mean, I will say 01:52:48.800 --> 01:52:50.480 everyone on the team was 01:52:50.480 --> 01:52:52.680 really unhappy with our draw off the first map and 01:52:53.200 --> 01:52:58.520 Also, but I was really like I think he was lagging like a lot. He said he had like a hundred thing at some point 01:52:58.520 --> 01:53:03.040 which I take my word for it because he's my teammate so I'll take his word for it but 01:53:03.040 --> 01:53:08.640 yeah after that we just had to look in after that because I cannot be losing to these guys. 01:53:08.640 --> 01:53:18.160 It happens and I want to talk about also what happens on map number one because you know as a 01:53:18.160 --> 01:53:22.400 group mate I love watching you play and get to see the group for you on map one, got to see some 01:53:22.400 --> 01:53:27.960 Magneto. What did you think of what was challenging you the most on map one and kind of what went 01:53:27.960 --> 01:53:29.680 and prone to your team on that one? 01:53:30.880 --> 01:53:33.400 I mean, on map 1 it was just, it was the draw off 01:53:33.400 --> 01:53:36.520 and also, Vortico was lagging, apparently, 01:53:36.520 --> 01:53:38.360 which I believe in, but... 01:53:38.360 --> 01:53:42.280 And also, I just, they felt like there was a lot less energy 01:53:42.280 --> 01:53:43.840 in map 1 from all of us in the team 01:53:43.840 --> 01:53:46.400 and then like, we kind of just like, 01:53:46.400 --> 01:53:47.680 we had a tool car that we just, 01:53:47.680 --> 01:53:49.320 we do not want to lose to these guys. 01:53:49.320 --> 01:53:52.120 The only people we'd accept losing to in this bracket 01:53:52.120 --> 01:53:54.760 is VP, as the only people we'd accept losing to. 01:53:54.760 --> 01:53:55.600 So... 01:53:55.600 --> 01:53:56.440 That's very... 01:53:56.440 --> 01:53:59.080 and we can't leave these games. 01:54:00.440 --> 01:54:01.720 No, that's super valid. 01:54:01.720 --> 01:54:04.080 And with this win, you guys have secured your spot 01:54:04.080 --> 01:54:04.920 in the playoffs. 01:54:04.920 --> 01:54:06.880 We still have two series ahead of you, 01:54:06.880 --> 01:54:09.240 one versus vision, one versus VP. 01:54:09.240 --> 01:54:11.800 I know you said VP is the one to look forward to, 01:54:11.800 --> 01:54:14.160 but this is the last question we have for you, Ducky, 01:54:14.160 --> 01:54:17.160 is like looking forward to those matches. 01:54:17.160 --> 01:54:18.680 Do you have any thoughts about vision? 01:54:18.680 --> 01:54:19.960 Are you worried too much against them, 01:54:19.960 --> 01:54:23.040 or are you just mainly focused on that first pro matchup? 01:54:23.040 --> 01:54:30.600 I'm just focused on myself. I mean, I contribute a little bit to draft, but I just want to make 01:54:30.600 --> 01:54:35.880 sure I'm playing the best I possibly can in all the officials I play. Because at the 01:54:35.880 --> 01:54:40.640 end of the day, I am the main tank, I'm kind of like the head of the team, so I have to 01:54:40.640 --> 01:54:44.240 make sure I'm playing my best, otherwise the whole team is just going to crumble if I'm 01:54:44.240 --> 01:54:46.240 not playing my best ability. 01:54:46.240 --> 01:54:49.240 Okay, I respect it. 01:54:49.240 --> 01:54:51.240 Well, you played pretty well, I would say. 01:54:51.240 --> 01:54:54.240 Going as defeated two maps in a row looked pretty awesome. 01:54:54.240 --> 01:54:56.240 Well, thank you, Ducky, for joining us for the interview. 01:54:56.240 --> 01:55:00.240 I'm sure we'll hear from you later on this weekend. Enjoy your win. 01:55:00.240 --> 01:55:02.240 Thank you, Bob. 01:55:05.240 --> 01:55:08.240 And that was Ducky from Rad Esports. 01:55:08.240 --> 01:55:11.240 They got the 2-1 victory. They said, you know, maybe some thing issues, 01:55:11.240 --> 01:55:14.240 but really they weren't feeling as confident in map 1, 01:55:14.240 --> 01:55:17.840 and then it really showed how confident they were from Denon out, Levin. 01:55:17.840 --> 01:55:23.240 Yeah, and this is a nice warm-up, if you will, for that big final boss, 01:55:23.240 --> 01:55:25.840 Birdus Pro as Rad's last match. 01:55:25.840 --> 01:55:28.740 Now this is just about seeding, because they've qualified. 01:55:28.740 --> 01:55:33.940 But getting that number one seed in the maybe Dodge, Novi, or Heretic's game 01:55:33.940 --> 01:55:37.640 that they have to play, which is in the other group, but how seeding works for playoffs. 01:55:37.640 --> 01:55:40.740 But Rad looks really good today. 01:55:40.740 --> 01:55:46.740 Just kind of work on Kokoroa Domination and the drafts and giving the vibes and the energy off the bat. 01:55:46.740 --> 01:55:52.740 Yes, we do, but we also have to take a little bit of a breather ourselves after that three-game finish that we saw. 01:55:52.740 --> 01:55:56.740 We have Peps and Pulsar winning on the other end of this break. 01:56:10.740 --> 01:56:21.740 I remember the dusk, the lights gripping tight me 01:56:21.740 --> 01:56:24.740 Trapping all those lighting souls, buddy 01:56:24.740 --> 01:56:28.740 Across the world I see you standing in my way 01:56:28.740 --> 01:56:32.740 I remember the time, the place we used to fight 01:56:32.740 --> 01:56:35.740 Late sun and moon and dark wonder 01:56:35.740 --> 01:56:39.740 I thought it was a time that we were friends 01:56:39.740 --> 01:56:43.140 And I have solid shadows, no mannequins 01:56:43.140 --> 01:56:45.740 That's what has been for minutes, take you out 01:56:45.740 --> 01:56:48.140 The yards I know were a last reunion 01:56:48.140 --> 01:56:51.140 Break the chains, find your way, come fight me 01:56:52.540 --> 01:56:56.140 Do you remember who you really are? 01:56:56.140 --> 01:56:58.740 Show me that you are still the only one for me 01:56:58.740 --> 01:57:00.740 I'll be waiting for you 01:57:01.540 --> 01:57:04.740 When you get up, I'll make your price raising 01:57:04.740 --> 01:57:07.740 With sense, my skin turns purple 01:57:07.740 --> 01:57:10.300 You follow the risks that I'm telling you 01:57:10.300 --> 01:57:13.500 We are levels in the end by then 01:57:13.500 --> 01:57:15.020 And I've done my toll 01:57:15.020 --> 01:57:18.460 But you always know it can't stop us 01:57:18.460 --> 01:57:22.460 The arrival's till the end of time 01:57:22.460 --> 01:57:25.180 We will clash, you're right away 01:57:25.180 --> 01:57:27.660 We will fight, we're wasting our cross times 01:57:27.660 --> 01:57:30.780 Face on, you are my 01:57:30.780 --> 01:57:32.780 Take me back to the end 01:57:43.780 --> 01:57:46.780 You see the dawn, the flame, ringing right 01:57:46.780 --> 01:57:49.780 Shining one north and a breeze in the east 01:57:49.780 --> 01:57:53.780 Across the time I see you turning left sides 01:57:53.780 --> 01:57:57.780 And do you see now, at time, at time, I can still fight 01:57:57.780 --> 01:58:00.900 I could win this fight, wonder how you're 01:58:00.900 --> 01:58:04.980 Then now it's the only time your heart is mine 01:58:05.700 --> 01:58:08.340 Life has fallen, darkness well done 01:58:08.340 --> 01:58:10.900 Can't be right for our destiny and fate 01:58:20.500 --> 01:58:22.500 Fantastic! 02:00:57.780 --> 02:01:05.420 Well, we already have one map 3 out of the way for today's festivities, but now we have 02:01:05.420 --> 02:01:10.860 a must-win matchup between both of these teams, perhaps if they lose, still in the competition 02:01:10.860 --> 02:01:15.100 technically for groups, but they definitely want the best odds, and Pulsar, if they lose 02:01:15.100 --> 02:01:20.380 at this series, they will be going out of the group stage without making it to the playoffs. 02:01:20.380 --> 02:01:23.900 Of course, they'll have one more match to play against Navi tomorrow. 02:01:23.900 --> 02:01:27.740 Those are the stakes here, Levin, to talk about between these two teams. 02:01:27.740 --> 02:01:30.540 So it's a must win scenario for both of these squads. 02:01:30.540 --> 02:01:32.780 Big day for Pulsar. 02:01:32.780 --> 02:01:35.540 Feather, show up or show yourself out. 02:01:35.540 --> 02:01:37.340 Elimination day for them. 02:01:37.340 --> 02:01:42.580 But talking about Epps first, this team has a lot of fun niche picks and play styles that 02:01:42.580 --> 02:01:43.580 can surprise some teams. 02:01:43.580 --> 02:01:48.860 They've got a heavier lean towards the Angelo with a Frankie boxing, getting the mitts out. 02:01:48.860 --> 02:01:49.860 Those disruption styles. 02:01:49.860 --> 02:01:55.860 You need glooks on the porch in the sidewalk six is a hit scan that can really shine on his team. 02:01:55.860 --> 02:02:03.860 His mechanics are insane. I think pink sets him up beautifully and proto on the Jeff low key secret ace of their sleeve. 02:02:03.860 --> 02:02:14.860 Oh yeah, love to see the Jeff play come out. I mean, especially like either it's the blanking Jeff or you're just kind of keeping your allies alive on the back line just with the long beams of water against them. 02:02:14.860 --> 02:02:18.060 against them, but like they tell me a little bit about this pulsar roster. 02:02:18.060 --> 02:02:21.160 Who's really the players to look out for on this team to pop off? 02:02:21.720 --> 02:02:24.960 For me, the real standout here probably going to be leftist at T-Las. 02:02:25.300 --> 02:02:28.900 Finish, finish legend, great on all of the strategies. 02:02:28.900 --> 02:02:32.960 I think Invis woman probably leftist is strongest outlook here. 02:02:33.120 --> 02:02:37.500 I wouldn't be shocked to see an Invis ban go their way, especially given in the last series. 02:02:37.500 --> 02:02:41.560 So how impactful an Invis ban can be when it comes to enabling those off angle 02:02:41.560 --> 02:02:46.920 duelist kind of a match-ups which are gonna require flying a bit of a heavy 02:02:46.920 --> 02:02:50.840 focused potentially towards sabotech. We know El Chabagoo is a bit of a melee 02:02:50.840 --> 02:02:57.640 enthusiast which isn't the most invoker though. We have seen 02:02:57.640 --> 02:03:01.920 considerable success from Daredevil. I think that's probably gonna fall off a 02:03:01.920 --> 02:03:05.520 little bit knowing that now there's an easy swan over to a white fox who tends 02:03:05.520 --> 02:03:08.720 to win their 1v1s against Daredevil which is the first of the strategists. 02:03:08.720 --> 02:03:12.220 I like that you highlighted this melee specialist. 02:03:12.220 --> 02:03:14.820 I think this is not a strong metaphor for this team. 02:03:14.820 --> 02:03:18.820 And I think a team like Pulsar or Esports is looking for that standout, 02:03:18.820 --> 02:03:22.620 that pop-off player, and El Chapagoo has been this wild card. 02:03:22.620 --> 02:03:24.820 Wolverine, the things like the Daredevil, 02:03:24.820 --> 02:03:27.920 it can be really countered by just strong Magneto players 02:03:27.920 --> 02:03:30.920 that know when to bubble people who are getting harassed 02:03:30.920 --> 02:03:34.720 by a guy named El Chapagoo, which is already a hilarious name. 02:03:34.720 --> 02:03:37.520 But looking to see how El Chapagoo is going to adapt, 02:03:37.520 --> 02:03:39.240 Because at least that's what I really like about him. 02:03:39.240 --> 02:03:42.480 He's not afraid to swap everything he can to make it work. 02:03:43.520 --> 02:03:46.080 Well, we'll see how both these teams make it work, of course, 02:03:46.080 --> 02:03:48.600 as we mentioned before, the stakes of this matchup. 02:03:48.600 --> 02:03:50.160 And that's going to be the big thing to focus on. 02:03:50.160 --> 02:03:52.560 But hopefully the pressure doesn't get too out of them. 02:03:52.560 --> 02:03:55.720 They're both two teams who are looking for their first series 02:03:55.720 --> 02:03:59.160 when we saw only two series so far from peps and Pulsar 02:03:59.160 --> 02:04:02.200 have a little bit more experience under their belts. 02:04:02.200 --> 02:04:04.440 I mean, they placed off against Team Heretics, 02:04:04.440 --> 02:04:07.280 most recently took a map against Alter East Sports 02:04:07.280 --> 02:04:12.240 and then Shikigami was their first series last week, so they've had a tough goal of it. 02:04:12.240 --> 02:04:16.080 This is their best chance for success, but it's the same on the other side. 02:04:16.080 --> 02:04:20.720 For Peps, they played Navi and Heretics. None of them have had an easy goal of this level. 02:04:21.520 --> 02:04:27.920 I just think Peps' schedule is actual hell. Like, Heretics has your first one as a clear, 02:04:27.920 --> 02:04:31.440 I would, number two, I guess, in the power rankings. Navi being at number one, 02:04:31.440 --> 02:04:35.040 yeah, at least you get all the hard ones out of the way. Now you have a whole week 02:04:35.040 --> 02:04:40.000 to try and deal with the rest of the bracket or the rest of the people that you're standing. 02:04:40.000 --> 02:04:45.120 So glad to see the team peps. I think people could be underrating them just based on how tough 02:04:45.120 --> 02:04:50.400 their schedule is. So I think I kind of got cut some this far. Okay, okay. I mean, if we're doing 02:04:50.400 --> 02:04:55.040 predictions on this, what are you feeling for this leg day? I mean, we have Celestial Husk as 02:04:55.040 --> 02:04:59.440 the map. I think Pulsar have a chance at beps all the way. I think this is going to be one of the 02:04:59.440 --> 02:05:04.440 the most hotly contested best of 02:05:04.440 --> 02:05:05.440 threes of the entire bracket, 02:05:05.440 --> 02:05:07.440 but I maybe as a recency bias 02:05:07.440 --> 02:05:09.440 seeing team peps kind of get 02:05:09.440 --> 02:05:11.440 one over on that. We were not 02:05:11.440 --> 02:05:12.440 winning the map on Celestial 02:05:12.440 --> 02:05:13.440 Husk previously. We don't met 02:05:13.440 --> 02:05:15.440 Celestial Husk again. I like 02:05:15.440 --> 02:05:16.440 team pups is a flyer style 02:05:16.440 --> 02:05:18.440 heading into this. We'll see if 02:05:18.440 --> 02:05:19.440 our sports have done their 02:05:19.440 --> 02:05:20.440 homework and ban out of things 02:05:20.440 --> 02:05:22.440 like the torch and the Angela 02:05:22.440 --> 02:05:25.440 later on in the band phase. But 02:05:25.440 --> 02:05:26.440 I think that this is a really 02:05:26.440 --> 02:05:27.440 strong map for team peps and I 02:05:27.440 --> 02:05:28.440 would not be surprised to see 02:05:28.440 --> 02:05:34.680 only maps that Pulsar have actually won is on Celestial Horse. They went the distance against 02:05:34.680 --> 02:05:40.840 Altar Esports. They went all the way to round three, so I'm excited, but will Saptic be able to 02:05:40.840 --> 02:05:47.480 play the Elsa? That is, I think, the consistent performer, the fragger on this team, so that's 02:05:47.480 --> 02:05:51.640 kind of what I'm wondering when it comes to this team. That's the big question. What are we going 02:05:51.640 --> 02:05:55.000 to see priority-wise? Is it going to be the Elsa? Is it going to be the Gambit? Are we going to see 02:05:55.000 --> 02:05:59.880 some of those Angela bands out there. That's what makes this meta so fun because there's at least 02:05:59.880 --> 02:06:04.600 more than just like you're banning the Mag or the Emma like we used to see in previous seasons. 02:06:04.600 --> 02:06:10.360 There's a couple bit more going down to the strategy of the ban and protect system itself, 02:06:10.360 --> 02:06:15.240 which is just great. It's healthy for the game. I feel like the 20% all-charge nerf that we had 02:06:15.240 --> 02:06:19.560 at the start of the season, it definitely contributed to that and a bit more focus on 02:06:19.560 --> 02:06:26.440 certain heroes over the others. But Team Beps and Pulsar Esports, both these teams giving it their 02:06:26.440 --> 02:06:32.040 all, map one, it didn't even matter so much more. I mean we saw it in the last one, it didn't as much 02:06:32.040 --> 02:06:36.760 unfortunately for reason, but between these two squads just having that one edge, that one map 02:06:36.760 --> 02:06:41.880 win is going to be the difference maker between these two teams. And we talked about it Jen. 02:06:41.880 --> 02:06:47.400 We saw some great looks from Pulsar in the first time that they had a performance on Celestial 02:06:47.400 --> 02:06:50.680 So can they replicate that going into the series? 02:06:50.680 --> 02:06:52.840 We'll see how they do against Team Peps. 02:06:52.840 --> 02:06:54.600 Well, like that, we already had a map greener. 02:06:54.600 --> 02:06:57.760 First series, I could see this being the same way. 02:06:57.760 --> 02:06:59.440 And if I could cope, because I always 02:06:59.440 --> 02:07:02.440 got to have my daily cope, El Chapagoobs Wolverine, 02:07:02.440 --> 02:07:05.560 I think it looked very strong on Celestial Husk. 02:07:05.560 --> 02:07:09.240 A lot of good places to tackle people off the map on, 02:07:09.240 --> 02:07:10.560 depending on what ground you're in. 02:07:10.560 --> 02:07:13.040 But that's the big wild card, the big question mark 02:07:13.040 --> 02:07:14.480 on this team for me. 02:07:14.480 --> 02:07:15.480 All right. 02:07:15.480 --> 02:07:18.560 is going to be Elsa as our first one here. 02:07:18.560 --> 02:07:20.080 Question is, are we going to see these teams 02:07:20.080 --> 02:07:21.040 pivot into the Gambit? 02:07:21.040 --> 02:07:23.120 Which is what we expected from our previous two teams, 02:07:23.120 --> 02:07:24.960 but they did prefer the Mantis Ultron. 02:07:24.960 --> 02:07:27.000 It doesn't seem like Pulsar is going to be going 02:07:27.000 --> 02:07:29.840 for the old classic here with Gambit on the table. 02:07:29.840 --> 02:07:31.680 And this means that maybe later on in our bands, 02:07:31.680 --> 02:07:33.320 we're going to have to consider something like a rogue 02:07:33.320 --> 02:07:34.200 being taken off the table, 02:07:34.200 --> 02:07:36.600 because that team up is very powerful 02:07:36.600 --> 02:07:38.880 and unsurprisingly is going to be a low key taken away 02:07:38.880 --> 02:07:41.480 to avoid double raging royal flashes. 02:07:42.360 --> 02:07:45.280 The Angelo and Domination is going to be something 02:07:45.280 --> 02:07:51.440 I can't wait. A big bright point on this Team Peps roster is always going to be Frankie for me. 02:07:51.440 --> 02:07:55.520 And I know we love to just highlight the duelist every day and night, 02:07:55.520 --> 02:08:00.800 but an Angela did here could make all the difference. And tackling versus tackling, 02:08:00.800 --> 02:08:06.800 we got El Chapagoo baby on the Wolverine, Frankie on Angela. It's just tackle central. 02:08:06.800 --> 02:08:11.280 But someone like Pink, I think has such an interesting hero pool and could even bring out 02:08:11.280 --> 02:08:15.040 something like the porch, which has been popular on Solis O'Hoss going to pass. 02:08:16.480 --> 02:08:22.000 Yeah, we have seen Pink absolutely do numbers on that one, especially against a team like Navi, 02:08:22.000 --> 02:08:26.320 who are running a triple strategist into it. There's going to be one side of Gambit due to that 02:08:26.320 --> 02:08:31.280 priority protect on the Mantis, but we have seen this come back to back teams before. Team Peps 02:08:31.280 --> 02:08:35.760 definitely are angling for something a little bit more akin to an Ultron Mantis here, would not be 02:08:35.760 --> 02:08:40.960 surprised if we see Ultron protect. Oh, it's going to be the Vanguard pull protect. This is interesting. 02:08:40.960 --> 02:08:44.160 Now Pulsar for their last have to figure out do we want to get rid of the Mantis? 02:08:44.160 --> 02:08:48.520 Do we want to get do we want to get rid of the Ultron rather to stop that Mantis Ultron double boost? 02:08:48.720 --> 02:08:55.880 Do we want to try and get rid of the Jeth or the Invis which could be a great pocket for Pink up in the sky? 02:08:56.440 --> 02:09:00.840 Or maybe you just try and get rid of the Johnny himself. No, Invis is gonna be the one off the table. 02:09:01.520 --> 02:09:10.320 And no Star Lord for Pulsar, which means that Pink, you know, we don't even ban the torch because I don't think anyone is worried about the torch 02:09:10.320 --> 02:09:15.840 We don't worry about what happened last series. Okay, so I'd love to see pink back on the torch because they were able to force 02:09:17.040 --> 02:09:23.000 800 to 99 plus against Navi, but the pressure team that go to the edge is off of again these niche picks 02:09:23.000 --> 02:09:26.540 That's what it is really exciting about team peps 02:09:27.040 --> 02:09:31.560 So pink won't be able to fall back to the star lord those if the torches a workout. Good luck 02:09:33.120 --> 02:09:37.120 Yeah, it might be a little bit low on those are you can see here for deliberation 02:09:37.120 --> 02:09:45.120 is going to be the rogue band taking off the table knowing that rogue is going to be quite dangerous with the team up given over by the gambit. 02:09:45.120 --> 02:09:48.120 For a while they were hovering over the daredevil and the Wolverine like, 02:09:48.120 --> 02:09:51.120 how much do we want to try and constrain the champagoon, Pierre? 02:09:51.120 --> 02:09:58.120 How much do we believe in the El Trouba Gubra, the biggest mythos for Pulsar Resports here? 02:09:58.120 --> 02:10:01.120 And we are going to see champagoon able to access that daredevil. 02:10:01.120 --> 02:10:04.720 I'm really going to see how much it brings to the table in pro play. 02:10:04.720 --> 02:10:09.400 Daredevil does have a specific advantage of having perfect information within a certain 02:10:09.400 --> 02:10:12.520 radius, which is very good when everyone is on the same page. 02:10:12.520 --> 02:10:14.440 Now how are you going to execute your dives? 02:10:14.440 --> 02:10:18.720 Okay, so I think we'll be able to have the Star Wars backup and I just can't wait to 02:10:18.720 --> 02:10:25.720 see some more torch because this has been so niche on maps like this one and even other 02:10:25.720 --> 02:10:28.480 maps that we've seen. 02:10:28.480 --> 02:10:33.220 more triple strategist and there's so many variations of it whether you can 02:10:33.220 --> 02:10:36.580 have the Mantis I think that there's a more defensive flavor when you have 02:10:36.580 --> 02:10:40.620 Adam that can go for more of those rebots but we'll see what everyone ends out 02:10:40.620 --> 02:10:46.020 with coming out of the gates looking at a strong dive here for Polsar but more 02:10:46.020 --> 02:10:49.620 of a melee style so not the Wolverine that we've seen all travel group play in 02:10:49.620 --> 02:10:53.780 the past but something that could maybe have some more pop-off potential. 02:10:53.780 --> 02:10:59.780 Alright, Teampeps, just gonna use the, the defaults to roll out I imagine, and then swap 02:10:59.780 --> 02:11:05.980 over onto the Mantis, that's gonna be the primary healer here, on the Lunar, the strategist 02:11:05.980 --> 02:11:11.340 is gonna make her a little bit more vulnerable to a dive from Shadowjuke and Kizaru, I wouldn't 02:11:11.340 --> 02:11:15.340 be surprised to see a swap over onto a White Fox when doing up against his David. 02:11:15.340 --> 02:11:21.700 And the folk from Sapotec, don't worry if he doesn't have Elsa, cuz Vanda's he deliver 02:11:21.700 --> 02:11:24.280 around that damage when it comes to the Phoenix. 02:11:24.280 --> 02:11:26.500 First, that presence here from IMLK. 02:11:26.500 --> 02:11:30.200 Look at these deadpool bubbles to maybe go back this, 02:11:30.200 --> 02:11:32.400 not like Blue Walls, you know, you section off some of this 02:11:32.400 --> 02:11:35.960 healing and have some staying power on this objective. 02:11:35.960 --> 02:11:39.200 First, you see Pulsar try to get this cap first, 02:11:39.200 --> 02:11:41.400 you know, Kazara who ring around the Rosie. 02:11:41.400 --> 02:11:42.960 You see who he can collapse on. 02:11:42.960 --> 02:11:44.440 No focus on these Vanguards, 02:11:44.440 --> 02:11:46.200 but over the pressure of this high ground, 02:11:46.200 --> 02:11:49.000 as Kazara goes in, oh my God, froze. 02:11:49.000 --> 02:11:50.720 Yeah, develop dangle here from Stafford to this wall, 02:11:50.720 --> 02:11:52.520 and something gets pushed out, you can see how low they are. 02:11:52.520 --> 02:11:56.800 They were trying to find a way to move off the back of that friendly arrival from his area. 02:11:56.800 --> 02:11:58.000 Now the coach is going, 02:11:58.000 --> 02:12:00.480 okay, any misses going to be severely punished here, 02:12:00.480 --> 02:12:02.880 because of a skill issue also being sent on out. 02:12:02.880 --> 02:12:05.680 It was updated, yes, but that one was easily managed. 02:12:05.680 --> 02:12:07.520 Out goes the skill issue on the other side. 02:12:07.520 --> 02:12:11.600 Try not to make sure that Pinch is going to be found in the stink right now. 02:12:11.600 --> 02:12:14.800 And Cranky Boxing, looking after the daredevil. 02:12:14.800 --> 02:12:18.800 One HP to play with the staff is good Cranky Boxing. 02:12:18.800 --> 02:12:26.800 Just gonna be able to keep this one because they throw a long time and they're dead, but we just can't stand up to the half-wind angel. 02:12:27.800 --> 02:12:39.800 Oh, Frankie Boxing can do a lot of work on this Angela. We'll get a 4k if you let him through, and he's bringing Hull the Sheep to a herd and to the firing squad of his own team. 02:12:39.800 --> 02:12:47.800 Frankie's as impactful as ever and could even bring the Venom as his passive gets activated, but hey, he has six getting activated. 02:12:47.800 --> 02:12:51.960 Oh, I'll probably tell us, in a bad position there, couldn't quite get the healing from six, 02:12:51.960 --> 02:12:56.280 and instead, focusing down on Tisatila. So, ChapaDoo moves in towards the back, 02:12:56.280 --> 02:12:59.480 wants that strategist, and has not lost track of them. 02:12:59.480 --> 02:13:03.400 30-6, both the full Pulsar eSports should be able to convert here, 02:13:03.400 --> 02:13:06.200 even to a capture, but boy, it's taking its time here. 02:13:07.400 --> 02:13:10.920 ChapaDoo, but Marty seems some better brawling with the rest of the team, 02:13:10.920 --> 02:13:17.640 be able to stay nice and close. Of course, Kuzaro be able to feast upon the start of 02:13:17.640 --> 02:13:23.960 this next fight. Hopefully getting an activation here from Frodo to get the Mantis resurgence 02:13:23.960 --> 02:13:30.280 to get some extra kick for Team Peps. Maybe just overwhelm Pulsar, but don't forget, of 02:13:30.280 --> 02:13:34.240 course, the Forge Ultimate will have the death toll kick things off. 02:13:47.640 --> 02:13:54.740 Once in on to the Jep for land-sharping D, that's some flash, broad-heeled shark meat right there, 02:13:54.740 --> 02:13:56.160 something that makes the ball on down. 02:13:56.160 --> 02:14:01.240 Team Peps, despite being caught with that early 3-person dive, were able to rebuff it quickly. 02:14:01.240 --> 02:14:06.360 Yeah, there was only two straps from the pull-star side, so when you have Pink being able to pick off, 02:14:06.360 --> 02:14:14.800 the Jep's so, so early, so little healing that's left, and then you only have so many cards in your deck for Gambit. 02:14:14.800 --> 02:14:17.520 so too much on Legend to carry through. 02:14:17.520 --> 02:14:21.160 Proto, great, soul resurgence, now being able to defend 02:14:21.160 --> 02:14:23.480 is gonna put this Angel in a fantastic position 02:14:23.480 --> 02:14:26.760 and maybe force Polestar's hand before they're ready, 02:14:26.760 --> 02:14:29.520 but Kizaru is already showing his hand 02:14:29.520 --> 02:14:31.360 being on the point for it. 02:14:31.360 --> 02:14:33.520 Kizaru has a little bit of attention, 02:14:33.520 --> 02:14:35.720 knows that the Deadpool's vision is of course 02:14:35.720 --> 02:14:37.520 based on movement and true match point, 02:14:37.520 --> 02:14:39.440 real low here, needs to get back to some manner of feeling. 02:14:39.440 --> 02:14:41.120 I'm seeing new Legenders from here, that one, 02:14:41.120 --> 02:14:42.600 gives a read going deep into the back, 02:14:42.600 --> 02:14:44.780 quick disengagement, a few over the ultimate charge, 02:14:44.780 --> 02:14:48.640 army to the gambit who still yet to get their first ultimate to come up the 02:14:48.640 --> 02:14:51.100 raging world flash could be everything but you want to do without 02:14:51.100 --> 02:14:54.860 sanity. Chambord is already been frozen. Oh, peeking down the pool! 02:14:54.860 --> 02:14:59.740 Oh, the gambit ultimate! This could be a huge amount of pulsar resources which 02:14:59.740 --> 02:15:03.380 probably getting anything done. Just after all of the rage of Ultron, yes, 02:15:03.380 --> 02:15:06.300 Kizuru is able to stick around longer to get bigger photos but can they get 02:15:06.300 --> 02:15:10.140 anything more than this? At least forcing something out of the London. Frankie 02:15:10.140 --> 02:15:14.020 Bolton needs to be high up in the sky to avoid being eaten and that's gonna be 02:15:14.020 --> 02:15:20.080 nothing grand off the back of its jet. The Devil's tag in towards the back and a nice little wavy world flushed 02:15:20.080 --> 02:15:25.320 to get away. Yes, Tre-Ran still remains with Team Pepper well in control. Saptic rolls in, 02:15:25.320 --> 02:15:30.000 River Phoenix and Frankie Boxing gets all fully close to it. Flies one of their wings, seems 02:15:30.000 --> 02:15:34.880 left temporarily taken to the ground. Now I can move in trying to keep this one contested. 02:15:34.880 --> 02:15:37.480 The old Chabagoo is going to be in best foot danger. 02:15:37.480 --> 02:15:42.640 Oh, almost Frankie able to deny that escape from the dare Devil and Team Pads. I mean, great 02:15:42.640 --> 02:15:48.000 Patience on the feet of both worlds extend this fight already at 90% plus. It's do or die for pulsar 02:15:56.120 --> 02:16:00.800 Listen to nasty masses today, and we haven't even seen level one crook blade just yet 02:16:00.800 --> 02:16:05.600 Savasic can't stand up to be a raid fire that was coming on through with the spike lapses of T-Lasses 02:16:05.600 --> 02:16:13.200 Floundering and flailing with thins in the air, the surrender is not accepted and only a casualty is found in its place. 02:16:13.200 --> 02:16:15.500 A portal opened for a quick re-contest. 02:16:15.500 --> 02:16:17.700 That's how the game's gonna be a lot more scantable for that. 02:16:17.700 --> 02:16:21.000 But they're debarking the portal, straight into a pyro prison. 02:16:21.000 --> 02:16:23.700 They're out of the frying pan and right into the fire! 02:16:23.700 --> 02:16:29.700 Seems like the last time is on a flash flight again and nothing can save them because Legend was too far away. 02:16:29.700 --> 02:16:30.900 Kids are up against the world. 02:16:30.900 --> 02:16:33.100 Oh, a quick ice fall on the tree man. 02:16:33.100 --> 02:16:33.900 Chill out, bro. 02:16:33.900 --> 02:16:37.660 So the round is over, Team Peps, take the first. 02:16:37.660 --> 02:16:43.540 His archess doesn't have a good target to dive, his day is being ruined. 02:16:43.540 --> 02:16:48.460 He's either getting frozen, he's getting slept, he's getting tackled by an Angela, 02:16:48.460 --> 02:16:52.380 you just can't get anything going with this, Fetum. 02:16:52.380 --> 02:16:55.940 And then Team Peps, the people that would be dabble-boller up in the air, and Pink is 02:16:55.940 --> 02:17:00.340 being completely ignored, able to rain it down on the only two strategies that Polestar 02:17:00.340 --> 02:17:06.340 have and Jeff needs to ideally be out of water in order to be impactful so you really can't get an 02:17:06.340 --> 02:17:11.860 umbrella against someone like pink but these are the type of key strategies that keep peps bring 02:17:11.860 --> 02:17:16.980 and why Celeste and Huck has been such a strong map for them initially so I think we'll start 02:17:16.980 --> 02:17:21.700 gonna have to rethink their vanguard approach because the CC from the strategist line from peps 02:17:21.700 --> 02:17:23.700 It's too good! 02:17:23.700 --> 02:17:25.700 Yeah, indeed they are going for a quick rethink. 02:17:25.700 --> 02:17:27.700 Looks like we're going to see... 02:17:27.700 --> 02:17:31.700 Like, TreeMan, obviously, in my name, does love the grutes. 02:17:31.700 --> 02:17:34.700 And let's all play over onto the Wolverine here. 02:17:34.700 --> 02:17:37.700 There is a world where maybe you're trying to get a fastball special team up, 02:17:37.700 --> 02:17:41.700 but in St. Kilsaroo knows that with Vanguard, they pull on the team. 02:17:41.700 --> 02:17:44.700 Or, at least, I've made it on the draft. 02:17:44.700 --> 02:17:47.700 It could be folly to leave it on the back first. 02:17:47.700 --> 02:17:52.700 So he was a good person to tackle. 02:17:52.700 --> 02:17:56.700 It's an easy choice and think about this high ground too. 02:17:56.700 --> 02:18:01.700 It can bring someone into your team and displace people from these power positions. 02:18:01.700 --> 02:18:04.700 That's going to be important, but six kicks things off. 02:18:04.700 --> 02:18:09.700 Okay, Raking World front, already thrown out here to the side of Polsar and here it is. 02:18:09.700 --> 02:18:13.700 Lapses of T-Laps on the best hero that they've got in Zell Wheelhouse. 02:18:13.700 --> 02:18:16.700 The Invisible Woman gets it done finding six. 02:18:16.700 --> 02:18:20.220 The forces can be really dangerous in the Ultraman to deal with as well as force physics, 02:18:20.220 --> 02:18:22.820 force, and lack of escape ability for Ultraman to be an issue. 02:18:24.620 --> 02:18:30.700 Hey, let the gambit through just to be sure Saboteur's not on the Yelsa and you're paying 02:18:30.700 --> 02:18:35.420 the ultimate prize and it's such a huge win condition for Polsar to be able to defend 02:18:35.420 --> 02:18:39.820 with the Groot is so massive along with a strangling prison and Treeman is looking for it. 02:18:40.420 --> 02:18:41.780 Oh, an early prison here. 02:18:41.780 --> 02:18:46.780 Oh, did you see them take the, I just want to pick the Magneto away so smart. 02:18:46.780 --> 02:18:50.780 The only counter play they had was blocking it with the Magneto's curtain, all the bubble, 02:18:50.780 --> 02:18:55.780 and so you instantly go in for the grab on the Magneto, and it's plain sailing for Treeman. 02:18:55.780 --> 02:18:59.780 I like the strategy, like you said, to get the only thing that could, uh, 02:18:59.780 --> 02:19:05.780 cancel or really defend against the Shrailing Prison, because that's the number one thing you got to look out for as a group player. 02:19:05.780 --> 02:19:08.780 Where are those Magneto bubbles? Where is the shield? 02:19:08.780 --> 02:19:14.660 and Pulsar are yet behind, halfway down to the cap, looking forward to seeing how Sapa 02:19:14.660 --> 02:19:18.460 taking El Chapo did really deliver some big damage and here's some picks. 02:19:18.460 --> 02:19:22.300 Oh, so it's gonna have trouble surviving this one, indeed the burst damage is too much to 02:19:22.300 --> 02:19:23.300 bear. 02:19:23.300 --> 02:19:27.180 Kira that may have been able to move over onto the White Pulse with that Spirit Sanctuary 02:19:27.180 --> 02:19:31.260 Shield that's gonna be instantly evaporated by the Phoenix Ultimate and this is the kind 02:19:31.260 --> 02:19:33.460 of initiative we expected from Pulsar. 02:19:33.460 --> 02:19:54.460 Of course, and they can just keep cycling their ultimates, they don't over invest, and if they need to back away, they'll have the invisible boundary to set up a safe base away from Team Pebs, and they're struggling themselves to Team Pebs speaking of to gather ultimates because they're just getting wiped before they can form a thought, and this will be their last hurrah for this round. 02:20:03.460 --> 02:20:08.900 ChoppaCoop is going absolutely goofy right now, and it's goofy goober time. 02:20:08.900 --> 02:20:11.060 I'm certainly ready, I don't know about you. 02:20:11.060 --> 02:20:14.380 Ready for round number three, because 97% is ticking on over. 02:20:14.380 --> 02:20:17.340 There's no chance for a teleport and pulsar e-sports. 02:20:17.340 --> 02:20:19.900 Strike back all the vengeance. 02:20:19.900 --> 02:20:23.580 It started with the gambit, then the strangling prison, 02:20:23.580 --> 02:20:28.860 then now ChoppaCoop coming alive on the Wolverine, proving that maybe the wolf 02:20:28.860 --> 02:20:31.580 could still live on in this meta. 02:20:31.580 --> 02:20:38.620 It's all about teamwork and execution, and Pulsar played the perfect round, but we decide here and now 02:20:38.620 --> 02:20:41.900 who will be taking the first map in this best of three. 02:20:41.900 --> 02:20:46.220 And Team Pebs don't have the strong of a win condition when you don't have the gambit. 02:20:46.220 --> 02:20:49.660 Of course, the rage of Ultron from Six had the initial good poke damage, 02:20:49.660 --> 02:20:54.540 but Pulsar surged ahead despite that completely disrespecting Six. 02:20:54.540 --> 02:20:59.660 And Pink is the one that's on Phoenix, where usually that's Six's recipe to success. 02:20:59.660 --> 02:21:04.180 So I love that pink has been stepping up as a huge carry for peps, 02:21:04.180 --> 02:21:06.660 especially from going to torch now on the phoenix. 02:21:06.940 --> 02:21:10.220 Look for how this end song is going to end this first fight 02:21:10.460 --> 02:21:15.580 because there's not only the gambit oil flush here for pulsar negate it. 02:21:16.420 --> 02:21:18.420 It's imperative that team peps from the first fight here. 02:21:19.300 --> 02:21:21.460 We're seeing in the last round just how bad it is 02:21:21.460 --> 02:21:24.540 when you're going up against a group in these tight spaces, these little canvans. 02:21:24.740 --> 02:21:26.300 However, it's going to be incredibly difficult. 02:21:26.300 --> 02:21:28.460 Raging oil flush is on the table. 02:21:28.460 --> 02:21:34.700 And this is a great round for Flyers, so look at 6 to make you have an even stronger impact in this one. 02:21:35.260 --> 02:21:38.460 Even Pink, if he'd want to return to the torch, I wouldn't even mind it. 02:21:38.460 --> 02:21:42.060 All depends on how this kicks off. The Royal Flush has Will and Sue. 02:21:42.460 --> 02:21:44.460 Alright, it is. Disengaging, although. 02:21:44.460 --> 02:21:49.160 Maybe this one could be answered. Pink gonna be using the Entomniu Furniture and stopping them in their tracks. 02:21:49.160 --> 02:21:54.860 Maybe it only lasts for 8 seconds. Now our Chabugus has lost their passive and lost even more so than that. 02:21:54.860 --> 02:21:56.860 The Polestar needs to be stopped before we can get the point. 02:21:56.860 --> 02:22:01.700 It's gonna be an early contest coming through from Frankie Boxing, this is of course always gonna be the job of the Angela. 02:22:01.700 --> 02:22:04.920 Six, your beam does not heal, I've gotta tell you that right now. 02:22:04.920 --> 02:22:12.340 You've just gotta focus that in on the enemies. Out comes a skill issue from, uh, I am okay, I believe, going over likely onto a gamut on the other side. 02:22:12.340 --> 02:22:18.300 It's easy to gun on through, and this is exactly what Team Peps needed, a great disengage play, we're gonna chase down that season. 02:22:18.300 --> 02:22:23.440 T-Las, unlike to get anything on the back side right here, although it will be a momentary stall from the group. 02:22:23.440 --> 02:22:26.700 This is gonna make things more difficult for this group to find value off the walls. 02:22:26.700 --> 02:22:39.700 And Frankie is having so many good walls, well not the girl walls, but great walls to pin people into when he's causing so much disruption, good coordination in that teampeps fight, and he does chop a goop to slow it down a bit. 02:22:39.700 --> 02:22:44.700 And he's actually gonna pee on the Neymar, so that'll be a different story than what he was trying to pull on the Wolverine. 02:22:44.700 --> 02:22:55.700 He's overextended into the cavern to save you from teampeps, not knowing what's on the other side. You can't front and back with Wolverine, but you can have more of a defensive posture with the Neymar trying to stop these Frankie guys. 02:23:25.700 --> 02:23:33.220 was good. It burns through the invisible boundary. That's the important part, right? 60% kept the 02:23:33.220 --> 02:23:39.860 point and destroyed Pulsar in their own invisible barrier. I like that call from Proto. Do not give 02:23:39.860 --> 02:23:45.460 up. Do not surrender. Pink versus SapaTik. Who is going to take the round and who is going to carry 02:23:45.460 --> 02:23:50.660 their team to victory? The fate of both worlds and fate in Peps's hands on how they want to get 02:23:50.660 --> 02:23:54.000 active this fight as Treeman looks below on the Angela. 02:23:54.000 --> 02:23:57.300 Treeman once again forced onto a different hero. 02:23:57.300 --> 02:23:59.180 The Angela is going to be the one to see here. 02:23:59.180 --> 02:24:02.220 You can see the El Chabagubes being accosted on their, 02:24:02.220 --> 02:24:04.100 on their leading port right here. 02:24:04.100 --> 02:24:06.300 Kizzer is just going to be exchanging battles. 02:24:06.300 --> 02:24:08.420 And it's going to be a really fast S rank achievement 02:24:08.420 --> 02:24:10.780 because they're off the back of the Ranging Royal Flush. 02:24:10.780 --> 02:24:12.220 Still the answer's solid. 02:24:12.220 --> 02:24:13.460 He's going to be lasting longer. 02:24:13.460 --> 02:24:16.420 They've got a four person stun from Sappetik. 02:24:16.420 --> 02:24:18.900 Absolutely nutsome mode over here. 02:24:18.900 --> 02:24:24.460 Quick double stab, Frankie Boxing is at least making their presence known on the point but the real fight is happening in the back line right now. 02:24:24.460 --> 02:24:30.660 But Dive's trying to get value, Frankie Boxing can't win at 2 vs 1 and Team Peps would get out relatively unscathed. 02:24:31.420 --> 02:24:42.180 And 0-100 is what Polsar have to do to salvage this map and Tremen realizing that off the groove, you just can't sustain pressure, you can't mitigate it as well. 02:24:42.180 --> 02:24:47.580 match fire with fire and match Frankie at his own game but he is the best in the 02:24:47.580 --> 02:24:51.180 business when it comes to Angela they don't call him Frankie Boxing for nothing 02:24:51.180 --> 02:24:52.700 but the devil is out. 02:24:52.700 --> 02:24:55.980 The devil is out but Pink says I'm gonna put that one back in cause 02:24:55.980 --> 02:25:01.500 he's gone too deep as well we're trying to support that one really wanted a hard commit 02:25:01.500 --> 02:25:05.340 Lapsie Sotilas back on the jet just trying to fill up additional survivability 02:25:05.340 --> 02:25:10.500 Pink needs to dodge away from the incoming fast because he's very very well managed here 02:25:10.500 --> 02:25:13.500 going in towards the back, loves baby back, finds her. 02:25:13.500 --> 02:25:14.940 And that leaves her with a lot of healings now 02:25:14.940 --> 02:25:15.980 off the table for Team Peps. 02:25:15.980 --> 02:25:18.780 Now, Chapa Goob has returned with a lot of Missile and Garnet's 02:25:18.780 --> 02:25:21.340 feasting time for El Chapa Goob. 02:25:21.340 --> 02:25:22.780 It's Jeff running to eat her, but you 02:25:22.780 --> 02:25:24.820 want to try to keep this one contested. 02:25:24.820 --> 02:25:26.780 So Team Peps, they're just going to call it. 02:25:26.780 --> 02:25:29.100 Yeah, Peps, you just need to stop reset here after Baby 02:25:29.100 --> 02:25:31.820 Vat and Pink have fallen, and Paul, sorry, 02:25:31.820 --> 02:25:32.980 I've invested enough. 02:25:32.980 --> 02:25:34.180 It's a good call from Team Peps. 02:25:34.180 --> 02:25:35.300 That is what's strong about them, 02:25:35.300 --> 02:25:37.340 that timing of their disengages. 02:25:37.340 --> 02:25:38.860 Because El Chapa Goob sometimes 02:25:38.860 --> 02:25:46.140 chases those those eliminations and that could be really punishable so peps this is just one fight for the end 02:25:46.860 --> 02:25:51.660 she's been over from pink tree man they're trying to drop him out of the sky but it's not full charge on the axis 02:25:51.660 --> 02:25:59.020 oh mrs. The Hotron but still does miss cabagou spinning to win and winnings on the cards right here kizzeroo has to try and stand alone 02:25:59.020 --> 02:26:07.180 but gets burned to a crisp the charge boils a beautiful flavor profile for pink and indeed they might be feasting tonight in the peps mansion 02:26:07.180 --> 02:26:10.940 As they will be able to get the cap here. It's going to be a last second recon test coming through 02:26:10.940 --> 02:26:12.700 from El Chabagoo with the pause real quick. 02:26:12.700 --> 02:26:15.740 Debarking on to a point in great cover off the back of it as well. 02:26:15.740 --> 02:26:18.060 But straight away Frankie Boxing is there to meet them. 02:26:18.060 --> 02:26:20.860 Drops down from the sky, extra outlaw and sundry. 02:26:20.860 --> 02:26:24.540 Protoss knows that this is the end. It's time to research in terms of souls. 02:26:24.540 --> 02:26:27.660 It's what it needs to get a little bit of additional ult charge here. 02:26:27.660 --> 02:26:29.260 They've gotten six of white on the edge. 02:26:29.260 --> 02:26:32.220 We've lost Protoss. It needs to be a cut from Team Pepsi now. 02:26:32.220 --> 02:26:35.820 Getting El Chabagoo into the middle of their team might be exactly what they needed. 02:26:35.820 --> 02:26:38.820 Host on a nowhere close to when the ult relaxes at T.L.A.S. 02:26:38.820 --> 02:26:42.320 He really has a chance to try and make this one work, but cranky boxing continues to land. 02:26:42.320 --> 02:26:45.320 Blow after blow, right hook into Africa. 02:26:45.320 --> 02:26:48.320 Swift as a butterfly and stinging like a bee. 02:26:48.320 --> 02:26:51.320 And in towards the back, it's Legend of Fields himself for sting. 02:26:51.320 --> 02:26:54.820 Pink going down into the vanguard, getting stuck in nice and close. 02:26:54.820 --> 02:26:58.820 Protoss comes with a quick return and with all of the ultimate's levy, 02:26:58.820 --> 02:27:01.820 Team Pet will be able to make this one happen. 02:27:01.820 --> 02:27:04.820 The first map Celesteal Husk will go their way. 02:27:04.820 --> 02:27:13.580 That was so winnable her pulsar at the end. Let me cope. They teleport in they actually zone pets off the point 02:27:13.580 --> 02:27:17.440 You have proto on the Mantis front-lining you had a pig on the strategist 02:27:22.180 --> 02:27:30.440 That close and of course pink as your MVP stepping up as that carry the torch the Phoenix the 02:27:30.440 --> 02:27:36.740 with the triple elimination that he got through Pulsar's invisible foundry. 02:27:36.740 --> 02:27:40.640 Like, it's not just the damage and the numbers, it's the impact. 02:27:40.640 --> 02:27:42.740 And that was felt in the server by Pink. 02:27:43.240 --> 02:27:48.740 Alright, good to see Paps finally getting rewarded for all the innovation and effort put in. 02:27:48.740 --> 02:27:52.240 Once again, Europe is seeing the pines of Mantis. 02:27:52.240 --> 02:27:55.040 We're seeing Gambit left on the table. 