You
I
Hey folks, welcome to day 2 of the Calling All Heroes Championship.
a lot of three overwatch yesterday,
but we're hoping we can give you
some more of banger games today.
My name is our cast here with rain
will be your yappers for today,
at least partial for today intense rain.
How are you feeling about these games
today that we've got?
I am feeling pretty good about these ones.
Are you like you mentioned there are a lot
of three O's yesterday in fact for three
O's yesterday in that upper bracket,
but we're down in the lower bracket
now, so these teams are going to
have to absolutely lock in because
you have to absolutely walk in because of course no more second chances the
losing team will be eliminated from the championships.
Yeah for those of you just joining us the Calling All Heroes is an
Overwatch tournament circuit for women and marginalized genders. The goal is to
continue building an inclusive environment for everyone focusing on
equity, visibility, and community support. Radiant is the women that
gaming production agency that has partnered with Overwatch to produce
Calling All Heroes. Yeah take a look at our bracket we've had a lot going
So far the four matches and those are our upper brackets that you can see timeless X missing extra Bavione
Cafe Fica and team missing x-ray, but we're gonna start off in the lower bracket teams that fell a little bit short yesterday
And those two matches that you're gonna be seeing it for the first part of today like a Virgo versus Valentine and magic mushy versus fable
Yeah, so I'm excited to get to see these teams again now
Of course because of the way that the one-to-eat seating works out in the upper bracket
some of these teams had some very top matches in round number one with like a
Virgo of course going up against that number one seed so now they're going to
have a chance in our first match here to fight against a more middle of the pack
opponent here in Valentine but regardless it is going to be a long road for these
teams to fight through this lower bracket even if they get a win in this
match. Yeah longer stream today I mean four matches of course this
This competition will continue next week and as well, but there are some certain maybe
incentives that viewers can see if they watch both today and next week, Rain, why don't
you tell us a little bit more about that?
Yeah, so of course you got to make sure that your battle net is connected to your Twitch.
So the drops for today are on core of yesterday.
So if you got some progress watching the stream yesterday, maybe you didn't get all
the way to that six hour esports loot box. Now is your chance to get all that watch time in. We
have an icon for you, a spray, and of course that esports loot box as well as a battle tier
skip pass. So you can skip one of those levels in the battle to pass and all you have to do is
watch them calling their heroes. You reminded me as well. Like I'm literally the one that's
supposed to be talking about it and I realized I didn't have my stream open to collect my
my drops so uh...
yeah i got that done make sure my
that which can't was connected the battle that we're all set to go there so of
course those will
grew over time but
so the matches get underway soon enough we've got four teams are going to
highlight
in this lower bracket before of course we get to the upper bracket at the
second
part of this stream but
let's take a look at maybe some of those rosters to start getting a
highlight of what exactly and who exactly you're gonna see in this
first first match up between like a virgo
and valentine
Yeah, so Leica Virgo and Valentine, of course, losing at round number one, both in a 3-0 fashion here, but like I mentioned, it was Leica that came in as that number 8 spot, so they won the tiebreaker match against Nightmare.
So we got to see them on the stream yesterday, but here is a reminder for everyone about the players that we will get to see on the screen today.
HR tree and Pingu on the DPS, Konata on the wrecking ball, Elku and Natnif going to be on the support lines here.
And of course, we got to see a whole lot of wrecking ball from Konata yesterday.
So I'm very much expecting that we are going to get to see a little bit more of that here today as well.
I saw on HR tree social media yesterday, they posted that they follow in the footsteps and it was just tree.
of the Overwatch pro player was playing Sierra,
and HR Tree also was hovering Sierra.
So maybe that's a little highlight
into the games that we're seeing today, you never know.
But as well, just a reminder that those icons you're seeing,
the roles are most likely accurate.
As for the player icons, it's mainly just
who they want to showcase as their player portrait,
having nothing to do with the roles.
No, just that we love to see a little bit of Jetpack Cat
anywhere we can.
Although we did see some deadly Jetpack Cats yesterday,
I wouldn't I wouldn't count her out for being able to show up in the kill feed as well
So on the other side of things
Valentine coming in at our number of fifth spot. I believe into the playoffs and
They are going to be here on your screen as well
H key benevolence on DPS kindred will be the tank HMR and
Bernie's going to be on the supports here and
Valentine a fairly well-known roster. I think if you've been in calling all heroes for a while
This is the team that did play second in the CAH 2025 championships with the
core being H. Keeban, Nebulance, Kindred and Bernice. So a lot of pre-existing
synergy here and I definitely think that this is going to be a very top team for
like a to try and overthrow here in the lower bracket. I always feel bad when we
introduce this team because we always have to say that they placed second.
Like that's the reputation that they have. But if anything is capable of
this event. I feel like they can make a run for the gold and it would be nice to be able
to introduce this team with having that first place accolade underneath the belt. But you
know that's the story we have right now and hopefully that storyline will continue for
them as they flourish throughout the games. But given this is a 5c vs 8c, we are going
to tell you that statistically the favorite is Valentine. We'll let you choose who
you're rooting for and who you think is going to win though for yourselves and
it's not to be a banger for sure.
Yeah, I definitely think an opportunity to maybe not have a 3-0 up in here
Of course it is still going to be a first to three so it's still an opportunity to maybe go to that number five
I do feel like like having coming off that match against the number one team that
Very very dominant performance of course from them
I think that like is gonna be coming in with a you know a little bit of more practice kind of under their belt
and hopefully a little bit more confidence as well coming up now against Valentine.
Great, and for those of us just joining, wasn't like a Virgo, aren't they from
Europe? Can you tell us a little bit about that?
Yeah, yeah, so actually, like a Virgo is one of the only kind of teams here where the core is
from EU org. So they originally were playing for Quick Esports Nova back in 2025,
Cospring Division, so Pingu, Unlucky, Main, and Natniv being some of the core players from
that and Elku actually it was a sub for Team Finland in the Overwatch World Cup so yeah
this is a team where pretty I believe all of them except for HR Tree are hailing from Europe
so HR Tree is the honorary North American of the squad. Yeah I mean it's always good to see
what exactly the team lore is behind this so we can kind of focus in and watch it during the game
but to get into the logistics of the game itself Nepal where we will be starting off and I
And I know for at least the two games we watched yesterday,
they all started on Nepal.
I don't remember the last two, but seems to be a common theme.
We've got going here at PAW and the Sojourn Band off the rip.
Again, targeting maybe somebody's desires.
I'm looking at maybe HR Tree there.
But on the other side, I think we
can see some sort of speed band.
That's just my guess.
Yeah, I'm suspecting that as well.
We've seen the Lucio or the Jetpack
get banned kind of time and time again on map number one, depending on what strategy the teams really want to roll with here.
And we did see a little bit of Lucio Kiriko, when that kind of like Jack-Packat was getting banned out here.
So wouldn't be surprised if he did end up going for the Lucio ban so that you can instead kind of pivot over onto that Jack-Packat.
Let's see what's it going to be.
Yeah, I mean, we know that they very much like to play the wrecking ball yesterday.
So it might have been some of the positives that they were allowed to get and sometimes maybe a bit of a negative considering there was a full back cap that came on while the tank was in the back lines.
But yeah, I think you're going to very well see a clearer iteration of a game plan coming in here.
Like obviously we expect a wrecking ball to be the case until forced off otherwise, but even then there wasn't a force off swap.
So again, it's this pretty up in the air. You don't need to like a protect man because you're second
So it is gonna be the moga just making sure that
That a lot of HP and a lot of bullets don't come flying your way
I think that's gonna be a good play for like on the ball where this is a control that you need to have
You know a kind of a large HP pool on the point that's definitely gonna help
Cap that up and where like is more so going to be pipping towards this wrecking ball kind of warm of dive composition
taking a little bit of pressure kind of off of the point in the form of that
Malaga band should in theory help them but we have seen Valentine be a pretty
flexible team here so I don't doubt that kindred is going to be able to pull
out another tank and still be very effective and of course I just got
word that all maps yesterday we're starting on Nepal all series so we
are five for five in Kawas starting on the ball front fact for you there
There may be that continues throughout the rest of the day, you never know, but there's
a lot of fun stats that we can pull through and that we'll mention throughout the series.
I mean, I was noticing yesterday I'll bring it up today, but Hingu and their opposing
tracer seem to be going down a lot off the rip in almost every single fight, so hopefully
that adjustment is made into this second day.
Hopefully she can find some sort of value that at least works for the team and is
able to follow up off this wrecking ball that we know is most likely going
to be played. Yeah, that's a really good point. We had a really hard time kind of watching
the wrecking ball not be synergized with the rest of Leica when we saw them go up against
in their last match. So hopefully things are a little bit tighter now with kind of the
timing of the engages. And especially like you mentioned, Pengu needs to be ready on
that tracer to kind of follow up on those slams or the roll throughs that come through
for Leica. So we'll have to see a little bit more kind of synergy between Kanata
and Pingu specifically, and I think although you are no longer going up against the number
one team, you definitely cannot count a Valentine out again. This is a team with a whole lot
of pre-existing kind of time playing together and of course a lot of individual talent on
the side of Valentine as well. So I think that Leica, they have a good shot here,
but definitely need to make sure that they are cleaning their act up and that they're
not making little tiny mistakes because Valentine will definitely be able to capitalize
on those. Yeah I mean as well as just mentioning the wrecking ball we also
have to just talk about the tank matchup in its own right kindred most likely
gonna be on the other side for Valentine as that tank line knowing we know a lot
about their Zarya something that she is very popular for and you kind of
expect that maybe to be thrown out in the same kind of regard as wrecking ball
where they just kind of all play their signature characters until forced
off and so if that is the case I think it's it's not exactly a
favorable matchup for either way.
Although I will say those area bubbles do prevent slam damage
and it's easier to kind of see it that way,
but still definitely two different styles of teams
that are going to be going up and clashing against each other.
It's a really good point yet that we did see Kendrick
mostly over on that area.
And when she swapped off, she did tend to swap off
over onto the Malga here.
So just another kind of feather in the cap
for that Malga band, maybe being the right choice here
for the side of Leica.
And I agree that, you know,
match up between the the wrecking ball and the Zarya can be really rough here but it's all about
the causing the chaos if you're on that wrecking ball so as long as Valentine can kind of stay
calm cool and collected make sure that they're not having those cool bones forced out really early
on the fight you want to be able to have a bubble or when it's really needed I think that yeah the
match up can be tough but Valentine may have pretty good faith that they're going to be able
put up a pretty good showing against this team and of course you want to start out with a win
here on map number one you want to try and build some momentum here and we really don't want to
see any more three over punch i mean maybe one if we have to like you know separate some like high
intensity games but i think we're all here for overwatch in the end and of course viewers want
to know if the stream's going longer so they can get their drops so rio's would slightly
quicker than the 3-2. And by the way, we also just saw a little bit of an update to some of our
front sheets in the background, and there are players being added to certain rosters, so that
might mean you might see a substitute in the mix for some of these teams. Just keep your eyes
peeled if somebody is up on the scoreboard that we didn't see earlier. We'll let you know who
they are, what the pronouns are, and what exactly they're going to be playing.
Yeah, I know that originally Alayka had signed up with a few more players than what I had
seed on this roster sheet, especially looking for maybe
Curfly to get some playtime. This is another player that has a lot of experience playing with Elku
specifically. So bringing in this other player maybe on the DPS role to kind of synergize a
little bit more with Elku on that support role could go really, really well because Elku and
Curfly both played together on Young and Beautiful Ca back in summer 2025.
Yep, there you go, perfectly in, and it's, well, I was going to say ironically on the
same character as Pingu was yesterday.
I think the Symmetra Flonk just got out of spawned, and then we will probably see that
Tracer fall things lead to Rome.
But definitely excited to see this new player in the mix, okay, okay, we get the joke
you're going for, just mess around the chaos and while we're talking about them,
Pingured on the JQ surely not going to stay, right?
I don't know, I guess we might get to see if you're not going to play the Zarya up against the Wrecking Ball,
but Kanata is not on the Wrecking Ball.
She is walking out of spawn on that Sigma, and Kerfli is locked in on this Torbdor,
and so Lika is showing us a composition that we have not yet seen from them on this Torbdor.
Well, this is one way to do it, and a very big statement made,
As currently we'll find the first pick of the day and the matches and it's courtesy of a Torbjorn onto a tank
So the fight should be secured for like a Virgo
So I mean they can keep things up get on over to the point and it looks like that will be the case
So they'll recon test set to come in shortly when that tank runs back from spawn, which is now of course a demon instead of a
JQ
Okay, yeah, I love to get to see the demon and this is gonna match up very nicely against cannot over on this sigma
However, still a lot of poke damage that can be done from Leica, so Kendra's gonna have to be really careful about her shield management here
And Leica, they did get the first cap. Are they going to be able to stop the cliff from coming through?
No Valentine, can he get some percentage on the board?
You know, I saw the Sigma and I was like, okay, yeah, Sigma makes sense
And then I realized again who is playing Sigma. It's Kanata. The ball enthusiast is on Sigma now
So there are adaptations. Of course, we got the Torbjorn in the mix
Which is still I'm like curious to see how it finds its value in this sort of match show
But as the bullets start flying away as the space starts to be called to go around towards this right sign
This is canada fucking over towards those front lines demon as well. It's hanging around good damage
But still no illuminations when everyone's forced back and this is a very small and
Closed space that like a Virgo are playing in gonna be tough to really kind of break out of especially as everyone's there
Fallen in by a demon you can see in that lower space
But it looks like everyone just kind of gets out of dodge until that high noon is activated making sure that space is trying to be cleared
And since the flip did come in from Valentine there is going to be an attempt to get that flip back now
But here comes the Kitsune rush courtesy of both sides Bernice will fall down again that trope that
Lucio's are just kind of struggling right now in these matches seems to be holding true
Like a Virgo making a very nice run of things and just watching Adramar kind of fall off the map there a nice little
accessory to the success
This is a good flip back for Leica. Now, they did allow a lot of percentage to go over to Valentine, though,
and we are gonna see Hkey over on the May here,
so it's gonna be even harder for Kanata on this Sigma to try and take this kind of frontline duel against Kindred,
when now you have the May wall to contend with as well. Valentine coming in with this Scree, though,
is gonna be massive. However, Leica, they're set up first, and they have the ult for this one.
Oh, beautiful beat. Just making sure that everyone is affected by it, waiting for the slam to actually drop down, but Nevalence.
Going through a lot right now, but it does not matter given that everyone else has fallen down around them from the opposing side
Like a Virgo just left to one player left and it's essentially a nice big stagger on the tank player
Yeah, that's true. This is gonna be really great for Valentine gonna extend their lead here on sanctum
They have the limit break ready to go from kindred and this is a really good spot to be holding when you have the major work
With as well like up. They're going to have a hard time pushing through this choke point
and they're not really at a composition that's really going to be able to take a lot of angles.
HHR Tree, very aggressive at this angle, even swinging with 1 HP,
but had the Mizuki in the back line, there's the limit break out,
and it's just the entire front line that dissipates before this kind of flank can make do of its work.
Now only just two players left in HHR Tree.
Yes, hanging on for dear life, going to attempt some sort of flip,
but can be taken down by a nice icicle to the face by H-Key.
You're going to be looking at a very big stagger as well.
just so tough to really break through no exact speed even might not even get a
touch here we've seen some C9s in the previous day so is that touch gonna come
through two percent one and nope no speed left no swamps that came in to
touch so Valentine will take our first point that's tough for for like a Virgo
because they want to be able to do some damage from that angle so they send
HR tree over there but once she's over there there's not a whole lot of that
consistent damage on the front line to help deal with Kindred and H key. So we are going to,
I guess, see a little bit of a swap here, Sanctum, of course, a bit more of an enclosed map,
a little bit harder to play that wrecking ball. But we are heading over to Shrine for a sub map
number two here. And Leica are going to all in on this dive composition. We are going to get
to see HR tree over on the Freyjaq here, as well as Carfleet over on that Shion. So I love
I'd love to see the mirror match here of the Shion.
And you're getting to see a little bit of Jetpack Cat,
so Leica and Virgo are very much going back over
onto this kind of dive composition here.
But Kindred, over on this, Junker Queen
is still going to be able to kind of turn it out
some of these squishier players from the side of Leica.
And the wrecking ball is back.
We find ourselves in a situation like this once again.
And I'm going to say that this is the key player
to watch to see how these fights are going to shape up.
Canada gets a lot of value and she's going to be happy with that and the team's going to flourish.
But HR Tree goes down and like Virgo start losing numbers, it's tough for her to bring back.
From the brink that being said though, it's nice shots, just courtesy of everyone on the team.
Everyone's doing their part and the space over towards this right side just completely closed in.
A JMR down and leaving just one player left, maybe a nice big stagger. There you go.
I love to see the timing of these engages from Canada.
It feels like Earthly and HR Tree are a lot more honed in on what Kanata's plan is going
into these fights.
So that's going to award Leica the first percentage here and Kanata almost building up to those
minds as well.
Nice aggressive positioning kind of set up here, but Valentine, good read on how to
avoid some of this poke damage coming in from HR Tree and purpose is just going
to be inside.
Big slam, no real follow up though.
Just making sure everyone can kind of burn down those cooldowns because if you don't
have something like a Suzu left. You can't save yourself in AGMR, just taking too much
damage, too much pressure. At the same time, nice headshots out if I cannot up a benevolence.
Making quick work of the rest of the team, that's three eliminations on this fight for
them. This could very well be that flip. That Valentine, we're looking for, Kunai does
strike towards H-key, but it shouldn't matter in the end. It is going to be at
least some prolonged percentage for like a Virgo, and maybe enough to actually pull
out for the rest of the team to come back, but waiting for Valentine to close this
fight out and it's not happening just quite yet. There are some players back from the spot
LQ saying hi and then it says bye too and benevolence again three four eliminations one player that
is popping off that you have to keep an eye on. Oh they have been so deadly on this sheen so far
Eddie yeah kind of deadlifting Valentine back in to grab some percentage finally here on Shrine now
each key does have the pulse bomb ready to go and Kendred lurking here trying to go for a
Pinch the pulse bomb comes out and it's a bit of a trade.
Well those good old fashioned trades, mine's not out though.
We're waiting to see that sort of teamfight happen, but it's actually very split.
You see the JQ isolated in the other side, get Pinch ready, we'll fall down,
and I almost am kind of eyeing the swap although that ultimate is online,
so maybe not gonna happen just quite yet, but again these big staggers have been killing
Valentine like a Virgo, very in control of this point right now.
Now, in control of the point and the space here, I love this aggressive positioning from Kanata now,
also available for both of these teams, but the Onus is really going to be on to Valentine to commit
Alt into this because at 98%, Leica is looking to tie us up here on set.
Like the vision, Suzu maybe comes out a little bit early to cancel out the Polar,
but it doesn't matter the beats there and the spree as well, benevolence is just insane.
You cannot doubt them and their capabilities, LQ at least finding the one DPS Jetpack can't after all.
However, the point does get flipped on over, the ball taken down, and the fight done dusted over Valentine.
Hang on in this map.
Oh, I really would have loved to see like a hold on to some of their ultimates there.
They really have the advantage coming into that.
They get up to 99% here, but they only have the scree from Curfly to try and work with you.
And Valentine managed to hold on to that rampage from Kindred.
So you're gonna be looking at a big purple coming through so Leica and I have to play very split here
And hopefully we'll be able to get us easy win from that nifter whoever gets caught
There's a rampage out like you mentioned Kerf Lee should be going down here. Yeah, that's a big old axe in your face
That's not gonna be good for the HP bar and because of that big source of damage down now
However, H key as well falling those numbers a little bit even you can I that spree and say maybe it could be invested
But it doesn't feel like like a Virgo really had that sense of urgency
I think they want to wait for the full team just to get back so that this engage can come through with the wrecking ball
Form up the minds if that's this point for good and all shield pops wait and to see somebody get booked into those back lines
There we go. We call forced on out, but what's going on over here?
It's a screen that's the bike her flee and it doesn't exactly find them are however the point has been flipped
Touch please. Okay, there we go. Kindred does find it, unfortunately loses her life for it, though.
And this is not easy for Leica Virgo to really close out, but Valentine doing all they can.
Is it enough? No, it is not.
So, free overwatch, still potentially on disable, but this map at least not going to be a clean sweep.
All right, we love to see it. I mean, I think we need to expect that from Leica Virgo as well.
Once they get onto a sub map where they're going to be able to play this Wrecking Ball,
It's very clear that they are very well practiced on it and looking even better today than what they did yesterday on this cop
Now as we head over onto village, definitely still the opportunity to run the wrecking ball
But it is going to be a little bit harder with the point being in a much more enclosed space
Especially if Kendra does stick over on this demon here because you're gonna be able to force the point a lot more
With that stalwart tank compared to this wrecking ball
Also, we will get TP out from both of these teams.
Question becomes, does HP go back over onto the main?
No, it is going to stick on the tracer here.
So, a lot of mobility in the DPS line for Valentine,
which is going to be able to take some of these one-on-ones
that Light Up Virgo's really looking for
with their composition.
I'm just looking at them as well for Kindra to get that
heavy ballistic perk, right?
The insane damage capable from the demon character,
but it's not going to happen just quite yet.
Maybe that is the key factor to their success, Valentine's,
that might be what they're waiting for.
We'll see, though, as that time starts to dwindle down,
obviously, as we are in that final sub-map.
And Bernice, again, continuing this trope of Lucio
struggling, that being said, though,
the beat have been really, really good from them.
And so you kind of just have to wait
and see how it plays out in this entire map,
like Virgo at least finding the first flip of the points.
And Valentine, again, kind of just hesitant
in these first fights.
Hello, crispy aim, by the way. This is like TDM that feels like we're watching and not really seeing those full team fights until like
Three players go down total. I mean canada spin it from the sky with a thousand plus HP
It was down in the end. Yes, there we go. And the flip does come through from Valentine
All right, 21% here for like a but you remember a good point
It does really just look like all these 1v1s kind of happening on the sidelines here
which in theory should favor like a Virgo, but Valentine has a really highly mobile backline.
So Bernice and AJMR are going to be able to avoid this one all together.
See, mine's invested. I don't think they exactly landed where they wanted to, but maybe not.
They're a little bit up on the high ground, a little bit down on the low ground.
So they do do the job that was intended in the end.
Earthly very low has to pop the recall forcing out some kunis from their opponents and AGMR
just be with the head shunt but the fight potentially lost is only one player left
Contesting no spree to work with so there will be no hero moments and it will be the flip from like a Virgo
Yeah, and Valentine
I mean it's gonna be a pretty strong push for them back into this point now that they have this
Conjuring rush ready to go but Evelyn's is building up to the spree as well. It's a fantastic combo
We've seen them do it time and time again
And especially where if you want to just force the point with a screen with a kindred over on this demon
It's getting hard for like a murder to really contest that. Oh
Hello just rolled over
POV you've just been
Absolutely given a drive by by a wrecking ball and here we go
It's been to win part two happening and there comes the slam along with that limit break
It's gonna find the vulnerable. I think under the wrecking ball forcing player off the points
However, point then flipped over to Valentine and yes one player two players down from like a Virgo
That means we've got ourselves a little recent. All right. Yeah, they are gonna regroup
They don't have a whole lot to work with just yet, but a little bit of a slower fight
They're gonna have a Katsune rush of their own to work with and since a GMR did commit that Katsune rush in for the fight
You're not gonna be able to match it if you're Valentine
However, you do still have that spring which could be a really nice counter to a nice straight path of life
Here's the Kitsune, a rush out as well, could be disastrous if this fight is not one, if
this is not found an advantage off of then it doesn't appear to be the case.
Very low on the point is the demon here, I need care folks, I don't want to get demon
acts here, but it looks like everything's good to go, Valentine will hold on, keep
control of the point and at least have an ult to work with.
I thought for a moment there Natnip had the rush cancelled, but look, HD gone,
This is great for Leica, they need to flip this.
And that was courtesy of their own pulse bomb as well.
That's gonna be tough for C,
especially in that elimination fee,
but like the Virgo, hang on for dear life
and to make sure that this point is theirs.
The team fight is theirs.
And like Virgo will give a nice little statement
saying, hey, don't count us up just yet.
Yeah, 91% is good for Valentine.
They need one fight win here,
but a lot was committed into that fight.
So Leica have an opportunity now
to have this positional advantage.
try and build up some of these ults of their own because it's going to be a scrappy first fight.
You need to be thinking about that overtime fight that's going to be coming up very soon for both these teams.
Nada, here we go. What have we got in store?
Looks like just hanging around trying to maybe force this point fight onto the one player, trying to contest it out.
