I don't think it had a lot of surprises in it per se. 12:30.360 --> 12:32.680 Like a lot of it just kind of played out as we expected. 12:32.680 --> 12:35.080 But I do feel like we learned a lot about the teams. 12:35.080 --> 12:39.880 We really did. I think that it was such a grueling first day to have those first two. 12:39.880 --> 12:42.920 We learned a lot, but also some teams kept things a little bit 12:42.920 --> 12:47.080 hidden if we got our eyes on the crazy raccoons and Zeta in that kind of regard. 12:47.080 --> 12:52.200 some of the Mizuki coming out there too. And we saw some of the weaknesses and strengths of these 12:52.200 --> 12:58.760 squads, right? Some custom paid actors playing this. I thought VP was really interesting yesterday. 12:58.760 --> 13:02.840 We were talking a little bit in the back about how their game against Weibo, obviously the closest 13:02.840 --> 13:07.720 game of the day, but I thought they actually looked really good. And EMEA in Asia, right? 13:07.720 --> 13:15.640 The two regions now that are really ascended amongst our global regions. And NA in China, 13:15.640 --> 13:18.380 These international now just battle to see who doesn't go home first 13:18.880 --> 13:21.580 Because EMEA and you know Korea just so strong 13:21.580 --> 13:22.060 Yeah 13:22.060 --> 13:26.820 I mean a space station gave me one of the teams that it was kind of sad to see how they went out of the tournament 13:26.820 --> 13:32.540 But you already said it ash it was the games were such high stakes first to two in that first round in the upper bracket 13:32.540 --> 13:37.820 Then also in the lower bracket. So two of our teams only really got to play two matches 13:37.820 --> 13:41.220 And then they were out of the tournament. I hope they have a great time here in Japan though 13:41.220 --> 13:44.540 I hope they stay in some extra days and you know just enjoy the 13:44.540 --> 13:49.340 the surroundings and take it all in. We certainly have to do that. Matt, what's your favorite 13:49.340 --> 13:50.340 thing so far? 13:50.340 --> 13:54.740 Oh, I mean, me and Danny had hit at the crane place a few times now. I followed him around. 13:54.740 --> 13:58.460 No, no, no. We were like, hey, we got to keep these suga cards to get to the venue in the 13:58.460 --> 14:02.580 morning. So I've had a great time. The food has been unbelievable. Like just everywhere 14:02.580 --> 14:04.140 you go, it's just top notch. 14:04.140 --> 14:09.020 Yeah, top notch Overwatch, top notch food, top notch people, top notch best talent. We 14:09.020 --> 14:14.140 got it all here in Tokyo, Japan. Let's talk about our lower bracket because for these 14:14.140 --> 14:20.140 teams. It's on. The pressure is on in order to stay alive and make that lower bracket run. 14:20.140 --> 14:24.140 We did see both of our RNA and both of our Chinese teams falling to the lower bracket. 14:24.140 --> 14:29.260 The second seat of the respective regions is already out of the running. So now we got Dallas and 14:29.260 --> 14:34.300 Weibo remaining. Yeah, Weibo, they're able to repeat history from last year, knocking SSG out 14:34.300 --> 14:38.940 once again. I think that this is a claw that we're looking at to be, you know, a bit more of a dark 14:38.940 --> 14:43.900 course in this competition. Dallas Fuel, we didn't really get to see them playing to their strengths 14:43.900 --> 14:49.980 as much. They did try that in their matchup the day beforehand up against crazy raccoons, 14:49.980 --> 14:55.900 but overall it was tough, right? Like you saw Chorong really taking the style that they wanted 14:55.900 --> 15:01.500 to emulate to them as well, but we're looking at a bit more of hopefully a comfortable start here 15:01.500 --> 15:05.500 for Dallas in the lower bracket. Yeah, I think Dallas is a team that could potentially go pretty 15:05.500 --> 15:11.900 far. I think SSG, look a really rough meta for them, a rough draw. Webo just kind of doing the Webo 15:11.900 --> 15:16.780 gaming special here, you know, they lose when around one, they, you know, they somehow find 15:16.780 --> 15:21.580 themselves at the end. They looked really good in that second match. The thing that I was like 15:21.580 --> 15:25.900 pleasantly surprised, we actually saw them make adjustments from their loss to VP to that game. 15:25.900 --> 15:29.740 And I think that's the big thing for Wayvo Gaming is how impressive it was for them to do that with 15:29.740 --> 15:35.180 such a short turnaround time in a day, in the first day of this Champions Clash, but not just that. 15:35.180 --> 15:40.220 Again, in those first to two series for every match for day one, you don't have that opportunity 15:40.220 --> 15:43.820 take those adjustments map for map as much because the series aren't going to be as 15:43.820 --> 15:47.500 yeah also some teams just really had a tough draw in their first match and they 15:47.500 --> 15:50.900 kind of went in with the expectation that they may or may not be fighting their 15:50.900 --> 15:54.860 way through the lower bracket after that first one let's talk about how the map 15:54.860 --> 15:58.780 pool affected us we did see Antarctic Peninsula back in the mix and I was 15:58.780 --> 16:03.860 looking yesterday penguins were spotted we love you you had some nasty words that 16:03.860 --> 16:09.060 penguin that penguin looked filthy if someone watched the broadcast and so 16:09.060 --> 16:11.300 There's something going on with one of those penguins. 16:11.300 --> 16:13.300 There's probably a lore reason why he's dirty. 16:13.300 --> 16:15.300 There's got to be some lore. 16:15.300 --> 16:18.300 Maybe the other penguins are really bullying him. 16:18.300 --> 16:20.300 We don't have to make him feel bad. 16:20.300 --> 16:25.300 The facility put him malfunctioned and then he became dirty from it. 16:25.300 --> 16:28.300 Okay, I'm just a horrible human being, I guess. 16:28.300 --> 16:29.300 You know who's been bullied? 16:29.300 --> 16:30.300 Symmetra. 16:30.300 --> 16:35.060 He's been banned out the most yesterday, which honestly was a bit of a surprise, especially 16:35.060 --> 16:38.300 because one of that Symmetra bans came from Twisted Minds themselves. 16:38.300 --> 16:46.300 I was kind of confused from that because it didn't really seem to impact the approach that they were going to have in that series, right? 16:46.300 --> 16:51.300 They may be a little bit of a throwaway band there from Tristan Mines in that series up against all gamers, 16:51.300 --> 16:56.300 but overall I think that the bands are going to look different heading into today. 16:56.300 --> 17:02.300 Yeah, and some of these bands could be used to protect some of those cat fashion, different type of looks, right? 17:02.300 --> 17:09.580 I think today with the longer series it's going to be much different in terms of what we see in that band and even map selection process 17:09.580 --> 17:17.140 Yeah, definitely first two three will change a lot heading into today where yesterday some teams might just have been able to squeeze in based on 17:17.140 --> 17:20.540 Hero band bands and map selection. So today 17:20.940 --> 17:25.620 You know they have to show what they got they should have to open more pages in their playbook or rather than 17:25.940 --> 17:27.940 Flip more pages 17:28.140 --> 17:31.900 So much more sense in my head before it came out of my mouth. That's crazy 17:32.300 --> 17:37.760 That's crazy now. I do of course also want to remind everyone watching a PSA drops 17:38.080 --> 17:45.260 Because they two drops are different from day one at drops now. We got a footsie son at day time 17:45.260 --> 17:50.560 Is that date? I guess that's daytime or is like sunset have you actually connected your thing because you've read this 17:50.560 --> 17:54.360 about that and you're like, oh, I'm gonna do it, I got you by the eye. 17:54.360 --> 17:55.360 Look, look, look. 17:55.360 --> 17:56.360 You actually are. 17:56.360 --> 17:57.360 She's locked in. 17:57.360 --> 17:58.360 I'm locked in and I'm locked in. 17:58.360 --> 17:59.360 We're forming in real time. 17:59.360 --> 18:00.360 That's right. 18:00.360 --> 18:02.360 She doesn't lie on broadcasts, Matt, like some people, okay? 18:02.360 --> 18:05.160 Well, she did up until like two days ago, but... 18:05.160 --> 18:06.160 True. 18:06.160 --> 18:07.160 That's actually correct. 18:07.160 --> 18:10.400 No, but yeah, definitely make sure to connect your botnet account to your Twitch account 18:10.400 --> 18:11.400 and start collecting. 18:11.400 --> 18:15.720 Now, each day we have different drops and of course we also have a rerun, so in case 18:15.720 --> 18:19.800 the time zone's messing with your ability to catch all the action, don't worry, we 18:19.800 --> 18:24.400 that she covered all day and all night and now speaking of coverage let's take a 18:24.400 --> 18:28.680 look at today's schedule to see which games we have in store for you we're 18:28.680 --> 18:32.840 kicking things off in the upper bracket with some absolute bangers twisted 18:32.840 --> 18:38.160 minds going up against crazy racoon and afterwards can be set up division going 18:38.160 --> 18:41.880 up against VP and of course we have Dallas and Wabel gaming in the lower 18:41.880 --> 18:46.880 bracket what a way to open up like twisted minds versus crazy racoon you 18:46.880 --> 18:51.920 know the crowd is going to be absolutely crazy and I feel like that's such a great way to 18:51.920 --> 18:56.560 start off the second day of Champion Flash as well, filling this room with energy. 18:56.560 --> 18:59.800 It's like a grand final Cal of the game, right? I mean, these are the games we usually see 18:59.800 --> 19:03.760 much later in the tournament, but with the way the kind of brackets swung and with seedings 19:03.760 --> 19:07.680 with these teams, that's a game we're going to get here really early. And Twisted Minds 19:07.680 --> 19:11.240 look, the meta may not be exactly kind of going their way. 19:11.240 --> 19:15.920 But history does, though. Like historically, the last few opportunities they played each 19:15.920 --> 19:23.920 Twisted Minds had the upper hand. They won against them in the World Finals, World Championship last year, then once again in the second. 19:23.920 --> 19:24.920 They just won all the... 19:24.920 --> 19:25.920 DWC last year's... 19:25.920 --> 19:31.920 Yeah, exactly. And then in the bootcamp, for one, if you want to count the bootcamp, there's like a serious competition. You can, you cannot, that's okay. 19:31.920 --> 19:40.920 But you know, just historically, they did have the upper hand, yes, in a different meta, but like they showed us yesterday already, Ash, that they can pivot away from the cat's fashion. 19:40.920 --> 19:57.920 They can pivot away from the Kat bashing, but it was up with a different caliber of an opponent when it came down to all gamers now facing up against the pioneers of Kat bashing a little bit of a different story that we already talked about how these hero bands are going to make a really big difference in this matchup as well as the map selection. 19:57.920 --> 20:00.920 What direction are you kind of exciting here? 20:00.920 --> 20:06.680 I think they're gonna be a little bit more aggressive in terms of their bands towards some of that like half-bastian type of stuff right there 20:06.680 --> 20:11.680 The higher seeded team so they'll get the number one kind of like max selection for control and be able to kind of control bands there 20:11.680 --> 20:16.640 I also think this is a series where like last year you may have been even a little bit more worried about 20:17.040 --> 20:20.760 Twisted minds in this one, but you have J. Woo who can like play tracer 20:20.760 --> 20:22.760 You can like it kind of takes them to another level 20:22.760 --> 20:28.000 Which this is the type of game you kind of get him for to be able to play like a tracer in something that doesn't exactly 20:28.000 --> 20:33.760 Maybe kind of favorite tracer at the moment, but he can just dominate exactly now their opponents of course crazy raccoon 20:33.760 --> 20:40.000 They are the originators of the composition that we see quite a lot of right now the cats the bastion 20:40.320 --> 20:47.200 They've played really well yesterday not many cracks in their armor were showing in fact there were kind of I don't want to call it 20:47.200 --> 20:52.080 Trolling, but they were certainly had some fun with it. I mean, yeah, Mizuki spotted for them as well as said 20:52.080 --> 20:54.640 I still don't know if that's is that a bait other baiting us 20:54.640 --> 20:58.640 I feel like it's a little bit 20:58.640 --> 20:59.640 of the bay. I think that it 20:59.640 --> 21:00.640 would be funny if we saw it 21:00.640 --> 21:01.640 again. I don't think it would 21:01.640 --> 21:02.640 come out in this particular 21:02.640 --> 21:04.640 match. That's for sure. And I 21:04.640 --> 21:05.640 think that the conversation of 21:05.640 --> 21:06.640 twisted minds already having 21:06.640 --> 21:08.640 been able to kind of be 21:08.640 --> 21:10.640 comfortable playing what they 21:10.640 --> 21:11.640 were playing previously. I 21:11.640 --> 21:12.640 feel like crazy rock. This is 21:12.640 --> 21:14.640 a team where we've also seen 21:14.640 --> 21:15.640 them be able to flex into 21:15.640 --> 21:17.640 different concepts. Aren't the 21:17.640 --> 21:18.640 cat bastion. You also have 21:18.640 --> 21:20.640 players like soccer who's been 21:20.640 --> 21:22.640 so consistent throughout this 21:22.640 --> 21:23.640 season so far. And I think that 21:23.640 --> 21:27.360 that the firepower on this squad is definitely going to be bringing it to TM. 21:27.360 --> 21:30.320 Yeah, but there's something with like how Zoe was talking about, right? 21:30.320 --> 21:33.040 That TM has won three straight games against CR. 21:33.040 --> 21:35.040 It's like starts to get in your head a little bit. 21:35.040 --> 21:36.320 It's really international. 21:36.320 --> 21:39.800 It's like, TM, they probably, even though they know the meta is not great for them right now, 21:39.800 --> 21:42.560 they're going up against a team that kind of like originated it, 21:42.560 --> 21:44.040 that I know really kind of formed it. 21:44.040 --> 21:46.400 They still have to probably feel pretty confident because they're like, 21:46.400 --> 21:50.480 hey, we've had this team's number over a numerous amount of series in maps at this point. 21:50.480 --> 21:53.040 Like a lot of those series were like first to force, right? 21:53.040 --> 21:58.420 So like they're beating them in extended series too and they beat them even when they had to pivot away from the 21:58.420 --> 22:01.380 Symmetra meta at the time right so they were able to actually 22:01.860 --> 22:09.340 You know play different things into crazy raccoon and still have the upper hand so it wasn't gimmicky. It was like straight-up honest 22:09.900 --> 22:15.480 Honorable overwatch that they were playing against him. So if we're looking at predictions for this one, I gotta be real like I 22:16.580 --> 22:18.340 personally 22:18.340 --> 22:20.340 I'm gonna go TM 22:20.340 --> 22:25.860 Because I think yesterday I showed us that, yes, when they played the Cat Bastion, like 22:25.860 --> 22:30.060 it didn't look great as soon as they switched away from it and played into their strength, 22:30.060 --> 22:31.060 it looked phenomenal. 22:31.060 --> 22:35.300 And it is really hard to ban them out with hero bans because the individuals in the 22:35.300 --> 22:38.780 background in the front line, they can just kind of play it all still, right? 22:38.780 --> 22:43.300 Like quartz, like whether it was on a Freya, on a Cassidy, on a soldier, like it doesn't 22:43.300 --> 22:44.300 really matter. 22:44.300 --> 22:45.460 Like they can still pop off like that. 22:45.460 --> 22:48.020 Like I have a lot of faith in them to do really well. 22:48.020 --> 22:54.020 Also, I really like your jerseys, you know, you know, the buyer new jerseys can pop enough. 22:54.020 --> 22:56.900 I'm available to get one, just say. 22:58.020 --> 23:00.900 I'm a potential wearer of the jersey. 23:02.820 --> 23:06.260 No, but like jokes aside, like I'm really feeling pretty good about their chances, 23:06.260 --> 23:07.380 despite the meta. How about you? 23:07.380 --> 23:11.380 And I think you should, but I'm not going to agree with you this time around. 23:11.380 --> 23:16.820 So yeah, I'm so sorry. I am going to be going with crazy raccoons for my prediction for this one. 23:16.820 --> 23:20.500 I think that you talking about the flexibility of the back line is a great point 23:20.500 --> 23:25.460 But I've also got my eyes on the fact that we've seen a lot of flexibility in the different gameplay styles from crazy 23:25.500 --> 23:28.620 Raccoon this back line we saw them in yesterday's matchup 23:28.620 --> 23:36.580 They were happy to take that aggression to DF especially on that a lorry pick there for Toron versus a team who have a bit 23:36.580 --> 23:37.700 More of a passive back line 23:37.700 --> 23:42.900 They like to play that supportive role a lot more and I think that that's something that crazy raccoons could take advantage of 23:42.900 --> 23:46.740 Those are all extremely valid points in a rare occurrence. I'm going to agree with 23:50.900 --> 23:54.940 Is this curse no, I just believe they're going to figure out a way 23:54.940 --> 24:01.220 I think like when you are a team that have had the success that they've had recently like you can kind of take that confidence and 24:01.220 --> 24:04.880 Do crazy stuff with it and I think that like the gap between these two teams 24:04.880 --> 24:10.320 It's like not that large that like they're just going to kind of like you know roll over and see ours going to like dominate 24:10.320 --> 24:15.980 But I think that with the longer series being able to kind of can you know decide this first game on control 24:15.980 --> 24:17.980 I think team's gonna pull it out. Yeah 24:17.980 --> 24:18.420 No 24:18.420 --> 24:24.420 And now let us know in chat who you think is gonna have the upper hand regardless of who is winning in this one 24:24.420 --> 24:28.380 The loser will just drop into the lower bracket and get another run for the 24:28.820 --> 24:31.860 Type the loser has to play for their tournament lives a little bit later. That's right 24:33.900 --> 24:35.900 Yeah, the losers just almost going home 24:35.900 --> 24:38.540 Our line is way cooler if you're coming from the lower bracket. 24:38.540 --> 24:41.100 Crazy Raccoon has done it before, they can do it again. 24:41.100 --> 24:45.020 Look at me, just already predicting TM once again in that very second stop. 24:45.020 --> 24:48.420 Before we get into the action, we are heading into a very quick break. 24:48.420 --> 24:53.100 And when we come back, we have some very important World Cup news for you. 24:53.100 --> 24:55.700 So you don't want to miss it, don't go anywhere, we should be right back. 27:35.900 --> 27:53.020 Hello everyone on stream, in the venue and around the world, today we're going to do 27:53.020 --> 27:59.980 a little bit of some new reveals for the Overwatch World Cup 2026 and for that we have a special 27:59.980 --> 28:05.980 Best from Blizzard, the Director of Esports for Overwatch, Fernando. How are you doing today, Fernando? 28:05.980 --> 28:08.980 Doing good, thank you Gavin. I'm very happy to be here with our Japanese fans. 28:08.980 --> 28:10.980 Awesome, well, take it away! 28:10.980 --> 28:19.980 So, you know, the Overwatch World Cup is extremely exciting this year. We've had teams qualify through conference cups, and also all three past championship winners are in the tournament. 28:29.980 --> 28:41.220 We also have some incredible new teams competing in the tournament like Pakistan who are looking 28:41.220 --> 28:44.860 to make Overwatch eSports history by making it all the way to the group stage. 28:44.860 --> 29:10.860 So what's next, Fernando? 29:10.860 --> 29:13.860 Our main tournament is officially kicking off with the online qualifiers. 29:13.860 --> 29:15.860 fires so let's have a look. 29:43.860 --> 30:11.060 The 30:11.060 --> 30:18.420 online qualifiers are here.

Twisted Minds taking on Crazy Raccoon and what is shaping up to be 37:25.380 --> 37:29.900 potentially, well we hope I guess, one of the most competitive cross regional matches 37:29.900 --> 37:33.140 we've yet to see here in the Champions Clash. 37:33.140 --> 37:37.420 This tournament is scaling up quickly Jake. Day 2 already and we're about to witness 37:37.420 --> 37:41.380 fully the best match we've seen so far this tournament. Two teams that are hopeful to make 37:41.380 --> 37:46.060 the top three here at the champions clash. Twisted Minds, I'm praying Jake, I'm praying 37:46.060 --> 37:51.980 that this is a good one because as much as Crazy Raccoon, Team Falcons was peaked 2024-2025, 37:51.980 --> 37:57.860 this could potentially be a two team tournament after this very matchup. Twisted Minds, yet 37:57.860 --> 38:01.660 to see how they fare against these Korean teams in a new meta. 38:01.660 --> 38:05.940 Everything shaping up for Crazy Raccoon and Zeta, you know, really hometown turf for these 38:05.940 --> 38:10.740 two organizations, two Japanese organizations, to just run away with the tournament. Twisted 38:10.740 --> 38:15.020 They're still the current world champion, but it doesn't feel that way, considering 38:15.020 --> 38:20.340 that this is a meta built and developed by these Asian teams and one that they're expected 38:20.340 --> 38:21.340 to win on. 38:21.340 --> 38:23.420 So for Twisted Minds, the ball is in their court. 38:23.420 --> 38:24.420 How are they going to innovate? 38:24.420 --> 38:25.420 How are they going to adapt? 38:25.420 --> 38:28.420 It's going to be the name of the game because Crazy Raccoon always keep their opponents 38:28.420 --> 38:29.420 guessing. 38:29.420 --> 38:32.020 Yeah, definitely the underdogs going into this one. 38:32.020 --> 38:33.880 But you got to put some respect under name. 38:33.880 --> 38:38.180 We always talk about how talented the Twisted Minds roster is from top to bottom. 38:38.180 --> 38:42.500 the tanks, the damage players and the support players, but looking forward to see how someone 38:42.500 --> 38:46.820 like Fanny Astro adapts to this meta, I said yesterday that I think this is a bit of a 38:46.820 --> 38:52.020 main support tournament because I think that these Jetpack Cal players, they have unparalleled 38:52.020 --> 38:56.380 amounts of impact in positioning their bashing correctly and making sure that your hitscan 38:56.380 --> 39:01.420 player can really deliver because Quartz, usually an elite player on this roster that 39:01.420 --> 39:05.220 has so much impact, especially in the World Finals, taking over games as the soldier and 39:05.220 --> 39:07.220 He doesn't really move around the smarts anymore 39:07.220 --> 39:10.300 It's up to the death back cat to put quartz in a position to succeed 39:10.300 --> 39:15.240 It's interesting because you look at both funding Astro and quartz and their players that you really want to have kind of unleashed in their 39:15.240 --> 39:20.960 Own right to be able to make place whether it's the loose here or the hard hits can and this is a meta that asks the two of those players to 39:20.960 --> 39:23.860 Both make sacrifices to come together to form 39:23.940 --> 39:27.280 You know a single unit really an entire cohesive team 39:27.640 --> 39:31.960 Meanwhile the rest of the match is often incredibly chaotic and so I think in a land environment 39:31.960 --> 39:35.460 It's a true test of a team's ability to communicate and adapt on the fly. 39:35.460 --> 39:39.960 One that I think is not impossible for Twisted Minds, but historically, 39:39.960 --> 39:43.960 they have played much more grouped up coordination comps 39:43.960 --> 39:47.960 where CrazyRakun look very comfortable in these kind of chaotic dive matches. 39:47.960 --> 39:52.960 Yeah, and CrazyRakun as well. I think that they are kind of defining this meta really well 39:52.960 --> 39:55.960 when we look at Settledivision, which is the number one suit in Asia. 39:55.960 --> 39:57.960 They have a bit more flair to them, Violet Shoe. 39:57.960 --> 40:03.460 They can wake up and say, we want to play the Elari, we want to play the Batiste, we'll shake things up a little bit. 40:03.460 --> 40:08.960 I think Cracer or Coon so far, because they've had to pick up players like Vigilante to fill the shoes of Shu, 40:08.960 --> 40:12.460 and Stalker getting more playtime over Lip, they've kind of played more default. 40:12.460 --> 40:14.960 They've played the meta without as much flair. 40:14.960 --> 40:16.960 As we take a look here at the bounce, Jake. 40:16.960 --> 40:19.460 Pretty surprising, Johnny, to see a Winston ban. 40:19.460 --> 40:22.960 I mean, Winston's just not a hero that I think has looked good at all in this meta. 40:22.960 --> 40:25.960 I mean, with Amalga and Bastion being played Reaper as well, 40:25.960 --> 40:30.160 Well, you know a lot of conventional wins and counters are very much in the meta 40:30.160 --> 40:34.900 But still twisted minds gonna get rid of that first. I think they're probably saving some of these more impactful bans 40:34.900 --> 40:40.180 Remember now that we're in that first to three format teams get a little bit more time to stretch their legs and get into the series 40:40.180 --> 40:44.440 So you really want to look deeper down the pipe and I think that's what twisted minds are doing with this opening band 40:44.440 --> 40:49.640 Yeah, and it looks like they've banned second as well as EMEA number one seed here 40:50.120 --> 40:54.820 Chris I'm going to ban out the Cassidy and so both of these bands kind of tell me that maybe twisted minds 40:54.820 --> 41:00.540 We're looking for a more Lucio-Cassidy kind of approach which we have seen some teams do when they don't want to match 41:00.540 --> 41:06.540 That jetpack cat and try to maneuver again around the the outside angles of this Ilios map 41:07.300 --> 41:11.580 And I think this is going to be a matchup Jake where both of these teams are going to feel each other out 41:11.580 --> 41:14.740 See what they can bring when it comes to different kinds of compositions 41:14.740 --> 41:18.820 What can we learn from this matchup as we get deeper into the tournament? 41:19.740 --> 41:21.740 Definitely and opening up on Ilios 41:21.740 --> 41:28.140 bit of a surprising choice for TM in the world that this is Crazy Raccoon's comfort zone. 41:28.140 --> 41:32.340 Historically these Korean teams have looked like Ilios is their best map by far. 41:32.340 --> 41:36.740 They might be a little bit surprised as well, frankly, on the rollout, but TM, 41:36.740 --> 41:40.900 queuing up, they might just go pound for pound in the Cat Bastion Mirror. 41:40.900 --> 41:45.620 A win here would really just flip the script on this match and put Crazy Raccoon on their heels. 41:45.620 --> 41:49.700 Yeah, that would be very surprising if Twisted Minds were able to match Crazy Raccoon, 41:49.700 --> 41:54.640 But they are the reigning world champions. This is an early opportunity, Jake, for Twisted Minds to get a grasp on 41:54.940 --> 42:01.820 how they fare against a team like Christian Raccoon. Is this a composition we can rely on in a deeper as this tournament progresses? 42:02.260 --> 42:07.560 Or is this maybe a composition that will have to abandon for our best chance of winning this very tournament? 42:07.560 --> 42:12.900 Jon Bin's going to play his iconic signature Wrecking Ball, and this is something they'd like to do in combining He-Sang with Jon Bin. 42:13.140 --> 42:15.500 Try to put pressure on the back line of simple. 42:15.500 --> 42:20.500 Flash informs traded, now Tracer's poking, prodding, looking for any advantage. 42:20.500 --> 42:24.500 None found just yet, Jun been in the back, having a bit of opportunity to work now. 42:24.500 --> 42:30.500 Putting some pressure on, takes a lot of damage in the trade, but actually slams over the wall and rolls out, so he's doing just fine. 42:30.500 --> 42:34.500 TVNT don't find Vigilante, left alone on the onto one of the difficult parts about this comp, 42:34.500 --> 42:39.500 protecting the onto often. She goes without resources, but it will cost TVNT his suit. 42:39.500 --> 42:45.240 Dan J was peeling for his team right now, so now his team and T completely alone, getting the job done here. 42:45.240 --> 42:48.460 Both teams kind of brawling, contesting this point right now. 42:48.460 --> 42:51.320 It's up to the Tracers, the D.O. players, can they find any of these picks? 42:51.320 --> 42:59.680 Oh, first clip does come in, T.V. and T. Low on the baby D.Va, does go down to he's sang, but Junden loses almost all of his HP in the process and courts. 42:59.680 --> 43:02.800 Finds stalker crucially, winning the duel in the sky. 43:02.800 --> 43:09.480 Now, Cat Bastion for Twisted Minds, able to rain down terror from above, he's sang desperate now, looking for something, anything to bring his team back in for him. 43:09.480 --> 43:11.480 It should have been reminded first. 43:11.480 --> 43:13.480 Now Kunlun is available for J.Boo as Kraserakun. 43:13.480 --> 43:15.480 Look at the fight back in this one. 43:15.480 --> 43:17.480 Simple under a lot of pressure. 43:17.480 --> 43:20.480 And this looks like Kraserakun going to win this verify. 43:20.480 --> 43:22.480 Quartz still alive in the TBSG. 43:22.480 --> 43:24.480 Oh, the drop! 43:24.480 --> 43:26.480 Oh, Krimpen crawls back up. 43:26.480 --> 43:29.480 Saved by the team, but Quartz still running rampant on the point. 43:29.480 --> 43:31.480 Turret form fourth. They're trying to desperately finish him off. 43:31.480 --> 43:33.480 Funny astral. 43:33.480 --> 43:36.480 Perfect peel to keep the bastard alive into the artillery form as well. 43:36.480 --> 43:38.480 Clearing the minefield, staying alive. 43:38.480 --> 43:43.280 And finally both fashions off but this whole time the point ticks up for Twisted Minds. 43:43.280 --> 43:47.880 And Jiminy points another frag, all too simple here. Vigilante is going to get close to that Nano as well. 43:47.880 --> 43:52.880 Twisted Minds just wielding percentage this very moment, but for the funny Astro Town, the sustain is gone. 43:52.880 --> 43:55.280 And this should be Chris Raccoon flipping the point any moment. 43:55.280 --> 43:58.280 An absolute tour de force for Jungman. 43:58.280 --> 44:01.280 A score of kills already on this match. 44:01.280 --> 44:05.080 He's got what, 8-9? I mean a disgusting performance on Wrecking Ball still. 44:05.080 --> 44:10.500 Twisted Minds, the incredible staying power on point, puts them in pole position to close out this first round. 44:10.500 --> 44:13.180 Great Raccoon, no room for mistakes now. 44:13.180 --> 44:18.680 No room for mistakes whatsoever, and stalker already putting a lot of pressure onto Twisted Minds here from these guys, Vigilante? 44:18.680 --> 44:24.980 Past this non-abuse as well, so Kraser or Coon, we're gonna look to find an opportunity here to put pressure onto Twisted Minds. 44:24.980 --> 44:28.680 Twisted Minds are so split right now, you have two people coming back from hitting the point. 44:28.680 --> 44:34.060 Nano comes out, it's on the he-sang unconventional in this matchup, but the Katsunei Russian 44:34.060 --> 44:37.800 simple TBNT's pressure on the point gets the flip through. 44:37.800 --> 44:41.200 Adidas bomb looks like pulled off the map, TBNT popping next to stay alive, Tumbe with 44:41.200 --> 44:44.680 the slam takes down J-Woo, and finds another one to court! 44:44.680 --> 44:47.600 Shouldn't been does it all! 44:47.600 --> 44:52.000 Popping off here on the wrecking ball, customize the word, and finish with 5th the pointer actually, 44:52.000 --> 44:58.200 so 75% and counting, still doing a good job, just playing the objective here for now. 44:58.200 --> 45:01.800 Crazy Raccoon, they end up winning the fight, but only at 30% so far. 45:01.800 --> 45:06.800 Really fantastic play from Tien, getting these flips in the mid-fight, meaning Crazy Raccoon has to work so hard 45:06.800 --> 45:14.200 to move the needle on this objective. Junmin's doing everything he can, but it's not really translated into advantage on the map just yet. 45:14.200 --> 45:17.200 Gotta look out for the dive here. Peace sign. Go sound early! 45:17.200 --> 45:22.200 Oh! Tool in the sky, heals coming up. Simple. Great awareness to keep his Bastion alive now. 45:22.200 --> 45:27.200 Opportunity. Four Quartz to push forward a minefield. Force down on the point. Just to hold on to this contest. 45:27.200 --> 45:32.840 Beautiful positioning there from J-Woo, and a double blank gets into the back now, he's in on top of it to Lanny. 45:32.840 --> 45:36.760 Tracer comes back trying to peel this one out, but this makes a lot of space for Twisted Minds now, 45:36.760 --> 45:38.260 seizing control of the skies. 45:38.260 --> 45:40.640 They're just playing so well positionally here. 45:40.640 --> 45:43.960 Faniaccio is going to go down, there's a lot of sustain out here for Twisted Minds. 45:43.960 --> 45:45.760 See if he can fight the pick here. 45:45.760 --> 45:47.760 Try to keep up in this very fight. 45:47.760 --> 45:51.260 Ball spawns out, force him to the artillery. 45:51.260 --> 45:55.860 Making space, but as you've mentioned, the cap does go their way, Trimdon finds another boob off. 45:55.860 --> 46:01.420 Unstoppable on this wrecking ball. Still twisted mind and control playing with the house cash right now. 46:01.420 --> 46:05.900 Trying to potentially finish this fight but it seems that Jumbin has done a little bit too much. 46:05.900 --> 46:09.300 He needs to clean this one up but has a new core of 99 and he's safe. Hold up! 46:09.300 --> 46:09.800 Wow! 46:09.800 --> 46:11.940 Buddy Astro with one TV and T with another. 46:11.940 --> 46:14.660 Crazy Raccoon Nano on stalker in desperation. 46:14.660 --> 46:19.060 Will it be enough? Jumbin needs to find something else in this fight but they find the flip and the chaos. 46:19.060 --> 46:21.220 3 vs 3 right now. On to the point. 46:21.220 --> 46:24.180 A lot of health here for Crazy Raccoon still. 46:24.180 --> 46:27.180 J-Woo trying to put pressure. Pulse bomb! 46:27.180 --> 46:32.180 Huge pulse from J-Woo, and turn by his low as well. Twisted mines battling back into this simple. 46:32.180 --> 46:36.180 On the road back, on the warpath, looking to drop this Katsune rush and contest the point. 46:36.180 --> 46:40.180 A pull off the map go would be deadly, and it finds KBNT. 46:40.180 --> 46:43.180 Beautiful by Chorong. Protecting the opportunity for CR. 46:43.180 --> 46:47.180 Stalker back on the reaper, looking to brawl this one out. Quartz looking left, right and center, 46:47.180 --> 46:50.180 but all he finds is a Pulse Bomb. 46:50.180 --> 46:53.380 Twisted Minds now out of gas on this first checkpoint, 46:53.380 --> 46:55.220 just a stacker from J.Boo to hold on, 46:55.220 --> 46:57.620 but Crazy Raccoon through the fire and the flames, 46:57.620 --> 46:59.620 somehow they get this first round gone. 46:59.620 --> 47:03.580 What a way to kick off this series. 47:03.580 --> 47:05.700 All right, 99 to 96%, 47:05.700 --> 47:09.500 Twisted Minds doing a fantastic job playing the objective there, 47:10.860 --> 47:12.460 giving themselves a win condition, 47:12.460 --> 47:14.020 but Crazy Raccoon, they're just too much. 47:14.020 --> 47:16.660 The mechanical prowess securing those picks, 47:17.620 --> 47:19.140 winning a lot of those fights, 47:19.140 --> 47:21.140 Well, Twisted Minds focused on the objective. 47:23.140 --> 47:27.140 This is incredibly well done. I mean, it comes down to these tiny moments. 47:27.140 --> 47:31.140 These deathmatch fights. I really feel like you've got to give that first round to Jun Bin, though. 47:31.140 --> 47:37.140 If there's one individual, it's the wrecking ball constantly staying alive, even in the fights. 47:37.140 --> 47:40.140 I mean, Twisted Minds played the strategic game immaculately well. 47:40.140 --> 47:43.140 Tons of flips just from the pressure they put down on the point. 47:43.140 --> 47:47.140 But Jun Bin gives it back in speed with the individual prowess on wrecking ball. 47:47.140 --> 47:53.140 Yeah, so head over to Ruinz here, it's going to be a neutral fight, so look out for these Bastions. 47:53.140 --> 48:00.140 Usually you see one big commit in these aerial duels of course, when he's up over to the form, that's when a lot of damage comes online. 48:00.140 --> 48:05.140 So it's just about picking your opportunity here, see if the Tracers can open things up. That's just a force not as simple actually. 48:05.140 --> 48:08.140 This could be the time to strike for Crystal O'Koon. 48:08.140 --> 48:14.140 Here it goes, choice with a lot more fighting power alongside the D.Va, and Quartz finds a NAVE connection on the vigilante. 48:14.140 --> 48:16.140 And on to Vigilini, is he gonna go down though? 48:16.140 --> 48:17.780 Punishment attempted by Crazy Raccoon, 48:17.780 --> 48:19.740 but the Cat Fashion Combo is separated 48:19.740 --> 48:20.900 and cut to pieces. 48:20.900 --> 48:23.540 Twisted Mind finding the first two kills on the fight, 48:23.540 --> 48:24.780 certainly gonna hold on to this point 48:24.780 --> 48:27.140 and grab the first capture as well. 48:27.140 --> 48:30.220 These are fantastic signs for Twisted Mind's fans right now. 48:30.220 --> 48:32.660 The way they're staying competitive in this one, 48:32.660 --> 48:34.420 that's a retreat towards the objective here, 48:34.420 --> 48:37.100 Crazy Raccoon, just trying to get a couple of picks here 48:37.100 --> 48:39.940 and there, Churong does pick out funny Astro. 48:39.940 --> 48:43.220 But Twisted Minds are looking really impressive here, Drake. 48:43.220 --> 48:47.540 And Johnny, on ruins, the honest walk up is a lot more fraught, right? 48:47.540 --> 48:51.360 On Lighthouse, you don't be pretty reliably get up to that high ground and start putting 48:51.360 --> 48:55.860 down damage, finding opportunities for those Biodes, but on ruins, every step is fraught 48:55.860 --> 48:56.860 with danger. 48:56.860 --> 48:58.860 Yeah, I gotta keep an eye on J.W.E.A.L.D. here. 48:58.860 --> 49:01.020 Ask he-san, put some pressure on the quarts. 49:01.020 --> 49:03.980 Turret form is forced out as well, ask the Seussers, so I'll load up pressure on the 49:03.980 --> 49:04.980 Twisted Minds here. 49:04.980 --> 49:05.980 Simple. 49:05.980 --> 49:09.700 On Sliver's HP, beautiful peel from funding Astro, just barely keeps his Kerakor alive, 49:09.700 --> 49:10.700 but not for long. 49:10.700 --> 49:15.100 Stalker finds one, the pulse bomb is out, not needed though as Tundra and Slam takes down Quartz. 49:15.100 --> 49:18.620 Nautrists admins just trying to hold on to this point for everything they can. 49:18.620 --> 49:22.940 J.Will finding that kill on the vigilante and just injects just a little bit of possibility 49:22.940 --> 49:25.340 into this fight, but he's saying, shuts that down. 49:25.340 --> 49:29.260 Yeah, great execution by Chrysler O'Koon. Getting on top of Quartz there, 49:29.260 --> 49:32.220 maybe identifying that the Bastion was a little bit out of place, 49:33.260 --> 49:37.500 and one second is enough for Chrysler O'Koon to capitalize accordingly as they try to set up 49:37.500 --> 49:42.140 Quite aggressively here with the wrecking ball with the tracer Vigilante is coming up on that nono 49:42.140 --> 49:48.080 But it's gonna have to build it quickly as to the mounds root to look to re-engage with five of us holding forward on the high ground 49:48.660 --> 49:51.780 Done been though taking a lot of pressure in this trade from J. Woo 49:52.340 --> 49:57.580 And with the slam out there's an opportunity for twisted minds to step up put some pressure on the point a massive bank of 49:57.580 --> 50:02.060 Ultimate forms a nano comes out to open the fight he sang into the back line being a sector in all sides 50:02.140 --> 50:04.800 But TV and see what the matrix minimizing his impact as well 50:04.800 --> 50:08.920 the Katsune rush on point, gives Swisserminds an incredible base of firepower from which to fight. 50:08.920 --> 50:12.320 Junbin's slam comes in, but where's the value from it? 50:12.320 --> 50:16.440 Stalker takes down Bunny-Ass, or Kodron cleans up course, even the artillery armor is not enough, 50:16.440 --> 50:19.240 but a 3 on 3 on point, still winnable for either side. 50:19.240 --> 50:24.120 J.Wool cannot cook in here, 3 vs 3, good post bump, Junbin's going to peel away, 50:24.120 --> 50:27.000 so for the time being, Swisserminds, a lot of pressure on towards the point here. 50:27.000 --> 50:29.440 Recoh forced by Nisa, 25 to pick. 50:29.440 --> 50:33.200 Big post onto Simples, shutting down some of the heals for TM, 50:33.200 --> 50:36.500 And with point in control of UBCR, they're trying to desperately hold onto it, 50:36.500 --> 50:39.000 get that extra percentage of duel in the skies, the cat! 50:39.000 --> 50:43.300 Trady is good for FUNNY ASTRO though, who shuts down Chow-Wong, looking for that desperate trade. 50:43.300 --> 50:48.700 Vigilani, over to the Kiriko himself now, sees the value in the ability to brawl out in these low numbers. 50:48.700 --> 50:52.600 And it can't be understated how much QVNT is doing here on this D.Va. 50:52.600 --> 50:57.600 The peel is perfect for Quartz with the defense matrix, and able to sustain throughout these fights, 50:57.600 --> 51:00.700 giving an opportunity to the likes of J-Woo to come up clutch. 51:00.700 --> 51:03.100 58% in ticking air, 4th twist in mines. 51:03.100 --> 51:05.300 That's a big swing that's coming through here for Crazy Raccoon. 51:05.300 --> 51:08.380 It's a big move of a tool in the skies, but it looks like Torch has the better! 51:08.380 --> 51:09.700 Support comes in! 51:09.700 --> 51:11.500 A deep move, a desperate one! 51:11.500 --> 51:13.380 I daresay for Crazy Raccoon! 51:13.380 --> 51:17.340 And with losing a bash in this early TDNT, self-destructing to Renek, 51:17.340 --> 51:20.500 they're in Paul's position to move toward 99. 51:20.500 --> 51:21.300 He sang. 51:21.300 --> 51:24.500 5th up against J-Woo, a lot of pressure off to Fanny Astro as well. 51:24.500 --> 51:26.620 This is the way these compositions are playing. 51:26.620 --> 51:29.300 Very broadly, back and forth, always looking forward for Fanny to get a pick. 51:29.300 --> 51:32.600 Like no recall, he's going to be okay for now. 51:32.600 --> 51:35.660 Huge that he stays alive and a little bit off-sync now with Junbin. 51:35.660 --> 51:37.240 He's saying steps back up to the plate. 51:37.240 --> 51:41.240 Just in mind, may need to yield the capture control for now, and they're forced to. 51:41.240 --> 51:43.500 Now the opportunity for the repush, Junbin is low, 51:43.500 --> 51:46.240 TVNT steps up, holds the corner, but with turrets for him out, 51:46.240 --> 51:48.440 there's an opportunity for Quartz to put the pressure down. 51:48.440 --> 51:50.900 Junbin tries to drop the minefield to slow things down, 51:50.900 --> 51:52.760 but with Katsune rush, it's traded on point. 51:52.760 --> 51:55.880 It's anybody's game, the next kill, could very well decide this. 51:55.880 --> 51:58.680 And Junbin, he fights Quartz first, the fashion's down. 51:58.680 --> 52:03.120 Crusted mines running low, TVNC finds one, but really it'd be enough, they need yet more! 52:03.120 --> 52:05.120 And funny ask, we're just in on the cat! 52:05.120 --> 52:08.620 Shots down He-Sing without DPS, can't see our battle back into this! 52:08.620 --> 52:13.440 Crusted mines got this, Quasaralcun dropping very low at the minute and Jaewoo coming back into this fight. 52:13.440 --> 52:15.940 They should be able to stabilize here, 11% though. 52:15.940 --> 52:18.280 Quasaralcun should be able to regroup here. 52:18.280 --> 52:20.280 Both tracers would oppose from here, Jake. 52:20.780 --> 52:27.580 He-Sing, it's almost a necessity, he needs to find something, but with Bastion up in the air, your targets are so limited here. 52:27.580 --> 52:30.280 Desperation for the Tracer, Twisted Mind's turtle healing. 52:30.280 --> 52:33.480 And with Yseng Force to recall, he's already in dire straits. 52:33.480 --> 52:36.200 The Turf form comes out on point, the cleanse saves him for now. 52:36.200 --> 52:39.100 Great support from C-Arbiter Kospichilani, his life. 52:39.100 --> 52:43.200 Now Yseng pulses out, but it's onto TVNT with self-destruct ready. 52:43.200 --> 52:46.720 J-Woo now, looking for those punishers, trying to shut down the enemy, 52:46.720 --> 52:48.920 determined to do what he can in the face of Quartz. 52:48.920 --> 52:52.080 But Quartz remains healthy, standing tall, strong on this point. 52:52.080 --> 52:54.160 The self-destruct provides space and time. 52:54.160 --> 52:57.040 Bunny Astro stays alive, and it seems the Crazy Raccoon 52:57.040 --> 52:59.940 Struggle and fail to find a finish on round two. 53:00.540 --> 53:03.040 First and minus, closing things out here on ruins. 53:03.040 --> 53:04.640 Going to force a third round. 53:04.640 --> 53:08.640 Junbin, doing a good stalling pressure in four now, but surely not. 53:10.940 --> 53:13.040 Just dribs and traps coming back to the point. 53:13.040 --> 53:17.140 Junbin has another touch in him, but Quartz, comfortable in this back-hikern position. 53:17.140 --> 53:20.040 Bastion untouchable. J-Ru does die to Vigilani. 53:20.040 --> 53:23.040 Some possibility, but the numbers are just too low. 53:23.040 --> 53:30.680 They're playing really calm composter, R-twisted Mice, playing objective really well. 53:30.680 --> 53:32.640 You can see the difference in style. 53:32.640 --> 53:36.800 Chris Raccoon at times, they're going for very wild swings with this bastion. 53:36.800 --> 53:41.560 You can see they're hard committing, going in with the extra speed boost from the Jetback 53:41.560 --> 53:44.360 cat and then hoping that stalker finds that extra pick. 53:44.360 --> 53:47.920 Meanwhile, R-twisted Mice, they're sitting back, they're rotating around the map really 53:47.920 --> 53:51.000 well and playing around TVNT's defense matrix. 53:51.000 --> 53:54.200 And this slower, more composed approach is working out for Twisted Mind so far. 53:54.200 --> 53:58.600 I feel that so much is asked of Jun Bin and he saying in this style, right? 53:58.600 --> 54:04.120 You know, TVNT, what he'll provide with the matrix, with the defensive utility of a self-destruct 54:04.120 --> 54:08.320 to reset his health, incredibly consistent, incredibly valuable. 54:08.320 --> 54:14.240 But Jun Bin, that X factor, that unknown, can sometimes be where championships are won, 54:14.240 --> 54:17.640 the willingness to gamble, to take the risk, to trust a player. 54:17.640 --> 54:19.640 But will Jhin be able to find it? 54:19.640 --> 54:22.640 Knock-offs abound here on Ilyos well. 54:22.640 --> 54:25.640 Historically, a chaotic map as the duel of the skies already begins. 54:25.640 --> 54:27.640 Quartz looking for that tracking advantage. 54:27.640 --> 54:31.640 TBNT up in his face though is going to mitigate the outgoing damage from Stalker. 54:32.640 --> 54:34.640 Both teams looking to reset here for the time being. 54:34.640 --> 54:37.640 Jhin been trying to get into a good position here. 54:37.640 --> 54:39.640 It's going to knock simple. Forced a teleporter actually. 54:40.640 --> 54:43.640 This could be an opening here but Jhin been forced to withdraw. 54:43.640 --> 54:45.640 Both teams taking their time for now. 54:45.640 --> 54:47.640 A lot of pressure on the extremities. 54:47.640 --> 54:49.140 Esen takes a big shot to the face. 54:49.140 --> 54:52.140 It's going to slow him down, send him back, looking for a health back. 54:52.140 --> 54:54.140 DBNT, forcing the issue on this point. 54:54.140 --> 54:57.140 You've got to stay contesting, lest you give up the flip early. 54:57.140 --> 55:01.640 J-Woo, without Riko, playing with reckless abandon here on the flank, 55:01.640 --> 55:04.140 takes heavy pressure from the Japanese, just out of gas. 55:04.140 --> 55:07.640 Riko on half a second cooldown, but they find the kill. 55:07.640 --> 55:09.640 TM now desperate, looking for the trades. 55:09.640 --> 55:11.640 But Crazy Raccoon denied. 55:11.640 --> 55:14.140 Three kills in the fight, and soon to be more. 55:14.140 --> 55:19.540 A simple letter from J.Woo, capitalized on. No cooldowns available for the recall or the blink. 55:19.540 --> 55:23.540 And that lone pick is enough for Quasarucun to secure that very first fight. 55:23.540 --> 55:27.040 And now, Jundbin already with mines up here. 55:27.040 --> 55:31.540 Can maybe pick a spot here where he'd like to leave them, make it difficult for Twisted Mines, 55:31.540 --> 55:34.540 to wrap around on this high ground. 55:34.540 --> 55:37.740 So much freedom for Jundbin on this map. 55:37.740 --> 55:40.740 So much ability to come in and hit the backline. Simple though. 55:40.740 --> 55:43.160 already under attack, cleanses out. 55:43.160 --> 55:45.500 Out of answer, Stalker into the form. 55:45.500 --> 55:47.660 Quartz maybe with an opportunity though to punish, 55:47.660 --> 55:50.040 and Twisted Minds need to seize any chance that they get now, 55:50.040 --> 55:51.600 swarming forward inside the Lighthouse. 55:51.600 --> 55:53.600 Quartz over the top of the Bastion. 55:53.600 --> 55:56.100 But Jumbin already sent into the back with the mind, 55:56.100 --> 55:58.340 feel beautiful tracking from Quartz, but it's not enough. 55:58.340 --> 56:01.200 The artillery provides the help to keep Stalker alive. 56:01.200 --> 56:02.640 This is the timing for Twisted Minds. 56:02.640 --> 56:05.200 They dropped the Getsun Rush, but they couldn't find any value. 56:05.200 --> 56:06.180 In any minute now, 56:06.180 --> 56:08.180 Quaster of Coon are going to turn the fight momentum here, 56:08.180 --> 56:09.520 and with a pick on the simple, 56:09.520 --> 56:13.640 This is all quits to raccoon in this one the trust in junbin seems to have been 56:13.640 --> 56:17.480 warranted stalker fighting simple take the leg out from under twisted mines and 56:17.480 --> 56:21.240 he single finished them finds the completion in the fight and in this 56:21.240 --> 56:25.680 one it really has felt like a different story finally with room to work with on 56:25.680 --> 56:30.640 it Ilios well crazy raccoon taking it to the spawn doors right now Johnny that's 56:30.640 --> 56:33.800 a massive fight that twisted mines just lost there so much investment quartz 56:33.800 --> 56:37.320 temporarily on the way to make your boat can't find the pick required as they 56:37.320 --> 56:42.840 Push Jun Bin back here and this could potentially drag on to the very final fight here. 56:42.840 --> 56:45.080 Vigilante has this Katsune rush. 56:45.080 --> 56:49.480 Chris Raccoon can pick their timing here. 56:49.480 --> 56:51.360 When do they want to deploy? 56:51.360 --> 56:54.200 They're gonna need to move fast. Double support ultimate available for Chris Raccoon. 56:54.200 --> 56:56.760 Hold on, big damage into the backline which Stalker finds court. 56:56.760 --> 57:00.080 Vigilante stays alive into the backline with this Katsune rush. 57:00.080 --> 57:03.320 Self-destruct forced out. Just trying to keep players alive. 57:03.320 --> 57:06.120 So wrong, a slight misstep cost him his life. 57:06.120 --> 57:07.520 But still, it's not gonna be enough. 57:07.520 --> 57:09.400 Twisted Minds need something more. 57:09.400 --> 57:11.620 And in desperation, 95% of the clock, 57:11.620 --> 57:14.520 Crazy Raccoon hunting kills, hunting opportunity, 57:14.520 --> 57:17.560 wanting to take this first map against the World Champs. 57:17.560 --> 57:20.520 Twisted Minds have nothing going for them in this one. 57:20.520 --> 57:23.280 And Lighthouse, going the way of Chris Raccoon, 57:23.280 --> 57:25.520 but also well here, looking to be theirs. 57:25.520 --> 57:26.440 As they close things out, 57:26.440 --> 57:29.320 J-Boo Quartz dropping a quick succession. 57:29.320 --> 57:32.400 And while it was competitive for a couple of rounds there, 57:32.400 --> 57:34.040 Chris Raccoon, they come out on top. 57:34.040 --> 57:52.040 Massive signs of light from Twisted Minds in the Jetpack Cat comp, but Crazy Raccoon making it to that third and decisive round on Ilios Well with the Chunbin Wrecking Ball and the Heesang Tracer is not a place you want to find yourself on the other side of the server from. 57:52.040 --> 57:57.200 What a great first map in this series, the showcase of style between both teams there. 57:57.200 --> 58:05.200 And Twisted Minds did well with the D.Va composition, but that one failed engagement where they couldn't secure any value with the Katsunorosh. 58:05.200 --> 58:10.400 It kind of just allowed Kresgerokun to get away with things on that third and final round. 58:10.400 --> 58:14.560 Now they get the opportunity to get the map pick and the first ban. 58:14.560 --> 58:16.560 See what they want to do in this one. 58:16.560 --> 58:18.560 Do you want to keep playing the Jetpack Cat? 58:18.560 --> 58:23.160 Is this a matchup you're pretty happy with and I wouldn't be pretty happy with it if I'm twisted mind Sarah Jake 58:23.240 --> 58:28.360 But you take this opportunity to maybe for something like a new junk city a circuit we all one of these very 58:29.240 --> 58:32.720 One-sided one dimensional kind of maps and force a different pale style 58:33.640 --> 58:38.800 You always have the opportunity in this best of five to break this jetpack cat Bastion combo 58:38.800 --> 58:42.040 And it's something that you look at a player like quartz and you know 58:42.040 --> 58:47.920 It's hard to argue with it when when he wants to go that way when he can pull out a more conventional hit scan like the sojourn 58:47.920 --> 58:51.920 You'd be hard-pressed to find an opponent who can really stand tall against him. 58:51.920 --> 58:56.920 Stalker though, for his part, from what we've seen from him in this tournament, it has been deadly. 58:56.920 --> 59:01.920 I mean, he has been shooting back in the worst kind of way when he plays these core hitscans like Cassidy. 59:01.920 --> 59:08.920 Yeah, he's really wanted to commit to this hitscans role for a while now and gets the opportunity to do so here on this 59:08.920 --> 59:12.920 Chris Raccoon roster, of course, replacing Lit, who is currently the substitute for Chris Raccoon. 59:12.920 --> 59:18.920 It's been an adapting phase for Chris Raccoon and obviously they've adjusted extremely well to this new meta 59:18.920 --> 59:22.920 coming their way, making things a little bit easier for them after a rough start to the year. 59:23.920 --> 59:28.920 And this is maybe Twisted Minds thinking about, okay, you look really good in the Jetpack cat composition, 59:29.920 --> 59:33.920 but maybe we can beat you if we're for some kind of loosey or Juno brick style. 59:34.920 --> 59:37.920 They have a lot of opportunities, a lot of tools in the toolbox. 59:37.920 --> 59:42.960 And so for stalker you mentioned this is a test for him as a player and it's gonna get difficult 59:44.520 --> 59:46.520 Gotta get harder before it gets easier 59:47.480 --> 59:48.560 It's twisted minds 59:48.560 --> 59:52.160 I mean link what they've shown is that they do not go down without a fight and you look back to this first round 59:52.400 --> 59:57.080 Very easily could have gone the other way and we would have been looking at a two out for twisted minds 59:57.080 --> 01:00:03.160 I felt strategically on Ilios well the wrecking ball looked like drastically stronger 01:00:03.160 --> 01:00:08.240 But on the first two maps I I was with you. I believe the diva looked incredibly good 01:00:08.240 --> 01:00:10.680 So I don't think it was crazy for twisted minds to go here 01:00:10.680 --> 01:00:16.280 I mean I was a little surprised by the Ilios picked frankly against the Korean teams against a team like crazy racoon 01:00:16.280 --> 01:00:20.640 I mean, this is where they're most comfortable to the minds very nearly took it to them in two rounds 01:00:20.640 --> 01:00:25.020 Yeah, I think set a division or watching this map and putting a lot of respect on twisted minds names like all right 01:00:25.240 --> 01:00:31.840 We weren't familiar with your Ilios game because it's always been the Korean teams go to map the way they've been dominating EMEA in North America 01:00:31.840 --> 01:00:39.040 on a map like this, I mean he sang in Jundin. I really respect Twisted Minds for how well 01:00:39.040 --> 01:00:42.480 they performed in this one because of the level of coordination required to navigate 01:00:42.480 --> 01:00:46.600 around the wrecking ball from Jundin and he sang on that tracer as well. The fact we're 01:00:46.600 --> 01:00:50.480 able to stay alive that initial engagement with the defense matrix and then turn things 01:00:50.480 --> 01:00:55.040 around allowing course of time to get the picks required with the Bastion. I think it's 01:00:55.040 --> 01:00:59.000 very impressive from Twisted Minds because we know we're familiar with Cracer Coon, we're 01:00:59.000 --> 01:01:03.680 familiar with this kind of style from them and how good they are playing the 01:01:03.680 --> 01:01:07.880 breaking ballcom. And there's individuals on this team right you know 01:01:07.880 --> 01:01:11.520 that they've cut their teeth I think as you know some of the best rush players 01:01:11.520 --> 01:01:17.000 in the world but bringing on an upstart superstar like J-Woo you know it just 01:01:17.000 --> 01:01:20.880 gives them an incredible versatility look at this look at that recall that is 01:01:20.880 --> 01:01:25.400 insanely close I mean that's the kind of margin that Crazy Raccoon are playing 01:01:25.400 --> 01:01:28.600 They are punishing you on a quarter second recall cooldown. 01:01:28.600 --> 01:01:33.900 That's just the level of play that is required to reign as champion here in Tokyo. 01:01:33.900 --> 01:01:36.400 And it's like what, a 30, 40 second skirmish? 01:01:36.400 --> 01:01:38.400 Both teams going back to 4th, creating abilities. 01:01:38.400 --> 01:01:39.400 Chorong! 01:01:39.400 --> 01:01:40.400 Wait, we don't... 01:01:40.400 --> 01:01:42.900 A little bit of a slip up, a little bit of a slip up. 01:01:42.900 --> 01:01:48.400 Well, it's kind of scary because if he just drops it, then maybe he put his team in danger. 01:01:48.400 --> 01:01:49.400 And so... 01:01:49.400 --> 01:01:51.400 You want to get it to a good spot? 01:01:51.400 --> 01:01:52.400 Yeah, exactly. 01:01:52.400 --> 01:01:56.880 These are just waste disposal, bring this off the map, no one needs to worry about that anymore. 01:01:56.880 --> 01:02:00.800 I'd be so tilted if the jetpack had just said, okay, I'm going to drop the bomb here because 01:02:00.800 --> 01:02:01.800 I don't want to die. 01:02:01.800 --> 01:02:03.800 And then I'm like, wait, what about me though? 01:02:03.800 --> 01:02:04.800 What about me though? 01:02:04.800 --> 01:02:08.760 So Chorong, you know, he had to pick and unfortunately couldn't get away in time. 01:02:08.760 --> 01:02:13.960 Max subs in, which says to me, you went beyond with the Circuit Royale idea here. 01:02:13.960 --> 01:02:18.240 I mean, Max, typically I think we see him come in for these very heavy committed off 01:02:18.240 --> 01:02:20.280 tank style maps. 01:02:20.280 --> 01:02:25.000 I don't know what else in the pool is really gonna go that direction other than 01:02:25.800 --> 01:02:32.400 So we're gonna crazy racoon like the max jump in true thing I spend me ongoing dating back to the San Francisco shock days 01:02:33.200 --> 01:02:37.100 But we've seen both of these tank pairs to get some playtime each 01:02:37.260 --> 01:02:41.940 Mauga has obviously been a really popular tank to play as well in these kind of compositions the way you can 01:02:42.240 --> 01:02:46.320 Overrun into very tight corridors and say alive using the cardiac overdrive 01:02:46.320 --> 01:02:53.740 Of course, you also have some extra damage output on to the enemy Bastion enemy jet back at if you are playing with 01:02:53.740 --> 01:02:58.560 Mauga's longer range guns as we're going to Realtor here for Twisted Minds very interesting 01:02:58.560 --> 01:03:03.480 It's a choice that is kind of a jet back at Bastion kind of map. It seems very possible 01:03:03.480 --> 01:03:09.620 I mean it also seems like a place where you could opening ban Bastion as Twisted Minds and say alright stalker 01:03:09.620 --> 01:03:11.880 You've looked you've looked impressive, you know 01:03:11.880 --> 01:03:18.880 You know, you've beaten many a team, many a team on the warpath that it took to qualify here as the number two seed from Asia, 01:03:18.880 --> 01:03:22.880 but can you handle the Quartz Widowmaker on a map like Rialto? 01:03:22.880 --> 01:03:25.880 Not many players could pass that test in the world. 01:03:25.880 --> 01:03:30.880 That's a bit of a piece, Jake. The Quartz Widowmaker, like, we don't get to see that that often, but... 01:03:30.880 --> 01:03:32.880 Oh, I mean... 01:03:32.880 --> 01:03:33.880 Opportunity alone? 01:03:33.880 --> 01:03:40.880 Like, if I were just in minds, I'd be wanting to take it there. When it comes to, you know, what kind of a player are you really going to give the ball to 01:03:40.880 --> 01:03:45.200 In a crucial map like this, you know and in a first to three this second map 01:03:45.200 --> 01:03:49.600 I think is maybe the most important map in this series if you drop this here you go down to oh 01:03:49.600 --> 01:03:52.820 It's an it's like a monumental task to come back in the series 01:03:52.820 --> 01:03:59.040 But if you hold the line you even the score at 1-1 you make your mark here as a team that will not fold easily 01:03:59.360 --> 01:04:01.120 Could change everything 01:04:01.120 --> 01:04:03.120 Could change everything indeed 01:04:03.120 --> 01:04:09.320 As we talk about Max here playing against Dallas fuel yesterday when Dallas fuel tried to play that double flex support composition 01:04:09.320 --> 01:04:19.720 And maybe that's a point to be made too, that by picking Rialto, you are denying the possibility of Chris Raccoon taking you to Circuit Rial later on in the series. 01:04:19.720 --> 01:04:29.120 And if I'm twisted minds, yeah, we can put some respect on Faniasro's name, but I'm probably more scared of a Churrong Vigilante kind of double-fix support lineup than I am of twisted minds. 01:04:29.120 --> 01:04:36.120 And so, not only do we get the pick here of Rialto as an Escobar Mojepo, we're also denying possibility of Circuit Rial. 01:04:36.120 --> 01:04:43.360 Yeah, I love the Bastion ban here, you know, deploying it obviously takes you out of what has been the dominant meta choice of this tournament. 01:04:43.860 --> 01:04:47.600 And I think it also protects the Widowmaker, which I genuinely think is a reasonable ban. 01:04:47.760 --> 01:04:50.200 If you if you get the chance to against Quartz on this map, 01:04:51.500 --> 01:04:54.380 Alari taking it away, mitigates some of the 01:04:54.840 --> 01:04:57.940 Honestly, I think it mitigates some of the most dangerous threats in a Widow comp. 01:04:57.940 --> 01:05:02.220 When there's an Alari watching the flank on top of a Widow, you're really on the Widow, huh? 01:05:02.220 --> 01:05:03.380 You think we're gonna see it? 01:05:03.380 --> 01:05:07.940 I think it's I would I would I'd say it's 10 to 1. I mean almost certainly this has to be widow here for me 01:05:08.100 --> 01:05:11.500 For me at least on first point. Maybe you swap, you know a second 01:05:11.500 --> 01:05:15.460 I feel like we haven't seen with a maker in so long that I'm kind of a little bit in denial 01:05:15.460 --> 01:05:19.600 I mean we had some big widow maker matters in the past where we just let the hits can play 01:05:19.600 --> 01:05:26.180 I mean but hugely like and you got to remember in that this level of play. It's actually really significant on a map like real 01:05:26.180 --> 01:05:27.280 to because 01:05:27.280 --> 01:05:31.440 Like first point. There's no real way to get to the widow maker other than crossing the sideline 01:05:31.440 --> 01:05:36.480 There's that one long hallway to high ground right and you're defending first point, but the Venomite there's so many places 01:05:36.480 --> 01:05:40.640 It could be it's incredibly hard as tracer to blink past every doorway waste your CDs 01:05:40.640 --> 01:05:43.780 And on top of that you're gonna meet resistance before you get to courts 01:05:43.780 --> 01:05:49.500 Like it isn't just the court show right it's the entire team a phalanx around him and so I'm so all in on this 01:05:49.500 --> 01:05:52.400 It's gonna look silly if I'm wrong, but that's how I roll Johnny 01:05:52.400 --> 01:05:56.200 No, I fully believe in you Jake if you say that we're gonna get some Widowmaker 01:05:56.200 --> 01:05:59.400 I'm fully locked in and I'd be so happy to see it 01:05:59.400 --> 01:06:20.400 I'm thinking back to like, burrowing, popping off on Rialto, just taking over on maps like this, like you said it's a very iconic Widowmaker map in that sense, you know, the defense, you've got the sidelines onto the payload as you capture the first point, you can swing around the Riverside area as well and try to look for some off angle shots. 01:06:20.400 --> 01:06:25.400 And so I would love to see the Widowmaker, I just feel like we haven't seen it in so long Jake, that I'm a little bit into disbelief. 01:06:25.400 --> 01:06:30.920 Yeah, I think it poses an interesting question for Crazy Raccoon, because in my eyes, you 01:06:30.920 --> 01:06:34.680 look at a player like Stalker who has been a world-class flex DPS. 01:06:34.680 --> 01:06:38.560 Like, he might be playing hitscan now, but there's no question about his ability to hold 01:06:38.560 --> 01:06:43.480 his own and surpass many of these committed flex DPS players on the flanker. 01:06:43.480 --> 01:06:47.640 So you could come out with a double flanker setup and really try to push the pace, especially 01:06:47.640 --> 01:06:48.640 with a lorry ban. 01:06:48.640 --> 01:06:52.280 I could see something like that be of interest to Crazy Raccoon. 01:06:52.280 --> 01:06:53.280 This is a real test for them. 01:06:53.280 --> 01:07:01.080 Like how do they approach a twisted mind who is I think one of the most devastating teams in the game right now when it comes to these slow poke setups 01:07:03.680 --> 01:07:06.640 See what kind of compositions Chris Raccoon play here 01:07:07.400 --> 01:07:10.700 We've seen some of the Korean teams bring out this missouki look 01:07:11.100 --> 01:07:14.340 With that nerve to lose here December being a little bit worse 01:07:14.560 --> 01:07:18.080 We've seen more teams being willing to flex over to the missouki 01:07:18.080 --> 01:07:21.720 Especially with the changes well to the ultimate it now negates for the titles whether you're shooting in or out 01:07:21.720 --> 01:07:27.760 So this has been a hero that's been played around with and I think yesterday even some of the community were thinking like okay 01:07:27.760 --> 01:07:32.400 Well, this is not a real it's not a real hero pick. Yeah, I hope this is good. This hero is good 01:07:32.400 --> 01:07:38.540 I think it's been good if people underestimate the power of aura healing a we here. It's yeah hugely impactful 01:07:38.600 --> 01:07:41.240 It just doesn't give that obvious visual punch 01:07:41.920 --> 01:07:46.800 Just in mind's gonna scout out the opposition consider the way they want to approach this for now holding the Zarya strap 01:07:46.800 --> 01:07:50.100 We'll see what they actually commit to when they see the full comp from crazy raccoon 01:07:50.100 --> 01:07:55.100 Yeah, this is such a difficult composition to break down as well. 01:07:55.100 --> 01:07:59.100 I love that. Look at that from Chorong. Steps with the cart and teleports back. 01:07:59.100 --> 01:08:00.600 Beautiful little microstall. 01:08:00.600 --> 01:08:04.100 J.Woo is going to swap over to the far end, so Polk is the name of the game here. 01:08:06.100 --> 01:08:10.100 Polk's Chorong down to the low ground and has to teleport back. He's getting a lot of carts to off this Mizuki. 01:08:10.100 --> 01:08:12.100 Love the value there. 01:08:13.100 --> 01:08:16.100 Stalker definitely is going to have his work cut out for him here on the cast. 01:08:16.100 --> 01:08:20.100 He has to deal with J.Woo's Pharah and Quartz's pressure from the Emory at the same time. 01:08:20.100 --> 01:08:24.600 And he's already getting low. He's the main target. Maywall does come out. Hold on. Catches T.V.N.T. 01:08:24.600 --> 01:08:28.600 Needs to get bailed out. The cleanse is good, but still has to back off off that one. 01:08:28.600 --> 01:08:33.100 I think this is so scary because that Wall is going to come up and put me a spot on Pharah. 01:08:33.100 --> 01:08:35.100 Astro gets picked here. T.V.N.T. 01:08:35.100 --> 01:08:38.600 He's feeling like he's going to be in such trouble trying to play this Zarya. 01:08:38.600 --> 01:08:42.100 And he's kind of relying on J.Woo, of course, to open things up here with a pick. 01:08:42.100 --> 01:08:44.600 And it's really difficult to do against a composition like this. 01:08:44.600 --> 01:08:48.360 Still, even with that pick, Twisted Minds do not back off for a second. 01:08:48.360 --> 01:08:52.880 They continue to fight for V5, absolutely fearless as Quartz takes a bit of high ground control, 01:08:52.880 --> 01:08:56.960 looking to work for a pick, and relatively uncontested here, which is not the sentence 01:08:56.960 --> 01:08:58.720 you want to be saying playing against Quartz. 01:08:58.720 --> 01:08:59.720 They will. 01:08:59.720 --> 01:09:02.440 They have enough trouble here on the outskirts. 01:09:02.440 --> 01:09:03.440 Gets run down. 01:09:03.440 --> 01:09:04.440 Beautiful rotation there. 01:09:04.440 --> 01:09:07.920 Assist on the stalker who shuts him down again, and now he gets deep into the backline on 01:09:07.920 --> 01:09:08.920 Tubble Quartz. 01:09:08.920 --> 01:09:10.960 Great move, but not great enough. 01:09:10.960 --> 01:09:12.960 And May into the backline pulls understraction. 01:09:12.960 --> 01:09:17.160 FnT finds one on the counter play and the second beautiful finds on the Zarya is going 01:09:17.160 --> 01:09:20.960 to set this defense on its heels. Despite the reset for Twisted Minds, their spawn is 01:09:20.960 --> 01:09:21.960 much closer. 01:09:21.960 --> 01:09:27.600 Already two minutes drained of the timer here as both teams starting to build up that ultimate 01:09:27.600 --> 01:09:28.600 economy. 01:09:28.600 --> 01:09:32.040 Crazy Raccoon been very quick to build up five ultimates here from the Astro. 01:09:32.040 --> 01:09:35.000 Still only 60% on this sound barrier. 01:09:35.000 --> 01:09:39.960 This should be Crazy Raccoon with some good ultimate layering winning this fight but they're 01:09:39.960 --> 01:09:41.960 letting Twisted Minds push the court quite a bit here. 01:09:41.960 --> 01:09:44.620 Max still getting a lot of value on the flank, shuts down Quartz. 01:09:45.380 --> 01:09:50.080 Hainun is out, with some pressure down. Big grab with the Musukio, keeps them all alive! 01:09:50.420 --> 01:09:53.460 The guy takes where he denies any kind of follow-up on that grab, 01:09:53.460 --> 01:09:57.960 twisted mines, sent packing with two of their most important ults, already deployed. 01:09:58.820 --> 01:10:00.660 I feel like this is really convincing. 01:10:01.120 --> 01:10:04.460 In the favor of Kresger Raccoon so far, yes, they used four ultimates there, 01:10:04.460 --> 01:10:09.820 which is very important, of course, and getting value from this flux is going to be quite difficult, 01:10:09.820 --> 01:10:14.100 especially his funny astro approaches the soundbearer, but the clock is quickly ticking here Jake, 01:10:14.100 --> 01:10:16.220 twisted mines, not a lot of opportunities left. 01:10:16.220 --> 01:10:19.300 Quartz needs to find something with this override protocol, needs to come over the top, 01:10:19.300 --> 01:10:24.420 already taking some damage, Stalker in quick with the plank, wants to kind of beat the punch for these ultimates, 01:10:24.420 --> 01:10:27.620 but now override protocol turns, trying to clean up these opposition, 01:10:27.620 --> 01:10:30.620 and they do shut down Stalker, but not before he finds his one. 01:10:32.220 --> 01:10:34.300 Where's Stalker going? Continue to put pressure on here, 01:10:34.300 --> 01:10:36.140 Steve Inti, going to survive for now. 01:10:36.140 --> 01:10:44.140 This is maybe when you're looking for a bit of an engagement. Funny as though it's going to be forced to hold on to this sound barrier to prevent Max getting value from the flux. 01:10:44.140 --> 01:10:47.140 Still, this car just refuses to move forward. 01:10:47.140 --> 01:10:52.140 Max dominates them on the Sigma. Every time they come to Kadeski, he finds his punish. 01:10:52.140 --> 01:10:58.140 And even CBNT both debut a desperation barrage for one, but it's too little too late in this fight. 01:10:58.140 --> 01:11:02.140 Forge is going to substitute over to the soldier here instead. 01:11:02.140 --> 01:11:08.640 One single rail could open things up here, but you're looking at Grace Rokund, they're almost there for another Kitsuna rush 01:11:08.940 --> 01:11:15.940 With 30 seconds left here, twisted mines, running out of options and making some desperation swaps, QNT, over to Ramothra here as well 01:11:16.740 --> 01:11:20.940 Joe Rong, he's like he's finding so much impact, almost untouchable on this Mizuki 01:11:21.640 --> 01:11:30.140 Stalker with a little bit of root, and he takes Gorten off from Rage, the peacekeeper rings out the beat, purely defences from Funny Astro 01:11:30.140 --> 01:11:33.140 Stalker back in deep on the flight to rush deployed as well. 01:11:33.140 --> 01:11:36.140 They want to break the back of twisted minds of the clock ticking low. 01:11:36.140 --> 01:11:39.140 Simple, a rush on him though, keep players alive and in the fight. 01:11:39.140 --> 01:11:43.140 J.Woo grabs that overtime contest and sure there's still a fight to be played, 01:11:43.140 --> 01:11:45.140 but into the sanctuary is in a difficult place to fight. 01:11:46.140 --> 01:11:50.140 So difficult, and as we're going to walk up here, Stalker has the dead eye as well. 01:11:51.140 --> 01:11:53.140 J.Woo trying to peek. Oh! 01:11:53.140 --> 01:11:55.140 Oh! Funny as well, quick stop again. 01:11:55.140 --> 01:11:59.140 He's so dialed but Quartz battling back needs to shut down this opposing hitscan. 01:11:59.140 --> 01:12:05.140 The high noon rings out, finds it smart, TVNT is down, Max, pure domination on the cart, 01:12:05.140 --> 01:12:10.140 sends porch running for the hills, J-Woo desperately keeps this overtime in contest, but not for long, 01:12:10.140 --> 01:12:13.140 and the cart hails at the first corner. 01:12:13.140 --> 01:12:16.140 Crazy raccoon came to win here in Tokyo. 01:12:18.140 --> 01:12:26.140 So mentally crushing for twisted minds, so competitive on Ilios, and so one-sided here on Rialto, 01:12:26.140 --> 01:12:30.740 And the May-Sigma composition with the Mizuki, it's real Jake. 01:12:30.740 --> 01:12:36.380 Twist in minds, scrambling for answers, and as the other teams look on, they're now thinking, 01:12:36.380 --> 01:12:39.980 what are their answers to try and take down this composition we've now seen from 01:12:39.980 --> 01:12:42.660 Kresger Wakun and Settler Division? 01:12:42.660 --> 01:12:49.140 We talked about the Quartz Widowmaker much-vaunted, but now the hit-scan duel seems to have decisively 01:12:49.140 --> 01:12:53.060 gone in the favor of Stalker in that last round. 01:12:53.060 --> 01:12:57.540 Barcourt's found big damage but never able to really break open that hole. 01:12:57.540 --> 01:13:02.700 Even when Fraser Raccoon did back off, it was but for a moment and that golden box of 01:13:02.700 --> 01:13:07.380 victory is devastated and twisted in mind as they roll out on this defense. 01:13:07.380 --> 01:13:11.300 A monumental, almost impossible task lies ahead of them. 01:13:11.300 --> 01:13:15.580 I mean as you approach this defense, you're probably talking among yourself, thinking 01:13:15.580 --> 01:13:19.700 about what are our possible compositions here, how do we want to approach playing against 01:13:19.700 --> 01:13:20.700 this composition. 01:13:20.700 --> 01:13:25.880 almost turns more into a bit of practice here as this Rialto is so very unlikely for Twisted 01:13:25.880 --> 01:13:30.600 Minds to win here. I mean it's such a solid composition because there's so much sustain 01:13:30.600 --> 01:13:38.840 obviously Sigma has this poke tank, the May wars as well, very protective and the Sanctuary 01:13:38.840 --> 01:13:43.520 because of its protective power the way it negates all these portals for so long makes 01:13:43.520 --> 01:13:47.720 it so difficult to fight into and so Twisted Minds forced to look for answers here on how 01:13:47.720 --> 01:13:49.280 how to take down this composition. 01:13:50.440 --> 01:13:52.400 They go at the far once again. 01:13:52.400 --> 01:13:54.120 Lot of value for J-Woo to find in this 01:13:54.120 --> 01:13:55.880 without a hitscan on the opposing side, 01:13:55.880 --> 01:13:57.880 but a quick teleport under ensures Bayes' 01:13:57.880 --> 01:14:01.120 record of a strong position from which to move this payload. 01:14:01.120 --> 01:14:04.360 Just in mind, they really only have one flight. 01:14:04.360 --> 01:14:06.320 No margin for error, no opportunity 01:14:06.320 --> 01:14:09.160 to give up on mistake, Quartz, looking for an early pick 01:14:09.160 --> 01:14:11.440 that could offset some of the pressure on his team. 01:14:11.440 --> 01:14:12.800 I mean, that's what it has to be, right? 01:14:12.800 --> 01:14:14.720 It has to be Quartz opening things up 01:14:14.720 --> 01:14:16.920 with a railgun shot over J-Woo, 01:14:16.920 --> 01:14:18.120 getting some critical rockets. 01:14:18.120 --> 01:14:20.220 Metra to the foot of the gunk from Hissang, and they're flipping the map. 01:14:20.220 --> 01:14:21.040 He's gained! 01:14:21.040 --> 01:14:22.920 Jo-ron, beautiful catch onto Astro. 01:14:22.920 --> 01:14:27.220 Wuxio is down, and so too, the hopes of twisted minds now dwindling. 01:14:27.220 --> 01:14:31.220 Quartz on a sliver of HP grabs the pack, and back into the fight, simple. 01:14:31.220 --> 01:14:34.440 Battling for his life has to teleport over to Quartz, 01:14:34.440 --> 01:14:36.840 needs to keep these players alive, but the cart rolls forward. 01:14:36.840 --> 01:14:39.140 Max does trade out his mech in the process. 01:14:39.140 --> 01:14:40.640 Someone has to touch, though. 01:14:40.640 --> 01:14:43.640 CVN T will do it for now, but Hissang times his man, 01:14:43.640 --> 01:14:46.800 and May steps up on the cart as well, demanding a finish. 01:14:46.800 --> 01:14:50.640 Here on Rialto, Crazy Raccoon will not be denied. 01:14:50.640 --> 01:14:53.200 Nothing left in the tank for Twisted Minds. 01:14:53.200 --> 01:14:55.760 And the two O-Series already on the deck. 01:14:55.760 --> 01:14:56.760 Yeah! 01:14:56.760 --> 01:14:57.760 Yeah! 01:14:57.760 --> 01:14:58.760 Yeah! 01:14:58.760 --> 01:14:59.760 Yeah! 01:14:59.760 --> 01:15:00.760 Yeah! 01:15:00.760 --> 01:15:01.760 Yeah! 01:15:01.760 --> 01:15:02.760 Yeah! 01:15:02.760 --> 01:15:03.760 Absolutely dominant. 01:15:03.760 --> 01:15:07.280 Here on Rialto, Twisted Minds' map pick. 01:15:07.280 --> 01:15:10.600 They come out so strong. 01:15:10.600 --> 01:15:13.080 And this is what I talk about going into the series, Gig. 01:15:13.080 --> 01:15:14.080 Crazy Raccoon. 01:15:14.080 --> 01:15:15.080 They're not messing around. 01:15:15.080 --> 01:15:16.080 They're not playing with Flare. 01:15:16.080 --> 01:15:21.080 They're playing the best compositions in the game, and they're looking to execute perfectly. 01:15:21.080 --> 01:15:23.080 And that's what they did just there. 01:15:23.080 --> 01:15:27.080 Stone faced, twisted minds. Can't blame them. 01:15:27.080 --> 01:15:32.080 But for Max, what a moment, right? For a player who has often been doubted. Let's just come out and say it, right? 01:15:32.080 --> 01:15:36.080 People have said, you know, John Bin, you know, he's the player you want in in these crucial moments. 01:15:36.080 --> 01:15:39.080 Are we sure Max can step up to the plate? 01:15:39.080 --> 01:15:43.080 But he does. 11 and 0, untouchable. 01:15:43.080 --> 01:15:49.100 His ability to never break on that defense secures the map outright. 01:15:49.100 --> 01:15:54.360 Stalker with a masterful hitscan performance behind it, but the ability to go to the may, 01:15:54.360 --> 01:15:58.640 something that very few players of that hitscan caliber would be confident to bring out. 01:15:58.640 --> 01:16:03.600 So Crazy Raccoon doing something that makes them unique, that puts them in a league of their own. 01:16:03.600 --> 01:16:10.400 And you can see they're starting to feel it, starting to feel the chance to knock the world champs to the lower bracket 01:16:10.400 --> 01:16:15.400 With extreme prejudice, I mean this could be a 3-0 against the current world champs. 01:16:15.400 --> 01:16:19.400 Things have already shifted monumentally in the world of Overwatch. 01:16:19.400 --> 01:16:22.400 I mean, they feel like a Terminator squad, they're laughing. 01:16:22.400 --> 01:16:25.400 They're up 2-0, laughing, joking around on stage. 01:16:25.400 --> 01:16:29.400 Just twisted minds, just probably feel completely hopeless after a map like that. 01:16:29.400 --> 01:16:34.400 And like you said about Max, I mean this is Coach Moon who's put a lot of faith into a player like this for many years now. 01:16:34.400 --> 01:16:40.400 They're even doubting Max, questioning the fact that he gets so much playtime over Jönbin at times. 01:16:40.400 --> 01:16:46.400 But this is the perfect kind of composition for a player like him, and combining it with a hyperflex player like Stalker as well. 01:16:46.400 --> 01:16:51.400 Looking so scary, bringing out a composition like this. 01:16:51.400 --> 01:16:53.400 And look, run day two out of three here, Jake. 01:16:53.400 --> 01:16:55.400 It's not like you have a lot of time to prepare accordingly. 01:16:55.400 --> 01:17:00.400 This is an upper bracket matchup, so of course, through the mines, if they lose here, they drop down. 01:17:00.400 --> 01:17:12.400 But if you're looking to win this tournament, not only do you have to figure out the jetpack cat composition, how can we take down the Korean teams playing that, but you also have to figure out this Mizuki composition. What are our answers to something like that? 01:17:13.400 --> 01:17:23.400 Seems like this Mizuki poke caught them completely off guard. You also got to consider the support line for CrazyBakun, a player like Chorong matched up with Vigilani. 01:17:23.400 --> 01:17:27.480 And I mean, Chorong's pedigree as a player, almost unique, right? 01:17:27.480 --> 01:17:31.000 In terms of his winning history on the main support, 01:17:31.000 --> 01:17:33.800 talk about somebody that you want in these clutch moments, 01:17:33.800 --> 01:17:36.240 that you need to shut down a team like Twisted Minds. 01:17:36.240 --> 01:17:38.400 He delivers here on Rialto. 01:17:38.400 --> 01:17:41.880 J-Boo and Quartz have eviscerated many an opponent before this, 01:17:41.880 --> 01:17:46.000 but today, feeling lackluster in a fight like that, 01:17:46.000 --> 01:17:48.500 won by stock, I mean, the pure hitscan duel, right? 01:17:48.500 --> 01:17:51.920 When it goes your way, you really have to start to ask questions. 01:17:51.920 --> 01:17:58.080 It feels a strategic outplay combined with individual excellence and unstoppable combination. 01:17:58.080 --> 01:18:02.480 Yeah, you almost need something drastic in a matchup like this one. 01:18:02.480 --> 01:18:04.440 You're not a tank swap away. 01:18:04.440 --> 01:18:08.760 You're not a hero swap away from breaking down this composition from Krasovakun. 01:18:08.760 --> 01:18:12.640 You're almost thinking like, okay, Tristimus, are we gonna invest in some kind of a Symmetra 01:18:12.640 --> 01:18:13.640 style here? 01:18:13.640 --> 01:18:19.080 Try to flip the composition, flip the position on the map to our advantage because it is 01:18:19.080 --> 01:18:23.080 so groundbreaking that maybe you're considering, you know, you'll be waiting in the mix here. 01:18:25.480 --> 01:18:27.720 Wonder if that style that they practiced. 01:18:29.400 --> 01:18:32.200 But you should be. You're absolutely justified. I mean, 01:18:32.200 --> 01:18:35.880 TM fans around the world are feeling desperate right now. They're feeling the pressure. 01:18:35.880 --> 01:18:40.600 Crazy Raccoon, we're all over them in map two. And even things started to turn on round three 01:18:40.600 --> 01:18:45.640 of Ilios, right? Like 100-zero control round. Also pretty brutal. Maybe an easier one to shrug 01:18:45.640 --> 01:18:51.880 off in a shorter map type, but when you make that kind of a statement defense, that's an 01:18:51.880 --> 01:18:56.680 obliteration. This was the crucial map in the series. This is the map 2. You have your pick 01:18:56.680 --> 01:19:02.440 of the litter. The rest of the pool is available. You control the pan phase as well. And that's 01:19:02.440 --> 01:19:06.360 the best you can do. I mean, questions have to be asked right now for just a minute. They're 01:19:06.360 --> 01:19:10.760 lucky that they find this matchup in the upper bracket because I'm already starting to wonder 01:19:10.760 --> 01:19:13.400 if there's any hope left for them in this series. 01:19:13.400 --> 01:19:16.760 Yeah, this is a lot of information being revealed to either team here. 01:19:16.760 --> 01:19:19.000 So look to get better at this tournament progresses. 01:19:19.000 --> 01:19:20.800 This is usually our go-stick. 01:19:20.800 --> 01:19:23.600 You know, you kick off a tournament, you think composition is meta, 01:19:23.600 --> 01:19:26.000 and then day two, day three, you're starting to get a grip 01:19:26.000 --> 01:19:28.040 of what your opponents are doing. 01:19:28.040 --> 01:19:30.320 What hero composition changes do we need to make 01:19:30.320 --> 01:19:33.920 to put ourselves in a better position to succeed? 01:19:33.920 --> 01:19:36.320 But this is just an absolute game breaker of a composition. 01:19:36.320 --> 01:19:39.480 We got our hands here with the Mizuki. 01:19:39.480 --> 01:19:43.920 Max, dominating on the D.Va and the Sigma so far. 01:19:43.920 --> 01:19:45.040 And so we saw the map pick there. 01:19:45.040 --> 01:19:48.080 It's going to be King's Row here, 4, 2, 7 mines. 01:19:48.080 --> 01:19:49.520 Bastion Band is out of the way. 01:19:49.520 --> 01:19:52.600 You get the opportunity to deny a map like Numbani as well. 01:19:52.600 --> 01:19:55.920 King's Row, makes a lot of sense here, I think. 01:19:55.920 --> 01:19:58.520 I will say the good news, if, as 2, 7 mines, 01:19:58.520 --> 01:20:01.320 if you can get over this hurdle, if you can somehow 01:20:01.320 --> 01:20:04.960 get through King's Row and force a map 4, 01:20:04.960 --> 01:20:07.160 the next two map types push, Flashpoint. 01:20:07.160 --> 01:20:09.440 The map picks aren't that big of a deal, frankly. 01:20:09.440 --> 01:20:16.720 It's not that crazy, not that game-breaking, which of the two you get, I think New Junk CD is quite a bit more enclosed than Suravasa, 01:20:16.720 --> 01:20:22.480 but in the end of the day, Potato Patato, you can still kind of play the comps, you came to play and you came to practice. 01:20:23.200 --> 01:20:29.040 However, I feel like King's Row is a place where the same style we just saw in Rialto is absolutely viable. 01:20:29.840 --> 01:20:32.000 Yeah, and even less room to work around it, right? 01:20:32.240 --> 01:20:35.600 The twisted mines are going to ban the Sinetra actually. 01:20:35.600 --> 01:20:38.880 Kresgerokun decided to get rid of the Juno. 01:20:38.880 --> 01:20:43.240 But to that point, I mean, King's Row, very narrow map, not a lot of room to operate with. 01:20:43.240 --> 01:20:46.600 And so maybe we see J-Woo continue playing the Pharah, for example. 01:20:46.600 --> 01:20:51.240 You want some aerial poke to try to deal with the composition that Kresgerokun are playing here. 01:20:51.240 --> 01:20:53.240 Bastion is going to be available. 01:20:53.240 --> 01:21:00.600 This is going to be Twisted Minds trying to find something that kick-starts the momentum going their way. 01:21:00.600 --> 01:21:06.600 But yes, I think you can very much expect the main Misuga composition to come out once more for Kratos' Raccoon air. 01:21:07.600 --> 01:21:13.600 I feel like now it's DM who have to look at the Cat Bastion as a hopeful option for them, right? 01:21:13.600 --> 01:21:19.600 I mean, Ilios was much more competitive. We saw great play. We are praising Twisted Mice for their ability to go toe-to-toe. 01:21:19.600 --> 01:21:22.600 Maybe a place you need to double down here. 01:21:22.600 --> 01:21:28.600 I mean, this might also be a jetpack Cat Bastion map because there is a lot of aerial verticality on the first point 01:21:28.600 --> 01:21:31.540 point and also the second point you can play above the buildings you know that's why we 01:21:31.540 --> 01:21:35.360 seen some Pharah being played on this map recently on map on the second point because 01:21:35.360 --> 01:21:39.680 you can kind of like hover around the rooftop area get some nice rockets in and so maybe 01:21:39.680 --> 01:21:44.540 the surprise element with Bastion Deadware Cat you can try to do something similar try 01:21:44.540 --> 01:21:49.620 to like play around the main Masuki composition because they don't have a lot of speed going 01:21:49.620 --> 01:21:50.620 their way. 01:21:50.620 --> 01:21:53.580 We'll have to see what Twisted Mind decided to do here but the Symmetra is out of the 01:21:53.580 --> 01:21:58.580 mix the one hero they relied upon secured the world championship in November. 01:21:58.580 --> 01:22:05.700 And for Twisted Minds, for some of these players, for somebody like J-Woo, to be surrounded 01:22:05.700 --> 01:22:12.100 by such veterans with such a wanted pedigree, as the rest of this Twisted Minds squad, incredible 01:22:12.100 --> 01:22:16.060 pressure on him right now. 01:22:16.060 --> 01:22:19.060 They got it locked in. 01:22:19.060 --> 01:22:20.060 Grace Raccoon. 01:22:20.060 --> 01:22:21.060 Uh-oh. 01:22:21.060 --> 01:22:22.060 They're going to run it back. 01:22:22.060 --> 01:22:25.060 I mean, why wouldn't you, right at this moment? 01:22:25.060 --> 01:22:27.660 Can't change the world by following all of them. 01:22:27.660 --> 01:22:29.660 This is tech, right, by the way. 01:22:29.660 --> 01:22:30.660 This is the tech. 01:22:30.660 --> 01:22:32.660 You roll out this way with the Maywall 01:22:32.660 --> 01:22:35.660 so that the enemy never scouts you walking to high ground. 01:22:35.660 --> 01:22:37.660 If you take the conventional staircase, 01:22:37.660 --> 01:22:40.660 you have to show the enemy playing from that spawn 01:22:40.660 --> 01:22:42.660 as J.Woo is almost certainly doing right now. 01:22:42.660 --> 01:22:44.660 But taking this path with the Maywall, 01:22:44.660 --> 01:22:46.660 you're still ready to defend on time, 01:22:46.660 --> 01:22:48.660 but you don't reveal the composition. 01:22:48.660 --> 01:22:50.660 So Twisted Minds still don't know anything yet 01:22:50.660 --> 01:22:51.660 about what they're facing. 01:22:51.660 --> 01:22:53.660 Every detail matters, Jake. 01:22:53.660 --> 01:22:55.660 Every small detail matters. 01:22:55.660 --> 01:22:59.660 Chris Raccoon showcasing Y here. I love it. 01:22:59.660 --> 01:23:03.660 Now they'll see what they're up against. Surely they've discussed this. Surely they've considered it. 01:23:03.660 --> 01:23:09.660 It's going to be the TVNT diva that is their reaction. Big conk down though, puts Bastion in an awkward spot. 01:23:09.660 --> 01:23:11.660 Immediate response though from Chris Raccoon. 01:23:11.660 --> 01:23:13.660 Alright, that's good enough. 01:23:13.660 --> 01:23:15.660 Twisted mines, overwhelming, finding two. 01:23:15.660 --> 01:23:19.660 Rock goes wide for Max and immediately Twisted mines back on the board. 01:23:19.660 --> 01:23:24.660 An explosive attack from Twisted mines securing those picks they couldn't get on Rialto. 01:23:24.660 --> 01:23:27.460 And that's going to be a brilliant first point, Cap, for Tuesday minuses. 01:23:27.460 --> 01:23:29.260 They get the payload rolling here on King's Drow. 01:23:29.260 --> 01:23:33.260 I said much was asked of J.Woo, and he immediately delivers. 01:23:33.260 --> 01:23:37.760 Coming out with a resounding cushion blast from the far off, pushes Stalker out of position. 01:23:37.760 --> 01:23:41.460 I mean, CR are instant with the reaction to try and play through the fight regardless, 01:23:41.460 --> 01:23:43.760 try to help this bastion, but it's not good enough. 01:23:43.760 --> 01:23:48.160 Stalker, preferring the mobility, the dynamism of the Cassidy, makes that swap for second. 01:23:48.160 --> 01:23:51.860 And as they probably look to set up these alternate angles here, J.Woo up top, 01:23:51.860 --> 01:23:54.400 And quartz looking for any kind of 01:23:55.180 --> 01:24:00.620 Sightline to hit one of these wellgun shots a lot of attention should be paid attention to TV and T on the diva here 01:24:00.620 --> 01:24:05.380 It's going to be under pressure from the signal with the accretion browser Chorong with the chains from the missouki 01:24:05.380 --> 01:24:11.780 Oh out of suit out of suit already. That's painful because simple's coming up on the Katsune rush TV and T needs to swap and quick 01:24:12.180 --> 01:24:16.580 They don't want to let vigilante bridge the gap. They were trying to farm that rush as quickly as possible 01:24:17.580 --> 01:24:20.900 But that pick is gonna give a lot of time now for vigilante to 01:24:21.860 --> 01:24:24.300 Match up potentially in the rush in the long fight. 01:24:24.300 --> 01:24:27.780 Max already bites the rock on the Astro without the speed! 01:24:27.780 --> 01:24:29.780 This attack could be neutered! 01:24:29.780 --> 01:24:33.500 And Bidgelanny, 10% of the rush but may not even need it! 01:24:33.500 --> 01:24:35.500 I mean that's massive. They just back off. 01:24:35.500 --> 01:24:37.940 And now, this is just as good as it was though. J. Woodall! 01:24:37.940 --> 01:24:38.940 Deals for off! 01:24:38.940 --> 01:24:43.820 Over the top, unexpected shuts down Stalker, but it costs TD&T his life, assisting the play. 01:24:43.820 --> 01:24:48.380 Max now, looking for the clean up, he's saying Bidgelanny, find their mark in the fight. 01:24:48.380 --> 01:24:55.120 It's a long walk back for Stalker, but still the remaining four have proven themselves to be formidable in these choke points 01:24:55.820 --> 01:25:02.500 Again, this is twisted mines. They're making placers, J. Wussup's over to the tracer temporarily here. A lot of ultimates for the vote on Kresh Raccoon 01:25:02.500 --> 01:25:07.900 This is a five twisted mines without some of their own. Should look to drain the ultimate economy with Kresh Raccoon here 01:25:08.500 --> 01:25:13.700 CR wisely waiting for Stalker. They know where their bread is buttered. Now they step up with the maywall onto point court 01:25:13.700 --> 01:25:15.700 Stands tall in a risky position 01:25:16.020 --> 01:25:20.260 Fox comes out really find the lift only under the Kirikou, but stalker swings into the room 01:25:20.420 --> 01:25:28.180 Cleans up to looking for more in the fight.