02:27:55.040 --> 02:28:00.220 Oh sir still locked away in the box even after losing 25 base HP 02:28:00.220 --> 02:28:04.440 I don't know how much our two first matches are going to be heartening things to come 02:28:04.440 --> 02:28:08.020 But as we come back from a week of sprints after the first week of preseason 02:28:08.020 --> 02:28:15.600 Hey teams felt you know what just image boost is kind of some serious business and it seems right now the meta is crystallizing towards 02:28:16.360 --> 02:28:18.360 Mantis gap and 02:28:18.360 --> 02:28:25.120 And Bulsar, it's just the decision-making too of just how far they wanted to reach in some of these fights 02:28:25.120 --> 02:28:29.560 because in that last round there's these very defensive patterns that exist. 02:28:29.560 --> 02:28:35.300 And apparently people like El Chapagoo and others, they try to sweep up the defenders from their safe leaving 02:28:35.300 --> 02:28:40.600 and force them into fights that they weren't ready for, but the punishing power from Peps 02:28:40.600 --> 02:28:47.240 is what took a lot of these fights that would give them to bad decision-making from the divers. 02:28:47.240 --> 02:28:54.240 but I like the swaps that Coulsard has brought, but perhaps had better execution and better pop-off power. 02:28:55.040 --> 02:29:00.240 I'm very impressed with Treeman as well, like the comeback-convict with all three combos. 02:29:00.240 --> 02:29:06.840 It's going to seem that we're going to want to watch out for in particular combos more in linear maps like a converted to a combo, 02:29:06.840 --> 02:29:08.640 which of course we're going to be able to go next. 02:29:08.640 --> 02:29:20.640 As it is going to be, the choice of wholesale and whether fine-sealing picks up like a midtown where the group can nearly excel in being either still path, or it will be able to find out what's chosen after this break. 02:32:08.640 --> 02:32:16.040 Welcome back everyone from that heater of a matchup. We've got to see Pink just 02:32:16.040 --> 02:32:21.120 electric on all the fire heroes. We saw the Phoenix, we saw the torch, and we saw 02:32:21.120 --> 02:32:26.640 them bring the heat throughout that first map on Celestial Husk. 20 final hits is 02:32:26.640 --> 02:32:30.760 insanity, but I think another stat line that kind of goes underrated is how 02:32:30.760 --> 02:32:35.960 involved Lemon, the entire team of Peps, was on getting those confirmations of 02:32:35.960 --> 02:32:39.240 the eliminations, which seemed to be a big difference between these two squads. 02:32:39.240 --> 02:32:43.360 And you got the best server in the business, Frankie Boxing, who comes and just serves it 02:32:43.360 --> 02:32:49.060 up to you on a platter as the Angelo II watch, and I think that's so strong on Celestial 02:32:49.060 --> 02:32:54.400 Husk, depending on what round, he's even more elusive than ever, and then someone like 02:32:54.400 --> 02:32:57.920 Tremaine had to match band for band and really suffered. 02:32:57.920 --> 02:32:59.680 At least you did get the swaps, right? 02:32:59.680 --> 02:33:04.160 You're not too stubborn, the crew was getting run over, but you just can't execute the 02:33:04.160 --> 02:33:10.160 Angel is the way that uh that spring you can then you had 21 deaths from the two vanguards 02:33:10.160 --> 02:33:15.200 on the pulsar side so it just shows you about a focus in the amount of damage that they were taking 02:33:15.200 --> 02:33:21.200 throughout these fights. So much sustain as well that we got to see from team peps just based on 02:33:21.200 --> 02:33:25.920 the composition that they were rocking and also having that mantis gap as we like to call it now 02:33:25.920 --> 02:33:30.480 leg day that seemed to be another big difference maker here in pulsar they had it available to them 02:33:30.480 --> 02:33:35.540 It wasn't even banned, but it just seems like maybe it doesn't fit into their composition or play styles was they would like 02:33:35.940 --> 02:33:42.160 Yeah, no one sided Mantis like I don't know if that's because maybe Sanctus a pro champion just doesn't play 02:33:42.840 --> 02:33:46.800 The Mantis like it is a little bit of a specialty aiming style 02:33:47.880 --> 02:33:52.520 Which takes a little bit of a whole lot of practice to be able to happen 02:33:52.520 --> 02:33:56.080 But like having that tertiary strategy is just ultimate is so important as well 02:33:56.080 --> 02:34:00.080 I think the real turning point of this entire match was when 02:34:00.480 --> 02:34:03.400 Everyone on pets followed the command of Protoss. 02:34:03.400 --> 02:34:09.240 Lemmon was telling us about how like they're down and well, it's invest or don't invest here. 02:34:09.240 --> 02:34:14.560 There's no right answer at the moment, but when Protoss makes the call, we're gonna go in with the Sol resurgence 02:34:14.560 --> 02:34:20.400 and they layer in on top of that the Ensong inferno as well to try and deal with the counter ultimate 02:34:20.400 --> 02:34:23.760 knowing that, hey, if I just load my Phoenix up with damage boost, because that's all she needs 02:34:23.760 --> 02:34:26.560 when I've got like all the healing pumping out from Sol resurgence, right? 02:34:26.560 --> 02:34:32.060 I'm just going to load her up with the damage boost seeds and maybe we'll be able to break our way through this invisible boundary. 02:34:32.060 --> 02:34:35.560 They're going to have to use us to take this point when we use our solar surgeons. 02:34:35.560 --> 02:34:42.560 Like everyone on Pets was on the same page with that and sometimes it's just clarity of vision, more than like strength of character, 02:34:42.560 --> 02:34:45.060 which really is going to be what wins the day. 02:34:45.060 --> 02:34:51.060 If they do come out on top, I'd be very interested to just ask them like who controls, you know, the comms on their team specifically, 02:34:51.060 --> 02:34:56.060 because it seemed like they had that unlock communication at the level that you need it to be. 02:34:56.060 --> 02:34:58.700 But, Lemon, we were kind of talking about potential maps 02:34:58.700 --> 02:35:00.700 that could have seen as the counter in Midtown. 02:35:00.700 --> 02:35:02.800 Seems a little bit surprising here. 02:35:02.800 --> 02:35:05.360 Yeah, just losing that first map. 02:35:05.360 --> 02:35:08.020 Usually they go to Museum of Contemplation, 02:35:08.020 --> 02:35:11.140 Spider Island Convoy, even a Rakko Convoy, 02:35:11.140 --> 02:35:12.980 but just haven't had the results 02:35:12.980 --> 02:35:14.720 that they would have hoped for. 02:35:14.720 --> 02:35:17.100 So Midtown, a really narrow alley. 02:35:17.100 --> 02:35:22.100 Maybe we could see the rise of Tree Man as the Tree Lord. 02:35:22.420 --> 02:35:25.860 Because Tree is really strong at this first section of the map 02:35:25.860 --> 02:35:28.000 because it's so narrow and get a lot more impact. 02:35:28.000 --> 02:35:31.320 We just had a lesson from Ducky about what that looks like. 02:35:31.320 --> 02:35:35.200 So I'm looking for Tree to own the Ducky persona. 02:35:35.200 --> 02:35:36.720 Yeah, maybe a little bit better, too. 02:35:36.720 --> 02:35:38.760 And there's like kind of cordoned off rooms 02:35:38.760 --> 02:35:40.700 from the play style that we like to witness 02:35:40.700 --> 02:35:43.080 from Al-Chaba-Goob with either the DD 02:35:43.080 --> 02:35:44.880 or the Wolverine as well. 02:35:44.880 --> 02:35:48.040 It seemed like because of how open-ended the last map was, 02:35:48.040 --> 02:35:49.720 they weren't able to get as much effectiveness 02:35:49.720 --> 02:35:51.200 in confirming some of those KO's. 02:35:51.200 --> 02:35:53.640 So could be a little bit better here for them. 02:35:53.640 --> 02:35:54.960 Also depends on composition. 02:35:54.960 --> 02:35:58.600 I think Triple Stratus works pretty well though for Team Peps, so they're kinda happy. 02:35:58.600 --> 02:36:03.760 Midtown is one of those maps that teams have scrimmed the most out of any convoy maps, 02:36:03.760 --> 02:36:10.120 so you gotta make sure you have the best strategy, the best kind of roster of heroes you can play 02:36:10.120 --> 02:36:11.120 going into this one. 02:36:11.120 --> 02:36:15.320 And I would say the big thing to focus on, the Mantis fan, if it doesn't come out and 02:36:15.320 --> 02:36:19.580 we see the immediate secure from Team Peps, well, you might see a similar story here like 02:36:19.580 --> 02:36:21.480 Dave that we did in the last map. 02:36:21.480 --> 02:36:24.120 Yeah, the Mantis story is definitely gonna be something. 02:36:24.120 --> 02:36:28.640 I do think that the Midtown pick makes sense when you consider a Vanguard matchup here, 02:36:28.640 --> 02:36:33.760 because this is great for group, which is TreeMan's primary, and it's also not a great map for Angela. 02:36:33.760 --> 02:36:38.520 Like, this is, this doesn't have the best Angela angles, and I think we're pointing, 02:36:38.520 --> 02:36:42.960 I think we could all agree that in the previous game, it definitely felt like Frankie Boxing 02:36:42.960 --> 02:36:47.040 was the more effective Angela player, not the better Angela player. 02:36:47.040 --> 02:36:52.960 I think maybe trying to constrain Frankie into a more terra-therma-bound Vanguard might be important. 02:36:52.960 --> 02:36:58.260 One thing to note here too, going into this matchup, Pulsar have opted for the attacking side to this go-around. 02:36:58.260 --> 02:37:02.460 So that's definitely important to pay attention to when it comes to the advance and protects, 02:37:02.460 --> 02:37:05.160 because they get that first protect, they can't get double banned. 02:37:05.160 --> 02:37:11.760 So we might see a focus on the gambit if it gets through, or even the elsa, depending on what the priority is, from Team Epsen. 02:37:11.760 --> 02:37:18.260 I feel like, based on this meta, we've seen so many more teams going towards sticking on the attacking side first, 02:37:18.260 --> 02:37:24.820 for the counter map instead of the defending side, but we'll see what happens. Team Peps, they did select that defending side. 02:37:24.820 --> 02:37:30.860 Pulsar will be attacking at this go-around and they're pretty happy about that. We'll see how it goes though for the ban on Protects here, Lemon. 02:37:32.860 --> 02:37:35.660 Alright, let's head on in. Map number two, Team Peps. 02:37:36.060 --> 02:37:40.560 For the first time in the pre-season, have themselves a series lead. 02:37:40.560 --> 02:37:45.360 This could be Pulsar Resports with the first ban here already, covering over on the Elsa, but the question is, 02:37:45.360 --> 02:37:49.640 Do you want to keep prioritizing this if you know that maybe it's going to be a mantis coming through over side? 02:37:49.640 --> 02:37:53.600 Yeah, of course. Keep Elsa in the box, but we'll keep her locked away for now. 02:37:54.280 --> 02:38:00.000 And Frankie's backup plan, since we're not expecting the Angela here, would be a Magneto. 02:38:00.000 --> 02:38:06.040 So really working in tandem with someone like IMLK, who's been superb on the Deadpool, the Groove, the Venom. 02:38:06.040 --> 02:38:11.280 Like, IMLK has shown a lot of flexibility, but I want to see a masterclass from this Vanguard lineup. 02:38:11.280 --> 02:38:16.820 Because I did feel like the Angelos setups were great, but what other looks can we see from patch going forward? 02:38:17.440 --> 02:38:19.200 All right, real question is here 02:38:19.200 --> 02:38:24.620 Well, is it once again going to be a protective the Mantis or are they gonna pivot on to Gambit because we know that 02:38:24.760 --> 02:38:31.720 Six here might be tempted to move over from the Ultron onto something like a Phoenix or even 02:38:31.720 --> 02:38:37.220 There's something like a Moon Knight which could really take advantage of the long sightlines that are over here on midtown 02:38:37.220 --> 02:38:41.860 So it makes sense to me it might go for a double strategist line with the gambit as the main healer 02:38:42.700 --> 02:38:50.020 I'm scared of Paul sir having another gambit game though because the one round they took with Celestial Husk that hundred to zero 02:38:50.100 --> 02:38:53.000 Was momentum driven by a gambit fight? 02:38:53.980 --> 02:38:57.740 Starter if you will so but you know this is not domination 02:38:57.740 --> 02:39:03.820 But that is such a huge part of getting wind in the sails and having a almost a guaranteed win condition 02:39:03.820 --> 02:39:10.380 But perhaps what was so good about the macro wise in that first map was how and when they disengaged and almost 02:39:10.540 --> 02:39:15.060 Forcing these errors out of pulsar and that greediness to chase those eliminations 02:39:15.300 --> 02:39:20.140 It's our world. I mean they protect the style all to you like gambit style of obviously one of the most deadly 02:39:20.140 --> 02:39:25.100 Out combos in the game and said looks like they are going sir, maybe for all hello 02:39:25.540 --> 02:39:30.060 The oracle that I read that you're cooking all the gambit style combo 02:39:30.060 --> 02:39:33.380 This demands a mag in response. I think 02:39:33.820 --> 02:39:40.380 with the MET or M, which could be ideal for trying to force Tree Man off of their better hero. 02:39:40.380 --> 02:39:46.460 I wouldn't mind seeing the Invis get counter banned here from Team Peps if Polestar take it away as well, 02:39:46.460 --> 02:39:55.820 just to try and get rid of the main ways you can try and stop the poke from Star Lord using that Guardian Shield to win out on the off angle fights. 02:39:55.820 --> 02:40:03.820 And six has shown us a little bit of Star Lord, but there are such large hero pools on the side of Peps when it comes to their duelists. 02:40:03.820 --> 02:40:10.820 And like I said, I've been very unique with sometimes bringing out the Psylocke and, like we said, the Torch. 02:40:10.820 --> 02:40:13.820 So you never know what you're going to get when you face Team Peps. 02:40:13.820 --> 02:40:19.820 But what other teams have realized is that you can still beat them at their own game because Peps have yet to win a series. 02:40:19.820 --> 02:40:25.260 series but they are on the verge of doing just that against Polsar and keeping themselves alive 02:40:25.260 --> 02:40:30.940 in the standings while Polsar are on elimination. So the curious thing here as well is that even 02:40:30.940 --> 02:40:35.980 without a protective mind of a side Mantis has once again made it through the band phase 02:40:35.980 --> 02:40:43.260 untouched. I like the taking away of the vanguard deadpool there, the skill issue. It will decimate 02:40:43.260 --> 02:40:47.260 a star lord due to his high rate of fire if he misses even a single bullet in the clip. Each one 02:40:47.260 --> 02:40:51.560 one of those counters are full on miss and does a bunch of damage to him. That's a great 02:40:51.560 --> 02:40:56.320 way to try and constrain, especially something like a Gambit as well, Skillish 1 Gambit if 02:40:56.320 --> 02:41:00.280 he misses one of his cards in the 3 card spread. That counts as a miss as well, so I think 02:41:00.280 --> 02:41:05.760 getting parity on the Vanguard pool is a good priority here for Team Peps. 02:41:05.760 --> 02:41:12.160 And just how many strats are we going to get? Now, strategies, strategists. Because that's 02:41:12.160 --> 02:41:18.600 made a huge difference for a team like Pulsar who run a lot of the 2-2-2 and things like 02:41:18.600 --> 02:41:19.600 that. 02:41:19.600 --> 02:41:23.840 But sometimes if you're on defense it warrants having something like a rocket or a third 02:41:23.840 --> 02:41:27.880 strategist just to be able to stall out as much as possible. 02:41:27.880 --> 02:41:31.480 So we'll focus on the defensive cons, they're more settled in on what they want to do and 02:41:31.480 --> 02:41:35.480 Baby Bat covering her choices here with the rocket and that BRB. 02:41:35.480 --> 02:41:39.960 You get a little bit of forgiveness especially if, I don't know, someone like Saptic headshots 02:41:39.960 --> 02:41:43.280 your back line. So it's always good to have a bandit. Yeah, 02:41:43.280 --> 02:41:45.400 everybody will be thinking going to be important as well as 02:41:45.400 --> 02:41:47.960 pink having access to that carnival as well. It's a 02:41:47.960 --> 02:41:50.480 possibility sports are going to have to very carefully manage 02:41:50.480 --> 02:41:53.640 both their space and their resource usage here to get 02:41:53.640 --> 02:41:56.040 effective fights and deal with the resurrections that could be 02:41:56.040 --> 02:42:02.840 on the table. Got the road again at the lovely couple hoping to 02:42:02.840 --> 02:42:07.360 break up the team peps frontline just got the mitts out 02:42:07.360 --> 02:42:14.440 ready to squabble up and peps can rely on Frankie and he's always known to have the perfect moment to strike and 02:42:14.440 --> 02:42:15.880 barely misses that show. 02:42:16.760 --> 02:42:20.180 Alright, getting involved now with the Actors of Eye course but let's stay down for long. 02:42:20.180 --> 02:42:23.100 Oh, just click, whack, with Kizaru as they roll on up. 02:42:23.100 --> 02:42:25.980 You know, just kiss her on the mouth. 02:42:27.480 --> 02:42:28.440 So many homies. 02:42:28.860 --> 02:42:34.640 So little time, but Polestar have sectioned up the fight and they have sent Kizaru to do the job for them. 02:42:34.640 --> 02:42:40.020 Alright, having that wall up behind the mix, things there, Redef got on Protoss, gonna be the first one to fall. 02:42:40.020 --> 02:42:43.160 Question is, is the battle vehicle being available? I don't think it is. 02:42:43.160 --> 02:42:47.620 And so everyone else from Team Pebs just has to force themselves onto the chart, 02:42:47.620 --> 02:42:49.620 to get his last minute Recon Z. 02:42:51.620 --> 02:42:55.620 You gotta be able to break those brute walls down and have a strong poke, and... 02:42:55.620 --> 02:43:01.320 I don't know if I would consider Team Pebs having the strongest poke when he got a triple vanguard, 02:43:01.320 --> 02:43:05.200 But what's nice about Rogue is that she doesn't care if anything you put her in a boxing match 02:43:05.200 --> 02:43:07.320 You put her in a boxing ring if you wall third 02:43:07.400 --> 02:43:13.960 She'll be happy to be trapped in there with you quick portal play as six rings the team back for a final flight 02:43:14.760 --> 02:43:17.040 All right, that's gonna be instantly broken down 02:43:17.040 --> 02:43:22.440 No one can really shoot the in song in the fur no sir try and save a bat's cause with yarn amplify 02:43:22.440 --> 02:43:26.960 If don't she hear from Pro Tools question is gonna have to see feel us get away with the it's Jeff peeling 02:43:26.960 --> 02:43:29.840 Susan, that's gonna be the case because those who would have assailed them are gonna be 02:43:30.560 --> 02:43:35.120 quite quickly taken down by Tree Man, who really is thriving here on the group and 02:43:35.120 --> 02:43:41.760 Pink couldn't even find any chance of using their own resurrection, so this is collapsed very quickly, but that's... 02:43:43.840 --> 02:43:49.520 The group also is so fantastic from Tree, and he's allowed to choose when and where the fight is 02:43:49.520 --> 02:43:56.480 going to take place. We'll catch your point, A, and they banged up so many ults to keep the rally going, 02:43:56.480 --> 02:44:06.480 mainly that strangling prison, but Pink keeps the fine at the right time in the right place for that Karmic Revival to give another chance at life and fighting here for teamfights. 02:44:06.480 --> 02:44:10.640 Ah, so it's needs a moment here, quick breath as we try and get access to that ultimate. 02:44:10.640 --> 02:44:14.400 All of the quick amplification, that's going to be the cleansing of the anti-heels on the other side, 02:44:14.400 --> 02:44:17.120 not sure where Treeman's ultimate has gone, like we're on the left-hand side of your screen, 02:44:17.120 --> 02:44:22.160 as we pan over towards it rather slowly, peek in the corner, brings up the karmic revival, 02:44:22.160 --> 02:44:26.480 Treeman has found them in the mix of all of this, and a couple more players are rolled off as well. 02:44:26.480 --> 02:44:30.720 The devil unleashed, looked back in, some might say, how shall we do, falling low, 02:44:30.720 --> 02:44:36.400 where this healing is going to be more than enough to try and deal with the onslaught brought on by Matthew Murdock himself. 02:44:36.400 --> 02:44:41.800 and Lapsid's Ocinus just wants to flee away, the thing gets broken down by Tors'meet clusters, 02:44:41.800 --> 02:44:44.660 and now it's gonna be an unassisted ult for 6. 02:44:44.660 --> 02:44:49.040 Alright, Dagger. This is just not a part of the map that you want to get stalled out on for Pulsar. 02:44:49.040 --> 02:44:51.480 It's that choke point that's so annoying to get through. 02:44:51.480 --> 02:44:57.880 Attacking with Groot is not easy as well, and Pulsar, they had good initiative, but it's the counter-action. 02:44:57.880 --> 02:45:02.680 The, uh, Raging Royal Flush and Pink into bringing back those two members 02:45:02.680 --> 02:45:06.200 is what kept team teps rather flawless towards the end. 02:45:06.200 --> 02:45:10.760 So, Pulsar eSports are gonna be harassed by this high ground poke. 02:45:10.760 --> 02:45:13.720 Dude, pink is a nasty aimer, and it looks like Six might be holding on. 02:45:13.720 --> 02:45:15.560 No, never mind. One sadistic real bad. 02:45:15.560 --> 02:45:17.160 If you see where she's not tapping to the sky there, 02:45:17.160 --> 02:45:21.560 but I am okay at just the right moment to make sure they could not get into cover. 02:45:22.280 --> 02:45:25.160 I said that White Fox is the only strategist who can 1v1, 02:45:25.160 --> 02:45:27.400 but they're double, never mind actually. 02:45:27.400 --> 02:45:29.800 If you're pink, I'm pretty sure you can do it. 02:45:29.800 --> 02:45:35.000 the strategies they defend, they heal, but they also attack, you man. If you're daredevil, 02:45:35.000 --> 02:45:40.120 can't even take a 1v1 against an atom, I fear it's so cool. Also, Peps are just getting 02:45:40.120 --> 02:45:44.440 picks from the high ground. Full-Star need a commanding way to pressure it, and here comes 02:45:44.440 --> 02:45:46.440 Kazaru, the force Peps back. 02:45:59.800 --> 02:46:03.740 And Frankie Boxing just gotta be punished for such audacious positioning now as they 02:46:03.740 --> 02:46:09.060 float it imperiously above it, all the Empire crumbles, like the Romans as the medieval times 02:46:09.060 --> 02:46:12.500 began to rise and IMLK's down too. 02:46:12.500 --> 02:46:17.660 And Kazar really solidified that fight, just you gotta get peps off that power position 02:46:17.660 --> 02:46:22.860 and it was a recipe for success and Polestar has been so important ultimates for this final 02:46:22.860 --> 02:46:25.860 fight of Point B, look for the strangling prison but they'll see what they'll get with 02:46:25.860 --> 02:46:26.860 this royal flush. 02:46:26.860 --> 02:46:29.860 Well, here that's not a good idea to play too much space yet. 02:46:29.860 --> 02:46:39.860 Oh, what a perfect bubble. Unbelievable stuff there from Frankie Boxing, making sure a Viva cannot be grabbed out of the ALE, a five-person usage of the Raging Royal Flush. 02:46:39.860 --> 02:46:42.860 Protoss getting maximum value from this one because I already thought they could shut it down. 02:46:42.860 --> 02:46:50.860 They could not be more incorrect about the value of the Feast of the Abyss, and our Pulsar Resports is going to be caught in a very nasty position. 02:46:50.860 --> 02:46:52.860 The end of second is so difficult to take. 02:46:52.860 --> 02:46:59.860 They are disengaging quite well from the raging royal flush from Proto, but Polsar would like to be able to clap back. 02:46:59.860 --> 02:47:05.860 It'll come down to Zapatik as El Chapagoub snows blood in the water, but he just needs to be careful. 02:47:05.860 --> 02:47:13.860 He needs help to deal with the strategies. He saw how Pink was able to fend for themselves, and that will be priority one to deny this Karmic revival. 02:47:13.860 --> 02:47:20.100 Okay, once again going to be easy pickings here for six everyone hiding away inside of the healing pool of 02:47:20.660 --> 02:47:24.940 The Jeff and Frankie boxing the ability to bother themselves nice doctors from a group on mostly 02:47:24.940 --> 02:47:28.860 I've just seen also any gravel around teams when I space that came out from the cloak and dagger 02:47:29.060 --> 02:47:33.220 That's gonna be off angle easily over the triad farm down being spanked out moving forward 02:47:33.220 --> 02:47:36.660 I think we've never got my court with a nice group ultimate 02:47:36.660 --> 02:47:43.580 And it seems that El Chabagoo once again has found the devil with in unleashing it and well the tendrils of evil 02:47:43.580 --> 02:47:47.740 They grab into the flesh of Team Pepsi and secure a second point. 02:47:47.740 --> 02:47:51.340 I like this tug of war that Fulsar is doing. 02:47:51.340 --> 02:47:57.340 They've really decided to balance the aggression that they almost had too much of on Celestial Husk 02:47:57.340 --> 02:47:59.980 and have been able to tilt the scales in their favor. 02:47:59.980 --> 02:48:03.500 Gotta be careful of these jet ultimates though because the groove can 02:48:03.500 --> 02:48:05.900 can mitigate it with a good iron wood wall. 02:48:05.900 --> 02:48:11.900 Frankie can bubble and Pink is on the prowl and is able to slow Fulsar down from the entry. 02:48:11.900 --> 02:48:15.900 They're in pink showing off some real versatility here, but, uh, 02:48:15.900 --> 02:48:18.900 caught in a dark alley against Matthew Murdoch. They're a... 02:48:18.900 --> 02:48:20.900 They're a much better place as to be than that. 02:48:23.900 --> 02:48:28.900 Oh, sorry, they just want to be able to punish Pink in the over-stand, but, 02:48:28.900 --> 02:48:29.900 because, are we hungry? 02:48:30.900 --> 02:48:32.900 Yeah, sounds pretty... already. By the Asuna Bomb. 02:48:32.900 --> 02:48:35.900 Coming out from there, backpink manages to find Treeman, and Teed and Low. 02:48:35.900 --> 02:48:38.900 The rest of his team disengaged, like, you know what, have the tree. 02:48:38.900 --> 02:48:40.900 Have the tree, but let me live. 02:48:41.900 --> 02:48:50.600 This is not a fun part of the map to try and break out of your own spawn, because the defense can see you leap spawn and poke you to your grave. 02:48:50.600 --> 02:48:57.700 And especially with the Venom, you need a little bit of higher ceilings than that, but the gambit will bail you out. 02:48:58.200 --> 02:49:00.300 Alright, Frankie Boxing, what do they do with Amici? 02:49:00.300 --> 02:49:03.700 You're like, oh, it's Rage of the Thieves! Unbelievable from Jabba Goop! 02:49:03.700 --> 02:49:06.800 This guy is cooking right now, however he's cooked on the other side. 02:49:06.800 --> 02:49:12.240 The extra damage from the raging world of flesh means you still can't stand up to it, but I'll pull the skill when I see it. 02:49:12.240 --> 02:49:15.560 Sixth round of disengage, Shappasix is absolutely not my son. 02:49:15.560 --> 02:49:17.360 I have no designs like that one. 02:49:17.360 --> 02:49:23.600 Looking into all sorts of strangeness, I'm supposed to get rid of that backline, giving as I am okay as fours in to just stop the cart momentarily. 02:49:24.080 --> 02:49:30.920 Could be a good point for an X-Jabble to make from left as you got that drop off at the back left side and the last 30 seconds to have a say. 02:49:30.920 --> 02:49:33.800 And Saphacic looks for an explosive start and doesn't get it. 02:49:33.800 --> 02:49:37.320 Unbelievable, more staff left as the TR's already taken on down Chabagoo. 02:49:37.320 --> 02:49:42.760 Can they get out of here? A righteous cross, a quick duck and weave, a hint accuracy is far too high for this. 02:49:42.760 --> 02:49:47.160 13 seconds remain and now you've got to start considering do we need to use a portal to get back on this? 02:49:47.160 --> 02:49:49.160 Tree man's time to give up so much space. 02:49:49.160 --> 02:49:55.560 The offline glint from Pink has been huge. Tree is getting farmed for every ounce of ult charge that they have. 02:49:55.560 --> 02:49:57.560 But Pulsar have got them weak. 02:49:57.560 --> 02:49:59.560 And that's going to be the balance of the butterflies. 02:49:59.560 --> 02:50:03.000 Oh, Chaba Goobies in it alone have to tank it all by themselves up above. 02:50:03.000 --> 02:50:07.000 We're gonna like Dick Legends, Celia, T-Lust, Celia's cannot live to even more than a second. 02:50:07.000 --> 02:50:11.080 As they're taken down by a frenzied arrival, the portable surely be too late. 02:50:11.080 --> 02:50:15.480 A stream man tries to set it up, and it's a midway through. 02:50:15.480 --> 02:50:19.880 You can see the Team Peps still have two charges, Ultimate's ready to go to try and defend that one. 02:50:19.880 --> 02:50:23.160 I think it was cooked either way for Polsar, but it's not unwinnable. 02:50:24.440 --> 02:50:26.920 The bank was healthy for Team Peps. 02:50:26.920 --> 02:50:31.720 The difference between the two feasts of Abyss that we saw between Kizaru and IMLK is that one had 02:50:31.720 --> 02:50:38.760 Joolis told to bits to pile on top, the other one got piled on. IMLK with the feasts, plus the 02:50:38.760 --> 02:50:43.320 dance of the butterflies and everything that was left, even the galactic legend just for the cherry 02:50:43.320 --> 02:50:50.200 on top. Teampeps had a great final stand, but could have been even, could have even stopped Pulsar 02:50:50.200 --> 02:50:55.240 at point B even. I think there was a real chance to make this an even shorter push, so this is very 02:50:55.240 --> 02:51:00.100 achievable for Polsar they fixed up a lot of their macro errors that they were 02:51:00.100 --> 02:51:05.560 making back on Celestial Husk and are not so antsy, so greedy. They really are 02:51:05.560 --> 02:51:10.800 working well as a team and El Chapagoo, despite not being flawless, he is getting 02:51:10.800 --> 02:51:14.600 more help on these dice towards the strategy slide and there's coordination 02:51:14.600 --> 02:51:19.280 around the Gambit Royal Flushes that Polsar are leaning towards those initial 02:51:19.280 --> 02:51:24.240 win conditions and help and using that as their approach mechanic so that they 02:51:24.240 --> 02:51:27.200 can actually set Alchop a group for success. 02:51:27.200 --> 02:51:34.480 Interestingly here, Teampeps are going to be able to walk out with Six and Protoss on 02:51:34.480 --> 02:51:37.560 both the Star Lord and the Gambit, so they are going to be able to sync up their ultimates 02:51:37.560 --> 02:51:38.720 a little bit better. 02:51:38.720 --> 02:51:44.160 They had Conspicuous Desync on the defense because of course Six started off on the Vanguard 02:51:44.160 --> 02:51:48.440 and so was unable to carry through an ult charge onto the Star Lord to really be able to sync 02:51:48.440 --> 02:51:51.720 up with Protoss all the time, but it still worked out. 02:51:51.720 --> 02:52:02.720 I wouldn't even mind the Wolverine because when there's a fight on the high ground, if you're able to split people up, bring them to the main street, that could really cause that first elimination to go through it. 02:52:02.720 --> 02:52:04.720 Oh, Six is sneaky with it. 02:52:21.720 --> 02:52:24.920 They want to try and get Chabagoo and get rid of that passive. 02:52:24.920 --> 02:52:28.120 Well, they may have been a rocket jump pack to try and choose something there. 02:52:28.120 --> 02:52:30.760 Well, Chabagoo only gives up their life to make it happen. 02:52:31.720 --> 02:52:35.320 Just gotta wait for everyone from Polestar to be alive for this portal play. 02:52:35.320 --> 02:52:37.720 You need all six to be available. 02:52:37.720 --> 02:52:39.560 Now Chabagoo's back on the Wolverine. 02:52:39.560 --> 02:52:43.240 Look out for these tackles and look out for Polestar's final stand here for point A. 02:52:44.680 --> 02:52:46.360 Eyes on Pro 2006 as well. 02:52:46.360 --> 02:52:50.120 That's gonna be a deadly ult combo if it can't be dealt with by Kizuru on the other side. 02:52:50.120 --> 02:52:54.120 Pink trying to disengage, but staying close to tree ramp can purely generate that fury. 02:52:54.120 --> 02:52:57.880 Right is cross off the right, just cross, but slows the thickened fast as well. 02:52:57.880 --> 02:53:00.120 Chaboboom on the other side, Pink moving in towards the back, 02:53:00.120 --> 02:53:04.720 but Dive is good, Kama get Lapsi's a T-Lash, or even get the Gambit that would be even better. 02:53:04.720 --> 02:53:08.720 But with no Sonic pursuit ready to go just yet, they're waiting for a second play. 02:53:08.720 --> 02:53:11.520 Here comes Six, ready to go. This is the old combo we were talking about, 02:53:11.520 --> 02:53:13.920 if only they want to use it, I think the Gambit's already been done. 02:53:13.920 --> 02:53:19.720 Three players are down, so Six just saves the ultimate, and it's going to be Gambit saving the day. 02:53:20.120 --> 02:53:23.060 Aphroto used it as soon as he earned it. 02:53:23.060 --> 02:53:25.840 They don't want to waste a precious second. 02:53:25.840 --> 02:53:28.440 They're able to save the rest of their ultimates 02:53:28.440 --> 02:53:29.480 for the marathon. 02:53:29.480 --> 02:53:31.240 This is now no longer a sprint. 02:53:31.240 --> 02:53:34.320 Momentum needs to be held here to see if you can have 02:53:34.320 --> 02:53:37.480 a better time bang for pointsy than Pulsar had. 02:53:37.480 --> 02:53:38.880 So I'd love to see some initiative. 02:53:38.880 --> 02:53:41.360 Team Pets are already in a position to do just that. 02:53:41.360 --> 02:53:43.840 They'll have Frankie on the front lines, 02:53:43.840 --> 02:53:47.080 but also because the daredevil from El Chapaglub 02:53:47.080 --> 02:53:48.600 is disrespecting Frankie. 02:53:48.600 --> 02:53:53.640 Using his batons to beat Freaky into his grave despite the shields being up. 02:54:09.080 --> 02:54:11.560 And that's why the initiative there was important from Team Pebs. 02:54:11.560 --> 02:54:17.720 You don't want to let Pulse or Pole the trigger on these ultimate, namely that Raging Oil Flush, 02:54:17.720 --> 02:54:22.040 but team peps they have a lot in the bank but they need to get this galactic legend 02:54:22.040 --> 02:54:27.080 into a position on the high ground so look for imlk for this large pulsar from this power 02:54:27.080 --> 02:54:31.640 position for six to really unleash but the invisible boundary could be a new set 02:54:31.640 --> 02:54:36.440 well this early gonna be combined with a these severe this and they that is forced to answer 02:54:36.440 --> 02:54:40.680 this one despite losing pink the eternal bunch of lots of space effects to try and work with 02:54:40.680 --> 02:54:44.840 on the bottom and now that the invisible boundaries brought up keep your eyes on six the second that 02:54:44.840 --> 02:54:48.520 That one goes down, so he's gonna have an option to try and make it happen. 02:54:48.520 --> 02:54:53.960 Poses us already down, Frankie Boxing drags on in by a strangling prison, 02:54:53.960 --> 02:54:57.160 and Tree Man decided that you know what, we need to have an inverse fight here and now. 02:54:57.880 --> 02:55:03.640 A huge Pick from El Chapagoob too, to shut down Six before he got a leash with that galactic legend. 02:55:03.640 --> 02:55:09.800 We were keeping our eyes and his vision faded to black, and just love, of course, 02:55:09.800 --> 02:55:14.100 the end song from Paul Sarge just to get kind of team peps on the edge of their 02:55:14.100 --> 02:55:18.460 seats to make them feel like they had to fight instead of maybe just take some 02:55:18.460 --> 02:55:23.860 cover as now team peps again no invisible boundaries just stop someone 02:55:23.860 --> 02:55:26.460 like six and he's got some royal flush with them. 02:55:26.460 --> 02:55:30.500 Okay, six should be decimated everyone right now. There's no real shields to make it happen. 02:55:30.500 --> 02:55:34.220 Pink's fighting the final blow. Of course this engagement is giving over so much 02:55:34.220 --> 02:55:38.420 space. I would love to get legend on the way out. That would give him even more time waiting for 02:55:38.420 --> 02:55:40.420 second strategist to respawn. 02:55:40.420 --> 02:55:44.660 I am okay and Pinker is syncing up so well and 02:55:44.660 --> 02:55:50.180 able to focus down these targets before they can replenish and get back to their strategist 02:55:50.180 --> 02:55:54.020 but the job's not done and we're not knowing there's a flanker back here. 02:55:54.020 --> 02:55:59.620 Guys, he's caught wallhack for a reason and Team Peps may just think about taking a 65 02:55:59.620 --> 02:56:04.020 fight before that flank really develops but Team Peps needs to make a decision fast. 02:56:04.020 --> 02:56:06.020 Okay, coming in from the back. 02:56:06.020 --> 02:56:13.460 Dolks and floats above it all up to some artists have instantly gone all of the strategists have evaporated under the pressure that Pink brings to this one. 02:56:13.460 --> 02:56:22.900 Tree Man can't deal with the double batons, the billy clubs, the bully clubs, it's bullying for certain, it's just a little floor colossus, you can't deal with all this damage. 02:56:22.900 --> 02:56:32.420 And it has to be legends coming back quickly with the portal. Someone else has to swap over onto a strategist here, maybe you can try and make it happen but no, instead they just reset the other way. 02:56:32.420 --> 02:56:40.180 Strong time bank going into the final push as well and team peps can pick off with the eternal bind 02:56:40.180 --> 02:56:45.580 Which really lays down the path to victory and poll star need to find a way to stop it 02:56:45.580 --> 02:56:51.540 Of course the raging royal flush has been a guaranteed fight for poll star every single time and lapses a waste in time 02:56:52.060 --> 02:56:56.380 And no time wasted right here instantly into war the back line here comes the Phoenix 02:56:56.380 --> 02:57:00.380 But it's a little bit shallow as to how can everyone hide inside for now. 02:57:00.380 --> 02:57:03.380 Frankie Boxing is going to be the only one to fall, but the rest of the team has to back off. 02:57:03.380 --> 02:57:05.380 And now Polcer can set up on this choke. 02:57:05.380 --> 02:57:10.380 And a spawn camp here is very possible when you're able to have a group that can wall people off 02:57:10.380 --> 02:57:12.380 and even strangling prison. 02:57:12.380 --> 02:57:15.380 But Baby Bat just needs to not get caught by that. 02:57:15.380 --> 02:57:20.380 But that eternal bond is not going to be effective when you're the raging royal flush and proto. 02:57:20.380 --> 02:57:24.380 Maybe once again, great grab on for six, but with damages too much, 02:57:24.380 --> 02:57:29.500 too much, the three man can't sustain through the extra damage that's given on over, it's 02:57:29.500 --> 02:57:34.780 the righteous cross after the righteous cross, he's so mobile, he's so difficult to dissuade 02:57:34.780 --> 02:57:35.780 from this one. 02:57:35.780 --> 02:57:40.140 And the entire time, Kisarush stopped the cart from moving forwards, nobody would ever 02:57:40.140 --> 02:57:41.140 fight. 02:57:41.140 --> 02:57:46.500 Good communication from Peps on these raging royal flushes, they break out a spawn and 02:57:46.500 --> 02:57:51.340 they make things swift, and they have more wind conditions in tow, and again that internal 02:57:51.340 --> 02:57:55.660 bond plus the galactic legend you don't have a strangling prison that you have to worry about 02:57:55.660 --> 02:57:59.180 you just need to command the squeeze that you have this is the this is for the win 02:58:01.340 --> 02:58:06.300 right here legend upper bar unable to convert here on to baby back keeps herself alive for now 02:58:06.300 --> 02:58:10.940 i'm all for bruce of the optimal target here seems like it's the only one that six can find he goes 02:58:10.940 --> 02:58:15.340 too far caught by a score bomb and six has gone too far as well what a poor coming through from 02:58:15.340 --> 02:58:20.460 legend midway is through that spin there was no way to try and cancel that one out and team pepsons 02:58:20.460 --> 02:58:22.460 was overextended and punished. 02:58:22.460 --> 02:58:27.820 That tree said you're trapped in here with me, bud, and that is a great way to deal with 02:58:27.820 --> 02:58:30.460 a melee brawler like the Daredevil. 02:58:30.460 --> 02:58:34.980 The hesitation from BabyBad on how to really carve out that path when there's so many group 02:58:34.980 --> 02:58:39.540 walls in your way, but surely this will be the fight to rule them all only a minute left 02:58:39.540 --> 02:58:41.340 though and this is still anyone's game. 02:58:41.340 --> 02:58:45.180 Shabby, an attempt at a mugging, but it's just gonna let the devil out in response, 02:58:45.180 --> 02:58:46.180 finding all who are near. 02:58:46.180 --> 02:58:50.620 save him baby that's also there when you shall remain safe counters coming on in 02:58:50.620 --> 02:58:55.020 everything is going to be deployed Frankie boxing above it all finds the 02:58:55.020 --> 02:58:59.620 legend stops the alt the healing is all gone with Sapata can tree man down now 02:58:59.620 --> 02:59:03.060 it's desperation to post up I think they're all out of options we don't 02:59:03.060 --> 02:59:06.740 have anyone who's gonna be up in time to try and get there quick contest 02:59:06.740 --> 02:59:10.420 lapses until us has an ultimate ready to go and might have used it just to get the 02:59:10.420 --> 02:59:14.300 additional movements we'd ever towards the point it's a race for a contest with 02:59:14.300 --> 02:59:21.180 three man moving through but they can't make it in time and team peps sweep the series peps 02:59:21.900 --> 02:59:27.580 is coordinating so well in those ultimates near the end the eternal bonnigan the invisible boundary 02:59:27.580 --> 02:59:32.300 but it's the teamwork that makes the dream work especially where that that box of victory that 02:59:32.300 --> 02:59:38.940 finish line was for team peps force uh post-sarring position uncomfortable position 02:59:38.940 --> 03:00:02.940 the closer you are, the more you are in reach to something like a Daredevil, which El Chapago vs Pink, I could watch that 1v1 all day, but only one stood out, and I would say Pink was, at least in terms of the final hits, the damage shell is a different story, but Pink, how he calculated with IMLP, is what decided a lot of these fights in the neutral. 03:00:02.940 --> 03:00:08.860 Yeah, it definitely felt like Pink and I am okay, we're a dynamic duo when it came to those dives. 03:00:08.860 --> 03:00:14.860 Obviously, T-Lesson and Zillage, they were consistently under assault lapses, more than over 10 casualties. 03:00:14.860 --> 03:00:21.500 We can bring Vaude back in here to see how he felt about that series, and we certainly are going to have plenty to talk about. 03:00:21.500 --> 03:00:25.500 Yeah, there is so much to yap about with this one, specifically Legday. 03:00:25.500 --> 03:00:30.940 I mean, the big difference, I would say, between these two teams in this final map was having the one-sided Star Lord. 03:00:30.940 --> 03:00:36.940 That is just, you can't allow it to happen, especially when there's a gambit on the field available to Team Peps. 03:00:36.940 --> 03:00:43.940 And Team Peps seemed to just have the composition locked down, so congrats to them for getting their first win, of course, keeping the dream alive, 03:00:43.940 --> 03:00:45.940 for making it in to that group stage. 03:00:45.940 --> 03:00:49.940 And unfortunately, for a Pulse start talking about that, they won't be making it into the group stage. 03:00:49.940 --> 03:00:54.940 Them going 0-4 now, cements them to be it towards the bottom two in the standings. 03:00:54.940 --> 03:00:59.940 They can still kind of play spoiler in their last series, but talking more about this matchup, I mean, six looked amazing. 03:00:59.940 --> 03:01:05.060 amazing. Pink, we got to talk about the flexibility of this player, like having the Daredevil and 03:01:05.060 --> 03:01:09.620 the Phoenix on lock that we saw from the last map into this one. How many players can say that they 03:01:09.620 --> 03:01:14.900 can do that? Yeah, I agree. And even the Forge was the secret MVP in that first map. Like, I was 03:01:14.900 --> 03:01:20.180 surprised. I think it was the one that was like that ultimate carry because a lot of times it was 03:01:20.180 --> 03:01:25.140 six that you invest all these openings into. And I think on the other side, there was a lot of 03:01:25.140 --> 03:01:28.340 focusing to trying to become six from really developing, 03:01:28.340 --> 03:01:31.780 whether it's shutting them down before the Galactic Division, or whatever it was, 03:01:31.780 --> 03:01:34.500 Pete literally showed up on the Daredevil play. 03:01:34.500 --> 03:01:37.220 Yeah, the Daredevil play definitely making a huge difference here, 03:01:37.220 --> 03:01:40.980 but of course it's a full team effort that we saw from the squad, 03:01:40.980 --> 03:01:42.900 and both the duelists, the back line, 03:01:42.900 --> 03:01:47.540 keeping them sustained through all of the damage that was being dealt out by Pulsar. 03:01:47.540 --> 03:01:51.700 And Pulsar, to their credit, they were putting some good pressure against Team Pepsi, 03:01:51.700 --> 03:01:53.860 almost went all the way to that final point. 03:01:53.860 --> 03:01:56.780 Unfortunately, like they could not secure it there at the end. 03:01:57.620 --> 03:01:59.380 Yeah, not being able to make it happen at the end. 03:01:59.380 --> 03:02:02.180 I think that pink being able to play on the dead level is well 03:02:02.180 --> 03:02:04.220 allowed for a much greater flight planning because, you know, 03:02:04.220 --> 03:02:07.820 the chabagoo is always going to be lurking like upon a wall or behind. 03:02:07.820 --> 03:02:11.740 So maybe behind some crates somewhere under a cardboard box, perhaps, 03:02:11.740 --> 03:02:15.980 if you want to emulate a different game and having that perfect information 03:02:15.980 --> 03:02:17.820 about where chabagoo is going to be coming from. 03:02:17.820 --> 03:02:22.220 I think was a huge boon for team peps and how they started to plan all of these fights. 03:02:22.220 --> 03:02:24.320 And I think in the end, better planning and economy 03:02:24.320 --> 03:02:26.560 is what allowed them to make it all the way towards the end. 03:02:26.560 --> 03:02:29.060 Even while losing some pretty critical fights, 03:02:29.060 --> 03:02:32.240 like losing control of the Times Square Station, 03:02:32.240 --> 03:02:34.640 midway through, I was like, okay, they might be cooked here. 03:02:34.640 --> 03:02:36.800 This is a very difficult area to siege. 03:02:36.800 --> 03:02:38.720 But maybe that makes some great choices 03:02:38.720 --> 03:02:40.600 with the eternal bond. 03:02:40.600 --> 03:02:43.000 But I think we're crucial for being able to claim space. 03:02:43.000 --> 03:02:45.440 She was really making sure that that ultimate 03:02:45.440 --> 03:02:46.280 was always getting value. 03:02:46.280 --> 03:02:49.240 As well as calling for good heal from Frankie. 