Hello everybody and welcome to the NACE Grand Finals.
We have some great collegiate overwatch.
Eight teams come from around North America to compete for the very top.
Who will come away on the new throne of collegiate overwatch?
We're going to find out over these next two days.
My name is Tiny Shiny.
I'm joined by Twin Salty.
We have a ton of action to cover this weekend.
8 of the best teams are here in Orlando just across the way from us right now here a full sale
We have an excellent day of overwatch for you eight teams
We're going down to two here in the varsity tournament. It's gonna be a lot of eliminations
But first up we got our first game as a group so everybody got to start somewhere
Absolutely, and we have again teams competing for the entirety of the year after their spring semester
Performance and they'd had their whole regular season to get here and now here. We are a single elan from 32 teams
for just the eight that remain and I will take a quick look at that bracket. I just see what we have
ahead of us because our adversity format is a little bit different than what we like to see. So
a lot of is in front of you. Let's break it down. We have out of our eight teams. They are seated
into two separate groups. Each group will be playing in a double elimination small bracket
of those top two teams that come out. They will be seated into a single element semi-finals
to then go to our grand finals which will be played tomorrow morning. But yeah a lot of
games to get through if you're going to get all the way to their semis at minimum three
best of fives for these teams. Yeah the whole lot of games to be played and maybe even four
if you go through that lower bracket early on having to play that extra game. First
match of the day is going to be St. Clair against Temu so you can see the group B top
side matchup. Then we'll go over to the elimination game first round for group A
and then back down to Group B for that final elimination game before.
We have both semi-final today. We have five games on stream today, so make sure on Twitch,
you got everything connected for the drops. You got Esports loot boxes going on today,
two of them. I think it's eight hours that you need to watch for both.
We will be on for today and tomorrow. As long as you're here, you will have enough.
You can see a live pic here of the venue just across the way.
Everybody getting ready to go here at full sale
at the NAVS Grand Finals.
But yeah, it's gonna be an excellent day of overwatch.
Yeah, it's a fantastic venue to be able to compete in.
I mean, this is just one of two Grand Finals
will be held a little bit further down the way.
So when we get ready to head off here
and we'll see all of our teams get setting up,
you have a bit of an eyeball on them.
Now is actually St. Clair closest to us
as they are getting set up for their specific match
against Texas A&M San Antonio.
So again, out of these eight teams,
all of which are considered varsity programs
in order to compete.
Everyone has competed in person throughout the course
of the year in order to get there.
Those are kind of our qualifications
for this specific thing.
And yeah, when we look at our two teams today,
we're looking at a two and a seven seed,
which you would say is a little bit deceiving,
but only for the reason that Texas A&M San Antonio
barely squeaks their way into this one.
and they have any type of a match up to start this one off take a look at st
claire's roster
it is a st claire
if you've been watching her for a while there's obviously a few names are going
to recognize here razor and tread
both from disguised here
on this roster st claire's is the final run
for these guys they have a lot of students graduating after the
semester razor red x soaks and noxious
are all graduating and tread is going to be leaving the school after the
semester more than likely
So it's going to be kind of this final run for St. Clair.
They have yet to get a major title here at NACE.
They've always been in second, top four,
due to teams like Maryville and ISU, Winthrop.
Is this the year that they can finally get over it
and win that title?
And their only real competition is arguably Winthrop,
who is waiting on the other side of the bracket.
And I think with such high expectations
behind this roster, knowing it is also their last run,
a lot of pressure for them to perform.
But on the other side of the battlefield here, Texas A&M, San Antonio, and this team, you
could almost call it a small miracle that they made it to this top eight.
They lost every single game of the regular season.
But because they were in that super conference, like every other team that is here, they
automatically qualified for that playoffs and ran their way through the single Eland
bracket, getting a huge upset over the number 10 team in the country, Cleveland
States had to find themselves here at Full Sail University for the finals.
Coconut, the star player for this team, his last time this team very much said,
you know, we wanted to make this tournament because of Coconut, give him
this last memory before he moves on and all in all, they've stepped it up
throughout the semester.
It's been a very tough run the first time the school has seen this level
of competition, but St.
Clair, no easy task.
No, no easy task whatsoever. The first time these teams played each other, it was a sweep for St. Clair in the regular season.
So, not a giant shock here. Obviously, expectation is, or at least prediction, St. Clair is definitely the favorite going in.
We've had some changes. Sierra is available this weekend to be played, but in all of our conversations with teams, do not expect to see much of her.
She is not really bursted into the meta as some people thought initially. She's kind of faded to the way side
It's actually jetpack cat bastard if you're watching otwcs Korea, you know what we're talking about
We've been seeing a lot of the jetpack cat in bastion comps as of late
I didn't see what China had this morning, but it's quite an awkward comp to watch if you don't know what's going on initially
And play. We had the opportunity to talk to a couple of teams yesterday and they were like, you know, we're considering doing this, but none of them have practice on it.
So if it does come out, it might be some of these easier games for these teams, but we will have to wait and see and whether they were there.
But first, we've got to talk about how these NACE Finals were able to happen in the first place and part of the reason GG Circuit.
They're proud to support NACE at this year's Grand Finals, showcasing some of the best
collegiate eSports programs in the country. My never great team is the right infrastructure.
That is where they come in. From player management to secure labs to tournament
operations and remote support, GG Circuit powers the infrastructure by every match,
every scrim, and every championship moment. They simplify the technology so schools
can focus on what matters most. Let coaches coach, let players compete.
They'll take care of the rest. If you are building or scaling your eSports program,
Make sure to connect to them. GG Circuit is ready when you are.
And this is such a large-scale event.
There's so many people and organizations behind it.
Proud to have GG Circuit as a partner.
Yeah, and you can tell there's also other games going on here at NAISC Grand Finals.
I believe Call of Duty and Super Smash Bros. also going on.
Oh yeah, there's a lot going on.
We have three titles here at NAISC to finish up yesterday,
but of course, we want the Overwatch.
Right, we want to get the Overwatch here.
We can have to see it on our screen right now.
St. Clair is in Lobby, so I think we're just figuring out bands and then we'll be
on our way here in a map one of this best of five and like I said earlier best
of five throughout the entirety of today but tomorrow we got the open grand
final which went through up in Northwood that's a best of seven and then
the grand final for varsity which we're seeing all the group stage for
today that is also a best of seven so it's going to be quite an interesting
couple of days here obviously a little bit of a change of venue for
tomorrow as well for the teams and us but yeah we're starting to get ready here it
sounds like. I know we're getting butts in seats going into this lobby for
very first matchup of the tournament and mind you this is a pretty early start
for a lot of these players 9 a.m. local time if you're coming from a different
time zone which Texas A&M San Antonio definitely are it's basically 8 a.m.
then if you're a gamer you know not exactly five game around. Hopefully they
We got some good rest in and are ready to go because, again, long day, if you're making
all that run through the semifinals, minimum of three best of fives if we did our calculations
on that.
So, gotta be ready to prepare, stay hydrated, and give us some best overwatch.
Yeah, it's gonna be incredible.
If you come from lower bracket, let's say you lose this first game and then you make
it through.
You got four best of fives today to run through, so yeah, just get ready, everybody.
We got quite a long day of overwatch ahead.
I think with these teams, Timusa, if they're going to win this, they need to kind of pull
something random out because if you try and match St. Clair and what they want to run,
you're just not, you're not going to win this game.
So I think for Timusa, whether it be the, you know, the cat bastion comps or something
else, you've seen kind of a resurgence of hazard over the last few weeks, which has
been kind of cool to see something that I tread obviously isn't afraid to play.
Jurisity of Timusa wants to kind of match that at some point in their own style,
I'm really excited to see because obviously the one thing with Tumusa, they don't have a Lucio player.
Yeah, they do play.
And that's just a little bit of an issue depending on where you're at, but you know,
if they're going to play the cat comps, then it doesn't matter.
And they do love JPEG Cat. Yves loves it. If he gets any opportunity, it's kind of a nice strat for
Tumusa. They'll pull it out and ruin a Soppy. They get the opportunity to go there, but
well, get that map pool and we'll see why that may or may not be a thing for this event.
I was kind of kind of saying before this like this is a
Borked-up map like I am really excited about this one. The root of soppy is there for Texas A&M San Antonio
Should they want to pull that strategy specifically?
But Li Zhong tower collegiate classic in there and a lot of options for a poke
In like mid-town Havana being in the pool. Yeah, no Kings Row
Uh, so to some of the collegiate purists out there. Yes
King Joe is not here, Scrim Joe is not here, apologies.
But honestly it's a great set of maps because hybrid you can get a lot of poke,
Numbani being back in, we can see our Surgeon of the Dive that's been kind of popping back up.
I'm a little sad New Queen Street's not there, I know I'm kind of in the minority of New Queen Street,
but Esprots are runesoppy, they get picked most of the time anyway,
so it's not like New Queens would have even been picked.
Uh, and Esquire, yeah, like you said, Havana being back in, Gil, the new style of that, which makes second phase a little bit easier to push through on attack, that's also in this map pool, so a lot of options here, but I think the big winner is the dive teams with this map pool.
Absolutely.
Because regardless of what map type you're going, you can go a dive-esque map, I guess Flashpoint would be the only one that's kind of iffy, but you can still go Atlas and that's more of the dive rather than Surabasa.
Doesn't look like we have our first map pink in here will be from st. Clair
If they have queued up it will be of course the long tower surprise surprise
So again, I'm being a card there you go check that one off for the day in an immediate fashion bet
so our
Bit of an insight on that cat fashion comp perhaps a bit more real than we expected st. Clair
We'll take that one away first and their response is the diva and I was curious if this would come out because diva
by far the best tank in this current meta.
Shred loves it.
Texas A&M San Antonio have been picking it up themselves recently.
So with that being gone, perhaps more into this Zarya that still remains pretty strong.
Yeah, even if it isn't always with the Vendetta to pair up with it,
Zarya is still incredibly strong in this meta.
But what we'll get to see here now is we load in Duly Zhang Tower,
Overwalde's Collegiate Championships, Varsity here in Orlando have kicked off here on-street.
We got a long day of Overwatch ahead, but it's a little sad we don't get to see the Bastion right away,
but I think it's a very smart ban from St. Clair. You kind of take away some of the chaos.
Obviously the cat can still get a ton of value here on Lejean Tower, but not having the Bastion kind of escorted around
is going to be a big help for St. Clair.
They probably just want to run Emerald Tracer anyway most of the time.
And it's kind of what I'm expecting, I mean Razor has been popping off on the Tracer as
of late and I'm so excited to see him match up against Coconut because it's kind of been
the X Factor, Cortex, and Xenotonia.
Coconut, they can give him the space and he can find a way in.
Well, it's kind of GG's going next, whoever that opponent is.
So seeing those two players kind of match that one up, I will be interested because
it has been a big change.
St. Clair, a bit of a previous history between these teams.
3-0, Texas A&M, San Antonio about midway through the seasons.
So it's about a couple weeks since they have played,
the meta changed slightly, but that results still adulting
what to think about.
Yeah, definitely one that's going to be kind of tattooed
in the back of the brain of, it was like,
what can we do different this time around
to avoid this same result?
Great, so if you're looking at this group,
I'd say it's the more winnable group of the two.
Group A, Winthrop, Cumberland, Bellevue,
and Briarcliffs. Like, Winter's gonna make it out of that group. It is a cloth between
those three teams, and we'll get to that later. But here, I think this is winnable for Temusa.
You know, this series in particular, but even against Yuchi D'Aless's team, they have people
for at other events. And NC State, which has kind of been shaky these last few weeks
leading up to this land. I want to see this could be a nice, at least, tone setter
for Temusa and how they want to go out for the rest of the day.
They're also self-complained and didn't fight Lanimals.
They are Lanimals.
They are Lanimals and they have the results to back it up.
I mean this team on Lanimals is just at another level, which is kind of strange.
You kind of think with a lot of teams that it takes them a bit to get used to that
environment, but no, not the Jaguars.
They are here to play and it should be a little bit more than it's going to.
So I am looking forward to seeing that in person.
And the same time, St. Clair has also been, well, exactly,
we've got Dr. Trent here before us.
He said, whips him into shape before this event.
He's putting the discipline into this roster,
which there has been a noticeable difference
in how this team is played.
I think they have some of the best macro
out of all the teams that we are going to see,
even rivaling that, if not better than Winthroth at times.
And it is what allows them to compete at the top level.
Tread has been a huge part of that for this roster.
You know, Tread is a big piece here, obviously.
And having that connection with Zay being an assistant coach
on Disguise as well, even though, yeah, Disguise didn't
have the greatest regular in stage one in order to see as NA
as they got during that promotion relegation series
later on.
But it is, you know, as we, I think we actually
went back to lobby.
It looks like two players, yeah, two players
from whoever is on the red side.
I think it was Tim Musa maybe having some tech issues here on land we're getting all these issues out of the way early
And hey you guys get drop time so I better not hear any complaints at the comments
And make sure your battle med accounts are attached to switch that you do
You can drop in two e-sports loot boxes the collegiate spray. I love that one or not the spray the
The banner did you have pulled up? Oh, I love that
I have like half collegiate half colonial heroes on my profile. Is it just it just makes sense
It really does now. Do they match with the colors? Not necessarily, but it's so cool. So I'm doing it anyways take that
But yeah, it's cool. So make sure that you uh, they grab that. I love the kind of pink and blue also
Can we talk about the color scheme of like I love
I love the teal in the orange. They change it every year. I think this is my favorite one out of the three years
I've done this the last year was like well black and purple which which purple best color
but
Heal an orange this feels over Lando vibes like we're going out to the beach
We're having a great time. I wouldn't be surprised with some of these things like you know what?
Let's go. Let's go up tonight, you know, like Disney is you know just around here
It is take a little trip over to Disney
We have hopefully not too long here to get this all figured out here on the setups
But again, it's land. There's like safety computers or so here the things are bound if you've been at these events before
But like one thing happening and then like a video of like a game happening. Yeah, that's kind of what that reminded me of right here
So as we're talking is like no, so what's going on over here?
But it'll be fun especially on Li Zhang I think yeah, we'll probably go out of the Zarya the hazard
It's like what do we think event editor right now? I'm see a hot-pick just came through her health got bumped a little bit
But I feel like the damage has been done
It's rough. I know unless you have a very solid
is Vendetta, Zarya, Komp, and that is your,
Ben, your wincon, like Bellevue, I think is one of the teams
we could see pull it out.
But otherwise, I really don't know.
Texas A&M have basically said
that Vendetta does not exist in their eyes.
They tried it the first three weeks,
got absolutely pummeled, like we're done with that.
Is it Claire?
We haven't seen it from them either
from the notes that I have recently.
So I'm not really expecting it in this series.
Another hero that you're gonna hate
that I'm bringing this out.
The Mauga, Jesse, is a very real threat right now,
especially if we do get some of that Jetpack cat bastion
later on in the series.
That's one of the heroes that has been paired with it
and has a chance of coming up here.
Yeah, when we were talking about this a few weeks ago,
I'm like, yeah, you know,
Mauga's kind of turning back up a little bit.
I mean, the Maug in time is his return.
If you've been watching us for long enough,
you know my stance on Mauga,
also in that cop it is very fun
but you just see it's like an apache helicopter just flying through the air
when bastion's in turret form
and it's either you try and kill the cat or bastion in the air when the mog is a
great asset of actually doing that
i think iris is also not a ram or kind of okay at it but i'd say mog is probably
the better one of the three
and then or you just take the three v three
uh... with the tank or even one dps one support in the front line
Uh, so that'll be kind of an interaction we'll keep an eye out for.
So we just listed half the tag raster?
Yes.
Ha ha ha!
How about Reinhardt? Thoughts on Reinhardt?
Dead.
He is six feet under right now.
Dead in the gut.
As much as I hate saying that, like I would, I would do anything for a Reinhardt right now.
I have poor Reinhardt layers out there.
I mean, you're, you're honest. You want to play the most honest type of gameplay, but...
It's, it's a rough one. It's a rough one.
You get your big ol' rectangle man, you get the shield while you still have it and uh...
Yeah, that's about all you can do sometimes.
If I can make a request for next year,
for next year, that'd be it.
Right, Meadow?
There you go.
Syracuse would be a team.
They're not here this weekend, but they would be all years
for that, considering they've got Glacier for next year.
Yeah, and we're kind of hitting that point too,
where it's been a fantastic scene in collegiate
that this time of year.
We're starting to see a lot more of a high school
to collegiate pipeline built.
The high school esports team has developed.
There's a ton of state leagues that are going on,
developing into national tournaments
with some other partners,
and it's building this pathway for these players
to continue to compete at a collegiate level,
some with scholarships,
which most of the teams here
do have those opportunities if I'm not mistaken.
Yeah, I think this is the first event for
anti-state diversity program,
but they're not scholarships,
but they took a massive step.
Again, there's at least a varsity program now,
they can be at this event.
So it's a massive step for NC State.
And they're kind of one of those few large public schools
that are actually becoming varsity programs.
It's a lot of time, you know, smaller private schools,
you know, kind of like a St. Clair, like a Cumberland,
who want to dive into this space,
but seeing a lot more of these, you know,
giant universities that are publicly, you know, funded.
It's a great thing for the industry.
Now we get to see more and more of that as time goes on.
It looks like we're still waiting,
whereas we're kind of just, like,
matched on screen peaking over here.
Uh, still got two members of somebody.
I think Temusa is still waiting to get into the lobby here.
So hopefully, you're not gonna, you know,
be stuck with us just kind of yapping here
for two months longer.
By the way, if you're in the Orlando area,
free to attend.
If you wanna go watch your favorite players today
and tomorrow, everything is free to enter.
So, yeah, just come hang out for a bit.
It's a great, it's a fantastic venue.
You and I were walking around earlier.
we've been here before for some other events and it's fantastic.
It looks like Cumberland is full vibing right now over there.
You know, that's kind of to be expected of Cumberland now.
I mean, out of the teams at this event, I have a couple noted that specifically
are very vibe based teams and very loud teams.
So I know we kind of talked about in the past regime and hush.
Oh my goodness.
Those two players when they were still on Blinn's roster were the
By far the loudest players in the entire venue out of any game title is being played now
They're here as representatives of Bellevue University, and I'm expecting that exact same thing for they like you borderline walk past
You're kind of giving a sign. I like what's going on
Yeah, they have got to be one of the funniest duos. I've ever seen
Like it is hutch is incredibly just funny if you ever talk it talked with hutch
He's absolutely hilarious whether it be you know him on amplify right now and face it masters or regime as well
Calling a hero space that he they've been in everything
They're a fantastic group. Yeah, that's another point too. Yes, we have players and collegiate teams
But they're playing face it masters expert two players on to Musa both coconut and cry baby
Both won their face it advanced
Masters just within the past semester
We have players from calling all heroes amity is here as a representative and really stepping it up on the tank
We'll swap to flex TPS for the semester, but she's gonna be on tank for this tournament from what we can tell
And then O2BCS, of course we have a ton of representatives especially from St. Clair Winthrop and then Northwood University
Who we'll be seeing tomorrow
Yeah, Northwood will be tomorrow and Northwood at Winthrop final which is with a whole story this semester
Semester has been is it Winthrop's time finally to get a title like Illinois State
Just now return due to a variety of circumstances like milk that you may mow and goes back to Europe
And then a few other players moved you to OWS commenced that they don't return and then it's okay
This is finally Winthrop's time to shine because the only team they lost to the last year or so
Was ISU yep, so it's like okay, can they get this figured out? Can they get it well?
Well, in varsity, in varsity, okay, okay, okay.
And here in varsity, they are the favorite.
Absolutely.
Because, yeah, St. Clair can definitely push them.
They pushed into a map 5 in open playoffs.
So we know St. Clair can do it.
And then in open Northwood, each not once, but twice.
Once in Swiss, once in playoffs, and Northwood of all of a sudden catapults it back up
to the number one spot.
Which I would say at the beginning of the semester, I don't think many people had
because Chronic can't play.
We had Haven subbing in on Hitscan, so that is going to be, if there is a game that like you had, guys you have to watch it, it is tomorrow's open final, that's going to be about 10am Eastern, I believe 10am Eastern on 9am Central, that's what, 7am Pacific, but that is going to be one of the best games of the calendar for collegiate, but we still got some bangers for it today guys, it doesn't mean you get to leave, you guys are stuck with us now.
We're required to stay. We're holding your drops hostage. So, Evan, why are you here?
Enjoy what these collegiate teams have been working on for the entirety of the
school year. Top eight here for Nace Varsity. It looks like we're finally
getting ready to go in to map number one between St. Clair Saints and Texas
A&M San Antonio, Ash and Indiva. Still the bands. I just want to know what tank
they're gonna play. Wontor did love the wrecking ball back in the fall. Have not seen it once
this spring. And her ball is kind of in a sad place unless you were injected.
Oh yeah, we were catching up with the infection yesterday. It's like guys, it's not happening.
It's not going to you. There's so many hard counters to it right now, whether you know
of Zuby of Samurai Cast. Hog is even like, not great, but Hog is at least playable right
now in some circumstances. So, oh, we hear a game. Yes! We're in everybody.
Yes, we are rolling out. Round number one, Beyond Gardens is actually going to be Alex
in on the Flick support because I'm clear.
So we've seen this a lot because kind of red X and so are both main support base
Players so any Alex sub in from DPS the black support has worked out really well this semester
Want her actually on the rematch row to start
He needs to be the one to open the space get in there he's gone
Well, the rest of the team shorts to follow is Treads area way too scary to deal with Netser
It's a lot to deal with if you cannot burn out those bubbles right away and try and track it
This is going to be maybe some slaps coming in for Samuza. There we go
Water will have smashed their monsters really going to struggle against this type of pop and not just mr. Canada himself
One more run here before the world cup before his college career has wrapped up
It's a nice to see him get back in the break. He's already off to a fan
That's a story. I mean Crybaby being on the Cassidy, it's kind of difficult for him to match the soldier so strong with the range and you can see the chunks he is just taking out of these elf bars almost up to an overclock already.
Musa, I've taken her time on this approach, waiting for those bubble cooldowns. But once you're being on the Zarya, that is by far his strongest pick.
They already got Razor out of the fray and the value of the flashbang.
Coming in for cry, baby. Looking for the last shot on the Nox.
He won't find it, but that's why you got Kalkan up there to cover it up.
Clean team wipe. Protecting San Antonio.
All started off with Razor of all people.
Getting taken out first by Eve. That opens up.
You don't have to worry about a tracer in your backline all the time.
And let Temusa really settle in.
And now, already, Katsune rush built up here from Cupid's Soldier.
And that'll be able to kind of escort them in wherever Sikler decided to push in. Looks like it'll be White Room as of now.
But hold on, Ultimates on the other side. Sikler basically have everything but beats and that'll be coming in during the late fight.
Richard himself is a noxious overclock as the Red Corp.
To give him even more evidence, he's shocked.
So Art Landon would be warned with how much pressure he's under.
Alex is to pump every single healing paper in to bear the pulse.
Bravo!
Fantastic losing without a key to social.
Keeps him alive.
Cray baby!
What is it from Thor?
Dead Eye!
Keeps him on his feet for now.
There'll be a two for one.
He'll take that.
But it's not over yet.
St. Clair had the Sound Barrier a little bit later.
Dredt used that to his advantage.
To be able to clean this one up was only coped up.
But he explodes faster than you can take, Okinawa!
And I'll be a flip back over to St. Clair.
Yeah, what a turnaround!
Filling the time is really going into Musa's favor during that fight,
and Shred kind of just puts the team on his back, let's go.
But that is all five ultimates from St. Clair and four ultimates from Te Musa during that fight.
The still one to stay is the grab from Lancer.
Razor already coming up, killing up, already gets a really scouting,
But it's gonna be all the pressure here on Monster of the Land of Scrum.
And there's nothing that St. Clair can do about it, other than the Suzy.
Yeah, it's a throw and a hack, but it will get two players down, so it's a noxious fall.
And Tread shortly to go through, and a couple of trades for St. Clair, but nowhere near enough to keep this one going.
Just see if they can get it close to Final Fight territory, or they inevitably get this one up.
Yeah, there's some stalls, but it'll be coca-nico and a little crazy here at the end.
85% but that'll be where it holds for now for St. Clair, but Tread is gonna be so far already
25 to the next graph
Won't have the post-com from Razor to pair it with this time as coconut has theirs back up already
That's not the player you want to see go down first if you're the Jaguar's both supports
instantly
This and Razor's combined efforts enough to get that flip on over
They didn't even need any old friends. They didn't have any going into it.
No. Clean kill, Hanukkah's soldier, and with all those heals gone, it's just wrong.
It's Amusa now swapping over to self-privacy on the Reaper, and it gets grabbed.
Yeah, it gets grabbed. No touch, really. There's a wrecking ball swapped from Walter, so he'll be on the point,
but the rest of the team, well, fighting against gravity, and they're not winning.
Good flash there, and yeah, Sinclair. Who's gonna cook this one out? Still anxious.
One last overclock for this round, it takes a bite out of the Riking Balls health bar,
and steals with this pesky reaper, the pulse bomb from Razor, to shut that one down.
And it's up for Mr. D'Rush, who pulls off a relatively close round one, all things considered.
Yeah, at least some fights shown there.
By Tim Housseff, staying in it, but St. Clair,
believing we'll take it here first out in Gardens, and I'll see where we go.
So four round two as we have, of course, a pause.
Love pauses.
Elizabeth, swing around.
So it's not in the middle.
No crazy DCs.
So it looks like there is a PC issue for Trent that we are going to get sorted out.
But honestly, pretty close.
I kind of expect to say Claire to come out as this, you know, we're not going to give up anything kind of team.
But we had two full team whites in there for Texas A&M, a great grab from WANTER.
And so far, seem to be proving a landable narrative that they set themselves up for.
Yeah, this is the environment that Smusa love playing in.
They love being on land, they love getting into it.
And just for whatever reason, some teams do fantastic on land.
Some teams really struggle on land.
It really is kind of that double-sided story.
Like Nightmare, back in Champions Class last year.
They were a land team and then became not a land team at the back half of the
season.
But we won't talk about that guys.
That was that's kind of a great example of it. Let's see you to Musa maybe just as we get going here
How they want to go at it because again, they're not a Lucio team
Even though they're playing it right now
Always play it, but Eve doesn't play Lucio
Teams that he's been on he still is a flex support traditionalist outside of that
But he's not a bad Lucio and he kind of undersells himself. He's he's not super confident in it
But I'm like dude your nail on it
We're not really seeing him picked off first and he's so consistent
But yeah, any chance he does get to swap either love the jetpack cat
Yachty is another one who's actually seeing he pulled out quite a bit if that does come up
Which she's still relatively strong in this meta. So on some of our hybrid or escort picks
I wouldn't be shocked if we saw her
No, I wouldn't be shocked at all if we saw the a lauri especially on like a midtown or a Havana
Once we get into these pole-heavy maps, I wouldn't be shocked at all if we saw some Allari go into play,
because usually it's like, oh, it used to be the Bapzen for the longest time on maps like Circuit,
and then Zen still, like, the Discord is great, but he kind of just gets jumped most of the time,
and at least having one sort of movement ability for Allari has really helped for a kind of jump
into that position. Looks like we're maybe getting here now. Yeah, we are back in it to the game,
and it'll be Night Market for our second round.
Night Market, I am keeping an eye on Kokona,
because Temusa are known to pull out that Pharah,
the by far the biggest winner from the recent patch that we had
for Season 2.
Wouldn't be shocked if we saw that again here.
Crybaby is moving over to the Emre by the looks of it,
and I like that slightly better than the Cassidy,
just because there was a range difference on this round,
and you can better match Noxus on that soldier.
Yeah, you can at least match the range of Noxus,
And we kind of see it, I see more like 70-30 MRA being played over the sewage.
But still there's going to be something we just prefer on a sewage run right now.
We have a living market consistency and have that disruptive shot to block off some of these jokes.
Over the tracer for coconut is...
And he's got to suck it into the other sport here by Razor.
Not sure what happened to Cry Baby.
Probably went for some parkour and didn't end very well by the looks of it.
Yeah, these tracers duking it out razor and actually gets bored. I'm gonna go help my team because it looks like they need it
Not just going down the water
Struggling for HP when you see that much of a difference in a tank health bar start fear for your life
St. Clair took advantage of it. We'll get first count
Yeah, just a weird fight. I'm not really sure what happened to car baby there
But probably would have loved having that extra damage output because then you don't have to worry about the nades
You don't have to worry about you know emmery at all
And that's just a great asset to take care of this from all sides
Captain's one first it already poking at us marking by point trying to drag out some attention back over
If anyone will take the bait which razor at will wills is his duty as the tracer player in this match up
But I'm gonna go say any ultimate yet. Really just that pulse bomb that razor is building up to
Texan and Tentonio, just looking to see if they can get a Kent Kriby again under a ton of pressure.
Double bubbles from Tread. He doesn't have any protection.
Texan and Noah look at that Elthbar get obliterated.
Who's Lanter, who ended up going down the first good healing from Alex to keep his tank on his feet.
And we'll see a retreat again for the Jaguars.
Yeah, now that I have a full team work, just enough of a kill with, hey, Wasser's gone.
No pushing power, of course, Tim, so yeah, you can't get anywhere, so there'll be a reset.
But now, Concinera is all available here.
It's pretty easy to use it to finally push St. Clair away just a little bit, but Alex now has one to respond.
We have more options, but do we have to combo with the grab as the question?
There's so many things that go out of sight, and we'll be that Dr. Couser, Dr. Tread, and Stifley!
That kill feed lights up in the blue, the Saints!
Nothing with that one, so I'll take them straight to Final Fight territory.
Yeah, there's an assist, an assist, an assist on that one.
St. Clair, nice little team kill, they will push up.
It's right forward, that was it.
Well, that wasn't a test at all.
That was a big whoopsy. I mean, you saw an Ajax.
It's probably worse than an Ajax, I don't know.
That's better, but now I'm pushing.
Hey, you're trying to make a grip,
because now there's nothing that can be done to stop this overriding protocol
which he has put in a short advantage.
It's noxious in the back, but it's not what he's winning.
Coconut, good pick on the opposite side,
so these are all on that point, that Katsune rush.
Working wonders for them.
They do have control.
I wouldn't say a stable, because St. Clair,
they're hanging around.
Yeah, but St. Clair, no, they don't have to win this fight.
They can take the slow, they seem to win one more fight
to win the map.
So, might as well let Tamey say,
use all those ults, and it's still,
you know, some barrier about to be up here,
but Eve wants her, eventually, to build up this brow.
And that'll- if everything rotates this, it should actually work out pretty well.
This is the one time that I made Courage of Temple beat play.
But hey, you don't need it! Treads already did!
Fantastic skirt for the Jaguars, Eve!
Looking for a bit of a poop, actually, it's up-getting it!
On to Noxious, nice little kill for him, and he says he's not a Lucio player.
Picks up two in that fight alone.
Liar.
Yep.
Oh, that was a Lucio so fun, too. How can you not be a Lucio?
Well, again, some area to answer anything St. Clair want to pull out.
They have pulse and grab for this fight?
They have all the right pieces to start turning this around, but do they use them correctly?
They need to cycle ult because you cannot afford to do the fight and then grab to start.
Looks like an Elacran not just though and you don't even kill him!
Oh no, Coconut!
It comes in from the back so it doesn't go to waste and St. Clair has enough for them to back off.
Honestly, maybe if he's dead and Razor gets caught that'll be the fool he's sent now for St. Clair.
So that'll usher just a slight push for Temusa, but they know they cannot get greedy,
cannot have a kill fall to St. Clair's way, but still another pulse bomb in hand.
Pulse support ultimates for Temusa, aim 42, the overrides protocol.
The signs are lining up, St. Clair is trying to get out.
Uh, but it was a bait and switch, so far you're there for me, but if even that isn't enough to save water from the focus fire,
That is St. Clair's team's insane play, shutting down keeping soldier on this attempted bash,
pushed it all the right ideas, but Tread had the ultimate answer.
A boof, though, he does take the tank off the map, Eve is still alive, can't he get a touch?
No, shut down, after last second, St. Clair, take map one.
St. Clair, a little bit of pushback from Diverson, but like you said, a great bait and switch from St. Clair.
Allow them to push in with that casunia rush make them feel like they are a complete control of that fight
And then just throw the grab in for the end. I think this might actually be
No, this is round one which read this is one they just brought it back
It felt like this fight was completely falling away
From St. Clair's control and they're able to win it out. But yeah, St. Clair. Hey, this is kind of what we expected
They're gonna run their tempo. They love playing, you know these Zarya these diva comps
even the hazard a little bit later from tread potentially. These are the cops we know they're
going to run. Now that we're going to enter in, that's Musa will get the first ban. Do we see a
protect ban on Jetpack Cat if they want to run that? A lot of options here going into map 2.
All things considered though, very close map. I think when you're looking at the caliber
of St. Clair, I'm a little shocked with how close that was if he kept by the Jaguars.
They are buffed just being in this land environment. We can see how well that communication was going
But that on the opposite side you can also
Visibly see the effect that tread has on the discipline the alt management
Especially with that graph into the consumer rush at the end when you just did not have any sort of ultimate advantage
Turn that around real fast. So Zen ball in to Musa's courts
Where do they decide to take us? They love their new junk city
but unfortunately for them that's not in the map pool. Not there in the map pool for Temusa.

Now we can see what Timur so it would like to do like you said they're probably their normal pick
Once they lose a new junk city not the map pool
so where did they want to go now probably not a
Diva friendly map if I had to guess
Considering that Diva fan is already off the table. I'm a little surprised these
Yeah, but it's really wrong like it kind of have to
Really early even then I know they like Blizzard world and rune soppy
So I'm kind of leaning towards those as potential option. The flashpoint is their favorite game mode
They will pick new junk city nine times out of ten
That's what they did every single map to in the regular season except one
Which I'm not sure because it wasn't streamed
But every time that it was on broadcast went to new junk city. So that not
and see what they have in their minds.
Because again, that D.Va not being banable
for the rest of the series is quite scary.
Knowing Tread is on the opposite team.
Yeah, it's not just any D.Va player on the other side.
It's Tread on the other side,
which makes it a little bit more sticky for Tommie
to sort of figure out how they want to try and go about it.
I won't lie to you.
I want to see the cat.
I want to see the cat bastion.
Because, A, I feel like you need to throw in something different here for Temusa if you want to start clawing this series back.
But you're already a cat team. Like, they historically have been a shit-
Okay, they're a cat team on one map. I mean, does that count as a cat team?
More than most teams.
Fair enough. Fair enough.
Other than Winthrop, a Rack will, you know, well, we'll probably see the Rack cat later this weekend.
But no this is a team that at least can play it so it gives me confidence that they can maybe do something else I
Just got a tease of what we're we're getting here, but I'm not going to spoil I for I won't like I kind of forget
I had access to that you see it like you you got secret information
I'm like trying to squint at the screens, but I have no idea we're gonna we'll find out when it's actually
official what this team decides to go to but
Texas A&M San Antonio again rough regular season they had
several map fives against the likes of NC State and Cumberland, but no wins in the
Super Conference. They're just kind of happy to be there and enjoy the higher
level of competition and good good practice. I think it's prepared them for
this because map number one relatively close for a 2-0 and yes it will in fact
be Blizzard World for map number two. This is a big Iyari type map and they
are going to ban the Lucio to guarantee that that is a thing and
You're not worried about getting sped on every time well
Yeah, you get rid of the Lucio which is a big comfort for St. Claire watch. Well, you also protect the cat
Yeah, so now that is open for them if they want to run it
It's very the first two phases of this map very open third phase
And you may hit a few walls and you know to get a little back, but I'm actually really curious here
I'm watching you so much around they've also ran the Sigma before like they've ran kind of these posts
Not well, and it's not I didn't say it was their best cop
I didn't say it was their best cop, but it could be something if they want to try and throw something else out there
It's like Domina really isn't getting played that much right now
This is like the one map we've seen Domina though, which here and there here and there
It is something Walter has done before but I'm still thinking deep but I think both these teams are going to marry
Yeah, that's some degree. I'm just 1000% expecting the yardie from this team
I would be shocked if they don't do it as like yeah, you can do the cab or the bastion
Which does where the bands from the previous map it is in fact the Lucio and
Wattra this time around with that from watch event being in place that tells me that St. Clair
Really want to push for that diva for more of a speed
I wonder if they would do a Juno bling
For like this such you know such a good pairing with the diva
But at the same time you could just match that poke that we would be seeing.
Especially with the Lucer gone and still wants some aspect of speed.
And then the Junior is going to be pretty tough.
And then we kind of are starting to want to get in.
But I think, yeah, we'll probably see a little bit of...
...a little bit of...
...a little bit of potential of you going on.
Oh, we've seen a lot of combinations though, in the support line.
Especially in this map, like I said.
The Lorrie, Ana's been getting played a lot recently.
Chirico... Chirico's.
Um, continues to be better and better and better.
I would say a little bit of a nerf during this season, she patched.
But she's in such a great spot overall where it's like, how much does that really matter?
Probably not much?
I mean, either of them feels...
Yeah.
But it's an interesting situation, because we didn't see the farm, I'm waiting for the
power.
I've seen that from Kamusa.
Every single game.
Um...
I think it's a bit of a change, and I think that is a significant towards Razor, a lot of respect.
Given over to that, I think if you didn't match it, we would have just seen it, that would be a good issue.
And Coconut holding his own at the back, overachieving, for a lot of points.
I'm going to be a very solid series of story.
Far, I think you're ready to go on and to the wizard.
I'm not sure when he's starting on what side, so I think that is also going to determine.
determine what our compositions will feel like to start us off.
We'll find out here in just a second and it'll be St. Clair on defense first.
And not much of a shocker in what they're running.
Actually, I think sides are swamped.
Sorry, that's Tmusa.
That is Tmusa.
Names are swamped.
Yes, so Tmusa on defense.
No, I should go to Zarya.
Knowing that, hey, the diva's probably on the way.
Have a nice little counter there out for the diva on the other side.
But there is no jetpack app, but that Alari we're talking about is in play.
Eve will be on the Alari, keep it soldier, will stick to the Kittaco, and will be that Brigadjuno.
For St. Clair, that TP probably just, we're out of spawn, yet there it is.
Razor going over to the tracer, and try it as soon as they realize that Azaria, uh, yeah, they choose life.
Uh, they will smash it themselves.
And he's, he's happy. I mean, try Ziva, try Zaria.
Same thing, basically, in terms of skill level, and not much of the concern.
I'm slightly worried for Tamusa, just because of the Pichuno.
You still have some aspect of speed, that orbital ray, real scary to deal with.
But there is no character. No protection, Suzu.
For this tank of dread, which can't hurt, speaking of hurt, Razor Claw lost almost all of his health there.
And a couple of shots from Eid.
And by the looks of it, is he already a huge threat, happy to be on this flex support.
Yeah, there's double flexes where they're really going to be more comfortable.
The action is almost finished off immediately.
So, what is he able to survive for now?
But Alex will keep him on his feet.
Yeah, great heal there from Alex to keep Thread up, keep that charge online.
And now continue to walk on forward.
Try baby, already pulled over.
You take that trade though.
Yeah.
If you give your life for the...
You know, when Alex, absolutely, and so much less healing towards Thread,
90% to Kraft though, but this monster's died and he's so far away for it.
In comparison, he got that, he got the pulse card to keep it soldier.
He's gonna play out his Katsuna Rush, but it just dazed our Voodoo back to what we saw in Liza Tower.
Shuts down the Kirikou Alt and St. Clair will find themselves a field comfy here on point A.
Yeah, I'll see. Even for Blizzard World standards, pretty nice time bank going into second phase.
It'll be just, uh, four and a half, four to four and a half minutes.
Yeah, 420 going into the next phase.
phase. And randomly they want more, but he's gonna have to kind of settle just the damage and old
charge that he was able to pull out. Rally and the orbital ray here for St. Clair. Either of those
can match up with Noxious to just to help incentivize this overclock during this next fight. But there
is no plan for this chapter of the sun. And here he is with that hand over our protocol. I think
that's the exact same thing. Like this team doesn't stand a chance. St. Clair, as soon as he
Yeah, like we are not touching ace, no, shiny button, we will give up this fight.
But for T'Nusa, I think they're honestly okay with that unmatched unit, because look at the position they now have to hold.
Yes, now they can just hold this backside of first base.
And this is, we've seen this more and more as of late, they just want to play up, because you don't want to allow things to have any sort of setup.
Get the overclock from Nox just something to kind of break through with a bubble of water.
Not to get him to Sand King.
Now the rest of the team, they're faked.
I'm sure they need to back loose in this head with the very last shot that was charged.
Watch her.
Don't ever grab it from Serge because don't throw it out.
In his attempt to turn this fight around, the Sand King is rallying for this exact moment.
Giant Shield for a team and a huge Bolls bomb for Razor.
Both support.
I'm going to bits and St. Clair, what a way to get themselves out of that mold.
Yeah, just punches their way through the stronghold of the Jaguars and some changes are coming.
Coconut, all the way to St. Clair, so I'm buddy, that is not where you want to be.
If Razor could just go right there to heal.
I eventually, Coconut will make his way back over to Plank Civil Razor.
Just kind of a little bit of a drive by here.
I don't mind this, try and shut down Shroud of the Mort, you make them use the bubbleboard
offensively, rather than getting it to Razor for these setups.
I have like, one idea, but I also wonder if it's for this all the right, that is one
of the best support ults in the game, just because the healing and the damage are combined,
that's so far, I'm hoping I don't want to see anything like shield, Graviton Surge
now without a exact combined of the damage boosts, that's just like a lack of an
Not just getting both water and the cry baby there
Secrets have so many alts coming into this fight. It's too much. I invested so heavily in this phone home
I did not last say Claire couple meters away from getting this point number two and extending that time making you further
We love a little bit of a stalk coconut still just for a bit and up for one
To get back over to the point for will it actually matter?
Really everybody will fall over
Third and second phase finished up. Third phase now begins for Saint Claire.
We're just over three minutes and they still have another Razor Pulse Bomb in their back pocket.
Got two eliminations last time around.
Could just get another multi-kill here.
Oh, it's usually Bubble.
Yeah. Should not be doing it.
At least we can try to do it again, but not this time.
That's usually what we call very early support of Eve on Coconut's angle.
But this is also those ultimates going back up for TeMusa.
And looking at the override protocol for Crybaby,
that's kind of showing some space, but they're letting St. Clair get a decent
amount of progress on this payload first.
They sleep on a razor,
couple perfectly timed at the moment she's going to wake up.
It's unarrested now,
four keeping soldiers, but everyone on the stage,
they're so far away, they'll just back up.
Yeah, just...
Well, reset. Nothing too crazy, but
it takes out a big ultimate from TeMusa.
And yes, the Nano Override is...
GO!
The Overclocked!
But by Noxious Crybaby!
On his revenge arc on the last Overclocked, he's gonna come up with two!
And to Lusa, if they manage to get through this without any ultimates, look at that economy they have to pull from.
Yeah, great economy. Noxious will make the swap now to match the M-Ray of Crybaby.
Uh, realizing maybe you're getting a little bit too much gun on the Emory right now.
And like you said, it's still both TPS-Alt's, Grav, Nano, all online here.
But they cannot afford to pop them all at once.
St. Clair will at least have the rally to counter counter whatever comes first.
I have options. I think you're gonna save the rally for Grav though.
I mean, it worked out so well last time.
It blocks the name. It blocks whatever else is gonna be thrown at it and not the angle.
But look at Eve! He's so far on the side!
Yes, Olam! He's just going at the damage!
What a battle, too!
Kid's driving me alive through the post bomb, right?
He's been so good with these, and he needs so much resource!
Just to stop him, and try maybe going to do just that.
Coconut on the other side, down to just over a minute for St. Clair to push the payload.
That has been fantastic awareness.
Like, hey, if I give this Nano, it's just enough damage resistance to where
that mark can still pop.
The downside for Timoosa, they used everything.
Uh, when we said they shouldn't use everything, granted they will have this container up to 20, but that is a free grab for Tread.
Grab and overrun available.
Dude, that's not obnoxious! It's a nice mate into the backline, but this is a much cracker, and I didn't think he would want it to be in fact.
They might not win this at all. There's no supports, and they can't use that overwrite to push this onwards using the beam careful knowing that Tread very much will threat how much charge he has.
Yeah, have to keep their distance.
Does the Jaguar's 30 seconds left?
One more fight.
Over time, we'll start durian.
That's it.
Tuna Rush is now up for Tupid Soldier.
Pukenet will have this pulse.
Alex still has the Orbital Ray to have Counter Punch to St. Claude.
Perfect.
And the Tupid Soldier is consuming Roshnik's Solar and for the Jaguar's to get any value out of it.
In fact, Tupid Soldier almost going down at the start.
He's nose bars struggling to stay above water.
The couple of trades may help if the Jaguars can get another touch
That's a big if because you have on a curie to try and touch right now. Not as I'm having any sort of move in
One more blank would have done it with the nano boost there
But now we'll be a full completion for snake Claire in the overtime
How to decent third-point defense, but overall I'm gonna say Claire the driver seat. Yeah, St. Claire driving at home
But, again, at least over time, so if Temusa do this cap, regardless, they will have an overtime push, and so will St. Clair.
But, just to say, regardless of Temusa, if they finish with over a minute, then St. Clair will not.
But, at least a good step here in St. Clair, we'll see how they want to set up on defense.
It's going to be a little bit tricky for Temusa on this engage, but I think a lot of their strengths during that defense
taking advantage of all that natural high ground that the defense has during certain sections
of this map.
You're not going to have that obviously on the flip side of the point, so we, uh, not
just, they'll start on that, but it's not even going to try on the soldier in the
start off.
I do like that call, it's certainly how well it worked on the back half of that attack.
And the rage is much more consistent.
Yes.
It's easier to match crybaby and you're not playing soldier in RNG with the, the primary
so.
swap a lot, but if you take a look at the stats here, Crybaby, 16 and 6. He was really
having a great time. Cupid Soldier as well, underrepresented, but if he gets off this
Lucio, he says he's not a Lucio player, but maybe that's because he can do things like
this on the honor, if given the opportunity. But overall, it's like, clear. Consistent
as ever, they're setting up for this first point.
Here we go. Can they hold it down here on the point? This would be the big test for
Tammuzza. Can they keep the series kind of pretty competitive, right? If Ziggler
just holds the line, it goes 2-0. All the momentum in the world is in the
state's favor. Two is of a tall heel to climb up. But if they can at least have a
good attack, bring this into OT, we could have a series on our hands.
Are we going to be up there with E, the huge biome,
either to force bubbles from the tread
or just to land it like that.
That's actually one of the blocks, this tread.
He's using a ton of resources because of that,
but he under pressure.
That's going to raise his main jobs.
Do not let this grandma exist on the high ground.
Coconut, an excellent bodyguard though,
for his support player.
He'll be able to stay in this position for a little longer.
Oh, nevermind, right in the back.
Like, that's not good.
Coconut went on an adventure.
He's hunting for her.
Look at the peel coming in.
The coconut was farming in the backline and we just didn't get the same result from Razor Evil eventually.
Take out the pain in the side of my goodness, Temusa. That was great.
An underrated pick during that fight was Soaks? Yeah. So early.
In that fight, Eliminated, it's just the armor packs are gone then for Razor.
Makes it a little more difficult to challenge Eve on the high ground.
And it'll be an extra 45 seconds or so.
Going into second phase for good Jaguars. This is exactly what they needed.
If it's D.VaSwap, it's great for mobility, if you're face-to-face with a monster, maybe not so much.
Yeah, it can't really be within the 20-foot radius of walking.
If you are dread here, so look to be careful.
I think it's more of a, can we bait these bubbles out with some of these large resources
and go for more of these big coconuts?
What a stick-on tech! Alex grabs a bit of a picky-toe at the end.
He's gonna get the second, if they want to be one win for Razor, I've said it so many times today.
is doing well because this guy is firing in all cylinders.
To lose out on the Cupid Soldier, is that going to slow the push a little bit?
But they're still getting the payload progress they want.
Yeah, still some payload progress even if they don't have the total height control
that they would like to have right now.
Right, maybe we'll go back to help usher in the Cupid Soldier with this.
Brush it, make clear.
Have an abundance of the No More Ranger.
No More Ranger? No More Pulse Bomb too?
How did he shut down in Tewsha?
They were just No More Nunches!
Popped the midair, and free dip!
Says Crybaby, he's gonna come off with two,
as they're gonna invest heavily into that.
And here's your second point.
I don't think you get a good touch of your safeware.
So does his bad line somehow.
He's rallying to say it live,
and it's nowhere to tread,
who's desperately needs a kneeling Alex.
