the game. We'll see you in a few minutes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Eight teams have entered and only one can emerge as the monarch for a calling all heroes. 2026 season and today is the day that we get to We have three final matches to wrap up what has been an eventful calling all heroes bracket so far Yeah, it's been a great bracket so far lots of three overwatch But we did break that curse yesterday, which was great in the upper bracket final I'm feeling really more of that kind of theme today We are down to our final four and this is what it really starts to get messy Everybody trying to fight for that opportunity to play timeless X missing in that green final the game. I think it's a team that is remained lawless through this brackets. So a little scary. I think of how they will react to whoever their opponent shall be. But of course, couple matches before we get to that grand finals. But first we need to talk about what we are playing for today. Calling all heroes. Championship always has a little bit of cash money to go along with it. $10,000 on the line for Third, those are the ones that apply since we only have our top four teams remaining in the block. So at least four grand for each of these teams, but obviously you want to have more than that. You want to reach for the top and that'll be what we're fighting for today here in the Radiant Series Championship. And also not only the players, do they get stuff. You the viewers, get wonderful incentives through watching this weekend. Some of you may have already gotten a few of these from watching day three of the event, but make sure you got everything linked on Twitch and YouTube to make sure you get all the drops including the Esports loot box there at the end, but I don't know, seeing the little patchy Mari sit on the throne, like that to me is, that's great, I love it. That's one of my favorites. You cannot tell me that is not the most adorable thing you've ever seen. I love that. I can't tell if that's a smile or a mustache either way. I'm here for it. I like it. You're going to like them as well. like them as well. Make sure you have your battle with accounts attached to your Twitch so that you too can get those in-game rewards because we got three matches today. Plenty of your time to make sure you can grab those, especially if you were here yesterday for the competition then. Let's take a little bit of a look back later as well because I think that what we have seen for this calling on Heroes Circuit in particular as we went from I'm I'm thinking back to the seeding turn of it, like, about little less than a month ago now that we had, where we had, like, insanely close game, 5 map, even 2 6 map series that were coming up. But then we look at how this practice turned out. Every game, except for the one, has been a sweep. It feels like they've really established, like, the tiers of Collier Heroes that naturally started to build. As we take a look at yesterday's matches, sadly, Fable and Valentine both finishing top six after their losses yesterday. But it feels like we had, obviously I brought them two, and then Valentine and Fable both kind of knocking on that top four door, but just not able to get over the line yesterday in their games, Team Missing X-Ray and Extra Blivion, They both move on to today's first match to figure out who is joining one of those podium places and gets to play cafe Fika in that lower bracket final But I don't know yes, these matches kind of said more of the same a lot of demon and a lot of jetpack cats still in the mix Yeah, there's been any patches of course since the previous week of competition So things have stayed pretty stagnant. I think that what has kind of evolved for our teams has been Where is your comfort? What has been like the go-to thing for a lot of these schools and well, you just saw it Pat noon the name of the game We had quite a few of those combinations coming up yesterday away with the cash in a way That one comes in the flying cowboy. We got a workshop guys. They never go with flying cowboy As they speak in the sky noon flying cowboy seems a little seems pretty fitting. Yeah, he's up there it does stuff. It's kind of cool unless you are stuck on the ground with no shield as an email. But I think we're seeing these teams start to find their identities, which has led to this gap that we have seen within the gameplay itself. Yeah, you take a look at the upper bracket here. Again, just three O's in the quarterfinals, three O's in the semis. And yes, our top two teams remained kind of in their own echelon right now, but Tyler's like missing. They get to wait in that grand final. Watch all of these matches today to see who they will play in that final matchup and then even in the lower is missing x-ray and jablee vio and both went in sweeps yesterday obviously they can't be the case for both of them today as they face off each other here in that lower semi-final but these are kind of where we started to get into we kind of thought x-ray and jablee vio and they're the dark horses in this tournament now we get to see which one of them gonna try and prove that that case against Cafe Fica later today. And this is, you know, a bit of deja vu, right? Thinking back to our seeding tournament, X-Will-Veon and team missing X-Ray, were the two that faced off against each other in this lower semifinals match for a chance at the top four. And because of that, well, things got a little tricky, I think for them. We had X-Will-Veon inevitably come out of that on top. I believe it was a, oh no, they actually lost that. It was a 3-1 loss for them. Team missing X-ray got the one and only upset from that tournament. And this is the first time these two teams will be meeting each other since that moment. I think if we are going to have a quote-unquote upset coming in today, this seems like the most likely match for it to happen. And for me, this kind of just feels like a coin flip now. Obviously when the matchup happened during the seeding tournament, Javudio definitely was the favorite, but now we've seen X-ray as we look at their roster really start to step it up Over these last few weeks in preparation. I believe it's that team not a condo in on DPS and video tank But this team has been unbelievable So far emity has this very naturally drifted into that demon role It is seemed very fitting for the type of play style She is known for and then it seems either Mikman or not a condo one of them continues to pop off match after match But you and I were talking before we came in and this is one of the needs to step up because the way winter and show we're playing yesterday, that's a scary side. Yeah, I think that that is one of the biggest strengths and the biggest weakness of the sea missing x-ray roster is this DPS line. You can have these insane hop off level moments from not a Cotto and McMinn, but if they don't have that same level of consistency, I think we've seen with some of our DPS rosters, if they can't find either a consistent pattern or a way to at least get to more of those higher peaks. I do fear how the series can turn for them in the long run. That's of course going against the definition of consistency themselves and the other side of this extra of the own roster. Shole had one of the best performances from an individual that we got to see yesterday just to start. Yeah, she was unbelievable yesterday in their win and obviously will want to continue that momentum here in the lower semi-final. And again, we've been talking about her a bunch, but this is her first real like go at a tournament like this. She's naturally fit right into this roster, which has a lot of veterans in it with Windsor and Sancy and Paulette. So I think it's kind of been the perfect storm for her to really break into the scene and then we can see how much further this extra to blue the own roster can go. I think this has been the one that you know, hasn't quite been living up to expectations. I think there's so much potential behind this roster that they've had, you know, couple bumps in the road, especially having a couple people off role winter traditionally hit skin player has taken up more of the flex and the team is going to be on the same team. We're going to be on the same team. We're going to be on the same CPS kind of things. Same goes for pallets and envy. Both are in those typical flex support rules. Who's going to be losing? Who's going to be on the jet pack cat, for example, and those kings. I think it definitely been ironed out over the last couple of weeks of play, and this is a new team that extra oblivion are rocking into this matchup with against team missing so far this tournament. Yeah, that should be popping off on the sheen so far. So a little bit of a shock to see that kind of band out right away, but it also has been a comfort pick for Jubilion on the other side and it's a hog bear from Jubilion, which Granted, we've seen it a couple of times here and there. The road hog pulled out, but it which is very few and far between, granted, of all the tanks in this tournament, to pull it up. Mari is probably pretty high up on that list. So maybe just a little bit of a safety pick here. Yeah, I think that a lot of safe things going on, just to make sure that you have the general idea of, you know, no crazy shenanigans going in and making sure that you are locked in for the day, which, speaking of which, Jesse, we have our sponsor in for this event.

Winner has a chance to make the full run through the lower on Nepal with these rosters and not too much of a shock if you've been following us along throughout this tournament with the Demon and the Jetpack Cat both being active and some Sky Noons are on the way as we get ready here for Village Yeah, with the she on being banned out the tracer mirror from Winter and Mickman to be expected As I was there we're gonna be seeing a lot of these types of cops all day long Jesse, the big star of the show is this Cassidy. Both Shull and Nodokado are heading off, but one of them has kept sitter. The other does not, so Shull has to abandon her post on the high grounds. Damn it, she was her away. And pushing the rest of Xjiblavion back. Sandy, once again, left out on an island without a tank. It's not much Xjiblavion can do to stop the first cat. That was something you and I were both talking about leading into this series. It was kind of the Achilles heel of Xjiblavion during their upper bracket loss. It was santi kind of getting caught out Sometimes I also just get a left behind a lot of miscommunications with santi being D-mech very early in some of those fights something that jubilee on will have to clean up today We're going to look to but I think that was a good example. Hey, you want to get our tank game? We want to get something done bad. He's like, oh, there's no one in your flow What line walks down and head and be and stewards with her and this is the value that we've seen her get all All tournament long on this demon fight far one of the best we have in the bracket Yeah, for me it's been her and a Tory have kind of been the top two in saw Hill has really started to enter that conversation as well But yeah, it's been excellent gameplay so far from Amity already 30% away from the limit break but more importantly here The sky noon is already up here for now to cut off And she might not even need it though. I mean how let going down as early as she did you can just hold this off It's basically a fight win. I just want to tell you that the Olds can bring a term to spacing but micman is The math I spoke a little too soon You know what? They got the one that's fine, right? They did get their one That's gonna be two off. Maybe just the one in power lead is it's a trade one for one both cashities I'll do the same time not a cotto in a much worse position of being in the backline the next to blooming owned a A scrappy flight, nonetheless, thanks to Mikman's little whoopsies. Katsuneirush is now on the point and sent to stabilize 4A, the roster, and they had a limit break, but did off the hold on to it this time around, kind of sensed this fight. It is just done, we'll save her for Final Fight territory. Yeah, and it's a good save there from Amity, definitely an uphill battle as soon as that Katsuneirush gets matched by Envy. Feels like the fight is pretty much wrapped up from there, but now the Sky Nudes are gone winter, still holding on to this pulse bomb after Mikman used it last fight and it's going to be both limit breaks. It's going to be very important timing here from the Suzus of Cameron and Envy to try and stop that quick play. And you know for a fact that these teams are going to be running down the opposing carry. Oh, a million. They're going to attempt to get that cooldown out. And left break is one of the biggest rules you can do if there's no cleanse in the way to stop it. We'll be attacking out of those three problems, taking them far, far away from the fight. There's a little break from Sansi that the so-so perfectly times out of Cameron And the point is to flip back over so nothing really to be gained for extra blivion. They had the reposition entirely Yeah, a quick 5% goes over and team this thing actually, but the Jolivion just takes it right back at our enmity very far behind enemy lines I was able to escape but their cat can't have the same face And not quite. I believe that's Pallet's cat not as well I mean, I don't think that necessarily landed, but doesn't that show finally is the high ground that she wants all to herself and is making his team missing x-ray really wish that she did not have that space. Another flip does come in. We'll make sure that over time has gained and plenty of opportunities left for team missing x-ray to come back in. Guaranteed at least another full fight here for team missing actually. No need to rush going in, especially when you have that sky noon available once again. But again those traded limit breaks, I get neither of them really get a ton of value done. The thing important thing here right now is, well, sky noon! It cleanses out, it doesn't matter! Oh, Shoal just held it a little too long and it got over-greed and I'm getting crumb as well, but that's two now. Renato, Kato, she's so clean on this Cassidy. When she can make it, work it with all the resources in her back pocket. He missed an X-ray, over-climbed, taking down again in their favor. Actually, you know, when I'm running out of bodies to throw onto the objectives, it'll be round number one, going over to the purple squad. And it worked that's usually it was well timed enough if show pulled the trigger and tried to finish off casting in the air But instead tries to hold on a little bit longer and the rest of the fight kind of just tears itself apart Due to not okato's sky noon and a great start here if you were team missing x-ray But still obviously a very close contest between these two kind of what we expected going in considering the form of X-Ray so far. Now let's have to do the video. What changes do we want to see? Obviously comp changes. We're not really expecting any at this point. Both teams are very content running the demon. Both have run the Moga in the past, but it's not like it's going to be a desired pick. No, I have a feeling we'll be sticking to the guttled faithful in the tracer as of now. It seemed like though that team missing x-ray Jesse have a much better idea of how to play around the map Yeah, so far it has that we felt like that even with show getting in some great position sometimes Yeah, obviously it works sometimes, but not always and it's getting show and more of those power positions She's already lining up the shop my goodness, but yeah, well, she needs to land up her escape Oh fast there in that moment. That was a sitting duck this routine is in X-ray to stop into the ground actually be on now without their carry pick are facing the wrath of not okado she gets couple on the way out and so we were talking about we need either not a condo or mic man if at this thing x-ray is going to win this series that needs to happen so far not a condo has answered the call and just boldly it's not even been like a very subtle performance she's been lighting it up already hiding it up and ready There's no match for it. It's a guaranteed one big second they're secured on the Palettes and that is the power that this Cat Eye combo brings to the table and Exibolvion is going to get staggered out here. Yeah, and even Envy stuck behind, but the one positive here for Jablilbion is that Cameron is staggered out as well, but that'll just cue Micman to go into the back. Obviously, that's he trying to deal with Winter as well. Uh, Santee, because she was D-Max, has to go back and spawn, go to the D.Va, then go back, so it loses all of that limit break charge for this next fight. I just get small miscommunications for Xjibubi-Yon, there's lying them, so much space, away from where these actual important flights are happening, Katsune-Rushes are up, and they happen to just go smash us, let's say goodbye to Xjibubi-Yon, and not being able to get a full flight since the first one, Jesse. Yeah, great limit break and just runs through, even with the good senior rush. Active for Joliviel in the final fight territory now and Santee because of the fact that she had to go back in a reset. Well, is that even close to that limit break? Still just 32% is going to have to rely on her DPS to pull this one through. I mean, haven't been working so well for show. Let's see if it turns the tide now. Maybe since Naotakato doesn't have one, it's her time to shy which something has to come out of it, but it's just a shield break on the amity and the pulse bump is the great under forehead courtesy of Mikman, beautifully played, and Naotakato will get Paulette on her way out of the fight, but it's gonna be like a measly 9, 10% here for actually the own overtime, ticking it down once more. The map on the line only a catnap Palette available Does connects or at least make sure that the flight extends a little longer perhaps hoping you can get santi We'll leave up to a limit break and that is a good start from sniped out of the sky with a fusion repeater Mammony I feel in the lack of support right now unable to get past that half-help marker Excites the pulse and hit its shoulders realizing this fight is as good as it done Yeah, I mean, it's still flying all the way up. But it will be, and that's sort of flip there, for JBLV on it, just stops the bleeding here for a little bit. They did have to use everything, at least that was at their disposal, and again, look at this, Santee. Still out of mech for the beginning of this fight, so if Missing X-Roy play this smart, they'll just kind of avoid any sort of poke for Santee, and play this very quickly for Santee to try and get back in the mech when the fight's already on going. Yeah, both Envy and Palette are watching Santee like a hawk, knowing how important it is that she gets back in mech. They even invest the Swedish to make sure it happens and it works out. Team missing x-ray over commit onto that play, even though you get the flip on the point, you don't have amity to be able to do it. But Nautilus says, hold on, I wouldn't give this a shot. I don't think you should have done that. That one was a risky situation, putting it lightly. Now actually we're on a much better spot. Yeah, also, yeah, Tide's flipped. completely now to JBLivio's favor as basically every single ultimate except the catnap will be up and are ready to go I understood yeah, want to try and finish off the santi Don't let her get back in mech, but the suzer the support was all there And it's just a perfect peel for JBLivio and now again time to start the turn 60% counting And all these alts that's ready to go to and have a pretty massive limit break here for Mamadi It's still 3-olds though, available from Team Missing X-Race. I wouldn't say X-Rail-B-Own are a for sure win on this fight, but they definitely have an upper hand. And he's gonna start with this Cat Noon from Shull, BAMBRAIN. It will lead to TP to save TP, but the headshot, you'll still connect. And the main sluggering of healing is down, X-Rail-B-Own, don't even feel the need to commit their own Getsune rush to it. They're having envy. Hold on to it for now. As the limit break come on out, but it's amity who has the better one. Now I need to pull the trigger and make sure that we can close away this round and that should just about do it It's only a baby demon running through the main part of the map, but we're not much longer next movie on Tied up our rounds so far. We're gonna finish this one off and sank them Yes, I'm here to come a nice little miniature of our sweep there Yeah, for round two for to believe you don't start to get their feel now. It definitely seems like Santee a little more communication with her and the rest of the team on again That was one of the issues we had with their last loss was just that communication on a lot of these gates these engagements weren't there So the fact that seems like they've patched that up a little bit over the last week Looking a lot better here in this series against missing x-rays so far We don't expect again any massive comp changes going into the final round a sanctum just these opening TPs from McMahon and Winter it'll be this control for the high ground that both teams are supposed to be running to Yeah mad dash to point So they were taken by the in the back next move the own like all right cool we'll take first fight yeah not even a real fight it was just a very nice play there from sainty and followed by a next exit take there as well but that is a very quick first half here for jubilion for honestly not that much they had to put in now sainty going from struggling to build up that limit break charge last round already 55% because of all the extra percent you get with it being an environmental kill Yeah, that's a that's a big oh for Team missing x-ray we're getting into this point because now you have to push through these small choke points that shocker That's where demon shines and apparently winter as well a nice little one clip there on a mic man Chugging down the opposing tracer. You can't really get in on the side angles either Theme missing x-ray. You're just forced to wait Yeah, just have to chill out, wait for Mickman to return and obviously that is just going to play right into Axel's hands as Santee just continuing to push this choke. Now has that limit break, we'll just be tracking. This sees you from camera. Question is, do they expect Santee to have the limit break already? We don't have to worry about the sky noon from Shoal. Don't even have the chance to react if you're Mickman. recall either pull that one away. I mean, not a Kato's turn with it, but don't put the trigger way too long. Shoulders slams the shot the good old fashioned way. That's where the chaos kind of evolves from there. The Linda break did get the volume that was needed for extra move young because they didn't end up using it as a decision. They're going to regret amity somehow came up with three in the backline while all of this was happening. And if you're looking like team is next right, start finding some more footing onto this Point, if something is enacted upon soon, X will be on commit both of domain ultimates to the flight, Catnap goes wide from crumb, another resource down to the drain, because it's just Amity fighting as a one-woman army on this objective here best to turn it over, but X will be on their own, they're already on final flight territory, the panic is starting to set in, the DMACC on the Sancti though eventually will come through and guarantee it won't be a sweep around three. Oh, it was nearly so, though. They're at the surging strike. I think they're from Amity. Actually stopped the catnap from Paul Lank. Just maybe a few frames before it would have landed. So a very close play there from Amity to keep this around going. And now, still also available here for Mickman. Javlivia put so much into that, thinking they could end the map. Boy, they made it. I even need it. Yeah. She has been put down so quick into the early part of this fight and it's gone from X-Ray looking lost on the map to hey, team missing X-Ray, let's punish their overconfident positioning and it works out they're back in control someone has to get a touch but it is looking grim for team missing X-Ray, Cromwell gritted at the cost of her life and there are no other bodies you can put on to this point X-Ray starting the series up. Yeah to one win here for extra movie owned on the poem that is exactly how you want to get this started after Kind of a rough start to the map It looks pretty heavily in favor of team missing x-ray during the first round But things started to flip here after the fight after this pretty much where this poor like man already 70% counting missing extra any of you starting to run away with this map a little bit But all of a sudden, she would be on the start turning in a little bit around. They find the momentum and they just never let it get back into the hands of missing X-ray. Very well adapted map. And now we get to see where X-ray would like to take us here in the series. And there I say, was that a bit of overconfidence from D-Missing X-ray? As well. I think there was just a lot of moments there that they're like, I can clutch this. I can do this. But they end up screwing over their old economy in the long term. that pretty gutsy cat noon that was the first part of that and from that point forwards it was just a lot of overpushed positioning more specifically from the DPS of team missing x-ray did not and it was clearly identifying by this extra oblivion roster and they started to shut it down they're looking for it they're sending Santhe after it the major that winter was there the follow-up on the flights yeah instead of sending santi in straight away it was more hey where are they playing where do they want to push let's send santi there once they start being engaged and at that point santi wasn't kind of getting left alone when her team has inevitably had to peel for that push going in and said she was part of the peel she got the support she needed while also kind of fending off any sort of attack from missing x-ray so some great adaptations mid map here for it's a blue vio arms in that first map wins. Now we can see where the rest of this goes and honestly, Santee really started cleaning it up on the demon as well. After first round, Amity kind of looked like the better demon, was kind of even in that round too, and then Santee really started to improve and just dominated the field in the last round of Sanctum. But obviously, every type other than control, up for grabs here, for team missing x-ray to choose from, and then we can see kind of what they're feeling going into the rest of this series. I would love to see me some, McMahon, Sheehan, that makes me happy. I think that when compared to the tracer, I feel like the, I don't know, carry potential is there for McMahon so much more on our motorcycle riding hero than other guys. And I feel like the map we see that most often, like for those, at least those big plays, is New Jump City. it's very favored towards she ons kit. Um, but it is also something to consider as well. Uh, a map that extra of the own historically have banned demon out on. Santy has been one of our few tanks to play, uh, non demon tanks like we've seen a little bit of Zarya. We've seen quite a bit of Hathard as well, from her more often than any of our other tank players in that role. And I think that is something that is at the back of their mind. It's not like Amity can't play other things, but I think this demon has kind of been her big come up moment of this tournament. Yeah, that's the warrior. Do you just go New Jersey? Because you've obviously had a lot of success with it, but you just may need to protect them with that demon, whether it be banning out the hazard, banning out the Zarya, but then you're kind of leaving a lot of other bands open. It could just be the return she owned them from Chablir Vio knowing how much this team likes to play around. It does look like, unless They're pulling a fast one on us with a flashpoint It should be a new junk city indeed being the case in your will So now we're gonna see if that protect ban on the demon is going to come through or to be a little bit more aggressive Of a ban here leaving that option open and it will actually Cassidy is Taken away after she'll really started cleaning up at the back half of map one I'm here for this. I know this is absolutely necessary that. I mean, I think that's the best way to do it. I think that's the best way to do it. Right kind of show was kind of the X factor for me in that map. Number one, just how consistent her performance is she always manages the fine through one and if needed, she can hit shots in kind of those scary situations, ie the cat new dangling over her head. So with the Cassidy band, sure that shuts down show probably going to put her on something like a soldier and consider. It's not even like it's that much of a demon gap right now. What I think is maybe a little bit of the conversation too of we feel pretty good. We obviously just won the last map playing demon. Do we just want to stick it and ban something else out? I still think it's going to be the demon ban here for Ex-Depu-The-Own considering how much they enjoy playing the Zarya comps and the hazard comps. And even with the Cassidy being out as much that you know is obviously here you want to have in shells hands you know it definitely helps to be playing that hazard hazard is one less thing to worry about in terms of cc so let's see obviously we're still waiting for a very long ban for Jolivio in here to choose from yeah I'm not expecting Cassie to go away but is instead the Mizuki and this is what we don't see a lot these days the The only time we've really gotten lot of Mizuki is when D.Va is strong, but D.Va kinda sucks right now because D.Va is so good. So I don't think we would have been seeing him much anyways, and this, I think you see there's signifies that you're going to try playing the hazard, so you don't want to have to worry about a Mizuki, or you're doing another borderline throw away ban, but I am feeling, even if I broke, don't fix it. the ML for actual of the own heading into this map and I'm expecting to see that D-Mon return for Sancy. Yeah, I think it should be the D-Mon return for Sancy but if they want to elect the hazard made us feel at these first few fights. Just because with D-Mon still remaining in D-Mon this has a level of mobility than the hazard does. As soon as you're tracking the leaps you can just wait for it and then dive with backline has a generally do so much at that point to peel for the rest of their team. So it's definitely a catch 22 if you elect to go that route. With New York City, here we go between these two teams and at least as of now, well for X-ray no shock it is going to be a lot of the same but Mickman is going over to the Shia kind of what we expected them to eventually land on here on this map after his band map one. Nanakato is kind of just the question mark right now to see what the swap is after the TP. Probably a sojourn. We had the guest. Just the slides to get back out of the spawn. Okay, remember how I just said that Diva in the demon not fun? Not great. So the Mizuki van makes sense that this is what Santi wants to do, but I think a lot of question marks in my head about and her ability to sustain within a frontline of Amity just decides to run it down and I think that's why they're putting soul on this bastion yeah obviously the diva could get chunked down pretty easily but having to worry about that bastion in the sky I was going to take number one priority that I thought that was not bad for not a call I can tell you that that was just a great bounce and some good old fashion geometry leads to a pretty exploding tracer in the back line I'm a great start for this team which not a condom did roll it on the tracer not the The soldier, by the way, so very fast comp, the team is the extra trying to play. It just wasn't fast enough No, and maybe just a little caught-off guard Considering oh, there's a there's a bash on the