Be very careful, Tracer. That's not where you call now. Yes, you do have the little bit of over health,
but now 1 HP in the corner taken down by HT, or taken down HT by Kerfley, that is.
Again, the flip does come through in the point.
Actually, a bit of a snag if you have to ask me,
but that limit break could be a piece that wins out this fight.
It does find the cat. The cat falls down in the end, though.
Who's gonna win out the fight?
Especially as both tanks are back in the mix,
trying to fight this one out.
And there's that heavy artillery perk that we were talking about.
Doing a lot of damage to take down this wrecking ball.
Freya removed from the picture as well.
HR tree, back to the spawn.
Catnap, I think, used and not found exactly the CC that they were looking for,
especially as that slice of dice comes through onto the Kierakko.
You're hoping for the best Bernice, A.J. Marpe,
Penelvelins all having to stay on this fight,
and Valentine will take map number one.
Really good stuff from Valentine.
Leica hitting back definitely looked a lot cleaner
than what we saw yesterday,
but I really do think this composition
from the side of Valentine
just kind of winning out, especially over on Village.
If you're able to just get a cap onto the point,
it's so much easier to hold onto it with that demon.
But yeah some really fantastic plays here from like a HR tree warming up here. She's finding the hits
But overall just not quite able to find the percentage on the point
So it was a closed one like a and how to try and hit back in that from just you
Yeah, it occurs to be game there and the play of the game as well
And I think that's something that we don't get to see a whole lot in those kind of
Lists of a fight when everything is just kind of flying around
round but that being said right those are the moments that we're kind of
looking for to see a lot more because those could be what you see to turn the
fight and given the style of this Leica Bergo side right Valentine they were to
take notes from the stream that we saw yesterday kind of just playing a death
ball format there's not too much that this wrecking ball is able to do
obviously yes you can roll through yes you get the value there but that's when
you throw in your CC that's when you focus the damage on the wrecking
ball and so again this is the hypothetical my two cents on the
situation, right? If they were to kind of go for that death ball and use some CC on it,
probably be a little better off in securing those fights a lot cleaner. However, they do it in the
end. So I cannot fault them too much. Valentine up a map. Yeah, and I will say I do think that
Leica are looking a lot better informed of the timing on their engages with Kanata on this
wrecking ball. She's doing a much better job kind of baiting out some of the cooldowns
before going in for a harder hit. There are multiple times that she just kind of did a
roll through, put some pressure onto the Kiriko, force out a Suzu, and then went
for kind of another more hard hit, really looking to kind of find the
elimination here. So I definitely do not count out like a just yet, especially
map number two. They are gonna be in control of the map pick here, and of
course when you're going to be playing a very specific composition, being able to
select the map that you go over onto is so so important. It is going to be
I have my suspicions. It could be
and why do you say that wrecking
ball? Yeah, yeah, um, especially
where you just played up against
demon from the site in Valentine.
You do not want to take us over to
New York City or even Atlas, although
we haven't we haven't seen any
Atlas just yet, but definitely
both of those flashpoints are
just not going to be very
beneficial for the wrecking ball.
So I'm sensing a demon band in the case because not only do you take out that piece, but then
you find that a protectant hole would you look at it?
Yeah, good call here.
Yeah, and exactly it's going to take the demon away.
It's also going to make it harder for the wrecking ball to be able to kind of go around
the point and a little bit less pressure.
So an on a band in response here now, the last time that we saw an on a band,
i have my guess is that that we're going to see a jetpack app but then we
didn't hear so
uh... potentially just out trying to ban out the anti-navigates when we saw
kindred not over on the sariah
we saw her playing either the devon or some melga so of course that is going
to be an option here for serah masa
so what you're saying is we're seeing maga here
i i i have a good feeling
about the melga
all right uh... i'll take your word for it that does seem to be
what is going to add up. But then again, you never know, Kindred likes that Zarya.
So we'll see what the team's cooking up. I forget which team it was yesterday that
said, they hadn't exactly shown all of their strats yet. I don't think it was one of
these teams, but the point still stands that teams may still have some things in
the tank that we just do not see yet. And I didn't mean specifically the tank
role, but I guess that applies in this case.
It's definitely possible. And I mean, this is it. You are, you're in the
lower bracket right now. So if you have anything up your sleeve, now's
time to do it. We did already see a pretty significant comp change on sub map number one of
Nepal from the side of Lyca. So we know that they can play other compositions here, but they're
going to have to really lock it in here back on against the wall just yet, but you do not want
to go down to O in this series. That would be an insane amount of stress to try and reverse
sleep in a lower bracket. And you were talking about going from control to flashpoint at the
beginning of a series. Do you want to kind of talk about how this may either
favor Lyca Virgo or how it might hinder them?
I do think that this time I like this play from Lyca. If you get absolutely demolished on the
control map I feel like moving right into the flashpoint map can sometimes not really be the
play where they're going to play very very similarly and you're giving kind of this this
momentum over to the team that maybe just kind of stomped you. But we got a pretty good
map out of Nepal Leica. Definitely had some shining moments here especially they really kind of
rocked in on the bands here for Suravasa. So I think that they are going to be able to kind of
use the warm-up that was Nepal to kind of swing into Flashpoint Suravasa maybe a little bit better
here. So we're gonna get a peek at some of the comps that we could potentially see here.
I do not expect to see Kindred on the Domina as fun as I think it would be. I do not
I think that she would have a very good time in these pretty wide open maps, but
for Leica Virgo, yes I very much expect we are going to get to see this
composition. The TP out probably gonna see Kyrfle move over onto the Shion or
onto the Tracer, both pretty viable here on the big open map of Suravasa and
yeah Valentine are gonna put Kindred over on to that Malca. They're gonna
have a HP over on the Tracer, so a pretty similar composition here, same for
course the tank wall. I feel like between the tracer and the Shion maybe it's a
little bit of a map specific thing for these teams but I feel like the Shion's
been getting a lot more value I mean maybe it's just off the brink of the
ultimate which is absolutely phenomenal by the way but like there are so many
different ways that you can attack in the Shion as well tracer applying that
pressure but I feel like that pick potential may be a little bit more
there for Shion we'll see how things shape up though it looks like
Valentine it has at least meandered over to the point I think that's
So where we're going with here and it currently does find the one hr
She's down though. So one for one free when it comes to DPS lines or out who they will fall not exactly going to be ideal
Especially as the sports remove the tank as well
And so the numbers completely dwindling for like the burgo will be Valentine to take our first fight
Now once canada gets the steamroll perk
She is going to be able to do a lot more damage to kindred on this now
But but until she has that online like a really really don't want to try and target out the mouth
He has an insane amount of HP and you don't really have any form of burst damage on the side of Leica.
Safe for HR tree, kind of building the railguns off of Kindred here.
So you need to see a little bit more of the target priority over onto benevolence or even onto HMR on the Curicah.
Just be very careful there. Lecal already forced out, so you thought maybe there's a bit of a scare.
But no, instead big slam from Kindred, benevolence will pick up on the railgun shots
and in the end should be no match for like a Virgo here because of the fact
well they don't exactly have the numbers. HQ with that pulse bomb your eyeing it up
I think we all are maybe wanting to stick it to the ball if the inconspicuously
placed nearby but no instead it's opted for the Kira Co no cleanse
available so there you go a quick fight win should be in store maybe a
contest from the wrecking ball but no instead things done and dust at first
point very cleanly in favor of Valentine. Yeah Leica just had such a
hard time kind of finding the fights off of the point so they always kind of gravitated back towards
the point and then you're met with Malga on the point just holding the ground here so we are going
to move over onto gardens for point number two now like I do have the minefield ready to go this
is a really great point to use the minefield as well it's a pretty small flash point compared
to some of the other spots on Saramase here but you still have to get in towards the point
just to get those mines right down. We all saw it I thought it was going to come through instead
That it's Kanata actually finding the value though for like a Virgo.
The mines as well, just absolutely popping off.
Making sure that these, I guess you could call them entry eliminations into these fights.
Looking pretty darn good.
However, Kindred with the cage fights and the aim clean as ever.
Old big slam coming in.
Don't forget the pulse bomb launched to the wayside.
Maybe wanting that one back.
But in the end, still Valentine hanging out for dear life in this fight.
Oh, please don't roll off the map, thank you.
Okay, boop, does come through.
I think the tanks here are just kind of hanging on before.
Yeah, Konata going to go for the reset after the rest of their teammates falling down.
All right, to Leica have another chance to regroup here.
And they have some ultimates to try and work with to find their way in here.
But Valentine have been doing a good job countering out this wrecking ball play.
Of course, you need to kind of catch the rest of Leica Virgo while they're
in the rotation, trying to find their way towards wherever
Konata is going to go for the hit here.
So Leica might actually have to commit one of these ultimates
kind of early on to make sure that they don't end up getting picked while they're making these long rotations.
Overclocked to be thrown on in. It's actually benevolence though that finds the first pick courtesy of a rail gun onto the Kirito as well.
So Kitsune and Rush no longer available on this. Kindred though does fall courtesy of Catnap.
So interesting ultimates here that are finding maybe players you're not exactly expecting them to find.
But instead, hey, values value. You can't fault it at that like a Virgo salvaging the number situation.
looking for that cap as well, but it's not gonna happen courtesy of said cat.
But it will then eventually flip in the end. Both supports here, Moga back as well.
You should have, honestly, a quick recon test if you want to go for it, but just being stalled out,
being distracted by this wrecking ball player kind of making sense.
There's Katsune Rashi expecting that one to come out as well.
Slam not gonna find anything though, the wrecking ball again causing havoc,
waiting for these eliminations to come through, but it just will not happen.
Only the one from like Virgo, not enough to win the fight just yet.
Those mines might be a big slam though, it's gonna take out a lot of them, and in the end, this should be okay for Lycaburgo, but these people are not exactly looking the greatest, Maga very low, and Tindred will fall like a Virgo.
Still have not found said flip, Valentine up to 99, but eventually that fight is one in their favor.
And Valentine just, they just so much restraint when it comes to these alternates. They're gonna be walking into this next fight way more alternates than Lyca, and they only need to win one fight at that 99% here.
Like, are going to need Curfly to really find a clutch pulse bomb.
Maybe one of the supports here because if you just let Valentine get towards the point,
you are going to be flooded with ultimates.
Overclock. Those come through, benevolence.
Just kind of use it maybe as zoning purposes, trying to deny any sort of touch.
Oh, the poop goes away, but still comes in for the touch.
Unfortunately, though, Kanata with the touch on the mind cannot really go for value,
and instead it just goes down in a disappointing fashion,
as would be expected in this particular fight.
The cat going for touches as well.
Elku nice try, but this point is Valentine's.
And the problem that Leica is having here
is that when they're in control of the point,
they're letting Valentine walk on to the point
and get the flip more or less for free.
Now, there's not a whole lot that Leica can do
to try and set themselves up on the point,
but they need to use this mobility from Elku on the cat,
from Kanata, from Curfley,
to make sure that they're stalling out the point
as long as they can and not allowing Valentine to just get the flip over as Valentine are
going to get themselves set up on Palace first year and of course they still have lots of
ultimates to work with to get this point backed up first.
Saw the vision, Kindred, you wanted to go through, try and slam the ball, keep them
in place as the first roll from did happen but I guess to Kanata's value, right, you
do force out.
Ooh, that's a boltz bomb, nice, uh, nice dip if you want to call up there, like
the Virgo happy.
With that result, but where is the rest of the team?
Where is that contest of the points?
It's, well, an evidence denying every sort of strike
that may come through.
Bernice may lay down to the ground, not ideal for Valentine.
Leica Virgo finally claps on this point.
Because of that rail gun, the overclock from HR Tree
finding three eliminations, making a very good fight.
Green fights, but still the stall
allowing for Valentine to get at least some percentage.
All right, it's it's good percentage for Valentine 39%,
especially where they are going to have that kind of closer
spawn here to work with on Palace.
So they're going to get a quick regroup.
They have the pulse bomb,
but they actually have the opportunity to just play
Sloane here, build up to the Katsune Rush from AJMR.
Maybe even get this Katsune Rush out from that
in at first regroup and just going for kind of the next
hit.
And come through, but there's a Katsune.
That's the ult that we've been waiting for in this fight
for the Engage, Elku as well, the Catnip available,
but it's her fee that falls down.
So that off angle pressure is not going to be here
for the continuation of this fight.
I mean, like a Virgo might just kind of cut that awesome,
but no, instead, two players go down in the back line.
Yes, the mines invested finds an elimination,
but there's gonna be no follow up.
There is no way that you can win out this fight.
And so Valentine escaped with sort of highway robbery.
Yeah, that's a really good fight
when you're for Valentine.
I mean, it's an aggressive, uh,
Katsune Rush from that niff,
and Valentine just walked past it
so that Leica can't even use the benefit
of that Katsune Rush.
And Valentine, of course,
still having ultimates to work with here,
and approaching 90%,
it's not looking good for Leica.
Hulse Bomb launched away, sent to Narnia,
but here, instead, the overclock as well,
just not gonna find the value
that Valentine is hoping for.
It was maybe to deny that initial,
the initial fight on in Hulse Bomb,
again going awry and so Tracer just out of luck here wrecking ball does make itself back on up
Unfortunately, though, gonna be taken out of the fight for maybe way too long to the point where Valentine feel clean enough to win
This fight only a series of touches left like a Virgo doing all that they can catnap in the mix open to drag someone around
But the cage fight does tack on to the cat and in the end
and three zero. It will be Valentine taken map number two.
It's just so tough for Leica to run the wrecking ball composition
when Kindred is just such a flexible tank and the rest of the Valentine squad
playing around her so, so well here going in for the engages on the stomps.
I mean, we saw so many master sounds come through from Kindred.
Everybody was always there ready to follow up on that damage.
So you can see just how impressive this Moga has been and why it got banned out on map number one.
That's a crazy interaction to me. I just realized that Moga can just slam and break mines and it's one ability for one ultimate.
Like, okay, yep, we're playing around your comp. Yeah, we're just going to use one ability and call it a day.
But yeah, I mean that fight that you saw in the play of the game is pretty critical to the fight that we saw.
second to last that again, it's kind of highlighting Kanata that is going for the value, but there's no real follow up. And so there we've said definitely seen those improvements compared to day one, but just in day two, it's hit or miss. And it's not enough to still get over the line.
not quite and now I like us gonna be at that kind of impossible task of trying
to reverse sweep in the lower bracket against a team that you have already
had two pretty impactful hero bands already used out because of course they
can't repeat the Moka band they can't repeat the demon band so although Leica
is gonna be in control of the map selection they're really kind of
running out of options of bands to go with that are going to be impactful
against this Valentine team. I think it might be up to the picture poison
DPS kind of a band where it's it's not like you're gonna neutralize the threat
But it's maybe just choosing the one that you're gonna have to deal with right maybe she on versus tracer versus soldier
And versus spray. I mean there's four DPS that I feel like we just see constantly and
Multiple of them could be played on a lot of different maps
So that's why the DPS fans almost kind of feel like well
You're just challenging the hero pool of a particular player in that moment
That's why I'm gonna suggest some sort of support band if you're struggling
Maybe you can find some way to remove the back line and veaking it out so that maybe you're a little bit better
In getting the value of your say a tank line rolling through
That's a good point. Yeah, I mean I thought and that's the thing that the support line that Valentine has mostly been playing
And we did see Bernice over on the Lucio a little bit
But pivoting over on to the jetpack cat in the Kirikou
Those are two supports that are really not gonna be that bothered by the wrecking ball, right?
You have the the TP the cleanse for the Susie the jetpack cat is just in the sky
So you're not you're probably not going to get caught up in the CC of that slam
So yeah, maybe going for a support band onto one of those more mobile support heroes that you have a better
Target for your engages because right now it feels like Valentine or just they're playing around this wrecking ball composition
Just so well the problem is is that like is also running in the back line of that kind of jetpack hat
Kira Ko so it's also going to mean kind of forcing your supports onto something
that maybe isn't what they've necessarily been planning for. I think you take the
JPC Ben, I think you do it because again that's the one carrier that and at
least in a support line just completely in no way like affected by that
wrecking ball. Obviously the Kira Ko you can say okay well still has to be
careful of positioning but JPC is just like hey I'm just gonna heal up
whoever you roll through and I don't care what happens after that. Yeah
And of course, the cat naps coming through as well can be so detrimental to the tanks.
I mean, we did see Kendrick, or not Kendrick, we did see Kanata find her way out of the last
cat nap that we saw there on Suravasa, but you still just have to know that you're going to
be the target of that. Okay, we know the mode at least. So heading over to escort,
shaking things up a little bit here, going to Route 66, which I mean, you and I have not
see on the broadcast just yet because everybody we're leaning towards those push maps. Yeah, I mean
I'm excited to see some sort of escort map but I do just worry how the ball is going to fair. I think
this one could be okay given the verticality right you can kind of just jump off and jump through
without having to use that sort of anchor to lift yourself up to those higher pieces of leverage
but there's again a lot of walls at least when considering that first point granted we did
did see his fun hold I think yesterday or at least attempted to go through so we could
very well see you know very heavy CC you know Sigma choice or of course we could just see
continuation of the Moga.
I would actually really love to see Kanata come out on the Sigma.
I know that she's very good at the Recky Bobble.
We did see slight glimmer of Sigma on Nepal here and could even bring out the Torbjorn
as well.
So I think that Route 66, if you want to lean into maybe more of that kind of poke composition
we saw in Nepal, could be a good play here.
And while you were right, Ari, it is going to be a support band here, but instead going
to go for that Kyoko, so trying to take some of that invulnerability aspect out of the
mix, and a whole lot of damage as well, because these Kyokos have been hitting those
kunai.
Interesting.
I mean, the Wrecking Ball Band has come through, so there is a sense of, okay, maybe
are taking away your comfortability on this map, but it also could be we're
forcing you from something that you're currently losing on to something that
you don't know the result of and so this may ironically force Leica Virgo into a
more favorable position whether they know it or not right obviously it's
just those tank matchups for it's kind of rock-paper-scissors a whole lot of
the time but if you can find some different engagements have some more
support for your DPS when it comes to that front line it very well be in a
favorable place. And on Route 66, I feel like we've seen a whole bunch of different tank lines that we don't really know what to expect.
I feel like this could be like a big play here from Leica. Selecting Route 66, which is not a very strong map for the wrecking ball, maybe coming into this, planning to not play the wrecking ball anyways, and you get Valentine to use the wrecking ball ban here, which means they're not going to be able to ban this hero for maps 4 or 5 if we find our way there.
way there. So if Leica are able to win out here on route 66, they are going to be putting themselves
at a pretty good position, at least for map number four. Kind of an all in bend. I guess if you think
about it in the way you've kind of phrased it up, it's either you win here or you get potentially
snowballed because I mean, I guess, yes, you have the map choice, but there's a lot of agents
that can cause you harm in the future. If you do not win this one, so be very, very careful.
We'll see how things start to roll on up. Well, I guess I shouldn't say roll on up any more courtesy of the big circle band
They float on up if you get the Sigma perk early on
But we will have to see yeah, um also very interested of course on what Valentine are going to end up playing here
The Sigma we haven't necessarily seen Kindred play any of the Sigma here
And I do think the Junker Queen is gonna be pretty tough here
Demon could be playable if you want to just kind of try and force the cart, but I think that valentine could pull out one of their kind of
original compositions of that Zarya and Vendetta comp here where you're gonna have that
Bubble to give over on to the Vendetta the Zarya can get that minor perk that's gonna give you kind of the a little bit more
Verticality in your movements here and each he did look fantastic on that Vendetta
So definitely some different comps in the back pocket here for the side of Valentine to work with but
They are gonna be on the defense first. You're not gonna be seeing this are yet
We are gonna get to see this demon again and with the Turiko out of the mix
Valentine and do want to run a JMR over on that on us so you can potentially get some and you need it
Both sides running Deanna and as well for like a Virgo by the way
You see in the Widowmaker on Curfly and this is actually their player icon for the graphic.
So that doesn't mean anything, statistically.
But this could highlight the fact that maybe they are a Widow player.
We might get to see more than one shot.
Okay now.
Can we watch them walk into the spot?
Alright, well wishful thinking.
Sue me, I guess.
This is how they get their one shot out and now Laika is going to be aware of the composition that Valentine is playing,
Kindred over on this D-mon. Kanata on the D-mon is not going to want to take a head-on fight against this D-mon.
You need to try and find the back line of Bernice and AJMR for these types of coverage.
I feel like with the addition of D-mon we really have seen it a fine in D-va gameplay,
but maybe that's just because everyone's trying out the new character. You never know.
Instead, Kindred will find herself D-mech. It's not ideal, but Hr3 is well finding
herself back in the spawn room so numbers essentially even not enough if you
want to think about the remake coming through not gonna happen just quite yet
and AJ and Mara will just be holding this back by strong.
Yeah, and the thing with Demon is that it can take so long to get back in your
mech and of course the baby Demon is going to be a pretty easy target here
for like a hover elcoo falling it's gonna put Matt in a difficult situation
where now the Ana doesn't really have a get out of jail freak on in that
I was playing Roadhog in the other day and I had to remember that the demon
remak timing and invulnerability is a little bit different so everyone's
maybe a little bit more tuned to Eva and dealing damage out there but with the
demon remak it's a little bit different so you know it's no hook timing that
you have memorized but hello there's just a beautiful fall spawn that goes
completely into the defense matrix. Kanata showing the skills on not just
the wrecking ball but the diva as well. I end up potentially the nano but
No, not even needed. It's HR Tree, Kanana as well, making their mark on history, and this should be all set to kind of force a backup, a backpedal for Valentine.
It's a great AT-88 onto AJMR, however, is going to be able to slip out alive here in the middle, has to go over onto Kindred just to keep her alive and in the back.
I feel like that was a bit early though, like I wanted to see the full fight come through.
I mean if you have to do it for the recon test, like sure, but you're not at that point yet.
You've still got a few more moments and so there's no follow-up on the nanotes.
That just used to sustain and like Virgo, although they do use their own nano,
it's gonna be a lot tougher to break through this Valentine defense.
Now is the tanks are back, the team as well. Big pulse and AJMR is gone.
This time it will not be into a defense matrix.
H key and I have a chance to get that one back, but they're counter part at least cooking while the rest of their team falls
Yeah, Valentine send themselves back up on this gas station here
They have three alts ready to go and I just the poke game in trumpet and Evelyn's alone on this fray
I is going to be very tough for Leica to walk into especially where they just have the catnap online
You can go for the catnap potentially over on to AJMR on the honor or over onto kindred
But there's only one place to kind of drop someone off the map here and it's a long ways away from that
We all know and that's gonna be launched onto a tracer you tried to go for the flying back line
Unfortunately, not gonna happen not exactly easy to hit in midair and cap moment LQ will just fry the player
That's maybe a little bit too aggressive and push on up Bernice
Struggling to maybe get that full footing in this match, but it's okay
the team hopefully can make up for it, especially with the sheer number of alts that are available.
Full launch through, limit break as well, but no immediate value, no eliminations just quite yet.
I think there was a sleep as well that lands on in that tiny alley,
you're hoping for maybe some sort of anti-bittin'-no. Instead, no eliminations just quite yet,
until, curfly, meets the wrong end of a javelin, and with Piedmont player and character just
fully in full speed, this should be very clean. DM waiting it out, now gonna use a
a pulse bomb. There we go. This time it does not fall into the absolute abyss instead of
that we'll do enough damage to take down the diva and actually maybe find this first point
full hold if they can. H key, the full elimination, and yeah, no touch in the store. So Valentine
very poised to have the 3-0 teed up. Yeah, this is going to be very, very tough here
for Leica. I like that they're showing us the diva here. Unfortunately, it still
felt very disjointed in a lot of these engages. A lot of kind of 1v1s happening all over the
place and I mean you can just look at Valentine. Kindred didn't have a single death here despite
she did get DMACC'd a handful of times. It's quite impressive for a demon to be able
to get her Mac back multiple times without dying here. So that's probably a shout out
to AGMR and Bernice the support lines here for Valentine making sure that Kindred never
had to walk back to spawn. I mean look at the Bernice stat line though. 2000 damage
I mean, I mean, that's who young for you, but like at the same time, it might just be part of the Valentine game plan. Hey, let's just do a whole ton of damage that they can't exactly outheal, then we'll just focus fire all of our damage into one person.
Yeah. Yeah. And unfortunately, I like I just had a really hard time getting on that kind of set up on this on the removal times where we are seeing they're kind of like set up on the high ground, but they're within that kind of like javelin spear range of kindred on the demon.
Demon so a pretty decisive target for Valentine to look for and once your honor is out of the fight
It's very very hard for the diva to stay in that max
So we will see like a same kind of look here as they're going to be on the defense
Elkoone a little bit of scouting here
But they will soon find that Valentine running a very similar
Composition to what they had on the defense however this time Bernice is gonna be over on that jet pack cat
So still a lots of opportunity for damage to be put there.