Certainly can't assist you that.
No poppy orbital ray.
This rabbit on search will watch him go.
Nevermind.
Drag says, I like gravity.
That sounds great.
He's that one up,
but you'll fall shortly afterwards.
Tommusa, are they still in control of this?
This is the question, that was so scrappy.
It's a 4v4 where they don't have a lot of their main damage
from thriving here right now, so they're trying to play it slow,
but that will also allow Tread to go back into this fight.
So a lot of the advantage that you had
during the tail end of it is now gone.
And now Tommusa have to fully reset.
I'll leave a little bit of a disaster,
but that rally actually ended up working out.
I wasn't so sure at first but so stays up our packs are big
Sinclair hold for the time being but another pulse box of coconut as long as he stays up has to give a mega
But that could be a little bit of danger here only open on the board for now
Super reliable one on this day and age
Look at any supports and nice and juicy opportunity eventually frozen won't quite land
But if I so much time look how low trend is
It's because there wasn't any healing support,
Pride isn't able to take out Razor as the value that Coke can ever bring,
even if he's not against or getting the actual elens,
he's taking the attention away.
So those resources with the St. Clair are limited in the front line,
but because that pick is taking so long to follow up,
now you have them coming in, the spawns are close to St. Clair,
and they want to keep holding this one out as long as humanly possible.
Razor back in the flight has the pulse on some of that,
and he's standing on the payload, getting a little too close there for St. Clair.
Let's try to follow as the pulse bomb goes wide.
Hope for defense here.
Our slim, in fact, zero.
Three minutes 40 seconds now for Tumusa to finish the map.
A very winnable time bank here just did not
allow Sinclair any sort of overtime.
During time, four overtime to push through.
Because they still have three ultimates.
The fourth and fifth student to come here for the Jaguar
is starting to pick up steam on a Blizzard world.
It's a little fitting what Blizzard world is based off of.
You know, it's just double-rope.
Ha ha ha!
It is more fun.
What's not so funny for Tmusa is that it's Override Protocol, not just just to send
them all back to spawn, and they think that's okay, you can come back relatively quickly.
This is where things are going to start to get chaotic, Jesse.
Yeah, this is where Tmusa was able to hold for a long time during their defense.
Let's see now if they can have a similar track.
Nano-boost override protocol for Grida Baby instantly goes for Noxious, looking for this Chudo Alex!
Doing some fancy footwork in the sky if that's even possible!
Doesn't have taken anything and even wish the one you won on the Grida Baby!
That was the most big fight, it fell off a cliff and a half!
Zinclair is so happy with that!
Zinclair, yeah, consider it you were dealing with a Nano override protocol and you still win that fight that easily.
easily. That's a pretty good side for the future. Over the ray still in the hands of
Alex because that was an incredible 1v1 and it's a great movement attack from the Juno
to stay alive and even. Well, it's a debate to go a little bit, but to the back, and now
back over to the top.
Yes, with all identity crisis for Eve, that eventually will settle the lower back
here.
Anna, I think that's a good idea considering the over ray is here for Alex. Temusa kept
him back to the spawns and that is completely successful. As the hard part was St. Clair
trying to push up as fast as they do. There's a safe haven for Jamusla right around the
corner.
But I think they're okay with that right now because look how much time they're just getting
kicked off, down and down and down. So this is a great drop for them to take even if they
are not cleanly winning these fights.
I mean they're probably not going to win this one. There's a shooting rush and a
muck tread and a load down. And, Walter, this is the best buff of Sorghia. If you
can't fly away if you're treading, you are forced to face tank and happy day.
For Jaguar's all things considered, they're gonna round this last quarter to lose on an Eve!
And they'll get the progress they want.
That may hurt the beginning of this next fight, though.
It's not like Eve can walk very fast over, or have any movement attacks to get back into this fight.
They can lose so much, but it's just a little bit conservative.
Grab, eatin' up last time I tried.
It'll be a 2-2.
And Tret, you have to move the cabinet.
It's been long enough with the alt-trackings on point.
Both of them went out from close, and I'm not sure where, but didn't do much to kill the obnoxious.
Now it's the start to be the firing squad. Everybody taking cover in the small room.
Massive chunk of damage done. In the side and at the point where Tread wants to go dive in and dive out.
Three kills for him coming on through. St. Clair, we've got the last fight for them. They're never going to get stuck on the water.
Once they're staggered out loses all of the charge that was built up throughout these last few fight
But somehow it just so gets that way for each one. I that must have been like the last possible second for that to go through
Yeah
Can't
37 on one place in Raffy!
To blow them to pieces, 10 seconds remaining,
Temusa on the payload, full cap or nothing.
Yeah, regardless, if Temusa caps it,
at least both teams will have one minute to push.
But they gotta finish the job first
and a little bit of a trip here,
and Alex would get it all, but he dies for it.
You're gonna raise, cause if you could,
Old Slaughter cannot live with no bubbles.
Do his name, take clear!
At the end of the day, you get a very close!
MAP number two! Their consistency!
We'll keep them on top and get them up to match points in our playoffs.
Match points may get to that Group B upper bracket final to earn a spot in our top four later today.
But still one more to go to make that happen.
This is probably that.
That nano override from Crybaby.
Try to keep them in it.
I said no, that was a shutdown earlier.
That was a great shot, right?
But, again, this is kind of the same where we expected.
But I will say, to me, we're still giving them a little bit more pushback
than I was initially anticipating.
Considering their last matchup...
It was not close.
It was not close, in this like, they were not getting capture points.
They almost got perfect gage.
Yeah.
That is how...
It was a good crop.
I'd say the very least, but much closer, and then the lag buff
is coming in.
I hope you like it.
Crybaby, you're having a great day.
Yves is just playing on another level.
Yeah.
It thinks it went well for the Jaguar Racer.
It's just not enough.
And it feels like we're talking about Temusa enough,
but it's because St. Clair, with how well rounded of a roster
they are, we almost don't see standout players,
because everybody is doing their part
to contribute to their role.
That because the amount of team synergy that they have,
it takes these insane pop-off plays like this
that we're seeing from Crybaby now,
and to just watch something like their playstyle.
I'll say Razor's playing extremely well.
I would say Nacho's had a little bit of a slow start to this series,
and I think he'd be the first to admit that.
The aim was a little all over the place on Leisurentower,
but he's really started to settle in now once he's gotten over to the Emery.
But I do feel like that's somewhere where they can still at least
maybe make some ground in St. Clair.
Right now I feel like Crabboos may be getting the better end of that duel.
But I think this right now, St. Clair had better flexibility.
That Brick Juno was excellent.
Now we can see what is left here for Tidduos.
So obviously escort, flashpoint, push, are the remaining math types that they can pick from?
But let's see here what they would like to go.
Runosofia Jetpack Cat.
I would say they wouldn't do it.
But here's the problem, they already use their Lucio ban.
And that is their one condition for not running the Jetpack Cat,
is if Lucio is still available.
Because they pulled that out, is that something they want to try?
Also, play Ysperanza, and I say play, because I've either seen them absolutely steamroll,
or get steamrolled. There was no in between and it terrifies me. Anytime I see that map queued on up.
But hey, their last map against Cleveland State was when they steamrolled it through and
hey, it got them here. Two top eight to the land in the first place. Can they prevent themselves
from going down to the lowers? I think it's going to be a long shot. But with how well
St. Clair is performing today. You know, St. Clair, and this is, supposedly that last map
was kind of classic St. Clair. Yes, it's been taking them a little bit of time to get into it, this series.
But, and also, guys, it's early in the morning, so it's like, that's kind of the expectation.
It's 10am now. Is that, is it still early?
Are there some of these teams that could be like 9? Like for us, it's like 9am.
Oh yeah, I mean, Tmuse, it's a little...
And they were here at, they were here at 8. Most teams were here at 8.
Well, Tmuse.
Tmuse was not here at 8.
They were...
Not to call them out, but they were not here at 8 today.
But they're here, they were on time for their match, they just didn't have as much warm-up time, so.
And it's... it's all good.
And they're confident enough in their round performance, I guess, if you wanted to go that direction.
But Full Swing here is where we are at now for our competition at Full Sail University.
Three game titles being played out for the NAIS varsity brand finals from all over North America.
St. Clair, the only representative from Canada in Overwatch, have teams playing in a couple of game titles for TAMUSA.
This is the only team that they have here. It is their highest level team, the highest peak any of their teams, in fact, have managed to hit this year at a minimum.
They're very proud of it! There's NicheBronza on my screen. That scares me just a little bit, but no, it's going to be the play.
Zarya ban is out. The Cassidy ban being from Temusa puzzles me a bit because that is very much a Crybaby pick
But I guess they want to force the M-Ray
Instead and prevents or maybe the Sojourn, but I think if you're Crybaby, he does not do as well
I think I don't that Sojourn comparatively you want to keep the M-Ray because the Zarya is gone that screams D.Va Mirror
Yeah, they want the D.Va. That is exactly what St. Clair will want now
Even though the Zarya has been going well, I feel like they can expand the gap in the
Divamir rather than the Zarya Mir.
Because watch your Zarya, I will say, who's been excellent today, he's been keeping up
with Tread.
That's hero.
But Tread has definitely still kind of extended that a little bit more and a little bit more
as this series has gone on.
Well, let's see here for Tim and we'll see, do they have enough gas in the tank
to send us to another round?
Or will it be a 3-0 here to start us off today?
And I think these first 3-4 minutes are going to be the most important for the push map, as I said.
There's no balling, historically.
Or to Musa, if they fall behind or get really far ahead early on, their chances of closing this out grow immensely.
Just because of the way the map is structured, those high ground bridges are so oppressive they have to push into.
So, if you can get your team set up on that spot, it's why we rarely see larger comebacks on this map.
Yeah, it's quite tricky to come back on this map. It just really is.
To give you all just a little bit of a roundup here of the other games going on, all of the opening round games are going on,
as this one is.
In the other Group B game, the 3C versus the 6th, NC State is up 2-0 on the University of Texas Dallas.
So maybe kind of those pre-event jitters are gone now for the Wolfpack and over in Group A.
Winthrop is up 1-0 on Briarcliff. We do not know a score from Cumberland Belvedere.
We saw Cumberland kind of celebrating though, so maybe that is a sign to tell and also a
sign that we see now. We were wondering when it was going to happen.
It has happened to Musa. He's in the cat bastion Eve and cry baby.
About to go airborne. And Wander on the wrecking ball has not pulled this out the entirety of the spring semester.
It's gonna make his return here. It's what got to Musa to top eight in the fall
And it's our last hope here of saying in this upper side of our group stage jetpack cat
Bastion to be the play Eves says that to Musa they don't like this cat from him
It stresses them out, but he loves it if he can convince him to do it
It's a bottom way to make it work
Well, it's like if Korean teams are doing it, that's the time you got to do it even though
Oh, Krami be lost. Krami is a little bit...
He needs a little beat-ups.
There he goes.
Give him a piece. There we go.
He's got a piece. We're good, though.
You gotta got caught on that.
A little hit.
I saw Tread kind of pull through.
That's not gonna end well, but he's actually noxious.
Who goes down first.
Follow my water.
That's a bit sketchy.
Going forwards.
Krami may be a new take for his team,
but he is gonna be airlifted out of there.
And even grabs Alex.
This is getting so much value.
Protect the stand-ups.
I told you, the lack of a frontline is making the rest of the team suffer while this Bastion is driving.
This is a deathmatch basically. This is TDM. This is an actual overlauch, it feels like, sometimes.
There's just so many wonderful ones going on at once, but eventually, Temusa will win the first fight.
And now we gotta see if Sinclair will make any changes. Not just surprisingly enough to get it.
I thought for a sec maybe the castity would be a swap to do with coconut and oh you're right. Never mind go
I think the emerald then is
Here is pretty good for the bastion and even if you're not gonna get
At least in the front
as the pulse bond is from straight out of cryo baby,
he goes to bluey.
It seems that St. Clair got the grip on what you very well said
is a team deathmatch so far.
Yeah, very TDM at St. Clair, locked in,
and they will flip this one around.
29 meters for the open push.
On to Temusa, now some of these big check marks.
Entering the fray, self-destruct for tread.
That's about it after the razor pulse
sealed away that previous fight.
Three ultimates for Temusa.
The cat-napping really doesn't have anywhere to drag anybody off map at this point, it's kind of once you get past the initial butt-scratch that you're going to be able to get that.
So it's kind of okay, but we keep also going down it is a very sad day for crybaby. He needs his babysitter at all times
Yeah as like the oppies were needed a little bit earlier
We'll be checkpoint here for St. Clair touch does not come in time before coconut
That'll usher him just to kind of back off there for a minute
The big part is there St. Clair is zero all to use compared to the two from Timosa
That's the fight you really needed to win if you're the Jaguar
You know this lead you can get extended real fast and this is starting to get to that margin of St. Clair
Okay, just play you're near mid take advantage of the high ground
Just that he was setting up for a catnapper that plan afforded by Alex and shred
It's running through everybody else and there's nobody to stop this diva with water on the ball
Yeah, this is gonna be tricky for timbers. I feel like they need to win this next one or this series is done
Like you said earlier, it's so hard to come back, especially on this map, especially if they're about to hit 100 meters already.
Yes, they clear. That's really old-time and both TPS, Noxious, Chuck at their health bar, Cupid Soldier, again going down.
Totten Valley is out of that override protocol as the Saints want to walk this one home.
Trying to usher this one through for Canada's finest to book a spot in that ever final here in Group B.
As of now, we're more than likely playing MC State, but in terms of not guarding it,
mine's on point, and Tread is getting too banged for.
I don't know what that is.
Cheek is playing from Wampter.
I mean, nice little bit of synergy, but it just won't be enough.
Self-destruct from Tread.
Guarantees and a rematch to keep it.
Soldier has been getting crashed.
This entire team.
Coconut not able to keep up.
And with the team comp changes, the lack of a solid core.
Well, there you go.
There's more of it.
Wampter.
Last second, Malgus walked, but in perhaps too late, St. Clair, mere meters away from a full capture,
he's shooting a rush, activated for Alex, one of final red carpet to see if there's something else
that you can do, a little bit of crab clock and tread, even if the Jax, as you can't play this as new.
The Moosa, they wanted to try something, wanted to get the shot, they had nothing to lose,
but unfortunately, the gamble will not pay off. Beautiful, Puneck throw from Alex,
finishing off the gap for one final time St. Clair 3-0 with the first round of the
day sports and playoffs. They will go through to the upper game against
potentially MC Stake. Again we were waiting to see when that result comes
through but yeah that's the St. Clair we know and love. We said like hey this
could be a very close game or it could be a roll. It ended up being the latter
Here and this was actually right at the end Alex just some beautiful flicks on
And the kid of our vessel whoop
Bye-bye cat and I would say some good
Signs for too much to take away from this. Maybe I understand the hate. Maybe the cat mask up. Is it ready?
Yes, but if they do go against you TV
Which I might a guest right now probably it is to see a Alex
Fair enough guys. We get that's kind of what we thought it was going to be
I think they actually do have a chance because the 1-3 against Dallas this year
But that one win was very recent and it was on land where they have played better historically
So best of luck to them that will not be on the stream
St. Clair now they will away the winner of that and then if they win that in a semi-final later today
I get second place from our group a but a great start here for the same
on to this finals. The only team they have lost to in this bracket of course being Winthrop University
who are in the other groups. They won't have to face them until way later on depending on how
all of the seating for that single E-Lin top four ends up playing out but for now the Saints
great showing of what they have to offer and what is still to come. Yeah and here we go like
this is we're in the waiting now guys. We are in the land here. This is the first for
For a concept for you, maybe you're just, you watched for the drops.
You know there's probably a lot of you here that are just watching for the drops and you
want to learn more about collegiate.
This is the first time we're going to crown an Overwatch Collegiate Champion on LAN since
2019.
It was Greece COVID.
I was in high school, you were what, either high school or middle school at that point?
Something like that, yeah.
Like it was a long time ago, even okay, but I think we're still playing collegiate
at that point.
That tells you how long he's been around.
Just calm, old.
He's 27, but he's a grad student.
So, you know, hey, fair enough for getting your masters.
But this is a great opportunity for these teams to kind of crown a champion here on land.
And yeah, fantastic so far.
We've had the showing that we wanted, Timoosa kept most of the maps close, all things considered,
gave us a good taste of what is still to come.
For Collegiate Overwatch, as we said, we have five total series to show on broadcast
today.
to the other group for our next match to see a bit of a bittersweet which team will be heading home
first on that side. It's always a sad thing that we have to watch our teams. Yeah, we just before
we go here, one quick more shout out to Raven for all that they do here for Nays. What's thanks to
our partners at Raven GG. Raven is the official merchandise partner of Nays in the premiere
platform for creating your dream custom gear. Whether you're outfitting a team or building
a brand raven give schools everything they need to look their best visit raven
dodgy g to start creating today some of the teams you're actually wearing
raven jerseys as well i know all the nays staff are wearing raven gear it
looks like i won't lie like basically got any extras you know we will
shamelessly promote we will shamelessly promote here on stream
we will not complain whatsoever i know i get to see all these fun jerseys so
make sure as we get ready for this break keep an eye out for all these
players, all these jerseys, all these schools that are being represented across all three
game titles that are played here at Full Sail University in Orlando, NAIS Grand Finals.
For the varsity side, off to a banging start.
We're going to go ahead and throw it to a quick break before we head off into our
next series.
So stay tuned to much more Collegiate Overwatch to be played.
My name is Ryan Murky-Mohiga, I am a coach at George Mason University eSports
call duty team and I am a computer engineering and computational data science
students. When I first needed a car I was 18, I was straight out of high school
driving a Chevy Suburban up 45 minutes in a rush hour every day and I kind of
just got to a point where I kind of wanted something a little bit more
enjoyable. It just was actually in the same building that I worked in you
know I went to my dad and asked like okay we like I want to do this when
we get a new car and he said like all right let's go over to you in touch.
There was a lot of uncertainty going into this process. I was expecting a lot
paperwork, a lot of numbers, really understand kind of how any of this works.
The first thing we were talking to was actually a car guy, so he was almost like
I was like, yeah you're getting your first car, you know what are you getting?
Having a car really helped me travel for eSports events and not only that it
just gives me the ability to be the team dad. I give my players rise, get the
campus for NAIS matches, and just supporting the team in a bigger way
that I wouldn't be able to before. Many NAIS students are looking for
financial tools, resources, and support from people who care. I recommend
checking out in Touch Credit Union. With graduation coming up, honestly don't
I think I'd be where I'm at in my financial journey without them.

Welcome back to the NACE Varsity Grand Finals here at Full Sail University in Orlando.
We're still round number one of our double elan group stage
We're actually gonna jump in mid series to another game is still going on NC State started up 2-0
But University of Texas Dallas ended up taking map number three
So we're gonna see where they're at from that move before yeah map three was blistered. We're also kind of you know
Where we just left off just different series. Oh, yeah, UT Dallas sneak that one away
They extend the series out after NC State one maps one and two
Let's see if the comments can pull off a reverse sweep here in this first round
It's on a perform
They have the record of the longest series in the regular don't get me started
They took Cumberland to six maps week number one
Let me double check the result between these two teams as we kind of just got thrown into this one
It was a 3-0 NC State
So this is already an improvement from that regular season game granted
It was week two when these teams met and that was kind of when NC State was in that prime
That they had really bad that uprising between last semester carried it over to the start of the spring season
But they've been on a bit of a rough patch as of late and it seems that UTD
Managed to take advantage of that on Bullsick World. Yeah, it's just been a little weird for NC State as of late
They've had some some awkward results
They lose two to three to Briarcliff the final round of the regular season
And that's a 3-2 to Akron to make you here, but granted, it's not like, I think they had a weird roster for that.
It wasn't a full roster, so that at least helps a little bit.
I'm not afraid here for Anti-State.
A, it's their first base event, as again, as a varsity program.
So shout out, Anti-State for moving on up.
But also, again, this is a team that can really kind of go with the flow.
And it'll be, yeah, Anti-State won Lijiang Tower, and then I believe that's Atlas.
That is Atlas. It does say Atlas on the screen.
Ah, yes. I was looking at the map.
I'm trying to play Geogacer Overwatch Edition in my head,
and that doesn't always work out the greatest.
You really just made me question my sanity.
Like, is that how you spell Atlas? No, it isn't that good.
Journalism major, everybody.
I know. You're getting right professional.
Here we are.
Rudisoppi, though, will be map number four.
It is NC State's pick.
Looking at the band that we've had so far,
been all over the place.
I see some Jetpack cat in there.
We had a Farah man on Lee John Tower.
So I am curious to see how this is played.
We know that phone specifically said that
this is kind of their patch.
A lot of their quote unquote silly heroes
are very strong right now.
And something that they can exploit in this series.
And I wonder all of the picks that have come through
because phone is known to play upwards of like
eight euros in a series.
Like phone has been on DPS, phone has been on Tank.
I don't think phone's been on support
more than like it was.
How about today?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Is that a phone?
You know.
You got Joye Hermosa as your support line.
I don't think you need to flex phone that much.
What if Joye's like secretly really good at like,
I don't know, far up?
Okay, you know.
I don't know about that.
We're stretching it there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But on the other side for NC State,
it's been difficult for us to get a full grasp
with this team because they have also been
all over the place with their rosters.
It's very rare they show up with the same person
in the same role on the same date,
just depending on who is there.
These are not the correct pants because these are both tanks.
So we will get a confirmation on that in a second,
but Rudisappi is still in MAPA.
It is, in fact, Juno, not Junker Queen.
Both start with J, so probably right next to each other there.
It's Juno Benz.
That makes a lot more sense.
I'm assuming it is Splice that is playing tank currently
for NC States, with Lobby, Oblivion, on DPS,
Melix, Bunkachonka, which, by the way,
There's some really good ones out there, like I'm trying to think some of the best that we have, at least here, because if we go Collegiate as a whole, there's a lot, like Bobby Wasabi for Briarcliff is one of my favorites, but I don't know if they're actually here this week, it was a little sad, I will say.
Um, there's a lot of good ones. You can do a whole like Jeopardy game for that.
I did a pretty good- I know you guys can't see it.
the caliber of the other teams, first time competing in NACE because they just became a varsity roster.
But they also have coach. They don't have that type of backing behind them.
They are all kind of self-to-show-up and make those corrections on our own.
And to get to the level of success that they have is honestly impressive.
Yeah, it's been a great year overall. Even going back to the fall,
NC State was a team that slowly rose up and got back in.
By the way, these two teams know each other very well, and there's a lot of good friends.
Chat is gonna be its own experience for a game like this.
Yeah, they just, they know each other a lot.
Anti-State, looking for a little bit of that...
Well, I don't know what they're doing, so I'm just gonna wait for them to figure that out.
I said don't comment on whatever's happening.
And this is the final turning for Abdullah.
There's a lot of sign-offs and send-offs this weekend. Abdullah is another one here.
He's been at Dallas for so long, it feels like.
Ever since they kinda got to Dallas, been around this team, multiple arrows, even like
the pedal days for Dallas, now we get to see here the final run for Adelaa.
And it's with this Zarya Reaper, and Reaper, with the Dire Trickers going to base kit,
has been seeing a massive rise in performance, and did it a ton in play, but Phone loves
this hero, and with Adala being on the Zarya, it's happy the bottle full on over to them.
I do worry how this works out for Spley from the Orisa in the long term. I don't think
you want to stand in front of an Adala or a phone for any point of time, and you also
have speed. Bunker Chunko is on the William instead of a Lucio here, and it's going
to make it dicey. It's going to come down to more of these Pokedrages and Elix
is actually going to find Eric's head, exactly the elimination that is needed,
Our phone's falling shortly after, and G-State will manage to make this work.
Another warrior on the rosy game that doesn't end up in the team with speed favor.
That's, you know, explain that one.
We have some great early pickups, or Mosa will just squeeze out an oblivion.
Not able to finish off the Lucio, but some changes already made here for Dallas.
Phone will go off of the Reaper, and onto the Symmetra.
So we thought they didn't have enough movement already, Molly.
We got some more movement to kind of disrupt,
But I'm really loving this we on from fucking chunker so far
It's an extra element kind of early takeoff and early pull damage
But not having to commit to an angle which is kind of the uniqueness of
Which is also really good for instance state everybody on that team has
significant range to be able to work with and I think it's slotting buck and chunker into that
It's fine. It just gets a little bit scary when UT Dallas closed that gap especially the phone
Smashing out like it's a whole lot easier for them and even harder splices it is yet another beam character
He's gonna have to
Yeah, you can tell it every single time you try and push up
It is a slow retreat from entry state
They want nothing to do with this close fight until they get this rush
You're kind of flying to the katsune rush here and then once you take out phone like all right threats over splice staples
They are to a wall or go ahead and clean up one more because why not and
and NC State, proving why they've been in control
for more than this series,
you need to have a stupid scatter to start.
Yeah, just they wanna try to run it down with a plate.
NC State are just not giving them the opportunity to you.
It's stressful out there, man.
Everybody got their own little something
to try and get them through the day.
And it's only the one ultimate from NC State.
They got four now going into this,
but the touch will come in from follow.
Dwayne will put the consumer rush down.
NC State, just wanna put it out there,
Which I'm honestly impressed they all make it in one piece considering again lack of speed
That's a good thing I rushed down four spawns to the nine shore
But this is the fight that the wolf pack actually want to take on this height splice
Look at the line of the tarot search based on his positioning
Anything we can have this
What people work with they have a little scare there with their mosa
He's eventually gonna be a javelin put onto the wall
Grab a good search from a dollop
But there's just nobody there to actually get the damage done. Lobby takes care of the rest
Nancy state
Yeah, yeah, this is kind of a wrap like you said on that fun her mother. Why'd you swap off the issue onto the
My cool
It's a stream log this is the second time I've seen this happen on broadcast, but I have never once pulled that
What is this?
It's over, right?
Got it, man. That's the luck MC State need to finish us off, potentially.
Phone.
Hulk and Aron have the phone time period to set up for this fight,
but instead it'll just be a TP to send a dollar for all.
Yeah, and the kind of which you put Joey through that too,
was he aimed at focusing beam from Oblivion.
He do eventually get spliced, which is kind of the main goal of UT Dallas.
It's just to melt through the Arissa,
accomplish that,
and look for the cleanup,
but Phone overstepped a lot.
I think it was both of them, and Nellis were participating in that elixir, so this is a
lot of scrappers, and I think he wanted it to be for UT Dallas.
They haven't even captured Fortspawms yet.
Yeah, Fortspawms still active, four of the time being.
And you tell Dallas they want to reset it, but they don't have the manpower right now
to push it all the way through.
They're so afraid of this poke.
You have to be.
It's following on hero number three now in the Echo.
I noticed the Symmetra just was not it.
I just want to cut. So, let me rush.
From Nellix lays out this entry point.
Do you run down Bucket Shunko to grab him?
Run him out to the dead.
The command, as Woo Young does, has another title block online.
Shouldn't he need it, but nope.
He's just going to get all the frags himself,
because that is apparently what Woo Young is meant for
in this context, NC State.
They still kept the Forge Bones.
Forge Bones still active, but halfway through now here.
In this one, and Runa Saffi is looking all Wolfpack right now.
You got the title blast still from Bucketsugar?
I'm gonna do a setting on the oblivion and let the oblivionist go crazy.
You-
What? They tried to combo with the Terra Surge last time?
And because there isn't a sound barrier anymore, I do wonder if they do that again.
Yeah.
And, well, bye, Eric.
Well, okay, maybe you don't do a thing.
Just about the assist, that was a javelin on the Eric that Lavi was able to follow up on.
Arissa, I feel like it's a little bit of a sleeper pic.
In a way, at least twice as making it seem like that, with this noticing ultimate that needs to be used by the way.
It is getting sketchier and sketchier for the comments while this goes on.
I just, I guess, continue to push up through.
Dallas walked onto the Sigma trying to just match the poke.
Themselves now are in the comments, but is it a little bit too, a little too late already?
Almost on a hundred meters and there goes F.O.N.D.
Suggers are brutal.
UT Dallas, it's been like a solid minute.
They can't get a team fight together.
how spread out these feelings have been every check mark almost available for
NC State's and the ball of struggling to maintain positioning in front of this
battle cattle eventually will force him back a little bit and NC State it
almost seems like a bait they want to fight in this space where they'll have
the advantage. Fred you say like you have a hundred and twelve meter lead to
work off of there is no stress entering these fights all the
pressure is on U2D to get this series to continue on forward and do some fall on the lynch for now.
It was more of a need to live due to the young, non-exact of the target you wanted to pull from.
Yo, you have to use this tidal black under Dala to keep him up. That mission is successful.
He doesn't have the resource left for himself. Twice is in there. There's the other returning
tidal blast that got significantly more value for the Wolfpack that extracts from him. Dala
Use the tear research to get out of the damage.
Love that from his place.
He'll shut down the Sigma player.
Nancy State, final run here on Roo-to-Soppy.
Final stretch in the victory march for the Wolfpack.
Still the two from Oblivion, more swaps going through.
Doi is on the Zen.
Why not?
One final hook here, but is anybody able to touch?
My phone is on the venture, so he'll at least
be able to stall for a good bit.
And Nancy State, they have no reason to stick around
and take a losing fight.
No, no reason to play into it.
Erich still has the Override Protocol from the comic.
That is the one bright spot of this next fight.
Oh, oblivious, absolutely rocked by Abda.
I was going to make a fun pun that I realized
that Rock is actually just what happened to him.
So let's excited that UT Dallas down their own Rock
Muncher phone and the response company
is to get the B-Lil to then do that over
a protocol for Erich's last hope.
Standing in this fight of blasts, voice,
Send him back, and it seems the comets will keep their heads above water for now.
But I say above water, they're still basically drowning.
They are, yeah, they are borderline collapse right now.
Uh, it is a long trip to go.
Two minutes just under to push here, and they probably got to win what?
Four or five fights in a row?
Like that is, it's a long row to get to the, the squish.
And it must be real stressful right now for Slice.
If we're working down that fight, I just need to switch.
Switch, switch, switch.
In the back, I love that ram's to stay.
Gotta get a stress out before the fight begins.
Again, you see now, still on set.
Here we go.
More of this fight, and you can see they're struggling against the burst damage of oblivion because of it.
Lobby's overclocked.
Adding it to that pain even more.
Okay, never mind.
He is in pain.
Got hit a boulder out of the doll oven.
This is exactly what MC State want.
They don't need to win any more fights.
They just can't lose six in a row.
Yeah.
Easier.
Just that easy.
as we go on to cast a curse it but no one minute remaining here and stay again
final run through this may be a dramatic flex is here for Abdullah maybe the
strength from Joey could be the savior three massive all tier for NC state but
again they're content they don't need to push into that final strength which
is severely defensive favorite they can as vibe out and phone back over to the
sin here to finish out.
Here is swap number 6, I believe, Vell, phone. Endless map alone, and it's a good start for
UT, Dallis, but at least with these accretions, as supplies will get run down. This is great
for UT, Dallis. Only use one ultimate and get it to about the midpoint to reset forward
spawns. Keep the series going, but you're not going to have fun with doing it.
You guys actually have to reset forward spawns too. It's been like three or four times
where they've tried to get up to this point, and spawns are going to get flipped
done over and now they will but here we go five I would think five fights needed
consecutively for the comments to stay alive and force them at five that's not a
good start. I think that might as well stay alive.
Either way the transcendence you didn't want to use.
Oh they see that!
Touch and see state take it at the end but because no fight was there to happen Wolfpack
Take the 3-1, we'll move on through that upper group stage.
Pain. Pain and misery. Even if it was just the slightest of chances.
Yeah, no, that's a rough way to end it if you're Dallas.
I would say there is a decent chance these teams meet again in that lower final.
Obviously, now Dallas will go to play Tammusa in the Group B lower bracket round 1.
And the state now we get to play a st. Claire
For these five into the upper bracket final here
All said done here for on one
Start I suppose we get closer that things might be more of a flip flop
Thank you for NC state though that might be a bit more predictable
you're going into a St. Clair that looks as consistent and confident as ever.
The case of UTD, while they are technically the higher seat heading into that,
Texas A&M San Antonio, a team they have already played four times throughout
this semester, up three and one over the course of those series.
The one that they lost was at their own land, hosted at their facility
where Texas A&M managed to take that away.
So that will be an interesting game to keep tabs on.
It won't be on broadcast, but every determining result in the MLS.
Yeah, it should be a great game down there.
Again, we'll see how the rest of these streams go.
Maybe we sneak down there and get a little sneak peek.
This is another update.
Winther up three, O'Briarcliff.
What we expected.
And right now, Cumberland-Belvies.
That's a 1-1 from what I can tell.
So we'll figure out what our next plan is.
We're going to go to another quick break, everybody.
When we come back, more collegiate overwatch live from Orlando.
You
I
Round number one of the Nays varsity playoffs here for collegiate overwatch is officially
over.
We had four teams moving on in the upper side in their respective groups and then four
teams that are facing elimination going on ahead.
Yeah, we got one of those elimination matches right here being Briarcliff versus Bellevue.
Bellevue did this fall to Cumberland.
We were kind of waiting to see how that one was ending up.
So it was a very good game from what we've been told.
Believe it or not, 3-1 in favor of Cumberland at the end of the day.
So now, Briarcliffe and Bellevue get square off.
One of them will finish out top eight.
Another one will get to live at least for one more series
and play the loser of Cumberland and Winthrump.
Two teams though, who know each other pretty well.
They've kind of been in the same area of conversation
throughout the semester.
It's not so floppy with each other.
It's not crazy.
We kind of went into this previous, this semester,
very high on Bellevue.
They had a fantastic performance in the fall,
nice, open and varsity brackets,
but ended up losing to Breyercliff of all teams.
We questioned if they would even still be a top 20 school
after some roster changes,
Mari moving over to a different school,
Amity coming into this roster,
along with a couple other players returning,
but have absolutely blown it out of the water.
And yeah, they have that win over their head and it remains to be that Bellevue are either one of the best teams out there
Or they can lose to top 20 top 25 a team depending on the day
Now we need to take a look at the roster plenty of names from calling all heroes from other collegiate rosters and face
It alike always happy to see these people's faces. Oh, yeah plenty of familiar faces
Have you been around the scene of for a while?
And we talked about Hudson regime earlier again one of the most you know fun to watch support duos that we have and
Collegiate stone is the kind of the one I'm kind of putting a question mark on right now
We talked about this earlier played a lot of the data for this team this semester
And now that has kind of fallen to the wayside
Where is stone really gonna end up in all of these comps walks that we've been seeing with ivory whatever hits
Can you put them on it doesn't really matter? He's gonna do they're do unbelievable
So I'm excited to see what Bellevue can do.
And on the other side of the coin, we got Briarcliff.
It's like you said, Mari left the team,
joined a different school, lots of changes overall.
Amity was playing DPS for a lot of this semester,
but today is now playing tank, so which is actually her normal role.
So there's a lot of changes going on with this team right now.
but in watching World Cup as well,
so familiar faces in LCS and WedTube.
Yeah, and this roster alone is just strange.
And the reason I say strange is it's actually very normal,
but the roster they had before was even stranger,
but they were doing so well that it felt normal.
It was Bobby Sobby on the tank
for the majority of the semester,
and Amity took over the role of the Vendetta.
She was so good at it, despite being a tank main,
has really been making a name for herself,
especially in calling all heroes,
reaching some new heights there. So now that she's walked back over to that role,
you have LCS and WebTube who are both new to the team this semester as well,
Juven the only returner out of everybody, and then you have catch, and there's massive
question marks on catch. New player fault for us, which is crazy for it to think
about at this point in the season, is kind of listed as a flex player, so
we're not entirely sure what to expect from him as we head into this game.
It's like he's been on the roster all semester long. He's played here and there
I think something about support when there's a lot of World Cup tryouts for several members of this support for
Briarcliffe, you know wedtube, LCS, even Benji is on this team as well from team Costa Rica
So again a lot of international prowess, but he's played here and there but not really on DPS
So definitely some changes here for Briarcliffe and you're really not going to get a great idea
where you're actually at when you play win throughout the scene that they're the favorites this tournament
It was kind of the they expected a result
So now what it once you're against a team that's kind of closer to where you're at
I think what number
eight and ten in the ochre rankings right now
nine for
Briarcliffe actually
And belfry's actually a little bit above that now they are at seven okay, so they're they've moved up in the last ranking
but even that considered, I feel like this could go either way. Depending on what version
of Bellevue we get, and notice I'm specifically saying Bellevue, because again, so inconsistent
in either the best or worst way possible, but it is also kind of the one of the last
roster for this team, especially Avery, been around this scene for forever. This is their
last events that they'll have in person, but plenty of LAN experience behind this roster
is something I want to highlight. I have won a local collegiate LAN three years in
I want to say now, whereas for Briarcliff, this is the first land for most of their players.
Yeah, this is the first time around for a lot of these players and this type of environment sometimes
It can be a lot, right? It can be a lot to get used to
Having to play in this type of style and these things that you just played about a month and a half ago in a different tournaments
In a grand final and a very much like a maker break game, Briarcliff swept
So that's where like even though Briarcliff are the 8c technically going into this I wouldn't necessarily say it's like
Oh, man, now he's gonna run away with this
I don't know if that's really the case because even earlier this season it was a Briarcliff 3-1
But granted regime was not playing in that one which that gives Bellevue a very different look in my opinion
So let's see if Bellevue can expel the demons. I can't believe it's weird to say that as you know
them as the five seed, but they have some work to do here if they want to find that potential rematch against Cumberland or
Cumberland get the the upset over Winthrop then maybe you face the number one seed in that lower bracket final
Barcliffe the one team that has had their number all
Mr. Despite being the seventh right best team ranked in North America
Currently
But before we get in I want to talk a little bit about one of our partners for the NAIS Grand Finals in GG
proud to support NACE at the Grand Finals,
supporting some of the best collegiate
eSports programs in the country.
Pine every team is the right infrastructure.
That is where they come in from player
management to secure labs to tournament
operations and remote support.
GG circuit powers the infrastructure
behind every match, every scrim,
and every championship moment.
You simplify the technology so
schools can focus on what matters most.
Let the coaches coach players compete
and they'll take care of the rest.
So if you are building or scaling
your eSports program,
sports program. Make sure to connect with them. Gigi Circuit is ready when you are,
really does take a lot of support to put on events of the scale. You're getting a
peek into the live venue here at Full Sail University, what, at least 60 PCs
set up just for the Overwatch side alone, which is incredible to think about for
just the sheer scale of something like this. Yeah, so many teams here just
agon everywhere and a lot of these schools have not just brought an
Overwatch team but they brought teams for other titles here as well and it's
just been great so far and yeah we're gonna go actually quick to break as we
have a little bit of maybe a tech issue getting everybody set back up here it
was a pretty quick turnaround for Bellevue to go from their first series to
this one so we'll be right back everybody with map one of Bellevue
versus Briarcliffe
you're ready to set off for our second round of the mason's
varsity playoffs here at FullSnow University, Bellevue University and
Briarcliffe University are fighting for their lives here in the lower section.
One faces elimination, the other has the chance to move on and what could
turn out to be a flip-flop of a game but match at Briarcliffe has had the
upper hand for the entirety of the semester. Yeah, they've just for
whatever reason have been Bellevue's kryptonite. At some point the Bruins
got to expel it or they're going home pretty early for their standards and I
think we finally got some map picks and bands for you guys ready to go here in
map one and yeah we could see I think Bellevue gets map pick because there's
still time at the higher seed. Which is so strange how that works considering
Briarcliff not only beat them in the regular season and just how the bracket
ended up being seeded so Briarcliff the eighth seed Bellevue I believe at
number five. MattPick is in and we'll be there again. LijongTower just started off
surprise, surprise. We're at two for two on the technical first MattPicks we've
had on broadcast. I cannot remember what it was in that UTD NC State series. For now
we will take the two for two out of Bellevue. Oh, I got baited. See the
production wanted it to be LijongTower so badly that they threw it up
I don't know our producer was so biased.
That's crazy.
We can see map pool here for this entire weekend for Varsity
and as well the open final tomorrow.
A lot of poke, a lot of dive, not a ton of brawl.
Which honestly, I'm okay with.
We've had a lot of in-depth brawl over the last few months.
Even though we say that, we still saw Zarya comes
basically the entirety of the first series today.
But it's at least a pretty diverse map set
But it's at least a pretty diverse map set that we got here for the Overwatch Colleges Championships here at full-sale in Orlando, Florida
By the way, again, if you're here, you're out in the Florida area
It's free to visit, free to come in, watch these teams. You got everybody got pro, rack attacks here
Shout out rack attack
We're gonna see all these fans just falling rack attack around the venue now. You just shouted them out. What's up with that?
Yeah, man, I don't know man. We're actually getting a little bit of a sneak peek
We're watching the St. Clair Cumberland game through the St. Clair...
It's Lee Jong Tower!
They are on...
Lee Jong Tower.
Yes, they are.
I thought it was almost Nepal for a second, but that's not.
I also thought that because maybe it's the Shrine.
I thought it was Village for a second.
You thought it was Village.
Where did you get the Village from?
I thought it was the side room of Village, like the Mega Room.
What?
Okay, I don't know what you're saying.
We are seeing two different things right now.
I'm seeing very...
Yeah, I'm leaning out of this.
So, at least we know we're not getting Lee Jong Tower for this game,
So it will be either Busan. Oh my god
We're watching who's this noxious not just cumberland. Yeah, we're playing fray out cumberland at 99 to something
It looks like cumberland's about to win this round. Wow. Wow. Look at that
That would be one heck of an upset fun fact about this. We got to talk to cumberland a little bit
Shout out shout out silent who is their manager and also my coach for my team that I play on
Give us a little bit of insight proudest achievement for cumberland the entire semester was beating st. Clair back
in the open Swiss stage for the NAICS open bracket, well not bracket, Swiss stage. You get the point,
that was their biggest achievement, they're currently up 1-0, only showing towers. Okay,
one step closer to getting that going and hopefully one step closer to getting the series going.
Yeah, we're still waiting on, I think, let's see if we have enough to here, I think Briar
Cliffs still getting set up at this current moment, but we'll see here on where we're
we're going to be going next we have for that we couldn't even you know let's
keep camera peaking I guess we'll kind of watch St. Clair Cumberland through the
eyes of obnoxious this is overwatch collegiate cc we're like zooming in
we're stalking people but hey if you like stalking people I'm not actually
working with phrase that if you like watching I believe the overwatch and
all the other fantastic overwatch e-sports things that are going on make
sure to give at the overwatch e-sports channels a follow to stay
updated on all of that action because there's a ton that goes on here outside of collegiate
course or a little bias. That may be our favorite little but you also okay well you also can get
yourself some drops. There are so many cool things you have an overwatch collegiate banner,
couple of sprays, two overwatch eSports loot boxes just saying make sure you got your
battle net accounts attached to your twitch if you want to have those by the end of the
stream is we got all action all day today still three more series after this
Bell the Ubraircliff game plus tomorrow we will have the grand finals for our
nice open brackets and nice varsity so two best of sevens back-to-back yeah we
go it's a lot overwatch guys you know I know sometimes I see people complain in
chat but hey we don't have enough time for these drops and I get if you're a
West coaster I will say it's a little bit of rough of a wake-up time you
wake up you turn on the stream maybe take a quick nap then come back we you got
plenty of time to get all your drops this weekend if you hang out with us
that's all I gotta say we do have our map I believe now for Briar could and
tell me and it's still a tower all right unless I guess I don't think that's
bait no it is that we're actually going to lose our tower for real so
two for two and it'll be far a band from Bellevue I think it's gonna be
very common to see far and also Lucio bands on this particular map.
They're two of their strongest points like the speed on these control areas.
But you also like the farra just because there's so much aerial potential.
Lots of places you can play safe, especially on night market and garden.
So I'll be Bellevue actually taking that one away from a potential
firecliff pick again, massive question mark on firecliff today.
They have won every single match up between these two teams.
I think it's up one this year.
But that was on a different roster with different roles and the back on her main with the tank. We have
Somebody new coming in on the DPS for the first time and catch. Yep, and
Wed tube and LCS will be returning to the roster so so much shuffling going on with this briar cliff roster
You would think that it's going to affect the core synergy
But we also thought that at the beginning of the semester when Briarcliffe completely redid their team
Yeah, so it's it's gonna be interesting even though. Oh, you know me wed-tube and else. Yes
They don't really have a lot of synergy, but they're actually a team Chile together
Yep, because the fact that wed-tube Costa Rica did not make it out of conference cups
They actually the breakthrough player for Chile is wed-tube
So they're actually getting a lot of play time with team Chile also here
I've seen with broccoli they've had plenty of time to play
And you know if things get a little bit sticky Benji's still here on the bench ready to go
So obviously a lot of options here for Braco. I lose you a band definitely made me a little point it as well to regime
Like I think you have to they're an absolute demon on the lucio especially when boops are involved
So eliminating at least one of those factors can be a pretty big help here well
Yeah, yeah, that's I think they want to do more of this
Because if we don't have Alusio, I feel like that's where a lot of teams have been more willing to go.
Yeah.
Especially like Bardens. I think Jetpack Cat is fantastic there.
Oh, if you're able to get that working.
Got a little bit of Jetpack Cat Bastion from Temusa earlier today.
Works for about a fight.
Um...
Yeah, that's about it.
So...
I appreciate the attempt. It was fun to watch.
We may get it more.
I know there are certain teams that are at the higher end of our tournament
that have pulled us that they're considering playing it.
I'm not gonna say who, I'm just not giving away any strategies,
but we know that the Inkling is there,
Korean OWCS definitely planting that seed.
Yeah, thanks, Korea, for changing the meta once again.
But here we go.
And I got a lot of questions about Briar Cliff right now.
I'm not even, I don't know, actually, this is different.
LCS is on DPS, and Benji is there.
Patch is not playing right now.
So LCS is on a Reaper and then it's Benji Web with Benji Web again that's also a support line that works really well that I'm not worried about whatsoever.
It's arresting here. Okay.
Okay, well here's what I'm gonna say is that Reaper if you're going to Rollslaw there's not much mechanical things you need.
It's more positioning and being in the right place at the right time. LCS? Great.
Already there. What did it know? That was a support player.
on a roll swap at this point in time.
And she's a firecliff, wants to lean to the Abbey Malga.
It's one of her picks that as much as I hate to say it
about a Malga, has been strong that she can synergize
with her team.
We're gonna out for firecliff, listen to this first fight.
Yeah, Brackleth cap first.
Bill is duvin', but it's not like that's really,
going to be too big of an issue.
Avery is going to have some trouble with,
Maga kinda eats Erisa for breakfast,
but right now, I'm actually not worried about Erisa.
Jumping on this Kiriko Stone!
Yeah, Ivory, oh my god!
You've heard of that, how far you've gone!
Is it the mid-heart of the Ivory though?
And leave Benji and Wedd as like free foods for Stone.
If you've got college students, free foods like the magic word.
Stone is feasting!
And I'll be the flip-over for Bellevue.
She was a good start with the play.
Just couldn't get the closer.
Yeah, couldn't turn around in time to even contest.
And obviously, when both of your sports die, first,
Usually a great sign that you're going to win that fight
Franklin will stick to it for now. So, you know, I raise also got rain over both times
So far a little bit of revenge now as a nice little alternate shot locks on to the head of shooting
You welcome
to see that. The tracer probably might see the vendetta today but not so far because this
pick has been working out really well.
Yeah, working out great. And now that Velbius kind of settled in. It's a little bit more
tricky for this Magikomp to actually find that space.
What? Okay.
Hmm, I'll say that.
So you just reset the ult charge?
Yep.
Okay.
Huh.
Why don't you just get the-
Landjitter is everybody. It's all right.
Okay, happens the best of us.
Now, this sneakier from Stone has the pulse bomb.
Not a chance to show that's going.
Ended up in a different zip code from WED.
Tap on his pulse bomb, not to worry about Ivory.
To cover your back, there's a trade between these soldiers.
And the two get so far behind me on this overclock
because it's swapped.
The terrorists are now from Ivory,
lost the Katsune rush.
So many things that are happening,
but Amity wants to have the final word.
Cage fight is effective on everybody,
Except for a fortified Arissa, found that when out of the hard way,
Khajiite gets negative value.
Ivor Ritz, Jeeven's head off, has gone from bad to worse,
but Briar Clef needs something to turn it around,
a nice shield bash on the Ivorid plus LCS will make that happen.
But it is 99% now for the Baruid.
Jeeven wants to turn this?
Not sure if I agree, but the titleblast commitment but the C9
is enough for this to stop.
That was Briarcliffe's fight.
What happened?
So much happened and yet nothing happened.
Jesse, full on head and hands right now for those who cannot see.