other side. Maybe not exactly the look they were expecting But now some habits can't be made obviously make me not a cutoff Just going to have to mark that cap ashton permanently Amity, this is a good point-forcing potential. Now just to wait for the Bastion form to come out, there is that big swing into the back. But there aren't any real targets for Shoul to go after, especially with how low Amity is. Suzu had the good drop-thonor as well. It's kind of a sand steal, team missing x-ray. A very small window when they can poke their head out, and that's when Shoul's not attached to the cat. cat so no matter to take advantage of it but all that resource going towards the Bastion well nothing's really left over to keep Amity alive and this is final fight on the objective release bottle full fights on this objective final full fight and obviously I don't know yeah that'll kind of won't be a part of it either and I think that might just be the flashpoint right there there's going to be no easy touch here for a team missing extra and that'll be to move you know just stealing away the first round here with an unexpected Comp and that diva against the demon so far is fairing all right great that I think it's because you have to worry about that bastion 24-7, but it is working so far now we go over by the coast and that's plays right into Paula's hands with this cat And this is kind of the magic pick to do not play passion Here we are anyways. Oh spot goes wide from not a car though The amity is trying to strike that as a limit break on to Shaw and Pellet in the sky by the way Shultz snipe both of them down as the melee tank Team is an x-ray. A much better start to this objective A limit break into the sky is not often seen but not impossible Does a great little play there from amity understanding that if we just take out these two players This fight's over. There's not enough damage that'll come in from Jablouvillon to finish off the fight So that's where to shut that down before any sort of set play Can be put into motion, but now for Jablouvillon all those resources they had last fight still sticking around Yeah, they didn't have to use anything for that flights and hey your investment I just got lower then beat finds out a potto before the fight can really unfold but talk about the Star of the Show having to be Nickman on this map, but a fantastic defense major from Santhe, end up shutting down most of the south side of Rikers Free, and sets Winter up perfectly for a successful return on her own ultimate on the other side, actually the only way to flip. Best flip in Winter, she's kind of looking around, just to see if anybody is leaving me hanging out, but nobody is seen enough. Actually, we're even kind of starting, Yes, you have full support ultimates, but Envy doesn't have hers. I guess you could say that, so maybe an early rush could catch the opponent off guard and then a two-year strike is going to force the season. Yeah, everything out of Cameron, the Katsune rushes are unleashed on both ends. Or the A-triple's third with the Catnip, though. Great setup from Karam, and then he can get right in there and get the job done. Self-destruct here from Santi, just an attempt to get the mech back for perhaps a swap coming in from Expo Dio. Yeah, I wouldn't be shocked if it's just gonna be a match on the D-Von now from Santee. We'll see here in just a moment. Which direction she's going. Nope, I'll have to stick the D-Vo for the time being. Crumped a little bit of an air taxi before their support partner getting back into the fray, but that allows us to make sure a distance here for Chibokura. Delegated for an early push, but a beautiful purr! pushes Santee off and that is a great flashpoint for missing x-ray. And you can tell too that was one of those moments like team I got this Santee comes in and does not expect the purr to be there from crumb very well read from the cat player there to mixing x-ray they tie us up we moved to the input point Jesse and this is where extra ability owner gonna struggle yeah that that cat bastion not a lot of height to work with so just playing kind of these natural angles for missing x-ray is going to be the key try to force this bashing to really aggressive positions if they want any sort of value oh just do that again that's pretty nice and I'm sure it still doesn't think that's that nice having happened twice on the last two points but it's a good way for team x-ray to end the fight early and it's an easy fight win as long as like it isn't the bashing is getting dropped out of the sky just in time there's There's no way to avoid that ultimate in that kind of position, and that's why already some changes being pulled out here from Ceblevio, and it's going to be Sainte now matching that demon from Ambide, so at least got two months of a limit break in difference. Not a caught a look with this pulse, she's trying to see where this duo is going to be hanging out. Not a caught getting hard marks there by winter, he's matched on the same plank, There's not much that an autopilot can do just because of the other sign. We'll be the South Pacific Roussbury out of McMinn. There's so much that has already happened in the frontline that it's getting the passion really a matter because when there is prime real estate, Paparone, South Pacific Roussbury, each team down the support right now. As Amity ends up getting it back into this fight, we heard that has the last lap here in the refinery. And this compassion just does not work out in close quarters. actually realized it just not before this point is cocked just a little bit too late shul does make the swap eventually to that soldier as we had to the next flash point which soldier historically has always been pretty decent on this man especially on these two indoor flash points where this raptor shots and basically this block out an entire choke point for a few seconds let the rest of her team relax and it kind of assess where the rest of this fight could go. And X-ray though. Still have three ultimates compared to just the rush here from Envy. Yeah, and team is in the X-ray. They've barely had to use anything. They've had a lot of very quick picks. But before these fights really get unfolded, they're gonna actually invest though, this time around. But they could soon have rush coming out from Cameron. But it is all purple again. Lighting up the kill feed. I think this double flanker presence between between Nodocato and Mittman, it's proofing to be too much for X-Men to wield his black line of handle. And I'm already show making another spot. Now onto the Freya instead of the Sojourn. Trying to get a little more of that one tap potential onto some of these squishies, especially the Flankers of Nodocato and Mickman. Just maybe forcefully kind of have a little bit of a take off the pressure from those two, but it's again, it's been this double Flanker, Like you said, there's just so many different angles you have to worry about if we're extra moving out It's hard to struggle on what's actually going on in front, which is opening up more opportunities for Namity blasting her in the back We both limit breaks and folding onto the objective The McMahon has the better pick. There's no Susan to come in to save this extra move the only team is sold to see that this tracer finally seeing the avocado has done enough something has to be stopped. Windsor, yeah she'll get the final blow, but you're not really going to get that full flight on the point until a little later. Do you miss x-ray out of bare minimum? We'll get the final fight back territory. No reason to play that fight out more if you're x-raying. No other ultimates throw in by as well as take the clean or reset. Again, just so much is going on to where Amityus gets slided and she gets free value because everybody's looking around for the tracer for the Shion and not looking at the giant mech running towards the rest of your team and that little bit of chaos has been working out perfectly here for X-Ref and now these ultimate advantages start to swing back the other way Cat was in from Palette so that the stun through Amity there guarantees that the DMech will come through and that's gonna be an efficiency that you want and if losing Envy leaves some things open. You have to have something else come in. There you go. It is a trade of DPS for DPS. But with the time that is remaining, T-Missing X-Ray are absolutely looking for a reset. Looking for a reset, but a pretty quick respite is even though Wickedman is just stuck. Eventually, though, finds the bike. Now the consumer rush will force the retreat here from JBLIVION, and that'll lead right into the screen. Yeah, so that's to do your spree up here from Nickman Winter, not around to deal with Thins, Pallettes, nearly escapes danger. Nickman, didn't get all the value out of the ult, but Elise will live to fight another day. Katnap, throw them to the back line, on to the Shea'an, but that leaves so much pressure off of Amity, she gets to do whatever the heck she wants. Women break on to Elise, one more fight of low, on to Winter. Team missing x-ray they want to tie up this series. We are going to go two for two on the consecutive Breaks of the three-over-watch curse. We are tied up This real life, but we're getting Hey, this is great first time for us on this event getting I died a 3l But that is exactly the kind of effect this map pick has had Not even just this tournament during the CD tournament as well Well, team missing x-ray has just been there, bread and butter allowing both Vickman and Narikato just to go crazy on the flanks and it continues to work wonders and now evens this series up this best of five, now a best of three and a lot of notes probably getting passed around right now if you're actually going to be on because a lot of great ideas. Again I liked the Bastion concept especially during those first few flash points but once that kind of I figured out and the limit breaks into the sky was just a great. That's just so fun. Um, like that's just great Yeah, I think once those counters started to get pushed a little bit harder Maybe just a little bit late on the swaps offer to glibya and cost him a little bit there I think the idea was there. I think you just needed to realize okay We need to scrap this a little faster It was it works when you're outside When you're not outside or when you have to push through a small choke into demon And so what happened on both bomb flat and refinery not so good and finding an answer to both Nickman and not Ocado Proved to be a challenge and even when they did make those swaps They're it's such an ultimate disadvantage that it was darn near impossible to make a full comeback from that So I think lessons learned from both of these squads I think this is the pattern that we are going to keep seeing is that one team between these maps It's gonna go through talk about okay This is what we did wrong. This is how we're going to fix it and the other spends the rest of the map further and now Okay, if this is what we're gonna do now, this is how we're going to counter it It's been very like kind of interchangeable about who has been making these adjustments mid game and what and they're not I spent the team has been coming out on top And obviously now power goes back over To Joliviel and last time they had a map pick of their own We actually, New York City was one of the two maps that they had, but Junkertown was the other choice. There's been some interesting comps that we've seen from them on that map. Not all of them have worked so far throughout this tournament, so I'm wondering if you get another one of those creative ones. Or if we see just a little bit of a different point of view. Maybe leaning into that dive once more, just maybe not in this map, as we expected here with the hazard. But yeah, great overall performance there from team missing x-ray and now we can see where XO would like to go See escort hybrid push still all on the board I'm gonna say we've kind of followed our typical tempo of them, you know, we started on The ball we've got a new judge city. You know, you know another one's there still the unjunction Is it a neon junction angle? It could. But I think you're feeding maybe a little bit too much into Micman's power then. Yeah. That would be my concern. That's Shion. Obviously it's, New York City is one of her best maps. A neon junction that was definitely up there. It's still very flanker favored. But you can at least give a little bit more range from maybe that Freya to return. And I think that, you know, having like a longer range of map makes me feel a little better for the sake of this actual Veil roster. Again, you have two players that I think are more comfortable on like a hit scan roll. Are they both going to do that? No. But I think that just where some of these flankers, it's a little harder for them to get the job done. It puts them on a tad more even footing. There is also the out-of-pocket Junkertown pick that has been a pick in the past that I believe that Ghiblione pulled out against a team missing x-ray pulled that out against Timeless I think. Maybe Ghiblione done too. I think both of these teams have played it at some point in time. Yeah Ghiblione pulled it out in upper semis. Did not necessarily go well. It was a 3-0 still for Timeless X, Timeless X Missing. Thank you. By the way, the joke has been, if it's Team Missing X-Ray versus Timeless in that final, good luck, everybody. It's gonna be an interesting one to figure it out, but obviously it was a Tracer and a Demon Bam on that map when they picked it in that series. So definitely an option here, but it will not be yet here for a map. We're heading over to hybrid for neon junction. How did I know how did I know Jesse? It's not like we've gone to this map like nine times out of ten. It's the new Kings Row. It is actually the new Kings Row, but there's no Kings Row in the map pool. If Kings Row was in the map pool, would we pick it over that? This actually reminds me. I was in a scrim last night and our coach is talking us through neon junction because we haven't really played it before. And he said, Think about it. It is literally King's Row, but like mirrored in a way like think about the way the objectives are Like you got the statue in the front and the on the first point but kind on the opposite end You've the train tunnel kind of heading through like the streets facing the on junction and the only thing It's kind of different. I guess it's the third point, but you're kind of like going in the river You see that there's that kind of nuts. I can't see it the same. Yeah. No, that's it. I'm saying yeah I'm picking up what you're throwing down. That's I'm going to go into custom games later and mess with that a little bit. Even at the end of the map, yeah, that's a little scary to think of. I'd say the end of the end junction is definitely more similar to the end of the new party. Kind of like a big open space at the end. What we get of here is we see a lot of Kings Row. Actually, Ramatra is going to be the initial ban. Maybe C is more of a protect to allow that Zarya or hazard to be played, but jetpack cats Will be the game as well a lot of these shenanigans with the the cat bastion the cat castity Both of those are going to be out at least for this map Okay, and I think the title is actually missing. This is better for them uh envy and palette reminder not like a Super confident like lucio player. I'm gonna say specifically lucio that is a really good idea. But I think it's kind of really good idea. So for that reason, things like Juno bridge. I think are also off the table, So I think you're forcing them into something where maybe palette goes on a yachty with like a curico perhaps or maybe some honor gotten quite a bit of honor on this map. I think it's more player dependent. The camera has done it a little in the past. I will wait and see what ends up happening, It has kind of been the jetpack cat of Palolent, and they've been one step ahead for actually looking on a lot of their more favored fights. I'm really curious what these support lines are going to be. It's, as soon as you take the cat away, she's been such a focal point of this meta. Some people have loved that. I know when you and IQ all the time, it's, if you're on support, it's automatically cat being played. But obviously, some teams, They haven't picked it up. Fable was one of those teams where it just didn't really necessarily mesh with the type of style that they were playing a lot of the times. So it's kind of taking that away. We're going into an, I don't know, an older era? Is it fair to say as soon as Cat got introduced, we're in a different era of Overwatch? Yeah, I think so. It's kind of like how when Symmetra became Hard meta, right? It It changes the fundamentals of how games are played. Like we are long gone in the days of honest overwatch. We are getting silly. We are getting in there. We are finding some weird spots that we never knew existed. You could argue Moga kind of did the same thing for a while when we were, it was just Moga matter for months and months and months and regardless of the changes, the core macro of those comps was just so unique and good. That's kind of where we're at now with these jetpack. Jetpack cat comps is where it doesn't really matter who which tank is met up. You can kind of mesh as long as Kyroko is still on a decent spot. You can mess a lot of different looks in with the cat. But it's going to be Jolivione starting on the defense first and their support comp for now is going to be still envy on the Kyroko, but also Paulette on the Mizuki. So still kind of more of that double flex support. Obviously no speed could be an issue here at times but having that root with the chain from Paula is still going to be an option to kind of fend off this attack. Why do you demon is still available? Yes. With no jetpack cat, problem very much does play this Lucio as well. If we want to go zoom zoom you kind of just theme roll over stancy no? I think this is a risk for mech should live your own we'll see if they're gamble on the panel here is the ride well nope there was it it was a ride for a look this is the new sonar arrow from hanzo everybody it's actually gonna be x-ray who pull off the Zarya which has been one of I will say emity's better heroes historically is this Zarya which is going to give saintees some trouble okay mind you Crom is still on the lightweaver by the way. That was not swapped. So, you had somebody out of the Janger? That's pretty nice, which Amity certainly ends up now, but has plenty of charge to back it up. Nickman managed to work their way to the backline as well, so there's a ton of shit in Crom's santi. Manny, not having a great time, no bubbles here, you would have loved the life crack. And you got the cool down, he's gone, and our comp just didn't have the angle in time. So it would be a force to fight you in there, best move out. Yeah, the worry obviously was initially, Sancho could just get run over. And I was like, she did take a lot of damage during the beginning of that fight. You could see her kind of just grasping, waiting for everybody else to retreat. But eventually, there's so much damage coming in from this comp. Especially both supports and pump out the damage just gonna be a little bit too much So now crumb over to the Lucio and the on to the demon. We this is pure speed Yeah Pancake this space grandpa like what's he gonna do about not much Well, no mobility, but hey, you do have the hypers peers just smack Nickman So hey things working out so far the missing x-rays or not you miss next right? Nickman jumped the gun a little on that, but the gas tank has been closed. Amity did put himself on an island, an attempt from Cromby to speed her out, and he's like, no, no, no, I just need to go down here. The stagger is inevitable for the team and not necessarily because Santi meant to. The shot will eventually connect. Yeah, a few missed shots here and there, but I love it as soon as we're like, oh, you know, Santi's going to see it rain over. Grandpa's still got hands. Uh, it just completely deletes the tracer, finishes off Amity, and already, over half of this Time Bank is gone. No tics. Still locked in here for missing X-Rain. No Ultimates have been used from G'Bluvio, it's not like they've been kinda slowly poking through them, and that could spill a lot of worries! Yeah, that's a start of a problem, but you've got the ult to shut it down. Winter, once that's the weaker spree, two bodies, and a half of a mech. The floor, D-missing, X-ray, yeah, that's the issue. Not having the ult's there. Even though they do... I guess they're in a better situation now. Yeah, I still have 2v3, a 2v3 trade for a JBLVO, and you get out, uh, Beckett Sunirosh, especially. From Cameron, it's a major piece out of the way, but now no support ultimates for JBLVO. What do you weigh is the sob barrier from Trump that at least keep missing x-ray in the rest of this fight Once again find the pit on the soul Santee brought both of the supports I believe in the small room out there Susan perfectly fine back again just a quarter of a small room nowhere near where amity was attempting to put so Small bit of this communication that she goes in loses the neck And this fight is so messy, these starfish is still going on, one for one trades, left to right and center, but eventually because of the spawns, missing X-ray do at least find some sort of foothold onto this, and now with Envy out of the equation it's going to be just a little bit of the finish off on the point. goes over to the demon just to kind of have a little bit of a good test but eventually this defense on point A will be extinguished two and a half minutes back on the clock here from missing x-ray but that'll be all that it is Santee will go back over to the Sigma for now a show show I just was a little bit more fun before this car gets moving just like hey I did that too Yeah, this limit break can do a lot of damage as long as that cleanse isn't Perfectly timed here from Enki. Let's see. Taking our time on it. With the unmatched consumer rush now, I'm being 8% away from one of her own. They're just about a great kite from extabit of the own, but without having any speed, especially with their sacrosancterous spree that came out, and assault barrier is a little too late to keep animating in the mech. So you don't really need to use any of these big pools at the wall, Really? Just that one support ult? How many was T missing X-ray and loss? A lot. That was a very heavy handed loss in that fight for missing X-ray and Amity. Hold on, is this real? No way, I'm sorry. Is this just a chill down thing? It might be. Well, a creature maybe had other words for that anyways. What, Amity? Another one of the heroes we've seen from her from time to time. more often installed than anything else but the Doomfist is here which uh gives santi if anything there's more room to run yeah and speaking of running santi cannot do that even though amity is trying to run for down great susie tp there from Cameron to keep crumb on their toes there but that's won't be enough santi should eventually go down if there are players surrounding it but nope everyone was so far off ignoring the tank will not matter Only 40 seconds left Yeah, I don't agree with the cook I'm gonna do first. I'll just be honest I don't think it's works at this point. Stacey is a tank that oh vision to leave the rest of your team to die She's just gonna walk right on What a bullet shot there from not okato what in the world? world. Not Okado, just seeing Shoal do anything, she just has to be like, I do it better and in that situation it works out perfectly, she part-click and all five of those eliminations shoal over to the cash for final fight. Okay, I see you Not Okado, another OT will be triggered here for missing x-ray, ten away from the Sombarier which can at least give a little bit of extra over health to deal with this Katsune Rush from Envy, may just give enough time for Cameron to build one of their own. Yeah I think MV having this advantage like extra build the own especially with how the Alps were used in previous fights you should think you have at least a small bit of advantage and from those that instant pop of the sound barrier not giving anyone the opportunity to come up big but amity I think she caught it but just died so unbelievably fast in the front line so it has to be team missing x-ray fighting without a take but they're doing remarkably well all things considered Mickman firing away, Nautocopo there, back them up, give us an x-ray, spider nite, I think it's a take. Mothers pushing over to the third point, minute and a half. Yeah, I got a little bit sticky there, you see? Ebony just instantly deleted even with the sound barrier going on. And obviously you worry right away as Nautocopo was just turned it on during the second half of this map. On the fray of. But she had definitely a little bit scary, but now Meteor strikes here, another Bola shot as well, from Nanokado. But this Cessariko is great for a Windsor, to give a little bit of pause for the back of the Interexer with, obviously, no shield or defense majors to help. Ooh, a quite amity! Opal's got Windsor by surprise that she was in the right place at the right time. Can't quite say the team for the fallen Doomfist. He missing x-ray. I got still in 40 seconds left to go. I think ideally you wanted to force out Moulter to here But that opportunity long gone Now you just worry about getting the whole team together Late kill on an autocado did not help the case and I was a she'll actually go right over to the soldier For the rest of this fight to have a little bit more mobility This disruptive shot as well can kind of just be thrown at this corner choke and allow the rest of her team to walk a little bit more but it's just what you gotta worry about. This play a little bit longer. She's getting team back to the plate, but they still have a real win-con You need to get your supports up to an ultimate or just make sure Antiette is in a spot that she can't move That's all should not have happened Jesse, but they are back into this battle and team missing x-ray have a chance to complete the map You're sell better out for crumb if make sure that you can send mid to informants for free on the both palette and And Envy and the bodies of X to Bolivia, they're dropping like flies. It looked like a done deal and it looked like it was their flight, but that's where the don't-fist was finally able to make an impact. They'll get it across the finish line. Zero. Zero right to finish that map, just absolute zero right to win that map. But sometimes, especially right now in this meta, there's moments to where somebody gets a pick and it just instantly flips the fight. Like random stuff can happen like that all over the place. Like you look at the scoreboard here I would say relatively even after you know that last flurry of eliminations from missing x-ray But still kind of a leaning in the favor of jubileeville in winter 26 four and five You would think man. She's kind of just leading this team to victory here on this map But it just gets so scrappy near the end after a recon test that shouldn't have even happened And it falls right into the doofus comps hands So, now you're in a position where missing x-ray, again, point A had to go to OT. Second phase went into OT. Third phase, deep into OT, when it's finishing. We could be talking about, it could have been a full hold, and, you know, to believe you haven't already won this map, we're going on to map four. It's crazy to think how quickly that changed. Cameron is on the honor. I'm surprised that's what you're bringing up. Yeah, well that's just- I mean, it's keeping on the attack, I can get it. Yeah. getting places faster like maybe moving on the defense I don't know if I see the vision especially with the back the back three heroes next to blue you know no running right now yeah and it is gonna be going through hell this is not well add on to well no more honor to worry about sleep so you still have to worry about the chain from envy in the flash show this is still maybe not Desire comp to go against it. There we go. There's the chain. Amity already has to defy it out Yeah, well, okay. Okay, that's uh Didn't quite have the shield. I think that was where Amity came in Put some maybe some jump scare onto the backline Can't quite get the healing over but yeah, that's kind of the issue with flying against a bazooka here You will just put on a leash Amity and not be allowed to do Doomfist things in the backline Should be a recon test though without the fast-back bumpers And a but it's why not we're gonna stick it Feel it out a little bit more if you have to get back to the point fast anyway to kind of make this another flight Anti-naid though actually lanes onto a winger in the back that'll help make me get a little bit more space Yeah I mean this is kind of what the doofus can do as he gets you Oh my- Oh, he's basically just winter, left all alone. She just has to hide while the rest of her team comes back. And Mickman is still here to get another contestant. So is Cameron, who gets the assist out of the envy elimination. All of a sudden, this fight just completely turns around again, Molly. What in the world is happening? You know, keep missing x-ray. I'm playing a completely different game. And that game is called Team Deathmatch. That is what I am watching from them right now. But because they have such an advantage and speed, well, they're allowed to do it, Jesse. Just no right. I just absolutely not. In fact, we see Cameron. I thought it was Nickman at first. I didn't realize that it was Cameron At the bottom of our screens. It's kind of goes in. There's a little bio-nade Enemy just gets deleted with the disruptive shot as well from Nahtokato And now Naeno, Meteor Strike, Overclock, almost got the sound barrier as well Actually have so much to play off of and it just, look at this Oh, and the bio-nade to cover it up. Soul is flattening and then blasted to tomorrow And this has been a not a cuddle man as well talked about these DPS needing to show up. She's certainly done that oh A hundred percent look. Well, I wish they're kind of got stopped. Yeah, she should get out The new junk city or excuse me knee-on junction Like what do you do if you actually will be on at this point you a minute left? Oh Oh, that was an empowered nano punch. That, that. Oh my god, that was just filthy from Amity. It's still the sound barrier in case, you know, whether it be the Skravenic Flux or the Dead Eye, anything that pops up here from JBLB on early can't just be answered right away from X-raying. Ooh, what a great slip there. On the envy. Do they have the damage up? Absolutely not. Not a question on that. My own name comes in. And it's canceled. Keep everyone up. Amity just does a casual 180, smacks sigma in the ankles, and Santi, that's it. Like, that's the old fight, gone. You're actually Blevillon. Amity, I'm sorry I ever doubted you. Like, I was just, this is an unreal performance right now on the doofus. 