They do not need the defense, they swarm forward, cleaning these attackers off of the map. 01:26:03.220 --> 01:26:09.220 Another fight where Chris Raccoon just invested one ultimate, and that pick is enough to turn the tide. 01:26:09.220 --> 01:26:14.220 But they can push up, secure the remaining frags, and drain some time off this time bank. 01:26:14.220 --> 01:26:18.220 Just in mind, they're going to get back into this one with double support ultimate. 01:26:18.220 --> 01:26:21.220 But they need to secure some value to get this payload rolling at this time. 01:26:21.220 --> 01:26:26.220 Three minutes on the clock, the explosive attack on the first was bought in a lot of margin in this fight. 01:26:26.220 --> 01:26:29.220 Rush is now exchanged, Spocker already finds Astro. 01:26:29.220 --> 01:26:32.220 And the TBNT has to drop the suit. 01:26:32.220 --> 01:26:35.220 J-Woo, though, finds one kill. Will it be enough leads yet more? 01:26:35.220 --> 01:26:39.180 more the Blizzard after me saying provides a powerful base from which to 01:26:39.180 --> 01:26:43.500 fight the wall denies the support from court and jaywoo just out of gas in the 01:26:43.500 --> 01:26:48.860 back crazy raccoon unstoppable in the brawl I'm not losing my mind right that 01:26:48.860 --> 01:26:52.940 was an Ajax I think so that was an Ajax I'm not losing my mind right 8% of 01:26:52.940 --> 01:26:58.060 course built up over time but losing that sunbear is just absolutely 01:26:58.060 --> 01:27:01.740 devastating it twisted minds no support of us online anymore than Chris 01:27:01.740 --> 01:27:04.780 Raccoon continuing to dominate on this defense. 01:27:04.780 --> 01:27:07.940 The Remacha could change things, needs to. 01:27:07.940 --> 01:27:10.780 A chain denies TVNT his preferred retreat, 01:27:10.780 --> 01:27:13.260 stalking with the powers that takes down Simple. 01:27:13.260 --> 01:27:16.220 TVNT fighting, trying to brawl, but it feels desperate. 01:27:16.220 --> 01:27:19.620 It feels minimal flux, held for max. 01:27:19.620 --> 01:27:21.460 And just two minutes remain. 01:27:21.460 --> 01:27:23.700 In the last three, it seems that Twisted Minds 01:27:23.700 --> 01:27:26.020 have not made more than a few meters of progress. 01:27:26.020 --> 01:27:29.860 Crazy Raccoon barreling towards a 3-0 finish in this series. 01:27:29.860 --> 01:27:31.860 I feel like it's 2024 again. 01:27:31.860 --> 01:27:35.860 This is the crazy raccoon that was dominating globally. 01:27:35.860 --> 01:27:38.140 One of the best teams in the world. 01:27:38.140 --> 01:27:41.380 And now the way they're dealing with the reigning world champions, 01:27:41.380 --> 01:27:43.100 it's just unbelievable. 01:27:43.100 --> 01:27:45.140 A minute 40 on the timer here, four twists and mines. 01:27:45.140 --> 01:27:46.420 As they look to wrap around, 01:27:46.420 --> 01:27:48.780 Forts has the overclock here. 01:27:48.780 --> 01:27:50.980 But what hopes do you have to find picks, 01:27:50.980 --> 01:27:52.700 I guess, a composition like the May Sigma? 01:27:52.700 --> 01:27:55.580 What a world we find ourselves in where the Forts overclock. 01:27:55.580 --> 01:27:56.980 No longer something to be here. 01:27:56.980 --> 01:27:58.300 Forts, he's dying. 01:27:58.300 --> 01:28:01.260 Just too sharp on the cast, Lucio cannot get away, 01:28:01.260 --> 01:28:04.260 TVNC finds one, it's something to hope for. 01:28:04.260 --> 01:28:05.620 May stays alive through the flux, 01:28:05.620 --> 01:28:06.900 and then finally an opportunity. 01:28:06.900 --> 01:28:08.380 Here comes the OC from court, 01:28:08.380 --> 01:28:09.860 desperate to find an opportunity 01:28:09.860 --> 01:28:12.780 for the team to believe Stalker dies him, 01:28:12.780 --> 01:28:15.780 swings deep into the flank, and takes them all. 01:28:15.780 --> 01:28:18.500 They are unbreakable, Quasaracun, 01:28:18.500 --> 01:28:21.020 that disengages are perfect and re-engage 01:28:21.020 --> 01:28:22.900 to make things difficult for Twist in Mind, 01:28:22.900 --> 01:28:25.300 Stalker, with an unbelievable performance 01:28:25.300 --> 01:28:27.300 on the cast to be so far. 01:28:27.300 --> 01:28:29.300 And they've held their second point now for what? 01:28:29.300 --> 01:28:31.500 Five, six minutes? 01:28:31.500 --> 01:28:33.420 Absolutely devastating. 01:28:33.420 --> 01:28:34.740 Soccer sees them coming. 01:28:34.740 --> 01:28:37.620 No question about the approach that Fortress had mined. 01:28:37.620 --> 01:28:39.900 He's saying the blizzard could be devastating. 01:28:39.900 --> 01:28:41.140 J-Boo over the main sub. 01:28:41.140 --> 01:28:42.460 Will it be enough or no? 01:28:42.460 --> 01:28:46.060 Oh, every single time you step up to the plate 01:28:46.060 --> 01:28:48.660 you're battered back and he walks forward. 01:28:48.660 --> 01:28:49.700 Sights on Fonny Astro. 01:28:49.700 --> 01:28:51.860 Look, Herb, one and he swings. 01:28:51.860 --> 01:28:54.020 J-Boo is down as well. 01:28:54.020 --> 01:28:56.620 And so too, to the hopes of twisted minds 01:28:56.620 --> 01:29:01.180 Crumbling down minutes since they've last made meaningful progress on this map 01:29:02.780 --> 01:29:09.900 Grace welcome crushing the hopes of EMEA as they look to reclaim their crown this weekend here at the champions class 01:29:09.900 --> 01:29:15.640 Tristan Mines going to have one more engage funny Astro.

Jay will coming up on that blizzard 01:29:15.820 --> 01:29:20.580 This needs to be the fight blizzard is perfect friends comes out it buys even tea a little bit of time 01:29:20.580 --> 01:29:22.580 But he's still frozen once again 01:29:22.580 --> 01:29:25.580 Stop follow-up is good, now stalker with a high number of quads in the corner! 01:29:25.580 --> 01:29:32.580 Hold on! Something to fight for in the overtime! Desperation strike! And twisted minds come up for air! 01:29:33.580 --> 01:29:39.580 That's going to be the payload continued to push here and overtime spawns here for Kraserakun 01:29:39.580 --> 01:29:43.580 with limited movement speed to get back into this fight. 01:29:44.580 --> 01:29:48.580 It's a good point, Johnny. One of the weaknesses of this comp is the rollout is incredibly slow. 01:29:48.580 --> 01:29:55.860 No real movement abilities across essentially the entire team when it comes to desperation recontest, but they've hold held so well 01:29:55.860 --> 01:29:59.500 I think they will have time he's back already forced the ice block though 01:29:59.500 --> 01:30:02.060 It's gonna be hard to touch max is gonna have to do the honors 01:30:02.060 --> 01:30:08.260 I'm way well buys a little bit of space for them to do so looking to find this high noon first zones away the backline 01:30:08.260 --> 01:30:10.260 Quartz out of the fight 01:30:10.260 --> 01:30:12.060 Max Fluxier could be devastating. 01:30:12.060 --> 01:30:13.620 Oh, it's a big lift onto the net. 01:30:13.620 --> 01:30:15.460 Oh, the point! 01:30:15.460 --> 01:30:17.780 A beautiful force to nine. 01:30:17.780 --> 01:30:22.300 And Max shuts them down at the second hurdle. 01:30:22.300 --> 01:30:25.580 So much hope on the back of that first fight 01:30:25.580 --> 01:30:26.540 from Twisted Minds. 01:30:26.540 --> 01:30:28.660 And now, where has it gone? 01:30:31.460 --> 01:30:32.340 There I say, Jake. 01:30:32.340 --> 01:30:34.020 I feel like Twisted Minds. 01:30:34.020 --> 01:30:35.820 This composition has really stumped them. 01:30:35.820 --> 01:30:37.420 They're not playing the normal selves, 01:30:37.420 --> 01:30:39.580 because typically, a Flux in overtime. 01:30:39.580 --> 01:30:44.240 It's obvious that you need to recontest the payload as two people go into the sky. 01:30:44.240 --> 01:30:46.840 But Twisted Minds, they're paying a little scarder. 01:30:46.840 --> 01:30:51.060 Have a lot to think about facing this composition that they're perhaps not used to. 01:30:51.060 --> 01:30:54.420 And that forces an error like that. 01:30:54.420 --> 01:30:56.860 And overtime dissipates very quickly. 01:30:56.860 --> 01:31:02.340 That's a brutal thing. I mean, in a long overtime like that, the game ends so quickly lifted off that payload. 01:31:02.340 --> 01:31:09.800 Crazy Raccoon presenting an as-yet-unsolvable problem to Twisted Minds, we're gonna go back 01:31:09.800 --> 01:31:15.400 to the well with a tried-and-true style for them, but will it be enough to win the day? 01:31:15.400 --> 01:31:19.880 So far, nothing has really moved the needle, I mean, the fights they have won, been on 01:31:19.880 --> 01:31:24.680 the back of individual plays, but it just doesn't feel reliable or consistent against 01:31:24.680 --> 01:31:26.840 the Phalanx the Crazy Raccoon are presenting. 01:31:26.840 --> 01:31:31.920 I feel like at the World Finals when Twisted Minds did claim that crown, there were putting 01:31:31.920 --> 01:31:35.100 Even Chris Raccoon team falters in an uncomfortable spot. 01:31:35.100 --> 01:31:38.800 That time it was the Korean teams who felt like they were perhaps on the back foot, their 01:31:38.800 --> 01:31:42.660 rotations weren't on point, their support ultimates were a little bit scattered and 01:31:42.660 --> 01:31:45.720 not securing the ultimate value they required. 01:31:45.720 --> 01:31:48.200 And you can so clearly see Twisted Minds here. 01:31:48.200 --> 01:31:51.920 They're the ones who are struggling to execute in these teamfights. 01:31:51.920 --> 01:31:56.840 They are on the back foot now, trying to adapt when Chris Raccoon are bringing it away. 01:31:56.840 --> 01:32:02.780 has to rise up a hero for Twisted Minds to slow things down, but Stalker almost uncontested 01:32:02.780 --> 01:32:07.580 here swings wide. They take the defender position already, Twisted Minds on the back foot desperate 01:32:07.580 --> 01:32:12.620 to hold on to this point. TBNT rocked on his heels. Stalker looking for any opportunity 01:32:12.620 --> 01:32:18.300 to punish. TBNT already out of the suit, tanked out from back, bleeds up the opposition and 01:32:18.300 --> 01:32:23.340 Twisted Minds on their heels. No one able to stand to contest. The feed fills with orange. 01:32:23.340 --> 01:32:29.260 The whole Twisted Minds dashed on the rocks as Jo-Rong looks to finish the much-bonded 01:32:29.260 --> 01:32:32.220 DPS2O of these world champions. 01:32:32.220 --> 01:32:37.460 I mean Twisted Minds historically never relied on that D.Va play so much, but with the Mizuki 01:32:37.460 --> 01:32:39.060 added into the mix here. 01:32:39.060 --> 01:32:43.620 One of the first times really seeing Mizuki get a lot of value in a composition since 01:32:43.620 --> 01:32:48.860 the heroes release, but it puts so much pressure onto the D.Va in a situation like that, TVNT, 01:32:48.860 --> 01:32:52.580 can't escape with the flight from the mech. 01:32:52.580 --> 01:32:56.500 Stalker's Bastion could be devastating here. 01:32:56.500 --> 01:32:57.420 Incredibly hard. 01:32:57.420 --> 01:33:00.220 One Sigma stun could be more than enough. 01:33:00.220 --> 01:33:04.740 Even grabs that aura out of the air. 01:33:04.740 --> 01:33:07.660 And with the form, TVNT, defensive, fully backing, 01:33:07.660 --> 01:33:10.380 the rock, the finish is good, simple, finds one, 01:33:10.380 --> 01:33:12.140 but not nearly enough. 01:33:12.140 --> 01:33:14.260 Stalker and Heesang stacking this payload, 01:33:14.260 --> 01:33:18.260 moving it towards it's now seeming inevitable finish. 01:33:18.260 --> 01:33:19.740 And with five minutes on the clock, 01:33:19.740 --> 01:33:24.180 This feels impossible as this a fee and effort asked here of Twisted Minds. 01:33:24.980 --> 01:33:26.580 I mean, this is an unbreakable object. 01:33:27.020 --> 01:33:29.780 There's so much to stay in for the Crazy Raccoon and Twisted Minds. 01:33:29.780 --> 01:33:32.380 They're trying to poke and paw, they're trying to set up these angles, but... 01:33:33.100 --> 01:33:35.060 They're just not finding the picks required. 01:33:35.060 --> 01:33:38.820 J-Woo set up the flank angle here and he's got a post bomb in hand slot. 01:33:39.020 --> 01:33:41.900 The Ultimates from Crazy Raccoon, they're looking to close things out here, Jake. 01:33:41.980 --> 01:33:45.020 Already the rush now, puts Twisted Minds back. 01:33:45.260 --> 01:33:47.540 They're trying to bunker, staying alive, biting their time. 01:33:47.700 --> 01:33:49.220 Why is we getting this first Ultimate out? 01:33:49.220 --> 01:33:53.380 Now some of the Russians they're on the sanctuary though, allowing Crazy Raccoon to stand tall. 01:33:53.380 --> 01:33:56.720 He and T-Drop inside the rush behind him is out from courts. 01:33:56.720 --> 01:34:00.040 sanctuary protects though and stalker bleeds house. 01:34:00.040 --> 01:34:01.400 Regal off from J-Boo, 01:34:01.400 --> 01:34:02.720 very little gas in the tank, 01:34:02.720 --> 01:34:03.880 artillery from Bastion, 01:34:03.880 --> 01:34:04.520 seals, 01:34:04.520 --> 01:34:05.020 deal, 01:34:05.020 --> 01:34:08.840 and Crazy Raccoon do it and freeze in Tokyo. 01:34:11.960 --> 01:34:13.960 Are you kidding me? 01:34:13.960 --> 01:34:18.680 We came into this first match of the day hoping for a banger, 01:34:18.680 --> 01:34:23.160 A barn burner that perhaps set the pace for the rest of the tournament. 01:34:23.160 --> 01:34:27.800 EMEA staying competitive with the Korean teams, but that was not the case. 01:34:27.800 --> 01:34:32.680 That was all the crazy raccoon after a pretty close elios to keep things off for us. 01:34:32.680 --> 01:34:34.800 We escorted the hybrid maps. 01:34:34.800 --> 01:34:40.360 EMEA had nothing to show for and crazy raccoon now looked like the clear cut favors in this 01:34:40.360 --> 01:34:45.640 tournament alongside the Korean friends in set of the division. 01:34:45.640 --> 01:34:51.000 deserve round of applause for the crazy raccoon team. It's their turn to innovate. It's their turn 01:34:51.000 --> 01:34:57.320 to present, as you said, an unsolvable problem to the EMEA teams. And now it feels almost destiny 01:34:57.320 --> 01:35:02.200 that it'll be one of our teams from Asia, one of our Japanese oars here to lift the trophy 01:35:02.840 --> 01:35:07.960 in Tokyo. Few opportunities left, right? If twisted minds go down like this, who else could hold a 01:35:07.960 --> 01:35:13.240 cannibal to crazy raccoon but maybe Zeta Division? That was the best shot. That was the best shot 01:35:13.240 --> 01:35:19.240 North America and EMEA had to stay competitive with Korea here, but that was so one-sided, Jake. 01:35:19.240 --> 01:35:21.240 And I'm out of ideas. I think we're just in my seat. 01:35:21.240 --> 01:35:24.240 Like, what can you realistically do? Like, the farra from J-Woo, you know, 01:35:24.240 --> 01:35:28.240 you realistically should be a good hero to poke in prod against a hero like Mei, like Sigma. 01:35:28.240 --> 01:35:33.240 But it's just not enough room to really navigate and secure those picks in the end. 01:35:33.240 --> 01:35:37.240 And I thought Kraserakun did a fantastic job with that aura healing from Dimsuki to stay alive 01:35:37.240 --> 01:35:40.240 and buy enough time to turn things with Stalker's Casterly. 01:35:40.240 --> 01:35:42.200 and the flex picks from Hiseng and Stalker. 01:35:42.200 --> 01:35:45.160 I mean, throwing these ideas like flex and hitscan to the wind, right? 01:35:45.160 --> 01:35:48.320 They're really just willing to play whatever is asked of them. 01:35:48.760 --> 01:35:49.960 We're going to go down to the stage. 01:35:49.960 --> 01:35:53.840 We've got an interview with Choron to see how they're feeling about this incredible win. 01:35:54.000 --> 01:35:56.640 Choron, congratulations on getting the win. 01:35:56.640 --> 01:35:59.040 Choron, congratulations on getting the win. 01:35:59.040 --> 01:36:00.800 Congratulations on winning the game. 01:36:01.800 --> 01:36:02.800 Hello. 01:36:05.120 --> 01:36:06.760 Choron, congratulations on getting the win. 01:36:06.760 --> 01:36:09.200 I want to start off this interview by asking you about, 01:36:09.200 --> 01:36:15.200 I guess CR's composition. I feel like in this champions class, Crazy Raccoon have been using a lot of Mizuki. 01:36:15.200 --> 01:36:20.200 Is there a special reason as to why you guys are sort of using a lot more Mizuki here? 01:37:09.200 --> 01:37:13.680 belt, whether it's the Cap Bastion or the Lucio Kiriko, 01:37:13.680 --> 01:37:15.640 we have mastered a lot of different composition 01:37:15.640 --> 01:37:17.600 for a lot of different scenarios. 01:37:17.600 --> 01:37:19.720 So that's why I think we are utilizing more 01:37:19.720 --> 01:37:23.760 so that our opponent would have to have a harder time going 01:37:23.760 --> 01:37:25.240 up against us. 01:37:25.240 --> 01:37:32.640 As a CR, there are a lot of different features in the cat bus and the Kiriko Lusio, 01:37:32.640 --> 01:37:40.640 so I'm thinking of using a variety of features so that other teams can't do anything about it. 01:37:40.640 --> 01:37:47.640 And also, I feel like it is safe to say that Crazy Raccoon is probably one of the best teams in Champions Clash, so my second question is pretty simple. 01:37:47.640 --> 01:37:52.640 Why do you think CR is so good? What makes Crazy Raccoon so special? 01:37:52.640 --> 01:38:02.640 And with this victory, CR will be able to continue with a very strong team in this Champions League. 01:38:02.640 --> 01:38:08.640 So, is there a reason for CR's strength? 01:38:08.640 --> 01:38:19.640 If there is a reason for CR's strength, is there anything special about it? 01:38:19.640 --> 01:38:45.640 I think the key to our strength would have to be me. I play a lot of different heroes, I have a deep hero pool, and I think that makes a lot of the other teams have a more difficult time. I think it's pretty cute. 01:38:49.640 --> 01:38:54.640 I think I'm the strongest of the CRs. 01:38:54.640 --> 01:39:02.640 I can use a lot of heroes, and I think it's quite powerful, and it's cuter than anything else. 01:39:02.640 --> 01:39:06.640 That's one of the reasons. 01:39:10.640 --> 01:39:13.640 Thank you so much, Shoryun! Thank you very much! 01:39:13.640 --> 01:39:15.640 Thank you very much! 01:39:15.640 --> 01:39:18.640 Now, let's take a look at the game. 01:39:19.640 --> 01:39:24.760 at the bracket, see just what crazy Raccoon have won, a birth into the upper final 01:39:25.480 --> 01:39:28.680 and an incredible head of steam, you can hear from Trollhagen in that interview, he's dealing 01:39:28.680 --> 01:39:33.960 on himself, he can smell and taste the championship here in Champions Clash. Yeah, the confidence is 01:39:33.960 --> 01:39:38.520 oozing, as we're going to get a matchup of Virtus.Pro and Sett of Division coming up next here to see 01:39:38.520 --> 01:39:42.600 who will face Priest Raccoon in the upper bracket final, but as we take a look at the lowers as 01:39:42.600 --> 01:39:46.840 well, Twisted Minds, Dyn-Moded, and the bracket flips there of course, and so you're going to see 01:39:46.840 --> 01:39:50.520 see them end up against Weybergaming in a lowers match later on today. 01:39:50.520 --> 01:39:55.240 Battle of wounded pride right there, twisted minds, the current world champs still, current 01:39:55.240 --> 01:39:58.240 world champs, but it doesn't feel like it after that match in the number one seed from 01:39:58.240 --> 01:40:03.520 China in an elimination game, but that's just how it goes, we've got to crown a world champion 01:40:03.520 --> 01:40:04.520 here in Tokyo. 01:40:04.520 --> 01:40:08.720 Guys, we've got incredible matches all day, huge impact, got to see which teams can make 01:40:08.720 --> 01:40:12.120 it to the top, but what's all coming at you right after the short break. 01:40:12.120 --> 01:40:17.380 Start your climb to OWCS with FACED LEAGUE. 01:40:17.380 --> 01:40:21.940 Compete for $50,000 every season to sustain your team's competitive journey. 01:40:21.940 --> 01:40:26.220 Progress through skilled balance divisions until you hit the Master Finals broadcast 01:40:26.220 --> 01:40:28.460 and get scouted by the best teams. 01:40:28.460 --> 01:40:33.740 Your climb to OWCS starts here at joininfce.gg slash FACED LEAGUE. 01:40:33.740 --> 01:40:37.180 Hey guys, Adrol here with Lang Sir for the exit interview. 01:40:37.180 --> 01:40:39.820 All gamers unfortunately being eliminated today. 01:40:39.820 --> 01:40:43.220 I just wanted to ask you, despite being eliminated today, 01:40:43.220 --> 01:40:47.220 what kind of lessons did you learn in the Tournament for the Japanese Clash? 01:40:47.220 --> 01:40:53.220 Today, we were eliminated, but what did you learn in this competition? 01:40:53.220 --> 01:40:57.220 Because we have a lot of newcomers in our team, 01:40:57.220 --> 01:41:00.220 so we didn't have enough time to practice, 01:41:00.220 --> 01:41:04.220 and we didn't have enough time to practice for a long time. 01:41:04.220 --> 01:41:08.980 I think we can give more time for the competition. 01:41:34.220 --> 01:41:36.220 to sort of catch up and improve. 01:41:36.220 --> 01:41:44.220 Do you think that China's team needs to do some progress in the finals? 01:41:44.220 --> 01:41:55.220 I think we need more practice and more players to join us. 01:41:55.220 --> 01:42:06.220 We'll need more time, a lot more time to practice, and more importantly, we need probably more players getting to the competitive side to potentially become new pro players. 01:42:07.220 --> 01:42:14.220 So, my final question to you. Now that you guys have it eliminated, is there anything else you still want to do in Japan? 01:42:14.220 --> 01:42:18.220 What do you want to do in Japan first? 01:42:20.220 --> 01:42:27.220 First of all, we will learn some things from the later games. 01:42:27.220 --> 01:42:32.220 Then we will go back to find some points. 01:42:44.220 --> 01:42:45.780 Well, thank you so much, Langston. 01:42:45.780 --> 01:42:46.300 Thanks so much. 01:42:46.300 --> 01:42:46.800 See you. 01:42:46.800 --> 01:42:47.300 See you. 01:42:47.300 --> 01:42:47.800 See you. 01:42:47.800 --> 01:43:15.800 Music 01:43:15.800 --> 01:43:22.800 Welcome back everyone, and just like that we have our first winners finalist in Crazy Raccoon. 01:43:22.800 --> 01:43:25.800 So pretty much like we all expected here at the back. 01:43:25.800 --> 01:43:27.800 I think Ash had tea, right? 01:43:27.800 --> 01:43:29.800 Yeah, you did not fall around like that. That's crazy. 01:43:29.800 --> 01:43:31.800 Am I getting gas there right now? 01:43:31.800 --> 01:43:32.800 Potentially. 01:43:32.800 --> 01:43:34.800 No, I mean, me and Sally were wrong. 01:43:34.800 --> 01:43:37.800 The important thing is to be aware of the situation, Ash. 01:43:37.800 --> 01:43:38.800 So I think that step one. 01:43:38.800 --> 01:43:39.800 Awareness is key. 01:43:39.800 --> 01:43:41.800 Exactly, awareness is key. 01:43:41.800 --> 01:43:49.160 Well, we're not definitely aware that crazy raccoon are just that good quite frankly. This was anti climatic 01:43:49.760 --> 01:43:54.600 After especially after Elias like initially the first two rounds were so close 01:43:54.600 --> 01:44:03.840 And they both played the jetpack cat and the passion both look good both first two rounds went like into like almost a hundred versus a hundred 01:44:03.880 --> 01:44:06.900 Right so like everything was looked so close 01:44:11.800 --> 01:44:13.800 happened, but it was so quick 01:44:13.800 --> 01:44:15.800 that you barely know that it even 01:44:15.800 --> 01:44:17.800 happened. Yeah, I feel like the 01:44:17.800 --> 01:44:19.800 turning point was also when we 01:44:19.800 --> 01:44:21.800 saw the pit from the honor onto 01:44:21.800 --> 01:44:23.800 the Kyrie Co. That was where we 01:44:23.800 --> 01:44:25.800 really saw like the more the 01:44:25.800 --> 01:44:27.800 survivability there for for 01:44:27.800 --> 01:44:29.800 vigilante. And then overall, I 01:44:29.800 --> 01:44:31.800 think that's on the side of of 01:44:31.800 --> 01:44:33.800 CR. It was just really clean. 01:44:33.800 --> 01:44:35.800 Let's be honest. You got to give 01:44:35.800 --> 01:44:37.800 credit to TM, though. I think 01:44:37.800 --> 01:44:39.800 last time we saw them on the cat 01:44:39.800 --> 01:44:54.800 I don't know if that was necessarily because of the Cassidy band that came through or if they're trying to hide it yesterday. I was impressed with how they were, you know, managing that in the first two rounds of Ilias, but you could definitely tell there was discomfort. 01:44:54.800 --> 01:44:59.600 worry I would have for TM for the remainder of like the kind of tournament and I think they'll 01:44:59.600 --> 01:45:04.560 I would find it hard to believe they don't like just kind of like lose the next match but like maybe 01:45:04.560 --> 01:45:08.880 they could because like a lot of the series like they didn't really kind of play a lot of the 01:45:08.880 --> 01:45:13.680 Capashians right like they lost to CR when CR was playing you know a lot of these Mizuki 01:45:13.680 --> 01:45:17.200 comps that we thought were a troll yesterday may not actually be I know with the May it's like 01:45:17.200 --> 01:45:21.200 This one is still out for debate. We don't know. 01:45:21.200 --> 01:45:24.200 We just don't know. I'm not quite bought. 01:45:24.200 --> 01:45:26.200 Let's take a look at the bracket. 01:45:26.200 --> 01:45:32.200 Obviously this was probably the toughest opponent right behind the CETA division that TM could have faced. 01:45:32.200 --> 01:45:35.200 Now in the normal bracket, they will be going up against Weibo Gaming. 01:45:35.200 --> 01:45:42.200 They looked for mid-ball against the second seed in China, even when they had to go up against the Cat Bastion. 01:45:42.200 --> 01:45:49.080 So I low key expect to survive to have a much easier time against Wabo. Yeah, I definitely got to agree with you on that 01:45:49.080 --> 01:45:52.520 It's gonna be a different level of opponent heading into that lower bracket 01:45:52.520 --> 01:45:57.220 And it's gonna be about being able to brush off this match up the heading into lowers later on today 01:45:57.220 --> 01:45:59.220 That game's got some silly potential in it 01:46:02.840 --> 01:46:06.840 With this like you know like is what way bow we saw them play some cat fashion 01:46:06.840 --> 01:46:11.560 It didn't look that great like this team go back and play it do they really kind of commit to something else 01:46:11.560 --> 01:46:13.560 I also think that series could get a little wild 01:46:13.900 --> 01:46:18.240 Well, we'll find out very soon because we have quite a few matches to go through today 01:46:18.240 --> 01:46:21.480 Of course, we still have a second match in our upward bracket 01:46:21.480 --> 01:46:25.660 This one is going to be Sada versus VP quite frankly when I looked at the schedule this morning 01:46:25.660 --> 01:46:30.320 I was like who that first one is gonna be so close the second one has potential to be not that now the first one was 01:46:30.720 --> 01:46:32.720 not that close 01:46:33.040 --> 01:46:35.040 So 01:46:37.080 --> 01:46:39.400 You're a fan of the Korean team, I think you're really damn 01:46:41.560 --> 01:46:44.960 speedrunning content. If you 01:46:44.960 --> 01:46:46.960 made plans for the rest of 01:46:46.960 --> 01:46:48.960 the day, you are you're good. 01:46:48.960 --> 01:46:50.960 Honestly, you're good. Let's 01:46:50.960 --> 01:46:52.960 talk about the teams though, 01:46:52.960 --> 01:46:54.960 right? Starting with VP. I 01:46:54.960 --> 01:46:56.960 think they surprised a lot of 01:46:56.960 --> 01:46:58.960 people. We didn't expect them 01:46:58.960 --> 01:47:00.960 to play quite that dominant. 01:47:00.960 --> 01:47:02.960 Uh, minus Numbani, but other 01:47:02.960 --> 01:47:04.960 than that, like, why have we 01:47:04.960 --> 01:47:06.960 learned what's the biggest 01:47:06.960 --> 01:47:08.960 takeaway from Virtus Pro in 01:47:08.960 --> 01:47:10.960 their first series yesterday? 01:47:10.960 --> 01:47:16.080 So the positives here for Virtus Pro, if you were to make an argument for VP, right, is 01:47:16.080 --> 01:47:19.760 like, you know, Landon and Psycho have this, like, really, you know, they've done really 01:47:19.760 --> 01:47:23.600 well at international events over the last two years, right, you get Kib back on Land, 01:47:23.600 --> 01:47:26.360 like, fixes playing pretty well. 01:47:26.360 --> 01:47:28.360 It's just a really difficult opponent, though. 01:47:28.360 --> 01:47:31.480 I mean, the V-Tump is the opponent they can draw in the field. 01:47:31.480 --> 01:47:35.600 I mean, it doesn't matter how much Landon will potentially have, but when you're going 01:47:35.600 --> 01:47:37.480 up against a team like Zeta Division. 01:47:37.480 --> 01:47:40.680 Yeah, I think they would have preferred to face them in the first two, too. 01:47:40.680 --> 01:47:47.480 Yeah, generally like this first three like they can't really do the same things that we saw them doing earlier on yesterday 01:47:47.720 --> 01:47:54.440 They were able to not use up the bands in the first map or win it out regardless and then they did come in with 01:47:54.760 --> 01:47:58.200 I think the bashing burn it was on map two and of course in the first two three 01:47:59.080 --> 01:48:03.480 What else can they pull out of the back? I think you're just going to see those bands coming out a bit earlier 01:48:03.560 --> 01:48:08.360 I feel like that's a lesson that can be learned and even taken away from this last series with tm versus crazy raccoons 01:48:08.360 --> 01:48:13.000 It felt like they were holding on to some of those cat bastion bands into a little bit later in the series 01:48:13.000 --> 01:48:16.740 That we expected to maybe come out but VP also we saw them play the cat bastion 01:48:16.740 --> 01:48:22.340 So maybe they don't really feel like they need to ban it like I think at least they can try and see like what level they're at 01:48:22.340 --> 01:48:27.080 Maybe like in an early map and then kind of go from there in terms of what they decide. Yeah 01:48:28.040 --> 01:48:32.620 Yeah, are you like really far away or are we like we're a fight the true way? 01:48:33.940 --> 01:48:37.660 Intensive properties, so I see like how do VP stack up against TM 01:48:37.660 --> 01:48:39.660 How does TM stack up against Crazy Raccoon? 01:48:39.660 --> 01:48:41.660 How does Crazy Raccoon stack up against Zeta? 01:48:41.660 --> 01:48:46.660 So Zeta seems to be at the top of the food chain here in our little circle of misery. 01:48:46.660 --> 01:48:51.660 But comparing VP to TM in what we saw on EMEA in Stage 1, 01:48:51.660 --> 01:48:53.660 it looks like a completely different game than it is. 01:48:53.660 --> 01:48:54.660 True, it is. 01:48:54.660 --> 01:48:56.660 But I do get paid to make some points here on the desk, 01:48:56.660 --> 01:48:59.660 so I'm fully committed to my draft right now. 01:48:59.660 --> 01:49:01.660 Let's talk about Zeta though. 01:49:01.660 --> 01:49:04.660 Thank you so much, that's why I get paid to make the medium bucks. 01:49:04.660 --> 01:49:06.660 Let's talk about Zeta Division. 01:49:06.660 --> 01:49:13.460 We hailed this team as the team to win it all they have been so very dominant in the entire regular season and 01:49:13.860 --> 01:49:18.260 While the playoffs for them in their region was a very close one against crazy raccoon 01:49:18.860 --> 01:49:25.240 They are just like they're just stacked top to bottom. They've not shown us any they're not really shown as anything 01:49:25.240 --> 01:49:28.540 I don't know if a half the comps they played so far have even been real 01:49:29.040 --> 01:49:30.420 Okay, you say that yet 01:49:30.420 --> 01:49:35.260 So they pulled out the Mizuki to like maybe the Korean teams just know something is that the red direction? 01:49:35.260 --> 01:49:37.900 we're going in with the rework that happens with Ultimate. 01:49:37.900 --> 01:49:41.260 He's riding back in the legs. 01:49:41.260 --> 01:49:43.980 Hey, we saw him riding mirrors yesterday. 01:49:43.980 --> 01:49:45.540 Everything is kind of on the table. 01:49:45.540 --> 01:49:48.460 I mean, Zeta, the roster is just so filthy 01:49:48.460 --> 01:49:50.780 that it could have been a little bit of shenanigans 01:49:50.780 --> 01:49:51.380 yesterday. 01:49:51.380 --> 01:49:56.060 Where I don't think they'll play for real against VP, I think. 01:49:56.060 --> 01:49:58.420 But a lot of those weird comps are kind of talking about. 01:49:58.420 --> 01:49:59.180 They make work. 01:49:59.180 --> 01:50:00.820 Like, it doesn't really matter. 01:50:00.820 --> 01:50:03.460 That's why we don't know if it's a weird comp or if they're 01:50:03.460 --> 01:50:03.960 serious. 01:50:03.960 --> 01:50:08.760 Just like will we see the Mizuki head to head with it data versus CR later on? Yeah 01:50:08.760 --> 01:50:14.280 We're gonna get the stats in for that one as well. I have a misukas like probably one of the highest win percentages 01:50:19.720 --> 01:50:24.240 Again something we get paid for so it is what it is. What do you think it's win percentage is about like it's like 01:50:28.800 --> 01:50:33.920 Predictions for this one I at the every crazy surprise of anyone here when VP just like I was crazy 01:50:33.960 --> 01:50:37.400 surprise that she went for TM in a previous match. 01:50:37.400 --> 01:50:40.200 To be clear, we went for TM. 01:50:40.200 --> 01:50:41.200 I'm so surprised. 01:50:41.200 --> 01:50:42.200 I didn't know. 01:50:42.200 --> 01:50:43.200 Yeah, you took that. 01:50:43.200 --> 01:50:44.200 I didn't know. 01:50:44.200 --> 01:50:45.200 That's how crazy that was. 01:50:45.200 --> 01:50:46.200 No, listen. 01:50:46.200 --> 01:50:49.320 I mean, point is, you're ready for predictions. 01:50:49.320 --> 01:50:53.580 We don't really know what to expect from these teams, what they have in the back pocket. 01:50:53.580 --> 01:51:00.120 It is just eight teams playing it out in such a high stakes format that any team might 01:51:00.120 --> 01:51:05.560 have you know something and then I'm in the surprise for us that is true that is 01:51:05.560 --> 01:51:10.120 true so you ended up going for Zeta in this yes yes 01:51:10.120 --> 01:51:13.120 to finish the point I'm going for Zeta 01:51:13.120 --> 01:51:16.120 I was like she set this up 01:51:16.120 --> 01:51:19.120 I got to set myself up for this one 01:51:19.120 --> 01:51:20.120 Zeta all the way 01:51:20.120 --> 01:51:22.120 what is Zeta division? 01:51:22.120 --> 01:51:27.120 the way you were back in BPF like are you are you gonna be a contrarian? 01:51:27.120 --> 01:51:34.000 I think we're Zeta division across the board here, right? It would be crazy not to just kind of go with Zeta 01:51:34.000 --> 01:51:36.840 I definitely got to agree with you. It would be pretty wild 01:51:36.840 --> 01:51:42.440 Yeah, it'll just be a matter of like how dominant is this match going to look like can VP fight back and if so 01:51:42.440 --> 01:51:44.400 Can they once again like kind of provide a blueprint? 01:51:44.400 --> 01:51:50.540 Maybe something that TM can take away from their match there as well because I really liked what we've seen from a VP and how they 01:51:50.600 --> 01:51:54.920 Handled to the current meta in the first round yesterday again. That's it 01:51:54.920 --> 01:51:59.240 That was the first to do this one is the first to three and they have to go up 01:51:59.560 --> 01:52:03.280 Against the best team that we potentially have here the champions clash 01:52:03.280 --> 01:52:09.760 So it will be an uphill battle in order to secure that final spot in the upper bracket a final 01:52:09.760 --> 01:52:13.720 We are now heading into a short breaks and in a few minutes 01:52:13.720 --> 01:52:16.540 We're gonna have Tiger on stage to bring out our teams 01:52:24.920 --> 01:52:32.920 I'm sick and tired of you 01:52:32.920 --> 01:52:36.920 All this time I've been nothing but pain 01:52:36.920 --> 01:52:40.920 There's no more to try and rescue 01:52:40.920 --> 01:52:43.920 How this story ends ain't up to you 01:52:43.920 --> 01:52:47.920 I'll take a step back so I can move on 01:52:47.920 --> 01:52:51.920 And I'm the wrong try, you're not the one 01:52:51.920 --> 01:52:55.920 I've gotten stuck by it, so I can move on 01:52:55.920 --> 01:52:59.920 Then I'm the wrong track, and I'm the right one 01:53:02.920 --> 01:53:06.920 We got blinded, put you alone 01:53:06.920 --> 01:53:09.920 Now we got no friends, so good, and we gone 01:53:09.920 --> 01:53:13.920 You got me free and strong, but sometimes you run 01:53:13.920 --> 01:53:18.920 My broken heart and I, we're moving on, moving on 01:54:21.920 --> 01:54:23.980 you 01:54:51.920 --> 01:54:53.980 you 01:55:21.920 --> 01:55:23.980 you 01:55:51.920 --> 01:55:53.980 you 01:56:21.920 --> 01:56:23.980 you 01:56:51.920 --> 01:56:53.920 You 01:57:51.920 --> 01:57:53.920 You 02:00:21.920 --> 02:00:23.920 First of all, this team. 02:00:23.920 --> 02:00:26.920 ZEATER DIVISION! 02:00:44.920 --> 02:00:45.920 The title is... 02:00:45.920 --> 02:00:47.920 BERSERK SPROW! 02:01:21.920 --> 02:01:23.920 to take down the world champions 02:01:23.920 --> 02:01:25.920 in the number one that seed in 02:01:25.920 --> 02:01:27.920 twisted minds, not just a moment 02:01:27.920 --> 02:01:29.920 ago, but now we have careers 02:01:29.920 --> 02:01:31.920 number one versus EMA's number 02:01:31.920 --> 02:01:33.920 two. 02:01:33.920 --> 02:01:35.920 A few three t-shirts of the crowd as 02:01:35.920 --> 02:01:37.920 well as air division giving a few gifts 02:01:37.920 --> 02:01:39.920 before they well the crowd hope at 02:01:39.920 --> 02:01:41.920 least. 02:01:41.920 --> 02:01:43.920 I mean, that would be insane, right? 02:01:43.920 --> 02:01:45.920 When you look at the match schedule 02:01:45.920 --> 02:01:47.920 for today and you looked at all of the 02:01:47.920 --> 02:01:49.920 games, you think to yourself, what 02:01:49.920 --> 02:01:58.960 closer. Twisted Mines versus Crazy Raccoon, or Zeta coming up here against Virtus. You 02:01:58.960 --> 02:02:06.080 would probably say it would be the world champions. That it would be Twisted Mines going head-to-head 02:02:06.080 --> 02:02:12.800 of five map balls against Crazy Raccoon, but no, a free and oh win there for the sweep 02:02:12.800 --> 02:02:19.040 of the honking team. Now we get to see how far the divide comes between our seed two 02:02:19.040 --> 02:02:22.120 from EMEA, and I see the one from Asia. 02:02:22.120 --> 02:02:24.520 And it was beat down by the way, like it wasn't like a three or like, oh, 02:02:24.520 --> 02:02:25.760 I can't get that little fight back. 02:02:25.760 --> 02:02:28.520 But it was like, yeah, you might as well have just punched me, 02:02:28.520 --> 02:02:30.120 Mux, you know, because it was that back. 02:02:30.120 --> 02:02:32.680 Like it was, and that's not what we expected. 02:02:32.680 --> 02:02:36.160 But like you said, this game in theory is going to be not, 02:02:36.160 --> 02:02:40.200 not even as close, like 1% as close because it's safe to have been so 02:02:40.200 --> 02:02:42.000 damn common evening in Asia. 02:02:42.000 --> 02:02:43.960 It was a very long series. 02:02:43.960 --> 02:02:47.560 It went to seven maps versus Crazy Raccoon in that Asia finals. 02:02:47.560 --> 02:02:53.560 But like it felt like Zeta didn't really have the steam in the early early few maps and then they eventually picked it up 02:02:53.560 --> 02:03:00.160 If there was like Zeta coming in everybody was super scared of them and now furthest pro like like what do you think of the chances here for 02:03:00.560 --> 02:03:05.440 VP against Zeta well VP set themselves yesterday when they did that winner interview 02:03:05.440 --> 02:03:11.100 The one team that they wanted to go up against was Zeta and you can see that they're prepared here right Anna ban right out of the 02:03:11.100 --> 02:03:14.160 Gates to take shoes Anna away and pour some onto the Kiriko 02:03:14.160 --> 02:03:21.360 something that Zeta will always prioritizing was the Ana in the Catastrian matchup coming on through in their region stages. 02:03:21.360 --> 02:03:28.160 But the fact that it's alias means that it's likely going to be things like the Wrecking Ball as that tank instead. 02:03:28.160 --> 02:03:30.160 So I think you'll be on the Curico anyway. 02:03:32.160 --> 02:03:33.160 Ooh, look. 02:03:33.160 --> 02:03:34.160 Oh, that sign. 02:03:34.160 --> 02:03:35.160 The sign jerseys too. 02:03:35.160 --> 02:03:36.160 Oh. 02:03:36.160 --> 02:03:37.160 Oh, my. 02:03:37.160 --> 02:03:38.160 Damn it. 02:03:38.160 --> 02:03:39.160 I thought it was just regular teachers. 02:03:39.160 --> 02:03:40.160 I think it was just regular teachers. 02:03:40.160 --> 02:03:41.160 Eww. 02:03:41.160 --> 02:03:42.160 I would have been at the time myself. 02:03:42.160 --> 02:04:03.160 I've been way through that crowd, Duke. Give me, give me. Yeah, that is pro. They have a very tall order ahead of them because Zayna division, I didn't mean Johnny was speaking about it a little bit yesterday. The fact that this team as well was rebuilt from the ground up and rebuilt with some of the best players to touch the game. 02:04:03.160 --> 02:04:06.600 I mean, look at this backline and tell me how many Overwatch teams these have been... 02:04:06.600 --> 02:04:07.920 Who let him get you? 02:04:07.920 --> 02:04:09.360 Who let him get you? 02:04:09.360 --> 02:04:10.520 Who said... 02:04:10.520 --> 02:04:11.800 Do you know what? 02:04:11.800 --> 02:04:16.120 You're allowed to pick up Shula as well, because they've just been collecting the Infinity Stones. 02:04:16.120 --> 02:04:19.920 That's the death way to describe Zayda's team at the moment. 02:04:19.920 --> 02:04:24.320 And in comparison to Virtus.Pro, they lost J.Woo to Twisted Rhymes. 02:04:24.320 --> 02:04:25.480 Right, right. 02:04:25.480 --> 02:04:31.800 Yeah, so it's like, well, Shoo, we got him, and then J.Woo, you've lost one of your best players of 2TM. 02:04:31.800 --> 02:04:32.600 Yeah. 02:04:32.600 --> 02:04:40.300 Yeah, it's going to be tough here for VP. Fast map is going to be Ilios, like you said, some Wrecking Ball could come in here, especially on this round. 02:04:40.300 --> 02:04:49.800 Yeah, for sure. If it's Lighthouse starting off as well, then that Wrecking Ball is going to be feeling the impact, and Neil Garro has a mean Wrecking Ball on him. 02:04:49.800 --> 02:04:53.600 No Cap Aston banned out, so likely going to be seeing the bans. 02:05:02.600 --> 02:05:06.780 way bigger chance there from the 02:05:06.780 --> 02:05:09.500 division side a ton of fans coming in 02:05:09.500 --> 02:05:11.340 through from Japan and from a ton of a 02:05:11.340 --> 02:05:12.940 different countries to see some English 02:05:12.940 --> 02:05:14.660 fans come up to us which has been rather 02:05:14.660 --> 02:05:16.060 nice so there's going to be a few of 02:05:16.060 --> 02:05:20.180 them in the crowd for VP ice actually 02:05:20.180 --> 02:05:23.020 hovering Malgo to start up fix it 02:05:23.020 --> 02:05:25.180 obviously hopping over to the jetpack 02:05:25.180 --> 02:05:26.660 cat Kevstar on the bashing quick 02:05:26.660 --> 02:05:28.820 teleport out say the division running 02:05:28.820 --> 02:05:30.180 different than tank full milk are who 02:05:30.180 --> 02:05:31.540 obviously it's going to be a wrecking 02:05:31.540 --> 02:05:34.780 ball here. So I just want to get to that point real quick. Yeah Kevser on the 02:05:34.780 --> 02:05:38.180 bastion too means that you don't have to ban out the Cassidy, not to have to worry 02:05:38.180 --> 02:05:44.940 about stopping that retching ball. Oh, gets the best of Knife. Yeah, he did that. 02:05:44.940 --> 02:05:51.220 Oh nice, Nate too. Forced to recall really on from proper. That's got Shu weighing in 02:05:51.220 --> 02:05:54.140 the wings, but this gives VP an opening here to guys on the point. They should be 02:05:54.140 --> 02:05:56.820 able to get onto the point like you said and now you're going to be able to play 02:05:56.820 --> 02:06:00.300 that Malga just to anchor the point itself. You're going to be able to get out 02:06:00.300 --> 02:06:03.740 when the wrecking ball comes through, so Zed even though they have a little mobile composition, 02:06:03.740 --> 02:06:06.460 they don't get the first point cap so they can't play the scoreline. 02:06:06.460 --> 02:06:11.860 Good slap, but Kevser instantly bathed in that Suzu knife on the high ground. 02:06:11.860 --> 02:06:14.900 He's not got too much of an angle there, unfortunately to shoot anybody, he's going to have to drop 02:06:14.900 --> 02:06:17.820 like Garen, it's proper and quieter, end up going down. 02:06:17.820 --> 02:06:20.900 Alright, okay, good start from VP. 02:06:20.900 --> 02:06:24.780 I worry about how they're going to be able to deal with Ice on this Maga 2 because usually 02:06:24.780 --> 02:06:29.860 you would see the Reaper come through instead of that Tracer, so Ice-Nuln is just going 02:06:29.860 --> 02:06:35.220 to be able to survive for infinite on this point and if Zeta can't ice them out 02:06:35.220 --> 02:06:39.020 they'll all get to the back line with the Kiriko they're not going to be able to 02:06:39.020 --> 02:06:41.860 actually flip the switch and get this point capped. 02:06:41.860 --> 02:06:46.220 Kephz got the emergency out as well. 02:06:46.620 --> 02:06:50.260 Syco's waiting for them to dive in first then double blink to that high ground 02:06:50.260 --> 02:06:54.740 if they stay around. Herdmilk Garu though, drops down, takes that mega health back. 02:06:54.740 --> 02:06:58.340 Kephz pops the ult, he's got that over health so he can't be jumped on instantly. 02:06:58.340 --> 02:07:00.340 got ice on him and he's back as well. 02:07:00.340 --> 02:07:02.340 That's been a damage there onto the Bachelorette. 02:07:02.340 --> 02:07:04.340 Proper goes down to Landon. 02:07:04.340 --> 02:07:06.340 That's a couple of times in a row now that Landon's got the pick on Proper. 02:07:06.340 --> 02:07:08.340 And it's huge too because Proper had the pulse bomb 02:07:08.340 --> 02:07:10.340 which means that you can use Suzu freely 02:07:10.340 --> 02:07:13.340 not worrying about the pulse bomb being able to come on through. 02:07:13.340 --> 02:07:15.340 You've got the catnap as well from Fixer 02:07:15.340 --> 02:07:17.340 potentially to disrupt Suzu's usage 02:07:17.340 --> 02:07:19.340 of the Kitsune rush as Landon pulls. 02:07:19.340 --> 02:07:21.340 Yeah, Suzu's already got that kill. 02:07:21.340 --> 02:07:23.340 Violet's gonna slam into the ground and 02:07:23.340 --> 02:07:25.340 drag Ice off the edge. 02:07:25.340 --> 02:07:30.340 Nice work from Vyla, but still VP with 70%. 02:07:30.340 --> 02:07:34.220 That was Shoes Rush though invested for Zeta to be able to find the flip, which means that 02:07:34.220 --> 02:07:38.020 Virtus Pro could potentially, if they can walk on to the point with this Malga, use 02:07:38.020 --> 02:07:42.340 one-sided Rush and force Zeta Division to give up all of the space they just got back. 02:07:42.340 --> 02:07:45.340 Alright, well they're taking this to the skies again with the Bastions. 02:07:45.340 --> 02:07:47.340 Mugara's gonna try and knock him out. 02:07:47.340 --> 02:07:50.340 Or at least distract for a moment. 02:07:50.340 --> 02:07:52.340 My 50 HP is gonna get around, but all good. 02:07:52.340 --> 02:07:53.340 Here comes the healing off. 02:07:53.340 --> 02:07:56.660 food is gonna be able to stay alive, as Kevser goes down to Milgaru. 02:07:56.660 --> 02:08:00.460 There's two pronged attack as well. It's worth pointing in my light, you've got the 02:08:00.460 --> 02:08:02.880 bull slam and the Bastion to deal with. Come on! 02:08:02.880 --> 02:08:08.140 Proper ends up going down again. Not used to seeing proper go down this early, so many 02:08:08.140 --> 02:08:12.540 times. Mine's on the point, there's a rush through it too for VP, so Ice is gonna be 02:08:12.540 --> 02:08:17.660 more than safe to hang around, but the poop ends up coming in once again, finally takes 02:08:17.660 --> 02:08:18.660 down Ice. 02:08:18.660 --> 02:08:36.660 Oh, good stick! Knifers down, good exit trade there from Saiko, which means that Xayah won't be able to play super aggressively towards Virtus Pro spawnside with the Bastion with that cat, so Virtus Pro will have a little bit more space to be able to work with, but 92% picked up for them, that's one fight win from being able to take this round. 02:08:38.660 --> 02:08:42.660 And by the time it's gone old again, Ice is going to have to be careful. Cage, so important in this fight though. 02:08:42.660 --> 02:08:48.160 Yeah, if you can combine cage with artillery strike coming up from Kev, so Zayda are not going to be having a fun time. 02:08:48.160 --> 02:08:53.160 Yeah, cage for Isom on the point, she's going to get dragged off again, not again! 02:08:54.160 --> 02:08:58.660 Violet is so damn good on this damn cat! 02:08:58.660 --> 02:08:59.160 Oh! 02:08:59.160 --> 02:09:01.660 Zayda the fishing and making that fight look easy. 02:09:01.660 --> 02:09:05.160 And that cage, Moxie, yeah, it was important, but come on. 02:09:05.160 --> 02:09:08.660 I mean, the cage denied by the catnap coming through... 02:09:08.660 --> 02:09:10.160 Oh, it's gross. 02:09:10.160 --> 02:09:14.440 It's a horrible time for a maga even if you've got like the overrun and play potential 02:09:14.440 --> 02:09:18.080 You can use it to dodge out from the catnap the ice it must have been on cooldown 02:09:18.320 --> 02:09:23.240 Violet perfectly tracking that maga's weakness as we're gonna be looking for proper having that pulse phone 02:09:23.240 --> 02:09:29.160 Which means that Landon has to hook the suzu man. He's gonna have nightmares this week. I'll tell you right now about violets 02:09:29.800 --> 02:09:31.800 Jepa cat 02:09:32.040 --> 02:09:34.520 Well fish has got a note of his own the catnapper 02:09:34.520 --> 02:09:37.560 Wow, they think they're putting free. What a post from Propobo! 02:09:37.560 --> 02:09:40.200 Our delivery up for Raj comes in too. 02:09:40.200 --> 02:09:42.840 Maybe we wanted you to actually have the point there. 02:09:42.840 --> 02:09:43.800 It was a bait. It was a bait. 02:09:43.800 --> 02:09:44.520 All along. 02:09:44.520 --> 02:09:47.800 Because then they're deep enough for Shuta to be able to commit the Katsune Rush 02:09:47.800 --> 02:09:52.360 and Virtus.Pro not caught in a maugagate, but might as well be caught in a barrel. 02:09:53.720 --> 02:09:55.640 It's them building though. They need to get to the point. 02:09:55.640 --> 02:09:58.120 Sam's going to come in. Who's here to actually touch? 02:09:58.120 --> 02:10:00.360 VP get one. It's Psycho, but Fix is already dead. 02:10:00.360 --> 02:10:01.640 This passion's going to be alone here. 02:10:01.640 --> 02:10:08.440 the sky is the knife. In the, uh, in the skybox there for a second. It's going to be a mind, 02:10:08.440 --> 02:10:13.960 but as you do, the only thing landed can do to save the team now. And there's five players 02:10:13.960 --> 02:10:20.120 from data division locking down this point. There's just no hope, no chance, no way. They're 02:10:20.120 --> 02:10:24.920 going to get that one back. That is round one over to Zeta. I mean, it's not just five players 02:10:24.920 --> 02:10:30.360 from Zeta. It's also the minefield as well. So unfortunately for VP, they just did not have 02:10:30.360 --> 02:10:33.940 time to be able to sit in the space, build up the one-sided rush, and use it to be able 02:10:33.940 --> 02:10:39.820 to flip through that overtime play. Zeta, it was close. It was close. Like, there were 02:10:39.820 --> 02:10:44.180 moments, the fact that Landon was getting the better of Propos so many times, the Kiriko 02:10:44.180 --> 02:10:48.780 vs Tracer could have opened up a lot of space, but the moments Zeta were able to get feed 02:10:48.780 --> 02:10:52.740 on the point, have that space deny the maga from being able to hit the backline, because 02:10:52.740 --> 02:10:58.060 they were in control. They could keep the Kiriko out of Aista's reach. That's when they started 02:10:58.060 --> 02:11:04.060 pulling ahead all right they're gonna roll with the same thing milgari 02:11:04.060 --> 02:11:09.100 right on milgari it says hold on well yeah all right so we've seen some Ryan 02:11:09.100 --> 02:11:14.340 and now we're seeing the hog okay okay it's custom workshop time how many people 02:11:14.340 --> 02:11:18.340 get hooked into the well they're getting him up on the high ground too 02:11:18.340 --> 02:11:21.540 oh don't fall for it please but they're gonna 02:11:21.540 --> 02:11:23.540 I 02:11:25.020 --> 02:11:30.780 What is my time to it and look who expects a road hook to play from that position they knew he was there 02:11:30.780 --> 02:11:33.260 Yeah, they beat the corner 02:11:33.260 --> 02:11:34.140 They knew he was there 02:11:34.140 --> 02:11:40.940 But the hook just grabs them in a little bit too deep before they can get out and yet again Zeta answer the question like what do voters 02:11:40.940 --> 02:11:45.900 Pro do now getting this maga back in it did not go well on Lighthouse 02:11:45.900 --> 02:11:48.260 It's likely not going to go well and well 02:11:48.260 --> 02:11:52.940 Yeah, they're just trying to stop them from pushing in, and they actually forced the forms 02:11:52.940 --> 02:11:53.940 really early on. 02:11:53.940 --> 02:11:58.460 They're getting the hill, but now you have to fight into the Roadhog, into the Well. 02:11:58.460 --> 02:12:02.740 You have to start getting real close to an artillery strike, but it's not really going 02:12:02.740 --> 02:12:05.620 to do much to lock Zeta's players down. 02:12:05.620 --> 02:12:08.220 They can probably both going low with Psycho Buster Recall. 02:12:08.220 --> 02:12:09.220 Super early too! 02:12:09.220 --> 02:12:11.740 Missing the Hog and the Flying Bastion, but all good. 02:12:11.740 --> 02:12:14.500 You're going to have to show some malware mentality right now. 02:12:14.500 --> 02:12:18.020 I should try and chase Mulgaru down, because Prop has already got a kill onto Psycho. 02:12:18.020 --> 02:12:21.140 I tell you, Barrage does make sure Ice has to back off. 02:12:21.140 --> 02:12:24.740 So, VP, the end of losing both DPS. 02:12:24.740 --> 02:12:27.380 Vixx does end up killing both of them, though, at least, but... 02:12:27.380 --> 02:12:30.140 I mean, getting two kills, at least, but... 02:12:30.140 --> 02:12:31.460 Are you gonna be able to stay alive? 02:12:31.460 --> 02:12:32.060 The catnap! The catnap! 02:12:32.060 --> 02:12:33.660 Popper is still going! 02:12:33.660 --> 02:12:37.620 Violet gets to get another catnap onto the Malga. 02:12:37.620 --> 02:12:39.260 Oh, my goodness. 02:12:39.260 --> 02:12:41.980 Ice is having the worst possible time on this tank roll. 02:12:41.980 --> 02:12:43.100 There it is, Hellish. 02:12:43.100 --> 02:12:47.540 Ice is in just the seventh circle of Hell, and it's jetpack cat. 02:12:47.540 --> 02:12:53.280 With the catnap off of the map, you go so many times. She was going to have earlier rush as well 02:12:53.280 --> 02:12:58.740 So when Virtus.pro walk into it, they have nothing to be able to answer back, which means it just has to be a good decision to play. 02:12:59.340 --> 02:13:01.340 Not taking too much damage here. 02:13:01.600 --> 02:13:03.900 Still hovering above this windmill right now. 02:13:03.900 --> 02:13:05.900 Oh, the hurt! 02:13:05.900 --> 02:13:07.900 Oh! 02:13:07.900 --> 02:13:11.180 I just made two! Are you serious? 02:13:11.780 --> 02:13:13.780 There's just no way! 02:13:13.780 --> 02:13:20.980 Okay, Viola is making a play to be one of the best jetpack cap players in the world. 02:13:20.980 --> 02:13:25.780 Like the amount of accuracy for the catnap, the saves from the quite literal lifeline 02:13:25.780 --> 02:13:31.780 to keep Milgarra in the fight with the whole hog against Fixer, what a play. 02:13:31.780 --> 02:13:35.780 I mean, I just have the worst possible time in this tank pick right now. 02:13:35.780 --> 02:13:37.780 Well, they've at least killed Nife. 02:13:37.780 --> 02:13:38.780 There is a rush on the point. 02:13:38.780 --> 02:13:41.780 They're still looking front of the hook and Milgarra against Fixer. 02:13:41.780 --> 02:13:48.340 Hogan to the corner, Milgaru is still alive, mind you, despite the artillery brass landing 02:13:48.340 --> 02:13:55.020 next to him as well, Cajuns are coming in, Xayah Division on 99% but proper kills, Kevster 02:13:55.020 --> 02:14:00.180 and now Ice-Tone, he's had a use of the Kadec Overdrive already, so he's not going to have 02:14:00.180 --> 02:14:06.140 any sustain for this point, Violet swoops in, picks up the kill on the Mauga and Saitan 02:14:06.140 --> 02:14:13.500 mission a hundred to zero on well disgusting first map I think we're 02:14:13.500 --> 02:14:18.220 about to see a cat van look at that smile on by its face oh he's he's so happy 02:14:18.220 --> 02:14:24.580 look at that smile on my guy's face that is roses are red violets are blue if 02:14:24.580 --> 02:14:28.460 he's got a cat nap you better believe ice nom is in the wrong side of the kill 02:14:28.460 --> 02:14:33.460 feed that's that's how that saying goes right now oh they they really did just 02:14:33.460 --> 02:14:52.460 I mean, it's great VP perfectly like the fact that the mother was coming out. They were more than happy to let the mother come out to play because the catnap the jetpack at the bastion leverage being able to just take out so many times the tank so that VP lost any way of creating space for the bastion or the trace to get anything done. 02:14:52.460 --> 02:14:54.460 So dominant from Zeta. 02:15:24.460 --> 02:15:30.860 I mean, we did see, I think for me the smartest Jetpack cat play was still the previous Ilias 02:15:30.860 --> 02:15:34.460 where we got that little dip of the lifeline, or rather the cat's... 02:15:34.460 --> 02:15:35.460 Into the death box? 02:15:35.460 --> 02:15:39.500 Into the death box, while the cat's still above it so that you only get the D.Va killed and 02:15:39.500 --> 02:15:45.540 still stay standing, or I guess flying, but across the board, yeah, Viola for sure, the 02:15:45.540 --> 02:15:48.060 most amount of value, the most amount of connections. 02:15:48.060 --> 02:15:49.060 Paul Eisner... 02:15:49.060 --> 02:15:50.060 Paul is my tank doing... 02:15:50.060 --> 02:15:51.060 He tries to run away! 02:15:51.060 --> 02:15:52.060 Yeah. 02:15:52.060 --> 02:16:01.060 Off of the high ground and get the drop, but look, even there the environmental off of the hook coming through from the El Garro, a cat hatched out onto the ice. 02:16:01.060 --> 02:16:06.060 It's just comedy. It's just pure comedy. I mean, I'm getting saved as well. 02:16:06.060 --> 02:16:18.060 I tell you what, Virtus.Pro, they're going to be talking to the devs. They're going to be like, hey, I know you sort of tried to fix AP, but what if we could build some rails around Ilias Lell just to make sure that... 02:16:18.060 --> 02:16:20.060 Please don't. Do not listen to them. 02:16:20.060 --> 02:16:23.700 Do not listen to them. Keep it the way it is. I want to see more Roadhog 02:16:23.700 --> 02:16:30.140 No, it's the same people who built the DevStar. I'm pretty sure like they have the same aversion to railings to just let people fall off the side 02:16:30.780 --> 02:16:36.560 Well say the division on feeling very very comfortable after that map a little quick tour 02:16:36.560 --> 02:16:39.380 And let's talk about what we spoke about at the top of this 02:16:39.580 --> 02:16:45.900 Hmm, we're expecting Zeya division to be like light years ahead in terms of not really like the meta 02:16:45.900 --> 02:16:52.060 But just how well they'll perform here considering how dominant they've been in Korea and in the Asia finals as well 02:16:52.860 --> 02:16:54.460 but for VP 02:16:54.460 --> 02:16:57.940 Going to a map like you don't city kind of the map that you're okay 02:16:57.980 --> 02:17:02.740 Jetpack cat or like jet bash a cat bashing not as problem 02:17:03.860 --> 02:17:08.380 Environmental students exactly every team that's like okay. We kind of don't want to play that kind of comp 02:17:08.380 --> 02:17:12.540 They're taking us here. Yeah, that's only two points really on New York City 02:17:12.540 --> 02:17:17.460 where you can potentially get environmentally off by a cat nap. So, Virtus Pro will probably 02:17:17.460 --> 02:17:21.900 be just like crossing all limbs that they don't RNG random roll into them if they do 02:17:21.900 --> 02:17:26.500 let the cat through. But this is a first to three series, so even if they've been on the 02:17:26.500 --> 02:17:30.740 cat now, they do still have to face it against another of the map, but then potentially they 02:17:30.740 --> 02:17:35.020 could go for the Bastion ban. As I think for Virtus Pro, I'm not surprised it's New 02:17:35.020 --> 02:17:39.840 Junxty because this is where cats are popped off the other day, with the Cassidy like 02:17:39.840 --> 02:17:43.880 that's a good thing. I mean, 02:17:43.880 --> 02:17:45.880 it's a good thing. It's a 02:17:45.880 --> 02:17:47.880 generational performance. 02:17:47.880 --> 02:17:48.880 Probably the best cast 02:17:48.880 --> 02:17:50.880 performance he's put on in his 02:17:50.880 --> 02:17:52.840 whole Overwatch career. 02:17:52.840 --> 02:17:54.840 Substitution for Zeta as well. 02:17:54.840 --> 02:17:55.880 We'll take a couple of extra 02:17:55.880 --> 02:17:57.880 minutes here just to get 02:17:57.880 --> 02:17:59.880 everybody ready from Zeta on 02:17:59.880 --> 02:18:01.880 the stage. If you've got a lock 02:18:01.880 --> 02:18:03.880 in, though. They kept strong 02:18:03.880 --> 02:18:04.880 the casting again. But again, 02:18:04.880 --> 02:18:05.880 look at the DPS going against 02:18:05.880 --> 02:18:07.880 them obviously, but what if they 02:18:07.880 --> 02:18:14.760 go for the Bastion Burn so that they can then use it to save the Cassidy as well while still 02:18:14.760 --> 02:18:17.000 removing the threat of the Bastion Cap. 02:18:17.000 --> 02:18:18.500 Yeah, little protect. 02:18:18.500 --> 02:18:20.000 Benar for Milgaru though. 02:18:20.000 --> 02:18:22.560 Milgaru, rocking that Wreck-n-Ball a lot of time. 02:18:22.560 --> 02:18:25.640 Benar, okay, I'm liking this substitute especially on this kind of map. 02:18:25.640 --> 02:18:29.200 If you want to play a lot of heavy, like off-tank, Benar is the guy. 02:18:29.200 --> 02:18:30.200 Maybe some Sigma. 02:18:30.200 --> 02:18:33.960 Yeah, a little bit of Sigma potentially, maybe some Zarya as well if you want to just be 02:18:33.960 --> 02:18:39.120 able to play super aggressive and run towards Virtus.Pro so that they don't get the opportunity 02:18:39.120 --> 02:18:44.140 to create and sit in that space for DPS to be able to get work done since both Zeta and 02:18:44.140 --> 02:18:48.320 Crazy Raccoon are such aggressive teams, they really understand the timings to be able to 02:18:48.320 --> 02:18:53.400 go in and disengage and get out, and that's really a good playstyle for Flashpoint because 02:18:53.400 --> 02:18:58.080 you sort of look at control and how fast the point percentage ratchets up on there. It 02:18:58.080 --> 02:19:01.880 ratchets up even faster on Flashpoint, so being able to take these fights really quickly 02:19:01.880 --> 02:19:07.760 but also punish your opponent when they start losing one to stagger out those picks and deny them the chance of regrouping for the next one 02:19:07.760 --> 02:19:13.300 Can be the difference maker of allowing them to take three fights per one point and only limit it to two? 02:19:17.040 --> 02:19:19.960 I think the question is too we're with the EMEA is 02:19:20.480 --> 02:19:25.240 the crazy raccoon game 3-0 over twisted minds and if Zeta keep on this kind of performance 02:19:25.240 --> 02:19:28.000 Maybe it's gonna be 3-0 versus VP like are we back? 02:19:28.000 --> 02:19:32.000 the Asian region back. Yeah, 02:19:32.000 --> 02:19:35.000 it's like going down there with 02:19:35.000 --> 02:19:38.000 N a and China into that lower 02:19:38.000 --> 02:19:41.000 bracket. Mizuki ban for VP. 02:19:41.000 --> 02:19:44.000 Looking at last series, Mobsi. 02:19:44.000 --> 02:19:46.000 Mizuki pretty crazy, but sorry 02:19:46.000 --> 02:19:48.000 about for Zeta. I like the 02:19:48.000 --> 02:19:49.000 Mizuki band because it also 02:19:49.000 --> 02:19:51.000 feels like something that a lot 02:19:51.000 --> 02:19:53.000 of the non Korean teams weren't 02:19:53.000 --> 02:19:54.000 ready to be able to deal with. 02:19:54.000 --> 02:19:56.000 It's probably like a strategy 02:19:56.000 --> 02:19:59.760 going to be the bashing going to be the cat and Korea's just pulled off the biggest game 02:19:59.760 --> 02:20:03.160 of psych that we have ever seen in a lot of ways. 02:20:03.160 --> 02:20:04.960 I actually think Mizuki's kind of fine guys. 02:20:04.960 --> 02:20:05.960 Mizuki guys, Mizuki. 02:20:05.960 --> 02:20:10.520 I hate to bring him to the- He's so bad guys and then he gets double buffed because when 02:20:10.520 --> 02:20:15.040 I'm playing in live patch so he's been having two back to back buffs, the Ori if you link 02:20:15.040 --> 02:20:17.240 coming tonight but honestly it's the sanctuary. 02:20:17.240 --> 02:20:21.880 The fact that you don't play it as aggressively but more as a defensive option against things 02:20:21.880 --> 02:20:26.040 like the overclock, and if they use the grav aton as well, then you can be able to just 02:20:26.040 --> 02:20:30.680 absorb all of the incoming damage by staying inside it, but we do get the Zarya man coming 02:20:30.680 --> 02:20:35.320 on out as well at the same time, so likely D the potential little bit of signal. 02:20:35.320 --> 02:20:44.520 Yeah, I think with, especially on these escrow maps, Mizuki's so powerful holding corners, 02:20:44.520 --> 02:20:49.920 really nice to play around, and you can play a little bit more aggressively too, not like 02:20:49.920 --> 02:20:55.680 you can like TP at will you kind of have to set yourself up for it, but like you being able to play on those off angles also very annoying 02:20:55.680 --> 02:20:58.760 Have to get cleared out and then you have and then the almost easy piece away 02:20:58.760 --> 02:21:02.920 And then he's super far in the back line and the aura healing too is just the chain the chain 02:21:02.920 --> 02:21:08.800 So as well easy yet anything which can just like grab you to one specific spot with that follow-up as we can have a look 02:21:08.800 --> 02:21:15.200 You see our stats coming up through from Bernal the biggest thing in my opinion for stats for a tank is the amount of deaths 02:21:15.200 --> 02:21:20.280 that you have, right? Damage, you're not expecting to be high, but it's the amount of depth and 02:21:20.280 --> 02:21:25.480 fall, like you said, it's very low. In comparison to the amount of damage that you're doing as well 02:21:25.480 --> 02:21:29.600 as the limbs that you're getting, which goes to show that Bernard's got a very good rate of what 02:21:29.600 --> 02:21:34.600 he can get away with, but also the synergy with his backline, because that was like a worry too, 02:21:34.600 --> 02:21:39.240 when you're adding new players to your backline, when she was coming in, how well versed are you 02:21:39.240 --> 02:21:44.000 going to be when you have to add a new support, like is the trust going to be there to be able to 02:21:44.000 --> 02:21:47.440 pull off some of these plays, which really come down to half a second frames. 02:21:49.600 --> 02:21:54.400 Yeah, we'll see if we see more Garoo a little bit later on. Looks like Benar is set up though. 02:21:54.400 --> 02:22:01.840 We're about to get into this next map. VP have got a lot of questions to answer. Can Kevster kind of 02:22:02.800 --> 02:22:07.840 play this carry performance again with the Cassidy against the Leica Zeta Division, which is, 02:22:07.840 --> 02:22:12.960 yeah, it's a tall order. I mean, like we said, if he looked insane, he was getting what? We had two 02:22:12.960 --> 02:22:20.080 flash points and he had two ultimate. First fight, second fight, he got six kills within 02:22:20.080 --> 02:22:24.440 two fights, three kills in the first which was absolutely wild. By the time the first 02:22:24.440 --> 02:22:31.760 fight ended he was 72% to the first dead eye. It was clicking heads? It was clicking heads 02:22:31.760 --> 02:22:39.440 and combat rolling. The reload into clicking heads. But against proper knife, like, are 02:22:39.440 --> 02:22:41.440 You're going to be able to do the same thing? 02:22:41.440 --> 02:22:42.440 Probably not. 02:22:42.440 --> 02:22:44.440 Like, you probably can't disrespect Zed at that much. 02:22:44.440 --> 02:22:46.440 She was on your screen. 02:22:46.440 --> 02:22:48.440 Of course, with Violet sitting next to him. 02:22:48.440 --> 02:22:50.440 Crazy backline, too. 02:22:50.440 --> 02:22:52.440 I mean, Violet, obviously, two championship rings. 02:22:52.440 --> 02:22:55.440 The guy is one of the greatest of all time. 02:22:55.440 --> 02:22:57.440 Kitted out, pretty much. 02:22:57.440 --> 02:23:00.440 Like, every player on Zed's team is just absolutely 02:23:00.440 --> 02:23:02.440 Kitted out and over to each possible. 02:23:02.440 --> 02:23:05.440 Like, that's why we said they're the favourites coming into this. 02:23:05.440 --> 02:23:08.440 Even though Twisted Plains wear the championship tag, 02:23:08.440 --> 02:23:15.040 Zeta are the arguably more dominant team when you weigh up all of the years of Overwatch 02:23:15.040 --> 02:23:18.720 eSports history that they have collectively. 02:23:18.720 --> 02:23:22.800 And in this meta, it looks like it favours the Korean teams because they got the jump 02:23:22.800 --> 02:23:28.120 on the Bastion Cat and they now have the lead on the second best meta, which is that Mizuki. 02:23:28.120 --> 02:23:33.520 Yeah, and just to add on to that a little bit, Shu has been around since 2017, before 02:23:33.520 --> 02:23:34.520 even Overwatch League. 02:23:34.520 --> 02:23:36.520 It was on flashlights in 2017. 02:23:36.520 --> 02:23:42.520 Like, he was, when you could change to other roles within the game, I know, crazy concept. 02:23:42.520 --> 02:23:45.520 Um, he was playing a little bit of the Widow as well as the Arnaud. 02:23:45.520 --> 02:23:48.520 Like, the guy's been around for such a long time. 02:23:48.520 --> 02:23:51.520 A true, like, veteran Satyrs player. 02:23:51.520 --> 02:23:54.520 As we jump in to this next map. 02:23:54.520 --> 02:23:56.520 Yeah, getting ready to go into this flashpoint. 02:23:56.520 --> 02:23:58.520 This is the true test for Virtus.4. 02:23:58.520 --> 02:24:03.520 Like, can they come out with the turnaround after such a dominant, 02:24:03.520 --> 02:24:08.520 dominant first round. Like this was where they were able to turn things around yesterday 02:24:08.520 --> 02:24:14.220 against WBG, but it really could have been either way if we did not see the Kevster Cassidy. 02:24:14.220 --> 02:24:20.520 So like we said, can he pull off a generational performance twice in a row? 02:24:50.520 --> 02:24:56.620 go crazy here against Zeta, but playing it's proper is so tough. Oh, that's not a tracer. 02:24:56.620 --> 02:25:00.540 We got baited. That's not a tracer. Okay. That's the surgeon. I was going to like, the 02:25:00.540 --> 02:25:04.860 tracer has more macro potential impact by being able to split the backline attention, 02:25:04.860 --> 02:25:08.860 but it's not the kill potential of something like a castle surgeon. All right, still on 02:25:08.860 --> 02:25:12.500 the bashing those knife, no cast that you're going to rely on proper TPs to get them around. 02:25:12.500 --> 02:25:16.860 Yeah, it's the same. This is something that Virtus.Pro used for Numbani yesterday and it 02:25:16.860 --> 02:25:19.940 really went quite well. You're going to be able to get around the staticness of the 02:25:19.940 --> 02:25:22.700 rematch for two since you can only put the shield in one direction. 02:25:22.700 --> 02:25:24.220 Wait, wait, wait, nice behind them. 02:25:24.220 --> 02:25:26.260 You've got to look around. 180 quick. 02:25:26.260 --> 02:25:31.300 Benar and proper take the kills, but knife just basically walked behind them for free there. 02:25:31.300 --> 02:25:32.500 It's the round shield, right? 02:25:32.500 --> 02:25:38.660 Once you put it down, it is dedicated to that one angle as opposed to Benar's, who's going to be much more fluid. 02:25:38.660 --> 02:25:41.380 This is one of the drawbacks of rematch. 02:25:41.380 --> 02:25:48.180 Go for something like a tracer, or in this instance, a same TP to enable nice reposition, and Ice can't save the team. 02:25:49.940 --> 02:26:07.940 They're gonna have to look out for it. They're gonna have to just keep their heads on a swivel because with Virtus.pro comp, yeah, they can use their own TP to get on somebody, but, I mean, getting spammed out with the Rikings from proper, sure, quick reset, but they're not going to give up another kill. 02:26:07.940 --> 02:26:14.340 This is allowing Xiu as well to hit rush faster because Landon's down one player to be able to heal all of that incoming poke. 02:26:14.340 --> 02:26:20.740 They're not allowing Virtus.Pro because it's only poke that they're taking to build up something like Kevser's OC to break this fight wide open. 02:26:20.740 --> 02:26:25.540 And look, Xiu's already got the rush ready to go. Virtus.Pro, if they want to match it, they have to give a point percentage. 02:26:25.540 --> 02:26:32.540 Yeah, they could go really quick as well. Virtus.Pro deciding against going through main, they're going to try and rotate through this middle choke point instead. 02:26:32.540 --> 02:26:35.140 TP up to high ground though, nice and such a good spot. 02:26:35.140 --> 02:26:40.100 He's a little turret so I'm gonna be in too much as Fixit gets poked by Nite and picked off as well. 02:26:40.100 --> 02:26:43.460 I mean Zeta, she's just pure domination, but it's pro. 02:26:43.460 --> 02:26:44.460 This is point. 02:26:44.460 --> 02:26:45.460 They got nothing. 02:26:45.460 --> 02:26:48.340 This is straight up first point, 100 to 0. 02:26:48.340 --> 02:26:51.220 Like the fact that they were getting those early limbs onto Viv's pro, 02:26:51.220 --> 02:26:56.580 the fact that they had that fight so one-sided in the first instance with the bashing, getting that reposition. 02:26:56.580 --> 02:27:00.900 And now while yes, Landon has one-sided rush and Fixit does have the same barrier, 02:27:00.900 --> 02:27:04.100 you can't use the same barrier at the same time as Violet because Bernard will just be 02:27:04.100 --> 02:27:08.260 holding onto the flux to ripple off the extra help off. 02:27:08.260 --> 02:27:10.580 And maybe Kev's gonna do something special here with his overclock in a moment. 02:27:10.580 --> 02:27:12.460 Cobra doesn't have going down, the flux is good though. 02:27:12.460 --> 02:27:14.540 Oh, and a good snipe on Psycho. 02:27:14.540 --> 02:27:16.380 Soundbarry for 4 on Zeta Division. 02:27:16.380 --> 02:27:20.580 But those, bro, that barrage actually is gonna force Aislin to back up slightly. 02:27:20.580 --> 02:27:25.300 B'nars now alone on the point, Ravnus Vortex is gonna hold him in places, while the rest 02:27:25.300 --> 02:27:26.300 are gonna get cleaned up. 02:27:26.300 --> 02:27:28.660 A fairly expensive fight though for VP. 02:27:28.660 --> 02:27:29.940 Both support ultimates used. 02:27:29.940 --> 02:27:38.700 Yeah, Burnard goes for the Flush to disrupt Landon's rush, as opposed to waiting to use it to strip off the sound barrier health, and then they use Vilus to be able to match. 02:27:38.700 --> 02:27:48.420 But, this comes at a cost now, Jaws. You don't have the barrier to be able to beat the OC, what you're relying on is proper sim wall, which would be great if Zedad Division were in control of the space. 02:27:48.420 --> 02:27:53.600 Now they're going to have to invade it in, walk onto the point, get the sim wall into position, which keeps it can easily overcome. 02:27:53.600 --> 02:27:58.600 Wait, TP, everybody's taking that on the exact same frame there. That was pretty impressive. 02:27:58.600 --> 02:28:00.600 This is proper, sets up with the wall. 02:28:00.600 --> 02:28:03.600 Little turrets are going to fight each other for the moment, but here it is. 02:28:03.600 --> 02:28:06.600 Alright, now what can you really do if you're ice-nirmed? 02:28:06.600 --> 02:28:08.600 The only thing realistically is just kite back. 02:28:08.600 --> 02:28:10.600 You've got Nemesis form, so you're going to be able to survive. 02:28:10.600 --> 02:28:15.600 Oh, proper with the TP. He's going to have an off-angle for the team as he teleports away from Kevster. 02:28:15.600 --> 02:28:18.600 Still an ultimate available here for VP. 02:28:18.600 --> 02:28:22.600 They've still got this annihilation to just turn up the tempo. 02:28:22.600 --> 02:28:27.240 end up going down to fix it. Zated Division now completely isolated. Every single member 02:28:27.240 --> 02:28:31.560 fighting their own individual battles as Virtus.Pro. They're looking to claim this next one. 02:28:31.560 --> 02:28:35.640 It was a long fight too and they get Shu late which is absolutely massive. Shu's not able 02:28:35.640 --> 02:28:38.760 to use the swift step and make it out with the rest of his team so they have to wait 02:28:38.760 --> 02:28:42.040 even a more time, even more point percentage from off of the back of that one. They're 02:28:42.040 --> 02:28:45.400 not going to have the rush to be able to challenge it. Virtus.Pro get the point tying us up one 02:28:45.400 --> 02:28:50.000 to one and Shu will have to consider us to go first in this next round but you still 02:28:50.000 --> 02:28:56.400 have to worry about that OC waiting in the wings for Kevster. No sim wall, no sigma to be able to shield it off. 02:28:58.400 --> 02:29:01.920 Yeah, super early rotation. Might just be a double rush fight to be fair. They might just 02:29:02.640 --> 02:29:06.640 one pop sit and the other one's going to pop it in kind. Hopefully they can win it out. Landon's a 02:29:06.640 --> 02:29:10.640 couple of percentage away. Kevster's still with his overlock too, by the way. All right, there it is. 02:29:10.640 --> 02:29:13.840 Kevster's going to pop it instantly. He gets rocked, though. I still am going extremely low. 02:29:13.840 --> 02:29:19.200 Luckily, though, he's got a nemesis form to back him up. His knife gets run over. But still, 02:29:19.200 --> 02:29:24.000 They're very low in the front line. Luckily, Aishen is still holding on, landed, healing him up in that rush. 02:29:24.000 --> 02:29:28.400 Sambara full-filing. Ends up hitting four. Flux is gonna be good. 02:29:28.400 --> 02:29:32.800 It's gonna tag the Lucio, but Fixer is more than alive. 02:29:32.800 --> 02:29:37.200 He was like over 75% HP there in that flux. 02:29:37.200 --> 02:29:40.080 But our Flux did nothing. By the speed, did nothing. 02:29:40.080 --> 02:29:43.920 As Zeta, they lose this fight, and they as Virtus Pro take the point. 02:29:43.920 --> 02:29:48.320 So many layers of that fight. Kevser using the OC, forcing Tudor to have to use the rush defensively, 02:29:48.320 --> 02:29:52.480 allows Lantern to hold on to the second rush and then they can survive so they can fight. 02:29:54.000 --> 02:29:59.600 Burn us onto the Arista to be able to put up the pressure onto this Rematra. Bastion Cat comes 02:29:59.600 --> 02:30:03.200 on through from Vard because this is one of those points with the environmental potential 02:30:03.200 --> 02:30:06.960 and Knife, he can go as aggressive as he wants. He's got the artillery strike. If he goes too low 02:30:06.960 --> 02:30:09.920 after the damage from the Thojan, he can use the artillery strike for the extra health. 02:30:10.480 --> 02:30:14.720 TP onto the Cat Bastion. It's like, sure, we'll just fly away. He's got another formage just a 02:30:14.720 --> 02:30:18.800 moment oh you've got to run Kevster you've got to run like dangerously low 02:30:18.800 --> 02:30:24.200 and there is the turret form is he is it gonna be a taxi gets a couple of kills 02:30:24.200 --> 02:30:28.000 here maybe couple of them sent towards the ice no but they trade shoe for Kevster 02:30:28.000 --> 02:30:31.560 so lack of healing now so only violence so can't pay attention permanently tonight 02:30:31.560 --> 02:30:36.040 but now are into getting focused down by psycho level three beam ripping through 02:30:36.040 --> 02:30:41.240 that armor as far as pro making their stand fix it gets shot down by proper 02:30:41.240 --> 02:30:43.660 sure, but they've still got a tank on the point. 02:30:43.660 --> 02:30:47.200 Saiko on the Symmetra as well is doing such a good job being able to tread through the 02:30:47.200 --> 02:30:51.400 Arista's defences, even though Fixer is not there with the rest of the team, you've got 02:30:51.400 --> 02:30:54.280 the Sim wall to be able to give you that additional level of cover. 02:30:54.280 --> 02:30:56.320 And speaking of addition, Kevster's on the cast. 02:30:56.320 --> 02:30:59.640 Alright, Ravenous Vortex is going to hold the approach here of Bernard, but proper walls 02:30:59.640 --> 02:31:01.240 up there for the touch. 02:31:01.240 --> 02:31:05.720 Rush comes in, knife goes down, Kevster back on the cast, like you mentioned, and with 02:31:05.720 --> 02:31:10.600 this Nemesis form into the annihilation, Ice Nerm can basically be a one-man army on 02:31:10.600 --> 02:31:15.480 the points. It could be a tough here for Xenia Division. They can't map Psycho, sure, but 02:31:15.480 --> 02:31:18.560 he's actually enough from Violet. There's still too many ults here, it feels like a 02:31:18.560 --> 02:31:23.960 Virtus Pro. Annihilation gets popped, proper end of going down, shoot to follow. Virtus 02:31:23.960 --> 02:31:29.120 Pro, great, a second here. Two points back to back, 100 to 0. 02:31:29.120 --> 02:31:34.120 Oh, Xenia Division, they risked it for the biscuit, shoot, use the rush in that fight 02:31:34.120 --> 02:31:37.400 as opposed to the next ball in the way. Actually, agree that one away. 02:31:37.400 --> 02:31:41.520 of saving info for us fighting this next one. You could have used that rush advantage to 02:31:41.520 --> 02:31:45.640 be able to play into the Virtus.Pro soundbara, but now you don't have it and you have to 02:31:45.640 --> 02:31:48.480 worry about the dead IT. 02:31:48.480 --> 02:31:54.840 Just a monumental throw honestly from the veteran. Well here comes the cat-bashing again. 02:31:54.840 --> 02:32:00.280 High noon. Psycho still trying to test him. My friend he can't move here as well. He has 02:32:00.280 --> 02:32:04.040 to stay grounded right now out of the way of that high noon as they try and collapse 02:32:04.040 --> 02:32:08.760 on Bernard, the entire team is teleporting onto this Orisa. Point has been unlocked, 02:32:08.760 --> 02:32:11.800 Bernard's got the Terrasurge proper with the pulse, they're going to go in, but Fixen's 02:32:11.800 --> 02:32:19.680 still got the beat, knife, hound you down, as Kevster does not miss. Beat onto 5, VP, 02:32:19.680 --> 02:32:22.440 making this map look easy. 02:32:22.440 --> 02:32:27.880 Landon's bolt up rush in that fight as well. Bernard's off of the Orisa, going for the 02:32:27.880 --> 02:32:31.160 Diva instead, wants to be able to get into that backline, wants to be able to put pressure 02:32:31.160 --> 02:32:34.940 on this Cassidy as well because Kevster just used the Deli to be able to hold the space 02:32:34.940 --> 02:32:38.560 against the Bastion Cat already 53% to the next one. 02:32:38.560 --> 02:32:43.600 Talk about getting back up stronger after that first map, you're thinking, wow, today 02:32:43.600 --> 02:32:46.840 we're going to destroy here, even that first point in this one, like insane. 02:32:46.840 --> 02:32:47.840 Look at the rush! 02:32:47.840 --> 02:32:50.640 Landon's about to have the rush up, they did a vision, they can't walk onto the point, 02:32:50.640 --> 02:32:52.360 if they go too deep, they're just probably rushing to them. 02:32:52.360 --> 02:32:55.840 They forced Suzu, Landon instantly hits the rush, proper, and the backline still got a 02:32:55.840 --> 02:32:59.040 recall, has to use it, but his pulse gets eaten. 02:32:59.040 --> 02:33:02.800 just end up going down. More to barrage. I mean, it doesn't really get too much 02:33:02.800 --> 02:33:06.480 clear to point, I suppose, but Pena's been de-mech by the silver bullet. 02:33:06.480 --> 02:33:08.720 And Virtus Pro looking like they're going to win this map. 02:33:08.720 --> 02:33:12.640 Proper down, Shu dead. Virtus Pro dominating Zayda Division. 02:33:12.640 --> 02:33:19.120 There's one more fight, and Shu went down late in that one as well, so they get one chance, one rush. 02:33:19.120 --> 02:33:23.520 Virtus Pro going to just use the Ted Eye and try and put the pressure onto Zayda to make it. 02:33:23.520 --> 02:33:23.840 Oh, that was close. 02:33:23.840 --> 02:33:27.760 They can get the flashbang onto proper and stop the trace from getting past so Zayda 02:33:27.760 --> 02:33:31.580 don't have a player to touch that can be huge he's gonna have to read he's 02:33:31.580 --> 02:33:39.880 recalled already you get the kill proper but you don't get the point 02:33:39.880 --> 02:33:45.920 parties probably the map win a dominant three points at the very end 02:33:45.920 --> 02:33:50.640 saving division had their number on that point one but two three and four cast I 02:33:50.640 --> 02:33:55.960 don't know what smash said to VP there during that map wonder to mat 2 break but 02:33:55.960 --> 02:33:59.880 But it worked wonders. VP take a map off of Zeta of all people. 02:33:59.880 --> 02:34:04.280 It's the Cassidy. Like, Cassidy goes onto the Cassidy and all of a sudden, like, you're 02:34:04.280 --> 02:34:08.080 seeing so much more pressure on the bastion, so much more pressure on the cap, the tank 02:34:08.080 --> 02:34:12.160 as well. They have to swap off of the Orisa. They don't get to use the SimTP to get knifed 02:34:12.160 --> 02:34:17.440 into really egregious off-angle positions for VP to have to deal with. And they actually 02:34:17.440 --> 02:34:19.640 start determining the tempo too. 02:34:19.640 --> 02:34:25.440 20 and 5 from Cassidy. Yeah, that Cassidy. It's like, whoa, it was pretty good yesterday. 02:34:25.440 --> 02:34:30.920 Yeah, oh, yeah by how much 300 little bit of extra damage. Yeah, that was 02:34:31.880 --> 02:34:36.760 Like a kind of a return to form for say they're like hey, we want to play the cat bashing now 02:34:36.760 --> 02:34:40.120 Like that's what we crushed you with on control. It's like well actually 02:34:40.920 --> 02:34:44.720 Kept on the custody this map is what we talked about before yeah 02:34:44.720 --> 02:34:50.240 Kind of perfect against the cat bashing because there aren't too many points where you can play around these big 02:34:50.240 --> 02:34:53.540 buildings for cover and it's a little bit quicker as well. 02:34:53.540 --> 02:34:58.160 Well Zeta also had a few funbles in terms of like going for those ults. The fact that 02:34:58.160 --> 02:35:02.800 they were still committed to taking some of those fights and using things like the rush 02:35:02.800 --> 02:35:07.080 when you could potentially play it a little bit safer had one sided rush to be able to 02:35:07.080 --> 02:35:11.560 fully go into that first fight on the third point and deny the cast from having that space 02:35:11.560 --> 02:35:15.560 because Virtus.Pro just took advantage. They knew if we used Dead Eye, they used Rush 02:35:15.560 --> 02:35:19.580 in the last fight, you can't use it aggressively against Kevstar. You can just sit with the 02:35:19.580 --> 02:35:24.980 dead eye for the entire duration to stop knife to stop violet from doing what they want and 02:35:24.980 --> 02:35:28.580 then once the cat bastion are ready to go in to make a move you've already forced burn 02:35:28.580 --> 02:35:33.660 us so low that he has to use terrorism just for the extra frames of fortified strain survive. 02:35:33.660 --> 02:35:43.300 Hold up. This Cassidy this fire? Like I mean this is one of the points too where like yeah 02:35:43.300 --> 02:35:48.380 you're not dying if you're ice too then as soon as knife ends up going turret mode and 02:35:48.380 --> 02:36:07.380 And then well, okay, now we have to back off a little bit like Violet can kind of a slingshot me away ice can survive so long with normal form shield nemesis form has the annihilation like he's just rolling these cool down just so often it's like you can't get him off the point even if your knife on bastion in the sky like it's so tough. 02:36:07.380 --> 02:36:09.380 Yeah, a very good map from VP. 02:36:09.380 --> 02:36:16.380 I mean, but I don't expect many people thinking VP had taken a map off of Zed of vision less in this fashion either. 02:36:16.380 --> 02:36:20.520 I mean, they did such a good job too because that was Rematra with Kyroko Lucio heals. 02:36:20.520 --> 02:36:26.080 So the moment that Bastion actually gets to start turning that burst damage onto the Ramon, you don't have your cooldowns. 02:36:26.080 --> 02:36:31.120 Because the Bastion has that camp mobility, you can very easily move around the Rematra's static shield. 02:36:31.120 --> 02:36:35.760 So the fact that he was able to stay alive for that long and then you forced Burnar onto the Orisa to counter it, 02:36:35.760 --> 02:36:37.420 but that played perfectly into Psycho. 02:36:37.420 --> 02:36:44.000 With the Sim you saw there in the replays, every Javelin's fin used defensively, just eating through with the Sim's primary. 