03:02:49.240 --> 03:02:53.400 We saw a bubble from Frankie onto BabyBat, completely no server, 03:02:53.400 --> 03:02:57.200 TreeMan Ultimate, who was hoping to just drag BabyBat out of her old AOE 03:02:57.200 --> 03:03:00.960 and cancel that in the moment while she's rooted outside of it. 03:03:00.960 --> 03:03:02.560 But great notification. 03:03:02.960 --> 03:03:06.520 Yeah. And BabyBat just also taking the time to not feel rushed 03:03:06.520 --> 03:03:08.520 with those eternal bonds towards the end. 03:03:08.520 --> 03:03:11.520 And they had the time, they had, what, three minutes for that final, 03:03:12.080 --> 03:03:14.240 that final point. So that was really great. 03:03:14.440 --> 03:03:16.640 But just to point out that Team Peps also kind of made some 03:03:16.640 --> 03:03:20.680 compositional changes and not in terms of food but more of the player that was 03:03:20.680 --> 03:03:24.560 actually on the hero because a lot of the times it was six that usually plays the 03:03:24.560 --> 03:03:28.280 Phoenix, the Star-Lord with the Gambit and things like that but today was more of 03:03:28.280 --> 03:03:32.120 pink stepping up being on the Daredevil even playing some of the Star-Lord 03:03:32.120 --> 03:03:36.320 himself. All the six ended up on the Star-Lord here today. It was cool to just 03:03:36.320 --> 03:03:40.400 kind of see how they were working around the sometimes limited hero pools and how 03:03:40.400 --> 03:03:43.440 they're able to bring their strengths on the split. I think that's a great thing 03:03:43.440 --> 03:03:47.560 about this pre-season right. It gives teams time to find their strengths, figure out their 03:03:47.560 --> 03:03:51.840 rhythm throughout the pre-season, and then going into stage one. It will be a little 03:03:51.840 --> 03:03:55.400 bit different of course to remind everyone they'll be on the next patch, so they'll be 03:03:55.400 --> 03:03:59.140 two different heroes that will have the new map, but aside from that you can kind of figure 03:03:59.140 --> 03:04:03.360 out the synergy between your team members, and that's the big thing for these players. 03:04:03.360 --> 03:04:07.320 Kind of similar to the evitational that we had earlier on, and now we get to see the 03:04:07.320 --> 03:04:12.320 actual pre-season action leading into that first stage that'll happen in May, but Pulsar 03:04:12.320 --> 03:04:15.160 Again, even though they're out of the running for the playoffs, 03:04:15.160 --> 03:04:17.200 they still have one more match to go for them. 03:04:17.200 --> 03:04:20.680 So something to look forward to for them to learn from, 03:04:20.680 --> 03:04:21.520 take that experience. 03:04:21.520 --> 03:04:23.560 The playing gets Navi and that one tomorrow. 03:04:23.560 --> 03:04:25.960 So best of luck to them in that series. 03:04:25.960 --> 03:04:28.800 But I feel like they've continued to look a little stronger 03:04:28.800 --> 03:04:30.840 and stronger here like that. 03:04:30.840 --> 03:04:34.880 Yeah, like, I think Team Pebs are at least looking great. 03:04:34.880 --> 03:04:38.360 My understanding right here, Team Pebs, 03:04:38.360 --> 03:04:40.760 I'm actually newly enthused about this team. 03:04:40.760 --> 03:04:45.760 Like, there was a spark of hope when, against Na'Vi, they had a very good Celestial Haas. 03:04:45.760 --> 03:04:56.760 Uh, I- I- Like, Polsar, we saw them take that map off of Altar and Slaman earlier, but I think that, uh, that may have been more down to Altar having some jitters. 03:04:56.760 --> 03:05:01.760 Uh, Team Peps, uh, like, I was very happy with everything I saw today. 03:05:01.760 --> 03:05:05.760 I think that it was actually very well managed in terms of the gameplay. 03:05:05.760 --> 03:05:07.760 And then we got something to Frankie about how that happened. 03:05:07.760 --> 03:05:11.260 That's true. Welcome in, Frankie. The Angela Goats. 03:05:11.260 --> 03:05:13.260 And that's actually what I'm going to ask you about. 03:05:13.260 --> 03:05:17.260 Some teams, it seems like struggle to face off against you in disguise. 03:05:17.260 --> 03:05:20.260 How do you keep it locked down as well as you did on Celestial Husk? 03:05:21.260 --> 03:05:23.760 Oh, I really just try to protect my team. 03:05:23.760 --> 03:05:26.260 Like, I'm just flying around, being annoying. 03:05:26.260 --> 03:05:30.760 And if I hear my support's being dived, I, like, try to go ahead, 03:05:30.760 --> 03:05:34.260 press my E and just help them out, you know? 03:05:34.260 --> 03:05:39.860 Marking the DT also, like, oh my god, first map I was marking the DT per mark. 03:05:39.860 --> 03:05:42.580 That's all I got to do. 03:05:42.580 --> 03:05:43.580 That's the way to go. 03:05:43.580 --> 03:05:46.300 Yeah, that was an awesome excellent marking. 03:05:46.300 --> 03:05:50.780 A second map of Celestial House didn't go quite so well. 03:05:50.780 --> 03:05:55.100 What adjustments did you make between the second and the third map, to have you so dominant 03:05:55.100 --> 03:05:57.460 coming back on the next one? 03:05:57.460 --> 03:06:06.960 Oh, I mean, matter of fact, it's like I just don't think the torch comp was really viable in the second round there. 03:06:06.960 --> 03:06:10.360 Like, we just couldn't play the triple support with all drones away. 03:06:10.360 --> 03:06:17.460 We weren't really sure at the time what we should play, so we kind of just were a little bit, you know, everywhere with it. 03:06:17.460 --> 03:06:23.160 But we just locked in back on the off-junk comp for the third map, and, yeah, we got it. 03:06:23.160 --> 03:06:28.320 Yeah, you did and it was so fun to watch you on Angela. 03:06:28.320 --> 03:06:32.560 I'm so curious about the work that you've done to expand your hero pool and where is 03:06:32.560 --> 03:06:36.800 your confidence at with things that are not Angela because I know you guys got domination 03:06:36.800 --> 03:06:41.440 on Locke if you're on Angela, but how do you feel on other heroes these days? 03:06:41.440 --> 03:06:45.040 Oh, I mean, I just really like my shield tanks. 03:06:45.040 --> 03:06:46.040 I don't know. 03:06:46.040 --> 03:06:52.560 Like I just like to be there for it to help the team, you know, just to be a support to 03:06:52.560 --> 03:07:08.560 Yeah, I mean, with other bad characters, I'd say in Noko, I don't really want to play other bad characters in Angela. I just want my Angela. I love her. I had so much fun on her. My grabs, they're so satisfying. 03:07:08.560 --> 03:07:21.560 Oh yeah, now she's a really fun here to play, like these essence charges, amazing for that, and you're so proficient with those as well. Looking ahead though, now that you've got your teams, first win in the running now for the playoffs and looking towards those other bad characters. 03:07:21.560 --> 03:07:24.040 looking towards those last two series that you play. 03:07:24.040 --> 03:07:27.520 Shiki Gami, and then afterwards you're playing Alter E-Sports. 03:07:27.520 --> 03:07:29.240 What's the prep look like for you guys? 03:07:29.240 --> 03:07:31.720 Do you kind of reverse sweep your group stage 03:07:31.720 --> 03:07:34.440 and make that moment yours? 03:07:34.440 --> 03:07:37.000 I mean, I just, I trust my team. 03:07:37.000 --> 03:07:40.720 I trust that we're gonna just play to our strengths. 03:07:40.720 --> 03:07:43.760 We go ahead and think about other teams that much. 03:07:43.760 --> 03:07:47.760 We just do what we do, and I think it's gonna work out. 03:07:47.760 --> 03:07:51.440 We're working out pretty well so far. 03:07:51.440 --> 03:07:54.000 Well, thank you, Frankie Boxing, for joining us. 03:07:54.000 --> 03:07:56.240 We're not going to take up too much more of your time. 03:07:56.240 --> 03:07:58.520 We'll see you on the flip side tomorrow. 03:07:58.520 --> 03:07:59.520 Thank you, thank you. 03:08:03.720 --> 03:08:06.880 That was the Angela Goat himself, Frankie Boxing. 03:08:06.880 --> 03:08:08.040 And I respect it. 03:08:08.040 --> 03:08:10.200 It's so fun to have that aerial superiority 03:08:10.200 --> 03:08:11.240 against the other team. 03:08:11.240 --> 03:08:14.200 I'm a Vanguard main myself, so it's a lot of fun 03:08:14.200 --> 03:08:15.720 and really proficient on it. 03:08:15.720 --> 03:08:20.840 exactly what we see on Celestial Husk every time so I don't know maybe we need to see some uh some 03:08:20.840 --> 03:08:26.040 bands or something like that but uh Lemon I mean they have a lot of potential for their last series 03:08:26.040 --> 03:08:30.760 that are coming up this weekend yeah and these next matches that they have are super winnable 03:08:30.760 --> 03:08:36.200 whether it gets alter or shakigami I think the shiki one is going to be the toughest one you 03:08:36.200 --> 03:08:41.000 know Frankie doesn't need to die when he's got imlk on the bed so I love that this team has a lot 03:08:41.000 --> 03:08:45.160 a lot of trust in each other, because that's what's going to survive at the end of the day. 03:08:45.160 --> 03:08:48.680 Well, we do have more matches to go after this one. 03:08:48.680 --> 03:08:51.640 The next one on the docket is the Battle of VP names. 03:08:51.640 --> 03:08:53.640 A vision versus a Virtus.Pro. 03:08:53.640 --> 03:08:54.640 You don't want to miss it. 03:08:54.640 --> 03:08:56.440 Two undefeated teams after this. 03:09:11.000 --> 03:09:25.000 I remember the dusk, the lights have been tightly chopping all those fighting souls, buddy 03:09:25.000 --> 03:09:29.000 Across the world I see you standing in my way 03:09:29.000 --> 03:09:33.000 I remember the time, the place we used to fight 03:09:33.000 --> 03:09:36.000 When the sun and moon and time wandered 03:09:36.000 --> 03:09:40.000 Seven and one is a ten and we were cramped 03:09:40.000 --> 03:09:43.000 Night has fallen, shadows moving and heaps 03:09:43.000 --> 03:09:46.000 Death has come for me to secure out 03:09:46.000 --> 03:09:49.000 We all extend our word, last reunion break 03:09:49.000 --> 03:09:52.000 The chance has gotten to where you come from with me 03:09:53.000 --> 03:09:56.000 Do you remember who you really are? 03:09:56.000 --> 03:09:59.000 Show me that you are still the only one for me 03:09:59.000 --> 03:10:01.000 Only waiting for you 03:10:01.000 --> 03:10:08.000 Play the game again, the angels rise, we think of the essence smashed in those wild holes 03:10:08.000 --> 03:10:13.000 Before the risk turns again, we are level to the end 03:10:13.000 --> 03:10:17.000 I think my mind's all mine, hold onto your powers now 03:10:17.000 --> 03:10:22.000 It can't stop us, we are rival to the end of time 03:10:22.000 --> 03:10:29.000 Play the flash, you're wild aware, we'll fight, fishing across time's face 03:10:29.000 --> 03:10:31.000 To the world of mine 03:10:31.000 --> 03:10:33.000 There's an edge in the air 03:10:44.000 --> 03:10:47.000 You see the dawn, the flame, burning brightly 03:10:47.000 --> 03:10:50.000 Shining one nose, then the breeze, and the earth 03:10:50.000 --> 03:10:54.000 Across our time, I see you turning the sides 03:10:54.000 --> 03:10:58.000 And do you see now?

They've destroyed a baby short. They have explored different lines of whether 03:19:41.880 --> 03:19:46.360 it's the atom and even a double or triple strategist line. So it's really cool to see 03:19:46.360 --> 03:19:51.080 what compositions vision come out with. They also prioritize protecting the Elsa as much 03:19:51.080 --> 03:19:55.920 as they can for someone like Xerx who has really impressed me on the dualists and not 03:19:55.920 --> 03:20:00.000 even showing favoritism to something like Loki which feels like every team plays Loki 03:20:00.000 --> 03:20:01.500 if they can. 03:20:01.500 --> 03:20:05.360 So I think this team vision has surprised a lot of people based on the results they had 03:20:05.360 --> 03:20:06.360 in the game. 03:20:06.360 --> 03:20:11.260 That is the case, but they've relatively had an easier schedule some could say compared 03:20:11.260 --> 03:20:12.260 to the rest. 03:20:12.260 --> 03:20:13.260 Now they're going to the Gatlin. 03:20:13.260 --> 03:20:15.160 They're facing off against the World Champion to your leg day. 03:20:15.160 --> 03:20:19.020 I mean, there's so much to expect from this Virtus.Pro team, but it feels like this meta 03:20:19.020 --> 03:20:21.020 What was purpose built for them almost? 03:20:21.020 --> 03:20:27.020 I mean like we've seen a lot of Daredevil, a good hit scan is everything and the Swarovski 03:20:27.020 --> 03:20:32.060 I'm aware Spark is still number one in the world baby, the Grand Finals MVP yet to really 03:20:32.060 --> 03:20:36.460 be topped when it comes to being a top tier dual list iron. 03:20:36.460 --> 03:20:41.100 Like you said Virtus Pro, they're silver champs, they haven't really made any changes in the 03:20:41.100 --> 03:20:45.380 off season, they hibernated for a while, didn't play in any officials, didn't play in any 03:20:45.380 --> 03:20:46.380 of the tournaments. 03:20:46.380 --> 03:20:47.380 Look at the vacation. 03:20:47.380 --> 03:20:52.420 like they managed like the worker burn out, you know, you're like, okay, we want it all. 03:20:52.420 --> 03:20:56.180 We don't need to prove ourselves right now. We're just we're going to hibernate like bears 03:20:56.180 --> 03:21:02.020 and then we'll awaken in the spring ready to hunt anew. Yeah, and they actually had some close 03:21:02.020 --> 03:21:08.660 matches last week. If I dare to say there was a round up between them and reason gaming on hell's 03:21:08.660 --> 03:21:14.020 heaven domination where's 199 and that could have really gone the distance. But like you said, 03:21:14.020 --> 03:21:19.460 vacation or not, they did not sleep. They have been on the grind and they got coach Eqo who was 03:21:19.460 --> 03:21:24.980 just a veteran like the rest of the old heads on this team and you have that kind of player 03:21:24.980 --> 03:21:30.260 perspective that can really elevate Bergus Bro and they've been all friends for so many years 03:21:30.260 --> 03:21:35.620 beyond even Marvel Rivals that you can't deny the chemistry this team has to. Definitely the longest 03:21:35.620 --> 03:21:41.140 standing roster in Marvel Rivals esports history and continuing to go that way. If it ain't broke 03:21:41.140 --> 03:21:46.340 you don't need to fix it and that's what the motto seems to be for this Virtus Pro team, 03:21:46.340 --> 03:21:50.100 but looking on the other side of things, Vision Esport, again, they had some players that came 03:21:50.100 --> 03:21:56.020 from groundfall, they became the Lions in MRC and then were picked up post-HACE into the 03:21:56.020 --> 03:22:01.060 guest slot that they earned themselves for Vision Esport and now they're trying to show the world 03:22:01.060 --> 03:22:04.740 that they are a team to not be underestimated and even on the prediction side of things, 03:22:04.740 --> 03:22:08.500 we saw I think it was somewhere around like 20% of people were thinking they had potential to be 03:22:08.500 --> 03:22:13.140 the top of their group and it proves everyone right so far, I mean 2-0 to start things off. 03:22:13.140 --> 03:22:18.420 A little bit of a struggle against Crownfall, but they are going up against the behemoths 03:22:18.420 --> 03:22:23.780 that are Virtus Pro rocking the jerseys and all the swagger that you could expect from the world 03:22:23.780 --> 03:22:30.020 at Champions here. Like Day, this is a team that's yet to see really struggle too much in any of 03:22:30.020 --> 03:22:36.820 these maps. Yeah, like I had my spark of glaze ready, but honestly I said spark is the best 03:22:36.820 --> 03:22:40.160 the best player in the world. 03:22:40.160 --> 03:22:42.160 Cypher. For my money might be 03:22:42.160 --> 03:22:44.760 the best player in the world. 03:22:44.760 --> 03:22:46.400 Cypher is kind of unparalleled 03:22:46.400 --> 03:22:47.900 when it comes to experimentation 03:22:47.900 --> 03:22:49.240 with new strategist and 03:22:49.240 --> 03:22:50.440 expecting big things from 03:22:50.440 --> 03:22:52.200 potentially a white fox play 03:22:52.200 --> 03:22:54.980 here as Cypher is a brought 03:22:54.980 --> 03:22:56.640 likely the one to pick that up 03:22:56.640 --> 03:22:57.840 on this roster, and I'd love to 03:22:57.840 --> 03:22:58.840 see them get a little bit more 03:22:58.840 --> 03:22:59.840 experimental number playing on 03:22:59.840 --> 03:23:01.840 the hot things with her buffs. 03:23:01.840 --> 03:23:02.840 Yeah, not even playing the white 03:23:02.840 --> 03:23:04.840 fox with a venom like they 03:23:04.840 --> 03:23:13.100 So it's VP are so ban proof because they could literally play anything from 3-3 to 3-1-2 to 2-1-3 like all the numbers 03:23:13.240 --> 03:23:19.940 But vision I've really surprised us at least for me, especially with that win over crownfall 03:23:20.200 --> 03:23:26.520 They definitely are climbing in the power rankings and I look towards Gainer as a dead pool player in my opinion 03:23:26.520 --> 03:23:30.920 At least the ban pool because he puts out just as much damage as a duelist if not more 03:23:30.920 --> 03:23:32.920 So my eyes are on Gainer for this match. 03:23:32.920 --> 03:23:35.320 Gainer, definitely the sneak pickup for this team. 03:23:35.320 --> 03:23:39.220 And I think a big question mark that a lot of people had going into the Ignite preseason 03:23:39.220 --> 03:23:45.280 was how team vision would build themselves back up after we saw them have to say goodbye 03:23:45.280 --> 03:23:48.160 to three of their players due to the age limits for Ignite. 03:23:48.160 --> 03:23:51.880 So they've still rebuilt around this roster, looked really solid and are saying they're 03:23:51.880 --> 03:23:54.800 getting prepared for future stages based on that as well. 03:23:54.800 --> 03:23:57.720 But Cracow, we go to just kick things off again. 03:23:57.720 --> 03:24:00.240 This is kind of a fan favorite for a lot of people on domination. 03:24:00.240 --> 03:24:03.760 So both these teams have plenty of experience on it. 03:24:03.760 --> 03:24:06.160 But in terms of composition here, leg day, 03:24:06.160 --> 03:24:07.640 what are you expecting to see the most 03:24:07.640 --> 03:24:09.440 from this versus for a roster? 03:24:09.440 --> 03:24:10.360 Anything. 03:24:10.360 --> 03:24:11.160 Next question. 03:24:11.160 --> 03:24:14.280 Yeah, see, I respect it. 03:24:14.280 --> 03:24:15.600 That's the real thing. 03:24:15.600 --> 03:24:17.920 This is the most flexible roster in the world. 03:24:17.920 --> 03:24:18.960 The answer is anything. 03:24:18.960 --> 03:24:21.000 You can't ban them move along. 03:24:21.000 --> 03:24:22.320 Exactly. 03:24:22.320 --> 03:24:25.000 Also, just the silo from Satam is, I think, 03:24:25.000 --> 03:24:26.560 one of the better ones we see. 03:24:26.560 --> 03:24:29.920 Xerx is on my eyes as a potential future top 03:24:29.920 --> 03:24:34.240 bluelist. If you could really have a team come come together around him. 03:24:34.240 --> 03:24:38.720 And Batr plays a lot of Angela on a Krakowa domination and we just saw how 03:24:38.720 --> 03:24:43.200 impactful Frankie was in his series. So look out for Batr on this Angela because 03:24:43.200 --> 03:24:46.160 it's such a good anchor and it's such a good nuisance. And if he can cause 03:24:46.160 --> 03:24:53.360 somehow chaos in the BP bank then it could be a real chance. 03:24:53.360 --> 03:25:00.240 But we'll see which of these teams will rise to the challenge and join a rad e-sport at 3-0 in it to the playoff berth 03:25:00.240 --> 03:25:04.640 Will it be our world champions vs pro with the up and comers team vision we'll find out now 03:25:05.840 --> 03:25:10.160 All right heading into domination as always neutral ground random choice 03:25:10.160 --> 03:25:12.800 None of the teams have been able to pick this map 03:25:13.200 --> 03:25:18.400 But we are going to get stuck into our fans really soon and the question is are berth's prime vision e-sport 03:25:18.480 --> 03:25:20.640 Once again going straight down the classic world of farming now 03:25:20.640 --> 03:25:24.080 Now, Elsa, who are they going to be prioritizing the gambits? 03:25:24.080 --> 03:25:26.520 And after that, we're going to see more Manchester shenanigans. 03:25:26.520 --> 03:25:29.880 It seems like in the off time, a lot of teams have really 03:25:29.880 --> 03:25:32.120 started buying those Manchester stocks. 03:25:32.120 --> 03:25:32.600 That too. 03:25:32.600 --> 03:25:36.520 And like I mentioned earlier, this team vision 03:25:36.520 --> 03:25:37.960 like a lot of rockets. 03:25:37.960 --> 03:25:41.680 So VP can't just lay low once they get that first pick. 03:25:41.680 --> 03:25:44.320 You may want to have to chase where that res beacon is going 03:25:44.320 --> 03:25:45.000 to be. 03:25:45.000 --> 03:25:46.840 And Rex has been a huge proponent 03:25:46.840 --> 03:25:50.600 into extending these fights as a rocket player. 03:25:50.600 --> 03:25:54.120 usually combined with a Jeff when it comes to Kokoa. That was the consistent 03:25:54.120 --> 03:25:59.280 trap line that Vision liked. And Satam really likes his style arc. So do BP 03:25:59.280 --> 03:26:04.440 consider these pretty consistent picks from Vision? Or even are they 03:26:04.440 --> 03:26:09.560 friendly at all by what they pick? Alright once again we're gonna see 03:26:09.560 --> 03:26:14.360 Elsa versus Gambit here. It seems like thus far in the small 03:26:14.360 --> 03:26:18.360 dentists that we have, the Gambit teams tend to win out this matchup. 03:26:18.360 --> 03:26:20.360 Virtus Pro is a different beast entirely. 03:26:20.360 --> 03:26:23.720 I'm going to process a Loki ban here to make sure there's no double Raging Royal flush, 03:26:23.720 --> 03:26:26.960 which would just be too many Gambit Ultimates to try and deal with, 03:26:26.960 --> 03:26:32.260 but Gambit Ult has had a couple of really substantial nerfs, 03:26:32.260 --> 03:26:36.960 including the duration in Season 7, which has made it a little bit easier to deal with. 03:26:39.060 --> 03:26:40.160 You're letting... 03:26:40.760 --> 03:26:42.660 You're letting Sparkar on Elsa? 03:26:43.360 --> 03:26:44.160 Oh, yeah. 03:26:44.360 --> 03:26:44.960 Uh-oh! 03:26:44.960 --> 03:26:49.620 And it's not like you could just it's all like you could just say hey batter go tackle 03:26:50.260 --> 03:26:55.820 The Elsa like you're just gonna get blown up and gainer on the deadpool 03:26:55.880 --> 03:26:59.380 That's gonna be a pretty important one on the other side 03:26:59.380 --> 03:27:05.860 And I don't know how that's gonna fare against an Elsa because there's only a one sturdy bubble that you have for deadpool 03:27:07.460 --> 03:27:13.980 Okay, getting rid of that pop to your combo as well as the rage immoral flush and the starlords galactic legend 03:27:13.980 --> 03:27:16.860 We are going to see Van Paul on both sides as well. 03:27:16.860 --> 03:27:20.220 And we know that both Nebix and Finci can play that one 03:27:20.220 --> 03:27:22.060 and remove the invisible woman as well. 03:27:22.060 --> 03:27:25.500 There's a lot of constraint on the Vanguard here for Virtus 03:27:25.500 --> 03:27:28.540 Pro, but I'd love to see Cypher bring out this white fox. 03:27:28.540 --> 03:27:30.740 And over these been streaming a good amount of it 03:27:30.740 --> 03:27:32.100 and getting the hours in. 03:27:32.100 --> 03:27:35.100 And if Trijo wants to team up on the Luna Snow 03:27:35.100 --> 03:27:39.260 and get that extra, like, Fox Spectral Surge team up going, 03:27:39.260 --> 03:27:41.020 that would make it incredibly difficult 03:27:41.020 --> 03:27:42.060 to dive on this back line. 03:27:43.980 --> 03:27:50.620 Brex on the Gambit is gonna be a good time. Usually it's combined though with that Rogue from Gainer 03:27:50.620 --> 03:27:56.180 But that was removed so Vision are just gonna have to alter their composition a little bit 03:27:56.180 --> 03:28:00.860 But will they pay the ultimate price though of letting Sparker on the Elsa? 03:28:00.860 --> 03:28:05.420 All stype able show is just how strong the White Fox is in that in this new 03:28:05.980 --> 03:28:10.420 Hatch and Treacher on the Jeph. Just to speed everybody probably out of spawn 03:28:10.420 --> 03:28:17.140 but nevix has been a relentless venom while vision I wouldn't say play a whole lot of venom may be 03:28:17.140 --> 03:28:21.860 gainer and batter trade-off on those roles but it's not going to be what they're leaning on today. 03:28:22.740 --> 03:28:27.300 Well my source may be that I made it up and I saw it in a dream but I think vision e-sports 03:28:27.300 --> 03:28:32.260 is one of our youngest teams here as well as merters pro is by far the oldest it's definitely 03:28:32.260 --> 03:28:37.220 a new generation of e-sports competitors going up against the seasoned veterans of merters pro. 03:28:37.220 --> 03:28:45.620 And we're out the gates, he's gonna be a good match with the triple strat here from Vision. 03:28:45.620 --> 03:28:50.900 I look forward Xerx to have his best day ever and you're gonna have to peek against the 03:28:50.900 --> 03:28:55.480 world champions here of Virtus.Fro, but already a fourth position here for Virtus.Fro as they 03:28:55.480 --> 03:28:56.480 lead the charge. 03:28:56.480 --> 03:29:01.480 Synergox Anakin buys a lot of space in, goes to run and dive, and here comes 5 of the skin engagement here. 03:29:01.480 --> 03:29:05.480 A quick movement forward with the Sonic pursuit is all that you need. 03:29:05.480 --> 03:29:08.480 And well, look at that, just so much space taken away by this pro. 03:29:08.480 --> 03:29:10.480 Move as a unit with a single off angle. 03:29:10.480 --> 03:29:14.480 And over on multiple survivors here from Mission Esport, they're lacking one of their players, 03:29:14.480 --> 03:29:17.480 and re-communicating with them is going to be quite difficult. 03:29:17.480 --> 03:29:20.480 We do get to double off the joyful splash, by the way. 03:29:20.480 --> 03:29:24.480 Quite the stream from the Frenchman, thanks to drowning away vision. 03:29:24.480 --> 03:29:41.480 And Dredro sticks with the Jaff where when the fight is so clumped like that you're getting piercing damage, piercing heals, and I don't think we really see Dredro on this, usually on the Mantis, but that's been banned out and you just saw how impactful this is going to be when you can also toss people off the map. 03:29:41.480 --> 03:29:46.280 So a lot of eyes are on batter on how to you're gonna try and prevent this with mag bubbles 03:29:46.280 --> 03:29:50.880 But hurt us probably twice with such confidence and vision need to bring their mentals in check 03:29:50.880 --> 03:29:55.560 This you have to look at VP as a beatable team, or you're just gonna go in losing 03:29:56.060 --> 03:29:58.880 Crucially now sparker has full stacks of hunters instinct 03:29:58.880 --> 03:30:01.960 So it's gonna be incredibly mobile that shorter cooldown on the dash 03:30:02.460 --> 03:30:04.960 berserk's a plenty of force behind them 03:30:04.960 --> 03:30:24.040 And you barely see these health pools from Virtus Pro drop because of the important team 03:30:24.040 --> 03:30:29.680 up between Jeff, Venom and Deadpool, so this was something that Vision needed to try and 03:30:29.680 --> 03:30:34.240 break apart, but they have the Deadpool as well, but a very different strat line, the 03:30:34.240 --> 03:30:36.240 condition of the Gambit, uh, 03:30:36.240 --> 03:30:39.200 Warp Raging Royal Flush is what you're leaning on. 03:30:39.200 --> 03:30:42.240 Rex needs to bring a fight win here for Vision Eastworld. 03:30:42.240 --> 03:30:44.240 I was certainly a lot of sparks there, 03:30:44.240 --> 03:30:46.240 getting searching rather close to the Ultimate, 03:30:46.240 --> 03:30:48.240 but who goes as to a basic right now? 03:30:48.240 --> 03:30:50.240 It does have double team ups as well, being dimensionless, 03:30:50.240 --> 03:30:52.240 roadblocks, embers, symbiotes, shenanigans. 03:30:52.240 --> 03:30:54.240 I think that you do have a lot of, uh, 03:30:54.240 --> 03:30:56.240 all my buttons on the jet. 03:30:56.240 --> 03:30:58.240 Good goes your way from the incoming Ultimate, 03:30:58.240 --> 03:31:00.240 and the other answer out there, 03:31:00.240 --> 03:31:02.240 weird as the Gambit, can we eat any of these players? 03:31:02.240 --> 03:31:06.480 layers is the question. Zerk stands above it all, but might most run out of the duration 03:31:06.480 --> 03:31:10.360 of the extra damage before it comes on down legs. In a dangerous position, a little bit 03:31:10.360 --> 03:31:14.440 of damage is all about touching the back. The Apex Predator drags them from the invisible 03:31:14.440 --> 03:31:19.880 boundary and the protection is forfeits here, as vision e-sport despite their massive investment 03:31:19.880 --> 03:31:22.200 can't turn it from Virtus.Dro. 03:31:22.200 --> 03:31:29.920 100's is zero. Let them fight back. And the Apex Predator which drags vision out of their 03:31:29.920 --> 03:31:35.440 invisible boundary. I mean, that is a tough one for QB to try and salvage, but 03:31:35.440 --> 03:31:40.800 Virtus Pro, I mean, they have such strong team-ups, they have strong coordination, 03:31:40.800 --> 03:31:45.600 and the only chance is to kind of take advantage of this white fox, but I mean 03:31:45.600 --> 03:31:50.640 Sypey is buffed as ever. Man, 3 draws buffed as ever. That's a big head right there. Oh my god. 03:31:50.640 --> 03:31:53.920 But, Virtus Pro are proving why they're the world champion. 03:31:53.920 --> 03:31:57.600 Really in the big head lobby right now, and 3 draws team-ups are getting so much more 03:31:57.600 --> 03:32:03.700 values than even before, given that we are in the global ult generation nerf and when 03:32:03.700 --> 03:32:07.280 you don't have as many access, if we don't have as much access to our trash, it's just 03:32:07.280 --> 03:32:11.960 awesome, it's a great sustain. You really are getting so much value from having these 03:32:11.960 --> 03:32:15.960 kind of pseudo-ultimates off the team-ups, having this huge amount of healing on tap 03:32:15.960 --> 03:32:19.620 from both the international playbooks and especially the short cooldown of the symbiotic 03:32:19.620 --> 03:32:20.620 shenanigans. 03:32:20.620 --> 03:32:23.320 3, 2, 1. 03:32:23.320 --> 03:32:30.020 The Angela from Bouter, I'm really stoked about this to see who they can pull out of her to 03:32:30.020 --> 03:32:35.260 throw into a fight they may not be ready for and how Gainer can use these bubbles to maybe 03:32:35.260 --> 03:32:40.520 split off some of the resources, but Saipan can just get involved in the action and teleport 03:32:40.520 --> 03:32:45.660 and try to guard everybody and search from the Bucky we don't get to see that every day. 03:32:45.660 --> 03:32:49.260 It's nerf and it's not as strong as other duelists, but the pull and the neutrals are 03:32:49.260 --> 03:32:50.260 so strong. 03:32:50.260 --> 03:32:55.260 Oh, the devil on leash just means so much damage and spark is there to the second coming. 03:32:55.260 --> 03:32:58.060 Look at this, even with the attempt to try and take someone off the match, 03:32:58.060 --> 03:33:01.260 that's I'm gonna stand alone. The guns will find them eventually, 03:33:01.260 --> 03:33:06.060 and Timsy can't quite get the selfie despite the perfect tracking on the course. 03:33:06.060 --> 03:33:08.760 There's a lot of macho manipulation right from the vision side. 03:33:08.760 --> 03:33:12.160 When you have a Bucky pull, you have a shove from the Angela, 03:33:12.160 --> 03:33:14.660 but Virtus Pro, they just bring the party to you. 03:33:14.660 --> 03:33:19.060 They're happy to approach you and to just beat you to your grave 03:33:19.060 --> 03:33:23.380 with the daredevil. I think that's why Fai is flexed so well around sparkler's hero pool, 03:33:23.380 --> 03:33:28.460 namely just give him the elsa and make him look good. But Fai also is impactful on this 03:33:28.460 --> 03:33:33.460 team, whether it's to be the third strategist, to be the daredevil, to be the triple vanguard, 03:33:33.460 --> 03:33:38.660 Fai can play any role and that's why vertus frau are so band proof and they got really 03:33:38.660 --> 03:33:41.660 good team ups for this. So this is going to be an uphill battle for vision. 03:33:41.660 --> 03:33:45.260 Oh, it's a brave person around here, but so am I, she's just on top of it all. 03:33:45.260 --> 03:33:48.300 And it's time to try and pocket the Invisalum and through this, using the rage roll. 03:33:48.300 --> 03:33:51.020 Seems to work out for now, but Sata just- 03:33:51.020 --> 03:33:55.100 Oh, the troopers went directly into the- into the smoke theme and trap! 03:33:55.100 --> 03:33:56.700 Oh, poor Zerik. 03:33:56.700 --> 03:33:58.700 Nothing's going right for Vision Esqualt right now. 03:33:58.700 --> 03:34:00.620 They actually dropped the Gambit as well. 03:34:01.820 --> 03:34:05.340 I don't like that, because it's such a good win condition, 03:34:05.340 --> 03:34:08.780 and Vision can't afford to reset their old charge too, 03:34:08.780 --> 03:34:11.100 because it feels like they're already at the end of the road. 03:34:11.100 --> 03:34:15.980 You have no safe island to sit on because those throw a W as soon as they see you. 03:34:15.980 --> 03:34:20.860 Okay, skill issue, given over, too sparky, this guy has very few skill issues, don't move 03:34:20.860 --> 03:34:25.020 him into the black one yet again. Guess who's in danger? The cellular corrosion does a bunch of 03:34:25.020 --> 03:34:30.380 damage and Fincy just float over into the fight. That's quite the ultimate coming through there 03:34:30.380 --> 03:34:35.260 through through, so you know what Fincy, don't worry bro, I've got your mobility on lock, go get him King. 03:34:35.260 --> 03:34:41.640 Yeah, who cares about Hulk throwing Wolverine or whatever team up there is when the Jeff 03:34:41.640 --> 03:34:43.780 can just throw you into the fight. 03:34:43.780 --> 03:34:48.260 This is a new level of aggression that VP have brought to this. 03:34:48.260 --> 03:34:51.460 Seconds away from making this a 200 to 0 domination. 03:34:51.460 --> 03:34:52.460 Vision! 03:34:52.460 --> 03:34:54.340 You gotta claw your way back! 03:34:54.340 --> 03:34:56.340 Wake up honey, you dying, Jim Stroll. 03:34:56.340 --> 03:35:00.380 Set down, waiting at the back, the imperative practice is going to give over quite a bit 03:35:00.380 --> 03:35:01.380 of additional damage. 03:35:01.380 --> 03:35:03.940 All they did to grab all nevix, this could be something 03:35:03.940 --> 03:35:07.340 That's a big hook coming, falling good, shut down all the ability as well 03:35:07.340 --> 03:35:09.660 But I ain't gonna deal with a second wave of fire coming round the back 03:35:09.660 --> 03:35:13.220 Looses too much health, and so I have to back off for the moment 03:35:13.220 --> 03:35:15.700 The vision's getting to the end, the effect of all points right here 03:35:15.700 --> 03:35:18.580 Rex uses the soul resurgence, and this is like a skill issue 03:35:18.580 --> 03:35:21.460 He's given her a convincing look, we definitely won't want to hear you right now 03:35:21.460 --> 03:35:25.020 Cypher unleashes the kumiho, but 900 HP doesn't last long 03:35:25.020 --> 03:35:27.700 Against the continuous damage bought out by vision 03:35:27.700 --> 03:35:30.700 Still in the back pocket, we have the ultimate from Rex 03:35:30.700 --> 03:35:36.300 A bio-combo they might be all that's necessary, as it seems like they're probably gonna cedar over the point. 03:35:36.300 --> 03:35:38.060 I'm just engaged for now. 03:35:38.060 --> 03:35:43.180 Wow, I didn't think it was possible to win a fight against VP, but they shouldn't have done it. 03:35:43.180 --> 03:35:49.420 Xerx has done it. To pull that venom before the escape, after the passive has been chunked through, 03:35:49.420 --> 03:35:54.940 look at Xerx to have again another impact. When you can defend the point and then look for hooks, 03:35:54.940 --> 03:35:59.740 you get to decide when VP are going to fight rather than the other way around, 03:35:59.740 --> 03:36:06.740 But of course Apex Predator has always been a banger for Sparker, and despite the straddle to miss, I don't know if they can stop it. 03:36:29.740 --> 03:36:36.220 this point to once again be equipped with the favorite furthest pro, but it's getting worse and worse as Nevix and Fincy moving towards the back. 03:36:36.220 --> 03:36:47.740 The gold vanguard vibe is just too easy to try and fuck through, even if you've got a sharpest knife in your hands, sparkless, quite the incising tool when it comes to getting rid of metal fleshing, metal bones. 03:36:47.740 --> 03:36:54.580 Baters the next one to fall on down, fire makes an attempt to try and make something happen on the Spider-Man, and a quick eat on some of the portal casting. 03:36:54.580 --> 03:36:58.180 Dr. Strange means Vision eSports, a kick from the map. 03:36:58.180 --> 03:37:05.400 It's so tough for Winter Soldier 2 from Xerx, is that because of the team-up from Jeff with 03:37:05.400 --> 03:37:09.620 Venom and Deadpool, you have so much share of dealing, it's so hard to get these helpers 03:37:09.620 --> 03:37:13.360 even blowing up to get executed from the Kraken impact. 03:37:13.360 --> 03:37:16.940 But I did like the neutral game from Vision. 03:37:16.940 --> 03:37:23.660 There was some inkling, some good ideas of execution to pull this nevix, Venom, to try 03:37:23.660 --> 03:37:30.460 and punish him on his escapes, but that was only one death and what a total of five deaths 03:37:30.460 --> 03:37:36.540 or make it four actually from the VP side, so incredible resilience and doing it with 03:37:36.540 --> 03:37:43.300 what mostly two strategists, not even needing three I believe for VP, but Vision did their 03:37:43.300 --> 03:37:48.780 best and were able to actually take a fight and not get 200-0, but it took a whole lot 03:37:48.780 --> 03:37:49.780 of effort. 03:37:49.780 --> 03:37:55.780 I think we can all agree, uh, five going 22 and two, uh, 50% of the team's casualties, uh, 03:37:55.780 --> 03:38:01.940 bro is definitely getting kicked and replaced before safe one begins, uh, unacceptable performance. 03:38:01.940 --> 03:38:06.420 Sparkle over 27 and zero looking like ducky out there. And well, if you're going to give the 03:38:06.420 --> 03:38:12.420 best oldest in the world, uh, the best oldest hero in the world, things are going to fall apart 03:38:12.420 --> 03:38:18.260 rather quickly. And while we did see these nods towards that mantis ultron composition, 03:38:18.260 --> 03:38:24.100 which was able to get some interesting plays of a team like Rad in a match-up, 03:38:24.100 --> 03:38:28.900 but maybe it wasn't quite so one-sided, didn't work out here against Virtus.pro. 03:38:28.900 --> 03:38:34.340 They're classic, including bringing out the White Fox, who I think we only really saw one ult from, 03:38:34.340 --> 03:38:39.060 as Saipet didn't really feel too much pressure to use it until they're in danger of losing the point. 03:38:39.060 --> 03:38:41.540 The White Fox seemed to be doing fairly well in the neutral, 03:38:41.540 --> 03:38:46.340 so they were able to cover these rotations rather well as well, so they gave him some great mapping from. 03:38:46.340 --> 03:38:51.860 I can understand the wanting to go for the double damage moves with the Ultron and the 03:38:51.860 --> 03:38:56.060 Mantis, just so that Xerx or just anybody for that matter could have enough burst to get 03:38:56.060 --> 03:39:01.180 through the share of the Jett dealing and whatever else, the sustain from PP was next 03:39:01.180 --> 03:39:02.180 level. 03:39:02.180 --> 03:39:06.660 But like I pointed out also, here is a huge performance of damage as the dead pool came 03:39:06.660 --> 03:39:11.860 out with a second most amount of damage on his team, had a nice double kill to help Vision 03:39:11.860 --> 03:39:17.060 retake at least one of these fights, so there's definitely some flashes of blinks from the vision 03:39:17.060 --> 03:39:21.780 side, but it's hard to beat perfection. And now that we go over the replays, I hope we get to see 03:39:21.780 --> 03:39:26.420 what the almost the team grab on the Apex Predators and spark what is riding with all the 03:39:26.420 --> 03:39:31.780 being visible boundary on that first round. Now that has fallen. Yeah, I mean it was just so 03:39:31.780 --> 03:39:36.020 smart to be all that, but you know what, I don't want to deal with this one, so I think it's very 03:39:36.020 --> 03:39:41.380 accurate as well with those, with most of the box primary fires, you could see the switchlights be 03:39:41.380 --> 03:39:46.740 great by right here and uh I don't know if QB got up to another one, I don't know if there was a 03:39:46.740 --> 03:39:50.580 side view in that fiber, I didn't see because it's inside the invisible boundary, in fact it managed 03:39:50.580 --> 03:39:55.140 to take out the invisible boundary cast then after all the other damage was being done, so great 03:39:55.140 --> 03:40:00.500 target focus there from Bernstrasse and Lethal. And holding the invisible boundary, it's doing its job 03:40:00.500 --> 03:40:06.820 but you just cannot let Slaughter have the Elsa or it gets over and depending on where 03:40:06.820 --> 03:40:10.500 Vision want to go to next, the series could be over very soon. 03:41:30.500 --> 03:41:32.500 I 03:43:00.500 --> 03:43:04.540 moment for domination on Krakowa but it was nice to see a little bit more 03:43:04.540 --> 03:43:09.860 resistance towards the latter half of that second point there, Levin. Yeah, I 03:43:09.860 --> 03:43:13.940 think the choice of the Bucky was a nice neutral fight addition to try and maybe 03:43:13.940 --> 03:43:19.580 have that extra punish against the Venom which we saw a glimpse of a one death 03:43:19.580 --> 03:43:24.340 for all Devics there because of that but Zerz really struggled to have impact on 03:43:24.340 --> 03:43:28.260 the Kraken impact when the health pools were just so strong or so healthy I 03:43:28.260 --> 03:43:34.380 I should say because of the Jeth, Deadpool, and Venom team up that they had, so it's hard 03:43:34.380 --> 03:43:40.220 to pinpoint a weakness in that VP, and that's why the Krakken impact is a lot. 03:43:40.220 --> 03:43:45.440 I mean, Legday, we tried seeing it where there's a scenario that Virtus.pro were just getting 03:43:45.440 --> 03:43:49.820 targeted with all the strategies banned from Vision, and it just seemed like that wasn't 03:43:49.820 --> 03:43:53.460 enough for you to now aura Farmless as well. 03:43:53.460 --> 03:43:55.460 Yeah, I didn't mean to hate you with me. 03:43:55.460 --> 03:44:00.580 with me old hand rail gun, but uh, unfortunately here we are and consider yourself mug losers. 03:44:04.260 --> 03:44:09.700 I mean, VP are looking as strong as ever, right? Like Lemons actually sport on that the uh, 03:44:09.700 --> 03:44:14.020 the Kraken Impact really was effectively counted. Like when you have to get under a certain HP 03:44:14.020 --> 03:44:19.940 threshold to be like executed by the by the culling of the Kraken Impact, you deal with that super 03:44:19.940 --> 03:44:24.900 well by just adding additional health on top of that. Like the sustainability that Draco was able 03:44:24.900 --> 03:44:28.860 able to bring via that symbolic stand against Teamup really meant that while there was this 03:44:28.860 --> 03:44:33.700 attempt to ban out a lot of side pays here, we did a bit of a gambit-loaking in this and 03:44:33.700 --> 03:44:38.660 the Ultron as well, which usually seemed to be the five you'd want to pick up, um, you 03:44:38.660 --> 03:44:43.500 just left your, you like to rejuvenate what he wants really, and double Teamups for Rijo, 03:44:43.500 --> 03:44:48.700 letting the French powerhouse get even richer, like, capitalism just isn't working, bro. 03:44:48.700 --> 03:44:53.700 Well, when you're done mocking us, we can talk about how suffocating too, like the attack 03:44:53.700 --> 03:44:58.660 VP was like you're on the edge of the map if you're visioned and you're still getting dove on there 03:44:58.660 --> 03:45:05.460 Just really wasn't a safe place to ever stay and if you ever tried to take a flight in a lane and apex predator 03:45:05.460 --> 03:45:11.220 Was running you down like a bulldozer, so it was tough to even choose where to take the fight if you were vision 03:45:11.940 --> 03:45:14.340 It is a tough spot to be and if you are vision 03:45:14.340 --> 03:45:20.380 But their counter map will see if that is going to be enough to change the game for them again going on to something that 03:45:20.380 --> 03:45:26.240 VP might not have played as much recently especially because it is a back into the map pool itself 03:45:26.240 --> 03:45:30.680 We might see a little bit of some Shin Shibuya action coming here momentary 03:45:30.680 --> 03:45:37.640 And that's exactly where they are going to I'm loving that we're seeing so many teams flex to this as their counter pick so far lemon 03:45:37.640 --> 03:45:41.760 Yeah, they have a the second time that making this the only map loss 03:45:41.760 --> 03:45:47.080 They had was the crown fall and then they ended the series on Shin Shibuya and they had a really strong attack 03:45:47.080 --> 03:45:54.160 They full-capped with 36 seconds left. They went towards the double strat, interestingly enough, with Adam in jeff, 03:45:54.160 --> 03:46:01.420 of course, then bringing the jeff and the rocket later on, but Satam had this insane MVP performance on their double. 03:46:01.420 --> 03:46:09.820 Xerx was allowed to play Elsa, so maybe that was the big problem, or the big solution for them, but that also would like to play Venom there. 03:46:09.820 --> 03:46:18.780 Well, we'll have to see what this vision team can do on this counter pick as well. 03:46:18.780 --> 03:46:24.580 Virtus Pro doing everything that they can on this matchup to just quickly speed through 03:46:24.580 --> 03:46:27.460 and secure their top seed yet again. 03:46:27.460 --> 03:46:31.780 They unfortunately lost number one seed because they played less matches. 03:46:31.780 --> 03:46:35.340 Interrat did going into this one, so they're looking to go back on top, the undefeated 03:46:35.340 --> 03:46:38.980 not drop a single map, and if they could keep the streak going here, Lemon, they'll be able 03:46:38.980 --> 03:46:45.380 to do just that. Yeah, I think this could be a really good point for vision as they have experience 03:46:45.380 --> 03:46:49.380 on this map. Maybe a lot of teams have been putting attention into Shin Shibuya. Now that 03:46:49.380 --> 03:46:53.780 it's back in the map pool, you're not expecting too many teams to pick it. Just because that first 03:46:53.780 --> 03:46:59.620 choke point for that point fight is so difficult to get through. Very defensive sided initially. 03:46:59.620 --> 03:47:05.300 So we'll see who side picked what and we could also determine the early winery. 03:47:05.300 --> 03:47:10.300 Yeah, like it does look like we do have Virtus.pro on the defensive side of the time. 03:47:10.300 --> 03:47:18.300 I mean, I highly agree that I think that Shinchugu is a great pocket pick for a team that is going to be like maybe a little bit lower in terms of the overall power level. 03:47:18.300 --> 03:47:22.300 The only problem is, since we picked up on earlier, Virtus.pro is the oldest team in this game. 03:47:22.300 --> 03:47:31.300 They are one of the only teams that has actually won tournaments where this map was hard to be honest. 