No little maker off the rip, I'm sad. What does life come to anymore?
But yeah, we've got ourselves the first fight underway around the bend.
No spawn hold, trying to be attempted because I guess that would technically put you in final fight territory.
If you think about how far the cart would need to be pushed up after that.
But we'll see exactly how this front line holds Kanata though running out of DM's slept,
Anti'd and still alive barely hanging on by the skin of their teeth a JMR though down
And so that back line that you're kind of hoping for it
I kind of held this team forward has to now hit the reset button
Great. It's a good fight win here for a like up, but they're gonna have to chain together
Oh want more fight wins if they want to keep themselves alive in this series
HHR tree is building up to Marbola very very quickly here leading over benevolence a little bitch
and you're gonna have to worry about that defense major to eat it up, but Kindred, all big shields, could deny the value from that shot.
I'm already eyeing HG farming up this pole spawn.
We know one ult could really make the difference here, but HR tree as well, very close to that Bola Kerfli.
Finding a beautiful pick here onto the nebulin, so preventing any sort of Bola farmage of Valentine's side.
And of course Kerfli now may be eyeing a pole spawn, but Kindred is taking down the front line tank.
Oh, this might be a little bit of dire straits
You're gonna have to hope for the quick reset from the tank to roll on through except you can't go with the ball
Remember, so it has to be the diva here that comes back and hoping for the best
Cart pushing for sure here, but still waiting for that hard engage
It's curfewly and the back line with the pulse bomb that should be the go button
I'm waiting for it. I'm waiting to see the follow-up
But it's not quite there just yet and it's kind of scaring me a little bit
Also scaring me is H.K.L. lurking down here in the gas station, has this pulse bomb ready to go, and I don't think that anybody from Leica knows that she's down here, she's just inviting her to... She's definitely gotta be looking for her, but Curfly is playing fairly close here.
Half damage on Tracer, taking the Jager though, preventing any sort of rehash of that HP,
but the Nebulance finds one with the Bull out of the top of the backline.
Again, Curfly sleep dart, beautiful.
The gift that keeps on giving is AJMR, the Nano as well.
This should be job done for Valentine if they can just hold on the boop onto the
D.Va bomb, very nicely done, especially given the catnap that was in or the lifeline
that was given, but it does not matter in the end. Valentine 3-0 sweep and they are your victors once again.
It's a good showing here for Valentine Leica. They had some good moments showing a little bit more
flexibility in their composition, but it's so tough when you are a team that is really known for
playing one composition to play into a teams that are as talented as these top eight teams
in calling all heroes champion.
So unfortunately that will be the end here for Leica
in their run, but Valentine, a fantastic showing,
are gonna be able to move on through this lower bracket.
Yeah, they're gonna be absolutely cooking.
Of course they will, if my brain is correct,
go up against the loser of timeless X missing
and X Joblavione depending on where you're looking.
So still a tough matchup, but at least you get
the chance to kind of cook and go and push things forward as you are not yet eliminated
from this tournament. That being said though, like Avergo, we appreciate them coming through
and honestly I feel like they have to be happy just to be here. Again, they won that
time breaker match just to even get into this event. So they go away with $3,000. You
got to be happy at least to have your chance to make your mark on history. Unfortunate
result, but you're here and that's what matters.
Absolutely like I had a really impressive impressive run through there were 21 teams that signed up to play in calling all heroes
So although you don't make it through this lower bracket top eight out of 21 is very very impressive, and they should be really happy with that
That being said the series is over. We are gonna jump to a quick break when we come back
We'll have an interview with someone from the winning sides of stay tuned. We'll have that interview in just a moment
Well, three Overwatch has continued from day one into day two.
Maybe that'll change in the future, but to somebody who just went through it, let's
talk to a member of the winning party from Valentine. It's AJMR. How are you doing?
I'm doing pretty good. So what, how's it feelin'?
The camera angle's too close. But anyway.
How was the 3-0? How'd it feel?
Really good actually. I'm not playing in the best circumstances. I'm on a mobile hotspot.
I actually got kicked out of my house a couple weeks ago. I'm playing from a group home on a mobile hotspot.
So it feels really good to be winning because we've got a lot of adverse circumstances, I guess I
Mean hey gotta do what you gotta do and you're still winning so props to you guys
Thank you
Yeah, this is so this was a big change of course you guys unfortunately losing
3-0 fashion in the last match, but now you get to bounce back with the 3-0 of your own
So you had not yet faced off against like a Virgo in the Swiss stage or in the playoffs
So what were you expecting coming into this match?
We were expecting playing versus a lot of bullcops because we did some scouting
We watched their matches on stream and we saw they played mostly ball
We were really thrown off on first map when they were on sig. We were just shocked like shit
We only oh I shouldn't wear uh
It's like wow, they're only on ball in like every map that we saw so far. So we were we were really thrown off
We were really
That was all of us, I think.
So looking forward to your next match,
you are going to be playing the loser of Kafe Fika versus team
missing x-ray.
So which one of those teams would you
rather go up against in this lower bracket?
Honestly, I could go versus either.
I don't really have a preference.
No matter which one ends up in the bracket versus us,
We are still going to do a lot of scouting,
do a lot of work in terms of what our team needs to do.
Because regardless of the team that we're playing versus,
my team still has the same problems.
So we're going to be still working on the same stuff.
I love it.
Yeah, it makes sense.
I mean, adjustments need to be made regardless
of if you win or lose, especially as that tournament still
goes on.
But one final thing to close things out.
Do you have anybody you'd like to shout out
or want to thank anyone who make the day special?
I'd like to thank all of my teammates, because they're all, like, genuinely really close friends of mine.
There are people that I care about immensely.
If they weren't such close friends, I wouldn't be playing in such adverse circumstances.
So the fact that I have these people in my life makes me really happy, and it's really inspiring.
You inspire me to get better at the game, so thank you.
Maybe I gotta try out the Wu Yang after this, too.
Although that was Bernice, but still.
All right. Well, thank you so much for coming on in and we appreciate your time and go enjoy the rest of your day.
Thank you. Have a good one. Thank you.
All right, Rain, any final words on the series?
Just, you know what? I think that it's a very well-deserved win here for Valentine.
I'm happy to see the team move on, especially after talking with AJMR that there have been so many hurdles that this team has gone through just to be able to play here today.
and honestly they looked so good that I would never have guessed any of those
issues or rows so congratulations to Valentine and yeah look forward to
finding out who they'll face off against. Well we will have at least a set matchup
that is coming up next. There'll be a magic moshies versus fable so after the
break that'll be our matchup stick around because hopefully it won't be
three overwatch that continues. We'll have some banger overwatch right after
this.
I
The
the
Hello everyone and welcome on back one series done and dusted but three more still to go
on the day one more remaining in the lower bracket if you didn't know and are just joining
us my name is our cast here with rain will be your yappers for at least this next series
as well as the previous one to get you more new ones but we do have some unfortunate
news right we did have the weather delay going on so we're still sorting things
out which is all good we are still gonna get you the game we promise but in the
meantime we can also take a look at the bracket in case you weren't aware and
everything that's still going on in the upper bracket and lower bracket here take
a peek like a Virgo just fell short against Valentine 3-0 magic mushy's and
fable is your matchup coming up next right now yeah and this is gonna be a
tough one here again we're taking a look at some of the the team sheets
here. Magic Mushies newcomers to the scene. It was all very impressive that they've already
been able to make it this far, but up against Fable, a pretty well-known team here in Calling
Down Heroes. I feel like the Fable name has been a staple for a really long time, right up there
with Valentine and a lot of experience in this Fable roster. We're going to look at some of
the core players of this squad. We're going to have Kaisakul and Rey, a DPS duo that hails
back from Cafe Violet in 2025 Ka, Avery on the tank, Z-Panther, and Fiery another duo, so these
two supports playing through expert division with each other in season nine. So a lot of kind of
synergy in some of the individual cores of this team, and then a lot of experience in the team
just overall. And I have it engraved in my brain for whatever reasons. The Panther on Kira Co
is absolute menace when it comes to the damage. So keep your eyes on this back line. It's gonna
be doing a whole lot of damage. Fiery, I don't know if they're playing Brigha this game and today,
but you never know. I'd be happy to see some break in the mix. That being said, of course,
we do have another team on the other side. We are still ironing out who exactly is going to
be playing. But I can tell you with this fable roster, almost every single one of these
players is champ. I do have to warn you the players on the other side may not be
champ so this might statistically be an uphill battle for the magic mushies but
that's why we play the games and that's why we're here for the entertainment.
Yeah exactly so speaking of magic mushies this is gonna be the team up
against fable today now like we mentioned there is going to be kind of an
emergency sub coming in here so mime on the support is not going to be in
for this it is instead going to be the emergency sub coming through for them so we'll at least
get to see the rest of the team here though open Slade Athena and Mooney here and Athena is
stopping in for Juno who was playing tank previously and we did see them in the upper bracket match.
Yeah that was Juno one of two don't forget there were two yesterday in that match up we
Yeah, we got two players on this roster that are kind of getting changed down
So you might see a little bit of growing pains in map one or so
But hopefully for the magic mushies they can kind of bolster their way through and make a good fight here in maps 2 and 3
And maybe one you never know
Maybe they blow us out of the water having some magical strats that we're just not aware of of course these games
Have to be played out and so magic mushies
I'm excited to see what they have in store for us because again a lot of these players are new to competition
They don't play in like face to their things like that. They're just here
They're here to have fun and hopefully here to make a run
I mean they've already made $3,000 in their first tournament. That's more than I can say but at least I know for myself
Yeah, definitely for me as well. This is a really impressive team here
Most of them hailing from the US, but they do also have open hailing from the South Korea as well
So a little bit of kind of the time zone difference here for open to be playing in
this competition, but super excited that we get to have them here for this and a
little word as well that Mime at the E sub that we'll be filling in for Mime
will be Adora. So big shout out to Adora for being able to step in and
make sure the magic machine is complete as much as.
There we go. The stakes kind of set and now we just got to figure out where
exactly they will be playing. The map pool stays the same and if anything
is what it liked to be from before or something tells me we're gonna head
in Nepal. Oh, would you look at that? It's like we have a script or something. Yeah, we have yet
to see another control map aside from Nepal. So Busan and Samoa just do not exist here in
colleague all heroes. We are very focused on Nepal here now fable coming in as that higher
seed. They are going to have the first hero pan and they are going to go for the tank ban
here. So taking the rematch draw off the table and of course, protecting the paint the tank
role as well. I'm I think I don't know why but on control I feel like we see a
lot of TPS bands okay well I mean my point still stands though of people
usually try to pick your poison when it comes to the TPS bands because control
especially Nepal almost always feel like they turn the tide but the JPC can be
banned out early maybe just to kind of protect the band for the rest of the
series if that makes sense right not having to use it anywhere else yeah
definitely gonna have to make a good use of this jetpack hat band. I mean this is
kind of following this theory I have that one team has to ban either a
Lucio or a jetpack hat on control so this does of course mean that yet magic
machines are not gonna be able to ban the jetpack hat for the remainder of the
series but this does also lead into okay what are we going to see as the
backline. We saw the Lucio curicul come out in our last matchup. Definitely
felt like we were having a little bit of struggle on the Lucio. He's
definitely not in as good of a spot as you've been for the past many years, but I think that
Kiriko very much expecting that we will be seeing that and then maybe even the potential to maybe
see some Brigitte here as well. Give me that Shion. I want to see Shion because like I know
Tracer is really good and all that and teams have played Tracer for years but like I'm ready
for something a little bit different. It's not necessarily new because we've seen a lot of
Shian in pro-play, but I would like to see the Shian here. And again, for those of you just joining us,
if you're maybe not realizing why you don't recognize these teams or the players,
this is calling all heroes an Overwatch tournament circuit for women and marginalized genders.
The goal is to continue building an inclusive environment for everyone,
focusing on equity, visibility, and community support. So yeah, just give us your support
and stick around for the games because they're fun and players are having fun as well.
Absolutely. And of course, there are some drops as well, Chad. So make sure that you have
you have your battle land account connected to your Twitch account, there are four drops
that you can grab with of course, you get six hours in and you will get an eSports loopbox
and the chat has been very eager to get some eSports loopboxes, so stick around for this
match and for the two matches that are going to be happening after this so that you can
get enough watch time to get that box.
I get my loopbox in 13 minutes, thank you.
There we go, Nepal, map number one, obviously the same map that we started on throughout day one and day two.
Don't forget there are two more days happening next weekend.
Three more matches, well I guess two after this one to close out today, but still plenty more overwatch.
And magic mushrooms, we talked about the stakes. They're going to be a little bit on this back foot,
having the substitutes, maybe just not having the competitive experience here,
but they're here to play, they're here to show us what they got.
So let's give them the respect they deserve and see what the cop is
Yeah, doors are opened here
So it is gonna be that Lucio Kiriko backline for both of these teams
You can have the demon and the sojourn match up
However, you are gonna get your wish for the Shion Kaisical from fable ease would be piloting that hero open stick with the old
classic for the side of bushes
Slade on the soj
Wait and see if that railgun really does have that work in store big Susan forced on out open though falls down
Have a recall available
I think just didn't get it out in time and this one before it even starts is over Avery with two
I mean could be a potential stagger on the demon, but think might be getting out safe
Know that you Matt comes through might even be a back to spawn to respawn. Yeah, I'm thinking that as well
Yeah, yeah, I've got to go for the reset here
So fable I mean just using this speed boost from the lucio very effectively fiery is a very well-known lucio player
And it's really fun to get to see her on this because she's so good at leading her team in the aggression
You can see how fast fable walked up past that far side of the point and then just blooded onto magic
They do not have time to react. So there's a question for people pretty good
How is ray found to there? I mean especially in the rocks session. What oh my gosh
Okay, I mean fair enough. I mean, maybe you could have stayed around for the full cap and for some percentage, but like
Fair enough
Yeah, that's a tough win for
Magic Mushies when you start out immediately to fight down to courtesy of Ray
She is fantastic on this hitscan hero. I mean we're gonna see her on the sojourn
I'm sure we will see some Freya from her later on in the series as well
And yeah, well
Well, that's the fight. Two players down off the rip, just a collapse on in this front gate,
and of course, a bit of a stagger here, but you know, Fable feel confident enough just to kind of take it,
not need to do any sort of crazy work. Fable again with ults on the board now coming through.
Yeah, I thought that was the first death, I believe, on the side of Fable for Azzee Panther,
who, I mean, she's going to be coming back from the spawn pretty quickly, yeah.
She's already back in on this Kerakal, and Fable of course, they control the point.
Pretty much you can scroll up the alticon now.
Ooh, nice little little break there. Athena finding two actually, making quick work of the players left isolated and that is three eliminations, Magic Mushies.
Finally, making their mark on history, although Fable have found two picks and I'm a little worried, but the point clip does come through so at least any progress here will be gained in a big stagger, I guess, coming out onto Kaisikul, a big source of damage as well as that spree that could be coming online shortly.
Yeah, I know. A little bit of contests on the point here from Fable.
They made the game for Magic Mushes to stall this out, but with Open Down, it's going to be so hard to keep this percentage going.
I thought they had the recall there most likely.
Did not. Two seconds away from the cooldown.
Here's Avery.
And we know this player loves to be aggressive.
Just flying into the back lines, taking down all possible squishies.
And while standing still, we'll get a Pulse Bomb thrown at your face.
Yes, that is what happened, although Open has now burned the Pulse Bomb in a lost fight.
And a lost point granted, they wouldn't have gotten a chance to really use it any ways.
So Fable, take the first point here and move on in the pause.
All right. I mean, some moments there for Magic Mushies.
Definitely when Athena has a bit of space to work with,
we're seeing a lot more from this Magic Mushies team.
However, they're really having a hard time just dealing with, like you mentioned,
the aggression, especially Avery.
I mean, no deaths on this demon.
I don't believe that she even ended up with a DMAC
at any point here. So yeah, just a stellar showing so far from the side of Fable. And for
Magic Mushies, they're just going to have to regroup a little bit. Try and live through
that aggression and try and hit onto this back line of Fable when the aggression comes through
from Avery. That was where Magic Mushies were finding some kind of opening picks there.
All right, we're going to head over onto Village and we are going to have a bit of a
swap here. Athena is going to be over onto the Orisa here. So instead of kind of looking
to punish onto the back line, looking for a little bit more of a front to back approach.
She on time as well for open maybe some magical keys to success however Ray has
been doing what Ray usually does and it's just take down everyone in her path
and well that would be the fights the points presumably going to be capped here
by at least one of these players from fable and well that quick fight is maybe
a sign of how this point will go maybe not yeah it's gonna be it's gonna be
hard for magic mushies and they're gonna swap off of that Arissa and over
onto the Sigma here, so you're gonna have a little bit of a shield, a little bit of a cycling,
did you hear? But you're still gonna have a very, very bad time against Avery on this
D-mon, like that, thanks Lord!
Big accretion. I was stalled out to push from Avery, but again, no capitalization off of
that. Instead, Dina just kinda left on this point, trying to sprawl it out for herself
on her own, and everyone else just completely gone behind. Avery has at least gotten
the D-mech that you were mentioning before, but I have a feeling I know where the
The Sigma is going and yes it is.
Oh, Avery is joining them.
A quick regroup here, you can see that Fiery is going back to attack Avery back into the
fight so that Fable is still going to be in control of the high ground here by the point.
So important.
Rashid, Najib, Mashi, looking to rotate onto this high ground.
They want to get Slade set up here on this sojourn so that you can start getting a
little bit more space to work with.
Oh no, the Sigma just left to just hope and pray that the damage is enough from the primary fire.
And every does at least go down, but it is at the price of one player.
So certainly room to work with for both teams.
Certainly not a one fight, especially as I'm eyeing up that screen for Kaisakul.
But no wokes really, the other way for Magic Mushes, if they can try and go for this point contest.
Farm up, I was going to say, the Kitsune Rush, but it does not matter.
There's Kaisakul!
And, of course, it's quick by work.
Oh, two more to go with the shots. I mean, cinema.
Oh, see, yeah, I mean, there were no cooldowns for Magic Mushies to try and shut down that spree.
The creation was out, the shield was out, and you don't have any other form of CCs for the boot from Adora here,
so great timing from Pricycle, recognizing when she could get the most value out of that spree,
and now once again, Magic Mushies, they have to try and pull the hat off.
egg slice there every it doesn't get it with the alt but still I mean the shot
certainly capitalizing on the alt itself and it's in a rush used there
fable just has a nice little secure Lena is trying her best
unfortunately this just looks like an absolute battle of doom and especially
with raise overclock you're just not escaping that nor are you escaping
This map unfazed it will be fable. Take map number one
Pretty decisive victory here for fable on Nepal
Now of course they did have the map selection coming into this and fable did come in into this match from that number five
Spot in the standings or I imagine when she's coming in at number seven here
And you can just see from the kill feed here the experience from this team
recognizing when they can get aggressive, when they can pop ultimates, and when they have the best shot at winning a fight clearly.
Disgusting stuff, by the way. Disgusting. Like, just saying I'm a from the Xi'an player, but yeah, I mean, that's map 1 into books, Magic Mushes.
You're a little bit curious on how exactly they would fare, given maybe the ranked disparity in the subs coming through, but I do think they at least had some highlights.
They won some fights, and there are glances. I don't know if that's a word, glances of success?
Maybe that's the word I'm going for because like you see that there are chances
But we're just kind of waiting to get all those pieces fully together in that puzzle
Yeah, it's tough of course because magic mushes do have this kind of emergency sob that has stepped in so they're not working with the
Same team that they've been working with throughout the entire season. Tina coming in on the tank as well
I know that she has had some playtime
But it has mostly been Juno that's been playing the tank at least in the playoffs in the championships
So some adjustments that have been made here for Magic Mushies and it's a hard time to have to make those adjustments
But they do at least make them so that they're able to play this match out now
There were some some good moments there from them
I think that a name of the game for them is going to be trying to shut down the DPS here
I mean Ray and Kaisical for fable have just been doing such a good job
Finding these openings in Nepal
So you really want to try and take some of that space away so that you aren't kind of getting popped with a
railgun or hit with a joyride to try to rotate your way to the point.
If I am at your question here, I am taking a map that people don't typically play because
that is your best key to success, right?
Just the unknown.
If they don't know exactly how to play, if they maybe don't screen this map a whole
lot often, you might have that upper hand in certain fights.
And if your map knowledge is better than theirs, I mean, everyone's obviously played
comp on these various maps, but you might get a chance to break through.
Neon Junction though, I feel like I might struggle a little bit considering the soldier and the Freya all gonna be very powerful tools here
Especially Shiana as well
So all DPS characters that we saw fable running was likely viable here in map number two as well
Yeah, and a non junction. I mean like you mentioned it's one of like this is the newest map
So there's probably less playtime on it than if we had a gun to a king's row
But yeah, there's some really long sight lines here on Neon Junction to work with
I think that Avery is going to be able to play the demon here as well pretty effectively
Okay, so that's that's a good band. It's a good band taking the demon out of the picture here
At least you're not gonna have to worry about the tank and hopefully that's gonna allow you to take more space to
Kinda shut down the DPS slide up for the side of fable now fable hitting back with a support band taking the
Kyrko out of the mix here is pretty interesting to me
I'm wondering what they're gonna do to work around with that
Yeah, I was thinking as well cuz like on one front you could have right obviously the tank protect band
I guess applying in this case
So you only have the choice between the DPS and the support and I feel like any DPS band that you would have thrown out is
Something that you would have played by chance
I mean I guess maybe you could ban like the tracer and after for the she on but maybe you want to go for a
Last second touch and maybe feel more comfortable in the tracer this map things like that
But I don't really know what is gonna be replaced by this Kiriko in the end
I mean obviously right there is some sort of plan they chose it for a reason so I'm expecting some big things in store
But I'm curious to see what it is. My sources say it's probably not a Zenyatta
Yeah, I think your sources might be right on this one unfortunately, but I might be able to offer you a different
Afflict support
But then on the other side of things I'm also thinking you know, where else do you get value from not having a suzu in the mix?
Junker Queen. We did see a little bit of Junker Queen played in our previous series here, so you
have the option to maybe go for that. A little bit tricky on these kind of longer sight line maps,
but looks like we could be getting the honor, since Fable will be on the defense first here,
and yeah, Z-Panther is going to be looking for some anti-nades. Give me the roadhog. Give it
to me I see it's it's not probably gonna stay but if it does these are things you
just don't squirm against so honestly fair enough like okay diva swap most likely
gonna be the case here going through and I'm sadness interesting open is
sticking on this fashion though and magic wishes are gonna go for the double
speed here so okay immediately making a swap over onto maybe more okay more of
a conversationary tank here so that you're going to be able to pair with open, but having
this double speed is going to be really good for trying to close out of that distance and
try and shut down Rey and Icicle on this DPS roll, which I think you're going to want to
especially be looking to do now that Rey is over on that ramp.
I was expecting with fashion maybe a JPC and I'm like, you know, instead not going to
be because, oh big anti-right, yeah, four players, three players that you can see up
in that forward towards the top right side.
Haskell goes down, I mean, the elongation of this fight has actually led to table being
on the back foot, but the one-for-one trade is through Big Rock hoping to get the DM out
and hopefully stay out with your life, especially if the Freya's well trying to get out of the
dodge.
But Avery back up to full HP is a panther.
Just free reign up here in this spot, crouching, making the hitbox ever so much tinier.
And very low on the HP, somebody critical in the sight lines.
It will be Avery as well that goes back tries to help out the team make sure everyone's getting peeled for before the
Resurgence comes back to test this point again. No hard engages just quite yet
But the pressure is applied on this point for the magic machine
So fashion can certainly make their mark on history however Avery
Recognizes that as the potential threat and decides not gonna let that happen being at least nice rock
But I think the damage a little bit too much that you're gonna have to reset
And it's so unfortunate that Magic Moms were so close to at least getting a tick on the board here, but Fable
had just done such a good job keeping somebody on the point at all times, denying that
progress from being made here. And with all of the damage that has come through, Fable already had this nano ready to go.
Ray has the bullet shot as well, and the nano onto the jump! I can't!
Oh no. Has that actually been the case? Yep. Okay, one elimination comes through.
I'm sure to see the Nano JPC, but that'll be, I'll make that a second one as well.
And now it's just free reign, just having fun in the backlines.
But we'll be team killed, we'll be two minutes off from the Clockroom Magic Mushies and Alts
are farmed up now.
So I think if there's any sort of way they're going to break through, it's going to be
Bob Press and Cube.
Yeah, I think that's a pretty good idea.