02:36:44.000 --> 02:36:49.000 Riyato is the map pick for Zeta, Mizuki is one, it's one I'm thinking about. 02:36:49.000 --> 02:36:56.000 Yeah, Mizuki, also potential for out of like the cat with the environmental potentials of just like taking you into the drink. 02:36:56.000 --> 02:36:58.000 So they're going to be able to beat the bands. 02:36:58.000 --> 02:37:03.000 Yeah, I mean VP have the band second here, so because they don't have the first band, there is a... 02:37:03.000 --> 02:37:04.000 And they already banned Mizuki. 02:37:04.000 --> 02:37:07.000 Yeah, there's an option to protect the cabash if you need to. 02:37:07.000 --> 02:37:13.000 Exactly, you can go for a band here on the support so that they then can't target the cat. 02:37:13.000 --> 02:37:20.840 that. Which could be huge 02:37:20.840 --> 02:37:22.840 because as we said VP they 02:37:22.840 --> 02:37:24.840 already burned that band on the 02:37:24.840 --> 02:37:26.840 Muzuki. So no matter what 02:37:26.840 --> 02:37:28.840 happens, Muzuki makes it through 02:37:28.840 --> 02:37:30.840 even if you don't go for a 02:37:30.840 --> 02:37:32.840 support will save. Tough 02:37:32.840 --> 02:37:34.840 decisions ahead for Zayac 02:37:34.840 --> 02:37:36.840 division. I think you bank 02:37:36.840 --> 02:37:38.840 cast. I think the highlight 02:37:38.840 --> 02:37:40.840 good. Yeah, they do. I think 02:37:40.840 --> 02:37:42.840 you bank cast because then 02:37:42.840 --> 02:37:52.840 that. You can just use it on 02:37:52.840 --> 02:37:54.840 another game type. Exactly 02:37:54.840 --> 02:37:56.840 hybrid. See we have push as 02:37:56.840 --> 02:37:58.840 well. So. All right, let's see 02:37:58.840 --> 02:38:00.840 what they want to do. Get the 02:38:00.840 --> 02:38:02.840 bands in just a moment seems to 02:38:02.840 --> 02:38:04.840 discuss and make sure they're 02:38:04.840 --> 02:38:06.840 fully locked in. But Zeta. Wow. 02:38:06.840 --> 02:38:07.840 I mean, I was thinking coming 02:38:07.840 --> 02:38:09.840 in like, okay, Zeta, they went 02:38:09.840 --> 02:38:10.840 here. It's going to be a 02:38:10.840 --> 02:38:15.280 entirely too, because this was the number two seed of EMEA, and when we were looking 02:38:15.280 --> 02:38:20.960 at the EMEA group stages, the divide gap between Twisted Minds and Virtus.Pro was monumental, 02:38:20.960 --> 02:38:23.680 I think is the best way to describe it, as we can have a look and see. 02:38:23.680 --> 02:38:26.320 Ice Nom, we were talking about Bernard coming on for the four devs. 02:38:26.320 --> 02:38:33.960 Ice Nom is able to excel past that with only two on the Rematra of all things. 02:38:33.960 --> 02:38:38.880 And with Ram, like we said, with Kirikou Lucio, when Rematra first released, teams tried 02:38:38.880 --> 02:38:42.880 to make it work with the Kiriko Lucio and it just got overwhelmed. You might as well 02:38:42.880 --> 02:38:46.800 be trying to heal with tissue paper for the amount of good that the Kirikos are 02:38:46.800 --> 02:38:50.940 doing instead, keeping the ramp up. So many players had to go for the bat for the 02:38:50.940 --> 02:38:55.720 ball or the Moira Avenue for the rush. Okay, I'm seeing it on the screen. It's not 02:38:55.720 --> 02:38:59.880 on the lower third yet, but Kiriko Pan. There we go. Kiriko, for Zeta, 02:38:59.880 --> 02:39:07.120 protecting a support. Boom, VP, Van Tracer. Interesting. So maybe that's 02:39:07.120 --> 02:39:12.840 trying. If we do see the Cap Ashton, we could see the Reaper come through instead, but then 02:39:12.840 --> 02:39:16.360 that falls off if you're not playing like the Malga composition, plus by banning the 02:39:16.360 --> 02:39:20.640 Tracer. You don't have to worry about your backline as much. Much, much safer. You don't 02:39:20.640 --> 02:39:21.640 have to win the Jules. 02:39:21.640 --> 02:39:25.360 You can go the Ana here as well, which has got a lot of teams are playing like initially, 02:39:25.360 --> 02:39:28.680 they're mixing the Ana a little bit, so, and you have one of the best to ever do it, in 02:39:28.680 --> 02:39:32.040 Chu. So, Chu, Ana, and then Violet on the Cap. 02:39:32.040 --> 02:39:36.640 Yeah, I think it's really smart to, in a reaction to the early Kiriko ban, because like Ana can't 02:39:36.640 --> 02:39:42.080 win the 1v1 against the Tracer as consistently as the Kiriko, which was something that we 02:39:42.080 --> 02:39:47.280 were seeing happening on Lighthouse earlier on Elios. So it's very much a case of like, 02:39:47.280 --> 02:39:52.160 you let one team ban to read out whether wanting to run their composition, and then when you know, 02:39:52.160 --> 02:39:56.400 okay, this has created a weakness in our composition, you take the out second. 02:39:58.720 --> 02:40:03.920 But we're headed into Rialto now. It's still one apiece, so we're guaranteed at least two 02:40:03.920 --> 02:40:09.760 more maps. I can't believe we're saying that Virtus.Pro versus Team Zeta Division is the 02:40:09.760 --> 02:40:16.480 closer map so far today, but Virtus.Pro are looking on absolute fire. Kestis cast makes 02:40:16.480 --> 02:40:21.920 it through a band lane yet again. I'm here for it. Didn't the crowd is here too? 02:40:23.200 --> 02:40:27.040 Mentioned before, a lot of Zeta Division fans in the crowd here in the chance, but there's VP 02:40:27.040 --> 02:40:33.760 fans in there as well making their voices heard as we get into this third map. We're headed 02:40:33.760 --> 02:40:40.320 to Rialto, a Kiriban for Zeta, opening up the field here for Arna and Kat. 02:40:51.920 --> 02:40:56.320 And there it is. On the attack, at least hovering it right now, but we're seeing, 02:40:56.320 --> 02:41:01.360 oh, this is an Elclacico from Landon. Jumping on the bab. 02:41:01.360 --> 02:41:03.360 that's the true surprise, right? 02:41:03.360 --> 02:41:05.360 We're seeing the diva with the 02:41:05.360 --> 02:41:07.360 bat, not the Sigma, not the 02:41:07.360 --> 02:41:09.360 Orissa and not the rematch with 02:41:09.360 --> 02:41:11.360 the most stable anchor tank to 02:41:11.360 --> 02:41:13.360 usually require a little bit more burst healing 02:41:13.360 --> 02:41:15.360 coming on through with the 02:41:15.360 --> 02:41:17.360 Baptiste with the immortality field. 02:41:17.360 --> 02:41:19.360 That did get buffed. The region is 02:41:19.360 --> 02:41:21.360 massively like much higher in 02:41:21.360 --> 02:41:23.360 terms of take as well as the cooldown coming 02:41:23.360 --> 02:41:25.360 on out. But keep your eye on 02:41:25.360 --> 02:41:27.360 Kavsta on the Kassi. Like ice being on the diva 02:41:27.360 --> 02:41:29.360 means we've got disruption potential 02:41:29.360 --> 02:41:34.240 being able to keep the bashing cat in check, and create space for Kevster to just click heads. 02:41:36.000 --> 02:41:42.240 All right, what DPS are we going to see from proper knife, bashing, and proper on the May instead? 02:41:42.240 --> 02:41:48.000 So it is going to be the Arna cat backline. I mean, the May is going to be able to put a lot of 02:41:48.000 --> 02:41:51.600 pressure onto ice as well. You don't have to worry about defense matrix, the primary just eats through 02:41:51.600 --> 02:41:55.200 it. You've got defense matrix to eat the blizzard, but here's the wrapper right from 9! 02:41:55.200 --> 02:41:57.540 RIPHA is crazy. 02:41:57.540 --> 02:41:59.700 Okay, they're gonna be able to force people for high ground, 02:41:59.700 --> 02:42:01.140 it keeps them already rolled off. 02:42:01.140 --> 02:42:04.500 70p has to come through to get him back onto the high ground, 02:42:04.500 --> 02:42:07.000 I step onto the low ground to keep the car contested. 02:42:07.000 --> 02:42:07.540 He's going again. 02:42:07.540 --> 02:42:08.700 And he's pushed them off again. 02:42:08.700 --> 02:42:09.340 They're going again. 02:42:09.340 --> 02:42:12.100 They just keep wrapping around this high ground 02:42:12.100 --> 02:42:16.100 and fixes the one caught on the rotation by knife. 02:42:16.100 --> 02:42:18.640 This is such a horrible comp to play into. 02:42:18.640 --> 02:42:21.800 Ice no need like four matrixes surrounding himself 02:42:21.800 --> 02:42:24.340 to like cover every possible angle. 02:42:24.340 --> 02:42:26.180 Nice first fight win there for Zeta. 02:42:26.180 --> 02:42:28.820 I love this fight because since you have the melee, 02:42:28.820 --> 02:42:31.260 D.Va's not going to be playing point statically, right? 02:42:31.260 --> 02:42:33.900 The bashing cat also not going to be playing point statically. 02:42:33.900 --> 02:42:37.300 So what you have with the melee who's much more tanky with the cooldowns and the wall, 02:42:37.300 --> 02:42:40.740 you can have proper be much more anchored on the point itself, 02:42:40.740 --> 02:42:43.020 and you can play just push, but as for off of the angles. 02:42:43.020 --> 02:42:44.180 Got a bit of an eased nades as well. 02:42:44.180 --> 02:42:45.300 Another thing to kind of keep in mind, 02:42:45.300 --> 02:42:48.340 but I just got so much to kind of work for right now. 02:42:48.340 --> 02:42:50.140 Nice little turret there, it's going to force knife away, 02:42:50.140 --> 02:42:52.580 but it can just dip straight back over. 02:42:52.580 --> 02:42:57.380 And this may is going to be a problem too for proper, but Nais, the first one to go down though for all people. 02:42:57.380 --> 02:43:00.980 Lazy, then obviously playing on the point like this, you are very vulnerable to sim. 02:43:00.980 --> 02:43:04.280 Sure though, with the nano boost, could potentially come through onto knife, 02:43:04.280 --> 02:43:08.880 but Zeta, with the kills going against them, likely going to throw the towel into this fight, 02:43:08.880 --> 02:43:10.580 and just have the defense for a second. 02:43:10.580 --> 02:43:15.880 Yeah, you can't really kill the Katbash in here either, like it's so tricky to actually lock them down. 02:43:15.880 --> 02:43:18.680 So they're going to be in this formation this whole time. 02:43:18.680 --> 02:43:26.480 Zeta, going to be looking for the regroup. Knife coming on through off of this side yet again, which means that Virtus.Pro's attention split. They can't punish the court. You're cross. 02:43:26.480 --> 02:43:31.880 You're in the small rooms as well. It's kind of crazy. Yeah, you can't punish the brush. You can't back out to the bridge. 02:43:31.880 --> 02:43:37.280 Teleport comes in. Well, there's the drive-by again. He's in, he's out, and Kevster gets knocked down. 02:43:37.280 --> 02:43:43.380 A window doesn't come in through, but Vanarkin's in front of it, and even they use the wall to stop any of that damage coming through. 02:43:43.380 --> 02:43:49.620 No heals onto Ice Stone, self-destruct on the point, but it's an easy little kill for Violet, 02:43:49.620 --> 02:43:55.620 as this point is getting away from VP fast. A beat coming in for Fixer? I mean, 02:43:55.620 --> 02:43:59.940 straight into the blizzard? I mean, that is done so for VP on that point. 02:43:59.940 --> 02:44:03.860 Yeah, now you don't have Sandbarra for the next one. At least you have this in wall, 02:44:03.860 --> 02:44:08.260 to be able to stop Burner's self-destruct or the Dead Eye to try and take Zedas Division's 02:44:08.260 --> 02:44:12.020 space back off. But the fact that Shu even used the nanobooth defensively onto Burner, 02:44:12.020 --> 02:44:15.700 They knew what they wanted to do and it was shut Landon's opportunity down with the amp. 02:44:15.700 --> 02:44:19.700 They've already been able to take the high ground away too, which means Hela, the payload's moving for absolute free. 02:44:20.500 --> 02:44:28.580 Thank you very much. Oh, on this high ground too. Landon is 1 HP by the way. Oh, and it's all banar all day in the high ground. 02:44:28.580 --> 02:44:34.980 You've either got to push into that May in the D.Va, or you've got to pay attention to the cat fashion. 02:44:34.980 --> 02:44:36.900 They chose the D.Va this time and they chose wrong. 02:44:36.900 --> 02:44:41.220 Yeah, and they're taking so much damage, but they're not channeling it into support all charts 02:44:41.220 --> 02:44:46.340 because the kills are coming through so quick so fast. So Landon, you'll have an amplification matrix 02:44:46.340 --> 02:44:51.060 in the next fight but it's not good to go for now. She will have a nanobus that will likely go on 02:44:51.060 --> 02:44:55.380 to burn our unless it's used to engage on the knife. And how do you do this? How do you deal with 02:44:55.380 --> 02:44:59.860 this if you're a bonus pro? Well they've popped the sim wall at least so knife's going to be a 02:44:59.860 --> 02:45:03.780 little less of a pain in the arse. Well I'm landing on the high ground it's going to have this 02:45:03.780 --> 02:45:08.260 baptised window soon but Zedavision respected they end up backing up. I mean if Landon uses the 02:45:08.260 --> 02:45:12.060 the amplification matrix and Zeta can just disengage it. They will. They've got so much 02:45:12.060 --> 02:45:16.060 time to be able to play with. They can make a replay back in with that. Nano, there's 02:45:16.060 --> 02:45:18.060 a comes knife with the flyby. 02:45:18.060 --> 02:45:21.060 Got a run, Capster. Land gets deployed. Window two, they're going to try and cross five. 02:45:21.060 --> 02:45:24.560 It's bashing down, but it's just not going to work. Look at that. Chasing landed down 02:45:24.560 --> 02:45:31.060 to Nano on knife. Oh my word. Virtus Pro right now, Moxie. Got to be honest. Handed a three 02:45:31.060 --> 02:45:35.860 question quiz about what colors are in the rainbow, and they can't name any one. Come 02:45:35.860 --> 02:45:36.860 on. 02:45:36.860 --> 02:45:42.460 You have to look to him with this defense matrix to shut the blizzard down, fix it and this does not have the same barrier. 02:45:42.460 --> 02:45:46.460 Zeta pick up the second checkpoint and we roll into third. 02:45:46.460 --> 02:45:50.260 The good news is for Virtus.Pro if they win one fight, they'll be able to slow the momentum down. 02:45:50.260 --> 02:45:52.760 The bad news is they had to use a mortality field just now. 02:45:52.760 --> 02:45:55.260 Prop has got the blizzard too. 02:45:55.260 --> 02:45:58.260 Teary barrage from Knife, straight on top of the point. 02:45:58.260 --> 02:46:01.060 Oh, Ice Stone. Tanks one of those in the face, but here's the drag. 02:46:01.060 --> 02:46:02.760 Self destruct perfectly used though. 02:46:02.760 --> 02:46:06.900 quite a height away from it. Manages to escape alive, proper not quite so lucky. 02:46:06.900 --> 02:46:11.080 Kevster eventually kind of coming alive on the Cassidy, but he ends up getting 02:46:11.080 --> 02:46:14.560 shut down by Pinar. It's going to be after a quick reset here for Sader Division. 02:46:14.560 --> 02:46:17.600 I haven't pushed it too far around this corner, but Virtus Pro, they still lost one. 02:46:17.600 --> 02:46:20.600 Yeah, but they hold long enough for Fixer to be able to come through the 02:46:20.600 --> 02:46:24.780 sandbarry to deal with proper's blizzards. So it's not quite the same one 02:46:24.780 --> 02:46:28.480 side of threat that it was before. A little bit of pressure coming out from 02:46:28.480 --> 02:46:31.520 proper, just building up the space, trying to force Virtus Pro closer, but 02:46:31.520 --> 02:46:34.560 you're likely not going to use the mail to be able to pop ice out of the mech. 02:46:36.400 --> 02:46:40.400 It's going to be a fairly trivial thing to do if you're having to touch this point constantly as well. 02:46:40.960 --> 02:46:45.680 Kevser, high noon. Always looking for this cat bastion, but the skulls really aren't built up, 02:46:45.680 --> 02:46:50.400 so it's only tickling a damage. A nice little silver bullet shot, though, on to buy it. It goes 02:46:50.400 --> 02:46:55.360 dangerously low. He's like one pip of health remaining, but they've managed to escape alive. 02:46:55.360 --> 02:47:01.260 the game. The game's length. 02:47:01.360 --> 02:47:03.260 She went up getting just crunched 02:47:03.360 --> 02:47:05.260 by Kevster nine four so four 02:47:05.360 --> 02:47:07.260 as Kevster gets three kills. 02:47:07.360 --> 02:47:09.260 Aiding with the window there did 02:47:09.360 --> 02:47:11.260 Landon reset for the baby Diva 02:47:11.360 --> 02:47:13.260 as Vardis Proma can they stand 02:47:13.360 --> 02:47:14.260 two minutes to go for say it 02:47:14.360 --> 02:47:15.260 though that was a very costly 02:47:15.360 --> 02:47:18.260 offer. Landon uses and fix it 02:47:18.360 --> 02:47:20.260 uses be in this same fight 02:47:20.360 --> 02:47:22.260 profits still been holding this 02:47:22.360 --> 02:47:23.260 blizzard by the way, which 02:47:23.260 --> 02:47:26.980 blizzard by the way, which speaks volumes to the fact that ice has been able to hold 02:47:26.980 --> 02:47:31.900 onto the neck and speaking about holding, knife is being held and Violet's paws and 02:47:31.900 --> 02:47:35.420 Virtus Pro have to be able to deal with the Bastion flyby yet again. 02:47:35.420 --> 02:47:39.740 Kev's is playing so far back to stop this Bastion over the top. 02:47:39.740 --> 02:47:44.180 Well there he comes, Kev's to get safe though, that's a lamp, a wall and a matrix to try 02:47:44.180 --> 02:47:47.740 and save Kevster and he's granted them a kill. 02:47:47.740 --> 02:47:52.380 They got the cap, they got Violet at early which means when knife gets dropped and Virtus 02:47:52.380 --> 02:47:55.820 pro's backline, he does not have the cat to be able to disengage safely. 02:47:55.820 --> 02:47:59.380 I'm looking for more exit kills here onto proper who does have the ice block. 02:47:59.380 --> 02:48:00.780 Will that block enough? 02:48:00.780 --> 02:48:02.540 And ice has to be all over the place! 02:48:02.540 --> 02:48:04.380 What an unbelievable ante from Shude. 02:48:04.380 --> 02:48:08.100 Stops furthest bro collapsing on proper further after that ice block. 02:48:08.100 --> 02:48:11.460 There is still this blizzard in his back pocket, there's a minute or so to go. 02:48:11.460 --> 02:48:13.900 Nade kills Fixer, no more speed for VP. 02:48:13.900 --> 02:48:16.260 They're gonna have to play this one cautiously. 02:48:16.260 --> 02:48:18.700 Bernard uses the self-destruct too, so even though you lose the map 02:48:18.700 --> 02:48:21.660 because they picked the Lucio, they still get to commit to the fight. 02:48:21.660 --> 02:48:28.180 And now Propok can use this Blizzard with almost impunity, play on these corners, get the DMEC, and then you can win the fight, win the point. 02:48:28.180 --> 02:48:34.420 Just off of this Blizzard, there it is, round the corner, and it connects with Vixxer, couldn't get to the TP in time. 02:48:34.420 --> 02:48:41.080 So they've lost one player already and Landis also super low, pops the window to aven the healing and damage output, but Nife has got Nanoed again. 02:48:41.080 --> 02:48:44.960 Kephz is on the sidelines, they cannot stand up to the force, Nife is putting out. 02:48:44.960 --> 02:48:50.220 Teleport Bomb does not do enough for VP to hold on to this fight. 02:48:50.220 --> 02:48:56.020 Artillery strike is there for knife, but Virtus Pro have to close the respawns, ice is back in the neck 02:48:56.020 --> 02:49:00.460 Vix is about to get the sound barrier, we're headed to the last fight territory, Zeta have to find an opening 02:49:00.460 --> 02:49:04.660 But they don't have good engagement ultimates, they can't break against the Cassidy right now 02:49:04.660 --> 02:49:08.780 Yeah, this beat coming up in 10% as well from Fixer, it's gonna have to be clutch 02:49:08.900 --> 02:49:12.380 He's earning this so fast with the amount of poke damage coming in, he's just about got it 02:49:12.380 --> 02:49:16.260 He's got the beat and Zeta Division because he's playing it off, they can't get the catmash in the fight 02:49:16.260 --> 02:49:17.940 He's racing, and she's already gone down. 02:49:17.940 --> 02:49:20.420 It's a 5v4 now with 8 beats. 02:49:20.420 --> 02:49:22.180 Ice has been frozen in the backline, 02:49:22.180 --> 02:49:25.260 but Knife eliminates Kevster, but they've traded each other. 02:49:25.260 --> 02:49:27.540 These spawns are going to be so good for VP. 02:49:27.540 --> 02:49:29.660 Ice Thome just needs to live. 02:49:29.660 --> 02:49:31.180 My tank just needs to live on this point. 02:49:31.180 --> 02:49:33.140 And he's just about done and done it. 02:49:33.140 --> 02:49:35.180 A double kill for Ice Thome. 02:49:35.180 --> 02:49:39.940 As far as pro, he refused to give Saita Division that third point. 02:49:39.940 --> 02:49:44.580 The bashing cat was so problematic on the first and second 02:49:44.580 --> 02:49:49.140 of Rialto, but the moment we headed indoors and they were able to drain the momentum, 02:49:49.140 --> 02:49:54.020 Scout, when the cat was looking to drop the basket into the back line, so many people 02:49:54.020 --> 02:49:58.380 turned and looked at Knife, the Sim wall as well, being able to stop the momentum, because 02:49:58.380 --> 02:50:02.420 literally if you're playing 5 vs 5 and you have two players taking the attention of free 02:50:02.420 --> 02:50:05.540 people, that then creates disparity on the front line, right? 02:50:05.540 --> 02:50:08.980 So you can just brute force your front line to walk forward, free versus two, but they 02:50:08.980 --> 02:50:13.020 don't get the opportunity to do that because of the Sim wall coming into play. 02:50:13.020 --> 02:50:19.020 they dig their heels in, they find their reserves, and they hold Zeta off from a full push. 02:50:23.020 --> 02:50:29.020 Now the defense has happened to lock in a comp here fairly early, and it looks like it's just going to be the cat-bashing. 02:50:31.020 --> 02:50:36.020 A bit of a nicer time too for Shu though, being able to play super far back. 02:50:36.020 --> 02:50:42.020 Very hard for Virtus.Pro to kind of jump on Shu at any moment, so we'll see how proper Umpanar set up for this. 02:50:42.020 --> 02:50:47.180 set up for this no surprise here just gonna be hanging around in this first 02:50:47.180 --> 02:50:50.900 little bit of high ground but you saw where she was he was like he's he's all 02:50:50.900 --> 02:50:55.300 the way back and you don't get punished as much in this round for having the 02:50:55.300 --> 02:50:59.300 Anna that far isolated from the rest of the team because they're just pro they 02:50:59.300 --> 02:51:03.540 banned the tracer so you don't have someone to split off from the main fight 02:51:03.540 --> 02:51:08.240 and go mark the Anna you're not healing for people you're healing to his knife 02:51:08.240 --> 02:51:10.940 I'm not even violent at doing whatever they want themselves. 02:51:11.740 --> 02:51:15.440 Pixel with the Mercy damage boost, just for Kervster to try and find an opening pick, 02:51:15.440 --> 02:51:18.240 but it only finds the D, the Mack, before he's forced to the cast. 02:51:20.740 --> 02:51:21.540 Looking him go! 02:51:21.940 --> 02:51:23.040 Weeeee! 02:51:24.840 --> 02:51:27.740 Right, they're kind of disorientating to kind of aim in a way. 02:51:28.440 --> 02:51:31.340 Well, they've actually forced them off the angle at least for Kervster, luckily. 02:51:32.140 --> 02:51:34.540 Because using this TP to close the distance, no Tracer, but... 02:51:34.940 --> 02:51:35.840 ...Sim does... 02:51:36.340 --> 02:51:37.440 ...a decent job of that. 02:51:37.440 --> 02:51:41.140 Perfect into the diva too, like Bernard has to be the one trying to throw like this cart 02:51:41.140 --> 02:51:43.140 And then goes a little bit low 02:51:43.140 --> 02:51:43.940 Ooh, little fakie 02:51:43.940 --> 02:51:45.140 And has to boost straight away 02:51:45.140 --> 02:51:48.140 Little fakie actually grabbed that corner there too, his knife goes dangerously low 02:51:48.640 --> 02:51:53.140 Lot of matrix coming in for Bernard, even a wall too committed by Prop to make sure he stays up 02:51:53.940 --> 02:51:56.540 They've given so much ground though, they've lost corner, they've lost high ground 02:51:56.540 --> 02:51:59.840 VirtusPro can just hold Zeta Division hostage to the actual point 02:51:59.840 --> 02:52:01.340 Oh, that's a good throw though 02:52:01.340 --> 02:52:02.640 Almost a perfect kill 02:52:02.940 --> 02:52:04.540 Fixed his dirty healing output right now 02:52:04.940 --> 02:52:05.940 Tyrant low for knife 02:52:05.940 --> 02:52:09.780 It's too much longer than ice, unfortunately. It looks like it's going to be a reset. 02:52:09.780 --> 02:52:10.280 Yeah. 02:52:10.280 --> 02:52:14.660 There you go. Oh, he actually gets the credit for ice in there, boops him off the map in his mag. 02:52:14.660 --> 02:52:17.500 That's a good chunk of all charge as well. 02:52:18.000 --> 02:52:25.100 Violet's about to get Catnap on line two, and Goethe's probably don't have anything to really prevent one of that players from being grabbed. 02:52:25.500 --> 02:52:30.340 As it's going to be reliant yet again on these simtipes, they're picking good from Psycho, like you said, baiting Bernard, 02:52:30.340 --> 02:52:32.900 forcing the D.Va to have to boost backstrike and push people off of here. 02:52:32.900 --> 02:52:36.340 You're very low to the ground. You're very low to the ground, Knight. 02:52:36.340 --> 02:52:41.100 Oh, and pilot gets chased down too. Way over-eager, it felt like that. 02:52:41.100 --> 02:52:46.100 Just holds too close, and a knife over extends into Vertus Pro's spaces, 02:52:46.100 --> 02:52:49.100 and that's a really cheap fight win. No ultimate cost required. 02:52:49.100 --> 02:52:53.100 In fact, worse for Zeta Division, it bulls Vertus Pro's all plank up. 02:52:53.100 --> 02:52:55.100 And Nanook can just pop window down. 02:52:55.100 --> 02:52:56.100 Why is Dettai? 02:52:56.100 --> 02:52:59.100 Oh, okay. I mean, stalling for a bit of extra time. 02:52:59.100 --> 02:53:01.100 I don't think it's going to even be a touch. Just... 02:53:01.100 --> 02:53:06.280 Oh, well, there is a touch, but Violet got instantly deleted. 02:53:06.280 --> 02:53:12.180 And then the 7TP as well, because you're trying to use that touch to get Zeta Division's players back up onto the high ground, 02:53:12.180 --> 02:53:17.880 so that Virtus.Pro don't just get to pick up the first checkpoint and then take the high ground to get all of that free cart push, 02:53:17.880 --> 02:53:23.020 but they've got the 7TP, so even though Zeta Division tried to get their players onto the high ground position, 02:53:23.020 --> 02:53:26.180 Psycho just makes sure the ice can push them out of it. 02:53:26.180 --> 02:53:28.940 She with the nanoboost though, cannot open up this engagement. 02:53:28.940 --> 02:53:31.260 Virtus.pro, they've got the amp, but they didn't just go faster. 02:53:31.260 --> 02:53:33.900 That nail looks so funny flying from that far away. 02:53:34.580 --> 02:53:38.500 Everybody in the corner right now for Virtus.pro, apart from that diva. 02:53:38.700 --> 02:53:40.300 Oh, here comes Banar. They end up walling off. 02:53:40.300 --> 02:53:41.660 Look at that window he uses too. 02:53:41.660 --> 02:53:45.660 They're going to teleport to escape as well, so they're not in any immediate danger. 02:53:45.660 --> 02:53:47.780 But it's actually night that ends up going down first. 02:53:47.780 --> 02:53:49.780 Banar cannot stay around here. 02:53:49.780 --> 02:53:53.020 A shoe gets collapsed on by ice, and that was probably just a solo kill. 02:53:53.020 --> 02:53:57.320 This is something we saw from Virtus.Pro yesterday against WBG when they had the Bastion gap. 02:53:57.320 --> 02:54:02.020 They just hid in small rooms and forced the Bastion to be in a position where he can't follow up. 02:54:02.020 --> 02:54:05.620 Shoe knows Amplification Matrix, but yet again they try to go for the defensive now 02:54:05.620 --> 02:54:09.520 and boost onto Burnout to stay in front and go for the defense matrix. 02:54:09.520 --> 02:54:14.820 But Landon's already 50% to the next one and proper is on to the venture. 02:54:16.020 --> 02:54:21.120 Alright, War's gonna come in. First up, gonna have to stop Knife at some point. 02:54:21.120 --> 02:54:27.240 that's a good tool to do it, but unfortunately they lose the ice known first self-destruct as a proper goes down to fix 02:54:27.240 --> 02:54:30.680 But they've still done enough damage. They're training. It's got an awkward trade 02:54:30.680 --> 02:54:36.360 But yeah, the spawn is very very close saying it's fight versus the sim not advised for the diva 02:54:36.360 --> 02:54:38.920 But you've got the cat next to you for the heels 02:54:38.920 --> 02:54:42.520 So they clean up land and last which means the rest of Zaya group up 02:54:42.520 --> 02:54:48.560 I really want to see how Zated decide try and hold us like traditionally when you want to fight on realto second as the defense 02:54:48.560 --> 02:54:55.500 You can taxi tax approach over bridge, but because cycles on the same that is broken just blip right past it plus a division 02:54:55.500 --> 02:55:00.480 They're not really rich. They're just going to try and count on one with violets ultimate, but if you can't nothing 02:55:01.480 --> 02:55:05.520 What oh, but knife ends up killing two anyway on the rotation 02:55:06.680 --> 02:55:09.160 What an unbelievable play from knife their shoe 02:55:09.160 --> 02:55:14.160 I wouldn't say was baiting himself there at all for VP, but like hey that worked out 02:55:14.160 --> 02:55:19.160 Stupendously but it's a fast fight and it's one that birds brought don't commit alts to you 02:55:19.160 --> 02:55:21.700 So by coming into this next one double support all dead 02:55:21.700 --> 02:55:27.920 I potentially paired up with the same TP so burnout has to use the defense matrix and hold the neck for as long as possible 02:55:27.920 --> 02:55:32.540 Okay, so I could just get behind to kill everyone. There's the dead. I defense matrix coming on for my 02:55:32.540 --> 02:55:34.540 Sleeper 02:55:35.280 --> 02:55:37.880 So bad only a tickling of damage though 02:55:37.880 --> 02:55:41.920 It was the high ground control by knife right now has to be dealt with at some point 02:55:41.920 --> 02:55:43.920 but Shu ends up killing Kev's there anyway. 02:55:43.920 --> 02:55:48.920 Nice for staying alive for so long, but a D-Meg onto Permanah might help tilt the scales for Virtus.Pro, 02:55:48.920 --> 02:55:51.380 but all good, the baby even still got it, 02:55:51.380 --> 02:55:57.720 but Nahh ends up pistol-whipping Fixer and takes him out as proper, and keeps this fight alive. 02:55:57.720 --> 02:55:59.820 He's stalling, he's stalling with the Venture, 02:55:59.820 --> 02:56:04.520 Shu's going to be able to come back with the Nano Boost and proper and Violet together, 02:56:04.520 --> 02:56:07.220 just shut Virtus.Pro's potential down, 02:56:07.220 --> 02:56:10.220 and they hold the cart yet again on second, 02:56:10.220 --> 02:56:13.420 And that was the ult dump fight coming through from Virtus.pro. 02:56:13.420 --> 02:56:18.220 Now if they want to be able to get past, they have to deal with elbow grease and basic kit alone. 02:56:21.020 --> 02:56:24.300 They're gonna have war in a moment, 25% or so, but with only a minute to go, 02:56:24.300 --> 02:56:29.500 they can't afford to make any mistakes at this point with how long it takes you to regroup. 02:56:29.500 --> 02:56:32.780 They're still trying to hit that silver bullet, Teleport ends up coming into this high ground, 02:56:32.780 --> 02:56:35.580 just trying to dissuade Shu from playing any type of aggressive. 02:56:35.580 --> 02:56:39.580 A beautiful Nade, Shoe, Unreal! 02:56:39.580 --> 02:56:42.580 Insta-Kills Kevster, and that might have just done it. 02:56:42.580 --> 02:56:45.580 It is a quick fight, so it may be VP get another here, 02:56:45.580 --> 02:56:47.580 but they need to dial, they need to regroup quick. 02:56:47.580 --> 02:56:49.580 The problem for them is that Shoe has Nanobastion, 02:56:49.580 --> 02:56:52.580 so if they don't want to just start this fight fast on bridge 02:56:52.580 --> 02:56:56.580 with Nanobastion to prevent Virtus.Pro from actually getting onto the cart 02:56:56.580 --> 02:56:58.580 and hitting OT, they can't... 02:56:58.580 --> 02:57:00.580 Oh, that Nade is unreal! 02:57:00.580 --> 02:57:02.580 Shoe's lineups are insane! 02:57:02.580 --> 02:57:06.100 insane. Virtus.pro stalled out having to wait for the anti-tp run out. 02:57:06.100 --> 02:57:08.580 7TP comes on through, but she's still got the Nado. 02:57:08.580 --> 02:57:10.340 She's got the Nado and it's going to give it proper growth. 02:57:10.340 --> 02:57:13.380 She runs straight through them, turning them into fossils. 02:57:13.380 --> 02:57:15.380 Fixer ends up going down as well. 20 seconds to go. 02:57:15.380 --> 02:57:18.340 Landon's going to get anti-tp as well by 7 kills proper. 02:57:18.340 --> 02:57:21.780 So both TPS now down for data, and now Shoe is in trouble. 02:57:21.780 --> 02:57:23.220 He's done so much heavy lifting. 02:57:23.860 --> 02:57:26.020 About 240 bench, ain't quite there just yet. 02:57:26.580 --> 02:57:28.660 Kevster saves the day for VP. 02:57:28.660 --> 02:57:32.100 Yeah, but Virtus.pro not there on checkpoint just yet as well. 02:57:32.100 --> 02:57:38.240 Zeta can still potentially get a touch. You can see Ice trying to channel the high ground and proper gets the touch for the OT 02:57:38.380 --> 02:57:41.320 Zeta have one more chance. He's got the shock as well 02:57:41.320 --> 02:57:43.020 It's gonna be an artillery barrage too 02:57:43.020 --> 02:57:47.640 So so many holes to have to deal with now if your Zeta division a pop up from proper is gonna be deadly here 02:57:47.640 --> 02:57:51.900 Ketchum's got the dead eye in his sights, but he mentions to get away. I don't know how 02:57:52.740 --> 02:57:58.940 Iceman does chase him down though and in OT they get that second point skin of that youth 02:57:58.940 --> 02:58:05.420 But that's not a lot of time in the bank for Virtus.pro to get pretty much all the way through third. 02:58:05.420 --> 02:58:11.740 Worse for them, Zeta Division are about to come in with Nano Boost, and Bernard, he's had enough of the diva. 02:58:11.740 --> 02:58:16.060 He's thinking about going for the Zarya just to be able to beam on through, decides for the ram instead, 02:58:16.060 --> 02:58:21.020 so far range poke, but also a good shutdown potential, where things like the Vortex to slow. 02:58:21.020 --> 02:58:29.020 Nanno for Shu in 15% knife now off the passion has got sim instead to help with that front load of damage 02:58:29.020 --> 02:58:35.020 Do you think they put the nanobus onto banar and just send him in with Ram menace's form and pommel on through 02:58:35.020 --> 02:58:36.020 Vardisboar's front line? 02:58:36.020 --> 02:58:42.020 Possible, I mean yeah against something like Landon it's going to be very effective but that golden box victory is so close from this choke point 02:58:42.020 --> 02:58:47.020 Popper's wall could be quite annoying here for Vardisboar to kind of fight into 02:58:47.020 --> 02:58:51.020 There is going to be the next one, like you said, just straight down at the middle here, 02:58:51.020 --> 02:58:54.460 Psycho going dangerously low, 1 HP in fact is gone on, 02:58:54.460 --> 02:58:59.020 Swing and hits him over the head, there's 28 seconds to go and VP needs to retreat. 02:58:59.020 --> 02:59:01.520 No, Landon has to stay alive, he's got the amp! 02:59:01.520 --> 02:59:03.020 Zeta, that's it! 02:59:03.020 --> 02:59:09.020 Beget the bad late, there is no chance for Virtus Pro to be able to cleanly set up around this amplification matrix in the OT. 02:59:09.020 --> 02:59:12.520 Wait, wait, wait, wait, what is this? Knife over the top with the Sim? 02:59:12.520 --> 02:59:16.020 I mean, Vile's got Catnap, you can just use the Catnap onto Landon 02:59:16.020 --> 02:59:18.660 So that you deny the ultimate uptime for Virtus.pro. 02:59:18.660 --> 02:59:21.860 Yeah, as soon as that goes down, you know that countdown is coming in. 02:59:21.860 --> 02:59:25.460 While they're going to get a touch at the very least, it's going to be the D.Va that gets there in time. 02:59:25.460 --> 02:59:27.460 There's been our holds down the front line. 02:59:27.460 --> 02:59:28.980 The countdown's going to come in, can't you give the steal? 02:59:28.980 --> 02:59:31.300 The D.Va away through is just non-factor in the fight. 02:59:31.300 --> 02:59:34.900 OT ticking through, but look at the beam damage coming through for Nife right now. 02:59:34.900 --> 02:59:36.580 But our ends are going down, however. 02:59:36.580 --> 02:59:38.180 A savior, perhensually. 02:59:38.180 --> 02:59:40.580 Shoe hits a fat anti, but is it actually enough? 02:59:40.580 --> 02:59:43.460 Psycho-short, Ty shot the beam fully, tall. 02:59:43.460 --> 02:59:48.740 I find it rather, but Kevster is just letting waste of him. 02:59:48.740 --> 02:59:50.820 But she comes in again. 02:59:50.820 --> 02:59:54.820 It's only Vyla on the point, and the 1v1, but he's a very bad, 02:59:54.820 --> 02:59:59.380 another touch, a wall, nice, but ah, they've done it! 03:00:01.380 --> 03:00:05.940 Realchorey's nations, a nail-fighting end. 03:00:05.940 --> 03:00:14.900 Oh my goodness, it comes down to catch the try to get the dead eye off, panicking, probably 03:00:14.900 --> 03:00:17.300 thinking, is she about to get sleep darted up? 03:00:17.300 --> 03:00:22.980 I have no defences, I have to just pop it now and hope that I do enough that my sim can 03:00:22.980 --> 03:00:27.660 follow on through, but the diva is still in play. 03:00:27.660 --> 03:00:33.980 And Bernard is able to use the boosters and push him off contesting the cart. 03:00:33.980 --> 03:00:40.380 It comes down to the absolute wire all of the time that Virtus.Pro lost on second point of Rielto. 03:00:40.380 --> 03:00:42.880 Comes back to haunt them on third. 03:00:43.780 --> 03:00:46.580 Look at this freakish stat line from Bernard. 03:00:47.080 --> 03:00:50.280 40 Elimps to nine deaths. 03:00:50.480 --> 03:00:55.980 Insane damage from Knife on the Bastion of course, but just an insane amount of Elimps. 03:00:56.480 --> 03:01:00.180 It feels like he was almost involved in every single kill at that point. 03:01:00.180 --> 03:01:01.980 I mean, Shoe32 assists. 03:01:01.980 --> 03:01:02.980 Oh 03:01:02.980 --> 03:01:08.700 No, it's they absolutely all those things it was like it's straight up the ante needs and what are even more impressive is the fact 03:01:08.700 --> 03:01:13.000 That like you're using them against diva who's there with things like defense matrix 03:01:13.000 --> 03:01:15.400 But because so many of them on second point will lineups 03:01:15.420 --> 03:01:21.740 You're not expecting the ante come through and here you have those specific times you have to matrix like every 03:01:21.840 --> 03:01:27.420 Door yeah, yeah every single door you're going through you have because of the aoe like those lineups 03:01:27.420 --> 03:01:33.120 You don't know if when you're trying to get out because with the bastion cat something else that we sort of don't really talk about 03:01:33.120 --> 03:01:34.820 It's not just the burst damage that you can do 03:01:34.820 --> 03:01:39.820 It's the scouting potential to like being able to just dangle bastion up on one of those roofs 03:01:39.820 --> 03:01:45.720 There's a reason why in the past when Winston plays used to do the tech where you would use the jump and then you would slide on 03:01:45.780 --> 03:01:47.780 The roof to hold your position 03:01:47.780 --> 03:01:52.800 You would then use it for scouting same thing with using a moat for the third person POV around the corners 03:01:52.800 --> 03:01:56.780 So you knew when the teams were pushing it. Oh, we've seen a diabolical one of them from capstra, I think 03:01:56.780 --> 03:02:04.180 Yeah, and then you can just like relay when you want to send your Anna anti-nade in when they're about to walk so that you get the most 03:02:04.940 --> 03:02:09.040 Disruptive here of purple possible so it cuts right through the walk time 03:02:10.180 --> 03:02:12.620 And I have was freaking in the green room right now 03:02:13.380 --> 03:02:17.920 That's all I know crazy. We're gonna probably like yeah, that's that that's you 03:02:20.020 --> 03:02:21.860 Two things 03:02:21.860 --> 03:02:24.900 ridiculous though from vertus pro losing that map. Yes moxie 03:02:24.900 --> 03:02:30.920 But in that fashion like so that was one be ones at the very end like yeah, it doesn't get much closer than that 03:02:31.460 --> 03:02:37.900 EME a second seed coming into the tournament after going down to twisted mines in the finals world champions 03:02:37.900 --> 03:02:42.860 You're like, okay, sure script pre-written going into stage one TM have been dominant for so long 03:02:42.860 --> 03:02:45.420 You're showing up like this against Asia's number one like yeah 03:02:45.420 --> 03:02:50.340 This is ridiculous and this very well could be going into a map five 03:02:50.340 --> 03:02:57.700 Obviously, map 4 now coming up in just a moment, but where do we pivot now if you're Virtus Pro? 03:02:57.700 --> 03:03:03.540 You've got the priority ban for the next one, and we're going to either a hybrid or a push. 03:03:04.900 --> 03:03:11.780 I think you go hybrid, and you ban out the Bastion Cat, so that you can get the risk of 03:03:11.780 --> 03:03:19.540 like Numbani out of the way. I think like you go hybrid, maybe you go somewhere like Kings Row. 03:03:19.540 --> 03:03:28.540 You ban out the bastion or the cat and then you don't have to worry about later down the line Zayda taking you to Numbani with the bastion cat fully in play. 03:03:29.540 --> 03:03:31.540 I like where you going? I'm picking up where you putting down. 03:03:32.540 --> 03:03:40.540 Because VP they're not running the bastion cat right? Bastion cat was on the table there for realto but they were much more happy to just play a counter composition to it. 03:03:40.540 --> 03:03:46.540 Having the Baptiste being able to help out with that hit scan, Kev's just so lethal on the Cassidy with the six shooter. 03:03:46.540 --> 03:03:53.380 If you're not going to play it, you want to ban it, with how disruptive the Bastion Cat 03:03:53.380 --> 03:03:54.380 has been. 03:03:54.380 --> 03:03:57.120 It might not be the thing that wins you the fights, but because it's splitting so many 03:03:57.120 --> 03:04:00.900 players' attention, depleting and diverting so many resources off what should be your 03:04:00.900 --> 03:04:04.580 win condition to have to play reactively and more defensively. 03:04:04.580 --> 03:04:07.980 It's not a fun time when you have to play for second turn, because things can go wrong 03:04:07.980 --> 03:04:09.980 when you're waiting for it to be your chance. 03:04:09.980 --> 03:04:13.500 If you lose, someone really crucial to the composition, like one of your support players, 03:04:13.500 --> 03:04:17.080 Or maybe someone who carries the ultimate, and when these teams do all tracking, they 03:04:17.080 --> 03:04:21.600 have a priority list of players that they want killed, and at the top of it, it's support, 03:04:21.600 --> 03:04:24.400 or it's the person with the ultimate that wins the team that fight. 03:04:24.400 --> 03:04:28.100 If you pick them off on stage one, even if you're trying to play for second turn, you 03:04:28.100 --> 03:04:32.000 have no confidence, no motivation to actually commit to that fight. 03:04:32.000 --> 03:04:38.600 A ludicrous final fight. 03:04:38.600 --> 03:04:40.440 I mean we can look at it here in this replay. 03:04:40.440 --> 03:04:48.240 It's it's burn out with that run as well the nano vs full sending in diverters pro's team and that shot was so filthy too 03:04:48.240 --> 03:04:52.760 I mean this was Kevster really playing it what felt like a hundred and ten percent 03:04:52.760 --> 03:04:55.160 Yeah, he's putting up big numbers on the Cassidy 03:04:55.440 --> 03:05:00.760 Look at that yesterday on gender town like that is ludicrous and it's back. It's old-school Kevster 03:05:00.760 --> 03:05:06.000 He's back. Yeah, it feels like it feels like no face Kevster where they were feeling on the other gladiators like this guy is a 03:05:06.000 --> 03:05:11.120 a menace and he will tear up the scene and he continues to kind of do that and it's continuing on 03:05:11.120 --> 03:05:16.640 an international stage too. Like the guy's not lost it. It's insane stuff from Virtus Pro. 03:05:16.640 --> 03:05:22.800 A couple of minutes before we get back into this next one. Man number four coming up. Kingsrow? 03:05:22.800 --> 03:05:29.040 It's going to be a Kingsrow pit. Yeah, Kingsrow and then likely a Bastion or a Cat. A lorry. 03:05:29.040 --> 03:05:38.040 So, huh, Bastion Cat makes it through yet again, unless Zeta decided to ban it out here. 03:05:38.040 --> 03:05:40.480 I mean, you don't have to ban Bastion Cat here. 03:05:40.480 --> 03:05:44.320 You could also play like Mizuki Ana, Mizuki Kiri, Mizuki something. 03:05:44.320 --> 03:05:49.040 Like, that has been shown already by CR, so we've had the Mizuki ban, so... 03:05:49.040 --> 03:05:54.800 We've also had the Violet Elari be a standout for you to have to worry about. 03:05:54.800 --> 03:05:58.840 But again, I find it strange that they're going for the Ellari because it sort of forces 03:05:58.840 --> 03:06:01.840 Violet onto the cat line. 03:06:01.840 --> 03:06:10.080 VP overthinking it, maybe, a little bit, but maybe not too much. 03:06:10.080 --> 03:06:14.160 I have to see what Smash has been cooking with this, King's Row. 03:06:14.160 --> 03:06:17.200 And then if we need to go to the fifth map, New Queen Street, Bruna's Saapi. 03:06:17.200 --> 03:06:22.600 They use the Tracer Band too, on Rialto, which means that you won't have it here in King's 03:06:22.600 --> 03:06:23.600 Row to be able to use. 03:06:23.600 --> 03:06:30.280 Yeah, there it is. Larry Ban comes on through from FirstPro. Zeta taking away the sim and again that sort of goes back to how 03:06:31.120 --> 03:06:33.840 Frequently sim has been used in the the EMEA 03:06:35.280 --> 03:06:37.280 They got the sim virus 03:06:37.280 --> 03:06:43.840 We can find a way to slot sim into the complex sim, Ryan, old school SR peek check for like the true 03:06:44.200 --> 03:06:50.680 OG London spitfire with theirs as well and then like we play sim with everything. Sim Bastion 03:06:50.880 --> 03:06:52.880 for sim virus 03:06:53.600 --> 03:06:58.400 But it makes a lot of sense because like the King's Row especially being able to go from the lower ground to the higher ground 03:06:58.400 --> 03:07:01.480 Very easily with something like a sim TP is really really strong 03:07:01.480 --> 03:07:04.280 Plus if you don't want to have to be forced on do that dealer line 03:07:04.280 --> 03:07:09.560 Then you don't have to reserve your boosters for being able to chase the TP and then push people off with the booster impact 03:07:09.840 --> 03:07:14.480 Something that I'm sure Zeta were not that happy about given the fact that Virtus. Pro 03:07:14.920 --> 03:07:18.300 Really just played a game of cat and mouse with the sim TP's on realtor first 03:07:18.300 --> 03:07:22.020 It's like maybe we'll use a full sim TP to push that team into your backline 03:07:22.020 --> 03:07:26.760 So your Diva has to give a ball that space but surprise actually in the front line instead and now we have car push 03:07:28.920 --> 03:07:35.400 This is this match is delivering a whole lot more than I expected and I'm so happy for it 03:07:35.400 --> 03:07:39.680 I can't understate that moxie honestly especially after that first game today 03:07:40.200 --> 03:07:45.720 Well the improvements that bird as far as being able to make because they looked rocky against WBG 03:07:45.720 --> 03:07:48.320 That there were moments when you watch them versus WBG 03:07:48.320 --> 03:07:53.220 you were like doubting who would actually be able to make it out from that series. 03:07:53.720 --> 03:07:57.020 And then we see coming in today the improvements that they've been able to make. 03:07:57.320 --> 03:08:00.820 Yes, again, it was Kevser on the cast, he being a standout, 03:08:01.120 --> 03:08:02.420 but it's other things as well. 03:08:02.420 --> 03:08:06.120 It really does feel like this team has been able to find their comfort zone in a 03:08:06.120 --> 03:08:10.720 meta that was very much about pushing these American and EMEA teams out of 03:08:10.720 --> 03:08:11.420 their comfort zone. 03:08:11.620 --> 03:08:14.320 None of them had experience but playing the Bastion Cat, 03:08:14.620 --> 03:08:17.720 but crucially as well, playing against it. 03:08:18.320 --> 03:08:22.420 have to just taking a sit down just a small bathroom break I'd imagine and 03:08:22.420 --> 03:08:27.120 just make sure they're ready for hopefully a longer series for them but 03:08:27.120 --> 03:08:30.960 he's getting ready to just like rest the shoulders so that we go into this 03:08:30.960 --> 03:08:35.320 next map and he can just put the weight. He is limber. I'll say that right now. 03:08:35.320 --> 03:08:40.520 Here's the stats from just Rialto 152 a limber to 115 on the other side. Look at the 03:08:40.520 --> 03:08:47.600 deaths though 56 deaths on Virtus Pro in comparison 9 separate I mean that is 03:08:47.600 --> 03:08:52.200 yeah I mean Zeta we're just so good at running the clock down with Virtus Pro 03:08:52.200 --> 03:08:56.240 as well like getting cheap fight wins using the anti-nades to stall 03:08:56.240 --> 03:09:00.400 Virtus Pro's approach being able to cut off the amplification matrix because 03:09:00.400 --> 03:09:04.880 Virtus Pro like landed with the map this is a hero that he is known for yeah 03:09:04.880 --> 03:09:14.880 He is the Baptiste of Overwatch Esports and he has some really good ideas in terms of using the Amplification Matrix. 03:09:14.880 --> 03:09:20.880 They worked out very quickly, okay, Bernard's using the Deva, playing right in front of the Amplification Matrix, the Face Tank it, 03:09:20.880 --> 03:09:27.880 One Defense Matrix, he's got the damage reduction of the Nano Boost, so you see, especially on that second point with the Amplification Matrix, 03:09:27.880 --> 03:09:31.880 they don't do it for one specific person, they do it right down the middle so that the cast gets the damage boost, 03:09:31.880 --> 03:09:37.160 the back gets to play the off angle and use the healing through it to be able to keep his DPS up. 03:09:37.160 --> 03:09:43.160 The problem is that Zeta just go right through it and catch on to land when he's isolated. 03:09:45.160 --> 03:09:49.800 Is Ipanas staying as well? No Milgari, only for control there for Zeta Division. 03:09:50.360 --> 03:09:53.880 I mean, it's keeping your options open. You can play the Diva, you can play the Sig, 03:09:54.520 --> 03:10:00.760 potentially you can play the Zarya as well. Wrecking Ball is decent on maps like Numbani, 03:10:00.760 --> 03:10:02.760 you've got destruction potential 03:10:02.760 --> 03:10:05.760 and he's still viable there, but it's not as problematic 03:10:05.760 --> 03:10:07.760 and you want to have that flexibility 03:10:07.760 --> 03:10:09.760 because so many different compositions 03:10:09.760 --> 03:10:12.760 are seen in different parts of Kintro. 03:10:13.760 --> 03:10:16.760 Alright, slow it in. Upper semis, here we go. 03:10:16.760 --> 03:10:20.760 Zeta Division up two, sitting on match point versus Virtus Pro. 03:10:21.760 --> 03:10:24.760 I knew with that single game there on New Junk City, 03:10:24.760 --> 03:10:28.760 but what a map it was, a four round or four point map, 03:10:28.760 --> 03:10:35.560 point map but three of them were just VPs just just sheer domination and from 03:10:35.560 --> 03:10:39.880 Kepster specifically like on that Cassidy let's load into Kings Row then 03:10:39.880 --> 03:10:45.400 there they was want to finish this one up right here right now first row you 03:10:45.400 --> 03:10:48.480 know EMEA kind of living this one up they want to take this to a map five 03:10:48.480 --> 03:10:50.480 It's home ground territory. 03:11:00.480 --> 03:11:08.480 Zeta division starting off on the defense and here it is banned out before Violet is on the Mizuki 03:11:08.480 --> 03:11:12.480 and Bernard likely theorized stays in to be able to play the Sigma. 03:11:12.480 --> 03:11:15.480 This is what we saw in Circuit Royale yesterday. 03:11:15.480 --> 03:11:22.760 They use the mayor wall you trap people with those walls you find the isolation but proper not on the bastion on the echo to have more fluidity 03:11:22.760 --> 03:11:28.120 Oh, I like that a whole hot echo in these kind of comps against the far as well 03:11:28.120 --> 03:11:34.480 Right like cycle is known for being able to play the far and echo melts far alive the moment 03:11:34.480 --> 03:11:38.080 You get her down to half health the tracking on the focusing beam. She melts 03:11:38.080 --> 03:11:50.280 It's just so flexible to the widow from kevv. 03:11:50.280 --> 03:11:56.080 Then voli, but not sticking on it, so yeah, it's just to get a little bit of damage as 03:11:56.080 --> 03:11:59.640 you walk out from spawn, but burner will be able to shield off the most of it. 03:11:59.640 --> 03:12:03.320 Kevvster sticks on the widow a little longer since they had that high ground presence before 03:12:03.320 --> 03:12:06.960 swapping to the soldier, and over the back of that, Virtus Pro, they've actually been 03:12:06.960 --> 03:12:10.700 able to get that way through Choke, looking to either walk onto high ground with Vizaria 03:12:10.700 --> 03:12:13.180 potential or onto the point of Osatia to ball. 03:12:13.180 --> 03:12:17.100 Yeah, very easy, because the Sigma was just not playing that at all, they're playing on 03:12:17.100 --> 03:12:21.780 this high ground. Crossing's going to be fairly difficult on this square section of the map 03:12:21.780 --> 03:12:23.580 here on this high ground, look at this crossfire. 03:12:23.580 --> 03:12:30.140 Oh, good mail order. She loses line of sight for a moment, but that's the mail order gone, 03:12:30.140 --> 03:12:35.700 Psycho now uses it on the point. Osatia Division have to have knife anchor to stop VP from 03:12:35.700 --> 03:12:36.700 getting cat. 03:12:36.700 --> 03:12:43.420 Super nice skill there from Bernard. It's it's really tough for that as pro here because they have to deal with shoes somehow 03:12:43.660 --> 03:12:48.900 But like we haven't got a telephone. Yeah, we've got this speed boost like it's the male. It's tough 03:12:48.980 --> 03:12:54.980 It's it's cycle using the male to cut off the line of sight from sheer, but then the problem is that more cable surely 03:12:55.900 --> 03:12:57.900 But now 03:12:58.580 --> 03:13:01.780 Don't they catch to get away with a kill like kill on Kevser there we go 03:13:01.780 --> 03:13:02.280 Yes. 03:13:02.280 --> 03:13:09.660 Virtus Pro, they have this run down Sigma composition with both the Zarya and the May being able to ignore a huge chunk of the Sigma's defenses 03:13:09.660 --> 03:13:13.820 But if they're running down the Sigma, they're not running down Shu, they're not running down Viola 03:13:13.820 --> 03:13:15.820 And you can see that he's already almost at Nanoboost 03:13:16.180 --> 03:13:22.540 Pretty hard for Ice Noon to stay on this point too, with only a couple of obovels, has to use them on himself more than likely 03:13:23.140 --> 03:13:25.580 Nye's gonna be the one point present 03:13:26.460 --> 03:13:28.140 Wow, that was a shot 03:13:28.140 --> 03:13:33.060 Knife the nice little headshot strains the block and verse pro. Yeah, they're backing up all the way to their own show 03:13:33.060 --> 03:13:36.440 Oh potentially a pick here on to ice norm as well 03:13:36.940 --> 03:13:43.500 Yeah, see the moment knife with that may well though and verse pro denied more time having to wait for the czar to disengage 03:13:43.500 --> 03:13:49.020 Rush for land and double support ultimate for zeta nano already online for shoe 03:13:49.300 --> 03:13:56.180 Even this sanctuary as well ice walled off for a brief moment knife gets shut down though by Kevster all in the flux 03:13:56.180 --> 03:14:01.140 Incredible use of free will there by Bernard. Ends up whiffing that one completely. 03:14:01.140 --> 03:14:06.340 Bernard and Phyla end up just crumbling under the pressure of Virtus.Pro and that's the first point. 03:14:06.340 --> 03:14:15.340 Yeah Bernard tries to use the flux to disrupt the positioning of Landon's rush so Zeta can keep a hold of things like the Nanobus if the fight goes long once the Kyrgyzoth ended. 03:14:15.340 --> 03:14:23.140 But the flux whiffs, Virtus.Pro gets the kills and Zeta Division lose the opportunity to last the fight long enough to have the ult advantage. 03:14:23.140 --> 03:14:30.540 Silver lining for them, they've got four ultimates coming into this next one, and Violet with the Sanctuary can shut down Cervus' OC. We've seen it defensively before. 03:14:32.140 --> 03:14:34.140 Yeah, Sanctuary's so nice to use here. 03:14:35.540 --> 03:14:38.140 Against this Graviton, against the Blizzard, like... 03:14:39.440 --> 03:14:41.540 It's sort of the answer for lacking Sandbarrow. 03:14:41.540 --> 03:14:48.040 Oh, they're gonna try and go in. Rock ends up hitting the bubble there, Vice. There will be a nana boost. No, Peth just gets deleted. 03:14:48.540 --> 03:14:52.140 A copy and a Blizzard 2 thrown in by Zeta. 03:14:52.140 --> 03:14:58.640 And they've still got the sanctuary right proper goes for the copy onto the Zarya so that you're a big beefy target 03:14:58.640 --> 03:15:02.420 You can play in front of the OC you get the health reset you drop onto kedsa 03:15:02.420 --> 03:15:09.040 You deny the spread using the overclock to break through the choke and it forces ice now to have to use the gravity on 03:15:09.140 --> 03:15:14.360 Aggressively which means that violet can react with that sanctuary as kedsa onto the Cassidy 03:15:14.660 --> 03:15:17.260 It's actually looking for a flank just to blow this fight wide open 03:15:17.260 --> 03:15:19.660 Psycho is actually on the flank right now. 03:15:19.660 --> 03:15:20.940 He's going to reappear with the rest of the team. 03:15:20.940 --> 03:15:22.220 Wow, Sator back all the way up. 03:15:22.220 --> 03:15:23.220 Wow, they're giving them a choke. 03:15:23.220 --> 03:15:24.820 I mean, they can play around corners though. 03:15:24.820 --> 03:15:26.660 Like, they've got bananas to take the space back, 03:15:26.660 --> 03:15:27.780 or they can use the Sanctuary. 03:15:27.780 --> 03:15:28.940 They're playing reaction. 03:15:28.940 --> 03:15:30.580 They want to know where the Graviton comes out. 03:15:30.580 --> 03:15:32.020 They've got Benar's ult charge already. 03:15:32.020 --> 03:15:33.620 They're already at 80%. 03:15:33.620 --> 03:15:35.660 There is the Blizzard Graviton surge. 03:15:35.660 --> 03:15:36.820 Benar doesn't have getting nanoed, 03:15:36.820 --> 03:15:38.540 but he's so far away from the team of the Grasp, 03:15:38.540 --> 03:15:39.540 he's actually going to save him. 03:15:39.540 --> 03:15:40.980 The Shields, and they're coming up in time as well, 03:15:40.980 --> 03:15:42.700 as Kester ends up getting deleted. 03:15:42.700 --> 03:15:45.740 Nice Sanctuary from Violet 2 does protect the back line there. 03:15:45.740 --> 03:15:49.020 The pocket on Bernard, just ridiculous. 03:15:49.020 --> 03:15:55.820 I mean it's the grasp and then the shield and then the amount of healing even though he's outside the sanctuary and a couple of flanks. 03:15:55.820 --> 03:15:56.620 Flanks. 03:15:56.620 --> 03:15:57.260 And Bernhardt. 03:15:57.260 --> 03:16:00.860 With the first one, did not with that second on the high ground now as well. 03:16:00.860 --> 03:16:03.020 Fixie used the time barrier, it doesn't save London. 03:16:03.980 --> 03:16:08.700 Ooh, okay, but through that shield as Bernard does end up getting felled. 03:16:08.700 --> 03:16:19.940 Yeah, they're trying to get the walls, they're trying to trap someone in, but they're already 03:16:19.940 --> 03:16:20.940 out of the game. 03:16:20.940 --> 03:16:23.700 I mean, you've got Blitz coming on through from Nife, Vittespoir don't have a great 03:16:23.700 --> 03:16:27.740 answer to this, outside of the Zarya, Bubbles coming on through from Ice. 03:16:27.740 --> 03:16:28.740 Where's the pick coming from? 03:16:28.740 --> 03:16:32.740 Vittespoir, they're looking to try to set up an off-angle, which they can control. 03:16:32.740 --> 03:16:35.460 There's the Blitz, they're trying to get Ice, he's already got a Bubble, and he manages 03:16:35.460 --> 03:16:38.540 to get away, beautiful stuff, nice kite. 03:16:38.540 --> 03:16:43.840 It gives them space to they've been able to take away the caps of flank coming out to put pressure on the backline 03:16:43.840 --> 03:16:45.540 So she was boarding up the nanoboost 03:16:45.540 --> 03:16:46.540 Entirely uncontampled 03:16:46.540 --> 03:16:49.540 Double hop onto the high ground, props not really expecting that one was looking the other way the whole time 03:16:49.540 --> 03:16:53.040 Here comes the copy from proper as well if they want to get aggressive 03:16:53.040 --> 03:16:58.540 Shoot with the nanoboost could go onto the aircomb might go onto Bernard just to have the stability and push into vertice point space 03:16:58.540 --> 03:17:03.540 Man insane push and pull here from VP and Zeta Division just trying to get flanks on each other trying to get the upper hand 03:17:03.540 --> 03:17:09.860 his ice pushes the tempo, nano onto proper, soundbar from fixer does hit five, they're trying to run down this back line here, 03:17:09.860 --> 03:17:13.140 Viola's going to be in trouble, they're just going to get burned down by Kevser, in fact, 03:17:13.140 --> 03:17:15.300 that's that smack to the face of the melee. 03:17:15.300 --> 03:17:18.340 They end up training for Slyker and Shoes are alive, plus they have to. 03:17:18.340 --> 03:17:22.740 Yeah, the ice is so close to the ground and you've got Viola out, so there's no defense against... 03:17:22.740 --> 03:17:24.660 They're trying to run down, Shoes, Shoes got to get out. 03:17:25.460 --> 03:17:29.540 Nice wrap around from VP and there's no healers left. 03:17:29.540 --> 03:17:35.720 Nice is a hundred energy. Nice calling from Thirdis Crow to run down shoot. 03:17:35.720 --> 03:17:39.820 Proper still behind though. They know that he is. One of the players is marking it. 03:17:39.820 --> 03:17:42.920 Can they actually get someone on point to contest this? Looks like they've given it. 03:17:42.920 --> 03:17:46.660 Proper might have been able to get behind, but Kester catches him out on the 03:17:46.660 --> 03:17:50.300 Cassidy. Encyco actually swaps to the Reaper to be able to put much more 03:17:50.300 --> 03:17:54.140 pressure on Beno with how far forward he's been playing. 03:17:54.140 --> 03:17:58.360 I was not afraid at all of that shield. Brode just stood there, didn't move. 03:17:58.360 --> 03:18:00.560 move shot it, made him recall it. 03:18:01.640 --> 03:18:03.200 Time to play around corners. 03:18:03.200 --> 03:18:06.320 Whoa, what a rock! 03:18:06.320 --> 03:18:08.440 That's one ulti-leted Katsune rush, 03:18:08.440 --> 03:18:11.880 but here comes the sanctuary from Violet. 03:18:11.880 --> 03:18:14.320 Oh, the flux still manages to connect. 03:18:14.320 --> 03:18:15.360 Kinda shocked that one here. 03:18:15.360 --> 03:18:17.560 I think Ice is probably feeling the same way. 03:18:17.560 --> 03:18:19.360 Like Grav from Ice Potenti, 03:18:19.360 --> 03:18:20.720 that's why everyone's getting faster and faster. 03:18:20.720 --> 03:18:22.960 Oh, it's a faster Grav as well. 03:18:22.960 --> 03:18:25.760 Oh, and they're, I mean, they're still surviving too. 03:18:25.760 --> 03:18:27.000 I mean, what an eight from shoot, 03:18:27.000 --> 03:18:29.000 He's getting everybody up like instantly. 03:18:29.000 --> 03:18:32.000 Yeah, proper go for the coffin to the Zarya 2 to be able to get extra bubbles. 03:18:32.000 --> 03:18:33.000 Free graph. 03:18:33.000 --> 03:18:35.000 He's got to throw it out at some point. 03:18:35.000 --> 03:18:36.000 Catches landed. 03:18:36.000 --> 03:18:38.000 And then leads him as well. 03:18:38.000 --> 03:18:40.000 Shoe with the headshot. 03:18:40.000 --> 03:18:43.000 Proper dupe graph, does it for Zeta? 03:18:43.000 --> 03:18:44.000 Vyla's back fast here. 03:18:44.000 --> 03:18:48.000 He swaps onto the Juno to be able to rejoin the fight and take it 5 vs 5. 03:18:48.000 --> 03:18:51.000 Fixes right to get the Sion barrier up, but Shoe has the mana boost. 03:18:51.000 --> 03:18:56.000 And Zeta can continue to try and apply all of his pressure onto Verus Pro and run the clock down. 03:18:56.000 --> 03:19:00.720 the clock down. Final fight territory here. The Fixer has to use the soundbar to engage. 03:19:00.720 --> 03:19:03.960 They won't have it for the second fight to be able to actually complete the push. 03:19:03.960 --> 03:19:10.640 This Nano is going to be so scary. Fixer needs this beat. Cannot go down early. Fixer dies 03:19:10.640 --> 03:19:14.160 here. It's pretty over. They've got a blizzard too. They're going to throw it out on the 03:19:14.160 --> 03:19:18.040 point. Oh, Kess is in trouble. The icebox is going to fade away. But it's all good. 03:19:18.040 --> 03:19:21.120 Fixer got the beat and he got it off. But Landon was just isolated for the rest of the 03:19:21.120 --> 03:19:25.920 team. A good kill from Propper and Anti onto Kevster. Reels him backwards as Propper gets 03:19:25.920 --> 03:19:33.600 double. There's 20 seconds to go. Flights over. Potentially kill onto Kevster. Bernard's using 03:19:33.600 --> 03:19:37.760 the shield to depth block line of sight so the may falls early. Vixx is onto the Gino, 03:19:37.760 --> 03:19:41.600 desperately trying to get onto this point to activate the OZ for the speed ramp. They walled! 03:19:41.600 --> 03:19:47.280 They walled! They walled! The ice can't get through! 1 second, 0.1. He manages to get there in time. 03:19:47.280 --> 03:19:52.560 It was a wraith form in the end from Psycho that gets the touch. The flux though, the nano boost. 03:19:52.560 --> 03:19:54.560 Buttersport don't have good answers to this. 03:19:54.560 --> 03:19:57.200 The flux is unbelievable. 03:19:57.200 --> 03:19:59.920 And Psycho goes down with the deathmoss. 03:19:59.920 --> 03:20:05.440 And Rock from Bernard sends Fixer to the Stone Age. 03:20:05.440 --> 03:20:06.960 Ice ends up falling. 03:20:06.960 --> 03:20:10.480 And that's where the payload is halted. 03:20:10.480 --> 03:20:16.400 Say to the vision, only granting VP those two points. 03:20:16.400 --> 03:20:18.640 The ultracking, it's so good. 03:20:18.640 --> 03:20:24.880 like the flux perfectly positioned onto Cyco's position so that they get the one player with 03:20:24.880 --> 03:20:29.760 an ultimate who could flip that fight out of the way as quickly as possible and then you don't have 03:20:29.760 --> 03:20:36.400 to worry about groping up and getting all hit by the death blossom. But nah, again, 20 and 3 03:20:36.400 --> 03:20:40.640 leading the server in damages while sitting at 11k. I mean, he's been on absolute fire, 03:20:40.640 --> 03:20:45.360 he's also getting all of the space because of Viola and Chu just being able to keep that Sigma up. 03:20:48.640 --> 03:20:55.920 If they want to continue in the series, the line has been drawn in the sand. 03:20:55.920 --> 03:20:56.920 It's not a full push. 03:20:56.920 --> 03:21:04.480 You won't go to overtime rounds, but can they get the cart far enough to remain, or do they 03:21:04.480 --> 03:21:08.760 go out? 03:21:08.760 --> 03:21:11.200 The lower bracket will await them if they end up going down. 03:21:11.200 --> 03:21:15.480 Zayac Division will face rather familiar foes in a crazy raccoon 03:21:18.480 --> 03:21:20.480 Mizuki Hover for Violet 03:21:20.880 --> 03:21:26.360 This comp very at home of EP with this. I mean, yeah VP going for the old faithful 03:21:26.680 --> 03:21:32.960 Psycho on the make heads are on the Cassidy pick potential staying power as well with that may being able to anchor the point 03:21:33.280 --> 03:21:36.560 But ice he doesn't have a lot of mobility on the Zara 03:21:36.560 --> 03:21:40.080 So potentially use psychos walls just to be able to go from the low ground to the high ground 03:21:40.080 --> 03:21:44.780 But then you're not using them aggressively and say this team is Zedah. Well, they get the opportunity 03:21:44.780 --> 03:21:46.400 This is the luxury of starting off on the attack 03:21:46.400 --> 03:21:51.100 You get to read out the comp and go for something which Virtus.Pro will struggle against that being the M-Raid 03:21:51.600 --> 03:21:55.240 Rob the master of all is chosen the farer for this bout 03:21:58.400 --> 03:21:59.900 So much range 03:21:59.900 --> 03:22:03.200 Yeah, that knife has with the scope and Virtus.Pro they just can't chance the cost 03:22:03.200 --> 03:22:08.720 You give up that high ground it's over like there's just no way you're huddled in a hotel and you're being forced to leave 03:22:08.720 --> 03:22:15.600 No late check out Kevster not having a fun time utilizing the flashbang to make sure that knife can't just swap to the siphon blaster and 03:22:15.740 --> 03:22:21.040 Jump his way out of there, but say that they've got their hands on the high ground and that is not what good is for one 03:22:22.100 --> 03:22:24.380 Yeah, there's gonna wrap around here but ice actually gets anti 03:22:24.380 --> 03:22:29.300 Well, like it's proper. It's just straight disrespecting VP right now with this flank 03:22:29.300 --> 03:22:33.940 They've already forced the block as well. Nape was a little bit too early, but he's got the backup 03:22:33.940 --> 03:22:35.740 I mean, but nice in here 03:22:35.740 --> 03:22:37.440 Little wanky one 03:22:37.440 --> 03:22:41.280 He pulled him into the Octagon and he didn't have a single finger on him. 03:22:41.280 --> 03:22:45.880 Psycho had no ability to escape in that fight and that's gonna be point for Zeta. 03:22:45.880 --> 03:22:52.280 Yeah, and he had no help from his supports because both Fixer and Landon were being run on by the other members of Zeta. 03:22:52.280 --> 03:22:56.800 A very fast point take and one that means that Verbespro don't have 03:22:56.800 --> 03:23:00.520 alternates to be able to hold Zeta off at the pass when we had to first fight on 03:23:00.520 --> 03:23:03.720 second which means that proper is going to be so disruptive here on the far 03:23:03.720 --> 03:23:09.560 off of the May onto the Tracer knows that Violet on the Juno is vulnerable to the One Clip 03:23:09.560 --> 03:23:11.700 There's no brick to be able to keep the Tracer in check 03:23:13.720 --> 03:23:19.100 The server I protocol is going to be dangerous for 90s 10% away. He's been farming on the MRA 03:23:19.100 --> 03:23:23.840 No diva as well ice is on the Zarya so no defense matrix. No shut down for VP 03:23:23.840 --> 03:23:27.700 It's just so hard for ice to stay up like landing has to be 03:23:28.200 --> 03:23:32.720 Playing his a game right now. I think they're getting jumped on but look at the support coming in from Violet 03:23:32.720 --> 03:23:34.720 They're trying to go in. 03:23:34.720 --> 03:23:36.720 Yeah, I mean, they want to be able to go in. 03:23:36.720 --> 03:23:39.720 If Landon uses the rush, Bernard just offsets them with the flux. 03:23:39.720 --> 03:23:41.720 One HP, ice. He's got no bubbles left. 03:23:41.720 --> 03:23:43.720 The flux is going to be good for him. 03:23:43.720 --> 03:23:45.720 And then we can just do it with a backline. 03:23:45.720 --> 03:23:47.720 They could completely trade his faces right now. 03:23:47.720 --> 03:23:49.720 Because playing the mad hatter. 03:23:49.720 --> 03:23:53.720 But Bernard is just crunching them as they try and escape. 03:23:53.720 --> 03:23:55.720 There's four minutes to go. 03:23:55.720 --> 03:23:57.720 The idea was there for VP, 03:23:57.720 --> 03:24:01.720 but I tried to cross this small, like, area towards hotel 03:24:01.720 --> 03:24:03.400 and she's got decimated. 03:24:03.400 --> 03:24:07.640 I mean, Sigma is not normally an aggressive tank known for taking space, 03:24:07.640 --> 03:24:11.720 but because he's getting so much healing and the orbital ray there from Violet, 03:24:11.720 --> 03:24:14.600 Bernardus gets to play as aggressive as he wants. 03:24:14.600 --> 03:24:17.160 The Riddish pro do have the Graviton, this could be the turning point, 03:24:17.160 --> 03:24:21.000 but Knife with the Override Protocol is going to blow the fight wide open to save the space. 03:24:21.000 --> 03:24:22.920 They have to back off, they can't afford to lose anybody, 03:24:22.920 --> 03:24:24.360 he keeps around the corner, he's going to get the hint today, 03:24:24.360 --> 03:24:26.280 and the nice little Suzer there is going to keep the light of the ice, 03:24:26.280 --> 03:24:27.720 it just blazes him down. 03:24:27.720 --> 03:24:29.080 It's a Graviton search as well, he's going to hit, 03:24:29.080 --> 03:24:33.720 the hip and the Rocket Bracelet, and eliminate Aysir and pick up Fixer is a high noon for 03:24:33.720 --> 03:24:41.360 Kedster, but you're not welcome here. Proper with three. Kedster, no way to shoot. Make 03:24:41.360 --> 03:24:46.360 that a four. What a concussive from Proper to push the 03:24:46.360 --> 03:24:51.920 dead eye out of position so it doesn't kill the Fara. Damage reduction, there's not a 03:24:51.920 --> 03:24:57.240 lot of time. Virtus.pro onto Aysir on Diva just to be able to try and stall Zeta off 03:24:57.240 --> 03:25:03.160 and give VP a chance at one more fight perfect to use the beat and give verbs for a second chance. 03:25:03.160 --> 03:25:09.560 Our last map was close, but this is feeling anything but right now as Virtus Pro won their last lifeline. 03:25:09.560 --> 03:25:15.160 They've got a sound barrier. Zeta haven't got any ults here. Beats to force the tempo, 03:25:15.160 --> 03:25:19.560 but Nas on the wrong side of the fight gets picked. They'd only got three though. Catch the psycho, 03:25:19.560 --> 03:25:23.160 not caught by the sound barrier, but they've got the picks on the back line. Shoe falls. 03:25:23.160 --> 03:25:26.520 Don't let him get another one. Surely not the exit on to the Lucio. 03:25:26.520 --> 03:25:34.160 Ice is doing everything that he can to keep Fixer up and Virtus Pro skin of their teeth by the sound barrier 03:25:34.360 --> 03:25:39.060 Survived in the upper bracket for now because Zedah division they've got four minutes Jaws 03:25:39.060 --> 03:25:44.120 They can just play to take a fight that they're comfortable with force land them to use the rush 03:25:44.160 --> 03:25:50.060 But our potential builds up the flux disrupts the momentum and then Zedah division with the overall raid get the last laugh 03:25:52.160 --> 03:25:55.880 Trying to force the position of ice known now. I think I go forward again with this roster 03:25:55.880 --> 03:26:00.160 Yeah, like you said pick it up a little bit a nice rock on the ice and it's gonna be good here comes the rush 03:26:00.160 --> 03:26:03.840 But instant back off. It's gonna be a flux actually pop from but are pretty quickly there 03:26:03.840 --> 03:26:08.420 They're hinting a there's actually gonna hit with a flux does man she connect with ice though a nice little suzu 03:26:08.420 --> 03:26:11.880 Keeps him live at the moment as well as that rake coming down fire. He's gonna be so tough to fight into 03:26:12.280 --> 03:26:16.000 There is gonna be a self-destruct for ice them to keep him up at least for a couple extra moments 03:26:16.000 --> 03:26:20.040 This kept some pops the high noon. He's in the small corridors fire in the back line 03:26:20.560 --> 03:26:25.400 What's your he's so close to the nanobus does that I still think it's one of all it's not 03:26:25.880 --> 03:26:28.280 Not with that pit from Kevster! 03:26:29.120 --> 03:26:32.320 And Virtus Pro yet again sees Zeta Division off! 03:26:32.820 --> 03:26:34.620 Oh my God, I kill! 03:26:35.620 --> 03:26:36.620 Three minutes? 03:26:37.720 --> 03:26:41.120 Double DPS ults though, and Nano boost for Zeta. 03:26:41.120 --> 03:26:45.320 Virtus Pro have to hold Zeta off from getting aggressive and here it comes! 03:26:45.320 --> 03:26:47.620 This was the thing that broke open in real-to! 03:26:47.620 --> 03:26:51.420 Nano boost onto Burner and the Rematch to take the space away from Virtus Pro, 03:26:51.420 --> 03:26:53.320 but full fixic and battery up the beat! 03:26:53.320 --> 03:26:57.760 They've got this Blizzard too, Iceland needs to eat this. 03:26:57.760 --> 03:27:00.960 There's just so much for Iceland to do, so much weight on his shoulders right now for 03:27:00.960 --> 03:27:01.960 Virtus. 03:27:01.960 --> 03:27:02.960 Pro. 03:27:02.960 --> 03:27:03.960 Oh no! 03:27:03.960 --> 03:27:04.960 What?! 03:27:04.960 --> 03:27:07.320 Scythe Pro gets eliminated instantly, a Thrip! 03:27:07.320 --> 03:27:11.320 The Blizzard gets thrown out by Knifes, while he's all falling apart, Knifes gets a double! 03:27:11.320 --> 03:27:13.320 Oh dearie me! 03:27:13.320 --> 03:27:16.200 Nano not even required! 03:27:16.200 --> 03:27:19.880 Landon takes down Shu, but Sada on top! 03:27:19.880 --> 03:27:20.880 Virtus. 03:27:20.880 --> 03:27:21.880 Pro! 03:27:21.880 --> 03:27:27.300 They made it look close, but Asia's number one great supreme 03:27:27.640 --> 03:27:31.440 We get a rematch in the upper finals 03:27:31.640 --> 03:27:39.700 It will be crazy racoon versus Zeta division and what a match that will be but Virtus Pro 03:27:40.000 --> 03:27:42.480 This was the upper bracket. They get a second chance 03:27:42.480 --> 03:27:46.520 They drop to the lower bracket and with the improvements that they've shown in 03:27:46.520 --> 03:27:52.680 in comparison to the performances in the group stages. And yes, they leaps and binds for this team. 03:27:52.680 --> 03:27:58.120 They look so different. They look dominant. They look like they could have been first seed EMEA. 03:27:59.560 --> 03:28:01.320 There's a couple of smiles there too. I saw 03:28:02.280 --> 03:28:09.320 Psycho giving him a big grin. And yeah, I think that's it. That hope there. That very, very close series. 03:28:09.320 --> 03:28:12.680 They pulled maps off Zeta. Yeah, they almost got Rialto. 03:28:12.680 --> 03:28:18.200 They almost got realtor. It really did like come down to a one versus one versus one versus one. 03:28:18.200 --> 03:28:24.600 Yeah. But that was one of the closest maps in Overwatch history. It's so rare that we see it come 03:28:24.600 --> 03:28:31.800 down to the wire in that fashion. But it truly was like you said, Virtus.Pro have the hope. They've 03:28:31.800 --> 03:28:37.320 got that spark now ignited. They have the motivation. They know it's possible. If you can pull maps 03:28:37.320 --> 03:28:43.000 against Zeta by letting the bashing cap through and dealing with that composition. You don't have to 03:28:43.000 --> 03:28:48.600 be as scared about the current meta coming on through from the Korean region. Yeah, look, 03:28:48.600 --> 03:28:54.200 didn't expect it to be this close, but absolutely bang a four map series. You mentioned it already, 03:28:54.200 --> 03:28:59.560 crazy raccoon Zeta. It's going to be a rematch. However, Virtus.Pro are knocked down to the 03:28:59.560 --> 03:29:03.720 lower bracket. They got no more lifelines left. They're going to join the Chinese and the North 03:29:03.720 --> 03:29:09.160 American teams down there as well. They can hope they can make it through to that lower finals. 03:29:09.160 --> 03:29:14.040 In front of the home crowd, though, is Zeta. Well, Prosti is going to do a little bit of talking. 03:29:14.760 --> 03:29:18.760 Maybe a little bit more than talking. I think after that one, they want to shore this one up, 03:29:18.760 --> 03:29:22.280 making sure that crazy raccoon match is going to go their way. 03:29:22.280 --> 03:29:26.360 I mean, that has the potential to go the distance. Like the last time on these two teams map, 03:29:26.360 --> 03:29:31.400 there was a seven map. Yeah. Oh, yeah. We're going to quickly jump down to the stage, though, 03:29:31.400 --> 03:29:33.480 So for a quick interview, we'll see you in a sec. 03:29:33.480 --> 03:29:40.280 For our big congratulations on getting the win, I want to ask you about after losing New 03:29:40.280 --> 03:29:46.280 Junk City, were there any changes that the team had to make in order to secure a win? 03:29:46.280 --> 03:29:51.280 What I want to ask is, unfortunately, you lost in New York City. 03:29:51.280 --> 03:29:56.280 What was the advantage of the team? 03:29:56.280 --> 03:30:05.280 How did you win the game after you lost in New York City? 03:30:05.280 --> 03:30:21.280 We were going to try our best, but I think the opponent did a good job of preparing for our counter-attacks, so let's try to play a little bit more. 03:30:21.280 --> 03:30:24.280 I think that's what we were going to do. 03:30:35.280 --> 03:30:40.980 to put a twist in our gameplay, and I think that's how we got the win today. 03:30:40.980 --> 03:30:47.760 At first, I was thinking that I'd like to go with the style I had planned, but the opponent, 03:30:47.760 --> 03:31:02.320 VP, was pretty good at countering it, so I thought I'd change the style and move on to the next game. 03:31:02.320 --> 03:31:10.520 And also looking forward, tomorrow you guys have the upper bracket finals. You guys will be facing off against crazy raccoons. 03:31:10.520 --> 03:31:15.460 What do you think about that match? How confident are you that Zeta could defeat crazy raccoons tomorrow? 03:31:15.460 --> 03:31:29.060 Tomorrow is the upper bracket final, so we will be fighting with Crazy Raccoon, but how confident will you be in the Zeta division? 03:31:29.060 --> 03:31:37.460 I think it will be a very interesting event. The Zeta and Raccoon match will be held, but will you be able to win tomorrow? 03:31:37.460 --> 03:31:48.460 First of all, we won the last Raccoon finals, but I think Raccoon is really good these days, so I think it will be an easy game. 03:31:48.460 --> 03:31:55.460 But we have won this game, so we will try to win it again. 03:32:07.460 --> 03:32:09.460 We will try our best. 03:33:07.460 --> 03:33:16.460 as well. Both of them have been showing improvements like Virtus.Pro as we said have been able to deal with both the Bastion Cat meta as well as play it themselves 03:33:16.460 --> 03:33:26.460 plus Kevster with the Cassidy in the back pocket. We do know that both these teams haven't really played the Mizuki as well though so you don't have to worry about that additional composition coming to the mix 03:33:26.460 --> 03:33:35.460 because again I really do feel that was something that the Korean teams purposely kept hidden. Everyone was like is it a big composition? Is Mizuki really that good? 03:33:35.460 --> 03:33:37.400 good. No, it turns out. Yeah, 03:33:37.400 --> 03:33:40.800 this is actually something that is very much viable and really good at shutting 03:33:40.800 --> 03:33:44.540 down things like the sojourn and that's ours. So you don't have to ban it out. 03:33:44.660 --> 03:33:47.300 Well, we'll find out how the match goes down just after this. 03:33:47.300 --> 03:33:48.700 We're going to jump to a quick break. Don't go anywhere. 03:33:48.700 --> 03:33:49.900 Desk is going to set that one up. 03:34:05.460 --> 03:34:26.940 I'm here to join by Coach Christopher from SSG. 03:34:26.940 --> 03:34:30.580 Hey, like we were chatting right before this interview started. 03:34:30.580 --> 03:34:31.580 Hey, things happened. 03:34:31.580 --> 03:34:34.820 It was a bit of an unfortunate outcome, I think, for SSG. 03:34:34.820 --> 03:34:36.620 Hey, I know you guys tried your best. 03:34:36.620 --> 03:34:39.980 So as a coach, Christopher, if you could sort of tell us, 03:34:39.980 --> 03:34:43.340 what was the biggest, I guess, problem for SSG 03:34:43.340 --> 03:34:46.420 in the Champions Clash? 03:34:46.420 --> 03:34:48.420 I guess it all kind of comes down to two decision points, 03:34:48.420 --> 03:34:48.980 I think. 03:34:48.980 --> 03:34:52.300 The first decision point is that we couldn't play Kat Bastian, 03:34:52.300 --> 03:34:54.140 and we couldn't win on it, which I think 03:34:54.140 --> 03:34:56.620 makes it difficult at this moment in time. 03:34:56.620 --> 03:34:58.380 And then the second was at least today, 03:34:58.380 --> 03:35:00.860 we kind of took a gamble that we thought 03:35:00.860 --> 03:35:07.300 could beat it as opposed to Bannet. You have two options either you just try to 03:35:07.300 --> 03:35:12.780 Bannet twice and guarantee lose that third map or you gamble like you can win 03:35:12.780 --> 03:35:16.300 one of the maps with it open and then third map they can't you can guarantee 03:35:16.300 --> 03:35:21.340 but and we thought okay Oasis maybe it's not that good for Cat Bastion but I mean 03:35:21.340 --> 03:35:24.380 to be honest we should win Oasis because once they pick the wrong pick we can't 03:35:24.380 --> 03:35:30.820 lose but we did lose and and then yeah I guess the same thing with Kings where we 03:35:30.820 --> 03:35:33.220 We kind of gambled that we could beat it. 03:35:33.220 --> 03:35:35.420 And then map-free, in theory, they can't play it. 03:35:35.420 --> 03:35:39.100 But if you lose, every decision's bad. 03:35:39.100 --> 03:35:42.140 And also, I mean, with losing, you also 03:35:42.140 --> 03:35:45.060 gain another experience to move forward. 03:35:45.060 --> 03:35:49.300 As a coach, at this time right now, with two losses 03:35:49.300 --> 03:35:51.140 and getting out of Champions Clash, 03:35:51.140 --> 03:35:55.060 what can you say to your, I guess, players? 03:35:55.060 --> 03:35:56.660 I think even though it doesn't look that way, 03:35:56.660 --> 03:35:58.340 I think as a team, we have made improvements 03:35:58.340 --> 03:36:03.740 through our first stage together, but I guess one thing that we also have to look 03:36:03.740 --> 03:36:07.780 ourselves in the mirror and realise is the gap between us and the teams that we 03:36:07.780 --> 03:36:11.500 want to be able to compete against is too big right now, like it should be 03:36:11.500 --> 03:36:14.740 closer than it is, I think. 03:36:28.340 --> 03:36:30.400 you 03:36:58.340 --> 03:37:00.400 you 03:37:28.340 --> 03:37:30.400 you 03:37:58.340 --> 03:38:00.400 you 03:38:28.340 --> 03:38:30.400 you 03:38:58.340 --> 03:39:00.340 You 03:39:28.340 --> 03:39:38.340 I've been wondering these places Trying to find where I know I belong 03:39:38.340 --> 03:39:45.340 And I've seen too many faces Oh, I know we're once and all alone 03:39:45.340 --> 03:39:53.340 It's an impossible state that I'm feeling The pressure is building aside from my fate 03:39:53.340 --> 03:39:59.340 Tell me it's real and I swear that you mean it, yeah, you mean it 03:40:00.340 --> 03:40:04.340 So don't try to deny, don't you try to deny 03:40:04.340 --> 03:40:06.340 You ain't leaving here alone 03:40:06.340 --> 03:40:08.340 No, we ain't no, no, no 03:40:08.340 --> 03:40:10.340 When I'm with you, I'm sorry 03:40:10.340 --> 03:40:11.340 When I'm with you, I'm sorry 03:40:11.340 --> 03:40:14.340 And I just want you here, it's on you 03:40:14.340 --> 03:40:19.340 Got me feeling, got me feeling 03:40:19.340 --> 03:40:22.340 I'm lucky when you're by my side 03:40:52.340 --> 03:40:54.340 It's not a thing, it's not a problem 03:40:54.340 --> 03:40:56.340 It's not been found 03:40:56.340 --> 03:40:58.340 It's not been found 03:40:58.340 --> 03:41:00.340 It's not been found 03:41:00.340 --> 03:41:02.340 It's not been found 03:41:22.340 --> 03:41:24.340 And I can feel it 03:41:24.340 --> 03:41:26.340 Baby hear me 03:41:26.340 --> 03:41:28.340 And never leave me 03:41:28.340 --> 03:41:30.340 I'm flying all the ground 03:41:30.340 --> 03:41:32.340 If you just trust 03:41:32.340 --> 03:41:34.340 In my feelings 03:41:34.340 --> 03:41:36.340 I can breathe again 03:41:36.340 --> 03:41:38.340 Touching skin to skin 03:41:38.340 --> 03:41:40.340 I feel the love 03:41:40.340 --> 03:41:42.340 Baby let me in 03:41:42.340 --> 03:41:44.340 Just the two of us 03:41:44.340 --> 03:41:46.340 And for the love within 03:41:46.340 --> 03:41:48.340 I'd love to keep running 03:41:48.340 --> 03:41:50.340 Let's make believe 03:41:50.340 --> 03:41:52.340 Keep it coming in 03:41:52.340 --> 03:41:54.340 You make it back, bring it in 03:41:54.340 --> 03:41:56.340 I love it in 03:41:56.340 --> 03:41:58.340 If you believe in me 03:41:58.340 --> 03:42:00.340 I love it in 03:42:00.340 --> 03:42:02.340 So love, love, kill it all 03:42:08.340 --> 03:42:10.340 I want to love, love, kill it all 03:42:16.340 --> 03:42:18.340 So love, love, kill it all 03:42:50.340 --> 03:43:06.340 I can breathe again, touching skin to skin, I feel the love, baby let me in, just a zoo of us, some for the love within. 03:43:06.340 --> 03:43:08.340 Let's keep running 03:43:08.340 --> 03:43:10.340 Let's make believe 03:43:10.340 --> 03:43:12.340 Keep me coming 03:43:12.340 --> 03:43:14.340 You make me feel free 03:43:14.340 --> 03:43:16.340 And I love it 03:43:16.340 --> 03:43:18.340 It's your need 03:43:18.340 --> 03:43:20.340 And I love it 03:43:20.340 --> 03:43:22.340 It's the love of you 03:43:28.340 --> 03:43:30.340 Come to love 03:43:30.340 --> 03:43:32.340 For you 03:44:06.340 --> 03:44:11.060 And Danny, who is also working with us, is also working with us, right Danny? 03:44:11.060 --> 03:44:13.060 Yes, Danny.