That was... that was a bad one!
I'm not gonna lie.
Is that two today already?
We did, but in Pelfius defense, they were probably winning that round anyway.
Oh, yeah, the ultimate economy was, but...
That's just not the way you wanted it to go, if you're Brian Cliff.
No, not the way you really want to end that row.
Yeah, we've had two C9s in fights or games slash rounds that weren't winnable anymore.
anymore. So it makes it feel at least not as bad. But 2C9's regardless. Raricliff now
makes some changes as we head into Night Market. Amity gives up on the mage and
onto the Zarya, which again another great counter to Avery, but seems like Avery
hasn't really cared that much about the take counters. Just kind of playing
around and running over the rest of the chargers.
And they're just doing, I think having regime on this Muillon hasn't helped, we're sure that shit damaged.
They love playing this Muillon with a fascist, not as much as Lucio actually might have to ask him.
We'll have to ask them when they respond, because LCX managed to hunt down the support lurking in the backline.
Viral Clip is very fast to get to that point, just because he had that ring from the Zed to get through there first.
And you can start to turn it around. Yeah, really rough.
First round, I think things two and five compared to the rest of the team was the only one that was negative.
So a bit rough. Do have a pause in order. That might be a bit rougher.
From Bellevue. So something on the Bruins end, not cooperating very well.
And hopefully we'll get that all figured out here in just a little bit of time.
But a good start actually for Bellevue after that.
That first fact to my man, that's a little rough.
The Moga is kind of just doing Moggin things and not a whole lot you can really do about
it, but the Bruins able to capitalize late on and we get a little bit of another sneak
peek here at St. Clair Cumberland.
What's that all say?
This is the great thing about laying and having a camera like this.
We just get the eavesdrop.
This is great.
They're still laying on towers.
It's got to be 1-1.
Yeah, it's got to be 1-1.
There we go.
Things we wouldn't know without our fabulous venue cam, which has done us much good
Keeps this interesting. I made the thing of like the split-screen watch like some weird video game that's satisfying. Whatever
What
You know, I got the shorts
You're just it was a new gen thing am I too old
Yes, and I'll answer that answer. Yes, anyway, so didn't matter if I
I'm sorry, you set yourself up for that one.
I did a little bit, yeah.
But I do like the way Bovi's kind of approached us so far.
Okay, we're not going to allow them to find a time to set up and rush in, going to force
them to kind of play around a little bit more.
Granted, LCS is becoming more of an issue than I thought, considering, you know, well,
Granted, Fletch supports have incredible aid.
So it wasn't that that I was worried about.
It's just, yeah, sometimes the positioning is going to be a little bit different.
so far, LCS doing a great job. Playing out is not ideal role.
And on the competition, a little bit different now, that is very reliant on follow-up and small timings.
So the fact that LCS is done as well as he has is impressive. Every did swap over to the Zarya to match now.
They're setting this people to the backline. You get the TP and Suzu out of potch.
I would say it's great if you kept LCS alive.
So prior clips, now down that main source of frontline damage.
Now that's a juke, see if there's anything you can get done in every tank and next on the chopping blocks.
That will be just to bell- It is ivory and there's a fire away.
And very similar to round 1, about that 30 to 40% mark.
Ryar, Cliff will yield, Bellview will start their push and now, if you're a Chargers fan, you want to make sure that this lead holds strong.
Almost like a different Chargers team that can't hold a lead either.
That's a little bit of a shot.
But here we go, already just pushing through coast and Bellevue have to rotate early, but his pulse is still going to be juicy.
It doesn't hit, but the turret he's going for is dead anyway, so that works out well for Bellevue.
But I think it's kind of an unfortunate provider clip. You wanted to go in with this orbital ray, you don't necessarily have the damage to keep it up.
You just commit a lot more than you wanted, and in fact that's two or three now that have been popping, ivory, popping, popping in.
Puppet ends and continues the one of LCS, Graviton, Surge out from Ivory, never saw Amity throw hers.
We'll just be our ruins and continue to capture them.
And that lead is gone.
Bellevue now reached the halfway mark. We're granted a very expensive fight from Bellevue.
Four ultimates gone. Just the Ivory overclock remaining.
But you know what's going on here last year? You know how one overclock from Ivory can change up an entire series.
And let's see if it happens right here
And now it's just your own overclocking, Juden. Who's that a rough map so far? Great, that almost catches Ivory.
Maybe sticking a little bit too long in that off angle, but now Juven pops the overglock when everybody retreats for Belvies
Nobody wants to smoke
Over to the social glare that are death volition
It isn't the skill feed, but his Bellevue who are on top stone
Uncontested on a tracer against the stick on the Juven
Even if he ended giving his life for it
Erykah passed this, he was over, but isn't this in Super Sable?
I agree, he wants to go in and fight this further, and that he has more support with Benji returning on the JetPap Cat.
Perhaps now the Pruin sends danger in order to back up.
Yeah, they at least have another fight to go after this, especially if he pulls out the Cat to make sure he is here in time.
And now, maybe not the most ideal support comp for this last fight.
But granted, you have the Overdome Rage, so that kinda cancel out, right?
Hey, there we go.
The company is now in a super early for prior cliff.
Dead destabilization, both support ults at Velvew.
Let's get out of Avery. Bunches.
Now, plenty of charts go in.
Anagraff is on the search for Damae who launches hers first.
The healing wave coming in from her sheath
keeps everyone at least alive for the time being.
And the return graph from Avery is a massive three players locked up in a group hug.
Velvew, looking to get the clip.
But there's Joven finally coming alive, but this time on the tracer house, they'll be the one to get the touch, they'll grab it, but explode before recall can be pressed.
The Bruins would be controlled here, vignesh out, Nishong tower, a couple of sacrapics from Briarcliff, Jetpack, Khad, Doomfist.
Back there it gets the flight, but none of them can take out a fully charged Zarya that is Avery with bubbles remaining.
Meaning Bellevue wants to get this revenge on Briarcliff and it seems they're going to start that way at least with map number one in this second round.
Bellevue take their map pick and a 2-0 over Briarcliff and now the power goes over to the Chargers and what they would like to do next.
And Hutch, the main man here, un-flexed support for Bellevue.
And I would say seeing his growth over the last year,
sometimes when students transfer, it can be a mixed bag, right?
Sometimes it's a little bit of a regression.
You have to learn how to work with some other players.
Because he was so insane on Blin.
Bigger is why they made like a top 12 push there for a while.
And then it feels like he's continued to improve here
on the Selju team.
It helps that his performance is invasive as well.
But it's been a great season for him overall.
Yeah, there is just nothing Briarcliff could do against the Avery, Zarya, and now we can see what the band will be for the rest of the series.
I'm gonna get a Zarya band probably on the horizon here from Briarcliff.
I don't know. I feel like it's something that if you're going to keep LCS on Reaper, you kind of want to play that.
I don't know what else I'm supposed to play though, so it does depend on that factor.
I think if you're prior cliff though, your biggest concern honestly should be ivory. Yeah
Reson's from a sojourn should not be happening
I don't know if it's just Juven kind of getting back into the rhythm again after a bit of an extended break or what that was
But it was an uncharacteristically poor performance
I think compared to what we've seen in the past looked a lot better on the tracer
I think at the end but going on ahead being that kind of hitscan player presumably again
Don't know what else his hero pool is on DPS
since that's not usually his jam.
I like to see Juven start to step up a little bit more to match that.
And I think there's a lot of things that Briarcliffe can do to support it,
whether it is through the bands, keeping on the Zarya,
or maybe swapping over to the Diva, something else Amity can play as well.
I think it's just getting again, getting the jitters out.
It feels like they didn't really get a warm up again.
You just kind of get beaten around by Winthrop in that first game.
So now they have to get away against a team that's similar.
We got another we are three for three
Again, games that we've seen with Blizzard World being the hybrid pink, um, I get more
dive, not, I really don't expect either of these games to play that much poke, so that
kind of is par for the course.
Avery can pull out, like a Sigma or a Domino, we've seen it a few times, but not, you
know, their favorite character to go with, so it'll be the Kiriko Bandit, we were
talking about it, uh, Hatch needs to relax, according to Brackliff, and they honestly
weren't running it a ton anyways, so I think that's a fine choice.
I just don't want to play Lucille Curico. They bad Lucille map one not the Curico map two
And I don't blame them. I like seeing variety in support comps
Although this may be the only variety that we have left on the Bellevue side to take a similar route
So that doesn't open the door for some other things like
In Yardee jetpack cat if you really wanted to do it honor
We saw have a very good performance from Eve on to Musa in our previous series
but for the time being Briarcliffe want to
break the meta, break out a support jail, as you could say, which LCS has done on a completely different level.
Yeah, just a little bit. Catches now in. So catches now on DPS. Winston will be the ban in response from Bellevue.
Not really a hero that is played very much by Avery. So that, I think, makes total sense.
Amity yes, you can pull out so take a factor. Maybe not the factor
But we are on a little bit of a pause here, but you know a great time for us to shout out
Raven once again special thanks to our partners that raven gg
Raven is the official merchandise partner of nice and the premier platform for creating your dream custom gear
Whether you're outfitting a team or building a brand Raven give schools everything they need to do their best
Visit raven.gg to start creating today the official merchandise provider of
Naze. You can see them all back there on the screen. Let's say we're getting a little bit of sneaky. Yeah, I think it's Esperanza. No, that's
That is Rialto. That's Rialto. I'm blind
But the
Fun part about this is we also get to play Jersey I spy
I see all the stuff that I can do.
If somebody can spot Briarcliff, I'd be very impressed.
I don't exactly know where they're sitting.
I have a great glare on my screen from the lights,
like right over where I'm sitting.
Hi, guys, we've got Cumberland sitting here.
We got, I think that's some Call of Duty games
also being played behind.
Etsy Stater at that far table.
Getting their game right now with St. Clair.
Also, shout out to the guy that's in the suit.
Yeah, look at Nancy.
In Orlando.
It's in Orlando.
It's hot today.
It is.
Hot.
It's close to 90 degrees and we're from the Midwest.
That's real awesome.
But it's so soon.
Shout out to that guy.
That's professionalism right there.
They've been an extra dapper, I don't know.
But yeah, NACE Grand Finals have been,
often a great start.
It's been, what, three hours?
Since our, no, not three hours.
Two and a half hours.
I can read a clock.
Since we have started out today.
Look at this.
It feels like our pause has gone away.
Billy Batting the Winston is kind of
Amity's preferred dive tank, if I remember correctly.
She is more of a traditional main tank player.
So taking that away, I think just solidifies the D.Va.
She can also do it.
We've seen it.
I'm not too worried about it.
Avery though, certainly happy with that match.
Unless you're again, gonna be a little bit of a curve ball
and pull a Domina, which highly doubt
at this point in the season.
Yeah, I don't think we're gonna see the Domina much,
if at all, but yeah, you never know.
And if you're wondering,
Hey, what's the status on the other games?
Uh, as of now, nothing.
Uh, everything is at least either not reported or...
Uh, nothing like that, so...
We will update you when we can, but we have nothing.
Right now, I went to Cumberland in the Group A upper-final,
and then I was at St. Clair NC State in the Group B upper-final,
Timoosa and UT Dallas in the lower elimination game for Group B.
As you're still waiting to get in here policy. Yeah, we got games. I'll tell everybody we're we've already been here for what about two two and a half hours
I'd say we're probably here for another
five
Choosing my next number is wisely. Don't don't jinx it because you're gonna say like three
No
I know it's not great
What is money at 9 p.m. To get to a drop so again make sure you are following overwatch e-sports channels
So you too can get your hands on those and connect your twitch couch to your badminton that that's probably the more important part
But not really we'd like to
So much cool stuff that's going on at several of our collegiate players also compete in other
Areas and another thing that I love to say about this collegiate overwatch in North America
Is it just the best looking at the best collegiate?
We're looking at the best in the region, which is a truly incredible turnaround for this team
So do you have a quick issue that will be solved within the like the next 30 seconds as we are getting
Maybe a little you know we talked about a little bit of screen peeking earlier
But like some actual screen peeking from the coaches, but like hey, we shouldn't be
Actually, I'm watching the other team so that'll be a very quick fix here
Before we get loaded in to Blizzard world from map to this series
I can make sure you got all your drops connect to make sure you got on twitch your battle net or steam whatever you like to use
To launch overwatch make sure that's all connected ready to go
So you get all sprays the banners the loop box drops and that's what you get by the way
I'm always curious what people get on the loop box drops. I'll say as a former Boston uprising fan
I've got two NYXL skins. I don't know if I have been
I feel like I'm getting hated on by the system
I had to go to Eastbrook's boxes, actually.
I don't like that.
I was like pretty nice.
I got like the prideful LA Valiant skin, like the red heart, but I don't play red hearts,
so it's kind of like...
It feels like nobody does right now.
I mean some people certainly try.
Well at top, I should say.
Yeah.
Well, okay, no, no, no.
There was a...
Who played it?
Dallas Fuel?
Kellen?
Yes.
That one played it.
On Atlas.
Yeah.
I remember watching that and I'm like, it was a cool day, but then we had not
seen the guy since.
He is back to his dungeon for now, which we will be getting back into in any second.
I'm assuming because our overlay went away.
Oh my gosh, I'm brilliant.
I knew that was going to happen.
It will be Bellevue on the attack, Briarcliff on the defense.
LCS is back on support.
So catch coming in just means there's a little bit of a swap around there.
Double flex on a Yari.
That is a new one.
I don't mind it, though.
I don't mind it either.
I really don't mind it.
It's a lot of poke damage and for the diva to kind of run around
and how to play, you know, anti-dive or finish up some of these kills with Juven.
I think you can work out really well, especially here on this first phase.
Bellevue still kind of mellowed it up.
Stone will go over to the tracer after this TP.
I don't think I'll have to do something else, I'm not staying on this.
Maybe just like an opening volley.
Maybe I don't think there's like an angle that I just don't know about.
Oh, they're doing a teleporter with the volley in the widow TP. Nobody is peeking, so...
As we say that, almost, it has taken off.
Ivor's actually just stick up Widowmaker.
He's walked pretty far away from the teleporter for now, and Ketch wasn't quite ready for it.
No. Thinking that the widow was maybe gone at that point, not necessarily.
The case in Battleforce Bracka played a very safe position,
and it's worked out so far. Hutch kind of baits themselves out.
And LCS is able to win the duel.
Yeah, you can't take too much poke here between having an honor, yardi, and catch on this M-Ray.
That's a lot of damage you can take by just peeking your head around the corner for 0.5 seconds.
Aggregom will now be able to fire back a bit more, being on the surface.
Yeah, more consistency and they get a little bit easier.
But a little bit more pressure onto Amity as well.
Team also making a swap onto the break to maybe help deal with amity and you can help assist some of these
Gages with stones and armor pack
But right now you've kind of started to get any sort of positioning going
No plans here he was banned and I'll be played here. I'll see us taking advantage that for sir
sleep on the Avery's
Okay, you're a tank, you're not going to take too much damage from that, no ultimates,
I mean it's a couple that are close, nothing that will be online in the immediate future.
Bellevue, you're okay with that, part of running the Zarya, you can just send the point and it will test you,
and if it tries well, she lost her met, Bellevue, you're quickly, definitely not the rest of the pieces after.
You don't have a tank, but this shouldn't be a recon test from the Chargers that you're worried about.
They're a little bit of a firefight here by point, but it's not like it'll matter very much.
Bellevue, they want a cap, now is committed.
What?
They want to get this high ground.
They want the high ground.
Yeah.
I think this is a worthy commitment.
It is one of the most impressive places to get, and you actually ended up getting
for cheap, which I'm surprised that that got anything at all, considering the misjudication
of Bellevue.
And the enemy finds Ivory, who tried to retreat all the way back and didn't end
up working out.
Briar Clip. Well basically this continues. This, uh, A point older, but just now playing
around with the card that's already there rather than B point itself.
I would say it's a worthy investment, but then I look at Velvia, they have Fly Vaults
and LCS. Uh, got a nice little party kit from Stone and a Pulse Bomb, and in fact he's
still going! Grab catch as well. High ground is cleared. They'll just push apart while
everybody else on Briar Clip is either going to get staggered out or, uh, potentially
Worse, and at the end of this, so...
The fact that we need to pull forward and do that, Jesse, is ridiculous, considering what Baraklip did to get there.
Yeah, considering, yeah, the investment from Baraklip and the answer to the next fight to break through it.
A little bit rough from the Chargers, but Baraklip's still in a good spot here to hold.
Onto that top high ground, once that just gets set up, Bellevue's doing a great job of taking complete control of the high ground.
Ooh, Graviton Sword's also went in the back, like, denies the Captain of the Sun entirely!
And I'll just win the fight outright for Belle.
Do you ever assist from Regime on Brig?
Just to make sure that everything goes safe and sound.
Briar Cliff, I've gotten no value, and any of their ultimates that we've seen just now.
Not really. Just the one-woman issues with the override protocol on a point that was already done.
Uh, so a little bit wrong.
So far, Jarvis on their back paper.
Still should have another chance here to hold.
Welcome to the battle.
What was that, Ivory?
Both over the edge, and somebody else just hit behind the cover.
Wasn't safe at all, and even time's up perfectly with this slide.
I mean, get Ivory's on another level.
Point is capped.
Four minutes to go, and is there even anything the Barcliffe could do to stop the Sojourn?
And what do you think is the single swap?
Yeah, trying to play a little more around the poker rather than trying to run it down against Avery.
Oh!
Well, never mind. They're gonna run it down just a little bit differently.
And he goes over to the Ramatra.
Four-third phase, he wants to run his vortex as well for her to pull Avery back to Earth.
Yeah, he's got a need for that.
And Avery's got so much things for Avery to work with, which is very scary considering their caliber of performance today.
So he had now to boost onto Amity with the extra perk for the speed.
That is very threatening Remontra to look at.
She's gonna back off. She doesn't want to risk giving up her life.
You already got stone. That's enough for now.
Yeah, that's enough, but it will be a pretty quick swing back out from Belby.
They don't ultimately really play around with this.
Maybe just trying to force out the Pulse here from Juven.
Who else wants to get to answer the one we want against stone?
Maybe just Tracer's doing Tracer things.
That was a bluff.
Yeah, I'm not sure where that was exactly.
There was a plan, maybe a little bit of a boink mist fire. Journey down taxion, Briarcliff not having any DTS.
And I'm just going to get rid of the possibilities for them to make this one work.
So, Goldstein and Amity, back over to where Wett and LCS are. They can take a full flight.
Melby, don't want that to happen. Look how far up Avery is pushing.
Yeah, Avery. Very far forward. They didn't want any sort of decent recent test out of this,
especially with the rally now from Rzeem. You know, that's not the end of the wall.
He just had to make sure that the gun works. Now that you know that it works, you can start firing some rounds.
I won't get in the healings though. We'll, in fact, be the sight ambassador.
You know what you make that work? But the grab tool will wall, lift bar clips, new horizons before paring them.
Six feet under, fantastic play. Out of Avery, just do it.
Avery and Avery lighten it up today for the Bellevue Bruins. They get the full cap, two minutes, 12 seconds to spare.
an excellent attack for Bellevue here on Blizzard World and the map pick from
Briarcliffe not yielding the results so far that they would have a light.
It would get a little bit of a check here at the scoreboard and that's just
wow catch somehow yes catch is actually top for Bellevue so it's not like made
too much of a learning curve in this series but you look at everybody
somehow hutch of all players is lowest on the elim count it doesn't really feel
correct if you know hutch in his play style well enough but no this has just
been kind of a roll from Bellevue so far once they get going in these fights
feel like there is no answer yet from Briarcliff and maybe now on their
attack they will be able to find it.
What the cards flipping this is a Briarcliff map pick mind you and the
So far it's looking nothing but ruins.
As a side switch, no changes for the Bellevue composition.
It's keeping with this Brig Junot working out for them.
Still has the same element of speed to get Avery in and out.
And again, Avery finding a way to shut them down.
It needs to be on the priority list for Briarcliffs.
They're going to switch themselves up.
Looks like Amity wants to stick on the Romantra for now.
Do you see Juvenile on the Sim? So it could just be a TP, see what's being played in 12.
Yeah, that's my guess.
Could a little TP, there we go.
Similar with a shoppa, a little bit of a grapple.
From catch, no dice, and a TP back, and now we get to see what the actual team comp will be.
And it'll be our turn to normal.
Juvenile and the Tracer catch on the M-Rae.
So pretty much what they ran on the defense, hoping it's a little bit of a better fortune here on attack.
Almost a mere matchup too with the exception of Ivory, that hits guys and it takes!
Stone already getting red, leaves us off to a rough start for them, you can see that speedering just shows down how many.
And that's the problem with the Remontra, you don't have great peel for somebody like Stone.
It needs to be on Juven to watch where this tracer is lurking.
Yeah, you need to be marking Stone 24-7.
And I started to get in this series, I was a little worried about Stone, that worry's gone.
It's been gone for a while. Stone's playing extremely well so far in this series and yeah, it's gonna be up
LCS has to be trying to mark them especially considering there is no cast city or anything to play around it
It is definitely an awkward spot, but an interest we thought at some point
Now to the attack for Briar Cleves. It's a great vortex horses
I think two bubbles almost on the hybrid air and you gotta have to know that the focus point has to be
Onto them and force them out of position. That's where the health bar is at stone also keeping in check
Or rather kept in check
I do then a little bit more as we're looking out these tracer 1v1s a fire clip now firmly set up on the point
I made sure that with the nemesis form should get about two ticks here before Bellevue
you eventually go in to re-engage.
Close to a pulled bomb is Juven,
and you're really gonna want that,
especially if you're gonna light it up.
But instead, Ibré, who wins the race to the overclock,
looking for the shot, everybody doing their best
to hide away from the soldier who's been such a threat.
So if pulled bomb goes wide,
Juven doesn't need any opportunity to use his own.
Belvie, who stabilized enough for catch to over,
extend Ibré to shut down the tracer.
Now he'll do it for his first half.
This left all alone and has to jump off and I think, um, nope, nope, nope, nope, a little
bit.
Yeah, so Bracklift, back to the drawing board, grab two ticks off that push, it's not like
it was a worthless push, but still, hey, you get two ticks, you have three ultimates
soon before with that orbital ray.
You would do at least half the resources now if you finish the job and get going
with the table portion of this map.
Yeah, it's a much better situation, but I still worry two of the best all-censors belt row in that
Yeah, I don't think you can find that in one place. I ideal world you force this out and take another drives like, you know
Ryder's left side they want to commit here in every ever so patient on this gravatron surge wants to wait till they're in a position to fight
But it is too little too late and he's already in there
where Juven found his way to the red line, and the grab is null and void, or really is
it?
It's this override protocol forced out of cash, has no help creating, basically, but it's enough
to buy time, and Juven can come in, sweep up the broken pieces of Bellevue, and perhaps
put Pryorcliff back on a horse in this race.
There's still so much chaos happening, I'm just having to come back, cause the jetpack
cat's a taxi, they're in this fight, they still think it's winnable, and they're
willing to commit to an amity as a turned human is still flying away we're
seeing that come back all of this player and it could not have come at a better
time for prior cliff they're gonna sneak away with the first point keep
themselves afloat therefore the why not throw some bodies on the point draw
even more time time is your best friend if you are filming but a great
little plus there nice stick but of course it's out of the tank we can
guard it just kind of live anything so not really a ton done there from
stone other than kind of helping the rest of the team regain this high ground.
Whoa!
Amity definitely did not want to pull block there, but so I'm going to tell her she's like,
oh look, I may be not.
She doesn't have that to push high ground.
It's kind of rough for Briar Cliff, because having every up here is a huge issue.
But they're actually going to drop themselves, so maybe less of a concern with potential map flip.
This was being questioned, but it seems to be a bait by the looks of it as Briar Cliff
feather sights towards the main angle.
It keeps Aira on the low ground, but they're still going to find the shot to shut down Amity.
The rally into the back, but also stunned too, if I'm not mistaken, and set up Stone.
It's another beautiful play from her team on this break.
And now look at this, Bellevue can fully set up here in this near high ground.
And this is going to be real awkward for Braco.
They've no real way other than this Paulson Junior would have to be absolutely fast for the Naga.
And right now I think I'm worried about bigger things, like the Ivory overclock.
So we'll see. Pulse bomb. Ooh, catch.
Or I'm getting a little frisky here about peeking it overclock, but they realize, hey, I don't know if Ivory has any slides left.
Goes on in, and he's actually gonna get two out of one. Then misses for him.
She just doesn't have to house a left. No! Pop the annihilation at the final second to live through the terror surge,
and that will secure Briarcliff that fight with.
A take-off for a take-off, and eventually, Ryar go push on through, and they still have Rally Ray to go into this next one.
So that's just some pretty good resources. Going into this next one still, and I think just trying to get out of this alive.
Not even necessarily wanting a full fight against you, but rather just making sure that he can stay alive for this next game day.
Right, it's actually on both sides. A lot of space things happening on our screens, but when it gets aggressive, it's hitting the back line.
Barcliffe, I think, entered the flip map, which Amity did drop down, but else he doesn't have any verticality.
He was left on the park by his most of the neighbors. I don't mind if I do scoops and not wet falls shortly after.
Both supports fall, and a huge ulcer advantage that Barcliffe had down the drain.
Yeah, all those ults gone.
Juven's trying to make something out of this, but won't be able to do ENOUGH.
They'll revove you.
They hold on, just waiting for R'zim to re-enter the fray.
Now some swaps last second here.
For Briacov, Emily back onto the Zarya.
We'll still have time to get here.
It's Juven and Katchy spotting late, but they're also both of the players.
From Briacov to Tot.
I think they should.
It's Juven.
Juven died late?
I don't know if Juven's actually...
Oh, Juven's dead.
Juven's dead.
Alright, Juvenile Boy, had to double check here.
Everything's okay.
Catch on the high ground with overclock, one of the last big tools you have at your disposal.
It's coming up with a whole lot of nothing.
Juvened, walked into a 1v1 with a stone, does of course the recall.
So just free to do as he wishes for a short time.
Throwing the bolt spawn was a whole lot of nowhere,
and it might be too little.
Too late for Briarcliff here on their map pick is another fantastic rally
from Rishi and the stuns on points.
I'll be the nail in the coffin for the Chargers Bellevue, now up 2-0 so close to their revenge.
Finally can kind of fend off the Rydercliff curse that's been kind of hanging over them.
The entirety of this semester and both maps are the hey we don't want to play against Lucio
Curie. He bad at the Lucio, bad at the Curie, 0-2 in those maps and granted a big part of that
This man really turning up in this series so far stone playing excellent overwars right now on this tracer
But now the thing no matter what you do Luccio Curie is there
And two out of the three maps I thought that was disgusting. My god
Are kind of quick where push you have last point both very quick maps that Luccio Curie loves to play around
If this could be screaming a 30 to me unless for our cliff find that extra gear
I think you're asking for a while touch on a little bit last map of Juven rough start to the series
I absolutely turn it around the Blizzard world, but unfortunately, I don't think that the team synergy was there
There's just a lot of weird moments where just one player left out in the open and Bellevue so quick to jump on that
Make sure that this man's left behind. Well, you're pretty dead
So yeah, Bellevue happy to take that win they can up to oh and again that curse that they've had again
The eighth seed in this event Bellevue the fifth you wouldn't think it's an upset
But when you look at the record between these two
Kind of isn't away. It's like it's not an upset in terms of rank or seed
But it's an upset of main brocklips really just had Bellevue's number this year
Yeah, and it feels like Bellevue have finally figured it out of like hey
We just great that again. This is a different brockliff team, right?
No Bobby was Saudi here to play tank
But it feels like they're finally starting to put together how to dismantle this
Ryder Cliff team and hey this is the best spot to do it right? It's do or die
here in this lower bracket semi-final in a group A and hey you gotta have your
best stuff. Only two teams out of the eight today are moving on to tomorrow.
It is a rough gauntlet today to make it a championship Sunday.
Ryder Cliff at the risk of going home without a single map win. That is the reality that they are facing.
I think it was a bit of a tough situation coming into it, just having to make as many
rule swaps as he did, but it seemed that they're making sure they give everybody the playtime.
They're giving everybody the experience of playing on LAN.
It is, again, the first time that we're for pretty much all of these players that
they're getting to play at a LAN, let alone of this level.
So many people coming from around North America to fight for a spot at the top of
at the NAISI Varsity Conferences,
or rather the Grand Finals in this case,
and Barcliffe one map away from going home,
but can you really blame them
with how well Bellevue is doing?
No, Bellevue is just playing great right now,
and I would have loved to see their game against Cumberland,
I heard map four was actually Blizzard World,
and they lost to it 3-4 in OT,
so I think that is also a good boost confidence
to Bellevue, like, hey, we can play better
than what we did.
So why not, you know, especially when Brackleth picked it, it's a great time for them
to kind of reintroduce themselves and feel better about how they're going the rest of the way.
Just to give a quick update on the other two games that came you can see in the bottom of your screen, St. Clair
up 2-0 right now on NC State 2-1 on map 1-3-1
on map 2
and then also Winthrop is up on Cumberland right now, 1-0
in the upper bracket final in group A after a 2-0 control.
So they have a couple more options with I guess how that has been
hanging up, but I guess mostly expected, so.
Yeah, that's right, and now we're following the scrubs.
Until we get to, I think the next round is when things have the chance of swapping off,
but even then that may be pushing it.
You can swapping it up though, we're not doing that here,
as we are pretty consistent on the maps that we have seen played today.
We are second rendition of RuneSoppy, Briarcliffs, Last, Stan, or at least it could be.
Whilst they pulled this one back around...
What are we our band?
Arissa and Juno.
So, this time taking away that from Avery, which is kind of shocking you to do that,
considering you've been playing the Rizoria, the Mauga, for most of the series.
That's just a statement to how well Avery's been doing on that specific hero.
Yeah, and the Juno in response from Belville,
So here we can ban supports too if you have to give us the opportunity, so that's a big
piece gone from Gryorcliffe.
They've been really utilizing those orbital rays on a lot of these engagements and now
we'll not have that at all.
They may be forced to match it on the Lucio and I don't know, we'll see how this goes.
It's first to me, you know, Zarya, Lucio, Kiri, and let's see what the DPSR probably
It makes it like so much m. Ray tracer
Of course, which considering it's a matter of
I'm not surprised they didn't have a soldier there, I guess you didn't catch that in the end of Blizzard World, but no part of the game.
And he's playing the point.
He's even wristbanding the soldier.
He's just gonna stick out of the ring
at the end of the cast.
It's still gonna be as much of an issue
just on something that is
slightly easier to collapse on.
So, the Orisa gets
Barclay for viewing this more.
This is the thing that is in my face
and it is a problem.
And I'm playing them for that mentality.
Yeah. Get rid of at least a problem
and figure out how you can get rid of
the rest of the problems.
Or at least find a
Subtle fix for the time being and it will be that Lucio carry from Belle you avery azzaria
Right now it's so poor, but yeah, that was I think just kind of kind of fooling around and rock live
The amity has making it appearance
I was waiting to see if she'd walk out of spawn on this but no she's going to commit
This is kind of the hero in my opinion
She didn't name for herself one in calling all heroes when hazard his first release one of our top performers
And I want to show that here against that Bellevue and Ryrocliffe's last chance in these upper playoffs
Yeah, see here how broccoli for what to play this and it must be it's so smear wants to get no emeralds to the scene
Already playing on my coast and he's trying to get busy
For a little bubbles went off the math there
But it is Lucio, so he'll be able to stick to the wall, it is AoK.
His bar is like in control of the Robotic Velody to a slight regroup reset.
Almost one-shot combos onto Ivory, because that doesn't hit those reds.
It's nice and vulnerable for Stone to pick off in the back,
because he's animating a ticking time bomb about quickly.
That health bar will dissipate, and he's once again stoned.
Running through by your Glyph comes up with four final blows in that fight.
What is he on today?
Something!
He has been in ridiculous form during this series and Stone continues to keep it rolling just 20 away.
To a pulse bomb, 20% ahead of Juven.
You may actually see Juven here in just a second now and I see him go just be kinda creepin' around, seems like he can find any catch.
I mean, they didn't get any red very early on in the previous fight, so...
Maybe looking for a Kirikya lurking that no dice on that one as you like to say
Avery though, almost got out by the cactuses
Didn't look almost, in the case of Amity
She's been so close to getting these blades to hop
I'm not tracking from stone, stone smooth on a catch
She's tempted to slide away
Eventually Amity comes up with Avery in the front line
And that is the actual go signal
For Ryder Cliff won't need to commit any big resources
They've all controlled me
Yeah, it'll just be Bellevue stalling this one out, but it'll be a relatively quick clean up here
From a briar cliff, just a hutch left alone, but eventually killed on points and
Right because we now keep the ball rolling on there. It's a guy that pulls it off
And less, you know, less said the better from a stone, but oh, that one though
completely jump scares
Juven.
He didn't have time to react to that.
It just blinked and he was dead.
Like that is...
I don't know what sound...
I won't sound like I can tell you that, but...
Yeah, Bellevue already setting up for the tracer on the flank
with the support off and downpour.
Now we'll come on through.
I don't think the downpour caught anybody, or at least it was dead.
No one's attainable for Amity.
Great timing on the solid barrier for LCS.
We'll make sure Amity stays alive for, I guess, an extra five seconds
for every third of their focus flyer over to her.
They're really just thanks to Regine having the sound barrier response very shortly after
and we continue to watch the master class that is Stone Tracer.
Yeah, just rolling right now in this series and Bellevue continue to just be set up.
They'll have the grab overclocked online here from Ivory and no sound barrier here.
There's no bubbles from Briarcliffe, two to them being on the havin' and not the
Zario stolen.
Caught though on that rotate.
caught though on that rotate.
There's a few recalls, but because Amity's overfighting the tracer in small rooms,
it means Velka just gets this forward spawns.
Basically enough, I remade sure no one was peeking their heads around the corner,
and Amity ends up falling, she couldn't get back to LCS and WED,
who are going to pump some heals in.
Opportunity never came, and Velka would be a very dangerous situation for them.
Yeah, continue to push our forward, now they have that pulse grab combo.
And yes, it would be a lot of fun to do this on the web,
They just kind of give it up on trying to run anything other than Lucille here
Cat sorry
Deep them on their feet
Little guts you can setting how far back the Bruins fell because of the cat overclocked
And he know what to put in the life for is not an ideal situation now for Bellevue
They might lose the fight but amity also skits so I don't really know what's gonna happen
It's gonna be on these DPS to close it down with cats getting a dip on the ivory I'd say the Chargers
You know a little bit better about this situation and this is an absolute blood back of trades mirror witnessing
trade after trade after trade and eventually
Everyone kind of resets back on the side of the bodies here first
He just put the form of a beautiful cleanse from WEDD to save LCS and now for it's spawn to reset
for Belby, but everybody responds in time to earn the benefit.
Yeah, which is rough for BriarClip because so many trains will leave.
Belby just give back to this bastard and means they're gonna have to give up some form of space
or just give back the ultimate to do it.
Downpour is out again, won't catch anything.
Rishim's gonna fuck Soundbear anyway as we partnership with Puch's Pips.
That is way too much for Belby to deal with.
LCS just a couple of percentage short when that play happened.
Otherwise, Ryder could probably have committed.
Yep, probably, but ooh, these are a little bit off.
LCS and Wetter, the final two to go,
but they will at least spawn back in together to the outside.
This cart was already moving, so it'll be at least 90 to 95 meters.
Amity will go over to that Winston that was banned last map.
Well, let's see here how it'll work.
about four and a half minutes both support ultimates online here for Briarcliff
just the overclocking library but we've seen this story before.
We certainly have but again two unmatched support ultimates you have to just
be serious dropping the cost in order for this to not go your way and you
already have it Avery out of the books I've even ended up giving the overclock for that
you are super happy you're Briarcliff one less thing you have to worry
about later and you only needed the tempo beat to get you in.
Yeah, and you just hold on to this container rush for the next fight, and after that you'll have both DPS ults back online, so...
Now this ult account you're starting to get going here for Briar Clip.
But you need more than just ult account, but you actually need fight wins from it.
Naminate's a lid, but she will, because so much tension was on her.
That's a combo with the final blow.
And every fault I come to...
Stone ice candy.
I just put a save, make a point, and then Stone just comes in and kills the whole lobby, beautiful stick on the LCS, sends him back to spawn the hard way.
So, so looking for more, and then there aren't really any more for him to go after.
Alright, well team, we'll take this group, three and a half minutes left.
I think this stick was actually on the amity, I don't think she realized where her Lucio was.
I thought it was on LCS.
I don't, chat, fact check us on that one.
Uh, but that went from a potentially great fight to a disaster for Barakliff.
Four's fun, restarted up, four Bells view, and now it's three minutes remaining.
Still about 80 meters to catch up on, and it's going to be even more.
I mean, Juven already down, but Jean, as...
Most of the time it's been stolen, but just gonna do it for himself.
But when Jean decides to show up and hold his hand, it's even scarier for Juven,
and that's just another perfect example of that ivory over on the Cassidy now,
as it is final fight territory essentially for Bellevue if they win this.
If they win this, Briarcliff will go home and Bellevue.
Will hold on to play the loser of Cumberland and Winther up in this group A, this Sider, in just a little bit.
Matt's trying to make sure that doesn't happen quite yet.
Overclocked, but doesn't really get up to the window, since it's too dangerous.
Seeing him go and drop back didn't happen, but also that near crawl to small room with Amity's Winston.
That's where we want to be with the tickle gun is a one-for-one trade at the end of this criminal rage
Almost online for amity as well
So she gives that up to make a super aggressive dive into this fight
But what worries me is how many checkmarks Bellevue are saving up. They don't need to commit to this fight
They know it they are happy with living in a one-flight win condition
Yeah, they know there's no pressure right now for them to win this fight for the next or the following
Granted, yeah, they're gonna start using ults here and this next one is Stoen just continues to lurk
But yeah, four ultimates soon to be five of this pulse. It's just a primal right now for Brack, cuz it's not like it's a giant ultimate
So all roads lead to another Stoen's first pick
Like how does nobody even do against that Stoen does not miss hitting every blink melee
Great boob from Elsie has to at least deter the tracer from now
Now, if we get to drawing this, the only thing I'm really doing with this dead eye, and that's
blood!
Everyone's so focused on that, you forget what Stone is doing, and the back line, and
that is now the second support.
Actually, LCS might still be alive.
Red is dead, and that is more concerning, and Robot is walking away from you, even
as the picks are coming in.
Yeah, it looks like, you know what, I'll just kind of fight out.
I'll put this card, if you guys just want to hang out, buy a point, now a minute
to go here, Debbie's still got two ultimates, Pete now builds up for LCS.
Marry is there is mirrored with regime which will be helpful once he was
grabbed on surge I'm telling us it's not prior clicks and now the team that
arguably needed your end the final minute need to win at least three consecutive
fights you're not even gonna win the one in the neutral every doesn't appeal to
grab a ton surge forces the sound barrier out of LCS besides you know
what that's enough we'll take it and they's not gonna be here even though
yes you lose sports funds it's fine at this point you still have a beat
of your own to keep you in this for whatever punch Briarcliff is able to pull up next, but with only 25 seconds left, they need like 5 fights in a row.
It might just be the swan song for the Chargers.
One more for Bellevue to solidify them as moving on in this bracket for that decider.
Briarcliff, you can't go home here without winning a map. They're gonna give you one more shot, but you don't have WED.
If it's Tony Rush at least went out the regime, running it down straight, it catch, finishes, and off.
And that, as I said, Jesse Swanson now for the Chargers, Belvie University hit themselves alive here into the elimination round
and will move on to face the loser of Winther Percumberland.
Sad in there for Briar Cliff, but Belvie finally extinguished the Briar Cliff demons that they have yet to do this season up until now.
And who else is gonna get another play of the game? Who else? It feels like single handedly at times.
Stone has decided this is my lobby.
And you guys can just deal with it.
It was an unbelievable performance from Bellevue and they've earned their right to play in that lower decided right.
I went for the 2-0 in that game over Cumberland, but we have yet to see the result.
That one Dallas is also 2-0 up on Timbuson.
Yep, that was, uh, not too shocking, I think, I think, with Tamusa.
And perhaps a bit of a closer game, could be, maybe, a map or two, but, uh, it'll be a rough turnaround, if so.
For these roster, for now, I think Bellevue, very happy with that.
This DPS 2, I think, so, so, so good.
Hey, I got a question, it's a LAN event, what could they do differently?
Bellevue have won, again, a local LAN for the past three years.
One was in like last month and a half I think it's when that was yeah something around that I got thumbs up
So yeah, Bell do you know what talent like the play on land and they know how to win
And it was absolutely showcased in their matchup today
I don't look forward to see if they can use this momentum to carry forward into was likely going to be Cumberland as an
Opponent to get their revenge there too
Yeah likely Cumberland unless they can pull off the reverse sweep against to win throw up again
It was a 3-1 for Cumberland in the upper bracket, so that should be a spicy game
Can't wait to see how that one ends up going but for now it is the swan song for Briar Clip
They will bow out here in the top eight of this event and
Potentially join back to Moosey here and then we'll see if they can pull off the reverse
We've got their own one against UT Dallas
But I was at least it was a decent showing it's not like they got you know kind of pushed around
It's it's roughly near the eighth seed because you have an uphill battle the entire way
I think they should be proud considering all the roster swaps that they had going into this tournament that were kind of last second
But yeah, obviously not the greatest and it to their season here at top 8
But all things considered even with having those roster changes
I think just added more to that that kind of pain and challenge
Yeah for prior cliff
They still got the experience of playing on land first time for most of these players
So I'm really glad they got to be in this environment,
meet all the other people that they've been playing against,
or maybe playing with in other locations.
Two teams very heavy with Overwatch World Cup, face it,
and calling all heroes a talent nonetheless.
So very proud of them.
And happy that we got to see them
for a little bit and highlight their skill on stage.
Yeah, it was great to see kind of them one more time
here on this stage.
And Billy back, right?
Like a lot of this roster is pretty young.
Could I again be a little bit of a slightly different look going into next semester?
In Rostromania this summer is going to be a little wild.
From the whispers that I have heard so far, it's going to be a wild stretch.
But I think Ryder Cleaver well set up to be a fantastic force still next season.
But Bellevue, they get to keep kicking on.
They get to kind of watch the rest of that Cumberland-Winterham game as well to see how that one finishes up.
It's definitely gonna be helpful for them as we see them moving on ahead again. I kind of want to shout out
We've done every player a hundred regime do a lot of people you will ever find in a land venue
I guarantee that was the case for this game in particular
And there's a lot of friendship between these two rosters
I don't go on all heroes connections in particular so seeing that bonds is really fun
I can imagine we heard it too
We're just in a different area so we specifically think it's here. We'll have to imagine it for later on
Yeah, we excited to see but we're gonna go on a quick break everybody just to kind of wait for these other games to wrap up
If one I think goes not for them
We may jump over like we did earlier on and kind of watch the end of that series
But for now we'll plan on watching and potentially NC State UT Dallas once again in that lower bracket final
Group B, but time will tell. If that is what it'll be, stay with us everybody for more Overwatch

driving a Chevy Suburban up 45 minutes in rush hour every day and I kind of just got to a point
where I kind of wanted something a little bit more enjoyable. And this was actually in the
in the same building that I worked in.
You know, I went to my dad and asked like,
okay, we like, I want to do this, I want to get a new car.
And he said, like, all right, let's go over to you in touch.
There was a lot of uncertainty going into this process.
I was thinking a lot of paperwork,
a lot of numbers, really understand
kind of how any of this works.
The person we were talking to was actually a car guy.
So he was almost like, really excited.
He's like, yeah, you're getting your first car.
You know, what are you getting?
Having a car really helped me travel for eSports events.

You
I
Yeah, we're back already. That was really fast and the reason it was really fast is
because we have the opportunity to jump into another series that is not a sweep and imagine
probably should have been a sweep in most people's first thought. Yeah. Yeah. So we
are going to jump right into St. Clair versus NC State. Now it was St. Clair obviously
and started up to ONC State took map three
and now we find ourselves on Esparanza
for the first Saints map pick of the series.
Maybe one end of their second game of today.
Like they did their first game of today
against Texas A&M, San Antonio.
Well, let's see here if the Wolfpack
have anything to say about it.
NC State's known to be a team
to stretch series to the distance.
Now they're the team that kind of needs
to push it forward rather than the one
kinda given up a map here and there and already a few of those bands out obviously Jetpack
Cat, Sog, I've seen Jetpack Cat being banned all the time. I'm used to that in my ranked
games. I'm not used to it at this type of scene yet.
Lots of tank bans from St. Clair. I see a lot, maybe like two, that's still a decent amount.
Yeah, two, and then they're taking away the Brig, which probably means they want
to force a Lucio Curico or there was a cat band.
Maybe there's a cat being played that we haven't quite seen yet.
They can look at NCSU at the end of their game against UT Dallas
and NC State were playing a good amount of Arissa Echo poke
for the most part. They didn't really want to play close.
So with the break being taken away, maybe that forces some things.
But we're gonna wait on that. I don't even want to call it on that
St. Clair though much more typical for I think what we've been expecting
Riz are on the forum, which is shockingly the first time we're seeing that on broadcast today
Yeah, no, it's kind of a shock to see that for the first time here
And I think I just they are known to Mima. So I'm not sure this is real
I
I get it she got buffed chief, but I don't know if it's that much
With the Malaga though more people on fire more crates, and that's the part that got buffed was the fan the flames
So I wonder if that is part to do with it
You also bunk a choco right in the jetback cat with lobby in tow so many combo potentials
With these ultimate we are gonna have so much fun with this map. This is gonna be a real fun everybody
Make sure you stay locked in but already spliced super low
Yikes, that's just a run out of there and get some healing by Nellix.
So I'm starting to see why Atlas was the map NC State 1.
Yes.
This is the composition they were playing.
I think that makes a ton of sense.
Likely with a brick though.
Just based on that.
Lovin' us go down.
It's run over by Dread on his mission.
It splices just in no pants.
I'm in the back line.
So he's got a chill in it, but that is three members of the NC State
the state, turning around to punch the maga down a couple of notches, he can tread on a mech, it's definitely something that this is not a fight that NC State are favorite in, if they want to get these pips, they can do so, try to be careful with tread, getting closer to getting the mech back.
Yeah, Tread almost there and you can see this cat Cassidy up.
Pretty much you can be lifting Lobby up to get better shots on Rager, which, yeah, it's actually not that bad.
A theory here of Lydian. It's kind of being a nuisance and it works. Tread not able to get back in mech in time.
And that'll force the Saints to kind of reset here. They're waiting for it the whole time. Didn't work out.
Plus also did switch to mech, but you can't realize. You know, there's a little too much focus fire.
I'm a free old battery or rather real gun battery for noxious and good swap all around some better access to high grounds in some state.
I'll get that part of you.
And off Libyan again just continuing to hang out and again not a playstyle we see a lot right now even since release
Onron has yet to really enter the fold for me this is the time a rager
continuing to light it up on the part of person who is on stream and Lottie sent away.
Yeah, that was a little bit of a slow start, but now I'm starting to get into it.
That way you know
Even though Canada
Not like it that far
There you go, but say Clark get really close to it is tech will be a touchdown here by oblivion
Gets there good. He's not staying there. I can tell you that not just catches him with a disruptor shot
Could use the resurrection to get back in the fight
but gonna opt to just go back to spawn the old fashioned way to take Claire.
They got the Force Bones.
Force Bones unlocked and still some key little check marks.
Ready to go.
Self-destruct, beats and the Sparrages.
No perk needed now to be able to move in,
which by the way, that's a great game of life.
Change!
But that doesn't do any of them when you have to deal with a dead eye
just floating in the sky.
What a shot from Mami.
I don't think there's anything we could have done about that.
It was just a great flick over.
on the noxious air above the chuckle, so now we're in a perfectly NC State!
One of those few teams we've seen play the Jetpack Cat prior to today,
and it's clearly working out for them so far.
Yeah, worked out great that time around.
Just catches Sinclair completely off guard, and just the one ultimate needed that time.
And now you can do a little bit of scouting here with the chuckle.
Is it almost... it's like a...
Looks so silly.
That is egregiously silly, but that screams NC Spade.
That is a very consistent setup. They can be egregiously silly, I suppose.
They have room to use them. I'm just waiting to see how Oblivion ends up using this Vermilion set.
I'm just trying to see what that ends up doing. I think it's because of the Susu, and it's not very, a little risky on it, but we're just not going to see this fight at all.