Having the orbital ray from Mooney is really big, but of course, one anti-nade from
Zepanther could shut down that all the way entirely here.
I like open moving over onto the Genji because somebody needs to be able to access the Panther, he just keeps getting set up on the high ground first in a fire.
Leave me, just cleanse the antennae.
Oh wait, the fan came through.
The Panther down.
And this one looking at least decent for Magic Mushies, but Slade is not exactly Slade.
Tina picking one up.
Avery DMecton.
This is starting to be signs of life.
I'm liking what I'm seeing here.
Magic Mushies, clean things up. Kai's school gets one for the road, but this should be the point cap.
I don't think anyone else really in range and Fable have been knocked down a peg on their confidence strain.
Oh, fantastic parting rock there from Fina, and Crucially Magic Mushies only had to commit in that orbital rate.
Open did a fantastic job on the Genji, putting pressure onto Z-Panther so that the anti-need couldn't go through because she was too busy trying to deal with the Genji.
So fantastic start here for a magic mushy's after a bit of a rocky first walk out of spawn fable
Everybody got kind of the wrong response. So they have to regroup try and fight kind of under the bridge here
They have the spree to work with but that is all they have
Quickly a little bit slow trying to get the nano off to combo with it, but that's what she's happy opportunity to go first
There we go. I
I mean, yeah, if there's two supports there, it makes sense. That's a lot of firepower, even though they're listed as support, they can certainly do a whole lot of damage.
Fable holds strong in this fight, and they use two ults that is magic mushy. I mean, the flux that you didn't think as well, so pretty tough one to lose a lot of resources on.
Yeah, especially when you only got the spirit out, the mana always gonna be ready to go, and, yeah, Fable they're gonna put it over onto A3, not only Fable to push forward, but build up towards the bomb.
this is just mean this is mean I mean nano in the spawn fight I mean make sense
given the kind of close angle that was applied right just one pocket really to
work with especially farming up the ball about the use of the nano so really good
job at least cycling the ultimate's winning one fight and bringing up
another ultimate to have for the next fight but big anti-nade boleyn as well
make that two ray is farming kaisical as well magic moshies well they
They tried to walk forward and Abel said, no, not Mabeled.
It's really tough because not as much as you're running this double speed composition,
which should be able to clear a lot of the space before this poke damage comes in,
but this aggressive positioning from Rey and Kaisa and Avery means that you don't really have
an opportunity to even use that speed to get to the next corner here.
So, okay, Athena is going to make the swap over onto the Zarya.
You're going to be able to put more pressure onto Avery,
but you're going to have these bubbles forced out so quickly from the long range damage
that's coming in from Wray, so you definitely need to make better use of the speed here.
You need to see cleaner engages from Magic Mushy so that they always have at least that
speed rate or the amp speed ready to go in the play.
I absolutely agree with you, they're blade, oooh, big sleep on it, and then just cutting
out their weight.
I thought they were gonna try and throw the engine into the train, but it looks
like not gonna happen there.
Fable, by the way, cleaning up every which way else.
savory with two make that three and fable holding strong they had a blip and it was with the point cap
but this hold has been pretty darn good so far yeah and you know a second point i would argue is
even stronger for this composition that fable has been the first point here the sight lines are
longer magic machine with enum would you go for the bizarre yeah i mean you're just kind of a
sitting back in the open ray it's just uh she's shooting fish in the barrel yes you are made of
Unfortunately, it's not enough to be immune to bullets, especially with Amers as good as the Fatal Sign.
Alright, going to be another attempt here. Not sure what she's doing, have that Orbital Ray from Moody, which helped crack the first point here.
Going to be a little bit harder on the second point, because they really need to take a little bit more space.
Have them able to knit in some cooldowns so that they don't just back out of this Orbital Ray once they're finished.
There is unfortunately the back line is completely gone. It's Kaisakul again. The spree just so potent.
Two eliminations. The team salvaging that up and the Graviton Surge used its found but it holds them to the ceiling.
It does not hold them in this map. Fable, take map number two. Taking the lead to zero.
Ooh, this is looking pretty good for me.
That's not true. I lied.
Not quite.
I thought there was one too. Not bad.
There will be a chance here for Magic Wushies to make their stand on the defense, but I mean,
looking at the stats here, it's a pretty runaway fight time and time again here for the side
of Fable.
I mean, Kaisical having a lot of deaths, but only because she has been so aggressive and
having some of those aggressions kind of punished here, but it's just been, it's
been a struggle kind of across the board, I'd say, for everybody on Magic Wushies.
What I meant to say is that there was a much more dominant start to this map for Fable
that has set them up to take map 2.
That's what I was going for.
Totally didn't get things mixed up there at all.
But Magic Mushies obviously they still have a say, but I think if that point gets capped
you're not going to have the same success at full holding in this sort of second lane.
So I think it really comes down to this first hold and I feel like Fable, if they
just surprise Magic Mushies out of the gate with a comp that is maybe better and
opponents they could just steam through the steam roll through this map and be
in the third one just like that. I agree with you. I mean I feel like even if Fable
don't run a comp that's gonna catch them out off guard it's still gonna be just
the damage from Fable but I mean thinking thinking about the Bastion.
I don't think she is necessarily the one that usually plays the Bastion here.
So she is gonna still stick over on that Freya but Avery is gonna move her onto the Sigma here
So you have a lot of poke damage, which is going to really help where open is around this tourbjorn
So you really see out need to take down the turret and you're gonna be able to walk forward
They say those sigma shields just went down in an instance
I mean the battle really just kind of comes down to that spam damage and I guess ability you should of these sigma players
But as much ease been forced a little bit further back
But no elimination is just quite yet pressure still very much there
the only pick on the Torbjörig that is until Adora falls on the Mizuki.
Not exactly ideal as well, just the space given up, the Recon Test.
It feels like so, so weak, slave-yab, just drops in the backline,
and all sources of damage and feel like any sort of way into this fight has been completely removed.
I would almost hope there's a quick reset here, because there's a stagger, or just hit out of dodge.
I'm thinking the exact same thing. I mean, Magic Mushes don't have a chance to go for a Recon Test
because the payload does not have to push very far here,
So, Magic Moshi's going to be scrambling right now, and we're going to be dealing with a
Bola shot already ready to go in here by right.
I think just looking for one isolated target, Ray's just gonna send it in and call it a day,
but looks like two on cart, not exactly three, the pressure still being maintained, and
jump, jump, trying to get to the high ground, there we go, and yeah, you're just not
expecting a prey on the spot.
Here comes the Bola though, one for one on the trades, and it's actually kind
of a positional switch if you think about it.
Mashi is completely flipping where exactly the teams are supposed to be fighting from and that allows for them to punish
Exactly this aggressive position from fable. Uh, okay, we're running for the hills
Yeah, I don't really want to see magic which is uh trying chase high school too much
I mean, she has so much mobility here magic wishes need to try and hold this first corner
They have the flocks ready to go for thena. So you do have a good opportunity here, but
Let's use out on the Juno that's got that.
Oh, that's ready to go.
Two players down, everybody flux in the mix.
Nice rock.
Call that a uprock in my business.
And yeah, I think as well, one more to go for the road.
But in the end, Fable officially now
have taken map number two.
And yeah, again, pretty dominant here on Young Junction.
A little bit of life, though, in some of the fights
for the side of Magic Mushies.
But yeah, Fable just had the space
to work with everybody was hitting all their shots including
uh... the jetpack cat as well from fiery
man i mean
yeah this is a this is a team that is very confident in all of the individual
players abilities
and this is what i've been jetpack at all of my ranked games i mean obviously
the banners gone from the series right now but
the point is
yeah cat can be annoying and when you play a nano something that you may be
don't see too often
results can vary
depending on who exactly is on your team and who your supports are, things like that, but in the end, Fable, very
fortunate to be set up in this position. Obviously, they worked hard for it, but they are just
snowballing this dominance between MF1 and MF2, and yeah, there's a speed bump here or there, but it feels like they're not exactly worrying.
No, no, I would not say that Fable is super stressed right now. They are pretty comfortable. They're playing very confidently,
pushing up, taking a lot of space.
I mean, we saw on the Unjunction,
you know, fighting in basically the spawn doors
of the side of Magic Mushies
and not really getting punished for it either.
They're setting up aggressively,
but they're not kind of over committing
into too many of these situations.
So if you're Magic Mushies,
when you're up against a team like Fable,
that isn't really making a whole lot
of kind of these really obvious mistakes
of having somebody that's like way caught out.
You need to play your own game a little bit more.
to play a little bit more kind of close together find out your targets kind of
early on in the fights and really just try not to take poke damage as you're
making your way onto kind of these kill boxes because that is something that
Rey and Kaisa will have been really really fantastic about is just forcing
these cooldowns out from magic mushy's early on in these fights and
just setting them out of disadvantage before they can even kind of get to
a spot where their composition would be at its strongest.
I love how he said, oh yeah, you know, try to avoid the spam damage and people are like,
yeah, you can try and avoid it.
Unfortunately, we have five players that are very capable of taking you on down, regardless
of what character they are on.
And it's just, it's one of those things where it's not a lost cause by any means,
but it's like, darn, we really gotta just play near perfect, otherwise we just get punished.
And that is a rough situation to be in.
My logic from earlier, by the way, still kind of applies to try and picking a map
that maybe people aren't as comfortable with or picking something that you are like a one trick pony on go for it.
Maybe it's like the king's row of this particular map pool for you, but it looks like we're headed to escort.
I'm shocked. I'm honestly shocked.
I'm very surprised that if we were to go to maps four and five, that it would be flashpoint and push that are awaiting us.
This is pretty uncommon here, but I guess not so uncommon is route 66, which we have to see for a second time here on the broadcast.
I would say probably get a well-practiced map for a lot of these teams
But I would say not the favored escort map for a lot of the teams nowadays
I'm more looking at kind of the circuit royale is being kind of really up there
So definitely I have an opportunity to maybe kind of play your own strategy here on route if you're magic machines
I mean, yeah, given the map pool of Route 66 Shambali monastery and
Junkertown I understand why people are playing the route 66
I personally am a fan of Shambhali, but that's maybe that's just me. I like the longer sightlines
I like the chaos of every sort of vertical turn that you have and everything like that but route 66 is where we're at now
Diva band comes through and I feel like it's one of those things where they're just like yeah
We'll pay in the diva. I mean there's a lot of things to worry about. This is just one less
Yeah, I like the idea of going for a tank fan here again for a magic mushy
I do think that, you know, if Avery pivots back over onto the demon here on route 66, it'll be a little bit harder for her to access the high ground than if she was playing the D.Va, but she can also pivot over onto the Sigma, of course.
The Sigma perk will allow you to have the levitate so that you can get onto the high ground regardless.
So I think that diva at least not having that on the field you won't have to worry about the defense matrix
But you still gonna have issues because a pretty of course very talented on some other tanks here
This is gonna of course protect the tank roll as well
Don't necessarily know that fable. We're going to go for a tank ban here
Fable really have the opportunity to just hit on a band that they think is going to
Just kind of hinder the team a little bit here
because I don't think they've really have like a counter play that they need to do right now.
Well, the ban is in, and I'll tell you that, but it's such a rare ban that we actually don't have the graphic loaded up for it.
It's the Sierra ban. So, if people are banning Sierra here, they're just saying,
you know what, you're going to try and pull out some wild things.
So if you want to pull up the Sierra too bad, you can't.
We're going to keep you on the same tempo and the same characters that you've been running,
because we know we can win that match up.
Fair enough. Yeah, that's it.
We definitely do not see the Sierra Band come through a whole lot.
So, and we kind of mentioned this a lot of these series where it hasn't necessarily been a whole lot of back and forth between the teams.
Is that you don't necessarily want to go for a band that is going to pivot the team too, too much, because if you're already winning out against a team that is doing kind of everything they can,
You don't want to put them onto a track that maybe might surprise you so I think yes
You're a band you weren't gonna play to Sierra yourself. So take it off the table. Just in case
The team wants to run it. I don't I can imagine I just cannot imagine that this year
I was gonna be on the table. I don't know
Okay, so let's make a tiny little gamble here, right?
teams like to make a little widowmaker or jump shot out of spawn
There's multiple guesses to be had. A, does the shot hit, slash, is there a shot available?
B, do we see the Widowmaker longer than one shot? I feel like those are two questions that
we can ask here. And as well, open is a Hanzo player though, so that might kind of throw
away the scamba a little bit, but...
They could, they could actually stick on this Hanzo. I think, you know, it's a
long-range map. I think that having access to the Hyper-Onus Hanzo as well, having
The wall climb is pretty beneficial.
But on the side of Fable, since they are going
to be on the defense first, Rey, of course,
going to be sticking on that Freya.
And interestingly, we are still going to have Z-Panther over
on this Ana, as well, despite the Kiriko being back
into the mix here.
So we'll see what she can get done on this hero.
There isn't a dive pop that's coming through
from Magic Mushies, but the long-range damage
can still very much put pressure onto this Ana.
off the rip. Just a spawn door line up, love that. And Venus, watch you go to Reinhardt.
Yes, give me absolute chaos and pandemonium, I love it. Especially with that kind of long
distance damage poke from magic mushes as well. You're gonna be able to hopefully land
a pin on either Kaisakul if you can, if you're lucky, or Avery, and then just kind of
work around the rest of the team and hope that the damage is enough to poke them on out.
We'll see how that works, but open as well. Just kinda waiting for players to fall
for players to fall into their lap.
Big amount of damage out of the Sigma,
but Adora is down for the count.
Uh, yeah, now I think your Lucio is
bad news for your Reinhardt.
It looks like Nina, she is going to be able to kind of stay alive here.
Uh, the swap onto the Reinhardt is trying to kind of counter
a counteract debris on the Sigma,
where when you have the speed of the Lucio
and the giant hammer of the Reinhardt,
in theory, you should be able to kind of just walk
onto the Sigma and swing your hammer.
But there's a lot of poke damage that's available
that aren't going to have to be set up right with Avery, Ray, Z-Panther, Firey,
all of them are going to be able to put pressure on to Magic Mushies
as Athena is trying to make this approach.
I was going to say, I would like to see the high ground scale.
What you do after that, I think just kind of commit to a fight,
try and find somebody a little bit isolated.
Granted, everyone knows exactly what you're doing
when you're on Reinhardt up on the high ground,
but I think the vision is there
if they can at least take a little bit more space
than just getting absolutely slammed by two different verticalities.
It's going to help your chances and your favoritry.
He sets Slade as well close to that Bola.
Unfortunately, Array is closer to that Bola as well, farming by the elimination category
and Erilo and the Reinhardt player.
Nice little Stagger's coming through.
Again, a team fight that should be cleaned up without many casualties, I say, as Kaisa
will fall down.
All right, you get the Genji out of a fight, that's something here for Magic
Mushies.
They are going to be able to get into this fight before Kaisa will get back
to this first point.
So there's a small window here for Magic Mushies. They have opened on the Symmetra as well.
So you do have access for Athena to get up onto the high ground of that garage.
And I think Magic Mushies are going to want to get access to that high ground sooner rather than later.
You want to be able to get Slate set up to use this Bowless Shatter.
WWFB, what would Flats do? And in this situation, I'm ready for that Reinhardt gameplay to absolutely cook.
But we're still 20% off of that Shatter. Just kind of waiting for the moment to strike in its way.
of course who else would find the opener in this battle make that a second one's a panther doing the damage out in the backline
A backline dive attempted by the magic mushy's but that will soon be put out
Unfortunately for magic mushy's any other building up to the shatter and the continued rush by feeble
I think that the three also work with they have the nano blade available for practical adora is behind in the beat as well
So magic mushy's aren't really gonna have an answer to this unless Athena could be that could hit maybe a shatter onto the Genji
But it's a red thing!
Uh-oh.
Uh, well, no more open.
No more Symmetra and Kaisical will be chased into the spawn doors.
Not going to go for the touch and achievement challenge,
but they'll just be back to retreat the rest of the team.
Hopefully going to follow suit,
trying to recuperate for one final fight.
I mean, 40 seconds.
If you die quick, I guess you could get a second one.
But I don't think magic mushy is...
I don't think dying is what they're going for here.
No, definitely not.
Three alts ready to go.
This is finally going to be the advantage
that they're looking for the shot going to connect on.
They need to make something out of this Katsune rush.
Yeah, I mean, you could go for a gamble pin.
You see everybody here, but was that the bull run invested?
I thought I heard something like that.
Well, it's a beat the Katsune rush as well in the mix.
And you see a little bit of a chase after the player.
You're swinging after the Wu Yang and big
snipe there from the Reinhardt.
But unfortunately, where is the rest of your team?
It's tough to salvage, especially
your lucio's just been sniped from right beside your shield gamble pin time incoming and there it goes
onto one looking for maybe the mega good place and unfortunately not enough hp to work with
and this should be the end of the road for magic mushing here on this side a decent amount of space
gained given the plays that they were going for and the attempts that they make to hand the gamble
something unfortunately just fell in a bit shorter yeah it's just it's so tough to play against
the setup that fable had for this defense and i mean rey has just been absolutely on fire on this
freya so as soon as you're kind of walking in even after open swap you're on to the cementra
you're still just taking so much poke damage before you can even walk in get that teleport
onto the low ground avery and sepanthor both not even being sent back to the spawn once
so yeah this is it's going to be tough that's that's going to be a pretty strong hold here
for the side of fable and I suspect that they're going to be bringing as much aggression as they usually do onto their attack so
Mushy's are going to have to really try and lock down the first corner of
Route 66 if they want a chance to push us to a map number four
What do you think about these tank lines because honestly?
I think fable are actually going to stick with this ball and I think that's much
She's rolling out of spawn are gonna go for the ram. Never mind. Okay. We're second guessing
Okay, I was kind of thinking maybe the ram as well.
You really want to play for survivability right here.
Okay, over onto the demon as well, so you do have this kind of form of survivability.
Fable have to know that magic mushes are going to be playing more for kind of a bunker style
here with open on the May.
So yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if Avery does play on this wrecking ball.
Rey and Kaisakel on the Genji and the Tracer are going to give you really high
mobility.
Fiery on the Mercy is a surprise to me, but we'll see what you can get done.
What is the damage boost being applied to is more my question. The Genji, I guess?
Maybe the Racking Ball, if you want to be really aggressive Mercy and hope your movement is going
to save you, but Ray, damage boosted? Yes, apparently going to be dealing the damage in
these fights and slicing and dicing. We've said for Demon, we've said for Vendara,
Now Genji here and Fable in very clean work of this fight. I mean, they're just piecing
the opponents apart. Although, Athena does find one on as a panther. Again, so many isolations
coming through here. Avery, big slam onto the May. No ice block to keep any health and
fiery has found an elimination on Athena, just so you're aware.
A little bonk on the head from the Mercy and it's a lead kill on Tumuni as well
She's gonna have a very long walk back from the spawn three players on this payload of two players on this payload
They will aren't going to be moving this forward very quickly and even though magic mushes have a Dora on this Lucio
It's gonna be very hard for them to take another clean fight
You see me roll up never okay well adora nice try we appreciate the touch anything else to be said from the magic
Let's see, at least the last-age effort with High School with Paul's Bomb, expecting that one to go out.
Oh, no, taking down by Thena, hold up, maybe some world where this is doable.
Unfortunately the number is not exactly there, but Thena doing everything that she can in order to make that happen,
firing down again.
But where is that support?
I mean, I say as we cut to a support, you'll be, but that's not exactly my point.
My point is where's the full team, and maybe Thena is the whole team.
No way has the fight just been won.
I cannot believe she managed to find all of those limbs.
I mean, fantastic stuff from the tank player here.
Magic Mushies keeping them alive in this map.
At least for now, that's the fall spot.
Thankfully, Magic Mushies not going to fall to that.
And thankfully, they also have a couple of ults to work with here.
That Nano from Mooney most likely going to go over on Athena.
Looking for the slam mines here, and hopefully not the mine nine.
That would be an unfortunate way to go.
with the blade. I believe Nano as well invested in on that. Kaisa will fix up one, make that two,
limit break, alt dump. We've seen it before. That's how people win their comp games here. They can
certainly win officials by doing the similar strategy. Nano out onto the She-On hoping for
the best. Thena is going to have to be the entire team again this time. Unfortunately,
Stagger is not exactly the name of the game. It's removing the threat,
holding on to the point cap and it will be the case. Fable continuing our three overwatch streak,
six series in a row. They're going to be staying alive in this bracket.
And a very clean look here from Fable. Excellent play from all of the individuals on this team,
Ray of course, popping off. It's fun to get to see her over onto this Genji as well. Typically a
hit scam players so being able to kind of pull out a Genji and look as good as she did on Route 66.
Very impressive look for Fable. I mean hey maybe that was like a test run of the comp for Fable
to the point where they're like okay we can use it and maybe a lower stakes situation to feel if we
but to decide if we feel comfortable or not to use it and maybe a one where we're feeling a
little bit pressured to just kind of make a gamble swap and go for a different sort of strategy
and hey maybe we do see that in a future series from the fable side but for right now the
series over done dusted three zip and unfortunately that means we have to send one side home.
Yeah, it was a good run here for Magic Mushies, a team that was made up mostly of newcomers to the
Calling All Heroes scene and to competition in general here in Overwatch. So a fantastic look
for them. Again, I said this in the last series, but there are 21 teams that signed up to play
and calling all heroes so to come top eight out of 21 teams many of which had some kind of veteran
players on the rosters it is no small speed here for magic mushy so it was a treat to get to watch
them in the playoffs. Rain we would be farming calling all heroes too wouldn't we we just had
to cast which is why they were like oh you know you guys be rolling but we gotta take you out
just to keep all the other okay you get my point you get my joke the whole point is we
We are going to talk with the real winners though of the series, not just us, we're going
to see an interview with somebody who's feeling quite good after that matchup.
We'll see you in just a bit and we have that set up.
See you then.
And we are back, we are still here, don't worry about it, we haven't gone too far and
we have an interview with someone from the winning side, Fable, coming up on here, so
let's see who is it going to be, it is Avery, welcome to the stream, how are you feeling
after that game went?
Hi guys, I'm feeling good, I'm happy to be moving on into the bracket and get
to see the next weekend.
All right, Rain, take it away.
Yeah, so I'm super interested to hear some of your thoughts
about the roster.
So of course, Fable is the core of the Fable team
from the last season.
And Ray and Kaisical stepping in is kind of this DPS duo
that came from Cafe Violet.
So what has it been like to try and incorporate Ray
and Kaisical into this kind of pre-existing roster
of Fable?
It's been wonderful.
I mean, they're both really easy to work with.
They're both super driven and we are super happy with them.
Obviously, me and Fyre and Panther
have been together forever.
But finding people that kind of fit our little dynamic
is not always the easiest.
But I think we found a great match with these two.
Awesome.
Yeah, I think so too.
You guys have looked super coordinated.
You would never be able to tell that Rancais
is a little kind of coming in just this season.
I am super excited that we also have a tank player here
as well, because I really want to hear your thoughts on Dima.
We got to see you play her a little bit today.
How do you feel that she's kind of like fitting
into the meta right now?
I honestly haven't had as much time on her as some people,
just because I've been super busy with other stuff.
But from what I mean, she's like right up my alley.
Obviously, I love Diva.
I think her movement is super fun.
And she's really strong right now, maybe a little too
strong, but we'll see maybe maybe one more week if we give it to me and I can
play more next weekend, but yeah I'm having a ton of fun with D-Mon.
Yay, fingers crossed we do get to see more for our next week. It was super fun to
get to watch you in action with her. Obviously there's there's matchups coming
in next week, but to focus in on today and maybe the team you played
against they were a bunch of players playing in their first ever
overwatch tournament. Is there anyone that you can see from that team that
you expect to maybe go a little bit further next year or someone you can
to see having a good trajectory from that opposing side?
I think they all have huge potential.
And I think my journey through calling all heroes
has been one where I really try to stand by my morals
and I surround myself with good, hearted people.
And I think if I can inspire anyone that's
trying to compete but maybe feels like they can't
or there's a ceiling, placements and money in the bank account
isn't as important to me as having a great group of people
around me.
So I think if they all have their heart in it
and they enjoy playing together, then stick with it.
And they'll definitely improve.
Got to love it.
I guess one final thing before we send you off,
anyone you want to shout out, anyone
that you want to thank, who make the day special?
I mean I would shout out everyone on this fable journey I've been on but it would take forever
and I know the people watching for drops would enjoy me stalling the broadcast forever but
I will spare you guys from that so yeah I mean everyone that's been through this fable pipeline
and joined me on this journey I very much appreciate you and it's fable for life.
Well thank you so much for coming in we appreciate your time in the interview go enjoy the
rest of your day or watch the rest of the matches, depending on what you feel like doing.