It probably was. And he gave it away. Our audience here is incredible. 03:53:28.940 --> 03:53:34.220 The energy in here is wonderful. And I am delighted because I got Moxie and Ash with 03:53:34.220 --> 03:53:39.900 me here on the desk to break that. The series we just got to witness, not watching, witnessing. 03:53:40.460 --> 03:53:44.220 And we're going to set you up for our next match, which will be in the lower bracket. 03:53:44.220 --> 03:53:48.460 So everything on the line for these two teams. But first, let's talk about what we just saw. 03:53:48.460 --> 03:53:55.020 Yes, set a division wanted, but ash man like VP they played it so close. I don't think anyone 03:53:55.020 --> 03:54:00.380 thought that this series would be this clutch. No, I mean you're setting it up top of dig. 03:54:03.820 --> 03:54:09.820 And I love that I was wrong about this. I know it was so sick to see VP bringing it to Zeta Division. 03:54:09.820 --> 03:54:15.980 There is a world where this could have gone all five maps. Realtor was so close. Overall though, 03:54:15.980 --> 03:54:19.700 I think that, you know, you have to give a lot of credit to Zeta Division. 03:54:19.700 --> 03:54:25.640 Bernard was having an insane series as well on that Sigma, but focusing back into that 03:54:25.640 --> 03:54:30.620 VP Moxie, I really am impressed with how solid Kepster has been. 03:54:30.620 --> 03:54:35.780 He had an insane game the other day up against all gamers, and overall, he's continuing 03:54:35.780 --> 03:54:38.700 with that momentum and the prowess on that Cassidy. 03:54:38.700 --> 03:54:41.900 Yeah, what was really impressive for me for Virtus.Pro was the fact that they were able 03:54:41.900 --> 03:54:43.740 to come back with momentum, right? 03:54:43.740 --> 03:54:49.220 It was a very one-sided map of Ilya's well, poor old Iceland, I feel like so, more of 03:54:49.220 --> 03:54:52.980 the inside of the world than the rest of the map duration. 03:54:52.980 --> 03:54:57.140 But they were able to come through, pull a map against Zeta Division, and you saw it 03:54:57.140 --> 03:55:00.940 at the end when we commented when we were casting, when they were doing the Handshake. 03:55:00.940 --> 03:55:05.860 They were happy, even though, yes, they didn't physically, and literally when, they still 03:55:05.860 --> 03:55:08.380 sort of won in terms of the mental game, right? 03:55:08.380 --> 03:55:11.460 You now have the confidence to pull the map against Zeta, you're coming into this as 03:55:11.460 --> 03:55:15.700 the second seed in EMEA. You don't know if you're going to be able to come into the international 03:55:15.700 --> 03:55:19.300 stage and keep up with everyone, especially when the meta changes, but they've shown, 03:55:19.300 --> 03:55:22.740 they've proved that they can hang with these teams and they can best them. 03:55:22.740 --> 03:55:27.060 That instills so much confidence for VP going into this lower bracket matchup. 03:55:27.060 --> 03:55:30.820 Yeah, and I mean, it's a short turnaround, but I guess another positive you can take 03:55:30.820 --> 03:55:34.340 away from Europe for VP is also like, you're coming in with hot hands, right? You're coming 03:55:34.340 --> 03:55:39.780 in with a confidence booster, knowing that you made this look so very close as you just said, Ash. 03:55:39.780 --> 03:55:43.740 So, yeah, what will we see from these two teams? 03:55:43.740 --> 03:55:48.260 Because neither of them is going to be super partial to playing the Cat Bash meta. 03:55:48.260 --> 03:55:51.300 Now, both of them have an opportunity to play their own strength, 03:55:51.300 --> 03:55:54.380 Syroge, I think could make this a very exciting match. 03:55:54.380 --> 03:55:57.020 Yeah, there's a world where we have a little bit of a gentleman's agreement, 03:55:57.020 --> 03:55:59.220 not having the Cat Bash didn't come through. 03:55:59.380 --> 03:56:02.380 I think what a big standout for me as well here for the side of VP 03:56:02.380 --> 03:56:06.180 is they continue to prove that Ujung City is their best map. 03:56:06.180 --> 03:56:07.900 It was so impressive to see. 03:56:07.900 --> 03:56:14.620 They go down 100 to 0 on that first point, and then it's 100 to 0 for them full sweeping the rest of that one. 03:56:14.620 --> 03:56:20.060 I mean, there's actually a really smart game of the system that Dallas could potentially do if they lose the first map, 03:56:20.060 --> 03:56:25.900 and that's take us to a flashpoint, which is not New Junk City, to sweep it away from both sides. 03:56:25.900 --> 03:56:30.940 Yeah, and also just quickly want to mention Mizuki went still through the roof. 03:56:30.940 --> 03:56:36.300 Also, it's got to be meta because VP bans Mizuki and they win a map. 03:56:36.300 --> 03:56:37.780 just throwing it out there. 03:56:37.780 --> 03:56:41.740 If Zeta and Crazy Raccoon are both playing Mizuki, 03:56:41.740 --> 03:56:43.420 like for sure it's META. 03:56:43.420 --> 03:56:45.260 And it was actually doing like so much 03:56:45.260 --> 03:56:47.700 to be able to shut down a lot of power plays. 03:56:47.700 --> 03:56:48.540 It really was. 03:56:48.540 --> 03:56:49.220 I'm kind of curious. 03:56:49.220 --> 03:56:51.100 I'm like, OK, do we see? 03:56:51.100 --> 03:56:53.100 Diem is one of those teams where I can see them pulling 03:56:53.100 --> 03:56:53.700 the funny out. 03:56:53.700 --> 03:56:54.180 Exactly. 03:56:54.180 --> 03:56:56.060 You know, I'm pulling the Mizuki out here. 03:56:56.060 --> 03:56:58.780 I think CJ is one of these players in this double flex 03:56:58.780 --> 03:57:01.180 support lineup that's been so consistent. 03:57:01.180 --> 03:57:03.180 Luke, you know, is the one that we always talk about 03:57:03.180 --> 03:57:05.420 because of how aggressive he gets on Betalari, 03:57:05.420 --> 03:57:10.160 on that back, but CJ is always there holding down that back line. Not just, you know, the 03:57:10.160 --> 03:57:14.260 Alari, but also the Wu Yang. Yeah. But we're using a little bit of Wu Yang. He's sort 03:57:14.260 --> 03:57:19.280 of fallen out. He's not as strong as he was in 2025. But look, you know, having that flexibility 03:57:19.280 --> 03:57:23.440 and also potentially forcing out a ban on the Alari since the sport don't really play 03:57:23.440 --> 03:57:27.840 it themselves could be really strong. It's also like we had weeds on the desk yesterday, 03:57:27.840 --> 03:57:32.360 right? For our post show, and it did say that they didn't expect to win their first match 03:57:32.360 --> 03:57:37.240 in that upper bracket, so they kind of knew that they're going to make that lower bracket 03:57:37.240 --> 03:57:38.240 run. 03:57:38.240 --> 03:57:44.160 They recovered so well at the same day in their match in the lower bracket to stay alive. 03:57:44.160 --> 03:57:48.280 And I wonder, is it giving them an advantage now? 03:57:48.280 --> 03:57:51.160 Obviously, they got to sit back during this first series. 03:57:51.160 --> 03:57:52.760 They got to watch VP. 03:57:52.760 --> 03:57:54.200 What do you think their takeaway is? 03:57:54.200 --> 03:57:57.760 Was there a particular crack in the armor that they could abuse just based on what they 03:57:57.760 --> 03:58:01.160 saw VP playing against Crazy Raccoon? 03:58:01.160 --> 03:58:05.200 I think you want to get rid of 03:58:05.200 --> 03:58:07.200 the Zarya during one of those 03:58:07.200 --> 03:58:09.200 masks. It's consistently been 03:58:09.200 --> 03:58:11.200 one of ice's best heroes in the 03:58:11.200 --> 03:58:13.200 pool. We've seen him making 03:58:13.200 --> 03:58:15.200 plays, especially with those 03:58:15.200 --> 03:58:17.200 grabs as well. Sometimes you 03:58:17.200 --> 03:58:19.200 know, not always able to follow 03:58:19.200 --> 03:58:21.200 up on it because of how well 03:58:21.200 --> 03:58:23.200 Zeta were responding in that 03:58:23.200 --> 03:58:25.200 match, though. I mean, 03:58:25.200 --> 03:58:26.200 potentially this are also 03:58:26.200 --> 03:58:27.200 potentially the diva something 03:58:27.200 --> 03:58:29.200 that you and I were talking 03:58:29.200 --> 03:58:30.200 about in the back before the 03:58:30.200 --> 03:58:33.200 or the signal could actually be a really good shout for Dallas Fuel. 03:58:33.200 --> 03:58:37.200 Yeah, it's definitely going to be a different series from what we've seen thus far in this tournament 03:58:37.200 --> 03:58:43.200 because we are playing with two teams that can throw a lot of silly stuff into the mix. 03:58:43.200 --> 03:58:46.200 That is not meta or not considered meta and that might be this gentleman's agreement. 03:58:46.200 --> 03:58:49.200 Looking at the predictions here, I had to go with Dallas Fuel. 03:58:49.200 --> 03:58:53.200 I just think overall their skill ceiling is higher than what we've seen from VP. 03:58:53.200 --> 03:58:58.200 I feel like VP has shown more than one time not just in this tournament 03:58:58.200 --> 03:59:01.840 that they can be tripped up in terms of composition. 03:59:01.840 --> 03:59:03.240 Also maps where we take them. 03:59:03.240 --> 03:59:05.280 So I feel like for Dallas Fuel, 03:59:05.280 --> 03:59:06.120 it should be theirs to win. 03:59:06.120 --> 03:59:07.840 I hope for a close match though, of course. 03:59:07.840 --> 03:59:09.480 I also hope for a close match. 03:59:09.480 --> 03:59:11.880 I had to go with VP for this one. 03:59:11.880 --> 03:59:14.080 I know you're gonna call me up for the licensing bias. 03:59:14.080 --> 03:59:17.520 So yeah, I would do that to hear that. 03:59:17.520 --> 03:59:19.480 But I mean granted, I think with VP, 03:59:19.480 --> 03:59:21.400 what's been the most impressive to me 03:59:21.400 --> 03:59:23.560 is the fact that they've been so adaptive. 03:59:23.560 --> 03:59:25.880 We talked about how ruling the first of two day 03:59:25.880 --> 03:59:29.120 was yesterday and to be able to have these turnarounds and have those 03:59:29.120 --> 03:59:32.000 comebacks that you were talking about earlier, was it great to see? 03:59:32.000 --> 03:59:36.120 Yeah, I mean I won't call you after recency by a spot, I will join you because I'm also going 03:59:36.120 --> 03:59:39.440 for the spot right there coming into this hot, they've got the confidence, I think they're 03:59:39.440 --> 03:59:40.440 going to be able to take it. 03:59:40.440 --> 03:59:44.000 Yeah, well let's see which team is going to come out on top, they've got to both bring 03:59:44.000 --> 03:59:48.720 their A-game because this one is for all the marbles, their playoffs lives are on the line, 03:59:48.720 --> 03:59:51.920 Dallas Fuel and VP will crash after a short break. 04:00:25.880 --> 04:00:27.880 First of all, this team! 04:00:27.880 --> 04:00:29.880 Battle floor! 04:00:29.880 --> 04:00:30.880 Let's go! 04:00:51.880 --> 04:00:52.880 Let's go! 04:00:53.880 --> 04:00:54.880 Now! 04:00:59.880 --> 04:01:04.880 Starting of the match will be played at the end of the show. 04:01:04.880 --> 04:01:09.880 The match will be played at the end of the match. 04:01:09.880 --> 04:01:11.880 The match will be played at the end of the show. 04:01:12.880 --> 04:01:16.880 All the players will be getting ready for a match. 04:01:16.880 --> 04:01:19.880 Please look forward to the match. 04:01:29.880 --> 04:01:39.880 Welcome back to the Ode WCS Champions Clash here live in Tokyo VP vs Dallas Fuel and we 04:01:39.880 --> 04:01:46.040 had to bring in our NA EMEA expert Avril and Avril, you had to sit back and watch, you 04:01:46.040 --> 04:01:53.320 had to watch back Zeta, NCR back to back and then you come out here for our NA EMEA Super 04:01:53.320 --> 04:01:55.600 Matches, we always come out here for that event. 04:01:55.600 --> 04:01:59.400 I mean this is the game, this is the game that people should care about NA vs EMEA 04:01:59.400 --> 04:02:05.680 Is like the rivalry right? I mean we got we got Asia in there. Yeah, Japan and China. What the really and a yeah 04:02:05.680 --> 04:02:06.520 That's what it's all about man 04:02:06.520 --> 04:02:09.960 I was really impressed with the Virtus Pro in their game against Zeta 04:02:09.960 --> 04:02:14.760 Obviously, they don't come out on top because we're here in the loser bracket, but I I thought they looked really good 04:02:14.760 --> 04:02:16.760 They played them tough on multiple different maps 04:02:17.160 --> 04:02:21.040 Although you were saying you thought the Dallas actually look fared pretty well against crazy record 04:02:21.040 --> 04:02:26.360 I think they had a decent showing but VP definitely played Zeta way close in the game that we just watched so right now 04:02:26.360 --> 04:02:29.000 Probably a little scary for Dallas also VP pretty warmed up 04:02:29.000 --> 04:02:30.920 They're just kind of playing black to back. 04:02:30.920 --> 04:02:37.000 I mean, maybe you jump and shred this one versus Dallas field who are gonna need to spend a little bit of time in the practice room to 04:02:37.000 --> 04:02:40.220 Get themselves going but given how good VP played 04:02:40.220 --> 04:02:44.320 I mean, I think VP should feel good about going to this game. Absolutely and that's one thing 04:02:44.320 --> 04:02:49.000 That's always kind of a you know, highly debated whether you know, you want to kind of play back to back 04:02:49.000 --> 04:02:53.280 You want a little bit of a break? I kind of like I know ending up playing that back to back 04:02:53.280 --> 04:02:59.940 When you take a look here at the map set so it's VP's map pick they end up going with Oasis here 04:02:59.940 --> 04:03:05.340 So this has really been I think outside of one time. I know what we've seen you know some of the EMEA teams 04:03:05.740 --> 04:03:07.740 Really kind of favor Oasis 04:03:07.900 --> 04:03:13.160 So like one or couple of early Oshiz so far first bands are going to be Anna and Diva 04:03:13.660 --> 04:03:14.440 Targeting Iks 04:03:14.440 --> 04:03:19.580 I mean you saw how good Ices Diva was in that game versus Ada no surprises down 04:03:19.580 --> 04:03:22.380 He's also going to come in, also Kellan, by the way, on the Dallas side. 04:03:22.380 --> 04:03:23.380 He's a main tank player. 04:03:23.380 --> 04:03:25.140 He can jump on the D.Va, but he doesn't prefer it. 04:03:25.140 --> 04:03:27.300 He wouldn't like it if he just didn't play the D.Va. 04:03:27.300 --> 04:03:29.940 This is a nice asymmetrical ban to start things out with. 04:03:29.940 --> 04:03:31.100 So he was talking in the back, though. 04:03:31.100 --> 04:03:33.420 The Ice Zarya kind of goes hard. 04:03:33.420 --> 04:03:37.300 I mean, you know, on King's Row, he was putting up pretty good performance there against Zeta. 04:03:37.300 --> 04:03:41.340 So we'll see where Ice Nome goes in terms of his hero pool. 04:03:41.340 --> 04:03:44.540 Because, right last year, this team kind of comes out with Vessel and Ice on the roster 04:03:44.540 --> 04:03:46.060 for most of the season. 04:03:46.060 --> 04:03:48.620 And then this one, they now kind of drop down to just Ice. 04:03:48.620 --> 04:03:53.100 So, his puro pools really I think been tested by a lot of teams over the course of EMEA 04:03:53.100 --> 04:03:55.220 and then now here at Champions Clash. 04:03:55.220 --> 04:03:57.300 Also looking towards, you know, some of the other positions here. 04:03:57.300 --> 04:04:01.340 I'm really looking forward to the Chronic vs Kepster bout and our Kepster has had quite 04:04:01.340 --> 04:04:02.340 a turn around. 04:04:02.340 --> 04:04:05.700 I think early in the year, news of him moving towards the headscam position was like, ooh, 04:04:05.700 --> 04:04:06.700 how's this going to go? 04:04:06.700 --> 04:04:10.860 But now that we reach Champions Clash, dude, his cast so far has been deadly. 04:04:10.860 --> 04:04:12.540 It's been disgustingly good. 04:04:12.540 --> 04:04:13.780 Chronoks need to show up today. 04:04:13.780 --> 04:04:18.300 No, it's always awesome to see Kepster kind of, now back on top, back on the main stage 04:04:18.300 --> 04:04:24.020 He's been gone for a brief period of time, really just kind of those last two major events last season 04:04:24.020 --> 04:04:27.180 I also think you're looking at like land in here for VP to have a big game 04:04:27.180 --> 04:04:33.380 And then for VP and there are series against Zed division a lot of odd sound barriers and some of the ultimates that come out from 04:04:33.580 --> 04:04:34.940 VIXA so 04:04:34.940 --> 04:04:39.980 See if he's able to make those adjustments here going into this series 04:04:39.980 --> 04:04:45.420 But Dallas they've had some time to sit around and watch I know coming on the stage maybe a little bit cold 04:04:45.420 --> 04:04:47.420 I'm interested to see how they start off 04:04:48.300 --> 04:04:50.940 So with the backline land so far, Luke Mino on the Wu Young so far, 04:04:50.940 --> 04:04:54.700 I mean that's something that he did also play in the Crazy Raccoon game. 04:04:54.700 --> 04:04:57.700 One of the few teams on the few plays that's willing to go in that direction. 04:04:57.700 --> 04:04:59.700 Let's see if any of the teams will actually go into the Camp Bash. 04:04:59.700 --> 04:05:02.300 Notably, Camp Bash had not banned an opening map. 04:05:02.300 --> 04:05:05.900 And I think both of these teams, not that one to play, it bakes on the previous matches. 04:05:05.900 --> 04:05:09.300 So, they're going to get him in agreement this one, just handshake it away. 04:05:09.300 --> 04:05:11.900 No Camp Bash in place, a normal honest overwatch. 04:05:12.900 --> 04:05:17.900 With a chance to see what VP decides to do here is, yeah, the Cassidy's available. 04:05:17.900 --> 04:05:21.140 He's been kind of locking that in the entire event. 04:05:21.140 --> 04:05:24.180 So, Psycho gonna go over and play Tracer, 04:05:24.180 --> 04:05:27.340 gonna can play in some sim and then also some Reaper here as well. 04:05:27.340 --> 04:05:29.700 Sondra gonna come out and play the far. 04:05:29.700 --> 04:05:31.340 So, this is actually a comfort Dallas field 04:05:31.340 --> 04:05:33.460 that a lot of other teams are actually running with the Mizuki, right? 04:05:33.460 --> 04:05:34.620 But they're playing with the Wuyo. 04:05:34.620 --> 04:05:35.980 Yeah, I wouldn't expect the Mizuki too early 04:05:35.980 --> 04:05:38.860 because I think it's better on the sort of hybrid escort type of maps. 04:05:38.860 --> 04:05:41.300 Really open. Mizuki might suffer a little bit. 04:05:41.300 --> 04:05:42.500 Right now, they fight so far. 04:05:42.500 --> 04:05:43.700 Kevster has his work cut out for him 04:05:43.700 --> 04:05:45.260 because he needs to be the one shutting down Sondra. 04:05:45.260 --> 04:05:46.980 There's no D.Va as a reminder. 04:05:46.980 --> 04:05:50.880 Yes, I still actually get stunned there for a brief period of time as he's a cardiac overdrive. 04:05:50.880 --> 04:05:56.580 Finds chronic, but they lose it, fix it right away, so not gonna have the speed to get them back towards the point. 04:05:56.580 --> 04:05:58.880 Close the gap, get past this Sigma shield. 04:05:58.880 --> 04:06:01.580 One-to-one so far, but this point's still very open for either team. 04:06:01.580 --> 04:06:03.380 I still got quite low in that fight. 04:06:03.380 --> 04:06:05.380 Please be careful about how he approaches Kevin. 04:06:05.380 --> 04:06:07.080 Ultimates still a little further away. 04:06:07.080 --> 04:06:08.380 I still need to be again though. 04:06:08.380 --> 04:06:09.180 Damn it, now. 04:06:09.180 --> 04:06:12.580 He's just getting chunked with rockets from the side, from the Zungeons. 04:06:12.580 --> 04:06:14.080 Kev is in a robbed spot. 04:06:14.080 --> 04:06:17.080 Nice claims that comes on through the roll here. 04:06:17.080 --> 04:06:21.080 Cab using the movement, just not good enough there to stay alive. 04:06:21.080 --> 04:06:23.080 The far has really been an issue early. 04:06:23.080 --> 04:06:25.080 Why about Ice making it out of Fortsch? 04:06:25.080 --> 04:06:27.080 He got on a sliver, but still finished off now onto Vasari. 04:06:27.080 --> 04:06:29.080 Like you mentioned, a little bit earlier. 04:06:29.080 --> 04:06:32.080 Landon, a little bit closer than CJ towards the ultimate. 04:06:32.080 --> 04:06:34.080 CJ's basically closed the door on that one now. 04:06:34.080 --> 04:06:37.080 It is going to be Virtus.Pro's opportunity into this new fight. 04:06:37.080 --> 04:06:39.080 Probably dead eye to open out with. 04:06:39.080 --> 04:06:41.080 What do you think of Vasari in the thick here? 04:06:41.080 --> 04:06:42.080 Swap. 04:06:42.080 --> 04:06:47.120 I'm certainly going to give some capability for Ice to have a bit more safety in terms 04:06:47.120 --> 04:06:48.120 of the bubble usage here. 04:06:48.120 --> 04:06:49.620 He's just going to be personal on his post. 04:06:49.620 --> 04:06:52.240 He doesn't have like great bubble targets. 04:06:52.240 --> 04:06:55.400 Still not great into unfortunately, the Farah though, so he's causing issues. 04:06:55.400 --> 04:06:57.280 I mean, hey, that's an odd trade though, right? 04:06:57.280 --> 04:06:59.960 The Farah and the Lucio kind of trading out here. 04:06:59.960 --> 04:07:01.640 You do have the Katsune rushes for both sides. 04:07:01.640 --> 04:07:06.840 It's going to be CJ popping his as well as Landon Bacronik with a huge rail gun shot. 04:07:06.840 --> 04:07:09.080 So both supports now down. 04:07:09.080 --> 04:07:16.520 Virtus pro gonna be in a really rough spot here is still gonna be Dallas fuel in control of the point fix it is back 04:07:16.520 --> 04:07:18.120 It's Azaria bubble there from ice though 04:07:18.120 --> 04:07:21.680 He's takes a rocket from Sunjin, but then you're gonna have to wait for land to get back in the fight 04:07:21.680 --> 04:07:23.680 I would have lost so available here 04:07:23.680 --> 04:07:27.360 Not a lot of great targets and fortune might just drop it onto himself look me know just dive in 04:07:27.800 --> 04:07:33.280 Possibly could be used offensively on the Sunjin and when Sunjin wants to go towards his own barrage in nice safety 04:07:33.800 --> 04:07:38.140 Burn us broke losing a bit of time again. They need to do something about this 70% plus on to you so far 04:07:38.140 --> 04:07:44.240 dead eye for Kev as he's gonna move up here gonna get the speed trend get him 04:07:44.240 --> 04:07:47.960 in position nothing really no even damage there it's a Sigma shield that 04:07:47.960 --> 04:07:50.380 kind of blocks this they're gonna be walking into that gravid flux here 04:07:50.380 --> 04:07:54.720 Trenn and Ike's not personal bubble not enough to save him not close enough to 04:07:54.720 --> 04:07:58.000 the sound bad for fix it either so I'm just gonna clean up and that like just 04:07:58.000 --> 04:08:02.140 me the end of the first round man I'm not left here yeah the title blast here on 04:08:02.140 --> 04:08:05.880 the sun Jimmy he's gonna go in trying to find anybody but everybody around him 04:08:05.880 --> 04:08:12.840 up falling. You're not even gonna really even need a challenge at Gravitic Flux. They will get it in the OT. Fixed us so close to a 04:08:12.840 --> 04:08:19.840 sound barrier here after all. He's one HP. They needed that. They needed this so badly. Now I see the only one that might get a 04:08:19.840 --> 04:08:27.000 grab. Yeah, try and save the day, but you still need to keep this touch going. Cattle with the Flux. And no grab. No, I mean, this 04:08:27.000 --> 04:08:34.600 one is GG. That is really rare though, I feel like, because VP obviously, they're the team that just ends up kind of losing. 04:08:34.600 --> 04:08:39.180 They they're still pretty warm and fresh usually it takes the other team a little bit to get going but 04:08:39.460 --> 04:08:44.540 Dallas just kind of dominating there in that first round nice as well struggling opening up and you start on the Malga 04:08:44.980 --> 04:08:48.900 Recognize okay, I'm being farmed up a little bit by the sojourner on the other side here 04:08:48.900 --> 04:08:53.060 Gonna make the change over to desire also strangely enough when you look towards the mouth of a segment 04:08:53.260 --> 04:08:54.460 Typically you would expect okay 04:08:54.460 --> 04:08:57.900 You have a lot of safety charging on and nothing's gonna stop you to set up these fights 04:08:57.900 --> 04:09:03.740 But yeah, unfortunately, they didn't have a lot to deal with sojourner either who was really putting the damage and after 04:09:03.740 --> 04:09:10.760 Iksum gets in on the Malga. He's pretty susceptible. He's just taking damage and charging up those rails for chronic repeatedly 04:09:10.800 --> 04:09:13.960 By the time he changes over to the Zari didn't even have time to build up a single grab 04:09:14.040 --> 04:09:17.080 They didn't have a lot to deal with anybody there an ugly first round 04:09:17.600 --> 04:09:22.680 From VP and what do they answer with the honest overwatches over there? 04:09:23.240 --> 04:09:26.480 Straight to the cat bashing here. What all else? 04:09:27.480 --> 04:09:33.260 That's one way to deal with a far right you get that bashing right up in the far and stays me nowhere for something go 04:09:33.740 --> 04:09:39.160 Now they're gonna be in so this like this close quarter area is tough of the bastion to go into right but that's gonna force them off 04:09:39.160 --> 04:09:39.980 The far right away 04:09:39.980 --> 04:09:44.800 Which I actually think is really good for VP because I thought the far was the thing that gave them most trouble in that person 04:09:44.800 --> 04:09:48.620 I kept still wasn't getting a lot done in the cast and fortune just completely shielded away by killing segment 04:09:48.800 --> 04:09:52.680 We still on by the way to make his way in good rock to start things out with it 04:09:53.360 --> 04:09:57.900 But as Pro still holding on to cap pretty comfortably for now. What if we kept his next turret form to be available? 04:09:58.400 --> 04:10:01.940 Yeah, I mean they're trying to bait them out onto the point right that's when the turret for man the cap 04:10:01.940 --> 04:10:07.140 passion can really start to be effective as you can dodge there for just the 04:10:07.140 --> 04:10:10.520 second is this angle is so filthy right they're gonna try and like push him out 04:10:10.520 --> 04:10:14.300 right going up the staircase but you see some are having to use recall here and 04:10:14.300 --> 04:10:17.300 now the turret form is gonna come in he split the team as well you notice that 04:10:17.300 --> 04:10:19.580 Kelly actually dropped that way from the rest of the team but look me now on the 04:10:19.580 --> 04:10:22.220 other side managed to find Landon is traded for 04:10:22.220 --> 04:10:25.700 yeah the side well kept sit down as well psycho is doing a little work on this fight 04:10:25.700 --> 04:10:33.700 Yes, I do get Ice Nome extremely low though, so the Tracer is still alive here as the point is in control by VP. 04:10:33.700 --> 04:10:38.700 You also have Fixed End Land in here as well as not able to save Psychos. 04:10:38.700 --> 04:10:43.700 So you're popping off here on the Tracer as the Pulse is on, but both supporting a nice shot from VP keeping each other up. 04:10:43.700 --> 04:10:48.700 Sooner is here for CJ, wondering if Dallas Phil have a good position to just drop that rush in landed so a little bit further away. 04:10:48.700 --> 04:10:51.700 Point still in VP's control so Dallas Phil is powerful. 04:10:51.700 --> 04:10:54.700 They get Ice Nome back, this is great stall by VP. 04:10:55.700 --> 04:11:00.540 If so, looking, not finding CJ Riftz at Landon, has now found an ult, but then lose. 04:11:00.540 --> 04:11:03.300 I come so quickly. VP, have they got to even ult this one? 04:11:03.300 --> 04:11:05.100 Doesn't look like it. 04:11:05.100 --> 04:11:09.500 Ice just got disintegrated there. I mean, he kind of steps up onto the point after coming back. 04:11:09.500 --> 04:11:13.100 I thought it was really nice from Fixxon Landon to be able to kind of get it to that point, 04:11:13.100 --> 04:11:18.100 but Ice on steps up. CJ ends up dropping the Kitsune rush, and they just run them over. 04:11:18.100 --> 04:11:22.500 Look, they ulted some VP of held ult. We say 5 ult, 64% lead as well. 04:11:22.500 --> 04:11:29.200 A lot to use yet. Rush is obviously the big first ticket. See if they can maybe set something up with maybe a Kevstar 04:11:29.700 --> 04:11:33.060 Artillery here is all fixed to drag Kellen off the map land and going down 04:11:33.060 --> 04:11:39.460 It's gonna be a big flop next to reset. I mean you lose a land in here. This is gonna buy so much time for Dallas 04:11:40.260 --> 04:11:42.060 So we'll see now 04:11:42.060 --> 04:11:46.400 They can keep this one rolling so I still I'm gonna just wait just a little bit 04:11:46.400 --> 04:11:48.980 You do end up losing something as easy as the pulse bomb 04:11:48.980 --> 04:11:54.380 But now I mean you're gonna be able to use like this dead eye up on the high ground potentially you might be able to kind of weather the 04:11:54.380 --> 04:11:56.380 Storm through these big support ults 04:11:56.420 --> 04:12:00.460 What if a land and that's the go ticket fix taking a bunch of damage so it could be a bit problematic 04:12:00.460 --> 04:12:04.660 But here we go rip in the consumer watch big response to flux and title boss on the other side 04:12:05.820 --> 04:12:10.820 Yeah, the the end of kind of keeping himself alive there can with the artillery is 04:12:10.980 --> 04:12:17.020 The ends of getting picked up into the blocks ison with to has the annihilation rolling just trying to find the tracer 04:12:17.020 --> 04:12:20.940 It is just up to ice. Well, no, I think he's got maybe. Oh, yeah 04:12:20.940 --> 04:12:22.460 No, it's gonna be psycho back in the fight 04:12:22.460 --> 04:12:26.740 You do have lead fixer there as well up in the sky so they do get the turn 04:12:26.740 --> 04:12:31.060 But it costs them absolutely everything to do so Dallas feel dragged up to 65 04:12:31.060 --> 04:12:35.580 It's also the equalize in terms of percentage points ice on where the dust settles after annihilation 04:12:35.580 --> 04:12:39.620 I'm sorry still in the mix and a lorry now a swap from Luke Mina 04:12:39.620 --> 04:12:45.260 No, she's gonna be the cat. He's deciding what he wants to play the cat for the dead I combo has to be exactly why Luke 04:12:45.260 --> 04:12:51.800 would want this. Now you're just going to get Chronic up in the sky, escort him to 04:12:51.800 --> 04:12:55.340 the nasty angle. It's going to really put a lot of pressure on the ice there in the corner. 04:12:55.340 --> 04:13:00.340 No! Kipster! Just rounds the corner and burns him down. I mean it's just, Ike's not in the 04:13:00.340 --> 04:13:04.460 open to try and bait out the deadline while that's happening. Kipster turns the corner. 04:13:04.460 --> 04:13:08.980 Chronic not ready for that one. VP in his position now. Aerial battle, fix the Texas. 04:13:08.980 --> 04:13:12.220 From Lukmino and now it's just up to CJ. Dallas would have done it if anything, let 04:13:12.220 --> 04:13:17.220 No further touch, no Cusune rush, and a last minute swap to Sombra and not going to be quick enough either. 04:13:17.220 --> 04:13:24.220 I like the adjustments from VP though, right? We were talking a little bit about how dominant that Pharoah was in that round one, and then it looks a lot more even, right? 04:13:24.220 --> 04:13:35.220 When you have an assumption on the tracer being matched by Psycho, it can really start to open things up for the rest of the team, and then the Bastion swap from Kev is we take a look at some of the Sassu Psycho's. 04:13:35.220 --> 04:13:39.220 It's only got one death, which is pretty crazy considering how that first round looked. 04:13:39.220 --> 04:13:43.620 He was definitely staying alive, even if EP weren't winning that first round. 04:13:43.620 --> 04:13:46.780 They certainly do a lot more winning on that second round with the fact that they're showing 04:13:46.780 --> 04:13:50.900 their capability to flex back over towards the cap bash, and even when, you know, they've 04:13:50.900 --> 04:13:54.020 been a team that hasn't been as willing to play, certainly Dallas as well, have been 04:13:54.020 --> 04:13:55.380 a team not that willing to play. 04:13:55.380 --> 04:13:56.380 Guess what? 04:13:56.380 --> 04:13:57.380 Luke has locked it in. 04:13:57.380 --> 04:13:58.380 Croix locked it in. 04:13:58.380 --> 04:13:59.380 Kellen's coming back with a Sigma. 04:13:59.380 --> 04:14:01.540 And Ice is back on the Malga. 04:14:01.540 --> 04:14:02.540 Hmm. 04:14:02.540 --> 04:14:06.820 This will be interesting, kind of, that the Maga versus the SIG, right? 04:14:06.820 --> 04:14:10.500 The ball can obviously just get right past this shield with that stomp onto the stick 04:14:10.500 --> 04:14:14.860 but a lot of pressure so we'll see how Ice Nome decides to play that. 04:14:14.860 --> 04:14:17.660 Already Chronic taking a lot of damage. 04:14:17.660 --> 04:14:19.660 So that was a real battle. 04:14:19.660 --> 04:14:20.660 It's going to go the way of Chronic. 04:14:20.660 --> 04:14:25.500 Kephz is trying to heal himself back here but not enough healing to save his life. 04:14:25.500 --> 04:14:27.860 That was so early opening for the 5v4 here. 04:14:27.860 --> 04:14:31.300 Point should be there as well as for a quick reset. 04:14:31.300 --> 04:14:36.020 And although Chronic took a lot of damage early he had that turret form available a little 04:14:36.020 --> 04:14:42.380 a little bit later, right? So Kev and Co, they get a little bit aggressive around the corner, maybe they can finish the Bastion off, but Chronic just starts 04:14:42.380 --> 04:14:51.300 vomiting out damage. So, some trying to make a blink, I went into the back line there, keep an eye on that flank, is Kev now trying to find an angle as 04:14:51.300 --> 04:14:54.260 VP is moving away onto the point, ice them dangerously low. 04:14:55.100 --> 04:15:00.980 So another situation, reminds me of the opening round, right, where ice was starting on the Malakas, but just couldn't quite find purchase. Yes, you can sort of 04:15:00.980 --> 04:15:02.980 Time for the shield, okay? 04:15:02.980 --> 04:15:04.980 That was sick. 04:15:04.980 --> 04:15:06.980 Wrong range rock from Gellin to just knock Fixer down. 04:15:06.980 --> 04:15:08.980 And Ice, just something from the first round, man, 04:15:08.980 --> 04:15:10.980 goes from Malga towards something else. 04:15:10.980 --> 04:15:12.980 That time was out. Now it's going to go towards the Ram. 04:15:12.980 --> 04:15:14.980 And Malga is just not quite getting him 04:15:14.980 --> 04:15:16.980 what he's looking for, even if you can charge past the shield. 04:15:16.980 --> 04:15:18.980 After he's done that, he's just in the open and dying. 04:15:18.980 --> 04:15:20.980 Yeah, it's really rough. 04:15:20.980 --> 04:15:22.980 And you wouldn't say that Sigma is like, 04:15:22.980 --> 04:15:24.980 when VP had a best solo, 04:15:24.980 --> 04:15:26.980 it was really Sigma that he was kind of playing. 04:15:26.980 --> 04:15:28.980 It's chronic using the artillery. 04:15:28.980 --> 04:15:32.660 like using the artillery, you're gonna get out there with a sliver of health and that 04:15:32.660 --> 04:15:36.820 is so unfortunate there for Virtus Pro, right? If you were able to get that kill out of the 04:15:36.820 --> 04:15:40.820 Bastion, it would have been huge. You end up losing Landon at the hands of some, so another 04:15:40.820 --> 04:15:45.940 fight here that goes in. And, yeah, Isom doesn't even get dragged off the map, because he just 04:15:45.940 --> 04:15:51.300 gets deleted there by Kronik as Kellan moves on forward, as dude, they are having so many 04:15:51.300 --> 04:15:55.980 issues with the signal, but as I say that, he's used the flux to stay alive. No, just 04:15:55.980 --> 04:16:00.780 grad sound of the band. I mean, that's a bite you have control over, right? You probably don't need to use that all. 04:16:00.780 --> 04:16:03.780 I don't want to overspend on that one for sure. Dallas Fuel had a player advantage. 04:16:04.280 --> 04:16:07.980 And ultimately still pretty cheap for them. Just the catnap for that little skirmish. 04:16:07.980 --> 04:16:11.580 Does get exchanged for the catnap of the assault, which is even economically better for Dallas Fuel. 04:16:11.580 --> 04:16:15.480 As I go into now, what would be the final fight? Katsune in Russian hand, flux in hand as well. 04:16:15.480 --> 04:16:19.380 Super strong combo here. Put the flux into land and Katsune in Russian is going to be deadly. 04:16:19.380 --> 04:16:23.180 They must win fight here for Virtus Pro. It'll be the pulse bomb from Psycho. 04:16:23.180 --> 04:16:26.620 It's going to be the Suzu that comes down from CJ, cleansing that off. 04:16:26.620 --> 04:16:30.700 Gravitic Flux comes through, not a lot of damage that comes through from that ultimate. 04:16:30.700 --> 04:16:34.860 So, we'll see now as Kallen using the Connecticut Grash, trying to back up, soak some of that 04:16:34.860 --> 04:16:36.940 damage in as he gets back on and contests the point. 04:16:36.940 --> 04:16:38.540 Well, Kallen's in trouble though, he has to back out. 04:16:38.540 --> 04:16:40.700 This might just give the flip over to Virtus.Pro. 04:16:40.700 --> 04:16:43.500 So, trying to hold on to this one, but this is thick for the Suzu! 04:16:43.500 --> 04:16:46.060 Right on time for Kepster to save his life. 04:16:46.620 --> 04:16:48.380 I actually am still in trouble though, so this is not over. 04:16:48.380 --> 04:16:50.460 Virtus.Pro barely even let the play through. 04:16:50.460 --> 04:16:51.900 This might be the map over. 04:16:51.900 --> 04:16:57.040 The artillery there, from chronic, pushing players back out of that choke, but now you lose Kellen. 04:16:57.040 --> 04:17:01.020 So both tanks out of the fight, now I still am going to come back off the spawn here in just a little bit, 04:17:01.020 --> 04:17:05.500 as VP somehow magically able to flip this after all. 04:17:05.500 --> 04:17:10.860 Already came down to Kellen, to Kellen, first and foremost, but then getting Luke Mino on top of that one just gives VP 04:17:10.860 --> 04:17:15.260 a little bit more to play through, having that play advantage, getting Icestom back with it, 04:17:15.260 --> 04:17:18.620 and annihilation coming online pretty quickly. 04:17:18.620 --> 04:17:23.620 Maybe you have a bit of work to do to climb the mountain and coming back on this round, but you start to see the vision here of how they can do it. 04:17:23.620 --> 04:17:29.420 You remember how good that previous annihilation was last time we sought out from Istone, winning the fight, winning the map, well, round, rather off that. 04:17:29.420 --> 04:17:37.120 Yeah, you have the catnap here available for VP as well, so maybe they can make a play as they have to do a nice job of keeping Ice Nome alive. 04:17:37.120 --> 04:17:43.620 He's been taking a lot of damage up at the front. That's going to be the third form from Chronic over the top here, trying to put some damage down on the cycle. 04:17:43.620 --> 04:17:46.740 doesn't really come up with anything as now a lot of pressure coming in the ice 04:17:46.740 --> 04:17:50.740 from there on the point already uses the block it's going to be the turret form 04:17:50.740 --> 04:17:54.260 here it's going to be the artillery from Kev putting down some damage tried to 04:17:54.260 --> 04:17:56.820 back them off the point I hope that's a consumer so they're gonna get aggressive 04:17:56.820 --> 04:17:59.860 here Dallas yeah they are gonna going down furthest pro looking to see if they 04:17:59.860 --> 04:18:02.660 can get it further kills here here comes Katnav not sure it's going to catch too 04:18:02.660 --> 04:18:06.300 many players maybe this one tank going down killing off the edge would just be 04:18:06.300 --> 04:18:09.740 the kill they required doesn't quite get him if still going down it's still a 04:18:09.740 --> 04:18:13.500 problem he's not alive neither of our bashings are there and a nine legs for 04:18:13.500 --> 04:18:18.500 to try and keep this one further forward. Still need to get this flip in, Landon. Coming up, Katsune Rush. 04:18:18.500 --> 04:18:23.500 Yeah, and I mean, Fix is still here. You don't end up having to kind of end up using that Katsune Rush just yet. 04:18:23.500 --> 04:18:27.500 You're going to have Dallas back out here trying to get another fight. It's going to be above 50% here for K. 04:18:27.500 --> 04:18:31.500 Or VP is all you lose, Psycho. That's brutal for Virtus.Pro. 04:18:31.500 --> 04:18:37.500 Locked in as well. Kallen trying to lock this one down, clean it up with Dallas Field. No cycle, still in mix. 04:18:37.500 --> 04:18:42.500 Chronic artillery on top, but it's just landing on top of ice. It's still pretty healthy. It's his tank. 04:18:42.500 --> 04:18:45.700 He has to back up there for a second. You're gonna get everybody back in the fight. 04:18:45.700 --> 04:18:48.100 Saiko's gonna be here to be able to touch as well. 04:18:48.100 --> 04:18:52.500 Gonna get a vortex over to the point. Kellen taking a lot of damage and you have to kill him down. 04:18:52.500 --> 04:18:54.500 That's fine, Sun. That's huge. 04:18:54.500 --> 04:18:57.800 Just blocking away all the damage. Kanna can't even get a trade here. 04:18:57.800 --> 04:19:00.100 Vertas, pro, off the back of Iksnom. 04:19:00.100 --> 04:19:04.100 Laying through the defensive capabilities of his Rambi. Healed up by Fixer and Landon. 04:19:04.100 --> 04:19:07.900 Unkillable on this point no matter what Dallas Fuel are putting in. 04:19:07.900 --> 04:19:11.700 And VP, they caught up. This was like a 0 to 99. They caught up on a fight. 04:19:11.700 --> 04:19:18.400 And now you're going to have Kellen going away from the Sigma, which looks really good, but I think this Ram Swap from VP has really paid off. 04:19:18.400 --> 04:19:21.600 They've started to hit their strides with the Rematra in play. 04:19:21.600 --> 04:19:23.600 Pulse bomb available though from Sunjoon. 04:19:23.600 --> 04:19:26.800 CD's able to kind of land a big one potentially onto Kev. 04:19:26.800 --> 04:19:29.600 See Fixa there, going to just knock back for just a second. 04:19:29.600 --> 04:19:31.600 The Cat finds the tracer yet again. 04:19:31.600 --> 04:19:33.400 I mean that is brutal there. 04:19:33.400 --> 04:19:35.100 Four Dallas, now we're in OT. 04:19:35.100 --> 04:19:39.300 Now you just have to play through, Chronic has to do some magic, and CJ still has to stay alive to find this. 04:19:39.300 --> 04:19:44.740 Shirosh, playing against the Miracle Kill, that's gonna be it man, Virtus.pro have managed to make the comeback happen! 04:19:44.740 --> 04:19:54.500 Bro, this is such a clutch up from VP as they steal map number one here from the Dallas Fuel. 04:19:54.500 --> 04:19:57.300 Averill, that was a nasty comeback by Virtus.pro. 04:19:57.300 --> 04:20:03.380 Yeah, and it comes from the fact that, okay, Ike's wants to start on the Malga, doesn't really work for him, makes a change up. 04:20:03.380 --> 04:20:07.780 First round, does it run to the Zarya, doesn't quite find the value, maybe probably should have played the Ram. 04:20:07.780 --> 04:20:09.480 Didn't even get grabbed on the first round. 04:20:09.480 --> 04:20:12.280 However, you look towards with the ramp play on the second and third round, 04:20:12.280 --> 04:20:13.980 particularly the Malcolm to the ramp stopper. 04:20:13.980 --> 04:20:15.580 Soon as he swaps to the ramp, 04:20:15.580 --> 04:20:16.580 there's so much value. 04:20:16.580 --> 04:20:18.080 Doesn't really die on point at all. 04:20:18.080 --> 04:20:22.080 Final fight preventing the final Katoona rush to cover from Dallas Fuel 04:20:22.080 --> 04:20:23.780 to save the day, landing, getting that kill, 04:20:23.780 --> 04:20:24.980 burning and stuff. 04:20:25.480 --> 04:20:27.880 It's a massive kills from Fixer as well. 04:20:27.880 --> 04:20:29.680 On the Jetpack Cat. 04:20:29.680 --> 04:20:32.080 Like two or three times in a row, he ends up getting syndrome. 04:20:32.080 --> 04:20:35.080 The Tracer for Dallas Fuel, which is so impactful. 04:20:35.080 --> 04:20:40.480 And I think you really saw the game turn when VP decided to play that cap bashing, right? 04:20:40.480 --> 04:20:44.680 Like, after that first round, when they kind of go to the cap bashing and deal with some of the farra play 04:20:44.680 --> 04:20:48.480 from the Dallas Fuel, that's when VP really started to get cooking. 04:20:48.480 --> 04:20:52.280 I was wondering as well, you know, we're going to get some more cat coming through from Fixic as earlier on. 04:20:52.280 --> 04:20:54.980 You remember the Waybo game as well? It just wasn't playing it. 04:20:54.980 --> 04:20:57.380 So you had this sort of bashing ground composition. 04:20:57.380 --> 04:20:59.480 Boci Kevser happened to just play the bashing. 04:20:59.480 --> 04:21:02.680 No cat support at all. Brown bashing. Classic bashing. 04:21:02.680 --> 04:21:08.180 And he kind of made that work versus Waybo, but this time around you see the VP's slide, they're like, okay, you know, versus Zeta as well. 04:21:08.180 --> 04:21:15.680 We're gonna make sure we play the real combo, and we can prove that we can't play the cover, even though, typically speaking, looking at a lot of the VP games, 04:21:15.680 --> 04:21:23.180 they tried to like, shy away from the Cap Bastion, but if they can secure themselves as the better Cap Bastion team in the Murrigan's Dallas Fuel, 04:21:23.180 --> 04:21:25.680 this is now a winning matchup for them that they can rely on for the series. 04:21:25.680 --> 04:21:32.180 Oh, absolutely. And I think just off the rip here, right in the second round, we see the first round, it was just completely dominated by the Dallas Fuel. 04:21:32.180 --> 04:21:37.280 In the second round, when they kill Milo and they can't bastion, it actually just catches Dallas completely off guard, right? 04:21:37.280 --> 04:21:42.640 They're still playing the bar of syndromes, it goes right over the top, and then he just dies instantly, does not expect the bastion play in there, 04:21:42.640 --> 04:21:45.880 and then they never looked really comfy playing against it, so 04:21:46.560 --> 04:21:49.720 very nice swaps and adjustments there from Virtus Pro. 04:21:49.720 --> 04:21:53.040 I now think obviously the ball is in Dallas fuels court to make some of their own. 04:21:53.040 --> 04:21:56.240 You mentioned this as well, but you know, with the Sanger swap over to Tracer, 04:21:56.240 --> 04:22:00.480 typically I would like really really trust Sanger on the Tracer. Definitely one of his best heroes. 04:22:00.480 --> 04:22:06.480 Sunjin definitely like a star player on the Dallas field. He sort of mentioned Sunjin was first picked a lot on the Tracer. 04:22:06.480 --> 04:22:14.480 Yeah, particularly on that third Dallas. They're losing their star Tracer player quite a few times. Yeah, leading to 45s. 04:22:14.480 --> 04:22:22.480 Yeah, I mean that's something that cannot happen, especially in these matchups. You see Fixer there just kind of chased out his counterpart in Lukamino. 04:22:22.480 --> 04:22:28.480 So looking at the series kind of moving forward now right now where Dallas ended up getting a map pick, what would you like to see them go to? 04:22:28.480 --> 04:22:31.320 them go to, what do you want to see them start to look at to potentially ban? 04:22:31.320 --> 04:22:34.560 Circo Royale, and I think you really want to start leaning towards the strength of the 04:22:34.560 --> 04:22:39.280 backline. So one thing that Dallas do better than most teams, I think only Xayah in this 04:22:39.280 --> 04:22:43.520 tournament can really sort of match in terms of the flexibility of the backline is they 04:22:43.520 --> 04:22:47.560 can play double flex support. We've seen the Alari come through from Dallas Field as well. 04:22:47.560 --> 04:22:51.680 Luke Minow can just move between so many different like heroes on that support side, something 04:22:51.680 --> 04:22:56.240 that I don't think Fixerlander can do quite as comfortably. So Dallas Field played that 04:22:56.240 --> 04:22:58.400 Circuit versus Crazy Coon, rocked okay. 04:22:58.400 --> 04:23:00.080 I think they can move towards that again, maybe. 04:23:00.080 --> 04:23:01.320 No, obviously versus VP. 04:23:01.320 --> 04:23:03.440 Well, I mean, if you look okay against Crazy or Coon, right, 04:23:03.440 --> 04:23:05.880 or you look awesome just about everybody else. 04:23:05.880 --> 04:23:08.800 So it also allows Kellen to continue to play the Sigma, 04:23:08.800 --> 04:23:09.640 right? 04:23:09.640 --> 04:23:10.480 Correct, yeah. 04:23:10.480 --> 04:23:12.720 Kellen is playing a lot of Sigma where Circuit 04:23:12.720 --> 04:23:15.680 by far the best Sigma map in the game at the moment. 04:23:15.680 --> 04:23:19.480 So we'll see if that is where the Dallas Fuel decide to go. 04:23:19.480 --> 04:23:22.360 Obviously then you could kind of get into the band process 04:23:22.360 --> 04:23:24.200 where you'd have to be worried about potentially 04:23:24.200 --> 04:23:25.040 the Sigma going. 04:23:25.040 --> 04:23:28.120 But Amberley, don't go to Circuit, they actually go to Dorado. 04:23:28.120 --> 04:23:30.320 But Dorado is another map you can play, Sigurd Yeh. 04:23:30.320 --> 04:23:32.840 Yeah, I think any ESCore map, you could have gone to Rialto here. 04:23:32.840 --> 04:23:36.360 You just want to go to something where you can get a good Sigma experience, 04:23:36.360 --> 04:23:39.640 a little bit of front to back type of gameplay, really make the poke work. 04:23:39.640 --> 04:23:41.960 My question will be, I'm not going to see Mizuki, 04:23:41.960 --> 04:23:44.720 because the Mizuki's starting to creep up in the tournament meta. 04:23:44.720 --> 04:23:47.000 Something that I don't think many people were expecting coming in, 04:23:47.000 --> 04:23:48.120 but obviously we're on the live patch. 04:23:48.120 --> 04:23:51.520 Mizuki did get buffs, and where Mizuki is getting playmat is, 04:23:51.520 --> 04:23:54.860 in that backline to sort of, I think sometimes it 04:23:54.860 --> 04:23:56.360 replicates the break, because break does get 04:23:56.360 --> 04:23:57.860 played a segment of the past, but now you have 04:23:57.860 --> 04:23:59.760 the sort of AOE healing from the Mizuki, 04:23:59.760 --> 04:24:02.160 but with the poke potential from Mizuki 04:24:02.160 --> 04:24:05.560 to safely have the guy sanctuary, but also the chains 04:24:05.560 --> 04:24:07.240 in that battle is off, having a lot of effort, 04:24:07.240 --> 04:24:09.700 being able to just poke down with this own left click. 04:24:09.700 --> 04:24:12.340 I think you're like, what a strong poke composition. 04:24:12.340 --> 04:24:14.780 Right, like, leaving the Mizuki to the break 04:24:14.780 --> 04:24:16.180 kind of comparison is pretty good, 04:24:16.180 --> 04:24:18.540 and then also the ability for the Mizuki to put down 04:24:18.540 --> 04:24:21.480 some damage at ranges that break obviously can, right? 04:24:21.480 --> 04:24:25.500 know from a little bit of a safer vantage point. It's a really interesting, I think 04:24:25.500 --> 04:24:29.760 the ultimate has been buffed now to a point that it definitely feels 04:24:29.760 --> 04:24:33.920 viable and useful. I mean we saw a lot of times in previous series where we see 04:24:33.920 --> 04:24:37.320 the Mizuki in play where the Farah is kind of just trying to shoot down rockets 04:24:37.320 --> 04:24:41.360 into it or maybe a barrage gets completely you know annihilated by that 04:24:41.360 --> 04:24:46.440 ultimate. So curious, maybe the Farah a potential ban here as well like you don't 04:24:46.440 --> 04:24:49.360 want to see that if you're a Virtus Pro like that. Something you potentially could 04:24:49.360 --> 04:24:51.700 do as far as I can get some play at times on Dorado. 04:24:51.700 --> 04:24:53.620 I think if you're Dallas, like, what are you prioritizing right here? 04:24:53.620 --> 04:24:55.420 Well, you called the fire right here. 04:24:55.420 --> 04:24:58.340 I'm basically the coach of VP. 04:24:58.340 --> 04:24:59.860 You might just be Smash. 04:24:59.860 --> 04:25:00.860 Yeah. 04:25:00.860 --> 04:25:02.580 I hear you talking to the team. 04:25:02.580 --> 04:25:05.780 I was thinking you could be looking towards maybe a Kellen Sigma 04:25:05.780 --> 04:25:06.980 protected, depending on the priority. 04:25:06.980 --> 04:25:09.700 Or it's like, how bad do you want to play the Sigma? 04:25:09.700 --> 04:25:12.260 But clearly, the priority here is to make sure 04:25:12.260 --> 04:25:13.660 that you get rid of one of the problem here 04:25:13.660 --> 04:25:15.180 is that you don't want to deal with which is that far. 04:25:15.180 --> 04:25:16.500 From your point earlier, though, right? 04:25:16.500 --> 04:25:18.580 But Dallas is backline in how flexible they are, right? 04:25:18.580 --> 04:25:23.060 They get rid of Vakiri here early, which it could be a little bit advantageous them, right? 04:25:23.060 --> 04:25:25.140 They have a little bit more flexibility to play some odd stuff. 04:25:25.140 --> 04:25:28.220 But you're really looking towards removing the Lucio-Kiriko composition, 04:25:28.220 --> 04:25:29.940 because that would have been the default otherwise. 04:25:29.940 --> 04:25:33.420 And we're assuming, by the way, that we're not just going to be default cat bashing here, 04:25:34.300 --> 04:25:36.180 which could still happen in a map like this. 04:25:36.180 --> 04:25:38.580 But assuming that teams are still testing out, 04:25:38.580 --> 04:25:40.660 maybe we can get away with not playing cat bashing. 04:25:40.660 --> 04:25:42.540 No Kiriko, no Lucio-Kiriko. 04:25:42.540 --> 04:25:47.420 That leads into the Dallas Fuel potential for more regaining double flex backline. 04:25:47.420 --> 04:25:52.440 You know definitely the larry in there. I know why yeah, I think a large should be able without the Curie god 04:25:52.440 --> 04:25:56.160 I'm curious where we actually see VP go to right 04:25:56.720 --> 04:26:00.060 No, typically we see I think landings the place back. Yeah 04:26:00.060 --> 04:26:05.540 Yeah, that's kind of where I was thinking as a potentially they go back and look look back if you're gonna play like some rematcher comps and stuff that 04:26:05.540 --> 04:26:08.220 Kind of like that can work right you can kind of go to that 04:26:08.220 --> 04:26:10.220 But they don't really have that you know fix 04:26:10.220 --> 04:26:14.020 I would say is primarily like a Lucio and then now obviously jetpack cat type of player 04:26:14.020 --> 04:26:18.820 You're not going to have that ability maybe to play some of those, you know, two flex support linings. 04:26:20.500 --> 04:26:25.540 I'll forget about the Symmetra as well. One thing I think on the VP side, specifically that they have over Dallas Field, 04:26:25.940 --> 04:26:29.780 is the fact that Psycho brings a lot of the Symmetra experience from his time on Twisted Mind last year. 04:26:30.100 --> 04:26:34.740 Learned a lot from you being on Twisted Minds, and you saw the Symmetra play versus Zeta the game before. 04:26:35.060 --> 04:26:38.500 I thought was a pretty big factor. The point where like Zeta had to ban out Symmetra too. 04:26:38.820 --> 04:26:42.100 So Psycho still has that in the pocket. This might be a good map to bring it out. 04:26:42.100 --> 04:26:49.180 Yeah, I do wonder though like without the Curie like what is the support that would go with like the cat bastion kind of combination 04:26:49.180 --> 04:26:52.940 Right, we've seen a lot of the Curie alongside of that combination 04:26:54.100 --> 04:26:59.260 You mean what Anna was cat? Yeah, just a man of the fashion has been a very classic one 04:26:59.620 --> 04:27:04.020 So if you are just gonna like default cat bastion that's a pretty good Anna map as well, right? 04:27:04.020 --> 04:27:10.200 I mean, you have seen like on obviously historically throughout. I know overwatch succeed on this map. So 04:27:10.200 --> 04:27:17.300 the VP looking like on defense here to open things up and by the way look look 04:27:17.300 --> 04:27:20.540 at this we have the Winston from Kelin is all he does want to commit a bit of 04:27:20.540 --> 04:27:25.680 felony here backed by the Anna Winston not particularly strong in the meta but 04:27:25.680 --> 04:27:29.680 I think you know like we'll see if Dallas feel can make this one work you 04:27:29.680 --> 04:27:32.940 don't even really see Jimman get subbed into play Winston these days for crazy 04:27:32.940 --> 04:27:36.780 racoon so Kelin's feeling very brave so far obviously it's the win for the gates 04:27:36.780 --> 04:27:40.820 to open but the Anna here obviously makes sense if Luke is gonna lock in the cat 04:27:40.820 --> 04:27:44.020 I'm expecting chronic to then go towards the bastion then classic cat Anna 04:27:44.020 --> 04:27:50.660 Bastion trio yeah it'll be VP using kev on it the Cassidy here to open things up 04:27:50.660 --> 04:27:53.940 Dallas feel obviously some opportunities to make some changes we'll discuss that 04:27:53.940 --> 04:28:00.500 once they kind of come to an alignment in terms of calm as we have not seen 04:28:00.500 --> 04:28:05.220 Genji at all so I want to start sticking on a little are we gonna get okay so 04:28:05.220 --> 04:28:09.060 They're gonna play Winston, Winston Genji here with the widow at the start. 04:28:09.060 --> 04:28:11.580 So this is like a classic dive with a couple of perk elements. 04:28:11.580 --> 04:28:14.620 You have the hard hit to get a long range perk from the widow and the Allari, 04:28:14.620 --> 04:28:18.420 but then beyond that a Genji Winston Ana is just like a super classic dive go. 04:28:19.260 --> 04:28:21.820 Yeah, they're gonna try and put a lot of pressure on to Kev's Cassidy, 04:28:21.820 --> 04:28:23.940 but it's been so good without the tournament. 04:28:23.940 --> 04:28:26.460 Chronic obviously get threat to Kevster as well, right, 04:28:26.460 --> 04:28:29.140 with just the extra lot sightlines with the widow anchor. 04:28:29.220 --> 04:28:30.940 But remember, crazy to come band away, Chronic. 04:28:30.940 --> 04:28:33.100 It's one of the way in Dallas you'll took them through the circus, 04:28:33.100 --> 04:28:35.240 Now we'll get to actually see what Connick's been cooking. 04:28:35.240 --> 04:28:38.560 This has been definitely one of the more hyped up heroes in Chronic's repertoire. 04:28:39.440 --> 04:28:40.580 He's down early and forcing. 04:28:40.580 --> 04:28:41.740 Can't do much against Leica. 04:28:42.140 --> 04:28:44.300 No, I mean there's nobody that can kind of help. 04:28:44.940 --> 04:28:46.800 You know, Chronic up there on that high ground, right? 04:28:46.800 --> 04:28:48.200 CJ doesn't really have advantage point. 04:28:48.200 --> 04:28:52.580 You're not going to have the Allari turret over there where Lukamino, dangerously low as Ice Noam, 04:28:52.580 --> 04:28:54.780 just kind of gets in his face with Vixxer. 04:28:54.780 --> 04:29:00.640 They barrel him down as Dallas, you're now going to make just a swap here to get Chronic over to the Cassidy here. 04:29:00.640 --> 04:29:06.580 A little bit more stink power. I'm not too sure on just kind of the Genji wins any of these been two heroes who have really been 04:29:07.200 --> 04:29:12.240 Non-existent in the meta for a while. Definitely you really rely on the Anna here to do a lot of heavy lifting with the Nano boost 04:29:12.240 --> 04:29:15.160 So CJ is obviously getting that done pretty quickly in the moment 04:29:15.640 --> 04:29:17.720 But it's pro all sorts done to get some of these alpents 04:29:18.280 --> 04:29:26.360 Landed with a window available. Obviously defensively he'll probably not be playing that too aggressively you would think really time of looking at CJ 04:29:26.360 --> 04:29:30.920 8% left to go, would mean only to stay alive if you have a Dallas ULT. 04:29:30.920 --> 04:29:34.920 Good positioning on the payload, will this eventual nano push, but you don't want to have Sungeon down. 04:29:34.920 --> 04:29:40.120 I mean, sure, you're gonna have the ability to nano play, they actually nano chronic here, right away, 04:29:40.120 --> 04:29:43.560 so they're gonna try and push him up, maybe they thought there was an opportunity to get a player to play here, 04:29:43.560 --> 04:29:48.200 but now you don't have the ability to use the nano with that blade, which I thought they were gonna be working up to. 04:29:48.200 --> 04:29:53.480 That was either a mistake in terms of Seizure's nanoing the wrong person, or chronic was about the dying, 04:29:53.480 --> 04:29:54.820 he felt like he really needed to say something. 04:29:54.820 --> 04:29:57.760 I mean, maybe, I was like, is it, was it supposed to be, 04:29:57.760 --> 04:29:59.600 maybe the intended was to go onto Kellan, 04:29:59.600 --> 04:30:00.920 but then you would have, you would have rallied 04:30:00.920 --> 04:30:02.280 into the primal, right? 04:30:02.280 --> 04:30:04.280 Which then you could have used and maybe kind of kept it going, 04:30:04.280 --> 04:30:06.640 but that's, that's rough there. 04:30:06.640 --> 04:30:07.800 Yeah. I mean, unless you have the blade, 04:30:07.800 --> 04:30:09.160 you're definitely popping on your winston. 04:30:09.160 --> 04:30:10.000 For sure. And Sunjun was there. 04:30:10.000 --> 04:30:10.840 That's the other point, Matt. 04:30:10.840 --> 04:30:12.240 There's, they did it 4v5. 04:30:12.240 --> 04:30:13.320 Sunjun dies. 04:30:13.320 --> 04:30:14.160 So you could have missed him there. 04:30:14.160 --> 04:30:15.000 And he had blades. 04:30:15.000 --> 04:30:16.200 So you could have just saved it, right? 04:30:16.200 --> 04:30:17.240 So a really rough spot. 04:30:17.240 --> 04:30:19.880 We'll see if Sunjun can make a hero play 04:30:19.880 --> 04:30:21.200 with this dragon blade, 04:30:21.200 --> 04:30:23.520 but you're gonna have to fix it with the sound barrier on the other side. 04:30:23.520 --> 04:30:26.960 I mean, VP has not been pressured into using any ultimates thus far. 04:30:27.460 --> 04:30:31.960 Doesn't look like he found anything, he finds a shot to the face from Kevstar via the dead-eye. 04:30:31.960 --> 04:30:33.400 Easy fight win for VP. 04:30:34.000 --> 04:30:38.000 Dropping in the actual window from Landon just for safety and now it's been cleaned up onto Chronic Freshly, 04:30:38.000 --> 04:30:39.460 onto the Sojourn pick. 04:30:39.460 --> 04:30:42.760 Dallas feel like, yeah, this is just, unfortunately, whiff after whiff. 04:30:42.760 --> 04:30:44.360 Nano boost didn't get the much value. 04:30:44.760 --> 04:30:46.960 Cap to Sun, no value either. 04:30:46.960 --> 04:30:50.960 And I mean, now you have to go over to the Lucio here, below a minute on the clock. 04:30:51.200 --> 04:30:53.540 You're going to have Chronic go back to the Cassidy here, 04:30:53.540 --> 04:30:55.940 AWP, and then you're going to have Luke go over to the Brick. 04:30:55.940 --> 04:30:58.380 So, the Brick obviously is sort of really good against D.Va, 04:30:58.380 --> 04:31:01.280 but like you're in such a rough spot that below a minute, 04:31:01.280 --> 04:31:02.840 I mean, Sound Barrier's still saved here. 04:31:02.840 --> 04:31:03.480 Exactly. 04:31:03.480 --> 04:31:04.380 Four Vertus Pro. 04:31:04.380 --> 04:31:06.780 I mean, Kellan with a Primal can maybe be a nuisance, 04:31:06.780 --> 04:31:09.080 but man, this is going to be really difficult 04:31:09.080 --> 04:31:10.520 because Dallas Hill needs to get some progress. 04:31:10.520 --> 04:31:12.480 This will be a brutal spot for the cart to stop. 04:31:12.480 --> 04:31:13.820 Vix is just saving it for the blade. 04:31:13.820 --> 04:31:15.360 He knows that Sunder's going to pop that on a bench seat, 04:31:15.360 --> 04:31:16.860 which means you're not going to get it out of him. 04:31:16.860 --> 04:31:18.300 Psycho at least goes down opportunity. 04:31:18.300 --> 04:31:19.760 Dallas Hill can find a 5v4 here, 04:31:19.760 --> 04:31:21.760 but Kallus already popped the final. 04:31:21.760 --> 04:31:23.480 And now you're going to have the sound barrier comes out. 04:31:23.480 --> 04:31:24.040 Played. 04:31:24.040 --> 04:31:25.880 It's going to be the blade that comes through from Sunjin 04:31:25.880 --> 04:31:27.400 just after the beat expires. 04:31:27.400 --> 04:31:30.360 So this shouldn't get huge value. 04:31:30.360 --> 04:31:32.480 It's going to be two with the blade, 04:31:32.480 --> 04:31:34.440 as Isenome's still on the payload, 04:31:34.440 --> 04:31:37.480 just keeping this contested for the time being. 04:31:37.480 --> 04:31:39.360 You don't get an opportunity to stagger him out, 04:31:39.360 --> 04:31:42.280 so Dallas, in the final moments, they'll get a fight win. 04:31:42.280 --> 04:31:44.120 You may get another fight here, though, for VP. 04:31:44.120 --> 04:31:46.240 You're going to Psycho go over and play the sim here. 04:31:46.240 --> 04:31:48.120 You're going to be able to TP players back, 04:31:48.120 --> 04:31:49.120 get a little bit closer. 04:31:49.120 --> 04:31:50.560 And you're also going to have a self destruct. 04:31:50.560 --> 04:31:51.560 Let's see if the TP goes in. 04:31:51.560 --> 04:31:52.560 That would be the only way. 04:31:52.560 --> 04:31:53.560 Touch has been enabled. 04:31:53.560 --> 04:31:55.080 This is going to force a nano for sure. 04:31:55.080 --> 04:31:57.200 CJ is going to feel pressure to pop. 04:31:57.200 --> 04:31:58.200 All that happened. 04:31:58.200 --> 04:31:59.200 Popped up the kill. 04:31:59.200 --> 04:32:01.200 And of course, big vine and onto the back. 04:32:01.200 --> 04:32:02.920 And VP will not win this fight. 04:32:02.920 --> 04:32:06.240 But I agree with the choice that's going for the final contest. 04:32:06.240 --> 04:32:09.720 Because you are forcing CJ to pop nano, forcing Dallas to use ult. 04:32:09.720 --> 04:32:10.720 And what? 04:32:10.720 --> 04:32:12.120 I mean, you gave out your self destruct for it, right? 04:32:12.120 --> 04:32:13.600 So you give out self destruct. 04:32:13.600 --> 04:32:15.040 They end up using a nano. 04:32:15.040 --> 04:32:17.720 You still get high ground control, most likely here. 04:32:17.720 --> 04:32:23.400 Virtus Pro, a really good defense there. Although Dallas Fuel doesn't stop raking at the end, 04:32:23.400 --> 04:32:26.520 not a lot of time for Dallas Fuel. They need the bunker down and hold this high ground. 04:32:26.520 --> 04:32:29.560 They have the rally to potentially do it. I mean, the reason why it's important to get rid 04:32:29.560 --> 04:32:32.760 of Nanna, because I think that's the 10-point set up for Dallas Fuel when you look at this pump. 04:32:32.760 --> 04:32:36.040 They're now playing in even more classic dive countries. You get the Brigana as well. 04:32:36.600 --> 04:32:40.200 You really need the Nanna boost to be the initiator here. That's gone off the table, 04:32:40.200 --> 04:32:43.960 kept the wall. Just forced Dallas Fuel away. Not going to hit a dead eye, unfortunately. 04:32:43.960 --> 04:32:48.720 Nice timing on the rally there from Luke Amino gets the bash there in the cap not enough to finish him off 04:32:48.720 --> 04:32:53.620 But land and drops down uses the ant matrix and just fires down on Luke Amino 04:32:53.620 --> 04:32:59.240 So everybody from BP goes on a little bit of a flank there Avril and they get a nice angle with that ant matrix 04:32:59.240 --> 04:33:02.520 It's made it really difficult for Dallas you'll to get any more progress 04:33:02.520 --> 04:33:05.320 Well shut down the rally pretty quickly guys even gets back to me 04:33:05.320 --> 04:33:07.400 I could have been tricky if I doesn't get back in the mech 04:33:07.400 --> 04:33:12.480 Maybe the Dallas will have a little bit more to fight in there with the land and with the you know, obviously 04:33:12.480 --> 04:33:16.540 insurance policy put into play again will win those skills. What's your thoughts on 04:33:16.540 --> 04:33:19.380 the break at this part of the map right with VP kind of controlling the high 04:33:19.380 --> 04:33:22.460 ground and this little time on the clock. I mean if you had the rally you could 04:33:22.460 --> 04:33:25.580 definitely push up this would have been a hard map for the break on attack side 04:33:25.580 --> 04:33:29.380 before but with the rudder changes you can make a push up that hill for sure. 04:33:29.380 --> 04:33:32.500 It's about the play now the blade is where Dallas wants a candy to find the 04:33:32.500 --> 04:33:36.500 value. Yeah sound barrier here for Ficksa used it a little bit early so there was 04:33:36.500 --> 04:33:40.780 still a huge value from the blade is it is going to be the nano blade that 04:33:40.780 --> 04:33:45.780 And with two players already dead, you don't invest the beat. Love that decision there from British Pro. 04:33:45.780 --> 04:33:52.780 The fight already lost. Sunjoon and Keon coming up huge there in the feed and Dallas will keep themselves alive. 04:33:52.780 --> 04:33:56.780 I think two things there. One would be the fact that Virtus.Pro were a little bit split, so you wouldn't have had a good value beat. 04:33:56.780 --> 04:34:00.780 You would have missed a few people. Obviously, then you talked about the KFC. 04:34:00.780 --> 04:34:03.780 More important though, Matt, is look at the time remaining. 04:34:03.780 --> 04:34:06.780 Now that you've saved beat for what will be the final fight, you're okay. 04:34:06.780 --> 04:34:10.780 We'll lose to the nanoblade, but when it hits zero on the overtime, we're gonna have to be in advantage. 04:34:11.780 --> 04:34:14.780 It's gonna be a pulse bomb there from Psycho, doesn't connect with anything. 04:34:15.780 --> 04:34:19.780 Kellen gonna have the primal rage there, maybe just gonna dislodge players off the high ground, but... 04:34:19.780 --> 04:34:21.780 Lukimino, it's a just imp- 04:34:21.780 --> 04:34:26.780 Dodge out, it's gonna be the B here with a dead eye that comes out from VP as we're below 10 seconds on the clock. 04:34:26.780 --> 04:34:27.780 Everybody from Dallas has to back up. 04:34:27.780 --> 04:34:29.780 Let's go back to the cart, yeah. 04:34:29.780 --> 04:34:34.780 Psycho's down to a 5v4, Dallas coming in for chronic and Siv, this is capable for sure, especially with Kephs down. 04:34:34.780 --> 04:34:39.300 And down, Dallas still have just given themselves another point to play with. 04:34:39.300 --> 04:34:42.140 And Virtus.pro, I think they just pulled the combo too early. 04:34:42.140 --> 04:34:46.860 A dead-eye and a sell barrier, so quick before the OT hit map, which means Dallas 04:34:46.860 --> 04:34:50.660 could just back out, kite away from Kips' dead-eye, and then come back in with their own. 04:34:50.660 --> 04:34:52.540 And Dallas may be able to finish the map, man. 04:34:52.540 --> 04:34:54.820 I mean, you're looking at something, getting this blade fixed is going to be 04:34:54.820 --> 04:34:55.700 nowhere close to beat. 04:34:55.700 --> 04:34:59.380 Probably at that time, you're going to have to have the blade probably before there. 04:34:59.380 --> 04:35:03.300 And you might be able to kind of complete the map, which is crazy, because we were 04:35:03.300 --> 04:35:07.820 Basically just gonna write Dallas off for dead because it didn't look like you're even gonna get the first point 04:35:07.820 --> 04:35:10.500 So it's be a huge comeback here for the Dallas fuel 04:35:10.500 --> 04:35:15.380 It's gonna be the rally as ice them goes in trying to get some eyes on the CJ here for surviving 04:35:15.660 --> 04:35:21.140 CJ beating Kevser as double cast these Dallas are far a DMACC into the self-destruct ice number not get back 04:35:21.140 --> 04:35:26.700 It's mech VP losing this further fight give a Dallas feel a bit more of a chance. You said Matt very capital I agree 04:35:27.740 --> 04:35:31.380 This is a huge comeback here from the Dallas fuel 04:35:31.380 --> 04:35:34.620 You're going to line this blade up with the nano as well. 04:35:34.620 --> 04:35:40.020 I mean that is going to be as good as you can ask for here for the Dallas Fuel as players 04:35:40.020 --> 04:35:41.020 from Bird of Throat. 04:35:41.020 --> 04:35:42.020 And no baits, by the way. 04:35:42.020 --> 04:35:43.020 Yeah, yeah. 04:35:43.020 --> 04:35:45.300 No, there's no bait on the other side for VP and they're just funneling out here onto 04:35:45.300 --> 04:35:48.700 the cart to just stall time, right, just stall time as much as possible. 04:35:48.700 --> 04:35:52.540 I think of your VP though, kind of wind condition here is to force out the blade and the nano 04:35:52.540 --> 04:35:54.060 maybe around this area. 04:35:54.060 --> 04:35:57.020 Maybe a few players make it back, keep the tracer alive, keep it going and then come 04:35:57.020 --> 04:35:58.020 back off the swamp. 04:35:58.020 --> 04:36:02.220 The further this escorted payload goes, the worse it gets for VP in the same cell. 04:36:02.220 --> 04:36:03.720 You can't just kite the blade either. 04:36:03.720 --> 04:36:04.920 Previously you would be able to. 04:36:04.920 --> 04:36:06.020 We're going to hit the final fight here. 04:36:06.020 --> 04:36:07.420 Sondre is going to have to pop this. 04:36:07.420 --> 04:36:08.420 Combo has to come through. 04:36:08.420 --> 04:36:10.220 Mid, he does feel this is their moment. 04:36:10.220 --> 04:36:11.620 Payload is in an okay place. 04:36:11.620 --> 04:36:14.320 Certainly capable within one fight, within one nano blade. 04:36:14.320 --> 04:36:16.720 Yeah, they have the nano and the blade. 04:36:16.720 --> 04:36:17.720 Oh! 04:36:17.720 --> 04:36:19.520 That is a sick, sick thing that comes in from Psycho. 04:36:19.520 --> 04:36:22.620 The nano goes on a kill and so they don't even get it for the blade. 04:36:23.320 --> 04:36:23.920 It could be tricky. 04:36:23.920 --> 04:36:25.320 I mean, you don't have a play here. 04:36:25.320 --> 04:36:26.520 Sondre still needs to pop play. 04:36:26.520 --> 04:36:28.460 They're gonna get beat they're gonna get beat here for fix it 04:36:28.460 --> 04:36:32.060 It's gonna be the ant matrix in the corner from Landon is it's just gonna guide them out of the spawn 04:36:32.060 --> 04:36:38.860 It's gonna be kev ending up using the dead eye there's gonna be the sound barrier there as the blade it comes through and 04:36:39.300 --> 04:36:41.420 VP Avril looks like they may be able to get a hold 04:36:41.780 --> 04:36:45.940 It's looking likely especially with the sport advantage there's fall ice nearly all to himself to struck 04:36:45.940 --> 04:36:51.340 But I want to give a matter Dallas you have not managed to finish the map that that was doable 04:36:51.340 --> 04:36:57.080 It looked like it would have been the finisher, because there wasn't a beat there either. 04:36:57.080 --> 04:36:59.680 But look at what VP did. 04:36:59.680 --> 04:37:03.960 What they ended up doing was putting the pressure on Presidiant, which ended up making him with 04:37:03.960 --> 04:37:04.960 the Nano. 04:37:04.960 --> 04:37:05.960 He's like, I'm going to die here. 04:37:05.960 --> 04:37:06.960 I've got to drop the Nano to somebody. 04:37:06.960 --> 04:37:10.000 The only person he sees, I think, would have been Kellen there. 04:37:10.000 --> 04:37:13.200 And then you dunk in the Nano blade, and then the beat comes through, because the fight 04:37:13.200 --> 04:37:14.360 extends a little bit. 04:37:14.360 --> 04:37:17.680 And now you get to beat against Sondra's blade, because he takes so long to pull it through. 04:37:17.680 --> 04:37:21.520 I think if Sondre just like had the timing there earlier before the beat comes through, 04:37:21.520 --> 04:37:24.940 which there was some percentage point of work with, that could have been a winning moment 04:37:24.940 --> 04:37:25.940 for Dallas. 04:37:25.940 --> 04:37:28.860 I think it's as simple as like Dallas was just a little bit slow to go there, right? 04:37:28.860 --> 04:37:32.420 They had the opportunity, they were just kind of like waiting and waiting and waiting and 04:37:32.420 --> 04:37:35.460 like IceNome did a great job just kind of contesting the payload, right? 04:37:35.460 --> 04:37:39.780 Letting the clock kind of barrel down and then Psycho comes up with that huge pulse 04:37:39.780 --> 04:37:44.780 bomb there on to CJ and at that point you're just scrambling, right? 04:37:44.780 --> 04:37:50.720 It felt like for you know 10 15 seconds there was an opportunity for Dallas to really have a set like executed play there 04:37:50.720 --> 04:37:51.800 That would have worked out quite nice 04:37:51.800 --> 04:37:55.540 And I like this I go wait for it because you're not gonna pick it to D. But you have to worry about that 04:37:55.580 --> 04:37:58.980 You don't go in right you're not gonna because here because you don't have to worry about the suzer 04:37:58.980 --> 04:38:02.380 So just go for the Hail Mary play like why not that's up 04:38:02.380 --> 04:38:06.880 You know the nano is going to be the set piece of Dallas who to work with and you made it work 04:38:06.880 --> 04:38:11.720 And then because the fight got delayed again fixer finds being Dallas feel you said Matt 04:38:11.720 --> 04:38:15.800 just too slow to get the feet off the ground. And Dallas here on defense, they 04:38:15.800 --> 04:38:19.640 will play Kellen on the D-Buzz, so you're gonna have an auto-weaing backline, and 04:38:19.640 --> 04:38:24.000 Sunjun gonna play the Echo, which I'm a little bit worried, okay, so let's see 04:38:24.000 --> 04:38:27.960 what they decide to do, because it looked like VP gonna opt to play some Sim. I was 04:38:27.960 --> 04:38:30.840 a little bit worried from Sunjun's perspective about Psycho playing a 04:38:30.840 --> 04:38:35.280 Tracer, which is like really good against Echo. So two things here is, traditionally 04:38:35.280 --> 04:38:38.840 action on Dorado, this first opening rooftop section, Echo is actually pretty 04:38:38.840 --> 04:38:42.840 But you're also playing into a sim, which I think you get extra value, however, you do Dada Kipsler. 04:38:42.840 --> 04:38:46.840 Aw, it's, uh, man, Dallas. So close. 04:38:46.840 --> 04:38:49.840 You know, that even getting a map completion there would have been huge. 04:38:49.840 --> 04:38:55.840 And now you lose your Echo right off the rip here, as Isam going to try and control some of that high ground. 04:38:55.840 --> 04:38:58.840 So, you're going to have Chronic here, just farming up a Railgun. 04:38:58.840 --> 04:39:01.840 He gets dangerously low. It doesn't look like there's anybody here to help him at that time, 04:39:01.840 --> 04:39:04.840 and actually uses a slide to dodge nicely, so it gets out of the way. 04:39:04.840 --> 04:39:08.360 way you're gonna have to echo back in the fight but at a long distance this 04:39:08.360 --> 04:39:11.920 hindered there on the kill-in is does not look like they're gonna be able to get 04:39:11.920 --> 04:39:15.080 the kill though nice shot from Dallas keeping him alive well look Muno goes 04:39:15.080 --> 04:39:18.080 down and the payload is moving forward this could just be a one-fight one cap 04:39:18.080 --> 04:39:21.640 here Dallas feel strong to find any sort of momentum in terms of getting a 04:39:21.640 --> 04:39:24.960 counter-trade not gonna happen Kifster by the way it's about to find dead eye 04:39:24.960 --> 04:39:30.000 really fast dead eye here from Kev as you do have Kellen go on in but they have 04:39:30.000 --> 04:39:33.960 the TP to kind of get players out picks are here on the brig able to deal with 04:39:33.960 --> 04:39:38.880 the Diva and that is a burst point take that is lightning fast here from 04:39:38.880 --> 04:39:42.280 Virtus Pro now you're gonna be able to get high ground five minutes on the 04:39:42.280 --> 04:39:45.520 clock gonna be very difficult to constantly kind of dive into this like 04:39:45.520 --> 04:39:48.600 big bat setup straight away look at Kelly just swapping away from the Diva 04:39:48.600 --> 04:39:50.920 again not one of us comfort heroes he wants to play something he's a little 04:39:50.920 --> 04:39:53.400 bit more familiar with. What if they think better into this? I almost think it's worse. 04:39:53.400 --> 04:39:57.160 Probably. It probably is worse. Probably you have to think about Kelly's hero pull 04:39:57.160 --> 04:40:00.360 right like he's not known for Diva which causes some of the problems yet 04:40:00.360 --> 04:40:03.900 which means once again this is gonna be a CJ Nano onto Kelly and there's not 04:40:03.900 --> 04:40:07.140 much else they can do here, Sungeon obviously looking for the copy, a couple of good targets, 04:40:07.140 --> 04:40:09.340 D.Va, Cass, all pretty decent. 04:40:09.340 --> 04:40:14.820 Yeah, some pressure here from the Echo on the flank, Psycho getting close to a wall 04:40:14.820 --> 04:40:15.820 as well. 04:40:15.820 --> 04:40:18.940 I think they're just trying to bait some players down, right, just keep the payload moving 04:40:18.940 --> 04:40:23.420 and like force kill in that area, as Flukimino is going to use the title last year on himself, 04:40:23.420 --> 04:40:26.140 doesn't come up with anything with the Sun, it's going to be the Ant Matrix here which 04:40:26.140 --> 04:40:27.860 is forcing them into a weird spot. 04:40:27.860 --> 04:40:31.260 Dallas, they tried to get aggressive there, now they're going to use a copy to try and 04:40:31.260 --> 04:40:32.420 get a wall of their own. 04:40:32.420 --> 04:40:34.660 Oh, okay, they're putting a lot of damage in there, Nanna. 04:40:34.660 --> 04:40:38.220 Bio rather also hits Fixer, that's gonna take care of the rally. 04:40:38.220 --> 04:40:41.600 First pro, trying to heal their way back in towards this fight, so one-for-one. 04:40:41.600 --> 04:40:44.760 Support's back, no defense, Kayla, no support there. 04:40:44.760 --> 04:40:46.860 I just don't get back into mech, you would think at this point as well, 04:40:46.860 --> 04:40:50.800 but you could be VP, Tank, Advantage, CJ, trying to make his way back into the fight. 04:40:50.800 --> 04:40:52.560 So, when he uses Nanna... 04:40:53.260 --> 04:40:56.560 Yeah, but I mean now, you know, Fix obviously here, coming back on the Lucio, 04:40:56.560 --> 04:40:58.200 not gonna play the break here. 04:40:58.200 --> 04:41:01.260 You're gonna have the Sim wall to work with, Dallas, yeah. 04:41:01.260 --> 04:41:02.560 You're forced to basically what? 04:41:02.560 --> 04:41:05.760 You're gonna have to use the nano here onto Kellen. 04:41:05.760 --> 04:41:09.120 Chronic, it feels like the overclock comes on through 04:41:09.120 --> 04:41:11.520 and they do find the kill, that is huge. 04:41:11.520 --> 04:41:14.200 So you end up using the overclock and the nano here 04:41:14.200 --> 04:41:17.080 for Dallas, it feels like VP obviously knows 04:41:17.080 --> 04:41:18.880 this fight is potentially a lost cause. 04:41:18.880 --> 04:41:20.640 They are just gonna kind of find what they can 04:41:20.640 --> 04:41:23.560 and then get out, but already a lot of cart progress. 04:41:23.560 --> 04:41:24.880 So the first fight with the Dallas field 04:41:24.880 --> 04:41:27.360 is all the stabilization flight, like to call it, 04:41:27.360 --> 04:41:29.080 where they get to dig the heels in, 04:41:29.080 --> 04:41:30.800 count the inventory here a little bit, 04:41:30.800 --> 04:41:33.160 The Primal will allow them to be able to stall a little bit longer. 04:41:33.160 --> 04:41:36.400 They did get the wall out of cycle, which is nice. 04:41:36.400 --> 04:41:40.960 But you can, if you're VP, you can either go on that wrap towards this right-hand side, 04:41:40.960 --> 04:41:43.840 where Kellen would be looking, you'd know it's coming. 04:41:43.840 --> 04:41:47.160 Or, which they do, they TP right up there, they've got one player pretty low, it's going 04:41:47.160 --> 04:41:48.560 to be Luke Aminu who is able to stay alive. 04:41:48.560 --> 04:41:52.560 But now you get a pretty sick angle here for this hand matrix with Kev being able to fire 04:41:52.560 --> 04:41:53.560 on through. 04:41:53.560 --> 04:41:54.560 Yeah, exactly. 04:41:54.560 --> 04:41:56.200 That's what the Sim is going to allow you to do, find those creative angles. 04:41:56.200 --> 04:41:57.520 But I think Kellen needs to get aggressive. 04:41:57.520 --> 04:42:00.560 When the window comes down, he needs to get amongst that with the primal. 04:42:00.560 --> 04:42:04.600 We're still moving across the map, people, there's Pro and they can move up to the CJ. 04:42:04.600 --> 04:42:08.760 I mean that is such sick play there with the same TP, but it's not over yet. 04:42:08.760 --> 04:42:14.280 Titled last year onto the Echo, going to knock Psycho down and although they do get a nice 04:42:14.280 --> 04:42:20.480 play there, VP at the start, right, getting CJ out of the fight, it is the Echo and the 04:42:20.480 --> 04:42:23.920 primal there from Kella that come up clutch for Dallas. 04:42:23.920 --> 04:42:26.480 And that's the thing, right, I was talking about how you need to see Kella get aggressive 04:42:26.480 --> 04:42:31.600 primal against the window. That gets even better when VP decide to drop the window inside of the 04:42:31.600 --> 04:42:36.160 bank, which is super tight and narrow, and Kelen's like, this is easy for me. And he instantly gets 04:42:36.160 --> 04:42:40.480 to kill the land in the back line, but VP just melts away. Gifts him out, try to open the next 04:42:40.480 --> 04:42:45.360 fight up, and does two sides. Oh, it's brutal there. Iesum gets quite low. Doesn't have the 04:42:45.360 --> 04:42:49.520 self-destruct just yet, but we'll earn it here in just a second. By losing the echo, 04:42:49.520 --> 04:42:54.560 which Sunjin had copied, could end up being the thing that breaks their hold here, 04:42:54.560 --> 04:42:56.440 Here's Lukamino now falls. 04:42:56.440 --> 04:42:57.800 CJ is going to get the nanos. 04:42:57.800 --> 04:42:59.040 You decide to invest it here. 04:42:59.040 --> 04:42:59.540 He's done it. 04:42:59.540 --> 04:43:00.840 He's popped it onto Kali Danita. 04:43:00.840 --> 04:43:01.720 Just like this one. 04:43:01.720 --> 04:43:02.640 Allow Sgt. to get back in. 04:43:02.640 --> 04:43:03.840 And wow, it's just a freak. 04:43:03.840 --> 04:43:06.440 And Kali Danita, well, with the extra coffee 04:43:06.440 --> 04:43:08.560 that Sgt. finds, the fight will go the way it does. 04:43:08.560 --> 04:43:10.800 In fact, Sgt. probably didn't even need to do that. 04:43:10.800 --> 04:43:12.200 Just didn't expect that his team would 04:43:12.200 --> 04:43:12.960 pop up that hard. 04:43:12.960 --> 04:43:15.520 Kali Danita, both locking in heavy for that falling 04:43:15.520 --> 04:43:16.120 fight defense. 04:43:16.120 --> 04:43:18.320 And no, they probably thought that one was slipping away, 04:43:18.320 --> 04:43:18.560 right? 04:43:18.560 --> 04:43:20.080 Because it definitely looked like VP was going 04:43:20.080 --> 04:43:21.880 to get it over the line. 04:43:21.880 --> 04:43:22.480 Now, Virtus. 04:43:22.480 --> 04:43:27.120 It's just the duplicate self-destruct thrown over the top, see if you can find anything. 04:43:27.120 --> 04:43:31.800 We'll see if VP are gonna ditch this Sim here with a minute 16 on the clock. 04:43:31.800 --> 04:43:34.040 The payload's so close to going over the line. 04:43:34.040 --> 04:43:36.480 No Sim will make it a little bit easier for Reid, right? 04:43:36.480 --> 04:43:38.040 I'm knowing exactly where they're going. 04:43:38.040 --> 04:43:41.840 So that CJ angle, by the way, he tried to off-angle the bionary, but doesn't quite find anything. 04:43:41.840 --> 04:43:43.440 You appreciate the play, though. 04:43:43.440 --> 04:43:47.280 VP at this point trying to find the correct position for the window. 04:43:47.280 --> 04:43:48.880 Bad timing to get Psycho down. 04:43:48.880 --> 04:43:53.400 Psycho didn't want to end up using the recall there, decides to try and play for the health pack. 04:43:53.400 --> 04:43:58.080 It's going to be a immortality field that keeps players up there through a nice bio from CJ. 04:43:58.080 --> 04:44:02.320 It's going to be the ant matrix as well, they're not really able to get much value with it at all, it's just a weird spot. 04:44:02.320 --> 04:44:04.960 They're stuck in the corner, they're just stuck in a such a place with them down. 04:44:04.960 --> 04:44:07.480 Because it doesn't want to age actually, it's going to hold the beat. 04:44:07.480 --> 04:44:14.120 But that is unfortunate with VP because they couldn't find where they could properly use this window lander, drops on a low ground. 04:44:14.120 --> 04:44:20.160 Tries to allow his team to get an angle of the payload, but guess what? CJ drops a huge bionade which instantly forces VP back 04:44:20.160 --> 04:44:23.720 And then they can't even use the window. God, know that off the end matrix at all. 04:44:23.720 --> 04:44:28.080 So VP does have this sound barrier, though, to deal with the overclock that's going to come on through. 04:44:28.580 --> 04:44:33.360 Chronic. Just gonna lingering a boss here. The members of Virtus Pro as he drops on down 04:44:33.360 --> 04:44:36.680 It's gonna be the sound barrier used right away and VP's actually gonna decide to fight this. 04:44:36.680 --> 04:44:42.980 Killin' just barely making out with his life. Gonna get the title blast there to stay up, not able to find anything there 04:44:42.980 --> 04:44:46.580 with the knockback, it's going to be Kevin using the deny pushing on up as Psycho has 04:44:46.580 --> 04:44:52.440 gotten huge here coming up with two. He was putting a lot of pressure onto the payload 04:44:52.440 --> 04:44:56.380 behind the scenes right, forcing some of the players back and this is what I was talking 04:44:56.380 --> 04:45:00.380 about really early on with Sunshine playing the Echo, Psycho always the ability to go 04:45:00.380 --> 04:45:03.740 over the tracer, forces him off of that hero back onto the Genji. 04:45:03.740 --> 04:45:07.260 You can see what Dallas will try to do there right, cut off Virtus.Pro on their approach 04:45:07.260 --> 04:45:10.900 just to intercept their final push but because they did that like you sort of mentioned, 04:45:10.900 --> 04:45:14.740 So I'm going to get to the back side, trying to just get, try the payload, diverting attention 04:45:14.740 --> 04:45:18.740 away, and that'll feel, suddenly a super spread, and their entire final fight on that B point 04:45:18.740 --> 04:45:22.740 just went to Lace a little bit, obviously Fixer got a huge value on that bait. 04:45:22.740 --> 04:45:27.140 Not a lot of time for VP though, you do have the Nano Boost here, used on the kill, and 04:45:27.140 --> 04:45:31.980 he's going to get right on top of Atlanta, and that is a sick dash through from Sunjani, 04:45:31.980 --> 04:45:33.460 he comes up with two. 04:45:33.460 --> 04:45:39.260 This is going to buy a lot of time, Ice is going to get staggered out here, you have 04:45:39.260 --> 04:45:44.300 already credit CJ as well for that double kill because he dropped the phony on top of the supports in sorenjan a single dash 04:45:44.300 --> 04:45:47.780 Who cleans them up both and you mentioned time being a bit of a factor here 04:45:47.780 --> 04:45:52.160 But now they're losing the capability to clean off even with the last 30 seconds 04:45:52.160 --> 04:45:56.260 Landon doesn't have the window anymore that would have been a huge tool for them to get the cap in 04:45:56.420 --> 04:45:57.700 It's gonna be a lot harder 04:45:57.700 --> 04:46:02.420 You need to buy a little bit more time for Kev's to find dead I to cycle with the pulse bomb that was was big on 04:46:02.420 --> 04:46:07.100 Virtus Pro's defense right that's what allowed them to get that hold and this is a great call from Dallas 04:46:07.100 --> 04:46:10.640 they go aggressive they collapse right on top of kid up in the spawn they don't 04:46:10.640 --> 04:46:13.740 know how to allow them to get close they have to touch here as well 04:46:13.740 --> 04:46:17.000 Tracson has to do it so I just got to be the one to go in Kellen's just a lane 04:46:17.000 --> 04:46:23.880 that's so far CJ trying to rock the tall and will he do so he will Dallas feel 04:46:23.880 --> 04:46:31.500 punch Beth on the second match so that was really close there after all is it 04:46:31.500 --> 04:46:34.380 looked like for a while I thought Dallas you know especially with how their 04:46:34.380 --> 04:46:38.820 offense ended. I thought they were going to punt that one away. VP looked so good 04:46:38.820 --> 04:46:43.760 on their first point offense, but then Dallas really kind of turned up on deep 04:46:43.760 --> 04:46:48.840 ends there. I mean what? And VP after their first point take had like about 04:46:48.840 --> 04:46:52.740 five minutes to get that second checkpoint, and they just kind of dwindled 04:46:52.740 --> 04:46:57.420 that clock all the way down as we take a look. At some of the stats here is 04:46:57.420 --> 04:47:00.740 Psycho had a pretty good game on the tracer coming up with some huge pulse 04:47:00.740 --> 04:47:04.300 bomb kills. And then on the other side, I mean, Kellan playing the Winston, which 04:47:04.300 --> 04:47:07.620 which is something we have not seen really, anybody do hero that we don't really think 04:47:07.620 --> 04:47:10.380 is pretty meta at this point, having a lot of success. 04:47:10.380 --> 04:47:13.580 Well, he wasn't really that punished, I felt like he actually managed to get away a lot. 04:47:13.580 --> 04:47:16.820 He wasn't just sort of dying repeat like you would think. 