Two for the broad and no damage taken best case scenario for that ultimate razor really taking advantage of these four of us as of late
Team 1
Team of St. Clair, but some work to do to get those forward spawns back online
I wonder how much longer this oblivion experiment's going to go on the on run now that the mage is not in play
It gets a little bit tricky, but hasn't really found the opportunity yet to use that all big at this fight
Is it but yet almost everything now for both teams?
Except that Barrage of this guy use some razor, but it's not like
Really oh whoo bucket chung go to book it out there and the skin
There's the combo, get again with Lobby, that's a sound barrier to come out, this is a risk from Reddix, could have been an A-Jax.
We could have stood to one, Lobby won't get any value out of the cat eye.
Combo and MC State still have four ults to work with, make that three malice, lays a threat partner for them to go on in.
Pat Napper, right onto Noxious, it's a nice little one-way trip up the cliff, so these fraunza and State will manage to stabilize using the revival as well.
Very expensive commitment, but a very necessary one for NC State to make sure they can stay within this route.
Yeah, if you lose that, then you get to the point where St. Clairs at 100 meters plus, and it's going to be a rough turnaround.
This is at least still a workable distance here for NC State, with just over four minutes left to play.
I believe it will stick it for now, but it didn't really die after the resurrection, so it didn't really have the time.
Two swaps, just a sub to Stratum's Splash, but Noxus not really giving any sort of time to gameplay in.
It's all clear, the whiplash, lobby must have gotten just a head away from that.
It is incredible, they have much respect over to Noxus, and he's just bill warranted considering his skill on the soldier before it spawns again for St. Clair and the Abbas high ground to work with.
It's stinking, and has to get that up, unfortunately,
and it will suffer the consequences.
Because of it, yeah, three minutes,
40 seconds remaining on this corner,
and self-destructs for both teams,
but it's more of a backup.
I think you're waiting for lobby to get up to this dead eye,
stick them in the air with Bunker Chumko.
And his self-destruct has to be his bike tread,
it's an oblivion.
Gets popped right out.
Spiders of mobility on Ron has.
It gets nowhere.
Robot is on the move.
He's still in the cat-eye combo.
It's gonna be pulled out.
No soundbearer from Red X this time,
Put it on stop, they're all in the small room!
Great defense major for Trent, they didn't least previous teammates there.
Now you have the sound barrier up right, because everyone back in the fight,
they'll chuck them for splice, I don't really like that idea on the ZNC stage.
Very low on options.
Low on options, low on ults, and low chances of escaping this one right now.
St. Clair will continue to extend this lead out.
Just the cat napping for Anti-State, which you're kind of getting into the phase of the snap,
It's really hard to get outside the map, you're more dragging somebody into the rest of your team rather than out.
But Rayzer, we saw this garage get three last time, could shield the series here.
And this is what we're looking for, we see the rush from Alex to get the team in this fight.
There's the catnapper, grab somebody, but it doesn't really matter, it's like the chunk goes, hit the deck after.
Yeah, one last chance here for Renzi State to keep their chances of at least pushing through the upper bracket alive. Obviously, would not be eliminated with this loss. Just having to play another one to make the top four. And the widow gambles doesn't pay off for the lobby.
They had to give it a shot where you are in the map another overclock from Noxious
blows up
Slices
Mech and
NC State
So few things can be done on one old small room of a million a cent and it's just
such a sad hero how to be playing against this team and feeling the pain of
That St. Clair is that we don't want to win another minute 40 if we want to win this right here and right now
Now rods available for Razor. We know he's gonna be looking set up the angles finally oblivion swaps
Is it clear? We're gonna give up the point
Yeah, well if I mean just give up just kind of reset here got a few members who died during that so trying to reset now
Still for our stuff struck in the back pocket. We didn't even need it. Well. Well, yeah, let me need it more
Used it. I don't need it. You used it bye bye buck the choke goes. I guess you're getting the robot
some for progress or you just stall at the time there's only a minute left
density state very few things they can do and you don't have a jetpack cap to
combo with the dead eye anymore and to make that legal yeah there's gonna stall
this out waiting for Razor to come back and out right raise back full 5v5 in
this pot really didn't move anywhere missing some sess brought a stick clear
very well played touch up the discipline from this roster I say
Discipline Trek, huge slicker of the sense of intersection.
Lobby is absolutely not the nut.
That typically forwards for Reddix as they are gonna
mow through every last member of the Wolfpack.
That's a team-wiped as Robot will be walking home
one way or another.
St. Clair, Saints remain undefeated
and I'll move on to the single-Elon playoffs.
St. Clair, top four bound here in a varsity. They will play second place from a group A,
which right now looks to be either Cumberland or Bellevue, who ever wins that rematch. I've
got to see here. I'll check here and see if that is going to be the case, but an excellent
showing from St. Clair in this one, and they booked their ticket into that top four.
I do want to look back on that atlas map again a bit of an inkling how that went just with how
MC State pulled out on that map, but the fact that they got that map I think is a good
I guess like a good motivator to go on ahead already won better than the 30 or the 03 year-old result
You had been st. Clair earlier on in the regular season
I don't like the onron experiment. I'm gonna be honest like it was really cool to see
It's just not a hero that I think works with that composition or just in general
there's so many better options for the role that she would be filling.
The St. Clair really took advantage of that, still ball the lead ahead.
Again find themselves a guaranteed spot in the top four and we'll be playing that second seed from the second group.
So yeah that is confirmed now to be Bellevue Cumberland winner.
Will now play St. Clair.
Meanwhile, Anti-State, they will play UT Dallas once again.
That has been confirmed as well.
Temuza will also bow out in the top eight after a sweep by the comments.
So a nice little rebound there from Dallas after a rough end
to their first round game that we saw earlier.
But we get some rematches here.
So far, kind of going by the script, which
isn't totally unseen.
I think it's the second round of games here in this final elimination
game that we're really going to see some spice.
Yeah.
You've had the teams time to get comfortable, time
to figure out what is going to work best for them on land.
So performance levels will change
It's been a very long day of Overwatch to be played for pretty much everybody that is involved in these broadcasts
Yeah, long day three games down or kind of three and two kind of jump in here from us so far in this dream
We got two eight, but three more to go. Sorry two plus two not three plus two yet
Yeah, that was technically a little bit. If we do the jump in's and then I'm just three
We'll say three total look at the jump in's is one. It's two maps though. Yeah close enough
Math is math. We're not here for math, we're here just for collegiate overwatch.
Well your math wasn't mathy, that's why I was so confused. But for Gargoyles of that fact, I'll give him some time to study up on that before we head back into our collegiate overwatch finals here at Full Sail University.
So stay tuned, much more to come from the overwatch side.
I
the
You
I
my name is Ryan murky mojica I am an
I am a coach at George Mason University eSports called duty team and I am a computer engineering
and computational data science student.
When I first needed a car I was 18 out straight out of high school driving a Chevy Suburban
up 45 minutes of rush hour every day and I kind of just got to a point where I kind
of wanted something a little bit more enjoyable.
And this was actually in the same building that I worked in.
You know I went to my dad and asked like okay we like I want to do this I want
to get a new car and he said like all right let's go over there in touch.
There was a lot of uncertainty going into this process.
I spent a lot of paperwork, a lot of numbers, really understand kind of how any of this worked.
The person we were talking to was actually a car guy, so he was almost like really excited.
He was like, yeah, you're getting your first car, you know, what are you getting?
Having a car really helped me travel for eSports events, and not only that, it just gives
me the ability to be the team dad.
I give my players rides, get the campus for NAIS matches, and just supporting the team
in a bigger way that I wouldn't be able to before.
Ben and these students are looking for financial tools, resources, and support from people
who care.
I recommend checking out Intouch Credit Union.
With graduation coming up, I honestly don't think I'd be where I'm at in my financial
journey without them.
That's the rule of cheer.
I
Four teams have moved, or excuse me, two teams have gone home!
Two teams moved on!
Now we've got to figure out who will be joining them.
It is Winthrop and St. Clair College that find themselves guaranteed the number one spots
for that single E-limit semi-finals, but now we get to figure out who will be coming their
way.
So they're going to be NC State or UT Dallas from our next match.
Yeah, rematch from a group B of that opening round, which NC State took 3-1.
We caught the tail end of that here on stream where NC State, well, A, they pulled the little
The golden squishy.
The golden Pachamari.
Yes.
But also, yeah, ran through it on that final map and won the series 3-1.
But now a chance here for UT Dallas to kind of avenge themselves how they did last time,
make some little changes against the Wolf Pack this time around.
The winner will play Winthrop in that semi-final, which is a little rough for anybody who
makes it up but still it's a giant accomplishment to make it to that next
phase of this competition so a lot on the line here between these two teams
absolutely it might feel like a death sentence either way you end up going
but what if you get top four so you at least take that well you can or NC
States you said you came out three one last time can they do that again we've
got like a couple glances of NC State yeah one map here one map there yeah
we've basically cast in half of an NC State series at this point just because
amount of random maps that we have gotten. And knowing these two rosters, this is going
to get kind of crazy in terms of our hero pick. So let's wait no longer get a taste of our
players and since the university kind of the uproar of this 2526 collegiate year came
out of absolutely nowhere. First years of varsity program made it to top eight in mason
the fall qualified to the super conference and have remained the top 10 ish since
Yeah, they've always been looting green around this spot. They had some unlucky draws and open
during the single elum phase. I think they played Northwood super early. It's like
What are you gonna do at that point?
But they've had a really solid year
Excited to see now how they do if they can keep it up have that same results here against UT Dallas
You were on the other side wanting some
Revenge and again a lot of a few of the old guards still here for UT Dallas
including Abdullah final potentially final series for him and his UT Dallas
career but it'll be exciting to see it especially this NC State team you know
lobby has really stood out for me at least this year has really shined I
believe he's played well maybe not the honor that we saw a little bit ago the
honor can maybe stay in the drafts for a little bit but NC State doing a great
job so far this year and hoping to hold on one of those top 10 spots overall
of here this weekend they want that top four they're not for making their own
knee stress themselves a Malga jetpack cat on run in the the last back of that
St. Clair series that we got a sneak peek at but we have a look at the other
side of this because you see Dallas they're coming off a full sweep of a
win against Texas A&M San Antonio in that elimination stage so as they
sent down or they rather sent home one of their quote-unquote rivals that
built up throughout the semester so I definitely a good feeling for them but
perhaps expected win nonetheless you have a lot of I think phone is the one
that stands out the most in terms of competitive experience but it have
dollars been around forever who said this is going to be his last run with
just a master as he will be graduating the way her moza and holding it down on
the support Eric very consistent with his scan and it pairs well with phone
who could play basically any flex dps or non hitscan even those under the sun should they put their mind to it
Yeah, no phone is one of those players that like you dream i'm having if you're a coach
There's whatever spot you put them in whatever kind of flex dps you want them in they can do it
Uh, so phone a great asset to this team. Uh, there was a stint where they were on tank
For a bit which was a little bit weird
But this is a team that has unreal flexibility and I'm excited to see how they flourished that here today in this one
We'll go to potentially maps here then in just a moment waiting to see if teams
I think they were just getting back from lunch a lot of teams kind of took their quick lunch break
We were I was kind of walking around and actually ran into Cumberland on accident on the way out and there
So they're feeling pretty good and they're soon to be rematch against Bellevue in that other lower
elimination game that's over in group A if this one ends early we might be jumping
over there if that's still going at that point time will tell but that should
be some exciting games here for the final round of at least the group stage
today and then we got two more after that. We'll move on to our two semi-finals
single-eeland games afterwards that but first got to tell you a little bit
about our partner in Gigi Circuit proud to support the NACE Grand Finals
This year showcasing some of the best collegiate sports program in the country behind every great team is the right infrastructure
That is where they come in player management and secure labs to tournament operations and remote support GG circuit powers
The infrastructure behind every match every scram and every championship moment
We simplify the technology so schools can focus on what matters most let the players play and you let the coaches coach
They'll take care of the rest if you are building or scaling your eSports program
Make sure to connect with Gigi circuit. They are ready when you are
Yeah, truly great to have a partner like Gigi circuit here in this event
And truly great to have all of you guys here as well watching and supporting our collegiate players and teams in their journey
So make sure you can follow to the overwatch esports socials and it channels. You're watching on this
There are also some drops and you can get your hands on throughout the day today
Yeah, you're checking it out during the break on X is a lot of great content
If you missed a little bit, if you're just tuning in,
some great recap contents for the best clips of today
already there, so make sure you check out all the socials
for a little bit of a recap.
If you're just joining us here,
live in Orlando, Florida for the Nayscreen Finals,
AKA also the Overwatch Collegiate Finals
here this weekend.
And yeah, some great stuff over there.
Again, like the Gold Patch of Mario Club,
which that has to be, we watched that during the break.
What are the chances of that?
One of the funniest things I think we've had
during a cast in a long time.
Well, that was just rude.
I mean, it's saying skill issues.
I hate that, I hate that, I hate that.
But yeah, no, we were having a blast.
And I hope you guys are, well,
because I know these players team put so much effort,
not only to get to this event,
but to the performances that they are showing off today.
And UT Dallas, NC State, just two more examples
of what that can look like,
and see what they have to offer.
And, you know, I'm a little, I want to be a UTD believer.
I want to be a UTD believer for this game.
If they took a map off already,
now I would like to see phone commit
a little bit more to a hero.
I think that would help.
There was a little, too much, I remember.
They were all over the place.
We had to do like six hero spots,
to make sure off that game.
And then finish that, here we go, Zen and a C9.
So no more of that.
Everybody knock on wood, cross fingers,
I don't know, whatever you do for that.
No more C9s today.
We've already got the Tilly up to two.
and both of which have been
uh... but that's the state was not involved in the last one so i was a
who the first one yes
the first one yes the second one
not so much so we take those
and so i will recap uh... i'm see
back
debuary sixteen i see a very different matter at that point is when
ut dallas
uh... lost the first time
tensi state of the sweep
but obviously a three one earlier today so
Starting to go that direction
We'll get to see how it all goes on. We're also gonna shout out or other wonderful partner during this event
We're doing a little bit of a break here letting him got a little bit of an invite ball good going on for the lobby
But you know it doesn't have bugs always gives you some performance Raven
Special thanks to our partners at Raven GG Raven is the official merchandise partner of nace and the premiere platform for creating your dream
Custom gear whether you're outfitting a team or building your brand Raven gives schools everything
they need to look their best. Visit raven.gg to start creating today. They got tons of options
over there. If you want a little bit of a title like a v-neck jersey, you want the long sleeves,
they got everything over there at Ravens. So go check them out. Excellent stuff over
there. Now we get to hopefully get into this game relatively soon. It felt like a kind
of a mass migration out of the live venue when I was walking around everybody leaving
to go get some food, get some great food trucks here, saw people get some fast food, some Wendy's.
We had some incredible burgers. I don't know where they were from. Shout out whoever was grabbing food
here for the crew. Shout out to all the crew. Obviously, we have our remote production staff
that's helping out with this. Shout out to everybody at Radiant and Brandon, all of them,
for helping with this. There's a boatload of people over on the other side of this building
helping out with the game. So shout out to Full Sail and their staff for helping out because
it's a lot. There's just a lot going on right now and we wouldn't be able to do it with the staff we have.
Yeah, absolutely not. It's so cool to see in professional organizations the support from Blizzard
and Collegiate Overwatch to have an event of this scale. They get first-time in seven years. We
are going to crown a Collegiate Champion in a LAN environment and then it's also a learning
experience for the students. All of the Full Sail students that are getting involved with
this event behind the scenes in production, all those other areas. There's so many people
that actually go into putting on an event of this scale. And it's always such a treat
to be back here in Orlando. It's a toasty one out there. We were talking to a full
still staff member earlier, and they're like, is it normally this much? She's like,
oh no, no, no, this is like pretty, this is pretty mild. It was really hot earlier
this week, but no, I said this is fine. I'm like, this is fine. I remind you,
We're going to be in the air conditioning room. Oh, yeah, pretty good. And I hope our players are also in
Air conditioning or at least drinking a lot of water. I think that's important granted. Newtzi Dallas
I think they're pretty used to this heat at this point. They're probably used to the humidity but not like the heat
It's not this bad, not this bad, maybe within 10 degrees, I'm not a weather expert in the
Americas.
I've been to Carolina once and that was a long time ago, that was during the dark ages
of COVID.
So kind of that's all a little fuzzy back there.
I think for a lot of people it is.
Just like your math skills.
That's okay.
We couldn't figure out that we had a classic case of one plus one is three.
It is in fact not three for all of those who are wondering.
Oh god.
But we'll move on from that, so I don't have to torture Jesse any longer with Sterling,
and we won't go to our map pool.
And, yeah.
So it is a very fun map pool, we have had Lijiang Tower every single match we have had on broadcasts,
and even the ones who've jumped in midway have also picked that map.
Mmm, any guesses Jesse, will it be Lijiang Tower, three for three?
I think so.
We're technically five for five.
If it's not Lijiang Tower, I will guess it's Oasis, but I, if I were to
I was a betting man.
I would be doing Lijuan Tower.
I'm thinking either of these teams want to play.
Aha!
Hey, look at that!
Check bot.
There you go.
Nailed it.
Lijuan Tower back here again.
It would be NC State's pick as they are actually
the third seed for this event.
Six and three on the season.
Technically four and three, or five and three.
There we go.
I just had to do some math because I included
the playoffs and my records on the machine.
Whereas UDD are coming in as the 60th,
Which is almost, it feels like it's closer,
but I feel like out of the teams that we have here,
UTD definitely on the lower side,
I think in terms of expectations,
with really only Temusa being that buffer.
Yeah, there was not a ton of expectation
for UTD going into this.
I think it was just not get top eight.
Like if you get top six and you go,
I think that's fine.
It's been kind of all over the place
for Dallas this year.
We were talking with Thon,
it's not the semester they necessarily
watching in terms of results. They've had some great ones and then they drop random games.
That's kind of been the theme this entire season for the comments. So maybe end it at least
here at this part of the tournament on a high note. It'll be the Lucio Band coming in from
NC State. No shock, they want to run more of kind of the non Lucio Cows where there
be Jetpack Cat, Juno, stuff like that.
Oh yeah, there's no way we're not getting a Bunkachunko Jetpack Cat.
Oh, it's happening.
I would name my cat Bunker Chunko.
I have to be like a tank of a cat.
Oh, it would have to be a unit.
A unit?
I have to be like a 10 to 15 pound just gigantic cat.
Wait a minute.
Yeah, I don't know if I'd be able to handle that.
That's a lot of cat.
That's a lot of cat, but.
But that would be a Bunker Chunko.
You're very right on that.
But also with the Lucio Band, I think you're encouraging, you don't want that
from Douyu, which you're taking that away from.
So it also makes a lot of picks like Zarya a lot weaker,
just because you like having that speed to get you around.
So you're either stuck running that Juno brig,
or you're going to swap to your kind of Diva jail
or something along those lines.
So you can still have that mobility around the map,
which is so important for Lichon Tower.
Yeah, we saw it even earlier, right?
Like you want to have the higher mobility,
whether it be the Mauger Compton,
you're trying to run down people or whether it be the tracer and diva trying to pair
together you want to make sure the speed is on your side
that'll be the case here for both of these teams but obviously yeah no lucio
probably leaning towards that Juno to have that be the case second band is now
in from you to death what they saw the last was like you know what as much
as we like you cooking with the on run we don't want it I'm gonna be the first
I'm going to see fact checkers. I know there's some of you out there who like to fact check like everything on this particular twitch
If you can help us out
Because I think it my memory it is
I got to be close to unless it was like a throw away, but honestly dare. I say this is a buff to NC State
Because it forces it forces
I don't know what happened on that Atlas map that they ended up winning and I'm assuming it had to do with the Malaga Onron
Which I've some sinner
She just because you have the double ignite and that makes the on run so much more dangerous. Yeah in that way
But playing on as opposed to like a tracer or even like Genji now seems strange
I just say the least there's so many better options than that so UTD
We'll take it away, not going to be hit by that specific wild card for Insistate.
We're going to see here just a moment what these two teams are wanting to run aground.
It was Entistate 1-maps 1-2, Entistate 1-maps 3, and then Existate ended it on map 4.
Last time I saw it, you know, it's a statement, you want to follow the same early trend or
if you see Dallas and you're able to break it up.
Once solidly in the top 10 nationally, Dallas kind of outside in the top 15 range.
16th.
16th, right? I would argue they could be higher than that.
That's not what the people said.
I know.
I mean, I can get your argument, but people don't quite agree yet, and if, hey, if they're,
that's going to change, we start here in this series, as we are going to get started.
It is in fact a bunk of chonko cat with a naloxana.
You're only to not typically see on control maps and we are about to find out why is he to punch a sticky mom's phone
Yeah, and Delta like all right. We'll just go by point for now and let's see
I just said actually want to engage on this a little bit awkward
Because you need to wait for knowledge to get into a decent position to have any sort of LOS
There's a great buyer made to forces the Suzu out of her moza. It's kind of a go-in button for split
She was on that azure, he's one of those few players I think we're still
picking up that hero in these more dive type situations, especially if the diva's not your jam.
He's just making warped thumbs up with two spikes of all things.
And he'll take that if you're NC State.
Nobody's actually been able to confirm an elam on Nellich.
Bunga Chunko just relocated him, every time he's been in danger.
And you see Nellich, she's already able to lock anyone down because of it.
Yeah, NC State kinda dragging this out a little bit, but eventually
Kills will fall their way and she stayed will cap first and it's an awkward look
Obviously to me on the a lorry
Well was on the a lorry
You want to play around that poke?
But I don't think it's it are really going to give you that many angles to make the a lorry work out
We're gonna try and play a lot of this cover, especially oblivion who's already three quarters of the way to a barrage
And I think that's kind of the reason you're running to Yari if you're not going to ban
Faro.
It's like that made it through and not online.
It's a little bit more pressure onto the hero and the same goes for Bunkachunko who's
just kind of floating around and even it's not going well.
Lobby and Splice, pincered, voted Eric in the small room, but not where you want
to be against the hazards to their exquisite targets.
They downpour defeated now for Splice, right time Suzu out of Hamoza and make
sure they avoid it in that storm.
But they're down on me, so I guess UTD wants to read it fast.
Yeah, just trying to chill off for a sec, wait for the tracer to return.
Everything, but that downpour available now for the Wolf-Eye Prophet.
UTD flipped, and they let's you get the point right away, anti-state.
Trying to play elsewhere, and it works out.
Joy eliminated before this fight can even begin.
And you're okay giving up a couple of percentage, if you're able to confirm elimination like that.
Pops it out, but no phone and drag down and because of the start of moza put it suzu to get him out
I either
Beauty Dallas Wow water up turn around there Bucca chunk of really saving the day for NC State
Great little cat and I'm picking up Bucca chuck with his lips. There's flexible back up the high ground
That's some great little movement tech there from the cat still three else for NC State Dallas
Everything but that could soon a rush from her moza
But you got to use at least enough to get you through but not everything so you have something a
Snowball this off of and that's always kind of the game that the teams
struggle with at times
You feel like you have to use everything
And I think for UT Dallas because of this final fight territory
There's really to invest a lot more
Don't use it as a trap of something just to get away from Lobby
It's basically the UT these spawns and an important splice for that
So I think it is very well worth it.
Point is being tested presumably by Abola.
He just doesn't have a lot of health to go around.
You're not too worried about that, because the point is grip, but no it's Stink.
They're not giving up on this, now Abola's on Oblique.
He's so fast!
Because of that perk,
hit the barrage straight out of Abola's head.
Abola takes damage himself, because of how close it was.
And you, TD, short-lived capture, and see Stink roaring back in,
despite losing Splice early on.
Now they no touch from the comments this far a jetpack cat simply to a present
There's way too much going on Dallas never even used to struck never used pulse
There was never a moment where Dallas had control of the temple of the fight. That's exactly what NC State
What during this cop?
It's worked out excellently so far. We'll go over to control center for our next one
Okay, okay. I'm still amazed. How are we banning on Ron and not fun like yeah
Okay, if you're gonna play on Ron with a Malga do it here on control center
That's one point and the other two is simply so much better just to have that hero
I mean you T.D. I guess they have to have something cooking for this map
They're making it quite a few swaps including a phone to make
One of phone's best heroes. So let's see what works out
May's kind of been in and out, not really in a great spot in the meta, but not in an unplayable position.
Also, the sigmar is going to keep the distance, just enough from Sly trying to use that accretion to force the hazard to play a little bit safer.
They say safaries, dead squads, and a stomp of FHP, I'll just take and grab that health pack.
I'm sure we're seeing my ult charge.
The heck, man. Not easy as okay.
I'll jump in. No to the man, not so much.
You'll need a real shot from Arif across the way.
But it's scary, go scare, go agonize those for the time being.
It's just hard for oblivion to be contested on this point.
You don't have a consistent way to deal with these players on the high ground,
or as huge as Dallas, they're out on the corner fighting for their lives in that white room.
You eventually the pinch will go through from Etsy's state of too many angles for Dallas to look at.
And they're like, why not?
Pull the swap, Abdelah goes back over to the diva, but Joey will stick onto the back,
which will make it a little awkward for Abdelahman to place some of these lines
a little bit closer, or at least closer to Hermoso.
At least that's some mobility.
Oh, almost a blizzard which is honestly impressive considering I was a lost flight in splice
I forgot what it's like to play into a mate. It is a miracle. He can okay
He didn't go out of line. I thought I did I saw the suzer from Nellix and the purr and a bucket chug
I like made it now. He's just dead. Do you get a dollar out of me?
So basically both teams without a tank one just has a faster respawn timer if you want to think about it that way
Ultimate's our line though for NC State and it's beauty doubt has to make the move
They're not the ones that control a point or perhaps they shouldn't have moved to anywhere.
Mr. Blivion marks a doll and in fact blows him up before they can make anything.
Dump for you to lay into this to create some stagger.
That's a cheeky little 3k.
Assist for splice.
And just when you think you should Dallas are about to regroup, the other three fall.
And I'll be even longer notice.
Dead Eye is available here in the sky.
But Dallas, you know...
I do love me some catnip, you just can't do anything about that.
I have a two!
Going down to lobby and Bunkertrunk going in the sky.
Blizzard from snow, fortunately for them, NC State, check the radar.
They are prepared for that storm.
Everyone backs out.
It's a final fight there, Thorey.
Joy over to the Mizuki, phone back over to the Echo,
and the Blizzard didn't really get a whole lot.
Kind of just put a pause on that fight,
but you need more than that.
If you are the comments, you at least have a chance of winning this map.
Do you know Bunker Chunko is fighting for a catnap before this might even start?
You see it with the hinder!
But the Williams there on the cover, Bronson to small rooms, a recipe for success for the NC State team
as the Wolfpack darn near flawless here.
Lizonga Tower Masterclass.
That was a great map from NC State's plays already. He's ready to go.
He wants the next map now.
Uh, a great map from End of State.
That's exactly after a game that, you know, St. Clair.
Yes, you kind of played close at times,
but also kind of got beat around at that time.
This kind of performance to open up an elimination series
is fantastic, and it's just a no sign of slowing down.
But now, that was their map pick.
So now we get to see what UT Dallas
would like to do coming up.
They didn't play this last time in their first series of the day because it was a round one matchup
and UT Dallas ended up losing that as well.
So, starting to build a bit of a pattern here, four ends of state.
Now watch where we go to Blizzard World next just because we have to have first map Blizzard Tower, second map Blizzard World.
Every single time. I feel like we have to at this point.
So the new King's Row.
Well, we don't have King's Row on the map.
It's taking it's taking the spot of King's row is the hybrid that everybody wants to go to
Here's like nobody wants to play nobody
I'm gonna send you so if you want to play dive you just play Blizzard world
Nobody in the pool that was midtown
Okay, then Blizzard won us your best option probably. Yeah
More that poke with the may I think midtown is actually a good option
If you want to lean into that's great for me great for Sig or Domina the Alari can get a lot of value on defense
I think mid-town could be a great option here for Dallas, but historically speaking today. Yes, it has been just all
There's more room for flexibility on that you can write a couple of different things
Yeah, it's just hard locked into a poke or a dive
so maybe that's more of the reasoning so you can have the opportunity to swap stuff up and
Yes, it's the ball is in UTD's court campaign on run again, but
But I'm so baffled by that.
Like, why?
Where?
Who?
Wow, who?
On Run hurt them.
What on Run hurt them?
Oblivion, apparently.
There's no shot.
All right, there we go.
3 for 3, back to back, Leesung Tower in the Blizzard world.
It has it been.
To start, and I think that makes a total of more sense than the On Run.
No, that's completely fair.
Get Suning House Splice was fantastic during that last map.
of that hero force place to play something else maybe the diva mirror or something to that degree
it'll be the a lauri ban on the other side that is definitely doi coated climb climb so doi had
some great shots i felt like doi just got dove like every other fight on that map yeah and it was
pretty easy to collapse on the de already like there's so there's not enough space i think to
to play Idyati without that gap being closed,
especially for Splice on the hazard, which is way too easy.
And one thing gets it so far away
that those chunking shots didn't really matter
that much in the long run.
So with that ban, does that mean we're,
I think we're either gonna be in Lucio, Kiriko, Jail?
Yep.
Or Bunko Chunko sticks this jetpack cat,
potentially on the attack.
We've seen a couple teams do that
just to get some early positioning,
but I'm kinda feeling Lucio, Kiriko, here.
I think at least for Dallas it'll probably be that.
I do think for Interstate there's a chance
they just keep buggerjunked along the cat.
But in Broke don't fix it.
Exactly.
Like they are, the team that has really run it often.
And you can kinda get the value out of that now.
Let's see how they want to do it here.
In the next map of Blizzard World,
as yeah, Hazard and the Alari,
are out of the picture, at least for the time being.
And I'm excited to see how this goes.
I think for Dallas, this had a control of the fight.
I felt like almost every single engagement during the league
on the tower.
And so they decided where and when
and how that fight was going on.
Dallas cannot let that happen over and over and over again.
If they want any sort of chance of winning.
And Aver, I don't think they've seen the point
that you took the wrong control of what was going on in it.
That is just impossible to play against constantly
having to act and not take the fight in this spot
that you want.
It is a place where not Aver, either,
often in terms of the ultimate economy.
So with this lead kind of being wiped clean
and going to Blizzard work,
which is hard to get a slow down the pace quite a bit,
just because of it being a hybrid map
and having a set defense and attack positioning,
I'm hoping they can kind of take that deep breath,
get themselves back into that rhythm,
because it's something that we know
that they are capable of.
It was almost uncharacteristic of how lost and sauce
they seem to be about to be won.
It's a food coma.
Everybody just got some lunch,
I live with a food coma for certain members of UT Dallas.
I can see it.
I can easily see it.
I won't lie, when we were getting ready, I went, yeah, the food's here.
We did have 10 minutes to eat burgers.
We did.
It was a good burger.
Oh, excellent.
I like this one.
But you tell, okay, everything is different on land too.
Dallas, Nevada, Chicago, a couple lands throughout the year that housed their
own.
I think they were the separate ones.
I can tell you that they were after you this year.
I hope we're sure that they did the taxes in the question which we posted and actually
got second place in that.
So, it would be cool if they have a chance to be in in-person environments, a lot of
these players.
We're also here last year at the NACE finals, so even the same exact venue that you're
going to be playing in, but yeah, for now, what it seems get looking for that
ultimate price of moving on to those single elimination playoffs and it's gonna be stressful
to get there, but speaking of prizes you guys also get some for watching this fantastic
stream. So make sure you are following all of the Overwatch Esports socials Overwatch
underscore Esports for at least Twitch and X over there. And if you're lucky and you
connected your battle net account or your state account depending where you're playing
You can get your hands on some fantastic drops we have up this weekend, a nice collegiate banner, some cute little sprays.
I always like this little woo young and on run ones that I really wanted to get.
And I'll just figure out how to rebuy my sprays first, but that's a later problem.
And these sports loot boxes, which is a ton of fun, just, I don't know, I like random stuff. Makes me happy.
Also shout out to my brother for watching. He has my twitch account going at home.
Thank you for the drops, sir. I owe you one.
Uh, cause I wasn't missing out on these are you kidding me?
used to add them. I wouldn't blame it.
So we get two eSports
loot box drops.
That's what I'm saying.
Come on, that's
and you're talking about the NYXL skin.
So I would rather not or collegiate.
I would like collegiate.
Well, I would love some collegiate skins.
I mean, that's how they would do it.
Part of some generic like gray, blue.
They did look like the pink and blue.
Yes. That was like the old logo, though.
Like the Diva one.
Oh, yeah, they do have a new one.
That was technically old.
You're right.
But I feel like it's still the same relative era.
That'd be really cool. I have the
The the banner that I have now it's the cozy cat collegiate one. It is adorable
It is such pretty colors and it has a cat on it. I mean, I can't can't sit down with that
Especially how much cat we've had today. It almost feels appropriate that we're we're getting this
We were kind of joking yesterday about how much the meta is kind of taking this huge shift
probably the biggest shifted scene since the
New year like the start of the season with the Talon
overtake. I think it's the largest shift we are seeing by far with some of this
jetpack cat play that's coming in. Sometimes it really made it's around.
Well it helps that you know Vendetta kind of got shot dead in terms of meta.
Which I think a lot of teams were like okay, by the way. It's, I don't mean wrong.
She's so so fun to play. She's egregiously fun to play. But she's
also so frustrating to play against if you're playing against a great one
like a lot of these teams are.
So those Zarya bubbles.
Oh my god.
Oh, you think you got it in the Zarya bubble?
And then guard, and then, oh, you're
going to fly away, and then overslot.
And then overradslash, and rinse and repeat,
and rinse and repeat.
But no, no, we haven't seen that at all so far today.
It's just weird.
I don't think we'll see it this turn.
If we don't see it today, I don't think we're seeing it at all.
There's a small chance, I think, we see it,
but it is a very small chance.
Sounds like we are about to go in.
Apologies for the pause.
I think we have figured it out and we will go in here in a moment just for
Blizzard world for map 2 of this series. Let's see if UT Dallas still got some
more gas in the tank here. I'm going to just keep rolling like they did there in map 1.
Blizzard world, hazard ban and Iardi ban from NC State Hazard.
Dona sense. Blyce was a little bit of everywhere doing a little bit of everything.
Yeah, that's a problem for UT Dallas as he said did not look in control of a single engagement or just battle
Back there on that map. So maybe with this extended pause
It gave them more time to sort of reset their mental make sure that all these communications are going smoothly
We'll be UTD starting on the defense Abdullah on diva and doing on the auto
We've actually gotten a shocking amount of
I don't know.
She did get a buff recently, but I wasn't sure if that would actually make her come in more.
Because there's just a cooldown buff. It's not like, oh, they really buffed Nade or anything.
It was a 2 second buff. It's a massive buff.
I'm pretty chunky.
Um, but yeah, it makes sense to why, you know, Ana has been kind of building up, especially
on maps like this, where Ana can just sit back on high ground.
You can tell when a dive is coming in from a million miles away, and it will be the
D.va once again for Dallas phone over back on the semester we saw a little bit of this from them
I in the previous series from UT Dallas. I think they were on Esperanza
Yeah, it was that was also when the phone made seven years or ruin his office. I knew what you meant, but
He's wanted it for the one second ultimate castor being right there
I think we see played a ton with how strong diva is that I was like splices leave towards this diva much at all
Yeah, I think these places like I don't know if I really want to go like dead
Maybe you should
Okay, get you another hero we haven't seen today
Weaker than tracer but if you're playing it with tracer and the Winston
I say it can work out a little bit better than before doesn't meet
Oops, they didn't manage to stay alive, but anything without Splice being there, that'll be a bit rough for NC State to remain on this objective as much as they can.
But they're kind of keeping this up in a staggering manner, which UT Dallas granted. They don't have a ton of resources either. They're going to get a soft reset.
Yeah, a soft reset, but there will be another touch, assuming lead from Adelaide, especially with Foe and just TP back on over.
trying to disrupt us though right away. Anadoyee already gets them up to half, but as you stay
just back up off point trying to play this on backside. I'm just watching how quickly
Splice is going to power, just drop up on four. It's so hard, I think Bucketunko doesn't have
the priority on that. He's just going to be following up on these dives Splice does, but
because of the Symmetra, because of this honor, it's just so hard for Splice to exist in front
of this beauty Dallas team for more than three seconds. It's not enough time for the Wolf
pack to get the result this place just gets melted during a lot of the fights the
bubble doesn't last long because it's getting burned down my phone he's
spawn camping. And oooookay, let's see.
Call the dial, call the dial.
Oh and pulse?
And get the TP back, he's like,
he walks it off.
Looks like nothing ever happened, alright?
Is that alright guys? Let's play this one.
Let's go.
Bulk pool collection!
So didn't expect anything different.
Bulk Doty.
We're getting through the round now.
Shrucker, Mosaid.
Pop those lips.
Once again, this is just big.
It's not working out.
Atting it all for NC State.
UT Bell is already looking much more confident
in their play actions and shutting down this guy.
Yeah, now the Winston Gamel has yet to work, currently for NC State,
for 76% but also no more oblivion, at least for a little bit longer.
90 seconds to go, I'm going to go stew back here with a lobby.
We are spawn camping folk.
The folk is just TPing.
Oh, oh, okay.
Splyce is there, but I seem to slice in one place and then he's gone.
This time though, he will live a little longer and the phone dies.
A dog, though, looking to change his fate, nano-boost, undo the diva.
Still playing on him, and his fight's just kinda chillin'.
He has the bubble, crime on rage, and absolutely needed both.
The rest of his dealers get set up on the point.
Great sleep, even Pet or Suzu from Nell, like, maybe took a 0.2 second nap.
Right back on his feet, smackin' around Dowie and some other people.
Then he's safe, starting to see his control of this first point.
Dragonblade from Oblivion, seal the deal on this one.
Three swapping over to the jetpack hat to get more players back faster as Eric missed his overclocking
and smite my supplies out of the sky.
That's the wrong point you're going to want back.
Catnap, make your Bunker Chunko take one hour of the ability to go down a hour with the Catnap
and that'll seal the deal here on point A.
Bunker Chunko with a technical 3k to come in.
That goes off that point.
I don't think we would be seeing it all today, but NC State know how to use this asset
Yeah, they know how to use the cat that is for sure
Promoting a recess China to Korea and now collegiate championships
This guy's definitely getting a little bit of a workout these last few weeks
With all of the changes phone will stick to the reefer and splices world wasn't already hard enough
Make it a little bit harder
It is off the Symmetra, so I guess it's one less thing there.
You cannot be in the same zip code as phone.
And that is one dead monkey.
Fancy State has control of the side ground,
and there's now do-e-ing, and there's a lot of pressure.
Force is the recall out of lobby, holding it very well.
In these 1v1s, it's kind of wise
you don't see teams running on it as much
as you are vulnerable, but honestly,
I think twice as a smaller throw-up hold,
how many times I am just seeing it go down the first,
That time the consumer rushed way too much for him to handle SDN's UT Dallas.
We might be able to stabilize this, but let me just do it a little too much for a Genji in that play.
I'm just gonna shut that.
Yeah, I can't say it.
He got stolen.
I had a lot of questions for Oblivion and how in the world that happened, but I think
those pigs are still enough to kind of drag this one out.
Oh my god.
And Stella taking that DM perk to great use, keeps them up.
and he can get re-engaged with the rest of the team and catch up with Lobby.
Lobby, incredibly low. That was Eric to worry about too, he just walked over to that spacer, he maxed it.
It's very necessary for the sake of Thuy, but there's still nothing that has been done about Oblivion.
He has been getting final blow after final blow. Absolutely loved this hero, he made it work for the most part.
He's been pulled his blade out, tempted to turn this fight.
Round of NC State's favor, forces the Suzans to lose his life.
Gets a moza in the spot, splice.
I think he could sit or do a primal ray first.
Yeah, don't buy it, too many dead teammates.
Will be another reset for NC State.
Yeah, him and Nellix kind of died in the same time.
I was like, uh, Nellix is going to die.
That's not really a great idea to pop it.
40 seconds remaining here for NC State.
They've got plenty of resources to play around,
but it hasn't really been a game of, oh, what resources do they have?
What can they actually get value out of Dallas has done a great job of adapting after map one?
You're not allowing
All right, lobby's picture both supports to make it look easy. Why don't you and see state only need that consumer
I'm supposed to balance with no we only you do not stand a chance
Against this roster might be looking at the contest with how close these spawns are
But you're not gonna have a doll to do it cause a team kill for lobby by the way
You got a 5k?
That was a 5k.
Wow!
That was all unreal from Lobby.
Well, see, I don't think it touched will go through.
Nope, everybody will back on out.
And add another 90 seconds back onto the board
and they just get stuff.
The spawn's walking before Lobby explains
who's about to have the tag team over there.
But now they have plenty of time to enter into this final phase.
This is when I'll see Phones gonna be in a better spot.
Way more enclosed.
Gold TPS off.
Nano can go with either or on a dollar more than likely. There it is.
Well, one more UCD.
See how they take control of the pace at one point in the map?
This is a great example. I've been taking initiative and finding that proper value out of it.
Good call. Doe, throw that nano on a dollar. A fast reseparancy state.
Yeah, don't have a ton of time to wait, but still enough.
Again, Anti-States really didn't have to use anything other than the nano.
Anti-States are going to build up some of the more impactful ones.
Especially this huge problem to stay up. Bunker Circus, there is an edge here.
Yeah, I'm kind of thinking about that. If this pat-nap can get a ton of value, see what it lands on.
It was our Mosa, kind of dissimidating, but no! Bunker Circus finals!
And the D.Va lives to see another day! Absolute tragedy!
Poor NC State. What a wincon that could have been. Not only 15 seconds.
Yeah, Bunker Circus, like, alright, loose your time. Time to get back into this fight.
Eric's still holding on to this pulse, has been able to mark Lobby, trying to peek on over, but Phone is still lingering with this blossom.
There's nothing to stop it, maybe a poke from Bunga Chunko, but there's no Suzu, deep like their farm oblivion, and that actually is a stoning cause for more than anything else.
UTD's final fight for them, and they're all gonna keep it that way.
Delta Waltz in the back pocket, should they need it, since the Dragon Blade was shut down!
Nice little bit of tech from Splice to charge out and self-destruct!
I just don't think it's going to be enough, both bombs sucked through his back, he goes, kaboom!
And NC State will have to be happy with that progress, about halfway through, point three.
Yeah, but just under half toward third phase, had decent defense there from Uchi Gallus,
considering, you know, how that all started.
But yeah, NC State's doing a no right job.
I was like, definitely this is more of where I thought this series was going to be with
both teams having their moments.
Matt Blunt was just NC State running the table.
But now it feels like this is kind of more to where we were kind of feeling Dallas will
have their moments, NC State will have their moments.
The Winston has left some to be desired.
But it's like if you're not comfortable on the diva, you're going to get exposed
heavily on that hero. You take a look here at the scoreboard, actually 14-3 and 7.
If he was a little bit worse, maybe then it actually has been so far for Splice,
but now Dallas changing it up a little bit. This Zarya being teased for the time being.
I just did also pulling out back to that Maga on Rock. Your favorites.
You know, I can't even hate on it because they tried it for one flight and then it failed
and then they stayed on the on-run the rest of the time after swapping off the bad guy.
That was the part you could hit.
I didn't like that.
Now if you're actually going to commit to this, I'm very curious about how this is going to turn out
because we didn't get, I feel like that's a true taste of what this potential combo could be
but I fear they may have overcooked a little on this one that,
God is going to be on the Zarya.
I think his splice is stomping right now.
It is just burn and burn and burn.
Yeah, dynamite from Lobby, I was the oblivionist place, I'm pretty self-explanatory.
This is going to be, as in, a Q-Rico is an essential pick from Joyous.
You need cleanse for this one.
Wait, it's going to be an awkward, it's not, like, this is something you scream against often, if you're Dallas.
Man, roll of glass.
This is NC State watching the world burn.
In fact, they're going to be the ones to set it on fire, so...
Yeah.
They have to get close enough to do it.
They kind of let UTD get a decent amount of space
over towards the objective, the slice.
Chunked out very early on, had to use the charge defensively,
and couldn't get the combo up with Oblivion in time.
As Protector Suzu gone, the Sengoz, the Zoyi, Lobby
acted as center of the high ground and picked this one off.
That's the problem with UT Dallas' combo.
They don't have a way to get to either Lobby or Nellix.
They're going to be able to hold on to this first fight.
Yeah, it's just Eric, who has to take a very slow rotation to the back side of that high ground to have any sort of pressure
on the Bunker Chunk or Inelix, and that's why you'll see Abdullah have the swap.
Well, hey, because you want the defense majors as well for all this damage coming in, but also that extra mobility and spawn?
You want mobility? Let's have a little bit of a TP party.
I get everybody in the high ground, but twice was Blinding Ground before I'd agreed them.
How kind, or maybe not so kind, as Impala brutally removed from the mech, and still hang on to life for now, but it's got to rock having a baby.
Do you just know it is staggered out of flight to con the lobby of Libyan, making a look that way?
Already half the time they got an UTD look lost against this comp. I cannot lie to you, Molly.
It's just so much dancing, there's so much going on, splashes of faces running to the front of the team, to the back of the team, front, back, front, back.
And there's so much to look at that you will always say have been great from Melix and Bunkerjunker so far
phone make it hero swap number three this time
for phone and
Adventure going to pull up there just to help disrupt a little bit kind of mess up splice and some of these rotates
But it's a little bit harder than what it sounds
It's safer to get thin. That's what I'm guessing the philosophy is the borough guarantees the
the likely safe entry, not a safe exit, just timing of it.
It's still not open to the clean CD.
Because of all those swap senses,
they have a massive old advantage.
But Bunk of Choco leads a coup d'oeuvre
between the eyeballs, courtesy of Dohee.
And it just doesn't really matter too much
that Bob did so much damage
to the scene disrupting their push
and the front line and Lobby continues to try and win.
Okay, well, he was fine.
But it's not Eric, Joe, Bob, Joe, Bob,
I ground, and it was even way more
you needed to be done for the Ashland state.
They're gonna keep this old going,
and we had in the last minute.
Run, Fub.
If I were to really grab Mega,
you'd do Dallas can chill,
but they didn't even get a permanent tech here.
That, I think, is the bigger issue.
This Comrade just said it's so fast,
even if they lose a fight,
they can probably get back in time
for one more minute.
That's an oiled cage that is immediately broke.
That was a zoning cage?
Perhaps?
Reflective BLC?
It's soon I rush,
But either way, UCD making NC State run for their lives and even get Lobby as a prize for it,
they still have both the title blasts and the vermilion ascent to work with.
Neither of what they're going to get from the value though,
you need to be able to touch the point, but nobody's going to touch the point.
Plus, buddy, it's gotta run onto the objective.
I don't even know if this was all that a C9,
because there just wasn't a fight to be had at all.
A dollop throws out the self-destruct to get a fresh map back.
Yes, but take away French status. I guess you'd get it close. Hold on.
What's the point?
I mean, that's the point.
You really said the option of the Cluj touch on this map, huh?
Yeah, almost six bucks.
Uh, that's a good one.
If they were able to try going up, I would tell you to try.
They will hold close here. Three down already.
from UT Dallas and splice trying to bring it back for one more but a bone yet
not really a fan of that plan love the little sound effects by the way with
these yeah with these skins wow chef's skills two minutes though for Dallas
and now bone because of how close everyone is playing try to take advantage
of those walls but I'm not sure how much on these states really gonna fall
are to close this out. At least get the space, but not fully there yet.
Well, with Splice being caught, you can at least get some extra space here for Dallas,
but it's not like this fight is done by any stretch of the imagination. It's going to
be this continued stall out from the Wolfpack and eventually a reset. But now look at this,
everybody is already back. And it's right!
Got a right back in for round two. And they had a death for round two.
Well, at least this time he hit people with the cage fight, so that on its own is an improvement.
Time to listen to him live in as well.
It was just so many eggs and one basket that was already falling apart.
And as I say, I'm definitely going to walk that one back.
Yeah, a little bit of a messy fight Lobby caught out here in the back,
but just trying to live before the time being able to just be left alone.
By the majority of Dells, they're putting more pressure on this point.
Get this cart going. Three ultimates and no more Funkin' Chunkos to worry about for this fight.
No Funkin' Chunkos, I couldn't tell.
Bone just wall off the tracer in the small room, guys. I don't myself that correctly, which, hey, Eric's pretty chill with that.
It means overclock is much safer than it could have been.
Splice, well, as been spliced into.
You see, Dallas, they're gonna keep this one going and have given themselves a real chance at taking away Blizzard World.
90 seconds or so to go about 51 meters.
A very doable situation.
Continue to have Blizzard and Gravitic Flux to play around.
Splice will make the adaptation.
Seeing that the Sigma is here to stay,
so the Rematra will be the answer.