Thank you so much.
Yeah, thank you, guys.
Thank you.
Oh, Reign, we got two more matches on the day.
What are you feeling about those two?
I think there might be a chance here to break the three Overwatch streak.
We are, of course, going to be heading up to the upper bracket for the next two
matches where we have the strongest of contenders here in the top eight of this
calling all heroes championship so I think that these next two matches you
are not gonna want to miss. I love how you keep saying okay this next one we
promise it's gonna be for real. I mean we believe like genuinely some of these
teams you know might just be having off days or one team really just does
their homework and surprises the others but like we're telling you I okay I
believed today more than yesterday we are going to see a map go the other way
these are the top four seeds in the semi-finals so you just have to believe
that they're gonna be that much more closer that being said me and Rain we're
gonna dip on out we've got two more yappers so be nice to them we'll
also have two more matches coming up after the break so calling all heroes
This will be right back after this.
I
You
I
And welcome back to the Colonial Heroes Championships Day 2.
We've had the unfortunate time of sending two of our teams home today,
but things are looking up because there's no more of that,
at least for the four teams that remain in our upper rackets.
So we just look at that here in a second, Jesse.
Yeah, here we go.
And it's been, again, a lot of three overwatch over the last two days.
It's six straight games, you've got three overwatch,
but I think these two games could change it up.
First up, we're gonna have timeless X missing taking on extra blue viona. And then the other side of the upper bracket cafe Fika
Taking on team missing x-ray after the the battle of the Junos
During that cafe Fika magic mushy's game, which if you need a little bit of a good laugh
That is the game to watch from yesterday. Yeah, that was intentional cast or tortured
They had it all for us, but we were known for the challenge. Very fun
We'll have a different kind of challenge today, timeless X missing and team missing X-ray.
Lots of those either way.
So yeah, pretty cool to see where these teams go.
And I think that one of these games on paper looks a lot closer than the other.
Timeless X missing, a team of almost entirely returning champs from 2025 are looking to
run it back again with even potential Jesse for some of our first re-time champions.
Yeah isn't that just crazy to say right three time champions potentially here
from Time Lose X Missing. It's some of the best players we've had in calling our
heroes so if you take a look at that roster and it's just star power across
the way here it is going to be potentially it looks like sniper
starting instead of Saw Hill. I think we saw a lot more Saw Hill yesterday
But I think this team is maybe trying to figure out who that demon players actually going to be
Consider we've seen that across a few different rosters a little bit of change up. So for now, it'll be sniper starting
Yeah, sniper coming in. I think it's as he said a bit of a mix and match having two talented tank players on your roster
Take advantage of it as much as you possibly can. I think I do want to highlight wisps as well
came out of retirement again to compete in this tournament for calling all heroes
with a roster that they are incredibly familiar with and again the fact that he
came out of retirement now can be one of the first three-time champs in this scene
behind the wild same goes for sniper who actually will not be in that has
just been confirmed it will in fact be saw hill which just contracts with the
demon player we saw yesterday yeah so never mind on that yeah saw hill will
be starting here for title sex missing uh... yeah like i said this piece of
waste
dps line
maybe the the most dangerous you could put together if you put all the rosters
in calling our heroes in one spot
uh... it's crazy and even zee's and then why
they've been a duo for a very long time so this is a one of the teams to watch
and for a good reason but on the other side
of the coin we have extrovolveone
which again they've had their pretty consistent run
of results as well
uh... had a pretty decent result up for finish
in the qualifying tournament i'm looking for a little bit more here
at champs
yet and i think that this team
was kind of the one that
meet expectations during that seating tournament coming up swiss in second
place and coming out of seating in fourth
uh... rough turnaround i think for a roster that has a lot of potential
the team. We have a lot of
players in the team. We have
a lot of players in the team.
Sandy leading the charge her
experience as being a tank
player for teams Spain in the
Overwatch World Cup brings a
lot to the table. Same with
winter and shawl who had been
rising throughout the ranks
of our hits cans. And I say
yes, hits cans plural because
we got two of those same goes
for the flex support
situation. Palettes has been
kind of flexing over to more
of like that Lucio if
needed. Whereas envy was a
I think the pieces are there for extable the only it just comes down to the execution on that given day
But against the roster with the pure strength of timeless X missing. I think it's asking a lot to have this be their win
Yeah, I have a feeling if this roster is going to make a run. It's going to be through that lower bracket
But we've already had some shockers here
This year it was more in that seating tournament
but we have kind of got that feel of, you know,
this is the day where some of those upsets could start to formulate here.
So control obviously going to be our first map of the day.
The joke has been is we've gotten a lot of three overwatches.
We also got a lot of Nepal, but that streak,
it will finally be broken here in series seven of Khan Champs
as we had it to Samoa for our first map.
Pete Moa, shout out, Time with Sex Missing for being there for in here.
Love this map.
So much fun to both play and watch not a ton of teams end up picking it obviously both this tournament and the other ones
I just because it's one of the and I guess I don't know if like odd balls
I'm just really the way to say it. She's talking about each
Will be frant for the first been there. I think that makes sense
We've seen winter and shoal on that pick be quite terrifying to say the least
And protects any other especially at she on and that we've been seeing a little bit
Yeah, no that's not total shock and it's actually the Maga Banner from extra blivione
We see a lot more demon bands than Maga bands
Throughout champs just because she's kind of jumped into the meta, but Maga still definitely has this place
In this map they can also give debots in trouble
If you can't play around the cooldowns, so that is gonna be a pretty decent band
I have a feeling we're just gonna see more demon here
during map 1, but we'll see if these teams want to give us something else.
I actually believe from what we were watching to, don't necessarily pivot towards the Dmon as much, at least from their match yesterday.
I think it was, you know, just going against Valentine, not the same caliber of opponent as Timeus X missing,
and I think it makes a lot more sense for them to go more towards that mirror,
as opposed to something like the sorry of Vendetta or even the hazard that we got a taste of Friar.
So ideally some demon on demon action with some jet pack cat in the skies.
I feel like the DPS line, you can get a couple of different looks here, especially with the Freyavan being in place.
And I think that's where my sights are set and the chance that X-Fruit of the Owning can take this down is some of these pop-ups that winters become known for.
Yeah, they're going to need a lot of these pop-offs from the headscans.
Just because a lot of the time missing, timeless missing, they're getting a lot of these fight
wins because they're finding that first pick.
Because they have such great DPS to kind of help create those opportunities.
That needs to be answered here by extra blue viona.
Find a way to punch back.
Get those opening picks instead.
Get yourselves on the right foot to start because once this time is like missing
roster gets going. It is a very hard train to stop. Yeah, and I think that's kind of
gotta be for extra me on a you have to have a strong start on this map. I don't think there
is going to be too much time for you to get your feet wet, get a feel for what this matchup
will be, which is kind of shocking the amount of games that have been played somehow.
These two teams have managed to avoid each other in for quite a bit. I think it was
in the very first game of the Swiss or something crazy, that they ended up playing, and it was a 3-1 for Timeless X missing.
So the potential is definitely there, four maps to be taken off.
And we'll see how that ends up playing out. It is actually a passion by the looks of it, for Timeless X missing something that hasn't been pulled out a lot, shockingly.
Yeah, we haven't seen a ton of it, I think just because the Bastion can have issues sometimes,
but it also can give the opposing demon issues if they're not aware of it.
So that's going to be something Jabluvionne has to play a little bit safe around,
and you can see already everybody kind of is stucking for cover, waiting for those cool DOS to go.
Yeah, it's...
Time was like, in the same...
We'll almost permanently have control of this tempo just because of Wisps.
We're waiting for that fashion forum to go on through,
but the problem is, then why it was all about our own little adventure,
and that is not where you need to be, especially for our Wisps, like,
Where's my cat center?
Currently back in spot.
So, you'll be waiting quite a bit for that when it comes back.
Both supports now take the air of the strong start for XGBLV on.
Yeah, great start there for XGBLV on.
And now we can kind of bunker down under here as the cat is yet to actually go through.
Time's like missing one.
I just stretch this out a little bit.
But eventually, that will go through in that final shot from Shell.
Maybe a little bit dicey there for a moment.
But does find the baxter on the other side.
the other side and now it is time to sex-missing. I want to change it up and the answer is yes,
it will just be a match on the Cassidy from Wisps but again the cat's still remaining here so now
we get that full mirror matchup and some cat nudes on the way. The Cassidy are a much more well
known pick from Wisps although they are not having the best time like I immediately look
up at their health tomorrow 20% of their health there. So yeah they can get into position,
Lot of it again comes down to these jetpack cats and staying away from demons
Which was has to have both supports come back and peel but santi over extended for that play plus some
It's not really worth the cost of the mech at all in time. Looks like it's missing
Easily be able to take control of this point. It's just a matter of how long winter
It's all this out and if it will be enough for santi to get back in the fight
That's how God sees though. Yeah, you just don't really have to help ours
Yeah, I think these are just close enough for that one to count
But I don't think she's gonna complain too much team still caps to the point
But solid 52% right away here for jubilee own this is kind of what we were talking about earlier
You need jubilee on if they want to pull this upset
Gotta find some momentum early and they have done just that but now they need to hold onto it
The cat noon here for shawl on the way
That noon is nothing ready to go, but since they're kind of spotted, hard to get the full
value or it's recalls forced from peace, it's meant to be out of the fight, a desperate
attempt there.
Cut that from then, why?
That doesn't really result in all that rush, the point flip goes over, it was a trade
for the demon mix.
Exible Veil will have the benefit from this much more in the long-term, full
of Kitsune rushes.
Ended up being popped just in response, but it's all peace in the kill feed.
I'll sweep up those pieces
No, it's an extra 14%
That you get theirs, but yes, it was a very expensive lost fight all four elements that you did have
We're all expended
Maybe just a late pulse bomb here in this fight from winter
So now the power shifts over to Thomas X missing trying to look for a catnune of their own
With with just kind of chilling out on the sky waiting for this push to be made
Next move, they know this. Look at the positioning out there, baby.
Fully indoors where it can easily duck back in the cover.
Unless you're sandy, they stay out in the open for way too long.
Under the crosshairs, up with Wist and Solhill.
The cat-eye combo doesn't even need to be used.
Yeah, just lacks it. That almost like uses it as the bait, right?
Trying to force everybody into that closed corners,
and then the rest of the team converging from there.
Now one fight territory.
Forage move, you're on it.
extended this round just a little bit longer, but a very aggressive move!
safe, full spawn from peace ends up getting cleansed there if the NBTP's in, but because
all of the resources are used just to stop this tracer, nothing can be done to support
your frontline in this battle and to get all back the front approach from time of sex
missing, it's gonna go ahead and secure them the beach objective.
Round one goes to time of sex missing after a solid start from Jubilevione, but it
It will be just slowly but surely time was like missing
chipping away at it and winning the round.
Some positive signs though, from XO in that one.
Now as we take a little bit of a look and just like,
I like a lot of what Jublivion is doing right now.
I feel like they had a great start, but it's just a little bit of,
I don't know if it's miscommunication.
There's been a few times to where like winter's going in
going in and then Shull gets left behind
or the rest of the supports are moving with Santi
or Santi's kind of went a little bit too far
on some of these engagements,
trying to find the wisps in that back line.
So it's just one or two pieces away here
for Jabilivio and now gotta see
if they can put it together here in round two.
Same compositions will be mirrored out.
I didn't see the positioning too.
I think that's what Timeless were doing so well
was taking control of the wider areas of the map.
So, WISC 9 times out of 10 was in a better spot, and it forced Santee to overextend to go ahead and try to take care of this gas that is such an issue.
I've wanted the air lift onto the tank, and that does help clear some of this high ground area.
I actually moved the arms like, you know what? It's a little too risky.
I just stay down and bunker at the point, make time of sex missing that's come to us, which I have to do eventually.
Which is the recall out and again, Santi just not having a good time
going up against Saw Hill, even with the cast of the Occupy.
Yeah, that's basically how this entire round is gone.
It feels like it's just Santi goes in, he doesn't have the exact support to make those plays, whether, you know,
she knows it or not, and it just kind of falls apart from there.
For Jubileveon, yes, it's a free 15%.
percent you can't complain that aspect of it too much but it's still a lot more you
would like to be done here is just then why kind of this dragging with us a little
bit of a an anchor trying to get some early information some damage it
I think it's just sandy is used to just running it down and getting whatever
value that time was missing there's some right over here she's not expecting to
take that much damage and no matter what Envy and Paulette to do between
Yeah, it's not like this healing composition for both teams, right, is going to have an
increased amount of insta healing.
Yes, having the Suzu is great, the perk can do some nice work, but it does take time for
these tanks to get healed back up, and I think that's what Santi's feeling right now.
Whenever time she goes in, she doesn't get that support right away, and before she
knows it, it's too late.
Dual of the cat eyes there so ends up falling down to it's a great call from both of these castities as soon as pop
But one that pops up first always gets the dual win
Tymos like missing and they're gonna maintain their hold on this point as well
I would only that one all being used
And this this is starting to feel like timeless is kind of just taken over the span
Obviously could sooner rushes though here for envy which that'll be a great opportunity for her to escort us for team
in, but you look at the other side and it's 4 else here for Thomas X missing. So it already
falls onto Santee and once again Santee's out of back.
The shoes are just a hair too late from N.V.
2A rush will help X2 will be able to get to the point. They're walking through hell
to even get a toe on the objective and keep this in fight, don't need any longer.
And almost a team wipe here. Thomas X missing. I'm going to end up closing this map
here and now I think Winter may be lurking in the backline as an attempt to get
touch she won't have the recall and everybody is on her tail to try to stop
at peace premature victory dance real us like wait a minute this round is still
going on there you go buddy now you can take your chance to celebrate map one
titles that they're the favorites for the reason here right right Molly like
that was the type of performance we've kind of come to expect from this roster
there is definitely maybe a question or two going into champs considering how
how close of a final it was in that seeding tournament and how this team's gonna adapt to the demon meta
and how everything's going to go, but Saw Hill looks completely comfortable on this hero
and I think a lot of it there was Saw Hill kinda wins that initial demon duel, sets the towing for the rest of the fight.
I would love to know how many times Santee got DMAC'd before anybody else died.
It's gotta be almost five times during that map alone.
That is easily the number one thing here for JBLIVION to fix is they got to keep
Santee up some way somehow or change it up here in some of the
compositions because it is such a disadvantage for JBLIVION to be down
and already have your Dmon out of mech that early into the fight.
It's also a statement of the conference that Timeless X-Missing have going into this game.
We're a main target to be Santee. They've done their research. I think they
figured out that there is a slight disconnect between what that plan is, how much Santee is able to get away with within the back line and their pre fight positioning is honestly what is winning them out these battles and a lack of scouting and extra
the only are able to do as a result. It's kind of coming back to bite them in a lot more of these
fights. So whatever they can do to change that up, I think it's going to be a main focus point,
because it has got to be so frustrating to be Santhe right now. Oh, it's got to be incredibly
frustrating. Like every time you try and go in to make a play, you die in like two seconds.
Like it's got to be so frustrating, but obviously there can be things that can change. And
Obviously you could just ban off the demon if you don't want to try and force that we have obviously a pretty decent map pool in terms of dive
Maps and poke maps
Whether it be a hybrid and escort especially so there is options for jable of the own to kind of change it up
Take a different route during this one is obviously it's the first time. They've actually had to pick a map
During champs other than Nepal during that first round last time to play neon junction and new junk city
And they won both of those out of 3-1 score line. So
Maybe if they felt like they had enough success on those even if they were Valentine map picks
Could just return to something you've already played this tournament or throw a little bit of a curve ball towards timeless
It's quite a bit in New York City or not. Well, yeah, New York City and met me on junction
But New York City also applies to that as well
So I assume these teams definitely have their favorite maps that they like to pull out again shout out
the game, but I think it's
really important to have
time to get out. Timeless
X missing for taking peak
Moa in and, uh, give him to
some new scenery beach
vacation, if you will, but I
think for extra beyond it's
less of the actual map type
that you're going to, but
more of the fundamental of
how are we approaching
these fights? I don't feel
like that there is a massive
mechanical differential between
like each individual player
if we cross map them, but
it's how these teams are
I'm the ridiculous and the time that they have spent playing with each other in previous iterations of this roster
Is really showing in the communication that they have and how they just always seem to be one step ahead?
Yeah, the quality of play right now and just having that pre-existing chemistry of like I know for a fact that I can trust
My support to I can trust my tank. I can trust my DPS duo
Like understanding that you have that full trust you're not worrying about what they're doing throughout the fight
It's a giant stress off
Everyone's shoulders on that roster and it's showing right now
Just how seamless it has been so far throughout this tournament and now it looks like you maybe have that map pick for
Exigibli v. Ode and again
We'll kind of see if they want to go back to something new or to something they've already played it throughout this tournament personally
Well, it'll be nice to have that Freya back for sure and kind of put that in the hands of winter
But also you want to try and look at it. Do you want to go fully into the poke?
But I saw hell can still pull out a pretty decent Sigma
So I don't know if there's an ideal pick here for a jubilee on it is just where do they want us to take this series
They want to take us more to a demon near or if they want to mix it up on the tank line
Yeah, and I do wonder too that, you know, Santi and it can play this demon.
We saw it in the World Cup.
We've seen it in this tournament as well.
Is that necessarily where the comfort of the rest of this team is going to be?
We are going to get a second oddball.
That is the last match I expected to be pulled out here.
Junkertown is where extra oblivion want to take us.
I remember correctly Jesse we saw this before in the seating tournaments where there was some weird like Reinhardt
Bunker on payload shenanigans. Are we running that back?
I
I had this one. I I don't know
Which I was not expecting junker town to be pulled here
And this was the joke even during the qualifiers was
Nobody really picks Junkertown a lot during that tournament. We were seeing
Dorado and Cirque Royale
Even in this tournament so far. We've been seeing a lot of route 66. That is much too Bali
We've been seeing most of the time route 66 be picked. So
That is an interesting one here to see get pulled out
But let's see what XO want to do with that. I believe it was actually them who picked it last time as well
That was against cat cafe who's now obviously cafe Fika
and they did win it so let's see maybe they want to pull a little bit of that
jaytown magic
uh... throw timeless x missing a little bit of a curveball here
i would love to see
with swiddlemaker
who plastic right there
it'd be so cool to watch i think it's a risk i i do wonder even if i should
be on
consider banning that
uh... just with how good it is
and would be so on paying that would have to match that as well so
uh... purr and perhaps a bit tricky
but if that ends up being the call for these teams but
is not turning into more of a brawl
from what i can remember actually think is also
indicative of this tracer van recie coming up
as you have to dedicate somebody else towards the objective less focused on
the the smaller thing
and just as a big
you just really because peace was kind of tearing it off
uh... during some of our on the trace or winter is kind of struggling
to keep up with the pace of take out a big flanker
like he said obviously can help
with the sniper gameplay as well that we assume we're going to see
uh... from at least one of the dps
uh... from extra movie on it is going to be the demon near and the demon ban
actually from timeless
getting pulled out so
one in a movie force a little bit of what it'd be a summer ride uh...
but that we miraculously see on this map again
or more than likely awesome signal
yeah and that's if there is sigma
the option to sub sniper in is there
for
almost as missing i believe we see saw help play a little bit in the past but
and between sigma diva those are like those are sniper heroes we've always seen
sniper come in
kinda dominate
on those two
uh... signal i think just has to be the choice speciality mon out way
as we'll see with that ends up
looking like for timeless X missing. Assuming we haven't heard anything about a sub yet,
we can assume that the rosters will remain the same in that regard. But it's just going to be
more of a poke now. The emphasis goes back to those DPS that kind of struggled to get cooked in
there. The extra movie on ink with the exception of that very first fight. Other than one or two
fights, it really felt like that impact that we were talking about pregame we needed to see
from shell from winter
neither of them really were able to bring that punch uh... on some of us that
this is a big opportunity now
uh... for these two to really make their mark
but actually we don't back into the conversation here in this series of
white falling to that dreaded
oh two whole that no team has been able to get past
uh... so far during this tournament and
i was if you're just joining us now a make sure you got everything
Connected for your drops they go through today. They are the same drops from yesterday
But I think we barely went long enough yesterday to get all the drops
So if you missed any of it make sure you stay with us here to get everything all the cool stuff
But no, this is going to be one that I really need to see winter in Shilpa
Like somehow some way this three-overwatch curse has to get broke. I
Don't know if this is the series. We'll see it
But I think if it is going to happen, it's going to be winter and shoulder for us and we did just get confirmation that sniper is being something after all so I almost definitely will be running Sigma to some degree which seems to be the understanding of both of these teams so far.
But yeah, I think it's very heavy on this poke map, having Freya back into the mix.
That needs to be the catalyst for Shull in particular.
To start cooking, get some more, and just damage in general is going to be the big piece.
Yari for Paulette as well, really leaning in to this ranged composition.
And Paulette loves playing this hero.
She has been on it for quite some time, across a few different circuits, so not
total shock to see her teasing it early here for jubiluvio and as the attack starts now
fourth silo sex missing in shocker we were trying to talk about it earlier whips on the widowmaker
and paulette already playing with fire just a little bit yeah playing with fate for sure
this is not a player you want to risk standing in front of at all a little far up
silo sex missing you've already been able to move you have sniper on this eye ground
Piece is holding down the opposite angle.
Uh, Wist also willn't be swapping over onto the Freya to match that.
Shull kind of important with the poke and how, where this panel of his position.
They're not really gonna get the sight lines that you need to find all of that success there.
Time was like missing, they just bodied their way onto that forward space with the pressure of the window.
Yeah, getting themselves already towards that show.
Gwinter with some help from Fred is able to finally take out Peace.
A pretty decent post, but now we'll have to be put on the brakes just a little bit.
What a shot that was from Shoal as well.
And this is what we needed to see.
Everybody from X for the Own starting to click a little bit here on Junker Town,
but it's going to be holding this angle in particular.
I want to kind of bottleneck everybody from timeless X missing into this show point and it's basically shooting fish in a barrel for shell
Who's already 20 away from that bullshot?
But I gotta say timeless X missing have a good idea of how to break out of this then why going on to this rig
I mean does help in win a frontline battle unless you just get hit by a bike from ten yards away
That's a bit of a problem. If your name is
Time or excuse me sniper there, but having that break. It's not only support piece
Just with the armor packs and taking some of these side lanes away from Shoal
But if you can get up close and personal with Santi with winter potentially you have the chance to boy the backwards
Yeah, it's a trade of you have that extra armor packs. You're helping your tank out a little bit more
But it's also Paulette again pumping in the skirmish and kind of just leave that pylon in the back line to heal
And now already fluxes out from sniper
I'll catch straight on to winter and
That's all you really need two for one now favoring timeless X missing and you never really got that full shot out of shul either
So when she gets back to the flight
Yeah, that's something you can work with I have a feeling timeless X missing aren't gonna pull their punches and wait kindly
Practical you know to take the flight that they want blade is out slices on to two
But a great captain some plus bolder combo great piece and a half
They're back to the spawn rooms the payload still has to be contested shul's return is so helpful to the team
But this is the benefit that the brig brings to now down for Nenwai after a great rally
Stunned up pave the path through to this point and next will be on the really don't want to give it off
But in the process of doing that I lose so much resources and the points along with it
So oh so many resources used there from jibbluvio and in a losing fights and I don't believe it
Obviously had offered trying to contest that they had a lot of people there still
But as soon as the drop happened it was go time for title sex missing and just kind of fell apart from their peace now
On the vent data as soon as the rematch of swap comes in from santi
He was already getting a face full of sword and forcing a little bit more of a passive angle a piece also has to learn their limits
It is the same story right from last time santi
the primary focus for this timeless x-missing team. She can't play this aggressive
I'm gonna go in and murder your backline style that she's used to so
Ex-Tibetion have forced the play a lot more passive than they want timeless x-missing still in the old advantage
Never gravited once out from sniper lands on the two will set up the kill on to shoul at a minimum
All it does is results in a trade.
Actually, they don't know...
They don't have any feet in this fight.
Not all.
The payload has now stopped moving once, and Sandi is stuck in the corner.
Yeah, he does have three members here, particularly young.
Stuck in this health pack room, eventually used the rush just to punch on out.
But at that point, Tamas likes to say,
well, those who can get out, it do.
But that will not be either DPS and a little bit of a cool down.
Now, as Tamas like missing, will have to bring in the reset, but both supports still stuck here, clenches out, and the TP eventually from Zeiss will save the Kierdekal for now.
So, stopping the bleeding for JBLIVIO, it still has the Bola shot, will have the annihilation and the Spree soon from Winter.
So, as long as they can stretch it out a little bit more, still giving themselves a decent opportunity, but again, it's a lot of answers to...