20 seconds left. The one benefit here for Blevillon, you still have Sanctuary, you still have the Deadeye to play around, but now it's still a feeder strike, and a spree to worry about on the other side. The quality of Ultimates is just so much better for Team Missing X-ray that they have off-amity, use hers, and more is just a dodge, just so... Hick and... yeah, and that's it. Nickman, at least the spree in the front, and no one else consistently get a touch on this point. It's really just Santhe. You were the best to try to burst someone down on the last second D.Va swapped, but even that will not be enough forward to X-Ray to make the comeback team missing X-Ray. Come away with neon junction and one of the most chaotic maps we've seen in a hot minutes. And that's their match point right there. What a statement win. Like that just screams that we're here, we want to be the number three team. And no matter what Gluvion throws at us, it's not going to matter. Winzer had some great play. I kind of feel bad for her because she had some wonderful performances on this map But it's just again. They turned it into TDM and with that kind of comp sigmas It's like what's happening. There's so much going on and the accretion Yes, you can kind of stop it a little bit But a you have to hit a very quick movie target and be the rest of your team We saw the one the nano empowered punch like that support line just gone It was just an unreal performance on the defense here from team missing x-ray to set themselves up on serious point. Yeah, things that shouldn't happen definitely happen in that map. A lot happened that shouldn't happen, that's it. And from that insane like overtime push that you know it was like a 1v5 and Amity managed to stall long enough for like the entire rest of her team to get back and build up that should happen. We played defense a word sound on the doom. So I think things to take away for extra below the oaks. That is a loss that hurts. They still have one more map pick that they get to choose going ahead and it's gonna have to be finished in front of extra below the own want a chance at claiming a top three spots. We're gonna go ahead send it to a quick break and we'll come back with the conclusion of our lower semis right after this. You It's crazy, look back at the start of this map, X-ray was one fight away from this not anything on point A. And then just kind of slowly push themselves through even 40 seconds there, even 20 seconds here. 40 meters only during second phase. And there's some very well-placed ultimates. Everything starts putting itself together. A very impressive stall during second phase to kind of keep it in third phase I should say to keep it going. Just a lot of ifs if we can do this if they can do that and all those ifs started to work out at the end and it was just an unbelievable performance here from x-ray and a kind of heartbreaker for julybion who looked great during the first half of this map it definitely at least on the attack it felt like that team isn't actually had to find out what the reality where everything went right for them to get the push that they have and that is what happened on this defense though completely different tail It was scrappy actually beyond they just flat out didn't know what to do about all of these people just running around the back line Was a gravity smashing people against walls not okado getting these crazy pics from range was also been looking stellar and Cameron who pulled out the first bit of all now that we've seen in this series as well That was a bit of a highlight to there and it leaves actually be on with a pretty tricky spot to be in because now your options are go to escort and Play a map that other than chambali isn't too fitting for a demon Or you pick push and hope that amity decides to keep the doom fist in the pocket Or disbanded out honestly I'm pushing for a doom fist band right now in 2026 but there's no way but that's just kind of where we're at Great to the doom fist once you reintroduce the jet pack cat May see some issues if we see again more of that the sky noon the cat bastion as well That could give the Doomfist a lot of trouble and it may just naturally ban out that hero Just with the plate of it. Well, you never know, but yeah, Esperanza call sale or push maps But it is gonna be escort route 66 Shambali junkertown We were talking about earlier. We could see this junkertown It's a little bit later than we thought it was going to be, but it is eventually pulled and I wouldn't say this is necessarily a doom map. It's not, but does anybody care about that? Anybody probably doesn't. What Djibbubio do care about is the honor that we saw a bit from Cameron caused a lot of issues. Returrying the adjunctions of that will be banned away. Okay. Okay, I think it makes sense, uh, Cameron, bit of a threat, and I don't think you necessarily want to put, uh, Anna out there without like a major Or to back it up just giving her hero pools Was like kind of in the back of my mind as a concern with the sigma sandy Other than you know, when she's getting punched into a wall Is pretty good at sigma and she can make it work. That is now gone What do you do instead is the question is we're gonna get that hazard to come out I don't feel like this is a great map for it It's one of the few other things that we have seen her try is demon It's just the safer option if you can guarantee that a mirror is gonna happen Do we just see like a random domino you have thrown into the mix here on J town? I was thinking Reinhardt We have seen some Reinhardt here and there If I remember correctly, it did kind of get decimated, I think it was by Timeless X Missing, it was against. Okay, well, that's Timeless X Missing. Yes, and that is obviously, well, same Missing, different, you know, but not Timeless at X-Ray. I could see it working, but I could see Amity being like, oh, we're doing a rhyme, let's go, and just match it. which could return some worry here into the series but for now it's not going to be. St. George will go back to the demon that she's had success throughout this series. Paulette will go on to the Ellari. This is expected she's kind of pulled this out any sort of poke map like this and she'll return to the Freya that we saw some pretty decent results from. On the other side I'm I'm just gonna wait, honestly. Like, there could be a lot that changes within 10 seconds of these doors opening. Like, come on, you wanted to see that big winter crab. You know who did. Oh, oh, yeah. But now, McMahon is a reasonable individual and will swap over to Shion. But we'll be, for sure, the Mauga and Gwiyong from crowd. We had a ton of Gwiyong on this tournament and the only spot that we've seen him is on maps. And then, just escort maps, in particular, his poke damage is so good If you can manage to land little water balls that are flying around a bit so far, X will be on... Give it up a lot of ground so they are fully back around this counter. The corner is Nickman. He's on the platform. She's gonna buy them. Yeah, the Bargain can give a lot of issues here to Santee. Just that shield to get deleted right away. You can see just the jump right now onto the deal. Everybody's gotta be careful to stuff by the payload. She's fine. She's got a Suzu from Cameron. She'll have the other hand. Can't outside the same floor. Very dead at this point in time. As the flammable, the team missing x-ray, I managed to put the x-ray on him to kind of backfired there. I think we're a little too spread out on their angles, and I'll take some time to regroup. Yeah, just a little bit of time. It's still kind of this outside angle that Cronin can just slowly throw some orbs away. Uh, no real worry about some damage being returned. And, well, one real fight that kinda just got extended out now already, two minutes off the clock. Uh... Hmm. You saw the moira swapping, like, hmmm. Yeah. I was like, are we sure? Are we sure this is what we're wanting to do? But I know what's safe to sure about. Yeah, Mikman, I think, was just a little too far ahead and it had ants in their pants there. All that died there at Amity, it was going for, and Sholes got cooking as well. this map so far jessies got to just bet the dps thing a favorite extra plume y'all and as i say that shawl uh definitely been lucky on that just said just look down here if i can't see them they can't get a headshot you know it's it's it's just the the easiest play in the book um yeah this this vlog is really strongly right now uh from next thing s sir missing x-ray i was just a some ultimates now coming around the bend, but so is Enforced and Lumi, everything but that Katsuni rush. Available for the defense, 3 ultimates here from Missing X-Ray, and Shelds coming to get out of harm's way immediately wait for the skull to shunt the line. Now, you'll be the title blast, I'm gonna mount a condo first and I guarantee she can be in the backline, at least until Santee says otherwise with her limit break, so as a result of 1 for 1, the Missing is important here, and I think it's more than Missing A DPS. Can you fight from Amity onto the point where the Bola shot chucked in from downtown, or not downtown, point blank rather, out of Sholp. Just to make sure that there won't be anything too crazy to come out of it. That's kind of the big fight there. Jesse, the team missing X-Ray needed to get this going as they are making some crazy swaps. Yeah, Amity goes over to the wrecking ball for the final 30 seconds of this one. They can still hold onto that pulse bomb. Need a big play from them to kind of keep his back going as all those ults extinguished for Diplomio and Paulette now getting bounced around. But that's a lot of cooldowns for us now, including Suzu and Paulette and Envy. Not in a great position. Neither's Envy. She's currently six feet under the ground. Needed her to stay alive. Ideally, get a touch. As I mentioned, stalling out this point even further. But they wrote for Nickman. Seemed to have just been gotten installed. At least they need to do someone needs to get back to the point really touch no way jessy bit but sorry that's that's painful that that that's an ERV visit right now that's wow one of the most brutal C9s we've seen in a while and you can see a few members of extra video and trying to run back but I think all the movement abilities were extinguished trying to go wait and finish off a lot of those kills oh that's awesome wow that's very cool and I look at this now Camron has to get soon a rush 20 away from the catnap from crumb a lot of these pieces are going to start lining up here for x-ray yeah and this is you know the fight that should not have been won. Come is true again. Let's see if they can work the same sort of magic they did as Neon Adjunction. Not after the start. Now Takato will get run at as the Blue Carp is laid out for Santee. The Living Freak as well. Ash really wants to make sure that this fight can be shut down. The only one that really connected with the value was the backline. TP'd on out. So do you see them on a progress game here for Team Missing X-rays? They'll have resources for this next battle. And Amity's just sticking around trying to get some early visiting, but also Amity just got a chill for a moment, Windsor hunting her down, but eventually Amity is going to be able to escape, but Vikmin doesn't have that same fortune. That crumb though, let's get away with murder, or at least set up the murder on the pallet there. And Nickon will get back in a lot faster, that's why you needed to pick the crumb And with that happen, every pull that we invested from Amity to TP, in the help of Sandy, that's a bit more disastrous. You don't know how they need support right now. If you are extra blame of your own, they have to play incredibly safe. But thankfully, Amity sides the back off as well. The reinforcement's still not here for missing X-ray, so it can't follow up on the Kiroko being missing and now 20 seconds remaining. Still, this dead eye from show may just be used to kind of fend off Amity. force her to play a little bit on and off position. I think it's gonna use to stop Katnip and crumb and out of Kato. Out of that set up, but she's done three in show space and she didn't have time to charge up one of her own. The Cowboys set and drawn in their own ultimates. Demosing X-ray, a real chance of getting it two third points, but Santi, you're best to shut it down. There's no limit break. Next up, I'm doing a couple of people, but nothing that can't be cleansed away. Both of them now for Mic Man, that one, won't play flying, that's Mark. But it forces cool down. Paulette's turn now. With her own captain of Sun, shuts down. They also can't stay, leaving Shoal open, user on Ultimate, Hicks calm well enough to finish off with Flash Bang. And it seems like this should be the end of the road, for Team Missing X-Ray. They're just banking on playing slow, getting camera back to the consumed A rush, and that is their only chance at keeping it going. With camera falling, this low health bar for Mamadi is not going to last much longer. These kids need to come in and they need to come in fast. Katsune rush, now out from Envy. They can't stay on the point. Amity eventually will hit zero, problem to follow, and it looked dicey for a bit. We never want a quite close fight over when Z-Missing X-rays there. But as we can say it, round one is officially complete. And out of the bar, that has been set. I was about to say that the magic at some point has to run out here. It's some of these late fights for Z-Missing X-Rasso. I am going to build up that minefield like oh my god if you know she lends this things you get dicey again we could see another overtime tap but not the case still a map that overall to blue vio has handled very well uh good god 17 and 1 for winter so far this map that is that is quite daunting uh if you are on the other side of it but now we get to see obviously probably not the wrecking ball or or maybe the wrecking ball granted last time I said probably not a hero on defense it worked out very well for amity we will never question her we lost that privilege honestly okay she's going back never mind she's running back to spawn that's a bit more reasonable all right yeah there we go I like that a lot better I think the Mowgli experiment amity just too much damage like between the the Fran the tracer and whatnot so a bit more stable in that regard as they let the rule out do you think winter gets a it's a shot off here or is it like a I think a shot off yes landing probably not hang you have some confidence in winter she's got this I believe in her Okay. You know what? Too shat. We'll move on. Back over to the tracer. He goes winter. It's good. We'll see what McMinn is currently posting up on. It's also on for signature. Again, in this raid. Yeah. I'm a little dicey there, but already, you can see Santi was trying to take over that high ground control, not being given up on X-ray, but Windsor is still on the prowl of my coast. Yeah, Crumb, didn't have the boosters, or the height to escape the tracers of Clutch's new Windsor. I think it's been the one picking up the slack for X-Truel Neon, when it's been needed to a second final blow. Coming in for her, AmityDMex, and we're sticking her down the tablet here. Honestly boy cat is you're not gonna get how many back in this fight? No, this is just going to be a reset and a very Swift push here just over a minute a minute two seconds to get all the way through joker town first phase Obviously all of us have tried to get through this map at times during ranks. It usually not the case Is it at least another we can test that goes into it show already in a great position All forcing out that early angle front missing x-ray now has to pin it as a giant mech is in their face Yeah, he's not really one to mess with in close close combat. I'm also either pretty back enough. Oops Yeah, big sword 90 crossbar. What's gonna win? Well, I will be both shots here for both fraas, but I don't want me to pull the trigger knowing the dashes are online at the time, at the Nado Kado, I just stuck in the middle of nowhere and I didn't really have the full balance to get across the board, so it takes advantage of it. And there goes that bullet shot on the ammoning to slow her down and because she used the limit break, she can't get the follow up on it, it has to be on the mic man. It turned out to grab the fray at the end of the day, but this isn't quite the next to the game. They want to end this now, that reaches all the way up on the camera through the high room, Halette has the range to help finish off these final blows while they wait for shoulder return to that client is Jesse this is a speed run of the map it might just be done here yeah it feels like it unless Karen can get back as the Kitsune Rush to give the rest of their team a chance. Bolo shot as well from battle Kato but it's going to be tough. Yeah it's gonna be a Nodokato listen and there's no other way and they can recall all ready gone Nodokato the only real ultimate still left to go. It's blindly but the Suzu is still there to pull out There's the cat now in the back from the crumb. Santee picked up and wrapped over as the new cat toy there for Crumb. But she gets a life for it. All the excitement is gone. This payload has to be contested. The numbers even now, with that trade out on the sole. But it has to be, again, McMahon living to get this point, making sure that Santee is not allowed to get the Met back. But it's looking so dicey. Nato Kato is under a lot of pressure on this high ground between both the tracer in every inviting the cool-knife from below. Denty denied at the final seconds after a remake and it seems that somehow Subway just see the missing x-ray have done the thing they do best and it is scrap it out in these final moments and come in clutch. The cardiac kids strike again. What is happening in this series with missing x-ray and these very squeaky fights at the end of objectives or in overtime it just feels like that is when this team is at their best and now another full shot off the way limit break pulse all these big ultimates will start to line up here for team missing x-ray in just a moment jabilio and if nothing to pop early try and get ahead of it they just have to play the eco fight. With the amount of time that you have there is so much room for xjabilio to build up like that big gun flight that can get you over for this finish line that is literally right there. So I'm not too worried about that, it's just how can they get these resources out of Team Missing X-Rite, and it means you have to take these poke battles and either win those out, or you have to make sure the fight goes long, full spawn goes through, and that is on the Santee Envy, one place, one time the TP, that's true for Nickman completely solo, and these DPS are lighting it up for Team Missing X-Rite. Just kill after kill after kill for this DPS line and the Katsune rushes how? For camera, but you will be out and play it right no ultimates committed Just play the eco fight drain a lot of the ultimate's out from x-ray and now with a minute 40 left So many ultimates available In this in to be honest the captain something call that she has been lights out with it so far peck hat, half of sun goes out, just if the woman not a caught up, but that's all you need. There is a new yachty in the back line with no one else. The anchor down onto this payload, limit break is up now for Santi as well, but she's not even gonna need it with the pace that this fight is going at X to play the on. Without the risky there for a second, they will find a way to get this payload to its final destination and will guarantee a map flight finish for a lower semi-finals. We get to head over to push for the final map of this series. And you know, we're talking about, hey, this curse, a 3-0 curse is broke. What, how about a map five here to start off? Championship Sunday, this was the pulse that kind of, that gave X-ray at least one more fight, eliminating both the tank and Envy. But we were wondering when this Junkertown pick was going to come out. We had a feeling it was going to be relatively soon and it indeed does convert over to a map when when this team Needs it the most back against the wall and now it's plus which it creates two map type a two maps You get the pick from here. It's probably the least impactful map pick of the entire series I think the little pressure when it comes to this final map pick But I think the the scale has get definitely gone up I am seeing people like, you know, winter finding her footing as much as she has throughout this series It's mind you typically not a tracer she on player Definitely been more of like this like sniper kind of hop-off player that I remember from her days, especially In her current face, but master's competition as well So and seeing the impact she's been able to have has been kind of ridiculous It's reflected in the statistics and extra beyond and kind of using her power to like get these off solo kills out of nowhere and push off of it It's a beautiful to see some of these combination plays come out And now as we head into this final map, it's really going to be a question of does missing x-ray during some of these graphic fights Find that you know that extra pick or two that they seem to just find all the time throughout the series Arlegibilavion finally shut the door. That's the stakes that we have. Obviously the winner, they don't really get that much of a break here, Molly. They're going right into a game against Kafei Fika, who's been offered a ton of VOD footage during this series. You're seeing every possible look between these two teams. They'll be taking a lot of notes as this series goes on as they await the winner. winner but this this is where it all comes down to obviously Colosseum and Esperanza are the only two maps that can be picked here from missing x-ray like do they go back just to the Doomfist Molly if they it's probably Esperanza out of those two but I would lean toward just kind of sticking with the demon here and then going back to this double flanker setup that worked really well during New York City. I think the hard part with the double flanker is you take advantage of the shore sightlines where both these prongs and coliseum have these really long ones and if you're leaving them open to be contested I think it's a bit rough especially because neither tracer or sheon have great vertical uh verticality in general those are uh I need to keep my feet on the ground type of heroes so I honestly I don't think the map pick depends all that much it's more these that. I mean, we're not going to be able to do that. We're not going to be able to do that. We're not going to be able to do that. We're not interested in. We have not had a demon band so far. That is still on the table. If we really wanted to shake things up, although I don't think neither of these teams do. And we also have a jetpack cat ban from the extra living on if they want to pull that one out as well. But they didn't seem to have a problem really dealing with that, especially with that last map and they were not more dive heavy for some of our teams, but I don't know. Is this the time that we see the hazard or even the toothpaste come out again? It definitely could. It leaves the door open. At least for me, it screams, I return to that double flanker comp with the Sheehan and the tracer. Especially the Sheehan, there's so many different avenues where you can just quickly drive by with the motorcycles. So it's definitely screwing to me that direction. I will say Freya and Sojourn is still pretty decent on this map. There's a lot of long side angles and some high ground for those heroes to play around. It's actually the D.Va that is going to be banned, which to me seems more, hey, we may play Doom. So let's protect that. Oh, and something that could be played in response is the D.Va. So let's eliminate one of those peel options on tank. Yeah, I think that's a good call there. I'm time was like missing and I'll see I bit it now to team missing x-rays all the tea and I saw the end And that's we almost got through the series almost got through it, but here is the Freya I can I'm seeing the future right now. It's gonna be cat noon versus cat noon Yeah, probably Unless it was that flanker set up. Yes. It's it's one of the two But the Freya eliminate a lot one of the best range pick soldier and is okay on this map But you would definitely lean towards the Freya Cassidy Especially if we know we're going towards more of a dime setup whether it be the demon or the doom fist or the hazard Whatever avenue we decide to run down That Cassidy regardless is going to be a great answer to any of those compositions. So Yeah, some Sky Noons could be the factor here of who finishes it fourth and who gets to make one of those podium places. And this is a, for one team it's the end of the road, for the next it's just the start of the longer road, right? If you're going to make it all the way from the finals from this match, you have to play against Cafe Fika in those other finals. Win that, which I guarantee one of these teams does manage to do that, it will not be a sweep. And then play again, I guess, timeless estimate, ex-missing in those grand finals. It is a lot of maps, a lot of high pressure competition. You have to stay focused for all these objectives and it all rides here on one push map. In the next two years, they've been having the, it's a story of two different teams, one team that hasn't been meeting expectations so far. And the other who has been surpassing them And it's just unfortunate that we just say goodbye to one of them here, but they'll finally be able to answer Who can move on who's worthy of that top three finish? I will say this is Probably the best you seem to move to build the own look in a while because like you said It's been a team that maybe just hasn't hit those expectations that a lot of people from the outside had going into this tournament They were seen as Kind of that very clear number three And it just hasn't maybe lived up to that so far. It's been a way more of a heated discussion between them and team missing x-ray So having this go all the way to five feels very fitting to see it Let's see if missing x-ray can complete that jump into the top three of two to blivvy own Can fend off the doubt fend off the haters still make it to that top three where I imagine they were kind of Positioning themselves and imagining what are this roster can make at a minimum a moment of truth as the team of us is at least being teased the answer for now is no it's basically just kind of a refresh of what we saw in Nepal to start this series we're gonna end it the same way that it started and it seems very fitting where these two teams kicked off and extra of the own they had the upper hands in that map number one it took them a little bit to get there which could be concerning his push all about this early momentum and how they can start things off right so what micman ends up swapping over to but i'm expecting whole mirror comps yeah it is the mirror that we start the series with it'll be what we end this series with early positioning advantage here for team missing x-ray and already a boss uh q over by jib-li-v-one so sorry we're hyping this software I guess it's an intense game, but I'll be just broke it. I'm so sad We almost had a full series to do without a pause. We did. We actually did technology has not been the kindest For calling our heroes this year It's okay. It's fine I mean rather get it out now before people actually just start like mid-blasting each other and then we have to pause it and then You just see a sky noon in the air pause. It's like well at some point That will come down So at least that's you know We're avoiding that. Oh, that's a new one. Keyboard died. How does a keyboard die? Are there wireless keyboards? Yeah, there are there are some. Is that what that is? I've never seen a wireless keyboard. I personally like my wired keyboard, but... Yeah, but I don't... At least some of our production staff have wireless keyboards, so we are not... Huh. Like a list of taking it places. I don't know. Like I just... True. I feel like one of the smaller, the mini keyboards, and you want to take it. Yeah, I can see it. That's cool. Okay. Well, hopefully she does some CPR on the keyboard and gets it back to functioning here momentarily. So, we'll see what that will look like. Or maybe swap over to your keyboard. I remember there was like, who was it? There was some player that was playing on a desk top with like a napkin as their mouse pad. But not in that type of situation. Keyboard is a backup and running pretty darn quick. All things considered, just look for a shot to our exchange, but the one that cut misses, the one that's shot, the land, and it's center. So team that's the x-ray down on the hits can, X-Split, and swords on forwards off the back of X-Split, just doing what she does best on this Cassidy. And this is why the attention was put onto this Cass ban earlier in the series. And new keyboard buff, I guess. Uh, her to Blue Vio during the first fight, but like I said, the show really popped off yesterday. One of the big reasons why she's going to Blue Vio, got the clean 3-0. She's already showing up in another do or die moment here for this roster. And now for missing out here, how do you want to try and find an answer to it? Well, you're gonna signal a caught on high ground and they get to good step one. You gotta find a way to shut down the show first. the fourth most because they can get everyone skipped and dropped on missing x-ray his head it's a nice save there from crumb and to get the cast to get out of danger but nickman not having a good play playing against winters continuing on the dominant one from the yijunka town match yeah look at this the core car percentage everybody kind of just having to chill out with the scat noon from shoal trying to find somebody in the back oh nothing Yeah, but oh you can't really shoot through the shield for everybody. At some point, a decision just to have to be made. And now I just open up the door here. Not only for missing x-rayed, but also for a sky unit of their own. I'm not going to take Nodokado up now, no counter-dead, I'm a match-it and shul, except that her face, as soon as she responded that last quarter, catch that man from Palette, but that one ends up going wide. Whereas the back, it'll be limited break out from Santee, and he didn't have the health bar to respond with one of her own instead. Try some getting the take advantage of Crumb's catnap, which at least that turns out to be a catthip. And this isn't really a tank, they got a base check Santee here. So she's relatively free to push up. Light is the double fan, the hammer there. I don't know how to call it. So box a little more time for team missing x-ray to get Amity back. Look at this artist. He's like, you know, just relax on the fans, right? Like just take a breather there for a minute. Three minutes gone. You know, it's neither team. Getting and taking even remotely close to it quite yet. Amity, though, has this limit break. Didn't get to use it last fight before the DMACC. Ehh, close enough. And Mignan is just struggling against Winter in these Tracer duels. I'm gonna give up so much Grounds. Even if they haven't been dying every time, and it was back to positive there, but... So, I thought that she was in the same spot, but not so much. Just leapfrogging over Amity, though, with a fancy footwork, guarantees the trade. And in my eyes, that's pretty good for how that could have gone. Winter, and I'm throwing Pulse Bomb out somewhere in the mix of all that. It will just be a lead though giving on over to Team MISRA. They're not to be careful without Amity No, Amity, but they will have another Sky News to work without their shoals again Didn't really get a ton of purchase during that last fight. So Still pretty decent advantage for missing x-ray and especially now that the cleanse is out Look at the Sky News though, not a Kato up and ready. It's TP and he will escape danger Nice point on the cat. You can just go up and down all over the place. Santy unfortunately ended up taking that bullet with the remainder of her shield and have the health to sustain much longer from that anyway. So it'll be the tank down, a bit of a flip for what Team is next, right? I've been experiencing thus far is, actually, I don't have a really good answer. Their Katsune rush was just hiding entirely and this will be the four-and-spawned caps. Yeah, Missing X-Ray just laid out the Katsune, there's no reason to push into it when you know there's no tank to really follow up on that extra speed that the rush gives, so now Cameron has one of their own to just continue this momentum forward. Freaketsune rush here, and I say free, but they had to use Suzu and a lot more to be invested to make sure of standing some steam roll back. Oh, and that works. Dang, those are like the piata over at the top of Team Missing X-Ray. That will be the milk, like, set and done. See what happens when Amity actually manages to stay at mech. It's a little scary, perhaps you would be able to... Yeah, a scary situation. Do not recommend if you are on the opposing team, just amity running the shop. Now 70 meters in count and this lead continuing to grow here for