Just playing around the shield, around the corner.
That's really about it right now.
As you say, it's no ultimates to combat this first rush.
No, and if UTD are going to win this, it's going to lose now.
This fight can go their way.
You're not going to get another full ultimate battle, so throw us the Blizzard.
It looks like it's hold on to anybody, go all out of this trade, and that's one that UT Dallas
is not too thrilled about losing out on the support.
Dory does find knowledge across the map, and it's...
Oh, look, I don't think that would come up on the each, but for now UT Dallas,
they're going to take this one away and tie us up at 1-1.
This is the team we wanted to see come back out of the lower bracket.
Comments are hungry. We're ready to go and they take down the wolf pack, but now we go back over to an NC State map pick for map 3
But Dallas stay in as my first non-suite that we've started at least from beginning to end today
We've had a few map wars earlier on but yeah
That was more of the Dallas that we know not letting at the state dictate the entire pacing of this game
playing around pop-off from a dollop, from Joye.
Boing and Erg are a little bit quiet,
it's time to really start to pick it up in the teamwork
during the attack, and it's some great play overall.
Right, lobby, I still disgusting on Tracer, by the way.
Like, just unbelievable on hero.
And as much as I liked, I liked this count more
the second time we saw it, with, you know,
the honoron and the mago.
I'm not in love with it by any means,
but I think it's...
I think I liked it at least a little bit more. I saw what they were trying to do even if it just didn't work at that time
And that's okay. It is what it is.
I guess you get a star for creativity
I don't know. I just don't think that was working and they kept trying to run it and
It's what as soon as you see Dallas or like they're just trying to confuse us. They locked it on the one focus point
It kind of just became no one point
I don't think we saw that synergy between
splice and when splice was engaging that oblivion was also there I think the
validated it nearly as much it just didn't seem like it was getting the
full value of finishing off eliminations it got a lot of people low but the final
blows were not coming through when you needed it and UTD happy to take that one
away that is the only map of hazard bag that we do have it I seriously think
that plays a huge factor in how this map if hazard was there we are in a
Totally different ball game. Oh a thousand percent. I know and just take it to play the hazard the rest of the way
We have to have a score push and flash point remaining. We have yet to get a flash point map on stream today
Which is so weird
My gosh, I am so cheap. I didn't even cheat didn't even cheat you can proof I didn't check my notes
I was like your phone is off. So I know
We've got to get creative for communication today, but nope!
I bet, and this is mostly because NC State, this is the map that they managed to take off
of St. Clair College in the last series, very unexpected outcome there.
I have a feeling it had to do with this Malga, Enron, and the Kiriko Band.
Yeah, Kiriko, and then there's the Maga Band.
Yeah.
Now a shock.
Fair enough.
Yeah.
I don't want to deal with the giant Samoan on Atlas.
Uh, yeah, decent, I would say, good map and good, uh, counter-band there from Daalus.
You know, they're like, they're not gonna play Mawgah.
I don't see a world where Daalus play Mawgah, so...
Might as well just eliminate it from the fray, especially once the Curious Band, like,
that screams that they're wanting to play a similar comp.
Then does Splice go back to the Hazard here?
Probably.
I don't know... I guess first point, I don't like Hazard as much, but...
The rest of it's still fine.
Yeah.
And you can make it work.
It's not great, but you can make it work out of first point
Sometimes that just needs to happen
Yeah, NC States a bit of a rough turnaround
I think for for this team after that math with Blizzard world, they have the opposite problem
I think UTT does where UTT will swap 50 bajillion times. Yeah, NC State
They are not making any changes to their roster, they are full believers of, we can make it work this time, we can make it work this time, or make play style adjustments instead.
There's two extreme opposite sides of the spectrum here, and this one comes up for this map in particular since the Malgo was available then.
I am curious what the strat is going to be now for the wolf pack because it is certainly going to change from that map that took off for the Saints.
Yeah, strategy has to change up at least a little bit here.
And Dallas, look at this.
They're just going to stick onto that Simba, that's how you started working out really well near the tail end of that last map.
If Simba may SIG him off...
So, turn off route.
Yeah, somebody said not to start...
It's kinda back to what they ran in Control Center, uh, Legion Tower.
Or, more of this poke to have the walls and zones people off.
I'm looking so not much!
It's a whole painful, I'm not gonna lie, it's a hap-
I'm not sure what to do for this point, but it is ordered if he is going to get value out of the ignite.
It will be here, especially because there isn't a Suzu-
I don't have to bear with that, but we're still having good fees also, not having a great time either, while we give that shit.
There we go, we're back!
Whoa!
Say, now that he had a little bit of a timeout, but now we're good!
We fixed it, we're fine now.
Everything's good, not the longest.
He is not so good.
not so good place.
Welcome to Chuckle Dope, coming off the thing first time.
Really sticking to Lucio so far today, even if he doesn't enjoy as much as Kat, certainly
a player to be reckoned with will be a trickle as the dust settles and NC State will get
first cap.
It's just like that.
We blink and we miss a fight, but it's fine.
Now he's like, this fight's too good.
You guys don't even see it.
You just need to see the end result as you state it.
Lock it and it's not going to be that hazard that we thought initially that it was going
to be, but now it may have to soon. Considering that it's a Della on Nazaria, which will want
to eat Splice's D.Va for breakfast, but already the Lance Force is enjoying it. Well, now
Goliath is gone entirely.
Alright, lots of cute little feats out of Lobby, and without that main force of healing,
yeah, bonus making to who helps in the battle. Honestly, wait on a passive region to
get healed. All of the people out there can carry less. If he doesn't have
supports, fine. Now, he's still gonna int on the Lobby, and then to pay with
that for his life which is super worth it.
Special Enciestate already had control of this plane.
Now getting a flip onto Nellix would have been great if he didn't have to pay for it with a dodge.
Yeah, if you didn't have to have that as the payment, maybe fine.
But now just one fight remaining here for Enciestate.
Two win, a flash, point one. It's just a win go.
That guy used previously, but now Joey will have one of his own.
I'm looking for a poking around, trying to force out some of the...
Erich, but instead doing slugging it down a bit.
Eh? Almost a flip, but as soon as Lobby rotates in front of the subjectif.
He's actually gonna almost deny the point!
A quick little peek there from phone.
Make sure you, GD, don't move around entirely.
That's a typo beat! If I've ever seen one Buck on Chuck, I was like,
Alright, I know you're getting bet! Let's brawl!
That's exactly what's happening!
and although the first one is basically the same as they started except for a
Jornay with Splice, he does have a self-destruct available though, keep him on his feet.
Oh my goodness, this is kind of his signature Cassidy and he is making getting these shots look so bang-easy
one by one on to Ramosa as NC State shown why they picked Alice.
Roll through the first round, but now a second flash point on the way.
every all it was used their friendship so they've nothing going into this next
fight
heavy advantage for a u.t. Dallas you just set up the wall this is
especially a point where it can be really awkward to go from one side of the
flashpoint to the other
that full time barrier can be really helpful
else eric
has his overclocked
has to be wary of where his splice is
that's just going to pop it those splices with the team best case scenario
just kind of chub through the diva mech and
Pretty much what happens with the drop your shot as you melt through that immortality field and you melt the ball soon after that
The backdash makes it very difficult for the Spice to stay in line for some of the Abgala being on Azaria
I wouldn't say it's just a reset for NC State, but they stick around getting a pick like Go-Yi
These backdash have had a really hard time staying alive and throughout this match so Zaryn, more often than not, is favoring NC State
MC State.
The MC State's very quick flimmed over.
It's not giving up on that flight at all.
And it pays off that time.
And now Joy will make a, I think it's maybe
there's a hot swap to go over.
No, a full swap now.
Do you know where I couldn't tell
if first they just wanted the speed
or if it was going to be a full comps home?
But it will be.
Templar Moore and generic here.
Obviously not running to Lucio,
which is going to be an issue here on Flashpoint,
but you still have that hyper ring to get around.
This state though, occupied through the photon barrier and roughens up Sturridge,
Dahl throws it through the defense matrix.
There is so much happening right now.
It wasn't for this dead eye, I think this ends incredibly differently.
There's one constant in this lobby.
It dwelt lobby himself, hitting these shots with his cowboy.
Making it look so tank easy.
Played up in time, he just slipped the Dahl's head.
In those past couple of seconds, it's just not enough.
He's gonna need more since he don't have a tank.
Splice is taking care of it, and let the end put me in the work on the on-ron.
Wait, I said it, the GPS duo is ridiculous.
First bump, first thing we've seen done, well, on-ron today.
Lobby's just the go-
Yeah, Lobby is one of the reasons why Endgame State has really jumped up.
His cast is so- are unbelievably good, and we're seeing that
in full fashion right now here in this elimination game
for OWCC VAR-CITY.
Now, Oblivion, I know, has the ultimate.
They don't want to use it defensively for a revive.
We have seen it.
I think mostly for a revive, so far.
Which just seems to be the better use,
but without a Suzu in the way,
it might be worth an aggressive push.
I mean, if you already have a phone though,
I mean, it's not a point in using more tools.
Then you actually need to.
Well, we're gonna do a knight, the Dino,
Which is one thing Oblivion does do well on.
The on-ron is make sure that Abola can't stick around all that long on that pick after that swap has been made, but...
Sobby, this is just his nap.
Yeah. Just running around both TPS like,
We're into what we want and we're getting killed and there's nothing you can do about it.
And it's been an issue right for Abola.
Oh, no way.
Is the fence made?
It's been rolled up.
I am very poor at mobbing up the tank, even with the robot.
Team Matrix now for Nellix in the main choke angle.
Good to be able to phone, gave everybody on UTB just enough time to rotate out.
Yeah, enough time to rotate out, kinda forced the Dallas to slow down.
They were wanting to have a counter punch there, but we just put it cushioned to a window like that.
I definitely do not want to be that.
Portal cells are off the mount for UTD and no answer is in that department.
Coming through for the World Cup, there will be the extra damage available
and we'll be fighting up the hard way while Audron is a little sad,
but still have the revival.
To guarantee you are still in this fight after all.
Splice put through the DMACC, but so is Abdullah.
Not the dead eye perfectly, but UT Dallas grabbed the point for a second
Seconds of they need to buy some space the opportunity is there
Jerick also
Clip is just getting low across the map by lobby plus the things ignited by oblivion
There's so much force packed between this NC State DPS duo
And it is going to result in a full sweep of Atlas at this rage only enlarges jet back at the game
I'm just gonna run this thing what on believe who else come on who else the lobby in that one at the state take a 2 1 lead
in the back and forth and maps. Kane continues, but now Dallas, back as it gets to the wall,
already used their one map pick that they won earlier. What can they do this time around
to make the difference? And we'll find out here in a moment, but yeah, you're gonna see
a pretty common trend, I think, with these highlights.
Yeah, this is a lobby hire, I think, real. Let's be so real right now. And this is
the guy who walked for sure on this map.
I had it highlighted from my old notes
from the last time we casted NC State
in this specific event.
Lobby carry highlighted, bolded, it all came.
Everything.
And I'm like, you know, I'm not gonna say anything
because he's like a solid nonetheless,
but this was a performance on another level
from him, his flammable ratio.
Absolutely ridiculous.
And now we're coming out the point
of UTD pick a map that's Cassidy friendly or don't ban the cast I fear the series may be over.
Yeah there's a lot of questions now for UT Dallas of what the heck just happened
and how can we stop that from happening again because if it does it's a top six
finish and your day is done your season is done if you are the comments but it's not
out of reach. We saw map two how UT Dallas can play this close but it did feel more like
like map one there where entry state are determining the pace of these fights and
how quickly they're happening where they're happening everything was
determined by NC State and that just can happen if you're Dallas and you want a
chance of this series that cannot be the case. Now I already have a little bit of
extra time to talk things over. How important this is on the line. We'll set it to a quick break.
Come back with the conclusion of our series UTD versus NC State continuing
right after this.
I
Welcome back to the NACE varsity grand finals event here at Full Sail University.
Eight teams entered the day, Jesse, and we already have two that are ready to go in the
bracket.
It is NC State and UT Dallas who are looking to be the team to go against Winthrop University
in the top four.
And right now it's NC State that holds a confident lead at 2-1 heading into map number four
Yeah, right now it feels like everything is in the favor of NC State
But we saw that after map one and then Dallas was able to come back win map two and even us up
So you can never count out Dallas there. It's even that loves to play when they're back against the wall
This is exactly the kind of spot that they want to be in
but it's also a risk right because you have to win now two in a row even if you win this it'll be in states NC
States map pick for the final map if we go the distance
So it's a little bit of a shaky situation, but obviously we only got a few options left. You got push and escort remaining here
I'm not really sure we were talking about it during the break. I feel like if it's push
We can say GG if it's escort if it's like a Havana. I think this lean even more into this poke
From UT Dallas, I think they have a really good shot. Yeah
And I not even just a poke even just the fact that the pacing slows down because it between control and flash point
The biggest struggle for UTD and they just get lost in the sauce
Constantly the team is not able to make a decision on where their flight is fast enough and to say already there
They are ready to take you down
Whether you are or not an escort and gives you the best chance at kind of combating that specifically but also
Also, it has a greater impact, I think, on your compositions, based on those maps.
We have Rialto, Havana, and Blank, and Watchpoint Gibraltar.
So you have Hard Dive, Hard Poke, and something in between.
Yeah, something.
So, between that and then Rurisapi and Ysperanza, I think I'd rather have UTD take an escort
map.
So not only is the decision less impactful at the end, but you also have a chance
of pushing the series a little further.
Yeah, if I had to pick I'd say Havana, but obviously we'll see what the
I know but like you got to take the risk. You've been playing Sigma all day
That's more than you go like even if you play it unconventional you still have
Your tank on sig with four Abdullah. We haven't seen any sort of Polkkamp. I at least
Main Polkkamp from NC State today
It's been a lot of brawl
brawl like hazard that's another one they like okay I like that that's great I
was kind of hoping they picked it because you have the best of both worlds
maybe all three because you can dive you can poke you can brawl depending on
where you are in the map and the sigma does apply here for Abdullah I think
that's been the best one for this team but far especially if you can get Eric
set up on an angle and my kind of concern number one was jetpack cat so
So that being taken away, well that's no longer a concern.
Concern number two that I guess is now number one.
Lobby existing and probably the single most dominant performance we've seen from a player
on broadcast all day.
Yeah, it was kind of wild how just crazy he went on that last map on the Cassidy.
We'll have another chance here to do something similar, we're still waiting on that band.
N.C.M. from N.C. State.
What they want to do here is say DPS tank are the ones left there or not. They could have banned the Sega.
I was going to say, I think you banned the Sega. I think they had a great call to ban the Sega.
Yeah, I don't think it was giving them much of an issue, but it also throws off that rhythm.
And even back on Blizzard World when that did look good, the Winston wasn't it.
Oh, the Winston really was not it.
You know, I said earlier, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
NC State can do that, but they also do, if it's broke, I'm not fixing it.
Uh, that kind of led them down a dark path before, but they aren't gonna sit back at the D.Va,
which is something Splice doesn't particularly enjoy as much anyway,
so that tells me they want to force the hazard likely from...
Yeah.
Or NC State wants to play the hazard.
I don't know what the heck UTD is gonna do.
Yeah, I think at this point, like, you can play a few different things,
You can just keep the Zarya that's been working here and there you can go to the Sigma that you've shown a few times
Or you can just go something completely different
But we'll get to see here in just a minute what they would like to do it Dallas
I get just want to keep their season alive that is the one I keep giving you guys drops
So I would say if you check you probably
I was the grand majority of them, but no be a fun one here.
Anti-State, yes.
They won't.
They have that mage and they're back in pockets.
This is a map I wouldn't necessarily say we should expect to see a ton of it.
I think it's more likely to see a hazard, like I said, but it doesn't mean it's out
of the question.
I think with this team particularly, we can never throw any idea out considering, you
we were singing Ottawa in the background.
I think that's how books are used to use the language.
By the sound of it, so, yeah, we will...
We'll get that deal. Those were the bands from Last Mat, by the way.
It is Jetpack, Cat, and Diva are the bands.
So those will be updated here in a second.
But, for now for UTD, they're going to stick with what works for them on Blizzard World.
The only difference is DoE, no more on us,
instead of playing the Atty-A-Yardy again.
Yeah, they already worked decent here in there.
Here and there, obviously, Legion of Tower didn't really work out great just because of the fact that we're getting doled all the time.
But here we go. It'll be Anti-State on the attack first, and they'll be sticking to that hazard that we thought it was going to be, at least, right away.
Lobby! Nice little shot, and I'm dolling a star by realizing it's still not worth trying to stick it long-term.
Okay, so, yeah, he'll be fine.
Still with this Genji Tracer, NCC tried this on Blizzard World, which oblivion had a great
game on Genji.
Love his Genji.
Honor on is not it.
I'm gonna stick by that.
But now that Glyce is on this hazard, you're a lot more suprise-able as you can get through
the secretion, which by the sound of it, Adola already threw out.
Floppy.
A bit of a situation over on the side.
It was a scuffle on his phone.
The folks will get out rather unscathed. The phone does take a chip damage, and Eric will bail them out!
Rips off Bunker Chugga mid, attempting the E.R.D. for the first time.
Yeah, they lorry. Now we're in a great, so-called, frenzy state, but still plenty of shy as folks.
It nines up on the personal as oblivion, but can't find the finish.
And Bunker Chugga's already back in spawn, because they are right there, and he has a ton of range to work with on that.
Here I'll start more into the state of Dallas. Just standing here though couple of swaps from phone and do you over to the
May and on up and they look to regroup at a dollar just didn't back up for so long. Yeah
You'll get up living on the way out not having a tank here is going to hurt
Yeah, lobby to so hoax the
Altel but doesn't find anything with the pulse
That'll enjoy this is set right back up when you gotta have some sort of force
to touch the point for the moment being that it'll be phone until Abdulla can get back.
I don't know, I know you.
He does manage to catch that up.
You are close to your googly dick flex though.
If you are Abdulla, and you can stall this part of the point for pretty long,
your few options are go all the way around the side of this little bridge,
which is just an insane angle.
Why are you just kind of stuck here at the mercy of phones,
main the poke from the sigma and get that pick on the bunker trunk of chef that
down lobby does have to back off with a recall but it's so decently heavy commit
we don't even get to see the gravitic flux out of UT Dallas they're just gonna
chill on the objective for now as oblivion plus fancy state it flips the
map entirely this is a new one yeah a little bit new eventually enough to just
to keep your right back out from the spawn of Dallas.
Only 90 seconds remain here.
Like I said, it is a top jungle to push through.
Yeah, I know it's just a little bit of help that,
but I mean, it's just a little bit of covering
in the jungle, just runs off the high ground.
And you'll get a ton of alleys,
but it's just lobby is the one who would have been
standing within.
Already dead!
But if Dull up, just the bush is whiffed
out of the gravidic flux.
Hopefully Bucket Jungle is better.
Like, nope, this eats may well.
Never mind, this is just the game of
I'm not going to hit a single ultimate, and yeah, eventually, we'll start to get some elims.
And now it's going down as much bigger issue in front of our enemy's status.
We are approaching the final minute, and it's basically been one continuous fight.
We have watched no big play, and it is a nice stick onto Erik and Bliggin.
It's time to shine.
No, never mind.
Look at the one.
It is a complete bloodbath out here on Ryoto, and the failout is just chilling.
Keep backing up as a matter of fact.
You have to honestly chill here on the play, making sure NC State does not have any time to push it up through, but for you got no abilities, my friend, but eventually we'll have the icebox just in time.
Lift all this out.
I'm really chilling with the may. I'm sorry, I had to say.
But, NC State, now over to the floor. That will help you break through, and you finally took care of Foe.
That is much less skull and point press before UT Dallas, but once that consumer rush goes down,
now you got a whole lot of nothing to be able to work with, great downpour from Splice,
locked StoE to the ground for lobby to clean up.
But without that sustain, UT Dallas will forfeit this payload after a great attempt at a first point hold.
Oh, a fantastic hold there from UT Dallas, forces it all the way into overtime
and some swaps for instance to get the job done as we now get into second phase.
And so on the Echo note some things have changed while being able to kind of match oblivion in the air,
and the Echo typically is a little bit more consistent in my view.
Typically, yes, it's kind of debatable whether a phone, I think we saw struggle a lot on Lijang Tower against the oblivion Fuara.
I couldn't really tell if they just weren't taking the fights, heads for priorities or what.
We'll definitely be keeping an eye on that.
Now, as this pal is already well over halfway through the second point, and by the looks of it,
it's gonna get going that way. They're even just C-Fo.
They have a swing at Oblivion.
They just fall over with the rest of the comments.
Yeah. Everybody falls down.
You can see Oblivion fighting for his life in the background.
Amoza gets his one, but the one is all U2D will get.
That's a pole, my friend.
Can I get through that one?
Uh, but this cart easily makes its way through second phase.
It will be a touch here from Eric, but...
Oh, good. Well, a little bit of a...
A team block, though.
Yeah, a team block, but...
He was just making sure that Bobby didn't put himself into danger, which I mean, he's been to do that anyways.
It is a touch, but...
Woo!
The club is still trying away from that Atlas map as he has been all series long.
Zachary but it's much on the other hand will land a bucket trying to go barely misses the timing on that sound barrier
2% away to the cost and see state heavily within the final 45 seconds
But lobby is just taking these results and literally that's who may like goes back the back of Libby
It's still alive. We're about to see this DPS duo clutch it out for the second time today to be five
It's just not fair. No, it really is just not fair
what this DPS duo is able to get away with in a lot of these fights and single handedly,
or two handedly I guess, has brought Anti-State into the third phase of this map. Joy goes back
out to the Allorean Elf, trying to bring this home for Dallas, trying to at least hold the
Oh yeah, so finally, you got yourself the great starts.
You know, that was a little close,
and it's a good job to do them alive.
Love it.
A little readable, which is why he will go down.
His trains are pretty decent.
For NC State, all things considered,
they love living in the chaos, especially lobby,
but he's no longer living, so he's dead within the chaos.
That is a current for NC State, taking a reset here.
Wouldn't be the worst thing.
They're pushing into UTD's spawns.
I'm going to go further, but I'm going to be worse.
Trying to push the cart a little bit, but as soon as resistance comes in, they'll try and wait for a sec.
That pulse hits the wall.
From Eric, they're going to want that one back, but still Rush
and the dupe available here for Delos.
Let me have the pulse at his own.
Trying to win that 1v1 throw against Eric is a bomb seal.
Sooner Rush went out at least for a moose of spells.
So that's something that you don't really need to have a GTZ take.
will be permanent.
Bones down, ports snagged on to splice it,
and blocks, small blood,
and disrupts him, that frontal damage.
He basically gains health from that situation.
And you're gonna get a dollar.
UT Dallas running on a few,
who's if that on this final spurt.
All the Realto MCs stay,
and I'm gonna put an end to this here,
and now a triple kill from the splice,
the ceremonial pulse bomb from Lavi.
shut it all down. 19 seconds is the time remaining, but a full cast run relative itself
might be enough to deter UTD entirely. What a nasty pulse at the end, by the way. I know you're
gonna blink. Bye-bye. That was nice and pretty. There are from Lobby's. 2072? That is just not,
that is not right. So I said don't go to an escort maybe because Lobby would be a problem.
Thinking like you know what lobby hits can no
Yeah, that's also been created the series
And only one death was spliced by the way
It's better than the seven on the right boy is fighting demons ten deaths for joy
During this map so far because you've been the number one
Opponent of lobby who will now change it up a little bit. He'll go over to hits can oblivion
Stay on the flex go in the Genji once more
Dallas needs some sort of comeback here to force us to a map 5 or their season is over
That's not as creative as I thought Dallas we're gonna get but I'm gonna wait and see on them
Cuz I don't know if I fully trust it quite yet. Well, we can't talk about Nellix pulling out the honor again
We saw it a little bit on map number one with the jetpack cat
But this time like Bunk of Chunko, so you don't have it on a great peel for an honor on this point
Just kind of rough but UTD depends on how much time they decide to commit to and the answer is none at all
We want to play sort of poke brawl
How's Eric to follow?
Soldier 74
Phone, figure it out
We're good, we're committing
Maybe
You can talk, she's out of spawn
Get out of spawn, yeah
The phone, eventually locks down on the phone
Positive is there's no true hitscan, but let me, with the way the shooting might as well be a full hitscan.
At this point.
And that'll be kind of phone's number one mark here.
You know, Squice is like, we're having a party at here, right? Am I right?
Uh, no you're not. He is strictly removed from the high ground. His phone is getting waaarks face.
On this point, continuing to pressure on Squice, which is a miracle.
But we live as long as he dies!
So eventually, beat him or I'll get him!
And send him back to sleep.
Save him!
Lillian!
I'm shocked!
Again, we haven't gotten a phone so far.
Another one of their signatures.
They're breezing through this first point like it is nothing!
Yeah, bone!
And that's a big factor, isn't it?
But if Dahlia stays on point the whole time,
splice is no way of contesting any sort of the space.
And that is a nice and easy.
First base count of a wide contrast
to how XC state was able to continue all this map. Double the time, going into the second phase,
and now oblivion's like, you want to farm? Let's do farm.
I feel like the time, maybe I have to do something more than just mommy, because that is the experience
he has been having, again, before I was like, blown down to nowhere.
And it's like, does come in to grab the phone. It just doesn't do a ton,
actually, stop this hard project. You get face tank to sigma, as much as that is what will happen.
Half of Blight's alchemy, Blight of an Eye.
The new T Dallas, preventive flux available.
Four of them are Dallas.
Had a good one and a whip.
Hopefully we're on a streak of good ones.
I don't know if he's going to use it more so to get back in a safe position, as a matter of fact.
He doesn't grab anybody.
Just on a Bunker turn, excuse me, Nellix.
He'll time the Suzu on the wall in the back
as he spends so much time in the skies.
Blight's a lobby.
to farm the DPS on the side of angle flanks and I'll be a stabilization for the
World Pack after getting snowballed in first point.
Fly just up to the bleeding eventually, bled out a lot during the first half of
this map, but holds out a point where you can definitely hold the line pretty well.
That is an actual swap from Abdullah. The dual fist is out and I don't know
I can answer your question play yeah, it is a hero of doll has thrown out in the past
But consider her most sorry to say it may be a little bit longer. It's we figure out this
If you're a lobby, I think you're celebrating right now
I think your shots have got so much easier a shield being shoved in his face all the time
And yes, he seriously says he's swapped to the doom fest lobby's gotten to elims
It's about a 10 seconds, which is utterly ridiculous. I
Can understand the key idea here for me to Dallas
The execution I don't think is going to fall exactly how they play it.
Like you said, Lobby, we range now to do whatever he wants.
Bell is not swampy.
I thought he was.
I thought there was a chance there for a second.
But this is going to be a little bit tricky.
I just think now I want to play the full range in the range game and if Bell on this, it is a job.
You see this guy?
See that?
So he gets to shoot these shoozoo maneuver lobby at the 4th unanswered kill.
Sends the doofus sloth, has been made, and almost actually goes down.
Yeah, there we go.
Eric climbs up the wall, takes him out, but it's a barrage of rockets for lunch.
Muti Dallas, yeah, you're still kinda in the fight, but a trade for lobby and your tank is not fantastic.
You need more in Bucket Trumko.
It isn't just that.
That garage now for phone doesn't get it with the actual old but a final hit on the splice
Him
Get some good progress going
Almost on the continued errors as well if they want to have some sort of counter punch to the one from delix
That people use it's a moment to usher in that to stay for one more hole
Yeah, and this is perfect thing to get spliced and basically one shot from moza on the approach
This is stash. God has us challenged!
Oblivion is so far ahead of the rest of the team right now on the side.
Splice!
Can I see if any more staggers can be forced?
Have you got DoE?
Ooh, good concocted blast there from Oblivion.
Allow me to swap over to the tracer once again.
There's like, hey, there's no reason to be so at this point.
Might as well help out more with Amdala on some of these.
Again, this battle went in the far-off duel.
It's going in the favor of Oblivion.
And with the downpour, anti-double blast almost here, rush is held, last fight by Doi available now.
You have more opportunities now when you teach Dallas.
Again, a doll has to stay alive to see it for the next day.
It's actually Olivia now, some key-barking between Fone and Eric.
They're taking him out of the sky.
The horseback almost online for a doll.
It is going to need it.
If you don't have Doi, it will help heal you up for the rest of the fight.
has to fight the fastest thing.
Got a blast thrown on the splice that sets up the play.
The phone up in the air, something you don't expect splice to be contested at all.
Back at my house from Eric, he's been having a great showing on this game.
He's looking to add through his final of bodies, including both supports.
So yes, it is readable, but the spawn disadvantage is just too much for UTD to get the bodies back that they need.
Not enough reinforcements, at least in time, to finish it off.
around 50 seconds remaining just the barrage and beat but there's the 25 away
from her moza and phone and just they have the evokes and available right now
with the pulse and barrage but if you're level you gotta live first that's the
first thing yeah make sure we stay alive actually take the fight we want to
not see night but yeah and to stay hold on a lot of you know he's looking for
or get a stick.
Not entirely sure on who,
because it happens so fast.
I'm actually getting deep at the one in the kill feed phone.
Has that a burst build that you did
against splice on this other one?
Hey, understandable.
It's a trouble he's been causing,
you should eat.
We'll get themselves across the finish line,
but lose most of their time back doing so.
This is a finish though.
Even if they finish,
I don't see it's a 19 second disadvantage.
It's not like it's going to be anything that crazy.
So this one he's gotta focus on finishing
YouTube Alice.
Sound barrier is still here for me, Mosa.
Could counter out that this rush from Delix is taking half of the time, or it can be an
instinct beat from the garage.
There's a chance.
It's going to be an I need to live beat out of Ramoso.
A bowler should have taken that as he needs to live beat, as his health bar is not
doing too hot.
And it's real good, Eric.
He's really stepped it up on this last part of the attack to get some of these
The feeling's going for UTD, but with the Doomfist, I can't stay in the fight for long enough for somebody like Oblivion, like Splice.
Managers are traded out. One more minute for UTD.
Rustle on more Meteor Strike as a, oh crap, I need help.
Button is there for Mdell, but they're going to need more than that, and the oh crap button isn't even going to be used.
It'll be the hazard match.
Here they're in the final phase and I feel like, I don't know, I'm not so sure about this right now.
I feel like the team was kind of working to a degree.
They're just matching splice and his best character.
You do not want to be playing NC State's game. You are in their territory in a fight that you are bound to lose.
It's a risk for you to balance, but a risk is all that they have now.
Eric, first one to strike, slices through Bum to chunk out and it's going to look for more.
Bone has the barrage on line.
I'm gonna look to set it up. It can be the hero for this team, but there's no protection Suzu
available for the rest of the fight. There's a run right on Lobby's head.
Which for a second won't like find it. His panel would need to skip another meter and nobody can get the touch.
Eric is in the squad, denying every single player an UCD.
Squeak it over the finish line. We're gonna finish this map in additional rounds.
This feels right. With this series, here's where we're going to OT for the potential decider.
And to state again, they will start on defense because they have more time to get another look here at the board
41 and 7 now for lobby Eric like you said really started to turn it around
During the back of 24 and 11 for him and phone 13 and a half thousand damage tied with a dollar as well
I just saw oblivion though 16.8 for oblivion 15 to
or splice, but it'll be Dallas. All the attacking, this was the part of the map
though, their attack really went quickly. They finished this one, maybe a minute and
a half, so this is kind of right in that sweet spot. It's NC State who really
struggled on this part of the attack, the first time around, the second and
third phases where they just rolled. So let's see if there's any change of
fake here for these two teams. NC State, they just started on the Ramatra.
Huh probably just trying to hold that closer corner rather than trying to play the high ground with the house
I think the difference this time for NC State too. They were not ready for phones far
No, they had not played it the entirety series did not have the heroes deal with it now
Lobby on the cast oblivion on the four odds and those are two of the best things you could throw at that
And phone I guess recognizes this I want to play me instead which will help with this rematch
Yeah, to help with the ram, you don't need the Pharah, because you know the counters will be there, but it still could work, and I think that's well, maybe I thought for a second that's what it would be. Eric?
Why didn't he even get up there?
I don't know.
Okay, you know, speedrunning from Eric's questions that, uh, we were made unanswered, but good for him.
Again, having a fantastic game on this Genji that another new pick of UT Dallas have shown us through this series,
now 30 seconds just to see how far they can get this payload on the first objective.
Eric bought the first bit of space, but relieved some healing and more cooldowns.
to get it much further.
You know, he's actually gonna fall the bleed damage
of Lobby's Silver Bullet.
Enough for burying him six feet on Gurb.
Without how low of Dalla already is struggling
to walk forwards in this twice.
You just cannot get this payload.
There needs to be in a timely fashion.
Lobby is still trying to away triple kill for him.
A kid!
As NC State lying on this hitstand warrior
to get them through this point that's barely around the corner.
Yeah, this is going to be, well, probably two full fights and maybe a contest needed
from UT Dallas to force us to a map 5.
It's a tall order but not impossible considering how well they played on defense
during this phase of the map the first time around,
but I don't know, it's going to be a little bit tricky during this one.
Let's see what Dallas would like to roll up on,
Yeah, we just obliterated a lot of poke damage during that too, just kind of peeking around the corner,
forcing everybody from Dallas to play safe and a lot of the finishing shots there from Lobby.
Dallas is going to go out of the Sigma to start off and we'll let you go out into the May.
Let's stick it for now once again, a little bit better on the defense.
Instead of trying to push into a space and then block off the sight line,
you're just trying to hold that corner to block off that first or second number that passes on through.
And that's the first time we've seen M-Ray during this map, which considering how all over the place he's been recently,
I'm kind of surprised it took this long.
Okay.
And I like...
You know that you're going to see Oblivion on fire.
So, having the M-Ray good call out of Eric, it doesn't mean you're giving up that Genji.
That was working really well for you to Dallas.
And if you understand of how close that finish line is,
you have to be careful and respect that marker.
Phones can help with that on the main!
We'll see what lobby it's swapping to.
Probably bad, yep.
Someone needs to fill this up.
Pinnas to use...
Actually no, I was about to sit in the hammer, but...
Super Bullet is picked and Oblivion is already...
behind the counter, so it has to play just safe.
Can I get picked off by Eric early?
Jesus, God really knows where Eric is.
No.
That is how far out of the way.
That's the scary part.
Yeah, and that's a problem.
Is it more of a problem for...
Eric or is it more of a problem for Oblivion?
that you can get threatened at any point, but this game is already on the corner.
So much time to go, and Fohen is obliterated by the one-shot combo from Fahris.
Get a second now for Oblivion, that flank angle.
Fletch, Uncant, tested for far too long.
UT Dallas, they gave it their best shot.
They always managed to get their map.
But at the end of the day, it was the Wolfpack in NC State.
That was in control.
They'll guarantee themselves a spot in the top four.
And he stayed top four bound and now we'll play Winthrop in one of those semifinals. I wish them the best
We will see that here in just a little bit actually on stream both semis will be on
So excited to see how they can maybe like I won't put it in the way he is right now
I think they're changing to anybody right now
But I think Dallas a lot to kind of be proud of a good set off here for a dollar after an extremely long collegiate career
And now we get to see, and today we're trying out this new generation that's joining in here in collegiate.
They get to enter into the parade. They're guaranteed a top four finish at this event.
And let's see how much further now they can go.
It's the last send off for Adala. So many years behind this UT Dallas roster as they're tanking, you know, a fight well worthwhile.
It ends up in 5th, 6th, I believe, for the end of it, and NC State, all things considered!
I think they're following the script. We have seeds 1 through 4 currently.
In our single elimination semifinals, a rough matchup against Winthrop
that still feels like a death sentence either way.
But if you can get this momentum going with Lobby, there's a chance!

And welcome back to the Nace Varsity Grand Finals live at Full Sail University.
We have one more team, one more slot to fill for our top four single Elyne Brackett and Cumberland
Bellevue, they've been battling it out hard throughout the time of today. And Jesse, they're
currently in a map five and we are going to jump right in to see how that series will end.
This is the second time today that these two are meeting up. It was a sweep from Cumberland
in the first time. Yeah, I was talking with Cumberland earlier. They said like we kind of lost to ourselves at a little bit in map one.
But then from that point on, it was Cumberland. So now one is something has changed. Obviously, Bellevue won the first two maps.
Cumberland has won the last two maps. We either have a reverse sweep denial or a reverse sweep confirmed here to find our last team in this top four.
What a better way to, you know, there's no better way to do it.
Other than St. Clair and Winthrop, these are the two teams that are going to have the closest level of competition.
Out of everybody else in our bracket, it really could go either way.
Both of us technically predicted Cumberland to do it because for the first time they have Cabe joining their roster.
They played the entirety of the semester with Virtuault, their flex support player on a hit scan.
They had another sub come in to play support for that amount of time, so Cabe is here in
person on land, so he is eligible to play, and they have clearly, we're lighting it up.
Something changed for the first part of that map.
Do they actually reel it in?
I seriously want to see where these maps have been.
Yeah, I cannot wait.
I think we're working on that right now on the map.
Obviously, we weren't tracking it up to this point, because we were worrying about
UT Dallas versus NC State so we get to look at it a little bit closer now but
this is a game again we talked about it earlier is what's going to be one of the
best if not but you know the best game on day one and I'm glad we could see the
end of it here really final spot before you have two more we still got two more
games after this guys again actually got all your stuff connected drops there's
a lot of you it there's been slowly increasing everybody joining in so I
know not everybody's been watching from the start to make sure you got
everything in we got two best of sevens tomorrow as well so we got plenty of
time to get your stuff in, but here we go. So Bellevue win Lejean in Atlas and then
Cumberland go on to win Havana in Blizzard World leading all roads to
RuneSoppy. RuneSoppy to finish it off and I'm very happy with that. I like push
maps especially in these last minute over like I've got last minute like
these high-tensity scenarios there we go that's what I'm looking for and we
We have a Ramatra ban to start.
We have zero idea of what has actually been played.
We know from earlier that Stone was just, I don't know, the best on Tracer.
That Tracer ban in map 3, I think, kind of teases me that Stone has continued that trend.
Yes.
So probably something similar, as it would have been Nody having to match that likely.
But now as we head into Runisappi, Ramatra ban followed by a Kiriko.
So we are forcing a bit of a different strategy, I guess, at least from Cumberland.
They don't want to do that Lucille Keery, they're taking that away from Regime and Hutt, which
is definitely one of their better compositions.
So now it's up to them to decide, do they want to do something that's a little more
off the books, or go to the default backup in Juno Brick?
I think they'll probably go Juno...
I don't know, it's Hutt.
It's weird.
It's a weird situation because I feel like Cumberland run a lot of Sigma.
I think more than any other team at this event, they run Sigma all the time with Perm.
So I don't know if that will continue to be the case here, and if so, like the Juno break, and it can work.
But it's not going to be as effective.
I'm sorry, I'm really excited to see what these two teams watch below.
But yeah, this is map 5 winner, goes against St. Clair.
I think both of these teams actually have a chance against St. Clair as well.
Both teams are not in the same set-up, actually.
earlier this semester. It was the same week. Granted, they did have a player who was a bit
under the weather playing, so that could have been part of it, but both these teams have
a win over St. Clair, and could make it close. And if they're taking this one to the distance,
I mean...
Could happen again. I don't know off the top of my head if it's going to be
that game, St. Clair versus the winner of this first. I have a few lead probably votes.
We'll probably go to NC State Winter Up first, considering that this game's won the
longer. But we will let you guys know as soon as we do on fact, because we got two more best of fives,
still on the docket. But let's see, I don't see... Stone is when you want to make a big
addition to it. Like, it's fantastic. As long as even a room
mostly cools to how well they were playing earlier today, it is going to be stone as one of the
big factors in this one. I think for Kamala it's just kind of a team play, right? That's
kind of been a red butter, let virtual be a little bit aggressive on some of these as well.
Well, the stone's paid, so I'm not, that's a million percent paid.
Well back to that topic though, I think on paper, I would favor stone over nobby.
Nine times out of ten on Tracer. On Tracer, yeah.
On Tracer. But ivory and cave on the other hand, that can get interesting.
Because with how well ivory's been playing today, matching up with cave's usual,
that will be something to watch, but both teams, actually no, one Juno Brig,
the one Lucio Juno to come out from Belvedere.
So does speed, speed, speed from the Bruins in this one.
So not as much the staining healing,
which could be an issue against Cave,
as long as those nades land,
but it will allow Belvedere a lot more rotations
than Cumblin can avoid.
And not to mention, you have Curm on an Orisa.
It's sorry that he was walking right now.
So it's more healing power against Nody
should it actually be needed, helps cover some of the javelins,
and you can just mow through Gorm's health bar
if you get, you just stick around too long,
and it is actually stomp, you fall as first,
get the whip shot from Chef.
Rebellio, yeah, and I think they had a little bit
of a slow rotate on the start.
The cutting down side of this comp
is you do not have great sustainable healing
over a long term, comparatively.
And you have no answer for anybody
in your backline either, right?
And that's why Regime will make swap over
to the brig, the flails are gonna be so big in.
That is a MAGA from a CURVE.
I don't think I've seen Cumberland play a SON of MAGA,
but I'm not totally shocked at this team trying to run.
I don't blame them?
No.
I mean, end of the story, I think it makes a ton of sense.
Oh, yeah.
But...
We just haven't seen it from them at all.
Yeah, it's weird, but it also goes with their idea of Cumberland Thrive's best,
which not just the individuals are doing well, but they can play as a team.
That is what has made the stand out.
They're their current highest peak in the semester, power rankings number six.
Right now, of course, Beldie was number seven, so not that far behind at all.
That was why we're seeing these trades go back and forth.
Even as they do, Converlin seemed to be firmly in control.
It's only Stone that is making this as rocky as it could be.
It comes up with a second now.
Just give me a third in the back line as I freeze.
We lose that through.
Beldie should have got down to that almost instantly,
but Stone did it so much for the Bruins.
and he will almost single-handedly turn that back.
The 9 out of 10 fights, when you lose both of your supports before anybody else,
you're probably losing that fight.
That's the 1 out of 10 that you don't.
Bellevue go big with Stone,
flipping around to 9 forward spawns by Cumberland,
and Pulse-Moron has to use during the middle of the chaos
as well from NoD to no avail.
Stone now has one in his hand, looking for it,
but kind of just waiting to see where Cumberland even want to play,
but also waiting for Avery to get back into the fray,
considering how late they died or during that last fight.
Yeah, to give some more time for that to get back,
you can just do a grass-pulls combo with where these fights are,
but it's actually the proper way down first that Ivory hits out virtual through,
which is impressive, and on the last rally up from Chef,
stuns up Rajeem alongside Thirm charging into the flight.
You don't even get to see their gravaton surge come out.
It was Kimberly who pulled the trigger first.
Yeah, both support ults, and even though you lose virtual early,
which went nice shot from Ivory.
The rally just uses a backup option,
continues the fight going,
and Cumberland will continue pushing on forward.
But the upside of you and the Bruins,
you know we get to use an ultimate during this map.
Which, good, you gotta start using them at some point.
Everything but rally is already up,
and that'll be up in just a moment here from regime.
It is just how many do you need to use
during this fight to start turning the table
and start turning the time back on your paper?
Well, you get there,
not the ones to start this off.
Overwrite protocol, combat out with a cage flight, which broke and grabbed a quick.
The game still gets the damage done.
From the bus, Ramaton Surge went out, because there was no pulse bomb to combat up with him.
We saw nothing, so the answer to question Jesse is, four ults for a fight loss.
Yeah, that's like worst case scenario.
Ah, right there, if you are a Bellevue, immediately the cage fight isolates Avery,
and I think it was Hotch- I mean, in there it was stolen, one of the two.
immediately forces out a response and then nice override protocol to pair with
that the pulse on the regime the rally lasted a second maybe so so much
resources gone and now this bike is sitting in a push up board 90 plus meters
already every clock out some sort of angle and a pole bell be back into the
skating but they've been bleeding out and appears they're gonna continue to
to do so for this roster. The adjustment of all these roster changes, they're not going
to have players back in time. And Cabe is farming through them. We talked about that
matchup between him and Ivory to start. It's 100% in Cabe.
Yeah, Cabe's been owning it so far. And Ivory is just trying to maybe win something back
here with the Widow pick. Trying to force away Carmelin, not allow them through this
final archway choke, but eventually we'll go back to swap to the Sojourn once again.
I don't mind they are still here, doing at least a better job of countering out Kerm, but Kerm is playing unreal right now and I hear that again, we've maybe seen him play once this entire semester.
The Cumberland's been playing so hard to get themselves to this point, to this map and perhaps one of the strategies they have perfected more as of late.
IvoryYes does get their name in on the headstand duel, but nobody on their team is able to do the same, so it'll be an almost clean team right now.
For Comberland, they'll be fighting in Bellevue's spawns.
And they have Orbital Ray to enter in.
Hull Spum to answer anything from Bellevue.
Ideally on the Hutch or Regime, yes.
Ston has a pulse as well.
We'll try and find Chef with it early on.
But it's a lot still needed.
A Hutch is the target, but just missed by Naughty.
And he'll have to give up on that one.
Ston's still holding onto this pulse himself.
Where's the good opportunity to pull it out?
Okay, there you go. That's a nice one.
Okay, when he wasn't looking.
And then I'm just going to Avery.
It helps out the frontline too.
So even if you end up losing both supports here,
Avery did way too much along with Avery
in that front side of the battle to respawn.
It'll get you back enough.
And Jesse, we are about over actually halfway through this point.
And there's Kermis likes someone behind here.
I need a force to save her to use the Terra Surge, and he's...
They still die. They still die.
That was the burn damage.
Rough.
That's rough. That's not all you want.
Beg rants, not like Terra Surge is going to win you a lot of fights.
But it keeps you in a lot of fights, and it didn't even keep Avery in it for this.
And now, Krullin, with plenty of time to play this close before...
Yeah, they'll be with no tank. They can't even get it remotely close to it.
And yes, title blast to go off the stone is almost here, but you need a lot of fights to start going your way pretty quick to do the rules.
You have a case fight though. I don't think there's any way for Belvedere to get out of that with all of their members in the tact in hand.
Ivory, Bilgevall, Kermbaks up just to play it safe for other ward off Ivory who's attempting to put pressure on the chef in virtual.
We're just right back to where we started. Belvedere needs so many consecutive fight wins.
And they're just not getting it. They have no ults to do it either. Both DPS ults now available for Cumberland and they will get early positioning through this choke.
That's one of the hardest points to do it.
Both Bob misses on regime that time from NoDi, but overrides protocol still on the hand of Kayv.
Usually the idea is you don't want to use ultimates at this point.
They might.
Unless you already have something to go and Kayv says, you know what, let's do it.
I think I can win this fight all by myself.
Get the shield.
So, like that counts for something. It means that every is no longer for this world.
Once I create, excuse me, caves or curbsets in, there we go.
Comfortland, on the other hand, down two, and this is kind of why we say don't invest into these fights.
The fights by the time makes your Bellevue expend their resources.
You're not gonna get it all the way through at 95% of the time.
That's illegal. That's a legit two-exit pit.
That's just ridiculous.
I don't I do like the Sigma pic here from Avery as long as you can keep the gap
Which that last fight didn't necessarily do that, but sometimes when you have a giant someone running at you
It's a little bit, you know harder it harder stuff than John
Easier
It's hard in general.
Yeah, yeah, well, maybe not with that.
Overclock, crowd of ivory on the high ground,
which sets up the delination on the ship perfectly.
Bellevue, oh, the map on it!
What a shot on the virtual, too.
And this is good where Bellevue are taking this positioning,
because they will be able to cancel forward spawns
before everybody gets back up.
Yeah, Kerm and Kaba should probably get forward spawned.
You might be a little bit closer here.
He knows it!
That is a clutch touch from NoDi.
That'll give their tank and hit the DPS duo.
Close swage and that'll completely turn the pace of his one-minute-to-go Bellevue.
Garrus, they need six flights in a row.
It's going to be rough.
And they've added another one.
Do that because of that touch from NoDi.
Yep.
Over the rain for virtual, you have no answer for.
Alright, your best hope is building up Avery's Go-Vidic blocks and surviving long enough to see another day.
And Cucklin, they're fine with 40 seconds left to go.
They were definitely Matrix elves, and you already did big shifts, so this orbital ray needs to do quite a bit.
Because there's no supports now on the side of Cucklin, but same goes for Bellevue.
This is an absolute scrap of a fight, but Zone seems to reign supreme as the dust settles,
But there will not be enough members of Bellevue back to fight Cumberland.
No, Hutch goes Juno just to give speed, I think to regime as they're coming back out, a swab, gotta play this slow, if you're a Bellevue.