I love ultimates to answer from Tylas.
Oh!
the rest two and a half minutes heading into third point.
So much time still, but we know how long this part of the map
can take. One of the most brutal sections of a map in the game
for the offense to push on through. That's something that
you will be able to have to lean into for the rest of this
one. And yes, you have that captive sub here from Paul. Let's
try and break it up. Last time it was on the piece to deny
a lot of that dragon blade, but this time should just be on to the back line, trying to force
out that clench.
It's just the captive sun, so little unloved of peace.
That is how much of a problem peace is.
You get the whole dang sun, just dropped on your head, and I think that was warranted.
You can't let that guy have more space than they've been allowed to, and it makes sure
you can have a close hold right through the eye.
Yeah, now this close hold will start up.
as Pauli can just have that pilot by her side.
That can allow Envy to have a little bit more freedom
to heal up everybody else by this choke point.
So not time of sex and missing.
This is kind of the downside of that Sigma.
Sometimes it's a little bit of a struggle
to push through some of these awkward shows.
Especially with the Ramatra into the Sigma here.
The Sniper was allowed through
and it was walking around the left side.
And that gives them a great angle, honestly,
It's just on an island and this is a common occurrence we're seeing is used to getting
one with playing these far off angles, but the rest of the team is getting poked out
by wisdom peace so much that no one is there to support or timeless X missing, no exactly
what their objectives are as a team and make it work every time.
Yeah, just beautiful execution there for timeless X missing and look at how many shiny bugs
they got Molly. Everything and everything you could ever want. Is that a foreshelv? The
desperation widow swap here just to find an early pick off Paulette also goes over to the
Ana.
Okay, a couple of emergencies swapped to Exhibition Blvd. The flux doesn't get a whole lot done
and meet Suzu on par. But the miracle shul widow maker is already paying off the dividends.
Peace has to find an answer. Now to stop this aggression from moving forwards further
And again, Zanzi fought on her own, even if the annihilation extra health will not be enough.
Timeless X missing, roll on through with 19 seconds to spare.
Setting the tone once again in this map, and it just feels like nothing can truly go wrong here for Timeless X missing, unless DeBluvion have a great ult combination to match against it, take it a little bit of a luck here.
And you look at the kills, not like it's that one-sided.
Obviously, Sniper's done a great job as soon as they've been subbed in 13, 2, and 3.
Kind of leading the way for everyone else to push on through,
but it just feels like even in these very close fights that there's trades back and forth,
it has been timeless that ends up on top a lot of the time.
And we can be in a very different situation, even a few of those fights went over to Exo.
but now, because that's what they're going to be able to have an attack of their own and for timeless X missing,
just going to stick with what's been working.
Like am I putting too much stock in this menwai break?
Like I genuinely feel like that is the piece that is helping get timeless X missing over the edge
on some of these fights because of how much a navel's piece can shut down Sandi and support Sniper at the same time.
Like that hero, especially in the hands of menwai, does way too much for this team
And you know, I think that's going to continue to be a challenge even if santi goes over to this hazard
Where you have more mobility or not as much of a sitting duck as you were
How can you break through to actually do damage against the core especially the whiffs?
I was nothing quite a spot
Winter seems to know better. I won't be peaking the angle. Oh
My god, but and the almost didn't
a little bit of a close call there for one of the Scroogey's over to Booby-Od
but because of that one shot, Whis will just have to retreat on out, but Booby-Od
has to make a pretty sizable swap, Paulette onto the jetpack cat and he will
be some more cat bastion going on, so he's trying to create a few more angles
it may open up some space as well for Windsor to capitalize on.
Whoa!
Yee!
close to peace. I don't think it should be working on this map at least as well as it should but
in peace is just one of the few players that I think is found such a home on Vendetta even after
some of those nerfs and there's the shot too with taking out Envy. Just halt the push entirely
for extra Vio. Yeah just back to the drawing board here for Joveon Vio and Envy on the
out of now a winter matching the widowmaker of whisp and oh just a nice
little strafe there from envy I have to save her life from the unknown widow
shop but too bad show cannot say the same I think there's a few heroes that
Cashion can get countered by on specific maps and widowmaker is one of them
I think something's got to change here or extra will be on it's these single
picks that whisp is finding after getting absolutely beaten up on the
The attack before is out here for revenge.
It's found the one that has won the fight every single time so far.
Even if the shots aren't landing right now.
Yeah, just gotta strike the fear.
I and everybody right now is saying to even take the shot.
Cap Ashton now will go over.
Top is trying to find a whisk, but instead, this kind of gets ushered out and instead
is Nenwine's issue.
Yeah, Nenwine's like, I don't like that, and Sucker Inc. recognize the danger.
But their back line was in, like I gotta keep everyone else back, use the flux more as a deterrent than anything.
That's a very early matter.
Onto Winter, who is on her third hero of the round now, being Genji, and let's get all that much out of it.
It's the returning flux that would matter, but the Suzu and the Aire of Aziz,
but so much more time for Sniper that the folks fired to go there, and it wasn't onto Wisps,
it wasn't onto Peace in the back line.
Eventually, we'll end up falling.
Actually, they own the pole of the pieces, this back together.
But isn't fast enough to stop another contest?
There should be another contest coming through, especially if we hit that shot,
but instead he'll just kind of dip on out for the moments.
The catnap would be a little bit risky here from Paulette,
but it is definitely possible, but there will be a rally
to kind of build up a lot of this extra armor and health for this re-contest.
Yeah, and just being on the payload almost is a pseudo second take in a way
Well, then why will they needing to take this a shield bash on the Santy to cancel the cracks sends her six feet under
The time was like smithing great cold from there only the two alts really needed. I stopped the push as well. Then why okay?
We know you're doing a lot that that wasn't necessary
doing a little dance well the catnap was very late from Paulette I said I
wonder if there was like oh are you trying to catnap at the end no that's
that's not happening it is we the hazards walk out for safety just trying to
fully commit to the dive is there a tailoring sent in here from the show
but Mortis uses a little bit of scouting to set up the rest of this fight and
And then why is it in there?
Look how far up she is flying right now.
She does not care.
No, not at all.
It's the valley that Brick has.
She can sing landedly, just hold down that room.
You're not going to send winter in there, because you're relying on this manna blade
right now.
That is all the obnoxious that they only have.
Blade comes out of the sheath, slices then why in two, sounds like the end of
the season.
Getting sliced, there's peace.
Bucklet head and shoulder, put it in half and put down.
this final fight it looks like it's
we only had a chance they're banking
on the natively like peace comes up
and said no I am no one with the better
sword time like sex missing gonna move
up to match point the gamble here on the
Junkertown or they will the continue
bringing it back against cat cafe and
the qualifiers does not reap the same
rewards against timeless acts missing
you kind of said of a dead not as much
better as she used to be but that is
absolute filth from the vendetta snipes the cashton out of the air plus the
nanoed genji and a fight that you could argue could have went their way and he
should have went their way is immediately flipped by one all from peace and
now brings their team up to two zero so now I'm really scared that we do end up
hitting like a new junk city and we don't ban vendetta and peace just does
that. And this is what happens if you remember in our Seating Cold Fire tournament that
peace again showed up late to the match because they had a match for the face at Master's Files
at the time. They came in late, locked in the vendetta, and brought back the ultimate reverse
sweep that we saw at that point in time. And clearly is something that they are still
very comfortable with despite having that tracer bound out. And he did more so than
a game g another piece signature that we would honestly expect to see more likely on that map and
And there's I think there's so many things that we can say nicely about timeless x missing
at this point the amount of times we've seen them play but
For extra of your own I think that would hurt. It was kind of their
oddball map pick that you're like, okay, it seems I haven't really been practicing this one as much
I will try to catch them off guard with that but just to have the vendetta and the men why brigg shut that down
That's it's not a feel good going into meeting or verse sweet
No, it's definitely a little bit of a rough
Awakening there for Geblivion is definitely a map. They felt pretty comfortable on
And it's not even like you was a close loss to where you're still feeling pretty good about your chances start turning
Surround that was a beat down from timeless X missing and
Obviously push flashpoint and hybrids still on the the map pool here to choose from but
Like I said, I wonder if we just go to a flashpoint.
Again, it's kind of what we're seeing,
at least the most potential for these maps
to swing the other way.
But then you either have to ban,
if you want to ban the demon yourselves now
in this map three, you could,
but you could also get rid of that vendetta
that just gave you so many issues,
even though now that tracer ban
that you tried to shut down peace with during map two
has now returned.
And I think that's also just a hard part
with the roster that actually anyone has
not having a dedicated flex DPS player. Both Winter and Shoal are known for their hit scan pieces.
Winter is the one taking the more flexible alternative. But it's really just been with the
Sheon and with the Tracer for the most part. I gave the Genji a shot there. I just didn't have
the chance to pop off in the way that was needed. And it's difficult. Like to go against
arguably the best flex DPS that we have in calling all heroes and not playing that main
role as well. That is a task that I don't think anybody would be able to accomplish. So I finding
another alternative, targeting that ban at peace, and these are things that actually move you on
absolutely need to be taken into consideration. And it's weird because we've pretty much had already
we had that one big ban on the Tracer. So okay, peace is gonna get shut down a little bit.
This is what we see Sheldon Winter shine. And pieces are almost doing different character.
You know like it's just and what else can you do at that point?
It is going to be flashpoint for our third and potentially final map of this series to decide who is going to make it
To that upper bracket final guarantee themselves a top three finish here
And the calling on here is championships and it is going to be new junk ship new new junk city not too much of a shock
I don't think we've seen
Suravasa or atlas basically at all
ah during this tournament so
Again already it'd be guaranteed five grand minimum for the team if time was like missing is able to win this map
And this is a team that's expecting to go all the way to the finals
I mean if that doesn't happen something has gone seriously wrong
They seem to be a leg above most of the other competition so far and they prove it again with peace and kidding
Their second targeted band the vendetta absolutely had to go and that was a no-brainer when you are picking this map
Demon is back in, Tracer is back in, and is likely going to be the lock for East End.
Probably Winter.
And we have gotten confirmation it is going to be Saw Hill coming back in for Sniper,
so screaming that we are getting a return of that Demon Mere.
But Sniper, you know, did their job.
That's kind of where they have to look at.
Got their win on Junkertown and now can hand over the mantle back to Saw Hill
to finish off this series for Timeless.
We're still awaiting the ban actually,
from Timeless X, I'm just curious.
Where are they exactly want to force it out?
They could even do, like Paulette,
playing a lot of that Alaric,
or I don't think it's that big of an issue.
But so far, so maybe you consider some potential counters
to the demon of Saw Hill
and just reinforce that a little bit more.
Or you could be silly,
And you could ban something like Kiriko
Or the cat and that is also a good one
And you junk city is kind of the map people pick when you don't want to play the jetpack cat as much
Cats and ceilings do not get along and you junk city is quite a few of them
They'll take it out just for safekeeping. So Kiriko Lucio
It kind of feels the most right heading into this map, which is how necessary speed is
Yes, speed is key. We saw that even a little bit yesterday to where after the Qtiko back
up and we saw Lucio Moiro because having some sort of speed is so important on a map type
like this. So probably seeing more Lucio carry during this map or we could see some Juno,
but I lean probably closer towards that Lucio and the Qtiko to go with the demon.
then at that point you would think winter is just going to not winter piece is
going to go back over to the tracer now the vendetta is banned maybe just kind
of matching it with a cash tracer could be the answer here for jubilee on and
just put extra pressure on piece but as soon as you put more eyes on piece
it kind of opens the door for everybody else here on timeless to finish off
those funds and you can kind of tell to I think at the start of junkertown
The main objective was WISP could not be allowed to play the game.
And that is fair.
Junkertown, historically, is a hitscan heavy map.
And they did that.
Winter was on top of WISP, pretty much the entirety of the map.
But then that opened another problem, which is the peace problem.
Who was doing everything but allowing peace with the end of the quarter of X to be on there.
So I think that because there are so many threats, X to be on,
You can't exactly nail down one because then the other who isn't getting as much attention is going to become more of an issue.
So I think this is again, he's on paper is the one that you need to be looking at, but Wisp still exists.
Saw Hill still exists. You have this insane backline of Zs men why you have to worry about as well.
Like what do you look at if you're extra blibby elements? I would just be sitting there petrified.
Yeah, I mean if I was in the car right now, I'd just be like so
Like what now or what is what is the change because there's just been a lot that has been going wrong
Here in this series for extra video and not a ton going right
The one thing they've actually done pretty well is the first few fights of these rounds have gone their way
But it's enough point Thomas make a few adjustments
and it's been a little bit of a sale from there for our number one seeds
we're just trying to keep them momentum hold on to it a little bit longer here
try and flip at least one of these early flash points to give yourselves a
chance near the back half of the map and again just confirmation saw hill in
sniper out and that will lead to well at least the lucio kitty and demon for
of Livione, time was still wanting to have Ninwai on the brig.
Which normally I would say that Shion is the better pick. We've been seeing a lot more of that character recently over the tracer.
But Pieces tracer is a different variable than just that one-to-one comparison.
Can't really mess with that. And I think we have to realize too that taking these tracer duels with Pieces was not going her way.
Wanted to try to switch it up. I wish to be fair. Pieces got poked out very early on.
And it's kind of just bunkering out on point, praying, like, Z's men why, please give me health.
Well, the only NZ's now, which will manage to take care of men why.
I got that ring around the rosy matchup. Winter will also get caught out.
No motorcycle for her to joyride away upon.
It's actually going to be on. Keeping up with their history, with these good starts to the fight.
And it's not over yet. They're yet to close this one out.
Peace going down though. That will be the nail to cover.
And at least Force Timeless X Missing to reset slightly saw hill though maybe it doesn't get
that exact memo, it goes in and gets punished for it immediately and now Jolivion can just
settle here at the choke point so again like you said these early starts from Jolivion working
its way out but now what is the answer here from Timeless X Missing can they start another
run?
Half of this too is denying that space. Do not let timeless X missing walk up for free.
Vegetable beyond. How'd that happen? What a bit. Just with the superior post-adagym.
Look, there's the result. Santee was said running for the ill soul. Left wide open.
On the corner, you have to find a way to continue grabbing these trains.
It's just so unfavorable, especially with Envy falling to whoops and short up the Kitsune rush.
It just goes a bit wide on the limited break. One the extra will be owned.
Definitely want back, but they're gonna get this point to final fight territory and leave it there for now
I mean, there's always plenty of opportunities to re-engage
Yeah, but losing a limit break is a little rough with that early into this hole
Especially because again, it could be one elongated fight and this flashpoint is pretty much over
Agree that the benefit right now. So it was still out of bet
for time of sex missing so it'll open up the doors with your own will have too much
of a pressure early on and almost finds then why classic you know it's great
it's very exciting if you like that kind of adrenaline rush this is a bit
Better a bit earlier, and it's set with up perfectly you get those pics. They should be on they don't get another touch
There they might sneak one in here from winter
But it's going to be rough if they do and still have a limit break and the overclock
From tiles I seem to deal with if that is the case
But I think you might want to write an attempt was made here to get there
But Winter is caught out so first flashpoint of arena going the way of timeless x missing and now the rotate on
Over it's actually going to be to the slight benefit. Oh
Jablou the own but already a little bit bottlenecked on entry
Time was like missing not giving that up for free
And you still have this little break pull out through or saw him
You can get back
the battle. Oh!
A lot.
Um, obviously like somehow it's very low near the end of that after the limit break.
I think it was on a Paulette.
Uh, I then winter just steps right on and she cleans up the fight and save the very
awkward engagement here for to blue beyond to earn another first cap on this point.
But it's actually transitioning easy converting these first caps into full round
wins that has been the struggle here for to blue beyond.
Don't really have any ultimate to start off with either.
Santee, very aggressive, on her angle, but this suits her course now, and with the limit break now online, and if there's a very small window to get this one to work, it'll be so long, it'll be so desperate to get them out of mech, and that attempt will work.
work, but at what cost? Hold the PS out of the picture at Jubilivion. You don't have the
damage. Just put anything else into the tank, let alone deal with peace. It was running a
muck in the back line. Great attempt there from Exubilivione. Just wasn't fast enough.
In a very similar situation to where it almost caps the point and now flips over
in Timeless, we'll try and just turn it all the way around after Jubilivion used
There's a lot of ultimates during that previous engagement, but we'll have the sound barrier
here from Paulette soon to come.
That can answer this Kitsune rush coming in from Zee or even the Lumenbreak that's 30
away from Saw Hill.
I will say, compared to how map 1 and 2 went, Santee has been speeding up a lot longer
in these fights, and that has definitely helped to give Jigglyphe a chance.
I think she's pulled back a bit, too.
A little bit, yeah.
Oh my god!
missing. One points away here for Talos likes missing to guarantee a spot in
that upper final guarantee a top three finish here at champs but obviously the
vision for this team much higher than that trying to get another championship
for some of these players and this is just another step in that direction and
with in the back but everybody kind of just dips.
What about survival instincts from Envy to get the Suzu off, but she wishes to chain three Suzu's
because the both bomb and the overclock are just who they're applying the mess with.
The only advantage there is it was early before the point on locks, so timeless exit missing.
Who'll get as much point from this?
Yes, still earns the cap, but it's not going to be as much time as they could have had.
Just a little bit of a showboating here.
From ease over by the point.
The benefit if you actually move your own.
No ultimates now, 4 talent sites missing answering this fight and you also have the limit break and the pulse and the overclock
But the worry I have immediately it is is ultimately going to be used
No, never mind whenever Shoal presses this overclock button
She just finds Wix locks in and removes their head every time then why not sure what you were thinking there
Shoal has an overclock, don't mess with her at all
Oh, that's a triple kill.
Poor Exibor being a soldier and player.
A quick flip.
Poor the team only needing to use that, never mind.
They ended up using limit break at some point during that as well.
I like it.
Well...
There's still two ults, though.
Yeah, it works.
You know, still, as you can see in the rush, the policy has been cleansed out a lot
from Z, but still an opportunity here for Jablevion to get some momentum or roll
in their way, needing the mini reverse sweep here on New Jersey City to start the
the actual reverse sweep in this series.
It's at the take of time though.
I think trying to force these fights really fast.
You gotta hold these resources
just to get through the objective.
Not to mention two more losing soul in the neutral.
That is the first game scenario.
We're starting these fights.
Now you have to rush into this.
Try to force some sort of mistake.
From time of sex missing,
and everyone is able to respect that Katsune rush.
No risk, really be shown for that at all.
So, he's still holding on to their own ultimate.
It goes out, Santee has the rest of the south barrier.
Back away from that, at least keep the mech.
Even at this point,
he's up getting flipped on over.
He's made it to the back line
with the help of Menwai Palette.
Silenced, the point is flipped over.
It has to be a reset now.
Right, Jabilio.
Yeah, Jabilio cannot afford to lose more members
until their Lucio gets back,
But Shull just has no escape and now the rest of this team is just going to get torn apart
Outside of the flashpoint which there will be able to escape
But that's really about it one fight remaining now four timeless X missing before they book their spot in that upper final
And they have both support ultimates to do it here Molly. It is a very tough task here for Jolivion
And as titles his fight to lose sex Jolivion one final step here
onto this junkyard objective. They're walking through the red carpet disease
has laid out for her team limit breakout since santi but it's all cushioned by
the pillily over healthy support ult perfectly placed perfectly timed
santi is dealt with with claymen names claymen adds final revenge on the
shoals that makes X missing perfectly sweep their way through X to Bolivion
and secure themselves a spot in the top three and the champions of the city
tournament still remaining perfect and is now seven three overwatches in a row
that we have gotten in champs and it feels like these top contenders are
really improving why they have that title and everything just worked out
perfectly for titles X missing obviously for extra movie on the journey is not
done they will now be sent to the lower bracket for the next round of
competition that will continue on next weekend as they will play fable in that lower bracket quarter final.
And obviously it's a nice opportunity for them to kind of get back going and get into that rhythm.
But for title sex missing, it is just another check on the journey to try and find that next championship.
Also, can we talk about completely swept flash for flashpoint completely swept control
I mean, it was flawless from
start to finish and it does
kind of amplify. I think the
gap that is there within our
top three teams. I don't know
if I could squeak team missing
X right in there just yet, but
I think that they does show
that in time of sex missing
very obvious favorites
heading into this 2026 calling
on heroes championships for a
very good reason, and it's
going to continue on that run.
break ahead of them before they have to take the stage once more and I think they
have to be very proud of the performance that they're putting up and the work that
has clearly gone in behind the scenes to keep up that synergy that they have built
over their use of competing together. Yeah and you can just tell how easy it is
everything clicking with this roster right now. We have a new hero throwing into
the mix that has easily become meta and it doesn't feel like this team has
skip to beat at all and even with you know saw healing more than sniper and during the
seeded tournament we kind of saw it the other way around it doesn't feel like it's been
like oh we're subbing somebody in just for this hero everything continues to be flawless
here for a title sex missing they will continue to be a scary team and arguably the favorite
in this tournament and for very good reason.
We're getting a chance to hear from them as well even interview coming our way from
final sex missing. We'll send it to a quick break. We'll come back to you and hear from
one of the players. Stay tuned.
I
once more in the Collin Heroes Championships.
You know, I'm feeling great. Always a pleasure. Always a good old rousing round of Collin Heroes.
Always a sight to behold. Time to be had. All that.
Obviously, compared to the city tournament we had just a few weeks ago to now,
Brand new hero gets released into the game.
How are you all feeling about D-Bond's place in the meta right now?
Obviously, we saw Hela kind of taking that mantle for now it seems.
games. Yeah, well, after a relegation, my players don't really feel like they're
wanting a break. And you saw how it's been really proficient at grinding on
demon as they would call it the Reinhardt with a sword. So I mean, we've
been letting them rock. We've been we've been seeing how it feels. You know, the
meta is very hard right now. I think I do think it's very it's not as open
as it was last time where you can kind of play whatever you want. Like how
We were talking about Diva, but then there were other things like Malgo, like, it's like it's very demon and maybe like one other hero or something, but
You know, like I always said, like I said last time, even when it's banned or not banned, we'll always come into the pitch with our
Our micro ready, macro ready, no matter what, no matter how the scrims go, no matter how anything goes, you know, we'll always show up with
What the heroes we need to play and we'll always get it to the rim on anybody, I mean, as simple as that
And for you, it seems like Vendetta is still one of those key heroes that you're pulling out.
We were kind of a little shocked to see her get brought up on Junkertown, but how is it with you right now?
Just kind of feeling it with Tracer and Vendetta. It seems like this is kind of a meta that's built for you right now.
Yeah, I am kind of happy that I can still play Venn. I think she's like the second best EPS.
I think Tracer's not busted in the way of numbers, but she just does the most for the characters that are meta right now.
Again, happy I could still put some then.
Sadly, it's not as flexible as last time, I can't play like Mei, she don't re-burn nothing, but...
You'll never see me complaining about playing a sword.
Heh.
They got struck me down before I complained about playing a sword, so...
I like the meta right now, I think it's cool.
I like playing some more Tracer as well.
No, people always say only swords, but I could do it on Tracer too.
So I'm very happy with what I get to play.
So what I'm hearing is they give Tracer a sword.
You're like, you're set.
You're going to be like the best player in the world.
I'm done.
I'm that'll be that'll be it'll be up for everyone.
I mean, that's what I like to hear.
Please.
Well, and I want to ask, guaranteed top three, you're done with competition
until the next week.
I kind of want to get an idea from you.
What team do you see being the greatest challenge for timeless
X missing this?
You've already proven to be Wallace in this bracket so far.
We have been looking a little shaky recently, I will admit, so I actually was spending this game to be a little harder.
Obviously I still think Cat... I don't know how to say the name.
The Cafe team, I think they'll probably be obviously our hardest challenge once again.
Luckily no WCS, so hopefully no need to go... no reverse sweep needed.
I think we'll see them in winners and then probably like Grands again.
Then again, I do respect the players on Job Livione. I mean they have like Spain players. They have team Mexico players. They have
Winter they have
They have some EU like face-and-masters like Shoal and I think those players could probably definitely put up a fight against that team
So I'm excited to see how it plays out
Yeah, we like to hear from the players themselves about how you know
You kind of scale the competition to be so really cool that you think that it can come down to the wire
And we'd love to see that as well because we've been through three overwatch curse going on on their broadcast so far
He's before we go ahead and let you go any final word shout outs. Did you like to make on broadcast?