missing extra, but won't stick around. Aggregiously long, not everybody's back quite yet, so that's kind of chill on that one. Ooh, that is a long range women break down to shawl and uh, don't really want to be stuck with Crom in the small room as she taunts her on the way out. Uh, that stuff one there, we're extra on the young, they just haven't had the chance to use any of the waltz. You're missing x-ray. I've been staggering theirs out so perfectly. And even there, Santee, this guy got staggered out, but I believe she got, yeah, she got the respawn. with Envy and Paulette, which is at least one positive. Windsor after playing super well on the tracer first half of this map goes over to the Bastion, which starts turning the tides over on the plow. Yeah, I think it was only because you wanted to keep the fronts, but your bottom line was destroyed. So what can you do, not a color grab? You're getting us the x-ray, and they're marching around in this final order. Your only hope is Cat Eye. Yeah, Cat Eye here from Shull Paulette. Ideally, you want to keep this Katsune Rush if you're Envy, but I feel like if Cameron uses theirs, Envy will have no choice but to use hers in response. But eventually, he's got to continue building these ultimates and try not to use everything at once. and so you guys face though I think fighting in this spot at least give you some more time but team is an x-ray they're like Oh, they're gonna follow the plot. Let's just send it at the back line so falls instantly the fashion not a care of the world Given from team missing x-ray as they turn their sights to the players on the ground Santee the one that attempt to clutch this up slices Cameron in half against the mecht herself There's little people left remaining for extra move you own to keep these battle going it is all not okato So, lighting up the kill feed, winter the bastion, the last hope here, be the one to finally clutch this up for extra blivion, but that is a near 100 meter deficit and they only have 2 minutes 40 seconds to fix it. They're not even ticked, we're not gonna get either, so it's gonna be a little bit of a wait if the spot can start getting pushed in that direction. The Maga will be held here from Sanji, not a swap that'll go immediately back. A little bit more trouble here for Amity. There's a whole lot of damage now, but I can't really crumb to worry about. I'll be much safer. We'll see Team Missing X-ray play. I think McMinty, I'm swapping over seeing that there is no more Tracer. I have to worry about that family has more star performances on that, but it's limit breaking again onto the cast and duo. And talking to Amity has prevented over the course of this series, has not missed one yet. Next you'll leave me home or send right back to their own spawn rooms. Yeah, of all the combinations to kind of shut down all the impressive packages in the game, it's just a little break into the sky. In Shulimpallet, both are staggered out. Obviously, spawns did reset here for missing X-ray, but Jamilville needed any sort of bonus time to start this comeback. Still a 97 meter lead. 14 missing X-ray. single moment that passes by it feels like team missing x-ray getting one step closer to that lower final. This is uh it's coming down to western dual right here both Cassidy's in tow of their jetpack cats looking for an angle in the back line is Powelette that's so nicely swinging the Cassidy around but along the pattern gets the better of the dual that's two-set bound to the grave and accessibility on down their main We had just a disaster fight there for Jigli Bieland and obviously Katsunea rush will be used during this fight with the artillery strike, then you have a cage and maybe a catnap here from Paulette. The following, start rotating those ults through. If you see this thing actually right, it's okay if you lose this next fight, just build up the rest of those ultimates, it takes you all at once and this series is over. in an ideal situation the fewer buttons you press the better but they say screw that we're pressing every single support also they want to win it here and now but it is a scrap 2v2 but it's amity that is still alive the cage flight never happened Jesse extra below the on they're gonna be on the payload because they have no other options but you're not gonna get reinforcements anytime soon no especially because Paulette has to stay here to at least give some sort of contest it's not like winter's already low and getting ready I can test for long. Someone has to touch as well, but there's nobody can get to the point. The Saat 30, if you spray puts them in their final grave team, missing an X-Rag, we'll pull it off again and move on to the lower finals. This team just does not quit modeling. There's been several times this series, especially a few during, you know, me on junction as well as Junkertown where this team seemed out, out of it. And even though they lose Drumper Town, there's still so many moments where the momentum never fully swayed back in the other direction. They're still a little hold it down and team missing x-ray guaranteed top three finish. And they are the right for a rematch against Cafe Fika in that lower bracket final to make the Grands. And it is a sad little bow out here for X Jablouvillon falling to the two or three defeats. Obviously not the end finish that they were hoping for from this tournament, but still an excellent series to lose on Yeah, I think the team missing x-ray. I continue to surpass those expectations It's a team that you know a lot of these players have been around for hot minute I'm looking really at McMinnon not a caught-up in particular but Newcomers and Cameron and crumb amity has been slowly paving her way up as well like this is a squad that has some serious potential. They're in a great meta as well for where their strengths are. And especially Amity's ability to pull out all of these weird heroes at a moment's notice that no team is really prepared for. It is just insane. Things that should not be happening come true. And it's largely because of her role in this tank position. Yeah, it's kind of crazy. Just some of the plays that Amity would pop off with whether it be the limit breaks in the sky, or even we saw earlier with the Doomfist, right? Like, there's so many different moments here that's like, it shouldn't work, but it does. And that sometimes is just the magic you need on a day like this to where it's a long road. If they want to try to win this Kalliard Heroes Championship, if they need to win three series back to back to back, obviously, probably wanted this first one to be a little bit shorter than going all the way to map five, but still an excellent start here. a potentially very long evening for missing x-ray. We saw them attempt to take the same journey in the seeding tournament as well. And if I recall, Jesse went six maps. So I think there is some serious potential for this to go further. This is the energy that we'll have to keep seeing from team missing x-ray if they want to continue all the way to those finals. But for now, we're going to go ahead and send it to a quick break. We're going to get a member of team missing x-ray up here on the desk with us for a quick interview. Stay with us, we'll be back in just a little bit. Welcome back again to the championship Sunday for the calling all heroes 2026 season our lower finals have just wrapped up Team missing x-ray are moving on to face against cafe Fika in the lower finals and one player Managed to stand out against the rest and weird weird hero picks sure we questioned her a bit We will never make that mistake again. We apologize, but it is our pleasure to announce amity as our whoo fruit wellness MVP of our lower senes and you are about to see just why Yeah, basically everything that this team needed her to be she was there just Absolutely perfect. So a lot of these swaps again. We're sure about the dude red like we see the Duke fist come out on the enjoy It's like all right. Hold up this is this actually happening like is this going to work? Maybe a little bit shaky at first, but as soon as she zeroed in it was unbelievable from the rest of the series. And again, still one of the best that we've seen on Demon as well throughout this entire tournament. So, you know, you could tell she was locked in ready to go, and a big reason why Team Missing X were able to turn this series around were several points. It really didn't feel like they were going to be staying in it. Even that punch out of the the gravid flux same sort of tire back line yes unreal performance you can take just makes it look easy I think that like what stands out to me like her ability to identify the ebb and flow of these fights it's very very rare that we see her overextended we're just in hey why is my tank over there kind of position she manages to make these fights close to make them scrappy even when they and the whole of team missing x-ray is definitely spearheaded by her and I'm very excited about that we get to have an interview set up with Amity as well. So she's going to join us here. Amity, first of all, congratulations on making it again. Two of the little refinals, how does it feel to be a top three guaranteed finisher into calling on heroes 20-26 season? If yours really good, I'm happy that we could get here, but the job's not done, and I like it to be in finals. Obviously this series, a lot of hurdles that you all went through, take me to where, we're going to go back to neon junction here for a sec, the doom fist pick. We were admittedly a little hesitant to trust it at first, but what was the thought process behind it and obviously it worked out for you all very well at the end of the map. I find that like when teams play like the Sigma Bunker comp, especially with the 2T, they don't know what to do against the Doomfist. I think most people don't know how to play against the Doomfist and when you're all stacked and grouped like that, it makes I think it was a good pick and I was confident. My teammates were confident in me, but I was able to destroy them. Yeah, for sure. It worked out great over there on Neon Junction. And there was a few times across a few maps to where it felt like Team Missing X, right? We're out of it, like out of the fight, out of the round or the map. And you all just find a way to fight back into the is that just something you all have kind of realized is maybe just kind of a Secret bonus for this team. Talk me through some of those late moments to where you just pull some of these fights back To be honest, McMahon is like a really big after that they have really great calls during the midfights they're They're just finding these opportunities in the mid-fights and making the call, it's what we need to like make a boss fight winnable. And they played really well this series and they're going to play well in our next match as well. Absolutely. And talking about that next match, you're rematching against Caffe Fika. You had a bit of a run-in against in those upper finals. You ended up getting swept there, but now kind of approaching this for the second time. Where are your heads at, I think, going into this match, especially with looking to get it different? I think we just have a different mindset going into the match. I think when we played them before in the upper bracket, I think we had a poorer mindset and it led us not performing our best. But today I think everyone's ready to win. We came in with the correct mindset and we We hope that was a good game. Heck, yeah, that is what we like to hear, Anthony. Thank you so much for taking the time to join us here on the desk today for an interview. Maybe we'll see you back after this next match, but we'll have to go ahead and wait and see. Good luck on your next game. And a lot of confidence, I think, from this team to be warranted. I do think that you have to approach this cafe. Fika Ross there with much more caution, though, than he would have actually been on. always a totally different approach i think when you're going against the team like cafe fika uh... you just know the quality that is there and obviously uh... if you're team is an x-ray you did just lose to them in the upper bracket semi-finals so very recent defeat a lot of good notes to go back on but even during the seating tournament when it was a lower final there created that would win all the way to six uh... but it was a another win here for cafe fika so What changes can be made now? Obviously, there's a doomfist is an extra little flavor that is thrown in But I think anybody said it everybody has to be clicking and then the right mindset to pull the upset Because kind of Fika have one thing on their mind and that is getting back to that grand finals so they can get an upset Yeah, I think for team missing x-rays looking like you got to find the one reality out of a million You can walk in and make it all the way to those finals If not come in the champions of the entire season so far We are gonna go ahead take another fast break get our teams and lobbies that set up cafe fika versus team missing x-ray coming up right after this 2 of the top 3 teams that we have going into this Cafe Fika. I've been pretty solidly in that second spot so far this tournament. Jesse, have a rematch against Team Missing X-Ray who just took out X-Table Vioenon 5. Yeah, if honestly the one benefit here, if you're a Cafe Fika, you just got so much fine information that you could live-voter view for Team Missing X-Ray. Great, to some of that was probably during their warm-up scrim that, see how long that series went? uh... could maybe needed to be extended just a little bit uh... but no this is going to be a very interesting series because kind of a tale of two different series during the upper bracket of the sternum can't make a clean three zero that was a pushback from missing x-ray but it definitely felt like cafe were in control but when these two teams met in the city tournament it went all the way to six uh... so Which of these two series are we going to get time? We'll have to tell on that That's kind of what we heard. I'm gonna say in the interview just now as well as that Everything especially in the mindset has to be going right or team missing x-ray. They cannot get down on their cells They cannot start to doubt their own abilities against this team But Jesse if there is a team that will push them on its it's cafe Fika and this is and this is all the step one of two You still have timeless X missing and that's waiting in the finals for the victor of this match right here Let's take a look though at this cafe figure roster and we'll see why they're so Unbelievably hyped up for what they are. We mentioned that amity is like one of the best demons in this tournament Hitori that's the best I don't think there's a guy in my mind that she has been a kind of far and above The rest of the competition when it has come to this hero Hitori, we said at the very beginning, I think of this term of this is a hero that just screams Hitori's playstyle and that is just become true She's loving abs every single minute on the character so far it feels like and it's been a big reason why Kaffir Fika has made this run granted stumbled a little bit in that upper bracket final not able to get the job done But first gotta get over team missing extra who's been really hot and also I will say missons been a great stand out for me She's been unbelievable on the flex DPS and it's given Hitori and ivory so much room to maneuver Yeah, and then we have on the opposite end of this the team that likes to scrap things gets a little messy here and And, uh, yeah, Amity, of course, we talked about her quite a bit, her presence on the tank. I think it's been a huge deciding factor on how these fights go, but the pop-off potential from both Nato Kato and Nickman is always lurking in the back of your mind. Those two, as well, are going to need to be on point when it comes to these DPS match-ups. I'm especially looking at Nickman, because they are the ones that will have to be against Misson in this situation. Nobody has been able to consistently match her tracer so far than the likes of peace. So large shask on their shoulders in particular when it comes to this game. It's very tall order. We even saw in that last series, Mickman has decent rounds, but also a lot of the time going against Winter, it was a little bit mixed. Winter was getting the better of them at times. So it's going to be a lot of pressure here on Mickman to get the job done, and at least at a minimum, keep missing away from just taking over the lobby. same thing goes, I think for both of these support lines, which we didn't talk about, I'd put them on decently even footing and Cameron and Crumb a bit newer to the scene than the likes of Juno and Cinnabar, but they've really seen some strong and more like consistent performances, some pop-off plays here and there, especially from Cameron on the Kiriko, which if we ever get some honor during the day, those Suzus are going to be needed if Juno is allowed to take up her signature pick will of course be starting out on control the Paul we're going to Paul we have been every single series in this entire double elimination bracket which I believe right 12 11 or 12 has been the Paul accepts one which was Samoa will this be the time will this be the time nope it's not we're playing the Paul one can one can dream that's a shocker but no Nepal has just been the go-to for every single team during this Tournament it really leans into that play style of the demon of the cat whether it be the bastion of the Cassidy It's a kind of play with it, and it's actually going to be in the may That is a day first here from cafe Fika a Little bit of a different look last time these two teams played Bastion was actually the first man from cafe Fika so taking away. We haven't really seen the main very much Okay, okay, what's happening? What's? We're being a little like you didn't make it kind of understandable, but we're not really playing that that much mercy You're touching mercy. You're that's I'm sorry. This is not We've seen it once or twice Like the pocket of farra on King's Road or something like not not in this specific Tournament bracket at least for a long time So I will be able to see it on the Paul and guarantee you that Yeah, that's gonna be interesting. Obviously, the Mercy, well, we won't see now. I don't think we'll even see it later with the band, but maybe there's something they know that we don't, but you just never know sometimes with some of these, but also something that, you know, that we need you guys to know. It's how much we love root in this tournament that have been sponsoring the championship weekend of calling our heroes and as we talked a little bit already about the zero winners it's fantastic you get all the kind of that zero in focus without the absolute crash at the end of it but it's also just about performing they also have a peptide skincare loan because I'm to support your everyday skincare routine whether be going to school going to work hanging out with your friends whatever it is it is the skin care to to help you with everything from in the classroom to in the gaming lifestyle with code radiant you can get 15% off while supporting the lgbtq foundations that route has with 35% of the proceeds are going to the charity so you get some wonderful stuff for yourself also helping out the community that we care about so much here at Colorado So make sure you scan the QR code or do the exclamation point of roots and chat to get the link to everything that they have over there. I go support a wonderful group that's helping us out this weekend. Yeah, fantastic. And I'm both of you and I too have had a chance to try out the skincare line. Really fun. I thought I'd been like a skincare person before, but it's very simple, easy to understand. And honestly, I felt like I actually have not dry skin anymore and it is great. So highly recommend Check that out as well. Again, you can even scan the QR code or type explanation like root in check They're getting ready for one point of the series apparently amity is MIA After her interview We don't have to call like a crazy search because we literally saw her like less than 10 minutes ago So, I'll get her in the wild momentarily because, yeah, Team Missing X-Ray, how do you need her to play the game? Just a little bit. Kind of an important piece, considering how the last series went. Our reigning Roots MVP, we're just waiting out here. And maybe just a little bit of a relax moment. Like, hey, the adrenaline's probably racing for a while. There are Team Missing X-Ray taking a second to breathe. brand new series ahead I would say if they win this series also another series after that so it could get a little bit rough here as long as they don't have that crash if they're using Xero with they won't have the crash but we'll see here how they want to address this Nepal because it was a 2-0 the last time these two teams met in that upper bracket so let's see if maybe a little that will be different, because over on Ilios, when these two teams met in the seeding tournament, who's that the X-Ray who won that first map? So, a little, hey, they're one and one so far. Somebody's gotta break the best of the three. In their defense, one, Ilios is a ball map. Tremendy plays a lot of ball, and Demon was not released yet, unfortunately. And I think that is, It's the biggest strength of both of these teams right now. I think has been their ability to pop off on this demon. The way that these, the styles will clash. I think again, the more scrappiness from Team Missing X-Ray, whereas it's kind of a methodical suppression, I think of this other cafe, Fika roster. It's like these slow methodical, we're gonna all funnel you into one place, make sure you can't take these angles and then pounce on one target. And now as we see, well, time will tell if that same kind of mission here will go through. Not a shock for Missing Escher, right? It's going to be the same exact comp that we just saw them play. It was about two hours ago at this point when that series started up for Cafe Fika before we get to see what it looks like. It's going to be the exact same. Just missing is the question mark, but you will also match the tracer. So slowly we've seen a lot of different looks throughout these last two weekends But this seems to be the metacom that we've settled on Yeah, this is especially for push and Some class point push control particular. This is what we're gonna be seeing nine times out of ten Let's see that try to get a little spicy something in the mix But positioning a little better for team missing x-ray They have more players on the point, plus the setup of Nato Kato on the opposite side of the high ground. She can just jump on down from the point, and Tori aren't struggling to get herself in the mix. Trunk's so incredibly low, but with the resources expended, well, Nato Kato just kind of goes forward and takes out Sinobar. But this is kind of the trade-off, I think that we've been seeing Cafe Fika be so good with, is that they know when to pull the Tori back. They're not as willing to just throw themselves through the flight. Guys team is next right and even if they give up percent. We'll be the ones actually win the fight It's a little bit more tempered here for cafe. She did with a Tory Which she used to be no for like okay. She's going balls to the wall like she's going for it It's definitely been a little bit more of a laid-back approach But it's just picking their moments picking their spots And she's been great at that throughout this tournament and already just games to lead But the Sky Noon is here now for Ivory, not a Kato, just a shot away. Well, as I say, just a shot away, much further, probably the different zip codes, ideally. With Ivory holding the Cat Noon somewhere over their heads. What's made of not a Kato's turn, and, uh, Kappy-Pika in much more exposed positions, but a great roll there, perfectly timed from Ivory, keeps them alive, and Kroken just flies too close to the Cat Noon, do you know who that exactly shirt was going on there? Yeah, I think that was even a little bit of an amity-esque limit break there from the Torrey, just sending it to the sky to try and take out Crumb, but it was already the elimination going through from Ivory. Hey, I think crumb just made a little bit too hungry for it, which I respect it. She she wanted it That's for sure, but I just didn't have the backup to finish off But now senior rushes for both squads missing still holding on to this pulse. Um, we'll have to slam it on the amity. I Think this big thing though is going to be the moment right if you can at any point force, you know You drop that suzu. It's go time Do you need it? The fight says Amity, Susie goes out, it's absolute chaos, evolving in the small room with the mega health pack, and even trade actually, I think the only difference is that one tank has a mech, the other does not. With the case of team missing x-ray, making this round last longer, they're pretty okay with how things turned out. Catnune Duo is up for Ivory at this point. Oh, it comes down. What does have her neck and crumb is just getting chasteled to tomorrow when this is the missing effect of people. Don't know how she does it, but somehow, someway, she just pulls these pigs out of thin air, single-handedly, flips the play back over. Catnune, the seal of the deal, and Cat they fake up, getting T and missing X-ray, their taste on this tempered play style, and it's not one that they want to have back. It's going to be an adjustment here for missing X-ray as the cleanups come through from Cafe Fika to lock this one down officially at 100 to 33. But they're so used to, I don't know what to say, like a super passive play style in that last game from X to Blivion. Now it's where it's just laid back, laid back, and then waiting for the pounce to come in and then finding that counter punch has been the big benefit for Cafe Fika. and you get Hitori, doesn't die, Ivory doesn't die, like that cannot happen if you are team missing X-Ray, if you want to have a chance here and continuing the slower bracket run. We've mentioned this a little bit earlier as well, is that team missing X-Ray have, especially in the DPS line, have super high highs and really low lows. Yes. And you need at least one DPS to be having one of those high highs at a time in order for you to stand a chance against one of these top teams. And I think Naotokato and Mikman have both been struggling to get a word in against their counterparts thus far. And this map in particular is all about positioning, and how you're controlling these angles, where you're going, and they're going to decide to stick together. They go to flip it entirely. And almost finds Juna has to use the switch step away very quickly and now missing. Just kind of matching that energy on the back side, and Amity is completely lost in the sauce. She's like, oh, maybe I can try to get away from the outside of the map, but he was just out rotated by the rest of the team. They saw three players going on a flank, like, okay, that's just one down amity in the frontline. She doesn't have the same support. It's going to work out in their favor. Cameron, a little bit of a straggler there. I've seen a lot of them. It's so split X-ray gets during that fight. That's something against the team, the caliber of Cafe Fika. It is going to get picked apart So that's again something you have to keep and be mindful of if you are missing x-ray You're not gonna get away with some of these you know miracle stalls and team death mask as fights That you got away with last series And I think that's starting to become the realization for this team There's the Susan hit in the ground simultaneously Obviously, let it break the camera and not a chance to survive the spinny move that Satori decided to pull Kafei Fika, lean. Maybe just everybody else from Missing X-Rays has to dip on. Now, Missin has been running the lobby a lot of the time, any time, not Okada or Mikami. Someone from Missing X-Rays trying to go on the flank, it is immediately being shut down by the tracer and that just allows so much more freedom for the rest of Kafei if you get us a stick to the game. It's kind of illegal, which has been able to get away with so far. An ambitious Katsune rush, I would say. Juno, especially not having the speed against Dmc x-ray and good opportunity to try to re-engage here with the catnap in from crumb that the pit goes through which is the different light just to make sure that Juno stays onto the tether. So Katme Fika, yeah lacking in a support which has got a lot more info to glory that is the Kirikou, you are missing. I agree in the sky with the cat and moon somewhere in the map, looking for some sort of trade back for it, which eventually kind of happens with the map, but it's not gonna last long. Mechpen finally gets their time to shine. We'll make sure Team XR gets a 0.0% going. At least something going their way. As soon as we say that on it, Trump gets sniped out of the sky, and this could get messy. I mean, autopilot just didn't have a choice there. You know you're going down one way or another you had to just get it a shot Tango's Rickman hold on does land. It's something You should still have a flight of flight 14 missing x-ray. Just maybe not with mcman Yeah I'm just gotta get there Yeah, not a cut out little I think to see if anybody was lurking near spawn but crumb I think at least yeah, it gets enough for overtime but this fight is going to kind of just tear apart here at the scene as the limit break goes down and there's just no answer. Now they instantly thrown out of mech. You didn't have the Suzu at that point in time and it's missing. Bringing out the broom once more. It's Cafe Fika. My goodness. They look as clean as a whisker on this first map. Jesse and this is the level of gameplay we expect from one of our top two seeded teams. They'll take the Paul. That was a very clean start to a series ideally if you're cafe Fika you want this as quick as possible Just try and get through and make it to that grand final that rematch You've probably been prepping all day for ever since the loss yesterday I hit Tori picking up exactly where she left off on this hero. Hey, it just completely shuts down The game plan here from missing x-ray and now we get to start seeing this pivot where do they want to go here in this next map. Last time they played, it was New Junk City, which we did already see today. And again, they played pretty well, I would say, on New Junk City. A lot of things went to plan. But obviously that is going to be known. And it was like 3-0 in favor of Cafe Fika last time around. So do you want to try and gamble with that again or pivot to something else? I think it's where the comfort is right now. I think for the team missing XA roster, you have to have some level of ego going into this game. It's like we can do this. We can beat them. But that one was really cool. I think from a, it wasn't even so much a mechanical level. I think it was like a fundamental how we are playing the game, choosing to position ourselves, how we are aiming. I think that's a lot harder to fix at least without like some serious discussion going into it. So I'm honestly expecting it to take a bit longer to come up with a map pick than it typically would for some of our teams But when you look at that Hitorian thigh Jesse like I think that's just wild It's what should not be allowed to happen But I think that's just a testament to how different this cafe feca's Playstyle is from every other team within this bracket so far. I think the one exception that of course is timeless X missing I also have a very rudimentary nailed-down type of play style But cafe Fika and this is what has made these two teams look miles above the rest Yeah, a big reason why missing x-rays had this jump I understand is because of the play on demon from amity And it just sucks right now that you could argue the only other demon player that's been solid in front Has been hit or I think saw hill has kind of entered that conversation too But yeah, it's just the form that Hattori is on right now on the zero is a little egregious It's it feels like there's nothing