03:47:31.300 --> 03:47:44.300 Like back in the dawn of legends days for the old people like me, who need staylifts to get up to the second floor of their home, it was just Yggdrasil Path and it was Shin Shibuya and it was Virtus Pro winning it all. 03:47:44.300 --> 03:47:50.300 Yeah, they are the ones who wrote the tomes that everyone else is quoting for strategies on this map. 03:47:50.300 --> 03:47:58.300 So maybe in terms of heroes that could be the difference that Vision Esport tried to take out against them because it's a little bit of a different meta in that category. 03:47:58.300 --> 03:48:01.780 Category but furnace pro again. They have all the experience to boot 03:48:01.780 --> 03:48:05.500 They have all the compositions that they can go with whichever fans are against them 03:48:05.500 --> 03:48:07.960 It doesn't matter because they are the undefeatable raid boss 03:48:07.960 --> 03:48:10.980 They have just three health bars already for this one 03:48:10.980 --> 03:48:16.340 But it seems the series is already here leg day and lemon cell. Let's get into it furnace pro 03:48:16.340 --> 03:48:20.020 Look to secure the 3.0 record and stay undefeated 03:48:20.020 --> 03:48:26.020 You know what, I checked it back, I mean, during the legends, the first one was actually Shmungus Bogustin, I believe. 03:48:26.020 --> 03:48:30.020 And then Team Catz came along, which became Bogusti. 03:48:30.020 --> 03:48:34.020 Sort of get the history right. Who are the youngins out there who are forgetting where we came from? 03:48:34.020 --> 03:48:43.020 Well, VV feels like Eric Adelman was part of making history, thought of the future as well, to defend this point first. 03:48:43.020 --> 03:48:49.340 Vision, if you can just get the point, Cat, that would be a win in my books, okay? 03:48:49.340 --> 03:48:52.620 Because this is such a defensive-sided map initially. 03:48:52.620 --> 03:48:56.860 And what will be the kind of prioritization that comes to be picked in the band? 03:48:56.860 --> 03:49:00.540 Because you cannot be letting Elsa go through through BP, 03:49:00.540 --> 03:49:04.060 but also you don't want Gambit through, so it's a pick your poison type of pick there. 03:49:06.060 --> 03:49:11.100 Alright, and what poison shall be poured into the chalice this day is the question. 03:49:11.100 --> 03:49:18.460 I wouldn't mind seeing vision once again ban that elsewhere away from spark as they did not do last time and well 03:49:18.460 --> 03:49:21.340 It seems like we're going to be seeing the same again 03:49:21.340 --> 03:49:23.820 Perhaps one-sided gambit in favor of vision here 03:49:24.220 --> 03:49:29.220 Virtus Pro they're likely to try and take the rogue away again if it is going to be the one-sided gambit as you noted earlier 03:49:29.220 --> 03:49:37.260 Gainer's road has been mightily impressive in a lot of the matches where we've seen it be able to have that team up and even in 03:49:37.260 --> 03:49:40.180 The neutral as well. So trying to constrain gainer 03:49:40.180 --> 03:49:45.780 but it'd be fair. Not that much of a constraint if he's able to play the Vanguard pool. 03:49:45.780 --> 03:49:51.220 And it's Deadpool is what you make of it. The more mechanical you are, the faster you 03:49:51.220 --> 03:49:54.820 can generate that ultimate, just like any other hero, but Gainer especially could get 03:49:54.820 --> 03:49:59.700 even faster than the average human, which could really disable a whole strategist from 03:49:59.700 --> 03:50:04.260 a fighter, really depending on whom she places it on. Hey, if you get even Sparkler to not 03:50:04.260 --> 03:50:08.940 play the game for five seconds, you may have a chance at winning. So Gainer is Deadpool, 03:50:08.940 --> 03:50:12.700 I wonder if that gets through because that would be a banned consideration for me if I'm VP 03:50:13.260 --> 03:50:16.440 Yeah, that's definitely same thing needs to be kept on the mind 03:50:16.980 --> 03:50:21.180 Once again, of course you see them to get protected. It's mandatory to get rid of Loki 03:50:21.180 --> 03:50:26.660 No one wants to deal with two raging royal flushes least of all us in the casting move because that means okay 03:50:26.660 --> 03:50:28.700 That's fight one and that's another fight one 03:50:30.180 --> 03:50:37.620 And just trying to at least stop the support that is around the Elsa so no Ultrons no Mantis 03:50:37.620 --> 03:50:39.620 No fun. No, it doesn't matter. 03:50:39.620 --> 03:50:42.620 Sparker will still take down a whole team by himself. 03:50:42.620 --> 03:50:45.620 And it also matters now where you're taking the fight. 03:50:45.620 --> 03:50:48.620 Shin Shibuya has a lot of these tight lanes to fight her, 03:50:48.620 --> 03:50:53.620 so expect the Apex Predator to be as strong as ever here for Sparker. 03:50:53.620 --> 03:50:56.620 Alright, looks like we're going down the same path again. 03:50:56.620 --> 03:50:59.620 I would be excited to see a vision eSport deep down out of the Jaffia, 03:50:59.620 --> 03:51:03.620 knowing that they are likely to be against both team-ups, or even the Venom, 03:51:03.620 --> 03:51:06.620 which was really causing problems, and there were a lot of high places 03:51:06.620 --> 03:51:12.400 places from which to dive down on a venom here that could easily be a great way for 03:51:12.400 --> 03:51:14.860 Nevix to mess with any potential engagements. 03:51:14.860 --> 03:51:16.860 Visiony's got to take more time with this one, evidently. 03:51:16.860 --> 03:51:19.180 Oh, but daredevil, that makes sense. 03:51:19.180 --> 03:51:21.220 Why was doing git server on Krakowa? 03:51:21.220 --> 03:51:28.380 We're worried about that team up that you just mentioned and just how VP had only four 03:51:28.380 --> 03:51:32.600 deaths amongst all of them in the entirety of Krakowa. 03:51:32.600 --> 03:51:35.020 So that is going to be something. 03:51:35.020 --> 03:51:41.460 Maybe it's just a focus, a target, better angle, or maybe even more damage groups to 03:51:41.460 --> 03:51:42.460 worry about. 03:51:42.460 --> 03:51:46.700 But, in addition, they got an attack first, so they got to set the tone for this, whole 03:51:46.700 --> 03:51:47.700 map. 03:51:47.700 --> 03:51:51.980 Oh yeah, that's going to be quite a bit difficult, not to crack. 03:51:51.980 --> 03:51:52.980 Virtus. 03:51:52.980 --> 03:51:56.100 Pro, not a team that makes a huge amount of mistakes. 03:51:56.100 --> 03:52:01.180 You could argue that's probably their biggest strength, that this is not a team that have 03:52:01.180 --> 03:52:03.820 lost their strategy stults, that overextends too far. 03:52:03.820 --> 03:52:10.420 usually tend to have a backup plan, even if potentially they get outdone in the neutral sometimes. 03:52:10.420 --> 03:52:14.420 Virtus.Pro rarely are giving fights away for free off the back of the stakes. 03:52:15.020 --> 03:52:20.820 Manta's Ultron available, that was something they tried to use in the past, 03:52:20.820 --> 03:52:26.020 if you wanted to try and have a stronger poke phase, so that you have VP on the back foot, 03:52:26.020 --> 03:52:30.020 you can try it around the corner, because it's so defensive-sided for this first point, 03:52:30.020 --> 03:52:36.020 because of that first corner that tight line you have to get through and the defenders can also hide away and be out of vision 03:52:36.620 --> 03:52:42.780 So up to vision to see if they can get vision on the back line here of the three once they enter 03:52:43.740 --> 03:52:47.580 All right. Oh, you can see that the eSports team bundles are in the game 03:52:47.580 --> 03:52:50.620 You can pick yours up now in a game for only 03:52:51.380 --> 03:52:55.620 1400 units her I believe we can get a big discount on a multi-package 03:52:55.620 --> 03:53:16.120 Oh yeah, it's not even just the cool jersey on Deadpool, it's everything else, but VP are expecting a portal play, Gainer's trying to pick the right place in the social distancing from this backline, see if he'll be able to access someone like 5, but... 03:53:25.620 --> 03:53:29.780 It's just so much value, not only is it, you have to forget that it's for Elsa too. 03:53:30.580 --> 03:53:36.020 And now that portal is going to be on a long cooldown, so it's time for Plan B, and it's playing Front to Back, 03:53:36.020 --> 03:53:40.660 or maybe just going back six feet under as how to get spotted. 03:53:40.660 --> 03:53:45.300 Because VP, it's not just the mechanics, the versatility, the flexibility of different heroes, 03:53:45.300 --> 03:53:51.220 it's their awareness of the map, so you're not going to be able to throw your Deadpool on an off angle or a flank, 03:53:51.220 --> 03:53:52.340 but now VP noticed. 03:53:52.340 --> 03:53:58.340 Full charge on the 16 here for Sparkler as well, you can see that this ship has been 03:53:58.340 --> 03:53:59.340 done a bit. 03:53:59.340 --> 03:54:02.340 About two seconds and Xerxes found that one out from, aren't they? 03:54:02.340 --> 03:54:03.340 Back to the clips. 03:54:03.340 --> 03:54:06.340 It'll be difficult for Vincenzo to try and stay on the map here, as they are going to 03:54:06.340 --> 03:54:11.340 be in danger of being carried off by an assassin's charge, but Beta is dealt with rather swiftly. 03:54:11.340 --> 03:54:15.340 You know what, Virtus Pro, they've been so focused on this outside battle that they 03:54:15.340 --> 03:54:18.340 haven't actually lost their tick on the point, which is something that they can only do three 03:54:18.340 --> 03:54:21.340 times before they accidentally lose the entire point. 03:54:21.340 --> 03:54:26.540 You're right though, it could be just down to zoning and eventually if you dump enough ultimates into VP 03:54:26.540 --> 03:54:28.920 they're going to have to take a seat eventually. 03:54:28.920 --> 03:54:36.240 I just want to make sure that I can count VP's deaths on two hands and not just one, but Sparker is the hunter in this match. 03:54:37.180 --> 03:54:44.440 That's shade demon. It does grab on for the ally, and that means no getting under the theoretical scene for Jeff to hide away. 03:54:44.440 --> 03:54:49.200 I'm going to bring the Angela, I like that she'll be able to fly around, maybe try to 03:54:49.200 --> 03:54:54.600 tackle someone like Sparkle forward, but Veefer is still very measured despite how good 03:54:54.600 --> 03:54:59.880 they are, they're never going to really overextend, at least not yet, and Gainer is getting chased 03:54:59.880 --> 03:55:03.400 around, that's a lot of space being created, Veefer needs to make the most of this. 03:55:03.400 --> 03:55:07.000 I felt the most of this, I'll say much, and even more, with the maximum health and momentum 03:55:07.000 --> 03:55:10.840 is higher, thanks to the symbiotic resilience, a great charm coming through as well, Zeris 03:55:10.840 --> 03:55:15.240 This is one onto five. Gainer's been refined here by the battle we call Beacon. 03:55:15.240 --> 03:55:17.120 So this is going to be an opening to try and play with. 03:55:17.120 --> 03:55:21.040 Kara Fossilou sat down, but indeed he is lost on the way back home. 03:55:21.040 --> 03:55:22.440 Out comes the Apex Predator. 03:55:22.440 --> 03:55:23.680 Suzanne Garth, proud. 03:55:23.680 --> 03:55:28.840 The extension of the stone by of the dashes is so much to try and contend with. 03:55:28.840 --> 03:55:34.840 But Xertras has to flee into the buildings and they meet their fate at the hands of both Thie and Sparket. 03:55:35.560 --> 03:55:38.560 In vision, like I've mentioned before, they do really like the roster. 03:55:38.560 --> 03:55:40.560 They like to have that one pick forgiveness. 03:55:40.560 --> 03:55:42.720 And that almost could have tilted the scales in their favor. 03:55:42.720 --> 03:55:45.080 They picked off five, vision had all six. 03:55:45.080 --> 03:55:48.140 The issue is that you had a big old Apex Predator 03:55:48.140 --> 03:55:50.960 kidnapping everyone and lining up the pins 03:55:50.960 --> 03:55:51.460 for Virtus. 03:55:51.460 --> 03:55:53.160 Brought to go for a full strike. 03:55:53.160 --> 03:55:55.080 And only one ult has been forced. 03:55:55.080 --> 03:55:58.560 There's five more to go for VP's in only less than a minute. 03:55:58.560 --> 03:56:01.040 I think to put the scale issue into set down, 03:56:01.040 --> 03:56:03.360 but it's not going to have too much time to really farm 03:56:03.360 --> 03:56:05.880 that effective, because Sparks is already taking them all out. 03:56:05.880 --> 03:56:07.280 Just play some health here, over here. 03:56:07.280 --> 03:56:09.280 The plenty of HP to try and look on the other side. 03:56:09.280 --> 03:56:11.920 because Wings set on the back end, doesn't want to risk eating anyone. 03:56:11.920 --> 03:56:14.880 Instead, it's going to be Gerds moving in, five to be in danger. 03:56:14.880 --> 03:56:17.920 Can't quite fly away in time, a dance on the butterfly gets the value. 03:56:17.920 --> 03:56:21.120 Over into the white box form, the truth goes, Unleashed! 03:56:21.120 --> 03:56:23.440 Nine tails box, trying to get through nine. 03:56:23.440 --> 03:56:25.760 Now, I need to vision e-sport here as well. 03:56:25.760 --> 03:56:30.400 Brought in place by the skewer of the Antler and attempt to let the devil out. 03:56:30.400 --> 03:56:31.680 Sattons down again. 03:56:31.680 --> 03:56:34.400 Vision e-sports have themselves an opening that heard us throw. 03:56:34.400 --> 03:56:36.160 They're still holding strong on the point. 03:56:36.160 --> 03:56:37.520 Not like that's where you're expecting. 03:56:37.520 --> 03:56:43.440 the join for slash is not so full of joy for Xerx vision they dumped everything 03:56:43.440 --> 03:56:47.520 but the kitchen sink into that point they got a second tick but with seconds 03:56:47.520 --> 03:56:51.760 remain it has to be gainer to touch and vision need to full send but they don't 03:56:51.760 --> 03:56:54.000 have really the ultimate of the ghouls 03:56:54.000 --> 03:56:57.440 don't wanna say skid of play with, the damage was already down in the back the galactic 03:56:57.440 --> 03:57:01.520 legend is true just too hard to get away from that it gets quick after quick with 03:57:01.520 --> 03:57:06.640 the dark thick predations of the venom and vision in sport will walk away with 03:57:06.640 --> 03:57:09.120 69% it was a nice attempt. 03:57:09.120 --> 03:57:10.620 Ah, it's... 03:57:10.620 --> 03:57:12.120 Oh, damn it. 03:57:12.120 --> 03:57:17.480 Any tick at all is at least setting a win condition. 03:57:17.480 --> 03:57:18.480 There is... 03:57:18.480 --> 03:57:21.720 You're not playing for the draw, but you're playing to just survive and keep your heads 03:57:21.720 --> 03:57:22.720 above water. 03:57:22.720 --> 03:57:26.840 Rex will probably return on the rocket, so you'll have a little bit of forgiveness if 03:57:26.840 --> 03:57:28.520 you get picked for the sponsor. 03:57:28.520 --> 03:57:33.040 Still conservatively far away for the defense, so Vision cannot afford to lose anyone. 03:57:33.040 --> 03:57:38.680 I did like the dance of the butterflies from Xerx to pop that from Heaven's length verticality-wise 03:57:38.680 --> 03:57:40.880 and descend upon VP. 03:57:40.880 --> 03:57:45.000 They were able to disengage at the back window and re-emerge. 03:57:45.000 --> 03:57:50.600 Dredro has been so elusive as a jab, as he always is, but this is why the strat line 03:57:50.600 --> 03:57:53.760 makes it so difficult to eliminate anyone. 03:57:53.760 --> 03:57:58.840 I'd be surprised if we're at double digits for any elimination or any deaths here from 03:57:58.840 --> 03:58:00.600 the VP side. 03:58:00.600 --> 03:58:05.880 needed to maybe invest more into Sparker, who I think is probably setting a world record 03:58:05.880 --> 03:58:11.520 of eliminations as a single Elsa player here. So I'm really impressed with Sparker does 03:58:11.520 --> 03:58:14.160 and the consistency that he brings every single time. 03:58:14.160 --> 03:58:17.960 I mean, vision is once again in this position where they like high priority at the Gambit, 03:58:17.960 --> 03:58:22.840 right? High Friar Gambit Protect and then independent position where I don't actually 03:58:22.840 --> 03:58:28.640 want to use the Gambit because even with double bayou bashes, he's too easy to hunt down 03:58:28.640 --> 03:58:35.200 They're just so on it when it comes to these hunts with nevix and sparkler and fire coming in from all angles 03:58:36.200 --> 03:58:37.920 You know watching for a moment 03:58:37.920 --> 03:58:40.960 You can even just believe some of this pressure by soft diving the strats 03:58:40.960 --> 03:58:47.720 It's a strats three drawers site paying up even force a teleport or a react to site be teleporting 03:58:48.440 --> 03:58:51.840 This isn't this VP backline, but they're trying to take shelter 03:58:52.720 --> 03:58:57.880 The engagement there that there was no way for Ganon to get out in that fight corridor a quick symbolic swing web 03:58:57.880 --> 03:59:03.240 is not going to handle it. Finty mega isolated here due to a quick jet bubble speeding up the 03:59:03.240 --> 03:59:08.120 assassin's charge but nevix is on top of the rocket racoon and guess what even with that 03:59:08.120 --> 03:59:14.760 crazy crawl on the wall you cannot test the accuracy of nevix a world champion through and 03:59:14.760 --> 03:59:19.640 through and verus pro continue to show that they are not slowing down from week to week they are 03:59:19.640 --> 03:59:27.320 still number one. One, two, zero. Well, you blink and you miss it, but that is it. 03:59:29.320 --> 03:59:34.280 They just speedrun out of that and the series is over, they claim it and they are still number 03:59:34.280 --> 03:59:41.400 one in everyone's books and vision trying to stand as tall as they could, but there is no denying the 03:59:41.400 --> 03:59:49.400 goat of Elsa players' sparker, but these stats is what I'm gonna be excited to see and how many 03:59:49.400 --> 03:59:55.640 deaths they'd be even experienced. Ah this time only three, only three deaths. 03:59:55.640 --> 04:00:00.920 Usual suspect fire, the leg day versus fire vendetta yet to go away. 04:00:02.760 --> 04:00:08.200 But this was a very like, break up to a target band as well on the daredevil. Very intimidating, 04:00:08.200 --> 04:00:11.960 but one sided daredevil didn't seem to work out in great view in the vision esport, 04:00:11.960 --> 04:00:15.720 but to be fair this is a much younger newer roster compared to 04:00:15.720 --> 04:00:21.360 Hello Champions, Virtus.Pro who show that they are just as dangerous as ever. 04:00:21.360 --> 04:00:25.300 Also look at the DIRTH in damage between Sparker and anyone else. 04:00:25.300 --> 04:00:28.100 More than double the next leading cause of damage. 04:00:28.100 --> 04:00:31.660 Um, Ransou, disgusting, stinky, pick your word. 04:00:31.660 --> 04:00:35.740 I have all the words, and Vision will maybe have an easier time. 04:00:35.740 --> 04:00:36.740 No, not really. 04:00:36.740 --> 04:00:43.540 They actually face Rattus their next match, and then Fire at the end, so, uh, all Vision 04:00:43.540 --> 04:00:46.220 What you need to do is stay alive in this room. 04:00:46.220 --> 04:00:49.820 It should be a good case for them with four teams left, 04:00:49.820 --> 04:00:51.220 or four teams going to playoffs. 04:00:51.220 --> 04:00:53.260 But Vod, hey, you're back so soon. 04:00:53.260 --> 04:00:54.140 Yeah, I know. 04:00:54.140 --> 04:00:56.060 I got a little shut-eye for a second there. 04:00:56.060 --> 04:00:57.900 It's like, oh, the map's over already. 04:00:57.900 --> 04:01:00.100 But no, I think the big thing to note here, 04:01:00.100 --> 04:01:01.900 and we talked about the dominance of Virtus. 04:01:01.900 --> 04:01:07.620 Pro is that Sparkler went 48-0 throughout both of the games 04:01:07.620 --> 04:01:08.340 on the ELSA. 04:01:08.340 --> 04:01:10.020 You need to ban this hero against them. 04:01:10.020 --> 04:01:22.820 I guess I know the back line, the strategies line up is so strong from this team as well with Saipae and Dredro, but I just don't think you can allow the Elsa to be played by the best duelist in the game right now. 04:01:22.820 --> 04:01:24.820 I don't know how you think about that one like that. 04:01:24.820 --> 04:01:34.820 Yeah, you're exactly correct. If you're the best duelist in the game, you try to give them the best duelist hero in the game as well. It's a match made in heaven. 04:01:34.820 --> 04:01:38.660 But that kind of speaks to the aura of the rest of Virtus Pro, right? 04:01:38.660 --> 04:01:42.160 But like, we can't like, cyber have Gambit as you meant to? 04:01:42.160 --> 04:01:44.540 Like, are you mad? 04:01:44.540 --> 04:01:51.420 Like, there's just so much threat that comes from this squad that you're kind of in this, 04:01:51.420 --> 04:01:52.780 you're in so few choices. 04:01:52.780 --> 04:01:57.820 Cyber Gambit, Sparky Elsa, Cyber Gambit, Sparky Elsa, choose your poison. 04:01:57.820 --> 04:02:02.260 Yeah, I think the biggest poison to VP might be rad when it comes to their group. 04:02:02.260 --> 04:02:05.960 And guess what? It's the very last match that VP are going to experience. 04:02:05.960 --> 04:02:07.060 He's against Rad. 04:02:07.060 --> 04:02:11.360 And at least the silver lining for Rad is that there's going to be so much tape about VP. 04:02:11.360 --> 04:02:14.660 So surely they're going to get the news and the memo to ban Elsa, right? 04:02:15.860 --> 04:02:17.060 Oh, we'll see. We'll see. 04:02:17.060 --> 04:02:18.160 I think that's the big thing. 04:02:18.160 --> 04:02:21.360 Like we talked about this at the start of the series here specifically, 04:02:21.360 --> 04:02:23.860 is that you really can't ban against Virtus Pro 04:02:23.860 --> 04:02:26.860 because regardless of what you target, they're going to have something else 04:02:26.860 --> 04:02:30.760 that they could play and that they just play better than anyone else in the scene. 04:02:30.760 --> 04:02:36.720 So you got to figure out some sort of wacky strategy that might throw them off that they aren't used to playing against 04:02:36.720 --> 04:02:38.800 But I feel like anything that is thrown their way 04:02:38.800 --> 04:02:43.960 They are just in a movable wall that you cannot break past at least in group B so far 04:02:43.960 --> 04:02:49.880 So they take back their number one seed of course not dropping a single map so far where we did it see Rad 04:02:49.880 --> 04:02:52.680 It drop one earlier against some reason so they also 04:02:53.080 --> 04:02:59.160 Secure their spot into the playoffs which we weren't really too surprised to see but I think on the other end of things though for vision 04:02:59.160 --> 04:03:04.680 Unfortunately for them this didn't really show us as much as we would have wanted to right because of how good verse 04:03:04.680 --> 04:03:08.760 Pro is and the difference between them and the other series that vision of played against 04:03:08.760 --> 04:03:11.440 I mean terms of learning experiences here lemon 04:03:11.440 --> 04:03:16.320 What can they really take from this kind of one-sided beatdown that we saw in this series? 04:03:16.320 --> 04:03:20.440 I think they know where the ceiling is for the top of the teams 04:03:20.440 --> 04:03:26.120 And I think they got tested and it's a mental game at the end to approach each match like this team is beatable 04:03:26.120 --> 04:03:30.760 There is so much star power with Xerx and Tatum and how they're playing Sylocke, the 04:03:30.760 --> 04:03:36.160 hair devil, and how they're coordinating with Gainer on these Venom dives, or whether it's 04:03:36.160 --> 04:03:37.160 the Deadpool. 04:03:37.160 --> 04:03:41.640 I think they have a really strong, talented team, and I could easily see Vision qualify. 04:03:41.640 --> 04:03:45.840 I feel like we're, everyone's battling for the third and fourth spot when it comes to 04:03:45.840 --> 04:03:50.160 Group B, and I could easily see Team Vision be part of that. 04:03:50.160 --> 04:03:54.840 Oh man, I mean, I hope the best for them, for any team who has to face off against Virtus 04:03:54.840 --> 04:04:00.280 pro on the reign of terror yet again I mean they were called the unbeatable the undefeatable during 04:04:00.280 --> 04:04:05.560 stage one that we saw them I think it was what 26 and oh that they were at one point until we 04:04:05.560 --> 04:04:11.000 actually saw rad the previous roster of that now not be the one to actually take something against 04:04:11.000 --> 04:04:17.400 them but even then this first protein continues to flourish in at the group stage specifically so 04:04:17.400 --> 04:04:22.360 lot to look out for them it looks like we're going to be having one of the interviews with 04:04:22.360 --> 04:04:27.720 potentially Nevix on their side coming up in a little bit here from the side of Virtus.pro, so 04:04:27.720 --> 04:04:31.640 interested to hear from them who usually get FinCy on their side too, so nice that they're 04:04:31.640 --> 04:04:37.480 spreading the love around a little bit here like that. Yeah, we get to talk to the vanguards of 04:04:37.480 --> 04:04:42.840 Virtus.pro a lot. This is definitely a very front-heavy team like both Nevix and FinCy have 04:04:42.840 --> 04:04:47.960 massive hero pools, but they're consistently rewarded from meta to meta. There's no bad 04:04:47.960 --> 04:04:53.720 matter for Virtus.Pro because these two are so flexible. And just a question to the class too, 04:04:53.720 --> 04:04:58.680 we're seeing some Bucky flashes every now and then, whether it's Xerx in this series or others, 04:04:58.680 --> 04:05:03.480 what's everyone's thoughts on Bucky being like a super counter to make it end on or just in general 04:05:03.480 --> 04:05:07.640 in the middle? Yeah, I think a lot of people like to play the Bucky specifically into the Jeff 04:05:07.640 --> 04:05:11.480 right, especially because his ult's really good shutdown for that specifically and just because 04:05:11.480 --> 04:05:16.040 of the like again again again ability of it. If you only have so many limited ultimates, 04:05:16.040 --> 04:05:23.320 It's if you can use one so often in the trajectory of Winter Soldiers all then it works that much better against some of these other heroes 04:05:23.320 --> 04:05:26.760 But I think just getting the value with the kidnaps too is a big thing as well 04:05:27.080 --> 04:05:29.960 Having that hook that you can use against the teams to dispossess 04:05:30.760 --> 04:05:36.520 Them from the objective, but it sounds like we are getting our interview here now with nevix 04:05:36.520 --> 04:05:41.560 I'm so excited to hear from them and what their thoughts are on everything. Welcome to the show nevix 04:05:41.720 --> 04:05:45.080 Congrats on making playoffs and your undefeated run so far 04:05:45.080 --> 04:05:50.260 How do you guys keep so consistent from stage to stage to stage into this new season? 04:05:51.860 --> 04:05:57.400 Hello, okay. I think we we keep grinding everyone's rather best 04:05:58.360 --> 04:06:04.200 Yeah, we've been together for so long. So we're so used to the game or structure and everything. We just keep rolling 04:06:05.880 --> 04:06:10.000 Well, you guys showed off quite a bit of a white fox today from sci-fi 04:06:10.000 --> 04:06:14.160 How are you feeling about how white fox is flooding into current meta, especially with the newest hot picks of us? 04:06:15.080 --> 04:06:21.960 I think she's pretty strong right now, but she needs good matchups and today we played like a really broadly all-in call 04:06:22.480 --> 04:06:24.800 So she really fits into that style 04:06:26.720 --> 04:06:28.360 Yeah, and 04:06:28.360 --> 04:06:34.020 We were just talking about the meta before you got in and I'm curious your thoughts on the Bucky that you face there from 04:06:34.040 --> 04:06:37.640 Zergs and I know as a venom you don't like being pulled in when you're not ready 04:06:37.640 --> 04:06:43.800 Do you think Bucky would be a suitable counter to the venom or what were your thoughts on how Zergs have approached it against you? 04:06:45.080 --> 04:07:04.080 Personally, I'm also big fan of Bucky. I feel like he is supposed to kill the dive, but he's also like a really good dive for it compared to like some other DPS characters like Elsa and Stoll, or like they're way harder to lock down and punish, while Bucky is like, if he's in a bad spot, he just dies and can't get away. 04:07:04.080 --> 04:07:11.120 I want to talk games again here as well. It seems like vision really wants to take the gambit out of your hands 04:07:11.320 --> 04:07:16.520 Do you think there's something about your team that signal should be much better with gambit than with elsa? 04:07:16.520 --> 04:07:20.240 It seems like leaving spark is also on the table is a somewhat foolhardy 04:07:22.200 --> 04:07:27.240 Yeah, I suppose that's really good, but I think gamut brings a lot more like teamwork 04:07:27.600 --> 04:07:31.960 So and our team is really solid like when we play gamut comes we're also really strong 04:07:31.960 --> 04:07:33.960 I also play quite a bit of Rogue right now. 04:07:33.960 --> 04:07:36.960 I think Rogue team up is also really strong in that comp. 04:07:36.960 --> 04:07:40.960 So there's like a lot of different strategies they have to think about in the draft. 04:07:42.960 --> 04:07:47.960 We're especially excited to, at least at the end of this group stage, 04:07:47.960 --> 04:07:51.960 that you facing RAD, the other strong team in your group, 04:07:51.960 --> 04:07:53.960 or maybe arguably the number two. 04:07:53.960 --> 04:07:57.960 Do you consider RAD to be a threat or how do you think that match is going to go? 04:07:57.960 --> 04:08:04.200 I definitely think they're the second best team in our group, so I'm hoping it's going 04:08:04.200 --> 04:08:07.960 to be a good game and we'll play close against each other. 04:08:07.960 --> 04:08:12.480 Well, final question here for you, Nevix, and it's been great to hear from you throughout 04:08:12.480 --> 04:08:15.520 the competition as well into this interview. 04:08:15.520 --> 04:08:19.360 Do you have any words for your upcoming opponents on the other side of the bracket? 04:08:19.360 --> 04:08:23.720 They've kind of escaped the VP dominance that we've seen in Group B, so you have Navi, 04:08:23.720 --> 04:08:44.720 I'm looking forward to playing Navi again. I think they're a really strong team right now, with the Terra. Added to the roster as well. And Heretic is also pretty good, so I'm really looking forward to face them. 04:08:45.720 --> 04:08:52.720 Okay, I'd like to keep it cool, common collected. I love it. Thank you, Nevix, for joining us and go celebrate your win with the rest of your teammates. Thank you. 04:08:53.720 --> 04:08:58.720 Thank you guys. 04:08:58.720 --> 04:09:03.720 Well, we heard from one of the main vanguards on the side of a Virtus Pro right next to Fidze. 04:09:03.720 --> 04:09:11.720 He looks so strong on the Venom as well, and gave us some insight to kind of the compositions that they were feeling a little bit more confident here on Lemon. 04:09:11.720 --> 04:09:17.720 Yeah, a man of so little words, but so much to say when it comes to how suffocating his dive was. 04:09:17.720 --> 04:09:22.840 And I like to hear his take on the Bucky, for example, as someone who could maybe make 04:09:22.840 --> 04:09:28.480 Venom have a harder time as someone that can hook him before that escape, but also being 04:09:28.480 --> 04:09:29.480 so vulnerable. 04:09:29.480 --> 04:09:31.120 So we'll have to keep an eye on it. 04:09:31.120 --> 04:09:35.680 There's a resurgence of the Winter Soldier in the meta to try and, instead of match the 04:09:35.680 --> 04:09:37.640 Venom, try to counteract it. 04:09:37.640 --> 04:09:41.800 Well, we are pretty much halfway through the show day to day. 04:09:41.800 --> 04:09:47.000 We had Virtus Pro facing off against Vision there, but we have our marquee matchup of 04:09:47.000 --> 04:09:52.600 the day up next. It's Team Na'Vi vs Team Heretics. The C is going to be the top of Group A after this. 04:10:17.000 --> 04:10:20.720 The lights have been tightly chopping all those fighting souls 04:10:20.720 --> 04:10:25.880 But yet, across the world, I see you standing in my way 04:10:25.880 --> 04:10:29.400 And remember the time, the nights we used to fight 04:10:29.400 --> 04:10:33.000 When sun and moon and time wandered 04:10:33.000 --> 04:10:36.640 If life wasn't time that we were proud 04:10:36.640 --> 04:10:40.040 Like a solid shadow is moving and yet 04:10:40.040 --> 04:10:42.640 That time has come for me to secure up 04:10:42.640 --> 04:10:45.080 The hearts and our lives bring union 04:10:45.080 --> 04:10:46.720 Break the chains, find your way 04:10:46.720 --> 04:11:08.960 Hey guys, my name is Ryan Central and I'm here to answer one specific question. 04:11:08.960 --> 04:11:09.960 What's the meta? 04:11:09.960 --> 04:11:12.360 And I would answer, I don't know, what's the meta with you? 04:11:12.360 --> 04:11:15.680 and I will continue to use that joke until I'm about 90, 04:11:15.680 --> 04:11:17.480 even though I look about 90 now. 04:11:17.480 --> 04:11:18.600 But in all seriousness though, 04:11:18.600 --> 04:11:21.240 I do want to talk about some of the data that we've seen 04:11:21.240 --> 04:11:23.560 from that first week of action in EMEA 04:11:23.560 --> 04:11:25.520 and America's in Ignite. 04:11:25.520 --> 04:11:29.120 Bear in mind that the players played on a old patch. 04:11:29.120 --> 04:11:31.760 It was the hot picks that came out on March the 19th. 04:11:31.760 --> 04:11:34.120 So the white Fox buffs that we're about to see, 04:11:34.120 --> 04:11:37.100 the Deadpool mobility and Elsa having less HP, 04:11:37.100 --> 04:11:40.160 we are going to see that in action this upcoming week. 04:11:40.160 --> 04:11:42.000 So stuff is a little bit different 04:11:42.000 --> 04:11:43.920 And also, as the pros will say, 04:11:43.920 --> 04:11:45.880 they're still working out the method themselves, 04:11:45.880 --> 04:11:47.420 lots of stuff is gonna change, 04:11:47.420 --> 04:11:49.440 and we're still building up the sample size, 04:11:49.440 --> 04:11:51.320 which includes add in China and Pacific 04:11:51.320 --> 04:11:52.480 to the action this week too. 04:11:52.480 --> 04:11:54.880 But there is a very easy place to start. 04:11:54.880 --> 04:11:56.460 Elsa versus Gambit, 04:11:56.460 --> 04:11:59.240 which of these characters is the most powerful 04:11:59.240 --> 04:12:02.440 in a competitive sense in coordinated play? 04:12:02.440 --> 04:12:04.520 And the answer when it comes to presents, 04:12:04.520 --> 04:12:06.120 how often we're seeing these characters, 04:12:06.120 --> 04:12:07.360 is actually Elsa. 04:12:07.360 --> 04:12:11.320 There's 68 maps played in America's and EMEA this last week, 04:12:11.320 --> 04:12:13.160 And a hero could shot twice in a draft, right? 04:12:13.160 --> 04:12:14.880 You can either protect a character 04:12:14.880 --> 04:12:15.960 and then the other team protects them, 04:12:15.960 --> 04:12:18.680 so you can both play them, you can both ban them, 04:12:18.680 --> 04:12:21.280 or you can have one team protect it and then ban it 04:12:21.280 --> 04:12:23.280 to make sure that they can play something like Elsa 04:12:23.280 --> 04:12:24.280 and the other team cannot. 04:12:24.280 --> 04:12:27.440 So it can shot twice, Elsa showed up every single time 04:12:27.440 --> 04:12:30.400 without fail, and certainly towards the start of a draft 04:12:30.400 --> 04:12:34.000 where you're looking for those first bans and first picks. 04:12:34.000 --> 04:12:36.680 In comparison, Gambit was missing like once or twice 04:12:36.680 --> 04:12:39.440 and teams just didn't want to include him at all, 04:12:39.440 --> 04:12:42.120 but the big difference between Elsa and Gambit 04:12:42.120 --> 04:12:45.320 is one is being banned out a lot more than the other. 04:12:45.320 --> 04:12:46.840 And surprisingly, it is Gambit 04:12:46.840 --> 04:12:49.040 that is actually being taken out more. 04:12:49.040 --> 04:12:50.600 So for example, a lot of the drafts 04:12:50.600 --> 04:12:52.520 will look like they will on screen, right? 04:12:52.520 --> 04:12:54.360 Where you're seeing Gambit being banned out first 04:12:54.360 --> 04:12:56.280 and then both teams will go and protect the Elsa, 04:12:56.280 --> 04:12:57.920 so both teams have access to it. 04:12:57.920 --> 04:12:58.920 Naturally, it makes sense. 04:12:58.920 --> 04:13:00.160 Elsa is really strong. 04:13:00.160 --> 04:13:02.320 Why would you not want to ban her out first though? 04:13:02.320 --> 04:13:03.640 It's more the case that Gambit, 04:13:03.640 --> 04:13:06.080 despite him being nerfed individually, 04:13:06.080 --> 04:13:07.280 being hit by the strategist, 04:13:07.280 --> 04:13:12.880 generation nerfs too as a whole. He's still strong in his own right but he enables so much as well. 04:13:12.880 --> 04:13:18.160 Heroes like Star Lord, Galactic Legend with a raging royal flush from Gambit, an incredible 04:13:18.160 --> 04:13:22.560 combination and characters like Rogue who are pretty like middling I suppose when it comes to 04:13:22.560 --> 04:13:28.240 the rankings of vanguards on their own get pretty much s-tib because they have the Gambit team up 04:13:28.240 --> 04:13:33.120 to work with. You remove Remi from a draft, you're removing three to four other strong heroes 04:13:33.120 --> 04:13:38.080 alongside. So it's so much value. So you take off a lot of the options from the enemy team 04:13:38.080 --> 04:13:42.160 and protecting Elsa means that you at least have something to work around no matter what your 04:13:42.160 --> 04:13:47.920 composition or idea is going to be for a map. Whether you're playing dive, poke, 2-2-2, triple 04:13:47.920 --> 04:13:52.560 strategist, triple vanguards is something that we're seeing as well at this point with flies, 04:13:52.560 --> 04:13:57.600 against flies, Elsa just works with all of it. It doesn't matter your comp, you put an Elsa in 04:13:57.600 --> 04:14:03.680 and she's so versatile, she will go and just absolutely destroy people in her own right. 04:14:03.680 --> 04:14:08.080 Outside of these two fighting for the first place, you do have the likes of Vanga Deadpool 04:14:08.080 --> 04:14:13.600 actually being right behind them both in protecting and also banning him out. And similar to Elsa, 04:14:13.600 --> 04:14:18.640 he just fits into a lot of different compositions and ideas and he just is very good in his own 04:14:18.640 --> 04:14:23.200 right, but also it's how good he is on stuff like domination. Because he could still build 04:14:23.200 --> 04:14:27.280 up his ultimate very quickly certainly in comparison to some of the other old generation 04:14:27.280 --> 04:14:31.440 nerfs that we've seen. That first fight is really good for Deadpool because he can get a 04:14:31.440 --> 04:14:36.800 ban hammer early, put it on the enemy strategist, lead to an elimination and so your backline 04:14:36.800 --> 04:14:42.640 strategists are up on ultimate charge before the enemy. He gets so much value and it makes sense 04:14:42.640 --> 04:14:47.840 why Deadpool Vanguard is so good not only on domination but just in a lot of first early fights. 04:14:47.840 --> 04:14:52.080 If you enjoyed these kind of breakdowns let us know and we'll continue to do more but until 04:14:52.080 --> 04:14:54.080 Until next time, ignite the battle, and I'll see you in a few. 04:15:22.080 --> 04:15:26.960 versus heretics winner likely the top of the group depending on what Shikigami has to say here 04:15:27.600 --> 04:15:33.760 Jen and team heretics I think are the biggest unknown we had going into this preseason but 04:15:33.760 --> 04:15:39.040 they've really proven themselves so far yeah this is the number one versus number two and you 04:15:39.040 --> 04:15:44.000 guys can argue in the chat on who you think number one but for me heretics this is a really 04:15:44.000 --> 04:15:48.160 interesting team because it's a team that actually strays away a lot from the venom 04:15:48.160 --> 04:15:52.960 dive meta that has been emerging and they focus more on these flankers like Captain America and 04:15:52.960 --> 04:15:58.640 Sylocke and even throwing in the Jeff with the Sylocke the speed the Sylocke around was not expecting 04:15:58.640 --> 04:16:04.000 that duo in this meta but it's been so fun and of course Naga who can flex to anything from the 04:16:04.000 --> 04:16:09.520 Starler to headshotting like crazy on the Mantis so this is going to be a really talented team to watch. 04:16:11.040 --> 04:16:16.320 I'm expecting big things but we've also seen the former world champions in Navi it's you pretty 04:16:16.320 --> 04:16:19.600 pretty well for themselves, like they, what are you expecting on their end of things? 04:16:19.600 --> 04:16:22.880 Uh, I'm expecting a little bit of goofiness given that I'm having a look at the lobby 04:16:22.880 --> 04:16:29.620 right now and uh, Fate is wrapping with Sentinel's icon, uh, they're very funny, very funny, 04:16:29.620 --> 04:16:30.620 Fate. 04:16:30.620 --> 04:16:34.560 For Na'Vi, we were expecting excellence, right, like this is a team that has a high 04:16:34.560 --> 04:16:39.760 caliber of players, they have the results to back them up, they have a very vocal leader 04:16:39.760 --> 04:16:45.400 in trust me, and there was some discussion around this team in the off-season. 04:16:45.400 --> 04:16:51.000 a team that is as kind of a one-man show when it comes to leadership of trust me in game at least 04:16:51.800 --> 04:16:58.520 accommodate a player like terror a player who is a generation of tourists but also a generational 04:16:58.520 --> 04:17:04.520 personality as well maybe someone who isn't the best at following orders to a tee and in guang 04:17:04.520 --> 04:17:09.800 joy got to watch navi scrim it's very much you do what trust me says in the game if you don't like 04:17:09.800 --> 04:17:15.000 it we'll talk about it after but right now you are obeying the trust me cool well his name is trust 04:17:15.000 --> 04:17:21.880 me for a reason right it's like he is not asking he is telling you but also this team does like I 04:17:21.880 --> 04:17:27.720 spoke about heretics not caring about the venom so much but this team does behind trust me and 04:17:27.720 --> 04:17:33.640 behind even Rajaro that either wants to anchor as Deadpool or run it down with the venom five and 04:17:33.640 --> 04:17:38.600 then you add Peru which is just that extra firepower that this team needs to follow up with trust me 04:17:38.600 --> 04:17:46.160 I'm just really curious on what kind of strategy we see from Team Heretic specifically in terms 04:17:46.160 --> 04:17:49.960 of the ban and protect phase against Navi, because that's a similar story to what we 04:17:49.960 --> 04:17:54.160 saw for Virtus.Pro, right, where it feels like you can't really do too much against 04:17:54.160 --> 04:17:57.880 them other than the Shiki Gami strat that they weren't as practiced against, and that 04:17:57.880 --> 04:18:02.320 really is map dependent, so depending on which domination map we get we could see something 04:18:02.320 --> 04:18:08.040 similar, but yeah, also proved, hey, we dug up a little bit after that, we did pretty well 04:18:08.040 --> 04:18:12.840 against Pepsi looks super proficient on it earlier today. So even if that kind of 04:18:12.840 --> 04:18:17.280 flyer composition with the human torch meant this Ultron comes out again, I 04:18:17.280 --> 04:18:21.080 think Navi are gonna be a little bit more prepared this time, especially after 04:18:21.080 --> 04:18:27.080 having a week of prep leading up to this very important series, Lemon. And we 04:18:27.080 --> 04:18:31.160 talked that length about maybe how much of a playmaker Navi is and how much we've 04:18:31.160 --> 04:18:35.200 known him from all the years of FPS experience, but Tanuki has been one of 04:18:35.200 --> 04:18:40.040 the most impressive Syloc players that we've had in this emerging dive meta, and if you 04:18:40.040 --> 04:18:44.440 can pair that with a nice run-it-down, the Beatles Captain America, they've kind of 04:18:44.440 --> 04:18:49.680 had their own take on a pseudo dive meta, and I think Tanuki has proven just why Syloc 04:18:49.680 --> 04:18:52.280 has started to emerge as a strong boolist. 04:18:52.280 --> 04:18:56.880 Well, we'll have to see once we get into the series itself, which map it's going to 04:18:56.880 --> 04:19:00.800 be, because that'll kind of lean to different compositions based on how these two teams 04:19:00.800 --> 04:19:08.320 But one thing to know is that I got some insight from fate saying a lot of teams are doubting them too much a lot of people online 04:19:08.320 --> 04:19:13.480 Are you happen too much about them and they're gonna be the ones to lock in they're saying for domination? 04:19:13.480 --> 04:19:15.280 They're going 200 to zero 04:19:15.280 --> 04:19:20.860 So we'll see if they'll be able to you know keep up with those words cells big words big shoes to fill or 04:19:21.200 --> 04:19:24.760 Fate after that one, but yeah, he's feeling confident going into this 04:19:24.760 --> 04:19:29.760 It's kind of a whole team effort led around level one crook in terms of their ban and protect phase 04:19:29.760 --> 04:19:36.680 So expect some of the biggest things from them going forward into this first map and every subsequent one 04:19:36.720 --> 04:19:39.940 We could see a 2-1. We could see a 2-0 04:19:40.200 --> 04:19:44.840 Navi themselves though like they they're hoping to get that 2-0 victory here 04:19:44.840 --> 04:19:52.480 I mean a quick 2-0 here to show some real dominance over team heritage who are probably their biggest competition in this group would be 04:19:53.000 --> 04:19:57.320 Boying for the confidence around Navi. However, like counter to what fate is saying 04:19:57.320 --> 04:20:03.080 I think that's America's best chance to win against Navi is probably on domination. This is one of the maps where 04:20:03.640 --> 04:20:08.800 Captain America's the most powerful and when it comes to Captain America players in EMEA 04:20:08.800 --> 04:20:14.800 I'm buying all the Beatles stock bro is super underbought when it comes to these dive vanguards 04:20:14.800 --> 04:20:19.760 Homie is a master of mobility and then when to go in when to go out when to get all of the stool 04:20:19.760 --> 04:20:24.400 The question is what can two narratives do with the space that these will buy and that's the thing as 04:20:24.400 --> 04:20:29.760 His domination is a smaller, a lot of the maps are just smaller than your average convoy 04:20:29.760 --> 04:20:34.000 or convergence, so it's not, the big trouble with Captain America is just not getting poked 04:20:34.000 --> 04:20:35.000 down to death. 04:20:35.000 --> 04:20:39.600 And then you have Syloff that can also more easily gap close if Tanuki wants to continue 04:20:39.600 --> 04:20:43.920 his Syloff domination on that when it comes to the team heritage side. 04:20:43.920 --> 04:20:49.080 But Jerky, we haven't talked enough about him and his daredevil and his ability to just 04:20:49.080 --> 04:20:50.080 ruin people's lives. 