Thank you for saw Hill for grinding team on when we need it because we kind of news TV was maybe not gonna play after the last split
So it's fine. Thank you saw Hill. Thank you my team for holding it together and holding it down today
We've had a pretty like rocky week of stuff, but obviously we're always gonna do get it done and
Thank you. This is like a little special shout out
I guess like thank you my parents and stuff because I you can't the cameras not on cuz I haven't shaved my facial hair
But I'm at college now, so it's been a very scary, you know stressful whatever
So I'm very happy that I get to very blessed with the opportunity to be playing the game that I love for
school and like my friends and here so thank you. I'm sure there's plenty of
people that are proud of you especially for performance you keep putting up
peace at the top level so thank you so much again for giving us a bit of
insight on the timeless X missing roster I'll go ahead and let you go and
we're looking forward to seeing you compete for the top three next weekend.
of course bye bye
it is always a fun interview when we get peace in here you never really know
what they're gonna say either it's kind of just that random factor a little bit
so no this team has been playing likes out as of late so I'm really excited to
see how they do next week and obviously top three guaranteed I do think
you know obviously cafe Fika is gonna be up there but we get to find out this
next series of it is going to be Cafe Fika or not. I think team missing x-ray looked really good
yesterday. So this would be an interesting next game. Okay last time these two teams met it went
the distance so if the three Overwatch curse will be broken Jesse it will be with our next series
but before we get there we're going to take a quick break get our teams in the lobby and
come back to you with a continuation of the Colonial Heroes Championships.
I don't know what to do
We are seven for seven on three overwatch matches for the weekend so far and if that
is ever going to break Jesse is going to be with this series right here Cafe Fica
rematch against team missing x-ray last time they met jesse six maps as we're the series went cafe
took it in the final one do we get that same level of fireworks going off in our new meta
i think there's definitely a chance um it kind of kicked off as you know the back to back uh
six mappers that we got during the qualifier tournament so kavin fika and team missing
actually both got sweeps during their quarterfinal matchups to get here to that upper semifinal
and both looked really good. I was really impressed with the way Team Missing X-ray looked
yesterday. We kind of expected Kafe Fika to look as well as they did. We talked about it pregame.
Demon is a hero that screams Hatori and we did get to see that. Well, for two of the maps
until we got the Juno tank duel yesterday during the end of that series, but it has also been a hero
that Emedy has really taken a liking to so far into this tournament. So I cannot wait to see that duel
of the tanks as arguably the two best demons we have so far. Even got to hear it from
Mickman in the interview yesterday at a team missing x-ray that Emedy, the best demon that
that they think is in this tournament currently.
And I think that's difficult to dispute.
As of now, this will be the first real test
because I put a Tori at the top of like overall tanking
that we have going on.
I'm extremely excited to see those two face off.
We're gonna take a peek though
at the full roster of Cafe, or excuse me,
Team Missing X-Ray to start us off.
I'm so used to going like left to right.
That one's on me.
I think that, you know, we look at this team,
we'll determine whether Axe is starting or not.
second here that it's a lot of players who have been around this scene they've
always hovered around like top four top three and haven't quite had that
opportunity to make it much higher I think this is the chance with how good
they have looked in both the seating tournament and how they performed
yesterday between Amity and Mickman in particular this is their chance to pull
off some of these serious upsets and get as far as they can in these
championships and even take the crown arguably yeah they are the dark horse
This event right is really been impressive to see how this roster is kind of pivoted to this demon meta that we are now in
Not a kind of a mic man have been a great DPS duo for several years now
It feels like in the calling our heroes scene and I'm really excited to see how this roster kind of
Goes about this series, especially like Cameron and crumb. I think feel like they're very underrated
Especially crumb. I was really impressed with some of the stuff. She was able to do yesterday
So I'm really excited to see this roster performing against a cafe Fika team that is
Incredibly hungry to make it back to that grand final
And all the players to that we got to see for team missing actually fit six last year
This on the other hand
This is the top three roster for the most part me to exception being the DPS duo of ivory and missing
We found a way to slot in this team super easily. We already touched on Hitori being
with the best tank player in the entire tournament.
But the support that Misson has been able to provide
in a lot of these more forward heavy pushes
that Hitori likes to take on these ground tanks,
I think it's the best synergy that we have
between a DPS and a tank.
Yeah, we got to see that yesterday.
It was on point, some of these engages
that we saw from Cafe Fika,
and that is going to need to continue to be the case.
If they want to make that grand finally earn that, you know, potential for an upset the opportunity to take down
Timeless X missing
But obviously we get to see here as control
Do we get to break the Nepal curse once again Molly or is it just kind of one curse at a time?
I think I think I picked Nepal yesterday and it will be indeed in the case of once more
10 plus X missing, they're my favorite team now just because they picked Samoa once and
they got 480.
You know what's okay, the pause is a cool map too, I think it's just the most standard
from what we see out of our control maps is the ones that are in the pool.
Ashenban will be the first 4 cafe Fika, no cash in on the board, I think they want
to make sure that they can have Hattori missing, do whatever the heck they want
and without the fury of an AC 130 raining overhead.
Yeah, and even the Moga is taken away
So T missing actually they want to lean into this strength of the demon from amity that they've kind of found over this last week
Lean into that a little bit more Hattori is obviously show that she can play both
In the past during the seating tournament when it was more of that Moga meta that we saw it was in instead of amity
So I think it's gonna
Reinforce it or is accident. I know something we had them in the graphic
But sometimes you've been baited by that as teams kind of like to change it up a little bit
So we'll get to see here in a moment which one that actually is
Is our wonderful production crews looking at that right now?
We'll check. Yeah, you know, I thought about it because I'm like wait
Why would the Melkavan being a less access in
That is a team missing x-ray then instead
Apologies, it will for sure be amity. Whoa. We got some crazy stuff going on
We don't have it. We don't have what in the world. Okay, mickman
Is on tank today and amity is on DPS now amity DPS
I can get behind that in her collegiate time on barcliffe University ended up playing that
Like things like the vendetta like the tracer pretty thorn will
Now, Mikman though, not a no take-flayer.
And in a match, I think as important as this one,
I'm baffled as to why this change would be in place.
I have a lot of questions.
And like, if you guys could see CasterCams
when we're kind of talking about this, I, I don't know.
I'm very confused on the game playing here
because Minkeman honestly shined a lot yesterday in that series.
Yeah, just a lot of questions.
And even our talent is like, yeah, shrugs.
We don't know what's happening here.
So we'll get to see you here in a moment.
Kind of the path missing X-ray would like to go
into this series as we start on to Paul.
Oh, they just started in the wrong spot.
Okay, that makes a lot more sense.
Oh, too.
I was about to be like, what in the world are we gonna get?
I was like, are we about to see some wrecking ball?
Like, what were we gonna see if that was the case?
We know it is gonna be Amity on tank.
Nickman will return back over to the tracer.
Okay, so I have relief here.
Especially with Team Missing,
actually saying how confident they were to win this match.
With how good Amity has been.
Don't think or off that.
We are on normal clumps.
Nicknit is on the tracer though, instead of the Xiong.
Yeah, the tracer is instead of the Xiong for the time being.
But also those Cassities...
I mean, the Cassities just have Ivory.
It has a lot of work to do.
I'm considering the tracer is going to be on them pretty consistently.
It is Pefe Fika, who take control of this point.
First, a light touch from the enemy.
Just a little bit too far gone.
And now everybody is just trying to get those cooldowns back.
And they're playing to get Nato Kato on the poke damage.
Especially on the Victoria, it oversteps like into the two next zip codes, I don't even know where she was going.
Look how far back Cafe Fika has been forced to play.
I'll be about 19% there.
See you next time, X-Ray. We'll take the point and a couple of staggers with it.
Yeah, Juno just completely isolated by the point. Nobody in Swiftstep range.
And it is going to be a very quick flip here before missing X-Ray. No changes for Cafe Fika.
as actually as the spray up from Nato Kato giving in that actually a little bit of range damage
getting Kavifika some trouble almost as the bullish out already up
and you're gonna kind of need that like early from Nato Kato even if it just forces out a suzu
you're happy about it but that clock is certainly ticking they're losing nick then
they're not be flying too close the likes of ivory actually when they're picking up the cast
Yeah, that fight kinda just falls apart there. 14 missing x-ray and it will...
Well, let's see. Yeah, Natacado finds an exit on the DUNO, so just Cinnabar heals at the moment for Cafe Fika.
may force a very early cat noon just to try and salvage this fight a little bit
as Mickman remains in a flank position, the triumph of pressure on Ivory but out
one shot is gonna deny that for a little bit.
I think it just summarizes what it's like to play Tracer and Cassidy sometimes.
With the cat noon from Ivory, more than just zoned out the consumer rush,
nobody was home. I think it was like a bait from Femus the extra by the look of it.
This one, not so much. Ivory dunked off the map.
Cafe Fika. I don't really care about missing a hit skin. So many resources put towards the backline is kind of ran through the tank and ever let along with it.
We actually, look for cent. That's all that will be gained. Just Cafe Fika will regain the lead.
Yeah, Cafe Fika won't complain about that trade any day. I don't think I ever even would.
Even if it is maybe a little bit frustrating, still four ults here for Cafe Fika.
having that continue Russian vandals should win this fight outright, but let's see what missing actually can answer with
Well, the answer is just getting an opening pick
Yeah, didn't even allow that I could say they rushed to be popped from Juno a late stagger as well
onto Ivory in a fight that kinda looked a little bit rough.
Four team missing x-ray does not end up being the case in a very nice flip over
and the lead now in the hands of team missing x-ray.
Maddox had already two-thirds of the way to her next ult.
Pretty insane pace right now here for the Freya.
of support. He would have gotten her out of that situation. I think she fell off. I don't
know. Well, actually, might have gotten her. Yeah, I think the purr is, you know, that
slight knockback and it was just enough to knock her off. A little bit unfortunate there
for Amity, but it holds on to the limit break. Yeah, they're kind of in the spot
right now. Is it Tori just skewers Nahtokato before she can maybe see approach? That's
the bullshot out of the picture for now. Ivory drops on the back of my poor old
Cameron, not much that they can do to escape and the limit break silence is any other attempt
for Team Missing X-Ray to get a fight going. Jesse, I can smell the potential for this series
Cafe Fika though, just had better ult economy. Yeah, better ult economy, catches the supports
off guard, especially the Kiritiko trying to get back into the fight, gets cut off
by the Cat Noon and it is a nice round win there for Cafe Fika. Yeah, it's pretty
even. Hitori is still leading the way, getting the better of that D-1 duel so far. But I think
it has been a few times, and maybe just getting a little bit too deep. Not having that necessary
support, purely because of the pressure that's coming in from missing on those flanks is
taking a lot of attention away from the frontline and is opening up that opportunity for the
rest of Caffe Fica to clean up the tank and clean up the fight. It is going to
be the snatch of TP off spawn once again, but now it'll just be the tracer Amir instead
of that Shee on getting thrown into the mix.
I'm a little scared now, if I'm team missing X-ray, I see Missin' in the pop-off potential
that she has on this hero, and that is horrifying, but she can manage to get cooking, especially
in her synergy with Tori.
I mean, Madokado's already down.
You see how far back team missing X-ray play?
Oh my god!
It's because of the team stuff, but Ivory is having no defense.
The hybrid is like, alright, let's just win the fight everybody. Let's go.
Uh, yeah, beautiful shot there.
And now Stinnabar can just chill out. I think he's missing.
Uh, this is a nice little scouting.
And even a pretty cool recall location if needed.
Whoa, this is a play we don't see every day. It's kinda cute.
Missing. I love to recall. I can quite get the 1v1 win in the sky there.
And if you miss the XR though, you definitely won't worry about how they are approaching this point.
The play that just occurred will sweep their way though all through on the coast side where there wasn't really as much attention
Not a lot of the Cassidy. He's more of a deterrent missing and even hit Tori
She's the next first the focus flyer who much to handle it should just be a flip-on over as the CPS throughout its
Yeah, and I think having that flash now for it not a condo
It's it is forcing missing a plate a little bit more passive
It is a little bit easier to go on those flank routes when you have a Freya on the other side
And yes those alternate shots can pack a punch
But you still don't have a flashbang that can just stun you out of existence
To worry about so definitely helping out a little bit make me
Trying to see if they can find anything but so far all they find is a silver bullet
Ivory is the alpha threat
Yeah
Trying to get that extra over health with the limit break to extend that fight out a little bit longer and instead he still dies pretty quickly there.
Should be wanting that one back, but still had basically the rest of her teammates to work with going into this next fight.
The downside is, Kavifika, in a very similar position, just not having that cat in the back of him quite yet, but again, these silver bullets from Ivory are just disgusting.
Ah! And the post bomb!
I've been thrown in the small room from missing.
Great Suzu though, out of Cameron.
Denies the catnap, but that wasn't really the main target there.
It was the lemon break, and I break.
Still in the building down.
Anyway, Zax is striking.
War Team is an x-ray in the small room,
and the DMACC is certainly out.
So there are picks going their way,
but you need Nickman to find some sort of pick to secure the fight,
and actually go ahead and do it.
Even though Hitori actually gets one out of mech cinnabar as well, isn't able to escape because of the Purr, but it's a messy enough fight where Kafe Fika can play this relatively quickly as Hitori returns, but as I say that, Ivory gets down to feel how it is on the other end of one of those nicely placed silver bullet shots, and then of course a full reset here for Kafe Fika as it'll be another tickly now flipping back over.
Yes, right and all of the kids could soon a rush here as the cat knew this is not a panel
Oh
Cafe pica
Well themselves like golden ticket back into this point when they absolutely should not have found feet in it in the first place
You may as an x-ray seem to have made the call. We're going to lose this fight
Let's just try to fully regroup and get back fast
Yeah at least the upside there is you don't use a ton you still have that
Katsune rush to get you into this fight but still a little bit rough ivory taking
full advantage of the cat and the flash is very well placed.
We gotta be careful.
Floater to peek.
Susan is forced.
The amity is out of the mech before she can use the limit break.
Somebody has to find a way to deploy and it should be Mechman or Crumb but the health bars are so low ivory.
does not miss this insane performance from the it scan player of cafe Fika it
seems the cats will find their way through this point missing spite the
flip good care less last couple of kills cleaned up and how close it was cafe
Fika start this series with the upper hand a very close map here to start us
off in this series but it is cafe Fika able to lock it down and win that map
one here of this series and now again we get to see some of these adjustments that
will be made from missing x-ray but it's not like the last series to our man there
was like a laundry list of things we were hoping to see in improvements in
map 2 this has been a very close series so far that wasn't boob off on amity
okay okay maybe not the intended version of that per they blurred me up a
little bit with how good that was. But it's a pretty winnable matchup still here for missing X-ray.
Absolutely. That was an incredibly close game to Paul despite it being 2-0 and X-Factor's ivory.
That's all I have to say. And Mickman was the star of the show for Team Missing X-ray,
for the majority of their series so far in this tournament. Could not play the game.
Tagged with Silver Bullet, every single corner that they tried to turn. And not to mention
the use of Cinnabar just plopping Ivory down in places, catching everybody off-guard,
and this is the kind of proactive play that Cafe Fika, I think that they've kind of established
their game plan around. They're not playing honest overwatch, they are in there, they are
trying to jump scare you in certain ways with this Jetpack capacity duo, and I don't think it
could be going much better than it is right now. It is awesome to see Ivory popping off
like that again. We obviously saw that a little bit in the past with prior teams
that they have been on especially the exosakura roster and they were a monster
during that run but I think this is probably the best team that we've seen
Ivy play around for our calling on heroes circuit and it's been great to
see kind of those rewards start to pop up. The Cassidy is going to be an
issue here if it's not banned out at some point but I don't know if it's
impressive enough to where it is a must-band for this map to depending on
where I'm missing x-ray we'd like to take us say cast is pretty map dependent
just because of the fall-off range that you have flashpoint though is one that
Cassidy absolutely can work on so perhaps some concern going over there
it's gonna be a new drug city isn't it probably it's like the only flashpoint
that exists the day that we get atlas all like I will get celebratory ice
Like that is how happy I will be to have an atlas match flash point pigs
But does not seem like teams are centered on that
There is our new jug city as to be expected still for all heavy
Perhaps some weird support bands coming in place. I think we tend to see those more altered on this path than others
And also that like we said in the last series the jetpack cat not as great
On this map so that could just be we don't want to ban the cat quite yet
If you're musing extra, but also want to take that piece away or at least make it a little less effective
The four cinnabar in with the spine especially with
The Kira co-band that pops out it did work yesterday when it happened. I'm not saying more again
I'm not but it works when he said it. Yeah, I'm aware of me
Yeah, I but I don't I
Think it was that was more possible because he was fable on the other side and they are like
no one for pulling out the Moira here and there. I see us probably just going to
the Brigh Juneau land at this point. That's not as fun! I'm just I'm just
saying. If we get Moira back to back days, that'd be nuts. We're on something.
We're on something for real. Like imagine how much Moira would be played if Kirika
like didn't exist. I feel like it would be a much more common. It would be a lot
high of a pick for it yeah absolutely so we'll see I don't know what cat cafe really do that is
that a Juno pick okay no one for being such a mechanically skilled player one register doesn't
fit that regard uh we'll be in malga van on top of that from cafe Fika uh so we will see a malga
potentially in any other part of our series but will not be on this map so some more demon to
to be played, plus some weird support line.
But again, the main focus is the DPS, Jesse.
Cassie made it through the bands.
Tracer is up, she on is up.
A lot of these big things that we've
seen from both Big Men, Navocato, and Ivory.
Yeah, a lot of these big DPS heroes
are still on the market here.
Granted, if it is going to be a little bit less
jetpack catch, just because of the map that we are on,
Cassie's viability definitely goes down a little bit.
Instead of a dead eye having a lot of dynamics to it with that assist of the jetpack cat
You're pretty stagnant
And you're kind of just using more to create space like the olden days
But it's still a pretty nice answer for
Sheehan's for tracers in your back line and trying to deal with that
So I'm actually kind of curious. I have a feeling we'll probably step away
From the Cassidy during this map and probably go over to a sewage or a Freya
for that main hitscan roll, but it does open up the door for a lot of opportunities.
I feel like a Sojourn is more likely. Maybe some cast.
And Freya is not bad on this point, but you have to be pretty up close and personal
compared to some of the other maps. And Freya doesn't get as much value from that
just because you don't fall off on your bolts, and you do better when you're in open areas.
areas so the majority of the New York City architecture does not lean towards
that so it just seems to be a more likely selection there and I don't think
it's like Ivory's best hero just like in terms of pop-off we've actually known
them from the last time we had some have like a monumental game like this it
was more for the likes of Fran oh we won't see this day oh my god I kind of
I forgot about this, they banned the Kiriko through Amity on the Junker Queen.
And it's more Moira.
More Amira?
And it's...
It is Cinnabar Moira.
What?
I am sat.
How do you...
What?
No speed though.
That... oh yeah.
That could be, I think to have it be like, we know the Junker Queen is a possibility here for Amity,
so it's a double sided sword.
Yes, you have that rampage
Obviously doesn't have the cleansed out to deal with it
But now if emity gets antsy during one of his engages it's gonna be a rough
This is Juno's best hero as well and look up far back that she has to play for this point in Nickman
She was taking some notes on it
Kind of holding the hands with Amity and didn't have the health bar was sustained against the story just swung a sword around in a
Swung room and yeah, how many to follow shortly after will be that biomed to that signifies her end
I don't think team missing x-ray will give up on the strat quite yet though.
I think amity swapping.
Really?
I don't think amity?
Oh, maybe not.
I believe.
Yes!
But that Juno is playing so far back.
Like, she doesn't want anything to do with anybody from this EX-ray.
This doesn't even want to be able to smell amity coming like minimum 10 feet away.
You can see already Juno just running for the hills as the engage starts.
I think you have to worry about Nick and she are not a kind of tracer as well.
By the way, they just go out on the amity, and it doesn't matter how much it would instead
be the sleep plus the elimination on the not a kind.
I mean, this Ana is such a threat.
She knows she's a threat and will play safe because of it.
Something I thought we would never see from this team, team is an extra just so focused
on Juno that she's killing everything.
Yeah, just tearing everybody apart.
Amity now off of the Jugger Queen took two fights onto the Doomfist.
Well, that's a way to get to the Juno.
Alright, get to Juno.
Yes.
We're back to the Juno.
We had too many Juno shenanigans yesterday, man.
It still got me messed up.
Yeah, I think it's more to get the touch on the point there, which Amity does
accomplish.
You don't have Nick in, and she is anteed again.
So Juno, it seems to be an issue on the Ana.
No ult seeming to be expended from Cafe Fika.
Because we went from having a very close map one to this is Cafe Fika all the way.
With no ultimates used as well.
Molly, like that is, that's rough.
All five ultimates queues, next fight, zero still built for X-Rang.
And it is still Amity sticking out to this Doomfist for the time being and already got
slept again.
Where is Cinnabar playing?
Well, now in spot.
That deserved.
I don't want to say deserved, but at some point it was going to get punished.
That was, yeah, no, not practical.
Like, I get that you kind of molly walk cap in Fika on point one.
It does not mean they are a team to, uh, to doubt at all.
So the team is next right, going in. That is a sleep anti-combo.
On to Nickman, there's the nano through towards Hitori.
They should have crumbed. We'll not be allowed to leave the salt roof.
Oh my god.
But still not just the break Nickman's ankles.
ankles you're not a cotton with a tracer kabob and run away with the fight. Yeah they got you know
jessie but how many lights did that cost? Almost everybody uh and kappa feka capped during the
entirety of that chaos so it is going to be a pretty nice fight win there for kappa fekas uh
the moira shenanigans continue here on this point crumb at least has a somber to answer
Something here from cafe Fika and I really have this denny just to kind of fend off everybody
With the fear of getting punched out
Juno like that can't happen. You know barrier. You needed that do good
Obviously survived through this flight. Oh my god
You know what I think that one's deserve. She has done so much. She's been under so much pressure
Does not care. She knows that she is better
It has the hands the handlets and it is so impressive to watch. Yes, Amity
Finally shuts them down.
But it's way too late.
Captain Pika, 93% in counting.
He missing x-ray.
Both to shuffle their way onto the objective...
They're on the health bar.
He didn't get the best attempt, though,
beat to sustain towards the point and de-necutory.
I should get the job done
if he didn't have to worry about ivory on the high ground.
So very much a threat.
By the way, the CPS threw out taking things into their own hands
and don't want to let the point slip away.
And this in somehow just finds a way to step it up.
in these clutch scenarios and it's the triple kill for her
on the back-end. Hitori is allowed to remake
which does not seem possible.
Cathy Fika, back to overtime, seems Anthony will have another touch
a very short-lived one and that's LB2O now for Cathy Fika.
One of the weirdest sets of fights I think we've ever had.
It's just Juno Wreckenshop on the honor
on a map that historically Anna doesn't do very well on.
Um, it, it's, it's what's happening in Cinnabar's just done flanking. You can see already, look, look at her, look at her at the bottom, at the screen, just on her own little flank as we head over to the next flashpoint.
Team missing x-ray, if you do have at least one positive here, has a spree in Hank, he can get ushered around for the setup. It has full point control.
Yeah, it's straight on top of the head of the other way, but not before the anti-hits.
It's get the one for one, but it is more valuable to get Juno when it is to lose out on Nickman just because of lack of sustain.
Cinebar, attempted to clutch, it was a good try, Natto-Kato already had the real shot with the name on it.
Cafe Fika, they're gonna do their darnedest to win this fight. They've already committed so much, like what's more?
I don't know what it's doing.
Fika has no right to win that fight.
Like, it's just absolutely zero right.
Uh, Hattori, I gotta look back.
look back maybe 20 health before that NATO comes in from Juno after they get
solo-altered in the beginning of that fight from the Shia. So that is just chaos
here but kind of Fika flips it over. Mickman is matching the Tracer now of
Misson who is looking for that pulse but I think barely missed the timing or
or phone cameron
yeah cameron stuck between a flanking syna-bar and a tracer with a bomb
neither... well hey...
neither good
cameron just cannot do the journal effect
this is not something team missing x-ray have practice
i think it's starting to show
they have one more light to try to bring this map back
where is this
i was looking for chrome
and she
apparently gets out for now
it has the catnap
wants to try it.
It don't. 13 HP not happening. Look out, Koli's star!
Oh my god!
It's getting in the glimpse of the cat. Some ankle breakage here on the cliff. It'll
manage to live. The problem is Jesse, it's at 99% of the point. You have to find a way
to get through. Dammit still has not built up a nano boost. Juno has now lacked them
in that regard. It's onto Sinabar, by the way, who's truly thickening on the objective.
It's only Amity really has the potential to clutch this up.
Nodokado has also returned from some classic electric cowboy action, but this is everything.
A team missing X-ray throwing into this flesh.
Okay.
It is going to be difficult to turn around.
Dory's still in that care.
I'm lurking into the back line.
The stagger will eventually come through.
And so we're the group.