04:47:16.820 --> 04:47:20.660 A lot of Winston's in this particular meta would just be falling by the wayside quickly. 04:47:20.660 --> 04:47:24.940 CJ, I think was a bit of a standout here, because, A, to get your Winston succeed, your 04:47:24.940 --> 04:47:27.260 Ana has to be really on point as well. 04:47:27.260 --> 04:47:32.180 He's building those nanos up, beautiful bionades at multiple times, and a lot of those bionades 04:47:32.180 --> 04:47:33.180 were fight willing. 04:47:33.180 --> 04:47:37.900 about one of the strong rotations that you really need to see out of Virtus.pro shut down entirely 04:47:37.900 --> 04:47:42.540 when Landon drops in the ant matrix and CJ responds with a single Binder that catches three. 04:47:42.540 --> 04:47:47.420 You get the double kill dash from Sondren. That was set up again by a Binder. So I think CJ was 04:47:47.420 --> 04:47:52.300 kind of an unsung hero of this map for Dallasville. Yeah, and just a sick player for Dallas as you 04:47:52.300 --> 04:47:57.660 kind of alluded to before this map number two, just a really sick backline from Dallas that 04:47:57.660 --> 04:48:01.820 allows him to do a lot of different things. Early on it was not really allowed him to do anything. 04:48:01.820 --> 04:48:03.820 I mean they were stuck in the spawn for like minutes 04:48:04.220 --> 04:48:08.940 But then once they started to get going really Dallas with some of these comps took over the game 04:48:09.260 --> 04:48:12.660 Yeah, they're really insane moment as well if you remember it looked like it was a 4v5 04:48:12.660 --> 04:48:15.860 And it looked like it was all bad for Dallas from the B defense 04:48:15.860 --> 04:48:18.780 And then Kallen and Cronk just saved the day the overclock 04:48:18.780 --> 04:48:22.780 I don't even remember if it's an overclock might have just been the raw rails coming in the Kallen 04:48:22.780 --> 04:48:26.420 We've had the primal flat situation just those two players kept it alive 04:48:26.420 --> 04:48:29.660 Sondra coming back in with the copy ended up not even really needing it 04:48:30.020 --> 04:48:36.060 Burnt it anyway, but that was a really clutch fight the Dallas show needed to win that wasn't going their way initially 04:48:36.560 --> 04:48:41.860 Yeah, I mean diva we think is obviously like the ideal pick right in this type of situation 04:48:41.860 --> 04:48:45.420 I think Kellen his hero pool obviously trends more towards the Winston 04:48:45.420 --> 04:48:48.560 You're still playing the honor so on the honor and Winston have a good combination 04:48:49.060 --> 04:48:51.580 And then the Genji as well from sunshine 04:48:51.580 --> 04:48:55.420 I mean, Genji is a pick that we really haven't seen. 04:48:55.420 --> 04:48:56.780 Really, I mean, the last, like, a year 04:48:56.780 --> 04:48:59.020 is kind of falling out of favor with some of the Simcomps 04:48:59.020 --> 04:49:00.380 and Rushcomps that we've had. 04:49:00.380 --> 04:49:02.940 Really highly prevalent in the meta. 04:49:02.940 --> 04:49:06.420 And honestly, if you just subtracted this ending here 04:49:06.420 --> 04:49:10.380 for Dallas, right, it was a pretty strong map overall 04:49:10.380 --> 04:49:10.860 from them, right? 04:49:10.860 --> 04:49:14.060 They had an opportunity to clearly get a full push there. 04:49:14.060 --> 04:49:16.220 They just kind of, you know, Psycho makes a hero play, 04:49:16.220 --> 04:49:17.420 just coming over that pulse bomb. 04:49:17.420 --> 04:49:18.460 It's that B point, though. 04:49:18.460 --> 04:49:20.940 I think the B point offense really slowed 04:49:20.940 --> 04:49:24.900 now for Venus brokers. I think when we both look at this, you mentioned the five minute 04:49:24.900 --> 04:49:28.380 time bank after capping air. I mean, with that kind of time, with that kind of momentum, 04:49:28.380 --> 04:49:31.260 you're thinking VP should take this map pretty comfortably. 04:49:31.260 --> 04:49:32.260 This is a huge moment too. 04:49:32.260 --> 04:49:35.340 Oh yeah, remember this, you know, the window coming down, the Kelly having the perfect 04:49:35.340 --> 04:49:39.860 final in there, shopping up land and getting one of that backline. I think just a couple 04:49:39.860 --> 04:49:42.980 of those missteps, right? I think it does come down to the fact that when you look at 04:49:42.980 --> 04:49:47.620 VP trying to set up these window plays as they're called set piece for a fight. Two 04:49:47.620 --> 04:49:52.820 Two times I can recall distinctly that moment in the bank and the other moment sort of downstairs 04:49:52.820 --> 04:49:55.460 on the hard flank with the buyback coming through the procedure to stop it. 04:49:55.460 --> 04:50:00.100 Those two big moments really stopping VP's pushes, caught them up way too much on that 04:50:00.100 --> 04:50:01.700 B attack and cost them more than time. 04:50:01.700 --> 04:50:05.860 Yeah, never even really to make it back to go get a touch here as we take a look at the 04:50:05.860 --> 04:50:12.740 final moments from VP is ice getting juggled, getting pushback, psycho already used the recall. 04:50:12.740 --> 04:50:17.060 So that is map number two in the books is Dallas field. 04:50:17.060 --> 04:50:19.660 They tie it up at one game apiece. 04:50:19.660 --> 04:50:23.260 So now it'll be Virtus Pro's opportunity to kind of make an imprint on the series in 04:50:23.260 --> 04:50:26.900 terms of the map in it ban process. 04:50:26.900 --> 04:50:27.900 And they're quick. 04:50:27.900 --> 04:50:30.100 They already know we're going to new junk city. 04:50:30.100 --> 04:50:31.580 This doesn't seem too surprising to you. 04:50:31.580 --> 04:50:33.700 I mean, they this is the map they want against data, right? 04:50:33.700 --> 04:50:35.820 So they played the Ram heavily on this map. 04:50:35.820 --> 04:50:36.820 Sim is going to be gone. 04:50:36.820 --> 04:50:39.420 So Dallas field one none of that they know psychospecialty is going to be on that sim, 04:50:39.420 --> 04:50:43.780 which was also by the way, played by VP against Zeta Division. 04:50:43.780 --> 04:50:46.100 WuYang out of the mix knowing that Dallas feel one of the few teams 04:50:46.100 --> 04:50:47.780 that do want to play the WuYang. 04:50:47.780 --> 04:50:49.660 Okay, I mean, it does target Luke a little bit. 04:50:49.660 --> 04:50:51.180 I don't think it's the strongest band, 04:50:51.180 --> 04:50:53.540 but it is a directed targeted band. 04:50:53.540 --> 04:50:55.540 Now that they know that, okay, we won't play the Sim. 04:50:55.540 --> 04:50:56.380 It's kill. 04:50:56.380 --> 04:50:57.420 We'll play the Tracer. 04:50:57.420 --> 04:50:58.740 Our Ram is safe though. 04:50:58.740 --> 04:51:00.500 Ram was one of the big picks from Ice 04:51:00.500 --> 04:51:02.860 on that map of New Jump versus Zeta. 04:51:02.860 --> 04:51:03.700 They got them across the line. 04:51:03.700 --> 04:51:06.180 I will say though, Sim also did a lot of works. 04:51:06.180 --> 04:51:08.060 To speak, I have to figure that part out. 04:51:08.060 --> 04:51:09.700 at least the rest of the team looks good. 04:51:09.700 --> 04:51:13.060 Yeah, as we take a look at the tanks here from map number two, 04:51:13.060 --> 04:51:14.820 I mean, Kellen really popped off. 04:51:14.820 --> 04:51:17.420 And to make this like work on the Winston, right, 04:51:17.420 --> 04:51:19.940 where, you know, not exactly easy as comps to play into, 04:51:19.940 --> 04:51:22.420 it just shows kind of the level that he can play that hero at, 04:51:22.420 --> 04:51:24.540 where kind of taking control of the game from ice 04:51:24.540 --> 04:51:25.460 in every category. 04:51:25.460 --> 04:51:28.780 I mean, the comp just allows you to be really, really 04:51:28.780 --> 04:51:30.940 initiative-having in terms of deciding where the fights take 04:51:30.940 --> 04:51:32.060 place and what you want to do. 04:51:32.060 --> 04:51:34.380 CJ setting up a lot of those executions 04:51:34.380 --> 04:51:36.940 for both his Genji playoff, Sonjin, and also Kellen 04:51:36.940 --> 04:51:43.340 on the Winston, but having like kind of the confidence to bring out a Brig Anna Winston 04:51:43.340 --> 04:51:46.980 in the big two six here Matt, where you just don't see that cock at all. 04:51:46.980 --> 04:51:49.620 It's not just about the Winston, it's the Brig Anna combo as well. 04:51:49.620 --> 04:51:53.660 It's like it's such a classic Hongjo spark looking type of combo that Labour would probably 04:51:53.660 --> 04:51:54.660 be more willing to play here. 04:51:54.660 --> 04:51:56.060 But it's actually Dallas Shulpland. 04:51:56.060 --> 04:51:59.060 We would have probably said they were a bit silly for doing that if they lost the map, 04:51:59.060 --> 04:52:02.900 but Brig here, that they don't even need to go towards the things that I would have 04:52:02.900 --> 04:52:03.900 expected. 04:52:03.900 --> 04:52:05.580 You remember I said Alari would have been a huge choice for them. 04:52:05.580 --> 04:52:09.060 They did play that, didn't work out for Luke, so they said, screw it, let's go to something 04:52:09.060 --> 04:52:12.300 else that VP are not going to expect, and they made it work. 04:52:12.300 --> 04:52:16.700 Right, I mean they were able to make it work, kind of come out on top in that game number 04:52:16.700 --> 04:52:17.700 two. 04:52:17.700 --> 04:52:21.820 Now with Psycho's Sim gone here, like I think you probably see a lot of Tracer here, potentially 04:52:21.820 --> 04:52:22.820 from Psycho. 04:52:22.820 --> 04:52:27.020 I think an opportunity to even play some Reaper, right, if you wanted to, right? 04:52:27.020 --> 04:52:31.740 Reaper obviously we've seen in a lot of these like cat-bashing comps, potentially you can 04:52:31.740 --> 04:52:34.580 work the Reaper into the mix if Kellen is going to go to that, but ooh, this would be 04:52:34.580 --> 04:52:38.420 a little bit of wild card right? Then bringing out the Sigma combat with the 04:52:38.420 --> 04:52:42.020 Mizuki is something that we did not maybe expect from Dallas Fuel. 04:52:42.020 --> 04:52:45.060 Especially on a map where I don't know if you're going to get the full value out of 04:52:45.060 --> 04:52:47.860 Mizuki, I still see when you want to play these kind of Sigma based 04:52:47.860 --> 04:52:50.180 pro compositions to me it kind of works better on 04:52:50.180 --> 04:52:53.220 front to back maps like Escort and Hybrid. So 04:52:53.220 --> 04:52:55.700 it ends up being okay for them. So you're going to go towards the May. Thought 04:52:55.700 --> 04:52:59.540 about the Tall which would have been a bit of anti-dive, but like Zeta do a lot 04:52:59.540 --> 04:53:01.540 in the government, proper playing a lot of May, 04:53:01.540 --> 04:53:07.000 So I'm just taking a page out of his book saying let's bring the mail. Yeah, and Dallas feel obviously ditching the Lucio here on 04:53:07.800 --> 04:53:10.500 Flashpoint, which is always a risky move 04:53:10.500 --> 04:53:15.780 But we'll have Luke here on the Mizuki is for VP. They're gonna go back to that rematch or look right? 04:53:15.780 --> 04:53:18.860 I think they expected that Sigma maybe they didn't expect the Sigma with the May 04:53:19.260 --> 04:53:24.500 So we'll see how Dallas kind of plays into this is ice already gonna kind of use that nemesis for him 04:53:24.500 --> 04:53:26.300 See what he can find the may well already out 04:53:26.300 --> 04:53:28.980 But now have to back up and that's the thing right may well scorn now 04:53:28.980 --> 04:53:32.000 opportunity, Vortex the speed versus Hal, Virtus Pro is going to get on top of 04:53:32.000 --> 04:53:34.500 Dallas Hill, just completely collapsed onto them and no speed boost on the 04:53:34.500 --> 04:53:38.000 defensive. In fact, there it is, Vortex, straight onto Kellan, first kill. 04:53:38.000 --> 04:53:43.040 Yes, just a lot more aggression here from Virtus Pro, obviously aided by that 04:53:43.040 --> 04:53:46.840 Lucio's speed with the tracer, they can kind of get past that Sigma shield. So 04:53:46.840 --> 04:53:52.080 we'll see how comfortable Dallas actually is on this comp. So they'll have to 04:53:52.080 --> 04:53:55.120 kind of maneuver it in, as it looks like we're already maybe going to see some 04:53:55.120 --> 04:53:58.980 changes here. What the Torb out again? Interesting. I would have thought the 04:53:58.980 --> 04:54:02.480 May would have been stronger here. Torb is going to cause some problems to 04:54:02.480 --> 04:54:05.600 Psycho but overall I don't think it's going to be that impactful you would 04:54:05.600 --> 04:54:10.640 imagine. Perhaps when we start looking for it's like... We all predicted it's 04:54:10.640 --> 04:54:14.880 going to be the Torbjorn Sigma Mizuki Coms coming in here. Yeah we're really 04:54:14.880 --> 04:54:19.920 cooking now Dallas. Yeah so we'll see if they can open this up with the Torb. 04:54:19.920 --> 04:54:22.880 Obviously the turret's going to be pretty good to kind of deter Psycho. Maybe 04:54:22.880 --> 04:54:24.880 Maybe you can protect the backline a little bit. 04:54:24.880 --> 04:54:26.880 Like against a die, this would make a lot of sense. 04:54:26.880 --> 04:54:28.880 If you were playing against the fall or Winston, this is 100%. 04:54:28.880 --> 04:54:30.880 But right now, we'll have to see if Sunja's really cooking or not. 04:54:32.880 --> 04:54:34.880 Oh, nice rock there actually interrupts 04:54:34.880 --> 04:54:36.880 the dead eye that comes through. 04:54:36.880 --> 04:54:38.880 Chronic ends up using his dead eye just to deter VP 04:54:38.880 --> 04:54:40.880 from pushing on through that choke. 04:54:40.880 --> 04:54:42.880 But now it'll be Dallas coming with an advantage here 04:54:42.880 --> 04:54:44.880 with their Kitsune rush and they already lose Kepster here 04:54:44.880 --> 04:54:46.880 on the side of Virtus Pro. 04:54:46.880 --> 04:54:48.880 I sense the side of Virtus Pro is going to annihilate. 04:54:48.880 --> 04:54:50.880 He's not going to do so. Chronic's just going to pop his head off. 04:54:50.880 --> 04:54:54.840 Dallas Fuel now be able to get that flip VP though. They're looking the situation thinking okay 04:54:54.840 --> 04:54:58.200 We'll let the point go across still have 86 that's one fight territory 04:54:58.200 --> 04:55:02.060 You got to come back in with the fixer beat plus annihilation drop it on top of the Dallas 04:55:02.060 --> 04:55:06.840 Fuel that no longer have any support ultimates. That's a pretty good win condition reverse bro 04:55:06.840 --> 04:55:08.840 So not a bad spot for them just yet 04:55:09.560 --> 04:55:12.560 Yeah, it does have psycho here on the point contesting it 04:55:12.880 --> 04:55:16.420 They're getting it about you halfway, so it's gonna force Dallas Fuel to back on up 04:55:16.420 --> 04:55:20.200 That's gonna allow a vertus pro to enter through the show and now killing is a really weird spot 04:55:20.880 --> 04:55:24.880 Just waiting for what's going to come through here. Flux could be interesting though, does pop. 04:55:24.880 --> 04:55:29.880 One of the plays, Kevster into the air, but now the annihilation to put the fair into Kalin, Dallas Field, 04:55:29.880 --> 04:55:33.880 and with Ike's top, he knows win condition, nothing to stop him, no support ultimate, 04:55:33.880 --> 04:55:36.880 nothing to get away from him as well in terms of speed boost from Dallas Field, 04:55:36.880 --> 04:55:40.880 and Ike's top's all too happy just running and punches away into victory on point one. 04:55:40.880 --> 04:55:43.880 Yeah, but Sycho, getting to the point, getting that touch, drawing players back, 04:55:43.880 --> 04:55:49.880 he gives the Virtus.Pro the opportunity to kind of like not have to use the, you know, amp it up to get that like speed to close the gap, 04:55:49.880 --> 04:55:53.960 to close the gap onto Dallas allows them to kind of enter that area for free and 04:55:53.960 --> 04:55:56.880 then just like no respect for the Sigma right they just kind of run right by 04:55:56.880 --> 04:56:00.000 with an emissive form once that wears out pops the annihilation to keep it 04:56:00.000 --> 04:56:04.120 rolling and you're just able to barrel down Kellen and like I said the Mizuki 04:56:04.120 --> 04:56:07.640 now being swapped over for hook me as a larry and said I'm not convinced on a 04:56:07.640 --> 04:56:10.640 very open map like a flashpoint it's gonna have the same kind of value as 04:56:10.640 --> 04:56:13.360 you would on an escort or high proceed it's gonna move away from that but still 04:56:13.360 --> 04:56:17.640 largely playing a quote composition here advantage with the Katsune rush here for 04:56:17.640 --> 04:56:20.280 Virtus Pro, we'll see if they decide to use this at the top. 04:56:20.280 --> 04:56:23.280 You can't just multi-call on top of the rush though, so that could be a good play for 04:56:23.280 --> 04:56:25.520 Saundred, he's looking for it. 04:56:25.520 --> 04:56:29.480 Looks like maybe VP gonna opt and go low here, they're not gonna like try and dislodge 04:56:29.480 --> 04:56:32.200 the Sigma from the high ground, right, just kinda force that Sigma down. 04:56:32.200 --> 04:56:35.960 It's gonna multi-call early, so it should be just Dallas or back, or rather Virtus 04:56:35.960 --> 04:56:40.560 Pro backing away from this one a little bit, giving space, re-entering with a continued 04:56:40.560 --> 04:56:41.560 rush, especially Luke Minow. 04:56:41.560 --> 04:56:44.200 Now back, oh my god, Cyclone, they're here so far. 04:56:44.200 --> 04:56:47.400 I mean, no way that the supports can keep themselves alive. 04:56:47.400 --> 04:56:51.400 Obviously, the benefit of the double flex is to play a little bit more aggressive, 04:56:51.400 --> 04:56:55.000 but not able to protect themselves against Psycho there. 04:56:55.000 --> 04:56:58.700 You do lose Cab here towards the end of the fight, 04:56:58.700 --> 04:57:01.200 but Chronicle get cleaned up on a high ground, 04:57:01.200 --> 04:57:03.000 and I love the way that VP played that. 04:57:03.000 --> 04:57:05.700 They were not going to kind of challenge the Sigma at that range. 04:57:05.700 --> 04:57:08.500 They were going to drop down, course the Sigma down to the low ground, and then fight. 04:57:08.500 --> 04:57:11.400 And so the Tracer play so far has been so good. 04:57:11.400 --> 04:57:14.000 Psycho just completely annihilating 1v2, 04:57:14.000 --> 04:57:16.000 double back line is gone. 04:57:16.000 --> 04:57:18.720 And that's considering the fact that Sondre dropped in the Moltencourt, 04:57:18.720 --> 04:57:20.800 and Ferdinand's pro said, okay, well, we're just gonna save our rush, 04:57:20.800 --> 04:57:22.000 we're gonna re-approach. 04:57:22.000 --> 04:57:25.920 And our re-approach is still coming in for Dallasfield on the opposite end of things. 04:57:25.920 --> 04:57:27.600 CJ now trying to catch up on the rush. 04:57:27.600 --> 04:57:31.600 Yeah, Shield blocks the accretion of that off-angle there for Ice-Nomas. 04:57:31.600 --> 04:57:34.720 Kev is still on fire along with Psycho. 04:57:34.720 --> 04:57:36.880 The casunate rush comes down there from CJ, 04:57:36.880 --> 04:57:39.600 but they already lose two players. 04:57:39.600 --> 04:57:43.440 One at the hands of Psycho, then one with Kev early on is... 04:57:44.000 --> 04:57:47.960 that push goes for nothing and now what Dallas without the speed right you're 04:57:47.960 --> 04:57:51.600 thinking about like do you even have a really good fight here towards the end 04:57:51.600 --> 04:57:54.800 I mean something can maybe get a touch and then kind of try and push him behind 04:57:54.800 --> 04:57:58.040 if you're gonna be pushing into the sound barrier plus annihilation it might be 04:57:58.040 --> 04:58:00.520 worth it if you can get a touch just to falsify it in because you could still 04:58:00.520 --> 04:58:04.520 force ultimates out RVP they have ultimates in the back to fall Dallas 04:58:04.520 --> 04:58:07.480 feel to be able to try and collect but largely this fight is looking all VP 04:58:07.480 --> 04:58:11.760 I mean Kellen taking so much damage on the walk up in is that he does get the 04:58:11.760 --> 04:58:19.300 Annihilation out so that is beneficial there for the Dallas fuel, but another point that goes in favor of Virtus Pro 04:58:19.860 --> 04:58:22.520 Few kills here towards the end just to clean it up 04:58:22.520 --> 04:58:26.620 But VP has looked great here after all on new junk city. I mean maps call wise 04:58:26.620 --> 04:58:31.480 It's all vernice pro Dallas fuel just trying to tax away what little type of you know silver lines 04:58:31.480 --> 04:58:35.160 They can get in the silver lining here just like we saw in the first point is that's going for a final push 04:58:35.160 --> 04:58:39.400 Try and get an ultimate out annihilation is a pretty costly ultra so it's nice kept the Sun though 04:58:39.400 --> 04:58:42.120 another ultimate that will want to see some value out of the Camino. Struggling to get 04:58:42.120 --> 04:58:45.280 anything out of that in the last map. Yeah, Kellen gonna end up using the 04:58:45.280 --> 04:58:50.600 Gravitic Flux here. Fix it, not gonna end up invest the beat, so maybe you feel like 04:58:50.600 --> 04:58:54.680 you're gonna be able to kind of, you know, come back, fight this next one with that 04:58:54.680 --> 04:58:59.720 sound barrier being a better spot. Nice clean up there. From Kronik comes up with 04:58:59.720 --> 04:59:05.120 three kills there. Doesn't even have to invest the overclock to do it, so you 04:59:05.120 --> 04:59:08.360 just win that fight, what? Off the Captain's Sun and the Gravitic Flux. 04:59:08.360 --> 04:59:11.840 Yeah, I think VP wanted to try and kite away from the captain's son 04:59:11.840 --> 04:59:14.160 But still caught up by the flush ended up being the actual killer 04:59:14.360 --> 04:59:18.600 As the winner didn't get too much work done on the captain's son. I believe it was actually sues you to weigh by landing 04:59:19.100 --> 04:59:20.980 They have to be careful positioning here 04:59:20.980 --> 04:59:25.780 It's gonna be the sound barrier that opens things up or clock uses well nice shot there from Keb 04:59:26.320 --> 04:59:30.740 finishing off CJ and when I was talking about worried about positioning is okay 04:59:30.740 --> 04:59:33.240 Hold on chronic answering the two, but he's the only one is that 04:59:33.740 --> 04:59:38.060 You know when Kellen is playing so far up in those positions with the speed boost available 04:59:38.060 --> 04:59:40.920 For VP especially with a sound barrier in that situation 04:59:40.920 --> 04:59:45.740 He becomes such an easy target for the rematcher to just pop nemesis for him get behind the shield and just barrel down 04:59:45.740 --> 04:59:49.900 Yeah, exactly me you speed into and vortex pop nemesis. Yeah, Kellen just dies 04:59:50.380 --> 04:59:53.200 Basically no way to keep at least at least he's got look me to on the loose show now 04:59:53.200 --> 04:59:56.820 So slowly you look at the doubts for backline. They're slowly matching VP 04:59:56.820 --> 05:00:01.420 But could it be too late in the day because they try to make the double-flex ball work and now and if a look me to catch up 05:00:01.420 --> 05:00:03.600 It's CJ though. That's on powder with Landis from father 05:00:03.600 --> 05:00:09.480 Cavett has been on a tear all event along 05:00:10.720 --> 05:00:13.240 Give him two more here on the egg 05:00:15.240 --> 05:00:19.560 I don't know what it is. It is this map for Kevser. He is unreal 05:00:20.240 --> 05:00:24.120 This hero as well. Yeah, and I mean psycho has his pulse bump 05:00:24.120 --> 05:00:30.380 He's been so good connecting with these a pulse bomb onto the supports could just absolutely ruin Dallas fuel on this map 05:00:30.720 --> 05:00:32.720 Lock it down for Vertus Pro 05:00:32.720 --> 05:00:37.720 Both teams end up here with their Katsune rushes. 05:00:37.720 --> 05:00:42.720 Try to win going in. Kev needs to be a big target for Dallas Fuel, but also they got to keep Kronik alive. 05:00:42.720 --> 05:00:45.720 They won't keep Lukmino alive. Last point here, last point here. 05:00:45.720 --> 05:00:50.720 Is it going to be enough though? 4 vs 3. Ike's still nearly on to annihilation. 05:00:50.720 --> 05:00:53.720 Remind the VP on 99% for the cap itself. 05:00:53.720 --> 05:00:55.720 And they're looking like they'll get the flip. 05:00:55.720 --> 05:00:58.720 Yeah, they do get the flip here for Dallas Fuel, so that stops it from the time being. 05:00:58.720 --> 05:01:02.720 You're going to have Chronic alive on an off angle. CJ here as well. 05:01:02.720 --> 05:01:05.720 It'll be Sundryun who gets a touch here just keeping OT rolling. 05:01:05.720 --> 05:01:08.720 Lukamino here over to the jetpack cap just to try and stay alive. 05:01:08.720 --> 05:01:12.720 Get back into the fight quick as Isom does have this annihilation. 05:01:12.720 --> 05:01:14.720 Probably just waiting for Kelin to come in. It's going to be a touch there from Lukamino 05:01:14.720 --> 05:01:16.720 getting dangerously close to OT. 05:01:16.720 --> 05:01:20.720 Playing down and saying it is Psycho coming up with the first pick here. 05:01:20.720 --> 05:01:23.720 Chronic dangerously low. This might be it, Avril. 05:01:23.720 --> 05:01:26.720 That's the map for sure. Annihilation just to put the cherry on top. 05:01:26.720 --> 05:01:32.240 But Tronic will get nothing more done. No C-pound, no point found and the map 05:01:32.640 --> 05:01:34.400 Go back towards 05:01:34.400 --> 05:01:42.380 Virtus Pro. A dominant win here, man. 3-0 on this new junk city. Didn't look like Dallas Fuel really had a strong 05:01:42.720 --> 05:01:47.560 Idea of what they needed to play. Constant hero swaps backline. Just put him keep that 05:01:47.960 --> 05:01:51.760 1 and 2 in terms of Lucio Kirika. This is your company going to play win. 05:01:51.760 --> 05:01:56.600 So many swaps possible, particularly the backline and Dallas Fuel playing a little bit too much mystery hero 05:01:56.600 --> 05:01:58.600 to get anything done on you, Junk. 05:01:58.600 --> 05:02:01.600 And I also think, look, I mean, Psycho and Kev, 05:02:01.600 --> 05:02:05.600 just really winning the kind of DPS battle, right? 05:02:05.600 --> 05:02:07.600 I mean, you see, Chronic actually had a pretty good game 05:02:07.600 --> 05:02:09.600 on the sewage in terms of damage, right? 05:02:09.600 --> 05:02:12.600 But it just feels like the impact from Kev and Psycho. 05:02:12.600 --> 05:02:14.600 Psycho, especially with those pulse bombs, 05:02:14.600 --> 05:02:16.600 constantly builds like every time, 05:02:16.600 --> 05:02:18.600 coming up with a kill or two, 05:02:18.600 --> 05:02:20.600 so you take a look at some of the clips. 05:02:20.600 --> 05:02:22.600 What do you think about this first point 05:02:22.600 --> 05:02:25.600 of just composition in the swaps here for Dallas? 05:02:25.600 --> 05:02:29.040 feel like it put them behind for the rest of the game pretty significantly yeah 05:02:29.040 --> 05:02:31.440 I mean I question the usage of the Mizuki straight away 05:02:31.440 --> 05:02:36.400 But then you saw the soldier swap onto the tall of which to me is a strange call because you would want to play that if 05:02:36.400 --> 05:02:40.520 You're going up against a dive very punishing against any of the dive tanks certainly against trace of it 05:02:40.520 --> 05:02:44.120 You know, okay, it's annoying for psycho once you actually saw the molten coal fine 05:02:44.120 --> 05:02:45.880 This was not a good fight 05:02:45.880 --> 05:02:49.840 Unfortunately Dallas feel because so easy for VP just to kite that one away 05:02:49.840 --> 05:02:54.860 It's the fact that psycho to me one of the best plays he made on that particular point which I show up in the replay here 05:02:54.860 --> 05:02:59.180 He's just like one lead to the back line by himself. Yeah, I just saw yeah 05:02:59.180 --> 05:03:05.660 Yeah, it was like a pretty sick play ends up taking out Luke Amino and then just kind of CJ is like teleporting towards them 05:03:05.660 --> 05:03:09.700 And doesn't have his back to him and just takes him out as I know also Dallas 05:03:09.700 --> 05:03:12.820 It's another really like kind of a interesting fight that we catch here on replay 05:03:12.820 --> 05:03:15.740 Which is pretty awesome because Dallas has to use a lot of their ultimates to kind of 05:03:16.260 --> 05:03:20.860 Stand that push that BP is going towards their spawn and they really have a lock here towards the end 05:03:20.860 --> 05:03:26.500 I'm wondering if this is going to be a Kalin here, a bull issue, because he's the call 05:03:26.500 --> 05:03:28.380 to play the Sigma even on this map. 05:03:28.380 --> 05:03:29.540 I'm not saying you can't do it. 05:03:29.540 --> 05:03:33.100 I think Bernard even dropped the Sigma on this map, but it just seems like it's so much 05:03:33.100 --> 05:03:35.540 easier to pilot the Lucio-Curie Ram. 05:03:35.540 --> 05:03:36.540 It's so straightforward. 05:03:36.540 --> 05:03:38.180 You know what the win conditions are. 05:03:38.180 --> 05:03:40.660 Even in the first couple of points, you've grown up against a no Lucio on the other 05:03:40.660 --> 05:03:42.980 side, which for Flashpoint, you call that out, Matt. 05:03:42.980 --> 05:03:46.860 It's a strange call to make, and it's just so easy for you to drop Voltec, speed in, 05:03:46.860 --> 05:03:47.860 punch Kalin down, or whoever. 05:03:47.860 --> 05:03:50.740 And what are you gonna do if you're Kallen on the Sigma? 05:03:50.740 --> 05:03:55.020 That's just like a tough situation to be in and he plays Sigma like throughout the whole thing 05:03:55.120 --> 05:03:59.160 He's not really keen on the diva so far and that might be hurting him right now because 05:03:59.620 --> 05:04:04.980 Diva might have been a good call from the swap to yeah, maybe anything other thing because eventually they played Lucid Curie anyway 05:04:04.980 --> 05:04:08.200 Yeah, I also think there's like a pretty sick possibility here, right? 05:04:08.200 --> 05:04:12.020 Like, you know Dallas will want to play Sigma at least what it looks like, right? 05:04:12.420 --> 05:04:14.940 We'll be going over to either hybrid or push 05:04:14.940 --> 05:04:19.820 for the next map. So like you do have an opportunity here for Dallas though, right? 05:04:19.820 --> 05:04:23.700 You can pick a map that you think is maybe a little bit Sigma favored, while 05:04:23.700 --> 05:04:27.340 also getting rid of the Rematra, right? You have the ability to ban the Rematra 05:04:27.340 --> 05:04:31.140 and then force them into maybe a diva, right? That could be a 05:04:31.140 --> 05:04:34.980 possibility where you can force them to play the diva into the 05:04:34.980 --> 05:04:38.020 Sigma that comes on through. That would be Kings if they really want to lock in 05:04:38.020 --> 05:04:42.020 for the Sigma Poe comp. Where, by the way, Mizuki will also be good. 05:04:42.020 --> 05:04:44.820 Mizuki will actually be good on that map as well in terms of like how that 05:04:44.820 --> 05:04:48.820 Cup works on a hybrid Kings Royce like to me is the obvious choice for Dallas 05:04:48.820 --> 05:04:52.780 Well if that is in fact the direction they're looking to go to yeah an 05:04:53.460 --> 05:04:57.500 Opportunity obviously as I know some of the players take a little bit of a bathroom break here for 05:04:57.900 --> 05:05:02.540 Know them to come up with some answers. That's the timer Dallas. Yeah, you see 05:05:02.540 --> 05:05:08.460 We are that timer is sometimes that time is like seven minutes and it feels like we come back here really quick 05:05:08.460 --> 05:05:14.480 But it'll be new Bonnie the map pick here for Dallas fuel. So see see that 05:05:14.820 --> 05:05:16.900 That's the benefit of being here, right? 05:05:16.900 --> 05:05:19.300 Everybody else is looking at a clock. 05:05:19.300 --> 05:05:22.180 We already know the map selection coming up. 05:05:22.180 --> 05:05:24.180 We know it's Newbody. 05:05:24.180 --> 05:05:26.420 Got the links on the English stream, you know? 05:05:26.420 --> 05:05:28.780 So Newbody's a pretty decent Winston map as well, right? 05:05:28.780 --> 05:05:30.700 I mean, that was the fallback. 05:05:30.700 --> 05:05:32.860 You know what a decent map is for Newbody? 05:05:32.860 --> 05:05:34.540 It's a good cat-passion map. 05:05:34.540 --> 05:05:38.020 It is, but why Dallas feels like the team out of these two 05:05:38.020 --> 05:05:39.660 that wouldn't want to play the cat-passion? 05:05:39.660 --> 05:05:41.700 Because they lost on Oasis, right? 05:05:41.700 --> 05:05:44.620 So they're probably the team that would not want to do it. 05:05:44.620 --> 05:05:49.940 We actually might get away with a full series that will go to at least full maps by the way. 05:05:49.940 --> 05:05:52.260 You don't see a cat or a passion fan one time. 05:05:52.260 --> 05:05:53.260 Yeah, that's true. 05:05:53.260 --> 05:05:54.260 In a heavy competition. 05:05:54.260 --> 05:05:55.460 But that's like, that's insane to me. 05:05:55.460 --> 05:05:57.740 But it would be fun. 05:05:57.740 --> 05:05:59.100 It is kind of wild to see. 05:05:59.100 --> 05:06:01.620 So Numbani is the map selection for Dallas Fuel. 05:06:01.620 --> 05:06:07.260 Obviously, tournament lives on the line here as they find themselves down to one against 05:06:07.260 --> 05:06:08.260 Virtus. 05:06:08.260 --> 05:06:09.260 Pro. 05:06:09.260 --> 05:06:14.460 VP has looked really, I think obviously with how EMEA has been pretty competitive. 05:06:14.460 --> 05:06:19.180 VP we're like wondering how they would kind of fair coming into this tournament and I think they've actually 05:06:19.440 --> 05:06:23.260 You've been a lot better than people expected. I thought they would have a pretty strong performance 05:06:23.260 --> 05:06:27.200 It looks like they're kind of backing that up and these two players are a big reason why we expect it to keep 05:06:27.200 --> 05:06:30.140 So obviously lead the way in terms of the stopout on the DPS side 05:06:30.140 --> 05:06:34.500 The cycle has been really performing as well and on heroes that you know 05:06:34.500 --> 05:06:37.520 Some of the heroes you would expect them on obviously coming in with some experience 05:06:37.520 --> 05:06:42.320 So there are some people last year who are like Kev is washed. It's like bro stay on stay on that side 05:06:42.320 --> 05:06:51.200 I think his team was in a little bit of a rough spot last night with all of the mix ups happening 05:06:51.200 --> 05:06:52.200 on that. 05:06:52.200 --> 05:06:55.400 You put Kevser onto this VP lineup that was already fighting some good success last year 05:06:55.400 --> 05:06:58.560 Matt and he's obviously performing, you're bringing Cycle with some good experience and 05:06:58.560 --> 05:07:01.840 now he's also performing on the Tracer as we saw in the series. 05:07:01.840 --> 05:07:07.080 Cycle coming in off a world championship right with PEM like bringing that kind of like experience 05:07:07.080 --> 05:07:08.080 to the table. 05:07:08.080 --> 05:07:16.040 So, it is a Lucio ban here for the Dallas Fuel as VP decides to get rid of the Maga. 05:07:16.040 --> 05:07:18.240 So, yeah, what were we going to say? 05:07:18.240 --> 05:07:21.440 I'm really hyped about the Lucio ban and the reason why is because when you think about 05:07:21.440 --> 05:07:25.800 what went wrong in the last map is the fact that if you want to really play the Sigma 05:07:25.800 --> 05:07:28.680 and you're going up against Lucio, carry Ram, and they're just going to speed Warwick's 05:07:28.680 --> 05:07:30.480 into you, okay, let's get rid of the Lucio. 05:07:30.480 --> 05:07:32.560 Now we're going to be a slower type of matchup here. 05:07:32.560 --> 05:07:36.040 Now if you want to lean back and towards the Sigma, now you're playing more of a slow 05:07:36.040 --> 05:07:37.040 poke style. 05:07:37.040 --> 05:07:40.040 You can put the Mizuki in there as well, make that one work, Dallas, you have more flexible 05:07:40.040 --> 05:07:42.960 supports on your end of the way, that's one of your biggest strengths versus VP. 05:07:42.960 --> 05:07:45.680 But I think this opens the door for VP to display Kat Bastian. 05:07:45.680 --> 05:07:46.680 Correct. 05:07:46.680 --> 05:07:51.440 And that's what the Malga band says to me, is okay, well we might just prefer a Kat Bastian 05:07:51.440 --> 05:07:55.040 because you get rid of the Malga, Malga is one of the clear answers to the Kat Bastian 05:07:55.040 --> 05:07:58.120 and you also know, by the way, that Kellan's been kind of uncomfortable with picking the 05:07:58.120 --> 05:08:02.400 Diva so far, so if Kellan refuses to play the Diva, can't play the Malga because it's 05:08:02.400 --> 05:08:04.760 banned, his options against Kat Bastian start to run pretty thin. 05:08:04.760 --> 05:08:08.440 Yeah, I mean he can try and play Winston, but it just feels like he would just be a 05:08:08.440 --> 05:08:12.860 pinata. I mean he would just get beat up playing the Winston into, I know, the 05:08:12.860 --> 05:08:17.240 Cap Bastion style. That would be crazy. He could play ball. That is on the table. 05:08:17.240 --> 05:08:20.160 He'd have to be a confident ball and his team would have to be ready for that when 05:08:20.160 --> 05:08:24.640 they could do, because we've seen in Korea, Crazy Coon, Nzeta, Milgaru, and 05:08:24.640 --> 05:08:29.240 Jumbin obviously play the Cap Bastion with the ball. So that is as possible, 05:08:29.240 --> 05:08:32.520 and maybe Kellan will have to start leaning on that because running out of 05:08:32.520 --> 05:08:37.800 options here. So I think both of these bands pretty impactful. I'm telling it by the way in terms of where the teams actually want to 05:08:37.800 --> 05:08:39.560 go towards for what could be our final match. 05:08:40.080 --> 05:08:47.080 Yeah, as I think this like I would almost say it slightly favors VP in the sense that like I think they have a little bit more 05:08:47.360 --> 05:08:49.360 flexibility to kind of work around this year 05:08:49.720 --> 05:08:55.080 where if you train play some of these Sigma comps, maybe play a little bit slower, they can't bastion 05:08:55.080 --> 05:08:59.360 you know with some of these open sight lines in the body, especially if you're gonna play that double flex support, right? 05:08:59.360 --> 05:09:05.120 could be really vulnerable both players have to be extremely careful we're about like a minute 05:09:05.120 --> 05:09:12.800 till we get into game here live from champions clash is dallas field tournament life on the 05:09:12.800 --> 05:09:18.320 line here against vertus pro who's been playing back-to-back game shooting pretty hot i mean they 05:09:18.320 --> 05:09:22.960 look warm up coming off that loss from zeta and had some very close calls there where they 05:09:22.960 --> 05:09:26.800 maybe could have even taken more maps off of zeta division i'm sure they'll be looking for a bit 05:09:26.800 --> 05:09:31.560 bit of revenge. I know VP believe that they have more of a life to play through in this 05:09:31.560 --> 05:09:35.800 moment through the low bracket. I kind of want to see a game five. I mean, we have an 05:09:35.800 --> 05:09:40.920 ad like we've had a lot of just like blowouts here. I mean, we had a game go to three earlier. 05:09:40.920 --> 05:09:46.760 It was the VP Webo game, but we haven't had a many close series here. But a four map of 05:09:46.760 --> 05:09:52.400 Zeta VP, but not five yet. Yeah, that's true is the VP looked quite competitive against 05:09:52.400 --> 05:09:58.120 a lot of those games are really close. I wonder, as we move forward in this tournament, what 05:09:58.120 --> 05:10:04.600 it says, whether we'll see how CR, and Zeta, stack up against each other, and then if VP 05:10:04.600 --> 05:10:07.640 can get past the Dallas Fuel here and continue their run. 05:10:07.640 --> 05:10:12.360 This is also the last hope for North America right now. You've got SSG gone, Dallas Fuel, 05:10:12.360 --> 05:10:14.600 holding the Candles strong for NA. 05:10:14.600 --> 05:10:18.840 Dallas Fuel being the last hope for North America is something Overwatch fans are very 05:10:18.840 --> 05:10:24.760 used to. It is something we have gotten used to throughout the history of competitive overwatch, 05:10:24.760 --> 05:10:34.520 so they are trying to extend NA's life in this tournament. It'll be VP on defense here to open 05:10:34.520 --> 05:10:38.600 it up. We've actually discussed like where we expected the cops to go at Ryan Matt, 05:10:38.600 --> 05:10:42.360 I think we called it pretty correctly here. Malva ban means that VP want to lean towards the cab 05:10:42.360 --> 05:10:45.720 bastion, Lucio ban means that Dallas will probably want to lean towards more of a poke 05:10:45.720 --> 05:10:49.280 composition with Kelly on the Sigma, but we are also sort of locking in Luke 05:10:49.280 --> 05:10:52.720 and me for the cat for now, which does say that potential for current to go to 05:10:52.720 --> 05:10:55.200 the ball as a bashing is still there, which means Dallas will be playing some 05:10:55.200 --> 05:11:00.120 sort of like a weird Sigma cat bashing, a little bit more off meta compared to the 05:11:00.120 --> 05:11:06.040 standard cat bashing. I don't know, I mean that's a weird look, right? If 05:11:06.040 --> 05:11:11.040 somebody can make it work though, potentially the Dallas Fuel is, Kelly has 05:11:11.040 --> 05:11:17.600 looked his most comfortable on the Sigma, so let's see what chronic decides to do. 05:11:17.600 --> 05:11:22.200 They can't in the mix, they may be waiting if they see, okay so they're not 05:11:22.200 --> 05:11:26.640 gonna play the Bastion. And by the way, Sunjin on cast, which is typically 05:11:26.640 --> 05:11:31.240 Chronic's hero, so you're gonna basically have double, no there's gonna be double, yeah okay. 05:11:31.240 --> 05:11:35.200 Chronic's gonna go back. Yeah, yeah, I was like, there's no way 05:11:35.200 --> 05:11:39.840 tournament life on the line. We're going, you know, Mizuki, Hanzo, 05:11:39.840 --> 05:11:44.160 You're trying to challenge high ground. I interest you into the name. I've come up for this comp 05:11:44.160 --> 05:11:49.360 Sure, so he's not a few that we've been we've been shut down. What do you think of a cat 130? 05:11:49.880 --> 05:11:54.560 Whoo, that tickles you a little bit. I mean see see that's where you bait me, right? 05:11:54.560 --> 05:11:57.300 You know my call exact. That's why you're trying to get me into that 05:11:57.300 --> 05:12:00.680 You know I'm playing to your interest. Yeah, so he's had a few that I 05:12:01.200 --> 05:12:05.960 Cash I don't even know which ones are she's had like nine throughout the day as I hope 05:12:05.960 --> 05:12:08.840 They're going over, right there, Kephs are going over the top. 05:12:08.840 --> 05:12:10.240 It's an all-pimistic rock? 05:12:10.240 --> 05:12:15.880 Yeah, it's Kela and trying to make a TikTok there, just trying to snap him across the way. 05:12:15.880 --> 05:12:18.520 It's Kela dangerously low there on the point. 05:12:18.520 --> 05:12:20.920 His pressure's just coming from all sides. 05:12:20.920 --> 05:12:25.160 So for VP, I think the thing you like here, right with that Divas, you can control some of this high ground. 05:12:25.160 --> 05:12:28.080 It's going to be two ticks though, four Dallas. 05:12:28.080 --> 05:12:31.120 They've done a nice job weathering some of the damage coming on through. 05:12:31.120 --> 05:12:34.760 VP got to get into this play because the point's going to go by full Dallas field. 05:12:34.760 --> 05:12:37.860 Kephz has done enough damage, he's found Opus, we're looking towards his plus 05:12:37.860 --> 05:12:41.140 Landon and Cj, they need to be using these so far, Sunjin down his site, 05:12:41.140 --> 05:12:43.060 go big kill for VP to open with. 05:12:43.060 --> 05:12:47.160 Yeah, defense matrix gone, it's gonna be a Katsune rush here from both teams. 05:12:47.160 --> 05:12:51.960 It's gonna be the artillery there from Keph, dropping it right inside that Katsune rush. 05:12:51.960 --> 05:12:55.760 Katnap here, it is going in, oh you're gonna try and drag Kelen into the squad, 05:12:55.760 --> 05:12:58.660 but a nice job finishing off Fixa. 05:12:58.660 --> 05:13:02.260 It's gonna be the Gravitic Flux that comes on through, Kelen with another one. 05:13:02.260 --> 05:13:04.740 Kinetikrash is trying to stay alive. 05:13:04.740 --> 05:13:07.660 Now Kellen gets piloted over towards the point. 05:13:07.660 --> 05:13:13.340 Mike's still gonna be good enough for Dallas Field, we've run out of ultimates, except for the self-destructing, which Ice Town probably has to use, he's not going to do it. 05:13:13.340 --> 05:13:20.660 Which says to me that VP have given this one away, the cap is all gone now, as soon as we clean up the rest of the map, it's a little slow. 05:13:20.660 --> 05:13:22.460 Fix it at once, send it with two. 05:13:22.460 --> 05:13:29.460 See if you're gonna be able to find any of these kills, now, no way, Chronic coming back on the Bastion, gonna clean it up, so... 05:13:29.460 --> 05:13:35.000 A wild first point here is let's see if you decide to stay with this Cassidy 05:13:35.000 --> 05:13:40.320 So I feel like psycho has been on the better end of the tracer head to head throughout this 05:13:40.320 --> 05:13:45.220 So now it's under going to just go over the Cassidy and just try and merely make it very difficult for psycho to put pressure 05:13:45.740 --> 05:13:47.640 Onto the backline of the Dallas fuel 05:13:47.640 --> 05:13:53.040 I mean, it's also really good in terms of just comboing with Kelly a little bit more playing together as a solid core 05:13:53.580 --> 05:13:58.860 Putting damage into the cap action that certainly helps you land those rocks to all the ice-tom can do against it 05:13:59.460 --> 05:14:02.260 I definitely hear the Bastions fighting somewhere off the map. 05:14:02.260 --> 05:14:06.820 Yeah, well, Chronic gets the better of Kev. Kev actually puts some damage down on to the 05:14:06.820 --> 05:14:10.900 Cassidy of the Dallas Fuel and not able to finish it off, even though Psycho, they're 05:14:10.900 --> 05:14:12.420 playing from that high ground. 05:14:12.420 --> 05:14:16.360 So this is going to allow Dallas Fuel to round that card around the corner without the Bastion 05:14:16.360 --> 05:14:17.360 deck. 05:14:17.360 --> 05:14:18.360 It's pretty hard for VP to fight. 05:14:18.360 --> 05:14:20.180 They are just kind of back on first point. 05:14:20.180 --> 05:14:21.860 They went to Dallas Fuel's spawn. 05:14:21.860 --> 05:14:22.860 Yeah. 05:14:22.860 --> 05:14:23.860 Dallas Fuel had to just push the payload. 05:14:23.860 --> 05:14:26.300 Okay, well, this is, there's some free time of the payload here. 05:14:26.300 --> 05:14:28.820 Well, Ice and Psycho had to be in the first spawn. 05:14:28.820 --> 05:14:30.860 They are going to be so split here, VP. 05:14:30.860 --> 05:14:33.980 You're going to lose, Vicks, you're going to lose ice here. 05:14:33.980 --> 05:14:35.380 I mean, where, where are we going? 05:14:35.380 --> 05:14:36.300 I was just going to reset. 05:14:36.300 --> 05:14:37.580 This is kind of gross from VP. 05:14:37.580 --> 05:14:40.500 They're completely off the rails in terms of their position. 05:14:40.500 --> 05:14:42.460 You don't have time to reset, dude. 05:14:42.460 --> 05:14:44.660 I mean, they're going to have to get back here and try and get a touch. 05:14:44.660 --> 05:14:46.380 I mean, the second checkpoint almost done. 05:14:46.380 --> 05:14:48.260 Ice accretion there connects on to ice moments. 05:14:48.260 --> 05:14:50.460 He's going to have to just get out in desperation. 05:14:50.460 --> 05:14:54.140 It's going to be the Katsuneit rushes yet again here to open things up. 05:14:54.140 --> 05:14:56.500 Turre 4 from Chronic putting down some damage. 05:14:56.500 --> 05:14:58.100 There's now the die coming in on Sundry. 05:14:58.100 --> 05:15:01.140 It's going to be a catnap, taking Kev for a ride. 05:15:01.140 --> 05:15:04.660 Oh, nice Tuzu there as well, keeping Chronic alive there 05:15:04.660 --> 05:15:06.900 through the pulse bomb that connects from Psycho. 05:15:06.900 --> 05:15:09.540 Those self-destruct remake flies from its only Kev's 05:15:09.540 --> 05:15:11.860 to land and won't Kev's to survive for much longer. 05:15:11.860 --> 05:15:14.260 He's going to single a trade with a Kev's. 05:15:14.260 --> 05:15:18.380 This is just a culmination of some of the mistakes from VP 05:15:18.380 --> 05:15:21.300 earlier on the B point where they're all over the map, 05:15:21.300 --> 05:15:22.620 trying to go for a spawn camp. 05:15:22.620 --> 05:15:24.380 That's a free pushing. 05:15:24.380 --> 05:15:33.340 Think of this final, last minute, kind of, uh, re-approach on the point to save it from VP, and they just fall apart all that was flying through, and now let's get the expected cap. 05:15:33.340 --> 05:15:39.760 It was ugly from Virtus.pro there, their second point defense. Obviously, they got really split and never able to kind of re-engage together. 05:15:39.760 --> 05:15:47.080 This is interesting now. Trying to play the Remontra here without the Lucio, right? Not going to have that speed to get right past that shield, and collapse onto the Sigma. 05:15:47.080 --> 05:15:49.780 It's going to be something, using a dead eye there on and off angle. 05:15:49.780 --> 05:15:54.780 I know I'm not able to get up and can test the payload as the payload is continuing to roll. 05:15:54.780 --> 05:15:58.780 I don't think Sonja got flown there. Might have been a mistake from Luke Mino. Dallas Schuylke would have done a lot more. 05:15:58.780 --> 05:16:03.780 Kelly will find a couple players who would like to kill. Surely Kev? No, nothing. 05:16:03.780 --> 05:16:11.780 No, nobody there able to finish off that kill on a Kev. Kev comes up with one as VP looks like they're finally going to get a defensive stand after all. 05:16:11.780 --> 05:16:15.780 But I mean at what cost? Dallas has looked great on offense. 05:16:15.780 --> 05:16:21.260 It's unfortunate because the Lux actually caught a couple of players with Dallasville not in position to actually get the cleanup. 05:16:21.260 --> 05:16:24.460 Good news here is they pushed a decent amount of distance. 05:16:24.460 --> 05:16:29.780 Payload's in a great spot. One fight for a round win here for a full map completion. 05:16:29.780 --> 05:16:36.580 Katrina Russia-Ventifel, CJ is the same for Landon of the Ops, and though, this is going to be another huge ultimate exchange. 05:16:36.580 --> 05:16:39.580 Yeah, VP though with a lot to work with, right? 05:16:39.580 --> 05:16:42.340 as Psycho ends up using the recall there. 05:16:42.340 --> 05:16:43.500 It gets to take a lot of damage. 05:16:43.500 --> 05:16:45.940 It's going to be CJ opening things up with the rush. 05:16:45.940 --> 05:16:47.340 As Ice and Pryce are getting aggressive, 05:16:47.340 --> 05:16:49.740 no way he's able to stay alive. 05:16:49.740 --> 05:16:50.580 Trade of a chronic. 05:16:50.580 --> 05:16:52.780 I think losing Ice might just be a little bit more impactful. 05:16:52.780 --> 05:16:54.060 Catnap's going to change the day. 05:16:54.060 --> 05:16:54.620 Get a little bit. 05:16:54.620 --> 05:16:55.700 Pulse bomb's flying in. 05:16:55.700 --> 05:16:56.580 Explosives everywhere. 05:16:56.580 --> 05:16:58.860 It's VP coming out on top. 05:16:58.860 --> 05:17:01.780 Despite Ice going down, Kevser's Psycho's the DPS line 05:17:01.780 --> 05:17:04.980 once more, but a whole steady for the rest of we had what? 05:17:04.980 --> 05:17:06.140 Four of us being played there? 05:17:06.140 --> 05:17:08.740 Yeah, that is really difficult for Ice 05:17:08.740 --> 05:17:12.520 to play into that as you know Kevin moves on forward they do deal with Kellen 05:17:12.520 --> 05:17:15.580 you lose fix of the he comes back up the spawn pretty quick but when both rushes 05:17:15.580 --> 05:17:20.200 come down ice decides to like vortex nevus's form push up but I mean he gets 05:17:20.200 --> 05:17:23.420 it with an accretion he gets it with a hinder I mean there's no way he just 05:17:23.420 --> 05:17:27.580 blows up never seen a rematch at that quick he's not from not used to going 05:17:27.580 --> 05:17:30.680 down that quick either a mantra you never seen Johnny play rematches well 05:17:30.680 --> 05:17:34.180 he doesn't use the block feature that's why yeah he's not he doesn't he's not a 05:17:34.180 --> 05:17:40.120 He just runs on in as we do see I still know now with the annihilation 05:17:40.120 --> 05:17:45.460 So see how he decides to play around this a lot obviously a lot harder without the Lucio speed 05:17:45.460 --> 05:17:49.660 I mean you could just airdrop the rematch or in with the way we're gonna get our combo 05:17:49.980 --> 05:17:53.420 Trying to find targets had to try to hide as well surely what gets that 05:17:56.300 --> 05:18:01.820 And the Susan been too early by landed beautiful stuff from Dallas field that could be the cap here 05:18:01.820 --> 05:18:03.440 So it's basically a team wipe. 05:18:03.440 --> 05:18:05.280 Psycho has a little bit of time to delay, 05:18:05.280 --> 05:18:06.820 but the payload is basically at the finish line. 05:18:06.820 --> 05:18:09.360 Yeah, I mean, you have a brief minute to delay, 05:18:09.360 --> 05:18:11.780 so Psycho can get your get-a-touch, right? 05:18:11.780 --> 05:18:14.020 And then maybe you can actually just kind of airdrop 05:18:14.020 --> 05:18:15.980 Ice-No-Min with the annihilation. 05:18:15.980 --> 05:18:18.460 It'll be the Reaper swap from Kepzher here as well, 05:18:18.460 --> 05:18:19.860 as we're below a minute on the clock. 05:18:19.860 --> 05:18:21.740 Fix it, get there, and get to touch. 05:18:21.740 --> 05:18:23.700 This will be VP with another great opportunity 05:18:23.700 --> 05:18:25.740 to get a hold. Nice accretion there from Kellen. 05:18:25.740 --> 05:18:28.180 Stops the push there from Ice-No-Min coming in right away, 05:18:28.180 --> 05:18:30.900 but no way Sundran can exit. 05:18:30.900 --> 05:18:33.980 No way to get him out of there, so they come up with a huge kill. 05:18:33.980 --> 05:18:37.140 Full respect given to the annihilation, the time has come to run out now. 05:18:37.140 --> 05:18:41.900 Dallas Fuel absolutely have the payload right up against the back wall, all Virtus.pro spawn. 05:18:42.580 --> 05:18:46.340 With 30 seconds left to play through, it's just a continue, which will be matched by landing. 05:18:46.340 --> 05:18:49.180 This is now going to be a very even fight. 05:18:49.180 --> 05:18:53.020 Dallas Fuel got a massive dead eye, but that only put the payload in the correct place. 05:18:53.020 --> 05:18:54.140 Now can they finish? 05:18:55.340 --> 05:18:57.580 16 seconds on the clock. 05:18:57.580 --> 05:19:00.700 They're going to have the continued rushes here from both sides to get things off. 05:19:00.700 --> 05:19:03.400 Yet again, Bixx is gonna use a catnap. 05:19:03.400 --> 05:19:05.800 Kellen low, looks like Kenington with Kellen there for a second, 05:19:05.800 --> 05:19:08.000 but got interrupted, it's gonna be Kepster taking out Chronic, 05:19:08.000 --> 05:19:09.400 as he goes deep. 05:19:09.400 --> 05:19:12.100 Two kills though, blowdown, Fuel make it three. 05:19:13.300 --> 05:19:17.200 They are going to clutch yet again, Avril. 05:19:18.200 --> 05:19:21.800 And they will get a nap completion here on Numbani. 05:19:21.800 --> 05:19:25.400 Sanjim showing up on a hero you're not really used to seeing him on. 05:19:25.400 --> 05:19:27.500 He's not typically known to be a hitscan player, 05:19:27.500 --> 05:19:32.380 which is discovering more and more in terms of players that are typically on the flex DPS side, 05:19:32.380 --> 05:19:36.380 you know them as Tracer players, Genji players, etc. Guys like Kevps are moving on the cast, 05:19:36.380 --> 05:19:41.980 performing, and now Sojin doing the same thing on the cast in the final fight, showing up when it 05:19:41.980 --> 05:19:46.620 matters. The 3K on the previous fight with the Jedi, well timed, not going to get baited out by the 05:19:46.620 --> 05:19:51.260 Suzu, and then the following final fight to get the job done when the tanks were starting to get 05:19:51.260 --> 05:19:56.060 low, by the way, Kelly, still surviving, was ice that went down, and that's going to give all the 05:19:56.060 --> 05:20:02.860 room that Sanjeev needs to play with. Kellen, Kellen and CJ, a really good half from those two, obviously one death 05:20:03.740 --> 05:20:09.900 from each is, now we've highlighted a few times the support line here for the Dallas fuel, so flexible, 05:20:09.900 --> 05:20:18.060 so strong, really kind of turn the tides for them in this series at moments, so it'll be Dallas now 05:20:18.060 --> 05:20:23.420 on defense, they'll come out with a Cassidy with that fashion, yet again in combination with the Sigma. 05:20:23.420 --> 05:20:29.420 Sunjoon has looked much more comfortable, I would say, on the Cassidy than trying to match that tracer. 05:20:29.420 --> 05:20:33.420 By the way, this is proving for Dallas as well that they can make this Sigma work. 05:20:33.420 --> 05:20:39.420 It's not quite the same post-composition that they were hoping for in terms of winning that on previous maps like Dorado and all that. 05:20:39.420 --> 05:20:44.420 But now you're looking at this situation where, okay, it's Kat Bash's Sigma, which I remind you about. 05:20:44.420 --> 05:20:49.420 It's kind of a little bit more niche compared to playing the D.Va, and Kellen's avoided playing the D.Va. 05:20:49.420 --> 05:20:55.420 I mean, this was the final chance to make it work. What a time to start to get this segment into its groove. 05:20:55.420 --> 05:21:05.420 They'll try and pressure here on the high ground. Maybe this watch, Kellen, from that position is, okay, now we're going to get a cat-fashioned war here on the flank. 05:21:05.420 --> 05:21:13.420 So this is what the diva allows you to do, right? Icene just kind of gets back on the flank, takes this interesting position is, Kellen's going to use a kinetic grasp here, 05:21:13.420 --> 05:21:18.240 But CJ. Yeah, I still may be fine CJ collapse on him Sunjun as well and a lot of trouble 05:21:19.000 --> 05:21:24.180 They want Sunjun down. He's very low HP. There's just no support here, but CJ gone. There's no Katsune 05:21:24.180 --> 05:21:25.420 Sorry, there's no 05:21:25.420 --> 05:21:30.780 Jericho TP to save him with Minos obviously gonna be busy taking care of telling the chronic and keeping them alive and Dallas 05:21:30.780 --> 05:21:35.420 Feels defense is falling apart. You do lose Kev and you still have chronic and Luke alive though 05:21:35.420 --> 05:21:37.820 So can you maybe come back in challenges, right? 05:21:37.820 --> 05:21:42.060 It is now, never mind the spawns, not coming in fast enough there, so you're not going 05:21:42.060 --> 05:21:43.780 to go try and contest it there on the tracer. 05:21:43.780 --> 05:21:44.940 Two squads per segment, I think. 05:21:44.940 --> 05:21:48.300 Yeah, maybe you can get there with the tracer and contest it, but the SIG would have never 05:21:48.300 --> 05:21:49.300 made it, right? 05:21:49.300 --> 05:21:51.420 So, at that point, just give it up. 05:21:51.420 --> 05:21:55.820 Seems like when you looked at the fight breakdown, Dallas will really split, CJ down first, 05:21:55.820 --> 05:21:59.420 Sanjens off to the side of the map, caught out next, then you just have to rest the 05:21:59.420 --> 05:22:00.820 players on an island by themselves. 05:22:00.820 --> 05:22:04.260 Sanjens, by the way, now, sopping over towards the tracer, so not really feeling the cast 05:22:04.260 --> 05:22:06.540 as much of the defense as you did on the offense. 05:22:06.540 --> 05:22:09.540 Turret, already burned here though for Kev. 05:22:09.540 --> 05:22:16.540 Just gonna buy them some space around the corner, maybe open up an angle here for Psycho to get on a little bit of a plank on a wrap. 05:22:16.540 --> 05:22:21.540 See, maybe both teams are ready here, Admiral, trying to play for a rush as well. 05:22:21.540 --> 05:22:24.540 The first fight kind of happens pretty well. 05:22:24.540 --> 05:22:30.540 Oh, Kev's still there! I mean, Kev just gets escorted right on top of where Ice was playing. 05:22:30.540 --> 05:22:37.500 That was really nice. I swayed in. They're used obviously the D.Va boosters who kind of get past that Sigma and then they just kind of fly Kepster in 05:22:37.860 --> 05:22:43.220 Right on top and no way they could even react completely disobeying no fly zone there 05:22:43.220 --> 05:22:47.420 It's just gonna be Kepster and fix it going over the head of Kallen dropping 05:22:47.780 --> 05:22:53.540 Damage on top of chronic and well now let's feel with Kallen completely left by his lonesome on the payload 05:22:53.540 --> 05:22:57.380 Trying to defend it by himself VP clean it off and by the way, no ultimates used 05:22:57.380 --> 05:23:04.000 It'll fly volts from the next one now an advantage on rush here for vertus pro right with how aggressive they're playing 05:23:04.000 --> 05:23:06.580 Especially kind of collapsing on the kill in an opportunity here 05:23:06.580 --> 05:23:11.740 It's gonna be killing using the accretion you see how aggressive fixer is the getting cab in a position 05:23:12.460 --> 05:23:17.480 Chronic in a really rough spot. He's gonna use that artillery strike to try and stay on him and he gets ice 05:23:19.220 --> 05:23:20.400 Sondra's got the rest of it 05:23:20.400 --> 05:23:25.220 So Dallas fuel is still gonna hold on to this one chronic pick up the first kill kill and now responding of what this own 05:23:25.220 --> 05:23:30.300 that's for holding on stabilizing, finding on the defense after also a bit of a 05:23:30.300 --> 05:23:33.300 rough one to begin with. This is the first strong defensive win. 05:23:33.300 --> 05:23:38.980 Yeah, self-destructive use there for Icemomb as for Dallas, right? You ended up 05:23:38.980 --> 05:23:43.220 using the Catnap, you don't have the Flux, and then also the artillery strike. 05:23:43.220 --> 05:23:47.340 It is a costly fight, but it was definitely one that you absolutely must 05:23:47.340 --> 05:23:52.180 have needed to win if you plan to actually kind of hold on here to this 05:23:52.180 --> 05:23:55.860 second checkpoint this Sun June in Psycho just gonna mark in each other here just 05:23:55.860 --> 05:24:01.060 and chase each other down especially with how far as VP was on the A point as 05:24:01.060 --> 05:24:03.980 well right if you want Dallas Field any chance of winning this map you want to 05:24:03.980 --> 05:24:07.060 make sure that B is a slowdown yeah you're not in position to hold ultimates 05:24:07.060 --> 05:24:13.460 there in that situation speaking of ultimates rush to rush CJ holding the 05:24:13.460 --> 05:24:17.380 hill burn Kellen is still above the rest of team but I try to draw attention away 05:24:17.380 --> 05:24:28.380 With the counter really wrong spot, Luke Amino dangerously low being chased by Ice, but Kev coming up with two uses the Turreform, puts out some damage while Sundrin coming alive here on the tracer. 05:24:28.380 --> 05:24:38.380 I'm just not sure it's going to be enough, right? I mean, if Psycho's still alive here, Ice is on him as well, if Vixen putting down some damage, it's just going to be Luke Amino here alive for the Dallas Fuel. 05:24:38.380 --> 05:24:46.380 He will fall no way, Karanik getting back in the action. So even though Sundrin was trying to go off there on the tracer, not able to get that second point hold. 05:24:46.380 --> 05:24:49.540 hold and now a lot of time for VP to complete the map. I also think 05:24:49.540 --> 05:24:52.380 positionally like it's a bit rough for Kellen because he's so far for compared 05:24:52.380 --> 05:24:54.940 to the rest of his defensive team where's Ike's thumb can push with Kevster. 05:24:54.940 --> 05:24:58.740 You see Chronic as the opening target, with Kevster pocketed, my Ike's thumb is so 05:24:58.740 --> 05:25:01.500 much easier for Kevster to get value, much harder for Chronic to do anything. 05:25:01.500 --> 05:25:05.620 Yeah Kellen already pretty low. As a Connecticut, that's going to be there. 05:25:05.620 --> 05:25:09.380 So we're here from Kev going to be able to keep himself alive, but a little bit of 05:25:09.380 --> 05:25:13.140 damage down, maybe just trying to get him around the corners. Oh CJ dies at the 05:25:13.140 --> 05:25:18.540 hands, Bob Psycho, nice Suzu there, Landon keeps Kepster up as well, that was a postbomb 05:25:18.540 --> 05:25:20.740 that connected from Tunchin, just doesn't come up with anything. 05:25:20.740 --> 05:25:25.340 Kellen on one but he fluxes, he's gonna miss it but just trying to put the fair into VP, 05:25:25.340 --> 05:25:29.340 you'll say it's a bit of an unfortunate flux, he doesn't get anything but he does push away 05:25:29.340 --> 05:25:32.820 Virtus Pro to save his own life, if Kellen dies there, it could have been problematic 05:25:32.820 --> 05:25:34.540 and now he's gone diva. 05:25:34.540 --> 05:25:39.620 Yeah really nice Suzu there from Landon, keeps Kepster alive through the postbomb and you 05:25:39.620 --> 05:25:42.140 absolutely needed his damage in that situation. 05:25:43.140 --> 05:25:46.100 Isom does have the self-destruct here to use over by the objective 05:25:46.100 --> 05:25:50.140 Kalinale going on the D.Va like you mentioned. Catnap available for both 05:25:50.540 --> 05:25:54.100 Jetpacked cats. Luke Amino uses his. It comes out with nothing. 05:25:54.620 --> 05:25:56.420 Vex is still in position to use his as well. 05:25:56.420 --> 05:25:57.460 Isos needs to live. 05:25:57.460 --> 05:26:00.340 He needs to use the self-destruct and that should be able to push my chronic on low HP. 05:26:00.340 --> 05:26:01.540 He's got to pop his own ultimate. 05:26:01.540 --> 05:26:02.980 Should have came for self-alive. 05:26:02.980 --> 05:26:07.300 One-to-one chase so far. Luke Amino respawns and Dallas trying to hold onto this as much as he can. 05:26:07.300 --> 05:26:12.300 If Landon gets a rush here, it's probably just all over. It might still be over because he's banding it to defend his life. 05:26:12.300 --> 05:26:16.820 Hey, you are so out of damage at this point, but Lukimino comes through, takes out Ketzer off the spawn. 05:26:16.820 --> 05:26:24.820 Rush Dallas trying to bite this thing. If you have the rush here, or Landon and CJ, you're going to have this spawn advantage though here for the Dallas Fuel. 05:26:24.820 --> 05:26:30.380 So VP may have just been throwing those ultimates in for nothing. Is Dallas going to hold on here for a second? 05:26:30.380 --> 05:26:36.540 They need to hold on for a lot longer as well because Vernus Pro, if they manage to get this with, I believe, above one minute 05:26:36.540 --> 05:26:40.080 It's a draw-only scenario by the way with Dallas Field, so really back against the walk-in, 05:26:40.080 --> 05:26:41.820 you do not want to be in a draw-only scenario. 05:26:41.820 --> 05:26:44.740 You want to make sure that if you're Dallas Field, you have a strong win condition. 05:26:44.740 --> 05:26:47.340 So I've destroyed the medible for Kellan now, he's got an extra life. 05:26:47.340 --> 05:26:48.840 It can't go somewhere in the top. 05:26:48.840 --> 05:26:50.840 Nice offense, nice throw. 05:26:50.840 --> 05:26:54.540 No defense matrix available, keep Chronic up, you lose CJ. 05:26:54.540 --> 05:26:56.100 Sonja has to be hero. 05:26:56.100 --> 05:27:00.440 It feels like the beginning of the end though, Avril, Pulse Bomb thrown in, nothing there. 05:27:00.440 --> 05:27:03.900 Self-destruct as well, just a matter of time here. 05:27:03.900 --> 05:27:09.460 It's a VP finish with a minute forty four on the clock. So 05:27:10.060 --> 05:27:15.100 This puts Dallas in a really rough spot, right? They got to come up huge here on the defense. Yeah, I 05:27:16.020 --> 05:27:21.420 Mean might still get a map five map, but not the one we expected of the source to a draw 05:27:22.860 --> 05:27:25.540 That's all that Dallas can hope for this stage as 05:27:28.260 --> 05:27:30.140 I mean 05:27:30.140 --> 05:27:33.900 Expected for sure to get some decent damage out of our Bastion players 05:27:33.900 --> 05:27:37.540 But I understand Sonja also put a decent amount of work in there as well 05:27:37.540 --> 05:27:43.060 It's still and I mean he sort of come alive on the tracer where he was not really looking that way moving that way throughout the 05:27:43.180 --> 05:27:46.540 You know earlier parts of the series psycho was really getting the better of him 05:27:46.540 --> 05:27:52.060 I was curious what Dallas would desire to do here on deep ends right because we did see them playing like some Cassidy 05:27:52.540 --> 05:27:56.100 With the Bastion, but it'll be the tracer yet again 05:27:56.100 --> 05:28:01.620 But more importantly, no Sigma. I think we're starting to see that maybe Sigma in the 8-point defense 05:28:01.700 --> 05:28:04.340 Just doesn't have the mobility to be active enough on the map 05:28:04.340 --> 05:28:06.780 But it feels like way more comfortable though 05:28:06.780 --> 05:28:12.420 I feel like for VP kind of playing this like mirror than it would doubt right? I mean I feel like Dallas 05:28:12.740 --> 05:28:15.220 They kind of want to play some of these Sigma styles 05:28:15.220 --> 05:28:18.660 So that was a bit of a team that don't really want to play the divas much 05:28:18.660 --> 05:28:23.620 I'm just in talent choose not to do it. He's just been wanting to place much Sigma as possible play the Winston 05:28:23.620 --> 05:28:27.420 Even when you're choosing to play Winston over diva, you know, you really just don't want to pay the diva 05:28:27.420 --> 05:28:31.980 So he's been forced into it now because that last 8 point defense for Dallas was not great pretty ugly 05:28:31.980 --> 05:28:36.580 In fact, he's split up really hard and not a lot Callan can do there in terms of being reactive 05:28:36.580 --> 05:28:42.180 He's gonna need to have all of that and then some a minute 35 to make sure even a single tick does not go through 05:28:42.180 --> 05:28:48.580 Yeah, Dallas fuel needs to be perfect here on defense to keep their champions clash tournament 05:28:48.580 --> 05:28:53.780 chances alive as Kev gets right over the top here on to the point like you 05:28:53.780 --> 05:28:59.880 mentioned it's just one tick that they're going to need so you know you 05:28:59.880 --> 05:29:04.320 can't have that here is Kellen getting dangerously low gonna get pushed off as 05:29:04.320 --> 05:29:10.040 man just like that we were talking about you know maybe diva doesn't feel as 05:29:10.040 --> 05:29:14.560 comfy there for the Dallas fuel Kellen gets D make the right away and that is 05:29:14.560 --> 05:29:23.400 is it. VP takes the series here over Dallas Fuel, keeping themselves alive. No draw today 05:29:23.400 --> 05:29:28.600 and no more hope unfortunately for North America. The first region knocked out a Champions 05:29:28.600 --> 05:29:34.840 Clash, SSG gone yesterday, Dallas Fuel gone today and for EMEA still going from straight 05:29:34.840 --> 05:29:40.040 to straight both their teams in it to win it with the Virtus Prove. A pretty competitive 05:29:40.040 --> 05:29:44.100 game versus Zeta to now a more, I would say, comfortable win. 05:29:44.100 --> 05:29:46.400 But certainly an easy game for them against Dallas. 05:29:46.400 --> 05:29:50.100 Then the game against Zeta division was still props to Dallas. 05:29:50.240 --> 05:29:51.740 They did get that one map in there. 05:29:51.740 --> 05:29:54.700 They saw full captain and body of forces one to a time back. 05:29:55.840 --> 05:29:58.400 I know I thought VP obviously really strong performance. 05:29:58.400 --> 05:30:01.840 I think especially playing those matches back to back, pretty grueling, 05:30:01.840 --> 05:30:04.640 especially with how competitive the Zeta series was. 05:30:05.140 --> 05:30:08.860 And then now here against Dallas and I think for Dallas, 05:30:08.860 --> 05:30:15.600 you know just kind of put a wrap on their tournament right as we take a look at some of the stats look I think the backline obviously a 05:30:15.600 --> 05:30:19.000 Strength I think maybe in terms of like a hero pool this 05:30:19.440 --> 05:30:21.800 Didn't really break in terms and Kellen's favor 05:30:21.800 --> 05:30:27.620 But I think a lot of bright signs for this North American team for the future. Yeah, certainly had some good spots in there 05:30:27.620 --> 05:30:29.620 I mean go back to the 05:30:29.980 --> 05:30:33.320 Dorado map I thought was quite a obviously they won that map too 05:30:33.320 --> 05:30:35.980 But what they were able to show in terms of punishing BP's mistakes 05:30:35.980 --> 05:30:38.100 Me if you showing some mistakes there as well 05:30:38.100 --> 05:30:43.060 There's just that you know, this is a team that I saw capable of not having a hundred percent clean games and Dallas feel 05:30:43.060 --> 05:30:48.660 They need to be in positions to be to fully punish VP away and win on some unconventional cups 05:30:48.660 --> 05:30:52.340 I mean they won that map playing a Winston. Yeah, Greg Anna, which is not 05:30:52.700 --> 05:30:58.460 You'll commonly see anymore in 2026. No, not a comp that we see very often 05:30:58.460 --> 05:31:01.900 But Virtus Pro obviously advancing through our bracket 05:31:01.900 --> 05:31:05.820 Let's take a look at the bracket kind of see where everything lays now right where we saw 05:31:05.820 --> 05:31:12.640 CR and Zeta division really kind of mark their spots in the upper half of the bracket going to our winners finals 05:31:12.640 --> 05:31:17.300 And then now here in our lower bracket as we kind of bring it up VP 05:31:17.300 --> 05:31:19.060 They get by the Dallas fuel here 05:31:19.060 --> 05:31:24.980 They set themselves up for another match right there like three matches today a really long day for vertus pro 05:31:25.140 --> 05:31:30.020 Against the winner of TM versus Waybo, which is either a VP way by rematch from day one 05:31:30.020 --> 05:31:33.940 Oh, it's gonna be an old in the a showdown when one in your team has to go home 05:31:33.940 --> 05:31:41.540 That is true and I think that would be you know, I think if you ask VP they probably would want to play twisted minds get revenge on them 05:31:41.700 --> 05:31:45.780 As they have really kind of had their number throughout stage one in EMEA 05:31:45.780 --> 05:31:48.440 Let's go to the stage with a land of note. Here's thoughts on that game 05:31:56.580 --> 05:31:58.580 So, I'm gonna 05:31:58.580 --> 05:32:02.840 I'd like to talk about the game this time. 05:32:03.060 --> 05:32:05.760 The match for KUSHI was really tight, 05:32:05.800 --> 05:32:09.620 but where is the advantage or the advantage? 05:32:09.920 --> 05:32:12.320 So looking back at this match, you did win 3-1, 05:32:12.360 --> 05:32:14.020 but it definitely seems pretty close. 05:32:14.060 --> 05:32:15.640 A lot of really close fights throughout. 05:32:15.680 --> 05:32:18.000 What do you think was the key to your success versus Alice? 05:32:19.900 --> 05:32:23.620 To be honest, I think both of our teams had a pretty similar game plan. 05:32:23.940 --> 05:32:25.720 We just clutched and we needed to clutch. 05:32:25.720 --> 05:32:35.220 Like I think most universes out there, I think we lose that map one and maybe like that map four slips away from us, but today it didn't you know, like we just clutched up. 05:32:55.720 --> 05:33:02.120 But today, we were able to win by doing what we wanted to do. 05:33:04.440 --> 05:33:11.200 Next, I think Asia has been really focused on this. 05:33:11.200 --> 05:33:16.000 But the only pro player who got the first map, 05:33:16.000 --> 05:33:18.800 what's the reason for that difference? 05:33:19.240 --> 05:33:25.360 So right now, Virtus.pro is the only team that's been able to take a map off of the two Korean teams 05:33:25.360 --> 05:33:30.400 from the Asian Division. What do you think is that difference that lets you do what the other 05:33:30.400 --> 05:33:37.120 Western teams and even Twisted Mind weren't able to? Right now, Zeta, I mean obviously Zeta are a 05:33:37.120 --> 05:33:41.200 strong team, but like our team has everything we need to beat them, you know? I don't think there's 05:33:41.200 --> 05:33:45.920 any one specific thing. We've just got five good players, we got a good coach, and we believe in 05:33:45.920 --> 05:33:49.440 each other. So you think if you match them again you can beat them? I'll take three or four maps, 05:33:49.440 --> 05:33:51.440 I want to beat them 05:34:19.440 --> 05:34:26.840 I think the next match will be the winner of the Weibo Gaming or Twisted Mind. 05:34:26.840 --> 05:34:29.040 Which one do you want to be? 05:34:29.040 --> 05:34:31.640 And one last thing, please. 05:34:49.440 --> 05:34:52.640 classic EMEA rematch, but I want to win this time. 05:35:19.440 --> 05:35:26.400 back to the casters. Thank you so much. I love Landon. I mean his interviews are 05:35:26.400 --> 05:35:30.280 always great. We take a look at our brackets. So CRZ they're done for the 05:35:30.280 --> 05:35:34.080 day. We really focusing on this lower bracket average to round out the day. 05:35:34.080 --> 05:35:39.640 Do you agree with Landon's assessment that that's gonna be a 3-0 TM? Well first of all 05:35:39.640 --> 05:35:43.000 Landon's always got great things to say about Weibo as we remember. That's true. 05:35:43.000 --> 05:35:47.640 Beyond that I think TM are probably the more likely team just given that they 05:35:47.640 --> 05:35:53.400 You know the competitive pedigree defending world champions, but they've looked kind of like a little bit off this tournament 05:35:53.400 --> 05:35:57.200 They're previous games have been like not the best so they look shaky 05:35:57.200 --> 05:36:00.560 I think actually VP look better in twisted minds. I think this next game could be close 05:36:00.560 --> 05:36:04.360 I don't think it'll be 3-0. I'm not willing to say that but I think that team should have the advantage 05:36:04.400 --> 05:36:08.480 No, I think it'll be a really competitive game with you know twisted minds 05:36:08.480 --> 05:36:13.400 I don't think they know with obviously being the world champions and then obviously really kind of running through EMEA 05:36:13.400 --> 05:36:19.320 I don't think they're gonna go out that easy right and I kind of I'm I'm excited for the last match of the day regardless 05:36:19.320 --> 05:36:25.360 Foul shakes up right you get a weibo versus VP rematch or you get a TM versus VP game 05:36:25.640 --> 05:36:32.080 Battle of best in EMEA, but we got a game to decide here before that final game of the day 05:36:32.080 --> 05:36:37.820 We'll see who ends up playing VP. They'll be either twisted minds or weibo will have that coming up right after this break 05:37:13.400 --> 05:37:29.360 Start your climb to OWCS with FACED LEAGUE. 05:37:29.360 --> 05:37:34.000 Compete for $50,000 every season to sustain your team's competitive journey. 05:37:34.000 --> 05:37:38.200 Progress through skilled balanced divisions until you hit the Master Finals broadcast 05:37:38.200 --> 05:37:40.480 and get scouted by the best teams. 05:37:40.480 --> 05:37:47.480 Climb to OWCS starts here.

I mean you guys called it alright VP, 05:40:05.520 --> 05:40:10.240 they do that one. I thought it was very interesting to hear in that post-match interview here as well 05:40:10.240 --> 05:40:16.000 that they had similar ideas but it was VP clutching it out and what I think is extra interesting 05:40:16.000 --> 05:40:21.760 about that is I assume they're going to be tired. They played such a close and such a close series 05:40:21.760 --> 05:40:27.200 already earlier right before that and they're heading into the lower bracket high stakes match 05:40:27.200 --> 05:40:32.960 and then at the initially right on control it did look like they they kind of steam like 05:40:33.600 --> 05:40:38.080 and then suddenly they brought it back in a way but for these players too right it's that adrenaline 05:40:38.080 --> 05:40:42.320 when they're on the stage when they're in the server and I think VP definitely brought that as 05:40:42.320 --> 05:40:44.460 as the series was going on. 05:40:44.460 --> 05:40:47.500 They think that we expected it to be a little bit closer, 05:40:47.500 --> 05:40:49.260 maybe even going to all five maps, 05:40:49.260 --> 05:40:52.020 but I think it really came down to a lot of what we talked 05:40:52.020 --> 05:40:54.900 about, that hero pool between these two tanks, Ice, 05:40:54.900 --> 05:40:56.220 being able to play that D.Va, 05:40:56.220 --> 05:40:59.040 and the Zarya very comfortably throughout this series. 05:40:59.040 --> 05:41:01.020 Meanwhile, for Kellen, we talked about some of those 05:41:01.020 --> 05:41:03.220 weaknesses, he is that Winston Sigma player. 05:41:03.220 --> 05:41:05.860 They did pick into it for D.F., you know, 05:41:05.860 --> 05:41:08.740 that new body working well for the Sigma there as well. 05:41:08.740 --> 05:41:12.100 But I think when you're thinking about that cat fashion meta, 05:41:12.100 --> 05:41:14.640 Ice's hero pool just worked so much better. 05:41:14.640 --> 05:41:18.740 I mean, New Junk City as well, but it's far undefeated on this map site, but what I really 05:41:18.740 --> 05:41:23.300 want to talk about is Psycho's Tracer had a light, I performed this with him yesterday, 05:41:23.300 --> 05:41:27.700 Khaestron Khaestor was looking, but Psycho, especially on Dorado, had some really clutch 05:41:27.700 --> 05:41:28.700 bombers. 05:41:28.700 --> 05:41:32.540 Like, the Kastor's talks about Pulse Bomb being able to interfere with CJ's Nanogu's 05:41:32.540 --> 05:41:36.460 timing so you don't get to line it up with the blade, but he was also pulling off some 05:41:36.460 --> 05:41:40.980 really good picks against like Chronic on the Widow, where he had an absolute insane 05:41:40.980 --> 05:41:45.040 one versus one against Chronic, he goes, catches him on the low ground, forces him to have 05:41:45.040 --> 05:41:49.400 to grapple up, uses the recoil to reposition him to the high ground, double blink across 05:41:49.400 --> 05:41:50.400 and take the widow down. 05:41:50.400 --> 05:41:51.400 It was really crazy. 05:41:51.400 --> 05:41:52.400 It really was. 05:41:52.400 --> 05:41:55.440 And I think on an individual level, it's not just Psycho, which we just saw stepping 05:41:55.440 --> 05:41:58.960 it up on the tracer in this match, it's been fixed on the last series as well, looking 05:41:58.960 --> 05:41:59.960 so much better. 05:41:59.960 --> 05:42:04.000 Earlier on, a little more shaky in this tournament, and Aisland as well, had a few maps, a few 05:42:04.000 --> 05:42:08.440 moments where they're like, oh, this doesn't look as good, not what we want to see. 05:42:08.440 --> 05:42:13.440 And then suddenly they're stepping it up. Kevster obviously yesterday having a lifetime performance. 05:42:13.440 --> 05:42:23.440 So yeah, it's just each and every single one is stepping up when it's needed the most and thus VP continued their run here at the Champions' Clash. 05:42:23.440 --> 05:42:31.440 I'm so excited to see them again a little later today. Yes, that's right. They have to play three first to three series today, which is absolutely nuts. 05:42:31.440 --> 05:42:35.440 I hope they're fueling up in the back with some bananas. I don't know what else the game was eating. 05:42:35.440 --> 05:42:42.120 Yeah, let's talk about our second match here in the lower bracket. It's gonna be twisted minds going up against a waybo 05:42:42.120 --> 05:42:44.920 We've seen a little bit from both of these teams already 05:42:44.920 --> 05:42:50.080 So the big question is what have we learned about these teams and how do we feel they stacking up? 05:42:50.080 --> 05:42:56.200 I think what's interesting about this storyline for these two teams is that twisted minds are still going in as the favorite 05:42:56.200 --> 05:43:04.000 I think there were a lot of expectations for TM going into this tournament with the fact that they were defending back to back major events 05:43:04.000 --> 05:43:09.180 I think though we've seen twisted minds shaky even in the all-gamer's matchup 05:43:09.180 --> 05:43:12.980 They weren't looking that great on the cap fashion. They did make adjustments going up against crazy reckons 05:43:12.980 --> 05:43:20.760 It did look better for them, but it they still haven't found their footing in this meta moxie meanwhile for the side of 05:43:21.240 --> 05:43:25.620 Weibo gaming it's been that different story that underdog team coming in from China 05:43:25.620 --> 05:43:32.200 We've seen crazy improvements honestly day for day and it feels like when it comes down to these adaptations on game 05:43:32.200 --> 05:43:37.360 They've had that edge up. I mean, yeah, like you said Twisted Minds the expectation was there for them 05:43:37.360 --> 05:43:43.800 But they haven't really met them. Wave-O though everyone was underestimating them as a team and they're excelling 05:43:43.960 --> 05:43:47.620 They're outperforming the expectation. I think a huge part of it honestly 05:43:47.620 --> 05:43:53.020 We're not talking about like the Overwatch League players who already have that experience. It's the newcomers. It's the new blood 05:43:53.020 --> 05:43:58.600 We've got Sunzo. We've got Lee Sum and these players who didn't really get that opportunity to be able to punch up into the tier 1 level 05:43:58.600 --> 05:44:04.520 level back in the old circuits, but they're really getting to just generate, incubate 05:44:04.520 --> 05:44:09.400 this talent because Lee Soo Min actually comes from a dynasty. We had a team called 05:44:09.400 --> 05:44:14.080 Wei and we talk about Wei so often when we're looking at like, you know, Sun Jin, he was 05:44:14.080 --> 05:44:19.880 on it for a little bit of time, we had Huayu, Top Dragon as well, and Miel Garu who's now 05:44:19.880 --> 05:44:25.360 playing for Zeta Division, but Lee Soo Min was the Lucio for Wei back in 2025, so you 05:44:25.360 --> 05:44:28.940 You can see that this team is actually starting to generate a lot of powerhouse talent. 05:44:28.940 --> 05:44:33.120 It's really impressive how Sunzo and Lee Soo Min have just become these playmakers for Weibo 05:44:33.120 --> 05:44:37.480 gaming, but they still definitely have quite the tall hill to battle up on. 05:44:37.480 --> 05:44:39.600 I always love those incubation team stories. 05:44:39.600 --> 05:44:42.760 We have so many in Odawee CS, really. 05:44:42.760 --> 05:44:47.200 There's so many teams who find the talent, nourish the talent, and then the talent goes 05:44:47.200 --> 05:44:49.000 to a really successful team. 05:44:49.000 --> 05:44:50.000 So I'm lucky. 05:44:50.000 --> 05:44:53.400 But it's great to see them on this stage, let's see what they can do today in this very 05:44:53.400 --> 05:44:54.400 match. 05:44:54.400 --> 05:44:58.200 chat predictions because we've done so well with predictions here on this 05:44:58.200 --> 05:45:04.540 this tournament actually kind of crazy. I think you mean we've done so well as a 05:45:04.540 --> 05:45:09.280 general statement some people have definitely nailed it other people have 05:45:09.280 --> 05:45:15.040 swung a hammer and it went places you know and it do be like that. Gotta be real 05:45:15.040 --> 05:45:18.560 for this first prediction I cannot remember what I predicted so I gotta 05:45:18.560 --> 05:45:22.200 wait until the graphic comes out and then it's gonna be a surprise to me what 05:45:22.200 --> 05:45:27.400 past so we obviously have picked twist of minds again because I'm a rider guy. What could I say? 05:45:28.200 --> 05:45:31.800 Hey, valid, valid. You know who else is a rider guy? 05:45:31.800 --> 05:45:36.040 Yeah, I gotta be way because I'm still a very tiny type of my life, guys. 05:45:36.840 --> 05:45:40.120 The haters out there are definitely gonna come for me for this prediction. 05:45:40.120 --> 05:45:41.640 Oh, they're dangerous. 05:45:41.640 --> 05:45:46.120 But again, I've been so impressed with Sunzo and with Lee Suman. I think it's gonna be really 05:45:46.120 --> 05:45:50.280 interesting. I also think that we have that conversation in the green room, Moxie, about 05:45:50.280 --> 05:45:54.760 how twisted minds haven't really had to do some sort of lower bracket run. They do have experience 05:45:54.760 --> 05:46:01.640 and veteransy on that team. It should be something that they can, you know, push through. But I wonder 05:46:01.640 --> 05:46:05.240 if it kind of weighs on their mind a little bit with all the excitation pressure on their shoulders. 05:46:05.240 --> 05:46:09.080 Yeah, there's going to be stress. There's going to be pressure for sure. They're not accustomed to 05:46:09.080 --> 05:46:13.560 being in the lower bracket. Like when we actually saw them in the EMEA group stages, they were barely 05:46:13.560 --> 05:46:16.600 dropping maps. In fact, we were sort of coming in with the expectation they might be able to 05:46:16.600 --> 05:46:20.440 to Golden Stage, they started dropping some of those maps against like Virtus Pro, who 05:46:20.440 --> 05:46:25.080 pulled out a very cheesy composition where they basically ran Vendetta Tracer, and you 05:46:25.080 --> 05:46:28.800 could argue like, okay, Twist and Lent went ready for that composition, for their back 05:46:28.800 --> 05:46:33.400 lines to be as bullied as they were. They don't have the same excuse coming into this 05:46:33.400 --> 05:46:37.040 matchup where it was a case of like, are they going to look weak against the Bastion Cat? 05:46:37.040 --> 05:46:41.120 It's not just the Bastion Cat that they've been looking weak against, which does mean 05:46:41.120 --> 05:46:44.560 that Waco's looking pretty strong in terms of this matchup too, because they haven't 05:46:44.560 --> 05:46:48.440 been overly reliant on it, but I still pick Twisted Minds, you know. 05:46:48.440 --> 05:46:56.240 I come from a very long line of getting to see Twisted Minds like at the top, both from 05:46:56.240 --> 05:47:00.740 tier two and now in tier one, it's been an absolute joy to get to like a witness. 05:47:00.740 --> 05:47:04.880 This team go from punching into tier two, managing to walk away with the World Cup win 05:47:04.880 --> 05:47:10.000 all the way back in what, 2023, and now just being able to dominate the tier one scene. 05:47:10.000 --> 05:47:11.800 But that was a very different matter. 05:47:11.800 --> 05:47:15.800 That was where they could just like, rely very heavily on pumping the resources out into the DPS. 05:47:15.800 --> 05:47:20.300 So now, they're in a matter of where they have to look away from just the DPS being those carries. 05:47:20.300 --> 05:47:26.300 Well, that's going to be an interesting game for sure. Perhaps even a clash of styles we're about to find out on this stage. 05:47:26.300 --> 05:47:31.800 So once again, we're heading into a very quick break. And when we're back, we're going to bring our teams out to get up with Tygo. 05:47:33.800 --> 05:47:40.300 What's up everybody? Danny Lim here. I'm here to catch up with Goosey and leave in Japan. Hi guys. Hello. See you. Hello. 05:47:40.300 --> 05:47:41.500 Hello, hi. 05:47:41.500 --> 05:47:45.300 So, what has been your favorite part of the trip so far? 05:47:45.300 --> 05:47:48.300 I think my favorite part of the trip is... 05:47:48.300 --> 05:47:51.000 when I arrived in Japan, I was eating ramen for the first time. 05:47:51.000 --> 05:47:52.100 Because I really like ramen. 05:47:52.100 --> 05:47:54.600 The second question is about your favorite food. 05:47:54.600 --> 05:47:56.600 You said your favorite food was ramen. 05:47:56.600 --> 05:47:57.900 What was your favorite ramen? 05:47:57.900 --> 05:47:59.800 Where did you have that ramen? 05:47:59.800 --> 05:48:03.400 I had ramen in the restaurant called Yiran Ramen. 05:48:03.400 --> 05:48:04.400 It turns into a good choice. 05:48:04.400 --> 05:48:05.400 How about you, Lee? 05:48:05.400 --> 05:48:06.600 Yeah. 05:48:06.600 --> 05:48:08.100 Same! 05:48:08.100 --> 05:48:09.500 Same! Okay! 05:48:09.500 --> 05:48:14.460 One more thing for you guys, what's one thing you guys always bring on your flight? 05:48:39.500 --> 05:48:41.560 you 05:49:09.500 --> 05:49:11.560 you 05:49:39.500 --> 05:49:41.560 you 05:50:09.500 --> 05:50:11.560 you 05:50:39.500 --> 05:50:41.560 you 05:51:09.500 --> 05:51:11.560 you 05:51:39.500 --> 05:51:41.560 you 05:52:09.500 --> 05:52:11.560 you 05:52:39.500 --> 05:52:41.560 you 05:53:09.500 --> 05:53:11.560 you 05:53:39.500 --> 05:53:41.560 you 05:54:09.500 --> 05:54:24.140 You're waiting for them to level up to level 4, but they're still at level 3, they've been 05:54:24.140 --> 05:54:27.860 at level 3 for like the past year or so that they haven't quite been able to hit their 05:54:27.860 --> 05:54:32.940 stride internationally, but they're still so formidable especially when you go to these 05:54:32.940 --> 05:54:37.100 Lucio-Kirco kind of compositions and try to do his thing on the soldier and what have 05:54:37.100 --> 05:54:38.100 you. 05:54:38.100 --> 05:54:43.100 Twisted Minds, yes, they come into this one as the EMEA number one seed, but you still get to put some respect away from gaming. 05:54:43.100 --> 05:54:49.100 Put some respect on the cat's name, and put some respect on the cat's name too!