04:20:50.080 --> 04:20:53.120 So it's going to be a good brawl at slugfest, if you will. 04:20:53.120 --> 04:20:57.200 Yeah, I'm really excited to see what kind of comps come out from both these teams right team heretics 04:20:57.200 --> 04:21:01.360 We'll be the ones who get the two bands first and team Navi will be the one who gets the band and protect 04:21:01.360 --> 04:21:06.880 So that really changes the state of things going in it to this first phase of domination 04:21:07.360 --> 04:21:08.920 Really focusing around okay 04:21:08.920 --> 04:21:14.100 What are Navi gonna lock in first if the DD comes through the kind of prioritize that do they maybe go for more of a 04:21:14.100 --> 04:21:20.120 Mantis style because we've seen a lot more teams of focusing on that as well a couple of different options that they can opt for 04:21:20.120 --> 04:21:25.280 for depending on what that first ban is from a team Herodix, but we have our 04:21:25.280 --> 04:21:30.520 matchup of the day! Navi vs Herodix winner likely gonna come out of group A 04:21:30.520 --> 04:21:32.680 with the number one seed. Take it away! 04:21:50.120 --> 04:21:54.840 to be something here that is unlikely to be constrained by the fans but is likely to make the 04:21:54.840 --> 04:22:00.600 comps because both jerky and Tanuki have a really deep pool of heroes they can use to make sure 04:22:00.600 --> 04:22:03.800 that the rest of their team composition is always going to be in a great position where it's going 04:22:03.800 --> 04:22:10.200 to be the Adam Warlock, Tanuki being a star lord or even a silo, more recently as well, a big pick up 04:22:10.200 --> 04:22:15.880 for Tanuki. Tanuki in just like the last four maps that I've watched him had only played Syfox 04:22:15.880 --> 04:22:23.880 And it's just such a good understanding of the breakpoints, especially for voice-to-speak strategies in the pack, because if everyone's running through the strategies, 04:22:23.880 --> 04:22:28.380 how are you going to do if you have zero because Tanuki is invisible behind you? 04:22:28.380 --> 04:22:32.880 And then don't forget Beto, who's just going to be the absolute nuisance on Captain America, 04:22:32.880 --> 04:22:40.880 but we've just never seen Captain America as something like a siloed VA band consideration, because there's so many team-ups that you have to look at first. 04:22:40.880 --> 04:22:47.880 Okay, going for the Vanguard, protect straight away. I mean, this is fantastic because Rajaroh is just John Aimee. 04:22:47.880 --> 04:22:54.880 Like, yeah, the pro does so much damage with the Dull Desert Eagles, and the first protect on the jet. 04:22:54.880 --> 04:23:02.880 Okay, once again, this is going to get screenshoted with like, ah, EMEA's off the goop again. They're getting silly in the EMEA vans. 04:23:02.880 --> 04:23:12.880 And we're just going to have a quick pause before we continue on with that, we'll fade, according to Vod had a lot to say about how strong Navi was going to do, or maybe the other way around. 04:23:12.880 --> 04:23:17.880 Even VP can't get 200 to 0, okay? And if he can't do it, I don't trust anybody, it's impossible. 04:23:17.880 --> 04:23:24.880 Yeah, he's feeling very confident going into this matchup, and for good reason. I'm also liking the priority of having the one-sided ban pull, right? 04:23:24.880 --> 04:23:30.180 couple more teams banning that out for both ends just because they don't want to deal with it, but I've seen so much 04:23:30.460 --> 04:23:36.900 Focus on team Navi and they were kind of like the predecessors of using the vanpool, but we'll see how it goes in this one 04:23:47.180 --> 04:23:52.720 Now there's a world where we need to see a ban on the venom from team heretics 04:23:52.720 --> 04:23:59.360 Otherwise, you're looking at fate, a master of Jeff, with double death Jeff team ups, which frankly isn't on. 04:24:01.040 --> 04:24:06.640 And if heretics hate playing Venom so much, why not just ban Navi from playing it too? 04:24:06.640 --> 04:24:10.320 I would hate to play against Tresby's Venom, but again, there is 04:24:11.120 --> 04:24:15.920 so much on your grocery list of bans and team ups that you have to worry about, 04:24:15.920 --> 04:24:20.400 but making sure your strat lines are intact for heretics is pile one. 04:24:20.400 --> 04:24:30.400 Okay, the Galar Protector is a good hedge, meaning that you can play it with the Jeth, or if the Jeth is off the table, okay, they have to ban the Rogue because they don't want to deal with the Rogue Galar team. 04:24:30.400 --> 04:24:37.400 There are so much on the field here, for the side of Nabi, I think they're going to be quite happy with this one. 04:24:37.400 --> 04:24:45.400 Trust me, playing on the Cats of America, I would have mind seeing that move over onto a Venom if they have trouble with survivability, because the Symbolic Shemmingdon is just so strong. 04:24:45.400 --> 04:24:50.960 strong but it does put a little bit more teeth into jerky's dives. We saw 04:24:50.960 --> 04:24:56.380 perfectly for VP the daredevil and the Venom work well together but daredevil 04:24:56.380 --> 04:25:01.200 and the cap is a little bit more damaged due to cap's recent changes. I think just 04:25:01.200 --> 04:25:05.240 mirroring Veedle on the cap in America is more of an aura play than it is a correct 04:25:05.240 --> 04:25:09.440 but I prefer to be on the Venom but I'm impressed what comes out of the spawn 04:25:09.440 --> 04:25:13.320 room doors at the end of the day and again this is on the patch everybody 04:25:13.320 --> 04:25:21.300 that White Fox got super buffed and side paying and your huge fans of it but not a whole ton of people have been playing White Fox 04:25:21.300 --> 04:25:24.800 They want to at least cook on her a little bit more fate 04:25:24.800 --> 04:25:31.040 I think has been one that has played the most amount of White Fox out of all the White Fox users. So that is 04:25:34.160 --> 04:25:37.440 Gonna be real from Alex I never still on spawn so it could be a little bit of messing around 04:25:37.680 --> 04:25:39.680 I could give ever a team up to a laser 04:25:40.680 --> 04:25:42.520 One thing I want to point out 04:25:42.520 --> 04:25:49.720 Enzo, one of our few controller pro players we have here in EMEA, so if you're a lowler gamer, you are represented. 04:25:51.520 --> 04:25:59.520 Okay, Porto play from Biddle, they want to get in Nobby's face and maybe even get a quick scout, and they like their chances in this fight. 04:26:00.020 --> 04:26:05.520 Oh, that's a good isolation onto the game, they can follow up upon it though, Raja are going to be the first to go down, even with the additional 04:26:05.520 --> 04:26:09.680 Staying power in the vanguard gives Alex King going to pick up that final blow as well, 04:26:09.680 --> 04:26:14.400 means extra XP, already going to upgrade that headshot from the field pull, which is a huge 04:26:14.400 --> 04:26:18.160 play to Newsy Biggs down in jerky. Like I said, battle of the hyper flex is going to be important, 04:26:18.160 --> 04:26:22.080 Alex doesn't have that much health to try and deal with all of the incoming damage though, 04:26:22.080 --> 04:26:26.080 and a quick team-up from Beetle drags everyone in off the dark maelstrom, meaning that there's 04:26:26.080 --> 04:26:32.720 no escape for level 1 crew. A great first fight. And to win the first fight on this point in particular, 04:26:32.720 --> 04:26:37.280 it is such an annoying choke point to get through and that's why I don't blame trust me to not play 04:26:37.280 --> 04:26:41.440 better because you do not like low ceilings you would bump your head you need to help and then 04:26:41.440 --> 04:26:46.720 you've got this commanding bodyguard of a Hulk that you have to try and chunk through or you could 04:26:46.720 --> 04:26:52.080 just ignore it and not go through it but around it but hey they're getting through your back line 04:26:52.080 --> 04:26:56.560 three-man gang squad absolutely prove sort of try and deal with when you're being joined by a Hulk who's 04:26:56.560 --> 04:26:59.920 so difficult to displace and also can get the shield service everyone as well with those gamma 04:26:59.920 --> 04:27:04.240 charges. Look at all those. But remember, we're taking 20% less overall charge from 04:27:04.240 --> 04:27:08.640 many teams at the moment. The extra charge you get from those gamma shields is very substantial. 04:27:09.920 --> 04:27:16.800 And Naga on Invis is... I feel like I'm living a nightmare. The goat on Invis, but of course, 04:27:16.800 --> 04:27:21.040 is getting eliminations, like he's a duelist, and it's going to be important to pull these 04:27:22.720 --> 04:27:27.360 brawlers back into the fight when they try to escape. So, Navi getting through this choke 04:27:27.360 --> 04:27:33.300 is not great, but if you can get Terra on one of these windows, try and unleash a galactic 04:27:33.300 --> 04:27:36.140 legend that is not expected, but Tanuki's going to see this coming. 04:27:36.140 --> 04:27:40.020 Alright, already fun with Captain America, but can they try and take him down afterwards, 04:27:40.020 --> 04:27:44.260 Jerky, looking for an opening, but guess what, they're inside of the aura of the Deadpool. 04:27:44.260 --> 04:27:47.520 Doesn't do enough for Oasis, though, but there will be chains around you to connect Naga 04:27:47.520 --> 04:27:51.420 with a huge pressure, trust me, with a quick bounce from her by a brainy managing saw, whilst 04:27:51.420 --> 04:27:55.500 Tanuki can't be saved by the invisible boundary. It's a touch late from Naga, not too used 04:27:55.500 --> 04:28:00.060 of Australia's role that much. It's for sure it's off of the atom wall. Trust me, 04:28:00.060 --> 04:28:04.060 dancing for their life. A quick stun. I don't think anyone actually got hit by it. 04:28:04.060 --> 04:28:07.500 Level 1 quick, just dodging behind to make sure that anyone who does is instantly 04:28:07.500 --> 04:28:10.420 claimed as one of the region's Royal Flush. Because they don't have so much 04:28:10.420 --> 04:28:14.220 already given over here though. I think that Level 1 quick would have wanted to have won 04:28:14.220 --> 04:28:17.900 an entire fight off of this one. Team Heretics are desperately keeping this 04:28:17.900 --> 04:28:21.820 one contested at the front. The same there are so much HP to work with. 04:28:21.820 --> 04:28:29.260 And Jerky's getting on top of Naga, now the backliners have a huge danger, and Jerky gets a triple onto all three strategists. 04:28:29.260 --> 04:28:34.500 Huge recontest too from Enzo to pop the Hulk ultimate and to just squeeze out another 10%. 04:28:34.500 --> 04:28:40.180 Looks like you see Oasis all along to even drop a healing puddle just to have that extra survivability, 04:28:40.180 --> 04:28:45.780 but that would maybe just get them to 99% Jerky helping Navi get the foot in the door. 04:28:45.780 --> 04:28:51.680 But now they got a kick heretics in the dirt and make this a zero to a hundred to come back in 04:28:51.900 --> 04:28:56.000 Rajara could try and disable one of these strategists with the ban hammer 04:28:56.500 --> 04:28:58.740 But I don't know if Navi have the best tools 04:28:58.740 --> 04:29:01.660 It's got to be all eyes on Tara with the galactic legend 04:29:01.660 --> 04:29:04.500 But will he go unnoticed when Tanooki just has wall-hatch? 04:29:04.500 --> 04:29:09.620 Ex-Argos wide question is now who's got the skill that's replaced on public and from Rajara 04:29:09.620 --> 04:29:14.300 Beato for now just playing it conservatively bringing up the shield of a Sarah from a making sure verse the two heretics are safe 04:29:14.300 --> 04:29:21.160 Alex moving forward now with the epic times over the top. It's gonna be terror with a well-timed galactic legend 04:29:21.160 --> 04:29:22.340 They want to get on top of a level one quick 04:29:22.340 --> 04:29:27.340 There's gonna be no answer here for terror is ultimate except for taking out the remainder of the team three enemies with me 04:29:27.420 --> 04:29:32.020 They get unbelievable value off of it. It's Jeff. He's yummy yummy in his way three 04:29:32.020 --> 04:29:36.340 But now it's down to a 3v3 who can play it cleaner great strategist play here from the way 04:29:36.340 --> 04:29:39.180 This could be the big difference make to try and keep up the other two members 04:29:39.180 --> 04:29:44.060 But guess what? There's still healing coming through from Alex as well, who's over here on the heal pool. 04:29:44.060 --> 04:29:46.940 This forces out a TP re-engage from Beetle. 04:29:46.940 --> 04:29:49.820 Who's gonna try and block off those who are reinforcing this point? 04:29:50.380 --> 04:29:53.300 And Navi now have to surge ahead and they're getting blocked off. 04:29:53.300 --> 04:29:57.900 You need this raging royal flush from Kirk to be invested or to maybe save her for the next round. 04:29:57.900 --> 04:30:00.820 But Navi, need to push heretics to the distance. 04:30:01.260 --> 04:30:02.700 Oh, this is not a good opening here. 04:30:02.700 --> 04:30:05.740 They're thinking only find some way to use the X-Jap out, comes the gap. 04:30:05.740 --> 04:30:08.060 But ultimately we've seen it decide so many fights previously. 04:30:08.060 --> 04:30:13.060 But look at all that Jeff utility on the floor. There's so much healing to just stay in place for Team Heretics. 04:30:13.060 --> 04:30:18.060 And now in towards the back, one stun goes through, one to Terra. On the signature Wolverine, the peel is good. 04:30:18.060 --> 04:30:21.860 Jerky just needs to escape from the midflex already being taken. The healing's not there. 04:30:21.860 --> 04:30:29.660 Peace will get again close as a big E to blast upon them. And Team Heretics, they proved Fates 200-0's prediction wrong for now. 04:30:29.660 --> 04:30:34.500 Man, you have Navi a little bit off their game. 04:30:34.500 --> 04:30:40.540 You're forcing them into, well, heroes they don't typically play every day, so it's kind 04:30:40.540 --> 04:30:42.460 of a weird one. 04:30:42.460 --> 04:30:46.420 And trust me on the Captain America, this is just, maybe this will be a better one for 04:30:46.420 --> 04:30:49.340 Benham, but still, you're just trying to cause a ruckus. 04:30:49.340 --> 04:30:53.660 That first point win or first fight win from Heretics being able to defend to like what, 04:30:53.660 --> 04:30:58.780 94% or something does set the the tone for the whole map or the whole 04:30:58.980 --> 04:31:02.420 Brown I should say and I've been a big fan of Enzo on the whole 04:31:02.420 --> 04:31:08.620 We also don't get to see strategist pool every day and allies gets to provide this healing aura with this death ball 04:31:08.620 --> 04:31:13.900 That goes along with team heretics and not going to was will stick on the in this because you know 04:31:13.900 --> 04:31:17.500 We are you seeing him on the mantis that's not going to be an option either is the gambit 04:31:17.500 --> 04:31:23.340 So heretics are doing what they can and what they got and guess what this comp is only getting stronger now because now Alex is 04:31:23.340 --> 04:31:27.940 can be rolling out with multiple upgrades to the heal pool at the beginning of these fights. 04:31:27.940 --> 04:31:32.420 Speedup doesn't have an early TP engage mind, there's just going to be playing him a neutral 04:31:32.420 --> 04:31:33.420 with the Doctor Strange here. 04:31:33.420 --> 04:31:36.220 One of the few players we're seeing bring out the neutral Doctor Strange outside of 04:31:36.220 --> 04:31:37.220 the year we lost. 04:31:37.220 --> 04:31:43.260 Of course, a dead pull is cussing away, but I think Navi are going to be the ones cussing 04:31:43.260 --> 04:31:47.020 if they don't win this round and it's time for Fade to make the claim. 04:31:47.020 --> 04:31:50.860 So this is one of the best rounds when it comes to Jeth ultimates because there's a 04:31:50.860 --> 04:31:56.160 that you can drop the most of the team off and fate had quite the showing and had the better Jeff ultimate 04:31:56.160 --> 04:31:58.660 I would say but it's heretics that won the war at the end of the day 04:31:59.220 --> 04:32:02.900 I got a close and personal a little shield to try and mess with some of the healing at OS 04:32:02.900 --> 04:32:07.500 Roger we're getting close to that skill if you want to put it on top of Naga that much is for certain 04:32:07.500 --> 04:32:12.580 But it's gonna be good healing coming from Alex on the other side the whole trade to smash the world ready to be broken 04:32:12.580 --> 04:32:16.300 Indeed it might be a surprise if team heretics walks away from this one with a W 04:32:16.300 --> 04:32:21.300 So now if he's still letting me down, well, Alba Beats will find himself exposed and alone, trying to keep this point from being contested. 04:32:21.300 --> 04:32:28.300 Now he's down to some new key with a quick billy club. Attempts at a reflection, but Jerky in the end just gets it all done. 04:32:29.300 --> 04:32:34.300 Jerky's not even done with you yet. He won't even let you tell Cersei it was him. 04:32:35.300 --> 04:32:40.300 And now Navi can lean towards trying to build up this royal flush as soon as possible. 04:32:40.300 --> 04:32:57.300 Terra now on the Bucky. We've talked about this being a sort of counter dive, um, a hero that you can use to pull and hook people in and having a strong neutral, but if he gets run down, he's also very vulnerable targets, looking towards heretics to maybe put more bio on Terra on this Bucky. 04:32:57.300 --> 04:32:59.300 Lucky 04:33:27.300 --> 04:33:34.160 Instantly here by a laces no time to throw them off the map but don't want to engage routine heretics after capturing the high grounds 04:33:34.320 --> 04:33:37.320 Very successful vibe just immediately immediately 04:33:37.680 --> 04:33:43.520 Eliminating two strategists you cannot ask for anything better than that not be tried to do the same thing eliminated naga 04:33:43.640 --> 04:33:50.040 But still the heritage firepower the teamwork is so good and the exile when you catch someone out of positioning 04:33:50.040 --> 04:33:56.520 That is the most punishing ability you can have on hold so team heretics have to defend like their life 04:33:56.520 --> 04:34:00.120 depends on it and of course you have an Ayabhagamotto. 04:34:00.120 --> 04:34:04.440 Beetle has nothing that could push him away but the initiative is the ball is 04:34:04.440 --> 04:34:08.040 in crook's side on when he wants to activate the Royal Flush. 04:34:08.040 --> 04:34:11.640 On the objective pressure, how comes the Raking Royal Flush? This is the moment to try and win 04:34:11.640 --> 04:34:14.600 from the side of Navi. We've got a huge ultimate to try and work with here and no 04:34:14.600 --> 04:34:17.960 stuns come through from Beetle's Ayabhagamotto. It's an open eye but they ain't 04:34:17.960 --> 04:34:21.480 seeing nothing for now and Navi have used a huge amount of their uptime to 04:34:21.480 --> 04:34:24.680 achieve absolutely nothing. Terry gets isolated, in comes the skill, 04:34:24.680 --> 04:34:29.880 I'm trying to focus down the I imagine yes sure if he's giving more to find that has to be seen days temporarily 04:34:30.040 --> 04:34:32.640 To try and find sort of this incoming damage 04:34:32.720 --> 04:34:37.960 They pulls in your area and you found it out the hard way to look you a blast through back of the heads and Roger 04:34:37.960 --> 04:34:40.440 Who's supposed to flee mind of staggering themselves for this? 04:34:41.920 --> 04:34:47.680 You can't underestimate the damage that a doctor strange can do when he's surrounded by people 04:34:47.680 --> 04:34:49.560 just go crazy for Beetle. 04:34:49.560 --> 04:34:51.880 Not getting much on the eye of 04:34:51.880 --> 04:34:54.080 Agamotto, but it's again the teamwork 04:34:54.080 --> 04:34:56.200 and also the healing aura of the 04:34:56.200 --> 04:34:58.400 strap pull that Alex brings to the 04:34:58.400 --> 04:34:59.760 table. Look towards it. 04:34:59.760 --> 04:35:01.640 Heretics to maybe create a safe 04:35:01.640 --> 04:35:03.320 phase behind the invisible boundary 04:35:03.320 --> 04:35:05.440 and for Tanuki to find this way 04:35:05.440 --> 04:35:06.880 into the back line here. 04:35:06.880 --> 04:35:08.400 Navi come out the iron fist 04:35:08.400 --> 04:35:10.040 against the Hulk here works out 04:35:10.040 --> 04:35:11.640 and then his melee fights a little 04:35:11.640 --> 04:35:13.040 bit better already with freedom 04:35:13.040 --> 04:35:14.480 charge rolling forward trust me, 04:35:14.480 --> 04:35:15.760 giving everyone additional damage. 04:35:15.760 --> 04:35:17.060 Look at this, a perfectly 04:35:17.060 --> 04:35:21.300 It has a little bastion, a readout on the point to make sure that they can keep this one contested. 04:35:21.300 --> 04:35:25.060 Jerky drops in from the top, and there's the fully charged E coming through from Dr Strange. 04:35:25.060 --> 04:35:28.140 The dark maelstrom has room to be at least, but on to who? On to Jerky! 04:35:28.140 --> 04:35:31.500 Shots down the ultimate to themselves, and Alex is giving over a huge amount of fuel. 04:35:31.500 --> 04:35:33.500 Can they find the jackpot off the back of this? 04:35:33.500 --> 04:35:38.100 It's gonna be a little bit difficult to make it happen, but waiting for the headshot as well in the midst of it all. 04:35:38.100 --> 04:35:43.220 In comes Fates attempt to coordinate with the itch Jeff, but it's not gonna be grabbing many of the enemies and said, 04:35:43.220 --> 04:35:45.640 Trust me, just get a hunt down Alex. 04:35:45.640 --> 04:35:47.980 Only the Hulk is caught up in here by fate, 04:35:47.980 --> 04:35:49.820 and of course you cannot get the bounce back 04:35:49.820 --> 04:35:51.820 inside of the air. 04:35:51.820 --> 04:35:54.820 There should be Navi claiming the point. 04:35:54.820 --> 04:35:57.260 Oh, this is going at the distance, 04:35:57.260 --> 04:36:00.620 and an iron fist, Nagaon, and this woman. 04:36:00.620 --> 04:36:02.980 We got Shrapool, like, it feels like 04:36:02.980 --> 04:36:05.660 April Fool's was today. 04:36:05.660 --> 04:36:08.500 But this is what is so fun about this meta, 04:36:08.500 --> 04:36:10.900 and what's gonna be fun is watching Navi 04:36:10.900 --> 04:36:14.440 probably just win a fight off of a deraging royal flush. 04:36:14.440 --> 04:36:17.100 But Team Heretics have tried to throw the Eye of Agamotto 04:36:17.100 --> 04:36:19.700 to disrupt that surge that Navi has, 04:36:19.700 --> 04:36:22.060 although Beetle got zero last time. 04:36:22.060 --> 04:36:24.300 He's hoping to get six more this time. 04:36:24.300 --> 04:36:25.860 Okay, I'm fisting Gambit. 04:36:25.860 --> 04:36:28.300 Raging Royal Dragon is available, 04:36:28.300 --> 04:36:29.980 and there's not much to try and shut it down. 04:36:29.980 --> 04:36:31.980 Trust me, already it's the isolation. 04:36:31.980 --> 04:36:34.460 The Gambit Rex are moving on through already. 04:36:34.460 --> 04:36:35.660 You see the skill issue as well. 04:36:35.660 --> 04:36:37.260 Great shielding coming from Venso, 04:36:37.260 --> 04:36:38.800 but now it's not gonna be around to be with Terra 04:36:38.800 --> 04:36:40.300 and level one crook already. 04:36:40.300 --> 04:36:44.600 It's going to be the dragon moving on in, but I think the damage has already been done. 04:36:44.600 --> 04:36:51.200 Level and purpose feel the need to invest in this one at 99% they'd rather use it to win out the first fight on the next point. 04:36:51.200 --> 04:36:54.900 And it's a great response from Navi here. Heads up, Slop from Terra. 04:36:56.400 --> 04:37:02.400 Round three, and we said this was going to be a slugfest. I did not mean it literally. 04:37:02.400 --> 04:37:08.300 With the iron fist daredevil running down composition with Captain America. 04:37:08.300 --> 04:37:14.300 This is, I wouldn't say like a crazy strength from Navi, just because they've run so much of the Venom dive, 04:37:14.300 --> 04:37:21.800 but Jerky, you can kind of build a composition around him and his strengths and Terra as flexible as ever. 04:37:21.800 --> 04:37:27.800 So, Navi forced the third round and they're sticking to what won them the second round in the first place. 04:37:29.300 --> 04:37:32.300 That was a great comeback there from Navi. 04:37:32.300 --> 04:37:38.460 And I love how Terra identified with the Iron Fist ult, Team Heretic's playing very tight. 04:37:38.460 --> 04:37:40.860 They are playing quite the death ball composition at the moment. 04:37:40.860 --> 04:37:45.300 If they're going to play that tightly together, you can get a lot of damage from the Dragon Unleashed 04:37:45.300 --> 04:37:51.260 because it's got extended range, PSS through multiple players, and does percentage of HP damage. 04:37:54.380 --> 04:37:59.040 Man, this Enzo guy is bulky and Team Heretic's up to their shenanigans, 04:37:59.040 --> 04:38:05.960 Bortling through and if you can win the first fight here, this is again a very difficult map and around to retake afterwards 04:38:05.960 --> 04:38:12.640 But team heritage have also identified fate and the and crooks so well on these dives 04:38:12.640 --> 04:38:15.560 They're gonna take the high ground first and command the fight if they can 04:38:15.560 --> 04:38:20.000 Oh, but early there they only have to capture a point off of this one already jerky's in position 04:38:20.000 --> 04:38:25.480 Can't afford to be isolated gets pulled back and server rating royal flush is deployed to make sure that team heritage is comfortable fighting 04:38:29.040 --> 04:38:34.880 Unbelievable and if you've got no claims because you were forced to try extricate jerky from that position with your gambit ultimate 04:38:34.880 --> 04:38:37.080 What are you gonna do about it? It's so rare 04:38:37.080 --> 04:38:42.360 We see a good eye mega moto in pro play with how much counterplay there is but that was not billy simo 04:38:43.080 --> 04:38:48.540 Utifly of like a motorized I said and Alex is able to pop the final exam by healing order of the strap 04:38:48.540 --> 04:38:53.920 Pull every single fight and this is not something I've seen Alex play a lot of it's not sure 04:38:53.920 --> 04:38:57.120 We don't see a strat pull at all, so it's innovation. 04:38:57.120 --> 04:38:59.800 And it's a master class from Naratix as they hope to defend. 04:38:59.800 --> 04:39:00.840 But you don't want to overextend. 04:39:00.840 --> 04:39:02.920 But someone like Beetle can bring the shield up 04:39:02.920 --> 04:39:04.720 at a moment's notice. 04:39:04.720 --> 04:39:07.920 Just working so well in tandem with Enzo. 04:39:07.920 --> 04:39:10.160 The worst case, you got Naga with the invisible boundary, 04:39:10.160 --> 04:39:12.320 but oh, fate is trying to claim. 04:39:12.320 --> 04:39:13.880 And Juki gets away from it for now. 04:39:13.880 --> 04:39:15.600 Varus going to be an attempt to try and claim the point 04:39:15.600 --> 04:39:16.200 in the background. 04:39:16.200 --> 04:39:17.200 Yeah, there's a back cover. 04:39:17.200 --> 04:39:18.200 How long will it last? 04:39:18.200 --> 04:39:19.640 Well, the invisible boundary, I think, 04:39:19.640 --> 04:39:21.360 might be a little bit unnecessary. 04:39:21.360 --> 04:39:23.120 Naga might want that one back. 04:39:23.120 --> 04:39:25.680 Because now he's going to try and deal with Jerk, he's ultimate as well. 04:39:25.680 --> 04:39:28.000 Do they really have enough sustainability to try and make this one work? 04:39:28.000 --> 04:39:30.640 Well, I don't know if they've really got enough fuels to try and make it happen. 04:39:30.640 --> 04:39:33.440 There are only three of them there, Raja is already down, trust me. 04:39:33.440 --> 04:39:35.600 Yay, he's playing around the back-hand side here. 04:39:35.600 --> 04:39:39.920 Tera's going to try and TP back to bring some of the strategist back into the fight. 04:39:39.920 --> 04:39:42.560 And right now, Biddle's just holding up for sure to the Sericum. 04:39:42.560 --> 04:39:44.640 Blocking off the incoming healing from fate. 04:39:44.640 --> 04:39:48.160 Seems like Navi's Gambit has worked out to try and make this one happen. 04:39:48.160 --> 04:39:50.240 Final exam, once more, pop from Alex. 04:39:50.240 --> 04:39:52.240 It's a huge amount of healing, and if he can hit the jackpot, 04:39:52.240 --> 04:39:55.760 And everyone's gonna get so much over how tanky they are. 04:39:55.760 --> 04:39:59.880 And well, Tanuki finds out the gambit, it's not quite so tanky in comparison. 04:39:59.880 --> 04:40:00.880 And so they're gonna get closer. 04:40:00.880 --> 04:40:01.880 What a thick! 04:40:01.880 --> 04:40:03.880 This guy's unbelievable! 04:40:03.880 --> 04:40:07.000 Imagine quite the exile there on the face. 04:40:07.000 --> 04:40:09.640 You didn't know what quite spit it. 04:40:09.640 --> 04:40:11.560 Oh, the jackpot was so huge. 04:40:11.560 --> 04:40:14.960 And Tanuki knew to unleash pedal to the metal. 04:40:14.960 --> 04:40:19.160 And Full sent it on Navi, who had just been trying to match like blow for blow. 04:40:19.160 --> 04:40:22.760 Abiterra was on Iron Fist, the try and brawl against this. 04:40:22.760 --> 04:40:25.700 And now, Bob and I have automotive his own. 04:40:25.700 --> 04:40:28.780 Dr. Strange, you know, see that from Tara too often, 04:40:28.780 --> 04:40:31.820 but trying to find a solution, the answer to Heretics 04:40:31.820 --> 04:40:33.860 is now Heretics have taken the lead, 04:40:33.860 --> 04:40:35.980 and this is round three, here it goes. 04:40:35.980 --> 04:40:37.860 All guests here, it's a little bit hydro-unpaired, 04:40:37.860 --> 04:40:40.500 Marcus already down, Oasis sinks down underneath 04:40:40.500 --> 04:40:42.060 and tries to eat up some of the opposition, 04:40:42.060 --> 04:40:44.580 but the LOS is good to try and dodge it. 04:40:44.580 --> 04:40:46.700 Fates easily there to try and deal with it, 04:40:46.700 --> 04:40:48.420 and Enzo does have plenty of HP, 04:40:48.420 --> 04:40:53.920 And one versus six is not going to be lasting for long, and puny battle lasts even lesser time. 04:40:54.520 --> 04:41:00.120 And you get to start off the next fight with the raging royal flash, and Tanuki is 50% away, 04:41:00.120 --> 04:41:05.320 so that is going to be a big difference, maker, in terms of who will be able to pull the trigger first. 04:41:05.320 --> 04:41:10.620 Navi's going to steal away the lead, and they're already on different comfort picks than usual. 04:41:10.620 --> 04:41:17.320 Same thing with heretics, a lot of flexing has to happen, and these are the two best teams in the group, and it's time to prove it. 04:41:17.320 --> 04:41:21.160 All the approach of Daredevil has already been waylaid for now. That gives an opening, 04:41:21.160 --> 04:41:24.840 taught him how to be beautiful, without their backline being too thoroughly accosted. 04:41:24.840 --> 04:41:28.600 Nuki has the ability to give them each for their own, but Navi has the most important ultimate here. 04:41:28.600 --> 04:41:33.080 It's going to be the Gambit with the ability to put down the skill issue. It's going to be Rajarot 04:41:33.080 --> 04:41:37.160 taking down Alex, making sure that every miss is thoroughly punished. And with level 1 quick, 04:41:37.160 --> 04:41:41.080 he's going to hold onto this raging royal flush. Navi in a fantastic position to win the map. 04:41:41.080 --> 04:41:48.840 And Navi did not even have to use the raging royal flush, but the Hail Mary from Team Heretics, 04:41:48.840 --> 04:41:53.440 Beatles still looking for an Eye of Agamotto, but he has to set his team up for the long haul. 04:41:53.440 --> 04:41:56.640 Watch out for this! Trust me, he's pushing the max! 04:42:11.080 --> 04:42:29.900 I was worried when Beatle didn't use the Hayabaga motor if we were waiting for Marvel 04:42:29.900 --> 04:42:35.300 Rivals 2, but it doesn't matter, that will be what's on the menu coming up, along with 04:42:35.300 --> 04:42:40.260 Oasis who can leave a puddle behind to try and get it's Jeff going, but Tanuki is tracking 04:42:40.260 --> 04:42:46.420 exactly where these Na'Vi rotations are coming from. It's two eyes of Agabotto and only one will 04:42:46.420 --> 04:42:51.780 remain at the end of the day. Final fight for the map. I got both my eyes open. I'm not sure if I 04:42:51.780 --> 04:42:55.940 can believe them though. Beesolus getting so close and so dangerous, great shielding from both of 04:42:55.940 --> 04:42:59.940 Vanguard. There are so many layers of protection there and Beesolus can now just hang above it, 04:42:59.940 --> 04:43:04.820 come into my territory. I'm ready to greet you. Outcome of Stamford to Zerky and Rujaro. The 04:43:04.820 --> 04:43:07.680 The shutdown is good, Kamazaro survived through this! 04:43:07.680 --> 04:43:12.720 Even with the debuff, for skill issues, no issue when you're looking like Marga right now. 04:43:12.720 --> 04:43:16.340 And trust me, we'll stand alone against Vatidam or Marga or fall on down. 04:43:16.340 --> 04:43:19.340 I don't think there's enough soldiers here from Marbi. 04:43:19.340 --> 04:43:23.220 The jersey might say born to win, but Team Heretics are playing for the vibes. 04:43:23.220 --> 04:43:25.640 And the vibes are looking sublime right now. 04:43:25.640 --> 04:43:27.080 Jerky opens up a portal. 04:43:27.080 --> 04:43:28.860 It's gonna be our second recon test, coming on through. 04:43:28.860 --> 04:43:30.580 Rajra is already falling down super low. 04:43:30.580 --> 04:43:31.980 Out comes the final exam. 04:43:31.980 --> 04:43:34.820 He's gonna give over so much HP, taking through the sky 04:43:34.820 --> 04:43:36.920 With a quick dash, can fit even a safe 04:43:36.920 --> 04:43:38.760 Tracer's staying the moment towards their own spawn 04:43:38.760 --> 04:43:41.200 Because he's like everyone's escaped from the other side 04:43:41.200 --> 04:43:43.500 Beetle getting in close in burst, not well charged 04:43:43.500 --> 04:43:46.200 He will tear through their flesh and bones alike 04:43:46.200 --> 04:43:49.160 And to no avail is unlikely to let fate escape from this one 04:43:49.160 --> 04:43:51.200 It's a little bit of a BM kill in the back 04:43:51.200 --> 04:43:54.280 But where are the reinforcements gonna come from for Na'Vi? 04:43:54.280 --> 04:43:57.000 They face up against the green minutes of the Hulk 04:43:57.000 --> 04:44:00.120 And what a series of plays from Heretics 04:44:00.120 --> 04:44:01.720 They take the first map 04:44:01.980 --> 04:44:09.980 They bring innovation to the table and it delivers a win. The Strap Pool, Naga on Indiz, 04:44:09.980 --> 04:44:15.980 Tanuki on something that's not Cylok and beating the competition in the dirt. 04:44:15.980 --> 04:44:21.980 And wow, not only was the Strap Pool just never really seen and ignite, but it gets MVP 04:44:21.980 --> 04:44:26.980 and so well deserved from Alex topping that final exam nearly every fight, 04:44:26.980 --> 04:44:31.540 by turning the death ball into a death train and the stats don't lie, 04:44:31.540 --> 04:44:35.540 Tanuki with 24 final hits almost 30k damage, 04:44:35.540 --> 04:44:37.540 an absolute menace out there. 04:44:38.040 --> 04:44:40.820 I mean, hey, if you want to try and ban the Vanguard Pool 04:44:40.820 --> 04:44:43.380 so we don't get the Jeff team up, did you forget there's two others? 04:44:43.380 --> 04:44:45.300 And apparently Alex is crazy at them. 04:44:45.300 --> 04:44:49.620 I know that Alex has a huge history in competitive FPS as a great aimer, 04:44:49.620 --> 04:44:55.220 really leveraging it super well by playing a very accuracy orientated hero 04:44:55.220 --> 04:45:01.220 like the Deadpool strategist and obviously like you said the final exams being here every time 04:45:01.220 --> 04:45:05.460 really maximizing the uptime as well waiting like the entire eight seconds during the ultimate 04:45:05.460 --> 04:45:09.620 to hit the jackpot and get another eight seconds making it the longest stretch just ultimate in 04:45:09.620 --> 04:45:16.980 the game if you manage to absolutely pop off with the uh with the hitting the jackpot but we did see 04:45:16.980 --> 04:45:23.620 these strike backs from Nabi who in television is really very intelligent they had great plans for 04:45:23.620 --> 04:45:26.920 fates its jest from Enzo's Bubbles in particular. 04:45:26.920 --> 04:45:31.720 Yeah, and Navi were so flustered trying to swap so many different dualists and getting 04:45:31.720 --> 04:45:35.820 portals in non-stop, I just can't believe the jerky versus the newbie. 04:45:35.820 --> 04:45:40.720 I could watch that all day and night and Perakren find the solution, putting it all on himself 04:45:40.720 --> 04:45:42.720 at clients to save the day. 04:45:42.720 --> 04:45:46.720 That first map goes to Heratix and we were in for an absolute free. 04:45:46.720 --> 04:45:52.320 It sucks if this is only a best of three because we could watch this all day, but it will be 04:45:52.320 --> 04:45:59.320 now knobby with the toys on fat coming up next so I don't want to go anywhere. 04:47:22.320 --> 04:47:24.320 I 04:48:52.320 --> 04:48:58.560 200 to 0 unfortunately for team Navi on that one but as you guys were talking about it we have our 04:48:58.560 --> 04:49:04.240 experts here for a reason. Team Heretics is that dive team and they proved it in loads throughout 04:49:04.240 --> 04:49:08.960 that first map on Hell's Heaven. Getting the first map win against Navi and actually the first 04:49:08.960 --> 04:49:15.520 time we've seen them drop a dumb map so far here Lemon. That was I think one for the books easily 04:49:15.520 --> 04:49:23.840 the funnest map to watch of the whole day. Tanuki pretty much set up camp in the opponent's 04:49:23.840 --> 04:49:30.320 backline. Tanuki is so strong with the flankers and why this heretics team is not necessarily 04:49:30.320 --> 04:49:35.520 venom-pilled but very flank-heavy and then you combine that with Enzo. Every time you're out 04:49:35.520 --> 04:49:39.920 of position he's hitting you with an exile. Then you have this healing aura of the Deadpool, 04:49:39.920 --> 04:49:44.960 the Strap Pool that we've really never seen in the night. So Ali's showing us just how the 04:49:44.960 --> 04:49:46.960 the death wall properly around that. 04:49:46.960 --> 04:49:50.740 Like big honesty, if you want to get anyone's mother out of these sports, if you need to 04:49:50.740 --> 04:49:52.520 show them one map, show them that one. 04:49:52.520 --> 04:49:55.240 That was an absolute GIGABANGER of a match. 04:49:55.240 --> 04:49:56.840 So many unique hero picks. 04:49:56.840 --> 04:49:59.000 We had a Strat Pool, we had a Hulk. 04:49:59.000 --> 04:50:00.400 I love casting a Hulk. 04:50:00.400 --> 04:50:03.300 Hulk is like one of the most skill-expressive heroes in this game. 04:50:03.300 --> 04:50:07.440 So hard to get the value from, but if you're a good Hulk, you are God. 04:50:07.440 --> 04:50:08.440 You are Jesus. 04:50:08.440 --> 04:50:09.440 You are omnipotent. 04:50:09.440 --> 04:50:12.840 And Enzo certainly was on his Jesus train on that map. 04:50:12.840 --> 04:50:19.480 Yeah, I mean this is the first time we've seen Shrap for at least in EMEA. We did see it sometimes in America specifically from YWL 04:50:19.480 --> 04:50:23.320 I gotta give a shout out to C because she said this pretty much best in some DMs 04:50:23.320 --> 04:50:27.400 I have referred she basically said that was one YWF special hold the spider-man 04:50:28.280 --> 04:50:31.800 Basically what we saw with this map from team heretics 04:50:31.800 --> 04:50:37.160 But it's nice to see that tactics that are kind of an orthodox that you see catch teams off our guard in other regions 04:50:37.160 --> 04:50:42.200 now being brought in into EMEA, making that flexibility even more apparent from this region. 04:50:42.200 --> 04:50:46.520 That's what we want to see for teams to try and take it against the best of the best, but 04:50:46.520 --> 04:50:51.240 we do have a pretty spicy map on our hands coming up pretty soon. We got a little bit of a preview, 04:50:51.240 --> 04:50:55.000 we'll show it in just a moment, but just talking a bit about potentials, Lemon, 04:50:55.000 --> 04:50:58.040 I mean, what have we seen so far in terms of countermaps from Navi? 04:50:58.840 --> 04:51:02.360 Navi, I mean, the only time they ever lost, which was only once, they went to Museum of 04:51:02.360 --> 04:51:08.000 of contemplation. They want to go as large of a map as possible, try and give some space 04:51:08.000 --> 04:51:13.920 for someone to trust me to Venom dive from who knows where. So the larger the map, the 04:51:13.920 --> 04:51:14.920 better for Navi. 04:51:14.920 --> 04:51:20.200 Yeah, and we kind of seen some bit of a crux you could say on relying so much on the Venom 04:51:20.200 --> 04:51:25.120 dive, especially on the frontline 14 Navi. So that might be why Team Heretics felt so 04:51:25.120 --> 04:51:30.480 confident on the last one, but leg day, tell us the lore of all the Jalya for Navi. 04:51:30.480 --> 04:51:33.840 This is a big glory map for Na'Vi. 04:51:33.840 --> 04:51:39.280 Back when they were Team Rand, this was the first ever map that Virtus.Pro dropped in competition. 04:51:39.280 --> 04:51:43.160 It was to this very roster across Sands Terror at the time. 04:51:43.160 --> 04:51:48.440 This is where they made giants, where they made Celestials bleed, and they're hoping 04:51:48.440 --> 04:51:52.160 to use it to get back into this series as well because of course taking a convergence 04:51:52.160 --> 04:51:55.800 off the table is very important because it means you can't be taken to Central Park where 04:51:55.800 --> 04:51:57.800 they had the Littlest of the Trauma. 04:51:57.800 --> 04:52:00.920 Oh my gosh, I didn't even think about that going into this one as well 04:52:00.920 --> 04:52:05.720 So big brain plays from team Navi making it so that they don't even have to worry about it 04:52:05.720 --> 04:52:09.860 Especially in the best of three of course once we go to the best of fives or the playoffs and beyond 04:52:09.860 --> 04:52:11.640 It's a bit of a different ballgame there 04:52:11.640 --> 04:52:17.220 But this works well to their strategy to try and reverse sweep per se this at best of three 04:52:17.220 --> 04:52:21.760 But team Navi and team heretics going to be giving it their all 04:52:21.760 --> 04:52:25.000 We'll see if team heretics can get the 2-0 sweep themselves or if Navi 04:52:25.000 --> 04:52:27.760 We're going to fight back to the nail to type the series 04:52:31.600 --> 04:52:35.380 I think if this goes poorly there's going to be some 04:52:35.840 --> 04:52:42.320 introspection amongst those viewers and not even services that where their adaptability is in question because they have 04:52:42.560 --> 04:52:45.480 They have lost maps to unexpected strategies 04:52:45.480 --> 04:52:50.400 You know like the weird stuff from team heretics on Hydra base and of course the other map they lost was to Shikigami 04:52:50.400 --> 04:52:52.520 army against the weird triple flyer. 04:52:52.520 --> 04:52:54.800 They didn't seem to have an answer for just yet, 04:52:54.800 --> 04:52:57.760 and maybe they need to get a wider birth of cops against them 04:52:57.760 --> 04:53:00.160 in their scrims, as once again, team Heretics 04:53:00.160 --> 04:53:03.440 are going to see Navi protect the vanguard pool. 04:53:03.440 --> 04:53:06.760 And Heretics, we haven't seen a lot of Venom die from them, 04:53:06.760 --> 04:53:08.920 and that's really going to be the best vanguard option 04:53:08.920 --> 04:53:10.480 to take advantage of all the space, 04:53:10.480 --> 04:53:13.360 or at least to get through it as fast as possible. 04:53:13.360 --> 04:53:15.880 And we've seen so much of the beetle captain America, 04:53:15.880 --> 04:53:18.480 even on something like the Museum of Contemplation. 04:53:18.480 --> 04:53:24.960 find a way to squeak into your back line. And Enzo's Hulk is a nice budget venom if you will. 04:53:25.520 --> 04:53:30.240 Quite far with those strong green legs, okay? But where does someone like Terra land? 04:53:30.240 --> 04:53:33.920 Because he has played just every duelist it feels like under the sun. 04:53:35.120 --> 04:53:39.920 It kind of depends. I feel like he's been more on the counter picks rather than maybe 04:53:40.640 --> 04:53:43.520 trying to slot in on his comforts and being the best at it. 04:53:43.520 --> 04:53:50.520 Okay, first protect this time on to Mantis, I mean, but Naga is a fantastic Mantis player as well. 04:53:50.520 --> 04:53:54.520 And you know what, if Naga wants to play Mantis, we're going to take away the Invis, 04:53:54.520 --> 04:53:57.520 there are a lot of professional Invis players on Team Heretic. 04:53:57.520 --> 04:54:05.520 So it's a rather valuable band, but this might force out a protective something like a bandit, potentially, 04:54:05.520 --> 04:54:09.520 unless you really want to make sure that the Strat Pool is in, or even an Ultron Protect here. 04:54:09.520 --> 04:54:13.640 here. If it is an Ultron Protective and maybe Nava needs to do some additional groundwork 04:54:13.640 --> 04:54:16.560 here to try and make sure they didn't go up against that triple flyer composition again, 04:54:16.560 --> 04:54:20.520 which was a little bit stressful. Ah, some of them went up against Shikigami and couldn't 04:54:20.520 --> 04:54:23.720 quite figure it out in time. 04:54:23.720 --> 04:54:28.080 The strongest part, I think, about Nava, I mean, pick your poison, but I'm a huge fan 04:54:28.080 --> 04:54:33.960 of Crook and Fate and how they've really innovated in terms of the strategies picks, but you 04:54:33.960 --> 04:54:40.280 just don't want to let that game go through for crook because that will be a next level crazy 04:54:40.280 --> 04:54:44.600 for it. Navi, especially when you up for us. Me, who's going to be as aggressive as he is and 04:54:45.960 --> 04:54:50.200 very lucky that you're going to have Naga back on his signature Mantis like you already mentioned 04:54:50.200 --> 04:54:54.280 because the stronger the poke you have on a large map like Hall of the Jolly, the better. 