You will have a touch here from Stone, it's not like that is going to be the warrior, it is just having an actual team fight.
Before this map is done, you have Gravitic Fox and a title blast to play off of.
Oh my god.
Yeah, well I have the touch to come on in, that's what the Tracer will be good at for Stone, and you stall him.
So far away.
I did the pulse bomb! I didn't even get to get to the fight as he's every cool down!
Before you touch the robot, which needs to keep happening,
Shadow for Stone, just hip toe in, hip toe out.
Though it buys both of you another chance, played it smart,
but also, since it was the Conflict, they were going to have this cage fight!
Over-Ike's own is going to tumble up in no time!
The Gravitic Flux is absolutely nothing for Kermit,
who can just encase himself in a shield!
Bumble! They thought it was over, but the Phoenixes
will rise from the ashes and get themselves into a top four finish, reverse sweeping Bellevue.
The reverse sweep that clings to top four finish for Cumberland.
What a result and I can't imagine, they are another one of the, oh they are loud, teams at this event.
I can't imagine the scenes right now at the live venue.
It was such a gap created here in the beginning in the first half of this map
Bellevue was better on the back end, but it's so is way too much for them to deal with. It'll be a top-six finish
But honestly, this was the group of death for this event. I still think Bellevue can hold their heads high
Considering how well they played today
Just didn't have enough in the tank to finish it off here on map 5.
By far the best performance in a single day I've seen from Stone.
And I really hope you just keep up on that or Melvue.
Yeah, it is going to hurt.
You got so close just to get reverse swept at the end.
So getting the revenge on a team that swept you just a few hours prior.
No, they will fall short.
Cumberland University leaning into Cade, having him here at this event,
is a huge asset.
Again, wasn't able to play in the regular season due to the requirement
being on campus to participate but because he was able to travel down to this event you can see
it is like night and day between the convalent then and the convalent now. Yeah even like that series
itself right first two maps like man what is going on? Bellevue just running it with Stone
and again like I said Stone is one of the best players of the day for me like he's been unbelievable
and there are a lot of highlight real plays from him today but Cumberland just woke up during
in the back half of that and that is a scary team now.
You hold that momentum into this next series.
Great and I think we're probably waiting for them
for a little bit.
We have this first semi to play through,
but that can be a scary team
when you have this much momentum going into your favor.
We take a look at the bracket now
for you guys.
Group stage is complete and we have pretty much
gone shock.
One, two, three, four all in.
And even though that opening round is a little bit,
you know choppy a lot of 3-0s.
Look, it's 3-2-3-1 of 3-1 during these decider games.
And now we get Witherpenssey State, St. Clair Cumberland,
to go into it now in the next phase.
Yeah, this is, okay, Witherpenssey State,
that might be a little chopped.
But St. Clair Cumberland,
depending on if that series is next or not,
I think is going to impact the outcome,
Which is a crazy thing that I have to say.
It will not be next.
And I do fear for Cumberland that that is enough time for them
to cool down off the high of getting that reverse sweep
against Bellevue.
And I say that as a bit of a high.
I think this team, they're very critical of themselves.
Look at all of them over there.
Yeah, look at that.
Happy NC State family that they have.
I believe they have another team, or not NC State,
Cumberland family.
They're same colors.
I got it.
They're black and red.
Same idea.
They are such a tight-knit group. They are like family as many players of the team have described it
And it's great to see them get to this moment
I think they're gonna kind of kick themselves for going to five maps in the first place
But I think having that mentality of we just reverse swept up team. Wow. There is some sort of like
I don't know chemical that is released in your body at that point. It's just to relieve like oh my god
We didn't choke. Oh my god. We actually did the reverse sweep. It is it's such a great feeling and
Now we get to see like you said if they can carry it on obviously they'll have a little bit of time here to kind of reset
St. Clair is probably very happy that government have time to reset
I would not want to be saying Claire going against that type of team
But now we get to go into the semi-final two best of fives to decide our grand finalist for tomorrow first up
The favorites win through up University going up against NC State
Can Winthrup make that final with NC State hole one of the upsets of the tournament?
Well, that coming up right here in Orlando.
My name is Ryan Merke Mojica.
I am a coach at George Mason University eSports called duty team, and I am a computer engineering and
computational data science students. When I first needed the car
I was 18, I was straight out of high school driving a Chevy Suburban up 45 minutes in rush hour every day
and I kind of just got to a point where I kind of wanted something a little bit more enjoyable.
And this was actually in the same building that I worked in, you know
I went to my dad and asked like okay
We like I want to do this when we get a new car and he said like all right
Let's go over to in touch. There was a lot of uncertainty going into this process
I was expecting a lot of paperwork a lot of numbers early understand kind of how any of this works
The first thing we were talking to was actually a car guy, so he was almost like really excited
He's like yeah, you're getting your first car
You know what are you getting? Having a car really helped me travel for e-sports events and not only that
It just gives me the ability to be the team dad
I give my players rise, get the campus for NAIS matches, and just supporting the team in a bigger way that I wouldn't be able to before.
Many NAIS students are looking for financial tools, resources, and support from people who care.
I recommend checking out In Touch Credit Union. With graduation coming up,
I honestly don't think I'd be where I'm at in my financial journey without them.
I
8 entered and now only 4 remain for the Nays Varsity Collegiate Overwatch Finals here at
Full Sail University as we are now entering our single ELIM playoff bracket. Winthrop University
will take on NC State for the very first slots in that grand finals tomorrow.
Yeah, and it'll be a juggernaut here for Winthrop, they've yet to lose a game here
in varsity. Now we get to see if they get to continue that trend forward. Against NC State,
which again, they looked a little bit shaky against St. Clair. They really started to clean
it up the back half of that series against U2 Dallas. So now can they keep that forward?
Obviously, teams, it's not like, oh, we don't know if they're going to run the
jetpack at Bastion. We haven't really seen that as much today. We thought we maybe would,
but a team that is going to at least try cat comps in general is going to be NC
State courtesy of bunker choco might be one of the best cats here like I think
we have a cat off between him and rack I was gonna say out of the two teams that
could play cat these are the two team rack attack are definitely the two
best equipped to be able to do that me as we look at this and stays and see
state roster they have been the uprising story of the semester came
out of absolutely nowhere in the fall for the open bracket, ended up finishing top
eight, got themselves a spot in super conference for the spring semester and
lighting it up since then get first year as a varsity team for the squad. And the
fact that they've managed to put up as impressive numbers and results as they
have without a coach, mind you, is just ridiculous and a statement to the
talent of these players. The two highlights for today
easily been lobby on this Cassidy. Some of the biggest carry
performances we've seen on the hitscan and him and oblivion
together are a duo to be terrified of. Yeah, the highest,
you know, highest performing club team in the country right
now. Yes, now they're varsity, but they're still non
scholarship. So I kind of put they're in both really right
now. But yeah, they're the highest placing one in the
country and for a good reason and we get to see why. But
their opponents, you will recognize a lot of names if
You know what you gonna be see yes, there's some fantastic players on here is Zera infected
Ultraviolet look at those three media's like guys like hold up
And they got rack and Sam as well to round out the five
It's a disgusting team like just across the board. We were kind of talking about the
During that you see NC State versus UT Dallas series that you know, it's kind of a death sentence either way
You're either going home now top six or you face went for brown run of a single you in the playoffs and
This is why for those of you who are wondering every single one of these players has a multiple years of experience at the highest level of
Competition in O WCS the reason I say we are not just talking about the best in collegiate
We're talking about the best in the region. This is why this is the team right here
them and St. Clair and then Northwood who we'll be looking at tomorrow in the open finals
are the ones to be reckoned with. And mind you Jesse, when their university are already
in those open finals against Northwood, if they beat NC State now, they'll have two
back-to-back best of seven series to play.
You'll have a lot of overwatch tomorrow. That is for sure if they can finish the
job here against NC State again both games tomorrow best of seven series so
that is gonna be an interesting one perhaps we still got some semis that we
have to deal with first and it'll be an interesting one here to say I think
NC State they have to hit the ground running if you let Wink them really start
their stride this series is going to be over but if you can catch them really
momentum figure it out from there then there is a chance for NC State to
pull off probably the upset of the tournament so far.
I think I would almost be an understatement with the matchup
that we have at hand.
And when I look at NC State, if we
can have an Oblivion lobby performance,
and maybe Winthrop isn't fully prepared for the Jetpack
cat comps, I'd say maybe.
Maybe there's a chance they get a map.
But that's not a map.
Winthrop University, if you don't count the one
they technically dropped it to Musa
because there was some slight trolling going on,
have not dropped a map in the entire regular season and not one dropped one today and may
keep that streak up with the way that they are going.
But before we move on into our next series, we've got to talk about one of our partners
for this event in GG circuit, their proud sponsor or proud support for NACE at this
year's Grand Finals, showcasing some of the best collegiate eSports programs in the
country.
behind every great team is the right infrastructure.
That's where they're going to come in.
From player management and secure labs
to tournament operations and remote support,
GG Circuit powers the infrastructure
behind every match, every scrim,
and every championship moment.
You simplify the technology
so schools can focus on what matters most.
You let the coach coach, you let the players compete.
Well, they'll take care of the rest.
If you're building or scaling your eSports program,
make sure to connect.
GG Circuit is ready when you are.
So many things that go into an event like this wouldn't be possible without fantastic partners like this supporting our
Collegiate programs throughout all of nace the top eight here in
Overwatch along with the two other game titles that are currently playing or rather
I believe finished up for their side judging by half of an empty room
It is only overwatch that remained in several players
To keep up on yeah, I think maybe some codgames still going on the way back
But we got pretty much a lot of the games are done for today. We're still going here
We still got another at least two hours or so about at least what two more best of five see how we're doing here
It nice and then we get to see if it's just a what they got behind them here
Still obviously got a little bit of work to do they want to continue this run already the best performance
They've ever had in an event like this now. They get to see how much further they can go
So, of course it's Leisurentower to start. Where else would we be starting in Collegiate?
It doesn't seem like, well we get Ilios sometimes, but not in the map pool today.
Winterbiz the higher seed and they will ban out the D.Va to start.
Every single series we have gone to Leisurentower to start and D.Va being taken away.
That is a ban from Winterbiz and I think Splice is okay with that.
Splice doesn't really like the D.Va too much.
I think he'll play it if he has to, but it's never the go-to pick for NC State.
Sengos for Winthrop, infected in D.Va, don't exactly have the best relationship.
No, not necessarily.
Uh, not necessarily here.
But now we can see what NC State would like to ban in a return.
Uh, I don't think it's going to be, I don't know, it's probably going to be a DPS by the guess.
He ban out the Emory, they didn't really play a ton of Emory.
It was more of the sojourn that they continued to play or just no hitscan at all kind of that double flanker comp
Is it's kind of the weird thing with winter too? They don't have a dedicated hitscan player
They kind of had usually it's Sam. They've also had Zara play like it really just depends on like what Joe is coming out
Sometimes whoever someone might be more comfortable in a hitscan on one thing and the other
Sam has mostly been the Emory player and you know, I feel like in the past. He's been
like kind of angled as one of more of the weaker links of this team but on this
specific Emory pick I feel like he's had much more of an opportunity to shine
NC State agree with that and we'll go ahead and ban it from that number one.
Yeah just bye bye Emory and that screams like yeah it'll be the double
flanker going up here for NC State at least more than likely with the
hazard potentially it's not something that we've seen Winter play a ton
Granted, it's not like, you know, I don't think Winterbush really needs to play it necessarily.
It's not like Haz is a must pick right now by any stretch.
But it could work in a map like this, by NC State.
They want to keep this dream alive, Molly.
They want to keep going.
They want to find the upset, get into that day to that championship Sunday here at
Full Sail.
They have quite the, the tall task ahead of them.
Winterbush only dropped two series the entirety of this semester, both the North one.
So, it's going to be a really tough ask this time around and again it was a sweep for Winthrop when they've met the regular season.
Let's see if anything could have changed too much here for Etsy State to beat them over the next one.
I ignored that Winthrop when we got to talk to Weetsville, the British.
Because of the players in the BCS Cup, it wasn't very confident that they got to sprint maybe once or twice a week maximum
Throughout the course of the semester, in the last two weeks since ODBCS played outside of Bracket Up,
every single day they have had a script. As this roster, they wanted to give themselves,
put their best foot forwards, heading to this event,
and only that North was the only team that they lost to.
They want to keep it that way, but also change that narrative as we head into that open bracket for tomorrow.
Now, as NC State, they will find in their way,
And the only team that is left that will play out of pockets picks because Lucille was banned.
Uh, will Bunkachunko actually play the Jetpack Cat this time?
I think so.
I think I'll do it.
I think I'm right.
Yeah, I think you're right too.
The Rack is also on it.
Oh!
This is great.
I love this.
This is great!
But Bastion!
Yeah, so we were talking with Rack.
Actually, surprisingly, when we got to a hotel yesterday, Rack was there.
So we just caught up with him for a bit.
And he said yeah, there is a decent chance. We at least try the jetpack cat fashion and it looks like that's going to come true
It's not something that either any team has had chances to practice because this is that new other idea coming out of
OWCS Korea and when throughout one of the few that want to get it shot between rack attack and bucket chuckle by far the biggest
threats on jetpack cat you're going to find in oblivion already in for a surprise chuck below
050HB and Zera in to finish him off with a good old fist-to-face action.
And with her also having been infected on his wrecking ball,
I think he's the only player in this tournament that had to make that hero work.
Due to a decent amount of success, Will the Pointe stay in their favor?
Slobby got the dip on Zera on that first part, and even gets Ultra Violet on the side.
Which, to talk about how this guy's been carry for NC State, clearly that's no different here.
Yeah, not changing too much.
This time, Sam just trying to fly away from Splite,
but it will be the flip going in for Anciestate just 13%.
But they're not done with this fight quite yet.
Zara has returned from the grave, and given it a revenge on Sonellex.
Ah, yeah, there you go. Same thing goes.
Undezert, who's really had a tough start.
I think through this game, a lot of attention given over to him,
and Anciestate managed to get out of the flip,
but also lead on this objective. Neither team has much point presence, so once the team has capture,
it'll often be a while before we see that change as a full fight when it needs to happen.
Lobby does fall to the flying bastion. Same with Bunga Choco, so wind throughout, much more stable.
Just trying to get those few extra percents here is NC State. Try to build any sort of
advantage they can, but it won't be for very much. And now artillery barrage strike here,
For Sam, I don't think you can do anything about it.
I don't know. I think I've seen it done before.
But we will have to wait and see.
And that actually becomes the case.
Because UV is incredibly low.
That's a violent, nihilist, down, down, an arm on that guy.
Landing on the Sam at air, oblivion's air for the rest.
And all things considered, NC states are making this work.
And that's a nice little split.
Okay, guys, guys, guys, that's a little much.
What did Infected do to you?
That's my question right there.
Pulse, sleep, Bionate, Stickies, everything thrown in.
But the Kitchen Sink from NC State,
but they still have every other ult,
but Pulse, Winterf will be the same.
There's everything but their support ult,
though they're soon to follow here.
This haven't really had a whole lot of healing needed
throughout a lot of this round.
And do you really have any high-impact ultimates,
I think, for Winterf University, the minefield?
It's in its own space, but you're not really looking to set up a plank off of any of these particular tools.
It's more on that Natalie's catnapper when those come on up.
Actually, the nanoboos out from Melix burst plus Bonkachunko, so those the portals are the ones that will be infected.
Don't into the abyss there off the side of Lijiang Dower or that little cat guy.
And here's some jetpacks pouring through off the side of lobby to give him support.
and fighting Zera, who's actually been on the losing end of this tracer duel.
That's what I thought I would be saying today.
No!
Not at all what I thought, but...
And I think in that last fight, Zera actually just got dropped off the edge of the map by a rack on accident.
Whoops.
Uh, but here we go.
One more fight here for Wintermore.
I just think they could steal away Nightmarket.
The new Xenia is available now, and if Zera's not at a rough time, well...
Give him a bit of a...
Oh, that's a lifting boost!
It is BOTH on us down!
You have to stick on a splice, but it's a hazard.
You will get no damage taken through the blocks.
We might as well just throw in a ball of wet paper
at him for some reason.
Racket comes up Catnapper, and is keeping this point alive,
going in and out, and working overtime.
Someone else needs to get a touch, and they are there,
but no, the Catnapper will go wide,
expected to come up with a clip in,
and a point clip is confirmed.
NC State is close to staying for her.
Will manage to fall apart through this last bend
What's up, finally? What?
And you say, trying to give up on this, but I think, yeah, it should be giving up on it.
This plane lobby will pay for his crimes finished up by Zara, but a beautiful sleep by Ultra Violet.
Now, we're at the, alright, let's go again, Sam.
Up he is. Let's go.
And no ults for anybody.
And mines from infected will be the only ults that could actually help a lot with just holding down this point during the final stretch.
Mind-field is most effective in these more desperate situations we have to play at the point.
Which NC State's comp doesn't care about who too much till that time or forces it to care.
Artillery strike will also be up for scams.
Without Nellix, it's gonna be so hard for NC State to stay alive in this oblivion.
Does fire back to make sure it isn't even trade.
Neither on a been long for this world any fight we've seen started.
They're just getting scrappy, no supports available.
Four wind thrusts and ultraviolet has to come back on the loose yow of all people.
Just to keep this point alive,
Density State are in control, the minefield,
Spike Care let's clear down the important ones,
make sure there's a nice safe little batch in at the corner,
down for and how to throw it out.
Or Space Sniper actually catches onto Sam,
but nobody else is around the point to follow up and deal the damage necessary.
So these guys have wind thrusts,
they're actually coming up here,
Plus, Ultra Violet is dunking on Nellix with his Lucio, and at the end of the day, Winthrop will come away with the night market win, but much closer than anticipated.
Just a little scrappy. Just a tad scrappy from these teams going in.
But that was kind of the gameplay that NC State needed, right? They needed to cause a little bit of chaos, cause it to be a little more of a death match.
And great, that's kind of the same comp that, you know, same style Winthrop wants to run in this comp.
But it's kind of playing right in the NC State's hands and that's why we saw it be 100 to 99, but still in favor of
Winthrop.
Look, yeah, of course, Sam will get flown around like that 11, 1, and 3, and it'll be held on to for now
by the Bastion, and now at C State. See if they get to find something different. They're back to the Moga, but to your
happiness. No honor. No honor. That makes me very happy. You have no idea how happy that actually makes me on this point.
It is not works other than that one time that really wasn't going on doing anything
But so for now it will be back to that echo which oblivion has been doing fantastic on these flying characters
And bend the way to go
Sending a bunch of Chunko before this full flight and loads and lobby
You know good attempt, but that is just not a fight. You're gonna win buddy
He has that flying bastion all the healing coming in from a rack attack
No DPS
I guess last stage effort from the splice to get it on to this point
No, you won't have the damage to back him up until just be on an island to run back to his team as we've got get first
You can tell lobby during that a first words now a trace very frankly, so
Just come back and I like oh, there's no other story here. All right. This is this is fun
Now this me where this bastard can really shine you just hide around the tower and it's floating around that there's not a whole lot
Nancy's state is going to be able to do in a lot of these positions
He tip of his wing peeked out from around the corner and just they do get a flip
I'm not entirely sure who was on that point like we'll be short lived by the looks of a rack attack
I just get a little bored being the taxi here says, you know what? I'm gonna go for my own drop off snacks
Now, I'll be about 13% frenzy stay a
Little bit of garbage time there, but hey sometimes that little bit of percent can be a major difference maker
But right now. I'm not sure if that will be necessarily in the case
Just a lot that is needed.
Lobby goes to Widow and that immediately makes Raktek play a slightly different angle for a few moments until Lobby now goes over to the Cassidy.
But still a lot to be desired here.
From NC State at least the Nana was online to send on whoever they please
What a play from Nellix to set that up
for Lobby and NC State
Isn't that shot shot that he has the opportunity to do so. It's quite slow not having as much of a great time
There's just not much you can do as a Valga against this team and in this comp is that?
I found a little personal. I'm not gonna lie.
It's like, okay, you're really gonna get nanos, you can kill me, alright.
I have a catnaphing with a name on it.
And because of that, as he said, I have to back off.
They don't really have no firepower left in the catnaphing, Mrs. Bunkochunko.
And no extended.
And no, and...
Maps up.
That might be done.
You do have lobby respawning with the dead eye and compling that with Bunkochunko
It's an option and perhaps the only one NC State have turning this around
I don't know how you're gonna find anybody on this somebody so such the point
It's gonna get pumped and support
Mid air settles them down doing early grave
There we go splice finds himself on the objective. I'm gonna flip over for NC State
It's the flip and still cage my dupe to play around here for NC State. It's a winnable position
Depending on how they go up out of this the cat bastion is just so funny
Hey, but it's so awkward to play against as well, and even though, yes, Lobby can't have a little bit of fun
getting flown around, but it's not going to be as useful as consistent as Sam is on this Bastion,
but I'd say that nice little silverboard shot on the Ultra Violet.
I'm not really going to do a whole lot of that.
Ooh, look, Ziggy Mom's definitely hurt Sam!
He had an easy duple kill, and then the power out of the park!
Many things, a wrecked cat that has scored him right on out, like a little cat babysitter, maybe a cat sitter, I don't know, we'll talk about that later.
Now though, that is ultraviolet under massive fire, he won't be able to escape that beautiful place by oblivion, and value out of duplicate escape, only one ult for a fight with.
Yeah, solely one ult used, they got cage rights, play around, and the rest of your ults are soon to come, but with them, they're not a similar spot, but they already have this nano.
It depends if it's to go on a Xera or just on a Sam once again in the air.
I like the Sam idea, but it didn't work out too well last time, so maybe I'll just try it again.
That might be a little more consistent, although he doesn't have a ton of shit boosters to work with,
so we've got to make this count while I can.
No T.P. Orsuz or on Nilo T.G.O.'s Kablu, we followed by Lobby,
and he stated he's a lonely Moga with a cage flight,
and perhaps some cat napping, or some actual napping,
because they're asleep on a splice.
We'll eventually make it to the objective to stop the flip for a second.
The cost of his life, no K-Tripe to be seen, but the Chunko can't get a touch on this objective.
But for now it is just the cat.
Drafts a picture off the map, let go, he can't get another touch.
Zera stands in a way, blasts him with a rocket.
And I'll be a win through up 2-0 to start off the semi-fivals.
Maybe a little more chaotic to know over the place than we initially anticipated this series to be.
Overall, the end result is the same with Winthrop leading 1-0 after the first.
And hey, I think Infected's really happy.
Gets to play ball, which doesn't really happen a lot anymore, it feels like.
But yeah, a great map there for Winthrop, even though, yeah, definitely some moments to forget about, including that one from Sam.
But still a great series, fame map nonetheless.
and they won't care. They're pretty loose. We were talking with them yesterday. They feel very loose.
Again, they want to get their revenge on Northwood. They want to show that they're the best here in Varsity
and they're starting to do that right now with that win over NC State.
The only team that went there really feel threatened by Northwood. And that's the team they've lost to.
Yes, St. Clair did take them to five. What was it? The open bracket?
St. Clair did, yeah.
I don't know if I actually said that.
St. Clair took them five maps in the open upper bracket who unfortunately did get knocked
out.
They're the only other team to take significant maps off of Winthrop when they were at full
strength in terms of roster.
So a potential matchup later down the line, but a team like NC State, I don't think
they're nearly as stressed about, especially seeing that they are playing these cat
bastion comps after all.
new as of his last couple of days and finding them two pretty decent levels of success all
things considered and I just want to put an end to that. They are picking their favorite
in Atlas now. We're like playing the Malga and perhaps an Onron, based on the Kirikopan
and I'm like hoping that it's not the... and I think it can maybe, maybe work out
the way.
Why are you such a hater?
I'm not a hater. I just see Winthrop University and then I see Onron and then you try
I didn't put those two together and that just sounds awful
It's a you and temple beats
Like it just not they don't you don't get along very well. There's very few situations for a correct
Well, we haven't had any
Well, okay, we haven't had any this year's this year's no no no
We'll not be playing Lucille carry though on this map that much is a guarantee
So maybe some Lucille Bap not expecting too much jetpack cat at least start of the map because we're indoors and cats and ceilings are
allergic to each other, so yeah
Winthrop still have to come up with their fan for the moment
I think they're expecting some form of Malga at this point
It just depends whether they think that the Malga is the biggest threat to what their play style is
Yeah, that's probably a question. They're going over right now
If I had to guess that they made us do we just to do it or save it for later

We get a little sneak peek into the venue here. A lot of people just hanging out. I see a I think the winter parents back
There in the middle which shout out them
They've been great this weekend Cumberland up front here. It is kind of waiting on this one to wrap up
So they can get going on their series, but we're talking with them apparently the winter parents
Haven't told any to back up
Because they are so loud and tearful
It's so sweet, it is so sweet, but it's absolutely hilarious.
And I guess the tracer was too funny from Lobby, because that is banned out from Winther.
Well, Jokes on them, he's going to play Cassie anyway, so...
Yeah, I don't think we're going to get a fabric.
I was going to say, in Winther up to defense, they were actively playing while all these
other series are being played.
So they wouldn't know any better.
Oh yeah, we are expecting a casting now out of Lobby, Zara on the other hand?
I'm not entirely sure what he is going to pivot on over to.
Just because again, first point is so different with how the ceilings just exist
Farah, not exactly their best friend in that moment.
And again, this is a, this is a, if NC State are going to map, I think it's going to be this one.
This is going to be the one.
And on this point, I don't, I'm not confident in NC State's ability on anything that involves
a payload.
Push!
Maybe!
But HyperDNS or it feel like auto losses to me.
They feel very scary.
As well as range.
And with them's overall ability to cover space and talk to each other, have the
synergy.
They have one of the best coaches in North America about 90 minutes a week.
There's also the head coach of the current Dallas Fuel roster.
And you got players from every top partner team on here which is insane on itself.
Yeah, there's so much.
And they even have the fans.
They have the mobs. Who's all here? I'm trying to remember.
Effective bomb, Rax mom.
Rax dad.
Rax dad is here. And then I think there's somebody else.
You might have answered this.
We know for sure.
We know those three for sure.
Yep, fantastic people. They're always coming out to the front.
And she... they're very... they're very...
But again, we're told the back off, they were a little loud last year.
And they could be heard through the headset, so...
Uh, I don't know, what have they been behaving themselves?
This has so much support.
They do! They have to share it.
This is the number one fan.
You have to!
I feel like, as a parent, seeing your kid competing at this level...
Uh, you're there for it, and it's awesome.
We gave so much support for that.
I'm right there.
Beside, we're going in the game, and this is exactly what I expected to NC State, whether
I like it or not to live in, is on this on-ron lobby back on the cast of that.
I have a lot more faith in.
But this is an interesting sport time for Winberg, to say the least.
Yeah, a lie on it is poke, poke, poke.
Which when you're getting your rain hats, in the preempt of it can have to be really
good.
Once they close the gap, not so fun.
There isn't much to get to close on this point, but there's maybe a hop skip and a jump.
Maybe it's the hop, honestly.
It was how close that is for a spice of living, having a much harder time with it.
But one thing on our does-do-well is shut down Genshin with Jarrah was unfortunate to roll out on and be a match above.
This is the guy we wanted to look at.
Lobby, single best map of the before.
I honestly, bloke a deadlift from the final blows he was getting, almost at the dead eye.
He's gonna get himself a first cap for MC stay infected doesn't have much else to say about it
You will eventually drop down towards the objective with splice being right there. I don't think it's that simple cigarette
No, not very much in itself
We're just trying to free the high girls trying to find one of the opening picks
But they don't want to give up too much eventually they actually poke out a mouth
They didn't have to hide to heal up
Boom! Also has a trap card for infected. So with a cap, they lose their tank.
Yeah, that's gonna be a pretty short c-
This is the- the classic, ooh, they're a small room, but let me chase somebody and do it!
Oxite, there's a Cassiodeon.
Bam bam bam bam, they hurt like so.
Unfortunately, but with their skill hat, we're supposed to work with good, fast cap of sun, out of racking tanks,
that hit nothing.
Often though, it did hit the back seats, didn't catch that at the end.
At the mortality field and it will wear off an effect.
Gonna turn right around, Bunker Chump though, comes to save Nellix.
Shut him out, Nancy State.
Resume the cap.
Yeah, cap resumes for Nancy State after a very chippy fight from both sides there.
Nano and Online here for Ultra Violet.
A Nano blade almost here with Zera.
But obviously we have this dead eye from Lottie.
He doesn't have a cap though to usher him around this time around.
No, not quite so he'll have to actually use his own two feats.
Which isn't a good skill to have, but we've run into many more kills.
There is that data blade.
You're talking about Zara and Dragonblade.
One and together, I'll be double kill for him.
It's just getting some slicing and dicing started.
We had to stick to about Final Fight territory, as the Golden Eagles take over.
80-some percent here, obviously Lobby will get another slight little touch near the end.
86 and counting, but not before camp quite yet.
for NC State. Downpour here for Infractive. Code line up nicely with Sam, uh, wants to get the
overclock online, just uh, it's a lot easier to click heads if they can't really move.
So we'll see if that actually happens, and Oblivion fighting is used, they're all,
just to resurrect, right? They're not gonna use that for anything else.
It ain't just the better use, it's just really not. There's so many things that can go wrong
on the, the, the million cents. A million revival is the way to go for Oblivion. Uh,
Not pronounced. That is a lot of things coming in through with the kill speed.
His splice jumps into the backline. The revival is there for oblivion.
So that is a massive player advantage now. Over to Insistite.
Splice still has this cage fight. He's gonna play it down on the objective
where Invector's caught in it when he used the downpour.
So he actually doesn't get any value out of that. Sam was dead early on.
Overclocked nowhere to be seen. And it seems like the wolf back
Let's be shutting this down a triple kill from Lobby to give one more shout to Winner's Barber, saying hey, we are here to play, we are no slouches, this is Lobby territory.
Especially this map. This is all Lobby's territory. Throughout today, it will be your first Flashpoint win for Exesimus.
Don't need two more to go. Overclocked still here from Sim. Hasn't been able to pop it quite yet, but they've done it already back online here.
Well, I mean, this is the latest of time, maybe I'll have an opening cap for the Wolfpack.
Look at four angles. This cap of some does scare me.
A little bit.
You don't know, here it goes.
You see him, and the Wolfpack.
I think he's dead. Right there!
Out of melee, but it doesn't save him, and it barely saves twice.
And because he's so low and has no back teeth to heal him, it'll just be the overclock.
And with the university need, before a lot of you can even consider popping that dead.
Yeah, really, this kind of falls apart.
Tries to catch up Sam early on, doesn't work out.
The lamp has to be used early on splice, but it's more of a delay of the inevitable, more
than anything else.
And with that we will set up shop with nano blade almost here, captive sub once again.
Like I said, no suju to cleanse it out due to the NC State ban, and that creates
a problem.
Now here is the captive's son, I believe he's in Nellix in the front line, but what should have been a safe haven for this team turns into a great yard.
As infected as Sam are getting in there with a little bit of poke damage and rack attack.
Winthrop shutting down that flight fast.
Not even needing the nano. That time is there a slice and dice in the side room thanks to the distraction.
From a rack attack, you know, one fight away here.
Swing through up to make this one piece here on Atlas.
And I'm waiting for the Xenobot infected, there it is.
No throwing in, no the fast engage from Splice.
The great sleep time to Alden.
That's kind of the double-edged sword.
Vanakariko, nobody to stop Ultra Violet easily.
The best on an NA.
Then she stays.
You know how much this one slips through their fingers
for point two, but Bukka Choco don't want to get this one, a good old college tribe, that
right one has that oblivion, second his old in, just as another attempt, Nancy Stato looks
like they're throwing stuff down the drain, but how many members of Winthop remain alive
and stable?
In fact it might just burn to death though, if he's on that corner, barely has the
health to live, but no, everyone will end up backing off anyways, Nancy Stato forced
off for it.
The 3k from Oblivion not enough
That time around to turn the tide now this best of five on this map turns into a test of three
We have a pretty nice position already by interesting. It's either rotate. They want to be here first
They want to get set up on the backside of high ground that allows lobby to get set up for this dead
I and not get rain on immediately and I'm sorry dog from delix though
jump onto the team's back wall and there's the charge and a rack attack stomping on fighter.
He's gonna back off the tad.
It was best to keep Sam on his feet.
That works!
Gage White say the same to Lottie, which as he said, instead of put that positioning to get him set up,
with that no longer beating an option, is tapped for the Wolfpack.
Gage would be short lived, spliced, last run of snap.
And there's not much you can really do in that situation.
just 17% for the Wolfpack, but it will eventually go over to Winfisher. Not even
any else needed during that. Bunker Chunker now on the break! It must be sick of
infected in Xero. Maybe that's sticking up of the hazard or the Genji. I feel like you need
the speed, and as much as it sucks, you kinda need it to get out of the buff like this.
Well, you're talking about somebody but they need for speed.
I was saying, I'm going in and that could have worked.
It really could have.
If he didn't just slide into the entirety of NC State,
waiting around the corner, so that goes down,
at least didn't pop the overclock, a little at best.
There's the damage that we were talking about,
but so much can happen.
Actually, they drag Attack out mid-active sun.
And it's kind of okay, maybe not.
It just depends on how observed.
Actually ends up accomplishing.
It should be at least Nellix falling short
as he is minced into a bajillion pieces off of that side, was on the other side of the
door, and decided to pop the overclock in splice. I don't know about that one buddy, I don't know about that one.
That one may have stayed in the dress. Oh shoot. That was a rough one there, but maybe like
hey, I gotta swap. This is not, this is not it. Uh, so it goes over to the diva for
potentially the rest of this map. There will be another touch here though from
RFC State before this last one is over.
Not a...
I think Oblivion did end up getting back in the eggs last time he spawned there.
So we'll be a full 5v5.
I like the revival available for RFC State.
Vector dropped the downpour early on, comes up with 2.
Oblivion is going to need that revival now,
but Vector's already built the entirety of his team.
Is it even worth it?
Well, he thinks it is.
It will be a very short live, how much attention is being turned in his direction.
Effective 4k, 4 of Winthrop's tank player.
They will head up to map point.
As infected was said, he's Dragnoz right now.
I'm pulling it out, you know, we're having some fun here.
He's, uh, yeah, he's been going great on this.
The hero that we thought Splice was going to be playing.
Right, like we thought it would be, hey, there's a lot of hazards coming out.
It's going to be from Splice.
Has it necessarily been the case in that it's a very...
That's ever gone, but Nana wanted to affect it and skew the boss.
It'll be okay if we may not actually get anything,
but at least Liv's Wildman's backline is being harassed
with some air for Bunga Chonko, but it's only history players!
It's Weiss and Nellix.
The Winter of University, they just backed off,
let that overhaul go away.
There's a main game showroom, the Effective,
Lobby's face a bad choice of hugging,
The cat says, and with that, we'll get the first cat, though.
Enchi's states were the ones on the objective infected, so focused on clearing that opposite high ground,
which will eventually get them a more stable fight when they think they can find the deal,
and Enchi's states are being real pesky about touching in and out of this point,
and self-raising a decent amount of time, and they're going to continue to find deep percentage of them.
Yeah, look at this, up high, lobbing back through, okay, with the window!
That could be illegal, but if there's a window which charges twice as fast as with the bell, twice as fast.
That's it.
Put the Captain's on Al, but it only lands on a splice and with 10 HP to spare.
Now or less, that is utter disaster for Wither.
That is an unbelievable hole, Comments to State, that this one has...
Okay, who's next? Who's next? Who's next, cut?
Beautiful, quick window.
Window, dead eye.
Rack will go over to the break giving up on the Illari for now, but also because of one is a super elongated fight, as he's already at 90%.
90% here, down 4, we'll just catch on to the Gank, I believe.
Right at the beat, just to make sure that he can get the project, he's gonna go down for it.
It's a scrappy fight, but any time Gera pulls off a dragon blade, you know it is going to be a
winds up university fight when it would be wrong if it wasn't. They're gonna want to shut this one
out as NC State almost got themselves up to a second objective. Almost brought us to one more
flash. A little bit more work required here from NC State to make that a reality.
Nano-nause for the blade that size, probably just going right back on to infected.
So I head and just roll on through the res available here for Oblivion.
I think I'm going to build up a lot of these key ultimates.
Sombrair 20 away, Jedi 30 away.
I could pair with the Wind of Nelix once again.
Up to the available.
And now we're going to inspect it.
Remains are too spliced.
We'll keep on going on borrowed time.
It is exactly that. Borrowed.
But because of that, there is so much time for Lavi on the opposite side of the map.
map, it works with oblivion, makes chaos here,
for a wind drop, some max zero,
let the silver bullet inject him,
no supports left, NC State will in fact get themselves
a second objective, lead this one up to the fifth.
We're going all the way to five here on Atlas.
A map NC State desperately needs to go in their favor,
considering the rest of the map types remaining,
but can they get it done?
Window, Beast, Dead Eye, all available here for the Wolfpack.
Nothing on the board right now for the Golden Eagles on the other side.
Sam, now on the M-Ride trying to build up that override protocol.
It's going to take some time and the State are here at the first,
but kind of all the same, the pinch from two different angles here.
What's a Genko?
These are fortalities you throw on.
Is that really a little scary?
I gotta say, four N.C. State, the longer this goes on,
you're already down to oblivion.
This ultimate advantage may not matter if you just decide not to use them in the first place
and that will be the likely conclusion as Winthrope, simply too far ahead to be shut down in this battle.
There's simply too much at all, but down for a nice little touch.
You can tell Bugger Chunk goes sitting there like, do I want to pop it? Do I pop it? Do I pop it?
No, he doesn't pop it. That's on a run. I think he made the right call.
Hold on to the Sombrair for this blade that you know is about to come from Azera.
I could change the tide of this entire comp coming.
The Sombrair of Bunga-Chunga, as I said, perfectly timed is what it needs to be.
We have not had a match of that with Azera's Dragon Blade yet.
But it's not going to be this time either.
Bunga-Chunga popped in response to the rally.
Got a little scooped.
It was out of play.
Basically three now for Azera.
He pulled it out of the sheath, sliced the Bolivian in two, turning the sights to the back line, but
body's already collected by Winthrop.
Body's already cold on the floor, splice half out, but we'll stay alive with that self-destruct,
but it's really not anything offensive that anti-state can use to win this one and stay alive.
With the override protocol, on the other hand, could create some issues if it is not dealt with early on.
I was up in the sky looking for an angle, but so close to his flight to just around the corner.
Rodney's already down.
Can't find any of these flash-second healers, but that's okay.
He spooked everybody into the whatever infected, managed to growl these NC State players as close as his Macavastas was.
It seemed NC State running low on opportunities.
Put this series to stand up to Winthrop who want to become the new king of Collegiate Overwatch.
It won't be done here on Atlas Winthrop.
Go up to Mooda, do their match point as soon as they deal with these last couple of stragglers downpour from Infected.
Seals the deal on this map and sees states.
The one that they could have won the last chance they arguably had at keeping this one close within a reason is gone.
Golden Eagles up 2-0.
One map away now for Winthrop,
earning their second bid to a grand final tomorrow.
And yeah, who else during that one infected a great job
on the hazards around that map?
This is like, what else? You look at a window square in the face,
sometimes you just got a garden brain.
That's exactly what went right at that time
for infected.
And yeah, now, what does NC State even go to here?
This was, we talked about it earlier. This was the map they needed to win.
If they wanted to have a chance in this series and now that they're down 0-2, needing a reverse sweep.
We know it can be possible. We saw that from Cumberland in their last series, but...
I guess Winthrop can be a little bit, you know, taller than us.
I was going to say, we're going to talk about a whole different level right now.
Yeah.
Between UTD and the Winthrop University.
And to stay, I'm thinking it's going to be a little short of a miracle.
We pulled this one back on a different map where
Frigid and more of the things set up will be a bit more intense to break through.
What's the clinical? How's the upper hand from here and how, even if they don't have the map pick,
more ban going in their favor. I don't think we just got this lobby
at all in the back half of the round. It's pretty shut out as soon as Sam
decided to swap over to that M-Ray
Band Map 1, it's available the rest of the series
and it thrives on any of our three remaining map types.
Yeah, Emmer's going to go pretty nuts during the rest of this series,
because it's great, there could just be one map, it could be two.
If it goes three, you can call me a liar,
but I really don't see it going in that direction right now.
Winter just playing exactly to the form that we all know they can.
It's just sometimes with them, it's like, OK, how serious are they right now?
And are they actually at 100 percent?
I don't think they're at 100 percent right now,
which is also kind of scary to think.
but they're still locked in after work there they should finish this one out
but it's still a good there it's in the king polis random maps out
they're going to need to pull map three out of this randomness because
anything right now is needed for the next of the series and there is a that's
when the biggest weakness is their own they know how good they are
yeah it's and it's true it's a valid thing to have an ego about these are
some of the best players in north america
It's fine, but in series like this where you're up to oh the couple of maps
We have seen the drop are more often than not that threes just because you know we're up already
Probably okay, but you're really not okay and there
NC State is a team that will take advantage of that
So I am hoping kind of hearing from weeds a little bit and how much they've been on the grind these past couple of weeks
And how much this tournament means to this team
They are yet to win a Nace Varsity title or an OWCC title ever as a team.
They've always been second to ISU or Northwood in this case.
And this is their actual chance now to get up and get that title under their belts.
If they can move on tomorrow, it's pretty much a shoe-in.
You're up 2-0.
Your only thing is a reverse sweep and as much as I want to believe in NC State,
we're talking about climbing a mountain and then stacking another two mountains,
one for each of these maps that you would have to win in order to get to that point.
Yeah, it's gonna be quite difficult here, but nothing is impossible it feels like in
this game right now, but this feels pretty close too.
It's like, it's just that kind of game right now, and Winthrop's in that kind of form
to where it's going to take a lot.
It needs it to be an unbelievable team to knock them down a peg.
And right now, NC State, again, they've shown flashes of it.
That was a very competitive map of Atlas.
So they also just didn't have that finishing touch to get them over the line and I feel
like you need that at a base minimum if you want to be at a team like Winthrop.
Because if you give them, you saw that on Leisure Night Market, a few fights to where
they really felt like they were winning it, they didn't close it out, Winthrop reinforcements
come in and they finish the job.
And that's something you cannot afford to do when you're playing a team as good
as Winthrop.
I mean, technically this is NC State's first time playing Winthrop this semester because they did end up having to unfortunately forfeit their regular season game due to some player scheduling conflict with school.
So with this, I mean, well, second meeting because they played earlier on. Oh no, they didn't because they weren't separate out of the bracket. I'm losing my mind.
First time playing this entire semester and Winthrop, I don't really think knew what to expect.
We're a little bit exciting going into a Bunkinchunko being a Jetpack Cat player,
but I would love to see that matchup continue.
Which is almost why I'm hoping for like a Risaki or something that we can do.
That's likely where we would see it as opposed to like a Blizzard world.
Just because you're going to play Poke, you're going to play Iate, you're going to play Lana.
Could play Nimbani.
Bonnie, really?
Maybe. It's not as good.
How do you think NCC would pick it, though?
Because they don't hate the dive, but...
It's not ideal. It's not ideal. And I do not want to see that Winston again. That was that was not it.
That was not great. It was a rough, it was a rough try. But hey, at NC State, to their credit,
we'll stick with whatever they decide to the end, whether it is benefiting them or it is harming them.
And that was just one of those moments. It did not end out. So, well, regardless,
even if they end up going down 3-0 here, each one of those moments that you beat UTD,
You know the team that you're going up against you always want to hope that you are the better team
And you kind of have to if you go in thinking, you know, we're just gonna get crushed
Well, you're absolutely gonna get crossed. I think you have a chance. Well, maybe you actually have a chance instead of just going out
and
Getting stomped we do a little bit of a longer break between maps two and three here for
NC States and make sure that they are making the best possible
possible decision on what will guarantee be their last map pick here in our semi-final.
In no matter what, this will be their last map pick unless we go to Hybrid and then to TIE
and then, you know, they'll get another one, but chances of that, maybe not super, uh,
you know, high of happening, but we're actually going to go on a quick two-minute break
here.
We've got, I think, just a small tech issue we're dealing with out in the venue, but
When we come back, map 3 between Winthrop and NC State.
one map away from booking themselves a ticket in into the nice grand finals for
her varsity bracket for the second year in a row. We're live here at Full Sail
University as NC State has one last chance with their own map pick and band
to get themselves back into the series. You know one chance to at least get it to
a one-two and like I said last time they're gonna have you know first band
or map pick for this series unless we somehow go to a tie on a hybrid map
But changes to that well now impossible runa soppy
Will be our final potential round here of the day and you said earlier. Hey, we wanted to see more jetpack cat
This is the one that you can run it back in the the ball pan is not one
I saw we'd be seeing today, but wrecking ball banned out by NC State
The key to go will be the answer from Winthrop, so Nellix will have to find something different to run if the cat is there
cooperative
Well, alrighty then. I like to see it. So we're batting the Kiriko
Juno break, which I don't think I hear if you see blood. Or we're sticking to some sort of
Jetpack Katana?
Potentially, I feel like if you're going to have a Jetpack Kat Kiriko is by far the hero
You're going to see paired with that the most often. So without having a stable
Peel for your auto player or something along those lines does make me a tad bit nervous
nervous, just about those lung conditions.
But I also think that's where NC State's mentality is with banning the wrecking ball.
You don't have as much pressure on your back line as you're going in for these very aggressive
sort of dives and not leaving some poor old person like Nellix alone in the back line.
Yeah.
Yeah, sometimes with that competition, like, uh, guys, yeah, it's a ball, it's like,
I can't really do much to help, uh, but that, yeah, maybe continuing to be the
case depending on if the Bunko Chunko cat returns here on Aruna Saffi. Let's see,
Etsy State got one more attempt on bringing this one forward even more.
And if not, Winthrop will be in both finals tomorrow and we get to find out
their opponent in just a little bit. Reminders, we got one more best five.
Still after this, St. Clair and Cumberland will be the final one.
Yeah, one last game for this team.
Turn it around and it could just be the end of their tournament.
They've had a fantastic bracket.
They went all the way through their lower teams and managed to find themselves here
against Winthrop University.
A very rough matchup.
Had to start this, but sometimes you've got to beat the best in order to become
the best yourself.
I think that's the reason.
I mean, the...
several mountain stacks that are doubling each other.
For this roster to come back in
will be the teased Juno Brig
from NC State for now
which I would say is a little
surprising, but with the Kiriko being banned
I think that just outweighs any opportunity
to run that Jetpack Count yourself.
Yeah, I think, yeah, it rules that out completely.
You just have to go
with the Juno Brig
at least for NC State. Ultra Violet
But when you're, you know, the Fest, Ana in North America, I think you have every right to play the Ana here.
If you still choose, in fact, we're about to go on the Orisa.
So, kind of just a run-it-down style here from Winther up, similar here from NC State, with Splice.
Just a little more of a target on that jump for Splice and then Bolivia to take over.
This thing is easy.
I guess I'll hold, but it is more of a front-to-back composition for Winther University.
in this frontline, I think sustained wants to get spliced in location to harass his backline.
I think they just went ahead and flicked the mech, disinfected, moved his payload on
forwards. That's how to stay on top of the middle as the mech comes out spliced with
having on such a long cooldown. That sort of ends his days engaged, done, and gone with.
Shablon's been in the way from the rest of their teams, and uh-uh, as my back length don't touch them.
Fortunately, Hank wants you to save from Lobby, which is great, much larger than that of Splice, and he's set very, very far away.
Because the respawn will be a full reset now for it's...
You can tell, you know, I think Rackzack tried to fend off a Bolivia, and eventually does win.
Xera was there for a little bit of comfort just near the end of it.
Renzi stayed out realizing the horses out.
They were able to go on and match it from the slice.
Xera just kind of chasing her on Oblivion almost as close to them online.
Alrighty, that'll be the first ult to go into this one,
but they're gonna need more than that so you want to start getting this bot on the other side of the map.
Yeah, a lot more.
Just how much do you space the game with the past at the start?
Great sleep dart onto a Bolivia and ulcer by the map.
Byer! With those so far as tracer.
Not a concern against whatsoever.
Another pick off on Xenelix and Lintryk.
Just get themselves a forward spawns without losing a single player.
Yeah, walls run so far. Let's see if they can keep it up here.
We finish out that pulse bomb from Zera.
We'll land on a splice.
And the Euryssa is down.
down a little bit of a stall out right now from the Bolivian I think over my point.
Personally I'd like to turn into much more overriding protocol compared to Dan here from Ultra Violet
and if that happens uh gridlock and C-Stick. Yeah that's uh
you have to worry about not too much of your overriding, it'll be online.