We have a fan actually that has one of the signs which was quite cool 05:55:43.300 --> 05:55:48.920 Sun so though looking really good right in the art of war part 2 Johnny's been looking fantastic on the tango 05:55:48.920 --> 05:55:52.800 Yeah, it's a good addition to this team. Obviously. They needed a bit more off 05:55:53.300 --> 05:56:00.460 tradition off-tank player to round out Gushui's hero pool and Sun so formerly formerly Billy Deng has stepped into that role and done 05:56:00.460 --> 05:56:04.520 a good job at this tournament so far for away gaming so we'll see how much 05:56:04.520 --> 05:56:08.200 playtime is going to get here as twisted minds they're going to I believe 05:56:08.200 --> 05:56:11.800 twisted minds are going to take us actually here to wait us yeah that was 05:56:11.800 --> 05:56:15.520 there Matt pick and they get the band first of the cat I like the response 05:56:15.520 --> 05:56:19.600 here from Waybo though banning out the Cassidy but my problem kind of lies 05:56:19.600 --> 05:56:24.040 with going later into this match elimination game once again this 05:56:24.040 --> 05:56:27.360 where we're getting all the lower back at Warriors at the international 05:56:27.360 --> 05:56:31.120 competition, can they, like you said Johnny, and after you put it, can they actually just 05:56:31.120 --> 05:56:32.320 make it further here? 05:56:32.320 --> 05:56:34.040 Twisted Minds are for the world champs. 05:56:34.040 --> 05:56:37.520 You're not expecting them to be this far down, so early on. 05:56:37.520 --> 05:56:40.680 It's going to be really interesting to see what kind of compositions we see here, because 05:56:40.680 --> 05:56:44.240 maybe we just have a gentleman's agreement, who's your period? 05:56:44.240 --> 05:56:46.720 Hey, back to the good old days. 05:56:46.720 --> 05:56:50.240 I mean, I think Astro would love some of that. 05:56:50.240 --> 05:56:51.240 And simple two. 05:56:51.240 --> 05:56:55.800 J-Woo too has been such a level after the team. 05:56:55.800 --> 05:56:59.800 has obviously popped off at bootcamp. 05:57:06.800 --> 05:57:13.800 Oh, TVNT looking Zarya? Sanzo Zarya as well? What do you think of Zarya right now in the meta? 05:57:13.800 --> 05:57:19.800 I mean, Zarya is just a really good, well-rounded hero. So I'd like to fight if we're seeing some Zarya play. 05:57:19.800 --> 05:57:24.800 We ice-knot popped off on Zarya earlier today, and we've seen a couple of teams default to Zarya when perhaps 05:57:24.800 --> 05:57:28.120 You don't feel as comfortable playing something like a diva. 05:57:28.120 --> 05:57:31.280 It's just a stable default character to roll out with. 05:57:32.620 --> 05:57:33.620 And you're in 526. 05:57:33.620 --> 05:57:35.420 This is a hitscan matchup. 05:57:35.420 --> 05:57:39.960 I want to be shy versus quartz through the best soju players to take the game. 05:57:39.960 --> 05:57:42.120 And oh-ho, soju shuts him down. 05:57:42.120 --> 05:57:43.760 That was such a close boot from Buddy Astro. 05:57:43.760 --> 05:57:45.460 They almost get soju off of the map. 05:57:45.460 --> 05:57:47.720 But it is all the sorrys right now. 05:57:47.720 --> 05:57:48.360 Hitscans. 05:57:48.360 --> 05:57:51.000 No way to be a cap, but Astro gets his mark. 05:57:51.000 --> 05:57:51.960 At least he's in there. 05:57:51.960 --> 05:57:52.800 He was Astro. 05:57:52.800 --> 05:57:55.120 I mean, it's just trade on trade on trade on trade bro. 05:57:55.120 --> 05:57:56.640 Looks like a trading card convention. 05:57:56.640 --> 05:57:59.040 Hey, J.Woo, picking up two fries himself as well, 05:57:59.040 --> 05:58:01.680 and it's going to be twisted mines, closing things out here. 05:58:01.680 --> 05:58:04.240 I mean, this is just, I'm just leaning back. 05:58:04.240 --> 05:58:07.280 This is going to be an absolute cinematic series here. 05:58:07.280 --> 05:58:10.240 If these two teams are just willing to lock in these five heroes. 05:58:10.240 --> 05:58:12.400 Shia, Lee versus Quartz and J.Woo. 05:58:14.080 --> 05:58:15.520 We'll see if we do get some... 05:58:16.000 --> 05:58:18.000 Oh, no! 05:58:19.520 --> 05:58:20.800 Just when I was comfortable. 05:58:20.800 --> 05:58:21.520 All set up. 05:58:21.520 --> 05:58:27.520 They all sit down, Johnny sat down, he got onto my height, sat down, and we was ready to rock and roll. 05:58:28.800 --> 05:58:32.800 I was just straight enjoying that first teamfight, that's a bit of an appetizer, 05:58:32.800 --> 05:58:36.560 a bit of a crumble for the rest of this series, whether it's as to what for us. 05:58:36.560 --> 05:58:41.040 Because again, Wable Gaming, when they get to play these kind of compositions, 05:58:41.040 --> 05:58:46.480 they're still one of the best teams. Remember last year, they took a couple of maps of team 05:58:46.480 --> 05:58:51.360 Falcons, for example, they were really competitive, they just couldn't get off over that hurdle. 05:58:51.520 --> 05:58:58.160 So when things stay, you know, pretty simple. No Symmetra, Syranagans, no Jetpack, Kat Bastian. 05:58:58.240 --> 05:59:05.120 That's when this team really shines. And so, facing off in a mirror like this, I do think that Waybo gaming, they're going to be quite comfortable. 05:59:06.600 --> 05:59:09.120 Yeah, they'll definitely be open, so... 05:59:10.760 --> 05:59:14.600 A lot of the Chinese fans too have flown out to watch Waybo and all the gamers. 05:59:14.600 --> 05:59:15.840 There's so many cheers here, yeah. 05:59:15.840 --> 05:59:17.640 Yeah, a lot of chance. 05:59:17.640 --> 05:59:22.440 Everywhere in the world, to be fair, Toronto 2023, I think Park had so much support, obviously a lot 05:59:22.440 --> 05:59:26.440 I mean, there's still 100 spots, 30s, very easy to pick out, of course, being pink 05:59:27.440 --> 05:59:29.940 Yeah, they got travelling support wherever they go in the world 05:59:29.940 --> 05:59:31.440 Yeah, exactly, exactly 05:59:31.440 --> 05:59:34.440 A lot of them showed up to the mid-season last year as well 05:59:34.440 --> 05:59:35.140 Yeah, I'm telling you 05:59:35.140 --> 05:59:38.340 Here we go, I'm paused, okay, we're back in, 11% 05:59:38.340 --> 05:59:40.440 TBNT keeps shy though, good start 05:59:41.640 --> 05:59:45.440 Standard after pause, frags, you're falling in, you're like, wait, where am I? 05:59:45.440 --> 05:59:50.440 TVNT, guess another 2 there to really secure the second teamfight here for just a month. 05:59:50.440 --> 05:59:52.440 Nice animation, Katz with that from J.W.I.T. 05:59:52.440 --> 05:59:54.440 Good stuff. Alright, TVNT. 05:59:55.440 --> 05:59:58.440 I mean, TVNT has been fantastic so far this tournament. 05:59:58.440 --> 06:00:02.440 We talked about it, Steve, when they were playing those get back Katz kind of compositions, 06:00:02.440 --> 06:00:09.440 but now here on Desire, left an impression early on here on Oasis, as we're kicking off this lower bracket series. 06:00:09.440 --> 06:00:13.440 He waved the game in here, he tried to generate some of these ultimates. 06:00:13.440 --> 06:00:19.040 You can't let the round get too far away from you. 43% of the Cali and Quirk appears in another headshot. 06:00:19.040 --> 06:00:23.340 Twisted mines are generating so much percentage for free here, essentially. 06:00:23.340 --> 06:00:28.440 So much free value generated by Quartz just landing a heady rail. 06:00:28.440 --> 06:00:31.440 And look now, TVNT, he's pretty close to this grab. 06:00:31.440 --> 06:00:35.440 We've got a rush online as well with Twisted Mines, but that is some revenge. 06:00:35.440 --> 06:00:37.440 That's self-called. 06:00:37.440 --> 06:00:42.440 That's nice as well because you don't have to use one of these big ultimates to just try to get some ground. 06:00:42.440 --> 06:00:45.200 We can secure this point, we can work this point to drop. 06:00:45.200 --> 06:00:49.040 Sundo's gonna be rather careful, Wamba will still have left in the tank, no TVNT ends up throwing out that grab. 06:00:49.040 --> 06:00:51.040 Big hit, four people as well! 06:00:51.040 --> 06:00:54.800 But the Suu-Zu is just golden for Maka. 06:00:54.800 --> 06:01:01.000 Hit four of them as the damage rolls in. Unbelievable! 06:01:01.000 --> 06:01:03.240 Big ultimate traits back and forth. 06:01:03.240 --> 06:01:11.920 Funny Astro, no sound barrier available there as well, and so Lisa Min now has that sound barrier advantage for his team. 06:01:11.920 --> 06:01:13.120 That's not an adax, right? 06:01:13.120 --> 06:01:14.920 That's not an adax? 06:01:14.920 --> 06:01:15.760 Hey, no way. 06:01:17.820 --> 06:01:18.960 That's all there is, though. 06:01:18.960 --> 06:01:21.000 So I was looking at the marker. 06:01:22.040 --> 06:01:23.360 Hell, Barak on line. 06:01:23.360 --> 06:01:25.320 They're gonna rip this overclock, though. 06:01:25.320 --> 06:01:27.160 Horses now moving in, but Shai's gonna try and match. 06:01:27.160 --> 06:01:28.720 Shai's very low, though. 06:01:28.720 --> 06:01:30.800 He's taking up like TVNT again. 06:01:30.800 --> 06:01:33.320 Bane of any TPS player, TVNT. 06:01:33.320 --> 06:01:34.320 He's a large one himself. 06:01:34.320 --> 06:01:37.120 I mean, Zarya, 100 energy, you're just farming people. 06:01:37.120 --> 06:01:38.440 Look at this. 06:01:38.440 --> 06:01:40.480 Larging in charge right now in that front line. 06:01:40.480 --> 06:01:42.480 Sonzo cannot say the same now 06:01:43.000 --> 06:01:46.120 Quartz putting a couple down that fight. How did they fight back in that one? I don't know. 06:01:46.480 --> 06:01:48.480 He felt the size of him like Wave or Gaming 06:01:49.000 --> 06:01:53.280 We're off to a great start there but Twisted Minds fight their way back 80% in counting here on Wave or Gaming 06:01:53.280 --> 06:01:55.280 They don't have any ultimates here now 06:01:55.280 --> 06:02:01.480 They need someone like Shai to step up again early pick and TVAT is just so full of energy all the time 06:02:01.480 --> 06:02:05.760 They're not backing up, but he's just so he's just so accurate on these corners 06:02:05.760 --> 06:02:08.640 I mean they're not way more than expecting maybe him to play so far up 06:02:08.640 --> 06:02:15.640 Going to push up here, force the teleport from Simple, going to force the rest of Twist and Mind's back. 06:02:15.640 --> 06:02:17.640 Might be looking at the buildings, could turn on Nerva. 06:02:17.640 --> 06:02:23.640 Alright, what a base. It really feels like Quartz and TvNT are taking it in turns to carry right now. 06:02:23.640 --> 06:02:28.640 TvNT though ends up playing down as Leev gets still on the tracer. Simple also falls. 06:02:28.640 --> 06:02:32.640 So it's J-Woo Quartz and Funny Astro trying to salvage this fight, but Leev gets another. 06:02:32.640 --> 06:02:35.640 Alright, okay. Another one? 06:02:35.640 --> 06:02:41.640 This is what he can still do in 20-26. We're still going. 06:02:41.640 --> 06:02:45.640 Leave picking up a couple of frags there to even out the fight. 06:02:45.640 --> 06:02:48.640 And Wayberg gaming stay alive here on the very first round. 06:02:48.640 --> 06:02:51.640 And that allows them to build these crucial ultimates as well now. 06:02:51.640 --> 06:02:55.640 Mr. Mines and Wayberg gaming both with Kitsumrosh at their disposal. 06:02:55.640 --> 06:02:58.640 They try and rush onto the point first. Very early Suzy uses without a comment. 06:02:58.640 --> 06:03:01.640 Pinch of the moment, SunZoo. No bubbles left and TVSE is just going to chase him down. 06:03:01.640 --> 06:03:08.120 chase him down. So he ends up getting right quick. He can't do anything. He's trying so desperately hard 06:03:08.120 --> 06:03:15.240 to boost the envelope. The way Blue Gaming just zipped it up. I mean, Twisted Minds got ran over there. 06:03:15.800 --> 06:03:21.480 Yes, on to a fantastic Graviton search as well. Really securing a lot of value in the middle of 06:03:21.480 --> 06:03:27.960 these fights. And I pick up to J.Woo at 82% need J.Woo to touch the point there. Funny 06:03:27.960 --> 06:03:31.200 On the Astros, getting close to the Sunbear, he has a grab as well. 06:03:32.200 --> 06:03:35.600 He needs to hit a big one here, does TVNT. Needs to catch this frontline. 06:03:35.600 --> 06:03:39.720 He's going to throw it in, he can't just collect the Zarya, but there's a lot of support coming in. 06:03:40.320 --> 06:03:42.320 Nice focus flyer from Twisted Minds. 06:03:42.680 --> 06:03:44.680 Two players in there, assist feed as well. 06:03:44.680 --> 06:03:46.680 The squad sends the railgun. 06:03:46.680 --> 06:03:49.320 He's got the short slide, so it gets up to the high ground. 06:03:49.320 --> 06:03:50.840 Just for moments, notice. 06:03:50.840 --> 06:03:56.680 And TVNT's just running down the back line, J.Roo's ended up playing a nice snipe on LeeSoo Finn. 06:03:56.680 --> 06:04:02.360 Hits him with the Ajax and Twisted Binds. They've got this first round. 06:04:03.640 --> 06:04:05.720 Going to close things out very shortly here. 06:04:05.720 --> 06:04:09.240 Lisa Min, I mean he has to make the play right. He has to make the touch for the point 06:04:09.880 --> 06:04:14.600 and drop the Sunberry in the process and so very telegraphed that the Sunberry is going to come out. 06:04:14.600 --> 06:04:20.440 But still, just moments before he was just a few percentages away from building that Sunberry 06:04:20.440 --> 06:04:24.760 early to maybe retain some of that positioning on the point. But because Lisa Min, he couldn't get 06:04:24.760 --> 06:04:26.480 at the healing in time. 06:04:26.480 --> 06:04:29.520 That meant the Twisted Minds, they were in full control 06:04:29.520 --> 06:04:31.520 and able to close things out to university. 06:04:31.520 --> 06:04:35.720 15 and three for TVNT, MIMMAX title, by the way. 06:04:35.720 --> 06:04:39.320 Very apt for TVNT, I would say. 06:04:39.320 --> 06:04:41.880 Yeah, Lee Summin, like you said, you're in a situation 06:04:41.880 --> 06:04:44.840 where you have to hit the beat, but they're looking at you. 06:04:44.840 --> 06:04:47.080 It's like, I've got no other choice. 06:04:47.080 --> 06:04:48.840 No one's solving that against him. 06:04:48.840 --> 06:04:51.240 But it's an eject nonetheless, add it to the count. 06:04:51.240 --> 06:05:02.240 They're fired up buddy. Oh yeah, I mean they're down around bro. They knew all the energy they can get. 06:05:02.240 --> 06:05:08.240 Different look here from TVNT. Now this is the hero he is known for and best on as well. 06:05:08.240 --> 06:05:12.240 His d-bit is so scary. One of the reasons why Twisted Minds won that World Finals. 06:05:12.240 --> 06:05:20.240 Yeah, he plays so well with the rest of the team. Rotates with Quartz, setting himself and his team up for success with that defense matrix. 06:05:20.240 --> 06:05:23.600 defense matrix and you can see here twisted mines they're using the diva 06:05:23.600 --> 06:05:27.280 here to rotate around this point try to look for pixie as soon as it's a bit of 06:05:27.280 --> 06:05:31.040 slow and as soon as it comes out as well she's by bubbles yeah right in front of 06:05:31.040 --> 06:05:34.520 their face Quartz was just shooting the whole time and then TVNT's just right on 06:05:34.520 --> 06:05:38.640 the side just shooting back at him nice! Matt from J Wu too! 06:05:38.640 --> 06:05:42.480 Double support going down 06:05:42.840 --> 06:05:46.940 they are still so very good at this composition this tournament so far it's 06:05:46.940 --> 06:05:51.540 been about to jet back cap. You can see here, poking early, prodding. Trying to look for 06:05:51.540 --> 06:05:55.340 a rail. Can't quite find one, so we're going to retreat. 06:05:55.340 --> 06:06:00.700 You can just hang back for a brief moment, just making sure they don't get sniped by 06:06:00.700 --> 06:06:03.740 quartz as they walk in. 06:06:03.740 --> 06:06:09.540 It's all about the rushes here. We'll list the four ultimates. 06:06:09.540 --> 06:06:14.980 Put it TVNT out of there. Okay, as TVNT knows he's been shot in the back, needs to reposition 06:06:14.980 --> 06:06:19.780 back on to the point. They're just inting on Shy right now and in fact maybe the back 06:06:19.780 --> 06:06:24.140 line is Shy retreats with them. Russians are getting used, they've isolated the carry 06:06:24.140 --> 06:06:25.300 here for Weber going... 06:06:25.300 --> 06:06:29.740 They just can't fill the Tetsunerosh jaws. They're forced to withdraw so much because 06:06:29.740 --> 06:06:33.500 Marka couldn't get it online and twisted nicely capitalized on the back of that. 06:06:33.500 --> 06:06:40.340 It's going to be a little staggered to... Oh! Straight into the cars. 06:06:40.340 --> 06:06:40.840 Damn. 06:06:42.540 --> 06:06:44.140 Nice extra 10-15% there, Johnny. 06:06:44.940 --> 06:06:46.340 Indeed, 53% here. 06:06:46.940 --> 06:06:50.940 In Weibo gaming, it just felt like they haven't come online so far here in the second round. 06:06:51.540 --> 06:06:52.940 They have that double support a little bit. 06:06:53.440 --> 06:06:56.440 That's Lisa Minn-Bills towards the centre, but here comes Quartz, early push. 06:06:56.440 --> 06:06:57.540 Really nice stuff. 06:06:58.140 --> 06:07:00.440 J-Boo's already in the back as well, just trying to chase the supports down. 06:07:00.440 --> 06:07:05.140 Barca goes dangerously low, he's got this rush, but doesn't want to use it right now, but shy with the snipe. 06:07:05.840 --> 06:07:07.840 Quartz though, still manages to get the DMEC. 06:07:07.840 --> 06:07:10.480 After death there by the looks of things, but he already shot him and 06:07:11.080 --> 06:07:13.080 Sun-Zo was a D-Methny 06:07:13.240 --> 06:07:16.480 Midway through that other kill TV NT end of killing leave here 06:07:16.480 --> 06:07:20.800 Shai just tries to clutch out this fight here, but simple gets enough and enough simple gets to 06:07:20.800 --> 06:07:23.400 So there is a way as well as TV NT and simple as 06:07:23.920 --> 06:07:27.240 There's a duo carrying this fight TV NT 06:07:28.480 --> 06:07:31.400 Twisted mind hold on to that fight. This could be a hundred though 06:07:31.560 --> 06:07:36.280 Everyone in the server assumed that's way beginning had won the fight type of silver clock, but can't get the value 06:07:36.280 --> 06:07:39.780 Wave will give me still had their support ultimate, and they're gonna have to touch the point. 06:07:39.780 --> 06:07:40.780 They got touch. 06:07:42.280 --> 06:07:44.780 At least you mean it has to hit this beat, FUNNY AASHRO 2. 06:07:44.780 --> 06:07:47.780 You got to touch. Oh my goodness, that was close. 06:07:48.280 --> 06:07:49.280 Alright, Marker. 06:07:49.780 --> 06:07:51.780 Laying down the rush first, twisted mines. 06:07:51.780 --> 06:07:55.280 Paying a little bit of heat, a little caution backing up slightly. 06:07:55.280 --> 06:07:57.780 FUNNY AASHRO knows he cannot go down here either. 06:07:57.780 --> 06:08:00.280 A counter beat, a better beat required for TM. 06:08:00.280 --> 06:08:03.780 But you want to go second here, you don't want to be the first Lucio to drop it. 06:08:03.780 --> 06:08:07.700 They have still to live into the other Lucio to respond and they have not flipped, by the way. 06:08:07.700 --> 06:08:10.980 There's the beat. Now Astro hits his slightly better one. 06:08:10.980 --> 06:08:15.740 And now the IntonTig Chi can continue as TBNT runs him down. 06:08:15.740 --> 06:08:16.500 Brutal. 06:08:16.500 --> 06:08:19.620 No touch there, Puebo at the end. 06:08:19.620 --> 06:08:27.820 The OT lasted so long Johnny, that not only a cup, like one second off the point cost them that mat. 06:08:27.820 --> 06:08:29.100 That's a 2-0, mat win. 06:08:29.100 --> 06:08:30.220 Dear. 06:08:30.220 --> 06:08:33.500 The tempo was just out of control for twisted minds. 06:08:33.500 --> 06:08:38.800 That's second round to control and what a massive fight win 06:08:38.800 --> 06:08:42.060 That was outside of way boo gaming spawn simple gets a couple 06:08:42.420 --> 06:08:45.860 Combining with TV and T on that diva and the way boo gaming 06:08:46.500 --> 06:08:50.480 Reflecting on that second round you gotta think we got off one Kitsuna watch one sound barrier 06:08:50.900 --> 06:08:57.440 Kitsuna's need more than that if we're gonna stay competitive in the series. Yeah, Jay was looking real clean with it as well 06:08:58.460 --> 06:09:00.460 Thruster is so good. It's so well-rounded 06:09:00.460 --> 06:09:05.460 I want to see how far they can make it. Can they make that kind of salty run back as well in the lowest? 06:09:05.460 --> 06:09:11.460 Yeah, I mean, J-Woo is a player who was really hoping that we'd remain in a very tracer-oriented meta. 06:09:11.460 --> 06:09:16.460 It just hasn't been the tournament for him so far. We saw what J-Woo is capable of at the bootcamp. 06:09:16.460 --> 06:09:20.460 But obviously in this tournament, it's more about flexing over to the reaper if need be. 06:09:20.460 --> 06:09:24.460 We've seen a little bit of tracer play in some of these bastion compositions, 06:09:24.460 --> 06:09:30.580 compositions but this is a series that J-Woo has more of an opportunity to leave a mark 06:09:30.580 --> 06:09:32.080 playing his signature tracer. 06:09:32.080 --> 06:09:39.280 Well the cat can't be banned on one side at least so we'll see, look at the Astro group 06:09:39.280 --> 06:09:41.380 as well, it's crazy. 06:09:41.380 --> 06:09:42.380 Scary place to fight. 06:09:42.380 --> 06:09:44.380 Ranger on that, it's ridiculous. 06:09:44.380 --> 06:09:45.380 Here's the grabs. 06:09:45.380 --> 06:09:46.780 Funny Astro, yeah it was an Ajax. 06:09:46.780 --> 06:09:48.620 Yeah, alright, there you go. 06:09:48.620 --> 06:09:53.780 Well it is scary, it's a scary prospect dropping the standard while you're in a grab and search. 06:09:53.780 --> 06:10:00.260 he wasn't in the graph well he was jumping into the graph to save his teammates I think so 06:10:00.260 --> 06:10:07.140 but nonetheless tough spot to try to drop the sound barrier here's a lot of damage being 06:10:07.140 --> 06:10:11.060 traded back and forth there do you get lisa mince come on surely we got to replay that 06:10:11.060 --> 06:10:16.340 one give me give me wow you're just hungry for age access yeah we know the end result 06:10:16.340 --> 06:10:22.100 buddy yeah it's fun I don't need to see it again it's funny you just enjoyed the lisa 06:10:22.100 --> 06:10:24.100 You don't? Come on, bro. 06:10:24.100 --> 06:10:26.100 It's kind of funny, not gonna lie. 06:10:26.100 --> 06:10:30.100 Yeah, exactly. It does feel bad for the players, but you know, it's a cool play. 06:10:30.100 --> 06:10:34.100 Jake would be having some words with me right now. 06:10:34.100 --> 06:10:38.100 What do you mean? What do you mean it's sad for the players? 06:10:38.100 --> 06:10:40.100 It's reality. It's what happened. 06:10:40.100 --> 06:10:42.100 It's reality. It unfolded. 06:10:42.100 --> 06:10:44.100 It unfolded before our eyes. 06:10:44.100 --> 06:10:46.100 This fight was absolutely mental. 06:10:46.100 --> 06:10:49.100 I can't believe that Twisted Minds ended up winning that one. 06:10:49.100 --> 06:10:50.540 Ended up winning that one. 06:10:50.540 --> 06:10:53.740 TVN10 simple duo queuing that backline. 06:10:53.740 --> 06:10:54.740 That's crazy. 06:10:54.740 --> 06:10:55.740 Insane. 06:10:55.740 --> 06:10:56.740 Yeah. 06:10:56.740 --> 06:10:59.780 And I mean, it helped them get the win as well, even in the second round, so. 06:10:59.780 --> 06:11:01.380 The tempo was just unbelievable. 06:11:01.380 --> 06:11:05.540 Like, again, swinging wide with quarts playing the soldier and trying to hit these railgun 06:11:05.540 --> 06:11:07.860 shots early, putting pressure on wabergaming. 06:11:07.860 --> 06:11:11.180 To try and even get out, you know, something like a Kitsunorosh, for example, getting out 06:11:11.180 --> 06:11:13.380 one of these big cooldowns. 06:11:13.380 --> 06:11:17.820 That is why you want to up that tempo so much and twist your mind, it's really putting 06:11:17.820 --> 06:11:25.340 way beginning a difficult spot there on Oasis Kings Row chosen by weather indeed 06:11:25.340 --> 06:11:29.100 it's a matter of being pretty comfortable on so far this tournament that I mean 06:11:29.100 --> 06:11:32.820 it's pretty straight up you know it's a good old default everyone votes for 06:11:32.820 --> 06:11:39.020 Kings Row when it shows up in the ranked is that true still jerking I think so 06:11:39.020 --> 06:11:43.460 I mean I we thought it I'm not sure about it if you get six seven people in 06:11:43.460 --> 06:11:45.460 the lobby who don't vote on TvNT's roll. 06:11:45.460 --> 06:11:47.460 You really just say that on broadcast? 06:11:47.460 --> 06:11:49.460 I mean, what? 06:11:49.460 --> 06:11:51.460 He doesn't know chat. Don't worry about it, Johnny. 06:11:51.460 --> 06:11:55.460 He doesn't know. Let's look at TvNT's stats from map 1. 06:11:55.460 --> 06:11:59.460 9.6 KD, 33 alims for 10 as well. 06:11:59.460 --> 06:12:01.460 Yeah, I mean, he is absurd. 06:12:01.460 --> 06:12:03.460 Oh, I get it now. 06:12:03.460 --> 06:12:05.460 Yeah, TvNT. 06:12:05.460 --> 06:12:07.460 Hang on a second. He got that. 06:12:07.460 --> 06:12:11.460 I'm 30 years old, damn it. It takes me some time to process these memes. 06:12:11.460 --> 06:12:23.460 He has been popping off. I thought it was really impressive how Twisted Mind, they really took it on Ilios, two crazy players, and obviously the series didn't end the way they wanted, that's why they're here in that lower bracket. 06:12:23.460 --> 06:12:33.460 But TVNT has just been such an amazing tag player for this team, for the better part of a year now, and then part of so much success this Twisted Mind roster has seen. 06:12:33.460 --> 06:12:37.900 It's going to be interesting to see how they adapt to their loss in the upper bracket. 06:12:37.900 --> 06:12:40.980 Obviously, they have to deal with WaveBoo Gaming here first. 06:12:40.980 --> 06:12:43.780 But a lot of these teams, they're learning about this Mizuki comp, you know, how are 06:12:43.780 --> 06:12:45.460 we going to battle that one Virtus.Pro? 06:12:45.460 --> 06:12:49.500 They came out with some Symmetra gameplay as well, and that, you know, left a dent in 06:12:49.500 --> 06:12:51.660 a team like Sera Division at least. 06:12:51.660 --> 06:12:54.740 And so a lot of these teams, they have different compositions on their mind, different strategies 06:12:54.740 --> 06:12:55.740 in place. 06:12:55.740 --> 06:12:59.940 Let's see if maybe they bring one of those compositions out here. 06:12:59.940 --> 06:13:01.940 Try and throw the opponent off guard. 06:13:01.940 --> 06:13:13.940 Yeah, Ashro didn't have a good game. You know, honestly, just getting picked a lot of the time in their upper bracket game just first like, okay, well, if you're Lucio or your support like that is getting picked so often. 06:13:13.940 --> 06:13:20.940 It's just so tough to like come back in the fight. The 4v5s, especially going Kabashin is real tough. 06:13:20.940 --> 06:13:28.940 Band's coming up. You saw a little glimpse already, but Mizuki band for TM as we see a Kenji band. 06:13:28.940 --> 06:13:34.340 I don't know how to describe it, like the fall from the crowd when they saw the Mizuki 06:13:34.340 --> 06:13:37.620 but they come out there, or maybe it was the Genji band, I mean I don't speak Japanese, 06:13:37.620 --> 06:13:40.860 but one of the two they were like surprised about, and I assume it was the Mizuki because 06:13:40.860 --> 06:13:44.180 Twisted Mind is obviously putting some respect to it on Waybegaming's name, just like okay 06:13:44.180 --> 06:13:48.900 well we're going to King's Drow, it's a really good map for a composition like the main 06:13:48.900 --> 06:13:53.780 Sigma Mizuki which we have seen more of, we just don't want to partake in that, we don't 06:13:53.780 --> 06:13:56.820 want to have to deal with that composition right now, and we saw in the previous series 06:13:56.820 --> 06:14:00.100 with no Misuki in the mix, it is a way harder composition to pull off. 06:14:00.100 --> 06:14:02.580 It's kind of insane, Mizuki's almost come out of nowhere. 06:14:02.580 --> 06:14:05.780 It wasn't really good on release, to be honest, compared to, like, you know, again, the classic 06:14:05.780 --> 06:14:06.780 Kirilusio. 06:14:06.780 --> 06:14:11.180 It's good in his own rights, but like, at the top level, like, Kirilusio is just so 06:14:11.180 --> 06:14:12.180 good. 06:14:12.180 --> 06:14:16.060 And his, in this tournament, it's just, pop that out, he's like, oh wait, this is, especially 06:14:16.060 --> 06:14:18.300 for King's Row, like, very, very good. 06:14:18.300 --> 06:14:22.660 Well, I think, when Misuki was released, we're kind of thinking about, okay, well, what is 06:14:22.660 --> 06:14:24.220 Misuki's role in the game, right? 06:14:24.220 --> 06:14:25.220 What does Misuki do for you? 06:14:25.220 --> 06:14:26.220 Yeah. 06:14:26.220 --> 06:14:29.220 about punishing flankers, you know, you can get the chain onto a wrecking ball in your 06:14:29.220 --> 06:14:33.400 backline, for example. Now here on D.Va as well, we've seen some effectiveness against 06:14:33.400 --> 06:14:38.340 D.Va players getting that chain on line, putting them in place. But also, now we're at the 06:14:38.340 --> 06:14:43.260 point with Sambar, you're nerfed on Lucio, Misuke is just a great alternative or a healer, 06:14:43.260 --> 06:14:46.540 providing so much healing to the rest of his team. And Sanctuary, it's a good ultimate, 06:14:46.540 --> 06:14:49.460 you know, put it in place, now it negates protocols from either way whether you're shooting 06:14:49.460 --> 06:14:53.860 in or out. And I think this is a great ultimate if you just want to hold some space, which 06:14:53.860 --> 06:14:58.420 is so pivotal in the professional scene. Yeah, it's gonna be a ban by Twisted Mind, second 06:14:58.420 --> 06:15:08.620 to ban there. Alright, King's Row. Probably not playing a cat bot either. So we call it 06:15:08.620 --> 06:15:15.100 cat bot. Jetpack cat and Bastion. Yeah, I mean jetpack cat and Bastion is a mouthful. 06:15:15.100 --> 06:15:21.540 So, well yeah. I think cat bot was... I like cat Bastion. Cat bot's good. I like that too. 06:15:21.540 --> 06:15:25.540 I think you could bring it out. I mentioned to Jake earlier, like I think there's some roof tops here to play around. 06:15:25.540 --> 06:15:31.540 I think it gets a little risky if you're the attacking team and you got to swing on the first point to try and get some value, but 06:15:31.540 --> 06:15:33.540 the Skybox is pretty good. 06:15:33.540 --> 06:15:40.540 I don't mind it too much. The composition is really strong right now, but most likely going to seem a bit more of default. 06:15:40.540 --> 06:15:43.540 I hate that we're calling it default, but losing carry. 06:15:51.540 --> 06:16:01.860 Alright, so look at the defence here, four twisted mines, simple Alari, I mean he is 06:16:01.860 --> 06:16:04.820 a beast on Alari. 06:16:04.820 --> 06:16:09.540 And funny actually running the Juno instead, no Lucio, can't really pair the Alusio with 06:16:09.540 --> 06:16:12.380 the Alari, not too much healing to be had. 06:16:12.380 --> 06:16:14.100 What do you think about this support duo here? 06:16:14.100 --> 06:16:17.780 That's a fellow Alari player Jaws, yeah, yes, that's me. 06:16:17.780 --> 06:16:20.180 How do you feel about this little backline for the guys? 06:16:20.180 --> 06:16:21.380 I think it's great, honestly. 06:16:21.380 --> 06:16:22.880 I think it's great to have that glory in it. 06:16:22.880 --> 06:16:23.380 Yeah. 06:16:23.380 --> 06:16:25.580 I mean, look, on Kings Royale especially, 06:16:25.580 --> 06:16:27.260 you're playing on the high ground a lot of the time. 06:16:27.260 --> 06:16:29.480 You put your pile on in a position where they can't shoot it 06:16:29.480 --> 06:16:30.780 unless they're into the corridors, 06:16:30.780 --> 06:16:32.900 and then you just, like, rain your little light shots 06:16:32.900 --> 06:16:34.580 down to the people on the point. 06:16:34.580 --> 06:16:35.500 I think it's good. 06:16:35.500 --> 06:16:39.380 But on the other hand, Webby, well, they're in a cat-bash. 06:16:39.380 --> 06:16:40.420 Yeah, I think Juno as well. 06:16:40.420 --> 06:16:42.060 It's a pretty self-sufficient main support 06:16:42.060 --> 06:16:44.060 if you're not prone to getting hit by a tracer 06:16:44.060 --> 06:16:45.140 or something like that. 06:16:45.140 --> 06:16:46.740 And also, they might be flexing over to something 06:16:46.740 --> 06:16:48.180 like a Juno break from second point 06:16:48.180 --> 06:16:49.780 if they're unable to hold here on first. 06:16:49.780 --> 06:16:51.780 They're going to play the deck by Cap Ambassion. 06:16:51.780 --> 06:16:53.780 Let's see how they navigate the verticality here. 06:16:53.780 --> 06:16:55.780 They try to swing and get a couple of picks here. 06:16:55.780 --> 06:16:57.780 Terri's so low. 06:16:59.780 --> 06:17:01.780 A lot of quick shot though. A lot of poke from Symbol as well. 06:17:01.780 --> 06:17:04.780 He's going to be able to kind of snipe and put a little bit of pressure on Shy. 06:17:04.780 --> 06:17:06.780 Oh my God, where are they going? 06:17:08.780 --> 06:17:10.780 They're trying to cut the entire team off. 06:17:10.780 --> 06:17:12.780 Sunza was like, it's something that's going down anyway. 06:17:12.780 --> 06:17:13.780 Yeah, it's so tough. 06:17:13.780 --> 06:17:15.780 Like she was sorry of all people. 06:17:15.780 --> 06:17:18.780 You can't really help the Cap Ashen if they're going back. 06:17:18.780 --> 06:17:20.780 Going that deep 06:17:21.740 --> 06:17:26.460 They're really doing a great job trying to set up the angles, but that time 06:17:27.260 --> 06:17:33.260 So I'm so kind of cart in between the his his cat and bastion and the rest of his team mark on the honor 06:17:33.260 --> 06:17:38.180 Of course, I'm a little scared about mark a potentially being left alone here on this honor 06:17:38.180 --> 06:17:43.660 Leave is gonna have to do a lot of work to fend off the J. Will here as he looks to capitalize on this pretty weak way of the 06:17:43.660 --> 06:17:45.160 gaming backline 06:17:45.160 --> 06:17:46.860 But the once again 06:17:46.860 --> 06:17:51.260 Can't overstate the importance of passion in this lineup. He is the pivotal character 06:17:51.960 --> 06:17:55.660 Yeah, I mean Joe who's getting straight up marked by leave this entire time 06:17:55.660 --> 06:17:58.340 So that pressure like you said relieved 06:17:58.980 --> 06:18:02.820 From a muck up. They are just lying around buddy. They are there we go 06:18:02.820 --> 06:18:06.820 Let's turn a doobie flying around well all that's gonna get matrixed. Unfortunately 06:18:07.460 --> 06:18:09.460 postmove for jw2 06:18:09.700 --> 06:18:14.780 Recoil force really early on by leave. It's gonna be a post. Oh, not quite sales high in the sky 06:18:14.780 --> 06:18:17.820 at least I mean still ends are going down. They trade a support for a DPS. 06:18:19.260 --> 06:18:22.540 If we can build a couple of ultimates here, I don't think they're in a rush necessarily to 06:18:22.540 --> 06:18:27.100 defend the point, twisted mines. They got a touch. They want the captive sun and the orbital ray if 06:18:27.100 --> 06:18:30.700 they can. You're gonna not, you can't not be touching right now. Capture the sun, 06:18:30.700 --> 06:18:34.060 straight over the top, looking for somebody, looking for the support on the back line. It hits 06:18:34.060 --> 06:18:40.540 Marker, that's the double tap. Marker goes down and leave two, I mean, wow, simple smoothing, 06:18:40.540 --> 06:18:41.540 It's so good! 06:18:41.540 --> 06:18:44.540 It doesn't end up sniping at least a bit, but it doesn't matter. 06:18:44.540 --> 06:18:46.540 R.B.J. will be here with the cleanup. 06:18:46.540 --> 06:18:48.540 The individual ability of these Elara players. 06:18:48.540 --> 06:18:51.540 You win a fight like that, really impressive, from simple. 06:18:51.540 --> 06:18:55.540 I think the most crucial element of that fight was that Marca used the Nonoboos, 06:18:55.540 --> 06:18:58.540 and it is so effective in this Bastion comp. 06:18:58.540 --> 06:19:02.540 You want to put it on your Bastion, just confirm the engage, double down on it. 06:19:02.540 --> 06:19:04.540 At that time, have you used the Nonoboos? 06:19:04.540 --> 06:19:06.540 Now, Marca forced over to the Kiriko as well. 06:19:06.540 --> 06:19:09.540 That was a pretty big condition here for him to get the cap at the point. 06:19:09.540 --> 06:19:12.100 They're going to try and kidnap somebody. 06:19:12.100 --> 06:19:14.660 Orbital Racer coming out, so there's just too much damage you'd think. 06:19:14.660 --> 06:19:17.300 Simple up on the high ground now, using that Orbital Racer damage. 06:19:17.300 --> 06:19:21.300 Jay we went to be falling, there's a lot of players from Weber Gaming right now sitting on that mega health back. 06:19:21.300 --> 06:19:24.580 Push his quarts away for a brief moment, Mark is so low. 06:19:24.580 --> 06:19:27.460 His lead chases down, quarts. 06:19:27.460 --> 06:19:31.700 I mean the entirety of Twisted Minds there, we're trying to capitalize on the rotations of Weber Gaming, but 06:19:31.700 --> 06:19:33.380 his lead that comes up with a kill. 06:19:35.140 --> 06:19:37.700 That should be the first point captured here for Weber Gaming. 06:19:37.700 --> 06:19:43.800 Mr. Meinster, don't want to let Wave of Gaming out of those tight areas and you 06:19:43.800 --> 06:19:47.740 saw Quartz for example trying to set up on the flank there on the cashing just 06:19:47.740 --> 06:19:53.940 rain damage into Wavigaming as they're stuck in that hotel area but Mr. Meinster 06:19:53.940 --> 06:19:57.860 got a little bit too greedy, hooked a little bit too hard in Wavigaming turned 06:19:57.860 --> 06:20:02.500 the tables on him. Yeah and if you leave, as soon as you hear that casnade you're 06:20:02.500 --> 06:20:07.580 like well that's a nice little girl for me especially for someone like leave. 06:20:07.580 --> 06:20:15.580 So you're heading into this second point. Simple has the captive son, but it's a tough part to push into. 06:20:15.580 --> 06:20:18.580 You don't want to go too far with this one, and you also have to consider the defense matrix. 06:20:18.580 --> 06:20:23.580 Maka's going to have the Kitsunorosh here. That could be an ultimate you could use to push forward here in Jameson Ground. 06:20:23.580 --> 06:20:29.580 Oh, and Shai's behind on the rockets too. Very good against the teams that aren't running the Cap Ashen. 06:20:29.580 --> 06:20:31.580 Shai takes down Simple. Simple as well. 06:20:31.580 --> 06:20:37.060 My goodness simple captive some that tried to get it off, but shut down by shy 06:20:37.900 --> 06:20:41.260 Yeah, very tough spot to get it out. Let's see here. It's going to be a swap 06:20:42.420 --> 06:20:44.420 Simple have action 06:20:45.420 --> 06:20:49.940 Also just using the speed was there to try and get a steam across swaps back to it actually 06:20:50.500 --> 06:20:57.180 Like with the money change of the mines. Maybe all right. There's our sense. That's more sense. All right. Simple still has his brain. We're good 06:20:58.900 --> 06:21:00.900 That's crazy 06:21:00.900 --> 06:21:03.420 I'll lose you, Cap. Come on, buddy. Come on, buddy. 06:21:03.420 --> 06:21:04.420 Yeah, that's better. 06:21:04.420 --> 06:21:05.420 There's no way. 06:21:05.420 --> 06:21:07.420 There's still sense in the composition. 06:21:07.420 --> 06:21:09.420 There is still sense here. 06:21:09.420 --> 06:21:11.420 Oh, Shy has popped that out to try and stay alive. 06:21:11.420 --> 06:21:13.420 Trying to find someone to shoot out. 06:21:13.420 --> 06:21:16.420 Looks like he was trying to go for a mid-air shot on Quartz. 06:21:16.420 --> 06:21:18.420 Didn't end up getting any damage down there. 06:21:18.420 --> 06:21:19.420 Oh, great. 06:21:19.420 --> 06:21:20.420 Great, it's good for Jay. 06:21:20.420 --> 06:21:22.420 We've got a better Suzu there for Marker. 06:21:22.420 --> 06:21:24.420 Don't do it. Taking a lot of damage here. 06:21:24.420 --> 06:21:26.420 Mom's going to be popped. 06:21:26.420 --> 06:21:28.420 There's Sebastian. 06:21:28.420 --> 06:21:34.420 hit from shy and quartz. Quartz gets better or shy. So much easier when you don't have that rocket perk. 06:21:38.420 --> 06:21:43.700 That hit that per-death. Didn't even need to steal the mic. Lee Soo Min's cat has been so good. 06:21:43.700 --> 06:21:47.780 Yeah, hitting a stun onto the tracer like that. That's going to be enough to give your team an 06:21:47.780 --> 06:21:52.500 opportunity to post things out. Spisted mines. Go for a bit of a contest here. There are a few 06:21:52.500 --> 06:21:56.980 players but simple going down and no mech available for TBNT. That should be way beginning. 06:21:56.980 --> 06:22:03.380 capping the second pointer and continuing to roll around. Please roll. Two and a half minutes in 06:22:03.380 --> 06:22:07.220 the time back now. They're really starting to roll with this cap action. 06:22:10.340 --> 06:22:16.420 Let's see what twisted minds can do here. So, Shire, he has taken the AC 130 perk. 06:22:16.420 --> 06:22:20.740 As a quartz swapping over to this bastion could potentially have the advantage in the aerial 06:22:20.740 --> 06:22:25.300 duel. Yeah. Abbas been turning that for a while. You know, you're taking the rocket bug. It's like, 06:22:25.300 --> 06:22:29.760 Well, actually now face-switch to Bastion is just so much more difficult for the player against. 06:22:29.760 --> 06:22:30.560 We've been saying it. 06:22:30.560 --> 06:22:31.340 We've been saying it. 06:22:31.940 --> 06:22:36.540 Obviously you want the more direct tracking ability of the Bastion to try and pick your opponent out of the sky. 06:22:39.040 --> 06:22:40.480 It's in Russia's available here, Jaws. 06:22:42.080 --> 06:22:46.080 You can suffice for a little bit of damage there coming through from Shia as he pops out of turret form. 06:22:46.980 --> 06:22:49.280 And moving up pretty effectively here. 06:22:49.280 --> 06:22:52.580 It's going to be a rush backwards for Maka, attempting to kite maybe. 06:22:52.580 --> 06:22:53.080 Hello. 06:22:53.080 --> 06:22:57.000 Kidnapped? Oh, not quite. He's too big. Finally shut down. 06:22:57.640 --> 06:23:04.680 There's still a point presence here from Cheyenne. He's got ult, but I think he really got the bodies here to actually make this work. 06:23:04.680 --> 06:23:08.360 Nice Suzu actually covering almost the entirety of Twistermind's frontline. 06:23:09.080 --> 06:23:11.960 He didn't got mobility, and that's going to make sure they win the fight. 06:23:11.960 --> 06:23:15.880 And going back to this perk discussion, I think that Wave of Gaming are in a really tough pace now. 06:23:16.760 --> 06:23:19.880 Because we can't necessarily rely on these hard swings anymore and try to 06:23:20.760 --> 06:23:22.280 get the aerial dominance. 06:23:23.080 --> 06:23:28.080 And so Twisted Minds are in a great position here, as they're still skirmishing, trying to build some more of those ultimates. 06:23:28.080 --> 06:23:31.080 You can see actually, Twisted's quite a bit of armor here. There's going to be a go-conditional wave-o. 06:23:31.080 --> 06:23:37.080 No, they're going to try at least. He's trying to snipe people, but it's just not working. He's going to get mad at the moment, but they could snipe on simple. We'll do it. 06:23:37.080 --> 06:23:44.080 Shy with a punch in mid-air against Quartz, but now he's descended eventually down to the ground. 06:23:44.080 --> 06:23:49.080 Quartz is on such an off-angle here. It's kind of frustrating for him to be dealt with. 06:23:49.080 --> 06:23:53.000 out with but they need to get back to the fight they've been taken up by 06:23:53.000 --> 06:23:55.920 Cap Ashen again Quartz pops the officer in additional health Sharon for 06:23:55.920 --> 06:23:58.720 high ground go the rocket but he just managed to get out by the looks of it 06:23:58.720 --> 06:24:04.720 there's the kid over the edge see you later TV and T. Oh there's the reset nice 06:24:04.720 --> 06:24:09.880 ult from Funny Astro great ultimate from Funny Astro good rotation from 06:24:09.880 --> 06:24:14.640 Twisted Mind Steer as well took a while to get the picks required but delaying 06:24:14.640 --> 06:24:18.960 the cart being pushed 15 seconds to go here now wave of gaming you got a 06:24:18.960 --> 06:24:24.640 great ultimate economy to work with. Let's see how they utilize this turret form 06:24:24.640 --> 06:24:29.480 from shy. Make a decisive push onto the cart as they have to touch. 06:24:29.480 --> 06:24:35.320 Right, yeah, double post. Here we go. Alpha, leave, and Jaewoo. And here comes the rush. 06:24:35.320 --> 06:24:40.040 How are you sustaining against this? Bonnie Astrid just falls over. There's not much 06:24:40.040 --> 06:24:43.320 they can do now with this fashion. Quartz is gonna have to do it all by himself. 06:24:43.320 --> 06:24:45.320 Sons are also very low. 06:24:45.320 --> 06:24:47.320 Postbombs both of them going wide 06:24:47.320 --> 06:24:52.320 as leave now to a head right into a song throw with a double self-destruct. 06:24:52.320 --> 06:24:54.320 I mean that is the difference maker. 06:24:55.320 --> 06:24:58.320 Some of these teams have been known to get value out of these self-destructs 06:24:58.320 --> 06:25:00.320 and now here in overtime, 06:25:00.320 --> 06:25:03.320 Christian Mines might get a decent attempt here to get back to the court 06:25:03.320 --> 06:25:05.320 but this is looking like way too gaming. 06:25:05.320 --> 06:25:08.320 Looking to cap the third point on Kings Row. 06:25:08.320 --> 06:25:09.320 They're gonna try and get out. 06:25:09.320 --> 06:25:12.320 Funny asher, I swap it over, gotta go to Lucio again to get another to amp it up. 06:25:12.320 --> 06:25:28.320 One meter to go now, Ashro is already down, Shai is on top of this high ground, he's going to hit that old two, good luck staying alive, he's just going to use it on the point, self-destruct, not good for one, pause, he's too mean, but that's the cap, the Wave-O. 06:25:31.320 --> 06:25:33.320 Zero seconds at the time, but it will do. 06:25:34.320 --> 06:25:41.320 You can hear the crowd in here, it is electric when Wave-O gaming gets going, so many fans in the building for this team. 06:25:42.320 --> 06:25:47.680 And that's going to help the team as well feel good as they like try to win a map in the series 06:25:56.080 --> 06:25:58.720 Three and two for market 15 assists 06:26:01.520 --> 06:26:03.040 We'll see how 06:26:03.040 --> 06:26:06.700 Twist minds want to kind of conquer this one and that was the big thing dude 06:26:06.700 --> 06:26:12.140 It feels like 9D chess. You don't play the Cap Bastion until the Bastion gets the rocket perk 06:26:12.140 --> 06:26:15.820 and then you flip the Cap Bastion and it's like the Bastion is worse. 06:26:16.540 --> 06:26:21.500 Exactly. Because a lot of that turrets form gets strained by the Diva as well. So how many 06:26:21.500 --> 06:26:27.020 rockets do you have in that form? I don't know. 12 maybe? 10? If you get half of those reduced by 06:26:27.020 --> 06:26:30.860 Ethan, yeah, but a defense matrix, I mean you don't get a ton of value from that turret form 06:26:30.860 --> 06:26:35.820 anymore. Now that being said, way beginning. Some really good decisive pushes there because 06:26:35.820 --> 06:26:41.340 You want a hard swing with the Death Pack Cat speed boost ability to try to get your Bastion in there, 06:26:41.340 --> 06:26:46.460 try to get one big hit onto the enemy carry or a weaker character like that. 06:26:46.460 --> 06:26:49.740 Wave of gaming, they did a great job making that happen, obviously there. 06:26:50.300 --> 06:26:54.140 Sunso self-destruct as well, helping the team get across the finish line. 06:26:57.180 --> 06:26:58.540 There with a quick Sonic. 06:27:00.860 --> 06:27:04.460 Here's a couple of things, which is that Tracer looks like horse is going to switch off as well. 06:27:04.460 --> 06:27:09.460 Just scouring, for now seems like thinking about what composition they want to play. 06:27:09.460 --> 06:27:14.460 And they're not gonna go! Okay, Quartz, I would search. 06:27:17.460 --> 06:27:20.460 No cats in the mix here, pretty default. 06:27:20.460 --> 06:27:26.460 DBNT, going to touch this point here, force Wabigame to respond, and contest as well. 06:27:26.460 --> 06:27:29.460 It's all about building these railgun shots now. 06:27:29.460 --> 06:27:32.460 Have to still be aware of shy's turret from cooldown. 06:27:32.460 --> 06:27:34.460 We can use lights right now 06:27:34.500 --> 06:27:36.740 Yeah, you can hear those bullets ringing out 06:27:37.900 --> 06:27:39.900 the Sun so does is a 06:27:39.940 --> 06:27:46.060 Good position on the point there just making sure there's no free ticks although TV and T is still gonna sneak one away 06:27:46.580 --> 06:27:50.740 It's gonna attend to kind of track a little bit here, but you lost mek. Yeah, I did 06:27:51.380 --> 06:27:55.020 They've managed to get at least one tick, but I'm gonna go on to the second now 06:27:55.020 --> 06:27:58.420 Now, Barry still lose one. 06:27:58.420 --> 06:28:00.140 All right, hang on a second, Shai's really low too, 06:28:00.140 --> 06:28:02.780 J-Woo is like, hounding him down. 06:28:02.780 --> 06:28:04.420 Luckily, defense major's gonna do it. 06:28:04.420 --> 06:28:06.380 Johnny, that's another tick despite losing that. 06:28:06.380 --> 06:28:09.100 Yeah, Twisted Minds in a pretty good place here. 06:28:09.100 --> 06:28:11.020 As we begin, we are still waiting for the fifth member 06:28:11.020 --> 06:28:11.860 to get back. 06:28:11.860 --> 06:28:13.620 It's an rush being built here as well. 06:28:14.540 --> 06:28:16.620 This could be a great opportunity for Twisted Minds 06:28:16.620 --> 06:28:18.220 to get this first point. 06:28:18.220 --> 06:28:19.140 Yeah, both flushes too. 06:28:19.140 --> 06:28:21.260 You can't step off the point now, unfortunately. 06:28:21.260 --> 06:28:23.220 Marko is gonna use his in response. 06:28:23.220 --> 06:28:29.220 Zuzu goes through on to Sun-Zubat, unfortunately, Shai and Leeve already dead, and that's going 06:28:29.220 --> 06:28:30.220 to be the point. 06:28:30.220 --> 06:28:31.220 Nice shot from Quartz. 06:28:31.220 --> 06:28:33.220 There you go, point of logs. 06:28:33.220 --> 06:28:34.220 payload. 06:28:34.220 --> 06:28:35.220 Steins get moving. 06:28:35.220 --> 06:28:41.780 And so, TVNT there, when he lost the mech, pushing the high ground, trying to put pressure 06:28:41.780 --> 06:28:45.220 on to the enemy bastion, when that turret cooldown is offline. 06:28:45.220 --> 06:28:49.620 Now, he lost the mech, but Wabu Gaming, they lost the high ground in the process, trying 06:28:49.620 --> 06:28:52.140 to contest that objective as well. 06:28:52.140 --> 06:28:55.580 They couldn't really escape that very close, narrow area as well. 06:28:55.580 --> 06:29:00.420 They're allowed to sit in mines to be in a superior position, have the better angles, come the actual team fight. 06:29:03.140 --> 06:29:05.140 Is there a soundbar for Avril? 06:29:05.140 --> 06:29:06.380 Avril? 06:29:06.380 --> 06:29:08.260 Astro? 06:29:08.260 --> 06:29:10.180 He hasn't got a soundbar. Not yet. 06:29:10.180 --> 06:29:11.700 Who knows? He might be. 06:29:11.700 --> 06:29:14.740 Might be in agreement right now with the beat. 06:29:14.740 --> 06:29:16.700 Astro 5% away. 06:29:16.700 --> 06:29:22.300 These Quartzes are ult first though, but at least he just pops the rally so they're able to peak around this corner a little bit 06:29:22.300 --> 06:29:24.620 and basically just negates Quartz's ult completely. 06:29:24.620 --> 06:29:26.860 This could be a sound very push from Funny Astro if they want it. 06:29:29.340 --> 06:29:34.980 As long as he doesn't get interrupted here at ult and Jey we're already on the flank, kind of raring and ready to go. 06:29:34.980 --> 06:29:38.660 That's got a pulse bomb, there's the beat like you called Johnny, and now Macker in trouble. 06:29:38.660 --> 06:29:44.740 Macker is going to use the Suzu on himself and now Jey we can just turn his attention towards the brick, 06:29:44.740 --> 06:29:47.980 but mark a TP's into the front line to kill J-Wood. 06:29:49.740 --> 06:29:52.220 Solid team fight, fight Twisted Minds. 06:29:52.220 --> 06:29:54.100 BC does it with the sound barrier in hand, 06:29:54.100 --> 06:29:55.860 still one of the most powerful ultimates in the game, 06:29:55.860 --> 06:29:57.660 despite being nerfed. 06:29:57.660 --> 06:30:00.060 This mind's going to continue pushing this cart. 06:30:00.060 --> 06:30:02.620 Now, you're going to have the opportunity to set up, 06:30:02.620 --> 06:30:05.100 as you can see already, Quartz on this high ground. 06:30:05.100 --> 06:30:06.020 Have the kid soon rush, 06:30:06.020 --> 06:30:08.380 and that's going to be dropped on top of this cart. 06:30:09.380 --> 06:30:11.740 Worsing, way beginning to take a lot of damage. 06:30:11.740 --> 06:30:13.340 As this payload contest comes. 06:30:13.340 --> 06:30:19.580 Well they have the Cap Bastion now so they're going to get a slingshot shy in or try to 06:30:19.580 --> 06:30:23.740 but there's not really much aerial space to use that realistically. 06:30:23.740 --> 06:30:26.940 Shy gets jumped on both from on the wall as well that might just kill him. 06:30:26.940 --> 06:30:27.940 How's it up there? 06:30:27.940 --> 06:30:31.100 Somehow Marko needs to be keeping alive but they can't keep Sonsu up. 06:30:31.100 --> 06:30:32.820 There are the kills. 06:30:32.820 --> 06:30:34.820 That twisted mind's needed. 06:30:34.820 --> 06:30:35.820 A DMEC onto TVNT. 06:30:35.820 --> 06:30:38.620 It's just going to be a self-destruct to get the remake. 06:30:38.620 --> 06:30:40.700 Leesomeen dies and that is point. 06:30:40.700 --> 06:30:45.140 What a really solid King's Row from who's in mind so far on this offense. 06:30:45.140 --> 06:30:49.480 Can't really complain about too much in either of the teamfights that has taken place so 06:30:49.480 --> 06:30:50.980 far here on this offense. 06:30:50.980 --> 06:30:54.020 And they're rolling onto the third point with four minutes and a half. 06:30:54.020 --> 06:30:56.420 Yeah, I feel them real good about that. 06:30:56.420 --> 06:30:59.300 And then you need what, the extra minute on the clock, right? 06:30:59.300 --> 06:31:00.300 And then you get a free attack. 06:31:00.300 --> 06:31:03.300 So, you're in a real good spot. 06:31:03.300 --> 06:31:04.300 Right here. 06:31:04.300 --> 06:31:06.380 Look at this, the high ground. 06:31:06.380 --> 06:31:13.380 But the D-Vice so close range, Leesonman drops really low actually, means that Tuzu-Sunto has less healing available as well. 06:31:13.380 --> 06:31:19.380 Wave of gaming, taking so much poke early on in these fights, don't want to lose too much positioning. 06:31:19.380 --> 06:31:25.380 Yeah, Sunzo, now with the abilities they ran here, you've got that extra lifeline with that nemesis form. 06:31:25.380 --> 06:31:27.380 This is scary, force has fallen into the game. 06:31:27.380 --> 06:31:30.380 Dude, taking so much damage, aww, Leesonman's so low, oh, try to get back! 06:31:30.380 --> 06:31:32.380 Oh, gosh, he's away! 06:31:32.380 --> 06:31:38.380 Shai takes him out regardless and Mark with a beautiful kill into symbol but 06:31:38.380 --> 06:31:42.580 almost for the picture perfect there for twisted minds. That looked real scary for 06:31:42.580 --> 06:31:47.100 a second the position the quartz was in but great job by Wabu Gaming coming in 06:31:47.100 --> 06:31:51.820 for the contest forcing him to the low ground and they're going to hold for now 06:31:51.820 --> 06:31:57.580 the fans really need to rally these three minutes here and this next fight 06:31:57.580 --> 06:31:59.580 It's going to be a tough one. 06:31:59.580 --> 06:32:01.580 Funny Astro, beating Gage. 06:32:01.580 --> 06:32:04.580 They're just beating into this. I mean, Shy's on the wrong side of the fight right now. 06:32:04.580 --> 06:32:07.580 Same with Lisa Min, so there's a three-person hold on the payload right now for Webber Gaming. 06:32:07.580 --> 06:32:11.580 They're going to try and swing back in. You can see Shy being tangled. 06:32:11.580 --> 06:32:14.580 They are not looking at him at all, Johnny. 06:32:16.580 --> 06:32:18.580 They've just got a little bit too crazy. 06:32:18.580 --> 06:32:21.580 Lisa Min carried Shy into the spawn doors of Twisted Minds, 06:32:21.580 --> 06:32:25.580 and Funny Astro thought he had an opportunity to drop the sound barrier. 06:32:25.580 --> 06:32:31.460 Get a pick early, but, way beginning disengaging accordingly, and then collapsing, putting 06:32:31.460 --> 06:32:35.340 two submits in a really difficult place as TD&T swaps over to this Mauga. 06:32:35.340 --> 06:32:39.500 It's going to have some more direct damage to output onto the cat and the bastion in 06:32:39.500 --> 06:32:41.060 Aswelp, cardiac overdrive. 06:32:41.060 --> 06:32:43.860 Going to be quite effective with these narrow-act breakthroughs. 06:32:43.860 --> 06:32:45.660 Oh, what a stupid move. 06:32:45.660 --> 06:32:49.820 It's nice, but Shy is still just shooting at this front line. 06:32:49.820 --> 06:32:54.500 And with Friar should go down, I mean, if I do this over Johnny, simple ends of using 06:32:54.500 --> 06:32:58.460 Russia trying salvage of what's left. A stomping for the front line but Shai is 06:32:58.460 --> 06:33:01.160 going to be able to get picked up in just a moment. Pops the opposite and 06:33:01.160 --> 06:33:05.800 sustained. Oh the pulse bomb is good but again the Suzer is just better. 06:33:05.800 --> 06:33:10.040 TVNT goes down and Shai is just dominating. 06:33:10.040 --> 06:33:15.260 Webugemi in control now as TVNT pushes quite deep. Obviously relying on the 06:33:15.260 --> 06:33:18.820 cardiac overdrive timing but couldn't get anything going there after funny 06:33:18.820 --> 06:33:23.780 Astro. Dropped early again and that's been one of the stories so far. Webugemi 06:33:23.780 --> 06:33:28.420 putting a lot of pressure onto Twisted Mind's Lucio player. That's half of the 06:33:28.420 --> 06:33:31.860 three minutes gone already. I mean they're not finishing with a minute, Johnny. 06:33:31.860 --> 06:33:36.540 There's just no all over minutes, you know. 20 seconds to go, there's just no 06:33:36.540 --> 06:33:40.660 way, not at this point. TVNT's just trying to get in, get out, see if he can 06:33:40.660 --> 06:33:43.420 force a call down or two. 06:33:44.620 --> 06:33:49.140 This bastard is so scary. Have to pay around him. 06:33:49.140 --> 06:33:53.540 I forgot the TVNT was just super low, already a cardiac overdrive popped yet. 06:33:54.040 --> 06:33:56.040 But guess who's got another tire form? 06:33:56.040 --> 06:33:58.040 It's Shai, could just walk around the corner. 06:33:59.040 --> 06:34:01.340 This is so tough with Twisted Minds right now. 06:34:01.540 --> 06:34:03.740 They cannot come up with answers at all. 06:34:03.940 --> 06:34:05.440 To a level of a pilot. 06:34:05.440 --> 06:34:07.840 This is unlike Twisted Minds. 06:34:09.340 --> 06:34:12.940 It is so very difficult because at any time when gaming, 06:34:13.240 --> 06:34:15.640 they could swing in with this bastion 06:34:15.840 --> 06:34:17.740 and put pressure onto Twisted Minds, 06:34:17.740 --> 06:34:24.060 But they don't have a lot of defensive ability here now obviously paying the market here as well. Look at these rotations from twisted minds 06:34:24.380 --> 06:34:26.820 They're always going to be in a tough place with way beginning 06:34:27.620 --> 06:34:30.880 Okay, he's really low. There's the focus fire that's needed 06:34:31.980 --> 06:34:34.820 Well, the brush is gonna come in here for shy, but 06:34:35.580 --> 06:34:39.700 Should be done in Duster, but now shine these women behind them. Yeah, just kind of chill for now 06:34:39.940 --> 06:34:42.860 Have to wait for this next teamfight to get being placed 06:34:42.860 --> 06:34:44.500 But this is what I'm talking about with some minds 06:34:44.500 --> 06:34:49.640 They have to be worried about front and back on the Astro with the Sunbearer here crucial as we head into overtime 06:34:51.340 --> 06:34:54.180 Now we'll see if that leaf and get a nice post bomb here 06:34:55.460 --> 06:35:01.820 CBNC a thousand HP now in the cage Marcus trapped in here as well as the high new from quarters good for one 06:35:03.180 --> 06:35:05.980 Annihilation Nemesis for all use for Sunzo 06:35:06.380 --> 06:35:11.100 Those twisted minds in OT should be out to largest one in 06:35:11.500 --> 06:35:13.220 Shaiqio's Astro 06:35:13.220 --> 06:35:15.220 It's all for naught. 06:35:16.060 --> 06:35:19.860 A minute each in the time bank now Johnny. Just too many ultimates. 06:35:19.860 --> 06:35:21.860 We're twisted minds that time. 06:35:22.180 --> 06:35:28.940 And they end up completing the map as well. Either team gets a minute each here to try and go again. 06:35:30.020 --> 06:35:33.500 And if neither team does it, we're headed for a draw. 06:35:35.500 --> 06:35:38.300 Classic. Come on, we need a couple of draws at the tournament. 06:35:38.300 --> 06:35:40.300 I've got one going. A couple? 06:35:40.300 --> 06:35:43.980 This is peak Overwatch right here, and I want to see maximum maps. 06:35:47.980 --> 06:35:53.740 Crowd's so ready for whether to kind of beat that lower bracket curse. 06:35:55.260 --> 06:36:00.780 I mean, this is a team that's been hunting for a major trophy for many years now. 06:36:02.300 --> 06:36:05.900 They won't compete with the very best in the world, but as of recent, 06:36:07.100 --> 06:36:09.260 just haven't been able to secure the title yet. 06:36:09.260 --> 06:36:11.260 haven't got their hands on that trophy. 06:36:12.260 --> 06:36:15.260 And so obviously bringing in Lee Sui Min and Maka into the mix here, 06:36:16.260 --> 06:36:20.260 way beginning, looking to increase their ceiling potential 06:36:20.260 --> 06:36:22.260 to try and compete with the very best. 06:36:22.260 --> 06:36:24.260 And Twisted Minds is one of them, the reigning world champs. 06:36:26.260 --> 06:36:28.260 The singular minute to defend against, 06:36:28.260 --> 06:36:31.260 and they've decided you know what, we are just going to opt in for the Cat Bastion. 06:36:34.260 --> 06:36:35.260 You got a minute to go. 06:36:35.260 --> 06:36:42.260 It's a great defensive rollout composition that works against everything. 06:36:42.260 --> 06:36:45.260 Leaves on Reaper. 06:36:45.260 --> 06:36:47.260 Against this comp. 06:36:47.260 --> 06:36:50.260 Reapers are really solid hero in the meta now. 06:36:50.260 --> 06:36:55.260 Because of that long range shot available to you after the recent change. 06:36:55.260 --> 06:36:57.260 Only have 40 seconds to go right now. 06:36:57.260 --> 06:36:59.260 There's no great Reaper target. 06:36:59.260 --> 06:37:02.260 A lot of pressure is put on the shy for the minute. 06:37:02.260 --> 06:37:06.420 So low. That's not a good start, but the end of killing is simple. 06:37:07.220 --> 06:37:09.620 Using Bastion is more of a distraction if I like that. 06:37:09.620 --> 06:37:13.620 TVNT has to let that kill go and Lee Soo Min didn't have the Frosters available. 06:37:14.100 --> 06:37:17.620 Leave his 1 HP as well. They're able to just stay up in the hotel though. 06:37:19.060 --> 06:37:21.060 Living for now. 20 seconds to go. J-Woo. 06:37:21.060 --> 06:37:23.460 That's a huge pick on Tamarka. They have to reset. 06:37:23.860 --> 06:37:26.340 They've got to go again. You can't afford to lose anybody else now. 06:37:26.340 --> 06:37:27.940 But it's 10 seconds. Shai's going to die. 06:37:28.340 --> 06:37:30.740 Oh, J-Woo gets another kill. 06:37:30.740 --> 06:37:36.740 10 seconds to go Johnny someone's gonna touch no one can no one can son so no way near 06:37:46.260 --> 06:37:48.680 He touched half a second there, but 06:37:52.940 --> 06:37:57.660 It was not enough the cats was not enough, but he got the touch you know the touch you didn't get the touch 06:37:58.100 --> 06:37:59.860 It did his best 06:37:59.860 --> 06:38:02.380 All right, so twist in mind some minute on the timer here 06:38:05.540 --> 06:38:09.340 If they extend this lead to two woe in this series man 06:38:11.060 --> 06:38:17.040 Absolutely, you can't just get yourself into here. That draw would be huge for way boo massive 06:38:19.740 --> 06:38:25.640 But they you just need of all the time you just need a single kill 06:38:25.640 --> 06:38:32.520 And that is what the Cap action team is just very good at just getting that single pick early and 06:38:33.440 --> 06:38:35.440 with how 06:38:35.480 --> 06:38:40.280 Shy and Alicia Miniman playing Alicia Min's been phenomenal on the cap. We're especially with the Alts like 06:38:41.880 --> 06:38:45.960 It's really been going for it. They can't get crushed can't get crushed and 06:38:47.240 --> 06:38:51.000 Realistically, I mean there were a couple of teamfights in this minute now 06:38:51.000 --> 06:38:56.560 and you can't sit back on this defense either because if you just sit back you 06:38:56.560 --> 06:39:01.620 end up giving so much positioning to twist their minds on the offense Quartz 06:39:01.620 --> 06:39:05.280 is going to make the most out of it on this bastion as well so Waybuu gaming 06:39:05.280 --> 06:39:10.920 for this one minute here have to be proactive have to keep making place at 06:39:10.920 --> 06:39:17.520 the scary prospect of going 0-1-2 all right trying to bail out each other's 06:39:17.520 --> 06:39:20.360 forms as well 06:39:21.000 --> 06:39:23.000 I 06:39:25.080 --> 06:39:28.880 Was just waiting for the swing and I was for literally waiting 06:39:29.440 --> 06:39:33.320 For someone else. Oh, there it is. There's the form. They're gonna try and go first it 06:39:33.760 --> 06:39:38.760 Try on the ground already both defensive edges. He's going straight over towards shy before to so long 06:39:40.360 --> 06:39:44.880 So close the crowd can feel it to the TV and TN to lose the map that's not good 06:39:44.880 --> 06:39:49.040 They need to reset and TV and T Johnny needs to also die or get mech back 06:39:49.040 --> 06:39:54.160 60% already though, and J-Woo should be able to cap the point. 06:39:54.160 --> 06:39:57.040 They're going to try and trade the back line. 06:39:57.040 --> 06:40:00.040 10 seconds to go, now this is looking like a draw. 06:40:00.040 --> 06:40:02.040 Wapoo, I think they've just gone and done it. 06:40:02.040 --> 06:40:06.040 The DMEC on TVMT, he's got 99% but he's going to get remade. 06:40:06.040 --> 06:40:08.040 Sure, but where's the touch? Has to come in. 06:40:08.040 --> 06:40:11.040 J-Woo dies! Good draw! 06:40:14.040 --> 06:40:16.040 No way! 06:40:16.040 --> 06:40:26.760 The solo D-Mec on TV and T-Johnny, they left the baby Diva, they don't leave him. 06:40:26.760 --> 06:40:31.120 He respawns, gets mech, they fight. 06:40:31.120 --> 06:40:39.040 Absolutely massive draw by Wable Gaming and not go down into that 0-2 hole here in the 06:40:39.040 --> 06:40:41.480 lower bracket. 06:40:41.480 --> 06:40:44.440 We restart, essentially it's the second map here now. 06:40:44.440 --> 06:40:47.920 They get to pick another map in the pool once more. 06:40:47.920 --> 06:40:49.440 See where they take us next. 06:40:49.440 --> 06:40:55.840 Where would you guys, if you're old? 06:40:55.840 --> 06:40:59.040 Where'd they get me? 06:40:59.040 --> 06:41:03.000 Well they're looking quite competitive on this get-tie cat and the bastion. 06:41:03.000 --> 06:41:07.320 So going into this series, talked about the Lucio Kiriko, how comfortable they are playing 06:41:07.320 --> 06:41:09.120 a composition like that. 06:41:09.120 --> 06:41:13.400 But maybe after what they saw in Oasis, they're feeling, ah, we want to stay competitive here. 06:41:13.400 --> 06:41:17.400 We actually want to play what is matter. We want to play this fast and we feel like that is the better chance 06:41:17.400 --> 06:41:20.400 against a team like Twisted Minds. 06:41:22.400 --> 06:41:26.400 Obviously having played the hybrid map already, you cannot go to something like a Numbani now. 06:41:26.400 --> 06:41:29.400 You could go to Rialto if you like and I scored map. 06:41:31.400 --> 06:41:33.400 We have to be aware of the picks and the bans as well. 06:41:34.400 --> 06:41:36.400 There you go. The map six, the variant. 06:41:37.400 --> 06:41:39.400 We were ready for it. We had the graphics ready. 06:41:39.400 --> 06:41:40.400 It's ready. 06:41:42.000 --> 06:41:44.040 I love a map 6. Come on now. 06:41:44.040 --> 06:41:46.040 We need one per major. 06:41:46.040 --> 06:41:47.040 One per major. 06:41:47.040 --> 06:41:48.480 We traveled all the way here. 06:41:48.480 --> 06:41:50.600 We might as well get a 6 map series. 06:41:50.600 --> 06:41:54.800 He says we need two draws in a major and one map 6. 06:41:54.800 --> 06:41:56.800 I don't make the rules. 06:41:56.800 --> 06:41:58.200 I'm glad, honestly. 06:42:00.160 --> 06:42:03.280 I think you probably should go to something like a realtor here. 06:42:03.280 --> 06:42:05.800 I mean, it's very scary 06:42:05.800 --> 06:42:08.200 if you are way beginning to go to a map like that 06:42:08.200 --> 06:42:15.440 because of what we've seen from Twisted Minds in the past, but they've already utilized the Cat Band back on Oasis 06:42:15.440 --> 06:42:19.400 and so if you are a team like Wave or you feel like, okay, we can protect the Bastion, 06:42:19.400 --> 06:42:23.000 we're guaranteed to be able to play the big meta composition for now. 06:42:23.700 --> 06:42:27.900 And based on the look of this King's Row, I feel like they learned throughout, they got better and better. 06:42:27.900 --> 06:42:30.700 And they're saying it's really competitive with the reigning World Champs. 06:42:33.500 --> 06:42:37.000 Well, we'll see what they want to pick. Obviously, when it does, if we do end up hitting the map 5, 06:42:37.000 --> 06:42:43.400 The map pool does get reset, so when the 9-6 comes around, they could pick anything again. 06:42:44.600 --> 06:42:46.200 Do I have to keep in mind, if we get that far? 06:42:46.900 --> 06:42:47.900 That would be if they can. 06:42:48.000 --> 06:42:50.200 They wouldn't go to something like a circuit real. 06:42:51.000 --> 06:42:51.200 Chill. 06:42:51.200 --> 06:42:51.900 That is for sure. 06:42:51.900 --> 06:42:55.600 I don't think either team would want to pick something like a circuit real in this one. 06:42:56.000 --> 06:42:59.900 The Rado, not to be sure about that either, so I think we all just have a really good pick here. 06:43:00.700 --> 06:43:06.400 Obviously, maybe they'll play spoiler, pick push or something, but I don't see it for the minute. 06:43:06.400 --> 06:43:10.840 Unless they really want to go lose your carry then I could defend something like a rune sappy, Joe 06:43:11.880 --> 06:43:13.880 I can agree with that 06:43:13.920 --> 06:43:17.720 I'm just I'm just saying things. He's just saying words. Hey 06:43:18.720 --> 06:43:20.720 That's what we got you here for 06:43:21.360 --> 06:43:24.720 Say some words every now and then that's what we do. Hey 06:43:26.520 --> 06:43:28.280 All right 06:43:28.280 --> 06:43:30.280 Mr. Minds as well 06:43:30.680 --> 06:43:36.120 We tend to ban the Bastion to that's still like an available ban. Yeah, I think you gotta protect it 06:43:36.400 --> 06:43:42.040 Probably protect Van de Bastion if you are way beginning and DPS just by an um, just a 06:43:43.200 --> 06:43:45.200 sojourn 06:43:45.320 --> 06:43:47.320 Symmetra Summature yeah 06:43:47.520 --> 06:43:49.040 We saw earlier the Virtus Pro 06:43:49.040 --> 06:43:53.120 They were quite happy to play the Symmetra because obviously flipping the map 06:43:53.480 --> 06:43:59.880 Steal the jetpack cat and the Bastion have a difficult time to instantly react to a Symmetra teleporter 06:44:00.080 --> 06:44:04.920 It's just a faster way to rotate and so you could throw the opponent off guard a little bit 06:44:04.920 --> 06:44:10.920 If you get something like a Symmetra and a Cassidy going, and the Cassidy has already been deployed as well, been banned. 06:44:11.920 --> 06:44:22.920 And so, the later this series is going to progress, it's actually something Twisted Minds have talked about, obviously, is the fact that they feel like they get better and better as the series progress, because they are so comfortable when Vans have been utilized. 06:44:22.920 --> 06:44:23.920 Yeah. 06:44:23.920 --> 06:44:27.920 And they get to play their own game now, very good at it, mosses of it. 06:44:30.920 --> 06:44:31.920 Have a look. 06:44:31.920 --> 06:44:38.520 look rune is soppy here we go I mean I yeah I'm in the same way that Johnny I 06:44:38.520 --> 06:44:45.320 think you banned DPS to weather we did actually see all gamers they did play 06:44:45.320 --> 06:44:49.360 the Jepacat Bastion there as well yeah so some legendary Diva bombs come through 06:44:49.360 --> 06:44:55.680 with the oh the Mag Diva bomb gang oh that was great whipped around the corner 06:44:55.680 --> 06:45:01.440 it's a new meta we're all learning of the fly here a little bit we're pushing 06:45:01.440 --> 06:45:07.440 The envelope seeing where we can get away playing the cat and the bastion and so far looks like teams are feeling quite comfortable here 06:45:07.440 --> 06:45:09.440 We're in a sappy as well far ban 06:45:10.000 --> 06:45:13.200 Gonna protect an amalgam team 06:45:14.320 --> 06:45:19.740 Yeah, and that guarantees of course TVNP. He's able to get away playing the diva if need be there as well 06:45:19.740 --> 06:45:33.980 Yeah, look at this, these bands as well. Cassidy, Genji, Barra, like, and they hit the DPS man. 06:45:33.980 --> 06:45:41.820 They really want to protect that Bastion. They feel like it's pretty good for them, so far. 06:45:41.820 --> 06:45:47.740 Yeah, I want to keep Tristan Mines DPS on their toes, that's for sure. 06:45:47.740 --> 06:45:50.940 So is this Sunso dropping the Saria here once more? 06:45:50.940 --> 06:45:54.340 We saw that it was the preference of his on Oasis, alright? 06:45:54.340 --> 06:45:59.340 And so now you're probably thinking, okay, well TVNT, maybe he goes towards something like a Comfort Pick, like a D.Va. 06:45:59.340 --> 06:46:05.840 That means that Counterwatch 101, we want to feel like we play the Saria as a really good meta pick here as well. 06:46:05.840 --> 06:46:07.940 We can play that into the D.Va if need be. 06:46:07.940 --> 06:46:13.140 If we see Cat Bastion though, the Saria would kind of be left out to dry. 06:46:13.140 --> 06:46:20.140 not typically a hero you would play too much with the Bastion but it's been done before. 06:46:20.140 --> 06:46:22.780 Let's load on in. 06:46:22.780 --> 06:46:28.380 Runisafi picked by Webogaming, China's number one and EMEA's number one fighting out in 06:46:28.380 --> 06:46:31.500 the lower bracket to stay into the competition. 06:46:31.500 --> 06:46:40.500 First of three, King's row is a draw so we're going again here, going to lock in. 06:46:40.500 --> 06:46:51.300 Got a look again, heading into this third map here. 06:46:51.300 --> 06:47:09.140 Webogaming, this was a comfort map pick of them, the Baskin-Bakas. 06:47:09.140 --> 06:47:15.140 But you need to keep the energy going. Oh yeah. That's been channeled to the players. 06:47:15.140 --> 06:47:21.140 They're going to feed off that energy. And on the back of a very well-earned draw as well. 06:47:21.140 --> 06:47:25.140 Feels like Wayba Gaming has some momentum going into this run of something. 06:47:25.140 --> 06:47:29.140 So when Marcus got an Oversleek ring... 06:47:29.140 --> 06:47:37.140 That is back keeps getting brought up. Yes indeed. He won the 2023 Florida Mayhem Oversleek Championship. 06:47:37.140 --> 06:47:39.140 I haven't brought it up yet, so it's new to me. 06:47:42.140 --> 06:47:45.140 It's brought up here once in a while, as you see the rollout come through here. 06:47:45.140 --> 06:47:49.140 Both teams are going to play the D.Va. Be expected. 06:47:49.140 --> 06:47:52.140 But this time around, we're already giving our team opting for the Bastion, 06:47:52.140 --> 06:47:56.140 while Twisted Minds putting Quartz onto this Cassidy instead. 06:47:56.140 --> 06:48:01.140 So again, you've got to be so prepared for the Bastion flying in, out of nowhere, 06:48:01.140 --> 06:48:05.140 trying to collapse with Leave on this tracer as well. 06:48:05.140 --> 06:48:07.940 A lot of heads up play required from just reminding this one. 06:48:07.940 --> 06:48:08.940 Yeah, a lot of it. 06:48:08.940 --> 06:48:10.940 Sons are going really low there. 06:48:10.940 --> 06:48:13.540 Here, Joe, we can actually snipe this kill on to leave. 06:48:13.540 --> 06:48:15.340 I think he's going to give them an opportunity. 06:48:15.340 --> 06:48:18.540 So, Blink's makin' a quick recall. 06:48:18.540 --> 06:48:23.340 Um, I want to try and take care of this spot here. 06:48:23.340 --> 06:48:24.940 I mean, they're trying to put a shine on him 06:48:24.940 --> 06:48:26.540 where he can jump onto this back line. 06:48:26.540 --> 06:48:27.140 Uh-oh. 06:48:27.140 --> 06:48:29.140 I mean, Quartz is so healthy, though. 06:48:29.140 --> 06:48:29.940 Good matrix. 06:48:29.940 --> 06:48:31.940 Scythe Tyreform's going to run out in just a moment. 06:48:31.940 --> 06:48:33.140 I mean, he's still shooting at it. 06:48:33.140 --> 06:48:38.220 it gets it too. Symbol maybe haven't hit the reload there unfortunately. It's funny. 06:48:38.220 --> 06:48:43.740 Astro follows it back to spawn. Just so oppressive. You have to kite around, stay 06:48:43.740 --> 06:48:47.260 away from this bastion for so long and yet when the third form ends, the pressure 06:48:47.260 --> 06:48:51.340 just never ends from a player like Shai there as well. So if you're in the 06:48:51.340 --> 06:48:55.700 castle you just got to hide out. You got to buy time for yourself. You only really 06:48:55.700 --> 06:49:00.340 have the speed boost to work with to try and navigate, deploy where you want the 06:49:00.340 --> 06:49:04.900 Cassidy to play from and try to get a pick I don't do someone like leave and put some pressure on the market for example 06:49:04.900 --> 06:49:10.980 But it's so difficult to play this Lucio composition and try to beat the jet back that fast and not playing it yourself 06:49:12.340 --> 06:49:15.940 Wrapping around here, Twisted Minds to going to give the way beginning this positioning here 06:49:17.380 --> 06:49:22.180 Yeah, then gonna take the higher ground, but realistically here quartz is gonna be outranged 06:49:23.460 --> 06:49:26.980 You're not doing too much from this distance. You can see him kind of chunking at shy 06:49:26.980 --> 06:49:29.260 But it's not doing much damage at all especially through the armor 06:49:29.740 --> 06:49:34.740 Mark has an earlier to turn rush here could deploy it makes things difficult. Wow, they're gonna go so quick 06:49:35.060 --> 06:49:37.620 Simba's got hidden 2% but this box gonna get away from them 06:49:37.620 --> 06:49:42.660 It's gonna run around the corner custom mines gonna have to be engaged in a very tough place. Yeah, they're gonna try and do it 06:49:42.660 --> 06:49:46.060 They're gonna lay the road on the road in a retard market 06:49:46.300 --> 06:49:52.180 If they chase Sunzo out Sunzo is not with his team right now. It's completely isolated. I think if Marker 06:49:52.180 --> 06:49:54.180 You can see it being tagged by J-Woo 06:49:54.180 --> 06:49:57.780 And just to get back, but yeah, that is a good isolation. 06:49:57.780 --> 06:50:00.580 Oh, the pulse is so good. 06:50:00.580 --> 06:50:04.940 They trade there, but you've lost your tank, so you've lost a lot of your front line. 06:50:04.940 --> 06:50:06.780 Shai is so low as well. 06:50:06.780 --> 06:50:10.380 Amazing stuff from Jai, with that giving his life to the teammate. 06:50:10.380 --> 06:50:12.580 Great play by Twisted Minds. 06:50:12.580 --> 06:50:13.980 Putting pressure onto Sansa early. 06:50:13.980 --> 06:50:18.180 I thought Wapu Gaming did a good job purchasing time there for the re-engaged, 06:50:18.180 --> 06:50:21.180 but Shai couldn't get back into the fight quick enough. 06:50:21.180 --> 06:50:31.540 And with that, Twisted Minds, picking up the D.Va player from the opposing team that's going to allow them to clean things up here as Funny Astro gets close to the sound barrier that won't be matched from way beginning. 06:50:31.540 --> 06:50:33.780 Astrid's in Minds, look around this corner. 06:50:35.980 --> 06:50:39.740 At least he's in M2, Johnny. Can't just go for a kidnap on somebody. 06:50:40.620 --> 06:50:42.300 Leaving to do it on Quartz.