04:54:55.240 --> 04:55:01.960 Okay, the threat of a Vanguard pool is a little bit too high. And so Gambit is going to make it 04:55:01.960 --> 04:55:07.240 through the band phase, unaccosted, no protect required. There's a world here where team 04:55:07.240 --> 04:55:12.600 heritage go from one sided star lord so they have the better gambit alt combo. What do 04:55:12.600 --> 04:55:17.160 they wish to take something else? Away from a stable of Na'Vi, potentially getting rid 04:55:17.160 --> 04:55:21.560 of fates jeff. This isn't the best jeff map to be honest, not a huge amount of environmental 04:55:21.560 --> 04:55:26.480 frag spots but it would be fully decked out with a pair of team ups given how much we 04:55:26.480 --> 04:55:36.040 me like oh no oh no no no no oh no it's the we don't care aura no pig 04:55:36.040 --> 04:55:41.520 misson no man they flashed our lord but they ran out of time 04:55:42.060 --> 04:55:46.780 boys let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's 04:55:46.780 --> 04:55:50.440 we forgot to do our ban let's 04:55:50.440 --> 04:55:57.060 Oh jeez well let's lock in let's well lock into the game that's not lock in our 04:55:57.060 --> 04:56:03.960 bands we'll do that another day maybe focus on Tanuki on the Star Lord man 04:56:03.960 --> 04:56:08.040 did he have an MVP like performance got out shadowed out shadowed by his 04:56:08.040 --> 04:56:13.240 strategist last map but Tanuki has been a my doublest to watch as a top 04:56:13.240 --> 04:56:19.960 contender here in EMP I think I'm in shock 04:56:20.440 --> 04:56:49.720 I was going to say, Naga is usually the star lord player and man is he ever aggressive 04:56:49.720 --> 04:56:57.520 on it, especially on Domination and Tanuki. This is the Psylocke I've been promised, okay? 04:56:57.520 --> 04:57:02.440 And Navi are gonna have to watch out. Namely, they have to turn around because Ban Heretics 04:57:02.440 --> 04:57:08.240 were all over their backline on the previous map. Now Enzo's ready to set the tone. Swinging 04:57:08.240 --> 04:57:12.480 out actually, as Biddle may be the one who starts to harass the strat of this. 04:57:12.480 --> 04:57:16.480 Last month's good. You can already see the symbolic challenge coming on through from Jeff. 04:57:16.480 --> 04:57:19.780 Brings everyone forward with extra over health to make sure they have that survivability. 04:57:19.780 --> 04:57:21.780 But now, where from the team has it been used from Jeff? 04:57:21.780 --> 04:57:24.980 There's going to be the opening for Team Heritage to try and claim back this space. 04:57:24.980 --> 04:57:27.880 But the aggression from Trust Me is doing so much in towards the back, 04:57:27.880 --> 04:57:32.280 people trying to get some value, but I think fate's going to be able to move away in short order. 04:57:32.280 --> 04:57:34.180 Jerky gets picked up from amongst the crowd vote. 04:57:34.180 --> 04:57:37.480 Amazing aim for Enzo. A frenzy arrival to get on top of the gambit. 04:57:37.480 --> 04:57:42.600 this engaging solid that Bayou's spin gets them out of there and three direct hits from 04:57:42.600 --> 04:57:48.880 play is unbelievable, DPS on to Vito. No chance for a resurrection in comes with skillish, 04:57:48.880 --> 04:57:53.000 why I imagine that was put on to one of the strategists coming through from Rajiro there 04:57:53.000 --> 04:57:57.440 and Jerky's coming back on the Spider-Man. The Jits would cosplay is in effect and there's 04:57:57.440 --> 04:57:58.960 no touch on the point. 04:57:58.960 --> 04:58:02.880 They're just not a fan of the back row in general from heretics, like Vito and Enzo 04:58:02.880 --> 04:58:08.420 We're having a little too much fun chasing strategists that there was no anchor for the objective 04:58:08.420 --> 04:58:10.420 You had Na'Vi capping two ticks without 04:58:11.220 --> 04:58:13.880 Heretics having a good reason their pankards were 04:58:14.800 --> 04:58:21.040 nowhere to be found and I think Enzo on the Magneto now may just prove to be a something a little bit more solid to 04:58:21.040 --> 04:58:26.120 Kind of take charge of the front line and something that'll slow them down from being on perma flank 04:58:26.120 --> 04:58:32.840 But Na'Vi have gotten a swift cap and they've banked up a bunch of ultimates look at here in this galactic legend 04:58:32.840 --> 04:58:36.040 you can sometimes sneak up to the defense going through the middle building. 04:58:37.040 --> 04:58:38.940 All right, here comes the Thanos combo. 04:58:39.340 --> 04:58:43.440 We're raging Royal Legends and Terra is just tearing through everybody. 04:58:43.440 --> 04:58:48.240 The OV, the extra damage got buffed up when we started redistributing the powering gambit, 04:58:48.240 --> 04:58:51.240 Salsamo, and yeah, that's gonna be that one much better. 04:58:51.740 --> 04:58:52.240 Wow. 04:58:53.140 --> 04:58:58.940 Nafi, bring the terror to you and terror to you and they will throw everything with them. 04:58:58.940 --> 04:59:03.140 That's why I said, you don't want to give Kirk Gambit so scary with it. 04:59:03.640 --> 04:59:08.540 Now, Navi, so close to that point B cap, and trust me, taking the initiative. 04:59:09.140 --> 04:59:11.840 Alex's used both their dashes, wants to try and get an ultimate here, 04:59:11.840 --> 04:59:13.040 but doesn't quite have the line of sight. 04:59:13.040 --> 04:59:15.540 Only four players are going to be inside it, and it's going to have to do... 04:59:15.640 --> 04:59:18.840 So, if he goes forward, they will change, trying to hunt down the opposing Gambit. 04:59:18.840 --> 04:59:20.340 There's a great disengagement here. 04:59:20.340 --> 04:59:23.740 Are we losing Raja Ro4 now, is there going to be even more onto Kirk? 04:59:23.740 --> 04:59:24.940 Indeed, there is. 04:59:25.040 --> 04:59:27.440 And this is a tough area to be held for Navi, 04:59:27.440 --> 04:59:31.280 They didn't really invest too much in that previous fight, excepting the feasts to be at this. 04:59:31.280 --> 04:59:41.580 Yeah, having a Deadpool as your, uh, stationary, uh, anchor vanguard is not the best at peeling for something like a daredevil that is batoning your strats to death. 04:59:41.580 --> 04:59:45.480 It's like, you could throw a bubble and then it's a good luck sign and you peace out. 04:59:45.480 --> 04:59:52.120 While it's something like a Magneto can deliver a lot of bubbles and be a more commanding presence in front of a brawling line. 04:59:52.120 --> 04:59:56.680 So Navi can't necessarily, uh, feel for Tanuki or stop him, it seems. 04:59:56.680 --> 05:00:01.100 Oh. Okay, so no key misses for Final Writers Cross, and that's going to mean a quick exit from here, 05:00:01.100 --> 05:00:03.480 while the theory's rebuilt once again. 05:00:03.480 --> 05:00:05.380 Great symbolic shenanigans coming through from fate. 05:00:05.380 --> 05:00:08.840 The real difference right here is that Oasis and fate are essentially playing different characters, 05:00:08.840 --> 05:00:10.640 and Oasis is not playing the better one. 05:00:10.640 --> 05:00:13.560 Ergo wants a fate that needs sickness to guide down two sweets, 05:00:13.560 --> 05:00:15.080 but needs to be an escape first. 05:00:15.080 --> 05:00:17.800 The HGF is a massive threat that needs to be dealt with, 05:00:17.800 --> 05:00:19.720 and there's going to be no healing really for level 1- 05:00:19.720 --> 05:00:25.080 Oh my goodness, Endo is just built different, bro. 05:00:25.080 --> 05:00:30.680 That means level 1 crit was caught out of the mouth of the Jeff and easily executed there after. 05:00:30.680 --> 05:00:32.520 Okay, Enzo. 05:00:33.240 --> 05:00:39.560 And the 360. The 360 vdrm to deny the It's Jeff ult. 05:00:39.560 --> 05:00:42.200 I love the style points from Heretics. 05:00:42.200 --> 05:00:47.720 They did double up on the Jeff and the soul resurgence, but it's just all offense all day despite 05:00:47.720 --> 05:00:53.080 also being on defense so now we have such a gap to close they're looking at trust me and 05:00:53.080 --> 05:00:58.360 Rajaro to be aggressive just like this but Tara needs to follow up with the galactic legend soon 05:00:58.360 --> 05:01:02.440 and we'll have the royal flush to boot yeah not being able to eat that with the meteor and it's 05:01:02.440 --> 05:01:06.680 definitely going to be very difficult to try and deal with eyes on Tara here in the back but we're 05:01:06.680 --> 05:01:11.080 seeing if he even needs to use the galactic legend for now Timber Jerky strikes in first letting the 05:01:11.080 --> 05:01:15.160 devil out and certainly is being made known to Nuki with a good counter play here but you've 05:01:15.160 --> 05:01:19.680 But you've got to start thinking about the car, if you are team heretics, it's getting awfully close to that finish line. 05:01:19.680 --> 05:01:23.080 You need to try and make your way through, and here's the Galactic Nation coming through last. 05:01:23.080 --> 05:01:27.960 And if you're desperately looking for terror in midair, but that free flight is real difficult to deal with. 05:01:27.960 --> 05:01:30.640 A moment in cover, away from the feces of the eviction. 05:01:30.640 --> 05:01:33.360 Freaking dodge there to make sure we trust me for too much of an issue. 05:01:33.360 --> 05:01:37.240 And look, Oasis is pouring out so many kills right here in Niagara alongside them. 05:01:37.240 --> 05:01:41.280 Once again, Jicwood has returned the EMEA, and Magnus found out the hardware of a joke. 05:01:41.280 --> 05:01:45.120 He's got so many heroes within their pool, even though they are picked up first. 05:01:45.120 --> 05:01:47.880 Oasis has a back pocket pick. The edge chef ready to go. 05:01:47.880 --> 05:01:49.480 Fates gonna be the one to launch it first. 05:01:49.480 --> 05:01:51.320 A quick healing puddle left behind. 05:01:51.320 --> 05:01:53.520 The jerky is able to easily get on some of Alex. 05:01:53.520 --> 05:01:56.200 I don't know quite what Oasis is playing at right now. 05:01:56.200 --> 05:01:58.960 Just wanted a healing puddle, but Alex left it anyway. 05:01:58.960 --> 05:02:01.120 So we're chased off it. Diver, diver. 05:02:01.120 --> 05:02:04.240 The meter and up above nice dog there from Terra. 05:02:04.240 --> 05:02:06.680 And this should be Nami having enough players 05:02:06.680 --> 05:02:07.960 to try and bring this one home. 05:02:07.960 --> 05:02:09.320 It's level one quick feeling. 05:02:09.320 --> 05:02:11.720 Like if you just get involved and start doing the damage 05:02:11.720 --> 05:02:14.160 for Flates and there, but the man just certainly is. 05:02:14.160 --> 05:02:16.160 So resurgence comes up next. 05:02:16.160 --> 05:02:22.660 I can't believe it. Navi staggered their ultimates to just try and be as economical as they can 05:02:22.660 --> 05:02:28.660 by not combining the regantic royal flush with the galactic legend Mayer Vinny Nel and the coffin. 05:02:28.660 --> 05:02:33.960 Navi did not get the full finish on the fight that they would have hoped so because they staggered those ultimates, 05:02:33.960 --> 05:02:35.460 and it costed them a lot of time. 05:02:35.460 --> 05:02:41.460 They only have 40 seconds left to cap point B, and like you pointed out, Oasis didn't even need an ultimate, 05:02:41.460 --> 05:02:48.200 just pouring out so many heals in the pile to keep heretics up through what looks like every ultimate in the game coming out of Nadia. 05:02:49.080 --> 05:02:53.800 Okay, Tanuki, damage boosted in towards the back, trust me, obviously the piece to be abyss, 05:02:53.800 --> 05:02:59.700 and Naga's already been taken down, there's even more damage to come, trust me, his aim is absolutely sublime right now. 05:02:59.700 --> 05:03:07.620 The Thanos strike has hit the backline, and I'm afraid that they aren't going to be living through this one, no resurrections this time. 05:03:07.620 --> 05:03:11.620 Visual does his best to flee away, but Jerky's still sticking with a Spider-Man. 05:03:11.620 --> 05:03:15.460 Has a spectacular spin, ready to go, could use the stun out potentially, 05:03:15.460 --> 05:03:20.020 and even stopped the portal coming through with a momentary little bit of a fight, 05:03:20.020 --> 05:03:24.420 but unfortunately the cart has already gone through, and Bast is gonna have to be stopped on third. 05:03:25.140 --> 05:03:29.380 So much time was bled out of Navi, but sometimes it's not 05:03:29.380 --> 05:03:34.580 when you get the job done as long as it gets done, okay? At least that's the type of worker I am in Navi, 05:03:34.580 --> 05:03:37.800 But they only have a minute for the final point. 05:03:37.800 --> 05:03:41.240 Thankfully that skirmish extended them another galactic legend, 05:03:41.240 --> 05:03:43.280 but it won't be with that raging royal flush, 05:03:43.280 --> 05:03:49.180 and it does miss that extra oomph that Navi really needed to even cap point be a lot sooner than they hoped. 05:03:49.180 --> 05:03:51.740 Okay, however, the extra oomph is gonna be there. 05:03:51.740 --> 05:03:53.300 Curvecy of the damage missed from Romanticist. 05:03:53.300 --> 05:03:57.480 Jerky has been selfless, moved over onto this to make sure that Tera can get some value out of that ultimate 05:03:57.480 --> 05:04:02.840 when it is deployed, and so moving on forward, trying to rescue their divers from saying it's gone awry. 05:04:02.840 --> 05:04:04.200 The pocket should be good here. 05:04:04.200 --> 05:04:05.720 On to Terra. 05:04:05.720 --> 05:04:07.040 There's so much fire coming his way. 05:04:07.040 --> 05:04:10.200 Tanuki caught out for rest of T-merizix Force to disengage. 05:04:11.080 --> 05:04:16.240 And you'll take the sacrifice on Tanuki to just have a better hurrah 05:04:16.240 --> 05:04:18.560 for the final part of this map. 05:04:18.560 --> 05:04:21.160 And Navi, having to just invest that now, 05:04:21.160 --> 05:04:23.960 they got the white fox in tow. 05:04:23.960 --> 05:04:26.160 Something one of fate's specialties. 05:04:26.160 --> 05:04:29.560 But stopping Terra's overextension here is a huge part of heritage stop. 05:04:29.880 --> 05:04:31.160 23 seconds remain. 05:04:31.160 --> 05:04:35.000 Every stagger is super critical the Spirit Sanctuary user trying to teleport away 05:04:35.000 --> 05:04:38.180 They need to get rid of fate it's gonna have trouble actually joining this fight 05:04:38.180 --> 05:04:41.160 And so Terra's the one who has to move away on to 05:04:41.920 --> 05:04:43.920 Dr. Strange 05:04:44.040 --> 05:04:48.960 I'm trying to get a better angle on this fight and coming through the front right in 05:04:49.400 --> 05:04:53.380 Enzo's face with the meteor em to stop this push from Navi 05:04:54.000 --> 05:04:57.920 Okay, who's inside of the Jampus the question right now letting the devil out is Tanuki 05:04:57.920 --> 05:05:27.640 And fate getting kidnapped at the end, man, heretics are so good at dismantling Navi's 05:05:27.640 --> 05:05:34.280 strategist line to make it so the fights don't end 10 years from now, which Navi fought through 05:05:34.280 --> 05:05:40.280 tooth and nail and made that a farther push than ultimately could have ended sooner, like aka point 05:05:40.280 --> 05:05:46.280 B, where they started to stagger more of their ultimates and were even questioning whether they 05:05:46.280 --> 05:05:51.000 how much more they should invest. Naga even brought out the portal on the Doctor Strange to 05:05:51.000 --> 05:05:58.040 even takes a more time off of Na'vi to recontest point B and Team Heretics knew how to disengage. 05:05:58.040 --> 05:06:05.000 Soft recent have a strong flight afterwards. So, well, the finish line is there for Na'vi towards 05:06:05.000 --> 05:06:13.320 the end of the map. Can Team Heretics get to that and beat the best team, second best team in the 05:06:13.320 --> 05:06:18.360 group? There's a lot on the line here. Well, someone says second best team in the group 05:06:18.360 --> 05:06:23.160 after team heretics. We're now on this one. And honestly, like if team heretics do it 05:06:23.160 --> 05:06:30.840 while missing a ban, absolute infinite aura. I will award you the highest honor I can bestow, 05:06:30.840 --> 05:06:38.440 the infinite aura badge. And it took some good swaps too to just have everything ironed out. 05:06:38.440 --> 05:06:42.760 Navi had to figure out who was going to be anchoring. And now on the defense, you got the 05:06:42.760 --> 05:06:48.000 fly is jerky is going to be watching from above doing some scouting now you 05:06:48.000 --> 05:06:51.720 don't have the the daredevil to see through the wall so jerky will just be 05:06:51.720 --> 05:06:55.600 their eyes in the sky and spotting this team heretics rotation here through the 05:06:55.600 --> 05:07:01.200 left side is important for Navi and so he's got a few options for his movement 05:07:01.200 --> 05:07:05.320 though no real verticality available for the magneto and so we're just going to 05:07:05.320 --> 05:07:08.840 run it down main here and this doesn't really have to worry about the drop from 05:07:08.840 --> 05:07:11.960 Navi up above me you can see that three players are just waiting to enter the 05:07:11.960 --> 05:07:16.120 slightly overextends so we can get on top of that and really find an exposed back line. 05:07:16.120 --> 05:07:19.720 But at least he's just playing in such a safe position. Really difficult to deal with anything here. 05:07:19.720 --> 05:07:24.040 Terrorist just catch a little bit of water and I guess he's a hydropho because that does everything. 05:07:24.040 --> 05:07:28.280 A nice anti-going through onto the gamut, but Betel can't quite convert and going up against 05:07:28.280 --> 05:07:32.520 three strategists who just out-sustained and out-damaged. Two-six have already gone the way of 05:07:32.520 --> 05:07:36.680 Team Heretics. How do you re-engage this one? Can Rajro get onto Veris to question his Terrorist 05:07:36.680 --> 05:07:41.640 or TP from the back and maybe create a soft off angle here for the then to try and work with 05:07:41.640 --> 05:07:47.400 Faith already 65% to the Ragey Royal Plush, but Tanuki is controlling this high ground very well. 05:07:47.400 --> 05:07:52.360 Terra's gonna be the one to come up and try and hit it as we are in a little bit of a stalemate here. 05:07:52.360 --> 05:07:57.640 Only 3% from it being captured. Team Heretics were right on the edge and Tanuki's in a beautiful 05:07:57.640 --> 05:08:03.240 spot for trying to eliminate these strategists. The tracking's good. Is it gonna be anything 05:08:03.240 --> 05:08:06.440 better here from Beetle coming up close and personally just dealing all of the damage, 05:08:06.440 --> 05:08:09.000 Deployation damage, out comes the gambit ultimate. 05:08:09.000 --> 05:08:11.400 It's the last chance Saloon here for Team Heretics. 05:08:11.400 --> 05:08:12.840 But Alex doesn't got theirs yet, 05:08:12.840 --> 05:08:15.680 397% a last second to come on through. 05:08:15.680 --> 05:08:16.720 A quick eat as well. 05:08:16.720 --> 05:08:19.440 They will get the venom within their mouths, I imagine. 05:08:19.440 --> 05:08:20.960 As Snake has to flee away. 05:08:20.960 --> 05:08:22.680 The counter strike is coming through. 05:08:22.680 --> 05:08:24.320 But Pockets there from Jerky. 05:08:24.320 --> 05:08:26.240 The range of Ultron reigns above. 05:08:26.240 --> 05:08:27.960 But can Team Heretics do anything about it? 05:08:27.960 --> 05:08:29.320 They have the meteor M in the back pocket, 05:08:29.320 --> 05:08:30.240 but aside not to use it, 05:08:30.240 --> 05:08:31.320 looking to never want to truck, 05:08:31.320 --> 05:08:32.800 it could be all about the one shot here. 05:08:32.800 --> 05:08:33.880 M's there from downtown. 05:08:33.880 --> 05:08:38.040 does not give time for themselves to get anything more, but knowing that all of the outputs are 05:08:38.040 --> 05:08:44.360 expended, now it's Tanuki's turn, waiting for it. Oh my goodness, feet with a fire bash! 05:08:44.360 --> 05:08:49.000 Oh, he's in a crook like this one before, a bit of southern charm from the gambits, 05:08:49.000 --> 05:08:53.080 and Tanuki is far from charm. He's wondering what just happened, where was my support, 05:08:53.080 --> 05:08:56.840 where was my love, where are my friends, Team Heretics are absolutely scappered. 05:08:57.960 --> 05:09:03.640 And the fact that, again, this was 3% away from being captured and Navi got back just in 05:09:03.640 --> 05:09:08.000 the nick of time and Tanuki is the only duelist and he's been focused down and 05:09:08.000 --> 05:09:12.000 makes the job easy for Navi of where and who to look at and what a shutdown on 05:09:12.000 --> 05:09:16.520 the galactic legend. Tanuki has to be supported and Naga has to look his way 05:09:16.520 --> 05:09:21.000 at all times. Oasis will keep a safe distance and you will be never parched 05:09:21.000 --> 05:09:26.080 with this Jeff on duty and trust me does not want to overstay his welcome. He do 05:09:26.080 --> 05:09:30.280 not want to deal with the wrath of Naga and friends in their post. Okay charge 05:09:30.280 --> 05:09:34.200 straight sort here for Enzo, doing a lot of damage to Terra, taking down. Remember there's 05:09:34.200 --> 05:09:38.360 going to be no quick returns this time. Might have to go over onto a Spider-Man, but I think 05:09:38.360 --> 05:09:41.160 it might already be Cug's great weaving around for shield there from the other one. 05:09:41.160 --> 05:09:45.320 And it just seems like it's going to be Rajro trying their best to shut this one down with 05:09:45.320 --> 05:09:49.640 a quick little bit of skill, as you can hear me there. Jerky's in danger, Beetle found the 05:09:49.640 --> 05:09:54.600 other. Strategiously all falling down, the healing's fallen apart. And that's going to be a 05:09:54.600 --> 05:09:57.880 cap here for Team Heretics, but later than they would otherwise like. 05:09:57.880 --> 05:10:03.240 Yeah, pretty big time to thank this advantage and Navi just having to go 05:10:03.240 --> 05:10:06.840 to an Ultron. Well if you can't peel you could just fly away from your problems 05:10:06.840 --> 05:10:11.280 and it's been hard to access him but not so much to go after people like Crook 05:10:11.280 --> 05:10:16.200 or others. So good focus from someone like Beetle to eventually tilt the resource 05:10:16.200 --> 05:10:21.080 scales in their favor and team heretics. They can keep the rally going. Soul 05:10:21.080 --> 05:10:26.040 resurgence or raging royal flush will be on the menu first if you can even use it 05:10:26.040 --> 05:10:28.040 because trust me is all over you again. 05:10:28.040 --> 05:10:30.540 Oh trust me, no one options there, no longer has the symbiotic swing. 05:10:30.540 --> 05:10:35.040 Still has the resilience if needed, quick E-pop to give yourself even more maximum health. 05:10:35.040 --> 05:10:38.540 But it seems like for now, Team Heretics are building up quite the ultimate bank. 05:10:38.540 --> 05:10:41.540 They've got Tanuki and Alex in concert if they need it. 05:10:41.540 --> 05:10:43.540 A little bit of extra damage coming through as well. 05:10:43.540 --> 05:10:47.540 Tanuki now in final smoke, can they hunt down the strategies with this engagement strong? 05:10:47.540 --> 05:10:51.540 With all that speed they have, courtesy of the Mantis, Jervie's gonna be caught out by themselves. 05:10:51.540 --> 05:10:54.040 And this might make it intendable to try and fight this one. 05:10:54.040 --> 05:11:00.760 But still, it seems like never one crook, they feel the energy they see in this work, and what they trust me so far from the ultimate, the healing's not delivered. 05:11:00.760 --> 05:11:06.040 They have eyes on the gambit in the fact they need to try and take down fate before it can do anything more than this, 05:11:06.040 --> 05:11:10.200 and they actually explain that O-Ragey War of Hush will try and facilitate the disengage, 05:11:10.200 --> 05:11:15.480 but Charmed's great sword Pierce is the flesh of Navi, and that's a lot of space for heretics. 05:11:15.480 --> 05:11:22.040 Man, and heretics have really found a groove, maybe extending a little too much, don't forget Navi are right next door, 05:11:22.040 --> 05:11:27.640 and now Navi have a chance to even climb back in, but Enzo's bubble saves Naga, allows him to use 05:11:27.640 --> 05:11:32.360 the soul resurgence after the piece of the abyss from trust me, who's down the magnitude on himself, 05:11:32.360 --> 05:11:33.880 taking a page out of Enzo's book. 05:11:52.040 --> 05:11:55.160 of the team forward, seeing if they're going to make it happen in a 5v6 because they don't 05:11:55.160 --> 05:11:59.840 have time to waste, terror rescue by trust me, a bubble when it's needed, and it seems 05:11:59.840 --> 05:12:03.240 like Team Heretics know that they don't have the damage to make this one work and play 05:12:03.240 --> 05:12:04.760 with it this engage instead. 05:12:04.760 --> 05:12:09.720 Yeah, not without Tanuki, but Team Heretics have been able to fend for themselves against 05:12:09.720 --> 05:12:15.160 trust me, but really need to find more punish, and now that he's not on the Venom, it's just 05:12:15.160 --> 05:12:19.000 going to be a front to back brawl, look at Team Heretics to kick things off now with 05:12:19.000 --> 05:12:20.000 a royal flush. 05:12:20.000 --> 05:12:27.920 And towards the back skill, as you likely put on to Alex as well, but the raging royal flush, he just hides away and makes sure that this massive healing is going to be enough. 05:12:27.920 --> 05:12:30.940 They take out Tanuki, but chase down is good. It seems like fate right now. 05:12:30.940 --> 05:12:39.300 Just getting Tanuki every time he wants a quick whip of a stick and beatle is crushed under the rocks, and Team Heretics are now low on time. 05:12:39.300 --> 05:12:48.820 It's giving map 3 guys 34 seconds, and Team Heretics have not just a mountain, but it's looking like Everest, Naga, Solar Resurgence, 05:12:48.820 --> 05:12:50.340 and they still have the gap close. 05:12:50.340 --> 05:12:53.620 Everything has to depend on Tanuki getting value 05:12:53.620 --> 05:12:56.060 and Navi are trying to mark where he's going to be coming from. 05:12:56.060 --> 05:12:57.620 You can notice the Galactic Legend. 05:12:57.620 --> 05:12:59.380 You could send Tanuki to try and shut it, 05:12:59.380 --> 05:13:01.940 or send Navi to try and shut it down yet again. 05:13:01.940 --> 05:13:03.660 The focus on level one currently used to be sublime here. 05:13:03.660 --> 05:13:05.940 The Sol returns can save everybody 05:13:05.940 --> 05:13:07.940 while the Angles that Tanuki is going to be developing. 05:13:07.940 --> 05:13:11.300 A very risky position here from Fate might be chased on down. 05:13:11.300 --> 05:13:12.500 The Wycliffe comes through from Enzo, 05:13:12.500 --> 05:13:14.100 but it seems like the healing is going to be more than enough. 05:13:14.100 --> 05:13:15.580 The Anti comes through and they got Fate, 05:13:15.580 --> 05:13:16.900 and that's the opening here. 05:13:16.900 --> 05:13:23.540 Enzo from behind, eating Amterra! What a ball! This guy from Lebronzo! Unreal! 05:13:23.540 --> 05:13:27.940 As he takes down Amterra, and so Oasis now is going to be able to pour out this healing, 05:13:27.940 --> 05:13:31.540 but it's far from done for Team Heretics. They still have a vanguard here to try and 05:13:31.540 --> 05:13:35.460 stall it out for a moment longer, but in overtime, their spawns are coming back a lot faster. 05:13:35.460 --> 05:13:39.940 Fate opens up the portal. One last chance to keep this one contested, but it's locked off on both 05:13:39.940 --> 05:13:44.500 sides, including by the car. It makes it happen, and in from the back, it's going to be jerky with 05:13:44.500 --> 05:13:46.620 with the rage of Ultron, great sustainability, 05:13:46.620 --> 05:13:48.220 maybe he can save it for the team, 05:13:48.220 --> 05:13:50.060 but now the great sword cringe rolling on out 05:13:50.060 --> 05:13:51.140 and the damage is too much, 05:13:51.140 --> 05:13:53.060 the bear for trust me can't quite meet it, 05:13:53.060 --> 05:13:55.100 jerky scene, the last bit of water 05:13:55.100 --> 05:13:57.820 rush through the iron armor of Ultron 05:13:57.820 --> 05:14:00.260 and Beto just chases down the shot. 05:14:00.260 --> 05:14:01.180 Who would win? 05:14:01.180 --> 05:14:02.300 One, two, three, boy, 05:14:02.300 --> 05:14:04.740 you're a big old American democracy shield 05:14:04.740 --> 05:14:07.100 with this day, democracy triumphs. 05:14:08.100 --> 05:14:10.100 And gas in the tank of team heretics 05:14:10.100 --> 05:14:12.140 and a subtle play from Alex hitting 05:14:12.140 --> 05:14:17.860 the anti-heal card on Navi, getting a strategist down, forcing already them to flounder and 05:14:17.860 --> 05:14:20.660 reconsider their approach on the fight. 05:14:20.660 --> 05:14:25.540 Two galactic legends collided, Navi even with the soul of resurgence, and then got picked 05:14:25.540 --> 05:14:29.180 off as soon as that anti-heal hit their lap. 05:14:29.180 --> 05:14:34.300 So Team Heretic suffered a lot on the time though, a minute is not a lot, but they only 05:14:34.300 --> 05:14:39.580 need one strong fight win and a good clearance of Navi to win the map and the series. 05:14:39.580 --> 05:14:43.480 Okay, moving in with two doors first. I'm trying to get maximum value off of a raging world plus 05:14:43.480 --> 05:14:46.680 Jerky gonna be chased on down. Can they find the enemy just floating there? 05:14:46.880 --> 05:14:52.560 Impuriously T posing on them, but Naga's the one who asserts dominance in this case and B2 has his eyes on the back line 05:14:52.560 --> 05:14:57.600 Go see him with the big strike. Goodbye, Terra. Jerky's gonna be able to resurrect themselves here 05:14:57.600 --> 05:15:02.920 But going up against the Captain America is so much damage now. Alex taunted not finished 05:15:02.920 --> 05:15:07.560 There's no damage coming through from the other side. Raja is down level 1 through just has to ult by themselves 05:15:07.560 --> 05:15:11.480 trying to stall this one out but the DPS check is far easier than you think the 05:15:11.480 --> 05:15:16.160 team heretics to hit the galactic legend lays down the fire from above and 05:15:16.160 --> 05:15:20.240 certainly a legends formed here this day as team heretics begin their own mythos 05:15:20.240 --> 05:15:26.640 a vibing mythos and it's a grandiose mythos as they lay down navi 2 and 0 05:15:26.640 --> 05:15:32.720 and looking like they are on their way to solidify the number one seed in group 05:15:32.720 --> 05:15:36.140 and I head to head is going to matter down the road. 05:15:36.140 --> 05:15:40.480 Heretic standing tall over their biggest opponent in this group 05:15:40.480 --> 05:15:43.180 and doing it in two old-fashioned. 05:15:43.180 --> 05:15:47.120 And I mean, Navi had so many bright moments, 05:15:47.120 --> 05:15:50.480 and Heretic stood tall in the end. 05:15:50.480 --> 05:15:51.640 I mean, pick your poise. 05:15:51.640 --> 05:15:53.220 And Alex had great anti-heals. 05:15:53.220 --> 05:15:56.340 Oasis saved them without any ultimates. 05:15:56.340 --> 05:16:00.640 Just the healing 41,000 from just that Jeff is insane. 05:16:00.640 --> 05:16:06.720 Tanuki, the duelist of fear, Naga swapping to everything and anything which, uh, 05:16:06.720 --> 05:16:11.520 also the Star Lord, at some point, they swapped roles there. Enzo had some life-saving bubbles, 05:16:11.520 --> 05:16:16.400 namely on someone like Naga who was on the Mantis, being able to activate that Solvry 05:16:16.400 --> 05:16:21.600 Surgeon, gave them a fight win that's all thanks to Enzo and the Peel on the Strategist, 05:16:21.600 --> 05:16:25.920 and Beedle who was able to stay as measured as he can, but also running it down on these 05:16:25.920 --> 05:16:30.880 strategist who's a huge neutral fight winner for Heretics. What a death ball from this team. 05:16:31.440 --> 05:16:37.760 Well, I am absolutely knack of lemon, so let's bring Vodable back in to chat about this series. 05:16:41.200 --> 05:16:45.280 I think, you know, the Heretics fans out there definitely expected it going into this one, 05:16:45.280 --> 05:16:50.640 specifically. But yeah, any of the Navi fans who saw their performances in previous seasons and 05:16:50.640 --> 05:16:55.520 expected big things from them, they did their best that they could on their map pick. And you 05:16:55.520 --> 05:16:59.860 We talked about this, like they're going into this one that, hey, they beat Virtus.Pro on 05:16:59.860 --> 05:17:04.180 this before, but unfortunately for their sakes, this time it did not work out. 05:17:04.180 --> 05:17:10.260 Even with the miss of ban from the team heretics, it did not matter because we saw so many players, 05:17:10.260 --> 05:17:15.860 all six players, on team heretics, popping off Beto, Enzo, and Seiyuki, doing the most 05:17:15.860 --> 05:17:16.860 damage. 05:17:16.860 --> 05:17:19.360 Naka really just kind of flanking around supporting the team as best as he can. 05:17:19.360 --> 05:17:23.660 It's kind of like that flex support, there's flex strategy style that we saw from them. 05:17:23.660 --> 05:17:28.620 and also swapping on over to the Psylocke at the end just to chase down Jerky who had swapped 05:17:28.620 --> 05:17:33.580 Team to the Adam Warlock Cinema. I mean, if you had one series to recommend people rewatch 05:17:33.580 --> 05:17:36.620 today, this is going to be the one to do it, Levin. 05:17:36.620 --> 05:17:42.300 Absolutely. And this was Navi's choice of map. And you were talking about how historical 05:17:42.300 --> 05:17:46.780 it was for them. They've beaten the best of teams on here. This is the large of a map 05:17:46.780 --> 05:17:53.540 as you can get for a trust me Venom collapse onto them, but if it's anything, it's Navi 05:17:53.540 --> 05:17:58.200 that collapse and it's just these critical little moments when you were getting anti-healed, 05:17:58.200 --> 05:18:01.360 when you were trying to go in, what ultimates were able to shut down and Navi had some big 05:18:01.360 --> 05:18:06.920 moments too, being able to cancel to Nuki's galactic legend, shout out to fate there, 05:18:06.920 --> 05:18:12.000 a lot of nice moments from Navi and how they were able to stall on their defense, but this 05:18:12.000 --> 05:18:14.480 is gonna be a good match to rewatch. 05:18:14.480 --> 05:18:17.520 I gotta give a quick credit to Oasis. 05:18:17.520 --> 05:18:20.000 I said that they were flying just worse, Jeff, 05:18:20.000 --> 05:18:21.720 without any team-ups. 05:18:21.720 --> 05:18:23.040 I was unfamiliar with their game, 05:18:23.040 --> 05:18:25.680 dropping 41k heals, only falling twice 05:18:25.680 --> 05:18:27.520 in both sides of that map. 05:18:27.520 --> 05:18:29.040 Gross insane. 05:18:29.040 --> 05:18:31.080 It sounds like we're gonna be getting Naga here 05:18:31.080 --> 05:18:32.960 for the interview as well. 05:18:32.960 --> 05:18:35.200 And I'm really interested to pick their brain 05:18:35.200 --> 05:18:37.640 on exactly what their strategy was going into this. 05:18:37.640 --> 05:18:39.280 So welcome in, Naga. 05:18:39.280 --> 05:18:41.480 I got to hear ahead of time from fate 05:18:41.480 --> 05:18:43.080 that they were feeling confident going to this matchup, 05:18:43.080 --> 05:18:48.560 But you guys really pulled out all the stops to shut them down and prove that you are the best team now in a group A 05:18:50.560 --> 05:18:56.480 Yeah, nice to meet you. Thank you for having me and yeah, I mean I guess played has to be confident 05:18:56.480 --> 05:18:58.920 But we'll see how you'll feel next time you play them 05:19:01.000 --> 05:19:08.600 Well now good today on domination we saw you play something a little bit strange the invisible one is a new pickup for you 05:19:08.600 --> 05:19:13.840 How long have you been grinding invisible women? Also, did you win because I brought the heretics and bundle? 05:19:15.840 --> 05:19:20.200 I mean it definitely helps that you bought the heretics bundle and I'm proud of you like they well 05:19:20.200 --> 05:19:24.580 I've been playing Windows for what like two or three days. I guess something like that 05:19:24.580 --> 05:19:29.400 You know my team think it's fun to just put me on off-rule a few days before important match 05:19:29.400 --> 05:19:33.320 You know, but I'll have it then I expect great things for them to make up for it 05:19:33.480 --> 05:19:38.200 So I mean now it didn't make it happen. He's paying with stairs. Whoa, so I mean what yeah 05:19:38.600 --> 05:19:40.600 It'll be better next time, I promise. 05:19:42.600 --> 05:19:46.600 It was so fun to watch you, and hey, you act like a dualist when you're on Mantis too. 05:19:46.600 --> 05:19:52.600 You were able to fend for yourself when you're getting dove on by one of the scariest Venoms out there, but Enzo helped you out so much. 05:19:52.600 --> 05:19:59.600 What are the comms like when you're trying to call for help, or does your team just trust you to kind of feel for yourself? 05:19:59.600 --> 05:20:02.600 How do you handle the Venom dive in this meta? 05:20:02.600 --> 05:20:10.600 It's not really that scary to be honest, because we have like triple support backlines, so we don't even stress that much about it. 05:20:10.600 --> 05:20:19.600 It's only on Hills Heaven where they had full diver, it's like quite scary, right, when they dive us, but the venom on whole Jaliya is like not that big an issue. 05:20:19.600 --> 05:20:24.600 We can in fact just ignore him if you want to, but sometimes I like to just shoot him in the head a little bit. 05:20:24.600 --> 05:20:26.600 Yeah. 05:20:26.600 --> 05:20:29.600 Let's keep talking whole of Jaliya. 05:20:29.600 --> 05:20:41.480 Yeah, I mean we didn't really feel like we needed it to be honest we haven't I mean I have to say we haven't played this map as single-time in practice like 05:20:41.480 --> 05:20:45.600 unharmonically and the last band we were kind of like I mean let's let's make it a 05:20:45.600 --> 05:20:51.040 little bit more fun right and even then on first point attack I literally played 05:20:51.040 --> 05:20:55.520 without sounds for like two minutes in the beginning cuz my headset died and then I 05:20:55.520 --> 05:20:59.040 tried to pause but apparently have to confirm it so I stood still like in the 05:20:59.040 --> 05:21:03.680 And I was like, no, no, I don't have time for this and then we kept playing and then we double supported it because of it 05:21:03.760 --> 05:21:09.880 But I mean obviously the only reason we can win this map right without practicing it without having a last man 05:21:09.880 --> 05:21:14.440 It's because we have the team heretics bundle like it is unmatched like oh 05:21:16.760 --> 05:21:21.680 Man it sounds like you guys were able to play for the vibe throughout the entire series itself 05:21:21.680 --> 05:21:28.280 But you know kind of looking ahead you guys have two more series to finish off your group based off against alter eSports 05:21:28.280 --> 05:21:32.760 and then closing things off against Shiki Gami, I mean, you must be on top of the world after this 05:21:32.760 --> 05:21:37.560 win, but how do you lock in for those last two series and confirm the number one seed going out of 05:21:37.560 --> 05:21:43.400 Krupe? I mean, my team is absolutely insane. I'm not worried about any matches, and this was a great 05:21:43.400 --> 05:21:48.600 start to the year. And we're going to take every match one by one. We're not going to like just, 05:21:48.600 --> 05:21:52.840 you know, look at look at the pay done be like, well, we are better in every single way. So we 05:21:52.840 --> 05:21:57.400 just lean back. No, no, no, we have to win and we have to win big, right? And we have to win 05:21:57.400 --> 05:22:03.400 confidently. So, you know, leave no gaps for them to surprise us or whatever it could be. 05:22:03.960 --> 05:22:09.960 So, yeah, we're going to, you know, practice hard and talk a long, many, many hours about how 05:22:09.960 --> 05:22:16.760 we're going to beat the next teams as well, right? So, I'd love to hear the insight for that, Naga. 05:22:16.760 --> 05:22:21.000 Thank you for joining us here on the broadcast as well. Lemon, do you have one final question? 05:22:21.000 --> 05:22:24.520 Yeah, just one more thing. Oh my god, we're so interested in the meta right now. And we saw 05:22:24.520 --> 05:22:28.680 I saw some strap pull for the first time in EMEA from Alex, so what are your thoughts on that one? 05:22:29.880 --> 05:22:36.360 I mean, with the band tank pull, the strap pull just has so much value, because we also get the GIF team up, right? 05:22:36.360 --> 05:22:41.160 I don't want to give too much more insight than that, but it's probably like pretty underrated, to be honest. 05:22:41.160 --> 05:22:43.720 And Alex is really, really good at it. 05:22:46.600 --> 05:22:51.320 Well, it takes too much of your time or too many more of your strategies. Thank you for joining us, Naga, and enjoy your win. 05:22:51.320 --> 05:22:59.280 I appreciate it, thank you for having me, it was my pleasure, bye bye. 05:22:59.280 --> 05:23:03.160 Such a gentleman on the broadcast for the interview there, it's nice that we got to 05:23:03.160 --> 05:23:08.160 get some insight, I mean only playing Invis like two or three days before and the performance 05:23:08.160 --> 05:23:10.360 that they put on is insane here, Levin. 05:23:10.360 --> 05:23:18.160 Yeah, as an Invis player, not the most complicated strategist to pull out but still was able 05:23:18.160 --> 05:23:24.960 to just have those critical plays and those, uh, really the force physics of when you can create those opportunities in the neutral. 05:23:24.960 --> 05:23:30.960 And Naga still did his job beautifully, and then we got to see him on the mantis, and as you heard him, he's not worried about no venom. 05:23:30.960 --> 05:23:35.960 Well, we are going to be taking our final break of the day. 05:23:35.960 --> 05:23:43.460 We already have Team Heretics now confirmed in it to the playoffs with that victory Navi looking for a little bit of a resurgence in their last series tomorrow. 05:23:43.460 --> 05:23:46.760 But it's going to be fire straights facing off against Crownfall after this. 05:24:18.160 --> 05:24:20.160 in my way 05:24:20.160 --> 05:24:23.160 I remember the time, the place we used to fight 05:24:23.160 --> 05:24:26.160 When the sun and moon and time wonder 05:24:26.160 --> 05:24:30.160 That baby was the tender we were friends 05:24:30.160 --> 05:24:34.160 And her solid shadows, warm and envious 05:24:34.160 --> 05:24:36.160 That's what has come from missing you now 05:24:36.160 --> 05:24:39.160 The hearts that know we're a last reunion 05:24:39.160 --> 05:24:42.160 Break the chains down and your way comes for me 05:24:43.160 --> 05:24:47.160 Do you remember who you really are? 05:24:47.160 --> 05:24:49.760 Show me that you are still the only one for me 05:24:49.760 --> 05:24:51.760 I'll be waiting for you 05:24:52.520 --> 05:24:55.060 Grading in an avalanche of rice 05:24:55.060 --> 05:24:56.920 Raising up the sense of smash 05:24:56.920 --> 05:24:58.720 In those dark walls 05:24:58.720 --> 05:25:01.220 Before the risk matters again 05:25:01.220 --> 05:25:03.720 The old meadows and the end line 05:25:03.720 --> 05:25:06.020 Then avalanche on my toes 05:25:06.020 --> 05:25:07.860 Until the power's gone 05:25:07.860 --> 05:25:09.520 And stop us 05:25:09.520 --> 05:25:12.520 We arrive until the end time 05:25:13.520 --> 05:25:14.820 We will clash 05:25:14.820 --> 05:25:16.220 But away 05:25:16.220 --> 05:25:19.220 We will fight, pushing across the space 05:25:19.220 --> 05:25:21.720 For you and me 05:25:21.720 --> 05:25:23.720 Take it back to the end 05:25:34.720 --> 05:25:37.720 Do you see the dawn, the flames burning brightly? 05:25:37.720 --> 05:25:40.720 Shining one nose and the breeze and yes 05:25:40.720 --> 05:25:44.720 Across the time I see you turning the sides 05:25:44.720 --> 05:25:46.040 And are you seeing now? 05:25:46.040 --> 05:25:48.480 I'm fine, I'm sorry, we can still fight 05:25:48.480 --> 05:25:50.360 Like the wind is far and 05:25:50.360 --> 05:25:51.720 When there's no more 05:25:51.720 --> 05:25:53.120 Then now is the only time 05:25:53.120 --> 05:25:55.720 Your heart is mine 05:25:56.360 --> 05:25:58.760 Light has fallen, darkness grown 05:25:58.760 --> 05:25:59.960 I can't be with no more 05:25:59.960 --> 05:26:01.680 Destiny has made 05:26:01.680 --> 05:26:04.160 Two days' panic for the first of future 05:26:04.160 --> 05:26:05.840 Break the chains, leave the way 05:26:05.840 --> 05:26:07.120 Fight with me 05:26:07.720 --> 05:26:08.880 Come when you're ready 05:26:08.880 --> 05:26:10.720 Yeah, I'm back, you're right 05:26:10.720 --> 05:26:12.120 Really, it's been a good sense 05:27:12.120 --> 05:27:17.000 central and I'm here to answer one specific question. What's the meta? And I would answer, 05:27:17.000 --> 05:27:22.040 I don't know, what's the meta with you? And I will continue to use that joke until I'm about 90, 05:27:22.040 --> 05:27:25.960 even though I look about 90 now. But in all seriousness, though, I do want to talk about 05:27:25.960 --> 05:27:30.840 some of the data that we've seen from that first week of action in EMEA and America's 05:27:30.840 --> 05:27:36.680 in Ignite. Bear in mind that the players played on a old patch. It was the hot picks that came 05:27:36.680 --> 05:27:41.720 out on March the 19th. So the white fox buffs that we're about to see, the Deadpool mobility 05:27:41.720 --> 05:27:46.600 and Elsa having less HP, we are going to see that in action this upcoming week. 05:27:46.600 --> 05:27:50.320 So stuff is a little bit different, and also as the pros will say, 05:27:50.320 --> 05:27:52.280 they're still working out the method themselves, 05:27:52.280 --> 05:27:55.880 lots of stuff is going to change, and we're still building up the sample size, 05:27:55.880 --> 05:27:58.920 which includes Add in China and Pacific to the action this week too. 05:27:58.920 --> 05:28:01.320 But there is a very easy place to start. 05:28:01.320 --> 05:28:05.680 Elsa versus Gambit, which of these characters is the most powerful 05:28:05.680 --> 05:28:08.840 in a competitive sense in coordinated play? 05:28:08.840 --> 05:28:13.740 And the answer, when it comes to presence, how often we're seeing these characters is actually Elsa. 05:28:13.740 --> 05:28:19.540 There were 68 maps played in America's EMEA this last week, and the hero could shock twice in the draft, right? 05:28:19.540 --> 05:28:25.040 You can either protect a character, and then the other team protects them, so you can both play them, you can both ban them, 05:28:25.040 --> 05:28:30.700 or you can have one team protect it and then ban it to make sure that they can play something like Elsa and the other team cannot. 05:28:30.700 --> 05:28:34.800 So it can shock twice, Elsa showed up every single time without fail. 05:28:34.800 --> 05:28:40.320 and certainly towards the start of a draft where you're looking for those first bands in first picks. 05:28:40.320 --> 05:28:45.840 In comparison Gambit was missing like once or twice, some teams just didn't want to include him at all, 05:28:45.840 --> 05:28:51.680 but the big difference between Elsa and Gambit is one is being banned out a lot more than the other, 05:28:51.680 --> 05:28:55.360 and surprisingly it is Gambit that is actually being taken out more. 05:28:55.360 --> 05:28:58.880 So for example a lot of the drafts will look like they will on screen, right, 05:28:58.880 --> 05:29:02.640 where you're seeing Gambit being banned out first and then both teams will go and protect the Elsa, 05:29:02.640 --> 05:29:04.360 that's above teams have access to it. 05:29:04.360 --> 05:29:05.400 Naturally, it makes sense. 05:29:05.400 --> 05:29:06.640 Elsa is really strong. 05:29:06.640 --> 05:29:08.760 Why would you not want to ban her out first though? 05:29:08.760 --> 05:29:10.120 It's more the case that Gambit, 05:29:10.120 --> 05:29:12.560 despite him being nerfed individually, 05:29:12.560 --> 05:29:13.760 being hit by the strategist, 05:29:13.760 --> 05:29:16.080 all generation nerfs too as a whole, 05:29:16.080 --> 05:29:17.560 he's still strong in his own right, 05:29:17.560 --> 05:29:19.520 but he enables so much as well. 05:29:19.520 --> 05:29:22.040 Heroes like Star-Lord, Galactic Legend, 05:29:22.040 --> 05:29:24.040 with a rage and royal flush from Gambit, 05:29:24.040 --> 05:29:25.720 an incredible combination. 