It'll be totally cracked that it'll be Nelix out first but without Bobby it gets
It's not the player you expected to take advantage of the overall rate, it's no-unvoided.
This robot is still pushing on forward as NC Sator, all over the map, except where the objective is.
By the time they have made that rotation, Sam is there, with his override protocol.
Eventually the first eliminations out of the game come through for the answer state.
Being both of the Winthrop supports, even that's not enough stuff.
Not enough yet.
Winthrop continue to push on forward even with no heals out of those fours from the play.
Just a little bit conservative,
but already 110 meter lead in counting.
We are not even half our students now, so yes,
Anti-State have time to start bringing this back,
but this is quite a lead to half attack from.
Oh yeah, that is a lead and a hack,
which you have to worry about.
Or this roster with a clock available for lobby and to guess this kind of thing.
It's over if I just freeze me out.
Yeah.
A little bit scary here from Rack.
If I do say so myself, even though a lot of you
could just pop the overclock try and stunt a little bit
of that push as the pulse and mobility advances this time.
Yeah, Sam, that's a little sixth sense there.
Get the pulse, bobby.
Pull up the side buster.
Jump on out of the way.
Twice.
If you're going into a combo, we'll be sooner
out of them later, but you can tell how patient Rack
Attack is with this.
You want to fight when you have this little bit of high ground on the wall here and even popping out with the Terra Surge or Infected.
You don't need all that much more. It gets Nellie's low without the additional support to come in.
And Splice gets melted through his own attempt at the Terra Surge. Not even needed for the Overraider.
Yeah, not needed. Splice will have a Swapnow onto the Moga.
So why not at this point? You got nothing left to lose if you were at NC State. Throw something up the wall, see if it works out.
If I guess Maga against Ana doesn't usually work out well for Maga.
Neither does Juno against the Tracer. Zera will win those every day of the week.
Bobby does take a chunk of damage but eventually finds the head of Winfors Tracer player.
player. That's something. Without a take-action, Dutchman's heroes don't win. They could just win this right here and now.
Sam Sems is in despite being 27 HP. Like, team, I got this. Give me a little bit of heals, and they're just going to end it right there at absolute speed run.
On a push-map with the University, we'll find themselves in the NACE Varsity Grand Finals.
They will be in both Grand Finals tomorrow. First in the open against Northwood, and second in Varsity here
against a 2B determined opponent that we will find out next, but a great show-off for the number one team here at least in Varsity.
Is that to state, I had had their great moments, I think they kind of knew what they were getting into into this series, but a top 4 finish
is still an unbelievable result from them and an historic one for their program.
First events as a Varsity program, you get top 4 at this event, that is nothing to be ashamed about.
First year and you get that much of an achievement. I think you take those and see states a roster that
Has had some growing pains and no coach get to guide them through what that looks like
They are the only roster within this top four that is not fully scholarship
And you can see that in the way that they're playing the fact that they had as much growth as much success as they did with
a set of players is so
impressive and it's gonna be a very long time before we see another roster in those similar
circumstances come up to take a name at the very top of collegiate overwatch so won't they
go out at the top four?
A great achievement for them nonetheless as for Winthrop, already really expected they
knew what is ahead and they know that this is the first real chance that they have
at a nice varsity title.
Yeah, they've been so close before and just have not been able to finish it off.
Now is the time. It feels like for Winther. It is due to their first major title period.
Which is a crazy thing to say when you look at this roster and how they've been playing this weekend.
So far, it just feels egregious to say, but that's just been the reality for this team through this point.
But now they have a little bit of time to get the Watsons next in my final. They'll know who they play next.
And then they will go on to play them tomorrow, but as you stay well by while it's a win throw
We could see a lot of them tomorrow, but they are now done for the day
Yep, nope they get to rest easy had their three best of fives didn't not drop a single map
Even if they can't close a couple of times they'll rest up and be ready for two back-to-back best of sevens tomorrow
I'll definitely be a marathon not a sprint. So make sure again to tune in tomorrow for that matchup
But we're not done yet.
For today's games, we still have one more finalist
to confirm with St. Killear College,
taking on Cumberland University to determine
who will be moving on to face off
against our favorites in Winstrup.
Stay tuned, more collegiate overwatch soon to come.
My name is Ryan Merke Mojica.
I am a coach at George Mason University eSports
called duty team.
And I am a computer engineering
and computational data science students.
When I first needed a car, I was 18,
out straight out of high school,
driving a Chevy Suburban up 45 minutes
and rush out every day.
And I kind of just got to a point
where I kind of wanted something
a little bit more enjoyable.
And this was actually in the same building
that I worked in.
You know, I went to my dad and asked like,
okay, I want to do this, I want to get a new car.
And he said like, all right, let's go over to In Touch.
There was a lot of uncertainty going into this process.
I was expecting a lot of paperwork,
a lot of numbers, really understand kind of
how any of this worked.
The person we were talking to was actually a car guy.
So he was almost like, yeah, you're getting your first car.
You know, what are you getting?
Having a car really helped me travel for eSports events.
And not only that, it just gives me the ability
to be the team dad.
I give my players rise, get the campus for NAIS matches,
and just supporting the team in a bigger way
that I wouldn't be able to before.
Many NAIS students are looking for financial tools,
resources, and support from people who care.
I recommend checking out Intouch Credit Union.
With graduation coming up,
I honestly don't think I'd be where I'm at
in my financial journey without them.
I
One more match is all that remains after an action-packed
packed Saturday here at Full Sail University.
We eight teams start out in our double Elam group stage,
seated into our single Elam semis,
and it is that last semi.
We'll be taking a look at now to determine
who will be playing against Winthrop University
in tomorrow's best of seven varsity finals.
We St. Clair College going against Cumberland University.
And now this matchup in particular is,
We said it before, the single proudest achievement of Carmelin was beating St. Clair back in March.
They have yet to do it again, but if they could do it here on land on a stage this big, that would certainly be something of an upset.
Oh, it'd be one of the best upsets we've had in a long time here at NACE.
And I think right now it's fair to say St. Clair are the favorites.
Absolutely.
But I don't think it's like last series, it was like 95 to 5.
right like when when there was probably gonna win there was 5% chance NC State pulled it out. I have this at maybe 60-40
I really think this could go either way as we look at St. Clair's roster here
obviously Tread, Razor, Bull from Disguise, then you got Juice, Red X, Soaks
We actually could see Alex as well on Flex support instead of Red X. And Noxus in. Or instead of I think Soaks
No, so it's just playing.
So, yeah, sorry.
And then, yeah, you can see a little bit of Noxious in there.
So this is a team that I get, well, full of Canadians, plus one Brit in Tread.
But this is going to be, this is a great team, but it was just the best of three,
the one time they lost to Cumberland, and then they avenged that
and that open lower bracket and knocked Cumberland out.
They will be seeking a very similar result here today of another elimination.
Yeah.
Dread as he said it himself himself has been whipping this team into shape ahead of this land and
Is ready to go and make sure that this team can be firing on all cylinders team synergy?
Discipline is the name of the game for this roster
They don't like to rely on individual matchups as they do when it comes to this macro play ultimate economy
Managing their tools and some of the best that we have here in
in collegiate and on the other side of the bracket,
a team that shares a similar sentiment
when it comes to that strategy.
Cumberland University, the first time
we're getting a full stream of them today on the broadcast.
They have had one heck of a story
throughout the past academic year.
Yeah, last school year they kind of rose up on the scene.
They have some changes this year.
And even Ginger leaves during the middle,
I mean during that winter break.
Kerm gets promoted up from Academy, not a position he thought he was going to be in,
but he's improved massively over the semester.
And there's a reason why they are still kind of in this.
Virtua has been doing great over in FaceIt.
And then obviously a few other...
Cabe, if you've been around for a while, you know who Cabe is.
This is a fantastic roster across the board.
They really take advantage of...they like their synergy,
but they also have their pop-off moments.
Virtua is a very aggressive, flex support.
the look out for him to try and get involved really early here in this series yeah as he said cave the
most veteran player arguably the tournament uh even terms of collegiate now i'd have to double fact
check that but i'm like 95 percent sure he also did not play any of the regular season matchups
for cumberland because the requirement for nace varsity competition is that players must compete
from a school's facility he was a remote student could not do that but was able to
come out to this event. So this is the first time in a varsity competition that he has been eligible
for play. The one map that we did see when they reversed swept Bellevue University at the end of
their own group stage. It was Kate. Kate was running the show for Cumberland. We were kind
of questioning, you know, maybe if this game played next, having that momentum carried behind
them would be huge. But it's been a good hour or plus some change since that point.
Cumberland have had time to cool down since then yeah a little bit time to you know
Calm down reset and go into this with a fresh mind
It's positive negative. I bet kind of having the adrenaline go down
You can you think a little bit more and have everything ready to go
But you also want to kind of feel that energy feel that rush of oh my god
We just got a reverse sweep and we won this thing
So it's a little bit of a catch-22, but I think I again
I think they really have some potential here to take this
Absolutely, but it's gonna it's gonna take a lot. I would be I could see a 3-1
Potentially coming in for these teams that will of course depend on how the competition evolved what these maps and band
End up looking like as you can see they are the last two teams to still be competing within the venue at this time
Will see University been a fantastic host for these rosters so far and will continue to do so as we figure out
who are the last finalists will be.
When I was proud supporter of this tournament,
has been GG Circuit for this year's grand finals,
showcasing some of the best collegiate
eSports programs in the country.
I and every great team use the right infrastructure
as where they're gonna come in.
From player management and secure labs
to tournament operations and remote support,
GG Circuit powers the infrastructure
behind every match, every scrim
and every championship moment.
It simplified the technology so schools
can focus on what matters most.
The coaches will compete, the players will compete at the highest level.
Well, Gigi will take care of everything else.
If you're building or scaling your eSports program, make sure to connect to them.
Gigi Sorka is ready when you are.
Yeah. You know who's ready? Us. Let's get this thing going.
Let's get this thing going.
Shout out to Gigi Sorka for all the help they've been giving us this
weekend here in Orlando.
Well, we're going to perfect five for five, everybody.
Of course, the Leisurentower could start us off and we could go perfect 7 for 7.
I would say that.
Well, the map pool is a little bit different for Open.
True, but I thought Leisurentower is still in there.
It's still in it, so that's like, direct, true, that's very true.
That'll be a...
That's Tomorrow issue.
It'll be a Tomorrow issue, and uh...
Current issue, Jetpack Cat Ban.
Crombleon doesn't play Jetpack Cat, St. Clair doesn't play Jetpack Cat.
That's a, huh, kinda head scratcher from St. Clair,
but the Diva Ban, I think, makes a lot more sense.
Kerm will play it. I'm not really sure if it's his favorite in terms of preferences, but in the case of Tread that has been the catalyst for St. Clair's compositions.
Taking that out of the fray early on is a great statement. Not only is skill and what that brings to the team, but all the team will play around him on that pick.
Also, Divas is kind of the best on these junctions.
D.Va just integrate spot, period, right now.
So when you have a player like Shred on your team,
you probably want to have him to play D.Va
as much as possible, but not the case here.
In a map one, Cumberland will ban that out.
Maybe just a little bit of PTSD from St. Clair,
like we don't really want to have to deal with jetpack
at Bastion to get on this map,
even if it's not super likely
that it would be the case.
But here we go.
Final map one of the day
between these two teams,
let's see if they can do it.
I'd say Cumberland, again, they've been
just in such a weird team to watch this semester,
but they truly have improved as the semester has gone on.
But even, again, here and there,
they've had some not great games,
but they lose to Fisher Navy early on,
and they beat Fisher Navy later in open.
They have these bounce back performances.
They just need a bounce back to St. Clair's bounce back
in open, just a little bit, like a month or so delay.
They did the looking out on paper,
power ranking St. Clair number four,
Cumberland's number six, so not that far apart, but that gap a bit whiter
I think most people would expect it to be
We're gonna find out whether that is the case anything can't be different here on land
Cumberland Sankler for one more month
Here we go. It'll be the Zarya for try to once again
Helping set up a razor on some of these endages. Cure mother a monster doesn't play a ton of Zarya
So it's not like that's going to be an option here for Cumberland long-term.
It's that little shredder where Rappler out, do not let St. Clair set up,
but instead it's a cleanse that's forced out early for out the virtual.
I know cleanses will be a bit more challenging than after the Phoenix move on towards the points.
Or at least stay alive there.
I thought I really know if that would have been a good enough note where he ended up going down.
But St. Clair is crazy.
Let me correct that. It's both final blows on this DPS of Cumberland.
All the point control is still in their favor. They're making this work!
The problem is walking in it's rematcha. You don't wait till the nemesis form is out.
They'll hurt a bit more than you want it to.
And now nobody is back from the respawn. He's like, alright, I know I missed a lot of that first fight,
but I'm here to finish it. Cumberland flipping right back over.
Just 9% for St. Clair in that miniature flip.
But now we really get to reset here teams get to figure out what they're doing consumers almost online already from virtual that is an insane case
If you want damage that Kerm is taking and it compared to
That will certainly be a factor in that but having unmatched goods today rush here
Three bite that if you can get that off well before Alex
Range of his own virtual plays that one out as the extra suzu. I just to get current nice and stabilized
Zinclair in a position to fully retreat with Redix.
Yeah, Zinclair, no, there's no winning against that Katsune Hiroshi, you might as well just
tuck and cover, wait for this next fight to go out when you have your own Katsune Hiroshi
or this pulse, then almost came out.
Well without the Tsuzuru, I think it wouldn't have done it if there was a headshot of Kuna
didn't come in, but that just came, it got mowed down by Alex and Katsune Hiroshi.
We are just watching a race showcase by multiple final blows in each fight we've seen so far.
Some extra curriculars there near the end for where it's like, yeah, I'm here, guys.
What up?
How we doing?
Uh, sake clear.
We're running it down.
It's coming along to find a way to get back in here with this override protocol.
And the annihilation here from CIRM.
Chef's somewhere a little bit behind the one of Red X, but not too far.
But he's gonna need it before this ground comes in from TRED.
I'm just waiting to lay it down.
If Tread launches this early, that's going to be a bit of a problem.
Okay.
Finish that.
So something down is very cautious about taking this corner.
Knowing not just as the overclock and just pop him out of the sky at any point.
He's not respecting that level.
And he'll do that.
Now let's build Razorone.
Not too thrilled about that adventure.
Chef does have that sound barrier available now.
Which I think Karmu will feel safer knowing that Tread has a Graviton Surge and ready to go at any moment.
Both Sombrae is once trapped on her phone as well.
And the Nuzuzu is unavailable to Blynds of Bits.
And Wampa Kappa from St. Clair is working out, but the one player you lost is Tread and Nihilation is still going for Karmu.
Eventually he ends up falling Karmu in and if they had a chance if they kept Karmu alive, but then going down to the end will just be continued, St. Kappa.
Nobody turns to bring it back near the end as well with a pulse, but does not stick and does get finished off because of that fact.
Trumblin, how did that rush back up?
From Virtual, still about 20% lead on Alex.
He could get a lay by this way. You can't make sure everybody stays up for this final attack.
And that won't be the case.
I don't know. Let this fight or fight might as well be over before it starts.
Virtual puts down the Kitsune, Rosh, knowing it ain't over, so it's all the risk.
This one pretty much over, as Virtual.
I can work some more 2-9 shots in like that one, but no Suzu, no TP, that is a sitting duck to size this kind of thing.
Here we go, St. Clair University. We're just gonna excuse St. Clair Polish off to an incredibly strong start on round number one,
once they got their bearings together. Especially Grazer has been farming.
Grazer's been unbelievable this first map.
So far, I cannot wait to see the scoreboard. He's gotta be...
13 and one maybe 13 to 14
There we go
My bad my bad, I'm sorry, I believe 13 one was tread. I just had the wrong wrong thing wrong guy. That's that's okay
Well, you'll go to the next time that yeah, that's not insane
All things considered, I think it's been hard for Nody to keep track of the Eraser as Ben, because he's so quick to take on these angles with Nody, just a different idea of how to approach these fights as we go into round number 2 of gardens.
Same composition throughout.
Yeah, everybody keep it at the same if you think there's no reason really to swap and come on again
You don't have that Zarya and you're take hero pool so you can't really match it
You have to play this slower style with the rematch here, but that is a beautiful maze and cave to start us off
Why not just I have the difference between the soldier and
This m-ray that cave really likes to pull out. It's been his favorite thing since that season one match was released
I get rough start though for Coughnally and as soon as you lose the virtual there you kind of know you're just going to have a face tank trend and how much charge it he has as a miserable situation of being, with my way of being at all, St. Clair getting themselves another first capture.
Sinclair lock it down here, Razor's been all over the place and if they shut the
virtual this often it's gonna be really tough for the Phoenix to stay in this one
but obviously long series ahead of us I have a feeling to consider how this one
has started off so far. Sinclair, they want to hold this bridge but already have
both forced out and that Grenade is gonna kind of force Naxxus away.
And right, Renée is right, okay, all of them are the same, and without worth seeing his land, great check damage, as I'm getting much bigger.
Or he knows how to keep my resin at the same time as Alex, while going down as early as he did, which is incredible, how much support Kurt has been needing, how he's going to climb, and another Renée from Cade always find a way to land one way or another.
Razor both of them at the pocket definitely thought about sticking it onto the tracer. We'll come back knowing this down very well
The press no need no idea that was happening back not just will go out Razor
What seems like a fourth time just in this map alone that might be a little exaggerating
But how well razors playing anything's possible?
Yeah, the sky is the limit right now for this guy. He's in unbelievable form and
And Cumberland has had no answers so far here on Lee Zhang tower
Now you see what is the place? What is the pivot here from Cumberland if there is any maybe one fight territory for St. Clair
And they're going to make sure that when he grabs his monster, they'll have to crumb.
But because it's a nemesis form being up, he's just going to let it with a bite, a good jelly,
and hell takes out Wret on the opposite side of how all the tempo was all ended up being in Tread.
Instead of first win, Gerd's the issue.
Hooking up a little bit of a dip there for Tread.
Caramel in a fight they need to win and do.
And yes, you used two of your best ultimates in the chaos of it, but you stay in the map regardless.
Just the overclock from Noxious, all ready for you.
We'll have to get healed up from Alex as soon as he peeks his head out.
And this is the next little off angle from Kay, but split push from Sinclair.
I bet you that thing tried to realize that it might be best not yours.
Not twice, and yeah, that says it's not yours.
But it's almost a bait and switch.
real thing about it, not just Honest's chef or slight overextensions.
Virgil is close to a consumer rush, I wouldn't be shocked if he pops it.
As more as I need to keep Kerm alive,
situation, you've got to put me in a relation with you, Tor.
We're able to trade some of these elims out to a degree,
and we're just gonna mount consumer rushes on the opposite side of the tea house.
Lujang Garden.
Razor back with another pulse bomb.
There's more to Sound Barrier.
The Sankler have nothing to match it.
We're going to tempo need our way into Cumberland.
We're doing a fantastic job hiding all things considered.
In fact, they were going to keep every member of their team alive.
The four fit their priority positioning on the objective because of it.
And say, Clarence, they're at one foot territory.
Cumberland do not want to give this up if they have the chance.
You can see how quickly they are to collapse on top of the Treads.
It's 2% away from the Grapplington surge.
But they're not out of dangerous waters yet.
Tank for a tank, got the Wild West out there for this team.
Oh!
That's it, Rob!
You needed that override protocol.
Put an end to that fight for getting taught out in the middle of it.
St. Clair, massive opportunity.
And now, Kermit comes back on the wrecking ball.
Noe, do you need to be...
...near back, fast, red?
Could not make that swap because of the fact he has this grab,
but now he'll rush into his face and he's able to get one.
That's gonna grab both Noe and Kerm.
So much health on Kermit.
For a Milby Fline, can't quite say the same for his traits or companions.
In 99% now, for Kongroline as the Sound Barrier of the Chef,
it's the floor at stake with Alec's body and sense to the same train.
Couple in the University, they want to take us to a round number three trend,
doing as darned as to prevent that from happening.
Right next to him now, and that Sound Barrier acts,
and they couldn't get much out of the temple piece before.
That's because Kongroline can kite.
This time, it hopped to stay on the objective,
But even then they're okay. They can give up a little bit of percent before we
Go to be here for another touch virtual stuff here in white room cleanser to use razor cannot finish it
Don't have to back up still as Paul's one man
Bubble and Susan you build up with that's expected to meet it and one that first rep chance is all survival
I'm entirely nobody comes up with two. Yeah, but instantly traded games walk over to straight
Last second to hero we don't see all of them, come on.
Back in control of the objective,
right now on the two-faces razor,
lives on his one-foot mid-players left, right, and center.
Treasure's such a strong hero,
and in his hands, it looks absolutely unstoppable.
Zinclair returning to favor now,
overtime with their hands,
scurred close to a minefield,
but cannot get the touch,
the hack plus the push combo out of Notchus and Tread,
So shut it all down, and St. Clair College will take map one.
Whoo! That was a fun one, though.
Whoo!
That one felt like a map in itself.
They are out of gardens.
But it'll be St. Clair winning map one here
in this second semifinal of the day.
It felt like Razor was playing at half speed, right?
Compared to everybody else.
Every single, almost every single pulse,
landing all of these clips were lining up perfectly.
And the disguised DPS really pulling it out here to start us off in map 1.
Humberland, it was much closer of a round, I think they wanted, but he was just Razor.
I don't think, if Razor didn't play as well as he did, at any point in this game, this is a quick one.
Genuinely, and I think that was one of the core reasons we saw this beat as in control as it was.
For the St. Clair Saints, they're happy with that result and prepared to move on in our series.
Still a best of five, and I'll be Cumberland with the next map picking that.
I would say historically speaking, Cumberland for whatever reason, not great on control.
Historically, even this roster, past iteration of this roster, they just can't win control.
They must have like a 30-40% win percentage against other top 20 teams on the mode.
It's pretty bad.
It's not great.
It's pretty bad.
not great at all but you know we saw it later and earlier on and the reverse
group against Bellevue they can pick it up on the back half of the series but
you really can't give St. Clair that much space. This is a team you cannot allow
that much leverage. We'll need an answer pretty quickly here from Cumberland or
they're gonna go down to another O2. You got one reverse sweep today I don't
know if you really want to gamble getting a second one needed to book
that grand final spot. Well reverse sweeping Bellevue and then reverse
You're sleeping, St. Clair and the Gartons.
Very different things.
St. Clair, they won't loosen up.
They are a team that is quick to adapt.
Their communication is direct and to the point.
They're not holding anything back on that team.
That's part of the relationship that they have built.
As a roster, if something isn't working,
they are quick to identify, hey, dude, that's not it.
I'm going to need you to swap it up and make the change.
But it's also pretty quick.
It's coupling on their map selection.
We are actually going to go to Isperanza.
relatively fast and this map diva will be available again for both these teams
and I'm expecting it to be played here at least for St. Claire yeah Kermam not so
sure I don't think we're gonna see a time we've seen it here and there but
it's not like again it's not one of his best heroes he has a very limited hero
pool which has hurt Cumberland a few times I think in that last map I don't
think it was the V factor but I think it was a factor in how that map
What they'll say they know the emory themselves
That is a weird one really weird. I don't know how to feel about that something does not track there. Maybe that's an opposite
Well, all right, so we'll bite sojourn I guess unless
Right, it just seems
Underwhelming range to pick like if the sojourn is still available
I don't I don't know
It feels so weird to me. The M-Ray is also very good at getting away from D.Va compared to a lot of other picks
because you essentially have a second chance with the Siphon Blaster.
It's enough to turn in the tanky target or even the small one if you're good enough to land the shots on it
because of the region that you get from both using the ability and a little bit of lifesteal on that side.
But, yeah, East Perron's a pick.
Guaranteed Emre Bann is, look at that crowd
that is behind Cumberland.
This is something that we see from Cumberland
every single year, is they have multiple teams
that are competing at this nice land.
I believe that is their call of duty team that is there.
It is a requirement for all of their teams
to come and support any other Cumberland roster
that is currently competing.
I really love that for the culture.
Any player I've talked, and coach,
manager whatever I've talked to from the school,
always talk so highly of their director coach play pool on the culture that he
has made for them and this is just another great example of it.
Yeah, everybody is hanging out.
I kind of waiting for this next map to start up.
But hey, the map gets going.
It is going to get messy quite quickly here.
And Bragg is going to be the answer from a St.
Claire.
It is a popular pick for Cumberland for chef.
I kind of allows virtual kind of do whatever he wants.
So that points towards, hey, we're probably just going back to more Lucio-Curie during this map, I'm not going to see that break, Juno.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Cumberland don't really like that Lucio-Curie go as much as the support groups.
Not as much, no, they like to play something else.
Yeah. If they get the opportunity to, which, A, gets both the deny for that, but also a little more annoying, I guess, for Adiva to have to go into.
I just don't see a world in which St. Clair don't play Adiva unless you're really set on Zarya pick.
Either way, I'd be shocked with it on diva. Once we're out of this scene and we actually getting game
I'd be stunned as they're not on deep expecting a diva there
Perm rematch is still like I just don't
I have a very small sample size of his team. It is not very heavy. Yeah, so I don't I don't know I
Think a sigma's his best hero by far
We've seen that he's definitely picked up the maga and that could be something that we also see here
On this map granted it can get a little bit sticky because there's a lot of high ground and sometimes you need a cat or a
Lifeweaver or something that add a little bit of verticality
But I do think it can work on this now especially with if the brakes gone
You have no rally to deal with as you're trying to run on in
But it's also nice to have that extra armor patch when you're trying to rush
So let's see here as the teams low it on in
Yeah, there we go tread on the diva no shock at all
No, I think you're very set in half your last map, but they're just gonna make that little change and be okay with it
If Razor is keep playing like he is, it just might be GG's for Cumberland University
Which are making multiple swaps to their lineup. They do not like themselves and Cury Lucio
So how about some jetpack cat Bastion from Chef and Kate?
Mm-hmm taking a note out of Winthrop's book here a little bit
Kerm does have the ball in the back pocket
It's just balls not great in this met up
But I do think it can work in a comp like this and I'm curious though St. Claire are going to want to respond
They just flip the map immediately
Or sing St. Claire all in the back mid and now they can kind of play either side
Flashbacks to St. Clair's first series game against Texas A&M San Antonio
The exact same composition can't stand in.
Ran, exact same map that they chose to do it.
It worked the first fight from there.
The Saints add an answer at every single turn,
and it seems they might not even get past the first fight.
We already know that Bastion's form is out.
Let's just go for it.
The last multiple targets on the low ground,
both virtual and no, they are gone.
Nick Laird, now you can start to look at this Bastion
before he becomes too much of an issue in the sky.
The Saints know what they're getting themselves into.
Yeah, they don't want to figure this out, they don't know how to heal their face.
Now it will come down and stick, and the answer for now is yes,
but Virtual Dying will stall this out even further for the Saints in their favor.
Now this bot already...
Pretty much going to be near tick.
Obviously, we'll have a touch, because there's so much mobility
for the side of the Phoenix, but this is a great start for St. Clair.
Not even 90 seconds into this map.
If you can get 4th spawned this early, that is just ridiculous.
90 seconds on the dot is when Sankler get that record pace.
And because of this positioning on the high ground, the backdoor is the only thing that will really get you out of this situation.
And it helps you with not just to get Tread dead set on a virtual in the backlight.
Actually, to come up with 2, you can now just start to see why this even was banned in the first place and with no tank in the way to stop him.
Well, and what do you do if you're virtual?
It's for destroy and survive, I think.
If that's the risk right now, you take her this back, cat, past, and cop.
You are leaving the rest of your team in a 3v5.
And you just have to print it in long enough or you get a kill quick enough to even get out.
VMAX goes through on its right, but the sub-strike will be used to get him back into the equation fairly quickly.
There are a couple of trades that end up going the way of the compliments around this.
Yes, the four spawns.
Yeah, that's Virtua's third!
Alright, Razor.
Alright.
Unnecessary.
Yeah, St. Clair as a whole.
Every single flight.
I've seen Nody and Virtua go down at exactly the same time.
Yeah, they've had Virtua's number in here.
Cogged Slice.
Chef, onto the Mooryon.
Artillery will be used by Kandace as well.
I thought it's out.
Well, current over to the ramp.
Came onto the Soach.
Hall on changes.
100 meter lead to deal with not even three minutes into this matter.
So the Ember Band made sense when you were running the Bastion?
Now it hurts.
But I bet tape glitches you can't pull down on that exactly.
And Noxious speaking of her, took down Nody again.
He's also had a rough turnaround.
The Cabe, uh, looked at the demonstration.
Some breathing room with returning favor over the Razor.
Noxious though already has an overclock up.
It was an incredibly short length.
The Katsune Rush from Virtual, you could not be allowed to exist inside of them.
inside of that. Take clear though. 123 meters unanswered. Even with the amount of time that
is left, Jesse, the chances for Cumbuland out of combat are so incredibly thin.
Yeah, it's rough right now. 124 meters needed. Just to get the lead back. You basically have
to cap this map all the way through. And great, you have plenty of time to do it,
and I think these swaps will help start that turnaround but it's going to be a rough ask
here for the Phoenix. Nobody's getting a little bit of positioning, a little scouting through
early, recognizing that this rotate's going to come high ground.
Take clear, have the position that they want to work with. Burn just walks in and I think
underestimates how many players are waiting for him around that corner and which is he
She did a head count before entering the party.
Not as nightbolts, mom's sick, it's flashy,
but that's all it was.
Flashy and useless to St. Clair,
marked back towards St. Clair as well.
Portsbone's still active here for St. Clair as well.
They will look to end it.
Pulse and Beats active,
Soundbear, sorry, self-destruct from Tread
if they need to stay in the fight.
There's still nothing built up from Cumble
and other than the Pulse that's just got used
last fight to take out Naxxus,
but it was a small win and they lost battle.
Again, Bullsong do not use ultimate in these types of situations for St. Clair,
unless they see something winnable.
Alright, tempo beat! Why not, credits?
Going into this fight, if they can burn down Cribb,
now you have a very real chance of finishing this map into higher lead.
Just short of the annihilation, too, is brutal.
Poor Comberland, as they are going back to Stagrity's touch perfectly.
They make sure that their tank can get back into the fight.
Tread on the other hand is healing his cane, and I believe Virtual off on the angle Alex coming up with a double in both DPS.
The turn is back into the fight, and that's certainly an help, but all of the ultimates are available now.
Four sixs there are Paulists. It's on the turn and Chef to see what they can make of this point.
Title Blast heals him up for a chunk and yes, grabs the Razor with the rest of the tendrils.
Thank Claire, not in the position to close this one out just yet, but I would put it past them to throw out even more of these ultraman pulse bombs that they had without going down fall barretics.
Now, you can have some actual breathing.
You're gonna like it only just for a second, because of the mountain you have to climb afterwards.
Now you do have to basically finish the math.
Is that like, oh, you have a little bit of breathing room in between.
You have to finish the map in about four minutes of regulation time.
If you do not want to go down 0-2 into a very familiar position,
I would say Sinclair, this team right now is playing mad.
I don't think as much against Cumberland,
they want to rematch against Winthrop bad,
and they will do anything to get that opportunity.
And isn't that a good time to meet for a bet
that it's keeping Cumberland at zero meters on the map so far?
The ultimate's open to change the path, but noxious, simply too good on the sojourn to be stopped that partnered with a very fast built sound barrier on the reddit, and I'll get the robot back to where it was in Cumberland in a one-fight situation.
Once again. Sinclair, they're okay with this win-loss-win-loss. They build up ultimates during these fights near the spawn of Cumberland, but I don't know if they're gonna be in touch.
Oh, and it's not going to be a chef! Do you tell you that much?
So let's bolt on from Naughty and ask him to divine a whole lot of nothing on the side.
But in the neutral, virtual, and Naughty, he'll come up with what he wants to be.
Not to a better look for Phoenix, but if you're St. Clair, you don't need to win anything right now.
Just waste the remaining three minutes, and you will just find yourselves a map win.
They're going to just keep working the fight near mid, and they keep losing the fight in the smog of Cumberland.
And they'll be completely content with that.
Right now, still a hundred and forty meter lead, zero meters on the board for Cumberland,
with only two and a half minutes to play in a regulation.
Tret already died into the back right, forces K-2 back up, and it now has an ice sight.
Ah, perfect.
You have to drop the poster, and then somehow manage to drop it a second time.
And it may be a third.
It may be a third.
Ms. St. Clair, to lose this map with the positioning and space that they have,
they're just chilling on this high-grey bridge.
No one's going to lose the place today, so Dr. St. Clair is very, very happy.
Virtual as a Tune Russo, to lay down, Dr. St. Clair's got run down, but instead, shit!
We'll lose out on his life.
In the meantime, no loose gal is to show, and I know St. Clair don't want to give up any meters.
He might not have a choice.
The one positive for Crumble is that there's four spawns every second, so I think the red
accent of the game matches both got four spawns, but everything's going a bit wide, like the
pulse bomb right there from Noti, and this win-loss-win-loss cycle continues for St. Clair
and they will be completely content with it.
It feels like we're kind of just dragging this out.
Feels like the end result of this map almost to guaranteed.
St. Clair will be going up to a 2-0,
but what can Cumberland do to get any sort of momentum back
before round three?
At this point, any of you are kind of exactly,
this is pretty much lost.
This is done, yeah.
For Cumberland, if you can have some pop off play,
some really good team fight,
I think that makes you feel better.
I'm solid, Ray.
You kind of show up as Cabe.
It's worked out with it, oh, fuck.
You know what I like at least I can keep them in it's just been holding on to the self-destruct
I swear for like four minutes
Loach does not care
It's either he dies super late and the fights already done or the winning the fight he doesn't need it
Well good news they got meters
That guy meters it is not a shut up
That's a momentum boost
I know I know that feels like Sultan the moon I think
I don't know
Yeah I don't know
I don't know
I'm getting something to walk around, but you at least got a pillow in the locker to help you when you feel a little bit more comfortable like, yeah, I don't know about that much.
Well, yeah, they become the locker, of course, to be there, so you'll make work with them.
You've got a great old time with the annihilation that lasted approximately three seconds, and they're all in the same place.
There's this book that's the opposite direction.
And he's about to fight now. On to the map of Ysperon Zaryx, but the sound barrier is
checked. Fast to respond, and the couple that aren't going to push us further would be the
fight to do so. They need to stay on the robot, meaning their positioning is much more locked.
But what a shot from not just point blank, I know he's dumb. Nothing he could've done
about that was. And Snake's and Claire are going to like to clone this out in a
near, sweet, of a map.
And what a message to send to Convalent University.
You can beat us once, but this is St. Clair on land,
ready for Grand Flames.
St.'s unleashed here in Orlando.
It feels like there is nothing they can do wrong
in this series right now.
One map away from that rematch against St. Clair,
they have won it for quite some time.
Who else? Treadage has been an absolute beast in this series.
So has Rether, everybody.
It's lighting it up in the kill feed.
And this has just been an excellent game so far.
From St. Clair.
Now the question is for Crumberland.
What do you have left in the tank?
I do wonder if the fatigue has started to set in.
Again, these teams have been playing since 9am local time.
We are now at 5pm local time.
They've been here for 8 hours.
Yeah, they've had a little break here and there.
Recumberland have played a lot of maps today compared to St. Clair.
And I wonder if the exhaustion, maybe not being as sharp on some of these changes.
You wonder if that's being a case for right now.
St. Clair, they've just been looking unbelievable in this series.
And this is series number four, best of five number four for
Cumberland because they had that loss.
And in that match, it also included Eriver Sweep.
So, that's a lot of Overwatch that are playing at a high level, and I think they came into this with a decent amount of gas,
but it almost seems like they burnt all the tank there, running on fumes at the start of each bronze,
and may have truly sputtered out as when we head into our last map.
I don't want to give up hope. They are a team that has shown they can rally, and did it last night.
The reverse swept Bellevue and St. Clair to very different teams of vastly different skill levels.
Atlas will be the final pick for Cumberland University and they will ban Kiriko so it guarantees them one of their non-Lucy O'Kiri comps.
Yeah, they can finally play non-Lucy O'Kiri. Don't feel like they'd feel pressured for it.
I will say Alex has been doing an unreal job on the Kitter Co for St. Clair and virtual hasn't had that same level of impact that he typically does.
On that hero to make sense to ban it out and the answer will be the Maga they can they can feel the the writing on the wall
Hey, there's the potential for some funny business here and a similar st. Claire moves so the Maga will get set away
And again, it'll be Diva for Tread. It's just what is the answer here from a Cumberland or Machra?
probably
Okay, so I think if Moga is silly business, Ramatra serious business.
I don't know, I feel like it's characters.
It's characters, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I thought you meant by performance.
I'm like, I don't know.
That's kind of maybe the opposite of right now.
Really? You think Moga is more serious gameplay than Ramatra?
I mean, with end results for this team.
Maybe not.
Again, I'm never going to say I'm a fan of Moga Overwatch.
That is just never a sense that's coming out of my mouth.
that's coming out of Malgo versus Malgo overwatch.
I'm not a fan of this.
Now, Malgo on one team and another team on somebody else.
That's okay.
But watching two Malgos stand still
and then press E and then shoot each other.
That's a whole different situation.
That's a little sticky.
Yeah.
Big support group behind Cumberland
as we see their teammates, their school members,
coaches, staff lined up behind them,
give them all their energy
and they're going to need it.
Is Atlas the last map pick?
that the Phoenix will have in this series.
If they reverse sweep, it will be on St. Clair's terms.
St. Clair, I don't think they're a team
that will give you that much room.
I'm just gonna be honest, they are not a team
that's going to allow you that much space.
They push our forward.
I won't lie.
I am shocked we did not see Cumberland pick Midtown.
It has been one of the most comfortable maps
of the season.
I don't know if maybe Scrim results
aren't falling their way recently on it.
Maybe you're just starting to figure it out that Tom, but they were so good on mid-touch open.
I'm shocked that we have not seen it today.
But hey, maybe we have not been in terms, maybe something's been changing over there, trying something else.
But yeah, it's just weird. It's very weird.
I really would have thought we would have seen that or even like a Havana and put in Kerm on the signal.
Neither of those things I've been to case in this one, but maybe sometimes you got to try something different.
Maybe Atlas is the one that can start bringing in their own another potential reverse sweep for Cumberland, but they got a long way to go before that's even remotely close to a possible.
And this is what I'll say about Atlas. If you want to similar with most other Flashpoints, if you have a team that is, I think getting a little mechanically dipped in some angles,
Flashpoint has been a map where they can even that out to a degree
If you ever hear it seem like a handicap in bowling to kind of compensate and make those competitions a little bit closer
I almost think that way it ran into a very small degree on this map in particular
We've seen it with MC state Cumberland wants to see if their luck is on their side still on the rematch
Ruck came back on his M-Rank with their signature
Juno break
This is kind of a signature comp recently for Cumberland usually just the Sigma enough to ram but you can't really run that
Against what St. Clair have been doing these very quick comps noxious and eventually
match the M-Rate
Okay, especially in so long range these games have a lot of nice bounce angles as well
So it makes sense why the swap was made already
sending noity in the recall and that is a bat-nade onto the Cumberland back line
We'll ride a protocol, but it's ready!
He went to the door and he's going down first.
He's fighting St. Clair, getting the first cap.
Noti finding himself in the guilty a little here at the start of round number one,
which is that the Razor shot.
And I'm saying Claire for the majority, so seeing him get more time to shine
is a good thing for the Phoenix.
Yeah, it's been oddly quiet.
One of the big things in their upset was Noti kind of popping off
and winning a lot of these Tracer rules.
It has not been the case today.
Razor has had his number and at some point if Cumberland are going to start bringing this back that has to be
One of the factors that does change, nobody close to that pulse gun already
And it's kind of teasing a little bit with Razor at this point trying to force the recall early and eventually it will
Well, nevermind, the recall is back to spawn.
Razor used all of his blinks just to go get the mini health pack
I didn't expect to be able to burst him in the head. Underestimate that amount of damage. It is scary what an M-Ray can do.
I hope I'm going to be wide to get the value. I want to pick on to Alex. We got to say, Cumberland looking a lot better here on Atlas this far.
Yes, they look like they will get this first flash point. It should be a touch though.
to extend this out. The hazard has had a ton of room to play around and come on
something pretty stacked and not allowing the one-to-two ones that Tread is eyeing for.
No, and Tread being on the hazard here, you fight for this one-to-one. Those are kind of your live
and die, and the DPS have been shut out for the most part. It's only valid that people are
getting anxious in the kill feed for the first time, and it really opens the door for Tread
to get in there without getting instantly bursted out of the fight, and it will
I hope you have the Saints, some breathing room on point one.
Another gonna have to set up, because even when they capped earlier, it was kinda during
the middle of the fight, didn't really have any time to get set up on this high ground,
especially with Noxious.
So now they can take their time, crumbling, have a lot of ult stuff, orbital rain, over
ride, annihilation, rally soon to come, but same thing can be said on the other
side, four ult units, four Sinclair, get ready for some Qs.
Oh, yeah, some queues, all the queues, all the shiny buttons, the light shining buttons in this house,
all that especially Salamary Adherentics. As good as that is, it barely keeps him alive through all the chaos.
In fact, he will end up falling alongside the rest of the team to overgrade.
This lasted way longer than it overheld the dead.
And now Fast Cumberland, shoot their way through it, will be a flip longer for the Phoenix,
and the point of station to go along with it.
3 ults from both teams, but having that overall array is a big difference maker in wild fights like that.
Cumberland win Flashpoint 1, and lead 1-0, and again, these reverse moves gotta start somewhere, everybody.
Maybe it's starting up here on Atlas.
Override protocol is super good on this Flashpoint as well,
because you can still stay high up and have a nice angle over on the point.
Stratahas switched it up, though, giving up on the Hazard experiment, going back to the old and classic team.
Yeah, I think the Houser was just for station, because it's indoors, leave up, anything that flies in the ceiling of the station, not the friends, came over right protocol.
One of those many flying things, Renix was flying and now he is six feet under the ground, great value out of game.
Very happy to have this one unbanned, even if it was Cumberland don't do it.
Yeah, clean fight right there.
You can tell C.A.P. is like, oh, there is a D.V. here, alright, well I guess I'll wait a second, wait for the boosters to get used, and then I'll go away with my ult.
But it works out perfectly. Razor now has the pulse though, to find some sort of answer. Ideally, you would think, on this chef, it's kind of...
Razor's gonna oddly play it. So far, Atlas, though, it's a very odd thing to say, considering how the first two maps of this series have gone, and that is just...
Think a team shot, undeniable, but it'd be the final blow from Kirby.
Yeah, we're like, all five players have to participate.
Like there's no way.
And he just dies from the Rematch of Primary Fire to start that bit.
You mentioned Razor being quiet?
Because nobody's being loud.
Only one tracer, we've really seen talk at a time
in a situation where there's no conversations off and go.
And all these duels, the results of them
determine these fights.
Doesn't like Nox just is back at this point in time.
But if not of impacts that he will have, ugh, it's a beat.
It'll be when you're early and lamp all these miles, it just gets ran down off screen.
Remember, when you're no chill whatsoever, eventually Tread is able to find one, but I think it's a little bit too little too late.
And it'll be 2-0 on Atlas. One more to go and really send us to a map 4.
I told you, if we were going to see a team turn it around.
What?
But, point Atlas? Don't know why that happens.
Uh, Tread is just... I mean, he'll be fine. He'll be able to get out, but...
Really would have liked to save back for this next battle.
I don't know though, uh, whoops, an ego hit? I don't know.
I think he wanted to make sure they got the position.
Yeah, and I can understand that.
To a degree, still 4 ultimates now, soon to be 5.
4 combo and this could be a long day, but Redix,
could come up clutched, so I'm buried just 5 away.
I mean, that might have been one of those things.
Now, 5 of them have that question.
Rally is out of chef, and this is the pressure of the Razor.
Not just, you know, more confident,
he pulls out his own pulse in the O'Frey protocol,
but he doesn't get the sound barriers.
And once you jump down to Earth,
I'm always scared for his future.
Virtual Mel is at since time has shined,
and the sound barrier health has gone over the rank.
Go ahead and close it out.
So it turns out it needing to be four committed
from Cumberland is definitely more than they wanted,
but wasn't actually cheap, per se, Clary.
Knowing Shred makes another swap. Now onto the Orisa.
Ehh!
Just wanting to match up up close and personal with Kerm.
Now, wanting to try and deal with his high grounds, pushes any more,
and Natchez will go off of the Emory, and onto the Silas.
Any more consistent damage, can help with that destruction shot.
To try and take care of Kerm, and what a pull from Kerm.
And filled by Natchez and Shred, and going for a swim?
Kerm just, I want to throw it.
I don't know if that was needed, but it's probably fair.
I maybe just wanted to win the fight faster, honestly I would have benefited the Mitchell Whip.
Yeah, they wanted it probably a little bit longer, I was like, uh, guys, it's not bad.
Maybe you got a little excited with no jab, spin, or jab to worry about during the rest of the fight.
But no, one fight away is Cumberland from sending us to a map floor.
Paul's still in the hands of Razor, looking for it.
No cleanse to worry about with the Kiriko Band.
And he's been good about sticking these two out again.
He's been really good.
This has been Nody's map, Razor.
Another silent so far
Jesus Juno that really wants to go for it
But it is such a risk to try to stick that minute air that swaps targets the team Allen goes wide and it's still
No, no, no, no
I'm hunting for a bit that nobody was already in the background doing the dirty work
Cumberland three oh
On the Atlas to keep their heads above water and get their first map off of st. Clair
Do I smell another potential reverse sweep?
Don't say that again.
I said potential, I'm not jinxing.
But hey, it has to start somewhere.
And that was the best we've seen Cumberland today.
Well, Bellevue, that final map was also pretty defined, but this is the Cumberland we thought
we could see this weekend.
Well, I mean, guys, this bush is here.
Guys, guys, annihilation.
Two, go.
So that was, you know, great place here, but now the map power returns to the favor of
Saint Clair, and you got both Hybrid and Escort remaining, which is, I would rather pick a
Hybrid or Escort rather than a Flashpoint or a Flush, you have a little bit more distinction
in what you want to pick, but hey, you got to start somewhere and come on and do at
least win one of their map picks, but now the power returns to the Saints.
I mean I have a very fun map quote that I was kind of waiting to pull out
Here we go. Where is it?
It is from the manager of Cumberland's Overwatch team
He's not here with them today
But he said that Cumberland loves going to map 5 for a lot of the game
For the love of the drafts
All for you Cumberland here for you
And I do think there's a lot of realism to it. This team performs under pressure
Yeah, it almost feels like they need that level of pressure to perform is the best you see from nobody all day
Which I wasn't going to call it out. He was not playing he was struggling for two maps
So now I think with that pressure
There I kept force the performance now and it gives him that boost of confidence that is going to be needed
If you are going to force this all the way to a map five and potentially pull off a reverse sweep
St. Clair on the other side though. This is also Flashpoint and as I said before if we are going to see a team
Take a map off more often than not it tends to be this game out
Yeah, Flashpoint can get a little bit out of your hands pretty quickly
Yes, and I think that was just the case there. Cumberland got rolling
St. Clair really couldn't recover the ultimate economy was fantastic there from Cumberland is the canvas move
We're now actually getting a look at the other side of the venue where St. Clair have been set up
I bet you have pretty good crowd over there too.
I love that.
Watching this, I think, yeah, because we are the final game
of today, venue-wide, I believe, unless Smash Bros.
are hiding somewhere in the vicinity.
But I'm not sure where they're all set up.
Yeah, I think it is only overwatched.
Only this match that is still being played.
We are the content today.
Exactly.
At least that's left.
I'm trying to, like, people watch right now,
see if I don't have any faces.
It's so fun.
I love having venue cameras like this.
I'm trying to figure out.
I see their director.
Call us out later when we're walking around like,
why not watch it
that's a lot of fun uh... some fun catches
on the on the right cast today
from uh... from people there was some shenanigans going on
uh... from carpenter when you figured out what the camera was during the
one i missed that i'll have to go back in and watch and i stayed here i had to
work a certain two numbers
initiated i'm gonna say said we couldn't hear it but uh... chat use
your imagination you can probably guess
Yeah, it's really cool to see all of this on people.
I mean, who do I see?
I see the director of Mace right in front of us, Riley.
Fantastic individual.
Lead operations JJ is there.
We got, oh, St. Clairs director.
I see in the back, his head is a little reflective today.
Show us a little easy to see.
Just a little bit easy to point out in the crowd.
Keeping design on his team.
I see Crybaby from Texas A&M, San Antonio.