We're missing X-ray courtesy of Nodokado.
Yeah, she just absolutely pops off during that fight to salvage it, but...
How many more hero plays can you drag out here? As Juno swaps over to the Jetpack Cat, the Anuf shenanigans are complete, at least for now.
I'll just try to get another quick fight here from Cafe Fika.
Yeah, and you gotta you gotta initiate fast. I think you need to draw out some of these resources
With the cat noon versus a cat noon that was there, but it will not be fucked set and drawn
Bum I agree and Juno now that should just go ahead and do it for the battle
I mean sit up are still gonna commit to this because I have any overextended you had the opportunity there
There's no way to see that keep missing actually had the advantage in but it's working sit up are so
through the matrix somehow and are going to manage to bring this to an advantage fight for
Kathy to speak of. Point flip comes through is anyone even able to touch 14 mixing x-ray.
I'm going to pack on the Doomfist. It will be the one to do it. Just keep these over
times alive but there is no real win con available. Or the C missing x-ray.
Wastler. Zatory has the mech pack. Not even going to use it because that's the confidence
level that she has. But actually like you don't want to be lost missing. Try to find
this little safer slash Cameron off from their joy ride across the point this cafe
Fika took what could have been a close series I said uh-uh this is ours we're
up to oh it just some egregious plays from cafe Fika during that map and I
think we're about to see well actually the one from not a counter that
salvaged this map to go just a little bit longer some beautiful silver
bullet shots from the electric cowboy near the end but it just feels like
every single time missing x-ray had some sort of setup for these fights it was
an immediate answer from cafe Fika and it's just what more can you do right
like there it feels like they're really struggling to find a way around it I
like to go with the jq here it goes bad on paper it works out great and then
Juno just steps up to the plate play super far away from the rest of the
And it doesn't even matter because you have a flaking Cinnabar everybody else still plays the roles perfectly
Now one map away here from kaffifika to at least getting that first opportunity of
Revenge against timeless at missing x-ray or it's timeless at missing sorry too many timeless and missings and x-rays and all
The shenanigans you almost made it through
Almost made it through the week
it is still a double E.
You know, they're the uppers.
So either way, whoever ends up
going down will end up getting
another shot.
So next map though, we know that
Juno is one of the very few
players that will say, I don't
care if all of the map, the
composition, whatever is
favored against me.
I'm going to do what I do best
and that is carry put my entire
team in my backpack on the
put my entire team in my backpack on the Ana,
tagging out is something that needs to be taking
into consideration going on ahead,
whether that is making sure a Kiriko cannot be banned
or banning the Ana outright,
especially if we go to a hybrid or a escort map
that is going to apply.
And otherwise, push still on the table.
If we wanna see that,
how do we got an atomic push maps actually
over the course of the-
I don't think I've seen any.
I think we had one Colosseo, I think?
Maybe.
I'm looking through right now.
Time of Scythe of the Missing vs. Leica played Esperanza for their final map.
Okay, that's...
Let's have a remember watching A Push map.
Either way, it has not happened a lot.
I think that's it.
So, yeah, each Esperanza, Colosseo, is the other one I remember correctly.
So we look at the...
The maps are just so interesting.
Especially for the hybrid side of things you have two reworks maps and putty so and I could walled and then the brand-new hybrid map in neon junction
So most teams have actually every team has gone to neon junction
It's gonna be one of the most picks maps. It's not names with Paul whereas escort is
Extremely poke heavy and not a ton of dive options either and even route 66
Oh one that we get one and will in fact be pushed the second one of the of the
entire tournament actually so far. So at least we're getting something new despite getting
new Nepal and New York City so far.
Yeah, last time was Esperanza during actually the first game of this tournament was finished
on Esperanza. So we'll see here. I have a feeling it's going to be that. Oh, it's
going to be Cal State. All right. I would think it on a man is still on the table.
I don't know if it's as necessary as it would have been if it was different maps
But I consider how that last map went I wouldn't blame missing x-ray if it was at least going through their heads
As a possible option
What else would you ban though?
If you don't want to play the cat maybe?
Yeah, the cat's all that's a good one. There we go. Yep. Mm-hmm. That checks out. Okay, another cat is like
Let me switch this up. We're getting frammed. 400% you're getting frammed
And I this is that's the not okato hero that she has other than may like way back in the day
It's still about has had like some crazy breakout performances on I think that is exactly what timeless
I or type off man. I did it too. There we go. Hey x-ray my bad need that on their menu right now
Is it not a kind of pop off? Oh see the door was left open
We're playing on a
Is it is it is it just over before we even start I would say it's
Jover because I've real so had a lot of pop-offs, but it's it's looking that direction. We're leaning a little bit
That is oh god. Are we about to get more cinnabar moira as well?
I think it's gonna be Katana though. I I think it's also going to be that
I think seeing the moira if I've ever seen more moira in this tournament than I think you've seen an OWCS the entire year
No, which is sad because we're still a very fun character, but obviously it hasn't been
in the meta in a very long time.
So I am curious, I have a feeling it'll probably be more of the cat on a, even though you can't
really set up those cat nudes anymore with the Cassidy band going in, we saw where the
tracers are getting sent in to the air to get an early blink on the opposing cat
or even some overclocks with the same thing.
So I wouldn't be too shocked if you saw that cat return.
So Jesse, new fear unlocked.
Max is coming in for Amity.
Max is a known Malga enjoyer.
And only Malga, really.
Love the ground takes.
Haven't seen them on Demon.
But there is no Kiriko, mind you, who cleans this.
I don't think you can play Malga.
I think you have to play Malga here.
It's a risk with what else you have to lose at this point, you know, like, it's a list.
I'm trying to think if Axe can play Wrecking Ball or not.
If Axe sounds like a ground-based specialist, I exclusively played the Mound Up and I think
the, when we did see Team Missing X-Ray have like this first big showing was in that
seeding tournament. And it was what Axe was in, especially because of the comps and the
kind of overall control that it brings to the team. And being down 0-2, having that fresh
mindset, especially from someone who is confident in kind of having this, like leading the comps,
that might just be the thing to get team missing actually back in this game.
Yeah, it is at least right now getting teased that direction here from
So we'll get to see how how's you to work Cinnabar? Hey, I respect it
But I don't say I love this here from Cinnabar. Do I think she's changing probably?
But maybe not let's see here in just a moment. Is that a domino I see?
Okay
So there doesn't be try play ultra range
Polk out axe knowing that hey like you talked about there is no cure ago and just force axe to play incredibly passive
Okay, I like this yeah, cinnabar is cinnabar is oh that yes
It was going jetpack cat and call that right now. Yeah, you're not gonna get away with those same shenanigans on
This second map. He missing actually very much ready for it
And I think the day Tori Tom and I think we haven't seen this hero much at all either
They don't want to play Malga as a team like Kappa Kika hate that character they have to pull it out
Not the most fun time. You don't have the same skill. It's question
You would on other points the axis top struggling around the shield and make that work very well
Don't worry. There's a fancy footwork going on. She'll set that up perfectly. It doesn't matter if similar died
She's gonna keep playing the moira and her team wins the fight anyways
Yeah, Cinnabar, somehow Moira who has like the fastest ult charge in the game, maybe behind Freya, is the lowest ult charge here.
Ford, Kafe, Ithika, just because two very early donations and Axe already realizes that the Mawr is not going to work.
Gern is going to get shielded off every single time they try to make that kind of push, so it'll be the Sigma which still struggles against the Domina at times.
times. Um, but Domina's not really a hero that many tanks have in their hero pool right
now.
No, and I think that's, I think it's a more surprise factor, I guess, for Hupori. I have
Accident Mirror, it probably means Acc does not have it in their hero pool, but there's
the value. I mean, we were kind of expecting to see, you know, a cannon with a double
kill, with a kill speed, and Cinebark participated in four. Like, this is absolute media. The
team missing x-ray they just can't figure out what the right adoption is.
No it's probably never a comp that they have
scrimmed against as a pause is requested here.
From team missing x-ray I presume we'll find out more here in just a moment.
Details on the pause and what our our ETA is going to be.
But this is not something you scrim against. This is not something you
practice for. It's not something that Cafe Fika has really
shown at all throughout this tournament. This is the first time I'm really seeing a domino
at all in a very long time across Overwatch eSports in general. So it's definitely a tricky situation
here for missing x-ray and it is actually a computer crash here from team missing x-ray
is the reasoning for the pause. It gives them a little bit more time to figure out the exact
way they want to proceed. It's needed. Oh, yeah. Um, oh, this is just so rough. It's
missing yesterday. I want to believe that they can kind of come back to have these.
The pop off plays that they need to. But if they're just getting stuffed in the front
line, Cinnabar is flanking with missing. That's working out somehow. And there's
not like there's not a split on the map that they have an advantage and they're more looking
for cafe Fika to step out of bounds similar to how Cinnabar did in the first flight. They
did when they had that player advantage Jesse you don't just hit a fat bio-nade and it silenced
that all together so they can't find a way in you even start formulating the same like
DPS kind of dominance that they have in their other matchups that we've seen.
Yeah, it's just, it's just kind of missing right now, and Nano is still on line here for Gino, probably to send it on to missing the Wreck Shop, but it is going to be this tick, and Ford spawns activated fairly quickly here for Kamefika.
But in the process of Tori, this kind of gets ditched on high ground.
But if we've learned anything, do you know what doesn't care about that?
Nato's on the missing, biolidate on the Cameron, and guess what?
Missing just wipes everything off the board.
But they're missing. Actually, they had ultimates, but no opportunity to use them, unless their name is Nickman,
and he felt a pulse bomb over Missing's shoulder, and it forwards forwards to Dory.
It's gonna be back shortly, and the kills are still favoring Cafe Fika way too heavily.
Yeah Ivory just chilling on point able to get another elimination here with the help.
Oh their DPS partner and a flight that looked real sketchy after a Tori died right away.
Turns into another fight with here for Cafe Fika.
90 meters and counting and if they would another fight here it feels like this map in this
series Molly is done.
Another three overwatch, eight for eight.
Feels like it's on the rise of the dominance
that is being shown right now.
Missin' is on another level.
She is dipping every single player.
She can manage to 1v1 at this point.
And you do get a trade out.
It's something that survives through.
Glory's ultimate as well.
And X finally exists on the Sigma.
They can just manage to ignore the dominance presence,
which has not gone so well for the most part.
Look how many players it takes
actually deal with her in front. This takes everybody's attention away from the
rest of the fight but eventually here team missing x-ray stabilizes four
minutes gone though and now a 90 plus meter lead that they have to try and
battle back from granted flux both DPS assaults on the horizon not a counter
blast to play safe after Juno has a nicely placed shots from across the
way. Yeah but this look at this it's a Moira Tracer versus Tracer Cat and right
now it is the Moira that was winning. Sinebar did eventually have to dip on out.
Missing still is the post bomb. That's a punch to Nickman's dome. This frontline
battle just has to be the only answer for Team Missing X-Ray. They lost it in the
back and it's only a matter of time before Cat they think of reinforcements
come in but nobody is in the cross-airs of Nahtokato. She has to
back off. It's Ivory's turn to strike with the overclock. There's not too much
Honest time
Just again these fights that missing actually have the utility to start bringing back and it just does not work out
Because Cafe Fika have the answer. Ivory goes over to the Ash.
Some changes made here now from missing X-Ray is gonna be the Demon and the Freya.
As Juno just easily sets up. WHAT IS THIS?!
destabilization for team missing x-ray
Yeah, but at this point if you're cafe fika you're content with this right you win the fight towards mid
You bring the bot back over to x-ray territory
Then you lose the fight without having to use too many agree to solve some and too many powerful
Ultimates and you can just kind of have this back and forth and you just still up the last four minutes of this map and
Booker's ticket into that upper final
only the man on you know 14 missing x-ray immediately got the axe but you
know still managed to strike first it's an even trade it two for two it's
in a bar though that just is running it's like Moira in this day and age
he's as much value as it is it created the axe from kind of just solo tanking
it in the front line even that like you just can't get any progress off of
this point everyone was still there it's too slippery for a demon to clean him up yeah the
demon is kind of has to chill by point waiting for the rest of their team to get back make
it on the other hand still has his pulse bomb will try and find it onto its right doesn't
have to worry about that cleanse that treasure players have been fearing for years ever
since Curicul got introduced but again you can see he's got my Vika being here forcing
x-ray to push. Yeah so much ground to make up for a team missing x-ray does
have the catnap and as this bot will start going by the coast that value
definitely increases a little bit, but this bullet shot really won't be too
much of a factor. Just this Panopticon, from its or it could shut down a lot of
this healing in the short term to finalize the elimination on one of these
squishies.
This will be, you have to, if you're not a Kata, and this is, or pop off here,
it has looks a bit better than swapping over to it. But this pot just has gotten
nowhere. These fights are taking so long to set up. That's gonna favor
Cafe Fika Juno wins the race to the nano and throw that out on to anybody ideally missing but
you need to need to worry just hookscroll in the small room will be a great but off the
clock as well to shut down that forwards push and a little bit extra and then you turn the
bolts that was three thrown in but into the day Cafe Fika will maintain the lead.
Yeah lead and lead will continue on it will be forward spawns that will be reengaged as well
for Cafe Fika, but like I said, maybe a little more expensive in a fight than they were hoping to have there.
As most of the team, not even going to push with the bot, just missing, trying to get that bot back near the barricade to force a different position.
From X-ray, 90 seconds remaining, missing X-ray, need to start getting some fights down and take consecutively to have a chance.
I own it on the Atari with a natural accident or face something has to happen
but the coverage from both Juno and Simba Bar
noifies anything that's what's trying to do in the first place has to get out of there
but can't manage to do it
don't know what happens in Noto Kato perhaps and it gets sucked by a grown
vaults somewhere but that's just how it ends up running out for this team
you don't have Cameron so the majority of the sustain being gone you have
to back off play closer to your spawn is Cafe Fika
From top of the last minute
Hey, yeah, just stalling this out force the answer in his emigrate spots
Nickman trying to bring this back finds the pulse bomb elimination
On to ivory and that will at least be a reset for cafe Fika
And that opens the door for missing actually to at least have some time to relax and make a game plan now
But another fight would need to hear towards mid and another one probably just after tick and another after that would be needed
So very tough situation for this team to be in, but we've seen fights like that happen before
The sleep is there and you know very over extended that point in time these supports will be punished
I do try to cinnabar. I think she went further in the back line
We're still let her live for now
But the priority has to be objective and because it wasn't you lose out on not a corner before it
With the limit break it sliced on down with the help of crumb
Now we go ahead and guarantee another flight for team missing x-ray. We're pretty conservative about the resources as well
Yeah, my big worry though is that nano from Juno
We've seen it a few times already on the missing and Hitori. There's completely changed fights
You know mission won't be a part of that start of the next fight after a nice little elimination there from camera
But now the worry is almost axe the B&T mechs early
But this is a decent start, but again, another two fights needed at a minimum for Missing X-ray.
back ivories on the objective, bulls bomb goes wide but it isn't needed.
Cafe Fika 3-0 their way to a top three finish.
We're just handing out 3-0s like it's Halloween candy right now.
Like that is an unreal finish here and it'll be Cafe Fika going up against Timeless X missing
in that upper bracket final playing for a spot in that grand final on championship Sunday.
And let me not the competition we thought this was going to end on but it's the
Domina here from Hitchhoy the real difference maker on Coliseo and
No shocker top two seeds going into champs will be the last two remaining in upper bracket
And to think the last time these two teams met it went to six mats
Jesse four rosters and everything but cafe Fika worked their magic with both the demon
They counterpicked the crazy comb that he attempted team is an x-ray try to pull out in a new junk city
We kept it running through because if it ain't broke, you don't fix it
And honestly if we have to choose an MVP just I think it's got to be Juno
For sure the impact that she had when it should not have been allowed to happen was just insane
And I think that any team that watched this matchup if you see Juno on the other side
You're on an escort map or even if you're not on an escort map that Anna van has to be in the back of your mind
They cannot be allowed to put up a carry performance like that again
It's one of the best honor performances
We've had in a very long time here in Colorado heroes and honestly in a meta that doesn't really scream honor as well
Again, we've seen a lot of Kiriko cat
But the fact that Juno for several maps is just able to carry this team
Set up a lot of these players with the bio nades with the sleeves with the nanos
It's a complete difference maker here for cafe Fika and not all is lost obviously for team missing x-ray
And they don't go to that lower bracket and they will play against Valentine in that lower bracket quarterfinal
It's honestly that is the game. I'm circling Valentine
I think hasn't played up to what we both thought was kind of going to be their standard going into this tournament
so having this whole week to
So, kind of take a lot of those notes up, try and fix up on a lot of those little mistakes.
That could be a very interesting game to make top four.
I think to the team missing XRA, I think they're a little disappointed with their own performance
today.
This is a, when we talked to them yesterday, they were so confident, I think, heading
into this game that Amity is the best team on, Mikman is on point, we have an entire
plan of things that can go our way.
We are set up the best way that we could.
But to have it end that the way that it did I think shows a little bit more that they are still a rising team
They are they have plenty of potential they have the mechanical skill to get there
But it was that extra cohesiveness
Plus just the the secret ingredient of the journal Anna
Showed the level the cafe Fika are ready to compete on as they're gonna prepare to match off against titles like missing
And that's me a great game like that upper final is going to be fantastic
And I wouldn't be shocked if that's also our grand final, you know, like if we could have a insane upper final that goes into a grand final just to decide our calling our heroes champions here in 2026 is looking to be one of those two teams.
But again, a lot can change in a week.
Now these teams have all week to kind of study up, get some body views in, but it is going to be what heck of a finish next weekend.
I know that we are looking forward to see those two teams take the stage in particular.
For now, we're going to go ahead and throw a quick break.
We have a winners interview coming right up.
Stay tuned.
I want to miss it.
We've impressively gone eight for eight on three overwatched on our first weekend of
Coal Eagle Heroes Championships.
It seems that there is a pretty solid deer break between each of our seeded teams so
far.
Yeah, it feels like we were top two teams now in that upper bracket final of, all right,
we have our top two of Cafe Fica and Tilo's Ex-Missing and then it feels like
Jablir the ONA and missing x-ray are that three and four and obviously we saw a little bit in that lower bracket earlier
But time was like missing and Kevin Fika both booked their spots in that winner bracket final
And now they'll get to fight for their spot to earn at least a top-2 finish
But obviously these two teams last time they played and went to six maps
Time was like missing the one of the craziest series in calling our heroes history
to look in and build upon that here next weekend.
And I think, again, I said this already,
but I think that match will be the one
to actually break that three overwatch curse,
Cafe Fika, and they guard in their top form.
Time was dismissing, at least according to peace,
don't feel nearly as confident as they did before.
But we clearly made it work out,
and they had their full three O's today,
as well as our lower bracket matches
that started off our Sunday,
like a Virgo and the Magic Mushies are sent home in seventh and eighth, but a little bit
of cash prize still for qualifying. I think we had teams that were able to get their first
taste of competition and players that will continue to be seeing for a long time.
Yeah, it was really nice to see like a Virgo and Magic Mushies, but yeah, they sadly bowed
out here top eight in this tournament and now we continue to shift over to the top
six and beyond next weekend, which that should be an incredible set of games. I
I think it's both lower bracket quarterfinals and the lower bracket semifinal next Saturday
and then upper final lower final Granz on a championship Sunday, but we're still not talking
about today.
Everybody will still have everything going on.
We have interview ready with the one and only Ivory as we saw popping off several times,
especially some Cassidy plays on a map one.
How are you feeling after that game and booking your spot in that upper final?
Um, I'm pretty excited. I think that, uh, the seating tournament was a bit rough for, for all of us just scheduling wise and, um, you know, uh, we had Hitori and Juno gone during Swiss and then, like, Cinnabar wasn't able to play some days.
I wasn't able to play some days. So being at full strength and actually being able to scrim together, I think, uh, we'll definitely give all the teams in the tournament like a run for their money.
It was a poor showing from us previously.
You absolutely blew it out of the water today and we were kind of thinking like, you know,
this went the distance and a half last time you matched up against team missing X, right?
But you didn't seem to have a very good understanding from start to finish of what your identity
was as a team even swapped it up a little bit.
I kind of was curious like what was the decision behind especially pulling out something
like an honor on a new junk city there were you kind of expecting shenanigans to be coming in
um actually we just really like playing diana um it's one of juno's favorite characters and
something she's really good at so uh we have you know theory crafted around that and then um
we got hit already yell at us to when to walk and when to you know not walk so
um yeah it looked like it worked um for the most part yeah
Yeah, go ahead.
Sorry.
Oh, I was going to say we could have cleaned it up a bit here
and there, but because some of the fights
were a little bit scrappy.
But like I said, you know, having it to worry to, you know,
like, IGL and be able to communicate on what they need,
like what she needs is more than like more than enough
for all of us to like take the hands
and or like be the game into our own hands.
And for sure, and obviously, you know, Demon has kind of entered this meta, wasn't in the
mix during that seeding tournament.
How are you all feeling about Demon's place in this meta?
It feels like Hitori is pretty comfortable, easy to say, on that hero so far.
I personally don't like Demon.
I think as the hit scan, you're always getting ran down, so it's not always the
much fun but I think Hitori has always been known to pick up the new heroes very very quickly
and so I think that with Hitori on the demon we're like you know we're already at a pretty
high point but she also has like you know five or six other characters in the arsenal that she
can pull out and so I enjoy the demon but every once in a while I'm like I would I would rather
different tank. That is completely understandable. I think that's just the life of the hits game
players sometimes. You just get run down, especially when everything moves very quickly
around you. And kind of speaking of that, the other team that we've kind of seen start
to hit a peak even more is this timeless X-missing roster, which you have a date with next
weekend. So what are your thoughts heading into that match with kind of having a team
that is on paper at a similar level?
Um, just taking one step at a time.
Uh, I can't, you know, like, predict the future nor can I, like, I can only control what's in the moment.
So, um, taking one step at a time, preparing ourselves mentally and in-game as well,
and go from there. I think that full frosters are highly capable of winning and, um,
it's just up to who wants it more.
Well, heck yeah, that's what we like to hear and you got a whole week to get back to the
tapes keep grinding out and we look forward to of course seeing that match up.
I come up potentially more than once over the course of the next weekend.
But I agree before we go ahead and let you go for the day view of any final shoutouts
final words that you'd like to say here on broadcast.
Um, well, just my team, uh, I, I actually didn't have a team due to some internal stuff, uh, prior to the seating tournament. Um, I just wasn't going to play this, uh, calling all heroes, uh, you know, segment slash, like, the session. So, um, sorry, I got like, it was, it was very frustrating for me just kind of like having everything fall apart within the last few minutes of like, uh, roster
locks and then Senna Bar reached out to me and was like hey we need a hit scan and so being able to
you know join the team and you know compete is always a plus for me I always enjoy competing
and then the other person I would shout out is my beautiful beautiful wife she's always there
supporting me and you know whether it be in the game or out she's always you know my number one
fan and I always appreciate that so we love to hear about the great support system behind
the players that we have here and of course we love watching you compete as well with
the rest of Cafe Pika. Thank you so much Ivory, taking the time to chat with us a little bit.
I'll go ahead and let you go. I have a great rest of your week, grinding it out and we
will see you back for the final days of the championships. I'm excited, it's always
great seeing you both. Have a good day. Thank you. It's crazy that Ivory was almost not a
team. That's to me is like such a crazy concept. That's a crime actually. Yeah. That should never
happen. I feel like every single time we see Ivory come out, one of the most consistent
hits game players I think that we have always managed to find volume and then it has days
like today where they're simply running a lobby like this is the kind of the
energy that is needed to be carrying forward and the energy that I think is
going to be needed if you want to take a shot at this title sex missing officer
they're like Nepal was their map like it just completely took over in Nepal in
this series and then you do know did you know things during the second and
third maps of the day but no it just absolutely crazy but awesome to see
event back once again here at the top of the Collier Hero stage. I do think again between
both these top two teams, we are in for an absolute gauntlet of a final weekend.
No, I expect nothing less. Again again we said that and we got 8-3 overwatches. We won't
have it. I promise.
It will not happen next week. It will not happen next week.
Yeah, knock on wood, do whatever you need to do to make sure but it will not happen
We got some exciting matches still to come, but fortunately Jesse that doesn't for the very first weekend of the Coalengal heroes
2026 championships. Thank you all so much for coming out to support our players as we shine the spotlight on our women of marginalized
genders competing in the Overwatch eSports scene. It's been tiny and shiny and tiny shiny and twin salty up here on the desk
Thank you so much again to radiant to all of our wonderful production people making things happen behind the scenes
We'll see you on Saturday for day three of the Collin O'Hara's Championships.
You