you can do to shut her down And then just when you think you maybe have an answer for her missing is going for 4k's in your back line So there it's a very tough Jenga puzzle for team missing extra to try and find a combination to But we've seen before obviously they've taken maps off this team before they almost won that seeding series I think that series during the seeding tournament, so Obviously still very possible here for x-ray to get it done, but not the start. They were hoping for on the ball No, no, no, not quite. I think this is the The chance for team missing x-ray to make a pivot in their gameplay play, whether it is with like an oddball take pick or just kind of how they're playing in general, even playing more tightly knit, I think would honestly help. There's been, I think crumb in particular, we've seen victim to that, just kind of being like, I can do this by myself as like, oh no, no, no, no, I can't. And I think there's been a lot of realizing that if I try to take these disadvantageous fights, the ability for Cafe Fika to kind of reel in what could the last few years. And it's been a long time. And it's been a long time. And it's turned into a more chaotic situation is a lot better than that of other teams. They have been playing so far. And it's almost the same thing we talked about with Santi, right that last series to where. Going into it was a lot of times where she was going in getting caught out. We're seeing kind of the same turn of amity right now is she's trying to play and make a lot of these similar plays that she got away with last series. just not given that same wiggle room that you maybe had an hour or two prior. But it will be now that power going into the hands of missing extra. It won't be New York City. And it'll actually be a neon junction. And granted, that was maybe the most dominant map that they had during that last series. So not a total shock that this is a potential. And the demon is going to be banned, maybe setting up more of the doon fist from Amity. Here's the issue though. Thor is just gonna play Malga. And it's a known factor now. It's not a mystery that they're trying to figure out mid-map. No, but like it's just... I don't feel like they do win a Malga though. That doesn't sound great on paper, but I mean, it's Amity. We said we made a deal after the last knee injunction. We are not gonna question Amity until the map is over, and even then, we probably won't question them. We might it really depends. We might lose you bad the follow it up though either We're doing some like weird Juno Briggs shenanigans But I have a feeling we're gonna be sticking to the cat if the cat's available the cat has to be played. Oh Yeah, the cat if they're you have to take it That was I was about to say like Juno on a senior from time to time I think we actually didn't see it last time on this map you and I cast it because that was the That was the Juno game, I believe, where she was actually on take. If you want to laugh, a good laugh, go back to, I think that was Day, was that Day 1? That was Day 1. Go back, watch that series, it's a great time. But we didn't really get to see it during that. It was actually the Hattori Anna that was playing really well. So now that they're back on their main roles for this lower bracket final, maybe we get to see a little bit more of that Anna pop out. They did ban the carry though, they banned the Lucio, which is strange. We did see from on the Lucio on the defense previously for Team Missing X-Ray, which we're going to talk about them for a second because we talked about weird tank picks. That was not one of them, but I am so down. Yeah, it is going to be, wow. Are we on Lifeweaver for sure? We are on the right weaver for sure. So the weaver is here to just kind of an escape, maybe because, again, obviously with the dominoes, there really isn't any movement. You have the push away, but that's really about it. You talk about that mercy that we were never gonna see it, Molly. Huh? Oh, well, we saw it for five seconds. You put an asterisk next to it, but it did get played. Okay, well, fair enough. You damage boosted your little maker took one shot good job yeah okay well the rest of them here for Cafe Pika they have every like infinitely more mobility in this team is an x-ray roster it's pretty scary if your name is Cameron or Amity in particular it's probably why they're putting crumb onto the life weaver but it's great start I mean Nickman silencing this in early on he just it's could not deal with in the earlier part of the day so a good good showing from team is an x-ray and And they see that Tori is just kind of off here by herself that should just be the cleanup kill unless she gets crumb, which apparently manages to hang on to her own life. Yeah, that's the little 3k here, 4 and out of Kato, and now Kevin Fika have a moment to reassess what they want to do. Probably not expecting the Domino as they were walking out of spawn, but let's stick everything for the time being. They just have to be playing around that shield break a little bit more. The initial plan was to kind of send Hitorion onto the flank, hope something opens up, but didn't necessarily work last time around. I don't think that Captain Figa's composition cannot work, it was honestly just a foul that Misson died as early as she did, so you kind of had Nickman being a thorn in your side with no one to really deal with that, so it's certainly tricky, with the Kebapot form on the back, here's Misson, and Jim Pitter and Patter and Roundback there. I didn't go for the chase as well know that she's working But What so ever that they put it retreated to main support of healing there I'm gonna go on the nano can't be a part of this fight And it comes to helping this tree of life can keep amity on your feet long enough for a regroup to come in And I bet she's just the last target everyone else focused down a first cafe figure all they needed was one old One ult, and that is it here. It'll be a cap on point A and add another 2 and a half minutes on the clock. It'll be a 4-15th going in the second phase. And granted, if you're extra, you at least didn't use anything too major, but you're also going to be without one of your main playmakers missing, still on the prowl, even as a terrain kind of delays us in case. It feels like we have the pre-fight staging, and then the missing Nickman fight, and then the main fight. But usually at that point one team either decides to back off, so there isn't really much of a main fight. At the start of this, a lot of early deaths here. But Ultraman's Invader Cafe Fika is now going to be decided to use something that you can screed there for Nickman, who pulls some fancy footwork with the help of Crumb to get out, but that wasn't an out-of-boost. Unto them as well, that was a lot of resource, or little to no gain. And now you're basically just banking on this Panopticon to at least delay a little bit more of this fight, but not a powder in a better position to get this bowl of shot off. But you have no answer right now to a lot of the damage coming out here from Cafe Fika. No, you do not. Oh, well done. I think our best choice is, um, maybe just counting the amount of blinks that she had available to get out of that, and just slam them against the wall. Uh, yeah, and that's good. for Team Missing X-ray. They needed to get themselves back on their feet, and a good attempt from Madogato knew she was dead anyways, but it's even poor disaster as Anthony's been knocked the con is munched on up by a poor E, a javelin spin, oh, yeah, they, Pika, just have every play in Team Missing X-ray's book memorized. Yeah, what could go wrong did go wrong for team missing x-ray during that fight in this car It's just gonna scroll into the end of second phase. There is going to be no substantial touch from missing x-ray It's another minute 30 on Four minutes answering final phase amity has given up on the dominant experiments goes over to the diva And I can't end it, Vickin picked off before these bites even truly begin, and that's just so much real estate for Captain Ithika to walk through now. Captain Ithika have had eyes out for Vickin, and knowing that they're in some sort of ratty position, trying to get the jump on him, and it has been biting D and Mizzing X right in the butt. So hopefully, we'll be a little more careful from here on out. This is a sketchy flight, say the very least. This natto onto somebody has got to be big, expecting it to be amity. There it is, throwing an out full sending it onto the back line, I agree there. And Juno says, you know what, screw that, there's no tank. I'm gonna go ahead and use my Katsumi rush down main. Prowler's doing her darkest to keep people on their feet, which given her credit, it worked out. Which can't really do much about the amity. She was still stuck in the back line after using the nano and all of her cooldowns to go in. But she had nothing left. Who are the fights? Two ultimates down and no progress. Cappy, Pika, wanna roll at home. Some emergency swaps in here for me missing. The X-ray and Mikman goes over to the ventures to get underground, stall the south for a little bit, pulse out, from missing, goes a little bit wide, and Natakato is able to find one with the widow, heck. Let's see that every day, but when it works, it works, it's a common swap, Mikman 2, out of the ventures, so at least he gets to go back, swap them all to normal heroes, and get some salt and put it. But now, Mikman, I don't know if they're really in a position to swap at this point. They may just have to stick at self destructors at least here for Amity, so she can get back in mech if the fight gets a little bit too dicey, but not a lot to work with, but Anokano lines up the shots, Shrutz down the tracer, he's been on fire. Yeah, I think that's needed, even if you end up dying at the end. Now the question is, who can hide fully from Ivory? Definitely not Amity. He does get the stuff that's struck the block in the remake. He connects the shots just a bit wide there out of body debris. Tatori desperate at the stay alive. So he'll set up the kill onto who from Team Missing X-Ray and up to the rest of the team. He closes it out and Cinnabar is down for that job. She's going in and taking names, but really turning them into bodies on the point. T.P. Suzu in from Cameron to keep adding the up, but he does not suit them very well for the rest of the flights. Enforcement's finally back down for Caffe Fika, aka Hattori Katnok who's down, and suddenly there's a new decoration in the backlight of Caffe Fika. It was the little rock muncher that they can pull up for the stall. It doesn't seem like they'll be much more stalling for Team Missing X-Rank. No real big tools to come up and both their support line has been dealt with. Madocato, David or Bess made this time big shrink quite a bit. It won't be enough to stop the pale entirely. and i said one one one on the clock for cafe thinker and importantly still above a minute so if it is it over time cap which it seems like overtime is where this team missing x-ray roster lives in half these serious uh... they will be no overtime push so and that is going to be a potentially important notes but i was busy a lot that still needs to be done uh... if that is even going to become a factory to take a look at the score board here Juno only died once, 11 and a half K healing for them, Hitori still popping off, 17 and 2, there's a lot still going right here and I think the Arisa, even though we don't necessarily see her at home right now, it is a great answer with the Demon being out. Amity, a lot of the things she's wanted to run are going to be shut down by that hero. But not this good work though. I'm a little nervous about it. I feel like Zarya is in a spot that she can feel unstoppable and then in an instant she gets melted and that's yes on she has a laser beam kind of calendars of Rissa in that way but it almost feels like if Hathory has the healing resource behind her which she absolutely will that's secure and I think Amity realizes that too. We'll look for the safer Sigma kick It's just again if you get the energy built up, you know She can wreck house, but it's just getting that up and as long as you can track the bubble usage It could be a very tricky time to play on that hero. So Like you said, Sigma it is And let's create a little more issues here for it's or but not if Ivory's there with the assistant and Mickman shut down early again. Is it like the third or fourth time already this map? Mickman just shouldn't have been there. He can't be walking down the main as a Shian when your tank is like behind you into their tank. Bad powering, unfortunate timing to be taking that. Mickman is actually going over to the freya. We do not see this pick from them a lot, but I think they're just fed up of taking these rules, not getting the position they want and want to go for the full burst and it caught Ivory off-guard. It does not have the mobility to get away They might be doing so much poke and you can just see Hitori using the Javs mid trying to live a little bit longer and nice little flick there big bit. Okay, I see you and After it took what all four minutes Last time here on point a it is going to take a fraction of that 14 missing x-ray but it is going to be a last second touch year for a missing but it won't matter. Five minutes on the time bank and this time it's the flexed DPS of Kappa Fika that goes down late. Unfortunately a lack of object permanence there from missing. We've got an avocado still camping out that room. But Amity is going to move on out of time. They're going to influx. She's going to use this to attempt to get further staggers. But just the hell for her to push up further so nothing really happens because of this. Yeah, saw cleanse go out was oh no no damage mitigation there Like said Pete's her head out and as soon as she does she just gets melted so a little bit rough this dead eye Yeah, I repop that first I everyone's those rules every day of the week Goodbye, not a car and crumb And that's just me everybody else don't know shortly after that I was kind of worried they'd get hit by a train there for a second. So good thing. They won that when they did I don't see that terrain has no mercy. You know, so it doesn't have mercy. Natto Kato right over to the widow finds Juno peeking a little bit too long, and then swaps it back around a very clever play there from the head scan. That's opened up so much. Now you just have the jetpack. That deals the work there. Yeah, Hitori knows that she cannot be up this far without it. Here you go. It doesn't have the time to back off. So we'll try to force the resources. Went for a catnap and uh, what was it? Yeah, I got a terror search combo. Uh, didn't that work out? Anyone's wondering just based on the kill feed, but good attempt. And just throw something out there, right? Again, try and drag some resources out of x-ray. You do actually get the catnap out of crumbs, so at least something. And bullhug. And bullhug. So you get something dragged out there, not a counter-up, like a very dangerous game there on the high ground, especially if you're sitting in this and has the pulse in hand. Yeah, that is a gutsy position, I gotta say, from Nahtakata, but maybe that's why they have so many of these pop-up plays. Like, she just finds these weird angles that she should not be allowed to be in, so no one expects her to be there. Uh, Super Rush stuff, out-provider team in the main portion is fighting Nahtakata. When we let her down, I did not have a chance to even blink. And Anders, that was base tanks in her direction. And it'll just be a pushback from Team Missing X, right? They don't really have any other tools that can chocolate him this fight. still three minutes to go here for missing actually there's also plenty of time to keep building these all so now you got the bow lock and the rivadik flexed 10 away from this denny but ivy already has it ready for the sky noon do you try popping it again early and try beating it out i wouldn't say so it was a rock almost becomes final destination for missing or misson just does missing things and gets a random hit and you don't need If you're shiny buttons very happy time Kappa-tika bleeding out some of this old Smith economy That rockers about to Rock our world a little bit. That was a great peak all the moment, but like you said all these Just be held this time not a cattle how it pops first All the job in the javelin game all cool down the torrent able silence not on Kata I'm not the dead I Is Or can't they think out the exception of the carries a wonderful javelin demissing x-ray and much to get this point here and now Yeah, it's just you know her a Tory who are up Cinnabar who would be normally the one that would kind of taxi somebody in she's in a respawn very late into this So I don't get anything cat nap I don't know what else that could have been for. Maybe Crumb saw an angle that we did maybe like Missin was lurking around there or Juno. Maybe. I don't know. By the way, you don't have Catnap anymore. It's the missing x-ray. It's an ultimate you can do without. It's not the best one. What I'm more worried about though is these dead eyes. Still, the catnap and the sky noon for Ivory granted, now that we're in third phase, gets little bit more tricky getting that up and going not as much space to work with but that is a cheeky little window so you know that you are away nobody's time to worry about the ceiling story is telling the right up into that that's just a checker corners moment it happens the next day but you don't expect the tank to be the one rat in there no but yeah just checker corner okay yeah my question you get not on kato it goes to the cat eye down to by the way pulls up the tank plus another and we're still going because that's not a car she can't just get one she has to get at at least four, he missed an x-ray, play to spin this map after all. And now I especially get to this very important time bank period of, yes, obviously I don't have that gravidic flux ready to go, but now I'm just trying to play to kind of mitigate how much of an OT advantage Kavithika may have, and what a rock! I eat rock, I afraid. And that's what Anthony said, not me, at the clarify. I won't have it for the rest of this fight, but I didn't cancel that ult, saying your team is working against I mean, if we're even on it with the Spons, I have a couple of words with this girl. That nap is on down from the Cinebar, attempting to drag out of the no-goo forest. I'm gonna have to assume it was not a puddle into the clutches of the pirate. Pulse bomb from Mickman stuck on the authority to secure the final blow. He wasn't actually knowing that they have to finish with some time on the plot. Otherwise, they end up risking a draw situation. So they're sending everything they got. Mickman firing bullet after bullet into this carry-go, but she just will not die. Cinnabar is way too strong to overcome with just the pellets and it's gonna have to be an OT fight. It's going to have to be. And I think, yes, Cinnabar tried to go in on Amity, but then it got canceled up by Crums. So that was a nice little bit of contact that was Crum just didn't work out, but now the rush and Juno, they're trying to end this fight now. All right, Amity, to pull Spawn into today, someone's gonna get points and you're not gonna have not a follow. Do it, touch is guaranteed. And Tori, that's where she wants you to be. Come here, let me give you a terrorist search. They all drawn away though, right to where Ivory is waiting to shut them down. Caffe Fika, take the on junction and with it are up the match point. Maybe some looks we weren't expecting. The arrest are from Tori to be specific, but still a great little performance here from Caffe Fika. And this was the kind you were like just popping it. that a little bit earlier makes all the difference and that's sort of your matchup and I've really did a great job on the Cassidy throughout that map and now backs against the walls and not an unfamiliar position for this team missing rocks team missing x-ray roster man I okay it's one of these rocks I don't like we're talking about rocks I was excited one of these it's a this is when you have too many missings and timeless and it's at least I said the other team name I I didn't just say rocks. Yeah, I just said rocks. I'm just, I don't know. That's actually my line, so I'm actually going to surprise. I'm planning too much to venture, I suppose. Actually? Wait, I need to see this. You're going to have to show me later. Oh, you do not need to see those clips. It is not pretty. No, I'll have to look out for it. In the meantime, we get to watch much better clips. So, I'm just Bickman. I think Bickman had a good start to this match. I put the chi on, pick a bit, lost the footing, eventually swapped over to the Freya. I think it's kind of coming back to the same core issue of this team is you can't get past this ivory missing DPS one Yeah, it's just been missing especially during the you know the first map or so ivory locked it down Here on me on jump ship And it's just whatever whoever you're not paying attention to more is the one that's really starting to line it up And it's not like it's a very passive tank. That's more of a you know playing for a P you're playing for the setup by that some teams have. Hitory wants to smoke 24-7. She's gonna go in and get it done. So there's so many different variables that missing X-ray are having to worry about in these fights. And it just feels like sometimes becoming a little bit too much. I think too Hitory when you watch her play you can tell she's a very smart player. She knows what the win conditions are. She knows what trade she can force. It's kind of like this mental game that I feel like she won. quite a bit when I came to these pushes this was an excellent example of that running in the corner for Crumb nothing she could have done about that but I think it was really good attempts team missing x-ray to get it across the finish line maybe we can have another draw on her hands and go to six I was like you know what maybe it can happen had that in the back of my mind but the Tori had this on the lock from the start I knew how to play knew where Ivory was positioned as well to make sure everything went the direction cafe Fika were running for and one map Jesse is all it takes for them to find themselves a ticket into those calling all heroes grand finals One map away from a little bit of a rematch in that upper bracket final But still needs to finish the job. The question is do we go back to Newjunk City potentially? Again, it's been one of the best maps 4 missing x-ray throughout this tournament The last time these two teams played they also went to Coliseo during maps 3 of that series And that was 105 to 62 is where that one ended up It was funny enough a Cassidy ban, which honestly I could see Great Right now, but it is gonna be a new joke city They did also just ban Cassidy on this map though earlier I'm not sure if you're in our first series, at least against the uh, shoal there. So, I wouldn't shock me because they like to play this Tracer Sheehan DPS line, which very few teams pull out to begin with. And the Cassidy is one of those main counters to it. And you also get the benefit of having both your DPS picks guaranteed. So I would love to see a Cassidy man here for both the reason of bye bye ivory and my DPS picks are good. And that's exactly what will happen. Yeah, I Cassidy just taken away. If I was going against Ivory in the form that they're in right now, yeah, I'd be banning it too. I just, yeah, I would because it's been so unreal as of late, and there's still so many other pieces that you can play around the Kiroko Band. We're playing on them. I'm getting flashbacks, Jesse. I'm getting flashbacks. Yeah, or we're gonna see another random lawyer off. I don't know if that was just a fable thing or if that is that's going to happen again All I remember is that first of all New York City? I'm telling this to all my cop players out there This is not typically an on a map if you are not Juno I do not recommend playing on a on this map, but somehow you find a way to make it work And I think this is this did happen as well against this the same team as the X-ray roster or this is pulled out you had some Moira being played from some but I think Cinnabar was on flanking Moira correctly Cameron did eventually try to mirror the honor after attempting to be reasonable oh my god it's back but it's back Moira will make an appearance Cameron and Cinnabar walking it in but as suspected the Juno grandma has made its parents. And also the return of Vendetta for both of those channels right now. Obviously with the Kiriko gone, a lot of those crit strikes are going to land without really too much opposition. And even though it's not as effective as it is against the D.Va, still not much a demon can do what a vendetta is in her face. Well there's only one vendetta now as we'll be a swap off from this in there so I will just look at that okada. Nickman wanted to take up the vendetta which when this was a Xarya the vendetta very strong player when it came to this hero. Sleeper though on the amity it wasn't quite ready for the effect of the general on there and even while you're taking sleeping, well, Nickman really adds the sword guy, so it's her pouring on her pushes forward, so she's kind of a run-down Amity and make it look nice and easy. Slice up from back and do a couple of different pieces. Should be first cap, both cap a Fika, so this is gonna be one heck of a spagal. The big admission here for missing extra is going to be how do we find pressure on the Juno, as Amity just gets left for dead. that is a brutal stagger and crumb is joining in now on that uh no where is Cameron Cameron is playing at a whole different objective at this point but it was at least a lie true yeah they will eventually get well maybe get back as crumb is just left for dead okay well crumb is getting spawned camp but no And he's on to It's just a wife rather You just gotta forget this flashpoint even happened if you were team-missing x-ray it was one flight plus a few skirmishes That's really what decided it as the recalls forced no touch Crumb not okado and that is one of the weirdest first rounds of the dark city. I think you will ever see And it's still not done. Yeah, okay Just um that makes sense I don't know why, maybe they thought that you could get crumbed into touch or something, but that is not the case. I would be terrified to press tab. You know what? We're not going to press tab right now. We're going to pretend that round didn't happen and Cafe Fika definitely don't afford shiny buttons to press. Uh oh. Totally. They're trying to get Juno in a flank here. Okay. Or they were. Now Juno, maybe the point life is for me. Yeah, that's probably safer. I do have three people that can hunt you down pretty easily up in Kory. The one doing the hunting, besides melee weapon, not so cool. Pulls out the fusion repeater, got to get the baron out of coalescence, which is a good assist for Cinnabar to come in. And actually comes up with a little triple kill. Happy Fika! Get the first cap and they need it! One ult. And even more changes now coming out for this AX3A camera. It goes over to the woo-yahs. You can just put that passive healing on Amityr or one of the flankers Just to help out a little bit more and also give some poke here to Juno. We're still on the flank. Hold up everybody Speaking of flanks though. Oh, that's just me. That turned into a real scary flank Absolutely unnecessary that oh the Rutgers pierced it did not need that And it forced beats! Every using sound barrier we're going in I was like, maybe a couple of sassas would be screwed, but Mick had then filled that percent away. I think it was more so for a ploy on the limit break side of stuff, to try to get something going there, or make sure he didn't die to it. But I guess Mick and I have been eventually tricked down, you know, although it took a point and a half to be able to do it. I'm missing actually half control of this objective right now. They are getting all the percent in the world. Work with, it's really just this scrap. They finally managed to force it, Jesse, but it's not going their way. No, and it's actually a 347% on point there for Team Missing X-ray. So it's not the worst, and Katfika will find a flip, and now we'll try and stall this out for the rest of the members of the team to get back. And it's absolutely worth here, Molly. The contest continues. No. I have read that it does have an overclock on line. Once they get healed off, I would suspect that comes out, but they're going to need the Juno punched into a punch. And there we go. I have read on the point, unleashes the overclock, ends up with one looking for a second, but it's Cameron instead. We'll have the last word there. We're in the chat. It's still Camufika. This is a weird map. Like this is a weird one. Cromy, you said on the jetpack cap, maybe just trying to get back for this contest to have some sort of extra feeling going through, but still going to be a rest of spree is somewhere off screen. You can see it in the back, hunting down Cinnabar, but Cinnabar wins those. Yeah, Cinnabar wins those. Ultimate does not care. I have Moira take that, he's a crafty final blower. Off the crumb. Moira is just like another creature. I don't know how she does it, but she's just permaflakes and, and Mickman, Nuttalgato, can't do anything against the likes of that. Tulo now, Procafe, Fika, one more, they're in finals. It is Nightmare Fuel watching this cinnabar flank on Moira. She is just an absolute demon when she is on this here on port and Tori will actually get back into the back even though she is still on the last point. Um, and it should have worked, it should have worked, just why not. Yeah, and there's still a lot of pushback. I mean, to this thing, actually, I've been getting staggered out forever. Hey, Cameron, I'm struggling now with missing, putting more attention onto them, just being on the Wii Ups, slightly more vulnerable. Gaffet Fika, at a bare minimum, secure the first cap. still have the dino just a throw on this and to let her go crazy again which is probably the scariest thing. Juno was hiding, but it's hard maybe to keep her positional right? A little bit of fear. Yeah, not a snakey, probably if not larger than a hitbox. It's stuck there, but it don't worry if you're not more overwhelmed. Keep yourself in the mech when a break. Subpar. Listen, it's still coming up big, and she has just been flying. She knows where the pics are. She's always there whether she's the one shot calling or falling off on the shot calls It doesn't matter the job is getting done. The bodies are hitting the grave There's two messy deal with here if you team this thing x-ray one more fight It's Ryan stay in this you be a cat nap on the Juneau That's for all the pain and suffering I think from the series, but I can't get out Yeah The x-ray rotated over to Junkyard attempt to get to the point flip did not work out everyone else It's a little too fast to get back Kato Chance authority doesn't have the sustain. Do you know being down the coalescence is in a bar once you like to keep the tank up? We're gonna matter anyway Because We are so beyond the realm of what is normal reality that Cinnabar still picks up crumb. It's finally the mic man who does stuff and says okay, please give me a breather. Please let us get at least some solid standing ground. Everyone just chill, basically what mic man just to do. Everybody just relax. Take a moment to breathe. Spree is now about to be online here for mic man. So is the pulse from their DPS duo, but still plenty of resources here. your belt DPS also as well for Cafe Fika going into this one in Cinnabar exactly where she wants to be on the flank Cinnabar has the angle and that does lead Juno pretty vulnerable you're not gonna get any support from Cinnabar on the play that she has been playing and this is a great start for Team Missing X-ray I think they're starting to see these play patterns come through from Cafe Fika knowing that Juno is left on an island they can distract the ploy a lot enough I'm