Again, big crowd here to still support these players,
even if all the other games have wrapped up
and make sure that they have the best performance possible,
which I think in the case of St. Clair,
you're going to make this break as long as you can,
just so that you can,
why don't I give yourself some time to think,
but perhaps time for Cumberland to cool off?
Yeah, just a little bit of time, like, hey guys,
we just take a little bit of extra time with this map here,
take a little bit of time with the game,
and we'll figure it out from there.
We actually, we're gonna run a quick break, everybody,
let these teams figure out what they're doing.
We'll be back with the finish of this series between St. Clair and Cumberland.
Stay tuned, everybody.
I
I think our college seemed to have everything figured out in this semifinal completely stomping
their way through map number two in each bronza.
Prime to take it away.
And then we went to Atlas.
Jesse, full sweep in the opposite direction.
Cumberland University proving they are very much still in this game.
But are they ready for real toe first pick? We will see from Saint Claire at the time being and Juno is
Taking away
Yeah, the Juno break a pretty strong in there from Cumberland to you take out the half that you haven't banned out yet
And you come over like you're sick of this razor guy. We're like we're just we're done with the tracer
Even if Cumberland, I think nobody's been playing better. I think regardless they were going to have a different game plan here
whether it be a Symmetra, a May, something else usually is up here.
Cumberland Art Team, they have just the most random niche comps
that we see once in a great while. I have a feeling this is going to be one of those.
We may actually finally get to see that sing from Kerm, who we haven't got to see at all today.
So that might be something we get to see just for a little bit.
And we have Kerm's signal being made, and we're also entering borderline cheese
Cumberland territory, I don't think you play Lucille Curico on this map. You have a lot of options
I play like the Laurie Anna
Maybe not those two yeah, I mean good, but
Those aren't heroes like that. We'll be there now. We are in fact going to Rialto not back to Alice as much as I'm sure
They would love that
Nice and pretty
It's pretty cool.
The Exolvary Swift Step.
Yeah, that's a pretty far Swift Step if you think about it.
The range at Stadium is pretty crazy.
You know, I don't wear it on the stadium.
You know what's pretty crazy though?
Raven's quality.
That was a good one.
We're trying to get in-ment of you with some of these reads, everybody,
but yes, one of the things to our partners at Raven's EP,
Raven is the official merchandise partner of days
of days in the premiere platform for creating your dream custom gear. Whether you're outfitting a
team or building your brand, Raven gives schools everything they need to look there at best.
Visit raven.gg to start creating today for your program. But yeah, they cover maybe creating a
little bit of magic in map 3. Can they continue that out now here on RealTow? St. Clair's first
first map pick since map one, which was pretty close, I will say, but you know, it's Lijon,
so everybody finds this Lijon.
Rielto, I feel like it's one that we see in collegiate often these days.
It's been a lot of like, jambali, watch-playing Gibraltar is a huge one, and either of these
teams wanted that, but Jambali didn't, considering they have a tread for the tank side, a new
diva van available.
Yeah, it will be this real so matches tends to be a little more flexible what you can do in compositions
It actually won't be the sigma for Converlin
I will start on that rematch up with it on a way on back
Hmm. So poke poke poke just without the poke thing
And then no idea they're kind of I think these one play more with the verticality maybe with the Genji
is my guest St. Clair not sure what they're doing yet. Naxx just made his
poke out of initially with the Widow, see if they can find anything early. It is one
of the few maps that Widow can be played long term. I wouldn't recommend
playing her long term and I think Cumberland respect the fact that it
well I can't be careful my friend. That is not an angle you want to peek.
Kind of questioning how long Noxious would be there.
Sometimes we wonder what the object permanence of some of our players is.
This time though, Kay nailed that past the test.
The Razor being on the Spawn will clear a bunch of space.
Or this St. Clair roster will be able to get over this first chunk.
It's really only Kay who is the threat to Razor.
He has to be cautious on that position until he can mark where they are.
Very quick pause from Cumbulant as we go into the map, so presumably small tank issue that we will get back to shortly
Yeah, we'll get to it in just a minute
But hey, it's at least early that we found the pause right it's not too long into the fight. Nobody's died yet
It looks like I don't know if it was current Kerm was only 8% alt which is a little odd
Maybe it was Kerm to hit the tank issue. Well, no, I don't know
I don't think curb was moving so yeah, I don't know I wasn't really looking at curb
I won't look to see where razor was in the air and where
Potential angle from a cave was going to be that was one of the things we said cave
You know oftentimes be an X factor on this team
We hadn't really seen him pop off a ton and Atlas. He had some great moments
And even a map to he had some good moments here and there
But it hasn't been anything too crazy so far in this one
Maybe we'll see that kind of return now here in a reality where it's going to be a battle of the head scans a lot of the
Time him and noxious which again, it's great to see noxious back into the break
Kind of took a break from collegiate for a year now playing once again and already on the kill feed taking all their double-gainer up
Okay.
Yeah, it was so...
What a perfect win!
Just fit the barrier if you were to stop it.
I was like, you knew it was gonna happen.
That...
Yeah, Sinclair.
Quick to clear out this high ground, and I fear without having that set position in
Cumberland, kind of a difficult time staying back to the payload.
Your fourth shot is just...
Stuck.
Uh, this should have a touch here.
Notice that I'm the Echo now.
Partially in response to the far pick from a Razor.
No, he doesn't really play for all that often so I'm not surprised they're gonna go the actual step
If anything it's a good decent matchup into razors for a if we can land the cooldowns properly
Especially the sticky bombs
Sinclair I want a bit of a robot on the point I think having firms and watchra
This is where it's gonna feel the most potent like getting these last couple of meters on the objective
You have to get around the back and find another camp.
In this case, it is no D that Tregal Madness will finish off after Noxus got a nice and low.
If I could have a very short hold for Cumberland, which that is not the spot you wanted to be,
so does with Noxus, starting to come back alive.
Noxus starting to heat up here in Rielto.
And now we'll see how Cumberland wants to answer, but I don't really have reason to say who anybody want to peek out.
Got early never mind don't want to fight the echo not a great fight if you are at the far
Thank our all to go lower and just look at shooting rush from Alex needed in that last fight
Converlain at least and starting to build some relates walk from no need. He hasn't built it up quite yet. However
You're already in two so off to a good start on that prediction. That's number three
He dumped on the virtual head in the back line,
came, let's be careful working Lance,
actually comes back down.
Right about that sound barrier for St. Clair
to give him that last level oomph,
they need and fully recovered
from those right protocol damage to get them on through.
It was four, I knew what was gonna happen,
not maybe not exactly those four.
It works out for St. Clair in the end.
We'll keep moving.
Yeah, the numbers are even if not
maybe it's the exact equation we thought
it was going to be,
3 and a half minutes to boost up for Naxxus
They already tried to go
She's up in the air, but it may not matter
I don't see a touch here
I see something there
Yeah, but it
Wait, a second
I was gonna say, you get that burst healing
from Chef's Tidal Blast
but it was right before all the burst damage came in
from St. Clair
so it was cancelled out in the end
That is here 5 minutes to get through third point
This is a snowball in the half
Garmblin has to find a way to stop it now
And some swaps we made to try and find that answer virtual back out the key to go chef on break cave on a cast
Maybe this is the answer they need but it has been a rough round of you or a cumberland fan and an incredible map so far
if you're a sage man
Get out from the nodey the second diva now for cumberland to use it
That's not even doing too much, and how low his health bar is, and everything.
Sinclair, stopping to back off, respect it, and I wanted to face Tank, though, the second Tank, temporarily.
Out of notice, and once he's out, to the Saints, returning on in for their Bust and Suit 8 Rush to do it.
I'll be the red carpet on Elm, and Kerm. What's the pain in purple? It's apparently his favorite color, I agree.
It is a fantastic one to work with, but it is virtual, and actually finds two.
with the headjump the support line of Gondolin getting in on the action and seeing that the DPS have fun
bought their names in the kill feed as well. St. Clair will be forced to reset.
Well say, Rizzo, you are not getting out of that. I'm just like, I don't know what he thought was going to happen.
Uh, Tread, this final phase of the map, Dive isn't as great.
You're going to be more of that kind of tradition of poke or rush.
That is why the Ram will be matched out now by Tread.
And that's why Nody immediately swaps over to the mage
They want to have that front line advantage even if it means a little bit more pressure
Well, no, he's dead to a lot more pressure on occasion
I was absolutely watching the health bars and then I just saw Nody died
I had to be some sort of team fire. Yeah went into that the same player
They're just good at winning his fights in the neutral and and yes
It is mostly on them the park like a Cumberland
Left-handing his position is their thing.
Yeah, this, I've created already about 2-2.5 minutes taken off the time bank before they actually entered this final straight.
But still, a lot of work to be done and that is not a great start for the Phoenix. Just sniped out of spawn as Cade.
Yeah, and that means free-range or Razor.
Now without the hit-stand, to put an end to his thought effect, it's just beginning!
Beginning as Blanche on and out, not that Kerm cared about that in the sledge, just to get him tickled in the back of the amount of health that he had.
Then I came out from Kaizen, then I got a couple players alone, didn't do all that much, the rally over there, that was a triple stun, now Kaizen is letting in the shots.
There'll be two on over to his name as Carmelid will destabilize just before the full completion happens.
Hey, progress is progress. Even if it is stopping the enemy's progress for once.
Two minutes still. Four St. Clair on the time bank. Still a lot to go. They can build up another run.
Probably a dry fight. If you can drag out the Blizzard from Nody, I think that's a win.
If you are a St. Clair, but they've done it. Like you said, a great job of winning these vanilla fights.
Trying to pull another one out early. They've been a nice little offender though. Not sure if it's noted quite yet.
And this guy's looking for spot revenge, just going back over to where the team is, good.
I got back to 4th, keeping St. Clair guessing, red X though,
found out the hard way that there was a cowboy working around that specific angle, virtual,
humbling his life, it was added to the charge shot, noxious.
I didn't think they were just waiting for this decideration to go down the map,
but now that they have an executive block, try the melee, I can't really tell,
I'm trying to wave, that's gone, and so is noxious, frozen into a obstacle,
See, but that's not okay! Dreadcil comes up with two, despite all of the chaos that was happening, and the blizzard in his face.
New rematches holding blocks in front of each other. It's absolutely exhilarating!
Not as much as his Mirage, more like Victory Fireworks.
Four State Claire, they will get that full completion just under a minute, still on the clock.
Okay, St. Clair, we can just block. We'll do a block party.
A little bit, but an extra little support there for the Saints.
They have what five just over five minutes going into this so having a little bit of not as much time as you thought you'd maybe have going into this
In an overtime situation still a very good time bank for St. Clair. Yeah, you can see look at this
Everybody in double digits for St. Clair not a single member of Cumberland is
That's kind of how this map was gone so far Molly
In fact, Cave is the only one that's positive on that team.
And that wasn't really until he swapped Cassidy to it.
Like, he was seriously struggling down first, almost every fight throughout first and second point.
You just can't get this action going.
I don't know if it's because of Tracer Man,
because you can't get through the base, this Razor Pharah.
But if anything, I got a point, Noxious, if we're actually going to be playing Fingers of People.
He's been getting the MRA GIF by far, and if you're going to do that,
You're just kind of free to do whatever you want set up on these high ground angles
And it just gets so much easier when you're on the defense because it's given to you
Let's see. Yeah, I think the noxious if we're really gonna see the fireworks
So we're gonna be back in like overwatch world cup 23 like that kind of form obnoxious
And you can tell red X always ready for a mean
Let's see mr. Gilduck himself
I think it's a little risky to imagine this caliber.
They know it would be coming, so.
And we'll see what Caven's are going to be back on the game.
M-rank for now.
No speed for this cumberland theme.
And that's a bit scary.
We know they don't like to run the Lucio unless they have to,
but you match up like this.
I fear it may be needed for the likes of a robot turn.
Yes, we're going to get thrown around.
It's going to struggle to close the gap.
Red X and his team out of a tricky situation, but he's got to find his point a little bit more than anything
Trying to be cumberland right now
gaining a diagram control for the time being just trying to pin off Trenton Razor
But that is going to be a tough order when you got a far right in your face
Razor is to such a friend in the sky
It's get only cave you can realistically contest him now
That's the pick you're looking for if you are cumberland pulling the red X on the far angle
This payload's been moving the whole time.
It's only now that this angel like, wait a minute, something's up.
We need to rotate and make sure they push top to top.
Nice little backside position here from Cromerlin.
The Razor never dies.
Still sticking around is trying to be that off-angle pest.
For St. Clair, trying to divide a little bit of that attention
to open up the door for now to have been thrown.
But instead, it is Trat that goes out of mech.
Yeah, Trat out of mech.
And Cromerlin almost got a flip of the script
What St. Clair was able to do on their own?
First-cold attack, group-to-group, make it to an easy razor, dealing real threat.
It still remains for his team, triple kill, for Kern.
That's a fantastic time-bake, considering how much Comberland struggled at the start of this map.
All about a 30-second difference from what St. Clair had during their attack.
So, a very workable situation here for Comberland, but a lot of work still needed.
And they want to continue this series onward.
Both support also be up.
Overage protocol student to calm us the DPS all through St. Clair that are locked and loaded
Because we saw
Ready to go here in a moment
He's not even going to meet it the combined efforts of chef and virtual are plenty with Phoenix to keep this pale
on the move
3-on immediately knowing that time. It's not like oh, we can kind of just do whatever we can have a lot of people set up
Forward no you need a lot of people on this car at least early before these fights go off
To try and catch up on the deficit that you put yourselves in early treasure
Alex in the back
It's going to be nice for Nody to come in and finish up business in the back, actually turn her out in a second, on to Razor, something about being under pressure and Nody, those two things can go so well together, four compilants, that's going to get them the third point, nearly five minutes, Jesse, to work with.
They are cooking in this map.
And it's a great trend now.
Back out of the rematch room.
Right, again, this phase of the map makes complete sense.
But what is it with the Phoenix today?
Back half of these series, all of a sudden,
it's like a switched turn in their heads.
Four and a half minutes, Razor has yet to use the broads.
He's yet to be a good opportunity to.
I feel like they need to be faced with the reality of,
hey, we're going to lose.
We've got to swap this, I think, in St. Clair. That's a good start.
Yeah, that should shut down, honestly. I cannot imagine trouble if it continues.
What?
After a pick like that, that was some pretty sick mechanics, and I don't want to get Razor out of the fight.
And I think for St. Clair too, it seems like they haven't been able to take fights on their own terms at all until now.
Yeah, that's the first fight they really kind of got to decide anything about.
And now they can slow the pace down a little bit,
Still way out of that barrage, keeping it nice and tight.
I don't know what secret he's got in there, but Razor's cooking up something.
Sombarier is here as well, still from Red X to answer the blade or annihilation from Cumberland.
But now pushing into the spark and bouncing around a lot of this natural architecture,
makes it a little bit tricky to get that early shot.
We got this chick damage, this is someone who can kinda get the picks and the controls.
If Jave has been good at setting up Noody, that's when Benji rides in,
following up on each host's damage, or in this case, starting them yourself.
Get the sound barrier, you're out of breath, it's like, great, my job is done.
I scared them, enough big ultimate, go bye-bye.
Kerm can now walk in with his own annihilation, to use more of his wide attack,
then the secured Banner Razor, still no barrage,
to come out of this player with St. Clair falling back,
using noxious overpull on almost as hard as to get them out of the line of fire,
They're not done. Virtual lays out the Kitsune rush, Knox is in a heap of trouble.
Great healing out of Alex, plus the Suzy will eventually keep him up.
There's that brawler we were talking about, but throw him right back in his face!
Cumberland! With an Olex set in Don, we got actually Steereld on their own attack,
flipping around, and managed to almost triple the time bank size.
So you know earlier, I said like, oh, they have an uphill battle.
They have a lot of work to do if they want to have a decent overtime bank.
Bid it exactly that.
Two-minute advantage going into overtime.
And this script has sort of made St. Clair maybe in their victory march
to that grand final, so now Cumberland looking like they could force it
to a map five.
Just a wild turn of events here in Rialto.
Reminder, Cape was the only player who has a positive KD
heading out of that defense.
Every single player without positive curve, especially 21 and 9 now,
almost matching Cade after a pretty rough defense to say the very least.
Okay, St. Clair, gotta get your bearings back together.
Yes.
They did a fantastic job of shutting down Cade before.
I was mostly out of noxious,
which it seems like they're gonna start him on the soldier this time.
I like that. I do really like that.
I will say it's more razor. I'm not so sure about it this far off.
That was a weird, a lot of weird decisions.
That's a lot of awkward decisions going on.
And Granted, what else is there really going to play?
He has the Genji?
I don't- I think this bar is better than his Genji, and maybe that's just the angle that they are trying to go at here.
But let's see, one minute on the clock, let's see how far St. Clair can go, what's the bar they set for the Phoenix once we swap sides one more time.
One minute is not a lot of time.
Oh, we also, this first point can take forever to get through, just stage yourself to get to an actual fight you want to take as an attacker and you're not even gonna get it Cabe!
As he drops down, just lasers Razor out of the sky, already off to a rough start.
For Saint Clair, this Tread is gonna fight for his life and now we see Razor swan.
Onto the main will try and help out shred in the front line a little bit not just is out on coast
Trying to create a little bit of a distraction crying creates in space and has done so st. Claire now
We're finally able to rotate over the corner
Great ball brought up the backs at both current and virtual
So much trouble doesn't have time to pop the ice block
Punching bag and st. Claire that is the lowest bar
So this one minute time bank, that they have a copperland, start to sing their praises and starting to feel them come to life.
This is so difficult, three minutes Jesse, three.
This is wild.
It's very rare that I'm speechless on a cast.
If you know me well enough, I love to yapper.
I mean, you are a professional yapper.
I'm a professional, semi-professional yapper.
I'm speechless. It's been a long time. We've seen this type of a turnaround of made a map
Like they looked out of it during when by the time Sinclair started third phase what five minutes they had on time bank
Cumberland looked so lost in this series
Something has turned around internally. I don't know who it was that brought up the energy in this team
But it has been working
257 on the clock, we're coming to go. Just 47 meters and if they do, we are destined for
another map 5 with Cumberland. Again, I guess they love map 5, maybe not the most comfortable
ride to get over there but looking like that will be the destination but St. Clair, you
never know, could pull it out. You can never count out this team. At any circumstance,
even though this looks hard.
Yeah, it's not impossible by any means, but it's not even that I don't think they can do it.
They look out of it. Like, I don't know what happened between the sides switching,
but what went from them controlling nearly every flight flipped on its head.
They look like the ones that are running around like chickens without heads.
Okay, Gables dies in the company.
Her name's there, he'll be fine, but probably swapping back over to that M-Rape match.
You got close hold of this like nobody's business.
And Nody already like, what up?
Okay.
Hits the Clemsel, but does die for it.
And Cumberland like, yeah, we don't need this fight.
We're gonna back up.
We have plenty of time to play with to allow the, you know, 10 seconds for Nody to get
back into this fight.
Okay, Nody this is silly.
We're gonna be back up.
I'm not worried yet.
We'll talk about worrying things like that later.
From out St. Clair, filling the back up and pulled onto his corner, not just for an angle on the side, poking in and out, never wanting to stay in the same spot.
All that long.
This is still so early in this game, so it's going to tum down to somebody who grabbed the kick, looking at Razor.
In fact, no, it is Razor who got obliterated by Pave.
He's had his number, without the Streets of Razor, it just has not been able to play the game.
Gumberland are going to take us to a map 5.
They like to go there for the love of the game, whether that is true or not.
That's where we are going to find ourselves, a potential reverse sweep at the biggest upsets of our naysvarsity bracket.
Madness. We have not made quite yet, but it is pure madness here in Orlando.
Played again Ghost Arraser. Alright, this was gonna have a finishing touch on the St. Clair attack.
It just wasn't enough in this one. Cumberland bring us to five.
We'll be going to hybrid for the final map of this series and the final map of the day.
day again we've been here since what 9 a.m. we're approaching nine hours of
overwatch and we're not done yet everybody you could have got all your
drops today by the way if you started with us the beginning of the day you
got all your drops already congrats stay for the more action because this is an
unbelievable match that we got right now St. Clair going down here utter
devastation wild utter devastation they have missed they have not made
finals a single year that they have built this roster because of Illinois State
being in the mix and Maryville, and Maryville, you've all of these teams that were in the way with this
finally being the year the one that you looked far and away as the better team to
have Cumberland push you the distance. It would be one heck of a turn around and
one heck of a story to take home. Cumberland need to be under pressure to perform. This
This is a team that needs to have their backs against the wall on a map 5 and then in that
map they have their backs against the wall again.
Again.
You need to have double pressure now to get them to lock on in.
I do worry that Tracer is available.
Yeah.
Razor will be back on his character.
However, Nody has proven that he can take him on under the right circumstances.
In the right situation.
Razor has definitely gotten the better of the duel today.
It's been about like I would say 65-35.
It was like 80-20 for a good chunk of this series, but nobody has been feeling better
on the second half of this series.
Who knew the Karma Ramatra would be one of the big things we've been talking about today.
And it's just been unreal.
Again, this is not something I thought we were going to see today.
I'm going to be adding to those first two maps, like man, like Cumberland, if they
were going to do it, they had to do one of those first two maps.
They weren't able to do it.
All of a sudden they start creeping back in, creeping back in.
Well, I don't know what it is with this team. They've done it. They've had map sixes this year. They've had a ton of map fives
Why not throw us another one here on the biggest stage?
Well, I did that we are we can check that one off the bucket list
That as for how that map five goes it will be a hybrid your options are new Bonnie highly doubt. We go to the body
They're on pretty good. Now midtown or blizzard world are the two more likely options
We've seen Blizzard World every single series today.
I'm thinking it's Blizzard World.
I think you kind of have to.
It almost feels like...
You have TRED.
That should be enough said.
Like you should be going Blizzard World unless you want to go Numbani just because
like the unexpected factor, maybe it's something you've been practicing.
Maybe a lot of teams haven't been.
I could see that being the case.
If they go midtown, they're crazy.
I'm just going to be so real very...
You cannot go midtown against Cumberland.
You cannot go to midtown against Cumberland.
It is not a good idea.
It is like to be their best hybrid map by far and what a few teams who will pick it repeatedly
Bonnie as an I could see it
But it would just be sigma
Yeah, just do it in bad sigma if you're feeling if you're feeling feisty, we thought he would run sigma on realto
That is true, but we're not just one of those heroes
I feel like we can see them there a little bit, but Cumberland has been the only team
that we've seen today that has actually committed to this watchra.
A couple have just tried it for a map or two, but it's been 90% Zarya and Diva finally
have a map pick in Will in fact, Be Blizzard World, but the watchra brand is available
by the way.
If you really wanted to go there and force Kerm into an uncomfortable position, I wouldn't
be shocked.
I wouldn't be shocked.
I kind of feel like you have to.
What else would you ban at this point?
You've already banned at the break, you've banned at the Juno.
Jetpack out was a throwaway ban, that's whatever.
I think it was a protect ban, honestly.
Yeah, and then you banned Demaura because that was an option on Atlas.
I do, like Ram is a very viable bid, unless you want to ban the Emory.
If you don't feel like Noxious is doing enough, and you want to have it be the Soge duel instead of the Emory, you could ban out him.
Because especially those last two maps it has been
Kade getting the better of Noxious most of the time
No, I'm not saying he is I'm just saying that could be if you don't want to ban it through a match if you feel like you can play
Around it enough to do this be such a dive map
Maybe you take away a hit scan like Emre
I think between that matchup of
Noxious and cave if you force sojourned I think to Noxious just looks better on
that hero overall compared to the M-Ray where cave has been the opposite I only
say that because I haven't seen his sojourned too much of his life he's
going to walk on to M-Ray or just freeha randomly freeha please don't play
for you could play for a bit I don't know if this is the time to do it
This is an okay map for it. If we're going to like a watch point, I could see it.
That is another piece they have been playing.
Chef has been playing the Wooyoung. I could easily see that being the case.
We will see what the other band is. We're going to keep you guys kind of held up here just for a
few minutes. Sorry. Whoops. But hey, it's at least an understandable band, even if it's not
the one either of us thought they were going. I guess. They did a very support band.
Hey, this is about to support every map, but one, if I'm not mistaken.
Yeah, pretty much.
That's a lot.
That's a lot of support.
They just got beef, man.
I get supports, I guess.
They do.
In their defense, if you are going to ban a support, I think it matters a lot more against
a team like Cumberland, who will veer away from that Kiriko Lucio if they have the
option to do so.
So maybe that's the thought there.
Lucio is not a bad pick, but you're guaranteed to, you know, break on this map for
Cumberland regardless.
So I don't think it's that much of a...
Like the poke damage would have been nice, but...
It's not essential.
And especially if Tread's going to go D.Va, you want the break.
You plan to do a break anyways.
You want the Juno break because you want to...
Razer, I need some sort of answer from Cumberland.
And you need the break.
You can't always have Cabe turn around or Nody turn around and track.
You've got to have some sort of answer from your support, Lendi.
At least stay up to give the rest of your team an opportunity to answer.
But it's an interesting ban.
Interesting man obviously a tank DPS still on the board do you ban off the farra?
Even though it feels like you've been dealing with the farra pretty well
I don't know if you necessarily need it, but what else are you going to ban? Soach?
True you could ban the Soach force the Emory more I'd say that's the only two I could even see
There's no reason for them to tank them
Because Trud's gonna play evil
Well when we get to this point in the series when you're at map five like what if it is
played that can be bountiful and
And I don't know, you can't ban the diva.
I think that would be ideal situation to do that.
You could take away the Zarya and force the diva.
That is an option.
That's true.
That is very interesting.
Once you get to third phase, the diva
isn't going to be as great.
We've seen a lot of teams today swap over to a rush.
Once we get to that third phase,
so that could be something that works out.
I could see that.
It's, again, if there's so many opportunities here,
but also so little at the same breadth,
it's such a weird area that we are in right now.
It's taking a lot of time is come one. They want to make sure you have to they get this right it defines your season
This is kind of the I think they have one other like third party it like smaller event next weekend
That's it. Well, this is like the big shebang
This is the big land of the year here for Overwatch collegiate and it oh, it looks like a file break
That makes sense
That makes a lot of sense. Oh, it's some of the Northwood guys are here
All right. I see a wild lap in the crowd of the Haven as well. It's a tube. Welcome in guys. There we go
They've been playing tomorrow. They obviously do not in varsity, but they're in that open final
Against Winthrop, so we'll get to see them in just a little bit
And they're they're a very fun team this year to watch if you have not seen them
electric
Northwood has been there it is far away the number one seed there we go
Ben is in it will in fact be the sojourn and I think that is a great way to choice if
Cabe is running the lobby on this Emory and noxious is not consistently been able to keep up
Shut out one of the biggest issues for st. Clair that is remaining on the table
Absolutely take that opportunity. It doesn't mean you have the option for in the tank for the diva and the Zarya
If you really want to or at the time being this is how compilant are going to set themselves up
up. One more map to either complete the reverse sweep or have a heartbreaker and to this turn
around where Saint Clair and more so I think fighting for their own dignity against their own
expectations that were to easily make it to this grand final. There are a lot of this time have been
like hey we want revenge on Winthrop and we want to show how good we have been how much we have
improved and the first two maps we saw that. Second and third and fourth maps we have nots.
It's been just the complete opposite of form, the back half of this series so far.
Cumberland now have a great opportunity to knock off the number 14 in the country, number 2 here in Nace Varsity.
Do they have enough left?
And let's see here.
Final map everybody, 4th today here on the stream.
We'll be right back tomorrow, 10am Eastern though.
Don't go too far.
We are going to be back in here at Grand Finals.
We're going to be casting actually in the land studio where they're playing.
It's going to be electric tomorrow, but we got one more map to set up unless they tie
Then we get a map six. Don't say that it was the world. It's unless we have a clue didn't touch expectation here
I think we're not going to see that
I'm hitting it. I'm not going to be the first time though for coming to do that
No
It was
Our series it was it's up the box somewhere if you all want to like a long watch it is an excellent game
Both these teams have either been they're gonna roll
But I have to be in a really good position by the time we edge your up potential over time. I don't foresee
That
Game of the- Now, again, taking time and whether whichever team's choice this is to do,
to combo in, relay it in, not letting yourself to get too excited.
Keep the wheels on the bus!
It's the next thing to say.
Well, they gotta get the wheels back on the bus.
They gotta find the wheels and they should've packed it on the bus.
I think they might be lost at sea or something.
Yeah, it's just so- This is not the conversation we thought we'd be having on set.
We don't maybe tomorrow like hey they go down O2 where can they find that second
burst right like that was something that we talked about early on but not here not now
in this semi-final and with the baddie city like this is so much better than you
we're at a great spot guys regardless who wins
we're gonna have so much fun to go to before tomorrow
and St. Clair too didn't I don't think they had to come to one on the radar too much to be honest
And yes, they had that loss, but it was when they had a player that was playing through illness at the time.
So the Kana just wrote it off.
Perhaps something you wanted to pay a lot more attention to now is Cumberland.
Their biggest achievement of the season was beating St. Clair back in March.
Now have the opportunity to do it again, but on the semi-finals of the Mace varsity
Here at Full Sail University, we're getting ready to roll out.
Comberland on the defense. They ain't broke. They're not fixing it.
I know. Might as well keep everything the same. Just no going back over to the tracer instead of the Genji.
Now that the tracer is back in play, expect Razor to do the same once this opening TP goes on through.
And it will be the Zarya from Tread to Start.
from Tread to start. Not going to try and match the rematch like they did over on Rielto. Granted,
having a shoot on Rielto a little bit more important than it is here on Blizzard World.
But let's see here. How can we, how will this end up? We'll say clear, avoid the reverse sweep.
Get their attempt at revenge against Winthrop or we'll come and give us the upset of the
tournament so far in the second reverse sweep of the day. Let's go.
and have a hard time on this Emron gave lasering through players having this defensive positioning
is fantastic I'm gonna be able to work with we'll reset on the back line ground at the
point seeing his razor worked his way on through razor and I grew up map 4 and he grew up
map 3 it's unnoticed he does he still have that potential not only to match his tracer
opposition that even take him out at times is this is a long-favored razor
battle. A very slow approach from St. Glares. You can see the tip damage is being
going through and Gave in fact eliminates Reddix from existence entirely. He's been
way too long in front of the M-Race crosshairs. He might just be the one
to kill him down. He did it against Belgear. Yeah, for whatever reason Gave is the longer
These series go he still got it everybody playing for ages it feels like but he still got in these map fives
Already one minute gone St. Clair. They tried to rotate along the side tried to find an opening
But instead it was red X that gets sniped out early and now Trent doesn't really get anything
Trent was kind of just bubbling not really getting a whole lot of game
It's through only a third of the way through to grab in a minute 30 in
That's terrible. If you're going to get St. Clair through this point, it's going to be off the
Graviton Surge as your largest win condition by far.
The Katsune rushes up soon for both teams, gave a slight lead on the override protocol.
We've got to come up. Alex and Zorchul will pull the triggers at almost the same moments.
It'll make a difference on the override protocol.
On this objective, everybody trying to back up, but no!
Kayn finds way too close to Tread. A massive error from him. He'll go down.
Who needs a Graviton Surge if Kayn flies too close to the Sun?
Yeah, with Strennacus everybody taking advantage of that Katsune rush, but didn't realize that the Zarya was still underneath.
Nobody's able to find one, but it won't be enough to make anything really happen here.
Point A, captured by St. Clair. Add a little bit of time back on, just over four minutes.
going into streets and still both DPS ultimates that over a protocol a lot of
high ground to work with here from Noxious you also got pulsed with the
ground B to answer anything there is a whole lot of options to take
I've never started off with not just a flourating cave and it's been a rough match up for him.
His soldier and band away.
I wanted to develop a personal, you know, first-time Clarence.
I'm not shocked, honestly, just seeing that we're seeing them get as strong of a start as we were.
It was the same way in real life though.
They started that map, it's excellent for.
It was the back half of the map, so let's see how they continue on.
Throughout the rest of this, still Rally and Annihilation here for Cumberland, Sinclair just used the overrides protocol, still got the pulse grout combo, and the sound barrier to match anything that Cumberland wants to use.
And a great position here from Nach, nice little angle onto virtual and staying out of LRS from cave. This part slowly making its way through.
I think the rally from Shemhouse kinda holding with T-
AJAX got a third one!
AJAX out of red!
It's St. Clair!
That one hurts!
You can see you dread holding out of that S-Key for dear life!
I couldn't really see it, but if Rapiton sorts out,
Jepton expects it at all,
wants to make up for the shock!
That was the AJAX.
Trembling down a support for many of the Annihilation suit
and any thought.
Yeah, they just need to pop it, to stay alive
It's not like I want to raise anywhere here, you know the pulse did not be used there with the crab and now he said
Razor still struggling to find himself here in these ladder maps cable take him out again
Cumberland happy to just kind of live on this high ground
He's going after virtual basically to the spawn of cobblin
Surely he did punish for that but with both
St. Clair out of weird standstill. They are going to decide to keep pushing the cart. They just don't have a real way to deal with Karmic at this point in time.
We'll have to pop the annihilation in response to Razor's pulse bomb. It's a good exchange. Saints are willing to retreat for that.
Yeah, I think that's worth it. But if you're Kerm, you have to live. Like if you die, St. Clair is another wave of people that are about to get there.
As much as you want to play aggressively with it, that's how it's best to use it defensively.
Over to Ray 20 away from VirtuaRenek, trying to get something out of the Sound Barrier this time around.
You know, nobody will be looking for another 8 jacks opportunity.
First one we've had all day, and hopefully will remain as the last.
Yeah, the Sinclair, 4 meters left to go on this payload, 90 seconds to do it.
You'll get the ultimate that you want, just not immediately.
There's the sound barrier this time from Reddix, lands on to the main core of the team,
is to sustain through the orbital range that Shep wasn't playing in.
Razor and Reddix can find efforts easy enough to take him down, and there is the Razor
that we saw way back in back 1 and 2.
Coming up with a triple kill to get St. Clair to this third point.
To me, at both times, orbital has been used from when actually you lose the fight.
Uh, not a great ratio right now for one of the best ults in the game,
But hey, St. Clair answering it in a great fashion, just over two minutes.
That pulse and grab combo almost ready for St. Clair and the rush from Alex, ready to go.
With no casuny rush, there's no Qirico from Cumberland.
You know the answer to the casuny rush, but you do not have the answer.
2A Graviton served. It is a death sentence.
Both Nody, Kerm, and Shepp this time around.
Five K technically for red this payload keeps going
Everybody spawns together for carmel and to give this another go but holding on to the pulse once again
Is razor and the Russian will cut slack it a little bit not expecting no D quite yet
On the plank and that'll force in Claire to play a little bit passive
Yeah, and Nody still showing that he can prove himself in these 1v1s in the right circumstances
and that was definitely one of them for their work.
80 seconds, now probably two good fights until we are in overtime.
The flank already called out, but it'll be the over-empty.
Okay, just to shot the Razor away.
I think he kind of has to rally out from check as well.
When all the monthly supports are struggling to live under the pressure of Razor,
eventually he'll grab virtual, uh, those two more members of this roster,
all ready to go on to no hope, continuing that payload progress.
This is the Cosserland rally that we saw similar shades of on Rialto.
This is Deja vu. We're traveling back in time just a little bit,
a little bit of a different setting, but St. Clair, again just stuttering near the end
Of the escort, still got plenty of ults though to work around, nobody looking for an early pulse.
No plans, do you?
Yeah, this is prime time for Pulse Bomb territory, but not quite committing, it's not the blinks to do so.
If that can get out, Reddix has another sound barrier to come in.
A lot of tools for St. Clair here because that pulse bomb is going to go wide, obnoxious as time it's a shine.
Flaring down this fire on the cave is definitely going to be a great excuse to help Sir St. Clair forward and clean up any remaining members.
Obcom, we let the deer stand in their way for this final touch because over a lot of times, bonds as long as they are, they're not going to get a good one.
I don't know about one of these feats there, but I won't lie to you. You want it near the end. Annihilation, orbital ray.
here, but this has to be a fat grab.
From Trent, he's built another one up.
Razor's still holding onto it,
maybe waiting for this combo once more,
but it lands on a cave.
That lands on the cave.
You don't have Nody either,
but as these two ultimates,
the combo and can use as a one-ball combo,
you've no choice but to stay on the cart.
It's like hugging the pale for his life,
but it can't come off from the annihilation.
Orbital Ray in combo is enough.
The game's St. Clair,
wait, from a full capture,
Nody and Caber back in the flight
Venture and refuel respectively. Dredd tried to come back on the wrecking ball, but he's
got no team to come back to. Yaggy lost her DPS early, but St. Clair infested too early
in what they thought would be the final battle.
Just didn't have enough ult left.
No.
The best ultimates for Cumberland. We're still coming on that first respawn. And
yes, you get rid of the Bastard which is great that that would have been its
own issue. Don't get me wrong. But no, just not enough left in the tank. Cumberland's
When condition clear you finish the map you get to finish the reverse sweep and you buck a ticket into that grand final
But it's the long ways to go this can be this first phase this first point to be very difficult to push through and a cap
So let's see how they are able to manage it st. Clair now on the defense
They need they cannot have a similar start to their defense like they did on real today
They need to have a stronger start and that is why they will go back to the old reliable here with this area comp
I think you have to.
You have to, there's no other answer.
It's so much better into the Remontra, than the Viva.
You have to stand at the front line,
have some presence there,
and also sit up notches a little bit better
with the bubbles.
He's looked great.
We kind of questioned how his Emory has been performing.
It's been very on and off,
but it definitely hit the on switch
for the span of that attack,
and you're gonna need that energy.
Going into the defense now is,
looks like Cumberland also wanna run it back.
Yeah, why not? At this point, just run it back on what's been working, there is no reason to change
what has brought you to this map fly, but brought you out of the O2 hole
that you sat in during the middle of this series.
Let's see if they can pull off the magic one more time.
Check damage in from Noxious. We'll hear NoD rotate up to the left side, high ground.
We'll eventually be met with Razor, I believe, who's in a similar vicinity.
She got to sniff out all of your angles before it can fully commit.
Eventually they'll find each other on the side of the rager.
What's nothing to do with that is do it hard to make recall forests.
I guess a little sketchy on that side angle of the rest of Convulin.
He made their way onto the objective.
Tread is very much tied to his bubble cooldowns as much as Kerm is.
Within that missus form, it will come on out.
Morse is zoning to him, but they're not gonna give up any pits.
Kerm overextends underestimates the amount of damage
The St. Clair can outpour especially with Mox's being on the high ground while he is sent from moved
and to take some serious rounds with Lody to push this through without a tank
and carry little confidence and combo and to stick around with the Crazer getting as much support as he is.
He took a lot of this. You kind of want to keep that percentage they got built up.
It wasn't a permanent tick, but we'll be able to get it done.
Now, respawn's coming in from both sides.
Tread just trying to hold the line waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
But here is the both in a spec.
Good cleanse though, from Alex.
Three stick, look flashing.
My punch, such a powerful ability.
So I'm gonna spit suit A-Rodge.
Just keep it dead and shut down.
Mid-override protocol.
That would have been huge.
Basically, make this bit suit A-Rodge useless.
For St. Clair, that won't be the case.
Precisely, virtual.
Do you want to fight this out?
Despite being down, Chef, and Cain,
forces Trent Pan on the Graviton Surge
So it exchanged nonetheless, but the shield was still a firm!
And it worked!
What's magic, Jack?
Pulled that out, makes it happen, virtual solid at the matrix,
something that we absolutely did not.
And the Phoenix will get this first point,
or at least part of it, to say clear.
Razor will touch.
Or considering recon testing.
Everyone fits fully well.
There we go.
Razor eventually goes on in, but he's
going to have to recall shortly after.
Beck on the diva is dreaded for a faster force
You know the Stalbert occurred with me in first knowing the danger that that could be if it got off
With dread out of mix now all the x4's objective all of force was the annihilation at the end of the day
Four minutes now for combo little point two rex dives early doesn't have a sound barrier to save the team when the annihilation
When the overhead protocol are starting to get propped and come on we'll start game some position here on the higher ground
ground over three and a half minutes. Sombare's still there. Razor, again, I don't know why.
He's never afraid to throw pulses in, but for whatever reason, backside of this series,
be a little bit more selective where those are going. This is a rush over the point.
Yeah, we've seen how important or how willing teams are to invest in getting a close hold on
Blizzard World. He's going to shave time off the clock. This is the spot to do it.
Power Bear, out of rent, just because the rally ended up getting pop.
Doesn't mean the pulse block, no he goes wide.
You could get that as a fear, much longer.
They just keep it this way with the back block.
There we go, that's the stick they wanted.
Checked barely able to turn the shield to stop him from going down as well.
St. Clair, not exactly in that forward position yet,
but they keep getting these players picked off as they are, both sports falling.
They'll have that forward spa to give Cumberland one heck of a time.
Do they decide to pull up close and it should be a yes and there you go
Hi everybody getting up on that top high ground behind point a
Forcing cumberland to have some sort of a sorry great at post bomb 52 from no D20 to override
from a cake
But the Russians here from Alex as soon as a commitment is used by cumberland. There will be a swift response
You've so many answers to your fate, Thor.
Tread is a very defensive Graviton soldier.
Loves a little bit of a counter punch.
And it works out.
Especially in situations like this or my way, we just don't have another tool to stop it from going off.
We're expecting to see that again here.
And we have it in!
It goes down!
The Virtual already pressed his shiny button.
So, Carmblin decided he had to commit to some degree, didn't manage to flip the map around,
Tread debated if he needed to grab, decided, you know, it's not necessary, his team is so split,
he still has to player advantage to go on, but that's just gone, you know what, I need to get something done.
Those supports are complete, Carmblin sets back after Tread's great discipline on all issues.
Just waiting for the moment to find some squishies in the backline, and save the fight.
90 seconds remain now for Cumberland if they want to keep the magic rolling.
Some barrier override here for Sinclair, they haven't answered anything and honestly I first punch
from Noxious, but Override is still here from Cabe to not use it during the last fight just
due to him dying early by the time he got back to fight already for this.
This is the exception of Nody, and he's gonna buy a ton of time on that.
Unfortunately for Cumberland, they are gonna lose out on Virtual,
pretending to hide in the same room that Razor did, not the best spot for a Judo to be.
Now under a minute to complete this point.
Cumberland is so split right now.
Nody's fighting for his life almost by the back side of point A.
Virtual doesn't spawn though to help out just a little bit of the rest of Cumberland.
still over by the point right now. It's just such a messy engagement.
Just continuing to move without a rally pop.
Rally out now from Chef.
Two in for a shield dash.
You'll find land on any targets you want to get away from these sort of all.
Just cave.
Under heavy fire is the being the one with the override.
What do you call it?
Can't call me out of ranks.
Normal I wouldn't like it, but this one is gonna be there.
Or I should have banned Curve Cups up with two.
No need! It makes dread blow into a patchelian pieces!
And suddenly, what Cumberland should have been down with...
What?!
But there's one song! May have pulled it off!
They're going to keep themselves in the game with the miracle from Carmen Noomi!
What a Hail Mary of a pulse with the Annihilation Insel!
Cumberland stay alive with a skin on their teeth!
But still, the job is not done. 60 seconds to go.
They used everything though, during that last fight, they have nothing going into the final stretch, which is what do St. Clair on their attack.
St. Clair, they have so many resources to pull out, and Conberlain, you have to host it.
You can get them out in this battle, because otherwise you do not get another reset, and they grab this throne.
I think if you're Converlain, you're pretty chill about that, but you can not afford to...
You find a trade?
Yeah, you find a trade, but a support for his EPS is really scary.
especially if you are firm saying in this fight any longer is definitely a
risk the think layer you're okay with it they can't find any other trade
defections almost ended up going down the cassoon and rush it's unmatched no
more tools 30 seconds that's the reset coverlin have to respect it they know
they have one more good fight before this overtime really starts to take
down Paul's from nobody almost alive a lot of these adults Molly starting to
build back up. O'Rannix will have a stall barrier for whatever the first deadly ultimate
use is. We also got to wait until Boltzric's playing a very dangerous game.
It is permanent, and nothing is dishing it out.
That's a triple kill now for him,
Kerm, last mad stand and was crumbling.
Blah, hope, but St. Clair will snap the brooms in half,
deny the refer sweet, and get themselves
to the Nace Varsity Grand Finals.
Look at the pop-off on the St. Clair stand.
Oh my goodness.
What a game that was.
Me and one of the best teams of the weekend.
But St. Clair survived the scare.
They will give their events now,
but at least the opportunity against Winthrop tomorrow
in that varsity grand final will want a show
to close out day one.
You know, the Saints, a lot more sweat going into that game
than I think they initially expected,
but hyped at the end as we got to see
their final reactions for the result
and from the start, map one,
Yeah, it was pretty much for St. Clair favorite map to an absolute stomping.
We thought we would be done there, but Cumberland, it was one heck of a series to watch.
Cumberland need to be proud of how they played today.
And I really hope they are. I may not feel great right now,
but what an unbelievable performance from them today.
It's just not enough. They have another 5 or 10 seconds.
Those both support us, are off, and we could be talking a completely different end story right now.
But look at this! It was 140 to 0!
It was 140 to 0 on map 2.
We thought this series was done at 3.
If we go all the way, but St. Clair, what adversity to go against during lane,
that is what you're going to need.
If you want to take out the top, if you want to beat Winthrop tomorrow,
you need this kind of tenacity, this adversity to go through, to have the chance,
and now they will, and that'll be our second-grain final tomorrow.
But oh my goodness.
And what a way to punch your ticket.
It's about back.
And for St. Clair, they had moments
that they looked completely lost in this series.
And it kind of started with Atlas.
And, you know, having these polarizing performances,
yeah, it's a bit concerning heading
into the finals tomorrow.
But the fact that they managed to rally at this last section,
despite a devastating loss here on Rielto is fantastic.
It shows that they have the intensity to get through this,
that they have the perseverance to keep on going,
even with some players struggling
and to keep it going.
And Tracer outside of the Tracer just did not look good.
And when Steven has he got back on it,
it took him a bit to find that rhythm again.
But even at that last map, you've got to hand it
to Noxious.
Struggle on the M. Rage as Cade,
every single map of this series.
But he handed it to him for our last map
Blizzard world and it was just enough to keep Saint Clair on their track to the Grand Finals
It is not often we have a series that feels so back and forth like this for every single person
That played had a moment that I can point you like that was a pop-off
That was an insane moment that saved their team or one of them a fight one of my major point in this game
Every single person on each team had that during this series. It was
Unbelievable how good this series was if I I don't think I could pick an MVP if I
I'm not probably if I had to pick one to probably tread I would have said razor
after the first two maps but he got real quiet the back half of this series he
looks great in this map 5 but I feel like I would have to go with tread but
man it's it's so hard it's such a hard thing because we didn't even get we
We almost didn't get to this last third phase, like, I would love, I don't think we got the
observatory of whatever in the world happened during that mini-room.
No, because we expected it to be done.
We thought it was done!
I think St. Clair expected it to be done, and then everything just exploded in their
faces.
But here we are, St. Clair, balloned their way, do the grand finals, after all, they
get another shot at Winthrop University, one of the only teams to take maps off
of them and look consistent doing it. And while Comberland, yes, a much weaker
component in comparison, getting this map five under your belt for a mentality
stake, I think is a great quote-unquote warm-up for the best of seven series that
is to come tomorrow because there is no way, if St. Clair for some reason end
up winning that, they're not sweeping it. No, and you're thinking that is also
after the open final. Open final we start with and then we go into the
of our city finals. St. Clair will have time to watch what Winthrop are doing the day of.
They will have time to make some small changes. It is a great asset to have if you are St.
Clair and almost a little bit of a side effect of success for Winthrop. Having these
back-to-back finals, St. Clair can watch and see how that is going to go. But what
an unbelievable game. The close out day one here of the Overwatch Collegiate Championships
in Orlando is wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow I gotta say thank you
raiden gg circuit our entire crew everybody behind the stage
here in Orlando remotely here with radiant helping making this happen
what a day of overwatch guys help you all enjoy man that was
unbelievable nine hours of overwatch game and yeah
done in half your house i'll say that uh but yeah nine and a half hours
as a long time for these teams to play overwatch. They're going to have a long break now as we will
resume for both of our grand finals tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. Eastern for both of those matches.
We'll start with Winthrop versus Northwood University and end with them again, but this time
against St. Clair College. Thank you so much for tuning in to support our collegiate teams
on land. It has been an incredible showcase for day number one of the Nace Varsity finals,
and we will crown our champions for both of our brackets tomorrow. We'll see you then.