05:29:25.720 --> 05:29:26.880 And characters like Rogue, 05:29:26.880 --> 05:29:28.200 who are pretty like middling, 05:29:28.200 --> 05:29:30.480 I suppose when it comes to the rankings of vanguards 05:29:30.480 --> 05:29:35.980 on their own, get pretty much S tier because they have the Gambit team up to work with. 05:29:35.980 --> 05:29:40.740 You remove Remy from a draft, you're removing three-to-four other strong heroes alongside, 05:29:40.740 --> 05:29:42.280 so it's so much value. 05:29:42.280 --> 05:29:45.760 So you take off a lot of the options from the enemy team, and protecting Elsa means 05:29:45.760 --> 05:29:50.340 that you at least have something to work around, no matter what your composition or idea is 05:29:50.340 --> 05:29:55.600 going to be for a map, whether you're playing Dive, Oak, 2-2-2, Triple Strategist, Triple 05:29:55.600 --> 05:30:00.240 Vanguard is something that we're seeing as well at this point, with flies against flies, 05:30:00.240 --> 05:30:01.800 Elsa just works with all of it. 05:30:01.800 --> 05:30:04.320 It doesn't matter your comp, you put an Elsa in 05:30:04.320 --> 05:30:06.640 and she's so versatile, she will go 05:30:06.640 --> 05:30:10.400 and just absolutely destroy people in her own right. 05:30:10.400 --> 05:30:12.840 Outside of these two fighting for the first place, 05:30:12.840 --> 05:30:15.160 you do have the likes of Vanguard Deadpool actually 05:30:15.160 --> 05:30:17.560 being right behind them both in protecting 05:30:17.560 --> 05:30:19.120 and also banning him out. 05:30:19.120 --> 05:30:21.440 And similar to Elsa, he just fits into a lot 05:30:21.440 --> 05:30:23.300 of different compositions and ideas 05:30:23.300 --> 05:30:25.960 and he just is very good in his own right. 05:30:25.960 --> 05:30:28.880 But also it's how good he is on stuff like domination. 05:30:28.880 --> 05:30:32.520 Because he can still build up his ultimate very quickly, certainly in comparison to some 05:30:32.520 --> 05:30:36.920 of the other ult generation nerfs that we've seen, that first fight is really good for 05:30:36.920 --> 05:30:41.320 Deadpool because he can get a Van Hammer early, put it on the enemy strategist, lead to an 05:30:41.320 --> 05:30:47.240 elimination and so your backline strategists are up on ultimate charge before the enemy. 05:30:47.240 --> 05:30:51.480 He gets so much value and it makes sense why Deadpool Vanguard is so good, not only on 05:30:51.480 --> 05:30:54.360 domination, but just in a lot of first early fights. 05:30:54.360 --> 05:30:58.480 If you enjoyed these kind of breakdowns, let us know and we'll continue to do more. 05:30:58.480 --> 05:31:00.920 Until next time, Ignite the battle and I'll see you in a few. 05:31:28.480 --> 05:31:30.480 I 05:33:28.480 --> 05:33:53.840 We have a couple teams confirmed for the group stage, but this one could potentially be 05:33:53.840 --> 05:33:57.320 an elimination match if Crownfall do go down. 05:33:57.320 --> 05:34:01.640 It is going to be Fire Strays versus Crownfall, looking for both of the teams' first ever 05:34:01.640 --> 05:34:02.640 series wins. 05:34:02.640 --> 05:34:06.080 And of course, we've got Leg Day and Lemon, we have our final series of the day. 05:34:06.080 --> 05:34:10.400 And Lemon, what can we expect from this Crownfall team who feel a little bit under-estimated 05:34:10.400 --> 05:34:12.960 but look pretty decent in all things considered? 05:34:12.960 --> 05:34:15.520 He's expecting unexpected. 05:34:15.520 --> 05:34:17.400 Expect one of these teams to get their first win. 05:34:17.400 --> 05:34:22.680 Alright, let's get the positivity that I'm out there because first week did not go so 05:34:22.680 --> 05:34:24.400 hot for either of these teams. 05:34:24.400 --> 05:34:25.960 or Crownfall especially. 05:34:25.960 --> 05:34:27.800 They have actually two Elsa players, 05:34:27.800 --> 05:34:29.440 so they're still trying to figure out their roles 05:34:29.440 --> 05:34:32.120 and their identity as to who's gonna be the better player. 05:34:32.120 --> 05:34:35.480 One, not a lot of teams have all the years of time together 05:34:35.480 --> 05:34:38.080 like VP do, so they're still flexing around 05:34:38.080 --> 05:34:40.960 who's gonna be the best Elsa player in the world. 05:34:40.960 --> 05:34:43.200 So, Bahad I think has shown more aptitude 05:34:43.200 --> 05:34:44.920 to also be a flanking Elsa player, 05:34:44.920 --> 05:34:47.560 so there's even a stylistic difference 05:34:47.560 --> 05:34:49.120 between the two duelists. 05:34:49.120 --> 05:34:51.840 Also this team prefers more of like a Crownfall, 05:34:51.840 --> 05:34:54.320 is more of a death ball, not as much of a venom, 05:34:54.320 --> 05:35:01.320 So they play actually a lot more cloak and dagger than the average team, but they they're gonna have to figure that out on our first map. 05:35:03.120 --> 05:35:05.720 Yeah, looking at that first map, I mean, we go back to Krakow. 05:35:05.720 --> 05:35:13.220 It's our fan favorite for today, at least for the random domination that we typically have going down between these themes. 05:35:13.220 --> 05:35:21.620 And from what we've seen in the past from both Firestrays and Crownfall, I mean, any specific strategies that come to your mind here, Legday and Firestray specifically. 05:35:21.620 --> 05:35:25.620 Well, this was the map where I discovered that Binary is that guy on Hulk. 05:35:25.620 --> 05:35:27.620 Yeah, and Butterscreen. 05:35:27.620 --> 05:35:30.620 Honestly, I like it while I'm talking about Firestrays. 05:35:30.620 --> 05:35:33.620 I gotta put them on my disappointed dad face. 05:35:33.620 --> 05:35:37.620 I had Firestrays as second in this group, in my friends. 05:35:37.620 --> 05:35:39.620 Like, for more, to be honest. 05:35:39.620 --> 05:35:41.620 I think I had them pretty high as well. 05:35:41.620 --> 05:35:45.620 It's not been great from Firestrays thus far. 05:35:45.620 --> 05:35:48.620 I expected, like, them up to seeing Hulk better. 05:35:48.620 --> 05:35:54.860 binauries probably the best if not one of the best hope in the MEA like Enzo showed that it's viable 05:35:54.860 --> 05:35:59.180 back on Hells Heaven fire strays haven't really shown that much of a support if you look at the 05:35:59.180 --> 05:36:05.260 the names on fire strays like I was thinking this team was gonna was gonna clean house but um 05:36:06.140 --> 05:36:10.940 like I don't know if they just come from such different backgrounds in terms of team structures 05:36:10.940 --> 05:36:16.300 they can't make it work together but they have they've been all over the place the the comms have 05:36:16.300 --> 05:36:23.500 been um well have they been I guess is the question have they been coming we'll find out today 05:36:23.500 --> 05:36:29.100 hopefully firestrays have been screaming hard in their week off to rescue their performance and maybe 05:36:29.100 --> 05:36:33.420 rescue their place in this group yeah and this looks like a classroom full of people but they've 05:36:33.420 --> 05:36:37.420 really uh started to outline who their starters are going to be and binary not only great at the 05:36:37.420 --> 05:36:43.820 whole but also I think a bright point on uh the venom which has been a huge topic for this meta 05:36:43.820 --> 05:36:49.420 and having a strong dive has really started to cement teams towards the entire echelon, 05:36:49.420 --> 05:36:51.740 which Fire Street is being a strong Venom team. 05:36:51.740 --> 05:36:56.060 First, he's a groundfall who have more towards the deathfall. 05:36:56.060 --> 05:37:00.780 He's really cool, and Plexo has been really one of the better group players to watch, 05:37:00.780 --> 05:37:04.300 and he's flexible at that, so I'm a big fan of this Vanguard lineup. 05:37:05.180 --> 05:37:09.260 I'm really a fan of these jerseys that we're seeing too from these teams, though. 05:37:09.260 --> 05:37:13.180 I gotta give all the credit where it is due to all the rosters actually showing out as best they can. 05:37:13.180 --> 05:37:18.460 even CrowdFall! They got their own logo on the outfits that they're wearing as well. 05:37:18.460 --> 05:37:22.380 But yeah, big shout-outs to these teams especially because like CrowdFall, I feel like this is a 05:37:22.380 --> 05:37:27.020 team that did pretty decent, right? They looked as solid as they could have against Team Vision. 05:37:27.020 --> 05:37:31.100 People were expecting big things from them, especially Coach Kuffy, who has the sauce in 05:37:31.100 --> 05:37:35.740 terms of like the ban and protect. It just feels like they haven't found their identity as a roster 05:37:35.740 --> 05:37:42.060 just yet. Yeah, the identity of this roster I think has gone pretty far on just Fahad and Majed 05:37:42.060 --> 05:37:48.380 being able to uh giga carry it for any cases like this roster had a little bit of a tumultuous 05:37:48.940 --> 05:37:55.820 entry through MRC they picked up Rosa after Rosa uh fell out of another organization which is 05:37:55.820 --> 05:38:01.580 which name doesn't come to me right now it was altery sports yeah yeah Rosa got taken from that 05:38:01.580 --> 05:38:06.620 ended up on this roster crown for i think that probably their main weakness as a roster is that 05:38:06.620 --> 05:38:12.860 that they've got two main vanguards, or that if they don't have access to a vanguard pool, 05:38:12.860 --> 05:38:15.020 flexibly can be a little bit of an issue. 05:38:15.020 --> 05:38:18.860 Roser is a fantastic group, a boohoo's also a great group and a great mag. 05:38:18.860 --> 05:38:23.500 I think a boohoo is strongest on a vanguard dead pool, but if that gets banned away, 05:38:23.500 --> 05:38:27.100 things start to get a little bit more dicey for them. 05:38:27.100 --> 05:38:33.100 But I'm excited to see Majed play, because I think that Majed is potentially one of the next big doists in the meeting. 05:38:33.100 --> 05:38:36.380 Yeah, and just they gotta fight over who's gonna be playing Elsa, 05:38:36.380 --> 05:38:41.180 And if no one gets Elsa, then what are these Fahad and Majed going to flex to? 05:38:41.180 --> 05:38:45.180 So that's that big identity question for them, but you could always lean on father, 05:38:45.180 --> 05:38:49.260 aka Abu, which Abu means father in Arabic, fun fact there. 05:38:49.260 --> 05:38:53.020 And he has been such a good brawler when it came to MRC. 05:38:53.020 --> 05:38:57.580 His role was chef's kiss on how he's able to pin people down, literally. 05:38:57.580 --> 05:39:00.940 And if it's not going to be the role that you don't get to see too often, 05:39:00.940 --> 05:39:02.900 it's going to be the death ball from Cramp fall. 05:39:02.900 --> 05:39:05.300 And I had this team higher in my power rankings. 05:39:05.300 --> 05:39:09.300 It's just that that loss to vision kind of took me by surprise. 05:39:09.300 --> 05:39:15.700 I expected more at a crown fall, but now that you have that weak break between them and now I'm expecting bigger things at a crown fall. 05:39:16.540 --> 05:39:27.540 Well, we'll see which of these two teams are able to rise to the challenge and take their first win on the docket for Group B here in the EMA region for the night preseason. 05:39:27.540 --> 05:39:30.420 But fire strays, they had a lot of expectations going into this. 05:39:30.420 --> 05:39:32.580 And unfortunately, they have not met them just yet. 05:39:32.580 --> 05:39:38.820 Crownfall the floor is as close as they can get to how high they can go from here on out 05:39:38.820 --> 05:39:42.860 I mean crownfall they look really solid at the start we expected big things 05:39:42.860 --> 05:39:48.340 But they've kind of settled where most people expected going into this actual bracket stage itself 05:39:48.340 --> 05:39:53.680 So now moving forward they still have a couple very important series to go this versus fire strays 05:39:53.680 --> 05:40:01.420 And then their last one that we'll see on Sunday versus reason gaming so every single map every single match is a must win 05:40:01.420 --> 05:40:03.420 for both of these teams. 05:40:03.420 --> 05:40:06.860 Fire Strays though, I think they have their work cut out for them. 05:40:06.860 --> 05:40:09.820 Crownfall's not going to make it easy like they for them to actually take this win. 05:40:09.820 --> 05:40:12.320 Yeah, Crownfall will have been doing that homework. 05:40:12.320 --> 05:40:15.320 They've got a very astute backline. 05:40:15.320 --> 05:40:19.320 They've got one of the better drafters in EMEA, 05:40:19.320 --> 05:40:21.820 in Demon S, formerly known as Aya Goddess, 05:40:21.820 --> 05:40:25.320 who's a very good band line analyst. 05:40:25.320 --> 05:40:31.020 So I'm expecting for Fire Strays to be remarkably hobbled if she's on form. 05:40:31.020 --> 05:40:35.420 Yeah, this is also a must win for Fireshrays, even though they could maybe afford the loss here. 05:40:35.420 --> 05:40:40.380 It's the fact that they still have VP, and let's just say everyone is losing to VP. 05:40:40.380 --> 05:40:47.740 Don't fence to anybody, but it's just a must win for Fireshrays, because that's a tough schedule still ahead of you. 05:40:47.740 --> 05:40:53.820 Yeah, I mean, looking on the side of Fireshrays as well, they're also going to be playing against Vision on that Sunday. 05:40:53.820 --> 05:40:59.180 So if they can get a win here, they'll look that much closer, potentially taking that spot out from underneath of Reason. 05:40:59.180 --> 05:41:02.020 and they dealt them a dish served cold 05:41:02.020 --> 05:41:04.900 in the 2-0 that they lost in that matchup. 05:41:04.900 --> 05:41:08.340 But now going into Cracolla, facing off against Crownfall. 05:41:08.340 --> 05:41:10.100 If they could start off on the right foot, 05:41:10.100 --> 05:41:12.300 this is their time to shine, 05:41:12.300 --> 05:41:14.940 especially because they have so much to pull from, 05:41:14.940 --> 05:41:17.780 including the different rosters that we could see of heroes. 05:41:17.780 --> 05:41:18.860 I'm really more interested though 05:41:18.860 --> 05:41:20.180 to see what we see out of Crownfall 05:41:20.180 --> 05:41:21.780 as we talked about some of their weaknesses 05:41:21.780 --> 05:41:22.620 going into this one. 05:41:22.620 --> 05:41:24.340 But it's Fire Strays versus Crownfall 05:41:24.340 --> 05:41:26.580 for our last series of the day. 05:41:26.580 --> 05:41:28.740 All right, let's head on into it. 05:41:28.740 --> 05:41:30.740 have some big brains behind 05:41:30.740 --> 05:41:31.740 and we've got coached Cuffy as well. 05:41:31.740 --> 05:41:33.740 Kind of like a Tom Scott video. 05:41:33.740 --> 05:41:35.740 I wonder where he's going to be coaching from this time 05:41:35.740 --> 05:41:37.740 if we get an interview later. 05:41:37.740 --> 05:41:40.740 But it seems like we're already diverging in terms of our bands. 05:41:40.740 --> 05:41:43.740 Fire strays are immediately taking away 05:41:43.740 --> 05:41:46.740 the capacity for Evera Majed or Fahad Kari 05:41:46.740 --> 05:41:47.740 on the Elsa. 05:41:47.740 --> 05:41:49.740 We're as crownful, more worried about the gambit. 05:41:49.740 --> 05:41:50.740 Hey, to expose those duelists 05:41:50.740 --> 05:41:52.740 and what those heroes are really going to look like now, 05:41:52.740 --> 05:41:56.740 Majed and Fahad don't have to fight over Elsa duties there. 05:41:56.740 --> 05:42:00.860 The last time we did see it, Crownfall on Krakowa, it was not pretty. 05:42:00.860 --> 05:42:06.740 I think it was a 200-O loss to RAD Esports, but you know, it is RAD. 05:42:06.740 --> 05:42:13.660 It is number one, number two in the group, but I'm looking more towards Abilumni's Doctor Strange Portal plays. 05:42:13.660 --> 05:42:16.060 That can be something that can really catch you off guard. 05:42:16.060 --> 05:42:20.460 And again, these terror capes from Ayano have been a huge proponent to these fight wins. 05:42:20.460 --> 05:42:23.300 So the Crownfall really got to step up there, Krakowa. 05:42:23.300 --> 05:42:29.140 He's really a little bit stronger, their devil off the table here really trying to 05:42:29.140 --> 05:42:36.140 constrain the head for Harden and Majed and interesting to see the Venom Band come on 05:42:36.140 --> 05:42:43.540 outgiven but we are likely to see at least two strategists be the Loki and the Mantis 05:42:43.540 --> 05:42:47.060 I wouldn't be surprised for an Ultron to be a third here because that hasn't been banned 05:42:47.060 --> 05:42:50.060 away by Crownfall. 05:42:50.060 --> 05:42:54.540 taking away the Venom from 05:42:54.940 --> 05:42:59.020 their own game, or at least to play a very different game, which 05:42:59.020 --> 05:43:03.580 binary has been one of the most more impressive Venoms to say the 05:43:03.580 --> 05:43:07.740 least and is a huge part of their win condition. So we'll see what a 05:43:07.740 --> 05:43:12.940 binary affects us to other than that. But Abu's on the road and 05:43:12.940 --> 05:43:17.420 this was such a standout to me on the MRC stage. I hope that they 05:43:17.420 --> 05:43:21.940 stick with it because to pin someone down if they're at a position to force the 05:43:21.940 --> 05:43:26.020 team to fight to back them up or to sacrifice them is what's really fun 05:43:26.020 --> 05:43:31.580 about watching a rogue team. Yeah we have seen some crazy road plays thus far in 05:43:31.580 --> 05:43:35.740 EMEA and in North America as well they really have been showing the rogue she 05:43:35.740 --> 05:43:39.500 works so well with the Gambit team up and might make it a little bit more 05:43:39.500 --> 05:43:43.500 difficult for Biner to stay in on that back line by giving a bunch of 05:43:43.500 --> 05:43:48.380 damage over onto the Hulk and just making sure that he's not comfortable in those melee ranges. 05:43:51.420 --> 05:43:58.380 The good girls from Crownfall and who they want to throw with you. And now a triple Vanguard with 05:43:58.380 --> 05:44:05.100 Fahad on the Deadpool. It's going to be really fun. And Fire Strays. Well, you know, Closer just plays 05:44:05.100 --> 05:44:11.100 so much Jeff. And now maybe demon flexing to something not in the duelist department, 05:44:11.100 --> 05:44:22.540 But, Jules asked with the White Fox after the buffs, but again, Washi's portal plays, watching through the eyes of Blastoise, oh, he's going to let it rain on crowdfowl here in a second. 05:44:22.540 --> 05:44:28.460 Watch for double damage boost here off the back of the Mantis boosted regeneration domain from Closer. 05:44:28.460 --> 05:44:37.140 If I were to get an instant lugging, if they can isolate one of these charges, see if it right now, the gamut might be in a more perilous position, but Blast actually a little bit too thick to fit between the portal and the building. 05:44:37.140 --> 05:44:40.060 Man, just to slide on through, eventually, Binary Hoot taking a bunch of damage, 05:44:40.060 --> 05:44:44.460 has to use his bubble selfishly as the Gamma Charger can be given over to anybody else 05:44:44.460 --> 05:44:47.060 after getting the Gamma Clap sucked out by the Rogue. 05:44:47.060 --> 05:44:49.220 That means even more damage gonna come on through, 05:44:49.220 --> 05:44:52.700 powerful, already in control of the point, and Black Scots can't stay there for long. 05:44:52.700 --> 05:44:55.860 So it's this little tacked-dance from Fire Shrazer to try and keep this one contested. 05:44:55.860 --> 05:44:59.580 Binary coming awfully close to returning to that Bruce Banner mech. 05:44:59.580 --> 05:45:03.740 You can see that Abuhu is just absolutely on top of Binary all the time. 05:45:03.740 --> 05:45:06.060 There's no comfort to be had. 05:45:06.060 --> 05:45:13.400 Finally, the slow play of this one is working out the fire strays and coming to turn around to the skill issue from Bahad is sent in on to the back line. 05:45:13.400 --> 05:45:23.260 Slopper is going to be the one to move on down in a boohoo who will return to a primary fight, noting that Bahad is once again without parental supervision and that's where Mama comes home to make it work. 05:45:23.260 --> 05:45:26.860 Yeah, such an early Van Hammer 2 from Bahad to longer. 05:45:26.860 --> 05:45:34.300 This fight goes the more that Deadpool is going to scale and also level up literally and metaphorically and then you've got the eternal bond. 05:45:34.300 --> 05:45:39.100 Yano has already formed that but the cap is still not come through so this is a marathon 05:46:04.300 --> 05:46:10.260 Good flexibility from Crownfall to kind of figure out a they've been able to play also almost every single match 05:46:10.260 --> 05:46:14.060 So this is already a different look from them running the triple vanguard 05:46:14.060 --> 05:46:20.020 But the brawl was what they were most known for in the MRC and again Abu can just floor anybody who is out of position 05:46:20.540 --> 05:46:26.340 Ayano saves and sustains the fight with the eternal bond and now you got a look towards Rosa with this meteor M 05:46:26.340 --> 05:46:28.860 To deny Slappo with this galactic legend 05:46:28.860 --> 05:46:35.360 He's already getting into a flank position and you got to be able to stop him quickly before he eliminates anyone in force. 05:46:36.360 --> 05:46:40.360 Yeah, Slappo. Passive damage boost as well. The pocket is strong. 05:46:40.360 --> 05:46:43.360 Is there going to be enough to try and find the value here? 05:46:43.360 --> 05:46:46.360 You're gonna already see a move. You want to that knowing that they aren't gonna be in too much trouble now. 05:46:46.360 --> 05:46:49.360 That's gonna be the meteorite because of the skyduster that has it in them. 05:46:49.360 --> 05:46:53.360 Nice bubble went on over. It can only be burst by the meteorite and so does the reality. 05:46:53.360 --> 05:46:57.160 is delivered, a counter strike with the group that there's going to be a spiritual 05:46:57.160 --> 05:47:01.080 sanctuary in the midst of all of it. It's like that moves even further forward and for 05:47:01.080 --> 05:47:04.960 harders getting extra help up the back of any miss shots from the target of their 05:47:04.960 --> 05:47:08.880 skill issue. They'll be going to be chased down down the Iron Volley. It's easily 05:47:08.880 --> 05:47:12.600 dealing with this one and Fire Shrazy should be able to flip it. 05:47:12.600 --> 05:47:16.600 Nearly investments from Crownfall is what got them to the 60% but it also meant the 05:47:16.600 --> 05:47:21.360 second fight. They didn't really have anything to go against Fire Shrazy. I guess you were 05:47:21.360 --> 05:47:23.560 were able to stop the galactic legend from Swapo, 05:47:23.560 --> 05:47:26.960 but there was so much left in the team from Fire Strays, 05:47:26.960 --> 05:47:28.040 Stringland Prison and all. 05:47:28.040 --> 05:47:30.720 And now they watch on the high ground as drownfall hope 05:47:30.720 --> 05:47:33.240 to dismantle Fire Strays at a distance, 05:47:33.240 --> 05:47:36.760 but also safely rotate towards the waterfall side of the map. 05:47:36.760 --> 05:47:38.540 Swapo needs to be careful how much he's flying 05:47:38.540 --> 05:47:39.380 through the air. 05:47:39.380 --> 05:47:40.560 There's not a lot of aerial cover 05:47:40.560 --> 05:47:41.800 and it's almost like Blacksword is trying 05:47:41.800 --> 05:47:44.080 to create that cover with those group walls 05:47:44.080 --> 05:47:46.120 on the stumps, I'm liking that. 05:47:46.120 --> 05:47:48.000 Yes, Swapo is continuously tempting trade, 05:47:48.000 --> 05:47:50.280 but Blacksword gonna find himself alone right now. 05:47:50.280 --> 05:48:20.240 Yeah, the sustain from fire is 05:48:20.240 --> 05:48:25.520 is so strong. I mean the fact that there was an end song in Furno from Majed and 05:48:25.520 --> 05:48:29.720 you just barely saw it because it just only scratched the surface of the shiny 05:48:29.720 --> 05:48:33.320 armor that Fire Shraze have. They have officially taken the lead and they're 05:48:33.320 --> 05:48:37.640 ready to stomp the yard with Kunio Form and Slopo which in a defensive 05:48:37.640 --> 05:48:40.880 position you can find some really creative angles with this galactic legend. 05:48:40.880 --> 05:48:47.000 Alright, in coming big damage. They want the other Koji and they will be able to get them but the rest of the members are still 05:48:47.000 --> 05:48:52.440 Afflicted by this ultimate from the gambit knows that that you can get away into focus the zin on other targets 05:48:52.440 --> 05:48:56.560 Brina pastures may be so a boot who found the load behind gonna be a little bit 05:48:57.520 --> 05:49:02.520 Danger to try and take down with that much HP that sees a boo boo falling low make a form versus two 05:49:02.520 --> 05:49:05.280 That's not very things better on that for now and say goes to cover their backline 05:49:05.280 --> 05:49:10.400 It's a rental assault from the deadpool of it a quick sleep coming through not should that one cancel the alter 05:49:10.400 --> 05:49:16.720 It may still have gone through and this engage gives over a moment of respite to crown for the first race ready to clap back 05:49:16.720 --> 05:49:23.720 at a moment's notice, and DMN also has the kumi hose, ready to be unleashed once we're finished slicing through the white fox claws. 05:49:23.720 --> 05:49:31.720 Incoming now, a boo who has to flee away on top of it all, is the strangling prison of the group, and now Sopo's ready to chase down the strategists. 05:49:31.720 --> 05:49:36.720 A quick one-clips looking good to me, and Mothra is going to be a last chance. Saloon here from Majed. 05:49:36.720 --> 05:49:43.720 I don't think they've got all of the backup that they need. Ayano Koji next to Fall, and Sopo gets a nice spray transfer, 05:49:43.720 --> 05:49:51.880 of fire strays claim the first points and on grove to fire strays just when 05:49:51.880 --> 05:49:56.160 you're at that 99% mark you have a lot more freedom of where you want to take 05:49:56.160 --> 05:49:59.800 the fight you can extend outwards you can go for flanks crown for our force 05:49:59.800 --> 05:50:04.600 really make sure they focus on their vanguards to keep anchoring the point 05:50:04.600 --> 05:50:07.960 or else the overtime is gonna go away and they're gonna lose the round crown 05:50:07.960 --> 05:50:11.520 falls they had an extended fight so they have some both of it they kick off this 05:50:11.520 --> 05:50:16.160 next one like the galactic legend but crown fall the brawl really started to 05:50:16.160 --> 05:50:20.320 falter to the stronger poke and also the sustaining that crown fall just couldn't 05:50:20.320 --> 05:50:24.720 go up against so you're gonna need this brawl from crown fall to not just work 05:50:24.720 --> 05:50:29.240 from front to back but find its way around as well you cannot let's nost and 05:50:29.240 --> 05:50:34.160 and even in closer just put this unlimited amount of heels or fire 05:50:34.160 --> 05:50:38.080 strays are never going to fall and they will have the advantage going into this 05:50:38.080 --> 05:50:44.520 Crownfall though decided to get rid of that galactic legend that they were just about to get in exchange for a anymore 05:50:45.960 --> 05:50:49.600 Namor maybe a little bit better at hunting down something like a demon 05:50:49.900 --> 05:50:57.840 There is a little bit of weakness in white box to poke based heroes like Namor and doesn't really have a great method of dealing with 05:50:57.840 --> 05:51:00.340 those squids on the walls either could really try and 05:51:01.040 --> 05:51:02.640 tax 05:51:02.640 --> 05:51:06.640 Slopper's attention span meaning that they're the only playing who can really take Rose down easily. 05:51:06.640 --> 05:51:13.640 Yeah, you gotta be careful playing on the point here because the groupwalking can come up behind you and separate you from the strategist and Crown 4 are learning that the hard way. 05:51:13.640 --> 05:51:25.640 All closer from stealth managed to get their hands on the stolen Gambit ultimate, managed to get an LOS on Ayano Koji and that makes the firestreaks have an ultimate, but I don't think Crown 4 were quite prepared for here. 05:51:25.640 --> 05:51:28.640 And Slopper really managed to get the value out of that one. It's gonna be first cap. 05:51:28.640 --> 05:51:35.760 Abu to the Deadpool from the Rogue needing a bit more ways to defend themselves because 05:51:35.760 --> 05:51:40.080 man Rogue do punch hard but cannot really protect herself at times or at least very 05:51:40.080 --> 05:51:42.000 very briefly. 05:51:42.000 --> 05:51:45.320 But Abu unfortunately got walled off from the groove which already spelled the beginning 05:51:45.320 --> 05:51:49.680 of the demise from Crownfall along with the ultimate like he pointed out from Closer 05:51:49.680 --> 05:51:53.920 who's looking to close out this next fight jump through some hoops and namely some brute 05:51:53.920 --> 05:51:57.880 walls that Blacksid was left behind and he got the strangling prison and Swabo is something 05:51:57.880 --> 05:51:59.880 different on the menu of the mod. 05:52:27.880 --> 05:52:30.080 finding dominance in the 05:52:30.080 --> 05:52:31.480 that they were looking for. 05:52:31.480 --> 05:52:32.720 Yeah, beautiful climbs and 05:52:32.720 --> 05:52:33.920 card management from my 05:52:33.920 --> 05:52:35.680 gano on the gambit and 05:52:35.680 --> 05:52:37.020 strangling prison just would 05:52:37.020 --> 05:52:39.420 be a one end all be all. 05:52:39.420 --> 05:52:40.600 Although conserving it for 05:52:40.600 --> 05:52:42.060 the future is always great, 05:52:42.060 --> 05:52:43.240 but watch out for the Horn 05:52:43.240 --> 05:52:45.160 of Ferties from Majed and 05:52:45.160 --> 05:52:46.740 how the fire streets play 05:52:46.740 --> 05:52:48.340 clumped at this choke point 05:52:48.340 --> 05:52:50.040 that this could really buy 05:52:50.040 --> 05:52:51.600 time for fire trees to get 05:52:51.600 --> 05:52:53.680 this semantle, but now it's 05:52:53.680 --> 05:52:54.640 going to be an alternative 05:52:54.640 --> 05:52:55.880 route as crown floor is still 05:52:55.880 --> 05:52:57.140 tracking where this push is 05:52:57.140 --> 05:53:01.300 going to be coming from. And besides the kumiho form, Byershree don't have a lot going for it. 05:53:01.300 --> 05:53:05.460 Oh, good news. You've got to be careful. Good tracking there from Binary. A healing solid as 05:53:05.460 --> 05:53:09.860 well. And Majed is developing this other angle. Forcing attention away from their own smile, 05:53:09.860 --> 05:53:13.940 vanguard. Unable to find the madcow in common with either Binary. Misses out on the chance to 05:53:13.940 --> 05:53:18.180 get rid of that Neymar in short order. Or at least force out the blessing of Badi. Sopo plays the 05:53:18.180 --> 05:53:22.500 corner. Using this high ground is super important here to try and get some free pressure over onto 05:53:22.500 --> 05:53:26.180 that backline. And here comes the kumiho unleash. The rest of the cramp will need to move forward 05:53:26.180 --> 05:53:27.820 on to the point to get this one contested. 05:53:27.820 --> 05:53:29.860 Without Rosa, it's going to be even more difficult. 05:53:29.860 --> 05:53:31.780 It seems like it's down to the Vanguard 05:53:31.780 --> 05:53:33.340 Deadpool to make that happen. 05:53:33.340 --> 05:53:35.700 Derby cornered by the two versus one. 05:53:35.700 --> 05:53:37.020 Damon and Slothorn on the flank. 05:53:37.020 --> 05:53:38.940 They're absolute demons right now. 05:53:38.940 --> 05:53:41.100 And Iana Coaches get nowhere to go. 05:53:41.100 --> 05:53:44.020 They're into the arms of Groot and he's here for a hug. 05:53:44.020 --> 05:53:45.460 He's here for a slapping. 05:53:45.460 --> 05:53:47.540 It's a last second contest from Crownfield. 05:53:47.540 --> 05:53:50.140 They've made this fight long enough with them in control. 05:53:50.140 --> 05:53:53.020 We're not fit to not be a complete loss. 05:53:53.020 --> 05:53:58.660 Just fire streets know how to manipulate the fight on their terms like these lack so was happening amazing 05:53:58.660 --> 05:54:03.760 The section of crown fall from each other and just at least by enough time where you can claim these 05:54:04.060 --> 05:54:09.620 Eliminations before crown fall with the triple strategies can bail them out. That is huge and even with the hall and the 05:54:10.060 --> 05:54:12.060 Fajada should say with the karmic revival 05:54:12.060 --> 05:54:17.900 It still wasn't enough for crown fall to keep on kicking and speaking of kicking. I was getting busy 05:54:17.900 --> 05:54:21.900 As he catches them on the engage, now extra damage coming through as well, 05:54:21.900 --> 05:54:25.900 courtesy of the raging royal flesh. So much has been needed now. 05:54:25.900 --> 05:54:28.900 Oh, good dodge coming through from Dami. Extra movement speed with solid. 05:54:28.900 --> 05:54:31.900 Seems like there's still gonna be Rosa trying to make something happen off of that. 05:54:31.900 --> 05:54:36.900 The back of this great grab onto the high, trying to shut down any potential for a resurrection. 05:54:36.900 --> 05:54:40.900 And indeed, the Thorn Lash Wars, who won't find the final blow right there. 05:54:40.900 --> 05:54:44.900 Like so now, Ice Scythe Rosa away from Mestra is just cutting off the healing. 05:54:44.900 --> 05:54:51.700 Try and make sure these hangouts have no where to go on fire. Shraze their low key closer can watch from above and be 05:54:51.700 --> 05:54:55.500 Pretty much unclutchable while crown fall their strategy star a lot more exposed 05:54:55.500 --> 05:54:59.900 It's probably the freedom to flank like this and this should solidify the first map 05:54:59.900 --> 05:55:01.900 But a portal comes in from the hot 05:55:01.900 --> 05:55:05.220 That's gonna bring multiple players back. We're down on the java down on the other 05:55:05.220 --> 05:55:09.980 I don't know what happened. Maybe there must have been a body block or something on the portal to stop the 05:55:09.980 --> 05:55:14.700 extra-cation over the barking. That means Fire Strays have no one to contest them. 05:55:14.700 --> 05:55:18.700 And it's a quick two-oh, good turnaround here for Fire Strays who look like they're coming today. 05:55:19.660 --> 05:55:23.980 And that is what's important because they were already kind of thrown about in the 05:55:23.980 --> 05:55:29.500 ban and protect phase. But Plaxo for me on this group made it so once they were able to play 05:55:29.500 --> 05:55:33.820 on the objective there was no one who was going to be stepping in. And when you have this crown 05:55:33.820 --> 05:55:39.420 fall team that plays so much around the brawl, the group is amazing at breaking up those vanguards. 05:55:39.420 --> 05:55:45.900 and just forcing off angles and then all crowdfowl are thrown out of sorts they're pushed away from their vanguards 05:55:45.900 --> 05:55:51.900 which we'd swap out could go and flank the strategies while they're walled off from the grood so it was just an amazing approach 05:55:52.060 --> 05:55:55.500 to that map and fire straights very well deserving of that plan 05:55:55.940 --> 05:56:00.000 Yeah, great damage done here as well by Black Soak coming out with 05:56:01.220 --> 05:56:05.580 20.3k on the group which is nothing to sniff at and very low 05:56:05.580 --> 05:56:09.800 So casualties across the board as well for Firestrays, it felt like with this triple 05:56:09.800 --> 05:56:12.640 strategy we're still doing a fantastic job of covering all their bases. 05:56:12.640 --> 05:56:17.020 Even if I play Lost they often were playing at the scene gauge and not losing too many 05:56:17.020 --> 05:56:21.100 players so not put feet ever more outcharged to Crown Full than was absolutely necessary 05:56:21.100 --> 05:56:23.820 to play for that objective. 05:56:23.820 --> 05:56:28.860 I appreciate like Abu trying to swap him, what is going to be the best anchor vanguard 05:56:28.860 --> 05:56:33.820 to get around, whether it was a road or a Deadpool and it's, they had strong poker, 05:56:33.820 --> 05:56:40.060 Stalker Pog with the Deadpool Odyssey as a gun, Pog has myths, but if just Krausvald didn't have the obvious conditions, 05:56:40.060 --> 05:56:44.460 Roy said that a good job of trying to use the meteor and to stop Stalker's galactic legend, 05:56:44.460 --> 05:56:48.780 but Firestrays had more in their arsenal than just the Lord with a gun. 05:56:48.780 --> 05:56:53.660 Firestrays have getting to use the low key to get the C-closer really shine, 05:56:53.660 --> 05:56:56.620 new ability to flex to whatever Firestray's teasing. 05:56:56.620 --> 05:57:15.020 I think we have seen a lot of good additions here from Blacks over there. 05:57:15.020 --> 05:57:16.540 The hangars are looking strong. 05:57:16.540 --> 05:57:17.040 What's your status? 05:57:17.040 --> 05:57:18.540 How do you try and shut them down when you're mapping? 05:57:18.540 --> 05:57:19.540 Thanks, Matt. 05:57:30.420 --> 05:57:31.120 BAD! 05:57:31.120 --> 05:57:32.120 TASTIC! 05:59:45.020 --> 06:00:14.980 Potentially, our last map of today's action for day one of week two for Ignite 3. 06:00:14.980 --> 06:00:19.840 pre-season in EMEA and fire strays they woke up. This is the team that we 06:00:19.840 --> 06:00:23.200 expected to see they put the headsets on and started talking and I love to see 06:00:23.200 --> 06:00:28.100 you Jen. That was what we were promised like we promised you guys at home 06:00:28.100 --> 06:00:33.100 somebody was going to win this series and get their first win in Ignite and it 06:00:33.100 --> 06:00:37.920 starts here trying to avoid being one of those two bottom teams from elimination 06:00:37.920 --> 06:00:42.400 and teams like fire strays still have VP in their schedule so it's still a very 06:00:42.400 --> 06:00:46.400 high stakes, so little time when you're just in the best of three. 06:00:46.400 --> 06:00:51.200 Yeah, I mean, talking about that, I think they just have to, like we heard from Heretic 06:00:51.200 --> 06:00:54.520 Stake, it won the game at a time, and won a series at a time. 06:00:54.520 --> 06:00:59.320 You can't think of the behemoth ahead of you, you gotta focus on the little guy first, and 06:00:59.320 --> 06:01:01.520 that seems to be what they're doing here and now. 06:01:01.520 --> 06:01:05.760 But, uh, like-day on the back end, we're seeing a little bit of a roster swap around, subbing 06:01:05.760 --> 06:01:09.160 to happening for this map too, why don't you break it down for us? 06:01:09.160 --> 06:01:15.160 Yeah, fast rays are going to be putting demon on the bench for a little bit of time that they're bringing in 06:01:15.160 --> 06:01:23.160 Sustroid, who has quite the cabal of fans in EMEA. Sustroid is one of more tenured pro players in the region 06:01:23.160 --> 06:01:30.160 and is a fantastic hitscan player. If I had to characterize them in one particular way, great Hallow player, great Phoenix player 06:01:30.160 --> 06:01:35.160 might well be an excellent Elsa as well, but I kind of expect that to go the way of Sloppo. 06:01:35.160 --> 06:01:40.860 The middle East Sloppo historically has been playing more projectiles like the Human Torch or the Namor. 06:01:40.860 --> 06:01:47.960 So maybe this is a play where Firestrays are going to go for the first protect on the Elsa rather than the Mantis as they did last time. 06:01:47.960 --> 06:02:00.860 But I think they're not as worried about going up against a Gambit as even without an Elsa, they seem to be managed to get whatever on the Gambit team, which was fairly impressive. 06:02:00.860 --> 06:02:17.860 This is the fact that we haven't seen it destroyed at all and ignite yet, doesn't worry me and you know the whole rule of it ain't broke, don't fix it, well it ain't broke, well what are we trying to fix here and maybe trying to give everybody some time in the group stage, but Hall of the Jolly is what's going to be picked here by Krumpfau. 06:02:17.860 --> 06:02:23.180 I think there must be like some strategy some practice that they had in the last week that we don't know about yet 06:02:23.180 --> 06:02:26.020 And might be why they're summing them in could also just be paying issues 06:02:26.020 --> 06:02:29.560 Some players have been having their own internet issues on that end as well 06:02:29.560 --> 06:02:31.340 We don't know till we get into the map itself 06:02:31.340 --> 06:02:33.860 But one thing we do know is that it's gonna be swapped sides 06:02:33.860 --> 06:02:39.500 So fire strays because they have the choice of side, but they didn't have the choice of math 06:02:39.500 --> 06:02:44.100 They're actually picking to be on the attacking side. Let's go around instead of defense, which is pretty interesting 06:02:44.100 --> 06:02:46.580 We'll see if that strategy works out well enough for them 06:02:46.580 --> 06:02:50.460 Maybe they have a unique band that protects strategy as well because again 06:02:50.460 --> 06:02:54.540 They get the two bands first rather than the band and the save we'll see for this one 06:02:54.540 --> 06:03:01.700 I mean it's a really interesting map pick from crown fall because they picked a midtown convoy almost every single time as their map 06:03:01.700 --> 06:03:03.740 To because they go to a lot of map twos on their choice 06:03:03.740 --> 06:03:06.740 And yeah, it hasn't always worked out 06:03:06.860 --> 06:03:11.620 But it was a comfort pick and this is a pretty well-known venom map for binary 06:03:11.620 --> 06:03:16.900 This is his playground. So you're going to a Venom map where crown follows more of a brawl team. So 06:03:17.220 --> 06:03:19.780 Uh, they got something up their sleeve. I just don't know what it is 06:03:20.580 --> 06:03:22.980 This is why I love this stage of the competition 06:03:23.140 --> 06:03:29.780 Every team has something up their sleeve and hopefully it's going to be the winning card for them and fire strays looking for the 06:03:29.780 --> 06:03:34.340 To especially if they want to make it out of the grip stage and win through those tiebreakers crown ball 06:03:34.420 --> 06:03:40.820 This is do or die for them if they drop here. They drop out of the playoff running. So we'll see who takes map two 06:03:41.620 --> 06:03:47.080 Alright, let's get stuck into our band's crown for on a razor's edge 06:03:47.080 --> 06:03:52.080 But fire strays looking resurgent like what was promised for now and snossed 06:03:52.460 --> 06:03:58.920 He's going to be able to secure their own mantis here. We're not seeing as I predicted that first Elsa band 06:03:58.920 --> 06:04:04.060 That's only going to be one of the things that fire strays really focuses in on it might just get rid of the Loki here though 06:04:04.060 --> 06:04:07.680 Give what was done last time by fire strays about last protect on Loki 06:04:07.680 --> 06:04:13.480 This could give crown force and force of thought but now they say you know what I also know also no gambit 06:04:13.480 --> 06:04:16.920 No fun, but I'd like to see crownfall protect the mantis or something 06:04:16.920 --> 06:04:23.680 That's gonna deal with the upcoming binary venom if that does flow through because we had a venom ban in the 06:04:23.720 --> 06:04:27.360 In the previous maps of binary had to flex to something else. So 06:04:27.960 --> 06:04:35.520 That will be a future problem. But yeah, the the Loki the mantis all these team ups were very strong in the previous map 06:04:35.520 --> 06:04:39.560 Alright, might be a play for a one-sided Loki here. 06:04:39.560 --> 06:04:42.520 Wouldn't be surprised to see Crownfall pivot into the Loki band themselves. 06:04:42.520 --> 06:04:47.000 Question is, do you want to try and take away Abu-Hu's Deadpool Vanguard as well, 06:04:47.000 --> 06:04:49.880 which is one of the main tools that Crownfall are using? 06:04:49.880 --> 06:04:53.320 Oh, might be a one-sided Deadpool Vanguard here. 06:04:53.320 --> 06:04:56.480 Wouldn't be surprised to see a Protect on it come through from Crownfall, 06:04:56.480 --> 06:05:00.400 as it is going to be Majed's Daredevil, which is taken away. 06:05:00.400 --> 06:05:07.600 And from Crown Falls matches so far, they have just never been allowed to play gambit. 06:05:07.600 --> 06:05:12.600 So didn't really work out for them in the first snap, but Ayano has so much more to 06:05:12.600 --> 06:05:18.800 show us and we'll be able to do more of that because that's such a strong win condition 06:05:18.800 --> 06:05:23.080 and focused around that team play, which Crown Fire is still working to match a fire 06:05:23.080 --> 06:05:24.080 straight level. 06:05:24.080 --> 06:05:30.580 I think there's a world here where Crownfall aren't as worried about the Mantis Loki without 06:05:30.580 --> 06:05:33.240 Demons, White Fox in the mix. 06:05:33.240 --> 06:05:39.660 But Sestroy does have quite the add-on on him as well, so that could be a factor defensively 06:05:39.660 --> 06:05:41.600 that needs to be considered later. 06:05:41.600 --> 06:05:44.000 But unlikely to see it on the attack. 06:05:44.000 --> 06:05:48.560 I imagine Majed is once again going to be picking up that Namor, which has a fantastic place 06:05:48.560 --> 06:05:50.160 on Horde of Sharia defense. 06:05:50.160 --> 06:05:53.400 Really able to play these high grounds and is difficult at this lodge as when you go 06:05:53.400 --> 06:05:56.760 through that window on some high ground you've got to contain with double squids but are hiding 06:05:56.760 --> 06:06:02.120 out in some of the grass up on that little garden and does make name more quite a tricky customer. 06:06:03.000 --> 06:06:07.720 And whether Binary goes to the Vendor or the Hulk, I think Hulk has better punishing power 06:06:07.720 --> 06:06:12.280 in terms of being able to exile someone that's out of position or to keep them in that position 06:06:12.280 --> 06:06:17.560 when the team is on a disengage. So Binary is going to be the biggest threat that I'm looking 06:06:17.560 --> 06:06:23.080 forward to watching because I think this is a perfect map for any kind of pseudo dive team. 06:06:23.080 --> 06:06:29.900 You see going forward the firestrays can't close it out because chemistry wise communication wise as we've noted 06:06:29.900 --> 06:06:32.100 They've looked like they've gotten on the same page 06:06:33.340 --> 06:06:35.580 Yeah, finally talking to each other 06:06:36.220 --> 06:06:41.380 They got the server invites, you know, and this is certainly the first race I was expecting 06:06:41.380 --> 06:06:46.040 But I also have cramp all going through in my predictions. So, uh, no matter who wins 06:06:46.620 --> 06:06:49.620 I'm going to be looking rather silly. I 06:06:49.620 --> 06:06:55.980 I think all of our predictions have been thrown into the bin and did you guys know you could do that in-game and get rewards? 06:06:55.980 --> 06:07:03.060 Well, guess what you should do that eventually. That's my throw lemon. I mean you got the heretics plug. I gotta help out here 06:07:03.060 --> 06:07:10.900 Oh, we were coming in unexpectedly a port was trying most of these places like I mean through with the soul bond as well 06:07:10.900 --> 06:07:14.340 That's why you see the Iron Man here getting that additional 06:07:14.340 --> 06:07:18.580 ability able to try and get as much value as possible out of the armor overdrive but since 06:07:18.580 --> 06:07:23.220 their first engagement didn't go great here for fire strays they're now a little bit stuck. 