hoping to make this a final fight territory particularly before he gets the next there's no chance for another push under this object and the team that does go through pulse doesn't land but make me still falls it opens it up enough for a chance here I mean just gonna try I don't think it's gonna do much you don't have to recall you can escape anime slam we'll do the trick I'm not seeing this actually getting themselves on the board now needing again a reverse sweep on top of a reverse sweep. A mini reverse sweep to start the actual reverse sweep to enter in finals. A little bit of a tongue twister here and this one but now the cross map rotation is starting on up and granted that's amity's best friend considering her movement tech but it doesn't really matter when Victoria is already there but missing is caught on of the rotate this is better like I'm missing something a lot don't get me wrong oh yeah an avocado are starting to shuffle down sometimes and that is enough of an improvement I think for team missing x-ray to have space or at least some more confidence on how they've been having to play jammy fortunately I had to burn the charge punch thinking she needed it to get Actually, the kind of flash that went out earlier on in that battle with Silence Ivory, is McMahon. I don't think he's free on finding any targets necessarily with that, but it's got to be B-Club, who are in the control of the point. It's a great cap. The Judo was already on her back 170. We'll make sure that they are further into the ground with that. See me with some x-ray. Grab the core. Alright, this Doomfist comp is starting to get some likes to it here. And this one Molly is... Again, it's trying to create as much chaos as possible. It's been a real struggle now for Juno to keep up with any sort of pace that these fights are in front. If that sleep does not land and the follow-up is immediate from the rest of their team, it feels pretty hard to get any sort of value out of this honor. I think in an ideal world, Kathy Pika is going to get one full-down rotation out of this honor before she dies, but it just doesn't happen. It's been too fast now, especially with that force bomb not quite connecting there. Not a collar. They really matter. And this is de-missing X-ray all the way. It's like they needed this desperation knowing that their tournament lines are on the line to step it up and reel it in. Yeah, look at this. Tori will get staggered. That's going to be Flashpoint. We're going all the way to five here on New Jack City, which if you would have told me that after the first two Flashpoints, I would have called you crazy. Yeah, it's weird that I thought it and then didn't say it because I'm like I don't really want to sound like a bias, you know That's not great. If you have a swap though, Cinnabar is now a jet-packed cat after going 22 and 5 on the way That's, that should be borderline of legal A lawyer should never be that good This is the way she plays it, like most lawyer I like organize tea plays, she's the one who bought the tank farm coal lessons She plays on the flake, she has no care of the world So, it's all the people in your right team. She's like, I don't love this guy in my team. Well, Cinnabar, that is her. She's really good at that part of it. I agree though. There's somebody who's free at the Doomfist, which I guess can't have any occupied. Well, good enough for the rest of the team to get a three kill on the point. I think it is only the tank. In fact, that is alive. So, can't they think back on their feet, it seems, for a binary? Ooh. And then it uses the strike just to get the heck out of dodge. little bit of risk there I think and we actually went the wrong side of spawn so I don't know if she figured that out. I think she figured that out now, yeah. Another rep party for the Tori, halving the corner as a tank. Huge limit break on it. I believe it. The ball wasn't there. Kathy, Pika weren't quite ready for that play to happen so I tried a tank for Mikko. I take the dead tank if I'm team missing x-ray and I'm going to steamroll now. Emily has the same idea, runs at the back line, it's only missing really, and has both of the chance to get these trade-offs at back. Well, she's doing a mighty fine job, all things considered, but another guy with two missing x-ray will get some of their own at the time of the game. Even Polespawn gets thrown out there from this one, so it's just the man out here from Juno, going his next back and bringing it to both DPS cells. And the title blast here from Cameron things are starting to line up for a mini potential Mini reverse sweep here on new junk city and again Juno every single time the time from is it that time though the sleep lands Maybe a bit of a cast records there Jesse There's a catrafic of sites so far. Yeah, Juno's dead, but so are three members of team missing x-ray It's not a auto and Cameron last one standing in Cameron stuck in and then in Torrey's sight lines, Nato Kato, not even the best lock. Somebody has to find a way to get to touch on this objective. Nato Kato doesn't have cool outs, has to be crumbed, but potentially avid need to get back on this point which she'll skip on by and make sure the overclock starts, but instantly dangled up above the Cinnabar, there's a shot in disco ball in the high ground, but Mickman is happy to join her in the party. Snipes are down with the South City of Kuspre and team missing X-ray suddenly are back into this flight It looks like a daring last-ditch effort from Amity, but it's still not in their control yet. They have to find a way to deal with the plorry. Juno permanently yelling her. From the front line, a great book though. Obviously the limit break. She can't follow up on it, even though it lands onto two. Hath Aethika. No ultimates themselves, but this point has to remain contested. Rear strike out from Amity. Looking for a target in the back line. He will be converged on into Juno, but Misson's back ivory is here. It's getting scrappy, say the least, but the one that still manages the stand is Hitory, warning of Nautical and the Vickin, and last and not least, Evidy. Those at doubt what could have been the start of something great is Silenced at the end, Cafe Fika. Take the Series 3-0 and find themselves in the Grand Finals. Exactly where they thought they would end up here in the Grand Finals, maybe not the exact method in that Final Map. Uh, there's just a lot of shenanigans going back and forth and Grits, but Amity do popped off a lot today, uh, but just not able to get it through. It is sadly a third place finish here for team missing x-ray was granted a team that again had a lot of, I don't want to say question marks, but just some of us were a little bit hesitant to put them in that conversation because you see extra blivione, uh, even valentine had a pretty decent roster this year. you're not sure exactly where this roster is going to land top three nothing to hang your head about, but it is going to be cafe Fika earning that win and earning that spot in our grand final. That's still $5,000 though over to team missing X, right? Not bad. Not bad. I think for this type of finish it go out in third. It took as you could. I think they were one of the most fun teams to watch during this tournament because they were at this level of unpredictableness about them and the kind of underdog story to go along with it but you face off against a squad like Cafe Fika that has this level of discipline and experience that I think only the likes of Time of Sex Missing and matches or well surpasses technically. Jesus is not many, I think they could have put a toe next to where Cafe Fika currently stand. Marge last to do with the performance of Hikori and Missing in particular. Yeah, both of them were lights out and even Cinnabar and all the craziness like a pick that shouldn't work Worked great here. Well, until it didn't eventually some things got changed around but Yeah, overall just a great performance here from cafe Fika and maybe still kept a few cards close to their vest as well Maybe holding on to some of these comps that are just going to be for this current final obviously where they expected to kind of land here after yesterday's loss in that upper bracket final wanted to improve on that 1-3 loss. Yeah, couldn't quite get it before, but I think this is what Cat Cafe, they're set up, they're warmed up, and they're ready to take off again in our grand finals, which we still have coming up, so make sure you stay tuned to that. For that, one of my favorite times of the day is we get to interview one of our players from the winning team in Kathy. Oh, never mind. I have been live. No interview. We are just instead gonna go ahead and Go to a quick break and we're gonna come back and get set up for our finals right after this I and we have a guaranteed pop to finishers ready to face off again in our grand flanels cafe Cafe Fika got the sweep today over team missing x-ray a team that was kind of surging up for an upset quickly shown What the true highest levels of gameplay are like in this tournament Jesse? Yeah, again, this is kind of like a quality we expect here from cafe Fika And one of those players that we kind of we had to rub during the beginning of this series She's actually our root wellness MVP of the match. It is going to be missing just all over the place during this series especially you open it up on map one I was a team missing x-ray are feeling great they're feeling hot and Missus just goes in shuts it all down she was absolutely locked in ready to play and yeah they're very worthy MVP even a Tory it was a lot of debate between her and but I feel like, you know, missing was just on an unreal form. And missing is and actually always there. Like she's just a player that is turned up to 10 and it never goes lower. I don't think I've seen a series this tournament where she has stepped it back. And that's a lot I think to ask for one player. This is the best performance we've seen from her in the years that we've seen her in calling all heroes and I am very excited to see her again take the stage for these fights. But yeah, of course, we have talking a little bit more about our sponsors for this event in Root Wellness. They're also here to hence the Root Wellness MVP.

That's gonna be it for this second series, Jesse. I think it's time to get ourselves prepped for the 2026 Colonial Heroes Grand Finals. One more quick break, we'll come back to you. you you you you you You the final matchup. Jesse, that is all that remains in our calling all heroes. 2026 championship brackets and it is the grand finals one best of five Cafe Fika versus timeless X missing second time now they'll be facing off in a finals and the second time that they're meeting in this bracket. Yeah, a little bit of a familiar territory that we are entering here. Thomas X missing 3-0 against Leica Virgo, 3-0 against Ash DeBluvion, and it was a 3-1 over Kafe Fika yesterday that earned them their spot in today's current final. Forcing Kafe Fika down to that lower bracket, we just saw Fika climb right back out of. These were the two teams, I I think we both expected to be here at this stage. It just seemed like they were kind of in their own level compared to everybody else. And now we're going to see who is landing on top here for 2026. It feels like the level of gameplay is about to rock it. Oh, yeah. When these two titans of calling all heroes actually end up meeting on the battlefield. And for Jesse, this isn't the first time, too. many, many of these players to be in a finals environment. In fact, every single player on time was X missing has won at least one previous calling all heroes championship with Wisps and Sniper having the potential to be the very first three time champions. I thought she's crazy. It's wasn't for Wisp. Like he didn't even play last year. Like that is the crazy part. So we're sad to see what they're able to do. And obviously, Caffe Fika, championship caliber players across the board as well. Misson last year was top eight and made a giant jump this year with this Caffe Fika roster, has really entered that top conversation. I'm really excited to see what she's able to do here in her first grand final. Yeah, Misson easily, I think one of the most improved players, but also I think being surrounded by the pieces, the players that she is, has set her up so thing well. Really cool to see the come up that she has had throughout the course of the tournaments and even seeing Turner as well this year. But at least I'm taking formal look at what our rosters have to offer as well. Timeless, missing, of course, favorite somewhere in the South. They've been very first team from the start. They have not lost a match in this tournament bracket. They didn't lose match in the seating tournament bracket. this little out of order, then why we'll be on support Saw Hill. I'll be the starting tank, but I talked about it with coming out of retirement. Mind you, after a year of not touching the game, to making it all the way back to the championships for the third time. Peace, and peace, then why scuffed and Z's, all our previous champions from 2025, they know how to work together. They are disciplined and they know how to read what the plays are going to be. And now we're not even talking about individual mechanical talents. Jesse like what does not with timeless I cannot speak what does timeless not have the offer at this point. It's just another ring right like it's just waiting for him at the end of this and the chemistry like you said between especially peace men why z they've been playing together for a very long time so obviously a very high bar has been set for this roster. But on the other side, the team we just saw in a 3-0 make it to this grand final, it is going to be Cafe Fika. Championship caliber of their own, but you can argue like Juno was in a similar position to what Juno and Nissen, I guess. That was Juno's first championship match as well. I guess she also has been kind of in that conversation of a lot of top six, top four rosters. Now this is their time to shine. Grand finals against the favorites you lost to yesterday. What can you do when called upon here in the grand final to make this time different? That's going to be a lot from cafe Fika. And this is a matchup they are very familiar with. And I think it's going to come down a lot on a Hitori. I think that is the one definite advantage I put on them is having Hitori's D1 on their side and saw Hill. Not as much of a flexible player and definitely gaining ground on where Hitori has been. I would not be shocked if that kind of continues to be the match up to watch for today. And why not for old times sake, let's finish it exactly where we started. One last Nepal. You're in our polling all year, it was 2026 season. I think we kind of knew this was coming, right? Like we had, we had to think it was coming. It would feel wrong if this wasn't where we ended it. But we could still end up with We saw a map six, you know Bring back all the way around see it Again these two teams during the CD tournament in that final went all the way to six And it was title sex missing actually with the reverse sweep that got kind of pushed back and because it was Map three that was the draw and then maps four five and six all went the way of timeless So let's see if they want to do this a little bit differently here It's going to be that jetpack cat that is banned out here on Nepal a different band than what they had last time on the stand There's actually the mongrel that was banned out last time So a little bit of a different pick here maybe seeing how well that cat was working for cafe Fika in that last series Yeah, Cinnabar certainly a threat Comes that jetpack cat and then right up there with her So I think it's just we don't watch it anigans. We want to play honest overwatch We're kind of brawling on the ground Here we go Lucio to be expected with the most part Questions where did Kathy Fika put weeks for this next band and it is back to be them banning the maga out Maybe maybe a bit of a shot back. It's already felt like she enjoyed playing the maga But no if it means that she'll win she'll do it and I think they realize that it saw Hills back up So may as well take that away take away something that obviously uh kind of figure didn't play at all last series either so it's not like they're hot on this hero by any stretch so it's taken away in case titles maybe had something up their sleeves consider again there's also the pay last time not banning it this time maybe had something planned if they did we'll have to see it later on during this series but again this is just the best of five is no real wiggle room It's not like some grand finals where it's best of seven. You can kind of feel it out as this series progresses. It is going to be a very short adjustment time. Small time indeed, but we do have some time to talk about, again, our sponsor in Root, who has been graciously supporting us throughout our championship weekend. I had the pleasure to test out the group head-picked skins care, because it's not just about performance as well. Having the skin care helps design to support you in your everyday skin care routine. Part of the gaming lifestyle and taking care of yourselves does not have to stop when you step away from the screen. The code radiant, you get 15% off your purchase, well 35% of the proceeds are donated to LGBTQ plus foundations. So make sure you grab some root skin care, save 15% and now support an important cause at the same time. So, pick up the cure code on your screen, explanation point route in the chat, more information on that side as well. These players, I hope they're ready, they're healthy, to kick off, what will be an intense best of five from top to bottom. Small flaws Jesse, that are going to be exploited. These teams look for spots on the top of the corner here throughout. It's time to crown a new champion everybody. And obviously, like we said, championship caliber players on both sides. Who will reign supreme here in a 20-26? It's a little bit of a new format, new roster is shaking everything up, but a lot remains the same, including some of the players here in this grand final as we get ready to set off. It is going to be that Lucio Kiritiko that will be brought out since the Jetpat cat is sent away, but it is going to be the Bastion here for Whiskey, still locked in even without the cat compared to the Soich here for Ivory. Sebastian all does that as much skill expression which is something that kind of calling with for it gives on a massive advantage in this kind of frontline Existence a Tory just cannot move forwards until she sees rips use that are turned up tiller reform This is the kind of do what I'm looking for missing on a hot streak in peace One of the best if not the best flex DPS player has been pulling for quite a while in the calling on hero scene I was a beautiful little elimination on this one as well as the pinch was trying to come through from Cafe Fika But just enough damage coming back out here for time us X missing to get over the line and now look at this Z is already 20% away from that consider she is wasting no time building that ultimate up and now time It's like this can just chill out obviously whist We saw in that last fight can get run over a little bit depending on the play Oh, that's why you see him and then he's played a little bit further back. Oh, they want you would want Yeah Yeah, I think I think it's worth it. All right, I get it. I get it. Let's just relax for a moment It's gonna be the limit break Available for the saw hill so a lot of eyes on suju when it will get used by Juno on the other side So you kind of the look for a bit a huge use your importance without so early It's so many tools being invested even the overclock now out of ivory you get the one Hitori just off the map to make sure that she can be back for a final full fight You don't have the tank to do it. Just no tank, no frontline presence to work around. And yes, they're going to have, if you're a cafe feature, this tank will sit online, but still a little bit of a risk as peace forces out to Suzu. And Chuno's had to throw Suzu so early in these flights, at least you'll have it back a little faster. With the consumerist outfit, a sound barrier still invested by Cinnabar. Yeah, the limit break is what Hattori may be wanting back, is now, and nothing, not even sooner, will be built up here for Cafe Fika. So Tori is spotted in the corner, is forced to retreat, and now this tourist form for Wisp will force out the cleanse, and now this piece pulse bomb is completely free. Artwell? Dory just sends it though, into the backline, like yeah, the trade on the piece is nice, but Dory maybe thought that she had people with her or that I absolutely have to go in right now because my team's falling apart. It did not pay off at all. It is 99% right there for Timeless only. This one fly needed, they have plenty of resources to do it. In the plenty of time, like I said, it's only 50%. So it's not like you have to rush into this fight, miss it, pulse bomb a little short. clinic appear overwatch wisps Don't do that, but This is just the team that has been in first the whole time Jesse. This is the team that is championship level talent for a reason And I will say whisper that that's did count round did not end yet That'll count for the scoreboard As we take a little bit of a look here, but for Ned why is zero deaths saw hill zero deaths It's it's just rough if you yeah if you're a cafe fika fan It's not the friendliest of scoreboards to look at it's just been so much more You'd see over a thousand one point five came more damage Already sent up I saw hell just because they've been able to play a little bit more loose and playing around that bastard It just limits her tories so much on any of the positions that she was wanting to take that took during that last series She doesn't have that kind of luxury in this series I really will make the swap over to the Freya which should help at least a little bit and one I was gonna have that level of damage but at least add a little bit to the range can they let's just watch as themselves in Hori at least manages to live this time can't quite say the same for Juno though it's to that comes up or the side of time of sex missing his piece worked their way into the back line so I think you saw the opportunity for Hori that's go up but because all hell is under like negative pressure they can kind of just do whatever and be okay so how's this going? kind of a Sunday drive just glancing through the streets in the fall and it will lead time-less X missing to another first point cap. It's definitely, you can see the adjustment Kavithika are trying to make. Hitori wants to go in so often on a lot of these engages but just doesn't have the support right now or they escape with no jetpack cap to really play with. He's the confidence there not to recall. Kind of insane. 12 HP, missing in their face. As the trust that these players have built up over their years of playing together and Tori though, get the whips! Just for me! She can do stuff! This is great news for Cafe Fika as the authority shall go nuts and they don't really have to use any ult for it either. They're going to hold on to that advantage into later flights that pursue on the shrine. Cheeky little 3k there for Cinnabar, not just on the Moira but also on the We see oh now you're in Nepal and like it's a big thing there's zero ultimates committed there from cafe Fika But you look at the open oh It could be an alt bonanza Charlie this next fight will be for alch for timeless like missing all five available for cafe Fika And the bullets sent out early just to kind of temper the expectations of this brush Driving window for missing the stick on the song of picture perfect pan-foam look on the limit break whatsoever Cafe Vika could not have gotten more value from that play and it's getting missing showing a big with the help of Cinebar Ruebney straddling down There is still some a little bit of damage right up on the high ground by time was like missing just trying to chill out for a little bit The limit break there from Saw Hill tries to add that over health just not enough to keep them into the mech, but still beat both DPS ults now for a time of sentencing on Cengage. Limit break's lingering here from Atari. You see the Suzu come out though? Instant sound barrier. Alright, I'm going from M1. Not usually a fan of Temple Beads, but this one broke out beautifully. The Time of Sex Missing. Make sure that the limit break doesn't get any value. If your name is Tori, you know, get the point back, but the old comedy essentially reset. Beautiful plays there. For Time of Sex Missing, hold on to their artillery strike, more than this can be used for scouting. During this next engagement, as it'll just be the pulse and Bola shot from Missing and Ivory, which we'll get built up. During the mid-fights a relatively tame on the ultimate after a few wild ones There is that artillery strike what it's gonna see a lot of cafe air up my coast force to see you in clen's actually very early Because the cleanse is out so early it's that's like a big healing resource that you have when you're playing carryco Lucio This is why you're seeing so much pressure being put on that. Missing. Ooh. I just lost my life in the process of getting it. Now the Z's are continuous, but being one of the stealth-flexible players we have. That clan is out. Uh-oh. That means a free pulse bomb. The Wisps' Bastion has a land of eight feet left to spare. It'll be held on their side. TI will sex. Missing. This is Battle Flight Territory and Cafe Fika are all but on their feet. As this percentage takes on up, so does Time of Sex, missing his confidence as they are going to confidently take map number one. Very solid map one performance here for our number one seed, trying to prove exactly why they won that upper bracket. And it's trying to have another championship for several of these players and a big reason why the Bastion had just limited so much of what Hitori was able to do. is a lot more freedom for saw hill and There was some funky plays here and there, but overall a very great map one here Fortinous X missing and now the power shifting over What can't cat if he could do what do they want to do? They haven't really been put in this kind of position very often during this tournament of having to pick a map So a little bit more luxury than they typically have here entering that too I have an idea I think I should Ben Bastion I Depending on the map. I think a Bastion Bank could also do a lot of wonders here And I guess I looked at that the stats at the end of that Destroy was nine and seven as a tank. I have never seen her Katie That atrocious I think you might have the highest not a desk on our team I didn't get a full look at it But it was crazy like that is not the authority that we know and it's the planning of Plimal sex missing They know what a Tory brings to the table here, right? You're willing to give up this mechanical pop-off potential that whips has to stick them on the Bastion Just to make sure it's not an issue like that is some serious commitment to the bit I say to the bed, but is it really a bit when it's always just as good as she has been so at time I was it's missing have a very good idea of how to dismantle this classic Demon tracer plus some hitscan that Kathy Fika have been favorite towards run Yeah, time will tell I last time these two teams played and I was just yesterday the only map that kind of fika one Wasn't Esperanza and that was a pretty dominant display So obviously they could just return to that The passion wasn't banned out in that seer in that map. He was actually the Freya and Lucio that were taken away So still options can maybe return to that here if your cafe fika try and reinvent some of that magic that worked out so well yesterday but you could also say that Thomas likes missing it's the one map they lost yesterday probably the one they've interviewed the most to kind of pick apart those mistakes in case that map did get thrown back in but instead it will be a flashpoint and it will be Suravasa either the reason why Atlas didn't get picked is Uh, Tyler's picked that yesterday and swept it. So maybe not wanting to return to that. Especially since you already used your Moga band. Yeah, that could get a little hot and heavy real fast. Understandable. OK, then in this case, this is a strong caching map, for sure. But it's almost like missing band the cat previously. I don't think they, when I've seen them run the caching, I have not been very inspired, I'll be honest. I think that they're just much better on the ground or working with wisps on some different form of hit scan. So if you ban the Bastion, I think that is just kind of the risk that you take. Same time, authority needs to be able to play the game, otherwise they feel like this series is just kind of done. As a something to consider for Cafe Fita, you only get one of those bans throughout the entirety of the series as well. Is this the one that you decide to use it on? They want to do something silly What they could cook with like a support line like a Kiriko band again try to throw Juno on the honor Yep, it's the Juno and the Juno honor not the Juno as the character man. We're never Juno friends Yeah, it's still getting me weeks later Juno the player on Juno the player on honor the hero It came on this but instead, okay at the sigma band uh, is one that we saw a little bit actually during the last series of Sigma popping up. Not a ton playing here on Sir Vasa. I wonder if this is just to protect, um, if you're a calf at Fika, you want to keep the demon in play or even maybe it'd be Orisa, uh, from Hitori could get pulled out. And that is now an option since that cannot be an answered band here from timeless x-missing. I think it's also too if sniper would we didn't see we have seen sigma answer of awesome in the past quite a bit I just especially with the earlier points but this because timeless x-missing is one of the few teams that has two tanks on their roster you put sniper in exclusively to play like a sigma or a diva maybe Azaria but neither of those are really getting played so we keep seeing is all help that is a guarantee. But you leave the bastion open. So you're kind of taking a gander at whether wisps will continue playing that or not. And the cat is guaranteed to be available. Timeless X missing cannot ban that again. So it could be an incastion form or it could be in a, we really just need Cinnabar on cat to get ivory in a position to succeed. So we can shut down the bastion easier. Is that bastion like it's it's an issue, right? Like it is probably it's the most glaring thing right now That's going to be the Cassidy band here Missing opens up some flank routes Are we gonna see a piece of it data? Ooh, you might we could see that here pieces In one of our interviews with them during this event it preaching the name of this here one of the few that are still running it consistently, um, obviously it was on Nightmare when they went on their run during Face & Masters, during the CD Tournament, the Vendetta was actually kind of the the go ahead and what started that reverse sweep. So maybe we see more of that here on Seravasa. It's got to start somewhere. Uh, didn't we see a Sierra on Flashpoint yesterday or Wisps? That was a thing. The Sierra was a thing. I don't know if it was a thing that I want to see again. I think that was only because they were on like Moga comps because of the D1 man, but hey, that was like the first look at Sierra we've gotten in competitive play. At least like a higher level match, we're not like doing a small amount of trolling. You didn't feel like it was trolling as much. I'll say it didn't tree pull out Sierra during World Cup group stage, and then it was like guys it's not it's not a throw. That's true. Is he gaslighting everybody? I don't know. That's kind of, you know, there. That is, um, that's really funny. Our producer just told us that their cats, or her cats, just jumped on top of her streamdeck cell. So it went to black there for a second? There's an extra bit of fly-through, you know? But, you know, we are