The enemy team can't pick you apart. 07:01:29.760 --> 07:01:31.760 So that could be a composition we're seeing once more here. 07:01:36.760 --> 07:01:54.440 Alright, twisted minds on the defence. No Mizuki, they're just rocking the camp action. 07:01:54.440 --> 07:01:57.560 I trust them. They're the world champs, Jaws. They can do whatever they want. 07:01:57.560 --> 07:02:01.320 Got a good cigar. Here you go. 07:02:01.320 --> 07:02:02.320 Do it, Sunso. 07:02:02.320 --> 07:02:06.920 No, Rhyne on this map against the poke, come on man. 07:02:08.200 --> 07:02:15.440 Jake was in the green room earlier, vouching for Rhyne. I swear to everyone watching the broadcast, Jake did actually want to see some Rhyne hard. 07:02:15.440 --> 07:02:17.620 He thought it was a great swap, so I'm just putting it out there. 07:02:17.620 --> 07:02:22.220 Maybe not in the death pack as Bastion, I'm not going to put those kind of words in Jake's mouth, 07:02:22.220 --> 07:02:26.420 but it did at some point say that Rhyne hard was a good hero, so I'm keeping that one with me. 07:02:26.420 --> 07:02:30.260 Alright, it's going to be the Sigma, Mei, and the Mizuki. 07:02:30.260 --> 07:02:33.460 Maybe they're going to adapt here when they're seeing what's on the defense of Twisted Minds. 07:02:33.460 --> 07:02:37.220 Yeah, I think Shai's going to go change here. He wasn't heading back to spawn. 07:02:39.220 --> 07:02:43.380 He's going to go bash. I think it's just going to be the solo bash in here. There's no cat. 07:02:43.380 --> 07:02:46.420 They're going to stick with Lee Shim in on the Mizuki. 07:02:46.420 --> 07:02:50.260 Yeah, again, the strength of this composition comes from the way he can contest the objective, 07:02:50.260 --> 07:02:55.460 the payload here. And so Twisted Minds, they obviously have a timing around the turret form here. 07:02:55.460 --> 07:02:55.960 Wow. 07:02:55.960 --> 07:02:58.460 And a timing around the course is shooting heads apparently. 07:03:00.260 --> 07:03:02.860 I mean, if we're getting skills, it should be fairly effective with composition 07:03:02.860 --> 07:03:04.760 after this teamfight, it's all about laptop. 07:03:04.760 --> 07:03:06.760 He is such a sharp shooter. 07:03:06.760 --> 07:03:12.360 I mean, you can't be jumping, trying to like get from cover to cover without him ripping your head off. 07:03:12.360 --> 07:03:12.860 No. 07:03:12.860 --> 07:03:14.460 Full focus at all times. 07:03:15.160 --> 07:03:18.760 Have to be aware where the course is, and respect what is capable of. 07:03:19.960 --> 07:03:22.760 You know, we've seen a couple of iterations of the poke composition. 07:03:22.760 --> 07:03:28.260 And obviously Twisted Minds, they've had some time to think about what tiers they want to play in a composition like this. 07:03:28.260 --> 07:03:34.760 And if they feel like the damage output of a Bastion with J1 that tiero, and Quartz's ability to flick heads is good enough, 07:03:34.760 --> 07:03:40.260 maybe this is Twisted Minds' best response to this May composition we've been seeing. 07:03:40.260 --> 07:03:45.260 They've already got double DPS out of Twisted Minds, like that is so quickly being built up. 07:03:45.260 --> 07:03:48.760 Oh, and Lee just gets blown up by the Maid. 07:03:48.760 --> 07:03:56.760 They're gonna play a little bit safe, they don't want J.W.J. to get blown up here as well, but pow, I mean, that is a quick kill. 07:03:56.760 --> 07:04:00.760 And Johnny, look at the time back already, 2 minutes 20 seconds. 07:04:00.760 --> 07:04:04.760 And they haven't really had a fight to begin with. Leaves now, it's going to swap over to the Caster. 07:04:04.760 --> 07:04:05.760 This is K. 07:04:05.760 --> 07:04:06.760 This is Swap's hit. 07:04:06.760 --> 07:04:07.760 They're going to match it. 07:04:09.760 --> 07:04:10.760 I mean, that was mech. 07:04:10.760 --> 07:04:15.760 Gotta come up with the goods. It is, but it's just gonna be so hard to fight into this still. 07:04:15.760 --> 07:04:20.800 You haven't got much time left at all in these comps. They take a little while to get popping, especially on these slow corners 07:04:21.300 --> 07:04:25.680 They're gonna make it a little bit quicker now with this rush. Nice Rockville as a TV and T 07:04:26.400 --> 07:04:28.920 Just stops him from using the grass 07:04:30.160 --> 07:04:32.440 Quartz he manages to get one 07:04:32.440 --> 07:04:37.800 But can he actually stay up and alive here on the sidelines these more there's a little bit too much of a heavy lift for him 07:04:37.920 --> 07:04:39.920 He's still up when a simple goes down 07:04:40.440 --> 07:04:43.880 My goodness, I was still alive. There we go. Okay 07:04:43.880 --> 07:04:49.620 That's going to be point for Waveo. Twisted Mind is trying to make a play there as funny 07:04:49.620 --> 07:04:53.360 Astro can only heal one of his damage burst at the same time. Left J-Wood there on the 07:04:53.360 --> 07:04:57.980 Bastion, Waveo gaming capitalized beautifully on that and Quartz wasn't able to secure 07:04:57.980 --> 07:05:05.160 value with the Deadeye and they start rolling here on this second point. Trying to stay 07:05:05.160 --> 07:05:12.440 alive in this series but they have lots more to go. Yeah they're going to need to give 07:05:12.440 --> 07:05:16.040 a whole lot more than that, Jonny. They're still down two maps here. 07:05:16.040 --> 07:05:18.440 Flux is gonna hit a high noon from LeeV. 07:05:18.440 --> 07:05:22.340 Oh, SunZo with a better Flux onto TBNT. 07:05:22.740 --> 07:05:27.440 Quartz falls as well. Funny Ash throw down, and that is twisted mines. 07:05:28.440 --> 07:05:31.440 Just getting scrapped with his Wabo. 07:05:31.440 --> 07:05:34.840 Just walk over them. I mean, that is just a differential there from SunZo. 07:05:36.540 --> 07:05:37.740 Great play by Wibigame. 07:05:37.740 --> 07:05:40.640 Dead Eye as well coming through from LeeV. Can't underestimate that damage. 07:05:40.640 --> 07:05:44.680 TBNT is over to the deva to get the final contest here. They need the matrix 07:05:45.760 --> 07:05:48.200 Remove some of this damage give them a decent contest 07:05:52.020 --> 07:05:53.520 TBNT 07:05:53.520 --> 07:05:57.280 He's still gonna have to sell the spail out now. It's these human dives into the backers 07:05:58.640 --> 07:06:00.640 There's a pause. Oh 07:06:02.400 --> 07:06:04.400 Man 07:06:04.800 --> 07:06:06.800 I don't know what happened there 07:06:06.800 --> 07:06:09.600 I really hope that they didn't change the outcome of that fight. 07:06:09.600 --> 07:06:11.440 Yeah, I was a massive fight. 07:06:11.440 --> 07:06:14.600 Shia looking a little bit confused by those things. 07:06:14.600 --> 07:06:19.000 I think it's a Weibo call for the pause. 07:06:21.600 --> 07:06:23.400 I mean, that was just a chaotic fight. 07:06:24.000 --> 07:06:27.200 I lost my mind because I believe the accretion from Sunso knocked 07:06:28.000 --> 07:06:32.200 Forts out of the dead eye as they tried to make a play aggressively through the choke point. 07:06:32.200 --> 07:06:36.400 But two players dead here, four Weibo gaming, five versus three scenario. 07:06:36.800 --> 07:06:41.480 It's going to allow Twisted Minds to keep contesting this second point, and obviously that cap 07:06:41.960 --> 07:06:44.040 makes a huge difference in the outcome of this map. 07:06:46.280 --> 07:06:49.000 We'll get word on what this pause is for. 07:06:50.800 --> 07:06:51.720 Looks like it is... 07:06:52.400 --> 07:06:52.880 Oh, is it? 07:06:52.880 --> 07:06:53.840 There's an Admonis. 07:06:53.840 --> 07:06:54.640 Yeah, I think it's... 07:06:55.840 --> 07:06:57.560 A monitor issue, maybe, from Shine? 07:06:58.160 --> 07:06:59.960 He's got the monitor flipped the wrong way around. 07:07:00.880 --> 07:07:01.760 That was not... 07:07:01.760 --> 07:07:02.760 Yeah, bro. 07:07:02.760 --> 07:07:05.440 No, not like he was playing with that. 07:07:05.440 --> 07:07:06.080 Yep, yep. 07:07:06.800 --> 07:07:09.920 Chai doesn't need a monitor to play man, he just senses it. 07:07:09.920 --> 07:07:11.920 Maybe pull the hand bin. 07:07:11.920 --> 07:07:13.920 Oh yeah, the monitor. 07:07:13.920 --> 07:07:15.920 Yeah, 70 degrees. 07:07:15.920 --> 07:07:18.920 If no one's ever seen that, I'm sure there's many images online, 07:07:18.920 --> 07:07:22.920 but Hanbin basically played with this monitor almost parallel with himself. 07:07:22.920 --> 07:07:24.920 I don't know how he could have done it. 07:07:24.920 --> 07:07:26.920 You have to see the picture because me saying it is kind of unbelievable. 07:07:26.920 --> 07:07:28.920 It's just like, what? Will it kill the monitor? 07:07:28.920 --> 07:07:30.920 Yeah, it has to kill the monitor. 07:07:30.920 --> 07:07:32.920 Like a 72 degree angle, it's insane. 07:07:32.920 --> 07:07:34.920 Alright, well the monitor is working, so that's good news. 07:07:34.920 --> 07:07:35.920 That's good news. 07:07:35.920 --> 07:07:36.920 That is good news. 07:07:36.920 --> 07:07:46.120 All right, yeah, Sharjah's just adjusting it too to the preferred height. 07:07:46.120 --> 07:07:52.560 Hopefully this is just going to be the main issue and it's going to get resolved. 07:07:52.560 --> 07:07:57.440 Such a tough position to be in here now if you're the offense because you have to regain 07:07:57.440 --> 07:08:04.120 the ground, contest the defense high ground, but then also find the picks required in the 07:08:04.120 --> 07:08:09.240 proper team fight to secure this payload over the point now. After it looked like way beginning 07:08:09.240 --> 07:08:14.680 it's so much momentum on the back of that first point cap. Not able to secure the second point here. 07:08:16.200 --> 07:08:22.600 T20 is on Diva indeed, so had to use that to get back to the point to contest. 07:08:23.480 --> 07:08:25.560 Could be a bit more of a hindrance now if you're on the SIG. 07:08:29.160 --> 07:08:33.400 It does alter the matchup slightly for the tanks of course, not playing the Sigma mirror. 07:08:34.120 --> 07:08:37.880 But I still think Twisted Minds can get away with it because they have the high ground. 07:08:37.880 --> 07:08:43.200 That means that they can't play quite proactively with the D.Va in case they want to collapse on the enemy backline. 07:08:43.200 --> 07:08:45.540 Don't think they're going to survive in the neutral. 07:08:45.540 --> 07:08:47.600 The poke from the Sigma will just be too much. 07:08:47.600 --> 07:08:52.680 But Twisted Minds, they have an opportunity to make place here with this D.Va now. 07:08:52.680 --> 07:08:56.680 Even so, they might be at a disadvantage in the neutral fights. 07:08:56.680 --> 07:09:01.320 You want to pay them a little bit more quick if you're the D.Va team. 07:09:01.320 --> 07:09:05.720 Sigma team you can just kind of, you can't sit there and just poke away, whittle people down. 07:09:05.720 --> 07:09:09.480 It's going to be a slow poke and prod from the offense here to try and get that ground back. 07:09:09.480 --> 07:09:13.720 But once you have it, you should feel like you're in a really good position to neutralize the D.Va. 07:09:13.720 --> 07:09:14.920 Yeah. 07:09:14.920 --> 07:09:19.520 Christian Meisto, I feel like they are a team that kind of adapts to these kind of scenarios. 07:09:19.520 --> 07:09:25.520 I'm thinking back to the boot camp, where TVNT found himself on Wrecking Ball on the New Junk City. 07:09:25.520 --> 07:09:28.440 And you're thinking, okay, well TVNT is on the Wrecking Ball, like, 07:09:28.440 --> 07:09:32.880 not a great hero to be on New York City, but they clutched it out. They managed to make 07:09:32.880 --> 07:09:37.840 it happen and after the map, they were laughing on StealthTale. How do we make that happen? 07:09:37.840 --> 07:09:42.480 But that is Twisted Minds adapting to the heroes they are playing, despite the fact that it 07:09:42.480 --> 07:09:46.680 might not be the most optimal roster, the most optimal strategy. They're still finding 07:09:46.680 --> 07:09:50.960 a way to make that work, and TVNT already, great you appeared to be in with. 07:09:50.960 --> 07:09:55.160 Bit bigger of a tech issue than we once thought, so we're going to jump to a quick break. Don't 07:09:55.160 --> 07:10:00.200 go anywhere we've got twisted minds of Wayboo playing circle row coming up 07:12:25.160 --> 07:12:27.160 Just get along with me 07:12:31.160 --> 07:12:33.160 Is it right, and I know 07:12:36.160 --> 07:12:38.160 But I don't wanna think about it 07:12:39.160 --> 07:12:41.160 We are, we are 07:12:44.160 --> 07:12:46.160 There's nothing we can do about it 07:12:46.160 --> 07:12:48.160 Save yourself from being 07:12:49.160 --> 07:12:52.160 Intrude to who you are 07:13:25.160 --> 07:13:49.160 What's up, everybody? 07:13:49.160 --> 07:13:54.560 I'm here and for OWCS Tokyo, and I'm joined by everybody's favorite team, Twisted Minds. 07:13:54.560 --> 07:13:58.320 talking today with of course funny Astro and KSA and first guys I just got to ask 07:13:58.320 --> 07:14:01.440 what did you guys get into Japan and what's it been like here in your first 07:14:01.440 --> 07:14:04.880 few days? We got in last night we spent a couple of weeks before that in 07:14:04.880 --> 07:14:08.400 Korea so we've been bootcamping for very hard but yeah it's been just an amount 07:14:08.400 --> 07:14:12.440 of travel I think we're ready for the tournament now. As for me actually I had 07:14:12.440 --> 07:14:16.160 earlier than the team I came from Turkey I couldn't come to the bootcamp 07:14:16.160 --> 07:14:22.960 because I was sick but I had then just left the hotel. Is there any like one 07:14:22.960 --> 07:14:25.240 particular thing you really want to do while you're here in Japan. 07:14:25.240 --> 07:14:28.360 I lost my way out for some Japanese barbecue, it's pretty nice. 07:14:52.960 --> 07:15:21.960 I've been wondering these places, trying to find where I know I've been on. 07:15:21.960 --> 07:15:25.960 And I've seen too many faces 07:15:51.960 --> 07:15:54.020 you 07:16:21.960 --> 07:16:24.020 you 07:16:51.960 --> 07:16:54.020 you 07:17:21.960 --> 07:17:24.020 you 07:17:51.960 --> 07:17:54.020 you 07:18:21.960 --> 07:18:24.020 you 07:18:51.960 --> 07:18:54.020 you 07:19:21.960 --> 07:19:24.020 you 07:19:51.960 --> 07:19:54.020 you 07:20:21.960 --> 07:20:24.020 you 07:20:51.960 --> 07:20:54.020 you 07:21:21.960 --> 07:21:23.960 I 07:21:51.960 --> 07:21:54.760 They need all over my body 07:21:54.760 --> 07:21:56.760 Come on talk to me 07:21:56.760 --> 07:21:59.760 I want you on my body all the time 07:22:02.760 --> 07:22:04.560 Talk to me 07:22:04.560 --> 07:22:06.560 I want you on my body 07:22:06.560 --> 07:22:08.560 Feel the heat 07:22:08.560 --> 07:22:10.360 All over my body 07:22:10.360 --> 07:22:12.360 Come on talk to me 07:22:12.360 --> 07:22:15.360 I want you on my body all the time 07:22:18.360 --> 07:22:20.360 Talk to me 07:22:21.960 --> 07:22:23.960 Come on, wanna talk to me 07:22:26.280 --> 07:22:28.280 Talk to me 07:22:29.720 --> 07:22:31.720 Come on, wanna talk to me 07:22:51.960 --> 07:22:53.960 I 07:23:21.960 --> 07:23:23.960 Love got you 07:23:28.960 --> 07:23:30.960 Love got you 07:23:36.960 --> 07:23:38.960 Love got you 07:23:41.960 --> 07:23:43.960 Love got you 07:23:51.960 --> 07:23:53.960 No way that you 07:24:03.320 --> 07:24:09.560 Welcome back. Yes, we are indeed back. This is Johnny. We're in Japan's. Oh, no, that's not good whole show again 07:24:09.640 --> 07:24:14.120 We're just about to get into the next next next game. No the same game 07:24:14.120 --> 07:24:17.180 Well, it's for a shoot together together has been resolved. It's been a little while 07:24:17.180 --> 07:24:19.880 I need to run to the bathroom I sprinted past all production 07:24:19.880 --> 07:24:21.880 You did not have to say that to the camera, you did not have to say that. 07:24:21.880 --> 07:24:23.880 Anyway, anyway, we were out here all the time. 07:24:23.880 --> 07:24:24.880 Yeah, sure, sure. 07:24:24.880 --> 07:24:26.880 I was just going to give them a little peek behind the camera. 07:24:26.880 --> 07:24:27.880 What happened, Jaws? 07:24:27.880 --> 07:24:28.880 I already told them! 07:24:28.880 --> 07:24:30.880 It was a monitor issue and the issue has been resolved. 07:24:30.880 --> 07:24:33.880 So we will be unpausing the game in just a minute. 07:24:33.880 --> 07:24:38.880 Twist of mind, up 2-0 in this series after three maps being played. 07:24:38.880 --> 07:24:39.880 Yes. 07:24:39.880 --> 07:24:42.880 We're in the middle of map four, which is Circuit Real. 07:24:42.880 --> 07:24:47.880 And obviously very beginning, very close to finishing off that second point. 07:24:47.880 --> 07:24:54.520 progressing on to third but lost that previous teamfight and now forced to reset with twisted minds 07:24:54.520 --> 07:24:58.760 establishing the high ground once more on the second point defense. I will say and it worths 07:24:58.760 --> 07:25:06.520 kind of talking about is that the pause was very awkward although it was Webber are probably going 07:25:06.520 --> 07:25:10.520 to lose this fight if I remember correctly there are about two people that were dead on my both 07:25:10.520 --> 07:25:15.320 side. Yes it's a five versus three scenario as we're about to head back into the game very shortly. 07:25:15.320 --> 07:25:22.400 So I don't know I've seen worse like five or two three. What would you put percentage to bring this one back a 53 07:25:22.880 --> 07:25:24.880 8% and 8% 07:25:25.220 --> 07:25:29.160 Yeah, probably we'll have a jake confirm those loads for you. We'll have him compute 07:25:30.960 --> 07:25:32.960 Astro 07:25:33.400 --> 07:25:37.600 Number so far in this series so three maps faster here 07:25:39.280 --> 07:25:41.280 7.5k heels pretend 07:25:41.280 --> 07:25:48.880 Like you said, he's had a bit of a tough go here or early on in the tournament, adapting to these Korean teams as we reload back into the game. 07:25:48.880 --> 07:25:56.280 And the way the game is, they say, nope, we don't even want to take this 5 vs 3, we're going to head back into spawn, and we've got 2.45 on the time bank. 07:25:56.280 --> 07:25:58.280 8%. 07:25:58.280 --> 07:26:02.280 I don't know, what the hell 90% happened. 07:26:02.280 --> 07:26:05.280 Yeah, well that's true. That's very true. 07:26:05.280 --> 07:26:09.280 Like I said, 2.5 minutes now for WBG. 07:26:09.280 --> 07:26:11.920 Still rocking the cat-bashing of both teams. 07:26:11.920 --> 07:26:13.920 It's a given game. Off of the high ground. 07:26:13.920 --> 07:26:17.380 Oh, they tried to kidnap, but yeah, the Suzu came in clutch. 07:26:17.380 --> 07:26:18.880 Sun-Ten are moving forward. 07:26:18.880 --> 07:26:20.820 Fortunately, half of that wasn't by himself. 07:26:20.820 --> 07:26:22.820 T-Vents, he was pushing them into the front line. 07:26:23.320 --> 07:26:24.920 And it's all about T-Vents here. 07:26:24.920 --> 07:26:27.680 Here's Steve Apley, has to manage these booster cooldowns 07:26:27.680 --> 07:26:28.560 and combine with a team. 07:26:28.560 --> 07:26:30.220 DeadEye could be used here. 07:26:30.220 --> 07:26:31.620 He's going to use it straight over the top, 07:26:31.620 --> 07:26:32.720 and they're ready for this one. 07:26:33.120 --> 07:26:35.120 No, oh, you've got a matrix there. 07:26:35.520 --> 07:26:36.820 He's got it. He's got it. 07:26:36.820 --> 07:26:43.820 The focus by is too good, Matrix ran out, held that, Deliver basically is in tire duration. 07:26:43.820 --> 07:26:46.820 That is way with capping second. 07:26:46.820 --> 07:26:51.820 Alright, calm composed. Get the second point cap going as they roll on to third and J-Woo 07:26:51.820 --> 07:26:57.820 dropping really low, but he has enough sustain, enough healing from his teammates to stay alive in this one. 07:26:59.820 --> 07:27:03.820 Take a look at the ultimates. Quick reset going into this one, Sunso, has this flux. 07:27:03.820 --> 07:27:07.260 Past his flux, both Kiriko's working towards that Kitsunerash. 07:27:08.860 --> 07:27:10.620 Try to set up on the hike on here, give me a T. 07:27:11.260 --> 07:27:13.980 That armor is chunked off and now have to be careful. 07:27:14.540 --> 07:27:18.140 Have to be healed back up by his Kiriko, but it's going to forfeit some space, four way beginning. 07:27:18.780 --> 07:27:21.980 That was neat. Say, oh, the knee! Did you see that actually connected with Astro? 07:27:21.980 --> 07:27:27.500 He went super low, so he tries to get J.Woo in a good position, but shy, ends up going down first. 07:27:27.900 --> 07:27:31.260 A free form now for J.Woo, and should be a free fight on top of that. 07:27:31.260 --> 07:27:33.260 You think you can get an extra frag here? 07:27:33.260 --> 07:27:35.260 Pushing onto Sunzo, even if he can't lose mech, you too, too. 07:27:35.260 --> 07:27:36.260 He's low. 07:27:36.260 --> 07:27:37.260 Oh! 07:27:37.260 --> 07:27:40.260 The kid now gots no cancel there. 07:27:40.260 --> 07:27:45.260 Wabugaming end up not responding to this one with a giant flood. 07:27:45.260 --> 07:27:47.260 Simple force as Mark gets two. 07:27:47.260 --> 07:27:48.260 Sunzo got huge. 07:27:48.260 --> 07:27:50.260 What a flood from Sunzo. 07:27:50.260 --> 07:27:53.260 Wow, what a play and Mark are following up there as well. 07:27:53.260 --> 07:27:59.260 Saw an opportunity and capitalized on twisted mines being quite low after the initial skirmish. 07:27:59.260 --> 07:28:04.780 Now way beginning they're looking to close out this map. They're still putting pressure on nice native there 07:28:05.020 --> 07:28:08.180 TVNC not letting get that one close to spawn with his teammates 07:28:08.460 --> 07:28:13.340 Gonna put leaving a good spot as well. Oh shreds the high ground. Okay, not gonna use that high noon cat just yet 07:28:13.580 --> 07:28:15.580 Do all them available draws 07:28:16.820 --> 07:28:18.820 Cat noon 07:28:21.740 --> 07:28:23.740 Just better 07:28:23.740 --> 07:28:30.460 One minute and forty to go but they don't need the rest of that. 07:28:30.460 --> 07:28:31.460 Absolutely not. 07:28:31.460 --> 07:28:32.460 Wave of gaming. 07:28:32.460 --> 07:28:35.740 Finish that point in style. 07:28:35.740 --> 07:28:43.900 The tiniest bit of difference was enough. 07:28:43.900 --> 07:28:46.580 The channel time was quicker for Lee. 07:28:46.580 --> 07:28:50.580 He's the one to get that IKLs required to win the team fight. 07:28:55.580 --> 07:28:56.580 Wow. 07:28:58.580 --> 07:29:01.580 Unbelievably loud still. 07:29:03.580 --> 07:29:09.580 It feels only a matter of time before this team gets it going in this lower bracket. 07:29:09.580 --> 07:29:13.580 It's such a tough go over the last few internationals. 07:29:13.580 --> 07:29:15.580 You can never count these guys out. 07:29:15.580 --> 07:29:21.060 Yeah, I mean they are Chinese Overwatch legends shy and leave 07:29:22.060 --> 07:29:27.780 At the very beginning they were on separate teams. They haven't combined yet Chengdu hunters hangtose bark 07:29:28.420 --> 07:29:33.060 But they said if we want to have the best opportunity to win an international major 07:29:33.580 --> 07:29:36.960 Well have to join forces and they did so but yet 07:29:37.620 --> 07:29:41.940 Not able to get across that finish line not able to overcome some of these Korean teams 07:29:41.940 --> 07:29:45.180 and now they're facing the reigning world champions in Twisted Mines. They have a 07:29:45.180 --> 07:29:50.640 tremendous long path to go. If they want to end up winning this major, obviously 07:29:50.640 --> 07:29:57.420 already down 2-0 in this series, but you can't count these guys out. Three minutes 07:29:57.420 --> 07:30:02.700 could be pretty big difference. There's 1.38 on the time back for 07:30:02.700 --> 07:30:07.660 Wabble Gaming. They capped out with here. Twisted Mines keep going on the offense. 07:30:07.660 --> 07:30:14.660 Yeah, if they're gonna run the cat bash in both teams, just deciding you know what, it's actually the best course of action. 07:30:14.660 --> 07:30:16.660 TVNT on the D.Va. 07:30:18.660 --> 07:30:25.660 Leave and court. I mean, I said at the very start of this map, like, oh, this series is gonna be such an insane hit-scan duel. 07:30:26.660 --> 07:30:28.660 And it's proven to be just that. 07:30:28.660 --> 07:30:30.660 Oh, that's what happens. 07:30:30.660 --> 07:30:34.660 The D.Va Sigma, you're going to get those accretions to your face. 07:30:34.660 --> 07:30:37.820 What pressure on the way we're getting here though? 07:30:37.820 --> 07:30:39.900 Who's in mines looking to swing perhaps? 07:30:39.900 --> 07:30:41.580 Yeah, should I really low actually? 07:30:41.580 --> 07:30:47.380 I have to back up to this second corner, or third corner I guess. 07:30:47.380 --> 07:30:51.980 Right into your time. 07:30:51.980 --> 07:30:54.500 It's all about the bastions in this one. 07:30:54.500 --> 07:30:59.620 Yeah, just trying to make the Sigma use cooldowns. 07:30:59.620 --> 07:31:00.620 Nice dodge to the rock. 07:31:00.620 --> 07:31:01.620 He's in there. 07:31:01.620 --> 07:31:06.800 though. Good shoes you coming in from simple saves today. It's gonna earn himself a rush too. They're gonna pop his straight away. 07:31:06.800 --> 07:31:11.240 I'd imagine right around this corner. Yep, that's exactly what they're gonna do. Marcus 3% away by the way. 07:31:11.240 --> 07:31:14.340 They come over the kill here. It's gonna be gold, but no, Mark, it gets it in time. 07:31:14.340 --> 07:31:16.820 Is it up high here to the cap? Here we go again! 07:31:16.820 --> 07:31:19.660 Jai's already dead. Oh, not quite. 07:31:20.060 --> 07:31:25.820 Everybody's scarring for cover though, and Niamh is completely isolated as Quartz is a big indenate. 07:31:25.820 --> 07:31:30.900 Oh, we're on the floor. All the way back. Oh, and Quartz joins us. 07:31:31.620 --> 07:31:34.260 What an unbelievable flux there! 07:31:34.260 --> 07:31:36.980 Sons though, just takes course out completely. 07:31:36.980 --> 07:31:39.140 A ridiculous turn around for Wave-O. 07:31:39.140 --> 07:31:44.420 I mean the peel into the indoors area to stay protected from the dead eye. 07:31:44.420 --> 07:31:49.940 It was so impeccably fast and that meant of course that you can't rotate. 07:31:49.940 --> 07:31:51.940 Put pressure on the Twisted Minds backline. 07:31:51.940 --> 07:31:54.660 In the beginning they turned things around with the Gravitic Flux. 07:31:54.660 --> 07:31:55.780 Two minutes off the timer. 07:31:56.500 --> 07:31:59.460 Every single teamfight matters in this one. 07:31:59.460 --> 07:32:02.460 Let's say look to chunk off this time-bank from PrusaMines on the attack. 07:32:06.960 --> 07:32:08.960 That's even really low. 07:32:08.960 --> 07:32:13.960 And like you said, those rocks are going to be here and you constantly, if you're playing this D.Va or to dodge. 07:32:14.960 --> 07:32:15.960 They're at form. 07:32:18.960 --> 07:32:20.960 PrusaMines has a better timing here. 07:32:20.960 --> 07:32:22.460 If they want to go. 07:32:23.460 --> 07:32:24.460 Hi Nune. 07:32:24.460 --> 07:32:24.960 Uh oh. 07:32:24.960 --> 07:32:25.460 Cat Nune. 07:32:25.460 --> 07:32:30.700 Oh, strength this guy on! He just keeps on delivering for Wayvo Gaming. 07:32:31.620 --> 07:32:34.500 TVNT's had a mech fight done. One minute and 20 left. 07:32:37.140 --> 07:32:41.940 He's been on a map of the flying dead ice so far. Quartz is going to drop quite low here. 07:32:41.940 --> 07:32:45.140 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Even more stagger. 07:32:46.380 --> 07:32:47.660 More time wasted. 07:32:50.380 --> 07:32:54.020 This time it's going to be Twisted Meister and Quartz, 98%. 07:32:55.460 --> 07:32:58.460 Let's see if they can get things going with their own dead-eye combination here. 07:32:58.960 --> 07:33:00.760 But, this is the meta now. 07:33:00.760 --> 07:33:02.660 Wave of gaming, they're going to be prepared. 07:33:02.660 --> 07:33:05.160 Tracking that ultimate intently. 07:33:05.460 --> 07:33:07.160 Catnune. That's it. 07:33:07.660 --> 07:33:09.160 Catnune. Catnune. 07:33:10.160 --> 07:33:11.260 First to mind, we've got it. 07:33:11.560 --> 07:33:12.660 The Bastion for now. 07:33:13.460 --> 07:33:14.860 J-Will with the turret form. 07:33:16.660 --> 07:33:18.960 They both actually use the right T-Vents, he's really low though. 07:33:18.960 --> 07:33:24.160 They can use the E to actually try and absorb all those heals, he's shy, takes down Quartz. 07:33:24.160 --> 07:33:31.160 There's 40 seconds to go in TBNT. He goes for the remake! 07:33:31.160 --> 07:33:38.160 Things are just not going with it. Twisted Mind is way right now. They have one more opportunity in this one. 07:33:38.160 --> 07:33:44.160 And the Kitsuna rushes have been deployed. TBNT swaps over to Ramatra along with the Vino. 07:33:44.160 --> 07:33:47.160 It's just going to be for the extra speed I've spawned temporarily. 07:33:47.160 --> 07:33:51.160 TBNT is going to be there for Ramatra. Provides some survivability here on the point. 07:33:51.160 --> 07:33:55.160 But the ultimates from Waybegaming, this flux, Leeb coming up on the dead-eye, 07:33:55.160 --> 07:33:57.660 steals so many tools at the Waybegaming's disposal. 07:33:57.660 --> 07:33:59.660 They got Cat Noon again. 07:33:59.660 --> 07:34:04.660 Leeb pops it straight to the skies, no where to run, no where to hide. 07:34:04.660 --> 07:34:06.660 Leeb has done it again. 07:34:06.660 --> 07:34:09.660 And he's going to isolate Fonny Astra as well. 07:34:10.660 --> 07:34:13.660 I mean, there's nothing this man can't do. 07:34:14.660 --> 07:34:19.660 Waybeau gaming comeback in a big way, on a certain way out. 07:34:21.160 --> 07:34:30.160 They're not out of this. Two and one. We're going to a map five now Johnny. 07:34:30.160 --> 07:34:35.160 Flying cowboy dip. That's one way to get some momentum back in this series. 07:34:35.160 --> 07:34:41.160 The crowd fired up at leave comb, buying with Lee Sun-min on the deathback cat. 07:34:41.160 --> 07:34:47.160 They have the upper time every single time with those Jedi combinations. 07:34:47.160 --> 07:34:53.880 And now they have a recipe for success as well. The Sigma composition working our favor. We'll feel comfortable in this one 07:34:53.880 --> 07:34:58.880 It's going to be twisted mind-smap pick, but at least weibo gaming have a composition they can trust 07:35:02.560 --> 07:35:06.880 Like you said at the very end there as well everything relied on getting a good 07:35:07.560 --> 07:35:09.120 high noon 07:35:09.120 --> 07:35:11.120 or dead eye with 07:35:11.240 --> 07:35:13.960 The cat flying you over the top and twist of mind 07:35:13.960 --> 07:35:17.840 You want to be able to if you're playing your own cat you want to be able to like push around the corner 07:35:17.840 --> 07:35:20.820 But as soon as leave kind of cut you off. It's like you can't go anywhere 07:35:21.880 --> 07:35:25.600 Well, this is a new kind of composition. We've seen we haven't really seen this 07:35:26.080 --> 07:35:31.800 Adaptation too much of the Cassidy with the Bastion and we saw through the middle of this series obviously 07:35:31.800 --> 07:35:36.800 We I mean we've seen cat and dead ice being combined since the very release of the hero at the boot camp 07:35:37.300 --> 07:35:43.160 But to this effect really have to respect it both teams trading back and forth in this one 07:35:43.160 --> 07:35:51.000 So let's first of all, it's on the map point, so now they're in the hot seat, they choose 07:35:51.000 --> 07:35:54.600 the map, they choose to ban first. 07:35:54.600 --> 07:36:02.560 Because this is going to be our fifth map coming up, we're only reduced to flash point 07:36:02.560 --> 07:36:04.440 being the map picks available here. 07:36:04.440 --> 07:36:09.840 Now we've seen a lot of new junk cities so far for teams that don't want to play the 07:36:09.840 --> 07:36:11.760 Bastion jet that cat. 07:36:11.760 --> 07:36:21.760 And obviously, if you're basing this from Oasis, you could say Twisted Minds, they are the better teams when it comes to not playing the Bastion Jetpack Admeta as much. 07:36:21.760 --> 07:36:30.760 So maybe they want to go back to a new drunk city, maybe they want to go back to Basics in some of these more closed indoors kind of areas we have available on that map. 07:36:31.760 --> 07:36:34.760 Oh, there's so many unreal highlights from Leave. 07:36:34.760 --> 07:36:35.760 It's insane. 07:36:36.760 --> 07:36:38.760 Quicker at the draw. 07:36:41.760 --> 07:36:44.760 I mean, people have been going to NJC to get away from the cat-bashing. 07:36:44.760 --> 07:36:45.760 Yeah. 07:36:45.760 --> 07:36:46.760 Sorry. 07:36:47.760 --> 07:36:50.760 If you're just a mind-boggling, you're happy with how this is going. 07:36:50.760 --> 07:36:52.760 I mean, NJC seems like the perfect place. 07:36:52.760 --> 07:36:53.760 Wow. 07:36:53.760 --> 07:36:54.760 What a rock as well. 07:36:54.760 --> 07:36:55.760 Are you kidding me? 07:36:55.760 --> 07:37:00.760 We didn't see that, because we were first like POV of leave. 07:37:00.760 --> 07:37:02.760 Ridiculous. 07:37:04.760 --> 07:37:08.760 So I think that that happened once before in the map, right before the pause, 07:37:08.760 --> 07:37:09.760 but we had to double-check that. 07:37:09.760 --> 07:37:16.760 But if that is the case, that would have been two dead eyes that were cancelled by Sunso's accretions. 07:37:16.760 --> 07:37:17.760 Sunso is in presence. 07:37:17.760 --> 07:37:18.760 Why do you want one? 07:37:20.760 --> 07:37:21.760 My dude is popping off. 07:37:21.760 --> 07:37:25.760 Obviously very comfortable playing the Sigma into a hero like D.Va for TB&T. 07:37:25.760 --> 07:37:29.760 But I think you can just look at the performance, the individual performance on this hero itself. 07:37:29.760 --> 07:37:31.760 And say that was just not a matchup diff. 07:37:31.760 --> 07:37:36.760 That was Sunso putting on a display on one of his better heroes available to him. 07:37:36.760 --> 07:37:37.760 Yeah. 07:37:37.760 --> 07:37:38.760 Oh yeah. 07:37:39.760 --> 07:37:47.920 normally known as Billy Dang. And with how this is going now, it feels like a momentum 07:37:47.920 --> 07:37:54.840 shift pause in a way, right? Where like, we're running this one home. Hey, twist of mind, 07:37:54.840 --> 07:37:58.540 it's up to you how you want to get back in. You've already banned the cat. They banned 07:37:58.540 --> 07:38:04.800 cat on map one. They did indeed. So now it just comes into question. Do you feel like 07:38:04.800 --> 07:38:08.360 You have to deploy a ban on something like a Bastion instead without the cat 07:38:09.240 --> 07:38:14.480 You know Bastion is still a hero we see here and now leaves him in stats being showcased for you here 07:38:14.480 --> 07:38:17.080 And like you said, I like the practice has coming in from this guy 07:38:17.080 --> 07:38:23.520 He's obviously trying to make place with the ultimate because you can get that initial stun as well to set up the rest of your team 07:38:23.520 --> 07:38:26.940 But if you can get on popular an opponent drag them into your own team 07:38:27.280 --> 07:38:29.320 That is a way to win a teamfight alone 07:38:29.320 --> 07:38:35.380 You just have to be so very agile so careful not to be picked off when you're trying to play off with your victim 07:38:36.280 --> 07:38:39.180 Hey, or even drag him off the map. We've seen a bunch of that one already 07:38:40.360 --> 07:38:41.360 It is 07:38:41.360 --> 07:38:48.660 It's crazy how much jetpack cat all commenced how you kind of play because you being literally kidnapped by it's like 07:38:48.660 --> 07:38:52.660 I can't do anything. I have to put the cat. You have to yeah, please 07:38:53.440 --> 07:38:57.040 Or Suzu or something just like as long as they don't get hit. I'm fine 07:38:57.040 --> 07:39:03.040 But, yeah, real tough, but at least we've been fantastic jobs so far, pilots in the cap. 07:39:03.040 --> 07:39:05.040 Another veteran player as well. 07:39:05.040 --> 07:39:11.040 You know when I run for many years now, even dating back to the Overwatch League days, spent some time on Soul Dynasty. 07:39:11.040 --> 07:39:17.040 And so now finding a home here on a Webu gaming roster that has retooled with a Korean backline. 07:39:17.040 --> 07:39:20.040 They're finding limited international success here. 07:39:20.040 --> 07:39:24.040 And also, I mean, it deserves to be mentioned, we haven't seen Blushway in this lineup. 07:39:24.040 --> 07:39:28.040 Because of the meta that we find ourselves in, it's all about Sunster this time. 07:39:28.040 --> 07:39:32.040 So where's before it was a four or five man team line up? 07:39:32.040 --> 07:39:34.040 As we're big chilling. 07:39:34.040 --> 07:39:39.040 TVNT is chilling, maximum relaxing, reclined all the way back. 07:39:39.040 --> 07:39:42.040 The chairs are very comfortable, I will say. 07:39:42.040 --> 07:39:45.040 They're like some Japanese chair brand, but they're very comfortable. 07:39:45.040 --> 07:39:49.040 Yeah, I agree. We've got some chill on the back. 07:39:49.040 --> 07:39:53.040 It's actually how they advertise them, from what we've seen so far in the arena. 07:39:53.040 --> 07:39:58.000 It's just like the ability to lean back and get comfortable what TVT is doing right now. They're like, this is this is what we do 07:39:58.000 --> 07:40:04.720 This is what we do. This is what we do TVNT's just full display right now showing off that chair. Yeah, it's really 07:40:05.360 --> 07:40:08.700 It's getting late for these players. I mean, I was about to say it is pretty 07:40:09.480 --> 07:40:14.840 They still won't more serious after this by the way. Yeah, they they are going to play the next 07:40:15.520 --> 07:40:19.880 Match up here versus pro are waiting in the wings in the final matchup of the day the lower back at final 07:40:19.880 --> 07:40:25.160 but I mean look at long it I hate to talk about funny astral because we're 07:40:25.160 --> 07:40:28.040 just looking at him but he doesn't think there's a camera on him but like he's 07:40:28.040 --> 07:40:34.800 looking a little tired you know and TV in the middle so I yawn you need a 07:40:34.800 --> 07:40:40.320 caffeine brother come on we need to get fired up once more 07:40:40.480 --> 07:40:44.080 yeah especially considering this can go to six maps I mean first of all it's 07:40:44.080 --> 07:40:47.080 happened on that before funnily enough against Alcat yeah they did 07:40:47.080 --> 07:40:51.600 Mitch is in championship last year. Yeah, that's raw on Blizzard world 07:40:52.280 --> 07:40:57.880 Of course, Johnny too. Oh, we got him. Oh, we got him. We got it. We got him chat. Who's next? 07:40:58.920 --> 07:41:02.480 You know one person you on and suddenly everyone starts yawning and so 07:41:02.960 --> 07:41:06.720 It's a slippery slope for the rest of the team here. You gotta watch out if you're simple 07:41:07.760 --> 07:41:09.360 J-woo 07:41:09.360 --> 07:41:14.480 Don't it don't it be caught you on it. All right time for some adrenaline back into the game 07:41:17.080 --> 07:41:41.080 All right. New junk city, no surprise to see us go here, Johnny. In theory here, I do give 07:41:41.080 --> 07:41:48.080 the edge to twisted mines. We got the hard replaced obviously in a moment as well. 07:41:48.080 --> 07:41:56.600 Ooh, do you zoom in? Uh oh, uh oh, our twisted mines expecting this composition to come out 07:41:56.600 --> 07:42:01.200 from Weber Gaming? Surely, I mean surely this is what it's been like evolved into over the 07:42:01.200 --> 07:42:06.960 last day or so. Twisted mines are playing way more of a default, a way more common composition 07:42:06.960 --> 07:42:11.180 They have to adapt their play now to what Weber Gaming are bringing on their own end. 07:42:11.180 --> 07:42:13.580 So it was a Bastion Band by Twisted Minds there Johnny. 07:42:13.580 --> 07:42:17.020 The Diva Band for Weber Gaming. 07:42:17.020 --> 07:42:20.300 TNT is going to be still at home though on Desiree. 07:42:20.300 --> 07:42:22.780 It's all about hiding here for Weber. 07:42:22.780 --> 07:42:24.740 The Maywall is so pivotal here as well. 07:42:24.740 --> 07:42:29.020 TNT has to be careful on Desiree as the rotate comes through from Weber Gaming. 07:42:29.020 --> 07:42:30.860 A lot of sustain if you're Twisted Minds. 07:42:30.860 --> 07:42:34.420 You have to rotate away and open up the angles for J1 Quartz. 07:42:34.420 --> 07:42:36.100 Maywall has been deployed though. 07:42:36.100 --> 07:42:37.600 This is a good time for Twisted Minds. 07:42:39.440 --> 07:42:41.360 Quartz, you're hoping Quartz gets nothing, 07:42:41.360 --> 07:42:44.100 he's actually shy, snipes Funny Astro. 07:42:45.200 --> 07:42:46.200 And a cap too. 07:42:47.000 --> 07:42:49.400 So it's not Twisted Minds now if they want to stay in this. 07:42:51.500 --> 07:42:52.500 And it's so slow. 07:42:52.500 --> 07:42:54.100 There's so much percent that's being drained here. 07:42:54.100 --> 07:42:55.600 Quartz wants to slide out, simple. 07:42:55.600 --> 07:42:57.100 Might get caught as well. 07:42:57.100 --> 07:42:58.400 You've got to make a decision. 07:42:58.400 --> 07:42:59.900 You've got to die or get out. 07:43:01.300 --> 07:43:04.100 Oh, Funny Astro almost gets caught again by Shy. 07:43:04.100 --> 07:43:07.140 And now, honestly, if you're Twisted Minds, you start thinking about, 07:43:07.140 --> 07:43:09.220 do we need to make Hero Swaps? 07:43:09.220 --> 07:43:12.500 I really do feel like the composition Twisted Minds are playing right now. 07:43:12.500 --> 07:43:16.260 It is sub-optimal into this new meta composition we're seeing. 07:43:16.260 --> 07:43:19.460 You can make some individual plays with the Tracer, with the Soldier, 07:43:19.460 --> 07:43:20.820 but so very difficult. 07:43:25.540 --> 07:43:27.860 It's just, the combat plays slower here. 07:43:27.860 --> 07:43:31.060 It's just such a big advantage when you have the point capped already. 07:43:31.060 --> 07:43:36.100 Yeah, they're staying alive, they're rotting away from Twisted Minds, not giving them an 07:43:36.100 --> 07:43:37.100 inch here. 07:43:37.100 --> 07:43:38.100 Ultimates are coming in line though. 07:43:38.100 --> 07:43:41.540 They force leaves block on the point at least, okay, by the trace of it. 07:43:41.540 --> 07:43:44.540 Shy is just keeping Overwatch right now on this high point. 07:43:44.540 --> 07:43:49.340 Good railgun kill onto marker though, after that rush has been used, and there you go, 07:43:49.340 --> 07:43:52.980 okay, Twisted Minds grasping a victory. 07:43:52.980 --> 07:43:55.500 98% flip though. 07:43:55.500 --> 07:43:59.820 Yeah, the Kitsune rush is going to be a big enough of a difference maker, simple building 07:43:59.820 --> 07:44:04.420 it earlier than his counterpart on the Maka here. And now, Twisted Minds, if they want 07:44:04.420 --> 07:44:09.460 to poke and putt early, they need every single opportunity they can get to find an early 07:44:09.460 --> 07:44:17.460 Railgun kill here, or maybe catch someone with TVNT's grab-torn surge coming up. 98% 07:44:17.460 --> 07:44:22.220 though, Wabugaming with 5 ultimates, such a tough uphill task for Twisted Minds. Oh 07:44:22.220 --> 07:44:27.780 man, TVNT can grab on the rotate, that's a good pick though, straight to the dome, shy 07:44:27.780 --> 07:44:31.780 goes down. Alright, okay. 07:44:31.780 --> 07:44:35.780 Webu, I've got time to back out though. 07:44:35.780 --> 07:44:39.780 That's the overclocked the point, about 64% here for 07:44:39.780 --> 07:44:43.780 Twisted Minds now, and they have the Sunbury, they have the Graviton Surge. They're facing 07:44:43.780 --> 07:44:47.780 5 Ultimate, but they have very powerful ones of their own. Catch them on the 07:44:47.780 --> 07:44:51.780 rotate here, just CVNT's got the high ground right now with the Graviton Surge. Rush is going to 07:44:51.780 --> 07:44:55.780 come through onto the point. There's the Graviton, they hit some big, J, we're looking for 07:44:55.780 --> 07:45:01.020 A nice little post, and then with a triple post-bomb kill in the grab. 07:45:03.020 --> 07:45:05.180 disaster strike, Wayvo gaming. 07:45:05.900 --> 07:45:07.580 Oh, they're losing this first point. 07:45:08.020 --> 07:45:10.260 J-Woo TVNT. 07:45:15.500 --> 07:45:18.420 What a comeback on this point from Twisted Minds. 07:45:18.420 --> 07:45:20.700 Individual plays out of everybody. 07:45:21.020 --> 07:45:22.700 Everything had to go right. 07:45:22.700 --> 07:45:30.780 And Twisted Minds executing brilliantly on this one going up 1-0 on New Drunk City looking to advance here in the lower back yet 07:45:32.140 --> 07:45:35.660 Yeah, at least we've been trying to deploy the sanctuary as well Johnny just to no avail 07:45:36.660 --> 07:45:38.660 Flocks whoa 07:45:39.020 --> 07:45:43.780 TBNT jumps out of there and they kill sh they kill shy straight rip the beef 07:45:45.500 --> 07:45:49.700 Right for gaming where you are you in the wrong postcode right now 07:45:50.380 --> 07:45:52.380 Shies was over to the soldier 07:45:52.700 --> 07:45:56.700 It's this one of more swaps to come. 07:45:56.700 --> 07:46:00.700 Sunso, over to the Ramatra here as well, leaves him in. 07:46:00.700 --> 07:46:03.700 He's going to do his part, Lucio, it is. 07:46:03.700 --> 07:46:06.700 More of a default kind of composition here. 07:46:06.700 --> 07:46:09.700 Leave sticking on the May for now, just to deploy the Blizzard. 07:46:09.700 --> 07:46:11.700 Can't expect the Tracer swap to come. 07:46:11.700 --> 07:46:14.700 But in this fight coming up, simple is the one with the Kitsuna rush. 07:46:14.700 --> 07:46:16.700 One of the better ultimates in the game. 07:46:16.700 --> 07:46:17.700 game. 07:46:17.700 --> 07:46:23.020 Game who, again, how the individual plays from this team. 07:46:23.020 --> 07:46:25.860 How has SunZo been caught on the rotate? 07:46:25.860 --> 07:46:28.340 I mean this is going from bad to worse. 07:46:28.340 --> 07:46:31.340 Clean up kills are going to come in, Johnny, but it's given them enough time to build up 07:46:31.340 --> 07:46:33.340 ults. 07:46:33.340 --> 07:46:38.460 This feels more like something we saw on Runasapi when it was all twisted minds after that initial 07:46:38.460 --> 07:46:39.460 engage. 07:46:39.460 --> 07:46:40.460 Wave who gave me hasn't found anything. 07:46:40.460 --> 07:46:41.460 He's giving up. 07:46:41.460 --> 07:46:42.460 He's giving up. 07:46:42.460 --> 07:46:43.460 Wow. 07:46:43.460 --> 07:46:46.900 to the Tracer, recognizing that not going to get a lot of value with that 07:46:46.900 --> 07:46:51.140 blizzard. It's going to be so difficult to capture anyone, but now no ultimates of 07:46:51.140 --> 07:46:56.540 their own. 73% of the Twisted Minds, they can do whatever they want. 07:46:56.540 --> 07:47:01.100 Let's have a look from simple quartz. I'm going to pull the overclock first, but Sunzo 07:47:01.100 --> 07:47:05.060 already so low, needs some desperate assistance. The entirety of Twisted Minds 07:47:05.060 --> 07:47:12.820 right now, looking at Sunzo as he just melts TV and tea. That's a, that's two 07:47:12.820 --> 07:47:13.820 2 points now Johnny! 07:47:14.820 --> 07:47:16.820 Webber Gaming had that good first one but... 07:47:17.820 --> 07:47:19.820 That's a 200 to 98. 07:47:20.820 --> 07:47:22.820 This map is quickly getting away from Webber Gaming. 07:47:22.820 --> 07:47:23.820 It feels like it's already gone. 07:47:26.820 --> 07:47:28.820 How are they going to come back into this one? 07:47:28.820 --> 07:47:33.820 There's star players, Shirely, gone missing and it's all Quartz and J-Win this one. 07:47:34.820 --> 07:47:35.820 Who's mine? 07:47:36.820 --> 07:47:37.820 Trying to advance into the lower bracket. 07:47:37.820 --> 07:47:39.820 Maka has this Kitsunorosh available. 07:47:39.820 --> 07:47:47.820 But this G'raviton surge, so deadly, especially with Twisted Minds already set up in a good position here in Webu Gaming for us to make a play. 07:47:47.820 --> 07:47:49.820 Oh, there we go. 07:47:49.820 --> 07:47:54.820 Okay, Shy on the board, leave two, taking out their mirror matches. 07:47:54.820 --> 07:48:00.820 And that's what you need, you need these opening kills from leaving Shy to get the ball rolling. 07:48:00.820 --> 07:48:06.820 This is what it's all about, it's not just going to be the ultimate in this one for Webu Gaming. 07:48:06.820 --> 07:48:11.820 Yes, you need to win fights on the back of your ketunor, on the back of sound barrier. 07:48:11.820 --> 07:48:18.820 But where it all starts coming together is when you can line up the railgun frags and the individual plays from your damaged players. 07:48:18.820 --> 07:48:21.820 They need more of that to keep things going. 07:48:21.820 --> 07:48:26.820 I fear now for Twisted Minds when I approach this one with a shine, with the overclock, 07:48:26.820 --> 07:48:29.820 but the Graviton search from TVNT could put a quick end to that. 07:48:29.820 --> 07:48:34.820 No pulse bomb to line up with it, but they might be okay with that. 07:48:34.820 --> 07:48:36.820 Now the beat available for Lee Sumin. 07:48:36.820 --> 07:48:38.820 Overclock's going to get used by Shy. 07:48:38.820 --> 07:48:40.820 What's the response? Looks like a beat. 07:48:40.820 --> 07:48:42.820 Lee Sumin's got a better beat timing now. 07:48:42.820 --> 07:48:44.820 He's going to cover five with him too. 07:48:44.820 --> 07:48:46.820 His Twisted Minds have to back out of this fight at least for now. 07:48:46.820 --> 07:48:49.820 Don't want any business to do with Lee Sumin's Sunbury here. 07:48:49.820 --> 07:48:51.820 Going to look for the reed again as well. 07:48:51.820 --> 07:48:53.820 They've got Brav. They win to 1v1. 07:48:53.820 --> 07:48:55.820 Suns are in trouble. 07:48:55.820 --> 07:48:57.820 Now they just get run over. 07:48:57.820 --> 07:49:00.820 Oh, it's feeling like that point one all over again. 07:49:00.820 --> 07:49:02.820 Look at the old Twisted Minds have saved as well. 07:49:02.820 --> 07:49:04.820 They got the pick-a-pick combo. 07:49:04.820 --> 07:49:07.820 They got the Graviton surge with the post-bomb as well. 07:49:07.820 --> 07:49:13.820 But still, I like the very hesitant play from Weibo Gaming to hold on to that Kitsuna rush. 07:49:13.820 --> 07:49:18.820 Mark at that time doesn't match simple, recognizing that they already dropped a member. 07:49:18.820 --> 07:49:23.820 So 85% here for Weibo Gaming now. They're still in a very good position to get this point for them. 07:49:23.820 --> 07:49:26.820 TVNT, oh, he's going to get grabbed. 07:49:26.820 --> 07:49:28.420 Bob Long's pause, but pause still goes shy. 07:49:28.420 --> 07:49:30.500 This game is good for two though. 07:49:30.500 --> 07:49:33.380 TVNT goes down as well to shy. 07:49:35.060 --> 07:49:37.340 Twisted Minds not using their combo. 07:49:38.340 --> 07:49:39.900 They used it, they could have done, 07:49:39.900 --> 07:49:43.860 but they were already caught in webos and it's 95%. 07:49:43.860 --> 07:49:45.060 Can I find the tracer? 07:49:45.060 --> 07:49:46.060 Where is J-Woo? 07:49:46.060 --> 07:49:46.900 They're gonna give it up? 07:49:46.900 --> 07:49:48.340 They're gonna give it up. 07:49:48.340 --> 07:49:49.940 Team couldn't follow up on the tracer touch, 07:49:49.940 --> 07:49:51.340 no need to do it. 07:49:51.340 --> 07:49:52.840 And Webo gaming on the board. 07:49:52.840 --> 07:49:57.840 You think it's a trivial fight there for the Twisted Minds, right? 07:49:57.840 --> 07:50:02.840 This next one, it's a graph pulse as soon as that point is locked, you're hitting that graph pulse and then you get the point for three. 07:50:02.840 --> 07:50:07.840 A lot of pressure on Tamaka. Need to save that Susu for the pulse bomb that could come out. 07:50:07.840 --> 07:50:11.840 Oh, they're actually just gonna use that rush first, they actually catch Sunzo. 07:50:11.840 --> 07:50:17.840 That's a lot of healing coming in but it's just too much. They've saved the pulse, saved the overclock as well. 07:50:17.840 --> 07:50:22.840 A really nice teamfight, a cheap one for Twisted Minds as they gain the point. 07:50:22.840 --> 07:50:26.840 Yeah, J.W.A. expected the Suisse to come as well, so he didn't even use the pulse from that time. 07:50:26.840 --> 07:50:28.840 Didn't feel like he was the right time to drop it here. 07:50:28.840 --> 07:50:35.840 So seeing as Skirmish back and forth, again, both of these soldiers like to be so active and always look for picks. 07:50:35.840 --> 07:50:42.840 Warch has this overclock and we know he likes to wide swing, but at the same time, they're building towards the double support open at Sportswist. 07:50:42.840 --> 07:50:44.840 Oh, shy, she's just going to get solo. Can you get the man out of the way? 07:50:44.840 --> 07:50:45.840 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! 07:50:45.840 --> 07:50:46.840 This kick is just too good! 07:50:47.840 --> 07:50:50.400 J-Woo does it again. Oh, at least you're in. 07:50:51.160 --> 07:50:53.160 It's way far in the back line there. 07:50:54.440 --> 07:50:57.200 And that's going to be a fight to Twisted Minds. That's a back-to-back. 07:50:58.200 --> 07:50:59.720 It's a game. Webber Gaming on the back foot. 07:51:00.840 --> 07:51:04.120 Webber Gaming on the back foot as well, and no support alternates for this one. 07:51:04.720 --> 07:51:08.760 As Twisted Minds draw ever closer to closing out this very series. 07:51:09.320 --> 07:51:12.400 And they still have the opportunity to go fast if they want to. 07:51:12.400 --> 07:51:25.400 Soundbarrier for FunnyAstro, Lee Sumin as well, 25% away, Lee throwing up Hulse, don't see a kill, unfortunate. 07:51:25.400 --> 07:51:29.400 But he's so low actually on the point, he's actually just one. 07:51:29.400 --> 07:51:37.400 The overclock is going to get pulled from shy, but J-Boo wins another DPS still. This is coming down to the wire now, 10% to go. 07:51:37.400 --> 07:51:43.160 They're gonna try and catch off on the extra but he gets Susie and bottled and out ports with the overclock 07:51:43.200 --> 07:51:49.600 It's gonna be the biggest on the side. They got the touch from me soon in goes down 92 percent towards the beat 07:51:50.240 --> 07:51:52.400 And twisted minds have done it 07:51:54.560 --> 07:51:56.560 Your world champions 07:51:57.800 --> 07:52:01.040 Knocking out China's number one seed from Tokyo 07:52:01.040 --> 07:52:09.120 And that's a dominant play as we expect from the reigning world champions, turning up big 07:52:09.120 --> 07:52:12.400 time on the very first map and on the last one here. 07:52:12.400 --> 07:52:14.120 Playing the composition they're so very good at. 07:52:14.120 --> 07:52:18.920 Luccio Kirigou with the soldier, J.Woo, making those plays on the tracer. 07:52:18.920 --> 07:52:20.880 That's why he was signed to this roster. 07:52:20.880 --> 07:52:25.960 He just round things out, improved on this roster alone. 07:52:25.960 --> 07:52:29.120 And it went four maps, it went five maps, it even did. 07:52:29.120 --> 07:52:37.620 Well, Twisted Minds facing some stiff competition in the way we're gaming, but you got to talk about the rune of Saafi, the way they closed out these map wins for themselves. 07:52:37.620 --> 07:52:40.120 They were so dominant on those three maps. 07:52:40.120 --> 07:52:42.620 Yeah, J-Woo just carried towards the end. 07:52:42.620 --> 07:52:46.120 That big old draw as well on Kings Row, you can't forget. 07:52:46.120 --> 07:52:48.620 An incredible series here. 07:52:48.620 --> 07:52:53.620 And yeah, Twisted Minds, they're continuing this run in this lower bracket now. 07:52:53.620 --> 07:52:57.300 Virtus.pro, obviously waiting in the wings, it's another rematch. 07:52:57.300 --> 07:53:02.740 Like, we're getting rematch after rematch after rematch from every region, it feels like now we've got a career one tomorrow. 07:53:02.740 --> 07:53:05.700 We've got an EMEA one coming up in just a moment. 07:53:05.700 --> 07:53:08.580 Twisted Minds on this revenge short, Johnny, they want to make it to the finals again. 07:53:08.580 --> 07:53:12.660 Yeah, and it really felt like in Stage 1 that Twisted Minds was the better of these two teams, 07:53:12.660 --> 07:53:15.620 the way they were destroying Virtus.pro in regional play. 07:53:15.620 --> 07:53:19.940 But I feel like here on the international stage, the way the meta has been developed so far, 07:53:19.940 --> 07:53:23.940 I think Fortress Pro has a better chance in this match-up than they had once prior. 07:53:25.240 --> 07:53:28.440 Let's really jump down to the stage though, funny actual with the interview. 07:53:28.940 --> 07:53:31.440 Congratulations! Congratulations on your win! 07:53:31.440 --> 07:53:37.440 Thank you very much. 07:53:37.440 --> 07:53:40.440 First of all, we both were in a fierce battle. 07:53:40.440 --> 07:53:44.440 Unfortunately, I was 0-3 in the previous CR. 07:53:44.440 --> 07:53:51.440 Until now, I've never seen a team that was a little weak. 07:53:51.440 --> 07:53:56.440 How is the team mentally now? 07:53:56.440 --> 07:54:01.180 I mean this right now it was even though it was 3-1 it definitely felt like a very 07:54:01.180 --> 07:54:05.800 struggling 3-1 like a hard 3-1 and I know even on like sort of the other day 07:54:05.800 --> 07:54:11.080 you were today you were talking about 0-3 you weren't feeling great so how is 07:54:11.080 --> 07:54:16.080 your mental how's the team's mental right now in this tournament I think we're 07:54:16.080 --> 07:54:18.960 doing a lot better than we were at the start we're starting to find our groove 07:54:18.960 --> 07:54:22.720 we obviously still have some little kinks that we need to work out but yeah I 07:54:22.720 --> 07:54:25.560 I think we're confident going into a match against VP. 07:54:25.560 --> 07:54:27.860 That's a matchup that we're really happy to play. 07:54:27.860 --> 07:54:29.860 So, yeah, looking good. 07:54:52.720 --> 07:54:55.920 This time, it was a really strong match. 07:54:55.920 --> 07:54:59.720 I think it's a very strong match. 07:54:59.720 --> 07:55:02.720 I think it's a very strong match. 07:55:02.720 --> 07:55:06.720 I think it's a very strong match. 07:55:06.720 --> 07:55:10.720 What kind of strategy do you need to play against VP? 07:55:10.720 --> 07:55:13.720 What kind of mentality do you need to play against VP? 07:55:13.720 --> 07:55:15.720 Please let me know. 07:55:22.720 --> 07:55:36.720 How are you thinking about how you're going to beat them, like, I mean you don't have to say specific strategies, but it's like, what are you feeling going into the match? Do you feel like it's going to be, you know, an easy 3 or you're feeling like it's going to be a little bit more of a struggle than you normally would have had against VP? 07:55:36.720 --> 07:55:48.720 I think our game is against VP always close, but like I say, they are our rival from Europe and we're really confident playing against them. I think they have a bit of a mental block playing against us. So no matter which matchup we play, no matter what comes for on, we're going to win. 07:55:48.720 --> 07:56:01.720 When it comes to VP, it's always a fierce battle, but I think that the opponent's mental block is a bit of a disadvantage. 07:56:01.720 --> 07:56:07.720 I think that you can win any composition, any strategy. 07:56:08.720 --> 07:56:09.720 Thank you. 07:56:09.720 --> 07:56:11.720 Thank you so much for your show! 07:56:11.720 --> 07:56:13.720 Thank you, Miyazaki-san! 07:56:43.720 --> 07:56:46.520 pretty long series right there and you know it's getting late into the evening 07:56:46.520 --> 07:56:50.200 here in Tokyo Japan and so we'll have to see if they can reset appropriately. 07:56:50.200 --> 07:56:53.880 Yep they're gonna need to VP as well. They've had a long long day both teams 07:56:53.880 --> 07:56:57.240 ready to rock and roll unfortunately they're gonna have to knock out each 07:56:57.240 --> 07:57:01.080 other. Not each other. Both of them can't go out not just yet but EMEA are gonna 07:57:01.080 --> 07:57:04.680 have a head-to-head after this break. 07:57:04.840 --> 07:57:09.720 What's up everybody I'm here and for OWCS Tokyo and I'm joined by everybody's 07:57:09.720 --> 07:57:12.680 favorite team Twisted Minds. We're talking today with of course 07:57:12.680 --> 07:57:17.080 funny astro and ksa and first guys i just gotta ask uh what'd you guys get into japan and what's 07:57:17.080 --> 07:57:20.920 it been like here in your first few days? we got in last night we spent a couple of weeks 07:57:20.920 --> 07:57:25.080 before that in korea so we've been bootcamping preparing hard but yeah it's been a decent amount 07:57:25.080 --> 07:57:28.760 of travel and we're ready for the tournament now. that's for me 07:57:42.680 --> 07:57:44.740 you 07:58:12.680 --> 07:58:14.740 you 07:58:42.680 --> 07:58:44.740 you 07:59:12.680 --> 07:59:14.740 you 07:59:42.680 --> 07:59:44.740 you 08:00:42.680 --> 08:00:46.240 Wable did fight back a more than one occasion. What stood out to you? 08:00:46.640 --> 08:00:48.640 Ooh, okay. When it came down to Wable Gaming, 08:00:48.640 --> 08:00:51.200 I think we could just continue on with that story building. 08:00:51.200 --> 08:00:53.840 When it comes down to SunZo and Lee Soo Min, 08:00:54.160 --> 08:00:56.600 this is a team that has leveled up. 08:00:56.760 --> 08:01:00.560 I was really impressed with the changes that they've made to this roster and the 08:01:00.560 --> 08:01:03.040 improvements that have come out here. 08:01:03.240 --> 08:01:04.800 We have always had that conversation, 08:01:04.800 --> 08:01:08.400 Waxie, about these things from China needing to kind of grind, fight back in. 08:01:08.400 --> 08:01:10.760 And we're finally seeing those level ups here from Wable. 08:01:10.760 --> 08:01:19.080 Yeah, Chinese Overwatch has always had like a place in the Overwatch Esports history books, Shanghai Dragons basically like that, all school classics. 08:01:19.080 --> 08:01:27.560 They've come up with some insane DPS players, but it's great to see the tank players and the support players fully elevated in this current climate. 08:01:27.560 --> 08:01:34.160 The fact that they were able to actually complete that full push on Circuit Royale and then complete the full hold afterwards. 08:01:34.160 --> 08:01:38.760 Some insane stuff coming on from it. I like the fact that they tried to go over this Mizuki composition. 08:01:38.760 --> 08:01:45.560 You can see a lot of teams trying to take advantage of how quickly that one's been able to push on up into the priority of the comps. 08:01:45.560 --> 08:01:53.360 But unfortunately, I think again, Korea being able to hide that strategy for a little bit longer means that the teams who are trying to very quickly flip onto the Mizuki 08:01:53.360 --> 08:01:58.060 quite for one or two fights realize that it's not quite working out for them and have to swap back. 08:01:58.060 --> 08:02:03.460 Yeah, I want to talk a little bit more about the competitions here because Twisted Minds, earlier on here in this event, 08:02:03.460 --> 08:02:08.340 We saw them trying out that cat bashing and they quickly swift. They had to like 08:02:09.220 --> 08:02:13.140 Get off of it again because it did not seem to really suit them in this series though 08:02:13.220 --> 08:02:16.500 They play quite a lot and it looked good. It did look good 08:02:16.500 --> 08:02:19.860 And I think that we also got to see them actually playing it the way that they wanted to 08:02:20.180 --> 08:02:24.900 We got a preview of it in that all-gameries matchup to start off the day yesterday 08:02:25.380 --> 08:02:29.620 And now into today. We also saw the Cassidy there for courts 08:02:29.620 --> 08:02:32.260 I think that was a really big difference maker here with the cat bashing comp 08:02:32.260 --> 08:02:34.260 the backline. You know, you 08:02:34.260 --> 08:02:36.260 have to be able to do that 08:02:36.260 --> 08:02:38.260 with the backline. You have 08:02:38.260 --> 08:02:40.260 to be able to do that with 08:02:40.260 --> 08:02:42.260 the backline. Hit being able 08:02:42.260 --> 08:02:44.260 to play that Cassidy and 08:02:44.260 --> 08:02:45.260 really just like nail down 08:02:45.260 --> 08:02:46.260 the other cat bashing on the 08:02:46.260 --> 08:02:47.260 other side of things was a 08:02:47.260 --> 08:02:48.260 really the big difference 08:02:48.260 --> 08:02:49.260 maker. I feel like here for 08:02:49.260 --> 08:02:50.260 Tim. Yeah, but it's a risk 08:02:50.260 --> 08:02:51.260 right when you're going for 08:02:51.260 --> 08:02:52.260 the bastion with the Cassidy. 08:02:52.260 --> 08:02:53.260 It means that you're not 08:02:53.260 --> 08:02:54.260 playing something like the 08:02:54.260 --> 08:02:55.260 Reaper to be able to melt 08:02:55.260 --> 08:02:56.260 the tank or the trace to be 08:02:56.260 --> 08:02:57.260 able to go in and hit the 08:02:57.260 --> 08:02:58.260 backline because because it 08:02:58.260 --> 08:02:59.260 isn't going to be able to help 08:02:59.260 --> 08:03:00.260 out with the backline unless 08:03:00.260 --> 08:03:01.260 they're overextending and 08:03:01.260 --> 08:03:04.660 safer and if you don't manage to hit your shots, you're not going to be able to find 08:03:04.660 --> 08:03:09.260 a lot of value with the casting. But Quartz is known. He's been one of those standout 08:03:09.260 --> 08:03:14.740 hitscans who very quickly crept up into just the antheum that we've seen, like the pantheum 08:03:14.740 --> 08:03:18.900 coming on out of the hitscan areas. Even the Korean players last year were saying that 08:03:18.900 --> 08:03:22.140 they were worried about matching up against Quartz with how dominant he could be on things 08:03:22.140 --> 08:03:23.140 like the Sotron. 08:03:23.140 --> 08:03:27.340 Yeah, now Quartz has been an absolute threat. For many stages now, honestly, and in years 08:03:27.340 --> 08:03:33.900 almost, right? Generally, Twisted Minds, they've been that one dominant team in EMEA and VP really 08:03:33.900 --> 08:03:39.500 struggled all season long to catch up. There just seemed to be that tear gap between the number one 08:03:39.500 --> 08:03:44.940 and the number two seed in EMEA. The last two times those two teams faced off against each other, 08:03:44.940 --> 08:03:51.340 it was Twisted Minds. VP was the only team in EMEA that managed to at least get a map off of them, 08:03:51.340 --> 08:03:55.900 so there is hope also. Again, very different matter. Do you guys think like those two teams 08:03:55.900 --> 08:04:01.340 scrimped it all with each other like what how familiar are they with each other in the current meta? 08:04:01.340 --> 08:04:06.780 I don't know actually I can't I would feel like they did and I feel like you're trying to take advantage 08:04:07.580 --> 08:04:14.780 the other international teams so they have had the opportunity to definitely watch the gameplay from each other but I really don't think that 08:04:14.780 --> 08:04:17.220 That was their focus to play each other coming into champions flash 08:04:17.220 --> 08:04:23.060 Yeah, especially because like Twisted Minds, they lost a map to VP when VP played a sort of cheese comp on Atlas 08:04:23.060 --> 08:04:30.420 with the Vendetta, with the Tracer, and that was something that VP were known for last year, that was something that Twisted Minds specifically wanted to remove J-Woo 08:04:30.460 --> 08:04:34.700 from Virtus.Pro's players, like I told to the team, I was like, why exactly did you pick up J-Woo? 08:04:34.700 --> 08:04:37.660 And they basically said, you be decided. Out of all of the players, 08:04:37.660 --> 08:04:41.580 they could potentially have gone to pick him up and replace him when he goes into more of a coaching role. 08:04:41.580 --> 08:04:48.020 That J-Woo was the one that he truly like trusted to be able to come through with Twisted Minds, with the amount of flexibility 08:04:48.060 --> 08:04:50.140 he was bringing to Virtus.Pro's roster. 08:04:50.140 --> 08:04:56.340 But for me, the big difference is that that was twisted minds in their region. Yeah, we had the skill divide 08:04:56.340 --> 08:04:58.340 We talked about it on cast so many times 08:04:58.340 --> 08:05:01.980 TM, here, Virtus Pro, here, the rest of the teams, here 08:05:01.980 --> 08:05:07.740 But now that we're here in Tokyo, that skill divide, TM being up here and Virtus Pro being here 08:05:07.740 --> 08:05:13.500 It started to close and obviously with how close Virtus Pro's matches have been against some heavy hitters 08:05:13.660 --> 08:05:17.860 It might be on pass or passed. Yeah, I want to find out you guys 08:05:17.860 --> 08:05:22.140 You know what I'm most excited for in this matchup. There's so many really really 08:05:23.060 --> 08:05:28.420 Incredible matchups just like player versus player like psycho versus jay. We just like 08:05:29.860 --> 08:05:35.980 So good like I'm actually so excited for this one. It's an opportunity for a psycho to try and get to his revenge 08:05:35.980 --> 08:05:42.700 I don't know. I think it's such a cool story that we're seeing come together now here in Tokyo 08:05:42.700 --> 08:05:47.220 And the interesting two thing too is twisted minds feeling like they've been a little bit on that back 08:05:47.220 --> 08:05:53.220 But we're finally seeing J. Woo heat up in the server within these previous series today and for psycho 08:05:53.220 --> 08:05:57.940 This has been a VP that have been look looking very adaptable here in Tokyo 08:05:57.940 --> 08:06:01.740 Well psycho's also been popping up for the matches that Verdas price been playing here like yesterday 08:06:01.740 --> 08:06:06.380 We were waxing lyric the illerative about you know cap stuff on the castee 08:06:06.380 --> 08:06:09.220 But today it's been psycho being able to come on through with the traces 08:06:09.220 --> 08:06:11.860 I'm really impactful pulse bomb moments as well 08:06:11.860 --> 08:06:17.260 We know that Virtus Pro and Twisted Minds not really wanting to feel towards the Kat Bastion, 08:06:17.260 --> 08:06:24.660 Virtus Pro been banning it out, Twisted Minds not wanting to play it all that much themselves because they much prefer the hit-scan of the meta coming on through. 08:06:24.660 --> 08:06:30.420 I think for one of these teams is going to be who can actually adjust to the new meta and so just playing the old. 08:06:30.860 --> 08:06:34.060 Yeah, I think that what's going to be interesting as well is we've set up this 08:06:34.580 --> 08:06:39.300 Virtus Pro team as the one that has been having that quick growth here on LAN. 08:06:39.300 --> 08:06:43.760 But at the same time, I kind of wonder, do we think they might have a bit of a chip on their shoulder? 08:06:43.760 --> 08:06:49.680 Could the past ghosts of losing to TM so often in their own region maybe be something that haunts them on the stage? 08:06:49.680 --> 08:06:55.760 I don't think so. Quite frankly, just like if you're looking at the players as individuals, they're chill like that. 08:06:55.760 --> 08:07:00.880 They are chill like that. And also there's a lot of like very much experienced players there. 08:07:00.880 --> 08:07:07.400 So I don't think they let it rattle them. I feel like if anything that might just be fueled by it, like motivation. 08:07:07.400 --> 08:07:13.920 I think a lot of players taking this motivation like so many of us just we we operate out of pettiness 08:07:16.200 --> 08:07:18.480 I feel like we got some candidates of that on that stage 08:07:18.480 --> 08:07:22.060 Well, they also when they were asked like which team they wanted to match up against yesterday 08:07:22.080 --> 08:07:26.900 They did not say twisted minds. They said Zeta and then they pulled a map against Zeta earlier 08:07:26.900 --> 08:07:31.120 So if that's not a confidence boost, I don't know what is okay 08:07:31.120 --> 08:07:35.140 If we didn't actually do predictions for that one, but I'm gonna put you on the spot now 08:07:35.140 --> 08:07:42.220 Who do you have for this one? I feel like this is this could literally be a coin toss. I honestly, I'm kind of going with VP 08:07:44.300 --> 08:07:47.780 I've been seeing I think that for VP they're playing a lot more into the matter 08:07:47.780 --> 08:07:51.140 They look a lot more comfortable doing it for the side of twisted minds 08:07:51.140 --> 08:07:55.260 They do still manage to pull off these wins playing what's been good for them 08:07:55.260 --> 08:07:57.900 They're adjusting to that cat Bastion 08:07:58.300 --> 08:08:02.420 But I I'm here for the upset potentially. You know me. I love a good story 08:08:02.420 --> 08:08:08.960 I mean recency bias like we said Virtus.pro have been performing far better than Twisted Minds currently 08:08:09.560 --> 08:08:17.400 But I just it's so close. It really is like Quartz versus Kevstar and then Psycho versus Jailer 08:08:17.400 --> 08:08:21.920 Like it's going to be really coming down to the DPS. I think that's why it's going to be so conflictly 08:08:21.920 --> 08:08:24.440 I'm I'm gonna be with Ashe though. I think Virtus.pro 08:08:24.440 --> 08:08:30.920 I'm gonna be contrary alright. I'm gonna go out ride or die and lock in Twisted Minds for this one 08:08:30.920 --> 08:08:32.920 I guess I just I think 08:08:32.920 --> 08:08:36.120 There's a lot of clutch potential on the server like on both of these teams 08:08:36.120 --> 08:08:41.520 So it's really just like it's impossible to really make an educated guess here because it just depends on which of the two teams 08:08:41.600 --> 08:08:44.420 Showed up VP was incredible clutch in order to get here 08:08:44.420 --> 08:08:50.120 There was just the better team that moment, but overall the games here in the lower bracket have been close 08:08:50.120 --> 08:08:55.320 Even though the score doesn't quite suggest that right? I was super impressed with what you just saw from TV and T 08:08:55.320 --> 08:08:59.480 I think he like out of the Zarya gap in that last in that last match 08:08:59.480 --> 08:09:04.600 So I don't know. I feel like they're coming in red and hot VP had to like kind of sit out for a little bit 08:09:04.600 --> 08:09:09.160 This was a long series. It was now obviously doesn't really matter to the players like 08:09:09.720 --> 08:09:15.800 Maybe this is just something that we use here on a desk to fill time. It very well might be but let's find out 08:09:15.800 --> 08:09:23.840 Which of the two teams is going to stay alive and continue their run tomorrow and which team will be sent packing? 08:09:23.840 --> 08:09:29.240 We're gonna get those teams on that stage a very soon tiger will take care of you after a short break 08:09:29.240 --> 08:09:31.240 So don't go anywhere 08:10:59.240 --> 08:11:02.040 It's gonna be alright 08:11:02.040 --> 08:11:05.840 Energy, energy, energy, love 08:11:07.840 --> 08:11:09.840 It's gonna be alright 08:11:25.040 --> 08:11:28.840 Don't give up cause you come a little closer 08:11:28.840 --> 08:11:32.840 Lift me up and I'll take this feeling higher 08:11:32.840 --> 08:11:36.840 Hold my hand and we'll make it dance together 08:11:36.840 --> 08:11:39.840 It's gonna be all night 08:11:39.840 --> 08:11:54.840 It's gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gonna be all night 08:12:24.840 --> 08:12:29.480 It's gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gonna be home. 08:12:54.840 --> 08:12:56.900 you 08:13:24.840 --> 08:13:26.900 you 08:13:54.840 --> 08:13:56.900 you 08:14:24.840 --> 08:14:26.900 you 08:14:54.840 --> 08:14:56.900 you 08:15:24.840 --> 08:15:26.840 I 08:15:54.840 --> 08:16:01.340 That a little bit about their trip here so far so what has been the best thing you guys 08:16:01.340 --> 08:16:04.700 have eaten so far you've only been here for about a day if you guys had a chance to explore 08:16:04.700 --> 08:16:06.520 what would you get a chance to eat? 08:16:06.520 --> 08:16:10.420 I went to this ramen place close to our hotel last night and it was so good. 08:16:10.420 --> 08:16:12.000 Yeah, yeah that ramen is great. 08:16:12.000 --> 08:16:16.680 I went to like a convenience store this morning got like an egg sandwich and some fried chicken 08:16:16.680 --> 08:16:18.800 they had it was so good. 08:16:18.800 --> 08:16:24.120 So if you had to stay the entire day in Tokyo with just one of your teammates who would it 08:16:24.120 --> 08:16:25.120 B and Y. 08:16:25.120 --> 08:16:26.120 Boom. 08:16:26.120 --> 08:16:28.120 It is probably Psycho. 08:16:28.120 --> 08:16:29.120 Psycho? 08:16:29.120 --> 08:16:30.120 Yeah. 08:16:30.120 --> 08:16:31.120 Yeah, why? 08:16:31.120 --> 08:16:34.120 Because the rest of my team don't like to do stuff, they won't ask you. 08:16:34.120 --> 08:16:35.120 Yeah. 08:16:35.120 --> 08:16:36.120 They just relax and they'll play the game. 08:16:36.120 --> 08:16:37.120 Yeah. 08:16:37.120 --> 08:16:38.120 Psycho's got like a chill vibe as well. 08:16:38.120 --> 08:16:39.120 I think you'd get into some stuff. 08:16:39.120 --> 08:16:40.120 What about you? 08:16:40.120 --> 08:16:41.620 I'm not going to have to go with Fixer. 08:16:41.620 --> 08:16:42.620 I get lost a lot. 08:16:42.620 --> 08:16:43.620 I need to fix it. 08:16:43.620 --> 08:16:45.120 You know, keep me going the right way. 08:16:45.120 --> 08:16:46.120 All right. 08:16:46.120 --> 08:16:50.760 So one of the questions I was going to ask is like, who is most likely to get lost? 08:16:50.760 --> 08:16:51.760 Why? 08:16:51.760 --> 08:16:53.360 This year, we need to like, what, why? 08:16:53.360 --> 08:16:54.680 Is this the other history? 08:16:54.680 --> 08:16:55.920 Yeah, kind of. 08:16:55.920 --> 08:16:58.160 He starts with directions, anything like, 08:16:58.160 --> 08:16:59.320 there's no where he's going. 08:16:59.320 --> 08:17:01.280 What's one event that you got lost? 08:17:01.280 --> 08:17:02.840 Like, or like, any time? 08:17:03.840 --> 08:17:06.160 I know they won't say what I'm doing. 08:17:07.160 --> 08:17:08.320 It's in the center. 08:17:09.160 --> 08:17:11.720 Now, everyone, the last match. 08:17:11.720 --> 08:17:13.400 Are you ready to get on board? 08:17:15.880 --> 08:17:18.080 Let's have fun with all our might. 08:17:18.080 --> 08:17:20.760 Now, it's the last round of the game. 08:17:20.760 --> 08:17:23.760 First of all, this team! Three-set-mine! 08:17:42.760 --> 08:17:43.760 And the other team is... 08:17:43.760 --> 08:17:45.760 PARTY SPROW! 08:17:50.760 --> 08:18:20.720 It has turned into a long day here in the arena. 08:18:20.720 --> 08:18:33.720 to a veteran squads no stranger to opposing one another in crucial matches and now one of them must be sent home. Yeah, the only two the only two people who've been in the venue longer than us has been Vertus 08:18:33.720 --> 08:18:45.720 pro. I mean they have been here all day battling through the lower bracket and it's good. I mean I'm excited because we've done a lot of EMEA throughout this year and these two teams kind of like battling it out really twisted 08:18:45.720 --> 08:18:51.080 getting the better of VP a lot of it, but if there was one time where I think VP could kind of take him 08:18:51.080 --> 08:18:53.160 I might be this event right now. They're they're playing pretty good 08:18:53.160 --> 08:18:57.480 You look at a player like Kevster who you know didn't make it to lands for what yeah 08:18:57.480 --> 08:19:00.920 He may not not at all last year. I mean it was the first one and then that was it 08:19:00.920 --> 08:19:05.320 It was a brutal drought for him as a player given his story of history, right? 08:19:05.320 --> 08:19:11.200 And now he comes to Tokyo and if there's one player who's come alive for Virtus Pro it's Kevster, right? 08:19:11.200 --> 08:19:15.000 Like yeah, what he pulled off against Waybo on the Cassidy was 08:19:15.760 --> 08:19:22.960 Absolutely disgusting and these two teams. I mean there we already have the map selection and the bands already on through 08:19:22.960 --> 08:19:27.840 So a Cassidy band comes through here and then also a rematra band 08:19:27.840 --> 08:19:33.400 So it's VP who they get it's the map pick here for twisted minds 08:19:33.400 --> 08:19:39.480 They defer the band over to VP VP gets rid of the Cassidy, which I guess like you know 08:19:39.480 --> 08:19:44.240 Cassidy is obviously strong for Quartz as well, but Kev has been on fire with it. 08:19:44.240 --> 08:19:49.280 I think VP may try and play Cap Ashen here against them. 08:19:49.280 --> 08:19:51.720 I think that's what the Cassidy has been on, right? 08:19:51.720 --> 08:19:56.560 Because the Cassidy has been part of the linchpin of countering this strategy. 08:19:56.560 --> 08:19:58.560 And the Ramatra ban is also pretty interesting. 08:19:58.560 --> 08:20:04.080 I mean, the Ramatra has been played a decent amount, but hasn't been like a core meta choice. 08:20:04.080 --> 08:20:08.640 So maybe both teams saving something in reserve to go deeper into a series. 08:20:08.640 --> 08:20:14.360 VP they banned the Cassidy here, but I'd be surprised if they don't use it themselves going deeper down the stretch in this series 08:20:14.360 --> 08:20:16.360 Yeah, the one thing I can think of is that 08:20:16.680 --> 08:20:22.040 Virtus Pro specifically ice mom has gone over to the Ram constantly 08:20:22.600 --> 08:20:29.360 Like against some of these different types of comms, right like especially some of the Sigma loads, so I know maybe there's something 08:20:30.400 --> 08:20:32.600 They'll pull together. That's a little cheeky is a 08:20:32.600 --> 08:20:40.180 The crowd here loves them to me and me a overwatch here as we got one more game to see who makes it the championship Sunday 08:20:40.240 --> 08:20:42.560 It's great to hear the energy in the arena 08:20:45.560 --> 08:20:47.980 Still going strong for this final match of the day 08:20:55.440 --> 08:20:57.440 BP 08:20:57.440 --> 08:21:03.840 Come in the underdog. I think that is you know without question. Hold up J. Woo. My man. No, no 08:21:05.080 --> 08:21:08.100 Just kidding. It's been a long day. Let me have fun 08:21:08.600 --> 08:21:12.400 Jake was a little tired in the back and once you see some junk ready for the program 08:21:13.120 --> 08:21:17.120 Hey, hold up. Okay, so British program now. They're gonna play some sin here 08:21:17.640 --> 08:21:23.560 Where no cat interesting. Yes, they're gonna play Juno break here or twisted mines 08:21:23.560 --> 08:21:28.960 That's an interesting look but it looks like already they're going all the way back to the spawn. I like this choice 08:21:28.960 --> 08:21:34.600 I think the sim is a serious problem for the Juno break and even Astro goes over to the wing 08:21:34.600 --> 08:21:40.280 We're getting wild and wacky this way. I don't know what to think. I mean it is late, but 08:21:41.080 --> 08:21:45.200 It's late for these teams do man test of endurance here in the arena 08:21:45.880 --> 08:21:53.360 First cap goes to British pro uncontested and odd start to the series man. Yeah, I mean TN basically gives you it off 08:21:53.560 --> 08:21:57.320 Right by, you know, going back to the spawn and making these changes, is... 08:21:57.640 --> 08:22:01.400 ...Simple putting some pressure on the Kev, can't exactly go in, can it chase him down? 08:22:01.400 --> 08:22:02.600 The Zarya bubble there. 08:22:02.840 --> 08:22:07.320 On the Simple will keep him up, Realgun shall just barely miss connecting. 08:22:08.760 --> 08:22:14.120 Burdis throw, staying on the front foot with Dispatch and Sim, another TP forward, threatens Quartz who... 08:22:14.560 --> 08:22:18.360 Disrespects, it looks like a fake TP, and they come and punish the Brig! 08:22:18.680 --> 08:22:22.680 Vulnerable! Especially through the DPS that Burdis Pro are fielding, twisting mines! 08:22:23.560 --> 08:22:27.240 Really? Not getting much fight of anything so far in this map? 08:22:27.240 --> 08:22:33.880 Well, with TM, right, with their composition, they're kind of banking on some of these fights going a little bit longer, right, 08:22:33.880 --> 08:22:40.120 where the break healing can start to kick in, right, and some of the woo-yong damage, because if these fights go pretty fast, 08:22:40.120 --> 08:22:46.440 which they have in favor of VP, the comp doesn't have enough, like, survivability just overall, right? 08:22:46.440 --> 08:22:50.280 They kind of need to kind of keep those going for a while, and it's going to be a venture pick here. 08:22:50.280 --> 08:22:53.680 Fortunately, we have not seen him play this the entire tournament. 08:22:53.680 --> 08:22:57.480 I mean, it's good against the Sim, but I mean, for me, kind of terrible against the Bastion. 08:22:57.480 --> 08:23:02.180 I mean, the raw DPS throughput, you just cannot tolerate that on the venture course, though. 08:23:02.180 --> 08:23:06.680 Bynes picks up, opening on the Lucio, gives you the opportunity that they needed to get back into this round. 08:23:06.680 --> 08:23:12.080 Simple, pops the rally, but the Kitsude rush, devastating damage, overwhelms TBMZ Soria. 08:23:12.080 --> 08:23:18.480 A Bastion were in desperation towards Kepster's Bastion, but he remains helping like a three! 08:23:18.480 --> 08:23:22.480 From nowhere? How did that happen? The TP bomb? 08:23:24.480 --> 08:23:30.480 Oh, that is brutal there for Twisted Minds. Both support ults now are making changes there. 08:23:31.480 --> 08:23:38.480 Psycho Sim, not the hero I would have expected him to come out on, and it's definitely not what I expected him to be making plays like that. 08:23:39.480 --> 08:23:43.480 A little Psycho Revenge game, right? Going up against Twisted Minds, they're gonna go aggressive on the feet. 08:23:43.480 --> 08:23:46.480 He's in trouble, Quartz already down! 08:23:46.480 --> 08:23:49.480 Overwhelmed! Desperation to his advice! 08:23:49.480 --> 08:23:52.480 Brown is out, Eden to add insult to injury! 08:23:52.480 --> 08:23:56.480 Not that it makes a difference! Quist advice! 08:23:56.480 --> 08:24:01.480 A shadow of their former self! They need to wake up immediately, Matt! 08:24:01.480 --> 08:24:05.480 Virtus.pro, a statement, Matt victory around victory, I should say, but... 08:24:05.480 --> 08:24:08.480 Where was Tien in that? What are they doing with these picks? 08:24:08.480 --> 08:24:10.480 What's going on with these picks? 08:24:10.480 --> 08:24:12.480 That was wild. 08:24:12.480 --> 08:24:16.480 I mean, a lot of different hero selection 08:24:16.480 --> 08:24:20.480 compositions that we like do not see often 08:24:20.480 --> 08:24:22.480 from Twisted Minds. 08:24:22.480 --> 08:24:24.480 They've not seen throughout the tournament from anybody, 08:24:24.480 --> 08:24:26.480 making those types of comps come together. 08:24:26.480 --> 08:24:29.480 Maybe just kind of trying something. 08:24:29.480 --> 08:24:31.480 Maybe there's something in Scrims that potentially works here 08:24:31.480 --> 08:24:34.480 against Virtus Pro, but taking a look at the stats, 08:24:34.480 --> 08:24:36.480 I mean, TV and T had a rough one. 08:24:36.480 --> 08:24:43.280 from the side of Twisted Minds at a pretty brutal game there as we go into the next round. 08:24:43.280 --> 08:24:46.780 And, okay, so, uh, Virtus.pro has clearly adopted to the meta. 08:24:46.780 --> 08:24:51.080 They're not playing the cat, but we saw Virtus.pro do this against Wable gaming on this one without the cat. 08:24:51.080 --> 08:24:53.580 Twisted Minds are going to try and play Moga here. 08:24:53.580 --> 08:24:56.980 Moga with a Juno break. Like, this is a very old comp. 08:24:56.980 --> 08:25:00.980 They're going to try to overwhelm. Here comes Moga straight to the back line, trying to get on top. 08:25:00.980 --> 08:25:06.180 But, deft use of the Simteleport gets Psycho and his allies up to the high ground. 08:25:06.180 --> 08:25:15.180 And into a safe position once again, TVNT dives into the back line up, beats Fulton on top of Kepster, followed up by Quartz, and this time he'll make good on the promise. 08:25:15.180 --> 08:25:25.180 And I think the one thing here for Virtus Pro, right, you don't have the ability to kind of get that fashion in the sky, right, and really kind of avoid the MAGA stomp, right? 08:25:25.180 --> 08:25:29.180 So you get rid of, would you be surprised if they went cat here? 08:25:29.180 --> 08:25:31.180 I know maybe for, you know, I'd like to see it. 08:25:31.180 --> 08:25:32.180 Yeah, I'd like to see it. 08:25:32.180 --> 08:25:34.180 They're going to just put a reaper in the mix. 08:25:34.180 --> 08:25:39.940 So just ditched the sim and I guess when TV and T comes in they're just gonna try and punish really hard 08:25:39.940 --> 08:25:44.180 Let's see what's like I'm gonna get done on this Reaper. It's gonna be crucially important simple 08:25:44.180 --> 08:25:47.180 Also making some space on the point courts already fourth with the high ground 08:25:47.340 --> 08:25:51.220 But willing to seed that ground you have some good space from which to fire TV 08:25:51.220 --> 08:25:58.700 It's a big stuff again great form though keep Skepster alive fix it gets caught in the chaos and J. Woo hunting pecking from the sides 08:26:00.340 --> 08:26:02.340 Yeah, and I think he buying bird is pro 08:26:02.340 --> 08:26:06.340 I would love to see them kind of go to the Jetpack Cat. 08:26:06.340 --> 08:26:10.340 That is a false bomb. That would have been insane to connect with. 08:26:10.340 --> 08:26:12.340 This place would have been nuts. 08:26:12.340 --> 08:26:16.340 A little speculative, but we'll allow it. J-Wood 3 on the fight. 08:26:16.340 --> 08:26:20.340 And the mod defining some purchase for Twisted Minds. 08:26:20.340 --> 08:26:25.340 It's just now for Virtus Pro. You're making Kevster such an easy target, right? 08:26:25.340 --> 08:26:30.340 Like the idea with the Jetpack Cat in the mix with the Bastions to get Bastion up in the sky, 08:26:30.340 --> 08:26:33.040 making him kind of like, you can't really engage with him. 08:26:33.040 --> 08:26:35.940 This feels like it's perfect for twisted minds to play into. 08:26:35.940 --> 08:26:37.540 And I mean, now you're gonna have rally. 08:26:37.540 --> 08:26:39.440 When you have the Ray, it's gonna be even stronger. 08:26:39.440 --> 08:26:43.740 I mean, feels like VP may be playing for that sound barrier, 08:26:43.740 --> 08:26:45.240 then maybe making some adjustments 08:26:45.240 --> 08:26:47.340 in order to consume a rush here for Landon. 08:26:47.340 --> 08:26:49.840 Getting Reaper inside of it. That's gonna be the rally used. 08:26:49.840 --> 08:26:52.240 Overwhelming damage, trying to come over the top. 08:26:52.240 --> 08:26:54.940 TBN team, the Ray is gonna sustain him through. 08:26:54.940 --> 08:26:57.440 But a sound barrier allows Psycho to continue to fight. 08:26:57.440 --> 08:27:01.800 Despite the rally, Cage though, could be just too much for Burdus Poe to respond to. 08:27:01.800 --> 08:27:07.480 Landed, trapped, like a rat, dropped down by the two mini-guns, TVNT will have them all, 08:27:07.480 --> 08:27:11.280 and this could be another round back as quick as the first. 08:27:11.280 --> 08:27:13.840 I mean, this is a slaughtering here. 08:27:13.840 --> 08:27:17.280 Twisted mines have bounced back in a massive way. 08:27:17.280 --> 08:27:21.960 So it'll be a self-destruct from Ice-N-Ome here if he gets a touch, and Simple will 08:27:21.960 --> 08:27:24.280 chase him down. 08:27:24.280 --> 08:27:30.400 just like that we are one one and I have to agree with you Matt where was the 08:27:30.400 --> 08:27:35.240 jetpack cat it would have been I think so nice against a break like what's she 08:27:35.240 --> 08:27:40.920 gonna do against a flying bastard I mean that's not much I mean two rounds down 08:27:40.920 --> 08:27:46.680 one heavily in favor of VP the other heavily in favor of twisted mines is 08:27:46.680 --> 08:27:51.360 yeah I mean it feels like if you're gonna run that bastion there you would 08:27:51.360 --> 08:27:53.360 the most certainly needed of the cat. 08:27:53.360 --> 08:27:58.360 But now it looks like he might have just avoided it all together. 08:27:58.360 --> 08:28:01.360 If I didn't know any better, I'd have said that they banned Cat this map. 08:28:01.360 --> 08:28:06.360 Right, but the way the meta has shaped both of these teams and played the Jetpack Cat 08:28:06.360 --> 08:28:09.360 Bastion have looked good with it. 08:28:09.360 --> 08:28:12.360 Maybe just fearing that the counter picks are too strong, 08:28:12.360 --> 08:28:16.360 Simple gonna be happy to be on the break in this matchup against the D but 08:28:16.360 --> 08:28:20.360 gonna be easy to consistently proc that inspire. 08:28:20.360 --> 08:28:23.200 You have a twist of mind. Let's see, they're gonna ramp around towards the right side. 08:28:23.200 --> 08:28:25.940 For a second there, I thought maybe they would have wanted to make some changes, potentially. 08:28:25.940 --> 08:28:28.080 But it'll be Psycho here, getting the TP down. 08:28:28.080 --> 08:28:31.400 Gonna be able to kinda go from high ground to low. 08:28:33.320 --> 08:28:35.720 TP's gone. Killed there by TM. 08:28:37.360 --> 08:28:38.960 Space taken from Twisted Minds here. 08:28:39.280 --> 08:28:41.840 In a dominant position on point, a TP forward onto Quartz. 08:28:42.040 --> 08:28:45.800 Sent him for a quick rotation slide, but the team quicked a recall less around him. 08:28:45.800 --> 08:28:50.440 Now, a bit of a damage for Virtus.Pro. They're the ones to put a dominant pressure on point. 08:28:50.440 --> 08:28:55.200 Still, course with the wide angle means you're never safe, you're never comfortable in this matchup. 08:28:55.200 --> 08:28:59.800 Oh TP, they go in aggressive. Okay, they put some pressure down on a simple here. 08:28:59.800 --> 08:29:01.800 Oh, the J.Boo! 08:29:01.800 --> 08:29:05.400 From behind with the tracer, devastating with these dual-pulse pistols. 08:29:05.400 --> 08:29:10.400 And without Kevster, damage, severely lacking for Virtus.Pro, feels like a matter of time. 08:29:10.400 --> 08:29:18.140 TBNT will find the next, and it's turning into DRIBS AND DRABS, the stall game for Virtus.Pro, 08:29:18.140 --> 08:29:20.660 but an inevitability. 08:29:20.660 --> 08:29:26.460 Twisted Minds looking comfortable, every TP responded to beautifully by Quartz. 08:29:26.460 --> 08:29:31.980 You know VP, we've obviously seen them succeed with a lot of problems here at Champions 08:29:31.980 --> 08:29:36.860 Clash, but for me, I feel like they were playing this bash in Canada higher level than probably 08:29:36.860 --> 08:29:40.380 Twisted Minds was and then Twisted Minds is not going to opt into like mirroring it, right? 08:29:40.380 --> 08:29:42.060 So you can kind of take them out on it. 08:29:42.860 --> 08:29:44.860 Potentially would have been in a pretty good spot. So 08:29:46.140 --> 08:29:50.540 there'll be a point control here for Twisted Minds rally and ray available here. So a very strong 08:29:50.540 --> 08:29:55.580 domination, a very difficult point to take back. It's going to be contested for extremely long 08:29:55.580 --> 08:30:00.140 time. There's a railgun shot there and it picks in not enough to finish him off though. For it's 08:30:00.140 --> 08:30:06.220 comfortable in his element, an instant head shot. Sends land and scurrying for cover. Kitsune rush, 08:30:06.220 --> 08:30:09.540 Ize in the lipidest space, but Twisted Minds continue to twist the screws. 08:30:09.540 --> 08:30:12.140 René over the top, and a beat force out from Fixa. 08:30:12.140 --> 08:30:14.860 Can they find that offense of utility? No, it's simple. 08:30:14.860 --> 08:30:16.440 Into the fray with the rally. 08:30:16.440 --> 08:30:18.820 IzeNom does find Quartz in the chaos. 08:30:18.820 --> 08:30:22.540 The SimLaw further providing a bit of space and cover for VP to work with, 08:30:22.540 --> 08:30:24.780 but T.M. still in control here. 08:30:24.780 --> 08:30:27.860 Yeah, look, you got T.V. and T.H. here with the self-destruct as well. 08:30:27.860 --> 08:30:30.500 You're going to be able to extend this for an extremely long period of time. 08:30:30.500 --> 08:30:34.700 He's going to get DMed here. You're going to use it as J.Woo finds Fixa. 08:30:34.700 --> 08:30:37.760 J.Woo has been unbelievable here to kick this one off. 08:30:37.760 --> 08:30:38.760 Ice Nome. 08:30:38.760 --> 08:30:40.760 Get some right back. 08:30:40.760 --> 08:30:43.760 So the tracer out of the action, it's going to be Kev's chance with an overclock here, 08:30:43.760 --> 08:30:44.760 Jake. 08:30:44.760 --> 08:30:45.760 We're already at 70% here. 08:30:45.760 --> 08:30:46.760 Need for some of these mines. 08:30:46.760 --> 08:30:50.760 One shot connected, simple with a depth shield to block the second, shield broken, a rail 08:30:50.760 --> 08:30:51.760 to the back. 08:30:51.760 --> 08:30:52.760 But where's the finish? 08:30:52.760 --> 08:30:54.760 Maybe it's coming for you, Kevster. 08:30:54.760 --> 08:30:57.760 DBNT desperate for the kill, but can't find it, loses the suit. 08:30:57.760 --> 08:31:02.760 Simple and forced though, find their mark and now J.Woo ready to clean out. 08:31:02.760 --> 08:31:11.320 I mean, just the level of play from Jeyu right now is at such a high level. 08:31:11.320 --> 08:31:15.440 I mean, you can kind of see right, like, how important he was to add him to this roster 08:31:15.440 --> 08:31:18.560 to give them that explosive tracer play. 08:31:18.560 --> 08:31:20.840 And he may kind of carry them here to this first map win. 08:31:20.840 --> 08:31:25.640 As Fixx is just going around the outside trying to get a touch. 08:31:25.640 --> 08:31:32.440 It came out so strong that Twisted Minds were feeling on round one and a completely different 08:31:32.440 --> 08:31:36.940 story in the following two yeah the rally there we don't catch it from simple 08:31:36.940 --> 08:31:42.200 POV but rally bash denies fixa from actually making it there towards the 08:31:42.200 --> 08:31:48.880 point so TM a little bit of love there for JV I love to see I mean JV had a 08:31:48.880 --> 08:31:55.780 big map yeah he came back in a major way after that first round and she shenny 08:31:55.780 --> 08:31:59.680 he was he was kind of farming it was crazy when to achieve crazy as well 08:31:59.680 --> 08:32:06.160 thinking about how that first round like looked so good for VP and then we've seen the stats at the end of this with the 08:32:06.160 --> 08:32:06.920 TM win 08:32:06.920 --> 08:32:10.040 It's like how do they how do they take that first round? 