06:07:23.220 --> 06:07:27.060 They're now going to be as powerful of an instrument. They've already lost out on binary to a wrath of 06:07:27.060 --> 06:07:31.460 the seven seas sent out by magics and the rest of fire strays their disengagement path has not 06:07:31.460 --> 06:07:38.100 put them in an in an enviable position. They are kind of stranded right now. And there is no raft 06:07:38.100 --> 06:07:42.420 coming for them like fire strays and when it's so deep they're getting christmas presents for next 06:07:42.420 --> 06:07:46.440 this year. This was not the rotation I was expecting. I liked the high ground 06:07:46.440 --> 06:07:50.660 hella poor or the portal I should say, but just need to focus on taking it one 06:07:50.660 --> 06:07:54.420 step at a time. Okay, just get the first tick on the objective. Okay, we've got 06:07:54.420 --> 06:07:58.940 that going and let your folk do all the talking, looking at this Iron Man as your 06:07:58.940 --> 06:08:02.340 solo rule is. Well, I am a coach. You at least have a lot of space to work with 06:08:02.340 --> 06:08:05.340 here. There's some respawns are coming. I believe it's not these nostrils pelting 06:08:05.340 --> 06:08:09.060 them the spores from across the map and fire straights despite grabbing that 06:08:09.060 --> 06:08:13.700 early frag onto the heart seem to have been unable to do too much of a space. They have claimed the 06:08:13.700 --> 06:08:17.540 hydra, which gives them a good place to try and work from. You can hear another armor overdrive 06:08:17.540 --> 06:08:22.180 now being used by the Iron Man. The strike almost has themselves a resurrection as well. 06:08:22.180 --> 06:08:27.620 The invisible boundary gives so much cover from which Sloppo can continue to beam down again and 06:08:27.620 --> 06:08:32.580 again. Out comes the horn of process all in on to closer. Can they find a frag, break stuff 06:08:32.580 --> 06:08:36.980 and may not have a coachie? Once not, can send them off in that inshore order as they get the 06:08:36.980 --> 06:08:41.620 bubble as well. It's going to be very difficult to try and find a resurrection on this one as they are 06:08:41.620 --> 06:08:46.180 so far out there. They're going to give it their best. Cestruid gets the pedometer out and counts 06:08:46.180 --> 06:08:50.180 for steps. Derby there for the Re-Contest. The Raging War of Flush is going to give it a little bit 06:08:50.180 --> 06:08:53.700 of additional staying power, but it's not doing everyone to everyone. If the hard loses out on the 06:08:53.700 --> 06:08:58.660 end, Song Inferno, great focused fire from Fire Strays. The binary loses their ultimate as well. 06:08:58.660 --> 06:09:03.380 Stung down of a feast of the Abyss and a quick dip into spawn from Arjun to get a touch more HP, 06:09:03.380 --> 06:09:05.580 that is not going to be able to hold onto it alone. 06:09:05.580 --> 06:09:08.220 Oh, Rose is good when it comes to the mechanics, 06:09:08.220 --> 06:09:10.100 but three stuns from Blacks. 06:09:10.100 --> 06:09:13.260 So the sorcerer Supreme go in Thanos mode here, 06:09:13.260 --> 06:09:15.300 and Snoss finds the end of it. 06:09:15.300 --> 06:09:17.780 It was a good initial invisible boundary from Fire Shrieze. 06:09:17.780 --> 06:09:20.180 He created the safe haven and an anchor point. 06:09:20.180 --> 06:09:21.700 He got initial two picks. 06:09:21.700 --> 06:09:24.340 There was that portal to recontest from Crownfall. 06:09:24.340 --> 06:09:27.140 But I don't know how this jab is mixing into the mix, right? 06:09:27.140 --> 06:09:29.420 You don't really need speed for your Psylocke 06:09:29.420 --> 06:09:31.540 if you're going to be defending in the fight coming to you. 06:09:31.540 --> 06:09:33.680 and then you're just in the midst of everything. 06:09:33.680 --> 06:09:35.720 You're getting a lot more power from an invisible boundary 06:09:35.720 --> 06:09:37.780 than you are from an IS-Jeph, 06:09:37.780 --> 06:09:40.080 although Yanna did at least claim the Mantis. 06:09:40.080 --> 06:09:43.020 Firestrikes were still able to propel forward 06:09:43.020 --> 06:09:45.420 with the wealth of ultimates that they had created 06:09:45.420 --> 06:09:47.960 over several minutes in that fight, 06:09:47.960 --> 06:09:51.120 which is gonna meet a more minimal time bank going forward. 06:09:51.120 --> 06:09:53.800 The binary is on what he knows best, the Venom, 06:09:53.800 --> 06:09:55.560 and almost with the Feast of the Abyss, 06:09:55.560 --> 06:09:59.200 to get these helpers nice and low for Sloppo to finish off. 06:09:59.200 --> 06:10:00.900 Oh, it could be a big block off the heels here. 06:10:00.900 --> 06:10:03.780 Oh, Rosa, a little bit too late to pop them into your ram, 06:10:03.780 --> 06:10:07.300 and so the Dark Maelstrom was able to take out the remainder of their health bar. 06:10:07.500 --> 06:10:09.000 Now down on that main guard, 06:10:09.000 --> 06:10:11.900 things start to get a touch more complicated for Crownsville, 06:10:11.900 --> 06:10:14.400 and losing Sarlux not gonna be helpful at all. 06:10:14.400 --> 06:10:16.800 A frenzied arrival squashes them under foot for hard, 06:10:16.800 --> 06:10:18.500 can't stand up the Black Souls. 06:10:18.800 --> 06:10:20.600 Dondomnitable advance. 06:10:22.200 --> 06:10:22.900 Got it. 06:10:23.500 --> 06:10:26.600 Just having a Star Lord that doesn't have an Invisal on the other side, 06:10:26.600 --> 06:10:27.700 thank God for that ban, 06:10:27.700 --> 06:10:30.060 and Igano's going to just have to make do without it 06:10:30.060 --> 06:10:32.420 and fireshades are making do with all this momentum. 06:10:32.420 --> 06:10:35.100 Now going for a portal to block the entry way 06:10:35.100 --> 06:10:38.860 or to really force Crownfall to squeeze through, 06:10:38.860 --> 06:10:41.540 but if Crownfall can re-surge in, 06:10:41.540 --> 06:10:42.780 it's going to be a good fight for the dance 06:10:42.780 --> 06:10:44.220 or the butterflies. 06:10:44.220 --> 06:10:46.140 As long as you can try to take down closer 06:10:46.140 --> 06:10:47.580 before the invisible boundary. 06:10:47.580 --> 06:10:49.140 Oh, where's my squeeze on through? 06:10:49.140 --> 06:10:51.300 That's the person who really needs to make that one happen. 06:10:51.300 --> 06:10:53.540 Igano Koji, waiting for the wrath of Ultron 2, 06:10:53.540 --> 06:10:55.020 be able to before they land, 06:10:55.020 --> 06:10:57.180 knowing that they will be the primary target of that one. 06:10:57.180 --> 06:11:00.500 How comes the Raging Royal Flash? This is where Crownfall needs to try and make something happen. 06:11:00.500 --> 06:11:03.540 They've lost out on Rosa though, but Closest has been traded on the other side. 06:11:03.540 --> 06:11:07.460 It's not supposed to plays in micro angles, so make sure there's always some cover to try and work around. 06:11:07.460 --> 06:11:10.780 But when it comes to control with the point, Fire Shracing seems to be all over this finale. 06:11:10.780 --> 06:11:14.220 And it falls through a boo-hoo to shut down the Vanguard to a there. 06:11:15.020 --> 06:11:21.300 Yacht was always on an off angle on the Jeff Poo, so it seems like Crownfall's strat line is very safe. 06:11:21.300 --> 06:11:26.780 And he's able to continue the resources, but Mached just gets a little too eager to get active. 06:11:26.780 --> 06:11:33.280 They still don't even see the dance of the butterflies, but Albu is going to take matters into their own hands and almost abide themselves here. 06:11:33.280 --> 06:11:38.280 Yeah, just debuffs the invisible woman, making sure that any miss is thoroughly punished, but not missing at this point. 06:11:38.280 --> 06:11:41.780 Oh, the bounce is good for stuns! They're triplicate! 06:11:41.780 --> 06:11:45.780 Oh, and the triumphant of stuns turns into a duo of causalities. 06:11:45.780 --> 06:11:52.280 Crownfall find themselves surprised by Black Soul. Didn't know this pro had so much motion on the strange. 06:11:52.280 --> 06:11:56.760 Uh, Crownfall, I don't think they've ever heard of stability, it's like they get so 06:11:56.760 --> 06:12:02.440 eager to avenge their fallen teammates that you forget the whole point is to defend and 06:12:02.440 --> 06:12:07.400 the firestress has got some extra staggers too, with three, almost three minutes for 06:12:07.400 --> 06:12:11.800 the final point and these staggers, they're going to be setting up their next fight beautifully 06:12:11.800 --> 06:12:17.000 along with assault resurgence and almost a galactic legend with such an open area of 06:12:17.000 --> 06:12:21.240 Crownfall, leave that back hallway, they're going to be in a lot of trouble, I need to 06:12:21.240 --> 06:12:28.240 crowd fall, take things slow and relax and build up towards these win conditions, aka the ultimates. 06:12:51.240 --> 06:12:55.280 some of that damage towards the backline of Firestraight is going to be even more space 06:12:55.280 --> 06:12:57.240 gained here by Fire. 06:12:57.240 --> 06:13:02.440 Fawbro continues to have all the freedom in the world and almost the invincibility cake 06:13:02.440 --> 06:13:08.840 to just be able to flank and a beautiful timing to come out of the smoke and to target Dabi 06:13:08.840 --> 06:13:13.700 even with the fade away, crowd far, trying to keep their heads above water and Majed has 06:13:13.700 --> 06:13:18.320 to save the day with the galactic legend but Abu is on what he knows best in this role 06:13:18.320 --> 06:13:19.320 They try and pin down fire 06:13:19.320 --> 06:13:21.320 strays before they can escape. 06:13:21.320 --> 06:13:24.320 They do survive, though, and it's the retaliation from fire 06:13:24.320 --> 06:13:26.320 strays that I'm really worried about. 06:13:26.320 --> 06:13:28.320 Crowdfire are trying to maybe set up their galactic 06:13:28.320 --> 06:13:30.320 ledge on this high ground here, but fire strays are 06:13:30.320 --> 06:13:32.320 communicating. They know this is coming, 06:13:32.320 --> 06:13:34.320 and I'll lose them a little bit of trouble. 06:13:34.320 --> 06:13:37.320 The Ragey Royal heartbreaker might well be on the 06:13:37.320 --> 06:13:39.320 counter. Ayano Koji gives it over a touch late, 06:13:39.320 --> 06:13:41.320 and it is going to be all about the hunt now 06:13:41.320 --> 06:13:43.320 from the Jared 50% extra damage 06:13:43.320 --> 06:13:45.320 from the Ragey Royal flash, but it seems like 06:13:45.320 --> 06:13:47.320 for now that this engage has been strong. 06:13:47.320 --> 06:13:57.620 Suddenly everything explodes so everything's nothing until it's suddenly something and while Byrony will be able to probably get out with their life and their hulk form here, crown falls, they skid quite a bit. 06:13:57.620 --> 06:14:11.820 And a huge royal flush though from Ayano, I thought Abu was cooked for sure, dropped a below half health when popping the ult and running down fire strays, but they never give up and they never surrender and time is of the essence here for fire strays. 06:14:11.820 --> 06:14:16.820 Alright, skill issue, play phone for somebody and I'll coach you like they're going to be the main pick in the back. 06:14:16.820 --> 06:14:20.820 In fact, some of them are Blacks, so we're just standing in the midst of this team with an eye like a moto. 06:14:20.820 --> 06:14:23.820 Noticing that Cramp will still have control of the point instead. 06:14:23.820 --> 06:14:28.820 We're just going to play a little bit more reserved inside of the invisible boundary, waiting for this eternal bomb to dissipate. 06:14:28.820 --> 06:14:34.820 Three stuns yet again, Blacks, so just keeps on hitting them. It gets a triple vanguard. It's unbelievable. 06:14:34.820 --> 06:14:42.500 Such a strong secondary vanguard for the Spire Strays team and when you don't have an Invis to push away a doctor 06:14:42.500 --> 06:14:48.780 Strange like that. There's nothing to really negate except maybe a good bag need a bubble or shield and brosa speaking of which 06:14:48.820 --> 06:14:52.740 He's to go big here with the meteor and target these straps so much over health 06:14:52.740 --> 06:14:54.740 I was disgusting 06:14:54.740 --> 06:14:56.900 1500 health gets chumped through rather quickly 06:14:56.900 --> 06:15:00.040 But there's gonna be plenty of feeling coming their way from triple strategist now 06:15:00.040 --> 06:15:05.080 it's not turned to get involved. Rosa XR, their own shield is broken in record time, 06:15:05.080 --> 06:15:08.200 extra damage boost here onto the Galactic Legend of Armageddon, 06:15:08.200 --> 06:15:13.880 maybe claiming desperation and legendary. There are no legends to be written here of the crown 06:15:13.880 --> 06:15:21.080 fall defense, only the rubble of a once great empire. Fire Shraze I think definitely got a huge 06:15:21.080 --> 06:15:26.600 advantage with the pick bands like I said having two star lords but only one has to deal with an 06:15:26.600 --> 06:15:31.720 invisible woman just that invisible boundary and how he's able to section off your line of sight 06:15:31.720 --> 06:15:36.280 on the ultimate and make it so you can't really target anyone but Slopo doesn't have that nuisance 06:15:36.280 --> 06:15:41.160 can just go on flanks and there hasn't really been anyone that can stop him but he's also a very 06:15:41.160 --> 06:15:46.600 measured duelist he's not going crazy he knows when fire strays have control of the situation 06:15:46.600 --> 06:15:52.280 while Slopo can go on his little adventure so i'm really liking fire strays on how what angles 06:15:52.280 --> 06:15:56.120 are taking around the fight while Crown Falls wind conditions have really felt 06:15:57.000 --> 06:16:02.680 been around desperation of Abu being the one who leads and surges ahead as the rogue and 06:16:02.680 --> 06:16:07.080 you need to see him and Rose that really work together. The hot on this third vanguard is going 06:16:07.080 --> 06:16:13.000 to help the three more healthfuls on the front lines but it's the focus fire that I need to see 06:16:13.000 --> 06:16:17.720 at a Crown Falls war. You start to see this interesting like crystallization of identity 06:16:17.720 --> 06:16:23.800 for some of our teams where they're Mantis teams like their first protect is Mantis they work very 06:16:23.800 --> 06:16:29.640 well off of a damage boost they try to have like a carry duelist player like a Sestroid or a Sloppo 06:16:29.640 --> 06:16:33.960 and they put all of the resources into them whether it's the the anger enhancements these 06:16:33.960 --> 06:16:38.760 are the Mantis all the imperative patch from the double damage boost from the Ultron as well 06:16:38.760 --> 06:16:43.080 we saw that in our first matchup today as well and it managed to take that match from teams that 06:16:43.080 --> 06:16:45.920 that you would expect to be a touch more powerful. 06:16:45.920 --> 06:16:47.640 This Fireshry is capping the snap, by the way, 06:16:47.640 --> 06:16:49.960 is an extremely challenging task to do. 06:16:49.960 --> 06:16:51.800 So, Crownfall have a lot ahead of them 06:16:51.800 --> 06:16:53.840 to try and catch up in this series, 06:16:53.840 --> 06:16:56.920 and they have to perfect what's happening, 06:16:56.920 --> 06:16:59.360 and their vanguards are getting chewed. 06:16:59.360 --> 06:17:01.360 Blasto is absolutely on it right now, by the way, 06:17:01.360 --> 06:17:04.200 with the Doctor Strange perfectly moderating himself, 06:17:04.200 --> 06:17:07.640 just modulating between doing damage and blocking off fuels, 06:17:07.640 --> 06:17:09.520 rarely using their shields for their own preservation, 06:17:09.520 --> 06:17:11.160 because they know that with triple strategies, 06:17:11.160 --> 06:17:12.840 it needs to take as much damage as possible 06:17:12.840 --> 06:17:15.720 to feed over that ult charge. 06:17:15.720 --> 06:17:18.400 Crown Falls is really getting affected by just still 06:17:18.400 --> 06:17:21.000 figuring out their identity of what are their strengths 06:17:21.000 --> 06:17:22.800 and how they're going to coordinate around it. 06:17:22.800 --> 06:17:24.240 Because obviously the heroes you pick 06:17:24.240 --> 06:17:26.080 change the way you play. 06:17:26.080 --> 06:17:30.040 And no Elsa, no strong carry from the Crown Falls side 06:17:30.040 --> 06:17:33.280 who are still waiting for that star power to really emerge. 06:17:33.280 --> 06:17:35.520 Now I'm looking back at that to be Majed. 06:17:35.520 --> 06:17:37.600 And if he's waiting to build that galactic legend 06:17:37.600 --> 06:17:40.280 for the royal flush, but that's the big win condition 06:17:40.280 --> 06:17:44.280 Ayano needs to set them forward with this ultimate coming up. 06:18:10.280 --> 06:18:14.920 on the high ground. We guess we want the invisible one. We'll find her as well, but here comes the big 06:18:14.920 --> 06:18:20.200 stall coming through from binary on the whole. A quick grab here, the sliver gamma clap would be 06:18:20.200 --> 06:18:24.760 everything. And playing inside of a cloaking bag above the pure is everything. Majed knows their 06:18:24.760 --> 06:18:28.520 win condition, but cannot allow Sopper to make this one work. That CP is going to come through from 06:18:28.520 --> 06:18:34.920 Blacksode, but no, it's a touch late. Cranfall, get the job done. About the CP's at Fire Streets. 06:18:34.920 --> 06:18:39.720 Got it. Maybe you use 30 or so seconds off, but Majed with that kind of desperate galactic 06:18:39.720 --> 06:18:45.840 Legend at the end means they won't be able to carry that momentum through with the ultimate coming up and Rosa though now 06:18:45.840 --> 06:18:47.520 There's not a galactic legend on the other side 06:18:47.520 --> 06:18:53.180 They're looking to kick off at one of these strategists with that meteor M and obu because they're draining those 06:18:53.480 --> 06:18:58.600 Ultimates expected to come out out of fire strays and that's how a crowd far going to take the initiative 06:18:59.160 --> 06:19:03.200 Yes, my so just put the fear of God in them. The second looks like he's making a move for it 06:19:03.200 --> 06:19:09.400 And I think about it everyone is looking his way and that opens up so many avenues the fire straights to find their self angle 06:19:09.400 --> 06:19:13.760 A double bubble coming for it from Binary, and this is the Binary I wanted to see, man. 06:19:13.760 --> 06:19:15.760 Who do you invest the MEA hoax? 06:19:15.760 --> 06:19:17.760 Keep him on the green, boy! 06:19:18.760 --> 06:19:22.320 And even the dives are like just the death ball from Crownfall. 06:19:22.320 --> 06:19:25.600 I'm seeing Znaus to a lot of sleeps on Abu, on Fahad, 06:19:25.600 --> 06:19:31.200 so it's forced this death pool to be a lot more measured and a lot more poke focused at a distance. 06:19:31.200 --> 06:19:37.920 While Fire Shraze, if they don't get harassed, these strats are just gonna keep everybody alive forever in Black. 06:19:37.920 --> 06:19:42.440 So he was good at faking it at the beginning, but now he actually has Ayavagamotto coming up 06:19:43.720 --> 06:19:45.720 Yeah, this time for really real 06:19:45.840 --> 06:19:47.920 That's what he's giving to a bunch of damage here 06:19:47.920 --> 06:19:50.920 But can you stop the full momentum of crown full? 06:19:50.920 --> 06:19:53.040 This game is not to try to catch all this aggression 06:19:53.040 --> 06:19:56.320 You can see the extra vulnerability being given over here by Darby, but it seems like there's no 06:19:56.760 --> 06:20:01.280 actual damage you can bring in all towards the back. Great shield play coming through from Rosa 06:20:01.360 --> 06:20:07.040 Stopped many of the stones that the jet still falls on down because the damage boost is too much to try and deal with 06:20:07.040 --> 06:20:11.680 A turn around here potentially, both from Prime Force for Hard and the Bank has used their skill issues. 06:20:11.680 --> 06:20:15.760 Closer has themselves an invisible boundary. Do they decide to use the phone out of the hearts down with me? 06:20:15.760 --> 06:20:20.640 I think knowing they're low, it might be a little bit too much to ask to send in another strategist ultimate. 06:20:20.640 --> 06:20:23.520 I'll say once again, survive the storm of Gambit! 06:20:24.240 --> 06:20:28.480 Just this back and forth, this Tog of War, this, oh, this exile! 06:20:28.480 --> 06:20:34.160 It feels like an aura exile as well. Definitely minus 900 aura on that one. 06:20:34.160 --> 06:20:36.320 But Fire Shraze, the Tog of Wards, 06:20:36.320 --> 06:20:38.480 will be able to disengage and re-engage 06:20:38.480 --> 06:20:39.600 and not invest too much. 06:20:39.600 --> 06:20:42.560 A big i-Log of Moda, but Rosa has had big moments 06:20:42.560 --> 06:20:44.240 on these bubbles, as you said. 06:20:44.240 --> 06:20:48.040 Crownfall, Majed, we need to see that star power. 06:20:48.040 --> 06:20:50.800 But Fire Shraze are marking him at all times. 06:20:50.800 --> 06:20:52.680 They have fliers that can do that. 06:20:52.680 --> 06:20:55.200 Cessor to Subgen for a reason. 06:20:55.200 --> 06:20:57.240 He has a sharp eye to what Crownfall 06:20:57.240 --> 06:20:58.960 has to have up their sleeve. 06:20:58.960 --> 06:21:00.200 Double damage, Chris. 06:21:00.200 --> 06:21:03.200 Majed simply can't win the Star Lord versus Star Lord 06:21:03.200 --> 06:21:10.940 It's just mathematically too difficult, Binary has to move away, a nice headshot there is actually going to de-mech Binary potentially but no, straight back into the holt form. 06:21:10.940 --> 06:21:19.920 Still green, still mean, still a fighting machine, destroyed, backed off by a mad cannon, fully charged in through from Rosa, around the back it seems to be answered. 06:21:19.920 --> 06:21:31.280 It's a perfect answer from the meter end, sucking up all of that damage, and now more squishies need to be found by a mad shed and instead we're just going to look towards Binary who's not inside of that invisible boundary. 06:21:31.280 --> 06:21:35.180 Those fire were able to stabilize a little bit off the invisible boundary. 06:21:35.180 --> 06:21:37.680 You just have to play your life, respawn and vanish for the defense. 06:21:37.680 --> 06:21:39.080 Here comes the Eye of Agamotto. 06:21:39.080 --> 06:21:39.880 Nobody! 06:21:40.880 --> 06:21:46.080 I think it may have stunned Darby, but should have instantly claimed by some gambit cards on the other side. 06:21:46.080 --> 06:21:49.380 And finally, Crownfall have found a pretty succinct fight. 06:21:49.380 --> 06:21:52.080 You can already hear Blackstar opening the portal for Recon-Testo. 06:21:52.980 --> 06:21:56.480 He'll be up soon, but with now, no ultimates to really invest. 06:21:56.480 --> 06:21:59.880 But at this point, it's about taking down as much time from Crownfall as possible. 06:21:59.880 --> 06:22:04.080 All right, quickly hopping in onto cart, making sure that human's always there. 06:22:04.080 --> 06:22:08.080 Binary's going to be able to rejoin their team on the cart in short order, 06:22:08.080 --> 06:22:10.580 given how quickly Hulk moves around the battlefield. 06:22:10.580 --> 06:22:15.480 360 centimeters, take Crownfall away from third point right here, 06:22:15.480 --> 06:22:16.880 a boohoo up close and personal. 06:22:16.880 --> 06:22:18.680 Black's O is going to be running low on that shield. 06:22:18.680 --> 06:22:20.080 The exhibition comes down behind them. 06:22:20.080 --> 06:22:22.880 The magical uniform to cut off the healing. 06:22:22.880 --> 06:22:27.680 Majed under assault from both Binary and Slothoy moving together as one. 06:22:27.680 --> 06:22:32.000 And Black Zoey's still only halfway towards the dive, and I don't know if the healing's not there for a boo-hoo. 06:22:32.000 --> 06:22:34.880 The dagger store is just about a little bit too far away! 06:22:34.880 --> 06:22:41.520 Another huge E! The dark ocean slacks the bones of Crownfall, and corrupts their flesh to its very core! 06:22:41.520 --> 06:22:47.520 Ayanna Koji's got nowhere to go, wants it to go higher, but gets pulled down again by the invisible woman team of Black Zoey, 06:22:47.520 --> 06:22:52.320 who's really been showing his stuff on the Doctor Strange. What an addition to the hero pool! 06:22:52.320 --> 06:22:58.120 That was on the screen for that final portal. It's a big difference when Crownfall aren't running those triple vanguards. 06:22:58.120 --> 06:23:01.380 They need to invest all of this healing or they're gonna lose the map. 06:23:02.380 --> 06:23:06.120 Must be running low on shield now for Blacksore, but guess what? 06:23:06.320 --> 06:23:09.760 Available again, binary keeping this point, contested, not taking any damage. 06:23:09.760 --> 06:23:15.440 Blacksore with a mix of all of this VR Vagamoto ready to open. Will Crownfall be the one to shut, slow it down? 06:23:15.520 --> 06:23:21.560 No stuns given over, and here come all of the ultimates from Crownfall. The Raging Royal flushed the end song inferno. 06:23:21.560 --> 06:23:26.280 everything in the kitchen sink is thrown at firestrays and that minimal HP 06:23:26.280 --> 06:23:31.640 Byry becomes incredibly angry Hulk is the strongest and Hulk is the crushiest 06:23:31.640 --> 06:23:35.640 the fightiest the meanest the greenest is brutal and he's cunning or is he 06:23:35.640 --> 06:23:39.240 cunningly brutal when it comes to Gork and Morty you can never really know 06:23:39.240 --> 06:23:44.480 Dabby under the rest Chester takes them down running out of time and resources 06:23:44.480 --> 06:23:48.720 despite all of the Ultimates used Crownfall can't get through seconds 06:23:48.720 --> 06:23:53.720 One, two, three, and crown, crown fall have fallen. 06:23:53.720 --> 06:24:00.360 Fire strays, stabilization is key to force crown fall off the triple vanguard to the 06:24:00.360 --> 06:24:01.360 double. 06:24:01.360 --> 06:24:04.360 It was a nice block from the Iowa mode from Abu. 06:24:04.360 --> 06:24:12.200 Just give a chance in this fight, but man, the poke from the other side, you just, just 06:24:12.200 --> 06:24:14.440 had to keep swapping if you're crown fall. 06:24:14.440 --> 06:24:20.520 You needed the second duelist because you feel like you lack damage, but it was the damage boost that I think made all the difference in 06:24:20.560 --> 06:24:24.600 Firestress favor with the Ultron and the Mantis 06:24:24.600 --> 06:24:30.960 And that's where the Vanguard from Crown Hall really really suffered feeling like if they matched damage for damage 06:24:30.960 --> 06:24:36.840 The Vanguard wouldn't be in so much trouble, but unfortunately the worst there was no clear answer for Crown Hall 06:24:36.840 --> 06:24:45.480 I think a big thing to note here too is like the highest 06:24:45.480 --> 06:24:51.000 not really one of Black Souls heroes, that we really considered a major part of his kits 06:24:51.000 --> 06:24:56.440 prior to this season, but what a turnaround to add this Doctor Strange in the neutral with 06:24:56.440 --> 06:25:00.960 the Invis is doing absolute bits. Let's get Vod's opinion on all this as they have been 06:25:00.960 --> 06:25:04.400 sitting back watching Brody their mouth again. 06:25:04.400 --> 06:25:08.440 I think a big thing to note here too is like the highest amount of final hits we saw from 06:25:08.440 --> 06:25:13.240 Madrid was 9, and then we saw that almost from all of the Stratus on the side of Fire 06:25:13.240 --> 06:25:18.160 Strays so they were getting as involved as they could destroyed by getting in for the first time 06:25:18.480 --> 06:25:20.960 During this ignite preseason really showed up big 06:25:20.960 --> 06:25:24.240 But it's the entire team effort round fire strays that rallied together 06:25:24.680 --> 06:25:28.280 Proved that they were the better squad in this matchup and a four-shape or groundfall 06:25:28.280 --> 06:25:31.720 This loss does mean it that their chances to make the playoffs are over 06:25:31.720 --> 06:25:38.080 But they can still play spoiler and even help fire strays potentially because they play against a reason later on as well 06:25:38.080 --> 06:25:41.280 So that's definitely going to be a one to watch out for it later on this weekend 06:25:41.280 --> 06:25:48.000 But I mean all the praises to fire strays that took the week to have their training arc is what we basically saw here 06:25:48.000 --> 06:25:54.800 And now everyone has leveled up lemon absolutely and I was a big fan of binary on the whole because like 06:25:55.320 --> 06:25:57.880 Which poison do you want to pick between the venom or the Hulk? 06:25:57.880 --> 06:26:01.880 But just the eggs on control where and when the fight was going to take place 06:26:01.880 --> 06:26:06.320 So you and crowd call we're trying to play this talk of orders this engage and counteraction 06:26:06.320 --> 06:26:10.800 action and when the Hulk is exiling you, you're going to be forced to fight. You don't want 06:26:10.800 --> 06:26:16.240 to sacrifice your anger, which is often what the exile is going to be targeting for wards. 06:26:16.240 --> 06:26:21.760 And despite having a gambit, it felt like Crownfall's winning condition wasn't very clear. They 06:26:21.760 --> 06:26:26.640 haven't shown too much of an ending night because it was banned, but I'm hoping Crownfall 06:26:26.640 --> 06:26:30.920 will be able to explore more of their hero pools in the duelist department to try and 06:26:30.920 --> 06:26:33.320 have better strengths in the damage department. 06:26:33.320 --> 06:26:39.520 to work on for Crownfall for their last series of the group stage, but also going into stage 06:26:39.520 --> 06:26:40.520 one as well. 06:26:40.520 --> 06:26:41.520 This is just the pre-season. 06:26:41.520 --> 06:26:45.400 All these teams you'll see in some capacity, again, there's only a little bit of a roster 06:26:45.400 --> 06:26:49.240 shuffle that can happen in between pre-season and stage one, but for the most part, you 06:26:49.240 --> 06:26:52.200 can only trade out three of your main roster players. 06:26:52.200 --> 06:26:55.200 When I talk to some of the teams, they're like, okay, we're not going to make too many 06:26:55.200 --> 06:26:59.520 changes unless we approach from some of the other teams just based on how much talent 06:26:59.520 --> 06:27:03.280 there is in MRC, comparative to what we see in other regions for that. 06:27:03.280 --> 06:27:08.000 maybe some inner team changes, but apart from that, typically we'll see the same rosters. 06:27:08.000 --> 06:27:12.000 And I hope this team of Crownfall Six together works through it, kind of expands their hero pool a 06:27:12.000 --> 06:27:15.280 little bit because I feel like that's what the biggest weakness for this team is. 06:27:16.080 --> 06:27:21.600 Yeah, Crownfall. I mean, I was glad to see Abu on the road because that was a huge part of their 06:27:21.600 --> 06:27:26.160 success on MRC because they kind of got a taste of their own medicine. But like Crownfall, we're 06:27:26.160 --> 06:27:31.360 always chasing everyone, pinning them down with the road and kind of forcing people into awkward 06:27:31.360 --> 06:27:36.080 positions, but now this was done to them, but it was courtesy of a Hulk, so crown paul just 06:27:36.080 --> 06:27:40.880 weren't able to match band for band, if you will, with the doulas, but it also means that 06:27:40.880 --> 06:27:46.720 M'jad had to face an invisible woman, which is a whole different ball game versus a sloppah who 06:27:46.720 --> 06:27:51.600 didn't have that problem. I really like this composition that we saw from Fire Strays, especially 06:27:51.600 --> 06:27:56.960 swapping in, destroyed for this final map, giving them some time under their belt, of course, but 06:27:56.960 --> 06:28:01.440 but also the cop worked out so much better having this triple strategist line up like that. 06:28:01.440 --> 06:28:09.440 Yeah, I think it's destroyed having both the Ultron and the Atom in their pool of often used strategists is very important, 06:28:09.440 --> 06:28:17.040 especially when we saw the really weird, but very well resorted first fight through the portal with the Soulbond from the Atom 06:28:17.040 --> 06:28:23.240 to make sure that you could play such a vulnerable duelist like an Ironman and potentially get the Droplock or so much. 06:28:23.240 --> 06:28:27.240 It was a bit of a weird rotation, but it worked out in the end. 06:28:27.240 --> 06:28:29.740 We'll of course be able to talk to the team about it. 06:28:29.740 --> 06:28:34.240 Exactly, we do have our final interview of the day from the winners in Fire Strays. 06:28:34.240 --> 06:28:38.740 As it's black, they are here to give us a breakdown of their great plays 06:28:38.740 --> 06:28:41.540 that they were able to showcase throughout that series. 06:28:41.540 --> 06:28:44.740 Welcome to the broadcast. Congratulations on your win. 06:28:44.740 --> 06:28:48.740 And tell us the gospel of Doctor Strange, because you seemed unstoppable. 06:28:48.740 --> 06:28:57.740 Yeah, I mean, it's like a hero that we played a lot the past week, because like after the 06:28:57.740 --> 06:29:03.420 result we did last weekend, suddenly we were like we lost against Radisport and then we 06:29:03.420 --> 06:29:06.620 lost against Rison Gaming. 06:29:06.620 --> 06:29:14.060 So this week we really practiced a lot and we focused on strange and good mainly and 06:29:14.060 --> 06:29:22.060 And that's why I was completely ready to give everything on Strange too much hours on the hero right now. 06:29:24.060 --> 06:29:28.060 Was that the main change you guys made between last week and this one? 06:29:28.060 --> 06:29:33.060 Because it seems like whatever practice you were getting in the last week has had a turn your team around majorly. 06:29:34.060 --> 06:29:40.060 Yeah, I mean, we did two. One of the major changes is that we also... 06:29:40.060 --> 06:29:44.380 Like the last map, it was Sestroid in and not Demon, 06:29:44.380 --> 06:29:48.660 because Demon is like our main DPS, 06:29:48.660 --> 06:29:53.660 but we swapped with Sestroid on Convergence and ConvoyMaps 06:29:53.980 --> 06:29:57.780 because we think it's a better pick for us. 06:29:57.780 --> 06:30:01.080 So that's one of the main changes that we did this week. 06:30:02.700 --> 06:30:05.560 And talk to me about how you coordinate around your team, 06:30:05.560 --> 06:30:06.980 because as a group player, 06:30:06.980 --> 06:30:09.220 I loved watching you play on Krakowa, 06:30:09.220 --> 06:30:13.700 And you're giving you a lot of kudos on how you were able to use your walls to block everyone off 06:30:13.700 --> 06:30:15.300 and which lets Lapo go crazy. 06:30:15.300 --> 06:30:19.300 So how are you able to communicate with your team when you set up Lapo like that? 06:30:20.580 --> 06:30:25.540 Yeah, I mean, so basically the come is like, especially when I'm on the road, 06:30:25.540 --> 06:30:29.420 I'm the one talking about my cooldowns, like especially the big wall, you know, 06:30:29.420 --> 06:30:32.500 because it's a big cooldown, a long cooldown. 06:30:32.500 --> 06:30:37.100 So every time I am coming to, like I have a good wall, 06:30:37.100 --> 06:30:42.620 I'm always telling my team that I will place a big wall, so then we can play on that big wall 06:30:43.260 --> 06:30:47.900 Because I can like block the enemies and then we can play on that big opportunity 06:30:48.340 --> 06:30:49.380 so 06:30:49.380 --> 06:30:55.700 That's why we are mainly like coordinated with slo-bo like you always understand me and what I want to do 06:30:56.100 --> 06:31:01.060 So like even on stage I always have good follow-up on every ult that I do 06:31:01.060 --> 06:31:08.060 and every hit that I hit, it's always a nice follow up from the team because everyone listens to the comms. 06:31:11.060 --> 06:31:14.060 Do you like the comms? They're pretty unlock for you guys as well. 06:31:14.060 --> 06:31:19.060 But going into your final series that you have on Saturday and Sunday, 06:31:19.060 --> 06:31:23.060 you're playing against Virtus.Pro, the former and current world champions, 06:31:23.060 --> 06:31:25.060 and then you're playing against Vision. 06:31:25.060 --> 06:31:30.060 What is the kind of game plan that you guys have to prepare yourself for two very different matchups? 06:31:31.060 --> 06:31:38.360 Well, to be honest, against VP, we will try to, like, put a forefront comp, you know, 06:31:38.360 --> 06:31:44.880 like try to surprise them with an exotic composition, you know, like some things that you don't 06:31:44.880 --> 06:31:47.160 usually see. 06:31:47.160 --> 06:31:53.000 And then against, wait, what was it? 06:31:53.000 --> 06:31:54.000 A vision. 06:31:54.000 --> 06:31:57.120 A vision, yeah, thank you. 06:31:57.120 --> 06:32:06.000 I can't say what we will have against them but it will be like we need to win so we will put our best 06:32:06.000 --> 06:32:09.440 comp in and what we are the most strong at you know. 06:32:13.280 --> 06:32:18.400 Well thank you Blacks for joining us for the broadcast here really appreciate you giving 06:32:18.400 --> 06:32:22.800 us your insight and congratulations again on your first win we hope to see more from you. 06:32:22.800 --> 06:32:33.080 I was awesome to hear from the player on fire strays and they got their first win. 06:32:33.080 --> 06:32:34.180 We got to hear some insight. 06:32:34.180 --> 06:32:37.200 We saw exactly why they were able to kind of turn things around. 06:32:37.200 --> 06:32:41.280 I love the focus on the Groots and the Doctor Strange they were talking about from the start 06:32:41.280 --> 06:32:46.240 of it and then also just taking each series a little bit of a different approach and that's 06:32:46.240 --> 06:32:50.600 kind of what we got to have some team do 11 against this first roster coming up. 06:32:50.600 --> 06:32:55.120 You gotta do something out of the box on Orthodox Exotic Composition as he was saying, do try 06:32:55.120 --> 06:32:56.920 and take them from their throne. 06:32:56.920 --> 06:33:02.520 Yeah, and to take out one of your, I guess he said, main, uh, duelist and demon to have 06:33:02.520 --> 06:33:05.960 Cess Strait come in and have 100% win rate and ignite. 06:33:05.960 --> 06:33:10.920 I don't know, it's not for itself, but that was their first win and hopefully for them 06:33:10.920 --> 06:33:15.120 the first of many because it's still gonna be an uphill battle because Firestray still 06:33:15.120 --> 06:33:16.120 have Virtus. 06:33:16.120 --> 06:33:18.720 and that is their next match, actually. 06:33:20.720 --> 06:33:21.920 It's a lot on the line. 06:33:21.920 --> 06:33:24.120 You got to play against the best team in the world, 06:33:24.120 --> 06:33:25.520 and then you got to play your match 06:33:25.520 --> 06:33:28.720 to pretty much secure your spot in the playoffs 06:33:28.720 --> 06:33:29.920 for the pre-season. 06:33:29.920 --> 06:33:31.920 So a lot of line for all these teams. 06:33:31.920 --> 06:33:34.520 You know that Fire Strays are going to give it their all. 06:33:34.520 --> 06:33:36.720 Reason Gaming now looking back and saying, 06:33:36.720 --> 06:33:39.320 man, I wish we did a little better in our series 06:33:39.320 --> 06:33:41.520 and got the win versus Rad, so we didn't have to worry 06:33:41.520 --> 06:33:43.120 about the results of that one. 06:33:43.120 --> 06:33:44.520 Maybe feeling a little bit more confident though, 06:33:44.520 --> 06:33:53.120 going against Crownfall later on, but there is some great results that we had from the matches today that we can go through. 06:33:53.120 --> 06:33:59.920 We got to see some beautiful performances from all the teams across the board, some teams making their way all the way into the playoffs, 06:33:59.920 --> 06:34:04.120 cementing their spot, getting those three wins necessary for it. 06:34:04.120 --> 06:34:09.120 Unfortunately, a couple of teams falling by the wayside going 0-4. 06:34:09.120 --> 06:34:13.040 You're talking specifically about it towards the future of these groups. 06:34:13.040 --> 06:34:17.760 Rad, I think they really just showcased how they can lock in regardless against the 06:34:17.760 --> 06:34:21.200 adversity that they face even with the connection issues that they mentioned in that first map 06:34:21.200 --> 06:34:27.520 like that. Yeah, Rad definitely have done it. They've experienced the map loss, you know, like 06:34:27.520 --> 06:34:31.440 it's kind of important to experience that map loss before you get into a playoff bracket when 06:34:31.440 --> 06:34:37.280 you've got that safety margin of your qualifications. Like, okay, now we know what we need to scrum 06:34:37.280 --> 06:34:41.060 against if we go against teams that play a lot of mantis like we booked them for 06:34:41.060 --> 06:34:44.500 scrims over the following week we try and figure out how we're gonna play against 06:34:44.500 --> 06:34:46.780 that damage boost we're gonna try and mirror it or we're gonna try and out 06:34:46.780 --> 06:34:51.680 maneuver it's not like a double boost. I think just looking at the matches today I 06:34:51.680 --> 06:34:55.020 was super proud of reason to be able to do that first map against Brad like like 06:34:55.020 --> 06:34:59.620 they said breaking that perfect record we saw VP have not missed a beat from week 06:34:59.620 --> 06:35:05.180 to week they beat down a vision and you could skip that one but the 06:35:05.180 --> 06:35:08.860 The Heretic's Navi is an unskippable match for anyone who's just tuning in. 06:35:08.860 --> 06:35:11.820 That was the match of the day and we did not lie. 06:35:11.820 --> 06:35:15.500 I mean, a lot of people expecting that one to go the other direction or even be closer 06:35:15.500 --> 06:35:16.500 than it was. 06:35:16.500 --> 06:35:19.500 I mean, we even saw the Miss Band, of course, from Team Heretic's, and they're like, 06:35:19.500 --> 06:35:20.740 ah, we got this either way. 06:35:20.740 --> 06:35:24.300 They locked in and they put up the numbers necessary to prove that they were the better 06:35:24.300 --> 06:35:28.420 team, at least on the day and with the compositions that they were able to showcase. 06:35:28.420 --> 06:35:31.460 And also, shout out to the Captain America fans out there. 06:35:31.460 --> 06:35:32.460 He's still good. 06:35:32.460 --> 06:35:36.620 have to be able to kind of emulate your game. I mean it's gonna be hard because he's a really good 06:35:36.620 --> 06:35:42.380 Captain America but still it's not all doom and gloom is all I gotta say on that one. But talking 06:35:42.380 --> 06:35:48.460 a little bit about the other matches as well I mean looking ahead for the future of the series 06:35:48.460 --> 06:35:53.820 that there are as well I mean I guess actually going back to the recap here. Peps I think is a 06:35:53.820 --> 06:35:59.340 team that I still don't have like a full read on here like they they look really solid but that's 06:35:59.340 --> 06:36:03.020 against Pulsar and they struggled against some teams, but they also looked decent against the 06:36:03.020 --> 06:36:08.780 Navi roster who we just saw lose Team Heretic. So if they potentially bring it to Team Shikigami 06:36:08.780 --> 06:36:13.260 tomorrow, they're going to look that much better to potentially steal that group spot from Alter 06:36:13.260 --> 06:36:20.140 Esports. Yeah, I'd be, I'd be very impressed. I would love to see Pepsniker map off of Shikigami. 06:36:20.140 --> 06:36:25.660 I don't think they'll win, but I think this is a team that's had a little bit less time together 06:36:25.660 --> 06:36:27.620 and is definitely growing into her own skin. 06:36:27.620 --> 06:36:29.120 We've seen a lot of these teams, 06:36:29.120 --> 06:36:32.260 but of course, getting one more week of scrims and pre-season, 06:36:32.260 --> 06:36:34.900 turn their feet around majorly. 06:36:34.900 --> 06:36:38.260 Like we've seen heresics do this, we've seen fire do this, 06:36:38.260 --> 06:36:41.800 like fire strength in particular, going from zero to a... 06:36:41.800 --> 06:36:42.640 Yeah. 06:36:42.640 --> 06:36:44.040 Very, very good. 06:36:44.040 --> 06:36:46.380 So I'm thinking about team perhaps might be one of these teams 06:36:46.380 --> 06:36:48.240 that really scales with time, 06:36:48.240 --> 06:36:50.680 and I'd love to see them at least put up a big fight 06:36:50.680 --> 06:36:53.520 against Shigami, who I think are a really strong team. 06:36:53.520 --> 06:37:01.720 And you're going to love to see these teams and playoffs because we've officially locked in heretics, Navi, Virtus.Pro, and Rad for playoffs. 06:37:01.720 --> 06:37:05.820 And only two more teams from each group will be joining them as the standings have shown. 06:37:05.820 --> 06:37:10.320 But audible, this is only day one, I guess, of this weekend. 06:37:11.320 --> 06:37:13.020 Yeah, we have more matches tomorrow. 06:37:13.020 --> 06:37:19.620 I'll be in the casting booth with leg day and then Lemon gets to rest her voice a little bit and chill in at the hoax seat as well. 06:37:19.620 --> 06:37:25.860 So we're gonna have eps versus cheeky gami which honestly after the peps win against pulsar matters a lot more than it did initially 06:37:25.860 --> 06:37:29.460 vision versus rad also very important air ticks versus alter e-sports 06:37:29.460 --> 06:37:33.220 That's a kind of you need at least a map for alter e-sports to say in the competition 06:37:33.460 --> 06:37:36.500 Navi versus pulsar unfortunately, maybe not mattering as much 06:37:36.500 --> 06:37:42.180 But if Navi do go down in that they could fall even further in the standings and cheeky gami look good 06:37:42.180 --> 06:37:47.940 So cheeky gami are rooting for team pulsar into that series, but it's been a great day of competition 06:37:47.940 --> 06:37:54.900 We do have to end off though with a little bit of some costumes that we have to talk to you a little bit about here as well 06:37:54.900 --> 06:38:00.140 so one thing to note here specifically for this on the side of the 06:38:00.660 --> 06:38:07.460 Mr. Fantastic and a visible woman you can get these costumes available in the store right now at ESCU brilliance takes center stage 06:38:07.460 --> 06:38:14.460 Rian Mondo dominates every debate and Dr. Danum Kett also turns every lecture into a masterclass together 06:38:14.460 --> 06:38:19.100 they prove that knowledge isn't just power it's control. Step into the spotlight with visible 06:38:19.100 --> 06:38:23.820 women's Rianne Lundow, the debater and Mr. Fantastic's Danum Kent, the professor of costumes, 06:38:23.820 --> 06:38:27.660 where intellect becomes the ultimate weapon. Came available yesterday so you can get in the 06:38:27.660 --> 06:38:34.940 store now until April 30th at 7pm PT. You take this one like that. Yeah you don't just dominate 06:38:34.940 --> 06:38:39.660 debates you can dominate the brand new map as well. Lower Manhattan is open for business so head 06:38:39.660 --> 06:38:45.740 of a big apple because I say you never sleep but something beneath it has woken up courtesy of Wilson 06:38:45.740 --> 06:38:51.500 Fisk's machinations.