on map two two-serial awesome but I already tell shout out a creature pine cone and her cat for making it entertaining but you know cats are creating havoc in game and out of game I know so much cat jet-cat cat I also think that's one of my favorite heroes it's been outed just because it's fun to say jet-cat cat you're also playing her a lot in a race I think that could be a little a little bias I'm a jet-cat cat abuser I was a seanna abuser But then Jetpack had existed and was going after Zenyatta, so I'm like, alright, if I can't beat you, I just won't join you. Are you thinking that or venture though? Because you were a venture one trick for a while as well. You know, I'm still, I'm still not a venture one trick, but I'm still going to go get the hands, you know, I gotta annoy people and outrand them on weird flamethrows and do stuff, it's great, I love it. Um, you know, we got a little bit of rock monster today. Very happy about that. Not a lot, so... It didn't work out too well. It did not. No, it did not work out. Well, it worked for stalling it out, but it did not work for the eliminations that we're hopefully going to follow. Uh, the thing that did follow up, though, peace is teasing this Vendetta. Okay. Uh, and Cafe Fika may just be a map behind on the Bastion pick, because now Ivory is on it. When Thomas X missing, you just throw a whistle back on the Sheon. Okay. Whip Sheon, that is going to be a funnel on the watch, but I think Cafe Fika, this is the other option we didn't really talk about, because I didn't think Ivory would do it, or Cafe Fika wanted to make Ivory do it, but I think because of the ban under the Cassidy, the Cassian just is the best answer. Yeah. I saw that by the way. I was on a Torb throwing an accidently by missing there for a half a second teasing us a little bit what could have been in a different matter. Peace is going to have a fun time until Ivory peeps their head out and then it may it may turn to torture fairly quickly here. I think peace has a fun time whenever they have a sword in their hands and you don't really pick one. Unfortunately though they are so zoned out of this plate that the Captain Swing demolished the hill and you can't get to the point Other than that's the every bashing experiment seems to be going away of cafe fika so far doesn't mean with chest as well back We'll find out. I think peace is probably swapping or not Where is he's going? I Don't know. Oh, there it is. There it is and there yep. Okay, so we're back onto cat bashing For Thomas likes missing peace will match the tracer of missing who is looking and I check your quarters v2 everybody critical that time Tori moves the ult and the mech, and he's probably gonna scare off quite a bit. Yeah, of course, Demon is, uh, is very stuck. And actually landed the limit break onto Nenwai and Xyz, but Xyz just TP's out, Nenwai flies away. Neither of them are really that impacted by it. Uh, and it all falls apart there for Cafe Fika. Granted, both TPS ults still here. We may have a... Checking your corners, Volume 3. Uh, well, nevermind, look at that! at this point. We have a whole series on it. From D's to 9, the whole spot, so if it can be at least 10, rarely, the only living bastion, 99% released for Timeless X, missing. That's what they get, they're gonna have to make a quick, rushed touch though. Keep this fight going. Just waiting out the rest of that Katsune roast from Juno, and still have to worry about the catnap here from Cinnabar, is... Yeah, she's looking for it, but it will be the touch and the pulse already from B.C. Yeah, I have the problem, Suzy, always gets forced so incredibly early. He just don't have an option to start getting big encounter play for it in peace. Well, they'd better at least and doing anything but asking for peace That was ex-missing Rather they could save their war here on this first objective as close as it was They'll still be the ones to come out on top Kind of a Vika, again, doing at least a better job now with the Bastion in play, it's at least kind of torture for both demons, now instead of it just being a Tory kind of having a rough day at it, but it's still a time to start just playing it a little bit quicker, pace and pieces all over the place, you can see they're all ready, bottom right off the map, just trying to get some early scouting out, set up this limit break for Saw Hill. This is kind of the duel to watch, right? It's peace, the established best flexed DPS player that we have here. In calling on heroes versus missing, one that's been on the rise, but not having a good time if you get to met with the Kudai, two of the eyeballs. Talos X missing. We're saying this, right off the bat, take sure the Bastion Form is out to push them away. The easiest fight you could ever imagine. After Talos X missing, don't really need to commit anything. kind of sense and pull down if you can get low can't really contest easy flip and now start setting up is that cat bastion in the air miss and at least sees it but she really has no way of fighting it right now yeah no no chance in fact she's the one that ends up getting foul newest sticks of grenade on earth that's the one away from points Katsune rush and cat that's going out I think Cafe B got new line into this we don't have the support ults of flight let's just try to get the mountain at least that mission has accomplished. Another fight gone look at this. It's horrid. Just kind of left isolated off on the high ground. She has nowhere to go. Just waiting for the rest to miss in. Paul's goes wide. Peace tries to predict the recall. Almost gets it but it doesn't matter in the end. A little wave goodbye to their counterpart. Yeah, there's the limit break down from Sawdale. That's too pretty to Strag 4 some early scouting, Cinnabar is going to be eyeing up that coast. Maybe for a cheeky little catnap, but for now we're just going to usher Ivory over. They literally smucked off to something else for a moment and then went back to the masher. I said I was trying to figure out what she exactly wants to land. Oh jeez, that was very low. Consider how she's built by Zees. And it will catch Missing Off Guard. And will force the very quick flip. I mean it is good. The Tracer's dead. I think it happened to think I really wanted to push this. They could. Then why though? Lots of guarantee that doesn't happen. You drag Ivory into an unceremonious dwelling. As Timeless X missing, full of that control as they once, and then why, written on a masterclass of this jetpack pack. I can't work. Great, that little break, though. Kind of stunts a little bit of what could be going on here for Timeless, but it's not enough quite yet. If the GMAT goes through a tutorial and there's just no follow-up, and just like that, Timeless X missing. One fight away from getting this to series point Yeah, just completely gone and still pulse and limit break of your own if you're timeless Everything this seems to be falling apart Juno a lot of pressure on them to get this rushed out In, get quite dodge every single bullet that goes through, the Tori though has the mech, and that's gonna mean something as this fight continues to unfold. The Tori will be the one to run this lobby down because when she has to love to play the game, things look up. More cafe, Fika, and they want to keep this map going just a little longer. Artillery is held by Whispville, and that'll be matched by Ivory, but again, it's a lot of eyes on these cats and a Tori in company. do find a wisp kind of hiding in that core so that gives kind of fika some more time to relax build up a little more of these ults and try and make a game plan for this fight obviously still need to use enough ultimates to win it but obviously two more flash points after it needed still to try and equalize this series Oh, there he is. Excuse me, out of the south of the town. I... Juno, the pulse bump goes in. There's like some arms up the tube. But you don't have numbers. If you're Cafe Fika, that is literally just this tracer against the world. And things are just looking around for Cafe Fika. It started out going well. It looks like they started to get some bit of essence in this match. Some sort of life back into their teams, but it just wasn't enough. Now you're fighting again in this Final Fight scenario. Mario into a consumer crush that you absolutely cannot match from Sombra just to get back to the point best Homeless X missing though. They have all the stops you could possibly ask for and they don't even need to pull all of them out I'll be a 3-0 of the flash points as we may as well be on a way to a 3-0 of our grand plans It's feeling that way right now Molly just the way timeless X missing our playing including then why they've just been unbelievable this series as we get to see what she got up to during this one and just kind of just keep it up actually it's a cheeky little cat nap and goodbye to Hittori and yeah just like it seems like whatever is thrown at them from Cafe Figo Thomas likes missing me yeah they take a fighter to here and there for them to make that adjustment but it is being made still fairly quickly and it's just it's a lot of struggles right now for Cafe Fika trying to put a lot of these great plays and just putting them you know consecutively in some of these fights has been a little bit of a struggle. I think especially for like seeing this cat come out too and you know I kind of had more expectations for Cafe Fika to get silly like they do and put Whisp or not with Ivory in weird situations but the cast are being banned and you So then, you know, they're gonna play the Bastion anyways, we might as well make that an even footing. It helped for a bit, but is it weird that I'm like, one, I think peace is just kind of dominant in this race of duals. But the men on the cat has been just outshining everything. Yeah, she's been just unbelievable. Turing a lot of this series up. And obviously, she goes on a lot of success this year in OWCS, not a total shock there, But a lot has been going right for this time of sex missing roster outside of calling our heroes inside calling our heroes And in this series in particular Everything is clicking to zero and map 1 3 0 and map 2 And it's just enough of a gap to worry it take even the graphic loads. That's how much of a It's it feels like you're right now though It feels like you're right now which it sucks because we saw how well cafe Fika played in the last series and even in Apollo some very close rounds, but it just seems like everything's working right now for timeless A reverse we now needed here for cafe Fika Yeah, I think you Timeless is just the roster that I think that this name this team has found around It's calling all heroes seen for in forever And I think they are the pinnacle of what success looks like for our women in Marginal gender players the game. We've seen a lot of players who are looking to kind of step in to the broader scope of the Overwatch eSports space. You've seen a ton of them and collegiate face at Masters and even opening these. Yes, these and both these rosters as well have had those levels of success and shown what the tournament can successfully do for these groups. The final map pick for this roster of Cafe Fika is in managed to win this one else and everyone proceeding it's these problems uh this is the one that they did win yesterday jesse and it was not close i think that is the hope and the last hope for cafe fika to steamroll their way back into the series something needs to change and why not go to the one map that you did get the better of timeless exit missing on and like i said it was not close. He was 141 to 61. So a dominant victory for Cafe Fica. In that map to that point was to even the series up at 1 apiece. Now it is just trying to get one map on the board. So this reverse sweep can start getting some wheels if you were a Cafe Fica fan. And last time on this map it was Freya Lucio bands. I don't know if I'd necessarily see the Lucio band coming out again here from Cafe Fika. They still have the cat band if they want to return one of their own. I don't think you do though. I think how you sit up there. I don't think you do either. Cat is just such an asset. You kind of need it. Even though, again, I think Minwai has been kind of nuts with what she's been able to do with both the Bastion, moving around the peel for the tank, and then going and doing these crazy cat maps and and getting away with it, like it's actually like I'm watching a highway robbery, right? Yeah. Oh, and then why? Has been able to accomplish. It's going to be Dima instead, which, alright, we're playing Demon, and we are only playing Demon. It's what this says. That is where they healed, that they are going to die on. Just holding out on a lot of these protect bands, like, hey, we want to play this, and nobody else is really going to tell us we can't. So far, obviously it has not worked exactly how they were wanting it to, but this could be a map where everything starts turning around, and now it's up to Timeless X missing. What would they like to do here in response? Obviously, Cat and Cassidy, both out of the equation due to them being banned prior, still can ban any other support or DPS. Do you just, I don't know, say, there's nothing that I'm like, oh man, this has been going great. Obviously a great piece has been the tracer So eliminating that from missing kind of makes you wonder where she would pivot to And again, maybe opens the door back up for peace to go on this vendetta I don't think it's gonna work if this bastion continues to be in play though. Yeah, I Think if you're missing right now though, it's either the she on or the forum and those are your two options and it's probably the she-on. I just based on this map and the fact that Pharah has not been played in general for this tournament. She's pulled it out a few times here and there, but I'm just not in a great spot at having that she-on. Is the best bet? Otherwise, I think the wincon right now for Cafe Fika, I'm looking at Ivory. You have the caskie available. You have this cap, Cinnabar. It's these duels between wisps and menwai versus cinnabar and ivory on the opposite side that are going to be a pivotal point for this third and possibly final map. There's a lot of pressure on this roster to start building some sort of momentum here on Esperanza. And you gotta think though, like we said earlier, this is the one map that Thomastax is missing, probably a Vodervieude a ton in the last 24 hours, considering how poorly it went yesterday. There's going to be some sort of answer back on what went well for Kafe of EPS today. Thomastax is missing. They want to find that counterpunch, they want to return to another title. For several of these players, they're looking for a third title. Like both DPS on this roster, Snanker as well who isn't playing right now, but it would be their third. It's gonna get, it's obviously prestige and history on the line here on Esperanza. A big deal, four timeless likes missing. Their names already very much etched in the history of calling all heroes, but there's just being another ring on top of that. They're gonna run out of fingers at some point, right? for all these championships that they seem to, yeah, yeah, swap hands, both hands, there we go. Keep them coming, keep competing for another seven years and then you'll get there eventually. Then we'll have to come back and have that chat, but we just bronze off the pick, half a fika, the only pick that they managed to find success on yesterday after not winning a single objective so far in the grand finals. Their last chance to show us the changes that they make and their last chance to show us the prowess that has gotten them all the way to the grants Listen, this is real No, uh It's not where it's torbentime. Okay, that is an unreal swing here from cafe Fika Okay, I mean, I gave her two options. She like neither of them so much on the bar yard Again, let's see what she got missing. Uh, this is obnoxious I think to the cat to peace anybody who does not have the range to hit a turret, which unfortunately for missing is not many people. Untimely, it's missing Conception, Saw Hill, who has that on a cooldown. Ivory got to run to the back side. It definitely got him to sneak for Cafe Vika. It's timeless, kind of fluttled into the small part of the show. But who that is, a delivery of the demon and an escort out from Cinnabar. The best taxi service you ask I agree definitely give five star rating is those headshots The next whips is shut down. That is the big matchup you watch between these two hitscans Other S to the series. Well, it's gonna have a peek of get tablets. It's missing I haven't really taken any still backwards yet. That's because they knew someone would slip in this case It was ivory night and team now with the Cassidy something else has to go and it's missing She's running it down, overloaded, and the shotgun. They get to the camera kill, do it. Let her have some fun, and the stagger along with it. But I think she just gave up, so we can get that one to her every night, which that makes sense, too. That's fun. It makes sense. I'll say less fun, for sure, all right? Victoria's still just hanging around. A lot of the reinforcements we're trying to say have arrived. That is a little break into the sky, and I think it was just out of range for Benoit and Wisp. It is still an overall fight win here for Cafe Fika's piece. It sent back the spawn, but maybe just testing out that Ludwik range. Maybe not as intended, but still works out, and now, Sky News. More of a win. Oh, and it... push in further, let's overstep, which Dori definitely did in that moment next to Ivory. My feeling now is getting these four in spawns online for Kafeika, because time was not missing or clearly wanting to invest in this. Clearly wanting to put at least some more in, but it is four in spawns activated that bot. We'll continue to move on four and now Katsune Rush popped here from Juno, and that'll just lead to Gwist, kind of leaning on over the dead eye didn't get anything this time. No, but I think it forced them into a small group of sawmills, so I guess that kind of worked out in its own right. It's far from over. Nivry and Sinbar still coming up with a couple kills here and there. It's Captain Fiko with the lead that they have, Jesse, as much time as they've earned, and then the back. And they're getting a little bit of flashbacks from yesterday on this one. Captain Fiko just running away with this map, and that is... that's a brutal stagger on Saw Hill. There's so much more free real estate down here for KappaPika to set on office, peace! Look at this for a flashback on the Genji! Oof! Alright, that was some targets, though! For peace on their signature hero with the Genji, anything with the sword? Definitely something they enjoy, but hesitant to engage into the team, just seeing how far back it's on. I saw a little bit of the play, but the story says screw that, I'm going in. Knowing that Ivory has the catnune from above, no targets. Really, to be found, it's instead a wrist who comes up big. That's two heads clicked, and two bodies hit in the swamp. Cafe Fika, after their push, will stop for now. But already, look at this. Nearly 110 meter lead for Cafe Fika. Still plenty of time. and over time, it's like missing a slowly chip away with this Torpec, unironically been working. So far, for Caffe Fika, it is forcing a few members to play a little more passive, having to, you know, wait out the cooldown. All of the Torrent piece kind of stuck in an awkward spot, but will eventually just have to commit the dash to get away from Hitchhort. They're a little bit catnued online, posh just because of the turret, but they don't really care as long as they can keep them zoned for peace and it works out in the end. Still got Cinnabar, has a final blow and final six missing, a team that is so good at using ults and it's cool down. Consistently, they're not working out, they're just not going to have saw-hill for this next fight. Yeah, so he'll loses the battle of the out of Mac demons Play it's okay. Yeah, not not exactly something you typically see as then why we'll let you just go back So she can kind of escort her tank back into the Fred Three alchemy is almost four for cafe Fika about the same here for it's timeless, but this blade You gotta wonder how much that's going to get done with no nano Yeah, and I was thinking, like is the counter catnip? Do we molten core the energy? Like what happens here? In different spheres, the Kathy Fika's reaction will be to it. The answer is molten core, and catnip from the opposite side, which is dead. Peace can't go anywhere because there's lava on the ground. And Kathy Fika perfectly counterplayed that. With a nice and triplet of ults there, matching the investment of Phyllis X missing a big fight within the win. Passive flight can now reset these spawns back into their favor. Still with that Catnap as well. From Cinnabar into this next fight, Ivory will have this data already. He won't have one from Wisps to worry about for a quick answer. All the signs pointing towards a very successful fight here for Cafe Fika, but usually when I say that, things go wrong. Yeah, I'm calling me out if this is a cast that occurs. That shot on a wisp was disgusting, like that was highlight real ass, there's some shenanigans going on here in the back both supports here for times like missing are just kind of left behind but it doesn't really matter when anyone is playing like that finds one elimination and keeps these up that's a little overconfident perhaps taking that flight is silence it's missing shoot at these one shiny button there yeah it's like you want I understand wanting to get rid of the supports that are in the back of that isolated but you got to understand both supports just when they're healing each other can live for a very long time in this setup yeah and here's the cat new now right when you're waiting for us to come out for just snap the shield of the Victoria but she does not care she's something a little bit breakin she can snap people's backs with not one but she'll do to three people and make sure that his robot is turned right back around on its heels and mark short cafe he's just trying to stall it out a little bit but it feels like the writing is on the wall here for this map as cafe fika it's been the one map that has been dominant so far a ivory look is another dead eye ready to go and cinema just a little bit of a swing around yeah going in for the cat new which everyone manages to move Whisps barely as a matter of fact, but every old Poppin' Plymouth sex-missing, they are in death inspiration mode. They're gonna find a way to win this fight, expensive as it may be, and certainly it's one of the fastest team kills that we have seen in this series so far. But still, it was on to the Katsune Rush as well, Molly. So it's not like it was everything growing up, but it felt pretty similar to. Uh, peace would give up odd to the Cassidy last you go on to the she on which make you have Juno a Sunabar a little bit more troubles that they had Like making eye contact with which that was great until they were Not where you want to be there the peace is doing these things She on another one of the heroes that they continue to stand out on all that progress Jesse has been reversed Yeah, a runaway bot will pretty much just deny any sort of map positioning, time of sex missing, pad builds up during the last 40 seconds, was still holding onto rush for a very important fight as that bot misses way back over to mid, but a lot of these ultimates are now starting to gear up for both teams, including the limit break from saw hill, about 20% away as Hatori already has hers ready and online, giving me a lot of suzu tracking in this one. When is there not? This is a crazy cool line up. Maybe more suited for forcing priority in this particular engagement, whether it is pressure onto tanks to try to force into the healer, something along those lines. Then why though? We're treating this bad by missing a whole tank of a plank right now. I didn't really get a tip cut from the rest of her team. That is a problem. But who cares about that? The Suzy River is just dead. So that's great news for Cafe Fika. They can just walk on boards with their own protruding brush, not worrying about these having to match it. So he'll use the ultimate more as a tool to live than one or two murderers. It leaves him at just 14 seconds left. And still, if you're kind of a Fika, this is completely fine. Just all the south towards mid spawns have not reset, so it's still active spawns. Ready? Avery just trying to zone out everybody to make a return to the bot and deny the touch entirely. Oh, it's your little rat and I'd be that any tearing away. You just snuck the payload right out from under Saw Hill's nose there. This is the beginning of something, or at least it has to be. If you're Cafe Afica, as they seem to be on the right track now. Definitely more of the Cafe Afica that we're used to see during this tournament is just, yeah, 132 to 45 here on Esperanza. Brutal. If your time is like missing, maybe a reality checkup. This is not going to be a free series. We're going to have to still work for it. But like you said, no more map pick advantage for Kappa Fika the rest of the way. Time is like x missing. They'll get to the side where we get to go next. And that's a lot of power considering but we have escort hybrid left so that all the map types out there those are probably the most impactful to in terms of you know you being able to dictate the type of style you want to take us to the next map I don't think a hybrid pick exists because we're just gonna play in the unjunction that's also very we only see me on junction this tournament by the way not if like with 13 or so matches that have been played, uh, yeah, no, not, uh, not on the Unjunction, and, uh, or it isn't the Unjunction kind of group, which, hey, fair enough, uh, but we're gonna go ahead and give Final Text Missing a good time to ponder over what their map selection will be, or take a quick break and come back to you with a continuation of the Colonial Heroes 2026 Grand Finals. and I'm going to be the first to see that happen. I think that aren't out of lives yet, but they're certainly on their last as they managed to scrape themselves together for any sparrons of match that very heavily went their way. Jesse we got to beg the question. Is this a fluke? The same situation happened yesterday. For whatever reason, it is Kappa Fikus all day long. Now it's time for them to show everyone. Is that a fluke or is it kind of just the beginning of something bigger here in this series? Somehow or some way, but the torque pin from missing actually got a lot of value. Just denying and making an extra annoyance here for time is like missing during a lot of these fights. But like we said earlier, you get Escort and Hybrid as your last two options, and it gets a little rough. Obviously for Hybrid, I can build Parisa or the obvious Neon Junction. And for Escort, Route 66, Shampalee, and Junkertown. We just saw Kevin Beacon play really well on Junkertown. So probably not the direction we're going. If I had a guess, probably a return to Neon Junction. But maybe they give us a curveball and send us to like potty some Here's the thing Jesse Sigma is Available at least available in the sense that Captain Pika already back this and that is a pilot sex missing special They're again one of the only teams I think they actually the only team that is consistently making tank sub-ins which we do have confirmation is happening Or our next map Sniper who is kind of the I'm gonna say Sigma specialist just because the other heroes that they typically play are not in the greatest spots as of now, so they will be subbing in for Saw Hill. Potentially the play has the demon in the back to pocket too if absolutely needed, but I highly doubt that if you're planning to play demon that you're putting Sniper in. No, Saw Hills emerges that demon player for this roster, so if we're going to make that swap already and have it no one it screams of something else is happening but maybe not it's not that I can tell you it's not new junk city it's junk town and I assume maybe just the wrong junk you know we got a little yeah see a lot of new junk city this event so I could see that like we queued it up just yeah that they would pick new junk city which makes sense I've been up it is in fact junker town it's kind scary and these teams also are using both these teams actually have a lot of success on this particular map so I think this is a I think it's a solid pick for both I do favor timeless yeah on this regard if they've had demon no I think that is gonna change some things it definitely opens up a lot more opportunities here for time is like missing because of course they want to on the Sigma there is nothing saying they can't just because that band's already been used but in the first option of a tank band being available to them other than map one it is going to be that D mod indeed being banned out so if you cafe Fika that's not ideal and I would say maybe throw in a bastion band but this is one of the few maps that I think Bastion really isn't going to work as well it's just so open as soon as you take a swing with that cat bashing comp the bashing is so exposed to where that punish is usually going to be a little bit more swift. Yeah I think the demon ban coming in too and decreases the value of the bastion as well unless you're playing like a melga or something I can see it being a bit more valuable but if we've sniper in it's I think it's going to be sigma that is what thymus x missing are running for and they took away one of sigma's biggest counters on this map the game plan of time. Let's actually see. Yeah. Cafe Fika. What did they go for? You know what the game plan of time was experiencing is pretty obvious at this point in time. Do you stick Hitory on some on the signal to match sheet? That is like kind of the hero that she first really started stand out on. I remember a while back. Or do you want to try to force something like the malware that could put Sniper in a slightly more comfortable position. There's definitely a they've pretty much been playing around the demon almost the entire day the only time we really didn't see them do that was when the Eresa actually got played on the injunction but that was more because of what they could they could have seen against the missing x-ray but it's going to be the widow maker take it which granted considering wisp is on the other side I don't I know, but that's exactly why the band is coming through Yeah, I if I was cafe pecan do that too and ivory and play it, but I think it's a lot better on other heroes But there is actually so many options here It could be the fray out the sewage not Cassidy, and I think that is going to hurt cafe pecan Ivory's best looks this tournament have penguin they can play Cassidy and Cinnabar can drag them around agree so now it's going to be is that going to be the pivot I have a feeling again it's probably gonna be a Freya and then whether it be a tracer a she on you could also do double-hit scan on a map like this and match it with you know a sewage or an ash you can get this in ash really all that much during this tournament but this could be one of the few situations where it can work but probably more that's sigma I want to see what Kevin if he can run a tank Because we know the signal is coming out from Sniper. So is that going to be matched here from the take of Cafe Fika in Hattori, or are we going to see a different one? This is... I think this map scares me a little from Cafe Fika. I don't want to be all doom and gloom on them. I'm just thinking, to history, that's just so very fresh, because it was yesterday. when you have your one good map of each Guaranda and then as soon as the cards are in your favor time will skip that ban, time will skip that map pick, it kind of just rumbles again and I think they need to find a way to build off this foundation that they had It's going to have to be on different heroes. I think that's another reason why Junker Town was picked is you know ivory cannot play the cast here and find a lot