08:32:10.040 --> 08:32:13.520 I think a lot of the first round maybe looking back on it was 08:32:13.920 --> 08:32:17.740 TM going all the way back to small and switching their comp giving up that early point and then 08:32:17.960 --> 08:32:21.200 Control to the sim and never really being able to get it back 08:32:21.440 --> 08:32:22.960 Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of that 08:32:22.960 --> 08:32:27.440 You know when teams fully yield the mid fight on control that you're basically on retake from the first fight 08:32:27.440 --> 08:32:32.440 Tiki little TP bomb play from Psycho showing what's possible on the sim. 08:32:32.440 --> 08:32:38.440 I also feel like, you know, TM kind of beat themselves on round one. 08:32:38.440 --> 08:32:40.440 And then maybe they, you know, right the ship, right? 08:32:40.440 --> 08:32:42.440 It's just a, you know, maybe a momentary lapse. 08:32:42.440 --> 08:32:44.440 They come back in so much stronger. 08:32:44.440 --> 08:32:46.440 The Magokoms looking well-practiced here. 08:32:46.440 --> 08:32:50.440 Still, if they were to win Cat here, I think they could win that round. 08:32:50.440 --> 08:32:51.440 I totally agree. 08:32:51.440 --> 08:32:56.440 I think this Brig is really powerful into the Lucio matchup, especially with Lucio nerfed. 08:32:56.440 --> 08:32:58.440 I really don't mind the break at all. 08:32:58.440 --> 08:33:02.940 The reason I think we don't see her much in this tournament is because of Jetpack Cat, right? 08:33:02.940 --> 08:33:06.440 Like, Jetpack has no ability to deal with Flyers. 08:33:06.440 --> 08:33:10.940 And Jetpack Cat Bastion is just about the most devastating Flyer in the game right now. 08:33:10.940 --> 08:33:15.940 Yeah, I mean, you could have given them a lot of trouble, like some other teams have given TM some trouble here. 08:33:15.940 --> 08:33:18.940 And this is really what kind of gave them the momentum to storm back. 08:33:18.940 --> 08:33:20.940 I mean, this second round was not particularly close. 08:33:20.940 --> 08:33:22.940 And then, ah, look, you guys just watched the third round. 08:33:22.940 --> 08:33:24.440 I don't need to tell you what happened there. 08:33:24.440 --> 08:33:26.920 and just TM, just kinda walk over them. 08:33:26.920 --> 08:33:29.920 So now, for Virtus Pro, 08:33:29.920 --> 08:33:33.160 like, how do you think they view this series, right? 08:33:33.160 --> 08:33:34.800 I would've thought, potentially, 08:33:34.800 --> 08:33:36.440 they would've looked at it as, 08:33:36.440 --> 08:33:38.760 let's kinda do what we've seen some teams do, 08:33:38.760 --> 08:33:40.160 the Twisted Minds have been pretty public, 08:33:40.160 --> 08:33:44.040 they don't love playing Jetpack, that cat fashion. 08:33:44.040 --> 08:33:47.280 So, like, maybe kinda just stick it to them in that. 08:33:47.280 --> 08:33:49.200 But it almost doesn't seem like 08:33:49.200 --> 08:33:51.400 that's where VP wants to go. 08:33:51.400 --> 08:33:53.040 And I kind of get it from the sense 08:33:53.040 --> 08:33:54.280 that Kepster's been that good, 08:33:54.280 --> 08:33:57.320 But, Kephs played the Bastion at a really high level here too. 08:33:57.720 --> 08:34:01.680 I like Kephs on the Bastion. I think he has a really strong look on the hero. 08:34:02.000 --> 08:34:06.040 I agree with you. I think they've played the overall comp really nicely. 08:34:07.400 --> 08:34:11.400 And this is a team that's, you know, to Funny Astros' point in that post-game interview, 08:34:12.400 --> 08:34:14.000 they've lost too many times before. 08:34:14.200 --> 08:34:18.400 You'd almost want VP to be willing to take some risks, to take some gambles. 08:34:18.960 --> 08:34:23.200 But a straight-up heads-up battle like that, and one that T.M. are comfortable in, 08:34:23.200 --> 08:34:28.320 Feels like we almost already know how that plays out. VP though, bring us to Newjunk City. 08:34:29.440 --> 08:34:34.640 They haven't lost here to my knowledge, right? So far the tournament, it's been disgusting. They 08:34:34.640 --> 08:34:41.600 wiped the floor with their opposition on Newjunk City. Yeah, and I wonder what VP decides to do 08:34:41.600 --> 08:34:48.160 in terms of like ban here, right? We saw what the Ramatra gone in the first map and then we saw the 08:34:48.160 --> 08:34:54.160 capacity. So we'll see where VP decides to go in terms of the banning process. We 08:34:54.160 --> 08:34:58.560 could take a look though, simple, you know, playing Brigg. I mean, a pretty 08:34:58.560 --> 08:35:03.960 fantastic game and also, I mean, look, a part of this kind of stat line and like 08:35:03.960 --> 08:35:06.840 the performance goes into, there was really no punishment for the Brigg. No 08:35:06.840 --> 08:35:10.520 real attempt to kind of collapse on the simple there in rounds two and three. 08:35:10.520 --> 08:35:14.080 Yeah, when you're on the back foot and Brigg can get up there and be that 08:35:14.080 --> 08:35:17.760 threat, not just defensively, but offensively, right? That changes the game. 08:35:18.320 --> 08:35:21.520 Simple, one of those players, you know, when I see a Flexport player on Brigg, I know they're 08:35:21.520 --> 08:35:25.760 always going to be looking for those opportunities ready to strike. And I simple just had a great 08:35:25.760 --> 08:35:31.280 read of that in the last round. This is the last two rounds, really, just they couldn't respond to 08:35:31.280 --> 08:35:37.440 him. Every dive in from those SIMTPs responded to, well, making sure Quartz was always healthy, 08:35:37.440 --> 08:35:43.120 always ready to fight. What do you think the ban? Okay, so the first ban here is going to be from 08:35:43.120 --> 08:35:46.560 team they're gonna give her to the sim which i know rare to see twisted minds 08:35:46.560 --> 08:35:49.120 get rid of the symmetry but i'll actually like that call i mean psycho that 08:35:49.120 --> 08:35:52.720 was pretty effective in that first round with the fashion i honestly 08:35:52.720 --> 08:35:55.520 strategically i understand this from team like vpf shown they really want to 08:35:55.520 --> 08:35:59.680 play this sim as a fan i want to see vpf sim 08:35:59.680 --> 08:36:04.640 i want to see psycho taking the tracer duel and yes it's jable on the other side 08:36:04.640 --> 08:36:08.400 that's not a matchup you're excited to see but for psycho as a player i think 08:36:08.400 --> 08:36:12.000 that's one that he needs to take if they want to win this series if they want to 08:36:12.000 --> 08:36:16.260 show real fight real threat which is what is needed to stay alive remember one of 08:36:16.260 --> 08:36:20.820 these teams is going home at the end of the series do you think VP would think 08:36:20.820 --> 08:36:26.440 about a diva ban at some point it's an option it's interesting I mean Tia 08:36:26.440 --> 08:36:30.680 probably leaned more heavily on the diva than just about any other team in this 08:36:30.680 --> 08:36:38.320 tournament in the world over the last year and a half and like I sounds pretty 08:36:38.320 --> 08:36:44.000 good on Diva. I wouldn't say it's like kind of the pick for him. So maybe he'll probably 08:36:44.000 --> 08:36:49.200 get a Azaria ban. Okay, so that's one that TVNT can also partly play, right? So potentially 08:36:49.200 --> 08:36:54.320 you're worried about some of the compositions that TM can do with that Azaria in action. 08:36:54.320 --> 08:36:59.960 So yeah, I think there could be a potential opportunity because we've seen Ice play the 08:36:59.960 --> 08:37:05.920 Ramatra at a really high level, right? As we take a look at the top band heroes and feel 08:37:05.920 --> 08:37:11.420 I was still worried about the sim, just the mobility, it just kind of messes the game all up for everybody. 08:37:12.120 --> 08:37:19.020 Pretty interesting how relatively little cat and bastion have been banned compared to their prevalence, their place in the meta. 08:37:19.420 --> 08:37:23.220 I mean, it's come to the point where people are playing bastion as a conventional hitscan now, right? 08:37:23.220 --> 08:37:28.120 Like, you're not even with the cat comp, they're just valuing what bastion can offer the incredible damage throughput. 08:37:29.120 --> 08:37:32.920 The ability to just churn through tanks and damage dealer supports alike. 08:37:32.920 --> 08:37:36.120 Will it be featured here on New Junk City though? 08:37:36.120 --> 08:37:40.140 This has been a map type or rather a specific map that we've seen, I think more of the 08:37:40.140 --> 08:37:41.700 Sojourn in the Cassidy. 08:37:41.700 --> 08:37:46.780 People wanting that ability to just maybe be less cooldown reliant for that hitscan. 08:37:46.780 --> 08:37:53.020 I mean you could play like Twisted Minds could play something like, could you see them playing 08:37:53.020 --> 08:37:54.740 some of those Maycoms? 08:37:54.740 --> 08:37:56.300 I like the May. 08:37:56.300 --> 08:38:01.500 I wonder if either of these teams they almost toyed with bringing out the Mizuki but Kev is 08:38:01.500 --> 08:38:02.500 pretty sick on the May. 08:38:02.500 --> 08:38:04.300 I mean, Jager can play the May as well, right? 08:38:04.300 --> 08:38:05.940 Yeah. 08:38:05.940 --> 08:38:07.900 Doesn't really feel like maybe T.M.'s looking 08:38:07.900 --> 08:38:11.660 like preferred style of playing, right? 08:38:11.660 --> 08:38:13.300 Like in terms of how that May looks, 08:38:13.300 --> 08:38:16.540 but it's definitely something that I think they can work in. 08:38:16.540 --> 08:38:20.500 I imagine for VP, we're going to get Kevin some sort of hitscan 08:38:20.500 --> 08:38:23.420 and then Tracer from Psycho with the Simgon. 08:38:23.420 --> 08:38:26.660 You could look at the Zarya Band as enabling Cassidy, 08:38:26.660 --> 08:38:29.260 I think, on Newjunk City, where, I mean, 08:38:29.260 --> 08:38:34.500 Cassidy's ultimate weakness as a hero is a comp that just runs you over, right? 08:38:34.500 --> 08:38:39.560 That like disrespects your close range threat and just dominates you even where you are strong, right? 08:38:39.560 --> 08:38:42.040 The Reaper, the Zarya, just, you know, no fear. 08:38:42.040 --> 08:38:44.600 Tanking the Flashbang, take a bubble, keep running. 08:38:44.600 --> 08:38:48.840 Cassidy just doesn't have great tools to respond in that kind of an all-out aggression scenario. 08:38:48.840 --> 08:38:54.440 You take the Zarya out of the equation, though, and it's a lot more difficult to see a strat that overwhelms in that way. 08:38:54.940 --> 08:38:58.000 You look how high Funny Asher's head rest is. 08:38:58.000 --> 08:39:11.000 He's looking so happy. His spirits are so high. He's got that. He's got that ready to like, you know, that crank dude TV and T is just chill maxing in between games. 08:39:11.000 --> 08:39:23.000 I love it. He goes on the full day back. Yeah, I've been watching over Klein mode. I mean, maybe that was funny. Asher has the address that I maybe maybe know something different when he leans that chair bag and he can take a little snooze in between that. 08:39:23.000 --> 08:39:27.400 But yeah, I think that's a good call to Cassie right because Kev is played 08:39:27.400 --> 08:39:30.560 I mean the kid like if you were to make he's been I write real good sir 08:39:30.560 --> 08:39:36.280 Monster on this game you can make a three or four minute highlight reel of Kev sir just on this map just playing Cassie 08:39:36.280 --> 08:39:41.600 So like I think that's a really good shout on I know getting rid of that Zarya and maybe kind of powering that up 08:39:41.600 --> 08:39:44.800 But I also think psychos was really good on tracer throughout this event 08:39:44.800 --> 08:39:49.780 So I don't think it's that I know crazier. Yeah worries them here pervert is pro that the Sim is gone 08:39:49.780 --> 08:39:54.720 Yeah, like I get that they like the sim and it's you know, they've looked comfortable playing around it 08:39:55.360 --> 08:39:58.980 Trying to turn one of those historical tools for twisted minds against them 08:39:59.860 --> 08:40:05.380 The flexibility the name of the game in modern overwatch and both of these rosters have it in spades 08:40:05.460 --> 08:40:07.620 It's a question of how they deploy it 08:40:10.180 --> 08:40:13.660 So VPS played you know ice on the ball in the past but 08:40:16.380 --> 08:40:18.540 It would be a little odd in this one 08:40:19.780 --> 08:40:22.780 Most likely, I mean, we've not seen the go through this at all. 08:40:22.780 --> 08:40:26.780 I think for Twisted Minds, this is like a comp that, you know, well, yeah, I mean, 08:40:26.780 --> 08:40:28.780 they just didn't play this. Yeah, right. This is, yeah. 08:40:28.780 --> 08:40:31.780 I mean, Simple's gonna speed ring and swap to the carry in this comp. 08:40:31.780 --> 08:40:32.780 The carry, yeah. 08:40:32.780 --> 08:40:35.780 But other than that, I mean, this is, this is bread and butter. This is comfort. This is... 08:40:35.780 --> 08:40:41.780 But isn't that, like, what you wouldn't want, like, to allow them to just play the comfort? 08:40:41.780 --> 08:40:44.780 Because, like, we've seen this match in EMEA how many times now. 08:40:44.780 --> 08:40:47.780 It's tough, you know, the W-No versus the W-Jungle. 08:40:47.780 --> 08:40:55.300 See what Kevster can get done with the Ramatra frontlining. No sorry to overwhelm him. There's certainly going to be opportunities for this Cassidy 08:40:55.940 --> 08:41:02.500 Isis looked nice on the ram though throughout this tournament. This is you see Kev. Oh wait put some good early damage down site 08:41:02.500 --> 08:41:04.500 Oh, it's the cleanup. Oh 08:41:04.660 --> 08:41:08.220 But simple from range drops Kevster with some spam kunai 08:41:08.340 --> 08:41:15.420 That's massive gives twisted minds a chance to fight back into this one VP need to close the gap need to activate ice comes from mantra 08:41:15.420 --> 08:41:17.900 But the vertical mobility advantage to diva 08:41:18.780 --> 08:41:23.140 And I did they always have to be worried about though for it's right as a TV and T gets low 08:41:23.140 --> 08:41:27.980 He's gonna get some healing there towards the end as ice mom takes a rail gun shot not fully charged though. So 08:41:29.300 --> 08:41:32.020 Nobody in control of the point. Just yet. Oh 08:41:32.660 --> 08:41:40.780 Back at full strength but Landon and Kev fall and this move certainly will result in a twisted minds point take great 08:41:40.940 --> 08:41:44.980 Awareness from TV and T punishes Kevster off the respawn 08:41:45.420 --> 08:41:49.900 Landon even teepees back in a fruitless attempt to save the core hitscan. 08:41:50.660 --> 08:41:56.860 Lucid Minds really playing that fight to perfection, you know, taking the challenge, but always being ready to punish that respawn. 08:41:56.860 --> 08:41:58.740 That was their ultimate goal the whole time. 08:42:00.060 --> 08:42:02.180 That TN is going to rack up some percentage here. 08:42:02.180 --> 08:42:07.100 I mean, Fort's going to get very close to an OC as Psycho takes a rail cut and shot there. 08:42:08.020 --> 08:42:10.740 So this is going to be really tough, I think, on camp, right? 08:42:10.740 --> 08:42:15.340 You were talking about it about like the TV and TJ even simple gets really aggressive 08:42:16.020 --> 08:42:20.300 Into the backline and can they keep that Cassie alive is 08:42:20.980 --> 08:42:24.420 Shot there for quartz connects gonna have to heal everybody up here for VP 08:42:24.420 --> 08:42:28.460 But he's got an overclock here really early nice shield buys quite a bit of space here 08:42:28.500 --> 08:42:31.060 But rush comes out from simple trying to take it right back 08:42:31.340 --> 08:42:35.420 Landon responds in kind quartz finds himself in an awkward angle trying to fall back 08:42:35.420 --> 08:42:37.020 Kevser able to fight strong on the rush, 08:42:37.020 --> 08:42:40.860 TBNT dropped just percentage points before a self-destruct. 08:42:40.860 --> 08:42:44.060 Now, it vanished, and Kevser will clean it up, 08:42:44.060 --> 08:42:46.620 finds one more on the fight, landing with another, 08:42:46.620 --> 08:42:48.780 and the flip comes back in for Virtus.pro 08:42:48.780 --> 08:42:50.540 on top of a positive economy trade. 08:42:50.540 --> 08:42:52.620 This puts them right back into the match. 08:42:52.620 --> 08:42:54.780 And I think TBNT thought he was actually going to be able 08:42:54.780 --> 08:42:57.100 to survive enough to get that self-destruct, 08:42:57.100 --> 08:42:58.380 and then maybe be able to get it back, 08:42:58.380 --> 08:42:59.900 and then kind of extend that fight. 08:42:59.900 --> 08:43:03.020 That's the way you kind of see Divas like him and Ziad, 08:43:03.020 --> 08:43:06.620 Like they kind of just push it all the way to the absolute max and just time that one 08:43:06.620 --> 08:43:11.480 Oh, no, not exactly is TV and T take some chops. They're gonna make it back to the rest of the team though 08:43:11.480 --> 08:43:13.680 Yeah disruptor spot buying a bit of space and time 08:43:14.780 --> 08:43:20.840 Opportunity on the defense courts with the OC fixer ready to respond with the beat behold his nerve for now a better beat as well 08:43:20.920 --> 08:43:25.180 But he asked for only finding three a dominating economy trade for furthest probe 08:43:25.180 --> 08:43:28.420 But will it be enough they need the kills to clean this fight up TV and T 08:43:28.420 --> 08:43:31.420 I'm psychobob, J.Woo! 08:43:31.420 --> 08:43:32.420 Okay! 08:43:32.420 --> 08:43:35.420 Ah, hold on, but Quartz answers back with a railgun shot. 08:43:35.420 --> 08:43:38.420 So, we'll see how Twisted Minds decides to play this. 08:43:38.420 --> 08:43:40.420 Bergaspro very close to taking the lead here. 08:43:40.420 --> 08:43:42.420 He does have the annihilation to work with, 08:43:42.420 --> 08:43:44.420 but he's gonna back out here, has the shield to play with, 08:43:44.420 --> 08:43:46.420 doing a nice job kind of rotating through the cooldowns. 08:43:46.420 --> 08:43:48.420 Absolutely boxing them out on the Rematra. 08:43:48.420 --> 08:43:51.420 No ultimates left in the tank for Twisted Minds. 08:43:51.420 --> 08:43:54.420 20% of that rush, it feels a long way away. 08:43:54.420 --> 08:43:57.420 J.Woo now forced to stall, but annihilation comes out. 08:43:57.420 --> 08:44:01.260 Bunny Astro, drop, no hope to come through that choke point. 08:44:01.260 --> 08:44:03.580 Aiznop takes a bit of poke in the trade, 08:44:03.580 --> 08:44:05.420 but with the player advantage, Quartz dropping low, 08:44:05.420 --> 08:44:08.420 a rush from simple desperately tries to keep this team 08:44:08.420 --> 08:44:09.340 in the fight. 08:44:09.340 --> 08:44:12.060 High noon, opportunity for the re-peak. 08:44:12.060 --> 08:44:14.180 TVNT though, holding onto this OT, 08:44:14.180 --> 08:44:15.500 better rush onto the point though, 08:44:15.500 --> 08:44:17.660 provides a decisive advantage for Virtus.Pro. 08:44:17.660 --> 08:44:19.740 Will it be enough, they need to find these kills. 08:44:19.740 --> 08:44:22.140 TVNT loses the suit and has to come back down 08:44:22.140 --> 08:44:23.740 to the point to keep the OT running, 08:44:23.740 --> 08:44:26.780 where Kester, more than happy, to claim the skulls. 08:44:27.420 --> 08:44:35.540 Cabot is cleaning up still. VP they battle back they end up taking that first 08:44:35.540 --> 08:44:39.260 point. I love the way that I still played it like at the start of that fight 08:44:39.260 --> 08:44:43.300 right? TVNT moves through the choke he sees Funny Astro directly behind him 08:44:43.300 --> 08:44:46.500 what he vore Texas keeps Funny Astro locked down and then just pops an 08:44:46.500 --> 08:44:49.900 annihilation just kills him instantly gives him that advantage in terms of 08:44:49.900 --> 08:44:54.940 support right away and guess what VP is gonna get control over the high ground 08:44:54.940 --> 08:45:01.340 here early is TMS in a weird spot. Lucios have been odd notice this tournament. Very vulnerable 08:45:01.340 --> 08:45:05.020 to the amount of damage through, but coming through against them. But now, on a much more 08:45:05.020 --> 08:45:09.180 open Flashpoint, it's going to be a little bit more difficult for Ramachur to hold these chokes 08:45:09.180 --> 08:45:14.860 down. DDNT putting a lot of pressure on the point. For now, Virtus Pro reeling. A peek through on 08:45:14.860 --> 08:45:19.980 lower, but you find yourself fully corralled towards with all the room to work with, and 08:45:19.980 --> 08:45:24.420 I'm just overwhelmed too much damage comes through hold on over confidence though 08:45:24.420 --> 08:45:28.100 Kevster finding that kill back provides an opportunity for vertus pro but they 08:45:28.100 --> 08:45:31.500 need to get more out of the way to make Kevster will do it with the beat from 08:45:31.500 --> 08:45:37.580 fix up. Oh I was like there's no way they're gonna beat this up. I mean hey if Kev is 08:45:37.580 --> 08:45:42.220 shooting like that who cares if you don't have your tank use whatever you 08:45:42.220 --> 08:45:45.740 can to keep him up. I mean the sound barrier he gets one they kind of evened 08:45:45.740 --> 08:45:49.740 it up for before then they end up using the beat there to keep him alive. 08:45:49.740 --> 08:45:59.740 And that is allowing VP to climb back into this one. A rough map won for Virtus Pro, but looking to take their second flashpoint here would be a hot start. 08:45:59.740 --> 08:46:04.740 Rare mistake from Quartz to open that fight. Kevster shut him down and brought his team. 08:46:04.740 --> 08:46:10.740 Kicking and screaming. Early beat from Astro though. They need to find some quick kills off the back of this. Kevster gets low, but support is good. 08:46:10.740 --> 08:46:16.740 Landed. The rush stabilizes the backline. Kevster with the high noon as well. Provides a bit of purchase for the team. 08:46:16.740 --> 08:46:19.940 Self-destruct from TVNT will mitigate this repush. 08:46:19.940 --> 08:46:22.040 He takes massive damage from the Reacher. 08:46:22.040 --> 08:46:25.640 Postbomb traps him out again, and Aiznath, looking for more. 08:46:25.640 --> 08:46:28.740 The rush is a threat, but Kester is yet more dangerous. 08:46:28.740 --> 08:46:30.740 Six-shooter, all he needs. 08:46:30.740 --> 08:46:33.740 But Quartz, finding the cover kill, the Mech of what? 08:46:33.740 --> 08:46:36.740 TVNT, how does he do it? 08:46:36.740 --> 08:46:41.740 I mean, he remex on top of Fixer and takes him out. 08:46:41.740 --> 08:46:44.740 We'll see if that is good enough. 08:46:44.740 --> 08:46:46.740 Hold on, hold on, so still viewable. 08:46:46.740 --> 08:46:48.740 Landon's here keeping Ice in the lives of now. 08:46:48.740 --> 08:46:51.740 Psycho needs maybe one more in this fight. 08:46:51.740 --> 08:46:53.740 It's not going to be easy to find, simple. 08:46:53.740 --> 08:46:55.740 Refuses to give anything for free. 08:46:55.740 --> 08:46:57.740 And TBNT back in the suit. 08:46:57.740 --> 08:46:59.740 Surely he's done enough to clean this up. 08:46:59.740 --> 08:47:02.740 Kevster poking from the outside with the assistance of Vixa, 08:47:02.740 --> 08:47:04.740 but without a tank, feels impossible. 08:47:04.740 --> 08:47:07.740 Hold on, hold on. Kev kills Funny Ashrow. 08:47:07.740 --> 08:47:12.740 You have Psycho here, and then you're going to have Ice getting back here off spawn here in just a second. 08:47:12.740 --> 08:47:18.740 The funny-ass show will be back in the fight quick, but still, maybe a brief window of an advantage is... 08:47:18.740 --> 08:47:24.740 ...Portz just slides across. Dangerous position, he was in there, so now gets a better spot. 08:47:24.740 --> 08:47:27.740 He'll be kept walking out with the dead-eye trying to open this up. 08:47:27.740 --> 08:47:29.740 Lot of space games. 08:47:29.740 --> 08:47:32.740 No capitalization just yet. Ports with the OC now. 08:47:32.740 --> 08:47:36.740 In a dominant spot over the top, a body shot of the Kepster won't be enough for a kill. 08:47:36.740 --> 08:47:41.740 Aiznop definitely slips away on the low ground, but he's running out of gas, needs huge support. 08:47:41.740 --> 08:47:44.940 He's got beat 99 to the beat and comes out just in time! 08:47:44.940 --> 08:47:47.520 Virtus.pro now, forced to fight this out on point, 08:47:47.520 --> 08:47:49.220 simple with a rush from the high ground. 08:47:49.220 --> 08:47:51.620 Gordz finds Landon, and without the Kiriko, 08:47:51.620 --> 08:47:53.100 surely this is too much to ask for. 08:47:53.100 --> 08:47:55.540 Kester needs something in this fight. 08:47:55.540 --> 08:47:57.140 We've asked for more from him in the past, 08:47:57.140 --> 08:47:59.340 and he has found a way to deliver, but this time, 08:47:59.340 --> 08:48:01.340 J-Wil with the pulse, didn't I so! 08:48:03.220 --> 08:48:06.300 For Kev to do what he did at the beginning of this point, 08:48:06.300 --> 08:48:11.300 and TN to take it, I mean, that is tough to swap. 08:48:11.740 --> 08:48:17.260 If you are a Virtus Pro, you cannot really ask for more from Kepster there. 08:48:17.260 --> 08:48:25.060 I mean just kind of dominating at the start of that flash point is TM somehow tie it up. 08:48:25.060 --> 08:48:26.460 One flash point of peace. 08:48:26.460 --> 08:48:30.820 Virtus Pro will get here to control the high ground yet again, TB&T just get to mech back 08:48:30.820 --> 08:48:33.860 so they have to stall for just a little bit for him to get that one. 08:48:33.860 --> 08:48:37.340 But you do have, you know, Landon does that early in the previous fight. 08:48:37.340 --> 08:48:40.580 That allows him to kind of have this Kitsune rush here. 08:48:40.580 --> 08:48:43.380 The master does have BJ, he may just run in. 08:48:43.380 --> 08:48:45.740 They're going to go for it anyway, and overwhelm Kevster. 08:48:45.740 --> 08:48:47.900 The care is good, but it's not good enough. 08:48:47.900 --> 08:48:50.580 J-Woo finds his mark in the chaos. 08:48:50.580 --> 08:48:53.140 Now, Virtus.Pro desperately scrambling, 08:48:53.140 --> 08:48:55.020 and they do grab simple in the trade, which 08:48:55.020 --> 08:48:56.180 might just be enough. 08:48:56.180 --> 08:48:58.100 Aiznop stays healthy on the point. 08:48:58.100 --> 08:49:01.900 The Bortex defends his team, but TVNT still poking and prodding 08:49:01.900 --> 08:49:02.300 for more. 08:49:02.300 --> 08:49:04.740 Aiznop says, enough is enough. 08:49:04.740 --> 08:49:07.500 Going to double down, push into Quartz's position, 08:49:07.500 --> 08:49:10.060 try to route this hitscan up to his admins. 08:49:10.060 --> 08:49:13.960 TBNT loses the suit, has to self-destruct from a purely defensive position here. 08:49:13.960 --> 08:49:16.060 Yeah, I mean they need Kev back in the fight though, right? 08:49:16.060 --> 08:49:17.960 They were just so low in terms of damage. 08:49:17.960 --> 08:49:21.860 It is VP connecting and holding the point that Dead Eye here for Kev, 08:49:21.860 --> 08:49:23.560 trying to see if he can catch somebody out. 08:49:24.560 --> 08:49:25.960 TBNT with the main pick. 08:49:25.960 --> 08:49:27.360 But he's in a weird spot though, Jake. 08:49:27.360 --> 08:49:28.960 He gets hindered and gets de-mecked. 08:49:29.660 --> 08:49:30.460 Mech is out. 08:49:30.860 --> 08:49:32.960 Annihilation from Aiznom though, could overwhelm. 08:49:32.960 --> 08:49:35.160 For now, it's just enough to take down TBNT. 08:49:35.160 --> 08:49:37.260 But Gordz finds Fixa on the rotate. 08:49:37.860 --> 08:49:39.660 With limited players alive, Aiznom... 08:49:39.660 --> 08:49:46.200 In his last final form, holding onto this point for dear life, but he's flanked. He's assaulted from all sides. 08:49:46.200 --> 08:49:50.820 Kevster, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. Ports, finds it out, didn't know. 08:49:50.820 --> 08:49:52.220 Hold on, Ice! 08:49:52.220 --> 08:49:58.220 Cycle's Gavu, Ice takes one as well. Prype comes before the fall, and falls they do. Twisted mines! 08:49:58.220 --> 08:50:03.560 With the desperation, Malga was simple falling. It'll be another flashpoint going against them. 08:50:03.560 --> 08:50:05.560 This series is going to be wild. 08:50:07.060 --> 08:50:09.560 Somehow VP pulls that out. 08:50:09.560 --> 08:50:17.060 Ice Nom, Fixa, and Landon still alive on the point is they are able to clutch up as TV and team. 08:50:17.060 --> 08:50:20.560 Let's see, you know, the Moga may have been just to kind of get back to the point. 08:50:20.560 --> 08:50:24.560 You know, but I also think like Kev, you know, they've been taking advantage of Kev. 08:50:24.560 --> 08:50:27.560 He wants more. He's not satisfied. 08:50:27.560 --> 08:50:30.560 He's picking the choke. There's no hitskin to oppose him. 08:50:30.560 --> 08:50:38.560 He'll have one and he'll take another now, forced to fully back off the point that might even create an opportunity for a free flip. 08:50:38.560 --> 08:50:42.560 And this is the comp I think that VP has looked the strongest on throughout the tournament. 08:50:42.560 --> 08:50:49.560 You know that they have not lost a new junk city. And this comp is a big reason why ICE has looked awesome on the ram. 08:50:49.560 --> 08:50:52.560 And then Kev just seems to be on another level on Cassie at this event. 08:50:52.560 --> 08:50:56.560 There'll be a rush from both sides. Nobody in control of the point just yet. 08:50:56.560 --> 08:50:58.660 Stomp there on the canvass, and a close-up beat-out. 08:50:58.660 --> 08:51:01.760 TDNT runs out of gas, the hymen overwhelms Kester. 08:51:01.760 --> 08:51:03.260 Fight, Ketmore! 08:51:03.260 --> 08:51:04.860 What a beat on the server! 08:51:04.860 --> 08:51:06.260 Looking for more! 08:51:06.260 --> 08:51:08.860 J-Boo has to run for the hills with a recall. 08:51:11.760 --> 08:51:16.560 Dude, it is so good to have Ket back at events, man. 08:51:17.660 --> 08:51:20.860 Just the plays with him on hitscan. 08:51:20.860 --> 08:51:23.260 A little bit more focus roll here on Virtus.pro 08:51:23.260 --> 08:51:25.960 than some teams in the past, maybe try to stretch his hero pool. 08:51:26.560 --> 08:51:31.120 and he is able to dominate on that hero. Annihilation here for Ice-Nom as well. 08:51:31.120 --> 08:51:35.280 No support ultimate available, and maybe you decide to get aggressive with that. 08:51:36.720 --> 08:51:39.280 Ice-Nom wants to get aggressive in these choke points. 08:51:39.280 --> 08:51:42.320 Has found many an opportunity. They swing left on the flank, 08:51:42.320 --> 08:51:46.000 putting the pressure on a TVNT to cage-fight. Horses Ice-Nom into a duel, 08:51:46.000 --> 08:51:49.680 and one that could be difficult for him to win. Kepster assists the Manga, 08:51:49.680 --> 08:51:53.440 and gets a stomp in return. TVNT trying to regroup. 08:51:53.440 --> 08:51:58.600 Now with that lifesteal activated, gonna really put a challenge on the eyes and find himself 08:51:58.600 --> 08:51:59.600 on an awkward angle. 08:51:59.600 --> 08:52:02.400 Things falling apart, 4-4 this approach. 08:52:02.400 --> 08:52:05.560 Twisted mines will reclaim the flash point. 08:52:05.560 --> 08:52:09.920 And the Magus stomp seems to be really strong at targeting the Cassidy, right? 08:52:09.920 --> 08:52:11.320 Time and time again. 08:52:11.320 --> 08:52:15.120 That time, Kev actually just kinda gets inside of the cage. 08:52:15.120 --> 08:52:18.840 So a swap from Isenom here over to the D.Va. 08:52:18.840 --> 08:52:21.840 But you know, Kev gets inside the cage, tries to kinda help. 08:52:21.840 --> 08:52:27.520 He's Ramatra, stay alive, but constantly TVNT using that charge to train Linn right on top of the cast. 08:52:28.400 --> 08:52:32.000 Aizanam goes over to the D.Va, prefers the matchup into the Maga here. 08:52:32.960 --> 08:52:38.640 With rushes available for both sides, it could be Fix's beat that makes the difference, or maybe just the high noon from Kepster. 08:52:38.880 --> 08:52:40.480 Taking all the space away. 08:52:40.720 --> 08:52:42.400 TVNT a desperate in charge. 08:52:42.880 --> 08:52:45.040 J.Woo touching point just to hold the OT. 08:52:45.760 --> 08:52:48.240 Kepster gets low though and now defines an opportunity. 08:52:48.240 --> 08:52:49.360 Deep to the back line. 08:52:49.360 --> 08:52:53.960 Quartz comes in with the OC as well, but maybe TVNT bites off more than he can chew. 08:52:53.960 --> 08:52:58.360 Kenster now has room to work with, and Psycho takes down the hope of Twisted Minds. 08:52:58.360 --> 08:53:00.960 That close bomb evaporates Quartz. 08:53:00.960 --> 08:53:05.360 J.Wood Astro will need to find a way to get this overtime touch, but it won't be easy. 08:53:06.160 --> 08:53:10.760 I wonder if Twisted Minds had an idea that Fix had that sound barrier built up to it pretty quick. 08:53:10.760 --> 08:53:14.260 It's funny Astro only a 90% and he doesn't get the touch. 08:53:14.260 --> 08:53:16.260 Virtus Pro 08:53:16.260 --> 08:53:19.700 able to take map number two and tie this series up 08:53:20.740 --> 08:53:23.820 We've got a game on our hands Matt and one that 08:53:24.580 --> 08:53:29.180 Looks at least from the eye test to potentially be a new era for 08:53:29.740 --> 08:53:31.580 Virtus Pro one in which 08:53:31.580 --> 08:53:36.060 Maybe the mental block could start to break down and I think a lot of it comes from 08:53:36.660 --> 08:53:40.420 Kepster his ability to show up in the team's moment of need 08:53:40.420 --> 08:53:45.700 This is a map they've gone to time and time again, and it's because Kevster keeps on delivering. 08:53:46.980 --> 08:53:51.380 It's just an unbelievable performance yet again from Kev. 08:53:52.180 --> 08:53:58.500 15k plus damage. I mean, we saw the clips on Cassidy, and to tie it up. I mean, 08:53:59.540 --> 08:54:05.380 this is just gonna be a all-out slugfest of a series. Two teams that know each other extremely well. 08:54:05.380 --> 08:54:12.140 It might be a little bit of a different meta obviously, you know, I patched just recently and just kind of shakes things up a little bit 08:54:12.140 --> 08:54:17.840 But yeah, these two teams I mean these are comps. We would see potentially in like I know EMEA nothing crazy 08:54:17.840 --> 08:54:22.420 Right, we're not seeing any like you know bashing cat on a lot of these maps like a lot of like, okay 08:54:22.420 --> 08:54:25.260 We're gonna put Quartz and Kevser on hitscans and we're gonna see who dominates 08:54:26.380 --> 08:54:28.860 Sure something that the fans won't be too upset about 08:54:28.860 --> 08:54:33.780 about considering the fireworks showcased across this game. 08:54:33.780 --> 08:54:34.780 I'm showing why. 08:54:34.780 --> 08:54:37.260 Hey, maybe there's a good reason you might want to consider 08:54:37.260 --> 08:54:39.180 banning out through a mantra, but now, 08:54:39.180 --> 08:54:41.220 protected for the rest of the series, right? 08:54:41.220 --> 08:54:43.220 He's going to be able to keep bringing this out. 08:54:43.220 --> 08:54:44.940 And it looks like a real problem, right? 08:54:44.940 --> 08:54:48.220 ATVNT goes to the MAGA, then the counterpick of the D.Va 08:54:48.220 --> 08:54:51.940 proves to be an adept response. 08:54:51.940 --> 08:54:54.460 And I think when TVNT kind of goes to that MAGA 08:54:54.460 --> 08:54:55.620 and they just swap over to the D.Va, 08:54:55.620 --> 08:54:57.380 they feel really comfortable there as well. 08:54:57.380 --> 08:55:00.380 So, seems like at least for Ice, right? The Ramatra... 08:55:00.380 --> 08:55:00.880 This kill! 08:55:00.880 --> 08:55:02.380 That is so stupid. 08:55:02.380 --> 08:55:04.380 I had the fact that he's able to do that. That is crazy. 08:55:04.380 --> 08:55:04.880 That... that's what... 08:55:04.880 --> 08:55:05.380 Is this the... 08:55:05.380 --> 08:55:07.380 Oh no, okay. That's the pulse from the corner. I was like, 08:55:07.380 --> 08:55:08.880 where was the rematch kill? 08:55:08.880 --> 08:55:10.380 Uh, I don't know if we'll have that. 08:55:10.380 --> 08:55:12.880 Oh, right there, actually. Fixed it just gets stomped on there. 08:55:14.380 --> 08:55:15.880 In your peripheral vision. 08:55:18.380 --> 08:55:20.880 So now, Twisted Mind's a rare map pick for them, right? 08:55:20.880 --> 08:55:23.880 Especially in these matchups here against Virtus Pro. 08:55:24.380 --> 08:55:25.880 New Junk City gone. 08:55:25.880 --> 08:55:30.880 an opportunity, like, would we see them go like a king's row? 08:55:30.880 --> 08:55:31.880 Right? 08:55:31.880 --> 08:55:32.880 I mean, that's a possibility. 08:55:32.880 --> 08:55:36.880 Do you want to go something that, like, even takes the, you know, cat-bashing, maybe, 08:55:36.880 --> 08:55:37.880 off of the map? 08:55:37.880 --> 08:55:40.880 You know, in terms of, you know, we just saw what? 08:55:40.880 --> 08:55:41.880 Did that team just play Rune of Soppy? 08:55:41.880 --> 08:55:42.880 Right? 08:55:42.880 --> 08:55:43.880 Yeah. 08:55:43.880 --> 08:55:44.880 You know, against Weibo, so maybe that's an option. 08:55:44.880 --> 08:55:48.880 They played a lot of, you know, kind of Quartz on the Soge, and then, you know, 08:55:48.880 --> 08:55:49.880 J.Wood Tracer on that map. 08:55:49.880 --> 08:55:53.880 So maybe we see them just kind of run that back on Rune of Soppy and take us to push. 08:55:53.880 --> 08:55:56.880 So many mind games between these two teams, I'm sure, right? 08:55:56.880 --> 08:55:59.240 Like, it's such a challenging one to predict 08:55:59.240 --> 08:56:01.520 because they both know each other so well. 08:56:01.520 --> 08:56:04.440 And so there's an argument to try to throw a wrench into the works 08:56:04.440 --> 08:56:07.160 and do something that you think your opponent won't expect from you. 08:56:07.160 --> 08:56:09.320 By the way, what a clip. 08:56:09.320 --> 08:56:10.800 Like, good thing you had recall, buddy. 08:56:10.800 --> 08:56:12.120 I was about to drop five. 08:56:12.120 --> 08:56:14.440 Dude, it'd be so fun to be that good. 08:56:14.440 --> 08:56:15.240 Yeah, really? 08:56:15.240 --> 08:56:16.840 It'd be so fun, bro. 08:56:16.840 --> 08:56:17.840 Oh, my God. 08:56:17.840 --> 08:56:20.040 That was a nice, that would suck. 08:56:20.040 --> 08:56:21.280 That would have to do it. 08:56:21.280 --> 08:56:27.780 But on the other parts of it, it would be awesome, as he's just a fried target for Twisted Minds. 08:56:27.780 --> 08:56:31.280 I know here's kind of like the final fight, right, where T.M. kind of goes in and maybe... 08:56:31.280 --> 08:56:34.280 Yeah, that's a sick pulse there from Psycho on the exit. 08:56:34.280 --> 08:56:39.780 And then they kind of get rid of Funny Astro as we take a look at Kevster Stats there on New Junk City. 08:56:39.780 --> 08:56:44.780 This is event-wide as well. I mean, just absolutely forming on that map. 08:56:44.780 --> 08:56:49.280 And 24 limbs per 10. He is putting in that work. 08:56:49.280 --> 08:56:55.660 Also want to give flowers to Psycho comes out of the tracer has not lost a step fantastic to see him 08:56:56.120 --> 08:57:01.440 On maybe a little bit more of a dynamic playmaker like yes the Symmetra team plays can be powerful 08:57:01.840 --> 08:57:08.160 But for me, I'd like Virtus Pro better when they're more unleashed more players who can step up to the plate 08:57:09.080 --> 08:57:14.360 And hit a potential home run just in minds this one's gonna put them back on their heels a little bit 08:57:14.360 --> 08:57:17.200 They almost certainly come into this series confident 08:57:17.200 --> 08:57:23.160 But as maps potentially start to slip away, that can't change and twisted minds, they 08:57:23.160 --> 08:57:25.020 doubled down on the Realtor. 08:57:25.020 --> 08:57:30.960 They played this earlier today and got obliterated, completely backfired on them. 08:57:30.960 --> 08:57:36.480 However, it was a very different match and I think when you go to that map in terms of 08:57:36.480 --> 08:57:39.960 your first map pick in the series, clearly it's something that has worked for you. 08:57:39.960 --> 08:57:42.520 I will also say they got brutally full held on first. 08:57:42.520 --> 08:57:46.720 We didn't get to see the scope of their defense, which is really why you picked this map. 08:57:46.720 --> 08:57:52.740 An interesting choice especially because we saw VP play this earlier in the day against Zeta, right? 08:57:53.240 --> 08:57:59.140 And they were they were kind of awesome against Zeta on this map specifically like it goes right down to the wire 08:57:59.680 --> 08:58:05.080 Virtus Pro played a really good game there. So we'll see okay 08:58:05.080 --> 08:58:09.280 So it's gonna be an Alari ban here to open things up and then the other ban Jake 08:58:09.840 --> 08:58:15.360 Did you get rid of Bastion meat just to kind of get off the table? 08:58:16.720 --> 08:58:21.520 Yeah, I wonder if they're not just like traumatized by the Sigma Muzuki and maybe get rid of the Sigma 08:58:21.520 --> 08:58:27.200 But it isn't really the inverters pro style to pull out what crazy raccoon did earlier today 08:58:28.160 --> 08:58:29.680 So, you know, it's a tough call 08:58:29.680 --> 08:58:35.520 I you know, I think when teams know each other this well when they have this many reps against one another when they're almost certainly each 08:58:35.520 --> 08:58:38.160 Other's biggest screen partner. Yeah, there we go. It's hard to call 08:58:38.160 --> 08:58:42.760 But they're gonna just get rid of the Bastion and sure there's not gonna be any of those cat Bastion shenanigans 08:58:42.760 --> 08:58:45.000 It could absolutely come into play. 08:58:45.000 --> 08:58:50.120 Yeah, because VP, like, you know, maybe you pick this, you get rid of the Ellari that 08:58:50.120 --> 08:58:55.760 protects the cat, as well, and then, you know, force them to get rid of the Bastion on the 08:58:55.760 --> 08:58:56.760 other side. 08:58:56.760 --> 08:59:03.920 So, actually, okay, so, VP, no, yeah, it's Teeamacpec, yeah, so they get rid of the Bastion 08:59:03.920 --> 08:59:06.280 first, so they don't even want to deal with it, so it's not a protective... 08:59:06.280 --> 08:59:10.520 It looked like they deferred the pick on the graphic first, but maybe that was just an 08:59:10.520 --> 08:59:11.520 error. 08:59:11.520 --> 08:59:17.440 So, VP, they get rid of the Ellori, they want to take that potential away from Twisted Minds. 08:59:20.240 --> 08:59:23.600 Definitely going to be an interesting one. I wonder if we'll see a different look, 08:59:23.600 --> 08:59:26.800 a different idea from Twisted Minds. They've had a bit of an opportunity 08:59:26.800 --> 08:59:31.280 to reflect, to watch the bot think, and maybe provide a different approach this time around on Rialto. 08:59:31.280 --> 08:59:42.280 It will be VP on defense to open things up here. 08:59:42.280 --> 08:59:47.280 It would be huge for this team, Jake, just kind of, like, big picture. 08:59:47.280 --> 08:59:50.280 Talking about crafting into the top three. 08:59:50.280 --> 08:59:52.280 Hey, National. 08:59:52.280 --> 08:59:56.280 I mean, that would speak volumes for how this team has progressed. 08:59:56.280 --> 09:00:00.280 I also think it would speak volumes to the type of players that landed in Psycho are, right? 09:00:00.280 --> 09:00:07.380 to do it in EMEA from multiple different teams now to be able to crack into top three at 09:00:07.380 --> 09:00:10.940 international is very impressive from those two players specifically. 09:00:10.940 --> 09:00:14.300 And for Kevster, what a Cinderella story. 09:00:14.300 --> 09:00:17.220 One of the best players to ever do it in Overwatch. 09:00:17.220 --> 09:00:21.900 One of the most storied players still competing at the highest level has been there almost 09:00:21.900 --> 09:00:28.860 since the very beginning and still to be outputting a performance like this, shredding 09:00:28.860 --> 09:00:34.540 the years like it like it's nothing. We'll see what twisted mindsides do here. Sonic 09:00:34.540 --> 09:00:39.700 Arrow gonna give an idea of what VP is trying to play on defense and then I 09:00:39.700 --> 09:00:44.980 think okay so they're gonna go with Azaria here. Azaria with Brig in the mix 09:00:44.980 --> 09:00:52.500 and then the funny Astro Juno. This was a fantastic look for them. In previous 09:00:52.500 --> 09:00:58.140 matches, TDNT, get in some energy, be his opportunity to maybe get some revenge on 09:00:58.140 --> 09:01:13.520 I know be offensive because you're playing into the the brig and the diva as I some gets up to the high ground there 09:01:16.180 --> 09:01:18.180 The refight for the high ground 09:01:18.700 --> 09:01:24.880 From Vixxup provides advantage to vertus pro just in minds now reeling gonna regroup on the low ground 09:01:25.420 --> 09:01:27.420 Both teams buying for that strategic position 09:01:28.140 --> 09:01:31.740 Decent amount of space though, game there by Twisted Minds. They're gonna get the 09:01:31.740 --> 09:01:36.100 speed load, they're gonna go. Psycho not able to get back towards the TP and he 09:01:36.100 --> 09:01:40.660 just gets run down, just smoked there by Symbol. Nice overwhelm, eyes on that 09:01:40.660 --> 09:01:44.380 desperation, has to come touch the payload. But Twisted Minds ready to receive 09:01:44.380 --> 09:01:50.100 all comers. A bloodbath here on first point. Twisted Minds with Azaria finding 09:01:50.100 --> 09:01:55.940 a response. Does VP just go ram here? They're gonna go ram here. 09:01:55.940 --> 09:02:01.540 You cannot try anything. I know force I snow them into those aggressive plays there on the diva into this type of calm 09:02:01.540 --> 09:02:03.220 That's quite nasty 09:02:03.220 --> 09:02:09.700 Nice TP forward puts Eisenham in position to hold this cart has to come into the form though and as this ticks out 09:02:09.700 --> 09:02:11.700 You could find yourself in real trouble 09:02:12.580 --> 09:02:16.740 For its pops POC over the top looking for an angle doesn't find anything just yet 09:02:18.140 --> 09:02:23.420 Takes it back and shuts him down the car wash sends J.Boo packing and now with the high moon 09:02:23.420 --> 09:02:30.180 Kepster reclaims position, rally gas, shuts him down for the moment, and in the thick of the grab, the beat, not enough to stay. 09:02:30.180 --> 09:02:36.740 J-Woo finds his mark with the pulse bomb, but Vixxia finds one back, and the rush is keeping eyes on stable for the moment. 09:02:36.740 --> 09:02:38.900 Hold on, they might be clutching this. 09:02:38.900 --> 09:02:44.400 Yeah, I mean, you still have Symbol here with Bunny Ash, so Bunny Ash are getting close here towards that ray. 09:02:44.400 --> 09:02:50.280 Bunny Ash is going to pop the ray here, Jake. You saw Tv and T alive, but you lose Symbol. 09:02:50.280 --> 09:02:55.580 You have Psycho coming out of a spawn with the rest of VP, and Isom's still really healthy. 09:02:56.080 --> 09:02:58.480 TB and T is just too energized. 09:02:59.780 --> 09:03:03.780 Zarya, indomitable in those final fights with energy. 09:03:04.780 --> 09:03:09.280 Definitely got pushed to their limit though. That one was not as easy as you might have hoped. 09:03:09.280 --> 09:03:14.280 Kevster being able to shut down that overclocked force, the heavy expenditure from Twisted Mind to Cap first. 09:03:14.580 --> 09:03:19.280 I mean, Isno went from like 100 HP to 0 there, but felt like a second. 09:03:19.280 --> 09:03:23.280 So Jeyu now is going to play the Pharah here, change it up. 09:03:24.280 --> 09:03:28.280 We've seen him on Pharah kind of at moments throughout the tournament. 09:03:29.280 --> 09:03:32.280 Trying to put some pressure right at the Pharah, can put pressure onto the Cassie, 09:03:32.280 --> 09:03:36.280 but also like there's no way for the Psycho to really engage with the Pharah. 09:03:36.280 --> 09:03:39.280 If you're going to use that TP, try and punish them for using it. 09:03:40.280 --> 09:03:42.280 The spam is going to be oppressive here. 09:03:42.280 --> 09:03:47.280 Just in mind, working the angles, comfortable playing a long slow fight for this pro. 09:03:47.280 --> 09:03:52.160 Ultimately harassing, but not really going to be able to commit to anything before this corner. 09:03:54.960 --> 09:03:56.760 This rocket's in poke coming down here. 09:03:57.600 --> 09:03:58.880 Four twisted mines, as... 09:03:59.560 --> 09:04:01.520 You need to, he's still really charged up, Jay. 09:04:02.240 --> 09:04:07.640 I mean, you don't have the support ults here, four twisted mines, which puts him in a weird spot, but he's already got another grab. 09:04:07.840 --> 09:04:11.320 I mean, he's doing so much, Aiznog can only really vie for time, but... 09:04:11.680 --> 09:04:14.600 The corner's a difficult place to break, like this long-range forest spam. 09:04:14.600 --> 09:04:18.440 Ultimately, you're going to have to get aggressive. You're going to have to force some kind of an opener here. 09:04:18.440 --> 09:04:21.440 I mean, you're going to get a grab plus barrage here in just a second. 09:04:21.440 --> 09:04:22.600 That could be enough. 09:04:22.600 --> 09:04:27.000 He wants to find his way through to the back line, catch those VPS and supports. 09:04:27.000 --> 09:04:31.800 Well, maybe you just overwhelm Aiznop, the Virtus.Pro with the Bank of Ultimates of their own. 09:04:31.800 --> 09:04:37.600 Not going to be an easy position to break. One of the most devastating defensive holds in the entire game here. 09:04:37.600 --> 09:04:41.600 Both teams decided to just swap them up for 10 ultimates across the board here. 09:04:41.600 --> 09:04:45.600 Rush comes out first, Landon, a bit unforced there. 09:04:45.600 --> 09:04:47.600 TVNT won't even back down. 09:04:47.600 --> 09:04:50.600 Gorts with the OC though, not finding any value. 09:04:50.600 --> 09:04:51.600 Oh! 09:04:51.600 --> 09:04:54.600 Side of the stairs, Keptus 2, but the beat keeps him alive, not alone! 09:04:54.600 --> 09:04:58.600 Keptus 2 drops, the withering of the barrage, it's still not enough. 09:04:58.600 --> 09:05:02.600 The symbol of Vexa, Landon, supports little ones to find the kills in this fight. 09:05:02.600 --> 09:05:06.600 I mean dude, that grab from TVNT was pretty sick. 09:05:06.600 --> 09:05:07.600 I don't think I've ever seen it. 09:05:07.600 --> 09:05:08.600 No, no, no. 09:05:08.600 --> 09:05:09.600 I'm not gonna lie, that was sick. 09:05:09.600 --> 09:05:12.280 Yeah, capture's two players above him on the stairs, 09:05:12.280 --> 09:05:13.480 because he kind of like drops it in, 09:05:13.480 --> 09:05:16.440 and it just kind of sucks them down from that high ground, 09:05:16.440 --> 09:05:17.280 and they kind of wrap, 09:05:17.280 --> 09:05:18.920 simple trying to put some damage down into it, 09:05:18.920 --> 09:05:22.320 but BP able to get a hold is going to be 09:05:22.320 --> 09:05:24.040 progression to rally use here by simple. 09:05:24.040 --> 09:05:25.520 They're going to use right here as well. 09:05:25.520 --> 09:05:26.360 What? 09:05:26.360 --> 09:05:27.960 IceDom is low though, hold on. 09:05:27.960 --> 09:05:28.800 He was deep on that, 09:05:28.800 --> 09:05:30.520 but he gets bailed out by the team. 09:05:30.520 --> 09:05:32.560 Two support ults thrown in essentially 09:05:32.560 --> 09:05:33.400 for nothing, 09:05:33.400 --> 09:05:34.640 meaning a Heimann from Kessler came out, 09:05:34.640 --> 09:05:37.080 but you're happy to take that trade any day of the week. 09:05:37.080 --> 09:05:41.080 I mean, you rarely see Tm do stuff like that. 09:05:41.080 --> 09:05:45.080 Punished. Now, maybe an opportunity, though. 09:05:45.080 --> 09:05:51.080 Averse for a quick to regroup, quick to stabilize the health bars, and land in 70 to that rush. 09:05:51.080 --> 09:05:54.080 Twisted mines need to find something in the next few moments with their spam. 09:05:54.080 --> 09:06:00.080 In only a minute on the clock here, Jake. Now the master deadly at range those beat shots on the enemy DPS. 09:06:00.080 --> 09:06:03.080 Forced Twisted mines to regroup and play things slow. 09:06:03.080 --> 09:06:08.620 That buys the time for Landon to get towards the rush and with 50 seconds of the clock a tough ask for TM 09:06:08.620 --> 09:06:12.100 I mean, you're not gonna get support ultimate for twisted mines towards MJ 09:06:12.100 --> 09:06:18.520 We were dangerously low continue rush comes on in as we are well below a minute on the clock. I just hunt down simple 09:06:19.720 --> 09:06:26.300 Great evacuation, but you can solve it a little bit too. Yeah. Oh, this is gonna be rough because it's a long road back 09:06:26.300 --> 09:06:28.300 Yeah, no obvious overtime toucher 09:06:29.760 --> 09:06:31.760 This has been brutal for twisted mines 09:06:33.080 --> 09:06:36.700 This TVNT does have a grab that's not exactly going to help them, uh... 09:06:37.100 --> 09:06:39.020 I mean, J-Woo has to touch the cut part. 09:06:39.020 --> 09:06:39.660 Yeah, I mean... 09:06:40.900 --> 09:06:42.060 20 seconds... 09:06:42.900 --> 09:06:44.580 Considering your options, J-Woo... 09:06:45.720 --> 09:06:49.940 Better safe than sorry, and it seems like Virtus.Pro might just allow this overtime to come in. 09:06:49.940 --> 09:06:52.020 They're going to back off and play the corner that has been... 09:06:52.980 --> 09:06:54.660 The link to their defense. 09:06:54.660 --> 09:06:57.060 I mean, maybe you engage fast with beat here, it's going to be... 09:06:57.300 --> 09:06:58.220 Overclock and... 09:06:58.220 --> 09:06:59.020 Don't get touched! 09:06:59.540 --> 09:07:01.060 Whoa, it's an eye-catastro! 09:07:01.060 --> 09:07:08.360 He stabilizes, catchs for fact, back from inside the crowd, finds two, and the team cleans up. 09:07:08.360 --> 09:07:15.160 Twisted Minds. It looked possible for a moment, but the beat from Fixa prevents all possibilities, 09:07:15.160 --> 09:07:22.160 and that hole is gonna sting. Twisted Minds caught in the web there for longer than they would have liked. 09:07:22.160 --> 09:07:33.160 It's a great defense from VP, I mean a pretty fast point A take there, four twisted mines 09:07:33.160 --> 09:07:38.320 but not good enough to be able to kind of push to that second check point. 09:07:38.320 --> 09:07:42.200 And Virtus.pro did a great job kind of holding that corner. 09:07:42.200 --> 09:07:46.680 I mean, I think about that double support ult growing in, like I believe Aizam got 09:07:46.680 --> 09:07:50.640 booped down to the low ground by a Farconk and they thought maybe we can just punish 09:07:50.640 --> 09:07:54.960 with the rally, but then the raid comes out at the same time and you still don't get the kill. 09:07:56.240 --> 09:07:59.600 That's rough. It's the rest, right? I mean, you don't have the Lucio. 09:07:59.600 --> 09:08:03.600 Your ability to catch a tank who wants to run away from you, much less a Ramatra? 09:08:06.080 --> 09:08:10.960 Very limited. And now Twisted Minds on defense. They'll commit to this far. 09:08:12.080 --> 09:08:17.440 Yeah, are you feeling this right now? I mean, I don't mind it on the defense. I will say it's 09:08:17.440 --> 09:08:21.380 It's a lot easier, I think, to pilot on defense when you can play around these buildings, 09:08:21.380 --> 09:08:23.580 but it's not my preferred far map. 09:08:23.580 --> 09:08:26.380 For me, it's just not great positions. 09:08:26.380 --> 09:08:30.260 The buildings are not really able to play over the top of them easily. 09:08:30.260 --> 09:08:32.860 You don't quite have the gas for it, especially on this first corner. 09:08:33.820 --> 09:08:36.780 And I feel like Virtus Pro will see this out of the spawn, 09:08:36.780 --> 09:08:39.200 and they will just play exactly what we just saw them play, right? 09:08:39.200 --> 09:08:41.240 They'll end up playing that Rematra with the Cassidy, 09:08:42.340 --> 09:08:47.080 Lucio with Kiri, and they'll have no problem taking this type of matchup. 09:08:47.440 --> 09:08:52.120 Dexter, he's gonna see what he's up against, see what he decides to go out with. 09:08:52.120 --> 09:08:56.360 Eisenham on the wrecking ball for now, but gonna end up over on the diva. 09:08:56.360 --> 09:09:01.760 And Psycho, love this to have the tracer, not gonna be forcing the Symmetra into that far off. 09:09:01.760 --> 09:09:04.000 And without a tracer on the other side of the field, 09:09:04.000 --> 09:09:06.280 he's gonna be able to get deep into this back line if he wants to. 09:09:06.280 --> 09:09:10.400 Yet maybe you play the diva here instead of the ram because you need some like high ground control, 09:09:10.400 --> 09:09:15.240 right? You just can't kind of concede it all and like, you know, have the Zarya up there all alone, 09:09:15.240 --> 09:09:19.640 and maybe you want to make a play around this corner as you see Ice Noem. 09:09:19.640 --> 09:09:24.160 I mean, you have the rig up there, the far, I mean, you see J.Woo just kind of like watching 09:09:24.160 --> 09:09:25.160 that off angle, right? 09:09:25.160 --> 09:09:28.920 Knowing that Psycho could potentially come around that is going to be about to high ground 09:09:28.920 --> 09:09:29.920 all. 09:09:29.920 --> 09:09:33.960 The Ashes forward, Glandon will take his head off, and that's going to be more than enough 09:09:33.960 --> 09:09:35.280 opportunity to swing forward. 09:09:35.280 --> 09:09:39.800 TVNT wants to find a trade on the Kevster, start between a rock and a hard place, no 09:09:39.800 --> 09:09:44.120 way out for the Zarya, so he's going to stand and fight, but against the full force, Upward 09:09:44.120 --> 09:09:48.120 it's not enough and meanwhile, Psycho cleans a solo kill of his own. 09:09:48.120 --> 09:09:53.120 Twisted mines. They should be a much better hold on first than what we just saw. 09:09:53.120 --> 09:09:57.120 Yes, I mean, dude, they're trying to like fully commit to get rid of Kev, 09:09:57.120 --> 09:10:03.120 but it's such a great job from VB with like defense matrix and then there's Suzy with just a raw HPS 09:10:03.120 --> 09:10:09.120 being able to keep him alive as T.V. and T. will be able to step up, can test here. 09:10:09.120 --> 09:10:13.120 Almost a must win fight, you think about it for Twisted Mines with the way this is gone. 09:10:13.120 --> 09:10:18.120 Simple, still fighting Quartz, takes down Landon and that's huge. 09:10:18.120 --> 09:10:23.120 Without the heal throughput, Virtus Pro have to beat a hasty retreat, no chance to stick around in that fight. 09:10:23.120 --> 09:10:32.120 Quartz buys a new lease on life and this is a defense that can get a little bit scary for Virtus Pro rather on these walk-ups. 09:10:32.120 --> 09:10:35.120 A lot of space to work with and J.Woo is going to contest every inch of it. 09:10:35.120 --> 09:10:38.120 And I like the swap here from J.Woo over to the tracer. 09:10:38.120 --> 09:10:42.120 I think the ball, I know, especially with the way that Kev is hitting right now. 09:10:43.120 --> 09:10:48.120 Not exactly the pick, is it's going to be a dead eye here. They're going to try and, you know, just muscle their way through this first point. 09:10:49.120 --> 09:10:54.120 Rush now comes out, cycling with the pulse on the court, takes down the tip of the spear, the grab is good. 09:10:54.120 --> 09:10:58.120 But where's the follow-up, where's the damage? Reborn and rally fast, will it be enough fixa? 09:10:58.120 --> 09:11:05.120 Doesn't find the opportunity to drop the beat. Simple though, does go down in the chaos, but with just slivers of HP, surely. 09:11:05.120 --> 09:11:11.280 This is James fight blues. I'm still fighting forces out the orbital ray. It's nice 09:11:12.320 --> 09:11:14.320 This is not enough to take first point 09:11:14.800 --> 09:11:20.000 Man, I thought there was an opportunity to maybe beat there. I do wonder 09:11:20.000 --> 09:11:25.280 I think it's uh, yeah, I mean maybe they think that there's they're just gonna kind of get wiped and they're gonna save it 09:11:25.280 --> 09:11:28.240 But I mean a lot of risk. Yeah, it's so risky 09:11:28.240 --> 09:11:33.080 I mean you do have a decent amount of time to come back and be here right now with the Ramatra 09:11:33.080 --> 09:11:35.080 Maybe just kind of run them over 09:11:35.120 --> 09:11:42.040 But if you don't win that, you could have had an opportunity off a player to use that 09:11:42.040 --> 09:11:43.040 beat. 09:11:43.040 --> 09:11:46.200 Be the overclock, now it'll be December, December it doesn't get that way, Kev. 09:11:46.200 --> 09:11:51.000 Yeah, it's just defending people, but Quartz still has another shot to deliver. 09:11:51.000 --> 09:11:54.480 Beautiful wrap from VP though, they take the defenders' position, twisted minds. 09:11:54.480 --> 09:11:58.120 In an awkward spot, they're knocked upon the side of the map that you want to be on, especially 09:11:58.120 --> 09:12:00.120 with eyes on forcing the issue on Karte. 09:12:00.120 --> 09:12:04.040 TBNT though getting energized throughout the chaos slowly building ahead of steam 09:12:04.040 --> 09:12:09.600 They will find Slandin and that could be it twisted minds now with the player advantage and two surely 09:12:09.600 --> 09:12:12.180 It's too much for this pro have to find a quick reset 09:12:13.320 --> 09:12:17.880 It feels like DP may have fumbled this map Jake, which is brutal 09:12:19.600 --> 09:12:22.100 TM just watching up here. I 09:12:23.040 --> 09:12:25.040 Like the angle they took they wrapped all the way around 09:12:25.040 --> 09:12:26.600 There's still a chance, Matt. 09:12:26.600 --> 09:12:27.600 You know, ult for TM. 09:12:27.600 --> 09:12:31.040 If you can get a decent touch here and get into an overtime fight, 09:12:31.040 --> 09:12:32.040 it tends to take you. 09:12:32.040 --> 09:12:35.040 You do have ult advantage, but it's so much easier said than done. 09:12:35.040 --> 09:12:36.040 Dead eye. 09:12:36.040 --> 09:12:37.040 Gonna push them back a little bit. 09:12:37.040 --> 09:12:39.040 It's gonna allow them to touch. 09:12:39.040 --> 09:12:42.040 Oh, Zarya caught, but they can't force her off the payload. 09:12:42.040 --> 09:12:44.040 Cycle now does get that O2 touch. 09:12:44.040 --> 09:12:46.040 Aiznum is here in position. 09:12:46.040 --> 09:12:48.040 Fixed it over the top, getting burned down. 09:12:48.040 --> 09:12:51.040 J-Woo desperate for the kill, and they'll find it. 09:12:51.040 --> 09:12:56.640 The most bomb though does hit on a TP and T, but a stick is good, not even needed, because Icedem has already fallen. 09:12:57.560 --> 09:13:00.440 And a fumble, it must be, twisted mines. 09:13:00.840 --> 09:13:02.680 Hold the door on first point. 09:13:03.680 --> 09:13:07.160 And defend their map pick, going up to one in the series. 09:13:11.280 --> 09:13:14.400 And with how good VP looked on defense, 09:13:15.360 --> 09:13:16.400 none of it matters. 09:13:16.880 --> 09:13:20.560 I mean, they had plenty of opportunities, it feels like. 09:13:21.040 --> 09:13:26.040 On offense, just not able to get it done, some tremendous plays from TM, 09:13:26.040 --> 09:13:28.340 constantly able to come up clutch. 09:13:28.840 --> 09:13:34.040 I know J.Woo makes a swap over from Farah to Tracer, and really starts to open things up 09:13:34.340 --> 09:13:37.040 in a huge way for twisted minds, but... 09:13:37.640 --> 09:13:39.040 Aw, your VP... 09:13:39.540 --> 09:13:42.540 You'll be kicking yourself watching that one back. I mean, that is tough. 09:13:43.240 --> 09:13:46.840 Got to hand it to Quartz and J.Woo. They came up clutch and fight after fight. 09:13:46.840 --> 09:13:52.760 We got down to those scrappy overtime fights at the final meterage of first point. 09:13:52.760 --> 09:13:57.520 And consistently, it was the DPS from Twisted Minds to find those opening kills. 09:13:57.520 --> 09:14:00.520 And in that kind of a fight, balanced on the edge of a knife, 09:14:00.520 --> 09:14:05.520 an opening pick from a DPS is usually more than enough to get the job done. 09:14:05.520 --> 09:14:08.800 Right, I mean, dude, it feels like such great opportunities. 09:14:08.800 --> 09:14:11.240 We take a look at some of the highlights there. 09:14:11.240 --> 09:14:13.120 Nice suit you've been in the beat. 09:14:13.120 --> 09:14:17.320 This is not enough, though, to get that whole 4VP. 09:14:17.320 --> 09:14:20.360 I love it if we'd have, potentially, in the highlights, 09:14:20.360 --> 09:14:21.800 right there, one fight, they were all here. 09:14:21.800 --> 09:14:22.800 The grab was sick. 09:14:22.800 --> 09:14:24.400 Oh, they actually even see people. 09:14:24.400 --> 09:14:26.320 Yeah. 09:14:26.320 --> 09:14:27.800 The fight where Ficksa, we were like, 09:14:27.800 --> 09:14:29.600 ah, is he going to beat like the grab was there? 09:14:29.600 --> 09:14:31.400 They, because I think maybe they thought 09:14:31.400 --> 09:14:32.960 that people were going to end up dying in the grab, 09:14:32.960 --> 09:14:35.840 and they actually had everybody kind of alive after. 09:14:35.840 --> 09:14:37.400 Yeah, I was like, you almost couldn't believe it. 09:14:37.400 --> 09:14:40.320 They had like four players in the grab. 09:14:40.320 --> 09:14:42.800 They got four-man rally bashed. 09:14:42.800 --> 09:14:49.420 And I agree there was that like one second where maybe to be comes off, but I mean the risk of an Ajax so high there 09:14:49.420 --> 09:14:52.100 I mean, that's why we do see Ajax is at this level of play because 09:14:52.740 --> 09:14:57.340 Sometimes there are moments where you know with hindsight you might say you should have risked it, but 09:14:57.780 --> 09:15:02.340 Can't blame fix up for that one in my eyes, and I think they also they got a decent use of it 09:15:02.340 --> 09:15:05.720 It's not like they didn't get it off. It's just didn't connect with Kev. That's the one thing 09:15:05.780 --> 09:15:09.340 Yeah, you know, it's actually did its job and mitigated the overclock 09:15:09.340 --> 09:15:14.300 This is it right here. I think this like how do they live? They're still alive. They're still alive. There's so many players shooting them 09:15:14.300 --> 09:15:16.780 I will say I don't know 09:15:17.260 --> 09:15:22.700 Is it because I said you know is it because I said I had got a self-destructing if the you know didn't make me 09:15:22.700 --> 09:15:24.700 I don't know yeah, I mean 09:15:24.700 --> 09:15:28.740 Honestly, I think he Ajax is there. I really don't think you can pop 09:15:28.740 --> 09:15:34.620 We haven't had he's low. We haven't got a tournament though. It would have been nice to get one of those spots where even if 09:15:34.620 --> 09:15:41.520 You don't Ajax, it just seems like you're gonna lose a teammate before the game comes down and it's gonna be thrown away. 09:15:41.520 --> 09:15:48.920 Aw, it's just looking at it after, right? You're kinda like, uh, yeah, maybe we take a look at TB&T is... 09:15:48.920 --> 09:15:54.420 I know his ability to play Zarya has really been a huge difference maker in this series specifically, right? 09:15:54.420 --> 09:15:56.420 Giving them some trouble on that hero. 09:15:57.420 --> 09:16:02.420 Definitely an asset, always strong in the front line, enabling that brig to come out. 09:16:02.420 --> 09:16:07.420 Simple has to do some pretty monster healing in that map. 09:16:07.420 --> 09:16:16.420 I mean, you know, the supports from Twisted Minds always play really phenomenally, especially here on land. 09:16:16.420 --> 09:16:19.420 They just kind of do so many different things with that backline of Simple and Funny Asher. 09:16:19.420 --> 09:16:24.420 And I think you can see when we see on the TM side of the stage, it's been a long day for these teams. 09:16:24.420 --> 09:16:27.420 Runosopy is the map pick here for Virtus.Pro. 09:16:27.420 --> 09:16:30.420 Typically in Overwatch, you don't get a lot of three-match days, right? 09:16:30.420 --> 09:16:31.420 No. 09:16:31.420 --> 09:16:34.420 Yeah, this is a long day for them. 09:16:34.420 --> 09:16:36.420 Absolutely. 09:16:36.420 --> 09:16:49.420 Against a familiar opponent in a match that may very well go down to the wire, but what confidence to take us to Runisabi against, I mean, Twisted mind just picked this map quite often in this tournament, Matt. 09:16:49.420 --> 09:16:53.420 I mean, this is a, you're going right into the Hornets nest with this one. 09:16:53.420 --> 09:16:55.420 Well, I mean, where would you have wanted them to go? 09:16:55.420 --> 09:16:59.660 go like let's say you know maybe both of these teams through scrims and whatnot 09:16:59.660 --> 09:17:03.300 know that they can have the same you know hybrid preference right maybe they 09:17:03.300 --> 09:17:06.220 both would have like said okay we're both gonna go to King's Row or something 09:17:06.220 --> 09:17:11.460 like that so let's take our you know a pick of the pushes is I imagine what's 09:17:11.460 --> 09:17:15.100 going on in the talent room is a lot like what we see from TV and TV screen 09:17:15.100 --> 09:17:21.860 right now he's relaxing honestly though you know I like to see this from a 09:17:21.860 --> 09:17:26.780 He's bad and I love it and we can make fun of this, but this is like legitimately in a day this long 09:17:26.840 --> 09:17:30.260 You need to conserve your energy. Yeah, so much is asked of him 09:17:30.260 --> 09:17:36.860 You know like today and he's been rock solid like find me the mistake dude from TV and T in the day like find me a 09:17:36.860 --> 09:17:41.100 Big misplay that he's done. I really don't see it. We rarely kind of like 09:17:41.540 --> 09:17:45.900 You know, but he is developed into a tank that is like I mean 09:17:45.900 --> 09:17:49.780 It's obvious like he isn't like the kind of like the you know top of the world kind of caliber 09:17:49.780 --> 09:17:54.180 especially unlike the Divas, are you, but maybe let's get like put in that conversation as often because like how 09:17:54.340 --> 09:17:58.500 They're strong the team around them is but you know, it's very rare to like, you know 09:17:58.500 --> 09:18:01.980 Maybe like at win internationals. There's like maybe like more or two games 09:18:01.980 --> 09:18:06.580 You look at like where you know TV and TV like I knew that I had a little bit of an off-game whatnot 09:18:06.580 --> 09:18:13.620 But okay, so it will be the Juno ban here from VP and TM gets rid of the diva 09:18:13.620 --> 09:18:17.280 I was like, oh, we're gonna see a diva ban potentially in this series and they get rid of it 09:18:17.280 --> 09:18:24.280 Interesting choice considering their preference for the Zarya in the first place, I mean, I don't think it's unplayable to take the D.Va into that matchup. 09:18:24.280 --> 09:18:30.280 But maybe they feel pretty good about his Zarya into their Ram. They're not really worried about that type of setup. 09:18:30.280 --> 09:18:36.280 Actually, now that I think about it, the D.Va man makes total sense. When you ban the Juno, you almost implicitly ban the Brig. 09:18:36.280 --> 09:18:46.280 That's really the comp that gets played as the Juno plus Brig. And without the Brig on the field, D.Va is really free to, you know, get deep on the back line, get on top of a player like Quartz in particular. 09:18:46.280 --> 09:18:52.280 right who is somebody you want to enable and so okay you say well you take away our 09:18:52.280 --> 09:18:57.120 our brick Juno backline we're not gonna let you get frisky on court you know 09:18:57.120 --> 09:19:00.280 you're gonna have to fight your way through with some good old-fashioned 09:19:00.280 --> 09:19:03.320 hitscan dueling which is a place for twisted minds it's an old standby for 09:19:03.320 --> 09:19:07.400 them if it's you got a player like quartz on your roster you want the game 09:19:07.400 --> 09:19:12.640 to be a straightforward able I mean you just win that more often than not yeah 09:19:12.640 --> 09:19:22.640 Twisted Minds, one map away here from joining Zeta Division and Crazy Raccoon in our final day of play. 09:19:22.640 --> 09:19:28.640 I am, you know, Twisted Minds. Look, they hear a lot of the chatter, right? 09:19:28.640 --> 09:19:33.640 Like, I know you can kind of look online where it's like, oh yeah, finally now that we're not on, like, some of the Sin Metas, you know, Twisted Minds. 09:19:33.640 --> 09:19:41.640 We can get back to, like, you know, normal, you know, schedule programming, right? Let's just get, I know whether it be Falcons, Crazy Raccoon, or Zeta Division in a final. 09:19:41.640 --> 09:19:48.820 I think they want to like kind of buff that trend. I think they're probably pissed about how they looked against Crazy Raccoon because they looked quite poor 09:19:49.440 --> 09:19:52.520 And they want to get this one. They want to run this one all the way back 09:19:54.320 --> 09:19:58.880 And to buy yourself a new lease on life as you said that to survive to day three 09:19:59.800 --> 09:20:06.160 Would be a much needed respite but not something that the players can afford to consider yet. You got to earn your way there 09:20:06.160 --> 09:20:13.160 Two more maps still to potentially be played in this series and Virtus.pro for their tournament life. 09:20:13.160 --> 09:20:15.160 It's Runosopy. 09:20:22.160 --> 09:20:29.160 Like you mentioned, this is a map that we've seen twisted minds select and have pretty good showings. 09:20:29.160 --> 09:20:32.160 Here at Champions Clash. 09:20:32.160 --> 09:20:37.400 VP, I think they'll play this for a mantra that seems to be what they go to right after 09:20:37.400 --> 09:20:39.160 the D.Va is gone. 09:20:39.160 --> 09:20:41.160 Twisted minds? 09:20:41.160 --> 09:20:42.160 Wait, Hazard? 09:20:42.160 --> 09:20:43.160 It's real. 09:20:43.160 --> 09:20:44.160 Wow. 09:20:44.160 --> 09:20:48.440 No, there's, so, who was, I was reading one of the interviews, one of the players they 09:20:48.440 --> 09:20:51.720 were like talking about how, you know, Hazard was like pretty close to kind of being in the 09:20:51.720 --> 09:20:52.720 middle. 09:20:52.720 --> 09:20:56.640 Maybe one of the interviews in the EMEA, underrated and underrated, and then also Hazard gets 09:20:56.640 --> 09:20:57.640 some adjustments, right? 09:20:57.640 --> 09:20:58.640 Yeah. 09:20:58.640 --> 09:21:04.100 potentially something hazard with the far quite interesting and curious what 09:21:04.100 --> 09:21:09.200 Kev can do in this one a lot is asked of TVNT on the hazard can he get 09:21:09.200 --> 09:21:13.020 aggressive can he shut down that Cassidy or at least keep him under pressure so 09:21:13.020 --> 09:21:17.220 Quartz and Jaewoo have room to work what's your thoughts on the hazard into 09:21:17.220 --> 09:21:24.580 the rematch though? He finds the kill onto the Lucio hazard typically a tank that 09:21:24.580 --> 09:21:30.960 More or less avoids the straight-up tank battle. Yeah, they're getting maybe some of the advantages the rematcher has in the front line 09:21:30.960 --> 09:21:37.620 I mean you just see the survivability as well of the hazard right being really gonna go in the takeout kept there towards a while 09:21:37.920 --> 09:21:43.060 Locking is I don't think VP expected this at all. No, I mean I wouldn't 09:21:43.420 --> 09:21:47.940 Then we've seen TV and he play hazard. I wouldn't say it's like one of his like kind of go-tos, right? 09:21:47.940 --> 09:21:50.260 It's a lot of like, you know rematcher a maga 09:21:50.260 --> 09:21:57.440 D.Va, Zarya by coming out here playing the hazard is definitely thrown off VP maybe a little bit 09:21:58.840 --> 09:22:05.060 See if they can find the answers and be curious about even something like the Sigma the Zarya here 09:22:08.240 --> 09:22:13.000 The Isom's gonna stick with the rematch for now one fight won't be enough to shake his confidence and 09:22:13.360 --> 09:22:17.800 That's fair considering the results so far in this tournament. Symbol's gonna get this rush so fast 09:22:17.800 --> 09:22:20.520 Oh, that's you gotta somehow find a way to bridge that gap 09:22:21.040 --> 09:22:24.200 But I don't think twisted minds are gonna give you that opportunity 09:22:24.640 --> 09:22:27.900 Kassar needs to come up huge in this fight a big swing now from TVMT 09:22:27.900 --> 09:22:32.260 The rush comes in to follow it up a full retreat from Virtus.Pro gonna yield a lot of cart time 09:22:32.260 --> 09:22:37.520 Yeah, try to find their own rush with the damage just overwhelming landed a defensive rush of his own 09:22:37.760 --> 09:22:41.400 But TVMT still holds his ground. J.Boo finds Kassar in the KO. 09:22:41.400 --> 09:22:42.900 Oh, he's down for it. 09:22:42.900 --> 09:22:46.980 Huge get it, Suzu. Despite the rush, it's gonna be overwhelming 09:22:46.980 --> 09:22:56.980 Aw, this has been brutal, man. VP. That is checkpoint. And then some here. Four twisted mines. 09:22:57.980 --> 09:23:04.980 As they are looking to close this one out, Jake. I mean, you're going to have Kepster's dead eye. It's going to, like, back them up a little bit. 09:23:04.980 --> 09:23:06.980 Like, Quartz with this OC. Here's going to be the dead eye. 09:23:07.980 --> 09:23:08.980 Oh, great dragon ball. 09:23:09.980 --> 09:23:13.980 Really difficult to find to follow up. The rail shot is good. But Aiznab does find one. 09:23:13.980 --> 09:23:15.980 Let's find one. 09:23:15.980 --> 09:23:20.300 Hortz though, another with the OC, looking for more with the help of TVNT, disrupting 09:23:20.300 --> 09:23:21.300 the backline. 09:23:21.300 --> 09:23:23.460 He's locked in, he's dialled. 09:23:23.460 --> 09:23:28.620 The very same map that this team won the World Championship on. 09:23:28.620 --> 09:23:32.740 Surely another full cap would be too much to ask for, but maybe for the fans, they've 09:23:32.740 --> 09:23:33.740 got to believe. 09:23:33.740 --> 09:23:35.500 Hortz is like, hey, let's get out of here. 09:23:35.500 --> 09:23:37.980 I mean, it's been a long day. 09:23:37.980 --> 09:23:38.980 Coming up with a view. 09:23:38.980 --> 09:23:42.380 We may see J.Woo be able to find an angle here on the flank with Sparrage. 09:23:42.380 --> 09:23:49.000 So fix it and watch these sound barriers as well fix it and funny astro both with beat is ice. No I'm here a rare hazard 09:23:49.000 --> 09:23:53.220 Be hazard matchup. It's gonna be the early beef here from twisted. He's not down 09:23:54.120 --> 09:23:58.140 He's overwhelmed. He does die for that. What do you do with this beat now if you're VP? 09:23:58.140 --> 09:24:01.540 I mean they've got it just hold they can't afford to lose players catch the 09:24:02.660 --> 09:24:05.700 TNT takes down fix up denies the beat now 09:24:05.700 --> 09:24:12.620 Now, Kester in the sights of the cart continues to roll inextricably towards a finish in the tournament life of Virtus.Pro, 09:24:12.620 --> 09:24:17.560 slipping through their fingers like so many grains of sand, twisted minds, undeniable. 09:24:18.500 --> 09:24:23.100 Simple with the rush here. You're gonna have to get a use of this sound barrier from Fixa. 09:24:23.900 --> 09:24:28.420 Twisted minds doesn't want to pull through the choke just yet, playing this quite passively. 09:24:28.420 --> 09:24:29.300 Now I'm gonna end up... 09:24:29.300 --> 09:24:30.500 Quarks! Quarks! Quarts! 09:24:30.500 --> 09:24:34.980 With two moves, it's almost all over now, the third of a fight! 09:24:35.640 --> 09:24:37.720 It's all over the cry now! 09:24:37.720 --> 09:24:40.580 The desperation back from the spawn, ice up! 09:24:41.380 --> 09:24:42.860 They give him no quarter! 09:24:43.360 --> 09:24:44.900 Hazard though, doesn't make it back! 09:24:44.900 --> 09:24:46.440 Psycho to hold the point for now! 09:24:46.440 --> 09:24:48.440 Jeffster by the bump and no one to touch! 09:24:48.860 --> 09:24:51.260 Twist the cards again and again! 09:24:51.940 --> 09:24:57.340 Staying alive in this tournament, earning a reprieve in Tokyo! 09:24:57.340 --> 09:25:08.060 Man, it feels like after watching that map, maybe after Rialto and the way that went for 09:25:08.060 --> 09:25:13.940 VP, you kind of ran out of steam, a little bit of confidence, twisted minds, although 09:25:13.940 --> 09:25:16.740 VP made it interesting, right? 09:25:16.740 --> 09:25:22.860 Still kind of holds serve as the kings of EMEA and now I'm really interested, TF is 09:25:22.860 --> 09:25:24.740 like, hey, let's run this back tomorrow. 09:25:24.740 --> 09:25:31.500 I mean, the CR versus Zeta is going to be a tremendous match, but I also think, like, 09:25:31.500 --> 09:25:34.620 you know, TM, I think they're still alive in this one, right? 09:25:34.620 --> 09:25:38.940 Like, I know with the way they looked against CR, I think you probably have to, like, you 09:25:38.940 --> 09:25:43.500 know, CR is playing extremely well right now, like, you're asking me to pick right now. 09:25:43.500 --> 09:25:49.460 I probably say CR beats Zeta, but the man, Twisted Minds, like, they get that type of 09:25:49.460 --> 09:25:50.460 style. 09:25:50.460 --> 09:25:52.820 I almost think they need to, like, throw out what everybody else is playing and just kind 09:25:52.820 --> 09:25:56.820 If you're going to go out, go out playing the type of style that they're used to. 09:25:56.820 --> 09:25:58.820 Yeah, go out with your own look. 09:25:58.820 --> 09:26:03.820 And, you know, the fearless confidence in themselves has been this team's calling card. 09:26:03.820 --> 09:26:04.820 Yeah. 09:26:04.820 --> 09:26:07.820 And it's absolutely here to stay on Runosopy. 09:26:07.820 --> 09:26:11.820 I mean, this is the, you know, this is the, Virtus.Pro has new junk city. 09:26:11.820 --> 09:26:12.820 DM has Runosopy. 09:26:12.820 --> 09:26:16.820 They like, I feel like they full cap this map more often than they don't. 09:26:16.820 --> 09:26:17.820 That's, that's great. 09:26:17.820 --> 09:26:20.820 I mean, historically in push, we do not see full caps that often. 09:26:20.820 --> 09:26:24.260 What, 5-10% of the time for Cam is like 50%. 09:26:24.260 --> 09:26:30.460 Yeah, it is pretty rare to see that, but Twisted Minds, they secure their spot in at the top 09:26:30.460 --> 09:26:31.460 three. 09:26:31.460 --> 09:26:33.460 Let's go to stage and hear from Twisted Minds. 09:26:33.460 --> 09:26:38.500 You guys had a very long day, so I'm going to try to keep this short and simple. 09:26:38.500 --> 09:26:40.060 I want to ask you about your Tracer play. 09:26:40.060 --> 09:26:44.500 I personally believe you are probably one of the best Tracers in the Champions class 09:26:44.500 --> 09:26:45.500 right now. 09:26:45.500 --> 09:26:46.500 So I want to hear from you. 09:26:46.500 --> 09:26:50.500 What did you say you're the best Tracer right now in ODBCS? 09:27:16.500 --> 09:27:29.500 I'm good at some things, but my teammates are good at some things, so I think I can show them that I'm good at some things like the second or third game. 09:27:29.500 --> 09:27:36.500 I do want to say that I am pretty good, but it's not only me, it's also because I have great teammates 09:27:36.500 --> 09:27:39.500 that support me to look good on Tracer as well. 09:27:39.500 --> 09:27:45.500 And if I continue this play with my teammates, I am sure that we could get more wins moving forward. 09:27:59.500 --> 09:28:09.500 Talking about moving forward, you do have a really big match tomorrow. You're going to be facing either Crazy Raccoon or Zeta. How are you feeling about that match? 09:28:29.500 --> 09:28:45.500 I don't know which team will come down, but I think it would be great if the first game and the team would be good. 09:28:45.500 --> 09:28:52.940 I think it's definitely doable. I can't really say who we are going to face off tomorrow because both of them are very scary opponents. 09:28:52.940 --> 09:28:57.460 But if we prepare well for tomorrow, I think we do have a strong chance of winning. 09:29:11.460 --> 09:29:13.860 That's it for the interview. Thank you so much, Yoh. 09:29:15.500 --> 09:29:17.500 Thank you very much. 09:29:19.500 --> 09:29:22.500 This will be returned to you by the people of Jikyousa. 09:29:26.500 --> 09:29:28.500 This is good so far. 09:30:45.500 --> 09:30:47.500 And now the first round is going to be a quick one. 09:30:47.500 --> 09:30:52.240 I'm going to beat the last two players and keep the other team strong. 09:30:52.240 --> 09:30:56.280 I'm going to beat the last two players and I'm going to make the first match a better one. 09:30:56.280 --> 09:31:00.420 And now we're going to match the first match. 09:31:00.420 --> 09:31:01.920 That was crazy! 09:31:04.920 --> 09:31:10.400 And now we're going to see where you're going to score the first match. 09:31:10.400 --> 09:31:12.460 You're going to score the first match. 09:31:12.460 --> 09:31:14.460 I'm going to show you the whole fight. 09:31:14.460 --> 09:31:16.460 I'm going to show you the whole fight. 09:31:16.460 --> 09:31:18.460 I'm going to show you the whole fight. 09:31:18.460 --> 09:31:20.460 I'm going to show you the whole fight. 09:31:20.460 --> 09:31:23.460 Welcome back one more time. 09:31:23.460 --> 09:31:26.460 One last time I am joined by Averill, by Ash, 09:31:26.460 --> 09:31:30.460 and the ever so brilliant, funny astro, my guy. 09:31:30.460 --> 09:31:33.460 You had the longest day in the history of days. 09:31:33.460 --> 09:31:36.460 Are you tired? Are you amped off on like adrenaline? 09:31:36.460 --> 09:31:38.460 What's happening in your body right now? 09:31:38.460 --> 09:31:39.460 A lot of caffeine. 09:31:39.460 --> 09:31:41.460 A lot of caffeine. 09:31:41.460 --> 09:31:46.620 It's been a really long day, but yeah, I'm just relieved that we've managed to make it this far. Yeah 09:31:46.620 --> 09:31:50.220 I can imagine it's been a grueling day. That is for certain 09:31:50.220 --> 09:31:53.580 You guys started off with a really hard matchup as well up against crazy 09:31:53.580 --> 09:31:59.460 And I think that I'm kind of curious to see what the vibes are like for the team as the day kind of carried on 09:31:59.620 --> 09:32:05.360 Do you guys have any kind of like dip in energy and if you did what did you guys do to bring things back up here for this last match? 09:32:05.360 --> 09:32:11.180 I think the loss to crazy recruins wasn't that bad because it was over so quickly that it was like almost not enough time to 09:32:11.180 --> 09:32:15.260 sad about. We got rolled so hard that it was just like we clearly weren't playing 09:32:15.260 --> 09:32:19.300 the game, we weren't ready for anything they were doing, so just focus on the 09:32:19.300 --> 09:32:22.780 next game. We knew Webber was gonna be easy for us. I think they were a little 09:32:22.780 --> 09:32:26.980 bit more of a challenge than we expected, but then yeah after that we were 09:32:26.980 --> 09:32:30.740 super confident, we're really really confident that we're gonna beat VP. 09:32:30.740 --> 09:32:34.460 To both these last two matches, didn't feel like had too much difficulty. I mean there 09:32:34.460 --> 09:32:39.260 were some close moments between both the Webber game and the last VP game. Obviously, 09:32:39.260 --> 09:32:41.260 You guys have to work through some stuff. 09:32:41.260 --> 09:32:45.260 So like, what did you guys sort of learn after losing to Crazy Freeing and coming into these two last games? 09:32:45.260 --> 09:32:47.260 Well, I think we just needed to stop playing Overwatch really. 09:32:47.260 --> 09:32:50.260 The first match we really weren't playing the game. 09:32:50.260 --> 09:32:54.260 And the close moments in Wayborne VP are putting down to us just playing bad. 09:32:54.260 --> 09:32:57.260 I think we had moments where we played really poorly today. 09:32:57.260 --> 09:33:00.260 Hopefully we're going to get some good rest and come back tomorrow stronger. 09:33:00.260 --> 09:33:04.260 I'm kind of curious about your take on how the meta has been developing throughout Champions Clash. 09:33:04.260 --> 09:33:07.260 We've seen the Mizuki game play. What are your thoughts on it? 09:33:07.260 --> 09:33:12.780 I like music. Yeah, I think he's a pretty cool character. I'm glad that he's getting some playtime. I think he's really fun 09:33:22.380 --> 09:33:25.900 Wondering right like is this just like sit on crazy raccoon having fun with it? 09:33:25.900 --> 09:33:31.580 Are they like leading us on is this a bait or is it like for real a composition that can be played? 09:33:31.580 --> 09:33:35.180 I think it's like it's a secret Korean matter that they've been hiding from us in scrims 09:33:37.260 --> 09:33:47.260 What was your prep looking like? Which teams did you scrim in order to get the best possible chances in order to catch up to the meta that has been developing over in Korea? 09:33:47.260 --> 09:33:54.260 We've been scrimming pretty much everyone, apart from American teams. We scrimmed them a couple of times, but we didn't care too much about practicing against them. 09:33:54.260 --> 09:34:01.260 Against the Korean teams, I really think they've hidden a lot of strats from us in the scrims, which maybe took us by surprise today. 09:34:01.260 --> 09:34:05.260 But now we know what they're going to do. We're going to be better prepared coming in next time. 09:34:05.260 --> 09:34:11.900 One last thing, sorry, I had a question just to pick you back up the mid a question because you guys started playing Greg Juno 09:34:11.900 --> 09:34:15.780 Talk me a little bit about that kind of baited VP maybe look is they stuck in the looser character 09:34:15.780 --> 09:34:18.580 But you guys think you know we don't need the looser character at the moment 09:34:19.260 --> 09:34:21.260 That's a secret 09:34:24.940 --> 09:34:27.260 Super valid I have one last question for you 09:34:27.260 --> 09:34:33.620 I think that it's it's for you guys for twisted minds it you guys haven't really had to play like it was in the lower bracket 09:34:33.620 --> 09:34:38.100 make that kind of run. How are you feeling about being with, you know, having 09:34:38.100 --> 09:34:41.440 elimination on the line every single match now? We love playing in high stakes 09:34:41.440 --> 09:34:45.300 environments. We love reverse sweeping. We love anything where we need to try 09:34:45.300 --> 09:34:48.180 really hard when the pressure's on. We know that we're all gonna play well and 09:34:48.180 --> 09:34:51.460 we're gonna be there. So you talked about that and some teams are just in plays a 09:34:51.460 --> 09:34:59.700 few by Spikes, you know. Funny Astro, we're gonna lay your rest up. Sorry for holding you hostage here in the desk, but we wanted to pick your brain. Once again, 09:34:59.700 --> 09:35:06.240 Congratulations to you and the squad. It's been absolutely fantastic seeing all of them in action. Also. Thanks to everyone watching 09:35:06.240 --> 09:35:09.060 It's been an absolute pleasure. Let's quickly take a look at our brackets 09:35:09.060 --> 09:35:17.940 So we know exactly what is coming our way tomorrow on our third and final day of competition here at the champions clash in Tokyo 09:35:17.940 --> 09:35:22.420 Japan that's right. We have our upper bracket the fully Korean beat 09:35:22.700 --> 09:35:24.700 Down not beat that the fully Korean 09:35:25.500 --> 09:35:27.500 I'm lacking words here 09:35:27.500 --> 09:35:33.500 Fully Korean, give me a word. Brawl! Brawl! Let's run with Brawl! 09:35:33.500 --> 09:35:40.500 I don't know how dirty it's gonna be. I mean, these two teams are very familiar with each other, play each other so, so often. 09:35:40.500 --> 09:35:46.500 I wonder if any of them was able to like hold something back, have something extra in their strapped foot. 09:35:46.500 --> 09:35:51.500 I think Crazy Koon haven't struggled enough so far this tournament. So I wonder, you know, first of all, just look at the bracket. 09:35:51.500 --> 09:35:55.500 They haven't even lost a map yet. They are the ones to me that there's somebody hiding something. 09:35:55.500 --> 09:35:58.940 Crazy Raccoon are still the ones potentially hiding something. 09:35:58.940 --> 09:36:04.600 Yeah, especially when we looked at that Zeta matchup up against VP not too long ago. 09:36:04.600 --> 09:36:07.260 We saw VP really pushing them the limit. 09:36:07.260 --> 09:36:12.620 I think that it's going to be quite the brawl in tomorrow's upper final, but I gotta agree 09:36:12.620 --> 09:36:17.380 with Avril on this when it feels like Crazy Raccoon really haven't struggled thus far 09:36:17.380 --> 09:36:19.860 and I'm interested to see if they're gonna get their revenge. 09:36:19.860 --> 09:36:23.700 Well, okay, now that Fanny has struggled, kicked off of the deck. 09:36:23.700 --> 09:36:28.020 How do you feel they will be fairing the lower bracket against either of those two teams? 09:36:28.020 --> 09:36:33.500 I think that when you, he was talking about how he wasn't really ready for what crazy 09:36:33.500 --> 09:36:36.820 raccoons were bringing to the table today, but now they have that experience in the server. 09:36:36.820 --> 09:36:40.260 They got a feel of what crazy raccoons want to be pulling out. 09:36:40.260 --> 09:36:44.340 And I think that this rematch, that, well, that's if they end up playing crazy raccoons. 09:36:44.340 --> 09:36:47.900 We don't know who they're facing off against quite yet, but I do think there is that potential 09:36:47.900 --> 09:36:48.900 for Twisted Minds. 09:36:48.900 --> 09:36:52.580 They're an experienced team to be able to make these adjustments heading into tomorrow. 09:36:52.580 --> 09:36:55.980 I think either way, you know, if they want to be a champion, they will have to go through 09:36:55.980 --> 09:36:56.980 Kizukun. 09:36:56.980 --> 09:36:57.980 Because Fraser-kun lose tomorrow. 09:36:57.980 --> 09:36:58.980 Low break is straight away. 09:36:58.980 --> 09:36:59.980 I'd like to see Fraser-kun in grand finals. 09:36:59.980 --> 09:37:00.980 Tien want to go there. 09:37:00.980 --> 09:37:03.180 So they're going to have to get past that hurdle. 09:37:03.180 --> 09:37:06.660 And currently I do look at this Twisted Mind Squad thinking, okay, they are hiding something 09:37:06.660 --> 09:37:07.660 as well. 09:37:07.660 --> 09:37:10.660 Because I know our good friend, Frenfony Asher, didn't quite answer when I talked to him about 09:37:10.660 --> 09:37:12.540 the, you know, wanted to ask about the Brigg Juno stuff. 09:37:12.540 --> 09:37:16.980 But to me, if I was to sort of break that one down a little bit, Lucia did get nerfed. 09:37:16.980 --> 09:37:19.460 Brigg Juno might actually end up being the secret answer here. 09:37:19.460 --> 09:37:20.980 It might be Twisted Minds. 09:37:20.980 --> 09:37:24.980 They are the ones having that little extra to push through the other teams are not looking at. 09:37:24.980 --> 09:37:29.980 Yeah, I mean there is like, I think Jake talked a little bit about the brick in the mix there as well, right? 09:37:29.980 --> 09:37:31.980 Like that brick obviously not being good against fire. 09:37:31.980 --> 09:37:39.980 So obviously in a meta where we do see the bashing cat like swirling around in the skies might be a bit tricky to pull it off. 09:37:39.980 --> 09:37:42.980 They pulled it off today. It looked good. Will we see more of it? 09:37:42.980 --> 09:37:44.980 Oh, we'll find out tomorrow. 09:37:44.980 --> 09:37:53.280 Yeah, we have some great bangers coming our way tomorrow as well as not one, but two showmatches, Nani, Ash 09:37:53.980 --> 09:37:59.980 I'm so excited to see what tomorrow is gonna bring. A bit of a surprise on deck there for the grand final Sunday 09:38:00.340 --> 09:38:05.260 That's right. Kevin, last thoughts here. What were your big takeaways from day one and two? 09:38:05.300 --> 09:38:09.660 Yeah, I mean, I think at the moment the biggest takeaway has to be the fact there are two Korean teams 09:38:09.660 --> 09:38:12.020 So two Asia teams, crazy Koon Zeta. 09:38:12.020 --> 09:38:13.740 We expect them to do well this tournament 09:38:13.740 --> 09:38:15.540 and they are by far looking like the best teams. 09:38:15.540 --> 09:38:18.900 EME still in the mix, fighting in North America and China. 09:38:18.900 --> 09:38:20.540 Maybe this is just not their meta. 09:38:20.540 --> 09:38:22.860 And obviously the double EMEA game to finish is out 09:38:22.860 --> 09:38:25.340 with you only gonna get one to push on through 09:38:25.340 --> 09:38:26.940 and it's gonna be the defending champion 09:38:26.940 --> 09:38:27.780 of Twisted Mind. 09:38:27.780 --> 09:38:30.220 So top three, this is an exciting final three teams, 09:38:30.220 --> 09:38:31.060 gotta say. 09:38:31.060 --> 09:38:32.180 There it is, Ash. 09:38:32.180 --> 09:38:34.220 What have we learned to share with class? 09:38:34.220 --> 09:38:35.620 Ooh, well, I don't know. 09:38:35.620 --> 09:38:37.460 For me, you guys know I've been China-filled 09:38:37.460 --> 09:38:38.900 like this entire weekend. 09:38:38.900 --> 09:38:41.460 We've learned that China is starting to slowly close that gap. 09:38:41.460 --> 09:38:43.860 I think the improvements have been really nice to see. 09:38:43.860 --> 09:38:46.580 Twisted Minds, they end up getting that top three finish 09:38:46.580 --> 09:38:48.180 that we were kind of expecting for them 09:38:48.180 --> 09:38:51.020 at minimum going into this weekend. 09:38:51.020 --> 09:38:53.940 I think overall though, again, it's the big question of 09:38:53.940 --> 09:38:55.820 are they going to be able to make those adaptations 09:38:55.820 --> 09:38:56.780 that are necessary? 09:38:56.780 --> 09:38:59.340 Those meta questions that Avril is asking there as well. 09:38:59.340 --> 09:39:01.540 Yeah, man, there's just so much good Overwatch 09:39:01.540 --> 09:39:03.940 to have to keep track of, right? 09:39:03.940 --> 09:39:05.740 So many different regions, different meta, 09:39:05.740 --> 09:39:09.700 different players and if you want to make sure to follow all the action 09:39:09.700 --> 09:39:15.460 everywhere scan our QR code right here on your screens and follow us on all 09:39:15.460 --> 09:39:20.620 socials available to you and this is where we'll keep you up to date on 09:39:20.620 --> 09:39:24.500 everything that's going on tomorrow but I'm sure you all be watching because it 09:39:24.500 --> 09:39:30.380 is Grand Finals time we will be crowning our champions clash champion 09:39:30.380 --> 09:39:34.460 that's a weird sentence but that is gonna happen tomorrow with the show 09:39:34.460 --> 09:39:38.140 matches.