of success No, and that's going to be a bonus, right? We finally get to see a brief look at what we could be entertained for the final potential final man Did we get baited? No, I can't tell these fly throughs are so good. I can't tell if they're the real ones It's the real ones. We're here. I think the bait was the wrong junk earlier Yeah, I think I'm just like so hesitant to trust anything now Oh, I don't know what's expect that is a sword sounds Okay, wait, if Wiff is on the Ash, I could be on the Ash. Jesse, this might just be your match. Man, I have a lot of predictions for this event. Have I actually not been that bad? Which, if you've watched us enough, it's usually not the case. Oh, wait, it's usually swinging for the fences and help you bad about a hundred. Oh, by the way, look at that. Picker drops. Nine-wise already got her drops. With the little patchy Mari on the throne. See I'm not the only one who's enjoying it Okay, they're ready. I was like missing that's the throne they wish to stand on The end of this map is missing teleports the team out of spawn and swaps over to the tracer That's a hit for a common as well I don't know if they were expecting the diva necessarily to come out as to that in the domino decent in this matchup kind of sets the line where 10 of six missing are allowed to play And Tori is just gonna sit on point. She's really not gonna move around a ton She kind of has to wait for the rest of her team to create that space piece is playing daykeeper on this high ground and missing That really caring though. Just takes that whisk right away Missing I think having an unmatched tracer very happy with how the situation can turn out a little harder because it's walking over to the sojourn at the time they return to the flight it's like there's the max and will inevitably get staggered at some point later on he's doing a very good job installing this payload to make sure that there will be another full flight to the steam the break is kind of just left isolated a lot of times here from NY who is one of the better bridge we have here in and A. Uh, just hasn't worked so far during that fight. Missed just hanging on him high ground, waiting for the job. Oh, that was a close one from Missed. Unfortunately, it needs a standing right next at Wimps, so that would be Suzu'd rather quickly, but it frees up Sinobar to finally get right in there and scratch people as the catch. She loves to do it. It's her favorite side hobby. And there's very few finalists missing players remain. All this battlefield, Cafe Fika, they have the ultimate, but very confident in the fact they will win this fight and get the points. You don't have to use them. Great start here for Cafe Fika. Like I said, not needing to use any of those ultimate uses and swaps now being made here by a timeless, including Sniper on the signature Sigvon, which sometimes can struggle against the Domino, especially once that major perk is in, where you can reposition that shield, any sort of progress in positioning that Sniper is making could just be immediately shunned down. Yeah, and I think that's a tricky part, but if Sniper is just backing up anyway, so I give it the hope that if you can have a Sun-Sullied Ground, there's the Cat Noon, and Piperi doesn't result in all that much, just every single shot and button that was available has Melvin pressed, Panopticon lands onto three, and it's missing up to get some And now that pulse already built up here from missing, but like you said, there's ults on ults on ults during that last fight. Then one will stick the brick before the time being, not giving up on it quite yet, But it will be, again, another just taxi over, not even the Sky Noon quite yet here from Ivory, as the pulse goes wide from missing. Yeah, good try though. Tony gets the left guard, maybe for Suzu too. Well, there's only one. He's going on in pretty early. Actually, this ends up isolating Pori as a result of the tank going down, Cafe Fika, certainly moving backwards. I'm not entirely sure how that big inventory is panned out, but he's certainly made sure that no one can push up with her. Yeah, no, he's just, hey, I'm going to play Gatekeeper on the high ground, looking to see where her toy is making this initial push on through. Overclocked from Wisp, we'll just try and show him that back high ground, wait as the rest of Captain Akiko tries to make the rotate over, but eventually gatekeeping will get pushed out. I didn't hear you. And now Gravitic Flux builds up. So is the ult here from peace, so... This ult cycle could be dangerous if you were a Cafe Fika. down looking great In the back line a sniper of it neither having a great time the vendetta holds doesn't do Anything for the main part of the flight. It was just kind of make sure ivory got cleaned off this angle That's where we started And everybody just reset take a minute off the time bank and nothing else really happened After all that and even though yes, Kevin Fika still have that sky new now how the the rush as well from Juno because these can match to the rush. It's just a matter of a laning. This noon without the tracer involved. and sniper will suffer the exact same space. So even if it looks dicey at the start, Ivory and Hitori together, the managers will find a way to clutch it out and take us to third point. This break's really starting to get punished now. From Den-Y, it's just getting a constant pull from this. A constant pull from Hitori and Ivory. And even though it is helping peace a lot with these armor packs, play these very aggressive angles, it's just being a little bit risky. And now, with the Jetpack Cat, look everybody free high ground just with a few seconds and it'll be challenged right away just timeless now this high ground isn't this point crap you have to be able to have this positioning sniper I don't think it's a year for very long I you're kind of banking on getting the confidence flux and getting out and then coming back up for now that's not the cause of the toy that was out of reach value out of that ultimate that I gotta say is not the strongest in the state age. Having beat up my goodness off the back of Gatori was finally allowed to play the video game jet scene or about to roll this payload home. On a hero that we didn't really expect to see today. Ah with the dominoes popping off, shield us all of the rest of our team, keep on moving forward one minute left both DBS ults still online as they make their final run through. But it is gonna be a rally and a dramatic flux. You have to worry about Those phones used to get the suzu out just for the dead. I Big old suzu Yeah, no no fucks there force like we're either at the GPS also that you're afraid of peace I was the sudden strike online may not need to use it push kids hitting shots like that Everyone else. I'm back and all for now and wait and regroup for one final fight piece There's a lot that happened, but I don't know what to say. They actually happened this matter Ivory goes over to the Bastion for this final fight still like I said the Sundering Strike here From peace are ready to go two other ultimates as well as a little bit of a sneak here from Wisp Wiped and Zeeze managed to work their way into the back line because of it No one was there and helped him then line in the front. The Sundering Strike is good and no one can possibly shoot down risks from the angle that they are standing at. Beautifully played there from Timeless X missing, taking the sneaky angle, catching Kavika out guard, and will deny a full completion of Junkertown. But considering it's Junkertown, a very long road to go. If you are Timeless X missing, one of the hardest maps in the game to finish, now at least has a benchmark for the championship here in calling our heroes 2026. But oh, I guess this is more of the cafefika that we were expecting to see today, playing their own style, playing a little bit of niche stuff, including the domino, which look at that 19 and 2 on domino. That's, that's egregious. Really found a way to make it work and that's kind of the expectation heading into this map. bad the demon what are you gonna do you know that sniper plays sigma and sniper plays diva you're really not going to see them on much else but they're really good if there's two heroes hitory being hitory i just kind of played everything i thought level and uh domina certainly one that will be moving up higher on her list after this game oh yeah i would expect a a lot more Hitori on this hero later on. Especially if we enter a Domino meta, watch out, that is not a meta I would want to see Hitori on the other side of a lobby on. But it's gonna be relatively the same here for Cafe Fika, still going to be that cutico. And then the Jetpack cats. It's more for titles. What is going to be different? This arrow from peace will just be, just scout out a little bit, and then we get to see whatever pivot is going to follow suit sigma coming back and the vendetta for peace still confident that despite missing being on this tracer they can manage to get up in the basis of cafe Fika well if I was it's missing don't really care as much about the the flanking tracer here pepper never supports I do like to swap on to the soldier and it just gives a little bit more easy shield break Against Hitori especially early on before the Hager Furt is online, Kud has opened up some sightlines, but it's also still dangerous. Having to land those alternate shots in the sky against a cat is not the easiest of tasks. Yeah, not at all. I will be having to kind of back off from that one. As I was kind of thinking, I think Talosek's missing. Or Missy Alarm is not having a cat race in that moment in particular. Only one-for-one trade, but losing Ninvah, you would think would hurt more. But it's Tori instead, who found herself between a rock and a giant sword of sniper and beast there. So, Cafe Fika, I think you've had a lot of progress on this first point. David, listen, this still stuck back here, but eventually we'll barely get out by the skin of our teeth, and it will be here for another Riki, It doesn't actually because of how much damage got taken Juno's going to have they could soon a And take damage or we just don't do that. We don't want to touch the point because that's not interesting apparently that's five minutes for title six missing I can't tell if that was intentional or Happy if you could just wanted to hold clothes. I don't I don't know if I want to know uh like that. That's about where I'm at I don't I don't know if I really want to know if that was intentional or not It feels accidental because Missa was trying to set up for it, but that's rough Not expect the tracer there's a tide bomb them right there This is good start. I think that's me the next thing about Kathy Fika giving up that positioning is they get to hold This top space, which is so hard. We sniper to push through And Skrub is still going out of the military, just stunned it to oblivion. Yeah, that'll be a bolder on the Domino and because of the consumer rush, all of the fast fire rates, didn't really have much of a chance to play. There's, I guess, it's one way to kind of break through that line. Thanks for capping, because, no, other than the pulse bomb isn't just chopped for some reason. They didn't use anything there. So a decent fight overall. Like you said, it's just the pulse, and Missable did that back in, what, a minute, half but the downside is there's also four else on the other end great to no Katsune rush to match but this rally is going to give a lot of extra overhaul during the final stage of this fight your only thing is this cat eye either getting value and if it doesn't your bandit ship and go for a Katsune rush We got to find some of the way to win this fight because Ripson, then White, are on vengeance again on this flight. Beautiful shot onto Judo, Risen running away in fear, seeing the damage that Whis can do on any hit scare they touch. It is insane the aim that they have. Timeless Axe missing, again, we'll roll on through this point with Cappy Higa. They just cannot get an ult right off. This is really starting to snowball here Molly. timeless axe missing four and a half minutes to make it a hundred meters to claim the title it is clear as that it's still a gravid flux in the hands of sniper panopticon he's here to answer from a story but she has not been able to have any sort of liberties on these positions every time she tries to move forward she is met with a sword to the face So at least one fight at a time that is how you have to look at it here for cafe fika Can't overlook it too much. Tuna Rush still here for Zs. She obviously doesn't need to pop it right away during this, though, as both DPS ults, including another Sky Noon, is here for Iovra's. Missing is hunting. Where is she not? That's be real. That was both bottom of the back pocket. I think it's a little more value than the last one that we saw. But that only has to play back. I'm looking for a Suzer to the forest as men lie in her sights. You know that you want to put it, but more or so, He gives the gift to the wall instead and Tori just topples over. Old Sniper and the combined effort of Minwire will walk together back the advantage of Grig. You force back the frontline, nobody can come back to it. And now this bot, and this cart I should say, rounding the corner, the Wisp. In a very familiar position, this is the, oh you know, we ended the defense for Timeless. They're trying to end this series in the exact same spot with the exact same alternate. Now the opportunity is there, and Kathy Fika, on their liberal last life, the hotsecker ultimates coming up. They have to be executed properly if not when they don't fight on this point. It's already up to a terrible start, which takes out the tank, ivory to follow the triple kill, or the soldier, you know, very well, that they want this title. They want to be one of the first three-time champions. champions timeless x missing take the calling all heroes 2026 title Simply at the top above everybody else and it felt like it throughout the entire tournament a decent fight given by Cafe Fika, but it just isn't enough and their return to the top to the top of the grand final stage in calling our heroes for the timeless Organization it is indeed timeless on top Yeah, I was thinking about making more puns. The names are timeless. The players on this roster are timeless. All of which are true. Again, everyone on this roster. Now, multi champions, three times for Wisps, Sniper and Peace, second for Saw Hill, hill, men why Z's and scuffs who did not play but is technically on the roster. Crazy accomplishment for these players and shows what happens when the best talent in calling all heroes can get together and the heights that they get managed to take their talent. Just unbelievable what this roster has been able to achieve. And I got a combination of some of the old era of calling our heroes was messing with the new, you know, Wisp comes back and wins a title at a year after retiring. Just an unbelievable run. Just drops two maps during the entirety of champs and it was both on Esperanza. Two cafe fika, so I guess just not their map. You know, sometimes teams have that. But no, it just felt like they were on another level compared to everybody else. what a perfect way to do it other than you know what are the main members of this team what are the main faces of the entire collie go here a circuit them popping up it being whisked uh to kind of seal this one away yeah they wanted it and i think we got to know the name wisps from plays like this and yeah they might be stuck on the bastion sometimes but when we let them lose on the hit scan these are the things you expect to happen and time was like missing went into this knowing what to expect. They played Cafe Fika so many times. They've had the opportunity to watch the tapes back and seem to have an answer unless this bronze off at every single turn and those couple blitz in the road two maps drops. That is it Jesse the entire tournament. And that's just crazy. We have the same map dude and the same team. It's like all right, it's just not their map And it is what it is every other map in this map pool is just all timeless x missing It does feel fitting the return of timeless to this kind of stage Obviously the missing brain as well their first title here in color our heroes at a third place finish as well missing x-ray Great weekend for missing or the missing organization, but an unreal tournament for this roster They entered as the favorites and they exit champions I think we knew from the start this team was truly something special and matter to show it through here in our grand finals They'll take it 3-1 over cafe Fica. Please wait. We're not done just yet We still have our MVP announcements coming our way or the real wellness MVP for our grand finals and an interview One of the timeless X missing players to stay here. We got to hear from our champs I I I I I I I I I I I of the game. Championships have officially concluded for our Collingal Heroes 2026 season Miss Timeless X missing Rain Supreme and are once again the monarchs for this tournament and I think that comes with with very little surprise Jesse the talent the caliber of that it's just insane every time we see them take the battlefield as soon as you when I kind of saw this roster during the senior tournament like that's that screams a title winning roster it is just scary good and honestly how flexible this roster has been even like snipers so begin at the final map was like oh you can clinch the championship with this after kind of just watching the rest of the series from the spectators lobby it's it's incredibly impressive with this roster and again, even though they were favorite, sometimes that pressure and stress can get to a lot of teams, it didn't get to this roster at all. No, it didn't. I think her calm core collected start to finish a confidence of an experienced roster, but we do have to highlight one that stand out for today, a root wellness MVP of the grand finals, none other than the cat warrior herself. That would be then why coming on and I think we appreciate main support players enough You're kind of in a thankless role at times But on this jetpack hat and then why easily the best in this tournament and the impact of this hero was able to have under her control ridiculous It always feels fitting at this era of overwatch that we're entering with jetpack The final's MVP is indeed the cat expert themselves in Nenwai. She was just all over the place setting up eliminations left and right even in this one map of Esperanza where you know time was like missing loops. She was still unbelievable during that map. So a very fitting root wellness MVP goes to Nenwai for all the cat shenanigans this series. Absolutely deserved it was kind of fun to watch on our end as well, but you know what's even more fun? getting to talk to the players. We have actually not just one but two that will be joining us. We have Saw Hill and Peace here for a post-game interview. First of all, welcome both of you. I only see Peace, but I've been told Saw Hill is also here somewhere circulating. So first of all, I'm going to throw out to each of you Peace. I'll have you answer first. Second, actually for youth lord time champion of calling all heroes how does it feel you know oh it always a pleasure coming back talking playing winning i love doing that you're doing that a lot recently uh it feels really good honestly all just decided i always love you know showing up showing out proving proving what i got elastic what about you saw hill are you hovering around here yeah i'm here hello can you hear hear me? I can't hear you. How about you? This is your second championship now. Like just go walk me through what's going through your head. I mean, it feels great to be back and winning with my friends for a second time. I mean, I I usually wasn't even gonna play this season, but I got asked by this by my team, all them are my friends. If I wanted to join as like a second-tank spot, of course I'm done for that. This meta rolls around. I'm feeling the demon. They believe in me and I come in as a starter for the first time in a So it feels great. I'm really happy to have I've been given that chance for my teammates I was gonna say it was cool kind of seeing you return obviously was kind of just used as As you said the alternate tank for a while, but this demon meta rolls in and you're just slated Like how was it feeling kind of returning in a starting role this championship season? It I think it felt it felt really good for me I mean when demon came out like in overwatch one I feel like 2,000 hours of Reinhardt and then they made Reinhardt too and I'm like yeah, this is my character guys Please give me a chance. I will I will run the whole lobby down on demon I promise and then that's what I did except for us from we don't need to talk about them It obviously for you piece we saw a little bit of the data didn't really work out necessarily over on Esperanza. We saw a workout over on Jugger Town. Does it just feel like, you said a lot of winning for you and a lot of members on this team right now. Is this something with this group of players for calling our heroes that everything just clicks? I think we just have a very good worth ethic. A lot of us, previous WCS, current WCS, or Wisp when they put a long time ago would compete a lot. So I think we have a lot of the good work habits, workflows. We mesh our experiences together. I've told them, oh, I like when he came left at this, and then they'll tell me, oh, well, Zamba and Zep de Zep, or sometimes Steve would be like, you should just play Tracer and be like Ryan. So we have a lot of the nothing part of a team. I know a lot of Cousin of the Kitchen usually does equal a fire. But I think we have a really good way of making sure it doesn't. Me and Zee have been playing previous ODWs experience. Me and Eva have played on the Bobcats, now we're on a certain collegiate team that we're going to play on. I know what I will say. I will say for you. So we got, you know, we spent a lot of time as well outside of cause. So we know how we interact with each other already. It's not like just getting a bunch of good players together for a tournament, you know, plug it out. Like, you know, we know how each other work. We've seen each other evolve. I've seen like my backline evolve to always almost getting land, you know, as much as I wish they would. You know, they've seen me stop dying first on Flex DPS. Thank God. They see it and I've seen you know. It's still happening. It's still happening. Yeah, I did that a flight. I did that. I did that a flight yesterday like three times, but whatever. So the point is, you know, we always come together. It's like a little reunion, you know, like Thanksgiving, Christmas, you know. We always see it as like a little reason to get together, come play some games together, have some fun, you know. Awesome. And then I kind of taken that is it sounds like that you all plan to stick together going as a team for us is that kind of what we're we're kind of feeling here yes obviously that again obviously no one knows this yet but i think you know i think this rock this core players probably stick around at least for the next next split circuit whatever you want to call it will definitely always be back ready to play always ready to have some fun and that's it i just have uh... one more question for for both of you because i do you to have been around the block of calling all heroes for quite some time and this is always kind of something we like to hear from the players to start a saw hill. What does it mean to you to be able to compete in a tournament like calling all heroes? I mean honestly I think it's something that I'm really happy to be able to compete in and I'm really glad that this is something that Blizzard and all and Brady and everyone have set up because I feel like there's There's a lot of people that wouldn't want to compete and wouldn't want to be outward about who they are while competing in something like Overwatch or any kind of games that you have, like for example, Game Changers and Valorant. I feel like things like these really bring people together and it means a lot to be able to not only be able to play in it, but also win. So I'm really thankful for the production and Blizzard and Radiant, everyone bringing this together. I think it's something really great and I hope we see it next year as well. It's just a piggyback off of what Soho said, yeah, I think it is pretty important, like seeing a, what was it, X-ray today, they be a team of like potential face and masters and like OWS and World Cup and their players are legit an expert, like that wouldn't happen. You wouldn't get that chance if calling like heroes didn't exist. We saw, we saw Amity play Doomfist, I've never, I've never seen that before. That was actually insane. That was, that was amazing, you know, personal shout out to her, like that was, that was a crazy time. She was actually a demon on that. i was eating breakfast i think i don't want to do this god never seem to support is destroyed the enemy team it was a crazy time like you really wouldn't be able to get that without a circuit like this like those expert players or players who want to prove themselves that is a little mean you know i mean like but it's a good result without a person up in commerce up in commerce that's what i put it they wouldn't get a chance to prove themselves without a circuit like this and without no the funding that goes into this and everything the production they would they wouldn't get a chance And I think that's what makes it stuff like this. Also, what Sanjo said, obviously, like, you know, the present yourself and stuff. Like that makes it really special for a lot of people. And I think stuff like that is like, what makes calling out heroes really fun and awesome. Yeah. Okay. It's going great to hear about your positive experiences with the tournaments and, you know, if you've been here for a couple of years, we hope to see you back for years to come, hopefully. And again, one more final congratulations on the third consecutive champion for you, peace in Saw Hill on your second. Where to let you go though? I want to give you guys the floor. It did get the championship after all. I think you deserve a couple of time. Any shout outs, final words that you'd like to say here on broadcast Saw Hill. Yeah, sure. I mean, obviously my team for believing in me and giving me a chance to come start, honestly, like I really appreciate that. And it's been like a really fun, like months, couple of weeks playing with them. So shout out my team, my back line keeping me alive my feed, my DPS killing people all the time. Shout out WIS specifically for doing our draft, like our bad pick ban phase. That was all WIS to be honest. So shout out Colin. I want to shout out the production. I want to shout out the viewers, the staff, all the other players. Everyone put up a really good fight. I feel like every player in this Top 8 is a really good player. Every team is really good. I want to shout out my friend Millie. I miss you every day. And yeah, just anyone who's been a part of the circuit, I really I really appreciate you guys. What about you, Peace? Anything to say? I want to appreciate a shout out to also my team team. Nightmare, obviously again. I didn't say it last time, but we started scrimming recently again, and I can't wait. You know, I do have to play against my back line in OWCS and make sure to check that out eventually when that happens. That would be fun, a little fun, but I think, also I appreciate everyone recently who wants to tune in. It means a lot that, like, we get a lot of like viewership even drops or whatever, like it feels really nice knowing that people care and like again seeing the upsets or the games that people like don't expect to be good. Like always last year calls always a burner. It's always a good time. Might as well just watch every time it's on. But I don't thank you to everyone. And like I said last time, hope it happened again. Obviously we never know. But I look forward to a brighter overwatch future. I look forward to having this competition again late next year, hopefully. hopefully it'll be even more competitive, even more exciting, even more heroes. Map 7, Map 7 banger, Map 7 banger, maybe first of four in the grand finals, but like, we might as well bring it all home. Might as well put it all to stops. So thank you all again for watching and thank you all, like I said, for even giving us the light of day. And I love you all. Thank you everybody, thank you for watching. the game. I think it's a great experience. Yeah, thank you both for coming on for the interview. It was great to hear from your experiences and how important this tournament of calling all heroes is for so many of the players, the viewers that evolved from both the representation standpoint for a lot of our women and marginalized genders, but also safe space for them to be able to compete be them to bear true selves and even like some of the players we got to interview today. start and first big part of his ability here in calling on heroes. It's truly been fantastic to see Jesse. Yeah, seeing just how much this circuit has grown over the years, right? From the green Fortnite days now to time is like missing, leading the way. That's a pull. That's a That's a pull. That's a pull. That's a reach. That is, that's a far reach. As we take one final look at the bracket, it's been incredible to see not only the players and how much the caliber of player in the circuit has grown over the years. But also seeing just stretched across Overwatch Esports as a whole, it has been quite the sight to see as Titus X missing. Again, just Esperanza, the only op really for this roster, but taking it home here in a 3-1 Grand Final over at Cafe Fika roster, which had some excellent results of their own this tournament, but just couldn't get past that final hurdle. I think that, you know, even hearing from the time of six missing players to they have a lot of respects on the players that are in this tournament that In a different meta on a different day I think we can see his competition in a lot closer But when it came down to it with this demon the cat all the things that went alongside it a time of six missing Far away with the best team unless you put them in Esperanza never let them go there It is not it does not end well not for that team, but I like a lot of good stories to come from it as well. Like every player on Magic Mushies, completely brand new, the exception of Open making it to top eight. Same goes for like a Virgo. A lot of these players that are often coming joining these kind of long-time contenders for these top eight titles. Yeah, even Fable, which eventually that top six curse will break Fable. I promise you, I promise you will break. But it was Also seeing them back Valentine team missing x-ray was one of the stories of this tournament Seeing them stretch into this top three So so many stories here in the color our heroes championships here in 2026 With the name that will be a top of the story is timeless x missing after this grand final One final. Thank you to everybody who makes it happen. They get a route to zero in again Excellent each point root in chat. You want to go check it out 15% off in 35% goes to LGBTQ plus communities and Everybody just I'm looking to my right for now everybody in production Bochi ala deac panko Reno solve Everybody else who worked this event rain and Ari Killed it yesterday and last weekend as well in the broadcast. It has truly been an incredible event the game. I mean, it's a great opportunity to be able to play the game. It always is. I think having the opportunity to highlight these players that might not always get the same chance within the realms of these sports in general is such a fantastic opportunity. Thank you again to all of you guys for coming in to watch and support and give these players the chance to shine. That's going to go ahead and do it here for our calling all heroes 2026 season. Thank behind the scenes. Everyone with X been tiny shiny and twin salty and we hope you have a great rest of your weekend. I
